BBC Radio 1 Radio 1's All Day Breakfast with Greg James Hello there and welcome to Thursday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. Well that was a fun show, although at times it was tense in here. We all fell out today. You'll hear that in a second. And I don't know if I'm okay with it. Still.
Oh, we had a Radio 1 DJ unpopular opinion. We had a quiz with a lady called Emily. We got you up to date with all the latest things. We spoke to one of our favourite listeners called Danny, who is a fruit flight expert.
We tried to give away some big weekend tickets and that went quite badly, I think it's fair to say. But it was a good outcome eventually. Oh, because it's Thursday, we do way. So we do Thursday, that was really fun today. There's a really great kid who did a great French voice, which you'll hear in just a bit. So plenty to look forward to. But let's start with the very first bit of today's show. ♪
Good morning! Thursday, Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Good morning and welcome. Hope you're all good. Mean It From The Traitors is going to be on tomorrow. That's fun, isn't it? Callum! Hello! Hi there! You alright? I'm very well. We've missed you. It's nice to have you back. How's things? Yeah, good. All good, thank you. You know, it's a very special day today.
It is a special day. Very special day. It's Sir David Attenborough's 99th birthday. I mean, that is some number to get to. What a guy. What a guy. We've been so lucky to get him on Radio 1 a few times over the years. And I think now is a good time to replay a bit of wonderful Harry. Do you remember Harry during the pandemic? This little kid who came on and David Attenborough helped him with his homework.
and was talking to him about his pets. Obviously, David Attenborough wanted to know what pets Harry had. Harry had a lizard.
And at the end of the phone call... Bye, Harry. Goodbye. Give my regards to your lizard. Give my regards to your lizard was born on that day. Amazing. People still say to me, give my regards to your lizard. I think we should all give our regards to lizards. I think that's fair enough. It's out of nowhere sometimes. When people say goodbye, they'll go, give my regards to your lizard. And then I'll reply, and mine to yours.
David Attenborough's got many legacies. That's one of them. Maybe his greatest, who knows? So happy birthday to one of the greatest men ever invented. I think we should start the show with a David Attenborough celebration and maybe, oh, how about the bit where we got him to...
Welcome Adele back into the world. This is when Adele returned with that huge song Hello a few years ago. I think this is perfect. And we got Sir David Attenborough to narrate the video of her coming back. The year is 2015. The world appears to have a green tint to it, but there are also some dead insects in the foreground.
But don't worry about that for now, because we are about to witness one of the great phenomena of the natural world. What a man. What a man. So good. So welcome to Thursday's Radio On Breakfast show. Lovely, David. That feels like a long time ago, doesn't it? I guess it was.
And a lovely way to start the show. Next up, I think we should do Unpopular Opinion with the Radio 1 DJs. Sam McGregor, good morning. Good morning. Jack Saunders, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Danny Diston, good morning. And Lauren Layfield, good morning. Good morning.
This is a great gang and we're going to do a really good edition of Unpopular Opinions. So let's sing. There'll be a delay on the phone. It's going to sound terrible, but do try and join in. Lovely. It was beautiful in its chaos. And let's start with Danny. Danny!
Guinea pigs are not cute. I do feel like they're a bit of a waste of time. I don't want to be involved in it. Were you around them as a kid? Were they part of your life? I didn't have one myself, but a lot of friends had them as pets and I always used to think, why? It tends to track that if your mum and dad don't want or are too busy to have a dog, a rodent, it does tend to be the option, doesn't it? It's very much like it's a second or third choice. Jack, did you grow up, because you've got dogs now, did you grow up around dogs? No.
Winnie is my first and only dog. She is the love of my life. You wouldn't catch me near a guinea pig. They don't love you, right? They just exist in the cage. Sam McGregor, just thoughts on guinea pigs. I'm going to fire a guinea pig question to you. I don't know if you know that. I don't know if you're an expert on guinea pigs or not.
But would guinea pigs exist in the wild? Well, it's a good question. I had a gerbil. Apparently, it was a Syrian gerbil. And I don't think mine was from Syria. So I don't know where they're coming from. I think mine was from a pet at home.
Producer Tom seems to have guinea pig thoughts. Somewhere in my brain, I think they come from Peru and the Andes. I don't know why I know that. Okay. I think they're from Peru. Right. So they do, they obviously exist somewhere. Yeah, they existed first and then they were domesticated. They don't want to be here. No, probably not. They want to be in Peru. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Peru's lovely. I've just Googled it. Can confirm. The Andes. Okay, great.
From the Andes. Good. All right, well, let's continue. Great unpopular opinion. Let's go again. Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Your unpopular opinion. Something up to that. And let's now go for the other half of Sam and Danny. It's Sam.
