Ring Ring…You called, we answered!

Hey guys, what's going on? You guys look great today. We wore green. Did you guys get a haircut today? We did. Got a haircut and it's driving me nuts. Hot take for you. Why? Having to go about your day after a haircut with the little hairs on your back is the worst thing. That's why you need to rewash. It's called getting older. Okay, Nick, you got hairs on your back now. No, it's from the haircut. You mentioned one time that someone should invent one of those lint rollers, but for after haircuts. You just roll your hair. It's called a shower, guys. When I have a buzz cut, I do that. It works out just fine. But this mop, as it were, doesn't work that way. It looks good. It looks tight. Thank you. High and tight. So today, we're answering phone calls. Live. I'm excited about this. Live calls. Do you think we'll get good ones? I don't know. I think we'll get a couple of people calling in that are just like, what? And then it's gonna be a few minutes of like, yep, hi, hey, that. And then it'll be a couple of people that are like, we're gonna be like, oh man, we are not. I'm gonna go ahead and predict a lot of like advice around situationships. I'm just saying. I hope so. I have a feeling. I like answering questions like this. All right. Let's take some callers, guys. Love it. Wow. That's a good one. I like that one. I'm Shane Gray for crying out loud. Do you have a favorite? Um. Give me the. I'm not going to, by the way, I know I've been given a gift by having this. I promise I won't overdo it. Don't overdo it to where it's not fun anymore, then you have to get rid of it. No, I'm a comedian. Says some people. Yeah. I know when a joke. Okay. I know when you can take a joke a little too far. And I know how to push your buttons, so. Okay. I like that one a lot. Hey Jonas. More like, or hey. Oh, we should rerecord it and say, hey. That should be our theme song. Hey Jonas. We got to get, uh. John Bellion on the line. That's actually his voice. Is it? Yeah. Definitely his voice. Oh, that would be John Bellion's voice. We have to get him to do it, which means we would have to get him on the pod, which means we'd have to pay money to sing the song. He's already been paid. He loves us. Residuals on our podcast? I don't think so. He actually just made seven cents. Okay. Let's take some calls. All right. Bring them in. Okay. People are calling in at the Hey Jonas hotline, which is 1-8-4-Hey Jonas, or you could add us at at Hey Jonas podcast and Canada's at Hey Jonas Canada. Hello. Who are we speaking to? This is the Jonas Brothers. Wait. Really? I'm Shane and Greg. Correct. This is us. It's really us. The one and only. The three and only. You made it. You're here. But the phone lines are ringing. So we need to know what do you want? Okay. Sorry. I'm baffled right now. What is your favorite Bluey episode? Favorite Bluey episode? The sign. It's them? Oh my God. It's definitely the sleeping. Sleepy time. Is it called sleepy time? Sleepy time. Yeah. That one like a war. That's a classic. That's classic. Kevin made everyone watch that episode at a writing camp. And I was like, bro, what are you doing? He's like, you, do you guys have eight minutes? And we're like, sure, Kevin. It's incredible. But it was worth it. It's great. And then we watched it and I cried and now I've shown it to like a hundred people. So those eight minutes change your life as you should. I'm not going to overdo it. You're already overdoing it. I'm not overdoing it. You've already gone there. Okay. Sorry. They're mad because I got on board. Before you go, can you say hi to my daughter, Amelia? She is your biggest fan. She just turned four and we had a huge Jonas brother birthday party and she wore you guys t-shirt. Happy birthday. Happiest birthdays. We hope you have the best year of your life so far. I'm not going to do it. I just wanted to touch him. You're my favorite Kevin. Stop. He's so shy right now. But thank you. We love you guys so much. All right. I'm on probation from the pot, from the, uh, the challenge. You've been put in the corner. I only will do it if it makes sense. Okay. It already hasn't made sense three or four times. She said, who are you? And I said, it's Shane Gray. For crying out loud. That was perfect. Stop. And hey now. Okay. We've got another caller on the line. Because people are calling it. I hate Jonas. And we're giving them advice on things or sorry, can we put, this is stressing me out so much. Look at this. Zoom in. Well, you decided, you said I want to sit in the corner, but I don't have a table. So that's my table. But do you do that at home? Depends on where I'm sitting. Oh my gosh. No, we have those little trays that are placed on the couch. He's got the little trays. You know what that means? We're rich. To Jonas. Paid him well. I got you. Put it in, put it, put it in the mouth. Thank you. Wait a second. Is this any better, Nick? It's even more. We have to take a call. Okay. Hello. Hi. How are you? You've reached at. Hey Jonas. It is in fact us. And we are eager to talk to you. Hi. Is this Joe? Hi Joe. I love you all. This is all three of us. This is just Joe. What do you need to know? Hi. How's it going? Yeah. I have been your, I've been your fan since like 2008 from India and I met you guys and happiness began. Sure. And it was awesome. And I love all three of you. Thank you so much. What part of India are you from? I am from the north. So I am from like a hill station, but New Delhi. I think Nick's wedding, one of the ceremonies was there too. So. Cool. Yeah. Lovely. Well, it's so nice to speak with you. And we would love to know. Do you have a question or concern or comment? Of course. So what I want to ask you is that, uh, lately everyone is doing solo projects. Thank you, Kevin. I totally love little things. It's so beautiful. And, um, like as a, like, even though like we all have our own favorites, we love all three of you