Just 24 hours before flying to Manhattan for one of Australia's most talked-about celebrity weddings of 2026, Rebecca "Bec" Harding joined her best friend, celebrity stylist Elliot Garnaut, and four-time AFL premiership player Isaac Smith on No Utes in the Valet.

And Bec isn't holding back on the wedding preparations.

From the secret four-day New York celebrations and the famous wedding guest she's deliberately seated away from Elliot, to finding her dream Steven Khalil wedding dress just weeks before the big day, Bec takes us behind the scenes of her wedding to Australian comedian and television personality Andy Lee.

She also reveals the extensive beauty and wellness routine she followed in the lead-up to the wedding, the surprising lack of preparation from Andy, the incredible wedding menu and why planning an international wedding has been far more overwhelming than she expected.

But there's much more happening in Bec's world than wedding bells.

Bec opens up about renovating Ravenswood, the historic Melbourne mansion she and Andy are transforming with renowned interior designer David Flack. She also shares the story behind her successful women's shaving and body care brand, LUI, and her unexpected voice acting role alongside Andy in the children's animated series Do Not Watch This Show.

In this episode:

• Inside Bec Harding and Andy Lee's secret New York wedding celebrations

• The mystery celebrity wedding guest who had to be seated away from Elliot

• How Bec found her Steven Khalil wedding dress just six weeks before the ceremony

• The beauty, skincare and wellness rituals behind Bec's bridal preparations

• Why Andy Lee has done almost nothing for his wedding-day skincare

• The celebrity wedding menu, from vodka rigatoni to New York crab cakes

• Renovating Ravenswood, Bec and Andy's extraordinary heritage mansion

• Building LUI, Bec's Australian women's shaving and body care business

• Bec's voice acting debut in Do Not Watch This Show

• The best wedding advice Bec received from Elliot and Isaac

It's fashion, friendship, celebrity wedding secrets and plenty of laughs as Elliot and Isaac catch up with Bec before one of the biggest days of her life.

This week, Isaac Smith and Elliot Garnaut sit down with Kylie to go inside the 2026 Melbourne Cup Carnival at Flemington, from the celebrities, fashion and famous Birdcage to world-class racing, live music, food and the evolution of one of Australia’s biggest sporting events.

Kylie reveals how the VRC is balancing more than 160 years of tradition with a new generation of racegoers, including the “festivalisation” of racing, changes to members’ fashion rules and a growing focus on music, dining and entertainment.

They break down all four days of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, including Howden Victoria Derby Day, Lexus Melbourne Cup Day, Crown Oaks Day and TAB Champions Stakes Day, plus what makes each day at Flemington completely different. Kylie also takes Isaac and Elliot behind the scenes of what it’s actually like to run the VRC during Cup Week.

There’s plenty coming in 2026 too, including Robbie Williams performing on Melbourne Cup Day, new food and dining experiences across Flemington, Fashions on the Field and plenty more still to be announced. Kylie also explains why Flemington is becoming about much more than racing, combining sport with fashion, food, wine, entertainment and Melbourne culture.

And, naturally, Elliot wants to know what everyone will be wearing.

In this special Brownlow edition of No Utes in the Valet, Elliot and Isaac make their predictions for one of the biggest nights on the AFL calendar, just from very different perspectives.

Elliot takes on the red carpet, revealing the designers he’s hoping to see, the trends he predicts will dominate the night and who he thinks could take out best dressed.

Meanwhile, Isaac turns his attention to the medal count, breaking down his predicted top three in the race for the 2026 Brownlow Medal.

Plus, Lucy gives Isaac a crash course in Kylie Minogue ahead of her AFL Grand Final performance, they predict which Australian artists could join her onstage, and they hatch a plan to dress Elliot from head to toe in Kylie merchandise when he returns.

Isaac and Elliot open up about growing up with very different dads, the values, quirks and sayings they've inherited from them, and the lessons they've carried into their own lives.

And then things get unexpectedly emotional when the boys surprise each other with voice notes from their dads, sharing what they're most proud of and offering some Father's Day wisdom - including one very memorable story about Elliot coming out.

We get into:

• The dads, values and family sayings that shaped Isaac and Elliot
• How fatherhood has taught Isaac patience, tolerance and a whole new level of exhaustion
• The emotional stories and lessons from their dads — including Isaac’s pop and Elliot coming out
• The surprise voice notes from both dads, and the advice they have for their sons
• Why confidence, integrity and kindness are the values that matter most
• What the boys are actually buying their dads for Father’s Day

Whether you're a dad, have a dad or are just here for the dad jokes, questionable fashion choices and some unexpectedly deep voice notes, this Father's Day episode is a look at the men who shaped Isaac and Elliot - for better, for worse and occasionally with some very questionable sayings.

