Speaker 3: see you guys at Lakewood and wow. And my coach
Speaker 3: at the time, you know, every time you miss a
Speaker 3: practice you would have to like run like laps. And
Speaker 3: so when I came back, all the dudes have found
Speaker 3: out that i'd like skip football practice.

Speaker 1: I'm like, there's a moment I just watch your your
Speaker 1: wife and your son watching you and like, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously it's Google Goga, but he's like he knows. He's like,
Speaker 1: that's my dad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, it was. It was.

Speaker 2: to be there.
Speaker 3: And we had bought this like it's called like a
Speaker 3: a W four, like you know, like a like a
Speaker 3: kid Wagon, but they made this like limited edition like
Speaker 3: Volkswagen Bus version of it.
Speaker 2: You know, he was just riffing around this thing.
Speaker 1: It was what's that? I mean, we spoke about a
Speaker 1: little bit, but like being a dad for you, what
Speaker 1: what's been the biggest change in your life since becoming
Speaker 1: a father man? You know?
Speaker 3: I think I think that and I think present is
Speaker 3: like really the thing that I've learned the most about it,
Speaker 3: like being I find that, like even I even see
Speaker 3: this sometimes too, like I've had this happen where I
Speaker 3: still am guilty of this where I'm like with my
Speaker 3: son and I'm doom scrolling, you know, and I'll just
Speaker 3: catch myself like what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that?
Speaker 3: You know? And I'm trying to I got back from
Speaker 3: the gym not too long ago, and this is one
Speaker 3: thing that really was a revelation to me that I got.
Speaker 3: He's crawled right over to me so excited, and I
Speaker 3: pick him up and hold him for a second. I
Speaker 3: set him down because I'm trying to cook a little
Speaker 3: something real quickly, and he's crying.
Speaker 2: And then I was like, hold on, it's not give
Speaker 2: me a second.
Speaker 3: And I'm trying to cook and he's crying, and I
Speaker 3: pick it back up and I was like, all right,
Speaker 3: let daddy do something, you know, and starts crying again.
Speaker 3: And and it just dawned on me because I spell
Speaker 3: mysel getting frustrated with this like ten month old at
Speaker 3: the time, you know, and I was like, I said,
Speaker 3: you know what, I just turned the stove off, and
Speaker 3: I was like, man, that's not going to be happening forever,
Speaker 3: you know, and honestly, eating can wait.
Speaker 2: It's optional. I felt like by getting frustrated with him
Speaker 2: because I.
Speaker 3: Was hungry, it's just such as I don't know, I
Speaker 3: felt like so weird in my soul about it that
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, let's let's go sit
Speaker 3: down on the couch. Let's go play man, you know.
Speaker 3: And I think I think that the biggest thing that
Speaker 3: I've learned. And I've heard I've heard, man, my sweet
Speaker 3: friend Thomas Rhet say this all the time. He's like,
Speaker 3: no matter what, man, just just look at those kids
Speaker 3: in the eyes, man, just like make sure they know
Speaker 3: that you're there and that you're like available. And those
Speaker 3: times I find it, like, you know, I I as
Speaker 3: somebody that's always like constantly feeling like I'm not doing
Speaker 3: enough or I want to I want to be like
Speaker 3: doing more and more and more I find that sometimes
Speaker 3: when I'm with my son and he's just playing and
Speaker 3: doing his thing and I'm watching him or just watching
Speaker 3: Blueye on TV or something, I'm I'm like, this is
Speaker 3: the most deductive thing that I could be doing right now,
Speaker 3: you know, where ever, at all or for anything, and
Speaker 3: it just like it makes me feel that I want
Speaker 3: to be when I'm at my work job, or when
Speaker 3: I'm at home or wherever i'm at, I want to
Speaker 3: be where my feet are and we grounded right there
Speaker 3: where with who I am and where I am and
Speaker 3: like just present.
