Is It Handball Or Downball?

Tue, 03 Feb 2026

We stumbled into the most divisive schoolyard debate of all time—what do you actually call that game where you hit a ball between squares? Tim and Ricki always knew it as handball, Joel called it Foursquare in Perth, but then a TikToker claimed it's actually called downball and the floodgates opened. Listeners rang in from all over Australia with completely different names depending on where they grew up and what size ball you're using.

Full Show: Orecchiette!

Mon, 02 Feb 2026

The Grammys were pure chaos—Cher forgot to present an award, walked off stage, came back and accidentally announced Luther Vandross as the winner (he died in 2005). Bieber performed in his boxers, Lola Young dropped an F-bomb, and Olivia Dean won Best New Artist. Brooklyn Beckham's getting roasted for making "spaghetti bolognese" with orechiette pasta instead of actual spaghetti—guess he couldn't ear the recipe properly. A UFC fighter's toupee got knocked off mid-fight and he blamed his mum's shampoo. We opened the mailbag after announcing the big changes and listeners are in their feelings. Plus Mariah sat stone-faced watching artists attempt her impossible songs at the MusiCares tribute—her shade face was everything.

Australia's Reaction to Our Break-Up

Mon, 02 Feb 2026

It's our first Mailbag Monday since announcing the big changes, and listeners are in their feelings. We're breaking up the drive show gang—Ricki and Tim are moving to Sydney breakfast on February 9, Joel's going solo in the afternoons, and Fitzy, Wippa and Kate are taking over drive. People sent in the sweetest messages about how the show's been their comfort podcast through high school, pregnancy insomnia, and daily commutes, while others threatened to kidnap Joel's girlfriend if we split up (jokes... kind of). Someone roasted Tim for wearing actual pants instead of girls' skinny jeans in the announcement photo, and we reminded everyone you can still catch us from 6-7pm across Australia.

Cher FORGOT to Present a Grammy Award!

Mon, 02 Feb 2026

The Grammys were absolutely chaotic and we're breaking down all the best moments. Cher was supposed to present Record of the Year but instead ad-libbed about her career, then just walked off stage without giving out the award—Trevor Noah had to call her back, and when she finally read the winner she accidentally said Luther Vandross (who died in 2005) instead of Kendrick Lamar. F-bombs were dropping left and right, Jamie Foxx wore the same giant novelty hat he had on at dinner with us, and Beyoncé showed up fashionably late with just Jay-Z, Blue Ivy, and her bodyguard at a tiny table. Bieber performed in his boxers and socks with his eyes closed the entire time, and somehow Michelle Yeoh got a Razzie nomination for Wicked even though Defying Gravity won a Grammy.
