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 here come the best bits of today's show. We'll hit you with a big guest to start with. It's Leo Woodall. Hello, thank you for having me. Thursday morning treat this is and we've got so much stuff to talk about. You're in a Bridget Jones movie is the main thing. Yeah.

But before we get to that, I just want to tell the listeners where we first met. And I hope you remember. It was last summer. Yes. It was at the gym. I just joined a new gym. I was very excited. And actually, no offense, who's the worst person to see as you join a new gym? As you want to like make yourself...

Feel a bit better. Maybe get a bit fitter. I see you, this rippling hunk, walking towards me. I'm like, oh, for God's sake. You are. You're very... That's good. But we had a nice chat. I panicked and I was like, oh my God, Leo, nice to meet you. I love the white lotus. You were cool as a cucumber. So welcome to The Breakfast Show. Thank you. What a mad few years you've had. It's going all right. The last couple of years have been pretty sweet. We've been very, very lucky. So let's go through...

Three big shows you've been part of recently. So White Lotus, One Day, and we'll get into Bridget Jones. From White Lotus, I'd say everyone fell in love with you is their bit of rough. Okay. Fair to say. Okay. I wouldn't say everyone. There were definitely some people that thought, I never want to see that man. The bad guy. Ever.

Then in One Day, you were the man that everyone wanted to fix. Uh-huh. And I think... The tortured soul. The tortured soul. And I think in Bridget Jones, because it's called Mad About the Boy, you're the boy. I'm the boy. So for those who don't know, the third one ends with her getting married to Mark Darcy, right? Yes.

And then in the following few years, he sadly dies. So she's widowed. And then up pops Rockstar, which is you. Rockstar. And you're the first person she's kind of been attracted to and been with. Yeah. Tell us about Rockstar.

Well, he works as a park ranger on the Hampstead Heath and he stumbles upon this woman hanging from a tree and her two children stuck up it even higher and...

And he rescues them. Yeah. They sort of get a smile for each other. Let's go through your characters that I mentioned a minute ago. And I want your take on who you think is the best boyfriend out of these people. So let's go for Jack, first of all. How am I supposed to be? He's got to live every day as it comes, do you know what I mean? Yeah.

That's what I do anyway. Don't mind. Wise man, wise man at least. Love that. You know what I mean? He's such a geezer. What a geezer. You're a Chelsea fan? Yes. They made you a West Ham fan in that. They didn't. Did they not? I did. You did? Yeah, I was a real sort of snake with that one. Why did you do that? Because it just made sense. And, you know, and I thought, you know, let's get a hammer. He'll be a hammer. Okay, so that's Jack and the White Lotus. Maybe not a great boyfriend. No.

No. Fun boyfriend, not a good boyfriend. Funtime boy. Then we've got Rockstar. How old are you? 28. Oh. No, I'm just kidding. I'm 29. What do you make of him as a boyfriend? Boyfriend material. I mean, compared to Jack, he might, I think he'd edge it. He's got a good soul. My personal favourite, Dexter in One Day. Just pick up the phone, Emma. If you're there, just pick up.

Pick up, pick up, pick up. Oh, Dexter. He's a sensitive boy. Sensitive boy. So what is it? Is it a little bit of each? Who's the best one? I'm going to, I think, I'm going to go Dexter. As the best one? I think so. I think maybe early days, slightly problematic, but he comes good.

Alright, so, you know, we've been talking all about Bridget Jones, Mad About The Boy. You are that boy. It's such a big film. It's so massive. Billboards, buses. It's so famous. Yeah, it is. It's a big deal. You know, I got sent a picture this morning of this...

giant photo of me on a tube. And I know that was there for one day, a little bit. But this is like next level. Big head. Big head on a tube. This is big head. Let's do one public opinion. Leo...

Do you want to do some singing? Yeah. Let's have a sing song. Yeah, come on. Let's have a little sing song. A little sing song. Come on then. Okay. We've got some unpopular opinions and we go... Come and give us your unpopular opinions. Something up till now that you've been scared to say. Very good. For a first go. Very good. Let's practice singing in the car. We start with Warren. Hi, Warren. Supporting a football team when you're not from that place is pointless. Oh. Oh.

