AJ McLean And Joey Fatone Talk Backstreet And *NSYNC

On January 18th, Backstreet Boy AJ McLean phoned into Joey Fatone’s radio show based in Orlando. Joey asked what’s up with the Backstreet Boys because he just heard from Howie Dorough that the group was recording again. He told AJ that he and Howie were supposed to arm wrestle and asked who’d win. AJ said Joey would definitely beat Howie. Joey and AJ hung out together on AJ’s birthday at a porn convention. They talked about some of the freaks they saw there, including a pregnant stripper and a woman with humongous breasts. Joey asked again when BSB was hittin’ the studio because *NSYNC wanted to beat them to the punch. AJ said January 26th. Joey’s response: “Darn it.” AJ said they’re going in with an open mind and are just gonna write hit songs. Joey asked AJ what song he’d like to hear on the air. AJ’s response: ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ by Prodigy, clarifying that he doesn’t actually smack bitches up; he just likes the song. Then after AJ hung up, Joey and the other DJ argued about who was better, the Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC. Joey said *NSYNC. The other DJ said the Backstreet Boys because he likes their songs and prefers ‘I Want It That Way’ over ‘Bye Bye Bye’ and ‘Backstreet’s Back’ over ‘It’s Gonna Be Me.’ Download the 4-minute interview here.
