In this episode of Scundered with Teresa Livingstone, Alan Irwin returns with a catalogue of social disasters. 

This week includes: 

Crashing a car while learning to drive (and shutting down a town)

Accidentally confessing feelings to someone who had no idea

Why protests, marches, and “just showing support” can go very wrong

The stress of games, quizzes, juries, and needing to be right

Beard trims, baldness, tequila, and regrettable confidence

If you enjoy comedy that spirals slowly into discomfort — this one is for you.

In this episode of Scundered with Teresa Livingstone, Diona opens up about the guilt of “doing everything”, why women struggle to own their success, and the reality of parenting that social media edits out. From chaotic family holidays and online pile-ons, to travel disasters, auditions gone wrong, and Valentine’s Days that spiralled wildly off course.

It’s funny, sharp, and disarmingly honest — the kind of conversation Diona’s audience already recognises: say the thing you’re not supposed to say, then stand over it.

Embarrassing Yourself by Being Too Nice  Lianne McCooey

Being awkward is one thing.
Being too thoughtful is a whole different level of embarrassment.

In this episode of Scundered with Teresa Livingstone, returning guest Lianne McCooey joins Teresa to unpack the very specific cringe of trying too hard to be sound — from funerals gone wrong, to neighbours who definitely think you’re unhinged, to gifting things that should never be personalised.

It’s a chaotic, honest, and painfully relatable conversation about social anxiety, politeness gone feral, gym embarrassment, fart panic, and the moments you replay in your head years later while staring at the ceiling.

In this episode:

Turning up to a funeral dressed completely wrong

When “bringing food round” goes way too far

Why engraved gifts are never a good idea

Gym classes, kettlebells, and catastrophic timing

Fart anxiety, marathon trauma, and public shame

The fine line between being thoughtful and being terrifying

If you’ve ever walked away from an interaction thinking “why did I say that?” — this one’s for you.
