Kate, Tim & Marty

This Thursday, it's time to dig out your favorite Aussie band tee because it’s Aus Music T-Shirt Day! We chatted with ambassador Bridget Hustwaite about this epic initiative that celebrates Aussie music and raises funds for Support Act. Whether it’s crisis relief, mental health, or First Nations support, this incredible organization has musicians, managers, and crew covered. Head to AusMusicTShirtDay.org.au to donate and show your support—because wearing your merch has never meant so much!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Billboard has named Taylor Swift the second greatest pop star of the 21st century, leaving fans to speculate who’s sitting at #1. With Cruel Summer racking up 2.6 billion streams, it’s no wonder Taylor’s influence is unmatched—well, almost. Dive in as we break down this pop showdown and what it says about the queen of the charts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s show had everything: drama, creativity, and a few million-dollar bananas. We kicked things off by dissecting the new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills taglines, and yes, we tried coming up with our own. Let’s just say Joel’s tagline had a bit too much attitude for reality TV. Then it was straight to spuds—no, not Joel. A business on Shark Tank is cashing in by writing personal messages on potatoes. Yep, they’re making a literal hash of the competition! We also revealed Macquarie Dictionary’s Word of the Year—enshittification. Don’t worry; we broke it down for you, so you can start slipping it into conversations to sound intellectual (and a little cheeky). And now, for the pièce de résistance: Lin Manuel Miranda. We took a deep dive into why he’s an absolute genius… sort of. It was more of a Lin-credible, Lin-sane, Lin-tensely hilarious chat about his unmatched creativity and possibly why he’s the only person allowed to rhyme “Miranda” with “grande.” If you thought we were done, you’re wrong—Lin-deresti

The Macquarie Dictionary has crowned its Word of the Year, and it’s a mouthful: enshittification. This gem describes the gradual decline of products or services—like streaming platforms or social media—when profit becomes the priority over user experience. The Macquarie editor hilariously called out streaming services for making users pay extra just to avoid ads.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kylie Minogue's sparkling rosé is in a battle with ALDI’s $16 Rosalie Cotes De Provence Rosé, a near-identical dupe that even wine experts say tastes the same. Kylie’s team is threatening legal action, but ALDI’s bargain-loving fans are thrilled. We spoke to listeners—dubbed the "ALDI Booze Floozers"—to hear their best booze money-saving hacks. From clever swaps to secret wine deals, these tips could have you sipping in style without breaking the bank!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim kicked things off with his bold claim that flight chat is the most boring conversation topic ever, and naturally, our listeners jumped in to agree, argue, and share their takes. Then, we unpacked the results of the CSIRO’s “Chart Your Fart” app, courtesy of some very dedicated (and honest) participants. Let’s just say, it’s a wild ride of smells, sounds, and surprises. Over in the Glossys, Paris Hilton is making waves by claiming she’s never had any work done. The team had thoughts, and you’ll want to hear them. Next up, we dived into the fascinating world of the South Korean Space Out Competition, where doing nothing for 90 minutes is an art form—and one that earns top prizes! Finally, the showdown of the century: Kylie Minogue versus ALDI. Kylie’s $25 rosé has a budget doppelgänger that’s selling for $16, and it’s sparked all sorts of drama. We even roped in our “ALDI Booze Floozers” to share their best budget wine hacks. This episode has it all, betches. Tune in!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