Elliot and Lucy have a combined 25 years of Logies experience between them, from dressing celebrities and working the red carpet to managing talent, publicity teams and the chaos happening behind the curtain.

From the bizarre reality of sitting through a six-hour awards show, to the secret in-room host, celebrity entrances, red carpet politics and the sheer amount of work that goes into one outfit, this is the Logies like you've never heard them before.

We get into:

• Robert Irwin hosting the Logies at just 22
• Lucy’s 15 years working behind the scenes of Australian television
• The biggest celebrity entrances, including One Direction at the height of their fame
• Who really gets the biggest reaction on the red carpet
• How 1,500 celebrities, networks, sponsors and production teams are seated
• Elliot’s decade of dressing Australia's biggest celebrities for the red carpet
• Why a Logies outfit can take six to eight weeks to create
• The time Elliot and Bec Harding flew to LA for just 24 hours to find a vintage dress
• The infamous dress that came back from the dry cleaner two sizes too small
• Karl Stefanovic’s legendary post-Logies appearance on the Today Show
• Their favourite Logies memories from the past 15 years
• Why the Gold Coast years felt like a "PG footy trip"
• Why, despite all the chaos, the Logies hold a special place in their hearts

Whether you're obsessed with the red carpet, curious about what really happens behind the scenes or simply want some good old-fashioned Australian television gossip, this episode pulls back the curtain on the Logies.

We chat about a recent George Clooney film that got us thinking about fame, relationships and the lives we build around success, before getting into the very high-production world of Ibiza residencies (and just how much it costs to get through the door).

Plus, we answer a few of your questions: what opinions have changed over the last five years? What would actually surprise you about our day-to-day lives? And which status symbols do we simply not care about anymore?

Spoiler: the reality is a lot more desk work, routine and parking small cars than you might expect.

This week, the boys are joined by their friend and behind-the-scenes confidante Lucy for an honest assessment of who is having the better year. Isaac is balancing AFL commentary, family life and a wife who wants another child, while Elliot reflects on breaking his leg, learning patience and discovering who genuinely shows up when life forces you to slow down.

The conversation quickly moves from personal growth to complete nonsense as they debate the biggest sporting moments of 2026, AFL premiership favourites, disastrous house inspections, celebrity hall passes and the most overrated stars of the year.

Elliot names Charlize Theron as his best-dressed celebrity, questions the fashion hype surrounding Zendaya and Law Roach, and gives his verdict on Timothée Chalamet. The group also reveals their celebrity hall passes, discusses the shows apparently improving people’s relationships and hears about Elliot’s new gay book club obsession.

They also review the latest AFL fashion collaborations, discuss the upcoming footy finals and reveal their dream guests for the second half of the season, including NFL personalities and one Australian pop icon.

The episode finishes with Elliot delivering a passionate, slightly desperate and completely unrequested public invitation for Kylie Minogue to join the podcast.

As one of Australia’s original social media personalities, Nadia reflects on helping build an industry before “influencer” was even a recognised job title. She explains why the word has become almost a slur, what separates meaningful creative work from forgettable sponsored content and why individuality will ultimately survive an oversaturated online landscape.

Nadia also opens up about questioning whether she still wants to belong to the industry she helped create, balancing public life with a private family and dealing with the constant arrival of younger and shinier creators.

Beyond the polished posts, Nadia explains the strategy, production and intense work ethic behind her career. From consulting on brand launches and designing collaborations to producing large-scale creative campaigns, she sees herself less as an influencer and more as a one-person publishing house.

The conversation then moves from fashion to football. Nadia shares what it was like growing up as the daughter of Australian rugby icon Russell Fairfax, her own childhood at the Australian Institute of Sport as an elite gymnast and the lessons that professional sport taught her about discipline, confidence and positive self-talk.

She also introduces the all-women NRL tipping competition that has grown from five friends into a fiercely competitive group of Sydney personalities, complete with a major prize pool and marriages apparently strengthened by midweek footy analysis.

It is a chaotic, honest and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about creativity, connection and why sport remains one of the few things capable of bringing everyone together.

