Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Richard Wilkins stops by to play Quick Draw — but not before trying to sweet-talk Tim into leaking the questions early. We're not having it. Also: shoes are foot prisons, hot feet are a Kiwi thing, and Dickie spent 20 years on the Oscars red carpet standing next to Joan Rivers and elbowing the world's media out of the way. Legend.

Spotify has a new feature for premium users that automatically removes songs from our playlists that remind us of an ex. We're not sure whether to be impressed or unsettled that an algorithm now knows our heartbreak better than we do. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A humanoid robot at a California hot pot restaurant had a full meltdown — banging on tables, sending chopsticks flying, and then dancing as staff dragged it away. Terminator vibes, apron and all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim absolutely fails at a game of Spelling Bee. Someone's in-laws did the worst thing regarding roast potatoes. A hot air balloon took out some kayakers. And Robbie Williams calls us the most 'authentic race'. 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...

The Potato Queen went viral after discovering her in-laws were serving six tiny roast potatoes for four fully grown adults at Sunday dinner and declared she's divorcing her husband over it—because everyone knows you make excess potatoes and need at least one per person, not 1.5 tiny pieces each. We asked Sydney about unforgivable acts and Tim admitted he once devoured two sausages at a BBQ t...

Two kayakers in Canberra got knocked into the water by a hot air balloon flying too low over Lake Burley Griffin, sparking a debate about whether hot air balloons are worth it. Tim's never been and thinks they're a hard no (you get lifted up real quick then sit there for three hours with five people touching shoulders doing nothing), while a hot air balloon pilot named Wayne called in to explain t...

Spice Girl Melanie C and Ronan Keating joined us on St. Patrick's Day and immediately got into a debate about whether they're called "slides" or "sliders" (UK says sliders, we called them idiots, Americans call them flip-flops, and Aussies call them thongs which confused everyone). Ronan revealed his breakfast radio survival trick was plunging his face in a bowl of ice water every morning at 5am b...

Melanie C and Ronan Keating rock up. We find out Sydney's favourite bedroom songs. We cover everything Oscars from yesterday. Taylor Swift is partying with Beyonce. A man turned himself blue. And, what's your excuse? Sean Penn didn't rock up to the Oscars. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The K-pop Demon Hunters won Best Original Song at the Oscars for "Gold" and when the play-off music started cutting off their speech, the singer got so angry he started jumping up and down like an angry toddler yelling "say something!" while his bandmate just stood there. Conan O'Brien also roasted Timothée Chalamet multiple times including bringing up security concerns from "the opera and...

A paparazzi photo of Taylor Swift getting out of a car at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Chateau Marmont party went viral showing nothing but her feet, a black dress, and an umbrella—and Ricki immediately identified it was Taylor because "they always put umbrellas up around her when she gets off her private jet, and only Beyoncé does that too." We also discovered the Bridesmaids cast reun...

We asked Sydney for their "I swear it's true" stories after discovering there's been eight Bigfoot sightings in Ohio over four days (despite everyone having cameras in their pockets with zero actual photos). Natalie from Picton called in with an insane story: she kept getting confused with another woman at ultrasounds and hospital bookings, and it turned out there was another Natalie with the same...

Men are sharing their living spaces as bachelors and it's ridiculous. It's Oscar season and Tim knows the rules if you ever wanted to be a seat filler. Ricki dives into the recent sightings of Big Foot. And, someone has Meghan Markle's Sydney visit goss in Ricki-Leaks. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Reddit thread revealed the most depressing bachelor pads ever—guys showing off lounge rooms with fold-out camping chairs facing walls, a spin bike and a picture of a horse, and one bloke who doesn't even have a TV just sitting on his couch staring at nothing. We discovered you're apparently not supposed to put your couch against the wall (it has to be slightly forward to look nice, even if...

A veteran Oscars seat filler revealed the strict rules including paying your own way to LA, no phones allowed, you can only talk to celebrities if they speak to you first (so no chatting up Brad Pitt), no eating or drinking anything during the entire ceremony, and you have to get up immediately when someone important wants their seat back. Tim's convinced they must wear nappies because they can't...

If you missed any Ricki-Lee & Tim, don’t stress! Ou r Best of the Week podcast has you covered. We’ve wrapped up all our favourite moments so you can catch up on the highlights and stay in the loop! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We asked Sydney what they're weirdly good at—those insignificant skills you'd never put on LinkedIn but you're secretly exceptional at. Ricki's an airport mogging legend who zooms through security with nothing in her pockets and knows the restaurant menu before arriving (which Tim hates because half the fun is discussing it over a beer), while Tim's a boot-packing Tetris master who can see e...

People are PANIC BUYING AGAIN in Sydney. Protein is getting too much in the world. Ricki brags about things she's good at for like five hours, and we crown our Caller Of The Week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nicole Kidman revealed her biggest deal breaker is bad breath after Alexander Skarsgård ate a falafel sandwich before their Big Little Lies kissing scene and she told him to put it away immediately. Harry Styles was spotted on the Brooklyn Bridge with Zoe Kravitz and stopped to fist bump fans who were literally listening to his album, asking what their favorite song was, and apparently has t...

Netflix released bloopers from Morgan Freeman voicing the new Dinosaurs documentary and he's adorably struggling with words like "Uranus" (because it sounds rude), "Aaron Borger genius," and having to restart his intro saying "I'm Morgan Freeman" multiple times. We also revisited Benedict Cumberbatch's legendary inability to say "penguins" during his BBC documentary, calling them "penguans" and "w...

McDonald's stopped automatically giving out straws with drinks and switched to sippy lids instead, which has people confused and furious. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We figure out what the new Gen Z term 'mogging' means'. Sydney has some hilarious Instagram handles. Ricki is furious over Maccas removing straws. And, Amy Shark is on the show to talk about her upcoming album Soft Pop. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Callan Boys from the Sydney Morning Herald joined us with restaurant picks including Bessa in Bondi (dark, sexy Spanish spot with squid ink noodles and martinis), Luca Bakery in Castle Hill by a former MasterChef winner doing giant Monte Carlo riffs with salted vanilla buttercream, and Pantry Store in Stanmore with a $19 hot cross sofa croissant stuffed with chocolate brownie and hazelnut ganache...

We played a secret sound that had everyone convinced it was from "the hub" or Married At First Sight's intimacy week, but it was actually just the Los Angeles Marathon commentary of a woman losing her absolute mind screaming "WHOA! OH MY GOD!" over and over during a close finish—and we couldn't stop laughing because it sounded exactly like a When Harry Met Sally situation on free-to-air TV....

A Sydney home got its second cop car crashing. Northern Beaches are slowly becoming the third member of the show because of his neighbourhood drama. Travis Kelley is destroying retirement rumours in the Glossy’s. And Ricki has another update on her commentary on women’s bodies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
