Joe:  Has anybody heard ‘NSYNC’s new album?

Miguel:  I haven’t heard it, but I heard it’s, ah, coming out this week and it’s supposed to sell like two million copies.

Joe:  Two million copies? Are you gonna buy one?

Miguel:  Well, I don’t think I’ll be one of the two million. I’m, I’m not really that in to ‘NSYNC but, it’s amazing… I guess that’s like a record number of sales.

Joe:  Yeah, it seems like it. I know the one song they have out now, “Pop” something?

Miguel:  Oh right. Yeah, that song is kind of annoying although it’s really popular, like on TRL and stuff.

Joe:  Oh wow. So a lot of kids really enjoy it. They call in and request it?

Miguel:  Well it’s… I, I think that in general ‘NSYNC is liked by kids a lot more than like guys our age you know?

Joe:  Yeah I agree with you on that. Yeah, I don’t think I like ‘NSYNC too much. I mean they’re pretty talented and I like that there’s stuff there for young kids to listen to, but I don’t really listen to them.

Miguel:  Yeah. I, I actually checked out their web site the other day and they got… they have some like, you know, “alternative to drugs” messages and stuff like that. So, they’re, they’re a positive part of the whole, you know, music scene but they’re just not my thing, you know?

Joe:  Yeah completely.
