The brothers Hanson are notoriously chatty.
"We're just very verbal," singer Taylor Hanson explains to AOL Music Blog as his younger brother, drummer Zac, continues to barrel through a rant about the eternal geek battle between Star Wars and Star Trek. "He just likes to riff. We get in this talking mode."
We're still not sure how it all happened. One minute, we were interviewing the pop/rock/soul trio and "MMMBop" troubadours about the recent release of their latest album, Shout It Out, on Canadian shores and about Carly Rae Jepsen.
The next we made one innocent remark about nerds. Guitarist and eldest Hanson, Isaac, said that he was one, and used his love of Star Wars as an example of the depths of said nerdness.
"But are Star Wars fans really that nerdy?" we made the mistake of asking.
"That's just because Star Trek isn't as cool as Star Wars!" Zac retorted. "It's not because they're any less nerdy."
And just like that, he was off. The drummer spent the next five minutes lecturing us about the finer points Trek vs. Wars, the only aliens he will accept from the Trek-verse, and the superiority of the light saber. Isaac occasionally interjected. Taylor, for the record, didn't care about any of this and desperately tried to get his brothers to actually talk about their music.
In honor of May the Fourth, and its being with you-ness, here is the full Hanson gospel on everyone's favorite Star franchises:
