Radio Days [Flashback]

This post is not so much a flashback as it is an examination of the evolving fame of the Guys and how (thankfully) they have remained their own awesome selves. I got the idea from coolmom after she commented on the last radio post I did. Thanks for the idea, coolmom!

The JB have done some great radio interviews, some of which we have shared with you, but they seem to have a special relationship with Johnjay and Rich. Theirs was the first Top 40 morning radio show who featured the Jonas Brothers and the Boys have been loyal ever since. They got to jam on stage with the Boys in July 2007, go backstage at The Best of Both Worlds Tour, and were the go-to-guys to make the free acoustic show in Tuscon in January 2008 happen. Johnjay and Rich were also given the Top 40 radio premiere of Burnin’ Up.

But their relationship is not just about quid pro quo (I am sure that JohnJay and Rich have picked up some loyal listeners and the Guys were exposed to a huge market). There is an ease in their interactions that has generated some priceless Jonas moments.

It sure doesn’t hurt that Kevin, Joe, and Nick have such generous personalities that make them a joy to pay attention to always, but these interviews are special, candid, and fun.

Enjoy all of the Johnjay and Rich interviews with the Boys to date (minus one from mid-January I couldn’t find – if you know where it is, post in the comments!) after the jump, plus a super awesome bonus interview with Mama J.

July 17, 2007

This is the first time the Guys were on the Johnjay and Rich show and it is clear how quickly the crew becomes entirely won over by them. They talk about music, their career, fans and play 2.25 songs (they play SOS, Year 3000 and the first verse of Kids of the Future). We also hear the debut of the Jonas Brothers montage which will continue to evolve as they continue to appear on the show.

Their second time on Johnjay and Rich (obviously, so I will stop pointing that out). A phone interview with Nick and Kevin from “places unknown” where Joe is apparently filming something “they can not talk about.” They do talk about how they are coming to Phooson. There is a little bit of rehashing like about Joe being from Arizona, but it is fun to listen to. Notice how the Jonas Brothers montage now includes SOS.

Part 1

Another in-studio interview from the day of Phooson.  This one is fun from beginning to end and they are all talking at once.

Johnjay and Rich also perform Year 3000 with a little help from the Boys.
