We stumbled onto something on Instagram we genuinely couldn't unsee: death feederism. It's an extreme subculture of the feederism kink where people are financially and emotionally encouraged to eat themselves toward severe health decline — sometimes death — for someone else's gratification.We break down exactly what it is, react to Caitlyn's own account of surviving the community after entering it at 500lbs and gaining her way to 600, and unpack the messier questions underneath: where does kink-shaming become justified, how is this different to other kinks involving pain or power play, and why do vulnerable people end up finding "community" in spaces that are actively hurting them (spoiler: it's basically cult psychology).We also get into body positivity vs. actual health, the algorithm rabbit holes that surface this content in the first place, and — because it's still us — a solid detour into weekend wine math.⚠️ This episode discusses disordered eating, coercive online communities, and suicidal ideation. If anything in this one hits close to home, Lifeline (13 11 14) and the Butterfly Foundation (1800 33 4673) are free, confidential, and available 24/7.CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro — What Is Death Feederism?0:44 Kink-Shaming 101: Is It Ever Okay?1:44 Wilko's Cursed Instagram Algorithm3:51 Meet Alicia: Body Positivity Done Right4:20 Caitlyn's Story: Surviving Death Feederism8:01 Unpacking the Community & Definition10:27 The Perth Model Who Fell Into It11:45 Empathy, Judgment & Body Image12:12 Body Positivity vs. Being Healthy14:01 The Official (Disturbing) Definition14:35 Mukbang, Fetish Eating & Where's the Line?15:53 Is Feeding Someone Morally Wrong?18:24 Comparing It to Other Kinks (BDSM, Pain Play)20:38 Why People Fall Into Communities Like This22:12 Wilko's Own Vices: Burgers & Weekend Wine25:34 Should Death Feederism Be Shut Down?26:35 Outro & Next Episode TeaseWilko & Courts is your twice-weekly deep dive into pop culture, reality TV and the internet's weirdest corners — new episodes every week.

Role Model told a podcast he wants a daughter, a surrogate, and zero involvement from the mum — and the internet decided he's either a red flag or a felon. WacaDoo's, we went and found the ACTUAL quote (because BuzzFeed sure as hell didn't give it to us straight), unpacked why Jake Shane said the exact same thing with zero backlash, and had a very heated debate about body counts, Barbies, and whether anyone's allowed to make a joke anymore. Grab a seat, this one gets spicy.Got thoughts on Role Model's parenting plan?

Something fell out of Robbie Williams during his World Cup final halftime interview, and the internet has thoughts. We're breaking down the footage frame by frame, weighing up the cocaine theory vs Robbie's own "it's just a mint" defence, and somehow ending up in a full tonsil stone deep dive that neither of us saw coming. We're also talking Chris Martin's universally panned halftime show, celebrity cameo overkill, and a Chad-shaped tangent about nightclub bathroom etiquette that got way more detailed than intended.

Kathy Griffin just pulled off one of the most chaotic celebrity marketing stunts of the year — and honestly? We're kind of obsessed. The 65-year-old comedian posted a photo hand-in-hand with a mystery 22-year-old man, captioned "he's 22," and let the internet lose its collective mind. Turns out it was a "social sociological experiment" (and a genius plug for her upcoming tour). We break down the reactions, the reveal, and why it kicked off a much bigger conversation — including Luke Wilson having his first baby at 54 with a 24-year-old, the Aaron Taylor-Johnson/Sam Taylor-Johnson relationship, and where we personally land on age-gap dating. Plus a genuinely unplanned detour into mental health, GP stigma in the 2010s, and Bobby's undying love for Hilary Duff.ATW, is there a "acceptable" age gap number, or is it all just vibes?

