THE CRUNCH | The tallest animal in the world

Sam, Ruta and new presenter Matilda jump into the Cereal Box for a Wednesday packed with mid-week confessions, quizzes and plenty of chaotic energy. From Buzzfeed personality tests inspired by Tall Girl to questionable listening habits, bird-and-bucket mishaps and a very unique way of eating ice cream, nothing stays serious for long.

The team catch up on the biggest pop culture moments they missed over the break — from Beckham headlines and Robert Irwin’s DWTS win to Stranger Things theories — before getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit with a rom-com quiz. There’s also chat about Laneway Festival, concert etiquette debates, and a competitive Crunch hosted by Ruta to wrap things up.
