Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel

Joel was fresh from Melbourne and absolutely buzzing after seeing Gaga tear the roof off Mayhem Ball. We then spiralled into a TikTok fever dream where a sweet grandma tried to light a birthday cake and basically nearly set the joint on fire. Mailbag was stacked with spicy listener chaos, including one very passionate debate about… diffusers. James Charles learned the Aussie way to squeeze tomato sauce and looked genuinely traumatised. We also unpacked Ellen DeGeneres ditching the UK because farm life is “a bit boring” and Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry hard launching their situationship. Plus we asked what you're scared of after learning Miley Cyrus is terrified of paper, which honestly feels very Miley.

Lady Gaga has wrapped up her Melbourne shows of the MAYHEM Ball, and of course Australia's biggest monster has some things to say.

It's our final Mailbag of the year and it absolutely popped this week with everybody flexing their Spotify Wrapped. Madeleine, Mackenzie, Visenya and Kasper all slid into the DMs proudly showing they had us in their top listens which made our little podcast hearts grow three sizes. Joel then lost his mind because a full blown celeb gave our Rosie O’Donnell video a like on Insta and he has not emotionally recovered. Ricki got a follow up from Cathy and John who are still deep in their Marketplace investigation trying to work out if that Woodland Goddess painting really is her long lost twin. And Tim has officially become a timfluencer because the girlies want his diffuser link and, yes, they also want to know exactly where he gets that elite prawn toast.

Joel took the day off because Gaga kicks off the Aussie leg of the Mayhem Ball tonight and honestly fair enough. We dived into Google’s top search trends for 2025 and then fell into a full feta chat after news of a sheep and goat plague in Greece that could squeeze global supplies. In the Glossys we hit everything from Katy Perry being mistaken as Justin Trudeau’s partner to Kim’s “ultimate bush thong” Christmas gifts and the wild backstory behind “Die With A Smile.” We also checked out the woman going viral for swimming at Bondi while scrolling her phone and threw back to our Gaga chat from March where she hinted this tour was coming.

We got talking about Greece’s sheep and goat plague and how it might lead to a global feta shortage. That sent us into a quick debate about what actually belongs in a Greek salad, how much feta is too much and why wet lettuce ruins everything.
