BBC Radio 1. Radio 1's All Day Breakfast. With Greg James. Hello and welcome to Wednesday's Radio 1 All Day Breakfast podcast. What a nice time we had this morning. We did a really good Is It Just Us with Becky. We got you up to date with all the latest things. We had a very fun quiz. We then did games that you play in your own head.

And I think we should start with the very start of today's show. BBC Radio. Good morning. Welcome to Wednesday. It is the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. And Callum Leslie, good morning. Good morning. Hey, Euros today. I know. That's crept up, isn't it? Isn't it? I think there's too much going on. Do you think? It's just too much. Too much stuff. I know. I say this every year. All the stuff happens in these three weeks. There's

There's just all the sport. All the things. All the festivals, all the things. So much to keep up on, isn't there? There really is. You need a calendar, I think. Thank God we've got you to tell us everything. Or me. And also, as well as all the stuff that's been...

Booked in, it's wedding season. It is, isn't it? And you've got to be careful if your dog's going to your wedding. Right. Because you know the moment when they go, if anyone here knows of any reason why these two shouldn't be married. Yep. You know, speak now or forever hold your peace. All that stuff. No one has ever addressed the dogs.

And it's important to do that, I think, because sometimes... If any person here present knows of any lawful reason why this marriage should not be entered into, they should declare it now. Right? They're all laughing. But does the dog know? Right. What's the dog seen? Oh, no. Because dogs know stuff. Dogs, they're cleverer than we realise. I think they are.

I'd be checking those phones. They definitely always know where food is, so you know. I think they know when there's stuff going on. Obviously, I'm joking. I wish the couple all the very best. That was posted by a man called James Mountain. What a great name. Incredible name. Who recorded that dog at a wedding.

Would you have your dog at your wedding? Well, my mum and dad's dog is coming to my sister's wedding. Oh! In another country. My God. Yeah. When is this? In September. Oh, Rupert. So he's coming. Rupert, he... Look, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. Would you say that Rupert's a good boy? A smart boy? He's a very smart boy. Right, well, let's just see. Make sure Rupert's there. Make sure he can hear...

The person who's doing the wedding ceremony. It's me doing that. You'll be in the front row. You're doing it? Yeah, I'm doing it.

Oh, my God. So, Ruben might be... Hang on a sec. So, you're saying the famous line. Well, if you do that... You'll be doing... If any person here present knows... Are you going to say, if any person or dog... He's kidding me. We can try that. Please, please do it. Please ruin your sister's wedding for content. BBC Radio 1. Breakfast.

Greg, our dog Buddy was our ring bearer last week at our wedding and he howled when we said, I do. That's him going, you do. Ellie's in crew and says, oh my God, is Callum Leslie going to do a fleabag hot priest moment? Feels like that. It feels that way. Double digits to Daisy Eggleton. Great name. Fantastic. Two amazing names we've had.

Daisy! Daisy!

There you go. Have a great birthday. Happy birthday to you. We've got Brandon, the water safety guy in Buckinghamshire, who says our Cocker Spaniel Biscuit is going to be the ring bearer for our wedding. Yeah, dogs at weddings is a big thing, isn't it? We didn't have our dog when we got married. It's almost worth doing our vows again just so we can have Barney there. Shree is in Leicester and says my dog will be walking down the aisle with the rings.

Although I don't have a dog or a man, so no wedding yet for me, she says. Oh, fair enough. No, but it's good to have those plans, isn't it? Hannah in London says, I'm a dog walker and I offer wedding chaperoning for dogs. So far, I've had one booking. But that's, I mean, that's a good start, isn't it? It's pretty good.

Yeah, there's also something else I didn't mention, is that my beef with Stonehenge has gone to the next level. Let's dig into that, shall we? Have you watched the 1975's headline slot from Glastonbury? Have you watched it from the Pyramid Stage? That was the Friday night. And yesterday, you can watch it on iPlayer, by the way. You can watch all of it. You can watch all of it on iPlayer. To your heart's content.

Some amazing stuff. Amazing stuff was captured. I mean, what brilliant, brilliant teams of people to bring all that stuff to you.

People that worked day and night, round the clock, to film all that. Oh, I know. And they're amazing. It's all good. And all the radio. Big up everyone behind the scenes. We get all the plaudits, you know, presenting stuff. That's not a real job. Nah. Real job is filming all that, directing it all, editing it all. Crazy. Big up the iPlayer. Also, big up Stonehenge. Oh, yeah. Maybe now.

So I was talking about the one thing that would improve the Glastonbury experience if you're driving. The A303, quite narrow. Everyone looks at Stonehenge. It takes hours to pass it because everyone is going, oh, look, Stonehenge. Oh, look, there's stones. All the old stones.

