Scott was running late today, and had to get a taxi. He was running late, so got in the back of the car, and wound down the window. Then realised the guy was looking horrified at him, and that it wasn't a taxi at all. Many people on the texts have admitted to doing this, but never actually got in one. Chappers admitted the most embarrassing times are when you get in a taxi and the destination is 100 yards, and you don't realise.

Scott also recalled the story of people who flagged Scott down wanting to go to Hyde Park. He tried to tell them he wasn't a taxi, but they still wanted to take a ride with him. Then there's the classic time you ask a question to someone you think works in a shop, that doesn't actually work there. Happens a lot to Scott on American Airlines apparently.

More Ping Pong Song remixes today including two tennis ladies, and Chopper and Jo Whiley. This is of course Enrique Iglesias' new song. Some people have doubted the meaning behind the title, but Wikipedia does claim he "is known to be a huge fan of the sport."

Ahead of Friday's big launch of the brand new Flirt Divert number and jingle, Scott had some more of the phrases that have gripped the nation.

And Rachel was on today, with some very old love letters from a guy called Royston back in 1983. He was in the band 'Spacehog' - heavily influenced by David Bowie, Queen, and T. Rex. This guy is now married to Liv Tyler. Rachel was 12 back then, and don't worry, he was much younger too. And boy, it was a very slushy letter. And his "arm was getting tired". Presumably because of writing the letter. Scott has put it to the listeners to decide if they want to hear more of these letters.

Meanwhile one person claims to have access to have Valentine's Cards from Ewan MacGregor. Sounds great, but the one flaw is these will be anonymous! Anyway, send them in to Scott Mills, Radio 1, London, W1N 4DJ.

Also in today's show... Lots of love from Colin Murray and Zane Lowe last night on the Glastonbury special. Lots of willy and nuts innuendos flying around. Keep sending your innuendo spottings into Scott's show. Plenty of perverse comments coming from Chopper today about the women tennis players. And quite a few listeners were intrigued to find out what the million count man was up to.

Before I go, this week's Record of the Week is Rise Up by Yves Larock.

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • 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
