Please explain all the lingo, 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.560 all of the like weird traditions that you guys have, 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.720 because I'm sure that there are many. And yeah, I 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.240 here we go. Oh, let's carry a barber. Take it away. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.920 New Kids on the Block Cruise twenty twenty three. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:11.080 And technically this is a question from Megan in Woodlands, Texas, 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.720 so I want to give the credit for this question. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.400 Megan asks, Andrea, you told us you were going on 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.119 the NKOTB cruise and now I want to hear all 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:19.920 the details as a fellow fan. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.120 How was it? It was amazing? 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.280 Okay, Well, first, just a tiny tiny bit of history. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.040 So New Kids on the Block have been chartering cruises 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.840 since two thousand and nine, so it's been over ten 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.520 years that they've been chartering cruises. This particular one was 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.760 their twelfth cruise, and I've only been on six of them, guys, 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.320 so I'm not even like the most experienced blockhead, which 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.399 is what we call the New Kids Block fans. 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.720 We're all blockheads. It's a big sister got it. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.120 But yeah, I started going on these cruises. My first 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.720 one was in twenty thirteen. And I have this group 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.400 of girlfriends, these wonderful women that we travel from all 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.880 different parts of America where you know, we're from Connecticut 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.000 and Arizona and Atlanta, and we all meet once a 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:10.160 year in Miami and uh set sail with NKOTB for 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.840 four nights and four days and it's just a dream 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:14.680 come true. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.120 So is it okay? My question? 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.840 Is it only new kids fans on the cruise or 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.200 is it like they're mixed in with other people who 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.440 are like, oh my god, what's happening on the Lido 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:27.880 deck at seven pm? 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.440 Or is it everyone's in Oh no, no, no, this 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.480 is just it's a new kids on the higher cruise 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.440 ship cruise of new kids fans. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.760 Okay, yes, it's three thousand blockheads. And I got five five, 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.800 the five members of NKOTB. 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.280 And then their management. How do they survive? Like how 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.600 are they not ripped to pieces? You know what I mean? 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.400 Like I can't imagine they can just walk out anywhere. 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.320 They have a very very qualified security team that takes 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:55.840 care of. 0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:00.200 Them, right, and they're probably like seven decks above anywhere 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:01.520 that's accessible, so. 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:02.160 The fans know. 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.760 The fans know they're on deck seven, like they know 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.280 the exact hallway. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.080 Just blocked off with security too. 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.640 I mean, yeah, the we're women in our forties, but 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.120 that doesn't mean we behave well all the time. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:15.600 No, I'm not speaking for myself. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.760 Well I'm okay, maybe a little because I'm known to 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:18.600 behave myself. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.279 So that's yeah, nothing I can relate to. Okay. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.080 So it's all three thousand blockheads, three thousand guys all 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.039 get on the ship. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.599 If we all get on the ship and everybody, it's 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.480 like being in middle school again because everybody's wearing their swag. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.440 They've got like their Joey McIntyre button, they've got door decorations. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:37.920 They bring like all of their. 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.800 Supplies from Joanne's and are just like decorating their doors 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:45.839 with posters or interactive displays, like they go all out. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:47.640 There's a there's active display. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.640 What, yes, I need to know what does an interactive 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.400 display on a new kid's But like does Joey like 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.080 pop out in three D and like kiss your hand 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.440 or something and sing to you? 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.680 Like is that does it light up?

This tells me that there was a 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:41.840 serious investment in oh in this because if they've done 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.760 it two years in a row, it's because that ship 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:44.320 wasn't cheap. 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:45.120 Okay, what is it? 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.080 So they they it's a tribute to Jonathan Knight and 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.080 his HGTV show called Farmhouse Fixer. 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.040 Okay.

I don't know how. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.520 I don't know how he survives this, like because he's 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.679 he's got over fifty years old now, and I was like, 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.719 how are you keep interesting by the end of. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:49.400 Those four days? 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.160 Oh, he's he's loopy but fantastic and I'm just always 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.080 giving one hundred and forty percent. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.800 Right, Okay, do you have breakfast with the blockheads?

