01:51How about Jonas Brothers?

01:52How about bringing Jonas Brothers on?

01:53Featuring the Jonas Brothers on that song just took it to a whole other level.

01:58And like, it was already on pop radio and going.

02:01And now it's just like, even crazier.

02:04And I was a Jonas Brothers super, super fan.
