After a quick chat with young Wesley at the five to seven hand over, Chris played a jingle, the “Bellas Rodas” clip and then Toxic by Britney. A brilliant text came in straight away from Eddie:
Chris (reads Eddie’s text) - Chris can you please stop saying nice wheels in Portuguese as I talk in my sleep and my wife thinks I’m having an affair with Bella Rogers
(Chris, Dave and Juliette laugh)

mmm...bellas rodas. With the team just over a week away from their trip to Euro 2004, Chris is becoming concerned that England may not be playing more than their three group games over there (note to Chris: stop calling them “qualifying games” as well, we’ve already qualified). England drew 1-1 with Japan last night and Chris said it was a shockingly bad performance. He called the display awful & rubbish and slagged off a clip in the sports news of David Beckham, who said it was “a good workout”. Chris said that it just wasn’t good enough and despite claiming that he wasn’t a “Beckham basher”, he said that David should be wearing the England shirt with pride when he plays and not just treating it as a training match. He also banned Juliette from referring to Steven Gerrard as “Stevie G” cos he said she doesn’t know him well enough to call him that. That’s funny cos I could have sworn a minute earlier he was calling David Beckham “Becks”...*sigh*...so much to say but where to start? Right I’ll try here - I was at the England game last night and we played really well for the first 35 minutes, as well as we have done in a long time. I bet ya Moyles wasn’t moaning then was he? Claiming that Beckham or any of the other England players weren’t wearing the shirt with pride is just ludicrous, just because they had a poor 65 minutes doesn’t mean that they aren’t playing with pride...although after watching Leeds all season I can see where Chris could get mistaken. He should be getting behind the team, but if he wants to criticise them then at least make it constructive. The truth is though that he can’t. Chris can’t talk tactics or formations cos he doesn’t know what he’s talking about - not one bit. If he had explained his criticisms (e.g explaining who he would play in the diamond and where we went wrong last night), then maybe I wouldn’t be getting so worked up about it. Also the fact that I was there and saw them “wearing the shirt with pride” with my own eyes has something to do with me getting annoyed as well. Let’s just hope Chris is a bit more supportive when he goes to watch England’s matches against France, Switzerland and Croatia...jammy sod.

After his appearance on BBLB last night, Chris said he tried to tune in for the footy commentary on Radio Five Live on his way home - but wasn’t sure whether he’d got the right frequency or not. Jules told him that it was 909 & 693 AM. Chris said he got to hear the game, but just didn’t know if it was the right station. He played out the commentary...which was entirely in Japanese. Dom said it didn’t sound like John Murray or Jonathan Pearce to him. You could just about make out words such as “Scholesa” and “Gerrado” in the clip, which was very funny. Dom tried a bit of on the spot translation which impressed Chris. Dave said he watched Chris’s appearance on BBLB last night and thought it was ok. Chris watched it back and thought it was alright too. I saw the repeat this morning and thought it was your typical Moyles on TV...not great I’m afraid. The good news however is that Dermot and Chris hugged, smoked the pipe of peace, swapped numbers, bonded and bought each other a pint afterwards (not to mention the fact that they seemed to be wearing identical dark green shirts...although admittedly Chris had the XL version on). Chris said Dermot didn’t go back to watch the game in the pub with him though as he said he had to be up early in the morning.
Chris - What earlier than 4:30?

