R- Bunch of hanson fans surrounding us!!

R- Now, you guys are no strangers to this....when you walk into a room there's yelling, yelling, yelling.

T- Not all the time...it's just because they're frightened. Oh my God!

I- Ya, i think that's what it is.

R- How's the hearing going?? Cause mine right now, I can't really hear too much.

I- Thank goodness we don't have quite such a close audience.

R- Yes, yes, yes.

T- We did a show in Montreal and our ears... My ears were ringing the whole day after the show.

R- Where about's... the Molson Centre??

T- Ya.

R- Big hockey arena there all... ya.

R- Before we go any further... I know you know their names, I know that but I like introducing names. I'm gonna add middle names, as well. We are gonna start, on my left is Zachary Walker Hanson.

*Screaming*

T- Cool.

R- Over there is Jordan Taylor Hanson.

*More screaming*

R- At the end there, Clarke Isaac Hanson.

*Yet more screaming*

T- What's your middle name??

R- Mine is Rick the Temp Campanelli.

T- Ok. Hahaha.

R- You guys are from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

All- Ya.

R- Oklahoma, as I mentioned earlier is the Sooner state. Did you know that, the Sooner state?? (asking the crowd; crowd doesn't answer) I thought you knew everything about Hanson!!

T- Ha!! You flunked it!!

R- So what does the Sooner state mean? That's what I'm asking. What's the Sooner state?

I- Well, the Sooners, I might get a bit mixed up, the Sooners were people that went ahead of the gun when there was the land run.

R- That's right, the general settlement. When they came out, I'm pretty sure it was April 22nd, noon, April 22nd...

T- Wow!

R- 1889.

T and I- You have really studied.

R- The people who came in before the time...

I- ...were Sooners.

R- ...approached too soon so they were called Sooners. There you go, there you are.

I- Exactly that's right.

R- What do you think of Toronto?? You've been here before??

I- Yes, Toronto is very cool.

T- We love Toronto.

*Screaming*

R- You guys have travelled alot, like in younger ages because of your father, because he is travelling. Ecuador, Venezuela, Trinidad. Did you guys learn anything from these countries? Did you bring anything back with you?

Z- We learned a little bit of spanish.

T- And then we forgot it all.

Z- See the problem was, we were really getting into spanish, then we left. So it's like......NO!!!!!!!

R- So if you stayed...

Z- ...we would have been like...(says words that are blabber, not even spanish)

T- No, that's German.

I- Ya.

T- German is like... we're signing autographs after the show...

Z- (does weird noises)

T- and their names are like "Hi, this is (weird noise)."

*Crowd laughs*

T- And we're like, how do you spell that? How do you spell....

R- You got spit on me.

T- Sorry (wipes it off). Exactly what we said.

I- I like the name not the weather, you know.

R- You guys coming from Tulsa going to L.A. to record MON. You spend 5 months down there. Is this your first time to L.A?

I- Ya, it would have been...

T- Not. Actually, no it was not.

R- So you've been there before?

Z- We've been there like 3 times before.

T- Before that, we had driven up, actually our dad's company flew us up a few times. Just because they were really.....

Z- Just because they were going. They just let us on the plane.

T- Get in the luggage rack.

R- What I'm getting at is your 1st time there it must have been a culture shock, coming from Tulsa. Is it a big...?

Z- Well see, Tulsa isn't like, "Hi, I'm Billy (in southern accent). All I do is farm and shoot shotguns." (spits, well pretends to)

I- Tulsa is a pretty good sized city, about 1 million people there and..

T- ...it's home.

I- L.A. is very cool but Tulsa's home.

R- You guys have been very successful. 12 million. MON. More than 12 million MON sold. Thanks to these guys and many others.

*Crowd cheers*

R- Has the success affected you in a way?

T- I hope not.

R- You hope not?

T- We've grown extra arms that we've hidden behind our shirts. Oh my god, I told you.

I- We started growing other things.

Z- I've actually grown wings.

R- You've grown wings?

Z- Yes, and I had surgery to take it off.

I- That affected us. We voluntarily...

Z- See, it didn't cost much 'cause I just met this guys with a chainsaw and it was just...(chainsaw noise)

R- There you go. You met a chainsaw master.

T- It was fairly bloody, but you know.

R- We're gonna come back with Hanson. Do you mind that?

Crowd- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

R- First, we are going to get to the video that started it all for you guys. It's called NNMBOP right?

Crowd- MMMBOP!!!!!!!!!

R- We can't get past that word without there being a loud cheering or anything.

T- What, you mean hanson?

R- Ya. (laughs)

*Screaming*

R- One thing that's going to be a surprise for you and for us is the new video, River. We're going to be playing it for you and for all of you. (points to t.v)

Z- I'm going to tell you something. (whispers in Rick's ear "Hanson"; laughs) I am freakin' bad.

