Young Hollywood

What's going on, guys? Hanging with me right now, I have Why Don't We? Woo! How are you guys doing?

Why Don't We

I'm in the best mood ever. The librarians aren't telling them to be quiet. We went over there earlier for and they like broke our eardrums saying they guys to say we're here for you.

Young Hollywood

Well, you guys, I do want to talk about eight letters. Okay. Specifically, the song. I'm obsessed with it. Um, can you guys talk me through the lyrics a little bit? Because I feel like these lyrics are really actually very mature and very serious even though you guys are, you know, a cute little boy band.

Why Don't We

We're man band. Man band. My bad. I could go into the army. I'm old enough. I'm a man. Sure. That's true. Fair, my bad. I won't say boy ever again. We've we've never really gotten like this deep before in a song. And uh, I think out of any of our songs, this could probably apply to like the most amount of people whether you're 15 years old or you're 30 years old. Uh, or you're two years old like them. I was born 19 years ago. He was born 19 years ago.

Young Hollywood

Okay, I want to know which one out of you men would say those eight letters first. Who's most likely to?

Why Don't We

Oh, Jack. Jack. For sure. I love you. Oh, God. Pretty easy for you? I'm going to fall in love really easily. No, I don't. Oh, someone's defensive. Oh, boy.

Young Hollywood

Okay, we'll change the subject. Um, hold up the book because I do want to talk about this. Yes. In the limelight. Congratulations, you guys. Um, what do you think your fans are going to love most about this book?

Why Don't We

Um, the baby pictures. Yeah. Can we open to that page? You passed it. No, I didn't. I think you did. No, I didn't. Dude, thank you. No, I didn't. We can't show that. We can't show them, got to get the book. for like 0. 5 seconds. 0. 5, 0. 5. I like a flat. Oh. I think with the book though like we just kind of told stories that we haven't really told before and like really got to relive like a lot of moments of coming together as a band and like I learned a lot about them just like, you know, before the band and their their lives, which was really fun during that process. Yeah. It's crazy to just have a book. It's crazy for our faces to be on this hard covered book. Oh my god. It's crazy now because we've heard we've heard ourselves on the radio. We've seen ourselves on the TV. And now we have a book. And you're also going on tour. Really crazy. And we're on Young Hollywood, which is like insane, so you know. Something cool about the book too that not a lot of people know is that we we're big fans of the Beatles and we took this shot right in front of Abbey Road Studios in London. That's so cool. So, yeah.

Young Hollywood

We want to have you guys give us dating advice because you guys are like little heartbreakers. No, you guys are angels. I'm pretty sure you guys will give us good advice. It's called What Would Why Don't We Do? Uh-oh. We have someone that's broken over here. What would Why Don't We Do? What would you guys do if you were being ghosted by someone you really like?

Why Don't We

Um, I would stand like this. I would take And then I'd walk away. I would uh I would take a hint honestly. I mean, like if you're being ghosted, it's probably because they don't like you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, true. I agree with Jonah. If you're being ghosted, you got to opt out.

Young Hollywood

What would you guys do if you have feelings for a friend and you're worried it'll ruin the friendship?

Why Don't We

I mean, that's kind of what eight letters is about and, you know, you got to just you got to just say it because then you're going to come out with a sad song like we did and you're going to regret it a lot. So, I say you just do it. You just go for it. He's right. He's right. He's right. Just do it. Like Nike or Shia LaBeouf, you know. Just do it.

Young Hollywood

Okay, last one. What would you guys do if you screenshotted a conversation and sent it back to that person?

Why Don't We

I've done this. I have done this. Oh my god. I've done this. I'm sure. Oh my god. At that point, you just you just don't exist for a second. You're gone. I did this when I This was like I thought it just goes away if you hold it down and click delete. No. It doesn't like not send. You take your phone and you just fight it. I Okay, he really did that. I It's not. Wow. Things Daniel Seavey did. That. That. Anyway, I did it in an argument and I as soon as I did it, the way I caught myself was by saying, "Look what you're saying right now, bro." Oh. That's good. Oh, that's smart. That's smart. I caught myself because he was like, "Dude, like what like what?" You're like, "Let's just talk about this really quick. I'm going to send you back what you just said." Right? That's smart. I like that thinking. Like, read read this. I'm going to do that next time. I'm no Corbyn. I would have failed. You're smart. Just on your phone. like, "Um, I'm sorry."
