Speaker 1: for two weeks. It was look. I just wish I
Speaker 1: could say too that I had alcohol in my system.
Speaker 1: I was so sober. It wasn't even funny. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I went through like a drive through window and it
Speaker 1: was like, I don't I can't even impersonate all this.
Speaker 1: I won't even try. But yeah, no, you know, I
Speaker 1: like I got married by all the best part drive

Speaker 1: because it was like fifty dollars or whatever. So and
Speaker 1: it was at the time like Von Dutch was like
Speaker 1: the thing. Yeah, and um, I had an ice cream
Speaker 1: Sunday was ice cream Sunday. I think it was a Sunday.

Speaker 1: was it. Yeah, every every other time, I love it.
Speaker 1: I love I love coming here, I love gambling. I
Speaker 1: think it's fun. Uh. It makes me think of my
Speaker 1: grandma because my grandma is she's in her late eighties
Speaker 1: and she's obsessed with Vegas and if she I actually
Speaker 1: should have asked if she should have, like if she
Speaker 1: wanted to come do she loves gambling. Didn't your mom
Speaker 1: and grandma come to a C M Wards one year? Yeah,
Speaker 1: my my aunt and my mom my mom, Like any time,
Speaker 1: my Grandma's probably gonna be Matt. She's probably watching right
Speaker 1: now and she's like angry at me. Um. I know,
Speaker 1: sorry Graham's but um but yeah, I know. I'm excited
Speaker 1: that we're here. I'm excited to like let let the
Speaker 1: hair down a little bit and and have a good time.
Speaker 1: And I'm really pumped to about the guests that we're
Speaker 1: having on the show today because um, I feel like
Speaker 1: my nineties heart is just exploding, because I mean, let's
Speaker 1: just first start with like Joey McIntyre. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was like the hugest New Kids on the Block fan ever.
Speaker 1: I know, so I shouldn't tell him about the time
Speaker 1: that I had a party and it had like the
Speaker 1: sheets and I like slept in his blanket. I probably
Speaker 1: shouldn'tell him like anything. It was it was because it
Speaker 1: was his face, like I like it was like it
Speaker 1: was the new Kids on the Block sheets, you know
Speaker 1: she definitely, I don't know. I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: I'm a little word um and then I mean degrees
Speaker 1: like I just like there's all the songs and you're
Speaker 1: like a huge real Housewives. Here's my question that are
Speaker 1: you going to bring up Housewives? Because now that she'sn't
Speaker 1: on the Housewives, just one question? Isn't that kind of
Speaker 1: like a no? It's like someone's like, oh, are you
Speaker 1: sad to not be on the record label anymore? And
Speaker 1: it's like, but they still ask you sometimes you just
Speaker 1: want to know the answer. I'll be nice about it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask in a nice way. I'm gonna be like,
Speaker 1: would you go back if they asked you? Uh huh?
Speaker 1: And she's like, no, I don't ask that, Okay, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, I'm just I'm thinking of what I'm thinking of.
Speaker 1: What does she miss it she's been back on yeah,
Speaker 1: and I wonder if she still spends time with the
Speaker 1: ladies on the show. Okay, yeah, because I wonder, Like,
Speaker 1: but I mean, I'm gonna ask her. I don't even
Speaker 1: know why they like, why they even got rid of her?
Speaker 1: Who knows? I have an idea. Why just because she's
Speaker 1: like normal and like a great chick and she doesn't
Speaker 1: want to cause a bunch of drama drama? Would you
Speaker 1: do a reality show? Oh? Do you think I should
Speaker 1: do a reality show? You should do show? The thought
Speaker 1: of it made me sweat thinking about me doing it.
Speaker 1: But you would be great. I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: it was It's it's interesting. I actually was supposed to
Speaker 1: do one. Um, but then things you know, obviously fell apart.
Speaker 1: But we're not gonna talk about that because, um, we've
Speaker 1: already talked about one marriage I've had, so we don't
Speaker 1: need to go on to the next one. So then
Speaker 1: I'm still very young. Where are your guys questions? I
Speaker 1: want to see them. Um. And then we also have
Speaker 1: Donny Osmond coming in the show. Oh, there we go.
Speaker 1: Will you ever do a Christmas or worship album? So
Speaker 1: worship music I've just started listening to. I like that
Speaker 1: idea though I never thought of that. Me too, and
Speaker 1: I for the first time in church the other day,
Speaker 1: I went like this, put the hands up, had a
Speaker 1: little bit of a moment um, So I mean, yes,
Speaker 1: that's that's a new yeah. And then Christmas, though at
Speaker 1: one thousand or saying Christmas is I've been begging her
Speaker 1: to help me get on the Christmas stuff, Christmas music.
Speaker 1: I love Christmas music. Actually, no, no, but I actually
Speaker 1: I have a song coming out surprise, I have a
Speaker 1: song coming out in when December. The Christmas song. We
Speaker 1: don't know yet. Friends, Okay, I do I like to?
Speaker 1: I like to? Yes, um, I yes, I would love to.
Speaker 1: And then I want to do more of a country
Speaker 1: album sometime soon for Easton over there, because Easton loves
Speaker 1: those a little country heart. You would kill a Christmas
Speaker 1: and worship album though, thanks, but for sure I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Um So, I'm super pumped to be here for the
Speaker 1: I Heart Music Festival, especially to see um, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to talk to again as Darius Rucker. Oh,
Speaker 1: I loved I love Darius so much. I'm super pumped
Speaker 1: to see him performed, just because it's been a minute
Speaker 1: and I'm such a such an actual fan of his
Speaker 1: and I was able to go on tour with him gosh,
Speaker 1: like what how many years ago? Like yeah, some or
Speaker 1: eight years ago, and he was just like the coolest
Speaker 1: dude ever. Um so, yeah, it was a lot of
Speaker 1: fun and um we have a little bottle of wine
Speaker 1: that we're working on. It's probably the smallest little bottle
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, but it's super cute. And cheers, cheers,
Speaker 1: I'm drinking from here. It's fine. Um and uh oh wait,
Speaker 1: we have questions lined ups whenever you want us to
Speaker 1: go to the next Oh yeah, next question. What is
Speaker 1: your favorite in Vegas? Not get married Erica. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: my favorite thing to do in Vegas, I would say,
Speaker 1: is to gamble and play black jack. I love black jack.
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of fun. We have a
Speaker 1: lot of fun sitting at the table together. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite thing either, Well, blackjack and craps is a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. We never Yeah, you don't know play craps.
Speaker 1: I don't really know how to play it. It's like
Speaker 1: a really good fun group game. But you know, one
Speaker 1: of my favorite things to Vegas is to watch you
Speaker 1: when we're done playing blackjack, go put all your money
Speaker 1: on red Oh yeah, because you do that every time. Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's my thought process with that. So whatever you
Speaker 1: make or like, whatever you win. So it's a let's
Speaker 1: just the winnings. You take the winnings and you put
Speaker 1: the winnings down on rud or black or green if
Speaker 1: you're really feeling lucky, because it's like you never had
Speaker 1: it anyway. So the whole point of Vegas is to
Speaker 1: like have fun and have that adrenaline. And in gamble
Speaker 1: like that's a huge gamble. You're taking your winnings. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna be out because you've already one. I said,
Speaker 1: you know, but then you can just walk away even
Speaker 1: either having double or no, just regular not not losing. No,
Speaker 1: you would do it if you if you had a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars that you won from blackjack, would you put
Speaker 1: a thousand down? Like you know, really, where's the gambler?
Speaker 1: And you know they either keep playing the game because
Speaker 1: I like actually playing the game, like it's too fast
Speaker 1: to just pick a color. Ball goes around a couple
Speaker 1: of times and then there's your answer, but a memory.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should sell it or not.
Speaker 1: When Brantley did that years ago in Vegas put it
Speaker 1: on there, what a bunch of money, So maybe I
Speaker 1: should see it works there you go. Next question, since
Speaker 1: we're talking, if you could collaborating any on an album
Speaker 1: with any artists, who would it be. I have always
Speaker 1: been a huge fan of Adam Levine. I just thought
Speaker 1: to think it would be really cool. He's got a
Speaker 1: different sounding voice. I have a different sounding voice. Um,
Speaker 1: so I don't I think that would be kind of
Speaker 1: a cool collaboration in the country world. I would love
Speaker 1: to collab with either Sam Hunt or UM. I mean
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can say that, but okay,
Speaker 1: but um, And then there's who else would I collab with? UM?
