Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. April Fool's Day today, isn't it? We were ready for it and also I'd had a thought about it too.

Oh, good morning! Welcome to Tuesday! April the 1st. Callum Leslie, good morning. Morning. April Fool's Day. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm just thinking about the news. No, I think we're fine. We're good. Okay. Don't do any pranks in the news. Just be careful about that. Should have been thinking about that three hours ago. Yeah. Well, I was going to say, I always find April Fool's Day tricky.

Because if you are a silly billy every day, then a day where everyone becomes a silly billy means you sort of get a day off. Oh, yeah, you can kind of take a back seat. So I think that actually everyone listening to this show who is a fool, who is a silly billy, actually, I think we rest today. I actually think it's a day of rest. Yeah, fair enough. And I think what we should do, because it's a chance for the more serious people

to have a laugh, isn't it? No, it is. It's like the more serious people let their hair down today. Whereas we let our hair down 364 days a year, we put our hair up today. Put your hair up, yeah. Yeah, because I'm putting my hair up. Put your hair up. I'm going to relax. I'm just going to sit back. You know what? I'm just going to be serious today. I feel like I want to be serious. I might listen to Radio 3 later. And they'll do, you know, very serious, funny little jokes like...

They'll hide a little April Fool's joke, something like, and finally in the news today, we've found out that Mozart's actually still alive. He's been hiding a piano all this time. A lovely April Fool's joke, that is.

So I think no silliness today on the show. OK, yeah. Don't even dare trying to be silly. I think we want serious voice notes. Let me know what you're doing, but be very literal about it, be very serious about it. And we'll see if it passes the serious check on today's April Fool's Day breakfast show. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. Yes, it's April Fool's Day. And as I said at the start of today's show, if you listen to Radio One, you're probably a silly billy. You're probably a fool most of the year. So today is really a day off for you.

You've got to let the serious people have their fun and they're allowed fun one day of the year. Okay, it's, you know, it's when John from Accounts comes in with his pants over his trousers and goes, I am a bit mad, aren't I, actually? I actually am a bit mad, me, aren't I? So it's fine. Let everyone live. And I just think we need to take a back seat today and I want your serious shout outs and your serious points. I see what you're doing, Greg.

Your April Fool's is that you're being serious. Not an April Fool, my friend. I'm deadly serious about this. Hi, my name is Abby and I'm a trainee science teacher. Today I will be teaching electrolysis of aqueous solutions and chemical reactions. Hopefully no April Fools in the science lab. That's good. She played that very straight. It was nice, Abby. Thank you. Just informative. Just a good old-fashioned, informative, boring voice note. That's what we want. That's all I asked for today.

Emma says, Greg, I've got something very serious for you. My dog, Eddie, was in the final for being the new face of a dog brand yesterday and we found out that he didn't win and he's very sad. Please can you tell him that he's still the most handsomest and goodest boy? You are the handsomest, goodest boy. Sorry, that was being a bit silly there. I'm sorry about that. I'll wind that back. I'm sorry. I apologise. By the way, how did you get your dog put forward to be the face of a dog brand? I feel like I've got...

Come on. Barney's got like 60,000 Instagram followers. Let's get that going. Sophie in Liverpool says, Greg, a very serious message for you here. I'm getting ready to leave for work and I've double knotted my shoes. Thank you, Sophie, for sending through that lovely message. To the voice notes again. Good morning. This is Shona from Strabane in Northern Ireland. And I would just like to wish everyone happy new tax year.

And a happy new tax year to you and to everyone that celebrates the new tax year. May old receipts be... Oh, that's silly. Sorry, that is silly. No silliness. Sorry. Sorry. Producer Tom just pointed at me and just went, that's silly. Okay, so no silliness. Well, therefore, no laughing over there.

Jordan? It's Jordan the hard landscape, but there's not a million things I'd rather do than be going to work right now. I would not much rather be on holiday in a nice warm country. I love being here. It's so nice. Lovely. It's April Fool's Day. It's Jordan's day to be a sarky. A sarky git.

Louise. Good morning, Gregory and Co. We are very serious here this morning in Manchester. We are getting ready for school and to go to work. Now I must bid you adieu, adieu, adieu. I think you're being silly there actually, Louise. I think you're being very silly and you know what you're doing. On my way to work, I noticed my fuel warning light came on in my van.

