  Well, hello and Merry Christmas to all of you.
• 0:14
  You are listening to a very special Christmas episode of
• 0:17
  Galaxy Crashes, the Busted and McFly Podcast.
• 0:20
  On this week's episode, we are revisiting Busted and Mcfly's
• 0:23
  very festive Christmas covers. I'm Shan.
• 0:27
  And I'm Tay and oh don't worry, all your usual favourite
• 0:31
  segments are still coming up too, so stay tuned for Quote
• 0:33
  Corner this or that and a special Christmas theme quiz
• 0:37
  this week. Oh, La La.
• 0:39
  How was your week? Yeah, it's OK.
• 0:42
  I have been away. I'm actually recording this
• 0:46
  episode from a little holiday home up in Bude, which is just
• 0:50
  that extra bit closer to James Bond because he lives in North
• 0:54
  Cornwall so it's nice to be in his area for a while.
• 0:58
  I love, I love that you're saying up in Bude when to
• 1:01
  everyone else it's down in Bude. Yes, I'm that far in the tow of
• 1:06
  the country that Bude is up for me.
• 1:09
  Yeah, we're, we're staying in this lovely little holiday home
• 1:12
  with my daughter and my parents and my grandparents, which has
• 1:16
  been really lovely. Unfortunately my husband
• 1:18
  couldn't make it because he's had to work because it's the
• 1:19
  last week before Christmas and he's just absolutely snowed in
• 1:22
  with trying to get gardens and plans finished for his
• 1:25
  landscaping business. So.
• 1:27
  But it's been really nice. Molly's already had a little
• 1:29
  Christmas, so she had a little like Christmas tree.
• 1:31
  My mum's put a little fibre optic Christmas tree out.
• 1:34
  Yeah, she had like yesterday was our like Christmas Day, so.
• 1:37
  She oh, you're going to have some photos.
• 1:39
  Oh I will, I've got loads. She had all of her Christmas
• 1:42
  presents from my mum under the tree and it was like Molly's
• 1:44
  first proper time, like opening presents, if that makes sense.
• 1:47
  Because last Christmas, last Christmas, she was only like 9
• 1:51
  months old, so she didn't really understand what the hell was
• 1:53
  going on. And obviously I was opening a
• 1:56
  lot of the presents like for her.
• 1:57
  Whereas this year she was actually like she understood
• 2:00
  what the presents were for her and.
• 2:02
  She was a Oh my God, that's so cute.
• 2:04
  She spread them out all day. Like we, that was, that's one of
• 2:07
  our traditions. Like we, we don't open all our
• 2:09
  presents at once. We literally like have one like
• 2:12
  every sort of half an hour hour. Like, could you imagine telling
• 2:15
  Aria that? Oh wow, I think most children
• 2:19
  would probably be like what the hell?
• 2:22
  But I think if I start it young, I start this tradition.
• 2:24
  Now she knows that she has to wait.
• 2:27
  I remember doing it when I was younger and I at by like the age
• 2:30
  of sort of like 5 or 6. I loved it because it meant that
• 2:34
  I still like 8:00 at night. I still had presents that hadn't
• 2:36
  opened and it was really lovely. My mum would.
• 2:39
  Do you remember time at each present?
• 2:41
  Yeah. Do you remember Autumn's second
• 2:43
  birthday? And we did all the birthday
• 2:46
  presents in the living room. And it got to a point where she
• 2:48
  was just, like, passing them away because she didn't care
• 2:50
  what it was. She was just, yeah, in.
• 2:52
  She was in the momentum of just opening.
• 2:55
  Presents and putting them down and the next one and the next
• 2:58
  one it's like a delay about. And that's like literally, yeah,
• 3:01
  yeah. All that we're trying to avoid
• 3:03
  with avoid with Molly. Yeah.
• 3:05
  So I want her to have time to play with what she's been given
• 3:08
  and like actually understand what she's been given.
• 3:10
  So my mum, I think she probably had about 10 presents or so from
• 3:15
  my mum. She had like 3.
• 3:17
  My mum's so cute. She's very crafty, my mum.
• 3:19
  So she make like makes a lot of things.
• 3:21
  She bought my some like wooden puzzles with like numbers and
• 3:24
  letters and like animals with things on and like, it's really,
• 3:27
  really cute. But the bags that she made to
• 3:29
  put them in are made of fleece and on the front of each back
• 3:33
  she's used my my mum asked me like a while ago for some of
• 3:38
  Macy's, like newborn clothes that I wanted to like.
• 3:40
  Keep Oh my gosh though. She's been making them into like
• 3:44
  a blanket, but she has saved some of them and she's like, I'm
• 3:48
  looking at one bag now and it's a blue bag and it's got ABC
• 3:51
  puzzles inside and it's got ABC cut out in some of her old baby
• 3:56
  grows. And I recognise the baby grows
• 3:58
  obviously, like looking at them. I was like welling up because I
• 4:01
  was like, Oh my God, these are like her newborn baby grows from
• 4:03
  when she was so tiny. So yeah, she's got a few
• 4:06
  puzzles. Her main present was a shopping
• 4:08
  trolley and a till, which she is absolutely loving.
• 4:12
  She's going round and asking everybody what they want from
• 4:15
  the shopping trolley and taking. Them.
• 4:16
  Oh my gosh, I love that. I love that.
• 4:20
  I miss that girl so much. For listeners that don't know,
• 4:25
  Molly is actually family to me. So Taylor, Taylor's baby is
• 4:30
  actually my family. And also this week Taylor was
• 4:34
  voice noting me and Molly said my name.
• 4:36
  And that's first time I've ever heard I say my name.
• 4:39
  And I genuinely, I listened to it about five times and Bradley
• 4:43
  came in the kitchen. Oh, shine, you've disappeared.
• 4:51
  Oh, are you still there? Oh, have I?
• 4:53
  Yeah. You disappeared.
• 4:54
  Sorry. Are you still there?
• 4:56
  Can you hear me? I'm still here.
• 4:58
  I can hear you 00. I don't know what happened.
• 5:01
  You you it cut out when you said Bradley came into the kitchen.
• 5:04
  So just do that bit again and I should be able to edit it in.
• 5:08
  And Bradley came into the kitchen and he started talking
• 5:11
  to me. And he was like, are you OK?
• 5:12
  And I was like, you know, when someone speaks to you, when
• 5:14
  you're in, like, a bit of an emotional state?
• 5:17
  And I was like, no. And the tears started streaming.
• 5:19
  He was like, what's the matter? And I just played it to him.
• 5:21
  And he was like, really? Men just don't get it.
• 5:27
  You just don't get it. Oh, bless.
• 5:31
  Oh yeah, she's so cute. Bless her.
• 5:32
  She's she's very, she's very good with names and things now
• 5:36
  she's picked up so many. She's it's my sister's birthday
• 5:39
  today, so we sent her a little video this morning of Molly
• 5:42
  singing Happy Birthday to her. Oh, which she loves, which is so
• 5:47
  cute. But yeah, she's a good girl.
• 5:49
  So yeah, she's, she's been really enjoying like having this
• 5:52
  little Christmas getaway. We went swimming today, we have
• 5:55
  a little hot tub and yeah, she's just absolutely loving it.
• 5:57
  So yeah, it's been a good week. What about you?
• 5:59
  What we've been up to. This week I've not really done a
• 6:04
  huge amount. I feel like I say this every
• 6:06
  single week. I've not really done a huge
• 6:08
  amount, but in I've done a lot of like mum admin, do you know
• 6:14
  what I mean? Oh, I get it.
• 6:16
  So, yeah, yesterday was autumn's Christmas concert.
• 6:20
  So it was a lot of yes. It was such a busy day for me.
• 6:23
  I went to the concert twice, once as a member of staff, and
• 6:28
  then we had food out because there was no time to go home and
• 6:34
  brought some Christmas cards. And then I went to it as a
• 6:36
  parent, which was actually a lot harder than I thought because
• 6:41
  people there were like, asking me to do stuff.
• 6:43
  And I was like. I'm not working.
• 6:45
  I'm not really working. I'm not really working right
• 6:48
  now. So yeah, so and yeah, and then
• 6:51
  I've got Arya's one tomorrow which is in school time, so I
• 6:55
  can't watch it. Oh, that's a shame.
• 6:58
  So I'm, I'm genuinely like flooded with mum guilt right
• 7:01
  now. But they don't even let you just
• 7:03
  like, pop out of your classroom. So I'm in her class, but I'm one
• 7:10
  to one with somebody that can't be part of it.
• 7:13
  Oh. I see.
• 7:14
  So you can't go in because you're with the child?
• 7:16
  Yeah, I get you. That's a shame.
• 7:19
  Yeah, I know. So it's been a lot of, yeah,
• 7:21
  it's been a lot of Christmassy mum admin this week because I
• 7:25
  have got not that I'm counting 1 1/2 days left of school and then
• 7:29
  I'm off for the holidays. And when I tell you that Santa
• 7:32
  hat is getting on my head as soon as 130 hits on Friday and
• 7:37
  it's not leaving my head until the 6th of January.
• 7:40
  I believe you. I know you too well to know that
• 7:42
  that's not a lie. It's not a lie.
• 7:44
  I am getting all festive up in your grill from Friday 1:30.
• 7:50
  It's. Got to be done, it's got to be
• 7:53
  done. It's time for this or that.
• 7:59
  Don't forget you can play along on our Instagram stories.
• 8:01
  All our templates are in our highlights.
• 8:03
  Make sure you tag us though when you share because we really love
• 8:05
  seeing your answers. And you've probably already
• 8:08
  guessed it, but we've chosen Christmas as the theme for this.
• 8:11
  Or that's this. Week.
• 8:12
  Well, why not? It is Christmas after.
