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.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
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, what's unique about the song
is he Big Black Sky is singing.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
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.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
You do.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
In the command the dock.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And so Joe's playing this song for me watch you
kiss her, and I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Feeling Joe with us. I love him, he was a
good friend of ours.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And then he hits this, I'm right over here, why

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I keep dancing a mile. I don't know if you remember.
It was a late night I was texting. I texted you.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
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?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
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 4 (06:35):
So Robin's mom has a new CARTERO. I'm just looking
after her mom.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So you know what you're talking about, buying your mom
a house and taking 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 me?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Out?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Well, I got, I got like I got two or
three nice watches. But you're taking care of yourself. Yes,
every now and again.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I treat myself friends and family first, and then me,
daniel what do we get bringing the Rolex guys bring.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
In I just snotted alone, please, oh my god. But pollen,
Oh my god. We have so many allergies going. The
body is a god It's a god awful instrument, most
of it is.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know if you knew this, Danielle is your
buddy Ed Sharon, of course at Barkley Center tonight.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Weren't you? Were you?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I saw this year and I think you opened for
him there.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I did.
Speaker 5 (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 4 (07:51):
Isn't he a lovely guy? He is the best. He
is so funny.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
It's like there's a couple of people I've met in
the industry which I just exactly the same as I'd
imagine them Wanes Leonard the Wist, absolute diamond, and there's
that sharing. They're just they're exactly how you expect them
to be, just very family oriented.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He's never changed. He's always been nice from day one
to now. He's never changed.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
And he's so still hungry.
Speaker 5 (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. Look 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.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
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 he ain't coming downtown anyway.
He said, if 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
(08:54):
everything he said, and they totally agreed with him. So
the next morning he was he was as happy I
got a great interview. Yeah, I bet, I bet next
time you win a civil trial.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Come on it.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It would be a lot better than this is an
interview today.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I'm just gonna pretend I didn't have you know, well 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, 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.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It's are you? Is that a cocktail? What are you drinking?
Do you know what? It's the most like boogie? I'm
drinking a protein shake. It's good protein. It's good for you.
I'm just just going straight from here to the gym.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
So wait, it's purple thought.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Radioactive. It's a it's a berry. It's a very protein shake.
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.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
And so.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
They always usually put the great songs from the soundtrack
on at the tail end and the credits of the
of the film, and you were telling Nate like, God.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
It's just no one's going to know it's even there.
It's like, it's at the end of the film.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, that's like the biggest song of the film.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
And you didn't know that. I mean, you're actually in it.
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 4 (10:42):
Yeah, And I was like, oh, okay, But.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
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 (14:25):
I want to play. We have texts.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
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.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
It's kind of a sad song. Would you dance with this?
Speaker 5 (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 for Duncing on my Own feels
a little bit counts productive.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
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. Also,
they're bringing up the Phillies.
Speaker 5 (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 us story. 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 the guys. I mean
I wasn't, unfortunately, but no. The thing with the Phillies
is they.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
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 have
to bring back Dance on My own so they played
(15:33):
it and they started winning again.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
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.
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.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Yeah, you know what I mean. So if you're a
Phillies found and you're listening, I was wanting to come.
It's just a guy. By the way.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I don't know if you know this, but Philadelphia fans
in general, for all other sports are the roughest crowd
the hat 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,
(16:17):
and I was left out of this.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
That was.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Because it was frigging mind But you're.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
In Philadelphia a little disrespectful anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, so when you did, uh, you're the reason with
with Leona, Yeah, yeah, she's incredible man. She So I
saw like a connection between you two on the video.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Yeah, maybe I am straight.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I'm gonna come out of this room straight, just on bumble.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Just that's what we do people straight.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
We're all about the conversion.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
You're come in one way.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I'm afraid to leave the road. The version spots this one.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Friend, sounds 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.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Having fun.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Kid, a guy had fun. I'll be accused of being
a drunk. I'm a drunk, but not now.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh my good.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
It kicks in right, just yesterday. It just kicks in
like a kick just comes in. Here we go, here
we are. You're a can you handle it? So why
do they choose this?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
It seems like an odd song to play for a
baseball team. It's yeah, I mean people playing at weddings,
people playing at baseball games.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I don't know, I don't know just where everybody's feeling
the vibe. Just don't question it.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Just let.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We got to play the song from Garfield. Yes, then
there is You, Then there was You. It's a nice
upbeat song.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
It's very cute. It's it's cute. It's cute because.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
We 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.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Here, go, yeah, there's yeah.
Speaker 5 (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 4 (18:36):
Especially now my new sexual orientation. Hey, there's nothing to
do with that. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Did
you ever see that film? 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 4 (18:49):
Of course I've not seen.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Who would you like to be the next Bond? Do
you have any I I.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Thought I felt would make an incredible Okay, because he's
a great he's great in Luther, and I think he would.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I think he would make it perfect. But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (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.
It's 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 don't know
you were You're like.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
A treasure trove of secrets.
Speaker 5 (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 I 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 4 (19:45):
But it's to do it.
Speaker 5 (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 Field and really kind of lonely,
and then and then Garfield appears. So then there was you,
and so I just wanted to write this cute thing
(20:06):
about when they met. When they met, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Little, but that sounds like a beginning of the film song.
Yeah well yeah, and it's right at the very end.
Speaker 2 (20:18):