So I just stopped off at the petrol station, put £25 of diesel in it. That's exactly what I'm after. That sort of level of mundanity is exactly what I want. As boring as that, please. Good morning, Gregory. This is Chris, the white man, driving to Portsmouth on a very serious day. Thank you. Yeah, good. Again, thank you very much. So, yeah, I tried very hard for the first sort of 50 minutes to just play everything with a straight bat, as they say in cricket. FIRE!

Tala, good morning. Good morning, Greg. Welcome to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Thank you so much. It's a team of brothers this week, except there was a dropout, wasn't there? There was a dropout. So you're Jordan's cousin? Yeah.

I am Jordan's cousin, yeah. Great. Well, thanks for being on this morning. And I've been told that you are willing to do a deeper voice if we require it. No worries at all. But I do think that would be a little bit silly. And today, April Fool's Day, of course, is for the serious people to have their day. So I don't think we should be silly today, Tala. But if you were being silly, what would that voice sound like? Hooray! Lads, lads, lads, lads! Right, OK. Just wanted to check. So, Tala...

So tell me, tell me about you, please. What do you do? I'm in the hospitality sector. I live in Southampton and I'm 23. Nice. Well, thanks for being on the show today. So are you, did you listen to the quiz yesterday? What did you make of Jordan's performance? Um,

I think I've got very high standards to live up to, actually, and I'm not too sure it's going to go as well. Well, we could give you a point already, I guess, for being silly, and I don't know, sort of against the rules of today, but I will give you a point for the...

Thank you. So we're already on one. We're already going to give you another one because you were a last minute replacement and you're not one of the brothers, which is to be appreciated. And let's get on with the quiz. 15 points is your score to beat. You're already on two, so we're already good. Here we go with all your questions on yesterday's quiz. Your time will start when you give me a first answer. Yesterday was Jack Antonoff's birthday, but which espresso and bed chem singer has he worked with recently?

Sabrina Carpenter. Correct. And we're off. It was the last day of March yesterday. What month are we now in? April. Yes. A warthog celebrated... Careful with this one. A warthog celebrated its 14th birthday at Oakland Zoo. Please give me your best impression and very serious impression of a warthog enjoying its birthday party. It must be accurate. I'm going to give you two points for that. Which Flowers and Wrecking Ball singer dropped a new track, Something Beautiful, yesterday?

Miley Cyrus. Correct. Where did archaeologists discover a trove of ancient weapons? A national park in Texas or one of the Kardashian sisters' walk-in wardrobes? Texas. Let me just stop the clock there. Producer Henry, that was actually quite a silly question. Yeah, it was quite. I wrote it yesterday, though. I'll let you off. Yesterday was National Tater Day, but which greedy singer, also called Tate, is performing at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool?

Oh, I should really know this, but I don't. Tate something or other. You know her surname? No? No. It's Tate McRae. Wow. A new poster was released for the movie Wicked. Name one of the stars of the movie Wicked. Ariana Grande? Yes. Which singer of Good For You and Driver's Licence posted pictures from Brazil? Oh, my God. Um...

Pass. It's Olivia Rodrigo. Jacob Mensik beat childhood idol Novak Djokovic at the Miami Open, but which sport? Tennis. Yes. Domen Previc broke the ski jump record, but what distance did he reach? 254.5 metres or 2 million miles? 254. Correct. And the... Again, Henry. No laughing. This is not a day for the silly billy.

Final question for you, Tala. I'm ready. The Vietnamese dong shrank against the dollar, but what is the currency of the UK? Right, it's going to kill me. No, wow. Yeah, pounds. Very, very good. Thank you. Let's just count up your score. Did you enjoy it at least, Tala? I did. I felt like I relaxed into it more. My boyfriend Henry was pre-cursing me before, so I was ready. Um, I...

I'm being told here that I might have to deduct a point for you laughing. Okay, no worries. But it is April Fool's. Tala's saying no worries. That makes me feel sad. That makes me want to add a point, actually. So 13 points today, Tala. Thanks for being on the quiz. Very good performance. And it was great. It all worked well.