• 8:14
  Not OK this or that. Be stuck under the mistletoe
• 8:19
  with Charlie Simpson only to have him disappear like it's
• 8:22
  2005 just before your lips touch.
• 8:25
  Ouch. Or I know killer little dig
• 8:28
  there. Sorry Charlie.
• 8:30
  Or snuggle with Matt Willis watching a Christmas movie, but
• 8:34
  he's got pure pigs in blankets breath.
• 8:37
  So you've asked the vegetarian I.
• 8:41
  Know that's why I did it. I don't care.
• 8:43
  I'd have pigs and blankets breath.
• 8:45
  I'm not bothered. Oh, I love my Do you know what?
• 8:52
  I don't know, It depends. I like.
• 8:54
  I thought you were going to have an answer then.
• 8:57
  No, I really don't have an answer because I was going to go
• 8:59
  straight for Charlie Simpson because I cannot deal with bad
• 9:04
  breath. But I really, really, really
• 9:07
  love Matt Willis. Will you put up with it for the
• 9:09
  sake of a cuddle and a Christmas movie?
• 9:11
  Because. I don't know, I also love a
• 9:13
  Christmas movie. Maybe I'm thinking the snuggle
• 9:17
  is head above mine. Do you know what I mean?
• 9:19
  I don't have to smell it. True, very true.
• 9:22
  Thinking about the logistics of the of the snuggle.
• 9:25
  The logistics is head on chest. That works.
• 9:29
  That works for me. With maybe with maybe one of
• 9:32
  those like blue COVID-19 masks on.
• 9:36
  Watching the holiday with the Mr Napkins.
• 9:39
  Yeah. I like it.
• 9:41
  It was completely honest. I think I would agree because to
• 9:45
  be honest, I love Charlie Simpson.
• 9:47
  I really do. I just think it would kill me to
• 9:49
  just be that close to his face and then not actually be able to
• 9:52
  kiss him. Well, do you know what?
• 9:55
  I might have picked Charlie Simpson if he didn't remind me
• 9:57
  of 2005. You know what I mean?
• 9:58
  So sorry, but I have not let it go.
• 10:01
  I'm still bitter. Yeah, in the words of Elsa, let
• 10:06
  it go. It's.
• 10:07
  Never going to happen, Shannon. Stop trying to make it happen.
• 10:11
  It's never going to happen. OK, so my this or that is may
• 10:20
  may to some be a little bit controversial.
• 10:23
  So it is busted covering cheesy Christmas classics but making it
• 10:28
  busted. You know, like rocking it up a
• 10:29
  bit or writing their own Bublé styled album.
• 10:34
  All originals. Oh wow, that's a really good
• 10:38
  one. You said it wasn't going to be a
• 10:40
  very good one this week. I'm baffled.
• 10:42
  What am I going to choose? I know I never think it's a very
• 10:46
  good one when I'm writing it myself.
• 10:47
  I like it because we're obviously going to listen to and
• 10:50
  talk about some of their cheesy Christmas classics today and I
• 10:54
  love me an old Christmas song. I really love a bit of, oh, you
• 10:59
  know, like, do they know it's Christmas and a bit of Frosty
• 11:01
  the Snowman or like all the old school Merry Christmas.
• 11:07
  Is it wizard? Is it wizard?
• 11:08
  Yeah, that wasn't wizard, but yeah, yeah.
• 11:10
  That the wizard song, I can't remember what it's called, but
• 11:13
  the wizard one with the beers, that one, yeah, that's it,
• 11:16
  that's it. But equally, I love Busted so
• 11:19
  much I feel like they would be able to write some good little
• 11:22
  Bublé Christmas. This is what I'm thinking.
• 11:25
  You get a whole new album. Yeah, and I'm looking for a new
• 11:28
  Busted album. I really am.
• 11:30
  I'm gonna go with write their own Bublé Bublé styled album,
• 11:33
  All originals, definitely just for the sake of new music and
• 11:35
  maybe a tour that comes with it. Because, you know, new music
• 11:38
  means true new tour. True, I would probably the stay
• 11:42
  the same because I'm not a huge fan of a cheesy Christmas cover.
• 11:49
  I'm a fan of cheesy Christmas. It's actually one of my
• 11:53
  favourite genres of music. Cheesy Christmas Cheesy
• 11:56
  Christmas A cheesy Christmas cover cheesy.
• 11:59
  Christmas. A cheesy Christmas cover is I'm
• 12:04
  not unless it's done right. Do you know what I mean?
• 12:06
  It's I don't want to not like it.
• 12:09
  I'd rather their own their own stuff.
• 12:12
  It's a tricky minefield, I think.
• 12:14
  Christmas covers, aren't they? It is if you're not Lily Allen
• 12:18
  covering somewhere only we know. I don't want to know about it.
• 12:22
  It's time for Quote Corner. OK, so being a Christmas
• 12:26
  episode, we thought that we'd try and find direct Christmas
• 12:29
  related quotes from the band. However, this proved a lot
• 12:32
  harder than expected. We've managed to find an
• 12:34
  interview however, where two of the boys talk about their
• 12:37
  Christmas family traditions, which we thought would be fun
• 12:41
  for you guys to know if if you didn't already.
• 12:44
  So we're going to start with Matt.
• 12:46
  Matt and Emma Willis and their three children wear the same
• 12:49
  pyjamas on Christmas Eve. He had a little interview with
• 12:53
  BANG Showbiz, it was called and he was talking about what they
• 12:56
  do, so it says here. The Busted Basis admits he
• 12:59
  enjoys unwrapping the same sleepwear as his wife and their
• 13:02
  kids Isabelle, Ace and seven-year old Trixie because
• 13:05
  the 24th of December tradition marks the start of their festive
• 13:08
  celebrations. Matt told BANG Showbiz We all
• 13:11
  get matching pyjamas on Christmas Eve, which I do enjoy.
• 13:14
  Everyone unwraps them on Christmas Eve and puts them on.
• 13:17
  Now I am here for the matching pyjamas.
• 13:21
  My husband, however, is not. Well do you know what?
• 13:25
  We've never done it because I assumed Bradley was not.
• 13:28
  And then literally 2 days ago I said to him, how would you feel
• 13:31
  if I bought as matching pyjamas? And he was like, I've been
• 13:34
  waiting nine years for you to ask that question.
• 13:36
  And I was like Bradley. Put a ring.
• 13:39
  On it, to my ears, literally. You don't even have to put ring
• 13:42
  on it anymore because that is the ring.
• 13:44
  Christmas pyjamas every year. Why did I not know that you
• 13:48
  wanted to do this? Yeah.
• 13:49
  That is the best thing ever. Well, so this will be our first
• 13:51
  year. I do say Jack is not, I mean he
• 13:54
  doesn't really do pyjamas, he does like T-shirts and joggers
• 13:57
  and he goes to bed in just his T-shirt, so he doesn't really
• 14:00
  wear pyjamas. He runs quite warm so it's not
• 14:03
  really something that he would wear.
• 14:04
  However, I did manage to convince him to wear matching
• 14:07
  pyjamas for Molly's first Christmas last year.
• 14:10
  So I do have a picture of me, Jack and Molly and I'm matching
• 14:13
  pyjamas. However, I was trying to get the
• 14:14
  dog in as well and it was very blurry, so not really a.
• 14:17
  Very good picture. But I do have one for the books
• 14:20
  and I didn't have to convince him quite a lot to put it on.
• 14:23
  But he also did wear the same pyjamas as the that year and the
• 14:28
  same as me on The Polar Express. Because I did say I was.
• 14:30
  Just about to say, did he wear them on The Polar Express?
• 14:32
  Shannon, he was literally like, I'm not wearing pyjamas on a on
• 14:35
  The Polar Express. I'm going to look ridiculous.
• 14:37
  I said Jack, you will be the only one that.
• 14:39
  You're not. In pyjamas, like you need to
• 14:41
  wear the pyjamas, I said. Have you seen the film?
• 14:44
  They're all wearing pyjamas. Is this the whole point of this?
• 14:48
  So thank goodness I did manage to convince him because he would
• 14:51
  have looked ridiculous because every single.
• 14:52
  Person. Was wearing pyjamas.
• 14:54
  So I appreciate you, Matt Willis, and your family's
• 14:57
  tradition because I'm trying to get it to be a yearly thing in
• 15:01
  my house, too. Trying to build it in your own.
• 15:03
  But he did actually talk a little bit more.
• 15:05
  Do you want to talk about the rest of the interview with Matt?
• 15:08
  Oh, yeah. So he also says, well, I don't
• 15:11
  really have any other traditions, but Santa puts a
• 15:15
  present at the end of the bed for the kids, which you did for
• 15:17
  me when I was a kid. And now they wake up in their
• 15:19
  bedrooms and they have a present, which is supposed to
• 15:22
  stop them from coming in to us too early.
• 15:24
  But it doesn't, obviously, obviously can.
• 15:28
  I can't imagine doing that to mine because my kids would just
• 15:30
  do, you know what they would do? I'd put a present at the end of
• 15:32
  the bed and they'd come into my room to open.
• 15:35
  It open it. Like they wouldn't open it in
• 15:38
  silence in their own room. I love that.
• 15:40
  Oh my God, to say what was your like thing at home like when you
• 15:44
  were when you were younger? Did you have Because in my house
• 15:47
  my my stocking from Santa was always hung on the door of my
• 15:52
  bed like my. Bedroom.
• 15:54
  Actually at the bottom of my bed, but on the door.
• 15:56
  So I'd wake up in the morning and, and would see it straight
• 15:59
  away. And actually I can remember a
• 16:01
  few times like waking up in the middle of the night and like
• 16:03
  seeing that it was full and just being so excited that I wasn't
• 16:07
  allowed to get up because it was like 2 in the morning.
