Welcome to It Takes Energy, presented by Energy Transfer, where we talk all things oil and natural gas. Oil and gas drive our economy, ensure our country's security, and open pathways to brighter futures. Every day, more oil and natural gas than you can imagine moves across the U.S. through 2.5 million miles of underground pipelines, hundreds of rail cars, and countless tanker trucks to meet the needs of our country.

But did you know that pipelines are 40 times safer than rail and truck according to government statistics? Companies like ours use state-of-the-art satellites and sophisticated control centers to monitor pipelines 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We're dedicated to getting you the energy you need safely and reliably.

Look around and you'll see the essential role oil and gas plays in our modern lives. Our world needs oil and gas and people rely on us to deliver it. To learn more, visit ittakesenergy.com. There was a time when every dim sky returned to a vibrant dawn. When the soft clouds parted like curtains and uncovered new pathways to hidden wonders and cherished friends.

It was a time of rebirth. It was spring. This spring at Biltmore. Plan your visit today to experience Tutankhamen, his tomb and his treasures, and Biltmore in full bloom.

BBC Radio 1. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast with Greg James. Hello and welcome to Monday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. This is Greg James and today we talked about, well, trying to claw an hour back from your life. Also, did you overdo it at the weekend because there was a little bit of sun? Plus, I got cross at some technology. We did a really good Everyone's Rubbish that morphed into something bigger, bigger than all of us.

And we got you up to date with all the latest things and had a really good fun person on the quiz. So all in all, a good broadcast, I would say. So let's crack on with the very first bit of the show. Good morning. Welcome to Monday. Hi Callum. Morning. Everything all right? Yeah, good. Thank you. Really good.

I think we need to all cancel one thing that would take an hour today to claim the hour back. Yes, we should. Cancel something. Yeah. Have you got a boring meeting today? An hour-long thing? Of course, none of your meetings are boring. No, but I'm sure I could find one. Yeah. Cancel just something. Yeah. I'm going to go home at 9.30. LAUGHTER

And then it's up to Ricky Melvin and Charlie to work out what happens after that because then someone maybe at the end of the day will suffer and do an extra hour. But you get your hour back. I'm cancelling that. 9.30 till 10. You're on your own. I'm sorry.

But everyone got carried away over the weekend, I think. Do you think? Yeah, because it was sunny. Oh, everyone thought it was summer. We thought it was hot, but actually it wasn't. Yeah, it's that way when it gets to about five and then you're suddenly freezing. Oh, I should have brought a card. Oh, and everyone was listening going, oh, we're not quite there, are we? Let's have a quizzo and here comes Jordan. Every day at 7.15 we do yesterday's quiz. A brand new team of people every Monday morning. Last week it was the...

A load of sisters. A brilliant, chaotic week last week. This week, it's a load of brothers. We start with Jordan. Good morning, Jordan. Good morning, Greg. Welcome back to Radio 1. We were just talking about your last appearance and it was a couple of summers ago. And what were you doing? Why were you on the radio?

So I was, well, I was actually on my way to the doctors and then I heard that Vicky Hawksworth was on a train during the giant DJ hunt. So I cancelled everything. I went straight to Swindon train station and I found Vicky Hawksworth. This was when we hid every single DJ and the giant DJ hunt was on. If you spotted a DJ, you could be the star of the show and you brought them to the radio. So you found Vicky Hawksworth and that was...

a huge part of the puzzle Jordan so you've that was a that was a real team effort that week wasn't it it was a mad one it was it was it was so much fun so tell us about you then what do you do and tell us the team this week

So I'm a kitchen fitter. We live in Swindon. It was supposed to be four brothers, but now it's three brothers and our cousin because our oldest brother, Brett, he lives in Vietnam and he's teaching. So he couldn't get the time off, unfortunately. I think that's a good enough excuse. Yeah, yeah. So, Jordan, you listen to the quiz most days. Do you do quite well? Every morning. OK. And are you a good quizzer?

I do all right when I'm not on the phone to you, but I'm a little bit more nervous this morning, so we'll see how I do. You've got a busy week ahead. How many kitchens can you fit in a week?

Well, last week, we done two last week, only small ones, and I tiled a couple of kitchens last week as well, so it was quite a busy week, actually. Well, I hope you've been keeping across all of popular culture as well to set you right for the quiz today. Of course, I was doing some revision last night. Great. 90 seconds on the clock. Do we have some dingers? Yes, we do. Here we go! The dinger boy. The dinger boy. The dinger boy.

Would you like to say hello to the Dinger boy? I would, that'd be wicked. Yeah, ask him a question that requires a yes or no answer. Did he play golf over the weekend? No, he's not much of a golfer. Wrong answer. We can ask him another question if you like. Did he get drunk over the weekend?

