Advice Accreditation Bureau

Everybody has advice. Not all of it is good. So comedian Andy Procopis created Advice Accreditation Bureau — a fake government department reviewing the modern life advice flooding your feed.

Each episode, Andy sits down with a funny yet unqualified guest to examine popular self-help tips, life advice, and personal rules. Every case ends with a verdict: Accredited or Revoked, despite no one in the room being remotely qualified to decide.

This week I'm joined by writer, actor and comedian, Nina Oyama.
We chat about the statute of limitations of photos on dating apps, roll through some lesser known Confucius quotes and weigh up the pros and cons of an stress-free existence.
Nina swears by the advice, "A good life is the best revenge" and she thinks "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is actually bad advice. 
Do you agree?

This week, I’m joined by my best mate, Kade Robinson. Kade has been a part of the Bureau since the beginning and it’s such a treat to have him on. We chat about our time working in radio and the future of the creator economy. He tells me the one thing to do when moving house, and gives his strictly unqualified take on what causes kidney stones. And then I offer up a free tip to anyone who has never been to Burning Man before giving advice to Chris, who appears to be a bit lost (read: dickmatised) on what to do about a sex friend who may or may not be off the market. It's a fun ep, I hope you enjoy it and stay hydrated.

This week, I’m joined Content Creator and Presenter, Jeremy Franco. Jeremy talks about seeing Jennifer Lopez and Benito Skinner at Prime Video’s Obsessed Fest. He offers advice around making plans with people, the pitfalls of being honest to your friends, and the importance of making your job sound fun. We ask the very important question, “What do Creative Directors do?” while I defend myself against claims I’m anti straight people playing hockey and share my belief that Microsoft Excel is dark magic. If you like arriving at the airport 3 hours before your flight or like your name called out because it makes you feel famous, then this is the pod for you.

This week, I’m joined by my favourite (not one of) crowd work comedians, Freya Morton. Freya and I catch up about what’s been going on since she moved to Melbourne and found love. We talk about the responsibilities of cat-sitting, the importance of sunscreen, and how difficult it is to make friends as an adult. Freya thinks she should be able to wake up whenever she wants and explains who is who in the Australian music scene. I start campaigning for her to be able to say the f-slur and why I love Emma Memma. It’s a such a fun and funny ep, and our last for 2 weeks while I take a little break to move house. So please pray for me, or even better, share the pod with a friend.

This week, I’m joined by model and presenter, Christian Wilkins. Christian and I talk about what the "most delicious" role to be in the family dynamic would be, how our love of the pop girlies is only matched by the love we have for our brothers, and how ‘ambition’ has become a bad word. Christian gives advice around embracing your imperfections, and why we shouldn't "play it cool", and listener Marcel writes in asking us why his friend won’t post about him on socials. It’s a beautiful episode. Even more beautiful than a Jardan couch.

This week, I’m joined by comedian, star basketballer, and Ancient Egypt enthusiast, AJ Lamarque. AJ and I discuss gay cruises, the types of passengers to look of for on planes, and carving a different and interesting path in the comedy circuit. AJ pitches his “Pool Theory” when it comes to how to spend your time and gives his two cents to a listener who has busted a friend on Grindr. I reveal my totally normal way of counting time and preach the concept of radical self-reliance as if I didn’t steal it from the Burning Man principles. AJ is touring UK and Europe, details are via the link in his bio.

This week, I’m joined by comedian and girl dad, Sam Wade. Sam talks about his disdain for dancing, his love of mosasaurs, and flirts a little with me and my beautiful eyelashes. I share the tips and tricks from years of management training and while learning that I shouldn’t be a martyr and that my tight jaw is not just a disadvantage as a gay man, but could be a sign of neurodivergence. It’s a gorgeous chat. Sam’s performing his show “It Takes A Village, Idiot” at the end of June in Sydney. Check out his Insta for details.

This week, I’m joined by comedian, MC and queer ally, Jess Fuchs. We talk thrifting, Buddhism, and how the worst things to happen to you can be the funniest. Jess tries to convince me that doing things out of vengeance can be positive and that fluro green is a non-binary colour. I share my hot take on Yochi and ponder whether or not I’m a gym bro. It’s such a fun episode, one that Jess puts her body on the line for countless times, but it’s just testament to what a consummate professional she is.
Jess is performing a series of shows as part of Qtopia Sydney's Pride Fest. You can find the details, plus the vast array of events happening here.

This week I’m joined by my friend, former colleague and famous radio intern, Pete Deppeler. We talk about all things radio; the lengths he went to get interviews with the Modern Family cast, how he didn’t pay for flights for ten years, and his switch from The Kyle & Jackie O Show and KIIS to his new home on The Christian O’Connell Show. Pete tries to pillage my data and persuade me to charge for premium content. While I, with my husky voice, share the draconian rules my parents had for using the landline and try and blag a free pair of shoes from ASICS. It’s always a fun chat with Pete. Lots of lols and (mostly) some good advice too. I hope you enjoy it!++++

This week, I'm joined by 2023 RAW National finalist, Jarryd Prain. We talk about what Nicole Scherzinger is best known for, the worst case scenario when asking someone out, and determine when is the best time for butt stuff. Jarryd reveals that he loved the Pink Power Ranger and that he wants to go on MAFS while I’m stuck reminiscing about The Thundercats and confessing I identify with Lisa Simpson. It’s a great ep, there is something for anyone that farts.
