Wes was covering Early Breakfast again this morning, although Nemone is on back tomorrow morning from 4. Wes dropped in for a little chinwag and Chris asked him how he was getting on with Kat, the producer of Early Breakfast. He said fine, although she is still blanking and ignoring Chris whenever she sees him. This was because he offended her a bit ago with some of his false bravado, and he now wants to make it up with her. He even said she was looking tanned, foxy and hot this morning..
Chris - Do you think you could put in a good word for me?
Wes - I will
Chris - Cos I don’t want her to think that I’m some sexist idiot. I’d like you to put my side across...cos honestly I’d love to sleep with her
(starts Lou Reed as Wes and Rachel laugh)

Being the serious producer that she is, Rach took things too far and went next door during the record to chat to Kat. Chris asked her what she said when she came back. She said it wasn’t for his ears - it was girl chat. Sisters are doing it for themselves eh. You’ll probably know that Portugal beat Holland 2-1 last night to reach this Sunday’s Euro 2004 final against the Czech Republic or Greece. Dave said he was pleased with the result for a couple of reasons. One is because he wants Portugal to win, and the other is because it disproves Alan Hansen’s prediction aired on his and Chappers’ show at the weekend. Dave wouldn’t let Chris replay the clip he was talking about though as he wants to save it for his show on Saturday...
Chris (sounding annoyed) - Well we wouldn’t want your bread and butter to get in the way of your extra money, do you know what I mean? God forbid Dave that your five day a week show might get in the way of your one 2 hour gig at the weekend
Dave - It’s not getting in the way, I just don’t want you ruining the gag
Chris (laughs) - Look at him getting all airy fairy about his short contract to do his own show on a Saturday. Give it up Dave, you’re never going to do 606, it’s not gonna happen
Dave - I don’t wanna do 606
Chris - Well you’re not going to do it mate. Seriously, that’s got Spoony written all over it
(Dave laughs)
Chris - You’ve just gotta face facts (laughs). Peel’s gonna do it this weekend and then Mary Anne Hobbs. You ain’t got a hope in hell son. Keep trying though, I believe Aled went and did auditions yesterday afternoon
Dave - Did he?
Chris - Yeah, he was brilliant...however he called it 066 and got confused
(Dave laughs)

The headline sport with Carrie *pink thong* Davis today though was of course Tim Henman’s Wimbledon exit at the hands of Mario Ancic yesterday afternoon. Chris said it was disappointing, but Tim doesn’t deserve the kicking he’s getting from the big, fat press journos this morning. If they’re so good, let’s see them reach the quarter finals at Wimbledon for the eighth time in nine years then. Hmm, I didn’t think so. At least the super hot Maria Sharapova is still in to support at Wimbledon, she plays her semi final against Lindsey Davenport this afternoon.
Chris (interrupting Carrie’s sport) - Is she the fit one Sharapova?
Carrie - She’s the fit one
Chris - Yeah she’s nice, and Lindsey Davenport is the ex page 3 girl with the huge breasts, isn’t that right?
Dave - No that’s Linsey Dawn McKenzie
Chris - Ok got you sorry
(Carrie laughs and then continues her bulletin) - and England’s cricketers take on the West Indies in a day nighter at Headingley later, they’re desperate to bounce back from two heavy defeats
Chris - So’s Linsey Dawn McKenzie
(weather stab plays as Carrie, Dave and Dom laugh)

(Maria Sharapova - just cos she’s gorgeous...and won that semi final this afternoon)
If you’re a regular show listener you’ll know that Dominic and Chris are addicted to the stupid interactive games you can get on Sky - interactive darts, interactive horse racing and interactive greyhound racing. Similarly, Aled is addicted to the shopping channels such as bid up tv. Chris said while bored he was flicking through all these channels yesterday afternoon, when he came across one channel slightly different to the others. Not drastically (I mean all it’s shows still seemed to be presented by over excited local radio DJ’s), but in the fact that at the bottom of it’s screen it had a recommended retail price but also randomly thrown out prices. Chris said yesterday they were selling a watch that was in Vogue machine, worth approximately £14,000. However, due to the lack of bids and random prices being thrown out, the watch sold for just 700 quid (a bargain and a half I’m sure you’ll agree). Chris said that if you don’t believe how good this channel is, the next item up for auction was a framed piece of Elvis Presley’s hair. Genuine of course as it came “from a man who was friends with Elvis Presley’s hairdresser” (cue the laughter from Dave and Dom). Dave said his favourite story from those channels was still a drunk Scott Mills buying a lifetimes supply of carpet cleaner from bid up tv, despite the fact that his flat is made entirely out of wooden floors.

