Today we have, normally I would have the guest introduce themselves, but I feel like I've been playing your name in my head all day and I feel like I could do it. - Okay, you wanna give it a shot or? - Yeah, and then can you do it after? - Let's see how you do. - Okay. Jason Rillo. Is that good? Okay, you don't have to answer that if it's, yeah. Okay, you can do it then. - No, I'm not gonna do it. I mean, I'm not gonna follow that. - 'Cause it was so good? - Yeah.

So good. That's the first time somebody's done that, like saying my name to me. That's the first time? I don't believe that. Super original. Okay, now I get what you're doing. I know it's kind of rude. What are you wearing today? Did you cut your shirt yourself? You think I cut this myself? It looks like you could have, perhaps. No, I didn't cut this myself. Did you spend a lot of money for someone else to cut that? I wouldn't say a lot of money. It's a t-shirt. How much? I'll be the judge of that.

I don't know, like a hundred bucks. That's a lot of money for a t-shirt that looks like you could have cut it yourself. Okay, now that's rude. Look at the foot that we're getting started on. Yeah. If you want to pay me a couple hundred dollars, I'll cut up some t-shirts for you. If you can do it this good, absolutely. I don't know if that's this good or anything spectacular.

Yeah, because it's like it's designer. So like it took time. What designer? I don't know, but I'm sure it is. Do you not buy your clothes? No, not usually. Who buys them for you? Somebody that goes out. Do you pick them out from your closet? Yeah, I picked this out today. I was like, this would be a good shirt to wear today. I was just wondering if you have someone who's like, here's your shirt for today. Yeah, a lot of days like I'll get like.

different options like laid out you know but they're not like pick an option okay yeah hard work but look this is there's like um special specs on it like you're gonna have to like you just flick some paint at it you probably just take the brush and go like yeah that's nice yeah thank you you had your son write some words on your pants yeah i guess i could get a

cheaper team to do my clothes. I agree. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I like your shoes. I like your clothes as well. Thank you. Really, really cool pants. Thank you. I actually agree with you. I don't feel like you're saying that to be nice. No, no, no. I really like, I mean, my grandmother used to wear those kind of pants, so they sent them in a place in my heart. That's great. Thank you for comparing me to your grandmother. No. Okay. Well, I guess we're even now, Jason. Yeah. So you're not going to sing your name for me. Mm-mm.

Have you ever sang your name for people just casually? No. Yeah, you have. A little party trick. If somebody doesn't know who you are when you're walking in somewhere, do you ever just sing it? Bust it out? I feel like you're singing it in your head right now and you want to. You're holding back. It's playing in your head right now. Is it? It actually was. I knew that. I knew it. And you were thinking about it, but then you stopped. Only because you mentioned me walking into a room doing it. So, of course, I pictured that in my mind, but...

And it's playing in your head right now and you're thinking about, hey, I could do it. But you're trying to figure out if that'd be funny if you did it or if it would just be bad. No, I'm definitely not thinking about doing it now. You are. I'm so not. A little bit. There's 1% of your brain that keeps going to the place that you're like, I could sing it. No. I'm thinking about a lot of things, but I'm not. What are you thinking about? I'm thinking about other things that I could be doing. You giving yourself a massage? Yeah, that's what I do when I'm like. Okay. Just wondering. Relaxing.

I mean, we're in a sauna right now. That's true. Should we turn it on? No. Okay. Just wondering. If you wanted to, I could probably do that. It looks like there's a little thing right there that says. Yeah, but I don't think that's a good idea. Okay. Well, you said it, not me. So I looked up some stuff before you got here because you were late today. And I had time to do some research. Uh-oh.

And a lot of it, I was like, that's not interesting. But there was one thing that came up on every single thing and I feel like it's interesting. - Okay, please share with me. I'm so curious what's interesting about me. - You really like canned tuna. Why is that on every single thing about you? - I don't know, 'cause actually I don't like canned tuna, but I did do like a diet where I ate a lot of tuna. - Canned tuna? - Mm-hmm. - You don't do that anymore?

No, it was a thing that I started in college and, you know, canned tuna is very cheap. I also used to eat bananas, like four bananas a day because they only cost a quarter each. And don't do that, though. Makes you constipated. But I used to eat four bananas and a canned tuna. And like that was like the bulk of my diet. Sounds disgusting. It was pretty bad, but I was shredded, though. At what cost? I don't think it was worth it.

