    This week Nikki & Brie sit down with two incredible singers who are teaming up for a national tour that you won’t want to miss!

    AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys and Joey Fatone from *NSYNC have an incredible summer tour planned. Nikki & Brie are fans from way back and Brie recalls seeing AJ onstage with BSB as a teenager, a show that AJ’s been itching to recreate.

     

    AJ and Joy talk about life on the road, women they’d like to collaborate with, why their new show is so unpredictable, and the energy they want to bring to the stage. They also talk about the rivalry between BSB and *NSYNC and what people got right about it and where they got it wrong.

     

    The fellas also talk about the state of music videos, being girl dads, and why spoiling their daughters early made it tough to take them to concerts as they’ve gotten older. And the reaction AJ had when he caught one of his daughters listening to *NSYNC!

     

    To close out the episode they share their choices for Inspiration & Affirmation, one based on a tattoo on AJ’s arm and Joey has one that’s not so serious but definitely practical.

    The Garcia Twins also share some insight into their nighttime routine, it seems that Nikki’s is fast and fierce, while Brie’s has been getting longer and longer lately. We also have an update on the Car Seat Incident of 2023 that has now come back to haunt Nikki, while Brie is certain that all that’s needed is a little more effort.
