A garage seemed to employ only Steves
A listener’s story about taking a car to a garage turned into one of those tiny mysteries Scott could not leave alone. The striking detail was that mechanic after mechanic seemed to be called Steve. The show started wondering whether Steve was somehow the default name for the trade and invited listeners to report similarly suspicious workplaces.
Katy Brand came in
Katy Brand joined Scott to talk about the new series of her Big Ass Show. The conversation fitted the programme’s usual approach to guests, moving quickly between the actual promotion and the odd observations occupying the team that afternoon.
Relationship advice became increasingly unhelpful
One listener wanted advice about a girlfriend whose laugh had become impossible to ignore, with the description eventually drifting toward a seal-like noise. Scooby-Doo material and impressions of singers including Kate Nash also surfaced as the show moved between listener problems, pop-culture impressions and the continuing question of just how many mechanics called Steve could reasonably work in one place.