Speaker 1: I mean I love Morgan Wallan's album, so yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be great. Thank you saying that my Boots
Speaker 1: is like one of my favorite songs. But if you
Speaker 1: did some of it with a female towards male, really
Speaker 1: good question? Um female female? You know who I love
Speaker 1: is Ingrid and Us And by saying yeah, she's like
Speaker 1: she's incredible Ingrid Andrews. And then I think, um, you
Speaker 1: know who I love too is Rachel Womanck. Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's good. I think she just has like that really
Speaker 1: like soulful um vibe to her. And then I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously like Miranda Lambert would be like that song that
Speaker 1: she has out with um uh, oh my gosh, what
Speaker 1: song is that? Eastern hurt me out? What song is that?
Speaker 1: It was? L king? Yeah, like, I don't like that.
Speaker 1: That is like the one of the coolest songs ever.
Speaker 1: I think they sound insane together on that song, like
Speaker 1: it's it's a jam. Next question, Oh, how do you
Speaker 1: and Katherine me? Does this keep all of a sudden
Speaker 1: coming because people want to know because you're here, Um,
Speaker 1: Katherine was a One Tree Hiller? Go ahead and tell
Speaker 1: the story. Wait what do you what do you mean? Okay?
Speaker 1: Time time. The other day, people are like, how do
Speaker 1: you know Katherine? I told the story Katherine was huge
Speaker 1: One Tree Hiller and then she's like, no, I was like,
Speaker 1: you watched the show you saw me on One Tree Hill,
Speaker 1: which makes you a one Tree Hiller? Okay, yes, and
Speaker 1: One Tree Hill is amazing and I'm owning it. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, like, when you're in this, when you work
Speaker 1: in the music business, you're never like, oh I was
Speaker 1: a fan like you just like careful of that. So
Speaker 1: it gets me a little like uncomfortable. But yes, I
Speaker 1: watched One Tree Hill. Oh, because you don't want to
Speaker 1: You don't want to admit that you were a fan
Speaker 1: of me. I was not a fan of you. But no,
Speaker 1: like you don't like start working with an artist and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I gotta be a fan like you know,
Speaker 1: I mean kind of like that self centered. I feel
Speaker 1: like we want people to say like we are anyway.
Speaker 1: I like, for me for a while, I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're like, I just happened to see an episode I did,
Speaker 1: as always said, happen anyway, see you say so? Anyways? So, yes,
Speaker 1: I would love to hear the real story, the story. Yes,
Speaker 1: why didn't know that? Literally, my husband and I, my
Speaker 1: brother and his wife. What yeah, my other brother and
Speaker 1: his wife, my dad, we all get together and watch
Speaker 1: when I did not know this, Why are you going
Speaker 1: to tell me this? Yeah, Nicholas. Anyway, So we did
Speaker 1: watch the show. But I already worked in the music business.
Speaker 1: I saw you singing and I was like, oh, she
Speaker 1: actually sings. And then that's when I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: she's actually good. She's got songs out. And then we
Speaker 1: long story short, started working together. She stops me in
Speaker 1: Wilmington's long story short, I didn't get to go to Wilmington.
Speaker 1: How about it? Think about that Wilmington's dinner with everybody?
Speaker 1: And she saw me roll around in bed with Steve
Speaker 1: and Cletti. That was that episode, right, Um, So I mean,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool, and I had no idea that you
Speaker 1: f sister in law reminded me when you called me
Speaker 1: out on Instagram the other day. She just goes, you
Speaker 1: didn't say that you used to go like that blows
Speaker 1: my mind. I never knew that. That is insane. I
Speaker 1: have to ask, like, did you even did you like
Speaker 1: me on the show? Yeah? I kind of a pause, No,
Speaker 1: I did I actually really liked you on the show.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's so crazy. My best friend finally
Speaker 1: tells me the truth. I feel like it's dude, it's
Speaker 1: been even like holding back a lie this entire time.
Speaker 1: It was your oh my god, we do need to
Speaker 1: go to therapy kind of like a I feel like
Speaker 1: it's kind of just like this unspoken thing in the
Speaker 1: industry where what you don't just like admit that you're
Speaker 1: like a huge fan. Huh? Do you you want me
Speaker 1: to tell you? I wanted you to like to be
Speaker 1: like I loved I've watched the show. I told you
Speaker 1: not really. Next question, we're going to Hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: we actually have our first guest uh in ready for us.
Speaker 1: It's bringing Donny Osmond. Donny, what's up? So you played
Speaker 1: a song, that's what years old? You want to sing
Speaker 1: us one? That then? Then right now that you love
Speaker 1: you gotta hear the new single. You gotta hear the
Speaker 1: new song. Wait, I think I need more. It's it's
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought it was like Charlie Pout
Speaker 1: or something when it first came out. Um, and that's
Speaker 1: what you're playing on your solo residency here in Vegas?
Speaker 1: How like, how is that going for you? Are you loving? Unbelievable,
Speaker 1: unbelieved better than I thought it would be? So no,
Speaker 1: it's not just the just the album. When I designed
Speaker 1: this show, and I've been working on it ever since
Speaker 1: COVID started, so um, I I thought what kind of
Speaker 1: show can be unique? So I decided to put because
Speaker 1: I've been in the business, you know, since Dirt was created.
Speaker 1: So I decided I'm gonna put six decades into ninety minutes.
Speaker 1: In fact, there's this one segment and it goes over great.
Speaker 1: So I just released my sixty fifth album, That's where
Speaker 1: Who Came From? And so I put all sixty five
Speaker 1: albums on the huge screen behind me, and the audience
Speaker 1: members can pick any album, any song from any album
Speaker 1: I've ever recorded in my entire life and we do
Speaker 1: it just like that. Stop. I'm serious, Come on and
Speaker 1: remember the lyrics. Yes, the band made it me at first,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's the it's the it's the most
Speaker 1: fun part of the show because every show changes, every
Speaker 1: night is different. And uh last night they had me
Speaker 1: do uh oh, just some of the songs I segment
Speaker 1: I was like twelve years old all the way up
Speaker 1: to this current album and uh and it's so and
Speaker 1: then you got us. The other fan favorite is that
Speaker 1: I said, how am I going to fit six decades
Speaker 1: into ninety minutes? And I called Raj Kapoor my director.
Speaker 1: Rot do you know who? Raj Kapoor is absolutely okay.
Speaker 1: So Raj just like he does the Oscars and all
Speaker 1: that stuff the Grammys. So Raj is directing this thing
Speaker 1: for me. And I said, Raj, what do you think
Speaker 1: if I did a rap And he said, you mean
Speaker 1: like Matt rap Medley. It's a rap Medley And I said,
Speaker 1: you know, very much like Hamilton's. And so we started
Speaker 1: putting this all together. Keith Harrison, my music director. He's
Speaker 1: a genius. I think he's from another planet. So he
Speaker 1: and I put this thing together. It's almost ten minutes long,
Speaker 1: and it gets faster and faster and faster, and uh,
Speaker 1: people have been recording it. They put it up on YouTube.
Speaker 1: And now every time I start introducing this, I can
Speaker 1: hear in the audience here it comes, here, he comes, here,
Speaker 1: it comes. And it is the most interesting ten minutes
Speaker 1: because I cover everything. Oh gosh, that's incredible. Well and
Speaker 1: like you're giving you but you know, hey, whatever I do.
Speaker 1: But I mean like you're giving your fans like an
Speaker 1: incredible experience, especially for the ones that have been with
Speaker 1: you for you know, your your entire career, and it's
Speaker 1: like it's it's got to be. I mean, sixty five albums.
