-You've been here before, and then, about a month ago,
we went out and we did "Day Drinking" together.
-That was something else. [ Cheers and applause ]
-You and your brothers, me and my brother,
our friend in common, Jack McBrayer.
-Yep.
-Was it what you expected, as far as how much we drank?
-No. We have a bone to pick. -Yeah, okay.
-And that bone to pick is that that [bleep] is real.
-Yeah. -That is no joke.
Oh, we're on TV. I can't say that.
-Yeah. -Well, it was something else.
-Yeah, we drank a lot in two hours.
-And we drank a lot.
And I had a meeting directly following this.
-Oh, you can't do a meeting.
-Because I assumed that this would be, like, fake,
fake TV drinking.
But, you know, I will say, I think you and I held our own.
-We drank the most, yeah. -Well, yeah.
-Yeah. We did drink the most. -We did. We drank a lot.
-I felt the worst -- And your brother Kevin
received the most shaming.
-He did.
-Because he has two children and he drinks the least.
-He drinks the least.
-I have two children and I did fine.
-You did fine. -Yeah.
Kevin tried really hard. -He did.
-Jack tried. -Yeah, Jack tried really hard.
-Sweet, sweet Jack. -Yeah, sweet, sweet Jack.
He did his best.
-But, all in all, it was a really great memory,
what can I remember of it.
-Well, that's why it's nice that it's committed to film.
Although, I always dread when I see the first cut of it,
'cause I don't have any memory of it either.
One thing that I was very impressed with is --
we drew song titles that we did not see in advance
and then were told to give five minutes to write a song.
You guys wrote a very good song in five minutes.
It was disheartening.
-It was a really scandalous song.
-It was a scandalous song.
-It was, "Hey, Mom, Dad, yeah, we did this day-drinking thing.
Maybe don't watch the song portion."
-Yeah. -No, it was cool.
-It was a beautiful song.
I will say it's the most beautiful song
I've ever heard that has a line about 69ing.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Leave it to the Jonas brothers to write a song about 69.
-Yeah, I feel like it doesn't get enough
shout-outs in romance songs.
-We should add it to the set. -Add it to the set, for sure.
-Right net to all the "Camp Rock" songs.
-Yeah, exactly. [ Cheers and applause ]
Now, I knew that you -- You had not gone to college.
Obviously, it made sense. You had a lot going on.
-Thank you for reminding me. -Yeah.
But I didn't realize that you went and looked at one,
which was my alma mater.
You went to Northwestern.
-You went to Northwestern? -I did, yeah.
-Amazing.
-Yeah, and you went on the campus tour.
-I did. I went back in 2008 or '09.
We were on tour. -Yeah.
-We stopped in Chicago.
And I had a dream of going to college to study being a writer,
a journalist, something.
And I went with my dad to visit the campus,
and it turned into kind of like a scene from "Hard Days Night."
-Because you were very well-known at that point.
-At that point, yeah, it was very difficult.
-Maybe a little too late to be normal at college.
Yeah. -Perhaps.
-Yeah.
-But the real dream was try to try to walk on to
the baseball team and play.
-Wow!
-Which I know we share sports in common.
-Yes. But you actually had -- Do you actually have skills,
do you think, to have played college baseball?
No, I'm impressed. -That was the most polite way --
-Yeah. And, now, why did you think that?
-"Are you talented?"
I, at that point, played a lot of baseball.
I probably didn't have the size then
to play and be competitive.
But I always loved it, and then, because I loved it,
I kept it up and we got really into slow-pitch softball.
-Okay, gotcha.
-It's like baseball, but it's slow.
-Yeah.
-And for, you know, untalented people.
-You have been on "The Voice" before,
but this is your first year in the chair.
-Yeah. -And this is a bigger deal.
When you first got this offer to do a full season in the chair,
your wife -- very excited.
-Oh, she's a big fan of the show
and has been for a long time.
And, so, she was there with me when I got the call.
And, you know, it was kind of a conversation
that had started with NBC after "Songland,"
which was such a great experience for us,
working with Ryan Tedder.
And for those that haven't seen the show,
it's one of my favorite shows on TV.
And after we did that show, they then called and said,
"We'd like to talk to you about 'The Voice.'"
And she flipped out.
And she came to set and she saw the chair.
I'll say that when I saw the chair, too,
there's something that happened.
I got a little, you know, sort of goose-bump moment
as I looked at it.
It's really cool.
I mean, you look to your left and your right,
it's John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Blake.
And kind of a dream to be in that spot,
and I feel very honored.
I mean, I have a heart full of gratitude,
especially since it's now aired.
And my team is awesome.
-Now, I know I you can't -- [ Cheers and applause ]
Now, you've shot some. -Yeah.
-So, even you now don't know how it's going to end,
'cause, obviously, we have live shows to find that out.
But do you feel -- How is your confidence?
-I feel very, very good. And I'm not just saying that.
-Gotcha.
-The way that things have shaken out -- And it is pretty cool.
I feel like the cast of "Game of Thrones," perhaps,
but with way less blood and --
-Yeah, lower stakes. Yeah. -Yeah, lower stakes.
-You just finished up a tour, yes?
-Yes. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Very exciting.
April, you are going to be -- You start a residency,
a month-long residency in Las Vegas.
-Yes. -Are you excited?
-We are so excited.
We kind of -- You know, we're viewing this in a way --
Because this last year has been one of the most
remarkable years of all of our lives.
Just to be able to reconnect as family.
We talked about it a bit day-drinking,
but it was sort of a drunken conversation.
-Yeah, I don't remember any of that. Yeah.
-To reconnect this family and then to have
the music connect in the way it has with our amazing fans,
who stuck by us through the time we needed apart,
is really special.
And then, you know, to do this 90-something-stop
tour across the world was really special.
But to then kind of view this as a bit of a final hoorah
for this era, the "Happiness Begins" era,
is really special.
So if you're going to be in Vegas,
we could day-drink again or whatever.
-Day-gamble? -Day-gamble.
But we're real excited to put on an amazing show
for our fans out there in Vegas.
-It's been a really cool thing that's happened,
I feel like, in the last decade-plus of, you know,
sort of younger musicians in the, like,
sort of peak of their career, going out to Vegas
and making it possible for people from all over
to see them, which I think is really cool.
-Exactly. Yeah, we're very excited.
It should be fun. -That's great.
Good luck on "The Voice." I'm rooting for you.
-Thank you.
-And it's always great to see you.
Thanks so much for being here. -Good to see you.
-That's Nick Jonas, everybody.
