00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've learned. It's weird. When I before I

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't want to say anything. Then when

28
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 1: I came out, I just I can't stop talking.

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: I can't.

30
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: I don't want to. I want to tell everything. I

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: don't want to hide anything anymore, which gives me in

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 4: trouble a lot.

33
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm going to really in let's see, let's

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,479

35
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: I can do it.

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: But Johnny Wright, I mean, take it away.

37
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not as good as you guys are in

38
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 5: this thing.

39
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: You know, you were an incredible DJ back and yeah, skating.

40
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 4: Down the entire coast.

41
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. It wasn't a dream. It wasn't a dream.

42
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 5: It was a nightmare on my feet. But yeah, I

43
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 5: mean I still can't get over that.

44
00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: I feel like there's a movie in this.

45
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 5: Well, so I just want to say one thing to that. Like,

46
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 5: you know, there was a guy named Dick Gregory who

47
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 5: was the comedian at one point in time, but he

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 5: got into become this very big health nut and his

49
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 5: kids used to roll a skate with us, and he

50
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 5: found out what I was going to do, and he said,

51
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 5: let me tell you something. Boy, He said, what I

52
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 5: want you to do is take some onions and excuse me, now,

53
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 5: I used to take some oranges and eat the orange peel.

54
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 5: Don't eat the orange. And I'm like why, and he goes,

55
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 5: because that's going to give you energy. And then if

56
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 5: you start to feel a cramp, get a potato and

57
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 5: cut it in half and rub it on you.

58
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: And we're looking at.

59
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 5: This dude, going like, this guy's crazy. The first one

60
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 5: hundred miles that we went, same thing. We were real thirsty,

61
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 5: took a glass of cold water and lemonade, got cramps

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 5: all over the place. So I said, well, let me

63
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 5: try this potato idea. So we went and cut it.

64
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: Within fifteen minutes the cramps were gone.

65
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: Really yeah, I've never heard that. And I'm glad lands

66
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: you get cramps.

67
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: I mean because now that I'm highly diabetic, I get

68
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: these crazy cramps in the middle of the night because you

69
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: get dehydrated. It to the point where it's I feel

70
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: like my achilles is just like punk.

71
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: It is so bad. Potatoes. Potatoes, yeah, the middle.

72
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: Because it takes for every good way. It is the

73
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: most painful thing.

74
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a new thing I'm gonna have to

75
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: do for you, like wretched me and I have the potato.

76
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: You know the signs behind that or.

77
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 5: I have no idea. And because we were just laughing

78
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 5: at him, but you know, we respected him because he

79
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: was an elder. But when it happened, we're.

80
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 4: Like, did you do the orange thing?

81
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 3: Did the orange thing gave you.

82
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: Lots of energy?

83
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: Yeah? But it.

84
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 5: Orange field.

85
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: That was healthy to do that.

86
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 5: And he always told us, don't drink lemonade that's cold,

87
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 5: make sure it's warmthed out. All these things were nasty,

88
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 5: but they worked, you know, So that's just okay.

89
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: Tips, guys, you're welcome. Lance is going to recite this

90
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: potato thing now forever. I know it's going to be anything.

91
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 5: Oh you know, you can just rub.

92
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: Potato potato like it's my idea.

93
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 3: You thought of it.

94
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 4: It's going to be your thing.

95
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 5: Just don't call me in the middle of night.

96
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: Work.

97
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: It's like a prank.

98
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 5: Well, okay, so, mister bass, I have a question for you.

99
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 5: I want to know what your first impression was of

100
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 5: me the first time you met.

101
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: Oh uh, my first impression of you was that you were.

102
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: You have this calmness about you that I wasn't used

103
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: to because everyone in the group is crazy and everyone

104
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: around us is crazy, and so you kind of came

105
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: in as kind of the voice of reason, which was

106
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: it just felt safe, you know. I immediately it was like,

107
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: this guy is awesome. This guy is going to help

108
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: us finally get a record deal, and like, because we

109
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, when you first start, you don't know what's

110
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: going to happen. We didn't know how big it would

111
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: be or even what we'd be doing. And I think that's.

112
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: When we went.

113
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, when we went to Europe, we were just

114
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: kind of trying to find our sound. That's why we

115
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: were looking. I mean we were working with no music

116
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: and I mean just really horrible sounds. But I'm glad

117
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: we did that because we got to really find our

118
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: voice before we came back to America, because America would

119
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: have laughed us off. Yeah the radio if we would

120
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: have started back in ninety five.

121
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, thank you for that.

122
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 5: Was there anything that I ever put you or in

123
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 5: sync in that you questioned and it was like why

124
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 5: are we doing this?

125
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: Hmmm?

126
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: No, I think you always chose the right things for us,

127
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: lou Pearlman. Did I remember one of our first opening

128
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: acts was on a cruise ship. Cruise ships it's a

129
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: small yacht that like bachelorette parties would rent. And we

130
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: opened up for the Chippendales.

131
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: Like a booze cruise.

132
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: It's like a booze cruise. But we opened up for

133
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: the Chippendales. And I remember, I'm sixteen years old, and.

134
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: Uh, he made gay? Wasn't?

135
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: Yeah totally, but.

136
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I remember, I mean there were shoven dollars down our

137
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: pants sixteen years old.

138
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 4: And like, I know, is this this blamer?

139
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 3: I wasn't on that boat.

140
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, So is this gonna be?

141
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,119
Speaker 1: This is our image now? I guess all right, because

142
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: at that point we didn't know what was gonna happen.

143
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: If we just signed with Disney World and be a

144
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: performing act at Disney, that's that would have been fine

145
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: by me. But it definitely got a little bigger after that,

146
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: a little bigger.

147
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

148
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, And how did you truly.

149
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: Feel about me or us?

150
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 5: If you want to say that, managing both you and backstreaming.

151
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: Points, I didn't mind at all.

152
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: It was always uh, you know, I did feel bad

153
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: for the backshot boys because I always try to put

154
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: myself in their shoes, and yeah, I probably would have

155
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: been pissed. I would have felt they were Yeah, yeah, like,

156
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: oh that's I just feel betrayed. Like I said in

157
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: our interview with you, I always dreamt of trans Con being,

158
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, that motown and that we could all work

159
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: together because we really respected those guys. But then when

160
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: we saw just how hurt they were of the whole situation,

161
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, it sucked. And then the rivalry started, and

162
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: then it kind of became fun.

163
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 4: It was kind of fun to.

164
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Have that rival It's like your favorite football teams. Uh,

165
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's the Minnesota Vikings versus the Green Bay Packers.

166
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: It's the Yankees versus the Mets. It's it just keeps

167
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: you better. It keeps you on your game, and I

168
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: think your art gets better and better when you have

169
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: that friendly competition that wasn't so friendly competition.

