BBC Radio 1. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. It's Wednesday, it's the Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. Welcome, this is Greg James and the highlights of today's show include some brilliant callers today. I mean, we have brilliant callers every day. We're very lucky, we're spoilt with good callers. But today, everyone was on good form. There was someone who wanted to tell me off. There was a couple of people telling me silly reasons they'd moved.

And we had a great quizzer. We also had a really good caller on What Is That? What is that? What is that? And...

Let's start with... Where should we start? What was everyone's favourite spit? I like summer things. What did we start with today? What were we talking about? Fans of the heatwave. Oh, fans. Yeah, we were talking about... Me being smug. Smug Henry. Here's the very start of today's show. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. All Day Breakfast.

Good morning! Welcome to Wednesday. The Radio 1 Breakfast Show is on. Good morning, Callum and Leslie. Morning! Heatwave in some parts of the UK. Very, very hot. Very, very hot.

It's very difficult to find a fan in a heatwave, isn't it? Yeah, I know. There's a rush on them. You've got one, though, right? We got a fan a few years ago, a good one, because we've got a dog who doesn't like the temperature to go above 12 degrees. Of course. Because he's always wearing a coat, and he hates it. I mean, he's just walking around the house going...

Oh, please. Please. To be fair, that's me some days when it's really warm. Yeah. So if you're trying to find a fan at the minute, difficult. Mr. Smuggo over here on The Breakfast Show, Henry, bought an amazing fan he was boasting about, but bought it in January. Oh, my goodness. And made everyone, made producer Amy very cross this morning because he was sitting there and said, I got 10 hours sleep last night and I was very, very cool. There's a lesson there for all of us.

Buy your fans in January and buy your winter coats now. Buy them right now, today. Buy your Christmas lights now. Today's the day to do it. If you want to be Mr. Smug-o come December, then get a tree today. Think about it. Forward planning. Be like Smug Henry. You buy your fans in January and your big winter stuff in June. Okay? And that is maybe being a proper grown-up.

Got your Christmas night sorted? Not yet. Right, get on it. Oh, go, go, go, go. Do it now. So that's good. That's a good idea, I think, that. And then loads of people text in saying that they bought their barbecue in April and they... What else was there? There was a... De-icer. De-icer, that was it. Yeah, yeah, they said go and get de-icer now, stock up for the winter months. Just an idea. Just a little bit of consumer advice from The Breakfast Show. Don't do enough of that.

Mainly because it's boring. But yeah. We're not very good at it. No, that's also another very valid point. Martin Lewis, eat your heart out. Do you know Martin Lewis used to be on Radio 1, I think, every month?

Why? Do you not know this? No. Joe Wiley, who used to do the Live Lounge, Martin Lewis was basically given his first big break on Radio 1. He was on every month, I think. She would have like a revolving list of experts. She used to have James King doing movies. She would have...

A guy called Johnny who did something else. And then Martin Lewis was the money-saving expert and he was on it every month. That is mad. Yeah. It was useful. Really useful. Maybe we should bring that back. We should bring something like that back. What do we get a younger money expert on? They've got them on Life Hacks. Oh, it's a valid point, yeah. Well, yeah, okay. Let's get one of the experts from Life Hacks onto the breakfast show then. Yeah, yeah, nice.

Share the wealth, literally. What I find more interesting is more weird Radio 1 lore. I didn't know that. There must be other weird Radio 1 things from back in the day. There's loads. Yeah. All right, I'll come up with a list of weird things that used to happen. Thank you. Dan and Phil used to have a show. Who? Dan and Phil from YouTube. Yeah. Dan and Phil used to be on. They used to live stream the chart. Kelly Osbourne used to host the surgery. Oh.

Do you not know anything? Oh wait, Kelly Osbourne. I thought you meant Kelly Rowland. But both weird shouts. Yeah, they're still... Yeah, Kelly Osbourne used to be on... Dick and Dom used to host Weekend Show. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Yeah. Used to be an actual doctor on the surgery back in the old days. And you know, Dr Radha was on.

But before that, there was a guy called Dr. Mark, who was this lovely Northern Irish doctor. So could you actually come into the Radio 1 studio and get like a freckle seen to? Just come and get prescriptions. No, no, he would give out prescriptions on air. Give me your address, I'll send you. So that happened. He was a very lovely man. What else used to happen? Write a list for us. I'll write a list. Amy's getting bored. Moving on. I started looking at paddling pools again.

