Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Ricki's racing through Oscar-nominated films and declared Ever Had Legs is trash despite loving Rose Byrne. The Melania Trump documentary is the talk of the town—it cost $75 million to make (with $35 million going straight to Melania as an appearance fee), only grossed $7 million, and got absolutely destroyed by critics. The best review started with a formatting correction: they accidentally...

Ricki & Tim broadcast from their new studio for the first time and Tim was absolutely not having it—he hated everything about the change while Ricki tried to keep it together. The handball vs downball vs upball debate continued after a Melbournian TikToker reignited Australia's most divisive schoolyard argument, with listeners calling in from every state with different names for the same...

We stumbled into the most divisive schoolyard debate of all time—what do you actually call that game where you hit a ball between squares? Tim and Ricki always knew it as handball, Joel called it Foursquare in Perth, but then a TikToker claimed it's actually called downball and the floodgates opened. Listeners rang in from all over Australia with completely different names depending on where...

The Grammys were pure chaos—Cher forgot to present an award, walked off stage, came back and accidentally announced Luther Vandross as the winner (he died in 2005). Bieber performed in his boxers, Lola Young dropped an F-bomb, and Olivia Dean won Best New Artist. Brooklyn Beckham's getting roasted for making "spaghetti bolognese" with orechiette pasta instead of actual spaghetti—guess...

It's our first Mailbag Monday since announcing the big changes, and listeners are in their feelings. We're breaking up the drive show gang—Ricki and Tim are moving to Sydney breakfast on February 9, Joel's going solo in the afternoons, and Fitzy, Wippa and Kate are taking over drive. People sent in the sweetest messages about how the show's been their comfort podcast through high school, pre...

The Grammys were absolutely chaotic and we're breaking down all the best moments. Cher was supposed to present Record of the Year but instead ad-libbed about her career, then just walked off stage without giving out the award—Trevor Noah had to call her back, and when she finally read the winner she accidentally said Luther Vandross (who died in 2005) instead of Kendrick Lamar. F-bombs were...

The band is breaking up. We announced that Ricki & Tim are doing Sydney breakfast, and Joel is going solo nationally! Hear our announcements and reactions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ICYMI, Ricki-Lee & Tim are heading to Sydney Breakfast on Feb 9, and Joel's going solo in April. Here are the guys driving you home from Feb 9... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things are changing for 2026. We're getting our own shows. Hear the announcement here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nicola Peltz allegedly gets a $1 million monthly allowance from her billionaire dad, which by our estibation is about $12 million a year—so we asked what you'd do with that kind of cash. David Beckham's Paris Fashion Week dinner order got broken down euro by euro, and a 79-year-old husband learned how to do his blind wife's hair and makeup at beauty school after 50 years of marriage (grab th...

A data firm analysed 25 years of Billboard Hot 100 lyrics and confirmed what we've all been feeling—pop music is getting way sadder and angstier. They tracked moods like heartbreak, joy, angst and love across thousands of songs, and tracks invoking angst and heartbreak are dominating the charts now (hello Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, and Die With A Smile). Love songs are still hanging in there,...

Rumours have been swirling that Nicola Peltz receives a monthly allowance from her billionaire dad Nelson Peltz, even though she's 31 years old. An English journalist just confirmed the tea on a podcast, claiming Nelson allegedly told someone he gives his daughter a cool million dollars... every single month. That's $12 million a year if you're doing the math at home, which is more than most peopl...

Joel revealed his absolutely chaotic laptop desktop and we needed to know—what's your messy shame that would trigger everyone? A woman on Instagram went viral listing all the types of people who piss her off (looking at you, "hubby" and "nummy" users), so we shared ours including people who say "expresso" and those who constantly say "we have to catch up" but never do. Deni Hines walked out...

Deni Hines walked out of the I'm A Celebrity jungle after less than a week, and her reason for leaving has everyone talking (hint: it involves the long drop). We revisited the iconic moment when Joel and Chrissy Swan tried to quit the show years ago, which produced one of the greatest reality TV quotes of all time. But then Chrissy went on her show and said something that has Joel absolutely fumin...

Joel and Ricki were both in Perth at the same time and somehow never hung out—the passive aggressive energy was real. We discovered Gen Z is too broke to go out so they're hosting admin nights and PowerPoint presentations instead (truly unhinged behaviour). Tim took us through the final meals of the world's most notorious criminals because nothing says drive time radio like death row dinners...

Tim found a study that completely flips what we thought we knew about male desire, and it involves 67,000 people (though 69,000 would've been way more appropriate for this topic). Turns out men don't peak when you'd expect—there's a very specific age range that changes everything, and Joel's got about five years until he becomes an absolute menace. Jack, consider yourself warned. Also, Tim's...

Gen Z is apparently too broke to go out, so they're hosting... admin nights? Yep, bring your laptop over and update subscriptions together like it's a study group for adulting. We debated whether PowerPoint nights (where everyone presents their current obsession) are genius or annoying, why gays love a YouTube spiral, and how Joel still doesn't know what half his friends actually do for work despi...

Joel somehow turned a parking fine into a coffee date with the inspector who busted him—because making friends while losing money is very on brand. We added to our collection of mispronunciations after some kids butchered 'Worcestershire' and a creator admitted they've been saying 'ramen' wrong their whole life. Jermaine sat down with Louis Tomlinson to chat about his new album and discovere...

Jermaine scored 10 minutes with Louis Tomlinson to chat about his new album How Did I Get Here? and things got unexpectedly personal. Turns out they both have something major in common from high school (hint: it involves leather jackets and slicked-back hair). Louis opened up about his ride-or-die fans, why they're the reason he's here, and the one festival moment that changed everything for him a...

Joel got busted by a parking inspector outside his gym, but things took an unexpected turn when the officer recognised him from the show. What happened next involves a removed parking fine, a 10-minute chat, and Joel buying coffee for someone who'd just cost him money. Classic Joel energy: somehow making friends while getting fined.

Ty and Kanye want to open a Thai restaurant called "Ty Land" so naturally we came up with our own genius (or terrible?) restaurant concepts. Wicked fans reckon Ariana and Cynthia are in a full-blown feud because Ari skipped the birthday post this year—the shade of it all! Turns out people who swear apparently live longer, which means Ricki's basically immortal at this point. Plus Ricki and J...

If you’ve ever been told swearing makes you lazy or dumb, this might be your redemption arc. A resilience expert has dropped a claim that’s got everyone nodding along aggressively and maybe swearing in agreement. There’s science involved, stress relief, and a very convincing argument that letting it rip might actually be good for you. We get into the why, the research behind it,...

Wicked fans reckon there’s trouble brewing behind the scenes, and one tiny detail has sent the internet spiralling. Ariana Grande noticeably stayed silent on Cynthia Erivo’s birthday, and now everyone’s reading way too deeply into it. Is it nothing, or is it the pettiest celeb snub of all time? We unpack the clues and let you decide after you hear what really got fans talking. Se...

Ricki updates us with developments on the Brooklyn/Brand Beckham saga with a few inconsistencies. This songwriter wrote a Rihanna song in the most genius way possible. A fan tells us what the new Harry Styles song sounds like. We play a game of POVO. And, do you have a sexy name? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Harry Styles' new single Aperture releases this Friday, but fans in Sydney got to listen to it early. Here's what it sounds like. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
