What a top top show today - the best I can remember in a long time. A few reasons for this - the greatest half time ever thanks to Comedy Dave (more on that later), Dom and Chris’s great Wimbledon link after 8 (likewise) ... and most importantly of all - Aled’s new haircut. Chris said he liked it, as it makes a nice change for Aled to have crap hair. He asked where he’d had it done - Stevie Wonder Cuts? Dave said it made him look like a fashionable monk. Aled was quick to his own defence though, saying that his cut yesterday was only stage one of the process - and there’s another stage yet to come:
Dave - What’s part 2 Aled?
Aled - I’m having it... (pauses)
Chris - Yes?
Aled - ...straightened
(Rach bursts into hysterical laughter off mic)
Chris & Dave together - Straightened?
Aled (laughing) - Yes
Chris - For the first time ever ladies and gentleman..
(plays out jingle from bed and starts Beyonce)
Chris - We’re off and running!
Dave - Straightened? You’ve got straight hair anyway!!
Aled - No there’s kinks in it so I’m gonna have it straightened
Chris (laughs) - What? There’s Ray Davies look..
(Dave laughs loudly)
Chris - ..morning kids
Aled said he was having his hair “chemically straightened”, which Chris told Dom was some sort of backwards perm. One genius text said they should call Aled “Chemical Aled” (for you dumb asses: an Iraq reference). After all this Aled hair chat, Chris looked closely at it for the first time and said he was clearly thinning up there on top. Dom urged him to “embrace the skin” and said that baldness is nothing to be fearful of. Aled got annoyed and said he isn’t going bald - he’s only 28:
(Rachel inspects Aled’s hair)
Rach - Oh Aled you’ve got a bit of a bald patch there..
Aled - Rachel!! I thought I could trust you!
Al also revealed that he wants a fringe, but Dave said he’d look like Friar Tuck with one - as he needs way more hair up there. Aled said he just had a high forehead, like Dave himself. He then accused Vitty of also having thinning hair...
Dave - It’s not thinning!
Aled - Look at that!! That’s practically to your scalp..
Dave - It’s...(stops)... Well of course it’s to my scalp!!!
(Chris laughs)
Dave - Everyone’s hair meets their scalp at some point!
Chris compared Daves hair to that of a used toilet brush. I believe his response was “how rude”. Dave said at least he’s not going grey like Chris though, which didn’t actually go down as badly as I thought with Moyles. Mainly cos it’s true. That didn’t mean Chris didn’t retaliate back though (hair wars) - accusing Dave of dying his hair and having a subscription to Just For Men magazine:
Dave (laughing) - I don’t dye my hair! Look at you the silver fox! eh?
(Chris and Rach laugh)
Dave - You’re like a tubby George Clooney!
(Aled and Chris laugh)
(Chris - the new stupid grey haired old man?)
With the team blatantly picking on Aled (although Dave said they were “just being observational”), Rach was reluctant to get involved. She said she didn’t want to hurt Aled’s feelings at this early time of the day:
Dave - Yeah, let’s wait till prime time at quarter past 8...
(all laugh)
Everyone was ripping into everyone regarding their hair, and next it was Rachel’s turn. Dave said her hair looks a bit like Rachel from Friends when it’s good, but more like Diego Forlan when it’s less good. She wasn’t pleased. Last words on the whole Aled hair debate then have to go to the man himself:
Aled - I thought I’d be more Keanu Reeves out of Speed so I shaved my hair off once and I kinda looked more Tom Hanks in Philadelphia..
Dave - mmm (laughs)
Chris - That was a great film to choose! (laughs) lovely!! Let’s choose that role should we, out of all the roles we could have chosen!
Dave (laughing) - Right, I have a Guess Who!!
(all laugh - especially Dom)
Chris - Right, let’s do that (it was Stephen Gateley btw..)
(Bald, Mohican and Curlers Aled - a few images drawn up @ Radio 1 ONLINE. More here)
CHRIS AND DOM TALK WIMBLEDON:
(The lovely Kirsten and Paul Betterbuys)
I’ve already mentioned that this was good - especially the trailer Chris played at about five minutes to Tedious Link (for all you Listen Againers). We’ll come to that eventually but I should probably start by telling you that Dom is today off to meet and interview some of Chris’s fellow stars from HIS movie Wimbledon. Just to make that clear - it is HIS movie, cos that is how it’s being billed on the billboards. Dom is off to meet Paul <s>Betterbuys</s> Bettany and the director Richard Loncraine (or “Dickie” to Chris) at a swanky London hotel, although he won’t be interviewing Kirsten Dunst on this occasion because he’s obviously interviewed her in the past... plus the fact she’s not in the country *ahem*. Dom was looking for questions to ask Paul and Dickie, apart from the one on the text that said “Who’s your favourite womble?”, and the one that advised Dom to stop both interviews half way through to ask for “new balls please”. Chris said he had some questions for them both:
*What was it like working with Chris Moyles?
*Were you pleased when Chris agreed to take part in the film?
*Are you a fan of Chris Moyles?
*Would you like to play tennis with Chris Moyles?
*Would you like to work with Chris Moyles again on another project?
Hmm. Dom said he could see a pattern emerging here. While we’re on the subject of questions, Dom said he had a few for Chris - who if you don’t already know is included in the film for 9 seconds voicing a liner on the radio (quality rather than quantity):
Dom - How are you finding the balance between radio and film work at the moment?
Chris - Erm well it’s fair to say I’m doing more radio work than film work at the moment..
Dom - What percentage roughly is the split?
(Dom, Chris and Dave laugh)
Dom saw the film last week and liked it more than he expected, saying that it doesn’t look rubbish like a lot of sport films do. It’s out in the UK on September 24th and Chris said Kirsten Dunst (ahh), Paul Betterbuys and someone called Chris Moyles are all very good in it. Chris said yeah, but obviously he is the star - as the trails going out for the movie in America reflect. He then played out the official 50 second trail (isn’t that technically playing an advert on the BBC?) - but with his name dubbed on top by an American voiceover artist not too dissimilar to the official one used. The bed for the majority of the trail is This Love by Maroon 5, which was just starting to fade when Dave started laughing:
Chris - Don’t laugh. That’s how they’re promoting that in America..
Dom - It’s playing big in the States for you
Chris - Yeah I’m high up on the bill there..
Dom - mmm. It’s a shame they said “Ross Moyles”
Chris (laughing) - No they didn’t no
(him, Dom and Dave laugh as Chris plays trail)