Speaker 1: Wow, so good, dude, let's love that lovely. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, just something to struggle with death, yeah every day? Right,
Speaker 1: Like I take those words very seriously with what you
Speaker 1: just said for sure, dude.
Speaker 3: How was it with the show when you guys were
Speaker 3: all like doing the thing when you had the reality
Speaker 3: bit going on.
Speaker 1: I didn't have kids yet, so when we did married
Speaker 1: to Jonas, it was just me and Danny and the fam.
Speaker 2: But luckily we didn't have the girls.
Speaker 1: But we kind of the minute we got pregnant actually
Speaker 1: with our first Lena, we decided not to continue because
Speaker 1: I was like, we both knew that it was a
Speaker 1: little bit too much on the family, and like it
Speaker 1: was also like we we're new to it. I'd be
Speaker 1: completely honest with you, I think we would have done
Speaker 1: it very differently now, But like it was in our
Speaker 1: actual house lit rigs like this, like in your house,
Speaker 1: and the people showing up and then just leaving the
Speaker 1: house a mess, and we were like cleaning up the
Speaker 1: house at night before we go to bed to like
Speaker 1: reset it for the next day. It was just like
Speaker 1: it was a lot. It was cool during the time,
Speaker 1: but for the time being, like it was great, but
Speaker 1: having the girls they didn't then obviously the band was
Speaker 1: broken up at the time. Then after that, so we
Speaker 1: didn't have them. They didn't see us play or even
Speaker 1: know kind of that part of my life until they
Speaker 1: were actually more a little older into everything, which was
Speaker 1: really really cool. So then they came to the twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen like obviously when the happiness begins can't happened and
Speaker 1: the reunion of everything. They came to that tour for
Speaker 1: the first time saw us perform, and I think that
Speaker 1: was like the most emotional I've ever been, just like
Speaker 1: feeling them in the room. One I never thought it
Speaker 1: was gonna happen again two and then two like that's
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's that's them there. So I totally
Speaker 1: hear you. You you and your your wife have one
Speaker 1: of the most amazing covers together. They're like kind of

Speaker 1: wear if my wife didn't pick on my clothes.
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, it's okay to like close to dress

Speaker 1: my sister? It's like sure, It's like what's her names?
Speaker 1: Like Bradon.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think we have that same experience, especially growing up
Speaker 1: like this was always blew our minds. Was like for us,
Speaker 1: you know, growing up as sports fans, and we'd go
Speaker 1: to these you know, and I get it. You know,
Speaker 1: we're now we get it more. But like we were
Speaker 1: like a quote unquote boy band. We played our instruments
Speaker 1: and wrote our songs. But like we'd go to these
Speaker 1: the whether we're on the sidelines of a game and
Speaker 1: like get on the jump tron, it's like boom, and
Speaker 1: we were like, bro, I also love this team exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so weird, but I mean it.
Speaker 1: Doesn't happen as much anymore. I think people aged out
Speaker 1: of that audience, like or the guys that are But
Speaker 1: it is funny. Every once we'd be like, yo, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan, but my cousin loves y'all. Can
Speaker 1: I get a pick? I find that hilarious. But anyway,
Speaker 1: back to your story.
Speaker 3: She was backstage, Oh yeah, yeah, you know, I mean
Speaker 3: we just you know, like I didn't my little thing.
Speaker 2: Oh there you go done? How could you see it
Speaker 2: for you? All Right?
Speaker 1: We have a few questions from some of our incredible
Speaker 1: listeners here. Okay, the first one is it's kind of
Speaker 1: I didn't even know this.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll just ask the question.
Speaker 1: Teddy loose Control was featured in the latest season of
Speaker 1: Bridgerton during a very steamy scene. I watched it, and
Speaker 1: Nick Jealous was featured in Bridgington season three to these
Speaker 1: questions are for all of you. First, what Jones for
Speaker 1: the songs deserves the Bridgerton treatment. Well, I think it's
Speaker 1: your favorite use of a song in a T show
Speaker 1: or movie. I think Teddy gave look me in the
Speaker 1: eye of the brig.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was jealous steamy in that shown.
