DOMINIC BYRNE’S DOWNLOAD NEWS AND MINTY FRESHNESS:

As part of the 7 o Clock News bulletin (and consequently, every bulletin throughout the show), there was a special extension to the news. For one day only, Dom reported on the recent breaking news involving the Radio 1 Download Chart.<p>For those who don’t have a clue what’s happened in the past week, Chris and the gang released Mouldy Lookin’ Stain’s smash hit song ‘Dogz Don’t Kill People (Wabbitz Do) on legal download sites for a week. People have downloaded the song for a certain price with all profits going to Comic Relief.<p>Last night, a rather croaky sounding Scott Mills rand up Chris with the good news that MLS had knocked U2 off the top spot and become the UK’s official number 1 Download.<p>Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you can hear Chris’ appearance on the Download chart by clicking here. And now that it has been removed from legal download sites, we have uploaded Mouldy Lookin Stain once again. See here for more information.<p>The fact that the song has been removed from legal Download sites means that there is no chance of it being number one next week, let alone in the chart at all!

‘Don’t look at me…’<p>Dom was also the target of another link within the first half hour of the show. It started when Dave asked Rachel what she was eating. She replied in a bunged up style saying ‘It’s one of Dominic’s Mints’ but due to her bunged up style it sounded more like mince.
Chris: ‘Dominic brings mince into the studio’
Dave: ‘Mints as in Mint’
Chris: ‘Oh, not as in…’
Dave ‘…Mince – not like Shepherds pie’
*Rachel laughs*
<p>They are curiously strong mints too, apparently. At this point Dom walks in to defend himself and offers Dave a mint:
Dom: ‘They’re curiously strong Dave, and I suggest you have one.’<p>Chris and Dave take the mints and receive instructions on how to suck on a mintto it’s full potential:<p>1) Put it in your mouth.
2) Suck on it.
3) 5 seconds later, breathe in through your nose very quickly.<p>Dave: ‘Ooh! It stings a little at the back.’
*Rachel laughs (again!)
Dom: ‘They’re curiously strong!’
<p>Chris has another go and ends up snorting loudly on the mic:<p>*Chris Snorts Loudly*
Dom: ‘That’s the sound of health’
Chris:‘It doesn’t really have the same effect with me does it?’ *continues to snort*
Dave: ‘Roll the tape Sony Award Judges! We’re coming for ya!’
*More Snorts and Laughs*

Image
Could these be the curiously strong mints as mentioned on the Chris Moyles Show?<p>The mint discussion continued after Maroon 5, just before Buzz Off, where Chris discussed how he hated people who ate mints. He said he doesn’t swallow them which caused Aled and Dave to say he should crunch them (Chris doesn’t do that either). Aled also said he should suck it till it dissolves to nothing.<p>Chris: ‘No I Can’t – Do you Want a Slap?’
*Everyone laughs*
<p>
BUZZ OFF: KAROKE STYLE AND WHEN ALED MET GERI:
A classic Buzz Off today which started with Chris teasing the team. He first played Joe * and Jennifer Warnes before stopping it and saying it wasn’t the buzz off track. They were mortified as ‘Up Where We Belong’ is Dave and Rachel’s famous Karaoke song. Chris then played the next song – Mike Oldfield and Moonlight Shadow. There were more songs when Chris said it wasn’t the track once again. He then gave the team the choice of the songs that he had started playing before. The team chose Up Where we Belong so Chris started it.<p>Chris expected Rachel and Dave to sing along, but Rachel didn’t. He started the song again but she said it was too early in the morning. Dave sang along though and they were so busy singing that they forgot to buzz off, so the track was played in full.<p>On to the first of today’s guests then. This was supposed to be played on yesterday’s show but due to the events that occurred, they decided to hold it off until today and after the huge build up, I wasn’t too impressed. It was very short and sounded like it should have had an adjoining video. Aled went to her house on Tuesday and confessed that he was a big fan of the Spice Girls and following his meeting, he said he was a personal fan (and friend) of Geri. Chris and Dave laughed about this saying how awful a night out with Geri and Aled would be – Dave said he’d rather go to the dentist.<p>They talked dogs, Top of the Pops, Chris (Geri even dreamed she cuddled Chris in her arms last night!). After playing her new song ‘Ride it’ (which is quite good for her) we went back to the interview and a tour of the house. Aled seemed to find it funny to flush Geri’s toilet on the microphone. Chris made fun of Aled for his strange interviewing technique. There were also strange texts coming in such as Dave’s favourite: ‘Does Geri always have loud music on when guests come round?’ (referring to the fact that Aled had mixed a number of Geri’s hits in to the ‘package’ – it’s an industry term apparently).

