2025 felt like a blur — but the Bondi attack forced us to stop and really reflect.
In this episode, we unpack how the Bondi tragedy affected us personally, why it felt so close to home, and whether we’ve actually processed what happened — or just moved on too quickly. From there, the conversation opens up into bigger questions about 2025, self-growth, relationships, engagement timelines, and why working on yourself is one of the biggest luxuries we have.
We also look ahead to 2026 — the optimism, the fear, the rise of AI, and whether the world is heading in the right direction or something far more unsettling.

This week on Talking Trophies, we pulled up to the August 31st march to see what the energy was really like on the ground. We're breaking down what we saw, the message behind the protest, and asking the real question: was this protest valid or performative?
We also get into the heavy conversation around the so-called "cop killer" and the complex layers behind the story.
Then, we lighten the mood. Damo is coming through with a controversial late-night take: do pancakes and bacon just hit different after dark? You already know the chat is about to be unhinged.
