We looked at the script, you're like
0:01
there's not a single Olly Mers joke in this entire script, but you'll be pleased to hear
0:07
we managed to meet one in in the final list. No, you did it. You liar
0:11
Morning, Jack. Wah-ho! Yes, Jack. Morning! It's an absolute honour to be on your first show
0:17
You are our first guest. Within the studio, I wish I could just, like, feel you and smell you right now
0:22
This is so sad. Jack, this is going to be, just so you know, the biggest radio show of all time
0:27
and you are our first ever, the guest. It can only be downhill
0:32
from here. Jack, listen, Mersie was a little bit nervous coming to the studio today for his first
0:38
one, not that he needs to, because he's an absolute natural. I always remember you telling me once when I said
0:42
do you not get nervous going out on stage. And I think we were in L.A. at the time
0:46
And I'm sure you said to me, you just look yourself in the mirror, or psych yourself up before and say
0:50
Jack, I've got this. Do you still have to do that? Now, now I just get drunk. You can't really do that with breakfast radio
0:56
because then people think you have a problem. But the Brit Awards, it's definitely
0:59
Definitely just a cheeky little shot of tequila before I go out. And let's be honest, I think what really settled the nerves was you thinking of jokes for me and Nile
1:07
That was sort of the ongoing thing for quite a few years. Do you know what
1:11
We actually had a script meeting this morning and we looked at the script
1:16
You're like, there's not a single Olli Mers joke in this entire script. But you'll be pleased to hear
1:22
We managed to meet one in in the final list. No, you did it. You liar
1:27
No, Jack, please. genuinely one of the producers said you're not mucking off Olly Muz for the first time
1:33
in like five Britain Ollie you're not even going and he's still
1:37
coming for you I'll take that I'll take that as something can you give us a teaser
1:40
what the joke's going to be about no it's very it's very light
1:45
it's very light I mean Jack nothing you say he's light there's going to be something at the end of it
1:51
he's like diet Jack all of the rest of the strays are going off in other people directions Jack two people I sure you won be making jokes about Sabrina Carpenter and Teddy Swims They performing
2:04
How big is that going to be? Oh, no, I'm definitely making jokes about them. No one's safe
2:12
Nobody's safe. Nobody's safe for Jack. That's the trick, by the way. I do a whole fake script in rehearsal now because previously I used to do the actual script in rehearsal
2:20
and then you'd have like an hour of people from record labels. and publicists coming and knocking on the dressing room door
2:26
going, you can't say this, can't say that. So now I just do this fake script, which have you heard it
2:30
you'd be like, this is the lamest script ever because it's all me just like complimenting everyone
2:34
going, oh, our next award is the best musician I've ever heard. They're great. I love them
2:39
So, Jack, it looks really calm there. Is it been, what's it been like there today so far? You must have seen so many other stars
2:44
Who have you seen so far? I've seen Teddy Swims. I saw him do his rehearsal, and it was amazing
2:51
Sabrina Carpenter is about to arrive. and do her rehearsal. And Jade from Little Mix, lovely Jade
2:59
like her performance of Angel of My Dreams is insane. Jack, is your mom going to be there tonight
3:05
and how are you going to tame her and stop her from flirting with people like Harry Stiles? Do you know what
3:09
I saw the seating plan. My mum is going to be there. She appears to be on her own, on a table with five
3:16
That's brilliant. That is fantastic. Four five. They've just reformed. They're back in the big time
3:23
and they turn up at the Brits and they were on a table with my mum. Listen, Jack, we're going to have to let you go
3:29
because we know you're so busy over there at the O2. Have a good one, and we're sending you all the luck in the world
3:34
Thanks, guys. I can't wait to come in and chat to you in this studio. This show is going to be absolutely huge
3:39
I love you too. And when I saw that you were doing a show together, I was like, that is a slam dunk
3:44
It's going to be amazing. And it was lovely to chat to you. Very kind, Jack. Lots of love, pal
3:48
See you soon. Have a great one. Bye
