The conversation also touches on pop culture, the investigative nature of \"Swifties,\" and the quirks of musical performers.
This is a Global Player original podcast.
Only one seat left and it was next to Wayne Rooney.
You see I thought when I saw this picture pop up initially I thought you jammy bastard.
While you're squatting on a weekend it's up to you, we won't go into it.
But it was about Ariana Grande's new song and I was like I think she's singing about that Bach.
Bach the munchkin.
But honestly it was that ridiculous Joel Domet just looked at us both and laughed at it.
We did.
He just looked and just went.
Capital Breakfast after the show show podcast.
Hello and welcome to Capital Breakfast after the show show.
I'm Jordan North, he's Chris Stark and that is Sian Welby.
How are we all feeling in the week running up to the ball?
It's Capital Summertime Ball happening this weekend.
Very chilled.
Very chilled actually yeah.
A little too chilled for my liking.
Feels calm.
Feels calm which is a good thing really because it's a big event.
There's a lot of stuff going on, a lot of planning.
I think actually if we did overthink that we had to stand in front of 80,000 people
and not fall over for the first thing.
You know you actually think about that.
Even just going up those steps is a risk.
Everything's a hazard.
I try and look after you on those stairs.
You do, you're very good.
You're very good Chris.
Jordan goes first of course.
I'm a gentleman.
I look after Sian as well.
I always help.
You help her up, I help her down.
Yeah you know you're both very very lovely.
And I help you both when we go on that toaster thing.
I'm like follow my lead.
Yes yeah when we go up because we always somehow have never quite nailed it have we?
No.
It's just the second it moves fully up you have to go from crouching.
That's true because you say that and then whenever I see the video afterwards I'm like
one of us is always off.
Yeah no well can I ask did you ever nail it with Sonny and Roman?
Yes.
She went there.
Were they better at it?
Never mind I followed their lead so maybe I don't know maybe it's me doing it wrong.
She knows how to press my buttons as well.
So when we come up we come up from under the stage on what they call a toaster
we you my friend we're going to nail it this year.
Why are we looking at me?
I don't think I'm the problem.
I don't well well if I'm honest it's all three of us we're not quite in sync.
No we're not quite in sync.
It's not it's no one's fault.
It's do you know what it is we are crouching down because otherwise you'd see our little
heads poking up but it'd be that would be awkward.
But then there's a there's a feeling that you've got to slowly lift yourself up but
strangely you have to go immediately from bent up.
Yeah.
So anyway you can watch for that one.
That squat we've got to do before is one of the one of the most painful things.
Yeah it's crap.
I didn't think because the worst thing is I'm normally something that could trip.
Yeah and I always worry I'm going to get mad cramp because I'm never in a squatting position
or rarely.
No I didn't need to think of that.
It's maybe twice or three times a year at most I'm in that sort of position.
I'll be honest I'm going.
Two of them are the ball.
I don't want to look at the third.
While you're squatting on a weekend it's up to you.
I'll be honest I'm thinking is this creasing me soon.
Oh I know.
I'm going to look creased at the back.
But yeah it's been quite a calm week hasn't it.
It's true though I don't know if it's mind over matter.
I always get ill before the bottle and I feel like it's starting today.
Yeah but you talk your illness into existence I think.
Yeah that's true.
I need to get on the um first offence.
Yes.
I've not been taking it.
We got into that didn't we?
Yeah.
First offence.
I might have looked at it this morning and thought should I?
And I didn't but I might tomorrow.
I wonder if I've got some in my bag.
There might be something.
Talk amongst yourselves.
I might go and see if there's something.
He's going to go and get a nasal spray.
Talk about the ball I'm going to get some.
You see my concern is Sian and Jordan tend to talk up the illness thing before.
It's like we mustn't get ill.
We mustn't get ill.
They put too much on it so then any little thing gets.
Heightened.
Gets heightened massively yeah.
I haven't actually thought about this year because I don't feel ill and I feel very rested.
We're going to be fine.
It's going to be it's going to be good.
Yes get in.
Oh here we go.
Get your first offence.
Yeah do you want some?
I'm fine thank you.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Also by the way just to make it clear this is not an advert.
