The Friend Request

This week, Chloe Maddren sits down with her original best friend — her mum, Cordelia Vecchio — for a deeply honest, often hilarious chat about childhood, family, and identity.

Together they get stuck into a mysterious incident at their recent family reunion, Chloe admits to a long-held childhood secret, and Cordelia tells us what it really feels like to watch your child struggle to make friends. With sleepover games, unexpected truths, and a few emotional bombshells, it’s a conversation that’s equal parts silly and sincere.

Comedian Chloe Maddren is joined by Becky Lucas (who just opened for Nikki Glaser!) for a wild ride of an episode. They discuss breastfeeding (each other?!), why Becky now hates her cats, play ridiculous sleepover games, and accidentally get a little too earnest before ruining it all with fake tits jokes.

This episode has it all: bisexual school trauma, cosmetic procedure panic, and the unexpected chaos of having a hot gyno.

I’m joined by the wildly talented, hilarious Nina Oyama from Deadloch, Taskmaster, Thank God You're Here and every other Aussie TV comedy! We unpack whether or not we’re getting filler, what it was like being super queer in an all-girls school that wasn’t exactly chill about it, and the extremely uncomfortable experience of trying to keep eye contact during a pelvic exam.

Also: I make a very dramatic confession about something I’ve never admitted publicly before. Spoiler alert… it’s about hair. And yes — there’s also some foot content. Unintentional, but appreciated by a very specific demographic...

Hey y'all!!

I'm so sorry I've been bad with the episodes!! I think most of you know I do all the editing and what not myself which I looove to do, but it takes some tiiiime y'all!! Anywho, with some technical difficulties/ delays and way too much on, I just cannot get it done for you this week!! 

I've got some verrrry fun eps coming up over the next month or so as we get closer to the hundredth!! BUT in the meantime, if you're looking for a good listen, not that it's at all like this show, I have a podcast to recommend! I listened to it earlier today and thought it was a very interesting and important conversation articulated brilliantly. Check out this episode of KICPOD w/ Dr Zac Seidler!

See ya next week!

I had a real mum on the podcast… and spent most of it comparing her kids to my cat.

Comedian, writer, star of The Roast, Thank God You're Here and SBS The Feed Alex Lee joins me to talk about how parenting changes your algorithm, the great sleepover debate, and why Bluey might be more for adults than kids. We also unpack fear-based parenting trends, controversial opinions, and yes—I try to convince her that having a dog is the same as having a child. (It goes about as well as you'd expect.)

This week on The Friend Request, comedian David Correos joins me to talk Instagram etiquette, food hyperfixations, and why he likes wearing wet clothes. Plus: the hilarious moment he realized we’d met a year ago—and had no memory of it. Chaos (and laughter) ensues.
