Surfer Babe, Flip Phones & Mermaid Dreams Ep 24 · Galaxy Crashers: The Busted and McFly Podcast

0:10
Hello and welcome. You're listening to Galaxy
0:12
Crashers, The Busted, and McFly podcast.
0:15
The only podcast where the words of Busted and McFly come
0:19
together. Hosted by us 2 mums who peeked
0:22
somewhere between MSN and Myspace.
0:25
I'm Sham. And I'm Day and today we've got
0:29
our usual This or That. This week it's Naughty's Lost
0:32
Movies and for Song of the Week is the ultimate Sunshine bot
0:36
Surfer babe. I'm McFly.
0:38
Oh yeah, this one is all sunshine, surf vibes, and Pure
0:43
Early's McFly chaos. It's playful summary and
0:46
honestly feels like the soundtrack to every naughties
0:49
school movie. Ripping me beach montage, split
0:54
phones, low rise jeans and pretending that you know, living
0:59
in Cornwall or Devon is like living in California because
1:01
we're that cool. Exactly.
1:05
So before we get started, I suppose we should do our usual
1:09
How you been? How's it going?
1:10
How's your week been? I'll let you start because
1:12
mine's been all over the place. My week has been how you would
1:16
imagine the start of an Easter holidays to be.
1:18
Sickness, bugs, drowning in chocolate eggs and becoming
1:21
regulars at the park. I feel like I see the same mums
1:25
at the park and we're all like we're, we all just know, you
1:29
know, we're all looking at each other thinking, oh, you're
1:31
surviving. You're surviving through.
1:33
You've had your third coffee of the day.
1:35
Yeah. Yeah.
1:37
To to be honest, we've been really lucky with the weather
1:40
and plans, have genuinely well and truly been planning.
1:44
I've had every single day so far.
1:46
I think we've been doing something which has been really
1:48
nice. But I will say we're about to
1:50
start Week 2 and I've got no clue what I'm doing now.
1:53
I've done it all. It gets worse.
1:54
I'm all socialised. I don't want to see anyone.
1:57
Yeah, I don't want to see anyone.
1:59
How about you? How's your week been?
2:02
Yeah, it's, it's OK, it's been, it was really nice because my,
2:05
my mum was here, my mum and my stepdad came over from France
2:08
for two weeks, which was really lovely.
2:10
So, and obviously we had our week off the podcast life as
2:14
well, which was a bit weird, not doing all the usual bits and
2:17
bobs, but it was, it was really strange.
2:19
But it's nice to have a little break.
2:21
Yeah, mum was here, which was nice.
2:22
We had like a little bit of help with Molly, which was lovely.
2:25
Just having a lie in every now and again and like for her to,
2:28
you know, offer to take her while I do the washing up rather
2:31
than have a toddler pulling at my legs.
2:33
Yeah, exactly. And obviously it was Easter,
2:35
which was really lovely. So we had a little Easter egg,
2:37
Easter egg hunt on Sunday, which was so nice.
2:41
She really loved it. She had like little Bunny ears
2:43
and like a little pretty dress. I love that.
2:45
A little basket with a Bunny on it.
2:47
And we put, I bought her like the little tiny, like, you know,
2:50
like the Kinder eggs, like the bon bon kind of things.
2:53
I bought her some of those and some little Kinder Bueno eggs
2:56
and I put them inside like plastic shell eggs.
2:59
And then I hid them around the garden.
3:01
And then my mum hid some like, fancy eggs around the garden.
3:04
And so she got the plastic ones and kept the chocolate inside.
3:08
But the fancy one she took in and she was allowed to swap them
3:11
for a bigger egg. So my mum bought some like,
3:15
yeah, like, and she really, really enjoyed it.
3:17
And absolutely, she's such a sweetheart.
3:20
She shared them with everyone. She she came round with her
3:25
basket. She said would you like an egg?
3:27
She's giving everybody. An egg, and it was just so.
3:30
Good. She's only two.
3:32
I just think she's so good at sharing.
3:33
It was so lovely. So we had a nice yeah.
3:35
Then we had a roast, a roast dinner and then yeah, we're on.
3:39
We're actually like late recording this week, aren't we?
3:42
It's Thursday. This we normally record on a
3:43
Monday, but it's a Thursday because I've had a bit of a
3:45
dramatic week with family who are unwell.
3:48
So it's been a little bit here and there, but we're OK.
3:50
We're we're muddling through and it's nice to have our lovely,
3:54
lovely podcast as a bit of a distraction this evening.
3:56
So yeah, it's all good. We're all good.
4:02
It's time for this or that. The part of the show where we
4:05
give each other options and we explain which one we would
4:08
choose and why. Pretty simple.
4:10
You can play along at home as well.
4:11
So this week I'm going to go first because I've got it in my
4:14
head. I want to just get it out,
4:18
actually practise saying this word before we started because.
4:21
I was proud of We Get It Wrong. And I'll probably have people
4:24
tell me that I've done it wrong anyway, but it's fine.
4:26
I've gone with the surfer babe kind of vibe because, you know,
4:31
we've all been in that sort of like, surfery shop where it
4:35
smells like wet suits. Have you been in one of those
4:39
shops where it literally smells like, like wet suits and boards
4:43
And like. Yeah, like the.