OK, well, with that in mind, let's do Summer Things. Radio 1's all-day breakfast. Summer Things, Summer Things. Summer Things, Summer Things. Summer Things, Summer Things. MUSIC PLAYS

We're extending the brand. Mum things. Dad things. We've had nan things. We've had school things. We've had pet things. And now, a quick blast of summer things. Come on then. Fanta lemon craving. Summer thing for me.

I'm not big into fizzy drinks around the rest of the year. Hot sunny day, get me a Fanta Limon. And I will call it a Limon as well. Oh, similarly, lager top. Sorry. Some people think that makes me less of a man. And I don't care what you think, because it's delicious. That's toxic masculinity. And you know what I'll do with your toxic masculinity? I'm going to pour lemonade over you.

Dan's in Chester and says, panic mode when you hear the ice cream van. Can't find your shoes? Don't worry. Barefoot, legging it up the street in front of all your neighbours. Just pushing kids out of the way, imagine, Dan. Get out of the way! I was having a chat with an ice cream man the other day. He said you can't get the oysters anymore.

I was having a good chat with him. He said his supply issues. He's got a problem with those oyster cones. He can't get them. They're not really around anymore. If you've got a few, hoard them. Hoard them like it's 2020 and you've got lots of PPE.

He was also telling me that it costs like 70 grand for his ice cream van. I was like, you're never making that back. I didn't say that to him, but he then charged me five pound for a 99 flake. And I thought, maybe you are making that back. London things. It's London summer things.

How about pretending you're not stressed while doing a picnic? This is totally normal. I'm absolutely fine with all this. Careful of the glass! Glass, glass, glass, glass. You can never balance anything on the grass, that's the thing. Oh, yeah, we just, we always do this. Yeah, we just, we love having picnics. Careful, careful, careful, careful.

Flip-flop tan is a good one, says Jess. Yes, that is a good one. How about this is a summer thing, Greg? Trying to swat a wasp away from your drink and accidentally knocking it over everybody else on the table. It's not particularly nice, but trapping a wasp under a glass is a good summer thing. Obviously, to then release it, let's not be mean.

Summer things, summer things. Summer things, summer things. This music really is very versatile. It's the theme tune to about six features. It's good though, isn't it? If it ain't broke. Summer things. Jack, what are you saying? Flying ant day. That's it. Oh yeah, definitely. Flying ant day. Big, big summer thing.

Has the swarm arrived yet? We spotted any? We've got quite a lot of ants outside our front door, which I have to deal with later. But I've not seen any flying ones yet. But of course, that's just how it begins. I'll tell you what's the summer thing, packing some food, taking it to the beach and then getting sand in absolutely every orifice going, including your sandwiches, and then you're finding it everywhere for the next six months. Great use of the word orifice, Paul.

Great in your accent as well. What else? We've got one of those inflatable, bigger than paddling pools, smaller than swimming pool type things in our garden. We just take it in turns to bob around on the top on lilos. It's great. Oh, that's a nice life, isn't it? Lovely. Sam? A long summer's day. You've had the window open all day whilst you've been out at work or, you know, chilling at home. You go to bed and you've got the castle bug life in your room. Very nicely put. Sam in Plymouth.

Yeah, you've got to get your flat and your house in order. You've got to know what you're doing. During the day, curtains and blinds closed. Evening, open it all out. Let the air back in. The glass heats everything up. You've got to protect yourself. Katie, hi! Hi! Welcome to The Breakfast Show and welcome to Summer Things. What's your summer thing? Okay.

What have you got for us? So my mum, when we're sat out in the garden in the summer, she'll move her chair around to get as much sun as possible when there's shade coming out. So we start off at the beginning of the garden and gradually by the end of the day, she'll be sat back getting as much sun as possible. You need to do a time-lapse video of her. Yeah. She'll be dotting around. Yeah.

That's a really nice... You've unlocked a lovely memory from summer holidays when I was a kid where I would look and my mum and my dad would wake up and go, oh, I've been in the shade for half an hour. They'd go, oh, my leg's been in the shade for an hour. Oh, that's annoying. She also does time herself on holiday, like half an hour on the front, half an hour on the back. Yeah, it's true. You do... Got a little egg timer by the side of her. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, I'm cooked and turn me over. Yeah. Just, just, just, actually, you know what? Just rotate me like one of those pigs on the thing. Not calling your mum a pig. I'm not calling your mum a pig, by the way. Not calling your mum a pig. I'm just saying, or maybe a rotisserie chicken. That's slightly nicer. Katie, thank you. Have a good day and a good summer. Let's go to Maisie. Hi, Maisie. Hi, Greg. Welcome to The Breakfast Show and welcome to Summer Things. What's your summer thing?

