Blackers spills the tea on his ARIAs hosting chaos before the gang dives into a spicy round of Glossys that somehow links Ronaldo, the Beckhams and Ariana in one breath. We get into the madness of a Klimt portrait going for a casual $34.5 million, the surprising global rise of Guinness and Tarantino dropping his top five actors like it’s gospel. Then Chrissie Swan swings in for a feisty Quick Draw that absolutely lights up the room.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had Mitch Churi jumping in while Blackers swanned around the Arias and it honestly felt like leaving your house keys with the fun neighbour who definitely lets the dog on the couch. Childhood meals came roaring back with tuna mornay trauma, electric wok chicken crimes and enough apricot chicken energy to trigger a whole generation. A UK school banned a K-Pop song for being a bit too Demon Hunter which is exactly the kind of drama the tuckshop needed in the 2000s. The Glossy’s delivered everything from Taylor and Travis inspiring the word parasocial to Ariana getting all handsy in the sweetest way plus Keith Urban copping heat and Trump calling someone Piggy. We wrapped it all with a round of Name Em that went off like burnt dinner rolls forgotten in the oven.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today’s show was wild. We met a bloke who got fined for pretending to be a ghost in a cemetery, then got stuck into Trump’s so-called “athlete” body stats that make Hemsworth look lazy. Ricki, Blackers and Joel sized each other up for Below Deck casting (spoiler: no one’s surviving), and The Glossys were full of chaos from Kim K roasting psychics to Ariana’s “inconclusive” kissing. Plus, the team tested their ears with misheard lyrics and found out Aussies love a live gig more than just about anything else.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The phones went off today when a cop called in to set the record straight. Turns out, back in the day, you could sip a beer while driving in Melbourne as long as you were under the limit. Chaos. From there, it was all downhill... ghost stories in cemeteries, fines for peeing in public, and one listener who flipped off a speed camera and copped a $700 bill for the trouble. Plus, Rikki’s PVC plans for Gaga, Joel’s hook turn confession, and Blackers learning the hard way what a “nanny state” really is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The crew imagine life at sea as Below Deck opens casting calls — and things get messy fast. Ricky’s bossing the deck as bosun, Joel’s folding laundry in tears, and Blackers is just happy to play with the water toys. Plus, the gang roast each other’s work ethic, rank each other’s stew skills, and debate who’d actually last a day under Captain Sandy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Taylor Swift’s bridesmaids list has apparently leaked and the team cannot cope. Blackers swears he's got insider WhatsApp access. Between the alleged guest list (hi Gigi and Selena) and talk of a Euro summer wedding, the speculation is wild. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we paused the birthday chaos to honour a true radio legend, John Laws. Blackers shared stories from his wild turkey hangover days with Lawsy and that iconic moment they spent together before his final 2SM show. Ricki and Joel looked back at his razor-sharp wit, famous feuds, and that golden voice that defined Aussie radio for seven decades. The man taught us all one thing—just listen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki’s 40th birthday bash was massive, with celeb messages flooding in—including a few surprises that got everyone giggling. Blackers led a touching tribute to the late, great John Laws, sharing stories, audio gold and a bit of Lawsy wisdom. Then it was into the Mailbag, where Joel’s Neighbours career got a deep dive—stalker plots, wedding fails and all. What a show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shaboozey popped in for a chaotic game of Quick Draw with Ricky and Blackers — and he came in hot, talking mics, Woodford and Coke, and why the Wild West would’ve been his era. Things got rowdy fast as he tried to take Ricky down, but she wasn’t backing off (and definitely wasn’t staying seated). Between Jelly Roll shoutouts and arguments about whether “bourbon” is a capital city, this one’s pure cowboy chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s a wild mix today, betch. We meet the woman who got 5 kilos of French butter as a push present (yep, actual butter), and hear Lauren Spencer Smith’s stunning One Direction cover. Blackers puts everyone through a sonic showdown with the Startup Game, where things get... unexpectedly saucy. In the Glossys, Deborra-Lee’s planning a tell-all, Chris Martin’s dating Sophie Turner, and Diplo’s still dropping Trudeau jokes. Plus, a gold toilet worth $15 million and a marathon that somehow turned into speed dating.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bernard Fanning dropped by for a chat about Wish You Well, his Tea and Sympathy tour and why he loves touring more than ever. Then we tore into the Glossys and your wild messages in Mailbag — including a surprise celebrity lurking on our socials. Plus, we opened the phones to people who saw Oasis in Melbourne, while Joel’s heading to the Sydney gig and it’s driving Blackers absolutely mad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things got spooky in the studio today as the gang went head-to-head in a pumpkin carving showdown – but only one jack-o’-legend could take the crown. We also sank our fangs into Heidi Klum’s Halloween looks over the years, from creepy to couture. And if that wasn’t scary enough, Blackers dropped a Prince Andrew fact so wild it’ll haunt your dreams. Trick or treat yourself to this Halloween special… if you dare.

