  Hello and welcome. You're listening to Galaxy
• 0:13
  Crashers, The Busted, and McFly podcast.
• 0:17
  The only podcast where the 2 worlds of Busted and McFly
• 0:20
  collide and we discuss the music, the madness and the
• 0:23
  mayhem of the naughties. I'm Shan.
• 0:26
  And I'm Tay, and on this week's episode, we are diving into one
• 0:29
  of the most dramatic tracks from Busted's debut album, Sleeping
• 0:33
  with the Light On. Yeah, we're talking about lost
• 0:36
  loves, overthinking, staring at the ceiling at 2:00 AM, and the
• 0:40
  absolute emotional roller coaster that is this song.
• 0:44
  Oh my God, it really is. That's the best way to describe
• 0:46
  it. We've got, Busted says coming up
• 0:49
  to this or that, of course, and we discuss our song of the week
• 0:53
  and reminisce on Love's Lost. How have you been this week?
• 0:57
  This Do you know what? This week so far has been pretty
• 1:00
  full on. Yeah.
• 1:02
  Yeah. And it's only time.
• 1:03
  It's Tuesday. Yeah, I know.
• 1:06
  Be recording on Tuesday. Feel like my week starts on the
• 1:10
  Saturday. Do you know what I mean?
• 1:12
  I go the other way. I go Saturday to Friday because
• 1:15
  I feel like my work week ends on a Friday.
• 1:18
  Nice. So yeah, I'm giving myself the
• 1:21
  four days. But yeah, it's half term.
• 1:24
  So it's just lots of parenting juggles, lots of Disney movies,
• 1:28
  lots of dance parties, and lots of pancakes.
• 1:31
  I'm so OK with that. That sounds like the pinnacle
• 1:35
  week for me. Yeah, and it's only Tuesday
• 1:38
  there. You go.
• 1:39
  Good weekend. Yeah, I know.
• 1:42
  Well it is going to be a good weekend really because on
• 1:46
  Thursday I'm going to my friend's house with my with my
• 1:49
  kids, like I'm going to my like adult friend's house.
• 1:53
  And by that I mean like my. Friends I don't really see with
• 1:56
  the kids. The ones that I don't really
• 2:00
  they're, they're like my Shannon friends.
• 2:01
  Do you know what I? Mean.
• 2:02
  Yeah, yeah, I get you. Yeah, yeah, I get you.
• 2:04
  But I'm taking the kids. We'd go, yeah, we're going to go
• 2:07
  in the daytime and we're going to make cakes all day and watch
• 2:11
  probably genuinely, I'm not just saying this.
• 2:14
  They are also my McFly friends. They're the people that I went
• 2:16
  to see McFly and Busted, McFly verse Busted with.
• 2:19
  So we're probably going to watch the McFly documentary, which we
• 2:23
  always watch when we're together on ITV.
• 2:26
  Yeah, definitely why and. We're just going to some cakes
• 2:29
  and I'm really excited. Ideal, I'm not going to lie.
• 2:32
  Yeah, I'm up for. That and then my programme.
• 2:34
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 2:36
  Of. Course, I live close and then
• 2:37
  too fast. Yeah, my parents are going to
• 2:40
  have the girls this weekend, on Friday, just Friday and
• 2:43
  Saturday, which is going to be really nice child free evening.
• 2:48
  I think Bradley and I are going to have like a late Valentine's
• 2:51
  Day on Friday night. He doesn't know this yet.
• 2:53
  I've not actually told him. Oh, it's your Valentine's
• 2:57
  surprise then. Yeah, that he has to take me to.
• 3:02
  We got I'm probably going to do something like a take away and a
• 3:05
  movie or actually, to be honest, probably the most likely.
• 3:08
  It's going to be like a trip to Spoons where we just end up
• 3:10
  looking at photos of the girls. Do you ever do that when you're
• 3:13
  not? Why do we?
• 3:14
  Why we do it at night when we get into bed.
• 3:17
  Like I'm just that they're like, oh, isn't she so cute?
• 3:19
  And I've just spent an hour trying to get her to go to sleep
• 3:21
  and I've gone downstairs and I'm like, why would you sleep?
• 3:24
  Oh, look at this cute picture of hers.
• 3:25
  She laughed. I love.
• 3:26
  Her so much. That's why she's crying.
• 3:28
  She's all I ever. Wanted literally, I was having
• 3:33
  an actual full on teenage argument with Autumn Alia and
• 3:37
  then I looked at a photo of her with her glass, her new glasses
• 3:39
  on and I was like, I'm obsessed with you.
• 3:41
  Yeah, where's my? Baby, I love you so much.
• 3:44
  Yeah, literally. But a minute ago I'm like,
• 3:47
  screaming at you because you're driving me mad.
• 3:50
  At the wall, yeah, that's. Exactly what we're going to.
• 3:52
  Do I get it? I get it.
• 3:53
  That sounds fun. Then how's your week been?
• 3:56
  Yeah. Pretty, I mean like I said, it's
• 3:57
  sunny Tuesday. Haven't done much.
• 3:59
  We've had a pretty full on week with podcasting and stuff
• 4:01
  haven't we? We've like done 2 episodes in
• 4:03
  like 3 days, which has been super fun.
• 4:05
  But yeah, this weekend was quite nice.
• 4:07
  We had we me and Jack don't really do Valentine's Day.
• 4:11
  We never really have like occasionally like we'll buy each
• 4:14
  other a card or like he might get me some flowers or some
• 4:16
  chocolates or something. But like with Marley and stuff
• 4:19
  now it's just, it's just money that we don't, I don't need
• 4:21
  chocolates because as I said before we started the podcast, I
• 4:24
  need to stop eating. I can't stop eating sweet food.
• 4:28
  And I'm not very good at looking after flowers.
• 4:30
  All the plants in our house are dying.
• 4:31
  I'm really not very good at it. But I've still got all my dried
• 4:34
  flowers from the wedding because at least I don't have to water
• 4:36
  them, worry about the dying. And so really, you know, it's
• 4:40
  and as much as we'd love to have time together, we don't have
• 4:42
  like parents that live here. So we can't go and be on our own
• 4:46
  for a night or whatever. And obviously it was my birthday
• 4:49
  the week before last anyway, so there was no need for us to have
• 4:51
  another Yeah night away. So yeah, we, we didn't do much.
• 4:55
  I had Galentine's Day instead with my best friend who lives
• 4:59
  next door, who's also been on the podcast, Tasha.
• 5:02
  She's been on the podcast before.
• 5:03
  Yeah, so we had Galentine's day with one of her friends as well.
• 5:08
  She came, she was lovely and and a musical theatre lover as well.
• 5:12
  So we literally. We had all.
• 5:14
  These wonderful things planned where we I brought like a board
• 5:18
  of like meat and cheese and crackers and grapes and Tash
• 5:20
  maids and pizzas and there were supposed to be 6 of us.
• 5:22
  So we had quite a lot of food and there ended up only being
• 5:25
  three of us. So we had so much food and like
• 5:28
  no, no one to eat it. It's so funny.
• 5:31
  I'm so surprised that you did the charcuterie, because that's
• 5:34
  like Tasha's special. Oh yeah, kind of thing, isn't
• 5:38
  it? I was shopping and she bought
• 5:40
  the pizzas because she was like doing actual food, if that makes
• 5:43
  sense. And I thought I'd just bring
• 5:44
  like a few. Like I'd just bought a pack of
• 5:45
  like mixed meat. And then I bought a couple of
• 5:48
  different cheeses and I can't eat cheese anyway.
• 5:50
  I don't know why I'm the one that always says I'll do the
• 5:52
  cheese because I can't eat cheese.