Then mine is when you've had enough of the sun and you want to spend a bit of time inside, but you feel too guilty to do it because you know the sun isn't going to be there forever and you have to enjoy it while it lasts. Wow. Yeah, what you're talking about there is an existential crisis. Yeah, no, it's true. But also there's a lot of preparation, isn't there, to go out into the sun. You've got all your... Not only have you got all your snacks and your supplies ready and you've got a nice seat outside and you've got your... Maybe you've got your book there or whatever. You've got your music set up. Your Bluetooth speaker's been put out into the garden. That's that sort of thing.

You've also had to do head to toe in sun cream, which takes ages and you want to do it properly so it's applied evenly. And then you go, oh, well, I should just stay out, really. I know this. I get this, Maisie. It's a great summer thing. And then you're in kind of a constant state of stickiness as well because of the never ending apply of sun cream. Although, yes, I agree with you, but I have and I haven't said this to many people.

I mean, you should be wearing sun cream anywhere around the year because you don't want to look like an old crag. But I've been wearing quite cheap sun cream just because I love the smell of it all year. I think it might be my new aftershave. There's a particular... I've got it with me now. I've got it with me now. This is the best. It's just the stuff you get from Tesco's. It's this stuff. It's in a blue... You know, I'm going to say it. It's Nivea, OK? Other brands are available. Smell that. Smell that.

Come on. That's summer. You just sprayed it on Henry's face. That's good. It's nice. Protect yourself from those rays. Isn't that an amazing smell? So good. That's the best smell. That's the nicest. That is summer. The smell of sun cream, Maisie, that is the smell of summer, right?

It is, but it's just the texture of it isn't comfortable enough for an aftershave. I don't know about that. I'm going to reapply. Oh, you're transported. I'm on the beach. I'm there. You're listening to a man smelling his own arm. Anyway, Maisie, have a great rest of the summer. Thanks for being on The Breakfast Show. Thank you. All right, bye. And don't feel guilty for not being outside. You need breaks from the sun. Ellen, hi!

Hello. What have you got for me? Summer things. So my summer thing is when you have butter on the side of the cabinet in the kitchen and it's usually freezing cold. Like 11 months out of the year, it's freezing cold. You've got to get like a sledgehammer into it. But then in the summer, it's just perfectly spreadable.

and you just get your knife in straight away. It's perfect, perfect consistency. And yeah, it just makes me really happy. I was literally doing it when the call for Summer Things was out on the radio and I thought, this is my Summer Thing. Yeah, that's so nice. You know that summer's arrived when that knife goes straight through it. Yeah, yeah, definitely.

feeling ever the best feeling ever you sound as sad as me smelling my own arm because of the sun cream but this is what happens to us because we're so deprived of sunshine that when it happens you've got to take those wins when they arrive haven't you

Yeah, spreadable butter is one of those wins for me, Greg. Have you ever spread it on yourself? No. No. I'll stick to the cream. I'd say that's the right answer. Ellen, thank you so much for being on. Have a great rest of your summer. Thanks for being on The Breakfast Show. And next up on The Breakfast Show podcast, silly reasons you've moved somewhere. Radio was all day breakfast with Greg

Yes, that time of year, isn't it? That period of change of moving schools or going to university or changing staff or planning for staff. We were talking this week about my niece. I took her to go to a couple of open days at universities at the weekend. And I was listening to her and her mates talk about what they liked about certain places. And I was laughing a lot because they were just talking about things like the hills in Bristol. No, I wouldn't go there because it's too hilly.

Well, her friend was like, Leeds is amazing because the accommodation is really nice and they've got a wing stop outside it. That was it. But actually, do you know what? Maybe that's it. You've got to prioritise those things that are important to you. Weird reasons you've moved. That's what we moved on to from that. Annabelle, have you got one for me? Yeah. Go on then. Why did you move and where did you move to?

