Saturday Night Chaos: McFly, Secret Parties & Busted in the Wild Ep 12 · Galaxy Crashers: The Busted and McFly Podcast

0:10
Hello and welcome. You're listening to Galaxy
0:13
Crashers, the Busted and McFly Podcast, the only podcast where
0:18
the 2 worlds of Busted and McFly collide.
0:20
Hosted by us 230 something mums who love nostalgia and all
0:25
things naughties. I'm Sham and I'm Tay, and on
0:29
this week's episode we are asking someone outside the off
0:32
licence to buy us a cheap bottle of vodka because we're heading
0:34
to the McFly house for a party on Saturday night.
0:38
We are indeed. And you are all invited to also
0:41
coming up, this or that Busted in the Wild this week, where
0:45
we're talking about Mr Charlie Simpson and of course, our song
0:48
of the Week. Yeah.
0:50
So how's your week been? Well, it's been a week, let's
0:54
just put it that way. In a week.
0:57
It's been a week, we have the lurgy again, so everybody is
1:01
ill. Molly has been super poorly.
1:04
She had a temperature of 39.2° last night, which ended up in
1:08
her sleeping in bed with me and Jack on the sofa and me just not
1:12
sleeping because obviously I was so worried about her and she was
1:15
just kicking me in the face all night pretty much.
1:17
That was lovely for Jack. Oh yeah, great.
1:20
Yeah. Although he had work today and
1:22
obviously I couldn't go to work because she's been poorly.
1:26
But we also had a massive, massive storm down here in, in
1:30
Cornwall in the tow of the country.
1:31
Oh, you did? Yeah.
1:33
Storm Giaretti or whatever it was called.
1:35
And it was absolutely friggin mental.
1:37
I'm not going to lie, I am 33 and I don't remember a storm
1:40
ever being that bad. We've had trees down there were
1:45
fires on electricity lines. The rugby club in my local town
1:49
has burnt, literally nearly burnt to the ground because it
1:51
caught fire with the electricity.
1:53
Oh my gosh my husband's business partner has had a tree fall on
1:58
his house and on his car and it's going to cost like 90 grand
2:02
to get it all fixed. Literally the the roads were
2:06
closed in every direction you couldn't get anywhere.
2:09
The people in Saint Ives were stuck in Saint Ives because
2:11
there was 2 roads to get out of St.
2:13
Ives and they were both blocked by trees and 55,000 homes were
2:17
without power and are still nearly 50,000 of them are still
2:21
without power now three days later.
2:23
So yeah, mental, How have they got power back?
2:27
That's literally so Molly's Nursery is one of those, one of
2:31
those places. So they're not opening until
2:32
tomorrow at 10 AM and the storm was on Thursday night.
2:36
So yeah, they've literally had no power.
2:38
But obviously a workplace like that, it's easy to close.
2:41
But imagine that being your house and you've got kids.
2:43
Like, yeah, I would not know how.
2:46
Like nothing. No TV, no electricity for
2:49
lights, no kettles, no fridge on, no freezer on, like nothing.
2:53
Everything you have in your fridge and freezer would be
2:56
completely ruined. And like people have had to
2:58
move, move out of their houses and move in with their parents
3:01
and stuff. And my friend actually gave
3:03
birth this week. Well, last week, yeah, because
3:07
it's the 12th now. So I think she gave, she thinks
3:10
she gave birth, birth on like the 7th.
3:12
And then then there was a storm. So she literally gave birth and
3:16
had to move in with her parents because they had no, they've got
3:19
no power in the house. Absolutely crazy, crazy.
3:23
So she's got a newborn baby and her nearly 3 year old in and her
3:27
husband in her house with her mum and dad.
3:31
So yeah, absolutely mental. But yeah, newborn bubble.
3:35
I know, imagine, but it's been a pretty crazy week.
3:39
And then we got ill. So, you know, just to top it all
3:41
off. But yeah, other than that,
3:43
nothing major. What about you?
3:45
Oh, nothing major. That's all the major.
3:51
Yeah, I know. My week's been fine.
3:52
We had the storm up here. But the worst thing that
3:56
happened to me was my bin lage flew away.
3:58
So. Oh, not the bin lage complain
4:00
about it. I'm not going to complain.
4:02
It's not the bin lid. Not the bin lid.
4:05
We even paid to put our number on that.
4:07
Jeez. Oh, gosh, don't, don't start.
4:10
Get the insurance company out, Shan.
4:13
Yeah. But apart from that, I've not
4:15
really been up to much this week because of I'm just trying to
4:18
get back in the swing of being at work again.
4:21
Yeah, just did my first week back, obviously after the
4:26
Christmas holidays and I feel like I'm starting a new job
4:29
again. It's horrible, isn't it?
4:32
Learn my way around again. Yeah.
4:33
And also they've put me in a different year group, so I'm
4:35
like willing to learn a whole new class again.
4:39
I'm having yeah, routines. You'll get used to it every
4:43
year, pretty much. I would say.
4:45
I was told today someone said to me, oh, you're back in year 2
4:50
again. And I was like, Oh yeah, yeah,
4:51
yeah, back in year 2. And she was like, well, when I
4:53
was ATA, it was every four weeks.
4:55
I was moved and I was changed around me.
4:58
Yeah, it's not, it's not necessarily that it's not always
5:01
that short amount of time, but you are likely to be moved
5:04
around the place. I don't mind.
5:07
It's just like the class I've been moved to.
5:10
They are absolutely wonderful. There's a couple of like
5:13
disruptors and they, every teacher has a different way of
5:18
dealing with disruptive children, as you would because
5:23
every teacher has a different way of teaching, but it's
5:25
learning the new teacher's way of, of dealing with it when
5:30
you've just trained yourself to learn how the old teacher did
5:34
it. Do you know what I mean?
5:35
Yeah. And as well, like that teacher
5:37
has only been with that group of children for like 3 months.
5:40
So that she's probably, I say she, she's learning as well,
5:43
probably still learning the children too.
5:45
So I reckon really it takes until like spring too, to
5:49
actually really understand what your class like is like and how
5:52
they tick, especially if you've got Sen and things like that to,
5:56
to deal with as well. It's so hard.
5:58
And I absolutely, I, I applaud TAS because moving around like
6:02
that is mental. Just like, honestly, month to
6:05
month, you don't know where they, where you're going to be.
6:07
Yeah. Feel like I'd just get my seat
6:09
warm and then I'm off again, off again.
6:11
Upsetting thing is, is that I've been moved.
6:14
I, well, I don't know if the listeners know this, but I was
6:17
in my daughter's class and now I'm not.
6:20
So I'm not getting any of my updates.
6:23
I'm not getting any of like before.
6:26
It would be like Mum, I know your teacher right now that
6:30
she's having a bit of a difficult 5 minutes, do you mind
6:32
coming just to give her a cuddle?
6:35
And I can't be there anymore. But I have been told that she's
6:37
actually been really, really well behaved this week.
6:40
Good. And do you know what?
6:41
I think I'm the bad juju. I don't think it's you, but I do
6:45
think it is good to have that separation.
6:48
Definitely. I had two girls in my class who
6:51
both had Tasmania at the school as well.
6:53
And not that they relied on their mums at all, like, but if
6:56
the mums came in you could see the distraction was there like
6:59
straight away. And that was even in the year 3.
7:01
So you know, I'm sure she'll, she'll do good.
7:04
I've got Autumn to start calling me Miss Johns and she's she's
7:08
not, she'll call me. She'll go mum and I'll ignore
7:10
her and she'll go Miss Johns. Yes, we do.
7:15
That's so funny. It's time for this or that.
7:21
Pretty self-explanatory. So we're going to get straight
7:23
to it. Yeah.
7:25
I feel like this is kind of a weekly feature.
7:26
It's so fun. I I found this one a bit tricky
7:30
because I wanted to get it like I wanted to relate it to the the
7:34
song this week because I try and relate it to the band every
7:38
week. Sorry.
7:40
I try and relate it to the band that we're we're doing because
7:43
obviously we do it bi weekly, but I wanted to relate it to the
7:49
song this week. I wanted to join both bands.
