Episode 22 : Shit Happens.

“G’day legends, Buzz here with another kidney-fuelled yarn. And today we’re going straight to the bottom of the barrel… literally.
So, the nurses handed me this thing called the Bristol Stool Chart. Yeah, you can’t make this stuff up. It’s basically a grading system for your turds — turns out even your poo needs a performance review these days.
Now when you’re on PD, keeping the plumbing moving is critical. And according to the chart, the gold medal stool is a nice, smooth sausage — Type 4. That’s the Michael Jordan of bowel movements. The GOAT.
Anything else and you’re in trouble: • Type 1? Rabbit droppings. Mate, you’re not a bunny. Eat a pear. • Type 7? Brown tsunami. You’re not winning medals, you’re evacuating a disaster zone. • Type 6? That’s the curry-and-beer special. You know the one.
Here’s the lesson: shit happens.Literally. But in life too. Some days you’re dropping gold medal sausages, other days it’s chaos. The trick is to laugh, flush, and keep moving.
So if you’re stuck, stressed, or struggling — remember: it’s all part of the cycle. Some days are messy, some are hard to pass, but eventually, you hit that smooth stride.
This is Buzz with Kidney Capers — reminding you that health isn’t about being perfect… it’s about rolling with the punches. Or in this case… the plops. 💩🤣

🎙 Episode 21: Putting Your Foot Into It — The Art of Being Disliked

“Ever been told you’ve put your foot into it? 👣Mate, I’ve made a bloody career out of it. Some people collect stamps, I collect awkward silences.
And here’s the funny thing: half the time, people think you’ve stuffed up. But really… you’ve just said what everyone else was too chicken to say.
It’s like the elephant in the room. Everyone’s patting it, feeding it peanuts, pretending it’s not there… and then you walk in and go: ‘Holy shit, there’s a bloody elephant in here!’ Suddenly you’re the problem.
I’ve done it in footy change rooms, boardrooms, and even hospital wards. First time I sat in dialysis, I looked around and said: ‘Well, this isn’t the Bali holiday I booked.’ Nurses didn’t know whether to laugh or call security. But the patients cracked up — tension gone. Honesty frees people.

Episode 16 , That was August , Buzz and Gypsie have a Quick yarn about anything .

Episode 15 . What if or Why not ?

I’m on my second day of PD training — and I’ll tell you what, the nurses I’ve had this week, absolute legends. Angels in scrubs. They’ve kept me alive, kept me laughing, and they’ve helped me see something I didn’t expect — freedom.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m still hooked up to machines at night, still fighting the big fight, but for the first time in 12 weeks I can see a bit of my life coming back. Days free again. That’s a win.
But here’s the thought that’s been chewing me up: the ‘What If’ trap.The older you get, the heavier those two words become. • What if I’d taken better care of my kidneys years ago? • What if I’d gone harder in footy when I had the chance? • What if I’d told that person what they meant to me?
When you’re young, ‘what if’ feels like a game. Options everywhere. But as the years roll on, those missed chances pile up like weights in your backpack. And suddenly, instead of fuelling you, the ‘what if’ starts chewing you up.
So today’s big question is this: How do we stop living in ‘what if’ and start asking ‘what’s next’?
Stick around, because by the end of this 45 minutes, I want you to walk away lighter — ready to flip the script. Let’s go.”
