Description

I’m Thommo — a cotton farmer, truckie, and storyteller from country NSW who loves digging into what drives people. On What Makes You Tick with Thommo, I sit down with mates, locals, and everyday legends to share memories, untold stories, and honest laughs. From the early days that shaped us to the moments that keep us moving, it’s all about finding out what really makes people tick.


Whether it’s yarns about growing up, wild nights at a B&S, life on the land, or the hustle of chasing dreams, this show is raw, real, and never short of heart.


So pull up a chair, crack a cold one, and join me each week as we find out… what makes you tick?

In this episode, Thommo sits down with TikTok creator Daytime, also known off the app as Ricky, for a real and unfiltered conversation about the life experiences that shaped him. Daytime was young on a sheep farm, but his story really begins when he moves to Ararat — where life starts to change fast and the choices he makes begin shaping the man he would become. The conversation moves into one of the most serious and defining moments of his past — finding out his sister had been assaulted...

In Part One, Thommo sits down with Marko, a former professional water polo player from Serbia who packed up his life and moved to Australia — with next to no research and a whole lot of guts. Marko opens up about what life was really like growing up in Serbia — from getting the odd smack from teachers at school (which was still a thing back then), to growing up without screens or social media.

Welcome to The Ditchy Files. This is my raw, unfiltered insight into the world of TikTok — the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Ditchy Files isn’t about clout, drama, or chasing views. It’s about exposing how dark and toxic this platform can become… but also showing the other side — where people come together, speak truths, hold each other accountable, and try to bring some light back into a space that’s quickly becoming a very dark place. This series is about conversations that people ar...