4:44
Sea. So I had vivid flashbacks of
4:49
being at school and thinking it was really, really cool to wear
4:52
board shorts. Can you remember?
4:54
Oh, I remember board shorts. So I had a black pair with pink
4:59
writing, hot pink writing down the side, cute.
5:03
And they were Roxy. Can you remember Roxy?
5:06
Yes, I can remember, Roxy. Oh my goodness.
5:10
So now what this is going to? Be my this or that is now Roxy
5:16
board shorts, the ones that come quite far down to your knees,
5:19
but you know they were cool back then.
5:21
Or have they Javiana flip flops. Javiana sounded.
5:29
I think it's right. How I would think I would say it
5:31
so proud of you. Javiana's, You know about the
5:33
little flowers, the flip flops with the flowers and they've got
5:36
like a strap with like an extra little line on.
5:39
They were always really cool. If you were like part of the
5:42
beach gang at school, you always had your Javianas on in the
5:46
summer, so. Do you know what I would say?
5:48
This is really easy for me because have you ever seen me in
5:50
a pair of shorts? Very true.
5:54
I haven't seen you in shorts. I've started.
5:56
Wearing shorts, running, and I'm like, staring to see if anyone's
6:01
around because I'm still so unnatural in them.
6:03
Yeah. So I think I would say flip
6:06
flops. OK, I love it.
6:08
I was. I think that was quite easy for
6:09
me. I was definitely a board shorts
6:12
girl. I loved my board.
6:13
Really. I thought I was so cool and I
6:17
can tell you now. See, I always go.
6:18
I was never cool. Well.
6:21
I thought I was cool, I wasn't cool.
6:23
I will go into this a little bit more later on, but I think it
6:26
made me feel like I was a surfer babe.
6:29
I definitely. OK.
6:31
I have never been and never will be a surfer babe.
6:34
I am a surfer body boarding babe because I don't know how to
6:37
stand up on a boat. I've tried again and again and
6:40
again and I've failed. So I'll be the body boarding
6:43
babe. It's.
6:44
OK, we can do that. Your term.
6:46
So my this or that is very surfer babe themed, but also I
6:52
think it's very Shannon Tay themed more than surfer babe.
6:54
OK, surfer babe themed. OK, so seeing Surfer Babe live
7:01
at the Eden Project, it's like we did.
7:05
It's like we felt so lucky because we were in Cornwall
7:07
watching Surfer Babe or seeing Britney being performed in 2025.
7:13
We never thought that would happen.
7:14
Oh. My God, that's so hard.
7:18
Yeah, that's why I did. That's like my like busted
7:21
versus McFly brain. Yeah, it's going to be like.
7:26
That's what I was thinking. No fighting, no fighting, no
7:30
fucking fighting, no. Fucking fighting what's
7:32
happening? In my brain right now.
7:35
It was. So do you know what?
7:38
And it's for only this reason. Seeing Brittany was summing out
7:43
seeing Charlie with his Brittany wife beater on was so good.
7:47
Yeah, there was there was no James.
7:49
So it just wasn't the same. So I think, Oh, OK, James had
7:54
have been there. I think that would have that
7:58
probably would have won because it's just been so long since
8:00
I've heard that song. However, surfer babe's top tier
8:05
is God tier for me surfer. But I love surfer babe and you
8:08
know what? I know there are so many people
8:10
that don't like this song and I'm just.
8:12
Like, well, actually you've fully insulted me because my
8:18
reason was surfer babe as well, but my reason was because you
8:22
weren't with me when I saw Busted.
8:24
So fuck you, Taylor. Forgot that you weren't there?
8:28
Do. You know what?
8:31
Because we started together and it was so nice.
8:33
I know, but Shannon, every McFly concert I've ever been to,
8:36
you've been there, apart from Busted versus McFly.
8:38
So I feel like in my brain, you were there.
8:40
You were there because you're always there.
8:42
All right? McFly are in front of me.
8:43
You're here. Not because I didn't, you know,
8:47
I didn't realise. So sorry, no, it was great.
8:51
It was it was amazing. But yeah, and, and I think the
8:54
vibe of the Eden Project was so good because it's quite like
8:57
it's not a massive, it's an intimate venue, it's not
9:00
massive. It's outdoor as well, which is
9:02
really cool. It was nice and.
9:03
Warm I had a cider you had. I never have chance to like
9:10
wander off and get a drink but it was so it felt really like UN
9:16
relaxed. It felt very relaxed, very
9:20
relaxed by very like no pressure.
9:22
I still was front row. Like I wandered off and got a
9:26
cider and still was front row. Exactly.
9:28
There was no like push. Into and I got a cider because I
9:30
thought, oh, I could potentially go to the toilet, which I've
9:34
never felt like I needed. To go for a week, I can go
9:36
exactly I can remember. I can't remember where we were.
9:40
It was probably you, me at six. But you've definitely done it at
9:42
a McFly gig before. You come back with two pints
9:45
because you don't want to have to go and get the other one.
9:47
That's what I did at the Eden. Project.
9:49
And then you're dancing like this.