and even Franklin together. So how does it, how does it feel like for you as artists to do both band projects and individual projects? Like, does it get hot sometimes or is it because you're a family? It's easier to navigate. It's incredible. Uh, you know, thank you for sharing the love on little things. This is Kevin. Um, and I'll be honest. It's a dream come. It's a dream come true. You know, I never expected to be making music on my own in an independent way. And now that it's happening, it's really, really special. And obviously just following in Joe and Nick's footsteps as they've been making incredible music for so long. Um, I think that's something that's really cool about this band is that we can kind of support each other in those ways. We can kind of go and do our own things and come back and still play the music as the Jonas Brothers and make more music. It's really special. Yeah, definitely. And I'm looking forward to watch a power ballad. And, um, yeah, I wanted to say one thing to Joe, especially that when you did the NCE, it was like a major shock for me too, that he went from like this typical soft-hearted guy for doing like, uh, party music and all. And I was also like, like a timid girl in high school. I was busy with studying and all, but that allowed me to like realize it's okay to be yourself and you don't have to worry about other people's judgment. And I'm having the time of my life since the time you guys came back together. That makes me so happy. Thank you so much. And I'm glad that my music can help you beat your best self because you're awesome. And thank you for calling in. We will talk to you soon. And we will, uh, we'll see you on the next tour. Thank you so much. Definitely. Thank you so much. Talk to you soon. Question. When's the last time you guys did media training? Just curious. Feels targeted. I was just wondering. Three years ago? I don't know. For what? I did it with Franklin for Claim to Fame. Oh, interesting. Upon my request. Remember they made us do it back in the day? Yeah. Columbia Records made us do it. How to answer questions. How to reframe your story. How to not say um. How to reframe a story. Nice. How to not step in some sticky situations. But I did do it probably about three years ago as well. For what? Just because? Like a tune up? For a deal cuz. Oh. No. That's like the pre-call before like a deal. That's not media training. That's just like you need to say this and don't miss this. Yeah. Anyway. I did media training with DNC. Was it just on how to not sound like you. As you guys. I'm sorry. Go on. No. You just were very opposite to the usual media training. Your style of communication. I was used to it. But they were you know. Oh. They were new to it. Yeah. And also some of the answers were quite naughty and I think they're like trying to rein it in a little bit. So somebody was like hey. They gotta. Somebody's gotta teach him. Chill. What the hell to do. Alright. Rockstar life. Good sidebar. Next caller. Really hard for me not to touch all these buttons. Hello. Oh. Hi. Hello. Hey this is. Hi. This is Hey Jonas. Awesome. Yeah. It is actually. See you later. Just kidding. What's up? Who are we talking to? I'm not. I'm Haley, Mia and Aubrey. Nice. Okay. So what do you guys want to know? Tell us about your lives. What do we got? I don't know. You can do it Haley. We decided to call you guys. We wanted to know what was going on. Oh great. You know we're just hanging out. I'm Shane Gray for Crying Out Loud. Haley. Where are you calling from? Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati. Okay. I shot a movie in Cincinnati, Ohio back in 2015. Old Nat Town. Oh. Did the movie do good? Is the movie good? Is that what you're saying? Great question. We have a good question. Well. The movie. The movie is good. Which movie was it? It's called Goat. Oh. Oh yeah. It's a great movie. It's hard. It's tough. It's Goated. It's intense. It's Goated. It's a lot. You should check it out Haley. It's available on Prime. I'll think about it. On Apple. Think about it. Wow. That was appropriate timing. Thank you for calling. Have a good day. Let's talk to you soon. Okay. Next caller. Let's get into it. Why not? Hi. Hey Jonas. Hi. One second. Not a problem. We're here to wait for you. For us? You're saying for us? Sorry. No. I was in a restaurant and I didn't think you guys would pick up. That's okay. What are you eating? Turkish food. Nice. You guys are a bit Turkish? No, but we can be if you want us to be. We can be whatever you want us to be. We're Turkish. So, question. Tell us. What's your question? Or do you have anything you need advice on? Because we can also. I always need advice. Tell us. We're here. Okay. So, talking to somebody. Kind of looks like Joe. Interesting. Joe, you've kind of created my type. But he's not really pursuing. He's not pursuing? How do you flip that dynamic? Okay. We have some questions. First of all. Great taste. Do you. This is Joe. Do you feel like this is. Sorry. Is this a friend of yours? No. This is a situation. It's a situation. Okay. Good. Right now it's at the point where you're like. All right. Like. We can't keep doing this. We can't keep playing with you. Keep playing games with my heart. That's probably the actual voice. Right? Yes. So, at this point. Quit playing games with my heart. Not keep playing games with my heart. Remix. Premix. Okay. I think. At this point. Remix. You guys. It's like. It might be time for a chat. Is situationship meaning. Is this person. Like. Are they single? They're. Yeah. For sure. Okay. He's not married. Don't worry Nick. I was just. Just checking. She knew it was Nick. She's like. I know that's Nick. It doesn't have to be married. It could be. They're. Hung up on an ex. All right. So. They're not showing as much. Motivation towards. Relationship as you'd like. It's a. Really weird place to be. Exactly. Yeah. The interest is there. The attraction