You don't need to slow down. People slow down. And as soon as you go past Stonehenge, back up to full speed. Crazy. Just, so I said, over Glastonbury weekend, just cover it up. Cover it up. Put up a big thing.

I still think a tent's not a bad idea. Just put a big tent over it. Big tent, just for a couple of days. I worry that everyone will look at the big tent then. Oh, yeah, and then wonder what's going on in that. You know when you drive past a circus, you go, oh, look, big tent. I think you'll have the same problem. I think it needs to be disguised. Right. Or could it be dismantled? I don't know. Well, they dismantle the whole of Glastonbury. Can they not just...

Just, you know, dominoes. Just topple them over for a weekend. Just push them over. I'm sure all the bits are numbered. Guys, remember where that one goes. Remember that one. It goes vertical, vertical. That one goes on top of the two verticals. That one's sort of just on its own. Remember, they are roughly in a circle. Roughly, it is roughly a stone circle. Remember that, guys. Can you imagine what you'd get if people tried to reassemble Stonehenge from memory?

From memory. Do you know what? It feels like a job for Greg Davis and for Alex Horne on Taskmaster. Yeah, that does, doesn't it? The ultimate Taskmaster would be to disassemble Stonehenge and then reassemble it from memory. That would be good.

So we had a lot of chat about this yesterday and lots of people in the local area were talking about... The best thing you can do for them stones is get a stone crusher and a 30-ton slew down there. That'll sort them out in an afternoon. You wouldn't have to worry about people driving slow then. And it was you who thought that he was still on site. He's still at Glastonbury, yeah. I think Kenny is still there. LAUGHTER

Still there on the Wednesday. Guys, honestly, stop hiding now. It's not funny. No, honestly. No, come on now. Where are you hiding? Hey, no queue for the bar. That's true.

And then we had this one from Lexi. I would suggest no one likes looking at buildings that are covered in wrap with scaffolding around it. So maybe just put a load of that up and people won't look. Yeah, put some scaffolding up there. That's what we thought. But then people would be like, oh, what's happening? It's still an inch. That's true. People would worry. I'm not sure there's a solution to this, you know. People are still, there's always a solution. And we might be getting closer to a solution.

Or legal proceedings. I can't work it out because I've been followed by Stonehenge on Instagram. Yeah, I did see that. For my slander. Ooh, that's a bit of a... In the heat of the moment yesterday, I might have said that it was boring. That's a bit of a side move from them just to follow you, isn't it? By the way, I don't think that history is boring. I just think from a distance...

Just looking at some stones, what are you getting out of that? I just think if you're going to go, you should go. And look, go. Fantastic day out for all the family. Thanks for our good French at the English Heritage.

But you could also go to other Neolithic sites if you want to. There's a, don't, you know, it's not all about Stonehenge. No. What about Seahenge in Norfolk? Okay. That's a wooden henge. Right. Yeah. You've got Skardabri in Orkney. Right, there you go. Orkney's got some Neolithic stuff. Yeah, big into that. Castle Rigg Stone Circle.

Got Thornborough Henges in North Yorkshire. Yeah. It's not just, you know, as the BBC says, other henges are available. They've got so many henges. They are. It's not all just about Stonehenge. In a way, it's undue prominence for us to be talking about Stonehenge. I wonder if everyone knows what the nearest henge is. You should know where your nearest henge is at all times. I think from here, my nearest henge would be Seahenge in Norfolk. Okay. Probably. Probably. I don't know for sure.

Thing is, do I follow Stonehenge back now? I think you do. I think you do. I don't want to be at war with Stonehenge. I think I'd lose. No, it survived a lot of things. Okay, it has. It can seed me off easily. What was it, 5,000 years old? Oh, God. Yeah, I want to pick a fight with some rocks.

But what this does mean is that if we have a friendship now between me and the Rocks, then there might be a way of covering them up or doing a fun thing around next Glastonbury. That's a very good point. And we've got two years to think about it. Okay, let's build a bridge. As I said yesterday, maybe literally. Maybe we need to build a bridge over them so people can't look at them all the time. BBC. One. BBC Radio One. Breakfast.

Some great ideas on how to cover up Stonehenge or how to get the traffic moving. But Scarlett says, some thoughts, Greg. Are you telling me that when you were stuck in that traffic for the entire hour, you didn't look once? Were you just resolutely staring forwards as everyone else succumbs to the temptation? And the best way of preventing it has to be a camera, like a speed camera, pointing at all the drivers. Anyone who looks at Stonehenge, bang, 20 quid fine. Three points on your licence.

Stonehenge could be a great location for next year's Big Weekend, Greg. Could you imagine if we did Big Weekend a few miles away from Glastonbury? Not only would the locals hate us, the whole country would hate us and go, you've already got the biggest festival in the world, I don't need another one. BBC. BBC. Radio. One breakfast.

