Scott got caught red handed doing something he does quite often. He saw someone outside Radio 1 who he didn’t want to talk to. So Scott pretended he was on the phone and having a conversation (even though there was no one on the other end of the phone). He normally has his phone on silent but today when he was walking past the person pretending to talk on the phone, his phone rang and now he feels bad because the person now knows that Scott is avoiding them.

Scott has no need conversations on the phone when he doesn’t have to at all. When Chappers is at his sport desk in the live lounge, he sees Scott walk through quite often and speaking on the phone.

Chappers said: ‘Are you very rarely on the phone to anybody?’ Scott said: ‘Very rarely.’ Chappers: ‘You git, you rude git.’

Scott pressed the red button last night to watch the My Chemical Romance gig and after the gig Scott’s video podcast came on with his flatmate doing comedy.

Chappers would like an audition to be Joseph on Any Dream Will Do; he would be kind of alright with a loin cloth on. Scott calls it Any Queen Will Do.

<b>Innuendo Bingo</b>

Chris said: ‘right, hard one? Yeah if you like.’ Another one: ‘hey Dom, fancy a bum.’ Debbie McGee said: ‘if you weren’t already known and you were just somebody new coming on my books. I would put you up against the same music video as Rachel.’ And Chris Moyles again, ‘I’d go for the man’s part.’ Coxy said: ‘come play with me.’ Dom on Moyles’ shows: ‘not wishing to probe to deeply Dave.’ Even Zane Lowe has been included, he said: ‘it’s the two lovely ladies who are on with me in the studio tonight.’ Halle Berry said: ‘I can’t tell you how good it makes my insides feel, I wish you could be inside right now and you would actually know.’

<b>Chris Moyles’ Naked Blog</b>

Scott decided to talk about Moyles’ Girls Naked Blog. Rachel, Carrie and Jocelyn off of The Chris Moyles Show are naked. Scott got half way through watching it and had to turn it off. He doesn’t like seeing people naked he works with. Chappers said he’s seen Chris Moyles naked before and he’s quite a cuddly bear. He saw Chris Moyles naked at Euro 2004 when they were swimming.

<b>Chappers’ Mistake</b>

Chappers has made a mistake today and he’s angry about it. Chappers’ little boy is four tomorrow and he wants an England shirt for his birthday. Chappers has bought his son an England shirt with his name and the number 4 on the back. When Chappers went back to the shop he realised that Steven Gerrard wears the number four shirt for England and now his little boy is going to be running around as a scouser. As a Man Utd fan its hell for Chappers but the one who doesn’t speak loves it because he supports Liverpool.

<b>Avril Singing in Different Languages</b>

Someone at Avril Lavigne’s record company has had a brilliant idea. . The idea was to sing the chorus to ‘Girlfriend’ in different languages. Avril sang it in French, Italian, German and Mandarin. Scott doesn’t think Avril spent enough times getting the words right.

<b>Old People Saying Embarrassing Words</b>

Hannah e-mailed in because her dad’s new favourite word is wicked. Laura says wicked every 5 minutes. Scott said when should you stop saying wicked. Chappers would have thumped Scott if he’d been asking him. Paul off of Nottingham says his brother is 42 and always says crucial. Jess got in touch to say her mum is 46 and says well cool. Paul off of Bristol text in to say his dad is 51 and says rad. Chappers says top banana is a wrong phrase for any one to say at any age. Someone’s dad still says bling and he’s nearly 60. Louise off of Kent said her dad is 52 and he answers the phone and always says whassup. Ian said his dad is 68 or 69 and still says yo.

<b>Radio Quizzes</b>

Scott found someone more stupid than yesterday on New Zealand radio. On this quiz the answer is Sunday, so the woman has to work out what the question is. The answer is what day is father’s day? The radio presenter gave her a lot of clues and even gave her the answer. It took the woman ages to work out what the question was.

