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 with the start of the week.

So, today we had Addison Rae as my special guest, who was really good fun, you're going to hear that in a second. We got you up to date with all the latest things, we had yesterday's quiz, we also talked about stupid reasons you've moved somewhere, which we really liked, plus a new edition of the Surname Game. Oh, we're calling it the Surname Game? Oh, the Surname Game? That works. That's not, you know, not much of a reach, but it's...

It's just there, isn't it? Name and game rhyme. Yeah. Sir game. Sir game. Sir game doesn't work. No, sir name game. Sorghum. Sorghum. I am Sorghum. All right. Let's get into Addison Rae. Radio was all day breakfast with great jokes.

Addison Rae, welcome to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Thank you. This is a real treat. For me too, I'm happy to be here. And you're having a great time. It looks like you're having a great time. Thank you, I am. I imagine being a pop star is, you know, draining sometimes and tiring, you're flying around. But essentially what it looks like from a fan's perspective is like you're having a good life. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I am. It's all my dreams coming true, so I couldn't be happier. Congratulations on the album. Thank you. Addison is the album. It's so good. Thank you. You're such a great pop star. Thank you. I appreciate it. I feel like you always knew you could be a great pop star, even when you were a kid. Yeah, I watched a lot of Hannah Montana when I was little. Yeah, you had an upbringing of obviously dancing a lot. Hannah Montana.

Cheetah Girls. Lilo and Stitch. Yeah. So all of that put in together in the melting pot. Where does Lilo and Stitch fall in? I don't know. I was going to ask you that question. You said it. But where do they come in? What's the... Because it's all the things. Maybe just like ready for a wild adventure. Right. Yeah. And that's what this is. Yeah. Talk us through this album then, because it is a brilliant pop album. Thank you so much. It's upbeat. It feels very you. It feels like you've really enjoyed making it.

Talk us through some of the processes in getting this record. Where did you start? What was the first song that you thought, that's got to go on the album? Well, Die Pepsi was the first song that I wrote on the album. And I had a lot of pressure on myself just because, you know, luckily and...

people really enjoyed that one and it made me really, really excited, really prompted me to be fearless and kind of just trust my gut. Well, that served you well, hasn't it? Yeah, I think so. And your fans know that served you well. They've been there from the beginning, from really early on. I mean, you started, your story is...

Kind of incredible, really. It is. From most followed person on TikTok to enormous global pop sensation. But I love the early beginnings of you starting doing dances online. And you just amassed a following to the point where you sort of went, this could actually be, this is my job now. Right. So you started doing TikTok dancing and stuff when you were studying, right? Yeah, I started, I think I downloaded TikTok online.

The summer after I graduated high school. Right. And I was always really eager and curious growing up. And I knew that I wanted to live somewhere other than where I was born. And I thought... Louisiana. Yeah. And I got really interested in exploring things deeper and further than that after I got on social media. And then I was always really interested in music because of dance. And my dance background really, I guess, inspired this interest in music.

a world outside of myself that I could really dictate. And I think, yeah, doing this album was really therapeutic in a lot of ways because it was relieving all these childhood dreams. So you danced your way out of Louisiana, really? I kind of did, yeah, I did, which is really beautiful. That can be the name of your musical. Yeah. Dancing my way out of Louisiana is really quite sweet. Should we play a song? Yeah. Should we play a song from, a song that got you into dancing? Sure. Do you want to pick something? You know what?

Let's hear Circus by Britney Spears. Okay, we should talk about Britney in a second. Cool. All right, let's play Britney and we'll be back with more from Addison Rae next on The Breakfast Show. So that's Circus by Britney Spears, chosen by Addison Rae this morning. She's also a Louisiana gal. She is.

What was the thing that drew you to Britney when you were a kid? Well, I think her being from Louisiana was really inspiring because it showed me kind of an extension of that opportunity and dream and possibility. And you thought, that's it. I was like, that is how you do it. She did it. And do it right. But you're now Britney for other people. Oh my gosh, I wouldn't say that. No, you are, but that's in that same way of going, oh, she followed a passion. Right. She made this thing happen. And she'll be like, oh my God, you'll be people's Britney Spears.

