Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are fighting. Like actual fighting. With one challenging the other to a cage fight, there's been an escalation that might see the billionaires enter the UFC octagon for real. If you're wondering why, you're not alone. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the motivation for these two men to continue publicly baiting each other for a fight, and whether it might be nothing more than a good old fashioned PR stunt.

53 years ago this week, a little orca, just 4 years old, was captured by humans in Puget Sound, off the coast of Washington State and transferred to Miami Seaquarium. For the past 5 decades the orca, known as Tokitae, formally known as her stage name Lolita, has lived in a tiny tank and forced to perform for the public 3 times a day for almost 45 years. She was retired from these shows in March last year after suffering from some health issues. After years of protesters calling for her release, it seems those dreams may be coming true as soon as next year. In this episode of The Quicky we find out how a billionaire, a group of friends and a new owner are working to free one of the oldest captive orcas into open water and how she may still have the chance to reunite with her family.

Joe Biden is 80 years old and for the first time in history, the U.S has an octogenarian President. You'd think that would make him the oldest among his Political colleagues in Washington right? But no. In the past few weeks some of the elder statesmen and women of the capital have been showing their age and have left many wondering, how old is too old to run a country? In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what is known as Gerontocracy, where the older generations control the politics and the power and whether there should be a maximum age limit in Government.

The Victorian government recently began it’s plan to phase out gas in the state’s homes by announcing they were banning any new gas connections to newly built homes starting from January next year. But why have we turned on gas? it used to be sold to us as the more affordable and more environmentally friendly option to electricity, and does this Victorian move mean the rest of the country is about to follow suit? Today we look at what it will mean for Aussies to try and remove gas from our lives, and what happens in our kitchens and lounge rooms as a result. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Did you see the moon last night? Big and glowy, lighting up the sky. It was a supermoon, and it won't be the last one we see this month. August is set to be a big month for moon watchers with two lunar events occurring. The supermoon we witnessed last night, and later this month, a blue moon. We know the moon changes the tides, but what else can it do? In this episode of The Quicky, we look at how the moon cycle influences our moods and behaviours...can we really blame the moon for our craziness? Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

This week we heard the Australian housing market continued its growth in July. But while house prices are still going up, they're not going up as fast as they have been, and it could be due to a group of Aussies who have just fully realised the impact of all these rate rises. Experts have raised concerns about the potential effects on property values, housing affordability, and overall financial stability. In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at how those who have just, or are just about to fall off the mortgage cliff can halt the fall and what it means for the housing market.

Australia loves soft drink, but with growing concerns around our health, doctors are calling for a sugar tax. But what exactly is a sugar tax? Would it impact all food items that contain sugar, or just soft drinks? And does it actually work to motivate people into choosing healthier options when perusing the supermarket aisles. In this episode of The Quicky, we explore the concept of a Sugar Tax in Australia and find out where that money goes once it's in the governments hands. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

On Friday, the UN claimed that the era of global warming was over, that now, we have entered a new phase of climate change - global boiling. The evidence is clear, the world is getting hotter and with wildfires now forcing people to flee parts of Greece while also threatening several other European countries, those places we flock to during Australia’s colder months are starting to look like they may not be the ideal escape in the future.

Twitter is dead...no, not literally, the website and app are still alive and well, but it's not called Twitter anymore. And the little blue bird is gone. New owner, millionaire Elon Musk, has rebranded it as X. The response has been varied. Some say it brings the social media platform into line with his other businesses and makes it completely his...others say it's the final nail in the coffin and have found the exit door. In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what the hell is happening at Twitter...I mean X, headquarters and why this might be more than just a new logo. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

When July 1 comes around, many Australians get a little excited for a boost in their bank accounts in the form of a tax return. But this year is a little different for many of us.

Everywhere you turn right now, it's almost certain that you will see the colour pink. It's in our stores, on our social media pages and our TV's, all in celebration for a doll, well actually a movie about a doll, that for years we were told was doing young women a disservice. In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at the powerhouse that is the marketing campaign of the Barbie movie. How they took a toy that had seen a decline in sales and relaunched it to become a best seller. And whether confronting your products faults can go anyway to absolving them of their past mistakes.

Michele Bullock, an RBA employee for nearly 40 years, was announced on Friday as the new Reserve Bank of Australia Governor, taking over from Phillip Lowe, whose reputation has taken a blow over promises on interest rate rises that left many scrambling when they occurred earlier than expected.

Earlier this week actor Jonah Hill's ex girlfriend revealed text messages allegedly sent to her during their relationship. The texts and Jonah have been widely criticised for him attempting to set his 'boundaries' telling the surfer they include her not going out into the ocean with men, modelling and posting certain types of photos on her instagram. In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a psychologist about relationship boundaries, are they healthy?, how to implement them and what happens when they go too far.
