A Tinder match disappeared in under five seconds
Before Brother or Lover began, Scott introduced a possible record.
Someone he knew had matched with a man on Tinder.
A greeting arrived.
Then an apology.
Then the match vanished.
The whole relationship lasted roughly 4.2 seconds.
Scott and Chris asked listeners whether anybody had been unmatched even faster.
Several people claimed they had seen a notification, opened the app and found the match already gone.
Modern romance had apparently found a way to end before the conversation even began.
Dominic introduced Niamh
The main game returned with Dominic and Niamh.
Were they siblings?
Or a couple?
As always, everybody on the team could ask questions designed to expose the relationship without directly asking what it was.
The pair knew exactly how the game worked and tried to make their answers as ambiguous as possible.
Shared memories, familiarity and the way they spoke to each other could all be interpreted in either direction.
That was what made the feature work.
Funny Business reopened local advertising classics
The show also revisited Funny Business, the collection of local-company videos and adverts which became unintentionally entertaining.
Small businesses often produced promotional material without the polished machinery of national advertising.
That gave the clips personality — and occasionally made them much funnier than the people creating them had intended.
Scott and Chris enjoyed hearing some of the favourites again.
Pitbull or Shakespeare was a perfect Don’t Look It Up round
The quiz introduced Pitbull or Shakespeare.
A quotation was read aloud.
Scott and Chris had to decide whether it came from the works of William Shakespeare or lyrics performed by Pitbull.
The game worked because both could sound surprisingly grand when stripped of context.
Mr Worldwide’s motivational lines suddenly resembled Jacobean drama.
Shakespeare, meanwhile, occasionally sounded like something which could appear before the drop in a club record.
It was exactly the sort of category Don’t Look It Up did best: ridiculous on paper and unexpectedly difficult in practice.
