• 1:05
  and have a bit of general chit chat about what we've been up to
• 1:08
  this week. And yeah, just introduce
• 1:10
  ourselves to everybody. So you probably already know my
• 1:14
  name is Taylor. I am a 30 something.
• 1:16
  I don't like to give away my actual age, Mum.
• 1:19
  Of a little girl. Yes, yes, I am a teacher and I
• 1:22
  am a big lover of McFly and Busted.
• 1:25
  Shannon, do you want to introduce yourself to the band?
• 1:27
  I feel like I could just copy and paste that.
• 1:30
  You probably said that's why we get on so well.
• 1:34
  Yeah, Sham. I'm a 30 something.
• 1:36
  I'm. I'm not scared.
• 1:38
  I'm 32, thank you very much. Oh.
• 1:39
  Yeah, but you've given mine away because people know that we're
• 1:41
  the same age. That's fine, that's fine.
• 1:45
  Yeah, mum of two and yeah, big fan of McFly and Buster.
• 1:49
  There's not really much more about me.
• 1:51
  That is literally my whole personality.
• 1:55
  My whole personality is just nostalgia and children.
• 2:00
  So let's come over to you guys then.
• 2:02
  Do you guys want to introduce yourselves, tell us what your
• 2:05
  name is and what you do in the band?
• 2:07
  If we start with Rob, then we'll go to Ali, then we'll go to
• 2:10
  Ryan's. That work OK.
• 2:12
  Yeah, yeah, so good. So believe it or not, I'm Rob.
• 2:15
  I play bass in Wednesday at 7:00.
• 2:18
  I attempt backing vocals intermittently as well.
• 2:23
  I'm also 30 something. I will reveal my age as there's
• 2:27
  some sort of game. So you've got 5 seconds to guess
• 2:31
  and. 3. Oh yeah, bang on.
• 2:34
  There you go. They won.
• 2:35
  You've won. You've won absolutely nothing.
• 2:38
  Oh damn. It never mind.
• 2:43
  Amazing. Super.
• 2:44
  Thank you, Rob. Ali, do you want to introduce
• 2:46
  yourself to everybody? Yeah, hello.
• 2:48
  I'm Ali. I am the drummer of Wednesday at
• 2:51
  7:00. I am not as as what's the word
• 2:55
  ripe as you guys in Asia. Yeah, I, I didn't.
• 3:00
  I don't wanna be offensive if you see.
• 3:03
  I think you probably could have chosen a better word, but I'll
• 3:05
  let you. Yeah, first time on the podcast.
• 3:07
  Yeah, Do you know what it's I blame?
• 3:10
  I blame ADHD. My brain doesn't work that that
• 3:12
  quick. Yeah.
• 3:13
  Blame your ADHD alright, I always do.
• 3:16
  I've gotta play that card where I can.
• 3:20
  Yeah. I mean, I am pretty much just
• 3:22
  the drums. I don't know.
• 3:23
  I'm not much else in the band. I feel like, to be fair, the
• 3:27
  drums. I am the drums.
• 3:28
  No, you need to have more faith in yourself.
• 3:30
  The drums, the main backbone of a band.
• 3:31
  You are the Harry Judd of Wednesday at 7.
• 3:33
  Do not. Think I am.
• 3:34
  I am. I wish I could be as good as
• 3:36
  Harry Judd, however. But I'm I'm sure one day.
• 3:39
  One day, yeah. There's always room for
• 3:41
  improvement, so yeah, you go. At least you've got your idol to
• 3:44
  look up to. That's all you need.
• 3:45
  Absolutely, yeah. Amazing.
• 3:47
  Thank you. Ali.
• 3:48
  Ryan, do you want to introduce yourself to everyone?
• 3:50
  Hi, I'm Ryan. I'm the singer and guitarist of
• 3:53
  Wednesday at Seven. I'm not a mum.
• 3:58
  What? Really.
• 4:00
  Yeah, believe it or not, I'm the one that sings the songs and
• 4:05
  writes the words and stuff. Yeah, we love it.
• 4:09
  We love it. You are the sound and the stuff.
• 4:13
  Amazing. Thank you so much.
• 4:15
  Our listeners are super excited to learn a little bit more about
• 4:18
  you. We've got lots of stuff going on
• 4:20
  at the moment. I think me and Shannon have been
• 4:23
  busy. Busy bees as always.
• 4:24
  Shannon, what have you been up to this week?
• 4:27
  Absolutely nothing. Nothing contradiction apart from
• 4:31
  like work, mothering and just doom scrolling.
• 4:35
  Although, although what I will say I live for a little rot on
• 4:39
  the sofa, you know, in a doom scrub.
• 4:41
  Yeah. Although I will say I'm very
• 4:44
  much looking forward to this weekend because for the first
• 4:46
  time since September I have a child free day.
• 4:50
  Oh my gosh. So I've been promised a trip.
• 4:53
  Honestly, I'm so excited. I've been promised a trip to
• 4:55
  Home Bargains and Greg's and that's literally all I could
• 4:57
  ever ask. Oh, wow.
• 4:59
  I mean, that is, yeah. Great.
• 5:04
  Do you know what's really sad? Do it again.
• 5:08
  Go on, Ryan. I'll let you do it again.
• 5:10
  OK, my name is Ryan and I'm a Greg's addict.
• 5:15
  Instead of the stuff it's in Greg's.
• 5:18
  The first, the first step to addiction is saying it out loud,
• 5:21
  so well done. Ryan, we're proud of you.
• 5:23
  Oh. Do you want to know something
• 5:25
  really sad? There's no Greg's in Cornwall.
• 5:27
  Like, not one. What?
• 5:29
  Seriously. I do not really liked Cornwall.
• 5:32
  Cool, lovely, right? Don't get me wrong, but there's
• 5:35
  no. Bringing.
• 5:35
  That's why no one, that's why no bands goes to Cornwall, That's
• 5:39
  why no. Yeah.
• 5:40
  'Cause there's no gregs. There's Gregs on everyone's
• 5:43
  roster that's. It Oh my God, honestly it's so
• 5:46
  frustrating. Like all I want is a bloody
• 5:48
  sausage roll. Like you know, that's it.
• 5:50
  That's all I need. Oh God.
• 5:53
  Well, that sounds exciting. Shannon.
• 5:54
  I'm up for a, a home bargains trip.
• 5:56
  Actually spent about half an hour there today.
• 5:58
  So, you know, love that I do not have a child free weekend.
• 6:02
  I have a 2 year old's birthday party to to attend to and last
• 6:05
  weekend I went to a one year old's birthday party.
• 6:07
  So you know, all things fun on my end over.
• 6:10
  Here you'll be with my kids this weekend because they are also
• 6:13
  going to the same birthday party.
• 6:15
  I will be. They are. 2nd mothering your
• 6:18
  children. Yes, that's all.
• 6:20
  My children are fine. Going to be living on ice cream
• 6:23
  and party rings. That's pretty much the only
• 6:24
  thing that's getting my brain through the weekend.
• 6:27
  It's all good, it's all good. Guys.
• 6:30
  What have you guys been up to? Have you done any sort of
• 6:32
  musical things? Beginning of this year,
• 6:34
  obviously we're only a few weeks into 2026.
• 6:37
  Have you had any gigs yet or have you got any plans?
• 6:40
  No, we've not really done much so far this year.
• 6:43
  We've had a little bit of a break after the the tour that we
• 6:46
  did the end of last year. Nice.
• 6:49
  I think we've all been quite busy, you know, as individual
• 6:52
  peoples, but we are starting to make progress and arrange things
• 6:59
  so that we can start working on new shiny things for people.
• 7:03
  Love it, so exciting. I always find the first like
• 7:07
  couple of weeks of the year really difficult.
• 7:10
  I feel like my brain is still in Christmas mode and I'm trying to
• 7:13
  like drag it off the sofa and kick.
• 7:16
  It hard reset. Yeah, I've really.
• 7:18
  It really is, isn't it? And it's like, Oh my God, how do
• 7:20
  I actually start doing things? I have like a little small
• 7:23
  business where I sell jewellery that I make and I'm like booking
• 7:26
  markets. And I feel like that's probably
• 7:28
  the same thing as like booking a gig, except you're guaranteed to
• 7:31
  get paid and I'm not. So you've probably got, you've
• 7:34
  got the better end of the deal here, but it's so.
• 7:37
  Stressful. Get paid for gigs.
• 7:41
  And not just voluntary. To be fair, I mean me and
• 7:44
  Shannon had our day. So me and Shannon are actually
• 7:47
  musical theatre graduates and back in the day we used to do a
• 7:50
  lot of busking, didn't you Shannon?
• 7:53
  We did love a bus and we used to live in Bristol and we did, we
• 7:57
  did a couple of very small paid gigs.
• 7:59
  I think we aren't like £20 for the one.
• 8:02
  If that. One or two things.
• 8:04
  It was so bad there were about 10 people at both of them, as in
• 8:09
  split, probably 5 at each and one of them was.
• 8:11
  Literally. And most of them were our
• 8:12
  family. Old men, our fam, our family or
• 8:15
  old men literally. And you can probably tell our
• 8:19
  kind of vibe is not old men vibe like they're they do not.
• 8:23
  Appreciate. The songs.
• 8:28
  That we wanted to play. I remember at one point we
• 8:30
  literally said, just to let you all know, we're actually going
• 8:33
  to sing a One Direction song in a minute.
• 8:35
  So yeah, we just wanted to give you a heads up like you can.
• 8:39
  Everybody left. There was nobody in there.
• 8:40
  It was just being shown and singing to ourselves.
• 8:43
  Yeah. So good.
• 8:45
  So fun. Fun and games.
• 8:46
  So fun and games. It's time for this or that.
• 8:52
  If you're new here, where have you been?
• 8:54
  But this is the section of the podcast where we share
• 8:56
  interesting or weird this or that's where we haven't shown
• 8:59
  each other our choices. So this week, Wednesday at 7
• 9:03
  have picked one for us and we have picked one for you.
• 9:07
  So who wants to go first? Do we want to put them in the
• 9:09
  spotlight first, Shan, or do you want to let them off easy?
• 9:13
  So Shannon's going to read you our first this or that.
• 9:15
  Off you go, Shan. OK, so a burned mix CD from
• 9:20
  Limewire with Sharpie labels and all of that Or an iPod nano
• 9:25
  click wheel playlist? OK, do you need to confer?
• 9:34
  I mean, I know my answer. Go on then, Rob, give us your
• 9:37
  answer. Are going strong.
• 9:39
  So it's a tough one. I mean, I highly rate the iPod,
• 9:42
  which seems to have it's a it's a relic though, isn't it?
• 9:45
  An iPod? However, the burned mixed CDs.
• 9:50
  When I got my first car, it was littered with all these
• 9:54
  different CDs that I've made and they weren't just like a copy of
• 10:01
  like an album because my dad was in it like insistent.
• 10:03
  But if you had an actual CD in your car then it was a target
• 10:06
  for thieves so they'd break in to steal your CDs.
• 10:10
  So he's like make copies, not not.
• 10:12
  The CD player, the CDs. Themselves, yeah, Honestly, I
• 10:17
  don't get it. But I followed his rules.
• 10:20
  So yeah, I'd have like copies of CDs.
• 10:24
  But then then I went to my DJ phase where I made master mixes
• 10:28
  of all my favourite songs and I actually found them recently
• 10:33
  when I emptied the loft. So I have got CDs titled like
• 10:38
  Rock mix and Indie mix. And yeah, honestly, like it's a
• 10:44
  no brainer that one for me because I've put so much
• 10:46
  dedication into my history of CDs with Sharpie labels.
• 10:50
  So I wish I still had all of mine because I had so many.
• 10:53
  OK, let's go to Ali. Ali, do you want to tell us what
• 10:56
  your choice would have been? Yeah, so I'm afraid I do have to
• 11:00
  go with the iPod. It it pains me.
• 11:04
  It pains me a little bit because like I do love a Burn CDI.
• 11:08
  Think it it is definitely that pure nostalgia.
• 11:11
  It's, I feel awful choosing technology over, over the, you
• 11:14
  know, the, I'd say the hardcore. Music.
• 11:16
  The nano click I think is like really the the click from the
• 11:20
  iPod nano with the the little wheel is like a really lovely
• 11:25
  sound. Does that make sense?
• 11:27
  It's really therapeutic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 11:31
  Yeah. I, but I used to have more like,
• 11:33
  I know, I know we're doing the click wheel here, but I used to
• 11:36
  have this, that tiny little iPod that was like, I don't even know
• 11:39
  how to describe it. It was like a couple centimetres
• 11:41
  wide and it was this tiny little clip that you would put on and I
• 11:44
  used to have it engraved. With my name, yeah.
• 11:47
  It's the. IPod Shuffle.
• 11:50
  It's something like that, yeah, the iPod shuffle.
• 11:52
  Yeah, that was my favourite. No screen, no, not at all.
• 11:56
  I have no idea how that how that worked at all, but you know, it
• 12:00
  was cool. But yeah, I'm I'm iPod I'm
• 12:02
  afraid. Oh, I love it.
