On today’s show … Jess Adamson joins the show, with Erin in the sick bay today! After The Wiggles announced an adult-only tour for the big kids next year, we sent producer Thom to get some ‘exclusive’ audio from their most recent air-check; Shane and Soda go head-to-head in another battle of the ads, this time creating a unique ad for Sarah’s floral business, SASS FLORALS; during our chat with Mel Dzelde yesterday, Mel revealed the day she got her cancer diagnoses was the day she decided to start using the ‘good china’ in a bid to live each day to the fullest. That inspired Jess and Soda to talk about the things that used to get locked away in their homes as kids, saved for ‘special occasions’. We then opened the phones to ask Adelaide, ‘what only got used on special occasions at your house?’; and Soda received a very, unique, package from his mum Babs that has left us all with a few questions.