Kate. Good morning, Greg. I think that to save the traffic on the 303, what we should do is put a big shower curtain on the roadside near Stonehenge. Right, amazing. Because actually you could do that, you know, like in a shower cubicle, you can just put the rings on top of Stonehenge and it just goes all the way around. It's a perfect... That's great. Shower curtain, wonderful.

Dan's in Stoke and says, what about this? Why don't you just put an even bigger henge on the other side of the road? It would stop people looking at Stonehenge. Yeah, but then you'd have a choice of henges. And then I think it might slow things down even more. Dan, I think it's funny, but I do think it will slow down even more because people will want to look at both. And they'll go, I'm just going to have a little look at Stonehenge there. Oh, lovely. Oh, yes. Well, it is nice, isn't it? With the sun setting behind it, yes.

Oh, but I mustn't forget about the other hench over there. Oh, yes. I remember hearing about that on the radio. Yes. It is bigger, isn't it? It's bigger. It is bigger. Judith, it is bigger, isn't it? Look. Yes. Before you know it, you're going at five miles per hour or worse. Dan in Hook. I don't know why this would help necessarily, but it is a nice idea. He said, could you get Pitbull to do a concert there?

Again, that's just going to make people look, isn't it? It's going to make people, that's going to make me, I would pull over. I'd pull over and run across. And a lot of you are very funny and are sending in the same message, which is, surely Greg, you could beat Stonehenge with some paper. Because everyone knows that paper beats rock. It's true. It does. Polly!

Hi, Greg. How are you? Very well, thank you, Polly. How's things? And what's your thought? How are we going to disguise Stonehenge? Well, I think I've got the simplest solution, really. Every summer, Glastonbury or no Glastonbury, it's a nightmare, that road. Lay them down. Just lay them down. They're very old. They could do with the rest. Lay them down. Lay them down. Yeah, disassemble. Disassemble, then reassemble when Glastonbury finishes. Easy.

Do you think there's an instruction manual of them, like an Ikea thing?

I'm not sure. I'm not sure about that. But I would imagine it's quite simple. I'm sure the Stonehenge people would know what to do. They're clever people. Well, there's enough photos of them, aren't there? So you could sort of replicate it. It's like doing Lego. You work off the... Like an air fix. You work off the image on the box. Yeah, you just go... I think that one goes there. Yeah, put that vertical... I think that's vertical there and make sure it's a stone. Yeah, make sure it's a circle. Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe use the domino thing. Maybe put the numbers on before you lay them down. Oh, yeah, that's a nice idea. Number them, of course. That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Polly, it's a lovely idea. Thank you so much. Have a great day. No problem. And you, take care. Bye. Bye. Tabata. Hi, Tabata. Hi.

We discussed your name a little while ago because I thought it was a typo in Tabitha, but it actually is Tabitha, isn't it? Yes, it is. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I'm stupid. That's okay. Come on then, Tabitha. What's your idea? How are we getting rid of Stonehenge? My idea was to put giant mirrors around Stonehenge and my idea was because that's how magicians hide things.

But also, people driving past and staring at it would only see their own reflection. And that's, you know, when you walk past a shop window and you glance at yourself and you're like, ah, no, actually, not a good look today. So people would just drive on past.

to avoid having to look at themselves. Good. I would worry about dazzling drivers with mirrors because it might reflect the sun onto the cars. But this is very good. These are all good working ideas, which we should... No idea is a bad idea. I like it.

Well, the other thing I would warn about is that they did use this same thing in the terrible James Bond film Die Another Day, aside from the fact that Pierce Brosnan's in it and he's an amazing Bond. But they did try and disguise the Aston Martin by putting those mirrors on it and it became an invisible car. And I don't know if that would work in real life. Do you think it would? I don't know. I have seen mirrors being used to kind of camouflage things a lot, but I don't know if it actually works or if it's just, you know. All right.

movie magic well I'm chatting to Stonehenge now because we're friends on Instagram so I'll suggest that they could maybe put lots of mirrors up around it and see if that works yes thank you very much Tabitha if anything it'll be a new thing to see yeah well it's I don't want a new thing to see because other people will be interested in that you see we don't want to make it too good I think your idea might be too good Tabitha but thank you so much thanks bye have a good day Debbie hello come on then what are we doing

So I used to be an events organiser and I think everyone's overthinking it. I think what we need to do is just put up some festival fencing all along the road to just block it from view. But I think what you need to do is add your face onto it just so everyone knows who's responsible for it. That's going to get, that, I think that's going to get refuted.

