An Apple Pay misunderstanding
Listener Jess asks to use Apple Pay in a corner shop. The assistant disappears and returns with a frozen apple pie, scans it and puts it in the bag. Jess accepts the purchase rather than explain the misunderstanding.
The story arrives as Scott asks listeners to keep sending material from their lives, but with one condition: it has to be true. He suspects some people are inventing increasingly elaborate incidents simply to appear on the programme.
Chloe’s friends come from everywhere
Chloe says she was speaking to somebody she wanted to avoid and pretended to be spending the evening with international friends. When the caller asked to speak to them, Chloe passed the phone around an imaginary party and performed a series of accents herself.
Scott questions how many characters she created and whether the story can possibly be genuine. A quick poll of the production team produces no believers. Chloe insists that it happened and signs off with more voices, but Scott remains convinced that the “international friends” are another invention.
The Google game reveals too much
With Chris away, Matt Fincham joins Scott for the autocomplete game. The pair must guess the most common endings to searches beginning “Help, I accidentally…” and “How do I get rid of…”. Their guesses reveal more about them than the internet.
Matt remembers locking his mother inside his alarmed house, prompting the police to investigate, and once asking a woman when her baby was due when she was not pregnant. Scott recalls licking what he thought was fallen ice cream from his arm in Tenby, only to discover it was bird mess. Neither scores a point, and the real autocomplete suggestions, including accidentally building a shelf and wanting to remove Windows 10, are stranger than anything they proposed.