• 12:04
  Do you know what I appreciate it as well because I I think I had
• 12:08
  like the little shuffle and then I have like the nano and then I
• 12:12
  have like the slim line nano. I remember having like all.
• 12:15
  Right, money bags. Yeah, well, Shannon, we, I think
• 12:18
  we've already had the conversation about my iPod nano.
• 12:21
  Do you not remember I told you my export for me and then broke
• 12:24
  up with me like 3 weeks later? It's like you are not getting
• 12:26
  that iPod back maybe. Thanks.
• 12:29
  Oh yeah, I see. I used to, I used to wash my,
• 12:32
  this is horrible. So when I was younger I used to
• 12:34
  wash my older brothers. They had like even just the
• 12:37
  little Bluetooth players and stuff like that.
• 12:39
  They would be dusty and I thought I was doing the best
• 12:41
  thing for them by cleaning them. So I'd wash it in the sink.
• 12:44
  No, Alex. Oh my God.
• 12:49
  Sorry, sorry brothers. Apologies there.
• 12:53
  Oh, my goodness, that's hilarious.
• 12:55
  OK, go on then. Ryan, what do you think?
• 13:00
  I'm going to have to join like the controversial journey here
• 13:04
  and go with the iPod. Reason being reason it.
• 13:09
  Well, fun fact, I didn't actually have an iPod I had
• 13:13
  because it's like the closest thing to what I actually had
• 13:15
  was, you remember those MP3 sticks?
• 13:18
  That was like USP. Had an MP3 player.
• 13:21
  Yes. I had one of those well before
• 13:23
  that I had like a portable CD player that I quickly upgraded
• 13:27
  to the MP3 and literally the same.
• 13:32
  I don't know, I think there's like 30 or 40 songs on it on
• 13:36
  repeat constantly. So for me, that is pure
• 13:40
  nostalgia. Nostalgia, I love that I love
• 13:43
  that I think we all like had like you know what you said then
• 13:46
  about the iPod with click wheel and the noise that it makes and
• 13:49
  how it just takes you back. It's almost like you know when
• 13:51
  you smell something and it reminds you of like a person or
• 13:54
  a time. I genuinely feel that with
• 13:56
  sounds like it's really weird. I can like see myself in my
• 13:59
  bedroom because small little known fact guys, I actually live
• 14:03
  in the same house now that I lived in when I was like
• 14:06
  literally from the age of 1 all the way to like 17.
• 14:09
  I wow live in my old parents house.
• 14:12
  It's really strange they don't live here anymore.
• 14:14
  I live here with my family now. I'm not still living with my
• 14:17
  mum, but it is really nostalgic because my little girl's room,
• 14:22
  it was my old room. So when I was doing it up, I was
• 14:25
  like sitting in there and thinking about like all the
• 14:28
  posters that I used to have and like the different colours that
• 14:31
  the walls used to be. And like I can remember
• 14:33
  specifically my little stereo player being in the little
• 14:37
  cubbyhole in the corner and my stack of CDs, which was Busted.
• 14:41
  Original album, Busted Present for everyone.
• 14:43
  Mcfly's also also room on the 3rd floor.
• 14:46
  Like all of those beginning albums Motion in the Ocean.
• 14:49
  Like, oh, Stack a bit of Avril Lavigne because why the hell
• 14:52
  not? We love Avril Lavigne.
• 14:53
  We love that woman. Pink.
• 14:55
  Misunderstood, obviously. Yes, yes.
• 14:59
  Understood. One of the things that I did
• 15:01
  have a this or that for you, but we went with Shannons because I
• 15:04
  couldn't remember. But I remember that one of the
• 15:06
  options were something to do with the now that's what I call
• 15:09
  music CDs. Didn't you guys ever have those?
• 15:12
  Wow. Yes.
• 15:15
  They were so good. I think now 53 was the one that
• 15:20
  I had because that's the one I remember listening to the most.
• 15:23
  I definitely had that. Definitely.
• 15:24
  I feel like, was that like Christina Aguilera era?
• 15:26
  I thought that might have been her.
• 15:30
  I think the earliest 1 I had was like now 40 something.
• 15:34
  I'm sure I had like the now 40 and I think they went all the
• 15:38
  way up and my my one of my best friends when I was younger was
• 15:41
  still collecting them like only a few years ago.
• 15:44
  Like she was still collecting them.
• 15:45
  I bet she. Literally had like really high
• 15:46
  numbers now. Yeah.
• 15:48
  What? What number is it at now I wanna
• 15:50
  know. I'm literally just looking now.
• 15:52
  Simon, you could be the producer doing the Google it.
• 15:55
  Wouldn't surprise me, Ryan. It really wouldn't.
• 15:58
  I love it. You've got to be in the two
• 15:59
  hundreds, right? Yeah, I reckon.
• 16:01
  Well, I don't know. It depends.
• 16:02
  Is it once a year? Because, I mean, I'm not that
• 16:04
  old, Ali, Even though you were born in the 2000s.
• 16:07
  No, that old I know. I I remember the nows.
• 16:10
  Now. Like a fine wine.
• 16:13
  I really have. I've taken it personally.
• 16:18
  So Now now 122 came out in 2005. Shut up.
• 16:24
  Wow, that's crazy. That's disgusting.
• 16:28
  Is it twice a year they come out?
• 16:30
  It must be twice a year then, because my God, it's not been 50
• 16:32
  years. I definitely had that 40.
• 16:34
  It's not been 50. Years.
• 16:37
  They've got to have skipped some numbers there, surely?
• 16:39
  Yeah, surely. They have to.
• 16:42
  Disgusting. Oh my goodness.
• 16:43
  OK, right. Let's move on then to your this
• 16:46
  or that. Do you want to ask me and Chan
• 16:48
  what your this or that is? Yeah, so I went with scented gel
• 16:55
  pens, you know, the ones that were like the cherry ones, the
• 16:57
  chocolate ones, the everything them or drinks related pencil
• 17:04
  cases, you know, the Pepsi Max, the Leuka's aid.
• 17:08
  Oh my God I definitely had. I had the Coca-Cola 1 and it was
• 17:12
  like a long tube with like flat ends but the zip went like
• 17:15
  around the top part so it almost like popped off the topsy.
• 17:21
  Pringles. You literally was a bit like a
• 17:23
  Pringles tub. I can remember it like it was
• 17:25
  yesterday. It was disgusting.
• 17:26
  I mean, I mean, I was not a popular person at school, so,
• 17:29
  you know, it just added to my weirdness.
• 17:31
  Look at the Kyle. Are you sure?
• 17:34
  Thanks. Babe.
• 17:36
  Hey, we're friends because we're both weirdos.
• 17:38
  It's the only reason I, as much as I did have that pencil case.
• 17:47
  I do definitely think I prefer the gel pens because I remember
• 17:51
  having like a little box with, with all of my gel pens in like
• 17:56
  they have like little grooves that you could like snap them
• 17:58
  into and I used to put them in like gradient of their colours.
• 18:02
  Oh well. You sound like me now I'm.
• 18:04
  Such a loser. Oh my God.
• 18:06
  Honestly why am I saying this live on a podcast?
• 18:08
  People are listening to this? Yeah, no, I'm.
• 18:12
  I'm definitely a gel pen kind of girl.
• 18:13
  What about you, Shan? I would probably say, although
• 18:18
  Bradley would probably say different because I have a very
• 18:21
  unhealthy addiction to Pepsi Max.
• 18:24
  Like. Genuinely, I would probably need
• 18:26
  to see somebody about it. I would probably say scented gel
• 18:31
  pens just because I just remember being deeply unhappy if
• 18:36
  my pens didn't smell. I would be so to say if I no if
• 18:44
  if my parents like bought me gel pens or anything, I'd be like
• 18:47
  what is why they? Smell it?
• 18:48
  Why? Why does this not smell like
• 18:50
  popcorn? Why?
• 18:52
  I'm not using it. Oh my God, I used to love the
• 18:54
  bubble gum one. I used to have a little pink
• 18:56
  bubble gum 1 and it was so good Oh my God.
• 18:59
  We were literally like, like gel pen addicts sniffing them in the
• 19:03
  so great. Oh my God, I love it.
• 19:09
  Oh my God. So for you guys, what would you
• 19:12
  have said if we were to ask you that question?
• 19:14
  Would you have gone with gel pens or the pencil case?
• 19:18
  I think I had a gun sent to gel pens with her.
• 19:21
  Yeah, love that. No.
• 19:22
  I'd go, I think I'd go pencil case because I also have a Pepsi
• 19:25
  Max addiction and it's really. Enable.
• 19:30
  I have to have enable. Yeah, like, forget coffee and
• 19:34
  tea, I'm having Pepsi Max. Yeah, I love it.
• 19:37
  How dare you? Ryan, are you a coffee kind of
• 19:41
  guy? Yes, 100.
• 19:44
  Percent 13 should. Honestly, be dead without
• 19:46
  coffee. I love it.
• 19:49
  Yeah, we're definitely along the same line there because I cannot
• 19:52
  function without my coffee in the morning.
• 19:55
  Gosh. I may or may not have a coffee
• 19:57
  right now. Oh.
• 19:58
  My God, it's 8:30 at nightmate Is it decalf?
• 20:02
  Are you OK? No, no, you've got to have a
• 20:05
  coffee. Like I have one before bed and
• 20:08
  I'm absolutely fine. I'll ask you how old you are.
• 20:11
  You don't have to tell me, you can give me a region, but how
• 20:13
  old are you? I feel like this is a young
• 20:14
  person thing to do it. Might seem young, but I feel
• 20:19
  like I'm nine years old. I'm 29. 29 OK, so you're really
• 20:24
  you really are you're you're still young ish.
• 20:28
  Yeah, I'm Disney. Sort of right sort.
• 20:32
  Of right, yeah, mid right. You know, I'm the oldest one.
• 20:38
  I'm the oldest one here by a year.
• 20:39
  And you're like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you can Ish.
• 20:42
  You all sat there calling us. All right.
• 20:47
  I'll let you into a secret, Rob. I'm 33 next month, so you're
• 20:50
  really not that far off of me, so don't worry, it's all good.
• 20:54
  OK, Lush. OK, we've got one more for you
• 20:57
  then before we move on. Disney Channel, Nickelodeon or
• 21:02
  Cartoon Network this Is this that or the other?
• 21:05
  Because we've got three options. Yeah, Wow.
• 21:11
  Go on, Ryan, we'll let you. Answer this one.
• 21:13
  Cartoon Network, I think. Cartoon Network.
• 21:16
  OK, love. It was it editor that day.
• 21:18
  Is that what? Literally thinking about that
• 21:21
  in. My head you.
• 21:22
  Said it so good. Recess was one of my favourites.
• 21:27
  I used to love recess. Cat.
• 21:29
  Dog. Cat dog, What the hell was that?
• 21:32
  Oh, I heard a cat dog. Yeah.
• 21:35
  Is that Rob? Rob knows.
• 21:38
  Yeah, yeah. It was literally a cat dog.
• 21:43
  It's a cat. Dog.
• 21:44
  One end his dog, one end his cat.
• 21:46
  Oh. Wow, that sounds messy.
• 21:49
  Yeah, yeah. Are you sure this is a kid show?
• 21:52
  I'm scared to eat it too much. Cartoon Network was a law unto
• 21:58
  itself at one point. They, there were some very
• 22:01
  strange, strange things on the television when we were younger.
• 22:04
  I just put that out there. I love it, though.
• 22:08
  Go on then. Ali, did you did you tell us
• 22:10
  yours? No, I didn't.
• 22:12
  No, Yeah, I that is a really hard one.
• 22:14
  I mean, I do love. 'Cause it's too young for
• 22:16
  Cartoon Network, it's. Just a Cartoon Network.
• 22:20
  I mean, it's just probably, I don't know.
• 22:22
  Was Ben 10 Cartoon Network. Yeah, Ben 10 was like so young.
• 22:27
  We yeah, we're too right for Ben 10.
• 22:29
  Yeah. I just love Ben 10.
• 22:31
  But I actually, I want to say Disney Channel because a lot of
• 22:35
  the artists that I grew up listening to were Disney Channel
• 22:38
  stars. So.
• 22:39
  Oh yeah, you. Talked about Zac Efron.
• 22:42
  I'm not. I'm talking about Demi Lovato.
• 22:45
  Yes, you are Ali. Yes, LOML.
• 22:51
  Oh my God, love that woman. Love that.
• 22:53
  Yes, she's on another level. OK, love that.
• 22:57
  OK, I'm happy with that. Go on then.
• 22:59
  Rob, what was your choice? Cartoon Network.
• 23:04
  Yeah. I mean, I'll.
• 23:06
  I don't have to give a reason. I can also run off a list of
• 23:08
  shows. Oh, my God.
• 23:09
  Please. Eden.
• 23:09
  Eddie. Cat dog.
• 23:11
  Eddie. Yeah.
• 23:13
  Cat dog. Courage the Cowardly Dog.
