Sare is joined by our next guest host, reality TV star Jake Ellis! From The Bachelor to Bachelor in Paradise, Jake spills on his time in the reality TV world, how he earned the nickname "Jake the Snake," and what life is really like behind the cameras.

Then, we take a hard left into dairy drama. 🥛 Are we all lactose intolerant? Why do some people chug milk like it’s nothing while others turn into human fog machines? Sare breaks down the science while Jake (barely) keeps up.

Expect reality TV tea, questionable dairy takes, and plenty of laughs in this one!

Brett McCallum is back as a guest host, and he’s on a mission—to live to 100. The only problem? He’s never even heard of Blue Zones, the magical places where people regularly hit triple digits without turning into cranky old hermits.

In this episode of The Bare Facts, Sare breaks down the secrets of these longevity hotspots—Okinawa, Sardinia, Nicoya, Ikaria, and Loma Linda—where people somehow live longer without fad diets, gym memberships, or stress-induced meltdowns. From Ikigai (aka having a reason to wake up in the morning) to drinking just enough red wine to stay alive but not regret your life choices, we explore what actually keeps these people thriving.

Can Brett ditch the carnivore diet and start ageing backwards? Or will he realise that living to 100 means 40 more years of emails? Tune in to find out!

This week, Sare’s boss Brett McCallum has decided he’s not just running the company—he’s auditioning for the role of Dumb AF cohost. And what better way to kick things off than with a Dumb As Fact inspired by his own book: Are Kids Born Assholes, or Are They Taught to Be Assholes?

We tackle one of life’s biggest debates: Is nature or nurture more important? But in true Dumb AF fashion, things quickly spiral into absolute chaos.

From parenting philosophies to the profound role of condiments in life (seriously, we all have our favourites), we somehow find our way back to the science of what really shapes us—our DNA, our upbringing, or just a deep love for mayonnaise?

We break it down with 3 case studies:
🧬 The Jim Twins – Separated at birth, lived eerily identical lives, proving nature might just be in the driver’s seat.
🔪 Jeffrey Dahmer – Was he born a monster, or did his environment push him over the edge?
🚕 The London Taxi Driver Test (AKA "The Knowledge") – How memorizing thousands of street routes actually reshaped their brains, proving nurture might have the final say.

By the end, we think we have an answer… but also, we now know way too much about Brett’s deep passion for sauces. 🥫

We’re breaking time itself as we investigate whether we’re as far away in time from Ancient Rome as the Romans were from Ancient Egypt. Prepare for mind-blowing history facts, a quiz that may or may not expose Jarrod’s lack of historical knowledge, and a wild ride through the weirdest connections between these two ancient powerhouses.

Did the Romans really visit the pyramids like tourists? Was Cleopatra closer in time to the iPhone than to the pyramids? Which modern invention would totally freak out a time-traveling Roman? And what did the Egyptians invent that the Romans stole? (Spoiler: all of the above!)

So, is history just one big time warp? Tune in and find out!

Does sugar really turn kids into hyperactive little tornadoes, or is it just a sweet, sweet lie? In this episode of The Dumb AF Podcast, Sare Bare is joined by former NRL player Jarrod Wallace to tackle one of the biggest parenting myths out there—does sugar actually make kids go wild?From the infamous blue fairy floss “power-up” video to decades of research that says otherwise, we break down the science, the psychology, and why kids seem to lose their minds at birthday parties. Plus, Jarrod gives his own predictions (spoiler: he’s not buying it), and we explore what really fuels kids’ energy levels.Is sugar the villain, or are we all just looking for something to blame? Tune in for the truth, some laughs, and a few shocking surprises along the way!