gonna take you back and tell you how you met John.

in Windsor Castle. Yeah, in Windsor Castle. I went there
with Pop Royalty take that and we stood on stage
and we performed a song together, and I saw His
Royal Highness in the box there.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
With the family, and it was incredible. I mean I
came off that stage and I just beloved.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
I was so I think I was so proud to
be singing from my king, singing for my country.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It just felt incredible. Your mother.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Growing up with the royal family, Yes, Queen Elizabeth god
restrosult yea bless her to see her son.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Performing for the King of England.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
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.
Now I've got I've been asked to do this thing
for the King. Would you like to come? And I
think she thought that it was going to be the
coronation event where they're all sat in Westminster, Abby or
(21:38):
where they 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.
She'll go to the next door.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Don't worry. I took her car back off her.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Well, 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?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
No, it was insane.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
I think that's why I got so upset when I
left the stage, because there's so much nervous energy.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
And anytime I'm performing.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
For anybody, I get nervous, whether it's for the ed
cheering crowds, whether it's my own crowds, the King of
the country. I think I get nervous on every event
that I do. But I think with it being the.
Speaker 4 (22:47):

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.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
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, what's unique about the song
is he Big Black Sky is singing.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
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.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
You do.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
In the command the dock.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And so Joe's playing this song for me watch you
kiss her, and I'm.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Feeling Joe with us. I love him, he was a
good friend of ours.
Speaker 2 (05:30):

radio today for the fifty thousandth time. I mean, does
it still hit you yeah the way it hits me?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
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 4 (06:35):
So Robin's mom has a new CARTERO. I'm just looking
after her mom.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So you know what you're talking about, buying your mom
a house and taking 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 me?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Out?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Well, I got, I got like I got two or
three nice watches. But you're taking care of yourself. Yes,

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I don't know if you knew this, Danielle is your
buddy Ed Sharon, of course at Barkley Center tonight.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Weren't you? Were you?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I saw this year and I think you opened for
him there.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I did.
Speaker 5 (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 4 (07:51):
Isn't he a lovely guy? He is the best. He
is so funny.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
It's like there's a couple of people I've met in
the industry which I just exactly the same as I'd
imagine them Wanes Leonard the Wist, absolute diamond, and there's
that sharing. They're just they're exactly how you expect them
to be, just very family oriented.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He's never changed. He's always been nice from day one
to now. He's never changed.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
And he's so still hungry.
Speaker 5 (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. Look 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.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
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 he ain't coming downtown anyway.
He said, if 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
(08:54):
everything he said, and they totally agreed with him. So
the next morning he was he was as happy I
got a great interview. Yeah, I bet, I bet next
time you win a civil trial.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Come on it.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It would be a lot better than this is an
interview today.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I'm just gonna pretend I didn't have you know, well 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, 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.

