Speaker 1 (00:01):
Live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
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 1 (00:15):
You're my favorite, Joe. You know. It's so nice to
see everyone. It's good to see you. It's extra great
to be Friday Friday, you too. Thank God it Friday.
Thank God we have things to celebrate. They 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 3 (00:34):
You don't, but it's such a cute movie and it's
so I I did you enjoy it?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I watched it the day it came out. I told everyone,
don't call my house. It was awesome. I loved it.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
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 so this is People are like, is this the
Jonas Universe? Like our show back in the old school
dit Disney days. Yeah, like no, this is like a
heightened version of ourselves now as the Jonas.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You know. Whats 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.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
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 1 (01:19):
But would Nick agree with that? That's the question I
think you would.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Let's let's go back to something 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 5 (01:43):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you We're gonna role
play here, let's do it. Always imagine someone says you're
gonna play a version of which you've done Sharonado other things,
version of yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I hate you for saying he was a movie dude
to get anything made. It's insane. I was in Diehard
with a Vengeance three, Diehard with Vengeance. I was in.
I played myself and I didn't have an acting coach.
But tell me about you.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
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 was an actor Broadway actor,
and he worked with me every single day. What an
incredible friend, just like help 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
(02:31):
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?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Right? So it's like, and I'm way cooler than I
really am. This is a little questionable. I played.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
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 1 (02:58):
Well, so will you ever put into a sucha in
the script where you had to ask yourself? Well, what
would Kevin do? One thousand percent? Wow? Every time? I
never do that? Did you argue with the director, well
that's what I would do?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
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 3 (03:21):
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.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh, I can't believe you said that. That's yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
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. But going through that first reading
and then like us reading those lines, I could see
their faces like, Okay, either they're going to be extremely
offended or I think this is funny. So it's like
you could see their wheels turning. But they spent a
(03:52):
lot of time with us, getting to know our personalities,
getting to know our dynamic, and I think it worked out.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay, yeah, I haven't seen it yet. It wow, 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,
you know, this weekend if you get a chance at
and I can't wait now, I do believe. I don't
want to give way too much fun me 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
(04:19):
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 totally, and how life is it's a total different
ballgame 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 5 (04:34):
I appreciate that. 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 of
this movie, which I cut part of my I won't
give anything away, but part of the character does of
(04:55):
myself does actually want to be singing more in Jonas
About's music?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Which cool?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
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 Prettycer. He's incredible, and
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? He responded to
me in June. Real friends in February.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But guess what. Guess what he responded with the song,
Oh well that's good.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But he didn't even give you like a whole lot.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I'm workin' no it just like but you know what though,
I kind of I kind of loved it because the
response to the text meant more, well.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Look, okay, let's talk about the song your family Park.
This was back in August, was it, Yeah? It was.
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 5 (05:44):
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 seeing 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 1 (05:57):
Then she put a video out of her watch the song. Yes,
and she was. She was in tears watching her husband,
her guy saying that emotional.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It was really sweet. I didn't see it until obviously later,
but you know, it's pretty great.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Danielle, Hi, good morning, baby, Good morning. How was drop off?
How are the girls?
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Oh they're good.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Our daughter operates it. So it was a touchy morning.
You know. How's it going.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Yeah, we had we had some tears this morning. Okay,
old her to stay home, but she's determined.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Okay, I love it. Well, So you you merged into
traffic just in time. Danielle 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
(06:55):
now about that feeling when he was out there, your
guy on his own, I may cry on his own
doing this song.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
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
(07:23):
a long time but waited for like the perfect moment
and just the way he sounded, and I was just
so proud of him.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Thanks babe, Wow nice, we're kind of right now. I'm
just that's very sweet. Are you cry? I'm not going
to cry.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I'm I'm just like it's a very overwhelming time, right,
Like I 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.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Is our unit.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
How long have you been marry now?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
My god, we're going on seventeen years, daniel Do you remember,
do you guys remember the first time I met Danielle?
You guys were in a restaurant in Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Yeah, on Valentine's Day?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
How many years ago?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
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 know 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 1 (08:32):
And you had no idea that the gift that night
was you got to meet Elvis Durra. I know, it
blew my mind. It blew my mind.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Danielle.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
We're so happy to have you here and I'm so
glad that we decided to do Thanks for calling in.
That was very very sweet. How's your jewelry?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Line going.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
It's going really good. I have to talk to my
sister more about some more stuff, but we're doing good,
very good.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
All right, Daniel, thank you, have a beautiful day. By
love your baby Sea soon. See there's the thing with
this is going on. This song really means so thank you.