I think there's going to be all sorts of unholy things written on my face and diagrams and body parts will be put on there. I don't know if that's a good idea. I don't know. Maybe this is why you're used to being an events organiser, Debbie. But I think a big fence is good. Do you think one big...

face of mine on the whole thing. No, I think you need to be really careful with it. I think you need to just choose one photo because if you have different photos of you, then that will make people look as well. So you need to just have the same photo of you with a big thumbs up, maybe saying you're welcome. Just...

pasted all along the fence just so you know you get the credit or maybe it's a speech bubble that just says eyes on the road yeah that's better yeah okay stop looking at this yeah debbie thank you so much have a good day

Thank you. Next up, let's have Becky on Is It Just Us? Becky, good morning. Morning, Greg. I hear you have an Is It Just Us for me. I do. This is a thing that you do that is unique to you that you're going to put out and we're going to test to see if that is true. We'll find someone else maybe who does the same thing. But first, what is that thing? I'm in the dark. The listeners are in the dark. Shed some light on it, please.

So I got back off holiday last week and I realised that I do this thing. So when the plane is coming in to land,

I start counting down from 10 to 1. And if the wheels hit the tarmac when I get to 1, I get myself a little treat in the airport. And did you do it successfully on your last holiday? Yeah, I did do it on the way back, on the way there, not so much. But I feel like you need it more on the way back because it's a bit more depressing. Yeah, I definitely do. What was the treat? Big Toblerone? What did you get?

I actually got myself a little matcha from Pret. Okay, that's nice. Yeah, a little Pret matcha is a nice treat. Yeah, big bag of M&Ms. Yeah, it tends to be a sweet treat. Yeah, that's very good. So it's timing of... And it has to be on the one. Can you just demonstrate how you're doing the ten? Are you doing...

So, yeah, you have to kind of judge it by, I always have the window seat now because I need to play this game. But you have to just judge it by eye. Okay. Susanna, did you have a question for Becky? What was your question? I just thought maybe we could put it into practice and maybe you could do an imaginary plane landing, but plug your ear so you can't hear Becky's counting and see if she manages to get when you land. LAUGHTER

Okay, so you're the plane. I'm going to take off my headphones so that I can't hear you counting, Becky. Okay, this is a lot of pressure. Does the game make sense? Sort of. It makes as much sense as Becky's actual game. So we're imagining that Becky is on your plane. You're the plane. Yeah, I'm the plane. And you're going to tell Becky when you've landed and we'll see if she's counting down from 10 in time. You'll have to just get it based off the sound effects. Okay, here we go. Headphones off, Susanna. Yeah.

Okay. What does plane landing sound like? Oh, I forgot. Here we go. Final approach. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three. Oh, you'd already landed.

I was done already, sorry. It was very quick. I think it was too quick. I don't think it was a very good noise. I lost confidence. I lost confidence in my noise. Our aviation expert is producer Amy. Amy knows planes, okay? She is Mrs. Flight Radar.

Now, Amy, we want you to do your... You're not allowed to have headphones on for this. You must just do a plain landing noise and just feel it, just feel how long it should take. And Becky's going to count down from ten. She thinks that she can get it spot on when the wheels touch the tarmac. OK. Oh, wow, we're going all the way back. Ten minutes till landing. Cabin crew, seats for landing, please. Vroom!

Let's start now. Start now, Vicky. Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two...

Two. One. Got it. She got it. She got it. She got it. She got it then. And I can confirm that Amy couldn't hear Becky, but Becky could hear Amy. That was very... Becky, you got it. You smashed it. I know. I actually did. Let's put it to the test. Are you the only person that does a countdown for Wheels Down? Perfect. I'm going to get a treat for winning that in the meantime. You will get a treat. You should get a treat for that. And then if there's some matches, you'll get some treats as well. Okay.

The treat is important, but also there's the satisfaction of just doing this anyway. But it feels good, doesn't it? This sort of thing when you nail it.

It feels good and it feels even better when you get yourself a little present. Some great voice notes have come in. Steve's first. No, I don't do that, but I think I'm actually going to start. There you go. Summer holidays beckoning just around the corner for a lot of people. That could be a nice thing to add to it. Stephen Blackpool's going to do it. You've changed his life, Becky. Inspiration for the nation. So I don't do a countdown. I use the armrest as like the controls.

I really love that. I really like that one. That's great. Yes, that's very, very nice. Oh, he's got the throttle and he's just, oh yeah, I love that. Great. And you've not put your name on it, but whoever you are, thank you. Sophie, good morning. Hi, how are you? Well, your line's a little crackly. Let's see how this goes. So go on then. Do you do this? Have we got a match here?

So I don't do it for planes, but I do do it when I'm stuck in traffic at a red light, counting down for that green light. So you think you can predict when the green light's going to come? Yes. Well, it's to kind of make time go a bit faster when you're bored. And do you get yourself a treat if you get it spot on?

