We're going to join We're not gonna tell them just yet.

And I am you look at shoe and okay, okay, when we come back, we're gonna have S clubs John and Brad Let's see what they've been up to and let's fangirl all over.

Them all right.

S Club formerly known as S Club seven, British pop group formed in nineteen ninety eight. They're originally comprised of Tina, Paul, John Bradley, Johannah and Rachel. S Club seven were formed by the former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, who signed them to Polydor Records. The band was heavily influenced by Tupac and Biggie and they rose to fame with their BBC See they did get it.

They got it, thank you.

See the ladies just kind of like sure that that's exactly.

They went with the flow.

And they rose to fame with their BBC television. Miami seven aimed at that young audience. Within five years, they achieved four UK number one singles, UK number one album, several successful singles in Europe, and top ten single on the US Hot one hundred Never Had a Dream Come True, which was a huge, huge hit. They have sold more than ten million albums worldwide. Miami seven lasted four seasons and was watched over by ninety million viewers. Now S Club is back for a reunion tour and you can

Guys, Hey, thank you so much for having us.

Yeah, of course, one super excited that we're going to be able to get to see you on tour again. But let's take it back a little bit. We asked the ladies what it was like auditioning for S Club seven, What was your experience like, how did you hear about the auditions and what was that tradition like.

So it was in a like the stage newspaper here and here in the UK, which like an industry paper. And I was looking for colleges at the time because I was only fifteen. I was taking my exams at the time, and there was a little advert in there for it. So I just took myself along sang She's Out of My Life by Michael Jackson.

I got put through to the next round and did a couple more and that was it.

And then they just said, oh, we need to wait, we need to find a few more people to come and get involved. And that was with Hannah at the time and with Paul, so we were the first three and then I think you guys.

Yeah, I came later on. I was one of the last members to join, but me, I was. My mom and dad were in a band in the eighties called the corn Notes. So my dad had a recording studio at the house and some people that he was working with at the time. I met someone from maybe some full of from the management company and said, my son Sing. I met my friend's son sings, and they said, one you get him to come along to the audition. So

So yeah, yeah, I mean, growing up in a musical family, I could see you know the direction that you wanted to take. But did you, John, did you grow up in a in a musical family?

No, not at all.

My family are all in They're all builders, my dad or my uncles, my two brothers, they're all in the building industry. So the odd one out when I started pirouetting around the living room.

Yeah, I was really meant to have a hammer in my hand.

I think.

Yeah, I mean that's a very hyper masculine industry. Exactly what what what did your dad think of? And You're like, yeah, I'm going to join this pop group and go to around the world singing and dancing.

My dad was probably my number one fan.

Absolutely, he was my number one fan, definitely.

Yeah.

It came way in everything I've ever done. John was in the West End at like fifteen years old.

Yeah, He's like, yeah, yeah.

What I mean. So look, I joineddn't think when I was sixteen, so I get what it's like. But I feel like where I'm from in America, in Mississippi, where you know, a sixteen year old is kind of like a twelve year old. Like, we're not we don't really know much about the world. We're very sheltered. And then we immediately moved over to Germany, where everything was an open book, you know, and I had to I had to learn about the world very quickly and grew up

I think working working in the theater to begin with gave me a lot of discipline, you know, because like if.

You if you couldn't do it, you were out and there were someone to take a place.

So you're kind of had to have that mentality and you were treated like an adult.

I guess you gave him a lot of responsibility.

And then coming into S Club, Yeah, we're just you're so busy all the time, as you know, just this one thing after another after another after another.

So you just you just roll on this brain, but you're you're sort.

Of sheltered and protected at the same time, like a management company always kept this sort of very protected from the outside world, if you will.

Yeah, Brad, do you remember what you auditioned with? What song did you audition with?

It was a Drew hillsong?

Okay you Yeah, I even did the dance through to do like a little like a two step jump type and I did that any audition, you know, like yeah.

Like he's in immediately.

Yeah, it was great.