Tim’s hosting the bloody ARIAs again! Yep, Blackers is back for round two as the 2025 ARIA Awards host, this time teaming up with triple j’s Concetta Caristo. He’s also got Angela Bishop, Georgia Tunny and Latifa Tee holding it down on the red carpet. The show’s going live from 5pm AEDT, Wednesday November 19 on Paramount+, so you better believe he’s already practicing his “Good evening, Australia!” voice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Blackers announced he’s hosting the 2025 ARIA Awards red carpet again, and we couldn’t be more excited for our man in the spotlight. We dove into Total Turnoffs with a hilarious list of hairstyles that, according to a “funny website” Joel found, are guaranteed to kill your chances in the dating world. Lil Jon has gone zen, releasing a meditative version of “Yeah!” that you need to hear to believe. We also asked, “What do you swear by?” and this couple blew our minds, claiming they got married at Hobbiton, with Frodo himself making a cameo. In the glossies, Heather Gay from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City has hooked up with Captain Jason from Below Deck Down Under, and we can’t stop gossiping. Things got emotional when a man tried to bring an emotional support roast chicken through airport security, and yes, it got cleared. Finally, Angela Bishop joined us for Quick Draw and crushed it, proving she’s just as sharp on the game as she is hosting the ARIA red carpet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We asked what you learned at school that you’ll never ever ever ever ever forget, and honestly... the answers were cooked. Ricki still remembers 3.14 etcetera, Joel can only say “can I go to the toilet?” in French, and Blackers had an English teacher named Mrs Language. Only on this show. Plus, we unpacked the chaos at Brisbane State High after they accidentally taught the wrong Roman emperor for an entire year. Augustus instead of Caesar? That’s one way to fail ancient history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we want to hear your crazy in love stories after a beautiful AirBnb story. Blackers goes through the nominations for this year's ARIAs. In the Glossy's, Cardi B defends claims that she has a stinky bum. And Hawthorn legend, Shane Crawford takes on Joel in a game of Quick Draw!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TGIM, betches! We’re diving headfirst into the VMAs chaos, where Mariah Carey finally scored her first Moon Person (took her 35 years but who’s counting?) and served up a performance medley that shook the arena. Meanwhile, a Coldplay kiss-cam queen has officially filed for divorce, a breakdancing US politician is protesting tax hikes one spin at a time, and Brooklyn Beckham is cooking pasta with straight-up seawater—bon appétit? Plus, Bieber crashes a pub, Travis cops a slap in Brazil, and Paul McCartney rocks out at Oasis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kicked things off with Blackers traumatising his kids by showing them Mrs Doubtfire, only to realise it’s less about laughs and more about divorce. From there, the chat moved to kids’ sport, with Blackers proudly bragging about his son’s three trophies and a medal, including the all-important “player’s player.” Joel shared memories of pennants tennis with his mum heckling from the sidelines, while Ricki reminded us of her saxophone and netball days. Then we landed on a mum who stormed the ice at her son’s hockey match in full Birkenstocks to scream at the ref. Listeners chimed in too... Claire smashed out every netball position in one game, and nine-year-old Thomas told us how parents took “parents vs kids” way too seriously, bowling over five-year-olds like a demolition derby.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The AFL’s Legends charity match at Marvel Stadium turned serious when Hughesy copped a massive hit from former West Coast Eagle Andrew Embley. He was rushed to hospital by his wife at 5am with five broken ribs and a punctured lung, landing him in intensive care. Blackers revealed he still hasn’t heard back from Hughesy’s texts, which he says is very unusual — and a bit worrying. What was meant to be a fun night of footy ended up with one of comedy’s biggest names on the sidelines.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We got stuck into the wild world of school lunches from Blackers’ impressive Bento box spreads to Ricki hustling for pie money and Joel’s hard boiled egg trauma. Then we uncovered the influencer who’s sending his kid to school with caviar, octopus and filet mignon like it’s fine dining recess. Callers joined in with their own iconic lunch orders, from naked sausage rolls to bougie truffle sandwiches.