0:11
Hello and welcome. You're listening to Galaxy
0:14
Crashes, the Busted and McFly podcast.
0:17
The only podcast for the 2 worlds of Busted and McFly
0:20
Collide. Hosted by us 2 mums who just
0:23
bloody love McFly and Busted. I'm Sham.
0:27
And I'm Tay and coming up today, we're talking teenage crushes
0:30
and approval from family members because it's Mcfly's down by the
0:34
lake. So how has your week been?
0:37
I've heard it's been eventful so please share.
0:40
Yeah, it's been OK to be honest. It's been fine.
0:43
Nothing really to report back about.
0:46
I've had it's my solo week of parenting this week.
0:49
So we've had like lots of park visits, lots of movie nights,
0:54
lots of crafting. We actually, we built this pink
0:58
fairy castle thing out of toilet rolls.
1:02
Oh, it was pretty cool. So.
1:03
Sweet. Yeah, we got like a a set from
1:07
the works and we just like expanded on it with toilet
1:10
rolls. It was really.
1:10
Cool, I bet they absolutely love that.
1:13
Yeah, we love. We love a good craft.
1:15
We love the works we do. We love a good.
1:17
Craft. It's one of my.
1:18
Favourite shops? Yeah, I know.
1:20
Tell me about it. It's brilliant.
1:22
And they're just like ready for hours.
1:24
So yeah, it was lovely. Not not much else really.
1:28
Lots of my week has literally been sponsored by Disney Plus
1:31
and Netflix. I'm not gonna lie.
1:34
I am really disappointed in myself though because I
1:36
completely binge watched Bridgeton in two evenings.
1:39
Oh my, finished it. Yeah, goodness.
1:42
How could you? To be fair, I'm so bad at
1:44
bingeing, but because I obviously have to share the TV
1:47
with Jack, I can only watch Bridgeton when he's not here and
1:50
I'm on my own, and that doesn't happen very often.
1:52
So I really can't. I can't binge there.
1:54
Yeah, that's what I mean. It's been my solo week so I've
1:57
Oh my. Gosh, fair play to you.
1:59
I didn't even. Know.
2:01
I didn't know that the second series, I didn't know when the
2:04
second series, second part of the series was coming out.
2:08
So it's been a nice surprise knowing that I've got it to
2:10
watch. So I'm very excited about that.
2:13
Well, I didn't watch the first part.
2:14
I saved it all until the second part came out because I did not
2:18
like, I didn't want to wait. So I saved it all and I was
2:22
like, oh, I'll watch one episode a night and it'll be lovely.
2:24
So much such thank you. Oh well, I was going to say you
2:27
have so much self-control for waiting to watch the first part,
2:30
but then you watched it all in two.
2:32
Even so, maybe not. Well, I think it's 'cause
2:34
there's been such a big gap in between last season and this
2:36
season that like waiting a little bit longer, didn't feel
2:40
too much. Too bad.
2:41
But then once I start, it's like opening a bag tube of Pringles.
2:46
I just. Couldn't stop, I just could not
2:48
stop. And I feel like every time
2:50
there's a new season comes out and like the basic season on a
2:54
new main character, don't they? And I just feel like I like
2:57
attach myself to that character straight away.
3:00
I just absolutely love Benedict. I think he's, I think the series
3:04
is good. It's very like old school
3:09
Cinderella story vibes, you know, like the masks and like
3:12
all of that. I love that so much.
3:14
But I am and always will be a Jonathan Bailey Stan.
3:18
Season 2 and three, Well, my absolute favourites I think.
3:23
There wasn't enough of him this season.
3:24
No Oh my God and I love season 3 as well because I love Penelope.
3:28
I think her character it's insane but I definitely will
3:34
never ever forget Anthony and Kate.
3:37
They were definitely my favourite season.
3:40
I, I really loved Penelope as well.
3:43
She's that's my favourite season, but there's something
3:46
about this season I've seen a lot of negativity about it
3:48
online saying it just doesn't hit the way Bridgeton should and
3:52
I think it's completely uncalled for.
3:54
Oh. My God, yeah.
3:55
I know it like it does follow that like Cinderelli,
3:59
Cinderellary esque kind of thing.
4:02
But I just think it's brilliant and I love Benedict.
4:06
I think he's so kind. He's such a sweetheart.
4:08
He's just like he's he's the guy that you want your daughter to
4:14
be with. Do you know what I mean?
4:16
Absolutely. Not his like, not his like F boy
4:20
like past like. He's got a very sketchy past for
4:24
the the tonne would not approve of his past.
4:28
But to the woman he loves, he is the most wonderful man.
4:33
Oh, he's so I just think he's lovely, yeah.
4:36
It's nice seeing him to get him get a chance now as well at Love
4:39
'cause he's obviously been in the background for for all of
4:41
the seasons, hasn't he? So it's nice to see, yeah, that
4:44
it's his turn. Anyway, I suppose we should stop
4:46
talking about Bridgeton because this is a Busted a McFly podcast
4:49
and not a Bridgeton. Very true.
4:51
I mean, I mean, you know, it could be.
4:54
It could be. Anyway, how's your week been?
4:58
Yeah, it's been OK. I'm looking forward to this
5:00
weekend because I'm going to binge the whole of frigiton so
5:02
I'm very. Excited.
5:04
There we go. Jack's away this weekend, so
5:06
I'll be on my own in the evenings watching what I want to
5:10
watch on the telly, which is quite nice because he hates all
5:12
the things that I want to watch. Like we we watch this like he
5:15
picks good things for us to watch.
5:16
But I love a chick flick and I love something girly and I love
5:20
like all of that sort of stuff and he hates all of that.
5:22
So obviously it's not his thing. But this week gone, I on
5:27
Saturday went to no Sunday. I went to market just as a
5:30
buyer, which was really nice because they never do that.
5:34
I always, I'm always the person selling.
5:37
So it's really nice to go as a buyer with my friend Sophie who
5:41
has her own little crystal jewellery business as well.
5:44
So we went on the hunt for some bargains.
5:46
We found a few as well, which was nice and met a really lovely
5:50
lady who was like selling off the last of her crystal stock.
5:53
She's closing her shop down, so yeah, I've got some new stock,
5:57
which is good. And yeah, just been working just
5:59
back to school and back on supply.
6:01
I went back to my old school where I used to work today, so
6:04
that was nice. I go back every now and again
6:07
when they need someone, I'm like, Oh yeah, go and then I'll
6:09
do it. So I was in two different
6:10
classes today as ATA, so it's quite nice.
6:12
Yeah, I enjoyed it. It's been a good week.
6:14
I love that one. And Saturday was actually sunny
6:17
for the first time in like, ages.
6:19
And I remember you saying, Annie, you were like, oh, you
6:21
said it's raining and I'm going for a run in the sun.
6:23
I was just like, I hate. You Yeah.
6:26
So, so listen, Saturday was so Saturday was so up here.
6:31
It was lovely. So me and my friend Danny
6:32
planned to go for a run yesterday in Sidmouth along the
6:36
beach. The beach, the loop of the sea
6:41
front is like 1K. And we were like, let's just
6:44
keep going until we've run out of steam.
6:48
The wind. We did 1K.
6:51
That's all we did because we were like, but we just gave up.
6:55
We were like, this is not the one.
6:56
The wind, the rain, the the amount I'm a mouth breather.
7:00
When I ran, the amount of salt in my mouth, in my mouth, I was
7:05
literally running like this because I was trying to get out
7:09
the way of all the waves hitting me in the face and I wasn't on
7:12
the beach. So yeah, it was awful.
7:15
And then today it was sunny again.
7:17
I was like, oh, of course, of course it's sunny.
7:19
It was sunny on Saturday morning and Marley and I went to a
7:23
birthday party in a soft play. So we spent all morning until
7:27
half 12 in a soft play and then by the afternoon it just clouded
7:30
over. So I was like ohh.