That’s Geraldine Estelle Halliwell – or Geri as she’s now known.<p>CAROL VORDERMAN’S SCHOOL OF DANCE (AND MATH):
Carol was a much better guest than Geri and came in just after 8:15. She explained to Chris that she was very tired as she’d only had 3 hours of sleep. Chris asked if she’d been out on the lash last night – she said yes but she didn’t want to say where (Chris presumed she forgot).<p>Carol’s currently involved in the second series of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC 1 and survived the first week of the vote (scraping through by coming second to last in the public vote). Carol asked if Chris would have got involved with the programme – he said he wasn’t the best dancer in the world. Dave said he should partner with Michelle McManus and Chris said he’d probably be better with a WWE Wrestler. They gave their own views on the other dancers in the programme.<p>People include:

> Esther Rantzen (Chris says she’s old and should remember when the dancers were popular)
> Julian Cleary (who Chris thought was rubbish last week)
> Sarah Manners (Casualty actress who Chris hadn’t heard of)
> Aled Jones (We’re Walking in the air!)
> Denise Lewis (Carol’s top tip – Chris also says she has no breasts)
> Roger Black
> Jill Halfpenny
> Quentin Wilson (went out last week)
> Diarmuid Gavin (he gave a lot of effort last week apparently)
> Carol Vorderman<p>Carol thinks she will be out this week.<p>Image
Will Carol dance herself to success on Saturday? Check them out – dancing (and prancing) - 6:35 on BBC 1.<p>After 8:30, Carol helped Dave with his math problem he had the day before. Here’s a recap of the question: What is 1111 x 1111. Carol knew the answer straight away (different from Dave)<p>Dave: ‘We’ve got a ‘Knobbo’ Board’
Chris: ‘The Paper is called ‘Flippy’’
<p>Dave did his sums on the ‘Knobbo’ board (which Carol was very impressed with – that’s the board – not his sums). Carol tested Dave with his times tables, asking him several quick fire questions (most of which he got right – albeit with slight delay)<p>Chris started the Countdown numbers game – can you beat Dave and Carol?<p>Dave’s numbers were: 50, 75, 3, 10, 6, 10. And the Target was: 256<p>*Countdown theme plays while Chris describes Dave and Carol’s Clothing*<p>Dave got 250 whereas Carol was spot on with 256.<p>Carol also told the team the latest Countdown Student Joke:

How does Carol Vorderman get rid of Constipation?
> She Works it out with a Pencil.
<p>Dave and Chris asked if they could be in Dictionary Corner – but didn’t realise how they could search through the dictionaries so quickly. Carol left, mentioning her number for Strictly Come Dancing: 0901 121 1102.<p>Image
Carol, Richard Whiteley and her ‘Knobbo’ Board<p>TEDIOUS LINK AND NAME THAT (TRAVIS) TUNE:
Here we go then:<p>The Smiths were led my Morrissey, who this year played solo gigs at Reading and Leeds. Leads of a different type are what you might have hanging by your back door if you own several dogs. Dogs have a far more sophisticated sense of smell than humans, which is why they are so good at being sniffer dogs and sniffing out drugs. Drugs are often prescribed to alleviate pain. If you add an ‘s’ to pain, you get Spain, which is where David and Victoria now live. Liv Tyler is a famous actress and the daughter of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. Aerosmith scored a top 13 hit in 1989 with Love in an Elevator. Elevator is what the Americans call a lift. Lift rhymes with sift, which is what you would be doing if you were panning for gold. Gold is measured in carats. Carrots of a different type are eaten by rabbits. Rabbits are indigenous to the British Isles and come in a number of different colours, the most popular being White and Brown. And when you think of the word Brown, in the context of iconic Rock front men from yesteryear, who’ve gone on to enjoy an impressive solo career, you think of Ian Brown which links us to Ian Brown and this morning’s Tedious Link track, F.E.A.R.<p>Flaws?
Yup: Rabbits are not indigenous to the British Isles. (This has been raised several times before)<p>Image
Our very own MC is in charge of the Tedious Links section – go there now!<p>Half time then: Tomorrow, the show will come live from Maida Vale with Travis, live in session. They will perform a variety of their greatest hits, including one chosen by you the listener. Chris and Dave tested Aled on his Travis knowledge.<p>Ones Aled Knows:: Sing, Driftwood, Why Does it Always Rain on Me, Re-Offender, Walking in the Sun, Coming Around, Flowers in the Window.<p>Aled Doesn’t Know:: Writing to Reach You.<p>He knows quite a few then!

Image
Travis, Live from Maida Vale on the Chris Moyles Show – tomorrow from 7am!<p>CAR PARK CATCHPHRASE:<p>Janine (on the docks in Southampton) 0
Wendy (a nurse in Brighton) 2

Roy made fun of Chris’ Carol Vorderman fantasies. And Dom asked him if he’d bought the MLS download – he said there’s nothing he’d rather do less. Janine was told off for not saying what Aled and Joce told her to when greeted by Chris. Dom predicted Wendy would win, and in return, Dave sided with Janine who replied with an expression that sounded like she had fallen off a cliff.<p>Wendy won the game hands down – 2 in a row with 2 rather easy catchphrases. Chris plays Sugababes before Rachel says he could play Graham Coxon. He stops the Sugababes and plays Graham Coxon as the last song. Dom likes Graham Coxon too – but he is troubled by the line ‘Dean Gaffney going blind’. Oh well!
