Angie Martinez IRL - Bebe Rexha: Having The Confidence To Go All In On What You Want

29:04Infancy? Yeah. I was definitely not even a teenager. I don't even think I was a preteen at that time. And you have no recollection of the song? Or you do? I don't have... Okay, this is where I have only recollection. From TV shows. Shut up. Yes, from TV shows or movies. And I'm like, oh, that song is from this movie. Oh my god, I want to punch you right now. It sounds familiar, but I wasn't downloading it on my iPod. Well, because there was no downloading of iPods. Not during the time it came out. When the song came out. People still play it. Yeah. But I just wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't a part of that moment of when it actually came out.

29:42When it actually happened. Wait, did the video like premiere on MTV? No, it was like, it was just, it was like, it was a major motion picture, the video. Go back and do some research, please, today. If nothing else from this list and these songs, if there are songs on this list that you guys don't know, they're on the list for a reason. Like, Every song, there's a reason. So do a little research. At the very least, it'll be fun to kind of go down just some historic moments because obviously they are there for a reason. So whether it was like the video was incredible, the dance was incredible, or for some other reason, these songs all just made such an impact that it'd be worth if it's a song that you don't know or it wasn't like your era.

30:29it's a good place to start just being put on to something different. The beat is definitely legendary. Like there was many a ringtone. Many a ringtone. Yeah, forgot about the ringtone. For sure. Remember you used to have to download The ringtone. You used to have to buy your ringtones. They were low-key annoying though, right? What? I love a customization. Yeah, but I don't want to hear everybody else's is the problem. Your own is fine but having to hear other people's ringtones I didn't always want to hear that. No. But I find it annoying. What is this? Five people in the room and five people got different ringtones.

31:03You liked that? You wanted to hear that? Yeah, because it tells you about the person. If the person's cool and got good taste. Anyways, tune in to the Sprite Living Tracklist. Check out the Sprite Living Tracklist and break down the stories behind your favorite bars. The link is in our show notes, so you can check that out. This is the Sprite Living Tracklist. Obey your thirst. How about you? What's your best asset? What is my best asset? I think your teeth are gorgeous. Okay. I keep looking at them. Thank you. All right. Your eyes, your nose. You have a cute nose. You have a cute nose. I have a good nose.

31:36My friend Adrian always thinks I had a nose job. I have to show her like baby pictures. You didn't get a nose job? Never. I swear. Never did it. People say for me, I don't got a nose job. I don't got a nose job. This is my nose. You can look at pictures when I was a kid. This is God's work. Yeah, God's work. I also have really good nail beds. Okay. I need a manicure right now. My nail beds. Really good nail beds. My nail beds are okay. Really? Yeah. What else do I like? I like that I'm a very honest person. I love that. Yeah. That's more a character, I guess, than an asset, right? Yeah, no, it's okay.

32:05That's a good thing. Yeah. You mean attributes? I don't know anything. What do I like? This is such a good question. I don't know. I should like more. Yeah, you do. You're a great speaker. You seem kind. Am I great? You seem honest. I'm honest. I'm an honest person for sure. Sometimes good and bad. I like it. As we said, this is our unapologetic. You gotta get it out. You know, I feel like as I'm, you know, growing older or wiser, I feel like I'm kind of and it's true. My mom's like, just wait, you know, I kind of am getting to a place where I'm like, I don't got time for it. Like it really is good.

32:38You know, it really is good. You're not bringing good vibes to my life or like like, you know, like I want good. I want to have fun. I don't want to be like, like deal with people. You made a post in December. I'm looking for your baby daddy. Oh, gosh. I've not found one. You haven't, but let me find it. I got to find the car because I have specific questions about it. Here it is. Mission. Find my baby daddy. Do you want a baby daddy or do you want a husband? Or do you want a boyfriend? What is it exactly? I don't know. You don't know. Really, I just want to find somebody like and be with somebody who, I don't know.

