Sam, Rubey and Brody wrap up their last Wednesday show of the year with a big one. In On This Day, the team note the moment potatoes were first introduced to England — a weirdly important day in history. Then it’s Mid-Week Confessions: Rubey spots the famous carrot man in the wild, Sam stresses about a crush coming to one of his comedy gigs soon, and Brody talks through nerves about an upcoming job interview. For Our Firsts, the trio look at the first ever pizza party in space, because astronauts apparently know how to have a good time. They also unpack the Spilt Milk lineup, debate the eternal question of what you’re meant to wear to a job interview, and all three read out the highlights (and lowlights) of their resume skill summaries. Plus — a big moment for SYN: we’ve just launched our brand new text line, so listeners can finally message the show live. They wrap the morning with one last chaotic round of The Crunch — closing out their final episode as a trio for the year.