is there. Do you feel like you're giving. Like giving more than you're receiving? Yes. I got it. Yes. Exactly. I have to solve the situation. Nick's going to fix your problems. Block him. Here's what you need to do. I'm just kidding. You need to go. Bowling with a large group. Six to eight people. Okay. Minimum. Because. I was going to say six to eight lanes. Six to eight lanes. Forty people. Because. You can break away. It's a group hang. So there's no pressure. If you're like. Oh. It's too much pressure. It's a situation. If they're already doing stuff. But six other people have to go. So you make sure. That you are the first to bowl. He is second. And then there's six people. After. Right. So then there's time for you to break away. Let him cook. Have a conversation. Grab a drink. Have a drink. Talk. Oh, look. Oops. I dropped my ball. Can you help me? Marie is still bowling. I forgot how to bowl. Can you help me? Mike is still. He's still got to go. Trick to this. You got to put your names close together. So you're broken away. That's what I said. Right up top. Nice. And then you can have the conversation. Without being a high pressure situation. I like that. I think. Okay. You know what? Bowling. Go for it. This is the cure. And you know what? Then you'll know. Or here's. Here's. Can I? Yes. And you, Nick, please say, hey, I'm going to invite three of my friends. You invite three of your friends. Mm hmm. If he is, he bringing the relationship couple. Is he bringing the couple who he brings is actually right. Did I cook? You did cook. That's a sizzle. I think. I think depending on who he brings really tells a lot. Is he bring one friend and a couple that's like, or, or maybe ask him to bring four friends because then he read two couples. Are you willing to have the conversation? And you can't have a conversation. Kills the vibes. But, but, but you got it. Half this conversation. Are you willing to have the conversation? And if it doesn't go well, that it's over or you'd rather just leave it where it is. Then, you know, then, you know, yeah, it's time. It's been too long. All right. Then I have a conversation. If it all works out. Every time you go bowling. So how'd you guys meet? You're like, funny story. Nick Jonas. My good friend, Nick Jonas. My good friend. Nick always tells me to go bowling. Yeah. Good luck. Get a turkey. Thank you. That's a bowling reference. Okay. Bye. Preference? It's a bowling preference. I prefer turkeys. Okay. Wow. By the way, she just, I love that. She was like, I don't have any questions, but I do have the craziest thing to tell you about. That was great. That was what we wanted. So we didn't ask if you have a question. We were like, what do you want to talk about? Do you need legal advice? Do you have, do you have something? We're going next. Send it. Raw pod. Raw podding the phone. The appropriate use. Right there. Raw pod. That was my favorite. It's a good one. You just fill it up with brother stuff next time. Okay. I have no idea what it's about. Hold on. Right there. What are we talking about? We need to know. I want to know what the text is about. What's the tea about the text? What did the text say? Yeah. What's going on with the text? We want to know. We want to know the tea. Who's texting who? Is this real? Yeah, it's real. This is Kevin, Nick, and Joe. Serious? Yeah. It's called our hotline. Don't be surprised. I saw the number on Instagram. Yeah. Turns out things on Instagram are real. I know. This is the first time you got a number on Instagram and it worked. I just told my fiance I'm calling with zero context. I was like, I hope if they pick up, I have no idea what to even say. So tell us about the craziest thing that's happened to you in the last five days. That's good. I went on my bachelorette trip to Nashville. Oh, Nashville's a crazy town. Nice. Congratulations to start. How was Nashville? Do you remember? It was unreal. We had 10 of us and we just bounced around and lived it up for the weekend. Did you guys get one of those, the bar bikes? Where you get on a bike and you drink? We actually didn't, but we passed a bunch of them and they were screaming to us and lots of loud music. So I love it. When is the wedding? September 12th. Congratulations. Great day. Fantastic day. Good wedding day. Your wedding is a Virgo. It's not too hot. It's not going to be cold. It's going to be like the perfect temperature. I'm a Virgo as well. Like April 25th. It's like the perfect day. You're a Virgo as well. When's your birthday? August 31st. Nice. Love it. Joe nearly made the Virgo train, but he's- I was going to say, you're close, right? Ish. Close-ish. August 15th. What is your fiance's name? His name's Anthony. Anthony. Well, congrats to you and Anthony. How long have you guys been together? Three years. Nice. Lovely. Perfect. Well, congrats to you and Anthony. So do you have any questions for us or you just want to like call the line and see what happened? Well, that was to begin with, but I guess a question, what made you guys want to start a podcast? I know you're busy all the time. It's a great question. We want to be busier. Well, you know, honestly, we love to talk and we said somebody just was like, you guys should do this on mics. Enough of that singing crap. It's time for a pie. Have you heard an episode yet? Yes, actually. I did. I did yesterday. Very nice. Thank you for listening. And thank you so much. Well, you guys, congrats. It's time for our next caller. We'll talk to you soon. See you later. Have a good one. Thank you guys so much. You too. So lovely. Hi, how's it going? This is Hey Jonas podcast. How are you? Hello. Yeah. Hello. How are you? I'm so good. Great. Talking to Christina. Hi, Christina. Where are you calling from? Chicago. White Sox or Cubs? Chi-Town. Cubs. Did you go see Bruno Mars? No, I did not. We were in Vegas last week. We saw you two times. Oh, you did? Even better. Yeah. What