1
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: Last year, I had the pleasure the privilege of chatting

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: with one of my heroes, somebody that I just absolutely adore,

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Chrissie Mets. Chrissie is the award winning actress who is

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: known as Kate Pearson on NBC's This Is Us and

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: I Am addicted to it. I love it and Kate Pearson,

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: the character Kate Pearson played by Chrissie Mets, is one

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: of MY favorite favorite aspects of the show. At that time,

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: when I interviewed Christie the first time, she and Devon

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: Franklin had recently started in Breakthrough, an incredible movie that

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: had just been released. But for some reason, during that

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: initial conversation with Chrissie, I neglected to talk to her

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: about her singing. She performed the single I'm Standing with

13
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: You that was featured in the movie Breakthrough. She also,

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: as her character Kate Pearson, sings and This Is Us

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: and I completely neglected to talk about that. Her performance

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: and breakthrough with I'm Standing with You led to her

17
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Country Music Award debut in April of twenty nineteen, alongside

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: all sorts of big names. Now, she has signed with

19
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Universal Music Group Nashville and is quite the Star. Her

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: debut single, Talking to God, has led to this conversation

21
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: talking with Delilah and I'm so thrilled to welcome Chrissy

22
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: back to love someone with the Lilah. Hi, Grizzy, how

23
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: are you? Oh my god? I love you? Oh, I

24
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: love you. Have you been well? You know, Corona? But

25
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: other than so, where did you Where did you end

26
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: up sheltering in place? Um? In Nashville? So, yeah, it's

27
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: been since March twelfth, got here, Um, I came to

28
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: finish the album and literally the record stop, literally, And

29
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: so I've just been here ever since. And I mean,

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: I love it. It's so beautiful here and I'm not

31
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: very far from my family, which makes me feel a

32
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: little a little more more comfort, you know. Um. But yeah,

33
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: we've been in Nashville, my best friend and I so,

34
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: And did you go there thinking I'm going to finish

35
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: this album, I'm going to go in the studio, I'm

36
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: going to produce it, I'm going to get it done.

37
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Or did you go there thinking, oh my gosh, coronas

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: spreading like wildfire. I'm just gonna go hunker down, like

39
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: where was your head the night of March eleven? Yeah,

40
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: we literally I have one suitcase. I've been rotating four

41
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: dresses for the past couple of months. And it was

42
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: we're going to be here for like a week maybe

43
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: and head back to l A and you know, get

44
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: some stuff done, but and get ready for the tour

45
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: that was going to happen June three. So we did

46
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: not plan. We were not in the headspace. And then

47
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: when we got here, everyone's like, oh, there's going to

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: be like a shelter in place, um, and we're like,

49
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: what do you mean? So literally, I and I bought

50
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: a home in February, so there was nothing in the

51
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: house there still really isn't think good as we had

52
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: some beds, but we were like, we need groceries and

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: dishes like what. So it was it was kind of

54
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: an adventure to say the least. But um, yes, thank

55
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: goodness for Amazon and and everybody, all these central workers

56
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: who were able to even get the packages to us,

57
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: because I was like, I don't know what we're gonna do, um,

58
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: And you know, we had to wait, of course some

59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: time for things and I have like a hodgepodge of

60
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: furniture that was just available to arrive. So it's been

61
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: very interesting. So the night that you're packing up to

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: go to Nashville to start producing your album. I packed

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: up five kids, two outlaws, my ex in laws, uh,

64
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: three dogs, a cat, myself, and my husband and we

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: headed to my husband's ranch because before we married, he

66
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: had a beef ranch and our how the house he

67
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: has is eleven hundred square feet. Oh wow with nine people.

68
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you're camping. Yeah. Yeah. And because my husband's

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: very utilitarian, you know, he he If he has a

70
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: piece of furniture, if it works, it works, that's okay,

71
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, and bet on the floor is okay. And

72
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: so there wasn't a lot to work with when we

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: got here, and I had a suitcase just like you,

74
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: I was rotating for T shirts. Yeah. Yeah, So it's

75
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: been interesting, but but good. I mean, I I I

76
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: think we've grown a lot as a family. So absolutely,

77
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's like either like grow out or dissolved

78
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: and from people you know, and relationships have been dissolving,

79
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: which is you know, I think everything happened for a reason,

80
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: and however it sort of comes to you and what

81
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: you can of course learn about yourself or your relationship

82
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: or partnership. Um, it's important for whatever your evolution is

83
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: and so it's really forcing us to see like, oh,

84
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: what's important to us and what, um, what can we

85
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: tolerate and what do we want in our lives? You know.

