Nick & Jen at Breakfast

Filthy Fiona, Dodgy Dentists and Nick Singing for your Listening Pleasure...

17th May 2012

Nick and I had Fiona on the air with us today. She was randomly chosen to be called back to have a guess at The Secret Sound. If you were listening, I only hope that you can forgive us for the filth that came out of that harlot’s mouth.

It’s a good job that we could all recover from that experience with the beautiful singing voice of Nick Hancock. (He came off worst in the Wednesday Weigh Off yesterday so this was his forfeit, as chosen by our listeners.)

Once again, for your listening pleasure, do click on the audio clip below. Does this man’s talent have no end?

Sculpting the Guns, Being Papped and a Trip to Maccy D's...

16th May 2012

Nick and I have been doing some filming at various gyms over the last few days. We’ve been put through our paces by personal trainers for a work related fitness promotion. (Nick wasn’t joking; you literally have to pay him to step foot inside a gym.) It’s been going pretty well though. Nick’s actually an impressively fast runner and I’m deceptively strong, so between us we make up one fit person.

It was all going so well until a little post-workout visit to McDonalds was caught on camera by one eagle eyed Stray FM listener - who appears to have been hiding in a bin when they did their dirty work (which is a rather apt place for them to have been).

See the incriminating paparazzi-style photographic evidence below.

So, today we’ve been papped. Tomorrow - who knows?  Maybe Nick’s sex tape will surface.

Brace yourself. A rise in celebrity status signals a demise in anonymity. All sorts of things could emerge.

Listen again to our Gav breaking his exclusive news scoop to an unsuspecting Nick and Jen this morning:

Star Crossed Lovers, Keeping the Faith and Nick's Makeover...

15th May 2012

I fell a little bit in love with Simon Amstell last night. He was visiting us as he was doing stand up at Harrogate Theatre.

Falling in love with Simon Amstell poses a bit of a problem because he is a gayman and I am a woman.  

We are star crossed lovers really. It’s all very Romeo and Juliet.

I’m not worried though, because according to a fair few Bon Jovi songs; love can overcome any obstacle. So I’ll just keep the faith and wait patiently for true love to run its course...

Nick went to the flicks last night to watch American Pie: Reunion. He reckons it’s pretty good.

Nick also told us today that he fancies a Shane Warne/Ken Doll style makeover. I think this will necessitate his face being ironed out, some good, strong eyebrows tattooed on, and we’ll need to shoehorn him into a pink deep v jumper and some beige chinos.

I’m on it.

Simon Amstell, Jen's Taxi Service and Nick's trip to a Fruit and Veg Sex Shop...

14th May 2012

Simon Amstell is doing stand up at Harrogate Theatre this evening and I, for one, am very excited about it.

I’ve liked the cut of Amstell’s jib for a long time, since the days of Popworld with Miquita Oliver. He hosted Nevermind the Buzzcocks for a few years and managed to do an even better job of it than his predecessor Mark Lamarr. (Amstell said at the time that he hoped to beat “the universal, exceptionless rule that when a new host takes over an old show, it is a horrible, embarrassing disaster.”) Anyway, I'm loving his current show Grandma's House and can’t wait to see him tonight. Will let you know what he’s like tomorrow.

Nick’s Mrs is very happy with him because he took her on an outing to a most unusually exotic place at the weekend. Have a listen to the moment Nick had an unfortunate slip of the tongue and the inevitable corpsing that took place afterwards. Poor Gav. He has to put up with a lot doing the breakfast show news bulletins.

The Theory of Relativity, Soundchecks and Cheers...

11th May 2012

How do? How’s it going?

Had another good laugh on the breakfast show with Nick this morning. It flew by, which is always a good sign. Plus it supports the theory of relativity - probably my favourite theory after the one about gravity.

The new Stray FM Soundcheck survey is out today, I love doing the Soundcheck surveys. It’s where you get the chance to directly influence the music we play and how often we play it. Get signed up, if you’re not already, at www.strayfm.com and give us your opinions.

Check out the audio clip below too for some good bits from this morning.

Have a lovely weekend. We’ll catch you again on Monday from 6am. Thanks for listening.