Addison, we do a feature on this show called Unpopular Opinion. Okay, let's hear them. And we've got our listeners standing by. They are brilliant. They're weird sometimes. They're very funny. And they're going to... Just how I like them. Yeah, exactly. I feel like you'd enjoy this. So we've also got a theme tune, which the words are down there. If you want to join in, you're very welcome to. I can go through it once...

And come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up till now that you've been scared to say. Yeah, nice. Very good. That was some good pop star. Give some ad libs. Yeah, pop star breath work.

Okay, first up we have Jess. I think that spicy food is a waste of time. You think spicy food is a waste of time. Okay. Let's discuss Addison. You're connected to Addison Rae, by the way, Jess. Hey. I unfortunately have to disagree. I love spicy food. I think it's like a thrilling experience, but also I'm from Louisiana, so everything

Everyone there uses a lot of spice on their food. Of course, because there'll be lots of hot wings. It's like pain and pleasure, you know? Yeah, I like that as well. So, Jess, what's your limit? What would you go up to? I'm a chicken tikka masala girl. They're the same. Yeah. Same. I really am. I just can't cope with it. I don't want to be sweating like I run a marathon when I'm trying to eat a curry. It's not a good look for me. LAUGHTER

Fair enough. Thank you, Jess. Thank you for having me. Let's go again. OK, Unpopular Opinion round two, and we sing. Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up till now that you've been scared to say. Jess was great. We now go to line two, and we've got Lindsay. At a gig, sitting down is better than standing up. Mm. Mm. Mm.

I feel like as a dancer, you might disagree with this. Well, as a dancer, maybe I agree because, you know, whenever there's like some sort of dance performance, it's nice to have like the focus on the show, like, you know, a nutcracker perhaps. But...

I do disagree for like a proper show. I think everyone should be dancing, you know, whenever the songs are being performed. Yeah, like a big pop show. But I get why you would say that. Like, it's nice to be able to see your full view. Yeah. Lindsay, let's dig into this with you. So what are you sitting down at recently? What have you watched? I was sat down at Harry Styles. Were you? Yeah.

I got up at certain points, but I also had a nice little rest and a sit down. You're getting up for watermelon sugar, aren't you? Yeah. Okay, so maybe I'm getting up to the hits. So it's more of a preference on the song type of vibe. Yeah. Well, maybe my main reason is that I don't like people's sweaty hair touching me. Right. Okay, that's a valid reason. Now we're getting somewhere. No, I get it. I get it. But like, you know, maybe you just raincoat it.

Yeah, just put your hair up and put a poncho over. I think that's basically it. Great idea. Lindsay, thank you. Thanks. Should we play a song? Sure. I feel like we should play one of your songs. I would love that. Which one do you want to hear? Fame is a Gun? Yeah. Okay. Just for you. And you. And me. And all the fans. B.

Fame is a Gun by Addison Rae on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. And Addison is my special guest today. We're doing Unpopular Opinion.

And I might ask you for an unpopular opinion, Addison. Maybe. OK. Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up till now that you've been scared to... Hey. Say. Or hey.

And we finish with Evie. Adults should be banned from theme parks. Ooh. Hmm. I disagree. I love Disney. Yeah. No, Disney's the worst. What? Adults at Disney, no. This is good. This feels like a good battle. I'm speechless. Evie, when did you last go to a theme park? Probably when I was about 14. Mm-hmm.

And is it because you didn't like the grown-ups being there when you were there? No, I think it's more just the idea of grown-ups going of their own accord without children. And especially Disney and wearing the ears.

Oh my God, me literally wearing the ears just all the time. Sorry, Addison. No, it's honestly so okay. Like, you know, not everybody's compatible in life. Yes. Which is different, you know? Yeah. I'm interested to know your thoughts on this, Addison. I do draw the line at people getting engaged at Disney. Yeah, that's fine. You think that's fine? I think that's fine to draw the line there. Okay, what about getting married at Disney?

