Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Google's plan to release millions of mosquitoes had us imagining where we'd unleash them around Sydney, while Callan Boys stopped by with his latest must-visit food recommendations. Ricki sent everyone into an existential spiral with a list of things that could be extinct within the next decade, and then things got even more heated when we tackled the growing push for a three-day work week. We also uncovered Ricki's very specific and completely irrational fear of falling into a pothole, before Emma Freedman joined us to chat all things Commonwealth Games and put her skills to the test in a competitive game of Quick Draw.

The idea of a three-day work week sparked a surprisingly fiery debate, with some listeners ready to sign up immediately and others convinced it would be the end of productivity as we know it. We unpacked new reports about AI coming for a stack of jobs, whether working from home has changed people's attitudes to work, and why younger generations seem to have very different priorities from their parents. Along the way, bus drivers, working mums and plenty of opinionated Sydneysiders weighed in on whether less work for the same pay is a dream come true or a complete fantasy. Turns out nobody agrees on much, except that everyone still wants to get paid.

Google apparently wants to unleash 32 million mosquitoes in parts of the US, which somehow led us to ask Sydney's most important question: where would you release them here? Tim had a very specific grudge against a traffic nightmare in Petersham, listeners nominated everything from road intersections to entire suburbs, and one caller absolutely unloaded on Casula. Along the way, we learned why the mozzies are being released in the first place, got distracted by Niall Horan jokes, and discovered a genuinely shocking list of the deadliest animals on Earth. Turns out mosquitoes are a lot scarier than sharks... and dogs somehow made the list too.

Ricki and Tim kicked things off with the tracks that can lift your mood faster than a servo coffee and a full tank of petrol.
The team also took a peek inside the insane world of celebrity riders, uncovering some of the strangest requests artists make backstage. Our very own Ricki-Lee keeps things icy with a nippy 16-degree aircon request and bottles of Veuve and Moet – ABSOLUTELY NO PROSECCO.
Thomas Mitchell called in with this week’s movie and streaming picks, while Tim found himself surrounded by radio history after heading to the auction of broadcasting legend John Laws’ estate, where he tested his bidding skills and somehow walked out the proud owner of a… green marble lion.
PLUS in true competitive fashion, Rick, Tim and Sarah put their brains to the test with a rapid-fire challenge, seeing just how many things they could name from a chosen category in 30 seconds - with varying levels of success panic along the way.

From Guinness taking over Sydney to Sarah discovering what “splitting the G” actually means, it was one of those shows. We met Hayden, a bloke who somehow needed two million swipes to land his first date, then took a deep dive into the dating profile that may have been holding him back. There was heated debate after a man on Instagram absolutely butchered the pronunciation of “linguini”, plus a wild story from a La La Land concert where an audience member ended up saving the show. We also unpacked a new Aussie study claiming baby brain isn't real, investigated the avalanche of Easter eggs hidden in Taylor Swift’s new Toy Story 5 song announcement, and chatted to Jason Momoa, who accidentally gave Tim the perfect excuse to never go to the gym.
