Kate, Tim & Marty

We start with the ultimate Christmas debate—Home Alone crowned the greatest holiday movie ever, with Macaulay Culkin revealing his kids have no clue he’s Kevin. Michael Jackson impersonators are apparently the hangover cure of choice after birthday bashes. In the mailbag, a 1960s Woodlands Goddess print sparks nostalgia (and $525 questions), while Joel delivers a wildly unhinged apology for his Perth charity ball antics. Meghan Markle faces online roast territory again, Schoolies hits the Gold Coast with a wholesome 5K run, and one husband’s insanely detailed pizza order for his pregnant wife goes viral, proving some men are doing it right.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meghan Markle’s Thanksgiving just went viral for all the wrong reasons... rings on while stuffing the turkey has the internet dubbing her “Salmonella Sussex.” Taylor Swift is reportedly globetrotting for multiple star-studded bachelorette parties, from Nashville to Italy and beyond. Over in Florida, Brian Littrell is taking a trespassing fan to court after she allegedly kept storming his private beach... he’s chasing $75K AUD in damages. And Paul Anka spills jaw-dropping Sinatra sauna secrets, confirming that those legendary “crown jewels” stories? Totally real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel steps into a classy Perth charity ball and somehow leaves the place looking like the aftermath of a soap opera finale. From swanning around in borrowed pearls with full Shiraz-auntie energy to vanishing for 45 minutes to write Big Brother jokes, the man was on a tear. He skipped queues, talked himself up like he was running the joint and bid against himself in the auction without realising he was the only bidder. By the time he hissed at a stranger on the way back to the drinks, the damage was done and the legend was born. The full story is messy, unhinged and absolutely worth hearing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kick off with Jamaica delivering the ultimate Cool Runnings sequel by actually winning their first ever international bobsleigh gold, complete with an emotional, hurricane shaken dedication that’ll smack you right in the feels. Dick Van Dyke then turns 100 next month and reckons the secret is gym sessions and zero grudges which feels both wholesome and slightly intimidating. The Glossys go full chaos with William and Kate cheering Rob Irwin, Mariah seasoning the internet, drama around Hugh and Taylor, Eminem crashing an NFL game and a wild legal doc bombshell. We wrap with Christmas decorations boosting your mental health and Elon Musk hitting a net worth so big it needs its own postcode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel's got the scoop on a Hollywood icon who’s about to hit triple digits and reckons he’s cracked the code on staying upright for a century. It’s part gym routine, part good vibes, and absolutely not what you’d expect from someone who’s been tap dancing since colour TV.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki’s fired up about a real life moment that feels straight out of one of her all time favourite films. A team everyone underestimated just flipped the script on the world stage, delivered a history making win, and did it with pure heart. There’s passion, pride, and a little island magic in this one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kicked off Aussie Music T Shirt Day by flexing our finest band tees before diving into the Brooklyn bloke living in a 15 bedroom house with total strangers because apparently paying three grand a month for communal vibes is the new affordable living. The Glossy’s were cooking with Kylie Kelce raving about Taylor Swift’s sourdough, Meghan Markle being accused of recycling a possibly borrowed silk dress, Christina belting Christmas classics from the Eiffel Tower, and Missy Elliott begging the universe to free Car Wash. Ricki’s jar opening hack came under fire from a maths professor who reckons the secret isn’t strength but turning your torso into a pressure filled human Pringles tube, which honestly checks out. We got into sneezes big, tiny, and unnecessarily dramatic thanks to Graham Norton, then wrapped things up with Rhys Nicholson taking on Quick Draw as he and Joel warm up for their Christmas shows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Blackers is back with another Tim Factwell... and this one will make us feel like we are basically ants in this solar system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Four The Record: One Nation senator Pauline Hanson's latest burqa stunt has seen her kicked out of the Senate (temporarily), before she cooked up a storm on a sandwich press for Barnaby Joyce. So what is going on? Joe has all the answers.