9:50
Because when I saw when I saw Youngblood in Wales, they were
10:02
coming round and they had like this flag and they were going
10:04
through the crowd and like the servers were going with this
10:09
flag and the pints were like the size of your head.
10:13
It was like 3 pints in one in one.
10:15
Phenomenal. I didn't have one because I was
10:17
scared to weigh, but the girl in front of me did.
10:20
She like she was having a great time.
10:24
Honestly, if it was easier to have a weigh I'd be all over it,
10:27
but it's not. I can remember when we went to
10:29
Tunes and the Dunes quite a lot 5-6 years ago now.
10:34
Quite a long time ago with Steve, our our mate Steve and
10:39
I've got a picture because Tunes and the Dunes that year did
10:42
stackable cups. So they had it was like a big
10:47
plastic, like a like a pint pint glass but plastic with a handle
10:52
that you could stack. I'm telling you now, I've got a
10:55
picture of Steve and he's got like 6 pints because he's got
10:58
like 3 stacked in this hand and three in the other and he's just
11:01
like. Oh my goodness, that's I love
11:04
that. It went, it was such a good
11:06
photo, it went on the official Tunes in the Dunes page because
11:08
it was just such. A.
11:10
Just had so many peers. He was just like, it's great.
11:15
Yeah. But yeah, I completely, I
11:18
completely agree. I think Surfer Babe is
11:20
definitely, I mean, like I said, if James had been there, that
11:24
probably would have been a really difficult decision for
11:26
me. But yeah, I think, I think we
11:28
have to go. With and if I was there.
11:30
And if you were there, babe, love you.
11:37
It's time for Song of the Week. And this week we're talking
11:41
about Surfer Bay by McFly. Yes, we are.
11:58
This one comes from their debut era and you can really hear
12:02
those surf rock Beach Boys inspired vibes.
12:06
It's all over it. And even the whole like the
12:08
whole album itself obviously Lent Lent Leaned Lent.
12:14
Interesting. I'm a teacher should definitely
12:17
know that. I'm going to go with Leaned
12:20
leaned heavily into that sort of like sunny pop rock vibe.
12:24
We got a lot of that in this album, but I think Surfer Baby
12:28
is just the ultimate sunny pop rock song.
12:32
Oh yeah, definitely. It's so cheeky and fun.
12:34
It's just one of those songs that, like, instantly transports
12:37
you somewhere, like somewhere warm, even if you actually just,
12:41
you know, sat in your kitchen in the UK with a cup of tea.
12:45
Yeah, well, that's where we are most of the time, I suppose.
12:48
It does give you the sense of summer freedom, I think, doesn't
12:51
it? And like, you know, when you're
12:53
younger and, like, you finish school for the summer and you've
12:56
got no responsibilities and you're genuinely most concerned
13:00
with whether or not your crush is going to be at the beach
13:03
later, what you're going to wear?
13:05
Are you going to wear your happy Anna flick?
13:07
Online on MSN. Are you going to wear your happy
13:10
other flip flops or your board shorts or you know what I mean,
13:14
that sort of vibe? Exactly.
13:17
And you know what? Ellie McFly did this really
13:19
well. They captured that like carefree
13:22
teen feeling without even sounding forced.
13:25
Absolutely. And I think it's really
13:26
impossible to listen to this song without, like, feeling
13:28
happy because it makes you feel. Like you're bright and 100%.
13:31
Just smiling all over. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
13:35
This is like McFly in like full sunshine pop mode.
13:38
And it honestly it's, I think it's one of those like
13:42
underrated album tracks that deserves way more love than it
13:45
does get. Absolutely agree with you.
13:49
Shall we crack straight on with the ratings?
13:51
Because I feel like this is going to be a pretty easy song
13:53
of the week section because I know how you feel about this
13:56
song and you know how I feel about.
13:58
Julia, I do love this song. I actually haven't thought about
14:01
my rating. I've not.
14:03
I haven't either. It's on the.
14:04
Spot. Yeah, I normally I like, I think
14:08
about it in like before we record, but I think off the cuff
14:13
I'm going to go 9 it's. A big win from Shan.
14:20
Everybody finally big win from Shan.
14:23
We've got we've got another big, big God tier song for.
14:26
You I told you end of this album is like 10 out of 10 for me.
14:30
Like it's a good. They smash every song.
14:33
Surfer Baby is just one of those songs where it's like there is
14:36
no pressure in this song at all to like, I know I talk about
14:40
like the fact that I love storytelling, but there's no
14:42
pressure behind the storytelling.
14:44
It's so there is like no love story.
14:48
There's no, you know, like cutesy moment.
14:52
There's no deeper meaningful. It is just fun.
14:56
Chill. I love it, I love it.
15:00
And it's so sing alongable. Sing alongable.
15:02
Sing alongable. Sing alongable.
15:04
I love that. That's a really good adjective.
15:06
I'm not sure it's a real go TA. I'm here, I'm here for it.
15:09
Sing alongable. Sing alongable.
15:13
Put it in the. Dictionary.
15:14
I love it. I completely agree.
15:15
What's yours? I'm going to give it a nine.
15:18
I'm going to give it a nine. And do you know what?
