Last night was one that will long live in the memory. Yep, Leeds United actually WON a football match. They beat Wolves 4-1 to move off the bottom of the Premiership and as you may have guessed, Chris was very pleased indeed. So much so that he got bladdered last night in the pub and overslept today by one and a half hours. He woke up at 6am to the sound of his phone ringing and his doorbell being rung continually. Executive show producer Joe Graham had to come round to get him and Chris said he had 17 missed calls on his phone. He had coincidentally overslept on the day a brand new driver was picking him up, who he’d never met before. By the sounds of Chris’s impression he was one of our continental friends. Chris said this guy had been sitting for ages outside saying (cue Avid Merrion type voice) - “I think he’s dead”. Chris was still a bit jarred when he went on the air and Dave said his eyes were like soles in the snow. Bolton fan Vermin Kay joined him to watch the Leicester - Bolton game on one TV in the pub last night, while Chris had one eye on the other TV where it was Sky’s midweek results service. He said he was very proud of all his Leeds boys and was wearing his green Leeds goalkeeper jersey to celebrate this morning. Unlike when Chris was on afternoons though, he didn’t bore us all to death with a goal montage at the start of the show. Nope, instead he promoted it to a prime-time slot and played the goals after 8:30 (as well as at 7:45 and just before the pips at 10 o’clock). Chris played them over Primal Scream and Movin' On Up. Dave found this very funny as Chris has been waiting since before Christmas to use that music. Chris predictably milked his moment of glory to death (cos lets face it they are still going down) and decided on a bit of a Buzz Off choice with a Leeds theme. It was club anthem Marching On Together, undoubtedly the most unpopular choice in the history of the feature. Dave buzzed on 4 seconds, Aled on 6 and Rachel on 7. Dominic and Jules (who don’t even play) legged it in to the studio to buzz it off themselves at 0:34 and 0:44 respectively. However Chris decided to abandon the rules of the feature and ignore the thousands of texts flooding in, playing the song in full. According to him the listener Buzz Off vote conveniently came in just after the song had finished. Like Chris, Dave also went out for a few beers last night but was playing the role of sensible husband and got back at 9pm. Rach was in bed by 8:30, Aled slept all evening and Juliette was watching the football scores come in on Ceefax. Rock and indeed roll. There’s more fixtures in the Premiership tonight and it’s Birmingham v Everton at St Andrews. Dave predicted a 3-1 win for his beloved Toffees.

Following last nights result, Marching On Together had replaced another track for today’s Buzz Off. Chris played a bit of this other tune after half seven. As soon as it started Rachel had her head in her hands. It was Coloured Kisses by Martika which Dave kindly described as muck and ruuuubish. Chris was loving it though. Dave said Chris was just stuck in a “strange late 80’s pop cave”. Chris said he just had an eclectic music collection unlike Dave. Chris reminded Dave of the time they went to the house of Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy, to find he had a PJ & Duncan album in his collection. There were first breakfast plays today for Starsailor’s excellent new single Four Is The Floor and the not quite as excellent new Jennifer Lopez and R Kelly song. Chris said he thinks it’ll grow on him though. There was also cool jazz on Radio 1 before 9am in the form of Wind Cries Mary by Jamie Cullum. Note the fact that now after he’s been nominated in the Brit category voted for by the R1 listeners, Radio 1 have to start playing some of his stuff. It’ll all stop next week though. It seems Comedy Dave is a bit of a Jamie Cullum fan nevertheless. Ahead of Daves new quiz at 8.15, Chris ran through some of Daves less than successful quiz show format attempts of yesteryear. These included the legendary Battlenips and of course “Breast-in-plants” - the feature where you had to correctly identify the page 3 girl from her breasts shoved through some plants. Borderline genius. However they were no match for what was to follow. Chris put on his wacky local DJ voice, Dom announced the word of the day was “spatula” and then after a piss-take of crappy local breakfast show features, Chris segwayed nicely into Daves new quiz (which he wasn’t too pleased about).

