EXPLANATION: The show they were on is hosted by a bunch of silly comedians, but they don’t speak English, so a girl from the show was the on interviewing them, the guys pop here and there making silly comments... So ‘hostess’ is the girl, ‘presenter’ can be any of the guys and the fans are the people who were there/called.

*I missed the beginning... Someone was playing Wherever You Will Go in a creepy way, in some kind of cornet, and they asked Aaron and Alex to guess which song was it. They couldn’t at first, so they played it again and they got the joke and both laughed.*
Alex: A for the effort (? Not sure if that’s what he says
*The hostess introduces Aaron and Alex to the audience*
Aaron: Hello, hello.
Alex: Hello there..
Hostess: There was a promotion and some girls, some fans, are here, they’re gonna make the first question.
Alex: Oh, good, good!
*Both say hello to the fans*
Fan: Hello. (She says the question in Portuguese first) So, I’d like you to talk about Adrienne, cause not many people know that she’s actually your ex-girlfriend and I want to know like if every song is written about something that really happened to you.
Alex: All right. Well, she’s of her own translator, that was great. Yeah, there Adrienne, you know, me and Aaron wrote that about girlfriends we both had that sucked and that were never good and, yeah, all the songs are from life experiences.
Hostess: Is it true that during a concert someone threw at the stage a little doll that was written Adrienne?
Aaron: A blow-up doll.
Alex: It was actually a sex doll.
Aaron: A Sex doll. They wanted us to beat it up.
Hostess: Did you beat it up?
Aaron: Aah... no comment.
Alex: We did a lot of things to her (the presenters clap). But we didn’t have sex with her. I’m allergic to plastic. (laughs)
Hostess: How long have you been in Brazil and if something bad happened to you, like you’ve been mugged, if you’ve been robbed...
Alex: We’ve been mobbed, but not mugged. No, nothing, it’s been great, we’re just in Rio and it’s beautiful, and we got to look at the beach and look at Corcovado thing.
Hostess: And beautiful girls, uh?
Alex: Yeah, beautiful girls and uh... Well, we kinda... we run from the girls.
Presenter: Caipirinha you know, you drink caipirinha?
Aaron: Yes I have.
Presenter: It’s very good.
Alex: Yeah, that was not very good for me, *says something I cant understand*
Hostess: Why do you run from the girls?
Alex: They wanna say hi and at the same time like rip you hair out.
Hostess: Yeah, it happens, you know, because you’re cute and it happens.
Alex: Right. Yeah, but it’s kind of strange.
Hostess: Which of you speaks Italian?
Alex: Aaron.
*The presenters start saying silly stuff in/about Italian, and it becomes a whole big mess for a few seconds. The hostess says something in Italian*
Alex: Wow.
Aaron: What?
*Everyone laughs*
Aaron: Do you speak Italian?
Hostess: A little bit.
Aaron: You know *says something in Italian*?
Presenter (to Alex): You speak Italian?
Alex: Uh... no. Uh, we know horrible things...
Hostess: We can teach you some horrible things in Portuguese, like ‘tesão’. (Well, it’d be something like, when you feel ‘tesão’ you’re horny...lol!)
Aaron: Wait, wait, we can say them on the radio.
Hostess: OK. ‘Tesão’
Both: ‘Tesão’ (it’s sooo funny the way they say it!)
Hostess: ‘Gostosa’ (When you call a girl this, you’re saying she’s hot in a bit of a derogative way)
Both: ‘Gostosa’
Presenter: ‘Vagabound’s’ (this is kind of a slang... the actual word is ‘vagabunda’.)
Hostess: ‘Vagabound’ is like slut.
Alex: Oh, that was nice.
Aaron: We like that.
Hostess: ‘Puta’ is bitch.
Aaron: Yes.
Both: ‘Puta’ (they kinda keep saying it, sounding interested...)
*Mess again*
Presenter: You know ‘Connection’ in Brazil?
Both: No.
Alex: Oh, is it like prostitutes?
Hostess: It’s like Solid Gold in Miami.Aaron: And I feel bad, uh? *I think that’s what he says... not sure!*
Fan: So my question is about the song We’re Forgiven. I haven’t heard much songs that talk about redemption and the homeless people, so the first time I heard We’re Forgiven I found the lyrics completely incredible so, uh, of course the whole song is incredible, the music, the melody *the presenters start making fun of her cause she’s taking too long to ask the question and her English is not very good* is really beautiful, but the lyric was what really got my attention, so what I wanna know is what were you feeling when you decided to write the song, what was the message that you wanted to pass for your fans of course *the guys are still making fun, they start snoring* ...
