Old Mates Pub in downtown NYC is the VERY Australian themed pub that has become Wippa's home away from home while he's in town. Last night Wippa and Albo quite literally had a lock-in.

A massive moment for our Wippa. Not only has the Prime Minister learnt "Wippa" isn't his real name, but he also got to speak at the U.N. To support him in such a big moment, Wippa's parents joined him in New York. Overflowing with pride no doubt, but Wippa caught his mum doing something probably not "the done thing" at the U.N. On the topic of "not the done thing" the new NSW top cop has quite the history! It included being found l...

Wippa's in NYC for the UN General Assembly, along with one or two world leaders. One world leader's on his home turf and has the power to shut the streets down as required, and that's exactly what happened as Wip was trying to make his way around the city. He wasn't the only one stuck in The Don's roadblocks, with French President Emmanuel Macron giving Don a buzz from behind the barrier to give him an earful. In other news, a Brit...

Imagine being a mad footy fan, but never being able to actually go to games. Well that's exactly what we heard about in this chat where girlfriends called in to dob in their big tough boyfriends for what they might be scared of. But flying is ok to be scared of. It's not at all funny- just ask Wippa.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