• 5:53
  I can eat Brie. That's the only cheese I can eat
• 5:56
  without wanting to die after it. So yes.
• 5:59
  So we had that, that was really fun.
• 6:01
  And then I brought a load of games and some of my face masks
• 6:04
  and stuff. We didn't do any of that, we
• 6:05
  just sat, we drank, well they drank 3 bottles between them and
• 6:09
  I drank a bottle to myself of wine and we just got really
• 6:12
  merry. And then we sang loads of songs
• 6:14
  on Tasha's Alexa all evening. So they made me sing Defying
• 6:18
  Gravity. It was hilarious.
• 6:19
  Tasha was like oh do it, you've got to sing it, you've got to do
• 6:22
  it Fee, she's amazing, you've got to hear her sing it.
• 6:24
  And I was like, I Can't Sing. I've got such a sore throat at
• 6:26
  the moment. My throat was so grooky.
• 6:28
  And there. But I bet you were still like.
• 6:31
  Oh, I still did it and it was like I did the original and I
• 6:34
  was like, this isn't right. It's not Cynthia.
• 6:37
  I've been sang it. I haven't seen Idina Menzel's
• 6:39
  version for so long. I was not prepared, but it was
• 6:42
  so much fun. I didn't come home until about
• 6:44
  half 12. I think I left.
• 6:45
  So it was. I know that sounds like a really
• 6:48
  early night probably to most of our listeners, but for me I'm
• 6:51
  normally in bed by half 9. Yeah.
• 6:53
  Oh, I had this idea. So I because listeners, you
• 6:59
  might probably already know this, me and Taylor are quite
• 7:02
  big Taylor Swift fans as well. We're going to a Taylor Swift
• 7:05
  night out soon together. And I had this feel, I had this
• 7:10
  like idea that maybe we could record a podcast before we go
• 7:15
  with like while we're together. Do you know what I mean?
• 7:17
  And then maybe record like a little segment when we get back
• 7:21
  after because you guys don't know but when.
• 7:23
  You're 2 in the morning. Yeah, that's what I mean.
• 7:26
  See, like see how we are at that time of morning because we're
• 7:29
  going to be. Hanging out our asses, you know
• 7:32
  that. Yeah, we are.
• 7:34
  But that's fine. That's fine.
• 7:35
  All in the name of content, my friend.
• 7:37
  Very true, very true. I love it.
• 7:41
  Great idea. Why not?
• 7:42
  Let's do it. Let everybody in on a Swift
• 7:45
  together and how it goes down. We know that.
• 7:48
  We know that some of you are Swifty fans.
• 7:50
  We know not all of you are. We know the music of McFly and
• 7:53
  Busted and Taylor Swift are very, very different.
• 7:55
  So we don't expect everybody to be as wide of music fans as we
• 8:00
  are. We love everybody, but it could
• 8:02
  be quite fun. Maybe we'll give that a go.
• 8:05
  Keep your eyes peeled. Anyway, it's time for this, all
• 8:11
  of that, now, this week. Mine's pretty random, so don't
• 8:15
  tell me. I kind of have gone with like,
• 8:18
  the theme of the song in that, like, it's quite dramatic and
• 8:20
  emotional. Do you know what I mean?
• 8:22
  So dramatic, isn't it? It's a bit dramatic and
• 8:24
  emotional and it's obviously about like somebody that you
• 8:27
  really care about. So I went with that, but I also
• 8:29
  went with like a bit of teenage drama kind of feel as well.
• 8:33
  So I've got accidentally send a dramatic paragraph about your
• 8:37
  feelings to the person it's about, or have them read your
• 8:43
  notes up where you've written out all the things that you've
• 8:45
  dreamt about your future together.
• 8:48
  Wonderful. So induce my anxiety or induce
• 8:53
  my anxiety? Really, really hard one there.
• 8:58
  Pretty much. I mean, it's nearly the same
• 9:00
  thing, but I feel like the first one is more like, like how much
• 9:06
  you actually like, if you were telling your best friend how
• 9:09
  much you really, really like a person would be very different
• 9:13
  to like what you'd written your notes to yourself about, like
• 9:16
  the kind of things that you want from your future, if that makes
• 9:18
  sense. Because I'm pretty bloody honest
• 9:21
  when it comes to my friends and like people that Yeah.
• 9:23
  About. Do you know what I mean?
• 9:24
  Like I'm going to tell. You, yeah, but then you could be
• 9:26
  like, you could be like really whimsical and like like kind of
• 9:31
  gross in your notes app. Do you know what I mean?
• 9:33
  Like really, I don't mean gross, like disgusting, but I actually
• 9:37
  kind of do mean it like that. But I mean like, you know, like
• 9:40
  really soppy and like that ain't true.
• 9:44
  But I think I think that is me in my notes app.
• 9:46
  Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
• 9:48
  I get you totally get. You, that ain't me, but to
• 9:50
  myself. Have you ever have you ever sent
• 9:53
  a message about somebody to that person?
• 9:57
  Yes, I have to somebody. I can't.
• 10:00
  I can't say it out loud because they listen to this podcast.
• 10:05
  Hilarious. Do they know?
• 10:09
  Will they know who they are? Yeah, No, no, not if I'm giving,
• 10:14
  if I think I styled it out well enough.
• 10:17
  But if I say it, then they'll be like aha, do you like?
• 10:21
  Me. That was brilliant, yeah.
• 10:24
  I did it when I was about 1516 No 6.
• 10:33
  No, I was 16. I had to have been 16 because I
• 10:37
  was about to. I was texting my best friend to
• 10:40
  ask them what symptoms you would have if you were pregnant and I
• 10:44
  sent them to my at the time boyfriend.
• 10:47
  Oh my. Jesus.
• 10:48
  And I was only 16. We'd only been together for
• 10:51
  like, we've been together for like a year.
• 10:52
  But obviously we were 16, so it wasn't ideal.
• 10:54
  Oh dear. I wasn't by the way, obviously,
• 10:59
  but still not. Ideal only just of age.
• 11:03
  I can literally, obviously, I can literally remember being sat
• 11:06
  on the toilet and sending the text and then looking at his
• 11:10
  name and being like, Oh my God, I've sent it to him.
• 11:14
  Oh. I remember him, just send him
• 11:16
  back. Tell you what the fuck was this
• 11:20
  Not for me? Was this for someone else?
• 11:23
  I when I did it, I won't give any details because like I said,
• 11:27
  they do listen, but I was thinking about a person, so I
• 11:31
  clicked on their chat. Do you know what I mean?
• 11:34
  Because I was thinking about them, but actually the message
• 11:37
  was supposed to go to Bradley. Oh dear.
• 11:40
  Was it? Was it a naughty message?
• 11:42
  That would have been great. No, it, it wasn't a naughty
• 11:44
  message. It was a, it was a, that would
• 11:46
  have been so it was a bit of a slaggy, offy message.
• 11:52
  Oh, I'll leave it. I'll leave, I'll leave it there.
• 11:55
  And once once we've finished recording and you ask me because
• 11:57
  I know you will who it's about, you'll realise why the world had
• 12:00
  ended, why I actually my insides fell out my asshole.
• 12:07
  Yeah, but but to answer this, I think I would say so I think my
• 12:11
  answer would be send a dramatic paragraph about your feelings,
• 12:14
  because in my notes AB I feel like I would be really.
• 12:18
  I've read I've read a lot of romance books.
• 12:20
  I think I'd be really fluffy and I'm not actually, if I was to
• 12:25
  send a dramatic paragraph to like, like you say, like to your
• 12:27
  friends, I would be like disgustingly honest.
