Now in true Chris Moyles style I’m going to start off today with a rant. It’s as regards Listen Again, which for some reason decided to delete the first five minutes of today’s show from it’s stream...on the only god damn day that I wake up late and need to use it. Friday the 13th indeed. I have to say a huge thanks to Tipsy Dipsy from the messageboard who was able to provide me with the opening part of the show at very short notice, which included a bit of a Chuckle Brothers Vs Maroon 5 Remix from Chris - who it seems will keep this whole JK and Joel/Chuckle Brothers thing running for a good few months to come yet. Compared to yesterday, the show was a pile of crap this morning - the only good news being the return of Moped with their fantastic new single The Final Downcount. A Radio One *whisper with echo* exclusive *whisper with echo*, it’s a tribute to the living legends that are Vorderman and Whiteley...in a 1980’s Europe stylee. The best bits of the track (played @ 9:35) were the breakdown rap over the Countdown Clock music - and as usual, the genius lyrics from MC LMNOP. On this occasion they included “feel my wowels!!” and “a consonant please Carol, a wowel please Carol”. If you haven’t heard it for yourself yet then go download it from The Official Moped Website at http://www.moped.org.uk - which btw is well worth a visit.
(Moyles and MC LMNOP)
The return of Moped aside, the show was pretty woeful throughout today if truth be told. I’m hoping for better next week - especially on Tuesday when Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor will be live in the studio to promote their new movie Dodgeball. Ben was great on David Letterman last week (although it was a repeat from about a month ago), so he should be a good guest. He has been on Breakfast once before actually - way back in February when Dom interviewed him and Jennifer Aniston about Along Came Polly. It obviously didn’t made much of a lasting impression on Comedy Dave as he’d completely forgotten, this up until Chris reminded him this morning. Ben seems to be the hardest working actor in Hollywood at the minute - this year he’s starred in Along Came Polly, Starsky & Hutch and now Dodgeball...plus another four films of his are due out before January in the States. One of these is “Meet The Fockers”, where he co stars alongside Robert De Niro. As you may have guessed, the team had a good old laugh at the title and Chris in particular at the fact that Ben plays Gaylord “Greg” M. Focker in the movie. Expect a few more questions about this on Tuesday. As for Ben’s wife Christine Taylor, all we know about her is that she is quite fit, has been in Zoolander, The Wedding Singer and The Brady Bunch Movie...plus she also played Bonnie in Friends about ten years ago.
(Ben and Christine on the show on Tuesday)
Buzz Off today was yet another 80’s classic...alright well not exactly. It was Steve Winwood’s September 87 number 19 hit Valerie, which is sampled on that brilliant new Eric Prydz tune Call On Me. Rachel was first to buzz in on 1:58 and just thought the fact Chris was playing it was bizarre. The text vote was 58% Buzz On and Dave and Aled (who’s now back btw - more on that in a minute) buzzed in as the song faded out. Dave and Chris were loving the old xylophone breakdown in there too..
Dave (as song plays) - This’d be good in Mambo by the way
Other music on the show today came courtesy of The Thrills, Franz Ferdinand, The Avalanches and the new one from Dido (which I quite like but Chris doesn’t). Also played was Baby Cakes by 3 Of A Kind, which Chris voiced his disapproval for once again. Moyles even had some rubbish new “wacky” jingles voiced by himself to play - one naming all the stars that “listen” to the show (Javine, Shane Ritchie, Shaun Williamson...all the big names), one listing all the shows great *mmm...bellas rodas* catchphrases, and one also remixing Dom’s weather words, which unfortunately got jammed in the mini disc player briefly but ended up sounding like quite a street 1Xtra type mix.