33:13I just want to, you know, like when you could talk to somebody for hours. Yes. And they're your bestie. That vibe. You want a bestie. I want a bestie. But he also should be, you're okay with his looks being a six or a seven. Yes. You're not big on a, he doesn't have to be like a model. Because nah. Right. I don't, I mean like if somebody, if God wants to bring me a model, I'm fine with that. Like I'm not against it, but I'm not saying like that's not my main thing. When I was younger, that was different. I want it tall and this and that. And now I'm like, it's not really about that. He's got to be what?

33:44Let's see. He's got to be taller than you. Yeah, a little. Like I don't mind a short king. they gotta feel tall yes but here you said 5 '8 and up yeah excuse me okay so 5 '7 is out he would have to be extraordinary could he stand could he stand tall on his money oh please can I tell you a lot of men a lot of men and I feel even on my end will be like you know they always like are worried about a gold digger and I'm like what is there to gold dig what is there to gold dig I don't see nothing what cause you bought me a two three hundred dollar dinner you know what I mean so it's like unless you're coming at me with, you know, I don't know what.

34:23Like what would it take? Bags and jewelry? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Because can I be honest? I could buy that for myself. I could fly private if I want myself. I can take myself on. I've done it all. Take myself on vacation, get my own Birkin, buy my own jewelry. I don't look at the price. I don't care. But now I'm like, that doesn't really matter. You know? I think money is important. from what I've learned for me personally, for comfort. And like, God forbid something happens. I had a cousin who he's so much better now, thank God. He needed a heart transplant. And you believe they came to him and was like, look, you're so bad that we're going to put you first on the list.

35:07But if you have two mil cash, you can have a heart tomorrow. And that's what scares me. Like when my parents get old, like I want to take care of them. you know um security like now like they're you know my brother's getting married in a month so like they wanted my mom wanted to redo the whole house so she's like can i get this bed set can i do the floors i need a new fridge can i get a marble countertop can i and i was like yes yeah like what if i don't do that for my mom who am i gonna do it for what do you do what is it for yeah so i'm like that's what i that's what i like money for to take care of the people around me and to make memories yeah you know i i flew my grandmother out to la for the first time she never been to california wow she was like no no no because she's old school set in her ways flew her out with my mom business she had the best time of her life yeah she never flew business in her life she couldn't believe they served her food um that's well spent money she sat by the pool all day we didn't do anything crazy sat by the pool took her out a couple of nights for dinner you know made her some food she keeps talking about that you would think she went to like Fiji or something but that's right that's what I care about you know isn't that true the best really money that's the best thing that it can provide comfort and experience memories for me because if I end up with somebody who has a lot of money and they're never there for me what do I need that for yeah I'm big on that too I'm always unless you're like that kind of girl which is fine it's harder for me where you have that person just like there for the lifestyle and then you got a side piece but I just can't do that so much drama exhausting but I don't judge it because some people can do that for sure so i don't judge that by the way everybody's choices is their own it's not for us to judge as i said from the beginning you have your own choices yeah no judgment but for you well you did say in this i'm going back to what you tweeted he does have he can't be a moocher that's what you said does anybody want a moocher though nobody wants a moocher he must be richer than me or equal yes because i let me add to that okay i've been in situations where I've gone on a vacation and I had a boyfriend at the time who bought me a rug at Macy's.

37:18So a rug at Macy's is not going to be crazy. It was like on sale was, you know, two, three grand, whatever, four grand, maybe kind of expensive, but not like, you know, and we were on vacation. That vacation ended up being expensive, way more than that, like 20, 30 G's and we're checking out of the vacation, but he wanted nice dinners. He wanted this and that. And then at the end I go to, you know, put my credit card down. I'm like looking at him and he walks away to get the bags. So I'm paying for the whole vacation. And he's like, Hey babe, I know that it would be four grand. I know it was like 20 something, almost 30 grand.

