- 2:33It's, it's been busy. I actually went up to Gloucester
- 2:37to see my old uni friends, which was so much fun.
- 2:42I went to watch the new Wicked movie for good.
- 2:44So last year we did the same thing.
- 2:47Yeah, last year we watched the first one and we promised that
- 2:50we would not see it with anyone else.
- 2:51So I went all the way back up there nearly off 4 hour drive
- 2:54just to go to the cinema with my best friend so I know it was so
- 2:58good. Have you seen the movie Nazy
- 3:00Wicked? I haven't.
- 3:03Do not shout at me. I have not seen it.
- 3:05I promise we won't shout at you, but we are musical theatre
- 3:08girlies so we do like to sort of slide that in every now and
- 3:11again. So if you get a chance, do watch
- 3:14it. It is very, very good.
- 3:16But yeah, that was that was it. I did some more placements in
- 3:18schools last week, which was super fun, and then came down
- 3:21with an absolutely stinking cold over this week.
- 3:24So yeah, it's been fun. What about you?
- 3:25What you've been up to? Sounds really fun.
- 3:26Exciting it has. I've actually had a really busy,
- 3:31well, it feels busy. I feel like I say that every
- 3:33week. I say, oh, it feels like my
- 3:35week's been busy. Lots of work this weekend,
- 3:39though. This weekend just come as a
- 3:41military operation for me from 7:00 AM to 1:00 AM.
- 3:45One AM, 1:00 PM. I was Christmas evening one.
- 3:48AM are you alright? Yeah, 7:00 AM to 1:00 PM I went
- 3:54Christmas shopping. I've got like I want to say 90%
- 3:57of my girls sorted now. Nice.
- 3:59And then three till 6 I went to a drag bottomless branch which
- 4:05was phenomenal. Can I just?
- 4:07Say, absolutely brilliant. I've seen bottomless branches
- 4:10before. I don't know about about you
- 4:12Nazy, but I have seen them before.
- 4:14Never seen a drag bottomless. Branch.
- 4:17Oh, it was so good. No, can I tell you they were not
- 4:22shy on the bottomless part? I don't know how they made any
- 4:27money because I'm I'd never had an empty glass.
- 4:30They just were leaving bottles on the table.
- 4:33I'll let you into a little secret Nazi as well.
- 4:36Drunk Shannon is my favourite. Shannon, do you know?
- 4:41The girls I were with, one of them, Gemma, I've been friends
- 4:44with her for seven years and she was like, Oh my God, I've never
- 4:46seen you like this, Shannon. And I was like, it's because I'm
- 4:49happy. So, so my favourite, I've got 2
- 4:54favourite Shannons right? Lazy.
- 4:56It's drunk Shannon and it's barrier Shannon and I, I feel
- 5:03like you would really appreciate her, Nazy, because you're also a
- 5:05barrier girl, right? Yes, I am.
- 5:08Of course. No other way.
- 5:11No other way. Although Shannon, I did, I did
- 5:13learn from Nazy that she's a 4:00 AM and we're a 7:00 AM.
- 5:16Uh, so she's already beat us to it.
- 5:19We have done 6:00 AM before. We did 6.
- 5:22AM the mug The mug Busted. Busted.
- 5:26Before it's going the one off. I was going to say is that, is
- 5:30that your earliest? Yeah, what makes you?
- 5:33Want to what makes you want to queue like that early?
- 5:37Is it it? Was it because you knew of like
- 5:39what was going to happen in in the red section and you wanted
- 5:42to be like front and centre barrier or?
- 5:44Yeah, so knowing it was last shelf tour yeah, knowing oh
- 5:49nice. I knew every single person that
- 5:52was going, I swear to God. So I I I knew I needed to be
- 5:56there early if I wanted to be prime Danny red.
- 6:00So half three, I got up. I genuinely.
- 6:05That's great. I don't think I could actually
- 6:07drag myself out of bed that early.
- 6:09I'd like to I could. I know you're good.
- 6:12I will. I'm gonna do it in April for
- 6:14Youngblood because I feel like I have to be at the front for him.
- 6:17Otherwise, what's the? Point, you have to be.
- 6:20You have to be at the front for that.
- 6:22Also, when we went to see you meet six.
- 6:24MMM. We were front row but we were
- 6:27like to the side because everyone ran to the middle and
- 6:30we got so. Much and we could also go to the
- 6:32toilet and get back to our spot without being killed.
- 6:35We got so much Josh in our face, it was untrue.
- 6:37Oh, I don't move. I was going to say, Nazy, are
- 6:40you one of those like I'm here and I'm never leaving kind of
- 6:43girls? I don't move either.
- 6:45I don't move. I don't move.
- 6:48I mean, I don't for McFly, I didn't for you.
- 6:50Me at six, I was like, if I need to go, I will go.
- 6:52But I think when it comes, when it comes to McFly, once we're
- 6:55there, Yeah. That was when I was really
- 6:57poorly though. Do you remember?
- 6:59I was so. I'll when you were pregnant,
- 7:01when you were pregnant, you went for busted because you came back
- 7:03in the crowd. You had your arms around you and
- 7:06you're like, this is my rubber ring of safety.
- 7:08Do not touch me. I was like 4 months pregnant.
- 7:11I knew that's very there was no way, actually, I wasn't gonna
- 7:16make it that long. This is my rubber ring of
- 7:18safety. No one touched me.
- 7:20See, my baby actually got to see two gigs before it was born.
- 7:24It I mean she, she is a she. Do you sound like me the way I
- 7:31talk about my children? Obviously it's rubbing off on
- 7:34me. Sorry Shannon.
- 7:34Anyway, I completely interrupted.
- 7:36You were telling us about your amazing drag bottomless brunch,
- 7:39which was amazing. Yeah, it was.
- 7:41It was genuinely phenomenal. And then Sunday I.
- 7:46Not my girl. 'S grandparents it was, it was
- 7:50Sunday. We saw the girl's grandparents
- 7:53went shopping and then they came over again because work's been
- 7:57really tough for me recently. It's like really taken a toll So
- 8:01bless him. Bradley's dad got me a Christmas
- 8:03mug to cheer me up. He turned up at my house and
- 8:08it's this one here it says it says this mug is this is my
- 8:11Christmas movie mug and it's got like candy cane in it and or
- 8:16it's just. And if I know anything about
- 8:19you, it's that you love Christmas and you love a mug.
- 8:22Yeah, that honestly, when he gave it to me, I was like, you
- 8:27don't know how much this means to.
- 8:29I am so happy. I love that.
- 8:33Oh, that sounds good. And I'm glad that cheered you up
- 8:35because you've had a pretty good couple of days, haven't you?
- 8:38At work? Because I'm glad that that
- 8:39cheered you up. Amazing.
- 8:41Good. Well let's move on then.
- 8:43So Nasie, the first thing we usually ask our guests and so
- 8:46you are the 3rd guest on the podcast.

- 8:52Normally we only have people in for.
- 8:53Segments. Oh, OK.
- 8:54Feel honoured about that, I do. Feel honoured.
- 8:58Good. I'm glad.
- 8:59The first thing we ask is the very obvious question, which I'm
- 9:02sure you have a very obvious answer for, and that is are you
- 9:05Team Busted or Team McFly? Team McFly.

- 9:37Have you got reasons like? What is it?
- 9:39What is the? Yeah, why?
- 9:41What is it about the man? He is so fit.
- 9:46I, I can't even, I can't, I can't absolutely prefer he is.
- 9:51I love that so much. Honestly, his vocals are just
- 9:57unreal. Out of this world, I think.
- 9:59I I personally think they're out of this world.
- 10:01They are a completely angry Yeah, love that, love that.