Yay! Always. Okay, 90 seconds. Your time starts when you give me your first answer. Question number one. Which Denial Is A River singer won billboards... Don't you? Yes, she did. Congratulations. Bournemouth played Man City in the FA Cup quarterfinal, but who won? Oh, Man City, boo. They did, boo. It was Pretzel Day yesterday. Name something else that's a bit salty.

Popcorn. Sydney Sweeney was spotted with Glenn Powell, but which TV show does she star in with Zendaya? No idea. Stranger Things. No, it's Euphoria. A criminal elephant broke down the gates to a home in India to steal some jackfruit. Give me your best impression of an evil elephant. Give me a fruit. I'm giving you three points for that straight out of the gates. Denise Welsh clarified that she's not done what? Overcooked her Sunday lunch or disappeared in a mysterious hot air balloon incident?

The Sunday lunch? No, it's the balloon thing. She hasn't disappeared. What day was Mother's Day? Yesterday, Sunday. It was Mother's Day was on Sunday. It was Simone Ashley's birthday, but which spicy period drama did she star in with Jonathan Bailey? No idea. It's Bridgerton. Crystal Palace played Arsenal in the Women's Super League, but who won the match 4-0? Arsenal. No, it was Palace. The new series of Race Across the World was teased yesterday, but which Radio 2 presenter won the last celebrity season?

Scott Mills? It was Scott Mills, yes. Usher opened his London residency. But what is Usher famous for doing on stage? Sweating profusely or eating three foot long sandwiches at once? It's got to be sweating. He's a sweater. Which Ginger singer is teasing his new single with pink balloons around the world? No idea. Come on, there's only one big famous Ginger singer. You know this. Oh, Ed Sheeran. Yes. Come on. And scientists revealed time travel is theoretically possible.

But if I travelled back to Egypt in 69 BC, who was Pharaoh? Was it Cleopatra or Cleosol? Cleopatra. It was Cleopatra. I'm glad you gave me options there. Yeah, and also we have a live VAR situation.

Arsenal beat Palace 4-0 and I'm sorry about that. I've got it in my notes here, 4-0. Right. Well, I'm going to give you a point for getting it right and a point because I was wrong. Oh, come on. Yeah, and I feel sad that I didn't believe in my own team. OK, good, good work.

Jordan, that means you got 14 points today. 14? Come on. It's really good. It was three for the elephant. It was one for my mistake. You did very, very well. Oh, I'm really happy with that. Really happy. That elephant was great. Can I just ask a technical question about it? Because I also like to do the elephant noise, but I only do it, I put my arm out as if I'm using a trunk. Did you do the same thing or was it just the noise? No, it was just the lips. Okay. Did it with the lips. Do it again for me.

Yeah, it's good. Elephant Brothers. We are Elephant Brothers.

You know what? I'm going to give you an extra point for being the elephant brother. That's 15. I've gone mad. 15 points on a Monday. But Jordan, we've loved chatting to you and look forward to the rest of the week. Okay. Thank you so much. Can I please do a quick shout out? If you can do it in three seconds, then yeah. No, I'll start the song again. Okay, so just to all my family, I love them all. And my auntie Lee, who got declared cancer free less than two weeks ago. We all love you so much. I'm stopping the song for that. That's incredible news. Auntie Lee, did you say? Yeah, my auntie Lee Lee.

A fanfare for Aunty Lele. She's cancer free. What a legend. That's your star listener today now. Tell her that. Yes, we love you, Lele. Jordan, have a great day. Thank you so much. Loved Jordan. Looking forward to the rest of the week this week. If he's anything to go by, it's going to be a good one. Let's now do Everyone's Rubbish and here comes Charlie.

The other day we were talking about the pilot who had to divert the plane because he'd forgotten his passport. Lord only knows how he got through customs. Maybe you just put a nice little, smart little hat on and you can get anywhere. But anyway, so this is what we thought we'd do today was a passport edition of Everyone's Rubbish. It's a great Everyone's Rubbish from that pilot. And Charlie's on. Hi, Charlie. Hi, Greg. Welcome to the passport edition of Everyone's Rubbish. What have you got for me? I missed my 21st birthday. Oh, no.

Oh no, did they celebrate without you? What's the scenario? Where were you heading? So my 21st birthday was fast approaching and the night before my 21st birthday, about 10 family members turned up at my house and they kind of just played it off as like a Chinese party.