37:55He's like, we're even. So I was like, I'm not going to even create a, you know, I don't want to get into argument right now, but like those moments, but it's like, also if you didn't pick the hotel, like if you didn't pick the hotel if you picked another hotel i would understand he picked the expensive hotel yes and then said yeah i was like oh i like he's like which one do you like i was like oh i like this one yeah he didn't say you got this i thought we were gonna split it and i he ended up just saying the four thousand dollar carpet was made us even i don't like that no you know at least to me i am the type of girl like don't get me wrong i like nice things but if i had a guy say hey let's go to cheesecake factory i love cheesecake factory yeah i'll go to the Cheesecake Factory.

38:35You feel me? Yeah, I do. It's more about like, you don't want to feel somebody's trying to play you. Really, that's what it is. Not even playing me, but then always in some way, it always gets to them like where it like starts bleeding into the relationship. Because I feel like in the end of the day, like I do feel like men do want to feel like they're providing in a sense. I don't think any man wants to feel like the bitch in the relationship. I feel like men want to provide. They want, if they could, they would buy you the bag. They would buy you things that make you happy or rose so that's what I meant I got a lot of like online people were like that's so blah blah blah and I was like okay that's fine you have your opinion I have my opinion you know but you also say he has to have good personality and good morals and be smart and driven those are all amazing qualities yeah because to me it's like I don't even mind somebody who is not where I'm at right now but is driven and has so much passion that I know that they'll get to where they need to be and I'm down to support that that's like like right now to answer your question there are no baby daddies there's nothing like you know i put me putting myself out there it's a little hard because like the dating apps are like yeah how do you even date i don't could you go have you been on a dating app could you do that i have before really as a famous person yeah all bad did everybody know you were on it no everybody says oh i had no idea who you were but like my instagram is linked to it you know what i mean i wish i would have linked another Instagram and I'm like really he's like oh I never even googled you nothing like that and I'm like my mom and grandmother google everybody like they'll get they'll get all your info you know what I mean so I think that's funny um and I believed it but now I think I just try to meet people through friends I slide into dms you do oh yeah I love that we always hear about women who get their dms like this you have a hair right here it's bothering the other side thank you Virgo um detail queen but also you know I slide into dms all the time but that's fascinating What do you mean nobody reads them?

40:25They don't see it. Or they just don't respond. Oh, no. Well, what kind of guys DMs are you sliding into? All shapes, colors, sizes, everything. Oh, you're just out here shooting your shot. Honestly, I just slid. I recently slid into Drake's DM. You did? After his thing. And I was like, I was like, I am your dream girl. I'm Albanian. I got a fat ass. I got my own thing going on for me. And I don't even think he saw it. Or he saw it and just ignored it. Wait, did it say red? No. Oh, so it's unread. Yeah, but can you also... Does he follow you? No. Well, he follows me. Ooh! I'm just saying, if you wanted to DM him from mine, he would see it.

41:04If you wanted to DM him from my page and say, this is Bebe. No, that's crazy. That's too thirsty. Maybe you could be like, hey, I want to set you up with my friend. Okay. Should I do it now? Because to me, if he goes, nah, I'm good on her, I'll be like, okay, he's good on me. Is that how you would feel? Yeah, nah. Or would you write a song about him? Drake didn't want me Champagne poppy It's okay because I like Prosecco Yo, Champagne poppy didn't want me but it's okay because I like Prosecco It's a song! Wait, didn't want me, it's okay because I like that Prosecco What do you call that? The auntie, the wine or like Chianti Yeah, it rhymes Champagne poppy didn't want me but that's okay because I like that Chianti that's a song smash i also wrote a lyric the other day i was like i don't fret on no man because i got eggs on ice i got my eggs on ice i'm not tripping yo eggs on ice is a smash yeah champagne poppy ain't want me is a smash by the way drake will fuck around and take that hook and put some verses on it and it could be a smash for drake that's fine with you on the hook i'm down and then in the studio session you could see if a vibe is there or not like is that how you would behave i just feel like honestly i feel like that anybody anybody who's dated rihanna like you just you can never like go up from there like she's the baddest so you think he's like he's he's damaged now because i don't know about damage but like i just feel like she's the top tier so where do you go where do you go yeah you where do you go from there we're just gonna keep it 100 you know what i mean she's so bad like yeah how do you even recover after that?

