Speaker 2: We're about to see how little personality Joe actually has.
Speaker 4: This is going to be an extremely unfunny episode.
Speaker 2: How'd you feel the weekend went? I felt it was great?
Speaker 2: What else happened this weekend?

Speaker 3: song please don't burn the City of our song.
Speaker 1: That was just it's just a reminder of what was illegal.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: Speaking of uh burning CDs, we did quite a bit
Speaker 2: of that with our guests.
Speaker 1: Today, we have.
Speaker 2: Our first ever repeat guests, Double Down. They are some
Speaker 2: of our closest friends. They are full of memories of
Speaker 2: their time when they were the Og Band. Uh once
Speaker 2: once was We'll always be, will always be. But we
Speaker 2: felt like the first episode with them was a bit soft. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was like a first date.
Speaker 1: It felt kind of weird.
Speaker 3: We all left there being like, yo, I like you,
Speaker 3: but I feel like you didn't get like Yeah, I
Speaker 3: felt like I don't know. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 3: ready for a second date. So this is we're giving
Speaker 3: him another shot. But they apparently have come.
Speaker 2: They've come ready with lots of stories, never before heard story.

Speaker 2: I'd hit a clapping sound board, but I don't have it,
Speaker 2: so we're going to put it in the edit. Every
Speaker 2: time I do this, I am giving the producer's freedom
Speaker 2: to come up with any sound.
Speaker 5: So I like that one.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I just imagine.
Speaker 2: What do you think it was that Joe became unfunny?
Speaker 2: When did he lose his what year?
Speaker 5: I think you're just born with it.
Speaker 1: From a fee to a fee. I would say that
Speaker 1: media and the comedians you guys watching at home.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Greg has been funny for quite a while. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Jack Jack guy in the band guys fluctuate.
Speaker 3: We're talking about your first visit on the Hey Jones
Speaker 3: pod and how we felt like the first episode was
Speaker 3: like a first day with you guys. It kind of
Speaker 3: was like, huh, not good enough for a second. I'll
Speaker 3: tell you that much, so we're giving you another shot.
Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense. That's great.
Speaker 1: Thanks. I thought it was. I think it was great.
Speaker 2: It was a good I'm just trying to keep him
Speaker 2: on the hot seat. It was a good first try.
Speaker 2: It was a good first try. We all left going
Speaker 2: we could do better. Like John, you told like three
Speaker 2: or four stories as we were walking away from the
Speaker 2: podcast going to sound check that day.
Speaker 1: That or gold that you didn't share. Yeah, we got
Speaker 1: a vault.
Speaker 5: What do we remember?
Speaker 2: He apparently doesn't remember anything. He's been saying that a
Speaker 2: lot recently covering his tracks in case I know a.
Speaker 1: Good I remember it all. Greg remembers every day.
Speaker 3: I remember saying that just for the viewer or listener
Speaker 3: agent height, please.
Speaker 1: My age, I'm forty four years old and I'm six
Speaker 1: foot eight. That's one of those things. It's true.
Speaker 6: I'm thirty nine years old. I had to think about that.
Speaker 6: My birthday's coming up, so please send me something, and don't.
Speaker 1: You tell me address.
Speaker 2: Where are we going to celebrate your birthday? Send them
Speaker 2: a tweet to at poop McGhee.

Speaker 6: be in Australia. We are on my birthday when I
Speaker 6: turned the Big four zero.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 4: We had a running joke the other day that we're
Speaker 4: going to celebrate your birthday with a Nick got a
Speaker 4: salad at a restaurant and it was positioned linear and
Speaker 4: it was like, let us laid out.
Speaker 2: It was positioned horizontally. It was long, so it was
Speaker 2: a long salad. It was long like dominoes.
Speaker 1: I was following along via text. It made a lot
Speaker 1: of sense to me.
Speaker 2: I will say this. We were not high when we
Speaker 2: started coming up with.
Speaker 1: This, but we were. We were in Canada.
Speaker 2: We're gonna open a restaurant. It's where everything is served
Speaker 2: left to right. It's all long. Eat a long salad.
