McFly's Not Alone , YUNGBLUD TOUR + That’s So Raven 2000s Throwback Ep 26 · Galaxy Crashers: The Busted and McFly Podcast

0:09
Hello, everyone, and welcome back.
0:11
You're listening to Galaxy Crashers, The Busted, and McFly
0:14
podcast. The only place where Busted and
0:17
McFly come together. Hosted by us 2 mums who still
0:21
just measure time in CD releases and Top of the Pops appearances.
0:25
I'm Sham. And I'm Tay, and today's episode
0:29
is a good one. We've got our usual this or
0:31
that's. And this week, it's naughties
0:33
lost TV shows. Oh, and song of the week, we're
0:37
talking about something a little bit more emotional.
0:40
We are talking none other than Not Alone by McFly.
0:45
I don't think I'm emotionally ready for this, and it's been an
0:48
emotional week. Yeah, this one definitely hits a
0:52
little bit deeper than some of the other songs that we've been
0:54
talking about. It's not your typical upbeat,
0:57
you know, surfer babe McFly track.
0:59
It's more reflective and most definitely more emotional. 100%
1:04
definitely. It's one of those songs that
1:05
feel like a comfort blanket when you need it.
1:08
And I've needed one of those this week more than ever.
1:11
And I know you probably have to. So before we get into all of
1:14
this stuff, shall we share what our weeks have been like?
1:17
Yeah. And also, can I just say I would
1:19
love a little comfort blanket shaped like Danny Jones?
1:23
They would have to defer any of them any.
1:25
And can we just let everybody know that Shannon has a very
1:28
specific comfort blanket that has the face of Ian Somerhalder
1:32
all over it, which those of you who don't know who he is, he's
1:35
Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries, which I'm not going to
1:38
lie, pretty good comfort. Blanket it is and I take it
1:42
everywhere with me like I am like my 4 year old child.
1:46
When whenever, whenever my 4 year old child goes anywhere.
1:50
All she wants is her comfort blanket and that is me with my
1:53
Vampire Diaries blanket. So there you go, McFly busted.
1:56
Here's a new little merch trick for you.
1:58
Blankets with your faces on. I'll buy it and I'll take it
2:02
everywhere, I promise. Absolutely.
2:05
Anyway, how's your week been? Yeah, it's been OK, It's been
2:11
all right. I've not had a very good mental
2:13
health week but it's been the last week of half term and we
2:18
filled it to the brim and I think that might be why I'm
2:22
having a breakdown. Overload.
2:24
We've, yeah, literally, we've had trips to the seaside, we
2:28
went to Bristol, I visited parents, I've said seen friends,
2:32
I've done big homework projects. It's just been a lot and also my
2:38
marathon training has like upped notch, which is nice but.
2:41
Also Harry John, Harry John's back.
2:43
Yeah, it's scary, but also scary because my average non-stop run
2:48
is now like a non-stop run is an hour.
2:52
There's an also nice. It's really nice though because
2:55
that means I get an hour child free.
2:58
I love that for you. I'm so proud of you doing 9 K.
3:01
Literally 9 K. Like, what on earth?
3:03
Like I remember when you started this and you were like, I've got
3:06
to run for a full 15 minutes today.
3:08
How am I going to do it? And now you're running like for
3:11
an hour and 15 straight. Like, I know it's well done.
3:14
When I first started, I couldn't run outside for 60 seconds.
3:18
I could do it on my treadmill but I couldn't do it outside.
3:21
I was like so self-conscious and it was all very, very different.
3:24
And I remember I did Couch to 5K and my first big run was 20
3:30
minutes and I had like 3 anxiety attacks about it because I'm
3:34
doing it with a friend and it was that like not wanting to let
3:38
her down but also not feeling like I could ever run for 20
3:42
minutes straight. Yeah, that's literally where I'm
3:44
at. I'm at the beginning of the
3:45
running. I was actually, I was supposed
3:47
to start my running yesterday, but I decided against it because
3:50
I am so tired. But we'll go into that in a
3:52
minute. But.
3:54
It was. It was giving me inspiration.
3:56
Honestly, I actually stopped. A woman stopped us yesterday on
3:59
our run and she was like, oh, I've always wanted to run.
4:01
I was like, join me, I can do it.
4:03
Anyone can. Come with us.
4:06
I think I'll just stick to walking my dog and I was like
4:08
no, join me, join me. I love that.
4:12
And you know, I really love to be able to take my dog running,
4:14
but I can't because he has like he's not good on a road and I
4:19
cannot run on the sand dunes because the the floor is so
4:23
uneven. I tried it a few years ago and
4:25
on my hips and my knees and it was just awful.
4:27
It was so bad. So now I need to go back-to-back
4:30
to running, back to road running.
4:31
But yeah, nevermind. Sorry, carry on.
4:33
What are we going to say? No, I was just saying like, I
4:36
like, I remember breaking down after 20 minutes and now I'm
4:39
running for like minimum an hour.
4:41
I love that for you. And I was in school today and we
4:45
put a poster up for our like, fundraising page in the staff
4:49
room and a woman came over to us and she was like one of the
4:52
teachers. She was like, Oh my God, I'm so
4:53
proud of you guys. This is amazing.
4:55
How much was your last run? And we were like, oh, it was 9
4:58
K. And she was like, oh, cool,
5:00
cool. So did you walk any of that or
5:03
how much of it did you run and how much of it did you walk?
5:05
And we both, we looked at her and we were like, we ran the
5:08
whole thing. And that is like 5 1/2 miles.
5:12
Yes, the bar. That's so far.
5:14
And I was saying, I was saying to Danny, my friend who I run
5:17
with, I was like, when you put it into miles, because that's
5:20
how you're like, yeah, your K doesn't really.
5:24
You can people say like, oh, just on a cheeky 5K.
5:28
But that's if you said to somebody I've just ran for three
5:30
miles, it sounds so much more impressive.
5:32
You may also like that's like 6 minutes in the car driving at 60
5:37
mile an hour. Like that's how it works out
5:40
because if you drive 60 mile an hour, you're doing, No, I know,
5:43
but like if you work it out, like in maths in if you do 60
5:47
mile an hour, that's one mile per 160 mph, you're doing one
5:52
mile a minute. So it would take 6 minutes to do
5:55
6 miles. So that's how much, like that's
5:58
how much you're going. And that's so far like.
6:01
I know it's. Ridiculous.
6:03
Fair play to you, man. Seriously.
6:05
So cool. So we're going to have to start
6:06
calling you Shannon. Sorry, I was just saying this
6:10
time, next, Jeremy, we're going to be running alongside Harry
6:12
Judd because we're going to sign up for the London Marathon or
6:15
I'm going to stand on the side and I'm going to be cheering him
6:18
on with my I think I'm Harry Judd T-shirt on.
6:21
I was just going to say we're going to have to start calling
6:23
you Shannon Judd now, so. Shannon Judd I don't mind that
6:27
I. Love it.
6:27
I thought you would. I thought you'd like it.
6:31
How was your week anyway? It didn't start great, but it
6:37
ended really well. I am, I don't think I've been
6:41
this tired since my daughter was a newborn.
6:43
Like I'm absolutely exhausted. I've done a lot of driving in
6:47
the last, in the last seven days.