night? Even better. It was better. It was great. What nights? Which nights? Which set list did you get? Wednesday and Friday. We added Friday on. I had no plan on going Friday. After Wednesday, I knew I had to do it again. I wanted to do Friday, but I had to fly home early on Saturday. But I said, I'm doing both. Did you have a good time in Vegas outside the shows? Oh, yeah. Great time in Vegas. I want to go back already. I loved it. Did you win some money? No, I didn't gamble. I wanted to save my money for other things. Right, Kevin? Yeah. We could have used that advice when we were in Vegas. So, question. We are giving advice tonight. Or today, depending on when you're listening to this podcast. Do you have any advice that you need from the Jonas Brothers that you're dying to ask? Oh, God. I don't know. I wasn't expecting to be calling you tonight. I do not know. It's okay. Or advice. Advice. I work in a daycare, and I think I have a horrible time right now. I've been thinking about quitting my job. I don't think, it's not the kids. It's the people I'm working with. It's the management. I've been asking everybody, should I quit? Do you like working with children? I love children. It is super rewarding, but the management is so hard. That is tough. Yeah. What makes it difficult? It is. It's the management. Have you explored looking at other daycares in the area before you quit or resign? I've thought about it, but there's not. Would you stay in the field? There's benefits, but then there's not benefits, you know? Yeah. I hear you. The job's the job. I appreciate what you do. That's pretty cool. But you know what? I feel like if you're not enjoying your workplace, that's tough. I think it's just when you go in, you get very stressed every day. Because it's not like a baby boss runs the place. It's an adult human. No, it's a very hard boss. Yeah. An old, mean boss. Well, I'd give you the advice of explore other options. Before you leave your job. Yeah, before you leave your job. Good point. But if it's a toxic workplace, then **** them and get out. It is. But I like my coworkers. It's all management. Maybe you start your own. You know what? I thought about it. I hit two at once. Sorry. I think you... Hey, I could be the moment. Christina's day care for... Day care. There you go. Christina's day care. You know what? Maybe you band together with your team that you love working with. And you create a new environment that is Christina's heavenly environment, Joe. I think that's a good idea. As long as you don't get sued for taking all the people... Check the contracts that you signed. Here, maybe just float the idea. Be like, oh, I'm going to start my own day care. And see if anybody picks up on it. Not like an actual offer. You know what though? We've already talked about it. We have our own secret group chat where we talk about opening up our own day care. But we didn't go for a good idea. Now is the time. Well, just make sure to hire a great... Somebody that knows this side of the business. I can only imagine working with children. There's a lot of responsible things you have to get in place. Like insurance and legal matters. So make sure those things are covered. And stuffed animals. Those are also important. Equally as important. And as we know as parents and a lot of guards on corners. In any scenario. Buy round tables though. Whether you land somewhere else or you start your own thing. We wish you the best of luck. And thanks for what you're doing. As a childcare professional, coming to a Jonas Brothers show means a lot. Thank you. I love that. I hope to see you again soon. We will. See you later, Christine. We'll see you next time. We can't wait to hear about your day care. Next up. I said heavenly and you didn't hit the heavenly button. You can't tell me what to do with my soundboard. It's like a feeling thing. I feel it and I had to hit it. Nobody tells me to push my buttons. Okay. Got another caller. Free food. And there was a ---- ton of food. Where? We need to know. Where was there a ---- ton of food? Tell us everything. Oh my god. What? Yeah. Hi. We heard your story. We want to hear more. Give it to us. What happened? I was at your Atlanta concert. And there was a ---- ton of food. And there was a lot of food? Or is that something completely separate? Yeah. No, there was a ---- ton of food because we were in the State Farm club seats. Also, you didn't see my sign that I had. Joe reads the sign. That's on him. Hold on. You were bowling out in the State Farm suite? What kind of food are we talking about? First of all, it's hard to see the signs when you're in a box, girl. Go off, queen. Tell me. Did you work for State Farm, one? Did you have a friend that has the box? Or are you just crashing the State Farm box? What's going on? No, I've been with you guys. I've been with you guys since day one. But we're not with State Farm. I'm 30. We are not State Farm. What do you mean? Actually, this episode was brought to you by State Farm. Prove us wrong. Bring on the State Farm. Wait, so first of all, what's your name? Riley. Riley of State Farm. So give us the whole story. So you get to the show. You get in the box. And you're like, oh, there's so much food here. A buffet? What are we talking about? They won't even see my sign. There's too much food. Was the food there like when you arrived? Or was it like brought out during the concert? I don't know. Have you never been to a concert before? It was there when we arrived. There you go. Sometimes it's there. Sometimes it's not. No, it was my first concert. Was it like lasagna? We talking chicken fingers? Chicken fingers? What did we have? There was actually chicken fingers and hot dogs. Okay, that's good. That's solid. With some ranch dressing on the side. Essentially. Fantastic. So there was a ton of food, but. It was a ---- ton of food, actually. That's what she said. We're giving out advice, Riley. So if