MORE FART MACHINE ANTICS AND CLASSIC MUSICAL MEMORIES:
Image
After discussing what it would be like to put the fart machine in other BBC Radio studios yesterday, it actually happened. At least in Scott Mills’ studio, with Chris playing out the audio from him and Chappers doing Fact Hunt and it interrupting them. Chappers compared it’s sound to that of the duck from Friends, which I found really funny. There was also a genuine clip of it being played as Dominic practised reading the news next door (his laugh of “hee hee hee” was great). However, the clip of it going off in Ken Bruce’s Radio 2 studio sounded completely fake and as if the fart sound had been added on top. A text came in with regard to the whole fart machine thing. Chris took the mick out of it but it’s not too far from the truth. It read as follows - “Please stop this farting machine feature. It’s so boring. I like to pride myself on being slightly immature but that will never be funny". Buzz Off this morning was in Chris’s words “a bit of an experiment”. This is because we went back nearly 20 years, to October 1984. The record in question reached number six and officially features the worst harmonica ever used in a song - Too Late For Goodbyes by Julian Lennon. Rachel was first to buzz on 43 seconds, Aled next on 1:55, Dave third on 2:23 and Dom last on 3:13 (although I’ve no idea why he was taking part). Dave said he used to like that record, but he didn’t think it had aged well if truth be told. As has been the norm over the past few days, Buzz Off was followed by a game of Dave’s Introductory Service/Beat The Intro. It wasn’t really a game though - just random tracks throughout the show that were left open to the whole team and the people on the text. The CD’s used were from 1984, 1989 and 1999 - and intros played came from Billy Ocean, The Dazz Band, Belinda Carlisle, Sir Elton John, Kool & The Gang, Sir Paul McCartney, Mr Oizo and The Spice Girls. The best was saved to last though, with Chris offering two chart CD’s (pop a doodle do) to the first bloke on the text who admitted to knowing the name of the band and the song title of the next intro. The winner was Steve and the song...Private Number by 911. Genius. As Chris played it out past the chorus, the team once again <s>laughed at</s> enjoyed those brilliant lyrics “Now, I've been loving you and you've been loving me”. Dave said that one of his proudest moments at Radio One was undoubtedly having 911 in the Live Lounge singing Christmas Carols a few years ago. Dave also remembered that on afternoons, him and Chris had the ground breaking broadcasting exclusive that was Spike, Lee and Jimmy from 911 coming in to announce live that they were splitting up..
Chris (laughs as he remembers) - That’s right, they chose The Chris Moyles Show to break the news to their fan...I mean fans first
(Dave and Rachel laugh)

Other music played on the show today included tunes from The 5678's, The Love Freaks, Shaznay Lewis and Usher’s new one Burn. Chris said that is actually starting to grow on him now. It’s not on me, it’s crap.

SPORT RELIEF UPDATE AND SCOTT MILLS IMPRESSIONS:>>>>
Image
It’s the last few days now if you want to register for Sport Relief and you know how to do so, just click here and follow the links (it’s about 6 quid I think). In the meantime, here’s a league table update on the number of registered runners so far...
1 - LONDON
2 - MANCHESTER
3 - THE MOYLES MILE IN LEEDS
4 - NOTTINGHAM
5 - BIRMINGHAM
6 - THE MILLS MILE IN SOUTHAMPTON (which has fallen down 2 places since Scott’s announcement)

Talking of Mills, after Chris ranted yesterday that he never plays his choice of “Get Outta My Dreams Get Into My Car” by Billy Ocean on his “Your Call” feature, Chris said he never got a call back yesterday afternoon asking for him to come on the air and request it. Chris said despite this and the feature’s crap name, “Your Call” is actually great...
Chris - What happens is that Scott chooses his favourite records and then tells the callers to pretend they asked for that one..
Dave - mm hmm
Chris - ..so Scott gets away with playing whatever he wants to
Rachel - That’s not true

Chris and Dave did a brilliant sketch with Dave as the caller (a shepherd from London) and Chris as Mills. Chris told Dave to request Everything’s Changing by Keane and not his original choice of REO Speedwagon. Chris said isn’t it remarkable that the songs are already cued up when Scott’s callers come on the air to choose them. Rach claimed this was because they talk to them off the air about their songs beforehand, but Chris said it wasn’t - it’s cos Scott tells them what to say. Chris used one of Scott’s beds and talked really really fast and camp with loads of echo - thus creating the perfect impression of Mills. Chris got Dave on the line again to request Lola’s Theme by the Shapeshifters (not Animal by Def Leppard), and then did Scott’s thing of talking all the way up to the vocal and just before it playing a Radio One jingle. It was genius. I was in the car with my Dad at the time (who’s not Chris’s biggest fan) and even he was laughing his head off. Chris said if Scott chose to accept his challenge then he had to ring him back this afternoon and let him come on air to request Billy Ocean, Nik Kershaw, Musical Youth or Simple Minds..
Chris (laughs) - Anyway, Scott on later today from 3
Dave - He’s a great bloke
Chris - Huh?
Dave - He’s a great bloke
Chris - Yeah, and a thief...right..(moves on)
(Dave laughs hysterically in background)