Yeah, it was good. Thank you so much for having me. We enjoyed the warthog, actually. Yeah, I wasn't too sure what to do there. Yeah, we liked him. He was good. Well, have a good day and we might well get you back on in the final on Friday. We'll see how the rest of the week goes, but have a good one. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. Callum, I've got a problem. Well, no. I'm worried because...

I'm trying to be more serious today because April Fool's Day is the chance for serious people to have their fun. We have fun every day. So I thought maybe I'll take a back seat today, be a bit more serious, let everyone else do their thing. You're doing all right so far. Same for the listeners as well. Listeners to Radio 1 are silly billies. I think maybe today is the day that we all just go, do you know what? Let's let Radio 3 have their fun. Let's let Magic have a laugh, you know?

Places that aren't usually that fun. That's the thing, right? But I'm finding it difficult because my best mate has just sent me a story which I need to... I need to do egg chat. Oh, right. OK, well, we could take a little break from the serious just for a couple of minutes. Or I could try and do egg chat seriously. Oh! We've got a serious version of the theme tune we could do. No laughing! Wait. Egg chat, it's just egg chat...

Egg chat, it's just egg chat. Egg chat, it's just egg chat. Egg chat, it's just egg chat. No laughing. I can't do it. I can't. It's too good. I'm sorry. The story is too good. You're going to love this story. I can't do series anymore. Egg chat, it's just egg chat. Egg chat, it's just egg chat. Oh, egg chat, baby. I'm back.

My best mate has just sent me something amazing for Egg Chat. He knows me obviously better than most people in the world. And he says you will love this. Headline, man of the match rewarded for egg-cellent display with four trays of eggs. What? Yeah. Someone's given a goalkeeper four trays of eggs for doing good saves. Well, hopefully he didn't drop any. Well, that would be ironic, wouldn't it? Wouldn't that be a lovely irony?

So here's the story. A Norwegian club, Brune FK, where Man City's Erling Haaland started, have come up with a novel way to award their player of the match a prize by giving them eggs. Why eggs? I mean, love eggs, but why? Love eggs. Why not eggs? I'd love to be... If I did a good show, if the big boss came in with a load of eggs, I'd be like, thanks a lot. I'll work even harder tomorrow.

I would love to be rewarded with eggs. Four trays of eggs is a lot of eggs. So there's a big association with farming with that club. They chant things like, we are farmers and we're proud of it.

And the idea of the eggs is to sort of, as a nod to the local industry, farming and agriculture and stuff. So see, that's a serious part of it. So you're kind of still doing this thing. It is quite serious, isn't it? And also, I checked, this was a story from yesterday, so it's not an April Fool. And also, the goalkeeper, Jan de Boer, is pictured on the thing and he looks so miserable. Does he not look happy with his eggs? That is a man who didn't want eggs. That is a man who wanted a couple of grand. LAUGHTER

I'd say. At least like a bottle of champagne. Yeah. They don't do that anymore, do they? That's man of the match. I don't think you get that. What? Player of the match. What, champagne? Yeah, I don't think you get it anymore. So, I've had an idea. I think we should reward the listeners with eggs. Why not? Do you go and deliver them for them? I think I could get some eggs sent. Why don't we make it into a proper competition?

We're not allowed to make it into a proper competition because that is against BBC policy. You should have seen the faces. You should have seen the faces of everyone opposite me then. I've never seen them more serious. I've never heard serious faces before, but that's the first time that's ever happened. They started waving their arms, going like, don't call it a competition. You're not allowed to do that. So it's not a competition, but I...

But I, no, no, but I, as a citizen of the world, as a citizen of the world, I'm allowed to send another citizen of the world eggs, OK, that I deem worthy of them. Has that got us out of it, the legal loophole? You were getting there. As I was saying, I will be at some point today...

At some point today, I will be... In fact, let me make it serious. Today on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, one of you listening will receive eggs before 10.30. A lucky, lucky listener will receive a tray of eggs from me. This is not an official competition. So we need to just decide why we're going to give people eggs. How are you going to narrow down to the one person? I think funniest text...

I thought we were doing a serious day though, weren't we? Yeah. Good voice note, something funny, a good suggestion on the show, a funny caller. Okay. Somebody listening now will receive eggs from me between now and 10.30. Okay? But definitely not as a competition or anything like that. No, and it's not even, not an April Fool either. I've never been more serious in my life. What?

