Jimmy Rees rapped a little bit too close to the sun and almost really offended us with his epic rapping skills. Lucky for him we let it slide this time.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And we really don’t. But also we wouldn’t mind. The last time Jim was here we spoke about his undies and this time we’re doing it again. Who knows why?

Pop Queen Taylor is beefing with pop princess Billie Eilish. On the day of Billie’s album launch, Taylor released a few more songs and fans are speculating it was to try and knock Billie off the charts. Is this fair or just down right selfish?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We wish we were joking. Kate recently went to her daughter Mae’s soccer training and found herself in a conversation with another parent who told her all about how to relieve a cat on heat. Apparently it’s legal, apparently it’s good for the cat, and apparently we all needed to know exactly how to do it. Thank you Kate for the weirdest and most insane segment we’ve ever done on air... like ever. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sydney suburbs can be hard to pronounce, but also not really. Fitzy takes us through the hilarious way people are saying these 'burbs wrong.

The lovely Sam Neill revealed he’s single and ready to mingle, but in a super slow fashion claiming he’s the slowest man to ever live. He’s been told he’s too slow to think, speak, walk, or move but we kind of love the slow lifestyle of being a big chiller. And in other news Sam revealed he recently had Cillian Murphy to stay on his farm and we just really wish we’d been apart of the sheep shearing and evening bonfire beers tbhSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese joined us to talk about Wippa’s initiative to change the legal age of kids on social media from 13 to 16.

We’ll never forget the hilarious pop culture moment that was when an interviewer thought Charli XCX was Lorde, so Charli just went along with it. Fitz takes us through other pop culture moments that made us LOL including one famous rapper who thought windfarms were to quite literally fan down/cool down the earth... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We bloody love Wippa’s mother Christine. She came down to Sydney to support Wip as he made a television appearance on The Project to talk about his new initiative 36 months.

We assume would be the slogan for the 'super nits' that have taken over Sydney schools these past weeks.

Don’t let Nigella fool you, baking is a dangerous af game. From burning the house down to making things taste like sh*t – it's a scary world out there to be a domestic goddess.

We’ve got a celeb trapped in the Hide & Sing booth ready to try and deceive Fitz, Wip & Kate on who they really are.

Bonus points to you if you can guess who it is before the guys can. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re breaking down the theory around Taylor’s style.

The perfect age gap between partners to ensure you’ll stay together forever has been revealed.

Maybe Leo DiCaprio has it all figured out after all? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Or is his reaction totally called for? We can’t decide. Novak Djokovic had a Frank Green-esque water bottle dropped on his head after a game when signing autographs and he truly looks like he’s about to die. It’s now become a meme-able moment so obviously we had to give our two cents on it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now’s not the time to shake it off because an actual newborn baby was seen laying on the floor of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concert in Paris just yesterday. After Arj Barker’s baby gate - isn’t it just best we keep the newborns at home? Plus we’ve decided we’re officially launching singles party and you’re all invited so keep your eyes peeled for the deets. And AI has come up with a way for you to be able to speak with dead relatives and we’re not really sure we’re a fan of this tbh... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One woman has gone the extra mile to make some extra cash. By booking flights she never planned to take she was able to take out $600,000 in flight delay claims which is truly cray. She anaylzed the weather, the location and the airlines to gamble on the fact that the flights would be delayed and she would get some monaayyyy. Is this smart or just plain crazy?

The man could not help himself as he just casually throw a bombshell in the middle of the interview and of course, chaos ensued. Kate got a front row seat, not to an AFL game like she was planning but to Wippa's eating habits at the game (hope she had a raincoat as she was in the splash zone).