• 12:33
  Not I wouldn't be like Fluffy, do you know what I mean?
• 12:35
  I get that I but I feel like I would be more honest like to
• 12:39
  myself in my notes app than I would my best mate.
• 12:42
  Being dramatic. Like if I was being dramatic and
• 12:44
  being like, like, maybe it's because it doesn't say whether
• 12:48
  or not you like that person. I'm thinking I've put like send
• 12:50
  a dramatic paragraph about your feelings, mate.
• 12:52
  It could be about somebody that you were dating that you don't
• 12:55
  like. Yeah, that's true.
• 12:57
  Oh my God, he's. So annoying.
• 12:58
  He's given me the ick because of this, this and this.
• 13:00
  Oh no, I've sent it to that person.
• 13:02
  Whoops. Oh, actually.
• 13:04
  And now you've said it like that.
• 13:06
  If I accidentally sent to Bradley half the things I say to
• 13:11
  my friends about him, I don't think I would be in a
• 13:14
  relationship anymore. That's.
• 13:16
  So true. Not for you, but for me as well.
• 13:22
  I mean, not, not 100%, but you know, yeah, I've been.
• 13:24
  So I might have changed my I might change my my my answer
• 13:29
  then, because I might be being whimsical and fluffy, but at
• 13:33
  least I'm not single. Still with two children.
• 13:37
  Very true. OK, I'm happy with that.
• 13:40
  That's fine. I think I agree.
• 13:41
  I think I would go with that one as well.
• 13:43
  Brilliant. Go on then you're.
• 13:45
  So mine is kind of based on this song, but also like just just
• 13:50
  busted in general I think. And I think it could go for
• 13:53
  McFly to be honest as well. So my this or that is what this
• 13:57
  or that an absolutely hilarious banger focusing on like straw
• 14:02
  story driven lyrics which we rant and rave about like proper
• 14:05
  banger or a deep cut ballad focusing on the vocals.
• 14:10
  So there's lyrics aren't that great, but the vocals slap.
• 14:14
  Oh, that's really hard. Oh, that's really difficult
• 14:19
  because. Yeah.
• 14:21
  I am definitely more of a lyric person than a music person.
• 14:27
  Like I can listen to some absolutely awful songs because
• 14:30
  the lyrics are so good, but also I love busting out harmony and
• 14:35
  some riffs in the car so. You know me.
• 14:40
  Oh, that's really difficult. I think I'm probably going to
• 14:42
  go. I think I'll probably go for the
• 14:44
  banger. A good, hilarious banger that
• 14:47
  has a good story. Yeah, definitely.
• 14:49
  Because I think especially when it comes to McFly and Busted,
• 14:54
  they're very, very good at both, aren't they?
• 14:55
  Let's face it. But I think like the ones that
• 14:58
  are catchier, that stick in my head, that I find myself singing
• 15:00
  more, are those like, like story driven, like bangers?
• 15:05
  They're not like I don't walk around singing not alone.
• 15:08
  I love not alone on my door. I love not alone, but I don't
• 15:12
  sort of like walk around the house singing it.
• 15:13
  I walk around the house going, do you know what I mean?
• 15:17
  Yeah, I see that. I see that in my head I've got
• 15:21
  broccoli versus walking in the sun.
• 15:26
  Yeah, true. Do you know what I mean?
• 15:27
  Walking in the sun is like, I'm not thinking about the lyrics,
• 15:30
  I'm thinking about his vocals in that song are just elite
• 15:33
  broccoli. Lyrics aren't that.
• 15:36
  The vocals aren't that great, but it's a really fun song.
• 15:39
  Yeah, exactly. And it is like you said, it's a
• 15:42
  story. It's story driven lyrics.
• 15:43
  It tells a story even though the the lyrics aren't like clever or
• 15:47
  like beautifully written, they're they're funny and
• 15:51
  they're happy and they're like they have a reason because
• 15:53
  they're they are driving a narrative.
• 15:54
  Yeah, I get you. With that, I was thinking, like,
• 15:57
  falling for you. And she wants to be, you know,
• 16:00
  like those funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:03
  Yeah, exactly, 100%. I agree.
• 16:05
  Yeah, I think I'd definitely go for the funny banger.
• 16:08
  I think I would too. As long as there's like, at
• 16:11
  least some sort of like harmony in there, that's fine.
• 16:13
  It doesn't have to be a whole song, you know?
• 16:15
  I need a riff. I need to be able to sing me
• 16:17
  sing me me song in the car. Just give me a good bridge and
• 16:21
  I'll be all right. That's the way to put it.
• 16:25
  Definitely amazing. OK, super.
• 16:30
  It's time for Song of the Week. This week we are leaving the
• 16:34
  porch light on, staring out of our bedroom windows and
• 16:37
  spiralling because we are talking about sleeping with the
• 16:40
  light on by Busted. I'm going to come to you first
• 16:55
  this this week. I think I, I feel like I did
• 16:58
  this to you last week as well, but I'm doing it again because I
• 17:00
  know you're a bit more prepared. Than I am.
• 17:02
  You want to judge me? Yeah, I'm yeah, I'm going to use
• 17:04
  what you say and then just copy it.
• 17:07
  OK, that's fine. That's fine.
• 17:09
  You want you want to know my ratings?
• 17:10
  Is that what you're trying to say?
• 17:11
  Indeed, yeah, I want. To know your ratings.
• 17:14
  OK, well, I have, I want to say I have two different ratings.
• 17:19
  I normally have my like actually I think I've got 3 because
• 17:22
  normally I have like my live rating and my rating now, but my
• 17:26
  rating as a kid and my rating as an adult are quite different.
• 17:33
  I think it this song for me as a child was 10 out of 10.
• 17:38
  I vividly remember making up little, like, dramatic dance
• 17:42
  routines in my front garden with my friends to the song.
• 17:45
  Like, I can see. Yeah, yeah, like proper.
• 17:51
  I can see myself. My old front garden had these
• 17:53
  two, like, planters on the side that never actually had plants
• 17:58
  in them. They were just like mud.
• 18:02
  And we used to stand on them and like jump off into the middle of
• 18:06
  the garden. We had this like, Oh my God way.
• 18:09
  So we'd jump off into the middle and we'd be like floaty.
• 18:12
  It was like, and I remember we would play this song on my
• 18:14
  little yeah, I bought this song in a magazine on my phone so I
• 18:19
  could play it out and out, you know, like in the back of
• 18:22
  magazines where it was like pay 1 LB and you could have to.
• 18:24
  Stop and play on your phone. Yeah, I remember that.
• 18:27
  I used to do that all the time. Yeah, so I remember, I remember
• 18:31
  doing this and I think this song is a kid.
• 18:34
  Like even the music video, I remember it so well.
• 18:36
  It was proper 10 out of 10 for me.
• 18:38
  But now I would say it's probably 7 out of 10.
• 18:44
  Not because yeah, I think it's an OK rating.
• 18:47
  It's and the seven isn't even because it's bad or the vocals
• 18:50
  miss or anything like that. I just think one, there's better
• 18:53
  songs on the album and two, I don't like the lyrics.
• 18:59
  Oh, really? I yeah, I think they're a bit
• 19:01
  baity. I they make you think that
• 19:03
  they're really deep, but actually they're really not that
• 19:06
  deep. Like he's basically saying he's
• 19:10
  scared of the dark now as X is engaged to someone else.
• 19:15
  Do you know what I mean? It's not.
• 19:18
  Bluntly. Like why?
• 19:21
  Why? Why you leaving your light on my
• 19:23
  friend? Come on.
• 19:25
  Oh. Shannon, don't be so.
• 19:27
  Horrible. They're emotional beings.