In this episode

• Has “influencer” become a dirty word?
• Why individuality matters more than follower count
• The difference between creative partnerships and lazy sponsored posts
• How influencers can help keep small businesses alive
• Why Nadia sometimes questions whether she still belongs online
• The work people never see behind social media campaigns
• How real-life relationships create career opportunities
• Growing up with Australian sporting legend Russell Fairfax
• Moving away from home at nine to train at the AIS
• Using positive self-talk when confidence disappears
• Nadia’s women-only NRL tipping competition
• Why women can read sport differently
• The power of sport to remove social and cultural barriers
• The beginnings of the “Hot Girl’s Guide to AFL”

In this episode:

• A luxury fashion house has created a handbag made from T-Rex skin. The boys debate whether a bag worth €300,000–€500,000 is groundbreaking... or just plain ugly.
• The surprisingly addictive travel game one of the boys swears by (and buys in bulk as gifts), plus a trip down memory lane with childhood classics like Heads Down, Thumbs Up.
• Why Rudyard Kipling's poem If is still one of the greatest pieces of life advice ever written, and the lines that continue to resonate today.
• A quick AFL chat covering the impact of the new wildcard finals format, the teams looking strongest this season, and a discussion on Geelong, Sydney, Fremantle and the long road back for St Kilda.

As always, it's a mix of sport, culture, recommendations and whatever else comes to mind.

Isaac opens up about confronting fear as a parent, sharing the difficult experience of navigating hearing tests and health concerns for his children, and the lessons elite sport taught him about leaning on your support network when life gets tough.

Then, in a sharp change of pace, Elliot recounts his disastrous early-2000s “all-purple diet”, involving cabbage, traffic on Toorak Road and a car ride he will never forget.

Later, Marvel Stadium General Manager Scott Fitzgerald joins the boys to unpack the stadium’s huge evolution beyond footy. From Harry Styles, Robbie Williams and Dom Dolla to restaurants, premium dining and the new Marvel Stadium 365 experience, Scott reveals how the venue is becoming one of Melbourne’s biggest entertainment destinations.

Plus, Elliot gets the full briefing on Marvel Stadium’s upcoming rooftop climb, including walking 40 metres above the ground, sitting on the scoreboard and the option to abseil down the side of the stadium.

In this episode:

• Isaac and Elliot’s one-year anniversary
• Parenting, anxiety and facing hard medical tests
• Why support networks matter when life gets difficult
• Elliot’s truly terrible purple-food diet story
• Harry Styles, Robbie Williams and Marvel Stadium concerts
• Chris Martin, Luke Combs and backstage celebrity encounters

In this World Cup for Dummies edition, Elliot gives Isaac the crash course every new football fan needs: what the World Cup actually is, why the games matter so much, why a 1–0 scoreline can be more dramatic than a shootout, and how penalty shootouts turn an entire country into a nervous wreck.

With the 2026 FIFA World Cup bringing 48 teams, 104 matches and three host countries, Canada, Mexico and the United States, this is the biggest World Cup ever. So whether you are backing the Socceroos, following Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, England, France, Brazil or simply trying to understand why everyone is suddenly waking up at ridiculous hours to watch football, this episode is for you.

We get into:

• What makes the World Cup the biggest sporting event on the planet

• Why football is more than a game: culture, fashion, music, community and chaos

• The teams and superstars to watch at the 2026 World Cup

• Why goals are rare, and why that makes them even better

• How penalty shootouts work

• The ultimate Melbourne World Cup watch-party story: beers, wings and dancing on tables at 8am

• Why soccer unites people across countries, cultures and generations

• A game of World Cup or Made Up, featuring some of football’s most ridiculous real names

No Utes in the Valet is not pretending to be your tactical football podcast. This is the World Cup through the lens of pop culture, good stories, ridiculous opinions and two mates figuring it out as they go.

• Finding creative inspiration through music videos and visual storytelling
• How music, culture, and sport continue to influence Lewi's approach to branding and design

While many founders look to books or podcasts for inspiration, Lewi reveals that much of his creative process comes from music. By listening closely to lyrics and then watching the accompanying visuals, he finds new perspectives on storytelling, emotion, and culture. It's an approach that continues to shape the way he thinks about design, branding, and the stories Earl's Collection tells through its products.

Lewi reveals how a simple meeting with ASICS turned into a life-changing opportunity. What started as an invitation to collect shoes became the chance to design his own footwear collaboration. The result was a sell-out collection and a world-first football boot that bridged performance sport and fashion.

Pure chaos Perfection!

This week on No Utes In The Valet, Elliot and Isaac unpack the moment that somehow took over Australian media after Isaac walked for Christian Kimber at Australian Fashion Week.

What started as a joke between mates quickly spiralled into headlines, group chat carnage, and one of the most uncomfortable experiences of Isaac’s life.

From panic backstage with international models, to accidentally eating the entire model breakfast buffet, to trying not to laugh while standing frozen in front of 50 photographers, this episode is absolute gold.

But underneath the chaos is something surprisingly honest. A conversation about masculinity, confidence, stepping outside your comfort zone, and why doing things that scare you can completely change how you see yourself.