15:20
Like I said earlier, I know, I know how many people don't like
15:24
this song. And so many people are like,
15:26
like, I've heard it live and they were like, the hell is this
15:29
rubbish? Yeah.
15:32
Move on over you go to the bar. And.
15:35
I'll be a barrier, absolutely dance in my life away because
15:39
this. Song.
15:41
Just gets it. I'll just I just like does gets
15:43
that that vibe that like energy. It's just got.
15:47
I love it so much. I absolutely love it.
15:48
Feel good. That's what it feels is and like
15:51
I can see us like on a green, like with a see Max and Asani
15:58
with a sun on us, with our kids around us and we could still
16:01
listen to that song around our children and I think genuinely
16:05
they would probably love it as well.
16:07
My daughter would definitely dance to that.
16:08
Actually might might test it tomorrow.
16:11
There we go. Maybe.
16:12
Shut it because in the car she's in her car seat.
16:14
So she can sort of do this, but she doesn't really.
16:16
She does this every now and again, which is quite fun, but
16:20
you can't actually see her dancing.
16:21
So might give that a go this weekend.
16:23
Yeah, definitely 9. I love it.
16:25
I just think it does tell a little bit of a story because it
16:28
is, you know, he's telling a bit of a story, isn't he?
16:31
But I don't feel like it's, like you said, there's no pressure
16:34
behind the story. There's no like, oh, I'm in love
16:36
with you and you know, oh, you've got another man coming
16:40
and all that. Like, it's not.
16:41
It's not about that at all. It's very much like I'm on the
16:44
beach. I just want to date a surfer
16:46
babe. The surfer babes are so cool.
16:48
And. I, like I said earlier, will
16:51
want nothing more than to be a surfer, babe.
16:54
Shannon and I. When I tell you I'll give it a
16:56
good go. I'm no Lucy Donlon.
17:00
I'm no Lucy Donlon. I'd love to be.
17:03
I'm not. I'm really not.
17:06
Hey, hang on. I see the unapproving, you know.
17:10
I saw that. Patronising, are you?
17:15
Sure you're not Lucy Donlon? I thought.
17:17
I thought you were. I thought for those of you that.
17:19
Don't know who she is. By the way, Lisa Colmond was on
17:24
Love Island, Love Island fair amount of time ago and she's a
17:29
surfer from Cornwall. It's the only the only famous
17:31
person pretty much that Cornwall.
17:33
She does the Boston podcast with me apparently.
17:36
Yeah, she totally does. Oh my God, she's a 10 out of 10.
17:39
Fair play to her. She is absolutely stunned.
17:43
I would love nothing more than to be a surf babe, but I can't
17:47
surf and I get, like I said, give it a good go.
17:49
I had surf lessons for a whole summer.
17:53
Proud of you. No, no.
17:57
Oh, proud of you still. Up on my board but fell straight
18:02
off every time. I've got no balance, I've got
18:05
nothing, and then I fell off one day.
18:07
Bambi on water. Like a Bambi on water.
18:09
I fell off one day because a long border literally rode over
18:12
the top of my head and like, it pushed me under the water and it
18:16
was really horrible and scary. And I just haven't really been
18:18
back in the water since. We're not on a board.
18:21
So I'm more than happy on my body board with the kids in the
18:24
break. That's me.
18:32
You know, McFly, if you're into, you know, body boarding babes,
18:37
hey. There we go, I'm your girl, I'm
18:39
your girl. I want to be a body boarding
18:42
babe. I'm not sure I could be classed
18:44
as a babe either anymore because I'm like 33.
18:47
Hey, don't do yourself dirty. Grey hair, you know, had a baby,
18:52
so I'm not sure I've got the wash balls stomach.
18:54
I used to, but I'm still, you know, I could still be a body
18:58
body babe. I can give it a go for you, Tom,
19:00
if you want it, you know, just hit me up, hit me up.
19:03
We can meet on the beach for a body born in sunshine.
19:06
You're sounding a bit feral. Oh, sorry, calm down.
19:10
This is not that kind of broadcast.
19:16
It's Tom Fletcher. Oh, no, I was off.
19:18
I really can't. It's.
19:18
Just it's him and. His chickens.
19:20
It's him and his chickens. It really is.
19:22
That's. That's chickens.
19:23
That's chickens on his golden retriever.
19:30
So we've given you some naughties pop classic songs to
19:33
think about. So we thought this week we would
19:36
bring back one of those classic naughties feel good movies and I
19:39
think it actually goes pretty well with our song of the week
19:42
being Surfer Babe. Oh yeah, this week we are
19:46
talking about the 2006 classic that is Aquamarine.
19:50
Well done, Shannon. Just to let you all know, we had
19:53
three takes of Shannon trying to say that word we ended up with.
19:57
Marine. We end up in bits of laughter,
20:00
so we actually got there in the end.
20:01
Well done Baze. We.
20:02
Got there I'm proud of. Myself so those of you those of
20:06
you that have keep your eyes on our stories on Instagram
20:09
probably remember seeing this probably a couple of weeks ago
20:13
now by the time this comes out I had a little movie night in and
20:16
I was doing the editing for one of the episodes and in the
20:20
background I was watching aquamarine.
