Wes was covering early breakfast for Nemone today and screwed up his backtimings, meaning the show started late. Chris tried to tell Wes what he thought of him but Wes had no headphones on anymore so had to communicate via two way (meaning when his mic was on he couldn’t hear what Chris was saying). When Wes had his mic off Chris thanked him for a great show, but when it was on he called him awful, rubbish, a pillock and not as good as Nemone. It was a funny start...
Chris - I thought that went well
Dave - and Wes will be back Sunday afternoon from 4 with The Official Chart Show
Chris - Yeah....are you reading that or do you now know that?
Dave - I was just giving him a plug
Chris (laughs) - Well, whatever you want. I just shook his hand and said good morning...6:56
(hits RHCP vocal)

Chris was drunk on sleep this morning after having seven hours last night, more than he’s had before any breakfast show so far (he usually has four and a half or five maximum). He also had a bizarre dream last night that he was standing with that fat aussie pig Jono Coleman and his missus in a queue somewhere. Presumably at McDonalds. Chris said Jono’s wife was referring to him as “the nasty man”. Wes popped into the studio after the news at 7 and said that he too has been having weird dreams, as his body clock is still screwed up after getting back from America. He said at the moment he counts sheep to try and help him fall asleep but Chris had a better tip for young Wesley - record his own show on tape and press play as he tucks himself into bed...he’ll be snoozing away within minutes. Aled was the perkiest member of the team this morning, despite having the most reason not to be. He said he caught up on his sleep yesterday lunchtime though, having a big nap from half ten to half one (he was allowed to leave straight after the show at ten when he’s usually in work till one). In a Fast Show stylee, Aled said his extra three hours kip yesterday were “Brilliant!”. After waking up in the afternoon he then watched some of the old 70’s episodes of Starsky and Hutch on DVD, as research ahead of his role as red carpet reporter at the film’s UK premiere last night. After a quick shave, a tube back to Yalding House and a two hour afternoon meeting, Aled got a taxi over to Leicester Square to meet the celebs...and Simon from Blue (see below for more). He then got back to the studio at nine, edited the clips and went out for a meal at half past. Chris said it really was an amazing rock n roll lifestyle he leads. Chris turned down an invitation to the film’s premiere because he was meant to be going to see Jon Culshaw being interviewed by Parky at TV Centre (for the second time). The other guests as well as Jon were Bill Nighy from Love Actually and George Michael. The show goes out on BBC1 tomorrow night at 9 o’clock. However...
Chris - I got home last night about quarter past five and I just thought...I’m too tired to go. So I blew George Michael out last night...I believe that’s the first time that’s ever been said on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show
Dave - 7:17
(Intro to Enrique Iglesias feat Kelis)

Chris brought in The Rolling Stones compilation Forty Licks to use for this morning’s Buzz Off, but was unsure of which track to pick from it. In the end he chose the August 65 number one (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction, which would have played to the end if it hadn’t have been for timings. Rachel was first on 2:05, Aled next on 2:20, Chris third with a fake listener buzz on 3:10 and Dave last to buzz on 3:16 with 20 seconds left. Dave agreed it is hard to pick a favourite by the Stones, but he personally would have gone for Honky Tonk Women or Start Me Up. Chris said he is one of the few people in the world who owns a copy of The Satisfaction Skank by Fatboy Slim, which he wasn’t allowed to release but both Chris and Dave think is brilliant.

TOP OF THE SWAPS:
Disgracefully The King Of Tickets has been axed from the show after just one week, meaning a complete change of mechanic in the feature. It’s replacement is entitled Top Of The Swaps (partially influenced by a feature on Dave & Chappers Boxing Day football show last year). The footy tickets are now not given away for nothing, they’re given away in return for an item of the listeners choice. The best two offers via 08700 100 100 make it onto the air and then the studio panel vote on who they think should win. The prize up for grabs today was a pair of tickets to the Barclaycard Premiership match tomorrow at St Andrews (and it definitely is tomorrow) between Birmingham City and Leicester. Caller 1 was James from Halesowen in Brum who was prepared to swap a long play Video VHS Recorder with a remote control for the tickets (he said it was in good nick). Dave needs a new video so said it might go well with his stack. Line 2 was another Blues fan, Ian stuck in the snow on a lay-by on the A38. He was offering a pair of under used cycling glasses with purple tinted lenses. He said he hadn’t used them for two years since he fell off his bike into some nettles. Juliette and Rachel both voted for Ian to win and Dom and Dave went for James. Aled wasn’t around and Chris was not prepared to make the decisive call so he tossed a coin instead. It was heads and that meant James and his video won (perfectly for Dave). James will send the video down to the show in return for the Birmingham - Leicester tickets tomorrow...
James - Leicester will have half a team out won’t they?
Chris (laughs) - Well...
Dave - No comment
Chris - I really can’t talk about that for obvious reasons!!
Dave - We just hope that football is the winner

To be fair Top Of The Swaps was a fairly decent feature and ran quite smoothly overall, although let’s be honest - it was no King Of Tickets. While James was still on the line, Rachel asked him what the weather was like in Halesowen as she’s going out to an 80’s night in Birmingham tonight and was unsure of what to wear. James made Chris laugh by asking her where she wanted to meet him. Rache is going out to celebrate her friend Kate’s birthday. Dave suddenly realised at about 9:40 that it’s his sisters birthday today as well. She is 28, although he had to work it out first. Dave said she wouldn’t be listening as she’s away in Amsterdam. Rache wanted Dominic to alter his One Road Travel to One Train Travel this morning so that he could update her on the trains from London to Birmingham, as she will be catching one later. Dave is going to the Everton - Pompey game tomorrow and also wanted details from Dom of the traffic between junctions 17 and 18 of the M6 as he’d heard it was busy. Chris is going to watch Fulham v Leeds at Loftus Road tomorrow, although his mate who supports Fulham is conveniently away on holiday in Portugal. Dave said that he knew a few decent pubs for pre and post match drinks around there if Chris was interested (which he obviously was). Juliette is another member of the team going to the football over the weekend, she’s going home to watch her beloved Port Vale play Brighton in Division 2. Aled is going to the capital of England Manchester to see friends over the weekend, while Dominic is going to learn how to operate a radio desk (he was having technical trouble with the news today). The funniest football-related part of the show though was at 9:30 when Chris told Jules to mark his words, Arsenal and Chelsea wouldn’t be drawn to play each other in the Champions League. Two hours after the show finished the draw was made - and yep, it’s Chelsea versus Arsenal. Chris once again proving that he is the fountain of all football knowledge.

