Chris and Dave were both suffering from a lack of sleep this morning and were feeling (as Dave put it) “slightly spiky” at the start of the show. Chris had a bit of a cold too so was feeling a bit bunged up, plus he didn’t like the cab driver he had driving him into work today (he was French).
Dave - and everyone knows that you hate the French
Chris (laughing) - No, no, that’s very harsh Dave...just some of them

The first couple of tracks were hardly power openers either - Christina Milian and Evanescence (hot rockin’ flame throwin). Chris said that the low key start was a tribute to the fact that the first two songs were ruuubbish. Dave was still well off the pace 20 minutes later and even a brief clutter of TV themes couldn’t liven him up - not Wimbledon, Grange Hill or This Morning. Chris and Dave did their truly abysmal Richard and Judy impressions too, but they just compounded the misery. The reason the two weren’t quite up to scratch right away was that last night was Radio 1 DJ Dinner night. It was held at some swanky London eatery and not (thankfully for Chris) at Hell’s Kitchen, which was touted as a possible venue yesterday. Chris said it was a good night overall but agreed with Wes when he said that the meals were minuscule. He said it may well have been “nouvelle cuisine” but there was bugger all of it on his plate. Chris told Dave he had considered stopping off on the way home to pick up a KFC or a McDonalds, he was that hungry. Dave said he too had been a little hungry when they left. Vernon was the only Radio 1 daytime DJ not present last night as he was busy filming his new BBC2/BBC3 series Head Jams. Present and correct though were Wes, Nemone, award winner Scott Mills and Miss Emma B in a rather revealing top. Dave said that when they were on desserts, someone innocently asked her if she had two puddings and she thought they were referring to her cleavage.
Chris - How are you? Are you still a bit spiky?
Dave - I’m getting there. I’ll be alright after half past seven
Chris - Yeah, little sandwich wake you up, summat like that?
Dave - I’m starving actually
Chris - Nice big cup of tea?
Dave - Oh yeah, nice
Chris - I’ll sort that out for you now (hits Franz Ferdinand vocal then interrupts it 5 seconds later)...well obviously I won’t, I’ll get someone to do it for me

Just before this, Chris chose a belter of a Buzz Off tune from Daft Punk. It was Harder Better Faster Stronger (number 25 in November 2001) from their Discovery album. Dave was the only one to Buzz in (on 2 minutes 30), so the whole song was played in full. 62% of the 2000 texts that came in said Buzz On and only 38% Buzz Off. A chirpy Dom was a little bemused by the track, but in a positive way. A text came in asking Chris if he could clarify the Buzz Off rules as they seem to be changing every day at the moment. Chris said he couldn’t - it’s his feature, so his rules. Basically just an excuse to play one of his favourite records in other words. One Road Travel today was a bit of a bizarre one, as Dom picked a road in Darlington that was actually running fine with no problems. He said he wanted to spread “Happy Traffic” instead of bad travel news all the time. Dom’s partner in crime Juliette had a bit of a showbiz sport interview yesterday afternoon. It was with Jenson Button, and Chris talked to her about it after doing a fantastic impression of Newsbeat’s Peter Bowes, who was in the news talking about Madonna cancelling a gig in the US. Jules denied that Jenson was boring to talk to, she just said he was a little confused by some of her questioning. Having said that he did play along, revealing his favourite cheese, Back To The Future movie and motorway. They are Buffalo Mozzarella, Back To The Future 1 and the A8 along the south coast of France if you’re interested (although you’re blatantly not). Another Chris Moyles Show showbiz exclusive was also revealed today - Jenson had a hand double in the TV ad he filmed for BBCi earlier this year. Greyhead Will could also be heard laughing in the background while the interview was going on..such a professional. Chris played an album track from the new Keane album Hopes And Fears, called Can’t Stop Now. Chris has yet to listen to the album but said he would do soon. I recommend he does cos...erm, it’s very good. Hmm, I’d be no good at reviewing stuff me would I...oh hang on...

EXAMS AND MORE PORTUGUESE LESSONS:
Now it just so happened that I was in an exam this morning at 9 o’clock, so turned the radio down between 7:30 and 8 to <s>make a start on</s> have a last look at my revision notes. It was a bloody good job I did too, cos when I listened back later, Chris was going on about how much he hated exams with a passion and all the bad stuff that he could think about them. He read out a list of exams taking place today in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They included Arabic, German, PE, Dutch, Chemistry Practical and Classical Greek (and Sociology). Dave talked about how he always used to forget to check the back page for questions in exams, then find out from friends afterwards that he missed a question out. Chris said he usually missed most questions out. If you don’t know, Moyles only got 5 GCSE’s when he was at school. Chris talked about doing tests at school where you were told to read all 20 questions before beginning. Then question 20 would be something like “don’t answer anything, just fold your arms and put your pens down”. Chris said all the smug kids would do that, while the others would slap their faces and shout “I’m a chicken!!”, as instructed in a previous question. I must admit I’ve never heard of such a test, and neither had Rach or Dave (and he went to school in Hong Kong remember).
Dave (to Chris) - Were you in a special class? (Rach laughs)
Chris - Shut up Dave
(plays Sugababes - Hole In The Head)

