I thought that today’s show was pretty lacklustre if truth be told, by far the worst show since Chris’s return from holiday. The football sticker stuff was quite funny to begin with, but now I’m finding it more and more irritating as the days go by. It seems to dominate too many of the links and doesn’t exactly make great radio either. Please forgive me the slightly smaller than usual review as there wasn’t a huge amount of stuff to write about in all honesty. Chris spent most of the first two hours organising his stickers face down in numerical order. This was because the sticker obsessed Breakfast team were having a big “swapsie session” during half time after 9 o’clock. Chris was organising his swapsies into equal piles on either side of his desk, so that they would be easily accessible later on.
Chris (slightly off mic) - It’s amazing I don’t get laid as much as I used to
(all laugh)
Dave only had one swapsie, testament to the fact that he hasn’t opened as many packets of stickers as the others. However he didn’t quite grasp the concept of swapsies and presumed that once he’d swapped his one sticker (with Rach for Figo) he could then continue playing, with people just giving him stickers for free. When Chris explained the rules, Vitty didn’t take it too well and tried to exit the studio mid link to get some more packets. Chris got up and physically stopped him getting away, screaming “I’m The Sticker Master!!!” down the mic as Dave tried to escape from his grasp. When Dave was finally given more stickers by Moyles, he was again annoyed by the number of Bulgarians he was finding in each packet.
Dave - Somebody texted in before saying “do you think in Bulgaria they are opening packets going...’Oh no not another bloody English player’..”?
Chris (laughs) - Probably
(hits Christina Milian vocal)
Chris began the show today by talking again about Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen. Chris said that he is enjoying watching the show as it is really entertaining TV and Gordon is very fair to all the chefs in his assessments. This may be true but I still think he’s an arrogant tosspot and won’t be watching out of principle. Dwain Chambers and Tommy Vance quite literally “couldn’t stand the heat” so have now quit the show, and Chris had some audio from yesterday that he used to compare Dwain to a little school kid. Comedy Dave was actually invited for dinner @ Hell’s Kitchen last night, but declined the offer. Chris said that one other Radio 1 DJ did go though, and had reported back to them saying that Vic Reeves was there, trying to order two fried eggs on a china plate. This DJ turned out to be Jo Whiley, who revealed at the start of her show that she went with Briggy and Radio 1 producer Hannah last night. Jo said they ended up sitting on a table with none other than Miss Mystic Meg. Chris didn’t want to give away Jo’s little secret so left it for her to say after ten o’clock. Dave had earlier asked Chris if he was going to give it away...
Dave - Are you gonna blow it for her?..
Chris - I beg your pardon
Dave - ...so to speak
Chris - Well I mean she comes off the air at quarter to one so y’never know (pardon the expression in that one as well)
Harry Potter (aka Daniel Radcliffe) was Jo’s guest “yesterday” on her show, but the interview must have been pre-recorded as Chris and Dave said they met him at Radio 1 last week (presumably that was the thing they were going on about that they couldn’t mention on the air). Chris said Daniel was a nice lad and hugged him twice. You can hear Daniel’s interview with Jo by following this link to Radio 1 ONLINE. The thing that terrified Dave the most musically about Daniel was the fact that he was born in the nineties, although according to all the sites I’ve searched on the t’interweb, he was actually born on July 23rd 1989. Jo had another big Hollywood guest on her show today in the form of Jake Gyllenhaal, who’s the star of the new Blockbuster “The Day After Tomorrow”, which looks worth a watch. I am incredibly jealous of this guy as he goes out with Kirsten Dunst, who I think is the sexiest woman in the world by a mile. I managed to catch a bit of Jake’s interview with Jo and James King today, and he accused Chris (who was lurking around next door) of having the worst haircut he’s ever seen in his life - the interview hasn’t been added online yet but will be shortly. Chris played Super Duper Love from the sexy Joss Stone just before Tedious Link today (and I can say that cos she’s my age). He recommended her debut album Soul Sessions and said it was very good for dinner parties in particular. It’s good to chill out to I agree, and I’ve actually got it on on the computer now as I’m compiling this review.
SMUDGER, BUZZ OFF AND SLEEPING ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT:
So Chris’s mate Alan Smith has moved to Man U from Leeds, which was the source of many a bad e-mail on Sky Sports News yesterday afternoon. Chris said it was a sad day for Leeds fans but told the ones calling him scum already to “get over it and move on”. However, it was a different story when Jules brought up the subject of “loyalty in football” during her 8:00 sports news. Chris unnecessarily leapt at her (not literally) and said that she didn’t know the meaning of the word. He mentioned something about Wimbledon, that leads me to believe Jules will be reporting on Wimbledon this year (either for BBC TV or Five Live) and will therefore be leaving the show for a couple of weeks. This may be 100% untrue but if I’m right then you can be god damn sure I’ll be quoting this statement in a few weeks time. Chris’s choice of Buzz Off tune today caused a major argument @ twenty past seven. It was So Easy by Röyksopp (track 1 off their Melody AM album). Dave buzzed in on 29 seconds and called it muck. He said it was an awful record, a dreadful way to start the day and the worst Buzz Off tune Chris had ever picked. I don’t know what he was going on about, it wasn’t worse than the Vengaboys for f*cks sake. Dom and Rach agreed with Dave’s consensus though, buzzing in on 0:33 and 1:19 respectively. Dom called it Enya FM and Rach said it was too slow. Chris (as ever) changed the rules of the feature, stopped the track and then started it again to prove to Dave that it would get at least a 75% Buzz On vote. It didn’t so Chris took it off after 2 minutes 33. It was perfect for me cos I was lying in bed knackered, but still, there was no need for Dave and Dom to go so overboard about the record. Dave said put a beat and a tune behind it and you might have a winner. I honestly thought it wasn’t that bad, so for once I’m agreeing with Chris on something to do with music. New tunes on the show today came courtesy of the half decent With You by Jessica *worth one but a bit thick and you wouldn’t put her on your pub team* Simpson (Chris’s words not mine), and Roses by Outkast (which is out on the 25th of June). Chris claimed the lyrics in that song are “roses really smell like poo-poo”, when in fact Rachel was right in thinking they sang “roses really smell like boo-boo”. Dave said that that didn’t make any grammatical sense though...