7:33
The only piece of sun in the last what, 50 something days?
7:36
I know it was really lovely though, and actually it was a
7:38
soft play I didn't know existed, so now I know that there's a
7:40
soft play not. Oh, there we go.
7:42
It's only literally like 10 minutes.
7:43
Great. Education for a parent.
7:45
There you go. So yeah, it was quite good.
7:47
I'll I'll definitely remember that for future future visits
7:50
when we've got nothing else to do and it's pissing down with
7:52
rain. So yeah, overall, not a bad
7:55
week. It's time for this, all that.
8:00
Indeed, this is a segment that we do every single week because
8:03
we love it so much and we never run out of ideas.
8:05
So it's a pretty good one. This week we've gone for
8:08
nostalgia because we keep trying to decide whether we do like
8:12
McFly versus Busted or McFly songs versus McFly songs or
8:16
members versus members or. But we thought we'd go a little
8:20
bit different this week and we have got a very interesting new
8:23
news segment coming later on that it goes well with.
8:26
So this is our naughties nostalgia.
8:29
This or that I will. Should I do mine for you first?
8:32
Yeah, you do yours. OK, OK, I'm so ready for these
8:36
OK Cinderella story or Lizzie McGuire movie.
8:44
So hard. What?
8:46
How can you do that to me? Sing to me, Paulo.
8:52
Oh, Isabella, I think I would choose a Cinderella story.
8:59
But oh wait, no, I really love the Liz McGuire movie, but I
9:07
think I quote the Cinderella story at least once a week since
9:10
it came out. Waiting for you.
9:14
It's like waiting for rain in this drought.
9:18
Useless, useless. Disappointing.
9:21
Yeah. I think I'd choose your
9:23
Cinderella story also because like, it ignited this thing in
9:28
me where for like 5 whole years of my life I wanted to be a
9:32
roller skating waitress. Oh my God, the dream.
9:36
The Dream. Also also, it made me appreciate
9:39
Stiffler's mum in a whole different light.
9:43
Yeah, I think actually she wins it, however.
9:46
Such a good actress I love. Her.
9:48
I think she's crazy. McGuire Movie is so good you've
9:51
you've stumped me. Mrs Mrs Ungermeyer.
9:56
Ungermeyer, Gordo Gordo I had a fat crush on Gordo growing up.
10:03
I feel he wasn't even attractive.
10:05
No, he was like the dorky, like best friend who was obviously
10:08
totally in love with her. And he was.
10:09
She was just, yeah. Oh, so good.
10:13
Yeah, I think I'm going to Cinderella Story.
10:14
I'm going to. I'm going to lock it in and
10:16
probably change it in the next half an hour.
10:18
Yeah, you'll decide later, though you've chosen the.
10:20
I would agree, though I think the Cinderella story is just one
10:24
of those. It's Chad Michael Murray, mate.
10:26
Oh my God, It just doesn't change.
10:28
It just doesn't. It's like a freaky Friday.
10:31
Like, you know, like those like old school.
10:33
I mean, he's in that as well. Maybe it's just a Chad Michael
10:36
Murray thing. Chad Michael Murray Chad Michael
10:38
Murray. The next one probably shouldn't
10:41
go into too much detail about this because occasionally my mum
10:43
cheques in on this podcast, but in the naughties and early 10s
10:46
so I used to spend a lot of time with my friends on Omegle and
10:49
Chat roulette. So here your this or that is
10:52
Omegle or Chat roulette. Are you having flashbacks of
10:58
memory so bad? Do you?
11:01
Remember when we went on Omegle and we found like other
11:05
flatmates? Like they were like other people
11:08
on our course, also on Omegle. God knows.
11:11
And you were doing, we were doing the fringe.
11:14
We were like. Oh, that's the knives Fringe.
11:17
You. Know, it's really funny.
11:18
I found my old Flickr account. So because I'm a teacher,
11:22
obviously I have to, like, I have to make sure that the
11:24
things that go up online about me aren't like bad because I'm a
11:27
teacher. And like, not that I've got a
11:29
lot of things that are bad, but when I was younger, I did
11:31
photography and I took some photos.
11:34
Why I did fashion photography. So I was really interested in
11:36
fashion. I did a lingerie photo shoot of
11:39
a load of models in the forest, right?
11:42
So on my Flickr account, when you type my name into Google and
11:45
my old name, Taylor J Blake, it comes up with all of my old
11:49
Flickr photos. There's a load of people in the
11:51
forest in their underwear. So I had to e-mail Flickr to ask
11:57
them to try to delete my account because I can't log in.
12:00
I've had a bit of a nightmare with that, but it it definitely
12:04
took me back because one of the girls, bless her name best bless
12:07
her heart, her name's Jess. She's so lovely.
12:10
She she was absolutely beautiful.
12:12
She had a proper full for it, like a size fringe.
12:17
And in the photo, it literally starts like over here.
12:20
And I looked at it and I just just remembered us just taking
12:23
the piss out of that fringe that we used to do all the.
12:25
Time, my idol it was. So good.
12:28
It was so funny, but it was we just did it.
12:31
Why did we do it? What was what was about?
12:33
I don't know what it. Was I used to have a proper for
12:35
like it would curl along my eyebrows and sometimes I would
12:41
like clip it there with like a bow.
12:43
I can remember the photos of. Cine green.
12:46
Cine green. OK, go then, Omegle.
12:50
Omegle because I'm going to say Omegle because I've probably
12:53
because I've seen less penises on Omegle than I have on track.
12:55
Roulette. Really.
12:58
Are you sure it's? Every other on chat real it's
13:02
really not OK do you know what we.
13:05
Used to go and. Then skip anyway, so it was
13:08
never like it was just awful like and it wasn't until you
13:11
found somebody that was like fun.
13:13
Actually, you would have a laugh, wouldn't you, with some
13:15
every now and again you'd meet like a group of people that your
13:18
own age and you were like then you'd be like laughing and
13:21
joking and it would actually be quite funny.
13:22
But the Oh my God, so many penis. 90% of the time penis.
13:29
OK, final, final. This will happen today,
13:34
Christina or Brittany. So this is an easy one for me.
13:41
Battle of the NE Queens. This is a really easy one for me
13:45
because I liked Christina Aguilera, I liked Jean in a
13:49
Bottle. I like What a Girl Wants.
13:51
That's like anthem. That should be in our new
13:53
segment, That Song, But I was Britney bitch till I die.
14:00
Oh yeah. I was so Britney.
14:02
I was the girl that was on my bed pretending I was in the
14:05
lucky video. I I was born to make that song
14:09
born to make you happy. That song so good.
14:13
Born to make you happy will be at my funeral like I was Britney
14:19
hard that was born to make you so good.
14:26
I love it. Easy one for me, Lush.
14:28
OK, I think I agree. What's your choice of that one?
14:31
Yeah, I think I agree. I think I I equally loved
14:33
Christina, but I do feel like Christina Aguilera had a bit of
14:36
an air about her that I sort of felt like she thought she was
14:39
just so much better than everyone at everything.
14:41
Yeah, she was a bit snobby, wasn't she?
14:43
And I think like. Yeah, I was.
14:45
I didn't see her dirty Christina Aguilera.
14:47
I was into like, what a girl wants Christina.
14:50
Every, not every time. What was the Oh hurt, do you
14:53
remember that one that she did in the the circus theme 1 I
14:57
loved. That one.
14:58
And I am am beautiful. I am beautiful.
15:02
Mean Girls, yes, but I do feel like she had that energy.
15:07
I felt like she was like the mean girl, kind of like.
15:10
Like I wouldn't. Have got so she wouldn't have
15:11
been my friend, you know what I mean?