6:50
I, I think I mentioned on last week's podcast, my Nan's not
6:54
very well and she lives in Bristol.
6:55
So I took my little girl up to see her.
7:01
It's, it's not a great prognosis.
7:02
She's she's really, really poorly and she's probably not
7:05
going to be with us very long. So we're trying to spend as much
7:07
time with her as physically possible.
7:10
So I took Molly up for two days, but I stayed in Gloucester.
7:13
So I drove to Bristol, which was like 3 hours, 40 minutes.
7:16
And then I drove from there to Gloucester, which was another
7:18
hour. And then I drove back to Bristol
7:19
and then back to Gloucester and then back to Bristol the day
7:21
after that and then home. So I think I did like 15 hours
7:24
of driving in total. And then on the weekend, yeah,
7:28
with a 2 year old, which isn't fun if you haven't done it
7:30
before, it's not fun. She slept all of like an hour
7:34
and 20 minutes and it's like a four hour drive.
7:36
So it was, yeah, it was difficult.
7:39
Bless her. By the last hour she was just
7:41
not my friend. She was just like, go home,
7:44
mummy, go home. I was like, I know we're nearly
7:46
there, see Daddy, see Daddy. But she loved it and she loved
7:51
seeing my nan and I think it cheered my nan up to see her.
7:54
And we had a nice couple of days just all together.
7:57
And then I got to see Ricky, which is obviously my best
8:00
friend up in Gloucester, which was amazing.
8:02
Just to spend the evenings with him just decompressing and like,
8:05
not having to feel too emotional, actually just be able
8:08
to chat shit with my best friend instead of, you know, thinking
8:10
about everything that's going on.
8:11
So that was really nice. And then on Saturday I drove up
8:15
to Cardiff, which was another 4 hour journey there and then
8:19
another 4 hours home with my one of my mum friends Sasha and we
8:24
went to see Youngblood which was insane.
8:29
I've got a little done, like a little bit of a vlog didn't do
8:32
very well because by the time I got to the queue I'd just sort
8:35
of forgotten about it. I have got videos and some clips
8:38
and stuff and then I've got loads of videos and stuff of the
8:40
performances and oh, it was amazing.
8:42
We queued from about 12:31 at 1:00 PM, which got us literally
8:49
3rd row. So it was a really, we were
8:52
really close. It was so good.
8:54
Unfortunately, we had a lot of issues with people in the crowd,
8:57
which was so sad and not something that I expected at a
9:00
Youngblood concert because like the the Black Hearts Club seemed
9:04
to be so like united and like very much about.
9:08
Not when you're seeing him live. Yeah, like it's weird.
9:10
Crowds I've been with. It's mad, isn't it?
9:13
People talking about how it's a safe space and like how we're
9:16
all here to support each other and all that.
9:18
Oh my God, four people, Four people.
9:20
It was unreal. Actually, it was three people,
9:22
but one woman, twice. We actually had one lady at the
9:25
beginning. She punched a woman in the face
9:28
who was with her child, and her child was like, like, absolutely
9:32
just breaking down. She's like, she punched my mom.
9:34
She was very, very drunk and she was like ignoring everyone
9:38
around her and just jumping into them and like watching and
9:41
screaming and singing and looking at Dom and not actually
9:43
like thinking about there were kids in the crowd.
9:46
There were lots of children there.
9:47
Like not little little children, but like, you know, like 1011
9:50
year olds. It was great.
9:51
It was lovely to see some of them having their first concert,
9:53
like, and she was awful. She was so, so drunk to the
9:57
point where we literally were like shouting for security to
10:00
come and help us. And they sent somebody over and
10:03
they literally dragged her out because she was ignoring the
10:05
security, refused to leave. So she got dragged out.
10:09
And then literally within an hour she was back.
10:13
And she was so drunk. She was in the same place.
10:16
Yeah, in the same place again. She got all the way.
10:18
I don't know how they let her back in.
10:19
She was so, so drunk. She was so, so drunk.
10:22
She passed out in on the floor, just wasn't moving.
10:25
So this was during I can't Never.
10:29
Oh no, it wasn't during Dom set, it was during the Warning set
10:33
they were supporting. They were phenomenal.
10:36
By the way, if you have not listened to The Warning, get on
10:39
Spotify. It's an all A3 sister rock band
10:42
from Mexico. They were absolutely insane.
10:46
They were so good. We listened to a few of their
10:47
songs on the way up in the car and I was like, these guys are
10:50
going to be awesome. I didn't quite realise how cool
10:52
they were going to be until they got on stage.
10:53
They were amazing, but they cut their set short because this
10:55
woman passed out in the crowd. So we missed their last two
10:58
songs, which is so sad, literally.
11:01
And then that happened. And then about half an hour into
11:06
Dom set, we had a woman. I think it was a woman.
11:11
I'm not sure. It could have been a man.
11:13
I'm not sure. It was dark.
11:15
I think it was a woman. She was very, very tall.
11:17
She had short hair, but she was like, when I say very, very
11:21
tall, I mean like she was probably 6 foot 5.
11:23
Like she was so tall. And she was a big lady as well.
11:27
And, and she was like literally pushing these children out the
11:31
way to try and get to the front. And she was like walking like
11:36
along like parallel to the barrier to try and get to the
11:39
middle. And we were like, what are you
11:41
doing? And she said, my sister's over
11:43
there. I was like, I don't care where
11:45
your sister is, Hun. I said, you're not getting
11:46
through here. So if you want to try over
11:48
there, that's fine. But you're not getting through
11:49
here. I said, there are kids here and
11:51
we've created like a little circle for the children.
11:53
You're not coming through. And she said my sister's having
11:56
an anxiety attack over there. And I said, if your sister's
11:59
having an anxiety attack, then she should be leaving.
12:00
You shouldn't be going in. Do you know what I mean?
12:03
I've, I've had anxiety attacks in crowds.
12:06
I know you have as well. The last thing you want to be
12:08
doing is being in the middle of the crowd when you're having an
12:10
anxiety attack. You want to be getting out, not
12:13
getting people in. Then she was like fake crying
12:16
and we were like the security came over, tried to get her to
12:20
leave them. And then another woman not an
12:24
hour later, like middle-aged in a cowboy hat and like jumping
12:30
around like you've never seen. And I get there's like mosh
12:33
areas, but we were like on the side.
12:34
We weren't in a mosh pit. We weren't anywhere near like
12:37
what you would consider the. Mosh pit normally like right in
12:40
the middle. In the centre it wasn't exactly.
12:43
To know that the where the mosque, we.
12:44
Were literally at a barrier. We were at barrier with on the
12:48
right hand side. She came over and she was like,
12:51
I can't find my sisters that that's my sister, the girl with
12:54
the blue hair and the girl that she was pointing at had just
12:57
been on stage and played fleabag with Dom.
12:59
And I was like, that's not your sister.
13:00
That's the lady that the girl that was just on stage.
13:02
Like that's not yourself. This girl's like 17 and you're
13:04
like 50. Like this isn't this isn't
13:07
yourself. This was a different woman now.
13:09
This was a completely different another woman the the lady with
13:12
the sister that's having an anxiety attack had gone.
13:14
This was another woman looking for a sister who had blue hair.
