Ricki‑Lee & Tim

The King’s Guard surprised everyone with a very unexpected performance of Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5, before we found out which celebrities have actually written back to people who reached out to them. Callan Boys told Sydney where we should be eating, heard from a kid who couldn’t believe he was breastfed, and found out what made ordinary people accidental heroes. Plus, listeners revealed their biggest transport disasters, from dodgy U-turns to a plane having to turn around, and Leigh Sales joined Ricki and Tim to celebrate 30 years of Australian Story and take on Quick Draw.

Ricki and Tim wanted to know which celebrities have actually written back to fans, and the stories got surprisingly wholesome. One listener revealed Georgie Parker gave her some beautiful advice when she was dreaming of becoming an actress, while another scored Anderson .Paak tickets and an invite to his after-party. Plus, Eminem shared a private note Dolly Parton had sent him, and we discovered that when Dolly was in Melbourne, she chose a KFC bucket under a tree over a fancy dinner.

Leigh Sales joins Ricki and Tim to celebrate 30 years of Australian Story and reveals how much she’s been missing Dolly Parton, while Ricki discovers Leigh has interviewed almost everyone on her wish list. Then it’s time for Quick Draw, where Leigh comes out swinging and gets increasingly competitive before an absolutely chaotic final round. Tim somehow thinks his toilet habits are worth discussing on air, and Leigh walks away victorious after answering “Cluedo” before anyone else could blink.

Ricki and Tim investigate why Australians suddenly sound completely ridiculous when they try to sing R&B songs in their natural accent. After deciding Missy Higgins is apparently the only Australian singer who can get away with it, Ricki takes on some of the biggest R&B hits, including Usher, Beyoncé and Boyz II Men.

Ricki and Tim want to know the important stuff: how do you actually sleep? They discover some people sleep in PJs, some sleep completely nude, and one woman shares her bed with four sausage dogs, creating what sounds like the world's warmest slumber party. The callers then have to sing their answer to the tune of Sam Smith's How Do You Sleep?, leading to some very committed performances. Meanwhile, Tim reveals he sleeps in boxers with pockets, because apparently even bedtime needs storage.
