Danny Mylo and Rosie Madison turned Monday Motivation on its head for one morning, inviting listeners to send in their Monday moans instead of their usual positivity. Amid the grumbling, Rosie told a story about a former newsreader who spilled coffee on his trousers, took them off to dry, then forgot about the tap running in the sink. "Jogging bottoms clog up sink, sink overflows, water floods radio station," she said, revealing the only thing on hand to mop it up was a cricket bat.

The pair's daily swap exchange threw up one of its stranger offers yet. Tom from Derbyshire, known on air as "Tommy Tickle Mouse," asked for Avicii's Levels and offered his empty haulage truck in return, usually used for carrying sand and gravel. Mylo and Rosie agreed to the deal, joking about trying to squeeze a lorry into their "stock cupboard."

There was also a bit of after-the-fact admin drama when Mylo and Rosie admitted they'd booked a holiday for Friday without filling in a holiday request form with listeners, as they usually demand from truckers and "haulage hons" who message in. A listener called Leon apparently denied the request, prompting Rosie to tease Mylo with a weather forecast for his destination full of ominous rain-cloud symbols.
Elsewhere, lorry driver Taylor took on Give Us Another One, correctly dodging the words "kangaroo" and "apple" with answers like "Australian hoppy thing" and "Granny Smith." Tom the plumber and trucker Josh from Bristol were among the Monday moaners who got a shoutout, while the team captain hunt saw returning hopeful Callum make his third attempt at the crown.