170
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 3: It's true.

171
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it gets I mean it gets the fans like

172
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: really behind over support it creates.

173
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: And again I don't know if that was like a

174
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: happy mistake, that that just how it I'll shuck out,

175
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: or that was a complete set up, you know by

176
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: the label or Lou.

177
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 5: Or well, I think Lou didn't want because of the

178
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: way that the introduction of you guys being a part

179
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 5: of what we were doing was told to the Backsheet

180
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 5: boys that it was all about me, but Lou had

181
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 5: to support me because we were partners.

182
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: So Lou didn't want the real story.

183
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 5: To come out.

184
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 3: And so that was one of those things.

185
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 5: Were you ever close to any of the Backstreet Boys, Like.

186
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: Not at that time. I mean we had run into

187
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: them in Germany, but no, not all. I've become pretty

188
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: close with a lot of them after the fact. You know,

189
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: DJ is one of our class. I know everyone was

190
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: asking about that because we did the vander Pump Gala

191
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: uh this week and everyone was just asking, wait, so

192
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: we hear the bands get back together. I'm like wait what,

193
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you what are you talking about?

194
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, back sync and you know, because we

195
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: always do it kind of the summertime. Like, oh, like

196
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: you know those guys are on tour this year.

197
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: So but it threw me for a loop.

198
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, what was the most difficult thing about you being.

199
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: In the group.

200
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: I didn't sing, I mean hiding my sexuality. I mean

201
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: I hated that that was so on the forefront of

202
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: my mind at all times that I don't think a

203
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: lot of the times I got to enjoy the ride

204
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: because I was scared so much and just different, like

205
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: scared just for one my safety, Scared that I was

206
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: going to run in Sinc's career, disappointing people, my family

207
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: like it. Just it was a lot on my shoulders.

208
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: And being in the spotlight is you know, it's scary

209
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: because everyone wants to know every little detail about you,

210
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: and when you're hiding such a secret, it's not a

211
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: fun place to be. So a lot of the times, I,

212
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, played ignorant. A lot of times I like,

213
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: okay and try to but you know, every night, when

214
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: it was quiet, that's all I could think about.

215
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 5: Did did you tell the guys that you were coming

216
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: out before the People magazine?

217
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: Most of them, man, I tried, you know. I think

218
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: Justin and Christ are the only ones that I couldn't

219
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: get on the phone. So I left them a message,

220
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: or I left Chris a message because and I don't

221
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: know if people remember, but I had twenty four hours

222
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: to tell everyone. They were writing the story. All the

223
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: magazines are like, look, we know it's confirmed. We're doing

224
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: this story. Do you want to talk with us or

225
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: do you just want us to write the story? And

226
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, so I chose people, you know to tell

227
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: the true story. And yeah, I and I had twenty

228
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: four hours to tell my grandparents, my rest of my family,

229
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: my business people. I mean, I had a sitcom that

230
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: I was doing that now we had to cancel because

231
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: it was you know, and now I'm out. So it

232
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: was it was a lot, Like I I lost a

233
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: lot of people in those twenty four hours. And I

234
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: mean Chris still to this day is upset that I

235
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: did not tell him I was gay, like in the

236
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: group when I because he was the only one in

237
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: the group that asked me just flat out are you gay?

238
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: And I freaked out and I'm like.

239
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: No, what are you talking about?

240
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: So I think he still is upset that I could

241
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: never be honest with them because I think they would

242
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: have had well, especially Chris, would have had fun with it.

243
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely.

244
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: I mean they gave me a lot of shit before,

245
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: but like they would have really like had a lot

246
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: of fun with me being the only gay guy in

247
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the group. But I mean, and I ask you, what

248
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: do you think would have happened if if I came

249
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: out at that time.

250
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I think about that sometimes and I

251
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 5: feel like we were so big at that moment that

252
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 5: you were really feeling the pressure on that that I

253
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: don't think it would have changed the dynamics on the

254
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 5: band at all. I think that, first of all, the

255
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 5: guys who hated us anyways were always saying they're all gay.

256
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know, oh look, and that's what I

257
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 4: tell everyone.

258
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, you know, being gay is no different

259
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: than being in a boy band, because like you get

260
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: called you know and everything. I mean, you're treated like

261
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: you're gay. And that also kept me in the closet

262
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: because I knew how much hate were getting as quote

263
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: unquote straight guys for being It's like the.

264
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 4: Worst thing you could be called is gay.

265
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I always wondered because the only the only

266
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: example I had of someone coming out at that time

267
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: was Ellen DeGeneres right, and it was a horrible coming out.

268
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: She got fired from everything, everyone hated her.

269
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: It was just bad.

270
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: And so that again, maybe even go deeper.

271
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh nope, yeah, well, I mean again, that's

272
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 5: personal decision. But if you were to do it, I

273
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 5: think we would have worked through that. My question is

274
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 5: you had a relationship with Danielle.

275
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: Did she know? No, she did not know.

276
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 2: We interviewed her recently, and yes, she was.

277
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: She was in love. She thought she was getting married

278
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: her family.

279
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: And of course, I mean she was eighteen years old,

280
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: you know, first love, you know, our whole prom night.

281
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: You know, it was the cookie cutter of what she

282
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: saw her parents go through, so she thought she was

283
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: going to have that. And again I thought, I thought

284
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: that I was in love, Like I thought if I

285
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: was going to marry someone and have kids and like

286
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: do the whole straight thing and hide myself like so

287
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: many people do, that's the one like how could you

288
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: not love her? But then it just got to the

289
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: point where I didn't want to hurt her and I

290
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: had to call it quits. You know, it was our

291
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: prominnit and I was like, that was the night that

292
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: I knew, Okay, I can't do this to someone.

293
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 5: So then in that conversation was it like, oh, well,

294
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 5: sex can't happen until we get married. I'm saving myself.

295
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 5: Very religious, and that was the other good crutch.

296
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: I was super Christian, so like it was a great excuse, like, well,

297
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, you can't have sex before marriage.

298
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 4: So that one I used a lot, a lot, but yeah.

299
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: But then it just got to you know, the older

300
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: you get, the more I mean, you're you're growing up,

301
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: you're getting sexual, you're having your first relationships, and yes,

302
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: that is always going to lead to sex.

303
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: And my thing is I.

304
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Did not want her to lose her virginity to a

305
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: guy that and at that point I knew I was

306
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: going to be able to be myself at some point,

307
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: Like I knew I was gonna be out because I

308
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: just knew I couldn't be with a girl. I just

309
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: didn't know when that was gonna be. But I did

310
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: not want her to look back and be like, good lord,

311
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: I lost Margina too a gay guy, which I think

312
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: she would probably say like, oh, I don't like I

313
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have minded that because you.

