Episode 43 of the Podcast is pure no thoughts head empty energy. We start with me getting publicly dragged into the shame corner for slandering Brock's choppy yet clocky comfort show. Pivot to Spider-Man and Doomsday theories, Sadie Sink MCU casting drama, and whether the multiverse era is cooked or about to serve.

Then I casually mention something absolutely WILD about my childhood that involves aliens, mysterious marks, and my mum's conspiracy theories. We spiral into whether extraterrestrial girlies are real, if they're living among us giving Men in Black realness, and a theory about why we haven't met them yet that honestly? Kinda ate.

Brock and I have beef about whether gaming is a real hobby (he won, I'm mad), I declare Kanto region is absolute trash and will probably get jumped by Pokémon gays, and we get nostalgic about DS games that shaped us (Simpsons Hit and Run? Cultural reset).

No structure. No plan. Just two besties yapping about Marvel, space conspiracies, childhood core memories, and whatever else popped into our heads. It's giving podcast. It's giving chaos. It's giving exactly what you came here for.

🎬 MCU discourse but make it fruit

👽 The alien story that needs to be heard to be believed

🎮 Gaming takes + Kanto slander (sorry not sorry)

🧠 Space theory that's lowkey existential crisis fuelFruity. Chaotic. Unserious. Press play babe.🔍

Sitting down with Lisa No License, the lesbian jester and Brisbane drag/ burlesque ICON, Translink's worst nightmare, and a bad b!tch with an unhinged employment history.

This girl has done EVERYTHING. Stage rigger? Check. Film industry? Purr. Stripper? girl YES. Stripper... manager? babe come on now.And why she got fired from Fishbowl after ONE DAY, girl we get ALL the tea.

Lisa spills on their drag journey, what it's like doing drag in Brisbane when you're broke as fck, how to serve mall drag LOOKS on a BUDGET, and what actually makes drag feel authentic.

This episode is a YAPPATHON. We could not shut it, yappa yappa yappa and honestly? We shouldn't have to. Lisa is a total KIKI. With her thousand lives lived and zero fcks given this is a pure chaotic queen out. This is fierce cvnty sheila shenanigans from start to finish and we are OBSESSED.

We're talking about our dreams!

In Episode 41, Brock and I finally sit down and talk about where we actually see ourselves going. The dreams we have, the films I want to direct, the roles Brock wants to play, where we'll be in a year, two years, five years, when we're dead.

I talk about the kind of director I want to be, the stories I need to tell, the films that live in my head rent free sis. Brock talks about the acting he wants to do, the characters he's obsessed with playing, the kind of career he's building.

We get into what success actually means to us, whether we're being realistic or just like, aggressively delusional, and why we refuse to settle for boring lives.

This episode is for anyone who has dreams they're too scared to say out loud. Anyone who looks at their life and knows there's more. Anyone manifesting a future that feels impossible but also… inevitable? We're not being humble about this. We know what we want and we're gonna get it.

🎬 Directing dreams: the films, the fear, the vision

💅 Acting dreams: roles, characters, career goals

🧠 1 year, 5 years, end of life - where we're going

✨ Delusion? Maybe. But we're right though.

Episode 40. We made it. And we're coming for the robots.To celebrate our 40th episode, we invited Tom Wilson — singer-songwriter, artist, long-time collaborator, and living proof that real human creativity will always beat whatever the fuck AI is trying to do. This episode could have been about Tom's music, their songwriting, and their time at an LA retreat with legends who've written for Whitney Houston, Jessie J, Tina Turner, and Britney Spears.But obviously being drama queens it had to became something bigger: a manifesto against artificial intelligence in art.We go OFF about AI in music, AI in art, why algorithms will never replace human mess and chaos, and why the imperfect, unhinged, drunk-vomit-covered reality of being an artist is exactly what makes it sacred. Tom talks about their creative process, what it means to write songs that actually mean something, and why you can't replicate human experience with a f*cking robot.This episode is divas against AI despite the many captions I've used Ai to make. This episode is messy, human, iconique, chaotic, and everything a computer could never fucking replicate.🎤 Tom Wilson on REAL songwriting, human creativity & fuck AI🤖 Divas declare war on artificial intelligence in art🍷 Controversial take: vomiting is part of the drunk makeout💅 Why chaos, mess & humanity is better than algorithmsTHE Episode 40.

In Episode 39 of Okay Diva, Sam shows up wine drunk in a blonde wig doing a British accent for no reason, and Brock just... rides the storm like the professional diva he is. We were SUPPOSED to talk about dream weddings. We did not talk about dream weddings.Instead: cat piss carpet trauma, Sam's running (fitness icon era), going full Karen on an insurance company, what inanimate object's we are (the verdict: unclear), Frozen trauma, the psychological breakdown of hate comments in our new Diva Takes segment (Sam went FULL sociologist for 10 minutes), Lizzie McAlpine going Broadway, and Lana Del Rey entering her romantic married poet era with her alligator hunter husband.This episode is structureless fuckassery. It's accents we can't commit to, and tangents that lead nowhere. It's a reset. It's chaos. It's perfect.🍷 Sam: wine drunk, wigged up, British (sometimes American, sometimes ???)💅 Pure unfiltered chaos with zero editorial oversight🧠 Surprise deep dive: hate comments & societal regression (Diva Takes)🎵 Divas of the Week: Lizzie McAlpine & Lana Del ReyWe'll talk about weddings next episode.

