I've 23 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 3: got a fourteen year old daughter and she listen on 24 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 3: Spotify and she'll go from like Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar. 25 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 4: So the other day she was singing. 26 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 3: Along to Vienna by Billy Joel and I was like, 27 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 3: how do you even know this, yeah wow. So you know, 28 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 3: through streaming music and through TikTok, you know, so many 29 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: songs become popular on TikTok or TV shows like Running 30 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 3: Up the Hill Kate Bush. So it's kind of fascinating 31 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: that the younger generation are so aware of all of 32 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 3: the older songs. It actually makes picks and specs a 33 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: bit easier to put together. 34 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. One of finding bizarre is the number of twenty 35 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: two year old baristas are listening to sixties music and 36 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: they know who Marvin Guy and the Beatles are and 37 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: they're choosing the playlist, which is very cool. 38 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: Absolutely in fact, so we've got a segment on the 39 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 3: last leak called secret Song where throughout the show I 40 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: drop hints as to what the secret song is, and 41 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: at the end of the show the teams have to 42 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: try and name it. And half the time we use 43 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 3: them by looking at what's big on TikTok, because nine 44 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: times out of ten it's a song from the seventies 45 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: and eighties that fourteen year olds are listening to as well, 46 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: and we know, well, if it's big on TikTok, everyone's 47 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: going to know it. Well. 48 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: You do want to slap them though, when they come 49 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: and say, oh, have you heard this great song? And yes, 50 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm hearing it for the third time. Round, Actually start, 51 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: don't tell me, please. 52 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 3: Include Rah Rah Resputine, Russia's favorite love machine. 53 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 4: And I have no idea where she first heard that. 54 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 1: I won't hear a bad word against body. That's that's 55 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: quality there. Now the show is returning to its original 56 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: thirty minute format. Is that also because these these kids 57 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: don't have an attention span? What's going on with that? 58 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: Got all your faces covered? 59 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? 60 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 3: Within about the first forty five seconds, we'll scroll to 61 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: a different shows Rolling Bath. 62 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 4: The show was originally billed to be half an hour. Yeah. 63 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: I think getting back to half an hour it's so 64 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: much more fun. It's exactly what it was created for. 65 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: We've already filmed six episodes and they've absolutely flown by, 66 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: so it's yeah, it kind of feels like it's returning 67 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 3: to its original home. 68 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: I think that's good. There's been a lot of you know, 69 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: will streamers and everything. A lot of shows have to 70 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: be in hour long. I love a thirty minute show, 71 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, division exactly exactly. 72 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 4: I am no ad break. 73 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, otherwise it's twelve minutes. 74 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: It amas we know Mith and Ellen are very much 75 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 2: love but also very respected for them music knowledge. But 76 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 2: with myth involved, do you have to avoid questions about 77 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: Eurovision because she'll just clean up? 78 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: Well, we have to avoid Eurovision questions because she'll either 79 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 3: clean up or she'll look ridiculous when she can't remember. 80 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 4: Something happened two months ago. 81 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: That could be a problem.

No melt down. 96 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: No, I've been doing a bit to stand up comedy 97 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: again back in London in February March, and yeah, I. 98 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 4: Thought I'd dip the toe back into the Edinburgh Fringe 99 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 4: Festival again. 100 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, with so much time spent in the UK, do 101 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: you find yourself?
