BBC Radio 1. Radio 1's all-day breakfast. With Greg James. Hello and welcome to Thursday's Breakfast Show podcast. Let's start because it's a very important day today. Let's start with the very start of the show. Good morning! Welcome to Thursday. It is the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Callum. Morning. Hey! Hey!

I have organized a surprise for you. Oh, good. Yeah? Okay. Do you want to know what it is? Always. Jared, now! Ah, oh, oh. What? Pinch punch first of the month. Oh, yeah. Oh, God.

What's going on? It was an ambush. We've been chatting to Jared Evarts, who's in the studio with you, and we've been in cahoots, and we said, how the hell do we get Callum Leslie? Because we're in London, he's in Birmingham, and we were like, Jared, do you want to do a mission? And he was like, yeah, let's do it. And I said, punch Callum, pinch him. It's the first of the month. Get him. Get him good. And did he get you good? He did. I was so confused there. I said, what's going on? I forgot about that. Of course. First of May.

Anyway. Happy Thursday, Macy. What I really liked about it was Jared was completely silent. Like, do the line, Jared! Do the line! Otherwise you're just doing violence. Sorry, that was quite hard.

He didn't even say pinch punch first time, he just punched him. Just lots of noises. Punched his lights out. Yeah. Anyway, there you go. Well, that's done. That was your surprise. Did you like it? Yeah, it was fun. Enjoyed it. Good, good. Today's show is going to be fun. I can feel it in my bones. And let's start the show. Yeah, so pinch punch first of the month. We got him. Thanks to Jared Evitz, who is in Newsbeat. The silent assassin. Just walking in and punching him and not saying anything.

Today's show, we caught up with Self Esteem and had a really fun time with her and did some stupid stuff with her song to her face. So we weren't even backstabbing. We were doing it to her face. What else did we do? We tried to give away big weekend tickets twice. We did Thursday. We got you up to date with all the latest things. And we had a really good quiz with a man called Dan. So let's get into... Should we start with Self Esteem? BBC Radio 1.

Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem, welcome back to the show, good morning! Yay! Hooray! It's Friday! Oh no, it's Thursday. Oh, that was rubbish. No, it's okay. Well, it's nearly Friday and it's album week! It's almost over! So, as a complicated woman, how are you feeling?

Naked. That's fine. But no, very happy, you know. It's been amazing. I can't believe the response it's had. And there's been a lot of worrying and pressure and stress. And now it's just quite fun and nice, which is what I needed. The praise is thoroughly well-deserved because I love the album. I've said this for a few weeks now. It's brilliant. A Complicated Woman is the name of the album. It came out last week. And it will be in the official chart tomorrow. It's exciting, isn't it? I can't wait.

I can't believe it. You know, the last album got to number 11, which was a real thorn in my side for a while. Because I had no desire... You know, I've never been an artist that could even go near the top 10. And then it got to number 11, which I thought was the most me thing ever. It was like...

We'll almost give you it, but no. So the fact is it's safely going to be inside the 10. I just want a 10, so I'm thrilled. Well, hopefully. We'll see where it gets to tomorrow. So Jack Saunders will do the official chart tomorrow and you'll hear the album chart in there as well. So yeah, I've been encouraging our wonderful Radio 1 listeners to listen to the album because the songs have been going down really well. We'll play If Not Now It's Soon in just a second. We'll play Focus Is Power. But my God,

Look, I messaged you about it, but voice to voice, that run of shows you did in London at the theatre, unbelievable. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Yeah. One of the great shows, honestly. It was everything. I said it on the day after. I said it was funny and sweet and mad and unhinged and...

I mean, all the emotions, really, but that's sort of what's displayed on the record, isn't it? Yeah, that's what I wanted. I wanted it to feel like scrolling your phone, you know? It's like everything, all the time, constantly, which is what, you know, I feel like life as a woman like me is. And then the show, I wanted you to feel...

like you're not just watching it you're like in it and it's stressing you out and it's also making you sweat and it's also making you horny and it's also making you cry and so I think I got I think I did that you did all of it I felt all of those things I'm very happy to hear that I really

I really enjoyed some of the instructions on the big screen behind you. Particularly the one where you encouraged people to film this dance and start doing it on TikTok because you wanted to go viral on TikTok. And what was the reason? Because you wanted to make a very special purchase. Well, I really want to get my mum and dad a caravan.

