Croaky Chris had a bit of a sore throat this morning. Not due to a lack of sleep (cos he got loads last night) - but due to too many cigarettes and late nights throughout the years. Moyles therefore had a message for all the kids listening who are going back to school today - don’t smoke. It’s bad for you and all your friends who smoke...will die one day. I know. Enterformation (as Dom would say) for the UK. Chris said he was just eager not to sound drunk actually, just so Miss Whiley couldn’t have another go at him like she did at ten o’clock yesterday. Dave and Chris did have five jars each before getting off home early last night, but they agreed to call it 3 after 8 when Daves wife Emma would be listening. Rachel could only laugh. Chris said she was looking pretty in pink this morning:
Chris - How embarrassing turning up to work and seeing Dominic in the same outfit!!
(Dom, Jules and Rach laugh)
Dom - ...of all the days

During the first segway of the morning Chris nipped into the smoking room at Radio One for a quick fag (hi kids). In there as usual was Radio One’s French cleansing operative Michel - a very nice man who usually takes time out to chat to Chris, Dave and Rach each morning. Today though Chris wasn’t happy with him, as instead of having Chris’s show and Radio 1 on (bearing in mind he’s working in the station) - Michel had opted to listen to a tape on his walkman. Chris was borderline furious...
Chris - Now seriously, if we can’t get our own cleaners to listen..
(Dave and Aled laugh)

Dave said not to worry - Michel was probably listening to some stupid European music like Vanessa Paradis or Jean Michel Jarre anyway:
Chris - What’s he listening to Aled?
Aled - Christian rock and roll
Chris - Christian rock and roll?
Dave - I’ve never heard of him!!
(Chris laughs)
Dave - ...I’ve heard of Kristian Leontiou
(Chris laughs again...)


A ROBBIE EXCLUSIVE:>>>>
It’s gonna divide the nation big time. The new song by Robbie that is - entitled “Radio”. Chris gave it it’s first two Radio 1 plays on his show this morning - and Rach said perhaps even it’s first anywhere seen as though they played it early at five past 8. Chris said he didn’t really care as all the commercial stations playing it are no marks that no one listens to anyway. Not totally true but we see his point. Moyles did get slightly annoyed though that Capital FM in London were claiming they had an exclusive first play with Johnny Yawn at 8:15, when he’d already played it. Rach didn’t want Chris to give out the Capital text number and encourage people to contact Vaughan though... so Chris said he wouldn’t. Adding that the number was 83958. As for the song itself - it was co written with Steven “Tin Tin” Duffy and is very different to his usual stuff. The texts were split 50-50 and Aled and Dom liked it, this while Moyles, Rach and Dave think it’s a grower. I personally thought it was crap - just my opinion. Bound to grow on me though. Some of the texts were also rather unfavourably comparing it to The Human League, The Buggles’ Video Killed The Radio Star and erm... Toyah. Maybe that’s the new sound Robbie’s going for these days..

RAY STUBBS LIVE ON THE PHONE TO CHAT BALLS:>>>
Image
...of the football type. Ray said he was fine and asked how Chris and the team were all getting on. Moyles said OK, but this crap summer weather is getting them all down a bit - thank god they went on that month long <s>holiday</s> work trip to Portugal eh? Having said that, Chris said today is looking hot and sunny in London - and he invited Ray round to his back garden for a few pims this afternoon:
Ray - Whereabouts? You're sort of North London way aren’t you?
Chris - Er no...I live in a non specific area of the UK Ray
(Dave laughs)
Ray - Oh sorry of course..(Chris laughs loudly)..I forgot about the security net that clamps around you as soon as you leave the studio, yeah..

Otherwise Chris gets the pepperami round y’see. I mean he can’t be getting hassled, what with him a big star and all. As regards the weekends World Cup Qualifiers, Stubbsy is pleased England, Wales and Northern Ireland are all in the same group - as it’s a bit like the old home internationals all over again (target). The big match of the week involving those teams is Wales v Northern Ireland in Cardiff on Wednesday. England have Austria away tomorrow and Poland away on Thursday, and Ray made the point that we always seem to draw those pesky Poles in every bloody qualifying group we play. Ray was optimistic about our chances (and by “our” I mean England’s), saying that on paper we really have a squad that can go places. We have had that for years though - although we’ll leave that topic for another time. Chris asked Ray how Steven Gerrard’s chances are rated in terms of him making tomorrow night’s match. Ray said he’s doubtful due to a groin strain (cue the cheers and clapping in the studio). Dave said he shouldn’t play then as you never take a chance with a tight groin - well at least that’s what he says to the wife anyway...
Chris - Seriously I’ve gotta tell you, Aled’s having a heart attack next door through the glass...
(Ray and Dave laugh)
Chris - ...only cos he’s very excited about the Wales game
Dave - mmm