It can be any brand of it.
Like you can just get the own brand stuff.
Oh yeah.
It just works.
The own brand.
Oh baby that's good.
Let's hit the spot.
You want some?
No.
I'm fine.
You can't be sharing nasal equipment.
No that's fine.
That's where the illnesses do start.
It is.
What's he on about?
What is this bag of potions you have?
What do you mean bag of potions?
Is it a make-up bag?
No it's my brush bag.
Hair VO5.
For anyone who wants to recreate Jordan's look.
Let me have a little look through your bag.
He's got like a little boot bag with all sorts in it.
Because it's weird.
They were just nicked from the hotel.
There's a genuinely there's a bag of condoms in there.
Hotel toothbrushes.
What's that little lip balm?
That's nice.
Hairspray.
We've got a cute little brush here.
That's good.
Let's get down there.
Let's have a look.
Basically I just nicked a load of toiletries.
You take everything from hotels.
There's even a bag of condoms in there that I don't even need.
But why do you need a padlock?
Again what he does on a weekend when we're not there.
No that's for the gym because I take it to the gym.
So I use that on the gym locker.
Who's this?
Some kind of mint.
What's that?
American toothpaste.
Right careful because you've rubbed this all over.
You've got it in your beard now.
Just rub it a bit.
That's it.
That looks like a nice little lip balm there.
Yeah it's good.
Yeah lovely stuff.
Oh what's that?
Why would you need that?
Oh don't.
What have you found?
Give us a clue.
What does it rhyme with?
I'm going to give you a little peek inside Jordan's bag here.
Don't show it on camera.
Oh all right well.
It's a bit heavy duty you'd think for a wash bag.
You know we have days where you need them.
Everyone thinks I'm surprised.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah actually.
All right should we crack on with the podcast?
Yeah all right.
Here we go.
Let's do it.
Azzy's Arm.
Right then so what a week it's been.
What a week it's been.
It's generally I think going to be the busiest week of my life.
Because we've had Toy Story which we're going to get into.
Then we've got the ball coming up and we had Soccer Aid.
You have had a lot of you've had a real sort of.
You've almost done like what are those things like ultra?
Not no.
What are those things where you swim cycle and.
Triathlon.
Yeah you've almost had a triathlon of presenting gigs.
It's been mad.
It's actually been mad.
Soccer Aid looks so fun.
I put this on my Instagram.
I was going to take it off because I thought it looked corny when I said.
But I genuinely mean it.
It's probably one of the best weeks of my life.
Yeah everyone says that.
Honestly yeah.
It's like you know you say like every girl's dream is to be a pop star.
You know at the ball you always go off.
Most lads are into football.
It's like being.
It's like playing for England in a nice hotel.
You go down and you have breakfast.
You sit with a team.
The band.
I get it now and all the players.
You speak to any ex-players you say to miss it.
I don't miss the training or the travelling.
I miss scoring goals.
I miss the crap of the lads.
It's the best.
It is the best.
It's amazing because it's not just a one-off thing.
Like you might see the Soccer Aid game.
And then you might see the stuff where the coaches are obviously going there.
But you have about three days of bonding and training.
Which is awesome.
Because it's such.
As you say it's a bizarre experience.
Because you're not all footballers.
You're not all ex-footballers.
So you've got this funny mix of people there.
Very unusual mix.
And I think there is a bit of a kind of atmosphere there.
Like an environment where it's treated a bit like.
A bit like living out your dream.
Yeah.
Isn't it?
It's kind of like what stereotypical things can you do being a footballer.
Except you're Jordan North.
Yeah.
Or Owen Cooper.
And so you all get to enjoy it.
It's just the little things like the training kit.
You have to wear the training kit all day.
And you wear it with the socks and sliders.
And I'm like I actually look like a footballer.
Because that's what footballers do.
They wear socks and sliders.
You walk differently.
I think you hold yourself different.
You see all the training videos and that.
People are taking it quite seriously as well.
But it's all for a good cause.
Yeah.
So it's an amazing thing.
You're getting to basically do something so fun.
And living your dream kind of.
All to raise money for yourself.
You basically cosplayed as a footballer.
A three-day solid.