This one’s for all the stressed-out legends who just want to chill! South Korea’s Space Out Competition challenges people to do absolutely nothing. No talking, no laughing, no scrolling—just sitting in serene stillness for 90 minutes. But don’t nod off! Falling asleep gets you disqualified. The competition began in 2014 as an artistic escape from the chaos of Seoul and now crowns the champion based on their heart rate stability. This year, freelance broadcaster Kwon So-ah mastered the art of Zen and took the win. Could you sit still long enough to be the ultimate chill master?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s show is as wild as ever! First up, we ask if you’re bogan and proud after hearing about a couple who got engaged at a Bunnings—talk about snagging true love! Then, we dive into New Music Friday, breaking down the latest bangers. In the Glossys, Richard Gere flips the bird on live TV during his Today Show appearance, and let’s just say… it’s caused a bit of a stir. Ricki brings the chaos with a deep dive into one of the most twisted ancient torture methods (spoiler: it involves goats). And if that’s not enough to whet your appetite, we tease the release of Pizza Hut’s latest creation—a wine designed to mimic tomato sauce. Plus, Tim’s Word Alarm keeps us guessing, and we wrap up with our Caller of the Week. Can you guess who it is?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leave it to Ricki to bring the most twisted facts to the table! She walks us through the horrifying history of “The Goat’s Tongue” torture method, where victims had their feet salted and licked raw by a goat until infection—and sometimes death—set in. It’s one of history’s weirdest and most grim methods of suffering, and somehow, we can’t stop listening. But that’s not all. We also dive into the bizarre invention of the “cumspin,” a ride engineered to deliver a euphoric death through immense G-force. Yep, we’re questioning everything too. This one’s not for the faint-hearted, but if you’re into twisted trivia and shocking inventions, you’re in for a treat!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus, Joel’s got his eye on a charity auction for a Zoom chat with Kaitlan Collins, but is this obsession worth it? Over in the Glossys, Kim K’s latest headline involves getting a little too comfortable with a Tesla robot. Meanwhile, Ricki leans into classic female stereotypes, admitting her back is always sore. Oh, and we couldn’t forget the South African student who scammed free KFC for a year, the marathon runner who shat her pants mid-race (what she said is unreal), and John Safran joins us to spill details on breaking into Kanye West’s gated community while playing Quick Draw.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aussie icon John Safran dropped by to chat about his wild new book, Squat: A Week Squatting at Kanye's Mansion. He dove into his investigative antics, where he hilariously broke into Kanye’s abandoned LA mansion to reflect on the rapper’s spiraling controversies and antisemitic remarks. Safran didn’t hold back as he exclusively spilled all the juicy details of how he cracked the gated community (like a true stealth pro). Then, things took a turn for the competitive when John squared off with us in Quick Draw! Did his wit match his quick hands?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 27-year-old student in South Africa pulled off the ultimate KFC heist! For an entire year, he scored free meals by confidently walking into different KFC outlets, claiming he was sent from HQ to perform “quality assurance” checks. The scam eventually caught up with him, but honestly… we can’t help but admire the creativity!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Tim off hosting the ARIAs (go, Blackers!), Jase from Nova Melbourne’s Jase & Lauren steps in to keep the good vibes rolling. We couldn’t be prouder of Tim—this is massive! Joel’s fascination with big holes takes another wild turn. We chat about a prisoner kicking a massive hole in a jail wall to escape and dive into the bizarre theory that aliens created a beach hole (it was just some drunk sandcastle shenanigans, of course). Ricki shares the hilarious story of how a rogue champagne cork left her with a self-inflicted concussion—classic Ricki. And during The Age Game, Joel made a bold (and very wrong) guess about Kylie Minogue’s age. The Minogue family didn’t take it lightly—Joel even got a phone call from them! Did he talk his way out of trouble, or did they deliver a serve? To wrap it up, we celebrate Tim’s incredible ARIA hosting debut with highlights of his best moments. Safe to say, he absolutely crushed it!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We played the Age Game, and Joel took a massive swing—guessing Kylie Minogue was way older than she is. Big mistake. The Minogue family didn't take it lightly, and Joel ended up getting an actual phone call from them! Did they set him straight, or did Joel manage to charm his way out of trouble? Tune in to hear all the drama!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Talk about a relationship reset! Jenna broke up with Mitchell, but a ski accident and a case of amnesia flipped the script in the wildest way. After suffering a concussion, Mitchell forgot they had broken up, and his sweet messages melted Jenna’s heart. She asked to get back together, and Mitchell—completely unaware of the breakup—thought it was hilarious and said yes! Fast forward: they’re now married, proving that love (and a little forgetfulness) can work wonders. PLUS, Ricki shares a champagne cork story so chaotic, it left her with an accidental self-inflicted concussion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First up, we chat with Richard Wilkinson, who spills the tea on hosting the very first ARIAs back in 1992 and dishes out some golden advice for Tim ahead of his big moment tomorrow. 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.)
