She came from a small mining town with big dreams, a stubborn streak, and a whole lot of anger to burn. Desley "The Destroyer" Robinson was told girls don't box — so naturally, she went and became a two-time IBF/WBO World Middleweight Champion.

In this episode, Neil sits down with Desley for a full-circle conversation that covers everything: growing up in Moranbah chasing athletics dreams she couldn't afford to follow, sparring full-grown men at 14, fighting for a world title on a fractured foot and what it actually felt like to win the belt she'd spent a lifetime earning. She also opens up about life after the title — signing with Jake Paul's MVP Promotions, fighting in America, and learning to finally enjoy it all.

In this episode, Neil sits down with Bondi Brat, the social media personality and OnlyFans creator known for her sharp humour and even sharper commentary on the adult industry. What starts as a chat about content creation quickly becomes something far deeper.

Bondi Brat opens up about growing up in Melbourne's southeastern suburbs, dropping out of school, getting kicked out of home as a teenager and finding her footing in the world of nightclubs and adult entertainment.

But underneath the bravado is a story of real survival. She speaks candidly about her addiction to ice, a violent relationship that nearly broke her, and the long road to getting clean.

Neil sits down face-to-face with Russell Small — the Brighton-born DJ and producer whose fingerprints are all over some of dance music's biggest moments. From growing up with undiagnosed ADHD to Grammy nominations and co-producing tracks that hit number one in 19 countries (including a little something for Beyoncé), Russell's story is as raw as it is remarkable.

In this one, they get into it all: the chaos of lockdown revealing a lifetime of wiring he never knew he had, the hyper-focus that fuels his creativity and the numbness that came with the pills he chose to leave behind, the parties at his Brighton house that carried on even when he wasn't there and the career highs that cost him his marriage and years with his son.
