Scott had lost his phone again
The first show after the Easter weekend began with an old Scott problem.
His phone was gone.
This time the situation had not necessarily been caused by Scott leaving it in a taxi, but the effect was familiar.
He arrived using an iPad to send messages and immediately looked less comfortable.
Chris remembered earlier incidents, including the time Scott lost both his wallet and phone after the BRITs and wrote an IOU for a taxi fare on the back of a lottery ticket.
Scott insisted he had a busy week and could not function properly without an ordinary phone.
Chris enjoyed watching him try.
Leon’s toothbrush kept changing position
Listener Leon had a household mystery.
His toothbrush repeatedly appeared somewhere different from where he left it.
Most often it ended up on the edge of the bath.
Leon initially thought very little of it.
He simply moved it back and carried on using it.
Then he walked into the bathroom and discovered his three-year-old son using the toothbrush to clean his penis.
Leon told him to stop.
The child explained that this was not a new idea.
He did it regularly.
Buying another toothbrush did not solve it
Leon replaced the toothbrush.
His son found the new one too.
Leon moved it higher.
The child obtained a stool and reached it.
What had initially been a mildly confusing bathroom habit turned into an ongoing family battle over who actually owned each toothbrush.
Leon joked that the family had effectively renamed it the willy cleaner.
Friends heard the story and began reminding him of it whenever they saw him.
Scott and Chris said the only safe answer appeared to be buying toothbrushes in bulk and hiding them somewhere a determined three-year-old could not reach.
Neither presenter was going to look at a toothbrush in quite the same way again.
Love Island applications were closing
The show also reminded listeners that this was the final day to apply for the new series of Love Island.
Scott and Chris looked through the rules.
Applicants needed photographs and a video introducing themselves.
One rule particularly amused them.
Use a filter on the application video and the application could be rejected.
The programme imagined how many carefully smoothed, altered or beautified videos had already been disqualified before a producer watched the actual person speaking.
One listener had not realised the deadline was so close and said they were going to complete the form that night.
Tinder reunited people from the past
The programme also heard stories about matching on Tinder with somebody from earlier in life.
An old schoolmate, former acquaintance or person someone had once vaguely known could suddenly reappear as a dating prospect years later.
Scott found the situation much more awkward than meeting a stranger.
Both people already carried a version of the other person from the past.
The match had to overcome the memory before becoming anything new.
