Ep 28: POST Parasite Cleanse & Posture with Callan Krause



In this episode of IRL with Ellie & Ross, we’re back with Callan from Corrective Culture — the man behind the parasite cleanse that had us quite literally shitting our backs out. 💩


Ellie’s diving into round two (yep, liver flukes are that stubborn 🪱), Ross wants to know why some people breeze through while others feel like death, and we unpack why gut health, posture, stress, and even your hormones are way more connected than anyone’s telling you.


From period wins and parasite horror stories to instant posture hacks you can do at your desk... this one’s equal parts gross, hilarious, and genuinely life-changing.


If you’ve ever wondered whether parasites are real, if your posture is screwing with your mood, or if your sugar habit is secretly feeding something you don’t want to know about… this episode is for you.

Ep 24: "The Real Reason I Left Hollywood"

On the tail end of Ellie sharing her opinion on the recent allegations in regard to Jared Leto published by Airmail, Ellie shares some of the real reasons she walked away from living in Hollywood – after years of being invited to “meetings” that turned into grooming setups, being groped by a powerful CEO, and watching agencies knowingly feed young talent into the machine, she decided enough was enough.

Ep 21: Is the OnlyFans Dream Just a Scam in Disguise?

This week on IRL with Ellie & Ross, we’re tearing down the façade of the OnlyFans fantasy. It’s sold as freedom — a fast track to money, confidence, and control. But behind the over glamorization is a much darker reality: emotional labour, digital footprints you can’t erase, and survival masked as empowerment.


We’re talking about the marketing machine that funnels this world straight to teens — how sex work is glamorized on social media, and how big brands are now using sex workers from these platforms to target their youngest fans. Is it really about choice… or are we just normalizing something no one’s ready for? Because let’s be clear: there’s a difference between liberation — and survival.


In this episode:

  • ​ The truth behind the “easy money” myth and how much the majority REALLY make (it will shock you) 
  • ​ Mental health, regrets, and permanent digital footprints
  • ​ How OF people target minors and brands cash in
  • ​ Impact on relationships and expectations
  • ​ Should adult content be advertised to teens?
  • ​ Listener poll: Would you date someone on OnlyFans?
  • ​ Liberation vs. survival disguised as empowerment

EP 19: Filthy Rich & Homeless – Ellie’s Wake-Up Call

From sleeping rough to raising $10k – how 10 days on the streets shattered Ellie’s beliefs… and changed her life forever.


What happens when a model and reality TV star agrees to give up everything – no phone, no wallet, no help – and live on the streets for 10 days? In this emotional episode, Ellie shares the brutal truth behind her time on SBS’s Filthy Rich & Homeless… and the moment everything she thought she knew about homelessness crumbled.


Dropped 100km from Sydney with nothing but a sleeping bag, Ellie slept rough, begged for food, met a trans woman living in a playground, and was placed in a domestic violence shelter with women escaping horrific abuse. She even ended up in a cockroach-infested boarding house with nine men – and chose to sleep in a park instead.


But it wasn’t just the conditions that broke her. It was the emotional and heartbreaking stories that were shared from people living through this crisis.

Ross and Ellie unpack it all: the fear, the stereotypes, the stories that stuck, and the $10,000 Ellie raised afterward to help change one woman’s life.


“This isn’t just a housing crisis. It’s a humanity crisis.”


Press play – this one will change how you see the world.

Ep 10: IRL Conversations: What’s Driving Us Crazy, What’s Giving Us Hope & How We Focus & Reset

In this first episode of IRL “Conversations”, Ellie and Ross discuss “What’s Driving them Crazy, What’s Giving them Hope & How they Focus and Reset” 


Ellie and Ross dive into the everyday annoyances that as Ross likes to say are ‘Grinding his gears’ and Ellie flat out says are ‘Pissing her off’ — like why tipping before service feels like a scam and whether donation prompts at checkout are actual charity or just corporate greed in disguise.


They also question the expectations of weddings (should your friends really go broke for YOUR big day?) and calling out the relentless sports betting ads targeting young, vulnerable audiences.


But don’t worry, we’re not all doom and gloom. From the rise of health-conscious living to the de-influencing movement (they’re calling BS on fake Instagram ads), there’s plenty to feel hopeful about.


Topics We Cover:

• Why tipping before service is wrong.

• Charitable donations or corporate guilt trips—what’s really happening at checkout?

• Bachelor and Bachelorette party boundaries: strippers, escorts, and the line that gets crossed because “it’s just what you do”

• Why sports betting ads are manipulative

• Is the influencer/celebrity culture finally on its way out?