    • Find Noah Kahan is just busker music. I mean I was pleasantly surprised that Ezra collective were in session for Jack Saunders on his new shoes and he is playing their latest track wouldn’t have thought few years back that at 6pm in the evening jazz music would be played. I hope if can get the green light and launch the 00s/10s station that the focus is on more new music be it pop mainstream and alternative genres on the main 1
    • Scott's show is perfect for the office. If Matt and Mol have a podcast I'd listen to that. All the fun without the Gen Z rappers. 
    • Similar to SZA’s Kill Bill, the word “kill” had been initially cut out of Taylor Swift’s Fortnight. But it seems like they are now playing an unedited version.
    • Also hopefully won't get my head bitten off for this but I'd say of the current Radio 1 DJs the one arguably most similar to Scott Mills's latter time on Radio 1 would be Mollie. I'm not saying she's as good as Scott was to be clear but she is that sort of vibe. 'Future Pop' is exactly the sort of music Scott would be championing and you can tell Mollie has the same passion for it that Scott did. There's that Party Anthems link too - a show Matt & Mol do that previously Scott did and they bring a similar energy to how Scott did that makes it a fun listen. Matt & Mollie seem to just have that natural connection with the listeners that Scott & Chris did that you can't manufacture.
    • I find at the minute I'm a bit of a nomad when it comes to radio stations. Often the Radio 1 playlist really doesn't appeal to me these days and I did wonder is it just me tiring of new music but then I'll listen to Future Pop and Party Anthems and there's loads of tunes on there that I love and they're excellent listens but just too few of those make it to the playlist. Radio 2 may arguably be more to my taste music wise but also often feels too rooted on the past. Plus much of the content just doesn't appeal to me and verges on the 'mumsy' side. Plus Radio 2's new music can feel very 'middle of the road' - just because I don't enjoy some of the Radio 1 new stuff it doesn't mean I want Take That & Will Young as 'new music'. For me currently if I'm tuning in for radio it'll be Jordan North on Capital Breakfast, on Radio 1 Matt & Mollie, (if Jamie is off)  Going Home and Sam & Danni plus there's also Capital Dance and Mistajam. They all hit the mark for me in a way other shows don't.
    • Matt & Mol for me. For those that enjoyed Scott's Radio 1 show, Matt & Mollie are the natural successors (even more so than Scott's Radio 2 show) - two best mates doing a fun show packed full of content For one thing Matt & Mol inherited two of Scott's ex producers in Amy & Helena. Some Matt & Mollie features you could easily imagine Scott doing e.g. Matt vs Mollie and some feel near identical (can see 'Battletracks' taking the old 'Bangers' slot as it feels heavily based on that feature). Also while this may be down to being a weekend show Matt & Mol's show does seem to lean in a more pop direction and seems to deviate from the playlist more than some other shows- which helps as the Radio 1 playlist can be quite marmite and get samey very quickly. Something just doesn't hit the mark for me with Scott on Radio 2. It feels like it's aimed at somebody about a decade older than me and relies heavily on Noughties nostalgia. Scott too I feel works best with somebody else to work off and is missing that fun element he had with Chris and previously Chappers. It's fine but not something I'll go out my way to listen to.  
    • Random idea time: condense all the throwback shows into one three hour show from 10am to 1pm on a Saturday, get Katie Thistleton back to host it (as Charlie does with Dance Anthems on a Saturday), call it “Radio 1’s Bottomless Brunch with Katie Thistleton” and just have 3 hours of throwbacks from across the decades, not just 00s or 10s, just a mix of everything. The occasional 90s anthem, tunes from the early 2020s, just 3 hours of pure feel good
    • I think it's great the amount of choice out there right now. I could happily listen to Greg or Jordan in the morning, Going Home or Huw Stephens in the evening, or Scott and Matt and Mollie in afternoons.  Still a few times when I'm channel hopping but maybe that's healthy to check out what's around.  As that research pointed out, Scott is good for minimal distractions. If you want some chaos I dare say it'll be Matt and Mollie offering that.  Plenty of my friends say it's the Radio 1 playlist that puts them off, even if they like the DJs. So Radio 2 is more preferable. 
    • I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo. 
    • Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.
    • I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience. 
    • Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?
    • Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different. 
    • They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.
    • Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.