• 23:15
  I remember that. 1. The Powerpuff Girls, That wasn't
• 23:20
  one of my favourites. 10 out of 10 show 10 out.
• 23:23
  I'm just introducing that to my kids.
• 23:25
  I love that it's it's a quality show, and I think just to round
• 23:29
  it off would be Dexter's Laboratory.
• 23:32
  Dexter's Laboratory. Oh my God that was my favourite.
• 23:36
  Love that. Although I feel like I I
• 23:39
  definitely would pick Cartoon Network.
• 23:40
  We never had Nickelodeon because we didn't have like the extra
• 23:44
  channels we had. I know that sounds really silly,
• 23:46
  but like there was like normal telly and then there was like
• 23:49
  the extra TAT channels. Do you know what I mean?
• 23:51
  Like my Nan had. It when I were a kid that were
• 23:53
  1234 and 5 that were it. All right, Ryan, pipe down.
• 24:04
  Oh dear. My nan used to have like
• 24:06
  Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel, but I watched Cartoon
• 24:08
  Network a lot at home. But I really, I feel like we
• 24:12
  need to give a shout out to CBBC.
• 24:14
  Man, I feel like I've watched a lot of CBBC growing up.
• 24:17
  I used to watch like my parents are aliens.
• 24:19
  Do you remember this Bernard's watch the Queen's Nose, Like
• 24:23
  they were my favourite. I used to love those shows and
• 24:26
  they were all CBBC. Big cook, Little cook.
• 24:28
  Oh. My God, big Oh my God, the
• 24:30
  innuendos. The innuendos from that show are
• 24:35
  actually unreal. They are diabolical.
• 24:37
  They're so bad Fun facts go on then.
• 24:43
  Right, This is really obscure, but I was the ones writing a
• 24:46
  song and I was I was writing a song and I got a melody that was
• 24:50
  extremely catchy and I was like, wow, this is this is going to be
• 24:53
  great. And then once I'd finished
• 24:56
  everything and listened back to it, I was like, hold on a
• 24:57
  minute, I've literally just written the theme tune to Big
• 25:00
  Cook, Little Cook. It was brilliant.
• 25:04
  Literally the same. The next song, Your next cover
• 25:09
  for your next show. Don't tempt him.
• 25:13
  Please don't tempt him. I'm doing it.
• 25:17
  I'm putting the temptation out there, doing it.
• 25:20
  I don't know what they would choose.
• 25:22
  I think I actually no. I reek of Disney Channel.
• 25:26
  You are a. Disney, you reek.
• 25:27
  I'm. Sorry of Lizzie McGuire.
• 25:29
  It's on Julie. Yes, Yeah.
• 25:32
  But I will say I would be nothing without Drake and Josh.
• 25:35
  So. God, Drake.
• 25:37
  And Josh? Yeah.
• 25:39
  I used to love that. That's so Raven.
• 25:42
  I think that was CBBC. Yeah, and.
• 25:44
  No, that was Disney Channel. That was Disney.
• 25:46
  Yeah, it was a. Disney.
• 25:47
  OK. And Even Stevens.
• 25:49
  Did you watch Even Stevens? Channel.
• 25:51
  Yeah, that was that was Shia LaBeouf, wasn't it?
• 25:54
  Shia LaBeouf Yes, it was Shia LaBeouf.
• 25:56
  Yeah, Shia LaBeouf. Love that.
• 25:59
  Oh my God, there's just too many to talk about.
• 26:01
  We could talk about this all day, but unfortunately we do
• 26:04
  have to move on. We've been sharing a few things
• 26:11
  about you guys this past week or so on our socials and we have
• 26:14
  asked our listeners if they have any questions for you.
• 26:17
  We did indeed, and they had quite a few.
• 26:19
  So we thought we'd do a quick question corner for you so we
• 26:22
  could all get to know you a little bit better.
• 26:24
  Now what we're going to do is we're going to ask each of you
• 26:26
  individually each question, but we're going to try and do it
• 26:29
  quick. So we're not going to I've put
• 26:31
  and reasoning, but I think what we'll do is we'll just do
• 26:34
  reasoning for the first question and then the other ones we'll
• 26:36
  just sort of answer in a shorter style because otherwise we will
• 26:40
  be here all night. It'll be the longest podcast in
• 26:44
  the history of the world. So we're going to go Ryan, Rob,
• 26:47
  then Ali, Ryan, 1st and most important question there is for
• 26:51
  this podcast. Are you Team Busted or Team
• 26:54
  McFly and give us your reasons. I am Team Busted and the reason
• 27:00
  being it was my earliest memory of music, like coming into my
• 27:06
  life when I was, I can't even remember how old I was, but I
• 27:09
  remember seeing like the adverts on TV.
• 27:12
  So I was about 6. That's really young.
• 27:15
  But I remember vividly like seeing like how mad's that at
• 27:20
  six years old. I remember seeing the adverts
• 27:23
  for Busted, a present for everyone.
• 27:25
  That's one of those eyebrows. And I was like, I think I'll
• 27:30
  have some of this. And I put it on my Christmas
• 27:32
  wish list. I was going to say I also.
• 27:35
  I also wrote that that's a bit of me.
• 27:38
  I'll have a bit of this, but in a very different way.
• 27:40
  I expect I. Definitely want to Charlie
• 27:44
  Simpson, but yeah, some are delivered and the rest is
• 27:51
  history. I love it.
• 27:52
  I love it. OK, so we've got one for Team
• 27:54
  Busted. Let's go to you, Rob, Team
• 27:56
  Busted or Team McFly. We're going to knock a point on
• 27:59
  for Team McFly. OK, easy choice.
• 28:05
  Yeah, I just know way more McFly than I do Busted.
• 28:10
  Yeah. I mean we had a little
• 28:13
  conversation but I'd say I know like 6 McFly songs for every
• 28:17
  like one Busted song. Yes, and I said that's probably
• 28:20
  not hard because there are twice as many McFly songs as there
• 28:23
  are. Yeah, I love.
• 28:26
  It I love it. OK, over to you then, Ali.
• 28:30
  And I am also Team McFly. So yeah, I mean, I grew up with
• 28:35
  their music. And I said this earlier, but
• 28:38
  like it feels like when you look at McFly and Busted and you do
• 28:41
  like that comparison is that Busted are the bad boys and
• 28:45
  McFly are the sort of good boys. Soft boy call.
• 28:48
  I mean, especially if you take a look at like, I think Harry is
• 28:50
  like the softest one of them all, I'd say.
• 28:53
  And he's he's just so sweet and I don't know, I think that's the
• 28:57
  aesthetic I'd like really love to have.
• 28:59
  I'd love to be soft boy, which I feel like that's weird saying
• 29:03
  about myself, but yeah, no, it's not.
• 29:05
  We live there. Yeah.
• 29:08
  And I mean, let's be honest, their music is just incredible.
• 29:10
  So yeah. Yes, we can agree with you
• 29:12
  there. OK, Just to let you in on mine
• 29:17
  and Shannon's preferences, we are both very heavily Team
• 29:20
  McFly, but Busted hold a very, very special place in both of
• 29:24
  our hearts. And I think it's only because
• 29:26
  we've seen McFly more because we watched them tour while Busted
• 29:30
  one no more, if that makes sense.
• 29:32
  They were busted. They weren't busted anymore.
• 29:34
  We were so heartbroken. I think if Busted had continued,
• 29:37
  there would be level pegging. I really do.
• 29:39
  I think they probably. Would be although I think I'm T
• 29:42
  McFly because I like McFly now but I think Busted for me.
• 29:46
  I like their nostalgic vibes so much more.
• 29:49
  They just remind me of being a kid.
• 29:51
  Yeah, 100 percent, 100% agree with you there.
• 29:53
  OK, let's go to the next question.
• 29:56
  Actually, I think one of you already answered this.
• 29:58
  Ryan, what is your earliest memory of either of the bands?
• 30:02
  You can choose Busted or McFly. Yeah, it's literally the present
• 30:08
  for Everyone album. Yeah, pretty much.
• 30:12
  I don't know if it was. I've been thinking about this,
• 30:13
  right. And I don't know if I was six
• 30:15
  years old, I think it might have been a little bit a.
• 30:18
  Bit. After we need to first check
• 30:21
  this. The first album was to We know
• 30:23
  the facts. We've been doing this long
• 30:24
  enough. They've released their first
• 30:26
  album in 2002 and they split up in January 2004.
• 30:31
  So they would have been like, it would have been within those
• 30:35
  sort of two years that they were everywhere.
• 30:37
  But obviously their music was around after that.
• 30:39
  But if you're thinking about seeing them on the TV and like
• 30:42
  me and Shannon went to see them like live in probably 2003, I
• 30:47
  would say Shan 2000 and three 2004 before No 2003, before they
• 30:50
  split. So I would have been 10 because
• 30:53
  I was born in 1993. So it was a young, it was
• 30:56
  definitely young, young Tings, but yeah, 2002.
• 30:59
  To 2004. Young Tings.
• 31:01
  I don't know why I think I'm so cool and I'm not cool.
• 31:03
  Enough to say that you're not. This is like, I'm glad that you
• 31:07
  know, I'm glad that you know the facts because my memory is
• 31:10
  shocking. You just remembered a memory
• 31:14
  from when you were 6. Yeah, and also, it's our job to
• 31:18
  know this. We have a podcast about these
• 31:19
  bands. We need to know when they
• 31:20
  formed. My memory of dates and times
• 31:24
  should I say is a bit blurred. We'll let you off, don't worry,
• 31:28
  OK? Super Rob.
• 31:30
  What's your earliest memory of either of the bands?
• 31:33
  Yeah, to be fair, I don't remember listening to Busted
• 31:37
  very much at the time. So when you say they were around
• 31:41
  for a couple of years for this split up, I generally thought
• 31:44
  they were around for a bit longer than that, but obviously
• 31:48
  not. I listened to them more sort of
• 31:51
  later on. But McFly, yeah, I just sort of
• 31:54
  remember them just being there. Like, I feel like, I don't know
• 31:59
  what I mean. You'll know the answer as to
• 32:01
  when they started started releasing music, but it was
• 32:03
  obviously around. The simplest.
• 32:05
  McFly Yeah, 2000 So I'd have been going to like, I've been
• 32:09
  secondary school there. So it's going back to the early
• 32:13
  conversation. It's the start of like getting
• 32:14
  your MP3 player in it for when you're at school and thinking
• 32:17
  you're cool and whatever. So I had to, I just remember
• 32:21
  discovering them. I'm going to say 5 Colours was
• 32:25
  probably one of the first songs that sort of stood out, but I
• 32:30
  used to be a lot more into, I don't know, Michael romance kind
• 32:35
  of genre. Don't get that area.
• 32:38
  Do not get sky. OK, is that tangent I'm?
• 32:42
  Like Remo in my blood, yeah. We both.
• 32:45
  Are. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:46
  We're MC so throw and through I love.
• 32:50
  It. Oh, that's all right then.
• 32:51
  Yeah. So I was more in that little
• 32:52
  realm. So at the time I was like, I
• 32:54
  think I'm a bit too edgy here for McFly.
• 32:57
  But then, as years went on, I came to appreciate their craft.
• 33:02
  You could wear guy liner and listen to It's All About You.
• 33:04
  That's fine. Why not?
• 33:07
  Well, that's it. It is absolutely.
• 33:09
  I do that every Thursday night. I love it.
• 33:14
  For you, mate, we're here for it with your coffee.
• 33:16
  I love that. Yeah, I love it.
• 33:20
  OK, Tears. Coffee in tears.
• 33:25
  I love it. Oh, my goodness.
• 33:27
  OK, Ali, over to you then. What's your earliest memory?
• 33:33
  Yeah, I mean, I, I can't pinpoint anything like really
• 33:36
  particular, but I, I definitely say like when I first probably,
• 33:41
  I don't know, found like Mcfly's music would be, you know, the
• 33:44
  days when we used to have music video TV channels.
• 33:47
  So you have like MTV and then like Kerrang and stars.
• 33:50
  Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kerrang like, and you would just
• 33:54
  watch their music videos. Yeah, absolutely.
• 33:57
  Like, that was my childhood sitting there every weekend,
• 34:00
  every like after school in the in the afternoons and the
• 34:03
  evenings. I'd be watching just like all
• 34:05
  this different music. And I definitely would have seen
• 34:07
  like, yeah, a few McFly music videos on there and being like,
• 34:10
  oh, these guys are so cool. Like I wouldn't be like them one
• 34:13
  day. Like, yeah.
• 34:14
  And now you are and. Now you're living.
• 34:16
  Your dream you're. Living your dream, I know.
• 34:19
  I know, I love it. Awesome.
• 34:21
  OK, this is a quick one. Have you ever seen them live?
• 34:26
  No. I've never seen them live.
• 34:29
  I've met Tom Fletcher. What?
• 34:31
  You've met Tom Fletcher and you've never seen him live.
• 34:33
  I'm absolutely few man. I know, I know.
• 34:37
  How did you meet him? Tell a story?
• 34:39
  I've seen AWH Smith's in Leeds. So random.
