BBC Radio 1 Radio 1's All Day Breakfast with Greg James Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. Today we had a brilliant Everyone's Rubbish courtesy of producer Henry's family. We're going to get into that very shortly. We've got a quiz, very difficult to follow yesterday's yesterday's quiz, so Heather tried her best this morning.
We also did all the latest things and didn't try and give away big weekend tickets today. What we did do was we wanted to search for someone who's just done an exam because there was something exciting about the exam yesterday. All right, then. Good morning. Welcome to Wednesday. I want to get straight into this. I need your help.
Something happened yesterday and we need someone to tell us all about it. Something very much in our wheelhouse. A big pop moment in a quiz. Sort of a quiz. Apparently, in the SQA Nat 5 English exam in Scotland. Very specific. Big, big specific shout out. No other radio show in the world is starting off with an SQA Nat 5 English exam shout out.
In Scotland, there was a Taylor Swift question in the exam and people are losing their minds. Were you in that exam? Did you answer that question? Did you freak out? Tell me all about it, please. Come on. We had a load of messages yesterday, loads over the last few weeks saying, I'm advising, I've got exams coming, I'm panicking. I need you now.
So once again, that's a shout out for the SQA Nat 5 Inish exam. In Scotland, there was a Taylor Swift question. What the hell was the question? How did you answer it? And welcome to Wednesday's Radio 1 Breakfast Show. It's nice when they do that, isn't it? It's nice when they actually think about their audience, the people who set exam questions.
And then, as if by magic, Jamie appeared an hour and ten minutes later. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James.
Jamie, good morning. Good morning. Welcome to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. So you sat this exam yesterday? Yes, that's right. Okay, so tell me all about it. What did you... Tell us what the exam was, what sort of English exam it was and why this question came up. So it was RUAE, which is Reading, Understanding, Analysis and Evaluation.
So you're given a piece of text which you have to read and then you have to answer a bunch of questions on it. So it's a bit like comprehension. Oh, right. Okay, yeah, I get you. So what was the piece of writing? So it was about this author who had said that he had really struggled to write and that he was really quite self-critical and, you know, he was...
lacking inspiration that his daughter introduced him to Taylor Swift's music and suddenly he felt really inspired by her because of her lyricism kind of thing and her amazing voice.
And what did you think? Was it one of the questions where you could pick? Was there sort of like an A and a B option? Or did everyone have to do that one? Everyone had to do it, yeah. That's amazing. To get onto an exam question, that's huge levels of cultural cut through, isn't it? Yeah. Are you a Taylor Swift fan? Yes, I am. Okay, so you would have been rubbing your hands together as you saw that question. You thought, yeah, I can do this. Yeah, I was. I was pretty happy. Do you think you nailed it?
I think I know a bit, yeah. That's good. Okay, so you answered the question. How many points was it worth? God, I think it was out of, I'm not sure if I'm going to say this, I think it's out of 40, but I'm not completely sure. Okay, great. So quite a few marks on that question, which is good. So tell us about the, because obviously you're deep in exams at the minute. Are you 15, Jamie? Yeah.
I've just turned 16, actually, a couple of months ago. Well, happy birthday for a couple of months ago. Thank you. So you're 16, you're deep in exams at the minute. How many have you done? I've done my chemistry and English exam. I've still got quite a couple to go until I'm finished, though. Okay.
And what's the buzz like at the end of an exam, like a Taylor Swift exam? What was it like? Because everyone always sort of talks about the questions or compares the answers or goes, oh, my God, that was so hard. Oh, my God. Oh, the wrong stuff. I can't believe it. And there's always the really smart person that goes, oh, I think I've completely messed up. And then they get top marks. So, yeah, what was it like afterwards yesterday? Well,
Well, I think everyone thought that I'm the SQA had been really generous because when everyone walked out of that exam, everyone seemed to be quite pleased with themselves, you know? A lot of people were surprised that it was on Taylor Swift. A lot of people thought it was going to be wicked. So, like, there was quite a big buzz about, like, of course, you had the Swifties who were really happy about, like, having to do that. And then I think everyone was just basically quite happy with it in general.
