We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Chapter 2: What artist recently canceled their tour due to low ticket sales?
He played a lot of Elvis, you know, like Beach Boys stuff. That's fun. Old rock and roll stuff. It should be called Dennis Quaid and the Covers.
all covers yeah all these celebrities doing these bands their band should always be called the covers so we know it's going to be all cover songs yeah but i think a lot of them like billy bob thornton i think he does kind of take himself seriously as an artist yeah he does he does and they make it yeah and they're probably good but no i can't imagine there's any music like people that love music and for the sake of music going to that show
Man, I got hired by the Boxmasters to do, did you know this? To like produce a DVD. Billy Bob and the Boxmasters or just the Boxmasters?
No, Billy Bob and the Boxmasters. And they were playing a show at Stubbs Barbecue and I was the producer of the whole thing. And so we had delivered all the equipment to the venue and it was early, you know, like two o'clock. And I told the whole, all the crew to like, just dump everything in the middle and then we'll sort it.
We'll sort everything once everything's unloaded from the trucks, cameras, tripods, wires, all of it. And so everything was in the middle of the venue and Billy Bob shows up in a tank top, like straight, like what you would think tattoos showing hairs all messed up. He's like, who put this damn stuff in the middle of my venue? And I was like, oh my gosh, that's, that's me, Mr. Thornton.
Who the hell told you you could put all this stuff in the middle of my bed? And I got so scared. He goes, man, I'm just messing with you, man. And he picked up, what do you want? And I'll help you move it. That was him messing with you? He scared me so bad.
I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm pissing the talent off. Yelling at the unknown documentary producer? Yes. I just don't think there's a single actor I would go to watch a music show from if I didn't know them from music. There are actors who are really good and who have made careers. Jared Leto. Sure. And that was weird at very first, too, because you're like, okay, Jared Leto's got a band.
But the band's really good. But you didn't know that until they had a hit. No. Cause I'm sure these other bands are really good too, because they have a lot of money. They can pay great players. Yeah. They're surrounded by talent for sure. So it's like 30 seconds to Mars. That's Jared Leto's band. And you're like, okay, he's an actor. Is this like a vanity project?
And it ended up being really good because they had hits. And is that his brother too, that he plays with? It is. Like Keanu Reeves had Dog Star. That's right. But he wasn't the singer. He was the bass player. Oh, really? I didn't know that. I'm almost positive that's what he was. Unless he was the bass player and the singer, I know he played the bass. But that's like Van Halen, right?

Chapter 3: What are the implications of celebrity musicians on ticket sales?
And once you realize it, because again, I didn't, I don't hear a song and search the meaning immediately. I just try to sing along with born and USA.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cool melody. Once you go and you read all the lyrics of the song, it starts to feel sad. Like, real sad. Because you know there are a lot of people feeling this way. And with some of them, they actually go through with it. And people lose their lives. And some of them, they feel this way. And luckily, people get to them in time. But it's reality. Yeah. The groove is... Playful and light. It is.
And I wonder what the process is when they write this or when they record it. Does everyone know that it's... Does the whole band know that it's a sad song about this?
Or do they find out when they start hearing the lyrics, they're like, wait a second. Yeah, I guess it depends on the... the power of who gets to write the songs in the band. Right.
And then you think like, okay, this is such a serious topic and a sad topic. Do we do sad, serious music behind it?
And it's like, no, they went completely opposite. I mean, even the chorus is better run, better run faster than my bullet. I know. And I never realized it said that. It is dark storytelling, but again, the vibe kind of cancels out, cancels it out because it feels like it's independent, easy listening. Yeah. Yeah. So that makes the list. Next up is Third Eye Blind, Semi-Charm Life.
I can't think of anything. Is this sad too? What do you think the song is about? I have no clue. It is the happiest song. Yeah. Everything about this song makes me feel good. I'm trying to pick out lyrics in it. Until I lay down in it and you go, oh, this song's about addiction. Oh. So it's a 90s song. The do, do, do. Anything with do, do, do is awesome.
It's happy.

Chapter 4: What are the most misunderstood songs discussed in this episode?
I stabbed you. Does it kill her? It can't be that. He can't kill her in this song. How do you even get back to that hook if you kill her? Born in the USA. Okay, here we go. The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms, but when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken, and I hung my head and cried. You are my sunshine. Okay, so she's dead.
Hey, Bobby, so you used to work with Musicians On Call.
Uh-huh.
Chapter 5: Why do people misinterpret the meaning of 'Every Breath You Take'?
We used to sing that song.
And I realized what it would say, and so I just looped the you are my sunshine like four times, and that was it.
Never sang the verses?
No.
I sang it a couple times without realizing. I was like, oh, man, this is dark.
Like singing it to kids with cancer.
Yeah. You told me once, dear, you really love me. No one else could come between, but now you've left me and love another. You have shattered all my dreams. You are my sunshine.
Wow. It's a sad freaking song.
This is dark. So she, yeah, so they were in love. She was the sunshine. Please don't take my sunshine away. Oh, this is like Jolene.

Chapter 6: What is the real meaning behind 'Born in the U.S.A.'?
Yeah, of course. Who's just going to put a random thumb drive in? It's ransom. And then we got a text.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, we have that, which is pretty cool. That's really cool. So those are, I think, seven songs that I found. That's good. I learned a lot today. That I think people confuse. The ones that I really, Born in the USA, took me a long time. Foster the People, Pumped Up Kicks. And then Third Eye Blind. I knew there were little references, but I didn't realize the whole song was about that.
I had no idea about that one. You Are My Sunshine, mind blown. Did you see they kind of did an expose on Oz the Mentalist and shared how he does his tricks? No. Any of you guys see that? Mike D, did you? No. So Pablo Torre does a really great podcast, investigative, journalist, even in sports. He is the one that spent time on it, and he brought on another guy, and they talked about it.
So there was a clip that went viral on Bustin' with the Boys.
O's the mentalist and if you're not familiar the guy comes in and goes hmm here's your pin code and he holds it up and everybody goes oh my god how did you do that how did you do that and so he's done a bunch of shows and he was in with the guys from Bustin' with the Boys and they're doing the bit and he's like think of a player and so Will Compton goes okay got it and O's goes it's Bryce Young.
And Will's like, ah, Bryce Young. Or no, Bryce Hall. And Will goes, yeah, oh yeah, Bryce Hall. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So there's a little mess up there, which is the clip that he shows. And so it turns out, according to Pablo Torre, that before the show started recording...
owes handed will compton his phone is like hey would you look up a stat for like the player that hey what maybe it was even will compton's phone like he he loaded up like a site that looked like google so will compton typed in and misspelled he tried to type in bryce hall but autocorrect made it bryce hall so owes goes bryce hall uh Huh. So that gets told. And then there was another one.
He went on The View and he said, OK, I got your number in your head and I got your pin number. And she's like, oh, my God. And then she was talking about it after. She said, well, there was time we spent together before we went on screen that we never talked about. And so it's this weird thing. I know the guy's not magic. Of course there's some trick to it. Of course.
