Mirth

John Hastings and Nikki Briton get 8 minutes notice that they're scheduled casual catch-up for a drink in BOB bar will now include two hosts, some microphones, an audience, and will be labelled MIRTH episode 10. It goes surprisingly well.

We discover just how crap Kyran and Alex are at bartending, and Ciaran Lyons pops by to let us know why he's moved in with parental substitutes.

Comedian Alex Ward and ABC News Breakfast's Georgie Tunny are both from Brisbane, and Alex Dyson mock's them for it for 25 enjoyable minutes.

Alex is still in Perth, or at least in the sky somewhere coming back from Perth, so Rhys Nicholson dropped by for the first half as we just sat back and had a very chill chat for half an hour with the incredible Cal Wilson and hilarious Stu Daulman. A perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We talk weathermen, flyering, foot fetishes, masterclasses and what not. Drop down for the return of Dyson Monday night at 5pm.

Alex Dyson is DJ'ing in Perth so Susie Youssef steps in to cohost with Kyran Wheatley. Nikki Britton tells the story about the time she was looking after Kyran's dog Hopkins and she ate a razorblades - Hopkins, not Nikki. The incredibly funny UK comic Tom Allen drops in to explain his cooking prowess. And we give Alex a ring for one final joke.

Alex's leg is chafing. Or is it!? Red Carpet correspondents Josh and Eden from Game Boys interview some of the biggest names in film, Michelle Brasier has the definitive ranking of vegetables you dip in hummus, and we hear an amazing story from Cassie Workman about how she came to meet Daniel Johns.

We're joined LIVE at BOB bar Melbourne by Tom Ballard- who tries hard not to defame anyone, and Geraldine Hickey- who tries hard to get as few stars as possible from the Herald Sun, and fails. Alex also stuffs up the audio at one point and he is very sorry about that.

We kick of the very first LIVE episode of Mirth direct from BOB bar Melbourne! We find out in what context Celia Pacquola played Jerry Seinfeld, hear the noise that won Phil Wang the "best sound" award on British TV show Taskmaster, and discover that the Melbourne DLM (Deputy Lord Mayor) was once a Bachelor of the Year nominee.

We debut the new MIRTH intro music, Kyran has inadvertently been a bad boy, and we take a tour of Melbourne's Stomping Ground Brewery to taste the beer they're specifically making for us the champions.

It's the Firtht episode of Mirth! We discuss what the hell's happening with this whole thing, look back at how we got into radio, and also feature 2 of the best- but also most convenient- guests possible: our partners (at time of record) Rhys Nicholson and Elle Graham aka Woodes. Hosted by Kyran Wheatley and Alex Dyson.

It has been a minute since Alex Dyson and Kyran Wheatley left triple j. And much has happened. Including opening a bar. We hope. So subscribe now to get more episodes from us and our friends, and then actually join us to hear this show go daily during the Melbourne Comedy Festival. At our own bar. From Wednesday March 27th. More details next time.