• 34:42
  Oh my goodness, I'm him in AWH Smith's.
• 34:46
  Really. Book signing thing for WH
• 34:48
  Smith's OH book signings. Yeah, he was doing book signings
• 34:52
  like smack because he, he did a couple of book signings for WH
• 34:55
  Smith, I'm sure. No, I don't know.
• 34:58
  I think it was just a random day shopping.
• 35:00
  And I was like, I'm pretty sure that's Tom from McFly.
• 35:03
  And then I just sort of like, walked past him and he he's like
• 35:06
  sort of smiled at me and went, all right, mate.
• 35:07
  And I was like, yeah, I'll tell him from McFly out here.
• 35:10
  And he's like, yeah, yeah. And like, he shook my hand and
• 35:12
  was like, oh, it's nice to meet you.
• 35:13
  And I was like, oh, cool, nice to meet you.
• 35:15
  It's probably bizarre. I aspire to be that cool when I
• 35:18
  meet somebody. Oh God, Shannon is the literally
• 35:21
  the worst. Meeting celebrities is not her
• 35:23
  thing. When I met Tom Fletcher in WH
• 35:27
  Smith's, it was his book signing and I I don't know why I bought
• 35:31
  him. AI bought my present because I
• 35:33
  was like, I can't go empty handed.
• 35:35
  So I bought him this little like there was a lush next door.
• 35:38
  So I bought him a bath bomb and I walked in.
• 35:41
  I don't know why I walked in and he went, oh, that smells nice
• 35:45
  and just I'm so bad at me in celebrities.
• 35:47
  I just went so do you. I didn't know what to say.
• 35:52
  And then it was like, oh, OK, let's take this photo.
• 35:55
  He's probably like call and security behind my back.
• 36:00
  You're so awkward and so funny. We also met his sister once
• 36:04
  outside the whole Cornwall because we went to watch our
• 36:05
  show and we were so excited to see her.
• 36:07
  We were first in line at stage door and we were absolutely
• 36:10
  buzzing and she came out and Shannon said sorry that I look
• 36:12
  so ugly. I don't know what's wrong with
• 36:17
  me. I can't meet celebrities.
• 36:19
  And she was like, you don't look ugly, you look beautiful.
• 36:21
  And China was like, thanks, that was it was gonna say say
• 36:24
  anything. You can you can always rely on
• 36:26
  Carrie to to lift you up in those moments like.
• 36:29
  She's an Angel. So much so you find it kind of
• 36:34
  bizarre though, like in moments like that because it was so long
• 36:37
  ago, like and it happened so quick.
• 36:39
  I can't remember the exact details, but it was just like,
• 36:42
  what the Hell's just happened? Like I've just ran at someone so
• 36:45
  super famous. I love the I love moments like
• 36:48
  that. I once saw Peter Andre in a
• 36:50
  train station and that's my claim.
• 36:51
  To pay well, I love that for you.
• 36:54
  Bristol Parkway train station there.
• 36:56
  He was just waiting on the platform.
• 36:59
  I'd put that on my CVI would. I'll talk about it.
• 37:02
  I'm not going to lie, I really have.
• 37:04
  OK, let's move on. Next question is favourite
• 37:07
  members of both bands? Favourite members of Busted?
• 37:10
  Let's go there first, Rob. Favourite members of Busted?
• 37:14
  Oh, favourite member of Busted. I will probably go Charlie
• 37:19
  Simpson. I feel like it's a down the
• 37:23
  middle answer. However, I will give you the
• 37:26
  reason as to why is because of Fight Star and just I listened
• 37:31
  to Fight Star before I listened to Busted.
• 37:33
  Oh, I love that. Love that for you.
• 37:35
  Fair play, you'll probably get on with Shan a lot more than me
• 37:38
  because I don't listen to Fight Star.
• 37:40
  I'm not. Have you?
• 37:41
  Listened to President. Yes.
• 37:43
  Are you talking? Yeah, no.
• 37:44
  Phenomenal. Yeah, yeah.
• 37:46
  No, that is, that is sound good. I'm a loser.
• 37:48
  Sorry. I'm so sorry.
• 37:52
  Oh, dear. OK, super.
• 37:54
  Say one vote for Charlie. Let's go, Ryan.
• 37:58
  Favourite Busted? Member My My favourite member
• 38:01
  busted is Mr Charlie Simpson. Nice, another vote for Charlie.
• 38:05
  OK, it's the eyebrows. It's the eyebrows.
• 38:09
  No, it's just, I don't know. I think for me, I appreciate
• 38:13
  his, his talent as a songwriter, but like his voice is such, I
• 38:19
  don't know. It's just got that texture to it
• 38:21
  that no matter what he sings, it always feels like quite present
• 38:26
  and I don't know. Yeah, raw and ripe.
• 38:29
  Hundreds. Oh, ripe, right?
• 38:31
  In a good way. In a good way.
• 38:33
  In a good way. Love that, love that.
• 38:36
  OK Ali, what about you? Favourite Busted member?
• 38:39
  So mine is actually Matt. Nice.
• 38:43
  Good choice. I just, he just, he just seems
• 38:45
  like a fun dude, you know, like I I'd grab a pint with him, I
• 38:48
  feel. Like and also he wouldn't.
• 38:49
  He's got a tea total. Well, yeah, I'm, I almost hope,
• 38:53
  beverage. With him.
• 38:54
  I'm also tea total, so I was sorry.
• 38:58
  Pint of Pepsi. Mac pint of Pepsi.
• 38:59
  Mac, That's what I mean. Sorry.
• 39:03
  Yeah, yeah. Love it, Love it.
• 39:06
  Yeah, Matt gets a Shannon. So I can't believe none of you
• 39:08
  picked my boy James. My God.
• 39:10
  James Bond is like my favourite person in the whole world.
• 39:12
  I love James so much. He gets so overlooked and this
• 39:15
  just proves it. He really does get so
• 39:17
  overlooked. He's literally the backbone of
• 39:19
  Bustard. He is.
• 39:20
  I'm sorry just an hour. I've said it before and I'll
• 39:22
  say. It he is, but he doesn't have
• 39:23
  the eyebrows. No, he doesn't.
• 39:25
  Have the eyebrows. He doesn't, and he.
• 39:27
  Doesn't have the eyebrows so often.
• 39:28
  He doesn't have Matt's bad boy charisma either.
• 39:31
  James is like the little nerdy geez and I love a little nerdy
• 39:35
  geez, I really do. OK, let's go favourite members
• 39:38
  of McFly then let's go to Ryan. We'll go to you first this time.
• 39:44
  I'm probably going to say Tom, to be fair, just because I've
• 39:47
  met him in his proper sound, like he's such a nice guy.
• 39:49
  I'm. A Tom girl.
• 39:51
  So I'm just so there for that love that.
• 39:53
  Let's go, Rob. I'm going to go for Dougie, if
• 39:56
  I'm honest. He just, yeah, he just seems
• 39:58
  like a cool guy. Definitely, definitely.
• 40:02
  He 100% is Ali. It's hard because all these boys
• 40:08
  are, yeah, awesome. But it's gotta be Harry, you
• 40:10
  know? Drama, like dramas unite, you
• 40:12
  know what I mean? I love that drummers stick
• 40:15
  together. Absolutely.
• 40:16
  And he's just the sweetest soul ever.
• 40:18
  They all are sweet. But watching him on was it race
• 40:22
  across the world with his mum, like, Oh my God, that's the that
• 40:24
  changed that changed me. Yeah, honestly changed my life.
• 40:29
  It changed my love. Forever, I think.
• 40:32
  You're not alone there, mate. I tell ya, I love it.
• 40:35
  OK, super. So we've got a few different
• 40:37
  answers. Nobody chose Danny Jones.
• 40:39
  That's interesting because. That's.
• 40:40
  The only person everybody wants to talk about Danny, but that's
• 40:43
  cool. OK Best songs to perform?
• 40:46
  OK so for this one, this listener wanted to know what
• 40:50
  songs from each band you would like to play yourself.
• 40:53
  So what would you be your favourite song of theirs to
• 40:56
  play? So let's go Busted first.
• 40:58
  Let's go Ryan. What song do you like from
• 41:00
  Busted that you like to perform? Don't do this to me question.
• 41:08
  Oh my God, oh God, what do I go with?
• 41:13
  We all know it's either. We all know it's.
• 41:16
  Britney. It's Britney.
• 41:19
  Pretty bitch. Can you come back to me?
• 41:24
  I can't decide. I'm I'll.
• 41:26
  Come back to you. I'll come back to you.
• 41:27
  I'll give you a moment. Let's go to Rob.
• 41:29
  Go on there Rob, you give us your your favourite Busted song
• 41:31
  to perform. This isn't going to be a popular
• 41:34
  vote, but I'm going to go for Thunderbirds.
• 41:37
  That's. Yeah, I feel like nobody, nobody
• 41:43
  covers. Yeah, nobody covers
• 41:45
  Thunderbirds. So yeah.
• 41:49
  Okay, that's fine. It's a valid, it's a valid
• 41:51
  choice. No problem at all, Ali.
• 41:54
  It's so cliche, but it, it, I mean, I have to say it has to be
• 41:59
  year 3000 just because when we, when we have done covers of it,
• 42:03
  it's just so beautiful to be able to like stop for a minute
• 42:06
  and like watch the crowd all singing along.
• 42:09
  Like I know it's not our song, it's busted song, but it's just
• 42:12
  like it's, I don't know, it's that coming together, isn't it?
• 42:14
  It's just beautiful to watch everyone do that.
• 42:16
  And year 3000 without a doubt will get everyone singing so.
• 42:20
  I've got 100%. It's always one of the biggest
• 42:22
  ones, isn't it? OK, Ryan, time to come back to
• 42:24
  you if you decided. I have made my decision.
• 42:28
  OK, Drum roll, please. I have.
• 42:32
  My decision is, who's David? Oh yes, yes, I love that so
• 42:39
  much. Oh my gosh, Who's David is
• 42:42
  probably one of my all time favourite Busted songs.
• 42:46
  We haven't got to it yet because we're still on the first album,
• 42:48
  but my God I can't wait to get to it in the podcast Buzzing.
• 42:52
  Love that for you Ryan. Good choice, really good choice.
• 42:54
  Have you got a reason or just love it?
• 42:57
  I always loved the song since it sort of came out and I heard it,
• 43:01
  you know, early on. But since they did greatest hits
• 43:05
  2.0 I believe, yes, 2.0 the that particular version, like the
• 43:10
  production on that is insane. Like it just sort of set set a
• 43:14
  new bar for me. Like sonically, who did they?
• 43:17
  Collab with for that song on the 2.9.
• 43:21
  No, so, so no, they did, they did collab with someone on it,
• 43:26
  but then they did it on their own as well for.
• 43:28
  Oh yeah. Yeah, there was.
• 43:30
  They did a great assist and then they did the greatest with all
• 43:32
  the collabs, didn't they? Yeah, so my my favourite 1 is
• 43:36
  the one where they just perform it themselves.
• 43:39
  Yeah, I agree. I think who's David?
• 43:42
  I think there's a couple of songs that they did for the 2.0
• 43:45
  album. It was Wheatus, by the way,
• 43:46
  Shannon, that they sung it with legends.
• 43:49
  Yeah, I think that they're, Oh yeah, so good.
• 43:51
  I think there's a couple of songs on the 2.0 album with the
• 43:54
  like with the other people with the features that I probably do
• 43:57
  prefer the original. I'm going to just put the Jonas
• 44:00
  Brothers out there. Not a Joe Bro gal.
• 44:03
  I'm sorry but no, Year 3000 is not a Joe Bro song.
• 44:06
  We've already had this discussion.
• 44:08
  This is Busted and busted only. Sorry, Joe, you don't like you
• 44:12
  don't. Like shut up, you don't like I
• 44:18
  do. You don't like the neck deep
• 44:19
  meat there, do you? No because Meet You There is
• 44:22
  genuinely 10 out of 10 for me. My all time favourite Busted
• 44:26
  song and they just ruined it. I'm not saying that neck deep
• 44:30
  like ruined it. Themselves, but like silence.
• 44:32
  I like neck deep. It's not, I'm not like, it's not
• 44:35
  that I don't like them. I like them.
• 44:36
  I like their music. I just think Meet You There is a
• 44:39
  really good song and it's better when they sing it.
• 44:42
  Originally they speed it up and it was just too much and oh,
• 44:44
  just yeah, I wasn't a fan. But anyway, this isn't about me.
• 44:49
  OK, the next question is my favourite song to listen to.
• 44:56
  Oh we didn't do McFly, sorry. I'm so sorry.
• 44:58
  Your bet? Your Best Song to perform by
• 44:59
  McFly. Let's go back to Ryan first.
• 45:02
  Your favourite McFly song to sing Ryan?
• 45:06
  I've already chosen this one. It's probably what you're not
• 45:08
  expecting, to be fair. Oh, I'm excited.
• 45:10
  Silence is a scary sound. What a.
• 45:13
  Banger Yes Ryan, love you love the.
• 45:17
  Song. Yes, so good.
