Scott and the team hit the streets with a silly new game testing whether various excuses actually get you to the front of a supermarket queue, with increasingly absurd results.
The show kicks off with “Pushing In Front of the Queue,” a street game where team members attempt to jump queues at real supermarkets using different excuses. Laura leads things off claiming she has severe diarrhea—it works brilliantly, and she manages to get through a queue of about fifteen people without resistance. Her second attempt, claiming bad athlete’s foot, doesn’t fare as well. When Scott tries to use the fact that he’s “Danny Howard from Radio 1” as his excuse, it fails initially, but he then jumps in front of a different person who says yes, bypassing the woman who rejected him first. Laura’s attempt claiming she’s a lesbian produces mixed results—it doesn’t work on her first target, but does work on another person in the queue. The segment ends with Laura nearly running into a celebrity (possibly Vanessa Feltz) near the exit.
The second half features Scott discussing his recent running injury—his nipples have been bleeding from friction during a rainy jog—leading to a long tangent about organic chicken guilt. He then enthusiastically promotes the “Fish Pen,” a novelty item that’s supposedly a pen that transforms into a fishing rod, complete with exaggerated infomercial-style testimonials. A caller named Vicky joins to commiserate about organic chicken guilt.
The show wraps with segments on film reviews (Laura particularly hated “P.S. I Love You”), a caller complaining about Laura being heartless, and listener feedback.