Yeah, I don't know. That definitely doesn't feel as great. But maybe if somebody gave a good justifiable reason, I could get behind it. I think Minnie and Mickey are the only two that are allowed to get married. I agree, I agree. But maybe Goofy. If he finds the one. If he finds someone. If he finds the one. I feel sad for Goofy. It's okay. Evie, thanks so much. Thank you. Thank you. Do you have an unpopular opinion?

Oh, I don't like Nando's. Oh! All right. Okay. I like Nando's. The Nando's thing... It's tricky.

It's tricky for me because I feel like we've sort of been bullied into it as a nation. Oh, damn. No, I feel like we have as we're supposed to like it. Right. And I like it as a quick bit of chicken. Grab and go. Bit of corn. Lovely. You know what? I had a bad experience with it, so I think I have my own issues because of that. I had it catered on a set that I shot and it was like cold and nonstop.

Not good. And that was the only time I had it. So I think I just need to have a redemption moment, you know? Well, we have the CEO of Nando to apologize. I'm so sorry. That's a good unpopular opinion though. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks so much for being on The Breakfast Show, Addison. Thank you. It's been a real pleasure to chat to you. Same. And the album is fantastic. Thank you so much. There was one last thing I wanted to ask you.

Can you teach me some gymnastics? Sure. Can you teach me some acrobatics? Of course. Because I saw in an interview that you said that you like to lift people up. I do. I can definitely pick you up. Do you want to lift me up? Yeah, I can. Do you want to? I can, yeah. You can? Yeah, for sure. Let's go. What move are we doing? Wow, you're really tall. How tall are you? I'm 6'4". Oh, wow. I'm not... I'm quite... I think I'm quite light. No, you look light. I'm lean is what you meant to say. You're mean and lean. Thank you. Okay, let's...

Do you want me to actually pick you up? Do you wanna pick me up? Sure. Do you wanna try? I'll try. Your head might hit the ceiling. Are you ready? Do you feel like you're in Titanic? I do feel like I was in Titanic. Or Dirty Dancing. Yeah, Dirty Dancing! Okay, give me a move that I can do. Let me think. Okay, maybe like this? Higher. Okay, that worked. Okay, that good? Yeah.

Give me one move to do from here. From there? Look up. Huh? Look up to the sky. Eyes up. Okay. Yeah. Right, hang on. That's nice. That good? Yeah. Play a song, Tom. Great lift. Thank you. I know I'm strong. I should have stretched before that.

It's okay. We have time to work on it. I need some... Can you explain to me this is what you just tried to make me do? Yeah, we were attempting like some sort of scorpion scale type of thing, but it was questionable. I do yoga, but that has really... Oh. That's something I need to work on. Right. I think. That's more advanced. It felt advanced. It felt advanced. I need to book in with a specialist after the show, but thank you.

We'll see you soon. BBC Radio 1 Breakfast. Addison Rae, excellent. Really, really good. The next guest off the rank will be Jodie Comer and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. That's good, isn't it? So make sure, that's going to be Friday, so make sure you subscribe to this podcast and make sure you don't miss it. And next, let's do the surname game. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. This is Greg James and that is Callum Leslie. Hello. Yeah.

Do you want a little game? Yeah, definitely. A little game's past the time. You know. On the school run. No, whatever. You've got to do something. You've got to keep it light, haven't you? Don't overthink it. This is just a bit of fun. Exactly. Last week, we had an amazing message from Eleanor, who messaged to say, you know, I love Callum Leslie, I love Pete Allison, who do the news. They have surnames that are not only first names, but they're also classic mum names. Leslie and Allison. Callum Leslie, Pete Allison. Yeah.

And we posted a video of this over the weekend and it flew around the internet and people seemed to love it. So who am I to argue? Exactly. Gotta give the people what they want. Yep, can't agree more. We've celebrated when... Your surname's a mum's name. Your surname's a mum's name. Also, your surname's a dad's name. Your surname's a dad's name. And now we give you...