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kids don’t hold back, and today we proved it. From writing breakup notes in crayon to telling Santa he can’t be Santa if he was once a baby, the savage honesty was next level. Ricki shared how her daughter dropped the F-bomb in perfect context, and Blackers’ kids have whole notes apps full of zingers like “girls can’t be Santa.” Listeners called in with their own from “you look old, Mum” to “you’re so fat and cuddly.” Honestly, kids could run a roast battle and win every round.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy National Radio Day to our only radio broadcaster, Blackers! (lol) And to celebrate, he plays the most epic, hilarious and grossest radio breaks to ever grace the Aussie waves!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you’ve ever wanted to wind up a bloke for sport, Ricki’s found the ultimate cheat sheet. Forget hormones, forget logic, this is straight-up ragebait 101. Lines like “What sport would you play if you were athletic?” or “You look like you read with your finger” had the guys squirming in their seats. Joel copped it with a cheeky “pixie cut” sledge, Blackers defended his height with everything he had, and Ricki was living for every triggered reaction. It’s petty, it’s brutal, and it’s bloody hilarious.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki’s found the ultimate guide on how to rage-bait men and, surprise, Blackers didn’t cope well. We crack open the mailbag after our “douche de leche” clip went nuts online, with Ricki reading some of the sassiest comments she’s ever copped. Adults are now sucking on pacifiers (yep, that’s a thing), and Joel celebrated his birthday the only way he knows how — at the gym. Plus, what everyday items should you ditch? An influencer says TVs, microwaves and even downlights. And finally, the dictionary has added new words like “skibidi”… because apparently English wasn’t confusing enough already.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back, beettttchhhh! Did you miss us? Because we missed you, too! We catch up on the things we missed over the break... and not just the Coldplay CEO cheating saga! We go through your messages and comments with Mailbag. Ricki hilariously details her most boring holiday in New Zealand (you may disagree if you're not Ricki-Lee tbh), and Joel found the funniest GRWM video on-line. If you don't know what that means, so doesn't Blackers - and we explain what the kids are saying.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim’s son Alfie—Grade 4’s newest wordsmith—has penned the most iconic thank-you letter to the parents who spruced up the school toilets. He compares the upgraded bathroom experience to walking a red carpet (which he’s been on many, thanks to Dad's job), but says this one felt special… because he actually deserved it. And the pièce de résistance? His pee finally smells like something. Move over Shakespeare, Alfie 4B has arrived!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After an Addison Rae story, we ask callers what they would do if they switched genders for the day. Imagine Dragons is apparently a mystery anagram so Blackers tries to decode it. In the Glossy’s, Gaga hints at another collaboration with Beyoncé. Being 35 now makes you middle-aged according to experts. And, David Campbell joins us for Quick Draw.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Strap in, betch—this one's chaotic! A man on a hijacked plane decided the best course of action was to snap a selfie with the hijacker. We unpack the madness. Plus, a guy cooked a full steak at a traffic light, a whale swiped right on love and swam 13,000km for it, and Tim debuts a joke he thought of in the car—will it land, or will it bomb? Also, what’s the craziest thing you’ve fit in your mouth? One guy managed an entire whisk—you won’t believe how. And we spin the Wednesday Wheel for a round of Google Off!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Tuesday betchesssss! We kick it off today checking out the renovations done to the classic Home Alone mansion. They've absolutely sucked the soul out of it!Then we explore some of the best performances of all time... and we say that with just a slight hint of sarcasm here...Plus, what do you call people that you hate? Are you calling them vanilla baby? Although Joel feels like he's a bit more of a boysenberry and Blackers definitely agrees with that one.Rounding it all out with some absolutely thought provoking motivational quotes from our very own Ricki-Lee!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Jacuzzi Friday! We're serving up another wild ride today... Ricki and Joel are clearly meant to live in South Korea. We found out about a man who binge-ate to avoid military service, and let's just say, the dedication was truly... inspirational.

