Three of Australia’s most respected personalities come together for the drive home on Nova. Kate Ritchie, Tim Blackwell and Marty Sheargold bring a conversational cheekiness to the Nova Network. Mixing the hottest topics of the day with the best of the web, hear weekly favourites like Quick Draw, Sp…
We’re back and ready to ruin your appetite — turns out Gen Z might be cancelling mushrooms, prawns, and vegan cheese (fair).Then it’s your calls about how your pets “departed”… yes, someone said insinkerator. Oasis fans break a beer record (of course they did), and we spin the Wednesday Wheel where Joel proves he absolutely cannot spell “algae.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's Glossys: The VMAs nominations are out! Katy Perry deals with a fainting fan on stage! Jamie-Lee Curtis has defended Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson's rumoured relationship The Howard Stern Show is set to be cancelled after 20 years on SiriusXM See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Alright Gen Z, we need a word. A new survey's revealed the top 10 foods you're refusing to eat — and now they’re apparently at risk of going extinct.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Coke, crypto, cult pop icons — it’s a chaotic one today, betch. We kicked off with the town in Mexico that’s so obsessed with Coca-Cola they’re putting it in baby bottles and religious ceremonies. Ricki’s still frothin’ over the Bitcoin guy who accidentally binned $1.5 billion (yes, with a B). Then, in the Glossys, Sir Ian McKellen can’t quite get Charli XCX’s pronouns right, Donald Trump’s going rogue on Sydney Sweeney and Taylor Swift (it’s giving retired Facebook dad energy), and Drake’s birthmark now has a muse. Plus, we asked Grok who’s famous and watching us — turns out Denzel might be frothin’ over Tim.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re talking one of the biggest stuff-ups in human history: a bloke in Wales has finally given up searching for a hard drive he accidentally chucked out with 8,000 Bitcoin on it. That’s more than a billion bucks in the bin. Ricki reckons she could’ve found it in 30 minutes, Joel’s still recovering from nearly losing his wedding ring, and Tim’s ready to launch a ride-share just to prove a point.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Donald is back in the headlines after latching onto Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad — but not before asking if she’s a Republican. Once confirmed, he declared it the “hottest ad out there,” then turned around and absolutely roasted Taylor Swift, saying she was “booed out of the Super Bowl” and is “no longer hot.” Yep… the former president is beefing with a pop star over jeans. My. Jeans. Are. Blue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today, Ricki gives us all the goss from her glitzy Logies night—including a confetti-related autocue disaster and a very serious panty situation. Joel loses it over the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills heading to Melbourne (he’s already fluffing cushions for them), and we discover that Australia has a national skipping team?! Plus, we dive into your wild messages in Mailbag, check in on Orlando Bloom’s cheeky response to trolls, and Joel shares how he accidentally vacuumed up his engagement ring. Yes, really.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ricki-Lee had her Logies moment stolen thanks to a confetti bomb courtesy of Richard Marx’s performance. While trying to present live on stage with Manu, Ricki ended up squinting through stage fog and glitter-drenched autocues like she was decoding Morse code. Add a thick emergency panty mission, a gown that doubled as a red carpet speed bump, and some cheeky shoutouts from Hans and the Today team, and you've got the most glamorous hostage situation in Logies history. Throw in Jimmy Barnes, Yelena Dokic, some cheeky Pang, and a few sus snubs—this year’s Logies had it all… even if Idol didn’t win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sometimes the thing you thought was super cool a decade ago just doesn't hold up as well as you would have thought. We're talking tattoo regrets! Maybe that cheap stick and poke wasn't such a great idea.... Plus, what's the fresh reason this man has had to make an awkward trip to the ER for?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Welcome to Thurrrrrsday!! Today we're talking life-changing moments and showing some love to our four-legged animal mates. Rumour has it Katy Perry’s got a new flame (thanks Glossy), and we’re asking the big questions—like who should welcome the aliens? Our vote’s Oprah. Oh, and Sonia Kruger’s swinging by for Quickdraw. Let’s go! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week on Four The Record: Tim asks Joe about Australia's social media ban and finds out how it will work and what the pros and cons are. Plus! Will Australia let 16-year-olds vote?!

