BBC Radio 1. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. Hello and welcome to Monday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. Enjoyed the BAFTAs yesterday and we did loads of all the latest things about that. Plus we had a really good Is It Just Us with Chloe, which really went in a direction I didn't think it would. We did a quiz with Beth.

We tried to give away some big weekend tickets and talked about office etiquette. And is it okay to good boy and good girl people in the office? Let's start with the very start of today's show. Oh, good morning. It's Monday. Brand new week on The Breakfast Show.

Good morning Callum Leslie. Good morning. Good morning. And I'm feeling good. Sun is out. Good. This time next week we're going to be live in Liverpool. I know. It's not long now. It's going to be Radio 1's big weekend. Finally. After months of wanging on about it. It's going to be here. And we're going to be there. And I can't wait actually. Tell you what. If you do have a lemon sip kicking about. That might help a little bit. Are you a pony little soldier? You've got a little bit of a croaky throat. Oh.

Diddums! Can someone give him a hug? We're not in the same city. Callum does the news in Birmingham and I'm doing the show in London. Not London. Is there anyone around that can give you a hug? Yeah, I'm being well looked after, don't you, buddy? Aww. Are you laying the groundwork for a little day off? Where's Shaggy?

I feel like the ground is being prepared. Listen, the ground is well and truly prepared if that's what I wanted, but I'm all good. I feel like you're putting the cones out. He's putting the cones out because there's going to be a road closure. They're going to do some resurfacing. I reckon that... I can see you coughing on the screen. I'm faded down, professional. Did you fade the microphone down to cough? I did, yes. God bless you.

Well, I'm sorry you're feeling poorly. It's quite all right. But... The sun's out. If you're feeling poorly as well, if you're feeling a little bit down today, then trust me to cheer you up. I do. Because I'm feeling great. Not to rub it in. I had a great sleep. Feeling really healthy. Yeah.

And now let's dive into today's Is It Just Us? BBC Radio 1. Chloe, good morning. Good morning, Gregory. Are you well? I am well. I thought you were. Then are you well? I am well. I thought you were. So, Monday morning, a new week is beckoning and you're here with something fun. So we'd love to do Is It Just Us on this show, which is a celebration of weird traditions...

that you think might be unique to you. So is it you that does a thing? And if it is you, we're then going to test it out and see if anyone else does the same thing. So Chloe, the radio station is yours. So for as long as I can remember, we've had an ongoing family feud about dessert spoons.

It started at my mum and dad's. So they've got two different dessert spoons, one of which is quite light and pretty and quite dainty. And then the other one is a bit more sturdy. It's a good sturdy spoon. And the family is somewhat split between what the right spoon is. So we've got the one camp which I'm in. It's the dainty spoon. It's beautiful. It's lovely to use. And then you've got the other camp with the bigger spoon.

heavy spoon, bit bulky.

And it will even be down to like when you set the table, if you try and give someone the wrong spoon, they will just outright refuse to use that spoon. They won't eat their pudding or they'll go and get what they consider to be the right spoon. What do the outsiders who come into the family think about it? What are these partners and what do the friends think of all this? So my sister-in-law, I think she's pretty much set on like her spoon is her spoon and she won't be swayed. And I'm fairly certain that that is the same spoon that my brother uses.

My partner, he doesn't want any part of the drama. He'll use whatever spoon, but then that annoys me because I want him to be in my spoon camp.

But we've also kind of, every time someone's brought a partner home, say when I brought my partner home for that first dinner meeting the family, they're kind of then presented the spoons and they have to pick which they think is the right spoon. And then more recently, the children, say my nieces, they have to pick their spoon as well. So we all try to convince them that our spoon is the right spoon.

So I don't know if it is just us, it's a bit weird, but that's our family feud. I don't know.

My instinct is to say, I think you all need some more things to talk about. What I liked about the spoon selection process was it felt like sort of medieval selecting a sword type thing. And sir, your sword, choose your weapon, sir. So are you a big spoon or are you a dainty spoon? I'm a dainty spoon. I've never come across anything quite like this, that a family divided over cutlery. It's a cutlery crisis. It's a dinnertime disaster. It's spoon wars.

