Get ready to laugh, cry and maybe rethink your life choices because this week, Ringo and Ridgey are joined by the indomitable Simone Holtznagel! If you don’t know her already she’s not just a GUESS Jeans model or a Playboy cover star (although, let’s be real, those are iconic), she’s also a TV personality (Australia’s Next Top Model, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here), a new mum and Australia’s sassiest blonde.

Simone takes us back to the pre-Instagram era of modeling—yes, there was life before filters—and spills the beans on the highs and lows of being in the fashion world. From working with GUESS to gracing the cover of Playboy US, she shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories that’ll make you realise modeling isn’t all runways and glam—it’s a whole lot of grit too.

But it’s not all fashion. Simone opens up about how the late Charlotte Dawson inspired her, teaching her about resilience and authenticity in an industry that can be, well, brutal. She also dives deep into the impact of loss and grief, balancing motherhood with her career and the hilarious chaos of everyday life (spoiler: her baby isn’t impressed with her runway strut).

Of course, Ringo and Ridgey bring their A-game with their usual repertoire of blundering questions, a bit of roasting and plenty of banter. This is more than an interview; it’s a feel-good, laugh-out-loud conversation with one of Australia’s most dynamic women. Tune in, and thank us later!

Get ready for an eye-opening, humorous, and deeply human conversation with Madison Ashton, one of Australia’s most renowned sex workers. In this episode, Madison pulls back the curtain on the realities of her profession, offering a candid look at the business, the stigma, and the unexpected tax headaches of life in her industry.

From her first steps into sex work to becoming a leading voice in the field, Madison shares her journey with wit and wisdom. She dives into the challenges of navigating relationships, self-identity, and societal expectations, all while keeping us entertained with her sharp humor and poignant reflections.

Madison debunks common myths, sheds light on the empowerment behind her career choices, and even offers some surprising insights into the economics of the industry—because yes, even sex workers have to deal with taxes!

This conversation isn’t just about sex work—it’s about resilience, independence, and owning your narrative. Madison’s charm and candor will leave you thinking differently about an often-misunderstood profession.

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or just looking for a fascinating story, this episode will keep you laughing, learning, and maybe even questioning your preconceptions. Tune in—you don’t want to miss this one!

What happens when a comedian swaps punchlines for hard-hitting truths about life, trauma, and mental health? In this episode, Mike King takes us on a raw, real, and unexpectedly funny journey from the highs of celebrity life to the deeper struggles lurking underneath. Spoiler: fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Mike dives into his childhood, family dynamics, and how the pursuit of validation (read: the applause addiction) shaped his identity—and not always for the better. With honesty and a touch of humor, he unpacks how addiction and trauma intersect and why finding your passion is the ultimate rebellion against societal expectations.

Meanwhile, Matthew and David tackle the elephant in the room regarding Mike’s recent comments about alcohol and drug use and addresses the misrepresentation he has experienced in the New Zealand media.

The team ask why are we so bad at talking about suicide and mental health and Mike calls out society’s tribalistic tendencies, champions hands-on experience in mental health care, and makes a strong case for connection, acceptance, and the power of simply saying, “Let’s talk.”

Prepare to laugh, reflect, and maybe even tear up as these three challenge the status quo and bring hope to some of life’s darkest corners.