Just tell the story quickly about getting on that tour bus.
And you were last one on.
Because you were faffing with your hair.
Yeah.
So I was last one on.
That's on the tour bus.
And I'd said hi to him.
And played with him a week.
And we'd had a few chats.
But the only seat left going to the stadium.
There was only one seat left.
And it was next to Wayne Rooney.
You see I thought.
When I saw this picture pop up initially.
I thought you jammy bastard.
I like.
It was a great table.
I was like how has he done that?
What technique did you use to get to sit next to Wayne Rooney?
Genuinely didn't be last on the bus.
I was faffing with my hair.
You know what I'm like.
Because they said we're going to film as soon as you get off.
So I thought right.
I want my hair to be fine.
I get on.
And then I woke up and down.
And I was next to Wayne Rooney.
And I was trying to play it cool all week.
And I went.
Am I all right to sit there?
What was I?
He's like.
Yes I'm glad.
Yeah yeah sit there.
Just say yeah.
Are you all right?
I had a bit of chat.
Was it like a table?
Yeah.
Because I thought was Paddy McGinnis on it?
No it was Alex Brooker and Danny Dyer.
Danny Dyer that was it.
I'm going to tell you about.
So we're just.
And I'm playing it cool for like 10 minutes.
No one's really speaking.
And then I went.
Do you remember World Cup 2006?
I was like.
He went.
Yeah yeah yeah.
I was like.
When you met at Arsenal?
He's like.
Yeah.
And I went.
You had to go in an oxygen chamber didn't you?
He went.
Yeah I went in 90 minutes in the morning.
Like 90 minutes in the night.
I went.
My RE teacher made us said a prayer.
So that you'd.
That your foot would get better.
And you could play.
He went.
Just love that.
All right.
Sound yeah.
And I was just like.
What do you say to that?
All the things to start a conversation with.
But then.
We were chatting about Burnley.
And stuff like that.
And what have you.
So.
Yeah but then we just talked full.
And it was sound.
And before you know it.
Because this journey took two hours.
Because the Arsenal parade was on as well.
Chatting away.
Me and Wayne Rooney.
And then at the end.
Of the match.
In the dressing room.
I were like.
I said Wayne.
Oh I hate to do this.
Can you sign this for your best mate Rick.
And my cousin Paul.
They've asked me to get your autograph.
I said.
I know you get.
But he went.
Yeah yeah sound.
It was actually sound.
And I went look.
I've tried to play it cool this week.
But you're like.
My favourite ever England player.
And it's been an honour.
To be on the same pitch as you today.
And I thought.
Played it really cool.
Paddy McGuinness went.
Play it ******* cool.
It'll be like his shadow.
Old bastard week.
I just love it.
Yeah McGuinness.
Oh great.
But it was the best.
Just the first day.
Walking down.
Breakfast.
I was really nervous.
Training and stuff.
And do you know what.
I actually thought.
I held my own in training.
I did alright.
When you were getting ready.
Just got stuck in.
You go down.
And Danny Dyer's there.
And he.
I loved that.
I've only ever like.
Really spoke to him.
When we've interviewed him.
And I've done the wheel with him.
And he's like.
Oh I.
You're a so.
Come and sit down here.
I'll look after you.
And he's exactly.
How he is off the telly.
Did he do like team talks.
He did a few team talks.
All the lads were like.
He's great.
At the beers afterwards.
It was great.
He's.
You mean.
He's just good to have around.
He's good to have around.
He's lovely.
He took me under his wing.
Him and Paddy a bit.
And they proper looked.
Him and Paddy looked after me.
But even at the queue for breakfast.
You know.
When you're like.
At the bar.
And you're serving.
Helping yourself.
He's just Danny Dyer.
He's like.
Bosh.
Have a bit of that.
If I can slap a bit of that on there.
Let's love it.
Give that a bit of a tickle.
Won't we.
We'll have a look at that.
Won't we sweetheart.
And he started speaking to.
It was great.
I love it.
When people are as genuine.
It was good.
And training.
I was nervous.
And like.
I think.
A couple of players.
Like clocked.
That weren't the best player.
But I could get stuck in.
I can.
At the back.
