Rick: Now, last night this man was out there on there stage before Britney,
[[ Jane: Mmhmm]] And I think it's just an accomplishment not to have people say, 'Get off! Get off! Bring Britney on!' [[ laughter ]] You know, and you kinda expect that a little bit, but they didn't do that for you.
Aaron: No, no. They didn't.
Jane: They eat him up.
Aaron: They just wanted to look at something new, just you know
Jane: They wanted to look at you
Aaron: Well, you know, it's kinda cool to see a lot of the opening acts, because, you know, it's just, i don't know, there's a difference between all the music and...
Jane: Well, I was there and it's perfect too, because, you know, Britney has a lot of, as you know, female fans who would love to be just like her... and, so, Aaron is their, kind of their eye-candy before she gets on stage. And they went crazy!!
Rick: What are you. . . are you twelve now?
Aaron: ...I'm almost thirteen...
Jane: ...and already a sex symbol!! My God!
Rick: ...instead of saying 'yes', he says 'I'm almost thirteen' because he wants those girls to throw themselves . . . and the same fate could befall you that has happened to your brother. Your brother, Nick, is on the telephone right now, and I think we should start out... Hey Nick?
Nick: Whazz up?
Rick: Hey, your mom is sitting here... your brother, and he's opening up for Britney Spears. As a Backstreet Boy, you still have to be proud.
Nick: Yeah, he's too young to be a sex symbol though.
Jane: That's what I said...
Nick: Aiight.
Jane: There's no stopping those girls who were screaming last night... I'll tell ya that much.
Rick: Yeah, that's the truth. How could you stop it once it happens? He's sitting here now and he's wearing chaps and a, and a leather vest and he has...
Jane: No shirt!
Rick: ...no shirt, and actually the make-up artist in Hollywood has drawn hair on his chest. I'm just joking.. you know, I think it'd be a great time for a mom to interview her son who is, of course, in Orlando right now, just waking up.
Jane: How ya doin' Nicky?
Nick: Hi Momma.
Jane: Hey...
Rick: Where were you...
Jane: Sorry to get you out of bed, but... you know...
Nick: Actually, I'm in Tampa right now..
Aaron: Nick sleeps for . . . [[ Nick interrupts ]] Nick sleeps for three days...
Jane: He's very proud of the fact that he's from Tampa..
Aaron: Yeah, see a lot of people, a lot of people... we have to make a lot of people understand that all the Backstreet Boys, all the other ones, all the other four besides Nick, are from Orlando. So, when Nick says, like, 'Tampa' or something...they say, "Oh, you live in Orlando." And it's a totally different part of Florida...
Rick: Oh yeah, let me tell you about it. Tampa St. Pete and Clear Water and around in there. Some of the greatest country in the land.
Jane: Nick has to be near the water.
Rick: You love the water...
Nick: Got to be the biggest football team...
Jane: Oh, there you go...
Aaron: Tampa Bay! Yes.
Jane: Buccaneers...
Nick: Bettah watch out..
Jane: Did, did we interrupt your three day sleep? Is that what you're doin'?
Nick: Nahh, actually, I was actually just down in the Keys with my dad.
Rick: Mmhmm. Super! Well, you gotta buy a big boat; you gotta get a boat if you love the water...
Aaron: He's already got a boat. Yeah, he's got a really nice one, too.
Rick: What kind?
Aaron: I, I don't know... what is it Nick?
Nick: Z-Rig...
Rick: A Z-Rig? [[ claps ]] You gotta give it up for Z-Rig! Yeah, they make a mean boat.
Nick: Y'all are crazy...
Rick: No, the Z-Rig is a great boat. And, this thing could go about, probably, about 60mph, won't it?
Aaron: I, I don't know... I know that it will go, like, 12 knots... or something like that.
Nick: We were getting back in there diving; going down in there diving.
Rick: All right!
Aaron: See any sharks?
Nick: No.
Aaron: Aww...
Nick: Not yet.
Aaron: When I was down there, I caught three.
Rick: Three sharks?
Aaron: Yeah.
Jane: How'd you catch them? With what?
Aaron: With a fishing pole; I cut through black to get the sharks and . . .
Rick: Wow...
Jane: Wow...
Nick: And he leaves the fishing pole there, and he comes back and they're on the hook. [[ everyone laughs ]] And it makes me so mad because I try so hard to catch them! He gets so lucky, no pun intended.