- 10:04And do you know what? How clear was that answer?

- 10:21Hard. I'm going to, you know.
- 10:23Round it up. I'm going to have to say it's.
- 10:26I'm going to have to say the heart never lies only because.
- 10:29Good choice. Danny has has written the lyrics
- 10:33for a tattoo so it's special to me in that.
- 10:37Shannon Shannon has this tattoo on her collarbone.
- 10:42OK, so we're matching, we're matching, we're.
- 10:44Matching. I love that he wrote that for
- 10:47you, though. Shannon unfortunately didn't get
- 10:50it written by Danny Jones, but she, you know, he wrote the
- 10:52songs. That's fine.

- 10:56I love. So really I should I should say
- 10:59that song. Yes, if we're going to be going

- 11:24We need this energy. The passion.
- 11:26Yeah. Favourite member and favourite
- 11:28Busted song please? Right.
- 11:30OK, so all summer I was against this whole tour.
- 11:35Oh. Oh, I was against.
- 11:36I was against even seeing busted, right?
- 11:40First, first we need some. Dramatic music here in the
- 11:44background. 1st. Show.
- 11:46I was honestly stunned. So I love that.
- 11:51My favourite, my favourite is Tour Charlie.
- 11:54My God, is he fit. Isn't running deeply.
- 11:59And easy with your favourite band members.
- 12:02Yes, vocals. Again, the vocals.
- 12:06Yes. Nicely, Yeah, I agree.
- 12:08I agree very. Good, I love that.
- 12:11Did you? So you've never seen Busted live
- 12:13before the tour? Never.
- 12:17Oh that's interesting. So me and Charlie busted before
- 12:22we saw McFly. I would love to have this.
- 12:26I would love for this to have been the first Busted tour.
- 12:30I think it's a very good tour for it to be the first one
- 12:32you've seen. Nah Nah, don't agree.
- 12:35Sorry, sorry but 11 year old me stood at Powder and Castle
- 12:39screaming the top of my lungs with my little beanie boppers
- 12:43and my stripy tights on best days of my life.
- 12:47Oh, of course. But this was like all the best
- 12:50songs. Like if this could have been my
- 12:53first like set list for Busted. It's a brilliant set list of
- 12:58have as your first. I get that I.
- 13:00Get that? I was stunned.
- 13:03What what song? I'd like to ask what your
- 13:06favourite Busted song is and is it one that they played at the
- 13:10tour or is it one that you just know some from sort of albums?
- 13:14So I didn't know. I'm going to be honest, I didn't
- 13:16know any Busted songs. Have you been living?
- 13:21Have you been living under a? I've been living under the McFly
- 13:26rock. I was McFly and that's it.
- 13:28Very true, you know what I mean? Yeah, but are you telling me
- 13:30that you grew up the same time as we did and you never heard
- 13:33what I go to school for? Oh.
- 13:35Of course I heard it, but. But didn't play it myself at
- 13:38home jumping on your bed and kissing the posters like me?
- 13:41Shannon did no. No.
- 13:44Help me. Sorry.
- 13:47OK, All right, we'll let you off.
- 13:48So what was the favourite tour song Man from Busted?
- 13:52Why? OK, OK, interesting because that
- 13:57was. The and I think that's because.
- 13:59Yeah. The medley, yeah.
- 14:01And I think that's because Charlie sings all of it.
- 14:03Or most of it. See, we've had we've had this
- 14:08discussion. We have this discussion quite a
- 14:10lot with like when we do our team busted or team McFly and I
- 14:14am hashtag James Bond forever and Shannon is Matt Willis girl.
- 14:19So you know, we're very much spread out here.
- 14:22And do you know what? I think we're one of them for
- 14:24different reasons. Shannon likes the the bad boy
- 14:28Matt Willis attitude, you know, sexy bass player I.
- 14:38He's like, he's like, you're not thinking it to the world.
- 14:41And I love it. I love that so much.
- 14:43I am very much geeky, nerdy James, future boy born riding in
- 14:49his DeLorean and living on a beach in Cornwall.
- 14:52So, you know, that's me. So not not Why not Tom then?
- 14:57Well I Tom is my favourite McFly member and James is my favourite
- 15:01busted member so they are both like I'm definitely the nerdy
- 15:05girl vibe. 100% I I love, don't get me wrong, I'm not, no
- 15:11nothing. Not saying here that I do not
- 15:14appreciate every ounce of Danny Jones there is in this universe,
- 15:18because I definitely do. I completely agree with all of
- 15:21your choices. I'm just a I'm just I'm a right
- 15:24dork, if I'm completely honest. I'm a complete nerd, was at
- 15:27school, still am now as a as a 30 something year old.
- 15:31So, you know, it's, I think that's what it is, but it's
- 15:33fine. It's all good.
- 15:34Well, we're also. I grew up as AI, grew up as
- 15:37Charlie. I was like, I was the one with
- 15:40the eyebrows was the love of my life.
- 15:42I think he was my first ever like crush as a child, but as I
- 15:47grew up I was like Matt Willis. So he's someone else in every.
- 15:53Anxiety. But it's not even that it's like
- 15:57his attitude, it's just like it's really is like a fuckam
- 16:02attitude. Do you know?
- 16:03I mean, it's like AII just love the fact that he can walk around
- 16:09with his bloody devil horns out and his tongue out still look
- 16:13cool. So up first, this week we've
- 16:18decided to add in a little new segment because you guys loved
- 16:22it so much on our socials. So you may have seen on our
- 16:25Insta stories over the last couple of weeks some this or
- 16:28that posts where we're asking you to choose between two
- 16:31different options, all McFly or Busted related topics.
- 16:35Yeah, so we've asked you to choose between your favourite
- 16:37songs from each band, your favourite members and favourite
- 16:40albums, and we thought in today's episode we'd bring some
- 16:44of those to the table for you to answer.
- 16:46Nazi. The basics are, you say the
- 16:50first thing that pops into your head and what we'll do is we'll
- 16:52have a chat about them after. So we sort of want to answer
- 16:54them very quickly because we want like your gut inside, OK,
- 16:58Does that make sense? Awesome.
- 17:00Yep. Nice.
- 17:01OK, let's do this. Start in simple first.
- 17:04McFly or Busted? McFly.
- 17:07Tom or Dougie? Tom.
- 17:09OK. Motion in the ocean or room on
- 17:11the third floor. Motion in the ocean.
- 17:14Star gal or party girl? Star Girl.
- 17:19I'm so glad you said that. Busted versus McFly Tour or
- 17:22Power to Play Tour? Busted versus McFly Tour.
- 17:26Dougie King of the jungle or Dolly King of the jungle?
- 17:29Danny King of the Jungle. Bubble wrap or Transylvania?
- 17:34Transylvania. Photo with Danny or a hug from
- 17:37Danny A. Hug.
- 17:40I definitely agree. Yeah.
- 17:43That was super quick. Fair photo girl.
- 17:45A little hug while you're having a photo Well.
- 17:48Yeah, at the same time, but if you had to choose, definitely,
- 17:52I'd definitely rather have the mental memory than the photo.
- 17:54Yeah. That was that was super fast.
- 17:57Good job, good answers. Let's have a quick chat about
- 17:59them. Now.
- 18:00Obviously we knew your answer was going to be McFly, so that
- 18:02was not a shock to us at all. We said Tom or Dougie and you
- 18:06said Tom. So your fellow Tom lover over
- 18:08here was mini whooping at that moment, because I am.
- 18:11I know. And I was mini booing because
- 18:12I'm so team Doug. It's untrue.
- 18:14I'm like. I'm like.
- 18:15Right in the middle of a Danny and Doug.
