Problems with Egg Love & Mother-In-Laws
<p>This week on Problemz, Brynley Stent, Catherine Yates and Vincent Andrew-Scammell are joined by special guest Shanna Paese — who’s running on zero sleep and absolutely thriving (or not).</p><br><p>The team dives into a listener who wants to be vegan… but also eat eggs, someone trying to figure out how to tell their mother-in-law she’s not invited to the birth. </p><br><p>Full episode out now. <a href="https://www.comedyfestival.co.nz/find-a-show/problemz/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGndfZMX0X4ZtraSLneIgWd_ePfEIbN3Wvq_UMg4kABen1cRs0Dlv7-Dxd86eM_aem_mD1zf8fawa1Xk9J-JXgN8A" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Come see us live at New Zealand Comedy Fest! </a></p><p>If you have a problem and want us to somewhat help - fire through a voice message via any of our social channels: <a href="https://linktr.ee/problemz.podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/problemz.podcast</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Problems with Following the Format
<p>This week on <strong>Problemz</strong>, we’ve abandoned the format completely.</p><br><p>No <a href="about:blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Brynley Stent</strong></a>, no <a href="about:blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Bailey Poching</strong></a>, and no improv - just <a href="about:blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Catherine Yates</strong></a> and <a href="about:blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Vincent Andrew-Scammell</strong></a> joined by special guests <a href="about:blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Ella Hope-Higginson</strong></a> and <a href="about:blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Milo Cawthorne</strong></a> for a full chaos hang.</p><br><p>There's some flatting horror stories, genuinely terrifying late-night stories and a bunch of conversations that probably should’ve stayed off-mic. We will do better next time.</p><br><p>It’s less “advice podcast” this week and more “four people absolutely derailing for 50 minutes.”</p><br><p><strong>Full episode out now.</strong></p><p>Got a problem? Send it in — we might actually get back to solving them next time.</p><p>If you have a problem and want us to somewhat help - fire through a voice message via any of our social channels: <a href="https://linktr.ee/problemz.podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/problemz.podcast</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
