Joe Jonas wants to drop his last name, or so he says while prank calling Jake Shane and his brother, Kevin. From asking Ryan Tedder to check on an ice cream truck Joe claims to have backed into and fled the scene, to calling his parents speaking only in lyrics from his new song 'Work It Out,' the singer's pranking skills are unmatched. Watch as he convinces his younger brother, Frankie that he got offered to be a bombshell on 'Love Island' and tells singer/songwriter Paris Carney that he's going to debut his new song with an interpretive dance.

00:00I wanted to get your opinion.
00:01Dropping Jonas for the solo stuff.
00:03Just Joe.
00:04I just think that we've built something pretty impressive
00:07with the name Jonas.
00:09Hey everybody, what's up?
00:10I'm Joe Jonas with Elle,
00:11and I'm going to be prank calling my friends,
00:14or my team, or my family.
00:15This is phoning it in.
00:18I think this is gonna go very well.
00:21Now, I watched Jake Chaynes,
00:22and I know he couldn't get anybody on the phone.
00:24Please leave your message for three, one.
00:27I would've answered his call, but he didn't call me.
00:31So, I'm a little salty about that.
00:32But I think this is gonna go wonderfully,
00:34and I think I'm gonna get him.
00:36Okay.
00:38Say you're going to drop your last name
00:39and just go by Joe.
00:41I think I'm gonna turn the favor.
00:43We should call Jake Chayne.
00:48Hey.
00:49Hey, Jake.
00:50What's up?
00:51Wanted to, can I ask you a question real quick?
00:54Yes, of course, anything.
00:55Am I calling people that I really respect
00:58and I need to know their thoughts?
00:59I'm thinking for the album to drop my last name
01:02and just go by Joe.
01:06Oh.
01:09What do you think?
01:10I feel like you would think like Prince, Beyonce,
01:14you know, Prince Harry.
01:16That's two, I guess it's technically two.
01:18Did you just come up with this idea?
01:20I've been thinking, I actually, you inspired it.
01:23I did, okay.
01:24I remember you said something during our interview,
01:26you were like, just go with your gut
01:27and that feels like I should go with my gut.
01:29You know what?
01:30I did say that.
01:31I did say that.
01:32And if that is what your gut is telling you,
01:34you should absolutely go with your gut.
01:36Wow.
01:37And drop the last name.
01:38Okay, and you're fine if I credit you for this?
01:43You know what?
01:43Anything for you, Joe.
01:45Are you okay if Elle magazine uses this for content?
01:49Oh, you, yeah.
01:50Yeah.
01:53All right, bye.
01:55I think he caught on at the end there.
01:57Okay, who else here?
01:59Actually, I'm gonna tell Kevin
02:00about the dropping the last name thing
02:01cause that's gonna be believable.
02:05Hello?
02:06So question for you.
02:08Yes.
02:09Doing promo today for the new song and everything.
02:11And I kind of had like an epiphany and idea
02:14and I wanted to get your opinion.
02:16Okay.
02:17Dropping Jonas for the solo stuff, just Joe.
02:21What?
02:22Like in general?
02:23I mean, it would be for just the project.
02:27I think that's good, potentially.
02:29I just personally,
02:32I just personally,
02:34but what's your intention?
02:35And then I'll answer the questions.
02:36I personally hate it.
02:38My intention, you know, just like iconic acts out there.
02:41You know, they just have like one, like name.
02:44I just think that we've built something pretty impressive
02:47with the name, with the name of the song.
02:49I think it's pretty impressive
02:50with the name, with the word Jonas.
02:52You're right.
02:53No, I agree.
02:54Yeah.
02:55Kevin, this is a prank call, by the way.
02:56I'm doing an interview with Elle Magazine prank
02:58calling my friends and family, so.
03:00Oh, fantastic.
03:03So thank you for being so supportive, but I love it.
03:05You're like, yeah, no, yeah.
03:07I'm not sure about that.
03:08Well, if you want to do it.
03:11I mean, you are just Kevin in my phone.
03:15All right.
03:15Bye.
03:17All right.
03:18Let me see here.
03:20So you accidentally backed into an ice cream truck
03:21and fled the scene.
03:24I think I'm going to go with Ryan Tedder.
03:27Let's see if he believes me.
03:29Yo.
03:30Hey Ryan, what's up, dude?
03:31How are you?
03:32So I've got, I've got a funny dilemma
03:34that I just want to quickly ask you
03:35because I think, I don't know.
03:36So I was right by Melrose Place, not far from the studio.
03:41Yeah, yeah.
03:42And I might've backed up into an ice cream truck
03:44and fled the scene, but I can't really remember.
03:48I can't really remember.
03:50I just remember like hearing the beep, beep, beep, beep,
03:52beep, beep.
03:52And then like, I thought I hit the curb.
03:55And as I left, I'm pretty sure I saw a dink.
03:59Would your assistant go by or something?
04:07See if the ice cream truck got a dink on it.
04:13There might've been a paparazzi that caught it.
04:14So if like he could also, there's a paparazzi there.
04:17There's like a bunch of people.
04:19Cause you know how this could blow up.
04:20So.
04:23Okay.
04:24That would be so kind.
04:30You are the sweetest man ever.
04:31And also this is, this is a, this is also a prank call.
04:38Well done.
04:40You had the greatest response by the way.
04:41So sweet.
04:45That's the kind of friend you want in your life.
04:48So they got smart.
04:49He's like, I'm not going to go look,
04:50but I'll send my assistant.
04:53Alrighty.
04:54Carry a conversation on by only quoting lyrics
04:56from my new song.
