Greg James Thats What He Said

Yesterday on the show Greg went to award someone with a Star Listener prize and realised our hamper of goodies had gone! He launches an investigation to find the wicker hamper, with various DJ’s pleading their innocence. Also Jordan North is out and about, in some amusingly named places, gathering jokes from the locals in the lead up to Scott and Chris’s Lolathon.

Radio 1’s Big Weekend is coming to Middlesbrough and Greg begins to reveal the line-up. He chats to Leigh-Anne from Little Mix, Zara Larsson and Matty from The 1975. We also hear from some of the locals themselves including one who would like to build a swan pedalo especially for Greg.

Stephen Merchant is in the phone room taking calls about people’s first job disasters, including a hair raising experience in a restaurant, we hear poor Mary Anne Hobbs slipping up on 6 Music and Ryan from last year’s Festive Feeling is back in touch.

Olivia Colman won an Oscar last night and now everyone’s claiming Colman! We had people saying they had seen her on a zebra crossing and one who had sold her sun cream. Also, What was the story behind a Yorkshire pudding getting flushed away??

Katie, who we took to the BRITs last night after she was dumped by her boyfriend, gives her verdict on the night. Plus, all the details of the other bug events like The Welsh Wedding Awards and a cucumber eating competition.

The crazy inner workings of the Escape Room and Greg is taking listener Katie to the Brits on Sam Fender’s ‘Speedo Bus’! Plus the alternative events for those who don't care about the Brits...Welsh Wedding Awards anyone?

It's day two of #R1EscapeRoom and Jack Whitehall pays a visit. Plus Greg pops on to BBC Breakfast, Ria plays Yesterday's Quiz and more listeners' try to help Greg break out.

Strange things are happening! Greg is joined by Scott Mills but neither know why. Greg gets kidnapped and locked away by a man in a hat. Lewis Capaldi and Greg’s dad offer some help. #R1EscapeRoom has begun…

Greg finds some a-moosing news about a new app called ‘Tudder’ for cows, has a very special surprise for listener Kate, who’s having a bleak morning and chat’s to Radio 1 film bod Ali Plumb about sucking chips!

Today’s show included some of the most jaw-dropping Unpopular Opinions we’ve ever had, we revealed the start of something secret that’s happening next week on the show and we talk about millionaire’s moaning!

Sean Paul, hater of blackbirds is here to judge Impossible Karaoke as three listeners attempt ‘Get Busy’ and ‘Like Glue’. Also Greg decides to host a news interview master class with Roisin which ends up with him having to ring the shame bell and a giant dog has been seen all across London.

Greg holds a Gregerendum Ask the Nation to see if they would be for or against going for dinner with a bear, finds out that The Grammys are quite boring and speaks to listener Steph all about her Hen party (that involved hockey sticks and swimming hats)!

Super cool movie star Chris Pratt was in to talk about the new Lego movie and play Unpopular Opinion, but his attempts to sing the theme tune left a lot to be desired. Also Greg gives the nation a remix to Post Malone’s ‘Wow’ featuring Owen Wilson and Greg Wallace and Jessica calls (a week late) to take part in the hootenanny from her massive Queen Elizabeth ship with a horn that can be heard from 5 miles away!

We had a load of people on sharing the things they listen to to get them to sleep, like fridges and TED Talks, Fake Britain goes bonkers with your quick fire animal noises and to celebrate the return of Innuendo Bingo to Scott Mills’ show, we have a classic from old featuring a younger Greg getting very wet.

The Fact Controller brings a ‘misheard lyrics special’ featuring Yxng Bane the pastry chef and Rihanna singing about triceratops. Also, we look at when news and pop culture collide and Greg has a great idea involving Grace Carter and Radio 1’s D&B presenter, René LaVice.

Greg sent a mischievous Tweet to a supermarket yesterday and gives Donna from their complaints dept. a chance to tell him to “shove off” live on air. Plus, The Superbowl has a big glamorous half-time show but it’s nothing compared to throwing rubber ducks and kicking footballs into a skip and hear what happened when a cat strayed on to the pitch at Everton.

Loads of people got in contact with their horns for the final time this week to toot them along to Fisher’s ‘Losing It’. Ferries, Super tankers, steam trains, cherry pickers and didgeridoos – it seems the whole nation was blowing.

Another round of Unpopular Opinions includes some shocking views and we have horns-a-plenty from the QI elves and Craig in his big old tanker in Portsmouth.

Listener Julie phones in saying she has synaesthesia which means she can ‘taste’ people’s names and Greg’s not happy with his! Plus, the hunt for horns continues with Matt, captain of a ferry, blasting his MASSIVE one and The Fact Controller returns to talk through more ridiculous things people believe.

As a fan of the MASSIVE horn in Fisher’s track ‘Losing It’, Greg was on the hunt for some of his own horn sound effects. Plus, Greg caught up everyone on the weekend antics including Gemma Collins falling on Dancing On Ice – something Greg likened to a curling stone and poor producer Will had a ball of cheese in his pocket for a whole day.
