Ahh another week, another... er five show reviews. You know that you are contractually obliged to read all five now that you have started reading this one don’t you? If not - check the small print. Chris and Dave both began today in upbeat boots, this after great weekends watching their respective football teams. Chris was at Elland Road on Saturday for a rare 3-0 Leeds win against Coventry, and Dave at the same time was over at Eastlands for Everton’s 1-0 win at Citeh. Unfortunately they didn’t call Zac back (a texter from last week) who said he’d streak through central Manchester with “I Love Comedy Dave” written on his buttocks if Everton won. Must have lost the number or summat. While Leeds and Everton had good weekend results, it was quite the opposite for Rachel’s beloved Kidderminster Harriers. Their 3-0 defeat at Swansea leaves them bottom of the entire football league - just seven days before the Moyles team come to town for their game with Macc. Chris said the slogan of the week is “get behind the harriers”. Dave quite rightly pointed out that no one can actually get behind them though, as they’re at the bottom. More (or rather the same info) in the team footy round up later. Aside from the game itself, Chris had a couple of observational comments to make about the Elland Road scoreboard at half time. For some reason it is now playing music videos... but totally random ones. On Saturday it was The Rasmus: In The Shadows followed by Andreas Johnson: Glorious. Chris said at City they must have had a compilation on called “Now That’s What I Call Manc” - as every song was by a Manchester band. It was the same last time I went to that ground - although you won’t be finding me complaining. Chris completed his weekend of football by taking a lar dee da visit to White Hart Lane for the Spurs - Norwich game with Sophie yesterday. He sat in the prawn sandwich boxes I think, and then went to meet his mate (and Spurs/England keeper) Robbo afterwards. I presume this was in the players lounge - where he incidentally spotted (and said hello to) the first of many Guess Whooes on this mornings show. It was quite liderally Guess Who mungus kids. In the players lounge Chris saw Jamie and Louise Redknapp with their new baby Charlie - and Jamie’s dad Harry (never heard of him). The team were on the brink of killing themselves after 5 minutes of unsuccessful guessing, although earlier in the link Dave had made a bit of a pigs ear of things. Having just been told by Chris that this group of four people were not musicians, Dave asked if it was The Corrs. Now some may say he has a point but I’m not that controversial *cough*. Funny thing was though, Chris had already revealed that this foursome (as it were) consisted of three MALES and one FEMALE, not the other way round. Mind you some may say that Jim counts as a female so Dave would have been wrong anyway, but again - I’m not that controversial.
(Rach and Jules continue to laugh off mic at Daves guess)
Dave (laughing himself) - Dominic?
Dom - Thanks Dave, I’ll pick up that baton..

Other Guess Whoees included Chris Martin, spotted on London’s Euston Road by Miss Juliette Ferrington - and Lee Ottoway from Hollyoaks (aka Bombhead)... spotted off his head and drunk by Mr Chris Moyles in Leeds on Saturday night. When I say “spotted” though I really mean “seen”, as Chris and him shared the back of a limo together. Chris said it was a long story, don’t ask. Dave said he wouldn’t have known where to start anyway. Chris’s big Saturday night out in Leeds was mainly spent at The Living Room on Greek Street - where he spent the evening with his Northern Irish mate Rossie from Radio Aire (usually referred to on the show as “Francis” - now there’s a nice target Status Quo reference for y’all). With loads and loads of random drunk women coming up to them both all night, Rossie finally got bored of explaining that he wasn’t Comedy Dave and just said yes, he was.
Chris - and I was also with my mate, y’know who’s 4ft 8 and walks with a limp. So sorry Dominic..
(Dom and Dave laugh)

Chris also told the story of how he was in the process of chatting up some stunning blonde girl he’d had his eye on all night (giving her the “alright my darlin” etc) - when her husband showed up with them both outside the toilets. Chris thought she’d been waiting for him y’see. Oh and apparently it’s different area codes Sophie, just in case Chris hasn’t told you and erm.. you read these show reviews. And if for some god unknown reason you do, then please seek medical help immediately. Oh and that South African slapper Vanessa from BB saw Chris in The Living Room on Saturday and told him that she liked his dogs parody - mmm, praise indeed.