- 18:18I'm a dangy girl. Dangy.
- 18:23Dangy. What do you love about Tom Nazy?
- 18:28Again, fit So so fit. I love you that makes.
- 18:37Me so happy, so fit. You can't argue with them again.
- 18:43Again, the amount of talent that man has.
- 18:46Do you know what I mean? How can that not be attractive?
- 18:48I just don't. I'm real unreal.
- 18:51I think I saw you share a picture I also commented on
- 18:55earlier of them at the Paddington premiere of him in
- 18:59that like velvet suit. Oh God.
- 19:03I'm sure you posted like Tom outfit or something like loads
- 19:07of like I'd literally commented on that post the exact same
- 19:10thing and I was like we're on the same wave.
- 19:15Yeah, I love that. Phenomenal.
- 19:17So good. They all looked absolutely
- 19:20dapper. Motion in the ocean or room on
- 19:22the 3rd floor, you said motion in the ocean.
- 19:24Good, good. You've.
- 19:26Chosen on a whole I would say Motion in the Ocean, but Room on
- 19:33the 3rd Floor has got some of my favourite songs.
- 19:35Yeah, difficult, but I think Motion in the Ocean has no songs
- 19:39that I rate under 5. No, and there's been a couple
- 19:43under 5 so far. They've been different now.
- 19:46Yeah, Shan's brutal with her ratings.
- 19:48Out of 10, Nazi get a song of the week.
- 19:51Yeah, she's had a few that have been.
- 19:54I think it's because as well, we know what's coming with the
- 19:57other songs and the other albums.
- 19:58I feel like she's saving the good numbers.
- 20:01I don't think she thinks that they're actually that bad, but I
- 20:04think she's rating the others really high.
- 20:07Yeah, there are some of my favourite songs on Room on the
- 20:103rd Floor. There are some 10 out of 10s but
- 20:12Motion in the Ocean. They are all non skippable.
- 20:15They are all absolute bangers. Also can.
- 20:19I just say, what's wrong with she's a party girl.
- 20:24I love that. Don't get.
- 20:25I love that. I also love it.
- 20:28I do prefer style. Girl I completely agree with.
- 20:31You However, I did find an amazing video the other day.
- 20:36We were looking for quotes for one of our Busted episodes and I
- 20:39found a quote, I think it was Matt or James, and it was like
- 20:43was it in I can't remember it was a quote channel or was it in
- 20:45one of our games and it said something like.
- 20:48It was my game for you and it was like, no one can make that
- 20:50song sound good. It was Matt.
- 20:52Yeah, Matt. I thought it was Matt.
- 20:54Like he really hates that song. It's so funny.
- 20:57They it's like they all hate it. It's like an ongoing joke that
- 21:02they all just hate that song. They never play it live.
- 21:05Yeah, interesting. But I like it and, you know,
- 21:08definitely been a party girl at one point in my life.
- 21:12Yeah. It's really, it's really good
- 21:14luck, it's really good life. Yeah, I yeah, I think it makes
- 21:18you very, like, hyped up. It's an energetic one, yeah, but
- 21:21then I'm sorry, but nothing beats Star Girl.
- 21:23In my eyes, Star Girl is the winner when it comes to songs.
- 21:27Harry girl can have vampire Harry but does it have the star
- 21:31girl kicks? No it.
- 21:33Doesn't it? Does not.
- 21:35Exactly. Busted versus McFly tour, Power
- 21:38to Play tour. I didn't see the Power to Play
- 21:40tour. I'm so I feel so bad.
- 21:44I'm doing a podcast and I didn't go to the tour.
- 21:45I I feel like I was very absent for that album.
- 21:49I feel like I was really absent. So I went to the Power to Play
- 21:52tour two days after we went to see them at Powderham Castle.
- 21:57So they did 2. They did like the singular
- 22:00shows, didn't they? And then they were doing power
- 22:02to play. So I saw like almost more of a
- 22:04like greatest hits show than a power to.
- 22:07Yeah. On my Power to Play Tour show, I
- 22:10went to Cardiff and I saw them do sound check and it was free
- 22:14at that point because I had the app free.
- 22:17And yeah, it was, yeah, it was. You had to pay for the app, but
- 22:25yeah, you got you got entered into a ballot and I won
- 22:29soundcheck tickets and honestly, it's phenomenal.
- 22:33I saw them play Corrupted and my life was changed.
- 22:36Oh my. God that.
- 22:37Would have been, yeah, I've got that videos.
- 22:39Do you know what I can? I'm gonna share that on her
- 22:41Instagram because I have that video on my phone.
- 22:43I'd love to see that. Oh my gosh, Nasie, how many
- 22:46times have you seen them? Have you kept count?
- 22:48Do you know what I I haven't really kept count but like.
- 22:51A ball, a ballpark figure, do you reckon?
- 22:54How many times did you go to this tour?
- 22:56Only eight times. Only 8 times only.
- 23:01That's a lot compared to some people, honestly.
- 23:04I would go if I had the money and I didn't have a toddler.
- 23:07It would be everyone, every single one.
- 23:10I definitely didn't have the money, I just did it.
- 23:13Did any so hand? That's what credit cards are
- 23:15for. Literally.
- 23:18Thank you so much for playing our this or that game, Nasie.
- 23:21And to those of you listening at home, remember you can play
- 23:23along with this or that in our Instagram highlights.
- 23:26There are lots of shareables for you to use on your stories.
- 23:31It's time for Quote Corner. So this is a section of the show
- 23:35where we find quotes from the band and then discuss.
- 23:38And this week, we're going with a bit of a theme.
- 23:40All of our quotes are from the one, the only, Mr Danny Jones.
- 23:44Nasie, as you are our special guest this week, would you like
- 23:46to share your quote first? Yes, so we've seen a lot of
- 23:52bands come and go in our time, and the reasons why is probably
- 23:56because they haven't had people like us writing for them.
- 24:00Ha ha ha ha. And do you know what?
- 24:03When I first heard that, I was crying with laughter.
- 24:07I love. That so good.
- 24:09I also think, can I just say I love that you've, you've also
- 24:11included the ha ha ha ha, because that's what he he said.
- 24:16It wasn't your laughter. That was his.
- 24:17I love that he found himself. Very funny, yeah.
- 24:21I love that though. I actually completely agree.
- 24:23That's probably why they are genius.
- 24:26Aren't they? Yeah.
- 24:27I love that. I suppose that's something you
- 24:29love about him as well, Nazi. I know that you said that he's
- 24:32FIT. Fit also has an amazing voice.
- 24:35But in terms of talent, like being able to write songs and
- 24:39perform them with the energy like he does, I think it's it's
- 24:42just another level, wouldn't you agree?
- 24:44Whilst playing that guitar at that speed like it's
- 24:48unfathomable. I just cannot compute it.
- 24:53No, it doesn't make sense. How?
- 24:55How can you do this as a mere human?
- 24:59Yeah. Absolutely love it whilst.
- 25:01Looking that fit at the same time.
- 25:03Yeah, and I'm not being funny. He's like, is he?
- 25:07He's 40? Is he 40 this year or is he
- 25:10next, next year? Next next year, I mean for 39,
- 25:14but. He makes it look good, he makes
- 25:17it so easy and it's so annoying. They all do So annoying.
- 25:22They are all so relaxed and like happy and just chill on stage,
- 25:26just playing. Around and.
- 25:27Jumping and laughing and like they know all of us are just
- 25:30there screaming our little lungs out at them as well and they're
- 25:33just laughing it up. Oh my goodness.
- 25:36Thank you for sharing your quote, lazy.
- 25:38Love that Shannon, you ready to share yours?
