Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Gen Z has declared Speedos unacceptable according to a great Aussie debate survey and Tim, a man who does laps in Speedos, is taking it personally. The verdict: Speedos are absolutely fine for lap swimming, board shorts at the beach with the kids, and if you have the confidence to rock them with a big gut at the pool then honestly we respect it.

Thursday's show covered the viral video of a dad walking down the aisle alone at his daughter's wedding without her, which opened the phones for unexpected wedding moments. Callan Boys stopped by with his top Sydney local eats picks, and we got into the new trend of friend funds among mates. And Hughesy came in to chat about his Cooked show at Sydney Comedy Fest before playing Quick Draw, which went exactly as you would expect from Hughesy.

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.

Friend funds are a thing now, where friendship groups pool money to cover socialising costs. But does that not just sound like splitting the bill with extra steps? We get into the real drama: people who itemise exactly what they had, latecomers who dodge the entree split, and the classic T-Rex hands move where someone's arms mysteriously get too short to reach the bill whenever it arrives. Also a genuine disagreement: if you invite people to your birthday dinner, should you pay or should they?

Meeting people in real life is apparently harder than ever and a Body and Soul guide to dating in 2025 made everyone deeply uncomfortable. Bruce Isaacs delivered his verdict on the Michael Jackson biopic and called it wonderful, critics be damned. Young couples are ditching engagement rings for tattoos instead and we had thoughts. Wil Anderson came in ahead of Gruen returning to ABC tonight and was exactly as sharp as you would expect. Madonna is playing gay clubs ahead of her new album which is the most Madonna thing possible. And Patrick Brammall stopped by fresh from the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere to tell us he turned down the audition, did nothing, and got offered the role anyway. The fake Rolex story alone was worth the visit.

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.

Film critic Bruce Isaacs stops by and delivers a verdict on the Michael Jackson biopic that cuts right through all the noise: he thinks it is one of the most wonderful films he has seen in years. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes gave it 32%. Audiences who are fans gave it 97%. Bruce says both are right depending on your relationship to the legacy. If you go in wanting the film to litigate Michael's guilt or innocence you will struggle, but if you go in for the music and the story you will be emotional and overwhelmed.

A Body and Soul guide to meeting people in real life has us deeply uncomfortable. The tips include spending time alone at bars and cafes, maintaining steady eye contact with strangers you find attractive, and starting conversations in the bathroom line. Ricki would call the police if someone stared at her like that. Tim talks to people in lifts and urinals and thinks the bathroom line chat is actually fine. We are two very different people. Both deeply grateful we do not have to date.

Tuesday's show had everything. A Sydney beach had to close because of a whale carcass washing up, which is not ideal. Tim drove to Hoyts purely to buy popcorn and a Coke and did not see a film, and we respect the commitment. We spun the wheel and played Spelling Bee, and one listener's attempt at spelling colonel will live in our memories forever. We talked about the booing at ANZAC Day ceremonies over the weekend which was genuinely upsetting. Stanley Tucci said active wear should only be worn while working out and Sydney took it as a personal attack. Kids in Sydney have been caught bus surfing which opened up the phones for everyone's own childhood crimes. Ricki saw the Michael Jackson movie and had thoughts in today's Glossys. We broke down everyone who acted strange during the White House Correspondents dinner shooting. And Pete Helliar came in to play Sing, which was exactly as chaotic as you would expect.

Stanley Tucci is out promoting Devil Wears Prada 2 and had the audacity to tell GQ that active wear should only be worn while working out. Sydney, a city that has adopted the active wear and track pant as its official uniform, is not having it. Ricki points out that if it doesn't have an elastic waistband she is simply not interested. We open the phones for controversial opinions and they deliver: no ankle socks on men ever, Aperol Spritz is disgusting and belongs nowhere, stop making food at work, lanyards stay on office grounds only, and weddings are overrated. A big Tuesday.
