Toby: JC Chasez! Y’all clap for Mr. Chasez.

JC: Yo. What’s up, man?

Toby: How much money did you make today, by the way, just by being you?

JC: [Laughs]

Toby: Like, literally, do you get up in the morning and you realize that all that money you made from that other band you used to be in like, it just keeps, like, pilin’ up for you?

JC: Uh, no, I don’t think about that kind of stuff.

Follow up:

Toby: “Oh, I just made another five thousand!”

JC: No, geez. [Laughs]

Toby: “Ten thousand!” Somebody used it somewhere in the world, you got royalties. “Fifteen thousand!”

JC: There you go.

Toby: So you, like, make money every minute, don’t you?

JC: Uh, I don’t know, man. Like I said, I don’t think about that stuff too much.

Toby: You ever bounce checks?

JC: [Laughs] I don’t think I’ve bounced a check, no.

Toby: Really?

JC: No, no.

Toby: Well, I mean like you know, after the whole blow-up with the old band and everything you’ve been doing, and you’re whispering at ghosts and stuff and hangin’ out with what’s her name on that TV show that you were on…

JC: Yeah, yeah, yeah…

Toby: I mean, you’ve got…you’ve gotta be making bank. On average, would you say that you make well north of ten million a year?

JC: No, man. No, no, no.

Toby: Do you make more than Justin?

JC: No, of course not, no.

Toby: So that’s why…

JC: He’s touring right now. I gotta get a tour first. [Laughs]

Toby: [Laughs and claps] So you’re makin’ between one and five million a year?

JC: I don’t talk about my finances, man!

Toby: So that’s what…

JC: No, man, I don’t talk about my finances.

Toby: Popdirt: “JC Chasez makes…”

JC: Oh, here we go.

Toby: “… between one and five million dollars a year.”

JC: He’s gonna start a rumor already!

Toby: “And he makes twenty-five thousand dollars a minute, just from being awake, ’cause of the old band.” So anyway, welcome back to DC.

JC: Thank you very much.

Toby: Welcome home, by the way.

JC: Thank you.

Toby: Say hi to everybody, the family at home.

JC: I know, my phone’s been ringin’ off the hook today.

Toby: “Where you at? Where you gonna be?”

JC: I know. “Where you gonna be? Where you gonna be?” They know – everybody knows where I’m goin’ tonight, so it’s like oh, now everybody wants special privileges…

Toby: So when the label comes to you and says, “Listen, Hot 99.5 wants you to co-host with Kane this Little Black Dress Party, did they have to twist your arm?

JC: No, not at all. I’m happy to do it.

Toby: Well, I mean, considering you’re making twenty-five thousand dollars a minute…

JC: No, man, it’s not about that! It’s about music!

Toby: Just by being alive…

JC: We’re here to talk about music and do music and I want everybody to hear the music. So how do you hear – how do they hear the music? You go give it to’ em.

Toby: Well, let’s talk about the music…

JC: That’s why I come to the radio station, dawg.

Toby: First things first, though. Can I lift up your shirt? ‘Cause I wanna look at your abs.

JC: No, man!

Toby: Are your abs firm?

JC: No! It’s just past Thanksgiving. No. [Laughs]

Toby: My abs are firm somewhere under there, but yours…are those Diesel jeans you’re wearing?

JC: No, these are not Diesel jeans. They’re some other – I don’t even know what they are.

Toby: Really?

JC: No.

Toby: Man, you are a sexy…

JC: They are Diesel, actually. Wow, good call, man.

Toby: Can you turn around real quick?

JC: No, I can’t.

[Audience laughs]

Toby: Come on, man.

JC: No.

Toby: Just let me look at your bum.

JC: No!

Toby: Your butt looks great in those jeans, though!

JC: Not gonna happen!

Toby: All right, so listen, you worked with this guy, a big producer. His name’s Justin Timberlake.

JC: Mm hm.

Toby: He had somethin’ to do with your new song and stuff…

JC: Mm hm.

Toby: “Until Yesterday.” What was it like working with Justin? ‘Cause you’ve never done that before.

