Ever wondered what it’s like to wake up surrounded by trophies and the lingering scent of Cristiano Ronaldo’s sweat? Gen has, and frankly, she’s never felt more like a semi-professional athlete.

But the high-performance vibes hit a wall when we ventured into the wild world of line dancing. Expecting cowboys and flirtations, we instead found a sea of mullets, armpit hair, and a hosting couple that looked so much like twins it was awkward...

Also in this episode:

• Gen is back in high school and reverts to a suck-up Year 7 student, realizing her Vice Captain title might have been less about merit and more about being up and about.

• One of us is officially a paid actor. Get the behind-the-scenes tea on acting in a denim jacket during a 37°C heatwave, sweating off labels, and the physical toll of professional couch-pivoting.

• Why hanging out with teachers at a school function is the adult equivalent of eating lunch in the toilets.