Speaker 2: It goes like this, you eat it across left to right, it's.
Speaker 5: Going to give it.
Speaker 1: French fries that are just lined up individually, you have
Speaker 1: to eat it.
Speaker 2: What about the spaghetti and then yeah, long spaghetti with
Speaker 2: a drip of marinaro in a row, they're laid out.
Speaker 2: It's going to do well in certain places. Yeah, cities
Speaker 2: like Sioux Falls.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh my god, they'd love to eat left high
Speaker 7: concept dining.
Speaker 4: You eat and sit left to right like you like
Speaker 4: walk in, sit left to right, long Canoli's.
Speaker 1: Here's my pitch. Here's my pitch.
Speaker 3: You get a My pitch is you get a if
Speaker 3: you bring a guest and you can get through the
Speaker 3: entire dinner without them mentioning that everything's left to right
Speaker 3: and it's obviously very is all?
Speaker 1: Are you get a free meal?
Speaker 7: So explain this a little bit more for those listening
Speaker 7: at home, and because we're using our hands a bit.
Speaker 7: Is it like you are you deconstructing a hot dog
Speaker 7: or something to that effect?
Speaker 1: Is an ingredient by an Indian jump on one side.
Speaker 2: Dog is technically a long food, so would we wouldn't
Speaker 2: have it at our There are foods that are long,
Speaker 2: no foods that are not long.
Speaker 5: Long long foods the basic food.
Speaker 2: But ros already got it off the Men like the
Speaker 2: Men item.
Speaker 1: You can order it. We have lots of we don't
Speaker 1: really prefer to make it.
Speaker 2: Oh Jack, we forgot to ask your birthday and your
Speaker 2: age and your favorite.
Speaker 8: Your birthday and your age. My birthday September twentieth, nineteen
Speaker 8: eighty seven. Okay, so that makes you thirty eight years old.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 3: So John is the oldest, the eldest. Did you feel
Speaker 3: like he was always the eldest? Did he?
Speaker 1: Did he make you feel like you were younger than
Speaker 1: him when we was in the band a little bit?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like he was like older brother vibe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, John told me everything about life I did.
Speaker 2: Like Actually, John taught me a lot about life too,
Speaker 2: like what it was effectively my chaperone for a lot
Speaker 2: of the early days of touring, and he was dangerous.
Speaker 2: Teach me about conspiracy theories. He gave me hot takes
Speaker 2: on music, which was mostly you just kind of shitting
Speaker 2: on everything that wasn't sort of emo pop Jason or
Speaker 2: came out of Burke or the Beatles, came out of
Speaker 2: Burkeer the Beatles.
Speaker 1: It's true Berkeley to the Beatles. Then memoir of John Taylor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Greg was sort of more Greg and Jack was
Speaker 2: sort of more around our age, closer to our age.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, and so we did silly stuff.
Speaker 1: It was cool what happened.
Speaker 3: But I back to your point of not knowing anything.
Speaker 3: John Taylor taught you how to use microwave.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, which we mentioned in part one. We didn't get.
Speaker 7: See, this is this year we can unbock some things
Speaker 7: that we brushed over and please one.
Speaker 1: So here's the real story.
Speaker 7: Greg lovely Greg, incredible family, incredible parents. Greg is allergic
Speaker 7: to almost everything. So for one of his birthdays, I
Speaker 7: made Greg a business card that lists all of his
Speaker 7: allergies so that when he's abroad he could hand that
Speaker 7: or anywhere he could hand that to a waiter.
Speaker 1: Because I love Greg that has all of his allergies.
Speaker 7: Gifts, I'm allergic to all these things. Please give this
Speaker 7: to the death. I think I gave him five hundred
Speaker 7: of those business cards had a great cartoon version of
Speaker 7: Greg on it, the cars Dude, and so it was
Speaker 7: foods that the groove Dude approves. So Greg had never
Speaker 7: cooked food, he'd never done laundry. He went home every
Speaker 7: weekend from Seaton Hall to stay with his folks because
Speaker 7: that was a safe place to be because of the
Speaker 7: sold world's dangerous for a guy like Greg, so flash
Speaker 7: he's trying. He's trying to, you know, bring himself in
Speaker 7: and acclimate to an environment on the road, and we're
Speaker 7: helping him through that.
