Camping? Meditation? Marathons?! Absolutely not.

Mary Coustas is calling for the Unleashed anti-bucket list - the things we are officially opting out of for life. Meanwhile, Sally ticks off a major life milestone… and with it comes a deeply unsettling realisation: she is the adult now. Plus, the time Bruna got fired as a bridesmaid, and Mary got sacked for standing her Greek ground.

And in very sad news, Sally shares the loss of her family dog Hannah, and why losing a pet unlocks a very deep and unique kind of grief.

In your ears today: Sally Hepworth, Cath Mahoney, Mary Coustas and Bruna Papandrea

She's just got off a plane from the Oscars so yeah, we have questions.

What’s it actually like inside the Academy Awards? In this special bonus episode, Bruna Papandrea tells us everything: from the red carpet to the toilets, the snack boxes, and some deeply weird behaviour during "In Memoriam."

We revel in the glamour! The showbiz! The stars!

And then Bruna reveals the devastating truth: she didn't tell a single Hollywood soul about this podcast.

At some point you look in the mirror and realise gravity has come for your face. Bruna's pretty miffed no one warned her. Meanwhile, should you be with one person for the rest of your life? Because Grace has some ground rules - like if her husband replaces her, she'll come back as a ghost and haunt his d*ck.

And what did you get up to to when your parents weren't looking? Sally stole a library book from the nuns and still feels guilty, and Grace spat in her mums face washer.

And finally, Producer Mia needs some advice after a designer jacket situation at work goes horribly wrong. Lets just say the office "free table" is involved.

In your ears today: Grace Lam, Bruna Papandrea, Sally Hepworth and Cath Mahoney

A ticket to the Oscars, a real estate agent gone wrong, and an emotional cup of tea.

Bruna casually prepares to go to the Oscars. Meanwhile at home, Ginni has beef with people that take their shoes off in houses. Grace has some feedback for a real-estate agent, and Cath pays $140 to drink a cup of tea, sit in a circle and cry with strangers. Then we remember the first concert we went to - with a surprising result.

In your ears today: Cathrine Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam and Ginni Mansberg

How many psychics is too many psychics? Cath has reached the point where she needs a Chat GPT spreadsheet to track them all.

Mary confirms - with evidence - that her mother has never given a blowjob.

Bruna joins a wellness cult called 75 Hard, but she still can’t find time for a shower.

Grace’s clairvoyant spat water all over her to exorcise a ghost. Sadly, it didn't work for Bruna when the ghost of Princess Diana turned up in her bedroom.

Plus, a miracle church, and the lengths we go to for love, for family, and for the sisterhood.

In your ears today: Cathrine Mahoney, Bruna Papandrea, Grace Lam and Mary Coustas.

Bruna confesses she loves going under general anaesthetic because it’s the only proper rest she gets.