A game that Ray thinks they’ll win tomorrow btw - that’s away in Azerbaijan. He also predicted weekend wins for England and The Republic, plus a draw for NI in their game with Poland (live on MOTD, BBC1 tomorrow) - but unfortunately he thinks the Scots will get spanked by the Spanish tonight. I think they might be able to scrape a dr....ah screw it, no one cares. After being dominated by Dave and Ray (mainly Dave’s strategy with Emma so he can see all 3 games tomorrow back to back), the conversation finally got back to Chris for the final point. He gave a generic “good luck” to all the home nations and said at least one of them needs to qualify - just so the team can go out to Deutschland for a month long break in 2006.
Ray - Tell Aled to mind his groin warming up
Chris (laughs) - See ya Ray!

MUGS, McDAVE BISCUITS AND MORE SECRET STUDENTS:
As the title may suggest, a rather bizarre half time this morning. The discussions main talking point was a range of unnamed biscuits *cough* McVities *cough* that had been sent into the show with a nice mug in a big PR stunt as part of their “Dunk for Britain” campaign. Chris and Dave were unhappy to find though that Rachel had gone off willy and indeed nilly to steal the mug “for her own personal selfish usage” - leaving them to dunk in those disgusting polystyrene cups. Dave said they should have played papers, scissors, stone to see who got the mug - but Rach still claimed she hadn’t stole the mug as such.
Dave - Chris and Dave win. Fact..
Rach - Well tough, I’ve still got the mug!
(Aled laughs)

Remember though she’s a BBC employee who shouldn’t be accepting branded mugs and giving free plugs to McDaves (as they were being referred to). Somehow this conversation got onto the subject of the Radio Times and why the BBC advertises that. Chris said he didn’t know if the other members of the team were aware of this, but the Radio Times used to have it’s own jingle on Radio 1. They didn’t believe him:
Aled - Sing it
Chris - Aled, do you honestly think that I’m that sad that I’d remember how the jingle goes?
Aled (straight away) - Absolutely
Rach - Yes
Chris - Yeah OK *sings jingle*

Rach interrupted this fascinating conversation to say she’d now finished with the mug if Chris wanted it. He said no - and told her to stick it on her head. Her facial expression changed immediately and she crossed her arms. Dave said that was a clear barrier saying “keep away boys”...
Dave - Y’see we can read body language..
Rach (interrupting) - What’s this one saying then?
(all laugh - a double barrelled salute y’see)

So this Sunday is the cut off date for Secret Student, meaning we only have another couple of days worth of contenders left - that before the ones through so far start getting whittled down even further. Today’s ones were as follows then:
- Some loser who plays the trumpet and said Dizzee Rascal was awesome at Reading last week. Nuff said really.
- Next a good try by some guy going down the anti “wacky and crazy” route with his message, but not quite good enough to put him through.
- It was a different story for the next student though - a 19 year old girl from Belfast off to do a marketing degree, who had possibly the fittest accent ever. Not quite as fit as that of Annie Mac (omg)...but fit nonetheless. She also had 007 as the last 3 digits of her phone number - which she said had to be some kind of omen that she’d be a great secret student. She’s on the “yes shortlist” anyway...
- As is the last contender who sounded like some kind of dirty slapper...and whose claim to fame was that a Radio 1 DJ once called her a lesbian live on air (probably Chris). She also added that she could come into the studio anytime for them to check out her credentials - good mornin’..
*clip ends*
(Chris and Dave make collective “whoa!!” sound)
Chris - Man! Yes!
Dave - She sounds mega fit..

