BBC Radio 1 Radio 1's All Day Breakfast with Greg James. Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast starring Haim. They're great. They are great. Also, yesterday's quiz, all the latest things, lots of fart chat.

Plus a big weekend announcement. Although I'll just tell you what the announcement is. The announcement is that Haim are playing Radio 1's big weekend in Liverpool. That's happening on the Sunday alongside your Mumford & Sons-ies, your Georgia Smiths, your Jades, your Lodi Youngs, your Wet Legs. I've missed one out there. Self-esteem? Can we do it in charades? Yeah, go on. Who else? How do I imitate this?

We've got to start out with how many words? Waving your hands at me. Okay. One word. Eat. Munch. Scoff. No. Snack. Goblin snack. Eight. Eight. Breakfast. Eats everything. I'm on a tube. Wind. No, think of Tube Girl. Hair. Dance. Oh, you're being that TikTok person. Yeah, I'm being the TikToker. TikToker, yeah. Tube Girl. Yeah. What?

What song did Tube Girl always do her Tube bit to? Oh my God, Tate McRae. Thank you, everyone. Oh yeah, Tate McRae. That was niche. I said eight. Yeah. Yeah, but the song's called Greedy. Oh, I see. But eight is so close to Tate. Oh, to eight McRae. Sounds like. Eight McRae. I didn't get that. Sounds like eight Tate. Anyway.

Would you like to hear the Haim interview? Yes. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. Oh my God, it's Haim. We just peaked. That's fine. We're peaking.

We're here. In real life, it's so nice to see you and have you back. We've been talking about you. We talk about you endlessly anyway, throughout pandemic, various mad things you get up to. We've been talking about your success at the Golden Globes and the movie and stuff. Oh, thank you. We'll talk about... Well, we'll get into that in a second. Well, we talk about you all the time. Yeah, we do. Well, I'm pleased because when I just saw you, you started singing the Bleak Mornings thing.

That, if you have not heard us do Bleak Mornings... Shame on you. Shame. Esty made the most incredible song about this poor man that got bread. He was in a bread avalanche. Yeah, because it was raining. Because it was raining. At first, it was actually raining. Yes. And then he opened the back of his truck, and it was raining bread. Raining bread. I love that you remember this. Core memory. I laughed so hard.

so hard in that studio. Like I was dying of laughter and there will be like twice a year where I'm so depressed and I know what will take me out of it. And it is that bleak morning song. The circle is complete. It's the whole point of bleak mornings. And I can't tell if it's just we think it's so funny because we were so jet lagged and it was I was just so in amazement that you could make such a banger. I don't think that people realize that that was just completely off

the top of the dome. But we say it. You can vouch for us. I don't think they believe. I don't think they believe. They think that we wrote it in advance. I would always vouch for Haim. Thank you. I would always vouch for you. So go watch our bleak mornings. Well, I'll play a bit of it now. Here's the bread song. Oh, no. It's raining bread. It's raining bread. You can hear me laughing. Look at bread.

I smell it.

I taste it. It's on me. But don't waste it. I don't know what else to do but eat myself through. Bread, loaves, hundreds, thousands, all of them on me. It's amazing. Wait, Lee? Lee. We haven't got the next bit. Okay. But you know it better than... Everyone needs to go watch it. But that's honestly how we write songs. Yes.

It's great. And it works. That's how we do it. When we were walking in, Esty said, do you tell everyone that the bleak mornings you've got to beat is R1? It's true. Yeah, but actually we don't tell them that because no one will ever be able to. But I think it might be the most proud. I've never been more proud of us. Thank you so much. We've accomplished so much. But when I think about it, on my deathbed...

When I think about the proudest moments of my life, I'm going to think of that moment. Oh, I'm glad. I'm sure Lee will be chuffed. Yeah. Lee, if you're listening. If you're listening. We think about you from time to time. We think about you a lot. I'd love it if Lee was listening right now. I mean, the chance, he might well be. I hope so. I mean, if you get that sort of bespoke...

you know, service from a radio station. You've got Haim singing you a song. Surely you're loyal to that station forever, no? I hope so. Lee, aren't you? Lee, please?

