restless

In 2014, 28-year-old German tourist Lars Mittank ran out of a Bulgarian airport, left all his belongings behind, and vanished into the forest—never to be seen again. In this episode, Ollie and Ro try to crack the code on one of the internet’s strangest disappearances.

Ollie got punched in the face, Ro is questioning the future of QR-coded gravestones, and somewhere in Brisbane, a high school teacher is actually identifying as a cat. This week, we unpack why Ollie got randomly decked outside a bar (hint: men are fragile), whether Kourtney Kardashian’s teenage son secretly has a kid, and if spy agencies are really out here advertising espionage jobs on LinkedIn. Plus, MAFS contestant Marina claims the show used AI to make her fluent in Italian—so is reality TV even real anymore? Is avoiding people in public the healthiest decision you can make? And what the hell is happening to Ollie’s brain post-concussion? Welcome back to Restless.

Uni: a place where you either thrive or just barely survive. Ollie and Rojan break down the good, the bad, and the completely unnecessary parts of higher education. From cursed professors to the mystery of mature-age students, we cover it all—including why networking might actually be a scam. Also, should you date someone from your tutorial? (No.) And why is Ollie STILL mad about his journalism degree? This episode is sponsored by Afterpay!

Ollie’s spiralling because his influencer-era is over—seven months of “creative freedom” (a.k.a. unemployment) have come to an end, and now he’s staring down the barrel of corporate life. Ro, meanwhile, is deep in the science of why starving men crave curvy women (turns out, evolution is just as messy as modern dating). Elsewhere, Ollie embarrasses himself by DMing his TikTok twin (who is not responding), Drake is lurking around Australia throwing money at pretty women, and Ro is questioning if using a brown emoji when you’re white is a subtle crime.