And I thought I could, you know, and then my accountant was, you can't, and told me I can't. I was like, oh, great. And then you go, you know, you say to the people in the music industry, well, how am I going to make some money? And it's like, well, it's all on TikTok these days. And you're telling me that, and I'm like...

Cool, great. I have no idea where to start with that. So, yeah, I've cut out the middleman. I'm just begging people. That's fine. Hopefully that'll go. But my mum came to the show and she was like, well, we quite fancy a cruise, actually. I was like, right, OK, fine. Oh, that's more durable, isn't it? Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah.

Well, it depends on what kind of crew she wants. But yeah, I'm still, I'm still, I'm going to get there. That's my goal. I think seven days, maybe a seven day one, a Mediterranean seven day. Yeah, a quick, yeah, a quick European one maybe I'll do. Not only was your mum there, but mother was also there one of the evenings. Was Madonna there the same night as your mum? Yeah, so I don't know what was more stressful. It was mad, yeah. Madonna came to see me play live, which still hasn't sunk in.

But here we are. You've said that she's one of the reasons you even started singing, really, and wanted to do this as a job. So that's quite a lot to deal with, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, her documentary and her book, like I read around when I was still in a band and feeling really sort of like I couldn't say what I needed. And then obviously she's so inspiring in terms of like vision and getting it done and fighting through all the misogyny and the constant sort of,

it's so hard to get where she got and she just kept going. So yeah, it was very inspiring. So it's not just like when a celebrity comes, it's fun. But when Madonna came, I was like, wow. There's celebrities and then there's Madonna, really, I guess. Yes, yes. Well, that's, and she was very nice about you as well. And she talked about how much she loved the show, which is brilliant. So don't just take my word for it. Take Madonna's word for it. The album's great. So, oh yeah, and Henry works on the show. He,

he came in the next day and had a full gay crisis because he was in the you're in the same room as madonna did you look up and see her in the in the in the gods yeah literally amazing literally because they they said they said her security had been to have a look around and stuff and i was like okay i'll believe it when i see it and then halfway through the show like because there's so much lighting i i there was no way of knowing if she was in so i did half the show not even knowing and then yeah and then i clocked her and i was like okay cool she's there

Time to thrive under pressure, Rebecca. Let's go. So you're travelling to do loads of signings and stuff, are you? And you still got another show tonight, is it? I've got one more show and then I've got four days off and I am quite excited.

When you find out where the album gets in the charts, Maura, you can turn that phone off and just have a nice time. Yeah, baby. Can't wait. So we're going to play If Not Now It Soon. We've been playing this song loads, obviously, over the last few weeks and stuff. And there's a bit in it that when I first heard it, I immediately loved. And it's a classic bit of self-esteem where the song sort of drops out. It's an interlude. And then you give us some wisdom. And...

I thought that you'd appreciate this bit and it was a suggestion by Rich in Redcar and he said, why don't you, because we thought there's an opportunity here to put something else into that interlude. And he suggested this one, the famous Jennifer Coolidge bit from White Lotus Series 2. Here we go. Something will happen because it's got to. It's not just perseverance we need.

There we go. These gays are trying to murder me. And then we've got a few more. Quite a few good suggestions. So thanks to all the listeners for sending in this idea. Oh!

That's a personal favourite of mine. Okay, it's going to be hard to beat that one. It is. It's not just patience we need, it's... I've crushed the fire, Big Darren! Okay, it's not just patience we need, what about... It's not just perseverance we need, it's... David's dead. Feels slightly in bad taste, but still one of the greatest memes of all time.

Yeah. That'd be difficult to get the rights to that one, but carry on. All right, it's not just perseverance we need, it's... It's not just perseverance we need. A succulent Chinese meal. Oh, also a good one. You'll appreciate this one as someone who is definitely chronically online and has full brain rot. How about the time that Alexandra Burke thought she created the phrase elephant in the room? Yes.

Fair enough, you did. All of these are really applicable. It's not just perseverance we need, it's the succulent Chinese meal, though, is very... artistically works. It does, no, it does as well, because I know you're obviously big on your lyrics. It does scan, it scans well. What about this from EastEnders? It's not just perseverance we need...

It's a niche one. It's Bubblies in the fridge. That is a niche meme. There's a lot of EastEnders ones that would work. My son's in the kitchen eating a biscuit. LAUGHTER

You could also do... Do you remember the amazing one when they were doing the live episode and instead of calling him Ian, she says, How's Adam? That would be quite good as well. How's Adam? It's not just perseverance we need, it's How's Adam. Also, we could go Simpsons. It's not just perseverance we need. Something gay, no doubt. Why?

