Part 1

Host: Today have come to have fun in our show….the Backstreet Boys!!

Host: Welcome to Spain. Let’s see if I got it right, you are Nick?

Ant: It’s Brian!

Host: You are Brian, you are AJ, you are Howie and you are Nick! Excuse me, but I can’t read upside down. They gave me the papers upside down. I’m delighted about being with people like you because it’s not a normal thing being with someone who has sold 90 million records around the world.

Brian: That’s a lot!

Host: It is. It’s Spain’s, Chile’s and Birmania’s population all together. You have sold all those records and now you have a new one called “This is us” with which you’ll be starting a tour around the world. Well let me tell you it’s gonna be kinda far for you Singapore Sept. 27, far? It’s ok, don’t worry. Phoenix, AZ Oct, 23rd, it doesn’t matter. Oct, 30 Lisbon? Mmmmh

Brian: And where are we gonna be Oct. 31st?

Host: In Madrid, Palacio Vistalegre. Hey one thing, you speak some Spanish?

Howie: A little bit. My mom is Puerto Rican.

Host: You say Spain is one of your favorite countries to visit because the Spanish fans are very enthusiastic. By enthusiastic you mean alcoholic?

Howie: No, No. When Nick is here with me the girls are *mwah* a lot.

Host: Nick, tell me something. Are you of those that when the show is over says: “Well I’m gonna go for a drink let’s see if I get some”.

Nick: Nooo. Nah you know, we have fun when we are in Spain. Well every time we come to Spain, in Madrid and Barcelona. And our fans are awesome we see them all the time at the hotel lobbies and stuff. Even at the airport we had just landed and they were already waiting for us they were like crazy and we like it.

Howie: That’s true, that’s something that, I say it with all my love to all the fans, but the feeling when that happens repeatedly is that you are the Backstreet Boys or Alien the 8th passenger? Because every time you see a girl they go, AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

AJ: Aaah!! It’s really flattering. I don’t know what guy wouldn’t like girls screaming and holding onto them when they see them, especially here in Spain; the fans are so passionate and get so excited. We love it. Keep on doing it, keep on doing it.

Host: Brian, in Spain, fans tend to say two things: “Handsome! “ And the other is: “I want your babies!” Have you ever granted that desire?

Brian: to my wife!

Host: I would like to know, for example, in other places, in the US they won’t say: I want your babies. What do they say there?

Brian: It’s funny because the older we’ve gotten, our fans have also grown up, and one of the signs we saw in the last tour said, “Look at us, we have boobs!”

Host: For example in Germany they say that they clap a lot but they barely laugh on comic shows. For instance, in China, you go to China and what do fans say there? “Put a spring roll inside?”

Howie: There’s no chorizo in China, just here.

Host: “Eat my fried Won-ton?” They have that in China.

Howie: It’s crazy though. We enjoy coming to Spain every time cause we get to eat such great food, tapas, paella, that’s why we enjoy ourselves a lot every time we come to Spain.

Host: What did you eat today?

Howie: Spaghetti Bolognese.

Host: Very good Spanish food, yes sir, Spaghetti Bolognese. Are you gonna eat Greek tonight? Nick: But we had Tapas last time.

Howie: And last night we also had some Tapas. Even for breakfast I guess.

Host: Bravas fries with a muffin always taste good. I wanna talk about your Chinese fans because I’m very excited about 2 guys that we’ve found on the Internet. There are a lot of people who covers your songs, but these two guys are very funny. Have a look. (After video) Ok come here, let’s do it, can we try? We should try mocking them.

Brian: I’m gonna be like the one in the background, you come here.

Host: I’m gonna introduce Trancas and Barrancas.

Ants: Hello, how are you?? OMG the Backs!! The Backs!!! Aaaaaah, Aaaah, Brian!! Brian!!!

Ant 2: Hey is it true that you wanted to call the album This is Ass, but they didn’t let you?

Nick: Actually in one of our songs we talk about actually grabbing booty, ass.

Ants: Ah very good. Wow.

Ant2: No touching eeeh.

Ant1: Hey so how did you take the fact Robbie Williams left the band?

Ant2: No, that’s Take That dumbass.

