BBC Radio 1 Radio 1's All Day Breakfast with Greg James Hello and welcome to Thursday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. This is Greg James and today, oh we had such a laugh today. I mean we try and do that every day, that's our aim, but today just something brilliantly unexpected happened and kept happening.
So we'll get to that in a second. Plus, we get you up to date with all the latest things. We have a really good Everyone's Rubbish from a listener called Kat. Plus yesterday's quiz, which actually is where all the fun started. Before that, let's start the show with the very start of the show. BBC Radio 1. Good morning. Thursday. Love a Thursday. Let's get into it. Radio 1 Breakfast Show.
Maybe we all start off Thursday by doing a... That's coming up. Let's not go too early on that. No, no, no. How you doing? I'm good, I'm good. I've got two things to talk to you about before we get going. All right. Firstly, what's your stance on having prawns before 7am? Ooh...
I think in the right setting, I wouldn't be against it, you know. I'm against it. Do you think? I'm very against it. Okay. Producer Henry brought to the breakfast show meeting this morning a prawn and lemon mayo wrap.
We almost sent him home. Yeah. I was thinking right setting, Spain, lots of garlic, sunshine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the eighth floor of the BBC before 6.30. Not in a wrap, man. That was yesterday's prawns. I think it's obnoxious. I really do. Anyway... Obnoxious prawns. Get them out of here. Second thing on the agenda. I want us all to try something before we start the show.
It's a girl attempting to push out all the air in her lungs and then scream. Okay? It's been doing the rounds. This particular one is from The Goat on TikTok. It makes a very strange little toot. Oh, okay. Do you want to try it? Push all the air out of your mouth. You go first. Push it all out.
All of it, blow it all out. Oh, there it was. Wow. Very nice. How do you do that? Well, you can't. I can't believe I just made that noise. That's the trick, isn't it? Wow. Go on then, go. Prawny Henry or go? Okay, push all the air out of your lungs. Oh, no, he's breathing prawn breath. No. Amy, do a quick one. Oh, prawn mic. Tom, are you ready to blow? One for luck.
There you go. There'll be millions of people trying that all over the country now, and that's good. It's like a nationwide warm-up. Collectively, as low as one screen. Yes, get yourself into Thursday with a little toot, and welcome to this morning's breakfast show. Thank you, Spanner. Da-da-da-da-da-da.
Go! OK, now let's do the quiz and we'll just let it all play out. Here comes Marley. Marley, good morning! Good morning, Greg. How are you doing? Very well, thank you. Marley, how's things?
Yeah, you know, it's a work week so we're moving. We're moving, we're getting to the end of that week and we're having a really nice time on yesterday's quiz. So the team this week are the Home Visit Huns. Tell us about your job, Marley, what do you do?
So my job's slightly different to the others three because I'm a rotational occupational therapist so I'm actually NHS employed. So every nine months I move around so yeah I get to experience all different areas for OT so it's lovely. She's rotating, she's an NHS legend and she gets a point by just for just that and that is thoroughly well deserved. But do you, I mean you clearly love your job but it's quite interesting to move to different places I guess.
Yeah, so before where I am now, because obviously I'm in social care now, I wasn't new and before then I was with older persons. So yeah, so lots of experience in lots of different areas. Marley, there's an amazing fact about you. Aside from being very caring and brilliant at your job, there is a fact about the film Titanic, which I need to quiz you about. Yes. It says here that you could recite, if needed, the film Titanic word for word.
Yeah, so when I was seven it was my favourite film and I wore the tape out pretty much. So yeah, I can recite it. Do you want me to do a specific scene? Well...
I was just thinking that the film Titanic is about three hours long. It's quite long, yeah. This show is three hours long, so I feel like we should dip in. If you started the film now, then we could get to the end of the film by 10.30. We could. Give us a little bit of the film now. Give us your favourite bit from the film. Oh, OK. So I think my favourite bit is where she's like, ''It's been 84 years.''
And I can still smell the fresh paint that China had never been used. All that bit. All that bit. I won't do the full thing. All that bit. That's the most sentimental bit. Yeah, all that bit. Yeah, that bit with the old lady. Bit of the old lady in the pearl, whatever it is. Oh, she's great, isn't she? Do you know the bit where she drops it off the side of the boat? My favourite bit of Tartaglia is when she goes... She makes a noise, doesn't she? She does, yeah. She goes...
