I'm going to talk about band names later.
I thought when we were talking about band names, like Georgie said, there's a list of eighty nine band names have been released, I'm like, why are they releasing eighty nine band names, but the eighty nine names allowed to call your band?
Oh wow, it's about names that are banned and you're not allowed to name your kid. Oh yes, there's going to be something not allowed to read out on the radio.
I'm sure you give it a crack or you're now that to us off, Mike, I'll send you the list.
I've got to your mouthwell, making an appearance today because the I just I just want you all to tell me your shoes, so I get your shoe size ready for this?
Okay, to get ready?
I can I just tell you now, if you know it now, it'd be great.
But that's sometimes some depend on what eight and a half or nine depending on what brand.
Let me just check.
Don't give me an eight and a half in US? Ten? Are you a ten?
While we're plugging, what's going up on the show, which is now basically the entire show. I've got a very juicy story about Ricky Lee, but a very rock and roll story that.
Because he speaks in specs. Last, and now, when's it going to air?
I'm not sure. I'm not sure.
Christmas Christmas.
I have already filmed a Christmas special of a TV show three months ago. How fun TV last night was? It was a hoot. We had a great on with you. I can't tell you, but I will tell you the one per because it's that's all you know, like wait wait for the show to come out. But I was on with one person who gave me a great Rickyla story.
Okay, you're going to do that next.
I'm going to do it next.
What is it a good one or a bad one?
You're gonna love it. It made me just go, that's my girl, that is my star. Queen.
Hey tell us about last night because you have a bit of a bombshell story for us.
Bomb shell story. Yes, yeah, I filmed Spicks and Specs last night, which come it'll be coming out the next few months.
So it's back on like ABC, back on ABC and spects so much.
Yeah, I grew up watching I remember going to the live show of it in Perth when I was about twelve years old, and so it's very cool I now get to do that show.
Especially because you know nothing about music.
Well that's I think that's why they always have me on. And also you don't have.
To know anything, you just need to be funny.
I wasn't going to have you guys on on on speed dial if I needed help. But they never put me with my best mate, Mif Warhurst. They always put me on Alan Brow's team because he really does know the answer to everything. And I don't think I'm giving too much away. But also on my team last night was the gorgeous Meg.
WASHINGTONIA Award winner dead Set Legend.
Dead Set Legend. She's got some new the new season of Spicks and Specs premiere June fifteenth, so not far away, and she's got new music coming out so too. So I'm going to have a new music Friday. I was so thrilled and she told me that. I was like, text me, text me, I can get it on new Music Friday. She had no idea what I meant anyway. Question for you, RICKI Lee, how many famous people did you grow up with? Because I know you went you grew up with Amy Shah.
Yeah, I mean I went like from primary school and all through high school together friends.
I don't know vernicis no.
But I got to know them quite early on because we were coming up around the same time.
I thought so and Meg Washington.
I didn't realize, well, I did yesterday when you said when you said you were doing spicks and Specs with Mag Washington, I did mention that I had.
I know her very well.
We've worked on music together in the studio. She's an incredible artist. But my first encounter is this what you're is this what you're alluding to.
When you encountered each other at the Brisbane Lord Mayor's Christmas Carol's New Talent concerts. I had to write it.
Down, yep.
So you had to win the competition to you had to. It was like a singing competition in a shopping center, and you basically won your way to sing in the Brisbane Lord Mayor's Christmas Carols on.
Channel seven right, and Meg Washington was I. I was in the main up chair, and we're getting to know each other because we didn't really had it. We hadn't met before, and and then we realized we had a mutual connection in you Ricky and and she said, Ricky Lee beat me in the Brisbane Lord Christmas Carol's New Talent. Meg Washington came second. I said, welcome to my life, Meg. She beats me every day. And then she told me the most rock and roll thing that that you said. She said she never forgot it. Apparently you walked in with a big rack of clothes and and you said, and everyone was, they're just already in their outfit. And apparently you said, you got to have options.