Ant1: But TT is not cool. BSB rocks!!!

Host: This is the single and it’s very good to dance to. Show me some of the choreography. Ok, Ok that was a warm up. So what do you want to propose?

Ant 1: Well we want to do an exchange. They showed you their dance moves so why not show them a Spanish song?

Ant2: Yeah Barrancas and I have been debating and we are gonna show you a song called La Barbacoa. It’s a romantic song, with some touch of protest song that dives into the most intense feelings of the human being.

Host: La Barbacoa, well Giorgi Dann usually come every summer and are very successful here so we will do the cultural exchange that Trancas and Barrancas suggested. I show you how to sing and dance to La Barbacoa, but in exchange you have to show me the choreography of your single a bit better. But let’s take a break first.

Part 2

Host: They have a new album and they will be in Spain on Oct. 31 at the Palacio Vistalegre. You had proposed something.

Ant2: If you want, I can remind them. I can talk already.

Host: What an idiot and a nuisance you are.

Ant2: That too. Fire me then! So we are gonna sing La Barbacoa, ok? It’s a very intense love song. Take the guitar Pablo. We start the song and you catch up.

Host to BSB: It would be great if you could end up being able to sing it alone. That would be historical!

Ant1: Sing it first Pablo and then they can join in.

Host: Ok, first. I was gonna start speaking English, see how stupid I am? I was gonna say, I will tell them in English first. Well, we sing it first and then we’ll go at bits so you can sing it. It’s easy.

Host: First just Brian, then just AJ.

Ant2: now it’s your turn Pablo, this is a cultural exchange. You have to learn the choreograpgy of BSB.

Host: But I wanna teach them how to dance this like Giorgi Dann would because everyone around him can dance but him. They dance.

H: Ok, now I wanna learn your choreography. We play the song and you dance. I will stay on a side to not bother and we try it.

Part 3

Scientist: (They are using a machine the world champion of the 100mm trains with) So we are gonna try it, when we are running our joints suffer because we step on the ground, so if we do it in the water our joints don’t suffer and that’s why athletes train in machines like this one.

Host: and this has water?

Scientist: it does.

Host: Very good.

Scientist: So let’s try it.

Host: Well sorry, sorry. He is a Pro. We are testing it if one of you wants to try it.

Scientist: Do you like running?

Brian: Mmm yeah.

Host: You will have to take your pants off.

Brian: Me?

Host: He said yes! He said yes!

Brian: Ok,Ok.

Host: Let’s change there.

Brian: Where am I gonna change?

Ants: OMG what I’m seeing.

Host: Hey! Stop peaking through the corners.

Ants: Woooh well well well.

Host: Well I wanna say that the Backstreet Boys are not boys anymore.

(Brian drops the mic) Host: Another mic. We don’t want this one anymore.

Part 4

AJ: 15 degrees?

Brian: I'm gonna freeze my balls off.

Host: We would love that you tell us how you feel.

Brian: My feelings are frozen, but I can do this. I can do it because I’m a Backstreet Boy, I’m in a boy band and I can run in the water.

AJ: It’s gonna get till here?

Scientist: Ok once it’s full he has to start running.

Host: We are gonna start the treadmill. There’s a lot of resistance, but a sport man like you can do it. Let’s make it go faster.

Ant2: Our aim was killing one of the BSB. Brian was the chosen one.

Host: He made it! Ok let’s stop the machine.

Brian: I like this. I want this machine in my house.

Host: Let’s get him out. Let’s help him get out. And now Flippy is gonna do a demonstration. What are you doing? What are you doing?

Part 5

Host: We are back in El Hormiguero with the Backstreet Boys. This new segment is with the man in black. He’s gonna explain how to throw nails to that cloth.

Host: Ok! Stop!

Man in black: It’s a skull, like it?

Someone: It’s AJ.

Host: It looks more like AJ than like a skull. The signature is missing? Hey, hey that’s gasoline, you can’t burn it up. We are in a studio it’s dangerous.

Host: Thank god we put it out. Watch out, they are nails. Well, I wanna say something; we knew you were good, we knew you were nice, we knew you could sing, but not as well as you did. You are incredible. Thank you!!
