The first half hour of this mornings show was very football heavy, with Chris taking the opportunity to mock all Man U fans after their 4-1 derby thrashing by City yesterday. Chris said he was sure the whole nation would back him as he offered his deepest sympathies to Sir Alex Ferguson and his team - “Your heart goes out to them doesn’t it?”. Quite rightly a barrage of anti-Moyles text abuse came in, saying “see you in division one”, “how can you talk?” and “Leeds scumbag”. Chris told the United fans to get over it, saying that if they think a 4-1 defeat to City is bad then they should try getting stuffed 6-1 by Portsmouth...fair point. Despite the fact Man U are now 12 points behind Arsenal in the Premiership title race, Chris still isn’t saying they won’t win it as he said that you write them off at your peril. Dave wasn’t arsed though and said they definitely wouldn’t win it. Liverpool fan Dominic wasn’t feeling too great about the weekend football (they lost 2-0 to Southampton) so him and Chris ran through some other sports that they could take up watching instead, such as Formula One. Chris said that’s a bit dull though and it needs some form of mid-race entertainment to liven it up - such as the drivers going off for a quick game of crazy golf. Juliette went home over the weekend and on Saturday afternoon headed down to Vale Park to watch the top of the table Division 2 clash between her beloved Port Vale and Brighton. It finished one all. Chris asked her if she had a good time...
Juliette - It was wet and cold but it was worth 15 quid I suppose
Chris - Well...(laughs)...quote of the morning so far
(Plays jingle)

Dave went to the Everton - Portsmouth match on Saturday and said it was a rubbish game but a great result (Everton won 1-0). Dave also thanked Dom for his One Road Travel advice on Friday, as he encountered no problems at all on his drive up the M6 to the match. You’ll no doubt have noted the lack of chat about Fulham’s 2-0 weekend win over Leeds...
Chris - That’s right, it’s a Monday morning and I’m talking about every other team in the Premiership bar Leeds
Dave - Best way

Chris went to the match and didn’t think were Leeds were too bad until they conceded the first goal. After that though he said their heads dropped and they were total ruuuubish. After going to the footy on Saturday, Chris was dragged out to the shops by Sophie yesterday. She was desperate to buy some new gear but got nothing, while he wasn’t even keen to go yet came away with 3 or 4 carrier bags of stuff. Last night Chris went out for a few quiet drinks with friends, but it ended up spiralling out of all control and he got to bed at half one this morning, meaning he had had just three hours sleep before the show today. Dave on the other hand was Mr Sensible and went to bed last night at 9:15. Today was the start of a brand new week of Buzz Off records and this mornings an inspired choice by Mr Moyles. He chose the fantastic Express Yourself by NWA (from May 1990). It was without a doubt one of the best Buzz Off’s ever, although Aled clearly didn’t agree. He buzzed first on 1 minute 52, Rache followed on 4:01 (she waited patiently for the chorus to make sure she didn’t crash the rap - Dave said she was such a professional), Dave himself was third on 4:17 and the listeners buzzed it off almost immediately after on 4:19.

CHART UPDATE WITH WES:
Wes was filling in again for Nemone on Early Breakfast today, so was live in the studio for this mornings chart recap with Chris at 7:40. Wes had marginally less than Chris’s three hours sleep last night as he didn’t get to bed till half midnight, despite the fact he had to be up at five to three. He blamed series 2 of 24 as he ended up watching five back-to-back episodes of it when he got home from doing the chart. Wes said it was just too addictive. Chris told him he’s more of a West Wing fan himself, he never got into the whole 24 phenomenon. Moyles came in to the station yesterday to pick up some stuff and stare at Geordie Kate’s backside. He said he walked past Wes in the studio but didn’t want to disturb him as it looked like him and his team were busy compiling the Official Chart. If anybody’s not heard about what happened with Wes and Mark and Lard on Thursday afternoon then you have to visit the messageboard here. The switch over from the Manchester studio to Scott Mills in London at 3pm didn’t work and instead you could hear Wes and his producer Lynne in another studio pre-recording some trails and jingles for the Chart Show. The sound files of the actual screw up and Mark and Lard’s reaction the next day are in the thread linked above but won’t be there to download for long, so take your chance and get it now. One of Mark and Lard’s e-mailers (Glynn) said that the moment with Wes deserves to qualify as one of their Great Moments In Pop - the phone, the silence, the “oh my god” from his producer when she realised they were on air and the sheer sound of terror in her voice - class. Chris didn’t mention this today though. He and Wes were far too busy discussing tales from their time in the pub together with Jon Culshaw on Friday night. Wes was chuffed to have met Jon and Dave thought he was great on Parky over the weekend (Jon not Wes obviously). Not only did Butters meet Jon on Friday night, but he also met Lee Evans on Saturday night. Evans lives a few doors down from his mate and Wes said that because he was dressed all in black with a black beret, he looked a little bit like Frank Spencer. Somehow DJ Casper and Britney have swapped places in this weeks chart with Toxic down to number 2 and the Cha-Cha Slide moving up to number one. Scott Mills is at least partially to blame for this after his endless campaigning, with Chris of course entirely to blame for Peter Andre’s Mysterious Girl hitting top spot last month. That therefore means that Radio 1 is responsible for two of the UK’s top five selling singles this week....feel the power.