- 25:41Yeah, so I've got a really small quote, but as is the theme with
- 25:46the quotes that I give, it's just very relatable.
- 25:51And he said practise makes perfect, but naps make me happy
- 25:57and I'm not gonna lie. Same.
- 26:03Yeah, gonna lie. Same Danny, same hashtag, same.
- 26:10Yeah, I am. Also.
- 26:11An agreed. I mean, I don't.
- 26:13Meet a nap. Anymore because I have a
- 26:15toddler, but yeah it's fine. It's fine, the OK practise makes
- 26:19perfect, but the idea of naps makes me.
- 26:22Happy thinking about having a nap.
- 26:25Thank you for having a nap, I. Love that my one is also very
- 26:30short and sweet. Yeah, it's, I actually found it
- 26:33whilst scrolling through loads of YouTube shorts.
- 26:37And he's actually talking to Cooper about becoming king of
- 26:41the jungle. And Cooper's asking him
- 26:42questions about like, how, you know, what did you do to become
- 26:46king of the jungle and all this? And it was a really, really cute
- 26:48conversation. And I just loved this very short
- 26:51snippet. He said, you've always got to be
- 26:54yourself and be brave. And I just thought there was so
- 26:58cute little heart flutter in my chest because.
- 27:03Oh, bless her. Not only is he obviously an
- 27:05incredible performer, but he's also a family man and an amazing
- 27:09dad as well, which is something to point out.
- 27:11And despite all the adversity and the media and everything
- 27:15that we've seen him go through, especially this last year, I
- 27:18think he's he's he's handled it very, very well.
- 27:22And he's handled it like, like the man he is.
- 27:25So yeah, I love it, Absolutely love it.
- 27:30Remember when we said on Episode 4 that there was going to be,
- 27:33that was going to be the last tour talk?
- 27:35Well, we were wrong. We keep finding ways to bring it
- 27:37back because we are still so sad that it's all over.
- 27:41So sad. Seeing as we have our wonderful
- 27:44guest today, we thought we'd take the opportunity to find out
- 27:47how much Nazi loved the tour. Go on then Nasie, tell us all
- 27:52about it. How many shows did you go to in
- 27:53total? I think you just told us this
- 27:55tour. You told us how many?
- 27:57And what were your highlights? Favourite moments?
- 28:00Anything you want to share? I think I, I think it was 7 and
- 28:05I originally only booked one just because of the FOMO aspect
- 28:10of it all. And then I went to Wembley.
- 28:14Ever since then I've been addicted.
- 28:16I was addicted. Anything I could get, I would
- 28:18get. You get the adrenaline, don't
- 28:19you like flip? After the toilet, let's.
- 28:21Go again. Yeah, it was so.
- 28:25Good. It's so different to just seeing
- 28:28McFly, you know? Yeah.
- 28:29Yeah, on their own. OK, I would say best venue.
- 28:34It was definitely Nottingham. Nice.
- 28:38Yeah, Security were fantastic. It was amazing.
- 28:41Chill. Is that the one?
- 28:44The barrier. Is that the one where you queued
- 28:47really early? No.
- 28:49So the first Nottingham show that I went to, OK.
- 28:53And are you from up that way? Because me and Shannon are
- 28:55literally, I've said it before, I'll say it again.
- 28:58We're in the toe of the country down here in the Southwest.
- 29:01So we're pretty far away from. Everything.
- 29:04I think that took me like 4 hours to drive there.
- 29:08Wow, fair play to you. To Nottingham.
- 29:11I just wanted to know if the tour was what you were
- 29:14expecting. Like when you thought about the
- 29:16tour when they first announced it.
- 29:19Was it what you expected? No, it it wasn't I I don't
- 29:25really I can't see the verses element.
- 29:28I I still I don't really understand that.
- 29:32No where this is Taylor talk about this.
- 29:35Won the battle. Yeah.
- 29:36Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know.
- 29:37Who's the winner? We.
- 29:38Talked about this before. Yeah, we, we, I'm gonna say
- 29:43this. I loved the tour.
- 29:45That's like my little disclaimer.
- 29:46I thought it was one of the best tours I've been to.
- 29:49However, I had a vision in my head that never came to light.
- 29:57There was no this or that. There was no this versus this.
- 30:02There was no which song is better.
- 30:04There was no battle when they promoted it.
- 30:07I swear there's like a box. The the the promotion is like a
- 30:11boxing ring. Yeah.
- 30:13So where has it gone? I also feel like as well, I
- 30:17think in my head and I completely agree with you, Nosy.
- 30:19I think me and Shannon both agree in that it it wasn't what
- 30:22we were expecting at all. I think I had in my head like we
- 30:26were going to have to almost like vote or choose between.
- 30:30Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like a little bit more
- 30:33attractive or, you know, like with just screaming or cheering
- 30:37or whatever. But I think that they really,
- 30:40they really lacked that element of the verses.
- 30:42And I feel like it was genuinely like a McFly concert and then a
- 30:45Busted concert. And then in the middle they sang
- 30:472 songs that they they did together.
- 30:49And then obviously, like there was the the drum battle, which
- 30:52was great, but you know it. Who won?
- 30:54But they also don't. Have a drama on it.
- 30:57Yeah, it was very much. Who won it?
- 30:59Yeah, the drama at the same time.
- 31:02Together, yeah. And obviously hate your guts.
- 31:05I really enjoyed. I thought that was great.
- 31:07I loved the like Dougie versus Matt thing.
- 31:09It's funny. It was hilarious.
- 31:11And I think in terms of the versus element, that was the
- 31:14highlight that was. The most we got.
- 31:15But I do think that that worked well and I like the 3:00 AM not
- 31:19alone, but again that that was more like a duet.
- 31:21It wasn't really like if a versus I do, I do feel like
- 31:24they. Lost that?
- 31:25Yeah, I do feel like they lost that element, but also I do feel
- 31:29like they were missing James, and I feel like that probably
- 31:32was a massive play in how they performed and what they
- 31:37performed. I think like, like Busted, I
- 31:40think when you've not been a fan of Busted for such a long time
- 31:43as well and you only know them from this tour, you don't know
- 31:46what a massive part of Busted James Bourne is.
- 31:49James Bourne, he, he is the one that brought Busted to life like
- 31:53him and him and Matt met very long time ago and they created
- 31:58the band together. He actually both went to Sylvia
- 32:01Young's acting school or drama school.
- 32:03This is something I learned this week as well.
- 32:06And they they formed this band and then they went to record
- 32:10labels and nobody would sign them and they end up looking for
- 32:13a third member. Then they came across Charlie
- 32:15and then they were signed. So the reason people didn't sign
- 32:18them is because they didn't sort of have that front man energy,
- 32:20Matt and James. Have like.
- 32:23Side man energy but James so much into busted that like
- 32:29without him there it was a massive massive difference.
- 32:33And not saying they didn't do an amazing job, they did fantastic.
- 32:37I think Matt and Charlie did amazing and I think especially
- 32:40considering it was so last minute for them for James not to
- 32:42be there and all that as well. But I genuinely don't think you
- 32:46have seen busted. You've seen Matt and Charlie
- 32:49from Busted. You haven't seen Busted So.
- 32:50If they ever do OK. We've already got a petition
- 32:53going, haven't we, Shan about McFly versus Busted Round 2 with
- 32:57James Bourne when he's better, Because I think I genuinely do
- 33:01think it's. Better with him there might
- 33:03there might have been an aspect of like Tom versus James in the
- 33:06same way that there was. Danny.
- 33:09Yeah, Charlie. Danny, Charlie.