15:13
Not if she wasn't famous, she would not have been my friend as
15:15
I feel like Brittany was a bit more like sweethearty and like,
15:18
you know, she was just sweet, wasn't she?
15:20
And then she was then life. Life ruined her after that.
15:23
Bless her all. Free Britney, She's back.
15:25
The Free Britney movement. She's back.
15:28
It's all good. Yeah.
15:28
Go on then. I'll let you you do yours.
15:30
I'm very excited. OK, so mine for you.
15:33
First one. First out of the three.
15:36
It's a very serious one in my eyes.
15:37
Very serious. OK, Chad Michael Murray or Jesse
15:42
McCartney. Oh my God.
15:46
Brilliant. I chose Cinderella Story and you
15:48
chose Chad. Yeah.
15:50
I was thinking about him, Michael.
15:51
Murray I'm always thinking about Chad Michael Murray.
15:54
Oh, so an easy one. Because as much as I love Jesse
15:57
McCartney, no way is he going to beat Chad Michael Murray in any
16:00
way. Because I was.
16:01
Saying no. Beautiful.
16:02
Soul. Oh my God, I was obsessed with
16:06
him. One tree here Are you are you
16:08
joking me? I lived for that.
16:11
Show me and. My.
16:12
Old Lucas, Lucas Scott, me and my old best friend Holly.
16:15
We used to literally binge Wandry Hill at our house.
16:17
Like if I went over for a sleepover it was just on
16:19
constantly. Like that's so funny because I
16:22
didn't know if you'd so my original 1 was not Chad Michael
16:25
Roy versus Chess McCartney. I didn't know if you'd seen
16:28
Wandry Hill because my question originally was Lucas versus
16:31
Nathan. Oh, easy answer.
16:35
Are you Lucas? Oh, always.
16:37
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nathan.
16:38
I don't like Nathan. He was a Dick in the end.
16:40
He turned into a Dick. I was just like, well, not in
16:42
the end, but like halfway through.
16:44
He turned a bit dickish, didn't he?
16:48
I was always a Peyton girl and Holly was always a Brook girl.
16:53
And we were like, so Peyton I. Loved Peyton I I met a girl met
16:59
a girl at school called Peyton. Peyton Peyton.
17:02
One of the girls in the class I was in today was called Peyton
17:04
and I was like great name. Do you have a 30 year old
17:08
mother? Yeah, she probably does, not
17:10
going to lie, because she's like 7, so she probably don't go.
17:14
Yeah, exactly. That's probably where it came
17:16
from. Great question.
17:17
Yeah. Love Jesse McCartney, but no way
17:19
has he ever been Chad Michael Murray.
17:21
Sorry. Not at all.
17:22
OK so my first one, my second one is so MSN personal message
17:29
area filled with like song lyrics and cryptic messages
17:33
about your crush or your BIBO top 16 and like your
17:39
personalised skins. Oh.
17:41
That's really hard because I definitely had both and I was
17:45
like, I used to do all the little emojis in your MSN name
17:48
and like BFF and then their initials and like LOML.
17:56
All right, Taylor Swift. Still repping her 30 years
18:01
later. I I think it probably would go
18:06
BIBO because I did love MSN and I was so much about MSN in the
18:10
evening when I got home from school.
18:11
Like I stray on MSN, talk to my friends.
18:13
I feel like it was more about the conversations on MSN whereas
18:16
with BIBO I wanted my BIBO to look nice.
18:19
Yeah, you wanted people to write on your wall so everyone else
18:22
could see it. I.
18:23
Wanted people to send me their love, OK?
18:27
I want another half. Yeah, exactly.
18:31
My other half on the boat was two people, not at the same time
18:36
obviously, but the first one was a very emo guy called Sam, well
18:40
SJ. His name was SJ and he was from
18:44
Cornwall but lived in Scotland and he was a friend of mine, one
18:46
of my best friends at the time and I never actually met him but
18:50
he was like my online boyfriend. I feel like we all had one of
18:55
those. We used to face like like video
18:57
call all the time. And he had when that all came
19:00
out, he had like the sweepiest like dark black hair that was
19:06
like always like across his face and like dark eyeliner.
19:09
And he used to wear like chains and like sweatpants.
19:13
I love that I had one really cool 14 Glen.
19:16
Oh, love that Glen. Glen.
19:20
And I had the. My second one was Taylor
19:24
Naughtner. Oh yeah, the real one.
19:27
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I swear down, I swear down and
19:31
people are going to listen to this and be like, Taylor, are
19:33
you OK? I genuinely believed that I was
19:38
speaking to Taylor Nortner for quite a long time.
19:41
Wow, wow. To the point.
19:43
I mean, if he married you, he'd still be in the same situation,
19:46
Taylor. In my head I was like, well, he
19:48
loved me and I'm Taylor. He loved Taylor Swift and she's
19:51
Taylor, and now his new wife's called Taylor, so it might have
19:53
been him. He's got a type.
19:58
I could remember him giving me a the phone number of his best
20:04
friend who was a girl who was an American girl, and she used to
20:09
ring me. After school we used to chat.
20:13
I wonder. I wonder whose account it was?
20:18
Chatting to this random girl about Taylor Lautner like
20:21
thinking that he. Was five years later you would
20:23
have been on an episode of Catfish Mate.
20:26
It was that bad? Like what is wrong with me?
20:29
Why did I think I was? Speaking that is bad.
20:32
I mean, I was 14, so, you know, anything could happen at 14.
20:35
Well, there we go. And this is back before, like,
20:39
verification and stuff. Do you know what I mean?
20:40
Like, there was no like, yeah, ticks back then.
20:43
We didn't. Oh.
20:43
Yeah, I used to talk to, I used to talk to Lil Chris all the
20:47
time. Don't worry about it.
20:48
Oh, Lil Chris. Oh.
20:50
Yeah, Lil Chris. Well, my answer to that would
20:54
have been, I mean, I think it would be Bebo, but MSN, do you
20:59
know, I loved MSN so much that I didn't doubt my computer was
21:03
really old because it was like the family computer and I
21:07
couldn't download colour. MSN, you know, when you've got
21:10
like colour in your like description.
21:13
So I googled the code to put in my to put in my.
21:21
Dedication. So that people thought it was
21:24
colour. And I would.
21:25
Come across colour on their computer, but on mine black and
21:29
white it was. Just a load of words it was.
21:31
Like it was like 83379 dot dot hash.
21:38
Hashtag F6. Some kind of my chemical.
21:41
I'm on till I die. Love her, Josh.
21:44
Love her. Oh my.
21:46
God, I had a a blog play a blog page.
21:51
What was the old blog site called?
21:53
Can you remember? Can you remember where we used
21:57
to like blog stuff? Oh.
22:02
No, I'm. Going to have to find out what
22:04
it was called but my blog site name like username was the My
22:08
Chemical Romance lyric. I'm here for that.
22:11
I live for that. It was the one about what?
22:16
About the girl, was it so long and goodnight?
22:19
No, it was the the gun. It has something about a gun.
22:25
I can't remember, but I'll, I'll remember it later and I'll tell
22:27
you because it was like Blogspot or something like Blogspot.
22:32
Oh. No, that doesn't.
22:34
Feel that rings a bell, but it just was like a.
22:37
Blog where we would just like all go and like just write
22:40
absolute crap about our days and stories and stuff, you know,
22:43
like, you know, like where you would go to read like fan
22:46
fiction now. It was a bit like that.
22:48
I was just about to say, was it what pad?
22:51
No. Is that when you used to do a
22:53
blog, didn't you? My blog wasn't on what pad?
22:56
What pads? Like fanfic?
22:58
What was your I? Used to write on WordPress.
23:02
No, it wasn't WordPress. It said something like blog in
23:04
it. I'm sure it did.
