1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation with Jonesy.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: You know, Michael Bouble has been selling out shows in

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: Australia for twenty years. So great news. He's going to

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: be touring again as in Australia in November and December.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: He's got a new album out. What a thrill.

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 3: Michael boubla, Hello, Well, you guys look so fantastic. I

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 3: hope when you were on the way of the studio

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 3: the people sign you on the street said damn, you

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: made my day.

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 4: You look so good.

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: Well, that is so nice of you to say. And

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: after two years.

13
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: Of coming, I'm going to get a compliment back to Michael.

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: Because the zoom always looks incredible.

15
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but you look at his little face.

16
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: Oh he looks he looks mud.

17
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: You look great and we're.

18
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: Going to see you in the flesh and this is

19
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: what's been great. I know many countries around the world

20
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: have had a hard time. Australia's been in this long

21
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: lockdown and seeing you again makes us feel that we're

22
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 2: coming back to life again. We can't wait to see you.

23
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 4: Same here are you kidding me?

24
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 3: My whole family, we can't wait to come, my kids

25
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: and my wife. This is I know it's work, but this,

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: this is like a vacation that they've been. They don't

27
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: shut up about this. They've been really excited. So we're

28
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 3: coming home.

29
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: Well, look, congratulations too, that you're about to become a

30
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: father for the fourth time. Just traveling with potentially four

31
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: and already three make it that much harder.

32
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 4: I think two. I realized two was hot. One. I

33
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: thought one.

34
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 3: I was like, what are parents complaining about? With one,

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: this isn't that hard. And then the second came and

36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, this is way that's definitely more difficult.

37
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 4: And then with three. I didn't even know the difference.

38
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: Between two and three because that was just crazy. But

39
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 3: I figured the four, five, and six will be just

40
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 3: the same.

41
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 5: Because four changes the dynamic because you've got to get

42
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 5: another car. You've got to get a bigger car for

43
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 5: four because there's six of you.

44
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, I can't.

45
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: The problem is you guys, it's I just don't have control.

46
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: My wife is so sexy. I just wanted to do

47
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: it all the time.

48
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: So the minute you'll stop, will think what's happened there?

49
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: What's happened?

50
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: Then? What's wrong with this guy? His wife doesn't find

51
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: him attractive anymore.

52
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: You've released a new album High this year. The album

53
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: includes arrangements of Paul McCartney's My Valentine, produced by Paul McCartney.

54
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 2: You've collaborated with Willie Nelson for a cover of Crazy.

55
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: Despite your incredible level of fame, do you still have

56
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: pinch me moments that you get to work with artists

57
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: like that?

58
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 3: Of course I have pinched me moments. I have pinched

59
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: me moments every single day, every day, you know, like

60
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: every day I can't believe that this is my life.

61
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: And I have just moments where I'm just alone in

62
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: the car and I think, I can't believe I tricked

63
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: this many people into thinking I had talent for twenty years,

64
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And then I secretly think, O,

65
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: how stupid are those people?

66
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: Say that out loud? Don't say it out loud. Don't

67
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: do an interview when you say that.

68
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 5: I say that, you just said it's what's it like?

69
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 5: Say you're sitting in a room with Paul McCartney. That

70
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 5: would be cond of surreal, wouldn't it. Order you just

71
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 5: sort of take it for granted now.

72
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 4: No, I think, you know, I feel like he's such

73
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: a cool dude, and so is Willie Nelson.

74
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: And you know what, I feel like, I'm pretty comfy

75
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: in my skin and in my life, and I obviously

76
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: have a great amount of respect and reverence for those

77
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: kind of gentlemen, and it just.

78
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: Meant a lot to me.

79
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: It was overwhelming to me, and the fact that I thought, Wow,

80
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: here's these guys that are my musical heroes and they

81
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: trust me, you know, they trust me with their art, and.

82
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: I just thought it was really cool. And of course,

83
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: you know what you learn.

84
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: You just learned so much, almost by osmosis. When you

85
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: sit with someone like Sir Paul, who's obviously done this

86
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: for so long and done it at such a high level,

87
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: you just learn a lot, and you learn a lot

88
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: and more than anything, you just go and look and

89
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: he's still abute. He's got all of the success, all

90
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: this stuff, and he's still this real kind, inquisitive, generous,

91
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: you know, empathetic man.

92
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 4: And I think you know what they're that you don't

93
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: have to be a jerk.

94
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: You were one of the first in a long time.

95
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: Or you've made jazz, you've brought that into popular culture

96
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: for a whole new generation.

97
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 5: Notice Samanda's doing jazz hands as she said, jazz, Well,

98
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 5: what are the chances?

99
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: And now, lady ga guy, I know you had lunch

100
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: with her recently, she's sort of embarking on a new

101
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: jazz phase of her career. A lot of this is

102
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: attributable to you, you think, so, yes, you own it, Yes,

103
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: and you're still.

104
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: I loved it. I would like my eagle loves hearing that.

105
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: I know it's not what's on the radio, and I

106
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: have to I rate pop songs to kind of co

107
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 3: habitat with that side of the music world and pop.

108
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: But how how.

109
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: Weird that for this music that isn't really you know,

110
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: looked at as modern music, it is still so much

111
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: a part of our of the fabric of our life.

112
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: It's in every TV commercial and movie and soundtrack. And

113
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: for people that say, well, I don't like that music,

114
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: it's not my cup of tea, they know it all.

115
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: They don't even know they know it all. It's just

116
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: seeped into their lives. I just realized how hard it

117
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 3: is for me not to swear when I'm talking to you.

118
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: What do you mean, isn't that shirt that shit?

119
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: No, it's it's not, it's not It's just that when

120
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: I speak. I've been off for a while and I'm

121
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: talking to my buddies here and my language is horrible.

122
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: Everything. The second word is a swear word.

123
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: It would go at odds with your persona, And like,

124
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: I look at you.

125
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 5: You've got the Vancouver Giants, So you own a hockey side.

126
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 5: Do you own that app right the whole side? Because

127
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 5: that would be kind of expensive. But I would imagine

128
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 5: especially for the dental do you have a dental.

129
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 4: Plan that it's crazy.

130
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Daniel would be crazy.

131
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 4: That's a big part of it.

132
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: I am a co owner, and I would be called

133
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: the minority owner because I own less than the majority owner.

134
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: Okay, but the.

135
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 3: Truth is, I love I love sports, love sports, love

Speaker 4: I love playing with my kids.

Speaker 3: For me to be part of a sport that'll have

140
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: so much on a grassroots levels, it's kind of awesome.

141
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: If you stop the urges, well, you could work out

142
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 5: your own hockey side.

143
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: There, Like you know, you can make your own I can't.

144
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 5: You're going to stop the urges, Michael, It's always great

145
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,800

153
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: Are the tickets left?

154
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: I would imagine no.

155
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: I would imagine no.

156
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: I would imagine then.

157
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 3: I'm doing an interview, so there's probably tickets left, which

158
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 3: has been crushing for me a way.

159
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320
