00:00I turn my twinkle, twinkle, little star all the way up.
00:05Hi, InStyle!
00:06I'm Nick.
00:07I'm Joe.
00:07And I'm Kevin.
00:08And we're the Jonas Brothers.
00:09And we're going to be opening up some fan mail.
00:16Shall we begin?
00:18Jonas Brothers.
00:19This is to the Jonas Brothers.
00:21Let's see what we got here.
00:23So excited for this Christmas movie from the Jonas Brothers.
00:25They definitely have such a great 20th anniversary year as a brand, as a band.
00:30Not a brand.
00:30And a brand.
00:31With a new album, tour, and now a movie.
00:33This is from J.J. Castillo on YouTube.
00:36Well, thank you.
00:37We hope you enjoy the movie.
00:37It's going to be a lot of fun.
00:38We're very excited for it.
00:39We just had the premiere a couple nights ago.
00:41It's amazing.
00:42How did you feel?
00:43Are you proud of it?
00:44I'm very proud of it.
00:45It's always nerve-wracking to watch yourself on screen, especially with the full audience.
00:49But people seem to really enjoy it.
00:51And we love bringing that holiday cheer.
00:54Nicholas, take us away.
00:56Let's see what we got now.
00:57Jonas Brothers are collecting every nostalgic act as their special guest like Infinity Stones.
01:02That's right.
01:03From HelloJoJo on Twitter.
01:04Funny enough, we brought out JoJo.
01:06We did bring out JoJo in Finlay.
01:09We got Dai Fieri and Vin Diesel this weekend.
01:12It's going to be a big one.
01:13They're going to do their big hit.
01:15Their cooking show, actually.
01:16Their cooking show.
01:17They're going to do their cooking show from the stage.
01:18We pick our special guest based off of who is probably either from or lives in that city,
01:24if we're lucky enough.
01:25Proximity is hell.
01:26It does hell.
01:26And if they mean something to us.
01:29And by that, I mean whether it's been a walk down memory lane for us for the past 20 years,
01:34they've been a part of our journey in some way, or they influenced us.
01:36And we've been really lucky to have some great friends up there as well.
01:41It's been really great.
01:42I mean, I think we've had over 50 people at this point on stage with us.
01:47Cool.
01:47Kevin, you're up.
01:48On to the next.
01:50That one's actually here.
01:51That one's for me?
01:52Oh, for Nick Jones.
01:53Oh, we should read it.
01:54We should read it for Nick.
01:55Nick, it's for you.
01:56It's for me?
01:57Mail, it's for you.
01:58I'll read it for you.
01:59How about this?
01:59Because it's a question to you.
02:01I've already read it now.
02:02Shit.
02:02If Nick Jones sees everything, has he seen me beg for Jealous Gospel Version to be put on streaming for the last decade?
02:10I don't know if you see everything, dude.
02:11This is from YouLoveMeLikeXO on Twitter, which definitely sounds like a bot account.
02:17But I hope you're real, and I appreciate your support of the Jealous Gospel Version.
02:22We have not put it on, but we actually...
02:25Why don't you do it this weekend?
02:26I would love if you do it.
02:27Live, you mean?
02:28Yeah.
02:28Do it live.
02:29Yeah, we should.
02:29We know a couple Gospel choirs.
02:31Why not?
02:31The story behind the Jealous Gospel Version is pretty wild.
02:34Basically, my manager and I and someone from the label at the time were like, you know,
02:41we want to find a way to present the song in a different way, to tap into my roots, our roots of singing in church.
02:46And I've always loved gospel music.
02:48And the idea was thrown out to do a gospel version just with an organ and a choir.
02:53And we showed up, and we have this amazing vocal arranger who helped us put together a great group of people to do this.
03:00And that was really just one take.
03:02And I'm thrilled that people like it.
03:05I need no distance there.
03:07It's my ride.
03:08I can't help it.
03:10I still get jealous.
03:12There's more of that kind of stuff coming.
03:15There he is.
03:16It's awesome.
03:17I've heard it.
