Yes, very weird. And they're playing bits of it now as well.  Maybe they wanted to get 5SOS fans to listen to the breakfast show (there's quite a lot of them) but the feature was so good that Scott and Chris also wanted to have it. Or maybe there's no logic behind this.

The prank was good though. Although you could tell Scott was cringing all the way through it.

I think there are hidden messages here - I seriously do, Grimmy seems to be just "ticking over" on breakfast now, and in about 9 weeks he becomes second longest overtaking Blackburn - quite an achievement considering what he replaced 

I seriously think they will shake the weekday schedule up - probably waiting for big weekend to come and go then bang, Grimmy gets to 2nd longest and the weekday schedule changes 

Scott has really upped his game recently and seems to be on loads of social media from R1 and fronting alot of stuff - the new chart host maybe also he is the new breakfast host ?? 

I theorise that Scott will get breakfast Monday to Thursday by this time next year

I think I'm enjoying the "what day is Stefflon Don day" a bit too much :lol: Every time Scott says it with NZ accent I'm in tears.

Also, loved how they were trolling Jordan today (again). This time it was the way he pronounces the word 'jacuzzi'. Very 'Scott and Chris ' style - heartwarming and lovely. I don't think many people could pull it off.

I missed where this first came from - so confused!

It all started with this little piece of magic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKbQFMOEFTs
And now they're doing it with Stefflon Don's name because, well it just sounds great. 
 

 

It originally started about a year and a bit ago (maybe longer than that) after Greg spotted and started talking about it. It died down, but still mentioned sometimes and now Scott has picked up. I don't think it'll ever get old!

How strange. The name of Wednesday's podcast has changed since I downloaded it on Wednesday night. When I downloaded it, it was called 'More First Date Messages', but now (Friday morning), it has been renamed 'What Do Popstars Do When They're Not Making Music?'

So today, I downloaded the podcast to hear Chris' announcement in full and completely agree with comments made on this forum (I'm looking at you, OohErr ;)) about Maya Jama's irrelevance on the show. I should add that this was the first time I downloaded the Friday podcast since she started on the show.

She added a lot unnecessary comments, especially during Steve Holden's entertainment news. He meant to say Jurassic World, but said Jurassic Park and Maya chips in with 'different'. WHAT WAS THE POINT? SHUT UP!

I, for one, will be glad when the schedules change and the show will be Maya-less. On a side note, because Scott will be doing the chart, will the Chart Update move to Mondays 3:30pm-4pm and that will mean 30 minutes less of Greatest Hits? I hope so!

Same story today with Jordan co-hosting The Greatest Hits. Jordan's explaining to Maya all about his wedding DJ friend, Maya every 3 s: aha, yeah, okay. Gosh, just be quiet for a bit. I think that's the main problem with her as a DJ, those little details are very important to make a good show.

I think the main problem is she tries to be funny when she’s not, and it ends up making her look like a cringeworthy mess. She’s no Alice Levine that’s for sure.

Indeed she is not! It took me a while to warm to Alice, but I genuinely think she is a great broadcaster. I don't think I'll warm to Maya in the same way, if at all.

Just more or less confirmed that there's no alternative commentary this year :(

They're sounding really good today though, was there some kind of announcement about Stark's Stag? They were definitely talking about it, and mentioned Scott's crab outfit, but I was half-asleep at the time so kinda missed it.

Yep, Chris' fiancee's hen do was this past weekend, and Chris' stag is this coming weekend. Scott is bringing the crab outfit but he's not saying why

So does that mean the big week-long stag tour across the country with listeners isn't happening after all?

Scott and Chris are both liking a lot of tweets from people hoping they're doing alternative commentary again. So either they're not happy that they haven't been allowed to, or they ARE doing some more but it hasn't been announced yet. Fingers crossed for the latter.

If you didn't hear Scott messing up the Bamboleo gap last Wednesday, listen back - it was hilarious. He was talking to a caller about being fired as a bridesmaid and at the end he randomly played a clip of the Fuse ODG Live Lounge by mistake, because he said it was in the Bamboleo gap.

Then when he did the gap... He forgot to play it until Chris reminded him. I haven't done it justice here, it was hilarious.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
