Do you rip the house apart before you’ve even found the kettle… or move in, “live with it for a bit,” and slowly unravel as the to-do list multiplies? Gem and Revz compare the pair. The pros. The cons. The budget delusions. If you’re renovating, contemplating renovating, or traumatised by renovating, this one’s for you.

Gem’s still deep in her Formula 1 obsession and maybe Revz should join the club? Then: let’s talk phone etiquette, cos everyone’s too busy for pleasantries and we need to get to the point. Gem has returned from her Tassie hike and she is, allegedly, a changed woman. Of course, no reflective growth arc is complete without a near death experience. Gem retells the snake encounter, which naturally spirals into a broader discussion about Australia’s commitment to housing 97% of the world’s deadliest creatures. And finally, Revz gives heartfelt props to bone broth. You’re welcome DLs.

Exactly as our oracle Lu predicted last week, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson has sensationally quit her $100 million contract with KIIS FM following an on-air blow-up with longtime co-host Kyle Sandilands. Naturally, we had to jump straight on the mics to urgently unpack the bombshell statement, share our predictions on what Kyle and Jackie might do next, what this means for the future of Australian radio, and discuss why - at its core - the abrupt end of this radio dynasty feels really quite sad. Will Kyle and Jackie O ever be mates again? Is it all the blood moon’s fault? And, most importantly… are the astrologers okay? 🌙🔮

Reno Diaries is back, baby! If our summer series lit a little home-styling fire in you… welcome back to the renovation spiral. Revz is serving up all the cottage reno updates you’ve been missing: the progress, the plot twists, the budget side-eyes, and the “this will be quick and easy” lies we tell ourselves.

First up, boob check, you know the drill. Then, it’s a hard relate that time is getting faster but what does it mean if even your kids are shocked that it’s March?! Next, Gem brings a shocking revelation to the mic and Revz confirms. Then, the betrayal of thinking you chose an original baby name only to see it sitting smugly on the “Top Names” list for the past 10years. Cool. Plus, we’re taking a hard nostalgic turn, because kids have it WAY too easy these days. Remember when you had to call the Hoyts hotline to get movie times? And when you had to lift your Walkman every time the bus hit a speed hump so your CD wouldn’t skip? Character building.

We’re kicking off Tuesday with an aggressively niche IG algorithm that hijacked Revz’s Sunday doom scroll (no one asked for this content, yet here we are). Gem debriefs a date night with deeply average vibes — but if the food’s five-star, does the location even matter? She also shares how she accidentally passed her tablet-swallowing trauma onto one of her kids, because generational growth is a journey. And finally… Revz’s kids are staying in their own beds. Is this the moment we’ve all dreamed of? Or are we being set up? Happy Tuesday besties x
