Ah hello to you. Another damn good show from the team this morning - albeit after a terrible first 20 minutes when they all sounded close to death. Chris in particular, who had gone out last night with Tim and Jamesie and got plastered till 12:45am - knowing full well that he had to get up this morning at 5, or 5:36 as it turned out. It’s probably the worst Chris has sounded on a breakfast show so far (he did have 9 pints) - although I wouldn’t go as far as Jo Whiley (who was listening on her drive up from Northampton) and say that Chris sounded drunk. Which he wasn’t pleased about btw, resulting in him turning her off at the 10 o’clock handover. Moyles again said that he loves his job, but just hates getting up so early in the morning - saying “it’s not natural”. Dom made him feel a lot better by saying it’s only going to get worse going into the winter:
Chris - That’s nice, thank you
One texter suggested Chris stuck the emergency tape on and went for a kip. He said it sounded like a good idea. He didn’t even have time for a shower or some brekkie before getting in his taxi this morning. In fact he was so short on sleep and unawake that he yet again forgot to pick up the breakfast bar CD’s by his keys and wallet to use for this morning’s Buzz Off tune. Dave said he always puts stuff in his shoes to stop him forgetting them in the morning - as he’s guaranteed to always either see them or feel them. Chris said it’s a good job he doesn’t carve meat for a living - as on new knives day that’d be one hell of a painful shoe to put on. Aled said he likes the idea of the stuff in the shoe blocking it:
Aled - Cos remember it’ll block the spiders as well...
(Dave laughs as Chris cuts music)
Rach - Oh Aled!!
Chris - hello?
Aled said yeah - he cleans out his shoes for spiders. Chris asked who he was - Stig Of The Dump. Aled said no, it’s just there are loads of spiders where he lives and he’s always worried about them getting in his shoes (not that it has actually happened yet). Chris said just for that story, today’s Buzz Off was dedicated solely to Aled - Shocked by Kylie Minogue (number 6 back in 1991). It was a bit of a failure really - lasting only three minutes with 60% of the listeners buzzing it off. Dave was first on the team to buzz after 58 seconds, Aled next on 2:43 and Rachel third on 2:59. Other music on the show today came courtesy of Green Day, Embrace, Jo Jo, Keane, Mark B featuring Tommy Evans (whoooo?) and Ashlee Simpson - younger sister of Jessica...and possibly just as thick. She’s got her own MTV reality show in the pipeline too (oh god) and her new single Pieces Of Me is out in the UK on the 20th of September. I agree with Chris and Dave that it is good - but they play it so much at my part time work that I’m sick to death of hearing it already. Imagine my joy today then when I found out it has just been moved to the Radio One A List. *sighs*. I can though take some comfort from the fact that it isn’t Jessica’s cover of Angels by Robbie, as she absolutely murdered that on Dave Letterman the other week. Edith was right when she told Comedy Dave his version was better. Chris recalled the time him and Dave said hello to her at Radio One a few years ago. Dave said they wished her all the best in her trans atlantic career. Chris added that although Jessica is fit but dumb, he finds that strangely endearing in a woman:
Chris - If you had to choose Dave: a really intelligent ugly woman or a really thick fit woman...there’s no contest is there?
Dave - No I like both...
(pause then Dave laughs)
Dave - ..and don’t say thick and ugly
(Chris laughs too - plays trail)
(Ashlee and Jessica)
Chris was plugging One Big Weekend in Birmingham again after 8 this morning - in particular the second tent on Sunday which has Kasabian and The Music playing live, who both Chris and Dave are hoping to get chance to see. They may be a little pre occupied though, as complex negotiations last night have unfortunately ended with the decision that mouldylookinstain... will be performing live at One Big Weekend.
Chris - We’re top of the bill..
