Scott discovered why hotels wanted him to check out
Scott admitted that he had a bad hotel habit.
Once he was finished with a room, he often simply left.
He assumed that because the stay had been paid for and the hotel knew when the booking ended, physically checking out was unnecessary.
Hotel workers listening were not impressed.
A receptionist called Megan explained that the staff still needed to know a guest had definitely gone. Otherwise housekeeping could be left uncertain about whether it was safe to enter the room or whether somebody was coming back.
Scott accepted the point and promised to make more effort in future.
He also admitted that hotel key cards sometimes remained in his possession after trips, which did little to improve his case.
Matt lost his Super Like
A listener called Matt then brought the programme a modern dating emergency.
He had used his daily Tinder Super Like on somebody he particularly liked. They matched, began talking and appeared to be getting on well.
Then the app crashed.
The conversation vanished before they had exchanged phone numbers.
Scott needed Super Likes explained to him, and Chris compared the feature with pressing a golden buzzer on a television talent show: an intentionally exaggerated way of telling somebody that this was not an ordinary swipe.
One of the details Matt remembered was that they both had border collies.
Scott and Chris repeatedly misheard “collies” as “colleagues”, briefly turning a useful identifying detail into complete nonsense.
The show tried to use what Matt could remember to help reconnect them.
James investigated the lunchtime lovers
James the private investigator had a case involving two people who worked together and were using lunch breaks for an affair.
The limited time made Scott and Chris wonder how anybody managed the logistics of maintaining another relationship in the middle of a working day.
James explained that cheap hotels were among the places people used for quick meetings.
In this case he had seen the pair meeting over several days. There were photographs of them kissing, sitting together in a car and eventually going into a hotel.
James passed the evidence to his client.
She did not immediately confront her husband.
Instead, she anonymously sent a basket of muffins to his office.
There was nothing alarming about the delivery at first. It looked like a friendly communal gift, so colleagues began eating.
As the muffins disappeared, the bottom of the basket was gradually revealed.
It had been lined with a collage of James’s surveillance photographs.
The husband and the woman he had been seeing were there for the office to discover, piece by piece, underneath the food.
There was no explanatory note.
James said none was needed.
Scott compared the slow unveiling to a particularly brutal game of Catchphrase, with each removed muffin exposing another part of the picture.
“Wasssup” entered the celebrity phone book
Chris had also revived the old “Wasssup” greeting and wanted to test whether celebrities would play along if called unexpectedly.
The premise was deliberately flimsy: ring famous people, say “Wasssup” and see whether they returned it.
Some understood immediately, some sounded confused and some calls produced little more than the team laughing at the absurdity of what they were doing.
It became the sort of feature that could only grow more dangerous as Chris remembered more famous numbers in his phone.
