This episode with Paula Cortes dives into the real side of growing up, motherhood, and becoming who you’re meant to be when life doesn’t follow the plan. Paula opens up about returning to work after having a child, the pressure women face to “do it all,” building confidence, learning to ask for help, and how being a single mother is often misunderstood.
We also talk about love, dating in today’s world, and the kind of self-reflection that forces you to stop and ask, “Am I actually happy?” A real, relatable conversation filled with honesty, growth, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Why are so many Australians losing trust in the government and the media? Journalist Scobie McKay from Whatsdoinmedia joins us to break down the rise of conspiracy culture, how lockdowns changed Australia forever, and why so many young Aussies feel lost in 2025.

We also talk about the “Aussie aesthetic”, nostalgia behind anti-immigration debates, and the youth crisis no one wants to admit.

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. And of course, we're putting our morals to the test with a game that'll have you side-eyeing your own friends.
