  • Free feet (and my dramatic confession) w/ Nina Oyama
    Jun 18 2025

    This episode has it all: bisexual school trauma, cosmetic procedure panic, and the unexpected chaos of having a hot gyno.

    I’m joined by the wildly talented, hilarious Nina Oyama from Deadloch, Taskmaster, Thank God You're Here and every other Aussie TV comedy! We unpack whether or not we’re getting filler, what it was like being super queer in an all-girls school that wasn’t exactly chill about it, and the extremely uncomfortable experience of trying to keep eye contact during a pelvic exam.

    Also: I make a very dramatic confession about something I’ve never admitted publicly before. Spoiler alert… it’s about hair. And yes — there’s also some foot content. Unintentional, but appreciated by a very specific demographic...

    Jun 11 2025

    Hey y'all!!

    I'm so sorry I've been bad with the episodes!! I think most of you know I do all the editing and what not myself which I looove to do, but it takes some tiiiime y'all!! Anywho, with some technical difficulties/ delays and way too much on, I just cannot get it done for you this week!!

    I've got some verrrry fun eps coming up over the next month or so as we get closer to the hundredth!! BUT in the meantime, if you're looking for a good listen, not that it's at all like this show, I have a podcast to recommend! I listened to it earlier today and thought it was a very interesting and important conversation articulated brilliantly. Check out this episode of KICPOD w/ Dr Zac Seidler!

    See ya next week!

  • Cat mum vs actual mum w/ Alex Lee
    Jun 4 2025

    I had a real mum on the podcast… and spent most of it comparing her kids to my cat.

    Comedian, writer, star of The Roast, Thank God You're Here and SBS The Feed Alex Lee joins me to talk about how parenting changes your algorithm, the great sleepover debate, and why Bluey might be more for adults than kids. We also unpack fear-based parenting trends, controversial opinions, and yes—I try to convince her that having a dog is the same as having a child. (It goes about as well as you'd expect.)

    Check out Alex's new podcast Baby Shoes

    May 20 2025

    Broden Kelly (Aunty Donna) joins The Friend Request to talk comedy group dynamics, fashion mishaps, mole maps, solo projects, and why he might be trying to sabotage Aunty Donna from the inside (allegedly)... I mean, he's just doing solo stuff as well.

    We also dive into The OG Crew, what makes someone “hot but not funny,” and whether this is, in fact, a sexy podcast (again—his words).
