Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Ricki 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.

Ricki 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.

NSW Premier Chris Minns joined Ricki and Tim fresh off the Blues’ huge Origin comeback and somehow ended up chatting drone disasters, abandoned Lime bikes and personalised number plates. Then the team unpacked the story of a pilot who missed the birth of his daughter and found out while sitting in the cockpit, which led to a very confident discussion about the fact that half of all men apparently think they could land a plane themselves. Spoiler: Tim absolutely believes he could. Plus Channel 9 reporter Taylor Haynes dropped by after her viral crab attack and revealed she’s now on steroids because the crab did THAT much damage to her finger. Oh, and after discovering there’s a sports star with the exact same name as Tim, the phones exploded with listeners who share names with celebrities.

Taylor Haynes dropped by for Quick Draw and gave Ricki and Tim a genuinely cooked update on the crab attack that’s still haunting her weeks later. Turns out the crab did so much nerve damage she’s now on steroids to avoid surgery, which naturally led to Tim accusing her of getting “jacked” from seafood. Taylor also revealed the crab cost $2,500, had tiny zip-tie handcuffs on and absolutely refused to let go while she tried to keep smiling live on TV. Then Quick Draw kicked off and somehow included the category “name a seafood dish starting with C,” which felt deeply personal.

Fresh off the Blues’ insane comeback win, NSW Premier Chris Minns joined Ricki and Tim to relive the chaos of Origin night, including Ricki smugly going to bed at halftime thinking Queensland had it locked up. Chris admitted even he thought things were looking grim before NSW pulled off one of the biggest comebacks in Origin history. They also got into the Vivid drone disaster, with Chris revealing his mates have been relentlessly blaming him for the drones falling out of the sky into Darling Harbour. Plus e-bikes, abandoned Lime bikes everywhere and Tim pitching the Premier on personalised number plates… specifically “LIME 69.”

Dazza from Wetherill Park called in needing help proposing to his girlfriend, so naturally Ricki and Tim got fully invested in the romance and chaos of it all. They also went searching for Nova’s oldest listener, which turned surprisingly competitive once the over-60s started flooding the phones. Bruce Isaacs dropped by with this week’s movie and streaming picks, while Tim unpacked the genuinely brutal moment a famous cricketer once told him to “F off” as a kid trying to collect autographs. Plus ChatGPT can apparently judge facial symmetry now, and after putting Tim’s face through the AI machine, things got very savage very quickly.

After hearing Russell Crowe aggressively managing fans in Paris, Ricki and Tim started chatting about celebrity autographs and the famous people they’ve met over the years. Tim revealed a childhood cricket hero once swore at him while he was innocently collecting signatures at the SCG, which honestly still sounds traumatic. Meanwhile Ricki admitted she used to lurk outside Broncos games like a tiny celebrity stalker and even has fans with her signature tattooed on their bodies. Plus there were stories involving John Farnham signing cassettes at nightclubs, Mark Wahlberg autograph ambushes and Tim getting paid cash in yellow envelopes for fake DJing at Crown.

Ricki and Tim went on a mission to find their oldest listener after discovering Aussies are apparently living forever, and things escalated VERY quickly. What started with a confident 56-year-old turned into a full-on age battle featuring country music lovers, social housing queens and Cheryl proudly yelling “69!” like she’d just won the Olympics. Tim also got way too philosophical about being halfway through life already, which really killed the vibe for a second there. But just when everyone thought Cheryl had it locked up… 71-year-old Debra swooped in right at the death.

Ricki and Tim unpacked Britney Spears trying to charm police with promises of lasagna and pool time, which somehow spiralled into everyone revealing the meals they’d use to get out of trouble. Then things got absolutely cooked with the Enhanced Games, where super-jacked athletes were expected to smash world records but mostly just made everyone argue online. Tim also suffered a devastating personal attack after confidently singing a Justin Bieber lyric wrong for years, only for Jermaine to completely kill the mood by correcting him. Plus, a paraglider survived getting HIT BY A PLANE, leading to a chat about the random things people swear by.

Ricki and Tim got fully sucked into the Enhanced Games, aka the Olympics but everyone’s absolutely JUICED. Tim was obsessed with giant deadlifters throwing around half a tonne like it was a Woolies bag, while Ricki tried to process the fact that one of the biggest names in the comp came dead last… in a four-person race. They also discovered most of the “world record failures” were losing by literal fractions of a second, which somehow made the whole thing even more dramatic. By the end, Tim was ready to launch a Normal People Olympics where he and Ricki avoid swimming purely because washing hair afterwards is too annoying.