No, I do a lot of running around, so I'm stuck at a lot of traffic lights. So it's just more of a little personal... It's whatever gets you through the day, isn't it? Sophie, thank you so much. Have a good day. Have you gone through any traffic lights? You've pulled up to talk to me, haven't you? Have you been doing it this morning? I have, yes. I got one on the way here. Well done. Well done, you. Let's go to Bryony. Good morning, Bryony. Morning.

Morning. Do we have a match with you? Sort of. I do it on a plane, but I start from five and I don't get myself a treat yet, but I'm going to start doing that and I might up into ten. You know what this sounds like? This sounds like amateur hour. You're on beginner mode, but we've got Becky on and she's on advanced here. She's counting from ten and she's getting herself a treat. So are you ready to graduate to the next level, do you think?

Yeah, I went on holiday last month and did it from five, but I'll definitely, next time we go, do it from ten and get a treat. So you've nailed it on five, so you managed to do a countdown from five? Yeah. Okay, let me say this. Becky, I think you'll agree. I think she's ready. I think she's ready. I used to do five, upped it to ten, level up. Becky, would you ever go to 15 or maybe 20?

Once I nail 10, I'll go to 15. Okay, great. Well, maybe it's beginner. Maybe you're intermediate because I think maybe, yeah, I think Bryony's in beginner. You're intermediate and then we need 20 is advanced, I'd say. Sounds about right. Yeah. Look, as Pitbull says, the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. So there's always another level to achieve. Bryony, thank you so much. Let's see if we get a match with Tasha. Hi, Tasha.

Hello! Do we have a match with you? Yes, but I don't get myself a treat. It is literally just pure satisfaction. Okay, do you know what though? I think we'll take it. We have a match with you, so you do ten seconds.

10 seconds and when the plane hits the ground then I get satisfaction. Yeah, it's satisfaction but you can also, look, allow this, treat yourself, a little something in duty free on the way home. But I've got three, usually got my three kids with me so trying to get them through

security and all that I don't really have time to get myself a treat you need to make time for yourself Tasha I really do you really really do look and until maybe the kids do it if the kids do it if they count down from 10 as well they get treats as well this could be a way of making them concentrate you know well it started as a game with my kids because they weren't

we're not fans of taking off and landing, so I kind of made it into a game where we count down from 10 to see if we could count down from 10. Lovely. And hit the runway at the same time as the plane. Yeah. But usually we fly at night now when we're travelling, so they're usually asleep, but I just do it myself. Good, as you should. We should all be playing stupid little games. It's fine. We play all these little games in our head and it's great. Tasha, thank you so much for being a match today on The Breakfast Show. Thanks.

Thank you. And Becky, maybe you two should have a quick chat, but can you suggest maybe a treat, Becky, for Tasha that she could get herself? Yeah, Tasha, it sounds like you do need a treat after going with the kids to the airport. So I would recommend something you can't share with them. I'll have a look in August. Nice one, Tasha. Have a good one.

Thank you. We've got some ridiculously good voice notes. I do this all the time, but I always cheat. So when it gets down to like three, two, one, if the plane hasn't landed at one, I'm always going, what?

No, it's got to be a real one, Becky, isn't it? It's got to be real. Yeah, no restarts either. Becky, thanks so much for being on. It's been really good having you there and loads of amazing reaction to this. And we got a match for you. I know, it's great. Nice. We'll speak to you very soon. And when's your next flight?

September now, unfortunately. Yeah, but just get ready for it. Get ready because that countdown is on. I think it's time for you to hit 20. We did some more In My Head games. Radio One's All Day Breakfast. Do you play little games in your head? Do you? To pass the time, do you play little games?

Nat in Kent does. If something is loading or buffering, I basically look away or I'll blur my eyes out so I can't sort of see it and pretend that I'm not looking at it. I think if I'm not looking at it, then it will load quicker. I think that's true, though. Don't they say that a watched pot never boils? That's right, isn't it? No, I'm the same. If I'm trying to download something...

or whatever, then you can walk around the kitchen, you come back and go, oh, are you done? And it does tend to be done. Harriet, good morning. Harriet, okay, she is, oh, we're calling, we're calling, this is exciting. We're calling her live. When she picks up, should I wait?

Oh, hi, Harriet. Hi. That was exciting just then. I was playing a little game on the radio there, just trying to wait for the phone to ring. So sorry. Don't worry about it. Not sure what happened there. You've got nothing to apologise for. Please, apology rejected. That was our technology letting you down. So go on then. What's the little game you play in your head?

