Speaker 1: Jus, what's up boys? We are in Spain.
Speaker 2: This is ours Kevin, hours after Spain just won the
Speaker 2: World Cup.
Speaker 1: Now hit the applause on the have you gone to bed?
Speaker 1: It was the city on fire? Like what happened? The
Speaker 1: city is not on fire. It's kind of an interesting vacation.
Speaker 1: In the last Spain. This is called an appall. Where's money?
Speaker 1: It's the drink of the summer two years running Spain.
Speaker 2: Let's tell you about our trip. So we're clocked in
Speaker 2: on vacation. I got here about what was it five
Speaker 2: days ago. I came straight from New York. I was
Speaker 2: in New York doing a shoot with a fur hanging
Speaker 2: out with me and I. I say, you're a place
Speaker 2: for one night. And I got here. Priyanka and Malty
Speaker 2: and our parents were already here. So then I joined up.
Speaker 2: Joe got here a day after.
Speaker 1: Me because I was shooting something in Los Angeles. I
Speaker 1: can't talk to you about it.
Speaker 2: We got top secret projects, so busy. We did Prianca's birthday,
Speaker 2: wonderful day. The following day we watched Spain win the
Speaker 2: World Cup and the city was going nuts till last
Speaker 2: three or four in the morning.
Speaker 1: Well, so a clip right now. This is a video
Speaker 1: I took of the fireworks rolling here, the horns honking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're going nuts. This went on all night.
Speaker 2: So the other thing about this place that we're in
Speaker 2: here in Spain, which shout out Spain, we love.
Speaker 1: You, seriously, shout out in Spain, it's Fiesta season.
Speaker 2: They basically shoot off fireworks at eight am every morning,
Speaker 2: and then every night am.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're testing them for the night
Speaker 1: time or they just are I think it's a test
Speaker 1: they're testing, and then at night I get ten From
Speaker 1: pretty much from ten till midnight, they're just going off.
Speaker 1: Did you watch the match? I did. I was flying
Speaker 1: home from the Hamptons. Me and Danny went and visited
Speaker 1: some friends and so chic. Yes, to Hampton's.
Speaker 3: We had a little five minute flight. We literally had
Speaker 3: a five minute flight. Actually it was the perfect amount
Speaker 3: of time. It was twenty four minutes, and I watched
Speaker 3: the end of the real time. Then I watched the
Speaker 3: rest of it, you know, in.
Speaker 1: The car ride home. Oh were you doing in the
Speaker 1: Hampton's visiting some friends. They invited us out, went to
Speaker 1: their beach house and it was very awesome. Did you
Speaker 1: take a helicopter. I did not.
Speaker 3: We flew on a plane and because I was not
Speaker 3: about to sit in five hours of traffic with the
Speaker 3: World Cup traffic going on.
Speaker 1: It's crazy here. It like lits it New York. It
Speaker 1: was in the Great City New Jersey. I've met.
Speaker 3: Was in the Great City of New Jersey, not New York.
Speaker 3: But Joe, I went to Sunset Beach where you said
Speaker 3: we have to go when you were out in the
Speaker 3: Hampton's and it was the most amount of rain on
Speaker 3: Shutter Island I've ever experienced, like ever, how much rain
Speaker 3: we got that night. The tent inside that place was dripping,
Speaker 3: but it became because you were so like just drenched,
Speaker 3: it didn't matter, and dinner was awesome and the music
Speaker 3: was going on.
Speaker 1: But that's pretty trippy probably to experience that in the rainstorm.
Speaker 1: It was like kind of like giving Widows Bay. It
Speaker 1: was giving horror film. Speaking of horror films, have you
Speaker 1: guys watched Obsession yet? No? Actually, by the way, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but I've been saving it. It's Tati and I I've
Speaker 1: been my Jiff. We are waiting to watch it, but
Speaker 1: there's never an appropriate time to watch it. So I
Speaker 1: have it saved this. I've watched it flight because you, guys,
Speaker 1: I don't know why'd you watch it without me?
Speaker 2: I watched quite a few movies, but Obsession is the
Speaker 2: movie of the year. When I say it's it's beyond
Speaker 2: its cultural reach. It is a fantastic film.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see the Odyssey.
