I have to say I quite enjoyed today’s show, which came as a bit of a surprise even to me. That’s because the team were live in Leeds, and the vast majority of Chris’s outside broadcasts so far this year have been dreadful (the exceptions obviously being the ones in Portugal). By no means was today Sony award winning stuff, but in comparison a massive improvement. The show was live from the new BBC Radio Leeds studios in St Peters Square - which Chris said were so much different from those at Radio One...i.e they were clean, had no coffee stains, no ash trays, no overflowing bins and no domestic engineers lurking around for a chance to get on the air. Chris said it was also dead hi tec with loads of cameras and stuff - a bit like NASA. The Radio Leeds Breakfast Show had even been relocated to Bradford, just to allow the team to have the best studio this morning. The power of the Moyles eh. I don’t want to create the impression that everything ran smoothly though - as in fact it was quite the opposite. The levels were all over the place - at first the music quiet, then Dave a bit low in the mix, next Dom’s mic too loud..etc etc. Old slaphead also had a habit of pressing random buttons on his news desk that generated incorrect or irrelevant news clips. This straight away in the news at 7 o’clock actually...
Dom - On paper it was a good start
(Dave laughs)

Follow it up with a White Stripes power opener and you’re laughing. Chris apologised to Jules for Dom’s incompetence, as she was on a Greek hotel balcony in a McDonalds headset and sounding better. The best technical * up of the morning came at 9:30 (courtesy of Dom again) - when none of the news and sport clips refused to play at all. Him and Jules therefore had to improvise, but a disgusted Dave wasn’t impressed. He called it rubbish and Chris said it was “like being on 6Music”:
Dom - I don’t think we should highlight the problem personally. I’m pressing play and I’m not hearing anything...you do the Math
(Dave laughs)

THE CHRIS MOYLES BOOK SIGNING:
Image
Image
(The Team In Hot Signing Action - that picture makes my head hurt..)
The general feeling amongst the team was that yesterday’s Leeds Met Book Signing turned out to be a rousing success. 650 people showed up so they ignored their one hour rule and signed for 1hr 40 minutes in total. Dave was so worn out by the end of it he said he had cramp in his wrist (good mornin’). So much so that to one bloke he wrote what looked like “nice to sex you” instead of “nice to see you”. Needless to say he got a strange look back. Dom said his worst mistake of the afternoon/evening was signing someones 21st birthday card “best wishes, bye bye now”...as he didn’t realise what it was till it had left his hand. Other stuff they signed included a Simon Mayo Confessions Book, Bridget Jones Diary’, Gazza’s autobiography, some Neighbours and Larry the Lamb annuals, a “coping with diabetes” book - and a book on the Atkins Diet. Chris signed it with “I haven’t read this, love Chris Moyles”. Also there last night were a load of hotties, with Chris remembering two of them in particular - “Hubba” and “Bubba” (as he’s know calling them). Greyhead Will was cruising through the crowds (“hello my darlin”) and said it’s official - the show now has attractive listeners again. I don’t know if us long term ones should be offended. Probably. Rachel’s only problem with yesterday was that there wasn’t enough men there. Chris said that’s her problem in life generally, not just yesterday. A tad harsh maybe.

WHERE’S ALED MAKES A RETURN:>>>
Image
It sounds very Radio Leeds-ish but Aled was “out and about” on the streets of Leeds after 8 o’clock this morning...but not for their What’s On guide. He was in fact giving away free Leeds festival tickets as “Where’s Aled” returned to Radio One. The password was “I can see you’re sticking out Aled” (just don’t ask) and his opening location Headingley, home of Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Leeds Rhinos Rugby League Club. If the Rhinos beat Castleford at home tonight then they finish top of Super League for sure this season (before the play offs kick in). Well that’s what Aled was trying to say, but screwed it up and said summat else (I can’t remember what - sorry). Basically the point of his message though was “good luck”. Chris said Aled is such a rugby fan...
Chris - You could be Ronnie The Rhino!!
(Aled and Chris laugh)
Aled - I’ll fit straight in there...
Chris - Well...(laughs)...mm, ok then
Dave - Moving on..

(Danny McGuire of Leeds Rhinos)
Just for the record btw - I hate rugby league. Probably more than any other sport. As with Where’s Aled before Euro 2004, people had to locate Jones via the clues he’d given and then shout the password at him to claim the free tickets. When Chris came to him for a winner though, Aled said he had a bit of a dilemma. The people who find him are obviously put in a queue when they get there, and the first four today were all blokes. In fifth/sixth though were the aforementioned “hubba bubba” girls from yesterday - Kimberley and Karen.
Dom - One was more hubba than the other bubba weren’t they?
(Chris laughs)
Dave - I personally wouldn’t have said that, certainly not on national radio anyway...