13:17
She was jumping around. She was literally going damn at
13:21
the top of her voice when he was talking damn like screaming,
13:25
waving her arms in the air, bumping all the people around
13:28
her, jumping up and down. It was just I was like how is
13:32
this happening again? Like this is full.
13:35
It's genuinely put, it's put me off going again, like genuinely
13:38
like it made me feel really uncomfortable.
13:42
It's, it's a real shame really that that happened because other
13:45
than that it was really lovely and we made some lovely friends
13:47
in the queue and stuff as well. But it was just really sad for
13:50
that to be sort of like my memory of the night.
13:52
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, when I went to see him in
13:55
Cardiff, I think Neck Deep was sporting.
13:58
We made friends with this guy behind us because he was a Neck
14:00
deep fan. And they're like so chill.
14:02
Neck Deep fans are like the kind of fans you'd see.
14:05
They're either like mosh pit in or like a mosh pit or they're
14:09
like with a beer on the side just vibing.
14:11
Do you know what I mean? And there was this girl in front
14:15
of in front of me to the stage. I was barrier, but to like the
14:20
walkway. Do you know what I mean?
14:21
Yeah, Yeah. So she was in front of me to the
14:24
stage, but I was barrier walkway.
14:26
And she was like, she was elbows.
14:29
She was like putting her elbows out.
14:31
She was like, you're making me uncomfortable.
14:33
She turned around to me and she was like giving me dirty looks.
14:35
And I said to Bradley, what's going on?
14:37
And then I said to her, are you OK, love?
14:39
And she went, you're making me uncomfortable.
14:42
I don't want to be near you. I want you to leave.
14:44
And I was like, are you joking? I'm here with my boyfriend
14:47
talking to the the lad behind me.
14:49
I'm not doing anything about to you.
14:51
You keep brushing against me. I you're a barrier.
14:55
I hate being touched. You're a barrier, my love.
14:59
Go to the back. She was like, you're ruining my
15:01
experience. I don't want to be here anymore.
15:03
OK, leave. Go then.
15:04
OK, leave. Go out.
15:05
I'm sorry. You can't be a barrier if you
15:07
don't think you're going to get touched by other people.
15:09
Bugs into it. Do you know what I mean?
15:10
I'm so like anyone can make friends with me.
15:13
At a concert, I will make friends with the fucking floor
15:16
at a concert. I'll make friends with the
15:17
security guard. I am my happiest, most authentic
15:20
self. I'm not going to intentionally
15:23
annoy you. So if you're being, if you're
15:25
getting annoyed, then that's a you problem.
15:28
Absolutely, absolutely. And I just think like I, I'm, I
15:32
would have been more than happy for those people to sort of
15:35
stand where they were and, and just carry, you know, But no,
15:38
we've queued all day. We literally queued from midday.
15:40
Like we bit, we stood up for seven hours waiting for the
15:43
doors to open and we've stood up for another two hours since then
15:46
to see Dom. We are not moving.
15:48
I'm not moving for a, a person who's 6 foot something to stand
15:52
in front of me. No way, sorry.
15:55
You can see from the back, Hun, I'm 5 foot five.
15:58
I can't see from the back, like I don't need anybody in front of
16:02
me. I just think it could have been
16:04
better. But other than that it was a
16:06
lovely experience. And also we went to, and I'm
16:09
keeping this in mind for the next time that me and you are in
16:11
Cardiff because I imagine we will be at some point.
16:13
I'm sure McFly will be there at some point.
16:15
There is. We're not going to Cardiff,
16:17
we're going to Bristol. Oh yeah.
16:20
This is I had this exact same thought when I left at Airbnb.
16:23
She said are you back anytime soon?
16:25
I said Oh yeah I'm coming for waitress in August.
16:27
I went no I'm not I'm going to Bristol.
16:28
Sorry got that completely wrong. I went to this amazing adult
16:34
only golf like mini Golf Club slash bar.
16:38
It was the best thing ever. It was massive.
16:43
It was literally like an indoor assault course for golf.
16:47
And we got there at half like half eleven, 11:45.
16:50
It was literally because we thought there's no point in
16:52
sitting in the car waiting for an hour and a half to get out of
16:54
the car park. So we said right, we'll go.
16:57
And literally as we got to the car, the last cars were just
16:59
leaving at like half twelve. Oh, I love that.
17:02
At like half one 1:15 we got to the car.
17:05
So we went to this little golf thing.
17:07
For 20 for 22 lbs you get for two people, you get a free drink
17:13
each and we had cocktails. So a proper drink, you know, and
17:18
your golf like your two hour slot for golf.
17:21
And it was phenomenal. It had like I'll send you
17:25
pictures. It was so funny.
17:26
It had like, ridiculous, like rude graffiti on the wall.
17:31
And there was like a Ghostbusters corner and there
17:33
was like stupid, like lyrics. And there was literally a slide
17:38
in the middle of the course to get to the next hole.
17:42
You had to go down the slide. It was so funny.
17:45
It was like a mat, like, you know, like a helter skelter.
17:47
Like not helter skelter. Not, not round and round like
17:50
the bumpy ones that you go down like in a sack.
17:53
It was one of us. It was.
17:55
So much fun. It was absolutely hilarious.
17:58
We had the best time. It was called Golf Fang.
18:00
So for those of you that might be going to Cardiff anytime
18:03
soon, definitely check it out. It's over eighteens only, so it
18:05
was really, really fun. But yeah, it's a little bit of
18:08
like a bar slash club slash golf course.
18:10
Why not, you know, as you do, Yeah, we'll give that a go next
18:15
time we're there. But overall, a really good
18:17
weekend other than the annoying people in the crowd, which
18:20
actually will probably lead us quite well onto my this or that.
18:24
So shall we move to the next segment?
18:26
Let's do. It OK it's time for this or that
18:32
and today I've gone with something that actually doesn't
18:34
really go with the song. It goes with the week that I've
18:37
had so my this or that for you this week is standing at a
18:43
concert but you get 5 people minimum being absolute knob
18:47
heads or seated where everyone is lovely and you have easy
18:51
access to the bar but you're you know.
18:54
OK, this is really difficult for me.
18:56
This is really difficult because I'm a barrier girl through and
18:59
through. I'm a barrier girl through and
19:01
through. That's how I thought it'd be
19:03
hard. To I've I've only ever been to
19:06
two concerts where I've sat down in my life because I am front
19:12
row and also I'm I'm front row or nothing as well.
19:15
I will not. Be If you're going to stand, you
19:18
need to be in the first 3 rows. I'm 5 foot four, I need to be at
19:23
the front, cannot see behind anyone.
19:27
So this is really hard because the two times I've been seated,
19:31
one of them has been so bad and so high that even though I've
19:38
had ease of access to the bar and everyone around me was
19:40
lovely, I didn't enjoy the concert very much because I felt
19:44
like I was going to vomit off the whole or yeah, it was.
19:48
It was like I was anxiety really bad.
19:51
My other time was the Eris tour. Yeah, which was quite.
19:55
Good like perfect. It was perfect.
19:57
I went for I scheduled my Wii yeah, I enjoyed that.
20:01
I think we. All did that day and I.
20:03
Yeah, I scheduled my way and I didn't.
