Advertise on podcast: Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel

Ricki & Tim broadcast from their new studio for the first time and Tim was absolutely not having it—he hated everything about the change while Ricki tried to keep it together. The handball vs downball vs upball debate continued after a Melbournian TikToker reignited Australia's most divisive schoolyard argument, with listeners calling in from every state with different names for the same game. A legendary songwriter got mistaken for Ghislaine Maxwell at the Grammys because of their similar hairstyles, and the internet lost it. Australian Idol returned with over a million viewers and some incredible auditions that'll make you cry. SZA defended Cher's Luther Vandross mix-up in the sweetest way, Nicki Minaj randomly came for Lizzo on Twitter with a Chucky photo, and Kim K allegedly had an intimate Cotswolds weekend with Lewis Hamilton complete with bodyguards outside their hotel room door. Plus we did the last ever Joel Jivin' in drive show history—RIP to a legend. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We stumbled into the most divisive schoolyard debate of all time—what do you actually call that game where you hit a ball between squares? Tim and Ricki always knew it as handball, Joel called it Foursquare in Perth, but then a TikToker claimed it's actually called downball and the floodgates opened. Listeners rang in from all over Australia with completely different names depending on where they grew up and what size ball you're using. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Grammys were pure chaos—Cher forgot to present an award, walked off stage, came back and accidentally announced Luther Vandross as the winner (he died in 2005). Bieber performed in his boxers, Lola Young dropped an F-bomb, and Olivia Dean won Best New Artist. Brooklyn Beckham's getting roasted for making "spaghetti bolognese" with orechiette pasta instead of actual spaghetti—guess he couldn't ear the recipe properly. A UFC fighter's toupee got knocked off mid-fight and he blamed his mum's shampoo. We opened the mailbag after announcing the big changes and listeners are in their feelings. Plus Mariah sat stone-faced watching artists attempt her impossible songs at the MusiCares tribute—her shade face was everything. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's our first Mailbag Monday since announcing the big changes, and listeners are in their feelings. We're breaking up the drive show gang—Ricki and Tim are moving to Sydney breakfast on February 9, Joel's going solo in the afternoons, and Fitzy, Wippa and Kate are taking over drive. People sent in the sweetest messages about how the show's been their comfort podcast through high school, pregnancy insomnia, and daily commutes, while others threatened to kidnap Joel's girlfriend if we split up (jokes... kind of). Someone roasted Tim for wearing actual pants instead of girls' skinny jeans in the announcement photo, and we reminded everyone you can still catch us from 6-7pm across Australia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Grammys were absolutely chaotic and we're breaking down all the best moments. Cher was supposed to present Record of the Year but instead ad-libbed about her career, then just walked off stage without giving out the award—Trevor Noah had to call her back, and when she finally read the winner she accidentally said Luther Vandross (who died in 2005) instead of Kendrick Lamar. F-bombs were dropping left and right, Jamie Foxx wore the same giant novelty hat he had on at dinner with us, and Beyoncé showed up fashionably late with just Jay-Z, Blue Ivy, and her bodyguard at a tiny table. Bieber performed in his boxers and socks with his eyes closed the entire time, and somehow Michelle Yeoh got a Razzie nomination for Wicked even though Defying Gravity won a Grammy.

The band is breaking up. We announced that Ricki & Tim are doing Sydney breakfast, and Joel is going solo nationally! Hear our announcements and reactions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ICYMI, Ricki-Lee & Tim are heading to Sydney Breakfast on Feb 9, and Joel's going solo in April. Here are the guys driving you home from Feb 9... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Things are changing for 2026. We're getting our own shows. Hear the announcement here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nicola Peltz allegedly gets a $1 million monthly allowance from her billionaire dad, which by our estibation is about $12 million a year—so we asked what you'd do with that kind of cash. David Beckham's Paris Fashion Week dinner order got broken down euro by euro, and a 79-year-old husband learned how to do his blind wife's hair and makeup at beauty school after 50 years of marriage (grab the tissues). Kim K spilled about Britney crashing at their place for girl time and why Kris deleted those Meghan and Harry party pics, while Rose revealed Taylor Swift pulled her aside at a party to give her career advice. A data firm confirmed pop music is getting sadder and angstier, with despair spiking sharply after 2020—our estibation is we're all just vibing with the existential dread now. Plus, a bloke photographed his date's fridge on the first date and it was full of... frankfurts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A data firm analysed 25 years of Billboard Hot 100 lyrics and confirmed what we've all been feeling—pop music is getting way sadder and angstier. They tracked moods like heartbreak, joy, angst and love across thousands of songs, and tracks invoking angst and heartbreak are dominating the charts now (hello Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, and Die With A Smile). Love songs are still hanging in there, but here's the kicker: "despair" started spiking sharply after 2020. Apparently the pandemic really said let's make everything a vibe check, and pop music took notes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rumours have been swirling that Nicola Peltz receives a monthly allowance from her billionaire dad Nelson Peltz, even though she's 31 years old. An English journalist just confirmed the tea on a podcast, claiming Nelson allegedly told someone he gives his daughter a cool million dollars... every single month. That's $12 million a year if you're doing the math at home, which is more than most people will see in a lifetime. Must be nice having a dad worth $2.5 billion.

Joel revealed his absolutely chaotic laptop desktop and we needed to know—what's your messy shame that would trigger everyone? A woman on Instagram went viral listing all the types of people who piss her off (looking at you, "hubby" and "nummy" users), so we shared ours including people who say "expresso" and those who constantly say "we have to catch up" but never do. Deni Hines walked out of I'm A Celebrity and we revisited Joel and Chrissy's iconic "we are the show" moment from their season. Harry Styles allegedly has "no loyalty" to Louis Tomlinson after dropping his single on the same day as Louis' album release, and the drama is juicy. We dove into the wildest episodes of My Strange Addiction including people who eat cardboard, snort their meals, and use... unconventional skincare routines. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Deni Hines walked out of the I'm A Celebrity jungle after less than a week, and her reason for leaving has everyone talking (hint: it involves the long drop). We revisited the iconic moment when Joel and Chrissy Swan tried to quit the show years ago, which produced one of the greatest reality TV quotes of all time. But then Chrissy went on her show and said something that has Joel absolutely fuming. He's seen the Instagram tag, he knows what she said, and Sonia Kruger is now officially his new best showbiz friend. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel and Ricki were both in Perth at the same time and somehow never hung out—the passive aggressive energy was real. We discovered Gen Z is too broke to go out so they're hosting admin nights and PowerPoint presentations instead (truly unhinged behaviour). Tim took us through the final meals of the world's most notorious criminals because nothing says drive time radio like death row dinners. A horny stat revealed men peak way later than you'd think, which means Joel's got five years before he becomes unstoppable. Sydney Sweeney's been decorating the Hollywood Sign with bras for her new movie, and we wrapped with the Short Kings edition of Joel Jivin' because height is just a number. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tim found a study that completely flips what we thought we knew about male desire, and it involves 67,000 people (though 69,000 would've been way more appropriate for this topic). Turns out men don't peak when you'd expect—there's a very specific age range that changes everything, and Joel's got about five years until he becomes an absolute menace. Jack, consider yourself warned. Also, Tim's beard is getting him objectified around Sydney, and honestly? He's never been happier about it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