The Happy Birthday song isn't actually a good song. Hard agree, actually, yeah. It makes me wince every time it's sung. Yeah. Lauren, thoughts on the Happy Birthday song? What, the standard? Yeah. Yeah, it's all right. I mean, it could do with just like a revamp for 2025. Yeah. Stick a donk on it.
I mean, I think there's much better songs we could have chosen as a collective worldwide agreement for the birthday. It's got one of the most boring melodies of all time. Like, Jack, if the Happy Birthday song came out today, that's not Hot List Records. Yeah, well, can I put my two cents in here? Because you actually listen to the original Stevie Wonder version, and it is a banger. But somewhere along the line through history, we've ruined it.
The only thing that saves it, I find, is a huge... And many more! At the end of it. I think that can save the whole thing if someone commits to it. But apart from that, I'm with you. I'm certainly a fan of a few hip-hip hoorays at the end of it as well, just to kind of wrap it up. I love the idea of, Jack, you trying to do hip-hip hoorays to a really cool artist for a hot record. I would love it.
I dare you, when Dochi's in, to do what you want to do. And what a great record, Dochi. Hip hip! Hooray! Please. We all have to have different modes in our lives. You have my word.
Oh, wow. What a promise. Well, look, let's practice it now, shall we? Let's imagine what it would sound like. So, Jack, shall we pick a hottest record that you've done recently? What do you want to go for? I think a hip-hip parade would sound nice going into a bit of bass line. Shall we do the new George Smith track, The Way I Love You? Yes. Do you want to do it on the intro or the outro? How are you feeling? I think on the outro might work because it's the end of Happy Birthday, isn't it, the hip-hip parade? LAUGHTER
All right, give us an intro then. Give it to Jack Saunders Beans. Okay. She's back with a brand new piece of music. It's bassline heavy and it's Georgia Smith. This is the way I love you on Radio 1. A more unpopular opinion next. That was Georgia Smith on Radio 1, the way I love you. Hottest record recently on Radio 1's new music show. Hip, hip. Hip, hip. A one for life. Hip, hip.
What a shame. Lovely, very good. What a wonderful mess this unpopular opinion is. I love it. Let's go again. Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up to now that you can get to say. Hip, hip, hooray.
Something up to now, the dudes that say hooray. Lauren Layfield. You shouldn't have to wait for other people to have all their food brought out at a table before you start your meal. I'm not going to do that thing where I look at it for like 30 seconds and go, is it okay if we, is it alright if I just
Start just eating. Start eating. Yeah. Have you ever been at the table where someone said, well, no, actually? Yeah, has anyone ever had a no before? Jack, Sam, Danny, anyone said, no, you may not start? When it's someone else, you would never be mad if they did it. But I must admit, when it is me, I do get a bit self-conscious. You've got to treat yourself with respect, Danny, and just dig in. You are, you're right, actually. I'm sort of the opposite, actually. I'm a really fast eater, so I often find that I finish before the other person's even...
So it's better if I wait, to be honest. You're a bit like my dog who has to have a special slow feeder. That's exactly what I need, yeah. One of those D-balls.
bowl. He's got a little ball that he nudges around the house with his nose and it slowly just releases little blobs of dried salmon or whatever it is. It takes him about 20 minutes but he's sort of knackered and also has played a game. So maybe you need to gamify your dinner. That's what we need to do here. It's a great unpopular opinion, Lauren. Thank you. Very, very good. Just throw caution to the wind and just eat when you want to eat is what you're saying.
You eat when you want to eat. Don't hold out for anybody else. You don't owe them nothing. Let's do one more. Here we go. One last sing song. Come and give us your... Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And finally, Jack Saunders. Weddings are an absolute waste of time and money.
It's time to drop a big one. You're married. Look, I went and did a little lope situation. We kept it between myself and my wife and a few close friends and family that wanted to come there and be supportive. I think you've gone bold. You've gone big. I will stand next to you, but actually slightly behind. But I do have a similar one, which is...
If you don't really, really love the person and they're not your closest friend or brother or sister, I do think expecting loads of people to travel for your wedding abroad in a place that has no...
connection to your family heritage you've just picked it because you wanted to go to Tuscany that's the I find that I find that egregious that's exactly that's pretty much the level Greg if it's a really personal important thing to you and it means a lot and there's history there and we're close fine I'm there I'm supporting you I'm right behind you Sam and Danny thoughts no I absolutely agree I couldn't agree more the
thing with a big wedding though is I've always thought they were stupid but I do think realistically one day I will want to be the centre of attention can't you do that with just like a little party that's true I could you know I don't know I go to big weddings sometimes I think wow they do look nice so don't they everyone looking at you and having a lovely time and saying nice things and they have to do all the speeches and everything but most of the time no one's funny
No one's got the best man's not got enough charisma to actually hold together the whole thing and it's all just a bit awkward and weird. I was at a wedding recently and I did think during every speech, God, I could do a better job actually. Now we're getting into it. Maybe you should have jumped up there and just dropped a few one-line clangers. Get to the funny faster. Always. All right, great way to end today's Unpopular Opinion.