Karen is the major piece of ass it seems. As regards the tickets, Chris said he couldn’t see any dilemma. Fix it so the girls win. Dave said they would probably be dressed more for a festival than the blokes anyway...
Chris - What are the hotties wearing Aled?
Aled - Erm..(laughs)...Karen’s wearing quite a short black top
Chris - mmm
Aled - ...a very short mini skirt..
Chris & Dave together - mmm
Aled - ...and some cowboy boots
Chris - Oh man!! Man alive!! (Dom laughs)
Dave - Now that is festival wear!!!
(pause)
Chris - Do you know what though, we better go with the rules...
Dave (sounding desperate) - Why??!!
(Chris, Dom and Aled laugh)

Dave said it’s “our game, our rules, our show, we win”. Chris was adamant though that they tick that box and play it by the rule book, so therefore Dave from Wynmore (the Las Vegas of Leeds) claimed the tickets. Once that was done Moyles told Aled to give the girls a lift to his next location, as he needs to get some action this weekend after all. Aled said fine, as he did have a big people carrier...
Dom - Welcome to a new feature called “abusing your position”..
(Chris and Aled laugh)

Image
AT HOME WITH THE HUBBA BUBBA’S

So just one pair of tickets left then and when Aled returned to give the clues for his next location...they were a lot more difficult. The reason being, he was live at the house of the hot mommas Kim and Karen!!! Oh and six other girls live there too. Sweet jesus. Karen made Aled a cup of tea and then spoke to Chris over the phone as Greyhead wasted a couple of sticks worth of memory just on taking pictures of her (which btw aren’t up @ R1 Online yet as promised). She sounded fit though...
Chris - So well done you’ve got the tickets!!
Karen - Yeah, do we get to go in the Radio 1 tent?
(pause)
Chris - Well to be honest, and it depends how accommodating you are love, you get to go wherever you want...
(Karen laughs)
Chris - and hopefully, likewise...
(Dave laughs)

Image
Chris - Is it a nice tea by the way?
Aled - It’s a bit strong for me actually..
(Dom, Dave and Chris laugh)
Chris - You ungrateful sod!!


RADIO 1’S 49 MINUTE TAKEOVER:>>>
Image
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/djs/tenhour2)
So the second big takeover kicks off on Monday at 10am with Scott Mills and JK and Joel, and in preparation for that the team once again did a bit of a takeover warm up in the final hour of the show today - i.e listeners texting in for certain songs, the team ignoring them and then playing their favourites - complete with made up names and everything. Like Alun in Aberystwyth and Racquel in Kidderminster (well disguised y’see). I was quite disappointed with the last hour actually, mainly because (and I never say this like others do) Chris talked too much and didn’t play enough music. Normally I don’t care as it’s usually utter rubbish anyway - but today we only had time for seven takeover songs - Frankie Goes To Hollywood, The Jam, Duran Duran, Oasis, MC Hammer, Dexy’s Midnight Runners and Queen & Bowie. Four of them genius picks, but I’ll leave you to decide which four. A woman who knows her music is Miss Jo *vintage bintage* Whiley, who chatted live to Chris at 9:50 (bizarrely on the phone - even though she was on the air 10 minutes later). She was his drinking partner at Mojo in Leeds last night, although she was a bit of a lightweight and left at six minutes past ten - i.e when the sex pesting began. Chris said him and Dave were actually quite good boys themselves and left the bar at ten...*cough* to 2. It seems Moyles’s infatuation with Jo is taking over his life - as yesterday in the bar he was eying up an attractive blond girl with her back to him...who (you’ve guessed it) turned out to be Mrs Whiley herself.
Chris - So seriously, if you don’t let me have some now then I don’t know what’s wrong with you...
Jo (laughs) - You’re sounding desperate...


