Chris had got a gag, Will wanted to tease it but they were shot of material, so Chris said he may as well tell it now. He gave the team the choice of long or short punch-line music and they said they'd better use the long one to drag it out as much as possible.
Here's the joke:
Two Irishmen find a mirror in the road (Chris insists that most Irish people are actually really intelligent, this would be correct as we keep whipping your asses when the exam results come out).
The first man looks into the mirror and says I know that face, but I can't think of the name. The second Irishman looks into it and says Ah, you idiot. That's me! Cue long punch-line music.
Derren Brown will be on the show later. Dave and Aled had never seen him before, but Chris and Will said they're fascinated by his stuff. When Will phoned his agent he said 'Hi, it's Will Kinder from Radio 1' and Derren's agent said 'Radio 1, what's that?' Will also told the agent he was thinking of going to see the live act but his agent told him not to bother because it's not very good! Newsbeat was swarming down to the studio to try and get an interview with Derren, but Will refused to allow it before they'd interviewed him first.
Today’s Guest was Derren Brown.
Aled and Dave had never seen Derren’s show, so Chris got him to explain it. He said that it’s a sort of mind-control show, it appears as physic but its not, it’s all about predicting how people are going to think. They talked about a trick on his show, where he stood behind a screen and holds out his hands. The person on the other side of the screen had to put their hand over one of his, and he guessed which one. Nine times out of Ten he got it right. He said its all about following a pattern, each person would try and catch him out so you have to stay one step ahead. Normally he would just do it with one person but it worked the same way with ten as they can see what each other
Derren showed one of his tricks to Aled. Aled put a pound coin in one of his fists and Derren had to guess which one. He bet £50 that he would get it right three times. When Derren asked ‘is it in the right hand’ and ‘is it in the left hand’ Aled was told to say yes both times. Because his eyes flickered when he answered yes to right Derren guessed correctly which hand it was in. Then by guessing Aleds pattern of change he got it correct twice more, winning himself £50. This even impressed Dave, who commented: “You must be the king of rock, paper, scissors!”
Chris opened the phone lines and Derren predicted what letter people were thinking of. All through this Dave became more and more scepticle. Chris said that there was no way he was 32 because he had a huge bald patch.
Comic Relief UPDATE - Go to 92 clubs and pick a piece of memorabilia to each club. Chappers and Dave leave at 5pm. Chappers Choppers appeal revealed today that JJB Sports are giving them a donation of a helicopter. They first go to Wigan. Chappers is interested in getting a flick or red through his hair. Dave refused to dye his hair red. He wanted Blue instead but Chris said its Red Nose Day and not Blue Nose Day. Chris wanted a competition whereby Dave is against Chappers in a quiz and the loser gets their hair dyed red. Chris agreed to rig it so Dave wins. Daves replacements are
Monday - Tony Blackburn
Tuesday - Pete Waterman
Chris said Mr Stubbs for Friday so that means Ray Stubbs on Friday.
