Josh six five actually sent me a track that I
thought was amazing. He sent it to me and instantly
I started to feel good listening to it, so I,

it's it's been amazing to watch everybody, do you know,
these videos with their families and you see all the
love and the videos, and then you see the the
dance that was created by Olivia from Poland that has
just been going crazy.

the Venetian.
Speaker 1 (02:27):

be doing some jingle Ball shows this holiday season. You
you do any Christmas songs or you just just the hits.
Speaker 2 (02:38):

Speaker 3 (02:38):
I was thinking about doing some Christmas songs, but man,
I'm already trying to fit, you know, all of these
songs into this into this set, so I don't I
don't think I can add any Christmas songs without people
getting upset.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The worst thing in the world is when people come
up to me and they're like, I love you, Jason,
but why didn't you do that? Right? Right, right?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
That's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
That's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I'm gonna stick to my songs for the jingle Ball, man,
But I'm really excited. I'm actually partnering up with Make
a Wish and with iHeart to bring somebody to meet
me live on stage in front of the twenty thousand
people in Miami, Miami's jingle Ball and all people got
(03:22):
to do is raise awareness by doing the dance challenge
for make Me Happy and hashtag that make Me Happy Sweepstakes.
But the saddest thing about Make a wish is that
every wish doesn't come true, you know, for these deserving kids.
So I wanted to do my part, and I think
we all should do our part and making as many
wishes come true and the shortest amount of time possible.
(03:42):
So either do the dance or donate ten dollars of
more to enter the sweep stakes, and you get a
first class flight Rose Royce Action Red carpet and meet
me live on stage in front of all of those
people in Miami.

to do that. Hey, the social media game is next
level right there. How you come up with ideas for
your videos? And my kids were mad at me, he said, Dad,
you had Jason Derulo and you came up.
