“Are they gonna like us, are they gonna remember us” I can’t even believe they had that doubt 😭 and they way he talks about their appreciation for their fans ❤

[@hurrdatmedia_]

We thought the same thing when Chris said that! Thanks for watching 🤍

[@Nazaba09]

It reminds me of in ‘Selena’ when she says ‘are they gonna love me mama?’. I just burst into tears.

[@BiancaC20]

Omg when he said that, I teared up, you guys are huge still ❤your fans are always here and ready to embrace whatever you guys do ❤

[@junng7]

I just introduced my kids who NSYNC is and they have good memories. Now they keep asking for the ‘Bye bye’ song. 😂

[@jahipalmer8782]

I literally just screamed "YES!!" at my computer.

[@heidiestep9702]

I think Chris hit the nail on the head. Their getting together in 2013 was well received but the overwhelming response in 2023 came from a place where people just need something positive in the midst of the more negative vibe of our current climate.

[@christophergarcia225]

With everything going on in the world today NSYNC is necessary. The sound you 5 produce is timeless and needed right now more than ever. Don’t ever forget how much joy and peace you bring to this sometimes dark and chaotic world. Please 🙏 keep singing and keep the 5 part harmony going. We love you guys.

[@christakarmas1447]

Yes yes yes 🙌 couldn’t have said it better ❤ we need this so much.

[@cindylounsbury4102]

Absolutely the world needs them now

[@princessrella]

I was at a 98 Degrees concert this weekend and while we waited for the show to start and “Tearin’ Up My Heart” played and everyone stopped what they were doing to sing along. I looked around and smiled as I realized that all of my fellow ‘NSync Stans were still with me after all of these years. It warmed my heart.

[@11451254]

I would’ve went crazy if they came out!!!!!!!!

[@princessrella]

@@11451254 Right?! That would have created chaos. 😂

[@jesusislord9353]

Chris is so humble, he deserves all of the love and appreciation from everyone. Nsync is the best without all 5 members there is no NSYNC

[@dorogy4586]

Chris is absolutely my favorite for those reason and for so many more. He's such a great amazing guy. He's my hero ❤️

[@magicheats8291]

Thats one thing I love about him he is so humble and keeps it real and I'm BSB fan. Happy for the Nsync boys and their fans

[@CutieInScrubsAndMessyBun]

I am of course, a JT and Joey ❤. CHRIS is looking 😍😍😍😍

[@bruhlips4498]

The crazy thing is im 19, and these guys are my favorite artists ever, they've GAINED fans through the years compared to the huge amount they already had. I'm excited to hope for more stuff from them.

[@lesliesanchez8261]

I'm 35 and I love that younger people appreciate them

[@Emeraldeyes1113]

I'm 38 and i love seeing new fans. It shows that their music is timeless.

[@ericam105]

For us OG *NSYNC fans, our love for the guys never left! I feel if they do decide to tour in the future, they should do it alone. After all these years they deserve their very own tour! (no disrespect to the others mentioned) However, it’s just a great feeling seeing them all together again, no matter what they do. So let’s just enjoy it, support it, be grateful for what we got so far and hopefully there will be more great things in *NSYNC’s future! ❤

[@gucciraccoons1637]

I agree. They do not need to co-headline!

[@cocostrawbana6911]

This right here, Perfectly stated‼️😎❤️

[@akinalatoya]

❤❤agreed

[@Emeraldeyes1113]

He said "It's Taylor Swift"...HELLO,you're Chris Kirkpatrick from *Nsync!!! I love how humble he is.🥰🥰

[@karimarie6506]

Chris!!! What?! We’ve never left you guys. We’ve always been here, hoping and waiting (and begging) for you to come back. We’ve never stopped adoring *NSYNC. Please keep making more music. 🥺🙏

[@helgageraldine513]

This is pretty nostalgic because Brian used to be an MTV VJ during NSYNC's peak and he used to interview them. And I love Chris, always funny and humble.

[@Cgjm129]

He’s so humble. He doesn’t realize that he’s Chris Kirkpatrick from *NSYNC. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@amazinlynn3358]

The fact that they had doubt if we still loved them! They were asked over 100 billion times over the years if there was gonna be a reunion or not. Of course we wanted you back!

[@vanessamunguia5233]

Umm Chris I’ve been *NSYNC obsessed since I was 11 I’m 37 now and I buy whatever y’all release, every launch drop, vinyls, I bought from todays launch, I listen to every podcast Lance has had and now yours. Please go on tour and release more music 💕

[@hollysteckowski8467]

I'm 35 and been obsessed since I was around 10 or 11. Had the *NSYNC dolls, I think they're at my step dad's house still

[@wegotit2587]

Now is the time to give JC the due credit he deserves! If Hollywood can make things right with Brendan Fraser, so can the music industry!