Chris - Whereas roses actually dipped in excrement would indeed “smell like poo-poo”
Rachel - Oh! What a nice thought for 7:50 in the morning
Chris - Yeah, if you’re just tucking into your coco pops then good morning
(plays trail)
There was also tales about falling asleep on public transport on today’s show (I can’t remember how it got to that). Rach said she fell asleep on the Tube the other day and ended up leaning on the person next to her. She said they looked a bit annoyed. Chris said it was probably her hugging and slobbering all over them that did that though. Dave’s worst bus journey was one where he ended up falling asleep twice and as a result waking up in two different bus deppos. This followed Dave’s earlier revelation that he is barred from three pubs, a video store and a Caribbean bar down the road from him (after an argument about Happy Hour). Chris’s dad is feeling a little better now after his quadruple heart bypass on Tuesday, and is out of intensive care. Chris thanked the listeners for all the nice texts that had come in and said hello to Caroline and Samantha, two of the nurses taking good care of his dad at the hospital (oh aye). Other stuff discussed today on the show included Wes going to the Ivor Novellos later, Dom taking Dave’s Battle Of The Planets t-shirt after Chris had given it to him, and Dave dislocating his shoulder while trying to do that arm flick to Lose Yourself by Eminem. Darren Day also came up in conversation, and the fact that he is now getting engaged to/having a kid with Suzanne Shaw from Hearsay. Chris said he once snogged her in the pub a couple of years back. I’ve actually seen her in person twice as she is yet another celebrity D-lister to come from my home town Bury.
WHERE’S ALED: DAY 4>>>>
(Aled and today’s winner Grace)
PASSWORD - “Aled knows nothing about football but I do”
LOCATION - By the world’s largest disco ball in Blackpool
CLUES - In a town just over 100 miles away from where he was yesterday, on a beach just 2 miles away from a large park, an open air skating rink was built in this place in 1876 and the town’s main tourist attraction brings in six and a half million visitors per year.
WINNER THROUGH TO THE AIRPORT FINAL - Grace, 18 with blond hair, green eyes and according to Aled, a nice arse (and as Rear Of The Year he should know). Oh and yep, Dave did do the amazing Grace gag btw. Aled’s travel companion Paul laughed like a girl when Chris asked Aled to describe the size of Grace’s knockers. Jones said they were medium and Chris said that was fine cos more than a handfuls a waste. I also can’t believe the team’s ludicrous guesses at where Aled was as it was obvious from the minute he gave “the beach” and the “6 and a half million visitors” clues that it was Blackpool.
LINE OF THE SHOW TODAY
When told by Chris that Bhangra Nights Vs Husan and Bhangra Nights was on the way, Dave muttered the immortal line...
Dave - Don’t look back in Bhangra

Run DMC & Aerosmith Walk This Way - Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is the proud father of a famous actress daughter, so in that respect shares something in common with Dennis Waterman - Dennis Waterman used to be married to Rula Lenska - If you remove the “Lenska” part of Rula Lenska, you’re left simply with Rula, which is something you might find in a childs pencil case* - A pencil case is something you’d take to school, as is an apple for the teacher if you’re a total brown nosed creep - Creep was a big hit for Radiohead - Radiohead are fronted by Thom Yorke - York is where you’d change for train services to Scarborough - Scarborough is famous for it’s fair, as is Barnet fair, which bizarrely is also traditional * rhyming slang for hair - Hair is one of the things that differentiates a primate from a fish - Fish from Marillion is famously Scottish, as is Lorraine Kelly - Lorraine Kelly was the British representative on Eurovision this year, while Johnny Logan was the voice of Ireland - and it’s from Ireland that Noel and Liam Gallagher’s family routes originate - Which links us to Oasis and Wonderwall
*RULE OR RULER?:>>>>
There was a bit of debate about whether or not a ruler’s actual technical name was a rule, but Chris got up the online definition from http://www.dictionary.com to prove that Dave was in fact correct with his wording.
Ruler - A straightedged strip, as of wood or metal, for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths. Also called rule.
TOMORROW MORNING
The show should be a lot better as Chris and co will be looking forward to Black Friday on Channel 4 - that’s the last ever episode of Friends and the first edition of the new Big Brother series (BB5). Friend of the show Davina McCall will be joining Chris live on the phone to chat about that, so make sure you’re listening from 7 tomorrow morning. If you can’t for some reason, then don’t forget to check back here for the review over the Bank Holiday weekend.