- 33:11Yeah, yeah, yeah. I But still, even with those
- 33:15aspects, I was expecting one band to come on and sing
- 33:20Sleeping with the Lights on, the next band to come on and sing,
- 33:22bubble wrap the next, and then you choose between the two songs
- 33:26one. Band to come on and sing I.
- 33:27Don't know, obviously the next song, you know, and it was like,
- 33:31maybe it's like an audience like doesn't have to be, you know,
- 33:36like on Strictly they do the app, don't they?
- 33:39When Strictly are on tour and then you choose a winner every
- 33:41week. Doesn't have to be that.
- 33:43It could have just been cheering.
- 33:45You got screamed for the loudest, Yeah.
- 33:47Yeah, yeah, 100% agree. Yeah, 100% agree.
- 33:50OK, Nazy, do you want to tell everybody about the towel moment
- 33:54that we all saw? To be honest, it was a shock to
- 33:58me because the last towel I got, I held a sign up so you know,
- 34:06but this, you know, I was just recording him rubbing it on his
- 34:09sweaty body like I do every day. Just wishing, you know, praying
- 34:15he's going to Chuck it to me. And he literally just come to
- 34:18the front of the stage and just said mushy and just chucked it
- 34:22straight down to me. And I was just.
- 34:25Like when I saw the video, the video of your face was the
- 34:29funniest thing. Shannon, I don't know whether
- 34:31you've seen the video, but the video is literally, I don't know
- 34:33whether it's on your phone or somebody else's phone, Nazy.
- 34:36But like the camera just turns to Nazy with this and she just
- 34:39throws it on her face. Yes.
- 34:43It's so good because it's something we would have
- 34:45definitely done 100%. It was my bad sport.
- 34:49I'm just. On my face, On my face, just rub
- 34:52it in. I think that was the moment I
- 34:54thought really, really, really, really believed to myself that
- 34:57we were getting you on the podcast and it was going to be a
- 34:59lot of good time because I knew at that moment that we were the
- 35:02same. We had the same energy when it
- 35:04came to gigs. Yeah.
- 35:06Yeah, I. Have that same on.
- 35:08That so good I love it. Do you know what?
- 35:11I feel like we just become different people.
- 35:13Who the hell are we? We're all your barrier.
- 35:16Yeah. I feel like.
- 35:17Bradley says to me that I'm my true self.
- 35:21Oh yeah, 100%. I completely agree.
- 35:24I completely agree with him. I've seen you, I've seen it,
- 35:26I've seen feral barriers shall. I've seen all shadows over the
- 35:30last 14 years, but I I completely.
- 35:33Agree. Sorry, but don't we?
- 35:35It was fine. It's all good.
- 35:36We let ourselves go, don't we, at barrier.
- 35:38But I love that. I also saw a very fun Instagram
- 35:42video of him physically addressing you in a video today
- 35:45as well. I think it was from October, and
- 35:48he said something like put that on your Instagram, the end of
- 35:52the video. So good, absolutely brilliant.
- 35:56So that comes from a sort of a long standing joke.
- 36:01You know, I've said to him, you share enough of my stories and
- 36:05enough of my content, you may as well just follow me.
- 36:08I said, this is ridiculous. This is ridiculous.
- 36:09Now I was like, you must stalk my page as a joke.
- 36:14Yeah. And he said to me, you know, if
- 36:18you if you keep making funny ones, I'll, I'll follow you.
- 36:21So I kept making them and I kept making them.
- 36:23And he wasn't doing it. He wasn't following me because
- 36:25obviously he loves the game. So when he finally did follow
- 36:28me, I posted it on Instagram, was the first thing I did and I
- 36:31was like, oh, he's followed me, blah blah blah.
- 36:34Yeah, yeah. So I think he's just trying to
- 36:35take the piss out of me. I.
- 36:37Thought it was hilarious the video.
- 36:38He was like, hello, how are you? Hello, so funny.
- 36:45So good. Put that on your Instagram and
- 36:47his face gets like right up in the camera.
- 36:49So funny. I'll have to find it Shannon,
- 36:51for you later because you'll appreciate it.
- 36:54It's so good. And you know what I get?
- 36:56I get what he means by like the whole post funny things and I'll
- 36:59follow you because at the end of the day when you're like a fan
- 37:02account like you are, there's so many fan accounts, especially
- 37:04for Danny there are. Thousands of them.
- 37:06But equally, you want to stand out, you want to be different.
- 37:09You want them to see that you know, you're, you're cheering
- 37:12for them and not just, you know, SAT absolutely sweating over all
- 37:17their videos. Well, this is what I was just I
- 37:19was just about to say Sally Jones.
- 37:22If I was Sally Jones, which I pretend I am all the time, I
- 37:26would probably more likely follow hilarious accounts about
- 37:31me than just people thirsting after me.
- 37:34Literally exactly and that's it. I think it's But it's so hard
- 37:37not to thirst after him. The.
- 37:40Thing is, The thing is, The thing is, he has said that he
- 37:44likes the first video. Well.
- 37:46Of course he does. It's it's.
- 37:49Spurs him on. It makes yes, it spurs no, that,
- 37:53that is what you said. I get it, I get it.
- 37:56I think there is an element to that, though.
- 37:59You're in a band like and then isn't that one of their lyrics?
- 38:03I can't remember what song it is, but I'm in a band so I play
- 38:08the game. I think it's a MC Busted song.
- 38:10Shine, can you remember? And it's such a.
- 38:13Lie and it's not the same because I'm all that.
- 38:18So I play the game. I can't remember what song it
- 38:20is. Icy Red.
- 38:22It's icy. Oh, thank you, darling.
- 38:24Oh, thank you very much. It means it's got theatre train.
- 38:28Hit me up hit hit up my agent Shannon Johns.
- 38:32It's it's off of the Mcbusted deluxe album and it's called Icy
- 38:36Red and it is a very good song. Have you listened to that album,
- 38:39Nazy? No.
- 38:42Oh my gosh, you need to. Wen macbust No, no.
- 38:46Well, I will now. I will now.
- 38:48There's some so such good songs on there.
- 38:51I swear down like, you know, they did what happened to the
- 38:53band? That was a really good, I mean,
- 38:56that was my favourite. It was originally a James Bond
- 38:59song. He wrote it for himself and when
- 39:01he was James, well, he actually wrote it after he left after
- 39:04Busted split up. He used it when he was with Son
- 39:07of Dork, which was another one of his bands, and he'd released
- 39:09it as a solo and then he released it as Busted and it
- 39:12made me so happy. And they actually originally
- 39:14sang it without Charlie, because obviously Charlie didn't go on
- 39:16the Mcbusted tour. So to hear Charlie singing What
- 39:19Happened To Your Band was like a massive thing for us because
- 39:22we'd waited all that time to hear him sing it.
- 39:25And me and Shannon won, but. Also he is what happened to the
- 39:28band so yeah exactly. Love him but bitter at the same
- 39:32time. He is I the reason the song is
- 39:34written. Yeah, exactly.
- 39:36And I think. I didn't know that.
- 39:38I think Shannon, next week we'll go a bit more into Busted Split
- 39:42because I've got some new info and this is a McFly episode and
- 39:45we know that Nasie's McFly girl. So we'll leave Busted where it
- 39:47is. We'll move on.
- 39:49That's a little, that's a little teaser there.
- 39:52You're like, oh, come back for next week.
- 39:53Yeah, come back for next week to hear more about Busted, Split
- 39:56and CC Simpson. Thank you so much, Nasie for
- 39:59telling us all about your tour moments and all of those times
- 40:04that. I know that you've met Danny
- 40:05loads of times and like hearing you say, Oh yeah, he said it's
- 40:08so weird because I've never been like vicinity.
