Kate, Tim & Marty

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 privacy information.

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 romantic order so wrong at a hotel... and Joel brings to the table an odd drink combo. Then, Tim has announcement... it's a brand new podcast series he's doing with our next Quick Draw guest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

'Four the Record' is a weekly podcast where Nova’s Tim Blackwell fires four probing questions at journalist, podcaster, and TV host Joe Hildebrand on a hot topic dominating the headlines. No spin. No BS. Just one current issue, four big questions, and Joe’s unfiltered take. First up: Are we on the brink of WWIII ? LINKS Follow Tim Blackwell on Instagram Follow Joe Hildebrand on Instagram Read Joe's column in The Daily Telegraph Listen to The Real Story With Joe Hildebrand See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 best friend. Also, turns out Dom Dolla used to drive a flamed-up Camry, and Woiwod himself once rolled in a Ford Focus held together with cups and banana peels. This was no regular chat — this was a full-blown bromance reveal with Brad, race cars, Ange Bishop, and a Dior-clad Lewis Hamilton thrown in for good measure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki's come in with the facts about your pillowcase. You're gonna want to chuck yours in the wash after hearing this!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy hump day, betch. We go into hectic or lazy morning routines, dogs being drama queens and annoying Beyoncé fans in the comments. Also, we spin up the Wednesday Wheel and play another stupid game of Spelling Bee! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Looking for a career change? Why don't you treat yourself for once. This Instagram page listed some dream jobs that actually exist and tbh, we're so jeal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sorry if you already know this, but in this 'Today years old' segment, Ricki realised why OJ's nickname is juice 31 years old after that chase. Joel always found out why Qantas has the flag reversed on one side of the plane.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 for privacy information.

While we explore where do gay voices come from? Ricki has another cray cray theory. She reckons Trump would be a perfect gay man by the way he speaks.... and she's got the receipts, honey!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 privacy information.

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 too old to be called Daddy?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 caught her senior manager pooing up the bathroom walls… with a secret Ring cam she smuggled into work. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 skipping!).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 when you listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 charm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 soundboard, including the opera snore and a sneeze-snore hybrid that frankly should be studied. Listeners called in with tales of their own snoring sagas, including one poor woman who now wakes up to her husband spitting on her chest. Romance isn't dead — it's just wheezing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. We unpacked Uber’s wildest lost-and-found items. Oh, and did we mention Joel’s going to see Katy Perry tonight? Because we definitely did. Also, Ben Lee popped in for Quick Draw and things got competitive… but not more competitive than Joel is for the best Katy concert selfie. Go off, Joel!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Uber has dropped its annual Aussie Lost & Found Hall of Fame and it’s as unhinged as ever. Sydney takes gold for being the most forgetful, followed closely by Melbourne and Perth. Have a listen to some of the most random and SHOCKING items left.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 from his algo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 about a certain Australian celeb being involved in their own secret fauxmance. Should we all be in fake relationships just to sell movies? We’re starting to think… maybe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. We ask: what did your mid-life crisis look like? Hopefully it didn’t come with a buffet and bingo night every day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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... caviar on a chicken nugget! Oh, and a zebra got airlifted for being a naughty girl...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 supreme but let’s be honest, it was just an excuse to eat tendies on-air.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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 answer about his marriage on YouTube. Meanwhile, a delivery driver took the phrase “special delivery” a little too seriously when he drove straight onto the tarmac at Chicago Airport — bold move, king. We farewell one of the most ultimate kingworthy shows of all time on Australian television, and reminisce on some our favourite metro WIPs. And of course, our real King Joel gave us the royal rundown of the Tonys in Glossy’s.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Nicole Scherzinger stunned the room with her vocal control, stamina, and that shiny new Tony. Meanwhile, Billie Eilish’s new boyfriend sparked questions, Chris Martin confused us all with a Dakota Johnson shout-out, and Celine Dion turned up looking like your child dressed as their dad. Big vibes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 convinced she was hallucinating Rhys D’Alessandro, but nope — it was the real-life jawline of Hahn himself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Elon (it's giving Mean Girls energy), discovered that whiskey can apparently be made from diabetic urine (cheers?), and confronted the disturbing tale of Perth’s infamous poo jogger who’s now a biohazard-level repeat offender.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 “XXS” blazer left her swimming in faux leather.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve finally cracked it — literally. Tim brings the age-old debate of “what came first, the chicken or the egg?” to a dramatic end, thanks to a legit study from the University of Sheffield.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 way back from near-defeat. And yes, there were multiple mentions of the word "labia."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 Johnson have called it quits, Meghan’s dancing in hospital throwbacks, and Katy Perry’s been spotted shopping in Lidcombe before tearing up the stage. Plus, Balenciaga’s latest “shoe” is basically a flip-flop’s weird cousin with a toe hole and no dignity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 'Wicked: For Good' trailer just dropped and Joel gives us his reaction and thoughts about this favourite thing of all time!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 alarming... that or his camera roll. We also met an Olympic hopeful who swapped paddles for OnlyFans and is now banned from competing but rolling in cash. Plus, Matt Moran dropped by for a Whisper Challenge and confirmed he’s still anti-marinade and pro-bathroom chic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 branching out from Bud Light into bricks and mortar, opening a massive new venue in Nashville.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 ditch the tops at public pools, and Madame Tussauds is honouring the real MVP of British culture... the Greggs sausage roll.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 onboard. Oh, and even in first class, the crew can still tell you to put the pinot down.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From airport bomb scares over snack food to a Jolie kid legally dropping half their surname... today’s Glossy’s has it all. Ellen Pompeo caused TSA chaos over sunflower seeds, Pax Jolie was snapped stumbling out of the Chateau Marmont at 2:30am, and Shiloh quietly said “see ya” to Brad. Meanwhile, Dolly Parton politely declined Meghan Markle’s podcast invite... probably too busy recording her next collab with, I dunno, Mr. Whippy and Missy Higgins.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
