London’s most rivalled view
Before seeing Suicide Squad, Scott and Chris visit a hotel rooftop bar promising “unrivalled views of London”. They reach the top to find murky weather, a plant and the top of one barely identifiable building. Listeners agree that the view is unrivalled only in its disappointment.
The failed rooftop becomes another example of ordinary things being oversold. Scott posts the evidence online, while Chris supplies his own equally unimpressive “unrivalled view” of Scott.
Everyone has eaten a cookie
Chris argues that YouTube needs a clear-out because too many pointless videos are obscuring the useful ones. Carys provides a leading candidate: a six-minute review of a discounted supermarket chocolate-chip cookie by a creator who normally discusses video games.
The reviewer explains that the cookies are large, soft, crumbly and likely to make the eater thirsty. Carys has watched all six minutes, while Scott and Chris become trapped in the absurdity of reviewing somebody else’s review. Their summary is simple: everybody has eaten a cookie and already understands how one works. Despite their complaints, they discover that the cookie review is the creator’s most successful video and hope he follows the audience into more food coverage.
Funny Business rings the wrong number
Bangers becomes tense when Scott nominates Tim Berg’s “Seek Bromance”, a song Chris says he had previously been prevented from using. Chris accuses the production team of moving one of his rejected choices into Scott’s collection, leaving the rules under suspicion.
Funny Business then returns, with each presenter calling a company whose name the other must hear without laughing. “Ride Me” produces a brisk first round. A call intended for “Amanda’s Big Baps” initially reaches a private number, but the woman who answers really is Amanda and runs the small food business. She confirms that the baps are large and filled with everything from bacon to black pudding, leaving neither Scott nor Chris sure who won.
