Now I have been a regular Moyles listener for roughly 4 years now, but never before can I remember him doing such a funny and enjoyable show as this one (although granted my memory’s awful). From start to finish it was thoroughly entertaining, with Mr Dominic Byrne once again the star of the show. We’ll get to him later but first Chris was having technical difficulties at the top of the show. To begin with the microphone group was playing up, then the echo machine and then his Rule Britannia bed, played to celebrate his 8 minute 2 second triumph in Saturday’s Moyles Mile. As a tease for BB Aled’s press conference round up later, Chris also played out a clip of Aled asking big nosed Becki if she was a transsexual...or did he? The confusion arose as the clip was recorded in mono and with a loud buzzing noise on it. This meant when it was played out by Chris some people could hear it and others couldn’t. I was in the latter category, although to be fair I was half asleep at the time so wouldn’t have noticed. I don’t understand the jargon but for any technical geeks out there, Aled said he phased the clip but the mono output and stereo stream were cancelling each other out - basically resulting in an awful muffled mess for some people, and a perfectly clear piece of audio for others. Micky from Newsbeat texted in to tell Chris to play the clip through the left channel and then put it out through both channels by using the jack fields or Cool Edit. Hmm, just what I would have said *cough*. Chris was in a bad mood after paying £5.51 for a packet of mints, a chicken sandwich and a bottle of a fruit juice at the local 24 hour store this morning. He said he was skint and needed to get a bit of voiceover work to ease the cash worries. Yep just to recap, that’s the presenter of the Radio One Breakfast Show saying that they are skint and need some extra voiceover work. What is old Parf Daddy paying them these days eh? Chris decided to put together some stuff for a demo tape all the way THROUGH the show, including some versatile (and funny) Irish impressions at 8:30. Dave and Dom also enjoyed his cheesy local radio pronunciation of “Taekwondo” when asking for callers for Day 1 Of The Moyles Mini Olympics, which I’ll have more details on later. Juliette and Dom were struggling to remember the sports you can win tickets too though, so Rachel had to help out with some hand gestures. Nope, not tickets to see a load of gays - but tickets to the basketball (she was shooting a basket you see). Jules will be going out to Athens to cover The Olympics for Five Live, but for the time being she had other things on her mind - such as Prince William running The Sport Relief Mile in London on Saturday. She was (stupidly) wondering whether the Sport Relief people knew he was running, or whether he had just registered online and turned up. Chris said that was hardly likely - The Prince being on the net surfing for porn and then suddenly clicking on http://www.sportrelief.com to join up and pay his £7.50 registration fee. Dom said at this point it was probably a good idea to point out that The Prince probably wasn’t surfing for porn. Chris said he was though, but he’s just into his chess and was searching for “pawn” (nicely rescued). Chris did some hilarious impressions that got everyone laughing, with Jules owning up to being a silly bint by the end of the link. This was my particular favourite Moyles impression of the morning. Note in this little section he was being both Prince William (posh “your royal highness” voice) and some sort of Sport Relief bouncer letting people through the gates to run the mile (deep Leeds Bo Selecta Mel B voice)...
William - I’d like to run the Sport Relief Mile
Bouncer - Do you have a number? Did you register? Did you get your pack?
(all laugh in studio)
William - Well no, what with me being potentially the future King Of England
Bouncer - Well you had to register I’m afraid...(Dom laughs)...sorry about that, good luck anyway, ta da now...next!!
(Dom, Dave and Rachel laugh)

THE MOYLES MINI OLYMPICS - DAY 1:>>>>
TODAY’S EVENT - MINI JAVELIN...although some might call it darts.
Today was Day 1 of The Moyles Mini Olympics, with the grand prize on Friday being a two day trip for two to Athens to see the Diving, Athletics, Basketball and Taekwondo at this summers Olympic Games. The way it works is that each day until Thursday Chris will put two callers on the air, one of whom will go through to this Friday’s grand finale live in the studio. The two callers each pick a member of The Chris Moyles Show team to represent them in the day’s event and this is then played out live on the air @ 8:15. Today’s contestants were Martin, a very funny chef from Brighton and Kate from Sale, who owns her own recruitment company in Wigan. She picked Chris to represent her in today’s event, but Martin had a question before he picked his player - Was Comedy Dave hungover today? The answer was no...