Well, it's nice because so often at exams you just go, I have no idea what I did. That was really all the stuff I didn't revise. But actually, one of the good things about all of us having brain rot, Jamie, is that if you get a pop quiz on Taylor Swift, you're probably going to be okay with it because that's the only stuff we consume sometimes.
so at least we know. Yeah. I guess, you know what? Wicked will probably be next year because Taylor Swift was kind of last summer that era's tour and all that. So I reckon next year will be Wicked. That will be the top tip for the next... Maybe, maybe, yeah. I could see that.
Look, thanks so much for being on this morning. Let's celebrate that exam. Did anyone play Taylor Swift after the exam, by the way, when everyone was huddling outside the exam room? Nobody played it on their phones, but I know a lot of people posted it on their stories with the song which was mentioned in the passage. And what was that song? The song was All Too Well. Jamie, thanks so much for being on today. Good luck with the rest of the exams. Thank you. What's next up? What's the next one? My next one's math.
I'm dreading it, yeah. Well, good luck for that and we'll catch up soon. Have a good one. Thank you very much. Cheers. Very nice, very satisfying. And also, what a lovely young man. Time now for yesterday's quiz. Really good quiz this week. The four individuals, their solo quizzes this week. We thought we'd do a solo quiz.
They don't know each other, but they're all either in education or work in education. Charlie yesterday is about to do his A-levels. It's a lovely spread. 21 points from Charlie yesterday. And Heather, on the other side of it, is a teacher. Heather, good morning. Good morning. Welcome to the Radio On Breakfast show. What's your subject, Heather? I teach chemistry. Okay, so you can't help me out with this English question.
No, but I'll definitely be asking a few questions about it today. So do you think that some of the kids in your school would have been sitting that GCSE? Yeah, they would have sat them out for it yesterday. Oh my God, so some of them will have answered the Taylor Swift question? Yeah. Okay, if you could do some reconnaissance later, that would be really helpful. But welcome to The Breakfast Show. And my God, Charlie was good yesterday, wasn't he?
Yeah, I know. I don't really want to follow that, to be honest. Yeah, well, he was... So he's 18, about to do his A-levels, and he is a star student so far. 21 points, record score on the quiz. A couple of people have said that I should give you a point...
Just to give you a start. I don't think we need to do that, Heather. Maybe a pity point at the end. We'll see how we go. You're excited about the quiz. Do you get to listen normally? Is this your time to get up routine-wise? Yeah, listen most mornings. Thank you for being on this morning. Let's talk about the Greenland trip. What happened there?
It snowed, so we couldn't fly the helicopter out because it snowed in Greenland. That was pretty much it, yeah. And was this a school trip? Yeah, it was a school trip that we went on. It was like 2022, 23 maybe. Yeah, and like, because we'd obviously got there fine, well, kind of fine, and then
We'd done our expedition and then it snowed so we could get back out. Quite, kind of dreamy really, in a way. I mean, terrifying for a bit, but was it three weeks you were stuck there? Yeah, a long time with no toilet. With no toilet? Not a proper flushing one, no. And how many kids?
There was 20. Oh, my God. And how many panicky parents were calling you every single day? Were they pretty chilled about it? No, they were pretty panicky, yeah, I think. I was going to say, it does feel like sort of national news level type thing. But I bet it was kind of a nice bonding experience, no? Yeah, it was. It was bonding, for sure. Yes, she lied. OK, here we go then. 90 seconds on the clock. Do we have some dingers?
We should have some dingers. Yes, we do. Okay, 90 seconds. 21 is your score to beat. Here we go with question number one. Which singer of Just For Me and Boys Are Liar was on The Breakfast Show yesterday doing some quizzes with the governess? Pink Pantherette. Yes. A new trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was released. But is that game about cars or bicycles? Cars. It is. It was the second day of National Hedgehog Awareness Week. Please make a noise like a hedgehog who wants your attention.
