1:03
My week has been fine so far, weather's been a bit rubbish but
1:06
I've been out and taking the dog for.
1:09
A walk, yeah, Tasha's literally like I should be paying her to
1:11
to look after my dog because she just.
1:13
Comes. No, I'm.
1:14
Going for a walk, should I take blue?
1:16
I'm like yes please. He is literally.
1:17
Like therapy, isn't he? He's such a good boy.
1:20
So yeah, it's been getting me out, especially in the rain as
1:23
well, which has been really nice.
1:24
So he he. Absolutely loves you so much so
1:26
it's it's. Nice.
1:27
Mutual. It's mutual.
1:30
Good, good. How are you, Shan?
1:31
What have you been up to? Yeah, well, I was going to say
1:35
I'm great, but actually, not going to lie, I've been really
1:37
poorly this week. I don't know whether it was the
1:40
tour or working in a school, but I got the sickness bad.
1:44
So I've been rotting away online Christmas shopping.
1:48
Awful. Rotting away.
1:50
I. Just love that.
1:52
And I've been bingeing like awful Netflix shows, like like
1:56
Hallmark Christmas movies. Nice.
2:00
Live in the dream. I mean, it's that time of year.
2:02
Yeah, right. I did actually make it out on
2:04
Saturday night to a carnival which was really good although
2:07
it was almost 3 hours long and my kids had had enough by like
2:11
hour one. Not ideal they.
2:15
Were like, when's it going to end?
2:17
It looks even. Fun.
2:18
Oh, it did look good. That was your video, you know,
2:20
with air Hostess? Yeah.
2:22
I. Literally when I didn't even see
2:23
it. And Shannon had messaged me
2:24
privately, but I didn't see her message until she'd actually
2:27
posted it on the page. And I was like, this is so cool.
2:30
Yeah, yeah. Can I be the actress?
2:33
Honestly, it was so, so good. Like it was just, you know, like
2:37
normally there's like a float and then a few like twirly
2:41
ribbon people and like walking people and then a float.
2:44
And this wasn't. It was like almost 3 hours of
2:47
just amazing float after amazing float.
2:50
I love that. That's so cool.
2:52
And they were all doing dance like a proper dance routine.
2:54
Did you actually have like mechanics as well?
2:57
Like, yeah. It was so and they really,
2:59
really, really got into it the whole we were right at the end
3:02
and they were still going for it.
3:04
So. Yeah, it wasn't raining.
3:08
It was raining in the morning, but it which made for a really
3:12
clear night, so it was OK. It was just really cold.
3:15
Yeah, I kind of like that this time of year.
3:18
I sort of. I'm really in my, like, boots,
3:20
jumper and scarf phase at the moment.
3:22
Like I just bought, you said those velvety leggings.
3:25
Have you got those? Oh, pyjamas?
3:27
That would be cute. Yeah.
3:28
But we're going on The Polar Express at the end of this
3:31
month. Are you?
3:32
I'm so excited. Yeah.
3:34
We're taking Marley and my sister-in-law and her little
3:37
girl, and yeah, we're going on Polish spots.
3:39
I can't wait till I actually get to wear my pyjamas outside of
3:42
the house for the first time ever.
3:43
I'm so excited. So good.
3:46
Yeah. How about you?
3:47
What have you done this week? Today.
3:50
It's been a really busy weekend here.
3:52
I've been a market this weekend, the spiritual market, because I
3:56
in my spare time, other than doing this wonderful podcast
3:59
with you, I have to run a small business.
4:02
So I've been flogging my wares at the market.
4:05
But it went really well in the end and and made some money.
4:07
So it's definitely worth it. And I had my mop chopped and
4:11
died today. So I feel like a new woman
4:13
because, you know, everybody needs a boost every now and
4:16
again. It's very dark but I am getting
4:18
used to it. No, it looks.
4:20
Really nice. I'm very much in my like winter
4:22
mode now, like I and I think it was seeing Shannon put her
4:25
Christmas tree up. You've got your Christmas.
4:27
Tree. Yes, I have.
4:28
Oh my God, I've been Paulie, I've been Paulie.
4:32
So I was like any kind of. I was sat on my sofa genuinely
4:36
in like 3 day old pyjamas with yesterday's dinner on them and I
4:40
was like what can I do to make myself feel better?
4:43
Oh wait I know, go and buy it. Also, I went and bought a new
4:48
Christmas tree. You you did say you were going
4:51
to treat yourself to a new Christmas tree this year.
4:53
I've got a free lit Christmas tree and I just put it up.
4:57
I love the what can I do to make myself feel better?
5:00
I'm going to put my Christmas tree.
5:02
I've not washed my three day old dinner bananas.
5:05
No, no, they stayed on last. I went to Tesco's to buy my I
5:08
love to buy my tree. I love it.
5:11
Yeah, but that's the way we adult.
5:13
That's adultery, isn't it? Yeah.
5:15
Buy Christmas tree. I love it.
5:16
I If I could get away with putting my Christmas tree up and
5:19
my husband not absolutely ripping the shit out of me for
5:21
it, I would do it 100%. Bradley did say to me, I do it.
5:25
And he did say to me, he was like, you're not putting that
5:28
now, are you? I was like, yeah, I am sorry.
5:29
And he was like, we can't. I was like, no, I'm not even
5:32
going to pretend to argue about this because I'm going to put it
5:35
up. And he was like, Ryan, I'm going
5:36
to obsess. I love you.
5:38
Bye. And I put on Gavin and Stacey's
5:40
Christmas special. Oh.
5:43
Absolutely. Oh so good.
5:44
It's like a tradition, isn't it? You've got to have something
5:46
like that one. And my sister-in-law also has
5:48
her Christmas tree up and her partner even re shared it on his
5:53
Instagram and I messaged him. I was like can you please teach
5:56
Jack how to like putting a Christmas tree up in November
5:59
because I need mine up. A month is not long enough.
6:02
I'm sorry, it's not long enough. But I'm also one of those
6:05
people, I don't know if it's because I've had kids, but
6:08
Boxing Day my tree gets taken down because I'm over stimulated
6:12
with the amount of toys and like decorations and everything in
6:14
the house. Yeah, I haven't.
6:16
I'm normally like a first week of January girl but I feel like
6:19
it might be different than shit with mine.
6:21
Yeah. I just was that I need my living
6:23
room back. Mine is definitely day after
6:27
Boxing Day or the day after the day after Boxing Day.
6:30
So like before New Year's? Oh yeah, get it?
6:32
Down New year is a new year? I don't know.
6:34
Need to go into the new. Year to be fair, I'm so actually
6:37
I feel like that might be more my style this year because that
6:40
first week of January like before you go back to work
6:44
properly, obviously in schools because I work in schools.
6:47
So I always have like the first few days off and it's like
6:49
complete spring clean time like it's winter clean, but obviously
6:53
it's like get everything away. So maybe getting the tree down
6:56
early is a good idea. Anyway, we're talking about
6:58
Christmas and it's November, so should we probably move on?
7:02
That's the first thing we normally ask all of our guests
7:05
is the most anticipated question and and we've had lots of very
7:10
mixed responses. But are you Team Busted or Team
7:13
McFly? I mean, I am 100% down to the
7:17
bone Team McFly, and I'm not. I'm not shy about it.
7:22
Galaxy defender forever, yeah. Absolutely, absolutely love
7:27
that. And you've listened to McFly for
7:29
as long as we have, haven't you? Yeah, yeah, one of my first
7:32
albums was. Yeah, yeah, amazing.
7:36
We actually spoke about this last week, didn't we?
7:38
About how we used to have our old like stereo players and like
7:41
our stack of CD Oh yeah, by the side and like.
7:43
Ripped on Limewire. Yeah.
7:46
Oh my God. Downloaded on utorrent.
7:48
Yeah. Oh my God.
7:50
Yeah. I actually found a playlist the
7:52
other day for that was called like Limewire era.
7:55
And I was like, Oh my God, I feel so loved.
7:58
You know, when you speak to your friends, you're like, do you
7:59
know what Limewire is? And they're like, no.
8:01
And you're like, Oh yeah, that's.