JC: Yeah, never. Uh, you know what, it was great, though.

Toby: Was he a jackass in the studio?

JC: Not at all, man. The guy’s…

Toby: Did he yell at you?

JC: He’s a professional, man.

Toby: Was he like, “Sing it like this.”?

JC: Not at all, not at all. Um, it was fun, man. The guy – he’s, uh, he’s grown up, you know. And uh, he’s a very, very talented individual. And that fact that…it was fun to get back in the studio because after, you know, we’ve been kinda touring for ten years together…

Toby: Sure.

JC: To take a couple years off and come back with a new perspective on things…

Toby: Right.

JC: …each of us, uh, it made it a lot of fun again, you know. It was fun again to be in the studio, because we had different ideas and new point of views.

Toby: I call what you and him have done on your, uh, his entire CD and your song – I call it, like, progressive pop.

JC: Yeah, it is.

Toby: Because it’s really like a reinvention of what people would consider to be the pop sound.

JC: Yeah, hey, I consider what he did is like, progressive pop, and I consider what I did is like, an intelligent pop record.

Toby: So when you and Justin were working together during those ten years, and back in the studio, did you guys at any time ever…spoon?

JC: No.

Toby: Never?

JC: Never.

Toby: Did he ever try to, like, grab you?

JC: No.

Toby: Touch your bum?

JC: No.

Toby: Anything like that?

JC: No sir.

Toby: All right, I’m just wondering. Did you ever play doctor as a kid?

JC: No.

Toby: Okay. Hmm. What kind of, uh, underwear are you wearing right now?

JC: What are you – you’re asking weird questions, man!

Toby: What brand of drawers…

JC: Ask me about music!

Toby: What brand of…

JC: Let’s talk about music!

Toby: Like, do you wear tighter drawers when you need to sing, like, in a falsetto?

JC: No, I don’t!

Toby: Can you bust out a falsetto kind of a thing now?

JC: Actually, no, ’cause I’ve been flying all day.

Toby: Oh yeah, I wouldn’t want you to do it. It would hurt you. Besides if your underwear’s too tight, sometimes that just really gets uncomfortable.

JC: Just nuts.

Toby: So you’re wearing nothing underneath right now?

JC: I’m wearing drawers, but I’m not talking – let’s not talk about them right now. Let’s talk about music!

Toby: So you’re commando.

JC: No.

Toby: All right, well, let’s see. Let’s talk about “Until Yesterday” before we play it here. Who was the skank that inspired this song?

JC: Uh…[Laughs]

Toby: Was it Eva Longoria?

JC: No!

Toby: It was Eva Longoria, wasn’t it?

JC: It was absolutely not, no.

Toby: Last time I met you, that whole Eva Longoria thing was all in those, those magazines…

JC: Yeah, yeah.

Toby: US Weekly and all these websites, and…

JC: No, she’s…man, she’s about to do something wonderful in her life, and that’s get married, so I’m very happy for her.

Toby: Let’s all clap for… [Clapping]

JC: I’m very very happy for her.

Toby: So it was Tara Reid, then.

JC: No, it wasn’t Tara Reid.

Toby: So Tara Reid inspired “Until Yesterday.”

JC: No. She ain’t got no babies, man!

Toby: [Laughs] Hmm. So you wrote this for Justin, then.

JC: No! I did not!

Toby: You wrote this all about Britney.

JC: No, I did not.

Toby: You never made out with Britney?

JC: No, absolutely not, no.

Toby: Now, when you wrote “Until Yesterday” for Tara Reid, did you write this like, the morning…

JC: [Laughs] Oh, God. [Aside] You hear this?

Toby: No, because…

JC: You hear this guy? Really? [Laughs]

Toby: No, because after you made out with Tara Reid the first time, did you not go to the LA County free clinic to get checked out?

JC: Man, you are outta control.

Toby: But let’s play “Until Yesterday.” But first, tell me – what inspired the song?

JC: You know what, I didn’t…

Toby: Who was she?