Speaker 2: Though the Odyssey is gonna be great. Guys, A lot
Speaker 2: has happened that we have to we have to recap, recap.
Speaker 2: The first is three sold out nights Madison Square Gardens.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Twentieth twenty first, twenty second, are incredible fans.
Speaker 1: This actually makes sense. This, this button I have makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense for these three sold out here.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the tables, turning it back, turning back in time.
Speaker 1: We're playing, We're running, We're running it. Yeah, we're turning
Speaker 1: it back. The people have spoken by the way, we're
Speaker 1: doing the show. Oh yeah, we're doing turning the shows
Speaker 1: back to the Burning Up tour that we were on
Speaker 1: in two thousand and the Burning Up Tour all over
Speaker 1: again two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: It has been so incredible to see the responsory shows.
Speaker 2: Thank you everyone that bought a ticket. You can't wait
Speaker 2: to see you cannot wait. But what's been really fun
Speaker 2: is literally putting the show back together. And I will
Speaker 2: say that this is a bit of lore that we
Speaker 2: never talked about. But the og sign, the burning up sign,
Speaker 2: one that lights on the firefire. We could not find it.
Speaker 2: So here's the picture of what it looks like.
Speaker 1: This is what we found in stores. We have a
Speaker 1: Jonas Brothers storage Unity, which also is quite fun. It's
Speaker 1: a Jonahs Brother's mal It's it's a massive storage unit
Speaker 1: that if you're a fan of Big Fat Lier. When
Speaker 1: they when they went into the uh.
Speaker 2: Just watched it with the kids, I was like, guys,
Speaker 2: you're gonna love this film. And you know what, shout
Speaker 2: out the snails. You know what I'm talking about, Big
Speaker 2: fat Lyre.
Speaker 1: They said it moved too slow. They're like, it's a
Speaker 1: little slow.
Speaker 2: I'm like everything they watched is just like, yeah, fantastic
Speaker 2: about Liar.
Speaker 1: I was thinking of Liar Liar.
Speaker 2: Is there a storage unit scene in this Yeah, they
Speaker 2: go into the costume house at the a lot. Remember
Speaker 2: Paul Jamadi is like the big bad guy and they
Speaker 2: go and it's it's one of my favorite scenes in
Speaker 2: the film. And then the other one is when he
Speaker 2: jumps into his pool. When he comes out, he's all blue.
Speaker 2: So we found that the sign. That's the first step.
Speaker 2: We have been going back and forth with our production
Speaker 2: team while on vacation and you know, all the rest,
Speaker 2: putting the show back together piece by piece.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be the OG set list. Uh.
Speaker 2: There's some special things too that are new and some
Speaker 2: slight changes, a lot of conversation around the flips. If
Speaker 2: we're gonna be doing the flips, I will say that
Speaker 2: Joe and I have been.
Speaker 1: We've been stretched working it out in the pool. Have
Speaker 1: you been doing stretching them? It are?
Speaker 2: We have something extra, guys. I don't want to get
Speaker 2: anything away, but it's gonna be great. And then we
Speaker 2: take this twenty five minute break, we come back out
Speaker 2: and we do about an hour and a half of
Speaker 2: more music. It's a long show though, two and a
Speaker 2: half hour show. Oh did you get a break though?
Speaker 2: I mean we should just we should talk about this.
Speaker 1: Five albums one night was three hours.
Speaker 3: Well exactly whatever what happened after we got on tour
Speaker 3: and it was like, oh no.
Speaker 1: I feel like we could play He doesn't make very
Speaker 1: negative right now. I think I'm not being just being
Speaker 1: realistic about our Yeah, well our stamina. What else? What
Speaker 1: else happened? You went on vacation.
Speaker 3: I went on vacation. We went to the Bahamas again.
Speaker 3: Because that's what low lights. What are some highlights? Low
Speaker 3: light was the delayed flight. Highlight was getting there and
Speaker 3: watching them like go on the water slides. Here's a
Speaker 3: video of Valentina jumping off a cliff like they have
Speaker 3: the air, no fear, into water, into a.
Speaker 2: Little softball question this this won't be controversial at all,
Speaker 2: any conflict with any fights or you know any.