Alex: You guys are mean!
Fan: ... and for people who listen to your songs you know, and, do you really feel like the song tells?
Aaron: Yeah
Alex: Yeah, definitely, you know, I mean, I’m sure you guys know it here, in this giant city, but growing up in Los Angeles, there’s, you know, there’s homeless people everywhere and there’s a lot of, you know, kind of nixed, you know, everybody. So I think you know, yeah, most people in LA just kinda pass them by and don’t consider, you know, what they’ve been through and take the time to understand and that kind of stuff, you know we’re just saying that we always, specially when we were writing this record for years and years in a row is like, you know, giving them alcohol, which we probably shouldn’t (laughs) but you know, like being nice in that way and like giving them a chance, and actually hearing their stories and stuff, you know...
Aaron: I think it’s good that you listen to it cause I know most people don’t and you want them to hear about it, specially music so I think that’s the problem for us and I know a lot of things about myself is that, I’d like to write about things like that more often, but I think more people don’t wanna hear about it, so...
Hostess: Speaking about your lyrics and your songs, is it true that in the beginning of your career you used to call the radios and ask your families to ask your song, to ask to play your songs?
Alex: Yeah, I think we uh, you know, the radio we grew up listening to in Los Angeles started playing it it was like, you know, a dream come true, we definitely, you know, all our families were calling in all the time, I’d call like in different voices *makes this hilarious high-pitched voice* ‘I’m requesting The Calling’...
Aaron: But the internet is good, cause on the internet you don’t have to deal with people recognizing you, you can just punch it six times and reload it. *Alex laughs*
*The character from the show ‘Mendigo’, that is a bum, comes on and asks the hostess to say stuff to them*
Hostess: First of all he’s saying that he likes you because you like Caipirinha and he likes the color of your jacket *Alex and the bum laugh* and since he’s the bum of our show he’s asking you to give him two dollars.
*Everyone laughs*
Alex: I don’t have any Reals (Brazilian currency), but I...
Hostess: No, he wants dollars.
*The bum keeps saying he wants dollars and everybody being silly about it. One of the presenters asks him if he knows how to sing TC’s song, and he starts singing it, sooo funny, coz he can’t speak English...lol Alex and Aaron laugh*
Alex: Wow.
Aaron: Geez, that’s scary, shit I... *the presenters start speaking, so I can’t hear what he says*
*A guy calls and asks them to ask if there’s any fag in the group and if they’re liking Mariana’s (the hostess) translation and if they want to take her on tour with them, and starts saying bad things about her... She gets mad and says she’s not gonna ask anything.*
Alex: Did he just ask you out on a date?
Hostess: He wants to know if you’re liking my translation and he wants to know if you wanna take me on tour with you.
Aaron: Yes. *the presenters clap*
Hostess: What do you enjoy listening to recently? What are your influences and what you enjoy listening to?
Aaron: Uh, I think a little bit of everything you know definitely, I think we both grew up listening to things that our parents were listening to, so that was more *can’t understand what he says* The Beatles and David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, James Taylor.
Alex: There’s not many bands right now that we’re, that are out right now, new bands that we like really, we like Coldplay *says something I can’t understand*
Hostess: Can you just play one minute of anything of The Beatles that you like, can you play it for us?
Aaron: Oh yeah.
*Aaron starts playing*
Alex: What’s that, Black Bird? *To the hostess* D’you know that song?
Hostess: Uhum.
*The presenters clap, though they don’t know which song is it, but they say they’ve gotta clap (in Portuguese of course!)... They later find out it’s Black Bird.*
*A fan calls and asks a question...*
Hostess: She wants to know what do you think of Brazilian women.
Aaron: I think we definitely need more experience with them, *Alex starts laughing* we haven’t been here long enough...
*The fan speaks...*
Hostess: She’s saying that she loves your CD.
Alex: *says something I can’t understand*
*Another fan calls...*
Hostess: He wants to know how the name The Calling came up for the name of the band and what does it mean.
Alex: Um, it’s kind of, you know, we’ve been playing music since we were little kids and always knew this was what we wanted to do, and kind of some weird circumstances brought us together, I mean, I met Aaron coz he was dating my sister and um, we were signed to BMG Records coz a guy moved next door to me, in Hollywood, and he lived next door...
Hostess: What guy?
Alex: Um, the guy worked for the record label, the one who signed us, we knocked on his door for months... Anyway, all these things came together and, you know, we thought bout it like felt like our calling to be playing music, you know, it was what we were put here to do.
