This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK. BBC Radio 1. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. Hello and welcome to the Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast with me, Greg James. This breakfast show podcast will appear in your feeds, but only if you subscribe, which you should do now, because you'll miss out on some of the biggest guests in the world, like Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. They're coming up very shortly. What else is going on? Hey!

What's a curling? I'm about to tell you what's a curling. We have a quiz. We have a lovely man from Crawley called Dan with his kids who are quite demanding of me today.

We also celebrated families at Christmas. We got you up to date with all the latest things. And we started today's show with what we thought was a shocking revelation. Callum, what are you doing to us? What's that? But we all gasped. You gasped? Yes, because your top story made it sound like you were retiring.

We all just went, what the hell is he doing? Well, you thought I was going for a dramatic on-air resignation. Yeah, we thought it was a bit bloody bold, this.

And the top stories today. Listen to that. In that context, your headline makes it sound like you're leaving. Listen. Right now, coming up to 7am, and here's Callum with the latest. Radio 1 Newsbeat. No hard feelings, but I'm ready for a new challenge. LAUGHTER

I was sitting there going, OK, I didn't... This feels like it's been delivered to all of us. I may tweak how that's written for...

For 8 o'clock? It was really good. It's a lovely start to the morning. I mean, we panicked and then we went, oh, he's talking about Marcus Rashford. I'm very sorry for causing chaos there. Are you resigning? No, staying here. You're all good. So you're going to be on on the 7.30? I'm going to be at the 7.30 and the 8 and for a good number of bulletins after that. Okay, are you going to, just so we're prepared, are you going to attempt to resign at 7.30? I'm not going to attempt to resign at 7.30 or at any other time, certainly not on the radio either. Right.

One last time then. Right now, coming up to 7am and here's Callum with the latest. Radio 1 Newsbeat. No hard feelings, but I'm ready for a new challenge. Bye then. Probably not the forum for it. Phew. He's not going anywhere. But he is back later to talk about Jonathan Bailey again because he's obsessed.

But for now, let's enjoy Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. It is the Radio 1 Breakfast Show and what a treat. Andrew Garfield, Florence Pugh. This is... Who would have thought it? It's a delight. It is a delight. I mean, we've never met Florence. I know, we've never seen each other's eyeballs from eyeball to eyeball. What do you think? They're great. Yeah? I like them. Good, thank you very much. Andrew, I don't think we've done an interview since maybe Spider-Man, the social network maybe. Gosh. How have you been?

I'm middle-aged. I've been pretty middle-aged recently. You're looking great on it. Honestly, I don't feel it, but thank you very much. How about you? I'm well, yeah. I'm doing The Breakfast Show still, which is really fun. For all of our benefits. Do you listen? Love it, mate. What's your morning soundtrack, Florence? Not to try and catch you out or anything. That felt a little bit like a gotcha. What's the thing? What's the thing you listen to early morning? You know what? I listen to my Discover Weekly. What are you into at the minute?

We've been loving Chapel Roan. Chapel Roan, baby. Can't not. So welcome to The Breakfast Show. We've got a lot to talk about. Let's talk about We Live In Time. We

We can get into the plot in a second, but I don't want to give too much of it away. But it's essentially a love story with all the complications that come with a love story and then a very sad complication of a cancer diagnosis in there as well. But it flip-flops between time, goes back and forwards in time. But really what's so nice when I watched it is that you two feel like the two that we see in interviews on Instagram when you're doing cooking, Florence. It feels like they're really close to your real personalities in terms of you're quite bright in this film.

Did it feel quite bright and sunny playing her? Oh, amazing, yeah. No, I was really looking forward to...

Certainly looking for a role like this, I was really, really hoping to someday do a love story and hopefully get to play a woman that would represent my friends and my siblings and myself. But yeah, I loved playing someone that I could relate to. Yeah. How did you feel playing Tobias, Andrew? Oh, yeah, it was beautiful. And again, similar to Florence, I've never played a character like this that feels...

as ordinary and extraordinary as my life is. And all of our lives are friends of mine who have been through very, very similar things to what Tobias goes through. And to work with such an incredible British actress who I've been wanting to work with for so long. And Tobias is...

It feels very recognisable to me. It does feel like he would be a mate. There's that really interesting bit about your character, Florence Almut, who is a professional chef and she wants to be extraordinary and wants to prove to everyone that professionally she's sort of smashed it.