Thank you so much, Sam McGregor, Danny Diston, Jack Saunders and Lauren Layfield. Thanks, everybody. Thanks, guys. Pleasure. Radio One's All Day Breakfast with Great James. On Thursdays, we weigh. There was an idea from quite a few of you earlier because we started talking about Sir David Attenborough's 99th birthday today. Happy birthday, Sir David Attenborough. Rhys in Bedford said we should do an Attenborough-style edition of Thursdays Weigh.
Someone else called it Thursdayvid as well, which does sort of work. But anyway, Josh in Warwickshire is taking it very seriously. Here you see my Thursday has started and I am going to work where I have recently received a promotion. Whey! Yeah, it's good. I can't deny that that's not good. But I just don't think...
I think it will get old quite quickly. I think that's not me saying David Attenborough's got old quite quickly. I'm just saying it will get old quite quickly. And is it the most respectful thing to celebrate his birthday? One's good. We had a nice time with one. But look, everyone's welcome on Thursday. If you've never sent a voice note in before, maybe you've never messaged Radio 1, maybe you've never messaged a radio station, make today that day.
You could be like Eva, who I spotted on TikTok yesterday, describing the thrill you get from hearing your message on the radio. Have any of you ever texted a radio station and had it read out? I just don't think enough people have done this. I did it today for the first time and I feel amazing. And when it got read out, I felt amazing. I was just listening there and saying...
That's me. It was so much fun. I really suggest it. Everyone, text your favourite radio station. It's a nice feeling. It is. Even though I work on the radio, I still like getting shout-outs on the radio. Sometimes I'm texting other radio stations with different names just so I can get different shout-outs to see if I can trick the presenters. And none of you will ever know that it's actually me.
Callum Leslie. Hello. Are you into Thursday? Always. Are you feeling good? I think so. What's your Livingston chat? Well, it didn't happen last Friday, so we're in the playoffs now, but that's fine. When are the playoffs? The quarterfinals are now Livingston next week. It's the end of next week before Livingston start playing. You've got a day off again for it? I don't think I do at the minute. It's the weekend, I think. I'm okay. Yeah.
So you could say that you're excited for the playoffs? Listen, second in the league in the playoffs. Right, so that could be your Thursday. Yeah. All right, well, let's do it once more with feeling. Okay. Okay. Right. Go. Livingston are in the championship playoffs again. We've got loads of good voice notes for Thursday. This is what we do every Thursday. It started off as a one-off and then we thought, we quite like this.
It's not a complicated feature. Not everything has to be. It's not particularly advanced. It's not particularly clever. It's just nice. Let's start off with this one. Hey, Radio 1. It's Claire and her daughter... Billy. I'm excited because it's my first ever Radio 1 voice note. And I'm excited because it's non-school uniform day. A good song for it. Good song for today's Thursday.
We're going to go for Pendulum. Big journey tonight, Greg, from Sheffield to Bristol for the playoff semifinal. Come on, you Blaze, let's win it. Good start. I have some spare time and I'm having a cup of tea in bed. Woo!
Today's my last day before the weekend, before I go to the lake, should we get off for a birthday? I am going on my family holiday on Saturday with my partner and children. Yes! I love this song. It is very good. Makes me want to just get in a fight. Do you know what I mean? It's a good running song.
- We're going to a school trip to Jersey today. - Oh, school trip, way! - Throw your fists up, come on with me! - You know what I mean though? - Yeah, I know what you mean. - It's fighty. - It is. - It's angsty.
I do realise that I just said I wanted to go and have a fight and then played a very cute four-year-old. It wasn't quite the right tone. This is Indigo Storm, by the way. What a name. Listen to this. We're going to a school trip to Jersey today. Hooray! Hooray!
I have a piano lesson today. Wahey! That's Zach doing a piano lesson. Zach, have a good one. Rhi! Today's my last day at work before my henty this weekend. Wahey! Let's go to Aberdeenshire. Aye, aye, Greg. Three more days of work and then I'm off to Florida for two weeks. Wahey! From Aberdeenshire to North Wales. I'm going to Amsterdam this weekend. Wahey!
