[Joe Jonas]

Okay. So my buddy Jesse in London was like, yeah, I'm going to go see this amazing show tonight. You want to come? And to be honest, as me, as a musician, I don't. If you feel this way, as a musician, I on days off, I don't really love going to concerts.

[Teddy Swims]

Never, man.

[Sheba Cat Food Advertiser]

[Joe Jonas]

I'm not big on concerts, but I went.

[Kevin Jonas]

Thing to do. I went.

[Joe Jonas]

I was like, all right, I'll go. And I was. I'm a fan. But I was like, I'll go. I didn't know your live show. Like, I was like, my job was on the floor. I was fangirling taking videos the whole time. The show itself is just so great. Your discography is unbelievable. Your voice is amazing. We have a lot of similar friends that we work together with, but I was floored. And afterwards, like, hey, if you want to come say hi to Teddy after the show. So I went backstage and this was in. You played a couple nights of this?

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah.

[Joe Jonas]

Your song was going on like 12 weeks or something crazy. It was nuts. Number one, that is. And I met and it was all love. And you told this amazing story that I could not believe. And I never even heard this before. I was like, what? And we hit it off. We had maybe one to 12 tequilas, something like that. And Then fast forward. You know, we stay in touch. I see he's gonna be playing Coachella on the main stage, which is insane. And I'm like, yo, bro, we just start texting. And I was like, if you need a background singer, man, count me in. I'm gonna be out there, dude.

[Teddy Swims]

Well, so here's the story of the bit.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah, you gotta tell the story.

[Teddy Swims]

Okay. When I was 15, girlfriend at the time was serious, serious girlfriend, obviously, of course, my first love, you know. Well, you know, we had lost our virginities to each other too. And our song was when you look me in the eyes.

[Kevin Jonas]

So we were there.

[Teddy Swims]

Yes, bro. So. So we're not. Not. I don't think we made love to that song at the time.

[Kevin Jonas]

Go with it.

[Teddy Swims]

But so, you know, I, I, I told Joe that we were actually at Lakewood amphitheater in Atlanta. You guys played a show. Demi was playing with you guys. It was right around Camp Rock. Cause it was her. Her 16th birthday. I want to say.

[Kevin Jonas]

It was tour, probably.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah.

[Teddy Swims]

Okay.

[Joe Jonas]

Geez.

[Teddy Swims]

And so we're at that show, man. And so, like, you know, I was so madly in love. And so I told Joe that. And when we met, and so it was so cool. And we were trying to figure out something to do for Coachella. And he's like, man, I remember that this song means a lot to you. Would you want to do it? And I was like, dude, if. I mean, only if Rose are cool with it, that I would

[Joe Jonas]

say, you guys cool. I think I was already, like, to be honest, sound checking. And I was like, hey. I'm like, I'm still doing this. So if you guys say no, that's on you now. Correct me if I'm wrong. Teddy, you were in football at the time.

[Teddy Swims]

Yes. Okay. So the. The bit.

[Kevin Jonas]

The.

[Teddy Swims]

The bit was. So I was. It was a Wednesday night. I still remember because I skipped football practice to go see you guys at Lakewood, and.

[Kevin Jonas]

Wow.

[Teddy Swims]

And my. My coach at the time, you know, every time you miss a practice, you'd have to, like, run, like, laps. And so when I came back, all the dudes have found out that I'd, like, skipped football practice. I remember them being like, you boosted football practice to go to the Jonas brothers zone? So my coach ended up making me run double.

[Kevin Jonas]

Oh, my gosh.

[Teddy Swims]

But where's he at now, though?

[Joe Jonas]

Exactly.

[Nick Jonas]

Not here.

[Joe Jonas]

That is wild.

[Kevin Jonas]

Well, we're happy that you were a fan back then.

[Teddy Swims]

And Vegas.

[Kevin Jonas]

My God, that's so cool.

[Nick Jonas]

So I watched the performance on the stream that you guys did of, of look me in the eyes. And I have to say, if there's anybody that's going to sing my parts of a song, dude, what a blessing. Pretty fitting.

[Joe Jonas]

Sounded both sounded incredible. And we got so good. I mean, he also had David Lee Roth.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, bro, that was so sweet.

[Joe Jonas]

Which was so iconic and like, what a rock star. I mean, through and through, dude.

[Teddy Swims]

On, yeah, on and off stage, bro is just like, so, so he had called me, I remember like going into the second weekend too. And he had called me like prior to the show. He wanted to talk on like Thursday. And he's so old that he like, he won't learn his phone. So he calls his manager to call mine to put a four way call on to talk about it. And so he tried to get in touch with me for like three days. And finally we got on the call and he's like, hey, Teddy. So I thought we were gonna talk about the show or anything like that. And he says, man. So I was, I spent like a year living in Thailand and when I was out in Thailand, I was, I, I did this like thousand mile jungle bike ride.