[@nikig2382]

He _does_ get the credit he deserves. Every *NSYNC music video is flooded with comments about how talented he is, going back several years. I don’t see what the industry itself owes him since it was just his label who slighted him…and he chose to give up a solo career anyway.

[@wegotit2587]

@@nikig2382 Fans give credit absolutely, but not where it should count too, which is the industry that he dedicated years of his life to, going all the way back to 1992! Heck there are even vocal guest appearances JC has made where he STILL never got credited properly for (like with Blaque for “Bring It All To Me”) and in that industry all if that matters, especially to get monetarily compensated properly. It also doesn’t help that Justin helps spearhead things for allowing other people in the industry to blacklist JC from mainstream or talk down on Nsync, totally trying to gaslight people’s memories into HIS made-up versions on how things really went down…like claiming how only HE was the one that cared about the group and taking the “music seriously,” which is utter bullshit because EVERY Nsync Fan knows nobody put in as much time dedicated to Nsync as JC!

[@antifamanutd]

@@nikig2382PREACH!!! I adore JC and it’s unfortunate his solo career floundered but i honestly don’t think the industry owes him anything. It’s just Jive that fucked him over, plus he chose to abandon his solo career. If he’d made a serious attempt to revive his solo career but still wasn’t successful then i’d say the industry failed him. All this making him out to be some poor helpless victim is getting tiresome and isn’t helping his credibility one bit.

[@MithunOnTheNet]

"Are they gonna like us, are they gonna remember us” 'Better Place' is still #1 on iTunes USA. More than 48 hours since release. There's your answer. Now give us a Max Martin/Rami Yacoub produced new album and a tour.

[@Kayteeshashore]

We COULD NEVER forget *NSYNC! I listen to your music all the time. Every Christmas I listen to the Christmas album while we decorate our Christmas tree. It is tradition. My daughter loves you guys now because of me she’s 8. I have been a fan since 13 and I’m 36 now. I will die a *NSYNC fan. 🎉❤

[@mlbchanged1]

Yes! It's a Christmas staple for me and my sisters.

[@Kayteeshashore]

Yes!!! It’s truly the best. I couldn’t imagine a Christmas without it. I have been listening since I was a teenager. Drove my brother and dad crazy every Christmas lmao 🤣 ❤🎉

[@laurafraley2217]

“Are they going to remember us?” We would NEVER forget 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

[@npjm.99]

The way he dodged that question tho 😂❤

[@steelersjess]

I was lucky enough to meet Chris a few times back when *NSYNC was at their height and he was so cool and down to earth. We love the founder of *NSYNC. ❤

[@hollysteckowski8467]

That's amazing!!!! I'm hoping for a tour with a concert in Hershey! I saw them in Hershey in 2000! When I see my uncle this weekend I'm going to bug him about the tour roster as he works at Hershey Entertainment! I also follow bands in this town that has upcoming tours.

[@d.p.5319]

You're right, the world does need something right now and it's an NSYNC tour/residency!!

[@redbaby814]

I was on a nostalgia high with the new *NSYNC song. As I'm playing the songs I'm singing like I sang them everyday of my life. But everytime I watch "Pop", I can't help seeing Wade in Joey's spot... It can't be unseen!

[@ghsthunter5]

I busted out laughing multiple times. "who do you not want on tour?" *Answer* and I screamed. Chris I want to say a massive thank you for all the work you have done. "My Shiny Teeth and Me" is still a total bop! Thank you for being the music of my heart!!!

[@lobendinonicole]

We need all 5 of you in this podcast. Our millenial hearts needs it ❤

[@ceeross422]

Loved this podcast. Can’t wait for more from you guys! Chris, we never could forget you *NSYNC guys.

[@eimyA0419]

I met Chris when he went on tour with LFO and Otown in April. He was doing his vocal warmups before going on stage and took the time to say hi and take a picture with me..he was so nice. I loved NSYNC since I was 13 and to meet him was more than a dream come true lol. I tried to stay calm on the outside but I was shaking afterward and can't believe I had that reaction 😂😂😂.

[@That_Crazy_Cat_Lady]

I remember the first time I met Chris face to face. He was so kind and was totally cool with people fangirling over someone, whether it was him or someone else. I'm glad I had the opportunity to get to know how him a little bit more. It's been a couple years since I've seen him last but I'm happy he is doing what he loves.

[@erinworthington8628]

When you’re a teen or your 20’s as a fan of *NSYNC, you’re a screaming girl and get all excited to see them on TRL and want to hear them talk about their favorite color or who they’re dating, etc and have your fav member of the band. But when you become an adult, and you get married and you have kids, these are the types of genuine interviews that you want to hear, especially now with everything going on in the world. Because gone are the days when you’re that teeny bopper, but you still love the band, the music, and ALL the guys. You’re in the same stage of life as they are, having all those adult responsibilities such as kids and paying a mortgage. So these types of interviews are really appreciated! Thank you Brian and Chris ❤❤

[@hollysteckowski8467]

Well said! I been wearing out my hubby with all the *NSYNC making sure I'll still remember all the dance moves so I am prepared for a tour!