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.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
And so.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
They always usually put the great songs from the soundtrack
on at the tail end and the credits of the
of the film, and you were telling Nate like, God.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
It's just no one's going to know it's even there.
It's like, it's at the end of the film.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, that's like the biggest song of the film.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
And you didn't know that. I mean, you're actually in it.
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 4 (10:42):
Yeah, And I was like, oh, okay, But.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
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 5 (10:56):
Maybe, yeah, especially the Marvel finds out that they that
there's a there's like a little scene from the sequel.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
There gonna be a Garfield sequel.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Who knows. You'll have to watch the credits. I'm ready.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
I want to play. We have texts.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
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.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
It's kind of a sad song. Would you dance with this?
Speaker 5 (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 for Duncing on my Own feels
a little bit counts productive.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
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. Also,
they're bringing up the Phillies.
Speaker 5 (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 us story. 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 the guys. I mean
I wasn't, unfortunately, but no. The thing with the Phillies
is they.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
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 have
to bring back Dance on My own so they played
(15:33):
it and they started winning again.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
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.
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.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Yeah, you know what I mean. So if you're a
Phillies found and you're listening, I was wanting to come.
It's just a guy. By the way.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I don't know if you know this, but Philadelphia fans
in general, for all other sports are the roughest crowd
the hat 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,
(16:17):
and I was left out of this.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
That was.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Why did you do that?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Because it was frigging mind But you're.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
In Philadelphia a little disrespectful anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, so when you did, uh, you're the reason with
with Leona, Yeah, yeah, she's incredible man. She So I
saw like a connection between you two on the video.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Yeah, maybe I am straight.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I'm gonna come out of this room straight, just on bumble.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Just that's what we do people straight.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
We're all about the conversion.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
You're come in one way.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
I'm afraid to leave the road. The version spots this one.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Friend, sounds 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.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Having fun.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Kid, a guy had fun. I'll be accused of being
a drunk. I'm a drunk, but not now.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Oh my good.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
It kicks in right, just yesterday. It just kicks in
like a kick just comes in. Here we go, here
we are. You're a can you handle it? So why
do they choose this?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
It seems like an odd song to play for a
baseball team. It's yeah, I mean people playing at weddings,
people playing at baseball games.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I don't know, I don't know just where everybody's feeling
the vibe. Just don't question it.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Just let.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
We got to play the song from Garfield. Yes, then
there is You, Then there was You. It's a nice
upbeat song.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
It's very cute. It's it's cute. It's cute because.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
We 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.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Here, go, yeah, there's yeah.
Speaker 5 (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 4 (18:36):
Especially now my new sexual orientation. Hey, there's nothing to
do with that. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Did
you ever see that film? 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 4 (18:49):
Of course I've not seen.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Who would you like to be the next Bond? Do
you have any I I.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Thought I felt would make an incredible Okay, because he's
a great he's great in Luther, and I think he would.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
I think he would make it perfect. But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (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.
It's 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 don't know
you were You're like.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
A treasure trove of secrets.
Speaker 5 (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 I 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 4 (19:45):
But it's to do it.
Speaker 5 (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 Field and really kind of lonely,
and then and then Garfield appears. So then there was you,
and so I just wanted to write this cute thing
(20:06):
about when they met. When they met, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Little, but that sounds like a beginning of the film song.
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 you met John.
He wait a minute, I want to play the song,
but I keep jumping around because I guess I'm on it.
You did a concert for the King of England.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
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 Windsor Castle. Yeah, in Windsor Castle. I went there
with Pop Royalty take that and we stood on stage
and we performed a song together, and I saw His
Royal Highness in the box there.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
With the family, and it was incredible. I mean I
came off that stage and I just beloved.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
I was so I think I was so proud to
be singing from my king, singing for my country.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It just felt incredible. Your mother.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Growing up with the royal family, Yes, Queen Elizabeth god
restrosult yea bless her to see her son.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Performing for the King of England.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
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.
Now I've got I've been asked to do this thing
for the King. Would you like to come? And I
think she thought that it was going to be the
coronation event where they're all sat in Westminster, Abby or
(21:38):
where they 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.
She'll go to the next door.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Don't worry. I took her car back off her.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Well, 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 1 (22:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
No, it was insane.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
I think that's why I got so upset when I
left the stage, because there's so much nervous energy.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
And anytime I'm performing.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
For anybody, I get nervous, whether it's for the ed
cheering crowds, whether it's my own crowds, the King of
the country. I think I get nervous on every event
that I do. But I think with it being the.