03:17For the bros.
03:20I love all the music of the Jonas Brothers.
03:22They also love camp rock songs.
03:24I'm thankful they're touring, period.
03:26I'm thankful for all they do for us, period.
03:28They could perform Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, and I'd love every second of it, period.
03:33She didn't say period at the end, but I'm just going to add that.
03:34She added one.
03:35At me, shell89.
03:38Is it like period, like this kind of period?
03:40Or is it actually like talk to text?
03:42Oh, no, it's period, like period.
03:44A lot of people are doing this at the shows now.
03:46They're like during vacation eyes.
03:47So I'm getting accustomed to it.
03:49He sees everything.
03:51I like this.
03:52I think this is insinuating that we'll be singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
03:55I do sing it quite a bit to my daughter, so.
03:59Bring in the choir.
04:01I turn my Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star all the way up.
04:06Oh, I like it.
04:07For Kevin.
04:08Finally.
04:10I need Dancing with the Stars, DWTS, to get Kevin Jonas next season.
04:16I want to see him shake his hips.
04:17From Aaron's Reading Era on Threads.
04:22They've asked you pretty much every season, I think, for the last like 20 years, right?
04:26Is that the deal?
04:26For a long time.
04:27Do his hips like him?
04:28You heard it here first.
04:29I have said no.
04:30It's just not for me.
04:31But thank you so much.
04:32Can't afford him.
04:34I will say, we watched the show.
04:36It's very fun.
04:37I feel like it's really back.
04:39Like Dancing with the Stars is like fully back.
04:41Oh, I mean, who's winning right now?
04:43I'm pulling for Mr. Irwin.
04:44Yeah.
04:44He's still in it?
04:45Oh, he.
04:46He's very much in it.
04:47Have you seen?
04:47And Efron.
04:50Yes.
04:50Dylan's doing it.
04:52Dylan's doing it.
04:53That should be a put it on a shirt.
04:55Make it a podcast.
04:56Also, I'm pretty sure they're about to perform to one of our songs.
05:00How do you know?
05:04Kevin's got the inside track to the producer.
05:05We did a liner for it.
05:06That's what the Stars.
05:07My favorite thing about the Jones Brothers tour is how they had their dad sing and their mother signing.
05:12Such a beautiful performance.
05:14From At Ray and Adele on Threads.
05:18Yeah, it's a beautiful moment.
05:20Our parents met while at Bible College together in Dallas, Texas.
05:24They then joined a sign language group.
05:29As one does.
05:29Where they basically would go and my dad would sing.
05:32My mother would sign along with another group of people.
05:35And they like toured all over the country and parts of the world.
05:38For many years.
05:39For many years.
05:40We like grew up on that little van like riding around the country.
05:42So to bring that back to life on stage at our shows has been really, really cool.
05:46And Franklin joins as well.
05:48It's incredible.
05:49He does.
05:49It's his family affair.
05:50This is for me.
05:51Here we go.
05:53I need to know where Joe Jonas gets his humor from.
05:57Did this man just come out funny?
05:59Did he just get it from his mom and dad?
06:02I have questions.
06:03From Kelly Kellogg's.
06:06Which is actually Joe.
06:07Joe wrote this.
06:09It's the only question we've actually received so far.
06:11Yeah, I would say, you know, I definitely got it from my mom and dad, obviously.
06:17And from these guys, you know, and probably lack of sleep.
06:21He's very funny.
06:22You guys are hilarious.
06:23Our grandpa.
06:24Yes.
06:25That's the main source of Joe.
06:26He's sort of reincarnated.
06:27He's up here.
06:28He's hiding.
06:28Show him off.
06:29Jerry.
06:31The legend.
06:31Yeah, he's great.
06:33He's a legend.
06:34R.I.P.
06:35This one's for the Jonas Brothers.
06:37Great.
06:38We got.
06:38From Christopher Tollme6572 on YouTube.
06:43I love how even though the Jonas Brothers are back together, they are all still making solo music on the side.
06:50It's amazing.
