Interesting little behind the scenes thing Scott mentioned the other day: their Bangers picks have to be emailed in advance (I'm guessing for approval by the powers that be?) and they pick loads at a time, which then appear throughout the week but not on specific days as chosen by Scott or Chris. Which I guess explains why they sometimes say they forgot they picked it. And there I was thinking they just decided on the day.

I wonder if any Banger fixing goes on? Like if the bosses don't really want a song to be played, they make sure it's up against another song that is more likely to win? Hmm...

Just remembered 2018 is a World Cup year! I wouldn't ordinarily care, but hopefully it means Chappers will return to the show again to talk about it. The last time it happened, it was hilarious.

Also hoping that Scott & Chris do a couple red button commentaries again like the last World Cup and Euros.

LOVED the John Newman interview last week. Dick Steel, singing the EastEnders theme - amazing. Love that he seems to be a genuine fan of the show.

As you are a fan of Sophie on the show, OohErr, you're going to LOVE the podcast today!

Omg yay I'll look forward to it. I'm a few days behind though, so I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer to hear it :( But she IS the new Beccy, I'm telling you.

She is VERY good on yesterday's podcast. Scott does seem to be throwing over to his team for on-air responses more than what he used, which is definitely no bad thing at all!

Whether or whether she isn't, it's nice to hear some new voices, especially when they make Scott cackle like he was yesterday [emoji23]

Right, I've heard it. Absolutely brilliant. The bit about the bunny ears had me in stitches. Soooo funny. Really wanna find out why he ghosted, I hope they bust him at some point.

Any one got a clue what the bed is on the first bit of the podcast? (About the Aussie news lady in the lift)

I've had a look around, it's not from the Wise Buddah package and doesn't seem to be from last years Pure Jingles beds either. And I can't find it on NSM so who knows? Anyone have any idea what other production libraries Radio 1 like to use these days?

Couple of points about the show last week:

Laughed hysterically at the "WAZZZUUUUUP" calls, they were absolutely brilliant. Possibly my favourite thing they've done for a while, so so funny.

Banged my head against a wall repeatedly at Maya Jama totally not getting Scott's "ice cream" story. Which in itself was quite funny. 

Quote

Chris: Why would you think that was ice cream, why would you think that?

Maya: No but disgusting as well cause that could've come out of their mouth

Chris: No... Maya...

Scott: But I don't know why but my natural reaction was to lick it because all these people above me are eating ice creams so I'm like "ah lush delicious ice cream".

Chris: Think about it. Ice cream has landed from up high...

Maya: Oh my gosh! No. I've got a vision of what I think it might be now.

Chris: Exactly.

Scott: But because I've been fooled by the people eating ice creams above me -

Chris: Why would you eat their ice creams, you weirdo!

Scott: I just fancied a lick of it

Maya: Oh my gosh that is so horrible... it was bird poo!

Chris (in background): Yes, yes.

FACEPALM.

That's interesting, I'd never heard anything of the sort so would be surprised if he was.

Then again, I distinctly remember hearing Adele Roberts and Grimmy discussing the marathon and who else at Radio 1 is doing it and being very surprised at one of the names, but I was half asleep and can't remember who it was. Could've been Mills I guess.

 

EDIT: I was able to work out what date it was and found it on the iPlayer. So according to Adele Roberts, Scott Mills, Danny Howard and Dev are doing it. I guess that explains why Scott's been mentioning being healthy recently. He's quite active in fundraising for MS charities as well, after his mum and Beccy got it. 11th April at about 6:23 if you wanna hear the link.

There's also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRaaDQnKkWM

I mean, he said he was going to do it in the video. If nothing has changed, then I guess he is going to do it.

Although it's really hard to believe him not mentioning it on the show once. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean Scott bragging about it. It's just his first ever marathon and I know how much freaking out it involves. Adele, Dev and Danny Howard have all been mentioning this quite a lot (also - Dev's just said that he's forgotten to book a day off for tomorrow, got to love that man), so it's all pretty confusing. 

EDIT (after some research): The video is from early February and this picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bgn5kvGFHmV/ is from late March. There's Adele in the back, but no Scott there. So I'd say he isn't doing it this year. Which is very fine, as running a marathon is pure hell.

I didn't know where to put this message but doesn't anyone know where I can't find their second alternative commentary they did for the Euros? I know you have the first episode up but can't seem to find the second.

Along with no mention across Scott's social media, the results page shows that Scott didn't run the Marathon.  Adele Roberts finished in 3:30:38 , Dev in 4:30:56 , and Danny Howard in 5:41:16 .

Well, sometimes it's a matter of a mental barrier. And the first long distance race is really gruelling (although I think he did a couple of halfs in the past). Also, some minor injuries (shin splints being the most common) will influence your training as well and then you're too scared to keep going, simply because you're not really keen on pain. Training plan takes a lot of time too and if you're new to running, you'll hate it at first. A bit of a running nerd talk here, sorry for that. 
Having said that - I think it's a shame that Scott didn't run, but it might be (and probably is) something more than just laziness. Hope he'll do it one day though as he said he'd like to (in the video I've posted before).

Side note - Adele obviously smashed her race, but Dev is a real wonder to me. Running only as far as 10k before and doing a marathon in a pretty decent time. He's a natural apparently!

Scott getting jealous over Chris bonding with Mike Skinner off of The Streets at last night's gig on Annie Mac's show was hilarious today!

Chris: 'Music speaks to me. I know that's a weird thing to say.'

Scott: 'I speak to you for 3 hours a day, hun!'

Later on...

Chris: 'I'm finding more and more that major moments in my life happen when you're around, Annie.'

Scott: 'Has she allowed you to play Innuendo Bingo with Lauren Pope? No!

HAHAHAHA! I love these two!

I think Dev sells himself short a lot of the time. Examples include his 'ropey style of presenting', but if you listen closely enough, there is a method to his madness; he claimed he wasn't a good cook then reached the semi-finals of Celebrity MasterChef, and now completing the London Marathon in a fantastic time!

I do like the way that Dev is very self deprecating a lot of the time. As much as he’s not the best presenter in my opinion, there aren’t many presenters that take the mickey out of themselves like that.

I actually like Dev

He's one of the DJs from the Moyles era left and I think he deserves a weekday slot - never understood why he didn't stick early breakfast out

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
