mum retire early and we bought our house and and
you know what, I said this to everybody. My mom
has had to sacrifice so much for me growing up,
and she's always been there and she's always been present
that it just feels like that's the right thing to do.

of playing this story over and over and over. It
was Britain's got talent, right, Your sister, she was the
one that was in this thing, and you came in
there and just kind of put your hand on face
and shoved her.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
It's my time, now, you know what?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
My sister, she's a bless her because she had to
put up with me coming home and being like, oh

Speaker 2 (04:29):
See shed tunes with you. So the song came out
in our friend Joe Rainey God Rest his soul brought in.
I got a story about this song. Listen to his
voice and then we'll get into it. And so he
pushed play by friend the song that started at all?
This does she love? Then, so Joe walks in and says, hey,
(04:54):
what's unique about the song is he Big Black Sky
is singing about a guy he's into who's dancing with
a girl on the dance floor and he's standing in
the shadows and watching. He says, well, that's really the
original song. Well it's a twist. It's a guy right
lusting for a guy in that lustful way you too
(05:18):
in the car man the dock. And so Joe's playing
this song for me, watch you kids, and I'm feeling
Joe with us. I love him, he was a good
friend of ours. And then he hits this, I'm right
over here, why a ain't you seeing me? And then
here he goes, he flies, and I'm giving him. I'm
(05:42):
not the guy say get home.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I keep dancing.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I don't know if you remember. It was a late
night I was texting. I texted you. I said, God,
I heard this song again on the radio today for
the fifty thousandth time. I mean, does it still hit
you yeah the way it hits me? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Every time, every time, because it's a song that has
changed my life. And I was was obviously a massive
Robin fan as well, but then just my interpretation of it,
and like you said, me being I've experienced and requited
love who hasn't And I think me relating to that
and putting my own twist on the song, it's just
it's changed my life, you know. And I've had the
opportunity to speak with Robin and I've said the same
(06:23):
to him, like, I cannot tell you how much your
music has helped everyone. But then it's also transformed my life.
Who wrote it, Robin and a guy called Patrick Berger.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So Robin's mom has a new carteros. I'm just looking
after her mom, So you know what you're talking about,
buying your mom a house and takes him on trips.
There is something that Callum does. After he finishes an album,
he buys himself a gift. He's got a nice watch.
How many watches do you don't know? Having out? Well?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I got, I got like I got two or three
nice watches.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But you're taking care of yourself.
Speaker 4 (06:59):

family first, and then meane do.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know if you knew this, Danielle, because your
buddy and Sharon of course at Barkley Center tonight, weren't you?
Were you?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I saw this year and I think you opened for
him there.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I did.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I've been opening for him across Asia since January, and
then we finished up in March in India, which was crazy,
and then we got back out on the road from
June to September.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Isn't he a lovely guy?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
He is the best.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
He is so funny.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
It's like there's a couple of people I've met in
the industry which are just exactly the same as I'd
imagine them ones.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Leona the absolute diamond, and there's that sharing.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
They just they're exactly how you expect them to be,
just very family oriented.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
He's never changed. He's always been nice from day one
to now. He's never changed.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And he's so still hungry.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
He's still so hungry for for like, not even success,
but just to do what he does. You know, he
writes the song every day. He's looking if I write
one every month?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So ed, God, I don't even remember. He was on
trial downtown in Manhattan where he was accused of plagiarism
on music. Do you remember that? And he said, of
course that that verdict came out the day before. He
was going to sit in that chair with us. We're like,
oh god, I hope there's a good verdict here, because
he want he ain't coming downtown anyway. He said, if
(08:45):
they find me guilty, I am quitting this business. I'm
not going to write a song ever again. Well but
you know what they they bought. They bought everything he said,
and they totally agreed with him. So the next morning
he was he was as happy as we got a
great interview. Yeah, I bet. I bet next time you
win a civil trial, come on it. It would be
(09:05):
a lot better than this is an interview today.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Okay, I'm just gonna pretend I didn't have you know,
all though, I think just in his defense, I'll say,
is that, you know, there's only so many cards, there's
only so many melodies, and I mean, you know, yeah,
he would have never have done anything.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Never, never, never.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But you know people who want money. If you're just
turning us on, it's Callum Scott his new single We
got to talk about this. It's called Then There Was You? Now,
this is pretty cool. It's are you? Is that a cocktail?
What are you drinking? Do you know what?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
It's the most like boogie. I'm drinking a protein shake.
Speaker 2 (09:42):

