We also had a chat with Gemma Hansen, Head of Food and Beverages at Optus Stadium, who's gearing up for a massive weekend with Freo’s footy final on the horizon. She’s expecting a huge crowd - think 70,000 beers poured, 15,000 hot chips flying out the door, and plenty more. Lisa asked the important question: will there be any purple-themed food for Dockers fans? The answer is yes  but you’ll have to tune in to hear what’s on the menu!

Barra dropped in for a finals frenzy chat ahead of a huge weekend in sport - Collingwood silenced Adelaide with a statement win in front of a monster crowd, though Isaac Quaynor copped heavy boos for his role in the Izak Rankine saga. Barra’s tipping Brisbane to get over Geelong tonight at the G, while tomorrow it’s Dockers v Suns and if you're keen, the Suns are holding an open training session at Optus this arvo. The guys touched on the Eagles club champion night at Crown, Molly Picklum becoming world surfing champ, and a wild story out of Melbourne AFL coaching great Mick Malthouse reportedly took on home intruders. Oh, and in world football, Alexander Isak has made a record-breaking $256 million move to Liverpool and says he’ll be forever grateful to Newcastle. Big weekend ahead!

It’s been a pet-themed week on the show, with Lisa & Russell opening the phones and text lines to find Perth’s oldest pet and wow, did the listeners deliver! Turns out there are some seriously long-lived (and weirdly wonderful) critters living in homes across the city. Hayden Young popped by ahead of this weekend’s finals clash against the Gold Coast Suns. Stoic, focused, and finals-ready - the Dockers defender sounds more than up for the challenge. Lisa also dropped the big news: a Split Enz reunion is on the cards! Plus, she took a stab at unpacking some classic R.E.M. lyrics and let’s just say, the jury's still out on what’s going on in "It’s the End of the World As We Know It.” Ben O’Shea rounded things out with a review of The Roses, the new star-studded British comedy remake of War of the Roses. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman are hilarious together, even if the supporting cast doesn’t quite keep up. Bonus points for a standout cameo from Allison Janney.

Hayden Young checked in ahead of this weekend’s sold-out final at Optus Stadium, where 60,000 fans will watch the Dockers take on the Gold Coast Suns. Rested after a weekend off and enjoying some whale watching at Leighton Beach, Hayden said the team is ready for the opposition’s best. He also shared how Nat Fyfe’s finals wisdom was a steadying influence as the Dockers prepare for the big stage. Go Freo!

Ben O’Shea dropped in to chat about the new British comedy The Roses, a modern remake of War of the Roses. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman lead the cast, and their on-screen dynamic is hilarious, bringing a sharp, dry wit to the famously chaotic story of a marriage unraveling. The supporting cast doesn’t quite match the leads’ energy, but the film is still carried by its two stars. Look out for an amazing cameo from Allison Janney, who steals her scene with signature style.

On the "second day" of Spring, Lisa and Russell continued their disagreement about when the season actually starts. Producer Suzy provided some comprehensive research from a Climate Scientist to assist the debate. The Voice coach and Spicegirl, Melanie C chatted about the upcoming battle rounds and what it is like to work on the show. Plus, why did Lisa and Russell ask her about a fatberg? Staying with that theme, a mystery dog poo incident inspired your calls on neighbour feuds. City Of Stirling Mayor, Mark Irwin, weighed in on this issue and revealed just how much is spent on providing those dog poo collection bags. Plus, on The Shaw Report, The Aristocats live action movie has been cancelled and Lisa revealed what a man had in his chest for eight years!

Inspired by a mystery dog poop incident on producer Suzy’s property, we opened the lines to hear about the wildest neighbourhood feuds - and listeners did not disappoint. From stolen pregnant cats to police reports over outdoor lighting, the drama was next level. Plus, City of Stirling Mayor Mark Irwin joined the show to weigh in on proper dog poop etiquette. It was messy, petty, and yet, downright entertaining.

Pop star Melanie C joined the studio via phone ahead of the Battle episodes on The Voice. Having previously worked only on the kids’ version of the show, Melanie admitted it's been a big learning curve stepping into the adult series. She spoke about the different kinds of coaching needed - some contestants required a confidence boost, while others benefit more from technical guidance. Inspired by the bizarre news of a Bryan Adams concert being cancelled due to a fatberg, the guys asked Melanie if she’d ever had a show called off for an unusual reason. She laughed and shared her own behind-the-scenes stories from the road.
