This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK. Hello, I'm Robin Ince. And I'm Brian Cox. And we would like to tell you about the new series of The Infinite Monkey Cage. We're going to have a planet off. Jupiter! Jupiter!

versus Saturn! It was very well done, that, because in the script it does say wrestling voice. After all of that, it's going to kind of chill out a bit and talk about ice. And also in this series we're discussing history of music, recording with Brian Eno, and looking at nature's shapes. So, listen wherever you get your podcasts.

BBC Radio 1 Radio 1's All Day Breakfast with Greg James. Hello and welcome to Radio 1's All Day Breakfast podcast with me, Greg James.

Today was a really extraordinary morning. It's a morning that I am still processing and I want you to just sit back and enjoy the journey that we all went on from 7 o'clock this morning to 10.30, which involved things that I'd never experienced on the radio before. Here come the highlights of the morning of day four of Jamie Lang's Ultra Marathon Man Challenge for Comic Relief.

Starting with the very first bit of the show. Radio One Breakfast with Greg James. Stay bold, beautiful, bald and sexy. Yeah. Yeah.

And keep listening to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. That's what you need to do. Welcome to Thursday. This is Greg James. Hope you're all good. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. Big day ahead. Another big day. All the days this week are big for Jamie Lang. Three ultramarathons down. Almost £300,000 raised for Comic Relief. He's doing it. He is doing it. I said it this time yesterday. If you can do three...

And you surely, mentally, you go, can I just squeeze two more? It's going to take a big, big push today. Huge push from him, from me, from you, from all the rest of the Radio 1 lot. So let's get into it. And welcome to The Breakfast Show. I'm going to play Raving in the Studio by H&BOO! Ah!

in just a bit. Ed Sheeran, Castle on the Hill. We'll play Anne-Marie and Shania Twain. We'll have yesterday's quiz. We'll get you up to date with all the latest things. We'll chat to Matt Edmondson. We'll chat to Jamie Lang in just a bit as well. 7.40 we're going to get Jamie on. This time yesterday, we got you to send really nice voice notes because he needed it. He really, really needed to hear you

How about today we actually get you to speak to him? Because that's powerful. The power of conversation. We've talked all this week about looking after your brain, sharing your problems...

And why don't we just connect you directly to him just before he sets off on his run. So if you want to chat to him, 03700100100, send me a WhatsApp and we can connect you just after 7.40 this morning. Maybe you've got a joke. Maybe you've got something that will just cheer him up. Or maybe a mad fact that will blow his mind. Send it my way. We can connect you to him at 7.40 and get him going for day four of Radio 1's Ultra Marathon Man for Comic Relief.

So there you go. It's going to be a fun show. I can feel it in my bones. And then we connected you to Jamie. Emotional day yesterday. Tough day for everyone. Big team effort got him over the line. But there's one man at the centre of this having to do the actual miles. Putting one foot in front of the other, which we keep saying to him, and he's still going. Good morning, Jamie Lang.

Morning, guys. Morning, Greg. How are you? If it sounds a bit echoey, I'm just standing in an echoey room. I'm standing in a cave hiding away from everyone. Well, no, I know exactly what you're doing because you've been forced to do some exercise before you do some exercise.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've woken up this morning and my ankle is really swollen. My leg is pretty swollen and yeah, I'm just, my body is sort of broken and so we're just trying to ease, warm up before we just start running another ultramarathon.

But man, I can't tell you, just even listening to that this morning, because yesterday feels like a bit of a blur. Like at the end of the day, I sort of was, didn't really know what was going on. I didn't really know where I was. And then to hear that all back, it just is just incredible. And this again makes me emotional in so many ways. It's insane. It's a pretty, look, we talked about this on Monday, but the adventure was always going to be like this. It was going to unfold and you just have to go with it. But is it surprising you with how...

it can be sometimes, how devastatingly low you get. What's been surprising for you so far? Greg, I can't... You've done this before, so you understand. I can't tell you the different emotions that you feel. One minute you'll be running and you'll be feeling...

the lowest of the low that you can't even put one more foot forward and all your body is saying stop, your brain is saying stop and then suddenly you have moments of complete euphoria where I'm just sort of looking at the sky and I think, oh my God, and you have these complete highs and then you almost have moments of irritation and you're just like, oh God, this is so... Why am I doing this? Why am I doing this? And then you have moments of sadness and you feel sad and then you have... It's just...

It's a roller coaster of emotions at every single point. You're sort of living life in a day, really. You're going through all the emotions of life, but in one 24-hour period, it feels like. It's a lot of emotions, and it's so overwhelming, I cannot even begin to explain. You know, running into Loughborough University last night, there were so many people there, and as I was running in, Matt just was on the radio, and he looked at me, and he said, just

just take this moment in. And as I ran, everyone was there, and then Sophie, my wife, was there, which was a surprise, and it was just incredible. It's amazing. That video was really magical, actually, because the street was lined with supporters and cheerleaders and everything leading up to the Radio 1 truck. And...

I saw real joy on your face and I saw real relief and elation and also surprised that you're doing this. You're surprising yourself that you're managing to do this, Jamie. Do you realise that you've just done three ultramarathons, a thing that you never thought you'd ever do? I know, but the problem is we've got two more to go. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that. It's fine. Oh, Greg, I got it. The thought of putting one foot in front of the other today is...

