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!

Vader 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 One's All Day Breakfast with Greg James. Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Radio One All Day Breakfast podcast. This is Greg James and the breakfast show is live Monday to Friday, 7 till 10.30 on Radio One and you can catch up on all the best bits on this podcast feed. It includes all the big games that we do, all the stupid things with the listeners and all the big guests. And today we had a brilliant big guest, one of our favourite people in the celebrity world. It's Joe!

Hey, I'm back. Thanks for having me. We've been so looking forward to having you back. Thanks for having me back. I didn't, I guess it means I did okay the first time. You did more than okay. In fact, you left a sort of a trail of joy and everyone was like, God, he's a nice guy. That's nice. Basically, the number one review was, we just want to go to the pub with you. Great. That was basically it. We were like, what a nice guy. Sounds good. It's a good activity. I would love to do that. We are basically a month away from your album. Your new album. Yeah.

We're in March already. It's scary. Time is slipping by. Feeling good about it? Yeah, I'm feeling good about it. I mean, I can't, you know, I can't complain. There's a lot of cool things that I am getting to do and spend a lot of time with friends. And yeah, I'm kind of having a whirlwind time and trying to just be in the moment, enjoy myself, soak it up.

We love Basic Being Basic. Oh, thank you. It was my tune of the week a few weeks ago. Oh, thanks. And I just love that song. I want you to talk to me about it. Sure, it's like... Are you railing against being basic? Are you celebrating being basic or both? Listen, it's not like a big cultural commentary, really. I want it to be. You know, it's just like a song about things that are going on in my own life and kind of like a dare to myself to be as basic as possible and to sort of indulge the...

you know, mundane in your life and to sort of not try to be anything other than what you are. You should really just do what you want to do. And then when people kind of fully embrace that, that's when they really are cool. I love that sentiment as well because actually the beauty in life sometimes is in the mundane. And that's the stuff that you kind of have memories about. And those simple things are...

you know, I'm like learning how to appreciate something in the moment without like kind of zooming out too much and kind of putting myself outside the moment. Just like soaking it in. That's really nice. Not everything has to be exceptional the whole time. No. That's it. No, it doesn't. So the global tour. This is good. You missed it worldwide now. Global. I'm like Pitbull. Basically Pitbull. Basically Pitbull. I just kind of shaved my head.

He's got bald caps, right? So everyone wears a bald cap. He has bald caps that people wear to his shows. Have you not seen? No. This is a sensation. When we had him on the show, I said, you need to sell those on the merch stand. Yeah. What's on the Joe merch stand? Man, if I was smart, I would have sold those wigs, man. That would have been a great idea. It's not too late. It's not too late. What if you just sell bits of the hair?

It's like when they sell off bits of football fields and stuff. Exactly. When they sell off bits of Wembley. Yeah. Okay, guys, hope you enjoyed the show. Don't forget to buy your locks of hair at the merch stand. So the show in London that you're doing, you're doing a few nights at the Kentish Town Forum, which is my local venue. Really? It's near my actual house. Amazing. You and the band, let's go and get dinner beforehand. Let's go to the pub. Pub. The Bullen Gate next door is really nice. Let's go. Do you like ramen? I love ramen. Great. Come on. Is ramen a good thing before a gig? Not a lot.

A bit liquidy. I feel like if I had a tonkatsu right before I went on stage, that would be a horrible idea. I'd have to wear the correct pants. Nothing too tight. You know, you wouldn't want to. Okay, maybe a couple of gyoza. Yeah, sure. Gyoza and some edamame beads. Even that might be pushing it. Edamame, I could do. Edamame, I could do.

