Speaker 1 (00:04):
This is Frost the Tips with Lance Bass podcast. Let's
get to something really positive though, kids. Did you did
you know that you wanted to have kids? Yeah? I
mean my whole life. I'm an only child, so you know,
being in this being in the group, it was nice
(00:25):
to have brothers. Um or is nice? Not was like, yeah,
they're all they're all dead and gone. Now it's just me.
Oh the world is ending. Um no, you know, it's
been great to have one younger brother, three older brothers. Um.
But yeah, I've always wanted to be a dad like
that to me, always seemed like the greatest job in
(00:47):
the world. Um, well, you have brothers, But you ever
think that you would have only girls? Yeah, that's a blessing,
a curse. That's God smiting me for sure for all
my indiscretions through life. Um a little bit, yeah, you know,
because I know what boys are like, especially boys like me,
you know, back in the day, so right there, Yeah,
(01:10):
boys like me, boys like me just wanted to breathe
their hair. Yeah, but I just know. But I mean,
I you know when when when we had Elliott, Um,
you know, I I was good because again I'm an
only child. She was very independent growing up, she was
(01:32):
you know, she had her friends, but she was very independent,
which is the way I was. And then Rochelle and
I were pretty much at the at the finish line
of saying, Okay, we're good with just one. And then
I got it. I got the baby fever. I was like,
let's do one more. Let's do one more, one more.
Even numbers makes it easier for a lot of things, um,
(01:57):
you know. And then literally I was in a meeting
and Rochelle called me, and she kept calling me. I'm like,
I'm in a meeting. I can't talk right now, just
tell me later. She's like, okay, whatever, it's a girl.
And I screamed bloody murder in a room full of
all these Japanese men in business suits when I was
first starting my nail polished line looking for investors and
(02:20):
these guys and whatnot. And these guys were like, what
is happening right now? Why are why is this man
screaming in our office? Um? And that's when we found
out we're gonna have lyrics. And those two are my everything.
They are two peas in a pod. The pandemic. Really,
they were kind of forced to have to be in
each other's skin seven for two years and they are
(02:43):
just the best of friends. Man, it's the best. Have
you have you done artwork of yours yet? No? Yeah,
because a little bit they looked like Yeah, but the
two of me seeing pieces you did for for us.
They're both not even a year old, you know that,
(03:05):
I know. And then and those were really cute. He
does it for others and not me. Well you never asked, Lance. Well,
you're not supposed to ask. You're just supposed to know.
That's what a husband does. And that's a fun car
right later, isn't it. I'm sorry, my bad, good good job.
I got a touch on Elliott because you know, a
lot of people are confused why she would change her name,
(03:26):
and you have been a very vocal ally for the
LGBTQ community. Um and and and we got to talk
about RuPaul. We have so much to talk about. Oh
my god, So explain to everyone why she wanted to
change her name. Yeah. So Ava is her birth name,
Eva James Mini a j um she So she's been
(03:50):
in professional dance now, for gosh, since she was about Yeah,
she's like a competitor, she's in both my girls are
in straight competitive dance now, Like, it's the most gruing
schedule I've ever seen for pre pubescent kids. It's nuts.
It's like, what the hell, man, I thought my schedule
was crazy, but dude, no, um. But so there was
(04:11):
I think there was two Avas at school and like
three Ava's at dance, and she just felt like she
wanted to be more of an individual, and she felt
like it's too common of a name, even though in
my opinion it's not. But whatever she wants to do,
I'm going to support both my girls, doesn't matter what
what comes out of their mouth. So she got it
(04:33):
from Uh, Pete Dragon Elliott. That's where the name came from. Uh,
and then she made it up. She always makes it
a point to say it's Elliott with two teas because
there is one t and there's two teas. There is
another Elliott at her school with one t um. It
has been a little conflicting with like doctors, because you
(04:56):
know all of her doctors on file it's Ava, so
I'll show up to a doctor's appointment with her, or
like I just took it to the dentist last week
and they couldn't find her in the system. And I'm
like we have an appointment, and is it Ava? Like, yeah,
it's Ava, but it's it's Elliott. She wants to be
called Elliott. So they're like, okay, well do you want
us to switch it. I'm like, if you want to,
it's fine. So yeah, so now we're starting to like
(05:18):
her teachers know to call her Elliott. Um. Yeah, it's
it almost had a uh domino effect. Then Lyric wanted
to change her name and I'm like no, no, no no, no,
no, no no, no no. I it took me like three months,
four months to actually consistently call Eva Elliott. And Lyric
wanted to change hers to uh to Eva at first,
(05:41):
and I'm like no, no, no. Then she wanted to
go to Um. I think August was another name that
she wanted, and I'm like, your Lyric Elliott, let her,
let your sister have her thing. So now it's Elliott
and leally Lee leaves her new nickname. Now, so now
did you think, okay, are we going to have a
(06:01):
trans conversation right now with my very young daughter and
how does that even go down? Well when my so,
my wife's the one that told me about it, um
and I was in the studio and my wife called
me on the way home and she told me, hey,
just so you know x y Z And I was
like no, wait, wait, no what I This wasn't a discussion.
(06:21):
And at first I was kind of a dick about it,
like I was like, why no, I'm not gonna she's eva.
And then when I sat down with Elliott and she
told me my heart broke and I was like, yeah, okay,
I get it, this is what you want. I totally supported.
But again, you know, when Rochelle first said it to me,
(06:42):
I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if
this was going to be a transgender conversation or if
this was just a simple name change. I tried to
change my name in high school to Blake because I
hated the name Alex and I got deep do do
because of it. Uh. I still think Blake's a cool name,
gives a good name, or like Blaze Blaze if I
(07:04):
was a male stripper, please, um I do Uh. The
Christmas album is very great, by the way. I love it,
a very backstreet Christmas. Um. Now we're gonna take a
little break. When we come back, we're gonna have a
little fun because what we like to do with our
iconic boy band members is go back in time to
a Nice Bop magazine questionnaire and see if your answers
(07:28):
still match today from teenage aj Hey J McClean with
us of course, Turkey Turch and high Turkey. That's right.