But they all had big suitcases. And then I opened a card that my mum gave to me and it said, "Congratulations, like excitement, we're going on holiday for your 21st birthday." So they booked me a 10-day holiday to Berta Ventura. Amazing. The windy island. And we were all very excited, eight of our Chinese, and then it come to checking in. Everybody checked in fine.

I found my passport, looked at my passport and realised my passport had expired two weeks prior to the date that we were going away. So we got online. I had to do some like Googling and found out that they were doing this trial thing for a passport. It meant I would have had to make a trip to Swansea. Do you want to spend your 21st in Fuerteventura or Swansea?

Yeah, that was very much the question. But the rest of my family all took the flight and went to Virgil Ventura without me for my 21st birthday. You got to. I'm with the family. I do think you have to all go because you, I don't know, it's a great Ask the Nation. Maybe we should spin the everyone's rubbish into an Ask the Nation because I'm with the family because that's 10 flights, man. That's a lot of money being lost.

I mean, not even my partner would stay with me. Oh, that's a great twist. So your partner went with the family and left you on your own for your 21st birthday in Swansea? Yeah. We're scrapping everyone's rubbish. We're doing an Ask the Nation. This is brilliant, Charlie. The partner thing is, are you still with that person?

Yeah, yeah. We're happily married two years now. We've been together a long time, so yeah. Okay. So it was a... Wow. I guess a bonding situation for your partner and your family. Chuck them in at the deep end. Yeah.

It's a great one. I think it's a really fun Ask the Nation. We're scrapping everyone's rubbish. We've found a really great rubbish story, but within it, within it, it's like a game within a game. We've got a great dilemma here. Were you cross with your family that they went away? I didn't really know what to do, if I'm honest. I was quite taken back by it all. So where were you on your actual birthday day? I was sleeping on a sofa in Bristol. LAUGHTER

It's a memorable one. I mean, it's a good story now, isn't it? And I mean, from now on, for the rest of my life, I'll never forget when my passport renews because it's always on my 31st, 41st,

It's always on there. Yeah. So good. I love it. I love this as an Ask the Nation. What would you do in that situation? We're pivoting. We're nimble. And we're going to change tack. If that scenario happened to you, would you be annoyed if your family went away? But particularly your partner. The partner thing. You've got to stick together in those situations. But I guess if you're 21, you want to go for a nice free holiday with a family. I get it. That was it.

But let's see. And Charlie, we'll get you back on in a bit. Is that all right? Yeah, yeah. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. We started out with a really good everyone's rubbish with Charlie and his passport. Charlie, hello! Oh, we're calling him back. He'll pick up. He's a busy boy. He might not pick up. We'll let you know. Anyway, so if you missed it, Charlie's situation is that he missed...

He missed his 21st birthday, which was a trip abroad to Fuerteventura because his passport was out of date. However, the detail that he gave me was that his partner and his whole family still went on the holiday. Is that what you would do? Is that OK? We're asking. Ask the nation. The nation. I think it's a great ask the nation this. And you know what? It's very, very split.

Some great voice notes to begin with. I'm with the partner and the family. It's not my fault you didn't check your passport. Sort yourself out! Thank you, Abby. I was in Charlie's situation. I would be absolutely livid, especially if my partner abandoned me on my birthday. It's not abandoning. You've abandoned the family, if anything. Rachel, good morning.

Good morning. How are you? Pretty good, thank you. Charlie seems to have abandoned us now. Oh, no. That's what he does. That's what he does. And I really respect him for it. But he's given us an amazing Ask the Nation. Oh, I actually think he's back, actually. Charlie, hi. Hi, hi. We thought you'd abandoned us this time again.

No, no, no. Thanks for being back on this morning. So, yeah, it's got everyone talking. It's got a real split down the middle. We were just about to speak to Rachel. Hi again, Rachel. What do you want to say to Charlie? I'm really sorry, Charlie. I would have gone as well. It is entirely your responsibility to sort out your passport. I'm so sorry. Um...

My only thing was, it was a surprise. I didn't know. Yeah, true. That's true. That is true. So actually, Rachel, the family could argue that the family should have checked his passport secretly just to check that it was in date. Because these things, you know, if you're going to do the surprise properly, no point doing a surprise for a person that can't go on the surprise. But would you do the same thing, Rachel? I'm interested to know.

Yeah, I would have done. I mean, I'm really lucky I get on really well with my husband's family. So, yeah, I absolutely would have left him at the airport and gone and had a really lovely holiday without him. I would have felt really bad. I will say I would have felt bad. But, yeah...

I still would have got on the plane. I would still do the same thing with Bella and her family. If she forgot her passport or it was out of date, I would go on holiday with her family. I think, to be quite honest, we don't talk about it enough in the family situation, but I am the son that her dad never had. And I don't think he'd mind me saying that live on the radio. He does actually prefer hanging out with me than he does with Bella. Yeah.

