A group of police officers are under review after pulling a prank on a driver who left his car running with the keys in the ignition while grabbing a coffee. We debated whether it was a harmless lesson or an abuse of power, and asked you where you stood. Was it a funny way to teach someone a valuable lesson, or did the officers cross the line?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the secret to a longer life involving beer to the bizarre "Jagger Jinx" haunting England's football team, today's show was full of weird and wonderful discoveries. We celebrated New Music Friday, uncovered the surprising Sydney origin of the sushi hand roll, and revealed that CeeLo Green wrote one of the Pussycat Dolls' biggest hits in Glossys. Ricki also shared the delightfully low-maintenance relationship she has with her new neighbours as we chatted about unofficial neighbourhood rules.

Then she steps into the Quick Draw arena to see if she can take down Ricki. It's safe to say her competitive streak is very real.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We reveal our dream cars and quickly realise we have very different tastes, from Lamborghinis and Porsches to G-Wagons. Then we ask Sydney one simple question: what's the hottest car on the road? The answers are surprisingly passionate, and Tim has a few strong opinions about which cars are an instant yes, and which ones are definitely not.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From a World Cup semi final update live at The Star to a bizarre plan to sell actual match grass, today's show had plenty going on.

A restaurant has gone viral for warning parents they'll be charged if their kids damage anything, and Ricki was firmly on the restaurant's side.

Plus, Tim revealed why sushi trains are a parent's best friend, and somehow dogs, pubs and kids all ended up in the same conversation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've all had a brain fade, but these callers took it to another level. From a getaway driver trying to escape with the handbrake on, to someone who didn't realise :-) was a smiley face, the confessions just kept getting better. Then one dad innocently asked a question after watching Toy Story 5 that had Ricki and Tim absolutely losing it.

Ricki was absolutely stunned to discover some of her friends has never tried ramen, sparking a passionate food intervention.

We're back live Monday July 13. A woman discovered her husband was cheating by checking the memory on their digital bathroom scale, which recorded two unassigned weigh-ins at 120 pounds at 12.25am and 12.26am while she was away. We open the phones for how people caught others out: Ricki got busted secret eating a sausage roll in the rain by Rich who had gone to buy her a sausage roll as a reward for running in the rain, Sarah's son was faking toilet training by dribbling water from a cup into the toilet to get the lollipop, a listener's housemate had been stealing her entire wardrobe, and someone dumped illegal rubbish next to a bin with their name, address and phone number still on the stickers. Criminal masterminds, every one of themSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Angus and Julia Stone come in to perform their brand new song live, making them the very first guests on Karaoke Bar Fridays, a segment that didn't have a name until they walked in and accidentally suggested it. The song was written in a stunning Paris studio about a year and a half ago and they hadn't actually rehearsed it together before coming in because Angus had been in Japan. We also find out Julia does Jagged Little Pill at karaoke for the catharsis, Angus does Wicked Games because of course he does, and an Australian tour is being planned for 2027. We are not angry about it. Okay we are a little.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live Monday July 13. 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, can cause cancer, blindness or kidney damage, and often say not for human use right next to the injection instructions. Also it turned out she used to be Tim's GP which raised more questions than it answered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A viral video of a dad walking down the aisle alone at his daughter's wedding without her opened the floodgates. Ricki's own dad sat down in the front row at her Paris wedding and forgot he was supposed to walk her down the aisle. Listeners called in and it only got worse: a dad drove to his daughter's graduation without her, a grandad came home from the park with one of two grandkids and didn't notice, a dad of 22 years still can't spell his daughter's name, and one dad arrived at his wife's funeral without the ashes. Never put a dad in charge of anything. This is the conclusion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live Monday July 13. 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.