I can help.
Because I think the training's.
Hard.
Because you have to do these drills.
So.
As I understand it.
You sort of in front of everyone.
And then they're just testing like.
Your touch.
Or your shooting.
Or your passing.
So one was being filmed by Adidas.
Where a drone comes shot.
I can't wait to show you the video.
And it drops down.
Yeah.
And it checks your first touch.
Then you've got to take it around.
On the assault course.
Like assault course.
Whatever it is like.
All these bits.
You've got to go around.
So everyone gets called up.
And he goes.
Right.
Next up Jordan North.
And Wayne Rooney.
I'm like.
Ball comes out.
You've got to touch it.
And pass it to him.
No.
You've got to touch it.
We want to.
And the coaches.
Are looking to see.
How your touch is and stuff.
And take it out.
Obviously Wayne Rooney beat me.
But again.
I thought.
I did all right.
I didn't do anything.
Wow.
You didn't do anything.
Embarrassing basically.
And what.
What I loved.
Was.
I was like.
I'm a defender.
So they put me at back.
And they said to me.
Just keep it simple.
Pass to a pro.
And.
And just get stuck in.
And Joe Hart.
And Angry James.
Were like.
Really.
And Lescott.
Were really like.
Yes Joe.
Like put back in there.
And they were like.
They were so lovely.
And they were like.
Joe Hart said to me.
He was like.
He went.
Shit out of them.
That's what he said to me.
He went.
You know.
He said most defenders.
Aren't the best players.
He said.
Just get stuck in.
Shit out of them.
So I did.
Pushed one at players.
And got.
------- stood on.
On my toe.
I had to go to train.
I had to go to.
Physio.
My toenail nearly came off.
There it is.
I've never seen the picture of that.
So that popped up.
And you were getting a massage.
Or something.
Yeah.
I was getting a massage.
With Alex Brooker.
And.
Next to me.
And Jack Whitehall.
Ice bath thing.
Nah.
Not for me that.
Do you have to do that.
Was that a myth?
They wanted us to do.
They did.
I just said.
I did to the coaches.
Have you been in Jordan?
I went yeah.
Been in.
Didn't quite nail my footy name.
There was George.
Geordie.
North.
Northie.
Oh right.
So I was like.
Pick one lads.
But yeah.
Okay.
Interesting.
But next year.
This is the thing.
If I get called up.
If I do two more years.
At least I said.
Me too.
Please.
I know that's desperate.
But please.
I want you to come.
To the.
Media day.
Yeah.
Cause I think you'd love it.
And we'll have a laugh.
I've already put a word in for you.
For.
World 11.
What I heard.
Cause you're Irish.
Funnily enough.
I.
Heard about this.
Yeah.
So me and you.
Against each other.
Because Chris can.
Use the old Irish passport.
Can you.
My dad's Irish.
So.
Yes.
What Jordan seems to have.
Arranged.
Is.
The idea that I can.
Use the Irish passport.
Yeah but you can.
Roman used to use.
Some sort of L.A.
Passport.
He was born in America weren't he.
He played for world 11.
Lived in the UK.
Most of his life.
Yeah.
So yeah.
I'll get yous on next year.
It was a.
But um.
I.
Are you proud of me.
I'm so proud of you.
Actually.
I was watching.
When I was watching.
I think you did exactly what you said.
Which was.
You did.
The simple things.
Played it simple.
So every time you got the ball.
Instead of just like.
Trying to go too much forward.
You looked for the next pass.
Which.
To most people.
Maybe watching.
Just looked like.
You know.
Are you just doing.
Going through the routines.
And stuff like that.
But.
I think it's such a good marker for you.
And then I think now.
You'll have that confidence.
Next year.
To.
Um.
Get up there for a corner.
I'm hoping.
If I get.
If I get called up next year.
I hope I do.
Well.
To say you.
23 minutes.
On your first.
Outing.
Your debut match.
It's not bad.
I know.
And I.
Did think I'd only get 10.
I'd.
I'd love to get a full half.
Some people got.
Three minutes.
Yeah.
Let me tell you.
No I think you did so well mate.
You did.
Thank you.
Yeah.
And you represent the show brilliantly.