Welcome back divas! This week takes a WILD turn as Sam discovers he's accidentally ended up on Epstein conspiracy Twitter—and the algorithm thinks we're full-blown conspiracists now. We spiral through whether we're being propagandized, how support groups for government victims are liking our tweets, and what it means when you tweet "feeling so 2109" and conspiracy theorists think you're one of them.Then we pivot to the REAL question: which apocalypses would we actually survive? We rank everything from zombie outbreaks (Walking Dead vs 28 Days Later vs Last of Us) to nuclear holocaust, natural disasters, and fungal infections. Are zombies supernatural or just infected? Would we survive flooding? Who's getting bitten first? We break down survival strategies, debate whether The Walking Dead counts as a supernatural show, and reveal who's actually making it through the end times.It's conspiracy theories, apocalypse survival rankings, and complete chaos. Exactly what you signed up for.FOLLOW US:Instagram: @okaydivapodcastTikTok: @okaydivapodcast0:00 Intro: Pink Pillow Size Wars1:00 Sam's Diva Moment: Bus Stop Fashion Defender7:31 Brock's Diva Moment: Rest & Relaxation Era10:59 The Epstein Twitter Spiral Begins20:11 Conspiracy Twitter Likes Our Tweets?!21:57 Horror Movie Tangent: Primate & End Times23:00 APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL RANKINGS28:13 Nuclear Holocaust vs Yellowstone Eruption31:26 Zombie Movie Debate (Are They Supernatural?)41:25 Divas of the Week Reveal48:14 Chappell Roan Concert Hype & Wrap Up

We survived Laneway. Barely. Iconically.In Episode 37 of Okay Diva, Brock and I debrief from St. Jerome's Laneway Festival on the Gold Coast, QLD — our Chappell Roan live experience (life-changing, tears were shed, we're different people now), festival culture as a concept, and what it's like being total divas in mosh pits (chaotic, necessary, spiritually correct).We break down Laneway Festival 2026, discuss whether music festivals are still worth the price of admission, dirt, and dehydration, and give our full Chappell Roan concert review (spoiler: she's everything, actually). We also get into festival etiquette, mosh pit politics, surviving crowds when you're built for VIP, and whether festivals are cultural touchstones or just expensive sweaty group therapy.This episode is for Chappell Roan fans, festival lovers, Laneway attendees, anyone who's ever been elbowed in a mosh pit and thought "this b*tch," and anyone wondering if live music still hits different. Spoiler: it does. Especially when you're a diva about it.🎪 Laneway Festival 2026 full review💅 Chappell Roan live: the experience, the tears, the transformation🎭 Festival culture deep dive: worth it or a scam?🧠 Mosh pit diva behaviour (a survival guide)

Reality TV doesn't know what's coming. But it should be scared.

In Episode 36 of Okay Diva, Brock and I sit down to discuss the inevitable: our complete domination of reality television. We break down our Traitors strategy (unhinged, genius, would absolutely work), explain exactly how we'd devour RuPaul's Drag Race (runway? eaten. confessionals? iconic. challenge wins? excessive), and detail the unstoppable diva force we'd bring to literally any screen.

We also dissect Masterchef, The Biggest Loser, and the reality TV industrial complex at large — asking the hard questions: Is there a bigger moral fable behind these shows? Are they social experiments or just chaos for profit? What do reality TV competitions say about society, ambition, and the human condition? (And also, would we win?)

This episode is for reality TV obsessives, anyone who's ever screamed at The Traitors, Drag Race fans, competition show lovers, and anyone who's ever thought "I could do that better." Spoiler: we could.

📺 Our Traitors strategy (it's giving mastermind)💅 Drag Race domination blueprint (we'd eat, obviously)🎭 Reality TV philosophy: morality tales or capitalist nightmares?🧠 What competition shows say about all of us (it's bleak but camp)

We're not saying we'd win every reality show we touched. We're just saying production would want us to win. There's a difference.

Cast us or don't. Either way, this episode is television.

History was made. Okay Diva finally has a guest!In Episode 35, we welcome our first guest ever — the legendary Bridie Shield (@the.divadiaries / @bridieshield), radio host at 4ZZZ's The Hot Spot (@thehotspot4zzz), diva hunter, and absolute champion of Australian music and local artists.Bridie is the creative force behind the viral "Who Is This Diva?" series — tracking down Brisbane's most stylish, fascinating people and getting them to spill on their best outfits, favourite music, and creative processes.

2016 is back. Whether you're ready or not.

In Episode 34 of Okay Diva, Brock and I dive deep into 2016 nostalgia — unpacking what 2016 actually was, what it meant culturally, and why the internet is suddenly obsessed with it again. Was 2016 really the golden year everyone claims? Or are we romanticising chaos? Is 2026 the new 2016? We investigate.

We talk 2016 pop culture, 2016 music, 2016 aesthetics, the internet in 2016, and — most importantly — who we were back then. What were we doing? What were we listening to? What were we wearing? (The answers are humbling.)

This episode is for anyone caught in the 2016 core renaissance, anyone asking "why does 2026 feel like 2016," or anyone who just wants to relive the year Lemonade dropped, Harambe became a meme, and the world felt like it was ending but also… kind of iconic?

We compare 2016 vs 2026, break down the culture, question the mythology, and wonder if we're doomed to repeat it. Spoiler: we might be. And honestly? We're kind of into it.