So when I'm a passenger in a car and it's raining, I like to choose two raindrops and have them race to the bottom of the glass. Yeah, it is a classic of the genre. This is a really, really good one. And is this a game you play by yourself or do you involve anyone else? No, just a little game in my head on my own. Yeah, it's nice though. It is good. It's a good game, isn't it?

It's a good game. It's fun. It's exhilarating. We do it on the big windows here at the BBC because it's just started raining today. And because we're quite high up here, when it's really raining, it looks like you're at sea because you can see London all grey and then the rain is just hammering into the window. So there's plenty. You could play that game all day if you wanted to. There's so many drops to choose from. It's raining here as well, so I might get the team involved in choosing some raindrop windows. Why are you wasting time talking to me when you could be racing raindrops?

We're going then. Yes, get out of here. Goodbye. James. Hi, Greg. Good morning. What's your one? So, whenever I go to a supermarket, always pick up the trolley and then always turn it into a race against all the other people in the supermarket. Yeah, great. Really good. While also giving some commentary from some classic F1 races.

Who are you when you're driving in your head? I'm usually Hamilton, just because of the classic off goes Leclerc, through goes Hamilton. So I usually sort of send them spinning off and I beat them into the red island normally. So have you sent some grannies spinning round past the cheese? Not quite, not quite. Only a few younger people, which I try and squeeze through.

You can just sort of nudge them into the fridges, can't you, and stuff like that? Yes, yeah. That's good. And sometimes you can get them caught on the little barrier around the corners. There's a little barrier, isn't there? Almost like an apex. Yes, yeah. And then they always have to, like, they always try and turn back into you, Ben, but you just don't give them the space. Yeah. Do you do as I do and take the racing line near the stacks of bottled water? Yes, yeah. You've always got to take the racing line, always cut it in, and if there's anyone there, always try and fit up the inside and take the position.

Yeah, it's nice because you can go wide by the bread and then cut in by the water and then go down the sort of the... And then you're straight into the next aisle. Yeah, really good. That's really lovely work, James. Thank you for doing that. When are you next doing the big shop?

It'll be at the weekend. Okay, well, I look forward. Forget the British Grand Prix. The real race is happening. What's your local supermarket of choice? Usually a Morrison's. Quite a big one, so you've got lots of corners to choose from. Which Morrison's is this? In Skegness. Okay, so Morrison's Skegness is actually the home of the British Grand Prix this weekend. It is. I'll be there. Well, good luck in qualifying, and I hope you get pole. I believe in you, and I think you're going to do well this weekend.

Yes, yeah, thanks for that. Nice one, James. Have a good one. Oh, Greg, I'm in Boston, which is not far from Skegness. Ask James what time he's doing the big shop. Well, in other words, what time the race starts. I'll leave my home track of Tesco and travel to Morrison's for the big one. I know I'll be an underdog not knowing the track, but you've got to back yourself. That's Jodie, who's really up for the big Morrison's Grand Prix at the weekend. This would be fantastic.

Might have to get some extra stewards there on Saturday. Anyone from Morrison's and Skegness is listening. That's the real British Grand Prix. And it's check out and away they go. Sort of works. Does sort of work.

OK, what games are you doing in your head, then? Cam, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. What have you got for me? Let's add yours to the list. So I am a delivery driver and one of the games I like to play is trying to guess people's age based on how they drive. Well, we do What's My Age Again on The Breakfast Show, so you're sort of doing a similar version of this. OK, so it's and it's, I guess, based on driving style, car and maybe silhouette you can just about make out.

Sometimes, yeah. I'm a little bit higher up than them so it's hard to see in sometimes but also time of day because you know not that many people are around on a Wednesday at 10am. So you're looking at and are you judging the car as well? Yes, definitely. Okay, so and are you normally correct?

I don't always get to find out because I drive a very slow van and it only works if I can overtake them. Okay, I was going to say, how do you check? Do you ever pull them over and say, can I check your driving licence, please? I mean, not often, but I suppose if they'd let me, I could give it a go. That's good because you're out and about all day. So this is a good one to pass the time of day, isn't it? Do you have any other games? Do you do a similar game with the people that are answering the door?

Do you think about how old the person that might answer the door will be? I've never, but that is a good one. I should give it a go. Yeah, give it a go today, Cam. You can have that for free. All right. Thanks for being on. Happy delivering. Thanks for the suggestion. Have a good day. Have a good day. Cheers. We should have Megan. Hi, Megan. Hi, Greg. Hi. What game do you make up in your head? So whenever my parents were driving...

and I'm sitting in the front seat. When there's shadows on the road, I press the roof, I press the tongue to the top of my mouth to try and like jump over the shadows. I've been playing this game since I was like eight. These are really, really good. That's a really nice game. And you must be quite good at it now if you've been doing it since you were eight.

