Chris was feeling very perky today, saying that the chicks dig his early morning gravelly voice. Dave wasn’t feeling quite so good though - he’s got the flu, which kicked in on Saturday and meant he went to bed early at 9pm. Rock n roll Dave said that cos he got so much extra sleep, he managed to get up in time for The Premiership on Sunday morning. Chris actually began the show with football chat today. He firstly had a go at Nemone (who he had only just found out supported Man U), then looked ahead to tonight’s big relegation ding dong dogfight at Elland Road - Leeds versus Leicester. Chris will be down the boozer to watch it and is referring to it as a “six pointer six pinter”. Aled (vice chairman of Aberystwyth Town don’t forget) said that he had never understood the term “six pointer” (surprise surprise) and asked Chris and Dave to explain it to him. They were fighting a losing battle from the beginning as there was no way in a million years that Aled had any grasp of what they were saying. Both Chris and Dave had separate and collective goes at educating him on the subject, including an analogy involving hair sprays that Dave termed a “six canner”. I happen to agree with Neil Bowman from Great Yarmouth, who e-mailed in to say that was the worst explanation of a six pointer that he’d ever heard in his life. One text message told Chris and Dave to leave it and to just let Aled get back to his “cross stitching”. The welsh one wasn’t in Chris’s good books anyway, after showing his clear displeasure at his choice of Buzz Off track this morning. It was the classic Burning Love by Elvis from September 1972. Aled buzzed in first on 0:28, Rache on 1:25 and Dave on 1:40. The listeners earlier buzzed in on bang on 60 seconds, a result of Chris’s new voting system that counts the listeners vote if there are more Buzz Off texts than Buzz On ones after a minute. Aled said that to be truthful, he wasn’t much of an Elvis fan.
Aled - I work at Radio 1 for a reason
Chris - Cos you can’t get a job elsewhere?
Aled - Yeah Radio 2 was full actually...no, it’s cos I don’t want to listen to Elvis, I wanna listen to today’s music
Chris made Aled squirm by forcing him to guess classic Elvis lyrics from his list of options. Aled didn’t know them and said he spoke for a generation. Chris added “yeah, of toddlers”. Seen as though Aled went to college in Swansea, Chris said he might have been aware of this mornings road on One Road Travel.
Chris - I believe Aled is aware of * Road...
(Jules laughs)
Chris - ...cos he knows Swansea very well of course. * Aled? (talking to him through the glass), Do you know *?...* Road in Swansea?
Dave - He’s giving his thumbs up to *
(Jules and Dom laugh)
At 8:25 Chris played Natasha Bedingfield’s new single, Single (guh huh). She was a guest on Vernon Kay’s first three hour weekend show last Saturday. Chris was listening and said he thought Vernon did a good job. I only caught twenty minutes of him on Sunday but was impressed with what I heard. Chris said Vernon asked Natasha what the first album she’d ever bought was. She replied with Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder, which Chris didn’t believe for one minute. He said everybody’s first album and gig are never even half as good as that. His first gig was of course Nik Kershaw at Leeds Queen’s Hall. Dave’s first was Wham at The Colosseum in Hong Kong, Juliette’s was also Wham (in Birmingham), Aled’s first was Michael Jackson at Wembley, Dom’s first was Madonna at Wembley and Rachel’s first was Simple Minds.
ONE BIG WEEKEND IN DERRY - TICKET WINNERS:>>>>
All week Radio 1 is giving away tickets for The Dance Day (Sat April 24th) at One Big Weekend in Derry. Performing live will be Faithless, Pete Tong & Seb Fontaine, Judge Jules & Fergie, Arman Van Buren, Agnelli & Nelson, Tall Paul & Col Hamilton, Deep Fried Funk and a selection of Celtronic DJ’s. Tickets are released this Saturday in Derry at 5pm. Because Judge Jules will be on the air on Radio 1 at that time, some genius upstairs had come up with the idea of having him record “funny” cue-to-call drops that could be played into each daytime show...