That's quite good. It's something gay, no doubt. Yeah, it's not just perseverance we need, it's something gay, no doubt. Yeah, it's very applicable. Let's go to the Oscars. Yes! Yes!

Yes! Maybe that's my winner, to be fair. OK, right, we're going to make one of those versions in full and we'll let you go because I know you've got a load of stuff on today. I've really enjoyed that. Rebecca, thanks for being on. Yeah, well, look, you've got a lot of love coming your way from the Radio 1 listeners and us a lot as well. So we'll see you in Big Weekend as well. Yes, we're getting big on the weekend.

We'll see you in Liverpool in less than a month. All right, let's play If Not Now It Soon and then we'll get the full version sorted. Speak to you soon, Rebecca. Thank you, babe. Bye. Love you so much. Bye.

So that was good. Love her, love Rebecca. And next, let's try and give away some tickets to Big Weekend. Oh, should we just go for it then? Nathan, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Welcome to The Breakfast Show. You're live. Are you feeling good? I'm feeling very well. Yourself? Yeah, really good. Thank you. Thanks for asking, Nathan. Where are you? What are you doing today?

I am in Whiteley and I am working in the sunshine until 5.30. What are you doing in the sunshine? What work? In an office, so not great. Okay, so not technically in the sunshine. Are you moving the office outside today? I will be on lunch, go for a nice little walk. Rather than that, trapped inside.

One of the best things, one of the most exciting things about school when it was hot was that they would move, they would do a lesson outside. That was a real, what an amazing treat that was. So maybe you should do, maybe you should normalise that in the office. Where's Whiteley then? Near Hampshire or in Hampshire, I should say. Oh, lovely. Okay, great. On the south coast. Tell us about the people that you would maybe take with you if you got more than one ticket today on the big weekend competition. What are we playing for today, Nathan?

So I would take my girlfriend who wanted to see Miles Smith, but unfortunately couldn't go recently. So take her so she can finally see him. And then my two best mates, Stephen and Charlie as well. I'd see if they want to tag along. Okay, great. Stephen and Charlie, do these people know that you're playing for tickets this morning on the show? Not a clue. Might be good because it reduces the pressure. Although I think I work well under pressure. I need a story. So this is a sadness here. What's your girlfriend called?

Ellen. Ellen. So Ellen didn't see Miles Smith. She really wants to see Miles Smith. So I've got to have that in my head. That's going to drive me if you need me to do the risk. So the first bit is on you, Nathan. Sure. Are you good for that bit? Have you been listening this week? I have been, yeah. Very nervous. And how have you been doing? Have you been getting the songs? A few days, yeah.

OK, let's see how you go. The first round is on you and it's for one ticket to the Saturday of Radio 1's big weekend. As soon as the clip finishes, it's a five second clip. You'll then have five more seconds to shout the artist only. That's all I need. Don't worry about the song title. Just the artist, please. But you must shout the artist within that five seconds. Otherwise, it is game over. Sure. Nathan, good to go.

I'm good to go. I would love to send you to Radio 1's Big Weekend. One ticket for the Saturday could be yours in a matter of seconds. Just tell me, who the hell's this? Nathan, come on! I don't know! Oh, no! Oh, I thought that was an easy one today.

It's on the tip of my tongue still. Oh, it's only one of the most famous people in the world, Harry Styles. Nathan. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. I'm sorry, Nathan. It's tough, isn't it? Well, we tried. We did try, but I'm sorry about that. Yeah, it was Adore You by Harry Styles. It was a song we play all the time. Any other day, you would have gone, oh, yeah, that's Harry Styles. I'm sorry, didn't quite get it today.

Ah, well, worth a shot. Worth a shot. Thank you for calling and nice to speak to you. And well, look, as we said, nothing ventured, nothing gained because you didn't tell Ellen or Stephen or Charlie that you were going to try for tickets anyway. So just keep quiet, I reckon. They'll never know. Yeah, just pretend like it. Just pretend like this never happened. How about that? Nathan, I'm sorry about that. Enjoy the sunshine today and we'll catch up soon. All right.

Thank you. Have a great day. You can always try again, you know. You can always call again, Nathan, if you want to. What's up? It's you in the morning. Yeah, we'll call again tomorrow. We're going to try and give them away again or are we done today? Cheers. Do you know what? I think we should try and... You're listening out for Miles Smith, Stargazing. If I play it again, we'll open the phone lines and we'll try and give away these tickets. Nathan, have a good day. You too. Take care. And maybe speak to you later. Oh, it didn't work out for Nathan. Should we try again, though, with Becca? Radio 1.

