Vicky caused chaos on Group Chat by claiming she invented the phrase "oomph in your pump," only for the studio team to accuse her of nicking it. She said she was thrilled to hear Mollie King using the phrase on Radio 1, taking it as proof her saying had caught on, but Charley wasn't having it. "I think you've given a bit of Alexandra Burke elephant in the room situation," Charley told her, suggesting Vicky's "umph" might not be quite as original as she thinks. Vicky asked listeners to text in with "umph" if they believed she made it up, or "pump" if they thought it already existed, and promised to chase Mollie King herself for the truth, with a verdict promised for the next show.
Listen: The oomph in your pump debate
Harry Styles' new tour documentary set off a proper debate about what listeners' own life stories would be called. Texts poured in, from Alice's eye-catching "Alice's Wonderland," about her time working on superyachts and competing in a pageant, to Donna's pasty-based pitch "Donna: The Crimping Years." Nora's choice of "The Life of a Showgirl" got a gentle telling-off from Charley over its Taylor Swift associations, prompting the suggestion she rename it "Life in Aura" instead.
Algo-Rhythm also returned, with listener Hannah's social media posts, covering Comic-Con, her dog and a beer fest, leading Vicky and Charley to land on Doja Cat's "Paint the Town Red." Hannah rated the pick 4.75 out of 5, admitting her true five-star answer would always be Taylor Swift.