7:50
So do you know something really funny?
7:53
I've done exactly the same and we haven't even discussed that.
7:56
Oh no, we haven't. That's so funny.
7:59
How funny is that? And also this one might be
8:01
really awful because I did it myself and I didn't ask ChatGPT
8:05
this week because I thought, don't give the game away.
8:10
You normally let's charge GBT because we're 5 minutes before
8:13
recording. I'm like, shit, I haven't got
8:15
this, all that. Yeah, come on, AI, no judgement,
8:19
no judgement. It's got to help some way,
8:21
hasn't it? Exactly.
8:23
But this one might be awful because I did it myself.
8:26
But if it is, don't tell me. So this week, my this or that is
8:32
so you can have a night out, like a night out on the town, a
8:35
Saturday night out with Danny and Charlie.
8:38
But it is completely secret, and if you're packed, you have to
8:43
deny it ever happened if anyone ever asks you about it.
8:45
Nope, never happened. You cannot live with the joy of
8:50
having a fun night out with Charlie and Danny.
8:54
OR you have a night out with Matt and Dougie.
8:58
Obviously it's alcohol free, but you have full reigns to tell
9:03
everybody about it and show them photos.
9:06
But everyone thinks you're lying and the photo, they think the
9:09
photos are like AI edited or whatever.
9:13
That's actually so good. Yeah, I love it.
9:17
OK Oh, that's tricky. Or do you know what?
9:22
That's really hard because being on a night out with Danny and
9:25
Charlie and it being a secret could be actually really fun.
9:30
Very true. If nobody knows but us, what we
9:33
where are we going to go? What are we doing?
9:35
What are we up to? Chaos.
9:37
Are we taking? Yeah, chaos.
9:41
But to be on a night out with Matt and Dougie, as in just like
9:45
those two are just so much fun. I feel like they would be just
9:51
absolute chaos and they would be so much fun to be around.
9:54
I was just going to leave it like, oh, go on a night out with
9:57
Danny and Jolly and get so drunk or go on a night out with Matt
10:00
and Dougie alcohol free. But I would like I can do an
10:03
alcohol free night out anyway. So yeah, I am.
10:06
I'm the sober person on a night out most of the time.
10:10
Oh, that's so hard. I mean, I don't really care if
10:15
people think I'm lying because I know it happened.
10:18
So I think, and I genuinely, I would still love the secret
10:23
night out with Danny and Charlie, but I think Matt and
10:25
Dougie just know how to have fun, don't they?
10:27
Do you know what I mean? I think they would just, they
10:30
would just be. It would just be feral.
10:33
Yeah, 100%. And you know what?
10:35
My answer is exactly the same, but for a different reason.
10:37
Because I can't shut up. So I wouldn't be able to keep it
10:41
in secret. You can't keep my mouth shut.
10:45
To be fair, that secret. Yeah.
10:47
I don't know whether I could either.
10:48
I think there would be there. I would be the one leaking it.
10:51
I'd be telling you first of all, straight away, guess what just
10:54
happened. And then I would say it on the
10:56
podcast. Yeah, exactly.
10:58
And then every but all of our listeners would know which which
11:01
there's quite a few of you now. So, you know.
11:03
Yeah. It's not.
11:04
It's not just a couple of 5000 or something.
11:06
Yeah, literally. It's not just a couple of 100
11:08
people anymore. It's actually scary that this
11:10
many people listen to us. I'm actually, I feel sick, I
11:13
know and I've just all told you all that you can't trust me but
11:15
you can, you can. I promise.
11:19
I love it, I love it. That was really good considering
11:22
you've done this yourself and didn't ask online.
11:24
And do you want to know something?
11:26
Do you want to know I love it but do you also want to know a
11:29
secret? I wrote mine myself too.
11:31
Didn't use ChatGPT. My goodness, I'm so proud of us.
11:35
Is this the funniest thing ever? Because we always use some sort.
11:39
It's not always ChatGPT. Sometimes I use like Google and
11:41
like take things and then change them slightly.
11:43
But I usually have an idea in my head.
11:45
I did not have a clue today. And then I was like wanted to do
11:49
it based around the song and I was like, right, this will do
11:51
because mine barely makes any sense.
11:53
I'm not going to lie. OK, I'm so proud of this or that
12:00
party all night and not feel tired or your feet hurt once,
12:04
but wake up with the world's worst hangover the next day or
12:08
only be able to party for an hour and never have a hangover
12:12
again. So, so easy answer for you.
12:16
I reckon this is the this is the easiest answer ever.
12:20
Actually, no, no, no. It depends where we are.
12:22
Depends where we are. Because also on a normal.
12:25
Yeah, yeah. No, no, carry on.
12:27
On a normal, on a normal occasion, I would say easily the
12:31
second one because I'm petrified of having hangovers.
12:33
I just yeah, I can't. My pure anxiety have given yeah,
12:39
yeah, this like anxiety inducing.
12:41
But if we're in swift together and you bet I'm the last one on
12:44
the dance floor, literally. But I was thinking the same
12:47
thing when I wrote it. But also I've put in brackets
12:50
underneath answers now and answers as a young 20 year old
12:55
very different. That's what I've put in
12:56
brackets. I actually completely agree with
12:59
that because I would I as a 20 year old, I would have given
13:05
anything to be able to wear my shoes all night, but I never
13:08
did. Oh my God, no.
13:09
Me neither. Me and you were the ones walking
13:11
home holding our shoes every time.
13:13
Yeah, yeah. We we won the bus into the club
13:15
with our shoes on. The second we got our drink, the
13:17
shoes are off. Yeah, literally.
13:19
I think for me it was no shoes on.
13:22
It was literally within the hour.
13:23
I was like, what am I doing? And because you've been out for
13:26
drinks beforehand as well, and you've been in the bars and
13:29
you've walked up and down Park Street and you've walked from
13:31
the bloody bus stop or wherever, and your feet are killing you
13:34
already and you just want to have a nice time, actually.
13:37
That is until I found my boots that I wore.
13:42
I can't remember where they were from.
13:44
I think they were from Topshop. And they were.
13:46
Do you remember these boots, Shannon?
13:48
Because I wore them everywhere. They were like black platform
13:52
boots with like a big rubber chunky heel.
13:55
And the front was platformed as well.
13:57
And they had like black straps, like all the way up, like the up
14:00
to the ankle. Oh my God, they were the best
14:03
shoes. And I can remember the day I
14:05
threw them away was heartbreaking.
14:06
It was like saying goodbye to my former life.
14:09
Well, I have like a staple outfit.
14:11
Every time I went on a night out, it was a black skirt.
14:14
Yeah, like a little little skater skirt, a little black top
14:18
that was a little bit booby, but not too much.
14:20
Because I'm not a slut. That was my little because,
14:24
Because. Because I'm not being funny,
14:26
right? If you have no boob, or if you
14:28
have, like, less boob than me, you can wear anything you want.
14:32
But I have, which isn't hard. It's not hard to have less boob
14:36
than you. I have too much boob and I just
14:39
look like a whore. If I have a cleavage out, people
14:46
will come up to me and be like, how much do you know what I
14:49
actually shook? Do you know what I mean?
14:53
So I, I just give myself, I used to wear that black top that had
14:59
like had like a little bit of do you know, do you remember when
15:02
they were in fashion? It was like a little bit of like
15:05
shoelace or something in the bra in the, in the cleavage bit.
15:08
Do you know what I'm do you know the tops I'm talking about?
15:11
Yeah, obviously wasn't shoelace, but I think I just like a little
15:14
bit stringy there and some little black heels.
15:19
And that was my or you go to outfit.
15:22
It was always it was always tights because I was scared of
15:24
getting like some kind of foot disease.
15:28
So I always wore tights because I as if that thin, that really
15:32
thin piece of nylon has made so much difference to the foot
15:35
disease that you're going to get.
15:36
Hey, I'm telling you now, I'm 32 years old and never had foot
15:39
disease. Thank you very much disease.
15:42
I just want fungal toenail. Veruca foot disease.
