Famous British comedian John Cleese decided to 'cancel' himself, by not appearing at a Cambridge speaking event out of protest of a debater who had been blacklisted. So we chat about cancelling yourself preemptively, whether we feel pressured to be visibly woke + more.

Also, Scomo reckons he's never told a lie! We chat about some of his recent non-truths, and why (sadly) lying is such an important part of modern politics + how we can keep dodgy politicians in check.

With the 8 tragic deaths at Travis Scott's Astroworld festival, we chat about what exactly happened, who's to blame and what it means for the music festival scene.

Also! With police finding the lost Cleo Smith in WA, we chat about Jesinta Franklin's comments that just as many resources should be put into the search for lost indigenous children. Does she have a point? Was it out of context? Or just bad timing?

We chat about a cricket controversy where a player at the T20 World Cup refused to take a knee. Has the gesture become dated? Or does it still have an impact? And do we need to do more?

Also, Alec Baldwin tragically killed colleague Halyna Hutchins on set of a movie - but he revealed his family have had threats against them, and that they have zero privacy. Is it fair game when it comes to journalism and finding the truth? We chat that + privacy concerns.

We've been out of lockdown for a few weeks but haven't found the tune that'll get us moving again, is Swedish House Mafia's latest track the one we're after?

We also chat about releases from Midnight Pool Party, parcels, KYE and Jerome Farah. Plus learn about the very watchable Morning Wars on Apple TV and a Ted Talk by The Bachelorette's Brooke Blurton.

Brooke Blurton is back as Australia's first indigenous and openly bi-sexual Bachelorette. We chat about why it's a big moment for diversity and representation on screen.

Also, the always controversial Dave Chappelle is back with a final Netflix comedy special. But his latest stand up, while popular, hasn't struck a chord with everyone. We chat about his opinion on trans people, modern comedy and if he missed the mark.