We'll leave him. We'll let him come to us. Haim, should we talk about your song? Should we talk about relationships? I would love to. What's going on here? Because we've seen you sort of just doing silly memes. We had a couple of weeks of that. We were like, something's happening here. So what's happening? Yes, you're doing Big Weekend. That's very exciting. Yay! Very excited. We're so excited. Very excited. You're coming to Liverpool. I'm excited.

I love Liverpool. We've had the most incredible shows in Liverpool. So, like, going, like, I'm so excited. I'm ready to go. I'm already there. In my mind, I'm there. I'm there already. So, Relationships is the song which we're going to play in a second. Tell us about this song. This is the frustration of a relationship. It's just not good. What's the, where did it come from? Relationships are confusing. Don't you feel the same way? Yes, I do. They're extremely confusing and they're very hard to navigate. Mm-hmm.

And I think, I mean, this was one of the first songs that we wrote actually for Wimpy. And it didn't make it on to Wimpy for...

Interesting reasons. By the way, we call it Wimpy. Wimpy's a great... It's our last album, Women in Music Part 3. But you call it Wimpy. We call it Wimpy. Yeah, relationships are tricky. I had an argument the other day with my wife about the type of sugar that we were putting on pancakes. Powdered? Yeah. Granulated. Okay, well, she's right. She's right. You are 100% right. But I'm talking about... I'm talking about...

pancake day. I'm not talking about American. I know what you've got in your head. You've got American pancakes and I would say dusted sugar if it's an American pancake but we're talking more like a crepe.

Still powdered. Still powdered. Still powdered. Well, why don't you just go and do an interview with Bella then? Yeah. Bella, we got you. Bella, we got you. I'm sorry. We got you, Bella. Oh my God. I've just realized that you four together would be an absolute nightmare. Let's go. Get her on the horn. It would be so good. Bells. Let's go. Hell's bells. Honestly, we should call her right now and talk this through because I really feel like she needs... I want to be on... She needs... Get her on the horn. Get her on the horn. Get her on the horn. Get her on the horn.

I'll call her in a second. Why don't we... We were having a nice chat about the song. Yeah, okay, great. Let's rewind to that time. Let's not ruin it. Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's play new Haim. It is called Relationships. It's on The Breakfast Show now. Radio One Breakfast. That is Relationships by Haim. Woo!

Who are with me on The Breakthrough Show. They're going to be at Radio 1 Speaking Kent in Liverpool. Let's go. Let's go. And here ends the pleasantries. Things are about to get horrible for me. So I have to say, before whatever happens now, it's been a pleasure to see you again. I think we know who I'm going to go with, but I would love to hear both sides of the argument. The thing about this is she doesn't know that I've even talked about this on the radio. Oh, I got this. Oh my God. Hello? Hi, Bella.

You're on with Haim. Hi, Haim. Hi. Hi. Bella, do you know that I talked about the sugar thing on the radio the other day? Fine. Yes, Bella, you are 100% in the right. Powdered sugar...

Sometimes you just need the validation of other women. Because honestly, I was being gaslit and it made me feel like I wasn't safe in the relationship. Honestly, this is the exact reason why we wanted to get on the phone with you, just to let you know. Honestly, this has made me feel stronger and more able to deal with the situation that I'm in, which is being married to this man.

this man. That is why we're here, Bella. We're going to give Greg collectively our numbers. I could just have a committee of women to just text back and say, Greg, you're being insane. Stop. Be quiet. You're wrong. In the next fight, I just want you to be like, hold on. I'm calling Haim. Haim.

1-800-HANG. And it's a free phone number, right? It's not, you know, I'm not going to be charged. It's not a premium rate. No, text messaging rates do not apply. Yes. Oh, girls. Rain or shine. Rick, what are you saying here? Are you rowing back here or are you sort of standing tall? I will allow whatever sugar you want on your pancakes, but I am going to have granulated on mine. Everyone clap for Greg.

Don't clap for Greg. We're clapping for the fact that he has agreed to compromise. Yes. How about that? Compromising. Okay, this is growth. I like it. This is good. I'll take it. I'll take it. You are correct. And just because this is the BBC, maybe for a bit of balance of time when I was maybe, I don't know, amazing.