I might fall under that bracket. I technically should support QPR. I grew up in Sheppard's Bush. And you've gone... I've gone Chelsea. And you've gone Chelsea. But it's still London. It's too far. Did you grow up in North London?

I actually didn't. I grew up in South... I'm actually from Bromley, so really I should have been a Millwall fan. Yeah. Or Crystal Palace. Or... Yeah. I don't... I mean, I'm one of those people that I think it's okay if it's close by. I have a couple of friends who are from South England and support Liverpool, and I think that's odd. Well, we've got a Welsh Man United fan here. Okay. In the room. Producer Tom.

Well, I mean, Warren, why don't you have a little chat with Tom? I think you two are probably my most fireworks with this. Warren? You're on with Tom. Hello, Tom. Hey, Warren, how are you going? I'm obviously fine, and you? Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.

Hit me. I think that if you can't support a football team, unless you're from there, basically. Well, my... So, lots of my family support Manchester United, so that's why I support Manchester United. And I also support Barrytown, so that's how I try and make it that I'm, like, actually a real football fan. Barrytown's a good one. Do you know what? He's from... Oh, well, it's Team 2. That's OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out, Barrytown. Shout out, Barrytown. Where are you from, Warren? I'm from Bedford. And

And do you support Bedford United? No, Bedford Town. No, not a football fan. Oh, OK. And you're not even a football... Oh, come on, Warren. So why have you got this right? I think you've got to be a football fan before you throw your hat in this ring. Warren, thank you so much for being on. That's OK. Thank you. Cheers. Thanks, Warren. Let's do another one. Let's sing. You sing every time. You have to. Oh, come and give us your applause.

popular opinion something up till now that you've been scared to say and we go to Sophie's one now okay so my unpopular opinion is that hay fever doesn't exist oh the little baby in the background yeah

Hay fever doesn't exist. People just get a bit snotty and they get a bit of sore throat and whatever, but that's just life, you know? And they get itchy eyes now and again, but we all get itchy eyes. So people take hay fever medication and they still get hay fever. So, yeah, it's just not a thing.

I think it's all a racket. That's life. Do you get hay fever? I don't, well, no. See, I don't think I get proper hay fever, so. It's interesting this, because my wife, Bella, says that I am weak because I get hay fever. She is also in this camp. She doesn't think it exists. Do you get the itchy iris? It winds me up so much, Leo, I can't tell you.

Is it so horrible? You're laughing at me now like it's a joke. I kind of am. Hay fever is not a joke. It's a serious affliction. Yes, it is. It's incredibly serious. But do you get the itchy eyes? Itchy eyes. Or you just get a cold a lot. No, it's not a cold. It's not a cold. To the point where whenever I sneeze in the house, Bella, wherever she's in the house, she'll go, wake!

Just turn into this. What kind of sneeze? I mean, it might be just your sneeze. What kind of sneeze have you got? I do have a very ladylike sneeze. Is it a ladylike sneeze? A-choo! A-choo! A-choo! Weak! And let's go again. Someone else is patiently waiting on the phone and we sing. Come and give us your unpopular opinion. Something up till now that you've been scared to say.

And we now go to Kieran. Crisps are the most overrated food. They are vile and disgusting. Crisps? Kieran? Crisps? This is what the whole country's built on. We are a nation of crisps. Yeah, that's our cuisine. I'd say that's our cuisine. I just... I can't like it. I just feel kind of bad for you, mate. So, Leo, I know you keep in shape, but I know you also... Sometimes. Sometimes.

I know you'd be partial to a Sunday afternoon sitting in a pub and what are you picking? Is this lunch or snack?

Interesting. Snack first. Snack first. I love, if it's like a nice gastropub, I love a good Scotch egg. Like a good Scotch egg is a nice little warm-up to the roast. Would you ever graduate to a pickled? No. No. Surely there's some crisps that you like. None whatsoever. Nothing? No. I just think it's like weird food combinations that should not exist. And it's also like things like the smells that come off certain crisps. Like why would you eat a pickled onion crisp?