- 40:12That's him. So like to think that you've
- 40:14actually spoken to him in person is is amazing and that you know,
- 40:17you've got that sort of banter relationship and I just.
- 40:19Love my God, Taylor, do you remember the time when we chased
- 40:23the tall bus down the road? It just popped into my hand.
- 40:26That was not. Busted.
- 40:29We chased it. We were 21 years old and I was
- 40:33probably about 3 stone lighter than I am now, so you know I had
- 40:36the energy to chase the toys. Freaking we ran and then he got
- 40:41stuck it. We were like, we're about some
- 40:43around, we realise we're chasing a fucking car and then yeah,
- 40:46they hit traffic guys and we're like fuck, go.
- 40:48We literally liked it and they were all in the window waving
- 40:51and we were just dying outside the bus.
- 40:53Oh, we loved them. It was so, so good with fans as
- 40:56well. Love them.
- 40:57They really are people. That's the problem.
- 40:59It just makes us more obsessed. This week we are revisiting the
- 41:04We Are Family segment. If you're new here, this is a
- 41:08section of the podcast where we talk about the family members of
- 41:10the band and what they have been up to.
- 41:12Now we know we are super heavy on the Fletcher family, who can
- 41:16blame us? But there is no way that we
- 41:18could do this week's episode without talking about the
- 41:21incredible Children in Need performance from Tom and his
- 41:23eldest son Buzz Fletcher, who is only 10 by the way, and their
- 41:28wonderful song Thread of Hope. You say only 10 but like that
- 41:33done that dandelion video feels like it was only.
- 41:37Like a year ago. Oh my God.
- 41:39I. Know how is he 10?
- 41:42I know, crazy. So Pudsy and the Thread of Hope
- 41:46is a story by Tom about a boy named Chai who navigates grief
- 41:51with the help of Pudsy, encountering other children
- 41:55supported by BBC's Children in Need.
- 41:57And this song was actually written for the animation, which
- 42:00is airing on CBBC in December. Yes.
- 42:06I don't know whether, Oh, I imagine you guys have seen it
- 42:09because it's been everywhere. Have you seen the performance
- 42:11Nazi of this song? Yes, I did cry.
- 42:14I. Think about it, because I was
- 42:16literally sobbing. I was.
- 42:19Sobbing. I was sobbing.
- 42:21You could just see the pride in Tom's face.
- 42:23It was just, it was sensational. And I think you're you've hit
- 42:27the nail on the head there. I think that's literally what
- 42:28made me weep because obviously I was so happy to see Buzz like
- 42:31performing. And I know that he's been in
- 42:35like, some he's done some musical things this year as
- 42:37well, which we're going to go on to talk about.
- 42:38But I think just seeing the way Tom was looking at him while he
- 42:42was performing was just, it killed me off.
- 42:44And it literally, yeah, if my child does not end up being a
- 42:49singer, I'm going to be few. Minutes like Buzz.
- 42:53And he's. Just so.
- 42:55He's so grown up and polite and. Literally.
- 42:59And he's hair and he's just so. So cute, I know.
- 43:03So cute. And they all play guitars and
- 43:05they all sing, and I just. Think he's all so talented,
- 43:08Yeah. Exactly This is why we
- 43:10absolutely love the Fletcher family.
- 43:11It's not just like Tom G and their children, it's his sister
- 43:14as well. And like their their whole
- 43:15family is just so full of like talent and just amazing.
- 43:21I'm sorry, I'm Fletcher flapping again.
- 43:25I do this every week. I do this every week.
- 43:27Flapping Wow. I imagine Nazi that Danny Jones
- 43:33takes up most of your time, but do you know much about the
- 43:35Fletcher family? Only from what Tom posts.
- 43:39Obviously, Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so.
- 43:41His his sister Carrie is a massive inspiration for me.
- 43:44Anne Shannon. We met her last year.
- 43:48Last year, last. Year she did a love letters tour
- 43:50which actually toured down in the toe of of England which was
- 43:56great. We actually got to meet her
- 43:57which was so fun. If you haven't listened to our
- 43:59episode where Shannon explains her very awkward encounter with
- 44:02Carrie Hope Fletcher, then please go back a couple of
- 44:04episodes and listen. We just don't know how to speak
- 44:07to celebrities. No, no, no.
- 44:10I think it's me because she was fine.
- 44:13You are fine. I apologise for being ugly.
- 44:17And there we go. Excuse.
- 44:18Me. She literally.
- 44:20Mean, yeah. She literally met Harry, Hugh
- 44:22Fletcher, and the first thing she said to her, I'm sorry about
- 44:25the way I look. I've been crying all night.
- 44:28Oh no. And then didn't say anything
- 44:31else. Yeah, knew she.
- 44:33Yeah, because she said What are you talking about?
- 44:35You're beautiful. And I just, I was like, I can't,
- 44:37I can't speak because I'm just going to make it worse.
- 44:41What am I gonna do, stand here and have an argument with
- 44:43Carrie? Hope Fletcher?
- 44:44Yes, I. Am really?
- 44:48Oh dear. But we are massive, massive fans
- 44:50of Carrie and also fans of Giovanna because we both read
- 44:53Giovanna's books and Carrie. OK, Yeah.
- 44:55So we are big Fletcher family flappers.
- 44:59That's the new name for it, Shannon.
- 45:02So you probably don't know, but Buzz, Buzz Fletcher was also
- 45:05playing Control in Starlight Express this year from January
- 45:10to August, which is a musical where they perform on roller
- 45:14skates. Have you heard of that Nazi?
- 45:16I have seen clips, obviously, because Tom's posted them, yeah.
- 45:21Amazing, such a good he. Looked really good in that as
- 45:24well. Oh.
- 45:24My God, he was so cute and I was just watching like some snips of
- 45:28him online. But there there's barely
- 45:30anything online because obviously it's a show that you
- 45:32have to pay to go and watch and you don't like, you don't take
- 45:35videos at the theatre like you do at a concert.
- 45:38So there's. Nothing about it but.
- 45:40So we just wanted to do a little we are family part for Buzz and
- 45:43a big shout out to him and all of the amazing things that he's
- 45:46doing at the moment. Well done Buzz, we are so proud
- 45:48of you, even though you're so. We love you.
- 45:51You were so tiny and now you're 10 already.
- 45:53How has that happened? It is time.
- 45:57Time just flies so fast isn't it?
- 45:59Watching all their children grow up.
- 46:00I remember like literally seeing Cooper as like a baby and now
- 46:03he's like what is he like 6 now 6 insane.
- 46:06Yeah, he's he's the same year as Autumn, so I think 7.
- 46:10Yeah, yeah. Seven.
- 46:11Yeah. Insane, absolutely insane how
- 46:14time flies so fast. It's time.
- 46:19The song of the week. Woohoo.
- 46:22OK, that was great. I think every time we have a
- 46:23guest, we're going to have to get to introduce this section.
- 46:26It's definitely going to be a theme.
- 46:28OK, so this week's Song of the Week is that girl, and we are
- 46:32psyched about it. This is the fourth song on
- 46:42Mcfly's debut album. I think it did pretty well in
- 46:45the charts actually, didn't it? Really well, however.
- 46:49It. Didn't do as well as the other
- 46:52songs that they had released. This one, I think it actually
- 46:55charted at #3 yes, it didn't. It was the only, it was the very
- 47:00first single that they had that didn't reach #1 It peaked at #3
- 47:04in the UK. It was actually written by Tom
- 47:07and James Bourne. Just throwing that in there.
- 47:10Nazy Nazy for the day to renew. James Bourne from from day Dot
- 47:16writing songs with our with our boy Tom Fletcher.