No, we don't want to hear that. Not today. We're going to apply for that. When we come back when we play Liverpool, we'll unpack the rest of this stuff. Live therapy session. Oh, can you invite Bella to Big Weekend? Because she's never actually been. Bella, you have to come to Big Weekend. I've never been invited. Well, until now. You don't like crowds. I don't like it. We'll walk through the crowd like a shield for you. So you won't even know.

This is great. Can I just join the band? It sounds like a nice life. 100%. Get it on the bus. I'm worried for a second you're creating the shield away from me. Yeah. Maybe you might have to. That was implied, babe. All right. Love you lots. Okay, love you. Thank you. Bye. Bye.

Sweetest angel. You're a very lucky man. Bye, girls. Bye, girls. I love her. She's so sweet. She's our girl now. Yeah, she's our girl now. She's amazing. I can't wait to be invited to Pancake Day. When is Pancake Day? Because I need to check up and make sure that there's powdered sugar there for our Queen Bella. Is there a Sunday roast and a Pancake Day? Is it like the same thing? It can be, but I'm going to be away for it next year anyway. Okay, great. Okay, great. Let's take a pause and we'll come back with unpopular opinion next on The Breakfast Show with Holly.

Radio One's Day Breakfast. It is the Radio One Breakfast Show with me, Greg James, who has been completely schooled by four very brilliant women this morning. I want us to come back to, remember when we did Bleak Mornings? Let's go back to that happiness. Or even before that, when Greg came on the bus. Oh!

Remember that? I was going to mention this. This is when we first met. Yeah, I know. It was at Tea in the Park, wasn't it? In Scotland. Yes. I was hanging out on your tour bus with a film crew. Yeah, you were winging out. Yeah, great fun. Great times. So much fun. We've been through it. Also a core memory. I remember that like it was yesterday. I'm pleased you remember that because I do too. So that would have been Days Are Gone era. Yeah. That was over 10 years ago. Right at the beginning. Let's go.

Let's do Unpopular Opinion and we need you to sing, please. So here we go. Oh, my gosh. Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up till now that you've been scared to say. Right. You can get it next time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now you're up. We go to Holly. Potatoes are disgusting. Everyone is delusional. Whoa. Wait, this is... Okay. Holly, what about french fries? Yeah. No. Really? No, really. Some chips. No.

No one likes them. You just want the toppings that go on top, like the ketchup or the salt. No one likes them. Everyone loves chips. Everyone loves fries. I can't. Holly, I'm trying. We're going to have to unpack this one day. So, Holly, this is interesting to me. So what happens when you are served a potato when you're around a friend's house? Are you like, how dare you? Or do you insult them by not eating them and leaving them to the side? Mm-hmm.

Oh, no, I don't eat them. No. Got you. Absolutely not. It's just like mushy, tasteless, like ground. No. It's not good. There is a thing about getting a bad spud. Yeah. That is such a thing. I've had a chip that has, you know, some funky stuff going on in there. And, you know, it's sad, but we move on because there's so many in a basket. Nothing worse than a limp chip. What would you have instead of a potato element or a fry element in your life?

I'm famous for having rice with my roast dinner. Oh, it's you. She is the famous rice with her dinner lady. I like that. I like that. We'll accept that. Yeah. It's a good carb sub. It's fine. Yeah. Okay. Holly, thanks for being on the show. Thank you, Holly. You're the best. Thank you. Have a great rest of your life. Let's go again. Wait. What's the jingle again? Okay. Okay.

Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up till now that you've been scared to say. Something up till now that you're afraid. That you've been scared to say? That you've been scared to say. Not afraid. Come and give us your unpopular opinion.

I got the end. I got the end. I got the beginning. It's actually quite esty, isn't it? Like in its rhythms, it's quite... That is very... I feel like you guys are really lucky. It's like a high-em coded jingle. It's a high-em coded jingle. Next up, we have Jess. Hi, Greg. My unpopular opinion is that flip-flops are to be worn all year round and there should be no judgment.

My reasoning is that people in Australia wear flip flops all year round and no one bats an eyelid over there. I'm currently on my dog walk in shorts and flip flops and I've definitely had a few people raise their eyebrows at me as they've gone past. 100% agree. I agree. No judges at all. I just got into them. I don't know. You just got into flip flops? Yeah. Really? I did. I don't know. I'm into it.