Love it.
You gotta have and are your options?
You are superstar.
I do love that. Now she's just black teas and black trenches.
But I do have plenty of options.
Tim and Joel, you.
Love to talk about names on this show. It's one of our favorite areas.
Well because I just find names so interesting, and like one of our one of our friends just had a baby. And for someone that doesn't have kids, Rich has a lot of opinions on kids' names. He likes a strong name like Tim and Joel.
Oh yeah, yeah, tough man, you know what I mean.
But there are people that give their kids some real interesting names, and we we talked about that very recently, I think, with some real weird, weird ones that I'd never heard.
We had a girl coming to emergency, so it was c v I I I l y N that would be pronounced civilian. Their V I I in her name was actually Roman numerals, so that was an eight. So her name was Caitlin.
Yeah, I think I've said it before. I've encountered an absody. It'spelled A B C D absity.
Have you ever encountered We.
Had a young child in the pediatric room. It was s h I hyphen t h E A D pronounced, but they had essentially named their child godhead.
I came across this today. There's a list of eighty nine names that are banned names, not no, no, not bad band.
Names, eighty nine names that have been banned in Australia. So you're not allowed to call your kids any of these names. And so the funny thing is is like, so Shathid or as we all know as Head, he's actually on this list. You're not allowed to call your kid head, of course course not I mean.
In school.
I mean you're about to call your kid.
Official name.
Yeah, not on the birth certificate totally.
But obviously people have tried, which is why this list has to be released and there has to be laws that state that you can't call your kid these names legally because people are trying.
So names.
So the first type of baby names that are a nogo include official titles, ranks and words related to royalty and religion. So Beyonce would be in big trouble with this song because she's called her son sir, which you're not allowed to do in Australia.
In Australia, how that spelled s A I R or s U are like sir Lisavanda Pump's.
Restaurant, not like sir in the history of the world terrible service.
Yes, so you're not allowed to call your child king, Queen, Prince, Princess, Admiral, Baron Marshall, Duke Bishop.
But God, dala, Lama, devil, saint. Oh my gosh.
Kim Kardashian's in trouble as well, Queen all the time.
Yes, Queen j C. Your your Jesus Christ.
The second category of names that are banned are brand names and food themed names.
People have actually tried to do this, my son Pepperoni.
Yeah, so you're allowed to call you kid ntella, I Kia, Facebook, iMac or medi care.
Your kid.
Is even called that anymore.
I have no idea. I have so many apps that don't use anymore.
Down riches had to deal with that. Yes, so for his it's my ID. Now I think that it's still my gove and you're still going to go through something.
Remember when the Bureau of Meteorology called themself bomb or whatever calls the bomb. They came out and they said, please don't call us bomb anymore. And we're like, why the rocks it's the bomb? Yeah, and then they put it back.
Yeah, I know that was what everyone calls.
It, the Bureau.
Bureau Vieer of Meteorology.
So the third, A lot of names that are listed here are yes, band names are.
Head.
You're not allowed to call you kid that obviously, you know, do what do you want in private? Because that's what they're being you can you can you that your kids and it's your prerogative. You can't call your kid g Bang panties, singman song terrorist. I would think that that just goes without saying that.
Checks out, checks out.
The little community service we're offering here today.
Given a list, when you're pregnant or something, you have to google this.
You have nine months to work it out. Hates the Times, tip the time.
Tuesday night, I'm sitting on the couch with my twelve year old daughter and yes, we're watching Gossip Girl and eating sushi because preteen.