Speaker 1: I was maybe a little aggressive and a bit of
Speaker 1: a bull and you didn't bully him at all. No,
Speaker 1: I sure know. I come from a family of four.
Speaker 7: I'm the third of four, and I grew up in
Speaker 7: a neighborhood of the thousand people in it. And bullying
Speaker 7: is it's a little bit in there. It toughens the
Speaker 7: skin a bit, thickens it up. So Greg he takes
Speaker 7: it upon himself. He's hungry. We're on the tour bus
Speaker 7: and I watch him and I just observe, almost like
Speaker 7: a guy on a safari watching an animal who's just
Speaker 7: been born.
Speaker 1: And he reaches into the cupboard. I'm like, oh, what's
Speaker 1: he doing.
Speaker 7: We're on a tour bus, right, And he pulls a
Speaker 7: can of spaghettios out of the cupboard and he glances
Speaker 7: at the can, doesn't certainly doesn't read the instructions whatever.
Speaker 6: He opens the microwave, but I read on the can
Speaker 6: microwave for three minutes. Yes, but for some reason.
Speaker 7: There's a lawsuit into the microwave. I'm still watching it
Speaker 7: at this point. My eyebrows are up. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 7: this is good. For some reason, he doesn't press three minutes.
Speaker 7: He just hits like the you know, rapid start button whatever,
Speaker 7: and it goes for one minute.
Speaker 1: And I'm watching him and he's whoa, whoa, and the
Speaker 1: sparks start flying up. I'm like, Greg, Greg, turn the
Speaker 1: front of the mic I let him get all the.
Speaker 7: Way there, because sometimes you gotta let the kid to
Speaker 7: touch the flame before you pull him from the phone.
Speaker 2: Part of you that was was curious what would happen
Speaker 2: to him in the scenario or.
Speaker 7: Was it just a by arresting the scenario that was
Speaker 7: happening at the time was probably selfishly motivated because if
Speaker 7: the microwave broke, I wouldn't be able to microwave my
Speaker 7: four hundred Totinos pizza roles that I was gonna.
Speaker 1: Eat after the show.
Speaker 7: So h you know, because I've gone through some phases, guys,
Speaker 7: I was, I was. I was housing maybe five thousand
Speaker 7: calories of frozen food a day back then.
Speaker 6: Also, John, once on the bus you drank like ten
Speaker 6: water bottles of water in like ten minutes.
Speaker 1: I think we had to pull the bus over. It
Speaker 1: was like a bit you would do.
Speaker 5: John did this thing one time.
Speaker 2: It just went right through his body, massive amounts of
Speaker 2: liquid and as as quickly as you possibly can you
Speaker 2: and Big Rob.
Speaker 1: That was like a feat.
Speaker 7: I would be.
Speaker 1: I remember remember the red bulls. He would chug red
Speaker 1: bulls as fast as humanly possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I recall John, you housing two or
Speaker 2: three red bulls as you often did. And at this
Speaker 2: particular show while we're on tour, there was a very
Speaker 2: famous televis angelists that attended the shows, and he did
Speaker 2: the prayer at the prayer circle was the show, and
Speaker 2: your heart was pounding.
Speaker 1: I just remember looking over.
Speaker 2: At this hell of angelists and he looked at you
Speaker 2: and it was like, this person's going on stage in
Speaker 2: two minutes.
Speaker 1: And I lived to tell the story, I would be.
Speaker 7: I would be rich today in the TikTok Instagram world
Speaker 7: if I could still chug liquid siced. There's this guy
Speaker 7: who fills up a cowboy boot with stuff and just
Speaker 7: takes it down the hatch, And like I could do that,
Speaker 7: I can't.
Speaker 3: We had some legendary people in the pre show huddle,
Speaker 3: which would sometimes be a prayer, sometimes just be like
Speaker 3: a I don't know if campfire.