Becca, good morning! Hi, good morning! Welcome to Radio 1. How are you feeling? Oh God, I'm very nervous. Have you been listening to the competition this week all across Radio 1? I have. I've been screaming all of the answers. Oh, that's good. That's a good sign.

Yeah, I'm confident. And tell us where you are in the world, please, Becca. I'm in Chorley, in Lancashire. In Chorley, Lancashire? We've had someone else from Chorley this week. I know, they said that was Chorley. And big in Chorley. It must be. What are you doing in Chorley today? I'm currently at work. Okay, what do you do? I'm a realtor coordinator. You're a what, sorry?

A rota coordinator. A rota coordinator? Yeah. You're making it sound very mysterious. You're not telling us what the rotas are all about. Just rotas. It's just rotas. It's just rotas. Yeah, don't worry about it, Greg. It's just rotas. All right, well, I won't worry about it. What I want to do, what I really want to do is give you tickets to Radio 1's big weekend. Line-up's looking great, isn't it? Who are you excited about on that Saturday?

Yes, he is headlining on this Saturday. And I can give you one ticket right now if you tell me the name of the artist I'm about to play you a clip of. It will be a five-second clip. It's an artist who has definitely played Radio 1's Big Weekend in the past. As soon as the clip finishes, you'll have five seconds to shout the artist only. Just tell me the artist and...

I can give you that one ticket. We'll get into the next part of it once we're there because you can get me to risk everything in order to get you four tickets. But let's redo the first bit first and then we'll get to that in a second. Yeah. You must shout the artist within that five seconds, otherwise it's game over. Becca, are you ready? I'm ready. Here we go. Just tell me, who's this? It's Lady Gaga.

There's always a moment where all of us in the studio just hold our breath and we go, please just say something. Please, please. Because you took your time and that's really good, but it makes us nervous. And of course, it's Lady Gaga. It is Lady Gaga. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. So now, what do you want to do? Do you want to take your one ticket for the Saturday? That is confirmed. Or do you want me to answer a question to try and get it up to four tickets for you?

I've got to risk it. You've got to do the ticket. Get the ticket for me. I'll do my best. I haven't failed so far this week, which if you're an optimist, that means I'm on a winning streak. If you're a pessimist, it means that I'm due a fail. So let's see what happens. We can now try and get three more tickets for you.

This is what's been happening across the week this week on Radio 1. The presenters have to not let the listeners down. It's a big burden, big burden on our shoulders. But I'm feeling confident. So you're going to go for this? We're going to try and risk it? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Have you thought about who you'd take with you with those extra three tickets? I'll have to take my boyfriend as well, but the other two, my friends have to fight over it. I love have to. I'll have to take my boyfriend.

I have to. Well, it would cause a domestic otherwise, wouldn't it? It might do, yeah. Let's get the question then. So it's being asked by different Radio 1 presenters and let's see who we've got today. I'm just going to fade you down, Becca. I'm just going to lock in and go into my Sherlock mind palace so I can just get this right for you.

Hey, Greg, it's Nat and Vicky here, and we are buzzing to be coming to Liverpool for Big Weekend this year. Yeah, we're so excited. Now, your question today is, what is our combined age? Is it higher or lower than 60? Now, tread carefully here, Greg. Oh, oh, God. 60. How old is, I think, Vicky is... Vicky's definitely in her 20s, late 20s. Nat...

Why would they be asking that? They sounded... Hang on. So Vicky's maybe... The last time I checked, like on a radio thing, Vicky... I remember she said she was 26 or something and then... But that must... That probably could have been a couple of years ago. So for 28... I'm doing quick maths. 28. I think that might be over 30. Oh God, this is horrible. I think I'll go for higher. I think they might... The combined age might be more than 60.

This sounds a lot, and I think that's maybe why they've done it. I'm overthinking. I think higher. It's higher. Yes! 62. And I'm just going to point out that Vicky makes the bulk of the age. Excuse me. I knew it. Becca, you're going to Big Weekend. Four tickets. Four tickets.

That is a really tricky question. That's a horrible question. There's a reason they... I knew there was a sneaky reason they were doing that because... Yeah, anyway, doesn't matter about that now. Becca, you've got all the tickets. You're off to Liverpool, to Sefton Park to see that amazing Saturday line-up. Feeling good? I think she might have passed out. Is she there? We'll maybe get her back in a second. She said, I do want to check that she's OK. Fine. Fine.

