Episodes

Shag, Marry, Date: Albo, Taylor Swift & Frank the Chihuahua 09.07.2026

Liz is back, and we are diving straight into Anthony Albanese’s absolute comms disaster of a podcast interview. Was Albo’s rapid-fire game about Kylie Minogue harmless fun, or completely unbefitting of a Prime Minister? Then, we shift to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s obscene Madison Square Garden wedding extravaganza, and we judge every single tacky detail. Plus: Caleb calls fo...

2GB’s Ben Fordham on Nine’s Big Karl Mistake 01.07.2026

Ben Fordham steps in to guest host Unserious and we get stuck into Karl Stefanovic leaving the Today Show - was the podcast pushing the envelope, or was Nine just done paying up? Mary shares what Karl told her behind the scenes; Ben weighs in on going solo (and the real costs). Then we spiral into ex etiquette after Mary’s tradie ex sends unhinged voice memos and even baby ultrasound updates...

Hughesy, it's Giving Cringe 24.06.2026

Dave Hughes has gone scorched earth on the government's tax reforms - and we have thoughts. Caleb drops $500 on a dead man’s hats, we ask whether successful women are undateable, the Logies: does anyone actually care? Plus, Mary's very questionable prison bucket-list item.

The Reality of Being a Woman on the Internet 17.06.2026

The internet is a completely different place depending on who you are. In this ep, things get incredibly real when the team looks at the activity in the comment section.  While Caleb proudly admits to starting fights and treating internet trolls like a fun "two-way game" of audience interaction, Mary and Liz reveal a much darker reality. From horrific emails to comments that beat down yo...

Why Our Birth Rate Is In Its Flop Era 10.06.2026

Having a baby in this economy? With Australia's population hitting 28 million but fertility rates at an all-time low, we dive into the heavy reality of daycare subsidies and why a generation is opting out of parenting.

Is Your Partner 'Alpha' Enough? (And Why University Is A Corporate Scam) 04.06.2026

What happens if your boyfriend isn't 'alpha' enough to be your emergency contact? And what do you do when the police start texting? In our most chaotic episode yet, Mary explains how she casually blocked the literal police during a friend's medical emergency. The team also dives into why universities have become predatory cash grabs, why Caleb wants to hand his entire life over to his property man...

Is Your Boss Weaponising Your Instagram? 28.05.2026

Workplace boundaries might be cooked. This week, Liz admits to weaponising her Instagram follow as a reward system for staff, while Mary reveals the "thirst traps" she had to delete once her frontal lobe - and her career-developed. From the mortifying fallout of an all-caps "babe" email to Kyle Sandilands’ $100M contract explosion, we’re unpacking the mess of modern corporate vibes. We...

Hard Work Won't Buy You a House Anymore 22.05.2026

The Australian dream is officially in its flop era, and Albo’s budget hasn't fixed the vibes. Mary comes out as a "property nepo baby," admitting an inheritance was her only way onto the ladder, while Liz and Caleb weigh in on whether the Bank of Mum and Dad is a fair expectation. From Caleb’s "closet environmentalism" to the cost of living forcing couples to move in together after thr...
