    Ep 161. Calista Clements - How Radical Ideology And Wokeism Is Destroying Australia

    Calista Clements is an Australian content creator and political commentator known for bringing common sense back into conversations around culture, politics and the issues everyday Australians are facing. Her commentary cuts through the noise with a direct, unapologetic style that has made her a strong voice among young Australians who feel frustrated by the way politics, media and public debate are often framed. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan as they sit down with Calista to unpack whether Australia has gone too woke, why common sense feels increasingly rare, and the biggest issues facing everyday Aussies today. Expect to learn how to talk about immigration honestly without being labelled racist, whether Welcome to Country has become overused, Calista’s real thoughts on the Ben Roberts-Smith case, why Australians feel more divided than ever, what she would do about Victoria’s crime concerns, how to combat radicalism in Australia, whether political commentary has cost her friendships, what she really thinks about Pauline Hanson, if wokeism is a dying ‘fad’, why she still believes young Australians have reason to be optimistic, and much more.  Check Out Calista!

    Ep 159. Breaking Down Male Sexual Performance Anxiety

    Why do so many men struggle with sexual insecurity, especially performance anxiety? It is still a taboo topic, but plenty of men are quietly dealing with it. Many want real answers about why their performance in the bedroom is affected, yet shame, fear and uncertainty often stop them from confronting the issue directly, so it gets avoided and pushed further down the road. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they unpack the evidence behind male sexual insecurity and performance anxiety, and the principles that can actually help men move through it. Expect to learn why so many men tie their self-worth to sexual performance, whether quitting adult content can improve performance, why a lot of common sexual insecurities fall apart under simple statistics, what the science says about the most effective way to overcome anxiety in the bedroom, the key questions to ask yourself after a negative sexual experience, and much more!

    Ep 158. The Big Bros Guest Lessons You Need To Know

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they reflect on some of the most valuable lessons they have taken away from interviewing their guests.

    Ep 157. Vinnie Brigante - Inside The Big Brother House

    Vinnie Brigante has made a name for himself across a few different spaces, from reality TV after appearing on Big Brother Australia 2025, to music and social media, while also working as a barber. While he comes across as funny, upbeat and easygoing, there is also a more reflective side to him, and that is where a lot of his insight and perspective really comes through.  Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Vinnie to unpack what reality TV taught him about himself, how he handled the pressure that came with it, and the biggest lessons he took from the experience. Expect to learn the real reason Vinnie was accepted onto Big Brother, whether being labelled fake actually got to him, what the experience taught him about human nature, whether there was more to his eviction than what the public saw, what the mental toll is of being followed by cameras 24/7, how he ended up singing in front of 30,000 people alongside Zach Bryan, what his upbringing reveals about the person he is today, and much more.

    Gene Efron, better known as Tallncurly, is a Melbourne-based comedy and content creator who has amassed millions of views for his funny and relatable digs at Melbourne life, Australian culture, and for the everyday chaos of being a young adult. Although many know Gene as the quirky guy who can capture every corner of Melbourne culture, fewer know the story behind him, and how he came to tap into his creative side. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they explore the man behind Tallncurly, and how he developed the distinct creative voice that has made his take on Melbourne life and Australian culture so recognisable. Expect to learn what “Naarmcore” actually means, why Australian news anchors all seem to sound the same, what Gene’s rule is when it comes to offensive jokes, how Gene navigated the sunk-cost fallacy when leaving his old job as a psychologist to pursue his creative passions, whether you should chase security or take risks in your 20s, why he believes improv classes can be one of the most powerful tools for building confidence, and much more.

    Ep 155. Gerard Healy - "I Have Been Ashamed of My Country"

    Gerard Healy is an AFL legend who played for the Melbourne Football Club and the Sydney Swans, won the 1988 Brownlow Medal, and was later selected in the Sydney Swans Team of the Century. He has since become one of the most enduring figures in Australian football through a long broadcasting career across Seven, 3AW, Fox Footy and now SEN, helping shape the way the game is understood both on and off the field. Although Gerard Healy is widely respected for his contribution to the AFL landscape, he has also gained enormous admiration within the Australian Jewish community for the clarity and courage of his recent commentary and advocacy, speaking openly against antisemitism and standing publicly with Jewish Australians. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Gerard Healy for a powerful conversation about why he has chosen to use his voice and platform to advocate so strongly for Jewish Australians. Expect to learn why Gerard put his name alongside more than 60 Australian sporting figures calling for a royal commission into antisemitism, why he believes antisemitism has been allowed to fester over recent years, whether most Australians are still oblivious to the real threats and dangers Jewish people have faced, Gerard’s true thoughts on the AFL omitting any direct reference to Jewish people during its Bondi terror attack tribute, why standing against injustice feels personal to him, what he believes the AFL must actually do to stamp out antisemitism, how he felt receiving the Anti-Defamation Commission’s Medal of Honour for Courage Against Hate, what he sees as the broader consequences of antisemitism for Australian society, and much more!

    Ep 154. Flynn Martin - What Psychosis Really Feels Like

    Flynn Martin is an Australian content creator who first drew widespread attention in 2022 after a viral video in which he questioned whether it was “OK to be a straight, white male.” Since then, Flynn has reflected publicly on that period and the influence of “manosphere” and “red pill” content, though he has spoken less about the mental health challenges he experienced both during and after that time. Today, Flynn is making an effort not only to entertain people through his online content, but also to speak candidly about his bipolar diagnosis and the real, often unique challenges that have come with his lived experience. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they dive beneath Flynn’s comedic front to explore who he really is, the highs and lows he’s faced, and the story behind the person people see online. Expect to learn what it’s actually like to experience psychosis and mania, how he went missing for two days, if overidentifying with mental health struggles can create further issues, how he navigated online hate in the real world, the crucial lifestyle changes he has made to protect his wellbeing, Flynn’s tear-jerking sweet spot story, and much more. Content warning: This episode includes discussion around mental health, bipolar disorder, and distressing personal experiences, which may be triggering for some listeners. Please listen with care. Support: If anything raised in this conversation feels overwhelming, support is available through Lifeline on 13 11 14, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 000. Check Out Flynn!
