Tim's made a sweeping statement that all women named Chris are boy mums after spotting two at a winery and supermarket over the weekend—both had short hair, wore jeans and boots, one had three sons and a minivan, and when he yelled "Chris" at the second one in the supermarket she actually turned around proving his theory (or making him look like a total creep).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sydney at 6 covered Bad Bunny leaving Sydney incognito after his massive shows, we spun the Wheel for Tim's Top 5, and discovered kids are absolute disasters at homework including one who loves when teacher "does meth with us" instead of math and another visiting "vagina" instead of Virginia.

With Disney's The Lion King musical just around the corner, Ricki just came across the real meaning behind 'The Circle Of Life' and it will make you think verrrrry differently about the song. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kids are hilarious disasters when doing homework, including one who wrote "I like when she does meth with us" instead of math, another going to "vagina" instead of Virginia, a drawing of mum working a pole surrounded by money, and the best one titled "The Peanus" describing how peanuts taste good and smell like dirt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Men disguised as council workers in high-vis are wielding chainsaws and lopping paperbark trees limb by limb across Bondi in what's being called vandalism, with four trees targeted in four months and Waverley Council offering penalties up to $1 million. Neighbours are torn—some love the light and less flooding, others loved the leafy streets.. and we asked Sydney about their neighbour wars including Ricki's bamboo drama when someone poisoned her tree to create an illegal back entrance to their property.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki went off about Jessie J having to shut down pregnancy rumours after performing in a lace catsuit less than a year after her mastectomy and breast cancer treatment, saying women can have bellies without being pregnant and it's nobody's business. She opened up about her own endometriosis struggles where she'd look visibly pregnant from flare-ups and couldn't control the weight gain before surgery, explaining why commenting on women's bodies—whether about pregnancy, babies, or anything else—is off limits and how her stance on this seven years ago influenced Stellar magazine to stop asking women about baby plans entirely.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

F1 commentator Crofty joined us from a limo bus heading to Melbourne after a 14-hour Hong Kong delay, confirming all freight made it despite chaos and revealing the 2026 cars are lighter with boost mode and overtake mode. He tipped Oscar Piastri for the championship despite Ricki's conspiracy theory that McLaren sabotaged him last season, saying six drivers have a realistic shot and Oscar's one of them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Power couple Jess Rowe and Peter Overton joined us to play Quick Draw, with Pete revealing he's obsessed with the Metro (100 million people have ridden it since opening) and catches it with his dry cleaning while Jess looked at him in bewilderment. Jess loved Wuthering Heights despite the Guardian's one-star review, calling it a bizarre montage film clip with extraordinary fashion, but Pete would hate it because he only watches light rom-coms after delivering bad news all day. The best part? Jess accidentally dropped Pete's reheated tortellini all over the floor after his throat surgery because she microwaved it too long—classic crap housewife energy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sydney at 6 covered Anytime Fitness opening at the International Terminal (absolutely not), then we heard about a horse getting stuck in a septic tank in Bateman's Bay that needed the Specialist Large Animal Rescue Unit to pull it out with a digger.

We discovered Ricki has a 4.42 Wiki Feet rating after talking about Brooke Hogan turning to OnlyFans with her 4.97 score, and Tim was absolutely horrified by Ricki's wrinkly feet that she wraps around ice cups in Vegas.

Bruce Isaacs is on for What Cha Watching and trust the movie expert to give us the BEST shows to watch when the weather’s about to get reeeeeeal sh*t.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We debated feet after discovering Brooke Hogan was left out of Hulk Hogan's will and turned to OnlyFans with her 4.97 out of 5 Wiki Feet rating, which led to the revelation that Ricki (who hates her own feet and calls them disgusting) somehow has a 4.42 rating on Wiki Feet. Tim loves a good foot but was absolutely horrified by Ricki's wrinkly, fake-tanned feet that she wrapped around a cup of ice in Vegas, her low-cut toenails that bleed, and the fact that one doesn't even have a nail anymore because she cuts them so much.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A husband went viral after complaining on social media that his wife sent him to get Swiss cheese and he was overwhelmed by the options (baby Swiss, thin Swiss, aged Swiss, low fat Swiss), claiming men need their "hand held" to pick out cheese—and women absolutely slammed him for weaponised incompetence. We asked Sydney about their hopeless husbands who intentionally underperform tasks to avoid taking responsibility.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sydney at 6 covered The Age claiming Melbourne dresses better than Sydney (comparing us to LA glam while they're New York vibes), Glebe being Sydney's most radioactive suburb due to uranium and thorium in the sandstone (but it's totally safe), and the government spending $90 billion on high-speed rail between Sydney and Newcastle.

We declared Gen Z boring after discovering they're costing the alcohol industry $830 billion by not drinking, choosing silent discos over clubs, and being home by 10pm sober and in bed. Kira from Camden called in as "peak Gen Z" fully supporting the boring generation because you can go out without the hangover or the cost and wake up feeling fantastic, which honestly made us a bit jealous despite equating drinking with fun our entire lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A UK mum and her mate got locked out after a big night and the entire drunken exchange was captured on their Ring doorbell—they're yelling at the camera asking to be let in while her son keeps responding "I'm in Spain" because he's literally on holiday and can't help.

A New York woman needed a dresser assembled so she hired a handyman off TaskRabbit based on his cute profile pic, and after he left his number to come back and finish the job (a piece was missing), she texted him asking if he was single and suggested they grab a drink that night—now they're engaged. We asked Sydney about weird ways they met their partners and Hannah from Mascot revealed she moved to Uganda, went to an ultimate frisbee competition with her roommate, and met her now-husband there—they've got two kids and just moved back to Australia after seven years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We asked Sydney about their worst birthdays after Prince Andrew got arrested on his 66th (happy birthday, mate), and the stories were brutal.

Keli Holiday joined us fresh off his album launch at Rambling Rascal wearing the loudest blue pants we've ever seen and a singlet he bought at the show (because that's the rule), revealing his upcoming Metro Theatre tour on March 6 will have theatre vibes with smoky piano silhouettes instead of just a sweaty rock show.

We asked Sydney to call in with their "I swear it's true" stories that sound completely made up, and they delivered: a woman whose entire family was saved from a house fire in Balmain by Tony Abbott who ripped the bars off their windows when she was three years old, and another caller who accidentally got into someone else's car and didn't realize until a random kid in the backseat said "hello."
