Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Tim catches up with Sam Fender live from LA where the last 48 hours have been completely unhinged. In that time he saw Paul McCartney at an intimate 1,000 cap venue, had dinner with Elton John, got introduced to Al Pacino and somehow held himself together without mentioning they share the same birthday, and flew the Millennium Falcon at Disneyland. Rein Me In has been number one in the UK for five weeks and he spent the last three months playing PlayStation and eating pizza. A true artist. He also apologises to Sydney for not bringing Olivia Dean on stage at his ARIA show, which is all Tim wanted from this interview.

A woman in the US was arrested, cuffed, put in the back of a police car and somehow squeezed her way out through a tiny gap in the window while the cops were inside getting takeaway. Listeners call in with their own MacGyver moments: Tim once pried open a pitch black lift with his bare hands after being stuck for an hour with 10% battery during a flood, and a bloke ran out of petrol on the highway and fashioned a leaf into a funnel to pour petrol from a Tupperware container into his car. Absolute heroes the lot of them.

Samantha Jade stops by to chat about her new banger and ends up revealing the story she has never told before: on the 100th show of Pretty Woman, mid performance, in full costume, wig, hat and microphone, she got the cold sweats, the salivary mouth and had to run offstage to be sick while the cover stepped in. An absolute professional. She also plays the women's edition of Sing and holds her own against Ricki, which is no small feat.

Tuesday's show packed a lot in. We broke down the jobs most vulnerable to AI and reassured the nurses and chefs that they are safe for now. Australians are spending an average of seven hours a day on their phones and our team has absolutely smashed that number. Listeners called in with their celebrity flight neighbour stories which delivered. We got into the minor inconveniences that completely ruin your day. Misheard lyrics caused chaos as always. The Harry Potter reboot is happening and the new trio's salaries got revealed in today's Glossys which raised some eyebrows. And Samantha Jade came in, dropped a banger, played the women's edition of Sing, and told the story of the time she nearly threw up on stage at her 100th Pretty Woman show in full costume and microphone. Never been told before. We were honoured.

The average Aussie spends seven hours a day on their phone and we have absolutely smashed that benchmark. Ricki clocks in at seven hours and 34 minutes, down from eight and a half the week before. Jermaine is at eight hours and 42 minutes and is not apologising. Tim is a very smug four hours and 43 minutes but his phone is apparently so boring it would rather be a brick. Speaking of, there is an actual physical lock box you can buy to stop yourself picking up your phone and we think it sounds like torture.

A new list of the ten jobs most exposed to AI is out and it's almost entirely tech roles: web designers, database architects, financial risk specialists and information security analysts. The executive chef and the nurse who called in can relax. Also: Tim learned Younger You on piano and wants to perform it with Ricky, which is brave given she once told him his guitar playing was "too strummy" mid song at a party. He has not forgotten.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z left their $400 million superyacht staff a $630,000 tip, which is either the most generous thing we've ever heard or just a completely different planet to the rest of us. Also in today's Glossys: Andrew Garfield has secret burner accounts for doomscrolling and calls them his creeper accounts, Mariah Carey was spotted doing her own groceries in full glam and sunnies which nobody believes for a second, and Paul McCartney dropped a new song with possibly the most stacked guest list in history.

Monday's show was a big one. Trump was caught on camera rambling about a Sharpie for an uncomfortably long time while a war was happening, and we have the footage. We spun the wheel and played the Emoji game. Office air is apparently making us all ugly and haggard by 4pm. Ricky recapped last night's Australian Idol which delivered as always. Tim went on a genuinely hectic bush walk and lived to tell the tale. We broke down Australia's unwritten rules including the thank you wave, the middle urinal and always going to bed at the same time as your partner. Beyoncé and Jay-Z tipped $630,000 on a superyacht and we are not okay. A man went viral for somehow holding down an unhinged number of jobs at once. And Ricki-Leaks landed with some very hot Sydney gossip that we cannot stop thinking about.

Thank you wave in traffic. Walk on the left. Click your tongs before the barbie. Let the person with two items go ahead of you at the checkout. Never use the middle urinal. Always go to bed at the same time as your partner. These are not suggestions. A Swiss woman moving to Australia needed all of this explained to her, including the fact that "bring a plate" does not mean bring an actual plate. We are a complex country.

A woman on TikTok says office air is making her ugly, comparing her 9am glow to her haggard 4pm reality. We relate. Downlights also copped a serve because whoever invented them clearly hates us. But the real bombshell came from a listener whose Botox lady told her that running destroys the fat pockets in your cheeks and she can spot a runner the second they lie down. We quit running in under two seconds and have no regrets.
