In 2024 we had so many amazing people stop by Elvis Duran and the Morning Show. Here's one of our favorites!
Two iconic superstars, Michael Buble and Jason Derulo, stop by to talk their new epic hit - "Spicy Margarita", which we predict will be the song of the Summer!
Live from the Mercedes Benz Interview Lounge.
Spicy margaritas for everyone. Yeah, here we go. That's all.
It begins.
So this is going to be an interesting few moments on our show with both Michael Booblay and Jason Derulo.
Here.
We don't know where this is going because I mean, Jason, when you come in, it's it never gets out of control. You're always in control. When Bla comes in, all hell breaks lets.
And you would think it would be the opposite. You would think is the calm one and Derulo is the crazy one. As not that way at all.
It definitely is not even working wise.
He's like, really, you're really centered and he's like professional, and I'm.
Just you know, you know, I can't help myself. I love it.
Jason is just a nice, well centered guy in Michael's and me, I'm just a dick.
Going to one of Jason and a bottle of whisky.
You know what I'm telling you.
We like we wrote each other last night after we did a bunch of press. Honestly, I laughed, so we laughed so much that I like I'm crying yesterday.
We were It's always so much fun.
Well, so you two got to watch the eclipse together yesterday.
We did.
As a matter of fact, I'm sure that was an interesting moment in your day.
It was I didn't wear glasses, but did now we saw that video, so I.
Remember, Oh god, he was several months ago when Michael was here at Jason and it was run Christmas time. Huh and he and he's, you know, mister cool. Well, you know Jason Drulo cold and said we should do a Christmas album because I said no, no, no, no no, So we get Spicy Margarita. He takes full credit for your song.
By the way.
Yeah, well that's why I was excited. You said, like the video is out right, yeah, weirdly. I watched the full video for the first time last night after we finished, because I had seen pieces of it, of course, And uh, I was so excited because it's so I can't say. I can't look at you when I say it, but I can't wait for people to go to YouTube to watch the video because the way that you basically my choreography and the way that you executed.
No, but dude, they twins and.
You, dude, it's tight like the dance I always forget, like I think, hey, it's a great singer, man great, but then you watch him dance, it's like, what, like, I can't there's a part of me that I don't like it.
You're that good.
I don't know, Michael. I don't think I've ever really seen you do a lot of dances.
Oh yeah, I taught him a thing like that. She's a kick thing that he does.
And then you do like a yeah, that's a video yet to make it.
So the last time Michael was here, he brought his whiskey in this is he has his own whiskey, as you know. And he's eating a sandwich and walking across the room with the MIC's on. We're on the air spitting food as he's talking. You love that sandwich? That was like I loved everything about that.
Listening to me no joke. I was like, I could live here with you. If somebody said to me, like, listen, the singing isn't working. Uh, Elvis Durant wants you to be part of the crew. I would be part of this crew. I would just be with you going on holidays.
I'm a little pissed off at all of you. We're like, why you guys went to Atlantis and you didn't have me come with you.
We were like, you could have come with that's what you didn't call.
Swimming with that's your work, swimming with dolphins.
You falling in the pool with a little drinking pool thing.
You know, we fall on dolphins and they swim, They swim to the left for forever. Mare. Hey, So I remember when you said that you guys did the song together and we played it. Everyone loves it. Oh my gosh, Michael boo Bleat and Jason Doerulro together. I never I never thought. I never thought that that would happen. How did that happen? How did this happen?
So, I mean, it's the story is interesting.
I mean, he he was just like, I'm surprised that more people aren't utilizing the American Songbook.
And I was like, you know, that's interesting.
You know, because I mean I've always been a fan of Michael and the way he was able to bring that style of music to the forefront I thought was incredible. Right, And so I was like, let me go to the studio, let me figure something out. And then I made a skeleton version of a spice mark read what you here today? And I sent it to mic.
And he was like, Jason, you're a genius. And then he goes in and he does the mic thing. Man, it was it was even deep.
It was even deeper than that, because what I can tell you is that I got the skeleton version of it.
And I was sitting in the car with my wife and kids.
We were driving to a restaurant, and I got emotional and she she's looked at me and she was like, is everything okay? And I just said, I said, like, you know how many times you disappointed you guys? How many times someone sends you something as especially as an artist, and and you.
You know, it hurts because you want to be great.