I get that. What about just the kettle salt and vinegar? See, vinegar, I do not like either. And that's an oil of food composition that shouldn't exist. Pringles? Twiglets. Have you ever had twiglet? Yes, but when I was very little. Doritos? Doritos, no. Surely there's a Dorito you like. A Quaver? Nope. I can't believe it. You can't find it. Skips? Skips.

Nope. Nothing. Mini cheddars. Mini cheddars. Mini cheddars. Mini cheddars. Nope. What's not to like? I'm not sure that's a crisp, though. It comes in a crisp packet, but I'm not entirely sure that's a crisp. If you have a meal deal, are you just sort of leaving the crisps? Leaving the crisps and get something like a chocolate bar of some sort. Yeah, yeah. All right. Amazing. That's a great unpopular opinion. It is a great one. Kieran, thanks so much for being on the show. No problem.

Off he goes. No problem. Ta-ra. Ta-ra. Bye-bye. Should we have an unpopular opinion from you? Have you got one? I have lots. I wish I had one. I can sing to you. Yeah, go on. Come and give us your unpopular opinions. Something up till now that you've been scared to say, Leo Woodall. What's the thing you've been scared to say? Hot showers. You don't like them? No. Oh. I like them.

warm shower. Yeah. But a hot shower. Yeah. I need it like lukewarm. Kind of lukewarm, yeah. I don't like cold.

I'm getting some odd looks from you. This is good, this is good, this is good. I just think, you know, if you've had one of those hot showers, you come out and your skin's all red and it's just like, why would you want close to boiling water smacking you in the back or the face or wherever? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just think I'll never get it. Are you a barter?

Occasionally, yeah. But you have to be careful. Again, I have to really... I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to water. You're a sensitive king. I'm a sensitive boy. Yeah, you are. That's good. So it's warm baths and warm showers. I think it's a really good unpopular opinion. For my lukewarm personality. I think it's really good. It's a great unpopular opinion. Leo, thanks so much for being on today. Thank you. And good luck with this film. And whatever comes next, because you're on this course for superstardom and it's very exciting to see.

Thank you. It's very, very happy to be here. There you go. Nice man. Hope you enjoyed that. There'll be some nice videos on the radio on socials you can get your teeth into. Little thirst traps we've set for you. Next up, I think we'll go back to the start of today's show because there was some treachery afoot. Came into work today, Callum. Let me tell you a little story. Gather round. The breakfast team were very eager to show me a video that they said, this reminds us of you.

And it was of a cool animal from London Zoo. Okay. Rocky the ostrich. I like it, yeah. All right, okay. Yeah, yeah, all right. And they said, well, watch this video because he really reminds us of you because he's like, well, he's... This is one of his flirting dances. So he does like to do that quite a lot towards us. He's a very flirty boy. Flirty boy? I'd say I'm a flirty boy when I want. I think that's fair. Um...

I might do a little flirty dance to entertain people. And then, so, Flirty Boy. He's a very flirty boy. A bit more about Rocky here. He likes to display to us a lot. Likes to display a lot. Okay. I like showing off. Yeah, me too. Doing fun stuff. So there's that.

He's quite a proud male, I'd like to say. Quite a proud male. And he's also a handsome, it's a handsome thing as well. Okay. And I scrolled down and looked at the, looked at the caption they've used. Oh no. They said, he's a nice boy, but he's got the brain the size of a walnut. And I was duped, which I think does prove the point as well. Welcome to this morning's breakfast show.

I'm surrounded by people that mock me for three and a half hours and I think you're all going to have a nice time. So here I am, the walnut-brained Greg James. But I do look strong and powerful like an ostrich. Next up, I think we'll get you up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. All the latest things. And let's get you up to date with everything and we start with Gracie Abrams. She's been giving dating advice to Cosmopolitan's magazine readers.

One reader asked if she would give her phone password out to a boyfriend. I've never, ever been with someone where I'm like, I need to know your phone password. That freaks me out.

