Melbourne and L.A. do not miss the upcoming Steel Wars Live podcast.

If you're in Melbourne over the Easter long weekend as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Steel Wars will be recording three live afternoon podcasts with different guests each show.

Then, if you are going to be in LA on May the 26th, make sure you have your tickets for our solo reaction panel at the Scum

and Villany Cantina in Hollywood, California. The Saturday after the release of the solo

standalone film will be breaking it down. Tickets for both shows are available at steelwars.com forward slash live. Just check

the link in your show notes.

What's up, guys? Welcome to Struthers Wars. I am Eric Struthers, and I do love Steel Wars. And each episode I find a Patreon supporter to talk about it with. In this episode, I talked to Matthew Thurban from Sydney. Turbo picks some really deep cuts,

so it was super cool to go back and check out some of the very early episodes.

Anyway, let's just get to it.

So, Matthew, thanks so much for doing this show, man. I was really looking forward to talking to you.

You know, when Steele first approached me about doing this with the name, Struthers Wars, I'm like, you know, I'm not sure I'm buying it, but everybody seems to like it, so I'm cool with it. I dig it. It's good. I mean, and this is the first time we've actually talked, I believe. Yeah. Maybe on a calling show, I'm not sure. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, so Turbo has, I do this podcast, The Bad Motivators, and he's sent us voicemail, so it's like, I've got to hear his voice tons of times. But yeah, I don't think that we have ever talked. Because when I did the, like, the listener picks episodes a couple years ago, or a year and a half ago, you sent in a completed recording of your own. So I didn't actually get to interview you for that. Yeah, man. So this is a treat. It's a

treat. It is for me, for sure. But so, so let me ask you, man. I've been asking everybody this.

It's, it's something that Steele tends to ask his guests about is what, have you always been