And it was so great that I looked at my wife and I was like, Babe, this is this is going to be a hit song.
This is like a non negotiable thing. Like he did it.
He took one of these great American songbook songs and did it. He turned it into this. But the dude is a this is a king of urban pop. It's like, and he did it. He effectively.
I was like, this is going to be easy, but it's not easy.
Nothing's easy, but it's so much fun when it comes out and I was so excited. I remember the day sitting here with you, and I couldn't wait to just play it for you. I mean, it was months and months from coming out. I don't even know if it's completely done, and I couldn't wait for you to hear it. I couldn't wait for this moment to be here with you.
Look, you know that's the thing you work with. You guys have both worked with many people in the past, but there's that one little magic thing that happened sometimes and you can't always explain what it is, or can you What is it that lines you up together in that same lane that makes it as one during a collaboration.
I don't I don't have the right answer for that, because I don't think anybody would have put us together on the song.
Maybe that's it.
That wouldn't have been anybody on anybody's being go car right. But I think sometimes you just let the art speak, you know, and you try things, you experiment, You go into the studio and you have no no, no rules, right, and you just try things and throw things at the wall and make mistakes and sometimes you just land on something incredible.
Have you guys ever worked with other people that you thought you'd have a brilliant collab with, and then you went into the studio and you were like, yeah, no, for.
Sure, give us.
Alphabetically Paul Anka with a.
No. More often than not, it's with songwriters that I think I would make a smash song with and it just doesn't work for one reason or another. And I've tried over and over and over again with like the these amazing songwriters and it just doesn't do it. And then sometimes I'll meet somebody for the first time that has no hits and then we come out come out of the studio with tog dirdy or something, you know what I'm saying.
So it's like it's it's literally.
You don't know, you can't guess who you're going to have a connection with, and you know the song is amazing. But me and Mike have just been having the best time.
You know us, we've known each other for a long time.
Yeah, how long have you guys known each other?
How did you meet?
Just at backstage at an event.
We were both on the same label, and I think we did a bunch of press we'd be in Europe or other places, and then you know, years later, I was at a party and you were there, and we connected again and and it's uh. And then we'd like call each other and just always say, hey, man, there's gotta be something we can do.
You know.
You know what I love about this union between you two is we've known you each independently for years, years and years and years and years. Do you ever have a good friend and you find out that that good friend met another good friend of yours, You're like, wait, I know both of them, and you guys a friends. Yeah, I celebrate that. That's so cool. But you have a question.
I did, on a scale of one to ten, what is the likelihood of an album and a tour from the two of you together?
I would say less than zero.
Damn it. I like those odds.
All right now doing together, finding another reason to work. I will go do any excuse because I will say this behind his back, and I write him this like a I don't want to get too personal, but it's like, this is an ambitious, hard working dude who cares deeply about what he's doing and the people he does it with, and so it's a pleasure. Like I literally I write him and I'm like, dude, whatever happens to this song. However big it gets or doesn't get. For me, the bonus of this is it has been a great friendship.
Do you remember when he were like that, remember that.
It's a joy though it's like so it's it's too much fun.
It's honestly, I've been on tour, you know, for the last month and a half, and it's kind of like I've been on tour with Michael because every arena that I've gone to, uh, you see Michael somewhere.
So I'm just like, yeah, the guy won't leave.
We don't want it. We don't ever want Michael. When Michael visits us, he's he's our he's our little brother, and we take good care of him. And you're the best. You're both just incredible. When we found out that you're both in town today, I'm like, well, we have to.
We have to.
And I didn't have to finish the sentence. You texted me we're there. Yeah, And uh, I knew that Jason was coming in. No one told me you were coming in too. He's like, I can't wait to see you. Really, where are we going?
Well, I don't know if you know, but for me personally, for me. This was the centerpiece of the promo trip. This was at the first before anything else came in. This was the first thing I asked the publicity department. I was like, can I go?
Can we do? Elvis? Can we go?
Because the last time I came here and I played with the song, I was like, I can't wait to come back with you.
We has God got an ego blasted? Kind of crazy question. Why is it employed to be at this show on these microphones talking about what you're doing? I've always wondered because people always say thank you, that was great, and they leave, like do they really? Is there something important about this room that really is a part of your career?
How do you like us?
Do you just like us? You like her food? What is it about this show that made you want to visit today?