This is not how we want to end today's show, guys. Check she's conscious. Becca!

Oh, you are alive. I'm here. Oh, God, we worried about you. We heard a scream and then the phone went dead. Everything's okay, is it? Yeah, that's it. That's it. Okay, we can barely hear you, but are you happy you won the tickets? Yes. Good, okay. Well done to you. Have a great day at work today and we'll see you in Liverpool, okay? See you in Liverpool. Thank you. Cheers. Bye. Bye. For you. Radio One. Radio One.

All day breakfast. And on Thursdays, we weigh. So kick us off, Callum. Go on then, do your weigh. All right, I'm off on a stag do this weekend. Let's get a couple more in before the vocal starts. I've got pistachio nuts as a snack today. Okay, let's go again. 20 days to big weekend. Hooray!

20 days? Already? Oh, my God. It's only 20 days to a big weekend. Sorry, I'm shocked at that. I know. 22 days, isn't it? Anyway, the sentiment is right. It's my last day of work until Wednesday. Yay! Very good. What else have we got? It's the 1st of May, which means we're getting married this month. Wah-ha-ha-hey! Yay!

Katie! There was a manure truck in front of me, spilling poo everywhere. Hey! Hey, Dan! Today I'm working outside and I won't be doing much work at all in the glorious sunshine. Whee! Whee! It's my birthday this weekend and I get to do the big shop today without the kids. Whee!

There's the kids cheering in the background. I get married on Sunday. Way! Going on my side dude tomorrow. Way! Oh, way! Maybe with you, Callum.

Cora! I'm treating myself to a Tesco meal deal for lunch today. Whey! Whey! See, it doesn't always have to be really exciting. It can be. We can celebrate the mundane. Listen, a meal deal sometimes is out of your mind. Yeah, well, that's what gets you through the day, you know? Yeah.

Those little bits of boring joy. Let's have some more. I'm going to Italy in the morning to eat pizza and drink wine. Whey! Whey! Or there's the flip side of it. You can go and do something quite fancy. Mike, magic weekend for rugby league. Bank holiday weekend. Whey! Whey! I like the tiered one, Mike. Whey! Whey!

Mike the Trucker doing well there. What else? I run the London Marathon on Sunday and I can finally walk downstairs today. Wahey! Good work. I thought that person was about to say, I'm going to run the London Marathon this weekend. I go, ah, who wants to tell her? Joanne! I'm off to Villamora tomorrow. Wahey!

Just on my way down to London to meet Webby Free Stag do. Lots of Stag do's. Not Webby. Not bloody Webby. Oh, a night out with Webby. My God. You never forget a night out with Webby. Or maybe you do. What about this one? Going to watch Corby Town in the playoff final on Saturday. I finished my two hours of swimming training and had my Greggs. Wey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey. Henrique. My partner and I are adopting a dog and we're picking it up from the shelter tomorrow first thing in the morning. Wow!

Lovely build on that, Enrique. Picking up a foster dog tomorrow. That's exciting. Last day at work today, and then it's a four-day weekend for me because I'm off to see Chase and Status tomorrow night at Birmingham. I'll tell you who'd like Chase and Status. You know Webby. Oh, yeah. Loves Chase and Status. Last day at work, then down south for the weekend. Nice. Is that code or no?

Last day of work, then down south for the weekend. Busy. Cigala, sweet loving and some brilliant ways on Thursday. Thank you, everybody. One final way.

Time now for all the latest things. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. Let's get you up to date with all the latest things. And we start with Lorde. Or as she's been renamed this week, Lorde. So Lorde was on the new music show with Jack Saunders last night. Really great interview. If you missed the whole thing, you should listen back on BBC Sounds. It was on just after seven o'clock last night.

Lorde was on Zoom in her house, sat on the floor like a teenager, cross-legged with big headphones on, looking very Lorde and was in a great mood actually. And they were talking about what the hell is what was that all about then? Yeah, it was just like, wait, wait, wait, what was all that? What just happened to me? Everything, like the pandemic, everything.

My career, like my relationship, I was like, what? There's just this feeling of a lot had happened to me very fast in my life. Well, in a weird way, I'm glad that lots of things happened to her because we got a great song out of it. It's my tune of the week this week. She also talks about her brand new album. The album is called Virgin and it's coming out on June the 27th. This album for me is honestly just about me.

going straight to the core of who I am in the purest way possible, stripping away anything unnecessary. I've just realised something. June the 27th. What very, very famous event happens across that weekend? Oh my God. Could you imagine...

