GK Barry had never lost a round of Slip It In until today, when guest Mariam Musa well and truly beat her. Mariam rang her sister Ami and squeezed the word "per" into the chat an astonishing 39 times, a new high for any guest on the show. GK then tried to match it by phoning Max Balecki and slipping in the phrase "and that's on period," but only managed 20 attempts before Max rumbled her, telling her bluntly "that was the least discreet thing I've ever experienced." GK admitted defeat on air, saying "Mariam, this is the first time I've ever lost this game."
Listen: GK Barry loses Slip It In
The afternoon's "whose first was worse" segment, built around listeners' first attempts at playing sport, threw up one genuinely jaw-dropping story. A listener called Slier described joining a gay rugby team and, mid-tournament, being told by a teammate that he'd soiled himself in the all-white kit without even realising. "It was a code brown," Slier said, with GK unable to stop laughing as she offered the deadpan advice to invest in "Imodium" next time. GK matched it with her own confession about turning out for a celebrity charity football match at West Ham despite never having played before, accidentally celebrating a missed pass and watching the clip go viral "six times."

Listeners also sent in voice notes seeking GK's agony-aunt style advice, including one asking how to cope moving back in with her mum after eight years away, with GK suggesting she "stock up on digestives" for the inevitable empty fridge.
