INTERVIEW | Melbourne's most magical winter night out is back

Loui had a bit of a moment in public — what started as a simple wave at a friend turned into an uncontrollable giggle fit that was very hard to explain. Sam meanwhile spotted his train and made a full sprint for it, only to find out it was running late the whole time. Two very public displays of losing the plot.

MIDWEEK CONFESSIONS | Sam ran for nothing and Loui couldn't keep it together

Midweek confessions are relatable this week — Loui descended into a giggle fit while waving at a friend that got away from them quickly, and Sam ran for a train that turned out to be running late. Classic.

On this day in 2007 the Sopranos aired its controversial finale, so Sam and Loui get into that ending and the other TV conclusions that still don't sit right.

Kara Ward from Lightscape joins the show to preview their event opening this week before Sam and Loui close out with a moment of midweek gratitude.

FULL SHOW | The Sopranos, a giggle fit and an unnecessary sprint

Matilda and Natalie started the morning with a nod to National Donald Duck Day, setting the tone for a very duck-inspired show.

With ducks already on the brain, they jumped into a classic “would you rather” question: would you rather take on one giant horse-sized duck, or one hundred duck-sized horses?

They then travelled back to Back to the Future Part II, looking at the movie’s predictions and discussing which inventions they think should have existed by now.

To finish the show, they kept the Disney energy going with a quiz to find out which Disney character they are, before challenging themselves to guess what Donald Duck was actually saying.

Presenters: Matilda Prelec, Natalie Hung
