Unforgettable stars, shocking confessions, and hilarious moments. These are the
year's best celebrity interviews on Elvis Duran in the Morning
Show Live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Finally, a moment alone with Kevin Jonas a moment alone,
and I'm going to say the same thing I say
to when I'm alone with Joe or if I'm alone
with Nick.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
You're my favorite, Joe.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
You know.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
It's so nice to see everyone. It's good to see you.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It's extra great to be Friday. Happy Friday, you too.
Thank got it Friday.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Thank God.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
We have things to celebrate that have nothing to do
with anyone but you today. I can't believe that. And
we're so happy you're here. Of course, if you've seen
A Very Jonas Christmas, you know what we're talking about.
I don't want to spoil it.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
You don't, but it's such a cute movie and it's
so I I did you enjoy it?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I loved it.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
I watched it the day it came out. I told everyone,
don't call my house. It was awesome. I loved it.
Speaker 7 (00:54):
I've been getting a lot of good responses on it,
and I think families are watching it, which is really fun.
And you know, obviously you play a version of yourself.
It's a so this is people are like, is this
the Jonas universe like our show back in the old
schools at Disney Days. Yeah, like no, this is like
a heightened version of ourselves now as the Jonas.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
You know, what's the biggest thing that shocked me though,
is that if this is true, is that Nick is
the organized one who keeps you guys on track and
like if there's a problem, he deals with it. Is
that true?
Speaker 7 (01:21):
I think we kind of all do that. I'm much
more the logistics guy, but he's definitely like mindset, long term,
long long flow guy.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
But would Nick agree with that? That's the question I
think you would.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
I think he like looks at big picture and I
look at the micro detail, meaning like this stupid stuff
like what how are we gonna get from point A
to point B? Then where should we stay that night?
And you know that's no one's to be Bothered's.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Let's let's go back to somebody you were talking about
a second ago about acting and you have actually had
an acting coach? Oh yeah, why does one need an
acting coach to tell him how to act like them.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you We're gonna role
play here. Let's do Always imagine someone says you're gonna
play a version of which you've done Sharonado other things,
a version of yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I hate you for saying, Okay, the movie is a movie, dude.
To get anything made, it's insane. I was in Diehard
with a Vengeance three, Diehard with Vengeance.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
I was in.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I played myself and I didn't have an acting coach.
But tell me about you.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
So the reason I played I needed some help was
you go into it. First of all, I wanted some help,
you know, making sure I knew the lines and knew
you know, all that stuff. So I called a great
friend of mine, Michael Park is an actor Broadway actor,
and he worked with me every single day. What an
incredible friend, just like helped me out working. But he
said to me in the first thing we did, maybe
this was him just you know, getting more time with me.
But he was like, you're about to do the hardest
(02:41):
thing acting has to do, which is play yourself, because
you'll we all have a version of ourselves in our mind.
It's like, how do I want to portray who what
I think of myself? Right, So it's like and.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I'm way cooler than I really am.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
This is a little questionable, I played.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
I know it's true though, Like you can get in
your own head like how would I actually say this?
Like how would I stay myself? And it means like
toning everything down right? Like for me, it was like
I was an animated version of myself.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, so you ever put into a situation in the
script where you had to ask yourself, well, what would
Kevin do? A thousand percent?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Every time?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I never knew that. Did you argue with the director?
Well that's what I would do?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well?
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Yeah, No, I think we spent a lot of time
with our writers and they I think that's the thing
about the film since you've seen it, which is really cool,
is we kind of don't hold punches in this with
Beting brothers, Like it's actually a little uncomfortable at times.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
I was gonna say, was there anything they wanted you
to say to each other that you didn't want to
because there are things you say to each other in
this that I go, oh, I can't believe you said that.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
That's yeah, so we we took that liberty of like
really going there, and there was times we've there are
things that hit the cutting room floor, not because of whatever,
I just I just know we went even further, but
we trusted them after some time.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
But going through that first.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Reading and then like us reading those lines, I could
see their faces like, Okay, either they're going to be
extremely offended or think this is funny. So it's like
you can see their wheels turning. But they spend a
lot of time with us, getting to know our personalities,
getting to know our dynamic, and I think it worked out.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay, yeah, I haven't seen it yet. It wow. Then
it's this week. I haven't had a moment to myself.
