00:07Has Albo banned you from social media?
00:11Don't pick up an encyclopedia
00:15Don't play outside or learn long division
00:19Just sit on the couch and watch television
00:26It's the big black box that your parents
00:29Watch with five whole channels
00:32Who needs TikTok?
00:34Give the ABC a chance to impress
00:37Or there's porn on SBS
00:41It's not all like this, is it?
00:44If you watch YouTube instead of Gardening Australia
00:48Albo's gonna put your parents into jail-ia
00:52Exercise is risky, the world's a disaster
00:55You can trust everything on the public broadcast
00:59Why expose yourself to online harassment
01:03When you can watch abuse in real life on maps
01:07Then stop Instagramming
01:09Or watch some ads for gambling
01:11There's no way around it
01:13So don't try to confound it
01:15These new laws are watertight
01:18So...
01:19Oh, I just got in
01:21What?
01:22I had two more verses
01:24Oh
01:25Well, let's see what crap's on tonight
01:44Hello and welcome to The Weekly
01:45I'm Charlie Pickering
01:46It's our first episode for 2026
01:48And we've got a great show for you tonight
01:50Scout Boxall checks in with your New Year's resolutions
01:53Andy Zaltzman wraps up the ashes
01:55And we take a look through your search history
01:58With the one and only Rhys Nicholson
02:03And as always, we've watched all the news
02:05So that you don't have to
02:06So let's get this show on the road with The Week
02:13And we kicked off the year with some good old-fashioned
02:16US-backed regime change
02:18President Trump says the US carried out large-scale strikes on Venezuela overnight
02:23He says its president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, Celia Flores
02:28Have been captured and flown out of the country
02:30Nicolas Maduro has spent the night behind bars in the US
02:33After he and his wife were abducted on drug trafficking charges
02:37Trump posted an image on his social media account
02:41Claiming that he is the acting president of Venezuela
02:44A stunning move from Trump
02:46Who, until very recently, thought of Venezuela
02:49Was one of those things people blow at the soccer
02:53But this isn't my first US invasion rodeo
02:57I know what's really going on here
02:59The president tells the world some dictator's a really bad guy
03:03Who has to be taken out to keep us all safe
03:05And the whole time hiding the truth
03:07Never admitting that really, it's all about oil
03:10We'll be selling large amounts of oil
03:13We're going to get the oil flowing
03:14We're in the oil business
03:15The oil companies are going to be very happy
03:17Everything follows oil
03:18It affects the truck that delivers doughnuts
03:21It affects the stove that makes the doughnuts
03:23Donald Trump doing whatever it takes
03:25To secure America's strategic doughnut reserves
03:28And Trump's not just after the oil under the ground
03:32This week, the US seized a fifth oil tanker linked to Venezuela
03:36All perfectly legal under the United Nations' Yoink Conventions
03:41Meanwhile, Maduro has been sitting in the infamous Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Centre
03:46No more steak and cigars for Nicolas Maduro
03:50A typical 5am breakfast at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn
03:54Consists of cereal and skim milk
03:56Lunch, served at 10am, is a fish sandwich
03:59Yeah, they're not allowed to waterboard you anymore
04:02But at 10am they can force feed you a fish sandwich
04:06I think I'd rather be waterboarded
04:08All in all, it's been a huge fall from grace for Maduro
04:11His brazen swagger was with him till the end
04:14Here a few months ago claiming he was bigger than Taylor Swift
04:23Yeah, you might laugh, but wait until you hear Life of a Showgirl Maduro's version
04:30To Friday, and after weeks of pressure
04:33Anthony Albanese finally announced a royal commission into anti-Semitism
04:37So who changed his mind?
04:39Was it Jewish groups?
04:40Community leaders?
04:41Legal experts?
04:42A letter signed by 70 Australian sports stars demands a royal commission
04:47Many of our sporting greats, from Olympic gold medal winners to champions of our football codes
04:53Dozens of other athletes, including Aussie tennis star Leighton Hewitt and surfer Mick Fanning
04:59Yeah, and when a guy who professionally punches sharks says it's time to act, you act
05:05Even when he was asked if he took too long to call the royal commission
05:09Albo put it in terms that athletes would appreciate
05:12This is actually a record time for the calling of a royal commission
05:16It's a record time! Come on guys, it's a PB!
05:20It is the fastest since the awesome foursome pressured Paul Keating
05:23into calling a royal commission into peaches, mango, peaches
05:26I don't know if it's worth a clap, but thank you
05:32So, who else signed this letter to Albo?
