  Hello Ben, welcome to the. Podcast.
• 1:01
  Hello, having me, I feel you know what?
• 1:04
  It feels really weird that we're not on TikTok Live with just you
• 1:07
  as our audience because that happens quite a lot.
• 1:10
  It's been, it's been a few episodes here.
• 1:12
  Yeah, hi. Yeah, it's nice.
• 1:13
  To be here. Yeah, it's nice to see to hear
• 1:16
  your voice rather than be reading your comments.
• 1:18
  So thank you very, very much for joining us.
• 1:20
  We are very excited and we know that you have a lot of very
• 1:23
  strong opinions on people down rating Busted songs.
• 1:26
  So I'm here for you to RIP into Shannon a little bit today.
• 1:30
  Yeah, absolutely. Not just me, not just me.
• 1:34
  So Ben, tell everybody a little bit about yourself.
• 1:37
  When did you discover busted? You know, like sort of the your
• 1:41
  years alongside busted. Tell us a little bit about you.
• 1:45
  I mean, I'm 29, I work in a phone shop.
• 1:48
  That's all the personal stuff that's fun in terms of, yeah, I
• 1:53
  guess we busted. When did I discover them?
• 1:56
  It would have been year 3000 when that was being played on
• 2:00
  the radio and everything. Nice.
• 2:01
  And 2004. Was it 2004?
• 2:06
  Yeah, 3000, the first album, isn't it?
• 2:08
  2003. Yeah, 2. 1002, sorry, I'm
• 2:11
  getting, yeah, it's 2002. I'm getting McFly.
• 2:13
  Sorry, I'm getting my McFly brain.
• 2:15
  It's still in my McFly. First album for McFly is 2004.
• 2:18
  Sorry, I apologise. No, totally silly.
• 2:22
  Guess what team she is? Yeah, fair.
• 2:27
  RIP into it. So you're a big Busted fan.
• 2:30
  We know that already. Do you remember your very first
• 2:33
  Busted concert? I do, it was the 3rd of December
• 2:37
  2004. Wow, the date.
• 2:39
  And it was specific, Yeah, I want to say it was at NEC, if
• 2:43
  that's what it was called at the time in Birmingham.
• 2:45
  Ah. Yes, I remember.
• 2:47
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Amazing.
• 2:50
  I don't Remember Remember it in the sense of the way I can
• 2:53
  obviously remember the song because I was seven years old.
• 2:55
  So I don't remember it in the way that I can remember concerts
• 2:58
  that I've got videos of. But I remember going, I remember
• 3:00
  being excited. I remember vague parts of the
• 3:03
  songs. I remember one of my friends
• 3:05
  being sick, our fave through. So my dad had to go out with
• 3:07
  him. Yeah, so that was cool.
• 3:10
  We got looked after by Stuart. But I do remember it, and I
• 3:13
  remember having a time of my life.
• 3:15
  That's so good. Seven.
• 3:16
  That's. Actually, I love it when you
• 3:17
  think about. I love it when you think about
• 3:20
  gigs now and gigs when you were younger because now you think of
• 3:23
  like the atmosphere and the, you know, the songs and what was a
• 3:27
  set list. But when you think about gigs
• 3:29
  when you were younger, you can just remember the feeling of
• 3:31
  being there. So.
• 3:33
  Exciting full 100. Percent yeah, the excitement and
• 3:36
  yeah, yeah, yeah, I love. That that's also why I tend to
• 3:39
  film it a lot because I don't want to not be able to remember
• 3:42
  it in the way that I remember it now.
• 3:43
  So when I look back at that first concert and even the
• 3:45
  second one that was Peace Can Fly, I remember it.
• 3:48
  I remember the atmosphere, but I don't have like specific
• 3:51
  memories of actual moments. Whereas I look back at these
• 3:55
  videos pretty much every day. So I can actually remember it
• 3:58
  all and I will never forget it. Which is which is fantastic.
• 4:01
  Yeah. And we're so lucky to live in
• 4:03
  that like age where technology is, you know, so good.
• 4:06
  We can do that. Me and Shannon are very like,
• 4:08
  we're very, we find this topic really difficult because we are
• 4:11
  so like in the moment people, aren't we, Shan?
• 4:14
  We're very much like once that it's so hard for us to get our
• 4:17
  phones out when we're at a concert because all we do is
• 4:19
  just jump and scream and hug each other and cry and like just
• 4:23
  having the when we went. To the Ears tour, we looked at
• 4:25
  the setlist before and we were like, right, what songs we want
• 4:27
  filmed and then she would pick a couple of songs and I would pick
• 4:31
  a couple and a plan. It.
• 4:32
  Yeah, we planned it. Yeah.
• 4:33
  I think this is probably what we'll be doing when we go to
• 4:36
  Board Hill, right? Because I'm.
• 4:37
  I don't want to be on my phone and you don't either.
• 4:39
  So we'll be taking in turns to film some content because
• 4:41
  actually Ben, we started the podcast in October and that was
• 4:45
  literally just as we'd both been to.
• 4:47
  Well, I'd been to the Busted Versus McFly tour and I had such
• 4:50
  a good time. I took no videos.
• 4:52
  So I had no content for the podcast at all.
• 4:55
  Nothing 00. And then it was up to me to make
• 4:58
  the content, and I was sat in the ceiling seeing none of my
• 5:01
  videos were very good. Yeah.
• 5:04
  I think mine was the opposite extreme.
• 5:05
  I took far more videos than I should have done, which I'm glad
• 5:08
  about, but again, living in the moment.
• 5:10
  I know it's hard, isn't it, because you do want to live like
• 5:13
  in that moment, but then like you said, you want to have the,
• 5:16
  the videos for memories and stuff and like it's nice to
• 5:19
  share them online. And like that's something that
• 5:20
  now we do a podcast. We're going to have to think a
• 5:22
  bit more about Shannon because when we get too bored here,
• 5:25
  we're going to have to actually plan our content, I think, so we
• 5:27
  can. Post we said that, didn't we?
• 5:28
  We're going to enjoy. We're like we're.
• 5:30
  Going to have to think about both ourselves and the podcast.
• 5:33
  I know. It's so annoying.
• 5:35
  Why have we done this to ourselves?
• 5:37
  We we both me and Shannon both went to the same first busted
• 5:41
  gig and we were both 11 at the time and it was Powder and
• 5:45
  Castle. Yeah, we weren't together.
• 5:46
  We went to the same gig. We didn't even know each other
• 5:48
  back then. So it's really.
• 5:49
  By pure chance. Yeah, by pure chance they played
• 5:52
  one gig and and we were the same 1 so love that for us.
• 5:57
  Very difficult question coming up though.
• 5:59
  Ben favourite member. I mean, at the moment it's Matt,
• 6:04
  but it it could, it changes. It hasn't changed for a while,
• 6:08
  but Oh yeah, over over the last 22 years, or whether it is, it's
• 6:12
  definitely changed multitudinous times, yeah.
• 6:15
  Does it change between all three of them or do you like jump
• 6:18
  between 2:00? Oh yeah, it's switched between
• 6:19
  all three like because for me, James is like the heart have
• 6:23
  busted. Yes, absolutely.
• 6:25
  Charlie is the strong vocals have busted and then man is the
• 6:30
  energy have busted and it just depends on who I focus on in
• 6:35
  terms of the quality they bring across, I guess.
• 6:36
  But it's just the three of them together.
• 6:39
  Is is the magic? That's a really nice way of
• 6:41
  putting it actually, because I think over the years, Shannon,
• 6:43
  we probably would agree with that, wouldn't we, that we
• 6:45
  fluctuated a bit between the three of them.
• 6:47
  But I, I do think I've always been a James Bourne girl through
• 6:50
  and through. I feel like I've gone through my
• 6:52
  Mat stage and my Charlie stage, but I never, ever stopped like
• 6:55
  loving James. James is like my top dog.
• 6:58
  That's exactly me. I think I am a Matt girl.
• 7:01
  Like I think I Matt has been my favourite for the longest but I
• 7:08
  freaking love Charlie Simpson so much that it hurts to not say
• 7:12
  he's my favourite even though I would say Matt is but it trains
• 7:16
  me a little every time I say he's not.
• 7:19
  It's difficult, isn't it? I think now that I've met Matt,
• 7:22
  I think that's going to stick for a long time.
• 7:25
  I don't see it changing. Yeah, unless, unless I meet the
• 7:28
  other two somehow. But yeah, I think I think he's
• 7:31
  winning for long term now, which is.
• 7:33
  A big thing, isn't it? Meeting them, we're going to
• 7:35
  talk a bit more. About that language, so.
• 7:36
  We won't, we won't go into that yet, but I get that.
• 7:39
  OK, so that was it. That was a good question because
• 7:41
  you fluctuate between the three. So there's no specific
• 7:43
  favourite. Have you got a favourite at the
• 7:45
  moment? And you're that person at the
• 7:46
  moment, you think. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
• 7:48
  OK, all right, you're in your mat era.
• 7:50
  Love that. Favourite album is the next
• 7:52
  question. So this is a Tricky 1 favourite
• 7:54
  album. It's, it's such a stereotypical
• 7:59
  answer, but it just is a present for everyone, for me.
• 8:01
  Oh. God, that's the best album.
• 8:05
  So what I will say is I didn't know about the first.
• 8:08
  As much as I'm a big Busted fan, this is going to completely
• 8:11
  contradict it. I didn't know about the first
• 8:12
  album until about 2009. Oh, OK, that's interesting
• 8:16
  because you would have known the songs from it, right?
• 8:18
  I knew about 3 or 4 of the songs from it, so I would have known
• 8:22
  because I didn't really remember the first concert.
• 8:24
  And then I had the Ticket for Everyone DVD, so I knew Britney.
• 8:27
  I knew what I'd go to school for.
• 8:30
  I knew you said no. Yeah, yeah, I knew you should.
• 8:33
  Year 3000 'cause it was. It was probably the one.
• 8:35
  I know it wasn't #1 but it was one they played the most on the
• 8:38
  radio and commercially, yeah. Absolutely.
• 8:40
  Yeah, I will say though, I think I agree to a certain extent that
• 8:44
  I didn't really think the first one existed because in my head
• 8:47
  as a child, both of these albums were just the same album 1.
• 8:50
  Yeah 100% I agree. I completely agree.
• 8:53
  Felt like they morphed into one. They did.
• 8:55
  I struggled. If you were to quiz me, I
• 8:58
  wouldn't be able to tell you which was on.
• 9:00
  Well, I would Now we've done this podcast podcast because
• 9:03
  I've done those episodes, but I probably wouldn't be able to say
• 9:07
  what's on what album between the two before we did this because
• 9:10
  they just merged together. Absolutely.
• 9:12
  I get that 100%. I agree.
• 9:14
  But you're going to say something then, Ben.
• 9:15
  I feel like there was. I was.
• 9:16
  Just going to say I stumbled on it by by pure chance it was in a
• 9:20
  so I knew they had two albums but I stupidly thought 2 albums
• 9:24
  was a present for everyone and a ticket for everyone.
• 9:27
  So we were in and then we were in an ICT lesson.
• 9:30
  I think it must be not year 9 or year 8 maybe.
• 9:33
  And went on music vivo typed in Busted and a song called Losing
• 9:38
  You came up, which I had never heard before.
• 9:41
  And I clicked on it and it even had a music video.
• 9:44
  Couldn't. I listened to it and I thought,
• 9:46
  well, this is really cool, but it does sound old.
• 9:49
  Yeah. And I thought if they're back
• 9:50
  together, I'd surely know about it.
• 9:51
  Yeah. Went home, looked into it more.
• 9:53
  And then I found Dawson's Geek. I found When day turns in
• 9:57
  tonight. I found everything on you but
• 9:58
  that. Must have been amazing for you.
• 10:00
  That's. Something that point it it was
• 10:01
  honest, it was brilliant, Got I. Bet I would have been CD.
• 10:04
  Off eBay, literally. Shan, Can you imagine just
• 10:06
  discovering another McFly album that nobody knew about?
• 10:08
  Like new music for the first time?
• 10:10
  And it's like old I was totally on the bed.
• 10:13
  Yeah, and then we've. Been hearing loser kid for the
• 10:15
  first time and thinking oh this completes what I go to school
• 10:18
  for. It just, it just all came
• 10:19
  together. Amazing.
• 10:21
  Oh, I love that for you. Fair play.