Jane: He's so lucky!
Rick: So, when did you last see your mom?
Nick: When did I last see my mom? Ah.. like Les.... about a month ago?
Jane: Yeah, Leslie's birthday was last month, mmhmm.
Rick: What a business! A beating this woman! She's a manager... did she ever manage you, Nick?
Nick: Of course.
Rick: Mmhmm.
Nick: She managed me through, um, let's see... since I was, like, 9. 9 until... 17.
Rick: Oh yeah... I gotcha. Now is the tour still going on? Or is the Backstreet Boys...gonna take a little time off right now, aren't you?
Jane: No, you just got done recording, right Nick?
Nick: No, we're not done yet...
Jane: Oh, well, they just got done doing some things in Sweden... [[ someone interrupts..erm.. right... ]]
Nick: Yeah, we just got back from... yeah, we were in Sweden.
Aaron: I just recently saw him in England because he, uh, he was recording. So, they flew to England to do something with Elton John. And AJ wasn't there and Elton John had to do AJ's part.
Nick: Yeah, you should see Aaron. I've never seen someone talk so much to Elton.... in my whole entire life.
Jane: He's cool, huh?
Nick: Aaron was so open, it was so funny.
Rick: But, you know, Sir Elton John . . . .what a nice guy, though. He knows how much you love music and how much you wanted to connect and...
Jane: Did he give you any good advice, or, what did you guys talk about?
Aaron: I... I don't know. I forget!
Nick: I don't know, but I think. . . I think he would talk about anything.
Rick: Did he take off his hair and let you play with it for a while?
Jane: That was terrible, Rick!
Rick: Hey everbody... Elton, Elton jokes about it himself! For God sakes, get a life all of you! But, hey, Nick I'm sorry we had to wake you up...
Nick: It's okay...
Rick: But we world-debuted your brother's song, and we're getting a lot of calls about it. And, uh, did he learn to have parites like this from his older brother?
Nick: Uhmph.
Jane: Yeah! [[ while laughing ]]
Nick: I'm seriously not allowed to do ...
Aaron: I did... but Nick doesn't, you know, Nick doesn't, like, go into the after- parties. After...he never went.
Rick: He's not an after-party kind of guy?
Nick: That's not true... it all depends.
Jane: Do you like the after-parties Aaron?
Aaron: Uh... it's okay, but, um, I can only get 2 hours of sleep...
Jane: What about last night . . . .
Rick: What advice would you give Aaron, Nick, about hanging out with fans? Sort to speak.
Nick: What would I give him?
Rick: Yeah, cuz you have a lot of experience now.. after-shows, and hanging out with fans. You know, women, especially.
Nick: With fans? Fans are just like anybody else. You know, I think, the more attention that you give them the better they'll be to you . . . um, the less
attention that you give to them, the, the harder you'll fall. And, um, I think that as long as you're respectful to what they've done for you, what they can do for you, you'll always have them.
Rick: I understand. So what he's saying, let me translate that. . . for you,
the listener, use those fans. Make them buy your CDs. . . no no no..
Nick: Wa...wait a minute.
Rick: Nick, you know I'm joking...
Aaron: You totally screwed up what he was saying...
Rick: No, no! Please forgive me.
Jane: Nick will never take your call again, Rick.
Rick: You know that your brother said the exact opposite of what I just said . . . Hey Nick, guy, I hope you have a wonderful day. And thanks for getting up early for us, it's appreciated.
Jane: Bye Nick, love ya.
Aaron: Love ya Nick.
Nick: See ya.
Aaron: See ya...
Rick: That's the Mom, 'course, Jane.
Aaron: I'll catch another shark for ya. [[ teasing Nick ]]
Jane: Oh my goodness!
Rick: Three sharks you caught?
Aaron: Yeah, three! I even caught one bullshark...
Rick: Wow. They'll bite you, you gotta watch out.
Jane: All sharks bite...
Aaron: I'll even save the jaws for you, Nick.
Rick: Oh, good...
Jane: Wow, cool.
Rick: Okay, it's 8: 12. Rick Dee's in the morning... is Madonna gonna call? Or should we just blow her off and have Eddie Murphy on or what are we gonna do? Seriously.
[[ Guy in the backround -- "I think she's coming to visit" ]]