Speaker 3: I got a little heated one morning, so I had
Speaker 3: the entire group going, Did I got a little down?
Speaker 1: People were talking?
Speaker 4: It was nine, No, it was eight. And then Mikey joined,
Speaker 4: By the way, great call. It's good to own a family.
Speaker 4: VAK and uncle showing up a little late brings a day.
Speaker 3: In two days in perfect Yeah, it helps it like
Speaker 3: re reduces the energy. Went down to breakfast because I
Speaker 3: bring the girls down early because they're up and I'm
Speaker 3: up because I was already at the gym.
Speaker 1: Because what time we talked on nine o'clock? Are you
Speaker 1: in the gym before that? Yeah? Damn, vac on vaca.
Speaker 1: My body like wakes up. I went locked in.
Speaker 3: I set up breakfast for everyone where we've been having
Speaker 3: breakfast the last three days. Everybody else had a table
Speaker 3: outside and eating ahead of us without inviting us, like
Speaker 3: I invite everyone to meals.
Speaker 2: And just I'm gonna say, you're kind of hosting. I
Speaker 2: was a little uncouth as it were.
Speaker 1: That was a low light. Then you got heated. Low light. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got heated.
Speaker 3: And then I couldn't get a drink for like three
Speaker 3: hours for some reason, they just wouldn't try to check
Speaker 3: on us.
Speaker 1: And so then that was like then I was really
Speaker 1: drink are we talking about talking about?
Speaker 3: I need after all sprits and I couldn't get one
Speaker 3: got it.
Speaker 1: So I started to rage and it became and then
Speaker 1: I just had to go for a walk. I had
Speaker 1: a low lit. I went on a yacht trip. Wait
Speaker 1: a second, the fact that you just said I had
Speaker 1: a low light. I went on a yacht trip. Well,
Speaker 1: it's part of the yacht. Yacht trip had a low light,
Speaker 1: which was It's kind of a both thing. It's like
Speaker 1: a yacht trip and you spend a lot of money
Speaker 1: for the bad low light, which is it was a guest.
Speaker 1: Actually I was a guest on the boat, so I'll
Speaker 1: jokes aside. I fell off a boat going onto a tender.
Speaker 1: It was pretty pretty scary, stepped a little early that
Speaker 1: everyone said it was fine, and me and the first
Speaker 1: mate like slipped between the two boats. It was pretty terrifying,
Speaker 1: and I think I think the adrenaline was going and
Speaker 1: there's like the element of embarrassment, and I think I
Speaker 1: pulled myself up on the smaller boat and I hit
Speaker 1: my shin. But it was more just like terrifying, Like
Speaker 1: in a moment like that, you're like, so many things
Speaker 1: could have gone bad. I mean, other than like a
Speaker 1: bruised shin. Like everybody's fine, but it was definitely one
Speaker 1: of the moments like I want to call my kids
Speaker 1: right now, mm hmm, like that's the first thing. I
Speaker 1: just need to talk to them, and like pretty shook
Speaker 1: for like a while. But also makes it some people
Speaker 1: are like, you're good, okay, yeah, Like you're like, yea,
Speaker 1: I'm fine, even though you know you're not fine. But
Speaker 1: I'm like I'm just trying to tell myself, I'm just
Speaker 1: let it go. Move on. That being said, the trip
Speaker 1: itself was a lot of fun. Did some day clubbing,
Speaker 1: which was not something I do in my mid thirties,
Speaker 1: but that was fun. Like Nikki Beach, who is just
Speaker 1: like a restaurant club, We're like halfway through the you're
Speaker 1: eating little asagna and it's like you just hear like
Speaker 1: crazy frog and then it's just that it's really fun
Speaker 1: and you have to lean into it and it's a
Speaker 1: good time.
Speaker 2: And also I was on the trip when we found
Speaker 2: out that we sold out these shows, so so good.
Speaker 1: It was nice to have so pumped.
Speaker 2: I have an update. It's neither a low light or
Speaker 2: a highlight. It's just a general update. But it does
Speaker 2: actually tie into the next piece of the conversation. So
Speaker 2: let's call this a segue, if you will. I'm having
Speaker 2: a Coke zero summer.