OVEN CHIPS, HENMANIA AND MORE STICKER BOOK STUFF:
Yesterday afternoon Chris, Dave, Rachel and Julian (from press) all got a cab down to the Big Brother set at Elstree. They went on the camera run, with the most bizarre moment being when Victor and Ahmed were washing up and staring right at them all right through the two way mirror. On the way there though, they got into a conversation about what food they will be needing to take with them to Lisbon next week. Dave said oven chips for Chris definitely. This stems from the fact that Chris has been invited to Hell’s Kitchen by Matt Goss (who he’s bizarrely never met before), but is refusing to go on cos he’s never seen chips in any of the dishes. Julian put forward the idea that McCains could send some free oven chips over to Portugal for Chris, as it would make a great press story. They couldn’t say the company name “McCains” so Dave described it as a range of Scottish walking sticks. Rach told Chris that Jennifer Ellison did make chips and steak as her special dish last night anyway. Following on from oven chips, the team then mentioned taking beans with mini sausages, tomato ketchup and fish fingers. Dave said if they were gonna take them though they’d need to have one of them cold freezer type bags as otherwise they would defrost...fascinating stuff I’m sure you’ll agree. Next on the menu (ber dum cha) was chat about Tim Henman’s victory over Juan Ignacio Chela at the French Open in Paris yesterday, meaning he’s now through to the semis against Guillermo Coria on Friday. There was a clip of Jonathan Overend’s Five Live commentary on Henman’s win in Juliette’s sports news. Chris thought it sounded stupid and said that if you had a name like Jonathan Overend then there was no way you’d keep it, as it sounds like some kind of Daily Sport character (not the last you’ve heard of The Daily Sport in today’s review btw).
Jules - Henmania...woo!
(pause)
Chris - What?
(Dave & Jules laugh)

Chris said that he’ll rewrite the lyrics to Peter Andre’s Insania for Juliette’s Henmania parody. Sounds good in theory anyway. I’ve mentioned this before but I’ve got an inkling that Jules will be reporting on Wimbledon this year (either for BBC TV or Five Live) so will therefore be leaving the show for a couple of weeks. This may be wrong but I’ve just got a hunch from something that Chris said last Thursday.

8 year old Jake Brown from Cambridge has now completed his sticker book so put all his 300+ swapsies in an envelope and sent it into the show for the team to use in their sticker books. They were all very grateful and even tried to get him on the air, but he was out with his dad (he had heard them talking about him though). There was some dispute in the studio about who should get Jake’s stickers. Rachel thought she should get them all as producer of the show and Chris thought he should get them all as presenter of the show. Dave wasn’t comfortable with anyone getting them though and said that the distribution of them needed to be “carefully regulated”. In the end one smart texter came up with the answer - every time a sticker is taken, one prize must be given to Jake in return. E.g 2 stickers for 2 CD albums. I’m not sure if Chris’ll stick to that rule and if 8 year olds really want music as a prize anyway, but everyone was agreed on it. By the end of the show Chris had completed the Swedish, German, Bulgarian and Danish squads - and needed just Scholes, Rooney and half of a squad shot to complete the England section too. That may be quite an achievement and I know it’s funny sometimes, but I’m bored of the sticker book chat now. No more please Chris.

WHERE’S ALED: DAY 10>>>>
ImageImage
(Aled and today’s winner Chas Duncombe)
PASSWORD - “England 1 Japan 1”
LOCATION - By the canal next to the NIA in Birmingham
CLUES - In an English city 218 miles away from yesterday’s location (Edinburgh). The steam engine was invented here, this city used to be known as the workshop of the world and at 80 square miles is one of the biggest in Europe.
WINNER THROUGH TO THE AIRPORT FINAL - 29 year old Chas Duncombe from Birmingham, who was on his bike. He guessed Aled’s location from the clues given and the quacking going on in the background.
ImageImage
Chris asked Aled what type of bird was quacking in the background:
Aled - I’m not great with birds but I’m told it’s a duck
(Chris & Dave laugh) Chris - Well, never has a truer word been spoken

Chris told Aled to introduce himself to the ducks. He did so live on the air and Chris said he was such a pillock.