Chris - By the way if there’s any doctors listening you might need to give us tips on how to sow our sides back together again after this hilarious line
(Plays Clip) Judge Jules - More clout than Wayne Rooney’s family reunion
The first five through on the phones after Chris played the clip at 8:30 were Anne Marie from Belfast, Stacey from Bristol, Tony from Derry, Amanda from Cannock and David from Taunton.
CHART UPDATE WITH WES:
It was Wes’s producer Lynne’s birthday yesterday. He was out with her last night (as was Rachel) and wasn’t pleased with himself as he ended up smoking. Chris thought he was going to say he ended up snogging Lynne, but Wes said that would be sick - like Chris snogging Rachel (cue vomiting sounds from Chris). Wes counted down this weeks top ten from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/top40 while sitting in front of his PC...
Chris - Do you know the names of the number one band this week?
Wes - I do. Would you like me to tell you?
Chris - Yes
Wes - It’s McFly
Chris (laughs) - No their individual names you pillock
Wes desperately tried to find the details on the net, but only managed to click onto McFly.co.uk - the official website of the McFly sailing team. Chris had to tell him in the end. It’s Harry, Tom, Danny and Dougie (which Dave thought Chris was joking about) in the band. You can Listen Again to yesterday’s chart by following this link to The BBC Radio Player.
(Hi This Is Wes)
Chris went out for a light lunch yesterday with his girlfriend Sophie and her mum Jill. He had a Guess Who from the restaurant that they were at, which Juliette correctly identified just over a minute into the game. It turned out to be that sexy minx herself, Miss Rachel Stevens. Chris said that when he had paid the bill and him, his missus and her mum were about to leave, they noticed a pepperami photographer across the road by the bus stop. Chris and Sophie were both worried about him snapping them as they’ve not really been photographed much together before (with the exceptions being here, here and here of course). Jill was absolutely wetting herself as Chris and Sophie both deliberated on how to deal with the situation. It didn’t matter in the end though as both got snapped anyway, with Chris saying it was both embarrassing and intimidating. After a bit he’d had enough so popped outside the shop they were in to tell this particular pepperami fella to bugger off. He did, but only because Chris told him that Rachel Stevens was in the restaurant down the road. Chris therefore issued an apology to Rachel in case she had been snapped when leaving the restaurant. Not really the great punchline we were expecting after this five minute story, but when listening back second time to review it the link wasn’t as boring as I’d first thought (I must have been too tired to fully grasp what was being said). Chris and Dave went to another charidee auction event on Friday night (although of course they “don’t like to talk about it”) and Chris had a Guess What to play - a Guess What he bought. He was considering whether to tell it or not on the air this morning.
Rachel - Why don’t we play a record and then you can decide?
Chris - You’re obsessed with this record playing business
Dave (interrupting) - It’s almost as if it’s a music radio station
Chris (laughing) - It’s almost like after the show you have a meeting and they tell you off on a daily basis for me not playing enough records
(Dave laughs)
Chris then blabbered on randomly for a couple of minutes, saying that he was simply thinking to himself on the air. Rachel said he could do that while a record was playing.
Dave - We’ve done this before Rachel, paddle around and then hope by the end of the link that we’ve thought about what we were gonna say in the first place
Chris (shouting) - Paddle around?
(Rachel and Dave laugh)
Rachel - This is the breakfast show Dave. We shouldn’t be paddling
Chris - Why not? Paddling is fine
Dave had a Guess Who, spotted by himself yesterday in the most glamorous location of them all - Tesco in North London. It was former Arsenal, Spurs and Leeds manager George Graham, now a pundit on Sky. Dave said he saw George on three separate occasions yesterday - 1) Firstly in the fruit and veg department, 2) Next buying easter eggs and 3) Last but not least paying at the check out. Dom had his own celebrity supermarket spotting...
Dom - I saw Anna Friel in dried fruit
(Rachel and Juliette laugh)
Dave - Did you?
Chris - I haven’t seen that movie!! When does that come out, or is it straight to video?