ALED RETURNS, CAMP MAN STUFF AND FRIDAY THE 13TH CHAT:
Today is Friday the 13th...and Aled’s back. Obviously just a coincidence *cough*. He said he’d just had a bad cold/light flu, although Chris said he heard that the doctor had diagnosed him as being “allergic to work”. A nice welcome back eh? With Aled absent for most of the weeks camp man/trimming chat, Chris was keen to get his opinions. Jones said he does trim his underarms and granted also shaved his chest twice in Portugal. Moyles said he is actually thinking about getting rid of his chest hair (tra la la la camp man), although Dave said if he did he’d look like a plucked chicken. Vitty said you are what you are and added that waxing and stuff “promotes hair growth”. Chris disagreed but tis true. Moyles said there’s nothing wrong with a bit of maintenance work now and again down below. Dave stood his ground although agreed with Chris by saying that if you catch yourself down below it’s not even in the same league as childbirth. Cue the grumbles and moans from Rachel’s general direction. With today being Friday the 13th, the team discussed some of the old superstitions that supposedly bring bad luck: walking under a ladder/scaffolding, new shoes on the table, magpie salute etc. Chris said people who talk to magpies are like people who talk to cats and dogs as if they can understand them. Dave said they’d get complaints but “shock jock” Chris said he was in one of those moods today where he doesn’t care what other people think (like normal then). Like Chris and Dave, I’m not an animal lover either...
Chris - As the old line says, (stumbles)...I love animals as next as the much man
(Rach and Dave laugh)
Rach - Eh?
Dave - Nicely said! That famous old expression..
Chris (laughs and corrects himself) - as much as the next man!
No bones about it (bad pun) - Moyles said people who have a dog smell of dog. Fact, Chris wins. They say they don’t but they do, they have blankets in the car with all dog hairs and stuff on them...urgh. Chris (quietly) said the Koreans have the right idea when it comes to dogs. Dave said there’d be vegetarian dog lovers up and down the UK fuming at that - on their way to work in the charity shop no doubt, eating lentil biscuits and stuff. Chris told the stupid story of how Aled bought a dog...but then two weeks later gave it to his mum and dad. He now sees it once a month, which he says is a suitable arrangement. He must be too busy with his pet rats to have time for his dog y’see. Chris also said he never got the “dogs are a mans best friend” line either - as they’re quite blatantly not. They’re not a ditsy 21 year old blond girl with loverly knockers for a start. As for cats - well don’t even go there. They’re just snobbish dogs basically...
JULIETTE’S IN ATHENS...BUT NOT ON LISTEN AGAIN:>>>>
(Jules with the sailors Nick Rogers, Olympic gold medallist Ben Ainslie (whose fave cheese is Feta), and Joe Glanfield - see her Olympic picture diary updated here)
If you visit the Radio One ONLINE Running Order page (bbc.co.uk/radio1/chrismoyles - they nick all our ideas), you’ll probably have seen the small print saying that certain parts of the show will be unavailable online during The Olympics, presumably for legal reasons. That seems to mean that Juliette’s five daily sports bulletins are the parts of the show in question - I presume this due to the fact that they have been sneakily edited out of today’s Listen Again, which lasts 2hrs 50 minutes and not the usual 3hrs 08. Her post bulletin chats with Chris are still included though, which today meant chat about tonight’s opening ceremony at The Olympic Stadium in Athens. It's live on BBC One from 6:35 and lasts well over three hours. Chris said it might be a coup for the beeb but he’d rather watch Ground Force. Fair play. The big hush hush secret about tonight is regarding which big musical star will be performing at the ceremony. Jules had been told, but couldn’t tell. So needless to say after relentless pressure and the usual collection of stupid guesses (Peter Andre, Kristian Leontiou, Tina Arena, Burt Reynolds, Stevie Winwood and Stevie Gerrard) - Jules finally conceded that it is to be Björk. No really. Chris said she’s crap though, and then took it back. He said it was just a bit of a strange decision to be honest, adding that it should have been Hoddle and Waddle performing Diamond Lights in a drum and bass stylee. Now that I would have paid to see. As well as the news about Björk, Jules also had Tony Blair as a Guess Who. She saw him earlier down by the mariner, where he was greeting Great Britain’s sailing team. Remember, Jules will be covering Sailing for Five Live throughout The Olympics.
Chris - What is he (i.e Tony Blair) doing?
Jules - He just came down to meet all the sailors
Chris - ....OK. That’s your OBE gone then love. Erm,...
Dave (interrupting) - What like ours are still in the bag?