Well, I moved a few hundred miles from where my parents lived in a small, quiet village. I moved to Newcastle Uni because I watched Geordie Shore and I liked the accent. For good!

that's but you know yourself that's okay right you know yourself and you're like actually I want to be surrounded by that voice and I imagine that you went to a few university nights out and stuff where the cast of Georgie Shore were either in attendance or being paid to be there as PAs exactly yeah I mean that was one of the reasons too I hadn't even seen Newcastle before I applied there I just thought that

to the uni for me and then I visited it after I got the offer. So you got the offer and thought I better have a cursory look around see what it's like but it's also it is also an incredible city I love Newcastle. Yeah it's amazing. So you had a good time and you loved it and did you meet all the Geordie Shore a lot? Um

I've met some of them, yeah, like Scotty T, and he's always out. He's always out. But yeah, it's a great university, and I love it here. So whatever your way in is, is good, and it worked for you. It did. And you still live there? I did, yeah, I do. It's 11 years later, and I don't see myself moving, so it was the best decision ever. Absolutely, an amazing decision. So it totally worked out. So this is fine. There's method in my niece's madness by going, I can't be arsed with the hills, to be honest. We'll go somewhere else.

Georgia, good morning. Good morning, Greg. We've met before, haven't we? Well, I met your dog and then you were also there. This is a common occurrence. So this is what happened. I imagine this happened with you, Georgia. This is how it goes. I'm walking along with my very handsome dog and often people go, oh my God, is that Barney? And they go, oh, hi, Greg.

And that's basically how it happens. I get concerned that is literally what happened. I walked along the road. I saw this gorgeous big brown lab, which I'm a dog person. I saw the dog and I wanted to pet the dog. I went across the road to ask if I could pet the dog. And I went, oh, right. Yeah, that is actually Greg James. So now I need to play this cool because

Because that's a celebrity dog. And also Greg James. I'm under no illusions that he's the big draw. I realise that. He's 80% of my social media game. He is 90% of my personality. I totally get that. Having a dog should be 99% of oneself.

Yeah, of course. Dogs are magic. We don't really deserve them. But anyway, look, I'm worried because we're talking about weird reasons you've moved somewhere. Please tell me you haven't moved in near my dog, which is therefore near me.

I wish that I was that good at planning ahead, but no. I moved because when I was looking at where I needed to go, because I was leaving my parents' place and getting a flat, and I wanted to be near work and near them, specifically because we had a really gorgeous cat at the time. So I was looking around and making my decisions, and when we started all the process for getting the flat that I eventually got...

The cat died. So I made this decision with thinking about I was going to go see my cat all the time. But then as I confirmed that I was moving out, my parents were like, oh, by the way, we're getting a dog, which I've been asking for for nearly 20 years. So I now live exactly halfway between my workplace and my dog. That's good. I think you're prioritising again, much like Annabelle, the right things. And I'm pleased that there's a happier end to that story. How's the dog doing?

She is fantastic. She is a rascal and a menace to society and, quite frankly, the love of my life. That's it. That's how they get you. She comes to see me in the flat and hates it, so I just go to her. You go to her. Oh, see, that's it. They have this control over us where they're like, no, no, you come to me. No, no, no, you come to mine. You come around mine. There's always that one friend who's like, oh, can you come around mine? No, no, come around mine. Well, that's nice. And what's the dog's name? We should give the dog a shout out, really.

Her name is Poppy, which we didn't choose. Her foster family chose it. I mostly just call her Rascal or Beastie. So Poppy, Rascal or Beastie. She'll respond to any of them. Poppy, Rascal, Beastie. You're a good girl. You're a very good girl. And so are you, Georgia. Have a good day. Thanks, Greg. Have a great one. Bye.

I just got carried away and called her a good girl. But it felt... It didn't feel weird. Did it? Did it feel weird? I think Georgia sort of liked it. I don't know. Anyway. I just got overexcited at dogs. You're a good girl. Well, we said this earlier, a couple of weeks ago, didn't we? If someone does something good at work... I don't mind being good-boyed. If someone wants to good-boy me, that's completely fine. But you need to ask permission for a good girl, I think.

We've got another Georgia. Hi, Georgia. Oh, you're right. It's a double Georgia situation. Welcome to the Breakfast Show, Georgia. Thank you. Did you move somewhere for a weird reason? Yeah, so I picked my university based on the fact that I could lean over the fence and stroke some Shetland ponies. Um... LAUGHTER

Sorry, I wasn't expecting you to say that. I mean, why would I? It'd be weird to expect that. But where were you at university? So I went to a university called the European School of Osteopathy. Okay, where's that? In Kent. In Kent.

How many Shetland Ponies are over the fence? There were about three. Were they still there when you finally got to university? Yeah, and when I graduated they were there, so I feel like they were there through the whole process. Oh, they were there, your companions, your guardian angels. My little groupies. Your little groupies just going, how was the lecture today, was it good? And did you go and see them every day?

