0:00:23.290 --> 0:00:29.700
<v Speaker 2>I start by saying, as always, so well-dressed. Like, just

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:31.780
<v Speaker 2>an absolute fashion icon you are.

0:00:32.580 --> 0:00:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much. I appreciate you, my brother.

0:00:35.020 --> 0:00:37.900
<v Speaker 2>Now, I remember the last time you were here in Australia,

0:00:38.820 --> 0:00:41.500
<v Speaker 2>you came in for an interview, and you had a

0:00:41.540 --> 0:00:44.860
<v Speaker 2>little light, a man who held a light for you,

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.140
<v Speaker 2>so you were always lit at the right angle. Are

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:50.900
<v Speaker 2>you bringing him back with you this time?

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>No, there's been a budget cut, so I was going

0:00:53.700 --> 0:00:55.420
<v Speaker 1>to ask you, is it sunny.

0:00:55.220 --> 0:00:56.220
<v Speaker 3>Over there because.

0:00:57.070 --> 0:00:59.710
<v Speaker 1>We don't got the lighting guy anymore, so now we

0:00:59.730 --> 0:01:01.030
<v Speaker 1>just got to use the sun.

0:01:01.050 --> 0:01:03.190
<v Speaker 3>We can only shoot in the daytime.

0:01:03.510 --> 0:01:06.460
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay. Look, it sounds like the economy is crunching.

0:01:06.819 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 2>It's affecting everyone, even Jason Derulo. No, I think you're

0:01:12.580 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>in China at the moment, and you're going to be

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>here in Oz next week, yeah?

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.610
<v Speaker 3>Yes, sir. Yeah, man, I'm super excited.

0:01:19.630 --> 0:01:22.110
<v Speaker 1>It feels like it's been forever since I toured Oz,

0:01:22.750 --> 0:01:24.670
<v Speaker 1>so I'm looking forward to it, man.

0:01:24.690 --> 0:01:25.810
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be pretty mad.

0:01:26.100 --> 0:01:29.420
<v Speaker 2>We love, we, you know, Australia loves, uh, Jason Derulo, man,

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.670
<v Speaker 2>you have so many songs. I'm sorry. Sorry.

0:01:33.709 --> 0:01:33.949
<v Speaker 3>Sorry.

0:01:34.170 --> 0:01:36.750
<v Speaker 2>I say that like, you don't know, but like you

0:01:36.770 --> 0:01:41.890
<v Speaker 2>have so many songs, so many bangers. Like when you

0:01:41.910 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 2>put together, when you put together a set list, how

0:01:44.060 --> 0:01:46.020
<v Speaker 2>do you pick the good ones and like, make sure

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.940
<v Speaker 2>like the fans get a taste of everything?

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:51.660
<v Speaker 1>Um, I listen, man, you know, I think there's, you know,

0:01:51.700 --> 0:01:56.660
<v Speaker 1>some artists out there that, uh, are so into what

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 1>they do and what they want to do that they

0:01:59.420 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>curate a show that they want. But I really got

0:02:02.500 --> 0:02:05.470
<v Speaker 1>to pay attention and listen to the audience and give

0:02:05.510 --> 0:02:06.370
<v Speaker 1>the audience what they want.

0:02:07.270 --> 0:02:09.410
<v Speaker 3>So I don't have one of those shows where you'll

0:02:09.430 --> 0:02:12.230
<v Speaker 3>come and be like, damn, I can't believe he didn't

0:02:12.270 --> 0:02:16.190
<v Speaker 3>play that joint. But although I can't play them all.

0:02:16.570 --> 0:02:19.490
<v Speaker 2>When I said you have so many, like you, dare

0:02:19.570 --> 0:02:22.829
<v Speaker 2>I say, you could do a Taylor Swift eras tour

0:02:23.510 --> 0:02:25.350
<v Speaker 2>and you'd have to do two, you'd have to do

0:02:25.410 --> 0:02:29.430
<v Speaker 2>two nights just to do all the hits. Yeah.

0:02:29.550 --> 0:02:34.210
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't go that crazy, but I think, I think

0:02:34.230 --> 0:02:35.910
<v Speaker 1>Taylor be performing for like four hours.

0:02:35.930 --> 0:02:36.010
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:02:36.230 --> 0:02:37.770
<v Speaker 3>Let's do it different.

0:02:37.790 --> 0:02:42.410
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, man, I think the most common comment is always, damn,

0:02:42.510 --> 0:02:45.910
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize I knew that many of your songs. Um,

0:02:46.370 --> 0:02:49.710
<v Speaker 1>But yes, it's been a long 15 years, man. And

0:02:50.250 --> 0:02:52.859
<v Speaker 1>I've released quite a bit of material. And I think

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>it's easy to kind of forget, you know, the songs

0:02:55.700 --> 0:02:56.260
<v Speaker 1>that I've released.

