Hey OGs!

Hey everyone, welcome to the encore edition of Hey Jonas, the podcast, and we're going to be playing an incredibly fun game with our OG band, John Taylor, Jack Lawless, and Greg Garbowsky. OG band, but very close friends. Very close friends. The closest of the friends. Yes. Essentially, our producers asked them questions about us, and they all answered, and we will see. If we know how they're going to answer. It's like the newlywed game. I got it. That's what I said. It's the newlywed game. Okay, so what are the questions? All right, we're going to do Kevin first. Yeah. Kevin, what did John say is your most used phrase? Most used phrase? Oh, that's weird. It might be, um. It might be, um, sorry? I don't know. We'd like you to use that more, actually. No, I said, sorry. I said, honestly, but I also wrote like a paragraph after because I'm very verbose. That's good. Because you say like, honestly, and you do that when you want to sway the conversation in your favor. It's good. It's a little, it's not manipulative. It's a, it's a method. It's a pro. It's a method. You're like, honestly. It's a pro tactic. And there's like a dot, dot, dot. There's an ellipsis. So it's a, it's a, it's a lead the witness kind of informational. You're like, honestly. Cool. So never saying that again. Copy. Next. All right. Kevin's like, damn, I'm found out. Okay. Kevin, what did Greg say is your weirdest habit? Oh man. I'm saying honestly, no, uh, the mint intake, uh, not the weirdest. No, it's your, you bring your laptop everywhere. Yeah. That's weird to lunch, to dinner. Now he's coding in the, in the car laptop open. Well, it's my way of working on what I'm working on. When I sell this app for a billion dollars, you're all going to be like, damn, it should have brought it to dinner. He's a founder. I get it. You got to grind. Founder energy. There's only so many hours in the day. There's only so many Claude tokens. This podcast brought to you by Claude. Anthropic. Thank you. Anthropic AI. All right, Kevin. What did Jack say is your go-to pre-show ritual? Calling my wife or kids or coffee? Coding. Same time. Actually, Kevin was, uh, in the hair and makeup chair this afternoon. And I, uh, I was talking to you for a minute and I saw you were coding. You're clouding, clouding. I don't know. Clotting. You're doing something. And I was like, and I hear a voice. I'm like, are you in FaceTime with someone? You're like, yeah, my wife. And I can't see her because you had the screen up. You're coding. You know why I did that? Because you guys made the mention to me about being an elder millennial. And the fact that I don't FaceTime as much as I'm always on the phone. So I'm trying to FaceTime more. Damn. She listened to the podcast and called you out. Is that what happened? No, I listened to you guys and took the advice of saying, be more present. Good. I'm proud of you. Okay. Let's roast us now. Nick and me are up. All right. Next up, Joe. What did Jack say is the funniest inside joke between you two? The funniest inside joke. It's probably your trash kid. We do split a banana. We've been going on like 10 years doing this. But Jack's tummy was a little funny in South America. And he wouldn't split a damn banana with me. Bananas are good for binding it up. I don't want to mess with anything. I'm good. But true. You're already sitting on the throne, dog. Do whatever you want. Jack and I played a lot of Fortnite during COVID together. Yes. And I wasn't paying attention. And that's the way we play. We would play with whoever's online. And there was probably, like, I would say, arguably, a 14-year-old kid. He got smoked by this, like, nine-year-old. I got killed really quickly in the game. And he was like, you're trash, kid. He's like, you're trash, kid. And we say that all the time now. About pretty much everything. When you suck at something. You're trash, kid. All right. Next up. What did Greg say is the thing you complain about the most? Probably if a coffee doesn't taste good enough. That's what I thought about. But then I said, you know what? He doesn't. And I'm really proud of you and inspired by you. I think there's probably a lot of things that annoy you. But there's not much that you actually complain about. And I credit that to your mental health routine of meditation and gratitude lists. And yeah. No, same, same, same, same. I definitely don't complain about anything. Hey, Greg, here's that $20 I owe you. No, I appreciate it. Hey, facts. Let's go. Mental health. Shut up. Shut up, guys. Shut up. I'm a marathon running therapist. Prove it. He's a therapist. Just kidding. What a beautiful moment. All right, Joe. Finally, what did John say would be the thing you'd do if you were stranded in an airport overnight? Probably call somebody to get out of there. But if I'm stranded overnight, I would probably. We just did this together on Christmas Eve. That was in the movie, wasn't it? But it actually happened in real life. That sounds like the plot of the movie. I would probably buy a neck pillow. No. No? What