I wonder whether there's any of that in your life. Do you have those moments where you feel that you've not got the work-life balance quite right? Because you're both really sort of quite far into your careers now. How does it feel? Oh, my God, I always... I mean, any destination that I supposedly want to get to, I get there and I'm like, oh, no, there's another mountain for me to climb. Really? Yeah. But I think everybody's like that. I think, you know, there's just so many...

and lifelike things about her that I certainly relate to. And what am I going to leave behind? And how can I achieve everything that I want to achieve in the time that I have to achieve it? How does that feel with your career, Andrew? I feel like in my 20s and my 30s, it was very much like

got to plant my flag, got to make sure that I survive, right? And I want people to know what I'm about. You know what I mean? And then something happened for me in the last few years and it was like, I don't need to do, I don't got the energy for that anymore actually. Like I'm kind of knackered, like proper midlife crisis stuff. And also like,

It's less for me right now about what it was in my 20s and 30s and now more mysterious and kind of a little bit broader, a little bit wider. And it's exciting in a different way. Exciting. Very exciting. What great answers. Thank you for those. Oh, yeah. Really good insight into your brains. We're going to take a break and play a song. And then we're going to come back and I'm going to expose you to the Radio 1 listeners. The

The listeners have got their unpopular opinions ready to go. Shall we do it next? I'm super excited. Let's do it. And we're going to do unpopular opinion. Are you ready to chat to some listeners? Hell yeah. Yes, please. They are very excited. Us too. So, loads of unpopular opinions. The listeners are standing by. Let's sing. Come and give us your unpopular opinions. Something up till now that you've been scared to say. I was like, you've been doing na-na-nas there. And first, we go to Georgia. Georgia.

Mint sauce is underrated and belongs on lasagna. That is a definitely unpopular opinion. Wait, mint sauce is underrated? I agree with the first part. And deserves to be on lasagna? Hard disagree. Well, we need to try it. You can't knock it until you've tried it. Exactly. Really? I can imagine it wouldn't work, Georgia. It's just...

It's just so good. The tomato, the mint. Oh, it's just heaven. Honestly, I think mint sauce is underrated. It's absolutely hard to agree. And also, I had an idea for a restaurant called Dips, where the main thing was the dips. What are your dips? Well, when I would get 20 chicken nuggets at McDonald's, it would be sweet and sour sauce, barbecue sauce, and, you know, ketchup and honey mustard. I'm a big dip. All of them? Yeah, I'll do all of it. I love a garlicky thing. So garlicky, oily, garlic mayo.

I like garlic, garlic, garlic, garlic, garlic in my mouth. Lady garlic. Lady garlic on my face. Are you ordering that in a restaurant, Georgia? Are you asking for mint sauce? I have tried it in the past. What's the reaction? Apparently Italians don't really have mint sauce in the back of their kitchen. So I just kind of got to get through the lasagna. Would you ever carry it in your bag? Yeah, carry it in your bag.

That might be the next one. Georgia, thank you for your unpopular opinion. Cheers, Georgia. Bye, Georgia. Let's go again.

An opinion. Strong start, huh? Oh, that's it, that's it. Come and give us your popular opinion. Something up to now. La-la-la-la-la-la. Gone from the na-na-nas to the la-la-las. You always need someone to la-la-la. I think so. Mercedes is next. Whoa, Mercedes. I think that lava lamps need to make a comeback. Hell yeah. Oh, my God, I have so many lava lamps. 100%. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Still? Yes. Where are they? Are they in your bedroom? By my bed. Are they? Yeah, I love lava lamps. I love them. Mercedes is a popular opinion in this room. Right, so Mercedes, they never went. I agree with you. They never went. One of the great things about being an adult and earning your own money is you could just... Buy anything you want. I love a lamp. I could buy it at the touch of a button now. Yeah.

They've got some really cool new colours as well. They have metallic colours, so you can be really groovy if you want. It is a groovy thing. Can you buy me a lava lamp? Yeah. You're on my Amazon now. Just buy me it. It's a late birthday present, early Christmas present, but paid for by me. I'm going to do it. Whatever one you think I should have. See, look how jazzy that pink one is.

What's your colours? What makes you happy? I like a green, I like a blue, but I like bright, I like anything. I mean, honestly, I'll take... Pink? Pink or greens? I think keep it classy with orange. I think I'll find the orange, like 70s style, like...

Oh, there's a salt lamp. We could throw that in there as well. Put it all in. Put it all in. That's what I'm saying. As an adult, you can do what you like. You can do this and just send it back if you don't like it. I'm doing it right now. I'm not sending back Florence Pugh's love. Okay, they don't have... But I think we should do the blue and the green. This is happening. It's happening. Done. Adding to basket. Great. Yeah, make sure it's quick delivery. Get it for Christmas. Do you want me to add in, like, a humidifier or anything? No, no, no. I don't need a humidifier. I think that's fine. All right, great. Bye.

