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.

Welcome to the best day of the week! On Today's TGIM Show we discuss the Joan Rivers auction, open the Mailbag, get a further updated on the Hasselbeck VS O'Donnell Drama and ask have you ever pashed a politician, Katy Perry Style!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We’re talking all things Joan Rivers, darling. Her estate is auctioning off more than 300 bits of her fabulous memorabilia, including her iconic shag wigs, voodoo dolls and even a Prince Andrew mug that definitely hasn’t aged well. The biggest ticket item? A Chanel bag that sold for over 20 grand. We love you, Joan — you’d absolutely approve of the chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A bloke at the SCG has gone viral for smuggling a hip flask into the cricket inside his sandwich. Absolute genius. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
First up, we finally unmasked the Bluey mystery voice, yep, it’s Dave McCormick, aka Bandit, and he gave us the lowdown on duck cakes, the movie, and why he keeps quiet at Bunnings. Then Joel stirred the pot on Entertainment Tonight after chatting with Rosie O’Donnell about her feud with Elizabeth Hasselbeck, and now the internet’s losing it while Joel just sits back laughing. We also had a speeding nan who thought highway 112 was the speed limit, plus Brooklyn Beckham and Roger Federer are apparently fighting over hot sauce, Adele and Gwen Stefani crashed Dua Lipa’s show, Drake’s defamation drama got tossed, and China’s traffic jam looked insane. Also, T-Pain got funky with Crocs boots inspired by his hit song Low. It’s a lot, but we’re here for it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We made Entertainment Tonight, betch! Joel’s chat with Rosie O’Donnell at the Opera House blew up after she spilled fresh tea on her feud with Elizabeth Hasselbeck from The View. Rosie called the whole split-screen fight a setup, and Elizabeth fired back on Instagram begging her to “stop the lying.” Now Joel’s comment section is chaos, Americans are losing it, and we’re just sitting here loving every second.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We had Aussie royalty in today the voice of Bandit from Bluey! Dave McCormack joined us for a chat about the Bluey movie, why no one ever believes it’s actually him at Woolies, and his messy attempt at making a duck cake.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dave Hughes joins the studio for Quick Draw, still recovering from his brutal Legends AFL injury where he broke ribs and punctured a lung. Absolute madman, he powers through the game, cracking jokes and showing off his competitive streak despite still being in recovery mode. Rolling Stone dropped their 250 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century, featuring Frank Ocean, Britney, Radiohead, Kendrick, Robyn, Taylor Swift, The White Stripes, Beyoncé, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Missy Elliott taking the top spot. In political chaos, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller froze mid-sentence during a CNN interview, leaving the anchor completely baffled. In the Glossys: Jason Kelce gets roasted by Travis in a Taylor Swift lyric debate, Billie Eilish launches her custom UNO cards, Dolly Parton reassures fans she’s fine, Bruno Mars celebrates his birthday with a cheeky old-man edit, Leonardo DiCaprio gushes about meeting Stevie Wonder, and Joy Behar auctions off her clip-on earrings at 83.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hughesy played Quick Draw in the studio and reminded us why he’s a legend… and a casualty. While chasing glory on the AFL Legends field, he copped a brutal hit that broke ribs and punctured a lung, but still kicked a goal from 25 metres out. The man’s competitive streak clearly doesn’t take a day off even recovering from major injuries, he was straight back to cheeky banter and hand-eye reflexes in the Quick Draw showdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A woman’s made a wild claim that she has David Bowie’s DNA after a one-night stand. She says she kept a tissue of his from the 70s and wants to use it to make a clone of him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A White House official fully glitched mid-interview. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller froze on CNN halfway through a sentence — eyes wide, completely unresponsive — while the host awkwardly tried to bring him back. It was giving robot malfunction, not political professionalism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim’s ear wax drama got the nation talking again after he revealed what came out of his ear could’ve been classified as modern art. Then we met an Air Force man who literally died and came back to life — now he reckons he can heal people with his hands. The Glossy’s were all about Taylor this week: from Ed Sheeran finding out about her engagement on Instagram, to her saying she’s not the “art police.” Hilaria Baldwin hit back at “nepo wife” claims, Jonah Hill’s gone full undercover, Kamala Harris dropped the f-bomb of the year, and the team wrapped it all up with a round of the Emoji Game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The team lost it over how pricey everything’s become, from $9 waters at the zoo to a $17 bacon and egg roll in Sydney. Ricki’s McMuffin order nearly bankrupted her, Joel couldn’t believe it, and Tim’s dad had some sharp words for Coles. Safe to say, everyone’s officially had it with the cost of living.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The gang’s midweek energy was off the charts until things got… gross. What started as a secret sound game turned into Tim revealing a deeply disturbing ear wax situation that Ricki demanded to see on video. Joel nearly lost it, Ricky was obsessed, and Jermaine couldn’t stop zooming in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
From TikTok confusion to celeb moments! People can’t figure out ships, barcodes, or leg hair. Barron Trump shut down a whole floor at Trump Tower for a date. Selena Gomez shared wedding snaps with Taylor Swift, Taylor addressed Super Bowl rumours and album chatter, and J-Lo reunited with Ben Affleck on the red carpet. Meanwhile, a mum from Blackpool served a roast tray complete with chocolate cheesecake and lashings of gravy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Taylor Swift’s been everywhere – from sharing sweet wedding pics with Selena Gomez to shutting down Super Bowl rumours on Fallon, and setting Scott Mills straight on whether The Life of a Showgirl is her last album.