I mean there was I think ten thousand applicants to our audition for S Club seven, and I mean y'all, y'all made the cut. Did y'all realize how huge that was in the moment?

Well? I mean, and then the audition actually spanned out to Europe as well.

I think the original idea was to have like, you know, people from all over the world in the group, and then then they changed it and just had people from the UK. But I mean just just having someone you know, Simon Fuller was the Spice Skills manager, so that alone was just huge, you know, working with them, and they were the biggest group in the in the world at the time, one of the biggest Gale groups.

So you know, yeah, you knew it was going to be big.

Yeah, but still even you can really comprehend, you don't know what it is until you've actually experienced it.

It like, you know what I mean, Like you don't understand how big.

I remember Simon putting us to one side just before our first single was released and he just said, remember this moment because your lives will never be the same yeah again after this minute, and he was right.

And having a TV show as well separated us from most pop groups in the UK.

You know, that was crazy And I never had any acting experience before that, so it was just being thrown into deep end.

Yeah.

Yeah, and it's the television element really is such a I mean, you're kind of the first of our era to do something like that. And and all the bands that came like after us in Backstreet Boys, it was always because the television element that just blew them up. We had the Jonas Brothers, we had O Town, we had Danity Kine, just all these groups. I mean, you really got to know that.

And a lot of solo artists Miley Cyrus.

Grande, they had that Disney Channel behind them, right, so the fans really felt like they knew you. I mean that they're just they that you were family to them. So I think that's that's kind of the key these days. You know, if you want to like have success in music, you gotta have some kind of other element to it, like another platform like television, not just.

To do just to be a singer anymore.

But I guess we're getting a lot of that through TikTok these days. That is kind of many television shows for a lot of artists.

Well true, yeah, I mean, but basically you have to have a huge social media following even to be even to be remotely signed.

They're like, oh, you don't have a million followers, Well you're amazing. We don't want to develop you, you know.

Yeah, you know, we came up in the era where you didn't need that stuff, you know exactly. I miss those days. I did miss it.

It is different, you know, there's some things I miss and some things I don't. I don't miss that. You know, back in our day, we uh you know, when you come out with a single, you would spend three four months on the road promoting that side, going to every radio station. You just had to hustle. Now you don't have to do that no more.

You're just like, we want to sing, we want to perform.

But then you spend so many months just promoting and promoting.

Exactly, and a lot of times that is out of side, out of mind, because all of a sudden you're on the you know, east part of the country, and then everyone on the way is kind of forgotten about you because you were there two months ago. Yeah, it's just so much easier now, just put it on TikTok there true.

And now people have like three singles out of it at the same time.

I went on. So I'd like to know, how much input did you all get to have at the beginning of S Club and the image was that all fuller or did y'all say no, I kind of want to have this image.

We kind of had.

We had sort of say over our individual image like we were you know, we were never told like you have to wear this, or you have to have your hair a certain way or anything.

It wasn't like that regimented.

But obviously, you know, we have to be cohesive as well, So there was sort of like a theme, I guess, and you kind of had to fit into that theme, but it was you know, your own individual take on that whatever it might be.

Yeah, I know, I was.

Like the songwriting and stuff. I mean in the beginning, it happened so quickly, you know. When I joined the band, that was one of the last members, me and Joe, and at that point you'd been in the band for quite some time, so everything was in place. So once they were they had me and Joe, we literally we was flown to America, was and the TV show was ready to go. We started filming straight away and promoting

Some songwriting, which was great.

But but yeah, we we had we had a little bit of input, a little bit.

Yeah, I know, uh, you know we're talking about images. Did y'all have to go through it? Because when Spice Girls came out, you know, there was no baby Spice and all that. The media kind of created that and kind of put these, you know, themes onto these ladies. Did y'all feel that happened to you guys too? Once y'all became you know, famous in the magazines that were like, oh that's the shy one, Oh that's the crazy one, did you start getting to these stereotypes a little bit?

I think the TV show sort of helped sort of separate our characters kind of.

