Summary

It’s a solo mission this week as Gordon Smart flies the Restless Natives flag alone while Martin “Turbo Banana” Compston is somewhere between Vegas, Greenock and Dublin. But fear not—there’s no shortage of brilliant listener stories, wild detours, and even a wee tearjerker or two.

We've a misheard lyric that may forever ruin a Nelly Furtado classic, tales of disastrous new car day and a chilling story involving a near-miss with Myra Hindley and Ian Brady.

Plus we welcome a Restless Natives rainbow baby to the world.

Don’t miss next Wednesday’s episode – it's an important one.