Do you want to hear the list of things I've
been doing this weekend?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
If you get a chance A w and I.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Can't wait now, I do believe. I don't want to
give a way too much, but I'm going to give
away some because it has to do with the song.
Okay changing By the way, when I first heard this
song and I heard you singing these lyrics, it took
me to a place in my life, as it has
done with everyone who's heard it about where you were
in your life, where you are now, how you got
there and how life is. It's a total different ball
(04:38):
game now. And it's it's a very touching song, I
believe think and you you did it so beautifully when
you sing it.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
I appreciate that. It's a it's a weird feeling releasing
my own song. And you know the first time I
performed it was at Fenway Park and yeah, really throw
yourself into the fire there. Yeah, but you know, just
I wanted something, was looking for a song. And after
this filming this movie, which I come part of my
I won't give anything away, but part of the character
(05:04):
does of myself does actually want to be singing more
in jonas about this music, which is cool? Okay, I
think it, you know, art imitating life a little bit.
So I wrote my friend Jason Evigan, who's a songwriter
wrote Chains with Nick producer.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
He's incredible, and.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
I was like, hey, I wrote him in February. I
was like, do you have any songs that you might
feel like might work out for me?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He responded to me.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
In June real friends in February.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Cool, but guess what. Guess what he responded with the song?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Oh well that's good. But he didn't even give you
like a whole lot.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I'm workin' no it like.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
But you know what though, I kind of I kind
of loved it because the response to the text meant more, well.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Look, okay, let's talk about the song your family Park.
This was back in August, was it?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah? It was.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It was I can't get And this is the first
time you performed the song on stage in front of people. Correct,
it was.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
It's the first time I've ever performed the song, like ever,
And so the first time I performed the song, decided
to do a family park. Was so cool singing my
wife there, like seeing the song, like hearing it for
the first time. She obviously has been my number one
champion for a very very long time.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Then she put a video out of her watching the song. Yes,
and she was. She was in tears watching her husband,
her guy.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
So you got emotional. It was really sweet. I didn't
see it until obviously later, but you know, it's pretty great.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
She loves.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Danielle.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Hi, Good morning baby, good morning.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
How was drop off? How are the girls?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Oh they're good.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Our daughter operates it, so it was a touchy morning.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
How's it going? Yeah, we had.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
We had some tears this morning. Okay, old her to stay.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Home, but she's determined.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Okay, I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, so you you merged into traffic just in time.
Daniel to talk about that moment at Fenway Park in
Boston when Kevin came out and sang changing for the
first time on stage. What forget him? Yeah, I'm just
talking about you. It's all about you. What we think
we can we think we can understand what that moment
was like for you through the video that came out
with you watching. But talk to us right now about
(07:06):
that feeling when he was out there, your guy on
his own, I may cry on his own doing this song.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I saw that the whole time that Like I was like,
I'm not going to cry, I'm just going to enjoy it.
Like and the moment I saw him like alone on
the stage, it's like everything that I don't know, Like
all this feeling just came rushing in. Just being just
so proud of him, knowing that he's wanted to do
this for a long time but waited for like the
(07:36):
perfect moment and just the way he sounded and I
was just so proud of him.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Thanks babe.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Wow, we're writing kind of right now.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I'm just that's very sweet. Are you cry? I'm not
going to cry.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
I'm just like it's a very overwhelming time, right Like
I had the acting coach would say cry now, I
would just say, like, I couldn't have done it without her.
