Tim’s ear wax drama got the nation talking again after he revealed what came out of his ear could’ve been classified as modern art. Then we met an Air Force man who literally died and came back to life — now he reckons he can heal people with his hands. The Glossy’s were all about Taylor this week: from Ed Sheeran finding out about her engagement on Instagram, to her saying she’s not the “art police.” Hilaria Baldwin hit back at “nepo wife” claims, Jonah Hill’s gone full undercover, Kamala Harris dropped the f-bomb of the year, and the team wrapped it all up with a round of the Emoji Game.

The team lost it over how pricey everything’s become, from $9 waters at the zoo to a $17 bacon and egg roll in Sydney. Ricki’s McMuffin order nearly bankrupted her, Joel couldn’t believe it, and Tim’s dad had some sharp words for Coles. Safe to say, everyone’s officially had it with the cost of living.

The gang’s midweek energy was off the charts until things got… gross. What started as a secret sound game turned into Tim revealing a deeply disturbing ear wax situation that Ricki demanded to see on video. Joel nearly lost it, Ricky was obsessed, and Jermaine couldn’t stop zooming in.

Taylor Swift’s been everywhere – from sharing sweet wedding pics with Selena Gomez to shutting down Super Bowl rumours on Fallon, and setting Scott Mills straight on whether The Life of a Showgirl is her last album. Plus, J-Lo and Ben reunite post-divorce for her new film Kiss of the Spider Woman. Hear all the glossy details in today’s podcast.

We chat about the things we missed: Taylor Swift dropped Life of a Showgirl (and fans reckon “Actually Romantic” is a sly dig at Charli XCX), Brisbane dominated AFL, NRL and NRLW, Snoop Dogg brought Baker Boy, Tash Sultana and Jess Mauboy to the AFL Pre-Game Grand Final, Teddy Swims rocked out to AC/DC at the NRL finals, Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl 2026 monologue gave everyone a Spanish lesson, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman split after 19 years, Lola Young collapsed on stage in New York, Lewis Capaldi performed a cheeky Aldi rooftop set, and one of Joel’s past crushes finally tied the knot.

Mailbag madness included someone giving birth while listening to the show.

We also cover Meghan Markle’s Paris Fashion Week antics, a horny Kiwi causing chaos on a plane, and Joel’s hilarious chat with Rosie O’Donnell.

Rosie O'Donnell sat down with Joel for a hilarious and surprisingly deep chat about everything from her first Aussie trip to fighting with Elizabeth Hasselbeck on The View. She shared wild stories about Madonna, Gina Davis, Kathy Griffin and even the “Chernobyl of mushrooms.” Plus, she weighed in on Kylie, Nicole and what she really thinks of Australian slang. Listen to the full podcast for Joel’s full interview with Rosie!

Meghan Markle’s Paris Fashion Week appearance sent Ricki into a rage scroll spiral. From her “Disney villain” runway walk to that awkward Balenciaga hug, nothing escaped the team’s roasting. But the real controversy? Meghan putting her feet up in a car just metres from the tunnel where Princess Diana died. The guys could not believe the optics.