• 19:30
  I just think a lot of their other songs, even the shit funny
• 19:34
  ones, are better lyrically than this.
• 19:38
  But also I would say live this is an unmatched song when it
• 19:43
  comes to busted ballads. Like there is there is nothing,
• 19:48
  and I genuinely really mean that better than this song when it
• 19:51
  comes to busted ballads, Yeah, but I do think that is mainly
• 19:54
  down to the fact they only play the 2.0 version of Meet You
• 19:57
  There these days. That's very true.
• 20:00
  I completely get you with that. I think I think that Busted, and
• 20:04
  like we know that Busted has said with what was the other
• 20:08
  song we did, that was the ballad, the Busted ballad that
• 20:11
  they hated. Oh my God, why can't I remember
• 20:14
  it? Yeah, I can't think of it right
• 20:16
  now. It's gone.
• 20:17
  I know which one. I know which one we're talking
• 20:19
  about because we've already done it.
• 20:20
  But that one and they said how they, they obviously they hated
• 20:24
  that song. They would never perform it
• 20:25
  live. They were like bit like
• 20:26
  embarrassed by the lyrics and stuff.
• 20:28
  Yeah, and I know that on this losing you up, losing you,
• 20:32
  that's it. I knew it was something like
• 20:34
  that coming up as well. We've got without you, I think,
• 20:37
  which is not next or maybe the one after, I'm not sure.
• 20:41
  That's also. Yeah, that's also quite ballady.
• 20:44
  So considering like the first album, they've got 3 quite
• 20:47
  strong emotional ballads, haven't they?
• 20:50
  And we know that most people, most people love Busted for
• 20:56
  that. Like upbeat rocky year 3000 Air
• 20:58
  Hostess crushed the wedding energy.
• 21:00
  Do you know what I mean sucker? I really do quite like this
• 21:03
  song. I completely agree with you.
• 21:06
  As a kid, it was definitely a turn out and I think that I
• 21:09
  really did. I used to just scream this.
• 21:13
  And I remember having the album with them, like on the front
• 21:18
  stood against the black and white background with their
• 21:20
  like, you know, like the the height chart on the wall.
• 21:25
  And I can remember the lyric book inside and the middle page
• 21:29
  being a poster of them. And I used to literally put it
• 21:33
  up on the wall. But every time I had the CD on,
• 21:35
  I would get it down so that I could read all the lyrics
• 21:37
  because even though I knew the lyrics, I was like making sure I
• 21:40
  knew them and I I get. What you mean in that my friend?
• 21:43
  I do that now with Spot. I definitely do.
• 21:48
  And it's they're not complex, the lyrics at all, are they?
• 21:50
  Like you said that that is quite like easily written.
• 21:54
  But I do I do have a soft spot for it.
• 21:56
  It would have been a 10 out of 10.
• 21:58
  I think. I'd say I'd probably give it an
• 21:59
  8 now because I do. I do really like it.
• 22:02
  And I think I agree with you in that like there are better
• 22:05
  songs. That's why it's not like right
• 22:07
  at the top. But I do think it still pulls A
• 22:10
  heartstring for me. And Oh my God, seeing this live,
• 22:14
  nothing compares when everybody in the in the crowd turns their
• 22:18
  little torch on and everybody just waves the torch and you
• 22:21
  just look around and every and the harmonies and and obviously
• 22:24
  at this tour, they did it without James and it was so sad.
• 22:27
  And they just said. Oh, that was yeah.
• 22:29
  You know this, this is James's verse, and I'm not going to sing
• 22:32
  James's verse, so we're going to leave it to you.
• 22:34
  And then that's like the whole crowd singing the whole verse.
• 22:36
  Oh my God, it's so emotional. I don't think I can write any
• 22:40
  lower because of how in like amazing that was and I think
• 22:44
  even. That's what I mean.
• 22:44
  Like live is just unmatched, isn't it?
• 22:47
  It's something. Else.
• 22:49
  It's one of those songs where like I know last week I said
• 22:52
  that I much prefer being in a small intimate stadium, a small
• 22:56
  intimate like gig capacity, but this song in a in a stadium.
• 23:01
  Like a arena kind of thing, yeah.
• 23:03
  Yeah, is just ridiculous. This, this, this is the kind of
• 23:08
  song that's made for, made for venues like that, especially
• 23:11
  with the audience interaction with the, with the torches and
• 23:14
  stuff. 100 percent, 100%. And I think they enjoy singing
• 23:18
  it. Like it doesn't look to me like
• 23:20
  they didn't. They don't enjoy it and it's
• 23:22
  always on their set list. It's one of their main songs.
• 23:26
  They, you know, they did it at Busted versus McFly.
• 23:28
  They've done it at all their live gigs that we've been to.
• 23:32
  It was on their like released. Obviously their release stuff.
• 23:38
  They did it. I've done it live absolutely
• 23:40
  millions of times. Did they do a 2.0 of this song?
• 23:45
  I don't know actually. OK, so yeah, they did actually
• 23:49
  release this song after my quick fact checked of they released
• 23:53
  this on their 2.0 guest album with Death Havana, which Shannon
• 23:57
  you've just said that you quite like but I don't know anything
• 24:00
  about so I I. Liked them when I was like 15
• 24:03
  years old. Right.
• 24:05
  OK, well, I've listened to the whole album, so I've obviously
• 24:07
  listened to this. I just couldn't remember it.
• 24:08
  Obviously it wasn't like a stand out guest feature for me, but I
• 24:11
  think like, I like the guest feature album, but I think some
• 24:15
  of them were just not really necessary.
• 24:17
  Do you know what I mean? Does that make sense?
• 24:19
  They were good, but they weren't all necessary.
• 24:21
  It doesn't make sense to me because I liked all of them
• 24:24
  apart from the story because it escaped my brain.
• 24:26
  Yeah, well, I could have done without the Jonas Brothers, if
• 24:30
  I'm completely honest, but, you know.
• 24:32
  Alright, I'm going to go there again.
• 24:35
  I tell you what as well with this song.
• 24:37
  So earlier I was listening to a couple of like live versions of
• 24:41
  this song and I don't know if you've heard it, but the Virgin
• 24:44
  Radio UK, they they did like they did like a set.
• 24:48
  I think it must have been when they were like coming back and,
• 24:53
  and they did it on Virgin Radio and they like filmed it in front
• 24:56
  of some fans. And Matt Willis's voice on that
• 25:00
  song literally is just like the best.
• 25:06
  It's, it's like, it's like kryptonite.
• 25:09
  It's like the best thing I've ever heard.
• 25:12
  Is this earlier? When were you?
• 25:14
  When you messaged me earlier and you said you were looking for a
• 25:16
  video, you, you weren't sure whether they sung it live.
• 25:20
  It was about without you, wasn't it?
• 25:22
  Because I took a screenshot of a video that I was watching of
• 25:26
  them live. And my God, Matt's vocals in the
• 25:30
  live version of Without You is Oh my God.
• 25:33
  Really. Oh my God, you need to watch
• 25:35
  that. I mean, I know you will anyway
• 25:36
  because you'll be looking for it for the post, but oh, it was
• 25:39
  just so good. Just him singing that, like that
• 25:42
  one part. Oh my God.
• 25:43
  My my whole body, just really. Good so this I've just seen on
• 25:47
  my phone that it's called the sunset sessions at Virgin radio.
• 25:51
  You should Taylor and I mean this like to you, but also to
• 25:55
  everybody that's listening that might not have watched it.
• 25:58
  It is. Oh yeah, we've.
• 25:58
  Got people listening to us. Yeah, I always forget this is
• 26:02
  there's a conversation between me and you.