86
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's been fascinating. Uh is an understatement. The

87
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: biggest blessing to come out of the Corona shutdown for

88
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: you personally, Christie Matts, I think it reflections time for myself. Um.

89
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: So much of my life has been about everybody else, um,

90
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: because I never wanted to sort of look at the

91
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: stuff that I was pushing down or you know, not

92
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: wanting to think about our work through and I'm was like, oh,

93
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: I know, the only way to do it is to

94
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: go through it. And going through whatever trauma or you know,

95
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: childhood issues that we haven't really contended with. Um. When

96
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: you're forced to be quiet, forced to stay in one

97
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: place and be still, all those things aren't floating up

98
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: to the surface. And I'm like, wow, there's a lot

99
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: that I have not been able to deal with, our

100
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: shoes not to deal with, and now is the time

101
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: to do so. So that to me has been a

102
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: really big blessing because I feel like I'm evolving in

103
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: many ways that I think I really needed to. So

104
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: so did you journal, did you write? Did you do

105
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: twelve steps? Like? Yeah, all the things any which way reading, journaling,

106
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: my therapist, UM, you know, all all the ways that

107
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: UM I was able to sort of how many boxes

108
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: of Kleenex or was that one of those things that

109
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: you didn't have access to at the time, Like did

110
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: you use a towel to dry your tears? What? What

111
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: did that look like? The one thing, you know, the

112
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: one thing we did have was Kleenex because they didn't

113
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: have toilet people at Costcow, so we definitely had clean

114
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: x UM. And yeah, you know, I've been doing a

115
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: lot of UM water shedding, I guess we should we

116
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: could call it and crying and just feeling so many

117
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: different feelings UM. And I think there's such a shift

118
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: happening in our world and our perceptions and the way

119
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: that we look at things and it all, you know,

120
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: everything is being affected. So yeah, no, I've been doing

121
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: some crime for sure. When I was younger and was

122
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: forced into that position where I had to look at stuff,

123
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: I had a wonderful counselor, a Christian man. He was

124
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: a pastor that had retired and become a counselor, and

125
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: he said, Delilah, I want you to sit with the pain,

126
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: and I want you to embrace the pain in this

127
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: very you know, quiet mellow voice. And I like at

128
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: him and I said, I'm paying you sixty an hour

129
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: you embrace this pain, right, which at the time was

130
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: all the money in the world to me. Yeah, it

131
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: was like, wait, I'm paying you to make this pain

132
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: go away. Okay, That's what I was young, you know,

133
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: and I thought, I'm going to go to therapy. I'm

134
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: gonna talk for a few minutes, and then I'm going

135
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: to be all better. M h. I know. I don't

136
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: want to feel these feelings. Yeah, that's the whole point

137
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: of where we do all the things that we do, right, Like,

138
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: we have these uh I don't want not everybody has addictions,

139
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: but things to fill the void, whether we're shopping or

140
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: social media or drugs, alcohol, food, whatever you name it,

141
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: whatever is accessible to us because we don't want to

142
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: feel the hard feelings. We don't want to sit with

143
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: the feelings because it's uncomfortable and if we've never felt

144
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: them before, you're like, wait, what is this? What in

145
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: the hell is this? Um, then it's hard it's hard,

146
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: but it's important, it's necessary. And UM, I gotta say,

147
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: last year when I interviewed you because you had done Breakthrough,

148
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: how did we not talk about your beautiful singing voice?

149
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: How did how did we miss that part of the conversation.

150
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think, you know, there's just so

151
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: much to talk about with with break thing in particular,

152
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: so maybe that's something we just you know, we're focused on.

153
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, for me, music has been my

154
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: first love. It's been what I wanted to do and

155
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: so healing for me. When I used to go to

156
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: church on my own, I went there because I loved

157
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: the music and I could connect through the music. And

158
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: that's something that I think everybody understands that they're music lovers.

159
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: It's a universal language. And you know, now working on

160
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: an album and having a single out and all of it,

161
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: my little girl dreams are you know, really coming true.