Dom (laughing) - It’s a very good film
MIKE VERSUS MOYLES:
<img src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/images/djs/moyles/official8_dec03_80x60.jpg".
(Mike from The Streets and Chris)
As I mentioned in last Friday’s review, Mike Skinner from The Streets called Chris a knobhead on Coxy’s show on Friday afternoon. Chris obviously wasn’t allowed to repeat Mr Skinner’s rude word on the air, instead saying he called him a “door handle head”, a “knocker head” and a “handle head”. Chris was a bit annoyed that Skinner had had a go, cos he said he was simply giving his own opinion last week and actually likes their new record. Dave said all the show did was merely host the forum for opinion...
Dave - We’re not in the business of antagonising people
(Rachel laughs)
Chris wants to make peace with Mike though as he said they are bound to bump into each other in Derry at some point. Rachel (very optimistically) still thinks they will end up friends...
Chris - If really he’s got a problem with anyone it should be with you
Dave - Who?
Chris (laughs) - You
Dave - That’s an outrageous thing to say!!
Chris - Cos you said you think his records are all right, it’s just a shame that he’s on them
Dave - It’s just my opinion
GREAT EDITION OF CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
RYAN a van driver parked outside a sandwich shop in Ramsbottom (15 mins from me) 2
CARIE ANNE a gobby and ultra competitive top heavy receptionist from Rugby 1
**Chris (to Dave) - She sounds like Tanya Turner from Footballers Lives
Carie Anne - I’m a bit like her in her personality as well
Chris - Really?
Carie Anne - Yeah
Chris - Oh right, I’ll talk to you off the air about 5 past 10 my luv
(Everyone laughs)
The fact Chris ignored Carie Anne’s horn on question two didn’t really endear him much to her, especially as the show broke with tradition and had prizes up for grabs on today’s game. Ryan won the new James Bond game Everything Or Nothing for the PS2 and a 007 James Bond digital camera. Carrie however was more interested in the bloke who had just pulled over to the layby that she was in...
Carie Anne - Oh someones just come to meet me at the layby
Chris - Right seriously, here’s my advice to you Carie Anne. Get off the phone, lock your door and when it’s safe to get out of that junction pull off...if you pardon the expression
(Chris, Carie Anne and Aled laugh)**
Daves (Pipless) Tedious Link
EMF Unbelievable - “Unbelievable” is what you might say if you’d just seen a ten foot tall yellow pig selling candy floss to a small family of ducks who had just emerged from a pond full of custard - Custard rhymes with mustard, which can be English or French - Other things that can be English or French include salad dressing, subtitles and cars - Cars are made nowadays with the help of robots - Robot Wars is hosted by Craig Charles, who is well known for being an actor from Red Dwarf - Red Dwarf has the initials RD, which interestingly are also the initials of Reginald Dwight, better known as Elton John - Elton John likes nice things and is a big fan of The Royal Mail - The Royal Mail are best known for delivering letters - Letters are a crucial ingredient in the TV shows Countdown and Reverse-a-word - Reverse-a-word is hosted by Scott Mills and is destined to be as popular a show as Craig Doyle’s Holiday - and when you think of the word “holiday” in the context of early Madonna hit singles, you think of Holiday by Madonna - Which links us (geniusly) to Madonna and Holiday
NO SHOW EASTER MONDAY
This time next week it’s Bank Holiday (or as it’s known in the world of radio - breakfast disc jockey holiday). Chris and the team therefore get a day off, with Wes covering breakfast between 7 and 10am. Then from ten o’clock it’s the start of Radio 1’s “Ten hour takeover”, ten full hours of music chosen by the listeners. It’s similar to Virgin Radio’s No Repeat 9 to 5 (if they still do that) as the conditions are that no one song can be played more than once during the full ten hours. It will be hosted by Scott Mills, Edith Bowman and Vernon Kay. Chris will then return on Tuesday morning at 6:55.
Chris was feeling very perky today, saying that the chicks dig his early morning gravelly voice. Dave wasn’t feeling quite so good though - he’s got the flu, which kicked in on Saturday and meant he went to bed early at 9pm.
