Danny Mylo’s autocorrect turns him into “Daddy” with his accountant

 
Matt and MollieRecap of the show on

Danny Mylo had the whole show in stitches after revealing his accountant's phone keeps autocorrecting his name from "Danny" to "Daddy" in their WhatsApp chat, and he's now too far in to correct it. He told Rosie Madison he'd let the first "Hi Daddy" slide and it's now happening every message, with Rosie pointing out "it's kind of like the text equivalent to calling someone the wrong name." Listeners piled in with their own autocorrect horror stories, including Huey in Canada whose name gets changed to "Hugey" and one texter whose phone turns "sorry" into "dirty".

Listen: The Daddy dilemma

Mylo and Rosie were standing in for Matt and Mollie, having swapped their usual Early Breakfast alarm clock for a lie-in and a train journey into work, which left them feeling unexpectedly "grown up" with their lanyards and takeaway coffees. They opened the phones to listeners' own daft "grown up" moments, with callers citing buying a butter dish and using a teapot instead of a bag.

The Five to Two Quiz saw Izzy from Devon take on the 60-second challenge, naming Halloween staples, Radio 1 presenters (including a slightly awkward mention of Matt and Mollie themselves) and playground equipment, before picking Paramore's Hard Times as her reward song.

Mylo and Rosie also took credit for booking Odeal into Thursday's Live Lounge, joking "it's us two with the clout" after a listener requested a live acoustic set.