(07:52):
So we're gonna get to some fan questions. And by
the way, if you want to ask any questions out
there um or ask for some advice some tips, you
can always follow us at Frost and Tips with Lance
and d MS. We talked to you the ladies here
at My Heart do a wonderful job. So comes come come,
you know, play with us. Alright, fan questions, here we go.
(08:13):
Least favorite song to perform live quit playing games? Really
was that because it was our first single. It's like
the you know, it's just the one that it's it's
the song that goes nowhere. It's just very linear, and
I'm just like, and we've we've tried to do like
remixes on like the production and for like the live show,
(08:33):
just for us to jazz it up a bit, but
it's still just like and it was the first song
I ever heard of you guys in the first video
I saw. I'm like, oh my gosh, what if we
get in the rain? My first was everybody that I saw.
I was in England at the time. We were what
song was your least favorite to perform? To perform? I mean,
(08:54):
here we go, but we didn't perform much because here
we go. Yes, what's kind of so I'm not I'm
not into name checking myself. Just be happy that you
didn't have a if you wanted to be good girl,
bad dumbest song ever. You know, when we went to Germany,
we tested a little techno. You know, um it did
(09:17):
not work for us. Fans still want us to do
that song live and we're like, it's never gonna happen.
That's never gonna happen. Well that's what We were just
in Miami for New Year's Eve and we went to
the Miley Dolly parton you know concert, and I remember
my friend was saying, oh, because I wanted to hear
Wrecking Ball, which is freaking love, and he was like,
she never will perform that again. She said how much
she she will never do it because it's some weird
(09:38):
I don't know what happened, but she just never want
to report perform that song again. And lo and behold
she sing it right before that. I so, I just
went and saw an amazing I Heart show and Jack
White performed solo. So but and I do know his
stuff with the racking tours, and I know you know
some of his solo stuff. But I sitting there like
(10:00):
a true fan waiting for seven Nation Army, like that's
the song that we all know, and he's almost at
the end of his set and he hasn't done it.
I'm like, crap. And then I hear dude, dude do oh,
thank God, like I made the whole night. It was
worth waiting to give him what they want. And that's
what I learned about Miley. She was singing her original
(10:21):
like Hannah Montana party in the USA, and I was
song and the crowd went because the SNL cast was
there and they went nuts over that. And then bringing
out Paris Hilton with her stars because Andy was thinking
stars like I wish I could have been at the
(10:43):
Taylor concert when she brought out Lisa Coodrow and and
Lisa did smell a cat like I'm the biggest Friends fan.
Anyone knows that I wish I could have been a
flat on the wall. You got to give the fans
what they wanted. Give him what you want to. But
you know, I don't like when artist like I'll never
did have it again, because it's like, don't know. I mean, yes,
it's always going to put our hits in the show,
and we know that even if we're tired of it,
(11:05):
it doesn't because here's the thing you're getting. We have
four generations of fans in our shows now. So even
though the fans that are like our age, they've heard
it as much as we have, their kids or their
grandkids haven't. So it's a new song to them. So
you gotta you gotta roll with the punches. What was
your first tattoo? First tattoo is now covered up. It
(11:26):
was my name in tribal It was the dumbest ship
in the world. Got it done by a guy named
Skeletor with no teeth in a hotel room in Berlin, Germany.
I was nineteen years old, and uh, and then it's
now since been covered up, uh by a half naked
girl and the then the devil. So yeah, what was
(11:47):
it like? I mean, because you were in Berlin when
it was just being rebuilt. Basically, yeah, I mean we
literally got there. I mean not long after, two years
after the after the wall came down. I mean, I
actually have a piece of the wall at my house. Um,
you know it's It was interesting, but yeah, it was
a little dodgy because I talked to our tour manager
(12:10):
at the time. I forgot who it was, and I'm like,
I really want to get a tattoo. I've always wanted
to get a tattoo. And they set us up with
this guy who literally he had teeth, but he pulled
him out to do the tattoo. It was the weirdest situation.
And he came with this little thing and looked like halls,
but it was white sugar pills. Um. Your blood sugar
drops when you get a tattoo. Um. And this is
(12:32):
all of our first mind. Brian and his brother Harold,
we all three got tattoos at the same time, and
my blood sugar was fine. Brian and Harold they looked
like they just saw ghosts, so they were popping them
sugar pills to try to even themselves out. But but yeah,
I've said it's covered it up now. Yeah, our first tattoo,
we all uh wanted to get the flame from our
(12:53):
first album because we went gold some even it's Australia
Canada where we had like our first gold album, um
and at all that might be the only time we went.
Goals were like, we gotta, you know, we gotta get
a tattooed to remember this. So we all got the flame,
except JC, because he hates needles. He'll never get a tattoo.
But I remember Justin and I had to call our
moms to get permission. Nice. I hate needles too, though,
I honestly I don't like it's it's it's kind of
(13:17):
an oxymoron, but I don't like needles because those go
in in this is just the top of your skin scrapes.
But I will say this, and I'm going to go
on record saying this. On April twentie of this year,
which is our thirtieth anniversary, I will be getting a
Backstreet Boy tattoo. What are you gonna get? I'm gonna
get the group name, and I'm getting all the boys
(13:37):
to autograph and sign them, getting all of our yeah
uh that I don't know yet. I don't know where
left it, but I'm gonna put established in ninety three
and then dash Infinity because who knows when and if
we'll ever stop. You used to get nice portraits of
everyone's face. Yeah, yeah, I thought about that. But vertite. Yeah.
(13:59):
We we love the show Inked and uh it Master
because I did Inked Master. We love during COVID. We
watched every single episode. We binged the whole thing. Um,
And so there's so many artists that we want to
connect with. But I'm sure the waiting list is two years.