It sounds like that thing you were just doing earlier where you go... It does. She sounds like she's doing an exhale scream. It does. It does sound like that. Anyway, let's do yesterday's quiz. Let's do it. So we're doing the quiz and then you're going to recite the entirety of the Titanic movie. Here we go. Question number one. Which messy singer posted a picture and a story time with Cardi B?
No idea. Sorry? The phone just went funny. No idea. Oh, you said no idea, right. Lonely Young is the answer. Man City played Wydad Casablanca in the FIFA Club World Cup, but who won? Man City? They did. It was National Panic Day. Do an impression of you panicking.
Two points for that. Archaeologists discovered some ancient jugs on what? A 16th century shipwreck or a statue of Venus? A statue of Venus? No, it was a 16th century shipwreck. Which Newsbeat presenter spoiled the winner of Race Across the World for us yesterday? No idea, sorry. Oh, it was lovely Callum from the Breakfast team. Which What Was That and Man of the Year singer teased her new track Hammer?
Her name is also what you might refer to God as. Say that again. Oh, don't worry. It's Lord. Who was on yesterday's quiz yesterday? Sarah. Yes. Sorry, what had to be paused after a person farted on his opponent? A job interview for HR director at the BBC or a darts match? A darts match. It was a darts match. Bruno Mars will be featuring in Fortnite, but which K-pop star did he collaborate with on APT?
Rose. Yes, Rose or Rosé. Rose, sorry. No, that's all good. Phil Foden said, new season, fresh me. But which Manchester team does he play for? Man United? No, it's City. What time was it at this time yesterday? Eight. 7.21. No, it was from eight. 7.21 is correct.
The Traitors New Zealand was on BBC3 last night, but who presents the UK version of that show? Claudia Winkleman. Yes, let's give you one more for fun. We talked about summer things on the show yesterday, but what season comes directly after summer? Autumn. Yes. FIRE!
Your phone keeps glitching and it sounds like you're a wonderful little robot and I like it. Oh, do I? Yeah, it keeps going. I was going to say, I can barely hear you. Oh, right. Well, I can barely hear you as well. Too complete in that game. We're going to start throwing mud at the phone lines. I know, yeah. Ten points today. And does that include the NHS one? Yes, it does. Ten points today, Marley. Thank you so much for being on The Breakfast Show.
- Ah, well, you win some, you lose some, eh? - You do, and you lost today. - I did, terribly. - But in a way, this team are all winners because you're all great. And there's a chance to redeem yourself because I think throughout the show, we're just gonna keep coming to you with different bits of the film Titanic. So if we start at the beginning now, we'll basically get to the bit at the end.
Spoiler, it doesn't go well. We're going to go to the bit at the end by the end of today's breakfast show. If you're up for that. Yes, let's do it. All right, nice one. Okay, so Marley kept appearing all the way up till 10.30. So, Tom and Susanna, how do you want to do this? Do you want to do it all in one block or do you want to intersperse her between all the things? I think intersperse. Intersperse. I would have said go at once. Interesting. It's like watching the movie. Oh, okay.
Oh, I see. She gives a great performance. So on the show, she kept coming back every sort of 40 minutes or so. But when it's all put together, shall we see if it all makes sense? So here it is in its entirety. The film Titanic, as told by Marley. Marley, should we get going on the film then?
Yeah, let's do it. All right, then. Where do we open? Describe the opening and then we'll come back to you throughout the show today and you can tell us the tale. Picture the scene. You've got ripples of water and the word Titanic is on the screen. And then the next thing you see are some flashing lights.
as an underwater machine is picking up pieces of debris off the ocean. Oh, yeah, I forgot that bit. And Titanic's there. Yeah, I forgot that bit. And then what you see is the guy whose name I've forgotten, Brody, I think it is, and he's, like, dead in real life now, but here we go. He's using some controls and he's picking them up and he's looking and he's thinking, ooh, what is he looking for, we think? And he says, come closer, come closer. And then we're looking into...
Sensational. I can't wait to hear from you all morning. This is going to be... You're going to take over the entire show, Marley.