So thankfully we're back. It was a tough 40-odd, 50 minutes. And then we just continued to have a laugh, didn't we? Radio One's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. This is Egg James giving away eggs between now and 10.30pm.

Again, not an April Fool's, honestly. This is what we're like every day. I don't know if I can give away eggs every day. They will, just to clarify, they will be real eggs, okay? And I will pick, I'm into my eggs in a big way, so I'll be picking, it'll be a premium egg, it'll be a Burford Brown, might even be a cackle bean if you're lucky. Oh yeah, I know my eggs. Probably my favourite food.

Sam in Huddersfield says, are you basically saying you're the Easter Bunny? Yeah, but they won't be chocolate. They will not be chocolate. Cracking idea, says Connor in Bolton. Good. Greg, why don't you give the eggs to the guy who texted in the alternative name to Penn Badgley last week? The guy that called him Penn Behaving Badgley. He deserves the eggs, surely. Interesting. A few people have mentioned that. That guy, Andrew, is a vegan. Honestly, you couldn't make this up.

But he's a vegan, so he wouldn't want those. It would be a waste of eggs. Lucy's in Leeds and says, that sounds like an excellent idea. Thank you. Are you Egg James now? Yes, I am Egg James. I'm ecstatic about the prospect of getting these, says Jess. Really, Greg, you should have said clucky, clucky, listener. That's true. I'm putting you to the top of the pile so far for that funny message.

It's someone who just does something that is great today. Someone that's a funny, funny listener, funny text, funny caller, whatever it is. Hello, Greg. It's Ellie and Betty just waiting to go into Breakfast Club School. Betty, age nine, would love your eggs, please. Ready? Egg chat. Baby egg chat. Egg chat. Baby egg chat. Oh, that's tricky, that. That's very good.

The game's only been on for five minutes. We've already got someone who's a real contender. Congratulations. You've received Greg's eggs. Yeah, thanks, Sam in Dover, for the voiceover. Do Betty and Ellie get the eggs? I'm going to just leave it with me a little bit, but I will be sending some eggs to your door. Oh!

This morning on The Breakfast Show. That is a solid gold promise. We started Neighbour Things. It's the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. And today we're doing Neighbour Things. Neighbour Things, Neighbour Things. Neighbour Things, Neighbour Things. We've done Mum Things, Dad Things, Nan Things. School Things. All sorts of things. Neighbour Things is what we've wanted to do for a while and I think it's going to be a good one. We'll get some good juicy stuff. Hi Becky. Hi.

Hi, how are you? Pretty good. What's your neighbour thing? So me and my partner have just moved in together into a little cul-de-sac and we went for a walk, saw a ginger cat that we've been really, really close with.

The owner was next to the cat, told us the name of the cat, told us the name of their dog. We didn't introduce ourselves and we still don't know their name either. So we know the name of the pets, but we don't know the name of each other. It is a fantastic neighbour thing. Really, really good. I know that the dog next door to me is called Elsa and it takes me a while to remember who lives in the house in terms of humans. They are not as important as the dog.

Oh, definitely not. Or the cat. What are the names of the dogs and the cats then, Becky? So the cat is called Rodney and the dog is called Maggie. Good. That's all you need to know. That's fine. What other animals have you met that you know the name of but you haven't bothered with the humans? So go for it. Give us a little roll call. So you've got Rodney, we've got Maggie. Who else? So we've got Buddy, the dog next door as well. And then next door with my parents,

We've got Alan the dog that we know, but that one, I do know the actual neighbours' names as well. Just compiling a list here, actually. So it's not just Elsa who's next door to me. We've got Frida who's on the next road who we see on our little dog walks in the evening. We've got this really lovely old lady. I don't even know her name, but her dog's called Boudica. Do you remember that one? You would remember that one. We would love to.

When we met her, we went, oh, what's your dog called? She went, the dog's called Boudica, darling. Oh, you're amazing. Shouting Boudica in the park's a bit of a vibe, isn't it? It really is, yeah. Very brave. Yeah, she's quite well-to-do, so she goes, Boudi, Boudi. Yeah, she does Boudi, yeah. Legend. And they still called it Alan so that he could say that he was going to the pub with Alan.