[Kevin Jonas]

Whoa.

[Teddy Swims]

And so, and so I had this, we had these jungle bikes and I had this JBL speaker sitting right under my balls, man. And, and I made this, I made this playlist and I don't like, like, I don't like, listen to a lot of rock and roll music. I listen to like music like you do like, like you like play like soul music and like R and B music and stuff. So, so I made this 13 hour playlist and I want you to listen to this playlist and I think it might influence you, inspire you. But I want you, when you listen to it, I want you to think about, of Thailand on my jungle bike, just ripping with this JBL under my balls. I want you to think about that when you listen to this playlist. I was like, yes.

[Kevin Jonas]

Did you listen to the 13 hours?

[Teddy Swims]

I didn't get that far.

[Kevin Jonas]

So what's the Coachella prep like?

[Teddy Swims]

I mean, the prep is, is, you know, it's, I mean, we're, we're in the midst of doing a bunch of other things. And so it was kind of hell.

[Joe Jonas]

I mean, I, I, to answer that question a little bit, Kev, because as a, as a guest, like, rolling, we

[Kevin Jonas]

haven't done it at all. So I'm just curious for the one

[Teddy Swims]

day, it's so fun rolling up and

[Joe Jonas]

seeing this, you know, your team put into the attention to detail. I mean, the stage he had within the Stage.

[Nick Jonas]

It's amazing.

[Joe Jonas]

It's really amazing. And I love the door.

[Nick Jonas]

Letting the guests through the door. It was great.

[Kevin Jonas]

It was great.

[Joe Jonas]

Knock, knock, knock.

[Teddy Swims]

[Malcolm Glebel]

[Kevin Jonas]

Wow. I could see the.

[Joe Jonas]

The jungle bike down there kind of a vibe, though.

[Kevin Jonas]

I think he was with you.

[Joe Jonas]

This is not a real play. He just put a bunch of songs on here. This is.

[Kevin Jonas]

This is like something you would ask Chatgpt to make for you, you know,

[Joe Jonas]

I gotta say, also one of the coolest things, and you're a new father. Congrats. Yeah, newish. 11 months old, you said?

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah.

[Joe Jonas]

It's a two part question. A really. What was that like, having your son act. I mean, you play Coachella. I'm on. I'm like, there's a moment I get to watch your. Your wife and your son watching you. And like, you know, obviously it's Goo Goo Gaga, but he's like. He knows. He's like, that's my dad.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, dude. It was.

[Joe Jonas]

It was.

[Teddy Swims]

I mean, I remember, like, right before we walk out, you know, and he's sitting right there and it just. Dude sobbed. I just, like, so grateful that he, like, was able to be there. And we had bought this, like, it's called like a W4, like, you know, like a kid wagon, but they made this like, limited edition, like Volkswagen bus version of it. I saw backstage, you know, it's hard. So he was just riffing around Coachella in this thing. It was right on.

[Kevin Jonas]

Car.

[Joe Jonas]

What's that? I mean, we spoke about a little bit, but, like, being a dad for you. What. What's been the biggest change in your life since becoming a father, man?

[Teddy Swims]

You know, I. I think. I think that. And I think present is like, really the thing that I've learned the most about it, like, being. I find that like even I even see this sometimes too. Like, I've had this happen or I still am guilty of this. Where I'm like, with my son and I'm doom scrolling, you know, And I'll just catch myself like, what are you doing, bro? Why are you doing that? You know, And I'm trying to. I got back from the gym not too long ago and this is one thing that really was a revelation to me that I got. He crawled right over to me, so excited. And I pick him up and hold him for a second and I set him down. Cause I'm trying to cook a little something real quick to eat. And he's crying. And then I was like, hold on, son, give me a second. And I'm trying to cook and he's crying and I'm picking back up. And I was like, all right, let daddy do something, you know, and starts crying again. And it just dawned on me. Cause I found myself getting frustrated with this like 10 month old at the time, you know, And I was like. I said, you know what? I just turned the stove off. And I was like, man, that's not gonna be happening forever, you know. And honestly, eating can wait. It's optional. I felt like by getting frustrated with him because I was hungry. It's just such a. I don't know, I felt like so weird in my soul about it that I was like, you know what? Let's. Let's go sit down on the couch. Let's go play, man. You know, And I think, I think that the biggest thing that I've learned and I've heard, man, my. My sweet friend Thomas Rhett say this all the time. He's like, no matter what, man, just look at those kids in the eyes, man. Just like make sure they know that you're there and that you're like, available. And those times I find it like, you know, as somebody that's always like constantly feeling like I'm not doing enough or I want to. I want to be like doing more and more and more. I find that sometimes when I'm with my son and he's just playing and doing his thing and I'm watching him, we're just watching Bluey on TV or something, I'm like, this is the most productive thing that I could be doing right now, you know, or ever at all, or for anything. And it just like, it makes me feel that I want to be when I'm at my work job or when I'm at home or wherever I'm at. I want to be where my feet are and be grounded right there.

