Joe Hildebrand stops by in a denim jacket to break down last night's federal budget in plain English. Everyone gets $250, except you won't get it until next year, and you've probably already lost twice that in bracket creep. The $1,000 instant tax deduction sounds great until you realise it's a deduction not a payment, so you actually get about $244. The negative gearing and capital gains tax changes are meant to help first home buyers but the government's own numbers say it will result in 35,000 fewer houses being built. What good luck. What bad luck. Also the entire budget was leaked before it was delivered, which raises questions about why journalists get locked in a room for six hours with no phones to process it.

A man going for his morning swim at Tamarama Beach had absolutely no idea he had walked straight into a Fashion Week runway show and ended up in everyone's footage doing his stretches while models walked past him. We open the phones for Sydney's best walked-in-on moments: an 11 year old walked in on her mum, someone walked in on their grandparents, and a listener in the States nearly walked into an active bank robbery with police guns drawn before realising what was happening and quietly backing away to watch from a safe distance.

Tuesday's show was unhinged from the start. Rats the size of small dogs have taken over the Westfield Bondi Junction food court and there are apparently between 500 million and one billion of them in Greater Sydney at any time. Nikki Osborne stopped by in a full greyhound dress to chat about her new roast show Bush Deep launching today on YouTube and the Nova Player. Jermaine casually revealed he has an extra bone in his body and we had follow up questions. Americans cannot say the word crayon and we went down that rabbit hole. Benedict Cumberbatch got into a fight with a cyclist which is very on brand. Today's Glossys covered the roast of Kevin Hart. Aussies called in to expose their most bludgy jobs and it got competitive. And Anthony from The Wiggles came in with his daughter Lucia to play Sing, which was an absolutely lovely moment.

Rats the size of small dogs have been filmed running through the Westfield Bondi Junction food court after construction above it shook them out of the walls. This opens up the rat stat nobody asked for: there are between 500 million and one billion rats in Greater Sydney at any given time. Nobody knows who counted them. They are chewing through car wires in underground car parks, they survived the plague, and they will absolutely outlast all of us. Sydney may need a rat czar. We are not okay.

Nikki Osborne stops by in a full greyhound dress to chat about her brand new show Bush Deep, launching today on YouTube and the Nova Player. It's a roast disguised as a chat show filmed in parks, on beaches and apparently on Larry Emdur's boat, which he described as a hut and turned out to be a three storey bunker palace. First guest is Larry Emdur and Nikki came out swinging. She also reveals that since launching the show, Prime Minister Albanese started following her on Instagram with a follow back notification, and she is absolutely going to slide into his DMs and invite him on.