314
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: Know, we didn't have a love.

315
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 5: Well I'm curious what was when she found out?

316
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: How did she feel about that?

317
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, because when I came out, you know,

318
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: I didn't There was a lot of people that I

319
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: just didn't really talk to, and I think she was pissed,

320
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, just being lied to. I think the biggest

321
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: thing that I hear what came out. I was like,

322
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: why would you lie to me? Why would you lie

323
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: to me? And people can't get over that. So I

324
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: think her and you know we call Big D Chris's

325
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: girlfriend like that whole crew. I think we're just really

326
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: upset with me, not for me just coming out, but

327
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: what I did to Danielle, like they thought I broke

328
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: her art. So yeah, it was you know, so I

329
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: just kind of again kind of ignorantly ignored all that.

330
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, this didn't happen. This didn't happen. Do

331
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: you ever talk now all the time. We're really close now.

332
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: Years went by where we didn't really we weren't in

333
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: each other's lives. I mean she, I know, she kind

334
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: of went out and found herself, and you know, I

335
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: think she.

336
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: Married before, she was married before.

337
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: But now we're really good, especially since we had children. Yeah,

338
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: we bond over our kids. We're producing a movie together

339
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: right now. They're actually turning our prom night into a

340
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: movie or Laughcus and Mary Hollins right in it. And

341
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a comedy obviously.

342
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

343
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: And it's not Lance Bass and daniel official, but it's

344
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: it is our story. I think it's gonna be super cute,

345
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: and so that really kind of brought us back together,

346
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: like in the recent years.

347
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: I'm glad to hear that.

348
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 5: So there have been other members of other boy bands

349
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 5: that have come out. Have you spoken to them and

350
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 5: like show support of how this goes.

351
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: Is there a.

352
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: Community that you guys have where you text or get together? Uh?

353
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's not only just with boy bands

354
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: and musicians, but actors too. I'm kind of like the

355
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: go to guy to contact before you come out. Oh well,

356
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean Jason Collins the basketball player, like Robbie Rogers

357
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: the soccer player. Like all these people contacted me and

358
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: they want to go, let's go have lunch and you know,

359
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: and get the courage you know, to come out. And

360
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: and I like being that guy. I like being the

361
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: sounding board. So you know, there's a lot of entertainers

362
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: out there that I know their secret and they still

363
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: haven't come out yet. So yeah, they do, right, but

364
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: they yeah, they reach out, which I think is lovely

365
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: and it really bonded Jonathan Knight and myself love John

366
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: I think he's just like one of the best people.

367
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: And I love that we're able to just be candid

368
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: with each other about our experiences about being gay, and

369
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: his husband is one of my close friends, Harley, So yeah,

370
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: it's been It really bonded us for sure.

371
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: Wow that's great.

372
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,359

373
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,520

374
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: board for people out there, because it is scary in

375
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: this business.

376
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 4: Even today, you would think it is so easy to.

377
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: Come out and not be scared that it's going to

378
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: change your career. I mean it's just in the last

379
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: five ten years that you've had LGBT artists on the radio, right,

380
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: you know that are out and proud. So yeah, so

381
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: you know, if I can help anyone out there, just

382
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:31,480

383
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: Slide to my DMS.

384
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: All right.

385
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 5: So the band, you guys were all family who got

386
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 5: on your nerves the most?

387
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: Oh trying to say, I'm sure each guy got on

388
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: nerves for different reasons, but I mean Chris was the

389
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: one that always you know, because Chris is always on,

390
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: just always on, always making a joke, and interviews like

391
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: this would take twice as long because Chris would just

392
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: be Chris, and so on long press days where you'd

393
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: have to wake up at five in the morning, and

394
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: do six hours of radio back to back to back

395
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: to back to back, and then Chris is, you know,

396
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: being Chris in every single interview, making it so long

397
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: and you're so tired, and you're like, just shut off, grass,

398
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: let us, let's get on to the next one.

399
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 5: Do you remember the time you guys were doing radio

400
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 5: in Germany and that question came up by the interviewer

401
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 5: and it's like, well, who's the funny guy of the group,

402
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 5: and everyone said it was Chris, and he says, well,

403
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 5: tell us a joke. You remember the knock knock joke

404
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 5: he did.

405
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 4: Oh god, what I can only imagine.

406
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 5: He said, knock knocking. She goes, who's there? And he goes,

407
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 5: I'll ask all the questions.

408
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: I do that.

409
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 4: I as the questions.

410
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: And I also remember, God, we were doing I think

411
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 1: it was no strings attached because we were in Japan

412
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: or somewhere, and so the time difference was, you know,

413
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: really different. We had to get up two in the morning,

414
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: three in the morning and do like KTLA's and all that,

415
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: and I remember it would go from video to radio

416
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: and you just you know, they would tell you okay,

417
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: now it's video you're live, or just radio and we

418
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: were doing KTLA and we were so tired, but they

419
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: told us it was a radio station. So I'm sitting

420
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: back in my chair.

421
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 4: Like totally like rolling my eyes and a lot.

422
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: Of the questions, you know, and just acting like stupid,

423
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: like like what the fuck all on camera like they're

424
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: seeing me, and so they all thought I was wasted

425
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: like that. It's like Lance was so drunk in this interview.

426
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: He's just like sitting back on his chair like rolling

427
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: his eyes at everything, like just being like an asshole

428
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: to the interviewer.

429
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, that was That was a moment.

430
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: So that's who mostly gets on your nerves. Who do

431
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 5: you confide in?

432
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: Oh hmmm, in different stages, it was different people. Justin

433
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: for sure was my go to at the beginning of

434
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: the group because we were close to the same age,

435
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: we came from the same area. We just really could

436
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: relate to a lot of things, so that would be

437
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: my kind of go to to have a sounding board.

438
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: But then it quickly became Chris because we were roommates

439
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: and I lived lived on his futon and we were

440
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,239
Speaker 1: just like inseparable like frick and frack, like you know.

441
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: He was my older brother and we could talk about everything,

442
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: and I learned so much from these guys because I was,

443
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, I lived a sheltered life. I had never

444
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: lived on my own. I never you know, these guys

445
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: have been working already. And then and then it became

446
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: Joey like Joey. I feel like even today, of everyone,

447
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: I can call Joey and just be like hey and

448
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: just kind of, you know, let things out that developed

449
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: over in Which was the lead for you guys doing

450
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: on the line?

451
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 3: Correct?

452
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, m m yeah, And that was that was a

453
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: fun time. I mean, of course, hindsight, I would do

454
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: so many things differently, like you know, like not go

455
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: with the first script they threw at us, like maybe

456
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: I should have read like ten scripts?

