Ricki‑Lee & Tim

From Guinness taking over Sydney to Sarah discovering what “splitting the G” actually means, it was one of those shows. We met Hayden, a bloke who somehow needed two million swipes to land his first date, then took a deep dive into the dating profile that may have been holding him back. There was heated debate after a man on Instagram absolutely butchered the pronunciation of “linguini”, plus a wild story from a La La Land concert where an audience member ended up saving the show. We also unpacked a new Aussie study claiming baby brain isn't real, investigated the avalanche of Easter eggs hidden in Taylor Swift’s new Toy Story 5 song announcement, and chatted to Jason Momoa, who accidentally gave Tim the perfect excuse to never go to the gym.

We caught up with Jason Momoa from the set of the new Minecraft movie in New Zealand, where he was keeping plenty of secrets under wraps. Jason chatted about his love of Lego, raising creative kids, spinning soul and funk records in his favourite underground bar, and why World Play Day is all about getting off your devices and using your imagination. Things took a turn when Tim revealed he's never actually been to a gym, only for Jason to admit he'd much rather be climbing trees, surfing and playing sport than lifting weights anyway. Safe to say Tim has now found the world's most famous excuse to never set foot in a gym.

Ricki and Tim were blown away by the story of a 21-year-old audience member who saved a live performance of La La Land after a musician became ill mid-show. Not only could he sight-read the music, he was such a fan that he already knew most of the score and jumped straight in front of 2,500 people. That sparked a chat about the unexpected moments when ordinary people become heroes, including one listener who got called into her girlfriend’s netball semi-final after a few sneaky wines and somehow scored the winning goal. There was also an unexpected detour into Tim’s hatred of “Smooth” and a surprisingly passionate debate about Carlos Santana.

A story about a teenage lottery winner refusing to share his prize money with his parents opened the floodgates, including one caller who confessed he blew an entire $250,000 jackpot at the casino in a single night. Ricki and Tim also heard some of the wildest Bali stories imaginable, including a listener whose romantic villa getaway was interrupted by a rogue bat flying into the room during a very private moment. Plus science apparently has opinions on everything now, from when you should drink coffee to when you should shower and nap, leading to a heated debate over Ricki's beloved "nappuccino." And if you thought baby names couldn't get any stranger, wait until you meet the child whose actual name is Tarzan.

Ricki and Tim went head-to-head over the "correct" time to do everyday things after science apparently decided there are rules for coffee, showers, naps and even doctor's appointments. Ricki fought hard for morning mimosas and night showers, while Tim revealed his cat is such a little weirdo it joins him in the shower every morning. The real controversy arrived when Ricki introduced the concept of a "nappuccino", having a coffee before a quick nap so the caffeine kicks in when you wake up. Tim was so horrified by the word itself he immediately tried to ban it from the show.