And you know, if she's not at home taking care
of the family like this and I can be here
doing this, it's like our unit is our unit.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
How long have you been married?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Now?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
My god, we're going on seventeen years, Danielle. Do you
remember do you guys remember the first time I met Danielle?
You guys were in a restaurant in Los Angeles. Yeah,
on Valentine's Day? So how many years ago?
Speaker 7 (08:26):
That was our That was our first Valentine's Day being married.
You know that that's the perfect thing. She thought I
had nothing planned that day and they woke up and
she was so funny and had she knows we had
like I had a whole thing plann because I had
to go to work first. It was like, you know,
just just tell people that you have plans.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
And you had no idea that the gift that night
was you got to meet Elvis Durray.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
I know.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
It blew my mind.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
It blew my mind.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
Danielle.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
We're so happy to have you here, and I'm so
glad that we decided to do.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
Thanks for calling and those very very sweet how's your
jewelry line going?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's going really good. I have to talk to my
sister more about some more stuff, but we're doing good.
We're doing very good.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
All right, daniel Thank you, have a beautiful day. Oh right, bye,
love you baby.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Season.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
See there's the thing what's going on. This song really
means so thank you, thank You're welcome.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I haven't talked to me yet this morning, so thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
There's so much going on rotating in I guess satelliting
this song. I mean, there's a movie going on in here.
There's your song came out, and did you have an album?
You're going to do your own album too.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I'm not sure, you know.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
The thing about this right now is really focused on
this and whatever wherever this leads. But I have worked
on a lot more music. I've been writing more been coxy,
more songs that I love, cut them already. It's just
not sure what it will be yet. And so I
think that's kind of cool that I can just take
my time and figured it out. Just be twenty years
for this one. So if it's anything less than twenty,
we're doing something good.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Daniel was Surprise umber Win Surprise number two.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
He's leaving the band.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Oh no, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
So a solo career. That's the beauty of this band.
Everyone can do their own thing and still be the
Jones brothers.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
So now that you are doing your own thing a
little bit and still part of the band, what's the
weirdest part to you about promoting just you? Because you're
sitting in a different chair in this studio, So that's going.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
To be the first time in this hot seat I
in Nazi. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
There's not really much different, you know. I feel like
it's the same old things. Just finally, I'm just it's
a little weird talking about a song that you've had
for yourself for so long that no, I've had it
since June, right Like, I've had this song and it
took me that long to perform it and then of
course for me to release it. So it's just like
(10:43):
it takes time, and I'm just happy that people are
willing to listen to what I have to say.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
And watching both of your brothers do their solo thing,
have you learned something from them that you want to
do or what you don't want to do.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
I definitely learned so much from them and continue to learn.
I think we all lean on each other a lot.
You know, we were very.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Lucky to have each other. I'll say that.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Nick's new project, I will say, is one of the
best things I've ever heard. It's so new and different
from Nick but still same old hat.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
But it's his first album and I'll let him talk
about it.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Kevin, you I know, but it's very, very cool, and
I'm excited for him because it's his first album being
a father, you know, like other solo projects, so he
has a lot more to say for himself, which is
really cool. And I'm just really really excited for everyone
to hear it. It's really special.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Don't you get worn out watching the Jonas brothers schedule?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Oh man, their their management.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
So I'm like, guys, you know, we we're the ones
saying where the we're the ones putting it together.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Auly No, no, no, I'm not saying you're not.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
I'm making commentary on what you see online.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Okay, Okay. What I'm saying is, you're you have so
much and this is not a new thing. The Jonahs
brother's calendar has been filled for years now.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
It's a thing. I'm very very blessed.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
I My wife asked me, she goes you other people
tour like this, and I go, no, but that's that's
a good thing. Like we are very lucky that we can.
And she's like, I know, it's just this is insane.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
You know, we're getting a very Jonahs Eastern movie, you.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Know, Arbor Day, Arbor Day, fourth of July, fourth of July.
I think a Halloween thing could be fun, very Jonah.