This episode includes:

• Isaac’s backstage panic before the runway
• The model breakfast buffet disaster
• Fashion Week group chat abuse from former teammates
• Why football culture 10 years ago would never have allowed this
• The unexpected messages Isaac received afterwards
• Montana Cox giving runway advice while eating gnocchi on a Sydney bollard
• Why confidence actually comes from discomfort
• The fighter pilot / mechanic outfit discourse
• Fashion, football, identity, and breaking stereotypes
• Why stepping outside your comfort zone changes everything

It’s fashion. It’s football. It’s emotional growth wrapped inside World War II mechanic overalls.

And somehow… it works.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Absolute chaos.

This week on No Utes in the Valet, Elliot and Isaac are back and things immediately spiral. Elliot is recording fresh off emergency surgery after a mirror literally crushed his ankle at a cocktail party, while Isaac somehow finds himself preparing to walk the runway at Australian Fashion Week for Christian Kimber.

There’s just one problem…

Isaac has absolutely no idea what he’s doing.

After a hilariously awkward first fitting experience involving confusion, panic phone calls, and stripping down “way too quickly”, the boys decide it’s time to call in reinforcements. Enter Australian supermodel Montana Cox.

What follows is one of the funniest conversations the show has had yet:

• Montana explains how runway models find their “inner beast”
• Isaac asks how to get from Australian Fashion Week… to Milan
• Elliot compares Montana to the Chris Scott of modelling
• There’s serious debate over cheekbones, pacing, and whether Isaac should embrace “balls blazing” energy
• And somehow… the conversation ends with an unforgettable food poisoning disaster story in South Africa

It’s sport, fashion, chaos, bowel-related trauma, and elite-level banter all rolled into one episode.

This is No Utes In The Valet at its absolute best.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of No Utes in the Valet, the worlds of footy and fashion collide as Elliot Garnaut and Isaac Smith debate camera angles, Coachella culture and whether one retired AFL star has what it takes to walk at Australian Fashion Week.

From there, the boys move through the week in culture and sport:

• Justin Bieber spotted at Coachella wearing star-shaped pimple patches
• Australia’s sprint stars making headlines at the national championships
• Why athletes are becoming cultural figures beyond the field

Then comes the main event: Australian Fashion Week.

Elliot explains why this year’s setting at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia with Sydney Harbour as the backdrop is a major moment for the industry, before challenging Isaac to do the unthinkable: walk in a show.

What starts as a joke turns serious fast.

After an impromptu hallway catwalk and some surprisingly confident turns, Isaac receives a real-time invitation to attend a fitting for Christian Kimber.

Yes, seriously.

The episode also features a fiery round of Red Flag, Green Flag:

• Taking shoes off on planes
• Double dipping
• Wearing UGG boots in public
• Ordering coffee with milk and sugar
• Photobombing strangers

Plus:

• Isaac’s review of Nuremberg starring Russell Crowe and Rami Malek
• Whether Taylor Swift would ever headline an NFL game
• What modern umpire microphones have changed in the AFL
• Why some people are built for the runway… and some definitely aren’t

It’s fashion, footy and cultural carnage.

And by the end of the episode, one question remains:

Is Isaac Smith about to become the hottest ticket at Fashion Week?

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of ‘No Utes in the Valet’ we move from AFL headlines to the global business of entertainment, starting with the news that Kylie Minogue is set to perform at the AFL Grand Final.

Is it a smart play to attract new audiences, or proof that sport is becoming more about spectacle than the game itself?

From there the discussion opens up into a bigger idea: leagues like the AFL and NFL are no longer just running competitions, they’re building entertainment ecosystems.

Think:

• Super Bowl halftime shows watched by over 100 million people • Stadiums turning into hospitality precincts with restaurants and DJs • Fashion becoming part of athlete culture • Brands using sport as their biggest marketing platform

The episode explores how American sports have mastered this model, and whether Australian sport is finally catching up.

Along the way the conversation takes a few classic detours including:

• Viral pimple patches and Gen Z skincare • Parenting toys that double as stress relief • A deep YouTube rabbit hole into British royal history • The strange tradition behind the Masters Champions Dinner and the dream menu you’d serve if you won Augusta

It’s part sport, part culture, part chaos.

But underneath the laughs is a serious question:

Is the future of sport actually entertainment?

In this episode of No Utes in the Valet, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions in pop culture: the red carpet.

From the Oscars to the AFL, we unpack what actually drives attention, money, and influence in today’s media landscape.

• Why celebrities are getting paid millions to walk red carpets
• The real business behind fashion partnerships and brand deals
• Why the Oscars are losing viewers (and what’s replacing them)
• Best and worst dressed from this year’s awards season
• And the ongoing debate: does sport or fashion have more cultural power?

This is where two completely different worlds collide.