05:35Well, you've got Ian Thorpe, great bloke
05:38Pat Rafter, great bloke
05:40Wayne Carey
05:43And also Sam Newman, one signatory
05:46Yeah, but one signatory who has had real-life, first-hand experience with anti-Semitism
05:52Earlier this year, AFL identity Sam Newman interviewed neo-Nazis on his podcast
05:57Yeah, and by first-hand experience of anti-Semitism, I mean first, he shook the hand of the anti-Semite
06:06Albo's next royal commission, how did Sam Newman get a podcast?
06:12Still to come, Ash's tragic Andy Zaltzman laments England's tragic ashes
06:16Reece Nicholson knows what you've been searching online when you think no one's watching
06:20And why Elon Musk's latest AI creation may already have broken the law
06:25But first, you might not know this, but on January 9th we celebrated National Quitters Day
06:30The day that most people give up on their New Year's resolutions
06:35Each year, around 74% of Australians make resolutions
06:39But 88% of us fail within two weeks
06:42Here to talk us through it is our instant expert, Scout Boxall
06:50Hello Charlie, after the bacchanalian binge of Christmas and the flaccid dissociation of Gooch Week
06:56I rang in 2026 by watching my favourite celebration
07:00Uh, my New Year's coverage?
07:03God, no, um, I was watching a live stream of the Los Angeles Smoking Death billboard
07:08What?
07:09Okay, every year the American Heart Association keeps a tally of everyone who's died from smoking
07:14On a billboard in Los Angeles
07:16And then at midnight on December 31st it resets to zero
07:20And people go absolutely feral for it
07:23One, four, three, two...
07:36It's the perfect summation of New Year's Eve
07:38Like it's an arbitrary temporal boundary
07:40A fresh start
07:41A false promise that we can conquer death itself
07:44But that illusion is shattered almost immediately
07:46As the counter marks another brave soldier lost to the darts
07:57What a grim start to the year
07:59So, is it worth setting a New Year's resolution?
08:03Well, very few people carry their New Year's promises to term
08:06And things are not looking promising for this couple in Adelaide
08:09Any New Year's resolutions?
08:11Babies!
08:13Yeah, we'll see how it goes
08:15We'll see how it goes
08:18My New Year's prediction, it's not going to be his
08:21Alright, so what is the point of resolutions if no one can stick to them?
08:25Well, tying intentions to the start of the year is quite powerful
08:28For a few precious weeks we actually do have more willpower and more motivation
08:32And researchers have dubbed it the fresh start effect
08:35Right, so is there any way we can keep that fresh start effect going all year?
08:39Well, this year I'm embarking on a bold experiment
08:43I'm going to shove 12 years into one
08:47Between now and December I am very bravely culturally co-opting every single New Year
08:53So every day can be a fresh start
08:56I will be observing
08:57Lunar New Year
08:58Tibetan New Year
08:59Balinese New Year
09:00Persian New Year
09:01Thai New Year
09:02Islamic New Year
09:03Maori New Year
09:04Mandean New Year
09:04Tamil New Year
09:05Rosh Hashanah and a happy Diwali to you
09:07Oh wow
09:07And also to you
09:09Although I have to say
09:10That does seem problematic
09:12Fair point
09:13Well maybe I'll just take inspiration from the Los Angeles smoking death counter
09:17And create my own festive billboard
09:19Which resets every three months
09:20When a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in North Carolina
09:25Let there be a thousand blossoms bloomed
09:28Would you please thank Scott Boxall everybody
09:37Entertainment news
09:39It's the big news from the glamorous world of celebrity
09:42With real stories from news.com.au
09:45And what better way to kick off the year than to take a look back at some of the biggest
09:50stories of 2025
09:52In the Big Apple Jodie Foster was facing something scarier than Hannibal Lecter
09:57The New York subway
09:58And she was about to have a massive stack
10:01Whoa
10:02Whoa
10:03Let's see that again
10:04Space Black
10:05She might have got a seat
10:07But Jodie's definitely got egg on her face
10:10The biggest thing on US TV screens last year
10:13Thank you for changing my life
10:15Was our own baby crocodile hunter Robert Irwin
10:18But some fans thought something was off about his performance on Dancing With The Stars
10:23There certainly was
10:24Who the hell let him put a shirt on
10:26Someone's getting fired
10:28Back in Oz with Girl Next Door Abby Chatfield
10:31Every year I think that I get better and smarter
10:34Who made waves launching her new career as an artist
10:37Wow they're so much better than Vincent van Gogh
10:40I'm tipping she'll cut off her whole head
10:42Also making headlines was Abby's boyfriend Adam Hyde
10:46He isn't afraid to look like a dickhead
10:48And he certainly did when he got the blue wiggle Anthony Field in hot water
10:52With his sexy TikTok about drugs
10:55But the biggest scandal
10:57Word on the street is Adam Hyde is the secret love child of Freddie Mercury
11:01And Kenny G
11:03And finally over to Windsor Castle
11:05Where the king pulled out a funny little flute
11:07And he played that fat carrot like a boss
11:12Yes bitch, drop that beat
11:16That was Entertainment News
11:21Movie Crew 2 Saturday
11:23And with the Australian Open set to kick off
11:25There's a new favourite to take out the women's title
11:27After this stunning professional debut in Kenya
11:30A player who looked like she had never played the sport professionally before
11:34Was given a wild card by organisers of a tennis tournament in Nairobi
11:38Vision has gone viral of a third tier professional tournament in Kenya
11:41Where organisers included an Egyptian player
11:44Who looked like she had never picked up a racket
11:46Unsurprisingly she lost in 37 minutes
11:48Serving 20 double faults and winning just three points
11:52In a press conference afterwards
11:54Hajar Abdelkader was asked
11:55What inspired her to compete in a sport
11:57For which she was so woefully unqualified
12:00Her answer?
