You know, guys, there's always a few people on your list who you really want to give a thoughtful gift to.
For me, it's definitely the people closest to me, the ones where you really want to feel personal and like you put some thought into it.
For those special people, turn to Sephora. They make it easy to pick out a really thoughtful gift.
Their beauty advisors are here for it with personalized recommendations that make your gift feel made just for them, even if you're not a beauty shopper.
Whether it's a little treat or a total showstopper, there's something for everyone. Shop gifts at Sephora and give something beautiful. Hey, Jonas is brought to you by Almond Breeze. It's time for some questions from the producers.
Yeah.
I've noticed you guys really like Almond Breeze Almond Milk. Who has the most specific way of drinking it?
Ooh.
Kevin's, you know what I found very interesting is how you will drink a carton to yourself. Yeah, straight off the dome. And he usually does it before show. Yeah, just really getting myself going. He needs it on stage. Why do you guys like Almond Breeze so much?
It's delicious.
Flavor's great, it's smooth, and honestly, it tastes great with coffee. True. Try Almond Breeze, trust us, it's really good. You've probably heard that good things come in threes. Like bacon, lettuce, tomato, rock, paper, scissors, Joe, Nick, Kevin, Jonas, obviously. And of course, Kleenex Lotion Tissues, which has three-in-one skin-loving benefits. It protects hands, soothes and moisturizes your skin, all of which are very good things, especially when it's cold and flu season. Kleenex Lotion Tissues also has three thick layers made with coconut oil and aloe, which means your skin will be thanking you at the end of the season. So you can get back to all those other good things that come in threes. For whatever happens next, grab Kleenex.
I am Steph and I work at United Healthcare. When I think about United Healthcare's members, I think of my own family. My niece was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic disorder. I know how hard it is for families at United Healthcare. We can make it easier.
I'm Brian. I care because I know what it's like to not speak the language. It's not easy. Health insurance is complicated. I would say our job is to make everything easy for our UFC members. I work for United Healthcare. I'm committed to care.
Jonas.
Hello, listeners.
Well, I think, I think we're supposed to refer to them as, hey, you.
Hey.
Hey. You. Listener suggests that they're just there to listen. We want to engage in real, meaningful conversation.
That's a great segue, Nick.
Yeah. Speaking of conversation.
Your bowl.
Okay, so this is a bowl we brought from home.
We did.
We all live together. Everyone knows the Jonas Brothers all live together in a firehouse.
And bunk beds.
So this bowl is a, this actually comes, this goes, this dates back to our early years as pastors' kids.
This was the tithing bowl. This is the tithing bowl. So if you reach in and you, you, you hope you can find $1 bills. The other day, we were asking each other questions and we felt like, okay, you know what? We feel like our audience knows this already. When you hear the sound, hold on, this sound. Hold on. It's gotta be, yeah. Gotta be better than that.
There you go.
Oh, yeah.
When you hear that sound, that means it's time for a bowl question. And we go, bowl. And if, and if we don't believe it, we go bullshit. Love it.
I'll back it up a little bit further with you, Joe. You always bring card games and other things to dinner. So.
I do.
You, you engage the audience.
Card game, meaning like get to know you games or get to know you better games, you know?
For example, they have random questions. Just like you're, our listeners call in or email us or text us or tweet us, whatever it is. We love to hear from you and you write us and we specifically ask that it wasn't Jonas related. I mean, it could be about our personal lives. But we like it's not like, what was the inspiration behind this song? Because I feel like those are things, those are things we've already discussed or, I don't know, it's our podcast. We can do whatever the hell we want. So for example, Kevin, would you rather have your group chat leaked on your, or your camera roll leaked?
Group chat, oh, camera roll.
What's on the camera roll?
I'd rather have that leaked. Less, less is on the camera roll, probably.
You sure about that?
Less, less? What does that mean?
Less nudity? He's nervous. I want to paint the picture for everyone listening right now.
Does the camera roll include the hidden account, like hidden, like one? I don't know.
I don't know.
What's there to hide? Um, well, there's more in that file. I'm asking, camera roll is not that file. So that's what I'm asking. I think you're safe then. Password protected? Now you have to leak it. Oh, that's, oh, I didn't know that. Got it.
