Guys! It's FINALLY HERE!!!!AJ McLean from Backstreet Boys has released his solo album "my name is Alexander James" on January 9, 2026The album is awesome and we do a track by track review, which starts around the 56 minute mark. LOL. As you should know by now, we definitely go off track and get distracted. The beginning of the episode is an update on what's been happening the last few weeks, a timeline of the various other attempts for an AJ album and other singles released, and a brief Heated Rivalry chat.AJ/Alex - we are so proud of you! This album is great and totally worth the wait. The songs are catchy and have been stuck in our heads.What are your fave songs off the album?

Happy New Year! In today's episode, we chat about the Backstreet Boys Sphere residency starting up and the German shows. Also, as is tradition, we do a recap of what we did this past year. Which is always fun because we tend to forget what we did. LOL. Highlights included were some new Boy Band albums released, as well as the trip we took to see Nick Carter in Chicago. :) What were your fave memories of 2025? What shows are you looking forward to in 2026? P.s. - So sorry for the delay guys. It's been a crazy few weeks. Lydia's beloved cat Kagami passed away. Cinzia's co-worker Neno passed away suddenly. Cinzia and Lydia's dad got into a car accident last weekend in Pittsburgh, on his way to Florida. (He's doing well, but his spine is fractured and the car was totalled. He's still able to walk and has to wear a brace for 3 months).

Sorry for the delay everyone! Here's our Christmas episode. We chatted about Boy Band Christmas songs, "A Very Jonas Brothers Christmas" movie, Sofia's Christmas activities, Joey Fatone joining "& Juliet" on tour in Florida, Cinzia going to the Nick Jonas Sunday Best Brunch in Toronto and the Jo Bro shows in Hamilton, and some inspirational quotes from Sofia.

Sorry for the delay in posting this! We recorded this back in November before Cinzia went to England to see 5ive and we forgot to post it. This probably has more of out date updates but all good. LOL Sofia and Cinzia chatted about some things like: A Very Jonas Christmas movie (and soundtrack) coming out Nick Jonas Brunch announcement Backstreet Boys A Very Backstreet Christmas re-release Nick Carter doing The Grove Christmas Tree Lighting AJ McLean releasing an album Cinzia going to England to see FiveCheck out our future episodes in which we will discuss these things after they happened. LOL

Here's some Boy Band updates that we recorded a few weeks ago. Including the BSB x Taylor Swift mash up, AJ on the Jennifer Hudson show, Jonas Brothers at the World Series, O-Town releasing Making the Band on YouTube and more! Also, as per usual when we make one of these, new info comes out afterwards, so we'll probably make another one soon. p.s. - We mention Nick Carter going to Rhode Island Comic Con but he cancelled that and didn't go.

Sofia and Cinzia headed to the Chicago area the weekend of Canadian Thanksgiving (October 11-12, 2025) to see Nick Carter! We saw his concerts in Des Plaines and St. Charles and went to the St. Charles Soundcheck party. Ran into some old friends and had an awesome weekend! This was one of our fave Nick tours. Hope he adds more dates!
