Old producer Rhys was up in Manchester today visiting ex Shirehorses band mates Mark and Lard. Mark and Lard over-ran by a couple of minutes and Chris seemed to think the two were connected as he began with ‘I see Rhys has been doing his back timing again’. Chris said Aled has some big news. He was informed by Megan that Aled now has a pet, a puppy. Chris said he really was getting desperate now in his search for friends. Aled’s back from his holiday on Monday. Chris said he cooked his own tea last night - chicken pie and chips. He went through how long he put them in the oven for and the temperatures as well. Chris said he’s getting better at cooking and thinks that he needs to learn how to cook, ‘what with me nearly coming up to 24 now’.
In contrast to Chris’s chicken pie and chips, Dave cooked his tea of chicken goujons with black pepper, lemon, cous-cous and a pasta salad. The link turned into different shopping stories again with Chris saying that because he had only had boring biscuits and chocolate at home when he was young, he likes to treat himself to ‘a treat bucket’ when he goes shopping. He said when he was young in his house there was only only rich tea and (if his mum was on a diet) Ryvita, when all he wanted was a bloody kit-kat. He bought a huge box of mini-chocolates last night including aero, mars, dairy milk buttons etc. He also bought a variety cereal mini-pack as he couldn’t have them when he was young. He said he hates coco pops but loves ricycles. Dave was the other way round.
Dave said he now buys lots of ribena as he couldn’t have it when he was young as it was too dark and would stain the carpet.
Chris said yesterday he also bought 2 slimmer soups (to add to the stacks of them in his cupboards) and some carrots and other vegetables. Dave asked why as he doesn’t eat them. Chris said ‘I know but they make your trolley look better’. Dave also brought back an old story of how Chris bought some frozen kebabs from the supermarket to put in his microwave. Dave thinks it's stupid. Chris said he had to try them and offered to pop into the BBC canteen and get some microwaved for him.
Dave declined the offer as he said it’d put him off his tea. Chris only had time to play 45 seconds of the new Blazin squad single as he had to go to the news. It was more than enough anyway. Chris wasn’t happy with the production on some of the ‘coming up next’ pre-news clips today. Aled normally makes them and while he’s away someone else Chris doesn’t know upstairs at Radio 1 is making them.
George had it in the news that 1Xtra’s listening figures were confirmed at a weekly average of 313,000 in the latest audience figures released today. That’s the best of the BBC’s 4 digital stations. Chris thinks it must have something to do with him bigging up Rampage on the 1Xtra breakfast show. Chris said he’s also gutted that Rampage don’t start until 9am whereas next year Chris has to be up around 5 am and in work to start at 7. (By the way Radio 1’s average weekly figure was 12 million. Chris has lost 700,000 listeners this year though - see the home page for more).
Next Friday the show will be live from a secret beach front venue in Brighton (Chris said just look out for the big Radio 1 truck) for One Live In Brighton. Shock horror Fatboy Slim is going to be on the show. Who would’ve seen that coming. Next week Chris is giving away tickets to go down to Brighton and see the show in a new feature (Daves idea) called Chris Moyles Bikini Beach. To stand a chance of winning you need to register via e-mail.
Chris played the Stereophonics and said he’s thinking about setting up a new band for Stuart Cable to drum for now he’s left the phonics. Dave asked what the band will be called and Chris said ‘the band that Stuart drums for’. Dave said it was borderline genius.
Chris played The Darkness and said they are the only Radio 1 show they’ve not been on yet. Rachel said Edith Bowman has worn Justin’s cat suit, but the other way round as there is a big dip in it obviously. It sounded like she said big dick in it. Chris did an impression of Rachel saying ‘I want some dip with my nachos’.
Most of today’s show was however devoted to the 78 days of Christmas. The final contestant for the big lights switch-on was home of Producer Rachel Jones herself, Kidderminster. There was an article in the local Kidderminster paper about it today. It included quotes from Rachel who did work experience at the paper in question (Kidderminster Shuttle and Times) when she was about 14. Sue Harper from the council was on. She was very very weird. Despite being 37, she tried to entice Chris to visit by saying there will be women in black and red leather awaiting him, girls on the job and she said summat about rolling around on the floor. She also said there would be beer and crumpets. They made a song in the council office that you couldn’t understand a word of, only hear a phone ringing in the background. Chris said it was probably Simon Cowell. Chris nicknamed the woman as Miss Whiplash at the end and played in comedy whiplash sound effects. He said he was rooting for Kidderminster to win the vote beforehand because of how proud Rachel would feel, but he said stuff her now as there was no way he was going to Kiddy with that woman there. We now get to choose where the team turns on the Xmas lights - either Swansea, Inverness or Kiddy. Text VOTE SWANSEA/INVERNESS/KIDDER to 81199. The results will be in tomorrow's show. Chris said he quite fancies going to Inverness to wear a kilt. Dave said up there he’d get a chilly willy. George from Newsbeat said she’d come up and wear a tiny tartan black leather mini-skirt if the show came from Inverness. (Or that’s what Chris translated it to - she said she’d just go up to read the news originally).

Sat and today are up