You actually have to do the thing.
I'd rather, yeah, self-deprecate than the group chats that you never know what people say.
What about, what about you, Joe? Group chat or camera roll? Or jelly roll? No.
I would say, uh, camera roll or group chat. I would say probably group chat.
Yeah, some spicy stuff on some of those.
Hard to lie if it's your face in the photo, you know?
Yeah, it's true.
Although with the power of AI, this episode is sponsored by AI. OpenAI, Claude, all the stuff. Every AI possible. Um, yeah, I feel like it would be more damaging. I feel like, you know, my texts are pretty wild, but I don't think there's anything incriminating. But the thing is about the text, they're group chats, meaning like the other things people could say.
There's some wild cards in some of our group chats.
That's on them.
That's on them. Exactly. I can think of two people in particular, but I'd be like, this is worse for you than it is for me. Which is why in those situations, when they send one of those spicy messages out on the group chat, spicy meaning, you know.
Picante.
Picante. Thank you.
Come on, say spicy.
Picante. This actually, this episode is sponsored by.
Picante. Picante.
Picante Lite.
Wherever, wherever you get your spice.
Let's go to the next questionable.
Okay. Nick, why don't you pull one?
It's satisfying every time.
Who are you asking?
It can be like all of us can answer it.
Yeah, I think it's just like, it's because we don't know what they are. So it doesn't really.
Would you rather always be 30 minutes early or 30 minutes late?
Hmm, early.
You'd rather be early by thirty minutes.
By thirty. Thirty's a lot, though.
A lot.
Depends. If I'm flying, I don't like to be, I like to be much earlier than thirty minutes for your flight. I, I would definitely have to be.
You cut it close.
Kevin likes to cut it close.
To flights.
I'm like, I'm there in time.
Well, sure, but.
If I'm checking bags, I'm, I'm definitely like.
This isn't a critique. This is just.
No, no, I'm just saying, I, I definitely am close to the cutoffs.
You like to, you like to go right up to the last minute.
And walk right on the plane.
I would like to be early because I think, you know, people take real offense to being late. And I don't like offending people, but also don't want to spend, you know, thirty minutes over X number of things I would have to be at per day. Could, could rack up pretty fast.
Oh, my God.
Suddenly, eight hours of my day.
It's just being early.
Well, that's kind of an unrealistic number. Let's say, let's say four hours of my day. Five hours, maybe. It's just being early.
I'll tell you a story about being early that, that was a ruiner for me. It was an audition. I was auditioning for, um.
Oh, boy, I'm blanking. Uh. And no.
Spider-Man.
We don't need to name all the things I didn't get. I would like to.
It's, it's one of two of them.
What's the one about the news anchors, the amazing actresses that are?
Morning Show.
The Morning Show. And, um, it was the Morning Show. I was my callback and it was to play like a young anchor that they have in the show.
I could love interest for Jennifer Aniston.
Jennifer Aniston. I think it was the kind of like, very like. Handsome, talented. Handsome, male. You know, like very right wingy, like podcast host guy. Couldn't have been me.
Interesting.
Long story short, I show up early. They're like, oh, and they did this thing, which was very kind, but they're like, oh, we have a, because it was auditioning a lot of. Very handsome. A very handsome young gentleman. And they were like, oh, we have a, we have a private room for you. I was like, lovely. Okay. So they put me in this private room and this is the saddest room you can imagine. Similar to this room if we took away the Shane Gray dolls. And it was just these little blinds that all the lights were off and they didn't work and I could hear clear as day. All the guys auditioning and I was like, they're like, we'll just have two guys before you. And these guys.
They're killing it?
Or crushing it. Like, ah, oh my God. I can hear as clear, I'm, I'm, I didn't bring headphones. So I'm just like literally sitting in silence, reading the lines and I'm like, and I go in and I just like crash and burn so I can't even, I did the terrible thing. They're like, oh, you can, you can, you can use the, you can read off, off paper for this. I'm like, I got it. Oh, I'm like, I'm good. And it was literally like, I don't even know what I'm auditioning for, just like me forgetting the name of the morning show. It was just gone for me and it was such a bad audition. I was like, ugh.