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Okay, good, yes, So okay, So this song we're about
to play, Then There Was You, is on the soundtrack
for Garfield. A lot of stars involved in this, yeah,
the voices of stars, right, yeah, And so they always
usually put the great songs from the soundtrack on at
(10:16):
the tail end and the credits of the of the film,
and you were telling Nate like, God, it's just no
one's gonna know it's even there. It's like, it's at
the end of the film.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, that's like the biggest song of the film.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And you didn't know that. I mean, you're actually in it.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
You didn't know that. I did, right, Okay, I did
know this, But my mother just like, oh.

where is it. He's like, it's at the end.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, And I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
But you have to know that nowadays most people don't
leave during the credits because a lot of movies now
do like bonus scene, right, So you may have everybody's
full attention, right.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Maybe, yeah, especially the Marvel finds out that they know
that there's a there's like a little scene from the sequel.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Is there gonna be a Garfield sequel?
Speaker 2 (11:04):

Speaker 1 (14:22):
It's a counterbel It's very toasty, too delicious.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I want to play that way. We have texts. I
absolutely love Callum Scott, my husband, and my final dance
song on our wedding day was Dancing on my Own,
which is kind of weird. It's kind of a sad song.
Would you dance with this?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I know when people say like most people will dance
to you the region. Yeah, if they're going to use
a comp Scott song, dunceing on my own feels a
little bit counts productive.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I want to be with you for the rest of
my life, dancing on my own. It's gonna be a
great marry. I'm very I'm very grateful. Thank you for using.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Also, they're bringing up the Phillies.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Oh my god, I cannot tell you how much I
am in love with Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Okay, well, okay, so tell story. So Philadelphia loves him
the Texas His song became the song with the Phillies
locker room for the last two years. Oh my god,
you're in a locker room with these guys.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I mean I wasn't, unfortunately, but no. The thing. The
thing with the Phillies is.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
They took Dancing on my Own the Testa remix, and
so they started playing the song as a celebration, and
then they had the whole season where they played it
and all the fans loved it and they loved it
and that was great. And then the second season they
usually retired the song right the next season and they
started playing something else and they were having some rotten
look and then one of the guys was like, you
(15:32):
have to bring back Dance on my own, so they
played it and they started winning again.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
So like for two seasons they started playing that song
and we were so desperate to go over. But we
are so respectful, but baseball is a little bit superstitious.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
So I'm just like, listen, I would love to come
over and perform the song, but it's when the players
want me there. Yeah, you know what I mean. So
if you're a Phillies fan and you're listening, I was
wanting to come. It's just a guy.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
By the way. I don't know if you know this,
but Philadelphia fans in general, all their sports are the
roughest crowd, the hard I mean one year we were
we were at a game, Eagles game Santa Claus. I
believe it was an Eagles game. Santa Claus came out
on the field and they were throwing batteries at its
Santa Claus. And I went there wearing a Giants jersey
during the playoffs and I was left out of this.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
That was why did.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You do that?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Because it was frigging mind But you're.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
In Philadelphia A little disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Anyway, Yeah, so when you did, uh, you're the reason
with with Leona.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, she's incredible. Man, she's so.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I saw like a connection between you two on the video. Yeah,
maybe I am straight.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I'm gonna come out of this straight, just on bumble.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Just that's what we do. We're people straight. We're all
about the conversion. You're come in one way, I'm paid
to leave the road version spots this one friend, sounds
(17:10):
like you're singing in a shower and get in the
Phillies locker room. If people were texting it and asking
me if I'm drunk, I'm not KND. The guy had fun.
M'll be accused of being a drunk. I'm a drunk,
but not now.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh my good.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It kicks in right, just yesterday.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It just kicks in a kick, just comes in.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Here, we go, here we are. You're ady? Can you
handle it? So? Why did they choose this? It seems
like an odd song to play for a baseball team.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
It's it's yeah, I mean, people playing at weddings, people
playing at baseball games.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I don't know, I don't know just where everybody's feeling