Speaker 2: Was a minute care living the dream. Matt Damon was
Speaker 2: one person.
Speaker 6: He joined in and closed out the Burning Up tour
Speaker 6: in Miami. Yes, he was there for prayer.
Speaker 1: Our mother really enjoyed having Matt Damon at the prayer circle.
Speaker 8: I enjoyed it too, But you're dead guy. Thank God
Speaker 8: for Barry Gibb when he was there.
Speaker 2: Came to show this family and he joined the prayer
Speaker 2: circle and he would come and in the Miami are
Speaker 2: for get Another person we had in our in our
Speaker 2: pre show huddle, which was pretty incredible for all of
Speaker 2: us because he was also just hanging out and catering
Speaker 2: one day was Paul Simon.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's John. You and I had one of our
Speaker 1: favorite nights ever his friends at the Paul Simon show
Speaker 1: at the Hollywood Bowl. Yes, yeah, that's one of my
Speaker 1: favorite memories.
Speaker 7: These are the things that would happen as a band
Speaker 7: member with Jonas brothers, and these are the things that
Speaker 7: sometimes these guys would have to miss because of how
Speaker 7: hard they were working for you guys.
Speaker 1: The fans at home.
Speaker 7: So at that point we were doing big meet and greets,
Speaker 7: and I remember your dad came and said, hey, every day,
Speaker 7: what's a big meet and greet? Like five hundred, six
Speaker 7: hundred people. It would take show, it would take hours.
Speaker 7: Because you're really gracious with your fans, you took a
Speaker 7: lot of time to really show up and connect with them.
Speaker 7: And your dad came back. We were in uh new
Speaker 7: work at P and C and your dad comes back.
Speaker 7: He said, would you mind spending some time with someone?
Speaker 7: Because the guys were tied up. He got here early
Speaker 7: and his daughter's in the meet and greet line and
Speaker 7: he didn't mention who was He's like, he's in catering.
Speaker 7: And then because you guys were tied up, I walk
Speaker 7: into catering and it's Paul Simons and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm going to hang out. And I like almost two
Speaker 7: hours with Paul Simon while you guys were in the
Speaker 7: me I walked him to front of the house and
Speaker 7: to HUTSI I took him through the back. He played
Speaker 7: some of my guitars, we walked around the stage.
Speaker 5: You didn't calm hang out with me, and Simon.
Speaker 3: Wanted to for me to be honest, I would also
Speaker 3: not be like, sorry, guys, I didn't even know who
Speaker 3: it was, and I'm a really all these years and
Speaker 3: then wow, that wasn't the only musical legend that you
Speaker 3: met throughout this process.
Speaker 1: You've got like the what's it.
Speaker 2: Called, what's the the Guy and Avengers in finish stones,
Speaker 2: you get the infinished stones of legend because Brian Wilson
Speaker 2: also come to you and said, Hey, how's music.
Speaker 7: Brian Wilson did say how's music at backstage at the hollywa.
Speaker 1: On multiple occasions.
Speaker 2: Paul McCartney was around, But I will say John and
Speaker 2: I I'm sorry, guys. We have one of the best
Speaker 2: memories of you know, meeting pretty cool people. During the
Speaker 2: Obama presidency, I was asked to be a part of
Speaker 2: the Motown tribute Facts. John accompanied me as both my friend,
Speaker 2: musical director and guitar player, and last minute they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: can you do a song for the for the luncheon
Speaker 2: before the event tomorrow night? And I'm like, uh, sure,
Speaker 2: I'll perform for Motown Legends with basically no rehears.
Speaker 7: Smokey Robinson and Barry Gordy and Michelle Obama in the
Speaker 7: front let us.
Speaker 1: Play your three thousand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're like, what if we just play the
Speaker 2: song I'm doing tomorrow night, which we've been practicing. So
Speaker 2: we played jug A Ba honey Punch, just John and acoustic,
Speaker 2: and then that night went to sound check at the
Speaker 2: White House and the next day and this is I'll
Speaker 2: land I'll land the plane soon. I remember asking John
Speaker 2: who was also there, sort of as like a management
Speaker 2: rep kind of like help you know, like what's the
Speaker 2: dress code for tonight because I don't recall like having
Speaker 2: seen that. And it was listed as right like casual
Speaker 2: or something. Yeah, it was something like cocktail casual. I
Speaker 2: don't remember it was. It was not as hard to
Speaker 2: understand language.