Bad auditions happen. Would you say that's, that's your worst audition? Cause I have, I've got plenty of terrible auditions.
I think also wicked was a bit of a strange one because there was like incredible theater vocalists I could hear. Clear as day. Um, I feel like with the advances in technology, nobody should be waiting for anything. You should just be like, all right. You're up at this time. 358, show up, we'll walk you right in the door.
So I met with a director for this, this big movie. I'm not going to say what movie it is and people can guess in the comments or wherever they.
Passion of the Christ.
Resurrection.
I just, it was a big movie and um, I didn't really realize that it was a, it was a director meeting. And the director also produces as most do. And so I went into the meeting and started talking about the film and what the take was going to be and this, that, the other and, and thought he was just producing the film. Didn't realize that when I asked him, oh, and, and who's directing? And his response was, well, me. I was like, oh.
And you were like, ah, gotcha.
I wanted to die inside at that moment. I did die inside and one of our very good friends happened to be in the movie in the end and. I called him after the meeting and I said, I think I screwed up. I asked the director who's directing.
He said, yeah, that's tough, man.
It's a tough one to come back from that one.
It's okay. Things happen.
I had an audition once when we were younger and the guy that was auditioning me said to me in the room, maybe we try it a different way because I can clearly tell that you don't have any acting experience.
Well.
I was like, well, okay. I guess I'm not getting this role.
This is Nick Jonas.
This is Kevin Jonas. And Joe Jonas from Hey Jonas. This episode is brought to you by State Farm. There's something satisfying about getting something that fits you perfectly.
Like child sized fuzzy socks?
I was thinking more like a horror movie subscription, but sure.
And that's the point. When something is personalized for you, it fits differently. State Farm can help you personalize coverage to fit your life and budget.
So basically child sized fuzzy socks level fit?
You said it, not me. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
Ever given a gift that kind of just fell flat?
You can always tell because they, they say what it is out loud. Like, oh, wow, socks. Thank you.
Yeah, definitely. It's definitely happened to me. You think you nailed it and then you see their face and immediately realize, yeah, maybe I should have gone with something they'd actually be excited to open. Now just skip the gift you thought they would like and you should probably just go to Sephora.
Because Sephora is basically the secret to gifts that always deliver joy.
And their beauty advisors make it easy on you. Even if you're not a beauty shopper, tell them who you're shopping for and they'll point you towards something perfect. That's nice. Or bring them your whole list. Their gifts are honestly so good.
So this holiday season, instead of getting in your own head about it, let's all say it together.
We all Sephora. You get to skip the stress and still give a truly thoughtful gift. And everyone you love ends up with something they'll adore. The kind of thing they'd never think of or ask for, but secretly, deep down, were really hoping for.
Shop gifts at Sephora and give something beautiful.
Hey Jonas is brought to you by Almond Breeze. It's time for some questions from the producers.
All right. Who started drinking almond breeze almond milk first?
Actually, I think that was you, Nick. I think it was. Yeah, you're like, you know, guys, I tried this almond breeze in my coffee today.
Changed the game for me. All right, who's the most likely to finish the last carton of Almond Breeze and not replace it?
That's Kevin.
Kevin, of course.
Yeah. That's someone else's job. Take it, Kev.
What's the most random place you drank Almond Breeze?
The last time I visited the Empire State Building.
Ah, that's a random place for sure. I've noticed you guys really like Almond Breeze almond milk.
Mm-hmm.
Who has the most specific way of drinking it?
Ooh. Ooh, um, Kevin's, you know what I found very interesting is how you will drink a carton to yourself. Yeah, just straight out the dome. And he usually does it before show. Yeah, just really getting myself going. He needs it on stage.
Okay, last question, why do you guys like Almond Breeze so much?
Oh, it just tastes great.
It's a great alternative.
It is great.
It's simply because it's really good.
True. Try Almond Breeze, trust us, it's really good.
On that note, how about you pick a question from the bowl? Cool.
Would you rather always have to sing instead of talk or always have to dance instead of walk? I'm really confused, one more time? Sing instead of talk or always have to dance instead of walk?
Only, you know, I was thinking about it actually during sound check today. You think about this question? A little bit. And I don't know why my brain went there, but I was looking at this catwalk and I was like, it was during our mega mix.