• 26:05
  The sunset sessions at Virgin Radio, they do 3:00 AM, they do
• 26:09
  sleeping with that, and they do all sorts and it's just
• 26:12
  phenomenal. So if you weren't a busted fan,
• 26:15
  that's what you need to go in the.
• 26:16
  Yeah, Well, exactly. Yeah.
• 26:18
  And on that note, talking of team busted or whatever, are you
• 26:21
  team sharks or sharks? Shark swam or shocks went?
• 26:26
  I am sharks swam and always have been.
• 26:31
  However, I can remember several times throughout my life
• 26:35
  thinking, am I singing the right words?
• 26:39
  Because sometimes I was like so adamant that it was definitely
• 26:42
  sharks. It was definitely sharks.
• 26:44
  And then I'd sing along with someone else and they were
• 26:46
  singing shocks and I was like, is it sharks?
• 26:49
  Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed. I've been singing it wrong.
• 26:53
  So I. Actually before this I looked at
• 26:55
  two different official like lyric site stuff, one of them
• 27:00
  being Spotify and they both say different ones so Spotify says.
• 27:05
  Shocks. And then the other one I went
• 27:07
  on. I can't remember what it's
• 27:08
  called now, so they seem to be genius or something.
• 27:11
  A lot of debate about this and it has been going on for an
• 27:14
  awfully long time. Because you're the opposite to
• 27:16
  me, aren't you? Are you?
• 27:17
  Team Shocks. I, I know that I'm not right
• 27:22
  after research, however, I will always say no matter what, I
• 27:27
  will also say, always say shocks went through my veins.
• 27:30
  Yeah. So I know I'm not right and I'll
• 27:32
  live with it. I had a look online as well,
• 27:35
  just like after, you know, seeing it as part of the segment
• 27:38
  and we did find a few things on Reddit.
• 27:40
  It also said that their Busted versus McFly merchandise for
• 27:46
  sleeping with a light on did say Sharks on it.
• 27:49
  It does say that it was confirmed on Busted social media
• 27:52
  also on their Instagram with a reel.
• 27:54
  This was about 5 months ago that the person had posted this on
• 27:58
  Reddit. Excuse me?
• 28:00
  And it was on Busted's official page.
• 28:03
  It was a video of the live performance and it had the
• 28:05
  lyrics over the top of it. And it did say sharks swim
• 28:09
  through my. Face.
• 28:09
  Oh my gosh, I just said. I've just watched a live
• 28:12
  recording of it. Why didn't I just look at their
• 28:14
  mouths? Well, I'll that's what I did.
• 28:17
  That is exactly. And it is very, I watched 2
• 28:20
  videos of them singing it live and 1 was focused on Charlie and
• 28:25
  the other was focused on James and I could not tell.
• 28:29
  I literally couldn't tell. I was like, surely you can see,
• 28:32
  you can tell the difference between swim and went and sharks
• 28:36
  and sharks and shocks is hard because it's only one letter
• 28:39
  that's different. But sharks swim and shocks went,
• 28:43
  they're very different. And that's what I was looking
• 28:45
  for. I was looking for that like
• 28:46
  hard, hard consonant sound with the TA.
• 28:49
  Do you know what I mean? Sharks.
• 28:51
  No one can see me right now. Me and Taylor aren't normally we
• 28:55
  video call when we do this, but we're not, yeah, we haven't done
• 28:58
  it. And So what you won't know know
• 29:00
  Taylor or anyone listening is that I'm sat here moving my
• 29:04
  mouth to sharks, sharks, sharks, sharks.
• 29:08
  Seeing how I'm literally sat here reading the words and just
• 29:13
  moving my mouth in the position of them to see how different
• 29:17
  they are. They're not very different.
• 29:19
  There you go. No, it's one.
• 29:21
  It's literally one letter, but it's swim and went.
• 29:24
  That's where I sort of, I could like feel that I.
• 29:27
  Knew maybe that's what I should be doing, not.
• 29:29
  I I also read, which was quite interesting that that somebody
• 29:34
  said, I really like that they chose sharks and that it wasn't
• 29:37
  shocks because actually you, you feel shocks in your body quite a
• 29:42
  lot, don't you? Sometimes you just sat there and
• 29:44
  you get like a shock up your back.
• 29:45
  Or have you ever had shooty bum? I mean, Keith Lemon talks about
• 29:48
  that all the time. Shooty bum.
• 29:50
  Shooty bum is the worst thing in the whole world.
• 29:53
  You just sat there and it's like somebody's shot lightning up
• 29:56
  your ass. Like I swear, I've had that so
• 29:59
  many times. I don't know if there's
• 30:00
  something wrong with me, but it's a real.
• 30:02
  Thing there is, you've got to shoot your bum.
• 30:04
  Shoot, bum. Yeah.
• 30:05
  And you get it in your back and your legs, whatever.
• 30:07
  But you never get sharks swimming through your veins.
• 30:09
  So it's a little bit very, it's a bit more dramatic, you know,
• 30:13
  it's a bit more. And that is what this song is.
• 30:16
  Destructive. Emotionally destructive.
• 30:19
  That's what I think is a good. Way he's scared of the dark now
• 30:22
  he's got sharks in his veins. There's a photo in a picture
• 30:26
  frame. It's all very dramatic.
• 30:29
  And also let's think about the fact that this song is literally
• 30:32
  about heartbreak, right? It's about struggling to let go.
• 30:35
  It's like when somebody leaves you or not.
• 30:37
  And I always see this as like like the one that got away.
• 30:41
  If you did you do you remember that song by Katy Perry, the one
• 30:44
  that got away? The.
• 30:45
  One that got away. Oh, that's song.
• 30:48
  Life. I love that song so much.
• 30:51
  I see that very similar to this in like obviously completely
• 30:54
  different light, but in the same sort of way.
• 30:56
  And it says like, you know, the, the, the song itself is about
• 31:02
  finding it hard to let go. It's shows about how like
• 31:07
  emotionally shaken the person is because they're having to sleep
• 31:10
  with the light on. And, and that refers really, if
• 31:12
  you think about story wise, like kids sleep with the light on.
• 31:16
  Do you know what I mean? Like adults don't like some
• 31:19
  probably do. And I can sleep with the light
• 31:21
  on, but I don't need it on. But I, I feel like if you, you
• 31:25
  think about somebody sleeping with a light on, you have that
• 31:28
  like childlike scared. It's like feeling unsettled.
• 31:33
  It's needing comfort. Like it's that sort of thing,
• 31:36
  you know, where like you, you don't necessarily relate that to
• 31:40
  love and being upset that somebody's gone.
• 31:43
  So I think it's a really clever way of doing it.
• 31:45
  It's like imagery, isn't it? They're showing like how emotion
• 31:47
  is shaped. He is, and I think as well, like
• 31:52
  I like this. Is it the second verse heard
• 31:55
  she's engaged. Spoke to her.
• 31:57
  Best friend. Oh, it's so emotional because he
• 32:00
  does say like no one's to blame. Here's where it all ends.
• 32:03
  And I think like, that's really emotional.
• 32:05
  I think like, I think a lot of us have probably had somebody in
• 32:10
  our life that we've lost in not like they're gone forever, like,
• 32:15
  you know, that kind of way, but in a it's just not the way it
• 32:20
  used to be. Do you know what I mean?
• 32:22
  Like we've all had friendships end and and not like, just
• 32:25
  because you've fallen out or something like that.
• 32:28
  I don't mean that. I mean, like if you've ever had
• 32:31
  a friend that. Yeah.
• 32:32
  And I can remember when I was, I was in primary school, it was my
• 32:37
  best friend. She was called Megan.