06:53You have a song coming out next week, don't you?
06:54I do.
06:55November 20th.
06:56Drop the album.
06:57Drop the album.
06:59Very excited about it.
07:00First time I've ever done anything like this myself.
07:03I've watched these guys do it for so long and inspiring.
07:06Well, it's great.
07:06Nick has new music.
07:07Joe has new music.
07:08Music slaps.
07:09It's insane.
07:10It's great.
07:11You're not ready.
07:11Thanks.
07:12We aren't really sure.
07:14We have a great team around us that helps us land these planes because we are all releasing
07:18and writing and recording at the same time.
07:21Same damn time.
07:23I feel like we are collecting Infinity Stones.
07:25This is just another version of the Jonas JBU, Jonas Brothers Universe.
07:31It's just got solo movies, projects, and then they all come back together for the endgame
07:36Avengers movies.
07:37You can't get away from us.
07:40Sorry.
07:40We're like New York City rats.
07:44Eating pizza.
07:45We're in your algorithm.
07:47Okay.
07:48I'm going to read this one that's for Kevin, two Kevin.
07:50As a mom always running around, usually just me and my kid, I have a newfound appreciation
07:56for Kevin Jonas.
07:57When he's the voice I'm using on Waze for directions, he gives a snack, diapers, toy, and wipes reminder
08:01before we get going.
08:02This is from Carly Bookish Beasts on threads.
08:06Is that true?
08:07We did the Waze voices.
08:09He was reading a script though.
08:10These are not from the heart.
08:12It's true.
08:12I made that one up.
08:13I don't know what you're talking about.
08:14But I'm happy that I remind you.
08:16Those are essentials when you're running around with young children.
08:19It's true.
08:20Did you ever forget those once, twice, and had an issue?
08:23Once or twice?
08:24Yep.
08:24Definitely had that happen.
08:25How do we figure it out?
08:26Okay.
08:26Leave it at that.
08:28Jonas Brothers.
08:29Here we go.
08:30That's what we got, boys.
08:32This is from Soits Goes.
08:36Soit Goes.
08:38Soits!
08:40It's Italian.
08:41Soits goes.
08:42Waffle House, best Jonas Brothers song ever.
08:44I won't be taking further questions, thank you.
08:47Nor will we.
08:48As So It Goes says, you heard it here first.
08:51Waffle House is a song that we created with John Billion,
08:55our incredible friend who is a great songwriter-producer.
08:59And this was off our album.
09:01The album.
09:01The album.
09:02Thank you, Kevin.
09:02It kind of was inspired based off of a text message we sent to John Billion
09:07because he was asking us for inspo,
09:09and Waffle House was a place that we used to go to really hash things out.
09:13You literally wrote, you just went, Waffle House.
09:15Yeah.
09:15And he goes, what?
09:16And Joe retracted.
09:18Yeah, I got nervous because I was like, he said what in such a stern way.
09:21He texted very sternly.
09:22And then I said, you know what?
09:23Screw it.
09:24Yeah, this is a place we used to hang out when we couldn't go to the bar with our band
09:28because we were too young when we were touring when we just got started.
09:31But it became a place of comfort.
09:32It felt like the kitchen for us.
09:34We'd sit around and talk and eat waffles and have too much sugar
09:37and then go to bed and do it all over again.
09:39That's great.
09:39And Waffle House was created, and it's now become kind of a fun little anthem for other people,
09:44a place to figure things out.
09:45Our Waffle House orders.
09:47Scrambled eggs, the chocolate chip waffle, and black coffee.
09:52It's great.
09:53The coffee, the drip coffee is great at Waffle House.
09:55It's very good.
09:55I've got to give the props.
09:57I'm going to go fried eggs, waffle for the table, and of course, chocolate chip.
10:04Or do a half.
10:05Half.
10:05Do a one-on-one.
10:06Right.
10:06Bacon.
10:08And then I would like the eggs as buttery as possible.
10:11Oh, grits.
10:12You're interrupting.
10:13I forgot the grits.
