We love men! A man has confessed to cheating on his girlfriend only moments before proposing to her, and for many years prior. But it doesn’t count right because it only counts once you put a ring on it. Anyway! We also give an update on Bonza airlines and the crazy bonza banana news that it’s gone into administration, plus we talk all about an Aussie kid who is now a millionaire after successful fishing trip.

Kate shares that narcissists and sociopaths are more likely to make you feel like there’s a spark between the two of you and it’s how they suck you in. Yikes. Stay safe out there love birds.