Oh, yeah. I even use the... If there's cars on the other side of the road and they create a shadow, I try and, like, jump over them before they get to me. Yeah, nice. No, I get that. I've jumped over a few shadows in my time. So, can you explain the method again? So, what do you... You put your tongue what? I don't know. I put the tongue, like, to the top of my mouth. Yeah.

Pretend I'm jumping. Okay. Eight-year-old me made this up. No, it's good. I just want to get the method so that we can all give it a go next time we're in the car and the shadows are going past. Tongue to your free mouth. And that signifies a jump.

Yeah. Okay, great. So the light parts of the road where it's like you're allowed to touch, but if there's a shadow, you have to jump over them. Otherwise, you get like three lives in front of them. Oh, is it three lives? I was going to ask what the rules are. So it's three lives and then you're dead. Okay, great. Have you told anyone else that you played this game?

No. Because I feel it feels what's happening here is you're explaining it to someone for the first time ever and you're not quite sure how to do it. But do you know what? You have nailed it and I've totally got the game in my head and I will be playing that next time. I honestly thought I was the only one who played it, but no. I mean, you might be. You might be the only one that jumps with their tongue. Megan, thank you so much for being on.

Thank you. And happy jumping. And I'll be doing that at some point soon. I nearly said happy tonguing, but I didn't. I have to, and I have done for as long as I can remember, count the gulps of drink when I'm drinking. And I have to normally do 10 gulps, but I would also accept 2, 4, 5, 8 and 10. What's wrong with 6? 6.

Hang on, 10 gulps of water? When I'm walking down the street, I make sure that my feet land perfectly in each square of the pavement. Yeah. Which ends up making me look like a freak. Yeah, I have moments where I do that. I like that. It's not because I'm scared of the cracks. It's just because I like the...

It's more satisfying to land square in the middle of the pavement slab. I'm with you on that, Jack. I have mini races with people when I'm swimming in the other lanes and they don't know that they're racing against me. And sometimes I smash my own personal PB and sometimes I don't. But they never know. They never know. I race buses down the high street. And look, that's a celebration of us all being wonderfully weird.

And thank you for sharing. Loved it. And now we do a quiz. Day three of the quiz. Rihanna's the captain. It's the bride and her bridesmaids. Oh, Jenny, we've been talking about weddings this morning already. Is there a dog going to be at this wedding?

I don't think so. There could be. Imagine there is. We might get one of these moments. If any person here present knows of any lawful reason why this marriage should not be entered into, they should declare it now. Do you have a dog you could bring along? I don't. I'm a cat person. Do you bring a cat?

I can bring my cat, Kevin. Yeah. I'm sure Rihanna would appreciate that. Your cat, Kevin. That wasn't you calling me Kevin. That was the cat, Kevin. Yes, I could bring my cat, Kevin. Kevin? Jenny, let's get into yesterday's quiz. So what is your role at the wedding? So we've got the bride and the bridesmaids. What's your specific role?

So I'm maid of honour, but I do think my main role will be to try and keep my one-year-old child, who is the ring bearer, try to keep him doing his job properly and not escaping or running wild. What's his name? Theo. So Theo's just sort of tottering around going, eee!

for the whole thing. Yeah, that is exactly him at the minute. It's already, it's already funny. Whatever he does is going to be funny. His new thing is, he's been taught by his friend, by my husband's friend to say, how's that? When he's watching the cricket, that's his new one. He'll just run around shouting, how's that? Wow. Theo sounds like, he's like, very,

well developed already. He sounds like a very smart kid if he's into cricket and he's able to do ring bearing. That's amazing. Well, we'll see on Saturday if he's able to or not. I'm sure everyone will be filming that moment, but it really does need to be put down on record because it could be sensational. All right, well, let's get on with yesterday's quiz. We have 90 seconds on the clock. Do we have some dingers? Yes, we do. Here we go then. One,

Sophie got 10 yesterday. Rihanna got 13 on Monday. Here we go, Jenny, with your questions. Let's see how you do. Question number one is this. Olivia Rodrigo posted a picture of her and Tate McRae on Instagram. But what festival did she headline on Sunday? Glastonbury. She did, and we're off. Which star of the new Pixar movie, Elio, was on The Breakfast Show yesterday to play a game of sit down, stand up?

No? Jamila Jamil. Correct. Jack Draper reached the second round of which British tennis tournament? Wimbledon. Yes. A cow called Nettie was rescued after getting stuck in the mud in Kent. Make a noise like a cow who's stuck in a bog. Moo. Very good. You sounded slightly sad. I'm going to give you an extra point for that. Which singer of Greedy and Sportscar turned 22 yesterday?