IMPORTANT REVERSE-A-WORD NEWS:>>>
Yes hallelujah thank the lord, Dave has finally found a host to present the five minute Challenge TV pilot of his “exciting” new EQF Reverse-a-word. That host (surprise surprise) is Mr Scott *good mornin* Mills himself. The whole thing of Mills leaving voicemail messages on Dave’s phone was obviously a set up from the beginning, with him live on the phone at quarter to nine this morning to discuss it. Dave said he meant to ring Scott about the Reverse-a-word situation over the weekend but just didn’t have enough time. Scott wasn’t having any of it and said quite frankly, he was disappointed by the attitude that all the team have shown towards him. Chris said strangely enough “that’s what management said on Friday”. Mills said he had mistakenly thought the crew were his friends, despite that rough patch they went through a couple of years ago. Dave said he apologised for the regrettable conduct of his colleague Chris Moyles in the past few days (playing Scott’s messages out) and in an attempt to build bridges with him again, Dave offered him the job as Reverse-a-word host. Scott seemed pleased and thought this gig might open up a whole new window of TV opportunity for him now...hmm very doubtful. He has now progressed from UK Play to a <s>much</s> slightly bigger channel in Challenge and Scott was curious to know how his new show will work. Chris said he has put himself down as co-executive producer (cue barrage of abuse from Dave) and is thinking about surrounding Scott with a collection of stunning page 3 girls in bikinis. Dave was unsure at first...
Dave - Listen I’m not going to have my quiz show format downgraded by the inclusion of top heavy lovelies
However, when Chris told him he could meet them all after the show he thought it was a great idea. As host Mills will be kitted out in a shiny suit - Dave said he was still hoping for one of the major fashion labels to come in with a sponsorship deal. A text came in asking how listeners can volunteer to be contestants, although Dave clearly hadn’t got that far ahead in his planning as he simply responded with a time check. He’s going to have to think it out soon though as the date for filming is next week (sounds like the team are getting their first breakfast show holidays the week after next). The actual transmission date is April 13th on Challenge with the time slot TBA. Scott wondered if it would be prime-time but Dave was thinking more along the lines of him being the overnight success. Daytime producer Greyhead went into high level talks with Challenge on Friday and managed to negotiate an extra 2 minutes of air time, bringing the pilot’s total to a whole 7 minutes (Chris said possibly with a four minute ad break in the middle).

Dave had a Guess Who from the Everton match on Saturday. It was Liz from Atomic Kitten, who’s been a Guess Who at Everton before and finds Chris a bit repulsive. He said it was a pity because he thinks she’s really fit. Another scouser Chris fancies is Heidi from the Sugababes (although he used to call her on afternoons) and he said that all three Sugababes are looking mighty fine in the video for In The Middle (even Mutya?). Will Young was in the Live Lounge with Jo Whiley this morning and Chris played his new single Your Game just before half eight. He then rang him live to see if he was awake and listening to the show. He was 50% right...cos he was awake. Chris called his call “an alarm call from the nation”. Chris played out some funny jingles about him and Aled sung by Seraphim Suite, plus he also played the Janet Jackson jingles again that first aired last Friday. Chris had been quite impressed about getting them until he found out she had recorded some for Scott Mills as well. Following Dave’s suggestion, the nine till half nine period of the show is now officially known as “half time”. From now on, the first link after Tedious is officially recognised as “rubbish, random and long” by Chris. He said he would drop in the “ding” (correct sound effect) when most DJ’s would stop the link and play a record, but not him as he’s a self indulgent ego big head. In this link there was rambling about the kids from Fame, Kitt the talking car, Superman going bad and such other 15-24 year old references.
Dave - Hey, when we talk it’s target
Tomorrow is judgment day for Jones as Aled competes in the big Radio 1 200m race. The Welsh Wonderboy’s fellow competitors are potential Greek Olympiad Nemone, DJ Spoony, Colin Murray, Chappers and Parf Daddy. Aled is currently second favourite to win, according to the vote on The Radio 1 Race page here on Jo Whiley’s mini-site. Chris played out clips from various Radio 1 DJ’s saying who they are backing to win the big race. Only Chris and Jo Whiley are supporting Aled, with Dave Pearce the only presenter supporting Parf Daddy (Comedy Dave asked if he was in contract negotiations). Aled told everyone not to get their hopes up as the race is tomorrow and he’s yet to start training. He’s going for a run round the park with Rachel at lunchtime today though. Aled was also wondering what he should wear for the big occasion tomorrow. Dave suggested an aerodynamic suit, although Aled thought he’d look like a condom in that. Dave also had another suggestion - that they should shave Aled’s head. Vitty said that all top athletes do that “so they move faster through the air”....
Dave - Look, if we shave him....then he will win
Chris (laughs) - It’s a good job you changed the last part of that


RADIO 1’S DIGITAL WEEK - THE GRAND FINAL:>>>
The Chris Moyles Brits Tombola was back at ten to eight this morning, to randomly select four Digital Week finalists to play for Radio 1’s Digital Life of an iPod, a lap top computer, a hi-fi, a video mobile and a digital radio. The four randomly chosen out of the total 37 winners (Chris said it was like a cheap version of the FA Cup draw) were Kerry from Portsmouth, Charlie from Dorset, Joanne from Waddington...and the one and only Tanya from Leeds. Tanya is the fit sounding posh bird who won on Chris’s show last Thursday. Tanya was boozing all day yesterday and as a result she was sounding less sexy this morning, in fact more like Bernard Manning. The four girls were asked how many people logged on to Listen Again to listen to the special Chris Moyles Extra segment of last Wednesday’s show, within a 24 hour period of it being placed online. The girls each guessed one by one with Chris saying simply “higher” or “lower” after each answer. This went on for 2 minutes 22 seconds, until Tanya correctly identified the answer as 30,196 and won R1’s Digital Life. Chris jokingly asked Tanya last week to send in some bikini shots of her via e-mail. She said she did but a desperately searching Dave couldn’t find them in the system. She said that she’d send it in again this afternoon and told Chris and Dave to make sure they check...
Chris - Oh we will