Personally? For me, it's interest. It's a really interesting question. I'll answer it quickly. Being on this show professionally for this song, won't it I don't know that it will change things. I don't know that it will make the guy who does the ads for the you know that means the people that put this song into the playlist of this you know the station's nationally they he she may not put the song and it may not do anything, but personally, for me, for the last I don't know how many years of my life, whatever I've had to do, whenever I've come into a room with you, I've walked out feeling better than I did coming in. And for me that is enriching enough to want to come and be with you and through Liz and our friendship for so many years, it's been it's been like that. And whether that's you and me meeting an MSG or having to drink somewhere or do I mean you know.
And I just feel the same way. A lot of love Jason. Now, Jason, E been coming here since you was seven years old.
Remember Jason, you and I did a karaoke night years and years ago when you first came on the scene and the floor was so sticky. We looked at each other. We're like, this is disgusting.
I'm like, what do we have to do?
Oh God?
Yes, I mean the journey has been it's been one for but for me, I've listened to you guys since I know you don't like when I say this, but I've been listening to you guys since I can remember you know, so like, not only does this show remind me of home, it reminds me of my beginning as well, you know, because this is the show that I would come on and I'll be so excited because it was like I made it, you know, I finally got to get on that show.
You know what I'm saying.
I always wondered, and I mean and then sorry, I'm sorry, you guys always wondered such such great people as well, because there's a lot of people that that do the that they do the escalation by putting people down and like you know, trying to get to the next the next story. But you guys are so positive all the time, you know what I'm saying. So it's it's always just been an incredible experience come here.
I had to butt our own biscuit.
There first, but dude, you really do have nice biscuits, you know what I mean. And not only great people, but like, and then I watched the thing of you guys what's it called Atlantis and Atlantis and your bikinis and your little shorts and stuff, and then my banana haven't as I go, like, look at those biscuits, and I need to be with those biscuits.
As we're talking about you and buttering big Daddy's biscuits. We are trying to get that guy who does the ads on the phone right now at iHeart. His name is Tom Pullman.
Oh, we know we I know who that is.
That's the guy to the phone. He's answer, he's not answered. He what is his what hit her?

I don't believe that I've ever heard Tom on air. This is the first time he.
Used to be a radio guy. You should have heard him. That awful. Just anyway, so we're not here to talk to talk about your failed di sect to me, We're here to talk about something else. The guy could have us all killed. So, as you know, do you agree with the following statement Michael boo Blaze, without doubt one of the most talented artists of all time. Go yes or no? I love Michael. Okay, thanks, Jason Grulo, same thing. Absolutely the longest pause of my life. I think Tom's live from Me Rock Today. Okay, So here's the thing. Tom. They have this song called Spicy Margarita, and I don't know, I don't know Boo Blaze. I say leave it alone because it's a great song on his own. He says, we need he needs traction from someone like you that could force his radio stations to play it every one in twenty minutes.
You know, can you do it for me? Like about a month ago or two months ago?
And I think now that the weather is getting warmer, it's the perfect time.
Oh heyo, that sounds nice. I'm also adding Tom's name into the remix.
Read that.
No, really, I've always wanted seriously, you do. You do have your finger on the button. You could push a butt. You could pull the trigger today and make this song fold out across the nation and on the iHeartRadio app and the whole world would hear it.
But you need should we do it? Well?
The answers, yes, you should do it?
Yeah. I feel like, I mean, is this real?

I feel. I feel like, maybe are you sure if this is real? Yes?
Well, what do you mean am I shore?
I don't know, Like a lot of people thought, maybe the eclipse, everything's gonna go crazy.
The aliens were coming.
Maybe I died and I woke up, And now I'm hanging with Elvis Dratt and his friends and we're eating tacos and I'm drinking whiskey and Tom Pullman's on the phone talking.
About So this is real.
Yes, this is rare, because I did stare at any beer drinking whiskey. No yet, No, you know it's crazy.

Sir Darublay murdered.
Yeah, who gave you the name?
I think we were doing we were doing stuff for content.
Yeah, there was some skit that we were doing and we're like, what what would be a good name, like a like a good name, bestie name?
And then was doing that stuck. I feel like it was, you know, our first interviews too. It was like people.
The first thing they said to Jason was so Jason, and they did the thing like this, and then they were like and Christmas guy, and I was.
We both liked each other. We were like, man, they were coming.
