Cath flew one-way across the country to meet a man she had already married in her head, and he cried instead of consummating. Bruna discovered she had been paying someones phone bill for two and a half years, to the tune of five grand. Mary's mum stormed a bank teller into a discount and came back with the hair to prove it. And Cath slid into a 24-year-old's DMs, purely, she swears, for the history content. Plus: the skin check Bruna avoided for years, the mentoring session that ended one woman's acting dreams, and the Unleasher wondering if 40 is too old to start again.

Grace went in for a friendly hello hug and came out with a handful she didn't ask for. Ginni got pulled up by immigration over a joke about cathedrals and thought her holiday was over. Grace also wants to outsource half her husband and most of her son, starting with his ears. And Cath got the best test results of her life and somehow felt worse than ever.

Plus: the party guest who needed an ambulance, the neighbours whose sex life runs like clockwork, and the Unleasher who paid nearly a thousand dollars to be ghosted by a dating agency.

And a HUGE thank you to everyone who attended The Spring Fling AKA Cath's formal. We share a little BTS audio as to what went down on the night.

I Didn’t Need To Know This Much About My Neighbours’ Sex Life

Author and skincare founder Zoë Foster Blake joins this week’s Unleashed and she’s bringing her new book, Group Chat, to the couch.

Mary hired a nude dancer for a hen’s night, only for one very religious relative to become an extremely enthusiastic audience member. Bruna kept a cast fed, entertained and sane through COVID quarantine, right down to a request for a pet goanna. And Cath’s mum gave her one sentence when she was five that she’s lived by ever since.

Plus, Zoë shares the travel rule she swears by, there's a girls trip thrown into chaos by one unexpected guest, and a group chat member who is about to get called out.

It’s classic Unleashed full of life "advice" and the stories you can only tell your group chat.

In your ears today: Mary Coustas, Bruna Papandrea, Cath Mahoney and guest Zoë Foster-Blake.

You can buy Zoe's book Group Chat here.

Chris Hemsworth, A Dodgy Stomach & The Plane Ride From Hell

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/5f67c002-f0e2-4216-9811-b4c9004e8cfa/transcript

We're bringing you a special divorce episode because we know so many of you are either in the messy middle of it, or have come out the other side and found some unexpected freedom (aka the silver linings amongst the heartbreak).

First up, the Unleashed hosts have done the research and found some of the wildest ex stories to prove that, whatever your ex has done, yours might not be the worst. There’s a tampon “found on the street”, a cheater who sent a Brené Brown video as an apology, and a man who took out an AVO against his own five-foot-five ex after she caught him cheating.

Sally, Ginni and Cath are the divorcees of the group, and they’re joined by Mamamia host Annaliese Todd to share their hard-earned wisdom in a very non-advice advice episode.

Ginni hired an actual dating coach and became a self-described dating maniac. Annaliese ditched her married name the second she saw it on a restaurant reservation card. And Cath wrote a memoir called Currently Between Husbands because, at the time, she didn’t know a single other divorced woman.

Because sometimes the best divorce advice is simply hearing someone else say: yep, me too.

This special episode is made possible by our friends at HBO Max. War is the hot new HBO original series on the divorce of the century streaming now only on HBO Max.

In your ears today: Ginni Mansberg, Annaliese Todd, Cath Mahoney and a special voice note from Sally Hepworth.

Cath went to the gynaecologist and came out with a story that involves stirrups, a giant screen, and a confession about waxing she did not mean to make. Sally used her own best friend as a human shield during a school egg fight. Also up for discussion is why nobody throws you a party for the last time you push a pram, and whether Gen Z has just figured out boundaries before the rest of us caught on. Plus, could Bruna win Survivor, Love Island or Australia's Next Top Model.

The New Divorce Parties & A Very Unhinged Gynaecologist Story

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/4e9896ab-cf45-4da2-b0ad-b4c800643597/transcript

Over the past two episodes, our co-host Ginni has shared the deeply personal story of her mum's decision to access voluntary assisted dying.

In this final episode, Ginni takes us through the day her mum died and what came next.

Because when all the planning is done and you've left the hospital for the last time, nobody can really prepare you for waking up the next morning and knowing the person who has been part of your life since the day you were born, is suddenly gone.

We're meeting Ginni one week later, in the messy middle of grief.

This is Part 3 of Ginni's special series. You can also listen to Part 1 and Part 2.

If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

In your ears today is Cath Mahoney, Mary Coustas and Ginni Mansberg

The Day My Mum Died: Ginni's Story Part 3

Sally's dad had chest pains, so she drove him across town... to the wrong hospital, because he wanted the nicer one. Then she ended up with actual poop on her hands walking the family dogs. Cath did a full CSI-style deep clean before a friend came to stay, and Ginni confessed she is, unsettlingly, guest-ready at all times, no cleaning frenzy required. Oh, and Bruna has given herself a new job title. Plus: the exact age science says is the unhappiest of your whole life, and why one of them is only one year off it.

In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Ginni Mansberg, Sally Hepworth and Cath Mahoney.

Why Age 47 Is The Rock Bottom Year On The Happiness Curve. Gulp.

Dr Ginni has six days left with her mum before she passes away.

As Unleashers would know, Ginni’s mum is very ill and has been for a long time. She has made the decision to choose voluntary assisted dying.

This is Part 2 of Ginni and her mum’s story, if you missed Part 1, you can listen here. 

In this episode, Ginni opens up about life with a countdown on her mum’s life. From doctors' visits and the stark reality of someone’s final days, to the complicated family dynamics that don't simply disappear when the end is near.

Because losing a parent isn't always simple. Sometimes, the person you love and admire most is also the person whose approval you've spent your whole life chasing.

If this conversation brought up hard feelings and you need some help, please call Lifeline here.

The Unleashed hosts have a movie pitch for Bruna and she is extremely underwhelmed. Georgie can't open a bottle of milk anymore without her wrist giving out. Ginni explains the real reason your jaw can seize up over something as small as a yawn. Bruna reveals her plan for the ultimate girls' commune, right down to the house rules.

Plus, the noise that apparently ends your husband's chances tonight, a retirement plan built entirely around gossip, and a listener whose almost-moment in the kitchen got a lot more attention than she wanted.