Now to East Anglia. I'm very excited because the British and Irish Lions squad is being announced today and I'm hoping to see lots of Northampton Saints players in there. Woo! What a big day today. Emma. You'll never guess what. My boyfriend asked me to marry him last week. Woo! Woo!
She's engaged. Congratulations, Adam. It's been the longest four-day week ever, but driving it like it's stolen towards the weekend. Yeah. This is actually quite good stolen car music, isn't it? Steal a car, put pendulum on. Reek havoc. It's GTA 6. Molly. This is your best weekend. Woo-hoo!
Alex and Katie. It's Alex and Katie. Yes. Travelling down to Cornwall to get married tomorrow. Whey! Oh, Alex and Katie, congratulations. What a weekend ahead for you. Isabel. It's my grumpy's 80th birthday today. Happy birthday, grumpy. Whey! Oh, that's the sweetest thing ever. Isabel, who's eight in Eastleigh, her grumpy's birthday on VE Day.
What else? My toddler slept through the night last night and what's better, didn't wake up until 7.15. And one more for now. Hi, my name's Freya and I'm looking forward to my panna cioccolata. Oh, it's a French way.
Louis. Yeah, that's great pronunciation there, Freya. Hi, my name's Freya and I'm looking forward to my pain au chocolat. She's doing it French way as well. Oh, Freya, you're my favourite one today. That's great. Oh, dude.
So Fuzzway was back on today. Thank you so much to everyone for sending in voice notes. So many of them today. We'll go again. And guess what? Next Thursday. I need a clever way of getting out of this song and into the next one. And because I don't have a clever way, the only way I know how is to blow the whole thing up. Then let's fast forward to the 10-minute takeover. And the final song, beautiful song, calming music.
reflective hopeful song started a well started a row actually enjoy this radio one radio one's all day breakfast it's so good it's so good Hans Zimmer and Ray on the vocals of Mother Nature final choice on the 10 minute takeover Matthew in Southend-on-Sea thanks a lot
OK, what's that elevated today, then? What mundane task. Greg, it's definitely elevated the click and collect this morning. That's nice. Thanks for that, Daniela. Esme, the student, is in St Andrews and says, ''My flatmate just walked in on me ironing my sheets to this.'' I think she thinks I'm having an existential crisis because I finished all my uni work. Look, maybe you are. Maybe that was the perfect soundtrack to it. The Radio and Breakfast Show, the perfect soundtrack to your existential crisis.
Dan the Gardener says, you're absolutely right. I've never felt so courageous cutting the lines in my lawn this morning. Oh, but that was beautiful. That is Mother Nature in action. Although, as we know, there are no straight lines in nature. I'll just leave that with you. There aren't. Producer Tom's going to question that. Go on. There's some.
There's no straight lines. What if a snake is pointing directly at you? Yeah, but a snake is not perfectly straight. It could be. What do you mean it could be? It could be. The shape of a snake is not perfect. It's not like a perfectly... Like a crack in a rock sometimes. There'd be bits of it that are too straight.
It's going to happen sometimes. What about a blade of grass? Sometimes it'll be straight. They're pretty straight sometimes. What I'm saying is there's no manufactured straight lines in that, like cutting lines in a lawn. Yeah, not manufactured, but like naturally straight. There are no straight lines in nature. The universe is massive. No, but I'm saying there's no perfectly sort of order. There's no order to things like that. There's one. There's going to be one. Yeah, there we go. Do you know what? You do the show. LAUGHTER
A spider dangling from a thread. That's a straight line. Tommy, you better play us on. David Getter and Sia. Beautiful people. Hi, Fruitfly Danny. Hi, Greg. Hi, good morning. I'm sitting in a room with people annoying me this morning. I'm worried that you're also going to annoy me as well. How are you?
I'm excellent, yeah. You're one of our favourite ever listeners. Let me just tell you that. You're one of our favourite ever, one of our smartest ever listeners. Fruitfly Danny rose to fame back in... I used to not look at these people around me. They're deliberately annoying me. I'm going to arrange my monitors so I can't see their smug little faces.
Oh, no. I'm going to speak to our boss later and get a new breakfast team. I'll be on your new breakfast team if you want. Yeah, but only if you agree with me. Do you know what they're doing? They're willfully misinterpreting what I'm talking about. And I was talking about a guy who was artificially making his grass straight and making the line straight. And I said...
There are no straight lines in nature. And they're like, oh, what about the horizon? Oh, what about the crack in a rock? Well, obviously there's going to be things that are... But I'm talking about orderly, manufactured, like beautiful, you know, tree trunks aren't... Yes, Susanna, what do you want to... Bird formation. What do you mean bird formation? What do you mean by that? Straight lines in a pattern, naturally. Honestly, these people...