8:04
Good job. It's literally exactly how there
8:07
were people that I used to work with that didn't know who Busted
8:09
were because they were so young. There was a boy, there was a boy
8:14
who was our KP. He was our like Saturday boy and
8:17
he was born after Busted split up.
8:22
That's so sad he didn't even get to see busted in their.
8:24
Prime didn't even get to see busted in their prime.
8:27
This is so upsetting to be honest.
8:29
I think my sister's the same. My sister doesn't like she's,
8:33
she's 97. I think she was born, so yes,
8:37
it's maybe a little bit late, maybe 98, I can't remember.
8:39
She's six years, She's six years younger than me, but she's not
8:42
on this wave at all. She completely missed the boat
8:45
for like the naughties music, I think because we were like young
8:49
teenagers, weren't we in the naughties?
8:51
Whereas she was like a bit younger.
8:53
So she just didn't jump on their bandwagon.
8:55
My it's my favourite music even now and it's 20 years later and
8:59
I'm still listening to it every day in the car.
9:01
I just remember seeing these 4 lads like on the five colours
9:06
video and being like Oh my God. Like they are too cool like.
9:11
Everything about them, like, Oh my God, the hair and clothes and
9:15
you know, like. Your pin straight hair that's
9:17
glued to your forehead. Yeah.
9:18
Oh. My God, yeah.
9:20
Like, you know when you get PVA glue at school and you put it on
9:22
your hand, just go down there down the head.
9:25
That was Danny. That was my stuff.
9:27
Yeah. We talked about last week how he
9:29
looks like he's one of those guys that would Hairspray his
9:31
hair and then straighten it. Yeah, yeah, definitely was part.
9:35
I'm here for it though. I'm here for it.
9:36
Yeah, definitely. The other thing we like to ask
9:39
is your favourite member of each band and your favourite song
9:43
from each band too. Sorry, very different.
9:45
Tricky question. I mean, my favourite, my
9:49
favourite member of Busted has got to be Matt.
9:51
Everybody chooses Matt. I know.
9:53
And you know what? Like I kind of hate myself for
9:55
it because he's just yeah, I don't know, you say that like
9:58
about. I mean, yes, he is sexy, but you
10:00
say about everyone choosing him. Like my best friend from home
10:03
was 100% Charlie and. Yeah, I think if you asked me
10:07
when I was younger, I would have said the one with the eyebrows.
10:10
No. Do you?
10:11
Sorry but James Bond, till I die.
10:13
I love that though, love that. But like, there was something
10:16
about Matt, and I think it was the like when I was a bit
10:19
younger, I think deep down I had a bit of a greedy dark side.
10:24
Bad boy attitude. Yeah, and I and I think it was
10:27
always a bit like try to come out with like, yeah, I don't
10:30
know, like back in the day I never would have like warm
10:32
combust and now I'm combust all the time, you know.
10:35
But like, I don't know, there was something about Matt.
10:38
He was just like a little bit like it had that, like just a
10:41
little bit of like, yeah, we talked.
10:43
Last week there was a Smash Hits headline and in the corner it
10:46
says something about Matt Willis being the naughty kid at school
10:50
or something. Oh.
10:50
Yeah, you can totally see that. Yeah, yeah.
10:52
Probably the the kid in school that's sitting in class like
10:55
making everyone laugh whilst getting in trouble.
10:57
And I like exactly, yeah, it's his little vibe.
11:01
It's definitely his bad boy vibe.
11:02
Yeah. OK, so that's busted down harder
11:05
question then is who is your favourite McFly member?
11:08
I. Mean, I mean, I feel like, like
11:10
everyone knows this, but it's Danny, Danny.
11:12
Oh yeah. Danny Jones.
11:14
Oh my God. You and Shannon have that in
11:16
common. Oh God, what a guy.
11:18
What a guy. My man.
11:20
My man, the main man, Danny. Jones, I don't know what it I
11:23
mean, I do know what it is about him.
11:24
He's like, he's absolutely gorgeous.
11:26
But again, he's got that, like, funny.
11:28
Charisma. Cheeky chappie vibe.
11:31
Got here like. Is that actually anything wrong?
11:33
No, no, not a single thing. I can't, I can't even.
11:37
Like even his freckles are good looking.
11:39
Like there is nothing wrong with him in any aspect.
11:42
And I've loved every hairstyle he's had, even when he got that
11:45
curly hair and everyone. Was like curly hair.
11:48
But then you learn to love it. And you're like.
11:49
Oh yeah, I want to run my fingers through that.
11:51
Have you seen, though, just going back to Matt Willis?
11:54
Because I saw a picture earlier of Matt Willis with like, like
11:58
short sides and like a curly little mop top.
12:01
And I was like, where was this hairstyle and why haven't I seen
12:04
that? I didn't even know where it was
12:06
from. OK, find that.
12:08
Photo I'm going to have to because I literally I was about
12:10
to write under the video petition for Matt to grow his
12:12
hair back please, because this is unbelievable.
12:15
I'm talking of like favourite members and like lots of people
12:19
being team Danny. Obviously we did AI thought we'd
12:22
bring this back up. Shan from last episode.
12:25
We did a snog marry. Avoid friendzone last.
12:28
Week I did see this and it took me.
12:30
A while to think, I just, I haven't sort of put it on our
12:33
programme of things to talk about today, but I thought I
12:35
might just throw it at you while you're here, Snog.
12:36
Marry. Avoid friend zone because
12:39
there's four members of OH. No, that's so.
12:41
Cruel. I know it's horrible.
12:43
Marry what? I mean I'm marrying Danny for
12:45
sure. I want to wake up and look at
12:47
that every morning. Snog Marry Danny.
12:51
Avoid friend zone SO. Snog, avoid and friend.
12:53
Zone. I'm obviously going to snog
12:56
Dougie. Nice.
12:58
Yeah, because I. Reckon I reckon he could go to
13:01
town in my mouth. That's the best thing.
13:09
Sorry, I love that. Sorry, mum.
13:11
Oh, this is so hard because I feel like Harry's like a bit of
13:15
a secret joke. Well, I'm not even a secret
13:18
joker, but I just think sometimes he gets a bit
13:20
overlooked and he's actually. I said that.
13:22
As well, Yeah. And my I, I avoided Tom because
13:27
I didn't want to split that family up.
13:30
I didn't. I married Tom because I didn't
13:31
care about. The families?
13:33
What song is he singing at your wedding?
13:34
Do you know what I mean? But if he used the same song but
13:38
then just changed a couple of words, I wouldn't.
13:41
Mind wouldn't mind. No, I think I'm with you, Shan.
13:44
I think I'm probably going to friend zone Harry and avoid Tom.
13:48
I'm sorry. I can't.
13:49
Believe, and I'm sad to say that, but I'm sorry but you lot
13:52
made this game up. I.
13:53
Know I'm sad nobody agrees with me.
13:56
There was a mix. There was actually a mix of
13:57
responses on the polls. I put one on TikTok and one on
14:00
Instagram and there was a few comments underneath as to like
14:03
people that had why they had chosen the people that they'd
14:06
chosen. And there was quite a few people
14:09
similarly, actually quite a few people who were putting Tom in
14:13
the marry category because of his like family life and how
14:16
much of a good dad and a good husband he is.
14:19
There were a couple of controversial comments about
14:21
Danny. I can imagine.
14:23
Which we don't. We won't go in, we won't go into
14:27
on the podcast. However they would be they were
14:30
his antics were being used as reasons not to marry him, which
14:34
it's like they're just each of their own.
14:37
Exactly, exactly. But we still love you.
14:39
Danny well, I mean, if, if he wants to do that, then I'll just
14:42
bring Tom back in the game, yeah.
14:44
Tick tick, for each for their own.
14:48
But it was actually really interesting to see everybody's
14:50
choices. But the majority of people were
14:52
marrying Tom or Danny and snogging the other, not Tom, but
14:58
the other ones. And a lot of people avoiding my
15:01
man Tom Fletcher, which makes me really sad.
15:04
But Dougie seemed to be the majority friend zone.
15:07
Really. Because that was my.