the vibe.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Just don't question it. Just let all right. We got
to play the song from Garfield. Yes, then there was You,
Then there was You. It's a nice upbeat song.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's very cute.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's it's cute y.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's cute because we.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Got the brief and they were like, this first time
I've ever written for a movie. And they were like,
here's the brief. It's about Garfield. But I would stop,
stop everything. This is how that happened.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
To walk us through the process of being asked to
write a song for a film. It's more than just
I mean, there's there's details here.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Go, Yeah, there's yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I mean I've always been wanting my dream is to
write for a Bond song. Oh I think that would
be And I'm putting out there into the universe.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Don't you wish you were like thirty years older you
could have written the theme for Octopussy.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Especially now my new sexual orientation.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Hey, there's nothing to do with that.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Did you ever see that film?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's all you're you're a Bond fan. Haven't seen Octopussy?
You've seen and haven't you?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Of course I've not seen.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Who would you like to be the next Bond? Do
you have any I I.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Thought, I felt you would make an incredible okay, because
he's a great he's great in Luther, and I think
it would I think he would make it perfect.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
I've had little rumors that it's going to be somebody else.
I don't know if I can say, I don't know
why malicious rumors.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Again, Yes, yeah, I don't think I can tell you.
We cannot tell Callum Scott anything ever. Again, he's on
the Elvis dry boarding show giving away. I didn't know you.
You're like a treasure trove of secrets.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Oh I know you wait Pandora's Box. But you know,
the thing with the Garfield thing, we were just given
the brief. We were given like this because you know me,
I like making people cry. That's my calling in life.
So I was like, when is Garfield going to cry?
Like what a strange in the movie.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
But it's to do it.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
They showed me like some slide shows of the there's
a moment in the film where Garfield's a little kitten
and he meets I think his name is John. Yeah,
So he meets John for the first time and John
sat there having pizza.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Really kind of lonely.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And then and then Garfield appears, So then there was you,
and so I just wanted to write this cute thing
about when they met.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
When they met. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Little but that sounds like a beginning of the film song.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, well yeah, and it's right at the very end.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Even though we told you the entire Garfield story, We're
gonna take you back and tell you how he met John.
He Wait a minute, I want to play the song,
but I keep jumping around because I guess I'm it.
You did a concert for the King of England. Yeah, whoa. Yeah,
that's mad, isn't it. Every time I think about it,
I'm just like, what, Yeah in his backyard. Yeah, in
(20:40):
Windsor Castle. Yeah, in Windsor Castle.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I went there with Pop Royalty take that and we
still on stage and we performed a song together, and
I saw His Royal Highness in the box there with
the family, and it was incredible. I mean I came
off that stage and I just beloved. I was so
I think, I was so proud to be singing for
my king, singing for my country.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
It just felt incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Your mother growing up with the royal family, Yes, Queen
Elizabeth god restrossult bless her to see her son performing
for the King of England.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Hey, do you know what's so funny? I said to
my mom. I'm like, look, I've been asked to do
this thing for the King. I've been asked sons ready
know whatever? He sent me a request on invitation on Facebook. No,
I've got I've been asked to do this thing for
the King?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Would you like to come?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
And I think she thought that it was going to
be the coronation event where they're all sat in Westminster,
Abby or where wherever they do it, So she was like, oh,
it's not really my thing. And then and then she
saw the concert. She's like, oh, that's what I missed.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
She will go to the next word. Don't worry.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I took her car back off her.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
All.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
So you're performing for the highest of royalty, of course,
in the country in the world. Well, I mean, what
do you think what goes through your mind while you're performing?
Just just get me through these lyrics. I don't want
to screw this up. Or you're like, holy crap, he's
looking at me.