I presume Chris is referring to Scott’s extensive use of the echo (copyright Moyles), his new fascination with wacky wind up calls with clips (copyright Moyles - Big Brother 4 with Cameron)..and Scott’s Mills Mile, obviously a blatant rip off of The Moyles Mile. The bandwagon jumper. Anyway, you can check out Scott’s new afternoon show today from 3, that's on Radio One FM kids.

ALED’S FLAT IDOL DAY 2 AND EMERGENCY DAT DARE:>>>>
Image
So today was the first heat, with callers going through to Round 2 of Flat Idol - the hunt for 2 new flatmates for Aled. Yep, Aled is the Simon Cowell of Flat Idol. The way it works is that he listens to little clips of callers introducing and talking about themselves, and on the basis of this he then decides whether or not they go through. James 21 from Leeds, Sarah a 19 year old student, Roxanne from Wigan and Paul with his widescreen TV all progressed to the next round, while Vicky and Zoe went out. After Aled’s verdict on each contestant, a little pre recorded clip was played of them reacting to the news. Very fake and false and not really that funny. There’ll be another heat tomorrow though. Chris was scaring Rachel again by leaving a huge gap of silence in his Kill Bill half time bed. She was worried about the emergency DAT coming into play at TV Centre, which previously has been Dario G, New Radicals and Outkast - but now I think is Lose Yourself by Eminem. The team all had varying opinions on how long it took for the emergency DAT to come in. Chris said it was 10 seconds and the rest all said less, but I think it’s more like 30. Despite Rachel’s disclaimer, the team proceeded to play emergency DAT roulette. Dave said it was like dare and wasn’t too arsed about playing it as he’s set the DAT off loads of times before (par exemple avec Simon Mayo). Aled was more worried though, saying that Mark and Lard used to play this game and now they weren’t on Radio One anymore. They did it by accident though and just turned it into a gag. Chris explained how once the DAT comes on, the DJ in the studio is no longer in control and can’t talk or stop the record. Him and Joss were the only ones not yellow belly enough to talk and stop the silence, with Rachel in particular close to a heart attack. Dave said her heavy breathing made her sound like an asthmatic hippo..
Rachel - Now I’ve been called some things in my time but I’ve never been called that. Thank you Dave (laughs)
Chris - Yeah, she’s not asthmatic!!
(Dave and Rach laugh)

Chris ended the show by plugging the rest of the daytime line up on Radio One today, including Dave Pearce at 6pm. Dave has a big Shrek 2 prize up for grabs but Chris deliberately mis read it as “Dave Pearce Shrek”. Dave said Dave looked nothing like Shrek 2, at least not with his baseball cap on. Chris and Jo Whiley chatted to each other at the handover for the 4th day in a row, with Chris informing her that her producer Piers now had the lurgy. Moyles also said he’d seen her being filmed outside this morning, and he asked whether it was for lurgy TV or something.

A BRILLIANT CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
STEPH a sales rep for Ribena & Lucozade from Preston 2
SOPHIE a short skirted slutty Weller consultant from Bournemouth 1

Daves Tedious Link
Zoe Sunshine On A Rainy Day - Sunshine on a rainy day weather wise is the most probable cause of a rainbow - Rainbow had a big hit with Since You’ve Been Gone - Gone With The Wind was a 1939 film starring Vivian Lee - Leigh is a town in Lancashire, as is Chorley - Chorley rhymes with poorly, which is one way of describing my eye - “I” the letter is a vowel - Vowel rhymes with Cowell, who’s first name is Simon - Simon was the name of a strange electronic game in the 80’s, the same decade that gave us the Rubik’s cube and Johnny Hates Jazz - Jazzman was the lead singer of Babylon Zoo, who topped the charts in 1996 with Spaceman - A spaceman might also be considered an alien - Alien Life Form was abbreviated to ALF in the series of the same name - The word “name” is often associated with the word “address” - A dress is a type of clothing unique to women, as is a nightie - Nightie rhymes with mighty - and if you take the word “mighty”, double it and then add the word “bosstones”, you get The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Which links us to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and The Impression That I Get

FLAWS
*Leigh is in Greater Manchester, not Lancashire
*Dresses aren’t unique to women - take Nadia BB for example