And then it's the dog. Alan's a great... Do you mind if I bring my mate Alan? It's a little Spaniel. Good. All right, Becky. Cheers. All right, cheers. Bye. Neighbour things, neighbour things. Neighbour things, neighbour things. Celebrating them next door. Oh, those lot next door.

Tricky relationships, aren't they sometimes? Neighbourly ones. My dad's neighbours call him a binfluencer because he always puts his bins out on the street first and everyone copies. Really comes into his own over the Christmas season. Binfluencer is an amazing term. I'm going to nick that because I always look down the road to see what bins are out that day.

And then I'll go back into the house and go to Bella. It's Big Bin Day. It's Big Bins. It's an all bins day tomorrow. But only based on number 15, putting them out. My neighbour thing would be when you're cutting the grass or you're washing the car and that one neighbour comes out and walks past you and goes, here mate, do you want to do mine after? Always. You can always run that.

Always rely on that. Maybe there's a great safety in it. I always had a neighbour who, when I got a haircut when I was a kid, he'd always go, oh, add your ears lowered. Always. Just pointing out things. That's what neighbours do best. Joe, good morning. Good morning. Go on then, give us your neighbour thing.

So, Greg, when I bought my house, it was a total wreck. And I used to leave the bins at the end of the driveway for the builders to use. I noticed that the bins were getting full, but not with my rubbish. One night I turned up and the garden bin was full. But the weird thing was I hadn't actually touched the garden that week. So I started to walk back to the house and I thought, oh, it's not an issue. I got halfway back to the house and I snapped.

And I basically turned around, grabbed the garden bin, and I tipped a whole bin full of grass clippings all over my neighbour's pathway. Joe, that is... Wow. You're doing things that we can only dream about doing. I would never go that far, I don't think. And then did it stop?

Well, nobody actually used my bin again, but the worst part of it is my neighbour, who's now late, bless him, he leaned over the fence and he was like, are you tipping rubbish over my pathway? And I had to look him dead in the eye and deny it. But had he been putting clippings in your bin? Well, I assume so because, well, Joe, nobody did it again ever again. That's because he died. After I had that conversation. That's because he's dead. Right.

He never did it again because he's dead. That's why. You're making it bad now. Do you know, my dad did a similar thing. He was, I don't know what it is about parents. I don't know if this resonates with anyone. If you ever get a skip, dads in particular, it's quite a dad thing. They get really protective over the skip. So my dad got obsessed with the skip.

when we were a kid it was like oh I've got this skip I don't want anyone putting stuff in the skip this is our stuff this is our skip for our stuff and someone put a bag of dog turd in the bin he saw them do it he went out of the house picked it out of the skip and chased them down the road and said I think you've dropped this

I mean, I respect the pettiness of it. I could never do it myself, but fantastic work from Alan and from you, Joe. Well, it's done now and nobody uses my bins apart from me now, so we're all safe. Everyone's terrified of you because you're a maniac. Joe, have a good day. Thank you, and to you. Hey, stay out of trouble. What a laugh.

Neighbour things. Celebrating neighbours. Michelle says, I'm dying over here, that grass clippings bit. Best level of pettiness. I'm so here for it as well. Hi, Greg. My neighbour thing is, my neighbour once woke me up at 4am singing a church remix of Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Love. That was beautiful. If a little haunting. Voice notes, please. We have a neighbour that lifts a couple of doors up from us who is known on the street as Mrs News of the World.

She's a lady that knows everything about everyone and everything that's going on in the world. So you want to know anything, you go see Mrs News of the World. Mrs News of the World. Here's a good neighbour thing for you Greg, pretending to be on a phone call in the car while sat on the drive to avoid any small talk at the end of the day.

Jess is in sunny Bude and says we never need to check the forecast as we can guarantee that as soon as we step out onto our street one of the neighbours will give us an up-to-date weather report. That's nice, nice community. That doesn't happen in London, let me tell you that. So my neighbour thing is giving a random neighbour a key to your house so you don't know anything about them, you don't know if they have a criminal record or anything and yet the welfare of your plants is still more important. Oh yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, the dog next door to us, we've given that dog a key to our house. And then the owners of that dog are allowed to use it in case there's a problem next door. Doing a load of fresh laundry, hanging it out, all satisfied, only to find out that your next door neighbour has just started a bonfire. Nightmare. Absolute nightmare. Oh, me sheets smell of smoke. Morgan! Morgan!