42:50Honestly, I wouldn't even know how. Yeah. I would be hard, I don't know. Seeing her everywhere, killing it, you know, now with her kids. She's got a beautiful family. She looks good. She's a billionaire. Maybe you could help Drake get through this time. Yeah. He's still gonna reach out after this. Nah, I doubt it. If for nothing else, the song. I think I bumped into him at an award show one time, but he was with this crew and there was some drama going on at the time and I was like, hey daddy hey baby hey daddy and he got like he gave me the dirtiest look i don't think and his security came to me and was like do not call him that i was like oh okay no way yeah it was nominated it was a grammy actually at the grammys i was nominated that year for best new artist we're gonna send the message today we're gonna draft the rest it's before you leave you gotta let me know when it's okay i'm gonna how would you show up though like it's been so long since you texted with me.

43:43I finally got a break, but now I feel like I'm on ecstasy.

43:50Teach me, baby. Hey everyone, it's the Jonas Brothers with the Hey Jonas podcast. We've been catching up with some great friends, Paul Rudd, Michael Buble, Seth Meyers, Niall Horan, Jake Shane, and making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex and Ashton Earl. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone what to do. Okay, well control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so quiet, I would speak for, like, the both of us. Now I'm working on, like, thinking a moment, really knitting, thinking before I speak.

44:24And Joey King. You know if your, like, mom is yelling at your sibling, and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just, like, won't let that slide. It's like, only you can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here. That is not a lie. You don't want to talk about her like that. Only I talk about her like that. Plus, we've been taking your calls, listening to your voicemails and giving you advice. Or at least trying to. So if you've got catching up to do, now's the perfect time. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman.

44:59I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself.

45:40So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

49:35Everybody in the room is going to walk. Just when you win awards for all of these, just give us a shout out. Of course. That's all we need. That's it. I'm a bad flirt, though. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not a good flirt. I just start saying stupid things. Like, I open too much, you know? Because I'm so used to being around guys in the studio. And growing up in New York, plus being Albanian, I have, like, a little bit of masculine vibe to me. So I, like, talk to them as if my friends. But, like, there's certain levels that you don't want to talk about. You know what I mean? But you do. Yeah, like anything and everything.

50:05And my manager's like, she was hanging out with me. She's like, let's not say that again. She's like, let's not talk about you and another guy. Like, you know what I mean? You're talking about another guy? Yes. That's terrible. Well, maybe that's why I'm, maybe I am the problem. Maybe you are the problem. You know? No, you just have to find your person. I don't know how to flirt, you know? I don't know that I know how to flirt either. And then I try to like, clean it up. And I call some guy, I was like, thank you, daddy, or whatever. and he just didn't even respond to it. Maybe the daddy's not working out for you.

50:35Yeah. Because that's the second time. We'll just rethink daddy. Yeah, we'll rethink that. We'll rethink that. Maybe they're not up to that. Maybe that's not a thing anymore. I just don't know how to like, I just don't know how to be more like feminine. That's always something I'm trying to grow into. Like, you know, like in the soft girl era. Yeah. But like the second you get me pissed or like angry in traffic or something, it just like goes, you know? Not savage, but like, I'll be like, bro, what the fuck? Well, I interviewed Remy Ma recently. Love Remy, right? She's also saying she's in her soft girl era.

51:06So I said, well, what does that look like for you, Rem? Because you can't tell somebody. Because, you know, Remy is known for telling people to suck her dick. She says, suck my dick. I said, Remy, you can't say suck my dick in your soft girl era. And she said, yes, I can. I just have to say it nicely. She said, suck my dick. Stop. I mean, that's kind of cute. That's kind of cute. That was her version. Maybe that's her version of the soft girl era. That's what I'm saying. That's her version. So maybe you just have to find what your version of it is and it's still true to you. You know what I mean?

