Top of the Pops magazine is having bands which represent each country that are playing in the World Cup and Hanson is the band for the USA! Go boys for the USA!!
Are Hanson into Football?
Isaac: We're not really up on the World Cup. I mean, who qualified? I don't even know that!
Zac: One thing I know for sure is we're not gonna win.
That's not very positive.
Isaac: (looking a tad gloomy) Well, soccer's not really that huge in America, but I did play when I was younger.
Zac: Yeah, we all played soccer for a real long time.
Taylor: Erm, I played for three years and Zac played, for, like, three months.
Zac: No, I played for five. I was mainly goalie or defender so I didn't get to score many goals.
Isaac: I was actually so bad on the pitch that I decided to become a ref. that was great, I really enjoyed telling the coaches to calm down when they got a bit ratty. I'd say "hey, just chill out, man!"


Interviewer: So what do you guys think of girls?
Zac: They're great... but...
Isaac: Zac doesn't date yet, cause, you know...
Zac: I love them.
Taylor: Zac likes everyone we do!
Zac: (laughs) It's in the blood!
Taylor: We all like Gwen Stefani.
Zac: Yeah, she's cool.
Isaac: You see, he does! I told you!
Zac: (jokingly) Ike is just jealous because this girl flirted more with me afer a concert, because I am so fine!
Isaac: You wish!
Zac: Eww, now we get down to the good parts! (acts excited)
Taylor: Yeah, go on Ike, they want to hear more...
Isaac: Well, I met this girl after a concert ans she was really pretty and nice...
Zac: (whispers to the camera) She was all over him!
Isaac: Zac, she was not! She's like 17 though... but she was a babe dude (in Butthead voice)
Taylor: I never got a good look at her, but I think she was a brunette.
Isaac: Yeah, brunetters are cool!
Zac: (looks at Isaac) Brunetters?! (laughs)
Isaac: (rolls his eyes at Zac)
Taylor: I think this is the climax!
Isaac: (trys to go but keeps laughing at what Taylor said)
Zac: Okay, you see... he met this girl afterwards and she and him were doing this little flirty thing... you know, all mooshy mooshy... and then they said their goodbyes.
Isaac: If I ever saw here again...
Zac: Wow Ike, you rebel!
Isaac: Wait! I didn't finish! Zac, you're so bad; you're wasting my time! (he play fights Zac)
Taylor: Okay, so if he ever saw her again he would talk to her. Tha end (leans back)
Isaac: Thanks Tay
Zac: Tay, who do you like?
Taylor: Well, I like girls, but I haven't seen a girl that I can really just go up to her without going, uh...
Zac: Let me help (taking deep breathes) Oh my god! I... oh my god!
Isaac: Zac likes Avery
Zac: Oh yeah! I'm gonna marry her! (all laugh)
Zac: Sorry, but I prefer girls that are older.
Isaac: Okay, we have to stop here or we are going to get too descriptive!
Taylor: I already told my whole story
Isaac: Yeah, because you aren't as girl crazy as us!
Taylor: How do you know I'm not girl crazy?
Zac: Cause!(stands up) You're not, buddy!
Taylor: Zac, you would make a cute girl!
Zac: So would you! (tries to sit in Taylor's lap)
Isaac: I guess I'm the only REAL man here!
Zac: I guess so.... JUST KIDDING! (Taylor breaks up into huge laugh)
Zac: Okay, we have to go!
Isaac: Yeah, we have stuff to do... (Isaac and Zac wave wildly)
This interview is from E! news

Interviewer: So, do you guys have girlfriends yet?

Tay: Yeah, I'm going out with a 17 year old, Tracy. She lives in Tulsa. We've known each other for 3 years and we started dating about 5 months ago.
Ike: Yeah, my girlfriend's name is (oops..i forget sorry guys!!) and we've been going out for about a month now.
Tay: Yeah, but I mean Tracy and I have a normal teen-age relationship... you know, the whole holding hands, huggy-kissy thing.
Ike: Yeah, me too. Itz pretty great.

Interviewer: So I guess you (to Tay) have had your first kiss by now.