I think it could be a pretty fun.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
But like a really down and dirty slasher film. Yeah no,
I'm kidding.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
She's in it.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
You know, we'll see. I think let's uh, let's let
people watch this one. But it seems like the response
is very positive.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
I'm sure Disney will be coming at you.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
We have ideas for another one, but we'll okay, cool.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
I have a personal question, okay, bringing on, So there
are four boys in the Jonahs brothers families. You Nick, Joe, Frankie,
you guys all have daughters? Do you went from all
boys to now all girls? How are you all handling that?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (12:56):
It is?
Speaker 7 (12:57):
It is, it's a life changing thing. It is honestly girl.
Dad always wanted to be always said I want two girls.
Maybe there would be more. I don't know, but no
exclusive yet don't. But I think for all of us
it really shook up the system. And I think that
it's really cool that we all have girls because we
all have that to be related on, like we all
can relate on it together, which is really great. And
(13:18):
then on top of that, how could you not have
like we have five beautiful little girls run around every
family event now and it's just they just run the show.
And then of course Elena, the oldest, the first granddaughter
or daughter, you know, she's almost.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Twelve, just got a brace. It's like she's like a
little teenage. It's so weird.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
They're at the Red Carpet, they're in the movie, and
Elena and Valentina they did so good in the film,
and god, I'm worried.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I think I think.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
They get there about the bug, I'm I don't ask
that right. It's like, what if my parents said no,
and I'm like, oh, yeah, that would be my life
would be completely different. I will never say no to
them if they really want to do it. But we
also really pushed this ourselves, right, obviously have a lot
more knowledge now of what we shouldn't be doing and
what can't you know, what we need to stay away from.
(14:06):
But at the same time, if they really want to
be have a passion for acting, singing, whatever, I will
absolutely support them.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
But you know, that's a.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Lot, that's a lot.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I know they could keep you eating and investing in
real estates the rest of your life. Yeah, if they
bring the money, and I mean to depend on them
for money, I've done a very bad job.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
No, No, why not?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I mean, who glaciers is that they're going to enery
k I need cash?
Speaker 7 (14:36):
You know, I don't know it's possible. I just would
say the benefit is for girls. I'm gonna have my
girls forever, right, It's not the whole thing. They're going
to take care of dad long term, of course. I
take care of him now. I think I'll be Okay, Well,
look rich in life?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Do this? What is this twenty twenty five? Let's go
to twenty thirty five ten years from now, Wow, I
mean just just a thought. There's no way to look
into the crystal ball. But ten years from now, what's
it gonna be. I want to make more music. I
want to make more movies, like who knows, maybe maybe
we'll be still doing this with you.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
I'll be here Jonas nursing home movie fifty fifty.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
My god, ye put out to pasture so early.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I'm very Jonas broken hip.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
You know, actually broke my hip already in my life.
I did in camp what you.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Guys haven't done.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
You even had skin cancer?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I did, Yeah, I had a carsonoma.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Talk about that because a lot of people listening don't
understand the importance of getting your skin checked. I had,
I had one checked, rip it out.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I I've had a lot removed since I haven't talked
about it. That's a multiple things, but it's a thing.
Get your moul checked, and it's okay to just get
them remove and get them checked.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
I'm fixated on your broken hip.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
As a young person, I felt okay.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
So this camp, which was a like slipoy camp, had
like three story bunk beds, so it's like bunk bed,
bunk bed, bunk bed and I was on the top
one because of course I was. And I rolled off
and I'm fractured in my head.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Oh sorry, that's not funny. It is funny. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You rolled off the bed.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
That's stuff I used to do when I was younger.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
About that, I know, but wait, my question is why
is it? Of course I was the top box because
I had to be right.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I was that kid.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
It was like, oh, I have to sleep up there,
not let's just be normal and sleep at the bud.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Right, Yeah, but no, if you yeah, I sleep on
the bottom. I always get worried someone's gonna fall through.