• 10:22
  Absolutely awesome. OK, there's another question.
• 10:25
  Shan, do you want to ask the next couple?
• 10:28
  Yeah, sure. If you could hear one song live
• 10:31
  again for the first time, what would it be?
• 10:34
  It would 100%, it would be over now because it is.
• 10:40
  So it's my favourite Busted song.
• 10:42
  I don't really know why, because it's not one that you'd probably
• 10:44
  think would be, but it just is. I don't know if it's because
• 10:47
  it's halfway through the album. I don't know what it is, but it
• 10:51
  it's always has been my favourite Busted song.
• 10:53
  It always will be. It's a 10 is what it is.
• 10:57
  It's a 10. Yeah, it's definitely.
• 10:59
  A10 but but. They played it at the first
• 11:03
  concert I went to, but I've got no memory of it at all.
• 11:06
  But I know it's on the set list because I've looked back at it.
• 11:09
  So I'd love to be able to hear that and remember it.
• 11:11
  And I've only ever seen them outside of that.
• 11:13
  They they played it at the Royal Albert Hall which I wasn't there
• 11:15
  for, but I've seen the videos right on YouTube and that was
• 11:19
  more of an acoustic version. Amazing.
• 11:21
  Oh, I love that for you. What do you think it is about
• 11:24
  that song that makes you love it so much?
• 11:28
  I don't know really, it's just it's always my favourite song.
• 11:31
  I I think the chorus is very busted sounding.
• 11:34
  Whiny isn't the right word, but like, let me save you.
• 11:38
  I know what you mean. Like the busted wine?
• 11:40
  Yeah. I get it.
• 11:41
  Yeah, the. Busted Wine.
• 11:42
  I like a little instrumental towards the end.
• 11:47
  I like the very ending chorus sounds.
• 11:50
  I'm not sure if it's violins, a background or just a very heavy
• 11:53
  high pitched guitar, but nice. There's a sound to that that I
• 11:55
  really like. Amazing.
• 11:57
  Yeah. It's just always been head and
• 11:58
  shoulders above all the rest of them.
• 12:00
  I love that because that's probably a song that I've that
• 12:02
  is I would consider really underrated because it's not like
• 12:05
  a song that you would hear like a lot of people.
• 12:07
  If you ask people bust to name 10 busted songs, you wouldn't
• 12:09
  say over now, would you? They wouldn't say yeah, exactly
• 12:12
  like stands like us and people that know them really well know
• 12:15
  the song. But you know, not a lot of
• 12:17
  people would. So that's a really, it's a nice
• 12:19
  different answer because I don't think anybody we've asked that
• 12:21
  question to has said that. So that's really nice, No?
• 12:24
  I agree. A nice change, super.
• 12:27
  OK, another one. I agree.
• 12:29
  So what's your favourite Busted music video, would you say?
• 12:33
  Oh. So many to choose from.
• 12:38
  What's my favourite one and. Then you can include the new
• 12:43
  ones as well, I suppose like the newer ones.
• 12:46
  I'm just trying to think because there's a there's a lot of
• 12:48
  videos that I haven't seen that I should have seen.
• 12:50
  I only saw our Hostess a few weeks ago.
• 12:52
  I knew they had a video, I just never watched you.
• 12:54
  Know what they've been like? I feel I'm on the same wave as
• 12:57
  you because I don't often go to YouTube, so I don't often like
• 13:00
  look for a music video. And I do this with McFly, Busted
• 13:04
  and like Taylor Swift even there's so many songs that I've
• 13:07
  heard that I love that I've listened to over 100 times that
• 13:09
  I've never seen the video too. And actually they have a video.
• 13:13
  Do you reckon it's because, like, these days, music channels
• 13:17
  aren't really a huge thing? Yeah.
• 13:19
  I can remember the videos from the first albums.
• 13:23
  Easy. Yeah, I.
• 13:24
  Remember, I remember listening to music on like 4 music.
• 13:28
  I can't remember the channel, but they it'd be a top 20 and
• 13:30
  they'd all have music videos. So I think we've busted it
• 13:33
  because I spend so much time watching videos that I've taken
• 13:37
  and like watching back there concert like Pig can fly, Pig
• 13:41
  can fly, Pigs can fly. I've got a DVD but it's on
• 13:45
  YouTube so it's easier to watch it that way.
• 13:47
  The greatest hits concert that that's on Apple Music.
• 13:51
  So I pay for that, probably to watch out.
• 13:53
  Which sounds ridiculous, but there we go.
• 13:56
  I think my. Actual answer it would be it'd
• 14:02
  be shipwrecked in Atlantis I think, because that was
• 14:03
  definitely just from I. Was literally just about.
• 14:06
  I was just thinking. I was just thinking what my
• 14:09
  favourite video was and that's my favourite video.
• 14:12
  Yeah, I. Love that so much, it is so fun.
• 14:15
  Is it not just the such fun? It's like I imagine them filming
• 14:19
  it. Like when I watch it, I imagine
• 14:21
  them filming it and I think what a sick time they would have had.
• 14:25
  James was just in his happy place, I imagine, and the other
• 14:27
  two have just been living off that.
• 14:29
  See, when I was younger, I remember my mum having a holiday
• 14:33
  magazine like with all the different holidays in like a
• 14:36
  holiday brochure kind of thing. And there's a place called
• 14:39
  Atlantis and it's got this fucking slide that is like a
• 14:42
  proper demon drop slide. And when you go through the
• 14:45
  tunnel it's like a tube and it's underwater full of sharks and
• 14:48
  stuff. And that's the video.
• 14:51
  So when I watch the video, it takes me back to being a kid and
• 14:53
  looking at that in the holiday brochure.
• 14:55
  And I remember saying to my mum so many times I want to go to
• 14:58
  this place. She.
• 15:01
  Never took me. Yeah, so I get that.
• 15:03
  I I'm, I totally I'm in agreement.
• 15:05
  Janan, what's your favourite video?
• 15:06
  I'm I'm intrigued to something we've asked this question.
• 15:09
  No, I think top of my head I have two.
• 15:13
  OK, I like the You're gonna hate us.
• 15:18
  Oh, no, Taylor. Oh, no.
• 15:22
  I like the Thunderbird music video.
• 15:24
  I think it's really nostalgic, but actually I think it's
• 15:30
  probably who's David if I think of.
• 15:34
  Is that the one that is just on the stage?
• 15:36
  Not just on the stage, sorry, but it's it's that video, yeah.
• 15:39
  Yeah, it's like a concert. I can, if I think, if I'm
• 15:42
  thinking at the top of my head of a busted music video, first
• 15:45
  thing that comes to mind is the three of them walking through
• 15:48
  that like tunnel with loads of fans trying to get to them.
• 15:51
  I just think it feels very nostalgic, cute.
• 15:55
  Yeah, it's like not a dramatisation of it.
• 15:57
  It's actually feels like a live, like a real thing.
• 16:00
  Yeah, that's nice. What about that I met?
• 16:02
  Someone that was actually in that music video, it was.
• 16:05
  I don't mean running the band. I mean, yeah, there was a lady
• 16:10
  that was in it. I met her at one of the
• 16:12
  concerts. Does.
• 16:13
  She want to come on the podcast. Potentially.
• 16:16
  Who knows? Your.
• 16:18
  Instagram you can find out give her our.
• 16:20
  Contact details. Love to do that.
• 16:23
  What's it like to be in a busted music video?
• 16:26
  Amazing. OK, I've got another question
• 16:29
  for you. There's so many.
• 16:30
  Honestly, it's so difficult. I mean absolutely favourite deep
• 16:34
  cut to like an emotional Busted song?
• 16:36
  Like what's your favourite emotional busted song?
• 16:38
  It would. Have probably been over an hour
• 16:43
  again, but if I have to give a different answer, yeah go and
• 16:46
  give a different. One if you can.
• 16:50
  To be fair, it's either going to be 3:00 AM or seeking the light
• 16:53
  on. I thought that they're pretty.
• 16:55
  Love that. And I think at the moment, it's
• 16:58
  closer to seeping the light on just because it means so much
• 17:02
  more with with James not being at the tour.
• 17:04
  Yeah. And the way it was sung when he
• 17:06
  wasn't there. Oh.
• 17:07
  My God, that was such an emotional moment for all of the
• 17:09
  fans in the audience it. Was rough.
• 17:10
  I was like. Crying I love.
• 17:13
  What's your favourite deep cut? Taylor. 00 That's so tricky
• 17:20
  because like, you know me, I'm more of I'm I'm not a a deep cut
• 17:25
  busted girl. I'm more of like a like upbeat
• 17:28
  busted girl. But you know what my top busted
• 17:32
  song is? And it's meet you there.
• 17:34
  And it will always be meet you there because meet you there for
• 17:36
  me doesn't sound like a deep cut when you hear the original
• 17:39
  version, but when you hear the Abbey Road version, you cannot
• 17:43
  hear you cannot hear it any other way.
• 17:45
  Like it is 10 out of debt. Like there is just no
• 17:48
  comparison. So yeah, it's meet you there.
• 17:50
  Top, top dog for me always. What about you?
• 17:52
  Oh, sorry, Ben, what are you going to say?
• 17:55
  No, sorry. Go on.
• 17:57
  No, please. Please interrupt if it's about
• 17:59
  meet you there. Sorry.
• 17:59
  Give Shannon time to think. I was going to say, I think that
• 18:03
  song is so embedded now in Busted history because not only
• 18:06
  because it's got it's got the first version, they've got Abbey
• 18:08
  Road version. I'm doing finger counts here and
• 18:10
  no one can see it. So that's unnecessary.
• 18:12
  It's got the greatest hits version.
• 18:14
  And then also just because the comeback video when they
• 18:17
  announced they were coming back was called Meet You There, and
• 18:19
  it was that song in the background.
• 18:21
  I think it's just it's just part of the band in a way that wasn't
• 18:25
  part of the band. Yeah, in a way that it wasn't
• 18:28
  just off the first album. Absolutely, 100% it, it grew on
• 18:32
  me like Meet you, there was a song that like I love back in
• 18:35
  the day when it came out, but I, I think when they, when they did
• 18:38
  the reunion and we heard it a bit more and then obviously I
• 18:41
  heard the Abbey Road version, I was like, this song is top dog.
• 18:44
  Like it's just so beautiful. I love it so much.
• 18:47
  I'm a big, big 3:00 AM girl as well.
• 18:49
  I love 3:00 AM but I wouldn't. It.
• 18:52
  Is a deep cut, but because it's a heavier deep cut, I feel like
• 18:55
  there's so much more energy behind it.
• 18:57
  So I don't often refer to it as a deep cut because I feel like
• 19:00
  I'm head banging at the same time.
• 19:02
  Do you know what I mean? I'm still living off Danny Jones
• 19:05
  singing it though. Yes.
• 19:06
  Oh my God, that was just absolute vibe.
• 19:08
  That wasn't it. What?
• 19:09
  A matter seeing that yeah, for the first time that was unreal.
• 19:13
  Honestly, I'd. Pay to hear that like
• 19:15
  collaboration again and like have it on like Spotify.
• 19:19
  That would just do the best. So good.
• 19:21
  Go on then, Shan, you run out of time.
• 19:23
  Now you've got to tell everyone sorry.
• 19:25
  I want to say, I want to say probably Dawson's geek, if I'm
• 19:28
  honest. Really.
• 19:29
  It's not a deep. I love it.
• 19:35
  You think Dawson's Geek is a deep cut?
• 19:37
  I'd say so. Naming your dog Casey was taking
• 19:41
  things a little too far. I don't think that's considered
• 19:43
  deep cut, but that's OK. I don't scoot them.
• 19:46
  Deep cut just to make sure I know what it means, yeah.
• 19:48
  Emotional, you know, like it like an like, I'm thinking like
• 19:52
  when day comes in tonight, like losing you, like without you.
• 19:55
  Those songs, like, no, I know you're not a fan of those three,
• 19:58
  but you know, surely there's some more.
• 20:02
  Listen, I really like the fast Busted songs.
• 20:06
  I'll meet you there. Britney's a little bit of a deep
• 20:08
  cut. Is it?
• 20:11
  I mean, they're just crying about how much they want to
• 20:14
  touch Brit Britney Spears could be.
• 20:16
  Do you know what? If I had to choose, I would say
• 20:19
  probably 3:00 AM, specifically 3:00 AM, The James Arthur
• 20:23
  version. Oh, I.
