WEBVTT - Are the Rumors True? 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.080 Welcome back to Sauce on the Side. That's me. I'm 0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:08.680 the sauce at Baby Hot Sauce. Also Gandhi from the 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:10.840 Elvis Durram Morning Show. I'm the co host, but I 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:12.920 spin off and now I have my own podcast. So 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.080 today we're going to talk to somebody that I think 0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.280 everyone knows, Lance Bass. 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.880 I holy crap. That's all I can say is, holy crap. 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:23.919 I can't believe you got Lance Bass on your podcast. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:25.880 Were you a big boy band fan? 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.760 I was not. My sister was a Backshoe Boys fan, okay, 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.240 but you know she still went to all the n 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:33.320 SYNC concerts, so I think just you know, when you're 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.960 someone's younger brother and you have an older sister, she 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.800 would play so much boy band music there. 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:39.599 So you know all of it. 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.720 Yeah, okay, all of it unfortunately. 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.559 Okay, but maybe we'll talk to him about all of 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.919 that because I'm sure he probably got sick of all 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:48.840 of it too. And now he's doing so much stuff 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.960 on his own, and he's still always going to be 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.560 linked to Lance Bass of in Sync formerly of in Sync, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.080 Like do we just stop? When do we stop calling 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:57.360 him that? 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.760 And he's done so much in his career, which is 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.480 fast to me, like to your point, Yes, he is 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.640 Lance Bass from n SYNC, but he's also Lance Pass 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:12.000 the astronaut, Lance Bass, the restauranteur, Lance Bass the podcaster, podcaster. 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.119 He's done so much for himself and it's so cool 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.240 to see how he's made that a business. 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:27.120 I feel like, should I ask himself about Britney Spears. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.160 Clearly that made answer uncomfortable. We're going for it, but 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.000 I feel like he's he's here, Let's bring him in. 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:41.200 He's awesome, Lance Bassy. So welcome Lance Bass. Which, Hello, Lance, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.800 how are you? I got a bio for you, as 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:46.679 I know you know you guys send out the bios. 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.720 Your title is the longest title I think I've ever seen. 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:57.120 Lance Bass, musician, host, actor, producer, writer, entrepreneur, philanthropist and 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.760 now daddy maybe daddy to others before you have children. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:01.400 I can get it. 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.800 Well, that was a zaddy say, that is a long 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:05.880 list of things you're doing a lot. 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:07.680 I did not write that, by the way, so I 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.320 don't do my own bios. But yeah, I mean I'm 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:10.880 a busy boy. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.200 I guess if you're writing your own bio, what would 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:13.440 it say? 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.680 Uh, entertainer. Dad. Okay, they're gonna just covers everything that's 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:18.440 happening in my life. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.600 I'll talk to my people. Thank you, thank You're welcome. 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.320 All right, So you are doing a whole lot of things. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.959 Let's start with the big, big one everyone's talking about 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.520 right now, Trolls band together. 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.920 Oh. It's just exciting that we can actually talk about 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.680 it now because I mean literally, when we started this 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.960 project was back in April, and then the strike happened 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.520 in June. We're like, wait, we can't even mention the 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.040 movie or the song. So you know, it was disappointing 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.400 for sure, but you know we were definitely you know, 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.440 supporting the sack strike. But now that we can talk 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:48.640 about it, it's been amazing. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.760 I mean, I know when we debuted the song, the 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.400 response we got was outrageous. I mean, it was almost 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.600 like a K pop boy band right now. It was crazy, 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.079 just people being so excited, like. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.079 Holy shit, you know, it's we haven't recorded in twenty 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.079 three years, so you know, the fans deaf. I think 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.520 Taylor Swift kind of ignited this kind of craziness behind it, 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.480 and a lot of people didn't even think that we 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.520 were going to be releasing a song. Oh I didn't 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.680 be because we you know, we couldn't talk about it, 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.880 so I said. The VMA's were like, Hi, we're here 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.800 for a reason, but we can't tell you. But then 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.120 when we finally were able to release the song, I 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:23.720 was just so happy to be able to hear a 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.079 song on the radio again. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:26.240 What was that phone call? 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.760 Like, it was literally I just landed in Nashville because 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.440 I was about I was looking at how it was 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.040 moving to Nashville and I get right out of the 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.680 airport and justin calls He's like, hey, I want to 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.600 get the band back together for this this Trolls movie. 