you've got any advice, we're here for it. If you've got anything. Or if you'd like us to give you advice. That's what I mean. No, sorry. We're giving out advice. If I have advice? No, Joe's confusing. Do you have anything to ask us? I'm sorry. Please forgive me for what I've said. I didn't think this was going to be answered, so now I don't know. It's understandable. What advice would you like to give a 30-year-old woman whose first concert was the Jonas Brothers? Was it the first concert at the State Farm Box, or was that just we were your first show? No, I was in like eighth grade, I think. How's the weather looking tomorrow in Atlanta? It's a relevant question, I promise. Rainy. Okay, our advice to you would be, take an umbrella with you in the morning. Okay, thank you. That was really deep. And I would say, you've made incredible decisions in your life. You've never given a more sincere line reading in your life. Oh my God. Joe is an actor. Okay, now we've got time for the next caller. Who we got? Hey, it's Hey Jonas. This is the Jonas Brothers. Hello? Hi, it's Chelsea. How are you guys? We're so good, Chelsea. How are you? I'm doing great. Fantastic. So what do you want to know? What can we help you with? I think, you know, you guys are in your 30s now, and a lot of us are getting to that point where we are hitting our 30s. I'm 30 right now. Congratulations. You made it. Thank you. I know, it's so great, right? So I would say, what would you think is the best piece of advice that maybe you have now that you guys are in that point in your life, or a piece of advice that you've heard as you got into that point? That's great. Well, happy birthday. Belated. Just sometime in the year. Well, she says, I'm 30s now, so I assumed her birthday was this year. I just turned 30 like a couple months ago. My birthday is actually four days before Kevin's. Oh, nice. That's amazing. So we're both Scorpios. Yeah, we are. Scorpio queen. The best advice, I think that I can't speak for all three of us, or I can, but the best advice I've received is, you know, I think going into your 30s, like 20s, you think you know everything and you actually don't know anything. And in 30s, it's like, you know more and you know how to deal with the problems a bit better. You're not great at them, but you take, you roll with the punches a lot better. Right. And so I feel like being able to just wake up every day with gratitude, be able to be like, wow, I'm so grateful that I get to wake up and be in my 30s and make my own decisions. I think that's awesome. It's incredible. Good on you. And happy early birthday. In five months. Thanks for calling. Thank you. Talk to you soon. Bye Chelsea. Thanks so much. Love you guys. Love you. You too. That was great. I thought I did a good job there. I was kind of. You were kind of treading water. I could feel it. I was treading water. You guys were just like, yeah, that's fine. I don't really know how to answer that question though, because it's a tough one. I feel in some ways I know a lot more about myself in my thirties and in others. I feel like I'm a completely different person than who I was 10 years ago. I actually think that, I think the second on that, which scares me at times. Let's get real. Let's call my therapist. That'd be fun. Actually, she's on the line right now. All right, let's do another caller. Hello. You're lying. Are you serious? We are serious. Hi, this is Kevin, Nick and Joe. You're listening to HeyJonas. You're calling into HeyJonas. No, she's listening. Wow. That's crazy. True. Oh my gosh. Okay. First off, shout out to my sister and her daughter, Henley. They've been calling in too. And I know that they're going to ---- themselves. And they're episode one. Okay. We're giving out advice. If you have any advice that you need to receive. I had sort of a question in mind, but I can, I can rephrase it for advice. Or a question. It's fine. The question is totally fine. It doesn't have to be advice. Kind of a serious question then. Less fun. But I've been curious. So like at Coachella, Justin Bieber giving testimony in front of millions of people in front of the world. Did that kind of spark you guys to maybe start talking about your, like your own faith again? Or were you feeling convicted for some other, some other reason? I guess that's kind of a question for Nick. Yeah, I don't, I wouldn't frame it as convicted at all. I think that what Justin did was beautiful. And the song I put out with, I assume you're talking about the Brandon Lake song. Yes. Yeah. So that's an example of, of two people from different genres coming together to find in which ways they're similar and where they overlap. And, you know, going back to our journey with, with faith and religion in the earlier days of our lives, the church was a big part of our life, but we had to find our own journey. I assume that by asking this question, you're someone of faith or have a religious background. I am, yes. Yeah. And so I've really admired you coming out and talking about it because I know that's kind of not what's cool in this world right now. I actually, I don't beg to differ. I think that more and more people are getting in touch with their faith because of how messed up things are in the world. And becoming a father really shaped things for me and made me want to dig deep and talk about the central theme of that song, which is that there is a plan for your life. And you don't have to be a person that believes in Jesus and God to understand that, that there's some plan in place. And Brandon and I spent a lot of time talking about that. And I came in with this title and was really inspired to say, how can I put this feeling that I know my, my life is in good hands into a song. And it's the beautiful thing about collaboration is that two very different walks of life, different experiences, we can come together to do something that has real impact and is based in both biblical truth, but also just the main truth, which is love. We find a way to love each other and meet each other with compassion and empathy. I think Bieber has done a great job of that in his life, both publicly and personally. He always meets people with empathy and love. And the fact that he's doing it on a big stage like that is great and inspiring a lot of people. It wasn't the thing that had me going into the session back in December and writing that song, but it certainly continues this, this conversation around love, empathy, compassion in a time when I think we need it most. Yeah, for sure. Amen. Love that. Thank you for your question. Thanks for coming along. