Ricki‑Lee & Tim

Thank you wave in traffic. Walk on the left. Click your tongs before the barbie. Let the person with two items go ahead of you at the checkout. Never use the middle urinal. Always go to bed at the same time as your partner. These are not suggestions. A Swiss woman moving to Australia needed all of this explained to her, including the fact that "bring a plate" does not mean bring an actual plate. We are a complex country.

A woman on TikTok says office air is making her ugly, comparing her 9am glow to her haggard 4pm reality. We relate. Downlights also copped a serve because whoever invented them clearly hates us. But the real bombshell came from a listener whose Botox lady told her that running destroys the fat pockets in your cheeks and she can spot a runner the second they lie down. We quit running in under two seconds and have no regrets.

Office behaviour is unhinged. One woman got fired for converting her work cubicle into a DIY sauna with four space heaters and a personal thermometer labelled "trust issues." Another bloke got fired for cooking a full breakfast on an electric fry pan at his desk. Listeners call in with their own: a colleague who takes a Bluetooth speaker into the bathroom and does full karaoke, and someone who photocopied a dog in colour and handed the printout to a child. Also: the unwritten rules of urinal etiquette got a full breakdown and nobody asked for it but here we are.

We debated the correct way to make packet noodles and Ricky's method was a lot. Listeners called in with their barista flirting stories, including one woman who kept going back every day until he finally put his number on a receipt and they've been together four years. A man in Florida sold his house in five days using only ChatGPT and made $100,000 more than his agent estimated. TSA lines in the US have gotten so long that people are now doing live entertainment to pass the time. We got into the weird things people do at work, including a woman fired for turning her cubicle into a sauna and a bloke who cooked a full fry up at his desk. And in the biggest news of the day, Ricky's husband Rich made her dinner for the very first time. We need details, we need answers, and we need to know if it was egg pizza.