Speaker 1: I can't even wrap my mind around. I mean I
Speaker 1: can barely remember lyrics to like two of my albums,
Speaker 1: so like I can't even like like with someone like
Speaker 1: like I have I played that once in one time
Speaker 1: only like that was like a deep album head. I
Speaker 1: can't do that. So it's like, you know what, it's
Speaker 1: really interesting. In fact I even mentioned this on the stage,
Speaker 1: is that, um, putting the show together, it was really
Speaker 1: difficult because what parts of a six decade career do
Speaker 1: you put in there? And this is actually a true story. Um,
Speaker 1: I was coming out of the store. This happened last year,
Speaker 1: and I was walking out of the story and this
Speaker 1: little eight year old girl stops in her tracks and
Speaker 1: she said this true story. She said, I know who
Speaker 1: you are. You know the peacock. I was the peacock
Speaker 1: on the mass singer. Yeah, I was the very first
Speaker 1: mass singer. I started the whole thing. And she doesn't
Speaker 1: know anything about my my previous history or even the
Speaker 1: Donny rething. We did the flamingo I'm a peacock to her,
Speaker 1: and then two weeks after that happened, this college student
Speaker 1: stops me and he says, hey, I know who you are.
Speaker 1: He said, Joseph from Joseph and the Amazing Technical the
Speaker 1: Drink Cooat. So they know different ages, different generations know
Speaker 1: me for different things. So it was a real challenge
Speaker 1: putting the show together, but we did it. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Has there been I mean, obviously, because you've
Speaker 1: toured you with your sister for years, was there a
Speaker 1: challenge that you faced touring solo by yourself. Um, it's
Speaker 1: a good question, but you know, when you dig it
Speaker 1: to my career that, uh, from right from the beginning,
Speaker 1: I've had three careers, one with my brothers, one with Marie,
Speaker 1: and one is a solo artist ever since I was
Speaker 1: like four team. So it's, uh, we did eleven years
Speaker 1: at the Flamingo with my sister, but this show is
Speaker 1: completely different because it's all inclusive. Right, do you miss
Speaker 1: having like that? Because I feel like, because I've always
Speaker 1: only done like my own stuff, So now it's nice
Speaker 1: to like have kind of like that wing person lady
Speaker 1: or you just kind of like you had that for
Speaker 1: so long that you're like, it's nice to have your
Speaker 1: own like independence in your own like you get to
Speaker 1: be the own only person kind of calling the shots. Well,
Speaker 1: like I said, it's two different shows. I mean the
Speaker 1: Donni and Marie thing. Um, it's kind of fun and silly,
Speaker 1: that kind of humor that we did on the Donny
Speaker 1: Marie Show back in the seventies, where this show it's
Speaker 1: all about the music. It's all about, um, the journey
Speaker 1: that I've been on for six decades making sixty five
Speaker 1: albums and everything in between. So it's you can't really
Speaker 1: compare the two shows. But yeah, I had a great
Speaker 1: time working with Marie. We we originally were supposed to
Speaker 1: be at the Flamingo for six weeks turned into eleven years. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was amazing, incredible. What's been like your your biggest
Speaker 1: kind of takeaway with with your career, Like, what's like
Speaker 1: the most Maybe maybe not the most thankful thing, but
Speaker 1: there just like the biggest kind of takeaway that you've
Speaker 1: learned along the way. Well, the biggest thing that comes
Speaker 1: to my mind right now would be the fact that
Speaker 1: I lost it. I lost everything in the eighties. And
Speaker 1: uh so when you lose it and you refreshed my
Speaker 1: memory because I was born in eighty three. So what
Speaker 1: do you mean you lost it in eight nineteen. Well,
Speaker 1: it was about eighty three. It was round when you
Speaker 1: were born. I had here. It was a good year
Speaker 1: for you. It was a bad year for me, baby.
Speaker 1: I mean I couldn't get a record deal, I couldn't
Speaker 1: get arrested. I mean, my career was over, and I
Speaker 1: had to start from well not from ground zero, below
Speaker 1: ground zero, and and I just poked his horse could
Speaker 1: and just sing anywhere I could find until finally they
Speaker 1: called it the comeback of the eighties. When a song
Speaker 1: called Soldier of Love came out. That's the one you
Speaker 1: played at the beginning of the show and uh, I'll
Speaker 1: never forget. There was an article came out in the
Speaker 1: UK they said, the day Donny Osmond gets back on
Speaker 1: the charts will be the day pigs will fly. Pigs
Speaker 1: were flying in Baby and uh and I'll never forget
Speaker 1: When Rolling Stone magazine this was seventies. At seventies they
Speaker 1: said the worst day in rock and roll history was
Speaker 1: the day Donnie Osmond was born. So you take all
Speaker 1: that's the Rolling Stone magazine And I've even talked to
Speaker 1: the guy who wrote that and we had a good
Speaker 1: laugh about it because you know, my my early careers,
Speaker 1: teeny bopper, it was all that kind of stuff, and
Speaker 1: it's a years and years and a lot of work
Speaker 1: to make that jump. Like Justin Bieber went to the
Speaker 1: same thing. In fact, Justin Justin inspired one of the
Speaker 1: songs on my album called Well let me give you
Speaker 1: the full story when he released Lonely Um. Oh great
Speaker 1: song in his voice when he sings that song, it's
Speaker 1: just fantastic. It's so good. But even the word it's
Speaker 1: like it's like he has everything, but he's so I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I like broke my heart. When I read the lyrics
Speaker 1: back in nineteen seventy five ish, maybe a little later,
Speaker 1: I was in Hawaii. The concert at that this big
Speaker 1: arena place was packed. It was just screaming girls. It
Speaker 1: was It was the most amazing concert and experience. We
Speaker 1: had a condo there and after the show, we went
Speaker 1: back to the condo and I found a corner room
Speaker 1: and I just went into the corner and crawled up
Speaker 1: in a ball and cried my eyes out. My j
Speaker 1: my brother Jay walks in and he sees me and
Speaker 1: he said, Donny was wrong. And I looked up at
Speaker 1: him and I said, I'm lonely, m M. And I
Speaker 1: just needed somebody in my life. Yes, I got my
Speaker 1: family around, but I need I'm lonely. I need someone
Speaker 1: in my life. So when that's when that video came out,
Speaker 1: I just said, can I relate to this or what?
Speaker 1: But I've I've found the love of my life, have children,
Speaker 1: I'm a grandpa now and I see Justin making the
Speaker 1: same moves, and he inspired me to write this song
Speaker 1: called Life After Loneliness, and it's to chew up a
Speaker 1: stock because the reason I said that you are a star,
Speaker 1: just as the real deal he made, he made the
Speaker 1: leap and he's now found love in his life and
Speaker 1: he's finding some normalcy. I liked the same thing, and uh,
Speaker 1: that's what inspired that song, Life after Loneliness, So that
Speaker 1: the whole the whole record is full of just so
Speaker 1: many personal experience, says when I talked you about losing
Speaker 1: everything in the eighties, the worst time in my life
Speaker 1: is when you were born. But I wrote a song.
Speaker 1: I wanted to write a song because I really dug
Speaker 1: deep on this album. Took me three years to write
Speaker 1: this album. I wrote over forties songs and narrated it
Speaker 1: down to these twelve. And I wrote a song called
Speaker 1: take Me Back, and I used a word in the
Speaker 1: chorus innocence, the innocence of me do together, and the
Speaker 1: so innocent was used because the first single I ever
Speaker 1: recorded as a solo artist was called Sweetness, and it
Speaker 1: could be looked at as a love song take me
Speaker 1: Back in your arms, But it's more about that. It's
Speaker 1: more about the public, the industry. Take me back. I
Speaker 1: just want to be back on stage again. And when
Speaker 1: you take it and when you listen to it from
Speaker 1: that perspective, it's a deep, deep song. Yeah, Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: what's what's one what's one piece of advice for the
Speaker 1: lonely people out there? Find the love of your life.
Speaker 1: Don't depend on social media for your validation. So many
Speaker 1: people depend on their likes. Two determine who they are.
Speaker 1: Be yourself, you know, just enjoy who you are. I
Speaker 1: wrote a song with Amy watch she co wrote Thinking
Speaker 1: out Loud with that Sharon and yeah, it's a great songs.
Speaker 1: So and Amy. I met her just before COVID hit
Speaker 1: and she said, I want to write a song with you.