R- We have some questions from the environment audience. You have the 1st question. (points to girl) Hi, what's your name?

G- Hi, I'm Ashley, I'm from Otoboko (sp?). We ditched our graduation to come see you guys and I was wondering....

Z- Sorry.

G- ...if you guys weren't famous, what's the craziest thing you would do to meet a celebrity?

T- To meet a celebrity...

Z- I don't know. I'm not that...

T- ...chase them down the road on rollerblades, tie a rope on the back of their tour bus, and you drag...

Z- Chase them down on a dirt bike, I don't know...

I- I'm actually pretty impressed. I honestly wouldn't...

Z- ...ditch my graduation.

I- Not like any in this studio.

R- It's not a studio, we call it an environment.

T- Ok, an environment. (makes hand movements)

I- Environment...

Z- Are you environmental?

R- Friendly?

I- Environmentally friendly, you better.

R- You've been to lots of award shows right?

*All nod in unison*

R- You must have met a lot of big name stars, people you've looked up to...

I- We met Jewel, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, ahhh....

Z- Slash...

I- Slash, Jonny Lang...

T- He's very cool...

R- (in girly voice) Oh Jonny Lang...

T- Jonny Lang, he's very cool...

I- Very cool guy, he's very nice.

R- Anyone else here? I think the girl in the green t-shirt... What's your name?

G- Angel.

R- Angel...

G- Taylor, what would a date with you entail??

T- Ok, a date with me entails... I don't know, it would depends on who the person was and what the situation was...

R- Dates?? Have you been on dates? You've been on a few dates since the CD came out???...

T- Ya.

Z- We've been on a few dates.. a few HANSON dates and ummmm....

R- Good times. You've had good times...

Z- Yes, and the time is four...

I- He takes everything very literally.

Z- You know what? You gotta be a politician.

R- You guys have a question over there? Hi, what's your name?

G- I'm Donna from (couldn't make out). I was wondering since you already know more than 3 quarters of your fans are girls... Does it bother you that you have this teenybopper image? Ya, you know? In magazines, honestly, your portrayed as these... I don't know...

Z- Well, if you think about it you guys are the main people that buy the records...

T- Ya, you guys are Da Bomb!! You rule!!

*Screaming*

I- Well, regards to all that... we just do what we do and I think people who think that way, hopefully they will takes us more seriously. Hopefully, as time goes on... I think the show tomorrow is gonna be very cool.

*NOTE* While Isaac was talking Zac was distracting Rick and making him laugh.

*Screaming*

R- You guys going to that? Are you okay back there??? I'm looking over at you and... Want to have a seat next to me here??

*Crowd is ecstatic*

T- Ya, take a seat...

(girl takes seat armed with camera)

R- Ahhh, there. Everything is going to be okay. Can we get some water over here??

G- I got some...

R- We are going to the new video. Wanna talk about it a little bit?

T- First of all, lots of people watch the video and it's not a full spoof. We didn't take the whole video and make it a Titanic spoof. A lot of people watch it and don't notice Weird Al, so look out for him.

R- Ohhh, we shouldn't have told them that...

I- Weird Al directed this video. It's a spoof of Titanic.

Z- And, as you guys probably know he's usually in every video he does something in. So...

I- So we'll show it for you.

R- Are we all ready? Yes, you wanna see it??

Crowd- YESSS!!!!!!!!!!

R- We're gonna see the new video. Check this out right here.

*RIVER*

R- We're back with Hanson on Muchmusic.

*REALLY LOUD SCREAMING*

I- You have to plug your ears when you want to talk.

Z- (plugging his ears yells) HOW ARE YOU DOING???

R- My question for you guys is, you've been doing this for many years, do you remember the 1st song you ever wrote?

T- First song we ever wrote...

I- Yes...

Z- ...we do.

R- And how old were you?? (taps zac)

Z- Very young.

T- I guess Zac was 6... actually he was younger than that, he was 4.

R- What's the song called?

Z- We cannot tell you.

Z- It's like ahhhh ehhhh ohhh ahhhh.

T- It was kind of a gruntel song.

R- And Zac was in the background doing, Mamma... Dadda. (Zac starts getting up)

T- You're gonna get it...

(Zac grabs Rick by the neck and throws him on the floor, well almost)

R- Security!! Security!!! They're just standing there!!! The security are just standing there. I got some faxes and those aren't my words so if they offend you don't do that to me again, do it to the... It says... LETTER READ BY RICK:

Hi Hanson and Rick,

I'd like to get your personal feelings on how you feel when people say you sing and look like girls.

*Crowd boos*

Although you guys are truly talented and sexy.

R- Can you answer that? It's from Ashley in (couldn't make out) Nova Scotia.

I- If we are girls... we are the UGLIEST girls I have ever seen.

*SCREAMING*

Z- (makes face deformed) Ahhhh, I'm a girl.

