2 Worlds Collide Podcast

In This Episode of 2 Worlds Collide: Amos Gill – Comedy, Conflict, and the Human Condition This week, I sit down with Amos Gill—Aussie stand-up legend, radio host, and now international comic based in LA—for a chat that goes deeper than punchlines. We talk about everything from the absurdities of modern life to the ancient truths buried in war—including a powerful conversation about fighting in Afghanistan, a place that’s seen conflict for thousands of years. In one of the most thought-provoking moments of the podcast, we explore the idea that modern-day warfighters are more connected to our ancestors than anyone else alive today—men and women who have lived, fought, and died on that same soil for generations. 💬 In this episode, we cover: 👉 The eternal nature of war and what Afghanistan represents on a historical level 👉 Why stand-up comedians and soldiers both deal in truth under pressure 👉 Amos' no-holds-barred approach to comedy and how it clashes with modern cancel culture 👉 The deep connection between ancient warriors and today’s combat veterans 👉 The fine line between satire, social commentary, and speaking uncomfortable truths This one’s raw, reflective, and relentlessly honest—you’ll laugh, but you’ll also walk away thinking. 📅 Full episode drops this weekend! 📢 Connect with Us: 🌐 Website: www.2worldscollide.com.au 📱 Instagram: @2worldscollidepodcast 🐦 TikTok: @2.worlds.collide.podcast 📱 X: @2worldsPodcast 🔥 Watch & Subscribe for More: 📺 YouTube: /@2worldscollide 🎧 Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more!

In this episode of 2 Worlds Collide, I sit down with Jarryd Goundrey—former soldier, chef, and now full-time stand-up comedian who’s carved his own path from the Army barracks to sold-out comedy clubs. Jarryd’s story is one of raw resilience, brutal honesty, and a relentless pursuit of purpose. From working in high-pressure kitchens to performing in front of two people on a Monday night, he’s pushed through the discomfort to find his voice on stage—without ever losing touch with his military roots. We dive into what it really takes to live outside your comfort zone—and how embracing discomfort is the key to growth. 💡 In this episode, we cover: 👉 The grind of making it in stand-up and why most people quit early 👉 The dark side of the hospitality world and walking away from being a chef 👉 Living outside your comfort zone and why it’s essential for growth 👉 The power of not caring what people think and backing yourself anyway 👉 Reconnecting with the veteran community and finding a renewed sense of purpose 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms! 📅 New episodes every week! 📢 Connect with Us: 🌐 Website: www.2worldscollide.com.au 📱 Instagram: www.instagram.com/2worldscollidepodcast 🐦 TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@2.worlds.collide.podcast 📱 X (Twitter): x.com/2worldsPodcast "Silence Protects.

From his first combat deployment to Iraq in 2005/06, to fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan as a Green Beret, and returning to Iraq to battle ISIS, Jeremiah has seen war in its rawest form.