162
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's so surreal, it's so wonderful. So

163
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: when you're on um this is us that your character

164
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Keith Pearson sings is a singer, is a performer, but

165
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: never really seems like the character development over the last

166
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: four years. She never really gets to to do that

167
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: breakthrough thing where she has a single right, which I

168
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: would kind of like to talk to the writers about that,

169
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: because I she should, but you know, there is two

170
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: more seasons for sure in real life you get to

171
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: do that. How cool is that? I know? It's such

172
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: a gift and it's not lost on me that you know,

173
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: just having the ability to use your voice is a

174
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: huge deal, and then to have people want to listen

175
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: to it is another huge deal. And to just share

176
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: things that means something to me and things that I've

177
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: been going through, our gone through, and to to put

178
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: those experiences to a beautiful melody and to create music,

179
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: it's unreal. And then all the musicians who are involved

180
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: in the producers and everybody that makes you know, the

181
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: whole machine work. It's such a gift and I can't

182
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: even express how grateful I am for it because it's

183
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: such a I don't want to say luxury because it's

184
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: a necessity, but it's it's feels very luxurious. So so

185
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: when you were a kid, you said, this is your

186
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: little girl grown up dream. When you were a kid,

187
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: um school choir, church choir, where did you find your

188
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,479
Speaker 1: voice to perform? Yes, I used to make little video, um,

189
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: little tape from my boom box in my room. I

190
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: was just like making up melodies and singing, but I

191
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: was too afraid to share that with anybody. But music

192
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: was always, you know, always singing. And then in middle

193
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: school and my mom couldn't afford an instrument for a band, um,

194
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: but all the cool kids were a band. I was

195
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: like a great and so choir obviously free and I

196
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: could you know, go and do that. And so I

197
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: really was like, oh, this is where I was supposed

198
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: to be all along, and then to learn how to

199
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: sort of blend with many people's voices but also still

200
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: have your own, and it just sort of opened up

201
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: something for me. And then it wasn't until high school,

202
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: my senior year, where I actually had enough courage to

203
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: join for auditions for the chamber choir, which was a

204
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: competitive choir, and we did state and all those things,

205
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: and my acquire teacher, Ms. Roll Ill, I'll never forget,

206
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: she's so in the mental She like really encouraged me

207
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: to do a solo that year, and I was like,

208
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, oh my god, this is this makes

209
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: me so happy, and then she nominated me to do

210
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: um to have a scholarship for a chorl camp at

211
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: the University of Florida, and that was like, oh yeah, okay,

212
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: no question. So that was sort of, you know, a

213
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: bit of a journey. But I just had to keep

214
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 1: sort of having these experiences to know that that's what

215
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. So yeah, a long time. But

216
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: then when I met my manager, she was like, let's

217
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: put music to the side and let's focus on acting.

218
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait, what, So hence the reason why,

219
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, I put the long way around. Yeah, but

220
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: that acting thing didn't turn out so bad for you,

221
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, Oh my gosh, it's what I wanted to do.

222
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: Like I've always wanted to tell stories, whether they were

223
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: to music or you know, on TV and film. So

224
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: it's exactly what was supposed to happen, because I don't

225
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: think I would be as vulnerable in my music if

226
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: I didn't have the vulnerability of the character and of

227
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: the show. You know, I have lots of kids, and

228
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: so I've I've gone through phases of parenting because my

229
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: oldest is now forty one and my youngest is four,

230
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: and for about ten fifteen years in my parenting career,

231
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: I had kids that loved music, that loved music, so

232
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: I got to be the choir mom and go on

233
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: the field trips and take them to their state competitions,

234
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, they were all about I had

235
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: four that were all about drama and music. And it

236
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: was such a joy because I can't sing a damn note,

237
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: but I love music. It courses through my veins, it

238
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: it plays in my head, it speaks to me in

239
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. I wake up and write lyrics,

240
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: but I can't sing. Okay, I can sing a note.

241
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: I have a three note range. That's it. So so

242
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: long as the tune is in my three note range.

