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!

Can imagine it is, they must do a mass recording as James must be a busy boy

Knew Chris would be off as Scott playing a Whooo game today

 

Listening to podcast later tonight as working this afternoon

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?'

Yaaaaas to Mills on breakfast. Sounding great. 

Fun fact: the bed he's using now (9:40) used to be used by Sara Cox on her Sunday show.

Is that 940 as time or 9 mins 40 in

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.

Maybe I'm just a bitter miserable got, but did anyone else here Matt the Goodwill Project guy and think "what a sanctimonious twat". Sounded like a do-gooder who loves self promotion. 

Or am I being harsh?

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.

Real or No Real returns once again for a Chris Stark Stag special! With Clara, shame it wasn't Charlie Sloth or Greg. I miss their on-air interactions, they were always really funny.

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.

    • 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 ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
