“I don’t trust people who eat cherry tomatoes straight from the punnet. They’re chaos.” – Scott Mills
“It’s the fridge of a single man – one beer, one egg, no hope.” – Tina Daheley
“I bought a treadmill in lockdown. It’s now a very expensive coat rack.” – Listener text
Tomato trauma & snack confessions
Scott kicked off the show with a food-based crisis after Tina Daheley admitted she’d eaten an entire punnet of cherry tomatoes before 7am. Scott was horrified: “That’s not breakfast, that’s a cry for help!” The topic snowballed as listeners sent in their weird morning snacks — everything from cold pasta to “a Babybel dipped in Marmite.”
It quickly turned into a debate over the most chaotic eating habits. One listener admitted she slices up her KitKats like toast soldiers; another swore she keeps grapes in the freezer to “feel fancy.” Scott ended the discussion declaring: “I don’t trust people who eat tomatoes raw. They’re chaos.”
The Good Morning Minute
Listeners checking in included:
-
Vicky in Colchester, stuck behind a tractor on the school run.
-
Nadia in Edinburgh, knitting Christmas jumpers for her dog.
-
Mark in Bristol, driving to Birmingham and “already over it.”
-
Kieran in Swansea, making a fry-up for the builders.
-
Elaine in Kent, celebrating 30 years at the same dental practice.
Scott summed it up: “That’s real commitment. I’ve never lasted 30 years at anything – except caffeine.”
Pause for Thought – Reverend Matt Woodcock
Matt spoke about small acts of courage, telling a moving story about a man who walked into his church after 20 years away. “He thought he wouldn’t be recognised – but he was, and he cried.” Scott called it “a reminder that tiny steps can be giant leaps.”
Quiz chaos
Martin from Preston took on the Easiest Quiz on the Radio, winning over listeners immediately with his self-deprecating humour. He confidently declared France’s capital as “Berlin” before quickly correcting himself — “I panicked!” — then made up for it by nailing every music question. He scored 39 points and became an instant fan favourite.
Fridge psychology & the Great Declutter
Mid-show, Scott introduced a new topic: what your fridge says about you. Tina described hers as “organised chaos,” while Scott said his was “like a museum of condiments.” Listeners sent photos of their shelves, and it became clear that fridge contents are a personality test.
-
Andy had six bottles of chilli sauce and “no food.”
-
Gemma had an entire drawer dedicated to cheese.
-
Derek confessed to owning a fridge with one beer, one egg, and “no hope.” Tina diagnosed him instantly: “It’s the fridge of a single man.”
The chat evolved into a national declutter movement, with people pledging to clean out their freezers “for the first time since lockdown.” One listener admitted she still had turkey dinosaurs from 2020.
00s nostalgia and treadmill shame
Scott wrapped up with a burst of 2000s nostalgia after a caller revealed she still owns a pink iPod Mini. That led to an impromptu game of “Guess the 00s hit from the intro”, with the faithful shouting out Sugababes, Busted and Natasha Bedingfield classics.
One text summed up the tone of the show perfectly: “I bought a treadmill in lockdown. It’s now a very expensive coat rack.” Scott replied: “Relatable. Mine’s a towel rail.”