Rush Hour 4 is back in the headlines today because Donald Trump apparently asked for it like he was ordering off a secret menu, and Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker might dust off the kung fu even though one’s pushing 80 and the other’s pushing 60. We got deep into the Russell Crowe chat, which had us all speaking in gravelly wisdom voices again. Then there’s the bloke who has literally been walking around the world for 27 years and is now so close to finishing he might swim the English Channel out of sheer stubbornness. The Glossy’s gave us Rob Irwin’s DWTS win with busted ribs, J Lo selling engagement rings like it’s a side hustle, and Martha Stewart being the unlikely denim queen of Christmas. We wrapped it up by ruining your favourite childhood myths and playing Rip: Real or Fake.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Russell Crowe swung by for a massive chat with Blackers. He unpacked acting vs music, roasted method actors with one eyebrow raise, and dropped life advice so blunt it deserves its own plaque. Then he rolled into hilarious neighbour stories about John Laws that somehow got sweet and chaotic at the same time. And if you want the whole uncut Crowe experience, Blackers is dropping the full chat on his podcast 'Introducing with Tim Blackwell' on December 12.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rush Hour 4 is finally happening and the reason is absolutely wild. Trump apparently called up the Paramount Skydance boss and went mate, bring it back, so now the studios are dusting it off nearly twenty years later. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have been teasing this forever, so buckle up because this could actually land in cinemas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki kicked things off with her cooked sleep schedule before we dove into Pauline Hanson’s sandwich press wagyu for Barnaby Joyce, plus the whispers he might be sliding her way politically. Glossys ran wild with Bieber peeing in the Palm Springs bushes, Kasey Musgraves’ accidental trip to a Sydney gay sauna, Hilary Duff dodging Leo questions and J Lo raking in three million to sing at a billionaire wedding in India. We absolutely lost it over the grandma who proudly froze what she thought were Christmas tree ice cubes that turned out to be, well, festive backdoor surprises. Jeans caused chaos again because apparently no one knows how to size them properly. Then we wrapped the whole thing up with a cracking round of Joel Jivin, artist doco edition, which went completely off the rails in the best way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeans copped the biggest spray today as we unpacked the bizarre truth that you’re apparently not meant to wash them, which sent everyone into a full existential crisis about smells, sweat and that weird denim rigidity that ruins your day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki unveiled her unhinged pre-holiday sleep schedule and honestly it’s giving elite athlete energy even though she’s just going to London to have a nice time. Tim and Joel roasted her lovingly while reminding her that normal people don’t shift their body clock half an hour every day like they’re prepping for Formula One. By the end of it all we learned that Rich is a supportive king, Ricki is basically an adult baby by choice, and no one in Australia understands jet lag less than Jermaine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re chatting about some wild stage slips this weekend, from Katy Steele taking a tumble at the WA Day Festival to Miss Jamaica doing a dramatic fall at Miss Universe. Katy powered through with four broken ribs, and Miss Jamaica miraculously escaped with no broken bones. Meanwhile, Miss Mexico strutted away with the crown while everyone else was picking themselves up.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kicked off with some serious chocolate obsession, chatting about the glory of Cadbury milk bars and why Americans just can’t get the real deal. Then it was chaos on stage with Katy Steele taking a tumble in Perth and Miss Jamaica pulling a dramatic Miss Universe slip, while Miss Mexico strutted away with the crown. On the celeb front, we had Lewis Hamilton giving Beyoncé and Jay-Z a 200-mph thrill ride, Taylor Swift secretly filming a video in Croydon, and David Harbour possibly rekindling a romance in Canada. The internet delivered with sheep doing Backstreet Boys covers, while a private jet attendant spilled the insane rules of flying A-listers. And in between, we had Brendan, Kay, and Eddie sliding into the mailbag with Raining Diamonds, LEGO roses, and some very relatable drunken song choices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cadbury milk chocolate has officially been crowned the greatest snack in the country after a video went viral of someone absolutely losing it over how good it tastes. They reckon it’s the undisputed champ and even had a full out of body moment while eating it. The best part is the reason Americans don’t get it the same back home because their version is made by Hershey’s and hits totally different.