• 0:57
  Speaker 1: We don't got the lighting guy anymore, so now we

  Speaker 1: just got to use the sun.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: We can only shoot in the daytime.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Look, it sounds like the economy is crunching.

  Speaker 2: It's affecting everyone, even Jason Derulo. No, I think you're

• 1:22
  Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to it, man.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: It's going to be pretty mad.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We love, we, you know, Australia loves, uh, Jason Derulo, man,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you have so many songs. I'm sorry. Sorry.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I say that like, you don't know, but like you
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: have so many songs, so many bangers. Like when you
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: put together, when you put together a set list, how
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: do you pick the good ones and like, make sure
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: like the fans get a taste of everything?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Um, I listen, man, you know, I think there's, you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: some artists out there that, uh, are so into what
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: they do and what they want to do that they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: curate a show that they want. But I really got
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to pay attention and listen to the audience and give
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the audience what they want.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: So I don't have one of those shows where you'll
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: come and be like, damn, I can't believe he didn't
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: play that joint. But although I can't play them all.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: When I said you have so many, like you, dare
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I say, you could do a Taylor Swift eras tour
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and you'd have to do two, you'd have to do
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: two nights just to do all the hits. Yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't go that crazy, but I think, I think
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Taylor be performing for like four hours.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Let's do it different.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, I think the most common comment is always, damn,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize I knew that many of your songs. Um,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But yes, it's been a long 15 years, man. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I've released quite a bit of material. And I think
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it's easy to kind of forget, you know, the songs
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: that I've released.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: So I saw Bruno Mars last week. He's got a
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: tour coming to Australia next year. I asked him a question,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: which I'm going to ask you, which is after 15
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: years and such a huge catalog of songs, what do
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you reckon is the best song you've ever written?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Um, I'm going to go to some songs that the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: world may not know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Um, so I think, uh, I, I'm really in love
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: with a song called if I'm lucky, um, that the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: average person might not know.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And I'm also really in love with a song called Cheyenne.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Oh my God. No, stop, stop.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: It's on my list as one of your all time best.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, so you know what? Smalls, I should have known, man.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: You know what's going on, bro.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I was going to joke and say, I think Spicy Margarita,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: but then I was going to come back and say Cheyenne.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But I am so glad you said that is such
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: a great pop song.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Thank you, man.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And, you know, ironically, we're just talking about Taylor, but
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that's actually Taylor's favorite song of mine. That's Michael Jordan's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: favorite song of mine as well. And it's my favorite
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: song of mine. And I thought it was going to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: be a smash hit. If I'm being honest.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: It was a hit.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: If Michael Jordan tells you it's his favorite song, who
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: gives a f * * * what anyone else thinks?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: He thinks it's a great song. Fads.