And for those of you who don't know what that is, we do a medley of songs from our discography, but solo Nick, DNC solo, solo Joe.
Yeah, and it's mega.
I was looking at the catwalk and it's a, it's a fat, like a thick, thick boy catwalk.
Wow.
Yeah. And I was like, It's fatty. Damn, I wish I could do some flips on that thing. We used to flip a lot. Yeah. We did, but I'm like, there are certain musicians out there who are just like, they'll just be like, real quick, let me just bust out a double.
Say his name.
On the pod, say it. I can't, I mean,
Future guest of, of the pod, I'm sure. Benson, Benson Boom.
Dude, Benson will, Benson would, He's gonna flip, dude. He's fully flipped. He's flipping right now, listen to this. I wanna see the flips in life, I think it's great. No, no, I think it's amazing, I'm just saying, like, I was sitting there, I'm like, damn, it'd be so cool if I was just like, like Nick singing, I'm like, and then I'm just flipping.
And, and also just like, because we had Teeny as a special guest in Argentina, and like, she has like this very like popular like move that she does now on stage, and I'm seeing it all over TikTok, and I'm like, it's just casual, like, let's just,
She has a signature move?
It's kind of a signature thing, it's with her shoulders, it's like her shoulders.
That's cool.
Check it out, she has a lot of shoulders.
We need to do a Signature move.
Yeah, we do. We do little things.
Little things.
We all turn at the same time.
It's really impressive. We all can turn at the same time and sometimes.
Sometimes you forget.
And sometimes you forget. So to answer that question, I would like to be able to dance anywhere I go and.
People, I want to hear like, ooh.
I think dancing would be special.
I'm going to pull one more and then I think we're going to jump on to more important things.
I love that.
True, true dad. Let's do this one real quick. Would you rather always have wet socks or always have popcorn stuck in your teeth?
Oh, probably. I think I could deal with the wet socks over the popcorn. The popcorn, when it gets in there and you can't get it, I think it's the most jarring thing in the world. Can't speak negatively about popcorn though, as popcorn. It's not negative. It's just.
I don't want to eat the kernel and that's what gets stuck. These both suck majorly. Wet socks is a terrible feeling. It is, but when that thing's in the back of your tooth and you can't get it and for the life of you. That's, that does suck. I've had to go to the dentist just to get a kernel out.
How often do you go to the dentist?
Uh, I was not going for a very long time and then I have now gone more periodically, every four months I go.
Four months, wow.
I've had a lot of work that has to be done after vaping.
Oh, and the truth is revealed. Kevin is a recovering vapors.
I am.
Vapor.
Even that's not good.
As it came out of my mouth, I thought, that's probably not. A person who used to vape.
Yes.
Clip it. An electronic cigarette using individual. Yes, exactly. And I was pretty addicted. Just for the listeners at home and for those that are driving and listening to this or listening as they walk.
Those are the only options.
Or cycle. To break it down, Kevin skipped a step. He never smoked cigarettes. He went straight to vaping.
Cause that's what cool kids do.
This was like a teenager does, but a man and their 20, 27 year old and probably when you, when you start, when you start puffing puffing. When, when you start puffing the, the sweet juice? You know that, I know, I know when it was, uh, 2016. Oh, and then when'd you, when'd you get off the sauce? 2019 and quit during the, our, that tour, the happiness begins tour. Yeah. And it was tough. But you weaned off using, um, nicotine toothpicks, which then I had to then quit those as well.
You did that thing which drove me nuts. He would crumple those toothpicks up and leave them all over the place.
I was, and I would be embarrassed about all of this myself constantly.
And I made the change because I stopped, I didn't want to be disgusting anymore and leaving that toothpick. Regardless, I'm proud of you.
Yeah, proud of you.
And my teeth got soft and I.
Is that, was that a side effect? Your teeth get soft?
Like there's some gum stuff like I just was, I was just, maybe it had nothing to do with the vaping. Big vape out there. I don't know. They're sponsored by, uh.
I've got a feeling they're not sponsoring this one.