23:06
I can't remember, but I used to love that place.
23:09
I love that. OK, you got one more for me.
23:12
OK, yeah, my last one for you is photo booth strips.
23:17
You know, like the strips that you get or webcam selfies.
23:23
Oh God, that's an easy one for me because I'm not a webcam
23:25
selfie kind of girl. I'm so awkward even just doing
23:29
this because you know me. We're just audio and this is
23:33
weird, very uncomfortable. I don't know where to look.
23:37
Do I look at myself? Do I look at you?
23:38
Do I look at this? Like the screen?
23:40
What do I do? Do I look at the camera?
23:42
Hello everyone. It's weird.
23:43
Do you know what I mean? It's definitely a photo booth.
23:46
I love a photo booth strip. I've still got a photo booth
23:49
strip of me, you and Autumn upstairs and.
23:52
Autumn was my living. Room Autumn was so small and
23:54
I've got, I think it's in a book, I think I've put it in a
23:56
like in one of my journals and every time I like come across
23:59
it, I'm like, oh so cute. We need to do a new one with all
24:02
three of us, or I mean all three of the kids.
24:04
Yeah, all three of the kids and us.
24:06
Yeah, definitely. That would be so cute.
24:08
Love that. What about you?
24:08
Are you a webcam selfie kind of girl like?
24:14
Well, now I would like a cool kid.
24:21
This is what the kids do now, isn't it?
24:22
They do like. Yeah, it is great.
24:26
Now, I would say 100% photo booth, right?
24:30
Because I think they just look really like, I don't know, I
24:32
just love them and they, you can't take them at home, can
24:36
you? You, you take them when you're
24:38
doing something nice and you walk past a photo booth and
24:40
you're like, oh, let's go. Do you know what I mean?
24:41
It's memory with every phobic picture, but when I was of the
24:45
era of these, this or that, I was full on fringe head down.
24:55
Serious face, I'm picturing it. Your photo really high.
25:02
A lot of your photos on like Facebook and stuff were like
25:04
like when we first met and I like to scroll back.
25:06
We were 18 when we first met. So obviously we were like out of
25:09
the like emo phase, but like still like had photos of.
25:13
That not a phase mom. I can remember, I can remember a
25:17
photo and all you can see is like your eye.
25:20
Yeah. It's just your hair.
25:22
And then you're like doing, you're doing like.
25:25
This. Yeah, yeah, just like that part.
25:29
Yeah, I always used to cut an eye off.
25:30
I don't know why it's. Just the eye.
25:33
Just the eye. Just cut the eye off.
25:35
I mean, we've all been there. Let's face it, we were all
25:37
teenagers once and we all made some very interesting choices.
25:40
So it's fine. It's all good.
25:42
We're living. We're living through.
25:43
We were living through the naughties together.
25:45
That's what counted together. It's time for McFly says the
25:52
Game, where we read out a quote from each band member and the
25:55
other person has to match them up.
25:57
So this week, Shannon, I have 5 quotes for you.
26:01
I know there's only four band members, but I thought I found
26:04
five and I thought, oh, I might keep that one because maybe then
26:07
you'll just have to work out who is it that I've chosen to put on
26:10
twice? OK.
26:12
Does that make sense? Yes, OK I'm so bad at these and
26:15
now you're giving me an extra 1. Yeah, but I I don't know, I
26:19
think you might be OK with this. There's a couple that I think
26:21
make a bit more sense than others.
26:25
OK, we'll just give it a go. We'll see how it goes.
26:27
Are you ready? So this first, this first quote
26:31
was discussing the film. Just my luck.
26:34
The band member says we were sporting one of our least
26:38
desirable looks in that film. He laughs.
26:41
There we were with a platform to be a really big band in America,
26:45
but we looked horrific. We had mullets and an
26:49
exclamation point. Oh, is that a?
26:53
Is that a hint? A Rooney.
26:55
No, that was just a quote. Oh, OK.
26:59
I'm not giving you any hints, I'm going to read them all.
27:03
Definitely did have a mullet. You'll go through them all, and
27:06
then you can go back and choose which one you want to do.
27:08
Do it that way. Yeah.
27:10
OK. Second one.
27:11
So this was talking about their hiatus and their comeback.
27:14
And it was talked about in an interview and about how, like,
27:18
the rest brought a fresh energy back to them all.
27:21
So this quote is, we are better than ever now.
27:25
Things need to stop for it to repair.
27:27
And then you bring your best. Then you bring your best to what
27:30
your band is. OK.
27:34
OK, next one. I mean, I'm nearly 38 now and
27:39
forevermore I don't see us as a boy band.
27:42
And that was them talking about their musical evolution from
27:45
being boy band to pop rock band. OK, next one.
27:54
All these layers build up. It's men not talking really.
27:58
And this was them talking about group therapy and communication
28:02
challenges during hard periods for them.
28:04
Oh, interesting. OK.
28:07
And then finally, the last 1234. Yeah, there is five.
28:12
Sorry, just double checking. Last one is an interview quote
28:16
from Digital Spy. I should have been sorry.
28:20
I should have a novelty best man, like somebody I don't
28:23
really know. Just so nobody gets offended.
28:25
I think I'll go out into the street blindfolded and the first
28:28
guy I touch can be my best man. I feel like I've read that quote
28:32
somewhere, but I don't know which one.
28:40
I am flabbergasted. I have no clue.
28:46
Difficult. It is difficult.
28:51
I think I'm going to say all these layers could be Danny.
29:00
He spoke a lot about mental health after he came out of the
29:04
jungle because he spoke a lot about it then, so I'm probably
29:09
going to put him down for that. OK.
29:13
Who is nearly 38? I mean, this could have been
29:17
from years ago, so it could be any of them.
29:21
I don't know when this quote got on.
29:22
This quote was. It's not like A and brand new
29:25
quote. I'm going to say that's Dougie.
29:29
I feel like I'm nearly. 38 now and forever more.
29:34
I don't see us as a boy band. Yeah, I feel like Dougie of all
29:41
of them probably doesn't want to be called a boy band.
29:44
OK. Maybe I'm I'm awful at this.
29:51
Any more ideas? What about the first one?
30:02
Well, I want to say Harry because he actually had a
30:06
mullet. He.
30:08
Definitely did. I'm thinking did Tom, what did
30:12
he just? I don't.
30:13
Know whether I, I don't know whether I would class Tom's hair
30:16
as a mullet. I mean, I know Dougie had sort
30:18
of like a log in the back, party in the back, business in the
30:21
front kind of hairstyle, which I suppose could have been classes.
30:24
And Tom's hair was kind of mullity, but I wouldn't say it
30:27
was the same as Harry's. I'm going to say Harry.
30:31
I'm probably completely wrong. I feel like he had a lot of
30:34
press about just my luck because of the him and Lindsay Lohan
30:37
situation. Yes, indeed, you are right about
30:42
that situation. Yes, things need to stop for it
30:45
to repair. And then you bring your best to
30:47
what the band is. I've got no clue, Tom.
30:53
OK. And then I'm going to say, I'm
30:56
going to say Dougie for the last one again, I've.
31:00
Got everyone Dougie. Dougie Yeah.
31:06
Yeah. Yeah.
31:07
OK, OK. Are you ready for your answers?
31:15
Number one was Harry. Well done, Harry Judge.
31:21
Yay. I did.
31:22
I kept the the mullet line in because I thought it might give
31:26
you a little bit of leniency because I thought if I stopped
31:28
it because I was going to stop it.
31:29
We looked at horrific and then I was like is the mullet line
31:32
going to give it away? Then I was like, I'll give it to
31:34
her because if she gets 0 again, she might quit the job that
31:37
we're doing right now and I. Probably would, so that's fine.
31:40
You've saved me. OK #2 we're better than ever
31:43
right now. Things need to stop for it to
31:44
repair and then you bring back your best to what your band is.