Dave - Yeah...if you put the bill upside down
They will be performing in a six minute window in fact - 4 minutes for the GLC parody (there was a snippet of the new crap Frank Ferdinand parody today too), 2 minutes for Aled break dancing - and also time for Rachel to come on stage dressed as a rabbit... in a Flaming Lips stylee. Rach said no way - she’s not performing. Not even as a DJ before or after the gig. Chris did a brilliant impression of what she’d sound like bigging up the fresh flavas in her Kidderminster accent, but Rach said in Birmingham at least they’d understand her.
Chris - That’s true, but you always say you’re not from Birmingham don’t you?
Rach - Well I’m not, but I’ve still got the twang
Chris (laughs) - Well there you go!
Dave - I thought it’d cleared up now..
(all laugh)
PEDOMETER STUFF:
(Chris and his new pedometer)
This was the main topic of conversation on this morning’s show - Chris’s new pedometer (translation for you thickos out there: one of them things that counts your steps). Moyles eats Special K cereal and it tells you you should be walking 10 000 steps every day, so yesterday Chris made that his target. He thought that by walking the two and a half miles home from work he would easily pass it... but he was wrong. He discovered that a) his house is only one and a half miles away from Radio 1 - and b) that it was only 5600 steps there, not 10 000. Aled suggested he walk to work in the morning as well then - as that would mean passing his target every day. Chris said there was no way that would happen - as he even has trouble getting into a taxi in the morning.
Dave - Plus you’d get mugged in that park too
Aled - Would you?
Dave - mmm
To make up his other 4400 steps, Chris decided to take a massive diversion to his local pub last night - and ended up walking around the block several times (for 1.3 miles actually) before making his target. Rach said that was brilliant work - completely forgetting that Chris then went and drank 9 pints of lager. Aled was fascinated by the whole steps/pedometer thing - so went and counted his own steps to and back from the Radio 1 tea/coffee machine. He said it was 45, which some texters declared impossible due to it being an odd number. Complete bollocks of course, because there is no set distance for a step - but this got Dave interested further, and at half time the team divulged in a big pedometer to tea machine experiment. Aled by himself, Dave with Aled and then Chris on his own all made journeys from the studio to judge the distance, with Chris eventually using his pedometer to confirm an actual distance of 68 steps - which Aled said was just wrong. The bit of air time with Chris out of the studio was awkward to say the least (Aled and Rach filled mainly), whereas the air time with Dave and Aled out of the studio was a lot funnier...
Chris - It’s nice it’s just us Rachel
Rach - I know. It’s a beautiful moment
Chris - Isn’t it?
Rach - I know. I feel quite uncomfortable now though..
Chris - Really? That’ll be those tight jeans you’ve got on
Rach - They’re not tight
Chris - They are when you wear them..(she interrupts)

JOHN BARDON LIVE ON THE PHONE:>>>>
Hello Dorothy. John Bardon who plays Jim Branning in EastEnders was live on the phone today at around a quarter to 9. There wasn’t a specific reason for this as such, but apparently there is quite a big storyline going on at the moment involving June Brown (Dot) and his good self. A storyline that John basically ruined - by saying it’s got a happy ending. I haven’t the foggiest what the storyline is and to be honest I don’t give a rats ass. Chris, Dave and Rach obviously did though - and two of them found the fact he’d given the ending away hilarious (I wonder if you can guess which two...hmm). John said to be honest a storyline like this is good cos it means he’s not in the pub or the bookies for a change. A bad thing surely? Brown nosing Chris said we just don’t see enough of John on screen in that show. He suggested he leave to film a spin off called “Jim” (y’know to rival Joey) - with the basics of the plot being that Jim wins the lottery and shacks up with a 21 year old blonde girl. He unsurprisingly thought it was a good idea. I found John’s brief appearance on the show a lot more entertaining than that last week of Jane who plays Tracy the barmaid, especially when they got round to the all so inevitable talking point of impressions. King Of The Impressions Dominic Byrne was on hand to try and impersonate Jim’s distinctive voice, and to get John’s comments on his performance. It’s fair to say he wasn’t bowled over, especially as Dom just said “Hello Dorothy” and not an actual sentence. Chris said to be fair to Dom it is quite a hard thing to do, so challenged John to impersonate Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “I’ll be back”. Jim was just about OK...
