What's Going On There?
“What’s Going On There?” is the segment where nothing—and no one—is safe. From the downright bizarre to the everyday annoyances, we’re calling it all out. Ugg boots in public? On notice. Snakes where they shouldn’t be? On notice. Questionable drivers, fake nurses, dodgy advertisers—if it’s weird, frustrating, or just plain ridiculous, it’s getting dragged. Expect unfiltered banter, plenty of laughs, and a rotating list of suspects who’ve caught our attention this week. If it makes you say “what’s going on there?”… it’s fair game.

Wax On, Wax Off: Life in a Beauty Salon with Tina Roberts
In this hilarious and brutally honest episode, the lads sit down with ex-beauty salon owner Tina Roberts, who spent more than 30 years building a booming salon business from the ground up. Starting at just 22 years old with a tiny 23m² shop and $90-a-week rent, Tina worked 70-hour weeks, washed every towel herself, and never turned away a client. Along the way she collected some unbelievable stories—from awkward first waxing appointments and weekly cross-dressing makeovers to nearly attempting a Guinness World Record for bikini waxes in an hour. But beyond the laughs, Tina shares the mindset that helped turn a small beauty salon into a financial success. With a lucky break from a supportive landlord, she bought the building, expanded the business, and began investing in inner-city Brisbane property—using smart strategies to build wealth while eventually scaling back to just eight hours of work a week so she could focus on raising her kids. After selling the salon 18 months ago, Tina still owns the building and now spends her time raising teenagers and renovating houses—another passion she’s turned into a project. It’s a cracking chat full of wild salon stories, business lessons, and proof that sometimes the perfect career finds you when you least expect it Follow, Like, Comment, Feedback — do it all. 📸 Instagram – @cluelessogabigpaully 📧 Email – ogaandbigpaully@gmail.com 🌐 Website – https://rss.com/podcasts/clueless-with-oga-and-big-paully/
