Kate, Tim & Marty

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 her say the word "rendezvous." A man in Florida apparently has three penises, and we have named him Three Peen Jean. And Miami has officially banned twerking in public, which feels like a losing battle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Luke Hemsworth stops by to chat about Deadlock, his new comedy on Prime Video where he plays a character inspired by TV personalities we love to hate, complete with short shorts and fake tan. He shares how much prep went into the role (a lot of time with a fake rubber croc), why comedy is harder than it looks, and how he stops himself from pitching better lines than the actual award winning writers. All six episodes are streaming now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have the most hectic Ricki-Leaks yet involving a Sydney influencer. We dive into the DUI arrest video that has just released of Justin Timberlake. And, Luke Hemsworth stops by to chat about his new show on Prime Video.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Twitter turned 20 this weekend, which sends us down memory lane. We share our best Twitter moments: Yoko Ono is apparently still a follower, Follow Fridays were a thing, and Jack Dorsey's first ever tweet was just "twttr." But the best story is Tim grammar-policing Solange Knowles on a public tweet, regretting it instantly, sending it anyway, and somehow living to tell the tale. She replied. He has dined out on it ever since.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bars are now handing out printed "You Have Been Cut Off" cards to let customers know they've had enough. Listeners call in with their best getting-kicked-out stories: one bloke got booted from a Melbourne bar for burping too aggressively, and another group invented tequila pool, where you take a shot every time you sink a ball. They were not good at pool. They did not last long.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three celeb stories to kick off the morning. Miley Cyrus is sober, thriving, and Hannah Montana turns 20 on Disney+ this Tuesday. Jay-Z has added an umlaut to his name as a nod to his 1996 debut album. And Prince Harry allegedly tried to score a free gym membership at a Montecito fitness club in exchange for some influencer content, only to be told every A-lister in the building pays full price. Ouch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bad news for Jetstar flyers if you use Qantas points. There are health benefits for being a short king. We have new music for you. Japanese Bars are offering free drinks. Tim reveals he doesn't drive manual. And, Ricki can't say 'rocket science'. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We try to guess callers' heights just from their job title and voice. A maintenance manager comes in at six foot, a business manager is a dead-on 5'2", and a teacher absolutely blows the whole game out of the water at 6'5". Also: turns out being short has serious health perks including lower cancer risk, less chance of a blood clot and a longer life. Kylie Minogue is exactly five feet tall and thriving.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Petrol stations across NSW are running dry and people are panic buying. Listener Brendan calls in with the fuel hacks we all need right now: NRMA members get 4 to 5 cents off per litre at Ampol, and the Fuel Watch app shows the cheapest servo near you in real time. The government has also apparently appointed an actual fuel czar, which says everything about the moment we are living in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new gym at the Sydney airport is surprisingly doing well. Callan Boys tells us where to eat. Dancing robots are ruining restaurants around the world. Spotify has introduced a breakup mode. And, Richard Wilkins joins us for Quick Draw!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 dinners, and bingeing The Real Housewives in bed. Then it gets loose as he thanks Australia for our completely cooked reality TV, calling Married At First Sight Australia the best in the world thanks to our “zero care” approach. He also gets a bit real with us, sharing the advice he wishes he knew earlier: confidence doesn’t always show up, but being brave will get you through.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 that were meant for the kids before realizing his mistake, while someone called in about a friend who wipes back to front (absolutely unforgivable) and eats tomatoes instead of apples.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 the kayakers were actually at the Canberra Light Up Festival where balloons are allowed to touch the water—and blamed the kayakers for paddling in front of him since balloons have no brakes or steering wheel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 because seven years of early mornings made him look 60, Melanie's touring Australia for the first time as a solo artist in November hitting the Enmore Theatre, and Ricki had a full fangirl meltdown admitting she learned every Spice Girls dance move from the Live in Istanbul concert.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 ballet communities" after his controversial interview, with cameras cutting straight to him and Kylie Jenner looking mortified.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 reunited at the Oscars 15 years later, Rebel Wilson hates the Rozelle Interchange so much she takes a helicopter to work, and In-N-Out Burger is overrated (Shake Shack and Fat Sal's are better).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 surname in Picton who was also pregnant—and they both gave birth on the exact same day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 it makes your living area smaller), and Tim defended his halfway house era where he had fantastic furniture with a two-person wooden-armed couch you couldn't even lay on.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 leave to go to the toilet, and Ricki would never survive as a seat filler because she can't follow any of those rules.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 exactly how things will fit and proves gentlemen wrong every time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 the softest hands—plus fans are convinced he's developing an Australian accent based on how he says "pain au chocolat" and "out."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 "wingdings" so badly that the mispronunciation actually made it to air and no one told him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 that would feed a whole family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
