Welcome to 2025 with Burso, Sam Wride & Jarryd Goundrey

The boys are back with the first podcast of 2025, kicking off the year with absolute chaos. Burso, Sam Wride, and Jarryd Goundrey dive into everything from medieval combat to the realities of being an online content creator and comedian. This episode is packed with unfiltered banter, deep dives into niche interests, and some unexpectedly insightful moments.

What's in This Ep:

1. The Worst Intro in Podcast History

• Sam kicks things off with an absolutely shambolic start, and Burso calls it out immediately.
• A sidetrack into Danny Zuko impressions and live-streaming chaos.

2. Vetaverse, The Veteran’s Avengers?

• Jarryd talks about building the Vetaverse, a community for veterans.
• Nick Fury comparisons and Thanos-level back injuries.

3. Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons, and Other Nerdy Pursuits

• Sam confesses his love for D&D and Warhammer.
• Burso and Jarryd question if D&D is actually cool or just “closet nerd” material.
• A deep-dive into the autism market of train set collectors.

4. The Reality of Being a Content Creator & Comedian

• Jarryd reflects on growing his following from 12K to 30K and how engagement matters more than numbers.
• The ups and downs of social media, burnout, and weirdos in the DMs.
• Stand-up comedy horror stories, including bombing in front of exhausted firefighters post-bushfires.

5. Forces Entertainment: Overseas Gigs & Military Comedy

• Jarryd lands a dream gig performing for troops overseas.
• The challenges of getting clearance, military secrecy, and avoiding potential cancellations.
• Tales of musicians trying to smuggle weed into the UAE.

6. The Wildest Tangents Ever

• What it would actually be like to be a medieval knight in a real battle.
• A deep dive into whether jesters were highly paid entertainers or just medieval hype men.
• Random discussions about Osama Bin Laden’s lawyer also defending P. Diddy (fact-check?).

7. Comedy, Growth, and the Future

• Jarryd’s plans for Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne Comedy Festival, and eventually heading to America.
• The financial reality of scaling up in comedy ($40K for a special?!).
• The art of making scripted comedy feel natural and improvising with the audience.
• The best (and worst) heckles Jarryd has faced, including being fat-shamed by an even fatter audience member.

Final Takeaways:

• Follow your passion, whether it's comedy, content creation, or medieval combat.
• Don’t get blood drunk unless you’re ready to face the consequences.
• If you ever find yourself in a comedy show, please don’t try to help the comedian.