(Chris and Dave laugh)
LINEKER LIVE IN THE STUDIO & THE CHRIS MOYLES SHOW PENALTY SHOOT OUT:
Gary came into the studio after 8 o’clock for a brief chat with Chris and Dave. If you thought he sounded tired and uninterested when on the phone during Euro 2004, then this was no better. Granted there were a couple of funny moments but I got the feeling listening that he couldn’t wait to get out of there. Stuff discussed apart from Match Of The Day (which we’ll get to in a minute), included Gary’s tan, England’s performance in Euro 2004 and forthcoming Euro and World Cup finals. Gary is right when he says it’s much better to win the World Cup in Germany than the Euros in Portugal, although Chris is slightly unhappy about the World Cup being in Deutschland - as he’ll struggle to get a tan there....and a sun bed. A nice bit of borderline xenophobia to start the day...
Gary - We should put our towels out now
After Gary and Dave agreed that Wayne Rooney will probably leave Everton for Manchester United (Dave albeit reluctantly), Chris got onto the subject of Leeds and their wonderful summer signings - Paul Butler, Michael Ricketts and Brian Deane The Goal Machine (cos Brian Deane is the future of football folks).
Gary - You’re right up there with Leicester
Despite the fact that Match Of The Day is coming back, Chris says that’s so last season...The Championship’s the place to be now. Gary said at least Leeds will win a few games there. Er, I wouldn’t be too sure jug ears. MOTD returns (hurrah) at 10:30pm tomorrow night on BBC One, repeated Sunday morning at 9:45. This is much to the delight of Comedy Dave, who called it a “relationship saver”. He said he always used to wake up at 9:15 for ITV’s Sunday morning Premiership re run...giving him ten minutes to get his contacts in beforehand. Nice. Gary admitted that when the BBC brought in MOTD Sunday morning repeats pre 2001, he used to get up and watch himself again with his kids. Stupid idea, I mean if you think I read through this crap again after I’ve written it...erm, you’d be right. Just to spell check and stuff y’know. The worse thing about Gary watching MOTD with his kids though is that they start saying it’s boring when him Hansen and Lawro come on analysing stuff. Just like the rest of us then. In addition to MOTD coming back, there’ll also be a new BBC2 Sunday night version imaginatively called Match Of The Day 2 - presented by the excellent Adrian Chiles. Gary explained how him and the pundits sit down in TV Centre at 3pm to watch a bank of 8 or 9 screens with a bit of chocolate and 3 or 4 tinnies. Chris and Dave said they too can watch the Premiership live on TV at 3pm each Saturday, although they better keep it quiet as that hooky pub near them with the old Canal + on in the back room might get in trouble. Predictably the topic of discussion soon turned to crisps. Hmm, joy. Gary asked if they had any in. Chris said yeah and asked him what he wanted - Pringles, McCoys, Golden Wonder etc? Moyles told Gary that his favourite Walkers ad is the one Lineker did with Willie Thorne. Gary’s favourite is the one he did with Gazza (he’s been doing them for nine years now). With Chris pursuing the crisp line of questioning, Lineker seemed to get a bit narky and asked if they wouldn’t talk about the crisp thing anymore. Chris said fine, but he was just about to get him another 3 year contract extension here. He said his agent would be delighted...
A new season then and a new Premiership tickets competition on The Chris Moyles Show. Chicks Win Tix looks to have been axed, sadly not for the return of King Of Tickets - but for a new competition called “The Chris Moyles Show Penalty Shoot Out”. It’s a nice concept and well produced, but I just found it too long and too boring personally. Basically the idea is to pit two fans against each other in a Best Of 3 Penalty Shoot Out, i.e each caller gets played the run up to three penalties and has to guess whether the player scores or misses. The caller with the most correct answers wins, if not it goes to a tie break. That was the case today as Norwich fans Nathan (a BT accounts manager) and Karl (a mortgage adviser) both scored three out of three correct, this in their bid to win tickets to see Norwich Versus Crystal Palace tomorrow at Carrow Road, on the first day of the 2004/2005 Barclays Premiership season. Oh and that is correct btw - Norwich and Crystal Palace are playing each other in the PREMIERSHIP. No really..