Hi. Welcome to the Radio and Breakfast Show. This is your first time on the radio, isn't it? It is, yeah. First time caller. Long time listener? Oh yeah, definitely. I've always been listening. Nice to have you on, Morgan. This is good. What have you got for us?

So my neighbour, well, all of my neighbours are obsessed with my partner because he's a paramedic. And I don't think they know what I do or care. But they always ask about him. How's his shifts? Oh, we're watching 999 on the front line. And they don't care about what I do. They just want to know what he's been up to. Well, it's one of those jobs. It is a job that's

Undoubtedly, everyone thinks you're a legend. Everyone thinks you're... Well, I mean, you are quite literally a hero. So I guess it's one of those jobs that's endlessly interesting because you've just got endless stories as a paramedic as well. I'm definitely like that. A friend of mine's partner is a paramedic.

And Nadine always gets more questions from me than Matt does because it's just more, her job is more interesting. So, well, look, Morgan, this is your moment. What do you do? Let's get interested in you. Well, I work in buying for a well-known supermarket, a

So it is interesting and I do really enjoy it, but it's probably just a bit niche. And I think paramedics are probably, yeah, like you say, a bit more hero-y, a bit more well-known. Yeah, I've got to say, I think your neighbours are right to not talk to you about your job, actually. No, I would be interested because I guess within that, you're buying eggs, are you? Buying eggs? No, clothing, but we do sell eggs.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Is your partner there? I'd like to have a chat to him, actually. Morgan, thanks for being on. No, he's actually just come off a night shift, so no. Well, wake him up. Let's have a chat. No, please do not. Morgan, thanks for being on. And thanks for being on the radio for the first time. How was the experience? Thank you for having me. Yeah, great. I love listening to you guys. I think you're so fun and yeah, awesome.

Brilliant. You are the guys now. You're on. You're making the fun. So thanks for making the fun. Got loads more good voice notes. Have a listen to this one, Morgan. What did you make of this? My neighbour thing is when your next door neighbours decide to mow their front lawn or trim the front hedge that divides our two properties and only cut half of it. So there's a visible line straight between our properties. That's not their job, is it? Not their job?

To the letter of the law, he's doing it right. The socially awkward moment when you have to go round to your neighbour's house, you've never met them before, but you have to go and pick up your parcel. Whoever it was delivered it there instead of your house. Oh, I've got to say, I think that might be the winner.

Morgan, does that resonate with you? Because that makes me feel anxious to my core. I really, I love talking to, pretty much, I can talk to anybody and I really like that. I talk to loads of people on the radio, obviously, like you right now. But there's something about have the shame. Why is there a weird shame of having to go to your neighbour

And I have to really, me and Bella have to psych ourselves up for it. And we sort of take it in turns and I go, you go, you have to, please go. I went last time. Please, please go round. It feels so embarrassing. Why is it so embarrassing? And she feels with dread the idea of a parcel being next door. You have to go, oh, I'm so sorry because it's in. But anyway, good, really good neighbour things today. Morgan, have a great day. Thanks, you too.

I've got a cat-based one, which a lot of them we've just gone through with neighbour things. Very relatable. Very much like I'm sure people nodding at the radio being like, oh yeah, bins and parking or whatever it might be. But this one... There is a somewhat peculiar lady who also lives in the same road, almost opposite me. And she takes upon herself to pick up people's cats and deliver them back to their front door.

She will pick up the cat, walk to the door, doesn't matter where it is on the street, knock on the door, and then the owners will come to the door and she will present them with their cat and say that she thinks that the cat wants to go in. Yeah, can't relate to that at all. That's got the cat cab. What's happening there? Only endorse it, eh? I was ready to make a decision on who deserved the eggs. BBC Radio X.