12:01Ray Gun
12:05Staying on sport
12:08May she never rest
12:09Staying on sport
12:10And Sunday saw a huge upset in English football
12:13The biggest upset in the 153 year history of the FA Cup
12:16Overnight
12:17Non-league side Macclesfield
12:18Has stunned
12:20Defending champions
12:21Crystal Palace
12:22Knocking them out 2-1
12:23And they've done it!
12:26You've just witnessed
12:28Something truly special
12:30This
12:31Is one of the greatest ever upsets
12:33They always spoke before the game
12:35But I had a little bit of hope in the FA Cup
12:37But do they really believe it?
12:38Probably not
12:39An emotional win for Macclesfield
12:41I think
12:42I couldn't understand a word of that
12:44So just how unlikely was this win?
12:47The biggest of upsets we've surely ever seen in the history of the competition
12:52Macclesfield, National League North
12:54Sitting in 14th
12:56117 places below the visitors
12:57The semi-professional regional team Macclesfield
13:00Beat Premier League side Crystal Palace
13:04To put that in perspective
13:05It would be like if Carlos Alcaraz
13:07Was beaten by this lady
13:10Or
13:11Or if the Australian cricket team
13:13Was beaten by
13:14England
13:15And on the topic of cricket
13:19Australia won the final Ashes Test in Sydney on Thursday
13:22Taking the series 4-1
13:24And in a final humiliation
13:26England's coach Brendan McCallum
13:27Was caught cheating
13:29He looks pretty relaxed there
13:30Baz McCallum
13:31Doing his crossword
13:33Hang on Baz
13:34You've got to be careful there
13:35On national TV
13:36Looking up the answers on the back
13:38There
13:38Caught red handed
13:42Shameful
13:43Shameful
13:44You know every Aussie knows
13:46If you write down an answer wrong
13:47You just rub it out with some sandpaper
13:50It was a forgettable series for England
13:53But there's one Englishman
13:54Who sadly can still remember it all
13:56Please welcome Andy Zoltzman
14:01Andy
14:02This was a disaster for the English team
14:05What went wrong?
14:06What do you mean what went wrong Charlie?
14:08It mostly went right
14:09Let's not forget
14:10England actually had their best Ashes tour
14:13For 15 long years
14:14Well best least shite
14:16But I mean it's basically the same
14:17If you take out the 96 balls that England lost wickets to
14:20They actually batted really well
14:21I mean that's 2,500 odd for nought
14:24A lot was made after this comment by Brendan McCullum
14:28After going down 2-0 in the second test
14:30Leading into this test match I actually felt like we overprepared to be honest
14:35Was England overprepared?
14:37Well that very much depends what you mean by overprepared
14:40If you meant they'd spent an overpreparing
14:45Then yes
14:45In 2020's language doesn't mean what it used to mean
14:49Words often mean the opposite of what they used to mean
14:51Like sick, wicked, leader of the free world
14:54So when McCullum said overprepared
14:57It is possible that he meant patently underprepared
14:59For the technical and mental challenges of an Oasis series
15:02In a startling and unprofessional manner
15:03So there we go
15:04This video also went viral of England opener Ben Duckett
15:08After a big night out in Noosa
15:10Do you know what you're saying?
15:11Do you know how to get home?
15:12No
15:13Did England party too hard in Australia?
