44
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,960

46
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,200

163
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. Oh well no, that's the one thing

164
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: about these shows I feel like is they they're going

165
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: to give you the hits. They're not golly be hanging.

166
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

167
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: I actually saw them a few years ago, and you

168
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: know what I was thinking about. I feel like the

169
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: Backstree Boys because there's a lot of boy brand a

170
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: lot of boy bands.

171
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 4: Can I not speak the boy bands broke up?

172
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I feel like Backstree.

173
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: Boys is what brought everyone back together because they did

174
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: it first.

175
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: They were the first to come back.

176
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 4: I believe they were me looking for confirmation that I

177
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: remember they never technically broke up.

178
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, I feel like none of

179
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: them like wanted to be like the breakout star and

180
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: have their own solo career. They took like breaks, but

181
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: they never like officially broke up. Yeah that's what I

182
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: felt like. Yeah, because instinct did break up.

183
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: They did.

184
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like.

185
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: Why break up? Why not just take some space because.

186
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: They have Okay, I have this theory and I don't

187
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 3: know this. Obviously I'm not part of a boy band

188
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: or a musical band, but I think that people when

189
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: they're in a band, they feel like their creativity is

190
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: stifled because they have to like do what's right for

191
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: the whole team, and people want to express themselves artistically

192
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: in their own like creative way, and so they like,

193
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to do this and I'm gonna do it better,

194
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: and then they go off and try and do it

195
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: better and it doesn't work, and then they're.

196
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: Like, oh, I know, but sometimes it does work out

197
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: for one person, right, and that's the.

198
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, correct, Nick Jonas.

199
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 3: But the Jonas brothers are back and better than that.

200
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: What I'm saying though, it's like sometimes you just have

201
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: to realize I had my time of separation, that.

202
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: We're better, we're better together, like us like me and you, yeah,

203
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 3: get the band back together. We're definitely better together, do

204
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: you think.

205
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

206
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyways, So so we're about to interview a j

207
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: He's going to come in here and and then we

208
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 3: have like a cute dinner. We're gonna do like cute

209
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 3: like double date dinner, and then we're gonna come back

210
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: for the show and just like pop in. You know,

211
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: it's like a twenty four hours in Vegas. I feel

212
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 3: like we're like Lady Gaga just flying in for the night,

213
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: you know. Is that what she does I don't know.

214
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, talk storry to like.

215
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: The best part though, was that Tanya has been nauseous

216
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: since we got here and we haven't had a single drink. Nothing,

217
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: We've done, nothing that would make us nauseous that would

218
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: typically happen in Vegas.

219
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: Just the bumpy fight.

220
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: I think I could have a drink because of how

221
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: nauseous I feel.

222
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: Are we drinking tonight?

223
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: I'll have a drink.

224
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 4: I was thinking that too.

225
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta be careful my illness.

226
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: I'm still battling.

227
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: And I were like, we've literally been sick for so long,

228
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, it's.

229
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: Like our first thing back is Vegas.

230
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's we're throwing you in.

231
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you got to jump into the deep end.

232
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 6: All right, that's enough about us, because you hear from

233
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 6: us every week, but it's not every week that we

234
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 6: get to interview one a member of one of the

235
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 6: greatest boy bands of.

236
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: All all time?

237
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,000

Speaker 4: men man band? Because boy band?

239
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: No, you don't know, they're okay, one of the greatest

240
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: I think boy band boy bands of all time.

241
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 3: Band sounds sounds dirty, It sounds like sexual kind.

242
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: Of it doesn't have to. It doesn't have to.

243

Speaker 3: j here. This is crazy, right, but for us.

245
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: Like for us, I think crazier for us than for Yeah,

246
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: but that's a good thing.

247
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, crazy is good when it's putting smiles on

248
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: your faces, like it is right now, that's a good thing.

249
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: Well, because I mean you know this, but like I

250
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: used to have, my walls were covered in posters of

251
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: you guys, like just covered in posters of you all,

252
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: and like it's so crazy to be here for interviewing

253
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: you and then to be able to see you guys

254
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: at the sphere. Like it's just it feels like a

255
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 3: like a weird life moment.

256
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: I mean, everything comes full circle. Yeah, I mean so

257
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: I think it's I I love hearing things like that

258
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: because it's just reminds me of why we love to

259
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: do what we do, because, like I said, it's full circle.

260
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: Yea.

261
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, talking to a lot of the fans in

262
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: our meet and greets after the show or if we

263
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: have a chance before the show to talk to people,

264
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, just hearing the stories of how us as

265
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: a band or our music has inspired people, or it's

266
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: influenced people, or it takes them back to a certain memory.

267
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: It's just it's just so like joyful to like hear

268
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: that and to know that we were a part of

269
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: someone's life in a positive way through our music, you know.

270
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean. And now getting to kind of take everybody

271
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: back to nineteen ninety nine with a little bit of

272
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and current in one show at the most

273
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: state of the art venue is pretty rad.

274
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: I was going to ask, what do you remember where

275
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: you were when you got the call or the email

276
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: whatever it was that y'all were going to.

277
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 4: Be Oh, that was non intentional thank.

278
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: You when I got the page, like.

279
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: When they told you that y'all were going to be

280
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: at the sphere Because in my mind, and I am

281
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: not an artist, so I don't know, but this just

282
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: feels like the dream come true.

283
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the next phase for anyone I

284
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: think that wants to do any type of residency in

285
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. We did a residency at Plant Hollywood back

286
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: in seventeen to nineteen, and there was a subject matter

287
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: that I kept bringing up over the last seven years

288
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: that I wish I could take credit for, but it

289
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: was my wife's idea to recreate the Millennium tour that

290
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: was this thing like no one had ever done something

291
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: like that before to where they go and they kind

292
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: of recreate their biggest tour ever. And it just wasn't

293
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: the right timing. It wasn't the right situation, and we

294
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: were still on tour doing the DNA tour. We're doing

295
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: the tour prior to that, and it just never really

296
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: made sense. And then we started hearing rumblings about Vegas

297
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: wanting us to come back and do another residency, and

298
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: we were talking to different hotels and I threw it

299
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: out in the atmosphere to our management. I'm like, you

300
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: know what, what about doing sphere? And then it just

301
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: kind of went radio silent. But I think that's because

302
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: they already knew that there was they didn't want to

303
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: tell us, and so I don't know, when did you

304
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: tell us? Like I do you want a conference call? Yeah?

305
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: And it was just like okay, like now what? But

306
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: what was so cool was the process of a show

307
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: like this is really two shows in one, especially for

308
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: like guys like us that are doing our normal stage production,

309
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: dancing and singing, the whole gambit. There's that's that's one show,

310
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: and then you have this insane content behind you, which

311
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: is a completely separate show. So the process of making

312
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: this was really really fun. We actually physically, I think

313
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: for five songs, shot content for it that you'll see tonight.

314
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: But I feel like, so when when you when Backstreet

315
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 3: Boys first started, so when you guys were like just

316
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 3: starting when you were.

317
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: Like I was fourteen.

318
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: Kids, Yeah, and like so you're touring or doing like

319
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: and girls are going fairal for you, right, and they

320
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: still are. But like I want to, I feel like

321
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: it's so crazy because you guys have just been around

322
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: for so long. Like what was it like when you

323
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: were touring back then before like people had their like

324
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: filming everything.

325
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a it was a whole different world.

326
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm for me personally, I'm very thankful there

327
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: was no social media back in the time for personal reasons,

328
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: back when I was in my party phase before I

329
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: got sober, I was definitely happy about that. No, it

330
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: was a different time completely in the sense of, like

331
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, even for us when it came to like

332
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: press and media, like you had to show up to

333
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: the radio station, meet the program directors, do the interviews

334
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: there at the station. There was no zoom interviews. There

335
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: was none. You know, even this feels retro like to

336
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: actually sit down and see people face to face and

337
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: actually do an interview compared to what it normally is

338
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: nowadays it's all virtual. But the one upside is fans

339
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: back then they might have had their you know, disposable

340
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: cameras or you know, their polaroids or their camera cameras,

341
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: which there was a lot of those, but there was

342
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: a lot less of this watching the show through. But

343
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: I will say, though I don't know why this one has,

344
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like there's that many phones out during

345
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: this show. I don't know why that is. I feel

346
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: like there's more people actually engaging in wanting to watch

347
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: what's happening on stage and on the screen, like in

348
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: real time and not through their phone, which is kind

349
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: of a breath of fresh air, because we had talked

350
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: about the idea of maybe not having phones allowed, and

351
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: that would not go over well. You know, our fans

352
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: would lose their mind if they couldn't have their phones,

353
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: because you know, once you post it after opening night,

354
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: the world knows what the show is, what the intro is.

