Australia somehow missed out on a global ranking of countries with the world's most handsome men, so naturally Ricki and Tim launched an investigation into Sydney's version of Spain. Listeners called in with everything from Bondi Beach to Cronulla, Icebergs and even a supermarket, as the team tried to work out exactly where the city's hottest blokes are hiding. Along the way, Tim copped some brutal feedback about his beloved Inner West, Ricki revealed the specific Coles aisle where she once lingered a little too long, and one caller delivered an answer so delightfully random it completely derailed the conversation. A very serious public service for Sydney, obviously.

Tim attempted to sing Lady Gaga and produced a note so spectacularly bad it may never recover, while Harry Kewell dropped in and declared Daddy Cool’s Eagle Rock the greatest song ever made.

Plus, Robbie Williams revealed his strange sporting superstition, and we unpacked why women are suddenly flocking to ice hockey in huge numbers.

Plus, Sarah Harris shared a surprisingly sweet fact about motherhood, and Tim relived the schoolyard accident that left him with a wrist bent in all the wrong directions.
