Technical Issues & Rachel's Fantasies (and Scott's too!)
Chris started the show with a broken mic and Dave opening the show. You could hear Chris faintly in the background. Rachel scurried about getting new mics until Chris sorted it out by plugging it back in. Chris and Dave went out for Christmas lunch yesterday. Chris also had Ham & Pea soup - and garlic bread!
DAVE: "It's the future!"
'Rachel' (ie Chris in a really bad brummie accent) said this morning that she fancied George Clooney (because of the new Ocean's 12 Film)
Chris: "What If it Was George Clooney and Brad Pitt?"
Chris (in Rachel Voice): "Ooooh Great! I'll have both of them!.... on the show!"
Chris asked anyone listening in America who knows George or Brad to email in to Rachel and give her their phone numbers.
Dave thought Chris sounded tired today. Dom and Carrie Agreed, but then Chris just said Schmee back in her face.
Chris commented on Dom's news update today by saying from January 5th they were seamless but today he messed up on a story
People texted in about the Scott Mills story from the day before. Chris found a business card in Studio 1 the other day and figured out it was to Scott. On the reverse of the card it said 'Call Me xxx'. They realised it was to Scott when Aled rang up the number and asked who they gave their card to. Scott didnt mention it on the show yesterday and when Rachel texted him late last night his responce was that he wanted to forget about it. But Chris being Chris decided he didn't want to forget about it so shortly after 7:15 he revealed he came across a reason why Scott might want to forget about it. Chris had seen a picture of the man and realised that Scott didn't want to be involved as the man was a fatty. Chris knows from experience that Scott doesn't like fatties. Rachel defended Scott by saying he was very busy and didn't have the time for relationships.
Rachel: "I've deleted the message, I was going to read it out to you."
Chris: "Roughly, what did it say?: 'I Don't like fatties, Rachel'?"
Rachel: "It was exactly that actually, yes!"
Scott will be joined on Monday with Cilla Black...
More Radio 1 Fantasies & Buzz Off
Chris was sad that the Scott story had finished so he decided to open the lines to new stories from listeners who had copped off with Radio 1 DJs.
Chris: "Maybe you've had a fumble with Mary-Anne."
Dave: "Is that a good idea?"
Chris: "No, probably not really."
Rachel: "It would be funny!"
Chris: "Maybe you've been having a torrid 4 year affair with Jo Whiley! - I know i'd like to! Maybe it's an Ex-Radio 1 DJ?"
Dave: "Now that's better!"
Chris: "Maybe for years and years, you were the secret wife of Noel Edmonds! Living abroad in the hills of Switzerland!"
Dave: "Did he have a secret wife?"
Chris: "I don't know, if he did it was probably a secret."
Dave: "Ah, alright, I get you now!"
Rachel was still waiting for George Clooney's phone number at the end of the link, so pleaded to any Americans to hand it over.
Chris: "Email to Rachel: 'Yes, hi, I'm George Clooney's personal make-up stylist's nextdoor neighbour's friend. [Rachel Laughs] And i'll introduce you to him later.' - Watch those emails flooding now, Dave!"
Just before Buzz Off, Chris read out a text: 'Dave was very keen to get rid of that subject: 'Have you ever copped off with a Radio 1 DJ'' Chris explained it was to do with a trucker called Terry, Dave was very drunk and it was in his early days of being on the radio. Dave added by saying it was a roadshow at Cleethorpes.
Chris: "But what about Dominic's tales with Angela Rippon?"
Dom: "That's folklore now, that, 'The Rippon Story'"
Rachel interupted the fun saying Angela Rippon was a mature lady and they shouldn't talk about it. End of Discussion!
Todays Buzz Off then, and today was a 'classic' from the Chemical Brothers with Block Rocking Beats (also from the year Chris joined Radio 1, 1997). Chris loves the track and begged people to text in with messages of Buzz Off. The rest of the team seemed to agree with Chris although only 61% of the listeners voted Buzz On.
Just before the 7:30 Newsbeat, Chris and the gang had a discussion about who Little Beaver (featured in Joss Stone's Super Duper Love) actually was. They came to the conclusion that he was actually a guitarist and not a musical water loving creature. The talk continued straight after the news after Dom had searched for Little Beaver on the internet and come up with Eager Little Beaver. Dave found out his real name was Willy. Chris demanded photographs and videos of Little Willy Beaver in action - they were going to watch them after the show.
Nope - this ain't the Little Beaver in question!
Girl (and Dom) Problems
Chris then had a moan about the girls in the studio. The gang sent Joce to the breakfast café down the road and she hadn't returned with exactly what Chris asked for...
Chris (in 'Joce' accent): "Oh, they didn't have any Cake Bread so what they did was, they made 2 sandwiches."
Chris: "They What Joce?"
Chris (in 'Joce' accent): "They didn't have any Cake Bread."
Chris: "What the hell's Cake Bread?"
Chris (in 'Joce' accent): "That's what you asked for, Cake Bread!"