Very good. Two points for that. Which What Was That singer teased her tour for her new album Virgin? Billie Eilish? No, it's Lorde. Lorde. Barcelona played Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League, but who won the match? Inter Milan. They did. Joss Butler played for the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. What might I bring if I was your butler, though? A cup of tea? Yeah, whatever you want, really. Which singer of Seventeen Going Under teased new music video for his song Little Bit Closer?
Sam Sander. Correct. A poster was released for Pedro Pascal's new movie, Materialists. But which HBO series is he starring with Bella Ramsey? No idea. It's The Last of Us. Which singer of Flowers and We Can't Stop held an event for her upcoming single in New York? Miley Cyrus. Yes. We talked about French oral lessons on the show yesterday. Please say something nice to me in French. Bonjour. Yeah, oui, bonjour. It was Tommy Fury's birthday, but on which reality dating show did he meet Molly Maye?
Love Island. Yes. Which singer of Water and Push To Start teased a new single called Bliss on her socials? No idea. It was Tyler. It was National Tourism Day. Name somewhere you might go on a trip, maybe for three weeks. Greenwood. Yes. It was Jake Bon Jovi's birthday yesterday. His wife called him on the phone when she was a guest on this breakfast show. But who is his wife? She's in Stranger Things. Oh, Millie Bobby Brown? Yes. And Charlie scored 21 points on the quiz. But what is 2 plus 1?
Three. Yes. Very good. A couple of wrong answers. It's not going to be 21, but it's definitely not a disgrace, Heather. Yeah. The 18-year-old got me. 13 points today. Yeah. That's okay. I mean, Charlie was so prepped yesterday. But look, you teach some 18-year-olds, I'm sure, so I bet you'd be very impressed with that performance, wouldn't you, really? Oh, yeah, extremely, yeah. In all of your lessons. Yeah.
What can we do here? So 13 points. Should we give you a pity point? What's your favourite element on the periodic table? Sodium. Is it? Why sodium? Because it's symbols now. It's great. Nah. Heather, thank you for being on. Have a great day. And we probably won't, well, we won't be seeing you in the final, but we've really enjoyed having you on. And I'm pleased that we could get you on as a solo quizzer. Thanks so much. Heather, have a good day.
Okay, thanks, you too. Next up, it's time for... I think everyone's rubbish.
It's Wednesday's Radio 1 Breakfast Show. This is Greg James and that is producer Henry. Hi, Henry. Hello. For some reason, Henry has booked his family. Our whole group chatters here. Your dad's on the line. Hi, Adrian. Hi, Greg. And your sister Alice is on the line. Hi, Alice. Hello. What are you playing at? Well, Alice recently got married to a very nice man called Charlie. And obviously dad did a lovely speech, but there was a slight incident there.
during the speech. Oh, this is the Everyone's Rubbish? Yes. Oh, fantastic. Adrian, nice to speak to you again. We hung out a bit at Henry's birthday. Well, thank you very much. And Alice, hi, are you on honeymoon? I am on honeymoon. We're currently in the Thailand jungle. How lovely. Are you having a nice time? We're having a wonderful time in torrential rain. Jungles can do that, can't they? Yeah, a little bit. I'm waiting for the elephants. Have you seen any elephants yet? We have. We've touched the trunks. Lovely.
I'm going to resist some horrible honeymoon jokes there. No, I'm not. That's what honeymoons are for. There you go. Okay. This surely wasn't the reason you were booked on to talk about sex life. So what on earth happened? What's the everyone's rubbish? You go for it, Chad. I'll go for it. She's busy. Right. I was doing my speech bit.
The initial bit I was reading from my script, in my little bubble, I thought it was going great. I was on fire. But unfortunately, so was my script. You were on fire? Yes. Exactly. I set my notes on fire. Oh!