Chris - I tell you what John, that’s nothing - you should hear Arnold Schwarzenegger going *puts on Arnie accent* “Hello Dorothy!!!!!”
(Dom, John and Dave laugh loudly)
Chris (quietly aside) - ...trail
(Rach laughs)
- Download the Jim Champagne Wallpaper (^^) that Chris and Rach were talking about here. Also a quick plug for the improvising gig that John and Paul Merton (“We’ve got the wight Phones 4 U”) are doing tonight for Barts Hospital down at Hackney Empire in London. Doors open at 8 if you’re round that way folks...
SECRET STUDENT, JULES IS FEELING LONELY AND ERM RADIO 2 BASED STUFF:>>>
Today’s bunch of Secret Student contenders included the following: some filthy slapper who went on about her sexy nurses uniform (and talked in the squeakiest voice ever), a country boy who’s moving to London to study fashion (a big no no), a desperate film and media student who was trying far too hard - and a Northern Irish girl who is captain of both the bridge and cheerleading teams at her uni. Dave was put off by her irritating voice, although Chris said he wasn’t arsed about that as she’s a cheerleader:
Chris - Mind you cheerleaders from the UK are generally rough fat dogs
Dave - mmm
A bit of a generalisation but who cares. Moyles said the fat porkers chanting “Go Leeds, Go Leeds, Flubber Flubber, Blubber Blubber!” at Elland Road don’t really compare to those hot American cuties that you see in the movies. Incidentally, this week is the last week to register for Secret Student. The basics of it are that you ring 08700 100 100 and choose option 3, then leave your message. Full details though can be found online here though @ Radio 1 ONLINE.
(A lonely Jules..aww)
The team played a quick round of Daves Introductory Service after the 8:30 news, with today’s tracks coming from a CD Chris found entitled “The Best One Hit Wonders In The World Ever”. Artists on there included Nena, Deep Blue Something, The Rembrandts and The Cutting Crew, although it soon became obvious that Chris was ignoring Dave and only taking answers from Dom, Rach or Jules.
Dave - This game’s rubbish..
Dom and Jules were drawing 2-2 going into the final track, with Dave no longer taking part and Rach sitting on zero points (she claimed cos she was having to log all the tracks he was playing). The final song was the legendary All By Myself by Eric Carmen - which Jules recognised almost immediately:
Chris - Do you know this because you like awake at night in your flat on your own, drinking your blue nun, while looking out at the rain bashing against the window and going “why am I so lonely?”..
Jules - I’m so Bridget Jones!!
(Rach laughs)
Chris - Well fat yes but...
(laughs and “ooohs” in the studio)
Jules said she actually used to have a compilation called “All By Myself”... and that was track one on it (well it makes sense). Chris said she is the definition of lonely chick and added that if she was such a big fan of the song, then she’d have no problem singing a bit now. Despite at first saying she wouldn’t, Jules was belting out the chorus in no time. A real one headphone to the ear Band Aid moment. Chris said screw Wogan, this is Radio 1:
(Chris cuts off track with Jules still singing)
(Dave, Rach and Dom laugh)
Chris - I just had a note through. Apparently Wogan is playing the brand new Green Day single right now, as we’re on Eric Carmen...
Dave (laughing) - She closes her eyes when she sings like Stevie Wonder!!
Chris - I close my ears when she sings..