Tay: Oh yeah, a LONG time ago...kissing is a daily thing for me now.
Zac: Yeah, I have a girlfriend, too. Her name is Demeitre. THEN THEY ALL START BURSTING OUT LAUGHING. IT WAS A JOKE!!!!!
Tay: We've done this on two other shows and we just wanted to see what everyone's reaction would be. None of us have girlfriends. :o)

TVH: We know you're dead famous pop stars and that, but are any of you dab hands in the kitchen?

TAYLOR: Do you mean can we cook? Not really, I can cook hot cakes and scrambled eggs, but that's about it.
ISAAC: Well, if I was to make myself dinner it would probably have to be cheese on toast!
ZAC: I can't cook a thing!

TVH: You have quite a big family - who does the washing up at home?

TAYLOR: If I have to I do, but we all take turns helping out with the chore. That's the worst thing about having a large family - there's tons of dishes to clean and loads of clothes to wash!
ISAAC: I wash up - a little! But there's always things to do round the house. Like any other family, we all help each other out!

TVH: So you can use the washing machine?

TAYLOR: I have tried - it just isn't something I make a habit of!
ISAAC: I can do the easy things, but I've not had much experience of using the machine - mom usually takes care of that!

TVH: How about using the iron then?

TAYLOR: If you have anything to iron I suggest you keep it away from me - I'm not very good at it and end up burning everything.
ZAC: I can't remember trying to iron, but I don't think I'd be very good.

TVH: What are you like at babysitting your younger brothers and sisters?

TAYLOR: We've had to change plenty of diapers in the past, and I'm thankful I don't have to do it too often!
ISAAC: I've definitely changed a couple of hundred diapers in the past!
TAYLOR: When our little brothers and sisters are with us, we all help out. But when we travel together they tend to stay in places longer then catch up later, so we don't babysit that often.

TVH: What do you spend your money on?

TAYLOR: I buy anything music related, like a vintage guitar, or a keyboard - I'm not really a money person.
ISAAC: This year I bought a couple of guitar amps and I took them on tour - I was real pleased with them.

TVH: So, what's your favourite way of spending an evening in?

ISAAC: I'm definitely a movie lover - I'd probably watch a few movies, then play a game of basketball.
ZAC: I like to play on our Playstation - I'm a whizz at it!
ISAAC: Zac's definitely very good. We actually took it on tour with us so we got plenty of practice - our favourite game's Street Fighter.

TVH: Taylor, have you started taking driving lessons yet?

TAYLOR: No, but hopefully I will soon, I'd like to buy a car. A very fast car would be nice - something like a Porsche. But I don't want to worry every time I go round the corner that I'm going to crash - maybe I'll need to re-think that!

TVH: Isaac, do your parents still tell you what time to come home?

ISAAC: No, they're cool - they just like to know where I'm going and when I'm coming home. Besides, they only worry 'cos they care!

TVH: Do you have to go to bed at a certain time?

TAYLOR: No, but it does depend what we have to do in the morning. We're usually in bed by 12 o'clock, though.
ISAAC: If we have an early morning we like to get to bed by 10 o'clock to make sure we're wide awake the next day - we have to be sensible!

TVH: When were you last told off by your parents?

TAYLOR: Probably when I did something stupid! When was that? Erm, I can't remember - I'm not stupid that often!
ISAAC: Mine was pretty recently - mom and dad were a little bit angry, but I can't think why. It wasn't for anything really bad - but then again, I wouldn't tell you if it was that bad anyway!
ZAC: I haven't been told off for ages!

TVH: Will you be taking exams next year?

TAYLOR: Yeah, I'm sure we'll have more next year! It really depends on what our parents say, 'cos they teach us.

TVH: Have your neighbours ever complained about the noise coming from your garage?

ISAAC: No, they've been very good to us 'cos we're all very noisy! The only time they've complained is when loads of fans started turning up at our house.
ZAC: Between our house and the neighbours there's two acres of land, so even if we tried they wouldn't be able to hear us - unless they had supersonic hearing, of course!

TVH: OK, one last thing - do you still hang out with your friends?

TAYLOR: Yeah, most definitely. What? Even at the shopping malls? Yes, but obviously only when we've got time.
ZAC: I don't really like hanging out at the shopping malls anymore - I did that when I was younger!
