stone cold.

tik tok has this weird thing that becomes focused on something and shows you it a million times. like don't ask me how i ended up on "this side of tik tok" but i do and it stays there for days. talk about hyper focus much? though night changes is a good one to fixate on, it's a good song. i stand by that. it's one of the greatest feelings in the world, seeing the fans, feeling their support, their heart, but think it'll be something that is now forever bittersweet. but i'm lucky so i will always try and remember it like that. will say i will always be happy to go home to my daughter when i can, that's definitely the win out of all of this.

honestly, i think if i ever wound up on my own tiktok feed, i'd probably quit the app and never look back. it's probably one of the best songs ever written. ah, yeah, i bet, it'd be a little bittersweet given the circumstances, but it has to be nice to feel their love too after all this time. you know what? i don't understand completely, but i imagine seeing her little face wins over everything. how old is she now?

It's a learning process, of course. Oh my goodness, I love this so much! Surprise guest for your musical edition? I'm so in for this! And I just know people are going to love this. They love when people start singing randomly, so how cool is this going to be? When are we making this happen then? You're in LA area?

People are going to lose their minds and post it everywhere and I'm so here for it. Honestly, especially good singers? They'd be over the moon! I live in LA, yes. Where are you? LA too?

Oh it's wonderfully comedic to watch someone else try to focus and make a face like that, it's a little embarrassing if you're the one making the face. You'd think Zack's a good cook too, but he doesn't try that many different things, plus everything he picks to cook for himself is just healthy. Homemade pasta is everything, once you got the hang of it, it's so easy to make and it's ultimately better than any bought pasta. Told you I could impress you with my cooking. How 'bout this, one day I may agree to teach you how to make the lobster pot pie so you've got some dish on your hands to impress whoever you want to impress? I promise not to bring my dogs, because they're larger than yours and always in the way, and no that's not actually so much fun when you're trying to cook. I think first songs could be either Don't Forget or Here We Go Again, both were released in a relatively short time, weren't they? Do you realize just how good those would've been had you gone full rock on them? See I knew he wrote some of those with you and it's gotta be one of those so I can tease him all about it. I even promise to record it for you, so you can have a laugh about it too. Warrior is a great song, but slow.. I believe Something That We're Not would be the easier choice to 'rockify'.

Zack looks to me like he really enjoys a grill, and that's basically his wheelhouse. The other two? not a chance on the cooking, i'd imagine. Healthy is fun, but like you need a variety to make life worth it, you know? If I wouldn't fucking fuck it up, I'd probably attempt to make it myself for the show, but i'm afraid of the shape of my kitchen afterwards. Fuck yeah, I love that idea. I can show you how to make the best brownies you've ever had in your life. Your dogs are definitely larger than mine, they are cute though, I will give you that one. Less than a year apart, I think? I like the old sound a lot better, I've been shifting back to it a little, because I've learned, I enjoy making rock music a lot more. Fuck yeah. I love getting to be amused by people getting teased. ...........Yeaaaah, about that song. I'm going to have to tell you before you get real into the idea of rockifying it.

We all make funny faces, especially when we're focused on doing something we've never done before. It's hilarious to watch, but it's also very normal I'd say. Oh I do, I'm actually a pretty decent cook. I usually settle for things like homemade pasta or pizza but I also try new fancy things all the time. Do you want to be impressed? I can make a neat Deconstructed Lobster Pot Pie. Fanciest, most impressive thing I learned to make I think. Cooking's so much fun though, I enjoy moving 'round the kitchen preparing all the food. It's especially fun with the dogs sitting right in the way constantly in hopes of getting some of the food. No! We totally missed out on collaborating, which is crazy now that you mention it. I'm gonna have to give Jon a call and whine about it so next album is gonna be our time to blow people's minds. Ah, you're really putting me on the spot here. Hold on. I wanna go way back to one of your first songs mainly because those should've been more rock to begin with, but then also didn't you write a song or two for DEMI with Andrew Goldstein? He's one of the best so taking one of those songs would be so cool, and I'd constantly tease him about making his song better, ha.

The hyperfixation face is always such a funny one to watch, just the full focus and your tongue is out, eyes glued and everyone around you is like "are you okay?" I believe it. Out of the whole band, you definitely look like you can cook the best. Homemade pasta is such a game changer though. Deconstructed Lobster Pot Pie sounds so damn good, honestly. That's such a "impress someone" dish too. Cooking is one of those things that I've learned how to enjoy, it's fun learning how to do different things, and learning how things pair together too. I'm so glad, the dogs are small for me, so it's a pretty easy gate when I'm trying to cook. I don't have enough time under my belt to deal with dogs at my feet. Exactly! I'm glad I've helped talk you into it. We definitely need that collab into the works. It'll sound so good???? Your voices would compliment each others so well. Are we talking off of Don't Forget? For "first songs" or? Three, technically. Something That We're Not, I Hate You, Don't Leave Me and Warrior are his co-writes. That'd be such a funny conversation to hear too. And I'll be honest, I barely remember the middle one.