15:53
Get a Veruca Thursday. Absolutely dead.
15:57
I can't believe that it's just the words whore and foot disease
16:01
in the same paragraph. Well, if you know me, if you
16:05
know anything about me, you know that those are my obviously my
16:08
everyday vocabulary. Well, there you go.
16:11
Well, I think I completely agree with you on the answer.
16:15
I think I think it depends on the situation.
16:17
Because actually I'd have a hangover for Swifter Geddon
16:21
because that's my favourite thing in the whole world.
16:23
Imagine they had a busted versus McFly night like that.
16:27
That would just I would be in my element.
16:29
That would be so much fun. But also actually, do you know
16:32
what? We always book a hotel for that
16:35
as well. So one of the biggest scares for
16:37
a hangover for me is being a parent at the same time.
16:40
I could do a hangover for Swift, Swift together because we always
16:43
have a hotel. Yeah.
16:45
And we're in in a Airbnb where we've got our own bathroom and
16:48
our own kitchen and we can just get up and do what we need to
16:50
do. Yeah.
16:51
Yeah, I get you. And again, my answer now, an
16:55
hour is enough. I'm going to lie.
16:58
An hour is enough. I'm ready for bed at 10, like I
17:01
really am on a night out. If I'm not in bed before
17:04
midnight, I'm pissed off. Yeah.
17:06
Give me. Do you know what?
17:08
To be honest, a good, a good, like Saturday night for me is
17:12
like a family party where I'm drinking with my family, like my
17:17
nice family, you know, all the good ones and then all the ones
17:21
that you don't use Once a year. Do you know what I mean?
17:23
Am I included? It's a good family.
17:26
Once a year. Yeah.
17:28
True. Yeah, exactly.
17:31
And then like a dance for an hour in their living room when
17:34
I've reached that like, level of drunk.
17:36
Yeah, I get it, I get it. Do you know what I mean?
17:38
Because then there's no heels, I'm dancing for an hour and
17:41
there's a sofa nearby. Do you know what I mean?
17:44
I can remember. Can you remember?
17:45
We had, I can't remember. Was it someone's birthday that
17:47
at Jack's mum's we had, yeah, her old house.
17:51
We had that massive party. Wasn't it like Boxing Day on,
17:57
but when COVID hit like the year COVID hit and they said you
18:03
could have them because I think was it like 15 people?
18:07
You were allowed a gathering of 15 people and we had 15 people
18:09
and every single one of us got COVID apart from your nan, which
18:14
is with, to be fair, the only person we're really glad didn't
18:16
get COVID because she would have been really high risk out of all
18:20
of us. And she like didn't even get
18:22
literally. Oh my gosh.
18:24
That was a great night though. I remember that.
18:26
I remember that Well, that's brilliant.
18:27
See how it's a musical in the kitchen?
18:29
Always. There's always High School
18:31
Musical. Always.
18:32
I mean, it's not a part of it involved.
18:34
There's a little bit of what is that musical?
18:38
The song that me and Louis sing every time is called something
18:41
like Cruising for a bruising and it's Disney Channel musical.
18:48
Bugsy Malone. No.
18:51
Is it Bugsy Malone? No.
18:54
It's from a Disney Channel musical with some boy who was
19:00
like blonde and a bit fit when I was that age.
19:06
Oh my goodness. I think he's called Ross Lynch
19:08
or something. Teen Beach Movie.
19:11
That's what it was called. Teen Beach Movie.
19:14
I never got on that bandwagon, but I remember seeing it be a
19:17
thing. Me and Kate would watch it all
19:20
the time and Louis would be like, I'm not watching this, but
19:22
like, you know, when like your granddad is watching Corrie over
19:25
the top of a newspaper? That was him.
19:28
He's doing that. Yeah, he was doing that.
19:31
He was watching teenage movie over a newspaper.
19:34
Well, why not? I mean, if there isn't a High
19:36
School Musical involved, it isn't a party in my in my eyes.
19:39
Well, there we go. So you all know that we are
19:44
very, very big musical theatre nerds and absolutely love
19:47
talking about musicals as much as we can on the podcast without
19:50
too many people noticing. Well, this week's Busted in the
19:55
Wild is another is another musical theatre mention.
20:00
Yes, the one in her name. Mr Charlie Simpson was actually
20:04
part of War of the World's musical.
20:06
In the 2025 arena tour, he joined the cast playing the role
20:11
of The Sun Thoughts of the journalist, which is a key
20:14
narrator role in the show. Massive character.
20:18
Like I didn't realise until I looked into this musical because
20:21
this is one of the I haven't seen this musical and we were
20:23
just talking before we started recording.
20:25
Neither of us are like overly familiar with it.
20:27
We know the movie War of the Worlds, but we don't know the
20:31
music. Shout out to tom-tom Hiddleston
20:35
then. But I meant Tom Cruise.
20:37
Too many Toms. Tom Cruise.
20:39
There's too many dubs, too many many dubs, too many dubs.
20:44
Anyway, I was looking into this character, the song Thoughts of
20:48
the Journalist, which is a very interesting character name, but
20:51
it's quite a an extra kind of show, isn't it?
20:53
And this character was famously played by Justin Hayward on the
20:58
original album. But Charlie has taken on that
21:02
role and massive songs like The Eve of the War and Forever
21:06
Autumn, which I listened to earlier and is actually really
21:08
good. And he portrays the character's
21:10
perspective on humanity's plight against the Martians.
21:14
It's very alien involved a role that he yes, very, very a role
21:20
that he took on as a challenge, he said in an interview.
21:23
So it's pretty cool role for him.
21:26
The role was also played by our very own Mr Gary Barlow and also
21:31
Brian McFadden from Westlife. So some big names there that
21:34
have played this role. Yeah.
21:36
Wow. Gosh.
21:38
Takes me back. That does takes me right back.
21:40
Although I will say we were just looking at some articles.
21:44
And in his production was also Max George from The Wanted and
21:50
Raul Reynolds from and Shikari, which is crazy.
21:53
Like, that was a big, big show for like, like famous people.
21:59
Yeah, yeah. And there's been some sort of,
22:02
we've had a look at when it was running and there's been a
22:04
little bit of misinformation as to, we couldn't actually get the
22:07
exact dates, but it looks like it ran between sort of March and
22:11
April last year. Also, there was some talk about
22:14
there being some shows in October on a little tour or a
22:16
show. But we know that Charlie played
22:18
this role and we know that he really enjoyed it.
22:21
We've watched an interview, so it's pretty cool.
22:23
Now we've brought Charlie up a couple of times.
22:25
It's we're on episode 12. I know he's been McFly and
22:29
Busted in the Wilds. We've not done loads of Charlie,
22:32
so it's cool to talk about him a little bit.
22:34
And I just want to give him an honourable mention because my
22:38
God has that man got a lot going on.
22:40
Honestly, he left Busted the first time around because he
22:44
wanted to focus on one thing. He didn't want to do too much
22:48
stuff. And now he's fucking.
22:49
He's all over the shop. Literally, I'm in the middle of
22:52
the crisis. It's crazy because obviously he
22:55
was doing this 2025. He was doing the tour 2025 as
22:59
well. We know he's in Five star.
23:01
We know that there's all of the president's stuff that's been
23:04
going on. That shout out to President, Big
23:07
shout out to President. Big President fan over here.
23:10
Yes, I know you are we and actually we talked briefly
23:14
before we started recording. I found a photo in the Daily
23:17
Mail of Charlie and a couple of the the other band members of
23:22
president at the airport in Sydney, Australia before their
23:25
shows in Sydney, Australia. And they weren't covering their
23:29
identity very well, which we know president is Bigfoot or
23:33
they wear masks. They don't want their their
23:35
faces to be revealed. However, they were at Sydney
23:38
Airport, one of the most, you know, largest, busiest airports
23:42
in the world with suitcases and guitar cases with the president
23:48
flag logo on the actual suitcase.
23:51
So they didn't do a very good job of hiding it.
23:53
Literally you're a actual idiot. Can we can I say that you're a
23:58
whole thing idiot? The whole thing is not being
24:01
found out and you're just there with, you know, the logo and
24:04
yeah, but you know, it is. How about a black guitar case?