With Tim off hosting the ARIAs (go, Blackers!), Jase from Nova Melbourne's Jase & Lauren steps in to keep the good vibes rolling. We couldn't be prouder of Tim—this is massive! Joel's fascination with big holes takes another wild turn. We chat about a prisoner kicking a massive hole in a jail wall to escape and dive into the bizarre theory that aliens created a beach hole (it was just some drunk sandcastle shenanigans, of course). Ricki shares the hilarious story of how a rogue champagne cork left her with a self-inflicted concussion—classic Ricki. And during The Age Game, Joel made a bold (and very wrong) guess about Kylie Minogue's age. The Minogue family didn't take it lightly—Joel even got a phone call from them! Did he talk his way out of trouble, or did they deliver a serve? To wrap it up, we celebrate Tim's incredible ARIA hosting debut with highlights of his best moments. Safe to say, he absolutely crushed it!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim's been waiting for this moment for so long. And you deserve this, Blackers. We support you 100%. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've got a big one today, betch! Blackers has a huge announcement, and it's something he's been dreaming of for ages. We couldn't be more excited to finally share it with you! In other news, there's been a serious mix-up on Mattel's new Wicked dolls, where a typo on the packaging accidentally directs to a very NSFW site. We've got the full story! Then, it's Tim vs. Ricki & Joel in Mailbag as we find out who's the most “peaceful” of the bunch (hint: it's not who you'd think!). Plus, the smiley face emoji has officially fallen out of Gen Z's favor—find out why they're cancelling it and what to use instead. Finally, The Kid Laroi joins Tim for a chat about his upcoming appearance at the Arias and shares his ultimate chicken shop order!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In an unforgettable chat, Blackers sits down with the legendary John Laws as he prepares to sign off the airwaves after an astounding 71-year career. Known for his deep voice, golden microphone, and quick wit, Laws shares stories from his start in Bendigo at 18, his love for radio, and even some surprising dislikes—like his tense interview with Gordon Ramsay! In true Laws fashion, he keeps things real, sharing his best career advice in a single word: listen. From his favorite tipple, Wild Turkey (paired with Coke, depending on the hour), to his humorous reflections on the industry and what he'll miss most, it's a candid, heartfelt chat between two radio icons. Tim leaves with a big dose of inspiration and a few laughs from Laws' no-nonsense style.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Blackers is back! Let's do this! Are you a ‘sleep psycho' like Cristiano Ronaldo? He takes five 90-minute naps a day—find out why! Plus, we dive into TikTok's latest hack for removing fake tan from bedsheets (you won't believe how people mess up their sheets!). Karl Stefanovic calls in to chat about his sizzling new collab with Keli Holiday from Peking Duk, and we hear from someone who's lived through the bizarre world of ugly privilege.

With Tim out sick, our nights show king Smallzy takes the reins today—will things stay on track or go off the rails? We dive into Fatman Scoop's shocking stage incident, sift through your Mailbag comments, and explore a hotel that offers dogs through room service. In Glossys, Adele's long break from music makes headlines, and we've got a wild story about a woman jailed for starting wildfires to flirt with firemen. Plus, we're asking for your best pickup lines, and trying to convince Joel to watch F1 by spotlighting the hottest drivers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yesterday in the Glossys, we spoke about SZA trying to help a fan with her homework through her DMs. So, Blackers talks about the time he got a reply from Solange after trying to correct her grammar! People call up and share their celeb interactions. One - a Swiftie - shares her moment with Tay Tay herself!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A 16-year-old girl named Kirra who performed in the blind auditions on 'The Voice' says on the show she did it to impress her crush. During the chat, Blackers reveals he heard from someone what Adam Lambert earns per show when touring with Queen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, we kicked off with a hilarious recap of the 'party bag' segment from this morning's Today Show Extra featuring Blackers and newsreader Michelle. Their banter was on point, and the segment had us all in stitches! Next, we covered the bizarre story of a lunch lady who managed to steal over $2 million worth of chicken wings—yes, you heard that right. The details are as juicy as the wings themselves. Then, we got a sweet treat with the reveal of the chocolate muffin recipe from the Paris Olympics village. If you've been dreaming of indulging like an Olympian, we've got you covered. We also discussed a fun fact about Kamala Harris—she might just become the first U.S. president to have worked at McDonald's, bringing new meaning to humble beginnings. Finally, we wrapped things up with a game of Joel Jivin'. Joel brought out his 'Wicked' secret weapon, and let's just say, it was a showstopper! Don't miss out on this one!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wishing you a very happy TGIM, live from our laughing emoji button!

We're now into our second day in Queenstown! As cold as it is, things got fiery between Blackers and Joel when he mentioned Joel's big belly... haha, you do not wanna miss that!  Some lady got massive Taylor fomo and bought tickets. More on that later! But now we're about to hop onto an Enrique Iglacier!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Okay, Blackers (via our colleague Ultra-Nate) BLEW OUR MIND with this club sandwich fact. Make sure you stick around to hear that. We debrief on the Origin game last night - and Joel did something on a whim ON HIS OWN last night, and got to see Jemma Rix do Wicked in Melbourne. He talks all about it. If you're reading this on your phone, take a few secs to learn about phone etiquette because we go through some of it. Taylor Swift has defended Gaga -  we go through a bit of that in the Glossys... ...and Australia's favourite chef Poh comes in to play a game of Quick Draw, and trust her to make steamed broccoli sound so good!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're all a little startled because Jemma Rix is doing Wicked... and Joel is FRRRREAKING OUT! What are you new to? Thanks to Elon Musk's Starlink service, a remote community has finally had access to Internet and share their experience - have one good guess what some of them are addicted to... There are nightclubs for over 30s, in particular, R&B brunches. Blackers obviously refuses to go to these things, but wait until you hear an injury that happened with one clubgoer. Alec Baldwin's set for a reality show. More on that in the Glossys. And it's State of Origin today, which state is the home of better music?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