WHEN ALED MET RICHARD AND JUDY:>>>
(a meeting of minds - Madeley, Finnigan and Aled Hadyn Jones)
Aled went off to meet who he called “the royal family of TV” on Friday afternoon at a press do at Channel 4, in fact in the green room at Cactus TV - which is where they <s>pre</s> record their <s>un</s> live TV show. Aled said they were lovely people actually, and they’ve been trying to get them on the show now for a long long time:
Chris - Well we haven’t really have we?
Aled - Well it sounds good for the link
Chris - Right OK
Played again was yesterdays teaser about them possibly coming on the show, and a different clip with them more or less agreeing to come in one morning (do they have to?). The rest of the interview was “distinctly average” (to quote Chris) and also included the cheese question (cheddar and brie) - plus a little game Aled was told to play with them by Chris and Dave in the office on Friday morning. It was called “You Pay We Say” (y’see what they did there?). Aled didn’t fully get it at first - as he never knew they had a feature on their show called “You Say We Pay”.
Chris - So hang on, you had no idea what we were on about?
Aled - I just thought it was a very funny feature
(Dave laughs)
Chris - So you asked this question without even understanding it?
Aled - No
Chris - Jesus
(Dave laughs)
The basic premise of this new game was that Richard and Judy could plug their show as much as they wanted, as long as they paid Aled satisfactorily (check your dictionaries) in return. They played along at a tenner a plug, although Richard said he doesn’t carry cash. They finally finished their huge list and ended up owing Aled around 70 quid to stick on the shows breakfast budget...
Richard - Now that is a triple starbucks answer!
Aled - I was gonna say, if you have any money left that’s great..
(Richard laughs)