51:35Or maybe I just need to find somebody who likes me for who I am and understands me. Because that's like my favorite kind of person when they just get my sarcasm. Like a big thing for me, too, is like if you're in my family, like we joke a lot and we're like all like crazy and we're doing pranks and this and that. And we're loud like they need to be able to get along with my family. Yes. You know, like I sound like you have a dope family. Yeah, I do. like my like that ex-warfant I was talking about um you hate him I don't really have many ex-warfants I know but you hate him I can tell no I don't hate him I don't hate anybody okay okay hate is strong he's not a bad person but it just you know didn't work out but my like when I had I didn't see my mom for like six months so I went over her house and I was like mom can I just sleep with you and the dog today in the bed I just want to be next to my mom and he was like that's so weird is that weird no that's i don't think it's weird but that's my mom like even when i actually think it's really sweet even when my grandma comes over because i don't know she's getting older and stuff i'll i'll like sleep with my grandma like come grandma stay with me in the bed you know and she loves it we have like watch a movie this and that like i feel like that's the best and i just want somebody to understand my dynamic you know yeah i don't know you're in this era now like you're in you you got a new album out yeah and now now knowing you better and you telling me like the like the past of you just coming into like being proud of your culture and then having that represented on the album is really cool and you know what I'm saying that must all feel really good for you I was telling like I was telling my friend um like I remember very clearly when I was about to do the song with uh Nikki No Broken Hearts back in the day and I was like I want to dye my hair blonde.

53:17And everybody on my team was like, no. And my mom was like, no, you're going to burn your hair. And she wasn't wrong. You know, she wasn't wrong. And I remember going into the salon myself and sitting there for 14 hours. But then the second I saw myself in the sink, like with my hair wet, I was like, OMG, like I feel like me. And a lot of people are like, oh, that feels like you're like running away from yourself. I'm like, no, I'm like, I feel like more like myself. I love, love, love being blonde. And for me, besides it, like when people go, oh, Dirty Blonde, the album, I'm like, it's not just because I'm blonde.

53:49That, of course, was part of it because I feel like I finally in my life once made a decision without being scared and asking for everybody's approval. And I've always find that very hard, you know, because my mom was 17 when she had me. We were very close. So I always kind of go to her for like, which I love but I always go to her for like approval or like her ideas and I think throughout this process has been a lot longer wanting to trust myself and like making my own decisions like my manager right now even like usually I would go through all these people but I met her and I was like I'm hiring you but whereas like everybody around me was like I'm not sure this and that and I was like no I fuck with her she's a bad bitch I believe in her and she's been one of the best decisions I've made in a long time.

54:34I love that for you. Yeah. And it's so hard to find good management. And then like my partners at my independent label empire, like just being around people that like are allowing me and like that nothing is like do or die. Like everything is like the journey. Yeah. You know, also there's like nothing more badass than a woman who is not afraid to kind of like steer her own boat. I'm still afraid. You know what I mean? But I'm just not afraid that it's not it's that it's stopping you. We are all afraid. We're all afraid, but it doesn't, but it doesn't stop you from making the decisions you want to make you don't let fear sometimes like i still work with people there's certain things that i wish like could be a certain way but then i also understand that it's a collaborative process but i'm also more like i'm not scared to send a text or make a call to be like hey i know we're doing this but i just want to you know and i know this is a you know a group uh decision but i also have people around me where i'm like i don't think this is the right move.

55:26I'm going to put this out there. So I think this is what should happen. You know what I mean? Yes. Being a boss. Yeah. Come on, boss. Lean into it. I want that for you. I want you to lean all the way into that. I know. You have it in you. You're so bad already. Then I will finally, you know, we talk about like wanting to hit the mountaintop because I feel like in my career, I've been very blessed. I'm very grateful, but I feel like I still haven't hit that mountaintop. What is that? What does it look like? The mountaintop to me is it clicking so clearly brand wise musically um the recognition from my peers um and most importantly the people you know continuing to build a fan base and like getting back to my roots because when i first started i was so clear on who i was you know i was always this more moody girl new york city unapologetic and then as i started going into the major label system i felt like i got kind of diluted to be like and then when I met my friend Lil Eddie he's from New York he's an amazing songwriter he was like BB he's like I'm not gonna lie like I love you like when I see your Instagram he's like I feel like you're like giving Barbie vibes very like polished and he's like that's not what you are at all and I was like hmm and he was like the first person to kind of tell me that to my face and I was like he's not wrong I love that yeah when we were working on this album I'm like I think that's a continuation like that's still something I'm trying to do whereas like I'm not trying to add and do my hair you know because always I was always like should my hair be pink like how do I connect to the should it be red dyed it red dyed it pink did it this this and that and then I finally hit a place where I'm like okay this new era if dirty blonde is just kind of starting the fire the embers this is all about mostly taking away you know yeah being not waiting like I'm on my journey of like wanting to get back to my best self with my body with my like music with all the things, how I feel.