Nah, it was worth it, I think. But what do you eat now? When I'm eating. When you're eating? What does that mean? Because I do intermittent fasting. So some days I don't eat at all. So like I don't eat on Fridays. It sucks. Is it a Friday? No, it's not. It's Wednesday. Well, good for you. Luckily, it's not Friday. I don't think that's necessary. I feel like you could eat on a Friday if you wanted to and you'd probably still look the same. Thank you. I don't know if that was a compliment, but...

It was something. Well, um. Did your name tattooed on you? No. Okay. Yeah. I mean, kind of. What does that say? King Derulo. Of course it does. My son's name is King. Okay, fine. I'll let it go. I thought you were calling yourself that. Nah, I don't know. That's okay then. That's actually kind of cute. Thank you. I have my kids on my arm. Really? Yes. It's them right there. Is that a...

- Sticky tattoo. - What do you mean? - Like-- - It's real.

Download the free Angie mobile app today or visit Angie.com. That's A-N-G-I dot com. That doesn't look very real. It is. It's like the single needle tattoo.

I feel like I could have done that on like, what was that thing people used to use? Like Microsoft Word, like the word art. Just like King Drillo. I could have done that better. Yeah. I also feel like with all your other tattoos, that doesn't really go. The shadow behind it. I was going to do more of these, like more of these. But just not Jason on this one. Are you waiting until you have more kids and then you're going to? Yeah. Yeah.

You can only have one more kid then. I like this one because I'm dark skinned. Being dark skinned, you know, some of my tattoos don't show and it's my biggest pet peeve when people are like, what's that? I hate that. I did that to that one. So I apologize. It's because the way the light is shining on it, you probably, it was a glare. I can only make out the ulo.

There's oh yeah, cuz you didn't see this you have a whole other half of you know, this is this is clear Okay, but like it's not nice to go up to somebody and look at their tattoo and be like, oh What's that? I feel like you did that kind of you like really came in close No, no, I can see what it is. It's just it looks like a

you put it on like stuck. - I know. - The tattoo on it. - What's that called? Like a temporary tattoo? Is that what that's called? - That is, all jokes aside, that's a sticky tattoo, right? - No, it's not. What do you mean? All jokes are not, this is, they're aside right now. This is a tattoo of my kids. - So is it supposed to go away? - No.

It doesn't go away? Does it look like it's going away? It does. Okay, well, then I'll get a new one. It looks like you had it since before you had your kids. And you're like, this is what my kids are going to look like. Thank you. Why were you so late today? Are you normally late everywhere you go? Or is that just a special occasion because you don't really want to do this? And you're like, I guess I'll just come late. How far do you live from here? The irony of it is I didn't even know that I was late.

So this is news to me. What time did you think you were supposed to be here? I didn't think. What are your plans for the rest of the day? I'm probably going to spend some time with my son, go to the studio at like 10 p.m. I was told you have a hard hour at 1 p.m. Oh, yeah. I've never been told that before by someone. And that's like in four minutes. We just started. Oh, because I have other...

Go ahead and make up another plan right now. I'll give you time to think too, but make it good. Nah, I have. No, I'm going on tour. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, not today. I'm sure you are. No, I'm going on tour. So I'm doing interviews now.

- Oh. - To promote my tour. - So you have another interview after this? - Yeah, like several. - What time? - I'm not sure. But if they said I gotta be out, then I probably could be out. - That's not very funny, Jason. Torillo. - It was funny because you were like, "What do you have to do after this?" And I was like, "I gotta go on tour." But that's not what I meant, obviously. - That is what you meant. You're trying to lie and you're not very good at it. Do you always take your son with you everywhere?

on my days that I'm with him, yeah. - You do? Does he enjoy going to work with you? - I think he really does. He loves going to the studio with me. - That's cool. When are you gonna make him start working? - I think it's time. - Yeah, I saw you started when you were eight. - Mm-hmm, yeah. I started really young, so yeah, you gotta get to it. He has a lot of activities. Like I took him to gymnastics yesterday

Today he has swimming lessons today actually. - Can he swim? - He's getting pretty good. - My daughter doesn't know how to swim. - No, you should probably give her some lessons. - She's afraid of the water. - Yeah, but she should probably like-- - What, should I just throw her in there against her will? - That's what my dad did to me. - He did, my dad did that to me too. - Yeah, see, I turned out all right. - You don't have to finish that sentence. - Maybe you shouldn't throw her. - I won't.

