Scott had bought a dog toilet for the garden
The latest piece of puppy equipment was a dog loo.
The device sat outside.
Teddy was supposed to use it.
Chemicals inside would then break down the waste.
Scott found the whole idea impressive enough that he wanted proof.
Would it really make poo disappear?
There was one obvious scientific method.
At least obvious to Scott.
Scott considered testing it himself
Scott suggested doing a small poo in the dog loo before allowing Teddy to use it.
The rest of the team strongly advised against this.
Scott then proposed an even worse variation.
Perhaps the loo could be set up in the corner of the Radio 1 studio so the experiment could happen at work.
Nobody supported the idea.
An Instagram poll was run instead.
Scott secretly hoped listeners would rescue him by voting no.
They did not.
The result strongly favoured him following through on the experiment at home.
“I’m NOT soiling myself at work”
The line which gave the podcast its title came from Scott rejecting the studio version.
Whatever happened with the dog loo, he was not going to defecate at work.
Chris noted that the phrase was much less reassuring once Scott had spent several minutes seriously discussing the possibility.
Granny Tinder returned
Lynette was back to inspect another set of profiles for Zofia.
Her standards remained high and her patience with sales calls, weak bios and obvious innuendo remained low.
By this point Granny Tinder had become one of the programme’s most reliable weekly characters.
Bamboleo Wednesday brought the usual chaos
The Gipsy Kings returned with listener shout-outs and callbacks.
The weekly ritual needed very little new explanation.
Listeners knew Wednesday meant a few minutes of shouting names, old clips and dancing.
In another lockdown, that predictability had become part of the appeal.
Scott became convinced The Saturdays had only four members
A separate discussion exposed a surprising gap in Scott’s pop memory.
He became convinced The Saturdays had contained only four members.
Chris knew there had been five.
Scott struggled to picture the complete line-up and kept mentally deleting one.
For somebody who had spent years working at Radio 1 while the group were active, it was an unexpectedly difficult piece of pop trivia.
