Tuesday's Matt and Mollie on Radio 1 turned into another instalment of their regular Matt v Mollie contest, though the biggest talking point came from an off-air dinner. Matt revealed that Mollie had confessed she dislikes the "cold side of the pillow" and even uses a hot water bottle in mild weather, saying "I don't like a cold pillow." Listeners were split, with some backing Mollie and others, including a caller who uses a cooling "chillow," firmly on Matt's side.
The pair also ran their 5 to 2 Quiz with listener Michael, a truck driver on his way to collect gym equipment, who answered rapid-fire questions on spending habits, sharing lines and his musical pick, Mumford & Sons.
Mollie plugged her recent Future Pop interview with actor-turned-singer Asher Banks, who has an EP called Bottle Up out this Friday and has supported Noah Kahan, with her new single Anything But played on air.
For Timber Tuesday, listeners shared jobs they'd finally ticked off, from clearing emails to passing a driving test.
The head-to-head games were close. In Initial Reaction, Matt edged Mollie 3-2, correctly naming Derren Brown and Lord Merrick's from initials before the tiebreak. In Battle Tracks, caller Kirsty acted as judge between rival song pitches, choosing Matt's high-energy pick over Mollie's, giving him the win and prompting good-natured grumbling from Mollie about his gloating.
