I sat down with one of my favourite comics and people in general, Big Jimmy Small. Jimmy imparts a lifetime of passion for football on me in just over an hour. I'd been wanting to have Jim explain to me the ins and outs of British football for the longest time, even more so now that I've gotten so into Ted Lasso. Had a great time chatting with Jim, the conversation mainly skewed towards the business and culture side of football, but he also told me a bunch of stuff about how the game is played. Definitely keen to get Jim back some time and have him explain more, I just enjoyed listening to him talk about football.The game we had on in the background:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gyv2xh7qQwYou can follow Jimmy online at:https://www.facebook.com/BigJimmySmallCheck out Jim's store Veg 'n Friends here:https://www.vegnfriends.com/0:00 Intro4:50 Interview Starts8:46 Game Starts1:05:50 Life UpdateWatch my full hour-long stand up special Ruddzilla for FREE on YouTube here!Fill out the Ruddle Me This!

Steven Lyons is BACK and this time we discuss all of the posters and media that have come out surrounding the second to last movie in the Fast & Furious series, Fast X! We go off on all sorts of tangents, from comparing the movies to Rocket League, to talking about a far future spin off for John Cena called The Pacemaker, as well as discussing the absolute insanity seen within the movies and trailers released. It's a fun episode, don't take it too seriously and I hope you enjoy it.

Ruddle Me This might be closing in on how many episodes I did of Ramblin' With Ruddle shortly.

I sit down with Dan Bain, a writer, director, performer & maker of fun things based in NZ and finally get to pick his brain about his current Improv project Perfuct Storm. I'd been wanting to pull this apart with Dan for years so it was a very exciting conversation about where the seed for the idea started and how Dan's photography and graphic design skills have grown throughout this project. It's a fascinating conversation and Dan is very honest about where he came from and where he feels he hasn't lived up to his abilities in terms of one of the photoshoots. We also talk about where he got the idea for his innovative Instagram feed idea. If you've been a fan of Dan and especially been in to see Perfuct Storm, you won't want to miss this one!0:00 Intro1:52 Interview Starts2:28 Perfuct Storm35:40 The Perfuct Insta Feed41:02 Wrapping it up48:53 Life Update51:43 All My Covid Jokes PromoDan Bain's Linktree:https://linktr.ee/iamdanbainHis THREE instagram accountshttps://www.instagram.com/noosedoctopus/https://www.instagram.com/standupinhell/https://www.instagram.com/perfuctshow/His two podcastshttps://sleepytime.buzzsprout.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/x-men-the-animated-series-rexamined/id1674510436https://www.facebook.com/iamdanbainThese are NOT the rules of improvisationhttps://ko-fi.com/s/8507fd72feWatch my full hour-long stand up special Ruddzilla for FREE on YouTube here!Fill out the Ruddle Me This!

I sit down with Dan Bain, a writer, director, performer & maker of fun things based in NZ. In this episode we talk about the album cover for the album Hail to The Thief by Radiohead and discuss the way this album and Radiohead in general have inspired Dan throughout his career as a creative. We get into Dan's workflow a bit and see how he manages his many projects as a sort of one band band production company. There's also the usual gentle banter with plenty of laughs along the way.0:00 Intro3:00 Interview Starts4:02 Hail to The Thief by Radiohead42:47 Life Update46:47 All My Covid Jokes PromoDan Bain's Linktree:https://linktr.ee/iamdanbainHis THREE instagram accountshttps://www.instagram.com/noosedoctopus/https://www.instagram.com/standupinhell/https://www.instagram.com/perfuctshow/His two podcastshttps://sleepytime.buzzsprout.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/x-men-the-animated-series-rexamined/id1674510436https://www.facebook.com/iamdanbainThese are NOT the rules of improvisationhttps://ko-fi.com/s/8507fd72feWatch my full hour-long stand up special Ruddzilla for FREE on YouTube here!Fill out the Ruddle Me This!

