Nick on Open House Party John: "How are you Nick?" Nick: "Good, man. How you doin'?" John: "Good! Good to talk to you again." Nick: "Yeah, you too." John: "So-o-o-o.Now that the tour's over, what are you gonna do?" Nick: "We're gonna take a little time off again, then we're gonna record." John: "Have they given you any of the material yet for the new album?" Nick: "We're gonna pretty much try to write a lot for this next album. You know, we're thinking about taking a trip, just the five of us, and goin' to like, uh, somewhere..out in the middle of nowhere, and do the writin' together." John: "Like where? Where would be the middle of nowhere? What kind of places?" Nick: "I dunno.some, some island or somethin' maybe, maybe an island somewhere." John: "Well, you can't go, just the five of you. I mean, you'll have to bring, you know, friends along. And people, or somethin'" Nick: "Well, I mean, we, we want it pretty much to just be uh, you- you know, us, because of the fact that, you know, that's where it starts. And we wanna, um, get like a good vibe goin' on between us and everything." John: "What's goin' on with your basketball? Are you still play - are you still foolin' around?" Nick: "Oh yeah. I'm always foolin' around, playin' basketball." John: "Anybody ever set you up in one of those, uh, those celebrity things, where, uh, you play with, you know, real basketball players?" (Was this supposed to be a set-up to give a plug for the upcoming charity game??? And Nick just missed it - LMAO) Nick: "Yeah, well, I mean, we do that once in awhile. I usually go back home and play street ball. That's what I play." John: "What do you do, uh, for relaxation?" Nick: "I play video games." John: "What's your favorite video game?" Nick: "Actually, I've been playing a computer game called "The Sims." John (repeats the name): "The Sims". Nick: "Yeah! Oh, ma GOD!!" John: "Is it like "Sim City?" Nick: "Yeah, eh, well it's like "Sim City" but you actually create people.." John: "WOW!" Nick: "And you have 'em live in a house, and you've gotta basically run their whole lives and everything, and they LIVE. They go to work, they, it's..it's ridiculous." John: "That's like that little Japanese thing where you have the little baby and the little toy you buy and you feed it." Nick: "Yeah.it's, it's much more in depth, though, too, you know. You have to take care of your, you know, you have relationships with people. You get friends, and stuff like that." John: "And you what, you pick where they live or what? How's it work?" Nick: "Yeah, you pick where they live.You, you manage their money.You read the newspaper.you know, and if the newspaper says that there's a job, you know, an application out for somebody, then you, then.Basically, they just, you know, you pick your job that you want to go to.and depending on what you pick, if you're livin' in the house with somebody, um, and you're always leavin' and the person doesn't have friends, they become depressed for like five days straight and you can't go see 'em." John (Laughs): "That's great!" Nick: "And, and depending on your stats and what you, what, what you pick in the beginning.Like, um, You know - I'm not a really clean, not CLEAN like, but uh, you know. I'm a, I'm a messy person when it comes to, like, my rooms and stuff.so, you know, I wanted to be pretty realistic on me." John: "Yeah." Nick: "So I put, you know, n-neatness, and it says it's like the category of neatness. And I put, like, 2 bars, when you're supposed to put, like, 15 bars.." John (Laughs) Nick: "And, ma-a-a-a-n, I had ONE heck of a time (laughs). I had to buy me a garbage disposal (laughs). It was RIDICULOUS, I'm tellin' you what." John: "But wait a minute.You, you can make it sort of like YOU, so you can actually put yourself in this game." Nick: "Yeah, yeah." John: "WOW. Does, does it ask you if you can sing?" (Laughs) Nick: "Yeah, right, huh!" John (Laughs) Nick: "No, you get like.you can also buy like TV's.boom boxes.It's, it's really cool. I like, I like it." John: "That sounds like a great - " Nick: "But you can stay on, you can stay on it forever. I HAD to actually pull myself off of it last night." John: "Do they have a website, like, where you can interact with other people who do that?" Nick: "I'm sure - yeah, I'm sure they do." John: "So, someday they could, like, have a city where you could, like, plug in and like, like plug YOUR game and YOUR person .." Nick: "Well, the way I think about it, and looking at what it is NOW..on these computers and everything.Imagine what it's gonna be like in 10 years." John: "Oh, I know - Crazy." Nick: "You know what I'm sayin'?" John: "You're gonna put a headset on and you're gonna BE that person." Nick: "See! I KNOW! Here comes The Matrix." John (Laughs): "Oh, God, 21st Century. Wow." Nick: "Oh!!!" (He's having a revelation of something he forgot to tell about the game, but he stops and starts laughing guiltily) "I'll tell you later.some more about it..." John (Laughs when he realizes what Nick's insinuating): "I-I-I-I know what you're sayin'!" (still laughing) Nick (embarrassed): "No! No, no, no!!" John: "Maybe you and one of the Sims will HAVE to get married." (laughs really hard) Nick (more embarrassed): "Oh, Gawd!" John (Laughs harder). Nick (scolding tone): "Go get the GAME!" John: "I WILL. That sounds like a great game. Thanks for the tip. Nick Carter, you have a great night." Nick: "Take care, bud." John: "Thanks, man." |