[Joe Jonas]

Where.

[Teddy Swims]

With who I am and where I am and like, just present.

[Kevin Jonas]

Wow.

[Joe Jonas]

So good.

[Kevin Jonas]

Dude.

[Joe Jonas]

[Kevin Jonas]

Hello? Hello, this is Malcolm Glabel from Smart Talks with IBM. Today we're diving into a fascinating conversation with Stefano Pallard, head of fan development for Scuderia Ferrari hp.

[Stefano Pallard]

Your pronunciation is strongly American. It's more Scuderia Ferrari.

[Malcolm Glebel]

I'm still working on rolling my R's, but what I was able to learn from Stefano was the importance of engaging the tifosi, the Ferrari superfans. In the digital age.

[Stefano Pallard]

Ferrari fans and super fans want to be part of something, want to belong to something. So they want to be part of a community and Ultimately, they want to be part of a winning team.

[Malcolm Glebel]

You've got Ferrari, which has a long history, design history, and now you're interacting in a kind of digital space. I'm curious how you balance those two traditions.

[Stefano Pallard]

When it comes to fan engagement, it's really digital technology, and digital channels are being able to create a deeper connection with our fans.

[Kevin Jonas]

dude,

[Teddy Swims]

how was it with the show when you guys were all, like, doing the thing when you had the reality bit going on?

[Kevin Jonas]

Didn't have kids yet, so when we did married to Jonas, it was just me and Danny and the fam. But luckily we didn't have the girls. But we kind of. The minute we got pregnant, actually, with our first olena, we decided not to continue because I was like. We both knew that it was a little bit too much on the family, and it was also, like, we were new to it. I'll be completely honest with you. I think we would have done it very differently now, but it was in our actual house. Lit rigs like this in your house, and the people showing up and then just leaving the house a mess. And we were cleaning up the house at night before we go to bed to, like, reset it for the next day. It was just like. It was a lot. It was cool during the time, but for the time being, like, it was great. But having the girls, we. They didn't then obviously the band was broken up at the time, then after that, so we didn't have them. They didn't see us play or even know kind of that part of my life until they were actually more a little older into everything, which was really, really cool. So then they came to the 2019, like, obviously when Happiness Begins happened and the reunion of everything. They came to that tour for the first time, saw us perform, and I think that was, like, the most emotional I've ever been. Just, like, feeling them in the room. One, I never thought it was gonna happen again. And then two, like, that's, you know, that's. That's. That's them there. So I totally. I hear you.

[Joe Jonas]

You and your wife have one of the most amazing covers together that, like, kind of went pretty viral.

[Teddy Swims]

No, that's still the one when we did.

[Joe Jonas]

I'm just. Pull it up, dude.

[Nick Jonas]

It's so good.

[Joe Jonas]

I'm gonna pull it up. I'm gonna literally just show our viewers here.

[Nick Jonas]

Let's.

[Joe Jonas]

Let's show it. If the football career doesn't work, Out.

[Teddy Swims]

Smooth, bro.

[Joe Jonas]

All right, now I gotta ask. How did you guys meet?

[Teddy Swims]

She was working with this guy. Arsenio Archer is a dear buddy of mine, and we went to high school together, and he's a producer. He's done a lot of cool stuff, man. It's one of my best pals. And we were at my studio in Atlanta. This was, you know, four, five years ago now. And so he was like, you gotta listen to this girl I've been working with, this girl Ra's, and showed me, you know, a video or their song they did, you know. And so then I looked her up, and I was like, whoa. I just kind of, like, you know, reached out and was like, hey, I love you. You know, you're amazing. And we kind of stayed in touch, watched each other from afar. But it was actually a friend of hers, a roommate of hers, was like, you know, was a big fan of. Of me. And so she was like, hey, I see that you're coming into town for, you know, a show in Atlanta. And, you know, I would, but it'd make my. My girlfriend, like, pumped if we could come see the show. So, you know, where they came. And then I was like, you know, feeling myself.

[Kevin Jonas]

What's your move?

[Joe Jonas]

What was your move?

[Teddy Swims]

Like, we had this little after party of the vinyl and.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah, but also right off stage, too, you're like. You always feel like, Yeah, person of interest, poi in the audience.

[Nick Jonas]

Yeah, Actually, let's.

[Joe Jonas]

Let's just talk about this real quick

[Nick Jonas]

because we've had this conversation many times about, you know, back in. In the day when I was single, been married now for almost eight years, and. And Joe, you know, been dating and all that. When you invite somebody to the show, a poi.

[Joe Jonas]

A poi poi.