355
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: But it's not the same in this venue. You have

356
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: to physically be here to experience it. You'll never feel

357
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: that through your phone. We have.

358
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: I was telling her, I've tried to skip every video

359
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: anyone's posted because I've just wanted to be like a.

360
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: I've watched every single video, every single person. I know everything,

361
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 3: Like no, I know, I know, just know everything.

362
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: But have you seen a show here before?

363
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: Never? Never?

364
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's gonna it's gonna mess you guys up,

365
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna mess up just concerts in general. Like

366
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: I've been hearing that from a lot of people, Like,

367
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: like seeing seeing a show here in general is like

368
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: ruining it for people to go see a normal concert

369
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: outside of her because you'll never on on the planet

370
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: anywhere else but this venue experience what you experienced here.

371
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: Oh wow, it's never gonna happen.

372
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: Also, you were saying when you sat down that you

373
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: finished your album.

374
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: You just finished my debut solo record last night at

375
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: three in the morning with my Yeah, last night was

376
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: a late night. Last night was a late night. But

377
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: we've been we've been in the studio all week this week,

378
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: so this was my week off. But it wasn't a

379
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: week off. But doing something like that, to me is

380
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: just so much fun, like finally getting to put a

381
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, to button this up. It's been about four

382
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: years because we were on tour doing the DNA tour

383
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: and then we had to stop the tour because of

384
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: COVID then resume the tour. We didn't that tour till

385
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: May of twenty twenty three, so I didn't have a

386
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: lot of time. And then right after the tour was

387
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: done in twenty three, I took a little trip to Scottsdale,

388
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: Arizona to do a little mental health retreat for me,

389
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of me time that I had never done,

390
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: and it truly saved me. It like put me in

391
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: the right headspace I've never been in to actually have

392
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: self esteem, to love myself, to respect myself, to put

393
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: myself first, and to know that all of that's okay,

394
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: and to know that no is a complete sentence and

395
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: I know what boundaries are now.

396
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: And you know what's interesting though, I always feel like

397
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: just because I remember, like, and I'm just one person,

398
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: how obsessed I was with you guys, Like it must

399
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: be so crazy to have all that like attention from

400
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: millions and millions of people like it's got to be

401
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: a weird thing to navigate.

402
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: It's weird. But I think for me, I I loved it.

403
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: I loved it for the wrong reasons, and I never

404
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: I never felt that I deserved it. Among many things,

405
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: I also never felt.

406
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: Like imposters syndrome. Huh, imposter syndrome.

407
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I never like I always had this. You know,

408
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: I lived in this mindset, a piece of sism. That's

409
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: what I literally called it is. That's kind of the

410
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: headspace I was in, and I didn't realize it untill

411
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: I really got into the party phase. And why all

412
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: that happened, you know, the drugs and drinking and all

413
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: that was just symptomatic to what was really going on

414
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: inside here and inside here, which was that self sabotage

415
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: of not liking the person I was. And today, finally

416
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: after I mean, I'm forty seven, it took me a

417
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: while better late than ever, I can look at myself

418
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: in the mirror and I like who I see, And

419
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: it shows across the board. It shows with my relationships

420
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: with my family, shows with my relationship with the boys,

421
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: with my friends, with you know, the people that I

422
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: care about the most like I can be present, I

423
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: can be here, you know, and so yeah, but I

424
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: think I think you have competition as far as fans go.

425
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: I think my daughters might beat U as far as

426
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: the biggest Backtory boy fans.

427
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: Wow, maybe they might.

428
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 4: They might have a little edge on you.

429
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they might have a little edge.

430
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: I have a question because we just binged or watched

431
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: Building the band Nice and we love We just love you,

432
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: And I was wondering if that took.

433
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: You back to the process of because I don't even know.

434
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: First of all, Haley, my fiance was like, ask him,

435
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: what where did Backstreet come from?

436
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 4: What does backstreet mean?

437
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean we so we got our name from a

438
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: flea market. Essentially. It was a place called the Backstreet

439
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Market in our Orlando, Florida, just off it was off

440
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: this little road called International Drive, which was like Tourist Central,

441
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: Like they had those stupid sling shot things that you

442
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: know where they people are getting sick, and tattoo shops, bars,

443
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: Tgi Friday's, freaking Bennegan's. All that stuff was on there.

