From bedrotting to buying flowers at Pasar Seni, to why Gen Alpha takes 0.5x selfies and drafts each other’s breakup texts—we’re struggling to keep up. Also, the comedians spill the tea on their upcoming shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival!

We’re officially letting go of our hater pasts and entering our healing era! In this episode, we’re getting out of the city, touching some grass, and figuring out what berhealing actually means.

From our go-to ways to unwind to the things that (barely) keep us sane, we’re diving deep into how we rest, recover, and recharge.

Special thanks to MameeChef, Norreen, and Ceddy for joining us on what’s basically our mini mukbang.