Speaker 2: So I think it was like it was a dance.
Speaker 1: It was a sequence and it was a dance, was
Speaker 1: like it was during a ball.
Speaker 2: It was a version and watched it's great. Well then
Speaker 2: I think, well they had six or my songs, so
Speaker 2: I think I wanted you on that one. Yeah, all
Speaker 2: up in the bathtub getting it in bro. Well, I
Speaker 2: think it was like it also was like it was
Speaker 2: like a string quartet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything like it's that rendition. It's actually cool kind
Speaker 1: of I listened to. I'd like to just fell into
Speaker 1: this because we share a Spotify account, me and my
Speaker 1: my wife and a family.
Speaker 2: Sure, there's there is a lot of that.
Speaker 1: I don't listen to my I don't dress myself.
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, it's okay. You can eat your words. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 1: I got the Bridgerton soundtrack while I was sleeping on
Speaker 1: a plane randomly, and I was like, this is actually fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, there you go. You like it too.
Speaker 1: I like to see Bridgert Year three thousand, the sexualized
Speaker 1: Year two thousand version. The next question, Oh, what is
Speaker 1: your favorite use of a song in a TV show
Speaker 1: or a movie, like, like any song. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the quest, that's what they're I think they're referring.
Speaker 2: To his my song. I don't know, because I find
Speaker 2: like I think a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I find with like, so they just did
Speaker 3: like the you know, the new version of Men on Fire, right,
Speaker 3: and and and so when they sit over there like
Speaker 3: the trailer of it, and then like you know, they
Speaker 3: where they kind of do the thing where they cut
Speaker 3: your song up and they just put it in places
Speaker 3: in between like cuts of serments, and it's got these
Speaker 3: big explosions. And so I find myself trying to get
Speaker 3: into the the trailer of it, and I'm in the world,
Speaker 3: and then I hear like, you know, no, I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: And I was like, that just kind of takes me
Speaker 3: out of the world all together, you know, because I
Speaker 3: feel so close to that that I if I'm trying
Speaker 3: to get into another world of something else it can do.
Speaker 2: It pulls me.
Speaker 3: So far out of the the environment or they like
Speaker 3: the world of the song pulled me in.
Speaker 2: So I liked it, right.

Speaker 1: he's shreds.
Speaker 2: Yes or one of the what either one of them? Both?
Speaker 1: They're both great. Yeah, Ward shows are interesting. I mean
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes we've had experiences where we look
Speaker 1: at each other and we'll have a little pep talk like, Yo,
Speaker 1: let's just have fun and let's go up to people
Speaker 1: and say hi. And I love when people it's interesting
Speaker 1: when you disarm people, like going up to them and
Speaker 1: I know you're like this, You're like, yo, I love
Speaker 1: this song, I love this movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's so important to like
Speaker 3: always say the thing, you know, because I feel like
Speaker 3: I've even.
Speaker 2: Also, you know, to give that guy some slack.
Speaker 3: I've never been like I don't fuck with you to somebody,
Speaker 3: but I definitely get the like I don't want to
Speaker 3: bug them thing or the also the first thing that
Speaker 3: comes in my head, like I don't want to be
Speaker 3: like I love you, but what's what's why do I
Speaker 3: do that?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: And so I try to like just choke that back
Speaker 3: and be like, I love you. Man, I'm such a
Speaker 3: massive fan. Like it's everybody would love to hear that, right,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: That was like my biggest like lesson to myself when
Speaker 1: I was younger. We were at a showcase for like
Speaker 1: Columbia Records back in the day, and John Mayer was
Speaker 1: there and of course, like to me, that was my
Speaker 1: acoustic guitar education, you know, playing three by five was
Speaker 1: like the way I learned that a you know, metaphor
Speaker 1: and song is like what it was right, So he
Speaker 1: was there, I didn't say hi, and I regretted it.
Speaker 2: Like the biggest I was like, I'll never do that again.
