Lauren kicked off the show by revealing the great domestic crisis of her recent house move: her partner's insistence on keeping a box of old DVDs "in case there's an apocalypse and the Wi-Fi goes down." Lauren wasn't having it, telling listeners, "I ain't watching Gavin and Stacey while having a tin of corned beef." The phones lit up with listeners' own hoarding confessions, from Nathan in Sandwich still holding onto his nan's 1952 wedding dress to Ryan in Scotland's decade-old tins of paint.
Mollie King dropped into the Live Lounge-adjacent Red Flag Green Flag slot and laid down the law on outdoor clothes touching her bed. "If your head goes on the pillow in dirty jeans, that's divorce," she said, revealing her boyfriend Stuart now has to "bring his own towel" to sit on when he brings his laptop into the bedroom. Listeners sided firmly with Molly, voting it a green flag, though one admitted her husband's parallel rule about indoor versus outdoor socks might be pushing things too far.
Katie Thistleton was missing from the show, with Lauren and Emil Franchi stepping in to cover. They teased that John Cena will be back tomorrow to face Kids Ask with Vick Hope and Katie, including one cracking question about facing ten duck-sized John Cenas versus one John Cena-sized duck. Stella Lefty's Live Lounge covers of Boston and Taylor Swift also got a replay, alongside news that Royal Blood will close out Live Lounge Month at the end of October.