• 32:39
  And I used to spend every minute of every day with Megan.
• 32:42
  And I used to go over her house and she used to have this like
• 32:44
  little annex outside with like a little sofa bed in.
• 32:47
  And we used to have like little sleepovers.
• 32:49
  So we used to like play loads of games and we used to put makeup
• 32:52
  on each other and do each other's nails and talk about
• 32:55
  boys and we'd like write letters to each other and stuff.
• 32:57
  And like I just remember her being like my whole childhood,
• 33:00
  like she was just everywhere. And I can remember the day that
• 33:04
  she came in and she was just at to school.
• 33:06
  I mean, we were literally like 11 and she said I'm moving to
• 33:10
  Australia. And we were like, what do you
• 33:13
  mean? Like she was like I'm moving to
• 33:14
  Australia because her fact she was born in Australia, Her mum
• 33:17
  was from Australia or whether her mum was from Australia and
• 33:21
  she was born here, I can't remember.
• 33:22
  But her mum had this broken up with her dad and they decided to
• 33:26
  move to Australia and that was it.
• 33:29
  We were like, what the fuck? Like she's going and she left
• 33:32
  and it was just awful. I can remember the last day she
• 33:35
  was at school and everybody was crying, the boys, the girls,
• 33:39
  like my whole class we were just stood in the playground just
• 33:42
  hugging her goodbye. And I still, it still makes me
• 33:44
  quite emotional thinking about it and I'm 33 because it was
• 33:48
  like it chokes me up. It genuinely does like, because
• 33:52
  I can remember that, that feelings like it was yesterday
• 33:55
  and I've, it's really funny. When I was like 16, we went to
• 33:58
  Australia, me and my mum went to Australia and I saw her.
• 34:01
  It was amazing. We went out like way out of our
• 34:03
  way a few hours so that we could go and see her because I was
• 34:06
  like, if I'm in the same country as you, I'm coming to see you.
• 34:10
  And we spent the whole day together And when she left, we
• 34:13
  both cried and it was just like amazing.
• 34:15
  And it, you know, it'd been like a good 4-5 years since we'd seen
• 34:18
  each other at that point. And then she came over, you
• 34:21
  know, maybe like 10 years later. I think we were probably like
• 34:25
  mid 20s, maybe 2520. No, I wouldn't have been 25
• 34:30
  because I wasn't with Jack. So it must have been about 2223
• 34:34
  maybe when she came over and I met her, she came to Hale and we
• 34:37
  had a meal at the salt bar and we, we drank cocktails and we
• 34:42
  laughed and it was amazing. And like, I know that if she had
• 34:46
  stayed in this country, we'd still be friends now.
• 34:48
  She'd have been my longest friend.
• 34:50
  I know that like with all my heart that I, she would have
• 34:53
  still been in my, in my life. And I feel like songs like this
• 34:56
  are like that because I probably didn't sleep when she left.
• 34:59
  I probably found it really hard to sleep because she literally
• 35:02
  was like everything. She was my best, best friend.
• 35:05
  And I think so many of us have been through that.
• 35:08
  So many of us have have lost friends that, you know, not
• 35:11
  necessarily that they're that they're lost, but they're just
• 35:14
  not there anymore. You know, I know you've had that
• 35:16
  situation as well, haven't you? Yeah, I've got a a couple of
• 35:19
  friends that come to mind when I think about things like that.
• 35:21
  One of them is just we've just drifted and it's like really sad
• 35:26
  when I think about it because we lived together and we were best
• 35:29
  friends and she saw me through my darkest times, like proper
• 35:33
  the darkest of times. And I think I was, I saw her
• 35:37
  through hers, but just life, life's.
• 35:41
  And then you drift apart. And then I have another one
• 35:44
  which is like really painful to think about because she was my
• 35:49
  best friend for my entire, I don't want to say adult life,
• 35:54
  but like 16 and on NO15 and onwards.
• 35:59
  Yeah, it's like pinnacle point when you start to grow.
• 36:02
  Up with it, isn't it? When you become you?
• 36:04
  Do you know what I mean? And she was my person.
• 36:07
  We would we would go for like drives at midnight and we would
• 36:13
  put on like I can specifically remember us putting on Jason
• 36:17
  Derülo, want you to want me. And we would scream it in the
• 36:21
  car driving around at midnight in the rain.
• 36:25
  And it would be wonderful. And it's really that relation,
• 36:30
  that relationship or friendship ended.
• 36:32
  And that that's when I think about, you know, that whole
• 36:37
  sleeping with a light on metaphor that you're talking
• 36:39
  about being unsettled and scared isn't how I felt when it when it
• 36:42
  broke down, but it is how I feel when I think about not having
• 36:48
  that person anymore. Do you know what I mean?
• 36:50
  Like when it's like, here's where it all ends in the, in the
• 36:56
  in the song says to me like it's he's not talking about when they
• 37:00
  broke up, but he's talking about the hope.
• 37:03
  The hope since they've broken up to now has now ended because
• 37:07
  she's engaged. You know what I mean?
• 37:09
  That's that's where it all ends, that there's always that being
• 37:12
  together again. Yeah.
• 37:12
  Yeah, there's always that like, oh, it could still be even
• 37:16
  though you're not here. It could still be because we're
• 37:19
  you're you're you and I, me and we could still be something.
• 37:22
  But yeah, there's a there's a line, isn't there?
• 37:25
  I completely agree. And I think it's the the thought
• 37:28
  of knowing what could have been. Like I said, if Meg had still
• 37:31
  been here, I feel like we would still be best friends now and
• 37:34
  like. You could ever.
• 37:35
  Prove that you could never prove that you would still be best
• 37:38
  friends and like like you said, life changes and stuff, but I
• 37:42
  think it's that. Both of those girls would be my
• 37:44
  like maid of honour. Do you know what I mean?
• 37:46
  That's how that's what I mean. I mean, I'm not engaged or
• 37:48
  anything, but like, those were people that I would think about
• 37:52
  for those things. Do you know those?
• 37:53
  Moments. Yeah, exactly. 100 percent,
• 37:55
  100%. Like they're both, they're
• 37:57
  actually both godparents to my first child.
• 38:01
  Like that's how much they meant and still mean to me.
• 38:05
  Because if they didn't mean those kind of things to me, then
• 38:08
  I wouldn't think about them when I thought about this song.
• 38:11
  Yeah, exactly. And there's always a memory.
• 38:13
  Isn't that like you can't just erase people from your life and
• 38:17
  it doesn't mean you wouldn't want to erase them from your
• 38:19
  lives. It's not like it was ever
• 38:21
  something horrible that happened that they treated you bad, like,
• 38:24
  you know, or in a way that was they did something God awful.
• 38:27
  It's just adrift. And, you know, it's sad when it
• 38:31
  does happen. I've had it too, with, you know,
• 38:33
  with people in my adult life as well.
• 38:35
  And I think you, I think one of the best ways somebody described
• 38:38
  it. And I think I genuinely think it
• 38:41
  might have been you. I think you might have used this
• 38:43
  phrase at some point. And it wasn't necessarily about
• 38:45
  this, but it's it's like having different people for different
• 38:49
  seasons of your life. Yeah, yeah.
• 38:52
  And I know that how lovely it is to have a friend that you've
• 38:55
  known since you were like 12:30. And I can still be friends now.
• 38:58
  Like that's Tamara for me. You know, Tamara, you know,
• 39:00
  she's, I've known Tamara since I was 11.
• 39:02
  We've been through a lot together.
• 39:04
  We've been through heartbreak and, you know, first loves and
• 39:07
  first times and college and, you know, going to uni and parties
• 39:11
  and getting drunk for the first time and all those things.