Speaker 4: So it's one of the garden party like wedding.
Speaker 1: Things like we don't know what it is. We realize.
Speaker 2: By the way, the wardrobe attire was for the daytime event.
Speaker 3: Oh no, the nighttime event was a practice high.
Speaker 1: White House.
Speaker 2: In the East room at the White House, Michelle Obama,
Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder, every legend you can think of the front
Speaker 2: row and I'm doing a Motown tribute with Seal, Jamie
Speaker 2: Fox and John Legend. They're all suited, booted I'm I scramble.
Speaker 2: I go to like Sears or something nearby. Just get
Speaker 2: a white button down shirt and a black tie. No
Speaker 2: jackets would fit them on stage, and just that.
Speaker 1: You looked amazing. It was ridiculous, looked amazing.
Speaker 7: And they sat me directly behind the president and the
Speaker 7: vice president. And I said to the person when they
Speaker 7: sat me, I think I'm in the wrong seat, and
Speaker 7: they were like, no, that's your seat.
Speaker 4: So you have a hard time with that stuff, like
Speaker 4: when you when you show up to an event and
Speaker 4: it's you're under dressed or you think it's going to
Speaker 4: be something.
Speaker 1: Like do you panic? Have you met nick Y? Like
Speaker 1: what kind of question is that regularly?
Speaker 4: Have you before today to say, hey, what like it
Speaker 4: just happened to me face, it's kind of happening to me.
Speaker 1: You look fantastic. It did happen to me.
Speaker 4: Before the Disney Legends thing, I had a suit with
Speaker 4: my outfit and it looked like I was like a
Speaker 4: five year old. Put on dad, let's unpack this because
Speaker 4: you were you were your little Let me see that
Speaker 4: the trailer was warm and it got hot and Kevin
Speaker 4: was injury.
Speaker 1: You were really long.
Speaker 3: I thought it looked very fashionable. Kevin did not like
Speaker 3: I knew. I've been I've been there. It's frustrating for
Speaker 3: a minute.
Speaker 1: You got to you got to recalibrate and you have
Speaker 1: to get it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah you have like you should buy like a like yeah, boxing,
Speaker 2: no jacket, no jacket, no shirt. In his case was great.
Speaker 2: In mine not so good.
Speaker 1: I remember it and I think it was great.
Speaker 7: You can find that online the PBS special. Yeah, you
Speaker 7: crushed it. It was incredible. Greg filling Games was the
Speaker 7: music director. It was a world class band. You were
Speaker 7: up there with your peers and contemporaries. You say, you
Speaker 7: were up there with a bunch of legends. You're a
Speaker 7: legend yourself, and you crushed it was amazing.
Speaker 3: Well thanks John Taylor and I also had a really
Speaker 3: good celeb highlight night. I think all of us went
Speaker 3: to go see YouTube play at the Toronto Blue Jays Stadium.
Speaker 3: We were filming Camp were filming Camp Rock Deuce at
Speaker 3: the time. I had an early morning the next day
Speaker 3: and during the show.
Speaker 2: Important to to note to you were nineteen at the time, right,
Speaker 2: I was, you were legally able to drink in Canada.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So.
Speaker 3: We were approached all of us by what was Bono's publicism,
Speaker 3: and he said, excuse me, Hi, I just want to
Speaker 3: let you guys know that Bono is going to be
Speaker 3: having a really exclusive after party and he wanted to
Speaker 3: extend it by you and the band. We'd love to
Speaker 3: see you guys there obviously is on stage, but right
Speaker 3: now you can't say hi, but he would love to
Speaker 3: say how do you guys after the show? And we're
Speaker 3: all like, oh, thank you. Now that kind of felt like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is probably not really, like it's not Bona's not
Speaker 3: really they really say an exclusive after he said exclusive
Speaker 3: VIP like slib only party. That's hilarious, And so we
Speaker 3: said some thing a I would write.
