Ben Affleck is making headlines again, but it's not the JLo rumours we need to discuss, it's a Tik Tok video. Creepy or sexy? We discuss.

Plus, what’s happening in India? Is Australia’s travel ban racist? The biggest discussion in the news this week concerns India and our borders. With The Quicky's Claire Murphy in the hot seat, we’re answering all your questions...

And, after 27 years of marriage, Bill and Melinda Gates have announced they’re getting divorced… why do we care so much and what do we suspect has actually gone down?

THE END BITS

So, What Really Happened Between Bill And Melinda Gates?

Already, 26 Australian women have been killed this year by men close to them. And while our Federal Government plans to “end gender-based violence in one generation”, we have decided enough is enough. 

Mia is back for round two, to debate whether Arj Barker should have kicked a breastfeeding mother out of his comedy show. But now that we've heard from both sides (a lot... maybe too much), has Jessie changed her stance?

And, why Elon Musk has started beef with Australian politician Jacqui Lambie? We explain and let's be honest... this was certainly not on our 2024 bingo card!

It might be Monday... but everyone is still talking about Taylor Swift's new double album The Tortured Poets Department. But is it time for Taylor to stop being petty to those who've crossed her? We can't agree. 

Plus, a debate about pepper spray and whether or not laws should be changed to better arm women against male violence. It’s complicated. 

And, Victoria Beckham is a big birthday girlie. She's just celebrated the big five zero, but the way she’s celebrating delivers a universal truth about women and milestone birthdays and we have thoughts. 

The End Bits: 
Listen to the latest episode: Mia Re-thinks Her Relationship With Social Media
Read: Kim Kardashian is seemingly slammed in Taylor Swift's new album. Their fight escalated well before this.
Read: A Melbourne mum took her baby to Arj Barker's show when he asked her to leave.
