Summary

Jason Manford and Steve Edge are back this Sunday on Absolute Radio, and they’ve brought chaos, curiosity, and questionable theories with them.

This week, the lads take it upon themselves to officially declare the end of summer (because obviously, that’s their job now). Jason’s got a wild theory about Jon Richardson that absolutely cannot wait, and Steve checks in from his recent stay in a pod hotel. Plus, there’s a conker crisis spreading across the UK.

Also Bin Chat is back featuring a mysterious unclaimed bin that’s raising more questions than answers. And of course, your finest trivia gets the spotlight in Hit Me With Your Best Facts. There’s even one fact that’ll make you never look at roadworks the same way again.

You can get involved with next week's show by emailing Jason@AbsoluteRadio.co.uk
