It's a real "because the internet" kinda week, and we're unpacking North West's $20k lol gift for her mum, Meryl and Martin's possible hard launch (thanks Steve), and the plight of Mickey the Cockatoo.

A band called Lawrence are drawing attention on TikTok for their singer's huge wail, some people love it some people hate it, everyone is posting their reacs to it. Because the internet.

Bieber's love of slippers as outdoors wear has infiltrated high farshun and we are here for cosy o'clock. And we're banging on about new series Rivals and Dan Levy's directorial debut Good Grief.

Zan just realised The English Teacher is TJ Mack

Myf and Zan are back to bring some light into your week, and Polly Jean Harvey is gonna help. Did you hear that Myf has the Prime Minister on her Spicks and Specks team this weekend too? She'll give you all the goss.

Meanwhile Zan is punishing anyone who'll listen to watch The English Teacher - while also realising it's creator is also TJ Mack. It's a classic Gen X discovery of TikTok virality, a year too late.

And a piece on "treat culture" and why giving yourself a fancy smoothie or mani/pedi is the new vacation, has us intrigued. If internet chat is too much this week, look up. It's Aussie Bird Count week and a reminder to get your head outta your phone.

We're banging on about the Menendez Brothers series on Netflix 'Monsters', and a fascinating exploration into groupthink with the podcast Hysterical.

When Saoirse Ronan piped up we all heard it

It's Halloween and we're ghoulishly making our way through the week that was. Myf's been in the presence of The Mescal, while Zan has been singing Khe Sanh with her dad. Janelle Monae is ET and we're patiently awaiting what Heidi Klum will unveil.

One of the most viral videos of the week has us chatting too; Saoirse Ronan is all of us in that moment on Graham Norton's couch, trying to explain the realities women face to a bunch of nice guys. Mama Tina has a memoir, The Bear is The Boss, and Lily Allen is making more coin from her feet than her music. We'll unpack it all.

Myf's brought in some truly heinous farshun for the holiday, and we're banging on about a great Aussie film and an excellent longread on Netflix.