Mercedes, look. Mercedes, very popular opinion. Great to chat to you, but it just started an amazing conversation. We love lava lamps. I've just bought a new one. Yeah, we just bought you a few. I just succeeded by making you all purchase one. You did it. You did it, Mercedes. Thank you, Mercedes. Have a great day. Thank you, Mercedes. Should we do some more? Yeah. We've already bought a lava lamp for me. Who knows what'll happen next? And we sing!

Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something I've done now that you've been scared to say. All right, so a na-na-na, a la-la-la, a na-la-la, a sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha. Simon! I hate Labradors. Wow. Screw you, Simon. Wow, how dare you? Figure that out, Simon, for yourself. No, we haven't heard from Florence here. No, I don't hate them. I definitely like them. But I do think they might be an overrated breeze. Ooh.

Okay. Like, there are also equally beautiful and cute dogs. No one's denying that. No. But I think I would choose a different type of dog. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you want me out. Well, no, I don't. I just wanted to show you my... You're Labrador. They are beautiful. I'll show you my guy. They're very beautiful. Yeah. I was brought up with a Labrador called Jesse, so I'm very biased to this. Where does this stem from, Simon?

Oh, where to start? I mean, God, the list goes on. I mean, I think they're kind of twee. I think they're earnest. I think they're, you know, there's no edge to them. They're like goody two-shoes dogs. You know, I just...

For me, if they were a human, they would be that kid at school that got straight A's, but also they're like captain of the school team or they play some obscure sport at county level. You know what I love about this, Simon, is your passion. I really don't agree, but I respect your passion for this so much. I really get it. I really hear you. I believe it.

I believe that he hates them. Okay, I'm pleased. Let's have more diverse dogs in cinema. You know what? That's the thing that I feel about labs. They're beautiful and they're very gorgeous, but I do think they've been the favourite for too long. Yeah. I'm with you on that. Thank you, Simon. Thanks for being on. No worries. I think we need to leave it there. What? Sadly. Unless, of course, you've got an unpopular opinion. He's not unpopular. It's just an opinion. Yeah.

But the game is. I know, but here we go. I don't understand why we back white toilets, but we don't have more colourful toilets. Fantastic. That's more of an interesting conversation. Why aren't there more colourful toilets? And I'm also part of the, you know, I've chosen a white toilet. That's interesting. But why not more colourful ones? Because whenever I see a colourful toilet, it makes me really happy. Let me tell you something. Tell me. My wife chose a blue toilet. Oh!

Oh, so you're in that club too? Mm-hmm. You understand. Yeah, yeah. I'll tell you something else on a similar topic. Go on. While we're here, while we're talking about that. Please. Why are smoke alarms, why do they look so boring? Yeah. Make it look nice. Yeah, jazz it up. Jazz up this stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good too. Also, here's another one. Yeah. Why are they so far away?

Smoke. Why do you have to get a broom to reach it and turn it off? Why do you have to climb a ladder to turn it off? Yeah, why do you have to do something death-defying? Well, I always thought... Hot air rises, right? Yeah, but why is it so far away? All good things. All good things. This is all good stuff. But sadly, we've run out of time. No! One more.

Go on, you have one. Your turn. I really can't. Everything that's in my mind now, I'm not allowed. It's just you're thinking of biscuits. Biscuits? Yeah. Whenever I can't think about the thing that I need to think about, I just start thinking about biscuits. Oh, no, I have lots of unpopular opinions, but they're not for mass consumption. Not for now. No. Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, thank you so much. Thank you, man. Everyone should go and watch We Live in Time because it's beautiful. And if you want to hang out with Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield for a couple of hours, then...

You should, because it's really wonderful and congratulations on it. Thank you. I think you're going to win loads of awards. I think you're going to win loads of awards. Especially with all of those unpopular opinions. And thanks for my lava lamp. That's all right, darling. You bought it. Next up on The Breakfast Show podcast, it's time for Dan and Crawley. Dan, welcome back. Dan? Hello. Hello.

Welcome back to the Breakfast Show, how are you? I'm good, how are you Greg? I'm alright thank you, are you busy, what are you doing today? Just loading the kids into the car, getting ready to take them to school. Right, so you've got a load of stuff going on today and we were desperate to catch up with you because we were reminded of your great fun stuff with Jonah Louis time last year but also when you basically stopped traffic to make everyone fall in love with you because you're doing lovely stuff in the community. So how's it all going this year?

Yeah, really well. We actually had our Christmas party two days ago. So the day before your birthday, we celebrated Christmas with a load of elderly people. And yeah, it was fantastic fun. And they all had a great time, all went home with a few sore heads, I think, if I'm honest. Good.

