What started as a throwaway comment on Matt and Mollie turned into a full-blown pronunciation saga, as Matt Edmondson insisted Mollie King has been saying "fondant" wrong for years. Mollie stood firm, telling Matt it "gives me the ick" when he leans into a French accent for the word, while Matt countered that her flat English version "makes me wince" when she's ordered it in restaurants. Listeners piled in with voice notes from self-described French speakers, and even a YouTube pronunciation expert called Julien was wheeled in to adjudicate, confirming Matt's "fondant" was closer to correct. Mollie refused to concede, telling Matt "please don't leave this room thinking you're right." The debate escalated further when Mollie secretly messaged Matt's partner Stuart Broad to get his verdict, and he backed Matt, while admitting he dislikes it when people put on a French accent for the word.

Elsewhere, the pair ran their regular Traitors-themed game with listener Sam, who correctly guessed Matt was lying about being "faithful" and should have won the chance to hear his baby's favourite song, Pitbull's Fireball. Instead, Sam was stuck listening to his least favourite track, Ann-Marie's Psycho, after misjudging who was telling the truth. Mollie also ran her regular "Mol's Teaser" memory game, with listener Danny taking gold on the podium after a lightning-fast answer, pipping Matt to the top spot yet again.
