In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean share their emotional reactions to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl Half Time show.

The pair chat about the cultural impact of the show, the symbolism contained within the performance, and how it delivered an emotional impact that rippled around the world. And of course they weigh in on Lady Gaga’s surprise appearance.

Sean explains how he has recently butted heads with drag superstars Bob The Drag Queen (about using harsh language to give feedback) and Trixie Mattel (in an open letter in which he asks her to reconsider keeping caged birds).

The pair also discuss the lasting effects of childhood trauma and explore the concept of limerence, the mental state of being overly infatuated with an individual and how this is often associated with abandonment issues from early years.

Enjoy the ride!

In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss pop culture highlights and political low points of the week.

The conversation starts with a celebration of pop legend Lady Gaga triumphing at the Grammy Awards with her rock infused performance, before morphing into a reflection on the Muppets and an assessment of the show’s return on Disney+.

As the episode was recorded the night prior to the 2026 Super Bowl, Josh and Sean consider the cultural and political impact of Bad Bunny headlining the half time show as well as reflect on the drama associated with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake.

The pair also discuss the recent horrifying details emerging from the released Epstein files and what it means for UK politics, particularly the downfall of Peter Mandelson and collateral damage for Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean complain, laugh, and then complain some more… especially about the cost of living in London.

The duo kick things off with a discussion on the tragic spiral of rap legend Nicki Minaj and her decision to align herself with right wing politics. They focus on her public appearances with Donald Trump and Erika Kirk.

This leads to an exploration of other celebrities who have slid into right wing rhetoric, including d-grade Australian personality Holly Valance who recently recorded a song in support of politician Pauline Hanson.

Iconic actor Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Beetlejuice, Home Alone) passed away this week so Josh and Sean spend time reflecting on her contributions to the pop culture landscape.

The episode ends with a dive into the astronomical increases in food prices which are making life in London unsustainable.

The pair chat about the rapid destruction of Earth through mass consumerism, rampant over-consumption, the lie of recycling, greenwashing, and the planned obsolescence of modern products. It’s terrifying!

The episode also finds time to celebrate and explore the legacy of pop culture megastar Dolly Parton. They discuss favourite memories as well as which Dolly songs will stand the test of time. Spoiler: all of them!

Sean finishes this week’s instalment by sharing news about the return of London Vegan Beer Fest, set to take place in the UK capital in September 2026.

The duo chat about what it really means to be one of 117 billion people ever born on Earth, why we collect personal belongings throughout our lives, and what lingers after we have gone. Will anyone remember us when we die? Will people know who Madonna is in 100 years from now? How do some people create a lasting legacy?

The episode also deals with the Stranger Things effect on the UK music charts. Legendary artists have recently shot to the top of the Top 40 after being featured in the hugely popular Netflix show including Kate Bush, Prince, Tiffany, and The Police.

In episode 75 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean catch up on personal updates before diving into the strange cultural phenomenon of Christmas music and why it often sounds so melancholy. They discuss Kylie Minogue’s latest festive release called XMAS, her enduring legacy, and the ongoing obsession with Christmas number one songs in the UK.

The conversation then shifts to more serious territory, including gun control in Australia following the Bondi attacks, the current political climate around free speech in the UK, and the troubling way victims are often sidelined in high profile cases like the Epstein files. Along the way, Josh and Sean discuss vegan news including new restaurants and Golden Gaytime ice creams. 

As ever, the chat is honest, thoughtful, funny, and unfiltered, moving comfortably between pop culture, politics, and personal experiences.

This week they chat about Sean’s recent experience at the Lady Gaga concert in Brisbane, Australia including the security mishaps and thwarted stage invader. The hosts then move on to complaining about the general cost of living in the modern world and ask “Why is everything a subscription?”.

There is also a BIG discussion on season 5 of Stranger Things, the retro-tinged, sci-fi smash hit from Netflix. Josh and Sean reflect on the show’s growth over the years, their likes and dislikes, and how the Lily Allen album West End Girl means they will never be able to look at David Harbour the same again.

Josh and Sean are back for another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), this time trying to tackle several big questions facing humanity. Are we past the point of no return when it comes to the natural world? How is capitalism and human exploitation connected to the degradation of the planet? Just a couple of lighthearted topics!

They also chat about the impact of drinking and addiction on mental health, sharing their own personal stories and varying experiences of dependency, and take a detour to discuss the sensational new film Homebound by filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan.

It’s not a laugh a minute in this episode but you can rely on the hosts to be somewhat irreverent, self-deprecating, and ill-informed in their usual way.
