b4-4 took time out of their busy schedule to chat with their fans on AllPop.com on Friday, August 18.. Below is the complete transcript of the chat.
Kristen:
FIRST I WANNA SAY YOU GUYS ROCK!!! I MET YOU AT THE SONY
THING AND IT WAS SOOOO AWESOME. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU
COULD SPEND A DAY WITH ANYONE IN THE WORLD WHO WOULD IT
BE?? AND WHY??? THANKS A BUNCH
LOTS OF LOVE KRISTEN
*P*S*****OHAD YOU ROCK!!!!!
b4-4: Hey, what's up!
We're right now on the set of our video shoot!
Probably Stevie Wonder, he's a big inspiration for us, we've listened to him since we were little kids.
Michael Jackson, we've grown up with him.
jenn:
on your website under fan links, there are 3 websites that
claim to be each 1 of your personal websites about
yourself. there is even an e-mail address where fans can
reach you. are those websites under fan links really yours?
or are they just some one who are impersonating you guys?
b4-4: Each one of us made one...
We just wanted to share the funny stories that we've had!
Those are our real sites, for sure!
Ryan wants to say thank you so much for all your poodle pictures!!!
~*ashley*~:
In the future, do u guys ever think you'll make dolls or a
movie/video on how u came together, or how the industry
treated u?---(stuff like that)
Love ya sooo much!
-~*ashley*~
b4-4: Right now we're just focusing on performing and getting out there.
Ummm, maybe make movies one day.
Truth is we haven't really thought about that in great detail.
BlueLava:
Have you guys pulled any wacky pranks on each other
recently? *ahem* I heard about the whole
"throwing-Ohad-out-of-the-room-naked" incident =)
b4-4: No...but a funny thing happened to Ohad,
we were on our way to a radio station and a bird crapped on Ohad's head. What a klutz!
He wiped it off.
Joanna:
Have your fans ever done anything really crazy to meet you?
b4-4: Let's see,
they've given us crazy things...
panties and one girl wrote a letter on her underwear and gave it to us, one person gave us a poodle. It was so sweet!
silvercharms:
What is your ultimate goal in life, and what is your
greatest fear?
b4-4: Our ultimate goal is to reach the entire world...everyone on planet earth with our music.
Our greatest fear is probably losing our voice.
Jamie
Ohad,Is being a popstar different from what you thought it
would be like?
b4-4: No, I knew before I got into it that its a give and take. I kind of had to give my life away (walking around the mall....) give away my private life. I was expecting that.
You give those things up for a dream.
Alexandra:
Ryan and Ohad I was wondering where your obsession with
poodles
came from???
b4-4: It's actually only Ryan. When I was young I thought that I was a poodle. Because I always felt like a poodle (laughs!)
Nancy:
What is the craziest thing you guys have ever done to get a
girl attention???
b4-4: I bought her a poodle (Ryan)
Ohad - I mooned someone!
Dan - I don't even know. Dan is romantic. He gets flowers, romantic dinner.
Katherine:
What was your favourite song to record? Why?
b4-4: It's a hard question to answer because I love all the songs on the album and they each have a special meaning.
For example Smile was the first song we ever recorded so it's special
Ohad - Everyday
Ryan - Endlessly
Dan - Get Down
Pure Delight:
Hey guys, I heard u were coming to Vancouver..is it true?
b4-4: For tour information you can look on our site b4-4.com!
Anik bourbonnais:
do you guys have girlfriend
b4-4: We're all single!!!
We're waiting for the right girl to come along.
lucia :
RYAN/DAN when get mad at each other don't you ever get
bored of twins?
b4-4: Sometimes we get mad at each other but it only lasts for about five minutes.
We love being twins!!
It's like growing up with your best friend. It's like being with your best friend 24/7
Ana:
What do you guys do in your free time??
b4-4: We don't really get much free time but when we do we usually go to the movies. We love comedies.
Favourite films:
The Green Mile - Ryan & Dan
Titanic and American Pie - Ohad
For anyone who hasn't seen The Green Mile...go see it! It's the best movie.
Carly:
what would be your idea of the perfect date??
b4-4: Perfect date:
Ryan - I like doing crazy things. Like taking a girl in a helicopter at night...flying all over the city, looking at all the beautiful nights with a nice candle-light dinner with rose petals all over the place. No wine because I don't drink.