Sen Serena is but so lovely. And Blair is like just wants to run, are so bad but the best.
She's a bit evil, but it's like she doesn't have to because she's beautiful too, but she doesn't realize it. And then Jenny is just like this cool like you know rock chick who comes in and wants to go to fashion school.
She's Penn Bachelor's sister.
Jenny with her dark eyeliner and stuff. Yeah, get you all?

I was born a beautiful and always because God makes no mistakes, I.

So because my daughter is twelve and she can't do it like one thing. She's also on her phone on YouTube shorts. So she drove me this no fair, and it blew my mind. So it's time for a little bit of tim Mathwell, calculators out, because this is actually real. And if you're listening in the car and you're a passenger or you're a homer, you're pretending to work from home.

She did, and I still haven't heard the audio. You were both miked up.
I don't believe in you.
I have conversations just because you're a massive star and my mate.
You were both miked up.

What if? But what if it's taken a toll for it? Maybe you can't do r clock at the moment because it's all taken a toll for you.
Fourteen I think it was fourteen for me, but it really started taking a toll.
When did you start drinking? Twelve?
Dad gave me a bit of his Crown lagger yes, I used to.
I actually brought crown like as to my family and stuff because I thought I was fancy.
I thought I was so fancy.
Like eighteen eighteen.
I wasn't buying them earlier, but I was drinking sub zeros when I was sixteen.
Yeah, I was allowed. Not good kids, of course not.
But back in our day, you know, one hundred years ago, I was allowed to take a four pack of West Coast coolers to Christmas Day when I was like, and you either drink them all really fast?
What you made?
I used to make them last Yeah, yeah, obviously, Sally, and things have changed.
But as you get older, as we.
All know, all of us in here with the creaky bones and sore knees and.
My I remember it saying, oh my bones, all my bones.
I haven't had any pain. I haven't any pain yet.
Really, you can be to be studied, name them, name it.
You need to be studied because you are the best at backing up if you've had a big night. No one would ever know like you're fresh as a daisy.
I know, you know because I talk about it though last night.
True and others others turn up to the airport.
And just have a huge sleep. I reckon, I reckon my age, just I reckon thirty like thirty.
Two, Yeah, I reckon. This study is exactly on the money for me. What is so scientists? We love a good scientist doing very important work and very important studies at a university in Finland have done a study on the impacts of unhealthy vises like smoking, heavy drinking, lack of exercise and what they have on your body. They've pinpointed the exact age that drinking starts to take its toll, and this, for me is totally right. Thirty six was when I when I could not survive a hangover anymore. It just changed, everything changed, my favorite the oh yeah, it just started getting longer and longer, Like you couldn't just wake up and go for a run and feel fresh and be fine and be able to back up and have another one and be like.
Oh God, braw new way.
But fear not for all of us oldies, because another lot of scientists, another one, another one, have now created a drink that stops hangover symptoms and cuts your blood alcohol level in half in just thirty minutes.
Okay, so I thought it was a scooner would be until you said that bit.
No, I mean that that is, you know, hangover you if you can, even if you don't want to.
A nice cold schooner.
Coke from you know when you've had when you've had a couple, you feel writer's rain. So this has been called the safety shot.
This has been.
Called the safety shot, and it accelerates the alcohol in your metabolism through a blend of vitamins, minerals, and botanical ingredients.
Shut up and take my money. I want it now.
What is it?
Did you say it's a drink or it's a tablet.
It's it's it's it's it's a I think it's a it's a drink. So you drink it and in thirty minutes it cuts your blood alcohol level in half and you're good to go.
Rachel, what I did it? Kind of take itself a year?
Twenty four? Oh, I get it, I get it?
Goodness me? What was and is your your beverage of choice?
It was vodka?
Soda? O?
Yes?
Okay? And what that's it? Twenty four? That was it? You hung the boots up or something special occasion? Not sure you hang the boots up?
Clean have among the boots up?
You don't.
I'm saying I don't.
I don't have an age.
Yeah, you're still you're yet to yet.
To find it? Yes, sure, creep up with me on one day you'll.
Oh, you'll find the line one day, Sally.
Anne, Hello, what age was it for you?
Hello?
The eight for me would be when I.
First started having kids, which was.
Well, I had my first when I was nineteen and I just had my last last year.
So and do you think that's because when when you had the lack of sleep and all of that just kind of catches up and adds up. So adding in drinking and having a big night just does not make sense. It's not worth it.
Yes, So kids are a physical and mental toll on your body.
And you love them?
Yeah, really giving a hard selling Ricky.
And I who don't have them, tell me finally the age for you? Please?
I'm forty and I'm still going strong.
Tammy, meet my friend Tim. I'm tying this all together in a little bow for you because we talked about band names earlier, and we did talk about a bit of Limma Granger, a bit of the Devil's Letters. Twenty eight year old took to a Reddit to ask for help and choosing a new name for herself because she revealed her parents named her Sativa. Sat I'm the a after the cannabis strain sativa, cannabis sativa, the plant marijuana is derived from. So now as an adult, she's had trouble applying for jobs and doesn't get taken seriously because of her weedy weedy related name. So if you want to find that Reddit threat and give her some suggestions.
You know, I thought that was I didn't know what sativa is, no fativa.
Even if you don't have that connotation to marriage one. Yeah, it's actually quite a pretty name.
It's actually quite so. It says like sativa is the place I watched Roger corses the floor. Oh that was a long when I got there. Wow, what's on sativa tonight?
Guess what our next picture guests has had a decade on sativa.
Oh my gosh, you're going to lose your mind.
He's already nervous. I'm so excited.