It was.
It was the best.
Especially my highlight.
Was you sort of.
Bumming that ball.
Yes.
The Tucci block.
Yeah.
That's what we're calling it.
Yeah the Tucci block.
It's Jordan's signature move.
Yeah.
At the time of recording.
I've only just seen it today.
The block.
I thought it was a good block.
But actually it was.
It was quite camp-powered innit.
You sort of just turned around.
Went boop.
Boop.
Yeah.
It was almost as if.
You'd put a finger.
In your mouth.
It was like.
My goal had been Marilyn Monroe.
Singing happy birthday.
To the president.
And then you battered that ball.
Back out.
It was great.
Oh.
Call that a cross.
It was great.
You were brilliant.
So from Soccer Aid.
To Toy Story.
Which has just been mad as well.
So I actually missed the first day of Soccer Aid.
Because Sean Welby and I were doing.
Oh Chris it was so weird.
Oh you missed.
You missed the opening of Soccer Aid for this.
So I missed the first day of training.
And the first night.
Where they all got absolutely.
I won't name names.
Some of them got battered.
I'm talking.
Yeah but I like.
Oh it did look fun.
Listen I was going to say.
I like things like that.
Because it means.
Actually at the end of the day.
It shouldn't be that serious.
Yeah.
Have a bit of fun with it.
Danny did something perfectly.
He went first day.
Everyone turn up.
All the excitement.
All the nerves.
Get it out of the way.
And then we could take.
Because after that.
Everyone was in bed for like 11.
Yeah.
But apparently the first night was a big one.
But we were at Toy Critic.
Well we need to explain all of this.
So the guys there have got a role.
Two roles in the new Toy Story.
Which is Toy Story.
Five.
And it was.
I mean we've spoken.
Have we spoke about it.
But it was the most mad call up in the first place.
Both of us thought it was a prank.
Didn't know each other were in it.
I thought actually Chris.
You were stitching me up.
Because I'd said I wanted to be in a Disney.
Would have been a good one.
It would have been a good one.
I honestly said to my agent.
You can see my pictures.
I was like.
This is Chris Stark.
I was like.
Check that email.
It would be like dusny.com.
So anyway.
Long story short.
This day comes where we're doing a full junket.
I mean Chris look.
You can humour us.
Because you get that we've got three words between us.
Sort of thing.
You're an inflatable flamingo.
I'm a garden gnome.
But what it meant was.
We got a day of pretending.
A bit like you say about pretending to be a footballer.
We got to pretend to be movie stars for the day.
And again.
It's hard to relate.
Unless you've been in this position.
But I think.
I just got to enjoy it.
Yeah you got.
It's exactly that.
Like.
When you think how much.
Say Tom Hanks and Tim Allen have.
To do.
For the movie.
And you come in.
And you get to do one line in it.
But you get to be there.
And getting interviewed.
And doing the junkets.
And being at the premiere.
And all of that.
Yeah.
It's an insane experience.
So junket was weirdest for me.
We were sat there.
So that's people coming and interviewing.
Because it's usually.
Me and Sian.
I know it's so weird.
Me and Sian.
And you.
You know.
We've all done junkets.
Your Miley Cyrus.
Miley Kunis one was famous.
Yeah.
So it's.
We actually.
A lot of them were our mates.
That we know from the circuit.
Jimmy Hill turns up.
All people we've worked with.
And we're sort of all laughing at each other.
Going this is weird.
People walking in.
Going this is weird.
Why are we interviewing you?
So it was just a weird day.
But what kind of questions were you getting?
A lot of games.
Which I liked.
Yeah it was.
Obviously there's not like.
How did you prepare for the role.
And you know what I mean.
Favourite toy was one.
Yeah it was all very nostalgic chat.
Which I kept saying.
And Sian was like.
What the hell are you on about?
My favourite toy was a post office window.
Do you remember that as a kid?
You could pretend to be in a post office.
And you had stamps.
You give people the gyro for a week.
And I was like.
Are you just having a flashback to your first job?
Like underage at like 10.
In Burnaby.
Is that your favourite toy?
Yeah and you've got stamps.
Do you remember Stretch Armstrong?
