2026-06-03 KSR - Hour 2
The Jonas Brothers reveal they've launched their own podcast, Hey Jonas, as a playful rebellion against being constantly interviewed. The episode is a chaotic, genre-blending collage of sports talk, pop culture, and absurd humor, anchored by the hosts' signature banter. A standout moment is a heartfelt letter from an 83-year-old woman in Utah who printed Shannon's photo and hung it above her bed, calling him an 'inspiration to little boys'—a bizarre yet touching testament to the podcast's unexpected cultural reach. The hosts debate mundane but passionate topics like mixing bourbon with Coke, regifting presents, and reclining in airplane seats, revealing deep-seated opinions on social etiquette. Amid the silliness, a serious thread emerges: Drew contemplates going solo to the World Cup in Saudi Arabia, a decision that feels like a trap from his wife but also a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. The episode ultimately celebrates the joy of absurdity, connection, and the weird magic of being a public figure in a world where fans send money and hang your photo on their walls.
An 83-year-old woman in Utah printed Shannon's photo and hung it above her bed, calling him an 'inspiration to little boys'—a bizarre but touching fan gesture.
Mixing bourbon with Coke is fair game for cheap bourbon, but never for high-end bottles like Pappy Van Winkle.
Reclining in an airplane seat is foul if it hits the person behind you, but fair with a courteous glance before leaning back.
Returning grocery carts is a moral test—failing to do so is a 'special place in hell' offense.
Going to the World Cup alone in Saudi Arabia is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity worth the risk of marital fallout.
