Transcribe →Nap Time: How A Smart Scale Exposed a Cheating Husband at 12.25am!
Jul 900:06:17Tap to summarizeWe're back live Monday July 13. A woman discovered her husband was cheating by checking the memory on their digital bathroom scale, which recorded two unassigned weigh-ins at 120 pounds at 12.25am and 12.26am while she was away. We open the phones for how people caught others out: Ricki got busted secret eating a sausage roll in the rain by Rich who had gone to buy her a sausage roll as a reward for running in the rain, Sarah's son was faking toilet training by dribbling water from a cup into the toilet to get the lollipop, a listener's housemate had been stealing her entire wardrobe, and someone dumped illegal rubbish next to a bin with their name, address and phone number still on the stickers. Criminal masterminds, every one of themSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Nap Time: Angus & Julia Stone Accidentally Named Our Brand New Segment
Jul 800:07:58Tap to summarizeAngus and Julia Stone come in to perform their brand new song live, making them the very first guests on Karaoke Bar Fridays, a segment that didn't have a name until they walked in and accidentally suggested it. The song was written in a stunning Paris studio about a year and a half ago and they hadn't actually rehearsed it together before coming in because Angus had been in Japan. We also find out Julia does Jagged Little Pill at karaoke for the catharsis, Angus does Wicked Games because of course he does, and an Australian tour is being planned for 2027. We are not angry about it. Okay we are a little.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Nap Time: Everyone's Injecting Peptides and a Doctor Had to Explain Why That's Risky
Jul 700:06:11Tap to summarizeWe're back live Monday July 13. Peptides are everywhere right now: weight loss, skin care, muscle recovery, tanning. We got the President of the Australian Medical Association Dr Danielle McMullen on the phone to explain what they actually are and why the ones being sold online are a problem. Short version: the approved ones prescribed by doctors are fine, but the unregulated ones sold online may have never been tested on humans, can cause cancer, blindness or kidney damage, and often say not for human use right next to the injection instructions. Also it turned out she used to be Tim's GP which raised more questions than it answered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Nap Time: The Most Chaotic Dad Story We've Ever Heard
Jul 600:06:40Tap to summarizeA 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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Nap Time: Kylie Minogue Finally Admits What She Really Thought of the Singing Budgie Years
Jul 500:07:54Tap to summarizeWe're back live Monday July 13. Kylie Minogue calls in ahead of her Netflix documentary dropping tomorrow and it is everything. She talks about why it took years to say yes, how she finally felt okay enough in herself to let people behind the curtain, and what it was like reliving decades of archive footage. She is proud of her resilience above everything else, proud of taking risks even when they didn't work, and deeply done with the singing budgie era. The press back then was brutal and she had no platform to push back. Now she does. Her defining song: Love at First Sight because it has her DNA in it. We played it immediately.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Nap Time: How Tim Got Bali Belly For THREE YEARS!
Jul 200:03:29Tap to summarizeWe're back live Monday July 13. Ricki and Tim swapped Bali horror stories before discovering the island's newest trend is a 5:30am silent disco run, which sounds very different to the Bali most Aussies remember. That sparked stories from listeners, including Bron, who somehow beat a group of German tourists in a beer-sculling competition and spent the rest of her holiday being pointed at like a local celebrity. But the standout came from Jake, whose romantic villa getaway took a wild turn when a bat flew into the room, bounced off a ceiling fan and landed in his girlfriend's luggage. Twenty minutes later, a monkey turned up to finish the job, delivering what might be the most Bali story ever told.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Nap Time: He Asked for $38 Back After She Rejected a Second Date
Jul 100:04:05Tap to summarizeWe're back live Monday July 13. Sydney dating is rough and this story proves it. A man took a woman out for breakfast, she politely declined a second date, and he immediately asked her to transfer her half of the $38 bill. We get into the real question: who pays on a first date and what does it mean? Jermaine's theory is that whoever covers the bill is signalling there will be a next time. Listeners call in with their dating rules and one woman in Camden is absolutely eliminating men based on sunglass choice alone. Thin gold frames after dark? You are done before you started.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
