Greg James spent part of Tuesday's show making amends for oversleeping by 38 minutes the previous Monday, after Radio 1's social media team publicly called him out and someone even brought a tomato to one of his events. To apologise, he offered to do "boring admin" for a listener called Claire, who asked him to book her pub quiz table for six. Greg proved he'd actually done it outside of work hours by reading out his late-night to-do list on air, declaring "Politely I say to you, up yours" when Jamie accused him of doing it during the show.

Ask The Nation caused one of the bigger rows of the morning when Lindsay called in asking whether it's acceptable for a partner to swap sides of the bed depending on mood. Listeners sided overwhelmingly with Lindsay, with the BBC Sounds vote landing at 90% saying it's "no way, jail" for her boyfriend Gareth's bed-hopping ways. Greg declared it "outrageous, egregious, heinous" behaviour before Lindsay revealed Gareth had agreed to stop if the nation disagreed.

Later, during Charlie and Jerry's show, the pair got dragged into an increasingly unhinged chat about sleepwear, with Jerry admitting he sleeps in "commando, T-shirt only" while Greg confessed his own preference is apparently just socks, prompting listeners to brand him "borderline psychotic" and a "serial killer level of wrong" on the texts.