24:09
He's yeah, true. He probably gave up as well
24:11
because there were so many people that knew it was him
24:13
anyway. He probably just thought, fuck
24:15
this, I'm giving in because it is.
24:18
Yeah, exactly. We know it is.
24:20
So, you know, he is a very, very busy guy.
24:23
He's got so much going on. And like, like you said, then I
24:26
thought that was quite interesting what you said about
24:28
he left Busted to focus on one thing, and here he is focusing
24:32
on like 15 different things all at once.
24:34
So Mask singing, obviously not that hard.
24:37
Yeah. Mask singer.
24:38
Yeah, I remember loads going on. Oh, I love massing it so much.
24:42
Literally, I need to start. I need to rewatch some of the
24:45
series that I missed because I've only caught like a few of
24:47
the series that I've only watched, like the ones that I
24:50
wanted to watch, if that makes sense.
24:53
The ones that I knew. Yeah, I'm not.
24:56
So I like it when I can get into it, but I never actually watch
24:59
it when it's on. Yeah, I'm I'm more of like a
25:02
catch up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw a couple
25:05
like it's I'll see clips on TikTok and if I can guess the
25:10
singer, I'm like, OK, I'm invested.
25:13
Yeah, I get that. Totally, totally get that.
25:17
It's a good it's a good show. And the voice starts again soon,
25:19
doesn't it, with Tom and Danny? Is that this month?
25:22
I think so. I know they were I know they
25:24
were recording it a while ago, but I don't watch the voice
25:26
either. I don't either.
25:28
But telly person with Tom and Danny being on it, I feel like I
25:32
might make a bit more of an effort to catch up with it.
25:36
I don't know. Are they the voice or are they
25:38
the voice kids? No, they're the voice.
25:41
They do the actual voice now, don't they?
25:43
Oh, I don't know. I literally I don't want you.
25:45
I tell you what I watch on TVI watch traitors.
25:49
I love traitors. Everything else I watch on
25:52
Netflix or Amazon Prime or Disney.
25:55
We absolutely love traders in this house.
25:57
We've just binged watched a few episodes because it's it's very
26:01
addictive, isn't it? And then we're like, oh, we want
26:03
to watch the next one, but we can't because we know that we've
26:05
got to wait another day and whatnot.
26:07
I know I'm obsessed with it. And I loved their new like
26:09
introduction of the red. It was very, very clever.
26:14
Very, very clever. Also, just putting it a quick
26:17
note out. I'm sorry if anybody can hear my
26:19
child crying. She's not well.
26:21
And her daddy is trying to get her to go to bed.
26:24
And it's, it's been a, a rough hour by the sounds of it.
26:29
So yeah, we, we talked about, we talked about Charlie, We've
26:32
talked about the things that he's been doing.
26:33
And because we're on a sort of musical theme, we thought we
26:36
just sort of branch out Busted, Slash, McFly in the Wild and
26:39
talk a little bit about the other musical credits of the
26:43
bands, because there are quite a few.
26:47
So we're starting with Tom, because obviously Tom is
26:50
everywhere at the moment for Paddington and we know that it's
26:54
probably one of his biggest works.
26:55
We know that that that's a massive thing for him.
26:57
But obviously Tom has also done the Christmasaurus.
27:00
Which did you see, the Christmasaurus?
27:03
No, I didn't. I really wanted to get tickets
27:06
to go and see it. I know.
27:07
Was it? It was in Plymouth, I think.
27:09
I think it might have come down a little bit further this time.
27:12
Yeah. I haven't seen the Christmas
27:14
stories. I have got read the book, but I
27:16
haven't haven't seen it. Yeah, I've.
27:19
And we found out today that there's a Creekers musical as
27:22
well, which is amazing. Yeah.
27:25
And it was really funny. I was in a supply on a supply
27:27
job couple weeks ago before Christmas and in a classroom and
27:30
there were three children all reading the Creekers.
27:32
And I was like, I just went over and I was like, it's one of my
27:34
favourite authors. Well done, well done.
27:37
Good book in it. Good book.
27:39
So cool. So.
27:40
Yeah, so it's just nice to see that young kids, literally they
27:43
were like year three. We're reading the Creekers.
27:45
So it's nice that they branching into to that.
27:50
And then obviously we've got our our Matty boy.
27:52
Do you want to tell everybody a few of the the credits for his
27:57
musical life? Yeah, he was in he's been in
28:00
Wicked, Little Shop, Little Shop of Horrors.
28:05
He was. In the Shop of Horrors.
28:09
Excited Footloose Waitress, my personal favourite.
28:14
And obviously Cabaret, yes. So that's great.
28:19
Matt is definitely, yeah, he's definitely the musical guy out
28:22
of all of them. He's definitely the musical guy,
28:24
isn't he? And obviously we know that Matt
28:26
starred in EastEnders as well as Stacey Branning's boyfriend.
28:32
Because also actually, I tell a lot.
28:33
I did tell a bit of a white lie there because the other TV show
28:37
I watch on telly is Eastern. Such a loser.
28:42
It's my 30 minutes. It's my little timer.
28:44
When I'm getting ready in the morning for work, I give myself
28:48
an episode of EastEnders to get ready to.
28:50
Well, everybody's allowed their their little niche drug on the
28:55
side. Yeah.
28:57
Guilty, guilty pleasure. I love it.
29:01
And then if we talk about James, Mr. James Bourne, Oh yeah, my
29:05
main man. Yes, obviously there was
29:07
Louisville. But I also found out that though
29:09
he was part of another writing the music for another musical
29:12
called Out there, which is a country style musical by James
29:17
Bone and another guy called Elliot Davis where it tells a
29:21
three generation story about family and dreams of space,
29:25
notably featuring a grandfather's Apollo mission
29:28
connection. So can I just say that is so
29:33
James Bourne? Isn't it just I was just about
29:35
to say it is so him. It's unreal.
29:37
It just screams like honestly a little space boy, like future
29:42
boy born, you know, James. I feel like I'm really missing
29:47
James's presence at the moment because I did some searching
29:50
earlier like what is James Bourne like doing and how is
29:53
James Bourne? And there's nothing, there's
29:54
literally nothing about him anywhere.
29:56
He hasn't posted on his Instagram since before the tour
30:00
when he posted to say that he wasn't going to be on the tour.
30:02
And I haven't seen anything from him anywhere.
30:06
And I'm just so sad. I miss him so much.
30:09
You know, it's really like, it's actually almost we're we're like
30:13
voting on worrying. Yeah, it is scary.
30:15
And it says, you know, that it's a really serious, serious
30:18
illness that he's dealing with. But like, nobody knows.
30:21
So obviously you're not listening, James.
30:24
But if by some chance you stroll, you stroll across this
30:28
on Spotify, we love you. We we miss you.
30:30
We hope you're well. But yeah, James has done a few
30:34
musical things. And then obviously we've got
30:35
Charlie with now doing or having done last year, War of the
30:38
Worlds. So yeah, we wanted to and we
30:41
put, I put a little bit of a note at the end of this and it
30:44
was Danny and Harry and Dougie. You need to get going, please.
30:47
And then Shannon was like, why don't we Dreamcast them?
30:50
And we spent maybe 25 minutes before this podcast when we were
30:53
going to just get on with it tonight because I'm not feeling
30:56
great. And my daughter's I'll talking
30:57
about our dreamcasting for everybody else in McFly.
31:02
Yes. So shall we go through a few?
31:04
Do you want to do your Danny first?
31:07
Yes, so I see Danny as very ladies choice Link Larkin from
31:14
Hairspray ladies. I just see him with his little
31:18
quiff and his little curly bit singing a song about his penis.
31:23
It's the hip movements he does the the little jivy hips.
31:29
I'm doing them not that we're being recorded, but I'm doing
31:31
the jivey hits right now. You can imagine what I look
31:34
like. Like I see him singing that song
31:36
and I think his voice like the raspy tones would suit it.