31:49
So this was actually Danny. Oh my goodness.
31:56
OK. Yeah, that's fair.
31:58
I thought was quite nice. Yeah, I like that.
32:02
That's fair. Yeah, yeah, but you went for
32:04
Tom. So unfortunately that one was
32:06
not correct. I mean, I'm nearly 38 now and
32:11
forevermore I don't see as a boy band.
32:14
This was Tom I think you when you were saying like you don't
32:18
think dog Dougie would like to. Why do I keep trying to call him
32:21
doggy? I keep saying doggy when you
32:25
were saying about how you think he would not want them to be in
32:28
a boy band. I think that I think that was so
32:30
Tom as well, like Tom really. And I remember reading a lot
32:33
about Tom, like, not like right now, but I like over the years
32:38
of how he wanted to get away from like the pop side of it and
32:41
like the West Line and the boy zone and like all of that.
32:45
So I thought that was a little bit more obvious, but obviously
32:47
not. So nothing for that one.
32:51
But you're right, you've still got one out of three so far.
32:53
OK, I got the mullet. It's fine.
32:55
Yeah, all these layers build up. It's men not talking, really.
33:00
This was actually Harry, so I. Was choosing between Harry?
33:08
Yeah. Oh, in my head I was thinking
33:12
it's either Harry or Danny, because I know Danny spoke a lot
33:15
about mental health, but also Harry did that whole book called
33:19
was it? The book was literally called
33:20
Happy, right? Yeah.
33:22
Yeah, I think or something like that.
33:23
And he spoke about the love of mental health around that as
33:26
well. So yeah, yeah, I was in between
33:29
2:00. Nothing for that one, I'm
33:30
afraid. And finally, I should have a
33:32
novelty best man like somebody I don't really know.
33:34
Just so nobody gets offended. It was Dougie.
33:36
Well done. So you got two out of five.
33:40
I'm not sure you can say smashed it, but you did OK.
33:42
As if I'm saying smashed it out for two out of five, but I'll
33:46
take it. A win's a win.
33:47
It's confident even though. Confident majority is lost.
33:52
It's all good. So, yeah.
33:54
And I thought they were quite interesting quotes, really.
33:55
So, yeah, hope you enjoyed those.
33:57
Yeah. They were, they were good ones.
33:58
They weren't like silly ones, They were good ones.
34:00
Well, sometimes it's nice to have funny and sometimes it's
34:03
nice to actually talk about them in a deeper way because they are
34:06
human beings and not just eye candy and great voices at the
34:09
end of the day. So it's nice to talk about them
34:11
as human beings and the thought of things that they they talk
34:13
about in their interviews I think can be quite interesting
34:16
and deep. So we're sharing that with all
34:17
of you as well. It's time for Song of the Week.
34:25
Right, I'm really excited for this one, so let's get into it.
34:28
This week's Song of the Week is Down by the Lake By the Fly.
34:42
It is. I'm not going to give away my
34:44
rating, but I feel like the enthusiasm I have for this song
34:48
has been probably the most enthusiasm I've had in this
34:50
whole podcast. So unmatched.
34:53
Unmatched. What's your rating?
34:56
So I love this song. I think it's full of energy.
35:00
I really like that it, it makes me feel like I'm back at school
35:03
and like, you know, they talk about like sneaking around and
35:06
like, you know, when you wouldn't like tell your parents
35:08
everything because you know, you're dating something that
35:11
maybe they wouldn't approve of or something like that.
35:13
I just really. Like with a star on his foot.
35:16
Yeah, well, yeah, in my in mine, it was someone with a Citroen
35:19
Saxo that was four years older than me.
35:20
But you know, it's fine, it's all good.
35:24
Same thing. So yeah, I really quite like it.
35:27
I I'm going to give it a 7.5, A 7.5.
35:32
It's not like my favourite McFly song.
35:34
I think this album is a good album, but I have better albums
35:38
and but it is a good one on this album definitely, for sure.
35:41
So yeah, 7.5 from me. What about you, 10?
35:44
Out of 10 mate. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10 finally happens.
35:51
Finally happened. We got a 10 out of 10 for a
35:54
recorded version, not a live version from Shannon.
35:57
Yeah, in the end, babes, go on then tell us I love about.
36:00
There in the end, I just think it's it has Esri, Esri, every
36:05
aspect that I look for in a McFly song.
36:09
It's got the storytelling, it's got the fun, it's got some of
36:12
the vocals, it's got the harmonies.
36:14
Even that, even though it's fun, it's so well sung, harmonised,
36:20
told like I can see myself, I this is the one song on the
36:25
album I wish had a music video because I can see.
36:28
Sad it would be so. I can see it in like I can see
36:33
it in American Pie. Do you know what I mean?
36:35
Like I can see it in like a really like a comedy based.
36:39
Teeny movie. 90s teen movie yeah I.
36:43
Think coming of age. There are no I have no slates to
36:48
any of the lyrics. Absolutely.
36:49
No notes. Absolutely no.
36:50
Notes. Like literally no notes.
36:52
Yeah, they are good. It's just, I'm like reading
36:54
through the lyrics now because I've got them in front of me and
36:56
I just think it's just so good. It's just.
37:00
I like the I like the bridge where they're talking about the
37:04
bridge recently and. I like the guitar solo.
37:07
Yeah, definitely so. Good.
37:09
Told him once I liked him but I lied.
37:11
Yes, that bit. That's it.
37:13
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I love it.
37:14
And I think it's so like, I think we've probably all dated
37:18
somebody that our parents don't approve of at some point.
37:21
You know, like they the parents, parents, they, you know, they,
37:23
they, they love us for who we are and they want the best for
37:26
us, obviously, but we don't always choose the best, so.
37:29
You know, sometimes we. Like to make bad choices.
37:32
But you know what? I just love, you know how I was
37:34
saying a couple of weeks ago about how like, how dare James
37:38
Bond look the way he did and say things like, how can you leave
37:41
me here unseen to. I love the fact that Tom
37:45
Fletcher has written this song being Tom Fletcher, and he's
37:49
like saw the star on my foot and the way I behaved like my friend
37:55
you, you are a Gold Star student.
37:58
Grade A handing your homework in on time, keeping up with the
38:03
after school clubs for extra credit.
38:05
Like, yeah, right. Like he said I looked pretty.
38:10
He said I looked pretty cute, but I don't got the grades.
38:13
I've seen the star on my foot and the way I behaved, and we're
38:16
better off when daddy's out of town.
38:18
Are you? I'm sorry, you are the model
38:21
like. Model student.
38:23
But then we say that. Do you think he do you think he
38:26
was? Do you think he like when we
38:27
because we don't actually know. I feel like we have these like
38:31
ideas of of what they were like when they were really young.
38:33
Because obviously when we like they came out, they were in at
38:36
17. Obviously they'd already done
38:37
school and stuff like we were at school, weren't we?
38:40
We you know, we're like 5-6 years younger than so we were
38:42
the ones that were like at school and going through all of
38:44
that. Actually, do you think because
38:46
they went to Sylvia Young, Tom went to Sylvia Young as well,
38:49
didn't he? With Jay?
38:51
He was, he was like a proper, they were McFly were like busted
38:57
with the alcohol, McFly with the weed.
39:00
Yeah, very true. I heard that in an interview.
39:02
I think it was. Yeah, I think it was an on the
39:05
mend. On the mend, Yeah.
39:07
Oh, it was with it. Was Dougie's Dougie's episode
39:10
with Matt on On the Mend? The first ever On the Mend
39:12
episode was with Dougie and they.
39:13
Were when he spoke about the police coming over.
39:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And how they found a flesh stuck
39:17
to the ceiling. Yeah.