Speaker 1: And I said, Amy, I'd love to let me come
Speaker 1: up with the concept. And it took me like six
Speaker 1: months to come up with the right concept. And I
Speaker 1: called her up. She looks over in the UK. I said, Amy,
Speaker 1: I got it. Here's the melody that it's pretty simple.
Speaker 1: And the way you love, the way you touch, the
Speaker 1: way and it talks about the way you are is
Speaker 1: enough for me. Just just be yourself. That's good enough.
Speaker 1: You don't have to change, You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 1: Just the way you are is is perfect. Don't have
Speaker 1: to change. Oh I love it. Donnie, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for coming on. And I mean, you're you're incredible.
Speaker 1: So everyone, um go see Donnie at Hara's Las Vegas

Speaker 1: fourteen so he said, but he has been Um, he's
Speaker 1: still in of with what he does. Like that is
Speaker 1: like was I think my biggest takeaway from that interview
Speaker 1: is like he loves what he does. Like he was
Speaker 1: also lonely. I mean, it's all so much. I know.

Speaker 1: show here. One. We've considered a residency for a while
Speaker 1: and that's kind of been thrown around. But tonight we're
Speaker 1: going to enjoy Mandalaid Bay Beach and we performed here,
Speaker 1: but I want to say five or six years ago
Speaker 1: maybe had a blast grade turnout and hoping for hoping
Speaker 1: for the same results. Tonight, we're just happening to be

Speaker 1: you're gonna go to the chipmen Dale's after that? Or
Speaker 1: what are you? What are you guys doing after that?

Speaker 1: try and slide singles at him and he doesn't even
Speaker 1: it doesn't even bad, nye. He just dollar bills. We wait,
Speaker 1: what did you say he retired as bow Tie? I
Speaker 1: mean I feel like you and Channing Tatum need to
Speaker 1: like do like a revival tour, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like and just go back out there and like anytime
Speaker 1: I can get mentioned in the same breath as a
Speaker 1: stud like Channing Tatum, I'm happy with that. No, I
Speaker 1: love that and go ahead. So how long has it
Speaker 1: been since you guys have performed together? Uh? Last weekend?
Speaker 1: Oh I thought y'all were like I thought it had
Speaker 1: been a while. No, we we Uh, we we've done
Speaker 1: our first show back from you know, since pre COVID
Speaker 1: end of August New York State Fair. But you know
Speaker 1: it's kind of been Uh. We would go off for
Speaker 1: ten years and then we got together and then we
Speaker 1: did it, you know, pretty much consistently for since we started.
Speaker 1: We've been back for a while. We toured with boys
Speaker 1: and men and new kids on a banking. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: one was remember that one for sure? Do you guys,
Speaker 1: do you guys ever feel though that you like you
Speaker 1: you have like this pressure to come back because when
Speaker 1: you guys were on your hiatus and then like kind
Speaker 1: of back Street came back and then it was like,
Speaker 1: do do you ever feel like, okay, like we have
Speaker 1: to do that too to kind of I think we
Speaker 1: just came back because we love what we do and
Speaker 1: we missed it and when we missed each other and
Speaker 1: making music, and that's something that we've always been passionate about.
Speaker 1: So it took longer for us to get it back
Speaker 1: together than it probably should have. But uh, it felt
Speaker 1: like riding a bike and you know, we're just really
Speaker 1: just went right back into it. And after having eighteen
Speaker 1: months off because of the pandemic, you know, we were
Speaker 1: really anxious to get back to it. And so fortunately
Speaker 1: here we are. We're in Vegas and we got because
Speaker 1: of the wives, right like all the wives, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're ready to go back out on the road. Wants
Speaker 1: to get back out of the world. They're kicking us
Speaker 1: out of the house, like your fans miss you go, No,
Speaker 1: for sure, I have um one of you know, my girlfriends,
Speaker 1: her husband is an artist, and she's like always complained
Speaker 1: about him being gone, and then when the pandemic hit,
Speaker 1: she was just like, oh my god, he won't leave.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Kristen, you complained about it for years. That
Speaker 1: he's never home, and now it's like you're complaining that
Speaker 1: his home. Like I'm like, which one do you want? Like?
Speaker 1: So the grass is always greener? Right? I know? Wives,
Speaker 1: It's is a thing. Okay, least what's your what's your
Speaker 1: favorite song that you that you sing um out? Uh
Speaker 1: in our show. It's it's kind of whichever one the
Speaker 1: fans are, you know, going the most nuts for that night? Um?
Speaker 1: You know, I think for me probably you know, because
Speaker 1: you was up there. I mean, it's got that kind
Speaker 1: of like nostalgic routine that we do with the microphones
Speaker 1: that we've been doing since the first time we ever
Speaker 1: performed it. Um, and the fans really kind of going
Speaker 1: us for that one. Yeah, I mean for me invisible
Speaker 1: but you know, look one well it's not obscure but
Speaker 1: true to your heart. Seems to be a fan favorite,
Speaker 1: the one we did with Stevie Wonder, the Disney one.
Speaker 1: So I guess our fans grew up with that song,
Speaker 1: and so anytime we perform that, they get super excited
Speaker 1: and a lot of energy with that one. I mean,
Speaker 1: my high school boyfriend played I Do to Me when
Speaker 1: he gave me his class ring. It didn't work. Out,
Speaker 1: So I kind of like, don't blank that song now,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, you worked out well. But it's okay,
Speaker 1: old old flames, it's it's it's you know, it's totally fine. Um.
Speaker 1: So are you guys? Um? Um? Are you guys? Then?
Speaker 1: So you're playing? When are you guys playing? Is it tonight?
Speaker 1: You have a couple of hours here? What are we doing?
Speaker 1: Let's go tonight? Yeah, we should go and leave some
Speaker 1: tickets for you. Yes. Wait, have one request though, as
Speaker 1: like as as a fan, because I'm a each fan
Speaker 1: of the Christmas album, So I know it's September, but
Speaker 1: would you play one Christmas song for me? I don't know. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we are going to do I do photos closure.

Speaker 1: I know that was my little like I'm a nerd. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys are, so who's the who do you guys
Speaker 1: like at this age? I know? But like you guys
Speaker 1: probably don't, but like who who kind of ruffles the
Speaker 1: feathers a little bit more between between the four of y'all,
Speaker 1: we all raise each other and joke around a lot.
Speaker 1: It's always constant, you mean, like bless each other's balls,
Speaker 1: are like kisses people off both probably me for both
Speaker 1: of them, probably for both of them. Probably, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think a filter. No, it's good to admit it. But
Speaker 1: I feel like when you get older too, it's like
Speaker 1: because like I feel like if I was to go
Speaker 1: back on the bus with the band guys, it's like
Speaker 1: now it's like, oh, we're all old, Like we're not
Speaker 1: gonna like it's there's nothing Caddy, There's like we're not
Speaker 1: gonna fight, like we're just like to have fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it's probably gonna be the same
Speaker 1: for you guys to you, like you're all married, you
Speaker 1: got kids, like, but make no mistake, we know how
Speaker 1: to have fun. Well you guys, thank you so much,
Speaker 1: and leave tickets for Jana and Catherine and we'll see

Speaker 1: How are really like any next year? Mm hmm okay,
Speaker 1: hey Molly, And by the way, thank you again to
Speaker 1: everyone who's watching right now. Um, Jolie, well this is
Speaker 1: actually funny. So for the Wine Down listeners, Jason had
Speaker 1: a little incident at school, so he hasn't been going
Speaker 1: to school, but you'll hear about that on next week's
Speaker 1: episode two weeks from now. Um, what kind of went
Speaker 1: down with that? But Jolie is loving school. She's um,
Speaker 1: she's obsessed with kindergarten. And I think the only advice
Speaker 1: that I would have free Molly is just be excited
Speaker 1: for them too. Like I hid my tears from her
Speaker 1: because I don't want her to go to school, being
Speaker 1: like why was my mommy crying or why was she upset?
