We kick off this episode by dissecting the absurdity and moral complexities of the Ashley Madison documentary on Netflix. From the outrageous hypocrisy of born-again preachers to the uncomfortable ethical questions about the hackers who turned lives upside down.
Alex has been listening to "The Vial Files". A podcast hosted by former Bachelor star Nick Vial, who brings his unique brand of relationship advice and personal growth tales to the table.
We then explore the dynamics of high-profile relationships and hear our listeners thoughts on why showbiz romances often end in heartbreak.
One message strikes a chord with Jordy, which leads her to question the 'fraternising' she took part in all those years ago.

After being hilariously misrepresented by a certain media outlet & labelled a "disgruntled former Neighbours star", Jordy sets the record straight.
Alex reads out comments from Jordy's trolls, which leads us to the weird nature of parasocial relationships. Jordy thinks we're all on the same page until Alex reveals herself as a superfan that has no qualms sliding into celebrity's DM's.
We aren't the only ones who've had it rough in the news this week. Kyle Sandilands threw Delta Goodrem under the bus on his radio show & of course the media were like moths to the flame.
As a self-proclaimed 'Pro-Delta podcast', we share why we won't hear a bad word about our Queen. From Alex wrangling a Delta superfan on the Red Carpet at The Logies, to the time Jordy was INSIDE her Hollywood Mansion. You won't believe what went down...

Jordy has stumbled across WikiFeet, where she found a feed dedicated to her very own hoofs. Meanwhile, Alex is already monetising hers, which leads us to the brilliant idea of starting a fan-funded Patreon for all our beauty treatments. (Not sure if we're joking or serious on this one, stay tuned)
We also received some victim impact statements regarding the most troublesome Neighbours fan in history. Spoiler alert: The Police were called in.
Then from navigating the hierachy of the carpark to where to get the best coffee, Jordy gives Chrishell Stause some advice as she heads to Ramsay St.
Finally, Alex has taken it upon herself to ask a Neighbours writer to give Jordy her job back and of course, makes her sit through a live reading of the exchange. Is there a chance of a Summer Hoyland return? Listen to find out... -
Buckle up for an unfiltered chat with Jordy as we dive into her life on and after Neighbours.
Hear about the moment from Neighbours that put her feet front and center, leading to some unforgettable fan reactions and how her Mum booked a TV gig before her, WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.
We take a look at the emotional rollercoaster that comes with a career in soap operas— financial woes, unexpected tax bills, and the bittersweet feeling of job loss.
Jordy gives us the inside scoop on how social media has changed the industry and the planning that goes into a character's exit. Plus, hear about her transition from Australian TV to Hollywood, where she navigated the whirlwind of meetings, new opportunities & a management team that gave zero sh!ts about her emotional wellbeing, but that's showbiz baby!

Alex got all fancy for her birthday, heading to GOLD CLASS to watch Zendaya's flick, "Challengers", only to find it missing that secret spice.
Jordy watched Fiona Harvey (aka 'Martha' from "Baby Reindeer") on Piers Morgan and was left questioning whether interviewing a clearly unwell woman was ethical. This then leads us to exploring exactly WHO deserves a right of reply in the media and when someone needs to be 'de-platformed'. We'd love to hear your thoughts on this one!
A recent debacle between Australian podcasters regarding a certain 'dude' from this years season of MAFS is doing the rounds in the news cycle, but Jordy thinks the media have turned it into the feminism Olympics instead of focussing on the bigger issue, VIOLENT MEN!
Could the media ever come together to form guidelines for employing and platforming people with convictions? Alex puts her producer hat on and says NO!
Alex confronts Jordy about a rumoured 'on set romance' from back in the day & we read out some audience feedback.
Just like the inside of our minds, it's an episode of CHAOS, but it's a goody.

Diva tantrums & on set meltdowns are nothing new in the world of showbiz. It's an industry fraught with scandal, secrets & bad behaviour.
However some of the most outrageous antics come from not the celebrities or studio bigwigs, but the fans...
From cyberstalking to fan wars, a love of entertainment can bring out the worst in a person. And just like Martha from Baby Reindeer, some fans take it a few (okay, MANY) steps too far.
Jordy shares the creepiest fan mail she received while working at Neighbours, while Alex talks about managing fans as a social media producer.
HINT: It's a f**king NIGHTMARE

The bright lights of showbiz might blind you to the real-life drama that unfolds behind them. But no matter what happens, the show must go on...
No really, it doesn't matter what happens, the show WILL go on.
Alex reflects on Jock Zonfrillo's passing & why working at MasterChef at the time of his death ultimately lead her to step away from the industry all together.
Jordy then shares a live set incident on 'Neighbours' that has haunted her and why it would be handled differently today.

Did you know our very own Alexandria Funnell was the social media producer at The Project when Lisa Wilkinson broke the Bruce Lehrmann story?
We've been DYING to discuss this, but kind of wanted to avoid a defamation case 1 week into our podcast, ya know? Well, last week the gavel came down on Bruce Lehrmann, and the floodgates opened for us to speak freely on exactly what we think of him – and speak we do!
Alex recounts the secrecy surrounding The Project's story on Lehrmann, recalling the nerves that gripped the legal team, and the fact checkers that were working hard for the money.
Jordy & Alex discuss the allegations that Channel 7 paid for drugs, sex workers and rent in Sydney in exchange for Lehmann's exclusive interview on Spotlight in 2023.
Charming, right?
But if years of working in this industry have taught us anything, it's that showbiz will go great lengths to keep your secrets, but only if they consider you valuable enough...

When has technology failed you at work? Because we think Alex's story of a finicky camera & a disgruntled Lizzo takes the cake.
We then talk about why cancel culture is so 2017 & how easily celebrities can lose their humility.
But it's not all dramatic divas in the world of showbiz, we've met some gems too. You'll have to listen to find out which A-lister Alex claims has 'angel-like energy'.
Have you had an encounter with a celebrity? Was it a dream or disaster?