457
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: Are you going with that movie?

458
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: That was a master It was fun and it came

459
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: together so quickly because you know, we're all Hams and

460
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: we all love film and television. We would always make

461
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: little mini movies and we lived in Germany, so I

462
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: always wanted to do what the Beatles did and do funny,

463
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: stupid little movies, you know, And we got close to

464
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: doing that because that's when we were talking to Tom

465
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Hanks and all those people that really wanted to do

466
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: an en Sync movie. But then the guys, half the

467
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: guys just like, now, we're not into this. And that's

468
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: where Harvey Weinstein was like, well, I'll do one with

469
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: you and Joey You're like, okay, we'll star in a

470
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: movie we've never acted before in our lives, but let's

471
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: do this. You know, it was if you don't do this,

472
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: it's no theatrical release. If you can't get Richie sionboard. No,

473
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,560

474
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: up at the premiere in pajamas because he, you know,

475

Speaker 3: No, he was mad at you guys.

500
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 5: Because you guys he didn't feel you were literally like

00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 5: honing in on your craft and what you don't remember this?

502
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 5: And he made you guys like do the harmonies like

503
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 5: two or three times because he's like, you guys are

504
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 5: just not getting those notes right.

505
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I don't even remember that.

506
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 5: It's actually on film.

507
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: No, I need to see that.

508
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: He could know no wrong in my eyes.

509
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: To me.

510
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 5: When I heard him, I was like, oh my god,

511
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 5: this is going to be bad.

512
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 3: Like he seems mad.

513
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 5: But he was given this whole speech about doesn't matter

514
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 5: how big you are, forget about the audience and the girls.

515
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 5: You got to really hone in on your crass and

516
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 5: the first thing is your voice and you guys need

517
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 5: to protect it and you need.

518
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 3: To warm up and debt ed.

519
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's the reason that we started wearing in

520
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: ears right because we were in Germany and we had

521
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: just met them, saw them on tour, and we didn't

522
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: know at the time that girls put out a certain

523
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: pitch that will make you go deaf. So he was

524
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: the first to show us what in ears were and

525
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, that's gonna one day we'll

526
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: be able to afford these.

527
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 4: This is awesome.

528
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 5: What was your favorite TV performance?

529
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden HBO special. Really, Yeah, that was just

530
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: I think it's the best. I mean, besides the Disney

531
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: Channel obviously that was very special, but performance wise, I

532
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: think that is if I were to tell someone that

533
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: doesn't know anything about in Sync, I would say watch

534
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: the Nose Strings Attached HBO Special because I think that

535
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: really encompasses everything that we were all about.

536
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 4: That was my favorite tour for sure.

537
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a great tour.

538
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 5: The TV performance that stood out the best to me

539
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 5: was the MTV Awards when you guys put.

540
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 4: The heads oh bye bye bye.

541
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Wade Robson Man, Yeah, I mean, that's

542
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: an iconic It made an iconic moment. I mean, we

543
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: and the VMA's that was the playground. Yeah, even more

544
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: than the Grammys. You know, Grammys had to be a

545
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: little more subdued, but VMAs it was all about like

546
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: everyone had to one up everyone.

547
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 5: We were the first ones to fly on TV. We

548
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 5: were Garth Brooks was the first one I ever saw too.

549
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 5: Yeah then I knew that Backtreet Boys had it in

550
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 5: their live show.

551
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 3: But on Sailing.

552
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: Sailing at the billboardal or the Grammys, Yeah, Billboard War Yeah,

553
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: because I remember almost kicked Mariah Carey in the face.

554
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, wow, oh god.

555
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: That was a great member of Sailing. Yeah, that's a

556
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 4: that was a great one.

557
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: And when which was a cool, really cool full circle moment,

558
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: when we did the Beg's medley at the Bambi Awards

559
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: to honor the Beg's and give them the Lifetime Achievement

560
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: Award and then eight years later do it at the Grammys,

561
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: the same medley, giving them again their Lifetime ACHIEVA Award.

562
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was and that was the last time

563
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: we performed on television. I believe that was our last performance.

564
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 5: So with your kids at the age that they are

565
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,240

569
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: songs because I'm sure they would love.

570
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right.

571

Speaker 1: songs are incredible. They're all bops, like you would listen

579
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: to it and be like, oh, that's that's a radio song.

580
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: But it's all about you know, children themed things. How

581
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: do you get involved with this?

582
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 5: Well, Jordan O'Malley, who is a great producer, produced music

583
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 5: for AJ McClain and a bunch of other people. He

584
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 5: came to me and he said, I have this idea

585
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 5: and it's this animated series and it's all about music,

586
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 5: and it's you know, showing kids like great things that

587
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 5: they should be doing in their life. But it wasn't

588
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 5: just about the music. He also has a lesson play

589
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 5: for schools and they have a full animated comic book

590
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 5: in the Whole Nine Yard so when I saw it,

591
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 5: you know, and when I heard the music, I was like, well,

592
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 5: you're taking tracks and music as if you were going

593
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 5: to put them on real band. So that's the quality

594
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 5: of the production behind this. And you're writing these clever

595
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 5: songs that kids can start to sing and talk about

596
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 5: brushing your teeth and being kind to people and.

597
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 3: Stuff like that. So I was really excited about it.

598
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 5: And again, these characters don't call you at three o'clock

599
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 5: in the morning when they have a problem, and they're not,

600
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: you know, so.

601
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 4: Easier to manage.

602
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 5: So for me it was like, okay, so I can

603
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 5: be involved in this project. And again not that I

604
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 5: have kids that age, but you know, I have a

605
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 5: lot of friends, and when I played it for him,

606
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 5: they were like, oh my god, this is great.

607
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 3: Any other thing about.

608
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 5: It was really interesting too, because there is this question

609
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 5: out there should be three D or two D, you know,

610
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 5: And what we kind of found out and research did

611
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 5: was that some kids are scared of the three D

612
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 5: animation and they're more common connect and connected to the

613
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 5: two D, so we wanted to keep it that way.

614
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 5: So AJ had done one of the songs, and so

615
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 5: I was just saying to Jordan like Lance would be

616
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 5: great on this, and he's you know, we're like with

617
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 5: Lance always says that I'm not a lead singer, so

618
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 5: let's create a song and put it in a key

619
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 5: that he's comfortable with and that he'd be able to

620
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 5: really do this song in a great way. And when

621
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 5: I got the track back, I was like, oh, this

622
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 5: is amazing. And as you know, I text you and

623
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 5: I said you should put out a whole album. So

624
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 5: but yeah, Stacey Little, it's on YouTube and YouTube kids

625
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 5: right now. There's about twenty eight episodes and you're the

626
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 5: next one up, and we're looking forward to the world

627
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 5: seeing it.

