123.185 - 147.218 Aly Michalka

Do you guys play the typical like older, younger sister roles? Do you feel like, or is there anything that you're like, I don't act like a younger sister and older sister in this way?

160.816 - 163.439 Aly Michalka

I think they were swapped when we were younger. Oh really? Yeah, that's a good point.

Chapter 4: How do Aly and AJ maintain their sisterly bond amidst their careers?

163.459 - 175.375 Aly Michalka

I was very much kind of younger sister and she was like older sister. And then it switched. Like we always joke how when I was young, I was very shy and- Really shy. And I would have her just kind of, you were like my translator. Yes.

175.696 - 181.368 AJ Michalka

0

194.176 - 212.899 Alex Cooper

Never. But I think what's interesting is like obviously you guys then like at a pretty young age got into the spotlight. So like you don't think that a kid would be shy that then gets into like this industry. When Disney entered the conversation, were your parents at all like this is like too much? Did they ever try to talk you guys out of it?

0

213.219 - 214.701 AJ Michalka

No, at that point we were fully in.

Chapter 7: What themes are explored in Aly and AJ's new music?

240.226 - 258.868 Alex Cooper

I'm like, when you look back at that era, you think about like, you think about you guys, you think about Demi, you think about Miley, you think about Selena, you think about the Jonas Brothers, like, When you were in the era that you were in because it shaped so much of our childhood, I feel like, did you guys realize it was that iconic in the moment or did it literally just feel like work?

0

260.149 - 261.571 Alex Cooper

I think once Cowbells hit, we knew.

0

261.752 - 280.319 Aly Michalka

Yeah. And I feel like when the music started happening on the channel and that was happening simultaneously with Phil, I think that's when we were like, oh, this is really like clicking with people. And I do remember going to – I don't know. I think – were we with Hollywood Records at the time? I don't know. I don't think so.

280.659 - 282.582 AJ Michalka

Well, I think they signed us season two of the show.

282.602 - 292.658 Aly Michalka

It was season two. But I think season one of Fill the Future had been out. So no, we weren't signed yet with Hollywood. But for whatever reason, we were invited to Hilary Duff's concert at, I think, the Forum or something.

300.37 - 314.415 Aly Michalka

It was weird. It was like the first real time I remember being like, oh, like people know me from this show. And then it was just, you know, after that, it was still very, we had a very normal life. But I just remember being like, oh, people are stopping me because of this TV show.

0

314.395 - 331.59 Alex Cooper

Oh, my God. A Hilary Duff concert. Like, take me back. Oh, my God. Because I was going to ask, like, how your life changed with Fill the Future. Because I feel like that was a very, very, very big moment. And I feel like some shows popped, some shows didn't. That one, I, like, feel like I watched every freaking episode.

331.63 - 337.555 Aly Michalka