I don't even want to say it out loud in case it doesn't happen, but it's Glastonbury weekend and Lorde's got a new album. Surely, surely Lorde, surely the Lorde will descend on Glastonbury, surely. Oh my God. Okay, well let's just leave that to simmer.

Next up, we go to a brand new series of Glow Up, which started last night. It's on BBC Three. It's a BBC Three makeup competition hosted by supermodel Leomi Anderson. It's a very fun show and it pits up and coming makeup artists against each other to find the very best one, the very best MUA makeup artist. The show has a load of judges. Val Garland is one of them. You

You might have seen her on various... I mean, she's always doing the rounds on socials because of... Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong, darling. It paid off. Ding dong. Yeah, I quite like ding dong as a catchphrase. Ding dong. Ding dong, darling. New season of Glow Up now on BBC iPlayer. And finally, something new from Jade. She has shared a clip of an acoustic version of her song F.U.F.N.,

That's coming out on Friday. She calls it a little bit country. What do you think? It's quite sweary. I've had to chop up bits of it. This is all I can play. Yeah, that's all I can play there because it starts swearing and then... Yeah, I'll have to stop it there as well. But with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. With Greg James.

And let's quiz. Come on then, Dan. Dan, good morning. Hello, good morning, Greg. How are you? I'm very well, thank you, Dan. Thanks for checking in and thanks for being on the quiz this week. Oh, so I was about to say that you don't have a lot of support today from your teammates, but that's not true. You do. Holly, the captain...

Thank you, Holly. So, Dan, I think Holly's trying to get into your good books because you're the manager, aren't you?

Yes, I am. I'm assistant service manager, that's right. Assistant service manager, sorry, please accept my apologies. So, how's the mood been at the workplace this week? Yes, banter's been strong and the competition, so yeah, a lot of pressure, but I'm sure we can pull out of the bags. Mike did well yesterday. He really doesn't want you to do well today because he wants to be in that final tomorrow. It's going to be hard. Yeah, definitely the banter between Grace and...

Mike is strong, so definitely a lot of competition there. Oh, this is good. So you're all based in Poole, in lovely Dorset. And so this was an idea that Holly had a couple of weeks ago and you never thought it would happen. Yeah, that's right. So she talked about it a couple of weeks ago and it's one of those things where you just don't think anything's going to come of it or certainly not as soon as it was. I think it was only a couple of weeks ago that she...

She sent the email off. So, yeah, here we are. Well, we take it seriously. We take this stuff very seriously. If someone says they're up for a quiz, then we will indulge them. So, 90 seconds on the clock, Dan. Here we go with your questions on yesterday's quiz. If you get 13 or more, you're in the final tomorrow. Here we go. Let's go. Do I have some dingers? Yes, I do. Question number one is this. Which singer of Peaches and Baby confirmed he's back in the studio?

Peaches and babies. I actually just played him a couple of minutes ago. He's on that song with Skrillex. I don't know. It's Justin Bieber. Man United played Chelsea in the Women's Super League, but who won the match? Chelsea. They did. It was International Jazz Day, but can you tell me what a trumpet sounds like? Boop-boop-boop-boop.

It's Doja Cat. Doja Cat. And with that, that is the end of your quiz today. Pretty good, I think. But was it enough to get into the final? Simply... I didn't think we were there. I didn't think we were there. You're not there. But we had a good time. And do you know what? Quite nicely, you got the same as Holly. Oh, did I really? Do you know what I said to Holly? I said, look, I'm happy with anything above a level.

11 or above. 11? Well, you've done it. So Holly got 11 on Monday. You got 11 today, Dan. Thanks so much for being on. So the final tomorrow will be a real fierce battle between Grace and Mike, and that's going to kick off at 7.15 tomorrow morning. Dan, thanks so much for being on this morning. I'm looking forward to it. Thank you very much, Greg. Have a lovely day in Sunnypool. Yeah. Take care. Speak to you later. Are you going to get to the beach today? Well, I'm at work, aren't I? Later. Come on. Maybe. You never know. Take everyone down the beach for lunch. That'd be nice.

You could, no. It's not too far away. You could do. All right, Dan, have a good day. We'll speak to you in a few minutes. Yeah, take care. See you later. Bye-bye. And as the show went on, I kept trying to do the pinch punch to Callum. Oh, Callum, I've actually... I've sorted out a nice surprise now for you. All right, OK. Are you sure about that? I've sorted out a really nice surprise. I'm sorry that I surprised you with your colleague doing pinch punch first month at 7 o'clock. I'm sorry about that. I'm in the studio myself now, so no one else is here, so that's fine. Well, it's only because...