After I'd done my reading bit, I thought I would use props. Oh, God. Dad's big box. I got my big box onto the table in front of me, but in doing so, inadvertently...
moved one of the tea lights that was on the table. My script was on fire. Yeah, I need to just stop you here a second, Adrian. Henry, everything about you makes sense. I get it. So you've got your hand in your big box, you're on fire. Were people shouting like...
Adrian, you're on fire. You're like, yeah, I'm loving this. Adrian, you're on fire. Yeah, yeah, I know the jokes are good on there. No, you're literally ablaze. My bridesmaids were sat right directly in front of me. She was just going, oh, oh, fire. And she was like blowing at it, but it was just kind of carrying on and making it work. Yeah, she's giving the flames oxygen. We required the intervention then of the fire brigade in the form of allicin.
my lovely wife. So shall I hand over to Alison, who can tell you what she did? Oh, get the whole family on, yeah. Yeah, get the whole family on. Yeah, OK. Yes, I was the fireman. I just saw flames coming up behind the box, and so I just poured a whole jug of water on it. And then we realised that he hadn't made his toast to the bride and groom, and I was whispering to...
so that nobody heard me remind him. So that was why he didn't do the toast, because your speech had been burnt. OK, I'm going to pass back anyway now. This is actually... Alison, nice to chat to you. This is amazing. What an unbelievably mad family. OK, so, Alison, at this point, I must ask you, what on earth were you thinking? I think me and Charlie probably didn't expect anything less from Dad. One to remember, wedding of the century, it really went down in flames. It really did.
Adrian, Alice, thank you so much. Alice, we'll let you get back to your rainy honeymoon. Thank you. Alice, enjoy the rest of your honeymoon. Thank you. Give my regards to the trunk and Adrian, speak to you soon. Yeah, you too. Cheers, it's been fun. Radio One's All Day Breakfast with Great James. We're celebrating being rubbish at a wedding.
A wedding related everyone's rubbish. Thanks to producer Henry's family who are entirely mad and very rubbish at his sister Alice's wedding lots of long ago. Henry's dad was doing the speech and his napkin caught on fire. Oh no, his notes kept caught on fire. And he was ablaze. It was a really good one. And a lot of you are rightly very into Henry's family.
Bethany, good morning. Good morning. Come on then, have you got a good Everyone's Rubbish wedding edition for us? Yeah, I got married last year and my uncle is a pastor at church and he was doing our wedding for us and when he was doing the vows, he said to my husband, do you take Beth to be your lawful bedded wife instead of wedders? LAUGHTER
And everyone erupted in laughter. All the nerves were gone. It made the day so good. Sometimes you need a bit of that, don't you? Sometimes you need something silly to break everyone out of the formalities because everyone turns very, very serious and formal at a wedding. That's good. Absolutely, yeah. And in a way, depending on your beliefs, that can be applicable. Lawfully wedded and lawfully bedded as well. He's a very Christian man, so to hear that from his mouth is just...
Yeah, well, he sort of betrayed himself there, hasn't he? Or maybe he's not. He's being his true self. He's just saying what he thinks. Well, now you're lawfully bedded. You can get on with it. Good. Bethany, congratulations on being wedded and bedded and have a great day. Thanks. Actually, do you know what? Stay there a second, Bethany, because Paul's got a similar one. Have a listen to this. On my first wedding, my then wife said...
My awful wedded husband, instead of my lawful wedded husband, needs to say the wedding didn't last. There you go. So it's not just you. We've got variations on a theme there, Bethany. It's not lawfully bedded, but awful wedded. I think mine's better. Yeah, I think so. Things could be a lot worse always. There's always someone worse off than you. You see, that's what we celebrate on Everyone's Rubbish, isn't it? Absolutely. Bethany, have a great day. And you, bye. Great voice notes coming in as well. Nicole?
