It’s just Mary and Caleb on this week's episode of Unserious with Liz away - which is appropriate because apparently everyone else is as well? Why is every person you know in Europe right now? They also get into the latest trend on social media, which is the ‘Netflix Documentary’ that we all are inevitably going to be in about our workplaces and how toxic they are - but are there going to be repercussions for those putting these videos out into the world? Finally they get to touch on friendship breakups and how they can be more painful than a romantic breakup, that is if they can agree on if it’s a man vs woman thing in the first place.

Plus: Caleb calls for "Singapore-style" punishment for people who don't return shopping trolleys, and Mary shares her literal park trauma after a teenager on an e-bike made a highly unhinged comment about her Chihuahua.