20:06
I didn't have to queue. Like we didn't queue for very
20:09
long. And it was lovely because you
20:10
knew when you were getting in, where you were sitting.
20:12
And I can't stand knob heads. Yeah, but.
20:18
I think I will say actually standing, actually thinking
20:21
about it because I think depends who I'm with.
20:24
Yeah, I think it depends who you're seeing.
20:27
Yeah, also because if I'm with you and there are knob heads
20:31
around me, we will just take the piss out of them until they just
20:34
don't end up being knob heads anymore.
20:35
They're the butt of the joke. Absolutely.
20:37
I think it depends on who you're seeing.
20:39
I think that if it's like somebody like Taylor Swift,
20:41
where it's so big and like the whole stage is a show.
20:45
Like if you think about the Eras Tour, like it was massive.
20:47
Like the stage was like the whole length of the arena.
20:50
She went up and down. The actual stage itself had like
20:53
so much set design, like dancers and music and lights and, you
20:59
know, trees and everything. Whereas like, if you're going to
21:02
like a McFly show, it's not like that.
21:05
Do you know what I mean? I feel like.
21:06
Yeah. I feel like sitting at the back
21:08
for McFly or Busted or something like that wouldn't be very good
21:13
in my eyes. Because you don't.
21:14
You go because you want the interaction.
21:17
Yeah, you want, I think. Like, I go for the interaction.
21:19
I go to see their faces, I go to see them pissing about with each
21:23
other and laughing and like joking with the crowd and like,
21:25
you don't get that if you're at the back of the O2.
21:28
Do you know what I mean? I think that the people that are
21:32
being knob heads are worth it. I think when you're going to a
21:35
bigger tour, sometimes seated is better.
21:37
And also like you said, it depends who you're with.
21:39
If you're, if I'm with you, I can accomplish anything.
21:42
So come at me knob heads because me and my elbows.
21:46
Are not moving. We are old enough to say that we
21:51
invent. We invented those elbows.
21:53
Yes, we did. I love it.
21:56
OK, good. So we agree.
21:57
That's cool. Yeah, so my this or that is is
22:01
about concerts as well actually like unintentionally, but it's a
22:06
bit, it's a bit more not alone. Y OK so my this or that is would
22:11
you rather be front row of a concert so you get to see like
22:16
85% of the show close up? Like up close and personal or
22:21
near the back but your front row to the B stage where they do all
22:25
the acoustic set. Oh, that's so hard.
22:30
So yeah. So like front row to the stage
22:34
or front row to the B stage, but you're at the back for most of
22:38
it. But when they do that up close
22:39
and personal bit, the acoustic bit, you're right there.
22:44
So I remember seeing Katy Perry back in Got to be like 2000 and
22:52
oh God I would have been about 1919.
22:58
God, when was I-19 that long ago?
23:00
I can't remember 14 years ago, 14 years ago.
23:06
So 2012. Yeah, 2012.
23:09
Wow, that is sad. I saw Katy Perry at the O2 in
23:12
London and she had a prism shaped stage.
23:14
It was her prism tour and it was like a triangle and we were
23:18
literally right at the end of the triangle, just on the right
23:20
hand side. And she did her whole acoustic
23:24
set there, like right in front of us.
23:25
Like I could see the whites of her eyes, but obviously the
23:30
majority of the show was down on the mainstage, so we didn't get
23:33
to see like all of the show up close.
23:35
But the acoustic set was 10 out of 10.
23:38
She sang by the grace of God. And I never have cried as much
23:41
as I did in that moment. And you see me cry at every show
23:44
I go to, but I bawled my eyes out at that song.
23:48
So I've been there. I've been at the B stage.
23:51
I love the B stage, but I love a front row.
23:57
I really do. I love a barrier.
23:59
I love being there for the majority of it and I know they
24:02
go off and they do their things. Like like I've told you before,
24:05
one of the best shows for me, like we've been to the Era's
24:08
tour and one of my highlight gigs is Mcbusted in the OMFG Pit
24:12
because we were at the front like there was and we were at
24:16
the front with no one else. There was only like 50 people in
24:19
there with us and there was so much room and it was just the
24:21
best ever. I just think being front row is
24:25
just, it's a different experience because when you're
24:28
even when you're watching the acoustic set, you're still, yes,
24:30
you're, you're maybe your front row to the B stage, but like
24:33
sometimes it's a different shape.
24:34
There's lots of other people there.
24:35
You're, you're not like front on.
24:37
I just think being at barrier is where I need to be.
24:42
Although saying that I have never been in as much pain as I
24:46
was in Sunday morning when I woke up after standing for about
24:50
11 hours I was in agony. I had to go back to the car
24:55
after the gig and put fluffy boots on.
24:57
You should have seen me walking around Cardiff, it was
24:58
hilarious. I was in my full young blood
25:00
outfit like like fishnets belt corset like fit and mesh like
25:06
see through dress and fluffy brown.
25:07
Boots so funny, I love. It was not a good look, I'm
25:12
telling you that right now. Too old.
25:14
Way too old. But yes.
25:15
I don't know what my answer would be for this because I've
25:18
never been to the B stage and I would love to be at the B stage
25:23
I think. I think actually my answer would
25:25
be front row unless I knew I wouldn't get front row and then
25:31
I would be B stage. Yeah, I think I'd be late.
25:33
Get there and I'm like. So late I get.
25:35
There and I'm like, you've got all the like people that have
25:38
paid more to go in earlier and then you've also got like 100
25:43
people in front of me. I'm not going to run down there.
25:46
I maybe I might stay by the B stage if there is one.
25:50
Yeah, I get that. I can never have.
25:52
I think there's never. I think there's a good choice.
25:55
Early. But yeah, yeah, well, the older
25:59
we get, the more we're going to be at that B stage, babe,
26:01
because I don't know how much longer I can queue for. 12 hours
26:06
absolutely killed me. It's time for Song of the Week.
26:13
And this week, we're talking Not Alone by McFly.
26:16
Oh yes, this one feels a little bit different I think from the
26:19
earlier stuff. It's still got that obvious,
26:21
like Poppy, Rocky McFly sound, but obviously it's a lot more
26:27
emotional and I think it hits a lot harder.
26:30
Oh, definitely. Yeah.
26:32
It leans into that more like serious side.
26:35
It's about like connection and support and reminding people
26:38
that, well, they're not alone. Oh, so cute.
26:41
But I think the lyrics really resonate as well, like
26:44
especially when you feel and you've felt really low.
26:47
Like I know both of us have had our own sort of issues with
26:50
mental health and that sort of stuff.
26:52
And I think a song like this is one of those when you're in
26:54
those really low moments, it really resonates with you and
26:57
you can just go back to it when you need to.
26:59
Do you know what I mean? Oh yeah, 100%.
27:01
And even when they go deep, they like it still feels hopeful.
27:03
Like I was saying to my friend the other day, I was like, I've
27:08
know I sound like a walking talking cliche when I say this,
27:12
but there are some songs that have genuinely saved my life.
27:16
I've got 100%. This is one of them.
27:19
Yeah, I think that, you know, we all have those songs that we
27:22
hear and we just can't, like, control our emotional reaction
27:26
to it. I feel like I get that with
27:27
this. I feel like.
