And now, as we said before, Friday's live coming back to New Zealand, which is going to be incredible. We've got a double pass to give away on 0800THEHITS. You can get all your details at the hits.co.nz. Boyz II Men, Kelly Rowland, Flo Rida, and Jason Derulo, just some of the many amazing artists going to be performing. And we were lucky enough to catch up with him over Zoom, and he was sitting there looking fantastic in his singlet.

Damn, you're looking bloody good in that singlet, bro. Thanks, brother. I'd take my top off, but it would be too white. It would be too white for the camera. I'd blow it out. It'd be like a white balance, wouldn't it? With your phones on, or flash, or whatever it is. Hey, well, first, a lot to talk about, but the latest single,

When Love Sucks, featuring Dido as well. Pretty awesome. You've got the sort of throwback Eminem sample as well. It's very, very cool. But although I say it's cool, and maybe I've made it uncool by saying it was cool. Nah, man. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'm excited about that one as well.

You know, Dido obviously is incredible. And I thought about who would be able to sing that chorus. And I was like, damn, I should just hit Dido up and, you know, see if she would do it. And thankfully, I was able to get her on. I just think she's fantastic and sounds as brilliant today as she did when she originally did Thank You. Well, speaking of sampling songs, during lockdown, you sampled a song from a very young New Zealander who made a song for Savage Love. He made the track for it and you sampled a song from a very young new zealander who made a song for savage love he made the track for it and you sampled it and it was all this crazy time in the world yeah the video was hilarious because you had uh young josh 685 who's in south auckland with all of his mates

riding bicycles and then the video of you in los ang Angeles on a rooftop, you couldn't get a better juxtaposition. For sure, for sure. Did you meet him? I loved it, man. No, we actually haven't met in person, man. Really? I mean, I think when I get to New Zealand, finally we'll get to make that meeting happen.

Oh, that's awesome. Because you're coming here for Fridays Live, which is great to have you back in New Zealand again. You all good for accommodation? Do you need to crash at our place? You all good, you all sorted? I was going to ask you guys if I could crash. Yeah, listen, the spare room at the moment's where I dump all my washings,

so I'll move that out. Now Jason, you were here a few years ago and we were lucky enough to interview you where you travelled around the country, we actually flew on the same plane as you Jetstar and we interviewed you and we have to apologize because we'd had we'd enjoyed your gig a bit too much and we're a lot we'd had a few drinks and then we had to interview you afterwards it was great for us but probably uh not as great for you I mean you you probably don't remember it but neither we. So I tried to play the trumpet for you. Here we go. Yeah. And the trumpets, there you go.

You can't even get a note out, though. Oh, my God. Yo, that seems like ages ago, but I actually remember that for sure, for sure. Yeah, I'm sure that lived on in your heart forever, mate. Now, Jono doesn't know about this, but I've actually that for sure, for sure. Yeah, I'm sure that lived on in your heart forever, mate. Jono doesn't know about this, but I've actually thought we could do some redemption today. I've bought a trumpet back.

I thought, well, should we try redemption? I've managed to sort out a trumpet. You haven't practiced. You haven't played a trumpet since the last time we met Derulo. Okay, okay, geez, I'm going in a bit cold here. Okay, so Jason, you can lead us in with the – If you, honestly, if you are able to get a note out this time, you're going to be better than last time. All right.

You don't have to do much. Four years, four years. Okay, can you sing a man or do you want me to sing a man? How does this work? I got you. And the trumpets, there you go. No, come on, Jono. Come on.

Damn. There's got to be a YouTube video on this. I don't know. Okay. That's definitely better than last time. Like you're on the board. Still probably the worst trumpeting I've ever heard I step up