[Nick Jonas]

And after they try to do, like, the playing it cool thing, they're just

[Joe Jonas]

like, oh, that's cool.

[Kevin Jonas]

Don't do that.

[Nick Jonas]

I don't want you to be like, it was amazing.

[Kevin Jonas]

Any of the music. But, like, it was great.

[Joe Jonas]

I remember there's this girl invited to a show in Paris, and she was texting on her phone backstage, and I was like, hey, like, so, like, what did you think? And I. I was like, did. And I internally, I'm like, did you just ask her what you thought of the show? Cooked. Anyway, you know, I don't mean to be, like, super fast, to be clear, before. Don't play it cool before someone clips

[Nick Jonas]

this and goes, oh, they just want them to come and be, like, all excited. It's like, no, we don't need. It doesn't need to be like that.

[Joe Jonas]

I don't have. Looking for a super famous.

[Nick Jonas]

It was a game changer when my wife came to the show. She was just so supportive.

[Joe Jonas]

That's what I'm saying.

[Nick Jonas]

I was like, that's amazing. Like, she was really invested in this thing that I care so deeply about with me.

[Kevin Jonas]

That's what I'm saying.

[Nick Jonas]

And I. That's. That's what we're saying.

[Kevin Jonas]

There's a. There's a line of playing it too.

[Joe Jonas]

That's what I'm saying.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, dude, I get this all the time. Well, for me, I think it's so much of like, not. Not even just a poi at the

[Kevin Jonas]

show, but I love that, by the way. That is so good.

[Teddy Swims]

But just in general, when I like, I do. This is one of my, like, worst, worst situations that's ever happened to me as far as like meeting somebody in like an airport, right? I met this guy and he comes over, he's like, hey, Teddy, come here, man. I'm like, what's up, brother? And he's. He said, so, man, my foreman at work, she's an older lady, man. She loves your stuff. He said, like, don't get me wrong, man, like, I don't fuck with your stuff at all. I listen to like Chief Keef and like Kendrick Lamar and like hip hop and stuff. So I really don't with you, but, like, would you mind if we got a picture for her? And I was like, bro, I don't know what it is about men sometimes too, where they're just scared to like anything. It's like, makes you like. Well, it's like, it makes you imagine to like, things.

[Kevin Jonas]

I wouldn't even know what to wear

[Joe Jonas]

if my wife didn't pick out my clothes.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's like, dude, it's okay to like clothes.

[Teddy Swims]

It's okay to.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's okay to dress yourself nicely.

[Teddy Swims]

Why has it got to be so? Why do men have to be so.

[Nick Jonas]

Yeah, it's like, can you take a. You sign this for my sister? It's like, sure. It's like, what's her name? He's like, brad.

[Teddy Swims]

Brad.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah, I think we. We have that same experience, especially growing up like this. This was always blew our minds. Was like, for us, you know, growing up as sports fans and we would go to these, you know, and I get it, you know, we're now. We get it more. But like, we were like a quote unquote boy band. We played our instruments and wrote our songs. But like, we'd go to these. Go to whether we're on the sidelines of a game and, like, get on the jumbotron.

[Teddy Swims]

It's like, boo. That's crazy.

[Joe Jonas]

And we were like, bro, I also love this team. Exactly. I'm here because I love you.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah. That's so weird, man.

[Joe Jonas]

But, I mean, it doesn't happen as much anymore. I think people aged out of that audience have, like. Or the guys that have. But it is funny every once. I be like, yo, I'm. I'm not a fan, but my cousin loves y'.

[Kevin Jonas]

All.

[Joe Jonas]

Can I get a pick? I find that hilarious. But anyway, back to your story. She was backstage.

[Teddy Swims]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And, you know, I mean, we just, you know, like, I did slow my little thing.

[Joe Jonas]

Boom.

[Teddy Swims]

There you go.

[Joe Jonas]

Done. How can my.

[Teddy Swims]

You know, The rest is history.

[Joe Jonas]

I love that for you.

[Nick Jonas]

All right, we have a few questions from some of our incredible listeners here.

[Teddy Swims]

Okay.

[Nick Jonas]

The first one is kind of. I didn't even know this that well. I'll just ask a question. Teddy Lose Control was featured in the latest season of Bridgerton during a very steamy scene.

[Joe Jonas]

I watched it.

[Nick Jonas]

And Nick Jealous was featured in Bridgerton season three, too. These questions are for all of you. First, what Jonas Brothers songs deserves the Bridgeton treatment?

[SpinQuest Promo Host 2]

Treatment.

[Joe Jonas]

Well, I think.

[Nick Jonas]

What's your favorite use of a song in a TV show or movie?

[Joe Jonas]

I think Teddy gave Look Me in the Eyes. The.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah. Was Jealous is steamy in that show?