Thank You're welcome. I haven't talked to me yet this morning,
so thank you. There's so much going on rotating and
I guess satelliting this song. I mean, there's a movie
going on in here. There's your song came out, and
(09:21):
do you have an album? You're gonna do your own
album too, I'm not sure, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
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
(09:44):
or doing something good.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Daniel was surprised. Umber wins surprise number two. Yeah, exactly.
He's leaving the band. Oh, No, he's not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
So a solo career. That's the beauty of this band.
Everyone can do their own thing and still be the
Jones brothers.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You So, now that you are doing your own thing
a little bit still the band, what's the weirdest part
to you about promoting just you? Because you're sitting in
a different chair in the studio.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
So that's the first time in this hot seat in
the NAZI. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. 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,
(10:26):
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 it takes time, and
I'm just happy that people are willing to listen to
what I have to say.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
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 5 (10:43):
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 lucky to have each other.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'll say that.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
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. But it's his
first album and I'll let him talk about.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It, Kevin about you, I know.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
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.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's really special. Don't you get worn out watching the
Jonas brothers schedule?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Okay? Oh man, their their management.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
So I'm like, guys, you know, we we're the ones
saying where the Wh're the ones putting it together?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Auly No, no, no, I'm not saying you're not. I'm making
commentary on what you see online. 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 (11:44):
It's a thing. I'm very very blessed. I My wife
asked me, she goes, do 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 3 (12:01):
You know, we're getting a very Jonahs Eastern movie.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
You know, Arbor Day, Arbor Day, fourth of July, fourth
of July. I think a Halloween thing could be.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Fun, so very jonahsween.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I think it could be a pretty fun, but like
a really down and dirty slasher film.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, no, I'm kidding, she's in it. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
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 3 (12:26):
I'm sure Disney will be coming at you. We have
ideas for another one, okay, cool. I have a personal
question bringing on. So there are four boys in the
Jonahs brothers families. You, Nick, Joe, Frankie, you guys all
have daughters. We do You went from all boys to
now all girls? How are you all handling that?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
What is that? It is? It is?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
It's a life changing thing. Yeah, it is, honestly, girl.
Dad always wanted to be always said I want two girls.
Maybe there'll be more, I don't know, but no exclusive yet.
Torn 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 then on
(13:09):
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 twelve, just got a brace.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's like she's like a little teenage. It's so weird.
They're at the Red carpet.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
They're in the movie, and Elena and Valentina they did
so good in the film, and god, I'm worried.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think I think they get there.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Let them.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
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 push 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. But at the same time, if
(13:58):
they really want to be have a passion for acting, singing, whatever,
I will absolutely support them.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But you know, that's a lot, that's a lot. 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. No, no, why not? I mean,
you who glaciers? Is that they're going to ery k
(14:23):
I need cash?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
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 1 (14:40):
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 going to 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 3 (14:58):
There, I will be here ownus nursing home movie fifty.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Fifty My god, twenty years put out to pasture so early.
I'm very Jonas broken hip. Yeah, you know, I actually
broke my hip already in my life. I did in camp.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What you guys, have you even had skin cancer?
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Right? Well?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I did. Yeah, I had a carsonoma. Talk about that
because a lot of people listening don't understand the importance
of getting your skin checked. Get people I had. I
had one checked, Rip it out.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
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 most checked, and it's okay to just get
them remove and get them checked.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I'm fixated on your broken hip. As a young person,
I felt okay.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
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 fracture.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
In my head.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Oh sorry, that's not funny.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It is funny. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
You rolled off the bed. That's offf I used to
do when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
About that, I know, but wait, my question is why
is it? Of course I was that's a top box
because I had to be right. I was that kid.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
It was like, oh, I have to sleep up there,
not let's just be normal and sleep at the bud right.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, but no, if you yeah, I sleep on the bottom.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I always get worried someone's gonna fall through. And Nate said,
Nate said, you don't want other people's heat rises. Dude,
depends on how thick mattresses. Oh my god. Okay, now
all right, look, uh, congratulations on everything. And I'm telling
you this you this song is truly in my opinion,
it's it's the sun and everything else are the planets?
(16:36):
Oh my god? And you know having you guys, were
you here? You are even you guys, it's you know
you and your multiple personalities reporting to this acting coach.
