X Factor Rhymes!

About this show

Kev and Nixxi started by discussing Mustang passing his exams and being qualified to teach adults, despite the pair claiming that most of what he had taught them so far was completely useless. Kev then played Nixxi and the listeners a mystery sound and asked everyone to work out what on earth it was before the show moved into Return of the Track with Minimalistics’ Close Cover.

SmeggHeads brought Simon back with another five questions, including human hair follicles, cows’ stomachs and J. K. Rowling. Later, Desiree’s Life inspired Kev to rewrite the famous rhymes for the X Factor era, including a dig at Louis Walsh and Rylan, before listeners were given a couple of minutes to send in their own ridiculous verses.

Siri also received a thorough road test. Kev demonstrated how much slower it was in real life than in Apple adverts, asked it for jokes and football scores, accidentally woke himself at 5am with an alarm, and then dictated a particularly unhelpful text to Nixxi asking whether she had put weight on. With both birthdays approaching, the pair argued over presents before Kev finally handed Nixxi a mystery CD and made her choose a track from it live on air.

Nixxi won SmeggHeads, with the final verdict congratulating her on the result.
