I started this episode with a full rant about fuel prices in Australia, the cost of living, and everything going on globally — because honestly… what is happening right now?

In this episode, we unpack the fallout that ended Trisha Paytas’ long-standing friendships with Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams. From the Hair By Jay backlash and Trisha’s deleted “Why I Am Scared of Jeffree and Hair By Jay” video, to Jeffree Star’s continued protection within the inner circle, we break down how fear, money, and power shaped every move.We dive into the Frenemies era, where Ethan Klein showed more public support for Trisha than Shane ever did, despite a 14-year friendship — and how silence, invalidation, and profit ultimately won out over loyalty.This episode explores what happens when friendships become transactional, why Jeffree Star once again avoided real consequences, and how Trisha — despite everything — may have had the last laugh.Send us Fan Mail

Episode 14: YouTuber Reckoning - Karmageddon
Dramageddon 3 wasn’t just YouTube drama — it was a full-blown reckoning. In this episode, we unpack how the scandal unfolded during COVID and a shifting political climate, and why it marked a turning point for accountability in the beauty community.We break down the fallout for Shane Dawson, Tati Westbrook, and Jeffree Star, fact-check key claims, and examine how rushed apology videos and a refusal to take responsibility led to lost trust, followers, and influence. When creators prioritised money over accountability, audiences noticed — and walked away.We also explore why Jenna Marbles owning her mistakes and stepping back may have been the most impactful response of all.This episode is less about drama and more about consequences — and how karma finally caught up.Send us Fan Mail

Episode 10: Oats, Omens & Overanalysed Eggs
I mourn the death of Uncle Tobys oat cups, survive a haunted air-con, and tumble headfirst into the grim origins of nursery rhymes. Was Humpty Dumpty really a king? A cannon? Or just the saddest egg in history? And was Jack & Jill about kids fetching water, or a brutal tax scam? We’ll spiral through all that, plus omens, Bloody Mary torture devices, and my latest horror movie obsessions—from Satan’s Slaves to Where Evil Lurks.Send us Fan Mail

Episode 6: Hawaiian Shirts, Dead People, and Sidewalk Saboteurs
This episode is an unholy hodgepodge and proud of it. We start with a PolAir chopper blasting messages from the sky (are we in The Hunger Games?), take a wild detour into the loud legacy of Hawaiian shirts and how they somehow birthed Casual Fridays, and then dig — literally — into why burying people 3 feet under might actually be the vibe. Also, if you're out there blocking walking paths: I will find you, and I will bop you. Add a sprinkle of Japanese Golden Curry, my full-blown obsessions with ABBA and Bloc Party, and top it off with a taste of Spanian — it’s all eats, no skips, and maximum chaos.Send us Fan Mail

Spoiler: it’s not. Meryl Streep is a goddess though.And if I ever vanish, just know this podcast is my legacy. Weirdly comforting, right?Send us Fan Mail