I know they don't sing Star Wars in the theme tune, but... Spoon Wars, which one is it? Dainty or sturdy, it's Spoon Wars.

So you've, on the one side of the universe, you've got the dainty spoon. On the other side, you've got the big sturdy sort of, I'm imagining a shovel in my head. That's what I've got here. Those pigs in your family that use the big sturdy spoons are just sort of gobbling it all up before anyone's had time to take breath. Okay, let's see what we get. Is there another family out there that is almost at the brink of collapse because of a spoon-based dilemma?

A family divided, Chloe.

Welcome back. It's ten to nine, Chloe. The reaction has been ridiculous for today's Is It Just Us? Yeah, I can only imagine. I feel like there's a lot of judgment on my family, but you know what? I'm here for it. Well, it's more of just a debate. It's people. People feel seen. And I don't think anyone's really. I'll be honest with you. I didn't think we'd get much of a reaction to this because I hadn't really thought about it. But now I've been made to think about this. I do have an opinion on it.

Oh, go on. But we'll do that in a second. No one cares what I think. We're going to get to the listeners in a second. But can you just recap what we're asking today on Is It Just Us? What are we trying to find a match for? Yeah, so I want to know if it is just my family that have an ongoing family feud about dessert spoons and which is the right spoon to use, a dainty one or a big bulky shovel. Well, I'm going to spoil this now.

You're not the only family. That's the main headline here. So let's start with Helen in Manchester. Hi, Greg. I don't know why, but my instant reaction is dainty spoons are for cold desserts and the chunkier spoons are for hot desserts. Hope that helps.

Helen in Manchester. Yeah, Helen, thank you. Yeah, I hadn't really given it much thought, really, but now I will. Greg, I could not relate to this more. My husband will only eat a dessert with a teaspoon and it drives me absolutely mad. Right, and I love how she said husband as well. Greg, I could not relate to this more. My husband will... My husband...

We've got so many voice notes. We have a whole cutlery debate in my house, so my other half and my son prefer a big, weighty, nice, orc spoon. I and my daughter much prefer a lighter, dainty cutlery type. Also, dessert spoons, don't agree with them, full stop. Every dessert should be eaten with a teaspoon as far as I'm

Wow, I hadn't thought of this. I'm a big spoon guy. I'm sorry to say, Chloe, that I like the big spoon with any dessert. You get a proper scoop. What else have we got here? At my nan's, I have certain cutlery only I will use. And heaven forbid, if I'm at my nan's and someone else uses that cutlery. Someone's used your special fork. Wow, people are really hot on this stuff, aren't they? Cassie, good morning. Good morning.

Morning. What do you want to add to this? So, well, having listened to you, actually, I agree with the teaspoon for dessert because it makes it last longer. But in our family, we've got like, you have your normal sort of knife and fork for your main course, but obviously you've got the ones that are meant to be used for a starter. But my mum and I will only use the like,

starter knives and forks and spoon for every main meal. So if anyone's laying the table, we know where we're sitting because that's our small cutlery. The little cutlery for the borrowers, for the little mice people. Yeah. And I can force, I can maybe force myself to use the big stuff if I have to, but my mum absolutely, absolutely can't. I didn't really know this was such a big problem. Lydia? It's not the same, but we've got a pudding poon and...

What? Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's she saying? Pudding poon? What's that? Poon. I know, but she's saying poon. You can't just say poon. It's not the same, but we've got a pudding poon. And there's only one of them, but it's like a long, like a Knickerbocker Glory type spoon. And yeah, there's lots of... I'm all right now. I've got over it. I'm an adult. But there's lots of...

and arguments about the pudding poon. Yeah, it doesn't feel like you got over it because you're still taking it very seriously and messaging in a radio station. I've just moved in with my girlfriend and she has cutlery issues. So I have to present her with four different forks from the drawer when it's dinner time.

because I can never remember which one she uses. And she tests like the thickness of them, like how they kind of feel against her teeth, what they're like if they make contact with the plate in terms of the noise, see if that sends like shivers down her spine. Like, so I present these four kind of forks to her and then she'll take her pick. Oh,

What is wrong with everyone? Lucas, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Welcome to The Breakfast Show. What would you like to add to this Is It Just Us today? Do we have a match with you? Do you have the same exact argument in your family? We have the same exact argument, but with forks. We've got the dainty forks and the sturdy forks. And my dad will flat out refuse to use the dainty forks, which he calls toy forks. And if that's laid at his place, he will just go and change it straight out.