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks for answering. That was so cool. All right. Thank you. Segway, I'm ordained. It's true. You're a pastor. I'm actually a minister. I've married many couples. I've married, I think, four couples now. I had a feeling one of our callers would, would ask about that or, you know, not specifically Bieber, but like the song. And I think what's great about the hotline is that it's a chance to really connect with people and, and meet each other where we're at on topics that are fun, funny, real, real, and, and also uncomfortable. And I think we're okay with that. And it's a platform in a setting that no one's ever seen us in. Sure. I totally agree. The more we go out into the deep end and answer some of these questions, I think the better. For sure. I can swim. Because my media training was, was three years ago. Three years ago. And it's popping. He's on fire. You do not have a burning up one. He's on fire. And he's holy. Okay. Next up. Hello. Hi. How's it going? Oh my gosh. Wow. Great. Yeah. Who's this? This is Alina. Hi guys. Why would you spell it with an I or an E? It's an I. Okay. Close enough. Close enough to his daughter's name. I think her name is just fine. Oh, to be close to someone's name. We spell it. Yes. But out of context. That's really funny. She might not know her daughter's name is Alina. I didn't know that. Not. Yeah, I did know. Okay. She did. Okay. She did. I assumed she knew. All right. What's up Alina? Alina. I don't know. I just got a new smartwatch. Oh, tell us about it. How many steps you get in today? I pulled none because I literally just got it. I was like waiting for the package while I was off calling. Yeah. I probably will after this. Kevin loves walking. I don't mind it. I don't, but I'm trying to love it. Where are you calling from? We'll get there. From Seattle. Seattle. Yeah. The windy city. No, wait. That's not it. No, that's not it. San Diego. Not bad. Okay. We are giving advice out for free. Okay. Wow. So if you have anything you need advice on, it could be anything. Plumbing. Other stuff. Apple smartwatches. It's actually a good app I can give you for your smartwatch. Okay. Sure. Yeah. What's that good smartwatch app you have? Pokemon Go. Yeah. Really? Good app. You can get that? I think you can get it on your iPod. Yeah. That's cool. Give the windy city of Seattle our best. And thank you for calling. We'll see you next time. Yeah. Have fun. I will. Bye. Great fun for you guys. Side note. We met Dave Matthews last time we were in Seattle. Yes. At a sandwich shop. He was so cool. That's so great. The Brooks store where we got free shoes. Shout out to the Brooks team. They hooked us up. And then we had the most amazing sandwich. That sandwich was so good. And we knew it was good when Dave Matthews was coming with his in-laws or parents. But it was sick. Let's get him on the pod. I have a great Dave Matthews story. Yeah. That's just this. The end of the story. What is the story? We just told a great Dave Matthews story. Can you do the thing? Remember when mom got her car? Yes. This is a true story. Our mom got a new car. She was so excited about it. No, it's okay. You brought to one of us. We're not going to call you out on your BS. We're not going to call you on this. Okay. So Denise Jonas, our mother, gets this car. She's raving about it. So excited. And Kevin comes in and goes, oh, no, no. That's so cool. I said one better. A version of that. Right? I'm not crazy. It's just she has like the display, like the camera display and you're, and she was like, okay. The intention was to say that it's great that you guys have this similar car. Similar or not. Similar like the name. Alina with an I. He's like, oh, you still have like a CD player? That's so weird. Alina with an I. Oh, close enough. Because it's rare to meet with an E. And I have met a few. That's all. Any other letter? Okay. Context. Should we get the next caller on? Sure. Let's do it. In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms at the center on either side of the cell. Hello? Hi. What are we learning about? The phytoplasm in the center of the cell is extremely injured. Oh my gosh. What the heck? Hi. What's going on? Who is this? It's not entertaining at all. What are you studying for? It's Hannah. What are we studying? It's a prereq for my paramedic. It's just anatomy and physiology. Very nice. Very cool. So you're studying to be a paramedic or you already are? You're just tuning it up. I'm an EMT right now. So I'm studying for my paramedic. Oh, amazing. Thanks for what you do. Where are you, Hannah? Where are you based? We don't need your address. Just where are you based? Orlando. Wow. The Windy City. Yeah. Do you watch The Pit? I love The Pit. It's such a good show, right? I watch it, yeah, because that stuff kind of grosses me out. It's not like that. No, it's pretty crazy. You hear like when they're like cutting a body open, the gooeyness. I'm like, I don't want to watch that show. It's not like that. It's not a soap opera either. It's just a great show. It's a great show. Not that there's anything wrong with soap operas. It's so cool. We love soap operas. Shout out. Big fan. It's great. Okay, Hannah, we are giving out advice tonight