Speaker 1: So like my entire existence after that was just like
Speaker 1: if I wanted to talk to somebody, I was going
Speaker 1: to go and mediately up to them. So it taught
Speaker 1: me a good lesson. I find it war shows to
Speaker 1: be It's definitely like the social anxiety gets at an
Speaker 1: all time high. Absolutely, I'm like too conscious of of
Speaker 1: what everyone's thinking. But I think that everyone is doing that.
Speaker 1: My wife the other day, we're actually the Oscars and
Speaker 1: she was presenting and she was kind of stressed about it.
Speaker 1: I was like, just remember that everybody else here is
Speaker 1: also stressed about being here, no matter who they are.
Speaker 1: Everyone took a while to like everybody ready for this
Speaker 1: dress rolled in.
Speaker 2: No one's eating all day.
Speaker 1: There's always like, oh you're gonna there's a food when
Speaker 1: you get there, and then there's never food.
Speaker 2: There's like or herbs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not enough food. It's like a piece of
Speaker 1: warm sushi. Yeah, Thomas, that sat out in the sun
Speaker 1: all day cheese.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's never enough food. No, it's not a chow beforehand, Bro.
Speaker 1: I mean also pretty exciting that we're going to be
Speaker 1: perform with you today. Yes, technically when this air is
Speaker 1: it'll be past so great performing with you a long
Speaker 1: time coming. But it's honestly like such a dream. And
Speaker 1: we spoke about it. I was like literally like because
Speaker 1: we have to get you at our show now.
Speaker 2: We were trying a.
Speaker 1: Few times, tourists weren't weren't lining up. You love touring?
Speaker 2: I do, yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: Do you find yourself now more like the finish line
Speaker 1: is just getting home? Yeah? I think it because with
Speaker 1: a little one like how do you stay consistent? Like
Speaker 1: what is your routine that keeps you like healthy on
Speaker 1: the road?
Speaker 3: Man? Cardio like I've been doing we we I got
Speaker 3: into boxing about a year ago. That's been like something
Speaker 3: that's really Cardio is always good. Try to get steam, Bro,
Speaker 3: Steam is like you know, I think the beautiful thing.
Speaker 2: Is like especially out here in the desert. Yeah, well but.
Speaker 3: So really it's acid reflux and steam are the only
Speaker 3: things that actually touched the vocal cords.
Speaker 2: So you know, when you're like swallow and tea or whatever.
Speaker 3: Your little tongue lays over your vocal cords, so that
Speaker 3: helps the throat. But the only things that really hydrate
Speaker 3: the vocal cords is so it's it's steam room is
Speaker 3: Do you.
Speaker 2: Say that one of those things? I didn't know that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you want those things, Joe that like, Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 2: the best. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Like the vapor pise, the vaporiser thing. Yeah, you're your
Speaker 1: your stage bong, my stage bong. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: a real thing, but I will say that I heard
Speaker 1: that Amy Grant, the icon Amy Grant used to eat
Speaker 1: laced potato chips where she heard that it's like glycerings
Speaker 1: with throat, and actually I've done it. It does work.
Speaker 1: It might just be a placebo thing, but I think
Speaker 1: it's great. She knows what she can sing.
Speaker 3: Also tequila helps as well, Yeah, said I do. Have
Speaker 3: you ever had to I mean, I'm sure you guys like.
Speaker 1: Had to drive before show. We've had to do that yet, but.
Speaker 2: Ever I had to have the fucking rock dot com
Speaker 2: and give you the we've had we've had.
Speaker 1: My peace smelled very like intense the other day and
Speaker 1: we were in the bathroom breaking for the show, and
Speaker 1: it's like, whoa something, I'm like, oh, just too clear.
Speaker 2: We weren't like in the bathroom together.
Speaker 1: It was multi there's like multiple stalls, we're flying, multiple
Speaker 1: just crossing.
Speaker 3: Okay, you guys still take baths together like five year
Speaker 3: olds and we still live.