I was getting all into that nice song from Ray and Hans Zimmer. I was just getting all sort of Mother Nature-y and like, isn't the world beautiful? And the world is beautiful because it isn't orderly. And it's all, you know, it's been made by accident and there's sort of formations crop up. And yes, of course, within that... But if you look around the world of like, there's not... Like a piece of paper has been... That's a manufactured straight line. But if you, you know, if you pour a bit of paper, if you've got a bit of wood from a tree, it's not going to be perfectly straight. It's going to be jagged in the...
Yeah. I mean, this is why I went to Oxford to study biology, just so I could help out with questions like this. Right. So talk to me about straight lines in nature, Danny. I know we were going to get you on to talk about something else, but how do I dare I ask? Are you in are you siding with the breakfast team or with me?
I think you've got a good point. I think there are very few natural straight lines. Now, I studied insects, so that would be my speciality and where I come from. And I'm thinking of a fruit fly.
They're pretty curvy. There aren't that many straight lines. They are curvy. I mean, I guess in a beehive, if you're thinking about it, they do have those hexagonal little cells in there. And to be fair, hexagons are made of six straight lines. That's true. So that could be an exception. If we think of ants, they can lay pheromone trails from one place to another, and those could be in a straight line if it was called for. But, you know, if there was a crumb or a leaf in the way, then they could bend around it. Mm-hmm.
So I think quite a lot in biology, you're probably pretty correct. I think physics, physics could really get us, but you know, I don't get physics. I think if you really look at the formation of ice and snowflakes, there's probably some fractals or straight lines in there, but who cares about physics?
Who cares about physics? Well, we care about you, Danny, and we care about fruit flies. Just to reiterate, Danny did this amazing... Didn't you do your PhD on fruit flies basically bonking? Wasn't that what it was?
It was actually male aggression in fruit flies. So yeah, the males are very aggressive. So if you come by one, be careful. It could attack you. No, they mainly attack other males. But yeah, they were being aggressive because they kind of wanted the same female. And my big paper was that I found that male fruit flies get hangry.
Oh, that was it. It was them getting hangry and them getting aggressive because they wanted to eat. Well, look, we wanted to get you on to talk about, you had some dinosaur news, some animal news for us, but can we, should we do that tomorrow? Should we get Danny back on tomorrow? Yeah, back on tomorrow to talk about what you actually wanted to talk about. Well, I wanted to talk about Mother Nature and I wanted to talk about the beauty of the world and that we're surrounded by straight-line buildings, but actually the real beauty is in the natural earth, but never mind, let's not talk about that. Oh, yeah, but there's a crack in a rock that was straight, Greg. Yeah.
I once saw a stick that I think was straight. OK, you're not listening to me. Don't be a sore loser. Well, we could always ask David Attenborough. It is his 169th birthday today. It is his 169th birthday, correctly identified. Danny, we love you. Thanks so much for being on The Breakfast Show and sorry that you had to be in the middle of that horrible heated argument.
That's okay. I'm here to solve issues. We'll speak to you tomorrow. We'll do dinosaur chat tomorrow morning, okay? Okay, sounds perfect. Speak to you in a bit. Have a good day. Oh, dear. You're not about to get me involved in this, are you? No, no, we've all had a fallout. No, it's fine.
I've had a storm off. I know. Have you? Well, everyone was bullying me. Everyone was ganging up on me. You might be huffing a minute, but it's okay. I was having a little huff. I'm allowed to have a huff. I'm a human being full of different emotions. I'm allowed to have to be the jolly radio man all the time. That's not realistic, is it?
It's always one of the things you never expect. I know, yeah. Those annoying people that are always like... Well, actually, if you think about it... Yeah, you're willfully misunderstanding that, so... No, no, we're finished. No, I'm not finished, actually. I've actually realised that I'm not OK with it. This is the real me. This is the real me. Anyway, my point was...
Look, Leslie in Peterborough says, Greg, your team's annoying me too about nature's straight lines. So annoying. Stand your ground, Greg. Nothing is ever perfectly straight. Someone else will just call me a snowflake as well. Or maybe everyone's calling everyone snowflakes or just saying that bits of a snowflake have got straight lines in them. Why don't you shove off?
I was talking about the random nature and the beauty of the unpredictability of the landscape and all the rest of it. Like, well, actually, I've seen a bird once. LAUGHTER Oh, there was a bird I saw once that had a beak and I'm pretty sure it was straight. Do you know the best way of stopping bullying? Launch the Big Weekend competition. Radio One! Radio One!