NATHAN VERSUS KARL:>>>
NATHAN - Paul Dickov Vs Man City (Missed - Correct), Ruud Van Nistelrooy Vs Arsenal (Missed - Correct), Thierry Henry Vs Middlesbrough (Scored - Correct)
KARL - Alan Shearer Vs Fulham (Missed - Correct), Darren Huckerby Vs Rotherham (Scored - Correct), Robbie Keane Vs Unknown (Scored - Correct)
The fact both Nathan and Karl clearly knew their stuff threw Chris and Dave, who said it had screwed the game in terms of tension. I think it was pretty much screwed from the beginning though as the callers were ruuuubish and the quiz so long it was hard to keep score. Basically we could have been saved all that bother if they had just gone straight to the tie break, which was a question asked to both off the air beforehand. That question - When Norwich beat Preston 3-2 back on May 1st 2004 at Carrow Road in Nationwide League Division One, what was the attendance? Nathan guessed over 26 000 (even though Carrow Road doesn’t hold that much) so Karl’s guess was much closer to the actual crowd of 23,673. He is therefore off to the game tomorrow courtesy of The Chris Moyles Show - that game being the one everyone’s talking about remember, the game of the decade - Norwich City versus erm, Crystal Palace.
CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
DONNA who works for the marketing department at Portsmouth Uni 2
ALEX a painter and decorator from Bournemouth 1
**Donna was travelling in a minibus with a load of the girls going up to Alton Towers today for a hen weekend. Chris just burst out laughing as him and a few mates are going up there today too. He said he’d meet the fittest single one amongst them (Gemma, 22) by the Corkscrew @ 5pm. An offer you can’t refuse eh? Competing against this <s>bunch of dogs</s> bevvy of lovelies was Alex, who had his younger brother Aidan next to him in the car. “Aidan” is of course “Nadia” spelt backwards. Chris said on that subject, he’d had a box of hair removal “nads” sent to him this morning. The same type that him and Dave saw advertised on Portuguese TV...
Chris - Aled just ran through to me all excited going “Oh, you’ve got a box of nads!!!”. I’m like, well it’s very nice of you to say so but I’ve gotta do Carpark Catchphrase..
(Dom, Aled, Alex and Aidan laugh)**
Daves Tedious Link
Oasis Some Might Say - Some Might Say was Oasis’s first ever number one single in 1995 - 1995 was the year that Everton won The FA Cup - The FA Cup Final is currently held in Cardiff - Cardiff is the capital of Wales - Whales have blowholes in their head to enable them to breathe - Breathe was a hit for The Prodigy - The Prodigy’s Liam Howlett is married to Natalie Appleton - If you remove the last three letters of Appleton you get Apple, which is the name of Chris and Gwyneth’s new born baby - Baby Baby was a hit for Amy Grant - Amy Grant shares the same surname as Russell Grant, who in turn shares one name in common with Grant Bovey, the husband of Anthea Turner - Anthea Turner likes chocolate - Chocolate was a recent hit for Snow Patrol - A snow patrol or more precisely a snow inspection is something that would probably be carried out during the Winter Olympics - The Winter Olympics are always held in cold countries such as Canada, who hosted the games in 1988 - and 1988 was the year that S’Express topped the charts with The Theme From S’Express - Which links us predictably to S’Express and The Theme From S’Express

The return of Moped aside, the show was pretty woeful throughout today if truth be told. I’m hoping for better next week - especially on Tuesday when Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor will be live in the studio to promote their new movie Dodgeball.

Moyles even had some rubbish new “wacky” jingles voiced by himself to play - one naming all the stars that “listen” to the show (Javine, Shane Ritchie, Shaun Williamson...all the big names), one listing all the shows great *mmm...bellas rodas* catchphrases, and one also remixing Dom’s weather words, which unfortunately got jammed in the mini disc player briefly but ended up sounding like quite a street 1Xtra type mix.

