  • From Sexist Bros to Santa: Luana Returns for a Very Unhinged Christmas

    Luana returns for a very unhinged Christmas morning episode, and nothing is off the table. We chat about sexist male podcasts, body positivity, and how our perspectives have shifted since her first appearance talking bad dates and self-worth.


    Between the laughs and reflections, things take a wholesome turn when Eva joins in to share her Christmas wishes with Santa — a moment that perfectly captures the magic, chaos, and warmth of the season. The perfect listen for Christmas morning in Australia 🎄

  • Respect Behind Bars | Am I Normal?

    What does respect really look like behind bars?

    In this episode, we talk about being accepted as a Muslim in prison and why listening, understanding, and basic respect matter more than people think. Our co-host Noor shares firsthand experiences from spending six months in prison, including what it’s like to hold onto your faith in a place that isn’t built for difference.

    We get real about missing Muslim religious holidays while everyone else celebrates Christmas — and yes, about receiving some truly crappy Christmas presents inside. It’s honest, sometimes funny, sometimes uncomfortable, and very human.

    We also dive into ADHD survival moments: finding tiny hits of dopamine wherever you can — even if that means using the little spoon just to get through the day.

    This episode is about faith, identity, ADHD, and respect — especially in places where respect isn’t guaranteed. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, overlooked, or judged, this one’s for you.

    🕊️ This episode is dedicated to the victims of the Bondi shootings, their families, and everyone affected. We honour their lives and stand for compassion, understanding, and respect.


    🎙️ Raw conversations.🧠 ADHD without filters.🤝 Respect where it matters most.

  • You Wouldn’t Host Of The Ogescars: Pat Clifton – 2025’s Most-Listened Episode

    Pat crashes the pod to talk all things mental health, rugby league, and why he absolutely refuses to use a normal indoor voice. We get (accidentally) deep about anxiety and therapy, then immediately undo all that emotional progress by letting Pat give his State of Origin predictions like he’s the footy version of Mystic Meg. And just when you think things couldn’t get more unhinged, we decide it’s finally time to find Will a boyfriend — and Pat insists on leading the search. (It goes exactly as well as you’d expect.)

    If you’re new to Pat & Will's You Wouldn’t, this is the perfect episode to realise what you’ve gotten yourself into: a podcast that’s part emotional support group, part sports commentary, and mostly just a long-winded cry for help disguised as entertainment. And if you’re a regular listener, you already know — this one’s got everything: trauma, footy, flirting, and Pat Clifton trying to co-host against his will.

    It’s a beautiful mess.
    It’s Pat-heavy.
    It’s very You Wouldn’t.

  • International Man Of Mystery: Merrylands Manager Darren

    This week on The Weekly Offload, I sit down with Darren, the manager of Merrylands — someone I’ve worked alongside for years, yet never really had the chance to dig into who he is behind the role.

    Darren is one of those people who finds it hard to talk about himself — humble, steady, and quietly hardworking. In our conversation, we explore why opening up doesn’t come naturally to him, how he sees people with “big personalities,” and whether he ever feels judged or overwhelmed by louder, more expressive characters (spoiler: he doesn’t).

    We also dive into what drives him: his strong work ethic, his task-oriented mindset, and the constant challenge of switching off when the workday ends.

    It’s a genuine, grounded chat with someone who usually keeps the spotlight far away from himself — and that’s exactly why this episode is special.

  • Body positivity: When Your Body Doesn't Feel Like Home

    In this heartfelt and wide-ranging conversation, I sit down with Kat—the traveller, and all-around luminous human—to explore the layers of identity, healing, and belonging that have shaped her journey.

    We talk candidly about eating disorders and the ongoing work of building a gentler, more compassionate relationship with our bodies. Kat shares how moving from Sydney to Bali completely shifted her perspective on wellness, community, and what it means to live intentionally.

    From there, we dive into what it’s like navigating life in France while carrying the cultural roots of Ukraine—how it feels to be an outsider, how war changes the way you hold home in your heart, and how you make space for both grief and growth while living abroad.

    Of course, we lighten it up too: dating stories, expat mishaps, and the very important question… does Kat really miss Bondiiiiii?

    It’s an honest, warm, and beautifully human episode about identity, resilience, and finding your place—wherever you land.

  • More Than a Game: Alfie Mafi on Identity, Pride & Pacific Beefs w/ Steven Setu

    In this powerful episode, former rugby star Alfie Mafi joins us to talk about what really divides — and unites — the worlds of rugby league and rugby union. But the chat goes deeper than sport. Alfie opens up about his beef with Steven Setu, what it means to represent your island roots, and the generational struggles Pacific athletes face when chasing dreams far from home.

    From growing up with the weight of family and culture to finding identity through the game, Alfie speaks from the heart about Tongan pride, representation, and the importance of playing for more than just a jersey. This one’s for anyone who knows that sport isn’t just a career — it’s a connection to who you are and where you come from.