Speaker 3 (16:26):

no heat rises, Dude, depends on how thick mattresses. Oh

Speaker 3 (00:34):
We have things to celebrate that have nothing to do
with anyone but you today. I can't believe that. And
we're so happy you're here. Of course, if you've seen
A Very Jonas Christmas, you know what we're talking about.
I don't want to spoil it.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
You don't, but it's such a cute movie and it's
so I I did you enjoy it?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I loved it.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
I watched it the day it came out. I told everyone,
don't call my house. It was awesome. I loved it.
Speaker 7 (00:54):
I've been getting a lot of good responses on it,
and I think families are watching it, which is really fun.
And you know, obviously you play a version of yourself.
It's a so this is people are like, is this
the Jonas universe like our show back in the old
schools at Disney Days. Yeah, like no, this is like
a heightened version of ourselves now as the Jonas.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
You know, what's the biggest thing that shocked me though,
is that if this is true, is that Nick is
the organized one who keeps you guys on track and
like if there's a problem, he deals with it. Is
that true?
Speaker 7 (01:21):
I think we kind of all do that. I'm much
more the logistics guy, but he's definitely like mindset, long term,
long long flow guy.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
But would Nick agree with that? That's the question I
think you would.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
I think he like looks at big picture and I
look at the micro detail, meaning like this stupid stuff
like what how are we gonna get from point A
to point B? Then where should we stay that night?
And you know that's no one's to be Bothered's.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Let's let's go back to somebody you were talking about
a second ago about acting and you have actually had
an acting coach? Oh yeah, why does one need an
acting coach to tell him how to act like them.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you We're gonna role
play here. Let's do Always imagine someone says you're gonna
play a version of which you've done Sharonado other things,
a version of yourself.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I hate you for saying, Okay, the movie is a movie, dude.
To get anything made, it's insane. I was in Diehard
with a Vengeance three, Diehard with Vengeance.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
I was in.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I played myself and I didn't have an acting coach.
But tell me about you.
Speaker 7 (02:20):
So the reason I played I needed some help was
you go into it. First of all, I wanted some help,
you know, making sure I knew the lines and knew
you know, all that stuff. So I called a great
friend of mine, Michael Park is an actor Broadway actor,
and he worked with me every single day. What an
incredible friend, just like helped me out working. But he
said to me in the first thing we did, maybe
this was him just you know, getting more time with me.
But he was like, you're about to do the hardest
(02:41):
thing acting has to do, which is play yourself, because
you'll we all have a version of ourselves in our mind.
It's like, how do I want to portray who what
I think of myself? Right, So it's like and.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I'm way cooler than I really am.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
This is a little questionable, I played.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
I know it's true though, Like you can get in
your own head like how would I actually say this?
Like how would I stay myself? And it means like
toning everything down right? Like for me, it was like
I was an animated version of myself.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, so you ever put into a situation in the
script where you had to ask yourself, well, what would
Kevin do? A thousand percent?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Every time?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I never knew that. Did you argue with the director?
Well that's what I would do?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well?
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Yeah, No, I think we spent a lot of time
with our writers and they I think that's the thing
about the film since you've seen it, which is really cool,
is we kind of don't hold punches in this with
Beting brothers, Like it's actually a little uncomfortable at times.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
I was gonna say, was there anything they wanted you
to say to each other that you didn't want to
because there are things you say to each other in
this that I go, oh, I can't believe you said that.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
That's yeah, so we we took that liberty of like
really going there, and there was times we've there are
things that hit the cutting room floor, not because of whatever,
I just I just know we went even further, but
we trusted them after some time.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
But going through that first.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Reading and then like us reading those lines, I could
see their faces like, Okay, either they're going to be
extremely offended or think this is funny. So it's like
you can see their wheels turning. But they spend a
lot of time with us, getting to know our personalities,
getting to know our dynamic, and I think it worked out.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Okay, yeah, I haven't seen it yet. It wow. Then
it's this week. I haven't had a moment to myself.