JC: I didn’t wanna make a typical record. I’ve heard breakup songs over and over and over, and I wanted to tell a story that was a little bit more fun and uh…than the normal. Again, with this record, I wanted to push the limits and make a smart record, you know. Anybody can make a song, “Oh, I hate you, you did me wrong.”

Toby: Right.

JC: But it’s another thing to point out a situation to grab people’s attention and heighten the stakes of the entire thing.

Toby: So after he broke up with Paris Hilton…

JC: [Laughs] Gosh.

Toby: He went home and he wrote. JC Chasez, the song: “Until Yesterday.” I call this very progressive, it’s an awesome new song. Check it out now. Hot 99.5, call if you’ve got questions for JC, he’ll be at the party later.

[Until Yesterday plays]

Toby: …Ghost Whisperer, he penned the song for Jennifer Love Hewitt, JC Chasez on 99.5.

JC: [Laughs]

Toby: What? So, Jennifer Love Hewitt, you never really came out about that relationship.

JC: There was no relationship, man. But she’s a great girl, though, I have to say.

Toby: Was it just a couple of evenings of, of uninhibited grown-up bliss, if you will?

JC: No, it was two days of working on a set with a bunch of people watching you and staring at you and going, “You need to do this, that and the other, and we need to do the take again because you messed up your line.”

Toby: [Laughs] And did…but afterwards, back in her trailer it was the consoling time.

JC: No man, she’s got a guy on her – she’s got a guy, man.

Toby: When has that ever stopped you before?

JC: Hey, man, I’m not a homewrecker.

Toby: [Laughs]

JC: I’m not a homewrecker.

Toby: That’s that Tony Parker dude.

JC: No…hey! Not at all! No, man, come on.

Toby: So the new CD…by the way, JC Chasez, co-hosting tonight with Kane, the Little Black Dress Party. Details hot995.com. You’ve got time. Flatiron the hair, apply the MAC foundation, it brings out your glow better than Bobbi Brown does.

JC: [Laughs]

Toby: New CD out after the first of the year. You gotta be pretty hyped about it.

JC: I am, I’m really excited about it. Again, I’m excited to bring, you know, melodies and great stories back to radio.

Toby: So would you describe the new CD as like a kamikaze shot at the bar, or a fine glass of Cabernet, or is it just straight Bacardi 151?

JC: [Laughs] I don’t know, it’s definitely not a glass of wine.

Toby: [Laughs]

JC: Um, you know, it’s a…again, it’s got a lot of texture but yet it’s elegant in taste. Uh, I don’t know, it’s tough to say.

Toby: So it’s kinda like that stuff Justin encouraged you to try while you guys were in the studio, of the Timbaland variety, if you know what I mean. [Makes a sound like he’s inhaling deeply, then coughs]

JC: Wow.

Toby: Sorry.

JC: No, I don’t know, maybe…well, what I say it’s maybe a…I don’t…can I say it on the air?

Toby: [Continues to cough]

JC: No, it’s not that.

Toby: Call it a hookah.

JC: No, fair enough.

Toby: So it’s tasty like the hookah.

JC: No, it’s…

Toby: JC Chasez says his new album is tasty like the hookah. The song is inspired by Eva Longoria and Jennifer Love Hewitt…

JC: [Laughs] You love putting words in my mouth! I haven’t said anything!

Toby: So going into the Little Black Dress Party tonight, JC, thinkin’ about your life, would you say you’re a more committed person now than you were back in the days of the other band?

JC: I’m a single guy right now, man, so…

Toby: Really?

JC: So it’s good. It’s good to be me right now.

Toby: So tonight might be an interesting night for a very sexy lady pulling a Britney Spears in a little black dress.

JC: Uh…[Laughs] I don’t know, man.

Toby: Are you saying you’d rule it out? Yes or no.

JC: What would I rule out? I don’t know what you’re talking…I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Toby: Building your world with somebody you meet tonight at the, uh, adventure that is the Little Black Dress Party.

JC: Well, anything’s possible, man. It depends on who it is and if we get along and so on and so forth. There’s gotta be chemistry.

