Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Patrick Brammall stops by fresh from the premiere and immediately tells us he turned down the audition for Devil Wears Prada 2 because he was busy and didn't think he had a chance. A week later they offered him the role without him lifting a finger. Pure Bradbury. He also spent the entire shoot wearing a Rolex that turned out to be fake, the props department had been putting it in a safe every day...

Film critic Bruce Isaacs stops by and delivers a verdict on the Michael Jackson biopic that cuts right through all the noise: he thinks it is one of the most wonderful films he has seen in years. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes gave it 32%. Audiences who are fans gave it 97%. Bruce says both are right depending on your relationship to the legacy. If you go in wanting the film to litigate Michael's guil...

A Body and Soul guide to meeting people in real life has us deeply uncomfortable. The tips include spending time alone at bars and cafes, maintaining steady eye contact with strangers you find attractive, and starting conversations in the bathroom line. Ricki would call the police if someone stared at her like that. Tim talks to people in lifts and urinals and thinks the bathroom line chat is actu...

Tuesday's show had everything. A Sydney beach had to close because of a whale carcass washing up, which is not ideal. Tim drove to Hoyts purely to buy popcorn and a Coke and did not see a film, and we respect the commitment. We spun the wheel and played Spelling Bee, and one listener's attempt at spelling colonel will live in our memories forever. We talked about the booing at ANZAC Day ceremonies...

Stanley Tucci is out promoting Devil Wears Prada 2 and had the audacity to tell GQ that active wear should only be worn while working out. Sydney, a city that has adopted the active wear and track pant as its official uniform, is not having it. Ricki points out that if it doesn't have an elastic waistband she is simply not interested. We open the phones for controversial opinions and they deliver:...

During ANZAC Day Welcome to Country ceremonies across Sydney, Canberra, Perth and Melbourne, a small group of people booed Indigenous Elders as they spoke. At Martin Place it was especially confronting: Uncle Ray, the Elder who delivered the Welcome to Country, is himself a veteran whose grandfather served in the Light Horse Brigade and whose brothers served in Vietnam. A man who served this count...

We spun the wheel and played Word Alarm. The great soap bar debate: are they back or are they done forever? New Music Friday delivered as always. The President of the Australian Medical Association came in to explain peptides and why the ones being sold online with "not for human use" on the label are a problem, including that Tim's old GP turned out to be our expert which raised eyebrows. Insuran...

Three people in California got caught staging fake bear attacks on their own luxury cars to claim $142,000 in insurance money. They kept the bear suits. In the house. Detectives found them immediately. We open the phones for Sydney's own scammers and it escalated quickly: one listener negotiated a better insurance deal and kept the $350 signup bonus anyway, another has been working as an unqualifi...

Peptides are everywhere right now: weight loss, skin care, muscle recovery, tanning. We got the President of the Australian Medical Association Dr Danielle McMullen on the phone to explain what they actually are and why the ones being sold online are a problem. Short version: the approved ones prescribed by doctors are fine, but the unregulated ones sold online may have never been tested on humans...

Tim has heard through very reliable channels that Sabrina Carpenter has four nights booked at Qudos Bank Arena in November. No official announcement yet but the dates are apparently sitting there waiting. For anyone who had their Sabrina set cut short when she was supporting Taylor Swift in bad weather, this is your redemption arc. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We spun the wheel and played the Whisper Challenge. NSW Premier Chris Minns dialled in and Ricki got into the contraceptive pill news. Matt Moran stopped by to tell us what to eat this week. Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted ordering Messina like a normal person and we respect it. Tim dropped the exclusive that Sabrina Carpenter has four nights booked at Qudos Bank Arena in November. A listener called i...

Two years after a double mastectomy, listener Megzi called Ricki at a Ronald McDonald House charity gala, had a couple of champagnes, and decided she wanted Ricki's boobs for her reconstruction surgery. She took that conversation to her actual surgeon, who laughed, and tomorrow she is going in for a seven hour surgery. Ricki is honoured, Megzi is ready to close the final chapter of what she calls...

