6.35 – It’s really cold outside and Chris and Rachel are trying not to catch Dave and Dom’s illness. It’s the Radio 1 Christmas party tonight which will be interesting, and today Chris has got to record the voice for the speaking clock. This process confuses Dave, who thinks he’d have to record every time combination in the world ever. We talk about Chris’ friend Emily and Ross who used to go out with Rachel. Then we equate ourselves to our corresponding friends characters

8.20 – We’ve just played the Adrian Dixon record and many men have texted in to say that it describes their relationship. We wonder what it might be like for Mally to live with Rachel, and we describe our own relationship and chores etc.
