    Ep 178. Are You Leading Them On?

    How do you know if someone is leading you on? Is it their refusal to have the “what are we?” conversation, their reluctance to do anything that signals a serious relationship, or the endless insistence that they just want to “go with the flow”?

Expect to learn why being led on may be your own fault, why men are more likely than women to drag out a talking stage, how to tell if someone is genuinely serious about you, why your dating problems are not as unique as they feel, how low self-worth can keep you trapped in non-committal situations, and much more!

    Ep 177. Neel Kolhatkar - The Art of Comedy in the DEI Era

    Neel Kolhatkar is an Australian comedian, writer and content creator known for his cultural observations, political satire and willingness to say the things most people are too scared to touch. After building a massive online following through viral sketches, Neel has gone on to tour nationally, self-produce his own specials and build a comedy career largely outside the traditional industry mould. In a comedy landscape that feels more restricted than it once was, where the safest voices are often rewarded over the funniest ones, Neel has carved out a lane by staying sharp, independent and unafraid to make people uncomfortable. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Neel Kolhatkar to unpack whether comedy can still be honest in an industry increasingly shaped by politics and self-censorship. Expect to learn what actually goes into writing a comedy bit and how to know if it is genuinely funny, how to tell an edgy joke without coming across like an a*****e, whether free speech is essential for great comedy, how DEI and victimhood culture are shaping the Australian comedy scene, why Neel has chosen to remain independent rather than play the industry game, and much more!

    Ep 174. Are You Boring?

    Ever had a conversation with someone who feels less like a person and more like an AI-written corporate bio?
