  • #15 - CALLING OUR EX TO USE THERE DISNEY+ IS NORMAL RIGHT?

    52:53|
    Look, we’ve played some weird stuff on Star 106.3, but Adam calling his ex, Steph, to ask for her Disney+ password—only to have her new bloke, Sebastian, answer the phone—might be a new high (or low) for us. We’re also diving deep into the absolute mystery of the Opus safe. It’s been locked for 15 years, and even after Jake brought in a "savant" to crack it, the result was a total Townsville-style disaster. Plus, "Tim Cook" stopped by to tell us why he’s actually retiring, and it turns out he’s just as obsessed with cash as he is with iMessages.We also get stuck into some of the grimmest wedding stories you’ve ever heard. We’re talking about aunts hooking up with grooms, grooms hooking up with bridesmaids, and a poor kid at the RSL who caused a "footprint" situation that’ll make you want to burn your carpet. From Bethany getting booted from a Japanese bathhouse to Jake failing his way through another week of promotions, this is the best (and weirdest) of the week.Full Chapter List[0:00] – Intro & The Ex-Files: Adam tries to keep his Disney+ access by calling his ex, Steph.