I think I've always been into it. Yeah. Not here, though. No, I don't think I've ever worn a flip-flop here. When the sun's out, you know, sky's out, eyes out. When the sun's out, bunions out. Yes.

I love it. Okay, well, Jess has got a unanimous vote of confidence. We're the perfect three people to have that unpopular opinion because we agree. I agree. I think it's pretty popular. Skies are always out where we're from. One more unpopular opinion? Yes, let's do it. I feel like I shouldn't sort of, I don't want to constrain you with my lyrics. Okay. Why don't you just give it a go? You don't need me here.

I want to hear all of your unpopular opinions. Give them to me, I want to know all them now. Give them to me now, give them to me now. Give them to me now, give them to me now. I am the judge, the jury, I'm the lawyer. I am the judge, the jury, yes I am. Wow, that was great. Kieran! Stop posting on social media when you go for a 5k. Nobody cares how fast you run.

I think I agree because I can't run a 5K. And I think it's more just like a jealousy problem. Like I'm down for you to post them, but like just know that I'm sitting in my bed with my face mask on crying that I can't run a 5K. We're not runners. No, we're not runners. We're not runners. Kieran, let's talk about your exercise regime. Are you a runner? Are you an exercisee? Are you a cleaner? Not a poster, but do you just do it because it's a thing for you? No.

Same. Same. I agree. Yeah.

That feels bad. Remove them as a friend. You mean on social media or in life? Boundaries are important, Kieran. Boundaries are really important, so I'm with you. Do you like walking? What about walking? Yeah, is walking okay? Nah, I mean, there's no need to post about it if you've gone for a walk. But do you like walking?

Walking's okay. Yeah, like going for a little walk. So we could go for a walk. Yeah, let's go. I'll go for a walk. And we won't post about it. We won't post about it. It can be our little secret. You know what I mean, Kieran? Yeah, that's perfect. Okay, great. Kieran, thanks for being on the show. No problem. Thank you. That's a great and popular opinion.

Haim, you're great. It's been so nice to hang out today. We love you a lot. I love you a lot too. And we're looking forward to the new album. We don't know. Let's start with relationship. Let's just start with the song. Stop being so coy. It doesn't suit you.

I think it's really fared us pretty well in the past. Yeah. You know? It gives us an excuse to come back. Great. Okay, we'll come back when the album's been announced. Bella will be here. Yeah, Bella's going to be in studio. We'll get her to go on. We're going to be here. She'd do a great interview with you. Lee.

It's like a family reunion. Yeah. Bread to go. Yeah. You can bring us sandwiches, maybe. Bunch of potatoes. Yeah. Great. And then we'll go for a run. Kieran can bring his running shoes. And we can post about it. It's a perfect day. Great. I love that. Thanks so much for coming in. We'll see you in Liverpool for Big Weekend. Yay! Doug says, Haim on the radio in the morning is like having one of those ginger shots. It just feels good.

I think it's a little something stronger than that, having Haim in the room with you. They're amazing. I love having them on. Luce in Northampton says, they are so much, just what I needed today. Really enjoyed that. JP in Cobra is disgusted. The potatoes thing, the backbone of the world, says JP.

Saying, Holly, that is absolutely disgraceful. Yeah, a lot of chat about the unpopular opinion. That's the point, isn't it? Get your talking. Dan in Leicester also, on the other side of it, feels seen. He says, I couldn't agree more. I've pretty much hated potatoes in any form. And someone's finally said it. Richard's in Hertfordshire and really enjoyed their energy today. Paul in Warwick, hi to you.

Someone give them their own show, says Ashley Nottingham. Faye's in Milton Keynes and says, oh my God, I love Bella. Greg, your wife is amazing. Yeah, she's good. I felt a little outnumbered. They've definitely just formed a sisterhood and that's it now. Claire in Lisbon says, Bella plus Haim has made my day today. Yeah, the lesser spotted Bella as well.

Good voice notes coming in. When the cold goes, get out your toes. Yeah, nice. Sun's out, bunions out was the other one, wasn't it? Also... Well, Greg, listening to you and Haim for breakfast, as crazy as having Weetabix and spaghetti, coax the trucker from Wakefield. Yeah, nice. And we can make that into a new... Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James. As crazy as having Weetabix and spaghetti.