Speaker 1: So we were like one million we knowing that we
Speaker 1: had at early morning, We're like, well, like all right,
Speaker 1: let's just write this off. Is not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: So we go by the hotel, but like the whole
Speaker 3: drive back and by the way, one of the best
Speaker 3: concerts we've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Did you shave today? Yeah? I'm gonna look different now. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, so I shaved her. Well, I shaved twice. Actually
Speaker 3: I shaved a game when I got here.
Speaker 1: Shadow. So anyway, so then we get to the hotel.
Speaker 1: I remember we get on our floor at like floor fifteen.
Speaker 3: John Taylor looked at I'm I'm like, bro, the parties
Speaker 3: across the street, like we're going to the part.
Speaker 1: What if we don't go? Everyone to bed.
Speaker 3: Everyone was like, all right, we'll see in the morning,
Speaker 3: and you and I look at him like, I know
Speaker 3: it's already like eleven pm. We have to wake up early,
Speaker 3: Like I think our call time was five a am or whatever.
Speaker 3: I was like, but if, like Bono, one of my heroes,
Speaker 3: is just I had this vision of him just waiting
Speaker 3: for us, like I guess they'll never show.
Speaker 1: So Johnna is like, let's just go.
Speaker 3: So we went down walk across the street, walk in
Speaker 3: and it's kind of like empty, Like it was like
Speaker 3: people were starting to kind of like trickle in because
Speaker 3: the concert was just finishing.
Speaker 1: We got there pretty fast.
Speaker 7: That's that's what happens when you have a party that's
Speaker 7: a little too exclusive, you know, when it's all VIP celebrities,
Speaker 7: it's thin and super important.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of people around you.
Speaker 3: This is like pre Drake, So the party was not
Speaker 3: at many Toronto's Lips Drink was still into grassy at
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so then Jimmy got shot.
Speaker 2: So then about forty five minutes in, I look at John,
Speaker 2: I'm like, look, we can wait another ten minutes, but
Speaker 2: if like Bono doesn't show them, we should just.
Speaker 7: Leave quick side note there was also a hater in
Speaker 7: the room and you got to squash some beef.
Speaker 1: So don't forget about that part. That's important. I was
Speaker 1: gonna forget that, okay.
Speaker 3: Like the doors shoot open and like like it felt
Speaker 3: like a movie scene, like a mist of smoke, and
Speaker 3: Bono walks in with his shirts buttoned down to like
Speaker 3: the flask button. He's in a jean shirt and jean
Speaker 3: pants and he just has his sunglasses on.
Speaker 1: He's looking around.
Speaker 3: He's like hey, hey, yayyy and he walks stripes to us.
Speaker 1: It's just me and John sitting on a round table.
Speaker 3: He sits down right next to us and we're like ugh,
Speaker 3: and he immediately just starts talking to us for hours wherever.
Speaker 1: And he then is like, you need to meet my friend.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do it his impression. I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: even try to do impression. You need to me my friend.
Speaker 3: And Maxwell, the singer comes over and says with us,
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god. And then somebody sends him
Speaker 3: a flag and it was like an Irish or his
Speaker 3: favorite team's flag and it was like defaced, like like jokingly,
Speaker 3: like funny content, and he's like where is he?
Speaker 1: And he kids up.
Speaker 3: He's like, I'll be all right back and Colin Colin
Speaker 3: Farrell was outside apparently, and they're like best friends but
Speaker 3: also rivals of the like it's similar to Man City
Speaker 3: and Liverpool Jack and Iran City favor there's like a
Speaker 3: friendly robbery and he was like, where is he going?
Speaker 1: And he walks outside him to mess up.
Speaker 3: Colin Farrell was wild and but the highlight for me
Speaker 3: and for both of us, I guess I would say
Speaker 3: he was like not giving us like tons of amazing advice,
Speaker 3: talking about songwriting and like we're in our career. It
Speaker 3: was everything you would have dreamt of meeting one of
Speaker 3: your heroes. And yes, and then the lead singer at
Speaker 3: Snow Patrol. Two weeks before that, he there was an
Speaker 3: article where he essentially wrote something about the purity rings
Speaker 3: that we had at that time and how it was
Speaker 3: a way for us to sell music to people and
Speaker 3: to like and it was like a Disney's idea and
Speaker 3: we were.