THE MOST AWESOME HALF TIME LINK EVER:>>>
...and 11 minutes 3 seconds long - they talked to the end of the Kill Bill music for the first time. Dave was at the centre of attention for most of this brilliant link, firstly regarding his Tedious Link five minutes earlier (see it's flaws below). He said that the show had just literally been besieged on text by a deluge of angry farmers in support of Dave’s claim that corn is produced from wheat... which Chris had just ridiculed over the Treasure Hunt theme moments earlier. Chris told Dave to get over it and move on, saying it’d just be childish and petty to look back and try and outdo each other now, adding “Chris wins”. Dave said no, Chris owed him an apology for trying to ridicule his lack of farming knowledge on national radio:
Chris - Whoa whoa, eh check this - swivel son, that’s what I’m saying..
Dave - That’s not a valid argument
Chris - Eh?
Dave - That wouldn’t stand up in court (Rach laughs)
Chris - Swivel right there..
Dave - Now who’s being childish?
Chris - Chris wins!
Rach - Oi you two!!
Chris - Don’t you get involved!
Rach - I want you to be nice to each other
Chris - Stay out of it will you? Dave and I are having an intelligent grown up conversation here..
Dave (interrupting) - ...about corn
(Rach laughs)
Next Chris played in the Slash drops regarding Tedious Link and him listening to the show. Chris did one for Dom by saying “Hey this is Slash and whenever I wanna hear news, information and up to date travel, I listen to Dominic Byrne on Radio One”. Dave wanted his playing again though. Chris said OK, but remember Dave can never compete with his cool celebrity name drops:
Chris - Check this
*clip of Estelle doesn’t play - it’s just the violin bit on the Kill Bill bed*
Chris - Oh hang on..
Dave - What just some random violin music?
(Chris and Dom laugh)
Chris - That’s right Dave...ha ha, you don’t have that do you?
Dave - You got a name check from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Orchestra
(Rach and Dom laugh)
Dom - From Phil Harmonic...
(Dave laughs)
Chris then ran through a selection of his DJ drops, including his one from C3PO. Dave said that was rubbish though. Chris said just cos Dave doesn’t like Star Wars it doesn’t mean it’s rubbish. In fact Dave said as a general rule he doesn’t like any films set in space. For a start they have no car chases and he also finds them a bit dark...
Chris - So 2001: Space Odyssey?
Dave - Not seen it but it sounds rubbish!
(Dave, Dom and Chris laugh)
He also doesn’t like the Alien Movies either cos (as he’s mentioned before) he’s not a big fan of Sigourney Weaver. Her in space is officially his idea of hell.
Dave - It always amazes me how people find her attractive
(Chris laughs)
Dave - No but seriously, she often gets polled...(starts laughing)...so to speak
Chris - Whoo, hello!
*plays “boobs is what they want” clip*
(Dom and Dave laugh)
Dave - ..she often gets polled in these attractive women lists
Dave said he his favourite movies are all set in real life, as he doesn’t like the future or to some extent the past (cue laughter in the studio). One of these favourite movies being Suburban Commando btw - how does that work? He also likes Convoy and the Lethal Weapon films, but not black and white ones or subtitled ones. Slightly ironic since he was born and raised in Hong Kong and did go to cinema there - although most of the films he saw there were actually English or American. Dave recalled seeing Moonwalker there, which is interestingly set in space...
Chris - But you liked that?
Dave - No I thought it was rubbish!
Chris - Right
(Chris, Dom and Rach laugh)
OTHER STUFF ON THE SHOW TODAY:>>>
Other stuff today included Mercury Music Prize nominees chat, another genius final link from Chris and Dave as Wogan and Ken Bruce, plus Chris’s cleverly edited clip of Corrie actress Tina O’Brien (who plays Sarah Lou) talking about the storyline that won her a TV Quick award last night:
*Chris plays edited clip of Tina* - “I enjoyed doing it and it was long..”
Another highlight this morning was Juliette getting sent out of the studio after the 8:00 news and sport by Chris, this for not listening to the conversation again (about Geordie women) - and then making stupid comments and questions of no relevance. It happened yesterday as well, and Chris wasn’t standing for it anymore. He called her an idiot and told her to go eat her Cheerios outside with Aled:
Jules (off mic) - Bye
*door slams*
(pause)
Dom - One love..
(Chris laughs)
Chris’s Buzz Off choice today was It's The End Of The World As We Know It by REM (number 39 back in December 1991), which was good - but by no means the best REM song he could have chosen. Disgracefully the listeners buzzed it off with 60%, and Aled and Rachel also buzzed within the first 15 seconds (on 8 and 13 respectively). Thankfully a smug Dave told everyone to shut up and left the track playing until 3:59. Other music on the show today came courtesy of classic Spooks, the next one by Travis - and the new single from Eamon and Ghostface Killah, called “Love Them” (Ho’s):
Chris - Which is obviously all about garden implements...
Dave - mmm
Chris - ...and not women who sell their bodies for cash for sex *clears throat*
CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:

SUZANNE a Parker Pens Business Development Rep from Brighton 0
Daves Tedious Link
Guns ‘N’ Roses Paradise City - Former Guns ‘N’ Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum are now in Velvet Revolver with Scott Weiland, formerly of the Stone Temple Pilots - Pilots need to have 20-20 vision - Vision is what the eyes are there for - Eyes are a part of the body that work in pairs, and in that respect share something in common with ears and feet - “Ears” and “feet” are both words that can be associated with corn - Corn is produced from the crop wheat - If you add the letters “U” and “S” onto the end of “wheat” you get Wheatus - Wheatus had a big hit in 2001 with a cover of A Little Respect by Erasure - Erasure were made up of singer Andy Bell and keyboard goon Vince Clark - Vince Clark used to make up about one third of the duo Yazoo, along with Alison Moyet - Alison Moyet is a good example of a dominant front person from an 80’s duo, who then goes on to enjoy a successful solo career - and in that respect she shares a lot in common with George Michael - Which links us to George Michael and Too Funky
FLAWS
*Corn is produced from maize, not wheat (for more see above)
*Vince Clark did not use to make up about one third of the duo Yazoo - as there are only two in a duo. Dave tried to argue his way out of this one by saying he was going off weight and Alison Moyet’s mass, but of course a duo refers to a number of people and not someones size. Dave loses.

<A HREF="http://pod-135.dolphin-server.co.uk/~chris/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8379">> Tuesday 7th September 04 - What Did You Think Of This Show/Review? Tell Us Here! <</A>
What a top top show today - the best I can remember in a long time. A few reasons for this - the greatest half time ever thanks to Comedy Dave (more on that later), Dom and Chris’s great Wimbledon link after 8 (likewise) ... and most importantly of all - Aled’s new haircut. Chris said he liked it, as it makes a nice change for Aled to have crap hair. He asked where he’d had it done - Stevie Wonder Cuts? Dave said it made him look like a fashionable monk. Aled was quick to his own defence though, saying that his cut yesterday was only stage one of the process - and there’s another stage yet to come:
Dave - What’s part 2 Aled?
Aled - I’m having it... (pauses)
Chris - Yes?
Aled - ...straightened
(Rach bursts into hysterical laughter off mic)
Chris & Dave together - Straightened?
Aled (laughing) - Yes
Chris - For the first time ever ladies and gentleman..
(plays out jingle from bed and starts Beyonce)
Chris - We’re off and running!
Dave - Straightened? You’ve got straight hair anyway!!
Aled - No there’s kinks in it so I’m gonna have it straightened
Chris (laughs) - What? There’s Ray Davies look..
(Dave laughs loudly)
Chris - ..morning kids
Aled said he was having his hair “chemically straightened”, which Chris told Dom was some sort of backwards perm. One genius text said they should call Aled “Chemical Aled” (for you dumb asses: an Iraq reference). After all this Aled hair chat, Chris looked closely at it for the first time and said he was clearly thinning up there on top. Dom urged him to “embrace the skin” and said that baldness is nothing to be fearful of. Aled got annoyed and said he isn’t going bald - he’s only 28:
(Rachel inspects Aled’s hair)
Rach - Oh Aled you’ve got a bit of a bald patch there..
Aled - Rachel!! I thought I could trust you!
Al also revealed that he wants a fringe, but Dave said he’d look like Friar Tuck with one - as he needs way more hair up there. Aled said he just had a high forehead, like Dave himself. He then accused Vitty of also having thinning hair...
Dave - It’s not thinning!
Aled - Look at that!! That’s practically to your scalp..
Dave - It’s...(stops)... Well of course it’s to my scalp!!!
(Chris laughs)
Dave - Everyone’s hair meets their scalp at some point!
Chris compared Daves hair to that of a used toilet brush. I believe his response was “how rude”. Dave said at least he’s not going grey like Chris though, which didn’t actually go down as badly as I thought with Moyles. Mainly cos it’s true. That didn’t mean Chris didn’t retaliate back though (hair wars) - accusing Dave of dying his hair and having a subscription to Just For Men magazine:
Dave (laughing) - I don’t dye my hair! Look at you the silver fox! eh?
(Chris and Rach laugh)
Dave - You’re like a tubby George Clooney!
(Aled and Chris laugh)
(Chris - the new stupid grey haired old man?)
With the team blatantly picking on Aled (although Dave said they were “just being observational”), Rach was reluctant to get involved. She said she didn’t want to hurt Aled’s feelings at this early time of the day:
Dave - Yeah, let’s wait till prime time at quarter past 8...
(all laugh)
Everyone was ripping into everyone regarding their hair, and next it was Rachel’s turn. Dave said her hair looks a bit like Rachel from Friends when it’s good, but more like Diego Forlan when it’s less good. She wasn’t pleased. Last words on the whole Aled hair debate then have to go to the man himself:
Aled - I thought I’d be more Keanu Reeves out of Speed so I shaved my hair off once and I kinda looked more Tom Hanks in Philadelphia..
Dave - mmm (laughs)
Chris - That was a great film to choose! (laughs) lovely!! Let’s choose that role should we, out of all the roles we could have chosen!
Dave (laughing) - Right, I have a Guess Who!!
(all laugh - especially Dom)
Chris - Right, let’s do that (it was Stephen Gateley btw..)