15:08
Friend zone. We both chose friend zone, but I
15:10
think it isn't because we don't want to lick his face, because
15:13
obviously we do. It's because we think he'd be
15:16
really funny and we just get on with him really well.
15:19
Because he's got such a Yeah. He's got such a stupid, like,
15:23
fun, Yeah, way of being, hasn't he?
15:26
Absolutely love that. OK.
15:27
And no worries, we'll just run away.
15:31
Have a coffee. The other thing I was going to
15:34
ask you is your favourite song. So we need a Busted song.
15:36
Anna McFly song. Busted favourite song I think is
15:40
Britney. Nice, just cleverly written.
15:43
Which is next week's episode, So please tune in on Friday morning
15:46
to hear Britney text Tash for the.
15:49
Vlog this is really hard for me for McFly songs because they
15:56
there's so many that like just hit you right in the fields,
15:58
isn't there? And I do like some of the sadder
16:02
ones that you can cry to in the car.
16:05
Oh God, yeah. But I think one of my
16:07
favourites, and I feel like it will be quite an overlooked 1 is
16:10
Walk in the Sun. What album is that?
16:16
That is. I thought so.
16:19
Yeah, and I saw it, a bit of it. Well, God knows.
16:24
I don't know where I was, but I cried.
16:25
And I'd never cried at a gig before.
16:27
And I was like, Oh my God, I'm not OK.
16:29
We cry every time just for that one.
16:31
Yeah. Do you know what I think that
16:32
broke my seal and now I just know I go to.
16:35
But yeah, I feel like it's just one of those ones that not
16:38
everyone would know, but it's just so beautiful and.
16:42
So good there are. Quite a few.
16:44
There are quite a few overlooked ones I think.
16:46
There is and some some that you think why didn't you release
16:49
that? Live and like I've never heard
16:51
them play live. Like I feel like I this year
16:54
especially like knowing we were starting the podcast, I like
16:56
rediscovered a lot of the older stuff and like the older albums
16:59
because on my playlist I've got like the majority, you know, the
17:02
ones that I know I love Rediscovered That's the truth
17:07
the other day. Oh yeah.
17:08
And what AII was literally in my kitchen like.
17:13
This is the Best Song like. How was a time in my life so
17:16
much? There was a time in my life when
17:19
the when the name Frankie Bridge was a swear word because of that
17:24
song. Oh yes.
17:26
Do you remember her Frankie Bridge?
17:27
Yes, I had a haircut. And me.
17:29
I think we all did at some point.
17:31
If you're in your 30s, you definitely have that Hagger.
17:35
Absolutely love that song. I am, I've just also had a
17:39
thought as well and I'm sorry I'm going to say it, but that's
17:41
my like sad slow song. That's my favourite.
17:44
But up there is sorry he's not good enough.
17:47
Oh my God, like I love it. Yeah, I love it.
17:51
It's a belter. You just felt to it.
17:53
Such a belter, so good. It's time for Quote Corner.
18:00
This is a section of the show where we find quotes from the
18:02
band and discuss. Now, Tasha, as you're the guest
18:06
today, we're going to let you go first, putting you, you know,
18:09
right on the batter plank. What quote did you find for us
18:14
this week and who is it from? I found a quote from Obviously
18:17
Danny and he says I'm basically like a golden retriever with a
18:21
guitar. And you know what?
18:23
That's pretty much what it says on my Tinder profile, what I'm
18:26
looking for. I mean a guitar.
18:31
Player and a golden retriever or one that's like a golden roover.
18:35
Both guitar guitar player with a golden retriever as I would
18:38
agree. So yeah, that is, that's my,
18:41
that's my quote for today. And you can sort of hear how
18:43
he's going to say it, can't you like?
18:46
In his voice. So anybody out there that's
18:49
listening if you're a guitar player who's also a golden
18:52
retriever? Yeah, my number is.
18:57
I love it. I love it.
18:58
Go on then. Shan, what's your quote?
19:00
OK, so my quote today kind of mirrors yours from last week a
19:03
little. I think it's from our number one
19:05
drummer Harry Judd himself. And it goes, I'm joking and it
19:14
goes. Dougie was very excited today
19:17
because we figured out a really good post show cool down,
19:21
lighting a candle, having a shower, getting into some
19:24
comfies and then having some healthy food.
19:27
And I can assure you it is very rock'n'roll.
19:30
Few people go for drinks post show but we just go straight to
19:33
bed. There's.
19:35
Not really a huge amount to reflect on on it, I just thought
19:38
it was very awesome, very relatable, and very McFly.
19:41
Do you know what's really funny is I'm gonna dobber in now.
19:45
Tash actually messaged me earlier and said, are we
19:48
videoing this podcast because I'm coming over in my pyjamas if
19:50
we aren't. And I said no, no, we're not
19:52
doing video yet because we're in our 30s and I am wearing my
19:56
joggers right now. That's just what happens when I
19:59
get home from a long, stressful day.
20:00
The pyjamas go on. Absolutely.
20:02
I'm not sure I'm eating the healthy food.
20:04
I mean, occasionally there's healthy food, but there is a
20:06
ginormous pack of chocolate hobnobs next to us at the
20:08
moment, which I. Put my day but lighting a
20:11
candle, having a shower, getting into some comfies.
20:14
Love that. Absolutely.
20:15
It was the whole, it was the whole a few people go for
20:18
drinks, best show, but we just go straight to bed and honestly
20:20
it's such a vibe. My quote this week is from the
20:24
only man in the world that can wear dungarees shirtless every
20:26
single night and pull it off enormously.
20:29
It's Mr Dougie Pointer and his quote.
20:32
I just thought it was hilarious. My brain begins to work stuff
20:35
out, but then kind of halfway through it starts wandering off
20:38
and it's like, ah, unicorns. OK, relatable as well.
20:42
We're all very. Honestly I mean if this is not
20:45
me after having a baby I don't know what is.
20:47
I genuinely am so happy that it's not just me that does this.
20:49
I go to do 1 specific thing and I don't know whether this is the
20:53
girl thing or a middle-aged thing or a mum thing, but I can
20:57
go into the kitchen with in my head, right?
20:59
I'm going to make myself a sandwich.
21:01
OK, so I go to the kitchen and I get the bread out and I go to
21:04
the fridge to get the butter and I notice that there's a
21:07
Tupperware in there with food that probably needs to go in the
21:09
bin. So instead of getting the butter
21:11
out, I get the food out and I put it in the bin.
21:12
Then I go to the bin and I realise that the bin's full.
21:14
So I take the bin out and I come back in, put a new bin bag in
21:17
the bin. And then I look at the dog's
21:18
water bowl. I think oh, he's not got enough
21:19
water. And then I've lost my train of
21:21
thought and it's 2 hours later and I haven't made.
21:24
Myself a sandwich because. It's just me.
21:27
Do you guys do this too? No, I can't.
21:29
I can't tell you that you're wrong in what you've just said
21:32
because I am also a mum in her 30s and a female and all of
21:37
those things happen to me. Oh, thank God.
21:38
I am not a mum, however I am exactly the same.
21:42
Good. So it might just be a girl
21:43
thing. A girl in the 30s thing, yeah.
21:47
I don't know. I think, I think it gets
21:48
different, like at different times of the month.
21:51
It's worse on my good week, it's great.
21:54
I'm fine. I can do.
21:55
I can literally take over the world on my good all at once.
21:57
Yeah, literally. But the other 3 1/2 weeks, yeah,
22:00
don't bother, no. No, totally get him.
22:03
Don't come near me. So tour talk is going to be a
22:07
little bit different this week because as you all know, the
22:09
Busted versus McFly tour has officially ended.
22:13
It. Ended three days, I think it was
22:17
3 days before we are recording this episode.
22:20
But by the time you guys listen to this, obviously it's going to
22:22
be a good week and a half away. So it's still super fresh for us
22:26
and we thought that last week we would revisit some of the times
22:28
that we've all seen the boys live.
22:32
So Tasha didn't actually get a chance to go to this tour, did
22:34
you? No, don't want to talk about.
22:37
This is the podcast What this is For.
