his week on Sensory Overload, Bill Barker is joined by Aussie TikTok star Gabbi Whipps for an episode that proves chaos can be healing.

It’s unhinged, honest, and full of moments that’ll make you laugh and then say “wait, that’s too real.”

how my sexuality almost took my life

This episode is sponsored by dating app Feeld, the dating app for open minded individuals. Download the Feeld app here now! 🥰 ➼ https://feeld.onelink.me/TRZt/sensory


In this raw and powerful episode, Billy opens up about his coming out story. The messy, traumatic, and transformative journey of embracing his sexuality after being outed. This isn’t a polished Hollywood version of “coming out.” It’s real, unfiltered, and deeply personal.

From the fear, shame, and silence before coming out, to the challenges that followed, Billy shares how sexuality shapes identity, relationships, and self-worth. He reflects on the struggles queer people still face today- rejection, discrimination, bullying, internalised shame, and lack of representation and why visibility matters more than ever.

But this episode isn’t just about struggle, it’s also about solutions. Billy highlights what we all can do to create safer, more supportive spaces for the LGBTQ+ community: listening without judgment, breaking down stigma, and showing up with compassion.

"my bf sent me his ex's sex tape"- am i overreacting?

Is it drama… or is it valid? 👀 In this episode of Sensory Overload, Billy dives into the wildest “Am I Overreacting?” scenarios sent in by listeners and trust me, they’re next level.

We’re talking:

  • An ex literally showing someone a sex tape with their ex (yes, really).

  • A girl lying about her age to someone’s boyfriend, so the girlfriend turned up to her work.

  • And my own story about going on a date with my actual stalker… and threatening to out him for it.

From messy relationships to boundary-crossing moments, I break down whether these reactions were “too much” or totally justified and what they say about how we deal with love, trust, and chaos in 2025.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “am I overreacting?” after a fight, a breakup, or a situationship gone wrong, this episode is for you.