Won't be doing that. How'd you get your son to go in a pool? I said, do you want to go in the pool? Okay. Thank you for that. So you're starting a podcast. Oh, um, did you forget? Kind of. What does that mean? I mean, it's called a podcast because that's where it lives, like in the podcast world, but it's not like me interviewing people. So what are you going to be doing?

So I'm doing, I make music for a living. Okay. That's cool. And I haven't put out an album for a very long time. No one, no one's worried about that. So if you don't want to do anything, you don't have to. Just letting you know, if you were worried, I am here to tell you. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. So for the people that are worried about the album. Just your son, probably. Maybe your team. So...

So for my son, I wanted to create an album that would literally change the way that people listen to albums. So when I'm on a treadmill, I like watching Netflix, something other than only just listening to music.

What if I created a cinematic experience where people would have another option and not just have to listen to like a normal kind of album? So I teamed up with the creators of Twilight and some amazing actors and actresses to create this podcast that is a romantic thriller. And then my music is the backdrop for that. Why didn't you ask me? To be in it? Yeah. Can you act? Mm-hmm.

- Can you do something for me right now? - No. - Okay. - You wouldn't sing your name? You sing your name and I'll act. - I wanna see you act so bad that I'm gonna sing my name right now. - You've even cleared your throat for him. - Are you gonna be able to act? - What do you want me to do? - It's your audition, so I want you to like, whatever's on your heart. - I feel like normally you would give, if you're the director, you'd be like, here's the role. - I'm actually not the director. - Okay, so then just Jason, what do you want me to do?

I want you to act like there are some robbers that just came within a restaurant and you were just having some dinner with some guy that you really, really, really like. He's a really handsome guy. The robbers come in. How would you react? Casing their name. Jason Derulo. Oh my God. That was interesting. You really like put your whole heart and soul into that.

I actually didn't, but... You did. Don't lie. I'm glad that it sounded that... It wasn't good. It just sounded like you tried really hard. All right. So robbers, they're attacking, they're chasing me. I'm so looking forward to this right now. Okay. The robbers are chasing me. And what? The robbers are not chasing you. They come into the restaurant. Oh, God. Okay. Well, I've thought about this a lot. Okay. Okay.

In my life. I'm afraid of the happening. So let me channel that fear. I would, I would imagine. Can you pretend to? Yeah. I'll be the handsome guy. Okay. I don't know about that, but we'll just pretend just for the sake of there's no other people around here right now. Um, you don't find me attractive. Should I rate you like one out of 10? Yeah. What would you rate yourself? One out of 10? Yeah.

I mean, I wouldn't normally rate myself. I know you've thought of that. Again, don't lie. You've thought of that. Like what I am out of one to ten? I've never thought I am. You just assume you're ten. Because you sing your name to people. I don't sing my name to people. You just did. You made me. And I'm going to cut out all the parts where I asked you so that it looks like I said, what's your name? And then you sang...

Your name. Wow. Okay. So now you sing me your name. I'm also going to take the footage that you give me when you act, when you try to act. And I'm going to say, I'm going to tell people that you auditioned for my podcast and I turned you down. Okay. Well, that's rude. You're going to wish you had me on there when I'm a big name in Hollywood. As soon as you do your monologue.

I can't promise it's going to be very good, but you're still going to wish you had me in there. At one to 10, what would you rate yourself? You kind of ignored that. If you need to know the numbers between one through 10, I can help you out there. Sounds like you have me. What's the criteria though? Is it just looks or is it like the complete package? Looks. Looks. Let's give myself a solid nine.

- It's really high. - Is it? - What do you think? There's one through 10, 10, there's one less than 10. - Then what's average? - You went to college and I didn't. You should be able to answer that. - Is that five? Is five average? - What do you think? - I personally think like six is an average. When you're talking about-- - There's a five, yes, five is average, right? Yes, five is average. - Middle of the road. - It's the middle. - So definitely not that. - Okay. - Right? - Okay.

- So go up. - This is your opinion, not mine. - Go up one. - That's six. - That's six. - You think so? Now we have 10 people. - Look, this is not, I mean, it's not really my opinion. - So people told you you were a nine? - I mean, based, I don't know how to base it. I don't know how to like make this sound okay. Okay, does eight sound better? - Yeah, actually. If you said an eight, I'd be like, okay, he's a little humble. Nine is just like, that's still an A.

Eight is a B. Eight is a B, but what's an eight? I think, yeah. Yeah, okay. Eight. All right. That sounds better. Okay. Now, are you going to rate me a one out of ten? Oh, God. I didn't think about that. I don't want to hurt your feelings. That face. That already hurt my feelings, that face. Okay. I didn't mean for that to be what happened. I'm going to give you like a, we can use halves too, a little bit. So maybe like a seven and a half. Seven and a half.

