Welcome to Episode #6 of Happy Distraction. The feel-good, guilt-free, good kind of distraction. In today's show, your hosts, Dylan and Kirsty, chat about a local fish and chip shop that has risen to fame after a viral TikTok song and a plethora of proceeding videos. We discuss the time when the Weight Watchers (WW) phone lines got hacked and a less than pleasant message was uploaded as a welcome message (listen to find out what that was). We also discuss a story about a lady who found $36,000 inside of a chair she purchased and returned the amount in full... whaaaat? And of course, much much more!

Top quotes from the show:
"Me dad used to be a black belt in ninjaring or something" - Dylan.
"Ooh yeah, he's also part of the Hells Angels isn't he?". - Kirsty.
"If you're listening Moneybags... FUCK OFF" - Dylan.
Hashtag Crashtag:
In #HashtagCrashtag, we scour the internet for the funniest hashtags of all time, and this time it's #LessAmbitiousMovies. This simple yet effective hashtag can change a movie with the simplest of title changes, you don't want to miss this.
Kirsty Vs. Dylan:
And... are you ready for Kirsty Vs. Dylan? The epic weekly trivia battle pitting host v host, and this week we battle it out in a game called "Ugh, I should have known that." The "easy" general knowledge game of answers you should know. In this game you can lose points for incorrect answers, will Dylan ever catch up?
Uninformed:
Uninformed is the brand new segment where we have to guess what a Movie, TV Show, book etc. is about based on the title and the front cover. We watch/read it, and then report back in the next episode to see if we got it right! So were we right? Did Kirsty guess what The girl in the house across the street from the girl in the window was? Did Dylan guess correctly about what Windfall is about? Tune in to find out. Oooh and we also choose two brand new ones for next week, you can only imagine the utter codswallop.
Controversial Corner:
In another new segment, we pose a question each week to YOU the audience. We reveal the answers to our first question 'Is the customer always right?' and we pose our second question, we're asking 'Is a Hotdog a Sandwich or a Taco?' If you want to get involved, share your answer with us on our social media channels (they are all @distracthappy) or send us a message using the contact form on our website at https://www.happydistraction.co.uk/contact