31:40
And I also have written down Marius from Les Mis, but hear me
31:43
out. Not like Eddie Redmayne Marius,
31:47
like I feel, I feel his voice would really suit the songs that
31:53
Marius sings. Yeah.
31:55
He could make them a bit like raspy and powerful.
31:58
Yeah, I know he's a bit old for both of those things that I've
32:02
just that I've given, but I just think that he would smash
32:08
Marius's songs out the park. He would, to be fair.
32:11
I could hear him seeing 24601. Yes.
32:14
Like, I just, I think his voice, he's got a proper powerhouse
32:18
voice when he wants to use it, would be so good in Les Mis
32:22
somewhere. And I chose Marius because, you
32:25
know, he's notoriously the best looking character.
32:28
PHIT fit. Yeah, but he could be anyone.
32:33
Yeah, name is, really. But yeah.
32:35
Link Larkin from Hesburn. I love that.
32:38
Five years younger, 10 years. I love it.
32:40
I mean, we everybody plays younger, don't they?
32:43
In musicals. There we go.
32:46
So there's that I I chose I chose 3, but I'm going to I'm
32:50
going to explain them because my first and the thing, the one
32:54
that I imagine him in most is we were Rock You because of his
32:57
rocky voice and his style. I just think he would play
33:00
Galileo absolutely amazingly and some incredible songs for him to
33:04
sing. Obviously, because we were Rock
33:06
You is queen and we all know that Danny loves Queen and you
33:10
know all of that. I would love to see him play
33:12
Fiero from wicked. However, I think that's just my
33:16
my heart longing to see him sing as long as you're mine.
33:19
I was just about to say, you just want to see him in that
33:21
scene, Do you? I don't really feel like I don't
33:24
think he would be the best Fiero choice, but I just would love,
33:28
love to see him sing that song. Obviously with me playing
33:32
alphabet well, dancing through life.
33:34
That would be so good. See, that's what I saw.
33:37
Like when I thought about him playing Fiero, I saw him like
33:40
the cheeky, you know, where he does the Fiero to a lot winky
33:44
country. You know, I could just imagine
33:48
him doing that. And then I like had like a
33:52
proper comedic like brain where I pictured him in I pictured him
33:59
playing Mr Schneebly in School of Rock Nibbler.
34:04
No, he'd smash it because he's so funny.
34:07
But he he is so talented. Mr Sneak.
34:09
Mr Mr Schneebly is so talented. Like if you think about Jack
34:13
Black in the film, like Jack Black Tenacious D, it's that
34:16
funny comedic pop rock kind of style.
34:19
You know, it's like a bit silly and a bit like stupid in in the
34:22
film that I think he really would play a good Mr Schneebly.
34:27
Yeah, he would. He just needs to be a little bit
34:30
bit, little bit more not attractive, if that makes sense.
34:34
No, I think it would work attractive as well because he
34:37
just needs to be a little bit stupid, actually.
34:40
Not stupid. A little bit, like not on the
34:44
money. Do you know what I mean?
34:45
Mrs Schneeb is not an idiot. But no, he's just a layabout,
34:48
isn't he? Common sense.
34:50
Yeah. Yeah, he's a bit of a layabout.
34:52
Yeah, I get that. I think he'd be really good.
34:54
OK, go on then. Let's go to Harry for you.
34:58
OK. So I've got 2 for Harry as well.
35:00
I've got Jack from Newsies. I just think he'd smash that,
35:04
like, hanging off the rigs. Brilliant.
35:07
Yeah. Definitely.
35:08
And Dancy as well. It's very.
35:10
Yeah, but my big, my big one. I really think that this role is
35:16
so him. Johnny Castle and Dirty Dancing.
35:21
Oh, my goodness. Just imagine him with the jeans
35:24
and the black top. Oh, my Lord, the little Venus.
35:27
Just a little bit. Yeah, just a little bit too
35:30
tight. Oh, and the quiff and the quiff.
35:34
Yeah. And I'll be.
35:36
I'll be What? You can hear that.
35:38
I can hear the mood, the music in the background.
35:40
Doom doom when they're in The Dirty dancing hall and they're
35:46
like doing the smooth jazz is playing.
35:49
So here is here's a little fact about me, which I'll probably, I
35:52
mean, I'm probably not very popular on this podcast for my
35:55
ratings anyway, but I do not like Dirty Dancing at all.
36:01
Is that my least favourite like chick flicky movie?
36:05
However, Harry Judd was playing Johnny Castle.
36:09
You top ten, You can put me in that corner, do you know what I
36:12
mean? I will be.
36:14
I'll be baby in the corner. I'll carry the bloody
36:16
watermelon. Exactly.
36:21
I love it. That's a great that was a great
36:23
cast. Fair play.
36:24
I think Harry would play a good link in Hairspray because of the
36:28
dancing Sly. But I also think I think be
36:33
again, because I picture Harry as the dancer and not the
36:35
singer. I also saw him as like a West
36:38
Side Story kind of guy. I could see him doing, you know,
36:41
the barrel rolls that The Jets do when they're singing the
36:44
song. I think he would be a really
36:46
good Tony. And I feel like, yeah, I feel
36:50
like he could be get a bit emotional.
36:52
I feel like Harry's not afraid to get a bit emotional.
36:55
Definitely. And then like my funny role for
36:57
him would be Brad in Rocky Horror.
37:00
I love that. But then again, it's like it's
37:03
because it's he's a bit wooden and he's a bit like, you know,
37:05
funny and like he's quite posh in the way he speaks and stuff.
37:09
I think like physicality he would work well, but it's not
37:12
very dancy part and I don't know I can see to Harry going full
37:15
drag, you know, do you know what Frank and fur I I would die.
37:21
Oh my God, imagine any of these boys playing Frankfurt, my Lord
37:24
above my sexuality would just be out the window.
37:28
I can see how I go. My brain would be even more
37:30
confused than when I looked at Megan Fox and Transformers at
37:33
the age of like 17. I was like, huh, sorry, what's
37:37
happening? The whole Ruby Rose in orange is
37:42
the new black. Orange is the New Black.
37:45
So true. So true.
37:50
Literally Harry Jordan fishnets. OK, OK.
37:57
And then Dougie. Go on then give us give us your
37:59
Dougie, because your Dougie was a good one.
38:02
Yeah, I think Dougie would play a really good comedic role.
38:06
So I've gone waitress Ogie. I can hear him singing Ogie
38:13
songs so, so much. I think he would play the best
38:19
Ogie ever. I I I love you like a table.
38:24
Like I think he would just be so good.
38:29
But also Sweeney from Sweeney Todd.
38:31
I really see it, the long hair. I see him smashing it out the
38:36
park like standard, standard look with the eyeliner as well.
38:41
Or the eyeliner. Yeah, the little white streak in
38:45
his hair. And like the love me a bit of
38:47
emo. Give me emo Dougie any day of
38:49
the week. Oh my God, I would pay.
38:51
You can be like I'm a vegetarian, but you can put cat
38:53
in my pie if you want. Cat in my pie.
39:00
Lately all the neighbours cats have disappeared.
39:06
What does Mrs Lovett say? What, of course, Enterprise
39:13
popping pussies into pies. Yes.
39:18
I've heard that. Then when you said thank you,
39:20
put cat in my pie. Yeah, literally.
39:23
Oh, Lord of Dougie. Sweeney Todd or Ogie?
39:27
Very different, but very, very Dougie.
39:31
I see him proper funny. I see him.
39:34
I can't see him as like romantic, like sing to me
39:37
Dougie. I can see him as master of the
39:40
house. Thenardier tinity.
39:42
I can never say his name. Thenardier.
39:44
I think that's his name. And I could also see him in
39:48
Peter Pan playing like Captain Hook or maybe even like Mr Smee.
39:53
Oh my goodness, I just, yes, that would be like my #1 like if
39:58
I was told now to go to a pirate night like we did at Falmouth
40:01
University, I'd probably go as Mr Smee now.
40:04
Oh my God, I, I, my, my nickname at school was Smee.
40:08
I'm not even joking. He used to call me Smee.
40:10
My best friend used to call me Smee.
