Sam, Maddy and Natalie kick off with a packed pop culture recap — Cannes Film Festival updates, the FIFA World Cup announcement, and the news that Dice are heading back on tour in Australia.

It's World Bee Day so Movie Monday goes full Bee Movie, and Geek Pride Day has the group sharing the niches that make them genuinely light up — Pokemon, birds and video games all make an appearance.

Mission Monday delivers the results of last week's AI message challenge — who got fooled and who saw straight through it. Next week's mission is food themed, whether that's something new in the kitchen or a food they've never tried before.

Maddy closes out with everything happening around Melbourne this week.

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Maddy Halford and Natalie Hung

In Thursday’s cereal box, Jess, Ruta, and August talk about the end of the world for National End of the World Day. What would our last meal be? Last call? Last act in this world?

Louis has taken up the violin and got locked out of the house by their sister for playing a tune that apparently sounds a lot like Mary had a little lamb. Ella was killing it at trivia, struck a deal to trade answers with another team, then left early for her favourite thai place — and will never know if she could have won...

For World Bee Day, Sam brings in a very special guest — his dad, David Kelly, who keeps bees. They get into why bees have such an unfair reputation, what most people don't know about them, why they're so important for the environment, and what you'd actually need to do to get into beekeeping yourself.

This morning the Get Cereal team had the absolute pleasure of being joined by the wonderful Sebastian Haysman, who treated us to an exclusive live sneak peek of his upcoming single “Seasons Change” dropping this Friday! Sebastian gave us a glimpse into the heart behind the track, describing it as “ A cathartic pop ballad about a relationship unravelling faster than expected, using shifting seasons as its central metaphor. Driven by melodramatic piano, warm guitar strumming and theatrical live strings, the track follows the relationship’s emotional fallout and builds toward a dramatic orchestral climax. Fans of Lara Buchanan, Conan Gray, and Sombr may connect with its emotional intensity.”
You’ll also have the chance to hear it in person this Sunday the 24th as a headline show at the Nighthawks in Collingwood, joined by support act Sophie Salter.
It’s great to have a SYN favourite back again in the studio and killing the game. If you love what you hear, you can find Sebastian on his socials @Sebastianhaysman

Sam, Maddy and Natalie mark International Museum Day with Night at the Museum for Movie Monday, plus a debate on what exhibition each of them would actually create.

Natalie takes charge of No Dirty Dishes Day with a blind ranking of household chores, and the pickleball results from last week's Mission Monday are in — don't ask Maddy how it went. This week's mission is AI themed: can you fool your friends with generated messages?

Sebastian Hayesman drops in for a live performance of his upcoming single Seasons Change ahead of his show at the Nighthawks on Sunday, before Maddy closes with what's on around Melbourne.