243
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, Happy Birthday to you exceeds my

244
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: three note range. Um, you know, but I love it

245
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: so much. And so I miss what was her name,

246
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: your miss Rollo, your acquired teacher. I know the thrills

247
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: she must have felt encouraging you to do the solo

248
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: and to see like I can feel her feelings, to

249
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: see that talent blossom because I got to do it

250
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: with Shayla and Zach and Christie and and my kids,

251
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: and it's there is nothing in my life as joyful

252
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: as seeing my kids discover their talent and then spread

253
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: their wings and fly. So I bet your mom and

254
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: miss Rollo we're just cheering you on and so thrilled

255
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: to see that happen. And now if there's still a

256
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: part of your life that must be such a thrill

257
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: for them. Well, yeah, I can understand because I know

258
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: how and I, you know, encourage and champion and cheer

259
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: lead people that I love and I want, you know,

260
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: to see them happy and exceed. I do know that feeling,

261
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, not as a mother, but as as a

262
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: friend and as a sister. And I get it. I

263
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: do get it. So talk to me about talking to God.

264
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: How did this come about? Well, interestingly enough, I didn't

265
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: co write this song. It was on an Ashley McBride

266
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: writer's retreat that it was written, and I, you know,

267
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: friendly was Ashley and with the other writers. And my

268
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: manager was like, oh, you know Nicolette, who was a

269
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: dear friend and we've written a lot together that will

270
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: be on my EP and my album. But she's like, oh,

271
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, Nicolete wrote a song the song today, You're

272
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: probably gonna like it. And he just was sending it

273
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: to me because I love to hear everything and I

274
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute, like, who's cutting this and

275
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: he's like, I don't. I don't know. I don't know

276
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: if actually it or not. And I'm like, well, if

277
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: she's not, I feel like I want to tell this story,

278
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: Like I know what it's like to, you know, have

279
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: remorse about doing something or not doing something, or saying

280
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: something or not saying something, and thinking about somebody, even

281
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: if they're not in your life anymore, or if they've

282
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: passed all or if I'm you know, I was married

283
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: for many years and obviously I've I've grown tremendously from

284
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: that relationship and relationship since, but you know, I know

285
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: what it's like to think of I think we all

286
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: do to think about someone who may not be in

287
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: our lives, but like we can still think about them,

288
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: and that we can learn how to forgive ourselves and

289
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: how we just moved gracefully through the world. And so

290
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: it just for the song that I was like, I

291
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: want to I want to tell the story. Can I

292
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: sing it? So that's how it came about move gracefully

293
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: through this world. When I think about some of the

294
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: people in my past, I'm not I'm not really moving gracefully.

295
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: I agree I'm trying. I'm trying, but I'm trying. I'm trying.

296
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: So the first time I heard the song, somebody had

297
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: mentioned you had released a song. This was before you know.

298
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: I called my sister and I'm like, oh my gosh,

299
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: you've got to hear this. You've got to get ahold

300
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: of Christie. You've got I got to talk to her

301
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: about this because somebody had sent it to me, a friend,

302
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: knowing how much I miss my son, and they said,

303
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: I think God wants you to hear this song today.

304
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: Oh my God, and Chrissie. I was bawling in the

305
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: car because I talked to God every day to tell

306
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: my kids I have two boys in heaven now three

307
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: because we just lost my steps on. But I was

308
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: a wreck. I mean I was sobbing the ugly tears

309
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: the first time I listened to it, And then the

310
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: next time I listened to it, I thought about past relationships.

311
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: You know, I've been divorced more than once, and the

312
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: forgiveness and the grace that has come with time, and

313
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: forgiving myself for some pretty bad choices I made. And

314
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just kept every time I listened

315
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: to it, it would bring up a new layer of

316
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: God's grace and love and mercy and healing. And so

317
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: I called my podcast producer and I said, I you

318
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: to talk to Christy about this song because it is

319
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: so beautiful and so moving, and I know that if

320
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: other people could just like wrap their ears around it

321
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: and wrap their heart around it, God can use it

322
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: for good. Thank you so much, so so beautiful, and

323
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's why I get it, you know, that's

324
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: why I love music so much. And I you know,

325
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: I love a good song because it is so healing

326
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: and you feel like, wow, I'm so a little less

327
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: alone because somebody else is going through it and it's

328
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: so beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with me. And

329
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: that's what I felt when I when I heard the song,

330
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, I just this is about it.

331
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: It's got to be heard. So yeah, I think it's

332
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: a special song for many reasons and for many people.