In this episode we hear part 2 of my interview with Jeff Clark in which we talk about his alter ego Gary Starlight who he performs some incredible musical comedy as, the first time I saw him do it my mind was blown and I was really appreciative of being able to do a deep dive with Jeff and asking all of the questions I've had on my mind since I've known him. We get into the origins of the character and how his mind works when he is playing Gary, it's very fascinating to hear. We then move on to his experimental stand-up show Infinite Jeff a multiverse type show about where his life might have ended up if he didn't become an improviser. We head off on a couple of tangents about an experimental comedy set idea that Jeff has, as well as how amazing public libraries are and the litany of amazing services they provide. We wrap things up by breaking down the first ever comedy poster I designed, Jeff gives me some very kind but very insightful feedback.0:00 Gary Starlight19:01 Infinite Jeff30:00 Jeff's Comedy Set Concept32:20 Public Libraries are AWESOME34:46 My First Comedy Poster49:48 My Life UpdateYou can follow Jeff online at:https://www.facebook.com/garystarlightsingshttps://www.facebook.com/JeffClarkPerformerhttps://www.instagram.com/comikazejeff/https://www.twitter.com/comikazejeff/Watch my full hour-long stand up special Ruddzilla for FREE on YouTube here!Fill out the Ruddle Me This!

Episode 6 of the podcast is live and under the new umbrella title of Ruddle Me This! It's the same general formula, me talking with a guest that I find interesting, except we're not limiting ourselves entirely to poster based discussions, although I have found the format of asking the guests about posters meaningful to them to be a great conversation topic so we will invariably see more episodes about posters, I just wanted to change it up so that it's not the only thing I can talk about with my guests.In this episode Jeff Clark, Christchurch based musical improviser talks me through his 20 year career in improv, as well as his stints working as the marketing manager for a couple of theatre companies and an arts festival. We get into the nuts and bolts of marketing for a theatre, and then move into the poster Jeff brought with him, Raiders of the lost ark. We chat about Multiverse stuff a bit, and whether Star Wars has entered it's own Multiverse phase much like the Marvel Cinematic Universe has. Taylor even learns that Rhian Johnson directed one of the Star Wars movies he hasn't seen. As you can imagine when you get a couple of nerds in a room, many geeky tangents ensue!

 In this episode I chat with Auckland based comedian Steven Lyons about movies 6 through 10 of the Fast & Furious series. We also chat about the idea of an actor's likeness being taken over and used in the case of their death by things like AI and Deepfaking. We get into the history of James Bond movie henchmen and the classic kung fu masterpieces of our youth. And naturally we riff on how ridiculously awesome the series has gotten as well as our predictions for Fast X.You can follow Steven online at:https://www.facebook.com/StevenLyonsComedyhttps://twitter.com/stelyonshttps://www.instagram.com/stelyons0:00 Fast & Furious 613:24 Furious 718:09 Fate Of The Furious23:40 Hobbs & Shaw31:29 F9 The Fast Saga34:58 Fast X39:45 Series Recap41:37 After Dark53:32 AnnouncementWatch my full hour-long stand up special Ruddzilla for FREE on YouTube here!Fill out the Ruddle Me This!

In this episode I chat with Auckland based comedian Steven Lyons about movies 1 through 5 of the Fast & Furious series.

In this episode I talk about 2 of 4 movies I've curated from a category I call "bottle horror" movies. Horror/thriller movies that take place primarily in one location with a small cast and they're usually talking head sort of movies that are weirdly cosy to watch. I think these movies are relatively unknown, so I hope I am introducing some fun new movies to you all. Today I'm talking about the movies Frozen (2010) and Crawl (2019) today, go back and listen to the previous episode if you'd like to hear me talk about Fall (2022) and Buried (2010). I also mention but don't do a full delve on the films The Descent (2005), Hush (2016), 127 Hours (2010) and The Ledge (2022).0:00:00 Intro0:00:57 Frozen0:29:38 Crawl0:48:34 Hush0:50:47 The Descent0:54:11 127 hours0:55:57 The Ledge1:07:44 Patreon Plug1:08:57 Outro / After Dark-ishIntro Music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN3tXX2XgjYRain Ambiance:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuDaLBemTu0&Mountain Ambiance:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oif9FPVFlTYWolf Howl:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvskPnVqJ78Night Time Ambience:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0OrfSQr_3cWatch my full hour-long stand up special Ruddzilla for FREE on YouTube here!Fill out the Ruddle Me This!
