If you've ever tried to explain how to use “the cloud” to your mum, this one’s for you. This episode dives into the chaos of tech support for the elderly - rogue Smarties analogies and desktop folder disasters. With a healthy nod to the realities of ageing, generational shifts, and parental patience, we also get a joke so inappropriate it gets shouted across a café. Throw in mouse-pranking IT mates and a lesson in remote-control sabotage, and you’ve got one hell of a support ticket.