Let's move on some more voice notes while I send a few text messages to the family WhatsApp group. Just check that's all okay. There's not even a debate about this. Of course you're going. It's his own fault for not checking his passport. I'll be like, see you later. Don't forget to feed the dog. Yeah, exactly. The whole reason he couldn't go wasn't his fault. It was because they didn't check his passport before they booked the flight. Yeah, it's a really good point, Charlie, isn't it? Yeah, that was my logic.

And yet they still went. Hannah! They all still went. Hello, you're on Ask the Nation. What do you want to say? Charlie, oh my goodness, your partner would be in the bin for me. Absolutely not.

I mean, first of all, your family is to blame 100%. If you're planning something, that is like, you know, top priorities when you're planning a holiday. Check the passports. It's a surprise you wouldn't have known. So absolutely, your family are to blame and your partner 1 million percent should never have abandoned you on your birthday as well.

Are you joking? No, he would not be my partner anymore whatsoever. Nope. Oh, I love you, Hannah. You're great. You've turned it into a proper sort of like, this is like proper talk radio now. We're shouting and everything. I love it. I did do debate clubbing school. Stuck with me all these years. You can tell this is really good. So you're very firmly in that this is a disgrace camp.

Absolutely. And like, I mean, your partner as well, you've just found out you're going on this amazing holiday and then you can't go. It's super sad. And your partner's like, OK, well, I'll see you when I get back. No, you're staying with me and making me happy and making me feel better about the fact that my family has messed this up royally for me. No chance he would not be getting on that plane. Not a chance. We actually spoke about this after I spoke to Greg Alley in the week. And literally the whole table just were like, it wasn't even up for debate.

Maybe it is odd.

I mean, is there something you don't know? Is there someone else in the family maybe your partner really likes? Hannah, don't be throwing out accusations like this. It's just a question, Greg. It's just a question. Now it has turned into LBC. This is the order. I'm just out here asking questions. I'm just asking questions. That's all I'm saying. I'm asking questions, James.

It's just a question, Charlie. You've got to have those questions with your partner. I definitely would be. I've loved today's Ask the Nation. Hannah, thanks so much. So really, we can say it's kind of split. But really, Hannah, you've really made your presence known on today's Ask the Nation. I think the answer is, if you do go...

then it's okay for you to be cross at them. I think that's probably the best way to do it. But it's a real big decision, isn't it, Hannah, as we found out? I don't think it's okay just to be cross with them. I think they should be out your life. Well, there you go, Charlie. Some relationship advice from Hannah this morning, unsolicited. Hannah, thanks for being on. Have a great day.

You too. And Charlie, thank you so much for letting us do an Everyone's Rubbish and turn it into an Ask the Nation. It's been really fun and I hope that we haven't caused too many rifts in the family. No, no. I think we're slightly over it now. It's all just laughs. Good. Have a good day. Thanks for being on The Breakfast Show. Cheers, Greg. So that changed into a really good Ask the Nation. And actually, I asked Ricky, Melvin and Charlie what they would do in a similar situation. BBC Radio.

Ricky Melbourne and Charlie, hello. Morning, Grip. Morning. Blissed out. I am blissed out today with this. Yeah, I love this song, man. However, we weren't blissed out earlier with Ask the Nation, and I wonder whether I'm going to create a rift here between the three of you. Oh, gosh. Here we go. Here's the scenario from today's Ask the Nation. So it was Charlie. It was his 21st birthday. Right. His family had arranged a surprise trip to Fuerteventura.

Okay? Nice. For his 21st. He had no idea about it at all. His partner was in on it. Got to the day.

His passport had expired. He eventually went to the holiday, three days late, missed his birthday. Oh, man. But all the family and his partner flew away. Leaving him to go to Swansea to sort out his passport on his own. That's cold. I'm just checking here. The three of you have got a trip planned. You've been looking forward to it for ages. It's all been booked off.

Shana Leary's been booked to cover the show. Right. Okay, it's all sorted. But one of you, one of you, it's a passport out of date, are the other two flying away? Would that happen? What's the Ricky Melvin and Charlie code of conduct? Whose passport? Yeah, whose passport is it? Oh, it's a good question. You need to specify it. I think this is easy. I think this is one of the easiest questions Greg's ever asked. Why don't you go? Of course. Right, so Ricky's going.

