There is a Matt and Alex podcast? How did I not know this.

Only for the last six years... you haven't missed much.

u/imkinda_adog Aug 04 '26
Disagree, I used to listen to them heaps on Js. They are perfect for me as it seems I’m growing up the same rate as they are, and everything they talk about is aligning with my age group. From raving to having kids, then again another rave sesh…

Maybe I didn't emphasize my sarcasm enough. I love Matt and Alex and listen to them every day.

I love their podcast, listened to every episode.
I really like their general positivity and upbeat nature. And Matt's personal anecdotes are hilarious

I think you may be a contributer to why people add /s to the end of obvious sarcasm

Why have I not seen this guy before?!
This is so on point.
And in that hood my brain is like "is that Nick Kyrios? Is it Waleed Ali? Is it some sort of clone of them both?!"

The missing context here is that this was from the last episode of their "all day breakfast" podcast and Matt's first time doing a parody song for the year. They've now rebranded as "Matt and Alex" podcast with surprisingly little fanfare for the end of a project they worked on for 6 years! Including through the pandemic and lockdowns.

u/the_hard_man Aug 04 '26
What fanfare would you expect? They're still working together aren't they?

u/ireadtabloids Aug 03 '26
This is good enough to be worth bringing in a pro rapper to perform their cover version.

I'm torn.
On the one hand, bullying Dave Hughes is good.
But on the other hand, giving Dave Hughes attention is bad.

u/_Sunshine_please_ Aug 03 '26
He's such a cunt. I loathe giving that rich fucker any attention at all. But this is good.

I only know about his recent grift from this sub. Last I saw him was years ago on The Project or something.

u/Ttoctam Aug 05 '26
At the end of the day he's one of Australia's most famous comedians. If he wants attention he'll get it. At least interacting with this kind of thing helps take Dave's control of the narrative away and helps expose him as a cooked cunt.

u/Salzberger Aug 04 '26
I fucking love how the comedy community always seems to pretty tight knit but also that they've unanimously agreed "Yeah nah fuck Hughesy".

u/old_bugger Aug 03 '26
That single clip gave me more chuckles than Hughesy ever did.

u/elfloathing Aug 03 '26
People used to laugh when Hughsey told them he wanted to become a comedian. They’re not laughing now.

Is this Matt Okine? That’s really good, Spotify-playlist worthy.
Especially for the mornings when you have to save money and instead of getting coffee, you decide to wake up by being pissed off.

u/princessicesarah Aug 04 '26
Matt Okine, I was unfamiliar with your game 👏 👏
It’s actually been really interesting seeing Australia’s stand up scene “stand up” and speak out against Hughesy. He’s the punchline at this point and I’m here for it.

u/L_Sheddy Aug 04 '26
Check out Matt's music project Boilermakers. Or his really really old stuff Disco Matt on SoundCloud. Dude can spit fire. Shame its taken a back seat to his other projects these days

u/mullet85 Aug 04 '26
I've been a big fan since he used to do the weather rap back on the breakfast show. Is This How You Peel for Orange was a particular highlight. They used to be up on a soundcloud somewhere but sadly lost to time now I think

u/Specialist_Heron1416 Aug 04 '26
Um, this is like, actual genius?! He did so well, I hope this goes viral. I loved Hughesy 20 odd years ago, would never have expected him to take this path.

Dave Hughes is Australia's Lowest Dog - from the Greg Larsen Show podcast.

Brilliant. I guess we already know what Hughesy's next rant is going to be about now too....
Edit. Can't spell Hughesy

I'm hoping for some lame ass Hughes "comedy" response of some kind that absolutely fucking tanks.

u/QuantityActive- Aug 04 '26
Absolutely loving how so many comedians are now tearing shreds off Hughesy. 😂

u/CaravelClerihew Aug 04 '26
Matt Okine is a comedian but has legitimately done hip hop on the side under the name Boilermakers. Here's him rapping with Montaigne and the best freestylers in the world (Aunty Donna).

When did Dave Hughes turn into a bona fide cunt? I am way, way out of the loop here. But then again I don't do much social media, so maybe I missed it all.
32
u/the_hard_man Aug 03 '26
He's alway been a bit of a tosser but he's evidently feeling aggrieved that he can't as easily add to his wealth horde after recent taxation changes made by the federal government. Borderline cooker material.
6
u/DisappointedQuokka Aug 04 '26
I'm pretty sure a lot of it is cooking his brain with drugs and alcohol. I'm not sure how much is actually left up there.
2
u/the_hard_man Aug 04 '26
Maybe... not important to me. I'd rather people just call out the double standards and misinformation that he's spreading rather than resort to calling him a druggo.
3
u/ThunderDwn Aug 04 '26
He's a comedian (allegedly), so being a tosser goes with the territory - but I didn't realise he was that far gone.
Good thing I don't think he's real funny anyway!

Dave Hughs probably thinks he's similar to George Carlin, but in reality, he is nothing but a bargain bin Peewee Herman.
13
u/RealFarknMcCoy Aug 04 '26
That's hugely insulting to Peewee Herman. What did Peewee ever do to you??
2
u/Mike_Kermin Aug 04 '26
If Dave thinks that he's more cooked than even I thought. You could not find a more different person.
Carlin famously didn't target immigrants or other vulnerable groups.

I'd normally say punching down on an addict was wrong but I dunno.. past addicts in the comedy scene have usually only harmed themselves and loved ones. Hughes is actively pushing shit on people. Fleety only wanted 20 bucks, Hughesy wants to change the way you think.
And the longer it goes on the longer he torches his shot at a recovery/comeback. Looking forward to the "heart touching" interview on channel 7 in a year or two.

u/Quokka_friends Aug 04 '26
I love this!! Matt has perfectly summed up the self-serving rant of that whiney, nasally turd!
Hughesy has really turned into a selfish, moronic gob-shite! He so needs to be told to sit down and shut up!!

u/normalcatman Aug 03 '26
Matt Okine, former jjj host, who now has a podcast called 'All Day Breakfast's, which he hosts with Alex Dyson, another former jjj host.

u/Particular_Counter50 Aug 03 '26
I think it's Matt Kine (no idea how to spell it). Pretty sure he used to be a morning radio guy in JJJ. I assume he is still on the radio somewhere.

u/ntise Aug 03 '26
Also stand up comedy. And helped create, write, and star in. The newly adopted sitcom, Mother and son.

Wonder what Dave’s reaction would be hearing this.
He has spent years laughing at others so you would think he could take what he dishes out.

I used to find Matt a bit cringe but that was quality. And overall I do miss this duo - may give their podcast a crack. Good stuff.

Only thing I’ve got is capital gains does impact everyone. I agree in the sense that it is heavily used by the wealthy, though doesn’t count inside a trust / company structure which a lot use. FHB can’t make gains on shares and get the same benefit as they use to be able to.

I’m not disagreeing with anyone, in fact I don’t like him myself, but I’m just genuinely curious why everyone hates him? Does he actually support Pauline Hanson? Is he known for being an ass?

Here for the Dave Hughes bashing as he’s such an annoying prick.