Ready for the new one? I'm ready. Your surname's a job's name. Your surname's a job's name. So, we're looking for a Susan Baker. For example. Would be good. Or a Sabrina Carpenter. Oh, a Sabrina Carpenter is great. Yeah. So, if your name is a job's name, it doesn't have to be your job's name. If it is, that's kind of like...

That's like doing the double. That's like, that's a jackpot. Yeah. If your surname is your job's name, amazing. But if your surname is just a job's name, fantastic. So we're looking for butchers. Yeah. A pat butcher would be 100 points. Yeah.

Surname's a job's name. Your surname's a job's name. Oi, your surname is a job's name. Where should we start? Let's start with John, who's in Birmingham, and says, Greg, I work with the sales director whose name... I work with the solicitor in house sales whose name is Charles Law. There we go. It does work, it works.

So it's a good start, it's a good start. Solid. Solid start. Hi Greg, my name is Hannah Leckie. Which I didn't know what people were talking about for years when people were going, I'm looking for a good Leckie. Short for electrician. Kate says, my daughter's textiles teacher is called Mrs Draper. Very good. Really nice. Very good. Nice one. Yeah. Yeah.

Katie in Sevenoaks says my friend is called Natalie Physio and she is a physio. Is Natalie, that's good. But it's spelled like F-I-Z-I-O. Ah, okay, right, yeah. That's a good surname. That's good, yeah. Cool surname.

Voice notes. Your surname's a job's name. Hello, Greg and Callum. My name is Ben Foreman. Oh, Ben Foreman. There we go, yeah. He's in charge, isn't he? Next. Morning. It's Carolyn here. My partner's name is Mark Plowman. Plowman. Also a good lunch.

I worked with a surgeon called Mr Butcher. Oh, no. You're not going to Mr Butcher for surgery, are you? Oh, wow. That's him standing there with his cleave. Yeah.

Nothing to worry about. Morning, Greg. My name's Tom Driver. And guess what I do? I drive a lorry.

Hey! How are you? Lovely. My mum was a driver growing up. That was her name before she got married. Oh, really? I just realised. Oops. And does she like driving? She does. Oh, wow! There's so many coincidences. So many things. Yeah, wow. Well, that's nice. Yeah. Driver's a good maiden name, isn't it? Yeah. Driver. Driver.

Driver or Leslie? Driver. I'd go for Driver. Well, would you know? If you're a movie star, yeah, Driver. Okay. It's a movie star, so I'll name Driver, isn't it? Mini Driver. Adam Driver. That's all I can think of. Two movie stars. No, it's good. They're good.

Next. Hi, Greg. It's Amanda from Swindon. I'm married to a Jason Tyler and he is a Tyler. Oh, wow. He had to be. It was written in the stars. Do you think if that's you and your name is that and you start going towards that career, you're like, oh, I'm going to do it. Am I going to do it? I think I am. I'm just going to go for it. It was written in the grouting. Let's go to the phones, shall we? We've got phones here. Line one. Hello. Good morning.

Go on then, what's your name? My name is Harriet Press. Hey! Sir, name's a job's name. Now, what do you do? Well, I'm a location manager in the TV and film industry, so not quite the media press sort of. But still,

So, you know, there's a connection there. It could have been that you work in journalism or that you make orange juice. I would have accepted both. Could be a future project for sure. You never know. The media industry, as we know, is volatile, isn't it, Harriet? It's extremely volatile, especially at the moment. It's hard, yeah. Are you doing fun work at the minute? What are you doing?

I can tell you a little bit. I am currently on a project for Apple. You can press apples. You can press apples. There we go. Yeah. Yeah. Go on. What else can you tell us?

Well, let me think. I've signed quite a heavy NDA, so I've got to be careful. And now it's too many secrets live on the radio. We don't want you to get in trouble with one of the most famous companies in the world. It's fine. And it's also not worth the legal fees from our side either. So anyway, Harriet, have a great day. Goodbye. Thank you. Goodbye. Let's go again with your surname's a job's name. Line two. Good morning. Hi, morning. Who have we got here then? My name is Becky Sargent. Hey. Hey.

Your surname's a jobs name. It's good. And are you one?