You have, Uh, congratulations on everything. As I always say

You too, Kevin Jonas by
Live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
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 1 (00:15):
You're my favorite, Joe. You know. It's so nice to
see everyone. It's good to see you. It's extra great
to be Friday Friday, you too. Thank God it Friday.
Thank God we have things to celebrate. They 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 3 (00:34):
You don't, but it's such a cute movie and it's
so I I did you enjoy it?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
I watched it the day it came out. I told everyone,
don't call my house. It was awesome. I loved it.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
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 so this is People are like, is this the
Jonas Universe? Like our show back in the old school
dit Disney days. Yeah, like no, this is like a
heightened version of ourselves now as the Jonas.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
You know. Whats 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.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Is that true?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
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 1 (01:19):
But would Nick agree with that? That's the question I
think you would.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Let's let's go back to something 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 5 (01:43):
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you We're gonna role
play here, let's do it. Always imagine someone says you're
gonna play a version of which you've done Sharonado other things,
version of yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I hate you for saying he was a movie dude
to get anything made. It's insane. I was in Diehard
with a Vengeance three, Diehard with Vengeance. I was in.
I played myself and I didn't have an acting coach.
But tell me about you.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
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 was an actor Broadway actor,
and he worked with me every single day. What an
incredible friend, just like help 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
(02:31):
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?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Right? So it's like, and I'm way cooler than I
really am. This is a little questionable. I played.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
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 1 (02:58):
Well, so will you ever put into a sucha in
the script where you had to ask yourself? Well, what
would Kevin do? One thousand percent? Wow? Every time? I
never do that? Did you argue with the director, well
that's what I would do?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well?
Speaker 5 (03:09):
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 3 (03:21):
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.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Oh, I can't believe you said that. That's yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
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. But going through that first reading
and then like us reading those lines, I could see
their faces like, Okay, either they're going to be extremely
offended or I think this is funny. So it's like
you could see their wheels turning. But they spent a
(03:52):
lot of time with us, getting to know our personalities,
getting to know our dynamic, and I think it worked out.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay, yeah, I haven't seen it yet. It wow, 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,
you know, this weekend if you get a chance at
and I can't wait now, I do believe. I don't
want to give way too much fun me 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
(04:19):
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 totally, and how life is it's a total different
ballgame 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 5 (04:34):
I appreciate that. 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 of
this movie, which I cut part of my I won't
give anything away, but part of the character does of
(04:55):
myself does actually want to be singing more in Jonas
About's music?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Which cool?
Speaker 5 (04:59):
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 Prettycer. He's incredible, and
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? He responded to
me in June. Real friends in February.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But guess what. Guess what he responded with the song,
Oh well that's good.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But he didn't even give you like a whole lot.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
I'm workin' no it just like but you know what though,
I kind of I kind of loved it because the
response to the text meant more, well.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Look, okay, let's talk about the song your family Park.
This was back in August, was it, Yeah? It was.
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 5 (05:44):
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 seeing 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 1 (05:57):
Then she put a video out of her watch the song. Yes,
and she was. She was in tears watching her husband,
her guy saying that emotional.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
It was really sweet. I didn't see it until obviously later,
but you know, it's pretty great.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Danielle, Hi, good morning, baby, Good morning. How was drop off?
How are the girls?
Speaker 6 (06:21):
Oh they're good.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Our daughter operates it. So it was a touchy morning.
You know. How's it going.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Yeah, we had we had some tears this morning. Okay,
old her to stay home, but she's determined.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Okay, I love it. Well, So you you merged into
traffic just in time. Danielle 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
(06:55):
now about that feeling when he was out there, your
guy on his own, I may cry on his own
doing this song.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
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
(07:23):
a long time but waited for like the perfect moment
and just the way he sounded, and I was just
so proud of him.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Thanks babe, Wow nice, we're kind of right now. I'm
just that's very sweet. Are you cry? I'm not going
to cry.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I'm I'm just like it's a very overwhelming time, right,
Like I 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.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Is our unit.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
How long have you been marry now?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
My god, we're going on seventeen years, daniel Do you remember,
do you guys remember the first time I met Danielle?
You guys were in a restaurant in Los Angeles?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Yeah, on Valentine's Day?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
How many years ago?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
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 know 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 1 (08:32):
And you had no idea that the gift that night
was you got to meet Elvis Durra. I know, it
blew my mind. It blew my mind.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Danielle.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
We're so happy to have you here and I'm so
glad that we decided to do Thanks for calling in.
That was very very sweet. How's your jewelry?