Speaker 1: So I made sure like I got balloons, I had
Speaker 1: this cute little sign for her and was just like
Speaker 1: you're going to kindergarten and I'm so excited. And then
Speaker 1: I got into my car and I cried, did you really? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't understand me, sad No, I just I was
Speaker 1: asking if you actually if you cried some reason. I
Speaker 1: didn't think you cried. I cried when the bust strive away. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's fair. I mean, it's all fair. I mean it's
Speaker 1: it's sorry. Did you cry? You're like, no, no, third kid?
Speaker 1: By its time to go sorry about my kids, and
Speaker 1: I'll get like kind of teary like but now I
Speaker 1: love it. I mean it kind of tearies a lot
Speaker 1: for you. What the most of them in there? What
Speaker 1: advice did you have from Molly? Um? Okay, so I've
Speaker 1: got three kids, what advice would I have? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that that was pretty good advice, just showing
Speaker 1: them that it's fun and no stress, like they're not
Speaker 1: reading yet or they're not doing this yet, don't worry
Speaker 1: about it. They will all catch up. Having said that,
Speaker 1: I hadn't saying no, it's not about the learning part,
Speaker 1: because I'll bog on for a while with that one.
Speaker 1: But the I was walking with two of my girlfriends.
Speaker 1: What was that? Okay? Okay, I was walking with two
Speaker 1: of my girlfriends in the neighborhood and their girls didn't
Speaker 1: want to go to kindergarten. So their trick was the
Speaker 1: backgrounds about to fall. So the trick was to basically
Speaker 1: there there's telling their kids. Their Pamelin and Sue are
Speaker 1: telling Harlow and Nora that the cops will come get
Speaker 1: them if they don't go to school. Well, they have
Speaker 1: to go to school. There is truancy, but like the
Speaker 1: cops are not going. But that scares the kids, so
Speaker 1: we might not want to Yeah, but I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: do you want to job eastn Um saving the day?
Speaker 1: Any other questions? Maybe one more before we get the
Speaker 1: amazing Teddy Malla camp on what role Eastern? What role
Speaker 1: if you always wanted to play? I have always wanted
Speaker 1: to play Um. I can answer this. Go ahead. Oh,
Speaker 1: now you want to know me. I can't think of
Speaker 1: the name of it. Now shoot that old timey movie
Speaker 1: that you love, got it? I'm best friend again. No,
Speaker 1: you don't even know the name of the movie. Well
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean I don't know what role you want
Speaker 1: to play? Like, I know that you hate we are
Speaker 1: the Miller's. I know that you don't like affectually anyway,
Speaker 1: you're nightly. I want to find my Mr. Darcy. Mr Darcy,
Speaker 1: so like one of those old time movies. Um, and
Speaker 1: I'm super pumped because we're gonna have Teddy Mellencamp with us.
Speaker 1: Um in the next minute. She Um, I think she's
Speaker 1: in the room now, yeah, I think so let's do it. Teddy. Gosh,
Speaker 1: you have to excuse me. I just got off full plane.
Speaker 1: I am like dead man walking, but I am here. No.
Speaker 1: You you look like how you don't even make it
Speaker 1: on him? You look beautiful. Thank you. You guys look awesome.
Speaker 1: I love you. I'm sorry. I just like probably screamed,
Speaker 1: screamed in your ear. You know, we have four kids.
Speaker 1: I'm used to screaming all the time. Um, Katherin, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna embarrass her for a second. She's a huge fan
Speaker 1: of your love you. He's my best friend, and she's
Speaker 1: like obsessed with you. I love you. And she was
Speaker 1: so angry that I've talked to you before without her.
Speaker 1: So now, Katherine, you've got the floor. I don't have
Speaker 1: anything to say. I just love you. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: She's getting mad at me. No. Hi, Hi's so I've
Speaker 1: been seeing your guys adventures and trips and it looks
Speaker 1: so fun. It's always you know, the best, to be
Speaker 1: able to have like your your best to your person,
Speaker 1: to be able to go do all these exciting things
Speaker 1: with Yes, that is fun. Okay, so I have a
Speaker 1: question then along there? Okay, obviously, I mean I'm sure
Speaker 1: you get sick of like housewives questions, So I won't,
Speaker 1: you know, not going to ask her any housewess. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep it down. I'm not gonna go crazy. But
Speaker 1: it's like speaking of friends, like, are you still friends
Speaker 1: with I know you're still friends with Kyle, you know,
Speaker 1: are you still friends with them? Do you still hang
Speaker 1: with them or what? Yeah, I'm still friends with them.
Speaker 1: I talked to Kyle and Durt and Ranna Um and
Speaker 1: Erica still, So that's right now. They were I mean
Speaker 1: we originally were. We were the Provence five because we
Speaker 1: were the only ones that made it to Provence. Nobody
Speaker 1: else could come because somebody had quit and there was
Speaker 1: fires and Malibu. So like that's when we all got
Speaker 1: really close. Because trying to make a reality show with
Speaker 1: only five people that all really like each other is
Speaker 1: very difficult. So well, don't they like want you guys
Speaker 1: to not like each other though? Yeah, that's that's where
Speaker 1: it gets tricky. And that's where that was the night
Speaker 1: that I am so obliterated, Like we went wine tasting
Speaker 1: and like I was overserved, and like Kyle and I
Speaker 1: thought it was a good idea to like take one
Speaker 1: of the bottles of wine and like drink it on
Speaker 1: the way back to the house. I don't even remember
Speaker 1: getting dressed for the dinner that was filmed. Like that's
Speaker 1: you know, because it doesn't know that you have you
Speaker 1: have to bring up stuff. And so that was my
Speaker 1: my coping mechanism. Don't recommend, but I she did bring
Speaker 1: up and we'll we'll go off of that in one second,
Speaker 1: but she did. Because I was like, why did Like
Speaker 1: I didn't even know why you got off the show too,
Speaker 1: Like I didn't understand it, Like I thought like you
Speaker 1: were amazing on the show, Like it didn't make sense
Speaker 1: to me. And then she was kind of saying like,
Speaker 1: well she's been back on and I'm like and then
Speaker 1: we were kind of talking about like how would that
Speaker 1: feel to basically like come back with in my thought process,
Speaker 1: and why I liked you so much is because you
Speaker 1: are real and you're not just gonna cause drama college
Speaker 1: drama I mean, we all love reality whatever, but you
Speaker 1: just seem really cool and reality. I was like, I
Speaker 1: bet it's because she doesn't just cauge drama to college drama,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I mean, I think the hard
Speaker 1: part for me was like, didn't I really didn't know
Speaker 1: it was coming. Um. I remember I hadn't even referred
Speaker 1: you jannat all. The sudden we got picked up of
Speaker 1: all that was like, well, because to maybe play Teddy's friend,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and they end up hiring my other
Speaker 1: friend Crystal. So I was, you know, I had no
Speaker 1: idea and I actually was announced on Daily Mail. So
Speaker 1: I emailed my agents and like, what's up? You know,
Speaker 1: like because in my mind everything, I had never been
Speaker 1: told that I was doing something wrong or not, you know,
Speaker 1: but I knew that I was getting a lot of
Speaker 1: heat that season, and you know, because of stuff that
Speaker 1: I brought up with Denise and you know all of that.
Speaker 1: And the truth of the matter is that being on
Speaker 1: a reality television show while you're pregnant and you're filming
Speaker 1: three or four different things a day, like I was
Speaker 1: just exhausted, and I don't think I was able to
Speaker 1: really be myself because you're just like, I'm not the
Speaker 1: world's best pregnant person, and I think I don't know
Speaker 1: many that are like I was. So it's just like
Speaker 1: I was struggling to be there and stay present and
Speaker 1: um also like they're able to drink and have fun
Speaker 1: and do all that. I'm like, flying across the country
Speaker 1: seven and a half months pregnant to go, you know,
Speaker 1: get an altercation with Denise Richards. It's not ideal. So
Speaker 1: it's you know, but and I think also the other
Speaker 1: thing is you didn't really see much of my first season,
Speaker 1: which was the best one for me. You saw a
Speaker 1: bunch of my life. You saw me with work, you
Speaker 1: saw me with my kids, you saw me going on
Speaker 1: dates with my husband. The second to you didn't really
Speaker 1: see any of that. So if you only see somebody
Speaker 1: in drama, you're not gonna relate to them. Well, and
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I was. You know, when Janna
Speaker 1: and I talked about because we worked together, when we
Speaker 1: talked about her doing a reality show, I compared a
Speaker 1: lot to her, and I'm like, well, we got to
Speaker 1: see Teddy's businesses, you got to see her family, you
Speaker 1: got to see in the first season, like you said,
Speaker 1: and I think it can be beneficial if you get
Speaker 1: to show that, um and show your businesses and help
Speaker 1: grow your businesses. But that would be tough if they
Speaker 1: take that away, for sure, would make you like be
Speaker 1: super you know, dramatic too, because then it's like then
Speaker 1: other people are gonna look at you and that then
Speaker 1: that could affect your business too. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think because I had a huge year last year, So
Speaker 1: there was so many things, like the fact that I
Speaker 1: was able to get pregnant and have a miracle baby.