• 20:25
  Love 3:00 AM that's. A really good one, to be fair.
• 20:28
  I'm here for that. I'm so here for that.
• 20:30
  I have opinions on the Greatest hits album, so we'll talk about
• 20:33
  that a little bit later. But still, you know, great
• 20:35
  choice for now. OK, I'm going to go for the last
• 20:39
  one then. Oh, actually.
• 20:41
  Oh, there might be two more. First, because I heard you
• 20:43
  mention it earlier, have you ever met any of the boys and can
• 20:46
  you tell us a little bit about when you met them, please?
• 20:50
  Yeah, I am. I went to Cabaret.
• 20:52
  We. Went.
• 20:55
  On Sorry, go on the. Jealousy.
• 20:58
  The damage. Oh, OK, jealousy.
• 21:00
  Deep. Deep rooted jealousy there.
• 21:03
  Yeah, proper. Yeah, so I went to Cabaret.
• 21:08
  I went on a Wednesday, which went there with two
• 21:10
  performances. So we went to the matinee, one
• 21:13
  waited outside stage door and he never came out, which is
• 21:16
  absolutely fine. It's what it is.
• 21:19
  You never know. Well, so then we what do I do?
• 21:24
  No, I went, went for dinner with my friend, went back to
• 21:27
  someone's flat for a while, not just a Random House.
• 21:29
  And we knew, obviously. Yeah, just your typical
• 21:33
  Wednesday and yeah, no judging. And then I was going back home
• 21:38
  that night. So I took a, well, not even a
• 21:42
  detour because it was a 32nd walk from the tube station, but
• 21:45
  I went back to stage doors for the end of the second show.
• 21:49
  And then I got there in time and yeah, I met him.
• 21:52
  I'm so. Jealous.
• 21:53
  That's pretty much. Because.
• 21:57
  That's exactly what we did, Ben. But when we got back there on a
• 22:00
  Wednesday evening, no, he wasn't on.
• 22:02
  He wasn't playing. They had his understudy playing.
• 22:05
  Oh, that's that's just, that's unfair, that is.
• 22:07
  But we. Didn't know because online it
• 22:09
  said that he wasn't playing the Thursday show because he was off
• 22:12
  to do. Was it the Matt Willis and McFly
• 22:15
  thing that they did in Cardiff? I think so.
• 22:17
  It said he wasn't doing the Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
• 22:19
  Sunday shows. But we were like, oh, it's
• 22:21
  Wednesday. So perfect.
• 22:23
  So we waited outside for like ages.
• 22:25
  The guy came out and we were like, oh, we're here to see
• 22:27
  Matt, blah, blah, blah. And then he didn't even say
• 22:29
  anything. The guy.
• 22:30
  And it wasn't until like all the people had come out and there
• 22:32
  was nobody at stage door. And we were just stood there and
• 22:35
  the guy started putting the barrier away.
• 22:37
  And I was like, is Matt not coming out?
• 22:38
  And he was like, oh, we didn't play tonight.
• 22:40
  It was his understudy. And we were like.
• 22:42
  Also, Taylor made-up this elaborate excuses to why we
• 22:46
  didn't have tickets as well because.
• 22:47
  We could not get tickets. We really.
• 22:49
  Thought about him. We couldn't.
• 22:50
  Get tickets. They were so there was literally
• 22:52
  like 3 left for that showing and they were like 140 lbs each and
• 22:57
  they were at the back and we were like we can, we just
• 23:00
  couldn't afford. We were there seeing another
• 23:03
  show as well. We'd come to London to go and
• 23:05
  watch a big show in the last five years at the Palladium,
• 23:09
  which was amazing. So we were like we can tie it
• 23:11
  together because you know, we'll just go and wait and you know.
• 23:14
  So I made-up a big elaborate story about how my cousin had
• 23:18
  the tickets and she'd gone home. So we were waiting to see Matt
• 23:22
  and he didn't even bloody. Come out.
• 23:25
  So yeah, not ideal, but not ideal.
• 23:27
  But it's fine. It's all good, you know?
• 23:29
  But that's an amazing thing. What did you say to him?
• 23:31
  Did you like? What did you say?
• 23:33
  I crumbled into what happened. I don't know that much.
• 23:36
  I got the first thing I said, and I hate myself for this, is
• 23:39
  can I get a photo please? Because I didn't think I'd have
• 23:41
  it in me to say anything else because I just got so nervous so
• 23:44
  quickly. But he asked me what my name was
• 23:47
  and if I enjoyed the show. And I said that I didn't
• 23:49
  actually see this one. I came earlier and you didn't,
• 23:51
  you weren't here. And then he apologised.
• 23:53
  I was like, that wasn't asking you to apologise.
• 23:55
  I'm sorry. Please, please don't think I'm
• 23:57
  annoyed. I'm just glad I got to meet you.
• 23:59
  And then I said to him, I've been a Busted fan my whole life.
• 24:04
  And he asked me if I've been to the Versus tour.
• 24:06
  And I said, yeah, I've been to seven of the shows.
• 24:09
  Brilliant. And then he said he thought he'd
• 24:10
  seen me a couple of times, which was really cool.
• 24:12
  I. Love that.
• 24:15
  And then the rest of it's blah and I took two really bad
• 24:17
  photos. The lighting outside the Kit Kat
• 24:20
  club is it's like blue and red, like the worst lighting ever.
• 24:25
  So bad. Oh, Ben, I love that for you.
• 24:27
  I love that for you. It.
• 24:28
  Was honestly, it's amazing. Yeah, I'll never forget it.
• 24:32
  We. Are I'm always jealous when I
• 24:33
  hear people articulating the way that they talk to celebrities?
• 24:36
  Yeah. Because we we just freeze.
• 24:38
  I overtalk and Shannon undertalks.
• 24:41
  I apologise for being ugly. Yeah, it's the worst.
• 24:45
  It's literally the worst. We just, we haven't worked it
• 24:47
  out yet. We don't know what we're going
• 24:49
  to do if we ever get to meet any of the boys because we're
• 24:50
  literally just stand there shell shocked.
• 24:54
  Next. Time Tom Fletcher and I told him
• 24:56
  he smelled nice. Did he smell nice?
• 25:00
  He did. He did.
• 25:01
  I mean he did. But I, I literally walked in and
• 25:04
  he went, oh, this smells nice. I meant so do you.
• 25:08
  How fucking creepy. I just don't know how to talk to
• 25:12
  celebrity. I wonder if he.
• 25:14
  Remembers because obviously we're barrier for a lot of McFly
• 25:17
  gigs. And I wonder whether he looks at
• 25:18
  Shannon and remembers that moment.
• 25:20
  Probably not, but it would be nice if that was.
• 25:22
  He remembers you. Yeah.
• 25:24
  That's the girl that told me. I I smell good.
• 25:26
  Hey, hey. Shoot your shot, girl.
• 25:28
  Shoot your shot. Shoot your shot.
• 25:31
  I'm gonna. I love it.
• 25:34
  OK, one final question then, Ben, before we move on to our
• 25:37
  this or that section. And this is what keeps you
• 25:40
  coming back to Busted after all of these years.
• 25:44
  It's just superior. I don't know where this whole
• 25:48
  McFly might be better than busted conversation comes from
• 25:51
  because it's just silly question.
• 25:54
  No, no, in all seriousness, it's my.
• 25:57
  It's my. We were talking about it before
• 25:59
  we start recording. That is sort of my style of
• 26:01
  music and I wish I'd got into more of those bands when I was
• 26:04
  younger, but I was. When Busted split up, I just, I
• 26:07
  just only listened to Busted. I just put the CD player in and
• 26:09
  for about 5 years that was it. Left it there.
• 26:12
  But yeah, I don't know. Isn't the word.
• 26:16
  Yeah, well, exactly. They're just, they were just my
• 26:18
  favourite band as a kid and I don't know what it was.
• 26:20
  It might have been the guitar, the guitars, which I think was a
• 26:23
  big thing for a lot of people. Seeing people play live music
• 26:26
  and running around with guitars. Oh my.
• 26:27
  God, yeah, I was talking to my friend about that earlier.
• 26:30
  He's literally my, well, my husband's mate, he was here
• 26:32
  earlier and he was, we were talking about Busted.
• 26:34
  And he said it's they they had a lot of like guitar, like the
• 26:37
  music side of things was massive for a lot of like young boys in
• 26:40
  the day. And that's like a massive thing
• 26:42
  for them. And I never thought of it that
• 26:44
  way because obviously we're girls, Shannon.
• 26:45
  It's we think of it in a different way because we were
• 26:47
  just dreaming about them and like daydreaming over them.
• 26:50
  I think 100. Percent.
• 26:53
  I also think they're like McFly and Busted.
• 26:56
  Probably specifically busted because of the raspiness of JF
• 27:00
  of Matt and Charlie, but they're like the gateway drug into emo
• 27:05
  Oh. Good.
• 27:05
  Yeah, Like, yeah. You think you like pop and then
• 27:09
  you listen to them and you're like fuck, this is so good.
• 27:12
  Oh, maybe. I'll get go a little bit
• 27:14
  heavier. Yeah, yeah.
• 27:16
  I love that absolutely agree. I completely agree.
• 27:19
  Well, we all know what team you're on band.
• 27:21
  We know you're a team busted kind of guy, so that's OK.
• 27:24
  There's no there's no qualms here.
• 27:26
  Like we said that Galaxy crashes is about no rivalry.
• 27:30
  You've got Can I just? Say though.
• 27:31
  Yes. I do have.
• 27:33
  I do actually like McFly. I don't want there to be any
• 27:35
  disillusion. No, I know, but not.
• 27:38
  At all we know you do. Actually I went to McFly in 2005
• 27:42
  as well. I.
• 27:43
  Love that it's a. Wonderland Super.
• 27:46
  That's really. Interesting.
• 27:48
  What a tour. Yes, 100%.
• 27:51
  And we know that you've been to several of the McFly shows this
• 27:55
  year already. So we know that you're a a
• 27:58
  converted McFly fan just making. Do.
• 28:01
  Well, yeah, Busters aren't touring.
• 28:04
  So what? What else can I do?
• 28:06
  Yeah, exactly. Are you?
• 28:07
  Going to anymore? I want to.
• 28:11
  It's just, there's only three left, isn't there?
• 28:13
  It might be 4. Oh my God.
• 28:14
  Come to board, Hill. That's where we're going.
• 28:16
  Come beyond where? Is Board Hill, Hayward?
• 28:18
  Heath. OK.
• 28:20
  Follow up question, where is Hayward Heath?
• 28:24
  See, it's like on the outskirts of London.
• 28:26
  It's on the outskirts of London by the looks of it.
• 28:28
  I mean, we're from like Devon and Cornwall.
• 28:29
  So me doing I do. Remember you saying London?
• 28:32
  Geography you said it'd take. Five hours, yeah.
• 28:34
  It's a 5, it's a 5 1/2 hour drive, so it's pretty far.
• 28:38
  But yeah, it's like just on the outskirts of London.
• 28:42
  There's still tickets. There is still tickets and we've
• 28:44
  got early that 2. Hours for me we've.
• 28:47
  Got early entry as well, Ben, so you know, of course you do.
• 28:49
  It's. Cheaper than normal, yeah.
• 28:51
  That apparently the early, it looked like the early entry
• 28:53
  tickets were cheaper than the normal tickets, which didn't
• 28:55
  make any sense because surely everybody's going to get early
• 28:57
  entry tickets and then there's going to be no early entry
• 29:00
  because everybody's going to be there.
• 29:01
  But you know, it's fine. Strange.
• 29:02
  One for sure, yeah. We'll see how it goes.
• 29:05
  But yeah, if you, if you fancy it, let us know.
• 29:07
  We can meet you in the queue. I generally could, to be fair.
• 29:10
  I'll think about it because it'd be good to do one more.
• 29:13
  Absolutely. But you know, we are, we are
• 29:15
  Team McFly girls, you know that. But like we've talked about this
• 29:18
  before, we all. Make mistakes.
• 29:20
  Takes a deep breath to prepare himself.
• 29:23
  I don't think for me though, like me and Shannon have talked
• 29:26
  about this extensively because obviously we talk all the time
• 29:29
  and how actually the only reason that we think we are Team McFly
• 29:33
  is that they've just had more. We've had more time with them.
