Welcome to Episode #8 - Absence makes the heart grow fonder. We're so sorry it's been so long, life happened, and we just couldn't find the time or the right moment to come back until now. But you should expect to see us more often now.
So what is Happy Distraction? Well, it's the feel-good, guilt-free, good kind of distraction, filled to the brim with trivia, games, stories and more. In today's show, your hosts, Dylan and Kirsty, chat about whether the person in the middle seat is entitled to both armrests and read some insightful responses in our Controversial Corner segment. We talk #UnlikelySequels in Hashtag Crashtag (this is one not to miss), and of course, the return of Kirsty Vs. Dylan, where we take on a gruelling Trivia challenge across four rounds, featuring questions on sport, music, film and general knowledge.

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 good old pub quiz featuring questions from various categories. Twenty-four questions are all that stand between bragging rights; who will win? Listen to find out!
We fucked up: Quick note on this, we told you the wrong scores. Sorry! Kirsty had 60 points, and Dylan actually had 52 points prior to this week's Kirsty Vs. Dylan. We knew we'd get something wrong when we came back. Please forgive us, and we'll get it right next time :)
