It was October 3rd — Mean Girls Day — and Emil Franchi used it as the springboard for one of the show's best natters, asking listeners when a small gesture had them convinced someone fancied them. The texts rolled in thick and fast, from "someone gave me his last slice of pizza… I was convinced he was in love with me for like a week" to a gym-goer who now can't shake his workout buddy. Franchi kept it light throughout, comparing the confusion to Celebrity Traitors paranoia: "does Liam from Little Mix have a bit of a thing for the bold men?"
Elsewhere, the Who Are We Backing feature turned into a proper feel-good moment when Vicki's voice note won the day — her rugby side Strathmore Women's were playing their first match in over a year, and Franchi promised to check in on the result tomorrow. There was also a run of gatecrashing stories after Franchi revealed he'd stumbled on a sausage dog meet-up outside the studio, prompting listeners to share tales of accidentally walking into funerals and even a stranger's wedding reception via a rave next door.
Live Lounge Month got a plug too, with Blossoms and Declan McKenna confirmed to open proceedings on Monday with Charlie and Jerry, while Weekend Breakfast Bingo saw Bryony finally land a near-full house after a blank week before.
