Something that happened to Dave yesterday was subliminally playing on Chris’s mind before he woke up for work this morning. Y’see, Dave being a pillock had woken up at 2:30 am yesterday and got showered and ready for work, thinking that it was actually half 4. He then realised it wasn’t and went back to bed, in the end oversleeping till quarter to six. It was no surprise therefore that almost the exact same thing happened to Chris today. He woke up at 2:30 and set on the end of the bed, before falling back to sleep and waking up again at half three, four and eventually his usual wake up time of 4:30. Because of all this, Chris was feeling wide awake, perky and ready to rock the nations this morning. The same couldn’t be said of Newsbeat’s Jon Stewart though, who sounded as miserable as sin in a clip in the 7:00 news. Jon was allegedly outside the Millennium Stadium, but Chris wasn’t convinced and said he needed some kind of proof. He didn’t believe that Jon would have been stood like a lemon on his own outside an empty Millennium Stadium at such a ridiculous time of the morning. His doubts stemmed from once seeing a Scottish entertainment news reporter (*cough* Kevin Geoghegan *cough*) recording a piece outside R1 HQ because he couldn’t be arsed to go down to Leicester Square to do it. This wasn’t the case with Jon though, who confirmed that he was outside the Millennium Stadium by sending in Dom some audio of him chatting to a random Welsh person. Chris said he believed him but still had his suspicions that Jon could have put the accent on himself and cleverly edited the clips together. Ah, the conspiracy theories. Buzz Off today was the third Rolling Stones Buzz Off track of the year, Get Off Of My Cloud from way back when in October 1965. Aled buzzed in first (for a change) on 2:36, Rach followed on 2:45, Dave was next on 2:50 and Chris then took the tune off on 2:52 (despite the text vote being 67% Buzz On). Chris ridiculed Aled cos he had no idea who the track was by or what it was called. I thought that was a bit harsh cos I too had absolutely no idea, although granted I am a fair few years younger than Aled. When Aled was asked to take a wild stab in the dark at the artist, he went for his dad. Chris said Mick Jagger might be Aled’s dad actually cos Aled is rear of the year and Mick does have a tendency to stick his arse out on stage. Hmm, yet more conspiracy theories. Chris did an impression of Mick but it was more of a visual thing. He then went on to impersonate Matthew Kelly and talk about going on Stars In Their Eyes as Mick Jagger or the drummer from Hanson, which was hilarious (just before 7:30 if you’re listening again). There was also another brilliant moment shortly after, when Chris talked about a story in Newsbeat that was reporting that the RAF had been thinking about training pigeons to go on bomb missions after WW2. Dave quite rightly pointed out that this was flawed, cos pigeons usually fly back to where they came from, meaning in this scenario that any undropped bombs would then explode back in Britain as a result. Chris did a great sketch in his posh, sergeant army type voice that got Dave pig squealing again. Well worth a listen if you’re online (Click here or here and go to roughly 40 mins in - only if you’re reading this before 28th May 2004 though).
LEARNING PORTUGUESE:>>>>
With their <s>easy three week holiday</s> tough punishing work schedule in Portugal coming up, the team need to brush up on their Portuguese. Dom and Jules won’t be going to Portugal, but Dom still wanted to help educate and inform Chris and Dave on some crucial phrases that they will need to have in their vocab repertoire when over there. To do this he has found the Portugese equivalent of *Aloha* Melody *Mahalo* (the show’s Hawaiian expert). She is a 24 year old called Mafalda and in charge of the PR at some random Portuguese hotel (Dom must have used the yellow pages). Here are some of the important phrases that she taught the team:
”HELLO” - Ola
”GOODBYE” - Adeus
”YES” - Sim
”NO” - Não
She also taught them Chris’s immortal line “tight tops, happy charities”, “it’s work not a holiday” and funniest of all “mmm...nice wheels”. Obviously I can’t be arsed finding the Portuguese translations to these.
SOCCER SIX - RADIO 1 TEAM CONFIRMATION:
With just two days to go to the big tournament, Manager Moyles had full confirmation this morning of the Radio 1 team that will be taking to the field this Sunday at Reading’s Madejski Stadium. Quite blatantly not organised by himself and Coach <s>driver</s> Dave, the ten man squad looks like this: Chappers, Spoony, Colin Murray, Michael Greco, Jim Alexander (Sky One Dream Team goalie), MC Harvey, Ralf Little, Phil “Tinhead” Olivier from Brooky and the ex-pro is Lee Sharpe. A fairly decent line up that should stand a good chance against the following teams:
- Snow Patrol (ex pro is Terry Gibson)
- Starsailor (ex pro is Paul Dalglish, once at my team Bury...and most other lower league clubs to be fair)
- “Six Amigos” (Hollyoaks and Mike “Squeaky” McClean from Richard & Judy)
- Blazin Squad (ex pro is Mark Bright...bet he’s chuffed)
- D-Side (plus Hollyoaks people)
- EastEnders (the six Londoners)
- Six life (Westlife, Danny Dyer and Mickey Thomas)
- Bryan McFaddens team (with Paddy Kielty in goal)
- Super Six (including Dean Gaffney, Lee from Steps, Tony Hadley, Paul Hardcastle and Mark King from Level 42)
Chris said that he’ll load up the old CD player for the journey up to Reading on Sunday. He’s been sent free Keane, Shaznay Lewis, Ash and Streets albums that he’s yet to listen to. So if anyone fancies a free Streets album (to burn it maybe) then Moyles has one going spare. Remember some tickets are still available for Sunday’s Soccer Six via the Radio 1 Live Events Line on 08700 100 100 (Option 2). Full details can still be found @ Radio 1 ONLINE too. I would definitely go if I was nearer, but instead I guess I’ll have to put up with a lie in...ah, shame. For full details of how the tournament is going, make sure you check out Vernon Kay and Edith Bowman on R1 this Sunday between 10 am and 4 pm. I’ll have all the reaction to the action (local radio sport..pop a doodle do) in Monday’s review.