ALED AT THE STARSKY & HUTCH PREMIERE:>>>

As I mentioned earlier, Aled was out last night as the shows showbiz reporter on the red carpet of the new Starsky & Hutch movie. Him and Geordie Scott were packed into the third of the three main media areas (thankfully indoors for them as it was freezing last night), right before the entrance to the actual screening itself. Aled was in with Newsbeat and The BBC Asian Network and was the last person the stars saw before watching the film. This meant that after talking to all the TV, photographers, press and now radio interviewers - they were pretty peed off with answering questions by the time they reached Aled. Yesterday Chris had been given a list of all the stars going to see the film and had left them all personal messages and questions on the back of his little Radio 1 DJ Superhero postcards. Aled had said that that method worked really well, although much better with some than with others. Some of the others were David Walliams and Ben Stiller. Aled didn’t have the audio from Walliams but played Ben’s. He was quite funny with Dom the other week but last night with Aled he wasn’t at all (Dom gloated that it was all down to the interviewer). Aled did a funny sarcastic laugh when Chris played the clip of Ben. Chris’s question to Stiller incidentally was “You’re rich, can you buy me a car?”. Next up was Back To Reality winner James *posh twat* Hewitt, who didn’t turn up for an interview on Monday’s show because he was asleep. Chris’s question was the classic “Do you pee in the shower or bath?”, to which James unsurprisingly answered no (although at least he found it funny). John Fashanu (awooga) was next up the red carpet and Chris’s question to him asked whether he has ever considered signing up ex-Gladiators Wolf and Jet to play for his Bravo TV football team Fash FC. He said no but it was a good shout. Last but not least was Simon Webb from Blue. He’s the black guy from Manchester and is the by far the least annoying and most normal out of the four of them. Chris said he feels sorry for Simon and the fella who drives the van (Anthony), as they have to hang around with those two muppets Lee and Duncan all the time. Simon wasn’t on the list of confirmed guests so Aled handed him the generic male card question written by Chris, which read “You’re famous - do you fancy a pint sometime?”. Simon seemed very pleased with this (perhaps too pleased) and said “hell yeah” and “oh man”. Chris asked if these were the best A-List stars Aled could come up with - James Hewitt, John Fashanu and Simon from Blue. The answer was yes, although he did speak to Walliams and Ralf Little amongst others. Dominic graded Aled’s performance as an entertainment reporter as 3 out of ten, with 3 marks for effort but 7 lost for quality.

Chris did another dull link regarding four new Reverse-A-Word messages (supposedly) left by Scott Mills on Daves desk phone yesterday. Dave said Chris was bang out of order playing them on the air. Chris summed up the Reverse-A-Word saga up perfectly when he said “the whole nation is quite literally gripped.....to their sleeping tablets”. Chris played the new N*E*R*D record as well today, but unbeknown to him it was a tagged version with them telling people to listen to Radio 1 at the beginning. Chris told them to shut up as he was meant to speak there...
Chris - Check the Radio Times nerd boys, I think you’ll find it says The Chris Moyles Show...not the nerd show.....well, some would argue the same thing
(Rachel laughs)

The show had been sent two new drops from Janet Jackson that Chris played just before 10 o’clock. Dave liked them even though they were a bit cheesy - “Whenever I’m in the UK I always listen to the Saviour of Radio 1 Chris Moyles”. Later today, Chris is going to the gym for the third time this week. Somehow the topic of conversation turned to boxing and Chris told the story of how he went to boxing lessons as a kid, but in just his second week was thrown into the ring with some big guy who knocked him out. The guy didn’t know Chris was new and despite being encouraged to carry on and keep his guard up, Moyles ran off in tears. The story had a happy ending though as Chris said they went for a pint afterwards and it was all all right in the end...
Dave - How old were you? I thought you said you were only twelve
Chris - 26
(Dave laughs loudly as Chris plays trail)

Dave said he went to judo lessons as a kid. Well, only one as he got cramp in his foot, fell over and never went again. Chris said they really were “mean mothers”.
Chris - Don’t mess with us eh, I’ll cry and run away and Dave will get cramp

RADIO 1’S DIGITAL WEEK:>>>(For full details see Mon 8th March Review below or go here)
Playing for a DAB Digital Radio today was Libby, a 24 year old PE teacher from Worcester. The competition was at ten past nine and she wasn’t in work. She said she was ill and didn’t want to pass the bug onto the kids, so was staying at home today....and phoning up national radio shows to win a digital radio. Chris said she was wagging it. Libby got her question right (Chris’s voicemail message was recorded by Avid Merrion) and she’s now through to Monday’s big breakfast Digital Week final where she will be up against all the weeks winners in the battle for Radio 1’s “Digital Life” (see last Monday’s review for more). Because she is a teacher and sounded fit, Chris suggested they send some stuff to her school - perhaps some novelty rubbers, key rings, Chris Moyles mugs for the common room or some exercise books (nicked from the shop around the corner).
