Howdy y'all!
Hello from Los Angeles, California, US of A!
For those of you who heard the show yesterday, you'll know that we're back from our holidays, but we're not in the UK - we're actually in Los Angeles this week.
We've been planning this week of shows for the last few months as Heroes is launching there in the UK at the same time as it launches here in the US so they've invited us out to meet the cast and generally get excited about the new series. As we were coming out though we couldn't resist calling on a few of our friends who live out here and asked whether they wanted to come in!
Yesterday we went to see The Simpsons!
To be honest, it was mind blowing! to sit in the studio and watch these nice voice over people suddenly open their mouths and out came all these famous Simpsons voices was a very weird and surreal moment!
As someone who loves our blog I had high hopes for the usefullness of the blog this week. Giving you updates of what we were getting up to with photos of this and then. It's only since getting out here I realise that's not going to happen because our working day of midday to 2am is your 8pm to 10am - and there's not much blog demand during those hours :)
So here's my 10pm blog - or for you, the pre-Tuesday show blog. Today on the show we've got another Dave and Dom story, Mel B's on the show live and we have stories from that Simpsons visit.
In the meantime, Hoop Dog is out here and has put together a very cool LA minisite. Check out our videos, photos, interactive map (oooh!) and don't forget for this week only there's a full length podcast EVERYDAY! Wow.
More LA stories throughout the week as the rest of the team blog their thoughts.
Have a nice day now :)

I haven't had a chance to listen to the Tuesday show yet so you may already have this information.
The "star" that Carrie took a photo with is David DeLuise.

I mean, my email address is about 10 years old and is after a Stereophonics song. I'm a fan!!! I've never heard your radio show before, but I'll be listening tonight!

By the way, tell Carrie that the guy she met at the Igor premiere is David DeLuise. He's on a show on the Disney Channel called 'Wizards of Waverly Place.'

The shows have had me laughing so much on the way to work...and the videos that I've watched tonight are fab. I don't think I've EVER laughed so much when listening to the radio. The licence fee is worth it...just for your show in the morning. And Mel B...what a laugh...and Chris and the carry cot...even better. And the American guy doing the weather. Need I go on...probably not! Worth every penny (erm...cent). Andy x

Just wanted to say loving the show from Hollywood. WiIsh I was with you as you look to be having so much fun. Brilliant!!
The chicken video is a real classic. WOrds actually failed me when I was watching this one. Maybe cause I was rolling around with laughter. Carrie - please keep hold of Dave if he tries to get on stage anywhere - ever again!! No on 2nd thoughts. Don't. Just make sure it's all on film again :-)
Just want to say though that I think the real star of the show at the moment is Dom. Seems like the last few months he has crawled away from the outser edges from the show to the fore front. The 'Tractor' chat live on the local radio was just brilliant. But the stuff from LA is showing that Dom truly is a LEDGEND in his own lifetime.
You go Dom!!
Love ya'
SamSkara

Easily the funniest and most compelling stuff i've heard on the radio! Chris and Dave G have got a fantastic chemistry going and their friendship seems geniuine. The story about the fight scene with Chris's bodyguard outside the London pub was hillarious! I'm not normally that bothered with celebrity interviews as I am driving to work at the time you usually do them, I like music playing when i'm in my car. However this morning I ran from my front door to my car and kept radio 1 tuned in all the way to work.
Well done guys, more of this please! Loved all the american - english differences references. Brilliant stuff!

The show this morning - with Dave Grohl and Kelly Jones - was worthy of any radio award anywhere on the planet! Loved it!
And the updates online are just hilarious! Watching Dave and Dom on their star search is comic genius, meant or not!
Not only am I waking up 45 minutes early every morning this week, I get to go to bed with you all on the daily Podcasts too!
Just one favour to ask though! Can we have more photos of Carrie in her summer vest tops, B-E-A-UTIFUL!
Loving the show guys, best of british to you all!
Smivvie :o)