Unfortunately not, no. I'm a children's nurse. Okay. That's good. I did say I missed the boat in marriage because I was looking for someone with the surname Major because Sister Sergeant Major is quite great. Sergeant Major, excellent. Really a double-barrelled business. Thank you, Becky Sargent. Let's move on to line three. Hello, who's there? Good morning, it's Kayla Painter here. Hey!

Your surname's a job's name. And a good job at that. And are you one?

I am not. I'm actually a musician. So I'm slightly in the arts, but just quite often people make the comment, no, I'm not in the right art, but I am. You are in the arts in a way. You're creating things and that's important, isn't it? Yeah, definitely. Kayla Painter, thank you. Let's go to line four. Hello. Who's that?

My name is Ben Pope. Oh, your holiness. Good morning. That is one of the top jobs, that one, isn't it? Yeah, Ben Pope. Your surname's a job's name. Your surname's a job's name. And can I check, are you the Pope?

No, I wish. That is a shame. Not yet, not yet. Not yet, there's still time. You could be Pope, couldn't you, Ben? Yeah, play the long game, I think. Famously a job that comes quite late in life, usually. That's true, yeah. I'd say they all play the long game. It's a big waiting game, isn't it? It's basically sort of just a job of patience.

Yes. Well, look, sky's the limit for you. And Holy Father, lovely to chat to you. And have a lovely rest of the day today. What do you actually do, Ben Pope? I'm a fire and security engineer. Oh, okay. Not too much of a lap, then. No. He presides over people, I guess. Yeah, okay, yeah. He cares for people, I suppose. Not many parallels, really. I was just trying my best. Anyway, Ben Pope, have a great day. And you. See you later. Amen. Goodbye. God bless. Bye-bye.

Peace out. Do you say peace out to the Pope? Yeah, I think you can. Yeah. Fine. I really like that run. Harriet Press, Becky Sargent, Kayla Painter, Ben Pope. There's so many more coming in. Surnames, jobs, name. Okay, let's just do a quick register. Anyway, okay, so here we go.

Can you go here, sir, after each one? Yes, I can. Just because I make it like school. Steve Paver. Here, sir. Sean Nunn. Here, sir. Paul Nurse. Here, sir. These are all real ones, by the way. These are all real. Jenny Cook. Here, sir.

Very deep voice, Jenny. Did you change the name? Did you change the voice? Okay, let's try again. If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing properly. If we're going to pretend we're in registration, you've got to do different voices for the kids. Jenny Cook. Yes, sir. Tom King. Yes, sir. Leanne Priest.

Here, sir. That feels like Jenny again. But anyway, it's fine. Doesn't matter. Maybe they're friends. Yeah, they speak similarly. Dominic Brewer. How many of these have you got? Dominic Brewer. Here, sir. Very good. Becky Taylor. Here, sir. Sir, name's a job's name. That was Kermit the Frog. It's fine. Rosie Shepard. There's not much to work with on those two words, is there? Come on, I've got loads more. Rosie Shepard. Here, sir. Um...

Lily Gather Coal. Yes, sir. It doesn't sound like that. What, because she's been, what, down the mines? Yeah, yeah. Because she's been gathering coal? Yeah, yeah. You think she's got lots of dust in her throat? That's it, that's it, yeah. She sounds like that. That's what it is, yeah. So Lily Gather Coal will end today's Surnames a Job's Name. And you know what? This can just keep running and running and running. It really can. Surnames a food. Your surnames a, what are you?

What did we come up with earlier? Nan's name is good. Pet name. So your pet name's a pet name. Pet name's a great one. All of that's still to come. On the BBC Sounds app, on the radio, and ask your smart speaker to play Radio 1. Before we do all the latest things, let's have a quiz now, and here comes Kerry. Shall we quiz? Shall we quiz?

Good morning, Kerry. Morning, Greg. Morning, how are you? Yeah, good, and you? Very good, thank you. Buzzing that it's sunny and hot and buzzing we've got a new team on the quiz this week. So, Kerry, tell us all about you and your team, please. Yeah, so we're a group of occupational therapists who all work together in Redcar Social Care.