Australia's #1 song on radio right now might not even be real — and somehow George Michael is tangled up in it. ATW, we went down a Reddit rabbit hole about Josh Fawaz, the "DJ/producer" behind the viral cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" that's sitting at #1 on the ARIA airplay chart. Except the vocals sound suspiciously AI-generated, the credits are a mess, and one of the names attached to the track is Fadi Fawaz — yes, THAT Fadi Fawaz, George Michael's ex-boyfriend who found his body on Christmas Day 2016.We dig into the credits, the compression, the TikTok promo that doesn't add up, the music expert who called it out, and how Josh and Fadi are actually related. Is this AI music? Is it legal for it to count as an "Australian" track on radio? We have thoughts, Daddy has receipts, and we are not letting this one go.🔔 Subscribe for more pop culture deep dives every week💬 Comment below — do YOU think this is AI?Timestamps below ⬇️#JoshFawaz #AIMusic #LikeAPrayer #GeorgeMichael #FadiFawaz00:00 Australia's #1 song has a wild connection01:07 The Reddit post that started it all01:32 Meet Josh Fawaz — the "DJ" behind the cover02:23 The suspicious stereo track / no multitrack03:45 Josh Fawaz hits #1 on Australian radio05:03 Wait... why do we know the name "Fadi Fawaz"?06:51 Fadi credited as synth player AND producer07:21 Confirmed: Fadi and Josh are related (uncle/nephew)09:39 Who is Fadi Fawaz?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have officially had the pop culture royal wedding, so naturally, we had to discuss it, judge it, and possibly get attacked by Swifties in the comments.In this episode of Wilko & Courts, we unpack Taylor and Travis’ massive Madison Square Garden wedding, the celebrity guest list, the Swiftie conspiracy theories, the “just married” signage, the reported Adam Sandler officiating moment, Paul McCartney rumours, Karlie Kloss questions, Blake Lively speculation, and whether this whole thing was romantic, strategic, iconic… or just a tiny bit gauche.We also get into why Taylor Swift makes every tiny moment feel like an event, why the media can turn literally anything into a clickable headline, and why no one on earth is saying no to a Taylor Swift wedding invite.Was Madison Square Garden a genius security choice or the weirdest wedding venue imaginable? Were the guest list rumours real? Did Swifties decode too much, or did Taylor start this Easter egg madness herself?Let us know in the comments, sweet baby angels — and please be gentle. Or don’t.

The Beckham vs Peltz feud is back on our radar and this time it's Nicola Peltz throwing the pettiest, most feminine-energy shade we've seen yet.We recap the full timeline — the 2022 wedding dress drama, the missing 50th birthday appearances, the "I always choose you" Instagram post, the second wedding vow renewal, and Brooklyn's explosive January 2026 statement calling out his parents. Then we get into the actual reason you clicked: Nicola's brother Will Peltz just married Kenya Kinski-Jones (daughter of the late Quincy Jones), and Nicola's caption calling her "finally, officially" her dream sister has everyone convinced it's a shot fired directly at 14-year-old Harper Beckham, who Nicola used to call her "favourite girl" and "little sister" before the feud kicked off.Is it deliberate? We think so. Is it giving high school MSN byline energy? Also yes.

Karl Stefanovic is out at Channel Nine, and sweet baby angels… we need to talk about the absolute theatre of it all.In this episode of Wilko & Courts, we unpack Karl Stefanovic’s dramatic exit from the Today Show, his new podcast era, the Tommy Robinson interview fallout, the “cancelled” narrative, and that very emotional “I’m free” park bench video.Was Karl really silenced by mainstream media? Or was this a very convenient podcast pivot wrapped in free speech branding, Channel Nine drama, and a whole lot of grift energy?We also get into Karl’s history with the Today Show, Ubergate, his public image, controversial podcast guests including Pete Evans and Pauline Hanson, the role of advertisers and brand safety, and why you probably cannot take millions from mainstream media while also building a brand around trashing mainstream media.This is commentary, opinion and a bit of Australian media mess from Wilko & Courts.Subscribe for more pop culture, media drama, reality TV chaos and unserious deep dives with serious opinions.0:00 Karl Stefanovic’s “I’m free” era begins0:36 Who Karl Stefanovic actually is1:29 Ubergate, tabloid chaos and the Today Show fallout3:22 Channel Nine, contracts and being “brand safe”5:02 Radio paychecks and industry ego6:05 The Karl Stefanovic Show begins7:28 The Joe Bogan podcast pivot8:23 Pete Evans, Pauline Hanson and controversial guests10:27 Mainstream media money vs anti-mainstream media messaging14:30 How fringe-heavy is Karl’s podcast?15:37 Did Karl plan the media storm?16:17 Ben Roberts-Smith, Nine and biting the hand that feeds17:35 Covid, contracts and what you can say at work18:58 The Tommy Robinson interview fallout22:06 Who actually took the video down?23:13 Cancelled or contract consequences?26:46 Karl’s park bench video27:07 “So I’m free” gets the Wilko & Courts treatment28:19 The farewell message and the ego of it all29:05 Wiping tears with $100 bills30:17 Free speech or freedom from consequences?33:17 “I don’t know what I’m going to do”34:44 The ARN and Eddie McGuire problem36:43 You can’t be anti-mainstream while signing mainstream deals39:14 The Mad F***ing Witches explained40:10 Advertisers, brand safety and public pressure42:38 What working in media is actually like45:00 Final thoughts: was this all a performance?#KarlStefanovic #WilkoAndCourts #ChannelNine #AustralianMedia #Podcast