Oh, okay. Yeah. You know, I was in people's magazines, sexiest man, like seven times. Seven times? Five times. I exaggerated a little bit because you hurt my feelings. You did. But then you realize that's pretty easily fact checkable. Yeah, you can like go look it up.

Yeah, you shouldn't do that when you're a big name. So I'm going to, I'm going to, yeah. I don't know why they did that. I'm probably going to be sexiest woman alive. I think so. I don't think so. I know you were just saying that to be nice, but that's okay actually. No, I honestly think that your pants are endearing. Yeah, sexiest grandma alive. Yeah, I'll take it. No, not even that. Okay.

Yeah. One day, one day. Well, we're two unattractive people on a date right now and you kind of did that to me. So I have to, sorry. Two unattractive people on a date right now. Robbers come in. Can you act? Yes. Do you watch your own movie? I was going to say movies, but then I realized you've probably only ever been in one. I've been in two. Okay. So do you watch your own movies? What other movie?

I was in a movie called Spinning Gold. I've really never heard of that. That's not right. Yeah. Yeah. I can hear the drinks moving around. I think that's your coke. You're just not going to respond to me? No, I thought I was responding. I was thinking it. This is great. Go ahead. You can dance? Yeah. I like dancing. Can you dance? Absolutely not.

I've seen a video of you dancing. Okay, that was not, you're not supposed to see that. I thought I deleted that. Yeah, I saw it on your TikTok page. Yeah, I know. I don't dance. I was doing research on YouTube. Oh, thank you. You didn't have to do that. Your videos are like really interesting. Interesting, that's a good word. Please don't use it to describe my videos though. Your videos are too. I don't follow you, but I do see you on my For You page more than I'd like. Okay.

- That's cool. - I don't even remember actually. I feel like it's been a minute since I've seen you there, but you used to be on my For You page. - Are you not entertained by my videos? - I don't remember. It's been a while. I didn't like follow you because I was under-- - Do you follow a lot of people? - No. - You should try following me. You might like it. - Are you gonna follow me back? - Sure. - Okay, well, I will only follow you if you follow me back. - Okay. Deal. - Deal. On Instagram too. Okay.

Sorry, I didn't know that was like a exclusive place. I've never even seen your Instagram account. It's there. Okay. Well, I won't be following you on there then. I actually haven't seen your Instagram account either. I didn't know you had an Instagram. Do you have Instagram? No. Do you have YouTube? Of course I have YouTube. Where do you think this video is going to go? I thought it was going to disappear, hopefully. Nobody will be able to find it. That would be unfortunate. Yeah.

Would it? It would be. You coerced me into singing my name and didn't even do the monologue. I'll do it. Do I have a script? No, you gotta come off the cuff. Okay. Freestyle. Okay. Okay, we're pretending we're on a date. Okay. Hi, what will you be ordering, Jason?

Sorry I was late today. - I'm feeling like a little steak. - Okay, me too. - Yeah. - How are you gonna have yours cooked? - I like medium, just medium actually. How about you? - Medium well. - Yeah? - Yeah. - Okay. - Or well done. - What's your drink of choice? - I'll have a Coke. - Any alcohol you wanna put in it? Like a spirit, you wanna put some vodka in there, a little tequila, a little-- - No.

How about a wine? You wanted some red wine? Fine, I'll have some, the sweetest wine they have. Okay, let's do a, how about a Moscato? That's a great idea. Thank you. Later, you can grab that for us. Thank you very much. Oh my God, there's a burglar. He's coming in right now. Is that good? Oh, now we still, is it over? Did I fail? You can be brutally honest right now. I won't get offended, whatever you say. Oh.

That wasn't there. Oh, wow. Thank you. Are you going to cast me? You'll get back to me? Not for this one. Oh, you could have said that's the nice answer. This one is already like done. Okay. But we'll keep you in mind for the next one for sure. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah. Especially like the ending where you're, the scream. Thank you. I have one last thing because you're probably...

getting, it's probably been like a four minute podcast and you're probably going to make it. So I can't even use this video by how quick you're making it. Um, cause people are walking around out there. It feels like we're getting the signal. Your people, you probably sent them a signal. Did you do that? Did you have a thing? Like, Oh, if I put my arm up here, come rescue me. No, I was just getting really relaxed. Finally. I feel like

You started to open up. And then you told them. And when I say these words after it, it means you better really get things wrapped up. No, no, no. Okay. Actually, this is the most I've ever seen you speak. I'm going to stop talking now. I feel like we got somewhere in this. Okay. Can I tell you something else? Yeah. I don't even know how this happened, but when... Same. Yeah. It's fun. Sorry. Sorry.