22:40
No, I didn't. I honestly, I don't actually
22:43
know why. I think I just missed the
22:46
opportunity to get tickets. And it's also just like finding
22:51
time to get off work and obviously living down in
22:54
Cornwall, travelling. So if they listen to this and
22:56
want to do a show in Cornwall. That'd be great honestly.
22:59
Cardiff is too far. Cardiff is.
23:01
So. That was their closest arena 4
23:03
1/2 hours away. Ridiculous.
23:04
I keep saying we are the toe of the country, literally are, but
23:08
just don't forget about us. Plymouth isn't that far.
23:11
I can do Plymouth. I know it's any.
23:12
Small Plymouth. We are a beautiful, I know.
23:14
Beautiful. Toe I know we are.
23:16
We are. And not only that, but I know
23:19
for a fact Tom and his family stay in Cornwall and down the
23:24
road they stay in Cornwall, they stay in Gwythian, which is less
23:27
than a mile from our house. So Tom will meet you at the Red
23:30
Ribbon next time, Pint. I wanna know where they stay.
23:33
I bet they stay in those really nice houses at the top of the,
23:35
you know, where the car park is. Yeah, they is.
23:37
Really. Is that what they say?
23:38
Yeah. I thought, yeah, I generally.
23:40
Can't remember what it's called. I don't know, but every time I
23:42
drive past it, I'm like, bet you any money that's where they stay
23:44
'cause it's lush and it's that you can walk the beach and
23:48
James, you do have tunes. And the Junes though?
23:50
I don't know. Yeah, we do.
23:51
We do. They've been twice.
23:54
You were in Canada? I was.
23:55
Flying to Canada when they were at jeans and the jeans, What?
23:58
I mean, how terrible? Like that is the worst timing
24:00
ever, isn't it? So.
24:01
Sad, so sad and I I didn't go because I had just had Molly at
24:04
that point. That was the summer that Molly
24:06
was born. So missed out on that.
24:08
But doesn't mean to say they won't be back.
24:10
Fingers crossed. But you know, I think it is sad
24:14
that they don't come down this far.
24:15
But you know, sometimes pitching in for a four and a half hour
24:17
drive and we've already decided, Tash e-mail told me earlier.
24:21
Emailed. Lol how old are we?
24:23
It wasn't an e-mail. I just went.
24:25
Carrier pigeon earlier. This is my this is my late
24:29
brain. Tash whatsapped me earlier a
24:32
picture of the the new dates for summer tour next year and me and
24:37
Charlene did exactly the same thing.
24:38
So obviously we're going to be going to see them once at least
24:43
once next year. And you know what we've said so
24:45
many times this this tour, why did we only book one day?
24:48
I'm absolutely human because we've spoken to so many people
24:50
that have been so many times and like they repeatedly go.
24:55
And I was speaking to a girl the other day who's been quite a few
24:57
times and she said they were queuing at 4:00 AM.
25:00
She was #1 in the queue. So fair play.
25:03
But 4:00 AM, I was like, I don't know whether I've got 4:00 AM in
25:05
there, maybe like 7:00 AM, but 4:00 AM it's just.
25:10
Really. But I used to be that person
25:11
that would go to like many a show, many a tour like I would,
25:17
there would be 1 tour and I'd go to like 5 or 6 shows.
25:20
And it was so fun and I do miss doing it so much.
25:24
Like like you say, when we've been to 1 show, we we're always
25:26
like, why haven't we booked another?
25:28
Why haven't? We booked another.
25:30
But it's just like logistically fitting in more than one.
25:34
It's not even cost. It's not really distance.
25:36
It's like fitting it around work, fitting it around
25:40
childcare, fitting it around travel, fitting it in around
25:44
like, you know, just like life, everything.
25:46
It's so hard, so hard to just like, especially like working in
25:51
a school. How often are they going to do
25:54
weekends? They're not.
25:55
And that's really annoying because also when the weekend
25:58
dates go online, they sell out so fast because people are
26:02
working, so they can't. I also feel like as well, if you
26:05
go in in the week, you need a day off to recover because like
26:09
by the time you get back, you're buzzing, you want to talk about
26:12
it and then like the next day you want to sit at home and
26:15
listen to their music. Again, also if you are
26:17
travelling, if you're travelling 4 hours, you need the whole day
26:20
off the next day because you need to get home.
26:22
So that doesn't work either. Have you seen a lot of the tour
26:25
online? Have you like, do you have any
26:27
idea of like how it went and sort of the things?
26:30
I'm a little bit bitter because I didn't know so some of it I
26:35
just scroll past because it makes me sad.
26:37
But Oh my God, Tasha, have you not seen the Danny and Charlie
26:40
duet? I have.
26:42
Amazing. OK.
26:43
She did. She did that.
26:44
I keep you can't scroll past. That I keep seeing people being
26:46
like petition to release this and.
26:49
Yeah. Both incredible voices, aren't
26:51
they? But I actually thoroughly
26:53
enjoyed the Ghostbusters song that.
26:56
That. Was very lucky to be at that
26:58
date. But they were like with Dougie
27:01
dressed as Alpha Bar and I'll just.
27:04
Walk on a break. So Shannon mentally rang me and
27:06
she just went Chris Bone is dressed up as the guy from the
27:10
year 3000 video. And then she went Oh my God,
27:13
Dougie's and I was just getting all of these and it all like
27:16
clips of her just screaming down the phone at me.
27:19
Oh my God, oh so good. It looked really good.
27:23
I think my favourite tour moments were definitely the
27:27
Mcbusted set was just unreal. Did you go to the Mcbusted?
27:30
Did you go to Mcbusted? Yeah.
27:32
Did you go to Cardiff? No, I think I was in.
27:35
Like I'm talking or something. Yeah the Mcbusted set was, it
27:40
was so good, it just wasn't long enough.
27:41
They needed to have done more. 2 songs was not good enough but it
27:45
was absolutely phenomenal and two songs that they did do and I
27:47
was just screaming my head off the whole time.
27:50
What Happened to Your band is my favourite MOC Busted song
27:53
because it was a James Bond song originally.
27:55
So I've heard James Bond do it, I've had Busted do it and Son of
27:59
Dork did it as well in New York when they were doing their live
28:03
sessions in New York. So seeing them like come
28:05
together, like all together, it was just lush to see that and
28:08
the stars because that's the best thing ever.
28:12
It's nice to see Charlie sing Look what?
28:16
Happened to your band. Yeah.
28:17
Yeah, definitely. It adds another level.
28:20
I'm almost a little bit bitter about it, though.
28:22
I'm sorry, Charlie. I forgive you.
28:24
I really do. I really do forgive you.
28:26
But I feel like you're not allowed to sing that song.
28:30
You're what happened to my band. You are what happened to my.
28:34
Band. Oh, it's nice that they're all
28:35
friends. Again.
28:36
Oh yeah, they love me. And three AM, 3:00 AM and the
28:40
star girl kicks. Star girl kicks just make me
28:42
happy. Every time they pop up on my
28:44
timeline, I'm just like, yes, yeah.
28:46
You've got to watch it. That takes some serious skill.
28:48
Doesn't it? It really does like and they've
28:50
got like videos of people trying to do it outside and I'm just
28:52
looking at them like, you're not doing it right, you are not
28:54
doing it, ruining it, ruining it.
28:56
What about you Shan? Favourite tour moments?
29:00
Danny, Danny, Charlie, do you at 100%?
29:03
Definitely I it was the perfect time for me to sit down because
29:07
I was about to get a nose bleed. But also like visually and like
29:15
obviously vocally just absolutely outstanding.
29:18
Phenomenal, phenomenal. I hate your guts.
29:21
Hate your guts. Sorry.
29:24
Phenomenal that, but specifically the banter.
29:29
Yeah, have you seen the staging of Hey, You'll get a smash.
29:32
No, I. Haven't.
29:33
I'll say Dougie. Dougie and Matt come into the
29:36
audience and they stand like on like a high.
29:39
I've seen it like shout and like the whole thing is them just
29:43
shouting pure hatred at each other.
29:45
I think it's the best because there's no hatred there.