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.600 Like oh my god, like literally looking at a house 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:46.160 to move. So I said, okay, yeah, I'll be there. 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.320 So went back to LA and got right back in 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:48.800 the studio. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.960 How long did it take start to finish. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.520 Oh my god, for the song, Yeah, like literally lesson 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.520 a day and done. Yeah, we were I mean we 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.080 were in the studio all day just because we were 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.760 We revert to being sixteen years old and being stupid. 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.400 But yeah, I mean it's like no day had passed. So, 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.440 I mean we were exactly the same in the studio. 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.600 Things go very quickly with us, and yeah, it was fun. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:12.880 So can I put to bed a rumor that people 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:13.720 were tossing around? 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.440 Oh okay, it's not bad. Okay. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.159 A lot of people were saying, oh, this just happened coincidentally, 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.960 because now that this Brittany stuff is going on in 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.599 Justin's catching bad price, they're trying to divert. But you're 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.479 saying this started in April. Yeah, so obviously that's not 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.000 the truth. Definitely not the truth. 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.080 Yeah, a movie like this and a soundtrack like this 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.400 is definitely planned a long time before it comes out. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:34.560 You can't just pivot right into it. 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.160 H Yeah. Yeah, so yes, I'm gonna have to put 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:37.880 that rumor to rest. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.800 Thanks for doing that here, because we've been debating back 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.719 and forth. I'm like, no way, it had to have 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.320 happened way long before you. But I'm very excited for you. Guys. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:45.839 Did it feel good to be back together? 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.880 It was great. You know. The thing is, we've all 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.680 been so close, you know, the last twenty three years 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.960 of not making music, So it wasn't weird to be like, oh, 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.680 I wonder if we're going to get along. It's you know, 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.760 we know, we get along. We all love each other 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.880 and talk to each other weekly. So getting back in 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.880 the studio, it is just it was just so natural. 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.000 It just felt right. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.240 I know you've been asked this a million times, someone 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.480 to do it again a million and one. Is there 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:11.960 a chance that we're going to see you guys out 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.599 doing something together in the future. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.600 There's definitely a chance. You know. I would not have 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.400 said that a year ago, because for the last few 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.920 years I'm kind of like, all right, guys, it's probably 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.840 not gonna happen, all right, But now I do see 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:29.479 a future. You know, we're we're finally discussing options and 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.040 what this might look like. You know, all of us 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.559 have such different lives right now, and we're so busy 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:38.320 in our own you know, ventures, and of course justin 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.680 you know, he's super busy soloist himself. So figuring out 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.560 what that looks like and when we can do it 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.000 is gonna, you know, take us a little while. But yeah, 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.680 if I were a betting man, I would hope to 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.039 I would say that we might be doing something in 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:53.560 the future. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:54.520 Are you a betting man? 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.760 I am a betting man. Well, I lived in Vegas. 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.600 I love that you've lived everywhere. Vegas, We're else. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.360 Germany, Russia, Orlando, I'm all over the place. 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.640 Can we talk about your time in Russia because you 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.080 were there for a very specific reason. Yes, you're training 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.359 to go into outer space. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:11.760 That's it. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:13.279 Yes, what happened. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:18.680 It's it's a very interesting story. When Hollywood gets involved 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:22.280 with a with space exploration, it is just it's a 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:23.279 little different, a. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:24.680 Little terrifying, to be honest. Yeah. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.320 Yeah, So I went over to Russia really with CBS 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.080 because I was going to be hosting one a game 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.760 show for them where the winner goes to space, and 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.039 that was right after Dennis Tito went the first you know, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.719 space tours, and they're like, okay, well the host needs 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.679 to have gone to space, so it's even more exciting. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.760 So they put me into training to be the youngest 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.239 person to ever go to space. But then halfway through 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.200 the deal fell through with Russia and Hollywood, and then 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.159 MTV took it over for a documentary and then MTV 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.120 forgot to take insurance out on the production, and without insurance, 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.520 you can't air it or have the production. But then 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:03.480 people don't. They don't ensure astronauts, so I wonder why. Yeah, 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.159 so a week before my launch, I had already finished 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.760 training and everything, and I was about to go to 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.640 Baikonora where we launch. And a week before my launch, 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:12.520 my mission was scrapped. 