Do you want to hear the list of things I've
been doing this weekend?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
If you get a chance A w and I.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Can't wait now, I do believe. I don't want to
give a way too much, but I'm going to give
away some because it has to do with the song.
Okay changing By the way, when I first heard this
song and I heard you singing these lyrics, it took
me to a place in my life, as it has
done with everyone who's heard it about where you were
in your life, where you are now, how you got
there and how life is. It's a total different ball
(04:38):
game now. And it's it's a very touching song, I
believe think and you you did it so beautifully when
you sing it.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
I appreciate that. It's a it's a weird feeling releasing
my own song. And you know the first time I
performed it was at Fenway Park and yeah, really throw
yourself into the fire there. Yeah, but you know, just
I wanted something, was looking for a song. And after
this filming this movie, which I come part of my
I won't give anything away, but part of the character
(05:04):
does of myself does actually want to be singing more
in jonas about this music, which is cool? Okay, I
think it, you know, art imitating life a little bit.
So I wrote my friend Jason Evigan, who's a songwriter
wrote Chains with Nick producer.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
He's incredible, and.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
I was like, hey, I wrote him in February. I
was like, do you have any songs that you might
feel like might work out for me?
Speaker 5 (05:22):
He responded to me.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
In June real friends in February.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Cool, but guess what. Guess what he responded with the song?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Oh well that's good. But he didn't even give you
like a whole lot.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I'm workin' no it like.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
But you know what though, I kind of I kind
of loved it because the response to the text meant more, well.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Look, okay, let's talk about the song your family Park.
This was back in August, was it?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah? It was.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
It was I can't get And this is the first
time you performed the song on stage in front of people. Correct,
it was.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
It's the first time I've ever performed the song, like ever,
And so the first time I performed the song, decided
to do a family park. Was so cool singing my
wife there, like seeing the song, like hearing it for
the first time. She obviously has been my number one
champion for a very very long time.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Then she put a video out of her watching the song. Yes,
and she was. She was in tears watching her husband,
her guy.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
So you got emotional. It was really sweet. I didn't
see it until obviously later, but you know, it's pretty great.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
She loves.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Danielle.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Hi, Good morning baby, good morning.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
How was drop off? How are the girls?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Oh they're good.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Our daughter operates it, so it was a touchy morning.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You know.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
How's it going? Yeah, we had.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
We had some tears this morning. Okay, old her to stay.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Home, but she's determined.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Okay, I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, so you you merged into traffic just in time.
Daniel to talk about that moment at Fenway Park in
Boston when Kevin came out and sang changing for the
first time on stage. What forget him? Yeah, I'm just
talking about you. It's all about you. What we think
we can we think we can understand what that moment
was like for you through the video that came out
with you watching. But talk to us right now about
(07:06):
that feeling when he was out there, your guy on
his own, I may cry on his own doing this song.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I saw that the whole time that Like I was like,
I'm not going to cry, I'm just going to enjoy it.
Like and the moment I saw him like alone on
the stage, it's like everything that I don't know, Like
all this feeling just came rushing in. Just being just
so proud of him, knowing that he's wanted to do
this for a long time but waited for like the
(07:36):
perfect moment and just the way he sounded and I
was just so proud of him.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Thanks babe.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Wow, we're writing kind of right now.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I'm just that's very sweet. Are you cry? I'm not
going to cry.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
I'm just like it's a very overwhelming time, right Like
I had the acting coach would say cry now, I
would just say, like, I couldn't have done it without her.
And you know, if she's not at home taking care
of the family like this and I can be here
doing this, it's like our unit is our unit.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
How long have you been married?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Now?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
My god, we're going on seventeen years, Danielle. Do you
remember do you guys remember the first time I met Danielle?
You guys were in a restaurant in Los Angeles. Yeah,
on Valentine's Day? So how many years ago?