29:48
What's so funny? They're just so good at, like,
29:51
they've been pinned against each other like by the media so many
29:54
times. They were pinned against each
29:56
other by me when McFly first came out.
29:58
Oh my God, they want to be busted.
29:59
Yeah, we were totally on that waggon.
30:03
Who are these boys? Why are they trying to take
30:05
over? I loved all the like, the
30:09
slagging each other off. I was there.
30:11
I love both bands so equally, but just them slag like Matt
30:16
coming out and saying we were going to ask one of Busted to
30:21
step in to be James, but James was like, absolutely not.
30:25
I'd rather have Jedward like that was so funny.
30:28
And then he, Oh my God, can. You imagine if Jedward came out?
30:31
Oh my. God and the fact that he was
30:34
like Pete, we call them PG Busted.
30:37
I just thought it was so funny. Just the band 2 bands were
30:40
amazing. He also enjoyed the Matt sucks
30:44
Matt Sucks Chan and the Doggy's got a small Dick.
30:49
Yeah, so they did. So when I was there, they did,
30:53
they did it. But they did like magic wands
30:55
because they were the witches. And Dougie, like, flicked his
30:59
wand and Matt's mic went like, really?
31:02
High. Pitched Yeah, I've seen that
31:04
idea. So.
31:06
And he didn't know it was going to happen, did he?
31:08
Like he looked really shocked. Yeah, the whole do you know
31:11
what? It's so nice because like the
31:12
whole of the O2 were like roaring with laughter.
31:15
Yeah, like it wasn't just singing, do you know what I
31:18
mean? It was like we were all just
31:19
like pissing. This is like what I love about
31:21
them. They're just so they are.
31:23
They're just good stage performers.
31:26
Their stage presence is unreal and like if you're at the front,
31:29
they make eye contact with you and they make you.
31:32
You're the only person that you're.
31:33
Like on the eye contact? It's so good.
31:35
It's so funny because it's, it's not just like a few of us that
31:39
feel that way as every single person in the audience is like
31:42
waiting for them to. And even if they don't look at
31:44
you, they might be looking at someone behind you.
31:46
You're like, the heck to me. They looked at me.
31:47
Oh, we're going to look to me. But it's.
31:49
Not even the girls though. Either they were just.
31:51
Doing it, yeah, yeah, Tom kept going back to.
31:55
Us were like. In the side side pit.
31:58
The girls next to us were like, bearing in mind we're like the
32:01
top of the top of the top of the O2 and at the back the girls
32:04
next to us were like, we've shaved just in case.
32:09
You have to. I've seen no one knows what's
32:11
going to happen. He doesn't know, but I've shaved
32:14
just in case. He's so good, so good.
32:17
The first time I ever saw that being used on a rear was a Young
32:21
Blood concert and I was like, oh.
32:23
There we go. It's every time we go and see a
32:26
band or. Anything like that?
32:27
It's so. 12 hours getting ready. Yeah, my body for you.
32:33
And the other thing that I loved is the heart never lies.
32:36
I can't know the best. I have a tattooed on my body.
32:39
I can't not love that. There's no 100%.
32:42
It's Mcflyerty for breath. But it makes you crying every
32:46
time. I'm like welling up.
32:47
But I was with Steve and his friend Terry.
32:49
And like, I've met Terry a few times.
32:51
She's so lovely, but she's never seen me like in my element
32:55
before. She's only met me like a few
32:57
parties and things and I was just bawling at that moment,
33:01
just literally crying my eyes out.
33:02
It was amazing. So many memorable moments from
33:06
that tour that I think we will all remember apart from you.
33:09
She didn't go, but you know, if you can live vicariously through
33:12
US. Sorry.
33:14
However, I was saying to somebody on TikTok earlier, they
33:18
have to do this again. I know they're saying like, oh,
33:20
it's the end of the saga and all that there.
33:23
There's no way James Bourne is going to let if he gets better.
33:26
I'm not saying if when he gets better, when he gets better,
33:29
there is no way on earth he is not going to want to have his
33:32
say when it comes to busted versus at 5 I'm.
33:35
Going to say Wembley. Wembley, yeah, I wake up Wembley
33:39
okay, where it is, when it is we are going, we'll have to just
33:43
all pitch in together. We'll stay in like a really room
33:46
on the 3rd floor hotel. Yeah, absolutely.
33:49
Yeah, Apt. This week we are revisiting the
33:55
We Are Family segment. If you're new here, this is a
33:59
section of the podcast where we talk about the family members of
34:01
the band and what they have been up to.
34:03
Last time we spent ages talking about Carrie Hope Fletcher, so
34:07
much so that Tea had to cut about 15 minutes of chat.
34:10
So this week we're moving over to the busted side of things.
34:14
Yes, now as you all know, the one and only Mr. James Bourne is
34:18
unfortunately a very poorly right now and on his tour on
34:22
tour, sorry, his place was filled by his little brother
34:24
Chris Bourne. So we thought this week we
34:27
should talk a little bit about this wonderful human and his
34:30
story. Tash, do you know who Chris
34:32
Bourne is or where you might have seen him before?
34:34
Not a clue. Please tell me you know you
34:37
obviously. Know, I do know.
34:37
You obviously know he's his brother.
34:39
Yeah, and I got, I, I've got it up so that we can just have a
34:43
look at him. Oh my God, soaking.
34:45
I'm sorry. That is just a door.
34:46
So obviously we're not on video for this podcast, but I'm
34:49
showing Tasha right now a picture of Chris Bourne in the
34:52
year 3000 video with his white lab coat, his little bow tie and
34:57
his bleach blonde hair and his geeky glasses.
35:00
Shamon, do you want to tell everybody what Chris Borne's
35:02
Halloween costume was in the? Area yeah, he dressed up as that
35:07
kid from the 3000 music video and it's so funny because you
35:10
could tell the like the partners of the real fans and like in the
35:16
in the audience because there are people that are like what
35:18
was he dressed up as like what was.
35:20
He dressed up as from. From like the.
35:23
Future. And then there were other people
35:26
that were like, oh, my God, he's dressed up as the kid from year
35:28
3000. Yeah.
35:29
Which is him? So which?
35:31
Is him, yeah, yeah. He also Co wrote some songs with
35:36
James for Five Seconds of Summer.
35:39
He released a song called Music from the 80s in 2016 and him and
35:44
James also released a song together called Mohawk under the
35:49
band name The Born Insanity which is actually bizarre name.
35:53
Didn't know this. Yeah, I listened to the first
35:56
time tonight. I knew about music from the 80s
35:59
and I knew about the five seconds of summer writing, but I
36:01
did not know this. How cool, I was going to listen.
36:03
It's it's pretty, it's actually very good.
36:06
It's like really chill vibes. Like think solo James, like
36:12
Future Boy. It's very, very good.
36:15
I love that as a family full of talent.
36:18
And you know what is not even just the borns that they all
36:22
have. So like and This is why we added
36:24
the We are family like section of the broadcast because there's
36:27
always someone to talk about like Tom's family.
36:30
The hands down are just all of them just do something and
36:33
they're all performers or writers or, you know, they do
36:35
music or whatever. And then, you know, you've got
36:37
Emma Willis, like Matt and Emma just amazing icons.
36:41
Yeah, exactly. And then you've got Georgia he's
36:44
doing so much work with at the moment.
36:46
And Izzy like they do so much charity work and things like
36:49
that as well. Like, and they've all got there
36:50
at some. I think George is doing work
36:52
with Marks and Spencer's at the moment where she's doing like a
36:54
clothes. Is it like some sort of clothing
36:57
line? I've I've been reading about it
36:59
and I'm sure they'll they'll all come up on this segment
37:01
eventually, but. That's Harry and G are currently
37:03
on their Copperfield track across.
37:05
I can't remember where they're tracking but it's like a 100
37:08
mile track or something. Massive, absolutely amazing.
37:12
And I just thought this this section is just nice to add in
37:15
and talk a little bit about them.
37:16
But yeah, Chris, Chris born stepped in obviously to fill
37:20
James's shoes, which is so nice. Another thing I found out about
37:25
Chris Tash is that he's also a fellow van lifer.