Oh, what can I do? What can I say? Well, what we want you to say is the entire script of Titanic and that's going to be happening on today's show. Let me fast forward and get another bit for you. I'll do the Maritania bit. It doesn't look any bigger than the Maritania. Marley was on yesterday's quiz this morning and the fun fact about her is that she can recite the full script from the Titanic movie.
of by heart and we're going to keep checking in with her as the show progresses and we've already had the opening sequence so let's check in now and see where she's got up to now at this point in the show where are we Marley I can see the Statue of Liberty already it's very small of course
And he's standing there and his arms are outstretched. Ended at the front of the boat. And you can see dolphins jumping in front. And it's just a beautiful scene. And we don't know what's about to happen yet. Oh, it's lovely, isn't it? We'll leave Marley there for now. And we'll come back a bit later for the next instalment. Whoa!
On the BBC Sounds app. On the radio. And ask your smart speaker to play Radio 1. We're back with Marley, who was on yesterday's quiz today, who can recite the full script from the Titanic movie. The listeners, Marley, are enjoying this so, so much. So we've now progressed quite a bit. Where are we now in the film? Where have we got to? Jack, take my hand. Step up. Close your eyes. Don't open them. I'm not.
Keep your eyes closed. Come Josephine, my flying machine going up. She goes, I'm flying, Jack. Jack.
Sorry. Do not apologise. Do not apologise. This is great theatre. Can you tell I used to do theatre? Oh, this makes so much sense. Yeah, it's fantastic. You're taking us there and that's what it's all about. We're with you. Oh, I'm glad. Marley, we'll be back with the next bit of the Titanic story soon. Radio One's All Day Breakfast with Great Jade.
OK, let's check in with Marley, who's been reciting the Titanic script throughout today's breakfast show. We started this at 7.15 this morning. We're still going because we worked out that the Titanic film is like three and a half hours, three hours 15, isn't it? And so actually this will finish hopefully by the end of today's breakfast show. So where are we now? We've had the bit where Jack is about to board the boat. We've had the bit where he's with Rose on the bow. And where do we go now?
Jack, I want you to draw me wearing this. Wearing only this. Draw me like one of your French girls. Oh, just take a seat on the bed, the couch. Oh, I believe you're a blessing, Mr. Monet. He did landscapes.
I'd forgotten the landscapes bit because as a kid, I was more fascinated with the French girls bit. Yes, absolutely. As we all are. I wasn't thinking about the landscapes joke, which is very good. Hey, must be the Monet. Monet. Anyway, let's leave that for now. We'll cool off and we'll come back with more from Titanic soon.
We're back with Marley on the Radio and Breakfast show, who's been telling us the plot of Titanic as the show progresses. We're nearly at the end, aren't we? What have we got next? Iceberg, right ahead. Oh, God. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Oh, and then let's fast forward to the door. Jack, Jack, Jack, there's a boat, Jack. Is anybody out there? Is anybody alive out there?
She looks very sad, doesn't it? Very sad. But I'm sat here laughing. Okay, and we go in for the final instalment of Marley's incredible storytelling. Marley, welcome back. Hi, Greg. Hi.
It's been such a great morning. The listeners have loved it so much. Have you enjoyed popping up on The Breakfast Show for three and a half hours? I mean, what a dream. What's been the reaction at work from your friends? Very, very busy in the office and the radio's been on and everybody keeps texting me going, is that you on the radio? And I'm like, do you know any other people called Marley who love Titanic? So, you know. If you've just switched on, at 7.15 this morning, Marley was on yesterday's quiz and...
We found out that she knows every single word to the film Titanic. You've been obsessed with it since you were a kid. And we thought, hang on a second. That film is about the duration of this breakfast show. So we're basically at the end. Quick recap. What's happened? Is he dead yet? He's dead, yes. Those guys. He's dead. Okay. So he's dead. And let's bring this home, Molly. Okay. Are we ready, everybody? We're ready. Okay. Okay.
So Jack's died and Rose says, so now you know there was a man named Jack Darson and that he saved me in every way that a man possibly could save me. And then she takes herself to the end of the boat that she's on and she takes the necklace and she pulls it out of her pocket and she goes...
And the curdle of mare floats to the bottom of the ocean. And she gets into bed and she closes her eyes. And the next thing she knows, the doors to the Titanic are opening again. And she's going up that beautiful staircase. And at the top of the stairs is Jack. And she's reunited with him once more. And she gives him the biggest snog you've ever seen. And then that's it.