So our name's like the Home Visit Huns. The Home Visit Huns, because as occupational therapists, as OTs, that's one of your big duties, isn't it? To check that everything's all good in wherever you live. Make sure there's good access. Make sure there's good support and all that kind of stuff. OTs, what a great job. Underrated profession, the OT. They don't get much shout out. The physios get a lot of love, but the OTs don't get a lot. Yeah, I agree. So does that mean that you are NHS? Yes.

No, I was in the NHS. I worked in the hospital for three years, but now I'm in social care. Right. Well, I'm still going to give you a point for being a wonderful medical professional. So there's a bonus point before you even begin, Kerry. So quite competitive, this team this week?

A few of us are, yeah, a couple, I'd say. I'm probably the most competitive, to be honest. Yeah, I've heard that maybe quizzing's not your game, but beer pong is. Yeah, yeah, I get too competitive at beer pong. I've never lost, you see, so... That is an extra... Do you know what that is? That's not you necessarily winning, that's everyone else just giving up because they know that you're so into it.

But let's see if you turn the quiz into beer pong this week. So, Kerry, we have 90 seconds on the clock. Do we have some dingers? We already do. We've checked them. Here we go. Your time starts when you give me your first answer. Here we go, Kerry. Question number one. What day was Father's Day? Sunday. It was, yes. Big Zoo scored the winning goal in which charity football match yesterday? Oh, I can't pass. It was Soccer Aid. Yesterday was North West's 12th birthday. But who's her famous mum?

Pass. It's Kim Kardashian. Boo brought out H to perform Raving in the Studio at Parklife Festival, but spell the artist H. Pass.

A-I-T-C-H. Yes! Yesterday was National Megalodon Day. But what was a megalodon? The largest shark to ever exist or Steph London's sister? A shark. Yes! 28 Days Later was on TV yesterday, but what's the name of the sequel being released this year? 28 Years Later. Correct! The Galapagos tortoise celebrated its 135th birthday. Give me your best impression of a very old tortoise.

Good, two points for that. Which beaver-loving country hosted their Grand Prix yesterday? Australia? No, it was Canada. Scientists were baffled by radio signals coming from where? Under the Antarctic ice or the BBC Sounds app?

Under the ice. Yes, it was the Darts World Cup. But which other UK nation beat Wales? Germany. No, it's Northern Ireland. Archaeologists discovered France's deepest what? Poem or shipwreck? Shipwreck. Shipwreck is correct. Which Manchester-based festival did Charlie XCX headline yesterday? Parkway. Correct. JJ Spawn beat off Robert McIntyre to win the US Open playing which sport?

Golf. It was golf. And a Pedro Pascal lookalike competition was held in New York City. But which Marvel film is Pedro currently starring in? Honestly, don't have a clue. It is Fantastic Four. And that is the end of yesterday's quiz for today. Some passes, Kerry, some incorrect answers, but a good tortoise, a good spelling of H...

And the bonus point for being an OT...

You get 11 points today, Kerry. Oh, that's OK. I thought I'd get about six. Well, you've done way better than that. So 11 points is pretty good. First quiz of the week. We'll see how the rest of the team does as it progresses. Kerry, have a great day. Thanks for being on. You too. Thank you. Bye. And now, all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. All the latest things. Come on then, let's get you up to date with all the latest things and we start with the Darts World Cup.

So Northern Ireland's Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney beat Wales' Gerwyn Price and Johnny Clayton to claim the win, to claim the cup. Earlier on today, we had a wonderful contestant on yesterday's quiz called Kerry. She didn't quite understand what was going on. It was the Darts World Cup, but which other UK nation beat Wales? Germany. No, not quite, Kerry. There was an amazing moment, which I think eclipsed the win, maybe.

And it involved a body part. Petr Krivka on his World Cup debut. A bookmark passage into the knockout rounds in style. That will do it. Right, so that's Petr Krivka and got through to the final 16 and was so, so happy to have done so that this happened. Petr Krivka celebrates so hard, I think one of his teeth just...

