It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

We all know what it’s like to be down in the dumps, and pop stars are no different. Jordan (@Jordans_Life) sat down with Cody Simpson to ask him what picks him up when he’s down. And then he made some kind of come-on comments about his Dad.
