This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.

16.543 - 21.809 Eddie

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.

0

22.09 - 24.673 Unknown

Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know.

0

24.753 - 31.141 Eddie

Tired and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I am the Therapy Gecko. I am an unlicensed lizard therapist who takes phone calls from real anonymous humans about their problems, such as this.

43.857 - 51.713 Unknown

Sometimes I'll have my girlfriend pre-chew spicy food and kind of baby bird it into my mouth. Is that weird?

76.34 - 95.631 Unknown

Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports, and giving you the real story behind the headlines. And we're going straight to the source

Chapter 2: What are the rules for the 90s country artist draft?

336.011 - 337.734 Unknown

Host. Yeah. Broadway.

0
0

338.195 - 362.435 Unknown

All of that. And then I started to challenge myself to how many Reba songs I knew once she was performing. I got to say, I'm a mid, but I'm not a diehard know all the songs of Reba. How many did you know? I know Fancy. Yeah. I know That's the Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia. Jam. I know Consider Me Gone. Brandon, do you know Consider Me Gone? I know I'm a Survivor. I'm a survivor.

0

363.236 - 369.125 Unknown

I know Does He Love You? Oh, Does He Love You? Laurie Morgan? No.

0

370.347 - 371.649 Bobby Bones

Linda Davis.

371.669 - 396.272 Unknown

Hillary Scott's mom. Yeah. And then I started to struggle because didn't Reba sing on cow girls don't cry? Yes, she did. But I think that was Brooks and Dunn's song. Yeah, it was Brooks and Dunn's song and they featured her. If you see him, if you see her, I just looked that one up. If you see her, that's not the same as do you love him? No, it's different.

396.733 - 396.833

Okay.

396.813 - 417.38 Unknown

That was another duet with another female artist. If you see him, if you see her, it's Brooks and Dunn and Reba. Oh, never mind. Reba's leading that one. Gotcha. Where Cowgirls Don't Cry, Brooks and Dunn. I think it's their song. Reba was on that song Be Alive with Chris Tomlin back in the day we played. It wasn't like a massive song. I don't know that one.

417.4 - 444.728 Unknown

It was Reba and a whole bunch of other artists. Okay, I don't know that one. Oh, of course, Little Rock. Little Rock. Yeah, that was a good one. Whoever's in New England, I remember that music video. I do too. That's what I remember more than the song is that music video. Let's see. I'm looking it up now to see what I remember. Going out like that, is that new? That has to be new Reba, right?

Chapter 3: Who are the first picks in the 90s country artist draft?

474.175 - 493.567 Unknown

I was talking bad about myself. But I should have known more of her songs. I can only go five or six deep before I had to look it up. Hey, what was the format of that concert? Would they alternate songs or was it like Brooks and Dunn first, then Reba? Okay, don't hold me to it, but it was a bit of switching back and forth. But they were on stage at the same time? Yes, they sang together some.

0

493.667 - 511.936 Unknown

Brooks and Dunn would do some. Reba would do some. Every time she'd leave, she'd have a new outfit on, though. She'd come back and show up again. Classic Reba. I know. Yeah. Okay, first round. All right. We do have them up for those watching on Netflix. We have our teams up here. So, Brandon, you have Alan Jackson. Would you like to go with your second overall pick?

0

512.196 - 544.879 Unknown

I'm going to go with my second pick. This was tough. I mean, this for me was personal. Me and my brothers, we used to rollerblade on our carport to the cassette of this next artist. And it was the entire 90s for me growing up. Okay. And you know, no, I'm just kidding. I'll just say it. Tim McGraw. Okay. Yeah. Indian outlaw. Come on. What I think about this, though. Don't take the girl.

0

544.919 - 560.304 Unknown

Don't take the girl. Is what was 90s versus what was 2000s? Because you can only take into consideration what was 90s, right? What was 90s, right. Okay. Well, let's look it up here. Let's see where that line was drawn. I think his first record came out in 92 or 93. Oh, really?

0

560.324 - 560.464 Eddie

Yeah.

560.725 - 584.427 Unknown

Oh, I didn't realize that. Biggest hits. 1994, Don't Take the Girl from Tim McGraw. Yeah. I like it, I love it, 1995. Wow. It's your love, 1997. Just to see you smile, 1997. Where the green grass grows, 97. Something like that, 99. My best friend, 99. Indian outlaw, 94. My next 30 years, 99. Oh my gosh. He's one of the biggest 90s country artists of all time. 100%. That's amazing.

584.447 - 605.962 Unknown

Because he's so relevant now, he doesn't get put in that category because of his today irrelevance. Yeah. I didn't realize that. Because he's doing new music. Like Brooks and Dunn, still relevant, they're winning awards, but they're just playing their old stuff at shows. So where was something like that? 96 or 97? Something like that was 99. That's crazy, dude. That's still in the 90s.

606.042 - 623.789 Unknown

According to this, anyway, a highly relatable upbeat song about high school love and summer nostalgia. Ah, the best. You know where they were headed to? Yeah, what? In that plane where he was headed to? In that plane? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. He was headed to New Orleans. Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. He also flies.

