As the State of Origin looms nearer, we hold the decider - how do you say "maroon"? Maybe we can find the answer "up in Annie's room behind the clock". Get yourself a blanket because it's "brass monkeys" at night these days... enough to "freeze the balls off a billiard table"! Maybe we'll need to look for some firewood to warm up - or is it "fire would"? The Saints would say the latter in their hit, Just Like Fire Would!

There's plenty of "mayhem" to be had - but not too much that it sounds like a "dog's breakfast"!

This week we put a "smile on your dial" as we head to playground to use the "slide" and "slippery dip"! Hopefully you've never been "sprung" "wagging" school, because you'd be "under the pump" trying to explain yourself. Maybe, just maybe, "artificial intelligence" could help you out. Or should we call it "HMC"? That's "Human Mimicking Computer".

There's been plenty of "weasel words" after the latest Budget drop. A couple of politicians are probably feeling "ginger" after the being "impacted" but the government's announcements.

Tonight, a ruling was made, and we're all banned from saying "coronated". So stop it. Kel also gave us a "unique" take on if it's "ok" to say "ok" and how many "fish" or "fishes" are in the sea.

Tonight, the pair covered "Vegemite" and "golly" did they learn a lot about "Water bewitched and tea begrudged". Not only that, they learned a little Gen Z slang, but you'll have to listen to find out what "The Dogs" are.