• 29:37
  I genuinely think that's what it is.
• 29:39
  I feel like we've had more albums, we've had more shows.
• 29:41
  We had more time to fall in love with McFly when Busted were so
• 29:45
  absent that they just filled the hole that Busted left when they
• 29:48
  broke up. And I feel like that's all it
• 29:50
  is. I think if Busted had remained
• 29:52
  banned I feel like it would be very level pegging, maybe even
• 29:55
  more teen Busted than Team McFly for.
• 29:57
  Me and I just agree that. I know you did, I know you do.
• 30:00
  But I'm a big busted girlie and I really, really was.
• 30:03
  Like always have been. When I think about Busted, I
• 30:07
  think they are 10 out of 10 in my nostalgic category.
• 30:12
  They take me, but they're they have barely any skip songs for
• 30:16
  me because every single song reminds me of a feeling that I
• 30:21
  felt once. Yeah, yeah.
• 30:23
  Yeah. McFly are just my favourite
• 30:27
  band, yeah. There.
• 30:29
  Is no verses for me because it's like versing any other band with
• 30:34
  any other band. Like, I like them both very much
• 30:38
  equally for very different reasons reasons.
• 30:41
  Yeah, 100%. It's a really difficult 1, isn't
• 30:43
  it? I think that's all it is for us.
• 30:44
  But it's nice to have another Team Busted because we've had,
• 30:47
  obviously we had the Busted experience on a few months ago,
• 30:50
  so that was really nice. And then we had we had McFly on
• 30:53
  before that as well. So we have like the other side
• 30:55
  of the tribute bands. So it's really nice to have a
• 30:57
  couple of people that are Team Busted.
• 30:59
  You probably get on really well with my friend Steve Ben because
• 31:02
  he's a big Busted fan. He's more Busted than McFly.
• 31:05
  When we went to Busted versus McFly, he didn't know barely any
• 31:08
  of the McFly songs. He was just literally living for
• 31:11
  Busted. I was amazed by how many McFly
• 31:14
  songs I did know because I don't, I don't know that many,
• 31:18
  but like I think of room on the 3rd floor.
• 31:21
  I know like the first five songs on there like I'm cricket
• 31:25
  broccoli on that album. They always play the same bloody
• 31:27
  ones well. Yeah, which is helpful, but like
• 31:30
  surfer babe, I've never heard that before.
• 31:32
  Broccoli I heard for the first time a couple of months ago.
• 31:34
  Broccoli heard it live. I'd.
• 31:35
  Love to hear broccoli for the first time again so.
• 31:38
  Good. I hope they.
• 31:39
  Keep going. I've never heard.
• 31:41
  I've never heard Not Alone before the verses.
• 31:44
  And Oh my goodness, having listened to it, it's an
• 31:47
  incredible, Yeah, no, fine, but it is an incredible song.
• 31:50
  If that saves me at all, it. Absolutely does.
• 31:53
  Save you. One forever is not enough.
• 31:55
  I hadn't heard that until a year and a half ago.
• 31:57
  Ish. Heart never lies.
• 31:58
  I hadn't heard till about a year ago.
• 32:00
  Oh, the. Heart never lies.
• 32:02
  And now it is one of my it's probably one of my favourite
• 32:05
  McFly songs. Yes, that.
• 32:06
  Song, that song is like my kryptonite, so.
• 32:13
  Good. It's definitely a favourite,
• 32:14
  100% a favourite. I think it's top.
• 32:16
  It's definitely top 2 for me. I can't even think it's my.
• 32:19
  Favourite song? I can't pick style girl because
• 32:21
  Shannon will fucking kill me. I.
• 32:24
  Will kill you. My favourite.
• 32:25
  I would say my top three. Number one would be heart.
• 32:29
  Never lies. Heart never lies.
• 32:31
  Yeah, same. I think mine might be #1 number.
• 32:33
  Two, obviously it would be Ballad of Paul Ki.
• 32:36
  Thought you were going to say #2 obviously.
• 32:38
  And I was about to say what I am.
• 32:39
  No. I am here for Ballad of Paul K
• 32:42
  Love because thank. You it's.
• 32:45
  Probably my favourite song on the one that on the album.
• 32:48
  I don't know why because it's so different.
• 32:50
  It's so different to the rest of them.
• 32:52
  But yeah, it is definitely. My favourite on the car A. 100.
• 32:55
  Percent. I'm bored.
• 32:57
  Shut your shut your face. Up your bum.
• 33:01
  Up your bum not. Again.
• 33:03
  No. No, not again.
• 33:07
  It's time for this or that. So this week, this or that is
• 33:11
  going to be directly aimed at you, Ben.
• 33:15
  OK. We all know we can be a little
• 33:17
  bit tough when it comes to this or that, and this week is
• 33:23
  definitely no exception to that rule, sorry.
• 33:26
  So without further ado and normally we do normally say
• 33:31
  think on your feet and don't don't need to explain it, but we
• 33:34
  always do. So don't panic.
• 33:35
  If you want to explain yourself, that's OK.
• 33:39
  This week's questions very exciting.
• 33:42
  We have actually chosen sort of some McFly and some busted, but
• 33:46
  there versus each other, not sort of like versus the
• 33:48
  opposite, if that makes sense. So it's McFly versus McFly and
• 33:51
  Busted versus the. Hand side no.
• 33:53
  Because we knew that if we put Busted versus McFly, you would
• 33:56
  always choose busted and it would be a very boring miss or
• 33:59
  that. Yeah.
• 34:00
  OK, so we're going to start with McFly, Shine a Light or Star
• 34:05
  Girl. Oh, it's harsh.
• 34:09
  It is hard. That is.
• 34:11
  Not for me it's. Bald and crawl you're.
• 34:14
  Welcome. Ah, this or that's normally our.
• 34:19
  My Shine of Light experience is very much the verses where
• 34:23
  they're all singing it. Yeah, it's.
• 34:25
  So good. But equally amazing when it's
• 34:28
  just for rising in it. Star Girl is my first
• 34:32
  interaction with any of them because Tom stared directly at
• 34:34
  me at one point, which is cool. Love.
• 34:36
  Those moments. She drain the kiss.
• 34:39
  Oh star girl kicks. Oh, he might have done it.
• 34:45
  I was going to say pure song. I think it's Shine a light, but
• 34:47
  I think for the actual live experience of it, I think star
• 34:51
  girl kicks edges it. Yeah, but if you if it's
• 34:54
  Spotify, I would say shine a light.
• 34:56
  If it's yeah, if I'm at a concert, I'm going to go with
• 35:02
  the the other one, Star Girl, Star girl.
• 35:04
  OK, we'll let you off. That's OK.
• 35:05
  I mean, you didn't really do. That again, by the way, No, you
• 35:08
  just, if it's all right, pure, pure song.
• 35:11
  I'll go shine a light, shine a. Light, OK.
• 35:14
  OK, go on. Lush next one.
• 35:16
  She wants to be me or falling for you.
• 35:20
  Falling for you? Oh.
• 35:21
  Yes, Ben. Oh, that was really quick.
• 35:23
  I'm. Here for it because I feel like
• 35:24
  Shannon would be the other one. Are you the other one?
• 35:26
  Shannon I. I am disgustingly 5050.
• 35:30
  Really. They are my favourite big fun
• 35:36
  Busted songs. Falling for falling for you is
• 35:39
  so nostalgic. Takes me back to Cinderella
• 35:41
  Story with Hilary Duff. Every time I hear it I'm like,
• 35:44
  I'm still I'm there again with Chad Michael Murray in the rain.
• 35:47
  So it has double meaning for me. But the she wants to be me bit
• 35:52
  where they're she's pretending to be the nurse.
• 35:55
  Well, I say she isn't it James's voice.
• 35:57
  Yeah, I think. It's James.
• 35:58
  It's. Probably James Killer.
• 36:02
  So good she was. She wants to be me.
• 36:05
  Makes me feel think of like American Pie.
• 36:09
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that for you.
• 36:12
  I put all my favourite present preference songs in order
• 36:15
  earlier and I'm looking back at it now and I've gone with a
• 36:18
  really quick answer there, but they're 11:00 and 12:00 so I'm
• 36:22
  surprised it was that quick. Very close to each other.
• 36:26
  Wow, that's interesting. So that was a good this or that
• 36:29
  choice, Shannon, well done. Good question.
• 36:32
  OK, I've. Heard someone of that as well.
• 36:36
  Next one is Lies versus Transylvania McFly, OH.
• 36:41
  That is, I know why I've done that.
• 36:48
  Well, the no actually the answer is lies.
• 36:51
  Lies, OK. That's the right answer.
• 36:55
  The transition is phenomenal. It's.
• 36:57
  Beautiful. It's very beautiful.
• 36:59
  When they first done it I was like, oh this is absolutely
• 37:02
  sick. Yeah, I've got a.
• 37:04
  Question. Yes.
• 37:06
  What are the leg kicks for? How did that become a thing I.
• 37:10
  Think they just started doing it, didn't they?
• 37:12
  Like a gig? And then they just became
• 37:14
  something that everybody loved and people were just reposting
• 37:16
  and reposting it, so they just kept doing it.
• 37:19
  I don't think there's any mean. There's no meaning behind it at
• 37:21
  all. It's just one of those things
• 37:22
  that we love. Because that that bit and the
• 37:25
  Danny Jones guitar solo is probably the bit that makes it
• 37:29
  closer for me to which one I prefer.
• 37:31
  But yeah, the actual Lies as a song is brilliant.
• 37:36
  OK, I'm here for it. I'm so here for it.
• 37:39
  I think you. Choose right.
• 37:40
  Yeah, and I, I definitely think you chose right because I don't
• 37:43
  know whether you heard last last episode we did with McFly, I
• 37:48
  dropped a bomb on Shannon and told her that I actually didn't
• 37:51
  like Transylvania until this year.
• 37:54
  I am in the same boat, if I'm honest.
• 37:56
  Or maybe maybe last year when it was on at the concerts.
• 37:58
  I it's another one that I didn't know it, I knew the song
• 38:01
  existed. It's such a, I love that it's
• 38:04
  such a, it's such a rogue name for a song in comparison to the
• 38:08
  rest of them. So I'd heard of it, but yeah, I
• 38:10
  don't think I've listened to it and I hadn't seen the video,
• 38:12
  which I have. That's.
• 38:13
  It, I think the video changes it for people.
• 38:16
  When people watch the video, they're like, oh, I get it now.
• 38:18
  Do you know what I mean? Like when you hear Transylvania
• 38:21
  on Spotify, it's like, what is he singing about Anne Boleyn
• 38:23
  for? Or like for given sake, what is
• 38:25
  this about like? We do need more doggy songs
• 38:28
  though, to be fair. We do need more doggy songs.
• 38:31
  I'm so here for doggy. Oh my goodness.
• 38:33
  OK, next one. Shannon, over to you.
• 38:36
  OK, 3:00 AM or who's David? You.
• 38:44
  You've put me on 4:00 and 5:00 on the list.
• 38:47
  Oh. So the the answer is who's David
• 38:50
  correct? Shannon loves.
• 38:54
  Who's David? Don't you, Shannon?
• 38:56
  I do love Who's David I I have written these questions to be
• 39:01
  hard, but also without thinking that I would ever have to answer
• 39:06
  them. Answer them.
• 39:07
  Yeah, because I'm going to ask you what your choice is.
• 39:10
  I don't know if I could pick between these two songs.
• 39:13
  I. Couldn't either.
• 39:14
  They're both like, they're probably both like #2 spots for
• 39:17
  me. They're probably my like me.
• 39:19
  And there was #1 And then these two, yeah.
• 39:21
  I love screaming. Who's David with you?
• 39:24
  Taylor in a car. Oh, it's best with the.
• 39:26
  Windows down like stupid. Who's David The.
• 39:30
  Best bitch. I'm like 12 again when I hear
• 39:35
  that I'm 12 again in my room hoping that my mum doesn't hear
• 39:38
  me because I'm shout with the word bitch.
• 39:40
  Oh, specifically hoping your mum does hear you.
• 39:43
  Yeah, when she comes to tell you off, you could be like, I'm just
• 39:45
  singing a song. The song Mama part of the song
• 39:50
  I. Do I do have a core memory?
• 39:53
  Little bit about in, but I used to I used to sing along to the
• 39:57
  songs in the car. Like non-stop.
