[Jonas]

Hey Jonas. Hey everyone.

[Kevin]

Hey you. This is the bowl game. I just realized we don't have to say it's us then they're tuning into our. It's literally called the hey Jonas podcast.

[Jonas]

It could be on like rotation, like a guest host. Like no, like, like it could just podcast on shuffle. I don't know, maybe. Is that how these things work?

[Kevin]

No. You should know. You literally we're doing podcast. Okay, let's do the bowl game. Oh, we got the bowl question here. The eight ball. Eight ball Question. How did we get this eight ball?

[Jonas]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Kevin]

It's easy to pack. It's. The moment is now. It's probably. We probably stole it from. We should.

[Bowen Yang]

Easy to.

[Kevin]

I think we stole it from a hotel. We should sell, like the. The. Hey, Jonas package. You can get the. That's great. Funko Pops. You can get your own April. And we need more things that are. Get your own microphone thing. Do you know it's time to buy new underwear? How often do you guys buy new underwear?

[Jonas]

You don't.

[Kevin]

I mean, what do you know? You don't buy your underwear. I actually do Amazon. You don't buy your. No, I don't, but I definitely. There's a. You know, I have like a two, three week window. You got to get.

[Jonas]

You're a two to three weeker.

[Kevin]

I think you have to get new undies. You just have to wash them. You wash them, but you can't hold on to those puppies for too long. I actually have a theory about this. I think sometimes you outgrow underwear. Not literally, but, like, life experience.

[Jonas]

You think about, like, nice.

[Kevin]

You know what I mean? I know what you mean, bro. Kev. Kev. That ever happened to you?

[Jonas]

Stupid.

[Bowen Yang]

No.

[Jonas]

Oh, God.

[Kevin]

Oh, no. I'm getting faster at this.

[Jonas]

Every three months, a new set, whole new reset. Danielle is pretty on it.

[Kevin]

And she buys your underwear for you.

[Jonas]

She does.

[Kevin]

Nice. Feels like. And buy your own underwear. Yeah, she.

[Jonas]

She just does it. I don't know. I was trying to.

[Kevin]

I was gonna say something. I just stopped myself. It was like the last episode was like, you can't dress yourself.

[Jonas]

No, I can't. But she actually.

[Kevin]

I don't know.

[Jonas]

She does. And it's an amazing thing that I don't have to think about.

[Kevin]

Perfect. Happy for you. All right, next question. Forgot it wasn't the bolt. Was my duty. Okay. When was the last time you cried and why the last time I cried? Watching a movie always gets me. Movie on a plane, dude. Yeah.

[Jonas]

You're way more emotional watching movie on a plane by yourself. There.

[Kevin]

It says there's a science behind that. We should have asked Bill Nye. It's also science behind why tomato juice and Bloody Marys are so good on the plane. Really? Yeah. Because something about the airplane sort of like, dims your senses, your flavor senses. So because of the vibrancy of tomato juice. And it does.

[Jonas]

It dims your senses.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Jonas]

That's why the food's fantastic on planes.

[Kevin]

Last time I cried, I think it was also a film On a plane. I don't remember the film though.

[Jonas]

I got really emotional getting into a reel that I was watching of parents coming home from deployment to their children.

[Kevin]

That'll get you.

[Jonas]

And it got me so good. I was just a mess.

[Kevin]

Mmm.

[Jonas]

Thank you, veterans, for all that you do.

[Kevin]

It was surprising, too. How many alarms do you set in the morning and what are they labeled? Oh, wow.

[Jonas]

1.

[Kevin]

Let's get into it.

[Jonas]

Single alarm. I'm usually up before my alarm, but when my alarm does go off, I am up and out.

[Kevin]

This is the kind of stuff I'm working with. I've got like five. I have one and it says, wake up.

[Jonas]

Beautiful. That's a. Wah wah.

[Kevin]

Gotta speak positive to yourself in the morning. I like that. But I, I can sleep through an alarm. As you guys know. I can sleep through anything.

[Jonas]

You, you, you are a deep sleeper.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Let's get one more. If you lost your sense of taste, what food would you keep eating? Purely for texture. For texture. For texture.

[Jonas]

Oatmeal.

[Kevin]

It's an interesting one because on one hand. Oatmeal.

[Jonas]

Yeah. I like, I have a morning routine right now that I just. I'm kind of addicted to. So it just feels like I'm missing something if I don't have my oatmeal morning.