I honestly, I will do anything. I will do anything not to do that today, but I've just got to get it done. Well, there was something pretty special happening yesterday and we felt it. We felt the momentum. And we also really appreciated you being honest yesterday because...

Yes, there's an element always when you're doing a radio show of there being a little bit of showbiz. You've got to be like, hey guys, everything's fine and everything's going to be great. But yesterday, for the first time really, a lot of us, millions of listeners heard the real you when you were just saying, I don't know how I can do this. And the listeners responded in kindness. This is what we're talking about all week, isn't it? If you say something that is your deep sort of, your deep true feelings, you say it out loud, people will match that and they'll support you and they'll,

come back to you with some words of wisdom or just some support or a hug or whatever it is, or in this case, a donation, and you can solve this thing together. And that's what we've seen. Because yesterday, at this time, the total was 101,000. Now, by last night, it was 270,000.

Wow. Crazy. And in about... It's just crazy. It's crazy. In about five minutes time, Jamie, I'm going to give you an update on that total. But before we get there, I've got a load of amazing Radio 1 listeners who have just put their hands up and gone, yes, I'd like to say hi to Jamie because we said, look, we did voice notes yesterday, but how about we connect you to the people that are listening all week, the people that are donating. I don't think I can handle that, Greg, this morning. I just don't. It's too much. But it's too late. It's too late.

Because Emily's standing by. Emily, you're on with Jamie Lang. Hi, Jamie. How are you? Oh, Emily, I'm not going to lie. I'm not that okay, but I'm going to be okay. I'm going to be okay, and we're going to get through this. Thank you. A little something from me. You are doing absolutely incredible, and you're so inspiring. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, because you have totally got this. You've totally got it. Thank you so much. Honestly, Emily...

How about a little joke to put a smile on your face? Would love that. Anything. Why did the frog run to work? Why? Because his car got towed. Car got towed. Great. It's great. So this is what we wanted to do. We wanted to get some people... Emily, thank you. We wanted to get some people on with some jokes. We're just going to rattle through these jokes. Sunil, give Jamie a joke. Go! Hey, Jamie. It's Sunil. What happened to the two thieves who stole the calendar?

What happened to the two thieves who stole the calendar? They both got six months each. It's good, Sunil. It's good. Becca, come on. Give us a bad dad joke.

Good morning, Jamie. I just want to say this is absolutely incredible. I'm beyond proud of you as a Radio 1 listener. I think you're absolutely amazing. I know that you like mind-blowing facts, so I have a mind-blowing fact for you. Oh, it's a fact, not a joke. Go for it. Okay, I like this. So you know that humans can be allergic to dogs, but did you know that dogs can also be allergic to humans? Oh, wow.

That is the most upsetting fact I've ever heard. Do you mean he can be allergic to humans? This is not what you've made him sad, Becca. Oh, no. This wasn't my intention. It was meant to be good. No, it is good. Did you find that out personally, Becca? I feel like this might be a deep trauma that you have.

No, so it's not my deep trauma. I just thought this morning I'd get in like a mind-blowing fact because, you know, him and Matt have been doing stuff when they've done like mind-blowing facts before and I just Googled stuff and that was one of the first things that came up and I thought it would be very interesting. No, it's a good one. It's really good. It's a good one. It's a good one. It's a sad one, but it's a good one. And Ellie, good morning, Ellie.

Morning, Jamie. Morning, Greg. Morning. Before I go to the joke, I just want to say that I'm personally giving money for every mile that you run, not on the expectation that you run five ultramarathons. So the more you run, the more I give. Wow. Oh, wow. Ellie, that's an amazing thing. Ellie, that is amazing. That is amazing. That's incredible. Thank you so much for that. And a joke, because a joke's good. What do you call a man in a pile of leaves?

I don't know, what do you call a man in a pile of leaves? Russell. Okay, that's my favourite one. That was my favourite as well, I like that one. Ellie, you're a hero. Thanks for donating for every mile. What a great commitment. Thank you for being on, Ellie. Thank you, Becca. Thank you, Sunil. And thank you, Emily. And we've got one more. Adam, are you there?

I am here, mate. Adam, I nearly forgot about you. I'm sorry. Go for it. Don't worry, mate. Don't worry. You're busy, guys. Morning, Greg. Morning, Jamie. Just keep going, Jamie. You're absolutely smashing it. We're all very, very proud of you. Here's one for you. Thanks, buddy. What side of a chicken has more feathers? What side of a chicken has more feathers? The outside.

Very good, yeah. It's true. It's true. Keep going, buddy. Thanks, buddy. And he's off. There you go. That's Adam in Sheffield. He's gone. And you know what? He's not wrong, is he? He's not wrong. He's not wrong. So he's off again and he's feeling really, really beaten up by this whole thing. It's very, very, very difficult.

To break the sadness, a little goblin turned up just after 8 o'clock in the form of Matt Edmondson. A little goblin who was just scheming. Jamie Lange is ultra marathon man. And it's going very, very well. Well, I mean, the donations are going really, really well. We're up to 331,000. What was the final bit?

Oh, it's been deleted. What was it? What was it, Amy? 331... 331,647. 647. Amazing. That is amazing. So it's going well on that side of things. It's not going so well on the other side of things in terms of Jamie's actual legs. It's really, really difficult. Matt Edmondson, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Good morning.

Tough day yesterday. The worst. Yeah, really tough, where he was quite literally on the floor. And that's the thing, isn't it? The momentum is strong. There's no question that the listeners are totally behind this. There's a real movement, like the videos are going mad online, the donations are going mad at Comic Relief. So that is all absolutely incredible.