• 16:09
  But it just LED in bed looking at it, thinking Oh my God.
• 16:11
  Yeah, I love that. So actually, 2:00 in the morning
• 16:15
  was probably when I was waking up because Oh my.
• 16:18
  God. Shannon No, no, no, no, not me,
• 16:21
  not me. Oh, right.
• 16:22
  I have a very She will be listening to this episode and
• 16:25
  she will know what I'm talking about.
• 16:28
  Very exciting I did, mother. Mama John.
• 16:30
  Who used to wake us up at like two or three in the morning.
• 16:35
  We'd come downstairs, me and my brother would still be half
• 16:38
  asleep, my dad would make us a cup of tea, we'd all sit around,
• 16:43
  have a cup of tea, my mum would sit there with a bin bag and
• 16:45
  she'd play Santa, passing around all the presents.
• 16:47
  And then it would get to 6:00 AM and we'd opened everything and
• 16:52
  then I would go back UPS. She'd say, right, take all your
• 16:55
  stuff upstairs and put them in their new homes.
• 16:57
  And I would go upstairs and I'd fall asleep on my bed.
• 17:00
  That's actually quite cute. Yeah, and then it might be like.
• 17:03
  Gross. 2:00 AM. But actually, that's quite
• 17:06
  sweet. Yeah, it was, it was, it was a
• 17:09
  really lovely tradition. And now I wake up before my kids
• 17:13
  here because like, it's that almost like butterflies,
• 17:16
  Christmas Eve, you know, kind of butterfly.
• 17:18
  Feeling, yeah. It's so different.
• 17:22
  It's different when you've got kids.
• 17:23
  Like it's, I think back to that now and I'm like, Oh my God, how
• 17:26
  did I ever do that? And even now I think about
• 17:29
  waking up before 5:00 AM and I'm like, are you joking?
• 17:32
  But Christmas Day I am awake at 5:00 AM and I I don't wake them
• 17:37
  up, but I still. Haven't like bubbly excited, if
• 17:41
  I cough loud enough they might wake up.
• 17:43
  Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think this is the first
• 17:46
  obviously like I was excited last year but like she was just
• 17:49
  too small. So there was no she didn't, she
• 17:51
  wasn't walking and she wasn't even really crawling.
• 17:53
  She was a really late crawler. She literally went from crawling
• 17:56
  to walking in like 2 months. She was not bothered about
• 17:58
  crawling at all. So really this is the first year
• 18:02
  where she's going to actually come downstairs and like, walk
• 18:05
  into the living room and see them.
• 18:06
  And it's really funny because my mum, bless her, like, tried to
• 18:09
  set up this little holiday home like this for Molly with the
• 18:13
  presence under the tree. And she's came downstairs and
• 18:16
  she sat in the living room with all the like, like lights off
• 18:19
  because she wanted to record Molly's first reaction to see
• 18:22
  the presence under the tree. But what my mum didn't do was
• 18:25
  turn the flash off on her phone. So what she actually got was
• 18:28
  Molly walking into the room and walking right over to the camera
• 18:31
  and going light, Gigi light, light, Gigi light because she's
• 18:35
  shining the torch at her. So she didn't even see the tree.
• 18:38
  She's just got this video of Molly just staring at the
• 18:41
  camera. You know what?
• 18:42
  If that was me, I'd be like Molly back upstairs with.
• 18:44
  Redo. It's so fun at doing it again
• 18:47
  but I am looking forward to that this year.
• 18:48
  We I used to take my stocking into my mum's room and sit on my
• 18:52
  bed, on my mum's bed and open. It.
• 18:54
  That's exactly what I'm talking about.
• 18:56
  Yeah. They give it to you so you don't
• 18:58
  go into them too early. Matt Willis.
• 19:00
  Yeah, yeah, it doesn't work, mate.
• 19:02
  I mean it, maybe it does for them, but it did not for me.
• 19:05
  I always went into my mum's bedroom to open them.
• 19:08
  So much fun. I love hearing everybody's
• 19:10
  little traditions. So the the last one, the last
• 19:14
  part of this, we did actually get a quote from James as well.
• 19:17
  And Charlie was in this interview, but he didn't have
• 19:19
  much to say about Christmas. Charlie not having much to say.
• 19:22
  What I know, what on earth? So finally, Mr. James Bourne,
• 19:26
  the man of my heart, he said. I play Mario Kart with my
• 19:29
  brothers and we watch a film on Christmas Eve.
• 19:32
  It'll probably be Jingle All the Way Home Alone or The Grinch.
• 19:35
  Something good. And you know what, James?
• 19:37
  So it sounds like a pretty perfect Christmas Eve to me.
• 19:39
  So invite me over already so we can hang out because I'm only
• 19:42
  down the road. I'm in Bude.
• 19:43
  Just give me a holler. I'll come over.
• 19:45
  OK. Thanks.
• 19:46
  Thank you very much. Do you know what I do?
• 19:48
  That we play Mario Kart and watch I.
• 19:51
  Love. Mario Kart we play, so we've got
• 19:53
  Mario Party and we've got Mario Party Jamboree, I think it's
• 19:56
  called, and we've got Mario Kart and we also have the new Mario
• 20:00
  Kart because we're such a liker. We love.
• 20:04
  Those are our Christmas games. You know, some people play board
• 20:07
  games and stuff. Yeah, that's what we do.
• 20:09
  We don't have a Nintendo. Yeah.
• 20:12
  Have an Xbox, we have a Switch. So we, we play a lot of Mario
• 20:17
  Kart over Christmas, like the whole period.
• 20:18
  It's not like we spend the whole of Christmas Eve on the console.
• 20:22
  We also this year we've just bought ourselves because this is
• 20:25
  going to be our second Christmas, just the two of us.
• 20:28
  Well, four of us, but like in the evening, just two of us.
• 20:30
  So we've bought a new pack of cards.
• 20:34
  We've got a couple of board games that are just the two
• 20:37
  player kind of ones. But yeah, But yeah, we're a
• 20:40
  Mario Kart family. And actually it's not really a
• 20:42
  Christmas movie. If you know me, you know on
• 20:45
  Christmas Eve I'm watching Gavin and Stacey.
• 20:50
  Obviously, I've actually already done all of the Gavin and Stacey
• 20:53
  Christmas specials this year. Done them once, put my Christmas
• 20:56
  tree up. Yeah, that's what I do.
• 20:57
  I do, I, So normally I do it when I'm wrapping my Christmas
• 21:00
  presents on Christmas Eve. But this year I did it when I
• 21:03
  put my Christmas tree up and I finished them and I was like, Oh
• 21:05
  no, what am I going to do when I, when I wrap my presents?
• 21:09
  But obviously I'm just going to rewatch them.
• 21:12
  I know exactly. I don't know why I'm questioning
• 21:13
  myself. Obviously rewatched again.
• 21:16
  I also didn't watch them with Jack and he loves a bit of Gavin
• 21:18
  Stacey. So that's definitely going to
• 21:20
  be. I was going to ask you because
• 21:22
  obviously James Bond mentioning this what your favourite
• 21:26
  Christmas movie is. Why would you like so I just.
• 21:31
  Said such a hard favourite. One of my favourite genres of
• 21:34
  music is Cheesy Christmas. One of my favourite genres of
• 21:37
  moves movies, a Christmas movies.
• 21:42
  I would say I've got a top three, all for different
• 21:48
  reasons. I.
• 21:50
  Have to say elf. Oh.
• 21:52
  God, it's so good. So funny, so funny.
• 21:57
  So good never gets. Off.
• 21:59
  Yeah, exactly. So that's like my favourite,
• 22:01
  like, comedy Christmas movie. And it's so, so quotable.
• 22:06
  Do you know how often I go? Santa, I love you.
• 22:10
  I love you. I love you.
• 22:10
  I love you. You've done that to me so many
• 22:13
  times. I do it all the time.
• 22:16
  My favourite. Like cheesy lovey Christmas
• 22:20
  movie love. Actually, I could watch that
• 22:22
  once a week. Yeah, I love that.
• 22:24
  I love. It although, like you look at it
• 22:27
  now and you're like, this is a movie about fat shaming and
• 22:31
  sexual discipline, but yeah, it's.
• 22:36
  Pretty bad, but it's the IT was like, what, early naughties?
• 22:39
  Yeah, exactly what? Happened.
• 22:41
  It's just the way life was back then.
• 22:43
  Yeah, exactly. And my third, my favourite
• 22:47
  animated controversial Arthur Christmas.
• 22:50
  Oh, I'm saying it only seen Arthur Christmas once.
• 22:54
  Oh my God it's so good. I watch every year with the
• 22:57
  girls. I think my my least favourite.
• 22:59
  This year, yeah. I will tell you my least
• 23:01
  favourite, and I think I'm going to lose a lot of friends for
• 23:05
  saying this. Polar Express.
• 23:09
  Oh, Shannon. I mean, it's not a favourite of
• 23:11
  mine, but Katie will hate you forever.
• 23:14
  My sister and your cousin, she will hate you forever because I
• 23:19
  when we when we did the Polo Express train, she was more
• 23:22
  excited than the kids. I'm not even.
• 23:23
  Going to I bet she was singing hot chocolate.
• 23:25
  Oh yeah, and she was very, very excited the whole time.
• 23:28
  She was just like smiling ear to ear.
• 23:30
  She was loving life. Do you know what it is?
• 23:32
  I think it's something to do with the animation.
• 23:34
  I just. Don't.
• 23:35
  It's not. Yeah.
• 23:36
  It's a very like wooden animation, don't you think?
• 23:39
  Yeah. It's not soft, it's like wooden
• 23:42
  if I make sense. What's your favourites?
• 23:45
  Oh gosh. It's so hard to choose, but I
• 23:49
  don't think anything beats the Grinch for me.