15:16I don't think anyone should judge them adversely
15:18For having a quiet drink and reflecting on their mistakes
15:21It's just that they seem to have one drink per each mistake
15:26So that's a lot of drinks
15:27The final controversy came on the last day of the final test
15:33When Jake Wetherold was given not out
15:36Despite the Snicko microphone picking up a faint noise of bat on ball
15:41If we can't trust the third umpire anymore
15:43How should we judge if a batter is out?
15:46That's a good question Charlie
15:47And of course in 2026
15:48Functioning technology is a bit too much to ask
15:51And Snicko sadly seems to have fallen into the trap
15:53Of so much modern technology
15:55It started as a nice idea
15:57But now it's just making everyone more and more angry
15:59Miserable and confused
16:00And driving humanity into a pit of inescapable despair
16:05So what are the alternatives?
16:06AI maybe?
16:08I don't think AI is an option
16:09If you use AI you'll have players given out
16:11Because their weirdly shaped unexpected third pad is bang in front of middle scum
16:16So we've got to look for other options
16:18Maybe a heart monitor if the batter's heart rate speeds up
16:21That shows guilt, you're out
16:23Jury trial, that's another option
16:25If 12 members of the crowd get to decide
16:27Get the lawyers involved
16:28I mean okay an LBW decision might take eight years
16:31Once it's been through the appeals court
16:32And over rates are bad enough as it is
16:34But it's more important to get the correct decision Charlie
16:37Or maybe, and this is an alternative from just an England point of view
16:40One option would be to stop taking wild swipes at rising balls outside off stump on bounty pitches
16:46Or trying ill-advised pull and hook shots
16:48With five fielders out on the leg side
16:49Waiting for you to try an ill-advised pull or hook shot
16:52Or planking a bouncer from Marnus sodding Labashane over deep extra bloody cover
16:56Just before the arsing lunch break
16:58And also just before the f***ing new f***ing ball becomes f***ing a single
17:01That might help too
17:03This seems to have hit you hard Andy
17:06It's okay Charlie, I'll be alright within four years
17:08It's only a game
17:10And we've still got this little chap in London
17:13Would you please thank Andy Zoltzman?
17:22To Monday and at the Golden Globes
17:24Aussie Rose Byrne took out the prize for best female actor in a musical or comedy
17:29Unfortunately her husband Bobby Cannavale couldn't be there
17:32But he had a damn good reason
17:35I want to thank my husband Bobby Cannavale
17:37Who couldn't be here because he's um
17:40We're getting a bearded dragon and he went to a reptile expo in New Jersey
17:45Just showing the lengths men will go to to avoid taking a shower and putting on a suit
17:51Staying on Monday as the world continues to dread the unintended consequences of AI
17:56Elon Musk is facing a growing backlash over a new feature in his AI chatbot Grok
18:02So what is Grok?
18:03Grok is an AI chatbot, it's on X, formerly known as Twitter
18:07Grok can answer your questions, it claims to verify facts in real time
18:11Musk has previously referred to spicy mode, his words spicy mode
18:15We're very well aware of the fact that X or Grok or X for Grok is now offering a spicy
18:23mode
18:23This is not spicy, this is illegal, this is appalling, this is disgusting
18:28All due respect sir, but with that accent, everything's in spicy mode
18:33So, what is it about this new update that's got everyone so angry?
18:38Grok, the artificial intelligence tool on Musk's platform X is under fire
18:43after people discovered it can be used to create nude images
18:46Musk's ex, formerly known as Twitter, is using artificial intelligence to manipulate images
18:51including children, without their consent
18:54Here, a user asks the chatbot to put this young woman in a bikini
18:58To put it simply, you can upload any picture to Twitter
19:00type a comment asking Grok to put the person in a bikini
19:04and suddenly you have an image that is too horny for television
19:09Try unthinking that
19:11Here in Australia, there are calls for Grok to be banned
19:14and the PM added to the criticism
19:16The use of generative artificial intelligence to exploit or sexualise people without their consent
19:23is abhorrent
19:24Albo was, of course, forced to respond after receiving a letter signed by Sam Newman
19:30when doctored photos appeared online of Sam almost nude
19:36Sorry, I'm being told that this image is not AI generated
19:40Nor is this image, or sadly, this image
19:45Yeah, I apologise and may God have mercy on our souls
19:50Let's move through to Tuesday and the Prime
19:57Let's move through to Tuesday and the Prime Minister had a big announcement
20:02We announced that Dr Kevin Rudd, AC, will conclude his posting as Australia's ambassador to the United States
20:10Rudd said he'd love to stay on as ambassador, but he had to buy a bearded dragon at a reptile
20:15expo
20:20And it's not the only big change in the US, there's a new approach to healthy eating
20:25The federal food pyramid that informed a generation has been flipped on its head
20:31The new dietary guidelines double the recommended portion of daily protein
20:35Encourage full-fat dairy items instead of low-fat
20:40Avoid ultra-processed foods including some cookies, crackers and chips
20:44The new pyramid replaces America's old food pyramid, a Dorito
20:51Now, later this year, Australians will declare their age, income and religion in the 2026 census
20:57But there may be a more honest metric
20:59One that reveals who we really are with just as many, if not more, Jedis
21:04To tell us far too much, would you please welcome Rhys Nicholson
21:14Hello, Charles
21:15Oh, hi Rhys, how was your Christmas and New Year's?
