Chris was running badly late this morning and feeling very tired. Dave was the same, but both were still in the building before six and ready to go with the show at five to seven. Chris said that in the tradition of great Radio 1 Breakfast Show hosts he should still have been in the car on his way in, with just a jingle and a record for starters to indicate he was actually there when he wasn’t. Dave said how times have changed. Universally Speaking by the Red Hot Chili Peppers was the tune out of the first segway of the morning. Chris said that it sounded fresh and good, whereas he is getting sick of other over played RHCP tracks such as Can’t Stop and (to a lesser extent) By The Way. The Chilis are coming to the UK in June with Radio 1 (full details are here), although Dave is no longer able to go and see them play at Hyde Park...because he will be presenting his own radio show. Chris said he hadn’t mentioned this on the show before cos he’s the star but now the topic had arose they might as well discuss it further. Dave will be presenting a Saturday lunchtime sports show on Radio 1 with Chappers from the end of May/early June (it hasn’t actually been given an official starting date for transmission yet). The show will cover the Olympics and Euro 2004 and will remain in the schedule till August when JK and Joel join from Key 103 in Manchester (they have just four weeks of breakfast shows left at Key 103 BTW). Dave’s name will come second after Chappers in the listings, as they think “Chappers and Dave” scans better than “Dave and Chappers”. In terms of success Dave said that he was simply a cornershop to Chappers' hypermarket. Chris said that Dave should be the Vic Reeves or the Eric Morecambe, not the Bob Mortimer or Ernie Wise. Rachel told Dave to put his foot down. As soon as there is a confirmed starting date for Dave’s new show I will let you know. Chris brought two Buzz Off tunes in from home today as the team were catching the train up to Liverpool straight after the show. Chris explained how he had more or less finished up using CD’s from one room in his house, but said he still had plenty more left in other rooms...
Chris - I’ve got CD’s in the front room, in the back room and in the bedroom. In fact I’ve got CD’s in pretty much every room
Aled - Toilet?
Chris - Pardon?
Aled - Toilet?
Chris - No I’m fine thanks. I’ll let you know when I need to go. You don’t need to hold my hand or anything though...well in fact you don’t need to hold anything at all
(Dave laughs)

Let’s hope tomorrows choice by Chris is much better than today’s. It was the 1995 number 2 hit Stayin' Alive by N-Trance featuring Ricardo Da Force...rock a loo la. Rache buzzed in first on 9 seconds, Aled under pressure from her (he called her evil) was next on 2:26 and Dave was third on 2:36. There was no listener buzz however so the song played to the end at 3:58. Rachel had a go at Chris (she’d wanted him to take it off it earlier) and accused him of fixing the text vote. He sounded really pissed off and said that she clearly had no musical taste. He said that that record was a piece of musical genius up there with Led Zep and The Beatles and said Zane Lowe and Steve Lamacq had both texted in to agree with him. Rachel said Jo Whiley had texted in to say it was rubbish...
Chris (pretending to read text) - Jo Whiley is talking out of her arse...love Mary Anne Hobbs

RACHEL’S KIDDY QUIZ:>>>>>
To celebrate the opening of the new Marks & Spencer store on Weaver's Wharf in Kidderminster, Producer Rachel had been sent a selection of goodies from their low fat “Count On Us” range in a big pink box. Also included inside was a sealed envelope addressed to Comedy Dave, containing questions to a Kiddy quiz especially written for Rachel. Rache (who was looking lovely in pink today and had washed her hair) had to prove her knowledge of her home town in return for her Marks & Sparks treats. Prizes up for grabs included some multi-fruit and flake cereal (less than 2% fat), salt and vinegar fries (less than 3% fat), chocolate mousse (also less than 3% fat and according to Rache very nice), a strawberry and raspberry smoothie and a selection of fresh fruit (perfect for her breakfast). Chris put on the Millionaire music as quizmaster Dave began with the questions. Rachel won the crisps and chocolate mousse by correctly identifying both the address of her old school and the county that Kiddy is situated in (Worcestershire). She didn’t fare quite so well though on Dave’s “Advanced Level 2” of questions. Dave asked her how many carpet looms there were in Kiddy in 1807. He gave her multiple choice but she still got it wrong, meaning that Chris chucked her fruit selection in the bin. Aled sounded devastated but Dave said it was very much a “win it or bin it” situation. That’s not strictly true though as Rache was given her stuff back and was stuffing her face with the free food just before Tedious Link. Chris said the amount of stuff that she had eaten by 9am was shocking. She’d had four pieces of low fat toast, a low fat yoghurt, a fruit salad and a packet of salt and vinegar crisps. Rachel said that she had been up since 4 o’clock. Chris said he wasn’t surprised as you need to get up that early if you’re going to eat all that food. Chris did an impression of Rachel that Dom said sounded like a brummie Gollum.