There's a lot going on, isn't there, here? There's a hell of a lot going on with this. I hadn't given it much thought, but I now am, and I'm worried that you've changed my brain chemistry on this one, Chloe, that I'm now going to look at all these things slightly differently, because there's... Sure, I have favourites, but I wouldn't not use the ones. I just... Wow. How do you feel after hearing the thoughts of the Radio 1 listeners today, Chloe? Yeah.

Everyone's got a really incredible brain and sometimes there's no rhyme or reason why these things happen. What I really love, a special commendation, I think, to Lucas's dad. Did he say it was your dad, the toy forks thing? I like that. Yeah.

What's this, Lucas? A toy fork? It's ridiculous. Lucas, thank you. Chloe, thank you. We basically did get loads of matches today, so you're not alone, but it has opened a real can of worms here.

Yeah, you'll always think about it at mealtime now, won't you? That's what I'm here for. I'll be thinking about you every time I've got a spoon in my hand. And with that, you're up to date with the Is It Just Us or the latest thing. Yeah, I'm a big spoon guy. What are you saying, Tom? What do you do?

Do you care? Do you mind what cutlery you use? I've got a favourite plate. That's boring. If it's a creme brulee. How many creme brulees have you had? I've not had a creme brulee in years. Vegan. Can you get a non-vegan? Sorry, not a non-vegan. Can you get a vegan creme brulee? Probably somewhere. But what I would do is I would get the thinnest spoon possible. Yeah. And I would try to like...

You know, like in Goodfellas when they're doing the garlic and it's like, like with the razor blade, like the thinnest garlic possible. I would try and do that with like a creme brulee spoon and just get like the thinnest sliver of creme brulee. And it's sort of like it would just dissolve on your mouth. So with a creme brulee or that kind of thing, I think I would go for a very thin spoon. Oh, I've kind of got one. Razor blade. I used to eat a creme egg with a needle. What do you mean?

You alright, Henry? No. It's like you got stuck there. That's so annoying. What do you mean? What is that annoying? Is that

Explain. Why are you eating with a needle? Well, when I was a kid and you get your chocolate after dinner or whatever, you want to make it last like minimum three hours. Three days. Because what else are you doing with your night? And so I would take a needle, like a sewing needle, and the side of it that has the little hole in is effectively like a tiny, tiny, tiny spoon. Like shaving off the needle.

No, I would scoop with it. Scoop the goo with it. Scoop the noodle. I would slice, I would surgery on the top, remove the top of the egg and then scoop and eat the insides until the egg was completely bare and then eat the chocolate. The egg was bare. Great description. Until the egg was bare. So you'd hollowed out the egg. Yeah.

And then what do you do with the chocolate? Pop it in. You should eat the chocolate, yeah. So you're scooping out the goo with the back end of a needle. You're a lemony Snicket character. It's a very sad childhood. Just sitting. Sitting by the hearth. In my imagination, you're... Well, yeah, you could be by the hearth, but in my imagination, you're on the porch in a swing chair. Yeah.

Just what if people go past thinking, keep moving, keep walking. Yeah, sitting in a gutter. Nothing to see here. Just needling my egg. Nothing to see here. Needling. Well, I'm just needling my egg here on the porch. LAUGHTER

Nothing to say. Hey, Susanna, what's going on up there? Well, I'll keep you keep moving. I'm just needling the egg until it's hollow on the porch. You think I'm no freak? You're the freak.

And you hurl the hollowed egg at them. Oh my God, I would never do that. You would never do that. What I might do is bunch up the wrapping into a little ball and flick it. Right. That's what I might do. Okay, that passes by. Yeah. All right, well, there you go. How did we... We're talking about spoons. No, but just like, how did we get the... If it's quite weird, everyone's rubbish and then...

we both made it much weirder than what they were doing. Next up, I think it's time we got up to date with all the latest BAFTA things. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. Let's get you up to date with all the latest things. Big night at the TV BAFTAs last night, celebrating all things TV. Big winners, Jessica Gunning for Baby Reindeer.