So if you're... All right, so let's ask. So if... He's shown his hand now. So Ricky would just go on holiday with the one who's remaining. If it was Ricky's birthday... Yes, and it's your birthday. Yeah, it's your birthday, Ricks. It's my birthday. It's your birthday. I don't know if me and Charlie would leave you. I wouldn't leave you. If it was your actual birthday. I might.

Yeah, if it's a birthday, that's different, actually. That does change it. It does change it. If it was just that your passport expired, then that's your own business. Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah, OK. If it was Charlie's birthday trip... Yeah. ..and Charlie's lost her passport... Yeah. ..are you and Melvin going on holiday together? No, I wouldn't leave Charlie. If it's their birthday, I'm not leaving them. But Ricky's going solo. I'm still going. I would make them go to the fair.

Okay, Ricky, how would you feel if you were the one whose passport expired and Melvin and Charlie went away together? For your birthday. I would expect this. Listen, we had a trip booked to go and see Usher in Paris about a year ago. And I couldn't go at the last moment because I had to go to the hospital for something that turned out to be quite minor. But at the time, it felt quite serious. They still went. They did still. They still went. So they did do it. It weren't his birthday, though. LAUGHTER

Ricky Melvin and Charlie, thank you for your honesty. Next up on The Breakfast Show podcast. Did you overdo it this weekend? Did you get carried away, did you? Because the sun came out. I want to try and find the person who got most carried away that the weather was decent-ish over the weekend. All right, yeah. Loads of people go to the beach and stuff and go for swims and all that. Well, well, hold that thought.

A lot of beach, a lot of barbecues, a lot of people trying to build a barbecue. I did a barbecue. Did you? Yeah, my friend. So you can't get away. What was it? Not even 15 degrees, really? It was my friend, my lovely friend Emma did it for my birthday and I had a giant coat on, but it was all good. It was very windy too. Also, we should say a massive happy birthday for Saturday to Callum Leslie. Thank you very much. And so you had to build a barbecue. Yeah. But, um...

I want to try and find the person who got carried away the most over the weekend. Producer Tom wore cotton trousers and got sunburned. That's good. That's good effort. I went for a drive with Bella's sister.

And it was my wife. And we went to find somewhere to go for a swim. We just found a lake and jumped into it. Wow. It was horrible. Quite cold? Awful. Yeah. It was the worst idea. But I got so carried away. You just thought, it's summer. I can do it. We had to jump a fence. We ran across a field, found a lake.

And then nearly froze to death. And then froze to death. Never to be found again. Yeah, be careful out there, guys. So it's not quite there yet, is what I'd say. I think it's fear. We're not quite there.

We're almost there, but you might have got carried away this weekend and thought, this is it. It's a long, hot summer. It starts here in March. Let me just tell you this. It doesn't. Wind your necks in. I'll wind mine in. Who got the most carried away? On the BBC Sounds app. On the radio. And ask your smart speaker to play Radio 1. This is Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. Hi, Polly, who's 13 today, listening on the way to school. Hope you have a good one.

I wonder if you got carried away yesterday, Polly, because it was sunny. You were like, oh, it's the summer. Is it? Tipper Trucker Chris says, me and my five-year-old daughter went to the Newcastle Trophy Parade on Saturday. It was absolutely freezing. Yeah, but what a day. It looked amazing. He says it was windy, cloudy, freezing, but the joy. Ant and Dec on a bus. That's enough. Ant and Dec hosting the whole thing.

Look, I saw nothing but those videos really over the weekend, so I hope you had a great celebration. Stuart in Bristol says, sounds like the answer to your question, who got carried away the most in the good-ish weather over the weekend was you, Greg, but I went to Western Supermare in a T-shirt and shorts. I had to run into a charity shop and buy a jumper. Yeah, that's the thing, isn't it? Jack the Field Agent says, I did myself a sexy car wash, Greg. My nipples left scratches in the paintwork, it was so cold. You see, we're not quite there yet, Jack. Oh, we're not quite there.

Good morning. Good morning, Greg. Welcome to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. What did you do at the weekend then? You got carried away because of the nice weather. Well, it looks nice, but it didn't feel nice, did it? Well, I mean, down in the southeast, it wasn't too bad, actually. I mean, I did get carried away. I did go to a well-known supermarket that has a club for the cards. And I bought everything in that shop that had Firepit on the label. And I had a massive barbecue for Mother's Day.

See, that's nice. Everything, summer's out, why not? And did it feel okay? But it was, is it not, it's a coat situation when the sun goes down, isn't it? Yeah, halfway through when the wind was blowing, it wasn't great. But when the wind stopped, it was lovely. Mm-hmm.