I'm okay with it. I'm fine. Everyone knows, partners wise, Amy, does Shane know your password? Yeah, he does. Very? Yeah. I'm okay with it. You know my password. I know your password. I was about to say it then. It's fine. Mine's a rude word because it's always good when someone says, oh, what's your password? And I have to say, yeah. I'm not going to tell you what rude word it is. It's maybe my favourite word.

So it's a no on the password from Gracie Abrams. What about the kind of texts you receive at 2am? You know, the you up kind of texts. I don't believe in WID at 2am on the weekends only. If you're getting asked at 2am, are you answering? No, not today. It's all missing you up text. That's sort of the only thing I miss about being married. No, no, I don't mean... Don't be shocked at that. It's exhilarating, isn't it?

Depends where it's from, doesn't it? Depends where it's from. I'm not saying I want any. I'm just saying it's nice. It's a nice thing. Anyway, I'm always asleep now. The answer is no, I'm not. I'm never up.

What else we got? I saw I got a you up text from our boss, Aled, this morning. He texted me just before I woke up, are you up? Sorry if I've woken you up. It wasn't anything, you know. Let's move on. So, next we go to Jurassic Park. There's a brand new Jurassic Park film on the way. But don't groan. Don't groan, because I think it's going to be a good one. Life, uh...

Finds a way. But it's impossible to make all of those films good. It's just very difficult. Making a film is probably very difficult. There's a new one called Jurassic World Rebirth, a brand new cast. So Scarlett Johansson and a guy that we love very much, Jonathan Bailey, is going to be in it. And the pair are hiding. Well, they're heading, sorry, to a secretive island. No one's dumb enough to go where we're going. This island was the research facility for the original Jurassic Park.

We need DNA from the three biggest dinosaurs. So I think it's going to be good. We know what's going to happen. They're all like, oh no, it possibly couldn't happen again. Just allow that to happen. But I think it will be good. It's been written by the guy that wrote the original one back in the day. They're helping the Mosasaur defend territory, stalk, hunt. None of what you just said is good. That's Jonathan Bailey doing an American accent, isn't it? Yeah. That's him, yeah. They're helping the Mosasaur defend territory, stalk...

Hunt. Yeah, I like that. Coming out in July this year. And finally to the world of gaming.

It's the Sims 25th birthday and they've got a load of celebs to help them celebrate. Doja Cat was doing a live stream with an iconic Sims character. I make 15 Bella Goths. Could have been interesting to make maybe 300 of them and we are going to make them run amok. We've got an ugly Victorian house that they can start off in. Kim Petras got involved as well, recording a very special version of her track Triple X. Z Blue!

Very good. Ken Petrus doing Simlish and with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Also today, it was a very strange moment where I received a letter from Vanuri.

Who decided to wear a disguise, even though she's been in the room all morning with me. I just did what I was told to. Oh, well. You look weird. Thanks. But it's funny. Got my attention. Throughout February, we do a thing called Mega Massive Mondays. And, um...

Something very strange is happening to my left. As I've said many times before, the people that do this show with me really, really love messing with me. And that's fine, isn't it? That's fine. I give it out, so I've got to take it. Vanuri, what the hell are you doing? They've made Vanuri dress up like an assassin. Like a ninja. You're wearing sunglasses inside. You've got your hood up.

And what, have you got a letter for me? OK. Let me... Let me play the scary music. Thanks, Vanuri. You look absolutely insane. So I've been handed a big, oversized letter. So throughout February, on Mondays, we do things a little differently, but I'm about to find out what's going to happen this Mega Massive Monday.

Okay. It's been printed out on A3. I'm not that old. My vision is still very good. Dear Radio 1 presenter, as previously communicated, Mondays in February must be both mega and massive. And this Monday, your shows must also be mum-based. That's right. It's Mega Massive Mum Day. Okay. Okay.

They've run out of ideas. Don't tell anyone, but they've run out of ideas. We've got the title, but nothing else. So it's over to you. Your challenge this Monday is to massively mummify your shows. Your choice how? Yours sincerely, Radio 1's mega massive management. All right.

