We farewelled an Aussie icon with Dolly Parton on everyone’s minds, before finding out exactly what people smell when they open the doors of a plane, and why Ricki’s sleeping habits have raised some serious questions. We discovered you apparently can’t sing R&B in an Aussie accent, while Taylor Swift could be heading to Glastonbury and Ricki and Tim put their kids to the ultimate test with an “Ask Us Anything”. Plus, Saint Peter celebrates 10 years, we hear about the chaos caused by a fire in the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, and Sarah reveals what it was like interviewing Dolly.

Ricki and Tim want to know the important stuff: how do you actually sleep? They discover some people sleep in PJs, some sleep completely nude, and one woman shares her bed with four sausage dogs, creating what sounds like the world's warmest slumber party. The callers then have to sing their answer to the tune of Sam Smith's How Do You Sleep?, leading to some very committed performances. Meanwhile, Tim reveals he sleeps in boxers with pockets, because apparently even bedtime needs storage.

We investigate what really happens when you open an aeroplane door after a long-haul flight, and the answer involves "farty bum and bed breath." Listeners reveal the wildly overrated things they can't believe everyone loves, then tell us what their pets have eaten, including some truly cursed items. We also hear some spectacular dumb-dumb moments, including a woman who walked out of a shop without her baby, before Zan Rowe drops by to play Sing! and chat about the new season of Take 5.