Martin - In that case...Dave, get your shorts on mate, you’re going in there
(all clap & cheer)
Dave (in cheesy local DJ voice) - Best offer I’ve had all mornin’ mate!
(Martin and Chris laugh)
As previously stated this mornings event was <s>magnetic darts</s> mini javelin, with Chris and Dave both standing at the ockey and taking six throws each. Dave scored 94 to Chris’s 49, so pleasingly funny Martin goes through to Friday’s final, although Aled screwed up the bed. To take part tomorrow just make sure you’re ready to call @ roughly ten to 8...and remember not to pick Chris if you get through!
(Rachel and Dave watch on Chris throws his darts)
QUESTIONS FOR KIRSTEN:
With the Spiderman 2 premiere dropping into London town tonight, Dom is off to interview another top schlabrity in a posh hotel this afternoon. It’s not Spiderman himself Mr Tobey Maguire - but Kirsten Dunst who plays his love interest Mary Jane (MJ - hee hee, shamone). Now I’ve had a thing for Kirsten Dunst for a good few years and think she is undoubtedly the sexiest woman on the planet, although surprisingly her looks didn’t come up in conversation at all today. Dom has seen the film though and thinks it’s possibly the best superhero film of all time - something nicked from the press but still. It’s certainly receiving a lot of critical acclaim, which is unusual for a movie like that. Between 8:45 and Tedious Link, and then during half time, the team all came up with comedy questions for Kirsten. They were hilarious links (particularly half time) and if you can get to Listen Again I advise you do - and skip to 2 hours and 9 minutes in (here - Real One needed).
BRILLIANT QUESTIONS FOR KIRSTEN>>>>
- Hello, how are you? (revolutionary)
- What was it like filming with Tobey Maguire?
- Is he rubbish?
- What does APR mean?
- What’s your favourite cheese?
- What’s your favourite motorway, in either the UK or the States?
- Were you a big fan of Hong Kong Phooey?
- If Spiderman Spiderman can do whatever a spider can, does he have difficulty getting out of the bath? (from Matt on text)
- Who’s your favourite Spaniard? (Daves is Penelope Cruz, Chris’s is Manuel from Fawlty Towers)
- If Spiderman could spin you a web, how big would you have it? (in measurements)
- Do you like camels? Chris saw some yesterday and they were real
- Do you like olives? Dave doesn’t
- If Peter Parker picked a peck of pickled peppers, which peck of pickled peppers would Peter Parker pick?
- What are your thoughts on the pedestrianisation of Swindon Town Centre?
- We’re friends with your boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, will you come out for a drink and some mini poppadoms with us? (note to Dom: don’t say his name, she knows who he is)
- Have you ever thrown a TV out of a hotel window? If not, always remember to unplug the aerial beforehand
- You shot the film in LA. Rachel is going to LA next week, can she borrow your house while your away? Oh and your swanky VIP club passes? (cue Chris’s impression of Rachel pretending to be Kirsten Dunst)
- Will you have your picture taken with me, but on your knees with your shoes sticking out? (it’s tradition).
Dave thought it best to ask that one last, just before they manhandle him out of there. Chris said this has the potential to be the greatest interview either of them have ever done. Don’t forget there’ll be highlights of the big interview on the show tomorrow from 6:55, and Edith will be hanging out with the stars on the red carpet at the Spiderman 2 premiere during Late Drive tonight from 6 on Radio One (I sound like a trail don't I...).

DODGY DREAMS, SCHOOL OF ROCK STUFF AND BUZZ OFF WITH BLAIR:
Dominic was dreaming about Rachel last night. Not in that way though - he dreamt they were discussing show related stuff while taking part in a game of long distance frisbee...in a Greek night club. Chocolate, lamppost, treacle - random. Louise from Carnoustie was also dreaming about a member of the team t’other night - none other than slaphead Byrne himself. She texted in with her story and the team rang her back to record it. The basics of it were that Dom was trying to get into her hotel room to have his wicked way with her. Very bizarre seen as though she’s never seen a picture of him. Although methinks that would stop the dreams. Sticking with bizarre but funny stories, Chris’s Buttylicious mate Longman told him about a time he went to the kiosk at the post office recently and answered the question “how’s it going?” by talking about the business (his sandwich shop) and his home life. The person behind the counter then replied with the following:
Post Office Worker - No I meant how’s it going, first class or second class?