Speaker 7 (08:26):
That was our That was our first Valentine's Day being married.
You know that that's the perfect thing. She thought I
had nothing planned that day and they woke up and
she was so funny and had she knows we had
like I had a whole thing plann because I had
to go to work first. It was like, you know,
just just tell people that you have plans.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
And you had no idea that the gift that night
was you got to meet Elvis Durray.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
I know.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
It blew my mind.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
It blew my mind.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
Danielle.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
We're so happy to have you here, and I'm so
glad that we decided to do.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
Thanks for calling and those very very sweet how's your
jewelry line going?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's going really good. I have to talk to my
sister more about some more stuff, but we're doing good.
We're doing very good.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
All right, daniel Thank you, have a beautiful day. Oh right, bye,
love you baby.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Season.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
See there's the thing what's going on. This song really
means so thank you, thank You're welcome.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
I haven't talked to me yet this morning, so thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
There's so much going on rotating in I guess satelliting
this song. I mean, there's a movie going on in here.
There's your song came out, and did you have an album?
You're going to do your own album too.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I'm not sure, you know.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
The thing about this right now is really focused on
this and whatever wherever this leads. But I have worked
on a lot more music. I've been writing more been coxy,
more songs that I love, cut them already. It's just
not sure what it will be yet. And so I
think that's kind of cool that I can just take
my time and figured it out. Just be twenty years
for this one. So if it's anything less than twenty,
we're doing something good.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Daniel was Surprise umber Win Surprise number two.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
He's leaving the band.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Oh no, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
So a solo career. That's the beauty of this band.
Everyone can do their own thing and still be the
Jones brothers.
Speaker 9 (10:07):
So now that you are doing your own thing a
little bit and still part of the band, what's the
weirdest part to you about promoting just you? Because you're
sitting in a different chair in this studio, So that's going.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
To be the first time in this hot seat I
in Nazi. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
There's not really much different, you know. I feel like
it's the same old things. Just finally, I'm just it's
a little weird talking about a song that you've had
for yourself for so long that no, I've had it
since June, right Like, I've had this song and it
took me that long to perform it and then of
course for me to release it. So it's just like
(10:43):
it takes time, and I'm just happy that people are
willing to listen to what I have to say.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
And watching both of your brothers do their solo thing,
have you learned something from them that you want to
do or what you don't want to do.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
I definitely learned so much from them and continue to learn.
I think we all lean on each other a lot.
You know, we were very.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Lucky to have each other. I'll say that.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Nick's new project, I will say, is one of the
best things I've ever heard. It's so new and different
from Nick but still same old hat.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
But it's his first album and I'll let him talk
about it.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Kevin, you I know, but it's very, very cool, and
I'm excited for him because it's his first album being
a father, you know, like other solo projects, so he
has a lot more to say for himself, which is
really cool. And I'm just really really excited for everyone
to hear it. It's really special.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Don't you get worn out watching the Jonas brothers schedule?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Oh man, their their management.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
So I'm like, guys, you know, we we're the ones
saying where the we're the ones putting it together.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Auly No, no, no, I'm not saying you're not.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
I'm making commentary on what you see online.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Okay, Okay. What I'm saying is, you're you have so
much and this is not a new thing. The Jonahs
brother's calendar has been filled for years now.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
It's a thing. I'm very very blessed.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
I My wife asked me, she goes you other people
tour like this, and I go, no, but that's that's
a good thing. Like we are very lucky that we can.
And she's like, I know, it's just this is insane.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
You know, we're getting a very Jonahs Eastern movie, you.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
Know, Arbor Day, Arbor Day, fourth of July, fourth of July.
I think a Halloween thing could be fun, very Jonah.