20:22
So it was one of those movies that I think we remember quite a
20:28
lot from when we were. I was like a young teenager at
20:31
this time. Like I can remember being
20:33
probably like 14, maybe 1314. And I think we were just about
20:38
the right age. Like literally age.
20:40
It's very teeny. It's very girly.
20:43
I watched it the other day and I was just like, Oh my God, this
20:45
is tragically good. Do you know what I mean?
20:47
Like it's one of those tragically good girls films.
20:50
Absolutely awful. It's brilliant.
20:52
It's so, yeah, it's just great. So it actually was originally a
20:57
book and the movie is loosely based on the book.
21:00
It's not really the same story, but it's loosely based on it.
21:04
It follows the story of 212 year old best friends with they're
21:08
playing 12 year olds. Because in it I don't feel like
21:10
they're 12 year olds. I feel that.
21:11
Like I feel like they're like 15, but they're not.
21:14
Yeah, I think they're definitely older than 12 year olds.
21:17
Yes, played by JoJo and obviously JoJo.
21:22
Last week we talked about JoJo and her song Leave Get Out,
21:25
which is what spurred us into thinking about Aquamarine.
21:28
So it links quite well with last week's episode.
21:31
So it starred JoJo and Emma Roberts from loads of different
21:34
things. If you remember I love Emma
21:36
Roberts, that was one of my favourite movies.
21:38
I used to love Wild Child. Wild child always reminds me of
21:42
you. Yeah, we, we used to watch it
21:45
where we had like little sleepovers at your university
21:47
flat, didn't we? Used to love that, Used to want
21:50
to sleep with love it she was. Also brilliant in American
21:53
Horror. American Horror Story.
21:55
Horror Story? Yes.
21:57
You're a big fan. Of that, I love it, yeah.
22:01
In the live bit of a wuss and I watched Freak Show and it scared
22:04
the living daylights out of me. So I have oh, don't watch the
22:06
Freak show. Yeah, no, it wasn't good.
22:08
Start with murder house. I think you would genuinely love
22:11
Murder House. Well, we've talked about what
22:14
happened. The new Yeah, and apparently the
22:18
what's the other? The one with the Lady Gaga in.
22:22
Oh yeah, yeah, a hotel. Yeah, apparently that's supposed
22:25
to be good as well, so I might, might give it a go.
22:28
We watched now. Witchy try coven.
22:30
Yeah, and we watched Nurse Ratchet and that was quite good.
22:33
I quite enjoyed that. And obviously she's character
22:36
based from that, so we'll give it a go.
22:37
Anyway, back to Aquamarine, very different vibe.
22:41
Completely. Different vibe up there.
22:43
So Emma Roberts, obviously she's been in loads as well.
22:46
And it's also got Sarah Paxton in who is the the main character
22:50
Aquarine. And we also see what's her name,
22:54
Ariel Cabell, who plays Cecilia and she is in quite a lot of
22:58
movies that you might recognise her from, but she was really
23:02
popular from John Tucker Must Die where she plays like a bit
23:05
cheerleader. So good.
23:07
But she's been in loads as well, and she plays like the most
23:10
annoying character in this. But it's really quite funny.
23:13
Yeah. So it follows their story.
23:15
They are facing the and the end of summer and a very big
23:19
separation because Haley is going to be moving to Australia
23:24
with her mum, who's a marine biologist who's got like a new
23:27
job. And she's been, she's sort of
23:29
like been given this amazing opportunity.
23:31
And Haley is like not up for it because she does not want to
23:33
leave her best friend and she just doesn't know how she's
23:35
going to like get away with not going.
23:38
So they actually end up having a sleepover and they do like a
23:42
silly like spell almost. It's like a wish, but they'd
23:47
like do like a chant and stuff. It's quite funny.
23:49
And they wish for the gods to to stop Haley from moving and it
23:55
creates a massive storm. And during the storm, a mermaid
23:59
named Aquamarine washes into the club swimming pool where they
24:02
are staying. So it's a pretty interesting
24:05
start to the story, knowing that there's a mermaid in the swim
24:08
swimming pool outside, which is quite funny.
24:10
But it's very much like that teen drama.
24:13
Like it's the two girls that are like pining over the lifeguard
24:16
boy that's a little bit older than them that they're like
24:19
absolutely besotted with. He's called Raymond, which I
24:22
just think is such a good name. Ohh.
24:24
Raymond. What's a name?
24:28
And when they meet Aquamarine for the first time, she tells
24:33
them that she's run away from an arranged marriage where her her
24:36
father is like arranged a marriage for her and she has to
24:40
prove to him that true love exists within three days to be
24:44
able to avoid marrying this gentleman.
24:46
So she falls in love with Raymond, much to the girl's
24:49
dismay, and they have to try and help her to get him to say that
24:55
he loves Aqua and in return she will grant them a wish.
25:00
And the wish, obviously, would be for her to not have.
25:02
To Oh yeah, for her to not have to move yeah, yeah, yes so.
25:06
It's really lovely because it's got a lot of like friendship
25:10
undertones, which I think is really lovely because it's not
25:12
about love, it's not about like boy love.