Tate McQuarrie. Yes. TV show The Bear was renewed for a fifth season, but is that a show about chefs or cute woodland animals? Chefs? It is. Kylie Jenner followed her boyfriend, Timothee Chalamet, on Instagram finally yesterday, but name a Timothee Chalamet movie. Willy Wonka? Yes. England's women played India in the second T20 International, but who won?

India. They did. The official trailer for what new movie was released? Cat in the Hat or Moose in Some Boots? Cat in the Hat. Yes. It was National Postage Stamp Day. Name a way you could sign off a letter. Bye. Goodbye. You could do that, yes. It would be quite strange, but you could. Which singer of Espresso and Man Child was in a new advert for Prada? Sabrina Carpenter. Yes. What time was it this time yesterday?

7.20pm. Yes, Demi Lovato celebrated the 10-year anniversary of her song, Cool for the Summer. But what season comes immediately after summer? Autumn. It does, and it was the hottest day of the year so far in the UK. What was the peak temperature, 34 degrees or 340,000 degrees? 34. Yeah, but it did feel like 340,000 degrees yesterday. Oh, my God, what a day.

I love the idea of you writing a letter and at the end of it writing goodbye. Make sure you sign the wedding card with that at the weekend. What have we got here? Oh my God, you did really well. You're in the lead. You got 16 points. Oh, wow. Yes, wow is correct. 16, Jenny. You are way ahead of the pack this week. So you're definitely going to be in the final on Friday. You got the bonus point for getting them all. Oh, hang on a second. Do we have a...

Oh, yeah. Bonus point for getting them all right. So you got a full house. Fantastic. Well done, Jenny. We'll get you back on the show on Friday and have a good day today. Oh, thank you. And enjoy the final days of training with Theo as he toddles up the aisle to do that. I'm really excited to see that. Have a good one. Thanks for being on. Thank you. And it's now time for all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. All the latest things. And let's get you up to date with everything. We start with Wimbledon.

All about the tennis at the minute, two days in and already watching it way too late into the night because they can put the roof on now and put the lights on so they can play sort of after 10. I'm like, come on, I need to go to bed, I need to see if Djokovic wins. He did win. Yesterday, Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek got interviewed on the court and I

I really respect this. This is exactly what you should be doing if you get to play at Wimbledon. Now, I just saw at the end there, you've played Wimbledon just a couple of times. How many towels have you just put in your bag? She's taking towels and so she should. Every time I come back from Islam, I think I have like, I don't know, 10 friends and 10 members of my family wanting towels. And then they cut to a clip of her taking even more towels. No, I mean, I have a lot at home.

Trust me, I don't need much more. And if I'm going to play like 15 more years on tour, I can't even imagine. I think I'm going to have to build like another room in my house just for grandson towels. Ah, yes, this is the towel room, yes. I'd steal a towel. I'd love a Wimbledon towel.

Next up, let's go to Real Rosina, who is on TikTok, and she's made a great point about some domestic chores. What do the washing machine gain by lying about how much time it need left? Sis, if you need some more time, take all the time you need. Yeah, the washing machine does lie, doesn't it?

It sometimes says you've got 20 minutes left. You come back 40 minutes later, it's still going. It's still going. I just went to the washing machine to check, you know, just how much time was left because it was time for me to switch it over. It said 12 more minutes. You're a liar. You're a liar. I saw you when you first started. And then the more annoying thing is the incessant beeping when it's done. Like, all right, stop showing off. I heard you the first time. I'll unload you when I'm ready. Still beeping.

And finally, let's go over to Cynthia Erivo. She was asked to talk about some of her favourite vocal performances. She decided to talk about Thong Song by Sisqó. And before you start laughing, hear her out and then hear me out. Why do you need to sing like this when singing about a thong? That whole end section, the whole end section of this song is so unnecessary. It's ridiculous. You don't need to sing like that. And he does. And it's brilliant. Let's go!

You can't tell me that that's not a good vocal because it is a good vocal. That's a brilliant vocal for a song about a thong. Yeah, it's an amazing vocal. I've had a similar conversation before with, strangely, Femi from Ezra Collective, who we were talking about earlier. He was on doing a live lounge and he came and did the 10-minute takeover with us. And we played the thong song. And we just started talking about how amazing it is. We...

We completely reassessed it. The thing about that song, and there's loads of things about that song. Talk to me. But one of the reasons that works is that he's so passionate about it. Oh, yeah. Because it could have just been a wacky comedy song. But actually, the vocal is so strained. He really means it. You believe him. Do you know what I mean? He's in a deep place right now. Whatever happened to him the day or night before, it's really kind of really impacted his performance. Do you know what I mean? Radio One Breakfast.

So Cynthia Erivo, we are so with you. And that is the end of today's Breakfast Show podcast. Thanks for listening. I'll be back with you tomorrow for more fun. Goodbye.
