During "Carpool Karaoke" on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Joe revealed that the brothers had never even planned to discuss their rings publicly. He explained, "We were in an interview one day, and the guy asked about them, and we said, 'We don't want to talk about them.' He was like, 'I'm just going to say you're in a cult.' We were scared to death. It was one of our first interviews...The next thing you know it's the Jonas Brothers... and their purity rings. That was what people ran with forever, that was the running joke." He continued, "We found the humor in it sometimes, but we just decided at one point, 'Look, this is not who we are. We don't need to wear these anymore."