Speaker 1: You're back. I just I just was like, let me
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna have a nice cold, ice cold cold
Speaker 1: Coke zero today. It's so good. What yeah, so what I.
Speaker 2: Was trying diet coke, but now zero is shadow coke zero.
Speaker 2: You're doing your thing. So this is my Coke zero summer.
Speaker 2: It's a nice refreshment. It's huge. It's a big update.
Speaker 1: Are are you getting like no, asked for saying that
Speaker 1: absolutely not nice. I have a segue here. I want
Speaker 1: to get to it because it's it's a good one.
Speaker 2: Having a coke zero reminds me of my teen years,
Speaker 2: and I was brought back to the many wonderful memories
Speaker 2: we had with John Taylor, greg Or Bowski, and Jack Lawless,
Speaker 2: the OG band O G band whose name as a
Speaker 2: band was Ocean Grove OG. See what I did there,
Speaker 2: wow Place. So a few weeks ago during our Vegas residency,
Speaker 2: we had to sit down with the OG band, John Taylor,
Speaker 2: Jack Lawless, Gregor Bowski and we've been sitting on this
Speaker 2: gem of an episode now for weeks because there was
Speaker 2: so many great guests.
Speaker 1: That we just had to sit on it.
Speaker 2: But the conversation was really reflective and fun, and we
Speaker 2: got to walk down and relane with some guys that
Speaker 2: were there from the very start of the journey.
Speaker 1: I will say we need to have another OG band
Speaker 1: episode because John Taylor of the minute got he got up. Hey,
Speaker 1: he was just getting this, he was just starting to cook.
Speaker 1: He was starting to cook. There's so much more we
Speaker 1: can unpack, Like that was such a warm up episode.
Speaker 3: Maybe they're going to have to come back in to
Speaker 3: the MSG shows and play a song with us on
Speaker 3: some stars like they.
Speaker 1: Did back in the day.
Speaker 2: But every you know, a couple weeks months, we should
Speaker 2: have them back on tell some more stories, story telling
Speaker 2: about which is what we're calling this episode. This is
Speaker 2: story Time with the OG Band.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the pod the OG

Speaker 2: our relationship with these three guys. This goes back all
Speaker 2: the way to what year, Greg, two thousand and five,
Speaker 2: the timekeeper, Yeah, every date ever.
Speaker 1: We The first person we've ever met on this couch
Speaker 1: that we've ever met ever was John Lloyd Taylor. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I loved to hear John your first interaction with
Speaker 1: Nick which has to do with his nails. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we've talked about to nails before on this podcast. You've
Speaker 1: already reached the subject. Have we talked about the subject.
Speaker 3: A conversation we had the other day about your toes
Speaker 3: being out because of the hobby on us.
Speaker 1: M yeah, like grown men and flip flops or something.
Speaker 1: I get it. I got paid for that, so shut up,
Speaker 1: go on.
Speaker 5: I rolled in for my audition at the church on
Speaker 5: Franklin Avenue in why coffee was not.
Speaker 1: An audition for the church, he might break. The audition
Speaker 1: was at the church. Church church was an extension of
Speaker 1: the home.
Speaker 5: Your father was a pastor at the Wycoff Assemblieve God.
Speaker 5: And I brought my sisters back up because my sister's
Speaker 5: very affable, likable, and I thought that that would make
Speaker 5: me look like a family man, and you guys were
Speaker 5: a family so that.
Speaker 1: Was going to give me a leg up on it.
Speaker 1: And beginning the facts. You were a delinquent, and yeah
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 5: I was a bit of a delinquent. Yes, a black sheep,
Speaker 5: if you will. Somehow ended up as the adult in
Speaker 5: the room for the first few years of this journey.
Speaker 5: But I met Nick first. I was walking around the
Speaker 5: church and Nick emerged out of the woods, which I
Speaker 5: thought was kind of strange, like a feral child bounding
Speaker 5: out of the woods. And he came up to me
Speaker 5: and he gave me this very firm handshake, shook my hand.
