Matt and Mollie discover nothing in nature is a rectangle — except one bat’s poo

 
Matt and MollieRecap of the show on

Matt Edmondson spent a good chunk of the show convinced he'd blown Mollie King's mind with the revelation that almost nothing in nature is a rectangle, pointing out windows, laptops and BBC passes to prove his point. Mollie was distinctly unimpressed, admitting "it hasn't hit me in the same way" as Matt kept circling back to it. A listener called Liam then got in touch to say one bat droppings are naturally cube-shaped, which Matt seized on gleefully, describing the animal as "a dice making factory" and comparing the poo to "little oxo cubes popping out."

There was a proper bit of mischief around Mollie's "pre-prepared pat lunch," after she revealed a member of Chase and Status complimented her on how organised it looked in the lift. Matt and Mollie spent several minutes debating whether a Pret lunch can really be called a "pat lunch," before the innuendo got so out of hand that Mollie admitted, "I'm not completely sure that's what I'm talking about."

In Mol's Teaser, Shray from Watford won the podium with quickfire opposite song titles, only for Claire, a mobile dog groomer in Kent, to be revealed as pipping everyone by messaging in fastest. In Battle Traitors, guest Alan correctly identified Mollie as the faithful for the first time in three weeks, winning Usher's Confessions over a forfeit of Turn Down For What.

James Marriott's Burn Down the Disco was crowned Tune of the Week.