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NASA might have found signs of ancient life on Mars thanks to rocks with organic carbon, Robert De Niro kept it low-key with a honey and camomile on arrival for the new Nobu skyscraper, Sir Ian McKellan hilariously roasted James Corden in a drag panto mash-up, Joe Exotic is selling private calls to fund his Netflix grievances, DWTS apparently locked in their winner before the season even started, Cardi B turned her baby’s umbilical cord into a gold statement necklace, New York restaurants are serving tiny Ozempic-friendly meals, and Brooklyn Beckham’s early photography career stumbled spectacularly on a delayed celebrity shootSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robert De Niro kept it classy with a honey and camomile on arrival in Manchester for the new Nobu skyscraper, Sir Ian McKellan went off-script roasting James Corden in a cheeky drag panto mash-up of Wicked and Wizard of Oz, Joe Exotic is offering private phone calls for Christmas while complaining Netflix ripped him off, and Deuxmoi has the inside scoop that the DWTS winner was already decided before the season even started.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

NASA reckons there might be ancient life on Mars and suddenly the team are pitching Earth to aliens like they’re spruiking a dodgy rental on Gumtree. Joel genuinely campaigns to become queen of the galaxy and, to be honest, the aliens would probably say yes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Blackers spills the tea on his ARIAs hosting chaos before the gang dives into a spicy round of Glossys that somehow links Ronaldo, the Beckhams and Ariana in one breath. We get into the madness of a Klimt portrait going for a casual $34.5 million, the surprising global rise of Guinness and Tarantino dropping his top five actors like it’s gospel. Then Chrissie Swan swings in for a feisty Quick Draw that absolutely lights up the room.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chrissie Swan dropped by for Quick Draw chaos, whipped up some of her Shortcut Queen recipes including mini quiches and nostalgic snacks, and had Joel scrambling through ridiculous pantry and sky-themed challenges while showing off her kitchen antics, cooking stories, and sharp humour all in one whirlwind afternoon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cristiano Ronaldo strolling through Mar a Lago with Don set off a wild chat about Keith Urban oddly singing Pink Pony Club there, before everyone pivoted to Victoria Beckham’s son Cruise giving Viva Forever a red hot go, then Khloe admitting she accidentally convinced Kim the moon landing was fake, and finally Ariana Grande popping up to sing with Jimmy Fallon because why not.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim gives us the full backstage scoop from the ARIAs where he was hosting with Concetta Caristo and absolutely living his best sparkly awards-night life. From Keli Holiday kicking things off with G Flip and Baker Boy to Missy Higgins winning straight after belting out Complicated Truth, the night was stacked.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a very rare game of Name Em, Ricki reveals to us that she auditioned for Season 1 of Australian Idol... and GOT REJECTED! Find out why now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had Mitch Churi jumping in while Blackers swanned around the Arias and it honestly felt like leaving your house keys with the fun neighbour who definitely lets the dog on the couch. Childhood meals came roaring back with tuna mornay trauma, electric wok chicken crimes and enough apricot chicken energy to trigger a whole generation. A UK school banned a K-Pop song for being a bit too Demon Hunter which is exactly the kind of drama the tuckshop needed in the 2000s. The Glossy’s delivered everything from Taylor and Travis inspiring the word parasocial to Ariana getting all handsy in the sweetest way plus Keith Urban copping heat and Trump calling someone Piggy. We wrapped it all with a round of Name Em that went off like burnt dinner rolls forgotten in the oven.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Childhood meals came roaring back with the trauma of apricot chicken, tuna mornay and whatever crimes were happening inside those electric woks. Callers rolled in with dishes so cooked they should be classified as psychological warfare. And somehow ham steak with pineapple had a moment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Cameron had his Titanic cast freezing their bits off in real ice water and turns out their screams were very real. Then we found out a new study reckons teen binge drinkers end up earning more which feels like the most unhinged career advice ever printed. Glossy land gave us everything from Cynthia and Ariana losing their voices to Tom Cruise accidentally cosplaying Nicole Kidman’s AMC ad. We checked out the Moana live action tease and even the Oasis ticket prices got a roast. Plus the bloke who rushed Ariana at the Wicked premiere is now in the slammer and we had plenty of questions about prison life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Looks like we’ve officially hit the taste freeze, betch. Spotify reckons once you hit 33, your music brain just goes, yeah nah, I’m good, and stops chasing the shiny new stuff. It’s not a crisis though, your playlists just get a little more… eclectic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

