Australia has spoken and the best cheese has officially been crowned, so naturally we go completely overboard about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve stumbled across the cutest little Aussie initiative that’s basically a coffee shop… in someone’s lounge room. Sasha has opened her home for monthly gatherings with homemade treats, all to help neighbours actually, you know, talk to each other. It’s like a neighbourhood meet-up but with cake, coffee, and zero awkward small talk—well, mostly.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we’re celebrating incredible women, from Cynthia protecting Ariana Grande at a film premiere to Jade Henderson smashing the pull-up world record and 80-year-old Natalie Grabow conquering the Ironman. We’re also checking out Saacha Neilson’s genius Living Room Cafe, bringing neighbours together over baked goods and a bit of chat. Health alert for anyone who rocked out at the Oasis gig in Sydney, keep an eye out for measles symptoms. Plus, we’ve got New Music Friday, cheesy garlic bread disasters, royal photo drama, Billie calling out Elon, Taylor Swift’s docuseries and Lady Gaga spilling the real behind-the-scenes of A Star Is Born.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Turns out if you were at the Oasis gig in Sydney last weekend and now you’ve got a fever or itchy eyeballs, it might not just be the post concert comedown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Renee Rapp has the internet losing it after Ziwe asked her what counts as an “oldie” and her answer might make you feel ancient. We dive into the dark, slightly horrifying origins of the “pinky promise,” then crank things up with 374 bagpipers rocking out to AC/DC at Fed Square. Plus, Leo shares his holy favourite films, Adele’s going Hollywood, and Elton John’s throwing tantrums again. And to top it off, our very own Mel Tracina fresh from Big Brother steps in for a wild round of Quick Draw with Joel!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nova’s own Mel Tracina ...now the brand-new host of Big Brother on Channel 10 joins us live for a round of Quick Draw! She might be running the Big Brother house, but can she handle Joel’s chaos in the studio? Let’s just say, things get competitive fast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel’s been counting down to this moment like it’s Christmas morning... the Wicked: For Good premiere. He was so nervous he had to do a “nervous wee,” then went full chaos by crushing his wine glass mid-movie. There were tears (mainly from Jack), a few Arianas in the loo, and a whole lot of green-themed fashion choices. But does the self-proclaimed biggest Wicked fan on earth actually think the movie lives up to the hype?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You’ll never look at a pinky promise the same way again. Turns out this sweet little gesture started in Japan, where breaking it meant chopping off your finger...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s show was wild. We met a bloke who got fined for pretending to be a ghost in a cemetery, then got stuck into Trump’s so-called “athlete” body stats that make Hemsworth look lazy. Ricki, Blackers and Joel sized each other up for Below Deck casting (spoiler: no one’s surviving), and The Glossys were full of chaos from Kim K roasting psychics to Ariana’s “inconclusive” kissing. Plus, the team tested their ears with misheard lyrics and found out Aussies love a live gig more than just about anything else.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The crew imagine life at sea as Below Deck opens casting calls — and things get messy fast. Ricky’s bossing the deck as bosun, Joel’s folding laundry in tears, and Blackers is just happy to play with the water toys. Plus, the gang roast each other’s work ethic, rank each other’s stew skills, and debate who’d actually last a day under Captain Sandy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The phones went off today when a cop called in to set the record straight. Turns out, back in the day, you could sip a beer while driving in Melbourne as long as you were under the limit. Chaos. From there, it was all downhill... ghost stories in cemeteries, fines for peeing in public, and one listener who flipped off a speed camera and copped a $700 bill for the trouble. Plus, Rikki’s PVC plans for Gaga, Joel’s hook turn confession, and Blackers learning the hard way what a “nanny state” really is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A wild ride of a show today! We discovered Miss Chile’s hidden Screamo talent (and Jermaine's fear of octopus), learned that Mariah Carey’s chef is slinging pizza in Bondi, and watched karma serve a Lamborghini driver instant justice. The Glossys had everything from Taylor’s alleged bridesmaid list to Orlando Bloom’s awkward Halloween and Liam Gallagher quitting the Gary Baldies. Plus, a Guinness record for world’s biggest mouth gape, a shoe mistaken for art, and one very controversial Blue Blob.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Taylor Swift’s bridesmaids list has apparently leaked and the team cannot cope. Blackers swears he's got insider WhatsApp access. Between the alleged guest list (hi Gigi and Selena) and talk of a Euro summer wedding, the speculation is wild. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miss Chile’s gone viral for belting out full-blown Screamo in the Miss World talent round, and we can’t look away.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki’s 40th birthday bash was massive, with celeb messages flooding in—including a few surprises that got everyone giggling. Blackers led a touching tribute to the late, great John Laws, sharing stories, audio gold and a bit of Lawsy wisdom. Then it was into the Mailbag, where Joel’s Neighbours career got a deep dive—stalker plots, wedding fails and all. What a show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we paused the birthday chaos to honour a true radio legend, John Laws. Blackers shared stories from his wild turkey hangover days with Lawsy and that iconic moment they spent together before his final 2SM show. Ricki and Joel looked back at his razor-sharp wit, famous feuds, and that golden voice that defined Aussie radio for seven decades. The man taught us all one thing—just listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel’s Neighbours career gets a forensic rewatch from fans after he reveals his character was a “money-laundering stalker turned wedding planner” — and Ricki-Lee vows to binge every episode. The team even go full Powerball mode listing Joel’s exact episode numbers while discovering the “Just Watch” app mid-chat. Then it turns into a 40th birthday love fest: Joel gifts Ricki-Lee a flirty sat-nav message from her car (“you know how to drive me crazy”)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We found out the Louvre’s super-secret security password, and honestly, it’s so bad it could’ve been guessed by a toddler. Then there’s Amazon, who’s stirred up chaos by mixing Easter with Christmas for a Hot Cross Pudding you didn’t know you needed. We also copped the scoop on a free ARIA-themed ice cream pop-up with flavours inspired by Aussie music legends (Troye-Senberry Sivan, anyone?). Kim Kardashian’s new legal drama got roasted harder than a Bunnings snag, and to top it all off, we dove into the wildest story of the day: a marriage ruined by a too big package. You’ll never look at Coke cans the same way again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A TikToker has revealed her marriage ended because her husband’s “package” was literally too big to handle. We’re talking two Coke cans stacked on top of each other big.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
