Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before Gaga does her first show in the country tonight, let's take you back to when... Mother Monster herself Lady Gaga opened up to us about her new album Mayhem, describing it as a collection of dark dreams expressed through celebration, with Abracadabra embodying resilience on the dancefloor. She shared how the music video, choreographed by Paris Goebel, represents the fight of life and was inspired by the strength and joy of the LGBTQ+ community. Gaga expressed deep gratitude to her queer fans, acknowledging their role in shaping her career and emphasizing the importance of standing together. Beyond music, Gaga revealed she’s prioritizing love, family, and creative freedom, even dreaming of writing her own Broadway show in the future. And in the chat, Gaga hints at an Aussie tour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Four The Record: Joe has the truth about the Prime Minister's surprise wedding to partner Jodie Haydon, plus Tony Burke under fire for helping ISIS brides return to Australia, but is the criticism fair?

Today we got into the global verdict on sexy accents and found out the Kiwis have somehow out-sizzled the rest of us, but hey we still cracked the top five so we’ll take it. George Clooney then floated in like a calm little zen cloud, explaining why he and Amal haven’t had a fight in a decade which made the rest of us feel deeply chaotic. Miranda Kerr popped up in Glossy’s living her best weather-girl fantasy and dropping a very enthusiastic Aussie Aussie Aussie that nearly shook the studio. And to top it off, The Wiggles stormed into Quick Draw and turned it into the most colourful showdown you’ve ever heard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two Wiggles rolled into the studio and suddenly we were all six years old again, but with more panic sweat. Simon and Tsehay jumped straight into Quick Draw like it was the Big Red Car Grand Prix and absolutely sent the room feral. There was Vegemite chat and a Nutbush moment that still lives in my head rent free. The game went right down to the wire too, with an ending that might just make the Tree of Wisdom sprout an extra branch. If you thought Wiggles shows got wild, you should see them in a trivia fight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Word on the street is Gaga has set up a full Aussie base camp while she hops between cities for her tour. She’s been spotted at fancy Sydney restaurants, quietly nesting like she’s moving in for the summer. Even though her first show is in Melbourne, she’s apparently chuffing back to her Sydney safe zone every chance she gets. It’s giving diva efficiency, it’s giving covert glamour, it’s giving “Australia is my Airbnb now.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spotify Wrapped dropped and it sent our studio into full identity crisis mode. One of us found out we apparently have the listening habits of a teenager while another somehow clocked retirement age without knowing it. Sleep playlists, kids hijacking accounts and some truly rogue song choices all came out to play. We even had to face the brutal truth about which of us did not make it into our own top podcasts. If you think your Wrapped was embarrassing, wait till you hear ours.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're kicking things off with Cody’s epic snowman revenge in Kentucky... he built it on a fire hydrant to stop car-crashers, and it worked brilliantly. Kylie Kelce spills on the tunes that get tigers in the mood (yes, really), while John Legend clears up how he legally became Legend without touching the porn industry. Kim Kardashian is dropping her “Ten Kimmandments” MasterClass, and Hugh Jackman & Kate Hudson gave a surprise Neil Diamond tribute performance in NYC. We also marvel at a paralysed man using a brain implant to finally order a beer, and chuckle at the raccoon in Virginia that went on a full-on booze bender.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A raccoon broke into a liquor store in Virginia and went on a rampage, drinking bottles of scotch and whisky from the bottom shelves.