The problem is that we just need to keep him focused, keep him distracted and also keep him motivated because his body is in agony.

Yeah, his body is the worst it's been, obviously. He woke up this morning and it's like trying to move a mannequin. He's completely stiffened up everywhere. It felt really cruel this morning because they got him to the gym of the hotel and they put him on a cross trainer.

So he's done like a workout before then doing this. And they were like, it's going to loosen up your joints and all the rest of it. But, you know, it's going to take, it would take like, he's like the tin man. It's going to take, you have to dip him into a bucket of WD-40 to loosen him up. He's in such a bad way. But mentally this morning, I think the sort of the power of like,

friendship and love yesterday really came through. His bestie Proudlock turned up and it was just a beautiful, beautiful thing. And obviously his wife Sophie was there at the finish line as well. And I think it's changed something in his brain where he's like, oh, maybe, maybe I can do this. Whereas up until yesterday, it was very much, I cannot do this. Well,

Well, with that in mind, then, we need to do some stuff to keep him smiling, keeping distracted. Oh, I've got it covered, mate. Don't you worry about that. You know, because obviously yesterday, I was in Loughborough, loads of people coming up, photos of Jamie saying congrats. And then once they were done with him, I had a fair few people come up and console me. They would come up and say, oh, Matt, I heard about the scooter. Are you OK? Yeah.

but they all did it with a bit of a twinkle in their eye. Like, they were asking the question, but deep down, they were quite happy about what you'd done. And so I've been stewing the past couple of days in this... There's not much to do in this van when I'm not talking to someone on the radio. And I've been thinking, how do I get my revenge? Now, I've got limited resources out here, okay? It's basically just me in a van, and I've got my phone. I've been thinking, what can I do in the time frame? And I've...

I've got some ideas and I thought why not involve more people because what I learnt from the Halloween thing is that punishing you is one thing but where you really feel it is when you're in some way responsible for other people people that you like and so I'd like to say good morning hopefully to Nat O'Leary and Dean McCulloch oh good morning hang on

Are you there? Dean and Nat, hello. Hello from Salford. Good morning to you in Salford, Dean and Nat. What the hell's going on there? Hello, you two. Hello, you two. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this, but don't blame me. Blame Greg, OK? All roads lead back to him. So they're in Salford. Obviously, that's where Jamie's heading to. He's heading to Manchester. Now, I thought, what can we do here?

And the question is, what do you always see at a marathon? Like one of the big ones, London Marathon, Boston Marathon, New York Marathon. What do you always see there? Signs. Deep heat. Runners. Lots of runners, lots of supporters, lots of flags. Guys, you always see someone dressed in a ridiculous outfit.

You see someone who's decided to do the marathon dressed as a fridge or as a sumo wrestler or something like that. Yeah, we talked about the guy that overtook me as a pair of balls the other day. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was for testicular cancer. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Now, sadly, I've not been able to acquire that costume. Right, yeah, yeah. But I...

But I have opened up my costume drawer slash some online orders and I've ordered you guys all some costumes. What?

And you're going to do some running with Jamie. In fact, only one of you will do some running alongside Jamie on Friday in the costume of my choosing. And it's down to the Radio 1 listeners, really, who is going to do the running, OK? So we're currently at a total of £331,647. Can I get a woo? Woo!

Thank you very much. I want to make that more, though, obviously. Obviously. What time is it? It's 18 minutes past eight. So if by 9.30 today, just over an hour, we raise £375,000, then Nato Leary, tomorrow, you will be running alongside Jamie.

Now, the outfit that I've got you, I was thinking noughties. Oh, no. I've gone for like, do you know what a shell suit is? No. I lived in those as a kid. Of course you did. It's the most synthetic fibre known to man. It's basically like a sweat box that you're going to be in. It's almost like a matching two-piece set that is shiny and static and...

And it's not going to be pleasant to run in, but also you're going to look absolutely ridiculous. I don't know whether I can do this, Matt. It's not given the co-word that I'm normally here for, I'll be honest. Well, it's not down to you. It's down to the listeners. But you might get off scot-free, okay? Okay. Because if that total goes over £400,000, then it'll be Dean running.

And Dean, I would like you to be dressed as the world's famous illusionist, Harry Houdini.

Good. Not this. Very good. Very good. I was trying to leave that in the past, Matt. No, you can't leave that in the jungle. Houdini, that's an I'm a Celebrity brilliant callback. Amazing work, Matt Edmondson. That's great. Maybe quit at 400,000. That's pretty good. This has to happen by 9.30 this morning. That's when we're going to take the total. Now,

Greg. Yes. Greg, Greg, Greg. Do you remember earlier this week, a very touching moment, you proposed to Jamie? I did, yes. I did. If the amazing Radio 1 listeners raise £450,000 or more by 9.30, you will be running alongside Jamie tomorrow.

When you're up in Salford and you'll be dressed in a full wedding dress. Oh, come on. It has a veil. It has a garter. Oh, good. And this is part of the deal. Jamie will remove that garter with his teeth. Why is that part of the deal? It just is. You're sick. It's really upping up the drama. I...

Honestly, I think you might get to see a photo later on of this dress. It is sensational. So I want to get your thoughts, Greg, on that. Yeah, well, look, I was going to do a run anyway with Jamie. So that was the plan. This is a moment to think about that. Look, I want to raise loads of money, obviously, but I just don't think I want...

