🪐 Before Eris, Pluto thought it was the star of the show.

💅 But then THIS icy diva showed up, stole the spotlight and got Pluto demoted.

Move over, Mean Girls. Space drama is way messier…

And we’re digging deep on all the drama in this week’s T Minus 20.

22/01/2025

We’re back for a new season and 2005 is already bringing the controversy, scandal and WTF moments…

👑 Harry’s costume scandal - when would it ever be a good idea to dress a N**i? Answer: um never. And you won’t believe the theme he was dressing to...

🔭 Eris Stirs the Cosmic Pot – out in the Kuiper Belt, this icy rebel gave Pluto the boot and rewrote the solar system’s guest list.

🗽 George W. Part Deux – Protests, policy and plenty of pomp at the 2005 inauguration. But is freedom really “on the march,” or just doing laps?

🎾 Serena Down Under – The Aussie Open gets a masterclass in greatness as Serena Williams storms the court.

🍎 The Mac Mini Moment – Apple goes small, but the impact? Huge. Tiny tech, big vibes.

🎮 Resident Evil 4 Redefines Horror – Zombies, puzzles, and nightmares come to life on the GameCube. Survival horror just hit different in 2005.

🎶 Soundtrack of January ‘05 – Mario’s Let Me Love You rules the airwaves, while Snoop and Destiny’s Child keep the heat coming. Meanwhile, the UK gets its first taste of Ciara’s Goodies—but do they really know which goodies they’re getting?

🚜 Revenge is a dish best served… armoured.

Meet Marvin Heemeyer, the man who turned a humble bulldozer into a fortress on treads and took his grudge to destructive heights. 💥

From secret welding projects to unstoppable demolition, this is the wild story of how one man decided to pave his own way—through 13 buildings and $7 million in damages.

🎧 Hear the full Killdozer tale on this week’s T Minus 20.

01/01/2025

This week we bring wrecking ball revenge, rivers of regret and spinning wheels of scandal.

It’s summer programming and we’re revisiting the most popular, controversial and downright unbelievable stories from 2004.

🚜 Killdozer: When one man said, “You know what? I will bulldoze this town”.

💩 Dave Matthews Band: The day their tour bus made Chicago rain… and not in a good way.

🚴‍♂️ Lance Armstrong: From cycling legend to the ultimate fall from grace.

It’s New Year’s Eve, 2004.

You grab the shirt and jeans with the least amount of visible stains from the pile on your bedroom floor. There’s only a faint whiff of stale alcohol and that pepperoni stain from last weekend’s 2am closing time pizza dash.

In a moment of inspired genius, you snag one of your dad’s work ties. Ryan Cabrera wore one once and the girls went nuts—so obvs it’s your ticket to glory.

You fire off a text to Kate on your Nokia, letting her know you’re bringing the guava Cruisers (disgusting, but the girls love them) to the party in a friend of a friend of a friend’s basement.

As you head out the front door, you slip on your Vans that you left airing on the front porch after you stepped in a dog turd. The smell is almost gone.

Life is good.

It’s New Year’s Eve 2004.

You’re pregaming with your besties while waiting for your (definitely not a) GHD straightener to heat up. 20 minutes in and it’s still just warm enough to lightly toast your hair.

You’ve coated your nails in OPI’s Don’t Socra-Tease Me and drowned yourself in Curious by Britney Spears—because smelling like sugary florals and 2004 pop royalty is a must.

You debate whether your pointy-toe heels are too much for the party in a friend of a friend’s unfinished basement. Nope. The camo pleat skirt balances it out, delivering a military-casual aesthetic that screams ‘basement chic’.

Madison saves the day with her Goldwell Style Fix Lacquer hold factor 10 (25% extra free) ensuring your Ashlee Simpson bangs and side pony stay locked in place—even under your fedora.

Your Motorola Razr vibrates with a text from Troy. He’s bringing two 4-packs of guava Cruisers to the party.

Usher’s Yeah! is starting its 300th rotation on the playlist.

Life is good.

We feel seen.

And I just left my dignity behind back there in aisle 7, right by the pickled onions…

The triads also caused much undue stress for me in the mid 90s if we’re being completely honest.

12/09/2024

Oh yes, him! I know who that is. I hearty-patted his latest Yap on FlopperDoo ❤️🫳🏻

Fatman Scoop, the voice that lit up our 2000s playlists and parties, has sadly passed away.

Isaac Freeman III, better known by his stage name Fatman Scoop, died after collapsing on stage at a show in Connecticut, aged 53.

Probably best known for featuring on Missy Elliott’s Lose Control, her words on his passing are spot on:

“Fatman Scoop VOICE & energy have contributed to MANY songs that made the people feel HAPPY & want to dance for over 2 decades. Your IMPACT is HUGE & will be NEVER be forgotten..”

Oh Christina, you are sweeter than a short stack Chocolate Jubilee with house made hot chocolate fudge at The Pancake Parlour (the one that used to be under the Civic bus interchange).

Each week we’re serving up the buttery nostalgia with a side of syrupy sass. Love for you to join us.

And if you hate it, blame Christina.

Lovely.

💛🚴‍♂️ This week on T minus 20, we offer you a yellow bracelet and a whole lot of controversy. Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong bracelets were the hottest accessory, sported by celebs from Eva Mendes to Tom Hanks, but beneath the yellow silicone lay a storm of doping allegations. We dive into the French exposé “LA Confidentiel” and Armstrong’s fiery denials as he pedalled his way to a record sixth Tour de France win.

🔫🕵️‍♂️ Jason Bourne is back and more badass than ever. Matt Damon reprises his role as the amnesiac assassin, dodging bullets and unraveling conspiracies. Relive and reminisce about the sequel that had audiences on the edge of their seats.

🍔😂 Grab your munchies and join Harold and Kumar on their epic quest for the perfect burger in “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.” Kal Penn and John Cho take us on a hilarious ride filled with absurd adventures, including a wild cameo by Neil Patrick Harris. We’ll chat about how this stoner comedy became a cult classic and why it still makes us laugh out loud.

📺💰 Trevor Butler snags the biggest cash prize in Aussie TV history, winning Aussie Big Brother. We take a look back at the 2004 season highlights, the iconic housemates and *that* Merlin eviction.

21/07/2024

🎬 We dive into the glitz and chaos of Hollywood with the premiere of Entourage. The series that gave us a backstage pass to fame, fortune and the wild ride in between!

🏆 We chat the 12th ESPY Awards - the big winners on the day plus deets on where they are now.

🎶 The 4th-generation iPod landed and users were clicking with joy. With its sleek click wheel and massive storage, it revolutionised how we listened to music on the go.

🤖 I, Robot is a hit at the box office and perhaps just a little too close to home through today’s AI lens…

“If you consider ‘difficult’ being a strong woman who sticks up for herself, yeah, I admit to it”.

Shannen Doherty has died after battling cancer for 9 years.

From her iconic role as Brenda in Beverly Hills 90210, to Prue in the cult classic Charmed, she showed us what true strength looks like both on and off the screen.

20 years ago, reality TV graced us with the glorious chaos that was *Wife Swap*. Two families swapping mums for a week, diving headfirst into each other’s very different lives and inevitably realising they might’ve bitten off more than they could chew.