Really good. Love them. And I can't wait to have them in Liverpool. Next up, let's do all the latest things. Radio One's All Day Breakfast with Great James. Miley Cyrus. There's new music on the way from her. This is what it sounds like. Very dramatic. She's releasing a visual album called Something Beautiful.

I mean, I don't know. It sounds good. I don't know what it means. A unique visual experience fueled by fantasy is what she said. Again, that doesn't mean anything. But we're excited for the music. Like she's doing a pop opera. We like that about Miley. She always tries something new. So that's coming out at the end of May. Next up, a big public service announcement from Docey.

She's amazing. She's great fun. She's had huge success in the last year or so with her album, Alligator Bites Never Heal. She got that huge anxiety track, which is going to be number one. She won the Grammy for best rap album this year. But more than that, more importantly than that, she's done this service. One thing about me, I'm going to fart. I'm a grown woman.

I've gone through a lot in this country. I'm gonna fart. It's good to know. You know what, Dochi? Do your farts. I am a human girl. I'm not a machine. I'm gassy. I'm gonna fart. And it is what it is. We've had quite a farty show today already, actually. There was a question in yesterday's quiz about that, saying that anything more than 25 is actually deemed excessive farting.

And I've encouraged the listeners, and if you've just switched on, I'm encouraging you to count yours and then report back to me tomorrow. Okay? Start the clock now.

And finally, a really good bit from Jimmy Fallon and Mumford & Sons. Marcus Mumford was on Jimmy Fallon's talk show in America. And Marcus had a bone to pick with Jimmy. He brought up an introduction that Jimmy had done when they performed on Saturday Night Live recently. And he was quite cross about it. I was excited. I was like, Jimmy's going to introduce us. This is really sweet, you know. It'll probably go into our history or he'll talk about how many times we've played SNL. And this was the introduction.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mumford and Sons. That was it. Marcus was not impressed. What the hell, bro? There were so many things you could have said. I understand that. So there's an opportunity for Jimmy to right those wrongs, and he did just that. Mumford and Sons were performing on Jimmy's show again and decided to do, this time, a proper introduction. Please welcome the man that needs no introduction. CHEERING

They've won two Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards and four Billboard Music Awards. It's really nice and it keeps going a bit. In June 2008, they made their first appearance at the Glastonbury Festival and from there they traveled around the world performing in front of moderately sized yet passionate crowds. Still going into the history. I'm talking about Marcus Mumford, Ted Duane and Ben Lovett. Marcus is the lead singer.

He grew up and went to school in Wimbledon, southwest London. He does the whole backstory. It lasts about four minutes. I won't play the whole thing, but eventually... Rushmere, out this Friday, March 28th. Ladies and gentlemen, Mumford and Sons! And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Next up, a quiz. Here's Rachel. One! Every single day on this breakfast show, we do yesterday's quiz. This week, a really fun team of sisters...

All four from Somerset, originally. But Rachel, you're not in Somerset. Where are you? Currently in Morocco. Oh my God, what a life you're living. I know, living the best life at the moment. Tell us about your trip. What are you doing? How long have you been doing it for?

So we took a sabbatical from work. So normally I'm an NHS nurse. But yeah, we took a sabbatical for a year. And we've currently been in Morocco for two and a half months. And before that, we were in Europe traveling to Morocco. So yeah, we're in our little converted van.

My boyfriend's six foot and it's a tiny van, so it is a tight squeeze. Yeah, that's tricky for him. I guess you get used to it. You're just walking around hunched up all the time. But living that outdoor life. Yeah, definitely. We spend more time outside. Yeah, I was going to say, that's so nice. On your form here that I've got in front of me, it says that you're currently on Vannual leave, which I really like.

Yeah, that's what we call it, Vannu Leaves. Yeah, we've got an Instagram account that we keep everyone updated on. Oh, great. Which is called Vannu Leaves. And so where next? Where after Morocco? Where do you go? So after Morocco, we're heading over to Italy, but we'll come out. We've got a family holiday in Spain, which we can't wait for with the girls. Yeah. And then, yeah, then we head through Italy and...

