'Not quite right' seems to be the feedback for today. Why have six women gone to space in full glam for *checks notes* 11 minutes, only to return to earth and kiss the ground? Side note, why are Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian giving interviews about it? We don't remember this episode of The Simpsons.
Similarly, why are our politicians dropping diss tracks and is this the new form that election campaigns should take from now on? Can the 2025-2026 budget be released via SoundCloud too?
Finally, given the long weekend, we thought we'd leave you with some bonus reccos as a little treat. Holly Wainwright is joined by Clare Stephens and Em Vernem for a book, a TV show and a building that aren't afraid to take up space.

An ageing Boomer bad boy and a queer 21-year-old multi-millionairess locked in a house together. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot actually. Many thoughts. We discuss what happened with Jojo Siwa and Mickey Rourke on Celebrity Big Brother.
Plus, there were lots of cool people in the desert this weekend, paying $20 AUD for a 'super duper' shower. That's right, it's Coachella season. As always, the fashion is arguably the main festival headliner, and hosts Holly Wainwright, friend of the pod Em Vernem and the legend that is Clare Stephens, define the different levels of cool within this influencer world.
And, relationships. What do the top five percent of them have in common and why is it so horrifying to Em? Group therapy is in session.

We're living in the age of diagnosis. But are we about to enter a new era – one of de–diagnosis, where we can give some of our pathologies back? We discuss a new book that's changing the way we see what's wrong with us.
Plus, we have some recommendations including a rashie (yes, you read that right) and two fabulous new memoirs about an It Girl and a magazine mogul.
And, a Nicole test, a bingle and multiple viewings of a questionable film, plus Jessie's car disaster. It’s Best & Worst.

Old friends. After a spotlight was cast upon the female friendship dynamic in The White Lotus Season 3, we have some thoughts. Are old friendships toxic, or are their sometimes fraught, no BS nature the very thing that makes them the most valuable?
Plus, what makes a politician? When Peter Dutton received troubling news minutes before the first Australian Leaders debate, a subsequent discussion emerged. When does a personal crisis trump the requirements of a role and exactly what does it take to be a leader?
Finally, astroturfing. No, this doesn't relate to Holly's garden but the manufacturing of public smear campaigns against celebrities, disguised as organic content. Holly, Jessie and friend of the pod Amelia Lester discuss the internet's latest celebrity victim – and what's behind her takedown.

Look, no one missed the photos of Robert Irwin posing in his undies over the weekend., The ad campaign included a giant snake, a spider, a lizard and young Bob looking very handsome – did you have complicated feelings? We did and most of them involved... bread.
And, bamboozled by the tariff talk? Muddled about the stock market mayhem? Fortunately for all of us, Amelia Lester is across it and happy to explain it in a way that makes sense.
Plus, the 7 point outfit hack that’s going to revolutionise the way you get dressed in the mornings.