Away from Secret Student, Chris had also received a note on one of his DJ postcards from 2 student girls. Both of whom have recently moved in around the corner from Radio 1 and are now offering both Chris and Dave “love and sexy hugs”...plus a cup of tea round their place. Aled thought they were being a bit intense and forward really...
Chris - Yeah but y’know sometimes forward is good
Dave - mmm. Better than backward... so to speak
Chris (laughs) - What does that mean?
Dave - 9:05


A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER RANDOM STUFF ON THE SHOW TODAY:>>>
Image
(Chris crashes Ashlee Simpson vocals plugging The Thrills on Jo Whiley’s show later)
*stops record*
(Aled and Rach laugh)
Chris - Shut your face you yankee doodle! I’m talking!!
Dave - You crashed the vocal!! That was rubbish..
(Rach laughs loudly)
Chris - I’m sorry about that. Little sexy minx Ashlee Simpson making me look like an amateur...people will think I’m Johnny Yawn

Chris and Dave saw the video to that song while in the pub last night. They said it was good - but no way as good as the Eric Prydz video that they’ve now seen. Chris said he’d love to go meet the blonde who leads the aerobics class in that cos she’s got huge cans. Tell it like it is why don’t you Chris. Buzz Off this morning was a terrible pick by Moyles - It's Raining Men by The Weather Girls (number 3 back in November 84). Dave correctly buzzed it off after just 4 seconds, calling it total muck. I just find it totally amazing that Chris actually owns this record (but should I?) - and I think that finally nails the “campest” debate to the floor once and for all. Thankfully 65% of the listeners buzzed it off, but Rach and Aled waited till virtually the 3 minute mark before finally getting rid of it. Other stuff this morning included the story of how Chris and Will almost met Natasha Bedingfield the other day, Dave moaning about Chris’s irritating answer phone message from Big Brother’s Nadia, and the team discussing inflatable blow up pubs for backstage at One Big Weekend - no darts allowed. There was also a quick look forward to Monday, which is a very special day on Radio 1. Marking ten years since the release of Definitely Maybe by Oasis - in my opinion the best debut British album of all time (along with the Stone Roses) - there will be a special Evening Session Reunited on Lamacq Live with Steve and Jo Whiley from 9 o’clock. Noel Gallagher will be their special guest and also to be given away is a special piece of Definitely Maybe artwork, signed by Noel and Liam themselves. That will be given away with Chris on Monday - so make sure you’re listening from 7 for your chance to win.
*The DVD is also out Monday btw and there is a special preview of it tonight at 11:35 on Channel 4.

(What’s up for grabs on Monday folks)

CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
JAMIE a top sales rep from Milton Keynes 2
MATT a hotel chef from Cambourne in Cornwall off on a fake booze cruise 0

**Chris (to Matt) - Something tells me that you’ve already started on the booze...
Matt - *makes random cheering sound* Get on!! (laughs)
(pause)
Dave - No thanks
(Chris laughs)

Daves Tedious Link
Tone Loc Funky Cold Medina - Funky Cold Medina was a big hit in 1989, the same year interestingly that the Berlin Wall came down - The Berlin Wall situation was the theme behind the song “Wind Of Change” by The Scorpions - Scorpions have a sting in their tail - The plural of tail is tails, which is the opposite of heads - Heads need to be held high - High is the title of a beautiful record by Feeder - Feeder are led by singer/songwriter Grant Nicholas - Nicholas Witchell is a famous newsreader from a golden age, and in that respect shares something in common with Moira Stewart - Moira Stewart shares the same surname as Rod Stewart - Rod Stewart used to be the wrinkly love interest of Rachel Hunter, who is from New Zealand, a bit like Zane Lowe - Zane Lowe shares the same surname as both Rupert Lowe and Rob Lowe, who starred in St. Elmo’s Fire - Fire can be caused by the careless use of matches - Matches are ignited when the sulphur based tips are heated through the medium of friction upon a rough surface, and this process of ignition is commonly known as a “strike” - Which links us to Strike and U Sure Do* (*I bloody love this song)

MINI MOYLES UPDATE:>>> (thanks to Jono*)
- Next week find out what happened when Aled went off to an exclusive press conference to interview Richard & Judy
- All day on Monday Radio 1 will be marking 10 years since Definitely Maybe was released (hurrah)...and Chris will also be giving away art work signed by Noel and Liam (as mentioned before).
- Rachel is spending the weekend in Plymouth for her friend Emma’s hen night...drinking.
- Aled is off training today and Dom off to see a preview screening of Chris’s new film Wimbledon. Dom is looking forward to interviewing the cast, and may even interview Chris himself. Wow...
Image
Also coming up at some point this week will be the first play of Comedy Dave’s new parody on The 411 song Dumb - entitled “Bum”. Dave said it’s essentially a story about someones upset stomach, which was originally entitled “runs”:
Chris - So a bum with the runs?
Dave - Well kind of but it’s more sophisticated than that
Chris - Great... (starts bed)


*Thanks to Jono for all his hard work sending me the Mini Moyles updates these past few weeks.