I don't think I want that photo to follow me around forever. Is this going to be on BBC One? Well, the thing is, we said earlier that all these videos are going mad on TikTok. All of Jamie's... And it's just going to be... Everyone's going to be like, who's that? Why is that man in a wedding... Why is that happening? So the confusion is sort of...

The video that's going to go viral is him taking a gash off with his teeth. Let's be honest. Yeah, that would be good. That's the one that's going to happen. That's going to be like a weird dream. I mean, I really don't want that bit to happen. That feels way too intimate. Oh, look. Yeah.

You're the people's pin-up, Greg. People absolutely adore you. And many people have dreamed of getting married to you, okay? And so now, just think of this. We get to see you in full wedding dress, bridal white, beautiful, lovely,

And those photos will exist forever. Forever. And the internet's there so we can just download them. Yeah. I might start printing them on T-shirts. I don't know that we're going to get 450. I think that is a huge amount of money. That's a huge leap. That's over 100 grand from where we are now.

It's a lot. But you know what? Today's the day that we pull out all the stops. Today is the day, okay? So I'm going to go over that again, right? So a little recap. If we raise the money, it's happening. It will happen. So if it's between £375,000 and £400,000, Nat, you're going to be doing the Shell Suit run. If it's between £400,000 and £450,000, then Dean, you're going to be doing Houdini run. And if it's £450,000 or over, it is...

all about greg in that frock and it is it's a frumpy frock okay how dare you excuse me you you know me i went cheap cheap cheap on the wedding dress all right this has to happen by 9 30 a.m and greg will run in a wedding this is our only opportunity guys to ever see this to ever see this when was the last time we saw

Greg in a silly outfit. It's been years. It's been years. Too long. It's been too long. All right. Well, if you raise 450, I'll do anything. That's an amazing amount of money. I'm actually shocked, Matt, that you've suggested 450. But look, if the listeners...

are up for that, I'm also up for it. I mean, I'd rather not be in that dress, but if we can get to 450, that is sensational money. So look, phones out, please. Let's donate. What do you want? What do you want to see? Do you want to see that? Is that a treat for you, you sickos? Is that what you want? Yeah, it is what we want. 10, 20 or 30. Text the word 10, 20 or 30 to 70011. You can donate more

or a little less you can donate any amount bbc.co.uk forward slash Jamie do that on your phone very very quickly Jake's in Lincoln and says I've just sent £50 to you oh Jake fantastic brilliant and hoping to see you Greg in a wedding dress Ben in Southampton has said I've just donated £50 as well to do this and that in portion of £20 think of it as a wedding gift okay that's how we just think of it

For Greg and Jamie, all right? This is your way of setting them off. Dan in Saltaire, 50 quid thrown in to see you do the garter gobble. Oh, yes. Oh, I love the branding. I love the branding. It's a garter gobble from here on out. Gobble Greg's garter. Yes. Horrid. Horrible people. Horrible listeners. I've changed my mind. You're all horrible. Okay, so...

We want this to happen, right? Listen to Radio 1. I love you. You know that. I know that you love Greg. That's why you're listening to his show. But he deserves this. He deserves this for taking my scooter and running it over. But also, also, Jamie's put in the most amazing shift, right? It will make him laugh so much to see Greg in a wedding dress. And I'm telling you now, Jamie will revel in...

getting on his knees and biting a garter off Greg's leg. Can we please, someone please give the details again of how people can donate. I mean, I can do it if you want, Greg. I've got to say, this is serious. It's a serious amount of money. I'm putting the serious music on. Oh, that's serious. This is a huge, huge mountain to climb for us in terms of the donations.

Over 100 grand in an hour is mad. We can do it. Can the Radio 1 listeners deliver?

I'll do another donation now. We're saying this all the time. Every time I'm saying it, I'm doing a donation as well. So Nat, Dean, Matt, let's do another one. We're doing it now. Can I just say, sorry, this is one of those situations where you might think other people are going to do it and you can sit back and you can listen. You'll get the joy and maybe you'll do your donation later. You do it now. This is the time to do it. So 7-00-11. That's

That's the number. You put in the words 5, 10 or 20 and you send that off. You feel amazing and you know that tomorrow you get to see, hopefully, Greg in a wedding dress. I've just done it. In the time you were talking, I've just donated 20 quid. Brilliant. To see Greg in a dress. Nice one, Dean. Cheers. But also, you could be donating to your own downfall. No, it's for Greg. You don't know what to get up to. No.

If we get 450, then we get me in a wedding dress running next to Jamie Lang. If that's what you want, then that's what you're going to get. You can actually text the word 51020 or 30 to 70011 or give any amount to...

at bbc.co.uk forward slash Jamie. This is a big, big push. It's a big risk this, Matt. You're risking this. And let's see what happens. I don't know. Obviously, I'll do it if the money comes in. But if it doesn't come in, then we won't be doing it. It's got to happen.

We'll catch up with you in a bit. Dean, Nat, thank you. Thank you. Pray for all of us. Thanks, guys. We'll speak in a bit, Matt. And then the next hour of our lives were really quite mad. I've been part of some stupid things courtesy of this amazing radio station over the years. This is definitely right up there. I'm actually most surprised at your reaction to it. If you've just switched on, Matt Edmondson has planned some revenge.