• 39:13
  We've done a lot of that together or we've talked about a
• 39:15
  lot of it together and we were chose the same career path and
• 39:20
  she doesn't live far, but I don't see her every day.
• 39:23
  I don't speak to her every day, but she is a very close friend
• 39:25
  of mine. Still, it doesn't mean that she
• 39:29
  knows me the best because I don't think she knows me
• 39:32
  anything like you do, because I'm a different person with you
• 39:36
  as I am with her, because we have different things that I
• 39:39
  know I can talk to her about opposed to what I can talk to
• 39:43
  you about. And I think that's such a true
• 39:44
  thing. We do have different people for
• 39:46
  different seasons of our life, and I think that's OK.
• 39:49
  It's OK to have that. I don't think it's a bad thing.
• 39:52
  I think it's good. It's like what I spoke about
• 39:54
  earlier when I was like my adult friends.
• 39:56
  It's not really because you have like I have friends that have
• 39:59
  only ever known me as a mum. Yeah, Mum, Friends.
• 40:03
  Yeah, I have friends, Mum, friends.
• 40:05
  School friends. And then I have friends that
• 40:07
  don't really know me as a mum at all.
• 40:09
  Yeah, exactly like our friends from uni.
• 40:12
  I wouldn't say I'm close with any any of them really anymore.
• 40:16
  I mean I'm close ish with Steve and you know.
• 40:22
  And you would say that you you like them and you love them in
• 40:25
  a, in a way, but it like they're, Oh yeah, you're not
• 40:27
  like that with the way I am with them.
• 40:29
  Like it's different. Yeah, yeah, 100% I yeah, yeah,
• 40:33
  yeah. I love them so much, but it's
• 40:36
  they're not, they're not my best friends.
• 40:38
  Do you know what I mean? And but, but they, your people
• 40:41
  know me. Just know that.
• 40:42
  You care about? Yeah.
• 40:43
  Yeah, yeah, they know me. Not as a mum.
• 40:45
  Do you know what I mean? They know you need me and they
• 40:48
  know Taylor's hen party me. Do you know what I mean?
• 40:51
  They don't know they. But what I mean is they don't
• 40:55
  know me as like they don't really see me with my kids apart
• 40:59
  from at your wedding. I don't think they've ever met
• 41:01
  my kids. Apart from your wedding.
• 41:02
  No. No, Exactly.
• 41:03
  And then I have people like you who have known me through most
• 41:07
  of my seasons. Yeah.
• 41:09
  And you know me quite deeply in each of the seasons.
• 41:12
  Do you know what I mean? We were. 18 when we met, and I'm
• 41:15
  33 now. Yeah, that's 15 years.
• 41:17
  But that's what I mean earlier about like the 15 years.
• 41:21
  How is that even real? That's what I mean when I said
• 41:24
  about losing a friend, just losing a friend who's known you
• 41:28
  for your adult life. I don't really mean as an adult.
• 41:30
  I mean as you become who you are.
• 41:32
  Yeah, exactly do. You know what I mean?
• 41:34
  Get you? Yeah, definitely.
• 41:35
  Yeah, yeah. It's a very deep episode, isn't?
• 41:38
  It, it really is. Oh my God, how did that go from
• 41:40
  us talking about, you know, sharks and shocks to long lost
• 41:44
  friends? You know, we've said that on
• 41:49
  this podcast a few times. We've said that it's, it's
• 41:51
  mainly a music commentary. It's mainly us being stupid and
• 41:54
  funny and nostalgic, but that we like to be honest and open as
• 41:57
  well. And I think that's important
• 41:58
  because that's what our viewers are and our listeners are with
• 42:00
  us because we've had so many lovely people message and so
• 42:03
  many people share stories and, you know, reach out just for a
• 42:07
  chat and that's lovely. And I think that the fact that
• 42:09
  we can do that shows that we've got the right audience, you
• 42:11
  know? 100%, if you guys could read
• 42:14
  RDMS, it's like a very 5050 mixture of like, Oh my God, I
• 42:19
  love Tom Fletcher and also, Oh my God, I'm going through this
• 42:23
  thing. Yeah.
• 42:24
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 42:25
  Oh my God. I'm like, Oh my God, I'm going
• 42:27
  through this thing. Yeah, yeah.
• 42:29
  Exactly. Yeah, I think that's important.
• 42:31
  I really do. Well, a wonderful song with, you
• 42:34
  know, a nice hit. Not, I'd say not hidden meaning
• 42:37
  behind it, but a, a relatable meaning for so many of us.
• 42:39
  I think it's definitely not I. Still stand by my fact that they
• 42:43
  make you think it's deep, but it's actually really not that.
• 42:45
  It's not that deep, but we just got really.
• 42:47
  Deep. Yeah, on that note, we've also
• 42:51
  just got really, really deep swimming with the sharks.
• 42:56
  With the sharks, they're in my veins right now and I'm scared
• 42:59
  of the dark all of a sudden. Yeah, exactly.
• 43:01
  And on that note, if you could vote in the poll that I'm going
• 43:04
  to put underneath this episode, did you hear sharks swim or did
• 43:07
  you hear shocks went? Because we'd love to see what
• 43:11
  everybody chooses. And we're going to pop this up
• 43:13
  as a poll on our Instagram stories as well, so keep your
• 43:16
  eye out for that. I'll probably post it the day
• 43:18
  after this goes live or maybe the week after, just so you guys
• 43:21
  have got a bit of time to think about it.
• 43:23
  We'd love to hear what you. Think got a bit of time to
• 43:24
  listen to this song that has been out 20 years.
• 43:27
  I know, but people don't always on on the day this episode comes
• 43:31
  out. We always have like like 30 to
• 43:33
  50 people listen on the day. But then the week after is when
• 43:38
  we actually get like numbers of people listening because most
• 43:41
  when people when this comes out, most people at work, because it
• 43:44
  normally comes live on a Friday morning and most people are like
• 43:46
  on their way to work or at work. Most people listen over the
• 43:49
  weekend when they've got a bit of time.
• 43:50
  So, you know, we'll give you a, we'll give you a few days to
• 43:53
  think about how, because it's a very important question.
• 43:55
  Is it sharks or is it sharks? Who knows the deepest?
• 43:58
  It's the deepest question on this whole podcast.
• 44:00
  It really is extra deep. OK, let's get on.
• 44:07
  We're doing all right. We're at 45 minutes.
• 44:08
  So we're actually, I think we're probably perfectly stuck for
• 44:11
  this episode if we don't take too long doing positive tests.
• 44:14
  I've done these for you as well. So you don't actually know who
• 44:16
  they are. OK, You'll be fine.
• 44:21
  OK, it's time for Busted says. This is a game that we play
• 44:28
  every few weeks. We mix it up with McFly and
• 44:31
  Busted and I or Shannon chooses 3 or 4 quotes and the other
• 44:36
  person has to guess which quote matches which band member.
• 44:40
  So obviously this week is Busted and I'm going to read you 3
• 44:44
  different quotes and you have to tell me, is it Matt Willis, is
• 44:46
  it Charlie Simpson or is it James Bourne?
• 44:48
  Are you ready, Shan? Right.
• 44:50
  No, I'm notoriously awful at this.
• 44:53
  I know, why are we so bad at quizzes?
• 44:54
  It's actually depressing so. Bad at this, I promise we might.
• 44:58
  We do like these bands. I know.
• 45:01
  OK, these aren't too bad. I don't think they're too hard.
• 45:03
  I think you'll get these OK. Yeah, well, it's me.
• 45:07
  I will read them all and then you can think about it.
