Hello, this is Jack & Jack.
And you're watching
[soft clack]
[brushing]
[sizzling]
[buzzing]
Sshhh!
-We've been friends for a while. -It's true.
-What is it, 18 years? -18 years.
-Talking about 19 years. -Oh my gosh.
I think, uh... Should we dig in these bracelets?
Yeah, that's why we're friends.
I'm gonna make you a nice friendship bracelet.
Okay, well you were wearing a...
I think it was a blue cap shirt
and I was wearing a red cap shirt.
I think it was the opposite. It was the opposite.
Ah, we need to find a picture.
We always say that. We never find a picture.
But basically we were in the same Kindergarten class.
Shout out to Miss Dauphins. She was a phenomenal teacher.
Taught me a lot about myself.
Yeah, and Miss Braggi.
And Miss Braggi. She was sick.
And uh... I don't know what it was.
I think because we had the same name, we hit it off.
[chuckles]
I'm really struggling with this package.
Ooohh, that's gonna sound sick.
-We got... -What do we got?
-Is this bracelet? -That's the pink one.
You gotta untie it.
So basically, yeah, we met in, what? 2001?
2001.
-Yes, and uh... -Now it's 2019.
We've been best friends ever since. Simple as that.
It's important to have a friend for a long time.
It's important that you have a friend
to make friendship bracelets with,
to, uh, you know, signify your friendship.
I want this.
I haven't done a project in so long.
Wait. Do can I make it a friendship necklace?
-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah?
Some might call my necklace "girly" or "feminine",
but listen, here at Jack & Jack we like to break gender rules
and we don't think about that stuff.
[laughs]
Oh, we have this too!
Yeah!
These are nice.
Very nice titanium steel.
You ready?
[pattering]
[both exhale, chuckle]
Sending shivers down my spine.
Everybody likes stars, right?
What is this? An ice cream pop?
Who t-- who take a bite out of an ice cream pop?
You gotta suck on that s--t.
Yeah, what? That's weird.
Don't do this.
-Our new project -Yes.
is actually called
Yes, because a good friend is nice.
It's just the truth.
He's nice to me, I'm nice to him.
So the first song we made on this project,
uh, it was called "2 Cigarettes".
Yes. And quite fittingly,
we have two cigarettes.
Some might think that because
we have a song called "2 Cigarettes",
we smoke cigarettes, but--
It couldn't be further from the truth. And, uh...
And now we're gonna rip these cigarettes.
Yeah, we're gonna rip these up. We don't like smoking.
We hate them.
Ooh...
Two less cigarettes in the world makes this world a better place.
The next song that we made was actually
this song called "Tension".
-It's true. -Yeah.
And, uh, so we have this thing here.
-You know what this is? -It's a wrench.
I think it alleviates tension.
It could alleviate tension. It could do both.
Depending on which way you rotate it, I think.
But uh...
Oohhhh.
[clinking]
-Do it. Do you have nails? -I don't have nails either,
but I have the backside of nails.
[tapping]
JACK G: Oh, that's a good one.
[tapping]
So yes, this wrench is for tension.
Yes, this song is about after you leave someone
and it doesn't end the way you want it to.
There's tension.
One of my personal favorite songs on this project
is definitely "April Gloom", right?
That's a fact.
It's got a very melancholy kind of vibe.
Very reminiscent about life and, you know,
sometimes you don't know when brighter days are coming.
Yeah, it's just about that lingering feeling
that you sometimes get in the back of your head
when you don't know what life has in store for you.
We got this spray jawn right here.
Yes.
And this aquarium. And now we're gonna water it.
So this song called "April Gloom"--
what's the phrase?
"April showers bring May flowers"?
Exactly.
-You wanna spray this? -Yeah, can I do it?
Yeah, of course.
[both chuckle]
I think it's time to talk about, you know,
the focus track on the project.
Exactly.
This song came out before any song on the project.
This single-- well, I guess...
But for this specific song,
we have something that can't be replaced.
-[chuckles] -Even if you tried.
This song is called "No One Compares To You"
and because we're in New York,
we thought we'd pick the one thing
that no one can compare to.
In terms of New York.
-And that is... -That is...
Pizza.
New York is known for having uncomparable pizza.
Oooh!
I'm petting my pizza right now.
Cheers.
Wait, that's actually a really nice sound.
[scraping]
Cheers. I'm doing it.
[crunch]
[crunching, chewing]
Mmm.
And the price was right.
I'm pretty sure it's a couple of hours old.
Still better than any other state's pizza.
No one compares to New York in terms of pizza.
[chewing loudly]
It's delicious.
[chewing loudly]
Does your mom know you chew like that?
I don't normally chew like that.
I do.
But I think there's a group of people who will enjoy it.
This next track we're gonna talk about
is a track called "Pose"
and this song's all about--
It's a banger, first of all.
It's a banger of course. That goes without saying
because, you know, it goes hard.
But this song has to do with, you know,
sometimes when you go to a city like Los Angeles
and you're from a place like the Midwest
like G and I are,
it's kind of like a shock. It's kind of a culture shock.
It's a very different city, you know?
I think there's less--
there's less of a sense of community,
there's less sense of being part of something.
In a place like Los Angeles, it feels very disconnected,
and so we've definitely noticed
whenever we go out to the clubs there,
you see the same people there every single time.
It's like the same group of people that are all the same.
The one thing that keeps me going
is just going out every night
and not getting caught up in the night life and...
-The clout. -Yeah, exactly.
So we wrote this song about a girl
that is a very sweet girl.
She kinda gets caught up in Los Angeles.
She gets caught up, she's from the Midwest.
And basically all her friends are drinking every single night
and they're popping pills.
And she feels like she has to do the same things to fit in
when in reality, the one way to stand out
is to not do that.
I think there was a phase even in our lives
where we felt we needed validation from the scene.
-Of course. -Which you don't.
So for "Pose" we rightfully have...
-A Polaroid camera. -Yeah.
Should we open it?
Ready? See that tab?
JACK J: It was a little loud.
-Teamwork. -Very good teamwork.
Now...
[clicking]
JACK G: Oh!
Take your time.
There it is, there it is. Alright.
So wait, what is this?
-You want me to take one of you? -Yeah.
Alright, get your pizza. Yeah, get your slice out.
You know...
Let me get my slice.
So, living on a bus. Yeah, we've been on tour
for pretty much 2 of the last 3 months.
Yes. We went home for about 2 weeks.
In-between Europe and the US.
People always wonder, you know, what is tour life like?
And to be honest, a lot of it is just sitting around.
We had never seen
so we binge-watched every single episode.
That's pretty much all we do.
You know, we play Xbox a little bit.
Some Fortnite, some FIFA.
And then also we sleep from about 5am to 3pm every night.
I wish we took buses like this to school back in the day.
Yes, that would be amazing.
You could run over anything.
Man, this ASMR stuff was kinda fun.
We're gonna have to definitely do this more
-in our own time. -Yeah.
I hope we can come back to Fuse. Thanks for having us.
-This was Mind Massage. -We are Jack & Jack.
See you soon.
Sshhh!