Thing, you know what I mean, So like, yeah, versions of ourselves, you know, Like I was the ladies man, you know, and John was like the you know, the tomboy and a cute one. Uh it was the cute one. And Rachel was the one that would like fashion and stuff like yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that's so funny. So you were in the thick of the early two thousands, bucket hats, space buns, frosted tips, bandanas. Are there any fashion regrets that you have looking back at your group?

Oh uh, so many.

I mean I was I was always invest in the do rag and a bandana.

My fashion is really basic. Yeah that's not bad.

Yeah, you guys actually weren't that bad. Now. You actually were dressed like you were you You were appropriately coordinated.

You were clothes that like people on the street would wear like and think, you guys.

Know, we we were horrible.

Yeah, we did look like we shopped on the high street. We shopped at like regular.

Yeah exactly, I know.

You guys look like you're just like, okay, you have twenty seconds. You got to run into store and grab as many things as you can and then just put them all on and that's.

Her, and make sure that they're extra extra large everything.

Yes, and make sure there's a turtleneck and a fur jacket and some like snake pants.

Addude.

Done.

That's basically there was seven of us that we had less budget, you know, between seven and you've only got like fifty dollars to go.

Yeah, it so was like we're gonna be simple, yeah and chic.

See I was always the worst because I didn't care back. I care now like I love fashion now, but when I was a teenager, I did not care at all. So I'd be the last one to come and be like, sure, just put me in the last thing that's on the rack, which now looking back, was not the best decision at all.

You know, it's not.

What's your absolutely favorite memory of the of the early years, I'd say for me.

You know, we performed for the Queen on the fiftieth Jubilee, which was an incredible, incredible event.

I was there, actually he was there, sure.

Brian May on the guitars from Queen and from Phil Collins on the drums, and we performed with Sir Cliff Richard as well, and just to yeah, this is such an incredible event that was.

That was two thousand and two, I believe right that, Yeah, because I just happened to be in town that weekend, because that's when I was living in Russia and I had a weekend. I'm like, you know what, I'm going to England. I'm going to go to the jubilee, and I don't remember half of it, because man, you'll know how to party over there during a jubilation lots of jubilation, and I'm blame it on the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Get wasted? Someone come on as yeah, party man.

I was trying to, you know, prove something.

You know, Yeah, I might be in a boy band.

I'm all man, someone the pop stars used to party the hardest.

It's true, I know, yeah, I know.

Yeah, isn't it weird? I mean being the guys in a group, and especially a pop group. You know, back in the nineties, early two thousands, you know, we were always made fun of, you know, the guys were too cool for school. But now I feel twenty years later, the guys are coming out being like, all right, I could admit it. I like, you guys, are y'all feeling that now? The second round?

Yeah, we've got Like there's people we do interviews with now who back in the day, they wouldn't play our music. You know, they wouldn't really write anything nice about us. We were cheesy?

Would that? Now they called us pop royalty?

Yeah, legends, pop royalty like the tables legend.

A manufactured band, and now it's now it's pop legends.

Yeah, yeah, exactly, legendary status achieve. I can't when y'all started with a group, did y'all ever expect it to get to legend status? No?

God No.

If you just said to me twenty five years ago, in twenty five years, you'll still be singing these songs, You'll be doing another concert and people will be paid to come and see you, I would have said you were crazy.

I mean, there were so many bands we've seen come and go and and I haven't lasted like us, you know, and yeah, so's it's definitely an honor man still be here.

What are your true feelings about all the S Club seven television shows? You had, Miami seven, l A seven, Viva s Club and even the movie Seeing Double? So what what what did y'all think of all of those? Would you have a favorite series?

I can't actually remember that.

I've got a son, and I've said when he gets a little bit older, I'll go back and watch some of the some of the shows. But I mean the acting was definitely a bit cringe to start with, one hundred percent.

You know, we didn't know what we were doing, but we had fun. That's the main thing.

Come across, you know, we come across just like a bunch of young kids having a lot of fun.

So, well, Brad, do you have a kid, John, or do you have kids?

No? No, no, no, I'm not stupid.