• 45:10
  OK, Rather than like me asking each one, I think I'll read them
• 45:13
  all and then you can have things for like you need to hear them
• 45:15
  all in order to sort of make it make sense in your brain.
• 45:17
  Quote number one, we wrote songs about what we knew, which at the
• 45:22
  time was basically girls and being confused.
• 45:27
  Quote #2 Being in a band that young, everything feels massive,
• 45:32
  every emotion feels like it's the end of the world.
• 45:36
  And quote #3 I always wanted to be taken seriously as a
• 45:41
  musician, not just the guy in a pop band.
• 45:44
  Oh, so quote 2 and quote three I think are the same person.
• 45:48
  I mean, they're obviously not. But no, they're not.
• 45:51
  But they do it does. It is quite similar, yeah.
• 45:56
  I think quote 2 is more about emotions and quote 3 is more
• 45:59
  about being taken seriously and #1 is just girls and being.
• 46:03
  But I feel like quote 2 and quote three would both be said
• 46:06
  in the same interview. Do you know what I mean?
• 46:09
  Yeah, they may. They may well have been.
• 46:12
  I just found them under different quotes for each
• 46:14
  person. OK, quote one I'm going to say
• 46:18
  is Matt Willis. OK, Matt.
• 46:22
  I feel like he's the, if it was back then, like if it's an old
• 46:27
  interview, Oh no, we wrote songs about what we knew, so maybe it
• 46:31
  wasn't an old one. I was thinking he's the only one
• 46:33
  that would really talk about girls because I feel like that's
• 46:35
  not really a Charlie thing to do.
• 46:37
  I think I don't really know the man and I think James would
• 46:42
  have. I think James would have.
• 46:45
  I don't know. I think I don't think he would
• 46:47
  mention girls either. But then again I am awful at
• 46:50
  this so maybe I should go with what I don't think I'm going to
• 46:56
  say. 2 is James and three is Charlie because I feel like
• 47:05
  Charlie would have said the pop band.
• 47:08
  Like if it was James he would have just said band.
• 47:11
  Maybe, but Charlie is notoriously trying to step away
• 47:14
  from being pop. Pop OK, I don't know, it could
• 47:19
  be completely. Are you locking your answers in?
• 47:22
  Yeah, she wants. To be a millionaire.
• 47:24
  Final answer. Final answer.
• 47:28
  OK. You have one out of three, just
• 47:34
  one. I mean, it's better than 0, this
• 47:36
  one is, but it's not as good as two and it's definitely not as
• 47:38
  good as three, OK. True.
• 47:40
  Did I get 2 and three the wrong way round?
• 47:43
  No, you're correct. Answer was number 3CC always
• 47:47
  wanted. To be taken seriously.
• 47:48
  I thought that was really obvious.
• 47:49
  Not just the guy in a pop band. I thought that was really,
• 47:51
  really obvious. So I'm proud you got that one
• 47:53
  right. It was James that said we wrote
• 47:55
  songs about girls and being confused, and it was Matt that
• 47:58
  said every emotion felt like the end of the world.
• 48:00
  Which I think actually was probably a quote from his On the
• 48:03
  Mend podcast, by the sounds of it, because I feel like I've had
• 48:05
  that before, like on in my ears rather than being read.
• 48:09
  So yeah, there you go. I'm just.
• 48:11
  Thinking that basically girls with James because I know what
• 48:14
  he looked like back then and I feel like he didn't get many
• 48:16
  girls. Hey, hey.
• 48:19
  I love James Bond till I die, James Bond till I die.
• 48:22
  And I loved him then, I love him now.
• 48:25
  So don't you dare. No, no, no.
• 48:28
  I will stand on it because James Bourne on his own.
• 48:32
  Yeah, I guess there are. There's a niche that wants
• 48:35
  niche. But you stand, James Bourne back
• 48:39
  then, next to Charlie Frickin Simpson, and you tell me that
• 48:44
  James is the one that gets the girls.
• 48:46
  I wasn't. Ever Charlie girl, I was James
• 48:49
  and Matt bro that. Do you know what is funny?
• 48:52
  The way I remembered. I didn't write these answers
• 48:55
  down because the way I remembered them was in my order
• 48:57
  of my favourite band members, James, then Matt Charlie.
• 49:01
  So I remembered who who wrote which quite.
• 49:06
  I don't like Charlie. Obviously.
• 49:07
  There's probably a bit of animosity there considering he
• 49:10
  left one of my favourite. Oh yeah, he made me, but he made
• 49:13
  me wear black for the first time and I haven't stopped since.
• 49:16
  Well, there you go. I did obviously look at him and
• 49:18
  think, Oh yeah, he's fair. But like, I mean, he's he's got
• 49:22
  a strange look about him. He's, I mean, even now, like I
• 49:24
  don't look at him now and think the same as I do when I look at
• 49:27
  Tom Fletcher or Danny Jones or even Matt.
• 49:30
  Are you joking? I really don't.
• 49:32
  No, I don't. I'm not on the Charlie hype.
• 49:34
  I know so many people are. It's not that he's not
• 49:36
  attractive. I'm not like he's not
• 49:38
  unattractive. I just, he's just not my vibe.
• 49:40
  You could see my face right now. Charlie Simpson sing Singing
• 49:43
  3:00 AM is enough to change infertility in all women.
• 49:48
  I mean, the voice is something else.
• 49:50
  Obviously the voice. I'm talking just physically.
• 49:54
  Like I said, he's not unattractive.
• 49:55
  I think my kind of thing, yeah. I think he's got the same appeal
• 49:59
  as like Ed Sheeran would do you know what I mean?
• 50:02
  Yeah. Ed Sheeran without the guitar.
• 50:05
  Yeah, not that great. Yeah.
• 50:07
  Although actually, no, I take, I completely take that back
• 50:10
  because Charlie and his wife in his Nine Inch Nails wife beater
• 50:13
  or his Brittany. Brittany or the Britain?
• 50:16
  Oh, the Brittany 1 is. So no, you can't.
• 50:20
  You can't say, oh, the Brittany one.
• 50:21
  No you can't after saying that. Sorry.
• 50:23
  I'm taking. Off.
• 50:24
  I didn't say he was. That he's not unattractive.
• 50:27
  I just, he's just not. I'm not allowed to appreciate
• 50:29
  Charlie Simpson and the wife beater sorry anymore.
• 50:31
  Anymore, right? Don't look like.
• 50:35
  The way it works, if that's the way it works, Shannon, you're
• 50:38
  never allowed to listen to McFly songs ever again because you
• 50:41
  voted them two out of 10 and. I stand by every single one of
• 50:46
  my twos exactly but you're. Cancelled from Galaxy Crashes,
• 50:51
  the podcast. Oh dear.
• 50:55
  I get it. It's fine.
• 50:56
  I'm sorry, Charlie. I still love you.
• 50:58
  Don't worry, it's all good. Not that he cares.
• 51:02
  He's listening. Sorry, Charlie, he's listening.
• 51:06
  And he's like, what did you say about my eyebrows?
• 51:10
  What? Did you say about my strange
• 51:11
  face? I am all for a bushy eyebrow.
• 51:14
  Have you seen my eyebrows? I haven't plucked my eyebrows
• 51:16
  since I was pregnant and my daughter was 2.
• 51:20
  So it's been 2 1/2 years since I plucked my eyebrows.
• 51:24
  What's that I get every time we mention Charlie's eyebrows?
• 51:26
  I think about the song McFly the musical where Tom's like, and
• 51:31
  I'd kick the one out with the eyebrow condition.
• 51:34
  Yes, I think about it every time.
• 51:37
  Oh, so good. I haven't watched any of that
• 51:39

• 51:42
