Female OnlyFans creators have rocked up at Schoolies in search of new talent to "collab" with. Is there something overtly icky about the whole situation? We have thoughts.

Plus, can’t we just let parents send their children to daycare without shaming them? We unpack the opinion piece setting off group chats around the country.

And, do you have a “third place” in your life? Hopefully, it’s not a place called the internet.

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest subscriber episode: The Peaks You Reach Over 40
• Read: The female porn stars heading to Schoolies for content.

RECOMMENDATION: Jessie wants you to check out the Skylight Frame

Two senior royals have been named as alleged ‘racists’ in the Dutch copy of Omid Scobie’s new biography, Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival. We unpack how it all happened (apparently by accident) and whether or not we should even reveal the royals in question.

The names of 60 women were read out in parliament this week, all were killed by men in their lives this year. We discuss the horrifying reality of domestic violence in Australia and what it will take to finally change it.

And, Holly, Mia, and Jessie wrap up the week with their best and worst moments, which included an office flashing incident, leaky breast milk, and Trinny and Mia’s uncomfortable conversation.

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: The Peaks You Reach Over 40
• Read: Imagine if 68 Australian men had been murdered at the hands of women this year.
• Read: Omid Scobie denies naming the royals in his book. The Dutch translator says otherwise.
• Listen to Mia's No Filter: Trinny Woodall Is In Her Naked-On-A-Horse Era
• Donate to RizeUp

One woman has gone viral for listing all the reasons why she doesn’t want to have kids (including vaginal changes, swelling and general noise), but looking at the list do we blame her?

Plus, one brand is allegedly air-brushing stretchmarks ON to their models now. Is this progress or just cynical marketing?

And, consent at hens and bucks parties… we unpack one very tricky dilemma.

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: A Candid Debrief About The Crown
• Read: 'I shared a list of 117 reasons I don't want children. The response reiterated my point.'
• If you want your dilemma answered on the show or in Holly's Don't Freak Out column, send us an email at [email protected]

Are you hearing the term “both-sidesism”? We dive into what it is and why senior Australian media figures have called it out.

Plus, Brad Pitt’s kids think he’s an “awful human being” and Holly can’t believe it. But celebrity kids airing their family drama isn’t exactly new... are we sensing a pattern?

And, have we given dating apps the boot? Swiping non-stop feels like a part-time gig for Gen Z, but how are other generations feeling about looking for love online?

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest subscriber episode: Mia Needs An Intervention
• Read: Brad Pitt's children have shared their feelings about their famous father and none of it is positive.
• Read: Being on dating apps is a bin fire. Here are the most unhinged messages we've ever received.

RECOMMENDATION: Holly wants you to watch Robbie Williams on Netflix

We need to talk about season 6 of The Crown. Holly’s been shouting at the TV, while Mia’s obsessing over the Princess Diana plot line, and Jessie? Well, she couldn’t care less.

Plus, comedian Matt Rife has decided he doesn’t want women in his audiences anymore. So he’s told an offensive joke to repel them all. We discuss.

And, we wrap up our best and worst of the which, which includes; some rules around sleep, a new hair do and a very sad story about birds.

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: Mia Needs An Intervention
• Read: Comedian Matt Rife is being slammed for a sexist joke. What he actually did is much worse.
• Read: Gen Z's favourite comedian thinks being hot is hurting his career.

RECOMMENDATION: Mia wants you to check out Trapple

The largest Australian radio deal of all time has just been announced, locking in another 10 years for Kyle & Jackie O for a huge sum. They certainly weren’t shy about revealing their earnings this time around, but is this transparency refreshing or problematic?

Plus, ethical non-monogamy is everywhere. But what is it and is it actually ‘ethical’? We discuss.

And, would Clare and Jessie Stephens like us to stop referring to them as “the twins”? Turns out Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are sick of it and would like us all to recognise that they are, in fact, two separate entities.

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: Jessie’s Ready To Revisit 'As A Mother'
• Listen to Mia's No Filter with Jackie O: Jackie O On What She Wishes She'd Known About Divorce
• Read: Kyle Sandilands, Jackie O and the biggest deal in radio history.
• Read: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen just explained why they almost never do interviews.

RECOMMENDATION: Jessie wants you to try the MCoBeauty Sheer Tint Lip Balm

Harry Styles might be balding and Justin Timberlake is definitely dad-dancing. Has ageism finally come for the famous men? Part of Holly thinks it’s about damn time.

Plus, the ‘What About Me’ effect. Why do we expect everything we see on the internet to be perfectly tailored to us and should we just get over ourselves?

And, is scheduling a weekend brunch something to look forward to? Or does it disturb the flow of our once-loved slow weekends? 

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: Okay Fine. We'll Tell You Our Ghost Stories
• Read Laura Brodnik's piece: 'Brunch is ruining my entire life, and probably yours too.'
• Read: The theory behind Harry Styles' new buzz cut.

There are two types of people: A) the person who invites everyone to everything and B) the person who wants a strict guest list when hosting an event. Which one are you?

Plus, did that vase just move on its own? After listening to an eerie podcast about ghosts, Holly, Jessie and Elfy share their own spooky stories.

And, we wrap up our best and worst of the week which includes… the world, brilliant women and an unsponsored discussion about Jessie's favourite new place to shop.

The End Bits:

It’s been three weeks since Matthew Perry died, and all of the predictions he made in his memoir have reigned true. We discuss if the private lives of celebrities are no longer private after they’re gone.

Plus, we delve into the fig tree analogy, which explores all the different branches of life, and ask the question: If I follow one path, am I giving up on the other?

And, do you need a university degree to be able to give an opinion? The Gen Z TikTokers say yes, and US influencer Emma Chamberlain is their current target. 

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: “Are You That Pathetic?" The Hens' Party Test Holly Failed
• Read: Matthew Perry knew exactly what would happen after his death.
• Read: The fig tree analogy is the reason you’re not satisfied with your life.
• Read: I’ve had enough of Sad Bad Girl novels and sensationalised trauma – but I’m hungry for complex stories about women.

RECOMMENDATION: Elfy wants you to watch Jane The Virgin on Stan

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were filmed kissing next to a portaloo at her latest Eras Tour show, and like Mia, the Swifties are obsessed with this relationship. But is their honeymoon phase way too public?

Plus, do you actually feel like a grown up? Or more like an imposter who belongs at the kids table? We unpack why so many adults feel this way.

And, is Patrick Dempsey the Sexiest Man Alive or just the last man left standing? We have a convincing conspiracy theory that McDreamy was not the first man to be considered for the title.

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest subscriber episode: A Very Heated Gwyneth Argument
• Read: There’s a compelling conspiracy theory about how Patrick Dempsey won Sexiest Man Of The Year.