Yeah, when we were at uni, I did. Yeah, I've had a really bad day. I feel like they're a bit more like an emotional support pony, really. Emotional support Shetland ponies. I think this is an amazing reason to choose a university. So you went down every day and was it just a solo trip or did you take your friends with you? I think, yeah, the friends came as well. Yeah, I think everyone was like, oh, we're going to go see the Shetlands now, aren't we? I was like, yep.

We are. We've had a bit of a day of it. Let's go to the Shetlands and talk it through. Basically. That's so nice. Meet you at the Shetlands at six and we'll have a couple of wines. What a lovely life. And you had a great time there, clearly. Yes, I did. And what I do now, I actually treat horses and treat Shetlands. So full circle. And it was perfect. And do you still keep in touch with the lads? Are they still going strong? The ponies. I think the university is no longer there, but I'm sure they're around.

Oh, no. Has it been overrun by the ponies? It has. Have they taken over? Maybe they have. Maybe that's nice that the ponies have reclaimed the land. Well, it's very... This is exactly the sort of thing that my wife would do, by the way. She would absolutely move for an animal. She would do whatever. In fact, you know what? Last night, she loves animals so much, and this is so sweet. She was out on a dog walk, final dog walk of the night. She called me, and she went...

I've just found a bee. I'm carrying a bee home. It needs to be revived. She said, can you get... We need some water. We need some sugar water. And can you give me a teaspoon? Leave it on the wall outside. We've got a bee incoming. It was like an ambulance calling ahead to the hospital, saying, OK, can you get the operating theatre ready, please? We've got a bee that's coming in. And you know what? That bee has survived.

Amazing. The bee was revived last night. She came in and said, I think it's dehydrated. I said, don't you mean be hydrated? She didn't find that funny at the time. I did. I still stand by that as a good pun. And that's the end of that story. Georgia, have a great day. Thank you. Would you mind, I'm going to ask permission, if I called you a good girl? Yes, you can call me a good girl. That'd be great. That's because you're a good girl, Georgia. I'm a good girl. You're a good girl.

Radio One Breakfast. Dan says, I went to Manchester University from Sunderland purely based on the panini bar that was right next door to the building. That building I'd be in every day. The panini bar was there every day. That's why. Emma's in Sheffield and says, I moved to Birmingham for university because it had an urban outfisters. Hi, Greg. I moved to China for three years after university because I didn't want to look for a proper job and teaching English over there was the easiest option because I am English. Great. Okay.

What do you think about asking permission to call a caller a good boy or a good girl? I quite liked it. Felt good. Georgia was willing. It works both ways. Like, I think if the call goes well, I can say, I think this has gone well. Can I call you a good boy? And you go, yeah. And I say, well, you're a good boy. It's now time for today's What Is That? What is that? Callum Leslie! We're going to do a quick game of What Is That? What is that?

What is that? Oh, yeah, good. It's all... Oh, hang on. Make the reverb deeper. What is that? What is that? It's a very simple guessing game. Probably the oldest game that a radio station has ever done. Probably. Like the mystery sound or the secret sound, but we've just called it... What is that? What is that? Made it slightly more wacky and with no monetary prize.

So today's What Is That? What is that? Is this. Yeah, probably should have. It sounds distressing, whatever's going on there. Should have put a warning on that maybe before playing it because it could trigger people's gag reflex. Too late for that now, of course. I didn't do that at the time and you can't take it back. So I'm sorry about that.

But I'm going to play it again now, so warning. Okay. That is a lot, isn't it? That's a lot. Wow. So, what is that? What is that? Got any inkling? Not really right now. I'm going to have to think about it. Yeah. Where did your brain go when you heard it for the first time? It's something horrible, isn't it? Yes. It's going to be something rank.

Well, I don't know about that. Okay. Answer coming soon, but first I need your guesses. Let's go. BBC Radio 1. Loads of good guesses, Callum. Good, I'm glad. For today's What Is That? What is that? I am quite worried. Are we still stuck down a well? Oh no. Go on. I am worried about this one. Are you? Yeah, I feel like it could be really horrible.

Don't worry, I love hearing you with reverb on. We should get you to do news thing like this. Yeah, that would be interesting. It sounds like you're doing the news to a stadium. Or you're in a cave. Or you're in a cave, yeah. I was thinking more of the stadium thing. Anyway, let's get some guesses. So today's What Is That? What Is That? What Is That?

Ray in Colchester says, is that you after a heavy night out in Liverpool pre-Big Weekend? It's us after Dirty Nellies. Yeah, that fray-y morning. Someone's requested it with the reverb on. Would you like to hear it with the reverb on? Yes. Yes.

