About this episode

The episode explores mental health, ranks top lesbians, and features an interview with an Olympic athlete sharing wild stories.

Did we get it wrong from the start? Gareth Cliff and Leigh-Ann Mol kick things off by unpacking why people cling to unnecessary memories instead of holding onto the small bits of good that actually matter. Dr Hanan joins the conversation as the team asks a bold question: in a world where everyone is self-diagnosed as depressed or anxious, where did all the actual crazy people go? Things take a chaotic turn as the crew ranks the Top 10 lesbians purely on who looks the part — fashion, energy, and unapologetic confidence all count. And finally, Matt C Smith sits down to share his journey to the Olympics, including some unforgettable and slightly wild stories from inside the Olympic Village.