This is not an April Fool. This is just very normal fare. Egg chat. It's just egg chat. Egg chat. It's just egg chat. Chat, baby. Oh, Amy, did you want a big one? Yeah. Oh, sorry. My best mate sent me a news article about a Norwegian football league.

that instead of money or a bottle of champagne, they reward player of the match with trays of eggs. Real story, not an April Fool, I've checked. So this is goalkeeper Jan de Boer was Brunner's best player and was given four trays of eggs. It was to celebrate local industries, very agricultural, very farmy, lovely idea.

That is a great pick-me-up. Well done. Good day at work. Here's some eggs. And I think we should do the same for the listeners, for you. And that's what I've been keeping an eye all morning on your messages. Who's been funny? What callers have been great? What have you been sending through? Who's just had a good vibe? And I promised one of you a box of six eggs before the show is out. And I will send them personally.

I won't deliver them personally, that would be insane and it would be impossible. But I'm going to send them personally to you this morning by 10:30. And I have been monitoring the messages all morning. Who's going to get a tray of eggs? Just for being good. Airman Tamworth says, "Morning Greg, I'm celebrating being promoted today. Your eggs would make the celebration even better." Sky H12 sent an egg fact through.

She says the colour of an eggshell depends on the hen's earlobe colour, e.g. a hen with a red earlobe will lay a brown egg. We're actually sort of... Producer Tom went in quite hard, really, on 12-year-old Skye and said that she's not necessarily correct all the time. That sometimes happens. Matt in Southampton, this was close. This was very close, Matt. He sent a message saying, ''All this egg stuff is typical BBC yolk nonsense.'' Loved it. ''Careful, the yolk-a-rassi will get you.''

Tia in Surrey has simply just said, 10 seconds ago, a message comes through that says, I want eggs, please, eggs. That's not enough, I'm afraid. There was one clear winner in my mind, and I'm going to call them now. It was a message that came through a little while ago. Let's see if we can connect. Calling the worthy recipient of the eggs. Hello? Alice, you are live on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. Please do not swear.

Hi. Thanks for picking up. You want some eggs? Yes, please. My dog would like some eggs. Your dog would like some eggs. Tell me why you think I've picked your entry as the best one. Because Luna likes to sit patiently at the window, wishing for food.

You sent me a picture of your dog, which is a really, it's an easy way to get to me, and it worked. Nothing if not predictable. It was a dog staring longingly out of the window, waiting for egg deliveries. Now, does Luna the dog like eggs? She loves scrambled eggs on a Saturday morning, and I'm pretty sure I might have to make her scrambled eggs for tea tonight. Mm-hmm.

You better. You better get ready because those eggs are coming your way. Congratulations. You get today's eggs. You're a star listener. You're the eggiest listener. And those eggs are going to be, I need to get moving on this. I'm going to play a song because I need your details. We're going to get your address. Where are you at the moment? I'm in work. What's work? I'm a primary school teacher.

Right, so I'm sending eggs to a primary school now? Yeah, yeah. Will they be... You're busy, surely. Are they going to be able to be received? Yes, yes. I'm out of class today, so I will be in the office waiting. Right, so on Deliveroo, I'm saying give the eggs to reception and ask for Alice? Yeah. OK.

I need to do this because we've only got an hour and a bit of the show left and I really want to get them. Whereabouts are you in the world? So Newport in South Wales. Newport in South Wales. All right. We're getting the eggs there. It's going to happen before the end of the show today. Alice, stand by. Luna will be very happy. Thank you. I'm doing it for you, but I'm mainly doing it for Luna. Egg James has ordered them. Thank you.

They will arrive, it's telling me, between, oh, it's going to be close, it's good drama, between 10.05 and 10.20. So hopefully there's no delays in Newport with the eggs. BBC One. Egg update. The eggs are being picked up now by Julius in his Seat Ibiza. And if you spot him, if you're in the Newport area, he will be travelling down the A48 very soon.

It's got to pick them up from the supermarket and then take them to Alice at the primary school in Newport. Exciting morning for eggs. Estimated arrival time is still between 10.05 and 10.20. If you just switched on, I've been sending eggs to listeners today. Just for good service, just for good behaviour. BBC Radio.

Okay, if you've just switched on, you won't know what I'm about to talk about, so I'll explain. We found out that there's a Norwegian football league that gives player of the match eggs. They get trays of eggs if they play well. I love the idea. Spreading joy and saying thanks through eggs is a nice thing. I decided that there would be one listener that would receive some eggs from me this morning. That listener is in Newport. She's called Alice.