James Cameron popped up again to remind everyone he’s Hollywood’s king of “let’s make it real even if everyone freezes their bits off”. Titanic’s sinking scenes weren’t just acting… he blasted the cast with actual icy water and didn’t exactly give them a heads up about the pressure. Turns out those terrified faces were less Oscar worthy and more “oh my god I can’t feel my spine”. So now we want to know… how did your boss surprise you?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The world’s best cheese has been crowned and yes, it’s fancy Swiss Gruyere again. Airbnb is giving 20 lucky humans the chance to live like Elphaba with Cynthia Erivo in California. Robert Irwin’s dating, Britney’s sleepovers are chaotic, and Timothee Chalamet is basically handing out Oscars at a high school basketball court. Yungblud’s taking a break to not fall apart, and Pharrell’s producer tag still makes him instantly recognisable. And Raya might go public, so start swiping if you fancy a celeb date.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things got wildly futuristic today with the story of a woman in Japan who ditched her real life fiancé for an A.I. groom who lives in her phone. Yep, she had the full wedding, vows and all, while guests watched her digital husband send emotional messages like he was in The Notebook but with software updates.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia has spoken and the best cheese has officially been crowned, so naturally we go completely overboard about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve stumbled across the cutest little Aussie initiative that’s basically a coffee shop… in someone’s lounge room. Sasha has opened her home for monthly gatherings with homemade treats, all to help neighbours actually, you know, talk to each other. It’s like a neighbourhood meet-up but with cake, coffee, and zero awkward small talk—well, mostly.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we’re celebrating incredible women, from Cynthia protecting Ariana Grande at a film premiere to Jade Henderson smashing the pull-up world record and 80-year-old Natalie Grabow conquering the Ironman. We’re also checking out Saacha Neilson’s genius Living Room Cafe, bringing neighbours together over baked goods and a bit of chat. Health alert for anyone who rocked out at the Oasis gig in Sydney, keep an eye out for measles symptoms. Plus, we’ve got New Music Friday, cheesy garlic bread disasters, royal photo drama, Billie calling out Elon, Taylor Swift’s docuseries and Lady Gaga spilling the real behind-the-scenes of A Star Is Born.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Turns out if you were at the Oasis gig in Sydney last weekend and now you’ve got a fever or itchy eyeballs, it might not just be the post concert comedown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Renee Rapp has the internet losing it after Ziwe asked her what counts as an “oldie” and her answer might make you feel ancient. We dive into the dark, slightly horrifying origins of the “pinky promise,” then crank things up with 374 bagpipers rocking out to AC/DC at Fed Square. Plus, Leo shares his holy favourite films, Adele’s going Hollywood, and Elton John’s throwing tantrums again. And to top it off, our very own Mel Tracina fresh from Big Brother steps in for a wild round of Quick Draw with Joel!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nova’s own Mel Tracina ...now the brand-new host of Big Brother on Channel 10 joins us live for a round of Quick Draw! She might be running the Big Brother house, but can she handle Joel’s chaos in the studio? Let’s just say, things get competitive fast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel’s been counting down to this moment like it’s Christmas morning... the Wicked: For Good premiere. He was so nervous he had to do a “nervous wee,” then went full chaos by crushing his wine glass mid-movie. There were tears (mainly from Jack), a few Arianas in the loo, and a whole lot of green-themed fashion choices. But does the self-proclaimed biggest Wicked fan on earth actually think the movie lives up to the hype?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You’ll never look at a pinky promise the same way again. Turns out this sweet little gesture started in Japan, where breaking it meant chopping off your finger...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