• 39:59
  I had my CD player in. I'd sing along.
• 40:01
  I remember the day that I had to stop doing that was because I
• 40:04
  did the 3:00 AM scream and I got shouted at and that and I never
• 40:08
  sang in the car again. Who shouted at you?
• 40:13
  Stop singing. No, I'm getting.
• 40:17
  Really sick of this. Yeah, but the scream.
• 40:20
  Did you know the scream in the original song is actually sung
• 40:22
  by James, but now Charlie does it?
• 40:25
  Yes, I did. Oh my.
• 40:26
  God, literally. It's a good improvement, I will
• 40:29
  be honest. Oh, it really is built for those
• 40:31
  notes. It is.
• 40:32
  Literally like it takes it to another level.
• 40:34
  Like James, bless him, he tried and he did a good job.
• 40:37
  But there's no comparison to Charlie Simpson Screamo, no.
• 40:40
  No, especially. When it's live, yeah.
• 40:42
  Oh my God, when? Charlie screams Jesus Christ.
• 40:46
  Things happen. I'm taken away to the planet.
• 40:52
  He is. I'm bored again.
• 40:54
  Yeah. He is something else.
• 40:56
  Fair play. OK, next ones are busted versus
• 41:00
  McFly but they're members so it's slightly easier I think.
• 41:03
  I know you probably will choose or bust.
• 41:05
  I wonder. How is he going to go we're.
• 41:06
  Going to talk about ours as well.
• 41:08
  First one is Matt versus Doug. Oh, it has to be Matt.
• 41:14
  That's no disrespect to Dougie. He's pretty cool.
• 41:18
  But. No, I think it's about I do like
• 41:22
  Dougie's. Matt feels like he's got.
• 41:27
  I used to feel I get more energy.
• 41:28
  Now I'm not so sure because I've seen Dougie more recently, but
• 41:31
  Dougie doesn't stop moving on stage, whereas as much as Matt
• 41:34
  has the energy he tends to. He's not.
• 41:37
  Bouncing and bouncing and bouncing and constantly and he
• 41:39
  doesn't have literally have a trampoline whereas.
• 41:41
  The ADHD Dougie. Is just all over the shop.
• 41:44
  Yeah, I get it, I get it. We knew you were going to choose
• 41:48
  all the bustards anyway because these are going to be easy.
• 41:50
  So the next one is Charlie or Danny.
• 41:55
  Vocally, I think they're, I think, I think Charlie only just
• 41:59
  edges it. I think that's.
• 42:01
  The hot take. I well, I could be wrong, I
• 42:05
  don't know. But obviously I do prefer
• 42:07
  Charlie, but I think partly as well because I haven't really
• 42:11
  explored any of Mcfly's solo stuff.
• 42:14
  And that's also not to say that I've explored much of Busted
• 42:17
  because I haven't, I know a bit of Young Pilgrim from Charlie.
• 42:21
  I didn't really do any of the fight star stuff.
• 42:23
  And then some of his more recent EPS and songs are ICU that he
• 42:28
  did after he did what was the show called Mars Singer after he
• 42:33
  did those sorts of things. So yeah, I think I know a bit
• 42:36
  more of his depth. Yeah, I know more about his
• 42:38
  actual individual depth compared to Danny's.
• 42:41
  Yeah, yeah, Danny's got a very good voice.
• 42:43
  Danny's vocals are something else, but you can't, you can't
• 42:48
  compare them. They're both powerhouses and
• 42:50
  they're both very obvious front men and they're just incredible.
• 42:53
  They just they don't have to that one so long.
• 42:55
  I think. Oh.
• 42:56
  That's really tricky for me, Shannon.
• 43:00
  It's very difficult, but I am a Danny girl in terms of like
• 43:05
  vocals, like I'm a Tom. I'm a Tom girl.
• 43:08
  Flip through and through. You know me, I'm a James, I'm a
• 43:10
  Tom girl. I like the dorky, nerdy guys.
• 43:13
  That's me. I'm like, I'm down for like the
• 43:15
  ones that they're not the hot topic.
• 43:17
  Everybody goes for Charlie and everybody goes for Danny and I'm
• 43:20
  like the, you know, the second, the second ones.
• 43:23
  But I do, I think for me, Danny does just.
• 43:29
  Just. Push it past Charlie and I don't
• 43:31
  think it's because I don't love Charlie and I don't think
• 43:34
  Charlie's incredible. I just think Danny's
• 43:37
  versatility, from what I hear is amazing.
• 43:41
  And I just like, like you've said there, Ben, I just don't
• 43:44
  think I've explored Charlie's solo stuff enough to feel like I
• 43:47
  could choose Charlie in that situation.
• 43:50
  I think it's Charlie's high notes at edge it for me
• 43:52
  slightly. Yeah, and you don't?
• 43:54
  Get much of that from Danny. I mean, you might get it from
• 43:56
  Danny. I might have missed something
• 43:57
  obvious, but I don't see as much of that from Danny We.
• 44:01
  Do get quite a lot of big notes from Danny.
• 44:03
  He's got a big I'm. A Danny girl, he's my favourite
• 44:07
  in the band. For his personality, for his
• 44:10
  voice, for him as a person. I think if I was to pick I would
• 44:15
  pick CC. Yeah, because you're a big
• 44:17
  Charlie fan, aren't you? I just think.
• 44:19
  I have. Explored both Charlie's personal
• 44:23
  stuff and Danny's personal stuff.
• 44:25
  I listened to Danny's solo album.
• 44:27
  I've listened to most if not all of what Charlie has done on his
• 44:32
  own and with bands and I just think Danny as a person better
• 44:39
  in my opinion. Vocally, I think Charlie is more
• 44:43
  versatile. He can literally do everything.
• 44:48
  There is not one thing he can't do.
• 44:52
  I love that. I think I'd agree if I'd have
• 44:54
  explored his his work a bit more, but I only know Charlie
• 44:58
  from busted. I don't know Charlie.
• 44:59
  I don't listen to Charlie outside of busted, never have.
• 45:02
  Not that I don't appreciate it. And I've heard a few of his like
• 45:05
  bits of from fights on a bits from president like in passing,
• 45:09
  but then never anything that I've took.
• 45:12
  It's a secret I've never really like, explored it, you know what
• 45:17
  I mean? I feel like if I had, I'd
• 45:18
  probably agree with you both, but for now, I'm sticking to my
• 45:21
  guns. I was.
• 45:22
  Just going to say, I think they're probably the two that if
• 45:25
  you if you took one out of each band, they're the two.
• 45:28
  And I mean, it's in a good way that it would make minimal
• 45:30
  difference as in if you put Charlie and McFly and Danny and
• 45:35
  busted because when when they first did Mcbusted and they came
• 45:38
  out and they did air Hostess and it was Tom singing that uniform
• 45:43
  you're wearing, it didn't sound bad, but it didn't sound right.
• 45:46
  And I think part of that is because we're used to like the
• 45:48
  sort of Husky voice from. Charlie.
• 45:50
  Versus Tom. 'S different Tom's very clean
• 45:52
  cut. It was closer to it wasn't quite
• 45:55
  as James whiny, but it was it was like you say, clean, a clean
• 45:58
  cut higher pitch and it just sounded not as the same as.
• 46:03
  I think like when we had the versus tour as obviously as
• 46:06
  well, like I feel like because they were missing James, there
• 46:09
  was a massive disconnect with the versus aspect.
• 46:12
  And we've talked about that quite a lot and how we, a lot of
• 46:16
  fans, including us, obviously think that they didn't really do
• 46:20
  a versus tour. They just did a Busted and McFly
• 46:22
  tour. It wasn't a versus tour.
• 46:25
  There wasn't a lot of elements of verses in there, but we
• 46:27
  wondered whether that was because James wasn't there.
• 46:30
  Did they change it all last minute because James wasn't
• 46:33
  there? Or was this actually their
• 46:35
  versus tour? That's what they saw as their
• 46:36
  versus tour. We saw it as like a boxing ring.
• 46:39
  Do you know what I mean? And like them like singing each
• 46:41
  other's songs or singing songs at each other and taking it
• 46:43
  like, you know, mix ups and mash ups and all of that.
• 46:46
  We just didn't get that. But I think that that obviously
• 46:49
  would have been where James would have been paired.
• 46:51
  He'd have been paired with Tom. Matt was paired with Doug.
• 46:53
  Danny was paired with Charlie. That's just how it works.
• 46:55
  Their voices are similar. Yeah.
• 46:59
  Like, he's got that soft, whiny tone like James has.
• 47:03
  Tom's is quite clean. And like we've said, it's clean
• 47:05
  cut, whereas Danny and Charlie are the raspy, rough sort of
• 47:08
  versions. And then you've got the edgy
• 47:10
  sound from Matt and Dougie. So yeah, I completely agree
• 47:14
  with. Them can I throw a side ball, a
• 47:16
  curveball? Sorry that I've just thought
• 47:19
  about which is not written on the script or anything, it's
• 47:21
  just popped into my head. So whatever you say, it's going
• 47:24
  to be like your honest opinion. If James and Tom did a Not alone
• 47:32
  3:00 AM, what songs do you think that it would be?
• 47:40
  I was someone told me, and I don't know where they get their
• 47:46
  information, but they do tend to be quite reliable.
• 47:48
  But someone told me that they were going to do air guitar like
• 47:53
  they were going to do an acoustic melody with air guitar
• 47:55
  and a couple that. Would have been so good because
• 47:57
  that's obviously a MC Busted song, so it would have worked
• 48:00
  well. But I'm still trying to think of
• 48:01
  like a Busted and a McFly song that would have worked for that.
• 48:04
  Do you know what I mean? I feel like something like 90s,
• 48:11
  which I love 90s would have. Been good I feel.
• 48:14
  Like that could have worked well, maybe with something like
• 48:17
  bubble wrap or what else could we have put with 90s?
• 48:22
  I'm trying to think of little. Joanna.
• 48:24
  Little Joanna. I'm not a little Joanna's fan,
• 48:28
  really. I mean, we've talked about that
• 48:30
  before people, and it's OK. It's just not one of my
• 48:33
  favourite songs. I'm trying to think of that one.
• 48:37
  That I know, to be fair. Yeah, it's one of those, Ben.
• 48:41
  Which album is it? Motion in the ocean in the
• 48:44
  ocean, in the. Ocean do.
• 48:48
  You know what can I just say what I really would?
• 48:50
  We could have, we could have, we could have 90s and like Star
• 48:53
  Girl for James and Tom. But I would absolutely love to
• 48:57
  hear James sing something like Love is Easy.
• 49:00
  Yeah, how? Cute would that be?
• 49:02
  Oh. My God, love is easy and meet
• 49:04
  you there. Oh.
• 49:06
  I've just just. Topped it because they're like 2
• 49:08
  of my favourite songs ever. Are we running this as in they
• 49:11
  are we running this? Are we doing this as in they
• 49:14
  they do that version and it's therefore not in the actual
• 49:17
  concert or as in like the the main version.
• 49:19
  So they don't have star goal in the set and you don't have meet
• 49:22
  you there in the set because they're doing it, Yeah.
• 49:24
  Because they wouldn't say. They do it separately.
• 49:25
  Yeah, I think, I think I think I'd probably choose Love is Easy
• 49:29
  and meet you there. I think that would be really
• 49:31
  good. I think that would be Star girl
• 49:33
  would be great for for James, but I feel like I'd love the
• 49:36
  acoustic style. Love is easy, happy Doo Doo Doo
• 49:39
  Doo Doo Doo. I just feel like I'd love to.
• 49:41
  I could have had. Happiness back in there, yeah.
• 49:43
  Yeah. They could have.
• 49:44
  That quite early doors, didn't they?
• 49:45
  Yeah, they did prick. Yeah, I only.
• 49:48
  Heard it once. I heard it.
• 49:50
  I mean I. Only, yeah, I only it was, I
• 49:55
  only went, but I did, I did hear happiness, so I was quite lucky.
• 49:59
  But I. Would love them to do like what
• 50:01
  happened to your band as like a battle.
• 50:03
  Oh. My God I'd love my busted so
• 50:05
  much. I would love that.
• 50:09
  I would have loved to have heard like more Mcbusted songs, but I
• 50:13
  get why they didn't do it because obviously Charlie wasn't
• 50:15
  in Mcbusted, so maybe they that was why they didn't do it.