333
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: So I'm just grateful to be able to sing it.

334
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: So with everything the world is going through right now,

335
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: not just communities, not just families, but the world. Yes,

336
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: I think that we need this song now more than

337
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: ever because I think if we didn't have God to

338
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: talk to, how would we get through this. I don't know.

339
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know. I really don't know. And you know,

340
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: so grateful that we we do have that conscious contact

341
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: with God because it is it's been difficult, you know,

342
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: and and we don't even understand other people's plates and

343
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: how people have been hoping and dealing with their own

344
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: lives for so long. So yeah, there's a lot going

345
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: on run and I I feel like it's a positive

346
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: shift in the right direction of just knowing that we

347
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: are all more like than we are different, and that

348
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: we're all equal, and that we an't want the same thing,

349
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: which is to be loved. So I know you can't

350
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: answer this because we don't know the time one on anything.

351
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: But do you think by the end of the year

352
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: we can get the full the full album? How many

353
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: songs have you done? Yeah, I would like to have

354
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: the full album done by the end of the year. Um,

355
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: we have five songs right now that we finished prior

356
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: to Quarantine that we're going to release on an EP

357
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: by I believe September. And then the second song that's

358
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: coming out I did so write and it's called Actress

359
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a sad breakup song, and I'm

360
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: really excited about that one too, and that should be

361
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: coming out with UM probably the next months. Wow, So

362
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: you've been busy and are you doing all the Zoom

363
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: meetings and publicity from your whole year? Oh? Yes, I

364
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: mean I'm so spoiled because I just walked into the

365
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: living room and I'm like, oh, here, here, I am

366
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: on a radio tour and I'm not traveling around the country.

367
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, do you have like a curling

368
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: iron plugged into the wall there, and so when you're

369
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: off camera you're putting that's what I do? Yeah, you

370
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: haven't touch it up myself. Yeah, I mean it's I mean,

371
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: I love makeup and here, and you know I used

372
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: to it myself. I wasn't amazing at it, but I'm like, well,

373
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: I gets a home these skills and figure it out

374
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: and you know, do the best I can. But it's

375
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: so funny the progression. So like initially people were like

376
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: in the pajamas, don't care what their hair and whatever,

377
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: and then now like slowly people are like, oh gosh,

378
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: I want to feel some sort of sense of normal ty,

379
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put on some clothes. I wouldna do

380
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: my hair, I would do my makeup, you know. So

381
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: it's been it's been really cool to see that sort

382
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: of unfold. In my house, it went the opposite direction

383
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: because my girls were all doing online school. So I

384
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: have three girls that are all doing online school, and

385
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the first week or two weeks, maybe even three weeks,

386
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: they would get up and they would you know, fix

387
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: their hair and and look cute for their classmates. And

388
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: then you know, by the end of the school year,

389
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: which just finished, they're laying in bed like pajamas on.

390
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: They haven't even brushed their teeth in you know, the

391
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: whole day. And I'm like, okay, yeah, I'll do this

392
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: last sign. But I'm like, wow, how did we go

393
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: from wanting to look cute for the boys in your

394
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: school to this? And they're like, Mom, it doesn't matter

395
00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: at this point, don care at this point. True, It's true,

396
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, what makes me feel good? What do

397
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: I want to do? What do I not want to do?

398
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: So any chance that are we having discussions about the

399
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: next season of This Is Us? Yeah, I mean we

400
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: have a Zoom call scheduled this week, so we're going

401
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: to sort of find out what and how it's going

402
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: to look if when all that, Um, I know that

403
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: there's so many regulations because the actors have to be

404
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: protected and since we won't have PPE and the crew can, like,

405
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: what does that look like? So I think we're just

406
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: between the executives and the studios and everyone just trying

407
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: to figure out what's going to be the best safest road.

408
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll find some clarity, um the next couple

409
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: of days. But they were saying possibly September. We usually

410
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: go back in July, so I don't know, but I'm

411
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, I started on radio, like, so

412
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: if the storyline had to have like a dedication for

413
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: the family throughout the ages, I'm just putting it out there. Okay, Okay,

414
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: thank you. You know, we could just use my studio

415
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: and the request line right here and I could do

416
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: dedications to the Pearson family over four decades. I'm just saying, okay, okay,
