Speaker 3: Incredible? You know, early reactions are just the best.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 4: You know. I love seeing people shout out their favorite song.

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 4: And it was important me to put this whole thing

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 4: out and just give you know, the audist chances to

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,600

00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 4: their own life and find their connection points.

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: And I love I love seeing that.

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,080

00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 4: entirety live the first.

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 3: Time, right here in New York City Urban Plaza. It

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: was an amazing show.

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: And then the blue note, the world famous blue note

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: in the Village Tomorrow Night, and then.

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: Blue note well in La actually so wait.

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: Wait, Nat, there's a blue note in La yea that

21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: they can't have that out there. That's in New York.

22
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: They're always they're always copying.

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: You know what, Nick, What I'm hearing from all of

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: my friends who've heard every inch of the album Sunday

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: Best they say all solo albums are very personal. This

26
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: is ultra personal stuff.

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: You know.

28
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 5: I wanted to give people a window into my life

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 5: and kind of my experiences of the last couple of years.

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 5: And and you know, between Gut Punch and songs like Princesses,

31
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 5: which is about my daughter, and you know, all of it,

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 5: it's just it's got that sort of window into my world.

33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: So when you open this window into your life, are

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: you you're actually looking through that window at yourself? I

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: mean it must be very, very very cathartic to learn

36
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: more about you in the process.

37
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.

38
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 4: I mean I think that you know, it's it's taking

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 4: about two and a half years to make this record,

40
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: but in some ways I feel like it's it's thirty.

41
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: Three years, you know, snapshots of my.

42
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 4: Life and my experiences that just took some time to

43
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 4: sort of find a way to articulate.

44
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: Sunday Best, of course, the album from Nick Jonas that

45
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: came out at midnight, I got to take. I got

46
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: to say, before we get back to the album, your

47
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: interview with Jay Shetty was amazing talking about your daughter

48
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: and bringing her into this crazy world of ours in

49
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: a crazy way. And I don't think I've ever seen

50
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: you be so personal about something that's that most people

51
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: would find very private. Are you still feeling that was

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 2: a great, great interview you did with Jay.

53
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, We've known Jay for a long time, and the

54
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 6: safety out of knowing that you're speaking to a friend

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 6: allows for, you know, things like some of the topics

56
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 6: we discussed to be a bit more natural and for

57
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 6: that for that doorway to be open.

58
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 7: I know that this is not obviously your first solo album,

59
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 7: but this is maybe your most personal What are the

60
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 7: nerves like before it comes out?

61
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 4: There's not a whole lot of nerve, and it's just

62
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 4: you hope that people kind of find a way to

63
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: connect with it in their own way. Obviously it's my

64
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: experiences in my life, but I think I tried to

65
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: write it from a place where, you know, you don't

66
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 4: have to have lived exactly my life or my experience

67
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: is to know what it feels like to you know.

68
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: For instance, sweet to Me is the first song on

69
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: the album, is.

70
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: Probably my favorite, and it's just about wanting to reconnect

71
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: with that inner child and kind of the safety of

72
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: growing up in a small town where you know, everyone

73
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: knows each other's names and there's just a simplicity to it.

74
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 3: As you get older and some of.

75
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 5: These situations happen in life, it just gets harder and

76
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 5: harder to kind of access.

77
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 3: Those those memories. But I think that nostalgia kind of

78
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: lives in all of us.

79
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 7: So when you talk about connecting to your inner child,

80
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 7: what are the ways you do that?

81
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 4: I think, you know, honestly through bes seeing the world

82
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: with the wonder that our daughter sees the world. She's

83
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: four now and got such a great perspective and outlook

84
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: and disposition. And I think you know, trying to find

85
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: ways to explain simple things like why why is glass clear?

86
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: It's like, that's a good question. You can give the

87
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: scientific response look at it. Sometimes you have to, Yeah,

88
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: sometimes you have to. You have to come up with

89
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: something that helps shape, you know, the sort of the worldview.

90
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: And that's incredibly exciting and you know, I would say

91
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 4: frightening prospect when it's so rewarding.

92
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: And now, I know you're very private, and you and

93
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: Prianca are very private about your personal life and being

94
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: a mom. I know you know I want to protect

95
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: my kids no matter what. So before you would go

96
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: on to Jay Shetty and talk about something like this

97
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: and talk about like these things that are going on

98
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: in your life or how she came into the world.

99
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: Did you and your wife sit down and say, okay,

100
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: we're ready to share this, this is okay. Is it

101
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: like a joint decision on something like that.

102
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

103
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I mean everything is you know, you know, we

104
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 8: always try to make sure we're on the same page

105
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 8: and that we're in lockstep and that in that way.

106
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: You know, doing doing these Sunday sessions, the intimate live

107
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: performances just after you come off this massive tour and

108
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: then I'm looking down the list of other stuff you

109
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: have coming up. Now you've got a lot going on.

110
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: Is are you finding that now that you and your

111
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: brothers have reconnected on stage and in the studio with

112
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: each other, that it's this is just a journey that's

113
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: going to continue until so when pulls the plug on

114
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: you or do you have to push a pause button

115
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 2: at some point and go, I need a minute so

116
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: I can enjoy all this great life I'm living.

117
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 9: I think you know, the good news is we really

118
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 9: genuinely enjoy what we do and getting to perform for

119
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 9: our fans, both brother stuff and solo and if we

120
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 9: didn't enjoy it, then, I don't think you know, we

121
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 9: we'd be doing as much as we are. But there

122
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 9: are times we find those windows to just kind of reset, disconnect,

123
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 9: try to have some quiet time as a family.

124
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: And for sure, well Sunday best of course, the latest

125
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 2: solo album from Nick out as of midnight last night,

126
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: and he's all over the world talking about it. I

127
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: know you'll be in la tomorrow and then London and

128
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: you've got so much going on. But let me ask you,

129
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: this is adulting fun for you? Are you starting to

130
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: understand You know, I'm sixty seven years old. I really

131
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: haven't figured out the adulting thing. I know it's kind

132
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: of silly to say that. Are you really getting into

133
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: the rhythm knowing that your your family, your your wife,

134
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: your child, your brothers, your family and their families. It's

135
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: a whole other world. Do you enjoy it?

136
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: Yes?

137
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 5: And no.

138
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: Right, being young and not having to worry about all

139
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: the things you have to worry about as adult is great.

140
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 4: But you know, I think that perspective and life as

141
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: we just talked about, have a kid and see what

142
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: that what your worldview becomes, is a thousand times more

143
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: rewarding and more fun than just having no care in

144
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: the world.

145
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean it's it's good and bad.

146
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: I would say, right, it will be forevermore. But the

147
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: difference is now with Sunday Best Out, you're telling your

148
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: story and that's that's I think that's a great step

149
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to hearing every square into this album.

150
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 3: Nick.

151
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: You know what they told me when I was pregnant

152
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: with my kids. They said, you know your part acting

153
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: your kid right now. It's in your belly. Just wait

154
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: till it gets out and it breeds that Jersey air.

155
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, here we go.

156
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: Yep, it's a rude awakening for everyone.

157
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: Anyway, Nick, thank you for coming on, play some music

158
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: from the album and tell the brothers we said hi

159
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,040