So you're the lucky one. You're the lucky one the ladies. But you know, I had no idea that as in sync we would be doing anything at all anymore. So it's just such a it's such a gift that my kids are gonna be able to see us, you know, do music and that type of stuff. Did you ever think that your kid would ever be able to see you on stage?

Ah? Man, I know, but he he's.

Definitely going to be I think he wants to be like, you know, like his daddy. You know, he definitely he's got it. He's got something right, He's got something there. I've got the studio in my house, and let me tell you a quick story. Actually, he likes to rap, right, So I've got friends that wrap. We get in the studio, we do a little you know, throwing some bars and stuff. He never really heard me sing that much, you know, So I said, look, can you do this? Because he

Definitely got that musical you know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so, but it's brilliant that he's going to get an opportunity to see us in, you know.

On the big stage. He's super excited. He's so exciting.

S I mean, it must be so exciting to see him, you know, love music like that. But it also might be a little scary to know that he might go into this industry.

I know, yeah, I don't know how I feel about that just now, but yeah.

Yeah, yeah, but at least Dad, I mean, you've you've gone through it, right, so you can give him some really great advice because I think a lot of the times when a lot of us started and teenagers, our families had no idea about the industry, so they could not tell us what to expect. So I'm glad that he'll have someone like you to say Nope, don't do that, or.

If he decides to go down that road, yeah sure.

Yeah yeah. Now you were so popular they even had a competition show esque club search to find junior versions of yourself S Club eight. I'm telling y'all you are the original Kate Pop by the way, like you are the first group to have more than five and so, so what did you think about this competition did? Were y'all involved in that at all?

Yeah? We were.

Yeah, it was like a TV show here in the UK and we did the final, like the final few rounds and I think.

It started off as just an opportunity for see young kids to perform with one of our gigs. Yeah, but because the TV show was like a few weeks and they built up quite a fan base. So what happened that the record company saw saw potential and then decided to actually sign them and sting.

Yeah exactly, and then signed them up and.

They did really well. They did really well and they worked really hard.

So yeah, and they're amazing that used to see them the most beautiful adults, like from like twelve year old kids that this gorgeous like thirty year olds some of them, I mean pretty much really successful today.

You know they're working in the West End.

Yeah, it took your gigs now, are y'all is it the same situation now as it was when you first signed do y'all have the same management, same record label, Like, is it all the same people behind you guys?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was one of the reasons why I kind of agreed to come back and do it, because it was the same team, it was familiar, it was family. There's a there's a lady called Gayla who was with us on a day to day basis back in the day, and she's now sort of I guess you would say, executally producing the tour.

And that was the main reason for.

Me saying, yeah, absolutely, I do it, because it's just it's not just the band, as you know, there's loads of the people behind the scenes that works so hard.

And it's all about your team, and it's so great you had, I mean seemingly such a good experience with your team because there are so many groups, especially groups that are put together in.

Groups, you know, just taking advantage that are taken advantage of you guys, and so many American groups.

Oh, I know we had a loop Perlman. And thank god y'all didn't have a loop Perrolman, I don't think. But yeah, because.

David, David, Josie, you know, and still who's still still ye, still there, still working with us today familiar with those guys.

Yeah, that's great, you are very very lucky now. S Club officially split in two thousand and three. Now I never knew what led to that decision. Was there one person was like, I can't do this anymore.

I think it was sort of a fifth year of doing the round, you know what I mean.

So we would do the same sort of routine.

You'd release an album which we had three singles on it, which you promote, and then we'd finish and we'd do a tour and then we'd record the TV series and then we do it again.

And so by the fifth year of doing that, we were like.

And also the music industry in the UK was changing, so there was cold Play and those kind of bands were coming to the forefront and pop music was taking a bit of a back seat. So it was kind of like we can bow up gracefully now rather than just on a high note exactly.

Which which me and I say that a lot too, Like we didn't know we were ending as a group, but I'm so glad that we ended at a high, like right on top, because you're kind of left there, like if you if you die early, you're just always kind of kept up here by the fans, which hindsight now twenty years later, it's been great for both of our groups because now the fans were just so hungry for it and they just remember you, you know where

Your legend exactly.