39:21
But still, I think even if he had that, I think even if Tom
39:26
had that kind of personality with his, with the lads, I don't
39:29
think he genuinely don't think he'd be like that in front of
39:31
the girl he likes or the girl he likes.
39:33
Dad. I just think it's so funny.
39:35
But yeah, I think, and also I've seen this band upwards of 30
39:40
times live. I've never seen the song live.
39:43
Yeah, I know I've I've been I've seen them half the amount of
39:45
times of you and I definitely haven't.
39:47
So it's it would be so good to hear some of these old school,
39:52
you know, ones that just but I think the problem is people
39:54
don't know it. Like I think unless you are like
39:57
a bit more of a dedicated fan, it's this one wasn't overplayed
40:01
on the radio. It wasn't something that you
40:03
would hear, you know, them seeing live very often.
40:05
So unless you were a stand for the album, it really isn't
40:08
something that that people would know, if that makes sense.
40:12
In my opinion, this song brings the album up.
40:15
So I think this is one of my This isn't like a top album for
40:19
me, but overall it is a high rated album.
40:22
Even though the songs individually I I don't rate very
40:26
highly as a whole, I think the album is so nostalgic for me
40:31
that I I can't rate it low and it's 4 songs like this.
40:34
I've got 100% properly, like, oh, surfer babes not alone.
40:39
Yeah, like we can't. Yeah, Yeah, exactly.
40:42
And in general, the album is very good.
40:44
Yeah, I think. I think, like I said, it's about
40:48
the ones that were overplayed, I think are the ones that are the
40:50
skip songs. It's the same you think about
40:53
like Taylor Swift and stuff like actually, songs like Shake It
40:56
Off and like Cruel Summer and You know, are great, are good
40:59
songs in their own right. But I don't listen to them in
41:01
the car. I skip them because I hit.
41:03
I've heard them so many times that I'm like, I don't want to
41:06
listen. To them, I'm 100% with you.
41:08
Yeah, so when I This is why I don't listen to the radio,
41:11
because I listen to Archie. I'll let you in on a secret.
41:13
I listen to magic musicals in the car.
41:17
So so I've got Arya my 4 year old saying Alexa play magic
41:23
because I either listen to Magic where it's 90% Ronan Keating
41:27
when you say nothing at all, or Magic musicals.
41:32
Magic Musicals is my favourite. I love it so much because like
41:35
that is, that is how songs die a death.
41:37
I think they get overplayed. And I say this to Jack all the
41:39
time. Like he's got some great music
41:41
taste. He listens to some loads of
41:43
diverse songs, but he's very much into like his country kind
41:46
of style at the moment. He listens to like I did listen
41:48
to like Noah Khan and like Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, like
41:52
those sort of Zach Bryan, like those sort of people and I
41:55
really appreciate them. I really like that music.
41:57
I love to listen to him in the car.
41:59
My problem is he plays the same song over and over.
42:05
Jack is your version of Radio 1. Every time I get in the car, I
42:08
could tell you now what he's going to put on straight away.
42:10
It's Zach Bryan featuring some woman, and it's called Madeline
42:12
and he's going to play it on the way up and on the way back from
42:15
wherever we're going. Not, not the Lily.
42:19
Allen, Madeleine. No, not that one.
42:21
Madeleine. Who the fuck is Madeleine?
42:23
No, definitely not that one. And you know what?
42:25
It's a really nice song, but I've heard it so many times that
42:28
now when it comes. Along I'm like overplayed.
42:31
Yeah, is. Your Radio 1 Jack is your Radio
42:33
1. Exactly.
42:34
I think that's what it is. I think radio does sort of dumb
42:37
things down a bit, which is why I think I've got appreciation
42:39
for songs like this. I also feel like there's a bit
42:41
of a parallel between this and Saturday Night.
42:43
Do you feel like it's got a little bit of the same vibes?
42:45
Yeah, 100%. Yeah.
42:46
I think I read that quite highly as well.
42:48
But also, I want to pull you up on this, Taylor, OK?
42:51
Because you're, you're telling me one thing, but we all know
42:58
your number one song. Well, maybe not number one.
43:01
Star Girl is the most overplayed song I've ever had in my entire
43:03
life. Shannon I cannot I there is
43:06
nothing in my physical body, mentally, spiritually that I
43:12
could say bad about. Star Girl.
43:13
I fucking love that song. Well, I said everything wrong
43:18
about it without saying the word Star Girl.
43:20
It's overplayed. Yes, it's yes, it's overplayed.
43:23
It is overplayed. That is the only thing.
43:24
It's overplayed. But it's a storytelling.
43:27
Soul is when I'm. Upbeat.
43:29
It's amazing live, like there's everything about it is just
43:34
amazing. I love that song so much, the
43:35
music, the instrumental bit, like how can that not make you
43:41
happy? Do you know what I mean?
43:42
The best thing about Star Girl is when I'm walking around Asda
43:45
and it suddenly comes on, then I am doing the Star Girl kicks
43:48
down the aisle. Up and down.
43:49
The aisle, I'm not, I'm not, I don't put it on.
43:53
And it's for the exact reasons you just said it's because it's
43:56
overplayed. It's it's like I am such a album
44:01
track girl. No, I am, but I, I Star Girl is
44:05
not. It will always be #1 for me.
44:07
Do you know what it is? Album shows to people that I'm
44:09
an album track girl because I've rate yeah so low, but it's
44:13
because. It's.
44:13
Because most of this album was released as singles.
44:17
Well, the first half of the album was released as singles
44:20
because it was their first album.
44:22
Yeah, exactly. I think for, for me, star girl,
44:25
I have like like vivid memories of, of Starker or when I was
44:29
younger, but I also used to listen to it when I got to like
44:31
my mid 20s. They used to play it every
44:34
Friday, maybe early 20s used to play it every Friday on the on
44:37
Radio 1 and it was like the going home songs.
44:40
Yeah, on Friday and like. Friday.
44:43
I used to wait for Friday and I could not wait to put bloody
44:46
Radio One on on the way home from work because it was just
44:49
the best thing ever. Chris Moyles was the breakfast
44:52
show. So on a Friday morning Chris
44:55
Moyles. Chris Moyles would put it on a
44:57
Friday morning on the breakfast. Maybe it was a morning, it might
45:00
have been on the way to work, I can't remember that was on the
45:02
way or on the way home, but I just remember being on route
45:06
from or to work in the car and every time, every Friday coming
45:09
on and it was just the best thing ever.
45:11
I used to love it. Yeah, I used to listen to it on
45:13
the bus. So I used to get a double Decker
45:15
to college and I would sit on the top of the double Decker and
45:19
I would listen to it. Me and my friend Lisa would
45:21
share headphones, and they were wired ones back then because I'm
45:24
old. And we would share them on the
45:28
back seat of the double Decker. And we would listen to Chris
45:32
Moyles's McFly Friday every single Friday, even though we
45:35
had an iPod shuffle, so we could have just put Sagal on it
45:39
anytime. Anyway, I love that so much, the
45:43
things we do for McFly, hey. Exactly.
45:48
New segment alert. Oh yeah, the lost songs of the
45:54
naughties. This is where we revive the
45:56
absolute bangers that deserve their flowers.
46:00
Do you know what right this this idea came to me today because I
46:04
got in the car today and I was looking for like a new playlist,
46:09
something just, you know, a bit different.
46:11
And I've obviously been looking at naughties and 10s sort of
46:14
style music for a while. We've been talking about them
46:17
and stuff. And I found a naughties playlist
46:20
and I clicked on it and Oh my God, it was the best 20 minutes
46:22
of my life in that car. I didn't want it to end.
46:25
I did not want it to end. It did the songs that were
46:28
coming out. I was like, this is phenomenal.
46:31
So I was immediately like, right, that's it.