OTHER STUFF ON THE SHOW THIS MORNING:>>>
And there’s quite a lot to mention as well today. Chris’s Buzz Off tune at 7:20 was the rather obscure choice of Down To Earth by Curiosity Killed The Cat, a number 3 hit back in December 86. Dave was first to buzz on 1:05, Aled next on 1:09, Rach third on 1:29 and the listeners (with 58% Buzz Off) last on 1:55. Fully justified too but a bit of a disaster for Moyles it has to be said. Speaking of disasters, Dave had yet more trouble with his maths after 8 o’clock, as he tried to work out how old Jay-Z is. In today’s paper it has him pictured with Beyonce (that’s Jay-Z not Dave) and the caption stupidly says he’s 23, when we all know he’s pushing 50. Despite the discrepancy as regards his date of birth, Dave seemed to conclude that Mr. Z is either 33 or 34. I don’t really care but if you do, my advice would be not to take Dave’s word for it. Just use a calculator and work it out yourself instead. The team also did their traditional blag for free food this morning. Rach wanted a sausage sandwich, Chris a hubba bubba sandwich, Dom a chicken burger (random) and Dave a “breakfast sandwich surprise”...possibly containing bacon, sausage, eggs and tomato sauce on white bread. Kind of eliminates the “surprise” element don’t it? As well as all this we had a Senor Coconut-less half time (what’s that all about?), Blackburn fan Helen from Leamington Spa winning tickets to the Man U match tomorrow (in the easiest off the air football giveaway in the world ever) - plus an in depth discussion on the feminine cream coloured cardigan being sported by Comedy Dave this morning. Dave said it wasn’t cream - and certainly wasn’t feminine. The mention of the word “cardigan” was the cue btw for some borderline offensive Northern Irish accents from the team - power shower, motorcycle helmet etc etc.
Dave - Goodbye Northern Ireland
Dom - I feel the whole of the UK is slightly closer now...
(Chris, Dave and Rach laugh)

THE OFFENDING CAMP CARDIGAN
Image
Dave - Could it be a fleece?
Chris said no - not with a light blue lion on the side anyway. Roar. Rach said men just shouldn’t wear cardigans, it’s a total no no. Dave (despite still claiming that it’s not a cardigan) told her to shut up, and added that his poncho is nicer than hers.
Chris - Listen there’s nothing wrong with trying out other types of clothing and...
Dave - whoa whoa whoa don’t put me in your bracket...so to speak
Chris (laughs) - Whoa!!

At times it was hard to remember but the whole point of the team coming live from Leeds today was because this weekend it’s the Leeds Festival. Dave is most looking forward to seeing Placebo, Green Day, Morrissey, Ash, The Hives and The White Stripes. However on the other hand he is not arsed about seeing/doesn’t want to see the following: The Streets, Har Mar Superstar, Conspiracy, The Broncs and another new band called..
Dave - ..Thrice
Chris - What?
Dave - Thrice
Chris - What?
Dave - Thrice
Chris - OK
(Dave and Chris laugh)
Dave - Y’see what we did there..


NO CARPARK CATCHPHRASE TODAY
Due to Chris doing the Ten Hour Takeover Rehearsal after 9 o’clock. Mr Fish and old Roy *I’d rather stick a fork in my eye* Walker will return to the show on Tuesday morning, that as Monday is Bank Holiday and Chris and the team have a day off.

Daves Tedious Link
The Beloved Hello - Hello rhymes with “Yellow”, which was a big hit for Coldplay - One of the members of Coldplay is I think having a baby - Baby I Don’t Care was a top song from Transvision Vamp - Transvision Vamp were fronted by blonde bombshell Wendy James - Wendy James shares the same surname as David James, who plays for Manchester City - Manchester City tomorrow face Charlton Athletic - Charlton Athletic are one of the few football clubs in England whose name begins and ends with the same letter, and in that respect share something in common with Northampton Town, York City, Aston Villa and Liverpool - Liverpool is the birthplace of Jennifer Ellison, who won the reality TV show Hells Kitchen under the tutorage of Gordon Ramsay - Ramsay Street is where Madge and Harold Bishop live - Madge Bishop has a son called Henry, who I think is still in prison - and if you take the word “prison” and remove the letters I, S, O and N and add the letters O, D, I, G and Y, you get “prodigy” - Which links us to The Prodigy and No Good (Start The Dance)

FLAW
*Madge Bishop died a few years ago, back when I used to watch Neighbours

NO MINI MOYLES UPDATE TODAY:>>>
*Due to Chris and the team being up in Leeds there was no Friday Mini Moyles update, although I can create my own brief one for you:-
- On Tuesday Jules will be back live in the studio with crap presents galore
- Rach is fake tanning it this weekend, ahead of Jules’s return
- Aled is going home to Aberystwyth later today
- After the Friday show Chris went off to see Longman @ Buttylicious, Jo Whiley backstage at the festival, his mum and dad at...erm, their house - and (with any luck) hubba and bubba too.