04:57Work it out.
04:58I'm going to call Mama Jonas.
05:02Hey mom.
05:04Hi son.
05:05Where are you?
05:07I'm at home with your dad right here.
05:08Nice.
05:09I've been sitting and thinking like,
05:10I was just been like, come on, Joe.
05:13You have like so much more to be grateful for, you know?
05:16Amen.
05:18And I'm like, stop.
05:19I'm like, stop being sad.
05:20You know, you're making everybody uncomfortable.
05:22Sounds like a song I just heard.
05:25I don't know what you're talking about.
05:26And then I'm like, you know, sometimes like,
05:29you ever feel like when you like baddies get saddies?
05:33Do I ever feel like that?
05:34You just, you, you know what I mean?
05:36Yeah.
05:36Baddies get saddies.
05:38I get it.
05:39And then you're like, you call it,
05:40you call your mommy and your daddy
05:42and they don't know what to do.
05:42We don't even know what to say.
05:44We don't know what to say.
05:46And then you're like, hello?
05:47Hello?
05:48Hello?
05:49Hello?
05:50Wake up.
05:51Tomorrow's now.
05:52And you're like, get up, get up, get up.
05:54What are you whining about?
05:55You know?
05:57Like sometimes nobody's going to save you.
06:02This guy knows the lyrics.
06:04Mom and dad, this is a prank on prank call.
06:06Oh, okay.
06:06What does that mean?
06:07I don't know.
06:08I'm doing an interview with Elle magazine.
06:10It's okay if we use this in the interview.
06:12Elle magazine, absolutely.
06:14I was just thinking today.
06:15I could hear your hair flip just when you said that.
06:18You totally did.
06:20Am I right?
06:21Did she, did she, dad?
06:22So right.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Yeah, because I was just thinking today,
06:26I saw you go.
06:28Okay, mom, this is, you're on speaker.
06:30I love you.
06:32I'm just kidding.
06:33I'm kidding.
06:33Okay.
06:34I love you.
06:35I'll talk to you later.
06:37Oh, okay.
06:37Bye.
06:38Bye.
06:39Bye.
06:41Let's see.
06:43So you've been asked to be a bombshell on Love Island.
06:46I'm at my youngest brother, Franklin Jonas.
06:53Hey Frank.
06:54What's up, my brother in Christ?
06:56How you doing?
06:57Wonderful.
06:58So I just wanted to ask your opinion
06:59because I feel like you're hip to these things
07:02and I don't watch the show all the time,
07:03but I've seen a couple of episodes.
07:04So I've been asked to be a bombshell on Love Island
07:09and I think it could be kind of amazing.
07:13Holy.
07:16I'd have to clear like a couple of weeks,
07:17six weeks to be exact.
07:19And I wouldn't be able to really talk to anybody
07:22because I would have to keep it as a big secret.
07:24But like, you're pretty much like one of three people
07:27that would know.
07:27Should I do it?
07:29You want my genuine, hold on.
07:31Well, it could, it's like a 70, 30 chance.
07:3770% the most legendary ever.
07:43Okay.
07:43Like of all time.
07:44Those are good statistics
07:45and those are usually what I would bet on.
07:49So you're leaning on yes.
07:51I lean on that's the most epic ever.
07:58All right, there you have it.
07:59I appreciate it.
08:01Frank, out of curiosity,
08:02are you okay if Elle magazine uses this for an interview?
08:05Because I'm being interviewed right now.
08:08Oh my God, of course.
08:10All right, love you, bye.
08:12I love you too.
08:16I'm bothering Christ.
08:17I knew we'd have a good one.
08:20Okay.
08:21Say you're going to cover like a really bizarre song
08:23for our next show.
08:24Let's see who else.
08:25If it wasn't like 3 a.m. in Australia,
08:28I'd call my sister-in-law.
08:30Dr. Phil, that'd be a fun one too.
08:32Oh my God.
08:33Let's try Paris.
08:35Paris Carney, who's a great singer, songwriter.
08:38Maybe we'll go with the...
08:39Your call has been forwarded to voicemail.
08:43Let's try that again.
08:46Hello?
08:47Hey Paris.
08:48I'm in a session, but are you okay?
08:50Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
08:50I just want to ask your opinion on one thing really fast.
08:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me.
08:54So I'm thinking of debuting the new song
08:56on stage this weekend.
08:58Okay.
08:59I think I'm not going to sing.
09:00I'm just going to do like an interpretive dance.
09:02I can't.
09:06What?
09:08I feel like, I mean, that is an interesting thing to try,
09:13but I can't tell if this is a joke.
09:17No, you know, I know it sounds crazy,
09:19but I just feel like,
09:20I just want people to take this seriously.
09:25I think maybe you should maybe sing it.
09:31Of course they're going to expect me to sing,
09:33but if I don't,
09:37I think this is it.
09:39This is how I do it.
09:42Is that, can I think about it and then call you back?
09:45Your reaction is why I'm going to do it.
09:50Okay, well don't tell Greg that that's why you're doing it
09:53because I don't want to be too polite.
09:54No, thank you.
09:55I'll let Greg know now.
09:56What is happening?
09:58This is a prank call.
10:01Oh my gosh.
10:03Thank you for your support.
10:04I can't wait to do this dance.
10:06I was like, is this Nick talking?
10:08Is this AI?
10:10All right, get back to your session.
10:13Bye.
10:15Boom.
10:16That was a good way.
10:17Good way to finish it.
10:18This is fun.
10:19I love the reactions.
10:20They're like, ah, I'm on camera.
