Matt’s uncanny talent for eyeballing exact gram weights of raw dog food steals the show

 
Matt and MollieRecap of the show on

Matt and Mollie's Monday got off to a surreal start when Matt revealed his party trick: slicing his dog's raw meat sausage into the exact right portion every single time, purely by eye. "Every single time, it's not measured, I'm eyeballing it," he boasted, before admitting he'd never attempted a smaller 70g cut before – and nailed that too. Mollie was suitably impressed, inviting him to prove it live with a knife and scales next time he's round at hers. Listeners piled in with their own oddly specific skills, from a cheese counter worker who can still cut 114g blocks by eye to someone who logged ice cream scoops to the gram at the cinema.

The pair's usual Monday quiz, Don't Match Matt, produced its share of giggles, with contestants getting knocked out for daring to say "Labrador" or "coffee," while listener Dave sparked a debate over whether "What Makes You Beautiful" counts as a Harry Styles song.

The real drama came in the listener song battle, where Mollie and Matt each pitched a track blind to Kate from the chat, who picked Mollie's choice over Matt's. Listeners immediately cried foul, pointing out Kate's known love of The Saturdays, prompting Matt to joke there was clearly "some bias there."

Elsewhere, the duo previewed Wednesday's Live Lounge with Nothing But Thieves, joining Charlie and Jerry, and crowned Frankie's "Bad Taste" their new Tune of the Week.
