#11 Piper Young's Worst Date EVER!
00:31:31
My guest today is a crowd favourite, Piper Young!
I got to know Piper over our many lockdowns here in Melbourne. As some of you would know, I used make content on Omegle when I wasn't allowed to drive. Piper became one of the primary reasons why people came back every week for new episodes of 'Banter', my lockdown show.
You know, it's one thing to find willing participants to film with regularly but it's another thing to make a dear friend in the process.
Whilst on holiday over Christmas last year I road tripped up the east coast of Australia and visited Piper in Brisbane. Our podCARst begins as we make our way to a car wash to get my little banter-mobile cleaned.
As always, a special thank you to Piper for blessing us with her sense of humour and lightness.
You may not know this but she has built an epic audience on TikTok with more than 100,000 followers. I highly recommend checking it out!
"Don't hate the player, hate the game." We've all heard this saying before. If you take the player out of the game, the game is still going to go ahead.
The adult industry is the oldest industry in the world because at different times in history there has been government, religion and communities that have hated the players and attempted to dismantle the game but...it just won't seem to disappear.
I wanted to have a chat with Ruby because with the rise of OnlyFans, particularly over the last few years, she is an individual who has created countless opportunities in the industry and grinds extremely hard. Pun intended.
#13 I’m Going to Be a Father! Jamie Perkins Offers Me Advice
00:30:51
My guest today is Jamie Perkins, father of Ava and Zoe, who you may see in his vlogs over on his own youtube channel with over 1.5 million subscribers!
Jamie's fathering style reminds me of my dad's. There is a large emphasis on leading by example. He's open about getting expelled twice in high school but is proud that he changed the trajectory of his life for the better.
Jamie may have more low-key 'dad' responsibilities now but his stories about getting into the content creation world are awesome. He toured with megastar rappers like T-Pain and Macklemore as their videographers to get to where he is now.
I think you're going to get many gold nuggets of wisdom out of this podCARst. Enjoy!
Funny Uber Rides is a tightly put together production with lots of fast paced punchy laughs. Today's podCARst is a much more organic and natural conversation between myself and 2 passengers, Chloe and Georgia. We all gradually get to know each other and eventually enjoy some funny and interesting conversation - for example, how to lose $14,000 in less than 60 seconds!
#15 Olympic Diver Uses Hypnosis to Gain Competitive Edge ft. Brittany O’Brien
00:22:31
Brittany O'Brien represented Australia in the 2016 Rio Olympics, competing in the 10m platform diving event. I believe Brittany represents a new wave of top performing athletes. She has not only dedicated her life to diving but also documents the process as it is happening on TikTok. We, the viewer, get to witness Brittany's ups and downs in real time, as well as the many other elements of her life which include running a business and a public social profile. Enjoy!
Teri Kearns was an awesome Uber passenger of mine back in 2018. Last year she was diagnosed with HIV. The story of what came after this diagnosis is a mixture of shocking, stressful, terrifying and inspirational.
If you watch the episode of Funny Uber Rides that Teri starred in, you will assume that she is somewhat of a party animal which may have been the case once upon a time but now she runs a successful marketing agency, she fights professionally in the ring and has her own podcast called Fair Bit Going On - which I was a guest on last week!
Phoebe was my Uber passenger in 2019 and became my dear friend. A little while ago I helped her move from Canberra to Brisbane and the trip ended up being an epic 15 hour cross-country deluxe Uber ride!
Todays podCARst has a lot of standard childish humour from yours truly but I absolutely love where the conversation gets to in the 2nd half of the trip...even though the movers absolutely destroyed Phoebe's couch.
#18 An Unusual Meeting of the President of The United States ft. Daniel Mac
00:29:05
Today’s guest is Daniel Mac. He pioneered the now commonly used social media line “I love your car! What do you do for a living?”