25:14
It's about the friendship I. Think that's so like typical of
25:18
that genre of movie at that time where like it's it's Rome.
25:23
It's like a ROM com for kids. So there's not really a huge,
25:28
huge amount of like romance as much as best friend vibe.
25:33
Think Sleepover Club, that kind of vibe.
25:36
Yeah, it was it's very typical of the time for it to end up
25:40
being friendship love. Do you know what I mean?
25:42
Very typical of the time. Exactly.
25:45
So Aquamarine falls in love with Raymond.
25:48
She's trying to get Raymond to say that he loves her.
25:50
But obviously they've only known each other for like a few days
25:52
because they've got 3 days and that's it.
25:54
And that's not a lot of time to convince somebody that.
25:58
Sorry Jack, that's really loud. Sorry.
26:01
Jack's eating a packet of crisps.
26:03
I can hear it in the microphone. Picking it up.
26:06
Are you done, Jack? Oh, bless him.
26:12
Talking in the middle of I I stopped in the middle of a
26:14
sentence as well. Sorry.
26:17
So yeah, Aquamarine falls into the sea from the pier and the
26:23
girls decide to jump in and save her.
26:27
Although Claire's parents actually died at sea, they
26:31
drowned on a boat. So it's really like scary for
26:34
her to be going in the water, but she risks her life to go and
26:36
save her friend. And that's the proves that true
26:40
love is real because they they're like gathered around
26:43
this little boy, like not little boy as in, you know, like the
26:46
boys out at sea, like the floating.
26:47
Boys, Yeah. Yeah, And you know, she says,
26:51
why would you do that for me? You could have died.
26:53
And she says because we love you, Aqua.
26:54
And then then there's a magical rainbow and glitter and it's
26:58
just all very, very beautiful. So it's a lovely, feel good teen
27:03
story. And I just remember it being so
27:06
much fun when I was younger. I just love watching it and it
27:09
made me used to make me really sad because my best friend when
27:12
I was 14, when I was 14, when I was 12, moved to Australia.
27:15
So it made me feel very like, oh.
27:17
My goodness. Yeah, like I wasn't alone.
27:19
And actually they choose to not move that, not to use their
27:22
wish. In the end, they promised to
27:24
stay best friends even though that they're going to move far
27:27
apart because Haley realises that it's a massive thing for
27:30
her mum to have made this big step in her career and it's not
27:33
fair for her to, like, make her not do it just for her sake.
27:36
So it's really, I know it's really lovely.
27:39
Yeah. They all grow up in the end and
27:41
it's beautiful. It's very lovely story.
27:43
But yeah, it's definitely one that will bring back memories
27:46
for a very, very long time. Especially seeing it like the
27:48
cover and like her tail and it's just so cute.
27:51
I just love it so good. How amazing as well that like,
27:54
so earlier we found out that it was actually filmed in Australia
27:58
and yeah, she's in the movie. She's supposed to be moving to
28:01
Australia. To Australia, Yeah.
28:03
So it's supposedly set in Florida, but they actually
28:06
filmed it in Queensland, Australia, I imagine just
28:08
because the beaches are, you know, less busy, beautiful on
28:12
certain times of the year. And they are beautiful, yeah.
28:14
But I imagine Florida is like packed all year round, or as I
28:17
measure this, Australia is so vast, isn't it, that there's so
28:20
many places that you could go and not be surrounded by people?
28:23
So yeah, a really good, a really nice, feel good Beachy movie
28:29
that goes pretty well with our song of the week, I think.
28:31
So, yeah. If you guys have seen
28:33
Aquamarine, please let us know what you think of it in the
28:36
comments or send us Adm. Or if you haven't seen it and
28:39
you fancy a feel good teeny girly vibe, then Chuck it on
28:43
because it's on somewhere. I found it online.
28:45
I can't remember where I found it, but I found it online so you
28:48
can watch it from a comfort of your own home.
28:52
But equally, if you have any movies that you think should
28:55
belong in this category, let us know, because we are so open to
29:00
watching early 2000s movies in our spare time.
29:03
Yeah. It's a new hobby of mine just
29:07
going and you know what? My husband's exactly the same.
29:09
We we started looking for like like 90s movies to watch because
29:13
they're just so good. Like the 90's, the 90s and
29:17
naughties were just a great era for films.
29:19
Films have just got so crap recently.
29:22
They're just so rubbish. So we are all here for it.
29:24
So if you've got any recommendations, send them on
29:27
over. OK, welcome back to an old
29:33
segment that hasn't been around for a while.
29:36
Very exciting. It's time for Quote Corner.
29:40
Have you missed saying that? I really have it's.
29:45
Time for quote Corner Corner. Exactly this.
29:49
Like this segment. Just.
29:50
I mean, it does what it says on the tin.
29:52
This is where we bring you a real quote from McFly or Busted
29:55
Universe. Yeah, that's literally what it
29:59
is. So mine this week is a bit deep,
30:02
I'm not going to lie, but it is so freaking cute and it's so
30:07
relevant to us and life. And yeah, it's from Matty Boy
30:10
Willis. Matty boy.
30:12
Love him. I saw this on an On the Mend
30:16
clip a couple of weeks ago. And when we were talking about
30:19
bringing this back, I thought this, I saved it.