I mean, the girl that one the show I did,
(14:22):
she did my tattoo right here, which is of Elliott
when she was about four months old and holding my finger,
and then it's a locket. It's like, so she has
my heart. Now, I gotta figure out what I'm gonna
do for lyric on this side, something with music. I
just don't know what yet. And I'm also putting it
off because it hurts, like, oh yeah, it ain't fun. Um,
(14:42):
what's your biggest fashion regret from all your years with
the band? I have quite a view. Um, I think
probably my biggest fashion regret would be, I mean, the
baggy thing is still it's still kind of here a
little bit it, but like I went excessive with the bagginess,
(15:03):
like it was obscene, Like I'm a I'm a size
twenty nine waste right now, but I went to like
size thirty eight just because the belt I had to
make the extra poles um. And then I went through
this really bad hair phase. I used to dye my
hair a lot before it all fell out. Um, and
(15:23):
I did this like flock of seagulls. Look that was
just not okay. I did it as promotion for the
Black and Blue tour um and literally they attached to
hairpiece to my hair and I had like this literally
literally flock of seagulls. It's it's bad. Well that and
then the white, the white magician outfit that I wore
(15:44):
we did the MTV Awards in Europe that all four
guys had on like multi colored matching suits and I
was in all white with a top hat. I look
like a magician. That was the weirdest, Like why but
I was always trying to be different anyways, but that
was like stick out like a sore thumb different. Well,
you were labeled as the bad boy. You know, every
group has to have the quote unquote bad boy. Do
(16:07):
absolutely not like I'm not sitting fired hotel rooms and
like no, I because I had tattoos and I colored
my hair maybe, but I'm the biggest teddy bear, like
I'm really like, I'm kind of a puss, honest to god,
you know, don't tell people that you've got an image
(16:28):
now and I'm a pirate apparently, what the hell? Alright,
the fans would like a frost. The tip from you
about tips to stay motivated in the gym now that
you're a gym rat. Chips to stay motivated in the gym? Um?
You know, Uh, writing is something really good? Right down
your progress, um and write down the date, and write
(16:49):
down something right down a daily affirmation. When you get
up in the morning, you brush your teeth, you look
at yourself either pre shower post shower. This is something
I'm gonna challenge everybody out there to even try. And
it's a lot harder than you think it is. Every day,
say three nice things about yourself in the mirror. It's
(17:13):
so much easier to talk smack about yourself than it
is to actually and you can't repeat the same thing twice.
So every day, three new things you like about yourself
that will help motivate you to want to continue on
that path of health, fitness and self discussion. I've learned.
Also something that just brings in motivation and you feel
(17:34):
like just an accomplishment right off the bat. Wake up.
Make your bed as simple as that. Make your bed.
Make your bed. That's a huge one. Make your bed.
It is. I never thought it would actually matter, but
I'm I'm obsessed with it. Like I do it non like, NonStop.
I'll even do it in hotel rooms like there. You
(17:55):
don't really have to, but I do because it's part
of my morning like routique, get a win, accomplished something
you're like. And then I go down, I have my coffee,
and then I feel like I've already been productive and
I haven't even started my day yet. You know, um, okay,
I need some tips on nail polished because you have
a what's the name of your nail polished Avid dean Um,
(18:20):
which is great because of you, you have actually inspired
Turkey and I to now get We get pedicures and
we get our nails painted. It's kind of like our
monthly thing. That's just kind of like a treat ourself situation.
But I know we didn't do it more frequently. We
look down on our toes and we're like, we basically
just have like a Frenchman cure at that because you can,
(18:41):
you can tree, but it is nice. I love like
taking care of my nails now and it's really hot
pink toes right now. You can't see it, but I
have hot pink toes that I always do for my girls.
How can everyone find avadan You go to avadean beauty
dot com. We now have about twenty three shades and
(19:01):
we are about to launch our next level, which is
going to be lipsticks and lip liners, uh, lip gloss,
body scrub, hand wash, and the goal is to move
into a full beauty line. Um, so you're gonna be
the next Rihanna. I'm I'm I'm gonna look, that's the
that's the goal. I mean, obviously, ladies, I know out there,
(19:21):
you guys, and I'm guilty of it myself. Bio gel
is like the in thing because it lasts longer. But
all of our stuff is organic. It's all natural, animal
cruelty free, so we're not going to get to the
bio gel. Sorry, but but it's important. Surprisingly, our stuff
lasts for like three weeks, it really does, and it
won't chip. So you don't need bio jel. You just
(19:43):
need and it's important these days to you know, support
a company that thinks about that kind of stuff we do.
And we've also partnered up with a lot of amazing charities. Uh.
The most recent one we did was the John Ridder Foundation.
We did a very exclusive color for them, um for
the Pink You Promise Coalition, which was phenomenal. Um. I
(20:05):
know we've talked about doing colors together. I know we
are boys thirtieth anniversary this year. What do you guys
have planned? Not a damn thing. We we we actually
we just talked about this on the last leg um
in Europe. We started a conversation in Europe back in November,
(20:25):
and then we did a bunch of Christmas radio shows
this past December. Um. So I got so Nick's a
big golfer. Now how he's into golf now, Brian, I
have been playing golf for eons. Um. Uh, I've kind
of partnered with a company called p X g UM.
They've been phenomenal with me, and I've got all my
boys hooked up with PHG Clubs. H The owner of
(20:48):
p HG, Bob Parsons, is a veteran and he has
a lot of stuff with veterans. So we're trying to
finally put together a charity golf tournament that morning or
afternoon and then that evening party it up in Vegas. UM.