628
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's really fine. But yeah, Jordan is

629
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: the type of person that's who you want to work with,

630
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: right His detail and his passion about everything. I've never

631
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: had anyone not only produce and write and all that.

632
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: But he's sending us social media assets and being like, Okay,

633
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: we'll do this, and his game plan is just so on. Yeah,

634
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: you want to do her like that. He's a good

635
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: and I definitely want to work with him again in

636
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: the future. Absolutely, all right, Station Little, check it out,

637
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: check it out. And this is what's so great about

638
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: having kids, your perspective changes a lot, and then the

639
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: art you want to create is stuff for your kids, right,

640
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: And that's kind of where I'm at right now working

641
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: on this Puufa and the Gang cartoon. I've been, you know,

642
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: doing writing children's books now and then Station Little, the

643
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: one that you're producing, is so great because as a parent,

644
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: you can only listen to Coco Melon.

645
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: Severe No so much like one time.

646
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: One time, and they do it's like crack. So I

647
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: didn't like how they spaced out. I know, and they

648
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: love it, but I can't deal with it. But Station

649
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: Little is great because you use amazing writers and producers

650
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: and it's songs that sounds like it would be on

651
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: the radio.

652
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: Well, Jordan O'Malley, who's one of the producers of it,

653
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 5: you know, he produced real music, so.

654
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: Yeah he was, and he was Aj McLean's best man,

655
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: or AJ was his best man in his wedding.

656
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

657
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

658
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 5: So when they came together on this, it wasn't going

659
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 5: to be I mean, there's nothing wrong with wheels on

660
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 5: the bus, go around the round, but they wanted to

661
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 5: take real situations that kids would be a part of

662
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 5: and tournamental song but have the production, the music as

663
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 5: real songs, So even if you didn't watch it physically

664
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 5: and you just heard the song, it would actually have

665
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 5: a connection to you. So I'm so happy that you've

666
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 5: done something and we're looking forward to putting it fun.

667
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: It was fun to be back in the studio. You know,

668
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: it's been a long time, but yeah, I mean I

669
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: had so much fun doing that song and it's a bop. Yeah,

670
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: it's stuck in my head all the time.

671
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 5: And it was interesting because when we talked about it,

672
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 5: it was like, well, you know one thing that Lance

673
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 5: always telling me about. It's like, look, I'm not going

674
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 5: to do an album, so I have to find other things,

675
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 5: which again is why your career has done what you've done.

676
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 5: You've branched out to do so many different things. So

677
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 5: I said to him, when you're putting the song together,

678
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 5: make sure you put it in a key that's comfortable.

679
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: So when you did it, I was like.

680
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 5: A Lance can actually put an album out right.

681
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: And it's just so rare that anyone would write anything

682
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: in my key, because yes, I am as you can

683
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: tell a bass.

684
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 5: Uh.

685
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: I wish I had a higher voice. I mean Randy

686
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: Travis did it.

687
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.

688
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: So, I mean there's been examples, but not enough examples

689
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: for me to have really gone far it because I one,

690
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: especially in the insane days, I had zero confidence, Like

691
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: I did not think I was talented at all.

692
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 4: I was always feeling guilty. I'm like, why am I here?

693
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: I How am I?

694
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 5: Like?

695
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 3: Wow?

696
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: Because everyone was so good, I'm like why why how

697
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: did y'all choose me? So I was afraid to stand out.

698
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: I was afraid to want to go for that solo

699
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: because I just didn't think I had the chops at all.

700
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: So back in the day, we put you through the

701
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 5: boot camp in the hangar that had no ace, so

702
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 5: you were sweating all the time during that time period.

703
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: Did you ever feel like we're just wasting our time,

704
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 5: this is not going to happen.

705
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: Yes, for sure, because you know, I one have no patience,

706
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: even as a sixteen year old, just no patience. Just

707
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: we want everything to happen, and you know, you get

708
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: promised a lot of things.

709
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 4: Especially Lou.

710
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: Lou was always you know.

711
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: Like, oh, you guys are gonna be big, Oh it's

712
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: gonna you know, just had all this plan that everything

713
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: was just going to happen. Immediately and it didn't you know,

714
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: we couldn't get a record deal. No, timmy man told

715
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: everyone was like, no, not going to happen. And then

716
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: it was the summer of ninety six and I was

717
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: going to go back to Mississippi and finish my senior

718
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: year of high school because just nothing was happening.

719
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 4: We would do a little show here.

720
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: We would just rehearse every day, and I told the guys, look,

721
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: I'll come back on the weekends, like we still want

722
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: to do this, but you know, if it's like this,

723
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: I want to at least be able to welcome my friends, right.

724
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to finish my senior year and

725
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: I was packing my bags to go back to Mississippi

726
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: when you called and said, hey, you're signing with BMG.

727
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: Really you have to go to Germany like in a

728
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: couple of days. Yep, what And that type of stuff

729
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: happens to me my whole life. Oh yeah, that was

730
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: the first. You have to truly you can't fool yourself.

731
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: You have to truly believe that okay, it might be,

732
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: it's done, you know, and just and accept it. And

733
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the universe like slaps you

734
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: with what you need. And then that just happened recently

735
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: we were moving to Nashville, was there literally looking at

736
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: a house, loved it, gonna get it. And then right

737
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: when I land is when I get a call about

738
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: a new project that's going to keep me here, and

739
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: I I was done. I was completely done with music.

740
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: I mean it was the first time like it's over,

741
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: Like I just want to live a nice, simple life,

742
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, continue the TV film, everything, but the music

743
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: part is just completely over. It'll never ever happen again.

744
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: And now music is now landed back to that. But

745
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: I had to but I had to truly just be

746
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: okay with accepting that it's done.

747
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 5: And what was the one moment that made you feel like, oh, yeah,

748
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 5: it's gonna happen, It's gonna be real.

749
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: I mean, it was so quick in Europe. I mean

750
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: we always in America was always where we wanted to

751
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: be because that's what you grew up with, and you know,

752
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: that's that's you want your friends and family to hear you.

753
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: But when we got to Europe, I mean we were

754
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: on the cover of every magazine before we released a song.

755
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: It was just so immediate on how huge we were

756
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: and you felt like, wow, this is what the Beatles

757
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: felt like. There's thousands of people chasing us down the

758
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: street and camped out of the hotels like this is

759
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: It just seemed like a dream, Like it didn't seem real,

760
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: it was a movie. It just all seemed fake, and

761
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: especially in a different country where you didn't know any

762
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: of the stuff, it just felt like I was living

763
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: a fake life.