Speaker 5: I'm Nick it's very nice to meet you. I look
Speaker 5: forward to playing music with you today. And I was like,
Speaker 5: all right, man, he's twelve, twelve years old, and he
Speaker 5: said he looked down at his feet. He was wearing
Speaker 5: flip flops, and he said, excuse me, I have to
Speaker 5: go back home and trim my toenails. I'll be right back,
Speaker 5: and he disappeared back into the woods.
Speaker 1: What what was that? It ever being tested? This is
Speaker 1: the moment. It's like, okay, yeah, this tiny man emerges
Speaker 1: from the woods. I think there was a graveyard back
Speaker 1: in the way it was.
Speaker 2: We had a path through the woods that led from
Speaker 2: our backyard the parsonage to.
Speaker 1: The church around another house. That's why I I rave
Speaker 1: you specifically.
Speaker 2: I was wearing flip flops, which I never did and
Speaker 2: don't really to this day.
Speaker 1: And I was so appalled when.
Speaker 2: I looked down at my own feet at how long
Speaker 2: my toenails were. And I really am glad though that
Speaker 2: that's our first interaction.
Speaker 1: It was a good one. It actually kind of was
Speaker 1: a precursor to your relationship. Yeah, looking after each other's hygiene. Yeah,
Speaker 1: person my collar before I leave the room. So John,
Speaker 1: you audition for the band.
Speaker 2: You you get the gig and we start to assemble
Speaker 2: the rest of the pieces of the band, and one
Speaker 2: of those very important pieces was great Orboski, which.
Speaker 1: Was only like twenty minutes later. Your audition came in.
Speaker 1: Were you were correct me for wrong? This is my
Speaker 1: vision of you. Greg. You had a purple polo and
Speaker 1: and cargo shorts, pink polo and Camo shorts, close Camo shorts,
Speaker 1: Adita's T shirt, Armani exchange in jersey and.
Speaker 6: Fun fact, I don't know when this episode airs, but
Speaker 6: it is twenty one years ago to day that auditioned
Speaker 6: that I auditioned way twenty one years ago to day, and.
Speaker 1: We can buy you alcohol. Brought you, Greg, and we
Speaker 1: brought you this actually got you this big edible thank you.
Speaker 2: But you also have a weird interaction with one of
Speaker 2: us from that day. Oh it was you, Well, I
Speaker 2: thought it was Kevin.
Speaker 1: For those for those of you who are the girlfriend
Speaker 1: to this very that was you. Was very telling about
Speaker 1: the interactions with I, Greg, Greg, who's you? Because people
Speaker 1: are listening to this podcast, you listen to it.
Speaker 7: It was one of the Jonas brothers.
Speaker 1: No, it was Nick.
Speaker 6: So I learned two songs on the spot, it was
Speaker 6: I what I am in time for me to fly?
Speaker 6: And then it was the second half of the audition.
Speaker 6: I kind of realized was seeing if we get along.
Speaker 6: So we went outside and just talked for a bit,
Speaker 6: and then Nick was chemistry on the chemistry exam.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nick was thrown out chemistry.
Speaker 7: Nick was like do you have a girlfriend? I guess.
Speaker 6: We were also like, you know, are you are you
Speaker 6: willing to kind of twelve years old? Yeah, willing to
Speaker 6: leave your house, uh for years at a time and
Speaker 6: go on tour? And I said no, and then I
Speaker 6: said do you? And Nick was like no, the label,
Speaker 6: the record label won't allow us to have girlfriends.
Speaker 1: Who are you serious? He's like, no, roasted one, that's beautiful.
Speaker 2: The real questions should not have been you know, do
Speaker 2: you have a girlfriend? Do you know how to travel?
Speaker 2: Like as an adult because we were all children, do
Speaker 2: you how.
Speaker 1: Do you know how to do? Also was no Greg

Speaker 1: bus can of spaghettio.
Speaker 7: So garb Yeah, it was a aluminum can.