40:13
I think he would be really good in finding Neverland as I was
40:18
just the guy that plays Captain Hook because he could also play
40:21
the the the real life Captain Hook version if.
40:25
You know, JM Barry writes about a specific person, doesn't he?
40:28
I think he would be really good as him, but I think he would be
40:31
a really good Captain Hook. It's the pirate thing.
40:34
I'm still loving Dougie's pirate phase.
40:36
I have not let it go. I don't think I ever will.
40:40
Do you think, do you think Danny would make a good JM Barry?
40:45
Oh, he would make a good JM Barry.
40:49
Oh my God, Can you imagine him singing?
40:52
No, I don't want to. I don't want to.
40:54
I don't want to. I won't go to bed.
40:55
Nothing can explain just what you mean to me.
40:58
I would die. I would die dead.
41:01
I'd actually die dead. I have died dead.
41:05
Oh my God. So good.
41:07
I didn't even think about him. And that.
41:09
That's such a good musical as well.
41:11
Oh my Lord. Above anyway.
41:15
Yeah, so underrated. Actually one of my top five
41:17
musicals of all time. Easily.
41:20
Absolutely. Oh, sham.
41:22
Words cannot explain my love for Finding Neverland.
41:24
Nobody will ever be able to take that musical out of my life
41:27
because I sing Sylvia's Lullaby to my daughter nearly every
41:31
night when she asks for it now because she she, I used to sing
41:34
it to her every night. About a month ago, she sort of
41:37
just started saying bed Mama. And I'm like, oh, I Can't Sing
41:40
to you if you want to go to bed, but I know it will come back
41:43
every night. And she says mountain, we sing
41:45
Hushabye, mountain, mountain. And we sing Lullaby, which is
41:48
Sylvia's lullaby from Finding Neverland.
41:50
So never I sing this song to my kids that just goes a bit like
41:53
this. Shut the fuck up and go to bed,
41:56
please. Oh, that's a great one.
42:03
Shut the fuck up. I want to go and sleep.
42:11
It's time for Song of the Week. It is indeed.
42:15
And this week we are talking all things forbidden, house parties,
42:19
bottles of Lamborini and telling your mum you're staying at your
42:21
mate's house when you're actually dying in a field of
42:23
alcohol poisoning which has happened.
42:28
OK, let's get to it. Right?
42:30
What are your ratings and what do you like and dislike?
42:33
OK, Saturday night is actually, I quite like it.
42:40
OK, I do quite like it. And I feel like it's almost like
42:44
an unpopular opinion because every time I bring this song up
42:48
to people, they're like, I don't know it, I don't know it or
42:51
they're like, oh God, Saturday night really?
42:53
Because there's another. Is it?
42:55
Is there a Friday night? I think there's a Friday night
42:58
is also brilliant. Yes.
43:00
But I think there's like a toss up between the two.
43:03
I love this song. I think it's because there's a
43:07
storytelling element which we love and you know, you know, if
43:10
you guys know us at all now, you know that we love a song that
43:13
tells a story. Big Taylor Swift fans, we like
43:16
that and that this is, even though it's stupid and it is
43:20
funny, it does tell a story. And I'm like, I love it.
43:23
I picture it in my head. They were so young when they
43:26
wrote this. They were obviously like 1718
43:28
years old because literally like this is when it came out and
43:31
they were like really young. I am very disappointed that
43:35
there's no music video. I feel like this would have
43:38
been, but they were so young. Yeah.
43:41
What do they do? I think it's just.
43:44
I genuinely think it's one of the best songs on the album.
43:47
Yes, Shannon, I love that. No, not the, but I love that for
43:52
you because you're always like, Oh yeah, it's a 5.
43:54
Fuck off, not a 5. So yeah, I'm right.
43:57
I'm rating Saturday night like 7 1/2, maybe 8.
44:00
I think I'm. I'm around that mark, that sort
44:03
of mark. Yeah, definitely.
44:04
What are you and probably like an 8.5.
44:09
OK, cool. Wow, Big no, I love it.
44:11
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm in the I'm in the top end.
44:14
I'm in the top half. Love it.
44:16
I love it. I really, really like it.
44:18
It's got very like beach Boise, Yeah, surfer babe kind of feel
44:24
to it. Yeah, It's so fun.
44:28
Like there is nothing depressing or not that I'm saying
44:32
depressing is bad. Sometimes depressing songs are
44:34
really good. My favourite songs, most of them
44:37
are depressing, but it's just such a feel good, fun like
44:43
hilarious song where you can picture yourself or like, do you
44:48
know what it reminds me of? Cheaper by the Dozen.
44:51
Oh, I love that film. That was literally when I was
44:55
younger. Yeah.
44:56
It's that fast-paced energy, isn't it?
44:58
Where like there's a lot going on?
45:00
Yes. I just think it's, I just think
45:03
it's brilliant, genuinely. And I think it's got really
45:06
smart, very questionable nowadays, but very smart lyrics.
45:10
Well, that was my next point. Shall we move on to the lyrics?
45:13
Because I've copied and pasted a few and I've put some
45:16
interesting bold points next to it so that we could talk about
45:20
them as we go. The first bit, we've got every
45:24
girl in stool, the deep end of the pool if you want a ticket to
45:27
bring your trucks. OK, first of all, we live in the
45:31
UK. It's fucking freezing.
45:33
Yeah. And also, who has got a pool
45:35
that's got a deep? Who's got a swimming pool?
45:36
Like, how many friends have you got with a swimming pool?
45:38
Sorry. No, no, I I genuinely have got
45:41
one friend. Well, just one friends.
45:44
They live together with a swimming pool.
45:45
Yeah, they live together. It's one house.
45:47
Why haven't I been invited? They are like friends of me
45:54
being an adult now, not being being a teenager, because when I
45:56
was a teenager, it was paddling pool or like, exactly.
45:59
Nobody had a pool. We all had to dip your feet in.
46:03
Yeah. And if you were swish, you had
46:05
one of those ones that were held up by poles.
46:07
Yes. That you didn't have to blow up.
46:09
Like, there was no deep end. It was all level unless you
46:13
lived on a hill, literally. Who were they friends with at
46:16
17? Because I feel like we've missed
46:17
out the next bit when we start to dim the lights.
46:22
Got to find a girl you like and you better hope she's already
46:26
drunk. I've put in brackets acceptable
46:29
by today's standards. Question mark?
46:31
Exclamation mark. Because probably not right?
46:36
I read this when I, like, interpreted this as I was
46:40
younger as like, you're not very attractive.
46:42
So she'll only find you attractive if you're drunk.
46:45
Yeah. OK.
46:46
She's drunk. Could be.
46:48
Could be that. Could be that.
46:49
I didn't read it like that. I'm.
46:51
Yeah. I'm like, you want her to be
46:53
drunk so that she's more more likely to go home with you.
46:56
Yeah. Or go to behind the shed because
46:59
apparently that's where everything's going on, which is
47:02
the next part I want to talk about.
47:05
I've put. And if it's going to your head,
47:07
get behind the garden shed. It's where everybody goes to get
47:11
laid. First of all, I've put.
47:13
WTF is this about? Why would you want to go there
47:17
if it's going to your head? Are you feeling sick?
47:20
What does this mean, question mark?
47:23
Because if it's going to your head, I feel like that's like,
47:26
if you're too drunk and you feel a bit sick, go to the shed.
47:30
But when you get to the shed, it's not where people are being
47:32
sick, it's where everybody's fucking.
47:36
It could be like, it couldn't. It might not be the alcohol.
47:39
It might be like, oh, she likes me and it's going to my head
47:42
quickly before she doesn't like me.
47:43
Do you know what I mean? OK, so it's like, if, if this is
47:47
all going to your head because you've got a girl that you like,
47:50
not the alcohol. OK, that makes more sense.
47:52
That makes more sense. Although, you know, still why
47:55
don't go to don't go behind the shirt or the line that says or
47:59
if you take it to a nice bedroom, plenty in the rear.
48:02
No one here to check if you're underage.
48:04
I put that in the song. So funny because it's so true.
48:10
Yeah, true. So true.
