Ricki‑Lee & Tim

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.

During ANZAC Day Welcome to Country ceremonies across Sydney, Canberra, Perth and Melbourne, a small group of people booed Indigenous Elders as they spoke. At Martin Place it was especially confronting: Uncle Ray, the Elder who delivered the Welcome to Country, is himself a veteran whose grandfather served in the Light Horse Brigade and whose brothers served in Vietnam. A man who served this country, booed at a dawn service. There were 11,000 people at Martin Place this year, more than double the year before, so the respect was overwhelming. But the boos cut through the silence in the worst possible way.

We spun the wheel and played Word Alarm. The great soap bar debate: are they back or are they done forever? New Music Friday delivered as always. The President of the Australian Medical Association came in to explain peptides and why the ones being sold online with "not for human use" on the label are a problem, including that Tim's old GP turned out to be our expert which raised eyebrows. Insurance scammers called in and things got out of hand fast: fake bear attacks on luxury cars in California, a decade of stolen coffee stamps, and an unqualified vet nurse who has been running surgeries for seven years and nobody has noticed. And Jim Jefferies came in, was absolutely unhinged as expected, and somehow it came out that he has done opera. We need answers.

Three people in California got caught staging fake bear attacks on their own luxury cars to claim $142,000 in insurance money. They kept the bear suits. In the house. Detectives found them immediately. We open the phones for Sydney's own scammers and it escalated quickly: one listener negotiated a better insurance deal and kept the $350 signup bonus anyway, another has been working as an unqualified vet nurse for seven years doing surgeries with drugs of addiction and nobody knows, and a third has been stealing the coffee loyalty stamp from local cafes for a decade and stamping up the whole family. We have so many questions about the vet nurse.