Or something like that.
I could have gone like that.
Well I tried to give him some of those.
I was like.
Power Rangers.
I was trying to give him some hints.
The ones with the flippy heads.
Power Rangers.
It was weird as well.
And then we did all our.
Our final interview.
Of the day was with.
Sian's other half.
Jake.
Oh yeah.
That was even weirder.
Because he's now working for Anton Deck's company Mitre.
So long story short.
He was also doing a.
So we did something for Belterbox.
So we were just going.
What is today?
It was very.
It was weird.
But you know like normally.
I would say.
When I'm doing anything.
It's always slightly marred.
Like cool experience.
Marred with peak exhaustion.
Or so much workload.
Or stress.
Or weeks of learning something.
And for once.
I woke up on a decent amount of sleep.
I spent all morning.
Just getting ready in a swanky hotel.
And I got to pretend to be Tom Hanks's co-star.
With Jordan.
Like that.
Anyway.
The point is.
It was.
It was a mad moment.
I felt like a competition winner.
And to think we got to do that.
It's like a dream.
Because now.
I mean look.
We're already yesterday's news.
They're already filling in our characters.
Yeah.
Oh yeah yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Because you're like the English.
The English cameo.
Yeah.
The most nerve-wracking bit for me.
Was when we got to the red carpet.
And they were all there.
So it was Tom Hanks.
How mad's that?
Joan Cusack was there.
Greta Lee.
Yeah.
Thank God.
I thought she was in somewhere else.
And I was going to say.
You know how Jordan gets.
Where he gets people mixed up all the time.
I mean.
I'm talking.
They don't have to look anything like the other person.
What was your one this morning?
I was convinced she was in.
And what this morning.
You thought she.
Well you thought Greta Lee was in beef.
It's a good job we didn't say it.
I actually won't say the other one.
In case they're outside there.
I thought.
Well they can't they don't.
I thought.
I got Anastasia this morning.
And Gabrielle mixed up.
I mean.
They couldn't look more different.
But we'll leave that one.
That's just classic Jordan.
So I'm glad she sings wrong.
But we can currently see her.
Yeah.
So I'm glad I didn't say anything to.
Is that her there?
Yeah she's outside.
I thought Anastasia's there.
I'm left outside alone.
Don't because I think this goes out on a speaker.
Oh sorry.
Anyway.
That's a lovely trick.
I don't go out here.
Sorry.
Anastasia's a legend.
I'm left outside alone.
She is a legend.
When there's no one here.
Anyway.
She's there.
Oh my god.
I'm left outside alone.
It's such a fun game.
Because we do this podcast sometimes.
In eye line of people that we are doing impressions of.
We've done this before.
Sometimes they come in say hi.
Yeah.
Donovan Walsh came in.
He went.
I'm bloody off the show.
Anyway.
That's true.
Yeah he did.
Um.
Get on red carpet.
And I felt like it was a Salt Bay of the World Cup moments.
They're all lined up.
And they went.
Go on.
Get on the picture.
I thought.
I thought that was it.
Me and Charlotte just on the edge like.
Oh yeah.
What the.
For the record.
We did not place ourselves there.
No.
We stood there and went.
Oh no.
No.
Obviously.
We were like.
I originally saw the picture.
I thought.
They've helped themselves.
No.
No no no.
I promise you.
They've got movie drunk here.
I promise you.
The PR were like.
Go on.
And we were just on the edge.
No no no.
Don't be silly.
We're not getting in the picture.
And then they literally went.
It was like get in the picture wasn't it.
And they were waiting for us.
And they were going.
Sian come on.
Because Tim and Tom love Sian.
Because she interviewed him.
And they were going.
Sian come on over.
And I'm like.
Hi hi.
And I.
Someone compared my picture.
To Ashley Cole.
Yes.
You know when he.
Was it when.
Chelsea won the Champions League.
No isn't it.
Isn't it the Roma one.
Where he's.
It's the new team photo.
Yeah.
He's on the side.
And he's not.
And he's just standing there.
That's what it felt like.
But honestly.
It was that ridiculous.
Joel Domet just looked at us both.
And laughed didn't he.
We did.
He just looked.
