In 2014, 28-year-old German tourist Lars Mittank ran out of a Bulgarian airport, left all his belongings behind, and vanished into the forest—never to be seen again. In this episode, Ollie and Ro try to crack the code on one of the internet’s strangest disappearances.

an update on restless
Ollie got punched in the face, Ro is questioning the future of QR-coded gravestones, and somewhere in Brisbane, a high school teacher is actually identifying as a cat. This week, we unpack why Ollie got randomly decked outside a bar (hint: men are fragile), whether Kourtney Kardashian’s teenage son secretly has a kid, and if spy agencies are really out here advertising espionage jobs on LinkedIn. Plus, MAFS contestant Marina claims the show used AI to make her fluent in Italian—so is reality TV even real anymore? Is avoiding people in public the healthiest decision you can make? And what the hell is happening to Ollie’s brain post-concussion? Welcome back to Restless.
Uni: a place where you either thrive or just barely survive. Ollie and Rojan break down the good, the bad, and the completely unnecessary parts of higher education. From cursed professors to the mystery of mature-age students, we cover it all—including why networking might actually be a scam. Also, should you date someone from your tutorial? (No.) And why is Ollie STILL mad about his journalism degree? This episode is sponsored by Afterpay!
Ollie’s spiralling because his influencer-era is over—seven months of “creative freedom” (a.k.a. unemployment) have come to an end, and now he’s staring down the barrel of corporate life. Ro, meanwhile, is deep in the science of why starving men crave curvy women (turns out, evolution is just as messy as modern dating). Elsewhere, Ollie embarrasses himself by DMing his TikTok twin (who is not responding), Drake is lurking around Australia throwing money at pretty women, and Ro is questioning if using a brown emoji when you’re white is a subtle crime.
Ollie and Ro bring theirbetter (and hotter) halves, Nadia and Louis, onto the pod for aValentine’s Day meltdown. Right away, it’s chaos—Louisdefends his honor overThe McDonald’s Incident, Ro confesses toreading his diary, and Ollie’sweird sock habit gets exposed.Then, arelationship quiz puts Ollie and Ro to the test—turns out,one couple is in sync, and the other is in trouble. They debatewho’s pettier, whetherforcing your partner to dress better is a crime, and whyLouis almost got expelled for having dreadlocks.And then—a wild listener confession about a psychiatrist offeringcoke at a party. Is your therapist allowed to party?We get into it.
Ollie and Rojan are laying out all the dirt on anxious attachments, dark family secrets, and even a kitchen knife confession that'll knock you sideways. We're calling out nepotism, calling our own bullshit, and yeah, even dragging Ro's Dad into the madness—yogurt in the ocean, anyone?
Ollie says we need to change the date. Rojan spills on The McDonald’s Betrayal, featuring late-night nuggets, a boyfriend meltdown, and a soda water crime scene. They also Curly Lewis Arson Fiasco (junkies, firebombs, wrong address—classic), and Ollie’s new Pokémon obsession that’s ruining his life. Plus, the Ryan Reynolds vs. Justin Baldoni PR War gets spicy, and Rojan decorates the studio with Shrek mugs and dodgy online finds.
Ollie and Rojan dive headfirst into the universe with Dr. Kirsten Banks, astrophysicist, and professional space yapper. The crew gets their minds blown as Kirsten breaks down black holes that eat way more than they should, the infinite weirdness of dark matter, and why Venus melts everything that touches it. Spoiler: Saturn’s not walkable, but it’s still cool. Rojan goes wild over meteors, Ollie tries to figure out if aliens are watching us (probably not), and the group explores parallel universes, spaghettification, and why the Milky Way is basically a giant pizza. Turns out the universe has a wicked sense of humor, and Kirsten’s here to prove it. It’s part science lesson, part existential crisis, and 100% chaos as the gang unpacks why Earth might just be the lamest tourist spot for aliens. .