That's it. That's it. Credits. Roll credits. Roll credits. That's a fantastic retelling. And can I also, let's give you a round of applause for your storytelling today. Wonderful. I love how you said curdle a mare. Oh, yeah. I could do it with a French accent if you like, but we'll stick with the northern one. Give us the French version.
Lovely. Yeah. What are you doing, me Coeur de la Mer? It's floating at the bottom of the sea. Yeah, Coeur de la Mer, heart of the ocean, heart of the sea, isn't it? Lovely. Yeah. When did you last watch Titanic?
Well, it wasn't that long ago, actually. I normally do like a yearly, annual sort of review of it. But recently we went to go and see it with the orchestra. Oh, yeah. My lovely husband took me to see it. So that was a wonder. That's nice. It was great. I wore my T-shirt and everything. I sent a photo of myself to you, by the way, with my T-shirt on. Oh, did you? I'll have a look at that. Well, look, we've got four minutes, 39 seconds of The Breakfast Show remaining. And with that four minutes, 39 seconds, I think...
I think we should play Celine Dion. I think there's only one way to do this, isn't it? Don't let go, Marlene. Don't let go. Never let go. Marlene, please. I'll never let go. I can't let go, Greg. I'll never let go, Marlene. I see you. I feel you. Go on.
Wow. Thank you to Marley for making our day and being the absolute star of today's breakfast show. So there you go. It's the greatest story ever told. Thank you to Marley for being so fun today. The listeners who are listening live adored it and I hope you liked it as well. On this on-demand product.
Next up, I think we should probably get you up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. All the latest things. First, let's go to Loyal Khana, who has appeared on A View From A Bridge, which is a really lovely TikTok show.
People from all over the place, famous and not famous, talk into a phone on different bridges and they discuss their lives and it's shot, I'm sure you've seen it, it goes viral all the time, but it's shot from a distance and it's really lovely to have just the person and their thoughts and a bit of quiet. When my father passed away, my mum was so sure that he came back as a dragonfly, we went to a wedding like a couple of weeks after he passed away and the
This dragonfly, it came into the church and flew around and then it sat on the side of the pews where my mum was sat and it watched my mum for a little bit and then it got up and flew away. Consistently, at every profound moment in my life, there's always one.
Very sweet. He also spoke about his son in spoken word poetry. You know, for my son, it's like a rollercoaster. His eyes are open wide and he's pulling my attention to things that I take for granted. Like I cycled through this park every day before my son was born and didn't really think much of it. And now I cycle through this park across this bridge, across that bridge, you know, like around the big lake, through the other side, stop off in the playground if we're lucky, and I notice it all. He's a lovely man, his loyal carner. Next up, let's go to Avril Lavigne.
Gear change. Avril is currently on her Greatest Hits tour. And throughout the tour, she's been doing covers of other artists and other songs that she loves. Last night. Punk version of Love Story.
So if you're going to the greatest hit show, there'll be a new cover every night. And finally, let's go to H, who sat down with Cosmo magazine and was, well, revealed himself to be, you know, quite thoughtful and...
Well... I'm proper, like, not a rapper. Like, I do rapper things in the daytime and then go home and, like, play Call of Duty and that and sit in a little shell. Just sort of having a nice time, sort of living the life of a teenage boy still. I play paddle and that and go gym. What else do I do? Eat bare food. You know what I do?
I do eye masks. I put eye mask in the fridge and when I get home and I'm time to chill, slap an eye mask on. That's not very rapper-like, is it? I think it is. You be whoever you want to be, H. If you do it and you're a rapper, that is rapper-like. Slap an eye mask on. Yeah, we've all been there. I'm pleased that he said that because that would encourage others to do it, other men to do it. Radio One Breakfast. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things.
And from all those things to everyone's rubbish. BBC Radio 1. Kat, good morning. Good morning, Greg. How are you? Pretty good, thank you. Welcome to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. And you've got an everyone's rubbish for me, haven't you? Yes, I do. So last week I was in the gym listening to Radio 1.
and I finished up and went to go for a shower and I just started washing my hair and realised that I was still listening to Radio 1 but my headphones aren't waterproof. So I quickly whipped my headphone off but this was made worse by the fact that only a few weeks before I dropped my other headphone in a tin of paint so I already only had one headphone. So it's completely gone now, the other one?