Let's get a guess first. What does Jake think? Greg, is that someone having a fantastic early morning stretch and then they stretch a little bit too far and then just get cramped down the leg and it's the end of the world? I would say that's probably what a man sounds like in the very, very, very early stages of labour. LAUGHTER Very good. LAUGHTER

Yeah, we wouldn't be able to cope with it. We really wouldn't. Nor we. Far too weak for that. No. It's not that, no. Um...

Andy the car transporter says someone who's burst a blood vessel after straining to beat the flush trying to beat the flush with their wee no Craig in sunny Croatia oh here we go the lads have been on here we go Craig says is that a Manchester United fan reading the first five home fixtures of the new Premier League season someone's been checking yeah footy banter

However, let's just check with the United fan who's in the studio. What are the first five fixtures you got? We got Arsenal, City and Chelsea, so it's not good. Does that mean that... Is that the right answer? Is this producer Tom on reading the first five Man United games? Arsenal, Chelsea, City... It's not that. It is not that.

Some good guesses. You don't have a guess, do you? It feels like it's someone cleaning a toilet or something really horrible. I don't know. Ben from Hailsham says, it sounds like my dad walking into my brother's bedroom in the morning to try and wake him up. Was it Youngblood doing his vocal warm-ups before yesterday's live lounge, says Craig in Banbury.

I think someone on the line has the right answer. Oh! Eden, good morning. Good morning. Hi, everyone. Hi, Eden. Everyone say hi. She said hi, everyone. Morning, Eden. That's like being back at school. Good morning, Eden. OK, go on then. What's your guess? So my guess as an owner of one of these is that it's got to be a French bulldog. A French bulldog doing what?

Well, they are kind of like a canine reincarnation of an exorcism. A lovely advert for the French bulldog. It's got to be one of those. They make a whole host of peculiar noises on a daily basis. What?

What are they doing when this is happening, though? Well, I can tell you. So this is courtesy of Meg on TikTok. This is the noise a French bulldog makes when it gets a rinse and dry at the salon.

So actually, it's... That's a dog making that noise. It's a dog having a really nice time. Do you think that dog is enjoying it, Eden? Is that like a pleasure noise, do you think? They like to be the centre of attention. So if they can make a noise, they will make a noise. Probably, yeah. Do you take your French bulldog to the salon?

No, that's my dad's job. So he is the designated dog groomer. And does the noises happen when your dad is with the bulldog?

Sometimes. It could be anything, really, but they don't actually sound like a dog. I think they're a bit of an imposter breed. Yeah, yeah. It could just be a little man in a dog costume. OK, well, what's your French Bulldog called? We'll give them a shout out. Her name's Hazel. Hazel. Hazel. That's a strange granny name for a dog, isn't it? It's nice, though. Well, Eden, thank you so much for being on The Breakfast Show today and congratulations, you got today's What Is That? What Is That?

Actually, Eden, I should get you to do a what is that since you're on the phone. OK, I'll put some reverb on you. Repeat after me. What is that? What is that? Yeah. And a French bulldog was what it was. What it was. And that's what it was. What it was. Great. Let's end this feature now. Eden, have a great day. You too. Take care, everyone. Thanks. Take care, Eden. Say take care to Eden. Bye, Eden. Bye. Take care. Bye.

Well done to Eden. Oh, we got Eden back on, actually. Damn it, you're right. PJ's texting and says, Greg, you didn't say good girl to Hazel. Is she not a good girl? Eden, are you still there? I'm still here. Sorry, is Hazel a good girl? She's the best. OK.

Hazel, you're a good girl. Hazel, you're a good girl. Good girl, good girl, good girl, good girl, good girl, good girl. And Eden, can I have permission to call you a good girl? Because the call was very good. Of course. Eden, you're a good girl too. Eden and Hazel are both very, very good girls. There we go. Hazel and Eden, both good girls.

Next, let's get you up to date with all the latest things. Radio 1 Breakfast. All the latest things. We start all the latest things today with some very important animal news. This is a cat called Harry who has caught the attention of BBC News in the east of England due to his antics. This cat is a loving member of the family.

but for one local campsite, Harry is terrorising guests. No! Harry's terrorising guests? How? So the local businesses have been complaining about Harry because he's been blocking cars from leaving the car park and causing all sorts of stuff. What he gets up to when he leaves his South Norfolk home and jumps the fence is calls the company director to write to his owner asking her to stop him. No, not a letter. There's been a letter about our cat...