Dom was looking for questions to ask Paul and Dickie, apart from the one on the text that said “Who’s your favourite womble?”, and the one that advised Dom to stop both interviews half way through to ask for “new balls please”.

Hmm. Dom said he could see a pattern emerging here. While we’re on the subject of questions, Dom said he had a few for Chris - who if you don’t already know is included in the film for 9 seconds voicing a liner on the radio (quality rather than quantity):
Dom - How are you finding the balance between radio and film work at the moment?
Chris - Erm well it’s fair to say I’m doing more radio work than film work at the moment..
Dom - What percentage roughly is the split?

WHEN ALED MET RICHARD AND JUDY:>>>
(a meeting of minds - Madeley, Finnigan and Aled Hadyn Jones)
Aled went off to meet who he called “the royal family of TV” on Friday afternoon at a press do at Channel 4, in fact in the green room at Cactus TV - which is where they <s>pre</s> record their <s>un</s> live TV show. Aled said they were lovely people actually, and they’ve been trying to get them on the show now for a long long time:
Chris - Well we haven’t really have we?
Aled - Well it sounds good for the link
Chris - Right OK
Played again was yesterdays teaser about them possibly coming on the show, and a different clip with them more or less agreeing to come in one morning (do they have to?). The rest of the interview was “distinctly average” (to quote Chris) and also included the cheese question (cheddar and brie) - plus a little game Aled was told to play with them by Chris and Dave in the office on Friday morning. It was called “You Pay We Say” (y’see what they did there?). Aled didn’t fully get it at first - as he never knew they had a feature on their show called “You Say We Pay”.
Chris - So hang on, you had no idea what we were on about?
Aled - I just thought it was a very funny feature
(Dave laughs)
Chris - So you asked this question without even understanding it?
Aled - No
Chris - Jesus

The basic premise of this new game was that Richard and Judy could plug their show as much as they wanted, as long as they paid Aled satisfactorily (check your dictionaries) in return. They played along at a tenner a plug, although Richard said he doesn’t carry cash. They finally finished their huge list and ended up owing Aled around 70 quid to stick on the shows breakfast budget...
Richard - Now that is a triple starbucks answer!