• 50:18
  Obviously they did hate your guts and they did what happened
• 50:21
  to your band, but I just don't think that.
• 50:22
  I think I think air guitar would have been such a good song.
• 50:26
  Like why didn't they do air guitar?
• 50:27
  It would have been so good. Maybe they would have done it if
• 50:30
  he'd been there. Yeah, and like, beautiful girls
• 50:32
  are the loneliest. What a yeah.
• 50:35
  Oh my God. I mean, I can live without
• 50:38
  riding on your bike, but riding on my bike?
• 50:41
  I can live without beautiful girls of the loneliest.
• 50:43
  Really. Oh, I love it.
• 50:44
  It's so good. Yeah.
• 50:46
  OK. I see red my.
• 50:48
  Only skip songs I. See red OH.
• 50:51
  My. God, imagine I see red and then
• 50:53
  morph that into red. That would be great.
• 50:55
  Yeah, there you go. I'm here.
• 50:57
  For I would like before you knew me, I.
• 50:59
  Liked you better before you knew me.
• 51:02
  Oh what a banger. Oh, I love a bit of milk.
• 51:05
  Busted so good. They were actually my favourite.
• 51:09
  Like that was my favourite era for both bands.
• 51:10
  Like that was that was peak for me.
• 51:12
  Peak. Really.
• 51:14
  Absolutely. Peak.
• 51:15
  Yeah, peak. Sorry.
• 51:17
  That's such an interesting take that I didn't know about you.
• 51:21
  Did you not know that I like my Busted I?
• 51:24
  Knew you like my busted, but I did not know that you thought it
• 51:26
  was Oh my God, the best of both. Oh.
• 51:29
  God 100% like not like on their own, but like like McFly, good
• 51:34
  on their own and busted on their own, but them coming together
• 51:36
  was just like like I'd been hit by a supernova, you know what I
• 51:41
  mean? Imagine.
• 51:41
  It was teenage girls dream back in the.
• 51:43
  Day. Oh my, literally, I was 21.
• 51:45
  I was 20/21/20. Two, it's just about.
• 51:48
  Literally, I was 2122 and I was, no, it was even better.
• 51:52
  I was just in my prime, living my dream at university, just
• 51:55
  having the best time ever. And it was just every,
• 51:58
  everything just just lined up. When that when that came out
• 52:01
  that they were doing a tour, I was like, yes, please, thank you
• 52:03
  very much. We queued all day from 7:00 AM
• 52:08
  and it was the best concert. And I will, I will go to my
• 52:10
  grave saying that's my best concert ever.
• 52:13
  I'm pretty sure me and Clay was. Sick.
• 52:15
  It was sick. Yeah.
• 52:17
  Yeah. And then everyone joined us at 7
• 52:18
  and it was raining and we were underneath the the little cover
• 52:22
  because they hadn't put out the barriers yet because it was so
• 52:24
  fucking early. Early.
• 52:25
  Yeah, it was brutal. Well, there we go.
• 52:29
  Yeah. It is.
• 52:30
  And you've got to be committed here, Ben.
• 52:31
  That's what we're here for. Everybody here, we're here
• 52:33
  commitment. We won't take anything here.
• 52:37
  OK, so our last list or that is James or Tom.
• 52:42
  Oh, it's a tough one, but I think for me, I'm going to go
• 52:45
  James. Big, big decision.
• 52:48
  That was a. Coin flip point, say.
• 52:50
  Yeah. Oh, I love it.
• 52:53
  I'm a James Warn girl. You know me from through.
• 52:56
  It's really different. That's a question that I can't
• 52:57
  answer, though. I really can't.
• 52:59
  There's literally no. There's no choice.
• 53:01
  I think Shannon actually made me do this before.
• 53:02
  Didn't you, Shannon? I did and.
• 53:05
  She forced me to answer and I chose Tom, and then I cried
• 53:08
  about it for three days. You did.
• 53:11
  And then I think like 5 episodes later, you changed your mind,
• 53:14
  yeah. And then I changed it back
• 53:15
  again. Yeah.
• 53:17
  I fluctuate. What can we say?
• 53:19
  I think it's very difficult because James isn't around.
• 53:21
  Obviously he's dealing with his personal stuff and his health
• 53:24
  issues and stuff. Like I see so much of Tom all
• 53:26
  day every day that I can't Tom's got.
• 53:28
  Chickens and. Tom's got chickens and you know,
• 53:31
  Giovanna and Carrie, you know, love them all.
• 53:33
  Paddington here and Paddington and Buzz can't go on Instagram
• 53:36
  if I've. Seen it?
• 53:37
  Yeah. And you know which is a good.
• 53:39
  Thing with. It what's this duck called?
• 53:40
  Is it called like trumpet or something?
• 53:42
  I remember what it's duck guilt. Is it is it a duck or is it a
• 53:44
  chick? I can't remember I.
• 53:47
  Love that you know what Tom Fletcher's duck is called.
• 53:49
  I. Think, I don't think it's called
• 53:50
  trumpet. I think is it?
• 53:51
  There's one, there's one called Fred.
• 53:53
  I know there's one called Fred. Wow, I feel like there's one
• 53:56
  called trumpet. I've just made that up.
• 53:58
  If there isn't 1 called trumpet, Tom, you need to name 1 trumpet
• 54:01
  after my my choice for you. There you go.
• 54:03
  That's it. Tom, who is definitely.
• 54:04
  Listening to this thank. You for listening, we love you.
• 54:08
  Hey, he watches all our stories so you never know there.
• 54:11
  We go, oh. Dear OK, Ben, you have this or
• 54:16
  that for us, which I'm a bit scared about because I'm not
• 54:18
  prepared for. So I'm ready, but I'm Yeah, so.
• 54:21
  Mine is a completely isn't Ave and it was a busted question but
• 54:25
  it I guess it can apply to McFly.
• 54:27
  It's a little bit deep, but there you go.
• 54:31
  We love deep. So hypothetical situation, 10
• 54:35
  years time, whenever you want to think about it, Busted have
• 54:38
  announced their final tour and it is it's not a case of like
• 54:43
  it's a greatest hits and they might do a comeback in 10 years
• 54:46
  or anything. It is you just it's locked in.
• 54:48
  It's a final tour. Oh my God, you you get the
• 54:51
  choice of which show you go to, but you can only go to one.
• 54:54
  Are you going to? I know it's barbaric, but we're
• 54:58
  here now. This is.
• 54:59
  Brutal are. You are you going to opening
• 55:02
  night or closing night? Closing night.
• 55:06
  OK, well that was that lustre. Easy, Chan I.
• 55:09
  Can't, I can't look. I thought of any.
• 55:12
  Game to 1 favourite. I've already experienced my
• 55:15
  favourite band ever broken up and we don't need to go to
• 55:18
  opening or closing. Oh, that.
• 55:19
  Yeah, no, but the the pros for opening night I.
• 55:23
  Went right in the middle. Yeah, twice.
• 55:29
  I think if. You go open at night, you get
• 55:32
  everything without surprises. Sorry.
• 55:35
  You get the surprises, yeah. You get no spoilers.
• 55:38
  Yeah. But I'll tell you, I love a
• 55:40
  setlist.net. Oh.
• 55:41
  Yeah, me too. I.
• 55:43
  Love I love an Instagram live then.
• 55:45
  When we went to Mcbusted, we wrote the setlist on the back of
• 55:48
  our T-shirts so that we could be prepared for the.
• 55:50
  Lexus people behind us were looking at our tops, knowing
• 55:54
  what was coming next, what was coming.
• 55:55
  Next So funny. I think I would say the final
• 55:59
  show just because I I would feel like shit if I not go into more
• 56:06
  than one show, but I think I'd feel worse if I wasn't at the
• 56:08
  last one. The.
• 56:09
  Last one I feel like that was in my.
• 56:11
  Head emotional yeah and in my head in my like, immediate
• 56:15
  family and friends at the time I was the first ever Busted fan,
• 56:21
  so I feel like I need to be there at the end at the.
• 56:23
  Very end. Yeah, make sure.
• 56:25
  Part of their history in a way as well.
• 56:26
  I've got. 100%. You're at the actual final show,
• 56:29
  yeah. Yeah, I'm there.
• 56:30
  What would you have chosen, Ben? I think, I think I would have
• 56:34
  chosen closing night as well. But I was really, when I went to
• 56:38
  the versus tour, it was, it was annoying how much of it, it was
• 56:43
  a good annoying in a way, but it was annoying how much child you
• 56:45
  knew was going to happen from seeing it online.
• 56:47
  There's certain things that if I like Brittany, for example, that
• 56:51
  whole medley, oh so good. If I'd gone into that blind, I'd
• 56:56
  have lost my head. Yeah, like.
• 56:58
  Yeah. And the 3:00 AM not alone going
• 57:01
  into that blind that was. Insane it.
• 57:03
  Would have been it would have been awesome.
• 57:05
  Yeah, I will say I didn't. I didn't know that they were
• 57:08
  going to leave sleeping with the light, so I went to the
• 57:12
  Halloween 1. So the tour had been gone for a
• 57:14
  while. You were.
• 57:15
  Like the people? That went, yeah, I'm sorry.
• 57:17
  Yeah, I knew people that went and everything, and I did not
• 57:20
  know that they left that first verse for James to sing.
• 57:25
  And I didn't stand up for the whole show because I had
• 57:29
  Vertigo. But yeah, that song.
• 57:32
  So I shouldn't, I shouldn't laugh at that, sorry.
• 57:35
  It. Was quite fun that song.
• 57:36
  I literally I play wept like a dog, I thought, and that was a
• 57:42
  surprise. So I don't really like surprises
• 57:45
  because I like to know what I'm walking into.
• 57:47
  I like, I don't like surprise in general.
• 57:49
  I like to know what I'm getting for Christmas.
• 57:50
  Like I I'm not a surprise girl. Don't give me that.
• 57:55
  But at that moment, that was really special.
• 57:58
  Yeah, not. Knowing that that was going to
• 58:00
  happen. And I knew purposely not to
• 58:02
  bring that up because obviously I went to one of the earlier
• 58:04
  dates, I went to the first Cardiff gig, so I went to one of
• 58:07
  the earlier ones. So that was mean trying not to
• 58:10
  ruin that moment for Shannon, like without bringing it up,
• 58:13
  which is actually really difficult because we talk about
• 58:15
  everything literally we talk everyday about Busted and McFly.
• 58:21
  So that was like the hardest thing to do to not bring that
• 58:23
  up. It was a very special moment.
• 58:26
  I think that we've spoken before, haven't we, about the
• 58:28
  how amazing it would be to be able to, like, just go back and
• 58:32
  see a show or something like that for the first time.
• 58:35
  Like, I do it with like, TV shows.
• 58:36
  I think, oh, how amazing would it be if I could wipe all of
• 58:39
  Game of Thrones from my memory and just rewatch it all?
• 58:42
  Yeah. Like, I feel like that with so
• 58:43
  many things. I'd love to be able to go and
• 58:45
  see McFly for the first time again.
• 58:47
  But like equally no. But that's exactly what I said
• 58:50
  earlier about about Ben not knowing or not having heard.
• 58:54
  Was it Britney? And I was like, Oh no, it was
• 58:56
  broccoli. Imagine not hearing broccoli.
• 58:58
  Imagine listening to broccoli live for the first time.
• 59:01
  Exactly. It would be amazing.
• 59:02
  You'd be like what the fuck is he singing about vegetables for?
• 59:06
  Is this key singing out? A bloody broccoli.
• 59:12
  Iconic. Absolutely iconic.
• 59:16
  It's time for Song of the Week. And this week we are talking
• 59:20
  about one of the songs that helped launch busted into super
• 59:23
  stardom. It is Drum Roll, Air Hostess,
• 59:29
  woo Hoo. OK, big song.
• 59:33
  So what we do here, Ben, is you know this, you know the drill.
• 59:36
  We discuss the song. We give our rating out of 10 and
• 59:40
  we talk about what we like and what we dislike about the song.
• 59:42
  So as you're the guest, we're going to let you go first this
• 59:44
  week. We're going to throw you
• 59:45
  straight in. So tell us what do you like
• 59:48
  about Air Hostess? And if there is anything that
• 59:52
  you dislike, you can tell us that.
