The Google Game becomes revealing again
The opening phrase for the Google Game is “Is it cheating if…”, immediately sending Scott and Chris into celebrity lists, dreams and fancy dress. They agree that dreaming about somebody famous is harmless, until the famous person is sufficiently accessible to become a real possibility.
Chris once responded to his girlfriend admiring Ryan Gosling by choosing Pixie Lott, a name much closer to Radio 1. The actual search suggestions include kissing another person, flirting online and calling somebody sweetheart, leaving both presenters concerned by how many people apparently need the search engine to define cheating.
The deadline is placed in the diary
Listener Sam has booked a last-minute holiday to Africa while seeing somebody new. The trip may overlap with Relationship Transfer Deadline Day, the annual point after which nobody can be dumped until Christmas has passed.
The programme contacts the relevant people and settles on Friday 9 December. Anyone considering a breakup must act before then or remain together until a January reopening date still to be confirmed. Sam is asked to decide whether the relationship needs attention before she travels.
Wednesday gaps and real facts
Bamboleo Wednesday includes the one-pound fish man attempting Michael Jackson, the latest MasterChef message from Gregg Wallace and a selection of older programme gaps. Hundreds of listeners have already identified Gregg’s pork description as future Bingo material.
Alice Levine plays Real or No Real, considering payments by bitcoin and the supposed Instagram trend of filming underwater flatulence. The prepared facts are almost less revealing than the conversation they produce.