Yes, Liverpool! Hello. Welcome to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Lauren, are you okay? Are you panicking? Are you feeling good about the competition? I'm panicking. I'm panicking. I'm not going to lie. Your hello was giving panic a little bit. It's panic, yeah, massively. I heard some slight nervous energy even in the hello. But this is good. You need a little bit of that to make sure you're concentrating for the competition. So, Lauren, thanks for calling. What are you doing today?
I'm actually just at my little cleaning job if I'm honest but I was listening to the radio as I was cleaning so then I was just and then when I heard the song I was like go go go go go. That's good well thank you for thank you for taking the instructions so like how you said I'm at my little cleaning job if I'm honest I always want you to be honest please I don't know why you'd be lying about that sort of thing so that's um you'll be so you're we're interrupting your your actual job today so whereabouts are you calling from?
Well, I'm in Whiteley at the minute, but yeah, near Portsmouth, about Portsmouth area. That is actually quite a long way from Liverpool, isn't it? Yeah. But you are free on that Friday to go if you get the tickets this morning? Yeah. Okay. Have you been listening the last few weeks to all the presenters giving this a go? And how have you been doing at sort of recognising the artist?
Yeah, I'm quite good. I am quite good. I absolutely like love music and I'm not a music snob. So like I do listen to like a bit of everything. But I just feel so bad for the people, especially when they win a ticket and then it's the DJ and then the DJ gets it wrong and everyone feels so bad. I'm like, oh no. Yeah, it is the worst. And that's about to happen again.
Well, no, not necessarily. I feel confident. I haven't messed it up yet, but we'll see how today goes. Firstly, you need to get through this round, which is just tell me who the artist is. I will play you a clip, a five-second clip of a song.
And then you'll have another five seconds to shout the artist only. All I need is the artist. Don't worry about the song. Just tell me who it is. It's an artist who has played at Radio 1's Big Weekend in the past. For one ticket to the Friday, are you ready to play, Lauren?
Yeah, I'm ready. Here we go. Just tell me who this is, please. Sabrina Carpenter. Straight in. Straight in. No need for tension. No need for me to do the dramatics at all because you got that straight away. That was Sabrina Carpenter. Of course it was. And that means you have a decision to make. One ticket is currently yours. Do you want to risk that ticket?
But the upside is I could win you three more, so four in total. Or if I get the question wrong, then you lose all of them. Do you need some time to think or do you know what you're going to do? No, do you know what? We'll gamble it. We'll go with it. I believe in you. I trust you. We got this. I will answer a question next.
Have you seen that one? Producer Tom, have you seen it? What if the question you have to answer is, are there any straight lines in nature? Oh, God. Were you listening to that debate earlier, Lauren? Yeah, yeah, it was so funny. No, it wasn't. I was just laughing. It was so funny. It wasn't funny at all.
Anyway, let's get serious. Let's get dramatic. Okay. I really don't want to blow this. I don't want to get too blasé about all this. I know. Please don't. Four tickets could be yours to Radio One's Big Weekend. We had a really easy question yesterday, but as we say, they're only easy if you know the answer. It was the Biffy Clyro question yesterday. I wonder what the question will be today. Let me press play on...
Lauren, I'm gonna fade you down because you're not allowed to help me. Okay? Okay. So, actually, I'm gonna fade you down slowly. Can you just go... Can you just make a noise for me? Go on, make a noise. Go again. She's gone. When I fade you back up, will you go... Will you do that for me? Yeah, I can try. So you faded down again. Okay, focus. This is what I was like when I was trying to revise for my exams. Just distracted constantly. Okay. Here's the question.
Natasha Bedingfield is performing on the Friday at Radio 1's Big Weekend. How many Ds are in her last name? Is it one or two? Oh, hang on. I think it's one. I'm just going to write it down. Beding... It wouldn't be double. Bedingfield. Beding... Bed. I think it's one. It's just bed. Double D doesn't... No, it looks... I think it looks weird.
I think it's... Oh, it's... No, it's one. It is. It's one. Is it one? It's one. The answer is one. It's one. We got the tickets. You're going to Big Weekend. I'm going to fade you up. Thank you so much. Thank you. You're welcome. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Did you know that? Did you think it was one or two?
I thought it was two, to be fair, so I was wrong. Bedingfield. I was trying to sound it out in my mind. I was like, Bedingfield. I'm relieved about that because I was messing around beforehand. But well done to you. You've got four tickets to the Friday of Radio 1's big weekend in Liverpool. Oh my goodness, I can't believe it. And you'll be able to see Natasha Bedingfield. She'll be on on that Friday. I know, I'm so excited. I'm so buzzed.