would I do? I said, assuming that other people would be there, you're not alone in this airport, you would become the bartender and the DJ for the night. Oh, absolutely. And create a night that no one would ever forget. And also, most people wouldn't remember or no one would believe the story. Like, you don't know what happened. We got stuck in LaGuardia and all of a sudden, Joe Jonas is slinging Aperol spritzes and blasting music. And we stayed up all night. He somehow got the bartender to keep the place open until 7 a.m. And then we blacked out. That sounds way more fun. I was like, I'm going to buy a neck pillow. You did that. We were in St. Bart's for some like, I don't know, swim. Victoria's Secret. Swim, say anything. We were performing something and Joe decided to show up because there was a lot of models. This is years back. And he bargained two or three days into the thing and went straight in and became the bartender and the DJ for the night. And then no one could work the next day. Yeah, that's my memory of it. They flew to my house after that and told the tale. All right, Nick's up. All right, Nick. What did Greg say is the one item you can never travel without? I mean, insulin. Well, that would have been a good answer. Yeah, that's probably a better answer. That's like pineapple juice. Sort of the same thing. Within the same world. Yeah, in case your sugar goes low. Mineral juice, because if my glucose goes low, that helps me to bring it back up. So it's the same. And they make them a good little can size. And that's your go-to? Yes. The Dole mini can of pineapple juice is 15 grams of carbohydrates. It's the perfect dosage to get the glucose back up. Nice. This episode brought to you by Dole pineapple juice. Dole pineapple. There's some pineapples in that edible arrangement. I wonder if they're Dole. Okay, Nick. What did Jack say? What did Jack say is the one thing you're weirdly picky about? One thing? That's probably his answer. Where do I start? Temperature of the room, maybe? No. This is a new thing. It's a new thing? We're kind of both newly picky about. Okay. Oh, yeah. Balsamic vinaigrette. We've been going to school, me and Jack and his wife, Elena, on tour. Instead of Brain Rot, thank you for this, by the way. We're learning stuff on YouTube. We watched this whole video on balsamic. How it's made. Apparently, there's one real bougie kind, and that's the only kind that matters. What's the name of the bougie kind? I don't remember. We wrote it down somewhere. We got to get it. We're going to get some. I was going to say, I bet you this place has it. Or at least, you know. It's like triple distill. It sounds hot. Let's find it. All right. That's a good answer. Bathe in it. Love. All right. Last one. What did John say is the one story you hope never gets brought up? Like on a podcast, for example. Like on the podcast, for example? My whole life is kind of like out there on display and has been forever. So there's not a whole lot of things that I'd be. This was the hardest thing to answer. I have no idea. Because you've already talked about this. And this was a pivot. Because there was another story. And Phil was like, don't tell that story. And I was like, I'm not even going to tell the story. I'm just going to say the thing. And he's like, oh, yeah. Yeah. But so then Hank said this. And then Greg said this. So I was like, I'll say it. It's just it was here at the ACM. So you've already talked about it. Oh, the guitar solo. But as a guitar player. Yeah. Myself. I'm a. You watching at home. I'm a good guitar player. Nick's a great guitar player. That could happen to anybody. And I can say that from where I sit. For people that don't know, can we get the story? Because obviously. It's just he had a, you know, not a bad guy. A bad moment. He flubbed. He is what one would call a brain rot. Greg and I used to do this thing on stage where we were constantly in competition. And we'd say to each other on certain shows. We like. All right. I'm listening to you. You're listening to me. Whoever makes more mistakes is a loser. And those shows. What a toxic environment to work in. Those shows. We would make innumerable mistakes. Those were the worst. The more you think. Yeah, those were the worst shows. The more you think while you perform. The worse you are. Yeah. You have to be in that flow state. It was actually in this building, though. In this building. I'm really sorry that happened to you. It really was difficult. To. It redefined my life at the time. And I think caused me to get more focused and more locked in. Whatever. We had Kelsey Ballerini on our. You were making jokes. Yeah. I can. I can laugh about it. No. Yeah. We'll talk off the pot about the other story. I'm dying to know what that is. I want to know. Stuff stays in the vault, guys. It's not. Everything is forever. Yeah. That's right, John. Yeah. Thanks. Not everything is forever. It did sign NDAs. And on that note, this was our OG band. We had with them. Thank you for joining the Hey Jonas podcast. Bye bye.