48:11
So the reason I pulled these lyrics out, and I know you did
48:14
the same with that last one, is because we've got some banging
48:17
stories to tell and we have put a little Instagram post out as
48:24
well for your stories, which we're hoping we'll get a few
48:27
over. I've only posted it today and
48:29
we're recording today, so it was a bit late in my head to be
48:32
thinking about it. But if you do want to send in
48:34
your stories after you've heard this or if you've seen it on our
48:36
Instagram, please do because we'd still would like to share
48:38
some of them. I, I've written so many down
48:44
that we could be here all night. So we need to limit this to no
48:47
more than like 5 minutes because this is already a 50 minute
48:49
episode. We do this every time.
48:53
So some of my favourite memories I'm going to just bullet point
48:57
them of parties, Saturday nights, that sort of thing.
49:02
My parents used to go away quite a lot when I was in like
49:06
secondary school and when I was at college.
49:09
So when I first started college, my parents and my grandparents
49:13
all went away at the same time, literally, and just left me a 17
49:18
year old with, you know, access to to two pretty big houses.
49:24
So I had a party, not small. Yeah.
49:27
Well, I had a party in my house, which is evidently the house
49:30
that I live in now. So I still have these memories
49:33
because I've moved back into this house as an adult because
49:36
it's a family house. They were quite lucky.
49:39
I have very vivid memories of this night.
49:41
I have vivid memories of being sick in the sink in the kitchen
49:45
and my boyfriend at the time having a beer and him holding my
49:49
hair back and then drinking his beer while I was being sick.
49:52
And I was so pissed off he was drinking his beer that I took it
49:55
off him and poured it down the sink.
49:56
And I was like, how can you be drinking beer while I'm being
49:58
sick? That's so.
49:59
And that's why you're an ex young man.
50:01
I know, so funny. Definitely isn't.
50:04
He broke up with me. But Boo, I can tell people.
50:09
No, no, I can remember somebody sleeping on the stairs.
50:13
Literally, they fell asleep on the stairs.
50:15
His name was Freddie. And the funniest thing is he
50:17
actually became my postman a few weeks ago.
50:20
Wow. To that house.
50:22
He fell asleep on my stairs. Yeah.
50:23
I remember two people getting it on in a sleeping bag in my
50:27
living room, where there were also other people sleeping.
50:30
Wow. And I remember there being me
50:33
saying to everybody please do not post anything on Facebook
50:36
because Facebook was massive at the time and I didn't want my
50:39
mum to see anything. And we did really, really well.
50:41
Nobody posted anything for ages. And then literally like a year
50:45
later, it must have come up on someone's like memory or
50:48
something because they posted it and tagged me and the picture
50:55
was of my living room. But it was like people in my
50:58
living room and underneath my mum commented saying is this my
51:02
living room? I think.
51:03
Question. Mark she never brought it up.
51:08
It was never discussed. I think she just accepted that
51:11
it had happened. There were about 30 people in my
51:15
house that night. It was chaos, but it was fun.
51:20
Well, let's put it that way. So yeah, that's probably one of
51:23
my favourite memories. Do you want to share one of
51:24
yours? We'll sort of go tit for tat
51:26
here and there and see if we currently we can get through in
51:28
5 minutes. OK.
51:30
Well, one that I think of when I lived in Bristol, my friend
51:34
Sarah used to visit me like once or twice a month and she was, so
51:39
I was at uni in Bristol obviously with you and she went
51:42
to uni in Warsaw. But she was like, she was like
51:46
the very sweet girl when I met her and she went to university
51:49
and she turned wild. And so my nights out with her a
51:52
little bit. Yeah.
51:54
My nights out with her were all a little bit like sporadic.
51:57
I just like, I just followed her lead because I was like, you're
52:00
a professional at this point. You're a pro.
52:03
Yeah, you're a pro. So.
52:05
But also, as you know, Taylor, I cannot be trusted with anything
52:09
on a night out. So I gave give her all my stuff
52:11
to put in her bag, which I still do now as a 32 year old when we
52:15
don't really drink. But we went to Thecla because we
52:20
both like that kind of music. And I had to walk from Thecla
52:27
all the way back to my house. So if you know Bristol, I lived
52:29
in Southmead. So really, yeah, at like 2:00 in
52:35
the morning. I remember because she had all
52:37
my stuff. Because it turns out like I lost
52:40
her completely in this nightclub and I just, I don't know what
52:43
brought it upon me, but I was like, that's fine.
52:45
I'll just walk home and I'll leave my friend in this
52:48
nightclub. I don't know where she is.
52:50
That's fine. Walked all the way home.
52:52
Turns out she met some random men and went to the house for
52:56
like drinks, but didn't have my address so couldn't have come
52:59
back to me so stayed over. And it's the, it was the
53:04
weirdest thing like how did we trust people?
53:06
How do we just trust they weren't murderers like that?
53:08
Literally. It's scary, isn't it?
53:11
Yeah. And I I remember vividly waking
53:13
up on the sofa because I was waiting for her to come home.
53:16
I don't know. Yeah.
53:17
How I thought she would come home.
53:19
I guess you didn't know where you are.
53:21
No, I remember waking up the next morning in a pile of, like,
53:25
noodle vomit with my phone right in the middle of the vomit.
53:30
And my housemate at the time walked downstairs, propped a cup
53:33
of tea in front of me and called me a layabout and walked off a
53:38
so grim noodle vomit noodle like Chinese noodle vomit as well.
53:44
So like really minging and stinky.
53:48
And I just I think of that one when I, when I was thinking,
53:52
thinking about what to say, I was thinking of that one because
53:54
like, how mad is it that we just trusted these random group of
53:57
men that we never met? So strange.
54:00
Well, not we she did. But like I was just OK with the
54:03
fact that she just went home with these group of men.
54:05
Very much didn't live in Bristol.
54:07
This happened to Jack like the your friend of this situation in
54:12
that he was visiting his friend in Plymouth and then his friend
54:16
just disappeared and Jack literally had to sleep at the
54:19
train station on a bench and wait for a train at like 5:00 in
54:23
the morning. And he got on a train, went to
54:25
go back to his mum's because his mum live in Torquay, which is,
54:28
you know, obviously still a while away from Plymouth and and
54:32
then had to go back the next day because he didn't know where.
54:35
He didn't have his address or anything.
54:36
His battery had died on his phone.
54:38
So he couldn't even like call anybody to say, can you help?
54:43
Literally he was just stuck in Plymouth on train station, at
54:45
the train station like all night on his own.
54:47
Isn't it? Isn't it mad the things that we
54:49
just do when we're drunk, like the things that we sow and trust
54:52
and do And like, I would never, I don't think I'm, yeah, no, I'm
54:57
not that kind of person. I, I genuinely, I'm the mum on a
55:00
night out and I feel like I always have been obviously at
55:03
uni and like, when I was a bit younger, I probably was a bit
55:05
more irresponsible. But I, I do feel like I've, I
55:10
don't like being that drunks that other people have to look
55:13
after me. I hate that.
55:15
I hate being looked after and it makes me feel like awful and
55:19
yeah, I get really emotional. I.
55:22
Get. Really.
55:22
And I know somebody's having to look after me.
55:24
That's it. You are really looking after me
55:26
because now I'm crying. Yeah, I know I need to go home
55:29
and I need to go to bed. Once that's happened, there's no
55:31
going back from that. Once I'm crying, I need to go
55:34
home. But saying that, I had a lot of
55:37
nights out in Bristol that ended hilariously and ended, you know,
55:42
just, I have so many nights at OMG that were just so funny.
55:45
I can remember, I can remember you falling asleep at the bus
55:49
stop because you were so drunk you could not get into the club.
55:52
They would not let you in. Didn't you say somebody reported
55:54
you or something before you got that?
55:56
Yeah. So we went to.
55:57
So across the. If you know Bristol at all, if
55:59
you know, I don't know if these nightclubs are even still there.
56:00
I know OMG is, but I'm not sure about Bent.
56:02
But there was Bent across the road.
56:04
It's called OMG Bar now, I think.