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.959
<v Speaker 2>So I saw Bruno Mars last week. He's got a

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.620
<v Speaker 2>tour coming to Australia next year. I asked him a question,

0:03:01.660 --> 0:03:04.380
<v Speaker 2>which I'm going to ask you, which is after 15

0:03:04.380 --> 0:03:08.970
<v Speaker 2>years and such a huge catalog of songs, what do

0:03:09.010 --> 0:03:11.330
<v Speaker 2>you reckon is the best song you've ever written?

0:03:13.220 --> 0:03:17.900
<v Speaker 1>Um, I'm going to go to some songs that the

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>world may not know.

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:19.820
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:03:20.139 --> 0:03:26.350
<v Speaker 1>Um, so I think, uh, I, I'm really in love

0:03:26.470 --> 0:03:30.210
<v Speaker 1>with a song called if I'm lucky, um, that the

0:03:30.270 --> 0:03:31.930
<v Speaker 1>average person might not know.

0:03:32.190 --> 0:03:35.630
<v Speaker 3>And I'm also really in love with a song called Cheyenne.

0:03:36.010 --> 0:03:38.630
<v Speaker 3>Oh my God. No, stop, stop.

0:03:38.990 --> 0:03:41.570
<v Speaker 2>It's on my list as one of your all time best.

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.790
<v Speaker 3>Oh, so you know what? Smalls, I should have known, man.

0:03:45.810 --> 0:03:47.290
<v Speaker 3>You know what's going on, bro.

0:03:47.670 --> 0:03:50.570
<v Speaker 2>I was going to joke and say, I think Spicy Margarita,

0:03:50.610 --> 0:03:52.830
<v Speaker 2>but then I was going to come back and say Cheyenne.

0:03:53.110 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>But I am so glad you said that is such

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:58.740
<v Speaker 2>a great pop song.

0:03:59.580 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, man.

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>And, you know, ironically, we're just talking about Taylor, but

0:04:02.900 --> 0:04:06.580
<v Speaker 1>that's actually Taylor's favorite song of mine. That's Michael Jordan's

0:04:06.620 --> 0:04:09.870
<v Speaker 1>favorite song of mine as well. And it's my favorite

0:04:09.890 --> 0:04:11.650
<v Speaker 1>song of mine. And I thought it was going to

0:04:11.670 --> 0:04:15.100
<v Speaker 1>be a smash hit. If I'm being honest.

0:04:15.220 --> 0:04:15.740
<v Speaker 3>It was a hit.

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>If Michael Jordan tells you it's his favorite song, who

0:04:18.100 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>gives a f * * * what anyone else thinks?

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 2>He thinks it's a great song. Fads.

0:04:23.220 --> 0:04:28.119
<v Speaker 3>So you will be hearing Diane on the night. Yes.

0:04:28.810 --> 0:04:32.190
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic. Now, obviously people who know you, I've known you

0:04:32.210 --> 0:04:34.110
<v Speaker 2>for so many years, but all people will know that

0:04:34.130 --> 0:04:36.650
<v Speaker 2>you're also a mogul. You do the music, you do the,

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 2>You got the car wash business, which is like worth

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>$ 2 billion. I've got to ask, are we still in

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 2>on crypto or are we getting cold feet there? Because

0:04:46.060 --> 0:04:47.380
<v Speaker 2>you were all in for a little bit.

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.700
<v Speaker 3>I'm still in on crypto for sure.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I believe it's our tomorrow for sure.

0:04:53.610 --> 0:04:54.290
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.140
<v Speaker 2>He has to say that because he's all in. He

0:04:56.190 --> 0:04:58.549
<v Speaker 2>has to say that because he's all in. I'm joking.

0:05:00.330 --> 0:05:02.210
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm not all in. I can't be all in

0:05:02.310 --> 0:05:05.510
<v Speaker 1>on anything, man. Like you got to diversify. Make sure

0:05:05.529 --> 0:05:08.010
<v Speaker 1>you got it. A little bit here, a little bit there.

0:05:08.029 --> 0:05:10.050
<v Speaker 3>Because you never know, man. It's a crazy world.

0:05:10.410 --> 0:05:13.470
<v Speaker 2>Now, I want to ask you, have you seen, like,

<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.110

<v Speaker 3>You know what? I'm going to tell people that I

0:05:50.670 --> 0:05:52.050
<v Speaker 3>don't like the fact that it folds.