37:29
How? Old is he?
37:30
He's 20. I don't know.
37:33
He's, he's, I mean, he's a bit younger than us.
37:37
Oh well, yeah. I think he's mid 20s, maybe a
37:40
little bit older, but on his actual Instagram page he's got a
37:42
highlight called The Van Life and I literally was stalking him
37:45
earlier and he's, he's yeah, so cute.
37:48
And he spends so much time in Cornwall.
37:50
Really all of his pictures, I'm like, that's Cornwall I.
37:52
Don't think I would recognise him though.
37:55
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what?
37:56
I feel like I need to Google a picture of him because I was on
38:00
his Instagram earlier and I didn't realise how attractive he
38:05
is with the long hair. It is so funny.
38:08
So on tour when he came out on stage and everyone started
38:11
screaming, Matt went, huh, bad time to have a girlfriend right
38:15
now, isn't it? So all the girls from the
38:18
audience are screaming. So he looks like I'm showing
38:20
Tash pictures at the moment. He looks like he's got short
38:23
hair at the moment. So he looks a bit more like
38:25
this. But when I came, Shannon, I'm
38:28
going to turn you around so you can see this picture of him
38:30
because I think he will also appreciate this picture.
38:32
Can you see? It's like a slightly.
38:34
Clean, I don't know where, literally I like.
38:37
And I was sexy, clean tar. We we spoke to Chris.
38:40
Like we were having a lot of interaction with Chris when we
38:43
watched. And I took a lot of photos of
38:45
him and like, we were properly screaming at him.
38:48
Yeah. And there's so many pictures of
38:49
him with James and it's so adorable.
38:50
Look at this one. But yeah, him with Chris born
38:54
with long hair, guys who knew it, Please, if you haven't seen
38:56
him, please go and Google it right now because he will not.
38:59
Honestly, he will not regret it. Yeah.
39:02
Fellow van lifer. Obviously, me and Tash both had
39:05
a van at some point. Sad face.
39:06
If not, we don't. I don't have them anymore.
39:08
Shan, I wondered whether you've ever thought about living the
39:11
van life. I know you've got kids and
39:13
stuff, but if you if it was feasible for you, is it
39:15
something that you would like to do?
39:17
We actually genuinely thought about it at one point.
39:21
But yeah, when me and Bradley got together, we were like very
39:26
pregnant, very soon, so. It's.
39:28
Never been. It's never really been a
39:33
something in our future, but it is one of those things that you
39:36
think, ohh, when the kids are all grown up and.
39:39
Moved and we're old and we're retired and.
39:42
Yeah, it is. It is one of those things like
39:44
like the VAT, but maybe not like like your your two vans were
39:49
very I'm I'm thinking more you. Want an RV?
39:52
'S caravan. Yeah, like literally yeah.
39:54
Like touch. And you want an RV, like
39:56
something you can properly live in on the road and just go,
39:59
yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I loved your vans, but I
40:02
don't think 90 year old me will love your vans.
40:06
Not the big step to get into the transit.
40:07
You touch a slow roof. You couldn't.
40:09
Stand up in mine. No, that was one thing about
40:11
mine that was good. You could stand up in it.
40:13
But if I had the money, I would get a really posh one.
40:16
Yeah, I would just bugger off. It's time for Song of the Week.
40:24
Thank you for introducing our main segment like a pro.
40:29
This week's song is Room on the 3rd Floor, which was written by
40:34
Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, with occasional songwriting
40:37
contributions from the other band members, Harry and Dougie
40:40
and Busted's James Bourne. As we know, James has chimed in
40:44
on a few of the McFly songs over the years.
40:47
This song was released as a single in November 15th, 2004,
40:51
and the album was released earlier that year.
40:54
So we know from listening to this song that it's obviously
40:58
telling a story and it's pretty obvious what it's about, but
41:01
does anybody know the actual story behind this?
41:04
Wasn't it like one of the first places that they stayed or
41:07
something as a band and then. Yeah, they were like writing
41:11
their album in a hotel. They wrote.
41:13
Yeah, it was. It was actually the the
41:16
Intercontinental in London and they were staying in room 363
41:20
and they were finding it very tedious because they had to stay
41:24
there for I think they said they were there for like 3 or 4
41:25
months. They were literally staying like
41:27
in the same hotel room for that long and they were just writing
41:31
about their experiences and like how, you know, all the things
41:34
that they went through while they were there and turned it
41:36
into this amazing song. And apparently they had a really
41:40
annoying room service maid, which is they when they write
41:43
about the do not disturb sign being on on the door on the
41:46
floor and. Imagine being that maid.
41:50
Yeah, but at the time it was 2004, nobody knew who they were.
41:53
They were just like, now for. Yeah, For dweevy little guys.
41:57
Yeah, but I think that about Busted.
41:58
Imagine being Miss McKenzie. Yeah.
42:00
Oh my God, yeah. We've covered that story,
42:02
haven't we, Shan? On Episode 2, I think it was
42:04
about the real life Miss McKenzie.
42:06
But I'd love imagine somebody writing a song about you and
42:09
then it being Matt Busted. Yeah.
42:13
So in this section of the podcast, what we normally do to
42:16
hush is we rate our song out of 10.
42:19
We explain why we've given it, the rating that we've given it,
42:22
and we usually try and talk about the things that we like
42:24
about the song, things that we don't like about the song, and
42:26
sort of obviously give the reasons for our rating.
42:29
Shan, do you want to go first? Normally I have thought about it
42:33
and I haven't. So off the cuff today, off the
42:39
cuff I would say I would probably give it don't hate me 5
42:45
out of 10. She said I hate.
42:47
She literally says this every week.
42:48
Don't hate me, don't hate me, don't hate me.
42:51
But yeah. She also said 5 colours in her
42:54
hair is a skip song. I actually agreed with her.
42:56
Yeah, we discussed that. Okay with you guys.
42:59
I'm not sure I can carry you. Gotta be in the mood for five
43:01
colours. Yeah, true.
43:02
It's. Not a 5 out of 10 because it's a
43:04
bad song, it's a 5 out of 10 because there's so many better
43:07
songs. And.
43:08
Even not even like not I'm not even saying newer, but like on
43:12
this album, it would probably be in my bottom half of the album
43:16
because there's so many good songs on this album as well.
43:19
It's not even about like. This is why it's really tricky
43:22
when you're doing like the songs in order, because we're starting
43:25
from so early on as well and there are so many more songs to
43:28
come that you almost like lower rank because you know what's
43:32
coming. Yeah, but it's.
43:33
Progression. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
43:35
Go then Tash, give us your ratings out of 10.
43:38
I'm going to go for a solid 7. Right.
43:42
I really like, it's one of those songs that I do skip, but I love
43:48
it. And I feel like, yeah.
43:51
And I feel like they still play it at their tours occasionally.
43:56
And I think it's one of those songs where you like, they still
44:00
play it now. This far on with all their good
44:03
songs that they've got, they still play it.
44:05
And I think it's such a nice little touch that they remember
44:07
where they've come from. And like with all the like, your
44:12
X Factor and the voice and whatever, like, I think it just
44:15
goes to show that they were so raw and done it all themselves.
44:19
And I think it's just a little reminder that they done that.
44:23
And like when you listen. Yeah.
44:26
And when you listen to the lyrics, like they are such good
44:28
lyrics. Yeah, they're clever.
44:29
And like, yeah, it is a bit of one of those songs where it's a
44:32
little bit boring and you're like, oh, just want to listen to
44:34
Stargirl or something a little bit more upbeat.
44:36
But I think it's just cleverly written.
44:39
And it does. You can definitely see the James
44:42
born in there as well. Oh yeah, definitely.
44:45
I think it's such a visual song, like I can see the storyline
44:49
playing out in my head. Literally I've said the exact
44:52
same thing. Yeah, you can see them sitting
44:53
there, can't you? On a, didn't you?
