Summary

The team recaps their Mother’s Day, with Patsy admitting she saw the Billie Eilish movie twice. Listeners jump in with the films they’ve watched back‑to‑back, before 3 Word Weekend brings birthday venue fails, sweaty joggers and Christian’s full blown “meatball meltdown.”

Monday Menders returns with DIY disasters, makeshift fishing gear and the mysterious “rat hammock,” and the phones light up with callers sharing the oddest jobs they’ve ever had - from medieval educators to horse clairvoyants and supermarket spies.

Plus, brand new Misheard Lyrics and a messy round of At Work Time Wasters.
