Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Ricki and Tim investigate why Australians suddenly sound completely ridiculous when they try to sing R&B songs in their natural accent. After deciding Missy Higgins is apparently the only Australian singer who can get away with it, Ricki takes on some of the biggest R&B hits, including Usher, Beyoncé and Boyz II Men.

Ricki and Tim want to know the important stuff: how do you actually sleep? They discover some people sleep in PJs, some sleep completely nude, and one woman shares her bed with four sausage dogs, creating what sounds like the world's warmest slumber party. The callers then have to sing their answer to the tune of Sam Smith's How Do You Sleep?, leading to some very committed performances. Meanwhile, Tim reveals he sleeps in boxers with pockets, because apparently even bedtime needs storage.

We investigate what really happens when you open an aeroplane door after a long-haul flight, and the answer involves "farty bum and bed breath." Listeners reveal the wildly overrated things they can't believe everyone loves, then tell us what their pets have eaten, including some truly cursed items. We also hear some spectacular dumb-dumb moments, including a woman who walked out of a shop without her baby, before Zan Rowe drops by to play Sing! and chat about the new season of Take 5.

Zan Rowe joins Ricki and Tim to chat about the new season of Take 5, including what it's like getting huge stars like Sir Paul McCartney and Shania Twain to open up about the five songs that shaped their lives. Then things get competitive when Zan takes on Ricki in a game of Sing!, with songs from artists she's interviewed, including Missy Higgins, Paul McCartney, Lorde and the Spice Girls. Ricki also takes the opportunity to finally apologise to Zan for drunkenly screaming along to Coldplay at a concert, before revealing she later vomited in her husband's hat.

If you've ever wondered what it smells like when an aeroplane door opens after a long-haul flight, former ground crew worker Trish from Cronulla has the answer, and it's not pretty. She says the worst offenders are the Perth red-eye flights, which apparently arrive smelling like a combination of "farty bum and bed breath." Ricki and Tim investigate whether long-haul flights are just as bad, with Trish confirming that all the late-night wine, beer and beer burps definitely don't help. Tim is horrified, while Ricki presumably starts questioning every flight she's ever taken.

Tim discovers the woman behind the voice of Sydney Trains, while the Sydney Marathon finds itself at the centre of a spectacular clerical error involving the wrong Allianz Stadium. We hear some truly painful examples of people getting the fine print very, very wrong, including a travel agent who accidentally signed off an email with a rather unfortunate typo. There are also some classic parent panic stories about losing kids in public, plus Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba apparently getting into a fight.

Ricki and Tim are back talking clerical errors, and this time there are some absolute beauties. The Sydney Marathon has accidentally put a German football stadium on its finisher's medal, while a Coles pricing glitch briefly turned $100 cases of booze into a very tempting $27 bargain. Listeners then reveal their own disasters, including an electrician who accidentally registered himself as an "electrical conractor" and a mum who managed to spell her daughter's name incorrectly on her birth certificate. But nothing beats Diana, who accidentally sent two elderly customers a letter thanking them for "bonking with Focus Travel."

Tim has discovered that the voice he’s heard announcing Sydney Trains for years is not Gretel Killeen, and he is absolutely devastated. Taylor Owynns is the actual voice behind the iconic announcements and reveals she’s been doing them for around 20 years, even having to call post offices to find out how to pronounce some tricky country town names. She explains how the announcements are recorded and why her voice was perfect for stitching all those little pieces together. And, naturally, Ricki and Tim couldn't let her leave without getting her to deliver a very special train announcement for them.

Nikki Webster joins us to celebrate 25 years of Strawberry Kisses, including a very sweet full-circle moment involving her daughter. We induct some seriously committed citizens into Lazy Town, then put Tim through the wringer with Tim’s Top 5. Two myna birds cause chaos and cuteness after being spotted riding a train, before we find out who absolutely cannot follow instructions when someone says, "don't bring anything."

Nikki Webster is celebrating 25 years of Strawberry Kisses, and the nostalgia is hitting hard. She looks back on the 2000 Olympics, reveals Kylie Minogue, Tina Arena and John Farnham were some of her biggest inspirations, and talks about re-releasing the iconic song on vinyl. But the sweetest part is seeing her daughter now performing Strawberry Kisses alongside her, with Nikki admitting it was an emotional full-circle moment watching her take over. There was just one problem: the phone line was absolutely cooked, and Ricki and Tim are pretty sure Nikki wasn't hanging from the Olympic Stadium.