No, no, I managed to whip it out just in time, but the volume's a little bit dodgy, so I have just had to buy another pair. That's exactly what it sounds like. Yeah, it sounds a bit like that. Yeah, I can imagine. So it's devastating when you put one in the wash as well, put it in the washing machine. Oh my God. That's exactly the sort of thing I would do. Taking washing out of the washing machine and finding something significant in the pocket.
It makes you feel like the biggest failure as an adult ever. You're like, I'm sorry, I've managed to get...
I've managed to stay alive this long, and yet I've managed to put my debit card in the wash again. What on earth is wrong with me? Although there's nothing worse than a tissue, so let's be honest. Oh, the tissue, and it explodes everywhere. Awful. Yeah, yeah. Okay, what should we do here? Should we do gym-based? Should we do shower-based? Maybe we do headphone-based. Maybe we do... Because it's a radio station, a lot of people listening will be listening on earphones or headphones. I think...
stupidest everyone's rubbish involving headphones and listening devices like that I think we'll get some good stories with these yeah I think you will too a lot worse than mine as well yeah I hope so that's the idea on everyone's rubbish we'll get someone who's having a worse time than you that's really it so Kat stay there
Kat, people love your story. They really do. Has anyone got a worse one? I think so. Yes, we'll get to them in a second. Let's have a quick recap. What are we asking today? How are we going to try and make you feel better? Someone who's completely destroyed headphones. That's what we want. Someone who's had a really bad headphone malfunction. Your one was in the gym shower and also the other one was in some paint. In a tin of paint. Lovely. Lots of people have got a similar story.
which is coming through. Not similar to yours, although it's gym-based. But lots of people are talking about wearing headphones or earphones in the gym and not realising how loud their farts are. That's like a common one that keeps coming through. Let's see what else we've got and let's go to Harry. Hi, Harry. Morning. Hi, how's it going? Pretty good, thank you. Well, it was...
It's going well for you now, but it hasn't been in the past. When were you rubbish? Give us your story. So I was out walking the dogs, probably listening to Radio 1, and I went to pick up some of his dog mess, let's say, and my headphone fell out my ear and right into it. It's really unfortunate and really... It's really unlucky, that, isn't it? Because you're doing a good thing by picking it up, obviously, as every good dog owner should do. Exactly. And it was loose, because I guess...
They can wobble out quite easily, can't they? Yeah, yeah, definitely. Into a tin of paint. Into a dog turd. It's definitely worse than a tin of paint, I'd say, Kat, wouldn't you? I mean, yeah, that's straight in the bin. You don't even try and wash that. Well, that was going to be my next question. What did happen next? It just got picked up with the dog poo. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think there was any save in that. Is there any save? I don't know what I'd do, because they're expensive, those things. Yeah.
It luckily wasn't the most expensive headphone in the world. Yeah, I think it has to go. It does have to go. What if you had to drop your phone into one? Phone's waterproof. Is it turd-proof? That's what I think. Good question. I don't know if Apple specify. I'm not sure. Harry, thank you so much. Let's get some voice notes. What have we got coming next? I was bopping away to my headphones by the pool on holiday last year.
Oh, no, that's sad. But your commitment has not been rewarded there. That's a real shame. You can get the earphones that work underwater. I've always thought I should try them, but I never got around to it. But have you tried those?
I mean, it sounds like I need to. Yeah, I think that's probably a good idea for you. Do you know what? Bella, my wife Bella, she showers with her AirPods in. She's very careful not to get her head wet.
That's great. She can't not listen to something while she's in the shower, but she doesn't use waterproof headphones. That is quite risky. Risky business, that. What else we got? Last night, my son was telling me that he was sneakily listening to the radio while in class, and obviously you're not allowed your phone in class. So he had his earpods in, and then...
the Bluetooth connection cut out and started playing his music mega loud through his phone. Busted!
That's good, though. He's doing the hard work for us. He's basically rebroadcasting us to loads of other kids. That's great. But I'm not across at that at all. Walking on one day, I did get caught singing along to Beyonce, Love on Top by three highly amused girls. Never live that one down. No, you don't. And you shouldn't either. You don't need to worry about it. Just be who you are, Paul.
