The boys kick off the show with a cheeky October energy boost before diving into the latest pop culture buzz, from the chaotic celebrity cast of The Traitors Australia to Jessica Alba being spotted on the Gold Coast and even rumours that Australia Zoo could be up for sale. Dave issues a heartfelt (and slightly glitter-covered) public apology to Taylor Swift, while Joel keeps him honest with some hilarious breakfast banter. They welcome Jane Woodlands-Thompson, newly appointed head coach of the Australian Kelpies, to chat about her groundbreaking role leading the men’s netball team into the World Cup. Later, Joel & Dave speak with Lee Crockford from Rainbow Giving Australia about GiveOUT Day 2025 and the power of community generosity and t hey test their trivia chops in Closest to the Pin. The show wraps up with a birthday shout-out to tennis legend Naomi Osaka, plus some poetic flair and a dose of good vibes to send you into the day.

Callum shares why reality TV felt like the “worst thing ever” at the time but turned out to be the turning point that gave him a career as a full-time singer. He also takes us behind the scenes of the wild Bring Back My Wives tour, where he went from rubbing oil on Laganja Estranja to corseting Eureka O’Hara (yes, that was his actual job for the day).

We also dive into:
Callum’s upcoming performance with opera superstar Danielle de Niese at the Melbourne Recital Centre
The rise of contemporary Australian opera, including Indigenous-led works that reimagine the artform
The art of making opera sound operatic with an Aussie accent (yes, he gives the team a mini vocal lesson live on air!)
His dream to tour Australia with musical theatre and the honesty about not yet being ready to release original music

It’s witty, warm, and a gorgeous mix of queer joy, classical chops, and camp Housewives energy.

Spencer shares what it meant to play one of the first openly gay characters on Australian television, how confronting that choice was at the time, and the powerful messages he’s received from fans who saw themselves represented on screen for the first time. He also opens up about his own coming out journey, the lessons NIDA left him with (yes, including “don’t screw the crew”), and the importance of embracing mistakes as part of growth.

Plus, Spencer gives us the inside scoop on his brand new podcast McLaren vs., where he chats with long-time friends and Australian icons like Shane Jacobson, Pia Miranda, Murray Bartlett, Eddie Perfect, and Christine Anu. Expect deep dives, big laughs, and surprising life lessons.