27:28
And you know what? It sounds really silly, but I
27:31
get that with I'll be OK. Oh, I was just about to say
27:35
that. Oh, I love that.
27:36
OK, so it's the like, so uplifting and so like, you can't
27:40
be sad listening to that song. Do you know what I mean?
27:43
And it's like also when you're singing along to it, you're,
27:46
you're already giving yourself those like manifestation of like
27:50
being OK. Yeah, you're just like, and it's
27:53
a bit more of a bop, isn't it? Whereas like I think Not Alone
27:56
is more like a it's sad and it's like emotional, but it's it's
28:01
positive at the same time. Do you know what I mean?
28:04
I think I have way too many of these songs that make me feel
28:07
like this. I think I got that with Zombie,
28:11
with Youngblood, that was like, Oh my God, I was so emotional.
28:14
Listeners to that. Me and Sasha were just hugging
28:15
and crying all time. It's so funny because again, he
28:19
doesn't have a lot of songs that are like really emotional.
28:22
Even the ones that are quite brutal are quite upbeat and
28:25
rocky and like have their own style.
28:27
But zombies, so emotional. It's hard to listen to it when
28:31
you and I like, I don't think about it the way that he wrote
28:35
it the same way as like when you listen to a Taylor Swift deep
28:38
cut or even a McFly deep cut. Like everybody's got their own
28:41
version of what that means to them, if that makes sense.
28:43
Yeah, 100%. You picture different things,
28:46
you picture different scenarios in your head when you hear the
28:49
song, and I think that's something that like most people
28:51
can can relate to. I I feel like this is it was
28:57
underrated. I don't think it is anymore.
28:59
I think that people really appreciate it after the tour.
29:03
I think that the obviously on on its own, it's a Blum and amazing
29:08
song. And I'm going to give you my
29:10
rating in a minute anyway. I think seeing it with 3:00 AM
29:14
was like, wow people, people were like, Oh my God, like what
29:18
a mash up. And I think it showed Danny's
29:21
vocals like so perfectly. Like he was belting for his life
29:27
on that stage when he was singing there.
29:28
His This song shows off his entire range.
29:31
Oh so good from his his chest voice and like his power like
29:39
that comes from his diagram. Oh my God.
29:41
And you can see in his face. You can see it in the tension
29:44
that he's holding in his body. Like it's so, so powerful.
29:48
I am going to give a rating for the original version and I'm
29:51
going to give a rating for the tour version.
29:54
If you don't mind. That's fine.
29:57
I love the original version so much.
30:00
I think Tom and Danny's little, I think it's the second verse
30:05
when they do the my tired radio keeps playing tired songs.
30:10
You know that bit They do the harmony, my tired radio and Tom
30:15
does the higher and Danny does the lower.
30:16
I think it's that way round. Oh my God, the harmony.
30:20
And even on the Nan and Nan and Nan and Nanana, that bit like
30:24
the, the harmonies, Oh my Lord, they are so like perfect.
30:29
They give me like what little little shivers because I love
30:33
them so much. I'm going to give this song a
30:35
strong nine. I, I don't, I don't know why
30:39
it's not a 10. I feel like I probably could
30:41
rate it 10, but I'm a little bit nervous too, you know what I
30:45
mean? Give that 10 away.
30:47
I know it's still so early in the in the series.
30:52
Yeah, I'm going to give it a strong nine.
30:53
I I think it's absolutely amazing.
30:55
I think it showcases Danny and Tom's vocals so, so well.
30:59
I like the lyrics. I think the lyrics are really
31:02
good. I think that they, they're not
31:05
like the best lyrics ever written.
31:08
They're not like, it's not like lyrically incredible, but I
31:11
think the melody and the way that the song is written it, it
31:17
just has that like performance value.
31:19
Do you know what I do? You know what I mean?
31:20
Yeah, 100%, yeah. And there's that bit of the,
31:24
there's, I think it's the second verse.
31:27
And he says, And all I want to do is just go home.
31:31
Oh my. God, that lyric just gets me.
31:34
So that's the line. It gets me every time.
31:37
I'm like, oh, because you know, and you just feel awful and you
31:39
just want to go home and you just want to be at home and you
31:41
just want to be with the people that you love the most.
31:44
And that's usually at your home. Like I just love that that line.
31:47
I think that's great. So yeah, giving that a nine.
31:49
I'm going to go to you to give you get you to give me your
31:51
rating for this. And then we'll talk a bit more
31:53
about the the tour version. Yeah, nice.
31:56
So I listen to the song and I forget that it is on Room on the
32:04
third floor because it is so. Different.
32:09
Any other song and we were going through this the other day and
32:13
we were going through the all the songs and I was like Down by
32:17
the Lake is my favourite room on the 3rd floor without a doubt.
32:19
And I even wrote it on like a comment on Instagram.
32:21
I was like down by the Lake and I think I've said surfer babe or
32:25
something was my number ones from this album.
32:29
It's not. It's this song and this is my
32:31
turn out of turn. I love this.
32:35
Song this song is, it's because I just forget it's on this album
32:38
because it's so fucking mature for this album.
32:42
It is such. The rest of the album is like.
32:46
Teeny boppy. Poppy and fun and Pet Shop Boys
32:50
and like very like a little bit jazzy here and there and like
32:55
very like surfer like I feel like every song could be on like
33:00
a surf album. Yeah, it was very set in their
33:02
sound, weren't they? In this album and this.
33:04
One's very different. And then they, yeah, they just
33:07
throw not alone and I just forget.
33:08
It's so mature. For this album.
33:09
It is. It is my 10 out of 10.
33:11
Can we also talk about the placement because the next song
33:14
starts with everything was going just the way a plan the broccoli
33:18
was done. Yeah, it was so.
33:20
Funny and like they've gone from this to that.
33:23
Yeah, and when I say that this song has genuinely saved my
33:26
life, you said that line a minute ago and I was like, I
33:28
cannot cry on this podcast. It's going to happen at some
33:32
point, let's face. It this song has made me feel so
33:35
many different things and like you said, the lyrics aren't
33:38
hugely strong. But it came the song came out in
33:43
a time where I think I needed it.
33:46
And it is the song that I go back to in my head when I'm when
33:51
I'm having one of those days where I feel anxious or like
33:54
I've had this past week, some really low moments.
33:56
And I have listened to this song and I don't doubt that this song
34:01
will be on my Spotify like wrapped at the.
34:03
End of the year. Just from that this one week.
34:07
Oh, right, OK, just played it over and over again.
34:09
Yeah, big because genuinely it is that it's one of those songs
34:14
that you go back to when you're feeling low.
34:16
And I think I would be doing the song and myself and how this
34:22
song has helped me disservice if I didn't give it 10 out 10.
34:26
OK, I'm here for it, I like it, I'm here for it.
34:29
I mean, like I said, it probably could be a 10 for me, but I'm
34:31
just a bit scared about giving my 10 away.
34:36
Shall we talk a little bit about Not Alone and the 3:00 AM mash
34:41
up that they did at the tour? Because let's do it.
34:44
I genuinely was not ready. I don't know about you.
34:50
I think I don't want to be. I don't want to be that girl
34:53
that was like, you don't know what it was like because you
34:55
were at the back of the O2, but I'm gonna because you don't know
34:59
what it was like up there at Barrier.