But then the next day is the 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.440 island day. That's when we go to half Moon Cay 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.520 or half Moon Key. I don't know how you pronounce it. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.160 I'll just say half moon k because that's how we 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:14.079 were pronouncing it then. 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.199 But it's it's a private island for Carnival. 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.440 The ship, the ship that we were on, and so 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:21.760 we have the island all to ourselves. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:22.280 It's great. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.760 You go, nice go we're sitting on our lounge chairs. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:30.280 It's hotter than hell because it's so humid and crazy. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.040 So it's like we just spend a lot of time 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.640 in the water, usually because the water is a great temperature, 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.960 beautiful color. At some point, they bring out the new 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.280 kids on the block on like a little a little tender, 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.520 one of those little boats, and they they're waving to 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.600 their crowd, and they come in and the and everyone 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.680 parts in the sea like the Red Sea, and the 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.160 guys come on the beach, and then they have beach games. 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.720 They're separated into five different teams, one for each new kid, 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:56.600 and they do beach games. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.880 I have never participated in these games. I have no 0:14:59.040 --> 0:14:59.560 desire to. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.880 I don't even really watch these beach games because it's 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:03.160 so hot. 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.960 I'm usually in the shade somewhere on a lounge. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:09.800 What sort of like like volleyball or like what or. 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.760 Like quiz games and stuff. No, no, no, it's like 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.680 physical games. It could be like a tug of war 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.440 or Okay, it's all again, it's always very disorganized and confusing, 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:19.480 but that doesn't matter. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.000 It's all just about having out. I mean, that is 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.040 the theory of my life. Exactly exactly. So that's the 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.560 beach day. It's very relaxing. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.040 Everybody gets back on the boat around five pm and 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.400 it's time to get ready for the concert. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.640 The guys throw like a full concert on the ship. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.360 After being outside in the sun all day. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.800 Oh yeah, oh no, they they they they have Stamma. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.760 These guys are like, this is it four days, We're 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:45.400 gonna make it happen. 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:47.560 Yeah, yeah, no, I mean when you're working, you just 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:48.880 you do it, you know, you just do it. 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:49.160 Yeah. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.120 Well, and they also they have like ivs, like their 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.560 their team brings ivy hydration rights and yeah, exactly, they're 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.000 just them, they're they're taking care of So, yeah, there's 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.240 it's a con and it's great because there's only they 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.720 do two different concerts because they can't fit the entire 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.680 three thousand of us in one in the theater room, 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.840 so it'll be you know, fifteen hundred on one night 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.120 and fifteen hundred on another night. But it's great because 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.960 it's a small Yeah, it's a small venue, and so 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.680 you're like right up close to the guys and they 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.840 come out in the audience and they sing to us 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.000 or they put the microphone in front of your mouth 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.760 and you know, right, so you get to sing along. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:27.120 It's great. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.880 It's always one of my favorite concerts just because it's 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.120 such a wonderful up close experience. 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:33.400 Okay, and it's cool. 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.800 You're like you can feel the ship rocking and you're 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.440 like whoo. You're like, is that the alcohol or is 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:37.880 that the ship? 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.920 Oh? Maybe both? I don't know, but it's great. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.120 Yeah, they put on a full, full concert, which is 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.040 usually like some version of the tour that they did 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:47.760 last year. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.360 It's always a great time. Love it, always, love it. 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:56.040 A good night, and then later in the night the 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.440 next theme night is rodeo night. 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.840 So everybody's dressed as cow boys. Okay, yeah, we got 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.320 which is not you know, a cowboy hat? Is It's 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.280 not easy to travel with a cowboy hat. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.840 Well, you have to get a particular box to put 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:09.199 them in. 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.600 Yeah, who's going to travel? Who's got room for all this? 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.159 And in a in a cruise ship cabin too, it's 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:14.919 not a lot of space. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.800 You've been on six of these things, you've obviously figured 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:19.160 it out. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.520 I've got a science, I get Yeah. 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.200 But now my question is is there a reason it's 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.000 a cowboy night? Is there is one of them a 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.440 cowboy or is this just a good theme to pick? 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:35.520 Well, sometimes the themes are random, okay, But I believe 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.679 they chose rodeo night because the New Kids had performed 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.000 just a couple months ago at a rodeo Okay, got it, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.159 got it, And so I think that was the tie in. 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.880 If not, it's just okay, it's just a rodeo night. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.240 I mean that's fine. I you know, theme nights are 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.399 always good. I just wondered if it was like tied 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:52.960 into a particular thing. 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.320 No, Well, sometimes yes, sometimes no, this time I would say, yes, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.400 got it. But that's always a good time. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.720 And this is always the moment where Joey McIntyre decides 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.000 to do a costume change. 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:04.960 And so he did. 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.640 He went backstage and he came out, and he came 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.120 out and he's not he's wearing his underpants, like he's 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:14.320 wearing okay underpants and Anna, he's carrying a guitar and 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.560 he has a cowboy hat on, like the naked cowboy. 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.080