I'm in London, you're in Birmingham. I can't come and do Pinch Punch, so I thought I'd get one of your news friends to do it. So good. I have arranged, I know lots of nice people in Birmingham, I've arranged for a lovely present outside your news door. Okay. So I'm going to have a little look now. All right, hold on. Just going to have a little look. Nikita, are you ready? Pinch Punch. Yes! Yes! We're in London now. Oh, God.

Nikita Kanda. That was Nikita Kanda from Asian Network. She does her show now from Birmingham. It's stressful this morning. Did she get you? Yeah, she got me. What did you think it was, a little cupcake? I didn't know it was a wee cake, maybe a little bacon roll. Bacon roll would be good on a Thursday morning. We should get someone to deliver a bacon roll. That would be nice. Can we get a Deliveroo guy to turn up with a bacon roll? Do you reckon they would do... You know when they put special instructions on the app?

Yeah. Any delivery instructions? Yeah. Can you also do a pinch punch first of the month to the person you give the bacon rolls to? And then at 9.30, this happened. Listen, Greg, also, there's just one other thing I want to say to you before we're done. Charlie, Charlie Hedges, do it now. Pinch punch, punch, punch. Yes! No. Pinch punch, punch, punch. No. Yes!

You're evil. She was having a nice... Charlie came in to have a nice, normal conversation with me. I actually did, though, because I wasn't using... No, no. Out. No, no.

Out. No, I'm not leaving. It's a betrayal. She came in and she was asking me about real life things and personal things and then it was all a ruse. No, that was genuine. It wasn't. She said, wait, wait. I don't believe a word that's coming out of your mouth, Edges. I texted you yesterday and you didn't reply because you had a lot going on. So I come in to see how you are and then producer Tom said, do you want to get involved in this? Don't dig me out by saying I didn't text you back. What is it? You're too busy with your new author, mate. I didn't. I didn't. That wasn't what I said.

That was why. It was a busy day yesterday. Yes, it was. You can't come in there and then punch me and then dig me out for not messaging you back. I said so. You and I are going to fall out, Edges. I can't wait. Radio 1.

And before we go, some football chat. Callum Leslie. Good morning again. There's nobody about to jump out from behind the door? No. That I promise you. We're done with the pinch punch first of the month for now. Just checking. For now. Just checking.

Have you noticed what I'm wearing today? Do you know what? I've been admiring it, yes. Do you know what it is? It is, yes. It's a Barrytown United, does it say? I can't see. It's Barrytown AFC. AFC, sorry. Barrytown football top. It's very nice. Yeah, it's there. Signed football top. It's a signed football top from the team. It is their home kit. It's a very, very bright yellow. It's really lovely. It's got a little blue flash on the sleeve and around the neck as well.

And it's because we talked about Barry Town when we had Leo Woodall on The Breakfast Show. Leo Woodall was in the new or the latest Bridget Jones film. And he was kind of the hunk from that. And we had an unpopular opinion where someone said, you should only be supporting the football team from where you're from.

And I called out producer Tom, who is from Wales, because he's a Man United fan. He then sprang to his own defence and said... Well, I'm the classic Man United fan who always has two teams, so I tell everyone I support Barry Town. Right, so depending on who's asking, he supports Barry Town or Man United. But Barry Town, it's actually a lovely story because you are from about 12 miles away from there. Yeah, yeah, not from very far. The closest JD Premier League team to me. Community-owned, wonderful little club at Jenner Park. Sounds...

does sound great I saw the Instagram story with the pie was that a pint a pint it looked very good yeah they always say a pie and a pint and a ticket for 20 quid there that's the deal see that's nice I like that yeah you don't get that in the Premier League you don't get that at the Emirates or something you know that's why I do like it I do like a smaller club you do

I like Livingston. You like Livingston? I like the fact both playing in sort of amber-yellow, so, you know, Barrytown, Livingston, it's like you've got a little stable of teams starting here. You can have both. Can I have both? That's my question. Yeah, I think so. I think so. A Welsh team and a Scottish team, that's fine. But can I have all three? Can I have Arsenal? Can I have Livingston? And can I have Barry? I think so. They don't clash, really, do they? They all play in different countries, so it's fine. Yeah, very rarely going to play each other. Yeah. Well, come on. Have some confidence. Come on. We'll be in the big leagues one day. No,

No, look, I feel like Champions League would be good with Barry Livingston. Livingston have been in the UEFA Cup once. Okay. Barry beat Porto once. That's the big claim to fame.