Speaker 1: We can we can break that open? If you want
Speaker 1: to wait on Jack first? Jack first, Well, we will
Speaker 1: say then many years later I was ten years later,

Speaker 1: how much does a cardinal milk cost? One yearanks Giving? Thanksgiving? Sorry,
Speaker 1: I was getting my dates back. I had my days
Speaker 1: backward in the edible arrangements to be careful. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: many many, many many years later, Thanksgiving Day, your mom
Speaker 1: dropped you off? Yes, and I think you said by mom,
Speaker 1: I see you, see you later, see you later. And
Speaker 1: such a surfer you You went on to be our
Speaker 1: our touring drummer. Yeah, and today's it's been it's been
Speaker 1: a good run and it's been over. That was twenty
Speaker 1: some years, twenty years this year.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I didn't know any of you guys, and you
Speaker 8: guys were all kind of going already.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Shout out to Alex the Noise for being an awesome
Speaker 8: dude and awesome drummer too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, we love him. He quit when he quit, and
Speaker 1: we got you. So yeah, everything worked out. I remember
Speaker 1: my first interaction with Jack.
Speaker 3: We were in Orlando, walking around downtown Orlando, because that's
Speaker 3: what someone does in Orlando. We were like going to Starbucks're
Speaker 3: going to Starbucks? And I asked you on this on
Speaker 3: the slide like do you drink beer?
Speaker 1: And you went didn't.
Speaker 3: I could see your face, not sure how you should
Speaker 3: answer this, knowing that we were both under twenty one
Speaker 3: and you're like, drink responsibility everyone.
Speaker 1: You looked at me and said.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I went sweet, me too. But no one
Speaker 3: can know that was our interaction together. We were all
Speaker 3: these for like.
Speaker 2: Questions going back to the Thanksgiving date pickup that we
Speaker 2: played a show in Pennsylvania the next day, the next
Speaker 2: day in Pittsburgh, not on Thanksgiving. Yeah, no, you guys
Speaker 2: would be diabolical.
Speaker 8: You guys did the parade, did a lot of die
Speaker 8: Thanksgiving parade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 8: We worked and then I met you guys that night,
Speaker 8: and then we drove to Pittsburgh overnight.
Speaker 2: And you showed up to our house in Little Falls,
Speaker 2: New Jersey, which was a very very nice home. But yeah,
Speaker 2: was was you know, we were in a bad financial spot.
Speaker 7: It was the four of you guys in one bedroom.
Speaker 2: If I recall correctly, we had invested, you know, far
Speaker 2: more money into the band or our dad had than
Speaker 2: we had, and I'm sure it was probably a strange
Speaker 2: thing to get there and see the duality big word. Sorry,
Speaker 2: duality of this little house and little Falls, New Jersey
Speaker 2: and all of us kind of crammed into it, and
Speaker 2: then this giant tour bus next to it, and that
Speaker 2: was sort of summed up.
Speaker 1: That square footage probably was almost comparable. That was a
Speaker 1: small house. We had more room individually on that tour bus.
Speaker 1: And and now you.
Speaker 2: Know, we should talk about how we all still worked again. Jack,
Speaker 2: obviously you're still playing with us every night.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. We love you.
Speaker 2: Greg is the head of creative and helps us basically
Speaker 2: build out everything from A and R for our music,
Speaker 2: to song choice to mixes and all the things and
Speaker 2: just bigger creative conversations at a high level. And John
Speaker 2: Taylor is literally our agent music not acting music agent.
Speaker 2: I read your scripts, but yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite part about script reading? An agent?
Speaker 5: Working with you guys, that's my favorite part about being
Speaker 5: an agent. No, but my favorite part about being an
Speaker 5: agent is I like to say the agency is a half.
Speaker 1: A phone call away from anything.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people that's in a building where
Speaker 5: if you need something from someone, you can get a
Speaker 5: hold of anyone at any time.
Speaker 1: I love it. And no ideas, no idea is too big?
Speaker 1: We do it? Is that John Taylor or Ari say
Speaker 1: that you know it comes down? Okay? Do you bring
Speaker 1: a paintball gun to the office? No, okay, I'm chilled out.
Speaker 1: What's your morning routine look like at the office. I
Speaker 1: just want to like a full visual. You walk in,
Speaker 1: you got your coffee waiting. It's like, what's it look like?
Speaker 5: I get there pretty early and just candidly. I do
Speaker 5: an alcoholics anonymous meeting from eight to nine on zwing
Speaker 5: up my desk. I'll be great, You're soberthday, congratulations, and
Speaker 5: so I get my mind right and then people start
Speaker 5: to come in around them between eight and nine, and
Speaker 5: then we're off to the races.