764
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 5: I remember the time for Germany, for those that will

765
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 5: understand that there was a TRL like MTV I had

766
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 5: here and that was called Vivo, and I remember going

767
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 5: into the Vivo studios like an hour before the show

768
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 5: was going to air, and there probably was like ten

769
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 5: or fifteen girls outside in that studio parking lot area,

770
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 5: and when you guys came out, there had to be

771
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 5: two hundred to two hundred and fifty and they jumped

772
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 5: all over the bus and wouldn't get off, and we

773
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: had to send security out to scatter them. And it

774
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 5: was like that was one of the moments where I

775
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 5: was like, Okay, this is about to.

776
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 1: Go yeah, and you know I did obviously you had

777
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: seen this before, so I didn't know what to expect.

778
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: But the day that I felt like I had made

779
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: it was when we did Rosie O'Donnell because it was

780
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: the biggest show at the time. I loved her and

781
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: she just never I mean we were on jay Leno

782
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: all that, but like for some reason, she never had

783
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: a song yet. I'm like, well, we haven't made it

784
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: unless we do Rosie. And then she finally had a song,

785
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: and that's when I felt that people knew who we

786
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: were for the first time.

787
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 5: Memories. So, if you had to put the ultimate boy

788
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 5: band together, now the group that you would be in

789
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 5: five guys, who would it be?

790
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's so it's like you know, picking children. Well,

791
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: we'd have to definitely cover all the vocal you know, basses,

792
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: so you know I'm the bass, So Kevin Richardson, you're out.

793
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: I'd have to Okay, which poison Maan because Poisman has

794
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: to be in it, because that's mainly the reason why

795
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: we all stared just one, No, just want I got

796
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: to pick one, Okay, you can't double dip supergroup, yeah,

797
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,440

Speaker 4: the runs, get their lead singer. I can't pick any

800
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 4: InSync guy because I'm already in it.

801
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: Uh, the backshed boy I would choose would be a

802
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: j just because I love I love watching him perform.

803

Speaker 1: I think he's such a great performance. I love his voice.

804
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 1: So that's three two more Okay in a perfect world, Okay,

805
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: one direction Harry Styles Okay, yeah, yeah, because we you know,

806
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: got to bring in a little young and then okay,

807
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: to give it a little Latin flavor, let's put Ricky

808
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: Martin in there.

809
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 3: Wow.

810
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 4: I mean that's that's a super good supergroup. Yeah yeah,

811
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 4: what would you call? Oh my gosh, super group?

812
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: So literal, just like in Germany and England, there's just

813
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: so literal about everything speak it of. I've always I've

814
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: asked every single person coming on the show, where did

815
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: the term boy band come from? Where do you think

816
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: when did that start?

817
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 5: We were always a vocal group.

818
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we said, because we didn't hear the

819
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: name boy band until we landed in Germany. We're like, oh,

820
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: what's what's a boy band?

821
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it was caught in the act world's apart.

822
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: That was the Like I wonder if it was England

823
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: or Germany, because both of them sounds like that would.

824
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 3: Be a term that came from over there. But we

825
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 3: always said we're not a boy band.

826
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 4: Well yeah, it was a negative thing. Yeah, it was

827
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 4: a way to insult someone.

828
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 3: And then when.

829
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 5: America picked up on that, that's when it's like you

830
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 5: can't escape this.

831
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

832
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a pretty good group. Now, if you were

833
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 5: doing the movie on in Sync and you had to

834
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 5: cast all the parts, but they with celebrities now not unknowns,

835
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 5: who would you get to play each member?

836
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: Okay, Ron Reynolds has to be in it. I mean

837
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: I'd wanted to play me, but of course he'd played Justin.

838
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, actually I know who would play Justin.

839
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: It would be uh Ron Gosling. Okay, yeah, Ryan Gosling

840
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: would play Justin. They obviously work together and know each other,

841
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: so he would nail that. So I get, I get

842
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: you get Ryan? Wait what I say? So I get

843
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, I know, I know it's far fetched,

844
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,439
Speaker 1: but it's my movie, okay, And I know he loves

845
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: boy bands. I heard there was a there's an off

846
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: Broadway play where they take celebrity autobiographies and you know,

847
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: they do readings from him, and he played me in

848
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: one of these.

849
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 3: Really.

850
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I heard a rumor that he was doing a

851
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 5: movie or something where he was supposed to be putting

852
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 5: a boy band.

853
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 1: I heard that too. Yeah, yeah, I heard that too.

854
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it's true or either it just didn't

855
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: go anywhere. But you know the movie that I'm doing,

856
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: the RV movie for people that know it's these it's

857
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: a true story about these girls that win a Winnebago

858
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: on the Price Is Right and followed us on our

859
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: stadium tour.

860
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

861
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: And Sony is making that movie. And I always wanted

862
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: Ryan because just like what we're doing here building a band,

863
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: I wanted that band at the end of the movie

864
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: to be stunt casted with all those guys like Jake, Jillenhall,

865
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling. Okay, yeah, Jake would be in it.

866
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: Jake would play jac.

867
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, okay, yeah, I can see that. Uh huh.

868
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 4: Chris Catan would play Chris Kapaston.

869
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 5: Yeah that is funny.

870
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 4: And Joey and Guy Fiery for Joey, yes.

871
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Danny de Vito could be Joeyer.

872
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 4: Is like guy Fiery for Joey, Yeah sure, and Guy

873
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,439
Speaker 4: Pier and who's loo oh my gosh.

874
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: Uh, Lou Pearlman would be GMT, Jeannetty, Paul, Jim Jimmy.

875
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: I think it should be Melissa McCarthy and Dragon hilarious.

876
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: But the one that really would have been is passed

877
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: away perfect casting.

878
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 5: Is there anything that you've done, either in sync or

879
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 5: in your own endeavors, that you wouldn't have done now

880
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 5: and you would have done it differently?

881
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 4: Oh? All, yeah, lots of things.

882
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm not that type of person like, oh, I wouldn't

883
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: change anything. I would change everything. Yeah, well one I

884
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: would have come out, Okay, I would have you know.

885
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,959
Speaker 1: I wish I could have just tested that boundary, and

886
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: I think it just would have been It would have

887
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: been fun. I think I don't know, but I just

888
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: I want to know what that would have been like

889
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: at the height of our career. I think I could

890
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: have helped a lot of people because there weren't really

891
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: many people out that you can relate to, and I

892
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: think a lot of guys out there could have related

893
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: to a young guy from Mississippi, very religious, and I

894
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: think it could have helped a lot of people. I

895
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: think also I would never have done an autobiography in

896
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: which I remember David Geffen we were at a party

897
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: and then he was like, oh what reck I was like, oh,

898
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, because this publisher wanted me to write the

899
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: space story, like oh on space, but of course you

900
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: had to write everything in our whole life story. And

901
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: he was like, Nope, don't do it. Like what he goes,

902
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: don't do it kiss a death like okay. And yeah,

903
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good experience because a lot of people

904
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: took it badly. Some stories I probably shouldn't have told.