Well, immediately. Hang on, let me find my... Where can I find my mummy? My mummy... Putting the word mummify in there is a dreadful idea. Hang on a second. Because if I'm going to mummify the show, it's going to be... But that mummy from the news from a few years ago, they said, we've worked out what a mummy would sound like. That. It's one of the best noises ever. It's a noise that we also all do in our lives now. We just go...

Or we could also do the, I've got the Lana Del Rey one. Yeah, so we do a day of mothers. Mother! Or do a day of mummifying people. Order lots of toilet paper and just wrap people up. This could be a great day ever. Great day ever.

So that's this Monday, Mega Massive Mum Day. A lot of you, well, two of you, I just want to make it sound like more because it might put pressure on management. Loads of you are saying we should fly to Egypt to go and do the show there. If we're doing Mega Massive Mum Day, we mummify the whole thing, you know, the home of the mummies. Maybe do your show from one of the pyramids, maybe atop a pyramid. Not no. What did the letter, the letter did say...

It's over to you. Your challenge is to mummify the show. Your choice how. See you in Egypt. See you later. That was what the listeners wanted.

Steph says, I do not recommend calling your mum mega massive to her face. Yeah, no, it's a weird thing. I think it was very much a name first feature, wasn't it? Dave's in Durham. Mega massive mum day sounds like a gathering of middle-aged women. Yeah, that's essentially what it will be, I think. Luke's in Southampton.

For Monday, mums always show their kids, show off their kids, so I feel like you need lots of photos of Barney around the studio. The one in my purse.

If you're looking for the home of the mummies, do the show from B&M, Greg. OK. Can we just... There's also a very valid question here, which is, why was producer Vinuri dressed as a ninja wearing sunglasses to tell you about Mega Massive Mum Day? I have no idea. Why were you? I don't know. Everyone told me to do it, so I did it. LAUGHTER

We're not well. We're not well here, are we? But I think it'll be fun on Monday. We'll come up with some fun mum stuff. And now let's do a quiz with a man called Greg. Everyone at the same time doing it. Get you ready for the day. Oh my God, we've got a Greg on the quiz. Greg, hi. Good morning, Greg. How are you? I'm so good, Greg. It's great to have you here, Greg. Feeling good, Greg?

I am indeed, yes. I can't wait for this. It's stitched up by my department. Yeah, but come on. You know how corrupt this quiz is. If you're called Greg, you're already going to get points from me. Oh, before we continue, hang on. It's a double Greg situation!

There's not many of us around, Greg. I love chatting to other Gregs. Absolutely. Absolutely. There isn't enough, definitely not enough of us. We're a dying breed. Here's a question for you. Do you like your name? Yes, I do. I do now. I mean, we have no choice, really. No, we don't. Yeah. I don't know.

I don't love it, but I like how rare it is. So that's good, isn't it? Yeah, but you're a Gregory, aren't you? Are you a Gregory? No, I'm a Gregor. A Gregor, you see, I think that's cooler. That's even rarer, isn't it? Yeah, but maybe not in Scotland. Scotland manager and all that. Yeah, Scotland. But you're not a Gregor, you're a Gregor. That's better. That's the one. Yes, much better. Gregor sounds weird, but Gregor is way better. Anyway...

Let's stop the Greg chat and also just give you, I think we should give you maybe just a couple of points for being a Greg. I think that's fine. Yes, quality. Who's going to tell us off? 90 seconds on the clock. You are one of the PE teachers from the team this week. Fun fact about you, you've never worn trousers a single day of being a teacher, correct? Yeah, that'll do. Have you ever worn trousers at school?

Very rarely. Okay. That doesn't sound like never to me. Don't make me take points off you, Gregor. No, I've never worn trousers or shorts. Thank you. 90 seconds on the clock. 15 or more to get into the final. I believe in you. Don't let the Gregs down.

Here we go. We've got some dingers, obviously. Question number one is this. Blackpink teased their 2025 world tour, but what hotel-themed TV drama will band member Lisa be starring in in a couple of weeks' time?

No idea. It's a show called The White Lotus. We did a check-in with BBC Nottingham's reporter Harry after what fruit kept getting left on a plate in Beeston in Nottingham? Bananas. Yes. Newcastle beat which North London football team yesterday? Arsenal. All right, calm down. Hey, don't make me take points off you for that as well. I talked about my new telescope on the show yesterday. What could you see using a telescope?

