Brynley Stent, Bailey Poching, Catherine Yates & Vincent Andrew-Scammell
This week on Problemz, Brynley Stent, Catherine Yates and Vincent Andrew-Scammell are joined by guest improviser Shanna Paese, who steps in seamlessly and immediately helps derail everything.
We tackle a listener who’s been brutally left out of the family group chat, spiralling into theories, confrontations, and some truly cursed family dynamics. Then it’s onto a workplace identity crisis, where being the “old one” in the office leads to painfully unfunny jokes and some desperate attempts to fit in.

Problems with Egg Love & Mother-In-Laws
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).
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.
Full episode out now. Come see us live at New Zealand Comedy Fest!

Problems with Following the Format
This week on Problemz, we’ve abandoned the format completely.
No Brynley Stent (about:blank), no Bailey Poching (about:blank), and no improv - just Catherine Yates (about:blank) and Vincent Andrew-Scammell (about:blank) joined by special guests Ella Hope-Higginson (about:blank) and Milo Cawthorne (about:blank) for a full chaos hang.
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.
It’s less “advice podcast” this week and more “four people absolutely derailing for 50 minutes.”
Full episode out now.
Got a problem? Send it in — we might actually get back to solving them next time.