And just went.
You chancers.
He just said.
He didn't even.
He just burst out laughing.
And I was like.
Joel.
Again.
I mean.
Without being too.
Like.
Credit to people like.
Tom Hanks.
Who really could have just been.
Very dismissive.
Couldn't they.
And he took the piss out of me.
In the screen.
And it was great.
Because I said.
It took me two hours.
To do the film.
And he kept going back to me.
For two hours.
Try being a boo for twelve.
Saying there's a snake in my boot.
Apparently takes an age or two.
But yeah.
Hats off.
Lovely people.
Made us feel very welcome.
And for the bit part that we had.
We got to feel like competition winners.
For the day.
Yes.
Frankly.
You've got to be a movie star for the day.
We've got to be a movie star.
Let's do quotes from the notes next.
All right.
Now it's time.
On Capital Breakfast.
After the show show.
To do the quotes from the notes.
This is where Sian Welby.
It's usually Sian.
To be fair.
That writes down little tidbits.
In her notes on her phone.
Stuff that's been said in the studio.
Or even on air.
Sian.
Well this time.
Actually.
I think Maddie wrote this down.
Because she's put.
Is this the song about the munchkin?
And I was thinking.
What is that?
But I did say it.
But it was about Ariana Grande's new song.
I hate that you made me love you.
And I was like.
I think she's singing about that bark.
Bark the munchkin.
From Wicked.
Oh right.
Yeah.
It's called Gingerfella.
Well.
You only told me that they've stopped dating.
Yes.
I believe.
But I think they were dating whilst the movie was on.
I don't know if the song's about him.
But all I could think of was.
Me and bark.
I feel.
We feel like our life's weird.
But she's wrote a song about a munchkin.
Potentially yes.
Yeah.
Have you ever had a song written about you?
Well.
No.
Have you?
No.
Well your reaction suggests that someone has written a song about you once.
Who would write a song about me?
I don't know.
That's what I'm asking you.
I'm going to ask Sian the same in a second.
There's been a lot of press about Mr Tumble this week actually.
Oh my god.
The second.
I did think that.
The second that came out.
I thought.
I cannot believe this.
That started on this podcast.
The Mr Tumble thing.
No.
These rumours about me aren't even real.
But he's in a relationship.
He's in a relationship.
He's in a happy relationship right now so.
You know give him some.
Don't be bitter be better Sian.
The one that got away guys.
Just give me a minute.
No I don't think I've ever had a song written about me.
No.
No have you?
No no no.
But I know a couple of people who have.
Do you?
I think they should be entitled to a cut.
Inspiration?
One of my friends.
Can't say who.
Which is annoying because I don't like saying that but.
One of my friends had a very famous pop star write a song about them.
Oh that's well known.
Is it?
Everyone knows it was Greg.
Oh yeah so we are going to talk about that.
Everyone knows it as well.
So so.
Yeah you know.
Anything can happen.
I didn't know which one it was to be fair.
Anything can happen.
I think that is.
Yeah I think that's well known.
I think so.
We'll check it out.
I always just found that situation amazing.
Because you see people do this.
And you see like Adele do it.
You know when she's talking.
She's singing about her ex and all this sort of thing.
And it's kind of.
What a strange experience that must be to have a pop star do a song about you.
Because these songs live on forever.
Yeah we've got brunch for him on next Friday by the way.
Brunch?
Yeah we'll keep this.
It's like a summit.
You know when like North and South Korea meet at the DMZ.
He'll bring a crew.
It's going to be like Anchorman all over again.
Don't forget that.
Yes that's fine.
But yeah how mad's that if you have a song written about you.
It's really got me thinking now.
Your reaction suggests that someone's written a song about you.
I just meant generally anyone.
Have you ever had an ex try and woo you by music?
Oh I did have a lad on a date once.
He did get the guitar out.
Great.
What he looked to me like.
What did he sing to you?
Oh it was like an oasis or something.
I was like oh please no.
The impression of the man from the in between there.
Oh yeah it was this.
Which one?
The first time.
Oh yeah yeah.
The first time.
It was that.
No I don't think I've had a song.
I know what you're getting at there Starkie.
