Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Samantha Jade stops by to chat about her new banger and ends up revealing the story she has never told before: on the 100th show of Pretty Woman, mid performance, in full costume, wig, hat and microphone, she got the cold sweats, the salivary mouth and had to run offstage to be sick while the cover stepped in. An absolute professional. She also plays the women's edition of Sing and holds her own a...

Tuesday's show packed a lot in. We broke down the jobs most vulnerable to AI and reassured the nurses and chefs that they are safe for now. Australians are spending an average of seven hours a day on their phones and our team has absolutely smashed that number. Listeners called in with their celebrity flight neighbour stories which delivered. We got into the minor inconveniences that completely ru...

The average Aussie spends seven hours a day on their phone and we have absolutely smashed that benchmark. Ricki clocks in at seven hours and 34 minutes, down from eight and a half the week before. Jermaine is at eight hours and 42 minutes and is not apologising. Tim is a very smug four hours and 43 minutes but his phone is apparently so boring it would rather be a brick. Speaking of, there is an a...

A new list of the ten jobs most exposed to AI is out and it's almost entirely tech roles: web designers, database architects, financial risk specialists and information security analysts. The executive chef and the nurse who called in can relax. Also: Tim learned Younger You on piano and wants to perform it with Ricky, which is brave given she once told him his guitar playing was "too strummy" mid...

Beyoncé and Jay-Z left their $400 million superyacht staff a $630,000 tip, which is either the most generous thing we've ever heard or just a completely different planet to the rest of us. Also in today's Glossys: Andrew Garfield has secret burner accounts for doomscrolling and calls them his creeper accounts, Mariah Carey was spotted doing her own groceries in full glam and sunnies which n...

Monday's show was a big one. Trump was caught on camera rambling about a Sharpie for an uncomfortably long time while a war was happening, and we have the footage. We spun the wheel and played the Emoji game. Office air is apparently making us all ugly and haggard by 4pm. Ricky recapped last night's Australian Idol which delivered as always. Tim went on a genuinely hectic bush walk and lived to te...

Thank you wave in traffic. Walk on the left. Click your tongs before the barbie. Let the person with two items go ahead of you at the checkout. Never use the middle urinal. Always go to bed at the same time as your partner. These are not suggestions. A Swiss woman moving to Australia needed all of this explained to her, including the fact that "bring a plate" does not mean bring an actual plate. W...

A woman on TikTok says office air is making her ugly, comparing her 9am glow to her haggard 4pm reality. We relate. Downlights also copped a serve because whoever invented them clearly hates us. But the real bombshell came from a listener whose Botox lady told her that running destroys the fat pockets in your cheeks and she can spot a runner the second they lie down. We quit running in under two s...

Office behaviour is unhinged. One woman got fired for converting her work cubicle into a DIY sauna with four space heaters and a personal thermometer labelled "trust issues." Another bloke got fired for cooking a full breakfast on an electric fry pan at his desk. Listeners call in with their own: a colleague who takes a Bluetooth speaker into the bathroom and does full karaoke, and someone who pho...

We debated the correct way to make packet noodles and Ricky's method was a lot. Listeners called in with their barista flirting stories, including one woman who kept going back every day until he finally put his number on a receipt and they've been together four years. A man in Florida sold his house in five days using only ChatGPT and made $100,000 more than his agent estimated. TSA lines in the...

A man in Florida skipped the real estate agent entirely, used ChatGPT to build his entire selling strategy, priced the house, figured out which rooms to repaint, wrote all the marketing copy and listed it himself. The house sold in five days for $100,000 above what an agent had estimated. Real estate agents are not having a great week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A woman in the States got a coffee cup that said "you're extremely hot" and never went back to Starbucks. We think she's overreacting. Listeners call in with their barista flirting stories: one woman shot her shot at a customer named Brad who turned out to be married, and one very patient woman kept going back to her local cafe every single day until the barista finally put his number on a receipt...

Lawrence Mooney stops by ahead of his Full Moon Party shows in Sydney for Comedy Fest. He breaks down the characters: a very confused Malcolm Turnbull discovering beer for the first time, a slick AFL mindset coach who only works with winners and takes all the credit, and a toothless Port Power tragic who has absolutely nothing else going on in his life. No monologues, just all the characters talki...

Thursday's show was packed. Gen Z have officially turned on influencers and are trusting customer reviews instead, which is either very smart or very boring. We spun the wheel for Tim's Top 5 and it was one of the best rounds yet. Ricky got caught lying about her Flybys card at Coles while a stranger tried to steal her points at the checkout. We find out that too many compliments early in dating i...

Grocery shopping has hit a new low. A woman at Coles tried to scan her Flybuys card on someone else's order at the checkout to steal their points. Ricky panicked, said she didn't have Flybys, immediately regretted it, then had to confess she did. The cost of living crisis has officially made us all criminals.

A 24 year old woman has gone viral for saving almost $100,000 with one extremely simple hack: just eat eggs and bread. Cut the salon, skip the nails, ditch the fancy groceries, and embrace the egg pizza. We have questions about the farts but we cannot argue with the results.

Science has confirmed that female frogs fake their own death to avoid unwanted advances during breeding season. Up to a third of them do it. We are in awe. Listeners call in with their own excuses, and one woman from Rooty Hill wins the whole segment by blaming her retainer. Iconic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wednesday's show had everything. Female frogs are faking their own death to avoid male advances and honestly we respect the hustle. Gen Z want paid Green Days off work to touch grass, which went down about as well as you'd expect. Film critic Bruce Isaacs stopped by with his picks for what to watch right now. Jay-Z addressed false rumours in today's Glossys. A listener could not for the life of he...

Gen Z's latest workplace demand is the "Green Day" — a paid day off to go outside, walk barefoot and commune with nature because the office is just too much. Ricky, who works three jobs and pulls 18 hour days on weekends, is not having it. Neither is Tim. If you've got eight hours of sleep and eight hours of work, that still leaves eight hours to go hug a tree on your own time. See omnystudi...

164 service stations across Sydney have no diesel, flights to the Gold Coast cost as much as a trip to the Maldives, and the government is floating a $40 petrol cap that won't even fill half a tank. Ricky also made the mistake of driving to the Gold Coast with three kids under 13 and lived to regret every kilometre of it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dasha swings by to play a game of Sing and chat about her new track Anna. She also opens up about her very Australian fish market experience, and we find out whether she's brave enough to take on a blood sausage. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A kid ordered 31 cheeseburgers on an app. A football coach is roasting Sydney for the right reasons. A cop is debunking road myths. And a country superstar Dasha joins us for Sing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One click purchasing has claimed another victim — Tim's kid accidentally bought over 15 toys on Amazon without breaking a sweat. Turns out it's an epidemic: a kid somewhere ordered 31 cheeseburgers from Maccas, and one brave caller admitted her child accidentally purchased an adult toy online. No further questions.

Japan's football coach couldn't find a drink after 11pm on Saturday night and had some thoughts about it. We open the phones and Sydney delivers: no coffee shops open past 3pm, no 24 hour public transport, nightmare traffic lights on Parramatta Road, and road rage everywhere. The city we love has some serious explaining to do. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