I- It's hard to believe that I sound like a girl, otherwise I would be a very butch girl.

T- (butch voice) ALLO...

Z- It's like... (butch voice) Allo, I am Huga.

*Laughing*

R- If you were wondering (couldn't make out) Nova Scotia is in Eastern Canada. (reading another fax)

We were wondering if you feel you have broken any barriers reaching such success at such a young age.

From Laura in Traneis (sp?)

(Zac starts banging on thing they are sitting on)

I- Broken any barriers...

T- There are tons of groups huger than we are.

R- What, like Backstreet Boys and N'Sync?

T- Lots of OTHER groups.

R- But being such a young band in an industry run by older people...

T- Not for long, man.

R- There you go.

Z- They're all going down, we're getting them assassinated.

T- We love doing music and that's what it's all about and the other stuff comes with the package, I guess.

R- If the music were to come to an end, what would be in your future, Hanson's future?? Acting for this guy maybe? (looks at Zac)

Z- No, I'm a terrible actor.

T- Security, Hitman. (for zac)

Z- Pow!

R- I think we have somebody on the line... Ohhh, were you going to say something??? (to tay)

T- No, it's just the pop just got to Zac.

R- Someone on the line? Ummm hello?? Who would this be??

G- Ashley.

R- Ashley? Another Ashley? Not from Nova Scotia, are you?

G- No, from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.

T- Nova Scotia, cool!

R- Say hello to the guys.

G- Hi Hanson! HI!

R- What's your question, Ashley?

G- Since you guys are brothers, don't you get on each others nerves?

I- Ummmmm...

T- Only a few times... (grabs Ike)

I- Only a little bit... BAM!!! (hits tay in the face)

(zac grabs taylor by the neck)

I- Woops, I accidentally hit him that time.

R- You could be a wrestling team.

I- Brotherly Love. We actually get along very very well. I just made contact...

T- You just hit me.

I- ...but you know...

T- Well it's like that, you are always hitting each other. Brotherly Love.

(zac is pretending to hit him)

T- You know I'm in the middle, I'm going to move. Zac move over here.

(Zac moves over him to the middle)

Z- Ok

R- Ashley, does that answer your question?

G- I want to say I love you guys so much.

Hanson- Thank you, Bye Ashley!

R- You guys are all classically trained on the piano.

T- We used to be.

R- You used to be? Well you play a little bit?? (directed to Tay)

I- Ya, he can play a mean keyboard.

T- My piano teacher never liked me. I banged, I was like, you know, you're supposed to curve your fingers, I was like this. ( shows movements with fingers)

I- He corrected his bad habit.

T- We did a little bit of the piano lesson thing.

I- We took it for like 7 years.

Z- It is kinda weird. In piano lessons, I always hated counting. Now I am doomed to count 'cause I'm the drummer now. I cannot not count.

R- Good thing you love math so much right???

Z- Oh ya, I really love math. (in exaggerated voice; makes disgusted face)

R- We were talking about the Backstreet Boys, N'Sync earlier. Does it bother you to get thrown into a... with artists like that? Is it like a good thing?

I- Every band is very different. Every band has it's own thing. We have our thing that we do. I hate to throw any band into a category.

*Crowd cheers*

R- Good work guys, good work.

R- Tomorrow who's the band opening up 'cause I think they're here, back there.

T- Ya, Admiral Twin.

I- Ya, Admiral Twin.

T and I- ...from Tulsa.

R- Shows at MLG, Maple Leaf Gardens?

T- Yes.

Crowd- NOOOO!!!!

I- Actually, it's at the Molson Amphitheatre.

R- Omigosh, Zac come here.

Z- (arm around rick's neck) We're loving.

R- Molson Amphitheatre tomorrow, that would be Tuesday the 23rd.

I- Cool, I can't wait.

R- We're gonna go... We have another minute. Okay, we can hang out for another little while...

Z- Yes!

R- Want some water? (to zac)

Z- Thank you so much!!! (spills some)

R- You came out with 3 Car Garage after coming out with MON. It's older material. Why did you do that instead of going back into the studio to work on new stuff?

T- Well because we wanted to play, to come here.

Z- See the thing was, we told everyone we were going to play, so then if we went back into the studio it would be even longer to play.

R- You'd make them all mad.

Z- They would be coming with sticks, and torches, and guns.

R- These nice people?

T- Hey, you haven't seen them yet.

I- Actually with 3 Car Garage we really wanted to go on tour but we got a lot of letters saying... a lot of requests asking for it. That's one of the main reasons we did it. We are playing a lot of songs from that album on tour also, which you know, so they know the music. We were going to play those anyways.

T- Make people more familiar with it.

R- This has been fun. Nice meeting you guys. Have fun at the Molson Amphitheatre. Here's Weird.

Crowd- WE LOVE YOU, HANSON!!!!

R- Thanks for coming.

*WEIRD*
