The Chris Moyle Show

RadioX

Hello and welcome to The Chris Moyle Show

on RadioX podcast with me, Toby Tarant

and thank you very much for having me this week

and well, it happened, didn't it it you can't take that away from us no

stuff happened a lot of it was captured on the radio exactly yeah i often think this i've said this

before in radio there's too much carrot not enough stick yeah because i don't think i should get

paid until after the show how'd you mean on a sort of performance-related pace situation? Yeah, I mean, I'd go hungry a lot. Yeah, yeah. I'd be starving. Yeah. But I just think, you know, the way that these contracts work, you sign the contract, that's it now. And I just think sometimes I finish my show at 1 o'clock. And obviously, unlike you and Chris and stuff, you know, you've got the whole team. Yes. You sort of decompress. Exactly that. Yeah. As a team. Yeah. I just sort of wander down into the Radio X office. Slump in a chair. Slump in a chair. Like a boxer who's just on 12 rounds I go got away with another one This is not getting easier Do you know what I've worked out right Because often people in the street Who listen to radio Stop me and ask how I've still got a job Right That's lovely to hear isn't it Well I've worked it out right Whenever I go down to the office Our boss Devo is never at his seat No Because I've worked it out, right? Whenever I go down to the office,

our boss Devo is never at his seat. No. Because I've worked out, 10 till 1 when I'm on is prime meeting time. Yes. So I've worked out, he's just always in meetings. Yeah, he's never heard of the show. I think that's the only way I can explain it. Absolutely. is that he genuinely has never heard the show.

I don't know if he knows who I am.

I've got no idea. I dread the day. You know, his secretary goes, I've cleared your meetings, seen 10 and 1 today. I thought it'd be good for you to listen to Toby's show. Yeah. And he goes, has he been doing this the whole time? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But this is terrible. What's he doing this for? I remember once, we got our listening figures through a couple years ago. And I'd had a really good book. I'd smashed it. And I think about five minutes after being told this news, I did genuinely one of the worst links ever where I lost the song that was wanted to play

then I was pressing all the wrong buttons

then I couldn't find something

this all happened live on air

I went into the ad breaks

producer at the time was Vin

he goes to me he goes

I know you've just had good ratings

he goes but you know there will be other ratings

and I said to you can't rest on all your lines yeah I know you've just had good ratings. He goes, but you know there will be other ratings.

And I said to him, you can't rest on all the lines. True. I said to him, I said, the problem is, this is the stuff that sticks. Yeah. This seems to be the stuff that lands. This is it. I always think it's, I'm a bit like Homer Simpson in the nuclear power plant. Yeah. I think part of Homer Simpson, you know, endearing qualities is that he's such a buffoon. Yes. That when you watch him, it makes you feel better about your life. Absolutely right. Yes, you're a barometer, aren't you essentially? I am. You got, God had a bad work at day today. Bad day of work today. But did you hear Toby? Yeah. he had a shock. And I'm happy to do that for people. That's nice. It's generous.