Keris is in Weymouth. Hi, Keris. Yeah, I was really rubbish when I went. I was listening to an audiobook, a particularly spicy audiobook, might I add, as I was walking up to get my car from the garage. And as the mechanic drove the car round to me, my headphones cut out and I was really confused why. Turns out it connected to my car's Bluetooth, so the mechanic was listening to my...
My audio book, I couldn't look him in the eye. That is fantastic. That definitely beats the, well, definitely this is the most awkward one we've had. Yeah, that's redemption for me. It's a really good rubbish one. We haven't quite nailed Bluetooth, have we? We haven't quite nailed how to use Bluetooth. We haven't, we don't know. It's very unpredictable. So what was the, was it a particularly spicy bit of the book?
Yes, I believe there was some nudity involved. And was anything said by the mechanic? No, he kind of just handed me my keys and then just said, yeah, everything's fine. I walked off. Everything's fine. And what's the name of that book? I'd quite like to want to continue the story. Keris, thank you so much. Kat is on, listening and laughing quite
quite meanly at all of these stories because they're all worse than yours really, aren't they? Yeah, a lot worse actually. Let's go for Stacey. I basically work in an office and was listening to Spotify and my AirPods and somebody was calling me on Teams so...
Just took my earpod, sort of out my ear, put it on the desk, but forgot to pause the song. And I was in the middle of playing Marvin Gaye, Sexual Healing. And next thing I know, it's blasting out of my phone and everybody in the office was looking at me. There's a lot of this. There's a lot of this. It's songs that are...
you know, sexual, like sexual healing, or books that are also sexual too. For the bus in London, headphone fell out, headphone run over by bus. That's good. See, you're living in a cartoon. That's just a little cartoon skit. For the bus in London, headphone fell out,
run over by bus. What else? My daughter, we live at the seaside and she just got a new pair of wireless headphones and they were like an orange colour. But a seagull must have thought they were food and literally just swooped down to get out of her ear. Well, maybe it needed to listen to the latest tunes or get up to date with the latest things. Do we have Izzy? Hi, Izzy. Hello. Yes. Hi, Izzy. Welcome to The Breakfast Show. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Yeah, I'm good. Go on, give us in everyone's rubbish then.
So I wear my over-ear headphones to the gym and they get quite sweaty. And my grandma had given me this book about how vinegar is amazing at cleaning everything. So I tried to clean my headphones with vinegar. Really terrible idea. Now they just think of both sweat and vinegar. LAUGHTER
Horrible. Really horrible. So that's not been used again as a method of cleaning. I'm using the headphones now. I just deal with it. Are you using them to talk to me on now? Yes. Oh, wow. It's a pleasure to be in your vinegar ears. Yeah, thank you. We're going live and direct right into the vinegar crevice.
Lovely. Well, thank you, Izzy, for being on The Breakfast Show today. Thank you. With her stinky ears. Off she goes. There you go. Look, Kat, we've nailed it. We've found about eight to ten people that had a worse everyone's rubbish with headphones than you. So there you go. I feel so much better now. As you should. Thanks for being on The Breakfast Show. Have a great rest of the day. Thanks.
Thank you. Good luck with the gym, good luck with the shower and good luck with the next tin of paint. Just be careful next time, okay? Thank you. On a Thursday, we like to do Thursday. And here it is today. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. It's Charlie Hedges. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. Have I got a treat for you on today's Thursday. Go on. You're going to love this one. Am I? Yes.
You are going to love it. Do you know, right? Genuinely, I always think, I hope they ask me to come in on a Thursday. I ran for my train this morning, which I just made to make sure I was in on time, just in case you ask me again. That's so sweet. I love a Thursday. Can I say now, for as long as we both shall live, for as long as this feature shall live,
You're invited. Oh, actually. You've got access all areas to Thursway. All right. You've got access all areas past to Thursway. All right. It's nowhere near as good when you're not here. The 8.10 train is what I'll be getting on a Thursday. Okay, great. So we'll all think about that. We'll all think at 8.10, it'll be like, Charlie Hedges will be on the way in for Thursway. And here you are. I like it when I get your genuine reaction to the song when I play it. Okay. You ready? Yeah, not looking...