Speaker 1: Just like dangerous.
Speaker 3: It is a marketing selling sex to young people as
Speaker 3: a marketing tool, and he thought it was like selling
Speaker 3: non sex, Yeah, non sex, and he sat down. And
Speaker 3: at this moment, I feel full of confidence because I'm

Speaker 8: I was like, where I'm not going to leave. It
Speaker 8: was at the Hollywood Bowl show. We all were going
Speaker 8: to go and then you guys went WHOA.
Speaker 5: I was like, do you.

Speaker 4: I got the opposite though, I got pulled over and
Speaker 4: I got you.
Speaker 1: Got to take it because you're Jonahs brother.
Speaker 4: I think it may have been because he was like
Speaker 4: proving a point to his state trooper friends that he
Speaker 4: pulled over a Jonah's brother and he was going to send.
Speaker 2: Me the full letter of the law. Name in badge
Speaker 2: that's three seven to two on the New Jersey No.
Speaker 2: But like he like pulled me out of the car.
Speaker 2: The whole thing it was like inspect the vehicle, you
Speaker 2: need to see.
Speaker 4: Because he I presented him with a Texas license and
Speaker 4: his whole thing was, you can't own a car in
Speaker 4: New Jersey with the Texas license, And I.
Speaker 1: Go, can you live in Jersey? Still? Yeah?
Speaker 4: But this was when I had residents in Texas and
Speaker 4: I was said, I have a home in both places,

Speaker 1: I spent six months and one day.
Speaker 4: Exactly and I said it is allowed, and then he

Speaker 2: about legal stuff.
Speaker 3: All right, guys, we're gonna do some voicemailing, uh and
Speaker 3: we'd love your your help with these.

Speaker 9: I have a terrible fear of spiders. And my husband
Speaker 9: doesn't want a pet dog, a pet pig. He want
Speaker 9: a freaking tarantula.
Speaker 1: How would you approach this?

Speaker 3: years of marriage. You don't like spiders, He doesn't want
Speaker 3: to get any other animal except a tarantula. He might
Speaker 3: not like you And yeah, that sounds crazy. I think
Speaker 3: if he gets a transula, you get whatever pet you want.
Speaker 6: Yeah, something that eats tarantula's probably, Yeah, get a snake.
Speaker 4: Thinking about the tanslo typically it's gonna stay inside the
Speaker 4: glass case.
Speaker 1: I mean, have you ever seen home alone? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Good point, I think, uh, yeah, you get whatever you
Speaker 2: want if but you can say yes to the transla.
Speaker 3: But you can get any animal you want, any animal,
Speaker 3: doesn't matter the price. You should you should retort? You
Speaker 3: should what's that word means?
Speaker 1: Retort?
Speaker 7: In other words, you should get a thing he hates. Oh,
Speaker 7: it is about compromise and retorting. Yeah, sometimes you need
Speaker 7: to just retort.
Speaker 1: Okay, next up, what do you go sonus? How are
Speaker 1: you guys?
Speaker 9: Listen? I got a buddy and he's on the call
Speaker 9: here with me. We've been we've been really good friends
Speaker 9: for over twenty five years, you know, almost best friends.
Speaker 9: We're close with each other's families. His kids call me uncle,
Speaker 9: My kids called him uncle. Uh.
Speaker 1: We look quite alike.
Speaker 9: We've always known that, but recently we were on a
Speaker 9: family vacation with our families late into the night when
Speaker 9: our kids were talking about how much he and I
Speaker 9: look alike and even act alike.
Speaker 1: Our mennerisms are the same.
Speaker 9: And you know, Jesus, like you guys are like brothers.