Yeah. But the reality, reality for me was I think I had more work to be done in that timeframe. Right. Then I probably, okay, you needed. So I go more periodically now. I got the, I got my teeth whitened right before we left here. I don't. Did you got, you got your teeth whitened? We have the same dentist, by the way. No, I'm off. I found a new person. Wow. Scandalous. Bummer. He's awesome. Anyway, um, he fixes all the like hockey players.
This is controversial though. He doesn't think, we can't talk about.
You don't think he's great?
I, this is why you guys shouldn't share dentists and stuff. Cause it's complicated. It's like a therapist.
I went to a new dentist. Let me just put it this way. My new dentist, dentist, which a new dentist would say this. She said.
Who told you you don't have any cavities?
Mm hmm.
And I was like, uh, I said, my brother's dentist. I'm gonna say this right now. I think there is a game about dentists that you should get a second opinion always because I believe that there are cavities in there or not cavities in there. And depending, how do I know? Oh, you have a cavity. That looks like a cavity. Are you sure?
This episode, this episode brought to you by Big Dentistry.
Seven cavities I had.
Seven.
And I was like, yeah, oh yeah. It was two. That sounds like somebody needed to get that, uh, that, that drill money. Maybe, I don't know. I feel better.
Some shots being fired today on the pod.
I'm flossing more. Well, I love my dentist. He's great. He's fixed my mouth.
I'm happy for you both.
I'm, I'm just saying my dent, my dent, new dentist doesn't like your dentist. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying, I'm not saying I don't like him. I'm just saying my, no. All right. Honestly, we talked about the dentist. Nick, you probably need to go see a dentist, but bye bye.
That feels very accusatory. I do see the dentist and I will tell you, actually on my last visit, zero cavities.
Wow. Zero cavities. There was a big break. I'm sorry. I didn't know that. There was a big break. You were saying, I need to go to this.
In my adult life with adult teeth, I've, or even just, you know, these, whatever, I've never had a cavity.
Judgment free zone?
Said no family member ever. Um, is there a relation at all to good teeth, healthy teeth? And type one diabetics? Because.
Uh, let's pull up, uh, let's, uh, chat for that now.
You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying because like, you're not, you're not grabbing like sugary stuff all the time.
All the time. Now there's a, I will say.
Please.
A lot of people are misinformed on diabetics and they think they're like, oh no, you can't have this because it has sugar, has, has sugar in it, right? That drives me crazy as your brother. Um, so for those of you who are out there that just do your research because that's not how it actually it is. But I am curious because it's something that.
There might be.
You don't go and grab like a sugary snack that often. Oh.
It's actually the opposite.
It's the opposite.
More likely.
So.
Type one diabetics are more prone to cavities and other tooth issues.
Okay, so.
Counterintuitive.
Counter tooth.
I guess I'm the anomaly.
That just says you're taking care of yourself.
Yeah, no, I mean, that's interesting. I'd never thought about that. But also, I feel like if you're, if you're looking for a cavity, you're gonna find one.
Or seven. Mine were preventative, she said. A lot of them were preventative. They're preventative.
When my dentist said, you don't have any cavities, I was shocked. Because I was fully waiting to hear like, oh, yeah, you know, not because I have like, teeth that hurt or something, but I just, it had been a minute.
Do you floss every day?
No, no chance. No. I brush three times a day at least. And I mouthwash regularly and, you know,
It's amazing.
Generally take, I think, good care of my teeth. No, none of this matters. But we did learn something, which is that type one diabetics are more prone to dental issues, which I didn't know.
Every day. And that's what this podcast is all about, learning. So thanks for listening and taking the time to, to, to listen to us talk about absolutely nothing important.
Go floss your teeth.
Bye bye.
Bye bye. You know, guys, there's always a few people on your list who you really want to give a thoughtful gift to.
For those special people, turn to Sephora to make it easy to pick out a really thoughtful gift.
Yeah. I've noticed you guys really like Almond Breeze almond milk. Who has the most specific way of drinking it?
Ooh. Ooh. Kevin's, you know what I found very interesting is how you will drink a carton to yourself. Yeah, straight out the dome. And he usually does it before show. Yeah, just really getting myself going. He needs it on stage. Why do you guys like Almond Breeze so much?
Flavor's great. It's smooth. And honestly, it tastes great with coffee. Hmm, true. Try Almond Breeze. Trust us. It's really good.