your a game, callum, because I want to keep my
head on my shoulders.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's very large, but but it's mine. Yeah. No, it
was insane.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I think that's why I got so upset when I
left the stage, because there's so much nervous energy. And
anytime I'm performing for anybody, I get nervous, whether it's
for the ed cheering crowds, whether it's my own crowds.
At the King of the Country, I think I get
nervous on every event that I do. But I think
with it being the King, with so many people tuning
and all over the.

mum retire early and we bought our house and and
you know what, I said this to everybody. My mom
has had to sacrifice so much for me growing up,
and she's always been there and she's always been present
that it just feels like that's the right thing to do.

See shed tunes with you. So the song came out
in our friend Joe Rainey God Rest his soul brought in.
I got a story about this song. Listen to his
voice and then we'll get into it. And so he
pushed play by friend the song that started at all?
This does she love? Then, so Joe walks in and says, hey,
(04:54):
what's unique about the song is he Big Black Sky
is singing about a guy he's into who's dancing with
a girl on the dance floor and he's standing in
the shadows and watching. He says, well, that's really the
original song. Well it's a twist. It's a guy right
lusting for a guy in that lustful way you too
(05:18):
in the car man the dock. And so Joe's playing
this song for me, watch you kids, and I'm feeling
Joe with us. I love him, he was a good
friend of ours. And then he hits this, I'm right
over here, why a ain't you seeing me? And then
here he goes, he flies, and I'm giving him. I'm

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I don't know if you remember. It was a late
night I was texting. I texted you. I said, God,
I heard this song again on the radio today for
the fifty thousandth time. I mean, does it still hit
you yeah the way it hits me? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Every time, every time, because it's a song that has
changed my life. And I was was obviously a massive
Robin fan as well, but then just my interpretation of it,
and like you said, me being I've experienced and requited
love who hasn't And I think me relating to that
and putting my own twist on the song, it's just
it's changed my life, you know. And I've had the
opportunity to speak with Robin and I've said the same
(06:23):
to him, like, I cannot tell you how much your
music has helped everyone. But then it's also transformed my life.
Who wrote it, Robin and a guy called Patrick Berger.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So Robin's mom has a new carteros. I'm just looking
after her mom, So you know what you're talking about,
buying your mom a house and takes him on trips.
There is something that Callum does. After he finishes an album,
he buys himself a gift. He's got a nice watch.
How many watches do you don't know? Having out? Well?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I got, I got like I got two or three
nice watches.

buddy and Sharon of course at Barkley Center tonight, weren't you?

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I saw this year and I think you opened for
him there.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I did.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I've been opening for him across Asia since January, and
then we finished up in March in India, which was crazy,
and then we got back out on the road from
June to September.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Isn't he a lovely guy?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
He is the best.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
He is so funny.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
It's like there's a couple of people I've met in
the industry which are just exactly the same as I'd
imagine them ones.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Leona the absolute diamond, and there's that sharing.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
They just they're exactly how you expect them to be,
just very family oriented.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
He's never changed. He's always been nice from day one
to now. He's never changed.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And he's so still hungry.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
He's still so hungry for for like, not even success,
but just to do what he does. You know, he
writes the song every day. He's looking if I write
one every month?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
So ed, God, I don't even remember. He was on
trial downtown in Manhattan where he was accused of plagiarism
on music. Do you remember that? And he said, of
course that that verdict came out the day before. He
was going to sit in that chair with us. We're like,
oh god, I hope there's a good verdict here, because
he want he ain't coming downtown anyway. He said, if
(08:45):
they find me guilty, I am quitting this business. I'm
not going to write a song ever again. Well but
you know what they they bought. They bought everything he said,
and they totally agreed with him. So the next morning
he was he was as happy as we got a
great interview. Yeah, I bet. I bet next time you
win a civil trial, come on it. It would be
(09:05):
a lot better than this is an interview today.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Okay, I'm just gonna pretend I didn't have you know,
all though, I think just in his defense, I'll say,
is that, you know, there's only so many cards, there's
only so many melodies, and I mean, you know, yeah,
he would have never have done anything.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Never, never, never.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But you know people who want money. If you're just
turning us on, it's Callum Scott his new single We

