This week we discuss the latest entertainment news, including updates on the Alex V Lizzo feud, our mission to get Mark Holden on the pod and some listener feedback (SPOILER ALERT: we're running ads & you need to SUCK IT UP PRINCESS!)

We review season 2 of America's Sweethearts, the Netflix docu-series focussing on the Dallas Cowboys Chearleaders & celebrate the 400% pay increase for THE LADIES!!!

We also explore the idea of celebrity authenticity (is that an oxymoron?), public scrutiny and question what constitutes online bullying. Should influencers be prepared for some level of scrutiny if they share their lives online? Where is the line between opinion and hate? Jordy & Alex certainly have different views on trolls and how we tackle the issue, but one thing we can agree on is that being nasty is supremely UNCOOL. So play nice, okay?

The Project has been axed and in a cruel twist, the hosts & crew must show up on the desk till June 27th. Jordy relives a similar experience of having to shoot for 6 weeks at Neighbours, knowing she was being written out... AWKWARD.

Alex sheds a tear for her former workplace before we reminisce on some of the more memorable moments from The Projects' 16 years on our screens.

We've got an update on Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes' relationship and it appears as though Jordy may have to eat her words. Is this relationship real or a PR stunt?

Jordy recounts the time she was hounded by papparazzi in Hollywood and we've unearthed the footage, thanks to Getty. Exactly why the paps were stalking her on the streets of LA is still a mystery.

Finally, as if beef with Lizzo wasn't enough, Alex' feathers have been ruffled after content thieves refused to credit (AND TAG) her as their source. The lesson to be learned is, don't listen to other pods for showbiz news, just come straight to us.

Alex has found herself in an online stoush with none other than Lizzo herself & we're conviced she's gaslighting us?! Hear the flashback tale that started it all PLUS behind the scenes tea from Lizzo's appearance on The Project and THAT photoshoot in Channel 10.

We talk about why it's RIDIC to defend celebs online and why we've become completely descencitised to drama and trolling.

Following her online feud with Abbie Chatfield, Clementine Ford made the interesting choice to appear on Piers Morgan and it was nothing less than car crash viewing. We discuss the feminist rivalry between Abbie & Clementine and why we sometimes need to admit we are JEALOUS.

Content creator, Jamie Azzopardi is receiving backlash online after Australian Fashion Week and all we can say is the general public LOVE a pile on don't we?! Jordy shares her experience seeing Azzopardi at Melbourne Fashion Festival and the DM Jamie sent her that was really not cool.

As if Alex' week wasn't good enough, she gets to finish off the ep with a 'told you so' moment regarding MAFS contestants, Billy & Sierrah. Spoiler alert: Alex was, and always is right (according to us at least)

It's Alex's birthday (month) and she's had some exciting matches on the apps as a special treat. Have you ever matched with a celebrity? We want to hear about it!

Continuing the birthday joy, Jordy makes Alex relive her trauma from her days working in post-production. So, which was the bigger pressure cooker: MAFS or Masterchef? Listen to find out.

We discuss Jock Zonfrillo's passing, why his wife may have given their story to Channel 7 and question why we feel the need to know things that are absolutely NONE of our business.

We compile a list of jobs that tend to be filled by failed actors, feel free to reach out to make an addition and end the show covering the ongoing Jojo Siwa/Chris Hughes saga. Has Jojo found her match or is she just experiencing her first f**k boy? Only time will tell...

In this ep we recap our chaotic Titanic VR experience, which Alex was absolutely not mentally prepared for. You can't think Titanic without hearing "My Heart Will Go On", but unfortunately all Jordy hears is the years of butchered renditions from her days in singing comp circuts.

Tommy Littles' Comedy Festival Show left Jordy feeling nervy but Alex has bigger fish to fry after LITERALLY inserting herself into another comedian's show the night before.

Jordy feels vindicated after SNL have shown themselves to be as UNFUNNY as she accused them of being weeks ago #justiceforAmyLou. We then move on to questioning why so many people opt for the biggest, birghtest, whitest veneers. Or as we're now calling them, Turkey Teeth.

Alex has some major BTS tea from Love Triangle involving problematic ex-MAFS contestant, Kangaroo Mike, and offers him some sound advice for self improvement.

We finish off by losing any self respect we had left by literally BEGGING you to rate, review and subscribe to TSB. Seriously, pls. We're even giving away 1 x $120 Stan voucher to the best review we receive from now till September 30th 2025.

Hear about Jordy's dramatic last day on "Neighbours", and how a few chance encounters kept these two agents of chaos in touch over the years.

We somehow get into discussions about cruises, pondering the age-old question: Is it a vacation or just a floating buffet with a side of seasickness? Meanwhile, our quest to snag high-profile guests like Tom Gleeson and Dave Hughes for the podcast continues. Jordy thinks it's a lost cause, Alex still has hope.

Jordy reveals she 'got in trouble' for commenting to the Daily Mail in what could have been the pettyist display from a talent manager EVER.

Commentary on reality TV relationships and breakups ensues with Jordy thinking it is utterly BIZARRE for couples to be collaborating on a social media break up post.

We analyse manipulative behaviors in relationships, particulary those we've seen in the last few weeks of MAFS,

Finally, Alex shares her advice & encourages a healthy dose of self-awareness and reflection for potential reality show contestants.

• We discuss the reality of being a child star after Jordy watched the Ruby Franke doco on Disney plus. We delve into the psychological impact of child stardom, touching on the struggles faced by young actors like Justin Bieber. Would you let your child pursue fame at the cost of their childhood?

• Reality TV Dynamics: We analyze the legitimacy of relationships on reality shows and the motivations behind contestants' actions. Alex has also been approached by a Tiktoker asking for advice about going on MAFS.

• Is Cameo unethical? We debate on the ethics of charging fans for personalized messages and the exploitation of vulnerable fans. Jordy shares her attempt to get a cameo from Amanda Bynes and the end result was...uncomfortable viewing.

Thanks to our friends at LiSTNR & studio manager Jade Murray
