TGIM, betch. Add 'renovator' to Joel's illustrious career portfolio, and we ask our listeners for any tips as he and Jack go through their next journey together. Ricki's got a hangover stat that makes sense as to why your mates don't get hangovers. More annoying Meghan content in Mailbag. Rob Irwin isn't happy about an AI-generated photo of him and…

Ever woken up feeling like roadkill after a night out, only to see your mate bounce out of bed like nothing happened? There's a scientific reason some people can party hard and wake up fine — and no, it's not just "lining the stomach." We unpack the wild truth behind hangover immunity... and why it’s probably not you. See omnystudio.com/listener fo…

Okay, I think this entire podcast summary should be dedicated to Joel's incredible performance in our new Wicked game where has to relate 5 topics to Wicked... and he bloody nailed it! You're gonna really be blown away by this! Oh, and some guy wore the funniest shirt to court. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

We opened the chat (literally) on AI relationships after a bloke in the UK admitted he was in love with his flirty chatbot “Soul” and had a full breakdown when she hit her word limit and reset. Naturally, that led us to Tim… and his suspiciously close relationship with Maple, the AI assistant living in his phone. See omnystudio.com/listener for pri…

Okay, today was biggggg. Too big four you. After a game of state tennis, Ricki has an awful stat about pillowcases (baby, chuck them things in the wash ASAP). Where in the world is David Woiwod after interviewing Dom Dolla & Brad Pitt? Oh, he's chatting to us. We talk Albo's height compared to the rest of the world leaders. A couple got their roman…

We finally tracked down Weekend Sunrise's golden boy David Woiwod, and where was he? Oh, just casually interviewing Brad Pitt on a New York red carpet, no biggie. After a dramatic on-air disappearance (we knew that "assignment" was sus), Woiwod confessed all: yes, the abs are real, yes, Brad’s carved from marble, and yes, we now want to be David’s …

Oh hey betch! Here's what we're doing on this Tuesday.....An influencer did the absolute worst and brought hard-boiled eggs on a plane to make a salad. Someone reckons sightseeing is overrated. Brad is being so hot on the red carpet. Ricki reckons Trump would make a good gay and a cool girl did a really cool girl trick. See omnystudio.com/listener …

Turns out Pope Leo the 14th might have the wildest family tree in history. According to The New York Times, His Holiness is distantly related to a bunch of Canadian-connected cousins — and we’re talking Madonna, Justin Bieber, Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, Jack Kerouac, and both Trudeaus (Pierre and Justin). See omnystudio.com/listener for priva…

Ever washed your hands in a public urinal? Get ready, because today's show is that hectic. Ricki announces an exciting first in her career and we couldn't be more proud of her. Our Mailbag exposes the photography skills of one of our listeners, and some shocking truth behind Joel's sexuality. Some tourists fark the art of Van Gogh. And how old is t…

We opened the lines for juicy workplace drama and our callers absolutely delivered. Jess revealed her office has a rogue teaspoon thief — they bought 50 and are down to TWO. Liz from the hospital said it’s not just the scrubs getting dirty… there’s been a full-blown nurse–doctor affair happening on the night shift. And then there was Mildred, who c…

Our big girl has officially snagged her first ever TV WEEK Logie nomination and we are beaming like a proud Loretta. She’s up for the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter, and honestly, if you’re not voting, what are you even doing? Joel gave her literal flowers, and now all that’s left is for Australia to vote (all 23 categories, no skippi…

Ooooooh, it's getting spooky today! Happy Friday the 13th. To give you an unexpected BOO, Ricki takes us through the worst snoring sounds found online. Travis Kelce's brother reacts to a very spooooky tattoo from a fan. Joel gives us his spoooooky review of his night at Katy Perry. And, what's your cigarette? Don't worry, it will make spooky sense …

Joel went to Katy Perry’s Melbourne concert and is now a certified KatyCat (but with Eurovision credentials). He described the show as “one of the most hectic things” he’s ever seen — and loved every second of it. From butterfly flights to lightsaber battles and bizarre interludes about Australia’s great parks, Joel was captivated by Katy’s chaotic…
  continue reading
 
Snoring? It's not just a nighttime issue — it's a full-blown audio event. We dove headfirst into the snorecore scene, from post-party chainsaw impersonations to gentle whimpers that sound more like badminton rallies. Joel screams in his sleep (of course), Ricki and Rich sleep silently like vampires, and Tim came armed with an entire snore soundboar…

Joel is absolutely buzzing because he's seeing Katy Perry tonight, and yes, he reminded us roughly 27 times. Between Joel’s KP countdown, we covered a woman in scrubs who was mistaken for a doctor (when she’s really injecting lips for a living). Tim also launched a full attack on Ricki’s habit of leaving her luggage unpacked for days, if not weeks.…

Ben Lee drops by for a Quick Draw showdown and proves he’s still as zen and cheeky as ever. With 20 years of Awake Is the New Sleep under his belt, Ben reflects on music, meaning, and why backing tracks are ruining the vibes. Did he care about winning? Not really. Hornballs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

And today's podcast copy is brought to you by an actual human, considering ChatGPT is down. More on that in the show. Fan of Breaking Bad? Wait until you see what the owner of the house did to a bunch of YouTubers. Katy Perry's marriage is apparently on the rocks and we delve deep into that in the Glossys. And Joel bought the most un-Joel thing fro…

We dived headfirst into PR relationships today during Glossys — and let’s just say the tea is boiling. Glen Powell’s ex has basically confirmed that his whole flirty thing with Sydney Sweeney was staged for the cameras. A PR stunt! Suddenly every “are they or aren’t they” moment in Hollywood looks a little sus. Plus, we drops a not-so-blind item ab…

