Comedian and former SAS Australia star, Merrick Watts, joins Ant for an insightful conversation this week. He reflects on his rise to radio stardom, the fracture of beloved duo Merrick and Rosso, and the 'epoch' moment that forced him to change the course of his life. Ant and Merrick reunite in the same Nova 96.9 studio that Merrick once broadcasted in each morning. A vastly different setting from their previous meeting as Staff and Number 10.

Someone (us) decided to let Merrick Watts back behind a microphone and if we're honest... we're so grateful! We chat to him about how he came up with the genius idea of combining comedy and alcohol to create The Grapes Of Mirth. Plus how he opened Harley's eyes to what man boobs and cleavage sweat are... I think y'all should be speaking to Nikki about this personally. And what it was like for Merrick performing comedy in to troops in Iraq.

They struck up a friendship and the rest, as they say, is history.Together Merrick and Rosso created their own unique style of comedy gig that was more like a band gig than the traditional ‘man and the mic’ stand up shows that were popular at the time.After the amazing success of their live shows they were approached to host Triple J breakfast and were then poached to be the launch breakfast show for new Sydney radio station, NOVA.Since parting ways Rosso has continued to work as a stand-up mixing his love of design with comedy in his Man About The House tours. He’s also a published author and host of the award-winning ABC TV series, Streets of Your Town.In this episode Rosso talks about how being in a band impacted the live Merrick and Rosso shows, the first time he saw his future comedy partner, Merrick Watts, perform, why Streets of Your Town is the project he’s most proud of and how he feels he’s changed.Episode show notes: https://rachelcorbett.com.au/ygss/rosso/About the host...My name is Rachel Corbett and I've spent almost two decades working in media professionally, creating and hosting radio shows and podcasts for Australia’s largest media organisations.