I really like that. That's such a nice summer image. You don't think about it much during the winter, but when you go to a supermarket and they've all got the fire bit on the logo, you go that, that, that, that, that. And you start to not trust anything that doesn't have a barbecue sticker on the front of it.

Absolutely, 100%. Like, the sausages are just a different level. Like, you can get normal sausages every other time of the year. The minute Firepit ones come out, they're just a completely different kettle of fish. And you do feel a bit weird about... Premium sausage. Well, I know they're sausages, but they don't say barbecue on them, so I'm not sure I can put them on the barbecue. Am I allowed? Do you want to ask your mum? Mum, can I put these up? Because they don't say barbecue on them. Can I put these sausages on the barbecue? Hey, look.

Jenny in Richmond did a similar thing. She says, I went to drink some rose in the sunshine in my lovely local and I was shivering under seven blankets and clutching the heater. This is it. We're almost there. It's someone actually... It's close. Yeah, who is it? Dave the Vet says, yeah, first barbecue of the, in inverted commas, summer yesterday, Saturday, 9pm, torchlight, coat on, but it had to be done. See, it's optimistic thinking. I like it. Vicky, are you there? Yeah.

I am, yeah. Good morning. Welcome to the regular show. Did you get carried away? What did you do? So I thought I'd be really daring and decided to put my washing out on the line. We've got a big washing line that goes across the entire garden. Oh, yeah. I heard my partner calling downstairs and said, oh, your pants are heading over the neighbour's fence and all the washing had kind of shifted down one side of the washing line and it...

We're not quite there yet. We're not quite there yet. Jack in Shrewsbury says a similar thing. There's a lot of washing line chat today. I didn't know this excited people so much. When you get to a certain age, you get excited by things like this. Well, Jack in Shrewsbury says, I got carried away, put the washing line out. I recently bought a new house and I'd never used one before. I was giddy with excitement. I kept going outside to check progress every five minutes. Well, you know what? Whatever brings you joy, Jack. I think that's absolutely fine. So have you retrieved your bloomers from next door? I have.

have yeah I also do the thing about checking the meat with my mum I always ring like 24 hours is it like sent out the freezer 24 hours can I use it can I use it yeah it hasn't got a barbecue thing on and it's not I don't know if it's defrosted yet but yeah this is it you never truly grow up I don't think that's maybe it Sam's in Cornwall and says I did my second half marathon in a week after having not done any ever I was inspired by Jamie Lang

Thanks, Dan. Have a good day. You still there? Yeah, still here. Take care, Greg. Have a good one. Cheers. Did you overdo it at the weekend? Did you get overexcited because it was a little bit sunny and a little bit warmer? And also the clock's going forward so light at evenings. And did you think, oh, it's summer. I can do summer things. I mentioned earlier that I did. I went in search for some water just to be like, it's summer. We can go for a swim. Found a lake, went in, went in.

I felt like I was about to die. Way, way too soon for all that carry on. Way too soon. I've just been sent a picture from Bella who was watching from the sidelines. She's not stupid. My face shows pure pain. Really, really bad idea. But you know, you've got to be optimistic with these things. Isn't that right, Mo? You've got to try it.

Absolutely, yes. Were you about to say absolutely? Because I don't mind an absolutely. That's okay. So what did you do? Did you get carried away?

Yeah, a little bit, maybe. I mean, it was quite nice weather, but we had the lounges out, the tanning oil, shorts, put a bikini on. Five minutes later, my best mate comes out in her fluffy pyjamas. She was like, nah, can't do this. No, no, no, no, no. It's too much. So you'd already oiled up and you were ready for it? Oh, yeah, yeah. We gave it a good shot, but no, it's not quite... We're not ready for that yet. Not there. If the sun goes in, Mo, if the sun goes in, it's a little chilly, isn't it? It is.

It was, yeah, but the slushy pyjamas, you know, that was fine. We got through it. Yeah, it's a little bit nips. You know, we've all got a little bit carried away, haven't we? That was Mo. What else have we got? Martin! Hello, Greg. Good morning. Welcome to the Radio and Breakfast Show. Did you get a bit carried away? I don't know. It was definitely nice enough for it. So I was gardening, doing some work in the garden around my sister-in-law's on Thursday,

shorts and t-shirts standard um but then it got a bit nicer so i was like thumbs out guns out whip the top off um and yeah my back is red raw itching all weekend oh you did get carried away is it a tops off situation at the minute maybe it is sort of tops i don't know producer tom were you were you tops off at the weekend no but i did too many buttons on the shirt oh it was quite it was a low a low v a bit too low sort of simon cowell v let's have a look at it

Oh yeah, that is Red Raw. Yeah. Oh dear. Embarrassing. You've got a touch of the Martins over there. Oh dear. We should rename it a touch of the Martins. So have you had someone put Aloe Vera on your back? Yeah, my wife done that for me. I mean, it's work. My sister-in-law did offer me sun cream on the day, but I was like, nah, it's not going to be needed, is it? It's March. Those UV rays, Martin, they're dangerous all year round, I'm afraid. They are indeed. Beth, good morning. Good morning.

