Friday's show wrapped the week in style. Spotify turned 20 and our first songs ever played said everything about us. Motorbike riders are being caught doing absolutely reckless speeds through the M5 tunnel and Sydney is not happy. New Music Friday delivered as always. A 109 year old letter in a bottle was found which is an incredible story. There is apparently a laziest person in the world competition being held and we have questions about how you even enter. Sarah and Tim's kids are obsessed with the exact same thing which is either a coincidence or a sign. Reuben from Peking Duk stopped by for a chat. Delta Goodrem made it through to the Eurovision final in Vienna wearing a gown made by Sydney designer Nikki Villani who spent 500 hours and 7,000 Swarovski crystals making it happen. And a fan mistook Ricki for Paulini which was deeply awkward for everyone involved.

Delta Goodrem made it through to the Eurovision final in Vienna and the woman who made it happen is Sydney designer Nicky Velani from Five Dock, who spent 500 hours hand-crafting Delta's gown featuring 7,000 Swarovski crystals. We caught up with Nicky watching from home and she had literally just stopped crying. An absolute pinch me moment for a very deserving talent. We love you, Nikki.

Spotify celebrated its 20th anniversary and you can now deep dive your entire listening history. We go around the room: Ricki joined in March 2012 after Spotify came to her record label and basically begged artists to get on board, Tim joined in 2014 when his daughter was under one, and Sarah joined in 2020 which we did not see coming.

Thursday's show delivered. Callan Boys stopped by with his weekly Sydney eats picks. A mum accidentally gifted a seven year old a pair of women's cheeky undies for his birthday after forgetting to take them out of the present bag, which opened the phones for everyone's most mortifying moments. Exercise snacking is the new fitness trend where you do short bursts of movement throughout the day instead of one long workout, and we discussed whether that counts. A woman caught her cheating husband via their smart bathroom scale which recorded a mystery 120 pound weigh-in at 12.25am while she was away, and Sydney called in with their own caught out stories. And Tom Gleeson came in to play Quick Draw and was exactly as ruthless as you would expect.

A woman discovered her husband was cheating by checking the memory on their digital bathroom scale, which recorded two unassigned weigh-ins at 120 pounds at 12.25am and 12.26am while she was away. We open the phones for how people caught others out: Ricki got busted secret eating a sausage roll in the rain by Rich who had gone to buy her a sausage roll as a reward for running in the rain, Sarah's son was faking toilet training by dribbling water from a cup into the toilet to get the lollipop, a listener's housemate had been stealing her entire wardrobe, and someone dumped illegal rubbish next to a bin with their name, address and phone number still on the stickers. Criminal masterminds, every one of them

A mum accidentally gave a seven year old boy a monster truck and a pair of women's cheeky undies for his birthday after forgetting to take them out of the present bag before wrapping. We open the phones for Sydney's most mortifying moments: a retail worker asked a very fit woman when her baby was due and she was not pregnant, and a dad pulled over on the way home from a nightclub to offer a lift to the boy his daughter had been crushing on for weeks, then got in the van and told him everything. The boy was right there. There was nowhere to go. There was nothing to do but sit there and cop it.

Wednesday's show had a lot going on. We asked Sydney what their favourite Aussie saying is now that nobody says G'day anymore. We played Whisper Challenge with Jermaine. Bruce Isaacs stopped by with his Watcha Watching picks. A man is suing a hotel because sun loungers weren't available which is a level of audacity we respect. Joe Hildebrand decoded the federal budget in plain English and the short version is everyone gets $250 but not yet and it's already been spent on bracket creep. Raye's new album hit over one billion streams in today's Glossys. A listener from Blacktown shared her workplace ghost story which opened the floodgates and Sydney had a lot of haunted experiences to share. And Ricki discovered sandal socks are a major fashion trend in Japan and we have thoughts.

Joe Hildebrand stops by in a denim jacket to break down last night's federal budget in plain English. Everyone gets $250, except you won't get it until next year, and you've probably already lost twice that in bracket creep. The $1,000 instant tax deduction sounds great until you realise it's a deduction not a payment, so you actually get about $244. The negative gearing and capital gains tax changes are meant to help first home buyers but the government's own numbers say it will result in 35,000 fewer houses being built. What good luck. What bad luck. Also the entire budget was leaked before it was delivered, which raises questions about why journalists get locked in a room for six hours with no phones to process it.

A man going for his morning swim at Tamarama Beach had absolutely no idea he had walked straight into a Fashion Week runway show and ended up in everyone's footage doing his stretches while models walked past him. We open the phones for Sydney's best walked-in-on moments: an 11 year old walked in on her mum, someone walked in on their grandparents, and a listener in the States nearly walked into an active bank robbery with police guns drawn before realising what was happening and quietly backing away to watch from a safe distance.

Tuesday's show was unhinged from the start. Rats the size of small dogs have taken over the Westfield Bondi Junction food court and there are apparently between 500 million and one billion of them in Greater Sydney at any time. Nikki Osborne stopped by in a full greyhound dress to chat about her new roast show Bush Deep launching today on YouTube and the Nova Player. Jermaine casually revealed he has an extra bone in his body and we had follow up questions. Americans cannot say the word crayon and we went down that rabbit hole. Benedict Cumberbatch got into a fight with a cyclist which is very on brand. Today's Glossys covered the roast of Kevin Hart. Aussies called in to expose their most bludgy jobs and it got competitive. And Anthony from The Wiggles came in with his daughter Lucia to play Sing, which was an absolutely lovely moment.