Marisa Abella won Best Actress for Industry. She was on The Breakfast Show not so long ago for the Amy Winehouse movie, so congratulations to her. Danny Dyer won Best Male Actor in a Comedy for Mr. Big Stuff. Joe Lycett won the Entertainment Award for Late Night Lycett, which is great news for Joe. Congratulations to Mummy.

What else do we have? Oh, yeah, Ruth Jones. You might have heard this in the news today. So she won Best Female in a Comedy Performance for playing Nessa in Gavin and Stacey, as if anyone else was going to win that. Great speech as well. I'm not going to lie, this is immense. I wasn't expecting to win this, no way. Actual Nessa on stage. I've won a BAFTA before, of course I have, in 1976. It was the Barry Arcade Fruity Technician Awards.

You've got to give the people what they want, haven't you? You've got to get up there and do a bit of Nessa. And then she switched back into lovely Ruth Jones to do a sincere thank you. The person I would like to thank most is my dear, dear, talented, lovely, kind, funny friend, James Corden. And also, at the end of that speech, she didn't rule out writing with him again to do a new thing. So watch this space for that. So big BAFTAs news yesterday.

And now some animal news. Way more importantly, some dogs. Kaylee Hood posted this on her TikTok of an amazing dog. Kaylee, you have a brilliant dog who moos when it's asleep. I want this dog.

That is, imagine that is in your house. However bad your day's been, you come home and your dog's doing mooing noises. You'd be okay, wouldn't you? And finally, Amelia de Moldenberg. Amelia de Moldenberg has dropped a new episode of Chicken Shop Date, this time featuring Little Sims. So she went on a date in a chicken shop, as she does.

Sims had a really good question for Amelia. How many nuggets do you think you've consumed in your lifetime? Thousands, probably. Really? Well, yeah. I mean, I've been on over 100 dates. And you get nuggets every time. You don't even want to switch it up. Never does. Never switches it up. Wasn't keen on the idea. What would I get? Chicken on the bone. You don't want to do burgers too messy. Burgers? No. Why would you get anything other than a nugget? I just don't understand it. That's a good point. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Radio 1 Breakfast.

And now, let's do a quiz with Beth. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. Beth, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Welcome to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Brand new week. Captain of the quiz. How are you feeling, Beth? A little bit nervous, but yeah, it's good. Happy Monday. Happy Monday to you as well. What's the weather doing in Portsmouth today? Everything all right? It's good.

No, it's actually pretty cloudy, so hopefully it'll clear up. It was really nice yesterday, though, but yeah, really cloudy right now. Did you have a little bit of seaside yesterday, was there? We did. We went on a nice long bike ride and then we went down to the beach for a barbecue. Lovely. That's nice. Well, look, it's one of those days. It feels warm in the air. So this is one of those days where my dad on holiday would go, I think it'll burn off. I think it'll burn off by midday. So I think it will burn off, Beth, so don't worry about it.

Let's hope it burns off. This is a really good team this week. So all four of you met at university in Winchester. Then you all decided to go and do the same job because you all studied physiotherapy. But then you all moved to the same place. You all moved in together in Portsmouth and you work at the same hospital.

Yeah, so yeah, exactly that. We all decided to live with each other after uni and we're still working together. We work across different places within Portsmouth, but yeah, we're all very friendly with each other. That's so nice. So you just decided to just to keep on, just keep the university dream alive, but actually just do your actual jobs, which is so nice. So it's Beth, you, it's Lauren, Maisie and Anya. We're going to hear the whole team this week. Quite a chaotic house, I imagine.

It really is. It can be quite chaotic and you can walk in some days and we're all like standing on the chairs dancing or just it's chaotic or trying to cook in the same kitchen or just kind of messing around each other's rooms. Yeah, but also because physiotherapists are very active as well. Very active. We actually don't, yeah, we're always out either like running or cycling or paddle boarding or just, you know, just being outside. What a great life, Beth.