SCISSOR SISTERS VS THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE, FAITHLESS & BUZZ OFF:>>>
Chris had a go at Dave when he revealed that he hasn’t bought an album yet this year, despite the fact that it’s now June. He did say that his wife Emma bought the Scissor Sisters album in the duty free the other week though, which he thought was really good. Chris thinks that the intro to their current single Laura sounds like the theme tune to Thomas The Tank Engine. To prove this theory, Greyhead Will asked board member diffusionuk (aka Sheldon) to mix the two together. Chris played it out on the air. There was a bit of a key clash but you could see where Chris was coming from. Dom did his genius Ringo Starr impression again. Another remix Chris played today was the Dab Hands Remix of Satellite Of Love by Lou Reed. First played on the show back in February, it’s finally being released on July 19th. When Chris was originally sent it, it was seven minutes long. Will tried to do a Breakfast Show edit of it but failed after over a week of trying. Exec Producer Joe Graham did it eventually. Dave’s best mates Faithless were in the Live Lounge with yo yo knickers Whiley yesterday, see yesterday’s review for more. Chris and Maxi met briefly on the corridor and Chris got him to record a few messages for Dave, calling him Danny. This is in response to the fact that Dave thinks their his mates, despite having never met them before (again see yesterday’s review for more). Miserable Dave wasn’t amused by the messages and said it was all an elaborate facade.
(Chris plays Maxi clip)
Dave - guh huh. Do you have any more pre written comedy for me?
(Rachel laughs)

- Listen to Faithless in The Live Lounge with Jo here
Buzz Off this morning was U2’s number 3 hit from October 98 - Sweetest Thing...although it nearly wasn’t. Instead of opting for Chris’s choice from his CD compilation, the team risked guessing a random number. They almost picked The Mavericks and Space & Cerys Matthews, but instead chose Brimful Of Asha by Cornershop. They weren’t happy.
Dave - Can’t we change our mind? This is rubbish
They all buzzed in quickly and reverted back to Chris’s original choice of U2. It didn’t generate a great text response but was played in full to the end. Dave and Rach were the only ones to buzz in - on 2:20 and 2:48 respectively.

CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
PAUL a Coca Cola rep in Castlewellan Northern Ireland 2
PAT a lorry driver from Dunstable 1

**Chris had always imagined that “Good Morning Carpark Fans” would be a catchphrase sweeping the nation by now, but it’s not really taken off to be honest...until now that is. Diane Taylor, promotions manager for Bridge Print Solutions has printed some t-shirts saying “Good Morning Carpark Fans” on the front and “Carpark Catchphrase Radio 1” on the back. She’d even made sure to send in an XL version of the shirt for Chris to wear. He modelled it during today’s game at 9:45**

Daves Tedious Link*
Shaggy Oh Carolina - Oh Carolina topped the charts in February 1993, the same month that Lenny Kravitz had a big hit with Are You Gonna Go My Way - “Are You Gonna Go My Way?” is a question frequently asked by hitchhikers - Hitchhikers can often be found at motorway service stations, as can fruit machines and refreshment facilities - Refreshment facilities are important for people who drive long distances because tiredness kills and you should take a break - “Take A Break” is also the title of a womans magazine full of gossip and tit bits - Bits rhymes with kits, which is what the mothers of sporty children have to wash - Washing is traditionally hung on a line - Line dancing is popular with fans of cowboy boots - Cowboy boots should ideally have spurs - Spurs is the new home of goalkeeper Paul Robinson - and Paul Robinson was born in 1979 in Beverley, making him not only an accomplished goalkeeper but a “north country boy” - Which links us to The Charlatans and North Country Boy

Image
*I know that Dave completely ripped off one of Jo Whiley’s old features (I think it was called Connect) for the whole Tedious Link idea, but it’s now being copied by Vic McGlynn on 6 Music too. She does the afternoon show (1-4pm) and asks listeners to compile links from track to track each day. I can’t remember the name of the feature but I think it may be Making Tracks.

CHRIS, DAVE AND JO MAKE THE DAILY SPORT FRONT PAGE:
ImageImage
Yep, tis true. Moyles, Vitty and Whiley made the front page of today’s Sport, but Chris and Dave didn’t mention why cos they wanted Jo to tell the story.
Dave - We don’t want to blow it for her
Chris - Well...

In her first link Jo read the story for the first time, which told how chubby Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles wanted to get blond, married, mother of three Jo Whiley into bed for a luuurve sandwich with him and his comedy sidekick Dave Vitty. Jo said she has always thought of Chris and Dave as two THICK slices of bread after all.