• 23:51
  Really don't think it does. Great movie, original, right?
• 23:56
  Oh God, Jim Carrey 100%. I genuinely remember watching
• 24:01
  that movie over and over and over again with my sister when
• 24:06
  my sister was like maybe six or seven.
• 24:09
  She had it on video, used to have a video player, might even
• 24:13
  been, I think, yeah, it was definitely video, some little
• 24:15
  video player in her bedroom. So when I went to stay with her
• 24:18
  in Bristol, we just put the Grinch on repeat and we just,
• 24:20
  when we were like going to bed in the evening, we'd just watch
• 24:22
  it over and over again, literally just constantly.
• 24:25
  Definitely my top my favourite like romantic Christmas movie
• 24:29
  The holiday every single time. Do you know what?
• 24:33
  I think I would be a bigger fan of the holiday if I watched it
• 24:38
  more. I think I've watched it twice in
• 24:40
  my whole life. You were Shannon when I tell you
• 24:44
  the holiday over, love. Actually, you're missing a
• 24:47
  trick. I'm.
• 24:48
  Telling, you know what I think with Love Actually, for me, it's
• 24:52
  so. I used to watch Love Actually
• 24:54
  before I went to bed in like in December.
• 24:57
  We had it on DVD, that movie. Yeah, Yeah.
• 24:59
  And I watched it on DVD. And the problem with the DVD
• 25:02
  player back then is if you don't stop it, it would just restart
• 25:05
  because it would go to the menu. And I used to wake up in the
• 25:09
  night to my little drummer boy pointing, you know, the, you
• 25:14
  know, the scene where they sing. Is it all I want for Christmas?
• 25:18
  Mariah? Yeah, Mariah.
• 25:19
  I used to wake up to that bit every night and he was my
• 25:22
  favourite when I was a kid. I loved him.
• 25:26
  I root for him so much. I love that, but equally the
• 25:30
  cast of the I know I love Jude Law.
• 25:32
  I love Jude Law perfect and Jude Law plays the most sensitive,
• 25:37
  like cute, like oh, he's very much he's a widower.
• 25:40
  So he's like got two kids and he's like a widower and he falls
• 25:43
  in love with Cameron D has who, who comes over from the US and
• 25:46
  stays in, in, in his sister's house.
• 25:49
  And, and you know, Kate Winslet then goes to the US and stays in
• 25:54
  her house and meets Jack Black and then they, oh God, it's just
• 25:57
  it. Is I know I would love it, but I
• 26:00
  just need that. Maybe I'll watch it this year,
• 26:02
  because who doesn't love a Jude Law in like a chunky net?
• 26:07
  Oh, so good. And his glasses.
• 26:09
  His little. Glasses.
• 26:12
  I'll watch it this year. Is the scene with the napkin.
• 26:14
  He puts the napkin on his face and puts glasses over the napkin
• 26:17
  and sticks it in his mouth. And he like pretends to be this
• 26:20
  weird napkin man. And he's speaking to his kid and
• 26:23
  he's like, hello, I'm Mr Napkin Hen.
• 26:25
  And it is so funny. I don't even know why it's
• 26:27
  funny. It's Jude Law with a fucking
• 26:29
  napkin on his face. Do you know what I?
• 26:30
  Mean, this is what I mean. I haven't seen it so long.
• 26:32
  I don't know what you're talking about right now.
• 26:34
  Yes, so you need to watch it. So, so good, So good.
• 26:37
  Anyway, still waiting for my invite, James Bond.
• 26:39
  So just just holler at your girl.
• 26:42
  OK, let's move on because we've got some wonderful quizzes
• 26:45
  coming up your way. This quiz I pretty much made-up
• 26:53
  off the back of my head a few nights ago.
• 26:55
  I was sat there, I was like, right, we need a quiz, what the
• 26:57
  hell are we going to do? And I am sorry, but it's this
• 27:01
  rubbish. It's Christmas, everything is
• 27:04
  allowed to be a bit rubbish. I.
• 27:05
  Know it's okay. So there's two sections.
• 27:07
  There's round one which is busted or busted and then
• 27:13
  there's Round 2 which is busted to Christmas timeline.
• 27:16
  So it's it's not really a Christmas timeline.
• 27:18
  It's just a timeline to put put in order of things that
• 27:20
  happened. You put.
• 27:21
  Christmas. Because Christmas Upset.
• 27:22
  I see why you're coming. Upset and I do have an
• 27:25
  interesting fact for you to share at the end, is Christmas
• 27:28
  related. So no, we're going to start with
• 27:31
  busted or busted round one. Is this true or is it made-up #1
• 27:39
  Busted once released a Christmas jumper featuring their faces.
• 27:43
  I'm. Going to say I'm going to say
• 27:46
  made-up for that one. OK, I'm going to write this
• 27:49
  down. Oh wait, hold on.
• 27:51
  I have a busted T-shirt with their faces on.
• 27:55
  I'm going to say I'm going to say still not.
• 27:58
  I'm going to say still family. Stick with your gut #2 James
• 28:01
  Bourne wrote, wrote a busted song on Christmas Day.
• 28:06
  That's so James Bourne. Also so dedicated one.
• 28:09
  Absolutely. That's so that's that's such a
• 28:13
  like James Bond thing to do. Yeah, I'm going to say that
• 28:15
  that's true. OK, number 3C Simpson hates
• 28:20
  Christmas songs. I'm going to say that's true.
• 28:22
  He looks like a Bah humbug. #4 Busted have performed the year
• 28:30
  3000 in Santa hats. Oh, this is so rogue.
• 28:34
  Because like, why would you make that up?
• 28:38
  I'm going to say no. I'm also like really notoriously
• 28:43
  bad at these quizzes, so that's probably right, but I'm going to
• 28:47
  say no. And the last one, Matt Willis,
• 28:49
  once spent Christmas on tour eating a petrol station dinner.
• 28:55
  That's really sad. I'm going to say made-up because
• 29:00
  I don't remember them ever being on tour on Christmas.
• 29:05
  OK, so we've gone for No, they didn't have a Christmas jumper
• 29:08
  with their faces. Yes, James Bond wrote a song on
• 29:10
  Christmas Day. Yes, Charlie hates Christmas
• 29:12
  songs. No for Santa Hat's EA 3000 and
• 29:15
  no for Matt Wallace's Christmas petrol station dinner.
• 29:18
  OK, do you want to know if you've got them right or not?
• 29:22
  Not really. Number one Busted once released
• 29:26
  a Christmas jumper featuring their faces.
• 29:28
  True, they did Balls so no, no points.
• 29:35
  Nil poir #2. James Bond wrote a busted song
• 29:38
  on Christmas Day. Yes he did.
• 29:40
  You are right, it is very very James Bond thing to do.
• 29:42
  Very James number 3C Simpson hates Christmas songs.
• 29:47
  You've gone for yes, the answer is busted.
• 29:50
  No, he doesn't hate Christmas songs.
• 29:52
  Have you not seen the video of him singing the Christmas?
• 29:55
  I think I even shared it on our actual page.
• 29:58
  Shannon, how terrible is that? No way.
• 30:01
  Didn't you share it on our actual page?
• 30:04
  I'm pretty sure you. Made a real.
• 30:07
  You do what the fans want, you know what I mean?
• 30:09
  It doesn't mean you actually like it.
• 30:11
  Come. On no he doesn't.
• 30:12
  He doesn't hate Christmas songs. He doesn't hate Christmas songs
• 30:15
  #4 busted her for four year 3000 in Santa hats.
• 30:18
  Yes, they have, they did it, of course they did.
• 30:22
  So no points there I'm afraid. And finally, Matt Willis once
• 30:25
  spent Christmas on tour eating a petrol station dinner.
• 30:28
  Yes, he did. Poor, poor Matt.
• 30:31
  So Shannon won, I think that was.
• 30:34
  That's fine. That's better than before.
• 30:35
  It's better than my first. Probably it's better than.
• 30:40
  You've got James Bond wrote a busted song on Christmas Day.
• 30:42
  You've got that one correct. Well done.
• 30:43
  OK. Because that's so James Bond.
• 30:46
  Yeah, are. You ready for Round 2?
• 30:48
  This one's quite tricky so I've written the list out for you so
• 30:51
  you don't forget them because it's quite difficult, so you'll
• 30:53
  need to be seeing it on the screen to help you.
• 30:55
  OK, there's no answers there. I've got the answers somewhere
• 30:57
  safe so don't panic. I need you to put these in the
• 31:01
  correct order. Earliest to latest.
• 31:04
  OK #1 MC Busted is formed #2 What I go to school for is
• 31:11
  released. Number three, first Busted Arena
• 31:14
  tour #4 Busted split up #5 present for everyone is
• 31:19
  released. Number six, Busted versus McFly
• 31:22
  tour #7 Busted reunion #8 halfway there is released and #9
• 31:28
  first. Oh, I've done that one.
• 31:30
  Sorry, first Busted arena tour. We've already done one.
• 31:32
  Take that one out, sorry, put 2. So there's 8 to choose from now.
• 31:35
  Which one do you think is the earliest?
• 31:37
  And then order them to the latest.
• 31:40
  I think I'm going to like speed around this.
• 31:42
  Go for it. I feel like I've got it, but
• 31:44
  also I'm not. My track record isn't really,
• 31:48
  you know, great. So I'm going to go what I took,
• 31:53
  what I go to school for was released first.
• 31:55
  OK, I'm going to say then Present for Everyone was
• 32:01
  released. OK, then I'm going to say first
• 32:06
  busted arena tour. Okey.
• 32:09
  Dokey. Then I'm going to say Busted
• 32:12
  split up, then Mcbusted is formed, Okie Dokie, then Busted
• 32:25
  reunion, Charlie wanted to cash in, then halfway there released.