CHIX WIN TIX:
This has now been confirmed as a permanent feature on the show, although this week it was moved forward a day to accommodate the trip to Liverpool tomorrow. Dave described the competition as “girl on girl action”. Surely the immortal Saturday show line “You must be a proper fan....but not a man” should be brought back. The tickets up for grabs this week were ones for Everton versus Middlesbrough at Goodison Park on Saturday (Dave is going and he predicted a 2-1 win for the blues). The two pieces of top toffee totty battling it out on the phones were Laura and Claire...both diehard supporters. Claire lives in London and hasn’t been to Goodison since she was 7 years old as her grandparents don’t live there anymore. Laura on the other hand had never been to a football match in her life, but is marrying an Evertonian in August and wanted to earn a few brownie points. Chris got Dave to recall the time when Emma went to her first Everton match with him. He said she moaned that it was cold, didn’t notice the teams switched ends at half time and asked who the fella in the black was. Both callers sounded nice but it was Claire who won the tickets. She correctly identified Middlesbrough as the answer to Juliette’s testing question of “Who are Everton playing on Saturday?”. Claire seemed really pleased and said she’d take her dad (who lives in Southampton) to the match with her.
Chris (after both callers had gone) - Note to Aled:- try and get people on who live within at least one hundred miles of the ground
(Dave laughs)

The new 100 Sexiest Women In The World list has been published in the new edition of FHM out today. The top five in ascending order are Britney, Rachel Stevens, Beyonce, Carmen Electra and Holly Valance. Chris wrote down a fact about Rachel Stevens and showed it to the team (he wouldn’t read it out on the air). Chris has of course met Rachel a few times and said she is a lovely girl. He is mates with her ex Jeremy Edwards however, so said he would always have to side with him...
Dom - Ahh so you’re torn in that one then aren’t you?
Chris - Yeah...but she is really fit
Dom (laughing) - Well clearly not that torn

The highest new entry in the list was Michelle Ryan from EastEnders at 21. There was another new entry as well at number 441 - Chris Moyles. Chris said he was very proud to have made it inside the top 500 sexiest women in the world and thanked everybody for voting for him. Dave said Chris wasn’t in the same FHM though - he said he’s in the Fat Heavy Men edition. After the news at 8 the team had a game of “FHM Guess Whoooo?”. Chris showed the team pics and covered up the names, asking them to guess who the girls were. No-one knew who the very hot Elisha Cuthbert from 24 was (she’s at number 10 and plays a porn star in her new film), Dom couldn’t identify Sarah Michelle Gellar (rather unfortunate seen as he was meant to interview her the other week) and another celeb that the team also had trouble identifying was Kirsty Gallacher. Number 69 was also a tricky one as Dave and Rachel thought it was either Claudia Winkleman from Liquid News or Jennifer Aniston. Dom and Jules didn’t think it was Jennifer at all and were very shocked when Chris told them that it was. Chris said it was the worst photo he’s ever seen of her in his life. Having now bought it I understand what he's saying, although I've no idea how Dave and Rache thought it looked like Claudia. Best five pics in that list for me are Keira Knightley (no.79), Brittany Murphy (66), Kirsten Dunst...ahhh (49), Kayleigh Pearson (28) and Louise Redknapp (17).
Chris (talking about the pic of Jennifer Aniston) - Look at that! Look at that! Get FHM and look at that, number 69....(laughs)..which is just the number that she is
Dave - Entirely coincidental
(Jules and Dom laugh)
Chris - Moving on, it’s 9 minutes past 8
(plays jingle)


