Then, we dive into the weird world of celebrity real names—you won’t believe what Natalie Portman’s real name actually is. Spoiler: it’s got us shook. Next, it’s all about daddy baddies. We unpack the story of a podcaster who turned her rebellious dad’s ashes into a marijuana plant, took a puff, and made grieving sound oddly... productive? Later, Ava Max drops by to chat wigs, baklava, and Christmas bangers. Plus, find out why CSIRO wants you to track your farts in the name of science. (Yes, really.)

The CSIRO is getting seriously scientific about your gas! Australia’s national science agency wants YOU to help track gut health by documenting the smell, sound, and duration of your farts through their free “Chart Your Fart” app. The aim?

Today’s show is packed with the bizarre, the boozy, and some truly unforgettable stories! First, we dive into a wild fact from Russia—turns out, they used to call beer a “soft drink” and give it to kids. Yep, there’s a whole story behind that. And speaking of beer, we check in on a 100-year-old woman from Perth who says the secret to her long life is her daily pint! New Music Friday brings some heat, but nothing quite as unexpected as the news of a Bon Jovi and Pitbull It’s My Life remix. Love it or hate it, it’s happening! Then, we get into signature moves—some legendary, some… regrettable. Russell Crowe’s got one that actually earned him a punch to the face! Plus, we reveal the science behind why plants scream when they’re cut (seriously), and how one bar in Belgium is tackling theft by holding patrons’ shoes hostage until closing time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s show is off the rails! First up, we’re talking about a woman who gave birth right in the middle of a Sing 2 screening—no one expected that kind of drama in the cinema! Then, we welcome Aussie DJ Cyril to the studio. He spills on his wild year, from a messy fall at Tomorrowland (involving dubstep and a bit too much ketamine) to being nominated for an ARIA.

Next, we dive into a hilarious typo out of Kansas where a missing hyphen led to a high school being praised for giving students “first hand job experience.” Not quite what they meant! Then we tackle a quirky study about high pain tolerance and psychopathic tendencies, which has Joel convinced he’s a certified psychopath now (no surprises there).

Mattel’s got some explaining to do after a link on the back of their new Wicked dolls led parents to a very unexpected website! In a surprising (and awkward) error, the back of the Elphaba and Glinda dolls included a URL that didn’t go where Mattel intended. Outraged parents were quick to notice and raise concerns online.

Today’s show goes deep, betch! We kick off with a hole lot of drama—a woman working from home got fired after her company tracked her keystrokes, catching her in a major plot hole! Fair play, or is it digging too deep? Then, it’s an emotional farewell as John Laws signs off for the last time. Tim gets into some classic Laws moments, with Laws leaving a hole in the world of radio that won’t soon be filled. It’s also New Music Friday, and we’ve got all the tracks you need to fill that weekend playlist hole. Plus, in a hilarious mix-up, a charity shop accidentally displayed a set of buttplugs in the window. Let’s just say, they didn’t mean to show that kind of hole to the world! We wrap up with Tim’s Word Alarm and chat with our Caller of the Week, plugging the hole with laughs and the best moments from this week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s show dives into the unexpected and the downright petty, betch! First, we reveal the Collins Word of the Year, and trust us—it’s a twist no one saw coming. Next, we share some of the tiniest (but weirdly satisfying) coincidences from yesterday, including run-ins with the TV show Beef. Then, it’s time to confess your petty side! One pizza shop took “extra hot” to the extreme by setting a pizza on actual fire for a customer request. Spicy, right? In Glossys, Chris Martin of Coldplay fame made waves by casually ignoring the strict dress code at the MCG. Rule breaker or rockstar? We’ll let you decide! And finally, Take That joins us in the studio for a round of Quick Draw. Gary Barlow is stunned to find out we’ve been sneaking his best quotes on air all year, but he’s even more shocked by Ricki’s epic Quick Draw answer—it might be the “loosest” one yet!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had the legendary Take That live in the studio to play a fierce game of Quick Draw! With over 45 million records sold and countless hits, these lads didn’t hold back. Gary Barlow finds out we’ve been playing grabs from his chat all year—and yep, he’s shocked (but not as shocked as he is by Ricki’s Quick Draw answer, which might be the most "loose" answer ever). Between laughs, we revisit Gary’s best moments: “This is the best radio station ever!” and “us singers, we need our sleep,” and, of course, his love for eating cheese.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
