A mum has gone viral after being told to pick up her son from school—because he had cheese and crackers in his lunchbox. Little George is a fussy eater, and that’s his go-to snack, but his new teacher banned it for not being “healthy enough.” Mum Rachael was fuming, arguing that cheese and crackers are better than nothing, and slammed the school’s snack rules as completely over the top.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A teacher put his students to the test—read an analogue clock in three seconds for bonus marks. The result? Chaos. Half the class guessed wrong, mixing up the hands, shouting times like “10:5” and “9:8.” The clip’s gone viral and now everyone’s arguing: is telling time on an old-school clock becoming a lost skill in the TikTok age?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The self-marriage isn’t legally binding, but she says it proves her happiness doesn’t depend on anyone else.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kamala Harris has revealed why she’s still rocking the old-school wired headphones. On Colbert, she joked that AirPods aren’t secure enough, saying she’s sat through too many intel briefings to risk people eavesdropping on her train chats. Honestly, it’s giving FBI chic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Forget the grocery aisle: Aldi’s flogging Aston Martin F1 go-karts for 200 bucks, and now the betchmail is full of listeners daring us to race them. Should we put our money where our mouths are and hit the track once and for all?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus, we chatted Murder on the Dancefloor, Royal Otis, and the track she thinks you should play first.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Poor old Albo had himself a dress code disaster in the Solomon Islands. While every other leader showed up in coordinated navy polos, our PM strolled in rocking a bright pink Hawaiian number like he was ready for poolside cocktails. The moment he realised, he bolted for a quick-change and re-emerged in the right kit. Still—nothing says “leader of the Pacific” like looking like you’ve just been handed a Tommy Bahama gift card.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yep, at 79, Sir Benjamin Slade reckons his frozen swimmers and 1300-acre estate will seal the deal. The team’s got thoughts — from “slay ban” to “ew, Gilead vibes” — and Joel’s already half-considering the inheritance. Would you swipe right on that?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
From tuna on steak to dog food dinners, the sad meal comp has been wild — but today was next level. Isabella accidentally pitched us her “security board” (aka a DIY charcuterie board with corn kernels and cottage cheese), Phil served up a sardine omelette nobody asked for, and Christina went full chaotic auntie with a Midori trifle. In the end, we couldn’t pick, so two winners walked away with cash and Ufoods… and Joel’s still begging for that trifle recipe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A New Zealand mum just set a Guinness World Record by sprinting 100 metres barefoot across 300 kilos of LEGO in under 25 seconds. Yep — the world’s most painful obstacle course now has a queen.

The woman from that viral Coldplay kiss cam moment has now officially filed for divorce, less than a month after the concert clip blew up online.

Imagine marrying someone who turns the ceremony into a full-blown Vegas residency. This bride grabbed the mic, stormed down the aisle, and belted out a ballad like she was headlining the Coliseum – while her new husband stood there in sneakers, clinging to his phone like a hostage. Elvis lit up his lighter, the room looked like a conference centre, and the whole thing was so unhinged… we couldn’t look away.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Gen Z creator has gone viral for running a “millennial bootcamp,” exposing the dead giveaways that betray your age on social media. From fonts that “scream millennial,” to killing off boomerangs and background music on Insta stories, no one is safe.
