Apparently You Can Injure Yourself By Yawning. This Is Getting Ridiculous

September 7, 2026 · 42 min

Show notes

The Unleashed hosts have a movie pitch for Bruna and she is extremely underwhelmed. Georgie can't open a bottle of milk anymore without her wrist giving out. Ginni explains the real reason your jaw can seize up over something as small as a yawn. Bruna reveals her plan for the ultimate girls' commune, right down to the house rules.

Plus, the noise that apparently ends your husband's chances tonight, a retirement plan built entirely around gossip, and a listener whose almost-moment in the kitchen got a lot more attention than she wanted.

In your ears today: Bruna Papandrea, Ginni Mansberg, Georgie Page and Cath Mahoney.