And then from there, we've not really got a solid plan yet. We kind of make up as we go along. That's fine. You don't need one. You've got a van. You can take that baby anywhere. So as we tend to do, if you do declare yourself as an NHS legend, you immediately get a bonus point on yesterday's quiz. Even though you're on sabbatical, but it still counts. Still counts. So it's been a great week this week. I don't expect that you've listened to the other two days, or have you managed to catch up on stuff?

Yeah, no, we listen. I do listen most mornings anyway whilst we're travelling. It's really nice. Oh, that's nice. It kind of stops me from feeling homesick. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I really like it. Well, I'm glad that you still keep in touch with all the latest things, quite literally. Well, that'll put you in good stead for the quiz then. So, 15 points yesterday from Emily, 11 from Lily on Monday. Rachel, let's do it. FIRE!

Dingers, please. There we go. So you're already on one. Here we go with question number one. Miley Cyrus. Yes. Wicked. Yes.

They drool. They drool. They drool. They drool. They drool. They drool. They drool. They drool. An escaped kangaroo was captured in South Carolina. Make a noise like a kangaroo on the run. Good. Two points for that. It was Mikey Madison's birthday. But which movie did she star in that won her an Oscar recently? Mikey Madison. Mikey Madison. It was Best Picture at the Oscars as well.

Oh, I don't know. It was a film called Onora. A study into excessive flatulence encouraged Australians to chart their farts. But what's considered excessive farting? More than 25 farts a day or more than 250 farts a day? 250. No. Interestingly, let's stop the clock here. More than 25 is considered excessive farting. Tom? I mean, it's up there. Some people fart a lot. Yeah, it's not far away.

Can I ask a question? How many, Rachel, a day? I don't know. I don't count. Maybe like, I don't know, maybe I do like 50 a day or something. 50? Susanna? Yeah, I don't know. Amy? About 10. 10? Already today? I don't know. I'll count today. I'll count today and then I'll let Evelyn know and she can tell you tomorrow. I'd really like that, actually. I'd really like that. Let's restart the clock.

We talked about Haim coming in on The Breakfast Show today. Yeah, I've worked for this anyway. I feel like I've given some good content there. Okay, yeah, all right. Someone's relaxed in Morocco. Okay, next question. We talked about Haim coming on The Breakfast Show today. How many sisters are in that band? Three. Yes, Livingston played Falkirk in the Scottish Championship yesterday. But which Breakfast Show newsreader supports Livingston? The Breakfast Show newsreader. The lovely Scottish man. He does the news. He does the news. His name is... Callum. Yes. Callum.

That's fine. We'll take Callum. Callum Leslie. Rachel Chinariri was in British Vogue, but which espresso singer is she currently supporting on tour? Sabrina Carpenter. Yes, and it was National Waffle Day. Name something you can put on a waffle. Maple syrup. Good. And with that, that is your time up. Good chat today. Loads of stuff going on in that quiz.

Sorry. No, no, no, not at all. Please don't apologise for being fun. That was... You got your point anyway for being in the NHS. Yeah. That takes you to 11 points. 11? I thought I got more than Lily. 11 is exactly the same as Lily today. And, well, look, we'll see how it goes as the rest of the week unfolds. But in a weird way, I sort of want all four of you on the final, so we'll see if that happens. Anyway, Rachel... Oh, God, that's going to be chaos. I don't think you want to do that.

I'm quite up for the challenge. And I'm also excited to hear about how many farts you do today. So please make sure you tell. I've got tally now. Good. Rachel, thanks for being on this morning. Enjoy your wonderful day in the sunshine. How hot is it today? Make us jealous. Like 25, you think, today?

But I'm happy for you. All right. Speak to you soon, Rachel. Thanks. Thanks so much. Have a good day. Happy farting. So Rachel actually appeared back on the show later when we did a fart update.

The official fart first look. It's been quite the morning. Not only have we had Haim on, we were talking about a study in yesterday's quiz. One of the questions was this. A study into excessive flatulence encouraged Australians to chart their farts. But what's considered excessive farting? Is it more than 25 or more than 250 farts a day? Rachel was playing the quiz today. What was your answer?

