Speaker 1 (00:00):
With Mario Lopez. It's up al Mario Lopez joining me
right now. Kendall, James Carlos and Logan from the band
Big Time Rush. How are you, gentlemen? Okay, stall for
one second on the bus right now? That's okay. Hi
guys doing right, just driving from El Paso to l

(00:22):
A and a little reception. But we're near all the
El Paso to l A is that's far, that's far.
How do you spend your time on the bus? There
are you guys playing cards, video games, crashing out? What
are you doing? We gotta sleep, you know. We drive overnight,
so you try and get a good you know, eight
hours that is sleeping and then uh, Kendall brought a

(00:44):
nice pot machine, so will wake up. These are barista
and have some some nice lattes. Sometimes plays for radio games,
munching movies, but also just like to hang out and chat.
Nice way to go, Kendall with the with the barista
skills there. Let you know. If this whole music thing
doesn't work out, you know I'll be fine. Always good
to have a backup plan. I'm with you on that. Um. Well,

(01:06):
you're currently out on the Forever tour right now. About
a month and left. How have the show has been
going so far? It's incredible. I mean it's funny. It
feels like we just took off and now that we're
pulling back in l A. It's it's it's a strange thing.
This time doesn't really exist on the road, but the
shows have been so special and I think, honestly, this
is one of our best tours yet. How was it

(01:27):
playing Madison Square Garden. It's incredible, It's amazing. It's one
thing to get the opportunity and then it's another thing
to show up and see sold out. Uh. The fact
that pretty much every show and every city we've stopped
in has has been sold out. I mean, we just
didn't know what you expect when we came back and
put this thing off road. But it's it's incredible, and

(01:49):
msg is certainly the highlight of the sewer for sure.
That's that's next level right there. Guys, that's definitely a
big time rush right there. And I'm a dad. I
have to throw a dad joke out there. That's when
it was appropriate. Um, I heard I heard Rick Astley
joined you guys on stage. You performed Never Gonna Get Philadelphia.

(02:10):
It was. It was actually um lucky that they were
in town on their tour with New Kids with the
day off and we actually have a fit with Rick
Astley in the set and Jared, our manager, was like,
I think we can get him out during Philly and
he came out. He's so cool, he's so humble. It's
super cool legend and the proud win wild for him.

(02:33):
Oh yeah, and uh, I meanefully put down on the
bucket list for sure. That Yeah, that's fun moment right there.
And I like that you guys like to play covers live.
Is that something fans can expect? Who do you usually
like to to cover? Oh? Yeah, well, our acoustic session,
it's like middle way through the show. We actually have
changed it up quite a bit. You know. Sometimes we'll

(02:54):
play about Street Boys song. Sometimes we played just in terms.
Sometimes it's the weekend. So I think that's one thing
that our fans who have come to multiple shows really enjoys.
And it's never quite the same. We could say, we
say we've got really good at waking nights. That's cool.
It's a little harry sometimes, but we get through it.
I know you guys released a couple of new songs.

(03:15):
Can we possibly expect a new album. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
we're working on it. Look man, we are just chipping
away at so many different songs and we have a
new one, dot Ya coming out, which is our first
English record, which we've been wanting to do. That's we
got in the beginning of the band. You know, it's
like our our biggest fan base are you know is

(03:37):
is Mexico and Latin America. We just thought, you know what,
Steve been asking for this for a long time. Carlos
had the idea to work Mafio, so uh, we got
together and came up with some great stuff. We got
new music, new album, new Spanglish EP, new regularly sasis,
we made the store, the Forever team that we're busy
a long time and gentlemen, moy Vi and I'm there.

(03:58):
And then in uh September, you guys are performing at
the Daytime stage for a big iHeart Radio music festival
in Vegas. Um. Those are always a lot of fun.
You have anything special plan yet for the Daytimes show? Well,
we're just super excited. We're actually putting together the set.
We're gonna take different chunks from the Forever tour and
condensed it because it's a it's not a two hour set,
it's about a half hour set. But it's just so

(04:20):
great because you know, Loe and I both have places
out in Vegas, so it really is going to be
like a homecoming, especially after three months on the road.
We're gonna play the show and then probably have a
cool party in my house. We're learning a great company.
Meet Avril Levine is gonna be on the daytime stage
and five Sauce and Gale and so yeah, we're very excited.
The apartment, well, we'll be there as well. Look forward
to seeing you guys and good luck on the rest
