<b>It's been a hectic day so I'm here to bring you a quick round up of today's breakfast show, as written pretty late in the early hours of Friday morning!</b>

<b>Morning Banter</b>

Scott had a bit of cutlery dillema last night whilst dining out with a female friend at a posh restaurant. He didn't know which piece of cutlery to use for each course, and ended up knocking the peas right off his plate and on to the floor. One caller suggests that if you don't know what to do, you should watch Pretty Woman.

<I>Scott: "Oh my god you're such a girl"

Caller: "And you're not?!"</I>

Also in this very posh restaurant, was an American lady who leans over and asked Scott about who Jade Goody was. But how do you explain who Jade was? You can't really explain her to someone out of Britain. Scott explained she was one of the losers out Big Brother, but a millionaire. She's not really on the same level as Paris Hilton, and isn't really like Jessica Simpson either.

So yesterday Scott played the Jordan and Peter Andre "recording" of A Whole New World. It was stuck in Scott's head as he was in the shower. Well remember when Paris Hilton released her record, the team said they could kinda make any one sound good any one these days. So either Jordan is singing geniuinely rubbish, or she sounds really good and the machine they use to make people sound really good has been reversed to make her sound bad. Which one do you think it is? You're the judge.

Today on the American Name Game we had Kimberly Bumgardener and Willy Boner.

<I>Scott: Do you have a Willy?</i>

It turns out Georgina off of the news is a Bumgardener. Apparently Bowman used to have German origins which is "Bumgarten" and quite literally translates to that.

<B>Talking sh*t</b>

Meanwhile, on that high brow level, Scott went for a quick post-show drink yesterday (excluding Chappers). He went the loo for a number two, but the toilet was blocked. The toilet was now starting to flow, and the contents were still in the bowl. There are now people waiting to get in to the toilet. What would you do? Scott opened the door, and ran. Delightful.

<b>Laura's Diary - Episode 4</b>

And at 8.15 exactly today, it was time for Laura's Diary with Fox Mary. Today's instalment comes from the 22nd August 1998. Today Laura had just got back from a long walk in the rain. She needed to clear her head, and was soaking wet.

<I>Diary: "It felt good getting wetter and wetter"

Scott: Hang on a minute, is this the same diary as yesterday?!</I>

Daddy then told Laura off for bringing mud and water into the house and up the stairs. Laura was interpreting dreams from what Ben had said in his sleep. If the call he made whilst sleeping was for someone else, it means it could be divorce or something of a similar nature.

Whilst she was out in the rain, Laura thought of the Spice Girls a lot. She thinks she needs more girl power, and that she needs to confront Ben. She compared the situation to 'Stop!' and now knows what to do. Despite Geri leaving the 'SGs', they were okay, so Laura will be fine without Ben. Or so she thinks...

<b>The Florist Game</b>

More of the Florist Game again, and this time we've gone international. Today's message? Pretty simple - "I'm out! I told you I would track you down. You'll wish you hadn't given evidence against me, do not contact the police". She was quite happy to write anything you wanted in the card for flowers.

<b>Hoff Mania</b>

Finally, the quiz that is starting to grip the nation as the day goes by. He still couldn't pick out a best bit of Laura's Diary, and last night he went to a carboot sale. He picked up a stuffed beaver that looked like Moira Stewart. Today listeners needed to identify the mystery voice... but who was it?

Today's prize was the chance to be on the first space shuttle mission. In reality, it's a copy of the best of The Hoff's album.

Helena was on. She was terribly excited, and terribly posh. She's got blonde hair, blue eyes, and is 26 - depending on whether she knows what year it is. She's a house mistress.

<I>The Hoff: Good actual mornin'</I>

Of a girls school.

<I>The Hoff: Good actual mornin'</I>

She guessed that it was Kate Moss. But was hopelessly wrong.

Then we had Joanna. She's short, bald and 21.

<I>The Hoff: Good actual mornin'</I>

She thinks it might be Lilly Allen. But was completely wrong. The calls kept flooding in.

Stuart was also on. He's no good with French, so let's cut to the chase. He thinks it might be Charlotte Church. And you know, he was right.

The Hoff's going to Ramsbottom tonight, because it's got a really weird name.

<b>Geek Speak</b>

Another good show, although I think the format needs a shake up. There's only so much of the same features each day that I can take so early in the morning. A full review of Friday's show is coming tomorrow!

    • 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 ?
    • 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.