46:33
New segment on the podcast. Every week we're doing lost
46:36
songs and the noise because there's so many songs.
46:38
And yeah, it's just going to be a quick 5 minutes at the end of
46:40
the podcast because this is a McFly and Busted podcast.
46:43
But we know that majority of people that appreciate McFly and
46:47
Busted are our age, born in 90s, grew up in the noughties and
46:51
know that they like the same sort of music as us.
46:54
So we think you will appreciate this.
46:56
So this week. 100%. Because of everything that's
46:59
going on online and the tour that this notorious Queen is
47:03
doing at the moment, we've decided to talk about the Queen
47:06
of lost songs herself, Miss Hilary Duff.
47:09
I don't want to talk about this tour.
47:11
Thank you. I'm so sad because I genuinely
47:13
really want to. I looked and I looked and I
47:17
looked and I every single day. Taylor is on a fucking school
47:22
day. Weekday.
47:23
Yeah, I know. And this is exactly what I
47:25
asked. That I can get to.
47:27
I asked Tasha if she wanted to go as well because she was like,
47:29
should we go and see Hilary Duff?
47:30
And I was like, it's all in the week.
47:31
Like how are we supposed to do it?
47:33
Like with work, Like we can't, you know, and it's limited.
47:36
Obviously she's not. She's only in certain places and
47:39
it's big cities as well. So it's far for us to travel,
47:42
but because we can't go to tour, we're going to do a little
47:45
segment about her instead. So we've been today when I was
47:50
in the car, the song that came on that that literally it came
47:55
on on shuffle and I just lost my shit was fly.
48:00
Now I can remember. Oh my God, I think it was on one
48:04
of her movies. I can't remember which one it
48:06
was on, but it was in the background of one of her movies.
48:10
And I remember learning this song when I was younger, like to
48:13
sing. And I remember being in my
48:16
sister's bedroom in Bristol. And it was like in the summer
48:19
holidays because I would spend half the summer with my mum in
48:21
Cornwall and half the summer with my dad in Bristol.
48:23
And I was, I would play this off my sister's little stereo in the
48:27
in her bedroom and just stand in the mirror and like, sing it.
48:30
I love that that's just. Like vivid memory of me singing
48:34
this song, Oh my God, it's so good and the lyrics were so
48:38
beautiful. I can just remember the
48:40
beginning. She says in a moment, everything
48:43
can change and like, and she talks about how like you, you
48:50
need to be able to express yourself and spread your wings
48:53
and be who you want to be because life can change so
48:56
quickly and like, you need to be able to open up and fly and
48:59
spread your wings. And I just think, Oh my God, it
49:01
was such a beautiful song and so well written.
49:05
And actually her voice isn't like the most phenomenal voice
49:09
out there. You know, we can't compare her
49:11
to, well, you know, you can't compare her to the the big like
49:15
Beyoncé and you know, that sort of stuff.
49:17
But I mean, I don't listen to Beyoncé.
49:18
So you know, there's that. And I think Taylor Swift, Taylor
49:21
Swift is very similar. She's not like the best vocalist
49:24
of all time, but she's a performer and she's a writer.
49:28
And I think the same for Hilary Duff.
49:29
I think she just sings with a lot of emotion and I really, I
49:32
just love her her the song she's written up.
49:35
I think it's very. Soft and it's very like.
49:37
Beautiful. Very soft.
49:38
It's very like pop Princess. It's very.
49:44
Emotional pop Princess though, you know, it's very emotional
49:48
pop Princess. It's not.
49:49
This is where dreams are made of.
49:51
Do you know what I mean? We all love that.
49:53
And it's not even like wake up is very wake up.
49:56
Wake up. Like fly is so different.
49:59
Fly is so emotional. I feel like it was on.
50:02
It was probably on like Raise Your Voice or something that had
50:06
a bit of a sad. Oh, what a movie.
50:09
Oh my. Gosh, that film, Oh my God, I
50:11
used to cry so much of that film because it was just so sad.
50:15
So, so good and like relatable, I think for a lot of people that
50:19
were trying to make it or trying to get into like music or
50:23
theatre or that sort of stuff. But like the whole thing with
50:25
her brother and Oh my God, it was just like so heartbreaking.
50:28
But the songs in that show, Oh my God, because the last song,
50:33
obviously that she sings in that film is Someone's Watching Over
50:36
Me, which is another absolute emotional roller coaster.
50:41
Roller coaster, Yeah. Literally.
50:44
But then you go to songs like anywhere but here.
50:47
Why not wake up? Like all of these songs are so
50:51
like you said, they're very like pop Princess but like in a
50:53
really cool like like almost like Oh yeah style.
50:57
Do you know what I mean? Like in your like late 20s and
51:00
it's OK to appreciate. Wake Up was like Wake Up was my
51:02
jam. I was saying to Taylor early
51:05
when we decided to to listen to when we decided to talk about
51:08
Hilary Duff. I was saying that the album that
51:11
Wake Up was on, I used to listen to the whole album was the
51:14
length of my auntie's house all the way to my then boyfriend's
51:18
house. So I would listen to the whole
51:20
album all the way there and I would stop outside her front
51:22
door. I'd lock the door behind me and
51:24
then I would get my iPod or whatever it was out, press play,
51:29
and I'd wait until she started talking and then I would walk.
51:32
That song was so that that song, I don't know what it is about.
51:37
It's not even that great, but it's.
51:39
Just it's just catchy. Cat.
51:42
Yeah, it is. That's exactly it.
51:43
It's catchy. It's an ear worm.
51:45
It is is exactly everything that era of music represented.
51:50
Yeah, exactly, 100%. It's very naughty, isn't it?
51:53
Like, and, and I actually looking through the playlist
51:56
that I was playing earlier, there's a running theme with
51:59
actually the lyrics of a lot of the songs that were playing
52:02
weren't that great, but they were really good songs.
52:05
They were just really catchy. And the ones that did tell a
52:07
story were good, like in the way that they like, like, do you
52:12
remember? I don't want to bring them up
52:14
because I know we really want to talk about them, but there were
52:16
so many songs that I like, I would like.
52:18
Do you remember Disturbia by Rihanna?
52:21
Yes, I did. Oh my God.
52:25
Oh my God, that you've just like ignited a memory in my brain.
52:29
I for in performing arts when I was in college.
52:33
Stop challenge, stop it. Didn't we do the same thing
52:36
before we even met each other? Because I also used it in a
52:39
performance. No, no, no.
52:41
So it wasn't me. Our class did a mash up for
52:45
Halloween. We did a what's it called when
52:49
they're supposed when like people jump out the crowd Flash
52:53
mob. We did a flash mob in the middle
52:54
of our in the middle of our. College.
52:57
I love that. Thriller and Disturbia mashed up
53:01
together. Amazing, I did.
53:03
Well, video of that somewhere. I you need to find that so I can
53:06
see it, please. I for my drama GCSE we did a
53:11
performance about being by a some a bipolar person.
53:15
No, it wasn't bipolar. It was a schizophrenic or
53:19
something like that. Someone with like mental health,
53:21
like like split personality kind of thing.
53:24
And it was really dramatic. And we used Disturbia because in
53:29
the show I was like the, the inner voice of the person.
53:34
So I played like the, the sort of devil on your shoulder kind
53:37
of character. And the Disturbia scene was like
53:41
a, it was like a dance like, but it was like a scene but like
53:47
through the music, if that made sense.
53:48
And I just remember like moving the main character was a guy
53:52
called Ryan. I remember moving him round like
53:54
a puppet and like doing a lot of like the dance moves.
53:57
And it was like quite scary. We had like flashing stroke
53:59
lights and like corners where there were shadows and like, it
54:02
was really cool. I bet you any money if I watched
54:05
it back now I'd be like, what on earth is this?
54:08
What am I doing? But it was really good.