[Joe Jonas]

I don't think so.

[Nick Jonas]

I think it was like.

[Teddy Swims]

I've seen it.

[Kevin Jonas]

So it was a dance. It was a sequence, and it was a dance moment.

[Joe Jonas]

It was like.

[Kevin Jonas]

It was during a ball.

[Joe Jonas]

It was a string version.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's great.

[Teddy Swims]

Well, then I think. Well, they had sex during my song, so I think I won that one.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yeah, they're, like, all up in a bathtub, like, getting it in, bro.

[Teddy Swims]

Well, I think it was like. It also was like. It was like a string quartet.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yeah, Everything. Like, it's that rendition. It's actually cool. Kind of. I listened to the. I'd like to just see. Fell into this because we share a Spotify account, me and my. My wife on the family.

[Teddy Swims]

Sure.

[Kevin Jonas]

And it, like, fell.

[Joe Jonas]

Sure. There's.

[Kevin Jonas]

There is a lot of that.

[Joe Jonas]

I don't listen to my. I don't dress myself. It's okay.

[Teddy Swims]

Wow. It's okay. You could have a Spotify

[Joe Jonas]

eat your words.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yes, exactly. I got the Bridgerton soundtrack while I was sleeping on a plane randomly. And I was like, this is actually fantastic.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah. Okay.

[Joe Jonas]

There you go. You can like it too. You can like it too, Kev. I like to see Bridgerton year 3000. The sexualized year 3000 version. Okay, next question. Oh, what is your favorite use of a song in a TV show or a movie? Like.

[Nick Jonas]

Like any song.

[Joe Jonas]

I mean, that's the qu. That's what they're asking.

[Kevin Jonas]

I think they're referring to his.

[Joe Jonas]

In a TV show of yours.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, my song. I don't know because I. I find like.

[Kevin Jonas]

You think a lot.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, but I find with like. So they just did like the, you know, the new version of man on Fire.

[Kevin Jonas]

Oh, right.

[Joe Jonas]

And.

[Teddy Swims]

And. And so when they sent over the. The like the trailer of it and then like, you know, they. Where they kind of do the thing where they cut your song up and they just put it in places in between like cuts of scenes.

[Kevin Jonas]

Moments.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah.

[Teddy Swims]

And it's got these big explosions. And so I find myself trying to get into the. The trailer of it and I'm in the world and then I hear like, you know. No, I don't know my. And I was like, that just kind of takes me out of the world altogether, you know, Because I feel so close to that that I. If I'm trying to get into another

[Joe Jonas]

world of something else, it can. It can take.

[Teddy Swims]

Pulls me so far out of the. The environment or the like the world of the song.

[Kevin Jonas]

It pulled me in. So I liked it.

[Teddy Swims]

Right. I'm sure you've. I've probably felt that like too when yalls stuff is on something, does it like completely like pull you out of the. I mean, it's honor, obviously, but you know, it's. It's. It just pulls me out of the world altogether.

[Joe Jonas]

Cake by the ocean had a couple interesting sinks.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's like the most S song like ever.

[Joe Jonas]

I don't think ever. We're talking. We're talking Teddy swims right now. It was really funny though, because

[Nick Jonas]

I

[Joe Jonas]

would see it for like songs that get the kids bop treatment. You're like that they. Well, I guess I don't know if they know what they're singing.

[Teddy Swims]

Dude. I remember they had the. The hot tamales. I'm sweating back in the day. All gold, everything.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yes.

[Joe Jonas]

That's so funny.

[Teddy Swims]

But I think. I think probably the most sync song I would probably put my like my chip on would be like spend out ballet, you know, that's always like when somebody falls in love and that thing like the love interest is in and it's. Notice that one. I feel like I've heard so many times in movies oh, absolutely.

[Joe Jonas]

So, Ted, we have this fun thing in our pod where we have a bowl of questions. We don't know what they are. Would you just pull questions?

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, sure. Let's get deep. Sometimes into the bowl. Not like deep into the question.

[Kevin Jonas]

Or both.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah. If your phone battery is at 2%, you can only text one person. Who gets the text? Probably Claire, my assistant. I'll be like, hey, do you know about phone charger?

[Joe Jonas]

I respect it. Because instead of being like, I'm gonna text my wife saying goodbye, she's like, yo, where's my phone charger at?

[Kevin Jonas]

Which one of our security has the phone charger on them in real time?

[Joe Jonas]

Okay, I'm gonna pull one for you, Teddy.

[Teddy Swims]

Okay, buddy, what you got?

[Joe Jonas]

When's the last time you had to plunge a toilet?

[Teddy Swims]

I don't know. You know, I was. I will answer it like this.

[LifeLock Advertiser]

Oh, God.

[Teddy Swims]

I didn't. I did. It's. It's been. It's been. I can't remember the last time because.

