Japan Has Invented Drinkable Mayo!
02/12/2024 Duración: 02minJapan has done it again—pushing the boundaries of taste and, well, sanity. Introducing Nomu Mayo, aka drinkable mayonnaise. Yep, it's a real thing, and it’s been hyped as the dream product for mayo enthusiasts everywhere. This chilled beverage captures the "rich and sour" essence of the beloved condiment, but here’s the twist: it’s dividing opinions faster than pineapple on pizza. One brave taster admitted, “If you sip it alongside mayo-friendly food, it’s alright... but as a standalone drink? Hard pass.” Honestly, mayo in a bottle for sipping sounds like something we’d dare each other to try on air—right, betch?

Full Show: Ricki-Lee Wants to Choke Someone?
27/11/2024 Duración: 57minToday’s show was packed tighter than Prince William’s military uniform! We started with the heartwarming story of Wanda and Jamal, the accidental Thanksgiving invite that turned into a nine-year friendship. Then we asked, what uniforms make you go “mmm”? Ricki’s obsession with Prince William’s attire spiraled into callers sharing their uniform crushes—it was steamy, to say the least. Next, the cinema debate: should you sing along during Wicked? Some say it’s a no-no, but The Rock thinks belting out the tunes will be mandatory for Moana 2. Speaking of Wicked, the Glossys had some juicy tea about a pay gap between stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

Full Show: Are You That Into Lin-Manuel Miranda?
26/11/2024 Duración: 57minToday’s show had everything: drama, creativity, and a few million-dollar bananas. We kicked things off by dissecting the new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills taglines, and yes, we tried coming up with our own. Let’s just say Joel’s tagline had a bit too much attitude for reality TV. Then it was straight to spuds—no, not Joel. A business on Shark Tank is cashing in by writing personal messages on potatoes. Yep, they’re making a literal hash of the competition! We also revealed Macquarie Dictionary’s Word of the Year—enshittification. Don’t worry; we broke it down for you, so you can start slipping it into conversations to sound intellectual (and a little cheeky). And now, for the pièce de résistance: Lin Manuel Miranda. We took a deep dive into why he’s an absolute genius… sort of. It was more of a Lin-credible, Lin-sane, Lin-tensely hilarious chat about his unmatched creativity and possibly why he’s the only person allowed to rhyme “Miranda” with “grande.” If you thought we were done, you’re wrong—Lin-deresti

She walks us through the horrifying history of “The Goat’s Tongue” torture method, where victims had their feet salted and licked raw by a goat until infection—and sometimes death—set in. It’s one of history’s weirdest and most grim methods of suffering, and somehow, we can’t stop listening. But that’s not all. We also dive into the bizarre invention of the “cumspin,” a ride engineered to deliver a euphoric death through immense G-force. Yep, we’re questioning everything too. This one’s not for the faint-hearted, but if you’re into twisted trivia and shocking inventions, you’re in for a treat!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