Ew, please no. How could anyone think that's a delicious meal? If I were you, I would not let anyone talk me into having it. Can he sing? It's gonna be so great. You might actually have to call it musical cooking with Demi for this one episode. Tell me, when's this happening because I absolutely can't wait. Plus I miss hanging out with you!

See, you get it. It's really not. I kinda avoid it as much as possible now, outside of shrimp. I'm getting a bit better with that. Slightly? It kinda sounds good sometimes. Cooking With Demi: The Musical edition. I'll surprise them by not putting you in the thumbnail, so they have to watch for the best surprise ever. I'm free pretty much most of the time, currently! So whenever you're free. I also miss hanging out with you.

So cooking fish is something that makes you uncomfortable? I don't know if I'd say this should be about anything like food, or making it? He's going to just have to enjoy the free musical rendition he's going to get. I think that's going to be hilarious! And yes, some of the best content for sure. People are gonna love watching this.

I think it's fish in general, with it's slimy texture that makes me uncomfortable, if i'm honest. He's probably going to enjoy it, he might even join it. Sometimes he steals the food, it's so funny. I love that you get me.

Hey, we all gotta learn these things before mastering them, messes and disasters included. No parts of your fingers were chopped off in the process though, right? I'd count that as a win. Ah, it's been a long time since I made something like the merry me chicken but that's a great dish. Ha, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who caught that, Lovato. Not subtle at all with it. I'm not blaming you for wanting John on a song, he's such a cool guy. We've been touring with them so often but never got to do a collab. I get to pick the song? Are you sure you're not going to regret letting me pick?

You get it, honestly. Not at all, maybe just a funny face here and there when something smells funny, but that's about it. Do you not cook often? Jutes loved when I did, so I spent a lot of time doing it, now that I'm alone, it's mostly just for the show or when I'm actually feeling it. Oh, no. It's been pretty asked about, I just avoid the question. Sometimes, I'm really subtle though! He's insanely talented too. You've NEVER done a collab? Get on it. We need it in the world. .......What are you going to pick?

Homemade spicy pickle? I didn't realize you were doing all these cool dishes and foods now. Aren't you doing a cooking show too? What's the best dish you've cooked during that? Hey, we all fall for the weirdest things sometimes. You got out of it stronger, that's what we focus on though. Ah, so the other song is Ruin the Friendship, isn't it? You weren't very subtle with that. I'll be waiting for those voice memos (entirely excited to listen to what's to come). I'd be happy to get on one of your re-records. I have to admit I was a little bummed you asked The Maine to sing with you but not ATL.

i've been doing a lot of cool things for awhile now, learning as i go, it's been a disaster at points but. I am! Cooking With Demi. Bold name, I know. Marry me chicken is absolutely my favorite, honestly. Absolutely, we do. Hah. I hate that you caught it, but it wasn't really subtle. Suppose I let the heart win a bit too much, genuinely. I'm very excited for you to hear. I'm pretty proud of it so far. I've been wanting John on a song forever, honestly. I just love collabing with people now and reworking things. I'll even let you pick the song, so you're not as bummed!

Have you considered giving up on the fish? It sounds like a dangerous thing to be doing. We're so much safer with baking. We may end up making a mess of the kitchen but at least no ones going to be hurt (hopefully)? I'm pretty sure your camera guy is in for an experience.. The two of us making a mess of your kitchen and randomly bursting out into wicked songs - or any musical songs really. I already can't wait for this!

i'd love too, but therapy says to do things that make me uncomfortable. i really wish it didn't mean fish though. a mess can be cleaned up though, no? but an injury would be so bad. my camera man is probably going to sit here and go "what did i do to deserve this." but, this is what he's here for, delivering the best content possible and i definitely think this is the best content possible.

What's your favorite kind? Because I know there's like a million different ways to enjoy pickles. Hey, I'm not gonna. Just mentioning the song to fill my list here. Oh he definitely just wanted that fame. Probably freaked out about what to do during the pandemic, figured he'd jump at the chance of getting your attention. Both? Now hold up, which one's about which one of them then? Fill me in. You're gonna have to let me listen to some of it. If anything, you're gonna want to have someone listen to it and tell you whether it's enough to play into the Rockvato era we're all wanting to see still.

honey mustard are the actual go too, but homemade spicy pickle? a game changer. i know, i trust you. oh absolutely, and my silly ass fell for that one immediately. i mean i think i was pretty forward about Gonna Get Caught over the years, the other one will probably get taken with me, honestly. It's pretty obvious though, with the amount of time I've been asked about it. I'll send you a few voice memos of what I've got. Eventually, I gotta get you on one of the old songs I'm gonna end up re-recording, too. Since you got me on Monsters.

