Chris and Dave spent last night in the pub watching the very dull Sweden - England match which Sweden won 1-0. Chris thought the game was (cue Scott Mills voice) *ruuubbish* and a complete waste of time. Dave thought it was OK and said the one positive to come out of the night was Jermain Defoe. Dom watched the first half at home but turned off then cos it was boring. Jules also only watched the first half, leaving the pub at half time and then listening to the rest on the radio (and by the way that is correct - she did leave the pub before closing time). Chris said that the boozer him and Dave were in was invaded half way through the evening by what seemed to be the local youth club. Chris said one guy even followed him into the toilet to give him a CD. He asked if Chris would check his out his demo “man” and then wanted to shake his hand. Chris said he could do but he hadn’t washed it and was still urinating at the time.
Chris - Anyway, good morning everybody...there’s nothing quite like a nice glass of orange first thing in the morning is there, 6:57
(hits Black Eyed Peas vocal)

Following Monday night watching Travis, Tuesday night at the Nordoff-Robins charidee football gala and last night watching England down the pub, tonight will be Chris and Dave’s first night in this week. Dave said he is so excited about tonight (a sign that he’s getting old) and said he can’t wait to watch EastEnders...even though he doesn’t like it. Chris said he was planning a nice night in with his girlfriend Sophie...
Chris - You know, we might have a nice little romantic dinner for two
Dave - Candles? tablecloths?
Chris - KFC, yep you’ve got it

The main theme of the show again today was Reverse-a-word. Chris and Dave had to film some little promo ads for Challenge TV yesterday, with one-take Moyles having a go at Dave for his screw ups. Chris watched the new Celebdaq with Jenny Eclair and Joe Mace on BBC3 last week and said it would fit nicely into the TV schedules alongside Reverse-a-word (it is truly terrible in other words - in fact, it makes Johnny Vaughan’s shed show look good). Having picked the people to be in the Reverse-a-word audience yesterday, it was now time for Chris and Dave to find two contestants to be on the show alongside team captains Rachel and Aled. They auditioned five people on the air today, all of whom had to impress them with their singing over the now infamous 17 second Reverse-a-word jingle. First up was Kirsty, a housing officer from Lowestoft. Dave didn’t think she was very good and Chris said she had the worst voice he’d heard since Michelle McManus. Next was Elizabeth, a pre-school teacher and cinema worker from Stevenage in Hertfordshire. Dave thought she was marginally better than Kirsty and Chris seemed to give her the sympathy vote because she had sacrificed catching her bus to take part in the competition. Justin (a lorry driver from Truro) was better, with Dave applauding him when he said he’d been an avid Reverse-a-word follower from the beginning. Nick Jackson was next, an estate agent from London. He said he was still a little “half cut” from last night and his performance reflected that, being funny but abysmal.
Chris (to Nick) - Give us your telephone number and we’ll write
(Dave laughs)

Pete Tong soundalike Karl was better, he was on the line next. Karl said he’d been listening to the show since 7am on his Sky Digital. Chris wanted to hunt down and kill the person who’d written out the Sky blurb for the show. It says “Hold onto your breakfast because Moyles is here. The mayhem continues with Carpark Catchphrase and Tedious Link”. Chris said he hates the word “mayhem”. Dave wondered whether the show could threaten whoever wrote that with legal action. Karl was from Biggleswade in Bedfordshire, which Chris said was mentioned on one of his jingles when he used to work at Chiltern Radio.
Dave - I once stopped at a Little Chef in Biggleswade
Chris - Did you?
Dave - Yeah, on the A1
Chris - That’s fascinating, what do you do Karl?
Karl - I’m a surveyor
Chris - Oh like Destiny’s Child
(Chris and Dave laugh, Rachel boos)
Chris - Oh come on Rachel!!!
Rachel (off mic) - Rubbish!
Chris (sings) - I’m a Surveyor!!


ALED IN COMPANY MAGAZINE:

(Aled at his photoshoot back in January)
Chris mentioned this a couple of months ago but included alongside the usual soap stars, sportsmen and city slickers in Company Magazine’s new list of Britain’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelors is the breakfast shows very own Aled (and no there hasn’t been a mistake). Tonight is the big Miss World pageant-esque event where the 50 men are paraded on stage in London with host Tara Palmer Bananarama Tomkinson (Rachel and Jules are going to the event with Aled tonight). Aled said there would be 48 hunks on the stage, then him and Jon Tickle tagged on the end. Chris said he was liking the fact that Aled had kept some of his stubble in his magazine pic, although he said he definitely didn’t look hunky in it.
Aled - Oh really, did I not pull that off?
Chris - Well I don’t know about that but you don’t look hunky