Toby: You have considered being gay before, so that could be a man.

JC: Uh, no, it wasn’t one of my things, no.

Toby: Right. Hmm.

JC: Hmm.

Toby: So what’s the most romantic thing a woman’s ever done for you or that you’ve ever done for a woman in your, uh, past relationships? Like say with, uh, with Nicky Hilton.

JC: Um, I mean, it’s always flattering if somebody will travel long distances to see you, because I travel so much and I don’t tend to get free that much. I’m always blown away when people are able to take the time and spend the money and buy a ticket and come see me wherever I am.

Toby: And that’s why you really loved your relationship with Lindsay Lohan, right?

JC: [Laughs]

Toby: Or was it Denise Richards?

JC: She’s too busy – they’re all too busy, man!

Toby: [Laughs]

JC: I don’t, I’m not lookin’ for a tabloid girl, man. I need somebody that’s low-key, that, you know…I don’t need all that in my life right now.

Toby: So…

JC: I need my music and something chill.

Toby: Speaking of the music, how far along are you guys with the entire Legacy CD? I mean you and the rest of the guys in the band have been…

JC: We already – no, we already put out our Greatest Hits, it’s done.

Toby: No. No, no, we’re talking about – you still have two left with your deal, and you’ve got two more and the project’s currently called Legacy, is this not right?

JC: Mmm, this is incorrect.

Toby: No, isn’t the plan to wait for Justin to finish doing some of his solo stuff for the time being?

JC: No.

Toby: Do you deny that you guys have been in the studio together?

JC: We have been in the studio together but not as a band. Just the two of us.

Toby: But – I know, but the two of you have been in there, and then Lance has been…you know, when he’s not doing the Reichen thing, I mean, he’s, you know, he’s been around, right?

JC: Uh, the guys, uh, at different times I’ve seen each one of the guys at different times.

Toby: So probably the end of ‘07 then, for the, uh, NSYNC Legacy project?

JC: I probably wouldn’t look forward if I were you.

Toby: [Laughs]

JC: I mean, you might be starin’ at them shelves for a while. [Laughs]

Toby: JC Chasez is here, he’s co-hosting the Little Black Dress Party tonight with Hot 99.5. Um, do you fear that any of the women you uh, grew up with here in the Bowie area in DC might be comin’ out tonight, some of the ones you cheated on, maybe?

JC: I’m not worried about it, man. If they pop out, I’ll say hi, you know. That’s, I mean, you know, it’s always nice to see a familiar face.

Toby: Man, I’m glad you stopped by.

JC: I’m glad – I’m glad to be here.

Toby: This is awesome. We’ve learned that the new NSYNC CD is in the works, it’s called Legacy…

JC: [Laughs]

Toby: …it’s gonna be out in ‘07.

JC: Yeeah.

Toby: Thank you for confirming this for us. You guys have been in the studio together at different times. Lance ever make a pass at you, or did you always kind of know?

JC: Uh, no, he never made a pass at me, man. Uh, he’s always been a great friend to me and that’s as far as it’s gone.

Toby: Good. Excellent. Well, I’m glad you’re here tonight to make some new friends at the Little Black Dress Party.

JC: I am.

Toby: Listen, if you wanna get added to a list of names that includes Paris, Nicky Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Denise Richards, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Eva Longoria…

JC: Wow.

Toby: Tonight, ladies, could be your night with JC Chasez. Is there anything in particular you’re looking for, though, before we go?

JC: Uh, I’m just looking to have some fun. Keep it simple.

Toby: So, uh, body shots on you tonight, right?

JC: Fair enough.

Toby: So you’re willing to take them off of the many women that come to the Black Dress Party tonight?

JC: We’ll see what happens.

Toby: Oh, this is gonna be awesome. JC Chasez is here. [Applause] Call up, request his song, request it online, go buy it after the first of the year, and look for that new NSYNC CD in 2007. JC Chasez confirmed it here today on Hot 99.5.

JC: [Laughs]

Toby: Thanks for stoppin’ by!