Anyway let's do another quote from the notes please.
Oh these genuinely.
Maddie has written these.
These seem to be all my quotes here.
Swifties need to be employed by the police.
Now I do mean this right.
All these people that are going on these wild fan theories that end up being correct.
I'm going to say only the correct ones.
Producer Jimmy sadly you wouldn't make the cut for your deep dive on Stranger Things.
We nearly got taken off air.
We're still waiting for.
Oh that's strangest.
That was a real low.
He took us down a rabbit or we got him on air and we nearly got taken off air.
As a show we spent the best part of a week as I remember it.
Theorising.
Claiming.
Fake ending.
That it wasn't the real ending of Stranger Things and that they were about to drop some
special episode and every day there was a new excuse as to why it would be that day.
Every day it didn't happen and then eventually he had to retreat to the idea.
I think he still thinks it's going to happen.
He did say he's still waiting for it.
The problem is.
You two wind each other up.
No I know.
The thing is I was quite on board with it at the beginning because I thought.
But I hadn't seen it so I was like if everyone's kicking off saying this can't be the ending.
I thought how exciting.
I sort of like the drama stuff for a bit but it did get to a point where I was like oh no.
But I sit in between Sian and producer Jimmy.
Little Pete behind the curtain here.
And they.
I don't know if this is just too many years of doing this show at this time.
They are so into the conspiracy theories on everything.
I sometimes stop myself now.
I've realised the error of my ways.
I do like a good question.
I like to query things right.
You like to.
But I do think that recently it's been a hot mess.
Conspiracy have been going mental.
There's been too many I think.
We've all been desperate for something better to be happening.
But long story short.
Don't you think these people that are like obsessed with.
So Taylor Swift wears a red dress and yellow shoes and then she's in Toy Story.
Start working.
Get a job in the FBI.
Work for forensics.
Get a job with MI5.
These people are like a dog with a bone.
That's a great shout.
If you did work out the Taylor Swift thing before it got announced officially.
Think about a career in one of those sort of services.
That's actually such a good shout.
Yeah don't waste that skill you have on working out a pop star's next song.
Put it to good use.
Solve some crimes.
That'd be fantastic.
So yeah that's it.
And what is this one?
Oh I can't say this can I?
Yeah you can.
We're going to have to make a Veruca pool backstage.
No but this is an interesting point.
So what's this about Sian?
We're going to have to make a Veruca.
I've not seen a Veruca pool for donkey's years.
Chris made a comment about the fact it was raining.
And he said well Ray will have to put some shoes on.
It'd be slippy out there.
And I went wait a minute.
So will Fatboy Slim because he does it with no shoes on.
Barefoot performer.
I was like at this point there's too many barefoot performers.
We're going to have to get a Veruca pool.
We will actually to be fair.
That's a great shout at the ball.
Imagine we have that just a little a little paddling pool there.
Do you mind just popping through the Veruca please?
Ray love just pop your trotters in there once you come off will you?
Get down the toes on it.
Ray my love will you just pop your little trotters in there.
There you go.
Fatboy or is it Mr Slim?
Fatboy will you just pop your little feet in there for me my love.
And wash off your feet.
We're worried about Verucas.
Honestly there might be one more artist.
I can't think who it is.
But I think there might be about three people that go barefoot.
Lola Young gives barefoot energy.
No she had a big pair of boots last time.
I remember big heels.
But who would go barefoot?
Niall?
No not Niall.
All right bloody hell.
Why would he?
Why would he be barefoot?
I can imagine with him rolled up jeans and barefoot.
He won't be barefoot.
I just couldn't see it.
What about uh Calvin?
No Calvin Harris won't be.
Oh of all the people though I might put him in that with a pair of linens.
I could put him in that bracket.
I kind of admire it you know.
I honestly believe that the second Ray took her shoes off was a different era.
It was like she was.
I can't explain it.
It's a different confidence.
Imagine coming to work with no shoes on.
Well it's a new confidence.
If anyone is barefoot next week at the ball we'll uh.
I might go barefoot.
We'll report back.
Report back.
All right Anastasia's just made eye contact.
That's us done for today.
We'll be back on Wednesday for our mailbox edition.
