Chris played the Bargain Hunt mix by Diffusion at the top of the show, possibly because on todays show, David namechecked Chris when talking to a contestant who wanted to become a Radio 1 DJ. Chris and the team were very knackered today as they went out for training with two of the Gym Idols. Chris went home afterwards to have a bath and put his head under the water and had to get out because he felt sick.
As reported today, Hear'Say have officially split up after a year and a half. The record company blame the heckling and insults from people and press for the split and that they have had enough. After Will and Gareth selling 132,000 copies of their duet, could their time be up very soon too. Remember Will sold over 1.2 million of his hit in the FIRST WEEK and Gareth 800,000. Hear'say got their 15 minutes of fame and they are away after making their money. It just remains to be seen what way Popstars : The Rivals will be managed. Danny said The public make you and the public break you. The public didnt really make, you were picked by 3 judges and it was an inevitability that the debut song would have charted at number 1. In my local record shop there still lies a lonely Hear'Say single Lovin Is Easy unsold gathering dust. Remember just £4 can help keep Myleene get an affordable bra at Dorothy Perkins.
Chris played a piece of the Will and Myleene duet and Will explained that he went to his old music teacher to learn how to sing the day before. Chris plays up to the point where Will strained his voice too much. Chris also reworked Pure & Simple and played that parody.
On 3:30pm Newsbeat, Chris asked to hear the clip of Craig David talking about the MOBO's (Meaningless racist award ceremony). Chris said that it was awfully edited and that Craig was talking out of his hole. Linley Gooding was the culprit.
Getting to Know You (Badly edited 50's Music jingle)
This was a quiz between Will and Aled over who knew the most about Chris and Dave. Was it to be Will, who has been with them for a year and a half or Aled, who has just started but has been on the show before.

(Answer - Hong Kong)
4. Has Chris worked abroad? (Aled - Yes, Will - Yes)
(Yes, in Luxembourg ten years ago)

Gym Idol
Nicole McLean - Aged 27 - From Southall - Gym Instructor - Single - Fave drink Vodka and Orange - Not a football fan - Likes Flirting, Sunbathing, G-Strings and Dancing - Chris likened her to a Thin and Prettier Sonia from Eastenders (I wouldnt take that as a compliment)
Mary Anne Hobbs sent Chris an email to tell him about the new bikers gallery on her homepage with a picture of Big Boss Andy Parfitt on a motorbike aged 17 and a couple of foxy pics of Mary Anne on a bike. I have to admit I find that one where shes all in leather on a Harley very nice indeed. Chris had a dream last night about him playing in a rock band and he did a guitar solo. When he hummed it, Dominic said it sounded familar so they decided to ring the mobile system that they talked about yesterday and Dave, Will, Dom and Chris did the music with their voices down the phone. Unfortunately it replied saying it did not know what it was.
Celebs birthday are from Julie Andrews, 67, Harry Hill, 38 and Keith Duffy who is 28. The Boat Trip actress Victoria Silvestd will be on the TV show. Dave and Chris lay into an emailer who used Text Speak instead of writing properly. If this review was in text speak, my mind would go mad. Chris hates people who write Happy Xmas on Christmas Cards and Dave hates people who write mate as M8.
Daves Tedious Link
Longpigs She Said - The word Said rhymes with Fred as in Right Said Fred - Fred Talbot was the weatherman on This Morning with Richard and Judy on the Albert Dock in Liverpool - Albert was the first name of Legendary egghead Einstein - Other famous people with stein at the end of their name are Frankenstein and Rick Stein - Rick Stein is a chef - Chef was a name of a series starring Lenny Henry - Lenny is married to Dawn French - Which links us to PM Dawn and Set Adrift On Memory Bliss
Chris - They had a studio in the Radio Topshop and I would be DJ, it was my full time job. There was a format to it like you had to play oldies between 11 and 12 and you had play certain music at certain times. In the last half hour before the shop shut, we used to have to play love songs. So they ran it like a radio show. I used to be in there every day and I used to think This is Balls because I could see all the customers coming in and it was predominantly a youth market, not as young as it is now but it was certainly heading that way. Im like People dont want to hear The Power Of Love. They want to hear some funky stuff so I used to get all the chart hits before they were released. But that wasnt good enough for me. So I had to go off and buy some white label stuff so there was one shop in Leeds I used to go to, its still going now. I used to go down there on my lunch break two or three times a week and ask what they had. The great myth about me is that im not interested in music is hilarious. I would listen to all these bizarre imports, some dance stuff and some foriegn tracks and thats where I first heard of A Homeboy, A Hippie and A Funky Dread, Total Confusion and Freedom, Great Records. Crystal Waters Gypsy Woman, I had that weeks before anyone else and I paid £7.99 for it.
Dave - Oh God, I really hated that
Chris - The only other way I could get hold of brand new records that noone else had heard of was by taping Pete Tongs Essential Selection. What I did was I remember he played PM Dawn and Set Adrift on Memory Bliss, so what I did was play the tape to just to the very end and when he starts talking you pressed reset on the counter and then you rewind it back to the bit where he stops talking in the intro. So I did it one day and I never said that I had recorded it off the radio cos its naughty.
Dave - Home taping is killing music (no think you'll find its Will Young, Dave)
Chris - And for two weeks everybody thought it was me mixing a rap record over Spandau Ballet and thought I was really good mixer.
Dave - So you were a key player in Instore Entertainment
Chris - Oh yeah, I revolutionized that and then I left to go to proper radio and they scrapped the dull format and introduced dance music so when you go into any Topshop and here some funky tune, you have me to thank.
