The big talking point on Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby's Thursday show was Jordan's now-infamous "moon landing" story – an accidental bum-bump with a stranger in his gym changing room, first told the day before and revisited after a flood of listener messages questioning whether it really happened. Chris Stark played devil's advocate, pointing out plot holes ("you would have seen shadows… bright lights in the corner") while Jordan stood firm: "Why would I purposely back into a 60-year-old man's bum?" The pair even acted out a re-enactment live on air, to producer bemusement.
The warmer moment came with actor Stephen Graham, who discussed his new book Letters To Our Sons, inspired by his Adolescence co-star Jude. Graham got visibly emotional over a surprise video message from his old drama teacher, Jerry, and told listeners vulnerability is "the strongest sense of masculinity." He also revealed he and Jason Statham reunited at Burberry's London Fashion Week show but wouldn't be drawn on a future project together.
Elsewhere, Capital Midmorning's Kemi Rogers pitched her idea for the station's Make Some Noise charity challenge – "Kemi Goes Commando," a military-style assault course stunt – prompting Jordan and Chris to quiz her, deadpan, on underwear arrangements. The trio also confirmed Friday's show will go full Oktoberfest, complete with lederhosen, an oompah band and a "Stein Time" rhyming game.
A caller named Evette won £1,050 on the Bong Game, while the Friday Cash Call jackpot was confirmed at a huge £1.25 million.
