George Hill and Miraculous Dave (Tayden Turner) - Ep 28

·24 min·1 clip

Dave says a beer in his hand turns into red wine, and he has not had a lager for four years.

1. Friend of a Friend's City centers on George Hill and Miraculous Dave, with Heather Hayden steering the conversation around Dave's wine-changing powers. 2. George is the friend of the guest, Dave is the friend of George, and Heather Hayden is the host who keeps asking how the claims work. 3. The episode asks what happens when a Brisbane improv guest insists beer becomes red wine, then treats it like an ordinary inconvenience. 4. Dave says the whole problem began when he was out drinking and touched a beer that turned straight into wine. 5. He says he has not had a lager for four years and has tried to drink one since without success. 6. Dave expands the claim to water, apple juice, Kool-Aid, and basically any liquid turning into wine. 7. George says Dave has a cult following on Reddit under the name “Jesus Dave,” with about 10 people in the subreddit. 8. Heather and George keep comparing the powers to Jesus language, while Dave shrugs off the comparison and calls it nothing special. 9. George describes a scuba-diving trip to the Great Barrier Reef where Dave could not get under the water and instead floated on top. 10. Another diving attempt ended with Dave being taken to hospital and pronounced dead in the ambulance before coming back three days later. 11. Dave says he went back into the womb about four years earlier after calling Mara, and that the pregnancy lasted nine months. 12. George says he visited and saw a large baby, while Dave says he emerged with extra gifts and later spent the money on beer. 13. Dave identifies frankincense as one of the gifts, and Heather jokes about it while Dave says lighting it helped him find out he could be resurrected. 14. George and Dave also describe seeing a rhino in Mount Gravatt Park, which George says he did not see at all. 15. Dave says he constantly hears voices when he lights up and has done so for 25 years, but he has never gone to a doctor about it. 16. George says Dave has died many times since gaining the powers and uses them to heal broken teeth and survive fistfights. 17. The tone is loose, conversational, and very improvised, with Heather repeatedly trying to pin down details. 18. The format stays interview-driven, but the guests keep inventing and escalating the story in short comic bursts. 19. Best for listeners who like absurd pub-chat and religious parody. 20. Skip if you want a structured interview or grounded discussion.

As heard by us

A pub gripe blooms into straight-faced nonsense.

George and Dave turn a pub gripe into straight-faced nonsense: beer becomes wine, a second birth arrives with powers, and everyday life admin keeps getting treated like urgent business. Heather Hayden fits the material well.