30:21
I was like, this is a quote I really want to use and I want to
30:24
use it on our first one back so I don't forget about it.
30:27
Good. Love that because it is in my
30:29
head that good. So yeah, the quote says the
30:33
quote goes like this. My kids have taught me more
30:35
about life than most adults, which is bizarre.
30:39
You know, when I think about it, they've taught me how to slow
30:41
down, which is a massive thing for me.
30:43
They've taught me to listen rather than to try and get my
30:46
point across. They've put me to play and I
30:48
always thought I was quite playful anyway, but they really
30:52
taught me to play. They've taught me to be honest.
30:55
They taught me to be really, really honest and how important
30:58
being honest is because kids see through your ACT, you know, they
31:02
actually see who you really are and they know when you're
31:05
bullshit in when you say, when you're saying something that you
31:08
don't really feel or you know not to be true.
31:11
They can see that shit. They that used to scare me,
31:14
knowing that they could see, that they could really, really
31:17
see me. But now I think it's helped me
31:20
become more of who I actually want to be.
31:23
It's the best job in the world, It's the most important job in
31:27
the world. But God, it's bloody hard,
31:30
right? Wow, that's great.
31:34
What? A lovely quote.
31:36
It's amazing and so, so true. You don't think about it like,
31:40
until you really think about it. I think as well.
31:42
Like, yeah, being a parent, there's so much to it.
31:45
And I think my little one's obviously really small, but I'm
31:48
still learning those things day by day.
31:50
But that's so lovely. What a wonderful quote.
31:52
I love how he's. I love the.
31:53
Bit where he's like, yeah, Oh, yeah, yeah.
31:56
I love the bit where he's like, he's taught me.
31:59
They've taught me to slow down because that is exact.
32:02
So I find myself all the time. I watched this video once where
32:06
it was like, you're not in a rush like this woman.
32:09
It's it's just a little video where she's telling herself all
32:12
the time, slow down. You're not in a rush.
32:15
This isn't a race and I found myself doing that all the time.
32:20
Like why am I telling my kids off for taking too long to put
32:23
their shoes on when we actually I naturally leave 15 minutes
32:28
early because I know it's going to take us a while.
32:31
So why am I rushing them? And it's so true.
32:33
They really do teach you to slow down the small moments like
32:37
putting your shoes on to like the even bigger moments when
32:40
you're like about their parents evening or you're like watching
32:44
them bond with a friend. Yeah, you know.
32:47
Like they're telling you about a story or they're doing something
32:49
for the first time they haven't done before, trying something
32:51
new. So true.
32:53
I think as well, like it's, it's important to like let kids do
32:58
stuff on their own and like it's really hard to like not like,
33:01
like Molly coddle them. Do you know what I mean?
33:03
Especially when they're really young and I get really nervous
33:06
and like I know my mum and my having my mum here made it
33:09
really, really obvious. Like where I get my anxiety from
33:12
because my mum and my nan both do it.
33:16
They always say be careful, be careful, careful all the time.
33:21
And I find myself doing it with Molly and I'm like, Oh my God, I
33:24
need to cut this out because. My mum does it all the time.
33:27
She's just walking, she's fine. Yeah.
33:30
And it's such a. Profound myself, I found myself
33:34
saying don't worry, she's fine like.
33:36
That's why I. Will jump off things.
33:38
I went out for Dent for a cup of tea earlier with a friend who is
33:42
I'm 32, she's 80 years old. And we went for a cup of tea at
33:47
her house and Arya was jumping off the sofa and she was like Oh
33:51
no, no, no, no, be careful, be careful.
33:53
And I literally had to tell her, look, she has spent her whole
33:57
life being careful and now she's just, yeah, now she's just just
34:03
let her be a kid, Just let her do it.
34:04
And if she feels I've had to learn, she won't do it again.
34:08
And also I think as well like you've got to let them take
34:11
risks like and I think. Yeah.
34:14
Like that's a massive thing, letting them take small,
34:16
obviously not big risks. Like I wouldn't let her like
34:19
climb a ladder. Do you know what I mean?
34:20
Like a big ladder or like jump off a pier or something.
34:23
But like she's jumping off of the side of the sofa into a load
34:27
of cushions on the floor. She's not going to hurt herself.
34:29
She might bump her. No, exactly.
34:31
Bump her knee, but she's not going to hurt herself, like
34:33
badly. There's nothing around that can
34:35
help. I think that I, what I really
34:37
liked about the quote was that they've taught him to play and I
34:40
love that. I think that's so cute.
34:42
And he says, I always thought that I was quite playful anyway,
34:45
but they really taught me to play.
34:46
I love that. Because you don't, as an adult,
34:50
you don't have time to like do things that you love anymore.
34:53
Like it's hard to find time to fit things in.
34:55
You know, like, like even finding time to do this, like we
34:58
have to literally dedicate ourselves like 2 hours once a
35:01
week to be able to do it. And then we have the editing and
35:03
the socials and all the other things that go with it.
35:05
Like it's not, it's not just a quick thing, but we love it.