Chris told Dave to get over it and move on, saying it’d just be childish and petty to look back and try and outdo each other now, adding “Chris wins”. Dave said no, Chris owed him an apology for trying to ridicule his lack of farming knowledge on national radio:
Chris - Whoa whoa, eh check this - swivel son, that’s what I’m saying..
Dave - That’s not a valid argument
Chris - Eh?
Dave - That wouldn’t stand up in court (Rach laughs)

Next Chris played in the Slash drops regarding Tedious Link and him listening to the show. Chris did one for Dom by saying “Hey this is Slash and whenever I wanna hear news, information and up to date travel, I listen to Dominic Byrne on Radio One”. Dave wanted his playing again though. Chris said OK, but remember Dave can never compete with his cool celebrity name drops:
Chris - Check this
*clip of Estelle doesn’t play - it’s just the violin bit on the Kill Bill bed*
Chris - Oh hang on..
Dave - What just some random violin music?

Chris - That’s right Dave...ha ha, you don’t have that do you?
Dave - You got a name check from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Orchestra
(Rach and Dom laugh)
Dom - From Phil Harmonic...

Chris then ran through a selection of his DJ drops, including his one from C3PO. Dave said that was rubbish though. Chris said just cos Dave doesn’t like Star Wars it doesn’t mean it’s rubbish. In fact Dave said as a general rule he doesn’t like any films set in space. For a start they have no car chases and he also finds them a bit dark...
Chris - So 2001: Space Odyssey?

Dave said he his favourite movies are all set in real life, as he doesn’t like the future or to some extent the past (cue laughter in the studio). One of these favourite movies being Suburban Commando btw - how does that work? He also likes Convoy and the Lethal Weapon films, but not black and white ones or subtitled ones. Slightly ironic since he was born and raised in Hong Kong and did go to cinema there - although most of the films he saw there were actually English or American. Dave recalled seeing Moonwalker there, which is interestingly set in space...
Chris - But you liked that?
Dave - No I thought it was rubbish!

Another highlight this morning was Juliette getting sent out of the studio after the 8:00 news and sport by Chris, this for not listening to the conversation again (about Geordie women) - and then making stupid comments and questions of no relevance. It happened yesterday as well, and Chris wasn’t standing for it anymore. He called her an idiot and told her to go eat her Cheerios outside with Aled:
Jules (off mic) - Bye
*door slams*
(pause)
Dom - One love..
(Chris laughs)
Chris’s Buzz Off choice today was It's The End Of The World As We Know It by REM (number 39 back in December 1991), which was good - but by no means the best REM song he could have chosen. Disgracefully the listeners buzzed it off with 60%, and Aled and Rachel also buzzed within the first 15 seconds (on 8 and 13 respectively). Thankfully a smug Dave told everyone to shut up and left the track playing until 3:59. Other music on the show today came courtesy of classic Spooks, the next one by Travis - and the new single from Eamon and Ghostface Killah, called “Love Them” (Ho’s):
Chris - Which is obviously all about garden implements...
Dave - mmm
Chris - ...and not women who sell their bodies for cash for sex *clears throat*

Guns ‘N’ Roses Paradise City - Former Guns ‘N’ Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum are now in Velvet Revolver with Scott Weiland, formerly of the Stone Temple Pilots - Pilots need to have 20-20 vision - Vision is what the eyes are there for - Eyes are a part of the body that work in pairs, and in that respect share something in common with ears and feet - “Ears” and “feet” are both words that can be associated with corn - Corn is produced from the crop wheat - If you add the letters “U” and “S” onto the end of “wheat” you get Wheatus - Wheatus had a big hit in 2001 with a cover of A Little Respect by Erasure - Erasure were made up of singer Andy Bell and keyboard goon Vince Clark - Vince Clark used to make up about one third of the duo Yazoo, along with Alison Moyet - Alison Moyet is a good example of a dominant front person from an 80’s duo, who then goes on to enjoy a successful solo career - and in that respect she shares a lot in common with George Michael - Which links us to George Michael and Too Funky
FLAWS
*Corn is produced from maize, not wheat (for more see above)
*Vince Clark did not use to make up about one third of the duo Yazoo - as there are only two in a duo. Dave tried to argue his way out of this one by saying he was going off weight and Alison Moyet’s mass, but of course a duo refers to a number of people and not someones size. Dave loses.