Chapter 4: What memorable stories do the hosts share about 90s country artists?

623.809 - 652.18 Unknown

I thought you were talking about him in real life. No, I don't know. I don't know, Tim, dude. Kidding me? All right, over to me. Oh, man, this is tough. This is tough. It is tough. I need to look up certain artists here. Top 30 90s country artists. That's what he's Googling?

0
0

653.903 - 678.836 Unknown

Okay, I'm going to go with... And I don't know what name we put it under, but I'm going to go with the Dixie Chicks. Yeah, good. Because in the 90s... Supreme 90s, man. Yeah. Late 90s, right? We're going with the Chicks? They're the Chicks. Okay. But what if all their music was released under the Dixie Chicks? Did they change all that music? Did they have to go in and change all the chicks?

0

679.718 - 689.973 Unknown

That's what I mean. Just for now, if you look them up. But all their label covers still say Dixie Chicks from back in the day. Right. But they did change the artist's name under it.

0

690.133 - 690.334 Bobby Bones

Right.

690.354 - 711.038 Unknown

So if you look up wide open spaces... It'll say the Chicks now. Got it. Unless you look at the album cover and it says the Dixie Chicks. But don't look at it. That can't change. You can't look at it. So here we have... They were massive, but it was all in the late 90s, but Wide Open Spaces. Late 90s? All, all, right? There's Your Trouble. I'm just kind of looking for the woman boat here.

711.439 - 731.221 Unknown

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely, dude. There's Your Trouble, Wide Open Spaces, I Can Love You Better, Let Her Rip, Tonight, The Heartache's On Me. That was a jam. Tonight, the heartache's on me, on me. Let's see. What about like not ready to make nice?

732.123 - 733.165 Bobby Bones

That was way later.

733.205 - 754.236 Unknown

That's when they, after they got in trouble. Yep. Traveling soldier. That's a good one. Really good one. Well, I don't have them all guys. Let's see what else we have here. On that wide open spaces. I can love you better. Jam. So good. Wide open spaces. There's your trouble. Yes. Tonight. The heartaches on me. Let her rip. That's just that album. But anyway, I'm going with the Dixie Chicks.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about their final draft selections?

890.471 - 922.423 Unknown

All of them. Okay. So, go ahead. I want Charles Stritt. Okay. Oh, you got it. Yeah. All right. Back over to Brandon. You have Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw. This was tough. Let me go into my spiel about this. I'm going to go with... Trisha Yearwood. Solid. Nothing screams the 90s more than Trisha Yearwood. It's not true, but solid. What screams the 90s more than Trisha Yearwood? Garth.

0

922.443 - 933.482 Unknown

Yeah, Garth can't be on the list. Well, that wasn't on the list, buddy. You said nothing, as in nothing. That's a good point. Nothing that we can choose. Yeah. Okay.

0
0

933.602 - 944.055 Unknown

Dang. I have Brooks and Dunn and the Chicks. I got to get off the band circuit. No, stay on it, dude. If you feel good with the band circuit, stay on there. The Bobbycast. We'll be right back.

0

948.811 - 957.662 Eddie

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, Nick? Huge news. We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

957.882 - 963.97 Unknown

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Yeah, a pretty wide range of podcasts.

964.01 - 986.001 Eddie

We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with the name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it, and... Well, we were thinking of originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

986.021 - 987.424 Unknown

I have a very different memory of this.

987.444 - 991.631 Eddie

We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas.

Chapter 6: What are some honorable mentions for 90s country artists?

1202.281 - 1212.235 Unknown

I was thinking, well, Eddie's at a disadvantage. He doesn't have a computer, but he literally has one right beside him. I know, I'm an idiot. Okay, I'm going to go with Vince Gill.

0
0

1212.905 - 1245.724 Unknown

Solid. 1992, I Still Believe in You. Don't sing it. 1992. I still believe in you. I love Don't Let Our Love Start Slipping Away. Such a good song. Listen to this. Also in 1992, One More Last Chance. I know more or less before you say it. I love you, baby. It's the last thing I do. Yeah, we're just some good old boys. I'm making noise. So good. Whenever you come around. That song. It's so good.

0

1246.545 - 1247.406 Bobby Bones

Whenever you come around.

0

1247.426 - 1256.339 Unknown

Where does it take you to? It's one of the best written songs ever. How about Go Rest High on that Mountain, 1994? Come on, dude. That was unbelievable.

1256.98 - 1257.12

Just...

1257.32 - 1278.211 Unknown

I think maybe possibly the best voice in country music ever. And a lot of people forget he was a host of the ACM Awards. For a long time. I mean, seven years straight, you know? Like he had multiple dimensions. Oh, yeah. Not just a great songwriter, not just a great singer. Oh, guitar player? That's what I was going to say. Oh, amazing guitar player.

1278.251 - 1291.685 Unknown

The dude was in Pure Prairie League back in the day. And you know what they sang? Eddie, go. The only thing I can think of is the Human League. Mm-mm. No, you're thinking of a different band. Pure Prairie League.

1292.145 - 1292.666

Oh, gosh.

Chapter 7: What first concert stories do the hosts share?