Aled said to be honest he really hasn’t a hope in hell of winning. Chris thought he was putting himself down there though, as he flicked through the May edition of Company Magazine and wasn’t impressed with what he saw (despite being “not gay or owt”). Chris thought a lot of them were just abusing the privilege that we all have to be ugly. "Famous" people in the list include some bloke from Shattered, Alistair Griffin from Fame Academy 2, Danny from Emmerdale, some other people from Casualty, Footballers Wives and The Salon...and that annoying tosspot Federico from BB4. 600 girls pick 10 out of the 50 blokes to go through to the next round and the other 40 go into a New York type dating thingy where they date girls who’ve won the chance to meet them. You therefore can’t affect the main vote, but you can vote for Aled to win the Welsh regional final via text. Just text COMPJONES (which Chris said is what they call him round the office) to 85100. Texts cost 50p. Looking at the list, Chris said he didn’t think (let’s face it know) that all 50 of them were straight. Yet in their “Ideal woman in five words” answer, none of them had put “I do not like women”. Aled put funny, genuine, passionate, honest and warm (which amused Chris cos he said there’s nothing worse than a freezing cold woman). Dave was surprised Aled hadn’t included “blind”, “desperate”, “grateful” or “woo woo drinker” in his list. Here are some more of Aled’s answers:-
BEST QUALITY - Loyalty (Chris said he should have put making tea)
WORST QUALITY - Biting his nails (Chris said he could think of a few worse)
FAVOURITE FILM - Kill Bill Volume 1 (Chris said that’s not true, it’s The Sound Of Music)
SECRET ROMANCE WEAPON - “Just being myself” (cue violent vomiting from Chris)
MOST ROMANTIC MOMENT - a surprise weekend horse riding in Loch Lomond (Chris asked Aled to explain himself)
Aled - We did a roadshow there once with Zoe Ball and I liked it so much that I went back
Dave (laughing) - ON A HORSE? Why didn’t you get the train?
(Chris and Aled laugh)

WHAT’S SEXY? - Someone that makes me laugh
Chris - What like..
Dave - Jasper Carrott?
Aled - Dawn French
Chris - Yeah that kind of thing

WHAT’S NOT SEXY? - Arrogance (Chris said possible alternatives could have been a moustache on a woman, hairy feet, face moles, head lice or Lisa Riley)

IT’S ANOTHER TRUE STORY...ON RADIO 1:
Chris said that he thinks the show needs to not only entertain the Radio 1 early morning audience, but also inform them about stuff that they didn’t know. Hence true stories throughout this morning’s show, over cheesy beds with Chris using his local radio voice-over voice. Dave (as usual) called it “infotainment”. Chris added that it was also a totally original Radio One feature (factoid). If you missed the show today then here are some of Chris’s great true stories that you missed out on...
- Dolphins can both read and write books
- Jay-Z’s real name is Jeremy Zeppelin
- Liam Gallagher owns four forklift trucks
- Cilla Black owns a shoe shop in Dunstable
- Michael Jackson collects key rings and novelty rubbers
- Robbie Williams is allergic to tea
- David Attenborough only has three toes on each foot and has to have his shoes especially made in Sweden (fact from Dave)
- Ricky Gervais has no body hair below his chin
- The Sugababes girls are addicted to sugar
- Arsenal striker Thierry Henry washes himself up to 7 times a day
- Pete Waterman once dressed as a nun in a local church fancy dress competition
- Gwyneth Paltrow hasn’t shaved her legs since 1995
- Richard Whiteley does all his own DIY and has just thatched his roof entirely from Weetabix (another fact from Dave)
Chris - I mean you’re gonna have so many facts tonight when you go down the pub, you’re gonna just like blow all your friends away
(Dave laughs)
Chris (laughing) - I’ll rephrase that...
Dave (interrupting) - What a night!!
Chris - ...you’re gonna be full of so much infotainment
(Dom, Rachel and Jules laugh)
Dave (still laughing) - I’d just popped out for a beer!!
Chris - Eh? Well tuck yourself back in luv and get back to the bar..good mornin
(plays jingle)

Chris and Dave were taking the pee out of Rachel’s Kidderminster accent again today, saying that she sounds like Zippy from Rainbow. A full link of retro Rainbow chat followed, with Chris dedicating it to the older members of the audience listening. Dave said “more like the parents of our audience”. Dave then went into one of his pig squeal laughs that got everyone laughing. Chris sent him out of the studio to allow Dom and Jules to concentrate before reading the 9:30 news and sport. He gave them a minute to recover and filled it by playing the Wimbledon theme tune.
Chris - Do you know I’ve got to say, we were playing this so we could all stop laughing but it is actually better than half the playlist
Chris gave out the rest of the daytime schedule on Radio 1 today (with it being April Fools Day). It was George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley at 10, Elton Welsby at 1, Dale Winton’s drivetime at 3 and Vanessa Feltz sitting in for Dave Pearce at 6. Buzz Off this morning was Ben Folds Five and Battle Of Who Could Care Less, which went in with a bullet at number 26 back in March 97. Rachel was first to buzz on 55 seconds, Aled next on 1:09, the listeners third on 2:05 and Dave last but not least on 2:33. He said he thought that the Ben Folds Five were much underrated. Dave also likes the debut single by Natasha Bedingfield called Single, which Chris played this morning (it’s released on the 3rd of May and Natasha is a guest on Vernon Kay’s new show this Saturday). Also on the show today were those Jamelia and Ultrabeat records that everyone is sick to the back teeth of, plus a classic by Blur from 1995 (Country House) which it was good to hear again.

Daves Tedious Link
Van Halen Jump - “Jump!!” is the worst thing you could say to a person standing precariously a top a tall building high above the city - City Slickers was a film starring Billy Crystal - Crystal is famously produced in Waterfoot in Ireland - Ireland is the birthplace of Graham Norton - Norton are famous for making motorbikes - Motorbikes don’t often have radios - Radios need an aerial - Aerial is the name both of an in house BBC internal publication and a type of washing powder - Washing powder is traditionally sold in box form, as are cornflakes - Cornflake packets have traditionally featured a picture of a * - Another famous thing to feature a * is the French rugby shirt - French rugby shirts are predominantly blue - Blue are a band consisting of four members and in that respect share something in common with The Four Tops - and The Four Tops were I think from Detroit in America, the same city as Eminem - Which links us to Eminem and My Name Is*

*Cue a quick round of the old afternoon show “My Name Is” game. Dominic won convincingly by saying his name was Boutros Boutros Galli.