[Kevin Jonas]

That's good.

[Joe Jonas]

That's good.

[Teddy Swims]

I didn't. Also didn't realize I was an alcoholic until I realized not everybody has chronic diarrhea every morning. You know what I'm saying? So it's not solid enough to really cause a scene. You know what I mean? It's been a while.

[Joe Jonas]

Get something to check.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yeah.

[Joe Jonas]

Maybe just before Coachella because you were drinking for a week or two. Okay, well, we also came with a gift for you. Okay. You're. How old are you now?

[Teddy Swims]

I'm 33.

[Joe Jonas]

Okay, perfect. So I've recently found my old collection of Pokemon cards. Yeah.

[Teddy Swims]

Okay. I've been seeing you collect some.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah. And I've been posting, annoyingly, a lot, but I'm going for it. And we brought you a gift that we thought we could open here with you. This is the 1999. 1999 sealed pack, booster pack. There's 11 cards in here. This is our gift to you because we love you.

[Kevin Jonas]

We're gonna rip it live.

[Joe Jonas]

We figured we'd rip it live if you're down.

[Teddy Swims]

Where did you get this?

[Kevin Jonas]

He bought it.

[Joe Jonas]

My dealer. And we figured.

[Teddy Swims]

That's how it says.

[Kevin Jonas]

We figured, figured.

[Joe Jonas]

Let's.

[Kevin Jonas]

Let's.

[Joe Jonas]

Let's see what you get.

[Teddy Swims]

Okay.

[Joe Jonas]

Whatever you pulls yours, and hopefully you pull Charizard.

[Joe Jonas]

Nah, it's yours, son.

[Teddy Swims]

Okay, we got a. Coughing.

[Joe Jonas]

Coughing.

[Nick Jonas]

[Joe Jonas]

[Joe Jonas]

We love. We love a Trainer.

[Kevin Jonas]

Early Joe.

[Joe Jonas]

Bill Pidgey.

[Kevin Jonas]

Everybody loves a Pidgey.

[Joe Jonas]

There's a lot of Pidgey fans out there.

[Teddy Swims]

Sandshrew. That's nice. Okay, we got a Haunter.

[Joe Jonas]

A haunter.

[Nick Jonas]

Hunter's good.

[Kevin Jonas]

Hunters are big.

[Teddy Swims]

I don't know if we're gonna get a holographic.

[Joe Jonas]

We'll see.

[Teddy Swims]

Pokedex.

[Kevin Jonas]

Interesting.

[Malcolm Glebel]

Hello. Hello, this is Malcolm Glebel from Smart talks with IBM. Today. We're diving into a fascinating conversation with Stefano Pallard, head of fan development for Scuderia Ferrari hp.

[Stefano Pallard]

Your pronunciation is strongly American. It's more Scuderia Ferrari.

[Malcolm Glebel]

I'm still working on rolling my R's, but what I was able to learn from Stefano was the importance of engaging the Tifosi, the Ferrari super fans in the digital age.

[Stefano Pallard]

Ferrari fans and super fans want to be part of something, want to belong to something. So they want to be part of a community and ultimately they want to be part of a winning team.

[Malcolm Glebel]

You've got Ferrari, which has a long history, design history, and now you're interacting in a kind of digital space. I'm curious how you balance those two traditions.

[Stefano Pallard]

When it comes to fan engagement, it's really digital technology. And digital channels are being able to create a deeper connection with our fans.

[Malcolm Glebel]

To learn more about how Ferrari and IBM are using technology to build deeper connections with fans, visit IBM.com Ferrari.

[Joe Jonas]

You're here for the AMAs.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah.

[Joe Jonas]

What are you performing? What's the plan?

[Teddy Swims]

Our song, Mr. Know It All.

[Kevin Jonas]

Hell yeah.

[Teddy Swims]

Recently. And then, you know, we're up for best collaboration, I believe it is, or whatever the verbiage is on that, but knock on wood. Yeah, we'll see. But what's your.

[Joe Jonas]

What's your take with award shows? Do you enjoy them? Do you feel like I enjoy them?

[Teddy Swims]

I think they're a little bit more like nerve wracking, though, you know what I mean? Because, like, when you agree with that, when you show, you're like, those people already like me.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah. And you're like, you're like, totally.

[Sheba Cat Food Advertiser]

Damn.

[Joe Jonas]

That artist I love is sitting down.

[Nick Jonas]

It's a little bad.

[Kevin Jonas]

I'm pretty sure everyone in the room loves you.

[Teddy Swims]

Well, I appreciate that.

[Joe Jonas]

You know, a lot of love to give. That's one thing I definitely hats off to you, is that you're you. Teddy Dash Bear is definitely a part of your DNA. And you, you're a sweetheart of a person. Genuinely, like, great to be around. And the people you have around you too, I think that's key. You know, you meet a lot of people's teams.