Let's talk about the differences between doing a promo tour for a film or a TV show. Sure, yeah. Compared to a tour like Life on the Road. Because I'm imagining promo tour can get exhausting and kind of ugh. Whereas if you're on the road with a band, it'll be much more fun. I mean, the way that we've kind of designed this is that it's just basically all of my buddies...

you know, are in the band. So I don't know. I've got like a newfound appreciation for after doing laneway and seeing all the other artists there. Um, we were talking about Olivia Dean. She's amazing. Got to watch her show. Remy Wolf, Claro, Beba Doobie, Barry can't swim. Charlie, we, I was,

Just watching all these different artists. And, like, nobody does it the same way. And, you know, how do you kind of, like, maintain... I don't know. I'm used to having a social connection with one or two people when you're having a conversation. But having a connection with, you know, a couple thousand people, that's a totally different skill set. So, yeah, it's been an interesting learning curve and just, like, cool to see, finally, after all this time, that people...

know these songs and people are like singing these songs with me so it's cool to be a part of let's talk about some of your favorite artists at the minute so who are you listening to so Olivia Dean you said I'm listening to a lot of LCD Sound System oh should we play some LCD Sound System please someone great play that song should we play it oh I love that I think you just heard a sigh over there from producer Tom I got a sigh I think Tom's just fallen in love with you oh yeah let's play it what a song

LCD Sound System on the Radio and Breakfast Show. The choice of Joe this morning, who's my special guest, and we're talking all about music that he's into. We're going to do Unpopular Opinion with you. Now, this has a theme tune. You're very welcome to sing it. We've written the lyrics down there for you. I have the lyrics. Okay, here we go. Okay, I'll do my best. I'm just going to read your lips as you do it. Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up till now that you've been scared to say. Pretty good. I just was kind of, you know, trying to read it. That's good.

Chrissy! Most people who want a pet dog should have a cat instead. Ooh! No, I don't know about that. No, you're a dog guy. I'm a dog guy. Yeah, me too. But, you know, I have nothing against cats at all, but, man, I mean, come on, you can't... You're not supposed to say this, but I...

I think I have got a problem with cats. You've got, yeah. A little bit. How dare you? Yeah, no, this is why people get really cross about it. I just don't... I've said this before, Chrissie. I don't think they're that into you or us. They're just not bothered. You know, the problem there, Greg, is you. You're just doing cats wrong.

I've never met a cat who hasn't been loving, cuddly, just a chill little guy who just pure vibes lives in my house. Chrissy, I got to say, you know, one of my earliest experience with cats was getting a big scratch and it's never been the same for me and cats. I feel like they can tell that I'm scared and they can tell that I'm worried. They know you're a dog guy. They know I'm a dog guy. They think I'm an enemy, I think.

I love dogs. My biggest problem with dogs is they're just a chore. You've got to walk them, you've got to bath them, chew things up. Cat

Cats don't do that, I promise you. But they don't go to the bathroom inside. That's the big difference maker for me, I think. Hopefully not, yeah. Well, you know. Yeah. Not intentionally. I could maybe bring my dog to the Kentish Town show. We can, you know, hook him up to the kick drum and he can drag it on stage for us. That's Barney. Oh, that's a cute dog. That's a great picture. Yeah. Big, lovely, chunky lab. Ah.

Chrissy, we love you. Thank you for that. And have a good rest of your day. I will. Thank you very much. Bye. Sorry I was mean about cats. Let's move on. But it is unpopular opinion. Yeah, it is. Here we go again. Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up till now that you've been scared to say. Good.

Okay, I'm getting better. So from Chrissy in Devon to James in Cannock. James! Being bald with a long beard is better than long hair with no beard. Being bald with a long beard is better than being... Okay. Yeah, it's like an upside-down head man. Yeah, so I'm pretty much upside-down to Joe. Oh, right, I see how it goes. So J to Joe think, right, okay, you've got lovely long hair, but you've got a bit of stubble, I'd say, today. You've got a little something going on. It's very...

I can't quite really grow a beard, but I do imagine it's empowering. I imagine you do have some power. This is it, Joe. The opportunity. You could shave your hair and stick it onto your chin. Or wear a pit bull cap.