And by the way, you're listening to live parenting. This sounds like chaos this morning, Dan. Thanks for chatting to us. No, no, no, this isn't chaos. Trust me, Greg. This is calm. This is calm. So who have you got in the car? Who are you trying to get to school? I have Isla Nancy. Say hello to Greg. Say hello. No, she's just smiling aimlessly. And we have Isaac George. Say hello. Hello, Greg. And we also have Vinny. Say hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Oh, hold on. Vinnie has a request. Hang on a minute. I'm a bit worried now. What's the request? Can you play Pick a Pit by KSI on Monday 1, please? He doesn't do requests. Yeah, we'll play. It's at 9 o'clock. Vinnie, of course, will play KSI for you.

Of course, your dad's a legend. It's interesting that he picked KSI because I saw this thing going around last week of a primary school disco. The DJ was doing a primary school disco and he got requested KSI 10 times. So I'm not surprised by this one. We'll play it in a second. So Dan, so it's all gone well then? So the collection's gone well? People have been generous this year, have they?

Absolutely. It's been absolutely overwhelming. Local businesses and people have just been absolutely amazing. So yeah, really, really good. Well, it's very nice to catch up with you again and Merry Christmas to you and to all your family. What are your actual plans for the day? Are you going to actually have some time off? Yeah, so I'm hoping I've got a few. There's a few children's charities that we work with. I've got to pick up some toys over this week and drop them off to

families in need and then on Friday I am done and yeah we'll just do our normal Christmas thing it's usually crazy you know we've got six kids so

It's always a crazy one, but I embrace the madness. I know, you love it. Well, if you don't embrace it, then it just ruins you. So you've got to embrace it. It helps to be a bit crazy in this house. Well, it's very nice and it's very uplifting to chat to you again. And it's inspirational to hear as well. You've got your own stuff going on, but this is the time of year when you should always look out, look out and help those around that aren't as fortunate as us. And you're a great example of that, Dan.

Absolutely. Sorry, Greg, two seconds. Now you want to say hello to Greg. Go on. Ilo? Yeah, say hello, Greg.

Hi. Well, look, do they all want to join in with Jonah Louis time? Because that's why we got you on originally, wasn't it? Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest. I think I've let myself down because I'm not sure my kids know Jonah Louis. Well, it's time to educate, Dan. It's never too late to learn about Jonah. Okay, you're going to go for it on your own first verse and then we'll all join in. Okay, Dan, go. Go.

La-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-

Lovely. All right, everyone. Oh, my God. That was amazing. I love this. Oh, my God. This is amazing. Did they do it?

No, one of them did. One, okay. Was it Vinnie? Did Vinnie do it? It was Isaac, actually. It was Isaac. Okay. Well, I mean, Vinnie, I'm going to play your song anyway because it's Christmas and we don't want to disappoint anybody. So, Dan...

You're welcome. Have a great Christmas. And Dan, thanks for being on and reminding us of the true spirit of the season. Have a great one. Absolute pleasure, man. The kids sent you a voice note yesterday and you didn't play it. They were a little bit upset. I just thought I'd get that one in.

Oh, don't leave it on a sour note. I didn't see it. We'll try and find it. We'll try and find it. But for now... I hope you all have a great Christmas. You and the production team. Thanks for entertaining us all year. You are more than welcome. Let's play KSI. Merry Christmas, Dan! Take care, man. Merry Christmas. Cheers! Nice man. Lovely man. Good kids. The kids know what they want. And they basically want KSI.

Next up, let's talk about mince pies. We need to talk about Jonathan Bailey. We do. Again. Again, for the 75th time. We need to talk about this because... Okay, I think you need to explain yourself. Well, listen, this is as much of a surprise to me as anybody. We talked yesterday and you tried out about my whole blue cheese and the mince pie thing. Yeah. Which I've been doing for at least 10 years. Right. Right? Right.

That's what I'm suspicious about. I've been doing this for a long time. I can't remember where I originally heard about it. I think I just came up with it. It's just very convenient. The video you posted last night, after a day of yesterday, why don't you try putting the blue cheese into your mince pie? Well, somebody, some lovely person on Instagram, sent me a DM saying, have you seen this, by the way? And I, unless it's somebody who's made it with AI, which I guess isn't impossible, but

I'm slightly stunned by it. It's a video of Jonathan Bailey on a red carpet talking about his favourite Christmas treat. Listen to this. I love a mince pie, but take the top off, put some stilton in it, put it back in the oven, let the stilton melt into the mince pie, bite into that. That's your Christmas treat. I promise you, I promise you and everybody that I know and everyone I love that there is no way I knew about that. How long have you been sitting on this? I got that last night.