Oh, do you know what the thing is? I feel like sometimes you just pee. What was the one you done a couple of weeks ago? I can't remember. It might have been Cascada. So this is up there for me. It's just one of those iconic ones. Yeah. We should do a little compilation playlist of Thursday songs because it's not just a dance anthem. There's something extra with it. Yeah. Oh, it's just beautiful. Immediately funny, that song, but also great.
Scooter. Melvin! Oh, no! Here for Thursday. Oh, he's in a row! Yes! Come on, Mel! He just assembled like an Avenger. At the back of the room, he put his fists on his hips and just went, I'm ready for Thursday. Mel, you also have an Access All Areas pass. Yes, I do. You're always here. Sweet.
Sweaty, isn't it? It's very warm outside. Today we're doing Scooter. Okay, cool. Logical song. You look great in that basketball top. Thank you very much. Do you know what? I don't... Oh, that's a big statement. Charlie's not usually into a vest. I don't like this, but I do like a vest on Melv. Thank you, Charles. Melv, you look great. Yeah, you look hot. Nice one. Weird saying that about family. Chicago Bulls. Yeah, yeah. Lovely. All about the Bulls for me. All about the Bulls. Sorry, Bulls. I meant to say... All about the Bulls. We know.
Okay, let's do Thursday. The logical song, All About the Balls for me. Scooter. Callum, Leslie, are you involved? Yeah! Obviously. Wow. Okay, you are always welcome. Everyone's welcome. I heard Melvin thought I had to get in there. All About the Balls for you. Let's go. Thank you for all your voice notes. Let's go. I have a double barbecue this weekend. Wahey! Wahey!
Double barbecue. Andrew's in Ayrshire. I'm driving from Scotland to Spain on Saturday in the middle of a heat wave. Hey! Greg, I've just dropped all of my stuff off at my mate's to drive down to Worthy Farm on Saturday before a week on site. We're here! Hey! Preston Briggs!
A few more days before I'm on holiday for a fortnight. Wahey! Wahey! Juliette! Tomorrow's our own closed day at school. I'm going to see Dua Lipa at Wembley. Wahey! Sitting in my digger with the aircon on. Wahey! I didn't know they had an aircon. Hannah! We've got a four-day weekend coming up. Wahey!

Oh, Sweeney, right. It's my husband's birthday, Dave Sweeney. Wahey! Dave's swinging. Whatever his birthday wish. LAUGHTER
You heard the man. Wow, and then it just fades. Oh, no, give us more. It's not where you think the feed's going to come, is it? No, I can see more voice notes. Give us some more. Yay!
Stand up! Good morning! Hallelujah! The joke of it is, me and Melvin standing up is your height sitting down. Sit down, stand up. Alright, Ross, what are you saying, Ross? One week after work, me and the brother are off to Ibiza on first week!
Lovely, so many to get through. The iced frappe machines working for a change at my local fast food restaurant. Whey! Whey! Frapping himself stupid. Just been to the supermarket and got my gin tins and my sun cream and I'm off to the Isle of Wight Festival this weekend in the sun. Whey!
This is Matt, Will, Claire and Grace on the M25 and we're going to the Isle of Wight Festival for the weekend. Whee! So are you, aren't you? No. No, made that up. I was there a couple of weeks ago. There you go, you were there a couple of weeks ago, yeah. It's the weekend of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, fishing all weekend and it's weather. Whee! Yay! That was Mark and Donny. Thank you, Mark, doing some fishing. It's my birthday and we're on the way to Alton Towers. Whee!
Happy birthday. Happy birthday. I'm going motocross racing this weekend. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Wow. Please do take care. Good morning, Greg. I'm just about to go horse riding in the sunshine. Wah-ha-ha.
Lovely. And one more. Lovely. All about the balls for me. All about the balls. Very quick. All about the balls for me. Good. Very good. Thirds way today. Brilliant. I feel like I missed out the double barbecue because there was too much to do, so I need to go back and just sort that out. Also, we need to do a big shout out to Juliet, who's 10 in London for this one. Tomorrow's our own clothes day at school, and I'm going to see Dua Lipa.
Leeper at Wembley. Way! Tomorrow's on close day at school and I'm going to... Juliet, have an amazing weekend. And what was the barbecue one we started off with? I have a double barbecue this weekend. Way! Shall we all do double? Yeah. Ready? That means it's a... Double Barbecue! There you go. What are you going to play after that? What can you play? I know, it's a hard one to follow. Come on, Del.