Or a pitbull. I give myself a day trial. Okay, so I just got to go to the pitbull show. Pitbull show. James, how long is your beard? A good nine inches. Nine inches? Nine! Yeah, yeah. The wife's very happy with it. Are you doing the thing where you take a step back?

and you can just really luxuriate in stroking it. Like it's an actual cat's tail. Literally a cat's tail, yeah. I mean, my cat Ollie purrs. He loves it. He just nestles right under it. Wow. What do you do for a living, James? I'm a sales executive for a brewery. I'd buy beer off you. I'm sure. I can imagine you drinking a pint of beer and it's spilling down your beard. Oh, absolutely. But that's the best thing. You can just do my moustache, a supplater or a beard. It's all there. It's all the goodness. So you're moustached as well? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Full face. Well, that would be quite odd if he had a nine-inch beard with no moustache. That would be quite the situation. It'd also look quite strange with a nine-inch beard and no moustache. I guess it would. I don't know. That would be different. James, before you go, I've just got some pitbull wisdom to share with you. Don't shave against the green. Shave with the green. That way you don't get no bumps on your head. And keep it bald, beautiful, bald and sexy. You took the words right out of his mouth.

Stay bold, beautiful, bald, and sexy. This is amazing. Do you have this on like a... It's the pit wall. This is so good. If anyone needs it, they just text in VoxVox, and then we can just take them to the pit wall immediately. So whatever you need, you know. So you could just be like, and you know, like I always say... Off the chain, off the glass, off the flip, off the rip, off the everything. That's me.

James, thank you so much. Thank you. Nice to speak to you all. Have a good day. Have a good one. Bye, James. Bye, Joe. We're doing Unpopular Opinion with Joe, and let's go again. Oh, no. Let's go again. To the flip, to the rip, to... Yeah, let me see if it... Hang on a minute a sec. Off the chain, off the glass, off the flip, off the rip, off the everything. Unpopular Opinion with Liam now. I don't want to watch the shows that everyone's telling me I need to watch.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It gets annoying, doesn't it? I completely agree. You are on to something. Yeah, the low point was when my grandmother told me I needed to watch Squid Game.

No, Grandma. Yeah, she just loves watching people get shot in the head. Apparently so. There's just so many shows and everyone's watching it for a week and then suddenly no one's ever talking about it ever again. Yeah, it's the problem with content these days, isn't it? Yeah. It's true. There's a lot. It's hard to keep up. Do you know the one for me at the minute? Because I know I'd love it. Severance. Oh, see, now this is... I've been sucked into that cult of freaks. I know I will be. You're going to like it. But...

But at my own pace. Yeah, you know what someone's saying? Hey, have you seen Severin? No. Yeah. But I became that. I'm always that person. I mean, it's basically my job to be that person. Hey, have you seen this? What about this? Have you heard this? But the one for me that I started annoying everyone to the point of tedium was Succession. Yeah. I was like, oh my God, I've seen Succession. Can you shut up, please? Yeah.

The one that I feel like always hit me was Ted Lasso. Never watched it, but no offense. Sorry to my parents. Sorry to people in my family or sorry to my friends. Everyone was saying, you're going to love this. You're going to love it. You've got to watch it. You've got to watch it. And I just was like, stop telling me to do it. I will do it just whenever I'm ready to do it. Liam, thanks so much. Have a good day. Cheers on you. Joe, we're out of time.

You've got to go and be an international sensation elsewhere. Nah. Nah. I thought you were doing an impression of Pitbull then. Nah. Dah-lay.

Before you go, have you got an unpopular opinion for us? Man, unpopular opinion. I was trying to rack my brain with an unpopular opinion. Not a big breakfast eater. I don't really eat breakfast too much. Telling the wrong guy. Really? Big breakfast guy. It's not necessarily the cuisine itself, but yeah, it's nowhere near as good as a... It's just the time. Well, let me say this. For six and a bit years, I haven't had a relaxed breakfast. Yeah, I was going to say... We're shoveling. We're all shoveling in every day. Busy at that time, I would say.

