613 - GREG JAMES - Viral David Attenborough Moment, Chuckle Brothers Obsession, & The WORST Celebrities He’s Ever Interviewed

We’re kicking off the festive season with broadcaster and all-round simply lovely man Greg James, who is living proof that getting up at 4 a.m. every day doesn’t automatically turn you into a grump. We’ll admit we have a soft spot for Greg, partly because he went to university in our hometown. We put his Norwich knowledge to the test, covering everything from “Who is The Puppet Man?” to the correct pronunciation of “Wymondham.”  Greg tells us what David Attenborough volunteered to do during their interview that sent the internet into a frenzy, and he takes on our word-association game featuring names like Miley Cyrus, Steve Carell, and The Rock. We dive into his most memorable listener interactions and the most starstruck moment of his career.  He also shares some pretty divisive opinions on the five best sports, explains the concept of “waste days,” and reminisces about terrible under-18 nightclubs. And, as a huge fan of baths himself, Jaack has his mind blown when Greg reveals the ritual that makes bath time 1,000× better.  Greg’s book ‘All The Best For The Future’ is out NOW.  Learn more about your ad choices.