57:20And I was like, I could hide behind the doors continuously and make the decisions I don't want to make. Or I could go through the journey and people could watch me. Right? Yes. Do you feel like you're doing it? Yeah, because like sometimes I have like things come up like in the past and I'm like, I don't want to do it because I don't feel like good in my body. I feel like people talk shit all the time. And then now I'm like, that's the worst feeling. But I'm like, if you wait forever, you're never going to get to that. Like, what are you going to wait forever? so it's like i'd rather do it and like be on that journey and like just accept myself as you are right and work in progress right it's not like well because some people have not seen me for a while and i'll start popping on their page now and they're like god damn what happened to her and i was like um i am grown now and i was like 24 you know what i mean and starving so like you know we're on the way starving not starving let's not say no i know but but on like a diet that was like no carbs for like two years and i'm like nah do you feel good in your skin now?

58:15In your body? I feel better, but I still like, I'm getting to a place where I'm like feeling better, but I still want to be more snatched. But this is for me because I want to be able to not have to wear a faja, a corset, two pairs of Spanx all the time. Yes. You know what I mean? Like I hate like all the, you know what I mean? I see my friends like going out with no stockings on. I'm like, you fucking bitch. No faja, no corset. I'm like, goddamn, I'm here like strapped in. Strapped in, baby. Like strapped in, you know, on stage like, you know. But that's different. You wanting to do that for yourself is different than you not going out or showing up because you're worried about...

