About this listen

This week on The Oddcast, Carlz and Topher dive into one of the most bizarre cultural moments yet — Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS line releasing hairy underwear. Yes, really.

But beneath the absurdity lies something deeper: how the Kardashians industrialised beauty, how we’ve commodified the female body down to the follicle, and what it says about a culture that can sell anything — even pubic hair.

We also unpack:
🌍 Trump’s unexpected Gaza peace deal — why the Left can’t celebrate peace unless it’s on their terms.
🔥 Lidia Thorpe’s “burn down Parliament” remarks and the hypocrisy around who gets away with incitement.
⚖️ Linda Reynolds is moving to bankrupt Brittany Higgins.
🔪 Melbourne’s crime wave versus Premier Allan’s “Melbourne is safe” claims.
👩‍⚖️ NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro’s blunt “born a bloke, men’s prison” policy and the rise of moral clarity in the gender debate.
🎤 Plus, Taylor Swift backlash, the industrial beauty complex, and why society’s moral decay isn’t about Left vs Right — it’s Good vs Evil.

💬 Tell us what you think — are we finally growing back the forests, or just rebranding the weeds?
