Time for questions, but Isaac must eat his cookie first
What is Isaacs favorite Christmas cookie?
The one in his hand
Zac & Taylor say Snickerdoodle
Christmas cookies are usually gingerbread or sugar with icing
All the questions are about touring…
Since 2017 is a special anniversary – can you tell us if there will be more for Hanson Day? Performing @ Hop Jam?
Zac goes off on a tangent about the username of the question submitter
Hanson Day is going to have more special stuff it is a big year the band is 25
Farewell concert (jk!)
They try to make it special every year – this year live EP
Not sure how to quantify “special”
This is the year to go if you’ve never made it before
Not breaking down what will happen – will be special
A fair amount of emphasis on the past – stories & things
Glass booth w/ speaker in the middle of the street and Isaac will tell stories 24 hours a day like David Blaine
Are you going to Europe in 2017?
Yes… maybe… probably.
They want to go there
They have been making plans for touring routing but don’t want to promise anything
Next year is a great opportunity to start the next chapter and hoping they will make their way to Europe
It is a year that is important to be in a lot of places. Teleportation
Hanson Day….
May 19, 20 plan to be in Tulsa
Isaac will tell stories for hours
Someone will sing MMMBop for 25 hours in a row
Going to do something special they have never done – show footage from 19 years ago

Sometimes when you screw up there’s really nothing to say – stop, compose yourself and start again
That way we know it is authentic
More questions!
Are you already working on a new album?
Material is always being thought about, several projects planned for next year, idea for new music to come out next year as 25th celebration
Takes on an identity once you start putting together a collection and themes emerge
In addition to the fan club EP next year there will definitely be some new music in one form or another.
Do you already have ideas for the next Members EP?
They are not ready to share the plans yet but there are several ideas
Challenge themselves
What are the determining factors for deciding Christmas songs?
Greatness
Went back to Snowed In and come up with an additional list, more rock n roll, more religious songs are hymns
No one knows the 3rd and 4th verse of Amazing Grace, same melody it repeats
The next record 20 years from now will be a religious hymns record – Ike by himself
Ike tried to make a Perry Como record this time
Isaac has been muted
It’s like picking a cover song for a tour
Iconic performers
Can Zac and Isaac bake?
Taylor has done baking segments
Taylor does love to cook
Zac likes to eat
Isaac is a candle stick maker
Butcher, Baker, Candle Stick Maker
Zac likes to play (win) games and cleanup
Playing risk with Zac is a risk
Can they make Hanson Risk? It’s just Hanson. Risk is a redundant statement
Giving gifts away to select Hanson.net members
Book package to 3 people
Let’s make books great again
Something to burn to keep yourself warm
Next 3 get GAMES – cards, poker chips, hansonopoly, dice, hancyclopedia

Isaac feels like the village idiot most of the time during streams
Next gift is Loud Play LP, Anthem LP, Shout It Out LP
Hope they have a record player
Last gift – tweet the name of someone in the community that is deserving
It sounds creepy
A special gift from some strangers
Tradition of replaying things that were made on previous Christmas

News Roundup…
A few news clips that mentioned Hanson around the internet in the past couple of days…
In an interview with Rove & Sam, Justin Timberlake mentioned his childhood crush was Alyssa Milano.
Radio hosts Rove and Sam also shared their childhood crushes.
Surprisingly Sam, 23, revealed it was none other than Zac Hanson, who formed part of the pop rock band Hanson.
In a more interesting article, Orlando Brown detailed his relationship with Raven Symone using only sounds, including “MMMBop”?
“I told you in the first interview, she gave me …” the former Disney star fails to complete his sentence verbally, relying instead on a series of inexplicable slurping noises, tongue wagging and jowl rattling, then transitioning into some jazz scat before closing with the chorus to Hanson’s “Mmmbop.”
Local band Dandy talks about how they have a song that was inspired by Hanson’s “MMMBop”
Most meaningful song that you’ve written: “There’s a song we do called ‘Lost Father.’ It’s a story about a dad who messed up his relationship with his son. It’s the backstory about what could start that. In the song, he’s doing his best to apologize and make up for his faults that he’s had on impacting his family and son’s life. It has a good message. It’s positive, but it’s real and gritty. One of my recent ones is ‘Feeling Like.’ It’s about a girl, but it goes off a relationship with a friend that I have who was having some self-image problems. It has a really fun pop feel that was inspired by the band Hanson. They did a song called ‘MMMBop.’ When I write, I kind of just mumble stuff into my phone to get a melody idea. We stuck with what I mumbled and it sounds like gibberish. It’s a fun sound with the onomatopoeia of what the girl would make you sound like, essentially.”