MOYLES ON MERSEYSIDE:
The big show from Radio Merseyside is tomorrow morning and later this afternoon Dom is going busking in Liverpool City Centre. Chris said he wasn’t allowed to say where he would be but told people to look out for the bald fella playing the same songs over and over again on his guitar. Chris and Dave are accompanying Dom but Aled is his official security guard. Dom therefore wondered what could possibly go wrong. Chris asked Dom to play some more stuff for the team on his guitar this morning. Dom said he could play either random country and western or Satellite Of Love by Lou Reed. Given that choice then it’s no surprise Chris went for option 2. Dom was again quite impressive on the guitar and his singing voice was fairly good, although less funny than Dave’s pathetic whining of “Satellite” on BV’s. Chris asked if Dom had anything more upbeat and target in his repertoire, e.g The Tweenies, Atomic Kitten or Peter Andre. The answer was no to all three and Dom also said he couldn’t play Stairway To Heaven, Wonderwall or even as a last resort any tacky Beatles. Despite being set in Chester, Hollyoaks is filmed mainly in Liverpool and when half time came around (let’s get ready to ramble) Chris and Dave set about deciding which “Holly dollies” they are think are fit and which they don’t (by checking out online pics). Rachel was dubious about the idea at first but Dave said half time was the perfect time to do this as it allowed them to cut loose and be “not as tight and formulaic as we have been so far”. Rachel and Chris are big Hollyoaks fans and both watch it in bed on Sunday morning (although not together obviously). Dave said on Sunday morning he usually watches Jimmy Hill and Goals On Sunday. Chris thinks Abby Davies (Helen Noble), Becca (Ali Bastian), Ellie (Sarah Baxendale) and Lisa Hunter (Gemma Atkinson) are the fittest girls in Hollyoaks. He also said he likes Jodi Albert (Debbie Dean), Elize Du-Toit (Izzy) and Sarah Dunn (Mandy Richardson), who are all much nicer in my opinion. Rachel thinks Jake (Kevin Sacre) is the nicest out of all the blokes. Dave told a rather long and bizarre story about how he once had a pee next to Jack Osborne from Hollyoaks (Jimmy McKenna) and Mick Johnson from Brookside (Louis Emerick). Chris did a funny off the cuff Hollyoaks sketch just before the last tune from Snow Patrol, in which his scouse accent slowly turned to Geordie. Dave said Chris could be a body double for the fat bird in Hollyoaks with ginger hair. Chris told Dave to leave her alone.
THE CHRIS MOYLES APPROVED WORKPLACE SCHEME:>>>>>
(For more on this see yesterday’s review or here)
CALLER 1:>>>ZOE FROM SWIFT
Caller 1 today was 29 year old Zoe (who’s kind of single) from Garston. She works at Swift Dispatch in the city centre in Sales and Admin.
Chris - So do you listen to us at work?
Zoe - Oh we do yeah. We can’t get enough of it
Chris - Well I have heard that about you Zoe
(Zoe and Dave laugh)

CALLER 2:>>>SHARON AT CAINS
25 year old Sharon (originally from Wavertree) is the national account manager at Cains brewery in Liverpool. She said all 115 employees and their families were listening today. Her phone was rubbish and Chris said he’d heard bacon crackle quieter. Sharon said she really hoped Aled would come and present them with the trophy tomorrow as it’s official beer tasting day. Chris said she could have possibly won the award for Cains with her line “We’re Liverpool in a pint”, but she’ll have to wait to tomorrow to find out.

RADIO 1’S SPOT THE DIFFERENCE:>>> Day 4 and hallelujah - the gag has finally changed. People were ringing up doing a Mark and Lard style preemptive about the EastEnders clip featuring Sonia, although it actually contained more differences than just the usual drill, owl and a dog. Dave counted nine in total but Robin from Kidderminster had a much longer list. He heard an owl, a dog, a ghostrain, a clap of thunder, a cannon, a tractor, a doorbell, a helicopter, a hoover, a drill, some eggs frying and some milk bottles clanging together (that’s 12 in total). Dave didn’t believe him about the eggs frying. Robin said he was desperate to win a prize but unfortunately Chris lost the line at that point (I don’t know how that happened - technical problems maybe...hmm). Today is Day 4 of Radio 1’s One Music Week and Chris played a track called On My Own by Somniare, aka Denroy Thomas a vocalist and producer from Chippenham in Wiltshire. The response to the track wasn’t fantastic but you can listen to it here nevertheless (note:- you’ll need a Real One Player). You can download the track on mp3 here. For more unsigned playlist details visit Radio 1 Online. Don’t forget all five acts on this weeks unsigned playlist will be profiled on Jo Whiley’s show next week with a session at Maida Vale and permanent place on the playlist up for grabs for the winner.

Daves Tedious Link
TLC Waterfalls - Waterfalls provide a very real hazard for amateur canoeists - Canoeists wear helmets, as do motorcycle cops - Motorcycle cops don’t get anymore famous than Ponch and John from Chips - Chips the food are traditionally served with salt and vinegar - Vinegar is made from old wine - Wine is made from crushed grapes - The most famous catchphrase involving the words “crush” and “grape” is “Oooh I could crush a grape” by Stu Francis - Stu Francis shares the same surname as Trevor Francis, who used to play for and manage Birmingham City - Birmingham City play their home matches at St Andrews - St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland - Scotland is a country who’s climate is suitable for the growing of carrots - and carrots enable you to see in the dark and prevent your night vision from being a bit of a Blur - In fact, there’s no other way (other than thermal imaging camera technology) that allows you to see in the dark and not see a blur - Which links us (after a bit of a rubbish ending) to Blur and There's No Other Way

MOYLES IN LIVERPOOL - Tomorrow on Radio 1 between 6:55 and 10am.