905
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: And you know, you get, I want to say, tricked

906
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: into doing things, but you know, you have a co

907
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: writer with you and you're doing all these interviews and everything,

908
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: and then they kind of convince You're like, well you

909
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: got to keep it. You gotta be wraw, you got

910
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 1: to show your motion. So when I say I was

911
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: devastated and felt betrayed when en Sync broke up.

912
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 4: That's how I felt at that time.

913
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: But I was, yeah, yeah, it was it was you know,

914
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: and so but that's what I felt.

915
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 4: It was such a It.

916
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: Was hard because it came from like it was just

917
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: out of the blue for me, and I felt like

918
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: everyone knew except me. I felt like I was on

919
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: the outside. And so when it was just kind of

920
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: ripped it just felt like what just happened? And then

921
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: I felt like it was all my fault because I

922
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: did feel like I was the only one that didn't

923
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: know what was about to happen. So I felt like,

924
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: then it's because of me. So I've lived with this

925
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: for years, thinking that I'm the reason that no one

926
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: wanted to continue with the band and I didn't end again.

927
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: At that time, I was like, is it because they

928
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,399
Speaker 1: think I'm gay? You know, I didn't know if that

929
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: was the reason. I think because I thought people were

930
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: really starting to figure it out, because I heard rumors

931
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 1: even on that last tour, and you know, Joe mobile

932
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: Hill was, you know, talking about it, and I'm like,

933
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: oh god, and then you know we stopped, and I'm like,

934
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: is it because they thought that it was I was

935
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: about to be outed?

936
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 3: You know?

937
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 4: But you know, you create these stupid things that you know.

938
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 5: No, we had so much more to do. I mean, uh,

939
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 5: if we had all decided to stay together in that moment, Yeah,

940
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 5: were you surprised, Well, was it what you expected of

941
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 5: the number of people that showed up Hollywood Boulevard for

942
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 5: the walk?

943
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: Oh? My god?

944
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: You know what, I wasn't surprised our fans. I mean,

945
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: you feel it.

946
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 3: And that was crazy. There were so many people.

947
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the last twenty three years we have not

948
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, been a band. You still feel the fandom

949
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, you know when you're I mean

950
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: you just you know it. You're with the public every day.

951
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: And so I knew if we were going to do

952
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: that that it was going to be special because one

953
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: it might be the last time you ever see us together.

954
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: So I knew the fans were going to fly in

955
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: from everywhere just because it's a it's a moment for them.

956
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 4: It's almost like closure.

957
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 1: And and that's what it felt like to me too,

958
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: was finally there was an ending chapter.

959
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 4: We were all together. It was such a fun day.

960
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: We had that pop up, all the fans were there,

961
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: it shut down Hollywood Boulevard. I just thought that was

962
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: a nice little button like DoD okay.

963
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 4: That was that was nice.

964
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 5: And uh yeah, And what was the conversation that convinced

965
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 5: you guys to do the show? Ariana Grande can get

966
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 5: it right.

967
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 4: I mean, that was easy on my part.

968
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: You know, we all five wanted to do it, but

969
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 1: justin you know, his last show was during Coachella, which

970
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: I hate that he wasn't able to to join us. Uh,

971
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: but I mean Ariana called me, you know, and she's

972
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: just like, would you think anyone would do this? I'm like, uh, yeah,

973
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: you're fucking Ariana Grande and it's coach Hella. Uh and

974
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: we haven't performed in years, Like I'm in you just

975
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: have to convince JC. So you know, the next call

976
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: was JC, and he immediately was like, yeah, this sounds

977
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: fun and it was so organic and fun.

978
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 4: I just loved it.

979
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: And she made us relevant with this younger generation people

980
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: that didn't know who in Sync was. I mean, ZINC

981
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: was trending well for a long time after that, and

982
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean she gave us a nice little gift that night.

983
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 5: And what was rehearsals like going into that being that

984
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 5: you guys hadn't been together for a while.

985
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 4: Just like no day had passed. Oh really, oh yeah,

986
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 4: was out of breath.

987
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 3: Nobody had to, not that I know of.

988
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: Because now me today, I'm better now than I was

989
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: within Sync, Like I'm a better dancer now, I'm in

990
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: better condition now. I think I'm a better singer now.

991
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: So like I was, I was ready, like was ready

992
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: to be like okay, now I can do this, And

993
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: I think all the guys are the same way. They

994
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: they know if you give them a goal, they're going

995
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: to hit it. Like, hey, we're performing in two weeks. Done, great,

996
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: I'll be in shape. I got it done. And yeah,

997
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: it was just it was fun. It was like, there's

998
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: just a lot of fun.

999
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 5: So in the past when you guys were together, I

1000
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 5: mean there were a few buses, Like you guys kind

1001
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 5: of had three buses for the five of you. If

1002
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 5: there was ever a time that you'd come back together

1003
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 5: and go on tour, would you have your own bus,

1004
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 5: who would be on it? Would you take your kids

1005
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 5: on the road.

1006
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: I'd have my own bus for sure. I had to

1007
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: share with Joey and that was just stinky and nobody

1008
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: to do that. Yeah, I mean we had a good time,

1009
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: but like Joey's a mess, you know.

1010
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,240
Speaker 4: But it was fun. I mean we never had separate

1011
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 4: buses on ours.

1012
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 3: It was always three and two.

1013
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: And I kind of liked our bus because you know,

1014
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: JC and Justin and Chris, they took the shows way

1015
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: more seriously than we did on tour.

1016
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, like we were just you know, you would have fun.

1017
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 4: If there was a mess up.

1018
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 1: Okay, I fell, I'd hit that flat note like whatever,

1019
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: say okay, you know we had fun with it. But

1020
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: those guys would come back on the bus and they

1021
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: would just nitpick every little detail of what went wrong

1022
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: on that show, right, you know they were perfectionists, and uh,

1023
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a perfectionist in many ways, but like,

1024
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: I didn't really care about little lives.

1025
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it was just fun. I like mess ups

1026
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 4: when I when I see the show, you know, so yeah,

1027
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 4: I so it was.

1028
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: It was definitely a less uh less anxiety on our bus.

1029
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: But I would do it by myself this time, just

1030
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: because I want.

1031
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 3: The kids to experience this.

1032
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and your husband, he's allowed to come, I guess.