- 47:19I don't know about you girls, but I genuinely spent the
- 47:21majority of my teens pretending that this song was written about
- 47:23me. Yeah, Oh yeah, yeah, this is.
- 47:27So it surprises me that this wasn't.
- 47:29It surprises me that this was the the lowest charting song
- 47:33because it's probably my highest I.
- 47:37Love it so much. I'm so sad that, I mean, it
- 47:40wasn't a low ranking song, it peaked at #3 so you know, a
- 47:44massive, massive. Song.
- 47:46It just didn't reach #1 like the other ones did.
- 47:48So that was why it was more of like a, a lower sort of thing.
- 47:52What we do in AZ each week is we give our ratings out of 10 for
- 47:55the song. And then we talk about a few
- 47:57things that we liked or disliked about the song.
- 47:59And then we sort of go in to talk about it a bit more in
- 48:02detail. So we're going to come to you
- 48:04first. Would you like to give me your
- 48:05rating out of 10? Pen that girl please, and tell
- 48:08me what you like about it. Rating I will have to say
- 48:12because it's quite Danny heavy. So it's it's, it's an 8.
- 48:16It's an 8. I love that.
- 48:18That's a good. Because I love, I'm loving, I'm
- 48:21loving his, his guitar solo, you know?
- 48:23Oh. Yes.
- 48:25Oh yeah. I love that.
- 48:27OK, so perfect. Anything else that you love
- 48:31about it? Oh, of course, he looks fit when
- 48:33he's singing it. I can't even describe to you, do
- 48:37you? Know what I'm going to do for
- 48:39the for the advertising of this episode I'm just going to click
- 48:42and cut every time you've said Danny is fit throughout this
- 48:45episode and. Just yeah fit together we're.
- 48:46Just turning into a drinking game.
- 48:48Yeah, drinking game. Yeah.
- 48:50Every time we say someone's fit, we have to have a shot.
- 48:54I'd be so drunk. This is the song.
- 48:56This is the song where he's his. His hand movement is so quick on
- 49:00that guitar, it really makes you quite jealous.
- 49:02Oh. My God, let's stop.
- 49:05Best stop. Remember the beginning of the
- 49:08episode when I said we may get bit feral?
- 49:12I think. I think, Nazy, you are notorious
- 49:15for the videos that you've passed on tour.
- 49:17I am absolutely besotted with them.
- 49:20I spend the majority of my time on Instagram is on your page,
- 49:24just watching all of these videos over and over again.
- 49:26And the majority of them are just Danny playing his guitar
- 49:29and you just zooming in on his hands.
- 49:31Yes, yes, I've never wanted to be a guitar more.
- 49:39Absolutely love it. OK, so 8 out of 10 for you,
- 49:42Shan. What do you reckon?
- 49:43What's your rating? Well, I'm going to shock you.
- 49:46Oh yeah, it's an 8. It's an 8 out of 10.
- 49:50Beautifully. Fine.
- 49:51You got one. Shannon has been low rating for
- 49:54so long. We got, I think we got, didn't
- 49:57we get a nine last week for Britney?
- 50:00We got a 10 for Britney. Oh, we got a 10 of Britney.
- 50:03OK. So it's not quite up there for
- 50:05Britney, but it is good. No that Girl is 1 is my
- 50:09favourite single from the album. I love the music video.
- 50:15I love the bit where he sings about pulling down his trousers.
- 50:19I love the the guitar bit in the video with his straight hair and
- 50:25all the all the like the dust from the roof falling all over
- 50:29it. Like I just there was a time in
- 50:32my life when this song and this video was my Bible.
- 50:37Oh yes, 100. No, I agree.
- 50:38I totally agree. Yeah, it was my.
- 50:41Favourite single? I'm going to completely agree
- 50:44and give an 8 as well. So look at that eights across.
- 50:46The board, across the board. Can I tell you that my favourite
- 50:49bit is actually not in the single, the radio release, it's
- 50:53in the video. And it's when Tom does the hay
- 50:56waiter, because I'm off to speak to her on the speaker, on the
- 51:00speakerphone, just dancing in the office.
- 51:08I just think it's so Tom, it's just brilliant.
- 51:11But yeah, it didn't reach #1 And actually, while I was
- 51:14researching this song, I found a forum from 2004 with some user
- 51:18review comments. And it was actually quite a
- 51:21mixed bag of comments for this song.
- 51:23There were some that were like, really loved it, and there were
- 51:26some that weren't so good. So what I thought was we'd read
- 51:29a few of them out and then see sort of like, if we agree or,
- 51:32you know, if we're very, very upset.
- 51:34The first one was by Frankie, who was 13, who was 13 when this
- 51:39one came out. Because it was.
- 51:40I was going to say that or at the time, yeah.
- 51:42Yeah, yeah. So Frankie's, you know,
- 51:44definitely older than us from Chester.
- 51:47It's quite good, but a bit samey.
- 51:50Oh, OK. OK, all right, Frankie, but.
- 51:52You know, that's all catchy. Suns are also a.
- 51:55Song, they have to have that structure so, you know, delete
- 51:58it. Let's move on to the next one.
- 52:00Shan can move to the next one. Yes, so Sarah, 11, from the West
- 52:07Midlands, Midlands, Midlands, said.
- 52:13I think the song is wicked. It shows their Beach Boys side,
- 52:17Beach Boys side. A totally awesome beach tune
- 52:20spelt CHOON tune tune 2. Brilliant.
- 52:26Sarah 11. Thank you very much.
- 52:29Yeah. Love that.
- 52:30Beach Boys 100% Yeah. The next one is.
- 52:35It's amazing. So cheery and happy, even with
- 52:38the sad ending. A hit five out of five.
- 52:41I guess what Malachi, 14, from Bedfordshire is saying here is
- 52:45that he didn't get the girl in the end.
- 52:47So that's why it's. Oh.
- 52:48OK. Yeah, Yeah.
- 52:49I think that's yeah, it wasn't. Really a sad ending.
- 52:53No, no, no. I mean, he did get our credit
- 52:56card at the end. Oh yeah, he did.
- 52:59Very true. The next. 1 is pretty much to
- 53:01her, so OK, I'm ready. OK, I got there.
- 53:06So David 12 Cardiff, we're judging you.
- 53:09I got their album first week it came out and I listened to this
- 53:13hundreds of times before it was even out.
- 53:16It's getting boring now. However I can't I can't believe
- 53:21this song is they've chosen to be their first two singles.
- 53:25They were good but there is far better on the album.
- 53:30It should have been surfer babe met this girl and that girl is
- 53:33the first for her singles. Oh my God, David, I agree with
- 53:37you. She takes it back, she takes it
- 53:38back, David, 12, from Cardiff. David, 12, from.
- 53:42Cardiff surfer Babe is a certified banger.
- 53:46Banger, banger. Oh, no, no.
- 53:50Oh no. Absolute skip for me.
- 53:53Surfer Babe 0. My goodness, delete the.
- 53:56Welcome. No, the answer.
- 53:58That's the end of today's podcast, everybody.
- 54:00Thank you very much for joining us.
- 54:04No honestly when they play easy closing night I was like is this
- 54:09a joke you? Oh my goodness.
- 54:12Surfer Babe on the closing night.
- 54:15I'm so sad. I'm so sad.
- 54:17I was so disappointed. I have all the songs.
- 54:21I think it's because I'm from Cornwall and I think that's what
- 54:24it is. I think I'm, I'm, yeah.
- 54:26I feel like I'm a, I've always wanted to be a surfer babe, so.
- 54:30Yeah, also I really like met this girl.
- 54:33Yeah. I don't think I like Met.
- 54:35This girl so good. Yeah.
- 54:37Yeah, it's. I like that so.