The moon. Yes, Doja Cat livestreamed herself playing The Sims. What language do The Sims speak? Sims language. Yes, it's like English, but if it wasn't ing and it was sim, that would be sing. Sings. No, if it's not English, but it's like English, but it's... Simlish. Simlish. Simlish, yes. Listener Rachel came on to tell us about the time she did what to her wedding ring? She lost it. Yeah, but where?

Oh, she swallowed it. She did swallow it. Cristiano Ronaldo turned 40. What Premier League team did he famously play for? Man United. Yes. It was revealed an asteroid made two large carvings on what? A toilet cubicle or the moon? The moon. The moon is correct. It was National Fart Day. Please give me your best fart noise. Or, for five points, do an actual fart.

You opted for the mouth and that's fine. Just the one, two points for that. Rihanna teased the new Smurfs films yesterday, but what year did she last release an album? 2018. No, 2016. What was the weather in Oldham yesterday? Was it hurricane force winds or cloudy? Hurricane force winds. No, it was cloudy. Producer Zed revealed that he would love to collaborate with Ariana Grande again. What letter comes immediately before Zed in the alphabet? Y. Hmm.

No, it's because I'm asking you a question. And Ross Cook, a.k.a. The Hardest Geezer, announced his next challenge involving 60 ultra marathons. What is the distance of a traditional marathon, though, please, Greg? 26 miles and 250-odd yards. Oh, that's good. That's very good. I would have accepted 26.2. You did well there. With all the bonus points, I actually...

I couldn't get you over the line, I'm sorry. Oh, nightmare. I tried. I got you to 13. Well, it wasn't none, that's a good part. Oh, definitely not none. Definitely not none. I mean...

I'll give you one more, just so it's up to 14. But any more than that and then it's a complete farce. It would be definitely cheating. And to be honest with you, we've already got a three-way final and that's going to be a nightmare anyway tomorrow. Exactly. Let the kids have it. Greg, thanks so much for being on. Thank you very much, Greg. And have a good day today and we'll catch up with you soon. Thanks for being on yesterday's quiz. That was good fun and very nice, as I said, to catch up with the Greg. Take care, Greg. All the best. And keep Gregging! I was ever so excited to chat to another Greg. Lovely.

So now I think we should go to 7.40 on today's show. And speaking to Greg with his legs out, Greg's legs, I felt like it was time to check our other shorted listeners. We talked about this before Christmas, I think. But we said, look, this is the time of year where we really test those people that are like, yeah, I wear shorts all year round, me. Yeah, I just love wearing shorts. But really, really?

Even when it gets like this, even deep into January and February, you're still waking up and you're still doing shorts. Let's put it to the test. I'm going to call. Who should I call? We had a couple of people ready to go. I'm going to call this one live just to check up on them. I'm calling Dan Shorts. Don't let me down, Dan. Hello? Are you wearing shorts?

Hello. Yes, I am. Are you? Promise? Yes. Yeah, I've got proof of it.

Do you need proof? I do, actually. Yeah. I want you to slap your legs. Mate, it's right there, Warren. Can you just tell them I'm wearing shorts? It's right there, Warren. I'm fine. Are you wearing shorts? Yes, I'm in shorts. Okay, good, Dan. Thank you. Dan, how are you this morning? All good? I'm all good, thank you. Yeah. So you're still going through with it? All of January, all of February, you're still going to be shorted? Yeah, it is cold this morning, though. It is cold. It is. It's nippy. All right.

Yeah, all good. All good. Thanks for picking up. No worries. I'm pleased that it was successful. You're true to your word and you're a man of your word and I like that about you. Oh, thousand percent. I'm going to hang up now. I'm going to try and call Ollie Shorts, okay? Okay. Cheers. Cheers. Have a good one. Bye. Bye. All right. Let's call Ollie Shorts now and get his number up. He better be listening. Calling Ollie Shorts. Ollie Shorts.