During half time today, the show’s Portuguese expert Mafalda was back to teach the team some more crucial phrases that they will be needing for the summer. It may just be me, but I can’t help thinking that Mafalda is sounding more and more like Sonja every day (Alan Partridge’s girlfriend from the last series of I’m Alan Partridge). Funny foreigners eh? Mafalda taught the team how to say “What’s your favourite cheese?”, “Hello, can I have a pint of beer?” and “I love the music of David Hasselhoff”. That was also discussed last time Dom spoke to her and Chris wanted to test Dave’s memory.
Chris - What about “I love the music of David Hasselhoff”. Do you remember that?
Dave - I need a refresher
Chris - ...what one of them little sweeties?
Dave (laughs) - No, a refresher in the language sense
Chris - Oh, ok (plays clip)


MORE STICKER STUFF AND NOSE HAIR TRIMMERS>>>>
Chris and Dave exchanged gifts after 8 o’clock this morning, although neither was bought by them. Dave (like Chris) had been sent a Merlins England 2004 Sticker Collection Album Binder and 15 free packets of stickers. Chris called it a sticker fest. Remember this album is completely different to the one the team have been playing with on the air these past few days. In addition to the footy stickers Dave had also received Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle and WWF Smackdown stickers. He was very pleased with his gift and during the next record nipped upstairs to retrieve a gift that he had for Mr Moyles. He said that he was simply the messenger and the content of the package was different to the one Chris had just given him, despite having the same wrapping paper. It was a Wet & Dry Nose hair trimmer and Chris was like a little kid opening it. He called it “cool”, “wicked” and “brilliant” (he wasn’t taking the pee) and tried it out live on the air, much to the amusement of Dave.
Dave (and his pig squeal laugh) - This is the best fun with nose hair ever!!!
As Dave put more and more stickers into his sticker books (note the plural), he was chuckling more and more to himself at some of the players silly names. Eventually the pig squeal laugh came out as he looked at Portugal’s reserve keeper "Quim". This set the whole team off (every single one of them) and Chris (in hysterics) said there was nothing like a good bit of racism to start the day. Just a few other quick things to mention about the show in this section of the review - the bottom part of the studio desk had a screw loose and Chris kept banging his knee on it today, Jules lost it momentarily and had one of those moments to forget during the 8:30 sport, and Chris wished his mate good luck for his doctors appointment today. A comment innocent enough until he said that he hopes he fails and goes to Italy for the pasta and long legged women. The mate Chris was talking about was obviously Alan Smith (Smudger), who has his medical at Manchester United this afternoon and should complete his transfer from Leeds before tomorrow.

WHERE’S ALED: DAY 3>>>>
ImageImage
PASSWORD - “I love David Beckham”
LOCATION - Outside Carlisle Castle in Carlisle
CLUES - In an English city that’s 4 hours by train from London, a city that’s home to a racecourse and one of England’s finest Victorian covered markets. It also has one of the smallest cathedrals in England, built in 1122.
WINNER THROUGH TO THE AIRPORT FINAL - Derek Carr, who was the second person to find Aled, but the first with the correct password. Aled also told Chris that the “mucky” text messages he was referring to yesterday (on Aled’s old phone) had absolutely nothing to do with him. Chris wasn’t so sure. Moyles also tried to give “the uneducated listeners” a crash course on how Euro 2004 works as regards England’s group, but only ended up making himself look like the uneducated one. I’ll step into his shoes and say that England’s three Euro 2004 group games are against France on Sunday 13th June, Switzerland on Thursday 17th June and Croatia on Monday 21st June. That’s all you need to know basically.

A GENIUS EDITION OF CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
REBECCA a thick 18 year old restaurant assistant from Blackwood in South Wales 2
DARYL a Weatherspoons stock planner from Derby 1

Daves Tedious Link
Sinead O’Connor Nothing Compares 2 U - Nothing Compares 2 U was written by Prince, who also scored a famous hit with When Doves Cry - Doves like most birds can’t actually cry, as a result of them not having any tear ducts - Tear ducts shouldn’t be mistaken for Teardrops, which was a big hit for Womack & Womack in 1988 - 1988 was the year that the Olympics were held in Seoul in South Korea - As well as being an Asian nation, career can also mean a job or to drive your car off the road - The word “road” shares many of the same letters as the word “toad”, which is a creature closely related to the frog - Frogs are very good at jumping, as is Jonathan Edwards - Jonathan Edwards shares the same christian name as Jonathan Pearce - Jonathan Pearce works for Five Live - Five Live shouldn’t be mistaken for Five Alive, which was a fruit drink popular in the 80’s - and the 80’s was the decade that spawned the first ever rap/rock crossover record, when Run DMC teamed up with the mighty Aerosmith - Which links us predictably to Run DMC & Aerosmith and Walk This Way

**Chris ended the show with his spooky laugh, as he was plugging Daniel Radcliffe’s appearance on Jo Whiley’s show this lunchtime. Daniel plays Harry Potter in the Harry Potter movies (if you’ve been on Mars for the past few years). Chris claimed that Daniel is actually the son of Mark Radcliffe, but Dave was having none of it. Just a week and a half till Radcliffe starts on Radio 2 now (that’s Mark not Daniel you understand). Chris talked to Jo at the 10 o’clock switch over, claiming that she was all over him like a rash last night and was trying to get him back to her hotel. He called her a dirty tart. Jo said Chris was such a liar and said that the people listening knew who to believe. She denied dropping in any filthy double entendres last night, and also added that she’d go for DJ “not so tea spoony” Spoony over Chris any day of the week. Chris said personality goes a long way and then put her off by twice cutting across her opening song, and then accusing her of playing the wrong one. Jo denied it...
Chris - You’re flustered by love**
