    Splash! We're back! This time we have a special anniversary episode celebrating TWO YEARS of the McWho podcast. In honor of how far we've come, we decided to revisit (and rerecord) our first episode, Five Colors in Her Hair. And if you think you've heard all we have to say on that, think again: Though we return to some of our favorite topics (hellooooo Tom's eyebrows!!) and repeat some old jokes (seriously, why is Danny wearing two short-sleeved shirts?), we've also got a lot of new insight on never-before-asked questions: Like, is it even possible to be happy without McFly? Does anyone actually miss low-rise jeans? Would you rather have a giant (15ft) Dougie in your life or a tiny (6in) Dougie and why? Thanks for two years of listening and laughter, Galaxy Defenders. We can't wait to see you again soon with Above the Noise.

    Our first bits & bobs episode, where we wrap up the Room on the Third Floor era by discussing anything from that time period that wasn't on the studio album, including B-sides and covers. We rank our favorite B-sides (spoiler: it involves a lot of hating on the Beatles, whoops?), discuss the OG McBusted songs from before McFly/Busted collabs even had a name, and--most exciting of all--interview some McFly fans about their earliest memories.

    It's the battle of the slow jams versus surf rock bops as Stephanie and Sam consider the top five best songs from McFly's freshman album. In addition to singing badly and gushing over James Bourne, we uncover a lot of questions: Is broccoli just a euphemism? Who has dirtier minds, Brits or Americans? What is the best song on this album?
