Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Three NSW hospitals (Tamworth, Wollongong and Royal Prince Alfred) have pigeon infestations with bird poo dripping from ceiling vents and patients catching bird lice that causes red bumps, itching, and disturbed sleep. We asked Sydney what they've caught and Kelly from Miranda admitted she got COVID from licking a window while on school duty "just being silly," while Charlie from Little Bay came back from Papua New Guinea, ate spaghetti bolognese, sat on the toilet and pulled out a 15cm live hookworm that doctors casually said "it's just a hookworm, take some chocolate."

Tim recapped the Brit Awards with Olivia Dean taking home four awards, Rosalía delivering the performance of the night with Björk, and Noel Gallagher thanking his brother Liam while accepting Songwriter of the Year saying "without them I'd just be a singer-songwriter and no one gives a s*** about singer-songwriters." There's confusion over whether Sombra's stage crasher wearing a "Sombra is a homewrecker" shirt was actually a planned stunt to promote his new single "Homewrecker" after the Brits wouldn't let him perform it, Rihanna's finally back in the studio after 10 years (we've been waiting since "Work"), and Delta Goodrem was announced as Australia's Eurovision entry with her song "Eclipse" on May 13th.

Emma Freedman brought in the iconic Golden Slipper trophy (24-karat gold, Italian marble, diamond bow, worth over $100k) ahead of the richest two-year-old race in the world at Rosehill on March 21, and admitted she once drank red wine out of it at Chris Waller's house without spilling a drop. She also revealed she has "wardrobe fairies" who send her screenshots of outfit options for the seven race days she works every weekend and they just magically appear.

A woman's been charged $400,000 for running an illegal daycare in South West Sydney, so we asked where you were left as a kid and the stories are wild. Shannon got left at a rugby stadium and spent what felt like an hour (probably 20 minutes) screaming her head off until police put her in a room, Sasha was left at the airport for three hours as an unaccompanied minor because her grandparents got the day wrong, and Rachel's parents left her in a stranger's caravan at a camping site in the 1970s so they could hit the pub and pokies.

Hilary Duff joined us ahead of her sold-out Australian Lucky Me Tour (52,000 people in the Sydney waiting room alone) revealing the hardest part is coordinating tour dates around four kids' school schedules, not the setlist, plus we asked if Guinness will be on her rider after that viral video where she thought it was Diet Coke with foam. A woman had the wildest excuse for drug possession claiming wind blew cocaine into her bag, we played Can I Have The First Line, Yvonne Sampson stopped by thanks to Kayo, New Music Friday delivered the goods, we asked where you were accidentally left as a kid, and Ricki shared her obsession with collecting points from literally everything.

Hilary Duff joined us ahead of her Australian tour (which sold out in minutes with 52,000 people in the Sydney waiting room alone) and revealed the hardest part isn't the setlist—it's figuring out tour dates around four kids' school schedules and refusing to miss important family moments. She opened up about feeling lucky with an amazing husband, beautiful life, and fans who've stuck with her since raising them as young girls, plus we asked if Guinness will be on her rider after that viral video where she thought it was Diet Coke with foam and hated it.