250. Yeah, you went high with that. That might be a problem, 250 farts a day. But I do think 20, I think 25, which is the right answer, is quite low, isn't it? Well, I think so. But then now this morning, since I've been counting my farts, I don't know, actually. I feel like maybe 25 is my average. How many have you done so far? Five this morning.

Five so far today. But bear in mind, we don't have a toilet in the van, so, you know. Yeah, well, I should get people up to speed with your life, that you are a nurse, but you've taken a sabbatical and you're currently on a vanual leave where you're just driving around the world in a van and you're currently in Morocco. Yeah, correct. What a nice life. Hello, lovely. Like lots of aunties on Facebook say, I've been doing my own research...

So I've been doing my own research, which is always a dangerous phrase. And according to the British Society of Gastroenterology, which I'm sure you're familiar with being a medical professional, humans pass gas between 13 to 21 times per day. Yeah, I have read that too this morning. I've also done some research. Done your own research, have you? Yeah, done my own research. So, fine.

Five so far for you. We've been asking the listeners also to track their own farts today. It really has been happening. Counting the farts, as OneRepublic would say.

And Jake's here. Hi, Jake. How many are you on? Just two at the minute. Two. Okay. Yeah. No stops this morning. I don't want anyone sort of straining because that's bad, isn't it, Rachel? That's bad for you doing that sort of thing. Yeah, bad. Don't strain. Yeah, don't push them out. But just, you know, this is good. So you're just letting it, you're just letting the fart happen. Yeah, it's just got to be natural. Yeah, like sometimes my boyfriend really pushes out his farts. But I tell him, you've just got to let it flow. You can't be pushing them.

This is actually a discussion we're having on the radio, isn't it? Right now I've just realised that. Jake, so you're just letting the fart come to you, don't push the fart? Yeah, just letting them come. The first one came the minute you started the clock, the first one came. Yeah, okay. That's good. Can I ask what you had for breakfast this morning? I've had granola and Greek yoghurt, but I've just had my first boiled egg of the day, so...

First boiled egg of the day. How many boiled eggs are you having a day? Two to three. Two to three? Are you doing protein gains? No, I'm just watching what I eat. Rather than eating chocolate and sausage rolls, I'm eating eggs and grapes. Rather than chocolate and sausage rolls, you're having eggs and grapes. Oh, yes, the famous eggs and grapes diet. Oh, yeah. That's...

Too many eggs does... It might back you up a little bit. Do you know what I mean? It might be quite... Yeah, you might need some more roughage there, don't you think, Rachel? Would you advise that? Yeah, maybe. Just... I don't know. I do eat a lot of eggs too lately whilst we've been travelling. A lot of eggs, so... Any grapes? I don't know.

No grapes. No, not the eggs and grapes diet for you, though. No. Okay, that's just for Jake. Jake, you could start a whole new movement with this, literally. A whole bowel movement. You could be the new, what was that diet called? The Atkins, whatever it was called. Atkins. Yeah, you could be the Atkins diet and you could just do eggs and grapes. All right, Jake, thank you. Let's check in with Will. What's your count?

I'm on eight so far. I don't know whether it's the nerves. That being on the radio? Yeah. So you've had eight so far today. Eight before ten, I guess, is quite... You're on course for maybe a world record today. I don't know about anyone else, but mine seem to come in waves. I'm not really just like a one-fart man at a time, sort of.

Yeah. No, I'm definitely not a gastro expert. No.

Are you listening now and are you a gas connoisseur? A gas man or woman? Do you know your farts? Is that your area of expertise?

We need to legitimise this experiment. We need a fart expert to tell us exactly how to collect this data, how to do it properly. And I think that's what we should use the power of this breakfast show for now. That's what I've decided. Rachel, thank you so much. We won't keep interrupting your holiday, but it's been very good having you on The Breakfast Show twice today. That's OK. Good to be back. And as I said earlier, happy farting. That's good, isn't it?

You need a bit of everything, don't you, sometimes on a breakfast show? I'll be back tomorrow with Thursday. We'll do some other fun stuff as well, which we're about to work out. So just trust us, OK? And come back for more tomorrow. See you. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. Actually, Sian and Larry, that is booked in. We can bank on that. One!