Because I crushed his scooter earlier this week, all in the name of charity, to make Jamie Lang laugh and to raise loads of money, which he did both of those things, he said revenge will be sweet. And he's had a couple of days to prepare it, and he's delivered his idea today. So if by 9.30 today, the total goes up to seven... Seven? Seven would be insane. Seven? I'll run naked. If it's three... If it goes up to 3.75...

by 9.30pm, then Nat O'Leary will run alongside Jamie dressed in a full-on shell suit tomorrow. If we raise 400 grand by 9.30pm, Dean McCulloch will run alongside Jamie dressed as his I'm a Celebrity alter ego Harry Houdini because he kept disappearing when work was to be done. So he'll be Houdini tomorrow. Or if we raise 450, 450,000 by 9.30pm, which is 50 minutes away,

I'll run alongside Jamie Lang tomorrow during one of his ultramarathons in a full wedding dress with a veil and a garter that Jamie Lang will then remove with his teeth from my upper thigh. It's way too intimate, man. It's that intimate.

I like a joke. I like wacky stuff, but that is... That might be a step too far. £20 going in for the garter gobble, Greg. I just think my actual wife will hate that.

She was like, what are you doing? I can't call it actually. Will she be in support? I'll ask her. I'll see what she's saying about this. I've already donated, but as soon as I heard the Greg in a wedding dress, I thought I'd donate another tenner. Come on, everyone. Let's get this happening for a superb cause. It is a superb cause. That's the thing. Look, I'm willing to do it. If you're unhinged enough to want this, to see this, I'll do it. I'll commit.

To donate £10, £20 or £30, text the word 10, 20 or 30 to 70011. bbc.co.uk forward slash Jamie where you can donate online. All the terms are on there as well. You can do that so quickly and easily on your phone as well. It's just a couple of clicks and the money will be heading towards Comic Relief and towards that amazing total to support this incredible challenge so far.

More voice notes then. Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. I've said £10. Sicko. James. I really want to see you rip that garter off of your teeth.

Come on, Jamie. Come on. Oli. Greg James running in a wedding dress is literally all I want to see in life. Donating now. Well, look, you will see it. I mean, it will appear on all the TikToks and all the Instagram videos and all the documentary footage and everything. And also the crowds as well, because there'll be big crowds by Friday. Yeah, wow. I've just donated another tenner. Get that dress on, Greg.

Thanks, Jill. That's a little voice note from Jill there. All right, well, look, this is very much out of my hands. This could turn into a bit of a beast, this. The number is 70011. Text the word 10, 20 or 30 to 70011. I really can't call this. It's a huge total. Getting to 375 is big. 4 is big. 450. Is that doable? Can you do it by 9.30?

For God's sake. Can I just explain? So I press all the buttons for this show, obviously, make all the sounds that you hear come from me. I've just pressed play on what is labelled as Lisa, Ray and Doja Cat with Born Again. And it's just, is Matt Edmondson there? Yeah, hi. Hi.

Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. You are so annoying. Yeah, I'm here, I'm here. I just, listen, I thought I'd get everyone in the mood, in the spirit. I might have gone in and tinkered with the playlist this morning. You just crack on as normal. I just think it will help people if they can sort of visualise it. Because it's a... Because in my imagination, I'm struggling to see the exact thing, which I think is why this needs to happen. Right, yeah. You know, is it... Are you going to have to cock your leg?

up a bit. You're going to have to place it on something. Like, what's the setting? He'll be really creaky, so he won't be able to bend down. He'll be creaky, yeah. You're going to have to get on a ladder.

It's... And also, like, he's a short guy, you're a tall guy. That garter is probably about eye level for him. So he's going to be, you know, he's going to be able to get to it and gobble it pretty quick. Have you changed every song to the wedding march? Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Let's just... Oh, imagine it there. Yep. Yep.

Greg's just walking. He's actually running in a wedding dress. We're going to have to get some people behind you because it's quite a long train on the dress. Oh, God. For God's sake. And then at some point, at some point, everything will stop.

And this private moment will happen between the two of you, although it will be broadcast. And we will see Jamie with his pearly whites just gobble that garter. Can we stop saying gobble that garter? And those photos will be on the internet quicker than you can say gobble that garter. I know you too well. Someone's just texting saying, Greg, you'll look like the runaway bride. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's running too. He's running too, Jamie. I don't want to stand in the way of love. I don't want to stand in the way of love. And so we need to make sure that this does happen. And I love, by the way, I love that people can now text 30 quid. And I think that is how we're going to do this, right? Because we've got about 40 minutes to get to that crazy target of £450,000. But I know we can do it. If you can spare...

£10, £20 or £30, you need to send that text, okay? If you haven't done it already, this is your only opportunity. And just like with the scooter the other day, if we don't get there, it won't happen. And we'll never get... Like, when else will this occur, okay? The People's Pinup and Jamie Lang getting married in a lovely run and then the garter gobble. Come on! It's everything we need. Are Nat and Dean still around in Salford? Are our Salford gang still there? Yeah.

