Another day, another Regretcation disaster story. All week we’re celebrating the trips that went so wrong they became iconic. Each morning, one “holiday from hell” wins $500, and on Friday one of those heroic disasters scores a $10,000 dream getaway, thanks to RACV Travel & Experiences. It’s pure chaos, pure comedy, and pure catharsis. If you’ve ever had a trip im...

The show is away today, so we’re taking a look back at one of our favourite chaotic moments.. a segment fuelled by Ashes tension and the kind of energy that makes everyone a little too brave with their opinions. Christian opened the floor and lit the fuse, declaring that anyone over the age of ten saying “two more sleeps” needs to grow up immediately. Rio fired back with his own...

Christian wakes from his “Ashes coma” only to discover England’s record breaking collapse, and we relive every dramatic ball, headline, meltdown and burn. Rio tries to settle on a house that apparently doesn’t exist in any database, sparking a full show investigation into NMI numbers, electricity meters and the mysteries of adulting. And “Regretcation” week with...

England were cruising… until they weren’t. In one of the most outrageous opening Tests in Ashes history, the team manages to go from “unbeatable position” to “full scale capitulation” in just 99 balls. Christian emerges from a metaphorical coma, absolutely convinced England must have won, and the we break the truth to him gently. We relive the drama, the headli...