When I was a kid, my dad taught me that “you don’t know, if you don’t ask”. Daniel isn’t afraid to ask the question…and it has gotten his career to a pretty surreal place. I mean for goodness sake, the White House reached out to HIM to meet the president! Regardless of where you stand politically, that’s a pretty big deal. But that’s just one of many great stories and anecdotes that Daniel and I touch on in our brief drive together. Enjoy today's podCARst!
#19 The Art of Manipulation - Becoming a Reality TV Star (Ft. Vicki)
00:20:06
Today’s guest is our beloved Vicki. She was my Uber passenger in 2019, we became friends and now she is a Funny Uber Rides regular! Vicki is working on becoming a reality TV star and in today's conversation we take a deep dive into what that means and how it requires manipulation.
I love the world of stand-up comedy and I admire those who pursue it as a career. My guest today is Zainab Johnson who released her first special on Amazon Prime recently. After watching it, I couldn’t get past how well she crafts a story and keeps you on the edge of your seat…all the meanwhile keeping you giggling. This is classy comedy! Whilst I was in LA, I had to meet her.
Timm Chiusano is a successful and humble executive who was co-founder to one of the most unique production & creative services teams ever built.
I came across Timm's content on Tiktok and was immediately hooked to his storytelling and positive attitude towards making an impact in the workplace. Given his corporate experience, I seek out some much needed therapy relating to my own corporate journey which abruptly ended when I was 22 years old.
#22 My Best Friend Asks Me Anything He Wants... (ft. Michael Kahan)
01:10:25
Michael Kahan is a screenwriter and podcast host with more than 250 episodes under his belt. He is a master conversationalist who has not only interviewed but gone VERY deep with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars on his own podcast, Funny In Failure.
Michael just so happens to be one of my closest childhood friends. Who better to interview me than this legend! I'm very proud to share today's podCARst with you for no other reason than he's one of my best mates, I love the guy and I think you will too. Enjoy!
#23 He Jumped off The Golden Gate Bridge and Survived (ft. Kevin Hines)
00:47:57
Kevin Hines' story is one of resilience, hope, and inspiration. At age 19, he survived a jump from the Golden Gate Bridge, defying all odds. A seal miraculously helped keep him afloat until the coast guard arrived, saving his life. In today's podCARst, Kevin shares his journey from that life-changing moment to his work in mental health awareness and brain health.
After a fun interaction with my Uber passenger in 2017, I explored the internet to see if anyone was uploading their Uber rides online. I found Ryan Is Driving, reached out to him for some pointers and he graciously replied! Since then I have always wanted to meet him, shake his hand and thank him for paving the way. Today is that day!
Harry Mack, the king of freestyle rap, is today's podCARst guest! I try to convince him to go skydiving with me as well as sharing a mutual appreciation for Marc Rebillet and Larry David! And yes, of course, the episode concludes with a legendary freestyle. Enjoy!
#26 How Does Max Fosh DODGE So Many Cease and Desist Letters?
00:20:06
Max Fosh is the ultimate prankster. How does he get away with all of his shenanigans? He doesn't. He has received more cease and desist letters than almost anyone ever will. Today I get to pick his brilliant brain and have a laugh together on the podCARst. Enjoy!
#1 Overcoming a Drugs and Alcohol Addiction with Phoebe Condon
00:39:39
Welcome to episode #1 of The Darren Levy podCARst! My first guest is Phoebe Condon. We enjoyed a bunch of banter whilst reminiscing over our past videos. We also discussed our friendships with Steph (aka TrendyBendy).
Phoebe opens up about her history with drug and alcohol addictions and we offer suggestions to each other with ways that we have tackled anxiety.
#2 Disappointment vs Regret with Angry Dad (Mark Orval)
00:37:13
Today’s guest is the legendary Angry Dad (aka Mark Orval). He got this nickname from a series of viral prank videos that his kids have uploaded online. Mark's reactions to these cheeky pranks are often…well...angry!