1033
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: But that was what was so fun, you know about

1034
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: being so young and being on the road was being

1035
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: able to bring your friends and family on the road

1036
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: and let them have that experience. Like, my friends had

1037
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: so much fun. They would be crazy as I'm working

1038
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. They get to go have fun.

1039
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: But the bonds and the stories that they have to

1040
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: this day. I mean, I'm still so close to all

1041
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: my high school friends because they got to really kind

1042
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: of experience this whole en sync run.

1043
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 3: That's nice.

1044
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 5: So I have one more question and would gootia with

1045
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 5: the fan questions During the lawsuit with Lou and the

1046
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 5: perception out there was that you were going to lose

1047
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 5: your name? What did you think if that happened you

1048
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 5: were going to do as your next step?

1049
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 1: It was obviously a very troubling time. And yes, we

1050
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: weren't able to use our name because Lou owned that.

1051
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: I do remember Chris because you know, Chris had this

1052
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: real bond of Lou.

1053
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 4: I mean he started the.

1054
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: Group and all that, and you know, even knowing what

1055
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: a con man Lou turned out to be, Chris still

1056
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 1: was kind of on his side, like he didn't want

1057
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: to leave. He's like, you know, we we're good where

1058
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: we're at. We'll just try to renegotiate, which was not

1059
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: going to happen. But I know it was jac and

1060
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: I that were like no, no, no, no, no, like this

1061
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: this has gone too far. This is stupid. But you know,

1062
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: we didn't know if we'd have a label. We didn't

1063
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: know if we had a name. We were gonna have

1064
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: to start over. And you're always told out of sight,

1065
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: out of mind, out of sight, out of mine. So

1066
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: there was definitely a time where we thought our career

1067
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 1: would be over because if we were dormant for too long,

1068
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: another band was gonna come in and replace us.

1069
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 3: Well, what an experience.

1070
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 5: All right, I'm gonna go to some bank questions. Okay,

1071
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 5: this is Taylor Gibson wants to know. Do you ever

1072
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 5: get in sync song stuck in your head?

1073
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 3: Oh?

1074
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 4: Yes, there's one song in particular, and sorry, fight right,

1075
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 4: I know you're gonna say, here we go, Here we go.

1076
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 3: Really every time he takes off.

1077
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: The bane of my existence, and that thing is I

1078
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 1: probably would like the song if this didn't happen. Every

1079
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: time I take off on a plane for the last

1080
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: thirty something years, all I hear in my head.

1081
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 4: Is here we go.

1082
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 3: Literally we go.

1083
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 4: Every single time.

1084
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: So imagine the amount of flights I've flown in the

1085
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: last thirty years.

1086
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 4: It's it's a lot. So yes, I've grown to hate

1087
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 4: that song.

1088
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 3: First song in the reunion.

1089
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, Oh god.

1090
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 3: All right.

1091
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 5: Jen Dudson wants to know what's the craziest thing ever

1092
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 5: thrown on stage?

1093
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 4: Can I say it?

1094
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1095
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: I guess we're adults, right, Yeah, yeah, I think the

1096
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: I mean dildo's for sure. But specifically, specifically, there were

1097
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: underwear that had a dildo in it that a fan

1098
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: was wearing in the front row, and they threw the

1099
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: remote control up on the stage for us to control it.

1100
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 3: I am glad I wasn't vibrating, Fanny.

1101
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 4: I'm sure we pushed the button a few times.

1102
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 2: And by we mean like, yeah, okay, one of the

1103
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 2: clarify Oh, that was the interest thing I thing I'd

1104
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: ever seen at a show.

1105
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

1106
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: And one of my other favorite things was looking out,

1107
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: because you know, moms will bring their kids, and there

1108
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: was this one mom in her thirties had a ten

1109
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: year old boy, and but you know, he's standing on

1110
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: the chair next to her, and she got so excited

1111
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 1: that she just takes her top off, like she's just

1112
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 1: flashing us. And all I could see was the son

1113
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,280
Speaker 1: looking at his mom being.

1114
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 4: Like mom stop.

1115
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: I think I was at that, but it was just

1116
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: so fun about it.

1117
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, you just scarred your son.

1118
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 5: Like this is from Sparksne wants to know what was

1119
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 5: the hardest choreography for you to learn?

1120
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: Marty Kafka, He was the hardest choreographer. Darren Hanson Wade

1121
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: robs all these amazing choreographers, you know, would it would

1122
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: take me longer to learn it, But you know, after

1123
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: a couple of days, like I got it, Marty stuff

1124
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: was so it didn't look as complicated, but it was complicated.

1125
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: So there were just things that my body couldn't do.

1126
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: So there was some songs that just I could never

1127
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: hit some of those moves, and I've just kind of

1128
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: like fake it. Loved working with him. I thought it

1129
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: was like the coolest things we ever did, but yeah,

1130
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: I was like, like, I can't do some of those moves.

1131
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you had to really kind of fake it

1132
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 4: a lot.

1133
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 3: And then one last question for me.

1134
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 5: You know, we all agreed to allow Darren Henson to

1135
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 5: use some footage from his choreography with the band when

1136
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 5: he put out Darren's Dance Dance Screws. Did you ever

1137
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 5: think it was going to be as big as it were? No?

1138
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, bye bye.

1139
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 1: And I remember him doing it because we were rehearsing

1140
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: for something or maybe just I don't know, we were

1141
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: in choreography, I think here in Los Ange List and

1142
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: I remember saying, oh, I'm doing this, Dan, would you

1143
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: come do like, you know, can I film you?

1144
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 4: Just whatever? And of course I'm I sure.

1145
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: That commercial, oh my gosh played it was like the

1146
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:10,720
Speaker 1: Disney Channel special.

1147
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 3: Just one point five million copies of that.

1148
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 4: Really first year, and we didn't make a sentse.

1149
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,040

1182
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: things we talked about that I've never been able to

1190
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: when you have to go through those stories and tell

1191
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: the truth and let you know things like I didn't

1192
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: think I was telling enough that you know, sometimes you

1193
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: just have to live in your truth and I don't know, it's.

1194
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 4: Just good to get it out. It's cathartic exactly.

1195
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, especially with people that were there.

1196

Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm glad, Like I'm so glad that we're

1197
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: all still in each other's lives because so many of

1198
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: my memories I just I just don't remember anything. So

1199
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: it's so nice to relive these stories and get reminded

1200
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: of some of the best moments of my life.

1201
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1202
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: So, and that's one of the reasons I wanted to

1203
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 1: write the book so I could get everything down so

1204
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: I don't forget it, especially the space thing, because that

1205
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: was such I have such PTSD on that whole situation

1206
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: that I didn't know what I was going to start

1207
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: blocking out of my memory on that. So I just

1208
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: wanted to get it down, and I'm glad I got

1209
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: that that part time.
