Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Tim absolutely fails at a game of Spelling Bee. Someone's in-laws did the worst thing regarding roast potatoes. A hot air balloon took out some kayakers. And Robbie Williams calls us the most 'authentic race'.

We catch up with Robbie Williams, who tells us he literally delayed his album to avoid going head-to-head with Taylor Swift… honestly, fair call. We relive his AFL Grand Final performance, where he says Aussies fully bought into his “imperial gladiator” vibe, which is exactly why he loves performing here. Off stage, he’s surprisingly chill, talking school pick-ups, family dinners, and bingeing The Real Housewives in bed. Then it gets loose as he thanks Australia for our completely cooked reality TV, calling Married At First Sight Australia the best in the world thanks to our “zero care” approach. He also gets a bit real with us, sharing the advice he wishes he knew earlier: confidence doesn’t always show up, but being brave will get you through.

The Potato Queen went viral after discovering her in-laws were serving six tiny roast potatoes for four fully grown adults at Sunday dinner and declared she's divorcing her husband over it—because everyone knows you make excess potatoes and need at least one per person, not 1.5 tiny pieces each. We asked Sydney about unforgivable acts and Tim admitted he once devoured two sausages at a BBQ that were meant for the kids before realizing his mistake, while someone called in about a friend who wipes back to front (absolutely unforgivable) and eats tomatoes instead of apples.

Two kayakers in Canberra got knocked into the water by a hot air balloon flying too low over Lake Burley Griffin, sparking a debate about whether hot air balloons are worth it. Tim's never been and thinks they're a hard no (you get lifted up real quick then sit there for three hours with five people touching shoulders doing nothing), while a hot air balloon pilot named Wayne called in to explain the kayakers were actually at the Canberra Light Up Festival where balloons are allowed to touch the water—and blamed the kayakers for paddling in front of him since balloons have no brakes or steering wheel.

Spice Girl Melanie C and Ronan Keating joined us on St. Patrick's Day and immediately got into a debate about whether they're called "slides" or "sliders" (UK says sliders, we called them idiots, Americans call them flip-flops, and Aussies call them thongs which confused everyone). Ronan revealed his breakfast radio survival trick was plunging his face in a bowl of ice water every morning at 5am because seven years of early mornings made him look 60, Melanie's touring Australia for the first time as a solo artist in November hitting the Enmore Theatre, and Ricki had a full fangirl meltdown admitting she learned every Spice Girls dance move from the Live in Istanbul concert.
