Dave Hughes Unplugged: Sober Laughs & Life Lessons | In Real Life Podcast #1 🎙️With Casey Bruton

🎙️ Welcome to the FIRST episode of the "In Real Life" social connection podcast!

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the brilliant and hilarious Dave Hughes (aka Hughesy) to dive into real-life topics, laugh-out-loud moments, and some unexpected adventures.

Having listened to Hughesy on TV and radio for years—and endlessly sharing his stand-up clips with friends—it was surreal to meet up in my old stomping ground and his hometown of St Kilda, Melbourne.

This chat is packed with laughs, wisdom, and plenty of surprises. Get ready for:
🌟 Laughter & life lessons
🌟 Life in Warrnambool & Perth (did you know he was Dux of his school?)
🌟 Sobriety, family, and Dave's devotion to stand-up comedy
🌟 Hilarious travel stories & luxury real estate tax stresses
🌟 The surprising saviour for his surf-injured shoulder (hint: marijuana gummies)
🌟 Mental health in the workplace, through the lens of comedy and connection