Yeah, something chilled. It's very noisy, this show, isn't it? It is a bloody racket. It's a racket. Mel, thank you. Charlie, thank you. Callum, Leslie, thank you. Thank you. And thank you for all the voice notes. Thirds Way is back next Thursday.
Lovely third way today. Really nice effort from Melvin and from Charlie. And that's back next week. I think we're done, aren't we? We are done. Is that all the bits? It says Danish has pointed out something we forgot. What's that? There is another bit. There's another bit. There's another bit. Amy in Southport had something to talk to me about. Radio One's All Day Breakfast with Greg James. I want to talk to Amy quite desperately. Amy, good morning. Welcome.
Good morning, Greg. How are you? Pretty good, thank you. I loved your message. Can you please tell the listeners what your message was earlier this week? So on Tuesday, I had an interview for a permanent teaching assistant position at a school that I've been a supply teaching assistant at since December. And I was really nervous, of course, because I obviously really wanted the job. So I
the interview started off with me having to give a five minute presentation about how I was perfect, the perfect candidate for the job. And I think I had actually intrusive thoughts one because I started telling them about how I can turn negatives into positives.
and I just immediately went, you know, like Pitbull, and then missed the worldwide and started trailing off. They looked a little bit confused, so I just moved on and then worried about it until I finally got a call from them a couple of hours later saying I did actually get the job. So I guess it worked. Oh, that's good. That's a relief. Okay, there's a few things to unpack here. So Pitbull was living rent-free in your head, and you thought this would be the moment to drop a Pitbull quote. Yeah.
in the interview. Yeah, exactly. I think it's all your fault, actually. So I do listen to The Breakfast Show on my way to work every single day. So just every day I'm thinking about Pitbull. And yeah, I guess the pitism has just sort of come through in everyday conversation now. Yeah, but, you know, I think that's fine. I think, you know, he lives in my head rent-free as well. And I think it's like he was unavoidable, really. It was inevitable that we were all going to get obsessed with him all over again. But look...
It served you well, so you got the job. It did, and at least it let them know that I'm going to be probably dropping pitbull quotes when I'm there every day anyway. Were you wearing a bald cap during the interview?
I wasn't, but maybe on my first day at work when the contract comes through. Is it a job at a primary school? So it's a job at a special educational needs school. So it's a through school. So all the way from five years old, right up to 19. Okay. So there's potential here for wearing a bald cap while you're actually teaching. Absolutely. For a bit of light relief away from lessons, you know, you need a bit of light and shade in life, don't you?
Exactly. It's entertaining. It's always every day you're thinking about how to entertain the kids the best. Yeah, and some amazing kids. My mum works in special educational needs as well. It's a fantastic, fantastic environment to sort of hang out with, to hang out in and look after those kids. They're incredible, aren't they?
They are. They really are. Honestly, since I started working there, it feels like I am pitbull and I have turned my life from a negative into a positive. So it was fitting, I guess. I think you picked a good one because if you'd have picked... Don't shave against the green. Shave with the green. That way you don't get no bumps on your head. I think that would have been weird. I think that could have taken it to a strange place. Or stay...
Bold, beautiful, bald and sexy. You could have said that as you left the interview room. That would have been good. I was kind of kicking myself for not telling them that the biggest room in the world is room for improvement. There's still plenty of time for that, Amy. The biggest room in the world is room for improvement. Well, congratulations on the job. That's the best news.
Thank you very much. I'm really excited. And does it just sort of start effective immediately because you're already there, I guess? Well, I'm already there and then I've sort of got a little bit of a contract period to finish with the agency that I'm through. But yeah, at least I won't be leaving now. I'm just going to work all the way through and I'm not going to ask someone else instead of me anytime soon. That's so nice. Well, Mr. 305 would be very proud of you, I'm sure. Yeah.
And congrats on the job, Amy. Amazing. We'll catch up soon, OK? Thank you. Lovely. That's a nice end to today's podcast. Thanks for listening. I'll be back with you tomorrow when Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer are going to be on talking all about the new 28 Years Later film, plus doing unpopular opinions. So join me tomorrow.