10:14No, the grits are important, too.
10:15They really are important.
10:17For me, I'm going to keep it really simple.
10:19I like just scrambled eggs, little bacon on the side, some toast.
10:23I'll take a bite of a waffle.
10:24That's about it.
10:26And then a black coffee.
10:27It's simple.
10:28But it's good.
10:29It's so delicious.
10:29Effective.
10:33Kevin, would you like to read this one to me?
10:34I would love to read this to you, too.
10:36Thanks, Kevin.
10:37This is from JustJCRDannon on Twitter.
10:41Surprisingly hard thing to do.
10:43Just to be real.
10:44It's reading people's handles.
10:46Handles.
10:46It's because if I read it out loud right now, it would be JustJCRDannon.
10:52Exactly.
10:52The lack of spaces and just the way in which there were, it's very difficult.
10:58What the hell?
10:58Formerly known as Twitter.
10:59And it's on X slash Twitter.
11:02Okay.
11:02Joe Jonas and I have something in common.
11:05We're both so chronically online.
11:08At JustJCRDannon.
11:09You are chronically online.
11:13But your screen time isn't reflective of that.
11:14I don't understand.
11:16He's effective with his time, I guess.
11:18My screen time is a lot higher.
11:19And I'm way less, I think, online than you.
11:23I know where to look.
11:26His algorithm is wild.
11:28Like, the things he gets fed is insane.
11:31Like, he gets the first look at a lot of stuff that then becomes viral.
11:34It's like, they send it to him first.
11:36I was out with him.
11:37I think that the CEO.
11:38Do you think that's a thing?
11:39I think it is.
11:39Oh, that's interesting.
11:40They're like, if Joe likes this, then it will go.
11:43It's the highest compliment.
11:43You're like their litmus test.
11:45Wow.
11:46I'll take all of this.
11:47I'm receiving this.
11:48If you are questioning to post it, post it.
11:51Unless it's offensive or illegal.
11:55But I saw this one today, and I agree.
11:58If you're starting to argue at Thanksgiving dinner, go live.
12:01We want to watch that shit.
12:03I appreciate all the love.
12:05I mean, I think, look, you know, it's a reminder that you can just be yourself,
12:08and people will accept you.
12:09Unless you're doing something illegal, or you're being an asshole.
12:12Or offensive, yes.
12:14Just be yourself, though.
12:15My favorite thing about this tour is that the Jonas Brothers are allowing us to hear songs
12:17we never thought we would hear live, with a sweet, like, nearly crying, smiling emoji.
12:24Hearing Dos Origitas live was something I never thought would happen, and it was life-changing.
12:30We did Dos Origitas with Sebastian Yatra, who's amazing.
12:34We did another song with him called Runaway years ago, and to have him back on stage with us,
12:38singing a song in Spanish for our fans was incredible.
12:41That whole night was really special because we were in Orlando,
12:44and so we thought we should give Disney some moments,
12:47because, obviously, it's the home of Disney World,
12:49and so Sebastian Alawi, who's the voice of Moana,
12:53came out and sang How Far I'll Go.
12:54It was a pretty epic night.
12:55My daughter was there.
12:56She had to watch that, and it made her life.
13:00She was trying to be, like, on stage with you.
13:04She was so sweet.
13:05She was, you know, this is a celebration of 20 years for us,
13:08and with that means we have a lot of songs we want to play, too,
13:11and so for that, so, mirrored to this guy underscore,
13:14which I don't even know how you got that account.
13:15That's huge.
13:16We would say that it's fun for us, too,
13:20because as we did, the previous tour was five albums, one night,
13:24which was quite the feat.
13:25This tour, we can be a bit more creative,
13:27and we can play songs of features that we've had along the way,
13:30like Sebastian and others,
13:31or even song requests that we haven't played in so many years.
13:35Yeah, that happened last night.
13:36Last night, we played a song I don't think we've ever played live.
13:40Probably what we'd have when we were, like, 17 years old.
13:42But it's been, like, 20 years.