It's the mark of a good night out really, isn't it, I guess? He just bends down, picks it up like nothing happened and just walks off. Next up, let's go to one of the wonders of the sea, specifically an elephant seal who seems to have got lost. An elephant seal wandered into suburban Cape Town, South Africa.

At first a traffic hazard, the seal eventually won the hearts of Gordon Bay's locals, with residents dubbing the seal, quote, Gordon, or Gordy for short. So Gordy's on the news. Southern elephant seals are the world's largest seal species. They believe Gordy weighs about a ton and is still growing. A ton and still got more to go. At one point, Gordy went to sleep in a police car and crushed it. They also make an incredible noise. Gordy.

That's out of its face, by the way. Wow. Wow. That's a tough night, isn't it, that one? Thankfully, Gordy was eventually convinced to return to the ocean. After nearly nine hours of corralling, Gordy was safely returned to the sea. Yeah, there he's back. Back into the sea. Safe travels, Gordy. We'll see you soon. And finally, some exciting music news. Alex Warren has released a snippet of a new collaboration with...

Rosé. But right now I just need you to know. Way the clouds are faded. A perfect shady yellow across the sky. Maybe it's way the time to change it. And I'm stuck in the middle. Frozen in a fly.

So, number one, Ordinary was a massive number one. He spent 12 weeks there before he got kicked off by Sabrina Carpenter last Friday. There's also new music from Ed Sheeran on the way. He did this at his gig in Rome over the weekend. Ed's got a song on the new Drive soundtrack, you know, the F1 film. This features Dave Grohl and John Mayer.

Yeah, pedal down and just drive. Sounds like Dave Grohl obviously on the drums there, which is interesting. The soundtrack also features Tate McRae, Ray, Madison Beer, Peggy Goo, Burner Boy and more. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. Next up, did you move somewhere for a very stupid reason? Radio One's All Day Breakfast.

Had a busy weekend. I was on uncle duty. Funcle, Greg. Fun uncle. I was taking my niece around some university open days. Lot of it about at the moment. Lot of open days. He even went to Bristol on Saturday.

Great city. I love Bristol. Great university. We were walking around. We went to a couple of sort of little lecture things to tell everyone about the course. It was really interesting. And then we had lunch after one of the sessions with one of my niece's friends. And sitting back and observing their conversation is fascinating. I felt like David Attenborough just watching two...

wild animals just talking nonsense really. But it was really amazing insight into what you're like at that age and what's important to you when you're picking a job or a university or something or a school. And the main reason that my niece didn't like Bristol and she said, I don't know if I can come here. It's too hilly.

Right. Just the hills? She went, yeah, everything else is great, but I don't know if I could do those hills and all the steps. I'm not sure I could do it.

And then her friend started talking about Leeds. She'd been to Leeds. She was like, "Oh my God, I love Leeds." And then they had this conversation. I just listened to it and go, "Oh my God, I love Leeds." Yeah, Leeds is so good because the accommodation is right next to a Wingstop. Okay, so you're going for chicken. Is the course any good? I don't know, but the university, the accommodation is right next to a Wingstop and it's amazing. And it's not as hilly as Bristol. Okay.

That is the future of our country, ladies and gentlemen. So, shall we do a quick stupidest reasons you picked somewhere to live? Could be university, could be anything. But there'll be something. There's like a big reason that you've told...

you know, your parents or something. But then there's like the real reason you've told your friends. My niece's mate will go home and tell her parents and go, you know, the course at Leeds, fantastic, really good. Like my mate went there before and they said she got a great job out of it. But her friends, there's a wing stop next to the accommodation. Okay, funny, honest reasons you moved to a place. Maybe for university.

Because when you're 17, should you be really in charge of making decisions like that for your life? Probably because it's kind of fun, I guess. Daisy says, I couldn't decide between two universities when I was 17. My final decision to pick Newcastle was based on the fact that my boyfriend at the time was going to the other one. I wanted to break up with him, but I didn't know how to do so, so I could just blame it on the distance. Oh, wow, wow. It's now over 10 years later and I still live in Newcastle, so I guess it was the right decision. There you go.