21:18That's a personal question, Charles, let's keep things professional
21:22Every year we feed the Hungry Hungry algorithm by sharing our names, Spotify and Apple Music wrapped
21:29But there's one piece of data that doesn't get enough attention
21:33Porn
21:35Welcome to the official Pornhub year in review
21:39Right, so Pornhub keeps track of that stuff, I mean, what is Pornhub?
21:46Wow, with acting that good, you could be in porn
21:49Thank you, thank you very much
21:51It could best be described as a kind of hub, but for porn
21:55Now, I cannot be clear at just how popular it is
21:59It gets over 4 billion visits a month
22:01That's around 100 million a day, which is about 1,200 per second
22:06I could also tell you what that works out to in inches, if you like
22:10No? Okay
22:13So here we go, I watched all the porn so you don't have to
22:18And before you call the ABC's complaints landline, let me assure you there's nothing titillating in here
22:26Quite frankly, I've had haughtier correspondence with MyGov
22:30Right, so according to the data, what are people searching for?
22:34Steady on perverts
22:35Now, everyone has a fear that their search words are weird
22:40But the data shows, for the most part, it's just your classic white bread, middle-aged, middle-class, middle-of
22:47-the-road, nation's brother-in-law stuff
22:49Which is, of course, lesbian
22:51Now, a few quick highlights
22:56Statistically, Thursday is the quietest day on Pornhub, presumably because of late-night shopping
23:03Sunday at 11pm is the horniest time on earth, proving what we always knew was true
23:09The best cure for the Sunday scaries is a wank and a lie-down
23:13Turns out news is important in porn
23:16After the Coldplay scandal, searches for Office Affair increased by 210%
23:22And CEO was up by 388%
23:25And you know what? I'm into it
23:27Who doesn't want to see the head of a company be the one who gets f***ed for once?
23:32But isn't there a big concern that porn actually pushes people to the extreme?
23:37For all the panic around it, the stats show interest in the wilder stuff is actually down
23:42Searches for romantic, real and amateur grow year after year
23:47People are horny for connection
23:49We want to feel like we fit in, not see how much they can fit in
23:53Oh, oh my god
23:55She won't save you here, Charles
23:57For me, one of the biggest takeaways this year is what this stuff tells us geopolitically
24:04Socially conservative countries like Russia, Poland and some of the Middle East
24:08Consistently show high engagement with queer, trans and racially diverse content
24:12It has to be said that yes, popularity doesn't necessarily equal safety
24:16But it does suggest that this kind of trumped up moral outrage we're seeing
24:20Might be less of a belief system and more of a public facade
24:23I mean, the culture wars make it sound like we're tearing ourselves apart
24:27And publicly we are
24:29But it turns out, in the pants down privacy of our own home
24:33We don't turn into monsters, we turn into people
24:37People who are curious, who want diversity
24:40We want to understand each other so much, we're having a wank over this
24:44And that's the closest thing to hope I've felt in years, Charles
24:49So I implore you, in the name of humanity and accurate data
24:54Switch off that incognito mode
24:56Unplug those headphones
24:57Because isn't it time we all just come together
25:03Yes, yes
25:05Would you please thank Rhys Nicholson

25:27It's Michael and Miss Armitage
25:30Fans will know Miss Armitage from The Golden Bachelor
25:33Good evening ladies
25:34While Michael Whipper-Wiffley has come from the grubby world of commercial radio
25:40Talking about money
25:41But he's not worried about it
25:42You all know Whipper, don't you? Remember him from the radio?
25:45Well, he's still on radio so you don't have to remember him because he's still absolutely
25:48Well, no, you're on holidays from the radio
25:49Well, yeah, but of course
25:50They probably don't know what you look like
25:52No, hopefully they do
25:53Fingers crossed