Chris: "Cake Bread? No, I said I want a sausage sandwich in a Bread Cake!"
Chris (in 'Joce' accent): "Oh, thats what I said, Bread Cake, Cake Bread - I don't know!"
Carrying on from the George Clooney talk from earlier, Joce added that she preferred Matt Damon (pronounced like Gammon in Joce's accent apparently).
Chris recapped on the lineup for the Radio 1 Top of the Pops Christmas Part, this Sunday. Theres Jamelia, Razorlight, McFly, Lemar, Natasha Bedingfield, Girls Aloud, Kylie and another act to be added to the list. Dave didnt catch onto the idea of who the mystery performer would be. Chris said "They're confirmed but we don't know who it will be." Dave still wouldn't get it even with Rachel doing large 'X' signs in the background. But would Dave be the only who doesn't know who the mystery act is? Dom had a go at guessing just before the news. He didn't get it either, although Dave had figured it out. And totally off Topic:
Carrie: "I had a bit of peanut in my mouth."
End of completely off-topic statement. Dom still didn't get who it was after the news even though Chris, Carrie and Dave were all throwing big clues towards him. He tried to prove to Chris that he did know it imagining that Chris would forget it. Would Mr Moyles have it? Never! Dom said 'Is it Kylie?' and the team laughed along.
Chris: "So who is it?"
Dom: "Well, either G4 or that other bloke!"
Everyone: "STEVE!
Chris and the team had a go at Dom for being rather stupid. They also recorded a special interview for the 8:30 Newsbeat:
Chris: "You've just embarassed yourself in front of 7 and a half million people, how stupid do you feel?"
Dom: "I feel I was let down by my team for doing ridiculous rhymes that bore no relevance to the letter X."

Christmassy Things
Next up for discussion was the Christmas Advent Calender, today being day 9. Which Z List Panto star could it be today? None other than Bobby Ball! (performing in Peter Pan this Christmas in Peterbrough). Chris thought it sounded like Max from Max and Paddy/Phoenix Nights.
rock on <s>Maxy!</s> Tommy!
A Blast from the not so distant past came shortly after the Jay-Z record when Chris replayed the brilliant Dale Winton (Jon Culshaw) parody of 99 Problems. Dave called it on the outskirts of genius, I must agree!
Top of the Pops party time and the first chance of the day to win some VIP Tinsel tickets for Sundays Christmas Party. Today's contestant was Victoria from Milton Keynes (she wasn't sure where in Milton Keynes she came from - only a little bit) Chris told her he used to live in Miltion Keynes, she didn't believe him but for the first time ever Chris wasn't telling a lie. He used to live in Emerson Valley which he said sounded very American (although it didn't look it!). Victoria wanted to see McFly and take her brother or sister (cue team to go ahh) even though they were both over 18. After a thorough grilling from Mr Moyles, came the quiz.
Victoria chose the 'Number 1's' category. Questions included:
Who has had more number 1 singles, U2 or Kylie? [Kylie]
Which legendary female solo singer holds the record for most number 1 singles? [Madonna]
Which boyband hold the record for most entries to enter at number 1? [Westlife]
Which ex-Pop Idol contestant is the youngest male to enter at number 1? [Gareth Gates]
How many number 1 singles has Eminem had? [5]
Which actress did Robbie Williams duet with on 'Something Stupid' [Nicole Kidman]
Who reached number 1 this year with the single 'These Words'? [Natasha Bedingfield]
Who's had more number 1 singles, Busted or Destiny's Child? [Busted]
Which Band recently had a number 1 album with 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb'? [U2]
Which singer has had 2 number 1 singles this year with 'Burn' and 'Yeah'? [Usher]
The Streets have had a number 1 hit, What was it? [Dry Your Eyes]
(Highlight the contents of the brackets at the end of each question with your cursor to see the correct answer.)
Victoria got 8 questions right (getting the Eminem and Boyband questions wrong) but she would have to wait and see what Jo's, Colin and Edith's and Scott's contestants got to see if she was in the running for a set of Tinsel Tickets for Sundays Party which will be broadcast to the rest of us unfortunate souls on BBC1, Friday 17th at 7:30pm!
More 'Random' Things
Just before the news Chris introduced a new temporary game called 'Make Dave Laugh'. If Chris made Dave laugh, Dave would have to fork over a quid. If he didn't, Chris would hand it over. Dom was the judge. Dave didn't laugh. Dom next then, and boy did he laugh in that smooth Dom style! In the end, Chris decided Dom should just give Dave the pound. The laughter came from an email from a listener- that's the last we heard of that one...
King of the Love Boat, that's Dom, played an exclusive mix this morning of the Love Boat Theme Tune featuring the goals from the previous night's football action. While Chris and Dom were overjoyed with the tune, Dave was disgusted. His favourite retro theme tune had been 'tampered' with.