• 32:35
  Yeah. Then busted verse McFly.
• 32:38
  I'm quite confident with that. I feel like you've done pretty
• 32:41
  well there. I really do.
• 32:42
  OK, so I need you to look at the numbers that I've written.
• 32:44
  So you know what? Order you've said and I'm going
• 32:46
  to read the answers for you. OK?
• 32:48
  Number one, what I go to school for is release 2002.
• 32:52
  Well done #2 Present for Everyone is released 2003.
• 32:56

• 33:11
  Busted Reunion 2015. Halfway There is released 2000.
• 33:16
  19 smashed fire. Busted versus McFly, 2025
• 33:20
  Smashed play. Smash the fucker.
• 33:23
  Maybe. Maybe that's what I need to do.
• 33:25
  I just need to speed round it from now on.
• 33:26
  I. Think that's it?
• 33:27
  Go with your gut, go with your. I am so proud of myself, I might
• 33:31
  put that on my CV. Oh, please do.
• 33:35
  So I've got a little fact for you, a little Christmas related
• 33:37
  fact about Busted. And you'll notice that in this
• 33:40
  order in the middle summer, I think it's from #4 you see,
• 33:44
  Busted split up January 2005. Did you know and our wonderful
• 33:48
  listeners, whether you guys knew or not as well, that Charlie
• 33:52
  actually released to the band, to James and Matt and their
• 33:56
  producer, that he was leaving the band on Christmas Eve?
• 34:01
  What a dickhead. A dickhead.
• 34:05
  What a dickhead. Oh, Merry Christmas James.
• 34:08
  Merry Christmas Matt. By the way, I'm fucking off to
• 34:10
  Fight Star because I can't be arsed to say and write these
• 34:12
  stupid songs with you anymore. Do you reckon he put it in a
• 34:15
  Christmas card? Do you reckon?
• 34:17
  Well, like a Christmas cracker. It was like they pull the
• 34:20
  Christmas cracker and the joke is the joke is Charlie's staying
• 34:25
  in. Busted.
• 34:27
  Haha, joke's on you. No I'm not.
• 34:30
  Peace out, motherfuckers. I just thought like, as I saw
• 34:36
  obviously January 2005 and I was like, oh, I wonder like how
• 34:38
  close to Christmas it was. And then it came.
• 34:40
  I was reading about it and he literally said he told by the
• 34:43
  time they'd done the press release, obviously it was
• 34:45
  January, but he told James and Matt and their producer on
• 34:49
  Christmas Eve 2004, so. What a word I should not say on
• 34:55
  the podcast begins with C. Christmas Cracker.
• 34:59
  What a Christmas. What?
• 35:01
  A Christmas cracker. What's the Christmas cracker?
• 35:06
  Oh, dear. Well, you know, we know that
• 35:08
  without Charlie leaving the band, it would have been a very
• 35:11
  different road for all of them. And who knows?
• 35:13
  Yeah. We would have had more albums.
• 35:16
  Exactly. But we might, we might not have
• 35:18
  had Mcbusted, we might not have had true versus McFly.
• 35:22
  We probably wouldn't have had the Halfway There album because
• 35:25
  they wouldn't have done a reunion because they wouldn't
• 35:27
  have broken up. Do you know what I mean?
• 35:28
  Very true. And controversially me, myself
• 35:32
  and I, I wouldn't have. I've had fight start.
• 35:33
  So you can take it. It's fine.
• 35:35
  It's fine. Exactly.
• 35:40
  It's time for Song of the Week, or should we say Songs of the
• 35:44
  Week? Yes, songs.
• 35:46
  Because this is a Christmas theme episode, we are obviously
• 35:49
  going to be looking at all the Christmas covers by both bands
• 35:52
  over the years, which include Mcfly's Rockin, Robin Walking in
• 35:57
  the Air, Deck the Halls and Santa Claus is Coming To Town.
• 36:02
  And busted last Christmas. And hark the Herald, angels
• 36:05
  sing. Yeah, some absolute bangers for
• 36:08
  us to talk about. So we're going to start with
• 36:09
  McFly first. Some.
• 36:11
  So OK, so Shannon has some very strong opinions on some of these
• 36:14
  songs and you'll notice that there's a bit of a theme with
• 36:17
  with whose songs she prefers. As we start, we are going to
• 36:23
  start with McFly. So let's start with Rockin
• 36:25
  Robin. Give us your rating out of 10
• 36:27
  and tell us your reasons. My, my, right now I've got three
• 36:34
  different ratings for Rockin Robin.
• 36:36
  I've got, I've got my Rockin Robin when it came out, my
• 36:39
  Rockin Robin as I am an adult and my Rockin Robin as a parent.
• 36:44
  So yeah. So as it came out, I'm going to
• 36:48
  say 8 out of 10 bloody loved it. Absolute banger.
• 36:53
  And then as they released new Christmas songs like, you know,
• 36:57
  walking in the air and stuff, I think it would have probably
• 37:00
  dropped like, a six. 6 1/2. Yeah.
• 37:05
  And as a parent, when I tell you I've listened to this song about
• 37:08
  three times a day since November, it's 10 out of 10.
• 37:12
  I love that, that makes me so happy.
• 37:14
  Do the girls love it? They love it.
• 37:17
  My littlest who's 4 she walks around the kitchen goon and I
• 37:25
  love the idea that this is the version of Rockin Robin.
• 37:28
  She's going to grow up. They.
• 37:28
  Know. Oh I was just going to say, do
• 37:30
  they know the original or they just know the McFly?
• 37:33
  Don't she's. So cute she's.
• 37:35
  Going to grow up and all her other friends are going to be
• 37:37
  like, oh, like that Jackson Fire song and she's going to be like
• 37:39
  what? Who?
• 37:41
  Who? Is.
• 37:42
  That Do you mean the McFly song? Do you mean Dougie's number one
• 37:47
  song? I absolutely love that.
• 37:50
  Well, there you go. 33 ratings. So an average of what, 8?
• 37:54
  Is that your average? I suppose, because 10-8,
• 37:58
  although you say 8. Yeah, 810. 10/8 and like a 6.5.
• 38:02
  South an average of an 8, I'd say 8 1/2.
• 38:04
  OK cool, cool. I'm I fairly agree with you.
• 38:07
  I think I'm probably more of a 7 only because, as we will find
• 38:13
  out very shortly, there's another song of theirs that's
• 38:16
  the Christmas cover that I cannot rate any less than 10.
• 38:21
  But I just love how much Dougie sings in Rocking Robin.
• 38:25
  It makes me so. 10 out of 10, isn't it?
• 38:27
  It's so. Watching the video of them
• 38:29
  performing it like our like live and Oh my God, I was just so
• 38:33
  happy to see him like properly singing because obviously we
• 38:36
  know Dougie sings, but Dougie's obviously more of the background
• 38:39
  guy. He's more of like the vocal
• 38:41
  backup, whereas we know Tom and Danny are front men.
• 38:44
  But to hear Dougie's voice just on its own with nothing else,
• 38:48
  just music behind it, like it's like Transylvania all over
• 38:50
  again. It's just so nice to have those
• 38:52
  moments. Oh, he needs to give himself a
• 38:54
  bit more credit, because he's got a banging voice.
• 38:56
  He has and it's so like it's unique.
• 38:59
  You know, when Dougie's singing, do you know what I mean?
• 39:01
  Like you can tell, obviously we we know Tom and Danny are very
• 39:05
  like diverse vocally and we know Dougie isn't quite as diverse
• 39:09
  vocally as they are, but he's still got such a lovely tone and
• 39:12
  I I appreciate it. I really appreciate it.
• 39:14
  So rockin Robin. I'm yeah, I'm going to go with
• 39:16
  the seven, mainly down to Dougie's fantastic little solar
• 39:20
  areas. But yeah, my next one is my
• 39:24
  absolute favourite. So shall we talk about walking
• 39:26
  in the air? Let's go, let's go.
• 39:29
  You go first. Very simple turn out of term
• 39:35
  because you know what? I like this song in general.
• 39:38
  Like the is it Ali Jones? Is that his name?
• 39:40
  I'm sure that's his. Name.
• 39:41
  Yeah. The original, I can remember
• 39:43
  listening to Alan Jones when I was younger and like watching
• 39:45
  the snowman on the telly with the fires and like a cosy
• 39:48
  blanket and it always made me feel so Christmassy.
• 39:51
  You know those things that like start before Christmas that make
• 39:54
  you feel really Christmassy? Yeah.
• 39:56
  Like the snow tingle, like the Christmas tingle, you know when
• 40:00
  you see the Coca-Cola advert with the this is coming, The
• 40:04
  this is coming, love that and that.
• 40:06
  This gives me the same sort of vibe when I hear this.
• 40:09
  Or when Michael Bublé starts to defrost, he starts coming out
• 40:13
  again. I feel like this with Walking in
• 40:14
  the Air. So the song itself was already
• 40:16
  quite highly rated because it is quite nostalgic in Christmassy
• 40:19
  for me. But my Lord above, can we talk
• 40:21
  about Danny for a moment? Yeah.
• 40:24
  Because obviously it's good all over.
• 40:27
  They all sing amazing. And the little guitar solos are
• 40:30
  so good. And like, the energy behind it
• 40:31
  is great. The section of the song where
• 40:35
  Danny just lies on the carpet and he and the cameras like
• 40:38
  panning over the top of him and he's just like shouting into the
• 40:42
  microphone. I was just like POV, like.
• 40:45
  Looking at him from. Above, I was just like, this is
• 40:48
  great. I just love how he's still
• 40:55
  singing. You know, obviously it's not the
• 40:57
  falsetto Aled Jones walking in the air, but he's still singing
• 40:59
  so high and he's singing it in his chest voice and it's so
• 41:02
  powerful. I think it just gave the song
• 41:05
  like a completely new feel. And that's why I love about it.