*One of the presenters asks the hostess to ask a question...*
Hostess: Since he’s been in LA, he wants to know if there’s still the Sunset Street.
Aaron: It’s still there, it’s still there... *Alex keeps saying ‘yeah’ in the background* ... we need a passport though.
Hostess: It’s the best place in LA, he’s saying.
Alex: *can’t understand what he says...*
Hostess: Do you know what you were just responsible for?
Alex: No. [laughs]
Hostess: Ok, as I told you on the break, we’re online for everywhere in the world and we just beat a record, a Brazilian record online for the internet...
Aaron: Yeah, sexy!
Alex: Oh, wow, wow! *he doesn’t seem very excited though*
Hostess: *talks in Portuguese* I’m saying that you’re filming us.
Aaron: Yeah, is that ok?
Alex: No one’s gonna believe this [laughs] *seems like he’s talking to Aaron*
Aaron: Yeah.
Alex: We need to get some of this guy.
*Another presenter asks a question*
Hostess: Alex, is it true that after you grew up you were still, like, you know, taking milk from your mom?
*Everybody laughs*
Alex: No, I get the question, yeah yeah... No, no!!! *laughs* Where did you hear that one?
Hostess: It’s on your website, on your diary...
Aaron: Oh, it’s bullshit
Alex: On my diary? No, I don’t think so... Maybe like, you know, different mothers every day...
Hostess: So do you still date his sister?
Aaron: No, no, it’s over, we’re just friends.
Alex: *makes a really funny voice* She dumped him!
Aaron: No she didn’t, he’s kidding me...
*Another question from one of the presenters... He’s asking if it’s true that he plays a vet in his free time and that he cut his cat’s leg... There’s an specific verb for that in Portuguese, ‘amPUTAr’, so when the presenter asks the question in Portuguese he remembers the dirty word they taught him...lol!*
Alex: Puta? Have Sex with cats?
Hostess: No, is it true that on your free time you’re like a vet, that you operate little cats, like you cut their leg off?
Alex: You know, I do have a cat with three legs but that wasn’t my fault... [everybody laughs] A dog ate his leg off. A sick fan gave me a stuffed animal version of my cat, and then she cut one of the legs off, of the stuffed animal.
Aaron: Do you have girls coming here with bikinis, and stuff like that?
Alex: No, it doesn’t happen...
Hostess: In the studio?
Aaron: Yeah.
Hostess: Often! *the presenters start saying silly stuff about the hostess...* He’s asking if you want me to take my clothes off?
Aaron: No. [everybody’s laughing]
Alex: He’s girlfriend’s listening, she’s here... But it’s just radio...
Aaron: Well, you could do it in Portuguese and no one would know... [Alex laughs]
*They ask the hostess if they were kidding about it, she kinda says no and everything becomes a mess... A fan calls*
Hostess: Which woman do you think is a Sex symbol?
Aaron: In general?
Hostess: In general.
Alex: Madonna’s always been one...
Hostess: And you Aaron? *the presenters start talking about Cicciolina, an Italian porn star, asking if Aaron knows her*
Aaron: No, but it sounds good.
Hostess: Is it true that the first band you put together, called Generation Gap, had, the bass player was 40 years old and the drum player was 58?
Alex and Aaron: Yes.
Alex: And I was 15...
Aaron: And I was drinking milk from them.
Hostess: Do you have any plans to come back here for more concerts?
Alex: I hope so.
Aaron: Yeah, God I mean, it sucks to just be here for a few days...
Alex: This is our first time, so it’s pretty crazy for a first time.
Hostess: It’s always quick you know...

*Another question from the presenters...*
Hostess: Is it true that you were naked on the airplane?
Alex: When I was a little boy, yeah. I was going to Italy and I spilled milk all over myself, and my mom made me take all my clothes off and hang them on the window. And like, I just had a blanket over me, and the stewardess came coz we were landing and I was sleeping, so she pulled the blanket off to make sure my seat belt was on... It was very embarrassing.
Hostess: So, was she shocked?

Alex: I can’t sing without gum. And I’ve only choked once in two years.
Hostess: Nice, even in big concerts, like...
Alex: Yeah.
Hostess: Nice.
Alex: Yeah, it helps. When you sing like everyday, a million times a day and you’re flying too your throat gets really... If you can do it, it keeps your throat like...
Hostess: An apple too will keep your throat, an apple before and an after.
Alex: Who told you that?
Hostess: Every singing teacher.
Alex: Really?