A MOONWALKING ALED AND OZZY’S GUIDE TO BRUM:
Image
Aled Haydn *That’s Life break dancing champion* Jones (from 15 years ago) was showing off his old moonwalk again during today’s Tedious Link - Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. He then got nervous when asked to repeat it at half time. Chris said this was his whole thing again of pretending not to want the limelight... when he clearly does. I mean he won a national TV competition doing this dance for christ sakes. Rach thought it was rubbish though and even Aled admitted he was a bit rusty on the whole Billie Jean routine. Chris said he had that “stupid idiot gay dancing thing” going on. Clearly wrong of course cos you’d never associate the words “stupid”, “idiot”, “gay” and “dancing” with Aled ever. Ever. Chris and Dave are going to make him break dance in a rabbit suit on stage in Brum on Sunday - and if he refuses to do it, the three members of mouldylookinstain (Chris, Dave and Dom) will then kick him and push him off the stage all the way down into the press pit. Which doesn’t sound much fun (the fall not the press pit).

Culshaw is back on the show!! (hurrah). Albeit briefly. He is voicing a new segment this week building up to One Big Weekend in Birmingham - as the king of Brum, Mr Ozzy Osbourne. It’s over some classical number and basically Ozzy’s five part guide to England’s second city (behind Manchester of course). To listen to today’s segment open this in Real One Player. Today Ozzy advised us on balti curries and cultural stuff:
Culshaw (as Ozzy) - There’s loads to do in Brum now. It used to be a sh-(bleep)-hole, but now it’s a dead nice place to be
Buzz Off this morning was the shows first ever Buzz Off replay. By that I mean Chris chose a record he’s already used so far on Buzz Off this year - Let’s Dance by David Bowie (number one in March 1983). Chris checked the listings beforehand and said he hadn’t played it before, although Aled did some mid song research (perhaps on this site via google?) and found out that Chris played it back on Wednesday 9th June. Then it was played in full with only one Buzz. The same goes for today - except there were two. Aled on 2:05 and Rach on 2:14. Although the texters voted it Buzz On overall, one particular listener wasn’t impressed with Chris’s choice of tune. He sent a message in saying “You must be deaf! What is this? Braille FM”. Chris and Dave killed themselves laughing and said it was the funniest text they’ve had in months. Cos of course braille relates to blind people, not deaf people. The muppet. Other music on the show today included Liberty X, Travis, Outkast and Marilyn Manson’s cover of the Depeche Mode hit Personal Jesus. Dave didn’t like it at all, calling it a lazy lazy cover. Chris thought it was half decent though and said he wanted to hear it again:
Dave - That’s where you and I differ
Chris - I can’t believe you’re slagging off the music Dave
Dave - I’m not slagging off the music
Chris - You’re so unprofessional. Y’know One Love, One BBC, all that...
Dave - Oh I love hearing it, don’t get me wrong
(Chris laughs)

ONE BIG MINUTE TICKET GIVEAWAY DAY 1 - PLUS THE TEAM TALK TARGET:>>>
Image
Image
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/onebigweekend/birmingham)
All this week on Radio 1 is the “One Big Minute” - 60 seconds of free OBW tickets given away on the phones... when you hear the alarm call. Or rather the laser jingle effect that sounds nothing like an alarm. Rach was keen to continually stress the alarm could go off at any time:
Rach - Any time
Dom - Any time
Chris - Any time. I mean for example it could be in about 15 minutes..
Dave - Y’know at the peak 8:15 audience
(Dom laughs)
Chris - .. but at any time

Needless to say it did go off then - with Aled, Joce, Rachel and Jules manning the phones next door - and Chris taking two calls off the air in the studio. To give more people a chance of winning, the team took each callers name and number quickly - and then moved on. After 60 seconds the final total looked like this: Aled *phones* Jones - gave away 8 pairs, Jocelyn - 5 pairs, Jules - 5 pairs, Rachel - 4 pairs and Chris - 2 pairs. Remember Chris was on the air and couldn’t repeat their number out loud anyway - so he was bound to get less. Rachel on the other hand...
Chris - You only got 4 Rach? What were you doing? Chatting them up?
Rach said this mans reception kept going and she thought she’d be nice and wait for him. Chris said what’s the point - he’ll probably go and stick the tickets on eBay anyway. Chris ran through the weekend line ups again - saying he quite fancies seeing Tiesto on Saturday. He wanted to know what type of dance he plays though - trance like Jules or commercial stuff like Dave Pearce. Chris then said to be fair, Pearcey sometimes plays commercial stuff and other times real nose bleed stuff - like when they saw him at that club in Ibiza last year.
Dave - That was the night Rachel that he was sort of mashing it up in the main room and myself and Mr Chris Moyles..
Chris - Hello
Dave - ... were cutting cult flavours in the back room
Chris - That’s right
(Rach laughs)
Dave - ...in the specialist genre

Predictably there were the people who couldn’t get through moaning about it on the text. Chris said it was just like him when he tried to get through to Mike Read’s Saturday Superstore every week as a kid. Cue a nostalgic link about: Saturday Superstore, Going Live, Rock line, Matt Bianco, Five Star, Steadman of Five Star now looking like Kryten from Red Dwarf with all his plastic surgery... and of how Five Star’s dad left a message on Rachel’s phone. One text came in that just summed it up perfectly: “Target”.