• 41:08
  They can. They've taken a song that's
• 41:10
  really soft and magical and, you know, gentle and la, la, la, la,
• 41:13
  la. And they've made it into like,
• 41:15
  yeah, let's jump. Around I completely agree.
• 41:17
  Yeah, I agree because my rate, my rating for the original is a
• 41:22
  one out of 10. Oh, you.
• 41:24
  Hate it. I hate the original, but it's
• 41:27
  not even we're like polar opposites here, aren't we?
• 41:31
  It's not even the I don't know what it is about the original.
• 41:36
  I think it's a bit of an earworm and I also think it's one of
• 41:40
  those songs that you, it's Marmite.
• 41:44
  You either love it or you hate it.
• 41:45
  And I really just can't, cannot stand it.
• 41:48
  And I love the snowman. We are very much Christmas Day.
• 41:53
  We watch the snowman, Stickman and Gruffalo all one after the
• 41:57
  other on Christmas Day. Love that.
• 42:00
  So I, I, I appreciate the song. I just don't like the song
• 42:04
  however. I mean, don't get me wrong, I
• 42:06
  wouldn't put it on in the car. No, you don't.
• 42:09
  Try and do your best, Ellie Jones.
• 42:11
  I'm not impression. I'm not pulling up at the
• 42:13
  traffic lights. We're.
• 42:14
  Walking in the Molly I'm head banging defenders in the
• 42:18
  background. I'm head banging to Mcfly's
• 42:21
  version. I will say though, if you give
• 42:25
  like you know, bear in mind my original rating for the song is
• 42:28
  1 out of 10. This for me is 9 out of 10.
• 42:33
  Just because the -1 is because I don't like the song, the the
• 42:37
  whole 9 is specifically. For them.
• 42:40
  Danny Frickin Jones. Danny Frickin Jones.
• 42:45
  It's the, it's the rocking it up.
• 42:48
  It's that there's no high pitch. It's all, ah, do you know what I
• 42:50
  mean? It's amazing.
• 42:52
  It's. Like he is.
• 42:54
  It's like he's getting all his frustration.
• 42:56
  I'm not going to mention what kind of frustration, but it's
• 42:58
  like he's getting all of his frustration out on that
• 43:00
  microphone. Yeah, I get it.
• 43:02
  I'd happily need the microphone. I'm not going to lie.
• 43:05
  Take all that frustration out on me.
• 43:08
  I love it. I absolutely love it.
• 43:09
  And I do like the performance of it.
• 43:11
  I do like the video. I think it is cool.
• 43:14
  It does make it feel a bit more like it's just a bit more vibey,
• 43:18
  isn't it? Do you know what I mean?
• 43:19
  It's not as Christmassy. It's more like, Oh yeah, this is
• 43:21
  a McFly song rather than it being a Christmas song.
• 43:24
  OK, cool. So we've got a nine and a 10.
• 43:26
  Great. OK.
• 43:27
  Should we move on to Deck the Halls?
• 43:28
  I'll let you go first this time. Deck the halls I would say 7 out
• 43:35
  of 10 for me for deck the horse. OK, cool.
• 43:38
  Cool. I love it.
• 43:38
  It's good. It's just not my favourite
• 43:40
  Christmas song. It's not my favourite McFly
• 43:42
  song, it's not my favourite McFly Christmas song.
• 43:45
  It's just a good song. I think it's hard to follow like
• 43:50
  obviously I think deck the horse came out before walking in the
• 43:52
  air, right, because The Walking in.
• 43:53
  The air was. The young Was it young dumb
• 43:55
  thrills they did walking in the air.
• 43:57
  Yeah. Yes, I thought so.
• 44:00
  I think, but once you've got that to compare to which we've
• 44:04
  had for a fair few years now, it's very hard to to like it as
• 44:08
  much. Do you know what I like about
• 44:10
  Deck of the Halls is it feels so like, it feels so off the cuff.
• 44:16
  It feels like they were just in the studio.
• 44:20
  Maybe it was like break time. They're all eating their lunch
• 44:23
  and then they just start jamming together and then it's very, by
• 44:27
  the way, we recorded that. Do you know what I mean?
• 44:29
  It's. So I get that it's very
• 44:30
  acoustic, isn't it? It's very chill.
• 44:33
  It's very acoustic. It's got really like folksy
• 44:35
  vibes to it as well, which is one of the key things I wrote
• 44:37
  down it. It's almost like I always like
• 44:41
  it bopped to it a little bit. Oh 100% I mean. 100, I wasn't
• 44:45
  like when I would. I was listening to Walking in
• 44:47
  the Air. If you looked at my facial
• 44:48
  expressions, I was like, yeah, I wish we were recording video for
• 44:52
  this because you would see my facial expressions.
• 44:53
  Everybody can't. But, you know, you can imagine
• 44:55
  it. The eyebrows are furrowed.
• 44:57
  Yeah. Whereas Deck the Halls is very,
• 45:00
  like, cool. It's pretty chills, pretty
• 45:02
  boppy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 45:04
  But I do like the little acoustic folksy vibe they've
• 45:07
  added to it. I think it does make it.
• 45:09
  It's better than listening to the original in my opinion.
• 45:12
  I can see, I can see them in, like a Hallmark movie as a band
• 45:17
  in the background. Do you know what I mean?
• 45:20
  Like, I can see them on like a Christmas market in some kind of
• 45:25
  movie. And this couple that are
• 45:27
  obviously going to fall in love at Christmas time.
• 45:30
  Just happened to me at the bandstand where this band is
• 45:33
  playing this song. It's very festive.
• 45:36
  It's very like, yeah. I agree, but I feel like that
• 45:39
  would work quite well. Maybe that's a trick that
• 45:41
  they've missed there. Maybe they.
• 45:42
  Need to. Well there we go.
• 45:43
  Just my luck 2.0. Oh, I'd be so here for that.
• 45:48
  Just my festive luck. Oh, there you go.
• 45:52
  I would get. I would agree.
• 45:53
  I'd give it a six, maybe even A5.
• 45:57
  I don't know. I know.
• 45:59
  But I feel like it's not even. It's not that it's what I'm
• 46:01
  rating it. If I'm rating just their
• 46:04
  Christmas songs, then yeah, a six.
• 46:06
  If I'm rating it opposed to like the actual songs, A5 easily.
• 46:11
  Do you know what I mean? I mean.
• 46:12
  No, I don't know what you mean. Because last.
• 46:15
  Christmas Herald coming up and they're like.
• 46:18
  Oh, don't give five. Don't give away how much you
• 46:21
  hate them yet. OK, the gig is up, everybody.
• 46:26
  It's very obvious that Shannon prefers Mcfly's Christmas songs,
• 46:29
  but I don't we all. It's hard not to when McFly have
• 46:35
  Mr Christmas himself. I know, I know, I get it.
• 46:39
  I get it. I last one is obviously Santa
• 46:42
  Claus is coming to town. I I'm not overly bothered by
• 46:47
  this one. If I'm completely honest.
• 46:49
  I like it. I liked the energy.
• 46:51
  I liked the, I mean, they did it for Tech Santa Rosa, which is
• 46:56
  the the one I watched rather than listening to it from the B
• 47:00
  side. I like the energy that they give
• 47:03
  it. And I think it's nice because
• 47:05
  it's a song that everybody knows and it's very much for me, it's
• 47:08
  very much like a kiddie version. Do you know what I mean?
• 47:12
  Yeah, yeah. Do you Get Me Out of all of
• 47:15
  them? I mean, although we're comparing
• 47:17
  with Tweedly Diddly D at the beginning, which I suppose is
• 47:23
  also loved by your children. So I haven't played it for Molly
• 47:26
  yet. I missed it this year.
• 47:29
  She will next year. Yeah.
• 47:32
  I think I'd probably mark it the same as Deck of the Halls.
• 47:34
  I'd probably give it a six, maybe just above Deck of the
• 47:37
  Halls, just because it's a little bit more like McFly
• 47:40
  rather than it being like acousticy.
• 47:42
  It's a bit more like energetic in a bit more them.
• 47:45
  Not, like I said, not overly bothered by the song itself.
• 47:49
  Not. Really.
• 47:49
  So I would give it like I would give it a 7, but not because I
• 47:55
  think the song itself is a 7, but it reminds me of a time as a
• 48:03
  McFly fan, like it reminds me of no worries.
• 48:06
  Do you know what I mean? It's very festive.
• 48:10
  No worries and no worries at one point in my life was my number
• 48:14
  one song. It would have been my wedding
• 48:15
  song and my funeral song all at the same time because it was
• 48:18
  like, So I would. I rate it high, but I think I
• 48:22
  rate it high for nostalgia reasons more than the fact that
• 48:24
  it's a good song. I get that.
• 48:26
  I completely get that. And I mean it's 2007 as well.
• 48:29
  So like, it's a long old time ago we were literally no.
• 48:35
  No, remind me how old I am. Literally says here.
• 48:38
  Released on the 3rd of December 2007.
• 48:42
  Grossed. Absolutely.
• 48:44
  Disgusting. So gross.
• 48:45
  So overall, McFly, you've done well, but we're still waiting
• 48:49
  for one more 10 out of 10 bagger.
• 48:51
  I mean, walking in the air does it for me, but I think we need a
• 48:54
  little bit more from them. What song do you think they'd be
• 48:56
  good at covering? Or Christmas?
• 48:58
  Christmas. Oh that's hard.
• 49:00
  Off the cuff question. Do you know what?
• 49:03
  Watching Danny sing Céline Dion on The Last Singer, he could do
• 49:09
  whatever he wants. It wouldn't make no difference.
• 49:11
  He could do Mariah. Oh my God, could you imagine?
