Ricki‑Lee & Tim

After hearing Russell Crowe aggressively managing fans in Paris, Ricki and Tim started chatting about celebrity autographs and the famous people they’ve met over the years. Tim revealed a childhood cricket hero once swore at him while he was innocently collecting signatures at the SCG, which honestly still sounds traumatic. Meanwhile Ricki admitted she used to lurk outside Broncos games like a tiny celebrity stalker and even has fans with her signature tattooed on their bodies. Plus there were stories involving John Farnham signing cassettes at nightclubs, Mark Wahlberg autograph ambushes and Tim getting paid cash in yellow envelopes for fake DJing at Crown.

Ricki and Tim went on a mission to find their oldest listener after discovering Aussies are apparently living forever, and things escalated VERY quickly. What started with a confident 56-year-old turned into a full-on age battle featuring country music lovers, social housing queens and Cheryl proudly yelling “69!” like she’d just won the Olympics. Tim also got way too philosophical about being halfway through life already, which really killed the vibe for a second there. But just when everyone thought Cheryl had it locked up… 71-year-old Debra swooped in right at the death. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki and Tim unpacked Britney Spears trying to charm police with promises of lasagna and pool time, which somehow spiralled into everyone revealing the meals they’d use to get out of trouble. Then things got absolutely cooked with the Enhanced Games, where super-jacked athletes were expected to smash world records but mostly just made everyone argue online. Tim also suffered a devastating personal attack after confidently singing a Justin Bieber lyric wrong for years, only for Jermaine to completely kill the mood by correcting him. Plus, a paraglider survived getting HIT BY A PLANE, leading to a chat about the random things people swear by. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki and Tim got fully sucked into the Enhanced Games, aka the Olympics but everyone’s absolutely JUICED. Tim was obsessed with giant deadlifters throwing around half a tonne like it was a Woolies bag, while Ricki tried to process the fact that one of the biggest names in the comp came dead last… in a four-person race. They also discovered most of the “world record failures” were losing by literal fractions of a second, which somehow made the whole thing even more dramatic. By the end, Tim was ready to launch a Normal People Olympics where he and Ricki avoid swimming purely because washing hair afterwards is too annoying.

Britney Spears offering police “lasagna or whatever you want” to get out of trouble somehow turned into Ricki and Tim revealing the exact meals they’d use to charm their way out of a fine. Tim whipped out his crispy chicken thigh recipe like he was secretly auditioning for MasterChef, while Ricki stood firm on lamb cutlets being her ultimate weapon. Then callers came through with curry pies, sugary spag bols and enough food chat to make everyone instantly starving. Also, Tim casually revealed cops get half-price Maccas and now we’re all considering a career change. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Harry Styles reveals where he lost his V card, we ask what your first time was like. Henry Badgery an AI expert joins us to chat prompts. The new generation don't know much about CDs anymore. And people are just queuing up for anything. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Henry Badgery from Prompt Cowboy, Australia's largest AI platform, comes in with cowboy hats for everyone and answers the question we have all been quietly wondering: is AI actually making us dumber? His honest answer is yes, if you let it think for you. But used correctly it is genuinely empowering, and Ricki proves it by using ChatGPT to successfully fight a $300 parking fine she never would have contested on her own. Listeners ask if AI will eventually turn on us and Henry says don't worry about the Hollywood version, the bigger problem is what happens to human purpose when AI does all the work. His personal AI of choice for serious tasks is Claude by Anthropic, which he says is far more intelligent than the others. We are not biased. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A psychologist has put together a guide to arguing better in relationships and the key rules are: keep it logical, never bring up the past, listen without making assumptions, and pick your battles because most things just are not worth it. Ricki and Rich apparently communicate rather than argue which is very healthy. However Ricki did spend last Saturday morning crying with a champagne in her hand, furious about absolutely nothing, massaging the frown off her face while Rich sat quietly in the corner. Sometimes the toddler emotions just arrive uninvited and there is nothing to be done about it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Friday!! We uncover the very unexpected place Channel Nine originally got their iconic intro music from, and a cooking hack used by grandmas everywhere suddenly has us questioning how old we’ve become. Plus, Sydney’s still buzzing after that wild meteor sighting last night! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our next guest to sing in Karaoke Bar Fridays is the one and only Sam Fischer, singing 'A Heart Doesn't Hurt Itself'. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A meteor lit up Sydney's skies at 6:30 last night and Duncan at the Norwood driving range had absolutely no idea because he was locked in on his swing. He films himself hitting to analyse his technique and only discovered the meteor when he reviewed the footage afterwards. He briefly looked up mid-session, thought it might be lightning, and went straight back to work. The meteor is in the background of his swing video and it looks incredible. Duncan is choosing to see it as a sign from the universe that his golf game is about to improve. We respect the optimism. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bondi’s still recovering after a huge overnight house party, and somehow the fallout from tensions in Iran has now reached Australian supermarkets with a possible Diet Coke shortage on the horizon. We realised Tim is basically the human embodiment of Inner West Sydney, except for one detail that completely throws the stereotype out the window. There’s also a fascinating private investigator story that had us asking way too many questions, plus Tim Ross aka Rosso drops by for a very competitive game of Quick Draw.