[@arlananacnac4199]

Literally THEE MOST iconic performances was the tv set performance for the VMAs!! Think about it all the time in the last 20 years and still has the same impact watching it on KZbin now. Love it all over again! BRING IT TO THE TOUR!!!!!!!!!

[@lyannastark628]

Seeing how much the fans reaction mean to them just further validates my love for them since around 1996. Remember the first time I heard I want you back on the car radio. I ran into the house and turned the radio on in there so I could catch their name and managed to catch in time. Then they came to play a show hosted by my favorite radio station and that was it for me.

[@chewychewy9751]

im screaming in my room when i heard the news NSYNC reunion..like HELL NOOOOO!!! THE BIGGEST BOYBAND OF ALL TIME IS BACCK!! and now i keep replaying all of NSYNC songs. bye bye bye,its gonna be may,POP all of thee songs even their Ntimate xmas concert LOL

[@leah492]

This podcast made me laugh out loud quite a few times. Chris is so funny. The first *NSYNC album was the first album I ever bought (on tape!) and NSA was the first album I bought on CD. *NSYNC was a big part of my youth and as a fan I want to continue to support them in whatever they do. This year has personally been tough for me and hearing the new music allows me to escape for a little bit and feel like a kid again. Thank you Chris, Joey, Justin, Lance, and JC for sharing your gifts with all of us and we are here to support you in whatever is next 💕🚀

[@mhogan40]

I love Chris and the whole group so much! They are such genuinely sweet and good people.

[@hurrdatmedia_]

You can feel the genuine vibe through the screen(s)!

[@hollysteckowski8467]

Chris is definitely the sweet and humble member! I love how he he said "will they remember us" of course we will! We may be stepping into the CRS part of our lives but some people are unforgettable

[@gucciraccoons1637]

I was 5 years old when No Strings Attached was released and I wore that cd out. I’ve always had their music saved, and got hyped for every pop up, but I’m now 28 and I will go in debt to be front row at a solo headlining *NSYNC tour. But I wanna see all the guys get equal solo time and hype, and I better hear Shiny Teeth and Me! It’s been stuck in my head for weeks!!

[@ashoemaker.dreamvacations]

Yes..yes the World needs you guys to tour, that is what we need. ❤😊

[@mlbchanged1]

Chris has always had a dry sense of humor that is so hilarious. Your fans are still fans. Just know that. My sisters and I play your Christmas album EVERY Christmas. It's a tradition. And we've introduced it to our families. The way y'all knew your strengths and played to them made even your acapella abilities off the charts. Those of us who are true fans still love and respect y'all and we'd really appreciate a new album❤❤❤ with eventually a tour (speaking hopefully as a 39 year old).

[@3x157]

They are one of the biggest boy bands in the world. Obviously, people are going to remember them.

[@femmebrulee5053]

[@jacq5750]

The swifters dont have a space here. NSYNC is king in the pop world!

[@StuartdeOcampo]

If the same Swift ease to purchase music had also existed for *NSYNC’s initial releases, especially for No Strings Attached in 2000, I think that they would have set _unsurpassable_ records. That’s the magic of the Internet lately. 🤔

[@nsyncfanap]

Are they gonna love us😂? Seriosly?! Chris we always love you and *NSYNC and always will❤🙏. My favorite member since day one was Chris. The reason his personality is very special. Calm and energetic and his sense of humor is very special. He is very perceptive and outgoing and he is able to connect with people on a deep level.Chris is known for his ability to see possibilities and envision new ideas, and tend to be adaptable and flexible. When I listen him speaking I remember the rock music that I like. I listen his solo stuff with Nigel's11 and am a fan of that music. Crazy girl and Who am I are my favorites. So remember at anytime we will love you like the first day❤. This I promise you.

[@kristinanobile7403]

Omg loved this! Believe me Chris we never forgot about you guys! Some moments had me literally “lol”-ing 😂 Can’t wait to see more from you guys!

I enjoyed your Podcast. I love NSYNC. Thank you, Chris, for having the brilliant idea to form the band and the tenacity, drive, talent and heart to bring your idea to life. You all have brightened up my world. Chris, I met you at a Challenge For The Children event in Florida. You were very kind and funny. It's great when a person meets their hero, the hero turns out to be even better than imagined. I will always remember it.

[@IsyMaxine]

14:46 we were about to hear Chris say if they were back and he got cut off and then again around 16:08 :/ he kept getting cut off rather than being able to answer some of the questions. Howard Stern does the same thing. Larry King used to sit back and let his guests actually say complete sentences. :/ This was a bit cringe to watch aside from when Chris could actually talk. On a side note, I suspect that their reunion was so that Justin can promote the new Trolls movie through music because he can't promote it as an actor due to the actor's strike.

[@ashleythoma7339]

Yes, the world needs you asap!!! ❤❤