• 45:22
  That song reminds me of my MP3 player actually.
• 45:26
  It's so weird because I had their cover of I think it was
• 45:30
  Don't Stop Me Now and it was like a 17 minute song and I used
• 45:36
  to have to wait in the like empty space in between to hear
• 45:39
  silence as a scary sound. It was like you, It was like 4
• 45:44
  minutes. Don't stop me now.
• 45:45
  Yeah, yeah. But because I had an MP3 player,
• 45:48
  I couldn't skip, so I just had to sit in silence and weep.
• 45:52
  So. Funny, I loved that so much.
• 45:54
  Brilliant. OK, Rob, what about you, McFly?
• 45:59
  Something for I am going to go for a Niche 1 and it's probably
• 46:04
  one of my favourite McFly songs as well.
• 46:07
  It would be corrupted off the radioactive album I believe.
• 46:10
  Yes. Rob Oh my God I'm loving you
• 46:12
  guys choosing actual McFly songs and not just like 5 colours and
• 46:16
  a hair and obviously makes me so happy.
• 46:19
  Love that. OK, Ali.
• 46:22
  I've, I've got to say it would be lies.
• 46:25
  It's just, I don't know. I can just imagine like how
• 46:29
  badass that would be on a stage like it is.
• 46:33
  Phenomenal live as well, like we've seen it a couple of times
• 46:36
  live and it is unreal the energy when they do the like the
• 46:42
  guitar. The beginning, everything, Oh my
• 46:45
  God, it's so good. It's such a vibe.
• 46:47
  The vibe is. Such a vibe.
• 46:49
  Cinematic masterpiece like. It really is exactly what?
• 46:53
  It is. You guys need to go and see
• 46:56
  McFly because once you've seen them live you will want to go
• 46:59
  every year I promise you, and you'll want to be those fanboys
• 47:03
  that follow them round and go to every gig and are always at
• 47:06
  front row screaming. Honestly, I'll tell you now is
• 47:09
  what it takes. One go and that's it.
• 47:11
  You're in it forever. I've barely seen them.
• 47:14
  I can't. I can't.
• 47:15
  Oh, shut up, shut up. Liar, liar.
• 47:18
  Is it 50 this year? I don't know.
• 47:20
  We're nearly. No, it's not 50.
• 47:22
  I have seen them. I think we are approaching 40,
• 47:26
  but in my defence I saw them at Butlins quite a few times.
• 47:31
  As a kid, loving life so good. We also got to see Mcbusted in
• 47:37
  Cardiff, which was hands down the best gig of my entire life.
• 47:40
  And I went to the Aerosol. So, you know, putting that out
• 47:44
  there, it was amazing. It was so good seeing them like
• 47:47
  perform together and we just, they just did the Busted Versus
• 47:50
  McFly tour and they did do like a couple of the songs from the
• 47:54
  big Busted album, but not enough.
• 47:56
  And I don't know whether you guys have listened to the
• 47:57
  Mcbusted album at all. Have any of you listened to it?
• 48:01
  I've listened to a little bit, so one of my friends, I've been
• 48:06
  in bands over the last like 15 years.
• 48:08
  So one of my friends, one of their old bands went on tour
• 48:11
  with Mcbusted. So yeah, I've I end up listening
• 48:18
  to a couple of bits, but like, I could definitely listen to it in
• 48:20
  more detail. Do you know what?
• 48:22
  It's such a fun album, but it is so silly.
• 48:25
  Like it's such a silly. It's just so fun.
• 48:27
  There's nothing really serious about any of the songs that also
• 48:31
  carefree and just ridiculous. There's literally a song called
• 48:33
  Riding on My Bike and it's just talking about riding his bike.
• 48:37
  It's so stupid. There's another song called
• 48:40
  Indoor Club, again equally as as Amazing Indo Club.
• 48:45
  Yeah, have a listen guys, because they're so good.
• 48:46
  OK, last one. Any songs that you cannot stand
• 48:51
  by either of these bands? Ryan, over to you.
• 48:53
  First do. You know what, I can't really
• 48:59
  say. There is a song that I don't
• 49:01
  like. That's a bold statement.
• 49:05
  Do you? Know what?
• 49:06
  Like obviously the songs that I'm not sort of, I don't know
• 49:11
  I'm mad about, but yeah, it's like when I when I put on a
• 49:14
  playlist or an album, I don't skip.
• 49:17
  Do you know what I mean? I'll listen through because
• 49:19
  there's elements that still speak for themselves in
• 49:23
  different, less known songs. Or yeah, I think that makes
• 49:27
  sense. No, definitely.
• 49:28
  That's a really good answer. I think that's a very musician
• 49:31
  answer as well because I think when you are a musician, you
• 49:33
  appreciate music on a different level to people that are just
• 49:36
  listening to it because they like the band.
• 49:38
  I think you appreciate how every song is made and how every song
• 49:41
  is different and like the vocal, especially if you're vocalist
• 49:44
  like you are like you, you appreciate the energy and like
• 49:47
  the different types of tone and how they change their voices.
• 49:50
  And I'm we do the same thing. Like it's not just because we
• 49:53
  love the band. We do hear it musically as well.
• 49:55
  So I love that answer. Super.
• 49:57
  Go on then, Rob, tell us if there's any songs that you hate.
• 50:00
  I wouldn't say hate, but me and Ali were having this
• 50:04
  conversation. Yeah, he is a very strong word.
• 50:07
  I'm going. For drama here.
• 50:11
  Me and Ali were discussing this about half an hour before we
• 50:14
  started this podcast, so we can probably have a joint answer
• 50:17
  here with Air Hostess by Busted. Oh no.
• 50:22
  Goodness. Controversial.
• 50:27
  Yeah. I think.
• 50:30
  Like Ryan, you're my new host. Thank you.
• 50:35
  Yeah. It's just sort of like lyrically
• 50:38
  and stuff. It's, I don't know.
• 50:41
  It's it's catchy, but at the same time, it's my air Hostess.
• 50:47
  I like the way you dress. I don't know, it's just.
• 50:51
  I do like the way you dress, Rob.
• 50:53
  Calm down, You. Read my lyrics.
• 51:00
  Yeah, and if I'm honest, like the ones who've released, the
• 51:05
  ones who've released like you should read some of the
• 51:10
  unreleased like if you think Ryan's a bad, like mine are like
• 51:14
  mine are worse rhymes than they are like.
• 51:16
  Everybody said rhymes were bad. I think that was you putting
• 51:19
  that out in the ethereal. None of us said the right.
• 51:21
  Yeah, Ryan, Ryan insinuated it. No, no, but like, I can rhyme
• 51:26
  all day long but I can't write a song.
• 51:29
  But I feel like air Hostess is just one must have, right?
• 51:33
  There's nothing wrong with that. I just don't know.
• 51:36
  There's just something about it. Save me.
• 51:39
  I rob, I can't save you. I can't No, I don't I yeah, I
• 51:43
  think it's this sounds really awful and like my goodness, I
• 51:47
  hope no, I hope busted never hear this and and people.
• 51:51
  Get. Busted to listen.
• 51:52
  To this podcast, yes. Just no, listen to the podcast,
• 51:55
  just just like like bleak this out so that that skip this bit
• 51:59
  busted it here, skip this bit. But I think I think it's a bit
• 52:02
  whiny that song. I'm sorry, like, I don't know, I
• 52:06
  don't know. I as soon as it comes on, I'm
• 52:07
  like, yeah, now bye. See you later.
• 52:09
  Oh, it's a skip song. Yeah, brutal.
• 52:12
  Many. You're not.
• 52:13
  Honouring, I have many skip songs, but in my defence, all of
• 52:18
  my skip songs are also 10 out of 10 live.
• 52:21
  Like, I don't listen to that song myself, but that in a life
• 52:25
  full of full of Busted fans, yeah.
• 52:28
  Yeah, yeah. It's going to be the environment
• 52:30
  though, that's that's important. Yeah.
• 52:32
  Oh, 100%. I think for me, I think I've
• 52:34
  said it before and I will say it again, Thunderbirds, it's my
• 52:37
  only skip song really. I'm not into it.
• 52:39
  I'm really not into it. I just don't.
• 52:42
  I never did the Thunderbirds thing.
• 52:43
  I'm not. I just not not a fan I mean.
• 52:45
  Again, not even the Vanessa Hudgens movie.
• 52:48
  No, not even that. God, that woman can go.
• 52:51
  No, I mean, don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong.
• 52:54
  Vanessa Hudgens, 25 years old plus.
• 52:57
  Yes, yes, Vanessa Hudgens. Vanessa Hudgens 17.
• 53:01
  Go away, you whiny, whiny little bitch.
• 53:03
  You're just jealous because she got Troy Bolton.
• 53:06
  She got to snog Zac Efron and I didn't.
• 53:08
  I'm sorry. Can you expect me to like her?
• 53:11
  Whatever Team Sharpei. This section of the podcast, we
• 53:20
  normally talk about one of the Busted or McFly members and what
• 53:23
  they've been up to outside of the band.
• 53:25
  But this week, obviously you're our special guest.
• 53:28
  So we thought we would use this section to talk about what you
• 53:30
  guys are going to be up to or have been up to, and you can
• 53:33
  share a little bit more about what you've been doing together,
• 53:36
  your covers, your tours, upcoming new music, and sort of
• 53:40
  general life and things that you do outside of the band.
• 53:42
  So would you like to give us a bit of an overview of like where
• 53:46
  you guys started and the things that you've done since you
• 53:49
  became a trio? Yeah.
• 53:52
  So as a trio, we released our first song back in the summer
• 53:57
  last year. It was May and then obviously
• 54:01
  we've released a few songs since then.
• 54:03
  We're on tour in December. And so to sort of fast track
• 54:08
  ever since happened over the last six months into what's
• 54:12
  currently happening is very much getting ready to release more
• 54:17
  music and line up the next lot of gigs.
• 54:20
  So a lot happens behind the scenes and then even more
• 54:24
  happens that Ryan and Ally get like a weekly update and a voice
• 54:27
  note that's about 6 minutes long from me and of everything that
• 54:32
  like has happened that week. And so yeah, it's been a case of
• 54:38
  lining up what shows we're playing because we've had them.
• 54:42
  There are quite a few offers come in, which is quite nice.
• 54:45
  Nice. So yeah, it's.
• 54:47
  It's quite nice heading down to the toe of the country at any
• 54:50
  point because don't forget our bars down here in Cornwall.
• 54:54
  Do you know what there, we've had a few people ask us to come
• 54:57
  down sort of Bristol sort of area.
• 54:59
  So still. 3 1/2 hours away, but that's fine.
• 55:01
  Still Bristol a bit away, but yeah, no, it's, it's definitely
• 55:07
  in the pipeline for this year. And Ali's from Brighton, so we
• 55:11
  will be heading down to the South Coast at least.
• 55:13
  Oh. Please do, because we really
• 55:15
  would love to come to a show and actually like, see you guys play
• 55:17
  and yeah, we'd love to, you know, rally and be supporters.
• 55:20
  So we'll be little groupies on the barrier, you know, we're up
• 55:25
  for that. Oh, amazing.
• 55:26
  That sounds like you've had lots going on.
• 55:28
  I didn't know that you were such a new band.
• 55:30
  I didn't know that you'd only form sort of like last year.
• 55:32
  So that's amazing. We're so honoured to have you on
• 55:34
  so early in your career together.
• 55:36
  Hopefully a nice long career ahead.
• 55:39
  So because we've talked a little bit about you as band members, I
• 55:43
  thought it'd be cool to sort of learn a little bit about who you
• 55:46
  are as people singly as well. So is that OK?
• 55:48
  Is it all right for us to like, talk about your outside life and
• 55:52
  sort of what you do outside of the band?
• 55:55
  Yeah, so good. Super.
• 55:56
  Okay, well, let's go. Let's go over to Ryan first as
• 56:00
  we let Rob answer that question. Ryan, I know you're chilling out
• 56:03
  on your own and just listening in and chatting in when you can.
• 56:06
  So I'm gonna, I'm gonna put you on the spot, probably drink,
• 56:10
  drinking a coffee. It's all good.
• 56:14
  So Ryan, tell us what do you do? Like what's your daily sort of
• 56:17
  thing? Do you have like AI say a normal
• 56:18
  person job, not like just your band?
• 56:20
  Do you do like general day-to-day things?
• 56:23
  Talk about your like, hobbies and the things you get up to
• 56:25
  outside of doing music. So it's a bit of a shift for me
• 56:30
  at the moment because I'm starting a new job.
• 56:33
  Oh. Exciting.
• 56:34
  It's a, it's a pretty normal person job.
• 56:37
  So it's in like education, teaching sort of music related
• 56:41
  things. Oh amazing.
• 56:45
  And then also on top of that, moving house to a brand new
• 56:49
  area. So there's a lot happening.
• 56:51
  Scary times, scary times. Scary times.
• 56:55
  But yeah, I mean, pretty much live and breathe music and the
• 57:00
  band. Obviously the last sort of month
• 57:03
  or so has been a bit quiet because I've had all this
• 57:06
  happening. But yeah, I mean, we all, each
• 57:10
  of us put a lot of time into different aspects of the band.