What's he saying? Relating to my daughter, he was about two at the time when my brother and sister-in-law got married. I was a bridesmaid and she was a beautiful flower girl, did not want to walk down the aisle, had to be carried. And so she had a little wee in the middle of the ceremony, which went all over the front of my bridesmaid's dress. Oh, God. Hannah, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Welcome to The Breakfast Show. Welcome to Everyone's Rubbish Wedding Edition. So what have you got for us?
So we were all at the wedding venue waiting for my sisters to turn up, who are my bridesmaids. I looked on Find My Friends and I could see my sister heading towards the hospital. And it turns out that my dad had left my other sister's car in gear and she went to turn it on and it shot forward and ran over my chief bridesmaid. She is fine. She came down the aisle in crutches and flip-flops, which is not quite what she wanted. She wanted her nice shoes she'd bought, but yeah.
That's what happened. Also, look, not to be mean, but she's trying to upstage you there. I know. Yes, she did. She did. And all the wedding photos do show that too. Of course. And that's the big story from your wedding as well. Much like Henry's sister's dad who, you know, set fire to himself by accident. That's the story that everyone remembers. Not the beautiful day, but you remember the bridesmaid got run over. Yeah. Is she prone to sort of calamity like that?
If anything is going to go wrong, it will be to her. So, yeah. Chaos follows certain people around. It just does. Yeah, Hannah, thank you very much. And I'm sort of interested in seeing some of the photos of her with crutches and flip-flops and a beautiful dress. Have a good day. Thanks for being on. Have a good day. Pete's next. The father of the bride stood up and gave a speech. And he was a lovely man, really, really lovely man, but a little bit doddery. And he stood up at the head table and said,
to give a speech to the room and as he was talking he started taking a walk around, you know, let's do it, go for a little walk while I'm holding my notes and my microphone. Oh no, he's gone off piste. It's always risky, isn't it? Because you get, you get a little, you get, if you get an early laugh...
then you can get overconfident. If you get an early laugh, so just be careful what you laugh at if you're the congregation, because it can encourage bad behaviour. Started to walk along, walked past one table, two tables, and he got to a table at the far end of the room, at which point he said, now, onto, and then he said the groom's name. And he put his hand on a guy's shoulder, a guy who looked a little bit like the groom, but wasn't the groom, was...
Oh, no, the worst. Here's another one. Rachel in Norwich says, Greg, my dad toasted us at the end by calling us the wrong name. Instead of Barton, he said, congratulations, Mr and Mrs Barker. He'd been practising with the wrong name for weeks. And this one from...
Well, it's been kept anonymous. I run a wedding venue and we accidentally interrupted a bride's entrance music with Stacey's mom because of a shared Spotify account being used by somebody off-site. Oh my God. Radio One Breakfast. Some amazing everyone's rubbish wedding stories today. Greg, I have been a wedding DJ for seven years.
And two years ago, I decided to upgrade my laptop the day of a wedding. And when I hit play on the first dance, it played and then stopped and then played and then stopped and then played and then stopped. Oh, the worst. The worst. High pressure DJ gigs. The worst ones.
Sophie, what's yours at your wedding? I had a second dress to get into in the evening. All right, Gaga. I specifically bought some Spanx to wear so you can see the line, but I forgot them. So my poor bridesmaid kindly offered to take her, basically take her pants off and give them to me. So she had to be basically bare for the wedding.
For the rest of the evening. I do love the unglamorous behind the scenes of a wedding. I really like that. Take your spanks off. Get your pants off now. I need them. And then you walk out all demure. Give me your pants now. What else we got? Voice notes here. I lost my engagement ring during the ceremony. It came off my finger and went in between the floorboards of the pavilion that we were standing on.
Which led to my brother, dad and quite a few other men from the wedding out in the rain with power tools taking up the floor. Oh, I bet they'll love that. I bet the blokes will love that. When they loosen the tie, get the jacket off, roll up the sleeves. Oh yeah, look. Has anyone got a drill? We can get this. Blokes love to be a hero in situations like that. Yeah, don't worry, we can get your ring back, darling.