I don't know what to believe. It's the same, it's even the taking the top off it. That's why it's suspicious. Did we both watch the same TV programme like Nigella about 15 years ago who did it or something? Is that what we've done? Yeah, where did you get it from? I can't remember. I wonder where Jonathan got it from. I genuinely watched it and kind of thought somebody made that. Is that fake? Well, I thought it was AI. And then we snooped and it was the GQ Man of the Year Awards 2023.

I mean, I... Because I just thought, oh, he's copied Jonathan's opinions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's copied his opinions. Listen, and I'm sure at home somebody's sitting going, he's just made this up. He knows that's him already. I promise I have never seen that video before. It's the method and everything. I love a mince pie, but take the top off, put some stilton in it, put it back in the oven, let the stilton melt into the mince pie, bite into that. That's your Christmas tree. You're trying to engineer you two being together. And that's fine. And that's fine.

And that is fine. Not commenting on that. This is, this is, I think this is, it's meant to be. I'm now, I've now, I've now cleared you of, of any potential AI or, you know, lies. The investigation is closed and I think you're telling the truth.

Therefore, this means it is going to be a Christmas miracle. It's fate. It is happening. Right, what's going on? What's happening here? I don't know. Oh, voice went there. I don't know. You started talking about putting Stilton on a mince pie. Yeah, blue cheese, I said. And you didn't specify Stilton. And then, I didn't specify Stilton. Sorry. I need to get the facts right. I'm sorry. This is, you're schooling me in journalism. You said put blue cheese on a mince pie. Yep.

Then we found a video of Jonathan Bailey saying the exact same thing. I've never seen before. I've never seen. And now it's on Lorraine. Yeah. Now, you know Lorraine. Yeah, we have. Yeah. What's going on here? Well, you are influenced. You're a mincefluencer.

I'm a mince fluencer. That's what you are. I don't really know what's happening, but all I can see is it is tasty and you should try it. All right. I know you have and you're not convinced, but I think everyone should try it. Did you text Lorraine and say, put this on your telly? I didn't. No, I didn't. I promise. Did you say, I am a mince fluencer and I demand that you do this blue cheese mince pie thing? I promise I didn't. All right.

I'm watching you. On the BBC Sounds app, on the radio, and ask your smart speaker to play Radio 1. Radio 1.

Also today, we did some festive family things. We want to do a festive version of family things. And we're arguing in the studio. We're bickering. Very much like a family. I just think it should be called festive things. And what are you saying, Tom? It won't scan. No, it doesn't matter if it scans. None of the songs we do scan. Mum things do. Mum things and dad things scan. Mum things. OK, but I'm just going to do...

Festive things. But fam things is embarrassing. But it's not embarrassing. It's the whole family. All right. Okay, here we go. Fam things, fam things.

Whatever. It does scan better, but it sounds bad. So we celebrate family things. We do mum things, we do dad things, we do all sorts of things. It's a great place to celebrate your mad families. You know when your dad gets annoyed about something and he pinches the bridge of his nose...

for like three seconds and just shuts his eyes and I don't know where he goes to but it's obviously like another dimension of just solid anger. Also mum things. Hi Greg, so my mum thing is my step mum, she's always sharing lost dogs on Facebook. Okay, so what are those festive family things?

that cause arguments or that are just brilliantly mad and you're maybe on the way home in the next few days to see your family and you just know it's going to happen. What are those things? Yeah, there you go. Someone just texted in saying fam things is cringe. I told you. I told you. That's the listeners and they're never wrong.

Well, it's one listener. It's one listener. But each listener is important. They are all important. Every listener counts. Every customer is important. How about Yule Things, says Rich and Hayden. Oh, yeah, good. Yule Things, Yule Things. There we go. Yeah. Good.

And that means you all were wrong. So were you. And I also was wrong too. We're doing Yule things. Celebrating your families throughout the Christmas period. We love doing this. Celebrating mad families. Dad things, mum things, nan things. Sibling things we've done before. Someone suggested, by the way, dog things. Let's get that in for the first week of Jan. Let's get that in. First show's back.

Dog things would be fantastic. But as it's the festive period, let's start with Louise's one. Oh, that's just a bit of support for me. Sorry, I don't know how that got in there. But yes, Louise, I do agree that that is a great theme tune. S. Letting your kids decorate the Christmas tree and then rearranging it as soon as they've gone to bed. Yeah, that is S in Leicester. I've seen a lot of those videos this year.

Of mocking your children, but on Instagram. Which seems to be okay, because if you do it for likes, it's fine, right? That's fine, that's how the world works, isn't it? Emma, good morning! Good morning, Greg. Welcome to Yule Things. What are you going to point out about your family, then?

Well, my gran is, you know, classic gran. She never remembers anyone's name. So you can never play, like, games at Christmas with famous people's names in it. You know, like the card on the head one, we have to guess who you are.