Ollie admits he’s a Taoist (kinda?), Ro survives a Jewish wedding (sweat, chairs, and no one knows why), and Albo’s out here waging war on beach cabanas like he’s got nothing better to do. We dive into insane wedding traditions (why are grooms in Korea getting smacked with fish?), cringe confessions (hello, pocket pussy disaster), and Ollie accidentally texts his boss about beetroot. Also, gender reveal burnouts are a thing, and they’re as dumb as they sound.
Rojan rolls into the studio wearing a bubble skirt that Ollie says looks like “a nappy rolled into a dress,” while he’s flexing mismatched socks and an Australia Day hat no one asked for. Fashion? Dead on arrival. They roast family Christmases—forced bonding, random lunch guests, and Persian-ified traditions (right after Ollie accidentally calls Rojan Serbian—he’s lucky to still be alive). The Ins and Outs List gets wild: bubble skirts are IN, run clubs and P Diddy are OUT, and doomscrolling can die already. It’s festive, dysfunctional, and full of bad takes. 🎄
Ollie and Ro welcome Tim Abbott—meme king, podcast fan, and self-invited guest who slid into the guest seat like he owned it. The crew revisits the heated barefoot-in-the-office debate (spoiler: it’s still gross), unpacks Lily Philips’ wild plan to bed 1,000 dudes in a day, and bond over their mutual beef with radicalised Swifties. Tim also opens up about his restless energy, the highs and lows of the online world, and the struggle of pretending to adult while staying true to his chaos.
Ollie hates toes, Ro defends demonic vibes, and somewhere in there, we accidentally solve Australia’s housing crisis (not really). We unpack the CEO killer drama—hero or psycho?—while reminiscing about millennial childhood trauma and screaming about Birkenstock stains. Plus, the ultimate debate: toes in the office—freedom or felony?
Ollie kicks things off with Baby Chino, a song so weird Ro demands it becomes a TikTok trend. They dive into Aussie slang drama—apparently, calling someone “champ” is the ultimate insult—and Ollie flexes his nerdy superpower by naming every U.S. president. Ro interrupts a lot (classic), but they somehow pull off an improv.
Grandpa Joe hits 300 years old, and we still can’t figure out how to turn off his machine. Ollie spirals into TikTok jealousy and Rojan admits to being an Instagram-blocking, journal-reading psycho back in her relationship rookie days. We talk Love Is Blind Habibie and how one man lost his girl to belly dancing. Plus, Katy Perry ruins a mum’s life, a sex doll causes a roadside scandal, and why Aussie music has gone to shit.
What would you prefer: real c*nt or fake nice? Would you actually like yourself if you met you? And what’s the deal with armrests on planes? Ollie shares the tragic tale of his Stan audition and reveals why he’s probably not winning an Oscar anytime soon.
Another ep in the bank. Follow us on TikTok and Instagram @restless.pod! Kiss hug x
Ollie asks Ro if she scored $2 million from his scratchy, would she share? Ro discusses into her “engagement ring nightmare,” laying down some brutal ground rules: no Gollum-inspired, medieval vibes, please. Ollie accuses Ro of letting one rip in the office kitchen. Ro’s got a defense ready (“squeaky shoes”), but Ollie’s dead-set on exposing her. They spiral into a TikTok black hole, dissecting the “Muslim Undertaker” and casually discussing life after death.
Ro's a blood-sucking vampire, Ollie's a Soprano, and it’s the chaotic Halloween special. We try the Dua Lipa pickle drink (tastes like a Big Mac?), Ollie’s dead Papa drops in for a ghostly beatdown, and Ro’s plant spontaneously combusts – or was it a glitch in the matrix? Spooky stories, jalapeño juice, and self-love confessions. Happy Halloween, degenerates.
Ollie kicks off by comparing his “punchable face” to Ro’s .While Ro calls out his mysterious weight loss phase (spoiler: gastritis). Ollie recounts his dollhouse creation during Nadia’s birthday celebration—creepy or cute? Ro isn’t sure. A listener confesses to stealing from their own girlfriend, blaming it on an innocent housemate, leaving Ollie spiraling into a rant about childhood theft.