58:50You know, I kind of like, even like, I kind of like felt like even when for dating for a second, I was kind of like, I don't know. I don't want to be like in front of a guy. Like, I don't know why guys always do this. They're like, oh, let's go swim. And I'm like, like, we know when they want to like swim on the first or second date. I'm like, that is... No, because you're trying to see me with no makeup on and in my bikini. Absolutely not. You know, like what happens to like a dinner or like a drink? Like, why do we got to go straight to the pool? because they want to see you like that's their thing their little secret that must be an LA thing that's not in New York we have the pools open all day so I was like no but then also I was kind of like insecure and then now I've come to a point I'm like you know what I'm curvy I got like you know some extra weight on me but I'm like I'm sexy you know what I mean like when I put on like a tight little outfit snatch myself in I still got the curves so I don't know so you might go on a bathing suit date I'll do like a one piece Should we go to bowl or should we go to voice note Wait wait before we do that I do And I don't want to make this sad because it's such a Beautiful conversation But I do want to talk about Dolly because How lucky are you As a human being That you got to work with Dolly Parton There's so many stories of me And like how the New York City in me came in Like even when I worked like With Nikki back in the day with whoever I like I always found a way like I would show up to a party and give people my like like play them the song or send them the mp3 and I met Danny who was her manager at the time and he came to my show and I was like Danny I want a song with Dolly Danny I want a song with Dolly would send him songs throughout the years throughout the years throughout the years then I finally found an engineer that I was working with that was very close with her engineer and her engineer played the song for her in the studio like I'm telling you like I tried everything she heard seasons and loved it and i couldn't believe it and i was like can we please shoot a visual for it please please please um i was like i'll fly to nashville i'll fly to your studio i'll do whatever you guys need to do what was that though why did you want it so bad i just first of all she's iconic but also like my grandmother always used to play her like that was my grandmother's favorite artist so i knew a lot about her and then as i was growing up I did research on her like her interviews like when they would try to like put her down like about her the way she dressed her hair how she wore her boobs and the corset the way she was always able to spin the interview like it never phased her yeah and I love that about her yeah and like they might they might say I remember an interview where they said she was like came from like a like a trashy family or something like that and the way she made it seem was like yeah I did or like whatever like she was always so proud of her roots and i just love love that about her and it never like the interview never came off like nasty or whatever she was just so sweet and i don't and then i learned that she did i will always love you for whitney use and she had her own version i didn't know she wrote all her songs so that to me is like because like to write your own records is like really hard i was gonna say as a songwriter i'm sure it's so much more difficult than like having the song sent to you it's so much harder you know um and then her story about elvis wanting it like elvis presley elvis presley wanted her song i will always love you originally sorry i don't know why i don't know why i went to someplace else i thought he like was trying to i'm sure she was hot too but he wanted her song and at the time don't forget she's a female and his manager called her and said okay well we don't do any song for elvis unless he has publishing and she owned a hundred percent and she was like sorry can't do that and then she said for years and years that really upset her it bummed her out but then she saw that like when Whitney did it it was like meant to be for that moment and I don't know just like everything all the assets of her and then finally meeting her I met her at her um her album release party you know I didn't want to take too much of her time but I love the energy and then when we finally shot the video for seasons I don't know like she had like I said like she had the most energy in the room like her energy like her the glow she had like I joke I'm like her heels were crazy they were like this yeah I believe that I was like OMG her hair was bigger than mine she had like thing her outfit was better her corset was tighter her tits were like this I was like oh my god she is like perfect yeah she is who she who she thinks she is yeah like sweet and sweet and like what a reputation to have yeah so I don't know where I was recently um oh I was at you know with my sister-in-law doing some bridal stuff for her and I felt so bad because we were trying on like you know crowns and headpieces for her and then I saw the news and And I just, I like just checked out, you know?

1:03:59And I think almost like it's sad, you know, obviously. But I really, really hope that like we keep her legacy alive. Hey everyone, it's the Jonas Brothers with the Hey Jonas podcast. We've been catching up with some great friends, Paul Rudd, Michael Buble, Seth Meyers, Niall Horan, Jake Shane. and making some new friends while getting into what's really like to have sisters, like Alex and Astrid and Earl. She likes to control everyone and tell everyone what to do. Okay, well control is a harsh word. I would say that's a harsh word. I am more outspoken. Growing up a lot of the times because she was so quiet, I would speak for like the both of us.

1:04:40Now I'm working on like thinking a moment, really knitting it in, thinking before I speak. And Joey King. You know if your like mom is yelling at your sibling and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just like won't let that slide. It's like only you can yell at your sibling. I'm like, you can't do that here. That is not about her like that. Only I talk about her like that. Plus, we've been taking your calls, listening to your voicemails and giving you advice. Or at least trying to. So if you've got catching up to do, now's the perfect time. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

1:05:15On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it.

1:05:55It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And like, but like with her, like being the icon that she was. Classy, classy woman. Classy, polished, funny, sweet, laughing, amazing energy. Did she show you love? Like when you first met, did she like, like, I don't know. Did she give you any? When I tell you, she sent me a letter, a handwritten letter that they scanned and sent to my email.

1:09:46But when I went into Patti's house recently, I was like, you know, Patti has pictures with the Obamas, Elton John. You're like, I don't know who's Elton John, but who she I mean, just everywhere. It's just her suite. It's her whole it's the history. It's a museum. It's a Patti LaBelle museum. Oh, my God.

1:10:21You don't want to feel like you're... Yeah, I don't want to. But then I was like, recently, I've been feeling like I want to put some of them up. Like I have a letter that Tupac sent me, right? And I have that framed in my house. A letter from Dolly Parton. I know, iconic. You kind of want to put it... Okay, I got to do it. You want to put it somewhere significant in your home, I think. I would think. I'm going to get it like nice frame. You posted something about Dolly. What was the, read it. No, I think it was a TikTok I did. There was a girl who was talking about, I don't know, even recently, she was like, to me, I'm like, we want to like, sometimes when I go out, I'm like, am I doing too much?