Congratulations on smashing your life. Sounds great. Thank you, Greg. I appreciate that. We have... I've just forgot how many seconds we have. It's 90 seconds. I just suddenly forgot entirely the format of the quiz. We have 90 seconds. How long do you need to do this quiz for, Greg? Seven years, Beth. That's an answer.

Seven years. Seven long years. Okay, 90 seconds on the clock. Here we go with your questions. All you have to do is set the total. Do we have some dingers? There we go. And question number one is this. Which singer of Espresso and Please, Please, Please turned 26 yesterday? Sabrina Carpenter. Yes, and we're off.

But were the Twilight movies about vampires or gnomes? Vampires. They were. Shakira revealed that she had convinced her record label to let her release Hips Don't Lie. Please tell me a lie. Oh, my hair is blonde. What time was it this time yesterday?

Oh, it's okay. You did really well, Beth. It's all fine. The Miley Cyrus one was almost a banana skin, wasn't it? Yes, yeah, yeah. What have we got? 14 points. That's great.

I'll take that. You know, set the bar for the rest of the girls. Yeah, it's really good. 14 points. Excellent start to the week. Well done to you. We look forward to the rest of the team. Beth, have a lovely day in Portsmouth. Are you working today? Yes, I'm just sitting in the car in the morning before I walk in now. Okay, well, off you go. Have a great day at work and we'll catch up later in the week, all right? Thank you so much, Greg. Bye. Nice one. Cheers. Bye. Today, we talked about my dog. Surprise, surprise. One.

My dog, he had a little operation the other day and had to go back and have his stitches out in his leg. He's all mended and I took him to the vets on Friday just to have a little check-up, see how it's healing. It's healing well and to get the stitches out. And because Barney is a very special dog, he gets very special treatment. He is a, I mean, let's be honest, he's 85 to 95% of my entire personality.

So we treat him well. And we had a little road trip, me and Barney, the other day to go and see the vet, aka the super vet, Noel. And there's a video which I put up online over the weekend, which guys, Barney's gone viral. But not in a bad way. He's not viral in a bad way, viral in a good way. Because Barney is a very good boy and might be the goodest of all the boys ever.

Because Noel Fitzpatrick has said so. This was him taking the stitches out. I can officially say you are the first dog in the history of my entire career that's allowed me to take stitches out with no restraint, nobody holding the dog, and dad in the toilet. OK, that last bit was unnecessary. Good boy. Good boy. And good boy. Good boy. So the final good boy there, for those who haven't seen the video, is me good-boying the vet.

Because we were all on the ground. I was filming Barney. Noel was on the ground taking Barney's stitches out. And Barney was not even flinching. He was loving it. In fact, he was critiquing. He was like, oh, good job, Noel. Yeah, really good. And so the moment got to me and I was good-boying Barney and we're all happy and he was going... And then Noel was on the floor and then I thought, well, his chin's quite near me. So I can just... Oh, good boy. The super vet. And most of the comments are going...

You've just good boyed the super vet. I think that's fine.

I think actually we should maybe bring in Good Boy and Good Girl into real life. What do we think? Tom, if you do an amazing, you know, I don't know, come up with an amazing idea or do a brilliant edit on something, would you mind if I came over there and Good Boy'd you? I think as long as I felt like I'd earned it, I'd be okay with it. So if I Good Boy'd you, you'd be okay? Yeah. And would you mind if it was under the chin or would you like a pat on the head? How about behind the ears? Behind the ears! Okay.

Henry, do you want to be good boyed? No, please feel free. I'd be happy with a good boy, but the idea of a good boy suggests that there's also a bad boy. Oh. And I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with you chastising my edit by calling me a bad boy in the studio. But what if... Okay, so you're a bad, but you're a bad boy. Right, but

But what if... Yes, I see the problem. I'm pleased that you brought that up. Because good boy is very... Great. It's fun, isn't it? It's childlike, it's joyful, it's silly. Whereas Henry, you've been a bad boy. I find that deeply upsetting. Different, it's different, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But we do tend to send each other out sometimes. Yeah. Okay. Um...

