FULL SHOW: Better than a succulent Chinese meal
Yesterday00:54:20Tap to summarizeRicki and Tim kicked things off with the tracks that can lift your mood faster than a servo coffee and a full tank of petrol. The team also took a peek inside the insane world of celebrity riders, uncovering some of the strangest requests artists make backstage. Our very own Ricki-Lee keeps things icy with a nippy 16-degree aircon request and bottles of Veuve and Moet – ABSOLUTELY NO PROSECCO. Thomas Mitchell called in with this week’s movie and streaming picks, while Tim found himself surrounded by radio history after heading to the auction of broadcasting legend John Laws’ estate, where he tested his bidding skills and somehow walked out the proud owner of a… green marble lion. PLUS in true competitive fashion, Rick, Tim and Sarah put their brains to the test with a rapid-fire challenge, seeing just how many things they could name from a chosen category in 30 seconds - with varying levels of success panic along the way.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Full Show: We <3 Carlos Santana
2d ago00:51:04Tap to summarizeFrom Guinness taking over Sydney to Sarah discovering what “splitting the G” actually means, it was one of those shows. We met Hayden, a bloke who somehow needed two million swipes to land his first date, then took a deep dive into the dating profile that may have been holding him back. There was heated debate after a man on Instagram absolutely butchered the pronunciation of “linguini”, plus a wild story from a La La Land concert where an audience member ended up saving the show. We also unpacked a new Aussie study claiming baby brain isn't real, investigated the avalanche of Easter eggs hidden in Taylor Swift’s new Toy Story 5 song announcement, and chatted to Jason Momoa, who accidentally gave Tim the perfect excuse to never go to the gym.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

3d ago00:06:01Tap to summarizeWe caught up with Jason Momoa from the set of the new Minecraft movie in New Zealand, where he was keeping plenty of secrets under wraps. Jason chatted about his love of Lego, raising creative kids, spinning soul and funk records in his favourite underground bar, and why World Play Day is all about getting off your devices and using your imagination. Things took a turn when Tim revealed he's never actually been to a gym, only for Jason to admit he'd much rather be climbing trees, surfing and playing sport than lifting weights anyway. Safe to say Tim has now found the world's most famous excuse to never set foot in a gym.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →A Keyboard Player Got Sick Mid-Show… So They Pulled A Random Guy From The Audience
3d ago00:04:51Tap to summarizeRicki and Tim were blown away by the story of a 21-year-old audience member who saved a live performance of La La Land after a musician became ill mid-show. Not only could he sight-read the music, he was such a fan that he already knew most of the score and jumped straight in front of 2,500 people. That sparked a chat about the unexpected moments when ordinary people become heroes, including one listener who got called into her girlfriend’s netball semi-final after a few sneaky wines and somehow scored the winning goal. There was also an unexpected detour into Tim’s hatred of “Smooth” and a surprisingly passionate debate about Carlos Santana.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Full Show: Nappucinoooooo
3d ago00:55:09Tap to summarizeA story about a teenage lottery winner refusing to share his prize money with his parents opened the floodgates, including one caller who confessed he blew an entire $250,000 jackpot at the casino in a single night. Ricki and Tim also heard some of the wildest Bali stories imaginable, including a listener whose romantic villa getaway was interrupted by a rogue bat flying into the room during a very private moment. Plus science apparently has opinions on everything now, from when you should drink coffee to when you should shower and nap, leading to a heated debate over Ricki's beloved "nappuccino." And if you thought baby names couldn't get any stranger, wait until you meet the child whose actual name is Tarzan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →Science Says You’ve Probably Been Drinking Coffee At The Wrong Time
4d ago00:04:22Tap to summarizeRicki and Tim went head-to-head over the "correct" time to do everyday things after science apparently decided there are rules for coffee, showers, naps and even doctor's appointments. Ricki fought hard for morning mimosas and night showers, while Tim revealed his cat is such a little weirdo it joins him in the shower every morning. The real controversy arrived when Ricki introduced the concept of a "nappuccino", having a coffee before a quick nap so the caffeine kicks in when you wake up. Tim was so horrified by the word itself he immediately tried to ban it from the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Transcribe →How Tim Got Bali Belly For THREE YEARS!
4d ago00:03:29Tap to summarizeRicki 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 →A 33-Year-Old Called Us And Admitted He’s Never Been To A Concert
1w ago00:07:28Tap to summarizeRicki and Tim were genuinely rattled after discovering a 33-year-old listener had somehow made it through life without ever going to a concert, which opened the floodgates for everyone’s weird little “never done” confessions. Tim admitted he’s never lived in a share house because he refuses to share fridge shelves or cookware with strangers, while Ricki revealed she’s terrified of making small talk in lifts and treats Tim like her personal security guard. There were also people who’d never seen Star Wars, never travelled overseas, never mowed a lawn and somehow never eaten El Janna. Plus Tim watched Robert Smith making a toasted sandwich at the airport lounge and apparently it was the least rockstar thing he’s ever witnessed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1w ago00:06:25Tap to summarizeRicki and Tim went deep into people getting trapped in the worst possible places after a guy in the US got stranded in a restaurant bathroom with no toilet paper and started leaving one-star Google reviews begging for rescue. That somehow led to stories about being stuck in cruise ship elevators, locked in the boot of a car as a kid and stranded in a giant muddy pond for six hours during a failed four-wheel-driving adventure. Tim also admitted he got trapped in a service lift at the fish markets while trying to skip the toilet queue like a VIP. Plus Ricki revealed the terrifying moment she went driving on Fraser Island while being silently judged by dingoes from the sidelines.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