To celebrate the release of School Of Rock on DVD, some PR company had sent a load of free goodies into the show...including a signed Jack Black electric guitar. The team messed about with them after the 8:30 news, with Rachel putting on the guitar.
Dom - What school did you go to Rach?
Rachel - The School Of Rock!!
Chris (American voice) - Yeah!!
Dave (to Rach) - But didn’t you go to Wolverley high or something?
(all laugh)
Rach (laughing) - Yeah I did actually
Dave did the “strap” joke as Rachel struggled to get the guitar on. Once she did though, she said she couldn’t play anything on it...
Jules - But I thought you could play Tambourine Man?
Rachel - I can but I’ve never played an electric guitar before
Dom - It’s the same principle except we can’t hear you, which is a good thing
(Dave laughs loudly and Chris follows)
As the only other guitar player on the team, Dom took over and played along (badly) to the intro of Toxic by Britney. He claimed that anything else was impossible as it was so out of tune. To be fair I don’t think we’d have noticed the difference. *symbol*. Today’s Buzz Off track was very predictable, as it related to a conversation Chris had with the PM Tony Blair on Friday (yep he did interview Tony Blair, scroll down to read the review). Tony and Moyles got into a bizarre debate about Bruce Springsteen, and Blair and his patronising people smiled and scoffed at Chris as he tried to convince them that “Light My Fire” was a Springsteen song and not the one by The Doors they were referring to. Thanks to Dave and Chris for obviously reading the reviews page pre show, as there was no way that Dave would have researched and known the song in question was actually “I’m On Fire” (released as a double A side with Born In The USA, number 5 in June 1985). Chris unsurprisingly opted for this tune @ 7:20 this morning, with Rachel first to buzz on 48 seconds. She was followed by the listeners with 62% Buzz Off on 1:40, Dave on 1:45 and then Blair himself on 1:56. Yeah that’s right, Chris had got Tony to record the words “Tony Buzz” post interview on Friday, which he then played in over the track this morning. Aled completed the voting on 2:07, but Chris went back to the “Tony Buzz” clip. He said he didn’t know which was more surreal - interviewing Tony Blair at Chequers or afterwards asking him to record the words “Tony Buzz”.
Chris - He’s one of the most important men in the world (laughs then impersonates himself asking Tony)..”Yeah that’s great, but before you nip off to that meeting about the government’s overseas aid policy”...(Rachel laughs)...”Can you just say?”
(plays Tony Clip) - Tony Buzz
(trail)

CHART CHITTER CHAT WITH OLD WESLEY:>>>>
(Listen Again Link - Wes’s Official Chart Show Here)
Yep, the spiky haired one from Salford was back on at quarter to eight to chat about all things chart, but he’d gone home instead of staying around after his Early Breakfast Show to do it live. Wes was covering Early Breakfast as Nemone was depping for Jo Whiley today btw. Jo seems to be doing a bit of a Dave Pearce and has taken a couple of days off. Wes was listening to the show via his DAB Digital Radio at home, which still said he was on the air on the scrolling text thing for some reason. Chris asked him to switch the radio back on as he wanted to do an experiment with the Aled press conference clip on DAB, but soon abandoned this in favour of messing about with the delay on Digital Radio. Wes said it was fun and asked if they could do it again next week. Chris said no as he’s on holiday, although they can do it again in three weeks time. Radio One is going to be one hell of a mess these next few weeks - Moyles off, Mills moving to mornings, Nemone (presumably) to afternoons, Wes to Early Breakfast, Dave Pearce (possibly still off), JK and Joel joining, the new evening/afternoon time changes coming into place...it’s gonna be a relief when everything is back to normal and Chris returns. Moyles was listening to Wes on the Chart yesterday and said that although he is paid by the BBC, his chart is so much better than the competition...because there is no woman interrupting with her soft R’s. He said "Katy Hill - great from the neck down". Wes didn’t want to get into a slanging match but said yeah, they are rubbish. “They” are Katy Hill and Simon Hirst, Hit 40 UK presenters on commercial radio now Fatboy Fox has quit the chart.