because we just felt like it. Exactly. We'd love to know if you need any advice on anything. If you don't, that's fine too. I actually do need advice, but okay. Let's give it a shot. We'll see if we know it. You know, unless this is not something you'll feel comfortable talking about. Wait, just like any, just wait. To give you some background, Hannah, we've been giving out dating advice. We've given advice. Nick has been giving pastoral advice. We've been putting it out there. But Jo's actually a pastor. I'm the only minister here. I guess this goes along with like the dating, I guess. I don't know. So I met this guy like a year ago. And just last week, he like re-entered my life, I guess, in a sense. I just got chills. I'm not joking. I did. It's cute. Literally, I'm so like, I'm actually in my like, I hate men era. And he just like randomly appeared out of nowhere. And he showed up at my job. He's like, yeah, I wanted to visit you, whatever. And we ended up like talking after work. And like, it was very cutesy. And, but he's in a situation with an on and off again girlfriend. They're not really working out right now. Yeah. This is a serious moment, Jo. Stop it. Here's the question. How on and off are we talking? And is it currently off? It's currently off. Cause like, yeah. Okay. So it's off. So that means it could be on for you. I also don't want to be like that girl either. No, I get it. It's not what you want. Go off, Hannah. Self-respect goes a long way. So he came to visit you at work. I assume not as a patient. We don't want to assume. Cause it would be really cute if he like got an injury. Actually, I was working at my other job at a water park. No, he's a firefighter. He's a firefighter. This is kind of giving an episode of The Pit. Well, it's not. Take it from a guy who's never seen it. Okay, let's get serious. I've actually been crashing out about this all day today. I get it. By the way, I get it. And the womp womp womp was because I'm like, that breaks my heart. That was a break of heart of my heart. How did it feel to see him again after like a year? And then he messages me saying that like he misses me and yada, yada, yada. But then like, he don't do anything about it because of the situation. He used to work at my old job, but then I left. So I hadn't seen him in a while. And I've been trying to get on with a fire department. And he's a firefighter for said fire department. You're a badass, Hannah. So we kind of have just been like running into each other again. I think it's time for a candlelit dinner and a real conversation. I don't like he won't. He won't go out with me. I'm not talking about going out. It's not what I'm talking about. I need a bump bump bump button. I think it's time for like a movie night. You need to, you know, a little bit of romance needs to be displayed. But she said he will not do that. That was a red flag to me. I'm just going to say it. I did catch that. Yeah, because we met up after work and like we talked in the car for like, till like three in the morning. Whoa, whoa. We don't know what time your shifts might be. Yeah, I think it's time to go bowling. But like, I don't want to be. I don't want to be that girl. I told him, I said, I said, let me know when you figure it out. So he's still in the situation. You said that's good. That's great. But he kissed me, so I'm like, what the hell? It's pissing me off. Your heart is not to be played with, Hannah. And if somebody's going to be messing with your heart, then goodbye. That's their loss. You seem like a really nice person. And you laid, you laid, you put your foot down and said, hey, hey, you need to figure that out. Otherwise, I'm good. And I understand the crash because you're like, this is an annoying place to be. But I think he's on ice now. We got to put him up. We cannot be responding. You have to be like, respectfully, Hannah, is my advice, our advice. Just being like, yo, listen, I'm going to take a little, I'm going to take a little bit. I'm going to take a couple steps back. I don't think we should be communicating romantically or even this flirty because you're in your thing. And until that's figured out, I don't want to be that girl. Yeah. Or that person. Yeah. Nobody wants to be a second choice. And it's just so, it's so annoying. It's so hard because I'm such a lover girl and then piss me off. Well, well, somebody deserves your love. And it's not him if he's not the right guy. Yeah, I guess. I've had the worst luck in the dating scene. It's going to turn around. Because you know what? You're inspiring a lot of people on this call. I'm sure that are like in the same situation. They're like, you know what? Go off queen. It's time. No bowling. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you for what you do. Good luck. Stay strong. Maybe the guy or person that's meant for you is listening right now. And it's like, I'm going to go to every EMT and be like, who here has worked at a water park? I really hope not because that's so embarrassing. Oh my God. Okay. Thank you so much, guys. I love y'all. Stay safe. We got one more caller. Who works at a water park? Used to. We got one more caller. Hello. This is Hey Jonas. Hello. Hey, how's it going? Hi. Howdy doody. Hello. How are you? I'm pretty good. We're out. We're over here answering advice. Giving advice. ****. I'm sorry. I screwed that up. Sorry. Cursed. That works. I'm not. You're good. All right. Cool. I don't know. We got it. We had a spiritual call earlier and it really threw me off and I feel like I can't curse anymore. I'm back in grade school. I'm in the second pew of our church. No, you can curse. You're safe. All right. You're safe with me. I understand. Thank God. So hi. Tell us about your life. What's your name? First of all. My name is Desiree. Hi Desiree. Nice to meet you. Where are you calling from? I am calling from North Carolina. Which part? I talked to you actually. I