Advice, crushes, and cotton buds: Graham and Maria tackle modern dilemmas
This episode dives into sex in long-term relationships, making friends as an adult, and why you should stop putting cotton buds in your ears. Graham and Maria mix practical opinions with playful chat as they work through listener-style dilemmas, from a yoga crush to excessive spooning.
A gay adoption dilemma, group dentist trips, and a smoking-vaping debate
Gay adoption is the main focus here, as Graham and Maria weigh a dilemma about having kids for the wrong reasons. The episode also detours into a strange family dentist routine, plus their opinions on smoking, vaping, and a final dose of "cactus therapy."
Graham Norton on his TV comeback, forgotten names, and gloriously messy dilemmas
Graham Norton’s chat show return leads this episode, with talk of dream guest combinations and whether he remembers the names of people he’s interviewed for an hour. From there, Graham and Maria veer into awkward relationship dilemmas, TV obsessions, and everyday habits.
A £100 scam, a surgery dilemma, and another office romance disaster
Graham opens up about being conned into sending £100 to someone claiming they needed drama school money. He and Maria also weigh a listener’s plastic surgery dilemma and react to yet another office affair, with plenty of blunt opinions along the way.
Age-gap hookups, baby-changing etiquette, and Graham’s awkward paparazzi story
This episode dives into two hot-button dilemmas: whether a 47-year-old woman sleeping with a 21-year-old man is OK, and whether it’s acceptable to change a baby on a friend’s living room floor. It also includes Graham’s account of being photographed by paparazzi, including an especially uncomfortable funeral encounter.