Chris - Seriously, how can Katy Hill get a job on the radio when she can’t even pronounce the word?
(hits top ten bed as Wes laughs)
UNCOMFORTABLE BB ALED UPDATE:>>>>
(Becki on her eviction night on Friday)
BB Aled returned at 9:20 with more uncomfortable audio from a Big Brother press conference. I’m referring to the one with big nosed Becki from Friday night, which he said was very painful as she started to cry at some of the questions. He therefore lost his nerve a little bit and didn’t ask the paper bag question (see last Friday’s review for more), although he did proceed with “What’s it like being a transsexual?”. Her answer was that she wouldn’t know, although Chris wasn’t so sure. He said he had no sympathy for her at all and added that he didn’t give a monkeys whether or not she went into rehab or counselling or whatever. Aled said he did as he felt really sorry for her. Both Chris and Aled agreed that they want Ahmed out next this Friday. Oh and Becki’s favourite cheese is Parmesan btw.
A BRILLIANT EDITION OF CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:

Daves Tedious Link
Nomad (I Wanna Give You) Devotion - A nomad is normally a wanderer of Arabic descent - A descent of a different kind is something that a pilot will begin prior to a landing, while a landing of a different kind is commonly found at the top of the stairs - Stairs need to be climbed, as do ladders and mountains - Mountains can be made out of mole hills - Mole hills are created in the ground - Ground Force is the programme that launched the career of Charlie Dimmock - The word “Dimmock” shares many of the same letters as the word “hammock”, which is something you’d normally string between two trees - If you add two trees to a forest consisting of exactly 998 trees you get “A Thousand Trees”, which was a hit for Stereophonics - Stereophonics are led by founder member Kelly Jones - Kelly Jones shares the same christian name as Kelly LeBrock, who starred in Weird Science - Science is a general term which traditionally involves the three main subjects of Chemistry, Biology and Physics - Physics is one of the subjects I failed at school - School is somewhere you’re not allowed to show a rented video, along with oil rigs and prison - and if you were in prison and you didn’t like it very much, you might be tempted to “breakout” - Which links us to the Foo Fighters and Breakout

He therefore lost his nerve a little bit and didn’t ask the paper bag question (see last Friday’s review for more), although he did proceed with “What’s it like being a transsexual?”. Her answer was that she wouldn’t know, although Chris wasn’t so sure. He said he had no sympathy for her at all and added that he didn’t give a monkeys whether or not she went into rehab or counselling or whatever. Aled said he did as he felt really sorry for her. Both Chris and Aled agreed that they want Ahmed out next this Friday. Oh and Becki’s favourite cheese is Parmesan btw.

Nomad (I Wanna Give You) Devotion - A nomad is normally a wanderer of Arabic descent - A descent of a different kind is something that a pilot will begin prior to a landing, while a landing of a different kind is commonly found at the top of the stairs - Stairs need to be climbed, as do ladders and mountains - Mountains can be made out of mole hills - Mole hills are created in the ground - Ground Force is the programme that launched the career of Charlie Dimmock - The word “Dimmock” shares many of the same letters as the word “hammock”, which is something you’d normally string between two trees - If you add two trees to a forest consisting of exactly 998 trees you get “A Thousand Trees”, which was a hit for Stereophonics - Stereophonics are led by founder member Kelly Jones - Kelly Jones shares the same christian name as Kelly LeBrock, who starred in Weird Science - Science is a general term which traditionally involves the three main subjects of Chemistry, Biology and Physics - Physics is one of the subjects I failed at school - School is somewhere you’re not allowed to show a rented video, along with oil rigs and prison - and if you were in prison and you didn’t like it very much, you might be tempted to “breakout” - Which links us to the Foo Fighters and Breakout
