Paddy McGuinness spent a good chunk of his Salford Sunday show venting about a delivery driver who demanded two separate pin codes and his passport for a parcel containing, as Paddy put it repeatedly, "two throws and a shacket." He told listeners the driver insisted on seeing his driving licence even after the packages were opened in front of him, calling the whole saga proof that "common sense has left the building." Listeners piled in with their own stories, including Jennifer in Ursula, Scotland, who was asked for ID to buy a facial hair trimmer on Amazon, and Caroline in Ross-on-Wye, who needed a physical ID to collect a parcel despite showing a digital passport copy.
Listen: Two throws and a shacket
Things got properly silly later when Paddy revealed his method for catching sticklebacks as a child: tickling their bellies underwater. Richard, painting a ceiling in Macclesfield with his wife Jane, texted in disputing that you can tickle a stickleback rather than a trout, prompting Paddy to insist, "you can tickle a stickle Richard, because I've done it."

The Weekest Link saw Sarah, watching the Texans play the Jaguars at Wembley, lose out two questions to seven against her friend Paul, who then went on to beat his own opponent in a lightning-fast round to win the Radio 2 smart speaker and exclusive Paddy Pen. Romesh Ranganathan again popped up with a mock warning about the quiz's name, joking he was "allowing" Paddy to continue despite not ruling out legal action.