I just wanted to check in on you two. And I wondered... Sorry, I was just having a cookie. I was just wondering how you're feeling about this because you're probably looking at the messages and seeing which way this is going. Yeah, I've just donated another 50 quid. I need to see you in that dress. Well, I'm just wondering sort of... Because you two could technically... I'm at a real inconvenience here, like a real disadvantage because you two could just join forces and be like, don't...

don't do our one just go full on million percent I really think if we all come together now myself Dean you the listeners we can really get Greg in that dress I want to see him get his gobble gartered gobbled what sorry that

That took a laugh. This is the problem, isn't it, with this? Look, someone's just texted in saying, I've just donated 20 quid to the garter gobble. They're calling it that now. They just added saying, can we get a jingle for it that just says Radio 1's garter gobble? I'll make one. I will make one. I've got time in the car this morning. I'll make that. That's no worries at all. The ultra garble garter. What is it? A gobble-a-thon? I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm just going to try and play another song now. Have you doctored this one as well?

Yes, you have. Yeah, lovely. Let it run. Let it run. I'll tell people how they can donate, OK? So, 10...

20 or 30 pounds. So text the word 10, 20 or 30. The number to text that to is 70011. Now, the full terms are at bbc.co.uk slash Jamie. If you would like to give an even bigger wedding gift, if you're rich, now is the time to really step up. I'm saying this now. If you've come into a bit of money recently...

You know, if you've got some Bitcoin sat on a hard drive, it's time to cash out, baby. OK? BBC.co.uk slash Jamie. I'm looking for rich people now to step forward, OK? And I'm looking for you to donate big. You can do anything from a pound, but you won't because you're rich, up to, well, it's unlimited. Come on, show us what you've got. You can donate online and it's dead simple. Do it with Apple Pay. So you just go on and then, ding, look at your little face there, ding, ding.

And then you're done. All right. And you won't even notice it gone from your bank account if you're rich. But what you will notice is Greg James in the wedding dress. Yeah. Okay. Please, please donate now. I'm surprised. I'm very willing to do it because it will raise... I'm still unsure whether we'll get to 450. But if that happens, then amazing. $10,000.

20 or 30. The word 10, 20 or 30 to 70011. Full terms at bbc.co.uk slash Jamie. Let's go for this. I'm going to try and play Tom Grennan. Hang on. Yeah. Fantastic. You've ruined that one as well. Are there any songs that aren't a wedding march? Let's try Joe. Is this one a... No. No.

I went pretty far down the schedule, I'm not going to lie. I am dead. Right, have we got Lisa for real now? Okay, that feels like that might be it. This is a booby trap halfway through, but anyway. Dean and Nat, sorry, we will chat to you in a second and Matt will chat to you. There's too many names. We've got Lisa, we've got Ray, we've got Dean, we've got Matt, we've got everyone. Jamie, I am stressed. The people I work with are unwell.

This has just been put into my computer in front of me here. With church bells. Who's made that? Who made that? Sam. Sam. What's wrong with you?

He's got a family and kids. The man who made that has got kids. Gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble

That's just more of the same. But in the tune of the bells. I mean, it's sort of beautiful. Hats off for the production values. We're doing a wedding disco. Will we get to 450,000 by 9.30? If we do, that will not only be an amazing amount of money,

And a great, a great kick up the backside for Jamie Lang when he needs it the most to get him through day four. I will also run with him tomorrow dressed in full wedding dress. Matt Edmondson, hi. Hello. I'm just holding some headphone cables out of the way so that Jamie Lang can be sick. Oh. Oh, God. Which he's doing by the side of the road. Oh, no. Are you okay? Is there anything we can get you, Jamie? No.

He's just going to get on the floor. Okay. We are in the middle of nowhere. Fields either side. Traffic, some traffic going by. Jamie's literally on his hands and knees on the side of the road. Sort of palms in the gravel. I think these are nettles, dude, so just be careful of those. It's a monstrous morning out there, Jamie. It is.

I didn't think it'd get any worse, guys. It's worse than yesterday. Oh, Jamie. It's much worse than yesterday. We were obviously kind of keeping track with Jamie and driving alongside him. We've been stepping out of the car at every available opportunity to kind of cheer him on and give him support. The last few days, he's been able to kind of like throw a smile our way and...

Something's different today. He just... He can't... He hasn't got the energy even to, like, give a nod or a wave. It's... It's unbelievable. And... But you know what? You're... One of the guys that's been running this leg with you just said his body is in so much pain, but his pace is absolutely incredible and he's going to do it. Are you going to do it? I really hope so. I really hope so. We...

We had a moment where I just had to scream as we went through a tunnel and just get everything out. And there was a poor lady walking her dog just outside the tunnel, which I didn't see. So I had to apologise to her as we went out. Okay. Would it help Jamie to get a total update? Yeah.

God, that would really help. That would really be helpful to us. So when we last spoke to you this morning, it was just the most incredible amount of money that had been raised. £331,647. And obviously, while you've been out there just really hammering it,

We've been trying to have a bit of fun and we've been trying to get it so that tomorrow either Nat O'Leary, Dean McCulloch or Greg James will run alongside you for part of this in a ridiculous costume. So Nat and Dean, are you guys there? Hello. Hi, good morning. Good morning, man. So there's a risk...

We said, Jamie, if we were able to get that total, which was at 331,000 to 375, then Nat would run in a big shell suit. That's so much money. We said, if we get to 400, Dean would run with you dressed as Houdini. And we went kind of like, almost an impossible target, 450. If...

If we got to 450, which is like more than £100,000, it would be £120,000 added on, that Greg would run in the wedding dress. And I know you were asked to record a voice note saying, gobble, gobble, gobble, Greg. And it was... I mean, it sounded... You sounded so broken whilst saying it. But you're going to get to gobble his garter if he hit that total. So...