(Dom laughs as Chris plays Maroon 5)
Seen as though we are (kind of) on the subject of Wogan, now seems as good a time as any to mention Chris and Dave’s latest round of Wogan and Ken Bruce impressions, just before Carpark Catchphrase today. They just get funnier all the time (especially Dave in his diabolical Scottish accent), and today even included a very special “Thought Of The Day” from Father Dominic Byrne -
Dom - “When you’re peeling sprouts, please wear protective clothing”
Another Radio 2 based piece of news that you may want to know about (despite it not being mentioned in the show), is the creation of a new section in Mark Radcliffe’s Radio 2 mini site. It looks like it will only be there for a month as part of R2’s Going Digital campaign - so be feckin quick. It’s the best bits of Mark and Lard on Radio 1 - on Listen Again!! 22 separate files in fact - including clips of their first and last ever shows, their first breakfast show - and numerous legendary features such as Circle Of Chance, Ace Of Bass, Tug O’Peace and Son Of Cheesily. We are talking about some of the greatest radio features of all time here folks. To access them just click on the following link to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/radcl ... hive.shtml ...and enjoy. Also check out details of Radcliffe’s top late night R2 show and a link to stuff on Riley’s Saturday 6Music Show too. Biggedy biggedy bong sort as..

CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:

LOUISE a fit sounding property developer from Portsmouth 1
Daves Tedious Link
Foo Fighters Learn To Fly - Learn to fly is something that new born eagle chicks have to do once they’re old enough to leave the nest - “Nest” is a word that can be applied to tables - Tables rhymes with fables, which are written by Hans Christian Andersen - Hans Christian Andersen shares the same surname as Pamela Andersen, who has fake boobs a bit like Jordan - Jordan still appears to be dating Peter Andre - Peter Andre shares one of his names with Andre Previn, who is a classical musician and plays the piano - The piano is one of the heaviest instruments you can move into a flat, and could result in you giving yourself a hernia - “Hernia” shares many of the same letters as “Narnia”, which was a fictional place behind the wardrobe in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - Wardrobe shares the same word ending as bathrobe, which is something commonly stolen from hotels - Hotels can be found all around the world in such diverse places as Coventry, Singapore and Reykjavik - Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland - Iceland is, as the name suggests, quite “cold”, but is also apparently quite “funky” - and when you think of the words “cold” and “funky”, or if you prefer “funky” and “cold”, in the context of great records, you think of Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc - Which links us to Tone Loc and Funky Cold Medina
FLAWS
*Hans Christian Andersen wrote fairy tales, Aesop wrote fables
*Technically Narnia was in the wardrobe in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, not behind it
MINI MOYLES UPDATE:>>> (Thanks a lot to Jono and Rob Holloway for both sending this over)
- Tomorrow Chris has the exclusive (?) first play of the new Robbie Williams single “Radio”
- There will also be more on mouldylookinstain and One Big Weekend after 8, plus more Secret Students after 9
- Today Chris is seeing his ex-marine trainer, and then might watch the annual Pluggers Vs Radio 1 Cricket match (yeah right..)
- Dom is getting into Sky Gamestar later (not literally)
- Aled’s off to the gym again as part of “Sexy September”, as is Rach who might even have a nice glass of wine afterwards (for a change)..

Foo Fighters Learn To Fly - Learn to fly is something that new born eagle chicks have to do once they’re old enough to leave the nest - “Nest” is a word that can be applied to tables - Tables rhymes with fables, which are written by Hans Christian Andersen - Hans Christian Andersen shares the same surname as Pamela Andersen, who has fake boobs a bit like Jordan - Jordan still appears to be dating Peter Andre - Peter Andre shares one of his names with Andre Previn, who is a classical musician and plays the piano - The piano is one of the heaviest instruments you can move into a flat, and could result in you giving yourself a hernia - “Hernia” shares many of the same letters as “Narnia”, which was a fictional place behind the wardrobe in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - Wardrobe shares the same word ending as bathrobe, which is something commonly stolen from hotels - Hotels can be found all around the world in such diverse places as Coventry, Singapore and Reykjavik - Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland - Iceland is, as the name suggests, quite “cold”, but is also apparently quite “funky” - and when you think of the words “cold” and “funky”, or if you prefer “funky” and “cold”, in the context of great records, you think of Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc - Which links us to Tone Loc and Funky Cold Medina
FLAWS
*Hans Christian Andersen wrote fairy tales, Aesop wrote fables
*Technically Narnia was in the wardrobe in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, not behind it