[Kevin]

Tell people what it is so that you know.

[Jonas]

It's a measured out cup of egg whites. Literally one cup of egg whites and a single egg full egg scrambled together. Well done. And then it is a two thirds cup of oatmeal in a 1 cup water boiled. And then once you boil it down, cook it down, you add a scoop of thorn chocolate protein powder on top. And that is my breakfast.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Sounds delectable.

[Jonas]

It actually is. Fantastic. Come on. And then you put sriracha on the egg.

[Kevin]

You said that like you were. You were talking about like a souffle like that. It sounds like the most boring.

[Jonas]

I actually, like wake up. Looking forward to it. I know that's stupid, but I'd see

[Kevin]

you live your life, dude. I think, look, everybody's got their thing. You got measured out oatmeal. Simply for texture. I'm going to, I'm going to go.

[Jonas]

I will say thorn is pretty great though. Not non, non promoted posterior, but Thorn, Thorn protein powder. It's one. Only one. I found that actually. Really?

[Kevin]

This is gonna be like one of those clips on the Joe Rogan podcast where it's like they're talking about Thorn. Thorn's actually got some really good bio benefits.

[Jonas]

Like.

[Kevin]

Yeah, yeah, Free Thorn Yeah, I just

[Jonas]

want to stop buying it, send it my way.

[Kevin]

I would for just texture. I. If, if there's no taste, probably going still. Those chocolate covered sponge candies that we love. Oh, it's a great call on. The teeth are nice.

[Jonas]

Yeah, they have that crisp.

[Kevin]

Well, they're really good. So. So the story goes that someone gifted our family this. This box of Watson's sponge candy from Buffalo, New York. And it's this specific place. Green Box makes it and it's. Green Box. It's fantastic. And if you put them in the

[Jonas]

freezer, it's even better.

[Kevin]

The crunch on it, it's just magical.

[Jonas]

We actually have a bi weekly reoccurring order at the house.

[Kevin]

I have a monthly order.

[Jonas]

Valentina is so addicted and loves them so much, we have them as her treat in her lunchbox.

[Kevin]

I mean, that's fantastic. I did a Watson's little gift for. For Christmas this year.

[Jonas]

It's a great Christmas gift for people.

[Kevin]

For the people you love. Watsons. Watson's a lot like an edible arrangement.

[Jonas]

I like this one better. Yeah,

[Kevin]

One more, one more, One more from the ball. And we have to go record our new album.

[Jonas]

If we must.

[Kevin]

A little bit of tea there. If you had to swap lies with one fictional character for a week, who would you pick? Tony Stark.

[Jonas]

Oh, yes. Tony Stark.

[Kevin]

Amazing. I'm gonna go with Jumper. What's his name? Looper. Looper. No, Jumper. The guy's. They didn't do very well, but it's a great movie.

[Jonas]

Oh, that movie was amazing. They should have made a second one.

[Kevin]

He's with Anakin. The guy that plays Anakin. Yeah, yeah.

[Jonas]

Hayden Christian, but Hayden Christensen.

[Kevin]

Hayden Christian.

[Jonas]

God, I got a name right. Give me some applause on that. Thank you, Joe.

[Kevin]

By the way, we've got some great feedback from Priyanka on the pod. Oh, yeah, she liked the poi bit. She thought that was very funny. Well, it was true. It's true.

[Land.com Narrator]

It's.

[Kevin]

Oh, dream. Get Priyanka Chopra, Jonas. Priyanka Chopra, Jonas. No, I want. I want Priyanka Chopra on the show Pre.

[Jonas]

Pre marriage.

[Kevin]

Just like Kevin wants.

[Jonas]

Tony's arc is.

[Kevin]

She's playing and then I can see if there's. I can watch if there's a.

[Jonas]

If there's a vibe between. Oh, you know what? That's. That's the only requirement she can have

[Kevin]

when she, you know. We just celebrated our eight year first date anniversary, which Kevin was there for. I was. It was a couple days ago. He was pretty great in the room. I. July 18th I wingman hard. He did. He.

[Jonas]

I wingman so hard, I threw up in the bathroom and rallied. No, the phrase clap, clap, clap, clap.

[Kevin]

It was actually. It was a no. Tell me when I hit my buttons. So then in July, it's her birthday, the 18th. What are we doing? What are we doing? We're gonna do something together. Little vacay. And then on the 19th is our engagement anniversary. Eight years, which is only a month and a half or almost, you know, two months after we had a first date.