Ricki’s had it—working out with her partner is officially off the table, and honestly, we get it. The team launched into the craziest celeb couples of all time (Tom Cruise and Cher still lives rent-free in our heads), then got into it with a wild new lawsuit involving Coldplay. Trump's swinging back at Stephen Colbert, and the Age Game returnsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We dove headfirst into the craziest celeb couples—from Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson (yes, really) to Tom Cruise and Cher (what in the 80s fever dream?). There’s speculation around Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, and we took a detour through Angelina Jolie’s trampoline room and Kris Jenner’s $250K facelift.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re back and firing with hot takes and questionable facts. Mario and Peach are not dating (awkies), Elon’s Tesla Diner is falling apart and apparently being bilingual makes you richer, smarter and hotter. We also found out millennials are officially the drunkest generation (cheers to that), Gen Z are sipping soda, and yes, there’s a real fish called an Assfish.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Elon Musk’s brand-new Tesla diner is barely a week old and already making headlines—for all the wrong reasons. A woman copped a sunshade to the head while munching on her robot-delivered burger, and now she’s suing. No blood, but plenty of legal drama.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s official: after nearly 40 years of rumours, Nintendo has confirmed that Mario and Princess Peach are not an item. Just mates. And honestly? With Mario still living upstairs at his parents’ house in a shared room with Luigi, who can blame her? We deep into fictional crushes—from Mufasa’s BDE to Miss Piggy’s chaotic charm—and the horny hotline does not disappoint. One caller is hot for Mickey Mouse. Another? The fox from Zootopia. We’re not here to judge… but wow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ricki is fired up, betch—and it’s all because of the Triple J Hottest 100. Let’s just say, she’s not handing out any "oh that’s gorgeous" stickers for that countdown. We unpack the wild story of a teacher booted for making students Macarena mid-class, check in on Destiny’s Child’s onstage reunion, and gasp as a podcaster tries KFC for the very first time. Ricki also gives a chef’s kiss to what she says is a 10/10 movie with no notes (hint: Happy Gilmore gets a sequel). Plus, we deep dive into the world’s hottest priests. Say it with us now: oh that’s gorgeous.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A UK teacher has been banned from ever teaching again after showing up to class completely sloshed. Students say she was drinking from a bottle, smelled like a pub floor, called them “little sh*ts,” and—because why not—made them dance the Macarena. Health class? More like drunk aerobics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's Glossys, Destiny’s Child is back, baby! Beyoncé blew the roof off her final Cowboy Carter Tour show in Vegas by reuniting with Kelly and Michelle on stage. They mashed up Energy, Lose My Breath, Bootylicious and Break My Soul, while Jay Z and Shaboozey also made surprise appearances. Meanwhile, Oprah, Gayle and Kris Jenner were spotted losing it in the crowd—and Matty Healy’s mum is low-key thrilled not to be Taylor Swift’s mother-in-law. Oh, and G Flip and Chrishell just threw a medieval wedding. Lord Flipo, your princess awaitsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We reveal the weird stuff our partners are obsessed with (looking at you, Rich). A bold nutritionist says ditch the fries and get two burgers instead… excuse me?! In Glossys, the White House takes aim at South Park, Harry Styles drops a sex toy line, and Tesla launches a diner. Plus, a bogan YouTuber goes rogue in Emirates First Class, and it’s pure comedy gold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A nutritionist has shaken the drive-thru to its core—claiming it’s healthier to order two burgers instead of a burger and fries. Apparently, you double your protein and ditch the carbs. Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel weren’t having it. “Three burgers, no fries?” “Extra protein?” “No thank you!” The team concluded the only healthy option is pretending this advice doesn’t exist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We asked our partners what their favourite things are about us, and the answers ranged from deeply heartfelt (Lizzie legit made the team cry) to shockingly insightful (Jack is now our emotional support therapist). Oh, and yes, there were plenty of responses that cannot be aired. Ever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
From toenail clippings in pinboards to tuna nuked in office microwaves, we dive into the filthiest things people have witnessed at work—brace yourself, it’s truly feral. Labubu collectors are now officially walking red flags and we’re unpacking why (sorry to your shelf of creepy dolls). We’ve also got Australia’s most un-roadworthy car, complete with a garden chair for a seat—because why not? In the Glossys: Billy Joel rolls up on a pedicab, Kathy Hilton reveals her hall pass, and Travis Kelce compares himself to Julia Roberts. Plus, the sleepy English village turned sex festival hub and… Grant Denyer crashes in for Quick Draw and brings absolute chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The TV host/stuntman/pilot/world record holder/world-class gasbag drops by to play Quick Draw, flexes his wildest achievements (hello, solo pilot license in 10 hours?!), and throws shade at Logies rivals and rogue game show hosts. He also accidentally triggers PC error sounds with the studio knobs and manages to steal the win from Joel in a nail-biting, buzzer-screaming, butterfly-botching finale. An elite performance from the Deal or No Deal king.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tim’s only just discovered Wordle (yes, really), Joel’s shared a cursed photo that will haunt us forever, and a South African pastor proposed at a funeral—bold move or straight to hell? We’re also in our dad era: noodles at 10am, chips in bed, and no rules, just vibes. Plus, in the Glossys, celeb flight sightings, real estate moves and Pedro’s dodgy shave regret.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s Joel’s worst nightmare: a photo so cursed it makes Voldemort look photogenic. He uploaded it. Regretted it. Then made it everyone's problem. We unpack his full meltdown, frame by frame, pore by (Photoshopped) pore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today we’re lighting a candle for the most unhinged funeral story you’ve ever heard — involving a rogue pastor, a freak-out at the pulpit, and a very unfortunate moment to go viral.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week on Four The Record: Tim asks Joe about why The Stephen Colbert Show is wrapping up... And what does it have to do with Donald Trump? Also, why is Trump suing CBS and The Wall Street Journal? And what does it have to do with Jeffrey Epstein? We'll get the full rundown.