I'll be sitting back watching everyone party it up, but
I am still have a good time. We just want
(21:08):
to like not have to do anything that day and
just celebrate together. UM. But we look at this is
our thirtieth year, so we're definitely got some things up
our sleeve that we're talking about. UM. We definitely want
to do some kind of a performance something. UM. I
know we're supposed to be ending the tour up May
June in what we call the exotics, so like Dubai,
(21:30):
Saudi Arabia, UM, hopefully Egypt for the first time, maybe
do something in front of the Pyramids. UM. We've we've
never gotten the offer. UM, we talked about it. There's
a new festival also that's supposed to be starting at
some point this year. I don't know what it is.
There's so many festivals. UM. We've been talking about putting
(21:51):
together our own festival for the longest time. UM and
getting uh, getting a lot of acts together and trying
to do something not only in the US, but oversee
as well. Because if there's a lot of groups that
you know, I'm sure if I'm back in the day,
remember bloom Shin and all these different Mr President Mr Exactly,
So all these acts from all over the globe doing
something like that could be kind of fun. We love Renee.
(22:14):
We just we just had dinner at his house. Oh
my gosh. He is phenomenal. That man never stops. I mean,
it's what started at all, really, honestly, that's how we started.
We opened up for him. There's something I want to
know about. Okay, Turkey, Well this is very important. We're
discussing earlier and you forgot, but you competed and did
(22:44):
very well on RuPaul Celebrity talk about Cety didn't discuss
and I'm like the first celebrity RuPaul dreg Race winner. Yeah.
And so I have my crown inceptor at my house. Finally,
I didn't know they were going to send to me.
And it's like my daughter has kept asking about it,
and I'm like, I don't know if they're gonna send it.
(23:05):
And then sure enough, I come back off the road
and it's sitting in my office, this beautiful crown in
the scepter which they were there heavy as crap, and
I told my girls, I'm like, this is not a
toy this So how hard was that? I mean, this
is the show I think you would love. I would
(23:27):
do it again in a heartbeat. Um, if you were
to compare that to dancing, dancing was way more stress,
way more stress. This. You know, it wasn't my first
time in heels. Let's just say that I wore heels
at my wedding, so it's not like I'm not but
this was my first time performing in heels. Dancing in
(23:47):
heels as a whole other ballgame. Um, did you feel
like a different person when you were made up? I
felt like myself, Like I felt just at home. I
felt comfortable. Um. You know something that I that that
not a lot of people know. Um that the show
kind of inspired. You know, everyone knows I've had facial
(24:08):
hair like my whole career. I and I used to
have a massive beard. Um. The reason behind that was
genetically in my family, we have like this extra layer
of skin on our neck, and like it always made
me insecure. I hated my profile. I hate all of it.
So my daughters then started calling it my droopy, which
(24:29):
really got in my really hard. So when I was
doing RuPaul uh, I want to say Raven is his
name is that us may make a partist. He sat
me down and he's like, listen, I want you to
win this. I just want to give you some pointers.
Take it or leave it. He goes, have you ever
(24:49):
thought about taping? And I'm like, is that like tucking?
He's like, no, no, No, Taping is when we tape
your eyebrows up under your wig and we pull your
neck back so you have a really prominent jawline. I
was like, whatever I gotta do to win, I'm in.
So the week that I was Dolly was the first
time I did the taping and I got to see
what I looked like with a jawline, and I like
(25:11):
got really emotional, Like I was like, holy crap, this
is this is cool. So literally before the show was
over being taped, I made it. I booked an appointment
at an amazing plastic surgeon in my area and he
did LiPo and face tight and I am over the
moon about it. I feel like I'm twenty years younger.
(25:31):
It gave me this confidence. Now I'm like super trimmed down. Like, look,
I've never been a big big fan of cause like
of like kind of weird stuff. But I get it.
If it makes you feel good, there's nothing wrong with that. Um.
But I mean, look, you know, will I ever get
(25:51):
abbin plants? No, I'm gonna do that on my own.
You know, I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind some caffine
plants though, because my god, man, oh my god, I
can't get happen. It's a trap, dude. It's never gonna happen.
It's not gonna Happen's not gonna happen. I have no
But that's just like literally like match stick like parts.
I've been wearing more shorts, but it's it's literally it's
like where where are they? They're not even there. It's
(26:13):
just I'm the same way. It's weird. My left one
won't grow an inch, but the right one will. This
is very strange. So you're just always just know, I'm
always in where the leansing going on? No, I hate
it because I have the littlest calfs ever. I used
I used to have great legs right there. That's basically
what I'm working with right now. Yeah, I used to
have great legs. Like you know, my eyes are great,
(26:35):
just because of dancing. But then once I stopped and sync,
I'm like, oh I'm not those are just gone. No,
all right, let's get to your team magazine questions. First off,
look at this. It's in your hand right, Oh god,
look at that show to you guys, that's my amazing handwriting.
Um Jesus, this probably looks what what date is this?
Like nin that's like nineties seven seven that all of
(27:00):
us went through the Caesar haircutter on there like at
the same time because the friends Ross. Yeah, that was
the big thing. All right, let's see if your answers matching.

He was after topanga O favorite school subjects? I love
(28:03):
history in English? Um, biggest, dislike biggest, dislike biggest. I
don't know if I didn't think I disliked anything. The
correct answer is two faced people. Well, yeah, I definitely
don't like Biggest is entertaining, Yes, yes it is one
(28:30):
more over the okay, Um, what hide are you? Says
it right here? We had to discuss. We were just
talking about this. Okay, so they're probably says five nine.
But my daughters have My youngest especially has got this
weird obsession with the tape measure now, so they both
want to like be taller, and they're both really really
(28:52):
tall for their age already. My youngest or sorry, my oldest,
Elliott's four nine and she's ten, so she's already hall
and Lyric is not far behind. If I actually relaxed
my shoulders and I stand up straight, I'm close to
five ten. Like I'm right there. I think I'm five
(29:12):
nine now. I used to be five eleven in high school.