Speaker 1: Like there was a point where they were filming me
Speaker 1: taking eight different pregnancy tests and then the revealed to
Speaker 1: my kids, which my kids like bald and we did
Speaker 1: it with a book. Like, there were so many things.
Speaker 1: So when you watch that stuff back, you can't when
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, it's the editing. No, it's never
Speaker 1: the editing. Anything that you say or you do. You did,
Speaker 1: but they can choose what they want to show of you. Sure,
Speaker 1: So you know, I watching back, I didn't really love
Speaker 1: watching myself last season either, because only seeing myself in
Speaker 1: that setting. It's kind of as well too. Um speaking
Speaker 1: of your business though, I mean you just said you had,
Speaker 1: you know, a great year so how is how is
Speaker 1: everything going? And where do you see kind of your
Speaker 1: um like, where do you see it like transitioning to
Speaker 1: is it on the right path? Like is it not
Speaker 1: the right path? But is it? Like is are you
Speaker 1: going to do other things with it? Like? Um, where
Speaker 1: do we do clothing to do? I did a little
Speaker 1: bit of clothing, but that's I mean, I just kind
Speaker 1: of did it so that I have something for clients.
Speaker 1: So I'll do small, little batch releases and then the
Speaker 1: clients will buy it. It'll sell right out and then
Speaker 1: I'm kind of done with it. But like, clothing isn't
Speaker 1: really my thing. It's more I'm more into what makes
Speaker 1: you feel better. And the part that we've we've switched
Speaker 1: is now we've given more options. So before it was
Speaker 1: you know, food and work out and you know, but
Speaker 1: you can now pick what it is that you actually
Speaker 1: want to work on. So if you just wanted to
Speaker 1: join the program because you haven't worked out in a year,
Speaker 1: or maybe you've never worked out in your life, we
Speaker 1: work with that individual on solely that. But then what
Speaker 1: people don't end up realizing is when you sign up
Speaker 1: to change your life and you're actually held accountable to
Speaker 1: doing so, which no gyms do or anything like that.
Speaker 1: They're just happy to take your money every week. Is
Speaker 1: like you really have that support and you have the
Speaker 1: proof that you're going to do it, so then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you start doing it and then you
Speaker 1: are able to go ask for that raise at your
Speaker 1: job or leave the you know, abusive husband, or it
Speaker 1: always turns into something so much more because when you're
Speaker 1: feeling good, everything is better. So do you have like
Speaker 1: a personal coach with each person or how does that
Speaker 1: work as a tier for that or does everybody get
Speaker 1: that personal coach? No, there's you know, I have over
Speaker 1: twenty nine coaches, and so we put you know, once
Speaker 1: we get your questionnaire, we kind of put you with
Speaker 1: what we think would be best for you and what
Speaker 1: you think you would need. Like I am more like
Speaker 1: transparent in your face, like you know, if you want
Speaker 1: a little bit more like tough love, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: good with me. But then I have some that are
Speaker 1: just the kindest most you know, like it really just
Speaker 1: depends on what but you can get that in the
Speaker 1: question You're like, I'm a competitive person, so like for me,
Speaker 1: I need someone to go all right, what are your
Speaker 1: goals today. You did this yesterday, so how are you
Speaker 1: going to top that tomorrow? But I know that not
Speaker 1: everybody's like me, m So it really is just about
Speaker 1: pairing the people that make most sense. Or if somebody
Speaker 1: has anxiety, they'd be good with this person. If somebody
Speaker 1: has struggled with postpartum depression, I'm gonna put them with
Speaker 1: a coach that once did. Because the one thing that
Speaker 1: I didn't sell out on, which everybody wanted me to
Speaker 1: when I first started all In was everybody was saying,
Speaker 1: just hire everybody, just higher, just hire so you can
Speaker 1: fill it up. And I refused, and I only hired
Speaker 1: from within, so you had to have graduated from the
Speaker 1: program in order that. Yeah, so everybody practices what they preached,
Speaker 1: because I know when I was struggling with feeling comfortable
Speaker 1: in my own skin, you know, after having Cruise and
Speaker 1: I'd gained, you know, over eighty pounds, and I just
Speaker 1: really and I wasn't losing it my friends, it was
Speaker 1: falling off of them. And I just remember the last
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to do was walk into a soul
Speaker 1: cycle class and see somebody looking perfect on the bike.
Speaker 1: In my head, I already had she's never struggled, she's
Speaker 1: never had to go through that. You know, it just
Speaker 1: created anger. But if what you know, people know that
Speaker 1: you actually live it and breathe it and have felt
Speaker 1: the ex at the same way, you feel a lot
Speaker 1: more comforted. Yeah, no, I mean that that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Is there is there one kind of um constant variable
Speaker 1: that you see in people that have a hard time
Speaker 1: like making that jump? You know, I think there's two things.
Speaker 1: I think that often times you want to surround yourself
Speaker 1: with misery loves company people. So you know, if you're
Speaker 1: down on yourself or you're not taking care of yourself,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you realize you may meet up
Speaker 1: with that friend or you may sit down with that husband,
Speaker 1: and all you guys do is complain and you just
Speaker 1: get stuck in this negative pattern. So I think a
Speaker 1: big thing for people is figuring out healthy, fun ways
Speaker 1: to be together, whether it's let's go on a bike rider,
Speaker 1: let's go on a hike, or let's do this to
Speaker 1: just kind of change that. And then the other thing is,
Speaker 1: you know, people's favorite thing to say to anybody when
Speaker 1: they want to change their life is come on, live
Speaker 1: a little. And when people say that it can really
Speaker 1: hurt them, like makes them feel bad, like what they're
Speaker 1: doing isn't enough. But what the truth is is if
Speaker 1: somebody is saying that to you, it's because it's something
Speaker 1: that's going on in themselves. Yeah, you know you're coming
Speaker 1: to Vegas. When are you gonna be in Vegas? I'm
Speaker 1: going to Vegas tomorrow. Yeah, you to be here? Can
Speaker 1: we can we work out? I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to work out. I know I have we have
Speaker 1: to see each other. I'm so excited. Yeah, I get
Speaker 1: to Vegas tomorrow. I think at like one o'clock. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work out in the morning, but we can
Speaker 1: definitely drink. I will want to make sure and drink
Speaker 1: instead of work out. Yeah. Sorry, I know. We have
Speaker 1: to make sure that our our paths that cross in
Speaker 1: some capacity. No, I love it. Who are you excited
Speaker 1: to see? I mean it's kind of probably kind of
Speaker 1: bad to say, but I have a crush on Nelly
Speaker 1: a little bit after Dancing with the Stars, So I'm
Speaker 1: really excited to see. Is your husband coming tomorrow? Yes?
Speaker 1: Of course. Well I was like, honey, any chance you
Speaker 1: know I'm a lot of this one. Um, can I
Speaker 1: just I'm thinking about bringing a friend. And he's like, well,

Speaker 1: to figure out a way to see each other tomorrow. Um,

Speaker 1: involved in the drama. I really don't know. Ivoted the drama.
Speaker 1: Girlfriend handle the drama. It's fair. I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Nashville Housewives would do that great
Speaker 1: anyway they've tried. Yeah, I don't think of would know.
Speaker 1: They've tried. It hasn't succeeded. Um, But but I just don't.

