Scott and the team work through a fresh batch of Flirt Divert messages, featuring an angry woman whose clothes have gone missing and a confusing domestic dispute involving a dog and a mysterious caller named Monica.
The show opens with a reminder about the Flirt Divert number (0777 075 6408) and how listeners have been distributing it in bars and clubs as a fake contact number. Scott and the team play back recent messages left on the line, sifting through hundreds of voicemails to find the standout calls.
The first featured message is from a woman with particularly colourful language, who’s apparently been abandoned by a bloke who’s made off with all her clothes. Scott finds her directness amusing and notes she’s among the “classiest” callers they’ve had.
Another message proves more baffling: a woman leaves a voicemail that seems to involve an apology about something she wasn’t doing with a dog the previous night. The team speculates about what might actually have happened — possibilities range from an innocent walk gone misunderstood, to someone feeding the dog pesto chicken (which one of them mentions as a real anecdote involving vomit), to someone dressing the dog in silly clothes. The gender of the caller becomes unclear as they listen further.
A final call comes from someone called Monica, who leaves a rambling message about meeting up. Scott’s uncertain whether Monica is actually a woman and appeals to listeners: if anyone handed out the Flirt Divert number to someone named Gerald that weekend, he wants them to get in touch via text (8-1-9) so they can find out more about this mysterious caller.
The episode taps into the show’s established humour around both the Flirt Divert feature and past pranks involving Jo Whiley, though the Jo Whiley material itself remains unclear in the available transcript.
