  • A Breast Pump, An Airport Lounge & The Detail You Probably Missed

    A Breast Pump, An Airport Lounge & The Detail You Probably Missed
    Sep 17 2025
    Breast Pump Ban: It may sound like a headline from another era — but it happened to Dr Elise Turner this week in Melbourne when the mum of twins was told to leave an airport lounge for daring to express milk for her babies. But there’s one crucial detail that most of us missed and which Mia, Jessie and Amelia needed to dig deep into on today's show. And, an update on Bruce Willis’ condition from his wife in her confronting new memoir that hits home for anyone touched by dementia. Jessie shares her personal experience and unpacks the backlash Emma Heming Willis is getting online for the decisions she's making on behalf of her celebrity husband. Plus, Births, Deaths & Marriages. Mia’s got a new segment and a lot to say. From celebrity babies to red carpet chaos, she’s tying it all together… loosely, but entertainingly. Is it an excuse to (scurrilously) gossip about celebrities? Absolutely it is. Does she seamlessly segue into a controversial red carpet analysis? Of course she does. We also cover Trump: The Dibber Dobber and the 17 household habits that will clear mental clutter as much as they will your kitchen bench tops. Light and shade, friends. Light and shade.

  • An Assassination In Broad Daylight. And What Happened Next.

    An Assassination In Broad Daylight. And What Happened Next.
    Sep 15 2025
    The assassination of Charlie Kirk dominated the news all weekend. As the arguments rage online, we unpack the aftermath and what it means for political discourse moving forward. Then, a royal twist. Prince Harry’s return to the UK may have changed everything—and yes, it involves a specific cake with serious meaning. Plus, Jessie’s trend of the week: the 'mayor walk'. It’s power, it’s pep, it’s posture—and apparently, one of us was born to do it. (Mia, please sit down.)