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time on the phone. That's
Speaker 1: not a meme. Agents on the phone a lot, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're a call away of coffee, good pretty decent coffee,
Speaker 1: not on your level, not on our level. Ta's coffee
Speaker 1: or you make your own, or downstairs has good coffe. Coffee.
Speaker 2: JT during COVID was my barista. Yeah, cyber and coffee.
Speaker 2: I'm finding it hard to drink coffee as the older
Speaker 2: I get. Man, I'm thirty three, as you know, of course,
Speaker 2: almost thirty four and I don't think I can drink
Speaker 2: coffee anymore.
Speaker 1: It's over. I think it's over. My relationship with coffee
Speaker 1: has come to an end after a good, solid run.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a tragedy. Twenty years it.
Speaker 7: Was red Bull first, that's coffee.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work. Today.
Speaker 2: I had a coffee on the plane and it got
Speaker 2: me jacked up again. It felt crazy, So I'm shifting.
Speaker 2: There's been you heard it here first, which is another
Speaker 2: chance for an ad than it once peptides peptiz I
Speaker 2: did that.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I'm blinding that green tea is a better
Speaker 1: caffeine source for me. Doesn't green tea? I could be
Speaker 1: wrong here, have more caffeine.
Speaker 2: It's the it's the bean of the coffee bean that
Speaker 2: I'm kind of at war with it.
Speaker 1: It's a steadier it's a steadier caffeine. But he also
Speaker 1: only drinks iced americanos. So if we're going to get
Speaker 1: in the coffee debate, maybe you're drinking the wrong coffee.
Speaker 1: It would be my argument. I'll try it one more time.
Speaker 1: There's a great barista gonna at the show today. You
Speaker 1: should try his coffee. I'll give it you try not
Speaker 1: before the show if you're having a hard time. Look
Speaker 1: who's talking. Don't you have like two Americans and in
Speaker 1: the GC me having an issue.
Speaker 5: Yes, I support you doing whatever you need to do
Speaker 5: to feek you in your body that.
Speaker 1: You appreciate it. Facts. Okay.
Speaker 2: So something interesting about Greg Garbowski is that he as
Speaker 2: we went before I can remember anything, and before you
Speaker 2: guys came on, we were talking about how the three
Speaker 2: of us have different versions of a lot of stories
Speaker 2: that we've all been a part of. Is there a
Speaker 2: particular story or thing that we all look at and say, oh,
Speaker 2: this happened this way, it happened this way. But you
Speaker 2: know the truth about because you don't forget anything, is
Speaker 2: there I feel like you guys get your dates pretty wrong?
Speaker 1: Like you guys, there's like a black hole.
Speaker 7: We were five years ago. I'm like, that was fifteen
Speaker 7: years ago.
Speaker 1: I just said Jack was many years. It took him
Speaker 1: many years later he joined the band. That's insane.
Speaker 7: It is there one particular story? I mean, where where do.
Speaker 1: We write much better? For instance? Or where where do
Speaker 1: we write now? Games?
Speaker 7: Games? We wrote?
Speaker 2: Before you answer, where do we write it? Joe Bob
Speaker 2: Mason's living room.
Speaker 1: That's how I remember it, Kevin, I wasn't there clip
Speaker 1: it me neither.
Speaker 7: That's correct.
Speaker 1: We wrote it in the grand piano in the living room.
Speaker 7: August of two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: What was the date? You know it? It's August it
Speaker 1: was something.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's very close. Yeah, I think you're right because
Speaker 6: it was the Jesse McCartney tours.
Speaker 1: A day off the Jesse McCartney tour. There you go.
Speaker 1: I wasn't sleep next to you that night in bed.
Speaker 7: I slept in a bunk bed, I think with alex
Speaker 7: noise in the room, in the room, I.
Speaker 1: Thought, I see my memory? Was it you and I
Speaker 1: shared a bit?
Speaker 3: I will say, I give you so much incredible like
Speaker 3: credit to stick around with us for so many years
Speaker 3: when we obviously had a financial issues and other things, and.