Private investigator Cassie Crofts from Venus Investigations goes viral for spotting the same pattern every time: men heading to a car wash right before meeting their affair partner. Not to cover their tracks, but to impress. We are both appalled and unsurprised. Cassie also reveals that cheaters are getting caught via Amazon Alexa voice history, a secret password protected shared note in the iPhone Notes app that nobody thinks to check, and suddenly developing new hobbies and taste in music that have clearly been influenced by someone else. If your Apple Pay guy is suddenly paying cash for everything, that is also a red flag. Three quarters of people who call a PI turn out to be right. Trust your gut.

Young drivers have been bedazzling their L and P plates and Transport NSW has issued a major warning to stop immediately. We think they look kind of cute but rules are rules. This opens up a trip down memory lane: Ricki had a crazy bitch sticker and fluffy dice on her VT Commodore station wagon which also had a PA system in the boot for gigs, the Oakley sticker above the rear view mirror was peak early 2000s energy, and a listener in Camden puts reindeer ears on her car every Christmas and wraps tinsel around the mirrors. Car personalisation is a human right and we stand by that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A viral Reddit thread about working for billionaires delivered: a cactus terrarium penthouse, Karl Lagerfeld's two identical apartments and a Sydney fur coat room above a Fendi store. Bruce Isaacs stopped by with his weekly Watcha Watching picks. Ricki and Tim got into their love languages and discovered they are more similar than expected. A 14-year-old St John's Ambulance volunteer named Charlie Morrison came in after saving a man's life at the NBL Grand Final with CPR and a defibrillator, and listeners called in with their own hero moments. And The Veronicas stopped by with a Big Muff guitar pedal, an Alexander McQueen guitar, a matching club jacket and a possibly cursed 19th century witch's mirror, all going up on eBay at 7pm tonight. They are also heading back to the US to write album seven and Jess's favourite song they have ever written has not been released yet. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Veronicas come in with an armful of iconic items they are auctioning on eBay, including a 1974 Big Muff guitar pedal, an Alexander McQueen guitar from 2006, a matching club jacket and a 19th century scryer's witch's mirror that Lisa has packed away and never looked at again after doing her makeup in it once. The mirror may or may not show someone standing behind you. Do not look around if it does. They are also heading back to the US to write their seventh studio album, and Jess reveals her favourite song they have ever written has not been released yet. Twenty one years in and they are still going. Every day is a celebration apparently. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Sydney Kings fan suffered a cardiac arrest during the NBL Grand Final and was saved by St John's Ambulance volunteers, including 14-year-old Charlie Morrison who arrived on scene, started CPR and got a defibrillator on the patient within seconds. Charlie sounds more calm and composed describing the incident than most adults do ordering a coffee. It is his fourth year with St John's and his second cardiac arrest save. Listeners call in with their own hero moments: a woman checked on her elderly neighbour after not hearing from him for two days and found him unconscious on the floor with broken hips, a student choked on chips watching reality TV alone in her dorm, and a man and his now wife jumped into the Figure Eight Pools to save four or five tourists who got washed in. Heroes everywhere. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tuesday's show was a big one. Kylie Minogue called in ahead of her Netflix documentary dropping today and opened up about the singing budgie years, why she finally said yes to the documentary after years of being asked, and what she is most proud of. We celebrated the greatest saxophone solos in music history after a man survived seven days lost in Taiwan because rescuers heard him playing his sax. Men are now voluntarily getting surgery to give themselves cauliflower ear to look tougher, like UFC fighters, which is a choice. A real flight attendant called in to tell us what actually happens behind the curtain when passengers get drunk or disorderly and it was very illuminating. Ricki came in with a stunning girthy stick she found on Macquarie Street as a gift, because Tim and Sarah's boys are obsessed with sticks and she is a thoughtful friend. And Kita Alexander joined us for a game of Sing which was a very good time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kylie Minogue calls in ahead of her Netflix documentary dropping tomorrow and it is everything. She talks about why it took years to say yes, how she finally felt okay enough in herself to let people behind the curtain, and what it was like reliving decades of archive footage. She is proud of her resilience above everything else, proud of taking risks even when they didn't work, and deeply done with the singing budgie era. The press back then was brutal and she had no platform to push back. Now she does. Her defining song: Love at First Sight because it has her DNA in it. We played it immediately. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A man had an argument with his wife, ran into the mountains of Taiwan with thongs, a Bible and a saxophone, and was found alive after seven days because rescuers heard him playing. We celebrate this by going sax for sax with the greatest saxophone moments in music history. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