[Teddy Swims]

I've had the same band since I've been a little kid.

[Joe Jonas]

They're awesome.

[Kevin Jonas]

They rip, man.

[Nick Jonas]

They're so good.

[Joe Jonas]

Remind me your guitar player, he shreds Jesse or daddy.

[Teddy Swims]

Which one of the. Well, either one of them. They're both. They're both great.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah. Award shows are interesting. I mean, I feel like sometimes we've had experiences where we look at each other and we'll have a little pep talk. Like, yo, let's just have fun and let's go up to people and say hi. And I love when people. It's interesting when you disarm people by going up to them. And I know you're like this. You're like, yo, I love this song. I love this movie.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, I think it's. I think it's so important to, like, always say the thing, you know, because I feel like I've even also, you know, to give that guy some slack. I've never been like, I don't fuck with you to somebody, but I. I definitely get the, like, I don't want to bug them thing or the. Also the first thing that comes in my head, like, I don't want to be like, I love you, but what's. What's. Why do I do that? You know? And so I try to, like, just choke that back and be like, I love you, man. I'm such a massive fan. Like, it's. Everybody would love to hear that. Right?

[Kevin Jonas]

You know, that was like my biggest, like, lesson to myself when I was younger. We were at a showcase for, like, Columbia Records back in the day, and John Mayer was there. And of course, like, to me, that was my acoustic guitar education. You know, playing three by five was like the way I learned that a, you know, metaphor in song is like, what it was. Right. So he was there. I didn't say hi, and I regretted it like, the biggest. I was like, I'll never do that again. So like, my entire existence after that was just like, if I wanted to talk to somebody, I was going to go immediately up to them. So it taught me a good lesson.

[Nick Jonas]

I find award shows to be. It definitely, like, the social anxiety gets at an all time high.

[Teddy Swims]

Absolutely.

[Nick Jonas]

And I'm like, too conscious of kind of what everyone's thinking, but I think that everyone is doing that. My wife, the other day, we were actually the Oscars, and she was presenting and she was kind of stressed about it. I was like, just remember that everybody else here is also stressed about being here, no matter who they are.

[Joe Jonas]

Everyone took a while to, like, everyone got ready for this. They just rolled in.

[Kevin Jonas]

No one's eaten all day. Because there's always like, oh, there's gonna be food when you get there. And then there's never food.

[Teddy Swims]

There's like hors d'.

[Kevin Jonas]

Oeuvres.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah. It's just not enough food.

[Nick Jonas]

It's Like a piece of warm sushi.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's like hummus that sat out in the sun all day.

[Teddy Swims]

Cheese.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yeah. It's never enough food.

[Teddy Swims]

No, it's not. I chow beforehand, bro.

[Joe Jonas]

I mean, also pretty exciting that we're gonna be able to perform with you today.

[Teddy Swims]

Yes, bro.

[Joe Jonas]

Technically, when this airs, it'll be past south.

[Kevin Jonas]

It was so great performing with you

[Joe Jonas]

a long time coming, man. But it's honestly, like, such a dream. And we spoke about it. I was like, literally, I was like, I could show. We have to get you at our show now. And we were trying a few times because our tourists weren't. Weren't lining up. You love touring, dude.

[Teddy Swims]

I. I do. Yeah. I do.

[Joe Jonas]

Find yourself now more like the finish line is just getting home.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah. I think, because with a little one,

[Kevin Jonas]

like, how do you stay consistent? Like, what is your routine that keeps you, like, healthy on the road, man?

[Teddy Swims]

Cardio, like, I've been doing. We. I got into boxing about a year ago. Oh, that's, like, Been, like, something that's really. Cardio is always good. Try to get steam, bro. Steam is, like. You know, I think the beautiful thing is, like, so.

[Kevin Jonas]

Especially out here in the desert.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah. Well. But so really, it's acid reflux and steam are the only things that actually touch the vocal cords. So, you know when you're, like, swallowing tea or whatever, your little tongue lays over your vocal cords, so that helps the throat. But the only things that really hydrate the vocal cords is steam. So it's. It's steam room is.

[Joe Jonas]

Do you use that?

[Kevin Jonas]

One of those things?

[Joe Jonas]

I didn't know that.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah.

[Kevin Jonas]

You have one of those things, Joe, that, like.

[Joe Jonas]

I do, yeah.

[Teddy Swims]

It's. It's the best.

[Joe Jonas]

Dude, that's awesome. Like the vaporizer.

[Kevin Jonas]

The vaporizer thing?

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah, your.

[Kevin Jonas]

Your. Your stage bong.

[Joe Jonas]

My stage bong.

[Nick Jonas]

I don't think it's a real thing, but I will say that I heard that Amy Grant, the icon. Amy Grant used to eat lay's potato chips.

