Forget leg day, it was Fingers Day
Scott and Chris covered Breakfast again and decided the gym had neglected an important body part.
People talked about leg day, arm day and chest day.
Nobody talked about finger day.
That changed immediately.
Listeners were guided through an elaborate hand workout involving stretching, flexing and moving each finger independently. The programme treated the exercise with the seriousness of a major fitness event, complete with warm-up and recovery.
Rob Sully tested fake gym moves
Performance coach Rob Sully joined to decide whether increasingly ridiculous-sounding exercises were genuine.
The Turkish get-up and reverse hyper donkey kick were real.
The “Glaswegian tackle” was not.
Rob was so distracted by the conversation that he managed to miss a train while speaking to the programme, adding an unintended practical cost to the game.
Harry and Meghan’s engagement dominated the morning
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had announced their engagement the previous day.
Scott was fascinated by the detail that the proposal had happened while they were cooking roast chicken.
He also became confused by royal naming conventions after learning that Harry’s given name was Henry and Meghan’s first name was Rachel.
The discussion eventually reached the possibility that she could technically be styled using Harry’s name, leading Scott and Chris into increasingly uncertain attempts to understand whether “Princess Henry” was a thing.
EastEnders had already managed to insert a topical reference to the engagement, prompting the pair to wonder how quickly the scene had been made.