Chris contemplated on getting a tattoo this morning. Continuing from his fantasies of Fearne Cotton (is Sophie listening these days?) he decided to get 'FC' tattooed on his body. He made sure everyone knew it stood for Fearne Cotton, and not Football Club, or French Candy.... Dom said he should get a 'LUFC' tattoo which would serve a double purpose, being 'Leeds United Football Club' and 'Love U Fearne Cotton'. Dave suggested he put it on his arm. Chris said he would get it done in full on his arse. Dom said that would be too expensive as you pay per letter. Joce could imagine Chris with an anchor tattoo on his arm. He replied by saying he wasnt Popeye. Some slow texters too (who had obviously just woken up) pointed out to Chris that 'Love You Fearne Cotton' would be LYFC and that LUFC was the abbreviation for Leeds United Football club. Someone needs to set their alarm clock a bit earlier!
Tedious Time:
The Band Len are from Toronto, Canada. Canada is now the biggest country in the world now that the USSR no longer exists. If you remove the first S from exists you get exits which are what you need in any public building in order to escape in the event of a fire. Fire is a word often associated with the words ready and aim. Aim is an anagram of the Italian word 'mia' which literally translated means 'Mine'. Minesweepers are used by the Navy to detect mines at sea. Sealions are one of the cleverest and most dextrous marine animals which are able to perform complicated tasks such as balancing balls and stuff on their noses. Noses rhymes with roses which are traditionally given on Valentines Day. Valentines Day happens on February the 14th. 14 divided by 2 is 7. Seven and the Ragged Tiger is the title of a Classic Album from Duran Duran. Duran Duran are one of the few bands in the world who's name is based on the repition of one single syllable word, as are Wet Wet Wet. Wet Wet Wet had a '94 mega hit with 'Love is all Around' and if you had Love All Around or wanted to spread your love all around, you could say that your Love Spreads, whuich links us to this mornings Tedious Link track, which is 'Love Spreads' by the Stone Roses.
Flawless?
Nope: 2 Problems:
1) Syllable: Duran has 2 syllables whereas Dave said it had 1.
2) Russia is the largest country in the world, not Canada
Apart from them, completely seamless!
Half Time Brit Talk
[echo]Lets Get Ready to Raaaaaaammmmmmmmmmbbbbbblllllleeeee:[/echo]
Today featurinbg a Hayseed Dixie cover of Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out'
Todays half time featured a contiunation on the 'Rachel is a Monster' conversation from earlier. It didn't last long though and was soon replaced by the topic of the Brits Voting Form which Chris recieved through the post. Chris and the team had to put forward 5 names for each category on his form for nomination at next year's awards. Here's what they put:
British Male Solo Artist
> Will Young
> Graham Coxon
> Lemar
> Morrisey
> Cliff Richard (Their 'Stupid' One for all the Mums!)
British Female Solo Artist
> Joss Stone
> Rachel Stevens
> Estelle
> Jamelia
> Natasha Bedingfield
Since Halftime had carried on for quite some time now (due to excessive rambling about choosing of artists) they decided to play a record and come back to the voting, but due to the high number of competitors for Best British Group, they called it off and said they would come back to it tomorrow.
Say... 'Cheese!'
The (Not So) Big Sports Quiz & Carpark Catchphrase
After the 9:30 News, Chris and Dave challenged their Sport Princess, Carrie, with some Sporting questions they were asked at the Sporting Luncheon yesterday.
1) Which football player has represented England over 3 decades? [The late Emlyn Hughes & Peter Shilton]
2) There are 10 pairs of England Football players, past and present, black and white, who share the same surname. who are they? [Chris and Dave came up with: Ashley & Joe Cole, Carlton & Paul Palmer, Scott & Paul Parker, Mark & Ian Wright, and then gave up!]
(As before, highlight the contents of the brackets at the end of each question with your cursor to see the correct answer.)
Carpark Catchphrase: after some Keane Karaoke
Today's Contestants were:
1) Phil, driving a 'Little Peugeot Van' with a weedy horn.
2) Genevieve, a student driving a Golf Estate.
Chris commented on Genevieve's lovely name (it's french don't you know!). She also explained that she was picking up Fox Poo for her studies.
Dave: "Isn't that what the Council is supposed to do?"
Chris thought the world had gone mad after Genevieve started singing the Noddy theme Tune (prompted by Aled saying her horn sounded like Noddy's)
Phil got the first catchphrase right (That's how the Cookie Crumbles),
and Genevieve got the second (A Spanner in the Works).
The final catchphrase was taken by Genevieve to win the game.
They were both promptly cut off due to lack of time. Beautiful.

Chris thought the world had gone mad after Genevieve started singing the Noddy theme Tune (prompted by Aled saying her horn sounded like Noddy's)
Phil got the first catchphrase right (That's how the Cookie Crumbles),
and Genevieve got the second (A Spanner in the Works).
The final catchphrase was taken by Genevieve to win the game.
They were both promptly cut off due to lack of time. Beautiful.
Next Week: Celebrity Car Park Catchphrase - with Celebrities supposedly!
