Alex James, Simon Pegg, and Brownload Festival #495

Welcome back to the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. This week, we learnt that Captain Crapbeard’s karaoke song is Don’t Mug Yourself by The Streets. Oh, and we launched a new radio station. No biggie.

It was great to hear from Chris Kamara, who joined the team to chat about a really important cause. He’s partnered with Andy’s Man Club and Drinkaware to raise awareness of an increasing amount of people using alcohol as a coping mechanism. And of course, Chris had to ask him a few football related questions whilst he was there… Remember, IT’S OK TO TALK! Check out andysmanclub.co.uk if you were affected by any of the issues discussed in this interview.

Friend of the show Alex James (off of Blur) came into the studio to talk about Big Feastival, which is now in its 14th year! Despite performances from Faithless, Travis, The Wombats, and many many more, Alex decided that the selling point of this year’s Big Feastival was Barrioke with Sean Williamson. Hard to disagree with that… 

On the eve of a big premiere, Hollywood star Simon Pegg sat down with the team to discuss his role in the new Mission Impossible film, using his daughter as an excuse to talk to cool celebs, and Oasis.

Yeah, thought so. YOU ALWAYS WANT MOOOORE!!!

• James sings a Robbie Williams song
• Brownhaven update
• Captain plans a date with Tony Blackburn

Enjoy!

Right, own up. Who changed Dom’s Wikipedia picture to Ainsley Harriott?

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. This week, we discovered that Radio X’s Dan O’Connell is back to his thieving ways…

We treated Chris and Dom to a new instalment of their favourite mystery guest based feature Who Are You? During which, we learnt about the saucy past of our guest, and which international band took him under their wing after he invented one of the greatest gig-enhancers of the 21st Century.

David Jason came in to chat about his new book, why he thinks Only Fools and Horses was as big as it was, and how he gets into character for his roles. Del Boy even made a special appearance!

Dan! Dan! Dan! Stephen Mangan dropped by to tell us all about ‘The Fart That Saved The Universe’ (that’s his new children’s book) and what it’s like to run a marathon as a ‘Big Star’.

And because that evidently isn’t enough for you…

• Dom’s was once on The Gadget Show
• James invented smart homes
• The Dom-clave

Enjoy!

RAAN! HE’S GOT A GAAN! 

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. This week we became obsessed with a certain set of viral twins from down under…

Dom’s interview with Tom Hardy got off to a rocky start when Captain Crapbeard had a stern talking to from the star of new Netflix film ‘Havoc’. Things only got worse when we asked him about his time on Barry Island… But despite all that, Dom still managed to secure Oasis tickets??

The lovely Reverend Richard Coles dropped by to talk about his live tour, ‘Borderline National Trinket’. As a former member of 80s pop duo The Communards, we thought we’d give him a massive piano and ask him to tickle the ivories, for old times’ sake.

Katherine Ryan came in to talk about her latest tour ‘Battleaxe’, and explained why she wouldn’t trust Chris to look after her children. She also offered Dom a 'tight five'...

And finally, we surprised Captain Crapbeard with a visit from a founding member of the best band in the world. He still hasn’t recovered.

More? You want more? Ok, fine.

• Captain remixes the Aussie Twins
• Chris’ childcare advice
• Toby’s headphones

Enjoy!

Have you ever milked a mammal?

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. This week Chris was away, so it was Toby’s turn to play…

We had the hilarious Nick Helm in the studio to tell us about his new stand-up tour, where there’ll be 6 jokes max because that’s all you need. Oh and if you ask nicely Nick will take a photo with your shoes…

We also had Stereophonics’ very own Kelly Jones in on the day of the release of their new album! Kelly told us all about his go-to person for advice, and it's only Sir Tom Jones. We also delved into his piggy-back history, just BING it…

And finally, ahead of the London Marathon, we had Global’s very own Jenni Falconer. We stole her from her Smooth Radio Breakfast show to give us her take on marathon day, aka Christmas day (her words not ours).

That’s all for another 4 day week, so listen out for these extras:

• Chat GPT roasts Toby
• Milking mammals
• That’s enough of Adam Brown

Who do you follow on Instagram?

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. This week was the FINAL week of 20 Seconds to 20k…

We had the legendary Steve Coogan in the studio this week to talk about his new film with a penguin, which has everything you could want from a film…We also found out about his first Oasis gig back when people still held lighters up, and he confirmed that he will be one of the grey-haired men pretending to be young at the reunion tour this summer!

The lovely Jill Scott joined us on Zoom while she sat outside her coffee shop waiting for someone to make her a coffee. Jill had all the info for the 2025 Soccer Aid, as well as the shocking news that kids these days would rather have a photo with a Youtuber than football legend Paul Scholes.

And finally, we said goodbye to 20 Seconds to 20k, but we were left with some ups and downs! Some of you won money, some of you won 20 Seconds to 0k mugs, and all of us shouted at the radio!