This couple took “treat yourself” to a whole new level — Paul and Lynn Montoya from Wyoming sold literally everything they owned (yes, even the couch) to live on a cruise ship for 15 years. They were so rattled about not having travelled much beyond the Caribbean and Canada, they yeeted their whole life for a $1.8 million floating mid-life reset. W…

Doosh! Today's show was packed as, and full of chicken! We recap quite possibly Katy Perry's worst tour date so far with a mishap that happened in Sydney. In Glossys, we have hints that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may have tied the knot. We then put the blind mayo debate to the test... which one is the best? We then try Ricki's online find... cav…

It’s the ultimate condiment showdown as the team dives headfirst into a blind mayo taste test. Ricky passionately defends Hellmann’s, Tim backs Best Foods with suspicious confidence, and Joel picks Kewpie. Chicken tenders flew, mayo got slandered, and everyone pretended this was a scientific experiment. In the end, only one spread could reign supre…

Just when you thought the chicken vs egg debate was scrambled, the team’s moved on to a juicier scientific bombshell: is water even wet? Turns out, some scientists reckon it’s not... and that’s sent Ricki, Tim and Joel into a full existential meltdown. Wetness is a feeling, apparently. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Welcome to another episode of the Testing Peers Podcast. On this episode, Chris, Simon and David are joined by first time co-host Rachel Kibler. The Peers discuss the topic of making work visible. David starts us off with the banter on the topic of fashion mistakes, everything from dress down fridays to bright shirts being used as a prank. David al…

Happy King’s Birthday, king! We kicked things off with a viral bride who said “no gifts, just goss” and honestly... go off, king. Baz Luhrmann took centre stage in the King’s Birthday Honours and walked away with a Companion of the Order of Australia — yass, cinematic royalty king! We couldn’t help but cringe as we revisited a very loooong Baz answ…

It’s Joel’s Superbowl... the Tony Awards, baby! Broadway’s night of nights delivered drama, vocals, and plenty of Aussie pride. Sarah Snook scored Best Actress for her one-woman powerhouse performance in The Picture of Dorian Gray, while Cynthia Erivo hosted the show like the queen she is, belting Dreamgirls and squeezing in 47 costume changes. Nic…

Our Mailbag segment took a wild turn when Today Show reporter Jack Hahn popped into the studio and absolutely shocked Ricki-Lee. Just as we were unpacking listener DMs, bargain bin sightings of Ricki’s album, and a cheeky remix rave review, in walks the man who “floated away like a plastic bag” on national TV. Jack’s surprise visit had Ricki convin…

Today we learned that Melbourne Airport is getting its own reality show and Joel is fuming he didn’t get the hosting gig — someone get Network 10 on the line, stat. Science has finally settled the age-old debate: the chicken definitely came first, thanks to a very specific protein. We also dove into some messy billionaire beef between Trump and Elo…

Diddy reckons the courtroom sketch artist did him dirty — demanding they “soften him up” after claiming he looked like a koala bear. A Harry Potter star is heading back to Hogwarts (well, Broadway) to reprise their role in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. And Simone Biles has officially called out Kylie Jenner’s fashion label after a so-called “X…

Guy Montgomery dropped by for Quick Draw and nearly gave us a spelling-induced stroke — but not before getting compared to Taylor Swift (it’s his era, betch). Things got heated as he took on RickI in a match so tense, our smartwatches told us to breathe. Guy backed himself hard, but in a twist as wild as a Sex and the City reboot, RickI clawed her …
  continue reading
 
On today's show, it turns out blokes do like each other’s outfits – they’re just silently complimenting you with a nod and a high five instead of using actual words. Joel gives his expert (and emotional) take on the brand-new Wicked trailer, while Miley signs a vinyl for a Liam and we all collectively raise an eyebrow. Chris Martin and Dakota Johns…

Katy Perry fed tigers at Sydney Zoo last night because apparently she doesn’t do room service. Meanwhile, Ricki-Lee put Tim and Joel through their paces with words from the Spelling Bee after a 13-year-old genius won it all by typing on an invisible keyboard. Trump’s iPhone lock screen is still his own face from 2019, and we’re not sure what’s more…

Celebrity chef Matt Moran joined us to chat all things stock, steak and… toilets? Yep, turns out Tim uses Aria’s loo like it’s his own ensuite. We grilled Matt on lazy dinners, his very real hatred of steak marinades, and his surprisingly relatable boiled egg snack. Head to our Wednesday show podcast to hear him play Whisper Challenge! See omnystud…

In today's Glossys, Kylie Jenner has finally given the boob-obsessed fans what they wanted: the full CC rundown on her implants — 445cc, silicone, and sitting pretty. Arnie told his son Patrick he got more than he bargained for during The White Lotus, while George Clooney is missing his greys as he wraps up his Broadway run. Plus, Post Malone is br…

Gym braggers, lazy dinners, and topless swimming in Berlin? What a show. Joel and producer Georgie wouldn't shut up about their gym session, so naturally we opened the phones to out every humblebragger in your life. We also revealed our go-to lazy dinners (spoiler: there were a lot of crackers and cheese involved). Plus, women in Berlin can now dit…

Buckle up, betch, because Ricki just delivered some wild truths about drinking mid-flight. You absorb alcohol faster in the air, your champagne might taste flat, and that Bloody Mary you're sipping could legally be happening "in Ireland" while flying over Iran. Most airlines sneakily weaken your mini bottles and ban you from opening duty-free booze…