So she always calls famous people the wrong name or slightly different. So we have classic ones that we always remember. So Tom Hiddleston will always be Tim Middleton in our family. And Craig David is Daniel Craig. So sometimes she'll mix them up. You know, classic. Yeah.

Tim Middleton and Daniel Craig slash Craig David is really good. It's like the guy, do you remember when they were filming that Wonka film and it was Timothee Chalamet and they were filming it on the South Coast somewhere and the guy on the local news was like, oh yeah, I saw that Timothee Camberlake. Camberlake, he's playing Wonka, isn't he?

And it's like the Idina Menzel thing. Yes, it is. So John Travolta is all of our nans. Yes. The wickedly talented one and only Adele Dazeem.

So good. Emma, Merry Christmas. Thanks for being on. Merry Christmas. Thank you. All right, we've got another. My dad does a Yule thing. He bought a jumper last year. Not a Christmas jumper, just a normal jumper, but he bought it around Christmas time. Now every time he wears it, he goes, Welcome to my Christmas clothes. Oh, I like that. I really like that. That's a great dad. One year on Christmas Eve, my brother cooked.

Vicky! Hello! You're live, Vicky. What's going on? What's your Yule thing?

So my Yule thing is my mum would always take photographs of me and my sister with our presents on Christmas morning. And they were probably the worst pictures you've ever seen in your life. Have you since seen them? Are they in an album somewhere? Yes, we recently moved out of the family home, so we went through loads of pictures. And yeah, there were plenty in our house.

What's the best present you're sitting in front of proudly? Proudly, but awkwardly. There's not one of me, but I know that there's one of my sister. She's holding the Wii. Holding the Wii? Holding the Wii, yeah. Oh, I see. Like a, yeah, not an actual... A Wii console. Yeah, gotcha. Gotcha. I didn't get you for a second, then I eventually realised what you were talking about. Thankfully, she doesn't have Facebook, so they didn't end up on there.

There was a there's a photo of me that my mum's got of of me sort of looking holding a scalextric awkwardly as a child sort of in in a dressing gown. And then one of me trying to balance on a bike. But you can't balance on it because you're in the living room. So that's that. But all of these will surface. They're really good ones. And are you are you hanging out with everyone this Christmas?

Yeah, we're spending Christmas with my fiancé's family this year. Nice. And there's going to be about 18 of us, so it's going to be chaotic. Okay, well, you must insist that everyone poses for awkward photos. Oh, yeah, definitely. We'll put them in an album. Thank you. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. The my-your thing is that my mum will, every year, without fail, buy the largest Christmas pudding you can buy on the market. The thing is, no one in the family likes it.

Including her? Yeah, no one does. No one. I'd outlaw it. If I was in charge, I'd outlaw it. I would. I would. The first two things I'd do is I'd make mince pies available all year round and I would outlaw Christmas pudding. No one wants it. And it's only for the performance.

My mum, actually, this is a good mum thing for it. She will always forget to put a coin in the pie. And then she'll set fire to it with the brandy or whatever you do. And then she'll go, oh, hang on a second. And then she'll take it back out to the kitchen. She'll go, mum, we know what you're doing. We know you're about to put a coin in. She'll go, not! Yeah, we know you're putting a coin in. And also you're burning your hands because it's a flame. Yeah. MUSIC PLAYS

Some great Christmas Yule things today. Time now to get you up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. All the latest things. Okay, and we'll start with Billie Eilish, who was performing in L.A. yesterday. The Hit Me Hard and Soft tour is still going strong. Third night in L.A., and she brought out a very special guest. Of course, she had to bring out Charli XCX. And they did Guess, the remix that was released in August.

It's now earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Duo Group Performance. That recording was dreadful, but you get the idea, don't you? It was off someone's phone.

Next up, I played a game with Nadia J from the One Extra Breakfast show yesterday. It's called Alphabet Compliments. It's a game where we take turns to come up with the most creative and cheeky compliments, but going through the letters of the alphabet. And it was going quite well until I think I got stitched up here. Cue. Quite possibly the...

Who's buzzing that? That was longer than five seconds, wasn't it? Five seconds. Forfeit. I'm thinking about you. Just form me a sentence. She just wanted me to do a forfeit, essentially, and the forfeit was my worst nightmare. Nadia wanted me to rap. Maybe just a verse, and then you... My biggest ick in the whole world is middle-class white guys rapping. LAUGHTER

I can't do it. And I was unmoved on this position. So I have a go at Matt Evanson for doing this. Right. But I can't bear to listen to it. I love Matt Evanson. It's the one thing I can't stand. I can't do it to myself. But we did have a really nice time. And if you want to listen to all of that, it's on BBC Sounds. It was on Nadia J's show on One Extra. Or just go to YouTube and it is all on there. It's Alphabet Compliments, a very good game. She's had some very big guests on it and also me.