• 59:53
  And what's your rating? I don't think there's anything I
• 59:56
  dislike, which is a shock. I know it's it's the first
• 1:00:02
  Busted song that I heard on ACD because obviously my first CD
• 1:00:06
  was a present for everyone. I remember hearing it for the
• 1:00:08
  first time in the dining room, having it on.
• 1:00:11
  What do I like about? I like the energy of the song.
• 1:00:14
  I like. And I think you said earlier
• 1:00:16
  about the favourite lyric, it's probably when James just goes,
• 1:00:18
  yeah, all right, Which I know sounds ridiculous.
• 1:00:20
  It's not really part of the song, but.
• 1:00:23
  Yes, I'm here for that you. Don't.
• 1:00:24
  You don't get that many songs, especially in studio albums
• 1:00:27
  where you get that energy from the artist coming back to you as
• 1:00:30
  part of the actual song. So to have that very early doors
• 1:00:33
  was good. Yeah, I love that.
• 1:00:36
  And I think I just like how much it's meant down the year over
• 1:00:39
  the years as well. I like the intro they did for it
• 1:00:42
  for a ticket for everyone. And again, James comes out and
• 1:00:47
  says let's throw a party, which is just saying it off.
• 1:00:51
  He's just such a lovely. Man, he's.
• 1:00:53
  A top Donny on the peace confedor when they came out and
• 1:00:59
  they did 90s not 90s. Wow, coming home.
• 1:01:03
  Coming. Home and you see Matt getting
• 1:01:07
  into it not so much in the first song because he's the first
• 1:01:10
  vocal when they come back and he looks terrified.
• 1:01:16
  But then when he's when he's doing our Hostess.
• 1:01:20
  Yeah, You know, he does his. What's at the end of every
• 1:01:23
  chorus. Yeah, he starts doing that in
• 1:01:26
  the final chorus. And then he starts jumping up
• 1:01:28
  and down and screaming and that. That's the moment when I feel
• 1:01:30
  like yeah, Matt, Matt's into this.
• 1:01:32
  Yeah. He's here.
• 1:01:34
  He's arrived. And of course the the Top Gun
• 1:01:37
  outro. Oh God, yeah, absolutely.
• 1:01:42
  Absolutely. Oh, I love that, Ben.
• 1:01:44
  There's some really good answers there.
• 1:01:46
  I think this song just never gets old.
• 1:01:49
  Like like you said, like it it takes you through like life.
• 1:01:53
  It genuinely has never changed and it's like it's still one of
• 1:01:56
  their best songs. Like in my opinion, Shannon
• 1:01:59
  might have a completely different answer for this band
• 1:02:02
  so that's why I've jumped in before.
• 1:02:03
  She can ruin it. So quiet.
• 1:02:07
  I love this song. I think it's one of those pure
• 1:02:12
  nostalgic songs that take me right back.
• 1:02:13
  First of all, it is so crude and stupid and funny and it's just
• 1:02:19
  it's what what Busted were known for at the beginning because
• 1:02:22
  they were known for being a bit silly and they were known for
• 1:02:25
  the fun. And like, that's why like when
• 1:02:28
  we talked a bit and I know you hate us for the ratings we gave
• 1:02:31
  for when day turns into night and like losing you without you.
• 1:02:35
  Like we like those songs. I do like them.
• 1:02:37
  I would never like say I don't like them at all.
• 1:02:39
  We only rate them low to other Busted songs, but I feel like
• 1:02:43
  for me, Busted is energy. And like when I hear they sort
• 1:02:47
  of like more sad, like slow songs, I'm like, oh, they're
• 1:02:50
  nice, but they're just not air Hostess, you know what I mean?
• 1:02:52
  Like this is like it takes me back to being at school and just
• 1:02:58
  being carefree and just having the best time ever and just it's
• 1:03:00
  just fun. How can you listen to this and
• 1:03:03
  not like it? And on that note, let's go to
• 1:03:06
  Shannon. John's for her to ruin this for
• 1:03:08
  everyone. OK, no, I'll tell you what I
• 1:03:11
  like about the song. I like how I feel when I hear it
• 1:03:14
  live. OK, nice.
• 1:03:16
  I love screaming it so loud in a room full of people, or living
• 1:03:22
  their best life together, or pretending we're thirteen years
• 1:03:24
  old again. Yeah.
• 1:03:25
  I. Love how I feel when I hear this
• 1:03:28
  song live, do I ever? Put it on.
• 1:03:32
  Voluntarily put this song on myself?
• 1:03:34
  No. It's getting.
• 1:03:36
  Dangerous. Never.
• 1:03:38
  Brutal. I dance down the aisles in Asda
• 1:03:41
  and Tesco when it comes on on the radio and if it's on Radio
• 1:03:45
  One, I am my family are like honestly my little McFly and
• 1:03:50
  busted spies. I get texts all the time.
• 1:03:53
  McFly on Radio One, busted on heart or whatever.
• 1:03:57
  I am there next to any kind of radio.
• 1:04:01
  I near my phone, whatever, turning it up full volume
• 1:04:04
  because it's like what? It's like your Christmas, you
• 1:04:07
  know, when you see Harry Potter and the telly and it just feels
• 1:04:10
  different. Yeah, completely.
• 1:04:12
  Watching it on Netflix a good. Reference.
• 1:04:14
  You could listen to it anytime you wanted, but hearing it on
• 1:04:17
  the radio? Something else?
• 1:04:18
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I would never choose to listen
• 1:04:22
  to a song. I think they have so many better
• 1:04:26
  songs. So many, most of them are better
• 1:04:29
  than this one. But I do.
• 1:04:34
  And like I said, I I I do like it in terms of, I'll repeat
• 1:04:42
  myself every single episode. Every song was a 10 out of 10.
• 1:04:45
  Live. Live.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah, yeah. OK, it is.
• 1:04:50
  You're. Entitled to your opinion.
• 1:04:51
  Your opinion is wrong, but you're entitled to it.
• 1:04:54
  I'm hearing Blasphemy is what I'm hearing because if you
• 1:04:57
  because it. My favourite part of that is
• 1:04:59
  that if you're not putting it on, it's the first thing on the
• 1:05:01
  album, so that means you're going out of your way to skip
• 1:05:03
  it. I'm going out my way.
• 1:05:05
  To skip it exactly. Shannon likes a shuffle though.
• 1:05:09
  Ben she likes a shuffle. She likes playlist.
• 1:05:11
  Do love a? Shuffle.
• 1:05:11
  She doesn't. Do an out.
• 1:05:12
  She's not an album girl, she's a shuffle.
• 1:05:14
  I could. Never shuffle.
• 1:05:17
  I have a playlist for every occasion.
• 1:05:18
  I have a playlist for when I want to cry every occasion.
• 1:05:23
  Absolutely. That's important.
• 1:05:26
  OK, so let's give our rating, shall we?
• 1:05:28
  Like our actual ratings for the song.
• 1:05:30
  Then I'll let you go first. I probably can guess what your
• 1:05:32
  rating is going to. Be well in terms of spot on the
• 1:05:37
  album, I put it #3 in terms of an actual rating.
• 1:05:42
  And I'm going to, yeah, I know I've got to keep the number
• 1:05:45
  reasonable. I was going to go 9.5, but I
• 1:05:51
  think I might have to settle. I heard that.
• 1:05:55
  I I think I'll set it at A9. OK, good.
• 1:05:58
  Do you want to explain where the last point went?
• 1:06:04
  You anticipating the? Other other room.
• 1:06:06
  For I mean I'm looking at the 2 songs above it and one of them
• 1:06:12
  is definitely A10 and the other one's probably a 10.
• 1:06:15
  I think the gap between how much I like them.
• 1:06:20
  And this one is. More than the .5?
• 1:06:22
  Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's more than the .5 in
• 1:06:24
  it. Love that.
• 1:06:26
  Also can I just say how well prepared you are by writing a
• 1:06:29
  list of your favourite of like ranked your busted songs?
• 1:06:32
  I love that I'm here for that dedication.
• 1:06:33
  There's. Some that would make you sick,
• 1:06:35
  but that's a conversation for another day I reckon.
• 1:06:38
  Well, I'm sure you'll be back. We'll have you.
• 1:06:40
  Back for sure. Absolutely.
• 1:06:42
  OK, so Ben's going for a nine. I am going, I'm going to go 8.5
• 1:06:47
  because like you Ben, I do feel like there are quite a few other
• 1:06:51
  songs that I would rank above Our Hostess, but I still love it
• 1:06:53
  so much. So I think I couldn't rank it
• 1:06:56
  any than an 8.5. But thinking about the other
• 1:06:58
  songs that are to come, I don't think I could rate it above an
• 1:07:01
  8.5. So there we go.
• 1:07:02
  Shannon, what about you? Well, I'll tell you what I'm
• 1:07:06
  doing right now. While you 2 are both talking,
• 1:07:07
  I'm looking at my ratings for the other songs.
• 1:07:11
  OK. That we've already done, Yeah.
• 1:07:14
  Could I rate it? Am I going to rate it more than
• 1:07:17
  Psycho Girl and Losing You? I'm not sure.
• 1:07:21
  Yes you are. Yes, you.
• 1:07:23
  Don't even be stupid. Are you stupid?
• 1:07:26
  Oh my God, what's wrong with you?
• 1:07:27
  I. Think I'm going to rate it.
• 1:07:29
  My own personal opinion on our Hostess that's wrong.
• 1:07:36
  Going to rate it, sorry. Is the audio cut out?
• 1:07:40
  440 My goodness, we've lost Ben everybody he's disconnected from
• 1:07:50
  blame feed. It's going so well.
• 1:07:54
  Oh. It really was suddenly ruined
• 1:07:56
  it. He's never coming back.
• 1:07:58
  Everything good I said. I'm McFly.
• 1:08:00
  Put it in the bin. Hey don't hold me accountable
• 1:08:05
  for your opinion. I'm McFly.
• 1:08:06
  Yeah. Well, well, I knew it was going
• 1:08:08
  to be live because I know, I know the kind of busted gal you
• 1:08:11
  are. So I know that there's more like
• 1:08:13
  go to kind of stuff I think. There is only one one one song.
• 1:08:22
  2 songs on the album. I'd rate lower.
• 1:08:24
  That's it. 2 songs on this album that you would rate lower which.
• 1:08:28
  Means it's my you've. Got 13 least.
• 1:08:30
  Favourite song? Yeah.
• 1:08:31
  It's at a 13. Wow.
• 1:08:32
  This is rough. This is it can be a long night.
• 1:08:36
  The content. Can I have a can I have a song
• 1:08:38
  that you rate A5, please not, not a few of this album.
• 1:08:41
  Just a song, Yeah. From this album.
• 1:08:45
  And then from this album. Do any album and then can have a
• 1:08:48
  written apology as well because this is.
• 1:08:51
  So I rated all the way A5. OK, Right.
• 1:08:56
  Yeah. I would rate YA 5.
• 1:09:02
  I'd rate better than this A5 spoilers.
• 1:09:05
  Just going to start sobbing into I'm putting.
• 1:09:07
  Out my hair and I haven't got that much but.
• 1:09:11
  I would I tell you what though, this is a spoiler for the rest
• 1:09:14
  of the series. There is 12345678 songs on this
• 1:09:22
  album that are potentially 10s for me.
• 1:09:25
  Yeah, and you've still pulled out a four What?
• 1:09:28
  And I've pulled out we picked the wrong.
• 1:09:29
  We picked the wrong episode for you, Ben.
• 1:09:31
  Sorry. You should have come back in a
• 1:09:33
  10. Well, we knew it was going to be
• 1:09:37
  brutal because Shannon isn't afraid when it comes to rating
• 1:09:40
  Busted songs. But you know. 10 out of 10 live.
• 1:09:43
  I love the way this makes me feel when I'm in a room for
• 1:09:46
  people. Do I still feel that way when
• 1:09:48
  I'm in a room on my own? No, I don't feel that way in a
• 1:09:51
  room on my own. Oh my.
• 1:09:52
  Goodness, I'm going to. Go get those pretzels, I think.
• 1:09:57
  Oh, OK, right. Well, before we move on, I'm
• 1:09:59
  just going to do a little, you know, fun facts about Air
• 1:10:02
  Hostess. It's 2004 track by Busted.
• 1:10:07
  It was included on their second album, A Present For Everyone.
• 1:10:09
  It was written by Charlie James Bourne and Tom Fletcher.
• 1:10:14
  Just putting that in there for you, Burn just a little McFly,
• 1:10:18
  you know, he's a little bit responsible.