It reminds me, I actually forgot at the first wedding I ever went to, which was as a proper grown-up. I must have been sort of early, mid-twenties or something. And I was best man for my mate Sam. And I did the thing. I did the thing where I left the ring in the hotel. And I dropped everyone off at the...
at the venue. And you know when you realise you've done something so stupid but you don't even vocalise it, it's just in your head because you can't bear to say it to anyone. I went, can everyone, alright you get out, I've just got to, I'll be ten minutes. And they went, what? I went, nothing. I definitely didn't forget the ring!
One of my favourite Everyone's Rubbish things we've ever done. Henry, I love your family. They're quite good, aren't they? Great fun. They've got a good sense of humour. They're witty. Great vibes. Yeah, really good.
Just good, clear characters. I particularly enjoyed Mum in the background, clearly wanting her moment on the radio. Hovering around. Can I speak? Let me speak. Let me say something to him. Let me speak. We realised that he hadn't made his toast to the bride and groom. No. And I was whispering so that nobody heard me remind him. So that was why he didn't do the toast, because your speech had been burnt. LAUGHTER
His speech had been burnt. We're trying to locate the footage at the moment. Oh, good. Good, good, good. Let us know. Next up, all the latest things. Susanna, the first one or the second one? Ooh, the first one. The first one. No, the second one. Oh, that was the second one. Joking, joking. Why are we shouting? Radio One Breakfast. All the latest things. And let's do this. Let's get you up to date with everything. Big video game news to begin with.
It's going to be ages until it comes out. It's going to be next May, but GTA 6 is coming at some point. Do we believe May? I mean, they keep pushing it back. I still don't think this video game will ever come out, but they've released another trailer. I'm here for Lucia Caminos. She's supposed to be getting out. What's your name? Jason Duvall. I think you heard before. You might have. Hey. Hey.
Oh my God, I'm excited. I'm so excited. I do not consider myself a gamer. Real gamers would scoff at me. GTA is, that's my game. That is the thing. I have been obsessed forever, since the first ever edition of it. The three games, Gold Line, the N64, Brian Lurie Cricket, GTA. Thanks very much. That's heaven for me.
So that's coming. It's coming soon-ish. Well, next May. But we've been given a little bit of a hint about the storyline. We've seen all the... I mean, basically, if you see the trailer, you've seen the good stuff. You know that they're not going to mess this up. Next up, Radio 1's Dance Weekend in Ibiza is back. Happening in August. You can get tickets online. It's always an amazing weekend.
There's been an exciting announcement. Here's Radio 1's Jaguar to tell us more. The Radio 1 Dance and Introducing Ibiza talent search is back and we are taking two new DJs to Ibiza. Yes, love Jag. And if you're an upcoming DJ and producer, then Radio 1 Dance and BBC Introducing could take you to Ibiza. Go to the BBC Introducing website to find out more.
We'd love to have you as part of it. This could be the start of something very special for your life. It could change your career. So go to the BBC Introducing website if you're a talented DJ and producer and you never know, you could be on that line-up. And if you can't be arsed with all that and just want to be out there, then you can go out there and get some tickets. Great fun. Some music news. New music from Tyler has been announced. A new song called Bliss sounds really good. Make me...
So she was at the Met Gala a couple of nights ago, posted a clip of her amazing outfit and that song alongside it. So that's coming soon. Also just happened, as the show's been on air, Stormzy has released a new song. The song's called Sorry Rach, and I'm also sorry to all Rachels and basically everyone because we can't play it right now because we haven't got a clean version of it. But what I can play you is this bit from it.
which made all of our ears prick up in the studio.
Listen to Jeremiah, as in our Jeremiah, as in Jeremiah Asayama. This is Jerry's reaction to the shout-out. Yes! Are you listening, baby? Is this our Jerry? Ooh! What? I'm calling him. Hang on. Let's call Jerry. Because why is he... What's he doing here? BEEP
Derek! Yo. You're live.
