England’s semi-final had taken over the show
England were playing Denmark that evening and almost every part of Radio 1 had become football-related.
Scott and Chris had been together since the morning and claimed they were already warmed up.
Everyone seemed to be producing their own version of Three Lions.
Gary Barlow had done one.
The One Pound Fish man had done one.
Scott decided Granny Tinder should join them.
Lynette initially refused.
Then the show persuaded her into a Three Grannies version.
For somebody who insisted she could not sing, she committed surprisingly well.
A listener wanted help with seeing two people at once
The more serious question came from a listener who was casually dating more than one person.
Nobody was officially in a relationship.
But the situation was becoming complicated.
Was it wrong to continue?
Should both people be told?
Scott and Chris handed the problem to Lynette.
Her advice was clear.
It was not automatically wrong to see more than one person while nothing had been made exclusive.
The dangerous part was secrecy.
If everyone understood the situation, nobody could later claim they had been deceived.
Lynette revealed her own romantic history
Then Granny Tinder offered a story Scott and Chris had not expected.
Before marrying her late husband, Lynette had a boyfriend in the Air Force whom she saw every other weekend.
During the week she regularly had lunch with a male colleague.
She believed the colleague fancied her.
He knew she had a boyfriend.
Everything, Lynette insisted, was completely above board.
Scott and Chris were delighted to discover that the grandmother giving modern dating advice had once managed her own version of parallel romantic attention decades before dating apps existed.
Gemma Collins re-entered the archive
Bamboleo Wednesday unearthed a forgotten Gemma Collins clip.
A customer had mentioned being on dialysis.
Gemma responded by offering to send her a free handbag with an order.
Then, after the call, Gemma announced:
“I change people’s lives.”
Scott and Chris could not believe they had missed the clip first time around.
It instantly became another show favourite.
Denmark supplied an extraordinary quiz fact
Don’t Look It Up went Danish.
One question asked whether police speed checks in Denmark were genuinely referred to as Fart Control.
Scott assumed the phrase had to be fake.
Chris correctly suspected that *fart* simply related to speed in Danish.
The claim was real.
The quiz also explored the lack of a direct equivalent of *please* in ordinary Danish usage and the enormous number of bicycles in Copenhagen.
England’s opponents had supplied far better quiz material than Scott expected.