• 49:15
  Can you imagine? I would be so down with all I
• 49:19
  want for Christmas is you. But you know, I would also
• 49:21
  really like I think they'd be really good at it because
• 49:24
  they're so animated. Is the song from the Grinch You
• 49:29
  know you're. Amazing.
• 49:29
  Oh my God, Mr Grinch. I think they'd be so good at
• 49:33
  that. Oh my God, that would.
• 49:34
  Be so like a rocked up version of Where are you Christmas.
• 49:37
  You know, she just, she just released that.
• 49:40
  Didn't she Tell her what's happened?
• 49:42
  She just released a have rocked up version.
• 49:45
  Used to love The Pretty Reckless so Oh.
• 49:47
  My goodness, so. Much.
• 49:50
  I used to have a poster of Taylor Monster.
• 49:53
  You make me want to die. Well, I'll never be good enough.
• 49:57
  Oh. My God you're bringing back so
• 50:00
  many memes. I say.
• 50:02
  My old boyfriend from school used to love The Pretty Reckless
• 50:06
  so I was introduced to them by him and I didn't even realise
• 50:11
  who it was for so long. It was probably.
• 50:15
  You love me XOXO. It was probably nearly a year
• 50:21
  before I realised that it was Taylor Mumson from the Grinch
• 50:25
  that I realised. And yeah, I saw the release the
• 50:28
  other day and was just like, girl, you know how to bring him
• 50:31
  in. They would.
• 50:32
  Smash that, they would smash that.
• 50:34
  They definitely would. Oh my God I'd be so up for that.
• 50:38
  So if you're listening any members of McFly lol.
• 50:43
  Come on, Hauser. Come on.
• 50:45
  Come on guys, we know you love us.
• 50:48
  Just give. Us a SO.
• 50:50
  Yeah, so, so give us a version please, of where are you,
• 50:53
  Christmas by the pretty. Record.
• 50:55
  I think they would smash that. They would.
• 50:57
  I don't have another one. I think that would be it.
• 50:59
  Or maybe something like I've got this image of like Tom and Danny
• 51:06
  doing acoustic. I really can stay, but baby,
• 51:10
  it's a Christmas that would be. So good.
• 51:15
  Do you know what, though? It would be Dougie.
• 51:17
  It would be Dougie they'd have to do.
• 51:19
  That I'm going to change it completely.
• 51:22
  Dougie and Matt, let's do the whole.
• 51:25
  Let's do the whole. Your guts in reverse.
• 51:29
  I literally paid to see that. Oh my God.
• 51:32
  If I didn't hate AI so much I would probably.
• 51:36
  I'd probably be like, it's not that I hate AI.
• 51:38
  I love AI for so many things, but when it recreates like you
• 51:43
  ask it to recreate like an actual person and the thing that
• 51:48
  comes out is just not that the. Amount of times that I've
• 51:52
  listened to a song on like I'll be scrolling Tick Tock and be
• 51:55
  like, Harry Styles does a cover of style by Taylor Swift and I'm
• 51:59
  like, really? That song is about him and I'm
• 52:01
  like, oh wait. Oh, wait.
• 52:03
  Sai and I've fully. Fallen for it.
• 52:05
  I did. I went to do.
• 52:07
  I was on Cam, not Canva cap cut the other day.
• 52:10
  Like there's a lot of templates and stuff on there and one of
• 52:13
  the templates was like you hugging your younger self or
• 52:16
  something. So I uploaded a picture of Tom
• 52:21
  in like 2005 to Tom Now just so I could say it was so bad.
• 52:27
  That's fine, because I thought you were going to be like.
• 52:29
  Oh no, it wasn't. Me, that sounds like you're such
• 52:31
  a cringe bag. Who do you think I are?
• 52:36
  You know, I know you've done that in your spare time.
• 52:38
  I'm I haven't, but I'm gonna. Oh my goodness.
• 52:42
  You know, I've just remembered. I'm sorry we are so off topic
• 52:44
  here, but we when we were at uni and we had that friend Jess and
• 52:50
  we were in the library and I photoshopped.
• 52:53
  Well, I say photoshopped. I like painted like the paint
• 52:57
  app my face onto Harry Styles's face.
• 53:01
  Oh my goodness, I'm going to have to find those photos.
• 53:04
  I don't remember because we've been in the library for 24 hours
• 53:07
  writing our dissertations. Yeah.
• 53:09
  And I all I wrote was probably six.
• 53:13
  Yeah. And then watched a couple of
• 53:15
  episodes made in Chelsea and then I pasted my face on to
• 53:17
  Harry Styles. Oh.
• 53:23
  Man, back in the good old days. Anyway, moving along swiftly.
• 53:27
  And then we should probably move on to talk about Busted songs
• 53:31
  now. So let's talk about Busted last
• 53:34
  Christmas. And hark the Herald, angels
• 53:36
  sing. Yes, the pop pop band Busted did
• 53:40
  release a cover of the Christmas Carol Hark the Herald Angels
• 53:44
  Sing, including it as AB Side on their single from their album A
• 53:48
  Present For Everyone in 2003. Now, I don't know about you, but
• 53:53
  I love me A Christmas Carol. I really do.
• 53:56
  I'm one of those people. Do you know what?
• 53:58
  Last weekend, where was I? I was in the Chapel.
• 54:00
  I was in the village Chapel and I was belting them Christmas
• 54:03
  songs, Shannon, because I, I'm not religious, don't go to
• 54:06
  church, but my God, there was mince pies and coffee involved
• 54:08
  and they were singing. I was there.
• 54:10
  Monday, we're going to a Carol sing along, Actually.
• 54:13
  Oh. I love it.
• 54:14
  We're going we're going to a Christmas tree farm.
• 54:17
  I'm going to do a Carol sing along with mince pies and mulled
• 54:21
  wine and. Are you going to sing Taylor
• 54:23
  Swift while you're at the Christmas tree?
• 54:26
  If you don't send me a video, if you don't get, if I don't get a
• 54:31
  video of you singing that song on Christmas tree farm, we
• 54:33
  cannot be friends. I have now got Sorry I know this
• 54:37
  is not Taylor Swift podcast but I have now.
• 54:39
  It's not as in what do you mean? Are you sure it is?
• 54:43
  I feel like we mention her every week, but I've now got my my
• 54:48
  youngest child to recognise her songs as well.
• 54:51
  And Christmas Tree Farm came on the other day and Bradley was
• 54:55
  like, oh, let's turn this off an hour.
• 54:56
  I was like, no, daddy, this is Taylor Swift.
• 54:58
  And I was like, yes, girl. Can I just say my not even 2
• 55:03
  year old can see a picture of Taylor Swift even as a cartoon?
• 55:07
  As in, like I've got pictures, picture books of Taylor Swift
• 55:10
  and she looks at it and she goes Tay, Tay.
• 55:13
  Love that. I love that we are raising the
• 55:15
  right kids. We are She loves the era's tour.
• 55:18
  I put the era's tour on sometimes as just a background
• 55:20
  noise and she loves it and chanted comes on and she
• 55:22
  pretends to be a Princess and it makes me the.
• 55:24
  Happiest in the world. Do you remember when we watched
• 55:26
  it and I had to film the whole thing and you looked at me and I
• 55:28
  was like, it's for autumn, It's the Princess song.
• 55:32
  Literally, literally. Anyway, moving on.
• 55:36
  I so I actually I knew. Obviously Bastard did and I
• 55:40
  remembered them doing Christmas covers and then when obviously
• 55:42
  when we talked about doing like a Christmas episode, I thought,
• 55:45
  oh, I need to do a little bit of like deep diving into what these
• 55:48
  Christmas songs. But I busted right because I
• 55:50
  haven't listened to them for a very long time.
• 55:52
  They came out in 2003 and it's not like they're played every
• 55:54
  year on the radio. Do you know what I mean?
• 55:55
  We don't necessarily hear these songs very often.
• 55:59
  However, I I was quite pleased with what I found and I know we
• 56:04
  have controversial opinions and your your opinions very
• 56:06
  different to mine. We've already had a little a
• 56:08
  brief chat about these songs. If you haven't, I had a big
• 56:11
  telling off. Yeah, you did.
• 56:13
  Yeah, God be more positive. Please.
• 56:16
  If you haven't listened to these songs, go and have a listen to
• 56:18
  them. They are on YouTube and it is
• 56:20
  actually the best thing ever. Watching them on YouTube in
• 56:23
  their original 2003 quality which is just grain and blur and
• 56:29
  closer you can't even see them because the quality is so bad.
• 56:34
  It's just brilliant. The last Christmas I think was
• 56:37
  performed on Top of the Pops I think I remember you saying
• 56:39
  earlier and they did a the video for Hark the Herald Angels is of
• 56:45
  a live show but the actual track is playing so it's not actually
• 56:48
  them. Singing is CDUKI think.
• 56:51
  Yes, it is. I I'm going to start by asking
• 56:56
  your ratings and what you can tell me what you I say did or
• 57:00
  didn't like. But we both know where you're
• 57:01
  going to go with that about the songs, because then I can sort
• 57:04
  of lift spirits after with mine, I think.
• 57:06
  OK, Yeah. What?
• 57:06
  Do you reckon? Yes, I feel that.
• 57:08
  Go on then, let's get ratings. So I don't like either of them.
• 57:12
  I said earlier. I said earlier, I'm really, I'm
• 57:17
  not a fan of like a cheesy Christmas cover.
• 57:21
  I think if you're going to cover a Christmas song, you need to
• 57:25
  make it amazing or you need to make it exactly the same.
• 57:29
  I think they tried to busted it up too much.
• 57:32
  I what I will say is my favourite of the two is last
• 57:36
  Christmas because I will never be a sucker.
