I haven't steeled myself enough to watch the latest journal yet, but my gut feeling is that Slosh would be saying about cutting the anchor or whatever in the same way that a bloke would ask a woman for her number and when she declines he says "well I don't want it anyway, you're weird, I only asked for a joke". Like trying to pretend that if she hadn't got another job and left they'd have given her the boot before much longer.
Imagine Jo on her first day in her new job, all confused because she doesn't have to sniff anyone's fan, zip up her boss' clothes, or shave her legs on camera.
