Someone tried to spice up Christmas by ditching bonbons and handing out Amazon mystery parcels full of socks, cat toys and one very rogue bark control device. We got into Melbourne officially becoming the vinyl capital of the world with more record stores than hipsters can handle. Things got spicy when a husband called out his wife for never flushing and the internet absolutely tore him apart. The Met Gala co-chairs for 2026 dropped and Beyoncé is finally returning after ten long years. Plus a wild round of Quick Draw between Joel and Ricki to wrap it all up, betch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Fresh off the press! Speaking with Stephen Colbert, Taylor Swift reveals her favourite song of all time!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A woman has kicked off a full Christmas debate after swapping out traditional bonbon gifts for Amazon Returns Mystery Parcels. Instead of paper crowns and dad jokes, her guests unwrapped stuff like Christmas socks, vacuum storage bags, a bark-control device and even a random cat toy. Some thought it was genius, others reckoned it was absolute rubbish. It sparked a huge chat about re-gifting and whether it's creative or just plain dodgy, especially when people start accidentally re-gifting the exact present they were given years earlier.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's the final Four The Record for 2025! This week, Joe and Tim look back on the four biggest news stories of the year. LINKS Follow Tim Blackwell on Instagram Follow Joe Hildebrand on Instagram Read Joe's column in The Daily Telegraph See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The show kicked off with a Texas wedding where the groom had to literally step up for the kiss thanks to a sneaky step stool reveal. Then we got into the bartenders quietly judging all of us and honestly, fair enough. Rolling Stone dropped its huge list of the best Aussie and Kiwi tracks since 2001 and the top ten was a monster. The Glossy’s went feral with Sombr belting tunes from a scissor lift and Gaga shutting down a stage crasher in Brisbane. Plus, Tim’s chat with Yungblud, a wild new Sprite Zero sleep hack from the NFL world, and the latest spicy searches people have been typing into P*rnHub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tim sits down with Yungblud and things get chaotic in the best possible way. They look back on the early days, from tiny Sydney gigs to full blown arena tours, and Yungblud spills on the wild journey in between. There are big chats about friendship, fame, rock and roll, and a surprise Aerosmith twist that fans will froth over. Plus, he hints at something huge dropping in the new year. If you’re a Yungblud tragic, you’re going to want to hit play on this one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We kicked things off with the now iconic Bondi swimmer who did her laps at Icebergs while scrolling her phone like it was just another Tuesday. Then we took to the skies for Air New Zealand’s inflight rave where passengers basically got a DJ set between Auckland and Sydney. Tim’s chat with Lewis Capaldi gave us life, as always, before we dove into a Glossy’s buffet featuring Raye defending Taylor, Leo keeping things low key, and Tyra spinning a full Santa conspiracy at The Beresford. We wrapped with the tale that just won’t quit, the scientific proof that women’s farts apparently smell worse, and look, we’re still recovering.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A new study from the actual “King of Farts” claims women’s farts smell worse than men’s, and the show absolutely lost it. The gang broke down the science, which says blokes might let out more volume, but ladies pack a punch thanks to higher levels of hydrogen sulphide. Things spiralled fast into wet-lettuce chat, egg dumpling trauma and the undeniable horror of kids’ farts on planes. A caller even confessed to stinking out an entire long-haul flight out of pure spite.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Lewis Capaldi popped in for a yarn and honestly, it felt like catching up with an old mate at the pub. Tim grilled him about life on the road, writing one of his most vulnerable songs and why releasing it scared him more than actually creating it. Lewis opened up about taking a proper break from songwriting because he felt “creatively bankrupt” and is gearing up to start fresh in January. He also laughed about his meteoric rise from sinking beers at Splendour to billboards in Times Square and shared why having mates like Yungblud and Ed Sheeran in his corner keeps him sane. Plus, he told the very wholesome story of discovering Aussie opener Fletcher Kent and why he knew immediately he wanted him on the tour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Joel was fresh from Melbourne and absolutely buzzing after seeing Gaga tear the roof off Mayhem Ball. We then spiralled into a TikTok fever dream where a sweet grandma tried to light a birthday cake and basically nearly set the joint on fire. Mailbag was stacked with spicy listener chaos, including one very passionate debate about… diffusers. James Charles learned the Aussie way to squeeze tomato sauce and looked genuinely traumatised. We also unpacked Ellen DeGeneres ditching the UK because farm life is “a bit boring” and Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry hard launching their situationship. Plus we asked what you're scared of after learning Miley Cyrus is terrified of paper, which honestly feels very Miley.