Speaker 1: In the same house with the firepole. Actually yeah, but
Speaker 1: yeah it's twelve. Twelve will do that too, dude.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's like the perfect band aid.
Speaker 3: I know they'll always be like, you know, don't go
Speaker 3: too hard because it's just a temporary band aid. But
Speaker 3: I'm still just going overseeing.
Speaker 1: Do you any like any show rituals or there's certain
Speaker 1: things that they are like superstitious about before we go on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well so we we all like when I was
Speaker 3: in high school, my a theater teacher had taught us,
Speaker 3: like you'd always like do like a pinky almost kind
Speaker 3: of thing with everybody, and so like.
Speaker 2: I noticed that with the you sing with your wife,
Speaker 2: is that part of that?
Speaker 3: Well not that, but before show, we all do that,
Speaker 3: and so we all like and and now like every
Speaker 3: one of us has added like our own kind of
Speaker 3: kind of secret handshake to it too. So now there's
Speaker 3: like all of us have like seventy of them that
Speaker 3: were doing like prior to a Yeah, it's it's like
Speaker 3: a twenty minute order.
Speaker 2: It's like a pre show. Yeah, dabs ups.
Speaker 3: So we're all doing and I like I always find that,
Speaker 3: like you know, if if something ever goes wrong, I'm
Speaker 3: blaming on like, oh I missed that person, you know, which,
Speaker 3: which is like never it probably isn't the case, but
Speaker 3: I think I think I'm like it's it's I I
Speaker 3: find that I can't recover as well after like a
Speaker 3: mistake if I have, that just stays more interesting.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're I will say, like live, you are
Speaker 1: going your your vocal range is so impressive.
Speaker 2: I'm screening. How do you like?
Speaker 1: So, how do you when you have three four shows back?
Speaker 1: Like right now, we just got off a Vegas run.
Speaker 1: We did four nights but we had one day off,
Speaker 1: but it's three shows in a row and the Vegas
Speaker 1: you know, just try out here or how do you
Speaker 1: keep how do you keep yourself going?
Speaker 2: We try we try not you got the steam, but yeah,
Speaker 2: we try not to do that.
Speaker 1: And do you build that list to make sure it happens?
Speaker 3: Like yeah, I mean sometimes I'll like maybe pull a
Speaker 3: song that's you know, like I'm not doing that tonight,
Speaker 3: that's not happening, or like you know, like but I
Speaker 3: we haven't done like like I won't do a tour
Speaker 3: with like I remember when we first of touring, it
Speaker 3: was like we do these like six in a rows
Speaker 3: and shit, you know what I mean, and these like
Speaker 3: small clubs and just screaming at the top of my
Speaker 3: lungs for an hour and a half. And I went
Speaker 3: through a phase where I didn't have a false set
Speaker 3: up for like two and a half years. I really
Speaker 3: just was so cooked and it wasn't until we finally
Speaker 3: like when when my son was born, I took like
Speaker 3: a month off and just like was there for that
Speaker 3: whole situation, and so like it came back and I
Speaker 3: recovered and I was like ah, and like, but I
Speaker 3: had not stopped toured until like for like four years,
Speaker 3: and I just didn't have like my false SETU would
Speaker 3: be the first thing to go every time I'd get
Speaker 3: out on the road and then it would just it
Speaker 3: was gone for I like literally almost three years.
Speaker 2: I just couldn't do anything false ott wise, and so.
Speaker 3: Then I was like over correcting and screaming some of
Speaker 3: those notes and only causing further damage.
Speaker 2: And so I just, yeah, I try.
Speaker 3: We try our best now to schedule more off days
Speaker 3: and stuff, and like, if we're doing a tour, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm not doing three in a rows are just so brutal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're definitely looking at how we tour and like
Speaker 1: how we keep home life more stable. And I mean
Speaker 1: we've been talking. We're uh, a Teddy Jonas tour has
Speaker 1: got to happen, actually got to happen. Sign me up