444
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: But that's where we got the name Backstreet. And then

445
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: boys because we're all boys. Boys, well, we were boys.

446
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: But you know, like you've got the beach Boys, the

447
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 1: Oakrage Boys, the pet shop boys, beastie boys, like you know,

448
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: they're all in their fifties, sixties, seventies, whatever, but they're

449
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: still boys like that. So that's never going to change.

450
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: For Yeah, Becca was like, should we call them Backstreet men?

451
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 4: I was like, oh man band, Oh right.

452
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean look, doing the show it it

453
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: did bring back a lot of memories. Although it was

454
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: a different approach than how we did things. You know,

455
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: because you're filming a show, it's a lot more fast paced.

456
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: You know, they would get information on a Friday morning,

457
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: and Friday afternoon they have to perform three songs live

458
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: and do this and do that, so it's like it

459
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: was really quick.

460
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

461
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: But what I love so much about the show is

462
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: how they formed and how they were put together. Where

463
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: we were put together put together. I was the original og.

464
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: I helped put the group together. But the way that

465
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: we did it on the show where there it's basically blind,

466
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: you're doing it based on talent and compatibility. I love

467
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: that part of this show because you really are going

468
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: based on talent. You don't care about what that person

469
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: looks like and you really are trying to trying to

470
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: form this connection with someone sight unseen. And to me,

471
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: the most like emotional moment was when they first got

472
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: to meet each other face to face. Like watching that

473
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: from size stage was just so freaking badass, Like some

474
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: of them could even finished singing, Yeah, that was awesome.

475
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: When y'all forms the band, were you you consider your

476
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 2: Do you consider yourself the leader of the band because

477
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: you came in and you were like looking at all

478
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: of our white and you were like, this was my idea.

479
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: No, definitely, I'm definitely not the leader. Leaders might think

480
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: they are, but I won't say names.

481
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 6: I feel like you're.

482
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: No.

483
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: But Kevin ageins Kevin gets deemed the leader because he's

484
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: the oldest.

485
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 3: I always felt like he was the leader.

486
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: I'm the second youngest, so you wouldn't want me to

487
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: be the leader. But no, I I'm just look, there

488
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: is no real leader. Everybody kind of knows their place.

489
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: We all pull each other's weight, we all back each

490
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: other up, and we all have like a clear understanding

491
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: of what each of us likes, dislikes, what we're willing

492
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: to do not not willing to do so. And now

493
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: today I feel we're the tightest we've ever been.

494
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: That comes through by the.

495
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: Way we are. We went through Helen back over the

496
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: last thirty two years, highs lows, highs lows, lawsuits, management, companies, girlfriends, wives, whatever,

497
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: different things, all this stuff, like we've we've been through

498
00:23:54,440 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: everything together and now it's just this unspoken comfortability, this

499
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: unspoken connection that I just feel is the tightest it's

500
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: ever been. So we know we can sit down and

501
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: have a little pow wow. I'm not the money guy, Like,

502
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: I don't talk to me about the money side of things,

503
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: the business side of things, because I suck at that.

504
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: You want to talk to me about creative or about

505
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: stuff like the white outfits or you know that's my wheelhouse.

506
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: Who's the business guy in the group.

507
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: It's Howie and Brian. I think there really are two

508
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: strong business guys. We're all creative across the ri but

509
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: everybody kind of brings something different to the creative side.

510
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: Like Kevin. He will be here till six in the morning,

511
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: listening to the music, watching the edits, looking at the stage,

512
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 1: making sure everything.

513
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: Wow.

514
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: He's a perfectionist, but he's definitely loosened up a little

515
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: bit where like, you know what, you got to go

516
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: with the flow sometimes, yeah something it's not always going

517
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: to be perfect.

518
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 3: And I want to say congratulations because you guys extended

519
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: your dates we did, which is huge, which means the

520
00:24:59,280 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: demand is there.

521
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: The demand is there, and I mean we're being told

522
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: it was even a bigger poll than it was the

523
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: first time around. So December twenty sixth through January third

524
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: is the next batch. And then I mean, we're gonna

525
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: stay here as long as they want us here, you

526
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like this is it's a it's

527
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: a it's a dream job. It's a dream scenario because

528
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: you're in one place, You're in an international hub. You're

529
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: getting people from all over the world coming to the

530
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. So it's a great way and

531
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: it's easier on our bodies.

