That's Showbiz Baby!

We're back for 2026 baby! And honestly, a lot happened while we were gone. Our break saw Jordy saving her mum’s life (LITERALLY) & Alex surprising us all with a career pivot into a professional psychic tarot reader. Ironically, even she did see this one coming...

We discuss the dynamics of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship, and the ongoing controversy surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Alex whips out the tarot cards & gives us her prediction for the outcome & spoiler alert, it doesn't end well for Lively.

Of course, we have to weigh in on the new season of MAFS (the TSB Super Bowl). Alex weighs in on the alleged production techniques & Jordy is questioning how casting has never once run out of unhinged applicants.

Jordy & Alex recount their night at the Downton Abbey premiere, including a run-in with Smooth FM staff and spotting showbiz icon Patti Newton. They also discuss the upcoming John Farnham musical "Whispering Jack," which Jordy is DESPERATE to be a part of.

Alex has pitched an online series, 'Homo & a Gay' to the internet & the response has been overwhelming, with some big names reaching out to be involved.

Alex queries is Trump would like TSB, we discuss Snoop Dogg's problematic behaviour & it seems that Alex was right about Jojo Siwa & Chris Hughes...for now.

This week on TSB, Alex & Jordy discuss the decline and eventual end of "Neighbours." They explore the show's ratings drop, the move from Channel Ten to digital channel Peach, and the costs of producing drama in the streaming era.

We touch on Channel Ten's financial struggles, its acquisition by Skydance, and whether the return of "Big Brother" can help save the networks identity.

Alex reveals the Survivor AU juice she's been sitting on and we question whether a past contestant can become a successful host. Do you think David Genat is up to the task of filling the shoes of JLP?

Speaking of new hosts, Sam Armytage is about to hit screens on 9's reimagining of Golden Bachelor & there's already rumours swirling about her & THE BACH HIMSELF. Not going to lie, watching the host & leading man fall for eachother would make for DELICIOUS TV.

We move on to discuss Ellen DeGeneres’ reputation, workplace allegations, and the culture behind her show. We discuss conspiracy theories involving Ellen Degeneres that may have contributed to her downfall, including the most BIZARRE video of her former partner, Anne Hesch seemingly UNZIPPING herself from a body bag?!

But what can we really believe when when we get our info online, where ANYONE can say ANYTHING? All we know for sure is the higher the pedestal, the greater the fall...

Jordy & Alex are BACK from a short break & boy, do they have some yapping to do.

Whilst recovering in hospital, Jordy binged watched Netflix doco 'Fit for Television', & shows tge unethical treatment of contestants, extreme weight-loss demands, and lasting health impacts. The conversation shifts to modern weight loss trends, including the controversy over GLP-1 injections and celebrity endorsements, highlighting societal judgments and the complexities of influencer culture. It's all a mix of blurred lines between personal choice, advertising, and ethics in today’s media landscape & we honestly don't know where we sit on it all.

We have a laugh over a drunken Logies mishap & Jordy shares how Neighbours icon, Stefan Dennis slipped through our fingers as a TSB guest. But don't worry guys! We're working away behind the scenes to try & get some Ramsay St alum in the hotseat to celebrate the final ep later this year.

Alex & Jordy attended the Melbourne premiere of "Naked Gun" & we HAVE to talk about the SNOWMAN. Alex is convinced that the rumored Liam Neeson–Pam Anderson romance is all PR but Jordy wants to believe it's real. What are your thoughts?

We then dive into Taylor Swift’s appearance Travis Kelce's pod & her new albums tagline which is delightfully similar to the name of this very podcast. Naturally, Jordy thinks we should be first choice for any Australian media around the album, but Alex doesn't think she's worthy.

Alex accidentally spoiled the results of "MasterChef Australia" but they'll never guess who her source was & Jordy brings a show & tell album from her past to share with the class.