We're back live Monday July 13. Ricki and Tim swapped Bali horror stories before discovering the island's newest trend is a 5:30am silent disco run, which sounds very different to the Bali most Aussies remember. That sparked stories from listeners, including Bron, who somehow beat a group of German tourists in a beer-sculling competition and spent the rest of her holiday being pointed at like a local celebrity. But the standout came from Jake, whose romantic villa getaway took a wild turn when a bat flew into the room, bounced off a ceiling fan and landed in his girlfriend's luggage. Twenty minutes later, a monkey turned up to finish the job, delivering what might be the most Bali story ever told.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live Monday July 13. Sydney dating is rough and this story proves it. A man took a woman out for breakfast, she politely declined a second date, and he immediately asked her to transfer her half of the $38 bill. We get into the real question: who pays on a first date and what does it mean? Jermaine's theory is that whoever covers the bill is signalling there will be a next time. Listeners call in with their dating rules and one woman in Camden is absolutely eliminating men based on sunglass choice alone. Thin gold frames after dark? You are done before you started.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live Monday July 13. Spotify celebrated its 20th anniversary and you can now deep dive your entire listening history. We go around the room: Ricki joined in March 2012 after Spotify came to her record label and basically begged artists to get on board, Tim joined in 2014 when his daughter was under one, and Sarah joined in 2020 which we did not see coming.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live July 13! 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 without knowing, and he nearly bought it for $500. He calls Anne Hathaway Annie, had to remind Stanley Tucci who he was on day one, and Colin from Accounts season three is wrapped and coming later this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live Monday July 13. Rove McManus stops by ahead of his show Tomorrow Night at the Grand Electric, a celebration of 25 years on Australian television featuring clips, stories and audience questions. He reveals he used to handwrite thank you cards to every single guest who appeared on Rove Live, and Ricki found hers in a box of memories while moving house. Beyoncé did not get one. He also tells the story of going backstage after her concert expecting VIP access and being turned away at the door, which is deeply relatable. Taskmaster is also on Channel 10 tonight featuring Rove and Joel Creasey, who Rove describes as watching a newborn duckling waddle around every single day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're heading off for a little break and will be back live on July 13, but not before one last chaotic show.

One caller accidentally turned a small shopping spree into a $500 obsession, while another reveals the viral summer buy that's now gathering dust in a cupboard. It's a relatable trip through the weird things that convince us to hit "add to cart."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim thought he was just grabbing a few ingredients for dinner, but a trip to the greengrocer led to a mind-blowing discovery about capsicums that has completely changed the way he looks at them. Meanwhile, Ricki shares a surprising behind-the-scenes fact about one of her all-time favourite movies, Sister Act, and it's got fans seeing a beloved character in a whole new light.

Plus, Oprah shares an unfortunate story involving Whitney Houston that has everyone talking in the Glossys. It's a show packed with big names, unexpected revelations and the kind of conversations that can spiral very quickly.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A former CIA agent has Ricki seriously rethinking her tech habits, while Tim accidentally discovers he's been using public Wi-Fi far more than he thought. What starts as a chat about online security quickly turns into a deep dive on burner phones, suspicious strangers, and whether our devices are listening to us. Ricki reveals the precaution she takes whenever someone seems a little too close for comfort, and the team debates just how paranoid is too paranoid. Plus, in a very technological world, Tim somehow manages to break Ricki with one simple question.

Olivia Rodrigo joined Ricki and Tim to celebrate the release of her new album and gave a rare glimpse into the whirlwind that's been her life over the past two years. From becoming pen pals with Robert Smith from The Cure to filming a music video inside the Palace of Versailles, Olivia shared some of the surreal moments that still leave her pinching herself. She also opened up about the importance of keeping good people around you, why her song titles are always a little unexpected, and the special connection she feels with parents and kids who come to her shows together. Plus, Tim managed to convince Olivia to say "Stupid Song" with an Australian accent, which might be worth the download alone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim kicked things off with a rant about Sydneysiders who somehow find a way to drop their suburb into every conversation, while Ricki questioned why he's so triggered by Bondi people existing. Julia Morris joined the show for a hilarious and surprisingly heartfelt chat about parenting, Gold Logies and life after I'm A Celebrity.

Julia Morris joined Ricki and Tim fresh off her Gold Logie nomination and somehow turned a chat about awards season into a surprisingly honest conversation about parenting, ageing and surviving life one nap at a time. While Ricki and Tim officially declared Julia their sole Gold Logie candidate for 2026, Julia revealed the unexpected advice from her daughter that completely changed the way she parents. She also opened up about the end of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, why she's not rushing to campaign for votes, and the reality of squeezing into Logies gowns for Australia's biggest TV night. As always, Julia had the whole studio laughing while accidentally dropping some genuinely great life advice along the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A university study reckons expats struggle to make real friendships with Australians, so Ricki and Tim put it to the test by opening the phones to listeners from all over the world. What followed was a flood of callers from Ireland, India, Nepal and the UK who completely shut the theory down, sharing stories of pub mates, lifelong friendships and even lending luxury cars to complete strangers. Tim wondered if Aussies can be a bit reserved, while Ricki argued we're some of the friendliest people going around. In the end, the callers delivered a pretty clear verdict: Australians are doing just fine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