And now do you have an extra four inches of
hair on me? Yeah? I got the hair is very
not great right now, Um, all right, my last one here,
what was your most prized possession, most prized my my,
my blankie, my bankie. You had a blanket, Yeah, well
(29:35):
that's not what you put. It was your class ring. Actually,
you know what's funny, I did uh room service throughout
my blanket. It was like the worst thing in the
world for me, Like I was jut stricken. Um, but
it had so many holes in it. I was wrapped
in it as a baby, and I to this day,
(29:55):
I only buy shirts that I can twirl. That's what
I call it, because I picked my fingers as like
a nervous tick, which is sometimes very painful. But if
I find shirts, they have to have a certain feeling
that I can twirl. And I got that from having
my me and my bankies. What I called it, I
would do at the edge of my blanket, and every
night I would steal napkins from like hotels because it's
(30:19):
the best texture. Sorry, all the hotels I've stolen from.
One more questions, because I really like the answer you put.
It's really mysterious. God, people would be surprised to know
that I listened to NYA. Oh so do I? Oh
(30:40):

had all the in your stuff on it? And I
don't know if they would always play that song and
then I love that some of those Well that's not
what you're answering. Okay, well what it was? Meet me

(34:21):
you next time,
This is Frost the Tips with Lance Bass podcast. Let's
get to something really positive though, kids. Did you did
you know that you wanted to have kids? Yeah? I
mean my whole life. I'm an only child, so you know,
being in this being in the group, it was nice
(00:25):
to have brothers. Um or is nice? Not was like, yeah,
they're all they're all dead and gone. Now it's just me.
Oh the world is ending. Um no, you know, it's
been great to have one younger brother, three older brothers. Um.
But yeah, I've always wanted to be a dad like
that to me, always seemed like the greatest job in
(00:47):
the world. Um, well, you have brothers, But you ever
think that you would have only girls? Yeah, that's a blessing,
a curse. That's God smiting me for sure for all
my indiscretions through life. Um a little bit, yeah, you know,
because I know what boys are like, especially boys like me,
you know, back in the day, so right there, Yeah,
(01:10):
boys like me, boys like me just wanted to breathe
their hair. Yeah, but I just know. But I mean,
I you know when when when we had Elliott, Um,
you know, I I was good because again I'm an
only child. She was very independent growing up, she was
(01:32):
you know, she had her friends, but she was very independent,
which is the way I was. And then Rochelle and
I were pretty much at the at the finish line
of saying, Okay, we're good with just one. And then
I got it. I got the baby fever. I was like,
let's do one more. Let's do one more, one more.
Even numbers makes it easier for a lot of things, um,
(01:57):
you know. And then literally I was in a meeting
and Rochelle called me, and she kept calling me. I'm like,
I'm in a meeting. I can't talk right now, just
tell me later. She's like, okay, whatever, it's a girl.
And I screamed bloody murder in a room full of
all these Japanese men in business suits when I was
first starting my nail polished line looking for investors and
(02:20):
these guys and whatnot. And these guys were like, what
is happening right now? Why are why is this man
screaming in our office? Um? And that's when we found
out we're gonna have lyrics. And those two are my everything.
They are two peas in a pod. The pandemic. Really,
they were kind of forced to have to be in
each other's skin seven for two years and they are
(02:43):
just the best of friends. Man, it's the best. Have
you have you done artwork of yours yet? No? Yeah,
because a little bit they looked like Yeah, but the
two of me seeing pieces you did for for us.
They're both not even a year old, you know that,
(03:05):
I know. And then and those were really cute. He
does it for others and not me. Well you never asked, Lance. Well,
you're not supposed to ask. You're just supposed to know.
That's what a husband does. And that's a fun car
right later, isn't it. I'm sorry, my bad, good good job.
I got a touch on Elliott because you know, a
lot of people are confused why she would change her name,
(03:26):
and you have been a very vocal ally for the
LGBTQ community. Um and and and we got to talk
about RuPaul. We have so much to talk about. Oh
my god, So explain to everyone why she wanted to
change her name. Yeah. So Ava is her birth name,
Eva James Mini a j um she So she's been
(03:50):
in professional dance now, for gosh, since she was about Yeah,
she's like a competitor, she's in both my girls are
in straight competitive dance now, Like, it's the most gruing
schedule I've ever seen for pre pubescent kids. It's nuts.
It's like, what the hell, man, I thought my schedule
was crazy, but dude, no, um. But so there was
(04:11):
I think there was two Avas at school and like
three Ava's at dance, and she just felt like she
wanted to be more of an individual, and she felt
like it's too common of a name, even though in
my opinion it's not. But whatever she wants to do,
I'm going to support both my girls, doesn't matter what
what comes out of their mouth. So she got it
(04:33):
from Uh, Pete Dragon Elliott. That's where the name came from. Uh,
and then she made it up. She always makes it
a point to say it's Elliott with two teas because
there is one t and there's two teas. There is
another Elliott at her school with one t um. It
has been a little conflicting with like doctors, because you
(04:56):
know all of her doctors on file it's Ava, so
I'll show up to a doctor's appointment with her, or
like I just took it to the dentist last week
and they couldn't find her in the system. And I'm
like we have an appointment, and is it Ava? Like, yeah,
it's Ava, but it's it's Elliott. She wants to be
called Elliott. So they're like, okay, well do you want
us to switch it. I'm like, if you want to,
it's fine. So yeah, so now we're starting to like
(05:18):
her teachers know to call her Elliott. Um. Yeah, it's
it almost had a uh domino effect. Then Lyric wanted
to change her name and I'm like no, no, no no, no,
no, no no, no no. I it took me like three months,
four months to actually consistently call Eva Elliott. And Lyric
wanted to change hers to uh to Eva at first,
(05:41):
and I'm like no, no, no. Then she wanted to
go to Um. I think August was another name that
she wanted, and I'm like, your Lyric Elliott, let her,
let your sister have her thing. So now it's Elliott
and leally Lee leaves her new nickname. Now, so now
did you think, okay, are we going to have a
(06:01):
trans conversation right now with my very young daughter and
how does that even go down? Well when my so,
my wife's the one that told me about it, um
and I was in the studio and my wife called
me on the way home and she told me, hey,
just so you know x y Z And I was
like no, wait, wait, no what I This wasn't a discussion.