That’s all for the Easter weekend, so look out for these cracking yolks:

• Adamstagram Brown
• Dom’s inflatable boobs
• William Hanson’s a fake

 Enjoy!

Have you ever been blown out?

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. This week Dom was away, so we went through some of his hidden letters…

This week, we had Ed Byrne back on the show in person (and with pants on this time!). He’s been dragging his son around on outdoor hikes, but apparently his kids still think he’s cool. He also told us about the real reason he hasn’t been on Last One Laughing, and his first time meeting Bob Mortimer…

Simon Conway news man came back to read the news, and it seems he’s not as big a Bond fan as he likes to think. We also brought back Whatsapp Messages and there were lots of laughs, most of which came from you impersonating Captain’s special laugh…

And finally, 20 Seconds to 20k continues, it was an exciting week where we had four out of five winners… and don’t worry, it’ll be back next week for another chance to win up to £20,000! 

If all that doesn’t wet your appetite, maybe this will:

• Dom’s email subscriptions
• Florence’s farts
• Cap d'Agde Comedy Festival

 Enjoy!

Have you ever won big on Premium Bonds?

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. This week we discovered that someone on the show is the voice of an advert…

We had the one and only Chesney Hawkes in the studio this week ahead of his comeback to music, and he could neither confirm or deny whether he is or isn’t doing Celebrity Big Brother, but he did confirm his love for Nik Kershaw.

We let your impulsive thoughts win when we played out more of your WhatsApp messages. We love hearing your voices in the studio but some are better than others, pass it on…

And finally, 20 Seconds To £20k returned, and the aim of the game is the name of the game, all you have to do is name the track in 20 seconds. Some find it harder than others, so prepare to shout at the radio, or if you’re Johnny Vaughan, prepare to shout on the radio…

It’s been a hell of a week so listen out for these devils:

• Pippa’s sexy voice
• Simon Rimmer rests his beef
• Dom’s deep in Saint James

 Enjoy!

How much would you pay for a number plate?

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast. This week Pippa was on holiday, but you probably can’t tell…

We kicked off the week with Bastille’s frontman Dan, who is doing the lord’s work by trying to stop ticket touts, and still loves Leeds even though they’re not doing a show there on the tour...

Our very own Johnny Vaughan stopped by, god that studio has some memories, to tell us about the origin of his new podcast ‘Bloomin’ Legends, and the origin of his infamous bag of shirts!Then we were the first ones laughing when comedian Lou Sanders joined us in the studio. She was worth the wait considering she gave us the low down on her ideal thrupple dynamic…

We were very glad to be conscious of our work day when Adam Scott and Dichen Lachman from Serervance came by, NO SPOILERS, but Adam Scott learnt all about Dichen’s early career on Neighbours, and we learnt how Adam prepares for all the running scenes in Severance.

It’s been a cracking week, and these yolks are great too:

• Captain’s weird laugh
• Frothy bevvy
• David Attenborough’s superb boobies

 Enjoy!

Would you paddle your own canoe?

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast.This week was a rollercoaster of emotions on the show…

We kicked off the week with the man of the moment, Stephen Graham, who came in to talk about his brand new series ‘Adolescence’, which is filmed in one continuous (risky) shot, and his wife Hannah joined in to grass….

We laughed our way through the week with 3, yes 3, comedians on the show. Joe Wilkinson joined us to tell us what he gets up to when his wife’s away- 2 words: Co-op tapas. Ellie Taylor also graced the studio during the rush hour of her life to give us egg chat. AND Nick Mohammed was back, he doesn’t like eggs and he, nor Mr Swallow, knows anything about the fourth season of Ted Lasso…

We also had actual real life British astronaut Tim Peake on to talk us through the NASA crew who were stuck in space, and of course to answer our space toilet questions. Then we scored high with Jamie Redknap, who hits more golf balls than footballs nowadays, but talked us through his journey from football to pundit to A League of Their Own!

It’s been a very busy week, so take a break with these bits:

• Fat tongues
• What’s a maisonette
• Get your wig out

 Enjoy!

Do you have a famous great grandparent?

Welcome back to The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast.This week someone on the team was left bumless…

We had Marcus Mumford and his son Ben Lovett on the show this week to tell us all about the new Mumford and Sons album, as well as an incredibly intimate gig that’s coming up in a lovely studio apartment….

We also had John Power on the show to announce Cast’s 30th Anniversary tour, which Chris has planned for them, and he finally confirmed how to pronounce Cast (cah-st not car-st). Oh, and they’re on tour with Oasis!

Then to finish it off we had the lovely Si King on the show to show off the new Hairy Bikers recipe book, with mostly Dave’s favourite meals in! It also should’ve been a £300 coffee table book with 600 recipes, but still features Vinderloo sausage rolls and cow hubba-bubba…

Chris returned with lots of laughs, so listen out for this:

• Another Chocolate accident
• McWobinson on a weekday
• Nudey Golf

 Enjoy!