It's going to be a brilliant start to the weekend. Thank you so much. Thank you. You are welcome. Thanks for being fun and enjoy the rest of your cleaning day. And we will catch up with you in a few weeks' time in Liverpool.
Thank you so much. Take care, Greg. Thank you. And you. Thanks, Lauren. What else did we do? There was another, you had another argument as well. What was my other argument? You had an argument with Callum. Oh, I did have an argument with Callum today. I'm quite fighty today. And you were talking about fighting in Pendulum. I was. Maybe it's Pendulum that did it. It's Pendulum's fault. Oh, it was. That's true. Pendulum on the 10 Minute Takeover said it makes you want to... Oh, no, it was the Thursday song. It makes you want to fight.
Yeah, it's also maybe because I'm wearing my self-esteem complicated man jumper today. Yeah. Complicated man. Red does scientifically make people more angry and it's a red jumper. It is a red jumper. He's seeing red. Yeah, yeah. Didn't deserve a laugh. I'm just still cross with you all. So 8.30, I had a go at Callum.
I think you're being a little antagonistic. Do you? Yeah. Do you think that? I do. Okay. I think every headline for the last hour and a half, I think you've been trying to get a rise. I think you've been trying to get a rise out of me. You know I'm sort of a quiet Arsenal fan. I don't like to go on about it. Read out the words again. Another year without a trophy for these guys.
Yeah, it's just been negative, isn't it? Another year without a trophy. Another year without a trophy for these guys. It's the sort of thing you'd say in the pub, I think. Another year without a trophy, is it, Greg? If you'd won last night, then we'd have said something else. I'm not going to rise to it.
I'm not going to rise to it. That's maybe the most self-control I've ever seen you exert on the radio there. Yeah, well, that's because it's not worth having a go at a farty poo head like you. That's because it's not worth having a go at a clean shirt like you. I'm not going to get riled up by a plonker reading the news like you. Yeah, so just why don't you just shove it? Let's do something nice now. Let's do yesterday's quiz.
Emily, good morning. Hello, Greg. Hello. How are you? I'm good, thank you. How are you? Pretty good. You've had an exciting time of it. So you're on the cusp of a new chapter in your life. Tell everyone about it. Absolutely. I've just qualified as a teacher. So I'm in the process of trying to find a job.
Amazing, amazing work. Congratulations. That is an exciting few months ahead. So your job hunting at the minute, but you've finished a placement thing. So all the things, you're all qualified and everything. But you've also, you've still got a lot of work to do. Tell us about that. Yeah, I've got a dissertation to write due in about two, three weeks. So yeah, it's about children learning through play. So yeah.
Interesting. Well, I love the spirit of that. Yes, always we should be playing, whatever age we are. That's great. So, well, I hope it all goes well. That's a lot of... It's hard work becoming a teacher, isn't it? So hats off to you. Yes. Yeah, it is. So this is Emily from Chester. You are 22 on Saturday. Oh, my God. Happy birthday for Saturday. Thank you. You've got an opportunity here, haven't you? Because Charlie...
Well, Charlie did amazingly well on Tuesday, Wednesday, whenever it was. I've lost track of all the days. Got 21 points earlier this week, which is a record score. So he's going to be in the final. You could get into the final tomorrow. And if you win tomorrow, you could pick 22 by Taylor Swift.
I definitely could. That's such a good option. On your 22nd birthday. So let's see how it pans out. We have a load of questions about stuff that happened yesterday. And 21, as I said, is your score to beat. Now that is... Were you listening to Charlie earlier this week? I was, yeah. Unbelievable, wasn't it? He was so fast. Yeah. It was ridiculous. So he's doing his A-levels this year. So he's clearly in sort of revision mode. And you could tell because he'd picked all the right bits earlier.
So let's see how you get on. Do we have some dingers? There we go. Let's go, Emily. 90 seconds. Your time starts when you give me your first answer. Question number one. Tate McRae kicked off her Miss Possessive tour in Portugal. But what music festival will she play in Liverpool this month?
Big weekend. Yes. Arsenal played Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Men's Champions League, but who won the match? PSG. They did. The conclave started yesterday in the Vatican, but what are the Cardinals currently selecting? A new Pope or a new host of This Morning? Pope. It is Pope. Timothee Chalamet made his red carpet debut with his reality star girlfriend, but what's her name?
Kylie Jenner. It is Kylie Jenner, yes. It was the third day of International Donkey Week. But what would a well-travelled donkey sound like? Very good. Two points for that. Walter Goggins was in a teaser for Saturday Night Live. But what TV show about a fancy hotel chain did he star in with Amy Lou Wood? I'm not sure. It's The White Lotus. Usher commented on the response to a photo of him feeding which short and sweet artist a cherry?