I love that you named your dog Pickle by the way. Is ist just because you like pickles so much? Wait, when did this turn into a trivia round? Fine though, I can do three. Let me start with pointing out the obvious? And you're not going to make me say the name, but we all know who '29' is about. Correct me if I'm wrong, but '15 minutes' must be about that Max guy? And I'm sure there's one of the older songs about either Nick or Joe Jonas. You've got a lot of faith in me but I doubt it. If he doesn't want to stick around there's nothing I can do but pout and try to talk him into staying rather than leaving. Damn it, now I wanna know what it's all gonna sound like, gimme a sneak peak or something, just a little listen?

It is. I think its an obsession with pickles at this point. When you said you could name three songs about people. I'd rather you never speak that name in my presence, but correct. I mean, yes. Considering how that one ended, I'm pretty sure he just liked the fame I could give them. Hahaha. I..........mean, maybe both. Oops? Honestly, just like hog tie him to a chair, and see how that goes? I could. I mean, I have most of it.

Everyone knows you're clumsy. It's not a secret I can't call you out on - just embrace it. You just gotta be more careful. Do you still have those pads spread around everywhere or is your place safer to walk around now? I bet you I could list a bunch of your break up songs and also tell who they're about. I can't lock Zack up, have you seen him lately? All he does is work out, boy is so buff I don't think I could push him out of the way unless I manage to take him by surprise. See I knew you were trying to just drop the topic but I'm curious. We all love Rockvato, it suits you damn well. So, we're gonna be getting another rock album?

I hate this for me. I mean, Pickle still needs them sometimes. But, I've removed most of them at least. This is gonna turn into Demi Lovato trivia, so actually I'd like you to do at least three. I'll...pay you a compliment, or something. I have. He looks like a tank and that's crazy, but you know what, good for him. I think you could take him if his eyes were closed and he couldn't see you. It'll for sure have rock influences at least. Disney's looking into Camp Rock 3 too.

They weren't super tiny puppies anymore just still had a lot to learn. I didn't even get them at the same time but like half a year apart. Was hard work though, I admit that. How many times did you slip on those pee pads, Dems? Because we both know you're clumsy. It's harder losing a friend than a lover if we're being honest. Is that what you do though, use the hurt from a break up and put it out into songs? I know you've got a whole bunch of songs that would fit right into that. I don't know if I should be offended by him jetting back off into the sun again first chance he gets though. Ha, he'll come back eventually. Gotta lock him up in a cabin with us to write some new tunes eventually. Which brings me back to, you still haven't told me anything about your new music.

the training of dogs is so crazy, because they learn different ways too. don't you call me out on being clumsy, damn. Way too many times though, if i'm honest. Honestly, truly. I'd rather lose lovers all day then people close to me that know way too much. Oh, I mean it most definitely is what I do. Gotta channel it productively, or it just eats at you. I'm sure you can make a list of songs that would fit that description. I'm not sure if you should be offended, but I don't see him as a farm boy, honestly. Just lock him up like the beginning of a horror movie, or something. Damn, you caught me. Some of it is very rockish. I did like two-ish rock albums and somehow think I should consistently do the genre, i guess.

Four dogs at once sounds wild too. I got up to three at one point but since two of them were still puppies at the time it was hard work. I can't even imagine how you deal with four. You're putting our friendship up for a video of Poe meeting a mini horse? Fine, I promise there'll be video footage of it, just for you. Let me be honest here and say that the hardest part about a break up with someone you've been with for so damn long, and we're talking two decades here, is that ultimately you're gonna end up losing a friend, not just a lover. She's got a great voice, I've known that for years just took me forever and a break up to get her to show it to the world on a song. Oh, I'm 100% sure Zack's there for the sun and the beach and we're just lucky he loves making music so much he ends up coming back to us for that.

...two of them being puppies was a rookie move, buddy. honestly, they're all small, so it's pretty easy. pickle is a puppy though and i really didn't miss the pee pads all over the house. fuck yeah, i love videos of animals meeting each other. honestly, i get it. not the whole two decades thing, but knowing someone so long that you ultimately lose basically your best friend too. it's hard as hell to push through it too, luckily you've got that songwriting outlet that also helps you. i'm glad she got to do that though, definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity. at least he gets his fix of his friends before completely fucking off on them again though.

Does that happen often? Because if you get hurt easily and I'm clumsy as fuck, maybe we're gonna need to have someone supervising us. Such a great idea - and if we're making it a whole theme? It's gonna be the best damn thing ever. Please tell me you'd be willing to break out into the song with me at any given time while baking - I have zero doubt you could belt out the notes.

It's happened a few times, usually with fish though. The faces I make while learning how to cut fish is a time, and sometimes the knife slips. Baking shouldn't cause too much injury, but Ill have my camera guy make sure he's in earshot at the very least. You understand me on a level. Of course! I have the whole soundtrack memorized, I got you. I have slight hope I can hit the notes.