Susanna. Yeah. No pressure at all. Uh-huh. Would you be okay being good-girled? I think I'd rather have, like, a boop. So if you do something good, you want a boop? I'd like a boop. Okay. A boop on the nose. I'd take a boop from any of you, yeah. Okay, so a boop for you, a good boy for you, Henry, but not a bad boy. Yeah, yeah. And, Tom, you want to be good-boyed around the ears. Yeah. Okay.

No, it's good to know. And for me, I'm happy with a boop. I'm happy with a ruffle of my hair. And I'm also happy with a under the chin. Good boy. You'd also like a treat, wouldn't you? I would love a treat! Yes, or a treat. So those are our preferences. Maybe ask around your office and your workplace today.

Yeah, I think you've got to be careful with the good boy, good girl thing. You do have to ask for their preferences first. You can't do it out of nowhere. I do not endorse this, says someone on text. I got good girled by my very hot personal trainer once and it sent me into another dimension. Would not recommend. I'm keeping this anonymous, Greg, as the trainer might be listening. Well, thank you for your message.

Yeah, there's nothing sexual about a good boy or a good girl. This is the thing. Barney is a very pure being. He doesn't have those impure thoughts. Lives life. Lives life waiting for his next treat. Oh yeah, good point.

Thank you for this one. Yeah, Matt and Emma on the way to sunny Scarborough say, us Northerners regularly get reassured that we are good boys by the Look North presenters. Yeah, this is one of the great TV moments, this. Well, that's all from us tonight. Look North is back in BBC Breakfast from 6.25. Good boy. And I was watching the news and I just rolled over. I rolled over and went...

Alexandra's in Worcester and says, "I often give my kids a good boy or a good girl pat on the head, and they do sit and stay as well. I'm very talented." Dartmoor Dave says, "My wife called me a good boy in public. We have a spring of Spaniel and I think she got confused at some point." Dave, she didn't get confused. She knew exactly what she was doing. You are a good boy. You're all good boys and girls for texting in.

Why don't you test it and see, why don't you give one to Tom and see how he feels in real time? I'm not sure if I deserve it. You haven't deserved it. He's done a very good job this morning. We had technical difficulties that he navigated very well. Do you know what? There is one that I can give. Here is Squitch.

And see, it is lovely. It feels great. For your very good needle story. Thank you. So that's that. Next up, I think it's probably the big weekend competition. And this is Stacey. Morning, Stacey. Morning. Where are you?

We are in Pembrokeshire, Wales. Lovely. Say again, what was the last bit? I'm in my house at the moment. Okay, great. Well, thanks for calling and getting on the radio. You want to win tickets to Radio 1's Big Weekend. This is 19-year-old Stacey from Pembrokeshire. What are you doing today, Stacey? What's going on? Nothing much. We're just chilling at home today. Just chilling at home and hoping to win some tickets for Radio 1's Big Weekend. So who are you taking with you?

Hopefully my dad. He's a massive Biffy Clyro fan. Okay. And my sister as well. That's really good. So your dad is a big Biffy Clyro fan, which leads me to my next question, which I think I know the answer to. Which day would you be playing for today? You can pick the Friday, the Saturday or the Sunday. It would be the Friday. Yes, that is the Biffy Clyro day. That's great. What's your dad called?

Andrew. Andrew. OK, so we're playing for Andrew today to get these tickets. So here's how it's going to work then. Stacey, first bit is all on you. We're going to do, we're going to play you a five second clip of a song by an artist who has played at Radio 1's Big Weekend in the past. Yeah. Then you'll have five seconds to tell me who that artist is.

Answer within that five seconds and I can give you a pair of tickets to the Friday of Radio 1's big weekend. Then, if you get that right, you'll have a choice. You can then risk those two tickets...

and get me to answer a question. And if I get that question right, then those tickets get upgraded to VIP tickets, which means you'll have exclusive access to the VIP area. There's a bar back there. There are DJ sets. There's gourmet food vendors, premium toilet facilities as well. And you'll get a behind-the-scenes backstage tour of Radio 1's Big Weekend as well. So have a little think about that in a bit. But should we do the first bit first, yeah? Yeah.