Oh, we're all legends. I love this.

Legends only, yeah, legends only, all.

Right, Paris. Now there was a reunion in twenty fifteen, but now you're back together again hitting the road. Whose idea sparked this whole reunion.

It was actually Simon Simon, Yeah, Simon Fuller. He got in contact with all of us.

He said, you know, it's the twenty fifth anniversary coming up, like by email, emailed all of us, would you like to kind of get back together? How do we feel about it? And it took us a few months just kind of yeah, so out and everyone was like yeah, why not, let's.

Go for it, let's do it.

Yeah, and still.

Still blown away that you release tickets and twenty five years like yeah, people.

It's always nerve wrecking, you know, it's always nerve wrecking. When you announce it.

Tour tickets, you know, you know it's going to go down. But now we sold out the O two in like minutes. Wow, Now I know we will be added like extra day. So we're doing free, free, free shows at the O two.

That's that's amazing.

It is so amazing. And now is the time, like, okay, our our age fans, they're loving it. But now their kids are into this now. And instead of the kids being like, I don't want to listen to mom and dad's music, this is the first generation. It's like, we love this music more than mom and dad.

It is right, But don't you think though, like the music now I'm going to sound like a real old man, but music nowadays, when we were, when we were younger, the music we put out, it was great for kids. There's not a lot of four kids of course now to listen you know everything now we're overly sexual.

Yeah, it's everything's very vulgar now.

Yeah, and the square and never everything swearing and yeah the love songs of yeah they love some swearing.

And yeah, yeah I never understood that. It's like just you know, curse, just curse. I just think that's just I don't know, it's not very it's not very poetic, but it doesn't.

Now.

I mean, obviously the fans you know, are going crazy to you how, I mean, how does it feel? What would you like to tell your fans right now that have just been sticking with y'all this many years, and I.

Just thank you, and you know, for there's a port We've got some great fans and they're just so supportive, and we just loved so much. Man, we wouldn't be we wouldn't be sicking. They having these conversations today maybe, you know, if it wasn't for them. So I'm so excited to come to America.

But and do our tour for the first time, the first time shows in America. That was already nerve wracking thing to put that out there for the first time.

We never really got to do a lot of shows in America. We did a show with you guys. I think it was like a Teen Choice Teen.

Choice, yeah, the Teen Choice Awards.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was in New York, I think, and you guys were lovely, by the way, you know, we were just like these little Bridge kids. And I remember being in some room upstairs in the backstage and you guys are just so friendly, so it made us feel comfortable. Yeah, but we never really toured America, so this will be the first time we get a chance to kind of directly meet some of the fans and reach out and do a show.

Feet.

I'm so excited. Look, we love the UK, but we love that you're touring US and Canada. You're gonna becoming to Los Angeles, so you're gonna be seeing this face at your show. Oh yeah, we're so excited because your fans really have I mean, your name comes up a lot. I mean the last I mean, I've been doing radio show for like fifteen years now and S Club seven comes up a lot with the fans begging me, like you've got to have them on. You got it? You know.

I know, I know you guys out there know how to party, right, So, I mean even when you go to the cinema and I've been to the I've been to the cinema in America.

It was like.

We're kind of loud in the man sometimes he is prittyant as well.

But I just I just know the energy is gonna be amazing.

And what I think is gonna be a little different with the tour, you know, because a lot of your fans are now parents and they're just some of their kids are finally out of the house. I have a feeling there's gonna be a lot more like White Girl Wasted, you know type situations happening at the show.

Yeah.

So I think there's gonna be lots of fun stories of just seeing things go down. I think there's gonna be a lot of divorces happening throughout their tear Okay, yeah, it's the divorce tour.

Yeah.

It's like they come back home, they drunk, and then they get a fight with the husband. He's like, no, you chose S Club over me. This is not happening. Yeah, So what do y'all think about ending relationships?