THE CHRIS MOYLES TEAM BOOK SIGNING COMES TO BRUM:>>>
Image
Following on from the success of their book signing in Leeds a few weeks ago, Chris and the team are back out on the road again this week - this time on Thursday afternoon in Birmingham. There’ll be at The Students Guild at Aston University between 5:30 and 6:30pm. That’s building number four just behind the main building don’t y’know... cos I don’t. Signing starts at 5.30 and the team will supposedly sign until they’re bored. As ever it’s bring your own book, with the usual rules applying. A full list of them can be found here but here’s a few key ones:
- No bibles or porn
- No kissing or heavy petting
- No work boots or soiled clothing
- No flash photography
- No ball games
- No pushing or shoving
- No rich good looking self employed businessmen who fancy Rachel...
Chris - Actually no that’s allowed isn’t it Rach?
Rach - Good looking men is good with me
Chris - Yeah (laughs)... that’s the quote: (Him and Dave together) “Good looking men is good with me”
(Rach laughs)

Chris said on this subject he bumped into some cute girl who was at their Leeds book signing over the weekend. She said she’s a big fan of the show and has him as the screensaver on her phone and everything (bit of a weirdo):
Dave - Borderline stalker
Chris - Yeah but fit
Dave - mmm

Those type of stalkers aren’t so bad. I do not speak from personal experience here though. Chris said this girl wanted to come to Radio 1 for work experience and e-mailed Dominic Byrne about it. As yet though - no reply.
Dave - How rude
Dom apologised and said she won’t have had her reply yet, as he hasn’t written it. Kind of stating the obvious there slaphead. Rach told him to forward her a copy and she’d reply. Chris and Dave immediately butted in and said no - girls shouldn’t be involved in this.
Rach - But I’m the producer!!!

Aled - Do you like my Michael Jackson dancing Roy?
(big pause)
Roy - Good morning!
(Chris and Aled laugh)
Dom - Non committal really Aled
Aled - Fine


Daves Tedious Link
Faithless Insomnia - The lead singer of Faithless is a good friend of mine called Maxi Jazz, who was at my 30th birthday party - “Party People.. Friday Night” was a big hit for 911 - 911 is like the American version of 999 - If you flip the number 999 upside down you get 666, which is the number of the Beast - Beast rhymes with “Feast”, which is something that you might buy from an ice cream van - Ice cream vans always carry the slogan “mind that child!” - Child was a big hit for Mark Owen, as was Clementine, which is a type of small orange not dissimilar to a satsuma - If you remove the first four letters of “satsuma” you’re left simply with “uma”, as in Uma Thurman, the star of Kill Bill - Bill Beaumont used to be a team captain on A Question Of Sport, opposite Ian Botham - Ian Botham has a son called Liam - Liam Neeson is a famous Irish actor who starred in Love Actually, which was written by Richard Curtis - Richard Curtis shares the same surname as Tony Curtis, who was the father of Jamie Lee Curtis - Jamie Lee Curtis starred in A Fish Called Wanda - Fish blow bubbles - and Bubbles is the best friend of Michael Jackson - Which links us predictably to Michael Jackson and Billie Jean

POSSIBLE FLAWS TODAY:>>>
You’ve already heard about Aled’s moonwalking today, but here’s a few of the problemos him and the listeners spotted with Daves Tedious Link:
*Aled said 999 upside down isn’t 666, it’s a mirror image of 666. Cue a five minute link with Chris, Dave and Aled flipping paper. Entertaining radio - and they ultimately proved Jones wrong. I could see his point but Dave wins.
*Apparently Bubbles and Michael Jackson have fallen out and aren’t friends any more.
*There was also some debate as regarding the line about fish blowing bubbles, but Dave said they definitely do - when they open their mouths underwater to eat plankton and stuff.

MINI MOYLES UPDATE:>>> (thanks to Tipsy Dipsy)
- Today Chris has a friend coming around to fix his leaky bathroom
- Dave is putting pictures up in his Sky Lounge and getting gas for his heater
- Jules is doing loads of washing up (rock on)
- Dom is going to be interviewed about working in radio by a student magazine
- Oh and Aled will be practicing his Michael Jackson moves again