Yeah. Are you wearing shorts? Yes, I am. Are you actually? You're live on the radio. Don't lie to me. No, I'm wearing shorts. Is there anyone near you that can corroborate this? Not at the minute. I'm driving to work. Okay, well, I'll let you go because I don't want you to be on the phone at the wheel. But you promised me that you're bare-legged.

Yeah, if you ring me in an hour, there'll be people at work to confirm that. Okay. We will have Leo Woodall as a special guest. How about if I called you after nine? Yeah, that's fine. All right, well, we'll put you in for after nine. We'll get someone to confirm that you're wearing shorts. Ollie, have a great day. Cheers, Craig. All right, bye.

I think, you know, genuinely, all things considered, I think a success. Two out of two. And then, a bit later on, we did call Ollie, and we got great confirmation, actually. Calling Ollie Shorts. Your call has been forwarded to voicemail. The person... Ollie. Ollie! For sake. I'll do it again. He's obviously busy, isn't he? He's in a meeting or something.

Hello, you're live on the radio. You're wearing shorts. Yes, I am. Did you just send me to voicemail? No. Oh. It just cut out and went, your call has been forwarded to voicemail. I was like, okay. All right. So, are you with anyone, Ollie, now? Yes. Who are you there with? I've got Mandy. Mandy. Can you put Mandy on the phone? Yeah. Thanks. Mandy? Hello, Greg? Hi, how are you? You're live on the radio.

Hi, I'm fine, thank you. I've just got... I've got one question for you. Yeah? What's Ollie wearing on his lower half? Not a lot, just shorts. Looks like he's naked. Looks like he's naked? OK, well, that would be another issue in the workplace. So he is, the legs are out. Welcome in.

It's very hairy as well. Okay, good. Good detail. Good extra detail. And where are you today? Where are we speaking to you? We're at Browns at Stagston. Okay. Right, so it's cold there, right, today? It's freezing. Yeah, I've got a woolly hat on, about six layers. What about his top half? Is he layered? No, he's got a T-shirt with all his man hair hanging out the top. Just needs a medallion. This guy is absolute nails, isn't he? Yeah.

And he's available if anyone's interested. Mandy, thank you so much for putting him on blast on the radio. Have a good day. No worries. Cheers then. Cheers. Bye. Say bye to Ollie. There you go. Good. Let's... Shall we get another? Amanda? Hi, Greg. Are you shorted? I am. What do you do?

I'm a delivery driver for a local pasty company, a family-run pasty company. A local pasty company. Well, if it's a local business, give them a shout-out. Moore's Pasties and Exmouth, the best around. Moore's Pasties and Exmouth, the best around, says you. Other pasty companies are available. Are you aware of the Chuff Bakery?

Oh, the Chuff Bakery's got a long history with this breakfast show. We did a thing called Pass the Pasty years and years ago, and the pasty we got from Cormorant was from the Chuff Bakery. So I just wanted to, for a bit of balance, just mention a couple of pasty companies. So all year round, you're shorted. I am. Yeah. It's quite a South Coast thing, actually, isn't it, to sort of be shorts all year round? Maybe the odd flip-flop. It has to be done. Yeah, good. But you keep it nice and toasty in the van, do you? I do. I do.

So even if it was a proper freezing day, you'd still be shorted? Yeah, when it's snowy, when it's icy, always short. Yeah, full respect to you, Amanda.

Thank you. Have a lovely day. And you. Oh, and by the way, we've got your number. We will call you back sporadically to check that you're not lying to us and that you're shorted all the time. I look forward to it. Good. All right. Speak to you soon, Amanda. Elsewhere today, Charlie Hedges joined me for a little round of Thursday. Hello. Thursday. You ready for it? I am. Are you ready? I think so. I think so. I think I feel it. We get so many voice notes.

An unbelievable amount. We can't possibly get through all of them, but we've selected as many as we possibly can. Oh my gosh, look at them. It's ridiculous. Play a big old banger.