I'm all for it. Yeah, don't come here.

So does this mean S Club is going to stay reunited or is this just kind of a farewell tour for us? Or do y'all plan on, you know, still doing this.

I feel like we're in a really good place right now, and we'd like to see where it's closed, you know, so new music and you know, maybe take the show some some of the places around Europe. Yeah, maybe to Australia and New Zealand and even Yeah, so I'd love to. At the end of the day, it's not to us.

It is up to the fans, like the fans my tickets, if they want to come as if they want to still see us. If they don't want to see us any more, then that's true a bit. But if they still want to see us.

It's true. The fans shape your future. They tell you what to do. Not only do they tell you what to do, but they're telling everyone they don't know about, like the record labels, the producers, the managers. You know, they're the ones listening to the fans and they control everything.

Yeah, to send lots of is to Universal Music saying how much new album?

Like everyone. That's right your feature.

There you go, there you go, all right. Tour questions for you both, what's the most unique or surprising fan gift you've received while on tour.

I can tell you were weird, something weird that happened one time. There was there was a guy.

I mean, he was he's got to be about fifty fifty plus, and he was carrying a teddy bear and he wanted everyone to kiss his teddy bear.

Oh yeah, but I'm guy. That's like, I'm not trying to judge, you know, And.

Then y'all kiss and he's like, haha, I farted on that the whole time.

Congratulations, that's why you.

Don't have a Yeah, he's like a wife.

God, all right, there's no Yeah. The tour bus playlist is essential. Can you share some of the songs that kept you pumped up during the journey.

To bus Vibes Two bus playlists. I'm a massive fan of the Cardigans. The Grand album is one of my favorite albums, so I would definitely have that on my headphones at some point.

I'm more chill out these days, you know. I play a lot of chill out music. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm just at a moment I keep playing Christopher Cross Sailing on repeat.

Oh, that's a classic. It was one of our We covered that one on our first album, and it's one of my favorite covers we've ever done. It's incredible, and in fact, I said what we did an award show where we performed with Christopher Cross and God it was early on in our career because I remember we were wearing outfits that I mean, we were a lot because

Story that I know.

Now I'm looking back and like, well, maybe I should have given her a little knock, just because it might have propelled.

Here a lot faster pop culture history that time.

When lan kick, like break a nail, like she doesn't think, oh yeah, yeah, a slight little yeah. Who is the early bird and who's the night owl?

Joe's always like, Joe's always up early. She's always up for like six in the morning for some reason. The Lord, you're the night out.

Yeah, I definitely used to be in the night out.

Now that I've got a six year old, I'm not as not as bad, but I still know how to part.

You know, when the time is right, you will find me day I'll be one, Yeah, I mean, I feel like to be no kid with me on this tour, so.

That is out to play. Yeah, it's I think most musicians are just night outs because that's when our shows are. That's when you're creative and right in the middle of the night, and then you get to the next city and it's four in the morning. But yeah, now having the kid, I'm trying to become a morning person. But it's been two years and it's still hard for me to get up, Like I just I don't know when it's gonna change. So now that your kid is six, does it get easier waking up in the morning.

Uh, It's just all about routine, you know, you get I'm in and out, so sometimes you know, if I'm in a good routine, it's it gets easier. But then obviously then you have late nights, you have you have a show or studio session and then straight away and especially if you have a drink with it, you know, then you know, especially have a heavy night drinking, you know, yeah, late, and then you can fall into bad habits again.

But yeah, I mean, I don't know's you're enough of that.

I think all right, let's give some frosted tips here. You guys have been on tour with the ladies and this group. What tips do you have for guys who are trying to impress a girl? What do they need to know? I feel like I'm asking this question when you're like eighteen years.

Old, right?

How do you pick up the good girls?

Like it when you listen to them? That's the biggest thing. Don't come over with your toplines and lot of stuff.

Listen. If you listen and ask them about.

Them fair enough, I think that they prefer that rather than you coming on too strong in my opinion.

But in my opinion, I mean that sounds good to me. Our female producer says, yes, she's I.

