This week, I’m joined by hilarious and whip-smart comedian Lauren Edwards! We unpack the perils of dating male actors, micro-feminism and patriarchy chicken, unhinged relationship rules (spoiler: two toilets minimum), and the espresso martini agenda.

We share horror date stories, debate Beyoncé, give Leo DiCaprio the side-eye, and reveal the weird celebrity icks we can’t shake.

Plus: why musicians pull, the lucid dreaming scam, and Val Kilmer being Lauren’s Batman hill to die on.

It’s chaotic, confessional, and cathartic, perfect for anyone who’s ever cried post-situationship or considered dating a guy because he owns a guitar.

Enjoy the mess divas!!!

I’m joined by writer, journalist, speaker, and fierce disability advocate Zoe Simmons, who shares her raw take on dating while disabled, navigating ableism, and why accessibility matters for everyone.

Zoe opens up about the realities of chronic illness, invisible disabilities, and what it’s like dating as an autistic, chronically ill queer woman in a world that often gets it very wrong. We talk ghosting, medical gaslighting, using mobility aids, and the joy of finding real connection.

From wild date stories to calling out performative inclusivity in media, this episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to better understand how to show up, speak up, and do better.

Featuring: toxic exes, awkward dates, sensory joys, chronic pain, internet crushes, and Zoe’s dream of writing a TV show where disability is just part of life — not the whole plot.

I’m joined by DJ and creator Mad Day, aka Maddy Spencer, for an absolutely feral episode full of chaos, creativity, and confessions.

We chat about becoming a meme, her move into music, and how she’s rewriting her public identity as an artist. Mads shares stories from her Euro summer, a wild cheating scandal, the time she ran out of petrol and got charged $400, and what it’s like to literally fit her whole fist in her mouth for free drinks.

We also dive deep into her feminine energy era, heartbreak healing, and what it takes to go viral while staying true to yourself.

Follow @mad.day_ on TikTok & Instagram, and check out her new track just in time for Euro summer.

I’m joined by the unfiltered, hilarious, and chronically online Anthony Voulgaris aka @undiagnosedanthony. We get into everything from emotional cheating and being happily single, to influencer drama, TikTok fame, chaotic DMs, and the case for capital punishment (lol).

We talk about Anthony’s rise from real estate burnout to viral TikTok creator, why he thinks 9 to 5 should be 9 to 2, a snot kiss date story that will haunt you forever, and his hot takes on women cheating, political influencers, and cancel culture.

If you’ve ever been threatened with cancellation in your DMs, lived with your parents past your twenties, or considered emotionally cheating with a straight man, this episode is for you.

From liquid shits in luxury hotels to getting robbed outside South America’s biggest gay club, comedian Josh Hauville joins Mads World to unpack the chaos of dating, stand-up, travel, and spiritual epiphanies.

We chat about launching his new comedy show Joshy in Paris, why French audiences are a nightmare to win over, and how different cultures handle humour, hookups, and heartbreak. Josh spills on getting two-timed (with receipts), being chased with a knife in Colombia, and the beauty of becoming… the rug (yes, really).

We also deep-dive into gay green flags, hypochondriac vomiting reflexes, and whether you should ever date someone who doesn’t speak your language. This episode is full of laughs, mess, and a little meaning too...

I'm joined by Lana McBackwards for a hilarious and unfiltered conversation about the trans experience.

We cover everything from discovering her identity during the pandemic and dating apps as a trans woman, to dealing with clueless questions and bad dick pics. Lana shares what being a woman means to her, how she uses humour as advocacy, and why the conversations people are scared to have are often the most important.

If you've ever wondered what it's really like to transition, date, and thrive as a trans woman — or you just want a laugh-out-loud chat about pockets, puberty blockers, and Grindr chaos — this is the episode for you.