A new season then and a new Premiership tickets competition on The Chris Moyles Show. Chicks Win Tix looks to have been axed, sadly not for the return of King Of Tickets - but for a new competition called “The Chris Moyles Show Penalty Shoot Out”. It’s a nice concept and well produced, but I just found it too long and too boring personally. Basically the idea is to pit two fans against each other in a Best Of 3 Penalty Shoot Out, i.e each caller gets played the run up to three penalties and has to guess whether the player scores or misses. The caller with the most correct answers wins, if not it goes to a tie break. That was the case today as Norwich fans Nathan (a BT accounts manager) and Karl (a mortgage adviser) both scored three out of three correct, this in their bid to win tickets to see Norwich Versus Crystal Palace tomorrow at Carrow Road, on the first day of the 2004/2005 Barclays Premiership season. Oh and that is correct btw - Norwich and Crystal Palace are playing each other in the PREMIERSHIP. No really..
NATHAN VERSUS KARL:>>>
NATHAN - Paul Dickov Vs Man City (Missed - Correct), Ruud Van Nistelrooy Vs Arsenal (Missed - Correct), Thierry Henry Vs Middlesbrough (Scored - Correct)
KARL - Alan Shearer Vs Fulham (Missed - Correct), Darren Huckerby Vs Rotherham (Scored - Correct), Robbie Keane Vs Unknown (Scored - Correct)
The fact both Nathan and Karl clearly knew their stuff threw Chris and Dave, who said it had screwed the game in terms of tension. I think it was pretty much screwed from the beginning though as the callers were ruuuubish and the quiz so long it was hard to keep score. Basically we could have been saved all that bother if they had just gone straight to the tie break, which was a question asked to both off the air beforehand. That question - When Norwich beat Preston 3-2 back on May 1st 2004 at Carrow Road in Nationwide League Division One, what was the attendance? Nathan guessed over 26 000 (even though Carrow Road doesn’t hold that much) so Karl’s guess was much closer to the actual crowd of 23,673. He is therefore off to the game tomorrow courtesy of The Chris Moyles Show - that game being the one everyone’s talking about remember, the game of the decade - Norwich City versus erm, Crystal Palace.
CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
DONNA who works for the marketing department at Portsmouth Uni 2
ALEX a painter and decorator from Bournemouth 1
**Donna was travelling in a minibus with a load of the girls going up to Alton Towers today for a hen weekend. Chris just burst out laughing as him and a few mates are going up there today too. He said he’d meet the fittest single one amongst them (Gemma, 22) by the Corkscrew @ 5pm. An offer you can’t refuse eh? Competing against this <s>bunch of dogs</s> bevvy of lovelies was Alex, who had his younger brother Aidan next to him in the car. “Aidan” is of course “Nadia” spelt backwards. Chris said on that subject, he’d had a box of hair removal “nads” sent to him this morning. The same type that him and Dave saw advertised on Portuguese TV...
Chris - Aled just ran through to me all excited going “Oh, you’ve got a box of nads!!!”. I’m like, well it’s very nice of you to say so but I’ve gotta do Carpark Catchphrase..
(Dom, Aled, Alex and Aidan laugh)**

Oasis Some Might Say - Some Might Say was Oasis’s first ever number one single in 1995 - 1995 was the year that Everton won The FA Cup - The FA Cup Final is currently held in Cardiff - Cardiff is the capital of Wales - Whales have blowholes in their head to enable them to breathe - Breathe was a hit for The Prodigy - The Prodigy’s Liam Howlett is married to Natalie Appleton - If you remove the last three letters of Appleton you get Apple, which is the name of Chris and Gwyneth’s new born baby - Baby Baby was a hit for Amy Grant - Amy Grant shares the same surname as Russell Grant, who in turn shares one name in common with Grant Bovey, the husband of Anthea Turner - Anthea Turner likes chocolate - Chocolate was a recent hit for Snow Patrol - A snow patrol or more precisely a snow inspection is something that would probably be carried out during the Winter Olympics - The Winter Olympics are always held in cold countries such as Canada, who hosted the games in 1988 - and 1988 was the year that S’Express topped the charts with The Theme From S’Express - Which links us predictably to S’Express and The Theme From S’Express