- 54:39Good. I think it's better for.
- 54:40Babes so overrated Oh my God. I love it.
- 54:44I think I like that girl. I think I like that girl better
- 54:48than met this girl, I think. That's better for me.
- 54:52Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I.
- 54:54Definitely do. OK.
- 54:56All right, let's move on. Liz.
- 54:58That can we just notice how all of these are children?
- 55:04Next one, Liz, 13, from Swanley. Not impressed I'm afraid.
- 55:09Wow, this girl is definitely not 5th 13.
- 55:11And if she is, she's got a very good vocabulary.
- 55:13McFly can produce great music, they prove that with five
- 55:16colours in her hair. But since then they've gone
- 55:18downhill a bit. This one isn't very catchy.
- 55:20And the girl in the video came back to save her life.
- 55:23Look at her pretending to laugh at Danny.
- 55:24Two out of five from me. Oh my goodness, Liz.
- 55:31Wow, my goodness, crazy. And there are a few others.
- 55:37There's quite a few now. I've got like quite a few
- 55:40underneath. We won't read them all, but
- 55:41there's some most people saying that McFly really talented.
- 55:45The song deserved to be #1 it's a really good song and McFly
- 55:48have come up a level from being Busted wannabes and now to
- 55:51truly. Grow pop rocks me that really
- 55:54upset. PG Busted.
- 55:55Exactly, I don't think they will bust the wannabes.
- 55:58I think they're similar in their style sometimes, but I do think
- 56:01they have like a lot different vibe to Busted I don't think.
- 56:05I will give you the the PGI will give you the PGI would like.
- 56:10I would like to a bit more, a bit more sweary, a bit more a
- 56:15bit. More feral.
- 56:17A bit more feral, yeah. Yeah, I love that.
- 56:20But yeah, most people I'm after that sort of saying that it's
- 56:23it's a feel good song. It's got a bit of a story and
- 56:25the video is great, which moves us on to our next section.
- 56:31This is the section of the podcast where we talk all about
- 56:33the music videos that go along with the song, and this week it
- 56:36is an absolute Oh my God, guys, this video is ridiculous.
- 56:41It's so. Funny.
- 56:42So good. I love it so much.
- 56:44Can we just talk about the angles?
- 56:47I'm sorry, I don't know whether it's something that you've
- 56:49really picked up on because unless you're really looking at
- 56:51it at the beginning, all they do is zoom in and out to their
- 56:54faces and they're like. Yeah.
- 56:57Sidewards angle and upwards angle and downwards.
- 57:00Angle love it. It's very rock'n'roll, it's very
- 57:04naughties. It's very, you know, chaotic I
- 57:07think is the word. Yeah, it's a good word, Yeah.
- 57:10I know we just spoke briefly about the video in the last
- 57:13section, but do you guys have any highlights from the video
- 57:15that you love? I know Shannon, you talked about
- 57:18the trousers hanging down. What about you, Nazi?
- 57:20Yeah, the guitar my. Favourite is when she pulls
- 57:26Danny's overalls off. Oh yes, when he's standing at
- 57:29the car and he's got his, he's got his Dean one underneath.
- 57:33Yeah, when he turns around and he let that bites his bottom lip
- 57:36at the camera. Yes.
- 57:39And his little straight hair across his face.
- 57:43Yeah, I love that straight hair. Love that Shan.
- 57:46Any other sort of major moments from this music video?
- 57:51I just love it. Do you know who I really love in
- 57:52this music? It's very Danny heavy.
- 57:54But do you know who I really love?
- 57:55Dougie Pointer in this music video.
- 57:58He is such a little nuisance. I love him.
- 58:02Can we talk about the armpit fart that he does please?
- 58:05Yeah. He literally is.
- 58:07What I mean? Literally ridiculous.
- 58:10Like they're, they're so strange.
- 58:12All of them in this video, they're just chaotic.
- 58:14Like they're like Dougie's just all over the place.
- 58:16What is Dougie even doing in this video?
- 58:18He's just everywhere. He's living in and out every.
- 58:20Shots. Yeah, literally.
- 58:22I feel like we don't see Harry very much.
- 58:24He's just like loitering in the background most.
- 58:26Of them and I feel sorry for Harry I.
- 58:28Don't know, it's what he does most of the time, isn't it?
- 58:30Loiter in the background. Justice for Harry Judd.
- 58:35Justice for John. The I I think the bit for me was
- 58:39Danny rolling out from under the car.
- 58:43Is it the second verse? Yeah, yeah.
- 58:45He's like the mechanic on the skateboard, like rolling out
- 58:50from under the car. And I just just big shout out
- 58:54for Tom's hair in this video, really, because look at it.
- 58:58It's very I love I I, I love all of their style.
- 59:02In this video, Harry with his. Movie.
- 59:05The mullet. Like the?
- 59:07Mullet. He really sued that mullet.
- 59:09He really? Did sue them, he pulled.
- 59:11Up. Yeah, he, yeah.
- 59:14Maybe we need to do another petition for Harry Judd to bring
- 59:16the mullet back, because now it's back in fashion, I think.
- 59:18He well, he did do. He did do a little one not long
- 59:21ago. Yeah, but then he cut it all.
- 59:23Gone. It was gone.

- 59:27Know. Good enough.
- 59:29I want the full thing. Oh my gosh.
- 59:34Well, I love the music video. I think the music video is one
- 59:37of the main reasons that I love this song.
- 59:38I think it's so energetic, it's so fun.
- 59:41It just gives you. So I will say that this music
- 59:43video, this music video is my favourite so far out of all of
- 59:48the music videos that had come out by this point.
- 59:50Completely agree. Yeah.
- 59:52Completely agree. I think this was the so far.
- 59:54I mean we talked about room on the 3rd floor.
- 59:56The video was just diabolical. What did they do?
- 59:58They kind of Nasie, I don't know what you obviously.
- 1:00:01Literally. It was awful.
- 1:00:03Can you remember the video? Is this when they're like stick?
- 1:00:07They're like, yeah, stuck to the I quite like.

- 1:00:22I'm sorry. I had to do it.
- 1:00:24OK, I'll let you off. Why did you like it?
- 1:00:27I just thought it was different. Yeah, You know, it was a word I
- 1:00:31thought it was. I thought it was so cute with
- 1:00:33that little mouth singing. But.
- 1:00:35Do you but do you think? It matches the song it was.
- 1:00:39It doesn't know the song. No no it doesn't match the song
- 1:00:44at all. But I find that a lot of music
- 1:00:47videos doesn't really match. No, but I.
- 1:00:49Just that girl did match, but quite a lot don't so.
- 1:00:53I know, but I just feel like they.
- 1:00:55Missed. I feel like they missed a huge
- 1:00:57opportunity for that music video.
- 1:00:58I feel like I couldn't really see when they sing that song.
- 1:01:00It's like it's proper tell a story.
- 1:01:02I feel like I've. Seen.
- 1:01:03Them in a really, yeah, they should have.
- 1:01:06Like yeah, they should have. Done.
- 1:01:07What was going on at the time? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:01:09I think it was a very last minute.
- 1:01:10We've got no budget and we're like Shannon said, we're we're
- 1:01:13trending right now and we need to put a video out.
- 1:01:15Let's do something that we can do on a computer.
- 1:01:17Done. Do you know what I mean?
- 1:01:18Yeah. Also something we could
- 1:01:19potentially bring out as much to make a bit more money.

- 1:01:31versions of McFly. Oh dear.
- 1:01:34OK, well, you know, the the music video is not to everyone's
- 1:01:37taste. However, it's very across the
- 1:01:39board. We obviously all loved it.
- 1:01:42I again, I highly rate this song.