Science revealed the most dangerous songs to drive to and Eminem's Lose Yourself took the top spot, which tracks. We spun the wheel and played Can I Have The First Line. Bruce Isaacs stopped by with his Watcha Watching recommendations. A bride banning guests from wearing blue including a sapphire ring sent Ricki down memory lane about her own Paris chateau wedding where every guest was told to wea...

A bride demanding guests don't wear blue to her wedding, including banning a sapphire ring, gets Ricki reflecting on her own very specific wedding dress code. She and Rich got married at a chateau in Paris with 25 guests, told nobody anything until the last minute, and enforced a strict colour palette: girls in white, cream, beige or bone, guys in tan and beige or a black suit. Ricki's dad wasn't...

A study has revealed the top five most dangerous songs to drive to based on tempo, beats per minute, danceability and loudness. Shawn Mendes comes in at number five, Imagine Dragons at number two, and Eminem's Lose Yourself takes the top spot. Also: a school bus driver called in to tell us he has never been thanked so much in his life because every kid has to say thank you when they get off, which...

A brawl broke out at a Bankstown salon apparently sparked by an influencer who is very passionate about her postcode. Nine billion voice notes are sent daily and Tim refuses to be part of the problem. Ricki set the record straight on the tabloid divorce story: she and Rich were walking to lunch for champagne and caviar, she was explaining her back pain with hand gestures, and a paparazzo 50 metres...

Woman's Day and New Idea ran a story claiming Ricki and her husband Rich are getting divorced based on photos of them standing at traffic lights. What was actually happening: Ricki was explaining her back pain very animatedly while Rich held a convenience store umbrella over his head, and they were on their way to celebrate with champagne and caviar. Ricki's mum, sister and mother-in-law all reach...

Nine billion voice notes are sent worldwide every day and two in three people are now using them. Tim is not one of them. Unless he wants to do an impression, in which case Ricki has several on her phone that must never see the light of day or she will be immediately unemployed. A listener perfectly summed up the rule: if we started this conversation over text, do not switch to a voice note halfwa...

We defended DJ Got Us Falling In Love's honour after a band called it absolute garbage on Triple J. We spun the wheel and played Tim's Top 5. A reporter at the Sydney Fish Market got bitten by a crab on live TV and immediately had it cooked, which is the most justified act of revenge we have ever seen. Glenn Robbins came in ahead of tonight's Celebrity Intervention premiere on Channel 7 and reveal...

Glenn Robbins stops by ahead of the premiere of Glenn and Mick Celebrity Intervention on Channel 7 tonight at 7.30. Turns out he and Tim go way back: Glenn taught Tim how to surf, took him to Bells Beach where Tim got absolutely pummelled by waves and spent the rest of the day watching from the sand, and the two of them once had a very big lunch with Melbourne radio legend Ross Stevenson that Tim...

A Melbourne band called Radio Free Alice went on Triple J's Like A Version, called Usher's DJ Got Us Falling In Love an ugly duckling and a piece of absolute garbage, covered it, then deleted the video when the internet turned on them. They have since apologised. Ricki nearly threw her phone off the balcony. The song has sold hundreds of millions of records and does not need their help. Case close...

Fresh from the Superbowl, Sydney boy now Seahawks player & MVP Michael Dickson joins us live in the studio to chat about his Mingle Chicken Salt collaboration, what they get up to during the halftime show and his diet. He also joins Ricki on a quickie. Not what you think. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Millennials are "quiet vacationing" by using work-from-home flexibility to secretly take time off and work from anywhere—whether overseas or the beach—while scheduling emails to keep up the illusion they're still working normal hours. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A woman got the ultimate petty revenge after someone cut an entire drive-thru line and pulled in behind her—she paid for their meal, took the food, and left the line cutter with nothing. We also love boxing people in on the roads (safely) while pretending to sing along to the radio as they get infuriated. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We catch up with Robbie Williams, who tells us he literally delayed his album to avoid going head-to-head with Taylor Swift… honestly, fair call. We relive his AFL Grand Final performance, where he says Aussies fully bought into his “imperial gladiator” vibe, which is exactly why he loves performing here. Off stage, he’s surprisingly chill, talking school pick-ups, family...
