Danny Mylo and Rosie Madison found themselves on air an extra 38 minutes on Tuesday after Greg James reportedly slept through his alarm. The pair spent much of the show ribbing him about it, joking that he'd "checked his alarm clock about 15 times" and would struggle to sleep again after the embarrassment. Rosie admitted she herself had slept badly worrying about covering, saying "I did not sleep well. I checked my alarm clock about 15 times." They later pointed listeners to Greg's Instagram as "proof of life" before cheerfully admitting they'd used his extra airtime to plug their own show: "we did actually, yeah… kick a man while he's down."
The funniest moment came from Danny's own love life. He revealed his partner had come home from holiday raving about a waiter's aftershave, prompting Danny to splash out "three figures" on the same scent to impress her — only for it to leave his eyes streaming like he'd been "cutting onions." His verdict: it smells exactly like Jungle Formula mosquito repellent. His partner, apparently unbothered, simply said "it's all right."
Elsewhere, Tuesday's register brought in a trucker nicknamed "Hallichon" Jules, pizza delivery driver Phil in Bournemouth, and bin worker Leon, who gamely took on the Give Us Another One word game. The day's Team Captain crown went to Julian from Cornwall, who successfully parallel-parked a new car in the dark and rain to get to work. The Swap Exchange saw DJ decks successfully traded for a My Chemical Romance play, after eggs were firmly rejected.
