I talked to several husbands about their wives' love of the New Kids on The Block, and how they deal with it. Some of them have been to concerts and cruises, and have became fans themselves! We learn about how they support their wives, what annoys them, embarrassing moments, who is their favourite New Kid, and is there a line that's going too far? Sam, Greg, Nick, John, & Tyrone were wonderful!
I also talk to male Blockheads Jeremy and Joseph about their fandom, how they became fans, and solidify that NKOTB is for everyone, not just the girls.
