> Brad: WELCOME BACK TO "BradTV." TEGAN AND SARA ARE HERE. WE ARE HERE IN THE MuchMusic ENVIRONMENT.
> FEELS SO GOOD.
> SO GOOD TO BE HERE. WHAT ARE YOU CALLING THEM?
> RAD AND EGAN.
> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE OUR OWN SHOW.
> Brad: THE RAD AND EGAN SHOW. ON A NEIGHBOURING STATION BUT STILL PART OF THE CHUM LIMITED FAMILY. (Laughter)
> Brad: ARE YOU HAPPY AND HEALTHY?
> YES.
> HAPPY AND HEALTHY. SARA GREW HER HAIR OUT.
> WE WROTE THAT ALBUM ABOUT YOU. IT IS ALL ABOUT YOU.
> WE WERE SMITTEN BY YOU AFTER OUR FIRST MuchMusic EXPERIENCE.
> Brad: REALLY? BECAUSE IT IS CHOCK-FULL OF LOVE SONGS.
> WE USED TO HOLD OUT WITH SOME OLDER MEN TYPES. KIND OF LIKE YOU. THEY HAD A LOT OF HAIR. THEY DRANK A LOT.
> DO YOU DRINK A LOT?
> Brad: I'M STARTING TO NOW. MORE THAN I USED TO. THAT IS ANOTHER STORY FOR PERHAPS LATER.
> IT'S A LOVE RECORD.
> HEARTBREAK.
> IT'S A HEARTBREAK RECORD.
> YEAH.
> Brad: IS IT TRUTHFUL? OR IS IT ALLEGORICAL? ON THE SURFACE, IT'S ALL ABOUT--
> NO, NO, IT'S TRUTHFUL.
> ALLEGORICAL?
> TEGAN AND SARA ARE ALL ABOUT BEING REAL.
> Brad: REALLY?
> YEAH.
> Brad: GOOD.
> WE'RE LIKE, "BE REAL."
> Brad: SO THE KEY IS BE REAL?
> YEAH.
> Brad: SO IT'S BEEN A HARD COUPLE OF YEARS THEN, I SUSPECT?
> IT'S BEEN VERY TOUGH.
> IT'S BEEN TIRESOME. SARA AND I HAD TO GO IN FOR THERAPY AFTER THE LAST TIME WE SAW YOU.
> Brad: REALLY? ME?
> YEAH.
> Brad: STRANGE THAT I HAD THAT EFFECT ON YOU.
> YOU IGNITED THIS COMPETITION BETWEEN US. I CANNOT TELL YOU. SO THAT IS ALSO IN THAT RECORD, TOO.
> Brad: YOU COMPETED MORE SINCE HAVING MET ME THAN EVEN BEFORE WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP AS SISTERS?
> YEAH, EXACTLY.
> WE ACTUALLY GREW UP AS BROTHERS AND NOW WE'RE SISTERS.
> AND THAT WAS DIFFICULT FOR US.
> Brad: EXCITING.
> THE TRANSFORMATION CAME QUICKLY.
> Brad: WELL, IT REALLY WORKED.
> THANKS, BRAD.
> Brad: YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE TO SPREAD COMPLIMENTS AROUND BUT--
> BRADFORD ALWAYS COMPLIMENTS ON TV.
> DOES HE?
> YEAH, HE ALWAYS DOES.
> I DON'T WATCH BradTV.
> Brad: NO, ME NEITHER. TRUST ME, I DON'T EVEN WATCH THE REPEATS.
> I WATCH ED THE SOCK. I WATCH SMASH & TRASH.
> Brad: DIDN'T YOU WANT ED THE SOCK TO DO YOUR INTERVIEW?
> THIS IS THE THING ABOUT ED THE SOCK. I DON'T HAVE TV OR CABLE. AND WE'VE BEEN IN THE UNITED STATES TOURING. SO SOMEBODY E-MAILED ME AND SAID THAT ED THE SOCK DID A "SMASH & TRASH" ON OUR VIDEO AND CALLED US TRASH.
> WHICH I THINK IS WICKED.
> SO I WANT ED THE SOCK TO COME OUT. I WANT TO SEE HIM AND I'M NOT LEAVING THIS COUCH UNTIL ED SHOWS UP.
> Brad: MAYBE HE CAN PHONE US. I DON'T KNOW IF ED WATCHES THIS SHOW.
> PROBABLY NOT.
> PROBABLY NOT.
> IS HE A BIG FAN OF BRAD?
> Brad: HE LIKES ME A LOT BUT I COULDN'T--
> WILL YOU PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR US?
> Brad: ABSOLUTELY.
> TELL HIM, NEXT VIDEO TAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER.
> Brad: DO YOU GUYS WANT TO GO ON HIS SHOW?
> I'D LOVE TO GO ON HIS SHOW.
> Brad: I'LL PHONE HIM LATER. 'CAUSE HE LIKES ME. I WOULDN'T BLAME HIM, THOUGH, IF HE DIDN'T WATCH THE SHOW.
> YEAH.