(06:21):
And at first I was kind of a dick about it,
like I was like, why no, I'm not gonna she's eva.
And then when I sat down with Elliott and she
told me my heart broke and I was like, yeah, okay,
I get it, this is what you want. I totally supported.
But again, you know, when Rochelle first said it to me,
(06:42):
I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if
this was going to be a transgender conversation or if
this was just a simple name change. I tried to
change my name in high school to Blake because I
hated the name Alex and I got deep do do
because of it. Uh. I still think Blake's a cool name,
gives a good name, or like Blaze Blaze if I
(07:04):
was a male stripper, please, um I do Uh. The
Christmas album is very great, by the way. I love it,
a very backstreet Christmas. Um. Now we're gonna take a
little break. When we come back, we're gonna have a
little fun because what we like to do with our
iconic boy band members is go back in time to
a Nice Bop magazine questionnaire and see if your answers
(07:28):
still match today from teenage aj Hey J McClean with
us of course, Turkey Turch and high Turkey. That's right.
(07:52):
So we're gonna get to some fan questions. And by
the way, if you want to ask any questions out
there um or ask for some advice some tips, you
can always follow us at Frost and Tips with Lance
and d MS. We talked to you the ladies here
at My Heart do a wonderful job. So comes come come,
you know, play with us. Alright, fan questions, here we go.
(08:13):
Least favorite song to perform live quit playing games? Really
was that because it was our first single. It's like
the you know, it's just the one that it's it's
the song that goes nowhere. It's just very linear, and
I'm just like, and we've we've tried to do like
remixes on like the production and for like the live show,
(08:33):
just for us to jazz it up a bit, but
it's still just like and it was the first song
I ever heard of you guys in the first video
I saw. I'm like, oh my gosh, what if we
get in the rain? My first was everybody that I saw.
I was in England at the time. We were what
song was your least favorite to perform? To perform? I mean,
(08:54):
here we go, but we didn't perform much because here
we go. Yes, what's kind of so I'm not I'm
not into name checking myself. Just be happy that you
didn't have a if you wanted to be good girl,
bad dumbest song ever. You know, when we went to Germany,
we tested a little techno. You know, um it did
(09:17):
not work for us. Fans still want us to do
that song live and we're like, it's never gonna happen.
That's never gonna happen. Well that's what We were just
in Miami for New Year's Eve and we went to
the Miley Dolly parton you know concert, and I remember
my friend was saying, oh, because I wanted to hear
Wrecking Ball, which is freaking love, and he was like,
she never will perform that again. She said how much
she she will never do it because it's some weird
(09:38):
I don't know what happened, but she just never want
to report perform that song again. And lo and behold
she sing it right before that. I so, I just
went and saw an amazing I Heart show and Jack
White performed solo. So but and I do know his
stuff with the racking tours, and I know you know
some of his solo stuff. But I sitting there like
(10:00):
a true fan waiting for seven Nation Army, like that's
the song that we all know, and he's almost at
the end of his set and he hasn't done it.
I'm like, crap. And then I hear dude, dude do oh,
thank God, like I made the whole night. It was
worth waiting to give him what they want. And that's
what I learned about Miley. She was singing her original
(10:21):
like Hannah Montana party in the USA, and I was
song and the crowd went because the SNL cast was
there and they went nuts over that. And then bringing
out Paris Hilton with her stars because Andy was thinking
stars like I wish I could have been at the
(10:43):
Taylor concert when she brought out Lisa Coodrow and and
Lisa did smell a cat like I'm the biggest Friends fan.
Anyone knows that I wish I could have been a
flat on the wall. You got to give the fans
what they wanted. Give him what you want to. But
you know, I don't like when artist like I'll never
did have it again, because it's like, don't know. I mean, yes,
it's always going to put our hits in the show,
and we know that even if we're tired of it,
(11:05):
it doesn't because here's the thing you're getting. We have
four generations of fans in our shows now. So even
though the fans that are like our age, they've heard
it as much as we have, their kids or their
grandkids haven't. So it's a new song to them. So
you gotta you gotta roll with the punches. What was
your first tattoo? First tattoo is now covered up. It
(11:26):
was my name in tribal It was the dumbest ship
in the world. Got it done by a guy named
Skeletor with no teeth in a hotel room in Berlin, Germany.
I was nineteen years old, and uh, and then it's
now since been covered up, uh by a half naked
girl and the then the devil. So yeah, what was
(11:47):
it like? I mean, because you were in Berlin when
it was just being rebuilt. Basically, yeah, I mean we
literally got there. I mean not long after, two years
after the after the wall came down. I mean, I
actually have a piece of the wall at my house. Um,
you know it's It was interesting, but yeah, it was
a little dodgy because I talked to our tour manager
(12:10):
at the time. I forgot who it was, and I'm like,
I really want to get a tattoo. I've always wanted
to get a tattoo. And they set us up with
this guy who literally he had teeth, but he pulled
him out to do the tattoo. It was the weirdest situation.
And he came with this little thing and looked like halls,
but it was white sugar pills. Um. Your blood sugar
drops when you get a tattoo. Um. And this is
(12:32):
all of our first mind. Brian and his brother Harold,
we all three got tattoos at the same time, and
my blood sugar was fine. Brian and Harold they looked
like they just saw ghosts, so they were popping them
sugar pills to try to even themselves out. But but yeah,
I've said it's covered it up now. Yeah, our first tattoo,
we all uh wanted to get the flame from our
(12:53):
first album because we went gold some even it's Australia
Canada where we had like our first gold album, um
and at all that might be the only time we went.
Goals were like, we gotta, you know, we gotta get
a tattooed to remember this. So we all got the flame,
except JC, because he hates needles. He'll never get a tattoo.
