It’s our final show of the year and we went out swinging. We kicked things off with a study claiming the big bellied boyyzz are the real heartthrobs and honestly, the confidence was through the roof. Then Bieber went full nostalgia and returned to the bowling alley from his Baby video which sent us all straight back to 2010. We wrapped the year with a massive 2025 quiz that proved our memories are cooked but hilarious. And just when you thought the world had run out of chaos, the US State Department decided fonts were the hill to die on. Times New Roman is apparently back in style and honestly, sure. What a way to finish the year, betch.

2025 on the Ricki Lee, Tim and Joel Show was absolute chaos in the best way. The Win Page was your religion and the Big Wednesday Wheel got new games that somehow stuck harder than Name Em ever did. We pulled massive guests, bigger stories and even bigger jingles that haunted us for months. Nova’s Red Room Global Tour took us from New Zealand with Gracie Abrams to criss crossing America, including that one show we literally did from a car. Ricki hit the big 4 0, Tim did his Arias host strut and Joel spent most of the year defending Girlfriend’s honour like a proud guard dog in sequins. And we wrapped it all up with Nicola belting us into the new year.

Someone tried to spice up Christmas by ditching bonbons and handing out Amazon mystery parcels full of socks, cat toys and one very rogue bark control device. We got into Melbourne officially becoming the vinyl capital of the world with more record stores than hipsters can handle. Things got spicy when a husband called out his wife for never flushing and the internet absolutely tore him apart. The Met Gala co-chairs for 2026 dropped and Beyoncé is finally returning after ten long years. Plus a wild round of Quick Draw between Joel and Ricki to wrap it all up, betch.

A woman has kicked off a full Christmas debate after swapping out traditional bonbon gifts for Amazon Returns Mystery Parcels. Instead of paper crowns and dad jokes, her guests unwrapped stuff like Christmas socks, vacuum storage bags, a bark-control device and even a random cat toy. Some thought it was genius, others reckoned it was absolute rubbish. It sparked a huge chat about re-gifting and whether it's creative or just plain dodgy, especially when people start accidentally re-gifting the exact present they were given years earlier.

The show kicked off with a Texas wedding where the groom had to literally step up for the kiss thanks to a sneaky step stool reveal. Then we got into the bartenders quietly judging all of us and honestly, fair enough. Rolling Stone dropped its huge list of the best Aussie and Kiwi tracks since 2001 and the top ten was a monster. The Glossy’s went feral with Sombr belting tunes from a scissor lift and Gaga shutting down a stage crasher in Brisbane. Plus, Tim’s chat with Yungblud, a wild new Sprite Zero sleep hack from the NFL world, and the latest spicy searches people have been typing into P*rnHub.
