While We Have You

iHeart Australia, Alex Nation, Kirby Bentley & Tully Smyth

 One thing always leads to another. While We Have You with Alex Nation, Kirby Bentley and Tully Smyth  - because the best conversations rarely stay on topic. Whether it’s that celebrity breakup we can’t stop talking about that becomes a debate about the relationship you stayed in too long or a reality TV scandal that opens up questions about loyalty, jealousy and whether you’d forgive someone who lied to your face. This is the place where pop culture, personal stories and excellent gossip are the doorway into bigger conversations about the messiness of life, the complexity of identity and ambition, intensity of motherhood, relationships, and the strange realities of life right now. Just when you think the conversation is finished, someone inevitably says, “Actually, while we have you…” and that is where the real chat begins. Pop culture. News. What’s shaping conversations. Relationships. Friendship. Motherhood. Dating. Work. Identity. Reality TV.  Resentment. Ambition. Breakups. Bad decisions. Excellent gossip. Funny, candid, curious and occasionally inappropriate, While We Have You is built on the kind of chemistry that makes one topic spill into the next, with Alex, Kirby and Tully bringing the warmth, honesty and sharp asides. The headline is simply the way in. Where the conversation ends up is the most interesting part.

    House parties at 16, facelifts at 30 & reality TV BTS with Manaaki Hoepo

    We've seen very different sides of Manaaki Hoepo - on Aussie Shore and The Traitors. He joins Kirby and Alex (Tully is having a well-earned week off) to talk about why he’s happy to stir the pot when something needs to be called out, the new season of Aussie Shore, and why he's always underestimated. Then we get serious. Kirby's Aunty Andrea was murdered in 2009 and left behind 13 children. Kirbs, as an ambassador for the organisation Djirra (which supports Aboriginal women who have or are experiencing DV), opens up about the vital work she does there and explains why the upcoming 16 Days of ACTIVEism Festival is one to get involved with. It’s on the 3rd of December in Melton, and it's about sharing stories, walking as one and raising awareness to protect our women and children for a better future in Australia. The event brings women and their children together with support services including lawyers and psychologists. You can get tickets or donate here:  https://djirra.org.au/get-involved/donate/ Next up Alex shares how she approached alcohol, consent, communication with parents and keeping 30 teenagers safe at her 16-year-old son’s first big house party. The big question: how do you give your kids independence while still being their guardian? Plus, are facelifts in your 30s becoming normal? Alex and Kirby talk Botox, cosmetic procedures, social media beauty standards and whether we’re becoming increasingly afraid of simply getting older.

    Relationship or friendship break-ups: which one hits harder? G-Flip and Chrishell Stause reactions

    LOVE IS DEAD!!! Well, according to Tully, Alex and Kirby it is, because G Flip and Chrishell Stause have called it quits and the girls are officially in mourning. This week on While We Have You, we unpack the breakup of the century, why women can feel like they've "failed" when a relationship ends, and what happens when your love life plays out in public. Then, inspired by Sophie Monk and the Bardot reunion, things get VERY personal as Tully opens up about the friendship break-ups she still thinks about years later, while Alex reveals the brutal intervention her best mates staged when she was in her chaotic era. Plus, Airbnb has banned checkout chore lists. Are you stripping the bed and taking out the bins, or is that what the cleaning fee is for? Kirby also opens up about the stereotypes she still encounters as an Indigenous woman in Australia, and why they shape the way she acts in hotels, Airbnbs and public spaces.
