And we really don’t. But also we wouldn’t mind. The last time Jim was here we spoke about his undies and this time we’re doing it again. Who knows why? He says he wears Lululemon underwear and titled his camera down today to give us a look when really we just wanted to talk to his assistant. It’s always chaotic when Jack is in town.

We wish we were joking. Kate recently went to her daughter Mae’s soccer training and found herself in a conversation with another parent who told her all about how to relieve a cat on heat. Apparently it’s legal, apparently it’s good for the cat, and apparently we all needed to know exactly how to do it. Thank you Kate for the weirdest and most insane segment we’ve ever done on air... like ever.

The lovely Sam Neill revealed he’s single and ready to mingle, but in a super slow fashion claiming he’s the slowest man to ever live. He’s been told he’s too slow to think, speak, walk, or move but we kind of love the slow lifestyle of being a big chiller. And in other news Sam revealed he recently had Cillian Murphy to stay on his farm and we just really wish we’d been apart of the sheep shearing and evening bonfire beers tbh

We’ll never forget the hilarious pop culture moment that was when an interviewer thought Charli XCX was Lorde, so Charli just went along with it.

We bloody love Wippa’s mother Christine. She came down to Sydney to support Wip as he made a television appearance on The Project to talk about his new initiative 36 months. While she was waiting backstage she got a bit handsy with Grinspoon’s Phil Jamieson, who was also a guest on The Project, and couldn’t take her hands off one particular body part...

We assume would be the slogan for the 'super nits' that have taken over Sydney schools these past weeks. This week we heard some of the wild things your kids have said in public and of course we cannot forget the nicknames you have for your neighbours.