35:08
And this is like, part of like why we do it is because we
35:11
actually enjoy doing it. It's not, we don't do it for
35:14
money. We're not making any money.
35:16
We're probably, probably spending more money than we are
35:18
anything else, buying microphones and tech and paying
35:20
for clean feed and you know, all these things that we use, like
35:23
we're not, we're not getting anything for it, but like we do
35:25
it because we enjoy it. And that's the most important
35:27
thing. I think that as we grow up, we
35:30
forget to do that, get to have fun.
35:31
I love taking Marley to the park and when I take it to the park
35:34
you better believe I'm getting on the swing like I'm on that
35:38
swing and I'm swinging as high. Pushing possibly go, yeah.
35:41
Oh my God, she loves it. She's going higher, mummy.
35:43
Higher. Like she wants to go higher, you
35:45
know, I think that's lovely. What a lovely quote from Matt
35:47
that, you know, really as parents, we could probably all
35:50
take that on a little bit because I bet a lot of us don't
35:53
don't see that every day. Lush.
35:55
And yes, it is bloody hard, Matt.
35:57
You're right. It's very, very hard.
35:59
But we do it because we love them and because it's the the
36:02
best gift in the world, isn't it?
36:04
So good job, 100%. Mine's mine's actually.
36:08
It is still quite sentimental, quite nice in a very different
36:11
way. It's from Tom.
36:12
I've just, I can't get enough Tom at the moment.
36:14
I don't know what it is. There's just something about
36:16
him. I had a dream about him.
36:18
I can't remember what happened in the dream.
36:20
Yeah, I can't remember. There were chickens in the
36:22
dream. So I think I was probably living
36:23
at his house and there were chickens there.
36:26
Because I know I'm watching all of Giovanna's stories as well,
36:30
and there's lots of chickens in her stories too.
36:32
So I just can't stop thinking about the Fletchers and their
36:34
chickens. So Tom was doing a an interview.
36:40
Well, I wasn't just Tom, They were all doing an interview.
36:41
And the interviewer said to Tom, what moments stand out most from
36:45
your career or what's the most memorable part of being in
36:48
McFly? That was the sort of question
36:50
that came from them. And TomTom said meeting and
36:54
performing with their idols was more memorable than any award
36:59
they have ever won. And he said it's also never an
37:02
award that springs to mind. Whenever people ask us that
37:05
question, it's usually the moments when you're playing to a
37:07
big audience and everyone's singing along and having a great
37:11
time. And I just think that's so cute.
37:13
Like, how lovely is that? Like this man has like, stood in
37:16
front of like the most famous people.
37:18
He's probably partied and had dinner and gone on holiday with,
37:23
you know, the most amazing, fantastic people been on, you
37:26
know, private jets and big, you know, boats and been able to do
37:30
things that we, as, you know, working class people haven't
37:33
been able to do because. Yeah, exactly.
37:36
Because he's got an amazing career and he's done so well for
37:38
himself. But actually for him, the most
37:40
memorable stand out part of his career is standing in front of
37:43
people like us and watching us have a good time.
37:46
I just love that. I think it really it makes you
37:49
realise the kind of people that they are and that's why we love
37:53
McFly so much. They are we made.
37:55
The right people famous. Oh my God, 100%.
37:57
They, they haven't let fame go to their head.
37:59
They haven't gone mad with, you know, they don't wander around
38:03
in flashy things and you know, like they don't spend loads of
38:07
money on stupid things. They have families that they
38:09
love and they care for. They have children, they have
38:11
people around them, they chickens, Dennis, you know, and
38:16
they share their lives with us and I love that they share their
38:18
lives with us. I love watching Tom's stories.
38:21
I love watching G and Carrie and all their stories and like Matt
38:25
and all these things with cabaret and doggies, little, you
38:28
know, non alcoholic drink tours and it's just, you know, Harry
38:32
with his running and Danny with his motorbikes and everything.
38:35
I just love it. I just, I think it's great that
38:37
we get to peek into their lives as actual human beings and not
38:41
just as musicians. And that for them that we, we
38:47
hold or we, yeah, we hold such a big part of their lives in that
38:52
like the best times of their lives is standing in stage, on
38:55
stage in front of people like us.
38:58
You know, we're obviously, we're obviously that much fun, but we
39:02
are better than any celebrity and any yacht, any holiday.
39:05
Well, I say that every day of my life anyway.
39:08
Well, there you go. I just think it's lovely and I
39:10
think it's really humble and makes me feel like, you know,
39:13
he's just such a down to earth kind of guy and I just love them
39:15
for it. I really do.
39:21
Before we close out the episode today, we want to give a little
39:24
mention to the wonderful Mr. James Bourne.
39:26
Those of you that have been following along on his page will
39:28
know that he posted an update on his stories last week which
39:31
explained a little bit about what he's going through and that
39:34
he's still having some issues with his health.
39:37
Absolutely, However, there is hope on the horizon and he will
39:41
be undergoing some treatment that will hopefully improve his
39:44
health and his quality of life. We just want to say that our
39:47
thoughts are with him and we cannot wait for him to be
39:50
recovered so we can see him doing the things that he loves
39:53
the most once again. Absolutely.
39:55
We love you, James. We love you.
