We also re-ignite our feud with the Bearu of Meteorology and have a tight game of Song, S'Song, Song, Song!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jumping off the roof of the stadium? Whatever it is, he better be doing his little Tom Cruise run with his little arms that we love so much. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We love our tradies but we also know that there some that really like to slack off on the job.

We swear Wippa’s done this exact segment before only a few weeks ago. He clearly is really in the business of not wanting to talk to people, which doesn’t surprise us and honestly, we don’t really want to talk to him either.

This year Andy Lee is up for the Gold Logie for the first time ever. We couldn’t be prouder of him and as a special friend of the show we want nothing but for him to win.

Brother eeeeuuugh. We appreciate the honesty though Fitz. We’re talking about the way that men are completely inept at breaking up with someone properly due to their lack of emotional intelligence.
