Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel

We got nostalgic as today marks 25 years since the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony — from Vanessa Amorosi’s goosebump performance to Nikki Webster flying high at just 13.

Forget the grocery aisle: Aldi’s flogging Aston Martin F1 go-karts for 200 bucks, and now the betchmail is full of listeners daring us to race them. Should we put our money where our mouths are and hit the track once and for all?

We’ve got Albo rocking up in the wrong shirt to the wrong party, Glossy’s chaos with Ne-Yo’s four girlfriends (yes, four), Harry & Zoe sneaking out of JFK, and Joy spilling the tea on getting fired (twice!). Plus, Oasis hand out VIP spots while Gary Neville gets nosebleeds at the back, and we meet a Nonna who reckons coffee isn’t complete without a splash of limoncello at 10am. Oh — and we’ve got a chat with Sophie Ellis-Bextor you don’t want to miss.

We sat down with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and she was every bit the icon you’d hope for—warm, funny, and completely unfiltered. She opened up about balancing mum life with pop stardom, why she proudly called her album Perimenopop, and even joked about moving to Hungary for tax-free living with her five kids. Plus, we chatted Murder on the Dancefloor, Royal Otis, and the track she thinks you should play first.

Poor old Albo had himself a dress code disaster in the Solomon Islands. While every other leader showed up in coordinated navy polos, our PM strolled in rocking a bright pink Hawaiian number like he was ready for poolside cocktails. The moment he realised, he bolted for a quick-change and re-emerged in the right kit. Still—nothing says “leader of the Pacific” like looking like you’ve just been handed a Tommy Bahama gift card.