44:54
Can you can't close and we we go on to talk about the music video
44:58
a little bit later on in this episode, so we won't give too
45:00
much away. But I I agree, I agree with Tash
45:06
more than you shall. I think it's definitely more of
45:08
a 7 on my on my rating scale because I don't often skip this
45:13
song. I do love it because I if I do
45:15
skip it when it does come on and I like wait it out, I always
45:20
love listening to it, but sometimes I hear the beginning
45:24
and I'm like, OK, I'm really in am I in this mood?
45:28
Like, but there's there's songs like that with every artist you
45:31
know, and it doesn't mean you don't like the song.
45:33
It's just depends on the mood you're in.
45:35
But more often than not I will listen to it.
45:37
And then by the na na, na, na, na, I'm laughing in the car and
45:42
I'm like screaming at the top of my legs doing every part.
45:48
Paul Molly is in the back like looking at me like what the hell
45:51
is going on? Mum, why are we not listening to
45:53
Miss Rachel? Thank you very much.
45:55
Mummy's time. Yeah, sorry.
45:57
In the car we listen to Mummy's music.
46:00
But yeah, I, I agree. I think it's a solid 7 out of
46:02
10. I think there are definitely
46:04
better songs, but I think the way I feel and the things I see
46:09
and like I'm hearing it live. Like we've talked so many times,
46:11
like the last few songs we've done, we vote, we've like rated
46:15
it like what you what it is when you listen to it in the car or
46:18
on your headphones or whatever. And then what it is like when
46:21
you listen. Yeah.
46:22
When it's live, like you said, like with five colours, it was
46:25
like, well, didn't you rate it like a four or something or A5?
46:28
That's quite low. Yeah.
46:29
And then it was like a 10 live because you cannot, you can't
46:33
not like that song when it's live.
46:34
It's. The complete we love.
46:36
The originals we love. Them oh so good, so good.
46:41
First up then, let's enter the Lyric lab.
46:44
So it's not the most loved song from this album by fans and I
46:48
know a lot of people that do skip it and obviously we've
46:50
given our ratings as well. However, I do really love it and
46:53
I think it's for me because it's a storytelling song.
46:56
And Shan, you just said that in our last section.
46:59
It makes you picture it in your head when they're singing it and
47:04
it sounds really funny, but it actually reminds me of like all
47:07
the really dodgy hotels and like Airbnb's I've stayed in and I
47:11
almost like think about those when I hear the song.
47:14
When we went to Cardiff, Shandy, remember we stayed in an Airbnb
47:17
in Cardiff and it was awful. With Tamara, can you remember
47:21
you slept on the sofa bed and the sofa bed was diabolic?
47:25
Broken and Tamara's bed had a pin in the middle of.
47:29
It it like it was the spring and it had come up.
47:32
Through the monstrous and. She got in the bed and it like
47:34
scratched all the leg and she was.
47:35
Like, oh, she didn't. Get that it was disgusting and
47:37
obviously there's A1 bed is broken.
47:40
Every time I hear that line, I picture you on that sofa bed
47:43
like it's coming apart. Yeah.
47:46
It was. It was awful.
47:47
Literally I yeah, I love, I love the memories that I get with it.
47:52
I love, like the picture that I get in my head.
47:54
I think my favourite lyric in this one is the, and outside
47:58
it's raining and the guests upstairs complaining.
48:01
I just love like the, it's almost like a little head
48:04
banging moment. And then he says about the room
48:07
that's got their TV too loud. And I just wanted to say it's
48:10
very relatable because I'm that person.
48:12
I'm the one that goes down to reception and says excuse me,
48:16
but the room next door to mine is being very loud and I'm
48:18
trying to sleep because has the TV and you know what?
48:21
I nearly wrote this down. Tasha nearly wrote down and
48:24
Tasha is the opposite. Tasha is the one with the TV on
48:27
listening. To room on the first floor.
48:29
But The thing is with she's very respectable.
48:31
When she's had parties in the past, she does always say, just
48:34
to let you know, I'm having a few people over this evening.
48:37
If we're too loud, just tell me. Tell me and I'll ignore you.
48:40
Yeah, I don't have to tell you. I don't think once when people.
48:44
Because you're invited. Yeah, well I am invited by more
48:47
so not a party person, so usually I stay for an hour and
48:50
then I go home just to show my face.
48:52
But yeah, I like that. I like that section.
48:55
I think that that bits quite fun.
48:58
What about you? Either of you got any bits of
49:00
that song lyrically? Talking of the lyrics in
49:03
general, the and going back to like the whole James Bourne
49:06
influence, I think this storytelling aspect of it is so
49:10
James Bond. If you think of other songs he's
49:12
written, even like I think we said about it the other day, his
49:15
son of Dork songs, Yeah, like everything he writes is so like
49:19
story driven. Yeah, it is.
49:22
I you can just, like, visualise everything he's saying, even if
49:26
you think it's a 5 out of 10 like I do.
49:29
Yeah, yeah. And there's no way you can't
49:32
enjoy the lyrics even if the song isn't doesn't hit as hard
49:36
as the others. 100 percent, 100%, I think it's like.
49:39
The sorry I. Was just going to say I think
49:41
like our, our like generation of songwriters are very lyrically
49:47
like story based lyricists, if that makes sense.
49:50
Like we've spoken before about our love for Miss miss Taylor
49:54
Swift. And finally, we're pulling,
49:56
we're pulling Tasha on board on the the Taylor Swift train.
49:59
Thanks to the summer I turn pretty, which I'm sorry if you
50:03
haven't watched that, you will. Shall we start another?
50:05
Yeah, you'll watch. Shall I start one?
50:07
And we literally said the other week, we're like, we need to
50:09
stop talking about this now because it's going to turn into
50:11
something else. But again, it's the lyricism
50:14
behind it. They are storytellers.
50:15
And then, and I think our generation like that, I think we
50:18
come from, you know, we grew up in, in an age where we were
50:23
outside all the time and we were, you know, climbing trees
50:26
and outside having fun and all of these things.
50:28
But we've also grown up with like technology and, and like
50:33
had to deal with the pressures of social media and all that.
50:36
So, like, I think we've experienced so much that we do
50:40
almost have to tell a story about our lives and what we've
50:43
been through and things. And definitely a James Bond
50:46
thing 100. Percent, 100%.
50:48
What's the son of Dork song where he's talking about Party's
50:52
Over? Can you remember that one?
50:54
I just watched my girlfriend get laid on the sofa.
50:59
Does that seem weird to you? I know there.
51:04
Does actually that whole story, that whole song tells the story
51:07
about what happened at this party and how he feels about it,
51:10
and that's very similar to to this, definitely.
51:13
I think that's one thing that gets overlooked.
51:15
You know, like when you do tell people that you're a McFly.
51:18
Oh God, I'm 100. Percent and they're like Oh my
51:20
God, but you're like yes, but what you obviously like you just
51:23
don't appreciate that they've written all those they pay all
51:26
their own instruments like you listen to some of the songs
51:29
that. Haven't been released.
51:30
You listen to Five Colours in In Her Hair and Star Girl and Yeah.
51:34
But I'm like, I will always be right about this.
51:36
Just open your ears. And listen, yeah, you will never
51:39
win this conversation. Also, you know it's true because
51:43
Danny and Charlie both won the Masked Singer when?
51:46
No, when they weren't singing McFly.
51:47
Song video Who they were. Bastard songs because they have
51:51
a reputation for being a boy band or yeah, fun band, do you
51:55
know what I mean? Like, yeah, serious and people
51:57
don't take them serious lyrically or talently because of
52:03
the hits they bring out. It's like to bring her up again.
52:06
Taylor Swift, people like my partner included know Shake It
52:10
Off and I have trouble and they think that she's yeah because of
52:17
those songs. But actually, if you actually
52:18
deep dived, not that you would because you're not a fan, but if
52:22
you did deep dive, you'd realise that.
52:24
Yeah, exactly. I think that's what I can do is
52:27
like you heard on on the TV programme, we heard some
52:30
different sides to Taylor Swift and I came in, I literally
52:33
walked into Tasha's house and dress was playing and I was
52:35
like. Oh my God, so fast song it.
52:38
Just means I mean it paired paired with the scene.
52:41
Oh. So good.
52:42
I still think about that, and I watched it ages ago.
52:44
I think we all do. I don't think.
