Jan Slam teased Radio 1’s Biggest Weekend
Scott knew information he was desperate not to reveal.
The next Jan Slam prize was the first pair of tickets to Radio 1’s Biggest Weekend 2018, and Grimmy would announce the location and some of the artists the following morning.
Scott already knew both.
He repeatedly stopped himself before accidentally saying too much.
The competition question referred back to Jade Thirlwall ripping her trousers at Big Weekend in Hull and asked which group she belonged to.
The answer, Little Mix, would put one listener in contention for tickets before the general public even knew the full event details.
Everybody knew the same school melody
The programme returned to the oddly universal classroom greeting.
Listeners from different schools all remembered teachers saying good morning and pupils replying with essentially the same sing-song pattern.
Some had to greet multiple teachers, guests and teaching assistants.
Others performed the ritual in French lessons as well.
Nobody had ever formally learned the tune.
Chris became convinced it was simply part of human DNA.
Cordale owned the flanter
Scott and Chris also played a game based on *Take Me Out*, trying to predict the cheesy questions and one-liners contestants would use.
One line stood out.
Contestant Cordale announced that he liked two things on a date: flirting and banter.
Together, that made “flanter”.
Scott and Chris called him.
Cordale confirmed that the line had been his own work and that he genuinely used the word.
He also described the nerves of descending in the famous lift and walking out while an entire line of women judged him.
“Flanter” was not an accidental television phrase.
Cordale fully owned it.