54:11
But yeah, that, I mean, what a banger, Disturbia, what a tune
54:15
like. But we're still talking,
54:17
obviously, about Hilary Duff. And one thing I want to bring up
54:19
before we close off for the evening is her new songs,
54:23
because there's been a lot out and about about her new songs.
54:26
I know you said earlier you haven't had a lot of time to,
54:29
like, listen to any of her new stuff.
54:31
Have you heard any of the stuff online or seen any of the bits
54:33
online? I've listened to the first like
54:36
4 maybe tracks on the album and I've got very strong opinions
54:41
about what's being talked about online.
54:43
I'm not going. To go good.
54:44
I'm glad because I have to. Shall we talk about it?
54:46
Yeah, well, I feel, I just feel like when she was younger, she
54:50
was like sexualized a bit because she was a very pretty
54:53
young lady on Nicola or Disney Channel, sorry.
54:56
And now she sings about sex and suddenly she's not allowed to.
55:00
And I. Just Oh my God.
55:01
Also because she's like 40 and they're like 04 year olds aren't
55:05
allowed to sing about sex. What?
55:07
What? How the fuck do you think she
55:08
had kids? Like, yeah, are you, are you OK?
55:12
She's she's you sexualized her when she's a child, then that's
55:16
fine. But now she speaks about like,
55:20
she doesn't even go into that much detail.
55:22
There's like, it's literally. So mine, it's so minor.
55:26
It's so minor. It's in roommates, isn't it?
55:29
And there's another song called Mature that's also got something
55:32
a little bit like the risque in it.
55:34
I mean, Christ, for some of the songs that we hear on the radio
55:38
that that are like just blanked out, I mean, there's some.
55:41
Warehouse pussy. I was just about to say, can you
55:44
remember WAP? Because the majority of that
55:47
song was silence. Because they couldn't say any of
55:49
the words. Yeah, but and that was.
55:52
On the radio. The word head.
55:53
And you're like, Oh my God, I generally heard that song.
55:57
I heard the controversy before I heard the song.
55:59
And my initial thought when I heard the song was, oh, it just
56:04
sounds like she's trying to find a word to get to the next, like
56:07
to get the rhyme. Do you know what I mean?
56:09
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's getting to the point, like
56:12
she's got the point there, but she's trying to get the rhyme
56:14
and it just fit really well. I didn't find it any like.
56:18
I think it was a really good I think I think it was a really
56:22
good song. And I think that if you actually
56:24
think about what she's saying in that song, it is relatable to so
56:28
many people. Do you know what I mean?
56:30
Especially when you are a bit older and you have been married
56:33
for a long time and you have got kids and like, everybody gets to
56:36
that stage where, you know, maybe things aren't quite the
56:39
way they were before. And that's not.
56:40
I don't think that should be a bad thing to talk about.
56:43
I think it's really. Sad the whole song.
56:45
The whole song isn't about like, sex at all really.
56:49
At all. It's about her relationship.
56:51
It's called roommates. It's about becoming roommates
56:54
with the person you love like. Love.
56:56
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
56:57
Somebody that you absolutely adore, that you just end up like
57:00
the things that you would do with somebody coexisting with.
57:02
Yeah, exactly. The things you do with somebody
57:04
you love compared to things you do with a roommate is very
57:06
different, and I think that's the point that she's making.
57:09
I think the line as well, she says.
57:12
Did she say something like this is the bit that she was, that
57:17
she was, that that was everywhere?
57:20
Because she says touching myself by the front door, but you don't
57:23
even look my way no more. And I think so many people
57:27
focused on the first part of that line that they didn't hear
57:30
the second part. A. 100%.
57:32
I got goosebumps when I had that line.
57:35
I like felt really emotional, but everybody was like
57:38
disgusting. Why would you think are you
57:40
taking the piss? That is so?
57:43
What a fucking heart wrenching lyric.
57:45
Like the lyricist says. She's begging for his attention.
57:48
He doesn't care. He's.
57:49
Not giving it to her. Oh my God, It's not about sex.
57:52
It's about her, how she's feeling.
57:54
She's feeling that she's not appreciated.
57:55
She's feeling like she's standing right in front of him
57:58
screaming that she loves him and she wants him and she wants all
58:00
these things and she's not getting any of it.
58:02
I mean, that's brutal. That's not the song isn't about
58:06
that part of the line. It's about the message that
58:08
she's trying to give and I'm so glad.
58:10
That she's a woman, so she's not actually.
58:12
Exactly, exactly. Say it louder for the people
58:16
that can't hear you because I'm fucking absolutely advocate for
58:20
this sort of stuff. It really winds me up.
58:22
I think we're OK to to let our kids listen to listen to songs
58:26
like WAP, but this is not OK. Really.
58:30
Yeah. And also really it's because I
58:32
think genuinely as well, it's because it's not a TikTok song
58:35
because. And I know that's a little bit
58:37
like, you know, everyone's trying to make music for TikTok
58:40
these days. But for example, Pink Pony Club,
58:42
which my 7 year old and four year old love, is about a
58:46
stripper A. Stripper.
58:47
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
58:48
Yeah. Can you remember Anaconda?
58:52
Yeah. My Anaconda don't want some, my
58:55
Anaconda don't want none. Unless you've got sponsors.
59:01
Literally like these, like all these songs have been around for
59:04
such a long time nobody makes a fuss about any of them.
59:07
But one woman in her 40s says that she's just having a bit of
59:11
a frig by the back door because she's a bit lonely.
59:14
It's the end of the bloody world, do.
59:16
You know what I mean? What's that?
59:18
What's that lyric that we said about the other day that, like,
59:20
fully freaked me out when I probably heard it?
59:22
Something about erupting like a volcano.
59:24
Oh. That was the.
59:25
That's fine. Because Jason.
59:26
Derulo, Jason Derülo. Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah is.
59:29
That oh, no, no, it wasn't Jason Derülo.
59:31
It was the other one. The other. 10 Neat, not Neo.
59:35
Makes very similar music. Yeah.
59:36
Neo, Neo. Yeah, very similar music.
59:39
Yeah, exactly. A dancy rappy R&B guy.
59:43
Disgusting. I'm not okay with it.
59:45
I think this world really needs to be shaken because they don't
59:49
think about what music is actually about.
59:52
They just want quick fixes and things that are catchy and not
59:55
actually thinking about what is being written.
59:57
That's the whole point of. Bradley says this to me.
1:00:00
Bradley says this to me all the time.
1:00:01
He says. I've got tip tock brain.
1:00:03
Because I need things quick. I need things now.
1:00:06
I need I like, I don't have any patience.
1:00:08
I've got a tick tock brain because everything's short form
1:00:10
content. But it's so true.
1:00:12
And if I have that as a 32 year old, I cannot imagine how my
1:00:17
child is going to be when she's my age.
1:00:19
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
1:00:21
It's scary to think about, isn't it?
1:00:22
Oh dear. Well, other than that, Hilary
1:00:28
Duff. Hilary Duff, we love you.
1:00:30
Keep going gal. And can you please attempt so
1:00:33
yesterday? Exactly.
1:00:35
And you can you please attempt to put some tour dates on a
1:00:37
weekend so that us teachers and TAS can come, please?
1:00:39
Because we'd really like to go and like.
1:00:41
Relive our youth and be there with you.
1:00:43
Yeah, I I am the girl. I'm, I'm the girl at the front
1:00:48
row singing every lyric. I promise you.
1:00:50
I just have a really adult job. Just have to be responsible in
1:00:55
the weekday. I just I'm not allowed a day
1:00:58
off. Do it in the half term holidays.
1:01:01
That's great, that works. Yeah, that's fine.
1:01:02
Why not in the half term holidays?
1:01:04
Why not? Yes, I love it.
1:01:08