Dan - A great date to me would be on top of an extremely high mountain. I'd love it! I would have a nice blanket set out on the top of the mountain with some soufflé.
Ohad - Cuddling with a girl at an exotic beach. Ibiza
Lisa & Daniela:
Boxers or briefs????
b4-4: Ryan - nothing
Dan - a towel
Ohad - a thong
jenn:
a lot of parents on my street don't like the words in some
of your songs. to them its inappropriate if their children
listen to it. I'm thankful that my parents aren't the ones
who complain about that! I know that prozaak helped you
guys out in the writing of the songs, but i was wondering
what your perspective of this was.
b4-4: Ohad - I think if you listen to the words it's talking about a give and take in a relationship (the words in Get Down)
Alicia Moffatt:
Hi guyz....i was at your concert in Edmonton and u guyz did
great!! I just wanted to know if u guyz have
girlfriends...and if u don't would u ever consider goin out
with a fan???
b4-4: For sure!!
We're just waiting for the right girl to come along.
The right girl would be a...green one (Ryan says a poodle)
Ohad - I've dated a fan. Things didn't work out.
We've actually all dated a fan.
peck:
How did you all meet?
b4-4: We met through a mutual friend about eight years ago.
We just automatically clicked. We became best friends instantly.
A lot of it has to do with our passion for music.
Maggie Cunningham:
What is like being compared to Backstreet boys, NSYNC and
other boy bands?
b4-4: All those groups have done so well and we have a lot of respect for them. And we have a lot of respect for anyone who can make it in the music industry.
To be compared to those groups, well, right now we're living our dream, that's all we focus on!
crislee:
If all 3 of you were on the tv show "Survivor" who would
you expect to get kicked off the island first and why?
b4-4: I think Ryan because of his obsessions with poodles.
Becky Yates:
Dear B4-4,
Why did you choose B4-4 for your name?
I LOVE YOU!!
b4-4: I lot of people don't know what it means.
It means Before four, which is three.
We wanted this name..we wanted a simple name that people would think about.
We came up with it together.
Alyssa:
Ohad, I heard that you have a BMW...what colour is it
and how many people does it seat?
b4-4: Black and it seats four people.
I love cars. There are many nice cars in our video.
b4-4 Girl:
Hi Ryan, Ohad and Dan! I think you guys are very talented.
My question is What is your most embarrassing moment?
b4-4: Ryan - slipped on a banana peel on stage and all the lights fell, the stage collapsed. (We think he's teasing us).
Ohad - I walked into an old lady and she fell.
Dan - We were staying at a hotel and Ryan and Ohad took away all my clothes and I had to walk around the hotel naked.
Melissa:
HI guys
me and my cousin have a pop group and can u please give us
some advice, we write our own songs and practice everyday.
b4-4: Just to never, ever give up!!!
Go with your gut, keep working. It will happen if you want it that badly. "You've really got to want it."

Dan and Ryan- Do you guys have any kind of Psychic twin

A lot of the time we know what each other is thinking!
When we were kids we were going for a walk and Ryan was walking and Dan got stung by a bee and Ryan was in front and didn't see that Dan got stung but he still felt it.
That was pretty crazy.

It's the best feeling ever for all of us.
Kailey:
Do you guys have any crushes on celebrity's??
b4-4: No really no, only fans.
We're looking for the right fan.
[ashley]:
I can see that U guys are very close to your fans. I
definitely saw that in Oakville when U sang "Happy B-Day"
to my friend and gave hugz to everyone who asked you for
one! You have no idea what a simple wave or smile can do :)
Is it sometimes hard for you guys to try 'n make ALL of
your fans happy?
b4-4: Ummm, it can get hard because... it's a little upsetting to us that we can't get to every single one of our fans.
We look at our fans as our family and we all work together to create b4-4. We are all really b4-4.
b4-4: Thank you all so so so so so so so much for taking the time to talk to us and sorry if we didn't get to everyone's questions.
And we hope to do this again soon on AllPop.
We'll see everyone soon at our next show...thanks for all of your support and advice you've given us. You are the best fans on earth.