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Line going.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
It's going really good. I have to talk to my
sister more about some more stuff, but we're doing good,
very good.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
All right, Daniel, thank you, have a beautiful day. By
love your baby Sea soon. See there's the thing with
this is going on. This song really means so thank you.
Thank You're welcome. I haven't talked to me yet this morning,
so thank you. There's so much going on rotating and
I guess satelliting this song. I mean, there's a movie
going on in here. There's your song came out, and
(09:21):
do you have an album? You're gonna do your own
album too, I'm not sure, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
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
(09:44):
or doing something good.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Daniel was surprised. Umber wins surprise number two. Yeah, exactly.
He's leaving the band. Oh, No, he's not going to happen.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
So a solo career. That's the beauty of this band.
Everyone can do their own thing and still be the
Jones brothers.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You So, now that you are doing your own thing
a little bit still the band, what's the weirdest part
to you about promoting just you? Because you're sitting in
a different chair in the studio.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
So that's the first time in this hot seat in
the NAZI. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. 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,
(10:26):
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 it takes time, and
I'm just happy that people are willing to listen to
what I have to say.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
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 5 (10:43):
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 lucky to have each other.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I'll say that.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
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. But it's his
first album and I'll let him talk about.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It, Kevin about you, I know.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
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.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's really special. Don't you get worn out watching the
Jonas brothers schedule?
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Okay? Oh man, their their management.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
So I'm like, guys, you know, we we're the ones
saying where the Wh're the ones putting it together?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Auly No, no, no, I'm not saying you're not. I'm making
commentary on what you see online. 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 (11:44):
It's a thing. I'm very very blessed. I My wife
asked me, she goes, do 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 3 (12:01):
You know, we're getting a very Jonahs Eastern movie.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
You know, Arbor Day, Arbor Day, fourth of July, fourth
of July. I think a Halloween thing could be.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Fun, so very jonahsween.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I think it could be a pretty fun, but like
a really down and dirty slasher film.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Yeah, no, I'm kidding, she's in it. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
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 3 (12:26):
I'm sure Disney will be coming at you. We have
ideas for another one, okay, cool. I have a personal
question bringing on. So there are four boys in the
Jonahs brothers families. You, Nick, Joe, Frankie, you guys all
have daughters. We do You went from all boys to
now all girls? How are you all handling that?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
What is that? It is? It is?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
It's a life changing thing. Yeah, it is, honestly, girl.
Dad always wanted to be always said I want two girls.
Maybe there'll be more, I don't know, but no exclusive yet.
Torn 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 then on
(13:09):
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 twelve, just got a brace.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's like she's like a little teenage. It's so weird.
They're at the Red carpet.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
They're in the movie, and Elena and Valentina they did
so good in the film, and god, I'm worried.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think I think they get there.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Let them.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
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 push 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. But at the same time, if
(13:58):
they really want to be have a passion for acting, singing, whatever,
I will absolutely support them.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
But you know, that's a lot, that's a lot. 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. No, no, why not? I mean,
you who glaciers? Is that they're going to ery k
(14:23):
I need cash?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
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 1 (14:40):
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 going to 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 3 (14:58):
There, I will be here ownus nursing home movie fifty.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Fifty My god, twenty years put out to pasture so early.
I'm very Jonas broken hip. Yeah, you know, I actually
broke my hip already in my life. I did in camp.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
What you guys, have you even had skin cancer?
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Right? Well?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I did. Yeah, I had a carsonoma. Talk about that
because a lot of people listening don't understand the importance
of getting your skin checked. Get people I had. I
had one checked, Rip it out.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
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 most checked, and it's okay to just get
them remove and get them checked.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I'm fixated on your broken hip. As a young person,
I felt okay.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
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 fracture.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
In my head.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Oh sorry, that's not funny.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
It is funny. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
You rolled off the bed. That's offf I used to
do when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
About that, I know, but wait, my question is why
is it? Of course I was that's a top box
because I had to be right. I was that kid.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
It was like, oh, I have to sleep up there,
not let's just be normal and sleep at the bud right.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yeah, but no, if you yeah, I sleep on the bottom.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I always get worried someone's gonna fall through. And Nate said,
Nate said, you don't want other people's heat rises. Dude,
depends on how thick mattresses. Oh my god. Okay, now
all right, look, uh, congratulations on everything. And I'm telling
you this you this song is truly in my opinion,
it's it's the sun and everything else are the planets?
(16:36):