Joe, it's been so nice to catch up again. Yeah, likewise. Good luck with the album in a month's time. It's called The Crux and we love Basic Being Basic. In fact, we should play that now. We've played everyone else's songs. Let it rip. One more pitbull and then let it rip. One more pitbull though. And we'll see you in London at the show in June. Start of June. See you there. Lovely man. Lovely man. So we're going to go to the pub. He might meet my dog. We're going to go to the show. It's all good.

So that's that. Videos of Joe up on the radio on socials if you want to have a little watch of all those and subscribe for more brilliant guests on The Breakfast Show podcast. So let's go back to other show bits and the very start of today's show. Well, I had a rough night. Actual argument last night with Bella. All right, OK. Wow. A row. A full on marital bust up. I excitedly ran to the little Tesco's.

to get sugar and lemon just to make sure we had enough in. Okay. And I said, oh, I'm just going to... I've got some extra sugar. She said, oh, we've got some anyway. We've got some caster in the kitchen. I mean, yeah, but I'm not putting caster sugar on pancakes. It's granulated. You know, like the sugar you get in cafes. You know, just normal sugar. Normal sugar you put in your tea. And she said, no one does that. She actually said, no one does that. She said, nobody does that.

Nobody puts granulated sugar on pancakes. We had a pancake paddy. It ruined pancake day. I was just there, just sadly flipping them on my own. Wow. I think there were lots of pancake paddies last night. What do you think? We went in, we went in to that day thinking, oh, this is going to be... You remember this time yesterday? I remember we were talking about the pancake toppings. I was like, it's a big day for eggs. This is huge. Oh my God, this is going to be amazing. Mmm.

All ruined by castor sugar. All ruined. It's fine now. Yeah, you're definitely over it. That's the main thing. No, well, I'm not over it, but it is fine now. We have moved on in case the Daily Mail were about to write an article about it. The marriage isn't over because of sugar. I still stand firm that granulated is fine. You can let it sit and crunch. Okay. I don't have an ally here. I thought I'd have an ally with you. I'm kind of chilled with whatever sugar, to be honest. I'm not. I take it very seriously.

It was worth blowing up the evening for. Fair enough. This is the hill I'm dying on and it's a sweet, sweet hill. And then at 7.40, we got some of your stories. Yesterday, we were so excited. So excited. We did egg chat because it was a big day for eggs. It was pancake day. Egg chat. It's just an egg chat. Egg chat. It's just an egg chat. We did egg chat, baby. But things turned sour last night.

Those eggs were rotten. I was so excited, I sort of skipped into the kitchen last night. I'd just been to get a fresh lemon and some fresh sugar. And me and Bella, my wife, made the batter. Nice. All fine. No arguments. Kitchen is a good... It tends to be a good place for an argument, doesn't it? Just between friends or between partners, it can get famously heated. We've all seen the bear. So, um...

It did get heated, but not about the batter, not about the cooking, not about the flipping, not about any of that stuff. About the sugar. Maybe I need to get some real things to worry about, because we had a proper Barney about it. I mean, ironically, our dog Barney was also watching the Barney. So, I'm a granulated guy. Turns out, I didn't know this, I've known Bella for years. She's a caster gal. What? Bad time to find out, because I brought granulated...

And she said to me, and I'd said this earlier at seven, so sorry I'm repeating myself, but there's lots of people who wake up between seven and 7.30. And I said...

Oh, I tend to, I like using granulated on pancakes. That's just, I like the crunch. And she said, and I quote, no one uses granulated. No one. And I said, yeah, they do. They use it all the time. In tea, coffee, people use granulated. No one uses granulated sugar in tea and coffee or pancakes. I went, I'm sorry. What do you mean?

So happy egg chat pancake day turned into an incredibly sad pancake paddy. And I'm not alone in this. Other people's evenings were ruined because of batter. Chloe, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Talk to me. Make me feel better and I can make you feel better. What happened? So, well, I surprised my boyfriend by buying the American style batter. He surprised me by buying the crepe style. I didn't want the crepe style. He didn't want the American style batter.

