Friday had become the show’s new Tune of the Week obsession
The show was enjoying *Friday* by Riton and Nightcrawlers.
A listener living in a large house-share had organised everybody to shout the days of the week at exactly the right moments.
Scott and Chris loved the idea enough that they began recruiting more listeners to join in.
Nine-year-old Fern was brought on ahead of her birthday and proved perfectly capable of contributing to a dance record on national radio.
It was exactly the kind of lockdown participation the show had become good at creating: nobody needed to be in the same room to sound as though a party was happening.
Granny Tinder was not impressed by the sausage line
Lynette returned to judge another selection of men for granddaughter Zofia.
One profile included a joke about sharing a German sausage.
That was already enough for Granny Tinder to become suspicious.
The feature had established a consistent rule.
Men who tried too hard to make their biography sexual rarely survived very long once a grandmother started reading it aloud.
Scott and Chris could find a line funny.
Lynette was trying to decide whether the man was suitable for her granddaughter.
Those were very different standards.
Bamboleo Wednesday delivered the usual midweek reset
The show also reached its weekly Bamboleo moment.
By early 2021, listeners needed very little explanation.
Names were shouted.
Old clips appeared.
Chris sang along badly.
For a few minutes Wednesday became less about lockdown and more about everybody knowing the same silly thing was happening at the same time.
Rapper or Accountant was far harder than it sounded
Don’t Look It Up introduced a new category:
Rapper or Accountant.
Scott and Chris heard names and had to decide whether they belonged to recording artists or people working in finance.
The game exploited how easily a surname or stage name could fit either world.
It sounded trivial until the options arrived.
Then both presenters began doubting themselves.
The new round immediately joined Racehorse or Drag Queen and Pitbull or Shakespeare as one of the quiz’s categories built almost entirely around names being more misleading than expected.