• 57:40
  I'll never not be a sucker. Sorry for 2003 Matt Willis's
• 57:45
  voice. I live or die for that voice.
• 57:48
  However, what I will say the most, the positive thing from
• 57:52
  Hark the Herald, what I'll say is Charlie's range, his his
• 57:59
  range of like, you're a pop band, you're a rock star, you're
• 58:04
  a screamer. You're you also can melodically
• 58:09
  sing perfectly A Christmas Carol.
• 58:13
  What? Talk about bloody range and
• 58:17
  diversity. Yeah, right.
• 58:19
  I I give them both equally well. I give half the herald a 2 out
• 58:23
  of 10 and that too is literally for Charlie alone and I give
• 58:29
  last Christmas 3 out of 10. Can I just just dub you in a
• 58:33
  little bit there because is that your real?
• 58:36
  Is that your real rating, Shannon?
• 58:37
  Do you want to tell everybody what your real ratings are?
• 58:41
  Earlier I gave him a one out of 10 all right, but then I
• 58:44
  rewatched. I just don't want people to hate
• 58:47
  me. We're.
• 58:47
  Being honest with our listeners about what we.
• 58:50
  No, but that one is still only for Charlie.
• 58:53
  Like, I really did not like it. I think it was like it.
• 58:56
  Do you know what it do? You know what it screams to me?
• 58:58
  It screams right. We're in the height of fame.
• 59:01
  It's Christmas. Let's just throw someone out
• 59:03
  quickly. We'll get a couple of sales
• 59:05
  because we're so big right now. People are going to buy it
• 59:08
  whether it's shit or not. Yeah, I get it.
• 59:10
  And we did, because we. Did.
• 59:13
  I definitely had it. I can remember having it.
• 59:14
  So you know, it is what it is. It's no rockin.
• 59:17
  Robin, that's all I'll say. Wow.
• 59:19
  That's the McFly. That's the Team McFly in you.
• 59:24
  I disagree. I'm not going to be ranking this
• 59:27
  up there with the likes of, you know, all our favourite Busted
• 59:31
  songs. I think I'll give it like maybe
• 59:34
  a four, maybe four. Yeah, I'd say 4 because I do
• 59:39
  like it. I think, I think I would.
• 59:42
  I would rank Hark the Herald Angels higher than Last
• 59:45
  Christmas because I'm probably going to get people that to
• 59:49
  absolutely hate me. Now, as a rule, I don't actually
• 59:52
  really like Last Christmas as a song.
• 59:54
  No, I don't. Do you know what?
• 59:56
  I'm with you. I don't.
• 59:57
  I'm just not a massive fan of it.
• 59:59
  I mean, obviously it's Wham. Obviously it's cool.
• 1:00:02
  Obviously everybody loved Bam back in the 80s.
• 1:00:05
  We're not 80s girls, we're 90s girls.
• 1:00:06
  And actually really we're naughties girls because we were
• 1:00:08
  very, very young in the 90s. I think that.
• 1:00:11
  It's it's a good cover, they did a good cover.
• 1:00:14
  I don't think it's their best work.
• 1:00:15
  I think I understand what you mean about them trying to cover
• 1:00:18
  it rather than like turn it into something else.
• 1:00:22
  I think Hark the Herald Angels was better, but the first minute
• 1:00:27
  and 1/2 is what gives it a four for me.
• 1:00:30
  Yeah. I agree with you in that it's
• 1:00:33
  Charlie Simpson that's that's got that rating, because it's
• 1:00:36
  not that I don't enjoy James and Matt.
• 1:00:37
  I think they've done a good job. It was good.
• 1:00:39
  It was it was very busted. They, you know, they add the the
• 1:00:42
  guitar. You can hear the sort of
• 1:00:44
  electric guitar. It feels very Beach Boys like.
• 1:00:47
  It feels very like Beatles Y Beach Boys Y Like, why are you
• 1:00:53
  trying to make this Christmas song sound like I should be
• 1:00:56
  listening to it in the middle of summer?
• 1:00:58
  Yeah, I think I get you. I get you with that sort of
• 1:01:00
  vibe. It's not a Christmas vibe that
• 1:01:02
  they've given it. It's a busted vibe.
• 1:01:03
  But that's probably what they were asked to do.
• 1:01:05
  So they're just trying to people, please.
• 1:01:08
  They were just trying to make the listeners happy.
• 1:01:10
  I mean, This is why Charlie left, let's be honest.
• 1:01:13
  Well, yeah, true. He left literally because he
• 1:01:15
  did. He was making being forced to
• 1:01:17
  make this poppy, teeny, you know, PG rated music, music that
• 1:01:21
  he didn't want to do. He wanted to go to fight Star
• 1:01:23
  and he was. Forced to do what the Herald
• 1:01:25
  Angels sing. And like, let's not forget as
• 1:01:29
  well, like they were really young.
• 1:01:30
  This is 2003. Like they were really, really
• 1:01:33
  young. I mean, Charlie was what, like
• 1:01:34
  18? I mean, as an 18 year old, do
• 1:01:37
  you really want to be singing the Herald Angels sing on live
• 1:01:40
  TV in front of all your friends? Probably.
• 1:01:42
  Not exactly. Also, I think there's so many
• 1:01:44
  better songs that they could have covered that would have
• 1:01:46
  been so much. Like, imagine if I know we
• 1:01:47
  talked about earlier, but imagine them singing Slade.
• 1:01:50
  Oh yeah, it's Christmas. Yeah, it would have been better
• 1:01:53
  for them to have chosen something that was a bit more
• 1:01:55
  upbeat and like Rocky. Hark that old fucking Angel
• 1:01:59
  sing. I'm really passionate about it
• 1:02:04
  because I love Christmas songs and I love Busted and this is
• 1:02:07
  just not what I envisioned. It was the addition of the the
• 1:02:10
  swear word that just made that. So.
• 1:02:12
  Much better. Hark the fucking Angel sing.
• 1:02:15
  What on earth? It's just so funny.
• 1:02:19
  Sorry, I thought that. Was a knob head thing.
• 1:02:25
  Anyway, moving on, I, I think the first half and I did when we
• 1:02:29
  were listening to earlier, I had it playing while we were like
• 1:02:31
  setting up and they Charlie does this little riff and Oh my Lord
• 1:02:36
  of us, it's very good. It's very there was a rift in
• 1:02:40
  there and those moments and I really enjoyed that.
• 1:02:43
  It was when it got a bit more upbeat.
• 1:02:44
  That's when I sort of started to tune out a little bit again.
• 1:02:47
  Last Christmas was OK, not a massive fan of that song.
• 1:02:49
  Think I'd probably just skip it if it came on like Spotify
• 1:02:53
  shuffle or well, I probably I skipped probably listened to I
• 1:02:56
  probably listened to Hark the Herald angels at this time of
• 1:02:59
  year. But any other time, obviously
• 1:03:00
  it's not happening because it's bad luck and.
• 1:03:02
  Who wants to listen to that? In July do.
• 1:03:05
  You know what I would rather do? I'd rather AI busted singing a
• 1:03:10
  decent song but make it up. Like honestly I'm so
• 1:03:17
  disappointed because I love Christmas songs, I love busted
• 1:03:20
  and it's my favourite time of year apart from Halloween and I
• 1:03:24
  just oh it's just it just feels like money grab.
• 1:03:30
  I get it annoys me. I just don't think they had much
• 1:03:32
  say in it if I'm completely honest.
• 1:03:34
  I really don't think either. However, as you and I both said
• 1:03:37
  before, a Present for Everyone album, which was obviously
• 1:03:41
  released near Christmas, was a present for everyone because.
• 1:03:46
  That was my present, yeah. That album.
• 1:03:49
  Merry Christmas. Thank you very.
• 1:03:51
  Much that's genuinely like, up there with one of my top five
• 1:03:55
  favourite albums ever. Oh.
• 1:03:56
  I love that for you. Do you know what?
• 1:03:59
  It's probably up there with mine, I just haven't thought
• 1:04:00
  about it. My top five favourite albums
• 1:04:03
  100%. Oh yeah.
• 1:04:05
  But it's so hard though because Taylor Swift has like 10 albums.
• 1:04:09
  Do you know what the? Thing is, if I said 12, if I say
• 1:04:12
  to anybody what's the top five favourite albums, I could tell
• 1:04:16
  you 2 of mine and then I'd have to think of the rest.
• 1:04:19
  But there are always 2 that are in there and it is Take Off Your
• 1:04:22
  Colours, You Meet six and present for everyone.
• 1:04:25
  Busted. And then I have to think of the
• 1:04:27
  other three those. Two always there.
• 1:04:30
  I I still don't know whether I still can't decide which McFly
• 1:04:34
  album is my favourite. I genuinely I just can't.
• 1:04:36
  I find it so difficult. I know which one mine is.
• 1:04:40
  I know yours is. Is yours most in nation or room
• 1:04:43
  and 3rd floor? So mine is radioactive.
• 1:04:48
  Oh, radioactive. Oh, I feel like radioactive.
• 1:04:50
  Feel like I was not expecting that from you.
• 1:04:52
  All Motion in the ocean, radioactive motion in the ocean
• 1:04:54
  both give me like the best kind of nostalgic feels.
• 1:04:59
  I can listen to every single song on every single day albums.
• 1:05:03
  It would be motion in the ocean for me, I think.
• 1:05:05
  I think it's got a. Spoiler They're all like above
• 1:05:08
  8. Every single song on that album.
• 1:05:10
  Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert for the future.
• 1:05:14
  Well, you know, they weren't the best songs ever busted, but you
• 1:05:17
  did a good job. And like we said, the present
• 1:05:20
  for everyone album really was a present for everyone.
• 1:05:22
  So thank you very much. And it's Christmas, so you know
• 1:05:26
  it's Christmas. We hope you've enjoyed this