Yes, yes. I'm already dead. I'm already dead.

Straight in with Shawn Mendes. You're very, very sure about that. Yeah. Stacey, it is absolutely great. Great work. As it stands, you and your dad are going to the Friday of Radio 1's big weekend to see the legendary Biffy Clyro. That's amazing. Thank you. That's cool, isn't it? That's really cool. It is, yeah. Great start to the week.

Are Biffy one of those bands that have just been on in the house on every journey in the car with your dad for the last few years? Does he love them so much? Yeah, he really does. They're an amazing band. Have you ever seen them live? Pardon? Have you ever seen them live? No, no, not yet. Well, you will love it when you get them and see them at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool. So look, it's decision time.

Have a little think about what you want to do. Do you want to risk those two tickets in favour of VIP tickets or will you want to stick? What are you thinking? I'm probably going to risk it. Okay. Is your dad in the house? No, he's at work at the moment. It was a surprise. Okay. Does he know that you're on the radio trying to win him tickets? I think my mum's messaged him now, so he will know now. Okay. Um...

So you want to go for the risk? Yeah. Okay. Two VIP tickets to the Friday could be yours for you and your dad, Andrew, who probably is now listening. So, Andrew, hello. I have no idea what's about to be asked of me. And you can probably tell I'm a little bit nervous because I haven't blown it just yet on any of these.

So here we go then. You're definitely sure? I'm going to answer a question now, and if I get that right, then you get two VIP tickets. Yeah. If I get it wrong, Stacey, you're clear that you don't get any of these tickets? Yeah. Okay. Here is the question. The wombats are performing on the main stage on Friday at this year's Big Weekend. Now, they share their name with a pretty cute mammal, but how many teeth does an adult wombat have? Is it more or less than ten? Ten.

That is stupid. What sort of question is that? Um, more? Probably more than ten? I mean, as a side note, they've run out of ideas with these questions. It's got to be more, isn't it? Stacey, I'm going more, okay? Okay. The answer is more. It's more! It's more!

Stacey, you got the VIP tickets! Oh my god, thank you so much! You are welcome. That is a really stupid question. Would you have gone more? Yeah, I think I would have gone more, but it was a ridiculous question. I was trying to picture a wombat, I was thinking I've never checked its teeth before, but okay. So that's good news. You need to go and call your dad, don't you? No, yeah.

Thanks for being on today. Two VIP tickets to that Friday, which includes a backstage tour, nice toilets, a backstage bar, nice food. It's all, it's going to be an amazing weekend. So thank you for being on this morning. Good, good risk. Thank you so much. Good risk. So that was good. I'm glad we gave away those tickets. But we tried to give away more tickets, but the phones broke. Which is so naff.

Should we tell the BT story from the podcast? What happened? So what was the thing, Henry? Well, we went out and we were trying to do it. And then, I mean, no one was calling in. So I actually buzzed into the studio and said, did you read out the number? Yeah, Henry was worried. It's interesting that you thought that we were really unpopular. And it wasn't a phone problem. I assumed it was something we'd done wrong. But you work here every day. You know how bad these computers are. Yeah, they are. All knackered.

But yeah, Dan Morris has had to go away and call BT. We are a world-leading broadcaster and we have had to be on the phone to BT. We just called up the normal number. Yeah. Surely we've got a hotline. Maybe the business line. Come on, Nick. It must be a special BBC number for the BT. British Broadcasting Corporation, British Telecom. Come on. Nobody's above sitting on hold to BT. Yeah. It took 45 minutes, so I think it was in the queue. I've got to say, the BBC should be above BT.

Everybody else trying to call BT. We are next to the BT tower. Just run over there. Guys. Your call is important to us.

Well, thanks for listening. I'll be back tomorrow with another breakfast show with a really good Everyone's Rubbish from a listener called Abby. Plus, we'll try and give away as many tickets as the phones will let us. We'll do all the latest things. We'll do yesterday's quiz. And that's that. I'm off to eat a cream egg with a needle. Goodbye. Radio One's All Day Breakfast.