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kicked things off by trying to answer the very serious question of what food we'd eat every day for a whole year if someone slapped five million bucks on the table. We each picked our comfort classics, from Big Macs to prawn toast to butter chicken that no one is ashamed of anymore. The callers absolutely delivered, including Sue who has been smashing lamb shank and veg soup for four years straight like it is her religion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kicked things off with a chef turning raw mince into a giant Labubu meatloaf that somehow made it from the oven to her mouth. A two year old stole the spotlight at the UK Snooker Championships with a mock walk out that was cuter than anything on TV. The ShamWow guy popped up again, this time running for Congress and railing against wokeism like it’s still 2009. The Glossy’s delivered everything from Will and Kate bonding over icy dips to Simon Cowell apologising for being a bit of a punish back in his Idol days plus Charlie Puth standing up to a Whitney stan and Lorde backing the wildest White Lotus storyline. Countess Luann then dialled in with tales of tequila soaked bush dives, cabaret glamour and her dream of an OG Housewives reunion on Below Deck. And we wrapped with the world’s biggest Viking poo sitting proudly in a museum because why wouldn’t it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ‘ShamWow guy’, Offer Vince Shlomi, who graced people’s screens for years with his famous infomercials is running for Congress... and vows to end wokeism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Countess Luann steps in like pure cabaret royalty and instantly delivers stories that remind you why she’s an all time Housewives icon. She teases her first ever Australian tour, promises a full glam cabaret packed with her greatest hits and even reveals the real tales behind songs like Money and Chic. She shares her soft bush tequila mishap in Mexico, her dream of an OG New York reunion on Below Deck and why Giovanni will absolutely be making the trip to Bondi. It’s Luann in full fabulous flight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We start with the ultimate Christmas debate—Home Alone crowned the greatest holiday movie ever, with Macaulay Culkin revealing his kids have no clue he’s Kevin. Michael Jackson impersonators are apparently the hangover cure of choice after birthday bashes. In the mailbag, a 1960s Woodlands Goddess print sparks nostalgia (and $525 questions), while Joel delivers a wildly unhinged apology for his Perth charity ball antics. Meghan Markle faces online roast territory again, Schoolies hits the Gold Coast with a wholesome 5K run, and one husband’s insanely detailed pizza order for his pregnant wife goes viral, proving some men are doing it right.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meghan Markle’s Thanksgiving just went viral for all the wrong reasons... rings on while stuffing the turkey has the internet dubbing her “Salmonella Sussex.” Taylor Swift is reportedly globetrotting for multiple star-studded bachelorette parties, from Nashville to Italy and beyond. Over in Florida, Brian Littrell is taking a trespassing fan to court after she allegedly kept storming his private beach... he’s chasing $75K AUD in damages. And Paul Anka spills jaw-dropping Sinatra sauna secrets, confirming that those legendary “crown jewels” stories? Totally real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel steps into a classy Perth charity ball and somehow leaves the place looking like the aftermath of a soap opera finale. From swanning around in borrowed pearls with full Shiraz-auntie energy to vanishing for 45 minutes to write Big Brother jokes, the man was on a tear. He skipped queues, talked himself up like he was running the joint and bid against himself in the auction without realising he was the only bidder. By the time he hissed at a stranger on the way back to the drinks, the damage was done and the legend was born. The full story is messy, unhinged and absolutely worth hearing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kick off with Jamaica delivering the ultimate Cool Runnings sequel by actually winning their first ever international bobsleigh gold, complete with an emotional, hurricane shaken dedication that’ll smack you right in the feels. Dick Van Dyke then turns 100 next month and reckons the secret is gym sessions and zero grudges which feels both wholesome and slightly intimidating. The Glossys go full chaos with William and Kate cheering Rob Irwin, Mariah seasoning the internet, drama around Hugh and Taylor, Eminem crashing an NFL game and a wild legal doc bombshell. We wrap with Christmas decorations boosting your mental health and Elon Musk hitting a net worth so big it needs its own postcode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel's got the scoop on a Hollywood icon who’s about to hit triple digits and reckons he’s cracked the code on staying upright for a century. It’s part gym routine, part good vibes, and absolutely not what you’d expect from someone who’s been tap dancing since colour TV.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki’s fired up about a real life moment that feels straight out of one of her all time favourite films. A team everyone underestimated just flipped the script on the world stage, delivered a history making win, and did it with pure heart. There’s passion, pride, and a little island magic in this one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
