Ella raises a question that sounds simple but really isn't — is it weird to wash your hands before getting in the shower, or is washing them in the shower just as valid? The Cereal Box needs answers. Sam meanwhile spent the day with his mum and somehow managed to fall asleep in the cinema mid-movie. Best friends with his mum, apparently not great company.

Matilda and Natalie started this morning with National I Love My Dentist Day, sharing their own dentist stories and whether they love a dental visit or still feel a little fear in the chair. Since it’s also National Rocky Road Day, they chatted about Matilda’s favourite sweet treat: rocky road.

For Tit for Tat Tuesday, they took on the classic question: does a straw have one hole or two? But instead of picking a side, they somehow found a third answer to the debate.

Tuesday Book Club also returned this week, with members sharing what they have been reading recently. With AI-generated content continuing to take over social media, Matilda and Natalie shared their thoughts on whether we need more AI content online, or if it might be getting a bit too much.

Finally, they wrapped up with a quiz and chat about cover songs, testing whether they could tell which tracks were originals and which were covers, while also sharing some of their personal favourites.

Sam, Maddy and Natalie kick off June with a pop culture update and new music worth knowing about. It's the first day of winter so the question of the week is simple — what's the one thing you do to avoid the cold?

For Movie Monday the team watches Charlie and the Chocolate Factory — the Johnny Depp version — in honour of national game show day, given the whole film is basically one long elimination round. Sam has strong feelings about Grandpa Joe and Willy Wonka's dentist dad before putting the group through an Australian game show quiz.

World Children's Day has everyone digging up childhood stories — Natalie ruled the school yard, Sam wanted to audition for The Voice, and Maddy had a relationship with insects that raises some questions.

Mission Monday wraps up last week's food discoveries before the group sets their sights on a beach trip and a cold plunge, in winter... #Brave. Maddy closes with what's on around Melbourne and the gig guide.