• 57:13
  Nice. It sounds pretty boring that
• 57:15
  really we. Don't.
• 57:16
  No, not at all. It's boring.
• 57:17
  It's. Not boring at all.
• 57:19
  I love that. That's good.
• 57:20
  It's a good thing to be invested in the things that you're doing.
• 57:23
  That's awesome. You said you're going into
• 57:24
  education. I'm a teacher and Shannon is a
• 57:26
  TA, so good luck with that. Have you done any?
• 57:30
  Have you done any education work before?
• 57:32
  No, it's it's the first first time I've gone into that sort of
• 57:36
  field about 10, a bit of a bit of a hobby, obviously playing
• 57:41
  music since or a kid and stuff and going through like playing
• 57:46
  band, playing in bands and playing shows and writing,
• 57:49
  recording. I thought maybe I could do
• 57:51
  something with this and turn it into a real person Job A.
• 57:54
  Real person job. Love that.
• 57:56
  That's so, so cool. So you're going to be teaching
• 57:58
  music. Is that sort of the kind of path
• 58:00
  that you're taking? Yeah, yeah.
• 58:02
  So it's basically teaching. It's mainly like primary age
• 58:07
  kids how to play instruments in a band.
• 58:11
  Yeah, it's really cool. So it's sort of teaching the
• 58:15
  next generation of, you know, of the kids growing up.
• 58:19
  Yeah. Next generation of musicians
• 58:21
  teaching them how to play guitars and drums and all those
• 58:25
  magical. That sounds so rewarding.
• 58:27
  It sounds much more rewarding than what I have to do every
• 58:30
  day. I'm actually a supply teacher at
• 58:33
  the moment, so I go to like 3 different schools a week and
• 58:36
  just get thrown in, but like right in the deep end.
• 58:39
  So I'm very, very jealous of your new job.
• 58:41
  That sounds so fun. Thank you very much.
• 58:43
  Ryan. Let's go to Ali.
• 58:45
  Ali, do you want to tell us a bit more about you, what you do
• 58:48
  outside of the band, your general sort of life things?
• 58:52
  Yeah, sure. I mean, I've got a pretty nerdy
• 58:55
  job, so I I, I'm actually a data analyst kind of officer manager
• 59:01
  thingy. Oh.
• 59:02
  My God, are you? Are you Chandler big?
• 59:06
  I'm pretty much yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:09
  I live two different lives. It's crazy, but yeah, I, I, I
• 59:13
  am. I'm part of a charity that's
• 59:15
  actually located down in Brighton, where I'm from.
• 59:18
  But since, since moving, they, yeah, they let me, they let me
• 59:22
  work from home because I mean, I'm just computer basically all
• 59:25
  the time. But yeah, I mean, that's pretty
• 59:28
  pretty much consumes me. But I think other than that, I
• 59:31
  like to, I like to just rot. I am a bit of a sofa rotter,
• 59:36
  doom scroller. Yeah, yeah.
• 59:38
  That's. My line.
• 59:40
  What and wish I was wish I was doing more with the band and
• 59:43
  writing really cool music and like, you know, joining in with
• 59:45
  like maybe a bit of cool lyrics, but I don't have the talent and
• 59:48
  I just sit play my my my games on my phone all the times and.
• 59:52
  You're. Stuck on TikTok?
• 59:53
  That's really. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:57
  Don't. Put yourself down mate.
• 59:58
  Like I said, the drummer, it's the backbone of a band and there
• 1:00:00
  were nothing. I just turn up.
• 1:00:02
  That's how you, I just turn up and go boom, boom, boom.
• 1:00:04
  And then you know. So when the the finger boys get
• 1:00:08
  in, that's. Hilarious.
• 1:00:14
  Absolutely love that. Oh, my goodness.
• 1:00:17
  Amazing. Thank you, Ali.
• 1:00:18
  Go on then, Rob, over to you. Tell us sort of things that you
• 1:00:21
  get up to outside of your band. Yeah, I mean, to be fair, every
• 1:00:26
  minute that I'm not doing anything else, I'm probably on
• 1:00:28
  the Instagram account. That's probably why you get a
• 1:00:30
  reply within the first 3 minutes.
• 1:00:32
  Yeah, my message. Yes, that's.
• 1:00:35
  Me but yeah so other than that I is it a normal job is it isn't
• 1:00:42
  so I mainly do like wedding photography and wedding
• 1:00:44
  videography yeah I'd say it's a normal job like so I thought
• 1:00:51
  about doing that and I have a city loads of editing that comes
• 1:00:56
  with that and yeah like that's sort of it really I've got two
• 1:01:02
  kids as well so like. Cute.
• 1:01:05
  I was going to ask earlier if any of you had children but I
• 1:01:08
  just couldn't find time to put it in.
• 1:01:09
  How old are they? So I've got a 7 or nearly 7 year
• 1:01:14
  old. I would Fast forward in two
• 1:01:15
  months and I've got a nearly 7 year old and a three-year old.
• 1:01:20
  Oh, that's my life. Love that.
• 1:01:22
  Oh yeah, you're the same Chan, Not too far apart.
• 1:01:24
  I have 7 year old and a four year old.
• 1:01:26
  There you go. There you go.
• 1:01:28
  Love that, can you? Drown in 6-7 and you know 6
• 1:01:31
  crap. Oh yeah, I still don't know what
• 1:01:35
  it means. Drowning in the Skippity.
• 1:01:37
  Toilet. Oh my Lord, that's just not OK.
• 1:01:40
  I'm so glad I'm not at that stage yet, but I am about to
• 1:01:43
  enter the terrible twos and the tantrums have started.
• 1:01:46
  So please tell me that it it doesn't last that long because
• 1:01:49
  I'm. Already doesn't suffer and.
• 1:01:51
  Oh no. Yeah, I'd say that.
• 1:01:54
  People say they're terrible twos and then someone gave me a
• 1:01:56
  phrase for the threes but I can't remember where it was but
• 1:01:58
  it was very applicable. Ferrell.
• 1:02:01
  Awful Ferrell. Horrible.
• 1:02:02
  Yeah. Just just.
• 1:02:05
  Can you regret my life choices? I'm joking, I actually do.
• 1:02:11
  I do like my children, I promise.
• 1:02:12
  I just. I really also like being alone
• 1:02:15
  the. White words.
• 1:02:17
  God, I'm really excited about the next few years of my life.
• 1:02:21
  Oh dear, awesome. Thank you so much for telling us
• 1:02:24
  a little bit more about you guys.
• 1:02:25
  It's it's nice to learn about who you are as people.
• 1:02:28
  It's important that our listeners know that you have a
• 1:02:30
  life outside of the band as well.
• 1:02:32
  But I love that the band is a main focus for all of you.
• 1:02:34
  So that's awesome. Thank you so much.
• 1:02:38
  It's time for Song of the Week. Things are a little different
• 1:02:42
  this week because we are actually going to be talking
• 1:02:43
  about you guys. Yes, so exciting.
• 1:02:47
  So we thought that we'd play one of your wonderful covers for our
• 1:02:51
  listeners and also one of your top played songs on Spotify.
• 1:02:54
  Does that sound good? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:57
  Sounds good to me. Awesome.
• 1:02:58
  So we're going to start. We're going to start.
• 1:03:01
  Let's talk about 5 colours in her hair.
• 1:03:42
  So I feel like there could be a really obvious answer to this,
• 1:03:44
  but you want to tell us why you chose 5 colours in particular to
• 1:03:49
  cover to cover from McFly? It's an absolute banger, isn't
• 1:03:54
  it? Great answer, Ryan.
• 1:04:00
  I mean, I mean, you say that, Ryan, but as soon as we started
• 1:04:03
  playing it, my goodness, we did not realise how fast that song
• 1:04:06
  goes. It's mental.
• 1:04:09
  Yeah. Yeah, it's like 196 BPM.
• 1:04:15
  Oh wow, it's so fast. My next question was going to
• 1:04:18
  be, how the hell do you play that on guitar and sing at the
• 1:04:20
  same time? Because it's just metal.
• 1:04:23
  It's so crazy. Lots.
• 1:04:24
  Of who'd Luca's head? Orange.
• 1:04:27
  I see who who does the the guitar solo like the main guitar
• 1:04:31
  solo? That'll be me, yeah.
• 1:04:35
  Yeah, yeah. Love that there.
• 1:04:38
  That's my favourite because in in McFly, it's TomTom usually
• 1:04:42
  does that bit. My main man, my main man, Mr
• 1:04:45
  Fletcher, I love that. OK, so I absolutely I love the
• 1:04:50
  cover and I was a little bit sad that it wasn't the whole song
• 1:04:52
  when you sent me the clip. I was like, I need the rest of
• 1:04:54
  it. Where's the rest of it?
• 1:04:56
  It's so good. You guys have really got that
• 1:04:58
  like that pop punk like energy. And obviously we're going to go
• 1:05:02
  to talk about your songs in a moment, your original songs as
• 1:05:05
  well. But as far listeners, we wanted
• 1:05:07
  to add that little bit of McFly in as well, because you really
• 1:05:11
  did like, you did put your own sort of spin on it in a really
• 1:05:14
  good way that didn't like divert too much from the original, but
• 1:05:18
  it did make it sound a little bit more.
• 1:05:20
  Yeah, like a little bit more unique.
• 1:05:22
  Is that something that you did purposely, or is it something
• 1:05:24
  that just sort of flowed in its own way?
• 1:05:29
  I think, sorry to talk over you Ryan.
• 1:05:32
  I think we've ended up blending a little bit the the original 5
• 1:05:36
  colours in her hair and we blended it a little bit with the
• 1:05:39
  US version. So when we first started
• 1:05:43
  learning it, Ryan said to us like, Oh yeah, learn the US
• 1:05:47
  version. But then when we come to
• 1:05:50
  practise it, it all sounded a little bit off and we couldn't
• 1:05:52
  really work out why. And what had actually happened
• 1:05:56
  was what Ryan had meant was play in the style of the US version
• 1:06:01
  where it's got a bit more distortion.
• 1:06:03
  And so me and Ali were playing like the different, like notes
• 1:06:06
  and stuff because it is a bit more, it's played slightly
• 1:06:09
  differently. And so we've ended up like
• 1:06:12
  blending the two together. And so, yeah, like I know you
• 1:06:17
  said obviously the full, but it's because we we played on our
• 1:06:20
  tour, so we had people like record clips of it in the crowd.
• 1:06:24
  So I sort of picked out the best one.
• 1:06:27
  But yeah, as an overall, particularly as the song gets
• 1:06:29
  into the second-half of the song, you can sort of hear the
• 1:06:32
  crossover a little bit more. So yeah, it's a bit of a blend
• 1:06:35
  of the two versions, I'd say. That's cool, though.
• 1:06:38
  That's nice. Yeah.
• 1:06:40
  That you took something from each of them.
• 1:06:42
  I like that. I do have a bone to pick with
• 1:06:44
  you though and just you know, or drum roll and it is a a bone in
• 1:06:50
  particular because you sing. She's just Stilona with a sexy
• 1:06:54
  attitude. I'd like to phone her because it
• 1:06:56
  puts me in the mood when the actual UK the UK version is.
• 1:06:59
  I'd like to bone her and I was really sad that I didn't hear
• 1:07:01
  the word bone. I'm sorry I.
• 1:07:05
  Shall Was that a personal choice?
• 1:07:08
  I just mix it up. I will amend that for you.
• 1:07:11
  Please do and we play and please do exactly and I'll know.
• 1:07:15
  I'll know. I'll be in the crowd and I'll
• 1:07:16
  know. I'll just give me a little nod.
• 1:07:18
  Sometimes I'll know. Sometimes change it in the verse
• 1:07:21
  as well that Rob cooks in the nude.
• 1:07:24
  I think I was listening to the clip the other day and I heard I
• 1:07:29
  replayed that bit because I thought, hang on a minute, he's
• 1:07:32
  not singing the lyrics there. Then I realised that you were
• 1:07:35
  singing something different, but I genuinely couldn't work out
• 1:07:37
  what you were saying. And now I'm so glad that you've
• 1:07:39
  told me what it was. That's just made my whole.
• 1:07:41
  Life, thank you very much. There you go.
• 1:07:44
  Mystery song. I love that.
• 1:07:45
  So, yeah, very good. Fantastic. 10 out of 10 cover
• 1:07:49
  for me, but change phone back to bone, please.
• 1:07:51
  Thank you very much. So we've been having a listen to
• 1:07:55
  your Spotify releases and I have to say I love them genuinely.
• 1:07:59
  I'm not just saying that very, very nostalgic vibes.
• 1:08:04
  Also, you're really good at selling a story, which in
• 1:08:07
  previous episodes we've said is one of our favourite things
• 1:08:09
  about songwriting specifically. Like the Busted vibes, like
• 1:08:13
  their first album, is very storytelly storytellery.
• 1:08:17
  I love that. And you really give that.
