Chris’s Bali holiday becomes harder to reach
Chris had completed another travel injection and arrived with an aching arm. His passport was still being processed and an ash cloud now threatened flights, making Bali feel less achievable every time he completed another piece of preparation.
Scott promised that riding an elephant would make the effort worthwhile. Chris suspected he would never book anywhere more adventurous than Kavos again.
Scott and Chris do not understand Game of Thrones
Kristian Nairn, who played Hodor in Game of Thrones, was the day’s Innuendo Bingo guest. Neither Scott nor Chris had watched the series, so listeners tried to prevent them wasting the visit.
Suggestions included putting Chris on Kristian’s back for a reference to House Stark. Scott repeatedly confused the title with Downton Abbey and accepted that the audience understood the guest far better than the presenters did.
Kristian discussed the extraordinary reach of Hodor despite the character’s limited vocabulary. Away from acting, he was an experienced DJ, giving him a connection with the programme that required no knowledge of Westeros.
The wettest game ever
At six feet ten inches, Kristian towered over Chris and could hold an exceptional amount of water. Scott predicted a super-soaker before the first clip played.
The prediction was correct. Material from local radio, cookery and sport sent sheets of water across the studio. A woman took “a mouthful of bean”, while another clip praised a “spunky” competitor in the older sense of brave and determined.
Kristian stayed calm as Chris absorbed the force from the opposite chair. He described the experience as “interesting”; Scott declared it the wettest game ever.
Celebrities sell personal messages
Scott had found a service allowing people to pay celebrities for personalised video greetings. The concept turned birthdays and congratulations into a small extra business for recognisable television faces.
He and Chris considered which names would provide genuine excitement and which would make the recipient ask why that particular person had been hired. A video could be intimate, funny or faintly depressing depending on how accurately the buyer understood their friend.
The next morning promised Jake Roche from Rixton using the speech jammer while calling his father, Shane Richie. After Hodor’s water, the Breakfast Show was returning to a form of discomfort that left the guest’s clothes dry.
