Full Show | Receding-Lee!

Mon, 09 Feb 2026

We spun the Wheel for our first ever Emoji Game on breakfast, then Ricki recapped the best auditions from last night's Australian Idol because the talent is unreal. Seattle Seahawks punter Michael Dickson showed Sydney some serious love at the Super Bowl, proving Aussies are everywhere. Daily Telegraph's Joe Hildebrand broke down the Sydney protest chaos and called Prime Minister Albo live on air (spoiler: voicemail). Kim K and Lewis Hamilton hard launched their relationship courtside at the Super Bowl with all the PDA, plus we revealed which Sydney suburbs have the most singles ahead of Valentine's Day—Woollahra for ladies, Lakemba has 304 blokes for every 100 women. Ricki revealed she was almost an Aussie Diamond before choosing singing, then a hairdresser expressed concern about her receding hairline on air (the audacity). There's a toilet scandal at the brand new Fish Market with only 12 female toilets causing chaos, and we played our first game of Sing! with Sarah Harris.

Joe Hildebrand Calls The PM Directly On-Air!

Mon, 09 Feb 2026

Daily Telegraph's Joe Hildebrand broke down yesterday's Sydney chaos when thousands of pro-Palestine protesters defied a court ban and marched anyway, claiming they were "just going for a walk." Israeli President Isaac Herzog was here for a state visit (not Netanyahu because Albo won't talk to him), snipers were on rooftops, and Joe explained Herzog just cuts ribbons while Netanyahu runs the show. Then Joe revealed he's devastated he didn't get invited to Albo's wedding despite thinking they're besties, so we made him call the Prime Minister live on air.

Full Show | Our Very First Breakfast Show (How'd We Do?)

Sun, 08 Feb 2026

We officially launched the Ricki-Lee & Tim breakfast show on Nova 96.9 and honestly, we're still processing it. Tim laid down his rules for the show including his unhinged take on the sock-shoe situation—if you go sock shoe, sock shoe instead of sock sock, shoe shoe, he thinks you're nuts (and also don't buy chicken, apparently). Prime Minister Albo called in to wish us luck, confirmed Pauline Hanson will never be PM, roasted David Littleproud for looking like a hostage, and revealed his Valentine's Day plans. We dove into Glossy's breaking down all the Taylor Swift easter eggs hidden in her Opalite video because of course we did. Spun the Wheel for our first breakfast game—the Whisper Challenge—and now we're asking you: how do you reckon we went?

Albo's Advice For Us, Reveals Valentine's Day Plans

Sun, 08 Feb 2026

We kicked off the breakfast show by chatting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who reassured us "you'll be fine" about the new gig. Sarah Harris jumped straight in asking if we'll ever see Pauline Hanson as PM... Albo's response was a hard no, adding "I don't think Pauline Hanson is the answer to anything." He also dropped an absolute gem saying David Littleproud "looks like a hostage," which had us in stitches. Ricki brought up the government's new women's health package covering contraceptives and endometriosis clinics, and Albo revealed his Valentine's Day plans because apparently running the country doesn't mean you skip romance.