• 1:08:20
  I love honeymoon, but I also really love the vibe of Night
• 1:08:23
  drive. Honestly, it gave me like all
• 1:08:24
  time low busted. That kind of era which our
• 1:08:28
  listeners will know is an era of music.
• 1:08:30
  I I live in, I don't. Live from.
• 1:08:33
  There. So literally, yeah, 10 out of
• 1:08:35
  10. Shannon's music taste hasn't
• 1:08:38
  changed in the like, how long have I known you now, Shannon?
• 1:08:40
  Like 14 years or something. It's not changed.
• 1:08:42
  We've listened to the same songs back then at 18 that we still
• 1:08:45
  listen to now at 33. Yeah, it was.
• 1:08:49
  So funny. So there is one one song
• 1:08:52
  particularly that I want to give a special mention and it's your
• 1:08:56
  most played song on Spotify. I was thinking at the view
• 1:08:58
  count, listen count earlier and that is honeymoon.
• 1:09:01
  And I have to say, genuinely felt like it was a personal
• 1:09:04
  attack because it was so relatable, which is really sad
• 1:09:08
  because the song is like, it's quite emotional in a way.
• 1:09:12
  And it's, yeah, it is. It was quite relatable.
• 1:09:15
  Do you want to tell the listeners a little bit about the
• 1:09:17
  song Honeymoon, what it's about, if there's an inspiration behind
• 1:09:20
  it or a story? I'm not sure who you want to
• 1:09:23
  nominate to discuss it, but we'll leave that up to you.
• 1:09:45
  Honeymoon for me was the first time that I thought about
• 1:09:50
  writing about not just experiences that I've had, but
• 1:09:53
  sort of experiences that I've observed like people in my life
• 1:09:57
  going through. And it's something that sort of
• 1:10:03
  it scared me a little bit because I was like, is happily
• 1:10:07
  ever after a real thing? Like, is it just a continent
• 1:10:09
  cycle of, you know, going through something that seems
• 1:10:13
  real and then it ends up in tatters?
• 1:10:17
  So yeah, for me it was, it was the beginning of like us as a
• 1:10:21
  band, as a trio. It was like as introduction to
• 1:10:27
  and you approach the songwriting, which like you said
• 1:10:29
  is is more or less the storytelling aspect.
• 1:10:33
  I think it's very important to like engage with people and sort
• 1:10:38
  of have it relatable about true things that happen every day to,
• 1:10:42
  you know, to many, many people. Oh 100%.
• 1:10:45
  I think that's what got me when like because I was just liking
• 1:10:47
  like through them and I think I just listened in order from like
• 1:10:50
  the first song down and when it came on I was like, it was the
• 1:10:53
  first few lyrics. I feel sorry for the ones stuck
• 1:10:57
  in matrimony. I heard that straight away and I
• 1:10:59
  was like, oh and I was like. I was sort of scared of getting
• 1:11:07
  married because I was like everyone I seem to know has, you
• 1:11:09
  know, sort of gone off and got married and then all of a sudden
• 1:11:12
  it's gone down the toilet. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:11:15
  And being a recently married woman, just to let you know,
• 1:11:19
  this scared the living shit out of me when I heard this.
• 1:11:24
  But equally me and my husband have been married.
• 1:11:26
  Well, we'll be two years officially in April.
• 1:11:27
  We we had a little registry office wedding and then last
• 1:11:30
  year we had an actual wedding. But we have been married two
• 1:11:32
  years this year, but we've been together for like it'll be 9
• 1:11:35
  years this year. We've been together.
• 1:11:36
  So you know, we've practically been married for a long time.
• 1:11:40
  But I really did. It did struck struck a nerve
• 1:11:42
  with me this song, and I think it like not in like a all my
• 1:11:45
  marriage is ending kind of way because it wasn't like that at
• 1:11:48
  all. Hopefully he doesn't listen to
• 1:11:50
  this. He's probably in another room.
• 1:11:53
  But you do you actually do you do notice the things that you
• 1:11:57
  talk about? And I know Shannon, obviously
• 1:12:00
  you and your partner aren't married, but you've been
• 1:12:01
  together for a very long time. And I know that you probably
• 1:12:04
  appreciated what I was talking about when I said they were
• 1:12:07
  quite relatable. The story, the story vibe a bit
• 1:12:11
  like I think it was the bit where is it he starts to notice
• 1:12:17
  a change or she ever does this complain.
• 1:12:19
  And I was like, Oh my God, that's me.
• 1:12:22
  She's moan all the time. Such a literal.
• 1:12:25
  I'm such a whinger. But the little she doesn't do
• 1:12:29
  love songs anymore. You can keep Bublé at the door.
• 1:12:31
  It's too late for lighting candles.
• 1:12:33
  It seems like a mess that you can't untangle.
• 1:12:35
  Did the fire burn too fast? Did the sparks just fade away?
• 1:12:38
  Every promise couldn't last with nothing left to say.
• 1:12:40
  My God, Ryan, what lyrics they are.
• 1:12:44
  Oh, I got goosebumps reading them then as well.
• 1:12:47
  They are phenomenal, phenomenal songwriting.
• 1:12:51
  I mean, this one in itself, like it it had a you vibe.
• 1:12:56
  Do you know what I mean? Like a Wednesday at 7 vibe.
• 1:12:58
  I didn't listen to this and think, Oh, it's very busted
• 1:13:00
  Escort. Oh, it's McFly escort.
• 1:13:02
  Oh, it's naughty. It's like this is you.
• 1:13:04
  Like I could tell that this is like this was a deep song and
• 1:13:07
  this was something that you wrote really like sitting down
• 1:13:10
  and like thinking about what you were saying.
• 1:13:12
  And I think actually in general, like all of your songs are like
• 1:13:15
  that, but this one for me really did like, yeah, just struck a
• 1:13:19
  nerve. Don't know how else to put it,
• 1:13:22
  but yeah, absolutely loved that one.
• 1:13:25
  There's a couple of songs, obviously, that we'd like to
• 1:13:28
  speak about. You've got quite a couple on
• 1:13:31
  Spotify. Can we also talk about the
• 1:13:35
  Charlie Simpson esque style of your vocal tone please, in that
• 1:13:39
  song? Because I die dead, dead,
• 1:13:45
  literally die dead. And I remember texting Shannon,
• 1:13:47
  like Shannon, if you listened to this song, because he sounds
• 1:13:50
  like Charlie Simpson. And she's not even joking.
• 1:13:54
  She actually did send. That I genuinely did.
• 1:13:56
  I genuinely did. And you know, what's really cool
• 1:13:58
  is that all of the all of the songs that we've listened to of
• 1:14:02
  yours are so different and the vibe of them is so different.
• 1:14:05
  But you've got like that continuality where you can tell
• 1:14:09
  the sort of like vibe that you're bringing throughout all
• 1:14:11
  of them, even though they're very different in the, in the
• 1:14:14
  lyrics and the sort of style of them.
• 1:14:16
  But your voice is so versatile. It's actually crazy.
• 1:14:20
  Like how do you sound so different in like, like every
• 1:14:23
  song sounds so different. How do you even do that?
• 1:14:28
  I honestly I don't know it just. Comes naturally to me.
• 1:14:34
  I've been blessed and cursed at the same time, of sort of
• 1:14:39
  different voices, but it it all comes down to, like you said,
• 1:14:45
  the vibe of the song. So whatever feels right to me is
• 1:14:50
  what I go with. So like for honeymoon, for
• 1:14:51
  example, it just felt natural to go to my lower register.
• 1:14:57
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:15:00
  But then again, you go to something like talk or night
• 1:15:03
  drive and it's sort of more mid range, sort of a bit higher,
• 1:15:09
  like tumbling whiny kind of thing.
• 1:15:11
  Well, that we've also, I've written that down like your
• 1:15:14
  falsetto sections in talk, because that was mental as well.
• 1:15:18
  I thought that was insane. I've put da da da da da da da
• 1:15:23
  da. I can't remember the way the way
• 1:15:25
  it goes, but that was a bit. I was talking about the the
• 1:15:29
  intro section to talk you do your sort of it was very, very
• 1:15:33
  McFly for me. Like when I listened to that, I
• 1:15:36
  was like, Oh my God, it sounds so like their sort of vibe.
• 1:15:39
  You know, they do like the like, it was very much like that.
• 1:15:47
  And they do the do do, do, do, do, do all of those that sort of
• 1:15:51
  that intro with the really. Yeah.
• 1:15:54
  It just sounded very McFly for me.
• 1:15:56
  I love that. Do you want to talk us through
• 1:15:58
  Talk and tell us sort of about what that song is?
• 1:16:01
  And then I'd love to go over to to Rob and Ally and talk a
• 1:16:04
  little bit more about the music behind the lyrics as well.
• 1:16:07
  But we'll go back to you, Ryan, first.
• 1:16:08
  Do you want to talk us through the story of Talk?
• 1:16:26
  She went through me baby this morning.
• 1:16:30
  It's a pretty baby. That's so traumatic to me.
• 1:16:36
  Don't make you lonely. Why'd you never fool me?
• 1:16:39
  Where's that place you'd like to be?
• 1:16:51
  Yeah, so talk is a bit of a conflict within yourself where
• 1:17:01
  you might be struggling with something or someone, and that
• 1:17:05
  someone might be making things a hell of a lot worse by
• 1:17:08
  constantly pushing you to talk. Making out things will just be
• 1:17:13
  all right when they want. So for me, when I think about
• 1:17:18
  talk, it is literally you're addressing like a situation with
• 1:17:24
  with someone, but at the same time you find a conflict within
• 1:17:28
  yourself and it's sort of like expression and that that release
• 1:17:31
  of frustration and I don't know, just I'm just fed up with it.
• 1:17:37
  I just want to get rid of that horrible do.
• 1:17:39
  You know what, I think it's such a amazing song.
• 1:17:43
  And my husband isn't into like, pop rock.
• 1:17:46
  He listens a lot to like old songs and he's got quite a
• 1:17:49
  specific taste. It's wide, but it's specific.
• 1:17:52
  He listens to a bit of country, a bit of, I think the lyrics to
• 1:17:56
  this song he would love because I know that he would really
• 1:17:59
  relate to that. I am a talker.
• 1:18:02
  I really do like to talk things through.
• 1:18:04
  So when I listened to this for the first time, I was like, oh,
• 1:18:07
  this is me again. I've listened to two songs and
• 1:18:10
  I'm already like you're writing about my life, this is me, but
• 1:18:14
  I'm the other side of what you're saying.
• 1:18:16
  I'm the 1 whispering, saying we can talk about it, there's no
• 1:18:19
  need to panic. Don't be so dramatic.
• 1:18:20
  That is you, that's me. It really is.
• 1:18:23
  And when I listened to it I was like, oh for God's sake.
• 1:18:26
  But it's so again, the storytelling element of it, Ryan
• 1:18:30
  is so wonderful, I think. Do you do all the writing
• 1:18:33
  yourself or do the the other boys write with you a bit as
• 1:18:35
  well? Or is it mainly are you mainly
• 1:18:37
  the songwriter? It's, it's a bit of a mix up
• 1:18:41
  really when it comes to the like the meaning behind the song, the
• 1:18:46
  story of the song, if you like, a sort of, I get things going,
• 1:18:52
  yeah. But yeah, we we all sort of
• 1:18:54
  contribute to it. I love that.
• 1:18:57
  Like, like me and Rob will sort of go through the lyrics that
• 1:19:01
  I've had that I've got, or if I'm stuck on something, we sort
• 1:19:04
  of bounce ideas to each other. And then obviously we've got Ali
• 1:19:09
  Ali on drums, which is is just sensational.
• 1:19:12
  It just adds so much. Yeah, the backbone.
• 1:19:15
  Like your very own Harry Judd? Yeah.
• 1:19:19
  But yeah, it is, it is a collaborative sort of process.
• 1:19:23
  Nice. But at the same time, yeah, it
• 1:19:26
  sort of comes from most of the time, like conversation sounds
• 1:19:31
  really strange, but like, yeah, conversations I have with myself
• 1:19:34
  in my head, like going over life events and situations.
• 1:19:40
  Yeah, it's amazing. Again, it's you're a very good
• 1:19:43
  songwriter. All of you in contributing to
• 1:19:46
  the music is amazing as well. Working collaboratively moving
• 1:19:49
  over to to Robin Alley. I'd love to talk to you guys a
• 1:19:52
  little bit more about the music. Rob, I know you told me that
• 1:19:56
  you're you do bass and obviously like with with bass guitar ring
• 1:20:01
  like. I don't play guitar.
• 1:20:03
  I play a little bit of guitar, but I'm not very guitar yet.
• 1:20:05
  Shannon's the guitarist here. But bass is, I think, such an
• 1:20:10
  underrated instrument, don't you think?
• 1:20:13
  Do you think bass is underrated? Right, Yeah, I would agree.