Rosie O'Donnell sat down with Joel for a hilarious and surprisingly deep chat about everything from her first Aussie trip to fighting with Elizabeth Hasselbeck on The View. She shared wild stories about Madonna, Gina Davis, Kathy Griffin and even the “Chernobyl of mushrooms.” Plus, she weighed in on Kylie, Nicole and what she really thinks of Australian slang. Listen to the full podcast for Joel’s full interview with Rosie!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Meghan Markle’s Paris Fashion Week appearance sent Ricki into a rage scroll spiral. From her “Disney villain” runway walk to that awkward Balenciaga hug, nothing escaped the team’s roasting. But the real controversy? Meghan putting her feet up in a car just metres from the tunnel where Princess Diana died. The guys could not believe the optics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live Monday October 6 but in the meantime, remember this?Popcorn just levelled up, betch. We got into the new M&M popcorn drop at Woolies — and for $5.50, it’s basically begging to jump into your trolley. But that’s not all… Mars Bar and Snickers have joined the popcorn party too. Forget recess, this is a full-blown sugar stampede.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back live Monday October 6 but in the meantime, remember this? A Carnival Cruise turned into WrestleMania after a full-on brawl broke out at 2am — all over chicken tenders. About two dozen passengers went at it outside the cafeteria, with one shocked bystander yelling, “Over chicken tendies is crazy!” as fists flew. Security eventually stepped in, but not before the internet got hold of the footage, making the late-night snack attack instantly legendary.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back live Monday October 6 but in the meantime, remember this?The team dove headfirst into the news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, dissecting everything from her sold-out Ralph Lauren dress to that monster $1.5 million ring. Tim reckons the “three months’ salary” rule doesn’t quite apply when you’re a millionaire NFL star. Ricky shared what it was like breaking the news to the biggest Swiftie she knows — and how it nearly caused a domestic crisis. Even Donald Trump weighed in with his two cents, despite recently calling Taylor a loser. It’s safe to say this engagement has everyone, from Swifties to presidents, losing their minds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back live Monday 6 October but in the meantime, remember when...Ricki 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.
We’re back live on October 6… but in the meantime, here are our best bits! From bathroom tap water and hatchback-driving blokes to a woman making tuna salad mid-flight, it was a week of things that are just “a bit” weird. We met the chef who can’t pronounce tortilla, the English village overrun by moaning Swingathon swingers, and a woman trying KFC for the very first time (spoiler: she loved it). Plus, we uncovered the surprising truth about drinking on planes — why champagne tastes flat, what laws actually apply, and why a Bloody Mary always hits at 30,000 feet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today, we want to hear your crazy in love stories after a beautiful AirBnb story. Blackers goes through the nominations for this year's ARIAs. In the Glossy's, Cardi B defends claims that she has a stinky bum. And Hawthorn legend, Shane Crawford takes on Joel in a game of Quick Draw!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hawthorn legend Shane Crawford joined us to chat grand finals, busted collarbones, and why his Vegas footy trip helped get end-of-season getaways banned.