35:02
It was. And I don't.
35:04
And I'm fuming that I don't. It was so good.
35:07
It was very much like seeing seeing Danny and Charlie so
35:13
close, like putting everything into that cover was just unreal.
35:18
Like and their voices are so different, but they were still
35:23
so like they just, they just literally mashed together so
35:30
they're. So different, but they blend.
35:33
And like hearing hearing Charlie sing a little bit of not alone
35:37
as well and like hearing Danny sing a little bit of three M
35:39
like they were doing little bits.
35:40
It wasn't like they didn't do like a verse of each other song,
35:43
but they did like little bits here and there like Charlie did
35:46
the Nana Nana Nas and it was like it was really nice.
35:49
I absolutely, I think in terms of like the verses version of
35:54
the tour and like what we expected from the verses, like
35:58
element of the tour that we didn't really get.
36:00
We got it all in this song and I love that.
36:02
And I think if I'm rating the I'm rating the tour version of
36:06
it and what out of all the songs on the tour, this was my
36:10
favourite to watch. So I think the tour version is a
36:13
is a 10 out of 10 for me. Absolutely.
36:15
I loved it every, every second of it.
36:19
I my only down downside about this.
36:23
The only thing wrong with about with this duet is that I was so
36:27
thirsty for content that my tick tock was full of it and I wish I
36:32
experienced it first hand without knowing.
36:34
Before seeing it, I know the way you waited because you were
36:39
right at the end of tour as well, weren't you?
36:41
Like the last. Decade.
36:43
Yeah, The way I felt when Matt left the first verse of Sleeping
36:49
with the Light On, I didn't know that was going to happen.
36:51
And that hit me in every feel. And I wish that I got that
36:57
experience with this because. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:59
Yeah, this is this was, it was just so good and it was
37:02
unexpected. And I, I think you're exactly
37:06
right and saying this is exactly what I wanted from the tour.
37:09
I wanted everything to be like this.
37:12
Yeah, definitely. I think this is the the main
37:14
element of the verses aspect that everybody saw and everybody
37:18
loved him. And like, it doesn't matter
37:20
whether you're a Busted fan or a McFly fan, whether you hate
37:23
Busted or you hate McFly or whether you like us and you slap
37:25
bang the middle and you love them both.
37:27
Everyone loved this, everyone. I don't remember speaking to
37:30
anyone that wasn't like, Oh my God, 3:00 AM versus not alone
37:33
was so good. Like, I don't, I don't think
37:36
I've. Spoke to anybody who hasn't said
37:38
that it's 10 out of 10. It was amazing.
37:40
Yeah, exactly. Like that's what I mean.
37:42
I don't think I've spoke to anybody that said it wasn't
37:44
good. Like it was absolutely
37:45
incredible. So yeah, I think that it's
37:48
definitely, it was an underrated track.
37:51
I think that a lot of people like it, a lot of people liked
37:53
it, but it's so far into the like the end of the album as
37:56
well. Like unless you're a hardcore
37:58
album listener. And also, I didn't really
38:00
remember this song being like overly played on the radio, I
38:04
don't think. It.
38:06
Was when it came out because I know it wasn't a single, was it?
38:09
I don't think it came out as a single.
38:10
It just came out on the album when I.
38:13
Think tired radio is just kept playing?
38:16
Tired songs I. Know.
38:19
What we like, I think it matches so well with the 3:00 AM lyrics
38:24
as well. Like it's very much like, I
38:26
don't think that my heart can take much more.
38:28
And then he's like, you're not alone, man.
38:30
You know what I mean? Yeah, it's fine.
38:33
We've all been there. We're all going through it.
38:35
Like we're all in it together. I just think it, it really is.
38:39
It's a very, very good song. And the vocals.
38:42
Spoiler for episodes to come. My 3:00 AM rating matches my Not
38:49
Alone rating. I think mine probably does as
38:52
well because Three M is up there.
38:55
God tear. God tear for sure.
38:57
Well, we'd love to hear what you guys think about this song.
39:00
Do you rate it as highly as us or are you not a fan of Not
39:03
Alone? If you're not, why are you
39:04
listening to this podcast? You must hate everything.
39:09
You must hate everything we're saying because all we're doing
39:10
is gushing about this song. So we've done songs, we've done
39:15
films, but this week we're talking forgotten naughties TV
39:19
shows. Oh yeah, Because there are so
39:23
many that just disappear. But we're actually very much
39:27
iconic. Honestly, when I was thinking
39:29
about like the other episode today and like what we could use
39:32
for the Lost TV show section, there were so many in my brain.
39:37
Actually picking 1 was so hard. Now I was like, you know what?
39:39
I'm just going to do this one because there's so many that we
39:41
can, we've got, we can do this all the time.
39:43
It's fine. This is a regular segment now
39:45
we'll get to all these amazing TV shows.
39:48
So we've gone with a Disney Channel sitcom this week.
39:50
We've gone with something that a lot of you will probably know if
39:54
you're 30 plus. If you're not 30 plus, you
39:58
probably won't remember this. So feel free to sort of press
40:02
that Fast forward 15 seconds bit.
40:04
Just. Keep pressing that for like 10
40:06
minutes and then we'll see you in the next section because this
40:10
was an iconic Disney Channel sitcom from 2003 to 2007.
40:16
So we're talking all about that. So Raven, that's.
40:20
So Raven. Oh yeah, I love it.
40:23
I still know the whole like theme tune is the.
40:27
Opening and. The stair.
40:29
The stair, my God. Oh, the Raven Stair.
40:32
So that's should we, we should probably tell people a little
40:35
bit about what it's about because they might sort of
40:37
remember it, but not really remember it.
40:39
OK, so that's how Raven was about a Raven.
40:43
She was called Raven Baxter, who was played by Raven Symone.
40:48
She's a teenager with psychic powers who are often, like,
40:52
misinterprets her visions. And it, like, causes these crazy
40:56
chaotic scenarios for her friends and family.
40:59
It was brilliant. It was so good.
41:02
I think it was probably. Yeah, it was.
41:07
It was one of the best Disney TV shows at the time, I think.
41:10
Yeah, I think I remember like all of my friends watching it
41:13
and it was one of those ones that it was on when you got home
41:16
from school. So like, yeah, from school at
41:18
like 4:00 and you put the telly on.
41:20
It was always on at like that sort of time if you had the
41:22
Disney Channel. I I never had the Disney Channel
41:27
in my house. We didn't actually have Disney.
41:29
We had like just normal Freeview, like, you know, cable,
41:33
whatever it was. Yeah, but my nan had it.
41:37
So I can remember going going to my Nan's house specifically to
41:40
watch the Disney Channel. I remember, I love that, I love
41:45
that. I think it was a go to thing.
41:47
Grandma's spoiling their grandchildren as usual.
41:51
They're the ones that can afford the children's package.
41:53
Yes, exactly. My main thing that I remember
41:57
from this was obviously that she was always getting things wrong
42:01
and she was always getting people into trouble and like, it
42:04
was just a very like young teen kind of thing, wasn't it?
42:07
I have a vivid, vivid picture of her in a purple like denim
42:13
jacket and purple trousers and her hair in these like little
42:16
pigtails with like a little headband in like, I can picture
42:22
it like it was yesterday. She really, really was so cool.