Speaker 9: It's like you guys are like brothers. My mom comes
Speaker 9: out and tells my buddy. She says, well, I knew
Speaker 9: your dad. This caused everyone to sort of squeal, and
Speaker 9: even the youngest kids knew what that little ellipsis after
Speaker 9: I knew might mean my mom was insinuating that her
Speaker 9: and my buddy's dad shagged in the past, and this
Speaker 9: got everyone investigating our kids, finding out timelines when it
Speaker 9: could have happened. Some timelines did add up for the possibility. Uh,
Speaker 9: there was a time where my my mom and who
Speaker 9: I have always known to be my dad were in
Speaker 9: a divorce and during that divorce, my buddy's dad was
Speaker 9: you you want to speak on this, but.
Speaker 10: Well, they were boning and there was he.
Speaker 9: We that that's the point, he was. What they were
Speaker 9: is a hotel receipt that was in the.
Speaker 10: There's a The point is I want to say to
Speaker 10: the Jonas bros. These guys are smart guys, very savvy.
Speaker 10: The obvious thing to do we take a DNA test,
Speaker 10: because because it's really clear that they were having sex
Speaker 10: at the time that you were pro created.
Speaker 9: Yes, you're jumping to a major conclusion, which is complete bullshit.
Speaker 1: Hang on a second.
Speaker 10: It doesn't mean there are some things and all of
Speaker 10: the evidence, all of the evidence backs it up.
Speaker 1: All you need to do is take the test, and
Speaker 1: you refuse to take the test.
Speaker 9: Question is why won't you, So let me speak about
Speaker 9: the details that my buddy is just harping on to
Speaker 9: believe that this is a scientific fact that we're actually
Speaker 9: actually Okay, Granted, my mom and who have always believes
Speaker 9: my dad, were in the middle of their second divorce
Speaker 9: when my buddy was in a place in West Texas
Speaker 9: where it is, we do have proof that my mom
Speaker 9: traveled to at that time.
Speaker 1: Doesn't say they hooked up. It says to my mom
Speaker 1: traveled to that place at that time.
Speaker 9: There is a quote that my buddy here likes to
Speaker 9: always say that my mom always says that her husband,
Speaker 9: the man I always believed to be my dad, said
Speaker 9: the day I was born.
Speaker 1: What's that he said?
Speaker 10: She said, come on, let's go to the hospital. She
Speaker 10: were about to give birth, and and she said, and
Speaker 10: he said said, I'm not going.
Speaker 1: To the hospital.
Speaker 10: That's not my kid, Which you told me long before
Speaker 10: ever mentioned anything to knowing about knowing Charles.
Speaker 1: That was in jest, okay, And mind you.
Speaker 10: It wasn't in jest that Now you're modifying history, your
Speaker 10: revisionist historians.
Speaker 1: Because you want this to be true. It's white part.
Speaker 9: This is what sucks about you. You're you're you're all
Speaker 9: excited about it and you and you're like, well me
Speaker 9: be excited about it, all right. You're right, if this
Speaker 9: was true, you gain't a brother, but I lose who
Speaker 9: I thought would be My dad has been my dad
Speaker 9: the last here's my life.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 10: But if that's the reason you don't want it, man,
Speaker 10: take a DNA test and that's maybe a legitimate reason,
Speaker 10: but at least it's an honest reason because you know
Speaker 10: that the evidence is there.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 10: So so I just want to ask you, guys, what
Speaker 10: would you do in this situation? We take a test,
Speaker 10: but what would you do if the guy's unwilling to
Speaker 10: take the test? What's your idea.
Speaker 9: Whether I treat you like a brother blood or not.
Speaker 9: Let's just leave it at that.
Speaker 1: Huh. I love it. You gain a dad too, by.
Speaker 5: The way, I love you and you.
Speaker 1: Alright, I leave it that hilarious? Wow, Wow, I'm blunt rotation.
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, look, you could do a DNA test consentually.
Speaker 3: You could maybe take everyone back to sceneic Prime have
Speaker 3: a holiday vacation again, and then I'll be like, hey,
Speaker 3: we're gonna play a fun game.
Speaker 2: Everybody swallowed their mouth. It's like COVID something like that
