Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Tim discovers the woman behind the voice of Sydney Trains, while the Sydney Marathon finds itself at the centre of a spectacular clerical error involving the wrong Allianz Stadium. We hear some truly painful examples of people getting the fine print very, very wrong, including a travel agent who accidentally signed off an email with a rather unfortunate typo. There are also some classic parent panic stories about losing kids in public, plus Chris Hemsworth and Idris Elba apparently getting into a fight.

Ricki and Tim are back talking clerical errors, and this time there are some absolute beauties. The Sydney Marathon has accidentally put a German football stadium on its finisher's medal, while a Coles pricing glitch briefly turned $100 cases of booze into a very tempting $27 bargain. Listeners then reveal their own disasters, including an electrician who accidentally registered himself as an "electrical conractor" and a mum who managed to spell her daughter's name incorrectly on her birth certificate. But nothing beats Diana, who accidentally sent two elderly customers a letter thanking them for "bonking with Focus Travel."

Tim has discovered that the voice he’s heard announcing Sydney Trains for years is not Gretel Killeen, and he is absolutely devastated. Taylor Owynns is the actual voice behind the iconic announcements and reveals she’s been doing them for around 20 years, even having to call post offices to find out how to pronounce some tricky country town names. She explains how the announcements are recorded and why her voice was perfect for stitching all those little pieces together. And, naturally, Ricki and Tim couldn't let her leave without getting her to deliver a very special train announcement for them.

Nikki Webster joins us to celebrate 25 years of Strawberry Kisses, including a very sweet full-circle moment involving her daughter. We induct some seriously committed citizens into Lazy Town, then put Tim through the wringer with Tim’s Top 5. Two myna birds cause chaos and cuteness after being spotted riding a train, before we find out who absolutely cannot follow instructions when someone says, "don't bring anything."

Nikki Webster is celebrating 25 years of Strawberry Kisses, and the nostalgia is hitting hard. She looks back on the 2000 Olympics, reveals Kylie Minogue, Tina Arena and John Farnham were some of her biggest inspirations, and talks about re-releasing the iconic song on vinyl. But the sweetest part is seeing her daughter now performing Strawberry Kisses alongside her, with Nikki admitting it was an emotional full-circle moment watching her take over. There was just one problem: the phone line was absolutely cooked, and Ricki and Tim are pretty sure Nikki wasn't hanging from the Olympic Stadium.