Your line's a bit funny there. You wanted to, I'm going to have an argument because your phone's rubbish. But you wanted big fat pancakes and he wanted crepes. Yes. Okay. And what was the compromise? Was there a compromise or was the evening just in silence?

No, I was going to make mine last night and he would make his on Saturday morning. OK, but did you have a nice time last night? Did you salvage it or not really? Not really because then I burnt the pancakes. Oh, Chloe. I know. Oh, Chloe. It was a disaster. Before you go, if you were to use sugar on pancakes, would you use granulated or castor? Just doing a quick survey.

I do use granulated. Thank you. Make sure I'll report back later to Bella. Chloe, thank you. Tommy, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Welcome to this slightly sad version of Egg Chat today. So what would you like to add? How are you feeling today? So basically, we had a bit of an argument as well, me and my girlfriend yesterday. A pancake paddy. So she decided to go all out and buy a non-stick pan. And it turns out it was quite sticky. Ah, okay.

So it ended up in an argument, but the dogs came off best because they got most of the pancakes. They can just lick the pan, can't they, and stuff. Yeah, okay. So what was the... Because you do need to put a little bit of butter or some sort of oil when you're putting the batter down, otherwise it will stick and burn immediately to the pan. That's the problem, isn't it? Yeah, so she thought she could just put the batter in. And you can imagine what happened. It was sticky as anything. Do you usually cook together? Is that a nice thing you do?

I would say no. It does, and I hate to say this, but partners do tend to argue in kitchens. And I've tried my very best of getting each other's way. They've got a method. You've got a method. I do think it should be maybe a solo activity. And I will learn that for next year. I thought this was going to be a nice thing to do with Bella last night, but it turned out to be actually horrible. And actually at times quite nasty.

Is everything okay now, though, Tommy, with you and your partner? Everything's okay, yeah. We had a few nice pancakes in the end, but as I say, yeah, the dogs probably enjoyed it the most. Mm-hmm.

It was a sad day yesterday, but we will get through it. And I'm really... Also, by the way, cut the music. I'm so pleased that Chloe sided with me on the granulated thing. So pleased. Let's take a break from the arguments and do yesterday's quiz. Dickie, good morning! Morning. Welcome to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. It is a pleasure to have you on. All this week, we're speaking to the McLaren F1 team. Ahead of the start of the season, we had Fraser on Monday, who is Lando's front jack guy.

We had Jude yesterday who's in charge of, well, all things operations and an amazing, what was her amazing, trackside operations was her job, wasn't it? That she said yesterday. And Dickie, tell us about you. What do you do? I'm a mechanic on Landor's car and I'm a gunner in the pit stops. The gunner in the pit stops. That is a stressful, stressful job. Are you more nervous about doing 90 seconds of quizzing or 1.8 seconds of changing tyres?

doing this, I think. Really? Okay. How do you keep your calm when that car's coming into the pit lane? How do you keep your calm? You just think about how many times you've practised it and then you just sort of blank out a little bit and just

That's about it, really. You just go into a sort of into a fugue state and you're just there in that moment. For that moment, you are just the gun. You are just that. You've got one essentially very simple job, but it's so complex, really. And it's part of this huge. I would go to pieces. I'm overthinking it now. I'm overthinking the whole thing now. It's kind of mad. But then sort of day to day, the mechanic on the car then. So you must have been hanging out with Lando in Bahrain.

Yeah, we got to saw him, but he was fairly busy with the engineers, applying run plans, what they're going to be doing over the course of the next few days, etc. So I didn't really get a chance to speak to him much. And so between now and Melbourne, what happens? What do you do now? Do you do more training? Do you do more training on pit stops and things?