Mean, I'm out of practice, man. I've been my missus for about eleven years now. So yeah, how did you meet her? How did I meet? Well? I actually met her at gay club to be honest with you.

A friend of mine a friend that there's a band called j Less in the UK, and my friend is a friend of one of the one of.

The band members who were performing at this club called Heaven.

So we we went down to watch the guys perform and we bumped into these girls in the queue and we ended up just hanging out with them at the place and back in the day when you know BlackBerry pin you know BlackBerry pins and stuff, and we were just talking. We just we became really good friends. We became really close friends, and it just organically happened.

You know.

Normally I would put it I'll put it down hard on girls, but in this one, I was like, well, we we were just friends and then it just turned into a beautiful food.

That's how they always. I mean because my husband and I, Michael, we were friends first. We were friends for like best friends for a month before we knew we liked each other. And that's the first time any relationship ever started out like that for me. So obviously it works because I was not expressing it.

Friend, let's try that.

It's great, all right, let's do a little this or that. All right, We're gonna go with uh flip phone, BlackBerry or sidekick?

What's sidekick? Was like? It was like this, It was like a yeahd video games.

There's some countries that are not funny looking at you Australia and and you know Canada, you're real sweet. But the comedy doesn't really hit what American UK does.

My best friend is my dog Lolly.

I rescued her went to India a few years years ago, and she was a little beach dog. She was very sick and I cared for I stayed in India for about three years to look after.

Her, and then I brought her back to the UK. So she is my love, my life.

That's like a movie. I'd watch that film.

I would watch that film. So if you're listening, fans, tell like, this needs to be made into a movie.

It could be a sequel to your first Exactly Club And so it starts off with that storyline where all the rest of the group is trying to find you because you're somewhere in India off the grid.

But that's that's true.

No one was like, we want to do this reunion tours. Anyone got a number for John?

Great? Yeah, I disappeared for about four years. No one kne where I was. True, I was on the beach in India.

But how great? Would does that? Must feel great just to disappear and just I would love it was?

A couple of fan questions before I let you go. Letting ten wants to know what was your favorite episode from any of the TV shows?

Oh, yeah, I remember, I say what The film was great? I love that I do. Anyone remember I remember the movie?

There's an episode where met where me and Joe dress up as hot dogs and burgers and that was quite fun. We sent them on a compere I remember, just because it was a fun day. Everyone's watching us like, who are these crazy British people. That's when we had our land lady was Linda Blair?

What city do you prefer more? Miami or Los Angeles?

Los Angeles?

Yeah?

For me because I've spent so much more time in Los Angeles. That's not more like Miami was.

We was only there for three months, but Los Angeles we were there for a couple of years on and off, so that definitely does up.

Yeah. I find many musicians now choose l A a lot to come base themselves. A lot of British acts are here, you know, Dell, Harry Styles, you know, I mean, even the Princess here, Leona Lewis. It used to be New York where everyone if you're in music like that's that was the hub you had to be in New York. Now I feel like LA is now just a haven for musicians, which I like better because the weather's better.

Yeah, he's your lifestyle living in New York.

I mean it is, it's a way easier lifestyle. Yeah, New York. You gotta. You got to hustle more than anything in New York, like you survived, Yeah New York.

Pe Nuts ten fifteen wants to know what are some of your pre show rituals.

We never really had a really We used to sometimes we have a little chant together and kind of like put our hands together and stuff, but you never really did much.

White house, get that pump, yeah, go.

Through no no, no no. I might have a gloss of one before go on the stage. That might be my ritual last one minute.

Yeah.

I wish we did like push ups or something.

Though.

We would do hacky sack, which we all were horrible at. So there were time and we could not go on stage unless we've had just one hacky right, just everyone had to touch it one time. It's all you had to do, not that hard. Sometimes we would delay the show a good twenty thirty minutes because either Joey or I could not hit that damn thing so bad, and then we would say a prayer and go on stage. So that was like our good ritual stuff, all right, John, Brad,