What's your crazy in love story? From wildfires to wild romance... an American girl booked an Airbnb in the UK and ended up finding love instead of just a place to crash. After losing her home in California, Meg travelled overseas and was offered a lift from the host’s son. She was sceptical at first, but he turned out to be her age, they clicked instantly, and by the time he dropped her off he’d already scored a date. Fast forward and the two are still together… so yeah, that’s one hell of an Airbnb review.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jimmy Kimmel’s back after a week off, getting teary then cracking Tylenol jokes with Glen Powell and Sarah McLachlan in tow. Macron had to call Trump for help in NYC before walking half an hour with his security team. We ranked Aussie insults like “calm ya farm” and “settle, petal,” Fallon took a swing at Kimmel, Rihanna and A$AP joked about fans hating the baby breaks, Simon Cowell clapped like a T-Rex, and the Jonas Brothers reunited with The Veronicas. Oh, and one Aussie legend replaced her car mirror with a pink makeup compact.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What’s your go-to insult, betch? Today we dived into the art of Aussie patronising zingers, from “ride-o chief” to “ease up, turbo” and the classic “calm your farm.” Things got spicy when listeners jumped in with their favourites, including one that had us questioning the entire sperm race. We also crowned “that sounds like a you problem” as the ultimate corporate mic drop. Honestly, insults have never sounded so polite… and so brutal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today’s glossys were stacked. Jimmy Kimmel is officially back after his suspension, with a star-studded petition and Howard Stern firing up about censorship. Then came the tea from The View — Sherri Shepherd revealed she and Rosie O’Donnell were on $3 million back in 2007, while Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck were pulling in just $750K. Over in Swiftie-land, Travis Kelce’s mum is pushing hard for grandkids, while Jason Kelce jokes he’s still number one thanks to his kids. And finally, Charli XCX tied the knot with Matty Healy from The 1975, complete with crowd-surfing, DJ sets, and even a cigarette platter with custom matches — forget candy buffets, this wedding went full rockstar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today we kicked off with burgers taking over the world, and yes, Australia flexed with three making GQ’s top 15. Charrd in Melbourne, The Gidley and Next Door in Sydney were all bringing the beef heat, with Neil Perry’s place taking the crown as the highest-ranked Aussie burger. Whoopi finally spoke up about Jimmy Kimmel on The View, reminding us that no one silences her, while over 400 celebrities signed a petition to get Jimmy back on air after his suspension. We also had a holy wine chugging moment, Byron Schlenker showing off the world’s largest tongue, and Sherri Shepherd spilling salary tea from her The View days. Travis’ mum is on a mission, Matty Healy crowd surfed at Charli xcx’s wedding, and Ibiza clubs are selling fake receipts for €10,000 so you can “look rich” without the hangover. Absolute chaos, betch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today was all about burgers – and we went in hard. GQ dropped their list of the best burgers in the world, with three Aussie contenders making the cut. Naturally, it turned into a full-blown burger-off with the team (and the callers) throwing down their personal faves, from Mary’s in Newtown to Fergburger in Queenstown. Things got messy with talk of truffle aioli, fake meat, Splendour burger runs, and even Albo’s beloved Frango’s. Safe to say, we were starving by the end.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today on the pod, Ricki’s revealing icks from around the world – from “ibi-boo-boo” to Dune deep dives gone way too far. She also hints a cheeky reunion with Jessica Mauboy could be on the cards. We get fired up about a mum whose kid got sent home for having cheese and crackers in his lunchbox (seriously?). In the Glossy’s, Trump Jr cops it from his dad over memes, Elton John loses a bet and a house key, and Camila Cabello sings at a wedding. Plus, Gen Z’s new “soft clubbing” trend, Harry Styles’ marathon alter ego, and Prince Harry’s royal bow-down demands for Meghan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
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.
In today's Mailbag, our listener Tamara is begging for a Ricki-Lee & Jessica Mauboy reunion... and Ricki may just have some good news!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today we learned that kids can’t read analogue clocks anymore – one poor student even thought 9:58 was “9:8.” Then in a police interrogation, a suspect accidentally let one rip right as he was being charged… earning Priyanka Chopra’s old nickname “Farty Chopra” a comeback. Over in the Glossys: Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension has Colbert, Letterman and Fallon all up in arms, Reese Witherspoon does a killer Nicole Kidman impression, and Cardi B’s flogging CDs from a car boot with Gayle King. Oh, and Snoop Dogg says Stevie Wonder is the only artist he’d ever need, while Benson Boone’s cameraman got arrested for literally taking the piss in a Florida shop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Glossys time! Taylor Swift is rumoured to be dropping a secret movie next month to go with her brand-new album. Meanwhile, Hollywood is buzzing—Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension has other late-night hosts like Letterman, Colbert and Fallon weighing in on censorship.

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.
Jimmy Kimmel’s comments about Charlie Kirk have reportedly gotten his show pulled off air indefinitely, and Donald Trump is claiming Jimmy Kimmel Live! is officially canceled. Meanwhile, Jerry from Ben & Jerry’s leaves the company, and it’s now just Ben’s Ice Cream. In the Glossy’s, Colin Farrell admits Margot Robbie turns him on. Justin Bieber bags a solo $10M Coachella deal and prays over his beard, and Travis Kelce is already spilling Swiftie wedding tea.
