TOTP: Who would you stick on the desert island first?
James: Number one: George Bush.

Adam: Yeah sure, he's going, let's put his whole administration there. Actually George Bush would probably be the last person to be effective on the island. We need to find out who's the most powerful and persuasive member of his cabinet..

Jesse: Not even from the cabinet - it could be some guy holed up in the side of a mountain somewhere, like Dr X! He's pulling all the strings.

TOTP: So if you took out the head guy, then George Bush would be reduced to a gibbering wreck?
Adam: That's okay - er we're not going back to the United States now..

James: We're not welcome there now. Next?.

TOTP: What about someone who's in the public eye a lot?
Adam: I think Clay Aitken should go. Clay Aitken's going!

James: Oi that's messed up, he's on our label, dog.

Adam: He should definitely be on that island. It's not cos I don't like him or anything. He's the runner up for our version of Pop Idol (American Idol). He's fabulous but he's going to the island.

TOTP: Do you watch Americal Idol much?
Adam: I really don't like the show very much, I actually despise it. Uh Kelly Clarkson was the winner.

TOTP: You know we're to blame for it...
Adam: Yeah thank you for that! You guys blame us for so much but we have one thing which is American Idol. [groans]

TOTP: What do you think about Simon Cowell?
Adam: Oh he's alright.

TOTP: Really?
Adam: He brings cynicism and legitimacy to our, I mean 'the' show. Otherwise it would be pure bubblegum. When I say 'our' show, I mean I represent America. (Laughs). So those two are solid.

TOTP: Okay so you've had one from a political and one from a musical realm...
Jesse: Can we put Fred Durst there? 

Adam: We hate Fred Durst but you guys love him over here for some reason which is really bizarre. Fred Durst is so there!

TOTP: Why though?
Adam: He means nothing to me - he's dead to me. So he's Number Three.

TOTP: What would you leave him on the island with, basic rations?
Adam: I'd leave him with barely enough food to live.

TOTP: Wouldn't you rather he was out of your way but comfortable - never coming back?
Adam: Yes that's true, I'd give him limitless rations and whatever he needed cos I want him to be happy - I don't hate the man. 

James: We'll call the Island Durst Island.

Adam: :Yeah so we've got Durst, Aitken and Mr X.

TOTP: In order to keep Fred happy you could let him have Britney...
Adam: But I wanna keep Britney here! Because if Fred Durst looked like her he wouldn't be going to the island - know what I mean? So Durst goes, Britney stays.

Jesse: I wanna say something about this removal plan of ours. There are definitely styles of music around that I don't like very much. I would put singer songwriters on the island, I'd put..

Adam: No! You can't do that!

Jesse: Just listen! Let me make my point! We could talk about things we don't like but there are other people who like them. I'd put these power pop punk bands on the island cos I just don't dig that style.

Adam: But we're not talking about styles though. Cos I carefully specified when I said Clay Aitken that I think Kelly Clarkson's an amazing singer. My hate is genre-less. I'm talking about people that if they were removed would make the world a better place.

Jesse: I totally disagree with that. Loads of Americans love Clay.

Adam: But you know why they love him? Cos he's on TV - which is another thing I'd love to remove. You can't remove entire institutions so you just need to take out a little tiny bit.

Jesse: That's a great point which I wanted to get to - it's the structures in place - like the advertising people who hook people into certain patterns of consumption in America. These are things that make life a little less happy for them.

Adam: We're talking about our island though, not anyone else's. We're talking about Adam, Jesse and Jame's island. 

Jesse: So the only reason we're making this island is so we can make the world a little bit better?

James: No it can also be for our own personal gain. It's to make your own world.

Adam: Exactly, that's what I'm talking about - so you don't have to be involved. It's James and Adam's island now. Jesse's removed!

TOTP: That's really harsh! So who's really next on the island?
Jesse: Steve Irwin, the crocodile guy!

Adam: No way dude - that wasn't such a big deal - the crocodile wasn't going to eat the baby. Jessie grew up rock climbing dangerous peaks which is probably more dangerous. People jump out of planes, do stuff to put their lives in danger all the time. I don't think a man like Steve Irwin would put his baby in any real danger.

TOTP: By that rationale shouldn't Michael Jackson go on the island?
James: Yeah! He's Number Four!

TOTP: Should he take his decadent lifestyle with him or would you give him the bare minimum?
Adam: No he can build a house if he wants. Or provide the room and board for everybody. Your money means nothing on the island so you could spend all you want before you get there - set it all up for yourself. But you can't have money when you get there. Or you could just rent a jet and take off.

TOTP: So who's the last person?
Adam: Wait a minute! I know who's going: Tony Robbins the life coach guru. He would gladly accept the misson - could you imagine what he could do with Durst and Jackson?

Jesse: He would help them all reach their own personal potential.

Adam: I'm so pleased with this! I'm so happy. That was genius.

TOTP: If you guys were on an island, who'd end up taking control? Who'd be Piggie?
Adam: The fat one who gets killed? Who's got potential to be fattest in the band? I think you do James! I'm thin as an ecto-morph. But I wouldn't want to eat you. I'd probably take over. God am I a bad person? Okay so I would take over the island and kill James.