• 1:10:20
  Why didn't Charlie get so heavy? Contributor.
• 1:10:23
  Charlie, James and Tom. You went Charlie James Bourne
• 1:10:27
  and Tom Fletcher. Oh.
• 1:10:28
  Yeah, well, every we don't need to there's.
• 1:10:30
  Only 1C. He's like the Madonna of the
• 1:10:34
  band. He.
• 1:10:35
  Is yeah, he doesn't need a second name and he reached #2 on
• 1:10:39
  the UK Singles chart, so it didn't actually ever reach #1 on
• 1:10:43
  the UK single chart, which is interesting.
• 1:10:45
  Makes sense? Such a good song Shannon, what's
• 1:10:48
  your favourite lyric? My favourite lyric is probably
• 1:10:54
  Pause please. Pause.
• 1:10:57
  She wrote it down earlier and she's forgotten.
• 1:10:59
  That's why she's saying. But we actually paused.
• 1:11:01
  No, because I'm not going to cut this if you need me so much.
• 1:11:06
  About to come out. I my favourite lyric is Do you
• 1:11:11
  know what? There's two bits that I really
• 1:11:12
  love of this song. I like the visual aid of the
• 1:11:18
  cabin pressures rising. My Coke has got no ice in.
• 1:11:21
  I love that. I feel like I'm on a plane.
• 1:11:24
  I really like the visual age and that.
• 1:11:27
  My favourite part of the song though, is the bit in the chorus
• 1:11:29
  where they sing really fast. You know, I hate to fly better,
• 1:11:33
  feel much better. I could.
• 1:11:36
  I love that. I love that.
• 1:11:39
  And then I miss my pants. I just, I love the chorus.
• 1:11:43
  Yeah, OK, love that. I think my favourite bit is the
• 1:11:48
  paparazzi's lurking. You didn't know?
• 1:11:54
  Yeah, that actually my favourite part is in England people know
• 1:11:58
  me. One photo is worth 100 grand
• 1:11:59
  because I made a joke earlier about who was paying £100,000
• 1:12:03
  for a picture of James Bond in 2000 especially.
• 1:12:06
  In 2004, when you look at when you look at what that means in
• 1:12:09
  today's currency world, that's what it was probably not far
• 1:12:12
  from it. That lyric is about.
• 1:12:14
  You and I just love that he, you know, they rated themselves that
• 1:12:18
  high and they're here for it. Yeah.
• 1:12:19
  Confidence. Confidence.
• 1:12:21
  And I think you gave us yours earlier, Ben, didn't you?
• 1:12:23
  Your favourite lyric? Yeah, it's the start.
• 1:12:28
  I've gone blanket that falls really for me.
• 1:12:30
  Sorry, that's. My fault?
• 1:12:32
  No, it's. OK, it's OK.
• 1:12:33
  I know it's my fault. It's the start.
• 1:12:37
  A bit ready. Just go.
• 1:12:37
  Let's go. Yeah, All right.
• 1:12:38
  And that's not really part of the song, but it's just the
• 1:12:40
  entry part. What I will say about my Coke,
• 1:12:45
  I'm not sure what happened there.
• 1:12:46
  My Coke has got no icing. There we go.
• 1:12:49
  That's it. Yeah, I always thought it was
• 1:12:51
  icing. Oh my God.
• 1:12:53
  Shannon, what did I tell you before we started, Ben?
• 1:12:58
  Two months ago. Ben, I'm telling you now, I used
• 1:13:01
  to think this lyric was. My cupcakes got no icing.
• 1:13:05
  That's why I used to think this lyric was.
• 1:13:08
  To be fair, someone else said that to me so I can live with
• 1:13:10
  that for that is my. Cupcakes got no icing.
• 1:13:12
  Now say what it makes. If you if you hear icing, it
• 1:13:16
  makes sense, yeah. It does.
• 1:13:18
  It's. Not unreasonable, but you.
• 1:13:19
  Wouldn't have icing on a bottle of coke or a yeah.
• 1:13:24
  I've had a holder, but yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:29
  Yeah, absolutely there. But I'm here for it.
• 1:13:31
  Well, I'm I was singing Cupcake all those years, so don't worry,
• 1:13:33
  it's fine. There you go.
• 1:13:35
  The next thing I was going to ask was there.
• 1:13:39
  The next question, sorry, is would it work in 2026?
• 1:13:43
  If this was released today, do we think this song and its video
• 1:13:47
  would be accepted globally? No.
• 1:13:53
  I'm not. Again, I'm not too familiar with
• 1:13:54
  the video, which I should be. It's a lot of ogling at air
• 1:13:58
  hostesses looking at their bums and.
• 1:14:01
  Stuff, maybe not the video, I think the song throwing up.
• 1:14:07
  As long as it's clear that it's peanuts and not the other people
• 1:14:09
  can confuse it with then. OK, but how about the IT?
• 1:14:14
  Survives we were. Talking a little bit about this
• 1:14:16
  risky lyric earlier before we started.
• 1:14:18
  And the risky lyric is the I messed my pants when we flew
• 1:14:22
  over France. Because there was a lot of
• 1:14:25
  discussion as to whether that was him messing his pants, as
• 1:14:28
  in, you know, miss the toilet, or whether that was him messing
• 1:14:30
  his pants in a slightly romantic kind of way, if you get my
• 1:14:33
  drift. So yeah.
• 1:14:36
  Kind of way, but I. Think that's where it's safe in
• 1:14:39
  a way, because, because people of that generation will think
• 1:14:42
  it's the first because I thought it was that.
• 1:14:44
  I. I did for a while.
• 1:14:46
  And then I grew up and I met men.
• 1:14:49
  Yeah, right. I think the older you get, the
• 1:14:52
  more you realise what they're singing about.
• 1:14:55
  I think. I don't think it would work in
• 1:14:57
  2026. I think the.
• 1:15:00
  This. Song is well, there we go.
• 1:15:04
  I think it's I think it's as big as it is today purely on
• 1:15:14
  nostalgia. Oh, OK.
• 1:15:18
  Do you think? I think it takes.
• 1:15:19
  People back. No, Carry on.
• 1:15:24
  No, I was just going to say I think it takes people back to
• 1:15:27
  when it came out and it was an actual banger when it came out.
• 1:15:32
  But compared to music that they have created since then, this
• 1:15:37
  song came up before the album came out as a single.
• 1:15:39
  Compared to all of that, I don't think that it would be as good
• 1:15:45
  now after everything they've created.
• 1:15:49
  I think this song is as big as it is because of nostalgia and
• 1:15:52
  because there are fans that aren't actually, there are
• 1:15:55
  people that like this song that aren't actually fans of Busted,
• 1:15:58
  that know this song from when they grew up.
• 1:16:00
  Yeah, I get that. I understand what you mean what
• 1:16:03
  you're saying. I think a lot of what you just
• 1:16:05
  said would work in in their favour because you, the two
• 1:16:09
  albums they they split up and then they had 11-12 years.
• 1:16:13
  You got Night Driver. That really if, if Night Driver
• 1:16:16
  was the 4th album, it wouldn't have and it didn't do that well
• 1:16:19
  anyway commercially. If Night Driver was the 4th
• 1:16:21
  album, it would have been a disaster.
• 1:16:23
  Half, half of there's the album we wanted to have for the third
• 1:16:26
  album. This is what I needed you to
• 1:16:28
  say, Ben. Thank you very much.
• 1:16:30
  If they brought Air Hostess out now, I think for there's not
• 1:16:35
  that many bands that are making that sort of a song in 2026, so
• 1:16:39
  I think it would stand out. Yeah, it would stand out, but
• 1:16:42
  the only issue is the woke culture surrounding the lyrics
• 1:16:44
  in the video may give it a bit of an issue because the world
• 1:16:49
  people say. A lot worse.
• 1:16:50
  People are wet wipes. That's the that's the bottom
• 1:16:53
  line. People are wet wipes and deal
• 1:16:56
  with, you know, things that are a little bit risque.
• 1:16:58
  Now everything's a problem. But.
• 1:16:59
  It's not, it's definitely not their worst 10.
• 1:17:02
  God. Of course not.
• 1:17:03
  Oh my God. And not even the all.
• 1:17:04
  The Way is their worst one. All the way is brutal.
• 1:17:07
  Like this? Literally.
• 1:17:08
  All the way so bad there's a. There's a video on TikTok of
• 1:17:12
  Shannon literally saying James Bond's word, which was the
• 1:17:15
  lyrics that were you can't just leave me sitting here on scene
• 1:17:18
  2. Yeah, like it wouldn't make.
• 1:17:20
  It past a label in 20. 26 maybe? Even 2020.
• 1:17:24
  Like, literally. Brutal.
• 1:17:28
  I agree. I don't think it would do very
• 1:17:29
  well in terms of like I think that it would be penalised for
• 1:17:33
  those sorts of things, but I think the the people that are
• 1:17:36
  fans and that love them. If that hadn't have been
• 1:17:39
  released and was released now, they would love it.
• 1:17:41
  But if you weren't a fan, you'd probably be picked apart.
• 1:17:44
  And the music video is very objectifying.
• 1:17:46
  It's very sexualized, but it's the what the song is about that
• 1:17:50
  song is about a sexy air Hostess.
• 1:17:51
  Come on. But it's.
• 1:17:52
  Very. It's very present for everyone.
• 1:17:54
  The whole yeah, and they're. Teenagers, they were teenagers.
• 1:18:00
  Like, come on, give them a break.
• 1:18:01
  They're not like 25 year old man.
• 1:18:02
  They were teenagers. We were all teenagers once
• 1:18:05
  oogling at people. Do you know what I mean?
• 1:18:07
  Like, just get over it. Stop being a wet wipe.
• 1:18:11
  My bottom line. Well, that's all we've got time
• 1:18:15
  for this week. Thank you so much for listening
• 1:18:17
  to another episode of Galaxy Crashes.
• 1:18:20
  Absolutely, and massive thank you to our brilliant guest Ben.
• 1:18:24
  Before we go, can you tell everyone where they can find you
• 1:18:27
  online? Yeah, thank you for having me.
• 1:18:30
  I've really enjoyed that Ben WS underscore 96 on TikTok and I'm
• 1:18:37
  pretty sure it's the same on Instagram.
• 1:18:39
  I try and do a video everyday on TikTok whether it's busted or
• 1:18:43
  McFly. Love that.
• 1:18:45
  Yeah, well, I just started doing it and I'm stuck in the habit,
• 1:18:48
  so I keep doing it until I run out of videos, I suppose.
• 1:18:51
  No. You're doing good because you've
• 1:18:52
  got so many likes. Literally, you hit like a
• 1:18:54
  milestone the other day. I remember you sending me a
• 1:18:56
  little screenshot of how many likes you thought they were.
• 1:18:58
  It was amazing. I hit 100K about 13 K that is.
• 1:19:03
  It is McFly Sander on one video, which is pretty cool.
• 1:19:06
  That's amazing. I'm so here for that.
• 1:19:07
  That's amazing. Fair play to you.
• 1:19:09
  Amazing. Well, thank you so much for
• 1:19:11
  joining us. We've really, really loved
• 1:19:12
  chatting all things Busted with you.
• 1:19:14
  It's nice to have somebody who's so passionate about Busted and
• 1:19:16
  know so much about them. So yeah, really grateful and we
• 1:19:19
  hope that you'll come back to join us for another episode,
• 1:19:21
  maybe in the future. I'd love to.
• 1:19:23
  I think you know which one I want to be.
• 1:19:24
  Maybe. You could maybe you could come
• 1:19:25
  back for our album Round Up so we can really figure out where
• 1:19:29
  all your songs are. Oh.
• 1:19:30
  Yeah, that would be a really good idea.
• 1:19:31
  Maybe we should. We'll do that.
• 1:19:32
  We'll plug you in for sure and make a list.
• 1:19:35
  Oh, amazing. Thank you so much, Ben.
• 1:19:37
  Thank you. No.
• 1:19:38
  Problem at all. Thank you.
• 1:19:40
  Thanks. Bye bye.
• 1:19:43
  And to our lovely listeners, coming up next week is Mcfly's
• 1:19:45
  second song of Wonderland. It's I've got you and it's a big
• 1:19:50
  one for me. A spoiler.
• 1:19:52
  It's one of my top McFly songs ever.