talked to you actually at the Charlotte show. Nice. Very nice. I requested games. Oh, great request by the way. You guys, our parents have a restaurant not far from Charlotte. Yes, I've been there. It's very good. Thank you for that. Thank you for coming to check it out. Thank you for requesting games. We were just actually practicing that in sound check the other day because we wanted to play it again. But then no one requested it. I love it. Maybe we'll play it tonight. Yeah, maybe. Well, I'm here for you. So you called our hotline where we're answering questions and giving advice if you need it. Do you have something you'd like to either ask us or advice you'd like to be given? So I do have a question for you. So I am a mother. I have a two year old son and I have found being a parent has been very healing for me, very healing for my childhood traumas and things like that. So I was just curious what has been one of the most healing things about being a parent for you guys? Wow. Great question. I completely agree. How much time do you have? Yeah, I completely agree. Being a parent has been super healing. One of the things that I find is that I'm sort of constantly finding ways to explain things that I either took for granted or overlooked in everyday life and now because the questions are always, well, why is it like that? Everything from why is glass clear to why is the, and she wouldn't say it this way, but the establishment the way it is, why the rules like this? I've had to sort of remind myself of why and then also find a way to frame it so that this world that can be very intense and kind of overwhelming and scary at times feels a little less scary and intense. And that's helped me feel as well to say, okay, maybe it's not as bad as I thought it was, or maybe these things that I would just look at and go, okay, that's just part of life can actually be blessing again and just bring me joy in new ways. It's probably a combination of the simplicity of the way in which a four year old thinks and how beautiful that is. But also the wonder in her eye and her ability to see just the good in everything has helped me a lot. I love that. Someone gave me this advice and I don't know exactly. It was me. It was Joe. Someone gave me this advice and I think it was very, very profound for my own life because I have, I struggle with this at times, but it was that you have 10,000 hours before they leave for college. The math might be wrong. I can't, maybe I'm not remembering it exactly right, but the point that they're trying to make is the fact that like it is fleeting and the time you have is with them as children is so precious and so important. And before you know it, they're gone or they're moving on and they're, they're out of your life and they're out of your, your home maybe. And it's just incredible to think that the time we have with them now is the time that we'll be able to shape who they are and they're already becoming who they are and they're shaping you. And I've learned more from them being their father than I think I will ever teach them. Beautifully said, Kat. That's amazing. Desiree, you got me in my feels, I'll say that much. I'm a single dad and I co-parent with my children's mother. And so, um, I think my children have given me like purpose again in my life. I think like having them the reason I do what I do now and you know, you go to work, our work, it happens to be, we're grateful that it's what we love so much, but also like knowing that I get to work hard if I'm not with them and go back to my shared time where I get to be with them, it makes it so much better to, to work that much harder. And, um, they've, they've really like given me the reason to, to be alive, I would say, you know, I think like in my saddest moments, I'm able to be reminded quickly that a hug from them can solve the world's problems in my, in my own world. And I know I'm not hyper unique. There's a lot of people in my situation that are, are single parents and go through this and I'm grateful that I have a co-parent that I can balance even the bad days, but I think being able to have like good people around me to kind of help me navigate it is really special. And I think, uh, they've taught me that I'll be okay. Even in my toughest days. Yeah. That's beautiful. You guys all have really good answers. What's your son's name? Uh, Cairo. Cairo. Great name. And what do you, what do you like admire and love most about your son? Uh, he's a nut. I'll tell you that. He's so funny. He cracks me and my husband up on a regular basis. Like he's so silly and he's so smart and it's just amazing to see, I guess it's amazing to see like our different, um, personality traits show in him, but also he's taking those and like becoming his own little person now. You know, at two they start talking and really showing their personality. So he's just like blooming and it's so funny. I love it. Oh, that's so sweet. Awesome. That's amazing. Desiree. Shout out Cairo. Shout out to you and your husband. Thank you for your beautiful question. Absolutely. And I'm really happy that, you know, you're navigating this, what sounds like so well and what an inspiration you are to us now. Thank you. Appreciate you Desiree. Have a good one. Thanks for the request of games. Shout out to you. Yeah, for sure. Of course. All right. Bye-bye. We'll see you soon. All right. You guys, that was really fun. That was great. It's fun. You got way better with your soundboard. What do you mean I got way better? Way more like... Less trigger happy. Balanced. Yes. Balanced. I know. I was going to be doing... During Desiree's... That was our first sort of emotional moment on the show. I wasn't... You weren't about to cry. Nah. We don't do that. We don't do that here. All right. So we... You did a really good job answering that. Well, thanks guys for tuning in again. We'd love to do this again. And as always, bye-bye. Bye-bye.
