22 November 2006: The Honesty Game with Colin Murray and Aled Jones

 

Scott, Chappers, Colin Murray and Aled Jones from the breakfast show play the Honesty Game, answering brutally frank questions from listeners about their most embarrassing moments and secrets.

The Honesty Game returns with four Radio 1 personalities facing unfiltered questions from listeners, each armed with one pass to avoid answering. The opening question asks about catching flesh in zips, leading to honest admissions and awkward laughter all round. Colin Murray recalls a particularly painful incident, while Scott and the others share similarly uncomfortable memories.

The bets question produces more colourful answers: Colin describes having his eyebrows waxed off for a European cup bet, being hit in the face with a dead squid, and a New Year’s Eve forfeit that ended with him running naked around a house and cutting his leg on a plant pot. Chappers admits to whipping it out in a bar. When asked about the worst thing done for a bet, most deflect or pass, with one story involving Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Birmingham where someone was dared to pass on a phone number to another presenter with a cheeky message.

The dinner party question—who would you invite, dead or alive—is largely dodged or met with sarcasm. The final question about getting off with colleagues yields the most awkward responses. There are admissions of kissing and “robbing balloons” (heavy petting) with former workmates at Capitol Radio and the BBC, some stretching back to teenage years. The game ends with escalating embarrassment and Chappers being accused of completely avoiding the sleeping question before the segment wraps.