Speaker 1: We were like, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 3: There's the holiday in on Route three forty six, Route
Speaker 3: three right by the little falls.
Speaker 1: That's the one that you guys stayed at, right, I
Speaker 1: would stay there from time to time. I stayed on couch. Right.
Speaker 3: The fact you're in a band, being paid as a musician,
Speaker 3: and like living on.
Speaker 1: Being paid is being paid? Well, Yeah, okay, so said.
Speaker 2: Sometimes show of appreciation for all of sacrifice and staying
Speaker 2: by your side through all of the craziness, we got
Speaker 2: you beautiful.
Speaker 1: Tends to give those out for business relationships. That's an
Speaker 1: important business interesting. You know what they say, you got
Speaker 1: to learn how to golf in business. Yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: be good. Half half a phone call away from medical arrangement.
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. I know, I maybe it was. I
Speaker 1: just don't remember being there. Maybe I just don't remember it.
Speaker 1: I think you were publishing on the song. Now I
Speaker 1: was there, you were there. Now you were there.
Speaker 8: I remember you saying like just a couple of days ago,
Speaker 8: like you don't remember like almost anything.
Speaker 1: I have like very big gaps in my memory. Why
Speaker 1: do you think that is trauma? I'm actually not kidding,
Speaker 1: Like I've unpacked, so we don't think you're kidding. I've
Speaker 1: unpacked it with my therapist.
Speaker 3: There's like I think so much was going on and
Speaker 3: I wanted to like I was fighting against the machine
Speaker 3: for so bad, like being at that age where I
Speaker 3: felt like I was older and I should be like
Speaker 3: able to go do whatever.
Speaker 1: I want to be.
Speaker 3: I would theoretically be in college. That was my argument
Speaker 3: to my parents constantly, which was like the machine No
Speaker 3: no no, like the Jonas Brothers, where everything had to
Speaker 3: be In my opinion, I had to live the same
Speaker 3: life as like a twenty one year old that I
Speaker 3: was living a like a sixteen year old's life.
Speaker 2: And we talked about getting our dentists on the pod,
Speaker 2: but I think we should get our therapists on they
Speaker 2: should all that would be great self chat compare.
Speaker 1: I was constantly anytime I'm on Zoom with her, I
Speaker 1: like my goal and I think Greg and I we
Speaker 1: spoke about this. You can get your therapists to laugh
Speaker 1: you feel like you did something like really like a
Speaker 1: big achievement, or if I can figure something about her
Speaker 1: personal life. I know this is not why therapy exists.
Speaker 1: And trust me, I also get therapies and it's great
Speaker 1: and I love it. Shout out mental health, but like, okay,
Speaker 1: well you know, you know, you don't have nothing to
Speaker 1: talk about it. And also I saw like she had
Speaker 1: like a banner from a marathon. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's a runner, and I'd like try to sneak that
Speaker 1: into the conversation. That is, you know, as a parent,
Speaker 1: you get it. Why are you trying to make your
Speaker 1: therapists laugh? Are you trying to humanize your therapist to
Speaker 1: make it more on your same level? I'm a Leo.
Speaker 1: It's a little piece. It's a little Leo code and
Speaker 1: it's will people please? You know?
Speaker 2: But you.
Speaker 7: Okay?
Speaker 1: That is wild. You can learn something about your therapist
Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't know, there's like I can't remember.
Speaker 1: Everybody remember that.
Speaker 2: If you also have weird things of trying to get
Speaker 2: your therapists to laugh, or if you're out the personal life,
Speaker 2: you can tell us at the at the at Hey
Speaker 2: Jonas podcast.
Speaker 1: Make me feel seen.
Speaker 2: Wan want to hear about your relationship with your therapists
Speaker 2: and and weird stuff too, because it's.
Speaker 1: Important share a therapist.
Speaker 5: But hey, we used to we used to call away.

Speaker 1: a small talk with your mouth wide open with tools
Speaker 1: in it. I play golf with my dentist. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: lovest I play golf with your dentist. Yeah, we're talking about.

Speaker 5: I also going to say it's like thirteen or fourteen
Speaker 5: hours a day, so I don't pull that up because