But I remember Justin and I had to call our
moms to get permission. Nice. I hate needles too, though,
I honestly I don't like it's it's it's kind of
(13:17):
an oxymoron, but I don't like needles because those go
in in this is just the top of your skin scrapes.
But I will say this, and I'm going to go
on record saying this. On April twentie of this year,
which is our thirtieth anniversary, I will be getting a
Backstreet Boy tattoo. What are you gonna get? I'm gonna
get the group name, and I'm getting all the boys
(13:37):
to autograph and sign them, getting all of our yeah
uh that I don't know yet. I don't know where
left it, but I'm gonna put established in ninety three
and then dash Infinity because who knows when and if
we'll ever stop. You used to get nice portraits of
everyone's face. Yeah, yeah, I thought about that. But vertite. Yeah.
(13:59):
We we love the show Inked and uh it Master
because I did Inked Master. We love during COVID. We
watched every single episode. We binged the whole thing. Um,
And so there's so many artists that we want to
connect with. But I'm sure the waiting list is two years.
I mean, the girl that one the show I did,
(14:22):
she did my tattoo right here, which is of Elliott
when she was about four months old and holding my finger,
and then it's a locket. It's like, so she has
my heart. Now, I gotta figure out what I'm gonna
do for lyric on this side, something with music. I
just don't know what yet. And I'm also putting it
off because it hurts, like, oh yeah, it ain't fun. Um,
(14:42):
what's your biggest fashion regret from all your years with
the band? I have quite a view. Um, I think
probably my biggest fashion regret would be, I mean, the
baggy thing is still it's still kind of here a
little bit it, but like I went excessive with the bagginess,
(15:03):
like it was obscene, Like I'm a I'm a size
twenty nine waste right now, but I went to like
size thirty eight just because the belt I had to
make the extra poles um. And then I went through
this really bad hair phase. I used to dye my
hair a lot before it all fell out. Um, and
(15:23):
I did this like flock of seagulls. Look that was
just not okay. I did it as promotion for the
Black and Blue tour um and literally they attached to
hairpiece to my hair and I had like this literally
literally flock of seagulls. It's it's bad. Well that and
then the white, the white magician outfit that I wore
(15:44):
we did the MTV Awards in Europe that all four
guys had on like multi colored matching suits and I
was in all white with a top hat. I look
like a magician. That was the weirdest, Like why but
I was always trying to be different anyways, but that
was like stick out like a sore thumb different. Well,
you were labeled as the bad boy. You know, every
group has to have the quote unquote bad boy. Do
(16:07):
absolutely not like I'm not sitting fired hotel rooms and
like no, I because I had tattoos and I colored
my hair maybe, but I'm the biggest teddy bear, like
I'm really like, I'm kind of a puss, honest to god,
you know, don't tell people that you've got an image
(16:28):
now and I'm a pirate apparently, what the hell? Alright,
the fans would like a frost. The tip from you
about tips to stay motivated in the gym now that
you're a gym rat. Chips to stay motivated in the gym? Um?
You know, Uh, writing is something really good? Right down
your progress, um and write down the date, and write
(16:49):
down something right down a daily affirmation. When you get
up in the morning, you brush your teeth, you look
at yourself either pre shower post shower. This is something
I'm gonna challenge everybody out there to even try. And
it's a lot harder than you think it is. Every day,
say three nice things about yourself in the mirror. It's
(17:13):
so much easier to talk smack about yourself than it
is to actually and you can't repeat the same thing twice.
So every day, three new things you like about yourself
that will help motivate you to want to continue on
that path of health, fitness and self discussion. I've learned.
Also something that just brings in motivation and you feel
(17:34):
like just an accomplishment right off the bat. Wake up.
Make your bed as simple as that. Make your bed.
Make your bed. That's a huge one. Make your bed.
It is. I never thought it would actually matter, but
I'm I'm obsessed with it. Like I do it non like, NonStop.
I'll even do it in hotel rooms like there. You
(17:55):
don't really have to, but I do because it's part
of my morning like routique, get a win, accomplished something
you're like. And then I go down, I have my coffee,
and then I feel like I've already been productive and
I haven't even started my day yet. You know, um, okay,
I need some tips on nail polished because you have
a what's the name of your nail polished Avid dean Um,
(18:20):
which is great because of you, you have actually inspired
Turkey and I to now get We get pedicures and
we get our nails painted. It's kind of like our
monthly thing. That's just kind of like a treat ourself situation.
But I know we didn't do it more frequently. We
look down on our toes and we're like, we basically
just have like a Frenchman cure at that because you can,
(18:41):
you can tree, but it is nice. I love like
taking care of my nails now and it's really hot
pink toes right now. You can't see it, but I
have hot pink toes that I always do for my girls.
How can everyone find avadan You go to avadean beauty
dot com. We now have about twenty three shades and
(19:01):
we are about to launch our next level, which is
going to be lipsticks and lip liners, uh, lip gloss,
body scrub, hand wash, and the goal is to move
into a full beauty line. Um, so you're gonna be
the next Rihanna. I'm I'm I'm gonna look, that's the
that's the goal. I mean, obviously, ladies, I know out there,
(19:21):
you guys, and I'm guilty of it myself. Bio gel
is like the in thing because it lasts longer. But
all of our stuff is organic. It's all natural, animal
cruelty free, so we're not going to get to the
bio gel. Sorry, but but it's important. Surprisingly, our stuff
lasts for like three weeks, it really does, and it
won't chip. So you don't need bio jel. You just
(19:43):
need and it's important these days to you know, support
a company that thinks about that kind of stuff we do.
And we've also partnered up with a lot of amazing charities. Uh.
The most recent one we did was the John Ridder Foundation.