42:25
And didn't you say earlier that that they did a come like a
42:27
comeback series as well, like 2017?
42:32
Yeah, so they did Corey in the House, which was like a spin off
42:35
at the time about her little brother, I think.
42:38
And he like moves out and he moves into like the White House.
42:42
I think if I can run that credit, I wasn't a huge fan of
42:44
Corey in the House. And then in 2017, they brought
42:47
out a new TV show called Raven's Home, and it aired from 2017 to
42:52
2023. For six years, that's mental.
42:56
Yeah, and longer than the original show.
42:59
Literally longer the original show.
43:00
And not even half as popular. I don't think.
43:04
I don't. Remember hearing about it?
43:05
No. No.
43:07
And yeah, it's so it's about Raven and her daughter and her
43:11
daughter getting psychic powers. And actually, it's her real life
43:13
daughter as well. Well, there you go.
43:16
So there we go. I, I used to love it.
43:19
I used to love those like American, I mean very like
43:22
Hannah Montana kind of thing, you know, like the American
43:26
Disney shows. I wasn't allowed to watch them
43:29
very often, but when I when I did loved them.
43:32
But when I was looking at that, say, Raven early and I was
43:35
thinking about it, I had a bit of a flashback of a CBBC.
43:39
Show a Raven vision. Let's let's Chuck it in at the
43:42
same time because similar name, we don't have to do another
43:46
episode. Do you remember the CBBC show
43:49
Raven? Raven yes, of course I do.
43:54
It was like 10. That was that was like the UK's
43:59
like. It was my favourite.
44:00
That was like on in every house. It was my favourite show.
44:04
I loved it. It was like a a bit of a like
44:07
dramatic game show, wasn't it? Raven?
44:11
I remember the guy, he flies. Wouldn't he?
44:14
Turns into a Raven at the end. And just flies off.
44:19
So here we are. We had the Rasmus last week with
44:21
his like Raven feathers in the music videos and now here we are
44:25
talking about Raven. So I I loved Raven the CBBCBBC
44:32
show. I can remember him wearing the
44:35
like jacket that was made out of crows feathers.
44:38
Yeah, it was like a cake that had crows feathers on it.
44:42
So funny. So good and I had a very strange
44:46
crush on that man I can remember.
44:48
Having I think I did. A bit of an addiction to him and
44:51
he wasn't even that. Attractive.
44:52
I don't know. No, he wasn't.
44:55
I think it was just the mysteriousness of him turning.
44:58
He was very dark. And yeah, I was in a little bit
45:01
of an emo phase back then. Yeah, I love my emo, emo phase.
45:04
I think it was very much like a, oh, who is this Scottish Raven?
45:09
Scottish Raven. But if you if you've seen that
45:12
the TV show Raven as in the actual game show, you might
45:17
remember that it was like a contestants kind of thing and
45:21
they would like go and compete. I can't remember what they would
45:25
do. Like it was set on like a
45:27
mystical island. As far as I remember.
45:29
It's like a warrior kind of thing.
45:31
And they had like. Jumping and like climbing and.
45:36
Yeah, like lots of sort of physical activity kind of
45:39
things, if that makes sense for you to sort of take part in.
45:43
But it was very dark and mysterious.
45:45
I can remember there being like skulls and like he had a big
45:48
stack with a a Raven on it and like he was.
45:51
It was very strange. Just occasionally when someone
45:55
couldn't do something, you just hear a Raven crow.
45:59
Yeah, in the background. Yeah.
46:01
Is you're so right. And apparently there was a bit
46:04
of a reboot as well with a girl a girl Raven.
46:11
It was an originally aired with like the male Raven in from 2002
46:16
to 2010. So I'd have been literally 9 in
46:21
2002. So this is probably why I can
46:23
remember it. And that was hosted by James
46:25
McKenzie and then it was rebooted.
46:29
I can't remember when it was, but it said it was.
46:31
It was inspired by the original format, but it was given like a
46:35
Gaelic reboot reboot. So it's that like sort of Gaelic
46:38
vibe. And it was like an ultimate
46:39
warrior kind of things they like the most successful person would
46:43
go through and then eat them or they get all of the most
46:46
successful to sort of battle against each other.
46:50
And the the lady that was playing Raven then was called
46:53
Asia. Asia, Aisha.
46:55
Aisha, I don't know. Aisha.
46:59
And that was 2018. So that wasn't that long ago.
47:03
I don't know whether it's still going on or whether it sort of
47:07
did a die to death, I'm not sure.
47:10
But cool. But they gave it a little bit of
47:11
a yeah, cool. They gave it a little bit of a
47:14
reboot because I remember that being really good.
47:16
But sometimes I also think just leave a good thing alone.
47:19
Stop trying to make, you know, if they ever, I tell you now,
47:22
Shannon, if they ever try and remake friends, I'm going to
47:25
riot. I'm going to riot.
47:27
Don't do it. They're doing it with Harry
47:28
Potter. I have some, yeah.
47:31
I, I I. Have some TV shows like that.
47:33
I don't. I'm not up.
47:34
I'm not up for it. Just leave a good thing alone.
47:36
Get your own ideas. Yeah, 100%.
47:40
It's like even when they like like re reboot it as in bring it
47:45
back, just leave it because you're just going to ruin the
47:48
best thing that's ever happened to me.
47:49
Yeah. Exactly.
47:51
Honestly, I love. TV shows.
47:53
I love. Hyper fixating on TV shows.
47:56
I am friends till I die. Well, they they re they brought
48:00
out like a new series of Gilmore Girls.
48:02
I know you're not like a Gilmore Girl fan, but I loved the show.
48:06
And then they did like a 10 years later thing and it was
48:09
like 4 episodes and it was winter, spring, summer and
48:15
autumn and you just saw her in a year.
48:17
Like in in those you followed the character basically through
48:21
the year but in 4 episodes and it was fucking awful.
48:29
They ruined like, so in my head, I know where everyone's ended up
48:33
in my head, and that's where I want them to be.
48:36
I want Rory to be with Jessie. I want, you know, Lorelai and
48:41
Luke to be happy as Larry. Like I know where I want them to
48:44
be in my head. Do not bring it back and tell me
48:48
that my that Rory is sleeping with somebody who's engaged
48:51
because you've now ruined her entire personality to me.
48:55
Yeah, that's not a farm. Not good.
48:57
She's like. Being the bit on the side that's
48:59
not that's not the in my head. I worry they'll do it with
49:03
Vampire Diaries and like all the best.
49:06
Sort of like naughties and 10s. They've talked about, I've seen
49:09
them talking about bringing back one more season of Pretty Little
49:12
Liars, and I think I saw it about Gilm, no.
49:16
No. Gossip Girl as well.
49:18
No, no, don't do it. I don't want it.
49:20
They are not being funny. They messed up the end of Pretty
49:22
Little Liars anyway. Just leave it.
49:24
You didn't do a great job. It it ended really badly.
49:27
Nobody really needed that ending.
49:29
We waited the whole time to find out who this person was.
49:33
Spencer's English cousin. Ridiculous, Absolutely
49:37
ridiculous. Some random girl that we saw
49:40
once in the background of a shot in season 4 or Season 3.
