How remiss? I do apologise, I have yet to welcome Mr Kiz (Mark) and Mike, and a fair few other new people. So, Welcome to UM peeps. You don't have to be mad to be on here, but it helps (said in Ricky Gervais office/bloke off of Flight of the Conchords voice)! ;)

Hope you have 2 computers at home Mark, 'cos Kirsty will never let you on here otherwise. Hehe.

Well, I was just saying to Kirsty last night that we will have to get another laptop (or UM Terminal as we call it)! It'll be constant battles for it. Think we'll have to get some kind of rota made up!

Thanks for the welcome!

Heh, I was cynical until I saw a picture of you. The one where you look like PR4L's brother?

Yeah, it's actually uncanny isn't it?! I showed her the picture the next night and she thought we looked like brother and sister too!

It was great meeting PR4L, she is sooo nice. I asked her to whisper "winking smiley" in my ear and she did! AMEZZIN'!

Hey dudes!

Hey actual Rugrat! Glad to be part of UM now. I did promise Jono I'd join after telling him what an amezzin' site it is!

Actual Mr Kiz! Ah, you'll soon wonder why you didn't join this big happy family earlier!

I'm actually wondering that already! Kirsty's got a real and actual fight on her hands for the use of the UM terminal! LOL.

We've just breathed life into the old laptop that has been lying under the couch so there shouldn't be too much unrest in the kizmok household!

"UM Terminal" I love that! I bet that poor laptop didn't get thought about until you guys realised you both couldn't be on UM at the same time, haha!

    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
    • How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free? Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system? Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀
    • This research is based on the DJs’ voices - pitches, speech rates and fillers like ums and ahs they use - so it’s not affected by sound effects. But yes according to the report Scott is listed as a Radio 2 DJ instead of Radio 1.
    • The playlist has definitely got a bit narrower this year, it feels like. Artists like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Drake and  Doja Cat seem to be played in every show, even when they’re not on the playlist. Other artists who get a few plays a week, such as Niall Horan, always seem to have the same song played, in his case, Heaven. Whenever they dive into Calvin Harris’ backlog it always seems to be Slide and Promises pulled out, even though they’re two of his least upbeat songs. Most songs they play seem to have been from the 2020s, instead of throwing in a few older hits like Capital does, which is something I think they could do.
    • Jamie Laing out of the schedule for Going Home today - Lauren Layfield in with Katie Thistleton.
    • Bit of a scoop getting an exclusive interview with Zayn, I wonder why he decided not to do Radio 1 too? 
    • Who are your favourite artists that are not anywhere close to being on the playlist?   Are there ever songs that make you want to start pulling your hair out (in general, no need to put anyone on blast lol)?
