1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: All right, what's up. It's the Fred Show. Kaylin here

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: with Ludacris. How you doing.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm feeling great and I could I can't be better.

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Come on, man, I love to hear that you're always positive.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:11,159
Speaker 3: I love that about you.

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: So of course we're going to talk about the fact

7
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: that you're hosting the iHeartRadio Music Awards, but I got

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: to talk about the super Bowl first. Congrats. That was amazing,

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Thank you.

10
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a moment in time, and we just

11
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 4: realized that it was the most watched super Bowl of

12
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 4: all time. So getting those type of statistics back it

13
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 4: means the world because it just lets you know, we

14
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 4: worked so hard and we wanted as many people to

15
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 4: see it as possible, so we glad that.

16
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: That was the outcome.

17
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I was crazy at the super Bowl party I was

18
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: at I was like, we need to be quiet, we

19
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: need to turn the lightstone, I need to focus.

20
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 3: And when we.

21
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Heard that Usher was doing the super Bowl halftime show,

22
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean, the first thing everybody wanted on social was yeah,

23
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: and I was so excited. I mean, I feel like

24
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: I can't remember what I did yesterday, but your verse, ya,

25
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: I can remember, like if I was in a coma,

26
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: I would remember the seat.

27
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 4: That's the stuff that stands to test the time in

28
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: terms of just you know, as a rapper, when we're

29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 4: doing these things, when we write in these records, we

30
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 4: may think something is a hit song, we may know

31
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: it to hit song. But when we're talking about this,

32
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: like twenty years later, and you hear individuals say things

33
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 4: like what you just said, that's what we live for

34
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 4: as artists, to hear something ingrained in someone's there's property

35
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 4: in real estate inside your brain.

36
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: That I've held for over two decades. That means the world.

37
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: There's few things more iconic than that verse. And it's

38
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: muscle memory for so many millennials. I mean, tell me

39
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: how that came together? So was did Usher call you?

40
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 3: I know he didn't do it through his management? Like

41
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: how did that all go down?

42
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 4: A little John was the one that sent it to me.

43
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 4: He was like, you gotta hear this, you gotta get

44
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 4: on it. And it was one of those songs when

45
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: I first heard it, and not every artist can tell

46
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 4: you this about when I first heard it, I was.

47
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: Like, this is a smash, It's out of here.

48
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: And I said that and I was probably on it

49
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: within twenty four hours and sent it back And that's

50
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: why I was on the beginning of the record take

51
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: that rounded back. But at the end, like I was, like,

52
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: I got to be on as much as record as possible.

53
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: It took a day, that's all took four Yeah.

54
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: I was so excited. It was easy. It was so easy.

55
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 3: That's insane.

56
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: So what does one do after performing during the super

57
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: Bowl halftime show?

58
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: Like, did you go get something to eat? Did you celebrate?

59
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: What do you do directly after you have the.

60
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 4: Official Kansas City after party that you're performing at all

61
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: of the friends and family and fans.

62
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: So that's exactly what I did.

63
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: And man, I was just happy to be the artist

64
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: that they chose to want to do that.

65
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: So you were with the Taylor and Travis too, huh?

66
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 3: All that chaos.

67
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: Going on all in the same venue exactly.

68
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: That's I mean, I can't imagine the energy. I know

69
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: that it was rumored that your I think your friend

70
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: I can say Bieber was maybe going to be a

71
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: part of it.

72
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: Maybe not. Is that something you guys talked about or

73
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: it was just not his time.

74
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: I heard the conversations, but I didn't have any conversations

75
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 4: personally about it. I knew that, you know, I think

76
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 4: that when the conversations were being had, it might have

77
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 4: been too late for him because there was a lot

78
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: of rehearsals that were that had to take place. So

79
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 4: I wasn't involved in those conversations, but I did hear

80
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,079

112
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: a big kid and having a hell of a lot

113
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: of fun.

114
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: I can't wait to do that.

115
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: You do have fun. You have fun as a dad,

116
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: as a husband. I feel like you're just always so

117
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: positive you're doing I saw what you did for the

118
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: Delta workers. I mean, I just like love that you're

119
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: spreading the joy always. How do you how do you

120
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: have such a positive attitude? Because some days I'm like

121
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can do it.

122
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can, you know.

123
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: And it's those days of why I try to spread

124
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 4: so much positivity because the world is there's a lot

125
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 4: of negativity going on, so I think my job is

126
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 4: to try to balance that out and just to stay positive.

127
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: Man, I don't give in to the BS.

128
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 4: I think that that's given into the lesser side of ourselves.

129
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: And what's easy to do is to love and to

130
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 4: stay positive and to try to just continue to give.

131
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: That's what we only have so much time on this earth,

132
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: that's what we got to do.

133
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: One of the most special things that I think that

134
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: I've seen you do is keep a relationship with Medow Walker,
