In this episode we talk all things The Challenge and really get an inside look at how Brooke viewed her time on the show. We also had to deal with some casual racism and homophobia this week, and let's just say, we were questioning what year it was! Is it really 2022?

We take a look at our social media addictions and learn all about Brooke's TikTok crushes and what she has been looking at on social media - a parasite cleanse? What is THAT? Also, is Matty a Lizard Person? We learn about lizards that are apparently roaming around in suits... yeah, we have no idea either but ask Matty, he know about it! Brooke is so innocent, she thought a cow lick was something completely different from what it actually is and Matty is not so innocent, he had surgery all because he told a lie - WILD!

This episode discusses violence, murder, and the death of a young boy. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners should know we will be using his name throughout the episode. If this raises any issues please reach out to the resources listed below.  The death of 15-year-old Cassius Turvey has sent shock and anger around the country. Outrage is one thing, but what are you going to do with it? This isn't an isolated incident and Brooke and Matty are tired of this being a very real part of First Nations kids' lives. Enough is enough. What are you going to do about it? We take you through the Gina Rinehart V Australian Netball Team news that kicked off last week because of *checks notes oh yeah what a surprise* deeply racist comments made by Lang Hancock (Rinehart's late father and founder of Hancock Prospecting PTY LTD). Rinehart had offered a $15million funding boost to Netball Australia and members or the team didn't feel so great about being sponsored by someone who advocated for the sterilisation of Aboriginal Australians only 50 odd years ago. Plus Rachel Corbett - the head of Nova Podcasts - announced she is pregnant, and is doing it solo. We talk about how badass that is, and how Brooke and Matty can't wait to make their families whether or not the right partner is in their lives.

Brooke's wrapped her book tour in WA and was papped at the beach with MAFS alum Domenica Calarco AND Kate Walsh from Grey's Anatomy; which has Matty asking the important questions like - "do you ever wake up and just think my GOD I'm so hot" Plus there's been some chatter lately about a "boom" in the number of Australians identifying as First Nations people (based off 2021 census data). We chat about whether or not this is a good thing - particularly when it comes to doing the work connecting with community and culture when you come to your identity later in life.

Brooke and Matty are back in the studio! We discuss the goddess herself that is Lizzo and discuss Disney's live action Little Mermaid release which is causing waves all over the world for all the right reasons! Matty reveals his theory about nice hands and fingers. We aren't sure the science backs it up, but we were willing to hear him out! And who got a song written that is so cringeworthy it is never going to be heard? The lyrics include: "You are my pot of gold at the bottom of the rainbow" and some thoughts on Buffy!  *Eye Roll* Nova Entertainment acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we recorded this podcast, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation.

It's time to talk JOBS! We're analysing the whole SCOMO-multi-ministries debacle of last week, as well as Kanye yelling at people for giving him shit for his Yeezy Gap collection (that looks a lot like trash bags on a warehouse floor). We talk through our own work experiences and they're about as varied and buck wild as you could hope. Like Matty spent a bunch of time as EA to the legend and Aussie directing icon Baz Luhrmann (And hung out with literal Hollywood royalty).

Naarmcore is a term popping off on TikTok that feels a little too "let's be woke as a trend" masquerading as "cultural appreciation" for our vibe. Plus the Manly Sea Eagles Pride Jersey Saga is finally over and it's nice to see homophobia still exists yay. But don't go getting racist when you talk about it, cause there's a touch of nuance to the situation. And Brooke and Matty reflect on their weeks, and how mental health vibes seem to be popping off.
