Sam MacGregor kicked off the show still shaken from his half-term getaway, describing the moment his flight home diverted to Valencia in storms and the pilot finally broke the news. "So the plane's broken," Sam said, mimicking the pilot's blunt, laid-back announcement after a worryingly long silence from the cockpit. Danni Diston couldn't quite believe the delivery, joking it was "very Gen Z" of the pilot to drop such news so casually, before the pair turned it into a bit where they practised breaking bad news to each other, Danni's "sandwich approach" version involving fake ear measurements going down especially well.

The real talking point of the afternoon, though, was Danni's phone. She revealed her iPhone photos app had automatically created a folder titled "Beauty" containing nothing but pictures of her own face. "I cannot express enough how I haven't made this myself," Danni insisted, delighted by the algorithm's apparent crush on her. Sam checked his own phone for a matching folder and found only a photo of himself, plus one cheekily labelled "Tasty Bites" that turned out to be food pictures rather than anything more flattering. Listeners were invited to check their own phones, with one texting in to say typing "handsome" into Danni's search bar had drawn a blank.

Elsewhere, the pair marked RAYE's big Mercury Prize win for This Music May Contain Hope, replaying her tearful acceptance speech. In the Live Lounge, Odeal performed a session track "After the Club" and told Charlie he'd love a Bruno Mars collaboration, while Sam and Danni confirmed next week's Live Lounge guests include Robyn and Royal Blood.