Nat O'Leary. Hello. I can tell you that you can stand your running shoes down. Wow. Oh. Oh, my gosh. Because we're not in the 300s anymore. Wow. You're joking, Matt. You're joking. Wow. You're joking. Wow. Now, it has been close. People have been donating like...

like crazy this morning and I mean just thank you thank you thank you if you've given anything today um Dean McCulloch yes Houdini we said anywhere between 400 and 450,000 pounds Dean would be running alongside you Jamie Dean I'm afraid you're also gonna have to step backwards yes you're joking no you're joking are you kidding me

Are you kidding me? Because, Dean, we're not in that 400 to 450 range today. Wow. Which means that Greg, we are going to have to confront you in a wedding dress. Wow. But here's the thing, right? We're not even in the 400. No! Jamie, you've raised...

Over half a million pounds. 510,665 pounds. What? That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's amazing. Thank you so much, everyone. That's unbelievable. That's crazy. Oh, my God. Take it in, man. Half a million pounds.

Greg, get your wedding dress on and look pretty. With pleasure. With pleasure, my friend. I hope that has spurred you on for the rest of today and tomorrow because, Jamie, that is truly, truly sensational. Listen to the people behind you beeping. They're listening as they're beeping because they've just realised, like everyone else listening, that this is taking on a life of its own now. Over half a million, Jamie, it's working. You're doing it.

That is amazing. Thank you so much, everyone. Thank you. I know I keep saying the word amazing, but it's all I've got because I don't really know what else to say. What I would say is the power of this donation and this total is it's transformative, not just in terms of the people that it's going to

impact. We've heard their stories all week and we'll continue to hear about the amazing work that Comber Relief does. But it's transformative to my friend Jamie here, who when he arrived literally in this link was on his hands and knees a broken man. And you are standing tall, you are standing proud, your shoulders are upright,

You've got a massive smile on your face and I know that you're ready to go. It's like the energy's just materialized from the Radio 1 listeners and it's gone straight to you. I really have to tell you, and again, I just want to be as authentic as and real as possible. Oh, I feel a bit faint. The...

I honestly, at every single point, I think I'm going to give up. As I came in, I was like, I don't think I can do this anymore. And something like this happens. Something like this where I get an update, people have donated, and suddenly you get some endorphins, some energy, something in your muscles and it just goes, come on, you can do this. It's like life is doing this on purpose and it just wants you to get to that point. And then this happens. Thank you from the bottom of my very sore legs. Thank you so much.

Amazing. It's amazing. You're doing a very, very, very cool thing. And it's a unique experience for you, for the listeners as well. It's a pleasure to be part of it. And I also want to give a shout out to Dan in Saltaire, who at 8.24 this morning threw in 50 quid. And he said he was the first one to say, I want to see that garter gobbled. Yeah.

And then from that whole thing, he started a movement of garter gobblers who just wanted it to happen. And Dan, you and millions of others have made that happen. And that total is sitting at £510,665. Jamie, you've done half a million and you're only just in day four. That is...

I can't wait to see you tomorrow anyway. I was looking forward to coming up and seeing you and giving you a hug and helping you over the last few bits, but also...

I'm going to be in that dress next to you. Yeah, that's exciting. I can't wait for you to wear it. That's going to be great. And then we can gobble the garter together. And if you lather it in some sort of energy as well. Don't you worry. So this might be inappropriate now, but I think I'm going to play your wedding song, if that's all right. I'm going to play a song that you were listening to all day yesterday. So are you okay? Are you emotionally stable enough to hear Ed Sheeran perfect?

I don't think so, not at the moment. No, but Jamie, let me tell you this. You are perfect to me. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. So it happened. And that will be happening tomorrow. Unbelievable that that amount of money was raised. And I'm so up for wearing that wedding dress because of half a million pounds. Are you joking? Should have raised the stakes. And on we go. Let's hear where some of the money to comic relief goes. So...

We've talked about the wedding dress, but now I'd love you to just lock in and have a listen to this story piece, because we're about to hear the story of a single mum who found herself alone in a very difficult living situation. So during her second pregnancy, she desperately needed support. She discovered a project funded by Comic Relief, funded by the money that is raised and given to Comic Relief that you might have just done today. The project is called Sister Circle.

And they provided her with a maternity mate who was by her side when she needed it the most. Now, the project helps women experiencing some of life's toughest challenges, including homelessness and domestic abuse. And this I'd love you to listen to is Fatima's story.

Hi, I'm Fatima and I'm a single mom. I have two kids. Sister Circle helped me a lot in my second time pregnancy period. I am alone in this country and I have no relatives and I have a financial problem. Before I met my maternity mate Elizabeth and that time I was depressed. After I met her, I am so blessed.

I'm Elizabeth and Fatima is the first mum I've supported. It was an absolute privilege to be able to be with Fatima at the birth of her second baby. To hear that first little cry of the baby and even have the privilege of cutting the cord, well, I was very, very blessed that day. Fatima had had some very difficult experiences and had been very alone and lonely

suffered a great deal in those difficult circumstances. Fatima's always been so brave and she's certainly very resilient and a wonderful mum. If people fund more and more to Sister Circle, Sister Circle will help the other victimised women or single mum who really need help.

And

And finally, let's do a brilliant quiz because we were live in Matlock today and Demi was waiting there and she is going to be also waiting for Jamie Lang later when he hobbles in. Demi, good morning. Morning. How's Matlock? What's going on today?