1:10:55And I'm like, who cares? Dolly would never. Dolly would never. Dolly, the corset had to be tight. The tits had to be out. The hair had to be larger than life. The shoes are five, six inches. And what I say to the women out there, I'm like, girl, it's never too much. It's never too much. it's never too much if it's true to you if you're feeling yourself if you feel uncomfortable you want to wear you do you but never feel like you're doing too much I say if you're showing up to a party or an event overdressed I say everybody's underdressed because you live one life we live this life once this moment you and me that we're spending together like we're choosing to spend this time that will never come back so I appreciate you I appreciate you back and everyone else in this room thank you come on baby you have to listen to me talk we'll take it hey guys you ever sign up for a phone plan thinking wow what a great price and then a few months later it's like surprise your bill is higher we hate that with boost mobile you pay 25 a month forever that's unlimited talk text and data starting at just 25 a month there's no price hikes there's no contract and this is forever plus boost mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network.

1:12:48Hi, Bebe. I'm Joey from D.C. And first of all, I just want to say I'm a huge fan. I'm a huge Rexar. This live chat is for Rexars and bad bitches only. And I also wanted to say that All Your Fault, part one and two specifically got me through the worst ever first gay situationship of my life. It was this guy I met at community college, and it was this whole mess. And yeah, both of those EPs really got me through it. Specifically, Atmosphere, Small Doses, and then in part two, I got time. So I just want to say thank you for those two bodies of work. They really got me, and many gays through a lot of shit.

1:13:24But anyways, my question I wanted to leave for you today is, if you were to name the documentary of your life, what would it be named? that is a phenomenal question what was his name joey joey i might steal that question for the podcast not the whole long beginning but just wow what would the name of your documentary be that's a good question that's a tough i wish i would have prepared that one yeah that's a good one um but first of all how before we get to that how dope is that to hear i'm sure you hear it often from fans and you know but um it's funny because him telling not funny but it's beautiful like he's telling his story and like when he says atmosphere in small doses I know because I was going through a rough time at that period and then with I got time I had written on all your fault part two and it was like about um overthinking like time running out like like your clock your time like your clock running out and be like oh my god I'm not in a relationship everybody's getting married having kids and then it's just so beautiful to know that that could be his therapy too because I got time is like well like I got time you know I'll do what I want um I feel like hearing fan stories um especially when times get a little rough for me and like I've been in like bad situations in the industry it just kind of gives me more of a like that that fire purpose because without them you really are nothing honestly you not nothing but like you could have you can be happy but like the success is a lot of people forget that i think probably also it gives purpose to absolutely what you like to do or what you love to do already you know it gives a bigger purpose do you have a name for your documentary come on let's think about let's think about this let's think this through you're a creative you just wrote three songs while we were sitting here by the way i know but then i feel like people are gonna like hold this to me and i'm nervous oh okay okay well this is this is a raw and unfiltered they're gonna think it's something different.

There's so much that I don't want to speak about right now that happened that people would be... It would do a lot. It would be crazy. What do you mean? I'm not going to go into it right now. for good vibes. I don't want anything to overshadow me, but there's been moments that people would be like, what the hell? Will there be a documentary one day? I would love to. My mom's like, my mom said to me, she's like, you sign a lot of like NDAs and stuff like that.

1:16:05And she's like, I didn't. She's like, I witnessed it first. I was like, you are? Having your mom sign an NDA is crazy work, by the way. No, she didn't.

No. Okay, go. What do you pray for most? Oh. I love that. I always pray for health for my family and happiness. I'm always praying for that. Just because, you know, when I was younger, I had like a lot of really close people to me pass away from cancer. So that scared me from like a young, I was like 11.

God were to text you right now, what would it say? That's my favorite question. Really? That's my favorite question. I didn't even have to get to it.
