The New Music Frid-eh? Interview: Gogglebox's Stephen and Chris

WOOOOOOO. It's that glorious time of the week once more.

Well, yes Friday but it's also . The best of all the Fridays.

To celebrate, we grabbed Stephen Webb and Chris Steed off Gogglebox to be hit with our ridiculously random New Music Frid-eh? interview questions, which have nothing to do with the playlist except a vague resemblance to the track titles.

Eh?

EXACTLY.

Bring Me The Horizon - Oh No

Name something or someone that is super popular than makes you think OH NO...

Chris: Politics!

Stephen: I don’t get the question! Ha-ha! You know what I do love that I didn’t used to get are emojis. Now that your phone predicts them and the little guy with the sunglasses pops up. It’s amazing!

Chris: I don’t get the Kardashians? Like, why are they even famous? I just think they are pointless.

Stephen: They are very pretty though! You know what I don’t get? The weather after the news. We all have it on our phones now. You should tell the weather people at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. That could save them a bit of money.

Busted - On What You're On

Which show have you refused to watch on Gogglebox?

Chris: We wouldn't watch a show about dog cruelty. Anything to do with animal cruelty.

Stephen: I can’t even watch those adverts! Even For The Love Of Dogs is hard to watch.

Chris: Even Supervet! I like Supervet but that sad ones are too much.

Cashmere Cat - Trust Nobody (feat. Selena Gomez & Tory Lanez)

Name one celebrity that you would never trust with a secret…


Chris: Oh Katie Price, she tells everything, doesn’t she?

Stephen: Katie Hopkins. You wouldn’t tell her nothing would you?

Chris: Oh and I wouldn’t tell Stephen a secret. He’s got the biggest mouth.

Stephen: I’m terrible! But when someone says to you ‘don’t tell anyone but…’, someone has already told them! So I’m just like DO NOT tell me.

Chris: He told someone, that I was considering having as a groomsmaid, that they were going to be one. Before I had decided!

Stephen: I gave her the heads up. I said ‘look, babes, you are going to be in the spotlight, drop a stone.’

Chris: I since decided that she wasn’t right for the role.

Niall Horan - My Town

If we were visiting Brighton, what would you do with us?


Stephen: Go on a big night out! And we could on the new [British Airways] i360.

Chris: If it doesn’t break down!

Stephen: Apparently it broke down and there was 70 people that asked for their money back because there was a man in there with flatulence and they said about four people were sick. So we could take you there…

Chris: I think you’ve bent the truth there.

Stephen: Then we could go to my salon and do your hair! Wash the fart smell out.

Galantis - Love On Me (feat. Hoon N Sling)

Has a famous person ever hit on you?


Stephen: Christopher Biggins was all over me like a rash. Punching above my weight there!

Chris: What was the programme about the school? Educating Yorkshire! The first one. The head teacher from that. I reckon I could have had him. I don’t know if he’s straight or gay but he was like ‘Oh here is my Twitter…’. I like to think he was hitting on me instead of just being nice...

DNCE - Body Moves

What famous somebody would make you move if they became your neighbour?


Stephen: Danny Dyer! Imagine that voice over the garden fence!

Chris: I love Pat my neighbour. though! He egged his neighbour didn’t he?

Stephen: Or Sharon Osbourne! She delivered a bag of something nasty in a Tiffany’s box to her neighbour. It was poo!

Gorgon City - Smile (feat. Elderbrook)

Would you rather be constantly smiling or never be able to smile again?

Stephen: Constantly smiling. I’m constantly smiling usually.

Chris: Yeah, I would pick that too. I’d prefer that to looking miserable all the time.

Stephen: Me and my sisters got a fit of the giggles at my Nan’s funeral, who we hadn’t known that well. But so hard, that we were actually crying. So people were turning around thinking they could hear laughter but saw us crying. Then someone’s phone rang and we were like, ‘Oh the scandal!’ So you’d just have to pull it off like that in sad situation.

Mura Masa - Love $ick (feat. A$AP Rocky)

What do you love so much in the world that it makes you feel sick?


Stephen: My mum.

Chris: I thought you would have said cake

Stephen: Mum and cake! A Victoria sponge.

Chris: I’m going to say designer bags. Then my mum. In that order. I like to get my priorities straight.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ/One Potato Two Potato/Richard Hill

Rihanna - Love On The Brain

What was your last dream about that you can remember?


Chris: I had a dream that I was having an affair with one of my ex-boyfriends that wasn’t Stephen. I woke up very excited!

Stephen: I dreamt that I won £64m on the lottery. So I ran out and bought a ticket but I didn’t won.

Chris: I hate dreams that you are getting chased! I had a dream recently that there was someone in my room and it was awful.

Stephen: Or when you dream you can’t get to sleep and you wake up and you feel like you haven’t. That’s the worst!

Chris: And you look awful for the rest of the day!