1477.131 - 1498.737 Unknown

Can't do it. Because you're about to cry or... No, I just can't do it. Okay. But even like Clint Black's... Even like his ballads were good. Oh, man. There was one that- Like the rain. Oh, like the, yes. Nothing But the Tail Lights. Nothing But the Tail Lights, of course. There was one that I used to love. It was him and Wynonna. It was a duet.

0

1498.97 - 1520.977 Unknown

And I can't remember, good at being goodbye or good at? He had a duet with his wife. Yeah, called When I Said I Do. And they just made it a movie. With Lisa Hartman? Yeah. Black. So there's a Clint Black. Let me see what we got here. Clint Black. A bad goodbye, Eddie? A bad goodbye. Ooh, that one's so good, man. Sing it. I wish. I can't. What are our rules on singing it, Mike?

0

1521.798 - 1543.338 Unknown

Probably don't sing it. Probably don't sing it? Okay. Yeah, don't do it. That doesn't sound like much of a rule. It's a probably, though. All right, Brandon, you're up. You have Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, and Trisha Yearwood. All right, I'm going to bring the band element here with a debut album that came out in 1991 with a hit single, Meet in the Middle. I picked Diamond Rio.

0

1543.358 - 1552.093 Unknown

Yeah, that's good, dude. My first ever concert. I remember that. Brandon was with me. Yeah, I was there. You guys went together. What is it called? Magic Mountain? What was it? Magic Springs.

0

1552.113 - 1552.935 Bobby Bones

Magic Springs.

1552.955 - 1571.458 Unknown

Such a good time. You know what? I think my first concert was Clint Black in South Padre Island. Really? Yeah. So look at that. First concert. First concert. Whose was yours? Why'd you point at me and go first concert and your first concert? Because Diamond Rio just got picked. That was your first concert. And then Clint Black right before that was my first concert. That's crazy.

1571.678 - 1581.331 Unknown

So we're picking the person next to us' first concert. Okay, so follow the trend. Then I owe Brandon's first concert. Brandon? Brandon, which first concert? Which one did you pick? Hey, pick someone with a one hit.

1581.411 - 1581.912 Bobby Bones

No, it doesn't matter.

1581.932 - 1607.775 Unknown

You can pick anybody you want. No, literally, what was your first concert? I can't remember right now. You don't remember your first concert ever? I can't remember. Huh? What's the first concert you remember going to? Let's see. Dude. I grew up going to church, so I went to a bunch of church concerts. Lame. Jars of Clay, everybody?

Chapter 8: What nostalgic memories do the hosts have about 90s country music?

1627.763 - 1653.073 Unknown

Does that count or should you have to pick one, a specific one? No, it's got to be their show. Then Tsunami Bomb. That's my favorite. That's my second. That's why I always say Vans Warped Tour. What the heck is Tsunami Bomb? They were like a pop punk band from the early 2000s. Dylan, you're younger than us. What was your first concert ever? Five Finger Death Punch. Oh, wow. I love it. All right.

0

1653.173 - 1678.479 Unknown

All right. That's my next pick. Now your pick. I'll go with Five Finger Death Punch, number four. All right. So Brandon adds Diamond Rio. By the way, did they sing Mr. Mom? Or was that Lone Star? That was Lone Star. Those two always live in my mind in the same space. Yeah. So Diamond Rio, Meet in the Middle. Diamond Rio. I'm going to get Lone Star and Diamond Rio. All their songs mixed up.

0

1679.46 - 1680.241 Unknown

Norma Jean Riley.

0

1680.501 - 1681.842 Bobby Bones

Oh, Norma Jean Riley.

0

1681.862 - 1696.898 Unknown

You can't do it all. Wish I had a car. Wish I had a car. Beautiful mess. That's all I can do. I don't remember that one. You would if we could sing more of it. Okay, gosh. Unbelievable. Oh, that's a good one.

1697.059 - 1698.18 Bobby Bones

Huggable. Huggable.

1698.22 - 1729.03 Unknown

Yes. Yes. Oh, man. What else you got? This Romeo Ain't Got Julie Yet. Dude, that is so clever. What a title, man. That is so clever. You know when they were in the writer's room and that one came out. I was like, yes, they were doing that one. Let's go to lunch. Okay, we got Brooks and Dunn, The Chicks, and Vince Gill on my team. I got to pick a number four here. I'm between two.

1731.288 - 1757.888 Unknown

And I really don't want to give Eddie someone to lean on. Give me someone to lean on. Come on. I need to look up and see when this guy songs. Because you're right. It starts to be fuzzy. You worried about the 80s or the 2000s? 2000s. Oh, I got you. I know what he's going to say. I know what he's thinking. I know exactly what he's going to say. Yes, I do. Am I wearing flip-flops? Ooh.

1758.85 - 1780.302 Unknown

You don't have a shirt on? Sitting on a blue chair. I already looked up Kenny, and I didn't feel like, to me, it was... Oh. I'm not a big enough Kenny guy, especially early Kenny, for all those songs to resonate when I looked them up. Okay. All right. I can tell you... I'll have to come back and tell you who I didn't pick. I'm just not going to go with this person here, even though he's massive.