So we need to interview some of these local business owners, starting with this guy. It's a lovely, cute little cat. And sometimes he darts in, hoping for a little sneaky sausage. That's a butcher, by the way.

I love things like this appearing on the news. A little snakey sausage. A little snakey sausage. Also, can we please let Harry just live his life? When he first came, he was really aloof and he just walked past. But now he's part of the family and he's entertaining for everybody. He's a great character. We all love him. Yeah, he's a great personality. Great guy to have around. You want your cats to be naughty and to be stealing sausages. It's a lovely, cute little cat. And sometimes he darts in, hoping for a little snakey sausage. A little snakey sausage. A little snakey sausage.

Every neighbourhood needs a naughty cat. We've got Sexy Cat round our way. Sexy Cat just always flirts with everybody. As soon as you walk past Sexy Cat, she's on her back just showing her belly and just being like, come over here. Come on, give me a little stroke. Let's go. I know you've got a dog. I know you've got a wife, but come on. All right, Sexy Cat, wind it in.

Next up, let's go to traffic and travel. We've had animal news, it's now travel news. And a guy called Tosin and his mates pulled up to some red traffic lights next to a Rolls Royce. Asked the driver to rev the engine. Who was the driver? It was David Beckham. No way! Serious! He said rev the engine and I'm seeing David Beckham! Give us a bit of rev then. Yeah, I need to hear it.

He says he's too old to rev an engine. Nonsense. But he's also a sir now, so I don't know what the rules are around that. Next up, we go to Ray, who has new music out. Her brilliant new song is called Suzanne. She's done that with Mark Ronson. Paper Magazine had a chat with... Technically, all magazines are paper. Paper Magazine's had a chat with her about her life and music and also talked about her love life. And what's the answer? I'm also so single and I don't...

Like, I'm so unaffected by any of that. Like, it's a barren wasteland. Like, there is nothing to report romantically. That will resonate with lots of people, I think. But it's a good time of year for this attitude. It's a barren wasteland. Like, there is nothing to report romantically. Just enjoy a hot girl summer. And with that, you're up to date with all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. And here is that brilliant song. Mark Ronson and Ray. It's called Suzanne. Suzanne.

And finally, let's do a quiz. Here's Sarah. Sarah! Morning! Good morning. Welcome to The Breakfast Show. Welcome to yesterday's quiz. Thank you. There's only one thing I want to talk to you about. Yeah.

On your fact file in front of me, it says, Sarah can recite, how much is that doggy in the window, backwards. I can indeed. I used to have too much time on my hands before work.

It's, I've never heard of this. I've never heard this. I've never heard anyone do this. This is a first for me. It will be a first for many others. It could be, it could be a radio, it could be a first for the medium of radio. Okay, go. Okay. Window that in doggy that is much how, tail waggly that with one there. Window that in doggy that is much how, sail for his dog that hope do I.

It was over quicker than I imagined. Yeah, I know. It's worse backwards, isn't it? I liked it. I don't know if it's worse. No, I liked it. It's sort of scratched an itch in my brain somehow. Can you do it one more time, slightly slower, please? Window that in doggy that is much how. Tail waggly that with wonder. Window that in doggy that is much how. Sail for his dog that hope do I.

Amen. It does sound like you're doing a prayer, which I really like. Well, whatever you want. That's fine. That's my religion. Let's do yesterday's quiz. 90 seconds on the clock. Here we go with all your questions. What you need to do is get more than 11 and then you are in the lead. You ready to go, Sarah? Oh, no. Yeah. Okay, let's go for it. And in honour of you, I will be reading all the questions backwards. LAUGHTER

Question number one is this. Which What Was That and Greenlight singer announced that she's dropping another single? Lorde. It is Lorde, yes. Jack Draper beat American Jensen Brooksby at Queens in which sport? American football? No, it was tennis, but nice horse impression, which I'll give you a point for. Yesterday was National Cherry Tart Day. Am I a tart? Yes. Correct. Which Cotton Candy and Fleabag singer covered Bittersweet Symphony in the Live Lounge yesterday?

Youngblood. Yes, it was revealed a camera was strapped to a goat during the filming of 28 Years Later. Give me your best impression of a goat directing a film. Very good, very saucy. Two points for that. What day was it yesterday? Tuesday. It was. Casting for Dune 3 was underway, but which Timothy stars in the films? Chalamet. Correct. Alison Ray announced her upcoming international tour yesterday, but is her surname a mum's name or a dad's name?