Speaker 1: about it. My first album, Like I, I just wish
Speaker 1: I had more of a hand and I just wanted
Speaker 1: to make my producer happy, who was also my A
Speaker 1: and R guy. So I was like, you like it,
Speaker 1: I like it. And now I'm like, oh god, I
Speaker 1: got to say good time coming on again? Good time?
Speaker 1: That's just like that's a doozy. That was a total
Speaker 1: dude fast. Um, I mean I get yeah, I hope
Speaker 1: it rains. Was fun. Yeah, it was fun. I have
Speaker 1: failed though, Oh I mean there, yeah, I've got there's
Speaker 1: a few. Um anyways, any other questions, Oh, which would
Speaker 1: ever happened? There? Fenty is Vegas wedding as a joke, sure,
Speaker 1: but no, I won't actually whatever. But I will say
Speaker 1: this because I had a conversation with someone because someone
Speaker 1: asked me if i'd get married again, and what I
Speaker 1: said was yes, as crazy as that sounds, I want
Speaker 1: to get married again because I want to show my
Speaker 1: kids what a healthy marriage looks like. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's great. So for me, it's just something I want.
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, you can still be in a
Speaker 1: relationship and just not sign the paper. I was like, mmmm,
Speaker 1: it's just it's I think it's different and what's the
Speaker 1: point in that just because they don't want you to
Speaker 1: sign the paper? Who cares? Like it's like a how
Speaker 1: Goldie Home situation? But who cares? Who cares? What? Like,
Speaker 1: what's the difference in being in that relationship not signing
Speaker 1: the papers and then the papers being signed. Well, people
Speaker 1: that would say that, well, then what's the difference of
Speaker 1: the papers? Paper has been signed? Good point. I need
Speaker 1: the papers. I've the legality of the marriage, and you
Speaker 1: are married when you sign the documents. But I will
Speaker 1: never change my last name again. Mark my words on
Speaker 1: that one, because she's sick of changing all my air
Speaker 1: flight miles and this and that and whatever. So is
Speaker 1: there a TV show that you would like to get
Speaker 1: cast it in? And what show? Well? I just auditioned
Speaker 1: for the residents of Fingers Crossed. I would love to
Speaker 1: be on that show. But um, I would love to
Speaker 1: do Ozark, anything with Jason Bateman, love him. I would
Speaker 1: love to be in um, Sweet Magnolias, and that's a
Speaker 1: good one. Virgin River, some kind of show like that.
Speaker 1: Pretty good, I mean chilly. Oh. I love this question. Okay, Catherine,
Speaker 1: what is Janna's best quality slash worst quality? This is
Speaker 1: so fun. Let's start with the worst first thing and
Speaker 1: end on the high note. Okay, okay, oh m hmm,
Speaker 1: I have to think about most quality. I'll tell Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. You're a worst quality, so fast, okay, fair? Um,
Speaker 1: you're not affectionate? Yeah, and your best quality is that
Speaker 1: you're the best friend I could have ever asked for,
Speaker 1: because you are the most supportive, loving, like you're just
Speaker 1: like like if someone say, like, make a perfect best friend,
Speaker 1: would hold you hold your hands? Yeah? Mine that I'm sorry. Okay,
Speaker 1: worst quality, oh um, you don't have a whole lot
Speaker 1: of worst qualities. I think your worst quality is since
Speaker 1: like I can answer, one of those is listening to
Speaker 1: the negative voices in your head. Not to tie it
Speaker 1: back to the song or anything, but you're good manager. Um,
Speaker 1: but you listen to the negative voices in your head
Speaker 1: too much and you over analyze what everything means. But
Speaker 1: what does that mean? No jokes. Someone texted the other
Speaker 1: day and it was like, this person said, let's just
Speaker 1: say I'm in quart. This person said, I look nice
Speaker 1: and I'm really fun to be around and I'm a
Speaker 1: great mom, and I go, but what does this mean?
Speaker 1: And my friend goes that you're a great mom, and
Speaker 1: that you case in point, that's our worst quality, your
Speaker 1: best quality. You have a lot of great qualities. I
Speaker 1: think one of your best qualities, I can't say that
Speaker 1: you're best friend. I would muld you and all that.
Speaker 1: One of your best qualities is that you see the
Speaker 1: good and everybody, even if they don't see it themselves.
Speaker 1: And I think you're really good at making people feel
Speaker 1: good about themselves and confident in themselves. And I think
Speaker 1: through all of therapy and all the things that you've
Speaker 1: done in your life, you're really good at passing along
Speaker 1: that and helping other people. I think you really really
Speaker 1: really want to help other people, and you succeed that. Thanks.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you have a lot of good qualities.
Speaker 1: Thanks Ben h Well, that's a good question. Um, so
Speaker 1: we are. I believe we're gonna have Christie mats On right, guys.
Speaker 1: What's what's the plan? Um? I think we should bring
Speaker 1: Easton on that. You know, I was actually just going
Speaker 1: to do that exact same thing. So that was my idea. Easton.
Speaker 1: Now that he's mad because I said I don't like
Speaker 1: good Buy California, you know, I think we should say
Speaker 1: it for him. It's tattoo jan. I like him saying thanks, happening,
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. I can't. I want to do yes well
Speaker 1: and so goodbye California. I will do the entire song.

Speaker 1: love Jenny in a boppy wave length. That's when something love.
Speaker 1: I like depressing music. That's okay, that is fantastic. Um.

Speaker 1: about this dinosaursk hello? Is that is that how it goes? Oh?

Speaker 1: are you? Um? So good? It's such a pleasure to
Speaker 1: be able to talk to you for a few minutes today.
Speaker 1: You having a having a good day? Yes, I just
Speaker 1: got off of work just in time to chat with you. Guys.
Speaker 1: How are you like prepping yourself? Because I am like
Speaker 1: a last day on set, Like I warn everybody and
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, I won't be able to form words.
Speaker 1: I just start crying, like when they say like and
Speaker 1: that's a whatever wrap or whatever, like it's just like
Speaker 1: it's flows and then I'm just and then I ghost
Speaker 1: because it's like the saying goodbye to everybody, I just
Speaker 1: can't do. Just think. It's like, but it's like, are
Speaker 1: you prepping yourself? Because this role has been. It's changed
Speaker 1: your life for sure, I mean a hundred and eighty degrees.
Speaker 1: It's like it's kind of ridiculous. And yes, honey, the
Speaker 1: flows and the go right, the flows and the ghosts
Speaker 1: that might be me. Um yeah, I mean we're already
Speaker 1: talking about like, oh my gosh, you know, how what
Speaker 1: an incredible ride we've had and how it's been lightning
Speaker 1: in a bottle. And so I have no idea because
Speaker 1: I cry no matter no matter what, no matter when,
Speaker 1: and how so I have no idea what it's gonna
Speaker 1: be like on the last day. But I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to relish, you know, every moment that we have because
Speaker 1: you know, the time flies, it really just sort of
Speaker 1: slips through your hands. Well and kind of like this
Speaker 1: something too. I don't know if you ever, I'm sure
Speaker 1: because it's like I feel like being an actress and
Speaker 1: it's just really sucks. And I'm like, oh cool, I'm
Speaker 1: now unemployed and about five hours, you know, and then
Speaker 1: it's like not to alright, like and so does that?
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you're gonna have no issues, but is
Speaker 1: there is there that voice in your head? No pun intended,
Speaker 1: but being like, hey, you know, like this is you
Speaker 1: have to go back to that um that world again
Speaker 1: of just um finding it. Yeah, no, absolutely, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: And I guess that's the neuroses of an actor or
Speaker 1: just sort of the name of the game. But you know,
Speaker 1: luckily I'm working on music and I'm so grateful because
Speaker 1: that's another way that I get to tell stories and
Speaker 1: it's a huge love of mine. And I'm producing and
Speaker 1: starring in a movie. I don't know when the script
Speaker 1: will be done, and I have no idea who the
Speaker 1: director might be. At this point. We're looking for a
Speaker 1: really great female director. The story is a woman who
Speaker 1: hiped kill him and Jaro at three pounds and summited.