So most of the team will be back at MTC going over the data and figuring out run plans for Australia. I've got like gym sessions to be doing and then yeah, that's about it really. So where will we see, if we watch the Melbourne Grand Prix, what tyre are you on? Left front. Left front, okay. Oh yeah, there'll be a good view of you from the cameras. So yeah, okay, great. People will be looking out for Fraser, they'll be looking out for you as well, Dickie. And congratulations, by the way, Constructors' Champions. What a thing for you. What an amazing thing for the team.

Yeah, it's incredible. You never really think you'd win something like that. So it's quite an amazing feeling and it still gets you now, even though it's been a couple of months. But I think everyone's so focused on this year now, it's sort of died down a bit. Yeah, just got to get on with it again. Got to get them cars going again. All right, Dickie, let's do yesterday's quiz. We have 90 seconds on the clock. Do we have some dingers? Yes, we do. OK, here we go.

And your time starts when you give me your first answer. Which singer of Angel of My Dreams and It Girl and formerly of Little Mix announced a new single called FUFN? No idea. It's Jade. What type of cakes did we celebrate with away yesterday? What day was it yesterday? Tuesday. Yes, but what cakes did we eat all... Pancake day, sorry. Pancake day, yes. Villa played Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League, but who won the match 3-1?

Villa. They did. It was Brooklyn Beckham's birthday yesterday. Name one of his famous parents. David. Yes, it was National Marching Band Day. Please, can you do the noise of a trumpet? Very good. Two points for that. Kiki Palmer was on Access All Apps with Vic and Jamie yesterday on Radio 1. But which of them is doing five ultra marathons for comic relief later this month? Is it Jamie Lang or is it Vic Hope? It's Jamie. It is Jamie Lang. It was National Snack Day. What's your favourite snack, Dickie?

Ginger nut biscuit. Is it now? Two points for that. Which rapper known for Rain and Labrador Grove celebrated his birthday yesterday? I can't remember. My mind's gone blank. It's AJ Tracy. We did granddad things on the show yesterday. Name any old man. Winston Churchill. Very good one. It was three years since Camila Cabello's collaboration with Ed Sheeran. But what was that song called? Was it called Bam Bam or Womp Womp?

Bam Bam? It was called Bam Bam. Selena Gomez released the track list for her upcoming album that she's releasing with her boyfriend. But what's his name? Oh, no idea. He's called Benny Blanco. Teddy Swims served baked potatoes yesterday with the Spud Man on TikTok. What's something that you might personally put on a baked potato after you've had a heavy day lifting tyres? Baked beans. Anything else? Any cheese on top of that? Oh, yeah, a bit of cheese, yeah. You put a little pepper on top of that?

No. No? Okay, interesting. I won't deduct a point for that. But that is the end of your quiz, Dickie. Very, very good. Thank you. See, that wasn't too stressful, was it, really? No.

No, not really. Maybe it was. I don't know. I had a nice time. It's been very nice to chat to you, Dickie. All of us are so wowed by the whole team this week because you do an extraordinary job that we can't quite get our heads around. So, 11 points on the quiz, which is a decent showing, which might mean you make it to the final on Friday against Fraser. Unfortunately, Jude has fallen by the wayside. Her qualifying time was not quite good enough. So, it looks like you might be in with a shout of being in the final, Dickie.

Oh, thank you very much. Have a good day today. We'll catch up later. And if you chat to Lando, just send him our best. Will do. Thank you very much for having me. Cheers. More quiz tomorrow. And now, let's get you up to date with all the latest things. First, though, we speak about Jade. So, Jade...

FUFN

And she's done it again. It's beefy. Get your teeth around it. Beef. Yeah, it's beefy, as producer Sophie would say. That's out next Friday. Next up is a good bit from Robert Pattinson. So he was having a conversation with Bong Joon-ho. You know Bong Joon-ho? He's the very talented director who won the Oscars for that amazing film Parasite a few years ago. He has directed a new movie called Mickey 17. And...