52:46
That I don't think any of us are ever getting over that.
52:48
Anyway, moving on. OK, I think it's probably time
52:54
that we move on to talk about the music video.
52:58
So let's move on to All Eyes on McFly.
53:00
This is the section of the podcast where we talk about
53:02
music videos that go along with these songs.
53:04
What on earth were they thinking when they made this music video
53:08
just put now? I think someone just couldn't be
53:11
bothered, could they? They're like, here we go.
53:13
Small budget, guys, Very, very small budget, yeah.
53:17
Yeah, I think it was like we are trending, we need to get a video
53:21
out. What can we do?
53:23
Also. They were like this.
53:25
They've done such a dirty on the roadie, didn't they?
53:28
Poor gays on the roadie. Yeah.
53:30
So it's like the box, obviously. The box of like the plastic toys
53:33
that you break up and fix together.
53:35
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you've got so you've
53:38
got obviously McFly, then you've got a roadie.
53:42
And it's like this big gaze who's like just just your
53:45
stereotypical roadie. And I was like just.
53:47
Can't get me. And then the and then the.
53:50
Naughties Back to the naughties when we were allowed to do
53:53
stereotypes. And then the fan is this girl
53:55
with her little high heels on and her legs, which is just
53:57
like, I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm like that now, but
54:00
yeah, the poor roadie. But.
54:02
It's a very strange video. It is, but I still think that if
54:05
they sold those I would have bought. 1.
54:07
Oh yeah, 100%. Oh yeah.
54:09
We literally just saying that before we started the podcast,
54:11
we. I just said before we started,
54:12
have we? We all watched the video and I
54:14
was just like, yeah, I watched it and I was talking about how
54:17
weird it is, these little plastic.
54:18
The first thing she said was I'd buy one.
54:21
Yeah, I think. I would have.
54:22
I think I, it's, I mean, it's definitely not my favourite
54:26
video of theirs. I think it's definitely like
54:28
towards the bottom of videos 100%, but I just, I think for
54:33
me, I feel like they just missed a massive opportunity to make a
54:36
really good music video. I think that's what it is.
54:38
So if the song wasn't so visual then it wouldn't be a problem.
54:43
But the song tells the story itself.
54:45
Why have you ignored the story? Yeah, we start.
54:47
A petition for them to do another.
54:49
Remake the. Music.
54:51
So many petitions coming out now.
54:53
Yeah. I think it would be so visually
54:55
beautiful as well. Like to see them all like what
54:59
their tour life was like back then.
55:01
Or not even tour life. What their writing life was
55:03
like, because obviously they were writing the album, so it
55:05
wasn't even like they were famous.
55:06
They were staying in this really crappy hotel and I just think it
55:10
would have been a really nice, like little peek into what their
55:12
lives were actually like and they just missed, missed out on
55:15
it. Almost see like the lighting.
55:17
Can't you be in that? Like Harry Pottery?
55:20
Like dark? Do you know what I mean?
55:22
Dingy, dingy, like a really grey.
55:25
You know, like, like the first Twilight film.
55:28
Oh my God, oh we someone talking to the movie.
55:31
The philtre is on the whole movie.
55:34
Oh yeah, the whole first movie is just grey actually, yeah, I'm
55:40
I mean that's there's not a lot else to say about this music
55:42
video to be completely honest. It's a very short section.
55:45
But yes, McFly, this was not your best.
55:49
If any of you guys listening have your any opinions on this
55:52
music video and think we are completely and us need a wrong
55:54
and love it please let us know in the comments because it would
55:57
be really interesting to hear the opposite.

56:46
quizzes so you can pop on there on a Wednesday before the

56:52
OK, so question number one is before McFly.
56:57
Shannon, you're not allowed to answer this.
56:58
I think Tasha needs to answer this.
57:00
It was pretty obvious before McFly.
57:02
Tom Fletcher was almost in another pop band.
57:06
Which one was it? Was it a busted B Blue C Blazing
57:14
squad? I really want the answer to be
57:17
Blazing Squad, but. Obviously man that is bastard
57:22
and then I just would love 21 member squad it.
57:26
Would be a revelation. Fit right in, wouldn't it?
57:29
And congratulations, you are correct.
57:32
The answer is a a busted good. OK.
57:35
Shan, do you want to go read Question 2?
57:38
Yeah, so Mcfly's debut single, Five Colours and a Hair hit
57:42
number one in 2004. But who was a song inspired by a
57:49
A girl from TVBA, hairdresser from Slough.
57:53
We'll C Daddy's old, Daddy Danny's old.
57:58
Honey, you can call him. We've all called him Daddy.
58:01
Maybe not on on a live podcast, but we have in my dreams.
58:06
Daddy's a science teacher. I can't get over that.
58:11
Can I just bring up the the video of Harry Styles answering
58:15
Daddy question mark on the have you seen that video?
58:19
There's a tour, one of his tours where this guy had written Daddy
58:23
question mark on a board. Yes.
58:25
And Harry saw it and pointed to it, and he went yes, no.
58:29
I don't think it has this so. Funny, he literally says.
58:32
All I've got to say is yes. Yes.
58:35
I'll happily call call Danny Jones Daddy, if you wanted to
58:38
put it that way, that's fine. Anyway, Tash, what do you think?
58:42
I actually don't know this. I again I really want the answer
58:45
to be a hairdresser and slap but.
58:47
I love that, yeah. I think it's got to be a girl
58:51
from TV, hasn't it? Correct.
58:53
Do you know who it is Chan or or you Tash What?
58:56
What girl from TV it was? I always assume it's Avril
59:03
Lavigne. I always assume.
59:05
It's no, it would be good if it was Avril Lavigne.
59:07
You can see that happening. So there was actually a show
59:10
back in the naughties and late 90s called as if, I don't know
59:14
whether any of you saw it, but there's a girl, a character on
59:18
there called Susie. And she had colourful, colourful
59:23
hair. And they, they all loved her.
59:26
And they, yeah, they had like a little, little schoolboy crush
59:29
on Susie from As if. So that's where that song came
59:32
from. Love.
59:32
That so when I go to the hairdressers next I just bring
59:35
in a picture of her. Yeah, of her, yeah.
59:38
OK. Tash, do you want to read
59:39
Question 3? Yeah, the album room on the 3rd
59:43
floor is named after A a Travelodge where they recorded
59:46
demos, B the room Tom was staying in while writing.
59:50
Or CA metaphor for the space between planets, but make it pop
59:54
punk. What do you think, Shan?
59:57
Pretty easy. Well, I know it's B, but I
1:00:01
really want it to be C. There are other hotel trains
1:00:05
available, not. The plan for the Travelodge,
1:00:11
Yes. Obviously.
1:00:12
It was, it was about the room that Tom was staying in while
1:00:15
writing and he wasn't on his own.
1:00:16
He was with Danny and I think the others were there as well.
1:00:18
So although it does, it does sound a little bit like a dodgy
1:00:22
Airbnb when they're singing it. I think we can all picture that
1:00:24
in our minds. And question #4 the great
1:00:29
Alliance. Sir Tasha want to read this one?
1:00:31
Yes, in 2014 McFly joined forces with Busted.
1:00:35
What name did this pop super group go by and who was missing
1:00:38
from the original bands? Shannon, if you get this wrong
1:00:42
I'm disowning you and I'm inviting someone else to be my
1:00:45
Co host. Oh no.
1:00:48
What could that band possible Mcbusted?
1:00:53
And who was missing? Matt, right?
1:01:00
Charlie definitely CCCC. OK, question #5 Shannon read it
1:01:08
for Tash. So finish the lyric.
1:01:12
She doesn't know that I'm a virgin in the kitchen.
1:01:16
Because it's normally Mama. Oh yeah, what's a banger?
1:01:22
And that lyric is from the song Broccoli Broccoli Yes, one of
1:01:26
our absolute favourites. Amazing.
1:01:28
Well done girls. You are most definitely part of
1:01:31
We want to see defendants biggest McFly yes in the world

1:01:40
Oh dear. OK, that's it, Galaxy Defenders.

1:01:45

1:01:49
