Sam and Ella welcome the Talkin' Dribble boys to the Cereal Box for the first time — a monthly sport segment covering everything worth knowing in the world of sport. This week they run through the biggest stories of the week including the Blues winning five on the trot, Zak Butters' future, Giannis getting traded and the Socceroos' group stage campaign. They also look ahead at the NBA Draft, AFL games this weekend and a very exciting Ben Stiller pickleball series landing  in July. Then they settle the wildcard question — which Victorian team has the most passionate and craziest supporters?

Sam has done it again — fell asleep at the cinema, this time during Toy Story 5. Ella meanwhile spilt yoghurt all through her bag and across the tram, and made the executive decision to stare straight ahead and make eye contact with absolutely nobody. Two very different situations, one shared instinct to pretend nothing happened.

In honour of World Music Day, Sam and Maddy sit down with Dr Zara Thompson, registered music therapist and researcher from the University of Melbourne, to find out what music therapy actually is, why certain songs instantly shift your mood or give you chills, and whether there's such a thing as a wrong song to listen to in the morning. They also get into the Rewire Musical Memories choir and what that program has revealed about the power of music to help people in ways most wouldn't expect.

Sam and Maddy kick off with a pop culture recap covering a big weekend — Taylor Swift is back in the studio, Tom and Zendaya have confirmed their marriage, and the Williams sisters are playing doubles together for the first time in a while.

In honour of World Music Day, Movie Monday tackles School of Rock — Jack Black at his finest — and the duo give it a proper rating.

Dr Zara Thompson, registered music therapist and researcher from the University of Melbourne, joins Sam and Maddy in the Cereal Box to talk about what music therapy actually is, how it helps people and some exciting projects currently in the works.

Since it was World Rainforest Day, Maddy puts Sam through a rainforest facts quiz that reveals exactly how much he retained from the Dandenong Ranges trip — which the two still can't agree was a hike or a walk.

With the break coming up, Sam and Maddy set a final mission: come back with the most interesting item from the break. Before Maddy runs through what's on around Melbourne this week and the two sign off for the break.
