Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Full Show | "YOU'RE" Extremely Hot

·1 hr 7 min·5 clips
Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers played his new jazz album for a small group in Sydney—what did he reveal?
The show opens with Ricky Lee and Tim greeting podcasters and setting up a New Music Friday. Flea's album is first up, although its title causes more pronunciation trouble than any lack of enthusiasm. They circle around "Honora," link it to "your honour" and a movie title, and Ricky Lee says the record held attention so fully that the name disappeared on him. They describe it as jazzy and funky, with covers, originals, and spoken-word sections. The album apparently sends one of them into another dimension. Tim and Ricky Lee then move to "All The Time" by John Summitt, The Chainsmokers and Ozzy. They also revisit "Sideways" by Charlie Puth before bringing in Zayn's new "Sideways." "Pillow Talk" is treated as a towering benchmark for Zayn, and the new song is placed somewhere in that same world. The second "Sideways" gets its own joke. Peking Duck are shouted out through Adam and Ruben, with their album "Paradise" announced for August 14th. The pair try to work out whether the group's previous track arrived in 2004 or 2024, which sends them briefly through Ricky Lee's Australian Idol era. Rico Nasty is named as the US rapper on the new Peking Duck track, and the music section closes with excitement that the boys are back. From there, the chat lands on the Google app's AI, with Gemini suggested as the name. Dating compliments become the next turn, including a sung opening before the entree. The episode finishes on green days, a gripe about going to work, a mention of three jobs, and thanks for the week before sending listeners to the Nova Player or their usual podcast app.