Robert Pattinson was having one of those conversational short circuits that we all know about and happened to me regularly. Because, you know, you're on the radio early morning, of course the brain's going to fail you sometimes. They said that all the colours I had in the movie looked terrible on me. So I'm wearing, is it Magneta? Is that even a word? He's wearing a very lovely pink scarf, but he's called it Magneta. Surely he doesn't mean it's Magneta because that's not a colour. What's the name of the colour? Magneta.

Magneta? Magneta? Magenta? Magenta, he means. Nice to see a brain fart happen in real time. Can we talk about Club Bruges? It's not Bruges, though, is it? I thought it was Brugha. Well... I think I said in the quiz, I called it Club Brugge. Yeah, it's always been Club Bruges, whatever have worked, doing the sport. Right.

It's a good question, because it isn't spelled the same way as the city, so it's interesting, isn't it? It's not Bruges, is it? It's Bruges. I think it's somewhere between, and we probably go for something that is easy to say. Okay, all right. Well, we need someone who speaks... It's a bit like, you know, you don't say Paris. It's one of those ones, maybe? Fair enough, yeah. What I've done there is I've chorizoed it. LAUGHTER

Yeah, I'm just, I'm spending the weekend in Paris. Yeah. I'm actually, yeah, this weekend I'm going to Barcelona. Yeah. And I'm probably going to have a paella. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay, so I'll take your point. I'll take the criticism. I'll take it on the chin. I'll take it on the bruger. But what I do, I'd like to hear from someone who speaks Flemish or Dutch. I'm not sure you're actually wrong, probably, to be honest. Anyone listening speak Flemish or Dutch? That'd be great. I'd love to hear from you. Thank you, Callum. The news is coming up in seven minutes. It is indeed. Get ready.

And finally, Vic and Jamie had a really good guest on Going Home yesterday. Kiki Palmer joined them for a game of Access All Apps. Kiki is a very, very famous actress. Also just a very famous meme, really. She's got a new movie out called One of Them Days, which she stars in with SZA. The memes of Kiki Palmer, they run for days. Remember this one when she was shown a picture of former American Vice President Dick Cheney? I hate to say it. I hope I don't sound ridiculous. I don't know who this man is.

I mean, he could be walking down the street. I wouldn't know a thing. Sorry to this man. Sorry to this man. She did access all apps with Vic and Jamie yesterday. They asked her who the last person she muted on Instagram was. The last person I muted was this influencer, HaHa Davis, but I don't know why I muted him. What happened? You know what? I think he was doing too many ads.

You know when people's payday starts doing too many ads? Too many ads. She muted it. I respect it. I do that all the time. It wasn't authentic, so I had to mute him. You can listen back to that whole chat if you're a fan of Kiki Palmer on the BBC Sounds app. That was from Vic, Katie and Jamie's show yesterday. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Oh, before we move on to something a little bit more pleasant and gentle.

After the news at 8 o'clock, I really couldn't resist. Carla's sent me a message. I can imagine what this might be. No, no, no, no, no. Just a smile on your face. Oh, no, no. Just wanted to put the other side across. Hi, Greg. I'm a Dutch speaker and I can confirm that it is pronounced Pugge. Oh. So next time I'm reading the news in Dutch, I'll do that. Hey!

Shall I not speak to you for 10 minutes? I've fallen out with Bella, I've fallen out with you. Pety arguments I do quite enjoy, as you probably gather. Ha! In your face, newsman. Anyway, Callum was back later and we patched up our troubles. Callum Leslie, hello! Hello! Hey! Hey! Hey!

I think we can safely say, and I'm not going to generalise because this is a national radio station, we reach all parts of the United Kingdom.

Nay, the world. But in general, we can say we've had more sun in the last couple of weeks than we have done in the previous two months. Yeah, it's getting a bit better, isn't it? Temperatures are rising. That's good. This is fine. We can see the sunshine before we start the show now. That's like, you've got to take these little victories. Oh, today it was just a little bit light here when I get in, and that's like four. Half four. See, that's nice. You can go, oh, it's a little bit light. Take it. Take that. Hold on to it, because we need that, because we have really, we've weathered the winter.