> Brad: HAS IT BEEN NICE BEING BACK ON THE ROAD?
> IT'S BEEN GREAT. WE HAVE A FULL BAND ON THIS TOUR, AND WE JUST DID A FULL MONTH IN THE U.S. WITH RYAN ADAMS AND THAT WAS LIKE--
> Brad: WERE YOU THERE FOR ANY OF THE GIGS WHERE--
> YES, THE BRYAN-RYAN THING. HE HAD A CRUSH ON SARA, SO EVERY NIGHT HE WOULD PLAY WITH US ON STAGE AND THEY WOULD BE ALL LIKE, HEE-HEE, LIKE THIS. AND I WOULD SAY, "HELLO, WE'RE IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE." SO THEN I STARTED MAKING BRYAN JOKES. I WAS LIKE, "YOU'RE NO BRYAN" AND "BRYAN'S MY BOYFRIEND." BUT HE DIDN'T CARE BECAUSE HE WAS SMITTEN WITH SARA.
> THAT'S RIGHT. HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY INTEREST.
> I WAS LIKE THAT THIRD COUSIN, THAT GEEKY COUSIN THAT YOU INVITE ALONG BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS ARE LIKE, "BRING TEGAN." AND YOU'RE LIKE, "AH, WHY?"
> Brad: "AH, SHE'S ONLY 13."
> YEAH.
> YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAT I WOULD HAVE IN COMMON WITH YOU GUYS.
> YEAH, BUT IT'S BEEN FUN. THE ROAD'S BEEN GOOD. WE'VE BEEN OUT FOR LIKE THREE MONTHS. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE CHRISTMAS OFF. IT'S BEEN FUN. ALL NEW SONGS. I WAS DYING TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD. WE HAVE BEEN ROCKING OUT, BIG LOUD GUITAR LEADS. AND I DO LIKE A BANGER PART NEAR THE MIDDLE AND STUFF.
> Brad: YOU SAID IT'S BACK TO YOUR ROOTS, BUT HOW COME YOU PUT OUT SOMETHING THAT WASN'T KIND OF WHAT YOU WERE ALL ABOUT?
> I THINK IT'S ALL KIND OF OUR ROOTS. WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN SORT OF LIKE SINGER/SONGWRITERS. TO DO THE ACOUSTIC, LIKE WHEN WE DID THE THE LAST RECORD, "THIS BUSINESS OF ART" WITH HAWKSLEY, WE THOUGHT HE WAS REALLY ROCKING OUT ON THE DRUMS AND THE BASS AND ALL THAT STUFF SO--
> I READ A QUOTE TODAY WHERE YOU SAID HE, LIKE, PEED ON US; LIKE HE PUT HIS SCENT ON US. AND THE REASON THAT WE USED NEW PRODUCERS WAS BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE NEEDED TO GET ON OUR HYDRANT.
> I SAID THAT?
> THAT IS IN "NOW," I THINK.
> THAT'S AMAZING.
> Brad: THAT'S A GOOD SOUND BITE.
> THAT'S A GOOD SOUND BITE.
> Brad: IT'S ALL ABOUT SOUND BITES.
> SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE PUT OUT SOMETHING THAT WASN'T LIKE WHAT WE WERE SORT OF DOING, BUT IT JUST SORT OF WAS LIKE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE TIME.
> YOU NEED TO GET TO THE POINT.
> I KNOW.
> SPEAK FASTER. TALK FASTER.
> Brad: FASTER, FASTER, PUSSY CAT.
> THIS WAS A GOOD RECORD FOR US BACK BECAUSE WE GOT TO LIKE--
> WE USED ONE OF THE GUYS FROM THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS. HIS NAME IS JOHN. AND THEN DAVE FROM THE SMUGGLERS. THEY PLAY IN THE EVAPORATORS WITH NARDWUAR.
> Brad: OLD MAN CARSWELL, YEAH.
> YEAH, AND THEY WERE INTO, LIKE, BUILDING UP OUR SOUND. THEY WANTED US TO ROCK OUT. THEY ENCOURAGED US TO KEEP GOING. WE WOULD PUT ONE GUITAR DOWN AND THEY WOULD SAY, "GO BACK IN THERE." WE WOULD DO MORE AND MORE AND IT GOT LOUDER AND CRAZIER. I THINK IT REFLECTS OUR PERSONALITY. WE'VE GROWN UP A LOT. OUR LAST RECORD WE WROTE WHEN WE WERE 18 AND WE PUT IT OUT WHEN WE WERE 19. AND NOW WE'E 22, WHICH ISN'T THAT LONG BUT--
> Brad: NO, IT IS. AT THAT AGE, IT'S HUGE.
> LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, YOU FEEL SO OLD NOW YOU'RE IN YOUR 30s.
> Brad: ABSOLUTELY. NOW THAT I AM 39, I MEAN--
> YOU ARE ALMOST IN YOUR 40s.
> Brad: ALMOST.
> IT WAS A FUN RECORD FOR US. IT WAS GOOD.
> I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S OUR RECORD THAT WILL GO DIAMOND IN CANADA OR ANYTHING --
> THAT'S THE NEXT ONE.