I ordered her eggs just before 9.30. The eggs have been collected from the supermarket. There's now a drive along the... I guess it's going along the M4.

I probably should have picked a closer place. Anyway, the eggs will arrive at 10 past 10. That's what's happening. Julius in his seat at Ibiza. He might well be listening. Imagine he's listening. Yeah, Julius, I'm talking about you. You've got some very precious eggs on board. Precious cargo. They're heading to Alice, who works at a primary school. They'll be there just before the end of today's show. Very exciting. I'll keep you updated on that. And then, as I was doing all the latest things after 10 o'clock, finally...

My boy Julius delivered the goods. BBC Radio 1. We might have the egg delivery during All The Latest Things. I think the guy is outside the primary school. Alice won some eggs, courtesy of me, on the show this morning because she was funniest. And I think the eggs might be there. I'll start All The Latest Things and we might get... Radio 1 breakfast. All The Latest Things. We might get live egg handover. We might do. We might get it.

My guy Julius is waiting outside the primary school with a carton of eggs. And let's do all the latest things. Let's start with Miley Cyrus. She announced that she's releasing a new album called Something Beautiful. She announced this last year that it was basically a visual album with a musical film. She's released some music from it. The first song we've heard is this. It's called Something Beautiful. Tell me something beautiful tonight.

She also dropped a teaser for first single End of the World. Let's pretend it's not the end of the world. She's also dropped a track called Prelude, which is some poetry. Like when following an image from a train, your eyes can't keep passing landscapes from being swallowed into endless distance. But let's leave that for a second because breaking news, hopefully not literally because eggs, but breaking news, Alice. Hi.

Have you received the eggs? I just collected the eggs. From Julius? Nice man. They're all here. Yeah, they're all there. Are they? They're all there. Always check your eggs so they're not cracked. I checked my eggs. The office thought I was playing some sort of April Fool on them. No, no, no, no. No April Fool's here. We're not doing that. These are real eggs. They're yours. They're yours and your dogs to enjoy later. Thanks for being a valued member of the Radio 1 listenership.

Thank you. Luna's going to love them. I hope so, too. Enjoy those scrambled eggs. Thank you. Bye. Bye. That was the best bit of all the latest things we've ever had. Alice, have a great day. Let's go to Denise Welsh now. So, Mattie, it's a tough listen sometimes, isn't it? Next up, we go to Mattie Healy's mum, Denise Welsh. So, if you were online at all over the weekend, you'd have seen the terrible news that Denise Welsh...

had been blown away in a cross-channel hot air balloon flight to France. Well, of course, this wasn't true, but it was a great idea and

Thankfully, she went on Loose Women to talk about it all, to debunk the fake news. The meme started. I was in the balloon with Mariah Carey. Lady Gaga was involved and she had been quoted saying, I'm worried about Denzi, get the search parties out. She tried to explain where the news came from, but like all of us, was completely stumped. Ben was saying, there, where did this come from? Absolutely no idea. It doesn't matter.

Regardless of the truth, it was a story that gripped the nation for a few hours at least. A TikToker called Jake quickly put together a trailer of the eventual ITV miniseries that I'm sure we'll see one day, probably starring Stephen Graham. Stephen Graham will of course come to the rescue.

And finally, we go to Vic and Jamie. Later today on Going Home from 3.30, they have an emergency. Hunk emergency. It's a hunk emergency. Emergency. Hunk emergency. They've got actual Jason Momoa on to do a round of Kids Ask. That is where kids will ask Jason Momoa cheeky and cute questions. He's not allowed to say no. You can hear him answer this question from Grace. I'm Grace. I'm five years old and I love dogs.

OK, that one from Alfie. I'm Alfie and I'm 11 years old. I'd like to know if you can do any impressions. I can do one of a racing car. RAR! RAR! RAR!

OK, you can hear that full interview on Going Home with Vic and Jamie today. And you're up to date with all the latest things. Radio 1 Breakfast. With Greg James. And that's the end of today's show. What more could you possibly want? I'll be back tomorrow. We'll do a round of sexy or not sexy and all the other usual fun stuff as well. So have a good rest of your April Fool's Day, you bloody fool. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast.
