This is a fun, high-energy challenge where Stacey and J Sbu put their lyrical memory to the test. Each presenter will pick two of their favourite songs. The game will play a snippet of the song up to the hook, then fade out. Stacey and J Sbu tried their best to keep singing confidently from memory. At a random point, the track fades back in to check if they’re still in sync with the original lyrics. The closer they are, the better their bragging rights. If you missed it live, listen in...

Boys and beer: Fake study supports the guys in our life!

2025/11/11

We came across an article which, upon fact-checking, we found not to be entirely accurate; however, it was still interesting. It read, “According to science, grabbing drinks with the boys can reduce sadness by 45%”. So, it turns out, it’s not really about the drinks, it’s about the connection. Sharing laughs, telling stories and simply being present with one another activate the brain’s reward system.
