Carrie & Tommy

This story is so wild it almost feels unbelievable! After 14 months lost at sea, José Salvador Alvarenga had travelled from the coast of Mexico across the Pacific Ocean to the Ebon Atoll in the Marshall Islands in Oceania. Surviving on just rainwater, seabirds, raw fish and turtles, Alvarenga miraculously made a full recovery!

We also had an intense shoelace debate today! So, big stuff and small stuff xx

While we have been paying tribute to the one and only Dolly Parton, Carrie brought us some news of a secret that Dolly had left behind for the world! The catch; it’s hidden and not to be found until 2045…

Sometimes assumptions are made quickly, and generally (but not always) they're not quite accurate... today we heard of the times when they were certainly not accurate but did make for some damn good stories!

Along with the rest of the world, today we remember the legend that was Dolly Parton.

We also had some interesting stories of how the icon might have sent her spirit out into the world before she passed away.

We first heard the amazing story of a man who died while on a hike but miraculously managed to survive AND THEN we put it out to our listeners to see who else had died (and then come back to life) 😱

We’ve long heard about how frequently a lot of guys tend to think about the roman empire. Now we think we have finally figured out what could occupy women’s minds just as much!!

If you’ve been tuned in for a while, you would have heard of Tommy’s large pimple that has taken up real estate on his face for what feels like YEARS at this point! Well, he finally went to the dermatologist and unfortunately it didn’t go as smoothly as expected…

So today we had some more poo chat (you may think it's TMI, we think it's important to discuss the things that happen to our bodies!) and it sparked a little debate on what feels more comfortable... even when you have to let lose away from home 🫣

Grandparents can play so many roles in each of our lives, and so often they are pivotal in shaping who we become as people. Today, our producer Kieran, read to us a letter written to his grandad and it's safe to say that what he had to say had the whole team (and likely all our listeners) crying as he spoke. 

Consider this a love letter to all grandparents who have impacted our lives ❤️ And if you're lucky enough to have yours nearby, make sure to tell them you love them and give them a hug xxx
