Ricki-Lee & Tim

Forget Uber driving or flogging candles online — these side hustles are next-level. There are secret hotel sleepers who get paid to stay in luxury hotels and rate the pillows, golf ball divers making six figures fishing lost balls out of ponds, and even pet food tasters earning $40K a year sampling kibble. Beauty brands pay face feelers $50 an hour just to touch skin, while professional cuddlers cash in $80 an hour for hugs. You can even test waterslides, wait in line for strangers, or be a virtual companion pulling in $2K a month. Honestly, our day jobs suddenly feel very boring.

Today’s show had everything from savage kids to savage exes. We kicked off with hilarious one-liners from kids that could roast a room better than any comedian. Then came the Kentucky ex who went full glitter-bomb on her boyfriend’s car and caused nearly $20k worth of damage. Tim’s ever-growing list of bizarre life rules made another appearance, and we dove into some truly unhinged tales from the ER including a bloke who thought AA batteries could give him energy from the inside. We also debated the wild BYO trend after a woman pulled a rotisserie chicken from her purse, and Nova legend Rosso joined us for Quick Draw.

Rosso dropped by for Quick Draw and it was pure chaos from the start. Between chatting about his new book What a Ripper, debating whether the Opera House is a “sexy building,” and reminiscing about prank-calling radio stations with star codes, the nostalgia was flowing. He claimed he hates radio games but got fiercely competitive anyway, going head-to-head with Joel. From Stack Hats to Slovenia to yelling “wank” for the win, it was one of the funniest Quick Draw battles we’ve had in ages.

Tim’s list of rules is so long it could be its own constitution. No chicken for dinner, no post-it notes, no jeans with hands in the pockets, and definitely no Birkenstocks midweek. He bans hot cross buns in public, toast in bed, and anyone turning up to work with wet hair unless it’s from laps. Food rules are brutal too — no tomatoes for dinner, no cheese with fish (unless it’s tuna or lobster mornay), and no full meals at 4:45pm. The team reckon it should be written on a scroll at this point because “Bitchy Tim’s Rules” just keep multiplying.

Kids don’t hold back, and today we proved it. From writing breakup notes in crayon to telling Santa he can’t be Santa if he was once a baby, the savage honesty was next level. Ricki shared how her daughter dropped the F-bomb in perfect context, and Blackers’ kids have whole notes apps full of zingers like “girls can’t be Santa.” Listeners called in with their own from “you look old, Mum” to “you’re so fat and cuddly.” Honestly, kids could run a roast battle and win every round.

Happy National Radio Day! On today’s show we met a 27-year-old Texan who’s never been kissed and says she’s saving her lips for marriage. Ricki got nostalgic about her own teenage pash sessions on the Gold Coast, proving this girl really is missing out. We also heard about a Disney lover who lost her wedding ring on a rollercoaster, only to find it hours later along with someone else’s. In the Glossys, Post Malone popped up on Google Maps and stripped down for a new Skims campaign, Chris Martin promised Coldplay won’t ditch the kiss cam, and Joe Jonas confessed a very awkward mile-high club story. Plus, the Minnesota Vikings cheer squad now includes two men and the internet is divided.

Happy National Radio Day to our only radio broadcaster, Blackers! (lol) And to celebrate, he plays the most epic, hilarious and grossest radio breaks to ever grace the Aussie waves!

A 27-year-old woman in Texas has gone viral after revealing she’s never been kissed and plans to save her first pash for her wedding day. We were equal parts shocked and fascinated, spiralling into a debate about the beauty of a good kiss, bad kissers who feel like “a cat’s bum,” and those teenage bus-stop make-out sessions that were basically a Gold Coast rite of passage. Listeners then jumped in with their own “never ever” confessions from never trying an olive, to never going to a concert, to never having a one-night stand. Turns out, everyone’s holding onto something.

Today’s show was chaos in the best way. We kicked off with the stat that 32% of men think they could land a plane with no training, which is both hilarious and terrifying. The VMAs have revealed their first performers and the lineup is massive. Then we got into the wild story of David Walliams and Elton John allegedly ruining a hens party in the South of France. Madonna’s birthday cake had everyone talking, and finally we wrapped with a bunch of elderly legends going viral for their cheeky pickup lines, and they’re smoother than half the blokes on Tinder.