You can have a good life wherever you end up. I like this a lot. Hi, Greg. My Ecuadorian boyfriend was picking universities in the English-speaking world to go to and ended up moving over 5,500 miles across the world to Bristol because he thought the University of West of England had the best website. Have a look at UE's website. University of West of England. Is it good? Yeah.

Would you move 5,500 miles for that website? Producer Amy, what are you saying? Well designed. Yeah. Very well designed. It's the best website. I'm pleased that we're getting some good ones of these. Because I was sitting there at lunch, we were having a pizza, and I was like, you would move for a Wingstop? And my niece's mate went, yeah, I would die for a Wingstop. Are the chicken restaurants available? Lauren's in Gloucester and says, I backed out of my first choice, a prestigious London university, to go to my reserve choice, which was Hartbury College.

What I told my parents is it's closer to home and I'd miss you too much. The real reason were the rugby boys' thighs. Look, I'm glad you're honest with me. Kev in Southampton says my daughter's at Brighton University because she likes all the little shops. What, down the lanes? Yeah, we love the lanes. You'd move for the lanes. Sam's in Bristol. I went to Cardiff because it was where they filmed Doctor Who.

Well, do you know what? I mean, in a way, I chose Norwich and the University of East Anglia because I am and was a huge Alan Partridge fan and he was famously on the radio in Norwich. So that put Norwich on the map for me. And then when I found out, I made sure that the University of East Anglia had a good student radio station because I knew I wanted to do that. So I guess I chose it for radio.

What's going on here? I picked Swansea University because it was next to a big beach and it was about seven hours away from my parents so they wouldn't just be able to turn up. Wow. Picking Swansea because it's on a beach and it's really far from your parents. They spent 18 years looking after you and that's how you repay them. By getting them to pay for you to go seven hours away from them and never to see them again.

Naomi's in Brighton. I partly bought my house because I can reach a poke stop from my lounge from Pokemon Go. Amy, does that resonate with you? Me too. Do you live near a poke stop? Yeah, and I just log on every about hour and do it. Right. I should admit that. No, no, it's too late, you have. Hi, Greg. When my wife was pregnant, we had to move to a bigger place, so I moved to the same street as my mum to get a babysitter. I mean, that happens quite a lot, I'd say. Carl, good morning. Good morning.

And it's very convenient.

It's very convenient, but it can be a bit too good sometimes. You know, if you're feeling a bit rough of a morning, you can just pop over and get a Greggs breakfast and then a sausage roll and then a couple of donuts. And the next thing you know, you've put on a few pounds. Yeah, but you can always just sort of do shuttle runs between the Greggs in your house and that way you're burning off the calories as well.

Or perhaps, actually, a good way of doing it would be for you to dig a tunnel by hand. That would be quite a lot of exercise for you and you get your own private little tunnel to Greg's. How about that? Oh, that's a really good plan. You're welcome. I'll bring it up to the council. Thank you. To the council. The next council meeting. Any other business? Yes, I'd like to build a tunnel to Greg's, please. Carl, thank you very much. Megan! Hello. Hello, Megan. Go on then, what's going on here?

So it wasn't me, it was my sister, but she chose to go to Newcastle University because she liked the accent. Great. Well, it's a reason that you're going to be surrounded by that accent. You've got to make sure you like the accent and also the people are really nice in the North East, so that's quite fun. Absolutely.

Yeah, look, and it's very similar to the guy from Ecuador who chose the University of the West of England because of the website. And by the way, Ed's in Epsom and he's just messaged me to say, Greg, the University of the West of England's website is not responding due to the amount of traffic being sent there. Well, I'm pleased. I don't know when their open days are, but I think they're going to be overrun. Megan, have a great day. Thank you for being on. You too. Bye. And with that, we end today's Breakfast Show podcast. Thanks very much for listening. Tomorrow, what's happening tomorrow? Is it just us?

Is it just us tomorrow? Jordan does something weird with the toilet. Jordan does something weird with the toilet. Make sure you listen tomorrow and that's the end of the podcast. Goodbye!