Joel’s still trying to figure out what umami means (and no, it’s not a sushi train), we dived into the ‘Princess Treatment vs Bare Minimum’ debate, and things got fishy when someone made a tuna salad on a plane. Plus, we asked: what can you store under belly fat? You’d be surprised. We also tested AI’s selfie skills with our dream celeb friends, and crowned the true kings of sex appeal — long live the dad bods.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One woman’s belly has become the hottest real estate on the internet — and we’re not talking abs. Wait until you hear what she can stash under her stomach roll… including a household appliance and possibly a small pet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back, beettttchhhh! Did you miss us? Because we missed you, too! We catch up on the things we missed over the break... and not just the Coldplay CEO cheating saga! We go through your messages and comments with Mailbag. Ricki hilariously details her most boring holiday in New Zealand (you may disagree if you're not Ricki-Lee tbh), and Joel found the funniest GRWM video on-line. If you don't know what that means, so doesn't Blackers - and we explain what the kids are saying.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's Glossys: Gwenyth Paltrow reveals all in a new book. Selena Gomez shares details of her 33rd birthday party. Sia has spotted with a 28-year-old fresh from her divorce. Morgan Wallen's got something to say during his show (close your ears, Coldplay) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We didn't say 'human'. Here's what Joel got up to while we were on break!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re back on Monday, betch! But first, here’s one last juicy ep to wrap up the week. Today we heard your wild mid-life crisis stories (shoutout to the couple who bailed on land for a 15-year cruise), dissected the funniest snoring sounds the internet has to offer, played a round of Tim’s Word Alarm, and heard how Tim accidentally insulted a total stranger in the office kitchen. Classic Blackers!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re back live on July 21… until then, here’s another batch of best bits to keep you going! Today we took off with a chat about drinking at altitude – is it science or just vibes? Then things got even more unhinged with baby talk… to dogs. And comedian, podcaster and New Zealand’s own Guy Montgomery joined us for Quick Draw! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re back live on July 21… until then, we’re serving up the best bits! Today, we kicked off with a woman in scrubs getting praised like she’s on Grey’s Anatomy and spoiler: she’s not. Then it was time to dish the workplace drama (someone’s definitely getting HR’d), followed by the Whisper Challenge on the Wednesday Wheel. And finally, we wrapped with a list of things that are totally fine… just a little bit weird. Like this show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re back live July 21… until then, enjoy the chaos! Today we talked about the coolest thing ever, tasty uniforms, mid-makeout mishaps (falling asleep?!). Plus, we catch up with Benny Blanco in L.A... don’t worry, we stayed awake for that bit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back live on July 21... TGIM, betch! Kicking things off with some juicy weekend goss... shoutout to the birthday girl who wanted secrets, not presents. Then we asked: what job could you fake with zero experience? One bloke thought “dentist” was a vibe. And finally, what would you put on your gravestone? Let’s just say Marge Simpson’s got us all rethinking things.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back live on July 21, but until then, here’s a spicy Friday mix to get you through. We found out you can be allergic to exercise (same), unpacked the drama of famous exes (Jennifer Coolidge’s, no less), Talked about a dramatic dog (not you Girlfriend), and Tim set off his Word Alarm again. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re back live July 21, but today’s best bits are shining bright… just like Jackie Gillies would want! We kicked things off with a confessional: what have you stolen? (Don’t worry, we’re not judging — even if it was a surf lifesaving flag from 1969). Then we tackled words people just can’t say… tortillas included. Then we talked Banana Bread with Jermaine... And finally, our psychic queen Jackie Gillies from RHOM dropped in for Quick Draw, and let’s just say: shine, shine, shine, betch!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re back on July 21, betch... until then, enjoy the chaos! Today we went deep on povo brags: walk-in pantries, billionaire jumbotrons, and humble flexes. Then the kids came in hot with their brutal honesty… ever been called Miss Piggy mid-flight? We spun the Wednesday Wheel and ended up in a Google-Off about the Pope. And finally, we cried (again) over the celeb break-ups that hurt us the most... Katy and Orlando, we’re looking at you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back live on July 21... until then, enjoy our best bits! Things got weird at check-in when hotel staff in Ibiza were clearly on the sauce. Then, we asked the big question: who would you actually go to the E.R. for? (Apparently, not Usher.) We did our iconic segment, I Was Today Years Old! Plus, we catch up with the brilliant Gracie Abrams live from Auckland on Nova’s Red Room Global Tour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