COMEDY DAVE’S REVERSE-A-WORD:
The rules of Daves quiz were quite simple. It was a 2 player game (Dom played Chris) where “there are lots of letters but only one winner”....erm, unless it’s a draw. Dave thought of Chris and Dave as guinea pigs for his on-air trial. Rachel was keeping score. Dave thought of her as the Reverse-a-word equivalent of Carol Vorderman, only with less on-air involvement. Dave spelt out words backwards and then Chris and Dom had to buzz in identifying what that word spells forwards (they had to reverse-a-word...you see what Daves done there). Texts came in saying “Sack Dave Now” and “This is Crap”. Dave said sometimes stuff just needs a while to bed in. Not this feature though as Rach, Chris and virtually everyone listening had had enough only 6 words in to the game. These words included tapas, elephant, helmet and satsuma. Dom won 4-2 to be crowned the inaugural (and most definitely the last) Reverse-a-word champion.
Chris - Reverse this Dave....P...A...R...C
(5 second pause)
Dave - Carp?


VALENTINES DAY UPDATE:
This is the state of play just 3 days from the big day. Dominic has booked a hotel and a babysitter to look after little Finton, but no restaurant as yet. Chris has got a B&B in Luton booked and now apparently Dave is starting to get his act together. Unfortunately Emma was listening yesterday though before she started work and heard Dave talking about how he has nothing prepared for Saturday. Dave normally waits till after 9 to discuss Valentines stuff but forgot and now is in big trouble at home. Dave said as long as he wears a suit though he thinks he’ll be alright. There has now been a slight problem regarding that though. He’s found out that the suit he wears at weddings, funerals etc needs a wash. Chris needs to go suit shopping before the weekend so Dave said he might tag along. Chris said to Dom that they do take the micky out of Dave but he does knows a lot about romanticism...
Dom - Do you?
Dave - Well I’ve done all this before you know. This isn’t the first Valentines Day that I’ve had a girlfriend...
(Dom laughs)
Chris - A Wife Dave
Dave - Oh yeah a wife
Dom - That’s evident
Chris - No it’s Emma

Dave said that it would just be stupid to have a wife called evident. Dom said he used to know someone in America called Randy Wedding. Chris had originally been leading into the collection of Valentines Tips that Dave recorded. He played three clips, including one saying cooking a Valentines meal “guarantees a quick fumble” and one saying that you should make your own Valentines Day card as they are far better than “shop muck”. Chris was impressed by Daves voice over and said that he would be perfect for Sainsburys. Dave did a quick audition (making life taste better and all that) and warned Gail Hipgrave he was after her gig.

RUN YOUR BRITS OFF - DAY 3:
INSIDE THE BRITS VIRTUAL BACKSTAGE SIMULATOR - Kelly a cute sounding 22 year old civil servant worker from Shepley in Kent. Would have been a good winner but could only manage to get 4 correct so she is out.
SCORE - 4

CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
SCOTT a truck driver from Sheffield 2
MIKE a milkman from St Helens 1

Chris got a letter today from Roy Walker, which Dave read out after 9:30. Roy basically congratulated Chris on his new show and had sent in some old Catchphrase t-shirts (in extra large for Chris of course). Rach was modelling one during todays quiz. Chris couldn’t concentrate on talking to the callers because her breasts were bulging out at him. He said in that t-shirt they enter the room 10 seconds before the rest of her body does.

Daves Tedious Link
Tone Loc Wild Thing - Wild Thing was also the title of a number one for The Troggs in 1966, the year that England won the World Cup and Kenneth Wolstenholme coined the now legendary phrase They Think It’s All Over - They Think It’s All Over is hosted by Nick Hancock - If you remove the first three letters of Hancock you’re left simply with * which is what wakes up many people living in rural areas - Rural areas tend to be less built up than urban areas and are usually more spread out to form a less densely populated big area - Big Area was a 1989 hit for Then Jerico - Jericho is a place that is featured in the bible - Bible rhymes with libel which is something that might require a court appearance and in that respect shares something in common with arson - Arsene Wenger is the manager of Arsenal - Arsenal took their name from Woolwich Arsenal in South East London - London Calling was a 1979 hit for The Clash - Clash rhymes with mash - For Mash Get Smash and Smash is kind of like powdered mash potato, perfect for people who either don’t know how to peel a potato, don’t own a potato masher or are currently enrolled in Further Education - for whom instant mash potato is both convenient and filling and is described by some of it’s greatest supporters as being (in some cases) “even better than the real thing” - Which links us to U2 and Even Better Than The Real Thing (The Perfecto Mix)