Morning, Greg. Hi, did you get carried away? What did you do?

Yeah, it was a sunshine dog walk, so it was sun was shining, blue skies, we were going on a dog walk, and I thought, you know what, there's a fruity cider in the fridge. I'm going to take it with me in a glass bottle. Lovely while I was drinking it, however, as soon as I finished drinking it, I found it's actually quite cold, my hands are freezing, and I can't hold my hands in my pocket because I'm holding this empty bottle of beverage. Yeah, it's a tough one. We're not quite there. I think the foam's a little bit crackly, but it was...

I think she was talking about a fruity cider in her hand. What? I must have missed something here. Producer Tom has just handed me a note saying, Mo got a bit carried away speaking to us. Apologies to anyone who was offended. What was she talking about? I need to... Did she describe the pyjamas?

I'm going to listen back. She said fluffy. Did she? Yeah. She said fluffy pyjamas. Really? We heard a different word. Mo! Twice. You said fluffy pyjamas, right? I definitely said fluffy. I'm not the part we're going to add. Apologise to Mo. She's not swearing. Sorry, Mo. I was like, what on earth did Mo say? Oh, my God.

I know. I even stopped myself from saying absolutely anything. Sorry, Mo. I think as an apology, we should play Mo a song. Mo, give me some artists that you like. Who are you into at the minute? Oh, definitely Sabrina. Sabrina? Let's play some Sabrina. What Sabrina do you want? Please, please, please. Please, please, please. Please say sorry, yeah. Yeah, please. Sorry, Mo. Sorry that you were accused of swearing, being a potty mouth. I can't believe it.

Yeah, I can't believe it either. I'd be offended on your behalf. We all got a bit carried away. Anyway, look, on behalf of the British Broadcasting Corporation, I'm sorry. And here's your song. You're all forgiven. Thank you. All right. Have a fluffy great day.

And now let's get you up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. All the latest things. Bon Iver coming up. And now let's do all the latest things and start with Ed Sheeran. He's having a lot of fun. He is, I think, very excited to be back with new music. Azizam is the new song, which we'll get to in a second. That comes out on Friday. But he's been in Massachusetts.

doing silly things like the weather. Hello and welcome to the weather in Ipswich, Massachusetts. As you can see today, it's going to be a little bit cloudy. Not quite T-shirt weather, but sweater weather if you own one of those. You went to Ipswich, Massachusetts because he's a big Ipswich fan, you see. And yeah, so this song...

He's been performing it all over the place. He did it at an open mic night over the weekend. So Azizam is the song. It comes out on Friday. Of course, we'll play that to you on Friday morning's breakfast show. Next up, big TV news. You know, Race Across the World. Well, yeah, they do a celebrity version of it. Scott Mills won that last series. And the trailer for season five has just been released.

India, Nepal and China are the locations. I think we're going in totally the wrong direction. Oh, my God. They're just so busy. Race Across the World, coming soon to BBC One and iPlayer. Yeah, it's coming soon, as it just said to BBC One and iPlayer. And finally, it's that time again for the wobble boards to come back. I'd say around about every six to eight months...

Someone goes, oh, I'm going to do a TikTok on a wobble board because my voice is going to be wobbly. And you know what? I always welcome these videos. We had Jelly Lady on The Breakfast Show. This is her trying to sing All Things Bright and Beautiful. Oh!

What I find funnier than Jenny Lady herself is how much it makes producer Henry laugh. Like, even when we get her to do the It's Friday on a Friday. It really makes Henry go every single time. Well, anyway, Naomi Nikita has done a make-up tutorial and she's done it on a wobble board and it sounds exactly as you imagine. Hello, everybody!

That's her saying, come and do my makeup with me. First of all, she tries some eyeliner. Very dangerous. Poke her eye out like that. And she also did a... Someone else did a wine tasting. Drink it. I can't. I'm worried, Henry, that your two favourite things appear to be wobble boards and people farting. If someone did farts on a wobble board... Yes!

I think you might die. I think I could die. That might be the end. I sort of want to try it. But anyway, I don't want you to die. But we'll think about it. We'll put it in the post-show meeting. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. One final stop on this podcast adventure, and it was me shouting at a speaker. Nerds, stand by. Big nerd news.

