0:00
Apparently they're the best boy band ever, live
0:02
Well, no, don't know about that. It would probably be, don't put the amount of members in your title
0:11
Because it can prove to be problematic. It can be problematic when it comes to reunions
0:17
I thought you were going to say because of the splits. That's what I was thinking
0:22
I'm pleased to report we have all five of VODES. Yeah, we've had no fights whatsoever and we've rehearsed
0:36
You all remember each other's names? Do you remember dance moves? We do now
0:41
Oh, we're like a well-oiled machine now. We have been grafting. We will come to the tour shortly
0:50
I'll ask you that, Jay. Does it feel different now back together? or is it just like the last 15 years
0:57
A bit of both, honestly. Things are a lot better. The whole thing runs a lot better
1:02
because of the people that we've got around us, because of our mindsets now
1:07
But there is a really lovely thing that we all really do become the people
1:12
that we were all the way back then. So if you're in a room with all five of us
1:16
we're going to behave today, but we do genuinely regress to being
1:19
kind of like teenagers when we're together. Well, I was going to say, It's lovely. It's really nice
1:24
Older, wiser. Older and a little bit wiser. I think we've got a better appreciation for each other now
1:29
So I was dreading rehearsals because I was remembering the past rehearsals
1:35
And I was remembering that, you know, we were a little bit sort of raucous and stuff like that
1:38
We went in and we honestly have nailed it, boys. You've been focused
1:42
Yeah, we have. It's still being raucous. That's not true. Let's not flag people
1:46
That's not true. We've got our stuff together. Do you think that focus has come from a lot of you being dads now
1:52
and you've got toddlers to deal with and stuff. Yeah. Well, yeah, it does help when you're dealing with Jane
1:56
Is there a naughty step? Richie, is there a naughty step that you can put anyone on for time out
2:01
No, there's not a naughty step, but if you didn know us you think that we were proper falling out We screaming at each other but real You got to be able to be straight with people I always think That proper friendship Yeah absolutely yeah End of the 90s that was like peak boy band
2:16
What made you different? I think we were just exactly as you, what you see is what you get
2:21
There was no holds barred. If we had a little something to say to each other that maybe wasn't very PC
2:27
we'd say it regardless of who was around and what was going on. and that didn't really always work out for us in the best
2:33
but we kind of, we've always just been that, and I love that we are that
2:37
because you know where you are, you know where you stand. Yeah, we're honest with each other. We're an honest band
2:40
Yeah, we kept it. And I'm right, Richie, in saying that you guys were offered
2:46
Hit Me Baby One More Time, which is arguably the biggest pop single of all time, am I right
2:52
It's not, this has slightly been misconstrued. Okay. So what happened was Simon Cowell was our record company
2:58
Who? Simon Cowell, have you heard of him? You know him. You know him. It's this bloke that knocks about the industry sometimes
3:04
It's not done bad. It's a small time. It's not done bad. It's trousers, right? They used to be
3:09
He heard the song. He was doing the rounds, kind of labels and stuff like that
3:13
He heard it and he said, this has got to be a five song. He contacted Max Martin and said
3:17
I'll buy you the most top of the range merch. I want it, I want it, I want it
3:21
He'd already promised it to some unknown American artist that was up and coming by the name of Britney Spears
3:27
and he said, yeah, I've already promised it, sorry, you know, it's already done
3:31
and that's that. We did turn down Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC
3:36
The reason being, they played it to us, we were in the studios in Chiron
3:40
and we heard it and we went, it doesn't sound like us, it sounds like NSYNC
3:44
Which my daughter disagrees with, she's 11 and she's not having it
3:48
She's like, you should have sung this, Dad. She's not an NSYNC fan, is she
3:53
I think she does prefer Backstreet Bros and NSYNC to us, I think. After the tar, I'm going to try and hang that up
4:00
Are all the kids going to go with you? Because I love it when you see, when you saw the Spice
4:04
Girls and other bands like that, I love it when their kids all are in the wings coming
4:08
on stage. Do any of them play or sing? Yeah a little bit My eldest son Brennan he 24 he plays the guitar and sort of writes a bit but he travelling away at the moment in Thailand but he coming back for the tour
4:22
The twins are really excited, my other son, Kevin, they can't wait. My wife's like, just get them to the tour, they can't wait
4:27
It's the Keep On Moving tour, tickets are on sale now, it kicks off in Cardiff
4:32
This is a big deal. I know, this is an epic. These are big shows. They are big shows. We started with the 13 dates, not knowing where that would take us
4:38
and the fact that they sold out so quickly and now 25 dates is incredible
4:43
Incredible. Now, what we wanted to do, we thought we'd get in touch, obviously get a lot of messages from fans
4:49
We thought we'd get in touch with a couple of them and you can maybe give them tickets
4:54
Here's the thing, however, you can't reveal who you are. Okay. Put on a voice or something
5:00
No, don't put on a voice for all intents and purposes. If you were Westlife, I'd probably say put on a voice
5:05
There might be a bit of it. I want you to pretend that you work here
5:09
and you're doing some research about Five and just ask them a couple of questions
5:14
and then we'll see if they can spot who you are. Emma's a huge Five fan, so we're going to give her a call
5:19
You just pretend that you work on the show. Fingers crossed she can't spot who you are, okay? All right, let's give it a go. Here we go
5:27
Hello. Hello, is that Emma? It is, yes. Hello, good morning. Hi there, my name's Dave
5:33

5:42
and we hear you're happy to answer a few questions. Is that right? Yeah, absolutely
5:47
All right, so if we could just ask you, who's your favourite member of the band
5:52
That would have to be Jay. Fantastic. I'd have to be Jay
5:57
B-J. And why is that? Well, when I was a little bit younger, just took a shine to him, just really liked him
6:03
Fantastic, fantastic. He is a fine specimen of a man isn't he? He is, yes
6:08
And have you ever seen Five perform live before? I have not, no, so this will be my first time
6:14
Fantastic. Oh, that's brilliant. I hear they're very, very good live. Yeah
6:18
Apparently they the best boy band ever live Well no don know about that Oh really who have you seen then My favourite is Aha So they my first favourites

7:46

8:23