13:44Yeah, so this is so nice for us, as well, and we really enjoy this.
13:47The set list for each tour varies.
13:49We started this tour with starting each night with a new song.
13:52Now that we're adding the holiday songs in there,
13:54we only have so much time,
13:55but the section that we're talking about right now
13:58is a fan request moment where Joe goes out
14:01and reads a bunch of signs and plays games
14:02where they make, like, song choice games.
14:04Very creative fans.
14:05Bingo, Plinko, the other night.
14:07Last night was Dungeons & Dragons.
14:09He rolled the D20 dice, yeah.
14:11Pretty cool.
14:12And the song that they picked was 15.
14:13You picked 15 twice.
14:14Joe, you should probably go to a casino and you play the number 15.
14:17I tried, like, and I lost...
14:19The night before.
14:19I lost all my money.
14:21Okay.
14:21For that night.
14:22We're good.
14:24Who's the four?
14:26You gotta read who it's four for.
14:27Sorry, this is from Nick Jonas.
14:28You gotta read this.
14:29He may.
14:29Nick Jonas, this is from Allie Youngin on Instagram.
14:35Is Nick sick of saying red dress that way every time and burnin' up?
14:42I mean, would you be sick of saying it?
14:45No.
14:45It's sick.
14:47I'll say it.
14:47It's iconic.
14:48Do icons get tired of doing iconic shit?
14:51Give us one.
14:51It's my day off.
14:53You're right.
14:54It's your day off.
14:54I think Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
14:56It's a press day.
14:57As jealous.
14:58Okay.
14:59All right.
14:59Last but not least.
15:01If someone would have told junior high me that at almost 30 years old, my best friend
15:05and I would be programming the Jonas Brothers concert.
15:06Pre-gaming.
15:07Pre-gaming, sorry.
15:08Big difference.
15:08Pre-gaming the Jonas Brothers concert with margaritas at Chili's.
15:11I wouldn't have believed them.
15:12But here we are.
15:13Come on, Chili's.
15:14Bonafide.
15:14Woo!
15:15Me blog.
15:15By the way, hot take.
15:18Chili's.
15:19Highly underrated.
15:21Extremely.
15:21Bro.
15:22We have a Chili's three blocks from our house in LA.
15:26And we would go there for post-softball games.
15:29Yes, I was in an LA league softball team.
15:32We would go to Chili's, all 12 of us on the team, our wives, kids, whatever.
15:35And we would have the best time.
15:37Ice cold beer, the fajitas.
15:39When's the last time you had a sizzling fajita?
15:41Yeah.
15:41Let's go.
15:42I'll tell you when it was.
15:43Last time I went to Chili's after we won a game.
15:45Yeah.
15:46Those chicken tenders were my shit.
15:48And hold on, I think they're calling because it sounds like we're getting a deal.
15:50There was a mom and daughter and grandmother that you spoke to at the show.
15:56It's three generations in the same building listening to the band.
15:58And I think that's a testament of time and family and exactly what I love to see at the shows.
16:04And it's just really amazing how much love and support everyone watching has given us and continued so.
16:10And can't wait for 20 more.
16:12You said it.
16:13Fantastic.
16:14Well done.
16:15I think we don't take it for granted.
16:17Genuinely, it's incredible for us that we get to do this every day and bring joy to people and even distract them if there's something crazy going on in their life.
16:24We're so happy that we get to go up there and do things like this where we get to play music, play some of your favorite songs, which is also some of our favorite songs.
16:29And the fact that we can all get lit together, you're pre-gaming, we're pre-gaming our own way too.
16:35Maybe at Buffalo Wild Wings until that deal's over and we go to Chili's.
16:39But thank you guys so much for spending time with us and reading our fan mail.
16:43There's one more.
16:45I think you read that one.
16:45You just put it back in.

16:48Thank you so much for reading our fan mail with us.
16:50This was lovely.
16:51Thank you, in style.
16:52And thank you, in style.
16:52And if you don't know already, we have a movie, A Very Jonas Christmas, streaming now on Disney+.
