Fitzy, Wippa & Kate

On this week’s episode of Remembering With MDG, (because it really does feel like he’s died) Matty shares more of his favourite moments from working with us for over 10 years. This fave moment happened on his first year of the show when he got the chance to live out his newsreader dreams and read for the ultimate newsreader of all time. Ron Burgundy AKA Will Ferrell. Hear the amazing once in a lifetime moment here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apart from getting his rocks off while writing his erotic novel The Far Too Personal Trainer, there’s apparently another reason for why Wippa wanted to write the book. And it’s a lot deeper and more meaningful than we realised. Turns out Wippa is kind of smart? Don’t tell him we said that...

It's been a weird year, made even weirder by the fact that Wip wrote an erotic fiction novel. We’re going back to the beginning to try and make the pieces of the puzzle fit on how on earth this happened... Starting with Wip’s announcement of the book itself and who he picked to model for the cover.

All the best and all the lows...so many lows of 2023! This was our first year with Kate Ritchie and safe to say she settled in so quickly and even get got her own segment in Recap Of The Week, we all love Out of Context Kate (admit it, you sang it as you read it). WIth Wippa calling in drunk while away on holiday and some classic Fitzy flubs I cannot think of a better send off for the show for 2023.

Absolute chaos – as you can only imagine. Yesterday Wip paid a visit to The Real Housewives of Sydney’s Nicole as she hosted book club at her house with fellow housewives Victoria and Caroline. And of COURSE he brought a copy of his erotic novel The Far Too Personal Trainer with him – because nothing is better than housewives, champagne and Wippa’s dirtiest thoughts.

Everyone’s fave Stanbassador Beau Ryan paid us a visit to let us know what series we can sink our teeth into this Christmas holiday season. When we all become couch potatoes with our leftovers, Beau reveals his recommendations for the summer and tbh we can’t wait. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why does Wippa do anything ever is the real question. Wippa’s finally discovered Uniqlo after years of spending $150 on a plain white t-shirt. So what happened when Wip decided to take his shirt off in the middle of the store? Absolute chaos and a comment from a member of the public who was not impressed to see his hairy chest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not that we sit around thinking about death, but every now and then we do think about the inevitability of being lowered into the ground or sent to the cremation factory. An interesting number of people have weighed in on whether they want a funeral or not after they pass and the number might surprise you. Plus we have possibly the best story we’ve ever heard about a Donut van being stolen and the puns are truly endless with this one – won't make them, we’ll just let you hear them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not the Rozelle interchange in the Hollywood news. If you’re not from Sydney, the new Rozelle interchange, which is located right near our FWK office, has just opened and it’s a complete sh*t show - and that’s putting it lightly. Now a very famous celeb has taken to her social media to complain about it to her 11 million Instagram followers... We love to see it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kate has a health warning for those who use the toilet for longer than 10 minutes...quoting Kate, "things might start falling out." Wow.

Radio legends Ray Hadley and Ben Fordham have gotten their hands on a copy of Wippa’s smutty novel and haven’t held back with what they think of it. This review is truly the best yet.

And we talk about one psychic’s super creepy predictions for 2023 that she made in the 60s and 80s and they are all eerily accurate... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Would you marry your significant other if they popped the question like this?! Our team is divided on whether this is a completely tone deaf way to propose or not... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is an immediate no from us. One woman on TikTok found something living inside her actual ear after experiencing some discomfort and threw up when they removed it. If this was us we’d chop our ears off Van Gogh style and never return them to our bodies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week we shared the emotional story of Shannon and Jack and their two kids Freddie and Goldie.

In the spirit of Christmas Wippa tried to do something nice for once and offered a homeless man something very specific. Unfortunately it backfired and no offence Wip but we’re siding with the homeless man on this one. Plus there’s a new beach opening up in Western Sydney that is pegged to be ‘the new Bondi.’ Wip’s arguing there can only be one Bondi beach and it’s in the EAST.

We’d make a Lord Of The Rings pun but none of us have seen it. A lovely Aussie couple have had their Hobbiton wedding ruined after the cruise ship they were on was turned around due to an ‘unclean hull’ whatever that means... We hope they can eventually exchange their rings with the Lords. Is that a good movie reference? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a special surprise for Fitzy, we got BJ to join us live to read a hot and heavy excerpt of Wippa’s The Far Too Personal Trainer. It became very clear very early on that this was going to be a deeply uncomfortable and awkward situation and we loved every minute of it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our work group chat is currently called ‘Tongue In Freak’ - which to be honest, as a member of this team I don’t understand why we called it that, apart from the fact that Wippa’s tongue is insane. Anyway, we want to call it something else and have been inspired by these hilarious group chat names that have gone viral. From a group of sisters who lost one of their other siblings calling theirs, ‘The Survivors’ to a family of kids all with different Dad’s calling theirs ‘Who’s Your Daddy?’, surely we can do better. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you a twin? Have you played the classic twin pranks on teachers and parents and partners? We are obsessed with this story of jockeys Tommy and Nathan Berry who helped each other salvage a hot date by making everyone see double during a race. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’ve found the voice of Wippa’s The Far Too Personal Trainer. After auditioning them live on air we got down to a final three – one of them turned out to be an actual personal trainer... For MDG’s wife Bronte. Needless to say MDG was squirming in the studio. Plus Kate, who is the Matilda’s biggest fan, got a special surprise from player Alanna Kennedy this morning. And Todd Sampson joined us to talk all about the dangers of Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian and Joe Rogan when it comes to selling the beauty industry, which made Kate open up about procedures she’s had done and how they've made her feel.

As three Swifties, we heart our new Dad Travis Kelce. We’ve fallen head over heels for him ever since he appeared on the scene on Taylor’s arm, but we have some reservations about his tell all interview done with The Wall Street Journal yesterday... We’re very protective of Tay and wonder, is this much info disrespecting her privacy? We discuss and EduKate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How on earth did this diver survive this?! In possibly the craziest near-death experience we’ve ever seen, a huge great white shark has gotten into a cage with a diver and thrashed around trying to escape. It's something that can only be seen and heard to be believed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Okay be honest – would you use this service for your pet? Because we know we’d use it to talk to Tommy. One woman in the US has become a pet psychic to talk to your pets and find out how they are feeling and thinking. It’s kind of genius but is it legit? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The cat’s out of the bag, or should we say the personal trainer is out of the gym shorts. Wippa’s mum has found out about his erotic escapades and has gotten her hands on a copy of her son’s novel.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week Wip’s erotica The Far Too Personal Trainer hit the shelves, and today the reviews are finally in. Did you manage to get your paws on a copy of Wippa’s smutty gym fantasy?