And finally, finally, big, big news. Father Christmas has received official permission.

to enter UK airspace this Christmas. The CAA, which is responsible for regulating and inspecting all aspects of civilian flying all year round, has released a statement saying Santa is now cleared to fly on Christmas Eve. Officials did have to make sure that the sleigh complied with safety requirements and all the reindeer were well-fuelled and ready for take-off and landing and cruising.

And it is all fine. So I think we should probably listen to a bit more of Holiday Flight because it gets us in the mood. And then play Slade. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Scream! And let's do a quiz. Here comes Bradley. Bradley, good morning! Good morning!

Morning, Greg. Welcome to The Breakfast Show. Welcome to yesterday's quiz. Where are you calling from, Bradley? Cornwall. Lovely Cornwall. We've got a load of singles on this week. We've got singles on because we like to include as many people as possible on this show and this quiz because getting a whole team together is a bit of a faff sometimes. So we know there's a load of people that obviously listen to the radio on their own doing stuff and you are one of those people. What do you do, Bradley?

I'm a gardener. Are you? I guess that is quite a solitary job, isn't it, sometimes? Yeah, well, we work in small teams, so it's not too bad. Okay, so it's not solitary at all. But give us a little winter garden tip, Bradley, while you're on. Good question. Probably, I would say, apply a lot of mulch to the bed. Mulch? Mulch to the bed? Okay. What does that do? Anything like that.

It will prevent weeds growing. It will improve the soil. They're good for frost. Yeah, it'll protect any plants and leaves as well, yeah. Okay, guys, just remember, mulch the bed this festive season. I've just looked in my rear-view mirror because I can see... I've got a camera on me and I can see the screen in front of me and behind me is producer Tom wearing a really creepy snowman mask. I don't need this. I'm a little bit hungover, so I really don't need this today. Really, that's horrid.

Horrible little creep. But Merry Christmas, Tom. Merry Christmas. So, Bradley, we're going to do a quiz. Are you quite good at the quiz, usually? How do you normally fare? Yeah, I'm normally half decent. I mean, I listen every day, so I should be getting a reasonable score. OK. Well, thank you for being on today. We're going to give you a load of questions about stuff that happened yesterday. It's yesterday's quiz, and here we go. FIVE

Do we have some festive dingers? Yes, we do. All right, Bradley. So how many did Louise get yesterday? 11. So I reckon you could do this. Here we go with your first question. Keeley Hodgkinson won BBC Sports Personality of the Year yesterday. But which 17-year-old darts player took BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year? Lou Glitler. Correct.

Blue cheese. Yes, it was. I'm going to give you an extra point for being specific. It was the second day of Christmas Bird Count Week, but what does a Christmas bird sound like? Merry Christmas. Very good. It's a Mike the Christmas Magpie impression. Two points for that. Dua Lipa spoke about collaborating on the Talk Talk remix with Troye Sivan and which Bratz singer?

It was 7-16. It was. It was National Maple Syrup Day. What's something you could put maple syrup on? Pancakes. Correct. Listener Natalie was on the show yesterday to talk about a tradition she has with the song Driving Home for Christmas by which artist? Chris Rea. Chris Rea is correct. Lady Gaga reacted to Chapel Roan, revealing that her father named one of her pets after her. But was it a chicken or a horse? Chicken. It was a chicken!

And Elton John. Whoa, we haven't finished yet. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We haven't finished. He's announced a clean sweep, but we haven't finished. Come on. Elton John shared a photo that he had taken with which espresso singer? Sabrina Carpenter. It's a clean sweep. He's done it. Come on, Freddie. We've done it.

Who were you talking to then? Oh, my dog. Is he called Freddy? Yeah, he's very good at quizzes, so he's helped me out. He did a lot of the revision. Love Freddy. What sort of dog is Freddy? He's a cockapoo. Oh, lovely Freddy. Good boy. Put me on speaker when I say that he's a good boy. Okay, you're on speaker. Good boy, Freddy. Good boy, Freddy, Freddy, good boy.

Good boy. That is off. 17 points plus the extra for the clean sweep. That puts you on 18. Amazing work, Bradley. Revision paid off. It really did. That was a very, very good showing on the quiz today. Well, Merry Christmas. Thanks for being on today. Merry Christmas to you, Greg. Have a good time in the gardens today and send my love to Freddie and give him a big belly rub from me.