Speaker 2 (14:25):
I want to play that way. We have texts. I
absolutely love Callum Scott, my husband, and my final dance
song on our wedding day was Dancing on my Own,
which is kind of weird. It's kind of a sad song.
Would you dance with this?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I know when people say like most people will dance
to you the region. Yeah, if they're going to use
a comp Scott song, dunceing on my own feels a
little bit counts productive.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I want to be with you for the rest of
my life, dancing on my own. It's gonna be a
great marry. I'm very I'm very grateful. Thank you for using.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Also, they're bringing up the Phillies.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Oh my god, I cannot tell you how much I
am in love with Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Okay, well, okay, so tell story. So Philadelphia loves him
the Texas His song became the song with the Phillies
locker room for the last two years. Oh my god,
you're in a locker room with these guys.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I mean I wasn't, unfortunately, but no. The thing. The
thing with the Phillies is.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
They took Dancing on my Own the Testa remix, and
so they started playing the song as a celebration, and
then they had the whole season where they played it
and all the fans loved it and they loved it
and that was great. And then the second season they
usually retired the song right the next season and they
started playing something else and they were having some rotten
look and then one of the guys was like, you
(15:32):
have to bring back Dance on my own, so they
played it and they started winning again.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
So like for two seasons they started playing that song
and we were so desperate to go over. But we
are so respectful, but baseball is a little bit superstitious.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
So I'm just like, listen, I would love to come
over and perform the song, but it's when the players
want me there. Yeah, you know what I mean. So
if you're a Phillies fan and you're listening, I was
wanting to come. It's just a guy.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
By the way. I don't know if you know this,
but Philadelphia fans in general, all their sports are the
roughest crowd, the hard I mean one year we were
we were at a game, Eagles game Santa Claus. I
believe it was an Eagles game. Santa Claus came out
on the field and they were throwing batteries at its
Santa Claus. And I went there wearing a Giants jersey
during the playoffs and I was left out of this.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
That was why did.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You do that?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Because it was frigging mind But you're.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
In Philadelphia A little disrespectful.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Anyway, Yeah, so when you did, uh, you're the reason
with with Leona.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, she's incredible. Man, she's so.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I saw like a connection between you two on the video. Yeah,
maybe I am straight.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I'm gonna come out of this straight, just on bumble.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Just that's what we do. We're people straight. We're all
about the conversion. You're come in one way, I'm paid
to leave the road version spots this one friend, sounds
(17:10):
like you're singing in a shower and get in the
Phillies locker room. If people were texting it and asking
me if I'm drunk, I'm not KND. The guy had fun.
M'll be accused of being a drunk. I'm a drunk,
but not now.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh my good.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It kicks in right, just yesterday.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It just kicks in a kick, just comes in.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Here, we go, here we are. You're ady? Can you
handle it? So? Why did they choose this? It seems
like an odd song to play for a baseball team.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
It's it's yeah, I mean, people playing at weddings, people
playing at baseball games.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I don't know, I don't know just where everybody's feeling
the vibe.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Just don't question it. Just let all right. We got
to play the song from Garfield. Yes, then there was You,
Then there was You. It's a nice upbeat song.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It's very cute.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
It's it's cute y.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It's cute because we.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Got the brief and they were like, this first time
I've ever written for a movie. And they were like,
here's the brief. It's about Garfield. But I would stop,
stop everything. This is how that happened.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
To walk us through the process of being asked to
write a song for a film. It's more than just
I mean, there's there's details here.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Go, Yeah, there's yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I mean I've always been wanting my dream is to
write for a Bond song. Oh I think that would
be And I'm putting out there into the universe.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Don't you wish you were like thirty years older you
