If you go in wanting the film to litigate Michael's guilt or innocence you will struggle, but if you go in for the music and the story you will be emotional and overwhelmed.

Thursday's show covered the viral video of a dad walking down the aisle alone at his daughter's wedding without her, which opened the phones for unexpected wedding moments. Callan Boys stopped by with his top Sydney local eats picks, and we got into the new trend of friend funds among mates. And Hughesy came in to chat about his Cooked show at Sydney Comedy Fest before playing Quick Draw, which went exactly as you would expect from Hughesy.

A 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.

Friend funds are a thing now, where friendship groups pool money to cover socialising costs. But does that not just sound like splitting the bill with extra steps? We get into the real drama: people who itemise exactly what they had, latecomers who dodge the entree split, and the classic T-Rex hands move where someone's arms mysteriously get too short to reach the bill whenever it arrives. Also a genuine disagreement: if you invite people to your birthday dinner, should you pay or should they?