Okay, thank you for warning me. What's the Stormzy thing? I don't know if it's the Jeremiah in the Bible or does he mean the Jeremiah that he loves as well? I mean, we are both God's child. You know, me and Stormzy do love a bit of church. So I think it's me. It could be Jeremiah in the Bible. I don't know, but I'm taking it as me. I think claim it. The only face that my answer is to and I are. I'm God's son. You should have listened to Jeremiah. Jeremiah!
Hang on. Hang on, wait, wait, wait. I'm going to do some journalistic digging here. How well do you know Stormzy? On a scale of one to ten? Yeah. I'd say eight. Ten being the most? Yeah, I'd say seven and a half, eight. This is about you then. Or can we say it's not not about you?
I don't know. I'm going to claim it. I don't care anyway. Message him and check. Or is that not cool? No, who cares? Hey Stormzy, quick DM. Is this song about me? Do it. I think you should and we should find out the answer at one o'clock today. Yeah, I mean, who knows? Hey, you know what? But sometimes if I know it's not about me, I'm going to be upset now. So maybe just keep it.
Mysterious. Yeah. Yes! Are you listening, baby? Are you listening? He'll be listening. We'll all be listening at one o'clock today. Listen to Jeremiah today from one. Jerry, thank you. Love you. Are you going to go to Paris, by the way? Um... No. No. We can't start that again. Yeah, no. No.
All right. Speak to you later. Thanks for picking up. As always. And remember, listen to Jeremiah and Matt Edmondson today from 1 o'clock. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. I like a mystery. I sort of want to get to the bottom of that, you know. Also today, we did some more of those very funny bits that you learn in language lessons, but like the only thing you learn. BBC Radio 1. Now, I'd like to take you en France. France.
Oral exam season. Yesterday after nine o'clock, we were talking about the one line that has stuck with you from your language lessons. So these two TikTokers, Cole and Kian, were imagining what it's like to have a conversation with the quite useless things you learn in language lessons sometimes. Hello, how are you? I am good, and you? I am good.
I live in a house with my brother and my parents. And you? I have a dog. And you? No, but I have a green pen and a ruler in my pencil case. That's good to know. Good facts about someone. Imagine that was a first date. MUSIC PLAYS
We realised that we've forgotten most of the useful stuff but have remembered things like... The only conversational German I remember is... Which means I've eaten all my Easter eggs, which you can only use that once or twice a year maybe. LAUGHTER
I mentioned this yesterday, but the thing I remember and think about it pretty much every year when anyone's doing exams is the distorted speaker with the... What? Can you do that? Can you play it again? Can you play it again, please, miss? What?
Some really good ones came in on voice note yesterday. And if it's not on first left, I don't know where it is. Thanks, Rob. The only part of conversational German that I remember is... Which is, when's the next train to Munich? When is the next train to Munich? I always need to know. Shut your mouth. Yeah, that's good.
Also, my phrase was from Spanish class and it was, ¿Dónde está mi padre? Mi padre está en el cuarto de baño leyendo el periódico, which is, where is my father? He is in the bathroom reading the paper. To be fair, that's often what my dad was doing on holiday. I'm going to go to the bathroom.
Je adore la poulet à pomme de frites, les chambres. My name is Richard, live in Belper. I like chicken and chips in my bedroom. Richard is a man of simple pleasures. He likes chicken and chips in his bedroom. And who can blame him? There you go. That's the end of today's breakfast show. Thanks very much for listening. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll be back with more fun stuff tomorrow. See you then. Bye.

I'm Zing Singh. And I'm Simon Jack. And together we host Good Bad Billionaire. The podcast exploring the lives of some of the world's richest people. In the new season, we're setting our sights on some big names. Yep, LeBron James and Martha Stewart, to name just a few. And as always, Simon and I are trying to decide whether we think they're good, bad or just another billionaire. That's Good Bad Billionaire from the BBC World Service. Listen now wherever you get your BBC podcasts.