We did a very exclusive color for them, um for
the Pink You Promise Coalition, which was phenomenal. Um. I
(20:05):
know we've talked about doing colors together. I know we
are boys thirtieth anniversary this year. What do you guys
have planned? Not a damn thing. We we we actually
we just talked about this on the last leg um
in Europe. We started a conversation in Europe back in November,
(20:25):
and then we did a bunch of Christmas radio shows
this past December. Um. So I got so Nick's a
big golfer. Now how he's into golf now, Brian, I
have been playing golf for eons. Um. Uh, I've kind
of partnered with a company called p X g UM.
They've been phenomenal with me, and I've got all my
boys hooked up with PHG Clubs. H The owner of
(20:48):
p HG, Bob Parsons, is a veteran and he has
a lot of stuff with veterans. So we're trying to
finally put together a charity golf tournament that morning or
afternoon and then that evening party it up in Vegas. UM.
I'll be sitting back watching everyone party it up, but
I am still have a good time. We just want
(21:08):
to like not have to do anything that day and
just celebrate together. UM. But we look at this is
our thirtieth year, so we're definitely got some things up
our sleeve that we're talking about. UM. We definitely want
to do some kind of a performance something. UM. I

June in what we call the exotics, so like Dubai,

Saudi Arabia, UM, hopefully Egypt for the first time, maybe
do something in front of the Pyramids. UM. We've we've
never gotten the offer. UM, we talked about it. There's
a new festival also that's supposed to be starting at
some point this year. I don't know what it is.
There's so many festivals. UM. We've been talking about putting
(21:51):
together our own festival for the longest time. UM and
getting uh, getting a lot of acts together and trying
to do something not only in the US, but oversee
as well. Because if there's a lot of groups that
you know, I'm sure if I'm back in the day,
remember bloom Shin and all these different Mr President Mr Exactly,
So all these acts from all over the globe doing
something like that could be kind of fun. We love Renee.
(22:14):
We just we just had dinner at his house. Oh
my gosh. He is phenomenal. That man never stops. I mean,
it's what started at all, really, honestly, that's how we started.
We opened up for him. There's something I want to
know about. Okay, Turkey, Well this is very important. We're
discussing earlier and you forgot, but you competed and did
(22:44):
very well on RuPaul Celebrity talk about Cety didn't discuss
and I'm like the first celebrity RuPaul dreg Race winner. Yeah.
And so I have my crown inceptor at my house. Finally,
I didn't know they were going to send to me.
And it's like my daughter has kept asking about it,
and I'm like, I don't know if they're gonna send it.
(23:05):
And then sure enough, I come back off the road
and it's sitting in my office, this beautiful crown in
the scepter which they were there heavy as crap, and
I told my girls, I'm like, this is not a
toy this So how hard was that? I mean, this
is the show I think you would love. I would
(23:27):
do it again in a heartbeat. Um, if you were
to compare that to dancing, dancing was way more stress,
way more stress. This. You know, it wasn't my first
time in heels. Let's just say that I wore heels
at my wedding, so it's not like I'm not but
this was my first time performing in heels. Dancing in
(23:47):
heels as a whole other ballgame. Um, did you feel
like a different person when you were made up? I
felt like myself, Like I felt just at home. I
felt comfortable. Um. You know something that I that that
not a lot of people know. Um that the show
kind of inspired. You know, everyone knows I've had facial
(24:08):
hair like my whole career. I and I used to
have a massive beard. Um. The reason behind that was
genetically in my family, we have like this extra layer
of skin on our neck, and like it always made
me insecure. I hated my profile. I hate all of it.
So my daughters then started calling it my droopy, which
(24:29):
really got in my really hard. So when I was
doing RuPaul uh, I want to say Raven is his
name is that us may make a partist. He sat
me down and he's like, listen, I want you to
win this. I just want to give you some pointers.
Take it or leave it. He goes, have you ever
(24:49):
thought about taping? And I'm like, is that like tucking?
He's like, no, no, No, Taping is when we tape
your eyebrows up under your wig and we pull your
neck back so you have a really prominent jawline. I
was like, whatever I gotta do to win, I'm in.
So the week that I was Dolly was the first
time I did the taping and I got to see
what I looked like with a jawline, and I like
(25:11):
got really emotional, Like I was like, holy crap, this
is this is cool. So literally before the show was
over being taped, I made it. I booked an appointment
at an amazing plastic surgeon in my area and he
did LiPo and face tight and I am over the
moon about it. I feel like I'm twenty years younger.
(25:31):
It gave me this confidence. Now I'm like super trimmed down. Like, look,
I've never been a big big fan of cause like
of like kind of weird stuff. But I get it.
If it makes you feel good, there's nothing wrong with that. Um.
But I mean, look, you know, will I ever get
(25:51):
abbin plants? No, I'm gonna do that on my own.
You know, I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind some caffine
plants though, because my god, man, oh my god, I
can't get happen. It's a trap, dude. It's never gonna happen.
It's not gonna Happen's not gonna happen. I have no
But that's just like literally like match stick like parts.
I've been wearing more shorts, but it's it's literally it's
like where where are they? They're not even there. It's
(26:13):
just I'm the same way. It's weird. My left one
won't grow an inch, but the right one will. This
is very strange. So you're just always just know, I'm
always in where the leansing going on? No, I hate
it because I have the littlest calfs ever. I used
I used to have great legs right there. That's basically
what I'm working with right now. Yeah, I used to
have great legs. Like you know, my eyes are great,
(26:35):
just because of dancing. But then once I stopped and sync,
I'm like, oh I'm not those are just gone. No,

world for me, Like I was jut stricken. Um, but
it had so many holes in it. I was wrapped
in it as a baby, and I to this day,
(29:55):
I only buy shirts that I can twirl. That's what
I call it, because I picked my fingers as like
a nervous tick, which is sometimes very painful. But if
I find shirts, they have to have a certain feeling
that I can twirl. And I got that from having
my me and my bankies. What I called it, I
would do at the edge of my blanket, and every
night I would steal napkins from like hotels because it's
(30:19):
the best texture. Sorry, all the hotels I've stolen from.