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Lady Gaga has wrapped up her Melbourne shows of the MAYHEM Ball, and of course Australia's biggest monster has some things to say.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's our final Mailbag of the year and it absolutely popped this week with everybody flexing their Spotify Wrapped. Madeleine, Mackenzie, Visenya and Kasper all slid into the DMs proudly showing they had us in their top listens which made our little podcast hearts grow three sizes. Joel then lost his mind because a full blown celeb gave our Rosie O’Donnell video a like on Insta and he has not emotionally recovered. Ricki got a follow up from Cathy and John who are still deep in their Marketplace investigation trying to work out if that Woodland Goddess painting really is her long lost twin. And Tim has officially become a timfluencer because the girlies want his diffuser link and, yes, they also want to know exactly where he gets that elite prawn toast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Joel took the day off because Gaga kicks off the Aussie leg of the Mayhem Ball tonight and honestly fair enough. We dived into Google’s top search trends for 2025 and then fell into a full feta chat after news of a sheep and goat plague in Greece that could squeeze global supplies. In the Glossys we hit everything from Katy Perry being mistaken as Justin Trudeau’s partner to Kim’s “ultimate bush thong” Christmas gifts and the wild backstory behind “Die With A Smile.” We also checked out the woman going viral for swimming at Bondi while scrolling her phone and threw back to our Gaga chat from March where she hinted this tour was coming.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We got talking about Greece’s sheep and goat plague and how it might lead to a global feta shortage. That sent us into a quick debate about what actually belongs in a Greek salad, how much feta is too much and why wet lettuce ruins everything.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Before Gaga does her first show in the country tonight, let's take you back to when... Mother Monster herself Lady Gaga opened up to us about her new album Mayhem, describing it as a collection of dark dreams expressed through celebration, with Abracadabra embodying resilience on the dancefloor. She shared how the music video, choreographed by Paris Goebel, represents the fight of life and was inspired by the strength and joy of the LGBTQ+ community. Gaga expressed deep gratitude to her queer fans, acknowledging their role in shaping her career and emphasizing the importance of standing together. Beyond music, Gaga revealed she’s prioritizing love, family, and creative freedom, even dreaming of writing her own Broadway show in the future. And in the chat, Gaga hints at an Aussie tour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week on Four The Record: Joe has the truth about the Prime Minister's surprise wedding to partner Jodie Haydon, plus Tony Burke under fire for helping ISIS brides return to Australia, but is the criticism fair?

Today we got into the global verdict on sexy accents and found out the Kiwis have somehow out-sizzled the rest of us, but hey we still cracked the top five so we’ll take it. George Clooney then floated in like a calm little zen cloud, explaining why he and Amal haven’t had a fight in a decade which made the rest of us feel deeply chaotic. Miranda Kerr popped up in Glossy’s living her best weather-girl fantasy and dropping a very enthusiastic Aussie Aussie Aussie that nearly shook the studio. And to top it off, The Wiggles stormed into Quick Draw and turned it into the most colourful showdown you’ve ever heard.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Two Wiggles rolled into the studio and suddenly we were all six years old again, but with more panic sweat. Simon and Tsehay jumped straight into Quick Draw like it was the Big Red Car Grand Prix and absolutely sent the room feral. There was Vegemite chat and a Nutbush moment that still lives in my head rent free. The game went right down to the wire too, with an ending that might just make the Tree of Wisdom sprout an extra branch. If you thought Wiggles shows got wild, you should see them in a trivia fight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Word on the street is Gaga has set up a full Aussie base camp while she hops between cities for her tour. She’s been spotted at fancy Sydney restaurants, quietly nesting like she’s moving in for the summer. Even though her first show is in Melbourne, she’s apparently chuffing back to her Sydney safe zone every chance she gets. It’s giving diva efficiency, it’s giving covert glamour, it’s giving “Australia is my Airbnb now.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Spotify Wrapped dropped and it sent our studio into full identity crisis mode. One of us found out we apparently have the listening habits of a teenager while another somehow clocked retirement age without knowing it. Sleep playlists, kids hijacking accounts and some truly rogue song choices all came out to play. We even had to face the brutal truth about which of us did not make it into our own top podcasts. If you think your Wrapped was embarrassing, wait till you hear ours.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why is this categorised under "comedy"? You could discover an unknown tribe in New Guinea who have never heard recorded audio, play them an episode of this podcast, and they'd say, "This is about as funny as a bag of shit in an air conditioner. Why are they laughing like fucking hyenas every time one of them opens their mouth?"
L!