I think it could be a pretty fun.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
But like a really down and dirty slasher film. Yeah no,
I'm kidding.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
She's in it.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:31):
You know, we'll see. I think let's uh, let's let
people watch this one. But it seems like the response
is very positive.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
I'm sure Disney will be coming at you.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
We have ideas for another one, but we'll okay, cool.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
I have a personal question, okay, bringing on, So there
are four boys in the Jonahs brothers families. You Nick, Joe, Frankie,
you guys all have daughters? Do you went from all
boys to now all girls? How are you all handling that?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (12:56):
It is?
Speaker 7 (12:57):
It is, it's a life changing thing. It is honestly girl.
Dad always wanted to be always said I want two girls.
Maybe there would be more. I don't know, but no
exclusive yet don't. But I think for all of us
it really shook up the system. And I think that
it's really cool that we all have girls because we
all have that to be related on, like we all
can relate on it together, which is really great. And
(13:18):
then on top of that, how could you not have
like we have five beautiful little girls run around every
family event now and it's just they just run the show.
And then of course Elena, the oldest, the first granddaughter
or daughter, you know, she's almost.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Twelve, just got a brace. It's like she's like a
little teenage. It's so weird.
Speaker 7 (13:35):
They're at the Red Carpet, they're in the movie, and
Elena and Valentina they did so good in the film,
and god, I'm worried.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I think I think.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
They get there about the bug, I'm I don't ask
that right. It's like, what if my parents said no,
and I'm like, oh, yeah, that would be my life
would be completely different. I will never say no to
them if they really want to do it. But we
also really pushed this ourselves, right, obviously have a lot
more knowledge now of what we shouldn't be doing and
what can't you know, what we need to stay away from.
(14:06):
But at the same time, if they really want to
be have a passion for acting, singing, whatever, I will
absolutely support them.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
But you know, that's a.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Lot, that's a lot.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I know they could keep you eating and investing in
real estates the rest of your life. Yeah, if they
bring the money, and I mean to depend on them
for money, I've done a very bad job.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
No, No, why not?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I mean, who glaciers is that they're going to enery
k I need cash?
Speaker 7 (14:36):
You know, I don't know it's possible. I just would
say the benefit is for girls. I'm gonna have my
girls forever, right, It's not the whole thing. They're going
to take care of dad long term, of course. I
take care of him now. I think I'll be Okay, Well,
look rich in life?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Do this? What is this twenty twenty five? Let's go
to twenty thirty five ten years from now, Wow, I
mean just just a thought. There's no way to look
into the crystal ball. But ten years from now, what's
it gonna be. I want to make more music. I
want to make more movies, like who knows, maybe maybe
we'll be still doing this with you.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
I'll be here Jonas nursing home movie fifty fifty.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
My god, ye put out to pasture so early.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
I'm very Jonas broken hip.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
You know, actually broke my hip already in my life.
I did in camp what you.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Guys haven't done.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
You even had skin cancer?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I did, Yeah, I had a carsonoma.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Talk about that because a lot of people listening don't
understand the importance of getting your skin checked. I had,
I had one checked, rip it out.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
I I've had a lot removed since I haven't talked
about it. That's a multiple things, but it's a thing.
Get your moul checked, and it's okay to just get
them remove and get them checked.
Speaker 9 (15:52):
I'm fixated on your broken hip.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
As a young person, I felt okay.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
So this camp, which was a like slipoy camp, had
like three story bunk beds, so it's like bunk bed,
bunk bed, bunk bed and I was on the top
one because of course I was. And I rolled off
and I'm fractured in my head.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Oh sorry, that's not funny. It is funny. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You rolled off the bed.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
That's stuff I used to do when I was younger.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
About that, I know, but wait, my question is why
is it? Of course I was the top box because
I had to be right.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I was that kid.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
It was like, oh, I have to sleep up there,
not let's just be normal and sleep at the bud.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Right, Yeah, but no, if you yeah, I sleep on
the bottom. I always get worried someone's gonna fall through.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And Nate said, Nate said, you don't want other people's
no heat rises, Dude, depends on how thick mattresses. Oh
my god. Okay in the waves now all right, look, uh,