Mark's story is super interesting. He was an up and coming Aussie rules football star who played 7 games for Collingwood until an extremely unfortunate injury ended his career abruptly and when his sporting dreams were shattered, it catapulted him into 25+ years of depression.
By the end of this podcast you’re going to be able to appreciate that Mark is not only a stand up bloke with a great sense of humour but he also has a massive heart and life experience that we can all learn from. I love his explanation on the difference between disappointment and regret.
Two weeks prior to recording this, Mark had undergone surgery to remove an aggressive form of prostate cancer. He told me that he had been crying every day trying to come to terms with it all and it was very apparent to me that as soon as Mark got into my car, although he’s a big strong bloke, everything had happened so quickly and he was still very much processing it all. He had a lot to get off his chest.
I felt honoured that Mark was comfortable opening up to me while I took him to and from one of his first checkups after surgery.
Special Thank-Q to Angry Dad for being a part of this! If you'd like to see more of him, check out Mark's instagram:
Today’s guest is the proud prankster and stand up comedian, Lewis Spears. Lewis has featured in Funny Uber Rides a few times. I asked him to be a guest on the podCARst today because the way that he goes about promoting his online content and stand up comedy is very different to most people. I figured that it would be interesting to explore the mindset of someone online who is not afraid of being polarising to various audiences but with the primary intent to make people laugh.
I believe comedy is a misunderstood craft. It dates all the way back to medieval times where jesters would perform for royals and the wealthy and if they weren’t considered funny, there were severe repercussions - even death! Lewis and I explore this deeply and as bizarre as it may sound, he explains why it may even be in int he best interests for some stand up comedians to get cancelled online.
Our conversation today offers many insights into the world of stand up comedy in 2021.
Enjoy!
Special Thank-Q to Lewis for being a part of this :)
#4 Did Steph Leave the Key on Purpose? ft. Steph Toussat
00:25:33
Today's guest is the delightful and hilarious Steph Toussat aka #TrendyBendy aka Stoussy aka Steven?!
I met Steph whilst Uber driving three years ago. She was my passenger. Since then she has been in more than 30 episodes of Funny Uber Rides which have helped tens of millions of people around the world laugh. Stoussy is a crowd favourite!
Steph has become a close friend and I adore her because what you see is what you get. She has a heart the size of Uranus, she'll keep you in hysterics and she genuinely cares.
Our conversation today comprises of a mixture of Stephisms and banter as well as deep & meaningful topics - even religion!
As always, a special Thank-Q to Steph for making my content that she appears in that extra bit more special.
#5 She Broke Up With Me, So I Became Successful ft. Joe White
00:41:35
Today's guest is the very funny and insightful comedian; Joe White.
There is something incredibly wholesome about Joe's brand of humour. He mostly draws on stories of his family's immigration to Australia in his teenage years. They were refugees from Sudan living in extreme poverty. His dad was an abusive alcoholic who left his brave mother to fend for Joe and his five siblings.
What I love about today's podCARst is how the conversation flows so naturally from Joe's incredibly tough upbringing to present day, where we share our stories of past and current relationships and future exciting ambitions. The last 13-ish minutes of our conversation is my favourite!
I feel like today's episode has a little something for everyone. Enjoy!
A special Thank-Q to Joe for joining me. I loved our chat and, personally, got even more out of it when watching it through again during the editing process.
#6 The Greatest Job in the World ft. Rachel-Lee Anderson
00:18:01
This week's guest is my dear friend Rachel Anderson - but on YouTube you may know her as Rachel-Lee.
I met Rach at a YouTube event and she has since become a close friend of mine. She has been making videos on YouTube for 10 years. 10 years! In the internet world that is a LONG time! Because of this though, Rach has experienced many different online niches and has pivoted her content many times based on what she is interested in. If you think about it, the lifestyle vlogger is the coolest job. One day you can just be like "hey, I like cleaning my apartment in a t-rex suit" and your core audience will be like...... "okie doke."