Mums. It's actually both. And I think it's no... Dinger boy, take that back. You can be a Ray. You can be a Rachel. I think... Well, Ray is called Ray and she's a woman. I'm accepting it, I'm afraid. Bake Off, The Professionals was on TV yesterday. Name me your favourite type of cake. Chocolate orange brownies. Took ages on that one. It was revealed Jenny will be on Hot Ones this week. But which K-pop group is she a member of?

Pass. It's Blackpink. England men's under-19s drew against Germany. What's the capital of Germany? Oh, Berlin? It is Berlin. Who was on the quiz yesterday? Kate. Yes. Astronomers discovered evidence of what? A mystery ninth planet or a new Taylor Swift album? Mystery ninth planet. Correct. And yesterday was Kendrick Lamar's birthday, but which Canadian rapper is he still beefing with? It's Drake. Five.

Really enjoying the horse noises. It's my thinking sound. Yeah, it's a good natural thinking sound. I know you didn't give me that as an impression. I was very disappointed. Well, you didn't need to because you just gave it anyway and I gave you a point, so it was all good. So you got 13 plus a point for your job, which is...

Occupational therapy. Yes, yes. The medical professional always gets an extra point, particularly NHS Legends. So that takes you to 14 points. Well, thank you. Sarah, you're well in the lead. Nice work. Nice, thank you. We will probably be speaking to you again on Friday. Have a good day today at work and we'll catch up then. Thank you very much. Thank you. More quiz tomorrow.

Oh, no, there is one more thing. Melanie that told me off. Radio One's all day breakfast. Melanie, hi. Good morning. You're cross with me. I'm very angry with you, Greg. Please, we take customer service very, very seriously and your call is important to us and so is your happiness. How can I assist your call this morning? You've been giving out false information and making me look very silly with friends and family members. Okay, look.

The advent of fake news means that there was an opportunity for me to do fun fake news and spread silly stuff and infect minds in a good way, like in a fun way. So what seems to be the problem? Well, I can't tell you how many times I've told people that our Royal Highness is actually known as King Prince Charles and now finding out he's not King Prince Charles and it's just a Gregism.

Yeah, this... It's because when he became king, it didn't feel right. King Charles, like, King Charles, well, that's of the olden days. That's Charles I, Charles II, that's King Charles, but...

We've only known him as Prince Charles, so it only felt right that in my head his name's Prince Charles. Which I totally understand and agree with, which is why I think I went along with it and believed you. And we've just been saying it like it's normal for ages. And the other day I said it for the first time in a while and a few people texted in going, did you just call him King Prince Charles? And then you texted in saying, you've got me in trouble. So people said, no, he's not. And you've gone, yeah, yeah, I heard it on the radio. He is Prince Charles.

Yeah, I've Googled it numerous times and got really angry that Google doesn't tell me the answer that he is King Quinn's child. You believe in me over a big search engine. Excellent. Thank you. That's a good level of trust, which I have not... I've not taken care of that trust. Have I at all? I've abused that relationship. So...

I think we can still call him King Prince Charles. It feels nice. But just to let you know, that isn't actually his official title. But in my head, it is. What's in a name? It's just a name, isn't it? We could call him way worse. But, you know, I think King Prince Charles is fine. So are you going to keep doing it, Melanie? Yeah, I will. I will. 100%. I'm sorry that I deceived you.

But it was a nice, fun deception, no? That's fine. I forgive you. Okay, thank you. King Prince Charles would forgive you as well. Actually, another person is just texting saying, I also thought he was called King Prince Charles because of you. I'm sorry. You need a fake news button, Greg. Ellie in Sheffield says, Greg, this...

Melanie listening now, talking to you now is not the only one. You got me too with King Prince Charles and so did Beth in Norfolk. And okay, I think there might be many, many more. It's fine. It's our own little shorthand. If you're calling King Prince Charles, you also know that you listen to Radio 1. So it's a nice thing. We're in a club together. Yay! A club of stupid stuff. Anyway, have a great day, Melanie. Thank you, you too. Bye. That's really fun. I wonder what else we've infected the listeners with. Not in that way. I mean, like in a fun way.

What have we put into your brain that you think is real?

Let us know. You can email, if you want to, greg.james.bbc.co.uk. And the podcast is done. I'll be back tomorrow with Everyone's Rubbish. And then on Friday, we've got some guests. If you're excited about the 28 Years Later film, or even if you're not excited about it, we've got Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer popping in to do Unpopular Opinion and talk all about that film. So make sure you're listening on Friday. And with that, it's goodbye from me. Goodbye. Radio One's All Day Breakfast.