56:07
Oh OK, well we went there first and I was I can I just say I'm a
56:12
stiffler for pre drinking. I'm very into pre drinking.
56:15
OK, because I want to save my money.
56:18
She never ever end up saving my money because I just get really
56:21
drunk pre drinking and then spend it all anyway.
56:25
But it on a taxi by yourself because you've had to give her
56:28
money I. Was like wasted before we got
56:33
there. And they were like, you can't
56:34
bring a drink onto the dance floor.
56:36
And I was screaming at this woman like, I'm going to get
56:38
spiked if I put my drink down. And she was like, well, don't
56:42
dance then. And I was like.
56:43
You. Can't stop my feet from dancing
56:45
and then. Then I tried to leave because I
56:50
was like right, I'm going across the.
56:51
Road with my drink and then she was like, you can't do that.
56:54
And I was like, well, I paid for it.
56:56
And I was, I remember, I remember looking.
56:58
Back on it now I. Was in I was the idiot yeah but
57:01
Oh yeah you were very dry cannot stop my feet from dancing so you
57:05
were so but I went over to OMG and they.
57:09
Were like we can't let you in. And I was like, yeah, I'm so
57:13
bad. Watch me walk in a straight line
57:16
because, you know, that's what what you're doing.
57:18
I can remember going to the bus stop and seeing you lined.
57:21
You were literally lying down on the bench on the bus stop.
57:24
Yeah, They were like, you're not coming in.
57:26
And I was like, this is shit. It's 10:00.
57:31
I think the problem is we used to, like, drink a whole.
57:35
Yeah, we used to drink a whole bottle of wine before we went
57:38
out. Yeah, the wine was my.
57:41
Rose was my like. Can't drink.
57:43
Like I can't drink Rose at all. I can have two glasses and I'm
57:46
probably going to have a headache the next day.
57:48
Do you know what I mean? I used to drink that before I
57:50
left the house and if it wasn't finished, I'd take it on the
57:52
bus. Just leave the bottle on the
57:54
back seat of the bus. Like yeah, it's not good.
57:58
A photo of us all on a night. Out isn't.
58:00
There where we're like all dressed up in our Halloween
58:03
clothes. And I think I have a bottle of
58:05
rose in that photo. Was that when I went as Alex
58:07
Ross from Orange is the New Black?
58:10
Yes, yes. I love that.
58:12
That was a great outfit. That was a good outfit.
58:14
All I had to do is put on an orange jumpsuit because I
58:15
already looked like her because I already had the glasses and
58:17
the long black hair bit, winged eyeliner.
58:22
Another absolute, another absolute banger is obviously our
58:26
Swift Together nights because they're always so much fun and
58:31
we still do those as old ladies and mums.
58:34
And I feel like that's our thing now.
58:35
Once a year we have to go to Swift together.
58:39
Yeah, it's like once or twice a. Year isn't it?
58:41
And we always we. Always try and stay in that.
58:43
Do you remember the first place we stayed?
58:44
And it was so good. Oh yeah, the IT was upstairs in
58:48
like a little loft, wasn't it? Yeah, he had.
58:52
Like he. Has like a.
58:54
House with a house on the side of his house that it's.
58:58
Yeah, Yeah. But like out of season, he just
59:01
rents it out on Airbnb and Airbnb.
59:03
So good. It was a cute little like, like
59:06
attic room. I remember it was really sweet.
59:09
Loved that. All I remember really is really
59:12
enjoying it. There was great lighting.
59:14
It was so warm for February, but we were just starving.
59:19
Yeah, we were hungry. That was the the.
59:21
We will never make that mistake again, though, because every
59:23
time we go, if we're going to stay somewhere, we're like,
59:26
right, Snacks. I mean snacks are are.
59:29
Needed for every. Situation, aren't they?
59:31
Let's face it, you could be going to to your best mate's
59:34
house for a catch up. You need snacks.
59:35
You could be going to watch a film or a musical or you need
59:38
snacks. Like, yeah, always if we are
59:41
staying away from our house, there is snacks because of that
59:45
one night where we got back and there was no snacks and it was
59:48
the worst thing. I've never been SO.
59:51
For our dinner that night. We shared a bag of Doritos.
59:54
Yeah. And then we woke up and we were
59:56
like, what the fuck? You've got drama, you know, It
1:00:00
was awful. We had one bottle of water
1:00:02
between US and it was absolutely.
1:00:04
It was really warm. Do you remember?
1:00:06
Because it wasn't it like June and it was really warm.
1:00:08
And the the water from the tap wasn't even very cold because we
1:00:12
were so thirsty. It was like, yeah, it was like
1:00:14
lukewarm water. And we could never get into that
1:00:18
bloody. Bathroom because there.
1:00:19
Was always other people in there, somebody in there.
1:00:21
Oh my God, it was so funny. But those are my favourite
1:00:24
nights because it's 4 hours. It's only our favourite music in
1:00:28
the whole world. Everybody loves each other.
1:00:30
It's like being a Busted or McFly gig because everybody's so
1:00:33
friendly. Everybody just wants to be there
1:00:34
to have fun and I think that's why it's my favourite.
1:00:37
What I will say, yeah, yeah, definitely.
1:00:41
But what I will? Say my worst thing.
1:00:42
About stuff together and genuinely, genuinely the worst
1:00:45
thing. And this sounds like a first
1:00:47
world problem because it does not sound awful but it's like
1:00:50
deciding when to go to the toilet because every song is a
1:00:52
fucking banger. So funny and so true.
1:00:57
I'm already pre thinking about the.
1:00:58
Next one and like. We literally do.
1:01:01
And to be fair though, we made this observation last time.
1:01:04
Do you remember? Like barely anybody was
1:01:06
drinking. I think it's like the the
1:01:09
younger generation just don't like seem to drink the next
1:01:12
generation of like I see generations.
1:01:15
Yeah. Everybody was like in trainers
1:01:17
and jeans and like, we're really comfy and we were like in our
1:01:19
dresses. And I was like, I felt really
1:01:21
overdressed. Next time I'm going literally in
1:01:24
baggy jeans and trainers, I'm going in trainers.
1:01:26
Chant is happening. Thank you all for being here.
1:02:09
Thank you for listening to U.S. chat absolute nonsense for
1:02:12
another hour. We cannot believe how many of
1:02:14
you are listening to us on a weekly basis.
1:02:16
It's so many, more than we ever imagined.
1:02:17
So thank you so much for being here. 100% couldn't agree more.
1:02:21
To be honest it like shocks me every time.
1:02:23
We. It's scary isn't it?
1:02:24
You like what you hear, please like rate subscribe, but you
1:02:28
can. It really does help us get to
1:02:30
new people. Like as we just said, we are so
1:02:32
surprised how many people do listen to us.
1:02:34
So it does actually help. And hey, who knows, maybe
1:02:38
Spotify will pay us If you do, you know, we might, we might get
1:02:41
commissioned. Oh my God, how nice would it be?
1:02:45
Just a just a little bit of dollar for all the times blood,
1:02:48
sweat and tears. I say blood, sweat and tears.
1:02:50
I just sit here with a microphone and touch it for an
1:02:52
hour. So it's really not that much
1:02:53
hard work. But still just give me enough
1:02:55
money for some snacks. Do you know what I mean?
1:02:58
Just snacks while I'm here. That would be great.
1:03:01
Oh dear. We will be in your ears again
1:03:03
next week, obviously. And it's busted up next.
1:03:05
And their next song is Psycho Girl, which we are so buzzing
1:03:09
about. Shannon's one of Shannon's
1:03:11
favourite and we have some very, very special guest book for the
1:03:15
next couple of months at 3 so far that we've booked in one for
1:03:19
end of January, 1 for February and one for March.
1:03:21
And they are fabulous. I mean, I'm so excited.
1:03:25
You will probably recognise one most definitely of the names if
1:03:30
you're a hardcore McFly Stan and the others are also equally
1:03:35
awesome. So we are really looking forward
1:03:37
to sharing those with you. But for now, keep your playlist
1:03:40
loud and happiness in your hearts.
1:03:42
Goodbye, bye.