I've gone early Calvin Harris for today. Okay. This is a great era of Calvin Harris. Agreed. When's the Calvin Harris era's tour going to happen? Because he could do it. It's got to be soon, surely. Not that we're trying to get rid of him, because obviously no one wants to get rid of him. No, no, no. We're not saying get rid of him. We're saying era. Do the whole lot. Celebrate the back catalogue. The first bit of the show should be him fronting the band like he used to. Do you remember those days? I want him to sing. Yeah. Sing in with the weird glasses on. Yeah. Yeah.

So we're going to play Feel So Close. Oof. And we're going to get into Thursday. Loads of voice notes about people being happy on Thursday. Just do it in a way. Don't overthink it. You ready for it? Yep. Let's go. I feel so close to you right now. I've just moved from the north down south to live in London with my best friend. Hooray! I've just put my house on the market and it's my best mate's stag day this weekend. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

Me and the missus are off to a music concert this weekend. Whee! Whee! Oh, it's going to be a good one. Ready? Yeah. Go! Oh, I remembered to take the bag for life into the shop today. Whee! Cheers!

Nice one, David. Greg, just getting a refund from the garage for diagnosing my car incorrectly and charging me £300 for the privilege. Hey! It was an honest mistake, honest. It was honest. Just had a birthday weekend in Chester and now we're off for another weekend away in Norwich. Hey! Rosie! The sun is out and it's only 20 days until my birthday. Wahey! Hey!

Knocking my car last night, hitting a pothole. But my superstar mrs has lent her her so I can get to work. She's had to walk. Whee! We're working at Regent House of Flowers in Wrexham and it's freezing. Whee!

Better than being sweaty Betty. Sam. Sonny. And I've got Radio 1 on. Way! Nice simple one. Ryan. Another year for Arsenal without a trophy. Way!

Hey. Why are they cheering? Oh, because they don't support Arsenal. Yes. I'm going to Thailand on Sunday. Hooray. Hooray. Good ones today. Got through a lot there. Plenty more where that came from. Let's have another. Let's go to Cornwall. It's actually sunny in Cornwall today. Hooray. Hooray.

Lucy! This weekend, my husband and I are going out for our first meal without our baby. For the first time, isn't that right? Wahey! I'm off to light a sauna by the sea. Light a sauna? Did we just put an arsonist on? Does he mean have a sauna? I think, well, I guess you have to light it. I just never thought of lighting it before. You have to do the coals and stuff, don't you? Have you done one by the seaside?

Not sure I have. No, me neither. I've seen them. I've seen them. I can imagine it. I've never been in them. I can imagine one. I've done one by a lake. Have you? That sort of counts. Yeah. Yeah, that counts. Very bougie. I have my moments. I think a really good Thursday today. Me too. Thank you to everyone for sending them in. And you've got a... Have you got one? No, I was going to say I missed Tony Wood today. I know. He's having his teeth done. I know. That's not a way, is it? I was about to say he's having veneers. Thank you.

Tony is one of our big bosses. He's a lovely man. He would be in a line-up of all people in the world. I think he'd be least likely to go and get his teeth done in Turkey. I'm tired. I've got the giggle. Tony's bald as well, so maybe he has gone to Turkey. He comes about with a full head of hair and a set of turkeys. A full set of D. McCulloch's.

Listen, if Tony don't come in like that tomorrow, I'll be devastated. Actually, I haven't seen him for a week or so. Oh my God, you're coming with a ponytail. A Tony tail. All right, that is the end of today's Thursday. Charlie, thank you. You've got such a great show lined up today. Love the band that you've got in the live lounge today. Inhaler are there from midday. Looking forward to that. And we'll get you on in just a bit. Do you know the cover?

I don't know the cover. Would you like to tell me? They're doing Lowly Young. UK number one. Ouch, that was me knee. You sit your knee. That's not a way. You okay, Nana? Listen, he's me for the granny drink that I drink. And now he's getting me through it in my knee. What was it, me knee? I can't do the live lounge. I've hit me knee. You're so annoying. Put me back out. There you go. That is the end of today's Breakfast Show podcast. Thanks for listening. Thank you to the people on Instagram who have already messaged me asking if I'm up.

Including international cricketer Rhys Topley. Lovely man. So cheers for that. We'll be back tomorrow. Bye bye.