It was like this in every guy in every interview was like that, and both of us.
I'd see his face, his eyes glazed over when the forty seventh interviewer in a row would go like hilariously said anything.
You like, I.
Love a courtesy laugh And then they and they turned to me and say, so now that you're defrosted, and I'd go like, you can see the rage and of his.
Speaks.
Mob, now we know what not to do when you walk, you.
Know, to do it.
Christmas guy, life time you were here, we did have cocktails? Are we are we forgoing to have a full day of No?
I was, it's funny, and he took a swig.
I just had one. I just had one, but I was hoping to have a cup. Yeah, I would love to have. Yeah.
The talent, the talent needs a buzz, yes, ma'am.
Okay, you both said it, and I just have to know why Why did you stare at the eclipse with no glasses?
The hell are you thinking?
No? Actually actually didn't?
Are you lied to us?
Yeah? It was it was it was a break. I was.
I was actually staring at a building, but I had no idea that the picture was going to go viral.
I just did it as a joke.
Are you telling me all the people that were in the because there's like forty people behind you looking.
They were looking at it, okay, but I was looking at the building. I wasn't looking at the Oh. I thought that was like it. I thought you made it was all a setup, like the whole thing. Oh, those were real people.
But they're following year lead and so you're blinding, Like there's wet issues to that.
I don't know.
My content guy was like, should we tell the kids? Not to do this, and I was like, no, no, no, because the clips the next eclipse is like in twenty years.
I think we're good. Yeah, they'll have a they'll have a new eyeball by then. Hey, what talking about your video that you dropped yesterday?
Yeah?
Man shot at the beautiful Venetian by the way where by the way, Jason has a residency going on. I wonder if that had something to.
Do with that.
Uh.
Yeah, the residency starts May seventeenth.
But I thought I thought.
It would be a beautiful place to shoot this video because we have this amazing concept behind the video and it's and it's a piece of a movie. Actually, So if you if you want to see Boobley act, his chops are pretty crazy.
Thank you. He plays a mob boss in the video.
You play a mob boss.
Yeah, it's close to reality.
Because we know the mob is alive and well in Canada.
Yeah, we'll come and get you. Can I ask you a pee in question? Yeah?
What the hell we're talking about the video? Where you going with?
Wait? Recently?
He Well, he's poring drink. If you get anything's on the tablet, it's all you. You were just on stage and didn't you say to the audience, I have to go to the bathroom, and then you ran off the stage.
I thought you guys had pea buckets on the side of the bucket just in case.
So Blay has a pea bucket. He actually here's a p steward.
I thought it would be amazing to shoot at TikTok with the fifteen thousand people that were at the at the arena. So I was just like, Uh, wouldn't it be hilarious if if an artist had to pee and just like told the audience to wait. So I asked if they would do the bit with me. So I was just like when I say I got a pee, just boo me right, And then of course TMZ takes the small clip me saying sorry, guys, I gotta go pee, and then the crowd is like boom and they post just.
That just like you're staring at the eclipse, you're nothing but a mountain of lives.
How long is the residency? The residency is a year. Mann. Can we figure out like a trip we can all do together? Yes, yeah we should.
I'll do something because then the whole thing of us slash touring together could sort of I could would you let.
Me up there? Absolutely? Let's go him? Can we drink and stuff and go? Are we allowed to make this a party around little Yeah? And the beautiful thing and Venetian? Everything is so everything. I've taken time off to do this kind of stuff. Where's where's mine? Oh? I didn't know?
I thought you were?
I didn't know. Can you drink on ozampic?
Is that.
I really shouldn't?
But I refore before before you toast? Hold on, hold on. This interview is so fun. Michael and Jason are the duo you didn't know you needed. A huge thank you to Jason for the super novas and Omaha loves volleyball amazing. Michael's contract the best contract I've ever been to. He's so funny. Jason is heavy on my playlist. This show is amazing. We need Boo blame Deerula on the regular look at that.

And that's how we lost our jobs.
Would you like to tell everyone the history behind this whiskey we're about to taste?
Oh yeah, Fraser and Thompson.
I don't know what I'm doing, ladies and gentlemen, But unlike other celebrity brands. I actually, my partner is an incredible dude who is a whiskey nerd, and I just let him do all the work. I just basically love how it tastes. And I thought, how coolould it be to make a ton of money drinking alcohol?