[Teddy Swims]

I've heard that. Yeah.

[Joe Jonas]

It's like glycerins of the throat.

[Nick Jonas]

And it. Actually, I've done it. It does work. It might just be a placebo thing, but I think it's great.

[Kevin Jonas]

She knows what she's. She can sing also.

[Nick Jonas]

Tequila helps as well.

[Teddy Swims]

Oh, yeah, I do. Have you ever had to. I mean, I'm sure you guys, like,

[Joe Jonas]

had to drink before show. We've had to do that,

[Teddy Swims]

but. Ever had to have the fucking rock.com and give you the.

[Joe Jonas]

We've had.

[Kevin Jonas]

We've had my pee smelled very like, intense the other day. And we were in the bathroom right before the show, and Nick's like, whoa, something's.

[Joe Jonas]

I'm like, hold on.

[Nick Jonas]

Just to be clear, we weren't in the bathroom together.

[Joe Jonas]

It was urinal.

[Kevin Jonas]

There's like multiple stalls. We were flying.

[Joe Jonas]

Mult. We were flying. Just crossing swords. We were in the airport.

[Teddy Swims]

Okay, so you guys still take baths together like five year olds.

[Kevin Jonas]

We still live in the same house with the fire pole, actually.

[Joe Jonas]

Yeah.

[Kevin Jonas]

But yeah, it's B12. B12 will do that too.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, dude, it's. It's. It's. It's like the perfect band aid. I know they'll always be like, you know, don't go too hard because it's just a temporary band aid. But I mean, still just going. Overseeing.

[Joe Jonas]

Do you have any, like, any show rituals or. There's certain things that you're like, superstitious about before you go on?

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah. Well, so we. We all like. When I was in high school, my. My theater teacher had taught us like, he'd always like, do like a pinky almost kind of thing with everybody. And so like, I noticed that with the.

[Kevin Jonas]

You seen with your wife. Is that part of that?

[Teddy Swims]

Well, not that, but before show, we all do that. And so we all like. And. And now like every one of us has added like our own kind of. Kind of secret handshake to it too. So now there's like all of us have like 70 of them that we're doing like prior to a show.

[Joe Jonas]

Three hours.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah, it's. It's like a 20 minute ordeal.

[Kevin Jonas]

It's on the day sheet. It's like a pre show.

[Teddy Swims]

Yeah.

[Kevin Jonas]

Dabs ups.

[Teddy Swims]

So we're all doing. And I like, I always find that like, you know, if. If something ever goes wrong, I blame it on like, oh, I missed that person, you know, which. Which is like. Which never. It probably isn't the case, but I think. I think I'm like, it's. It's. I find that I can't recover as well after like a mistake. If I have, then that just stays interesting.

[Joe Jonas]

You made your. I will say, like live. You are going. Your. Your vocal range is so impressive.

[Teddy Swims]

I'm screaming.

[Joe Jonas]

How do you like. So how do you. When you have three, four shows back? Like right now we're. We just got off a Vegas run. We did four nights, but we had one day off. But it's three shows in a row and the Vegas, you know, it's just dry out here.

[Kevin Jonas]

How do you keep.

[Joe Jonas]

How do you keep yourself going.

[Teddy Swims]

We try, we try not to.

[Joe Jonas]

You got the steam.

[Teddy Swims]

But we try not to do that.

[Joe Jonas]

Do you build the set list to make sure it happens?

[Teddy Swims]

Like, yeah. I mean sometimes I'll like maybe pull a song that's, you know, like I'm not doing that tonight, that's not happening. Or like, you know, like. But I, I, we haven't done like, like I won't do a tour with like. I remember when we first started touring it was like we do these like six in a rows and shit, you

[Joe Jonas]

know what I mean?

[Teddy Swims]

And these like small clubs and just screaming at the top of my lungs for an hour and a half. And I went through a phase where I didn't have a fall set up for like two and a half years. I really just was so cooked and it wasn't until we finally like when, when my son was born I took like a month off and just like was there for that whole situation and, and so like beautiful. It came back and I recovered and I was like, ah. And like. But I had not stopped toured until like for like four years and I just didn't have like my falsetto would be the first thing to go every time I'd get out on the road and then it would just, it was gone for I like literally almost three years. I just like couldn't do anything falsetto wise and so then I was like over correcting and screaming some of those notes and only causing further damage. And so I just, yeah, I try, we try our best now to schedule more off days and stuff and like if we're doing a tour, I'm like, I'm not doing three in a rows are just so brutal.

[Kevin Jonas]

Yeah, we're definitely looking at how we tour and like how we keep home life more stable and I mean we've been talking.

[Teddy Swims]

We.

[Joe Jonas]

A Teddy Jonas tour's got to happen.

[Nick Jonas]

It's got to happen.
