Plus, a Save Our Pub update with the huge news that Shannon Noll will be covering Horses, another round of What Are The Odds with some wild coincidences, and we wrap with Safe Songs for At Work Time Wasters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christian was stunned to discover his daughter didn’t know how to do a basic real‑life skill - which opened the floodgates for listeners to call in with their own must‑have lessons for the School of Real Life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pats is off sick, so Intern Pete steps up - just in time for a fresh round of Monday Winners or Losers, featuring Pete’s doomed blow‑up‑doll hunt and Rio nearly burning down his house while playing FIFA on Xbox.