532
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, touring is it's.

533
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 1: Not necessarily the same as it was back in the day,

534
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: you know. But for me personally, I do miss being

535
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: on a tour bus. I love being on a tour bus.

536
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: That's my homeway from home. I just love traveling and

537
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: seeing the world. But so who knows if we'll do

538
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: a tour down the road at some point. I don't know,

539
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: but we're gonna stay here as long as they want

540
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: us to.

541
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 4: What's your favorite song of this set? Do you have

542
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 4: a favorite moment? And what's your favorite outfit? Because I

543
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 4: feel like you're a.

544
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: My favorite like in this show. Yeah, favorite out in

545
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: the show is the last look because it's the most

546
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: for me personally, it's the most me being me. Everything

547
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: else is stagy and very costume, but classy and fun

548
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: and fashion driven. But favorite song to perform in the

549
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 1: show A probably Visually Siberia is A.

550
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 7: It's trippy. It's trippy. We shot content for that and

551
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 7: it's disturbing. I'm just gonna tell you it's disturbing. It's

552
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 7: it's cool, but it's weird. But that one's just fun

553
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 7: because it's it's it's one of our favorites. It was

554
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 7: on Never Gone, so it's nowhere near the millennium time period,

555
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 7: but we haven't performed at Lives in d since two

556
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 7: thousand and four, so we wanted to put that back in.

557
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: It's our favorite. But for me probably, I do love

558
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: getting another boyfriend. It's still one of my favorites. I

559
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: don't know. Actually, Larger than Life. The whole intro of

560
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: the show is really really really cool, between the visuals,

561
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: the costumes, the staging, everything, it's it's really really cool.

562
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: When y'all were doing the set list, was it like, hey,

563
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: I want to do this, so how do you do that?

564
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Well?

565
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 4: How do you pick something when you have such a huge.

566
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the one thing that was imperative was we

567
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: had to do the entire Millennium album. So you will

568
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: see and hear every song from the Millennium Album in

569
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: the show. Some of them are not full songs. We

570
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: did four of them in a medley during the show.

571
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: One of those songs is actually probably one of the

572
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: most emotional moments, which is perfect fan. You know, we

573
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: have a collage of photos of all of our our

574
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 1: moms and our wives that are moms now, so like

575
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: it's a pretty opening night. Kevin couldn't even get the

576
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: first line out because he lost his mom not that

577
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: long ago, and so you know, and he's a he's

578
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: probably the most emotional out of all of us. He's headstrong,

579
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: but he cries like that and once he goes, then

580
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: we go. It's one of those it's one of those Yeah,

581
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: But like I said, I just tell people you're in

582
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: for a ride.

583
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 3: Okay, so you extended dates the album. When's your sol

584
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 3: album coming out?

Speaker 1: So the album we're looking at actually is around or

586

Speaker 4: the album?

592
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: It's pop, R and B, a little bit of funk

593
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's just it's it's a feel good record,

594
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: like there's it's it's all kind of gelled well together.

595
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: There's a couple of songs that kind of stick out

596
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: on their own, that are in their own lane. But

597
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the cream rose to the top last night.

598
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: The songs that we just finished are just like.

599
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,720

Speaker 2: on the album, just started them last night and ended them.

607
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: Well, we started writing on Monday and we finished last night.

611
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: this leg, but that'll be on the album, so I

612
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: have time to get that way done and mixed.

613
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: So are you someone who needs to be doing something

614
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: all the time, because I'm like, you're doing this massive

615
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: show and then you're writing your own album.

616
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: I am. I mean yes, and no, I've I've slowed

617
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: down a lot because I've kind of had to, like

618
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: and plus I want to, like I want to take

619
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: everything in. Yeah, normally, like I'm in the gym every day.

620
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I take my case of school in

621
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 1: the morning. I do normal life when I'm home. You know,

622
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm on the golf course as much as I can be.

623
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: But I unfortunately have a torn rotator cuff right now,

624
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: so like there's not a lot I can do, like

625
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: even doing the show. It hurts, but what are you

626
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: gonna do? Like, the show must go on and my

652
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: the only dads that would do drop off. So all

653
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: the moms are like right in the sweet spot. So

654
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:40,479