Huge nerd news. Nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd, nerd,

We've heard from the powers that be that you can now send us a message. Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it. You can send us a message from your smart speaker. Yeah? OK, all you need to do, and it might interrupt a lot of your listening, but it's worth it for the greater good. Say, Alexa, ask BBC Sounds to send a comment.

It'll ask you to leave your name as well. So I think we'll be able to get some messages through. Actually, will that send messages? Oh God, we might have just broken the whole thing. Uh-oh. We haven't actually tested this yet, so I need to use you as guinea pigs right now. So if you're near a smart speaker and you're listening to Radio 1, say, Alexa, ask BBC Sounds to send a comment and send me something.

It can be anything. And I'll read the ones I can read. I just want to see if it works. It might do. It might. Isn't it nice to have nerd alerts back? Let's see. Let's see if anything comes through. Nothing yet. I think I might have switched everyone's speakers off. That's an issue. Oh, it's worked. There's hundreds. It's worked. It's worked. It's worked. It's worked.

Oh, that's quite freaky, isn't it? Because I've also now got all your emails. I've got your email addresses. I'm just mining for data. I'm not actually doing that. Greg says, Becca, this is too much for a Monday morning. It seems to work, says Dom in Buxton, but I don't know what to say. That's okay. I just wanted a test. Someone just says, Greg, you smell. Thanks for that. Shell says, oh, it's impressive. It works. Ellie, Orla and Charlie say,

A message has come through, I guess, from your mum saying, tell the kids to hurry up. We're going to be late for school. Emma says, Greg, hello. Is this working? Emma Hollingworth. Yes, it's working. I've got your email address. Fran says, Greg, we're having breakfast. Thank you. Jess says, hi, Greg. It's Jess from Rochdale. Good morning. Let's see if this works. Sophie Newcastle. It works. Yes. Yes. Tammy. Greg is on.

That's amazing. Have you got an Alexa there? Yeah. Do you want to try it? Can I try and send myself a message? Go for it. Okay. Alexa, ask BBC Sounds to send a comment. Hello, dear. They do take like a minute to set up. Okay. This is why radio is always best, isn't it? Yeah, try it now. Alexa, ask BBC Sounds to send a comment.

I'm not quite sure how to help you with that. Do stupid care. I think you need to make it listen to Radio 1 first. Alexa, ask BBC Sounds to play Radio 1. Playing music from provider BBC Sounds is not supported. LAUGHTER For God's sake. Alexa, can you bog off? LAUGHTER

It's switched off. Has she gone off? Yeah. Good. She made her sad. Well, she made me sad. She pulled our pants down live on air. Try and do a nice thing. So apparently you can... Oh, they're still sending. This is good. It's just that one. Daniel's off to Butlins in Bognor Regis. Very excited. Joe in Derby. Testing. Joe just said, testing. Testing. Testing.

Yeah, Tiffany Milton-Keens heard the nerd alert and wanted to get involved. Thanks. So look, it worked and thank you for trying out the experiment. I'm pleased.

David says, I just heard your pathetic attempt, Craig. I'm listening with the dogs. Oh, we have a great day. Well, I'm glad, even if I can't get it to work, I'm glad that you can. Darren says, I wonder whether it's acceptable to have jam on toast on a Monday morning. Of course it is. That's been sent via a smart speaker, that message. This is the future. Kaz from Hook Norton says, the irony, the irony is that it's not.

The BBC can't play BBC sounds. It's evil. Yeah, the robots are taking over. Neil's in New Haven and says, you just set off all my Alexas in my house. Sorry about that. Does it work if I say, Alexa, play Radio 1? Playing BBC Radio 1. David says, I just heard your pathetic attempt, Craig. Oh, OK. I hope you have a great day. Well, I'm glad that even if I can't get into work, I'm glad that you can. She's delayed, isn't she?

She's a little slow. I wonder whether it's acceptable to have jam on toast on a Monday morning. Of course it is. Okay, we don't need to listen to that. Alexa, shut up, please. Oh, no. I just turned off a load of listeners. That's not what we want. When I told her to shut up, it stopped everyone else's. Oh, God. That's the opposite of what this was supposed to do. Oh, no. Aled, I'm sorry. There's no one listening now.

Callum, I've blown it. You have. It's not going well. It's very funny, but it's, you know, it's not going to plan. But even if it's funny, then no one's listening anyway. There's no one to laugh at. It's just you and me. It's just you laughing at me. Oh, my God. And there you go. That's that. That's the end of today's breakfast show as my book closes on another day. And the book will open again tomorrow at 7 a.m. And you can catch up again on the podcast. So that's it. Goodbye.