The show, the most critical person in the world as well, so it's a huge compliment.
Now I'm feeling really embarrassed.
I know it's it's a little bit, but he really does love.
To thank you because we're saying before and I think I met once in a radio studio, used to work with Hughes and when you were doing Love My Way and you came down and did dumb and radio and you're like Melbourne. But I actually sat next to you on a plane, you and your daughter on the way back from Splendor in the Grass.
But it was the Monday morning, all three of us.
How good was that good?
Every Splendor is the best?
O you Splendor girl?

So you were a real Splendor girler as well.
I love a music festival a full stop. I used to love Home Bake. Okay, I don't think I'm very cool, but can I just tell you the foolest thing in my memory. I was in the mosh bit for Nirvana at Big Day Out.
I kid, you know. When I even want to say it, I think, am I making that up?
But I really was.
That would have been hardcore and he It's true.
I lasted about three songs so crammed that I was. You know when you get pushed sideways and you're almost and you get just picked up and then.
I got out of it.
When they were in Australia is when they actually blew up internationally and they couldn't really get out of their other days, like they couldn't get out of the dates right. So basically that it booked all these dates and they just happened to be in Australia, I believe, we never mind, just went nuts around.
The world and like, okay, we just have to play these dates in the must smell like teen spirit or.
Like marijuana.
We're going to get to who do you think You're in a second. But I have to also say Love My Way is my favorite Australian show of all time. But that scene, we won't say it for people who haven't seen it, but that scene, there's a scene, the scene dare you the scene that makes you pause the TV and walk around the land happened? I know.

How many scripts do you come across your desk every day?
And you're like yes, no, yes, well no, it's more like how many ideas do I have a day of what I would like to do? And to start developing series? So I've got a couple the moment, which I'm really excited about.
Is that something that naturally comes from being an actor or is that just a specific set of skills.
Kind ofly amnis and esque.
That you discover over the years or learn throughout learning the craft, and you watch and you observe, and you see other people do and you think, oh, I might want to give that a shot.
It's sort of like observing different dynamics, different ecosystems, and you just go, oh, I want to be that person in that ecosystem, with those relationships with those people.
I want to.
Interrogate that psychology or that type of person or that archetype.
That's where I come from. And also it's like, where's a world that.
You can focus on that's going to have its own sort of story engine that might not be a police station or a hospital.
I look for those worlds. So sometimes it's not just the character, it's it's it's where is it?
What?
What are the themes? Like Bump was the Inner West, and.
It was I Will Pass I Am.
Were you a nightmare at school?

Yes I did direct and start and write my own play.
Your Last the Boards.
Still I still break out in the hot sweat even just thinking about that moment.
Last Goodness.
It's good to fail at school, though, and then just save it for life. It was a good place to fail. All the teachers that are listening are just like, oh please.
Please, don't care about school as you're on your way home from school right now, and stop caring about it.
Not caring about it. You can be good after school. Don't worry about school now.