THE MOYLES MILE:>>>>
As you’re probably aware, the BBC is bringing back it’s second rate version of Comic Relief this year - Sport Relief. All in a good cause of course and Sport Relief night this year is on Saturday July 10th. Also that day the BBC will be raising money with the Sport Relief Mile, which aims to get as many people as possible running a sponsored mile in the UK (complete with a stupid red sock). You don’t have to run it though (walking is fine) so it will therefore come as no surprise that Chris will be taking part in his own “Moyles Mile” on July 10th. He’ll be doing it in Leeds with Rach and Aled, while Dom and Jules will also take part in London. The mile kicks off at 1pm so Dave and Chappers will be on the air, but they will be doing it on two running machines in the world famous Radio 1 Live Lounge. Aled recalled the last time a treadmill was in the studio, which was that legendary Moyles moment when Greyhead Will tripped over his big flappy feet and fell off it (doing his knee in in the process). I might be wrong but I think that was in 2002. If you plod the mile it will be 15/20 mins at most, but Chris is still insistent that he needs to make good use of the six possible weeks training left before the run. In other words, pub all afternoon, kebab at night and a bacon butty in the morning...a fitter Moyles for 2004. Rach thinks the team should compare times but Chris said it was the taking part that counts. Bring back Big Blubber, that’s what I say. For more information on Sport Relief and a free registration pack, go to http://www.sportrelief.com/.
Chris wished Coxy good luck for this afternoon as it’s her final show on Radio 1 before she goes off to become a mummy. Not like a mummy in Egypt or owt, she’s having a baby. No matter what the papers say, Chris said him and Sara get on very well and were actually speaking to each other just yesterday (wow, close personal friends). Chris didn’t have much sympathy for her about the big lump she’s carrying around though:
Chris - Eh, now she knows what it’s like to be me
Dave - Yeah, carrying all that weight around
Chris - I’m telling ya. Boobs flopping everywhere, big belly in the way
Dave - For her it’s only a few months but for you it’s a lifetime
Chris - Eh Coxy, welcome to my world!!!
Chris said that her last show should be good as pregnant women are highly emotional and as we all know, tears equal ratings. Dave asked Chris how he knew what pregnant women were like. He said that Sara has been talking about it over the past few months. Dave’s obviously a keen listener to her show then.
Chris - She’s been going like “just be careful with me today cos I might burst into tears at any moment”
Dave - All girls are like that to some extent though (collective studio gasp)
Jules - What?
Rach - Dave!!
Chris (to Dave) - Well your wife is like that though cos she’s not the full shilling
Dave (pauses) - I, I don’t think that’s correct
Chris - Eh? Ok, she’s half a shilling?
Dave (laughing) - ...again, rude and unnecessary (Dom and Chris laugh)
At 9:30 quite an excitable discussion took place in the studio (partly on the air) about something very cool happening in the Radio 1 building. Unfortunately Chris said that he couldn’t divulge any more information about it until next week. He wouldn’t even let Dom hint. Keep it locked next week then kids. Other stuff today included Aled, Rach, Dave and Chris participating in a mini studio game of frisbee, with Rachel well and truly proving that girls can’t catch. Also this morning, Chris wouldn’t reveal details on a dream he once had about him and Britney (although he said that boy, did she go up in his estimation) and Chris also showed off his brand new (free) Real Madrid shirt that stunk the studio out. I’d also like to offer my congratulations to Rachel today, because it’s now three days in a row this week that she has managed to perfectly hit the vocals when announcing the number for Carpark Catchphrase. Today during a half time that turned slowly into a bit of a free for all as well. Firstly Aled was unimpressed by Dave’s “Let’s Get Ready To Ramble” intro, so attempted a longer version of it himself (good mornin'). Chris called him a loser but this conversation did actually bring up the subject of the old Bill Withers *how long can you hold your breath for* Holiday game. Now there’s a blast from the past...digging open that vault eh. After this, Dave wished happy birthday to his Uncle Dave and cousin Paul’s girlfriend Allie. Aled then wished happy birthday to Nicola upstairs, and said good luck to his uni friends Matt and Rich for their forthcoming zoology and IT exams. Rachel joined in and said hello to all the people she met in LA who would now be listening again to the show online. Seen as though the show was fast turning into a message board, Chris joined in and said thanks to whoever fixed his dads phone yesterday. His dad is still in hospital, and in a nice coincidence the guy on the bed next to him is an old mate from school. It’s a small world.
CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
DARREN a window cleaner from Huddersfield 2
CATHERINE a mum from Knaresborough near Harrogate 1
**After John Peel popped in yesterday for a chat, Jo Whiley was in before 9 am this morning too. Chris said that he was now officially friends with the legends and was feeling the love from his colleagues.
Chris - Well I’d love to feel Jo’s love
Dave said he’d never seen less chemistry between two people. It turns out that Jo heard the opening link at 6:55 (well she does commute from Northampton) when Chris called Nemone beautiful. In her first link she said she wasn’t jealous, but had found out that Chris was feeding them both the same “beautiful” lines every day.
Jo - Nemone if you’re listening, we’ve both been had...not literally of course