> THAT'S THE NEXT ONE.
> DRAY IS GOING TO DO IT. HE'S ALREADY SIGNED ON.
> Brad: YEAH, DRAY AND EMINEM. WE DID THIS LAST TIME. YOU KNOW WHAT? WE ACTUALLY HAVE TRANSCRIPTS OF THE LAST INTERVIEW.
> DON'T SHOW THEM.
> NO, IT'S ALL GOOD.
> PEOPLE DON'T NEED TO SEE THAT. DON'T SHOW THEM THAT.
> Brad: WE HAVE SCRIPTS; WE COULD EVEN READ THEM.
> WE'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME.
> LIKE A SCRIPT, LIKE A PLAY?
> Brad: YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S DO IT NEXT TIME. YOU GUYS ARE HERE ON SUNDAY. MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME ON "Combat Zone." I'M HOSTING "Combat Zone" ON SUNDAY.
> YEAH, YEAH.
> Brad: WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME BACK AND RE-ENACT THE INTERVIEW? THAT'S WHEN VIDEOS GO HEAD TO HEAD.
> WE LOVE MuchMusic, EVEN THOUGH MuchMusic DOESN'T SHOW A LOT OF LOVE TO TEGAN AND SARAH. HOW COME WE DON'T GET OUR OWN SHOW?
> Brad: SUNDAY COMING, IT IS GOING TO BE THE TEGAN AND SARA HOUR.
> OKAY, FINE.
> OKAY, SOUNDS GOOD.
> Brad: THAT WILL BE SUNDAY. PENDING APPROVAL.
> YEAH, PENDING APPROVAL OF WHAT?
> SEE YOU NEXT RECORD, KIDS.
> BRADFORD, CAN WE ASK YOU A QUESTION?
> Brad: SURE, GO AHEAD.
> HOW ARE YOU? ARE YOU FEELING COMFY, HEALTHY?
> Brad: OH, MAN, I FEEL GREAT.
> BRAD HAS HIS OWN TV SHOW.
> Brad: LOOK AT THAT. MY NAME IS UP THERE.
> YOU ARE SO IMPORTANT; WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF YOU.
> Brad: THAT'S HARDLY IT.
> THAT'S NOT IT.
> DON'T EVER TOUCH ME. DON'T EVER TOUCH ME LIKE THAT.
> Brad: COME ON, YOU'RE SISTERS. YOU'RE TWINS, RIGHT?
> YEAH, WE TOUCH A LOT.
> THIS IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU EVER PLACE YOUR HAND ON MY SHOULDER AGAIN.
> Brad: A HEADLESS BABY DOLL.
> BRAD, DID YOU DO THAT?
> Brad: NO-- YES.
> OH, GOD, THIS IS CRAZINESS. > Brad: I BLEW IT.
> YEAH.
> Brad: THIS IS ALL ABOUT MIND OVER MATTER. WE'VE BEEN HELPING FRIENDS AND LOVERS WITH THEIR PROBLEMS, AND MORE THAN ANYONE, SISTERS, AND PARTICULARLY TWINS, HAVE A WAY OF SEEING EACH OTHER'S MINDS. WE HAVE A STILL FROM THE LAST TIME YOU GUYS WERE HERE. CAN WE BRING THAT UP?
> OH, I SEE IT.
> Brad: THE WAVES ARE PRETTY SLOW RIGHT NOW. WHAT DO YOU THINK TEGAN IS TELLING SARA?
> SHE IS SAYING, "SARA, GROW OUT YOUR HAIR."
> SHE IS SAYING, "THAT SHIRT MAKES YOU LOOK VERY FAT."
> AND I'M SAYING, "TEGAN, DON'T CROSS YOUR LEGS LIKE THAT ON TV."
> AND I'M SAYING, "OH, MY GOD, MY LEGS ARE UP AGAIN. PUT THEM DOWN."
> Brad: THEN THE BRAIN WAVES GET A LITTLE FASTER EVEN. LOOK AT THIS.
> "OH, MY GOD, WE ARE SAYING TOO MUCH AND THEY'LL NEVER GOING TO PLAY OUR VIDEOS."
> "OH, MY GOD, IT WILL BE TWO YEARS BEFORE WE ARE EVER SEEN ON MuchMusic AGAIN."
> Brad: AND HERE YOU ARE, TWO YEARS LATER.
> YEAH, THAT'S GOOD. > Brad: COME ON, CAN WE SHOW A LITTLE LOVE TO TEGAN AND SARA? I HEAR NOISES OFF THIS ALBUM HERE, "IF IT WAS YOU." AND THEY ARE PLAYING AT LEES PALACE ON SUNDAY. ED THE SOCK'S FAVOURITE AND MAYBE THEY'LL BE BACK FOR "Combat Zone" AND WE WILL RE-ENACT SOME OF THAT STELLAR 2000 INTERVIEW.
> OKAY, BYE.
> BYE. THANKS FOR HAVING US.
> Brad: BYE. BYE, MOM.