Yeah, it's good. It's funny. It's funny? It's nice. Yeah. Oh, sorry, sunny. I thought you said it's funny. It's funny. Sunny, lovely Matlock. We've talked about Matlock before. Have you been to the farm park? Of course, yeah. Yeah. Have you met that big duck called Quacksal? No.

No, I went to try and find it, but I couldn't find it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Quacksil, this was when we were searching for the next tallest duck after Longboy died. We found a guy who was... Yeah, I went after that, and I couldn't find it. Did you? That's good. Well, thanks for going to have a little look. But, yeah, Quacksil was... I love all animals, but I like that one the least, I think. Why? Well, he was just a bit...

I don't know, he just had a vibe. He just had a bad aura. Quaddy cocky. He was just a, I don't know what it was. There was just, you know when you meet someone, you're just a bit like, there's something off here. There was something off about that duck. Maybe trying to live up to long boy. That's what it was, maybe. Maybe I was just, I was still grieving long boy and I wasn't ready for a new duck in my heart. Maybe that was it. So tell me about you in Matlock, Demi. What do you do for a living and stuff?

I work from home and I've got a boring job, really. I just work in finance. That's OK. I'm looking for a girl in finance. Well, we found a girl in finance and it's you. Six five, blue eyes. So you've got... The fun thing, though, about working from home is that you can hang out with your dog. Tell us about your dog. I know, yes. I've got a dog, a miniature Dachshund called Dolly. She is just, like...

A baby. She is a baby. She sleeps with me. She follows me wherever I go. She's shaking now looking at me because she doesn't know what's going on. Well, Dolly, your mum will be back with you in a minute, but she's got a case to do. So we've got 90 seconds on the clock. Are you going to be waiting for Jamie Lang patiently in Matlock later today? Yes, I will. It's been an amazing week. You've been following it, I guess.

Yeah, I know. I don't know how he's doing it. I just don't know how he's doing it. He's done amazing. Three done, two more ultramarathons to go. Finishing in Matlock later today, all being well. Let's get the quiz going. 90 seconds on the clock. Do we have some dingers? There we go. All right then, Demi. 15 is your score to beat. Here we go with question number one. Which singer of Houdini, and don't start now, shared pictures from her Radical Optimism tour in Australia? Yes, which Radio 1 presenter completed his third ultramarathon for Comic Relief yesterday?

Jamie Lang. Yes, Doja Cat teased her upcoming collaboration with Jack Harlow. Finish the name of her song, though. Paint the town... Red. Red is correct. Manchester City played Chelsea in the Women's Champions League, but who won? Manchester City. They did. We had Jessie, the owner of a thousand goats on The Breakfast Show yesterday, naming one of the goats after Jamie Lang. Please bleat like a goat called Jamie. Jamie.

Oh, all right. It actually said his own name. Two points for that. It was Bruce Willis's birthday. But which movie did he star in? Was it Die Hard or Die Firm? Die Hard. Die Hard is correct. It was announced that which singer of Juice and About Damn Time will be a musical guest on Saturday Night Live next month?

I don't know. It's Lizzo. India. India played the Maldives in a friendly cricket match, but can you name any cricketer? Any cricketer? Joe Roo. Yeah, Joe Roo, a great one. Two points for saying Joe Roo as well. Two astronauts who had been stranded in the International Space Station finally returned to Earth, but where is the International Space Station? In space. It's in space, yeah. Billie Eilish posted a picture from her tour, but what's the name of her brother who she makes music with?

Joe. No, is it Joe Root? No, it's not Joe Root. It's Phineas. And Ed Sheeran posted a clip of a new song he's releasing called Azizam. Name any other Ed Sheeran song. Castle on a Hill. Yeah, good. Just played it, didn't we? We'll give you one more, actually. It was announced that Edinburgh will stage the start of the Tour de France in 2027. But what sport is that in?

Cycling. It is, yes, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. Well played, Demi. Good work today. Amazing bleating. I'm sure we'll get that clipped up in a second. That was so scary. I don't know anything. I don't think that's true. I mean, that's definitely not true. You do know things and you were great and it was fun. I did not know what I was signing myself up for because I should have just come on rungans because I was like...

who runs wedges usually. Well, we appreciate you taking a leap of faith. That's what this week's all about. Taking a leap of faith, taking yourself out of your comfort zone and doing something stupid. 12 points today. It's good. It's good. It's not going to get you in the final, but it is good. Demi, thanks for being on this morning. Send my best to your dog. Get back to Dolly and we'll catch up with you soon. Have a nice day. Thanks for having me. And I hope you find Jamie later.

Yes, I will. There you go. That's the end of the Breakfast Show podcast today. No further questions, Your Honour. Thanks for listening. We'll be back tomorrow live from Salford in the glorious northwest of England. So join us then live for the final morning and then the final big push on Jamie's Ultramarathon Man Challenge. And you can also catch up on all the best bits on here. So see ya.

Hello, I'm Robin Ince. And I'm Brian Cox. And we would like to tell you about the new series of The Infinite Monkey Cage. We're going to have a planet off. Jupiter versus Saturn! It's very well done that, because in the script it does say wrestling voice. After all of that, it's going to kind of chill out a bit and talk about ice. And also in this series, we're discussing history of music, recording with Brian Eno, and looking at nature's shapes. So, listen wherever you get your podcasts.