• 1:20:18
  What's interesting actually is what I keep seeing on TikTok at
• 1:20:21
  the minute, because obviously I get like it recognises what you
• 1:20:26
  like to watch, don't it? So I get mixed into what seems
• 1:20:31
  to be content about sea lions recently is a content about bass
• 1:20:35
  guitars. So yeah, it caught me off guard,
• 1:20:41
  but I love it. So I keep seeing people posting
• 1:20:47
  like videos and it's like people say bass is underrated.
• 1:20:52
  Like hear this song without bass and like, it's just like your
• 1:20:57
  popular songs that you wouldn't necessarily think about into
• 1:21:00
  like, so the last one I heard was one of the Dua Lipa songs
• 1:21:03
  and they'd done it without the bass.
• 1:21:05
  And it's like, oh, do you know what?
• 1:21:06
  Like I think it makes people recognise because I don't think,
• 1:21:10
  I think musicians and stuff can pick out the different
• 1:21:12
  instruments, but people that just listen to music just listen
• 1:21:16
  to it and don't realise something's missing.
• 1:21:18
  They're like, oh, something's not right here, but I don't know
• 1:21:20
  what. But yeah, I think the age-old
• 1:21:24
  joke is that like the bassist kind of just chills players got
• 1:21:28
  the notes, maybe maybe knows what they're doing.
• 1:21:32
  And yeah, like I think I know we've spoke a lot about talk,
• 1:21:37
  but I'll talk about talk as well.
• 1:21:39
  Is that the baseline in that is is really quite?
• 1:21:43
  Yeah, it's it's it's quite prominent.
• 1:21:46
  And the same in Back of the Line as well.
• 1:21:49
  That's also a really sort of prominent baseline as well.
• 1:21:52
  Like without them in there, I feel like the songs lose quite a
• 1:21:56
  bit of life. 100%, yeah. That's why I wanted to sort of
• 1:21:59
  touch on that bass sort of side of things because it really is,
• 1:22:02
  it is prominent, especially if you do have a musical ear.
• 1:22:05
  But can we also talk about your backing vocals, please?
• 1:22:07
  Because I live for a harmony and I love, absolutely, I love it.
• 1:22:14
  I love the backing vocals. I think that obviously Ryan's
• 1:22:18
  voice is amazing and we talked about his verses utility and
• 1:22:20
  stuff earlier, But equally as a backing vocalist, it's important
• 1:22:25
  to blend in and not take any sort of shine away from the the
• 1:22:30
  lead singer. But also it's so important to
• 1:22:32
  get it right. And I know you said earlier, you
• 1:22:35
  know, you, I think you put yourself down a little bit as a,
• 1:22:37
  as a backing singer earlier, but I think you're wonderful and I
• 1:22:40
  love your harmonies. Do you, do you enjoy like the
• 1:22:44
  singing aspect of it, or are you more like you like the guitarist
• 1:22:47
  and you just do the singing because you've got to?
• 1:22:49
  I'm much more focusing on bass by a country mile.
• 1:22:53
  Like when we did backing vocals at first the person we record
• 1:22:59
  with it was a case of because Ryan's got such a broad vocal
• 1:23:06
  tone. Like funnily enough, Honeymoon
• 1:23:10
  actually was in a higher Kia 1st and and it slowly sort of
• 1:23:16
  changed. Yeah, it went through quite a
• 1:23:18
  few reiterations. And when it comes to the backing
• 1:23:22
  vocals, mine in that are really sort of like low sat in the back
• 1:23:27
  of the mix. And but yeah, when we done it,
• 1:23:33
  in my head I was thinking that this don't sound great, but the
• 1:23:35
  guy we record with, it was just like, Oh yeah, this is
• 1:23:38
  ridiculous. How well they sort of.
• 1:23:40
  Fit with each other so good so good and you know what it it
• 1:23:43
  does add another layer to the song as well like genuinely
• 1:23:46
  having backing vocals I think is so important and harmonies just
• 1:23:49
  make a song change completely so we enjoyed it you're.
• 1:23:53
  Such a big fan of harmonies. We could even, we could be like
• 1:23:56
  in a karaoke booth and she's like, come on, I'm singing the
• 1:23:58
  harmony. Literally, I will harmonise to
• 1:24:01
  anything, like you could literally be crying and I will
• 1:24:03
  try and harmonise with you, yeah.
• 1:24:05
  But you, you guys said you were music theatre, right?
• 1:24:08
  Like music theatre, theatre history harmonies definitely
• 1:24:12
  make Yeah. I don't know in West End shows
• 1:24:15
  anything like that. As soon as a harmony hits, it's
• 1:24:17
  like. 100% it's the background of theatre actually.
• 1:24:21
  Here, Yes, yes, absolutely. It really is.
• 1:24:23
  It really is. We love it.
• 1:24:24
  And I remember my friends like like getting annoyed with me
• 1:24:27
  when I was younger because I would never sing the main
• 1:24:29
  melody. I'd always sing the harmony.
• 1:24:31
  That's what he just that's. What Bradley does in the car, to
• 1:24:33
  me, he's like, why are you singing it wrong?
• 1:24:35
  I'm like, I'm not. Singing the harmony he's.
• 1:24:39
  Like shut up. My goodness.
• 1:24:42
  OK, we're going to move on to the last song, which I know we,
• 1:24:46
  we haven't spoke about night Drive, but we'll, we'll sort.
• 1:24:49
  I wanted to focus a little bit on back of the line because when
• 1:24:52
  me and Shannon first discovered your page, now it was me
• 1:24:55
  originally that discovered your reel that said like, looking for
• 1:24:58
  Busted and McFly fans who love like pop punk music.
• 1:25:01
  And I was like, Oh my God, that's us.
• 1:25:04
  Hello. Hi, and I commented straight
• 1:25:06
  away and I remember messaging Shannon, I mean, like I just
• 1:25:08
  found this band and they like they sound like similar to the
• 1:25:11
  style and I've messaged them and hope they'll come on the podcast
• 1:25:15
  and here we are. So you know, my little fangirl
• 1:25:17
  moment. But Back of the Line was the
• 1:25:20
  song that we heard a lot at the beginning because I think it was
• 1:25:23
  one that you were promoting a bit more on your Instagram.
• 1:25:25
  And like all of the videos that we we saw had Back of the Line
• 1:25:30
  sort of in or like over the top of like an overlay.
• 1:25:33
  So talk us through Back of the Line and sort of what it means
• 1:25:37
  to you guys because it seems like it's quite a big song for
• 1:25:40
  you. Do you think it's one of your
• 1:25:41
  bigger? Do you like prefer this to your
• 1:25:43
  other songs? Is it one of your favourites?
• 1:25:45
  It seemed to overtake your Instagram a bit.
• 1:25:48
  Ali, should we go to you because I feel like we haven't heard
• 1:25:50
  from you for a while. I mean, yeah, I would say, I
• 1:25:55
  think in terms of all the songs that we've worked on, that back
• 1:25:59
  of the line definitely became like one of our favourites.
• 1:26:02
  I mean, I'm talking for all of us now, but I'd say, yeah, it,
• 1:26:05
  it felt quite experimental almost compared.
• 1:26:08
  I'd say like it has a much more heavier sound than than the
• 1:26:11
  other songs that we've released. And that was really what we were
• 1:26:15
  working for you. We were working for this whole
• 1:26:17
  like portfolio of different sounds.
• 1:26:19
  And, and, and I think you said earlier, like we do have every
• 1:26:23
  song we have is, is slightly different in a way.
• 1:26:25
  Yeah, I think it's, it's, it's us being able to experiment with
• 1:26:29
  like, with different sounds and with different, yeah, like, like
• 1:26:32
  heavinesses and things like that.
• 1:26:33
  And I think back of the Line was definitely quite experimental.
• 1:26:36
  And when we did that, that breakdown in it, that bit was
• 1:26:39
  just like, I don't know, that's what we've anytime we go to a
• 1:26:43
  rehearsal, we always, I think it might be me that leads into it.
• 1:26:46
  But when we're just jamming, I always go into 1/2 time sort of
• 1:26:50
  breakdown vibe. And it's because I've always
• 1:26:52
  wanted to slip it into a song somewhere.
• 1:26:54
  And now we've finally got it in a song.
• 1:26:56
  So I get my way. I love that.
• 1:26:59
  But yeah, I mean, in terms of like what that song kind of
• 1:27:02
  means, yeah. Ryan's always the best person.
• 1:27:04
  He's he's a lyric man. He's the lyric master man, so.
• 1:27:09
  It's a bit darker in its in its vibe.
• 1:27:12
  And there's like a little bit on Spotify.
• 1:27:14
  I've got it next to me just so that I could like flick through
• 1:27:17
  the lyrics while we were talking about it.
• 1:27:19
  There's like a bit of a video in the background of you guys and
• 1:27:22
  it's so cool. It's awesome.
• 1:27:23
  It looks so professional and so like something you would see on
• 1:27:26
  like Kerrang. Do you know what I mean?
• 1:27:27
  Like, I love it. It's so cool, Yeah.
• 1:27:30
  That was our that was our first music video.
• 1:27:32
  So you filmed the full music video?
• 1:27:33
  I think I've got access to that. I think Rob sent me some of your
• 1:27:36
  files. So I'm looking forward to having
• 1:27:38
  a look at the music video. I focused on listening to the
• 1:27:40
  music because we were doing audio and not video this time,
• 1:27:43
  but I would definitely click on that later and have a little
• 1:27:46
  look at that. How did you feel in in doing a
• 1:27:49
  music video? Was that like fun?
• 1:27:51
  Did you enjoy it? Was it like a nerve wracking
• 1:27:53
  process? Yeah, Joe, I thought it was
• 1:27:56
  really good. It's definitely.
• 1:27:59
  Yeah, it's definitely different. We end up playing that song so
• 1:28:02
  many times. I'll give a little insight into
• 1:28:05
  it. So when you watch it, I don't
• 1:28:07
  know if, like any of you, are fans of Stranger Things at all.
• 1:28:11
  Oh. My God absolutely stands.
• 1:28:14
  OK, OK. Yeah, literally.
• 1:28:18
  So yeah, me and Ali are really big fans, the Stranger Things as
• 1:28:21
  well. And I mean, Ryan is, but I don't
• 1:28:25
  think he's like the same level as as us.
• 1:28:28
  So on tour, actually we went, we went to the Stranger Things Cafe
• 1:28:30
  in Manchester as well. It's in the Primark, but that's
• 1:28:32
  a that's a that's a side quest. But yeah, no, the the music
• 1:28:38
  video, that was the it's heavily inspired by the Upside Down is
• 1:28:43
  all I'll say. So Oh my gosh, I'm.
• 1:28:45
  So excited to see it. Absolutely bossing.
• 1:28:49
  That sounds so cool. Oh, thank you so much for
• 1:28:51
  sharing that with us. Because you don't often get like
• 1:28:54
  insights into behind the songs and behind music videos and
• 1:28:57
  things. And those are like little things
• 1:28:58
  that only the band would know. So I feel like we've got a bit
• 1:29:00
  of inside knowledge there. Thank you very much.
• 1:29:05
  It's that time again for us to say thank you so much for
• 1:29:08
  listening and joining us for another episode of Galaxy
• 1:29:10
  Crashers coming up next week. We're heading back to McFly with
• 1:29:14
  Met This Girl. Oh yes, what a banger and
• 1:29:17
  obviously a massive, massive thank you to you guys for
• 1:29:21
  joining us. Would you like to do a quick
• 1:29:24
  plug for your socials and your new shows and your music?
• 1:29:28
  Yeah, absolutely. So we'll start with our socials.
• 1:29:31
  They are Wednesday at seven across the board that is spelt
• 1:29:35
  WNSDY. So if you have a smart speaker
• 1:29:39
  and you want to ask them to play it, you have to spell it out
• 1:29:42
  because we didn't think about that when we named that band.
• 1:29:44
  Oh my. Gosh.
• 1:29:47
  Show wise, we've got a few coming up, so our next show is
• 1:29:52
  supporting a band called Waster, if you've heard of them, that'll
• 1:29:55
  be on the 27th of February in Sheffield.
• 1:29:58
  And then after that we have got a few shows.
• 1:30:02
  We've got a headline show, fairly local on the 20th of
• 1:30:05
  March and then we're supporting a band from France called 2
• 1:30:07
  Trains Left on the 7th of April in Leeds.
• 1:30:11
  So yeah, thank you. There you go.
• 1:30:15
  So if you drop us a follow, you'll see wherever we're
• 1:30:17
  playing next after them. Amazing.
• 1:30:20
  And we will come and find you when you come a little bit
• 1:30:22
  further down South. We will come and find you and we
• 1:30:25
  will be front row. And I'll be waiting for that
• 1:30:27
  lyric, Ryan, that lyric change and the Busted song.
• 1:30:29
  I'll be waiting. OK, Thank you so much, guys.
• 1:30:33
  Honestly, it's been amazing. And I think the fact that we've
• 1:30:35
  been talking for an over an hour and a half an hour goes to show
• 1:30:37
  how much fun we've had. So thank you for joining us.
• 1:30:40
  Good luck with all of your shows this year and we really can't
• 1:30:42
  wait to keep up to date with what you've been up to.
• 1:30:45