could have written the theme for Octopussy.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Especially now my new sexual orientation.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Hey, there's nothing to do with that.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Did you ever see that film?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
It's all you're you're a Bond fan. Haven't seen Octopussy?
You've seen and haven't you?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Of course I've not seen.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Who would you like to be the next Bond? Do
you have any I I.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Thought, I felt you would make an incredible okay, because
he's a great he's great in Luther, and I think
it would I think he would make it perfect.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
I've had little rumors that it's going to be somebody else.
I don't know if I can say, I don't know
why malicious rumors.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Again, Yes, yeah, I don't think I can tell you.
We cannot tell Callum Scott anything ever. Again, he's on
the Elvis dry boarding show giving away. I didn't know you.
You're like a treasure trove of secrets.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Oh I know you wait Pandora's Box. But you know,
the thing with the Garfield thing, we were just given
the brief. We were given like this because you know me,
I like making people cry. That's my calling in life.
So I was like, when is Garfield going to cry?
Like what a strange in the movie.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
But it's to do it.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
They showed me like some slide shows of the there's
a moment in the film where Garfield's a little kitten
and he meets I think his name is John. Yeah,
So he meets John for the first time and John
sat there having pizza.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Really kind of lonely.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And then and then Garfield appears, So then there was you,
and so I just wanted to write this cute thing
about when they met.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
When they met. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Little but that sounds like a beginning of the film song.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Yeah, well yeah, and it's right at the very end.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Even though we told you the entire Garfield story, We're
gonna take you back and tell you how he met John.
He Wait a minute, I want to play the song,
but I keep jumping around because I guess I'm it.
You did a concert for the King of England. Yeah, whoa. Yeah,
that's mad, isn't it. Every time I think about it,
I'm just like, what, Yeah in his backyard. Yeah, in
(20:40):
Windsor Castle. Yeah, in Windsor Castle.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
I went there with Pop Royalty take that and we
still on stage and we performed a song together, and
I saw His Royal Highness in the box there with
the family, and it was incredible. I mean I came
off that stage and I just beloved. I was so
I think, I was so proud to be singing for
my king, singing for my country.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
It just felt incredible.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Your mother growing up with the royal family, Yes, Queen
Elizabeth god restrossult bless her to see her son performing
for the King of England.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Hey, do you know what's so funny? I said to
my mom. I'm like, look, I've been asked to do
this thing for the King. I've been asked sons ready
know whatever? He sent me a request on invitation on Facebook. No,
I've got I've been asked to do this thing for
the King?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Would you like to come?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
And I think she thought that it was going to
be the coronation event where they're all sat in Westminster,
Abby or where wherever they do it, So she was like, oh,
it's not really my thing. And then and then she
saw the concert. She's like, oh, that's what I missed.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
She will go to the next word. Don't worry.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I took her car back off her.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
All.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
So you're performing for the highest of royalty, of course,
in the country in the world. Well, I mean, what
do you think what goes through your mind while you're performing?
Just just get me through these lyrics. I don't want
to screw this up. Or you're like, holy crap, he's
looking at me.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I mean he has the power to behead.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Yeah, absolutely, So I'm just sat there like, please bring
your a game, callum, because I want to keep my
head on my shoulders.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's very large, but but it's mine. Yeah. No, it
was insane.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I think that's why I got so upset when I
left the stage, because there's so much nervous energy. And
anytime I'm performing for anybody, I get nervous, whether it's
for the ed cheering crowds, whether it's my own crowds.
At the King of the Country, I think I get
nervous on every event that I do. But I think
with it being the King, with so many people tuning
and all over the.

From the very end of the film, Garfield. Oh, it
sounds cute and bubbly already. It's cute in bubble, it's exprofescent.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
