    Gun Laws, Global Tensions and Eating Disorders

    Gareth and Leigh-Ann unpack the shifting landscape of global geopolitics and what South Africa’s potential role could look like in the event of a wider global conflict. Hanan delivers a powerful monologue on eating disorders, questioning whether society truly treats them as the serious mental health issue they are. Simon Wilkins from Galetti joins the conversation to discuss his incredible 36km swim across the icy English Channel, and Gideon Joubert weighs in on a major issue facing South Africans right now — the proposed new gun laws and what they could mean for personal safety and security.

    Ranking Lesbians & Olympic Village Chaos

    Did we get it wrong from the start? Gareth Cliff and Leigh-Ann Mol kick things off by unpacking why people cling to unnecessary memories instead of holding onto the small bits of good that actually matter. Dr Hanan joins the conversation as the team asks a bold question: in a world where everyone is self-diagnosed as depressed or anxious, where did all the actual crazy people go? Things take a chaotic turn as the crew ranks the Top 10 lesbians purely on who looks the part — fashion, energy, and unapologetic confidence all count. And finally, Matt C Smith sits down to share his journey to the Olympics, including some unforgettable and slightly wild stories from inside the Olympic Village.

    Were We Wrong About Everything? Epstein, MJ, and the Death of Truth

    Did we have it all wrong the whole time? Gareth Cliff and Ben Karpinski start their day diving headfirst into the Epstein Files and the explosive question of whether Michael Jackson may have been a protector of children, not a predator. Dr Hanan joins the show as the team challenge the long-held myth that women are naturally more empathetic — the science might surprise you. Mash steps in to unpack cognitive development and how “TikTok slop” is hijacking attention and rewarding dopamine addiction. And in an era of outrage, algorithms, and misinformation, is telling the truth harder than ever? Investigative journalist Lourensa Eckard weighs in from the front lines of truth after more than a decade in the field.

    Influence, Epstein & Exit Visas

    Do we need to suffer for kids to bloom? That’s the uncomfortable question that kicks off today’s conversation as the team unpacks Gen Z mental-health buzzwords and the culture shaping them. Levi Brown joins the show to talk DeInfluencing — what it really means, why it matters, and how he’s using his platform to push back against brands like Virgin Active in the name of accountability. Gareth Cliff and Ben Karpinski then dive headfirst into the latest Epstein file drop, attempting to connect the dots as the rabbit hole gets darker and deeper. Plus, Matthew Fubbs from The Holiday Factory breaks down which countries South Africans can travel to visa-free — and why now might be the time to pack a bag.

    Untouchable: Power, Crime & Politics