Sabrina Carpenter. Yes. Which British tennis player won her first round match at the Italian Open? Emma Raducane. Correct. We talked about an SQA Nat 5 exam question that was based on which artist famous for her Ears tour? Taylor Swift. Yes. We did an Everyone's Rubbish after producer Henry's dad did what at a wedding? Set his speech on fire or scratched his bum with a cake fork? Scratched his bum with a cake fork. No, he set his speech on fire. Which singer of Flowers and Wrecking Ball shared a teaser for her new song More To Lose?
Miley Cyrus. Yes. It was National Cosmopolitan Day. Name me any other cocktail. Mojito. Yes. Blue Ivy gave a thumbs up to a fan while performing at her mum's Cowboy Carter concert, but who's her mum? Beyonce. Correct. And it was Mr Beast's birthday yesterday. Happy birthday, Mr Beast. Say something that rhymes with beast.
East. Yes. And there we go with your questions. Was it enough to get into the final? I'm not sure. Heather got 14 yesterday. Ebony got 16 on Monday. And afraid not, Emily. Afraid not. It's all right. It was 13. So a good score, but because such a high scoring week, the lowest score of the week. But we had a nice time, didn't we?
We did, yeah. And, yeah, the speech on fire thing, that was on the show yesterday. Henry's dad was doing a speech for his sister and lit his speech on a tea light by accident.
Well, it can happen, can't it? Well, yes, not often, but it definitely can happen. Emily, thanks so much for being on today. Good luck with the job hunt and everything. And huge congratulations on starting an amazing job. You'll have a great time. Thank you. And the quiz final is set for tomorrow. It will be Ebony from Monday and Charlie with 21 points from Tuesday. That is going to be a great final. Do not miss it.
And from the quiz to all the latest things. BBC Radio 1. Let's get you up to date with all the latest things. So let's talk about Walton Goggins, shall we? He was in The White Lotus. He starred opposite Amy Lewood in that latest series. Big, big show, The White Lotus, and it's murderous.
It's also incredibly camp. It's sort of darkly funny at times. Jennifer Coolidge with the famous... Please, these gays, they're trying to murder me. That's from that show, from series two. And there's a lot of tension in the show. It's like a bit of a whodunit and all the rest of it. So what they did is they did a joke about that on Saturday Night Live, which Walton Goggins is one of the guest hosts this weekend.
So, Marcelo from the show is doing a little promo with Walton, and this happens. Yo! How are you, bro? You excited to host? So excited, man. You know, it's the last show before the season finale. That's right. Yeah, I'm just super curious to see how the whole thing's gonna end, you know? What do you mean? Who's gonna die? Okay, it's not that. It's not that, is it, Walton? It's not that kind of show, man. It's SNL. You know what I mean? No one's gonna die. Right. No one's gonna die. Listen, man, I think you're a nice guy. We're gonna have a great week, but...
You're acting a little bit... Oh no!
So it's going to be a whodunit on the season finale of Saturday Night Live. Very funny. And next we go to music news. Lola Young has shared a clip of a new single called One Thing. Here it is. Oh, hi. I want to take you on a little ride. I want to make you feel so nice. I want to make you feel appreciated. So that's out next Friday. She's playing Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool. Brand new Mighty Cyrus music coming tomorrow. This is called More To Lose. I knew someday that one would happen.
Oh, it's Sad Miley. We've got a new Sad Miley song tomorrow. We'll give that a play tomorrow morning. And finally, C-MAT was on the new music show with Jack Saunders last night. We love C-MAT.
She's an amazing musician, really funny as well. It was a great chat between her and Jack. New hottest record from her is called Take a Sexy Picture of Me. And they talked about the last time C-MAT was on the show with Jack Saunders and she was mentioning her biggest musical influences and the people she listens to and is inspired by.
We've got one more voice note from someone.
And this is in reference to running planning. Amazing. Wow. Wow. Well, big up, man. Big up, CMAT. And yeah, keep doing your thing. Keep doing your thing. I'm so excited to properly sit with your music. And now you're on my radar. Now I know of your name. Yeah, I'm excited to dive into your music and your creativity. But keep doing your thing. That's CMAT screaming in the background. She dropped to the floor. No, I can't do that.
Very nice moment on Jack Saunders' show last night. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. With Greg James. There you go. That's today's breakfast show. I think we all need to go and just have a bit of alone time. Just cool ourselves off. And we'll be back tomorrow with a big old Friday show. So come back then. Goodbye. Radio One's All Day Breakfast.