I will do. Give my regards to Barney. I will do. Do you know what? I actually will. I'll go home later and I'll say that Freddie says hi, but also so does Bradley and he'll understand. He might have even met Freddie at some point. You never know. Secret life of dogs and all that. Anyway, all right, Bradley, speak to you in a bit. Bye. That was a great start to the show today. I needed that. I was a little hungover at 7.15. I think I feel better now.

since I've had a Bailey's. It's best just to keep me topped up. Like Lenin. Lenin? They pump him full of, in state, they sort of pump him full of fluid to keep him from going mouldy in his glass case. Yeah, so you can go see him. Could you embalm me when I die? We'll embalm you in the live lounge. That'd be lovely. With Bailey's.

Embalm me with Baileys running through my veins. Would you prefer Baileys or wine? Wine, I think. Yeah, we'll get you red. I feel like the wine would preserve me better. You'd stink with the Baileys. Yeah. The cream would curdle. You'd go a bit moldy. The cream would curdle. The wine would turn you a funny colour. So be it. It would turn me red. Yeah. I'd look fantastic. I'd look fabulous. You'd look like Morph from Art Attack. I don't know who that is. I'm so young.

That is the end of today's Breakfast Show podcast. Everyone OK? Anything you want to add? Put my song in. Oh, put the song in. Why don't we do a live version of it now for the podcast listeners? So, yeah, this was the 10-minute takeover. And it was a great choice. It was the Veronica's Untouched. And it was the choice of Ryan in Glasgow. And Susanna came up with a festive fact, which was...

The Veronica's were born on Christmas Day. That was Tom's fact actually. Oh, Tom's fact and then you immediately put it into a song. And then I said, did you know the Veronica's were born on Christmas Day? And then... Did you know the Veronica's were born on Christmas Day?

Amazing.

I love the doo-doos. Thanks. They're very... They're haunting. They're haunting. They're really haunting. I think if one day we found out that one of us had been a ghost all along... What is this, Anna? She's a ghost.

She's worked on every breakfast show since the 60s. She's in the background of every picture. She's having him out of the photo of Tony Blackburn.

Can we talk about the photo of Tony Blackburn, Quilly? We can talk about the... Well, it's not a photo. It's oil on canvas. Darling. Someone has painted Tony Blackburn, but he is slightly on the wonk. It's... Yeah. It's... Look, maybe it wasn't supposed to be accurate. Well, maybe it was in the attic and that's what's keeping the real Tony Blackburn. LAUGHTER

Tom, we can't. Strange. Can I tell you a devastating story about Bella and a ghost? Yeah. This is podcast-only material. I forgot that Bella has quite bad intrusive thoughts sometimes. She's quite unwell in that department. And I'd forgotten about this briefly. And one day I was joking. We were talking about ghosts and I went, oh, I'm a ghost. I don't exist. Oh, for God's sake.

I was hoping for like a, oh, don't be silly. And she burst into tears. Because her biggest fear is that I'm a ghost and I don't, I'm not real and none of it's real. So I need to go and...

actually speak to her about that. I was so mean of you. No, but I didn't mean to. I was doing a bit. I was pretending I was a ghost. Not everything in life needs to be a bit. Well, I'm afraid you're looking at the wrong guy. Thanks for listening. I'll be back with you tomorrow and we're going to have Justine on. We're going to be stepping into Christmas plus Tom Grennan's going to do Third's Way and then we're going to get ready for some special guests on Friday. We're going to have

Gavin and Stacey creators and stars Ruth Jones and James Corden, a.k.a. Nessa and Smithy, on The Breakfast Show on Friday, so that'll be a nice way to round off the year. Goodbye. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. Yoga is more than just exercise. It's the spiritual practice that millions swear by.

And in 2017, Miranda, a university tutor from London, joins a yoga school that promises profound transformation. It felt a really safe and welcoming space. After the yoga classes, I felt amazing. But soon, that calm, welcoming atmosphere leads to something far darker, a journey that leads to allegations of grooming, trafficking and exploitation across international borders. ♪

I don't have my passport, I don't have my phone, I don't have my bank cards, I have nothing. The passport being taken, the being in a house and not feeling like they can leave.

You just get sucked in so gradually.

And it's done so skillfully that you don't realize. And it's like this, the secret that's there. I wanted to believe that, you know, that whatever they were doing, even if it seemed gross to me,

was for some spiritual reason that I couldn't yet understand. Revealing the hidden secrets of a global yoga network. I feel that I have no other choice. The only thing I can do is to speak about this and to put my reputation and everything else on the line. I want truth and justice.

And for other people to not be hurt, for things to be different in the future. To bring it into the light and almost alchemise some of that evil stuff that went on and take back the power. World of Secrets, Season 6, The Bad Guru. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