What year? Let me check. Okay. But look, so what do I do here? Is it allowed? Because I do love Livingston. Your Livingston boys, Callum, I love. Going to win the league, maybe. Fingers crossed. Maybe. Yeah, how are you feeling about that? Tomorrow night, level on points. One game to go. Last day of the season. You're panicking. It's very stressy. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. As we know, with football, I'm very easily bought. Send me a top.

I'm in. I think it's allowed. Okay. We're coming to the end of the football season. So next season, my teams will be Livingston, Barrytown and Arsenal. Excellent. Are we happy with that? Yeah. Great. So what's your plan for Friday? Are you going up tomorrow? No, so slightly stressful situation. One of our best mates is having his stag do this weekend near Malaga in Tormolinos. So we need to find somewhere...

in Torremolinos that has the Scottish Championship on the telly on Friday night. But I think that might be possible, you know? We can do that. I think someone there...

There's a Falkirk game on the telly, which we have to hope that Falkirk don't win and then Livingston have to win their game. This is so... I'm stressed thinking about it. This is such technical football chat. Hang on. So we need a bar in where? Torremolinos? That's correct, yes. Okay, this is... We are using the radio station just to make sure Callum has a good night.

Well, that's dependent on other stuff, but yeah. Bar in Torremolinos to watch what game? It's Falkirk against Hamilton. Okay, and why is that significant? Because Falkirk are top of the league right now, so we need them to do worse than us tomorrow night. Right. And who are Livingston playing? Livingston are playing Partick Thistle at home. And that's going to be easy? Not really. Do we have to win that? We just need to do better than Falkirk.

I'm stressed thinking about it, Greg. Who's the stag man? This is not good. This is Paul's stag, but he didn't organise it for now, to be fair. OK, we need the listeners to help out Callum Leslie here. Torremolinos, tomorrow night, we need a bar. We need a roped-off area. He's a big deal.

Is it just going to be you or are you going to sneak off? No, this is all Livingston fans. It's a big group of us. Okay. We need a big group entry for a bar in Torremolinos tomorrow night to watch the big one. Paul Kirk Hamilton. Put it on the big screens. Turn the music down. The music will be off. The football will be on. We're going to make this happen for you. BBC. BBC. BBC. BBC. BBC.

Radio 1 Breakfast. Okay, how about the Bailey Irish Bar or where else could we go? Ellie in Southend says there's an Irish pub on the seafront. They'll definitely play. They'll be playing sport, definitely. Mackie's Bar in Torremolinos will show the game, says James in Salisbury. How about that? The Bomber is apparently a bar which could be good.

Bar Ibenza. Another one. Beth says, my boyfriend's on that stag do as well in Torremolinos with Callum this weekend. Can you get Callum to make a feature out of what the lads get up to with Callum Lizzie reporting on it? Or give him a journalistic sort of angle to follow.

Callum, go further down to Benel Medina, to Coco's Bar, and they'll have it on there. This is so good, so specific. Love these specific shout-outs. Nathan in Shropshire says, Greg James, you, sir, are a football tart. I am, actually, yeah. Because it's not my first sport.

So I'm lucky in a way that it doesn't affect, if Arsenal win or lose, it doesn't really affect my life too much. I'm not in a funk for three days. Therefore, I'm very happy to follow a fun story, whether it's Livingston or Barry, as I said, very easily bought with a shirt. Signed by the team. Don't know any of them. Could you tell me who those people are? No.

Not all of them, but it was... Give us a couple. Kane McLagan, probably the most famous one. It was his last game when I was there the other week. Scored a goal. That's quite a good signature to have there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good one. Well, thank you to everyone at Barrytown for sorting that out. It's a really lovely bit of kit, this.

Thanks for your Toro Molino shout-outs. We'll pass them on to Callum Leslie and hopefully he can see the full Kirk Hamilton game tomorrow night in Spain. There you go. That's the end of today's Breakfast Show podcast. I'll return tomorrow with the final of the quiz. Are we going to do a wrong-uns tomorrow? Max Fosh is going to be on. Yes, YouTube sensation Max Fosh is going to be on. I'm talking about silly things. Plus, big weekend tickets to give away. All of that and anthems and loads more. So come back tomorrow. Bye!
