    Ibiza, American Politics & Status Symbols

    This week’s mini ep is a bit of everything, from what we’ve been watching lately to partying in Ibiza, Australian artists taking over Europe, American politics and the status symbols we’ve officially grown out of. We chat about a recent George Clooney film that got us thinking about fame, relationships and the lives we build around success, before getting into the very high-production world of Ibiza residencies (and just how much it costs to get through the door). Plus, we answer a few of your questions: what opinions have changed over the last five years? What would actually surprise you about our day-to-day lives? And which status symbols do we simply not care about anymore? Spoiler: the reality is a lot more desk work, routine and parking small cars than you might expect.

    Kylie Minogue, Hall Passes and Our Brutal Mid-Year Report Card

    Season 2 has already delivered huge guests, viral moments and more chaos than Isaac and Elliot can properly remember, so it is time for the official No Utes in the Valet mid-year report card. This week, the boys are joined by their friend and behind-the-scenes confidante Lucy for an honest assessment of who is having the better year. Isaac is balancing AFL commentary, family life and a wife who wants another child, while Elliot reflects on breaking his leg, learning patience and discovering who genuinely shows up when life forces you to slow down. The conversation quickly moves from personal growth to complete nonsense as they debate the biggest sporting moments of 2026, AFL premiership favourites, disastrous house inspections, celebrity hall passes and the most overrated stars of the year. Elliot names Charlize Theron as his best-dressed celebrity, questions the fashion hype surrounding Zendaya and Law Roach, and gives his verdict on Timothée Chalamet. The group also reveals their celebrity hall passes, discusses the shows apparently improving people’s relationships and hears about Elliot’s new gay book club obsession. They also review the latest AFL fashion collaborations, discuss the upcoming footy finals and reveal their dream guests for the second half of the season, including NFL personalities and one Australian pop icon. The episode finishes with Elliot delivering a passionate, slightly desperate and completely unrequested public invitation for Kylie Minogue to join the podcast. Kylie, the microphones are ready.