49:43
Nobody cares. Like they wanted it to be
49:46
somebody that everybody knows, that everybody was like, no way,
49:49
you know? What I mean?
49:50
Not some random cousin slash step sister slash was a boy is
49:55
now a girl. Like nobody cares.
49:57
Like it really was not needed. They've just put too much in it.
50:01
They made it too complicated. Then they lost all their viewers
50:04
because they were just like, this is too much.
50:05
Nobody needed that. It was such a good idea though,
50:08
like the the dolls house and everything like that on its own
50:11
was like so out like. Outside like out-of-the-box.
50:15
Very good writing. Have to add anything.
50:18
Very good writing. It Never, never seen anything
50:20
like that. When it came out, I was like,
50:22
this is cool. There's a really creepy, really
50:25
cool. Like, yeah, it was.
50:26
It was awesome. Yeah, but they lost it.
50:29
I mean, I mean, we're supposed to be talking about Raven when
50:31
we're talking about Pretty Little lies.
50:32
But it's fine. You know what happens on our
50:34
podcast? We often lose our our thoughts.
50:37
But equally, if you can remember any naughties TV shows that you
50:41
used to love, that you would like us to talk about, Yeah, we
50:45
would love your ideas. Although the list is pretty
50:47
long, so it would have to be pretty damn good to get into the
50:51
list that I've got ready for the next sort of years worth of
50:54
episodes because there are so many.
50:56
But do send them in, OK? We are going to bring back,
51:02
McFly says. Because I'm ready for you to get
51:04
0 out of four again. Literally, it's the story of my
51:08
life now. I'm not.
51:09
I think I'm going to put it on my CV.
51:11
Cannot do. You know any kind of quiz about
51:13
my favourite bands? I think you'll be fine.
51:15
I think this week, I don't think it's as hard.
51:20
I mean. I don't know, I think my problem
51:23
is I overthink. It could be, it could be quite
51:25
hard, I don't know. I feel like I picked pretty easy
51:27
ones, but I don't know, I could be wrong.
51:31
It's a little bit chaotic. I've picked like more like silly
51:36
quotes this week because we, the ones we chose for like quote
51:39
corner, I think were quite deep last episode that we did.
51:43
So I think I was like, oh, I'll pick something a little bit more
51:46
fun and chaotic instead. So I'm going to read you 4 and
51:50
you're going to match up the McFly member to the quote.
51:54
Are you ready? I'm ready, OK.
51:57
Quote number one, I once swallowed a family on stage and
52:01
just carried on singing #2 I'm basically a 12 year old and a 30
52:07
year old's body #3 I used to think I was cool.
52:13
Then I joined McFly and #4 we're not cool.
52:20
We've never been cool. We've accepted it.
52:23
Nice. OK, OK, right.
52:26
So I think I can say that I once swallowed a fly on stage and
52:29
just carried on singing as probably not Harry.
52:32
OK. You're doing in process of
52:36
elimination here. Yeah, there we go.
52:38
Yeah. OK.
52:39
I still don't know who it is. I just know it's not Harry. 12
52:44
year old and 30 year old's body. I'm going to say doggy, OK?
52:49
I'm trying not to overthink it, but like, I could be so wrong.
52:55
I used to think I was cool, then I, John McFly.
52:57
I'm going to say Harry because I feel like he's the coolest.
53:00
OK, I might change that, though. Not giving you.
53:08
I once wanted to fly on stage. You just carried on singing,
53:10
Danny. Oh, I don't know.
53:13
That sounds very Dougie. Yeah, I'll do the last one as
53:21
Tom. I suppose I'm just.
53:23
OK. I'm just going to own it.
53:24
I've once wanted to fly on stage and just carried on singing.
53:27
You've gone Danny. You are incorrect.
53:32
What a surprise. Was it Tom?
53:34
It was Tom. Yeah, that was my one.
53:38
It was Tom. Yeah, OK #2 I'm basically a 12
53:44
year old in a 30 year old's body.
53:46
You went with Dougie. You are incorrect.
53:52
It was Danny Jones. Oh, true, he is.
53:58
This is probably Dougie then. I used to think I was cool.
54:03
Then I joined McFly. You went for Harry.
54:05
You are incorrect, Dougie. It was Dougie.
54:13
And finally, we're not cool. We've never been cool.
54:15
We've accepted it. You chose Tom.
54:17
It was Harry. So unfortunately, Shannon, zero
54:21
out of four again. This is what I get for not
54:25
overthinking it. Do you even know McFly?
54:27
Do you know who they are? Are you?
54:28
Are you sure you're a fan? Don't say that, don't say that.
54:34
We don't want that on here. We don't know who we who they
54:39
are. We're just big fans and we're
54:41
the our favourite band. We haven't got a clue.
54:43
Here they are. It's fine.
54:45
It was hard. I won't I, you know what, you're
54:47
going to do this for me next time and I'm probably going to
54:49
get them all wrong as well. So I'll be like I just said, not
54:51
walking the walk. I appreciate you trying to make
54:54
me feel better but 5 minutes ago you said I've made this one
54:57
really easy for you and I've just said it's OK it was hard.
55:02
I thought it was going to be a bit easy because I remember
55:04
reading the interview about him swallowing a family.
55:07
I think it was doing the rounds on TikTok maybe last year or
55:10
something. I thought that I used to think I
55:14
was cool. Then I joined McFly was quite
55:16
easy because I thought that's definitely a Dougie thing to
55:19
say. Yeah.
55:20
So that. Is a Dougie thing but he is also
55:21
a 12 year old and 30 year olds body.
55:23
I so that was the only thing I thought you would struggle with
55:26
those two. I thought the last one would
55:27
probably be pretty simple because Harry is a bit more like
55:30
Blase isn't He's like, that's fine.
55:32
We're we've accepted it, I think.
55:35
Yeah, I think two of them were probably easy.
55:38
Maybe the other two not so much. So I'll let you off.
55:40
But you know, it's all good. It's all good.
55:43
I'm proud of you for trying. I'm here.
55:46
Practise. Practise makes progress.

Shannon. OK.
55:49
Just makes progress. At least I turned up, you know?
55:52
Exactly. You arrived today.
55:54
You give it a go, you give it your best shot.
55:57
That's all that matters. Oh dear.
56:00
So you may have seen these questions on our Instagram
56:05
earlier this week. We hopefully, if we didn't
56:07
forget, should have posted them on our page for you to have a go
56:10
at. So now you know the answers.
56:12
Let us know whether you've got any right or whether you're just
56:15
as terrible a fan of Shannon and got zero out of four.
56:18
Us forget. Me what?
56:21
Terrible. We didn't have to have a
56:23
calendar, so we remembered to post things.
56:27
No, no, no. Not us, not us, not at all.
56:32
And just like that, here we are at the end of another episode.
56:35
Thank you so much for being here for following along.
56:38
And if you aren't already, do make sure you're following us on
56:41
on socials. It's at Galaxy Crashes Podcast
56:44
and we're on TikTok and Instagram.
56:46
Oh yeah, next week we're heading back to Busted with the song
56:50
that is bound to break everyone hearts.
56:52
It's without you for now, keep your playlist loud.
56:57
And happiness in your hearts. Goodbye.