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.000 Were you disappointed or were you no? 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.640 I was. My mom was happy, Yeah, I bet, but 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.960 of course I was disappointed. I did so many mock missions. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.400 I felt like, you know, I'd done it, but you know, 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.480 I wanted to go to the ISS. I wanted to, 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.400 you know, stay there for ten days and do my 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.960 experiments that I've been working on for months. And uh, 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.880 you know my closers on the SS right now, you 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.960 know it went up before me. And really yeah, a 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.840 friend of mine who's an astronaut found my jumpsuit. He 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.280 reached my name tag off and floated it in front 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:42.679 of Earth. He's like, look what I found. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.520 I was like, what is training like to go out 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.840 into outer space? I'm asking this because that has been 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.480 one of my dreams forever. But apparently I'm too short 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:51.720 to be able to do this. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.320 No, no, not tumore be too tall. Yeah, like I 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.080 was too tall. Actually, it's all about your torso, and 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.320 my torso was too long, so they made me wear 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:02.480 the suit that kind of shrink. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.000 Shoot you to go in like a hunchback. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.120 Yeah, you're kind of a hunchback because in space you grow, 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.320 so you can create taller. 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.000 So what's the training, like, what do you do? 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.680 It is intense, I mean, one, you have to it's 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.480 all in Russian, which is fun. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.080 You speak a little Russian. 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:20.880 Uh, yeah, sounded right to me. So most of it is, 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.320 uh is training for emergencies. Like emergency training is like 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.400 you're number one, but you have to know every makeup 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.400 of the soyas the rocket, every nutting you know, I mean, 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.400 all the oxygen because I was in charge of oxygen 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:33.920 on the spacecraft. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:34.800 My god, no big deal. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.080 Yeah, so you know you have to know how to 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.000 calculate how much air you have in certain situations. But 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.560 again it's like, oh, if this emergency happens here, what 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.640 do you do? Okay, at ten minutes and thirty seconds, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.480 if this emergency happens, what do you do here? So 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.880 it's just constantly like okay, just survival. 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.120 Training that sounds intense and very stressful and like something 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:53.840 I would still have wild dreams about. 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.040 Yeah, I have a little PTSD from training. 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:57.640 I bet do you still want to go? 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:58.320 Of course? 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.600 Now that there's all this you know, space tourism. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.720 Yeah, and I've been asked to go with all these 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.240 you know, different companies that are doing great. I'm so 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.240 glad that we're privatizing space because it's gonna you know, 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.520 it's gonna leap us forward, because if we rely on 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.480 the government, it's not gonna happen so much red tape. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.640 But you know, I I've been asked to go many times, 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.800 but I don't really care to go up and come 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.920 back down. I really want to go live on you know, 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:25.520 International Space Station, do my experiments and you know, use 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.600 my my cosmonaut degree. 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.360 What are the odds of that actually happening? Do you think? 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.559 I mean it, I mean it could happen. You know, 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.760 it's getting easier every day, obviously, when all these billionaires 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.760 stop going and it becomes more affordable for people to 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.720 send me up. I think it would be great, but 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.720 it'll be it would have to be a you know, 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.360 a medical company or someone like that that actually chooses 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.719 an astronaut to go and do their experiments for them. 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.679 So hopefully one day, Pfizer, if you're listening, you can 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.240 send me up to the ISS and I will finish 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.880 your experiments excellent. 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.120 Now do you feel the same way about deep sea tourism, 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.920 the you know, the submersibles that go away down there. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.680 And that look I don't have. I mean, I would 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.080 love to do it just because I think it would 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.080 be fun. But it's definitely not high on my bucket lists. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.679 You know. I think it'll get a little less dangerous. Uh, 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.240 the more that we you know, we attempt. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:16.280 To do it. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.000 But I think, yeah, to be able to see you know, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:23.280 the remaining Titanic, you know, uh, in person, I think 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.000 it's just it's a fun thing to say, like, yeah, 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:26.840 I saw that at the bottom of the ocean. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.959 I would love to do deep sea just because I'm 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.160 convinced that there's stuff down there that none of us 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.680 have ever seen before. We know that, you know, Like 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.160 I know there are aliens in outer space, but there 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.520 are definitely aliens in that water that we've never seen. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:40.480 There's something happening. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:44.600 It's insane how much of the ocean we have not touched. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.560 It is bizarre and it's scary because we can't we 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.280 can't get down to certain places, So like, what is there? 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:51.920 What is that? 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.320 Because it can't be nothing there cannot be nothing down there. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.320 Definitely something down there, Definitely something something is brewing. 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.160 I feel like exact same way, so you know, the 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:03.000 stuff they don't teach you in science class. They teach 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.040 you just about the ocean and the parts that you get, 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.120 the light and all of that, and then you grow 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.600 up and you learn all of these things about animals 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.440 that don't need that light to survive. They don't need 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.440 any type of oxygen. They survive on sulfur fumes, and 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.520 they move in this completely different way. And I just think, 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.920 how can we think about anything else besides what the 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.679 hell is down there? That's all I want to know. 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.400 So I know, yeah, if it happens. 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.320 That evolution, I mean, it all came from the ocean. 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.440 So it's like our ancestors are deep down in there. 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.400 Is there a lost city of Atlantis? Like there's something down. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.319 There there amazing. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:35.320 I'd love to find. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.520 One day, we might discover a time capsule down there 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.640 that're like, oh, yeah, from two billion years ago. Then 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.600 you know, an asteroid came and destroyed the Earth. But 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.640 it was like this advanced civilization where we had flying 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.200 cars and everything two billion years ago, but then an 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.160 asteroid destroys the earth and then we have to start 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:50.680 over again. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.560 See, these are the conversations I like to have because 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.720 it's like a smoke, one eat, a mush and whatever 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.760 it is, expand your mind and think about all of 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.280 these different things. We were talking to Neil de grass 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.040 Tyson not too long ago, and he talked about the 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.920 fact that, you know, we talk about time travel in space, 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.440 you know, in light years, and how far away that 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.640 actually is and how could we ever get there? You 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.920 can't with the life span of a human being. But 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.280 if there were a generational ship that people just kept 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.800 having babies and it kept going on, then maybe one 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.880 day we would actually be able to discover all these 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.000 things light years away. And then he blew my mind 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.720 with what if Earth is that generational ship and we 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.240 are traveling through space and time and we are the 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.280 ones that are trying to find all these other things 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.600 out there. And that's all I can think about now too. 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.760 And it's true, he's dead on we are that civilization 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.880 that is going to figure it out. I just I 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.640 feel like we're still a little too conservative in our 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.840 you know, and trying to reach what we need to reach. 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.160 But yeah, I mean I think it's very important. Who 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.040 knows how long? I mean, obviously Earth is finite. We 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.760 won't be here forever as humans, so we do need 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.320 to start thinking about like how are we going to 0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:00.199 get somewhere else and building those the huge internationals base 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.960 stations of you know, civilization where yes, everyone's having babies, 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:06.439 and it's just it's a floating earth, you know, or 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.720 we are we are floating. Hasn't been like another you know, uh, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.040 you know where you can actually like choose your own 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:16.040 course in space. It's Star Trek and I think it's incredible. 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.679 But that's obviously where we're going to have to go, 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.760 and that's what I think we're making those baby steps now. 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.280 I just find it all so fascinating and I love 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:25.440 that you are part of this and that you know 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.040 what the training is like and in an emergency situation, 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:29.840 lance Pass is going to be able to fix our 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:30.600 oxygen and get. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.360 Us all the oxygen. I got you covered wild. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.880 So of all the guys in n Sync, it seems 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.760 like you are the one well former would I what 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.920 I say formally not anymore now because yeah you're back right. 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.600 Okay, no more former en Sync member. 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.120 I just want to make sure we get it right. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.120 So of all of the guys, you seem to have 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.280 done the most, like the most diverse stuff with your 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.760 life since then, what's the transition been like going from 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.439 boy bander, massively famous to now venturing out? Not now, 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.240 but you know, at one point venturing out on your own. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:13:59.640 Uh. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.480 You know, it's scary, you know, because you're known so 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.959 much for being one thing. And even today, I'm forty 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.200 four years old, and people, you know, if I go 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.360 into you know, a casting or something like, ah, you know, 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.280 we like you, but like we still see us that 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.240 eighteen year old in sync guy. You know, it's hard 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.360 to get past what people know you for. Do you no, 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.680 it does it? It used to, especially like twenty years 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.120 ago when I was trying to figure out, like, okay, 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.640 where do I parlay into it? Because I didn't like 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.800 the music industry anymore. I love television, film, and I 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:29.920 love writing and producing, but I also love acting and 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:31.800 being in front of the camera. But it was hard 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.600 to see like where I belonged in the business. So 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.920 it took me a while to figure out what made 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.480 me happy what everyone else was happy with. But I 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.520 have so many interests that I I'm kind of all 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.200 over the place. If it's space, if it's you know, TV, 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:50.000 you know whatever, owning restaurants and clubs. I'm kind of 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.720 all over the place. I'm very I am mister add. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.320 That seems to work out well for you though. Yeah, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:58.120 So at this point when you think about what it 0:14:58.160 --> 0:14:59.640 is that makes you happy, what. 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.400 Is that right now? My kids? 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:02.560 How old are they? 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.800 They're too just turned two in October. And it really 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:10.800 has been the best thing ever. You know, I've loved 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:12.680 my life, but I was so selfish, you know, it's 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.520 just all about me forever. But now it's not about 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.440 me anymore. And I love that. 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.400 Social media is insane. It has changed, as you know, 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.320 the face of everything. When you look back, are you 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.680 happy or sad that it wasn't around the way it 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.520 is now when you guys were just on top of 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:38.840 the world. 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.960 I am fifty to fifty with social media. The reason 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.360 that I'm glad we didn't have it is because we 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.920 were just dumb teenagers and we would have been canceled 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.640 in two seconds. I mean, Joey would have said something 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.280 that would have just Joey's the one. He has no filter. Okay, 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.680 so that you know, and and of course the camera 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.240 phone where you know, if you're at a bar, you know, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.440 and you're having a good time again at like nineteen 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.800 twenty years old, oh yeah, and you know, people were 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.760 taking pictures and videos of you. Again that could have 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.320 gotten you canceled. But on the other hand, it would 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.840 have been nice to be able to get to your 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.520 fans immediately. It was so tiring for us because you'd 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.760 have to go to every single market just for people 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.280 to know you had a song and to get on 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.280 the radio right now you just kind of go, oh, 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.160 I have a song out today. Boop. It would have 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.160 given us a little more sleep if we had social media, definitely. 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.840 But I also think that social media and that exact 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.920 aspect of it that you're talking about, has made things 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.200 so much more disposable because it's just it's there and 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.000 then it's gone, and it's onto the next one to the. 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:36.000 Next one's gone. 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.160 Yeah, just constantly, you know, somebody has this giant moment 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.800 and then all of a sudden, that moment is just 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.480 trumped by somebody else's, you know, puking at a football 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:43.800 game or. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.200 Whatever it is, and it's and everyone is so segmented 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.440 now so it's, uh, you know, everyone, there's so many platforms. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.680 So if you're a fan of this, you know, indie 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.600 band over here, this group over here, won't even know 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.400 they exist, right, because it's all just on the platforms 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.160 you look at, and the art just really just tailor 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.400 it to those fans, which in a way is a 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.920 good thing. But there's no you know, back in our day, 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:09.760
