Taylor Swift Ranks #2 in 'Greatest Popstars' List

Today’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.

We kept the laughs coming with Insta Fame Game, but Ricki thought it was Age Game (classic mix-up). Bridget Hustwaite joined us to plug Aus Music T-Shirt Day—don’t forget to support Aussie music legends!

And to cap it off, we got into the wild lies you told your parents. A UFC fighter’s claim that she was a doctor takes the cake. Plus, we crowned Taylor Swift as the #2 pop star of the 21st century—what’s her most-streamed song? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Today’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-derestimating us, perhaps?

Meanwhile, someone paid millions for a banana at an auction, proving that art is bananas—literally. We also wrapped things up with a Joel Jivin showdown themed around box office hits.

It’s a Lin-chanting, Lin-teresting, and wildly funny episode. Listen now before you feel Lin-excluded!