And the winter has weathered us. Now, your signs of the nature, that nature is healing, let's grab some voice notes. Tell me it's not almost spring if you don't see an old man with his soft top convertible roof down, but always in a lovely car. Yeah, lovely car, but wearing a big coat still. Yes, important. But, Callum, we can say... Nature is healing. Lovely.

Didn't even practice that, did we? Yeah, I know. It's the first time. Rich! Daffodils. We've got daffodils. Daffodils, yes. Nature is healing.

What about this? So I live on a very popular cycle route and I haven't heard him for a while, but the Sunday Lycra wearers are back and all I can hear is, oh yes, Geoffrey was it. It was amazing. What a lovely route we cycled. It's like, shut up, bruv. He's great. I don't know who that is, but he is great. We like you a lot.

But Callum, nature is healing. But also it can be annoying. Yeah, a little bit. I have that every day when I cycle in. There's always people doing circles of Regent's Park. Right, yeah. And they're always in, there's the Lycra Brigade. It is, isn't it? And you just hear, because they're going the other way to me. I hear snapshots of conversations and it's always, yeah, well, absolutely. Well, no, I spoke to David about it. And they're gone.

I'm just like, can you just shut up? You're just thinking I want some toast when I get to work. Lovely, peaceful moment. Well, the thing is about that, is when I said I'd never do the deal, I never would. I never would do that deal. I just would not. Can you just cycle? Don't talk. Cycle. Don't talk is loud. Yeah, stop being loud. Just shut up, man. Anyway. I washed my bedsheets yesterday and I put them out on the washing line. Yeah, nature is healing.

Hannah's next. Nature's healing because I'm no longer using my dog's poo bag to warm my hands up on my morning walk. It's a small winter, really. Yeah, it's got to take a little bit of a take. How about Lisa? Morning, Greg. Lisa in Guildford here celebrating the change in the weather with taking my fever tablet of the season. Hurrah for the trees. Thank you.

Bye. Hurrah for the trees. Hurrah for the trees. Hurrah for the trees. Hurrah for the trees. But remember, nature is healing. Betsy. I changed from my beanie hat to my baseball cap at work. And I was on the edge this morning. I thought, is it baseball cap?

And so I looked out the window and it was raining. So hopefully next week, Betty the Digger Driver, Galloway Forest. Yeah, I love Betty in the Galloway Forest. She's becoming a legend. I know nature's healing when my dog decides to return to being an outdoor dog. She'll be outside every second, every minute of the day. And she started doing that, so someone must be around the corner. Yeah, dogs love sunbathing. They do. I really love watching dogs sunbathing. Yeah, they're just so happy, aren't they?

Let's have a couple more. Just literally drove past someone with a strimmer. Okay. Yeah, the fussy neighbour using the strimmer. And... When you look outside and you can see people with their coats tied around their waist like you used to do with your school jumper. Yeah, lovely. A misjudged court. That's a good saying, actually. Lovely bit of detail. Also, just tends to be older men on the drive.

They've started washing the car. Oh, yeah. It's a classic. Last weekend, there was quite a lot of that going on. And with that, we can definitely 100% say that nature is healing. And with that, you're up to date with today's podcast. Thanks for listening. I'll be back tomorrow. We're going to do the quiz. Another person from McLaren on tomorrow. We're going to do Thursday.

which is your chance to shout about how excited you are about the weekend coming up. And what else? We're going to do Ask the Nation. Oh! And then there might, later on today, be some exciting news about one of our favourite breakfast show athletes.

Maybe we'll be talking about that as well. Break for show athletes? Yeah, told you about this earlier in the week. Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of our favourite characters from the last four or five years, I'd say, is going to be on the show tomorrow, maybe. We'll have some news about it. News about them tomorrow. Okay, fine. All of that and much, much more on the show tomorrow. Thanks then. Bye.

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.