Earlier this year I took a holiday after burning myself out from 4 years of making content without a break and Rach helped me a lot along my journey. This is where our conversation began. Enjoy!
A special Thank-Q to Rachel for joining me today. I loved our relaxed chat!
#7 The Problem With Being Politically Correct ft. Michael Shafar
00:23:54
Today's guest is the delightful comedian Michael Shafar.
Michael is a talented guy. He finished high school ranked in the top .05% of the state. He studied and completed law and biomedicine only to ditch it and pursue his calling of becoming a stand-up comedian. He has been performing for 8 years and is also a writer for The Project on channel 10.
Michael has been diagnosed with testicular cancer twice and beaten it twice. He dedicated his entire 2019 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show to raising awareness about testicular cancer. His entire hour on stage - at a comedy festival - was about his battles with cancer. I'm always impressed when people are able to bring light to a dark place. You've gotta have big ball to do that.
A special Thank-Q to Michael for joining me today! To see when he's performing in your city check out his website below:
Today's guest is the beard-bearing, Isaac Butterfield.
Isaac is an Aussie comedian who has no trouble selling out shows when he tours. A large reason for this is because he isn't afraid of speaking his mind, which sometimes means being controversial.
As I interview more and more comedians, I'm noticing a trend in the way that they see the world of comedy. First and foremost, they want to make people laugh BUT they also possess an inner child curiously wherein if they have a crazy idea for a joke, regardless of whether it is politically correct or offensive, they have to make that joke on stage.
They just have to see what happens when they say what they are thinking. The thing is, if the crowd laughs, they have to make that joke again.
When comedians get 'cancelled', you have to understand that the jokes they are telling on stage at their filmed and planned comedy special is likely the 100th time (if not more) that they have told that particular joke to an audience. It only stays in the show if it gets the laugh and to a comedian such as Isaac Butterfield, it seems like nothing is off-limits. Laughter is king.
This is the sport of stand-up comedy. Pair that with the sport that is social media and Isaac Butterfield is someone who objectively plays the game very well.
I took Isaac from a stand-up gig to his dinner plans for the evening and we got into some fantastic and even deep conversation. Enjoy!
A special Thank-Q to Isaac for joining me today! To see when he's performing in your city check out his website below:
Today's guest is the inspiring comedian and TikTok star, Blake Pavey.
Blake grew up in Corowa, an Aussie country town, with a population of about 6000 people. When he was in year 11 he started to go viral regularly with his funny daily comedy sketches.
Blake has amassed an audience of over 700,000 people on TikTok. Can you imagine being in high school at 17 or 18 years old with a following like that? Let alone in a small country town?!
He was born with Cystic Fibrosis. This is a genetic disease that damages the lungs and digestive system. The average age expectancy of an individual with Cystic Fibrosis at the time of Blake's birth was about 35.
I'm a fan of Blake's work ethic and vision...most of all, though, I love that he is a man of his word!
A special Thank-Q to Blake for joining me today! To see more of Blake online check him on TikTok and Instagram:
My guest today is one of my nearest and dearest friends, Nikki Ruderman.
I want to introduce you all to Nikki because she represents ambition, discipline and fun really beautifully. I became close friends with Nikki about 8 years ago. I would see her regularly at gym. Any day that I went to gym, she would be there and on my off days she would also be there - lifting more than you and I combined - and usually doing it with a massive smile on her face.
As Nikki and I became best friends we began to have these incredibly thought provoking and deep conversations about life, careers and in particular, relationships. A lot of my positive attitudes towards relationships come from Nikki's insights and perspectives.
Today we dive deep into the world of commitment and dependency in relationships. Only 1 or 2 years ago, committing to someone and being dependent on them is something that I would have avoided at all costs, but now with fresh perspectives and attitudes...not so much! Enjoy the podCARst!