You can say sorry too. Sorry. Okay. Yeah. It's okay. So yesterday I was in Home Depot and I was shopping with my friend assistant. She's outside right there. We were shopping. She gets an email. You can just say it's your friend. I know. But then it sounds less professional because I like also like to take her everywhere with me. So it's like she's in assistant mode right now and then we'll leave and we'll be in friend mode again. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah.

It's a fun job. We're in Home Depot. She was on assistant mode because she was answering emails, I guess. But she got an email from your team. And it was like, here's the stuff about Jason. Maybe it's to make you speak more about business. Do you want me to do that right now? I don't know. I mean, can you? Yeah, sure. If that's what you'd like.

Business. Man. He's going away. He's moving away from Jason Derulo. He's moving into like Jason Derulo. Yeah? Just Derulo. Okay. Yeah. So Derulo is here today. One name. Just one name. One name. Okay. Speak business.

I'm really into business. Are you? This podcast actually almost started out as like a business podcast. So it's actually cool to have you here. Really? I'm like sweating, by the way. Are you hot in here? I did get pretty hot. I feel like someone turned it on. That was your team. They're trying to wrap this up. No, business wise. I mean, like for me, I love creating things from nothing. So just like making music, just like...

building houses. I love just-- - You build houses? - Yeah. - Like by yourself? Or you hire people? - I hire people, but-- - Okay, well that's not really building from nothing. - Well, it's my idea. - Okay, yeah. - Like the things are like my idea. - Yeah, if I could afford to build a house from nothing, I would too. - But you have to like-- - Yeah, I know, I have had ideas. - Have the ideas. - That's great. Money and ideas go all together. - Have you ever built a house? - No.

Do you know anybody that builds houses? Yeah, my dad built our house. With his own two hands? Yes, because he had the idea and he knows how to do that. But I want to talk business with you. Okay. Yeah, I have a lot of businesses. Can you name one that I would know? Rocket Car Wash. Like you actually own a car wash? It's an entire, it's a lot of car washes. You own car washes? Yeah. Why? Why?

Because we need car washes. That's so random. It's like a subscription model, so you have to pay a membership. Are they in LA? We don't have any in LA, no. Where are they? All across the country, though. LA is a pretty big place to not... Yeah. Eventually, we hope to be in Los Angeles. Okay. Well, I am telling you that you should put one here because my car is kind of dirty. Do you think we can...

You think we can just give you free car washes? No. I was going to pay. We'll give you free car washes. Thank you. If you use code Bobby when you get there, you can get a free car wash. No? Your team is really getting you out of here right now.

They hate this for you. You really have to go. I'm sorry. I knew you. I told you that's what you were doing. I wasn't. Okay, well, I'm actually happy he opened that door because it's actually really hot in here. Yeah, well, Jason, I feel like this got nothing. This was kind of... I feel like we got somewhere. I feel like you really opened up today in a way that I've never seen you open up. Thank you. I feel like...

your team really opened up the door in a way that I've never seen anybody do before. And I didn't like that. And we just know who calls the shots in your life. It's not you, Jason. So have a good day. Thank you. You're not welcome. This couldn't have ended worse. This is amazing. Yeah. Go take your coke and skedaddle. Get out of here. Your team is literally waiting. They're going to fire you.

They'll fire you. The looks they're giving right now feels very like you're going to be in trouble. So do you think this is a good way to end the interview? No. What's a good way to end the interview? I don't know. It's not abruptly having your team say that it's going to end right now. When you were like 45 minutes late. Who was 45 minutes late? You probably. You're supposed to be here at 12. It's 1.20.

I do feel like that's how late you are today. No way. It's okay. But maybe I'll see you. Follow me back on Instagram and then I can. I'll follow you on TikTok. It's really offensive. Why? Because no one cares about who follows you on TikTok. It's fine. Really? Yeah. What do you mean? I only follow like six people. Okay, fine. I'll take that then. That's pretty exciting. All right, guys. Jason's leaving now. Right. Bye, guys. He can go. Thank you. Thank you for coming.

Yeah. Don't spill coke on me now. Thank you. Angie has made it easier than ever to connect with skilled professionals to get all your jobs projects done well.
