Nick Grimshaw spent a chunk of Wednesday's show trying to talk Annie Mac round. With Geese frontman Cameron Winter releasing a solo album and a Paul Thomas Anderson-filmed concert movie this Friday, Grimshaw wants to mark the occasion with the show's old running joke: a clip of Annie Mac asking "who the hell are Geese?" He explained it had been played so relentlessly in the past that she eventually snapped, telling him, "seriously, stop with the Geese clip, enough," prompting a mutual agreement to retire it for good. Now he's messaging her again asking for a "one time only" comeback, joking that Friday could become "who the hell are Geese day" if she says yes.
Grimshaw also had to apologise after accidentally cutting off newsreader Claire Ronekas mid-bulletin, saying on air, "apologies Claire," and blaming his own quick finger on the desk.
The regular Very Specific Playlist slot didn't quite go to plan either. Grimshaw had promised listeners a "chicken playlist" from a man he nicknamed Chicken Man, only for the caller to go silent when the show rang at the agreed time, meaning the feature was pulled entirely for the day.
Elsewhere the Wednesday Cloudbusting hour brought plenty of listener dedications, including Stevie Wonder's "We Can Work It Out" requested by Keely, and shout-outs to birthdays including Kitty and Georgie, who also marked her wedding anniversary on air.