Speaker 1: And you know, we all have a mountain in our life,
Speaker 1: no matter what size or weight or where we come from.
Speaker 1: And so I'm excited about that. I just don't know
Speaker 1: one that will be going. But yes, all that to say,
Speaker 1: I'm worried about, like what's what's going to happen next?
Speaker 1: But you know, it's life, that's But the crazy an
Speaker 1: amazing thing about that is like you probably never would
Speaker 1: have imagined that this is us was going to be
Speaker 1: right around the corner. So it's like, imagine what's next,
Speaker 1: and almost look at it. It's like like excited too,
Speaker 1: because it's like if you like this, that's there's amazing
Speaker 1: stuff that's gonna keep happening. Yeah, well, thank you, and
Speaker 1: I hope so. And you know, I also believe that
Speaker 1: everything is in the right timing, you know, when the
Speaker 1: right projects come, and you're really a conduit for the
Speaker 1: role or for the project, and so whatever is meant
Speaker 1: to be will be. And but like the human form
Speaker 1: from the non spiritual side, it's like girl, so but
Speaker 1: yeah you're yeah, they don't and it will happen when
Speaker 1: it will be, and it's supposed to happen. So when
Speaker 1: did you When did you start singing? Oh gosh, I
Speaker 1: mean I started singing really in middle school. My mom
Speaker 1: could not afford a band instrument and all the cool
Speaker 1: kids we're playing the cute flutes and the piccolet, like, oh,
Speaker 1: we have a baritone. And I don't know if you're
Speaker 1: familiar for folks who are listening, a baritone is basically
Speaker 1: a mini tuba, y'all what I tell you. I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be the girl who's who's carrying
Speaker 1: around a many toothlad like I can't even if you
Speaker 1: wanted to, we couldn't afford it. So it was really
Speaker 1: middle school when I started singing in a choir and um,
Speaker 1: it sort of opened up my world. So I love that.
Speaker 1: I'm still in denial that it is the final season. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I can't get over this. I'm with you, I am
Speaker 1: with you. Is there going to be a happy ending? Like?
Speaker 1: Can you just tell you? Tell me that? I really
Speaker 1: do think that everybody will feel a beautiful sense of um,
Speaker 1: closure and contentment. I really do you know Dan Fogelman
Speaker 1: who's our writer creator, Um, he's not gonna leave anybody hanging,
Speaker 1: you know. And he just told us what's happening this
Speaker 1: season and I was like what, Like I had the idea,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know the particulars. And so it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a wild, bumping, numberful ride. So, uh, where do
Speaker 1: you where do you want your music? Like? Where? Where? Where?
Speaker 1: Where are you looking to go with your music? Like
Speaker 1: do you have? Um? Are you wanting to be more
Speaker 1: like the country world? More like like or more? It's
Speaker 1: so hard. I have been influenced by so many genres
Speaker 1: of music growing up, but really it's leaning country and
Speaker 1: country soul, and you know when I signed with Universal
Speaker 1: and which was a dream come true, like do what um?
Speaker 1: And we started working on the album and I got
Speaker 1: to work with so many incredible songwriters and musicians. I
Speaker 1: was like, this gave me real you know, and all
Speaker 1: the beautiful instruments that are used in country music and
Speaker 1: the storytelling is what I'm really always so you know,
Speaker 1: pulled towards. So yeah, I think that that's where it's
Speaker 1: sort of gonna land and stay for a while. Who knows,
Speaker 1: I might evolve like Madonna. Well will never know. Hopefully
Speaker 1: we'll know, but maybe we won't ever know. But she's been,
Speaker 1: um obviously an incredible uh person who's sort of like
Speaker 1: stayed with it and and kept going and that's hard.
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to get get to get in
Speaker 1: for sure. Yeah, is there and is there a like
Speaker 1: a role to that? Like you're still like, hey, this
Speaker 1: would be something that I mean obviously that the movie
Speaker 1: that you're talking about sounds incredible. Was there something else?
Speaker 1: Really like I really want to like attack this, you know?
Speaker 1: Um there, Yeah, I got a chance to do an
Speaker 1: episode of the Last th G, which is Tracy Morgan's
Speaker 1: show and it's so far, so far from Kate Pearson
Speaker 1: that people are like that that was you. Um. So
Speaker 1: comedy really has been something so dear and important to me,
Speaker 1: and it's gotten me through the hardest times of my life.
Speaker 1: Right if if you don't laugh, you'll cry, And comedy
Speaker 1: stems from tragedy. So I would love to do an
Speaker 1: amazing comedy. I would love to do a period piece.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, there's a there's a lot that I'd love
Speaker 1: to do. So how do you not let the voices
Speaker 1: that um can be let in from outside people not
Speaker 1: affect you as who you are and the light that
Speaker 1: you are? You know? I think so much of it
Speaker 1: is that a nobody knows what anybody's going through at
Speaker 1: any given time. And I think that, as cheesy as
Speaker 1: it might sound or cliche, it's like when people are
Speaker 1: hurtful or hateful towards someone else, it's so not about you.
Speaker 1: It's just like a projection of how they feel and
Speaker 1: their insecurities. And so you cannot combat hate with hate,
Speaker 1: like you literally have to like hold space for someone
Speaker 1: and be positive about it and just say like, oh gosh,
Speaker 1: like they're hurting, because if you're truly happy if you're
Speaker 1: truly like fulfilled, you cannot be hateful, Like you just can't,
Speaker 1: Like it's it's not possible, and so I just have
Speaker 1: to think like, oh my, Like I remember when I
Speaker 1: was that girl in high school jealous of some cute
Speaker 1: girls skirt and I was like because I couldn't wear
Speaker 1: it or I didn't feel comfortable wearing it or whatever,
Speaker 1: and it was like all of my projection onto them.
Speaker 1: And that's obviously a very small example, but I just
Speaker 1: try to have grace and mercy around that, even though
Speaker 1: it's very challenging. And also, you know, nothing is personal,
Speaker 1: Like how anybody feels about me is their perception, and
Speaker 1: their perception is their reality, but it's not mine, and um,
Speaker 1: you know it's just I feel like we're all made
Speaker 1: from love with love to love, you know, um, and
Speaker 1: sometimes we get you know, a little lost on our way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's good. Yeah. No, I I think I
Speaker 1: have a hard time with like because I want to
Speaker 1: be like, well, you don't know me, get to know me,
Speaker 1: or like it's like I wanna like I just I
Speaker 1: could never understand someone that can write nasty DM to
Speaker 1: someone that they know nothing, they don't know, like you said,
Speaker 1: they don't know this true story. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: I just said that I hate that and because I
Speaker 1: could never imagine like my daughter writing like something nasty
Speaker 1: to someone like on a d M. You know. So
Speaker 1: but again, like you said, it's like we all kind
Speaker 1: of having our internal struggles and but yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: but I just um went, so, when's your album coming out? Then? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping whenever we can plan a tour because I
Speaker 1: had one planned a twelve city tour um of course
Speaker 1: before COVID happened. So you know, I don't know. And
Speaker 1: now you know, as you change, I mean every day
Speaker 1: we change, but hopefully we're evolving. But I'm sort of
Speaker 1: the different, a different person than I was three years
Speaker 1: ago and two years ago. And I'm like, so, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to outwrite the song, so you know, I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that i'll feel really content with you know, the ten
Speaker 1: or twelve songs that we're going to choose. So I'm
Speaker 1: hoping within the year, but y'all, who knows. I know,
Speaker 1: it's a moving target. And then when are you coming
Speaker 1: to Vegas? Are you going to be here tomorrow? I'll
Speaker 1: be here tomorrow. Well I'm gonna if I see you,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna randomly the random stranger that just kind of
Speaker 1: like attacks you like you talked to me yesterday. I
Speaker 1: love that, I know, but thank you so much. And
Speaker 1: we'll see you here tomorrow for the heart music. That'st
Speaker 1: of all. I'll be okay. Alright, friend, all right, We've
Speaker 1: got Debbie Gibson. Let's bring her on in. Oh god,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, guys, there's so much going on. It
Speaker 1: just got all stage from sound check. In fact, my
Speaker 1: partner and Joey Mac is still out there. I said,
Speaker 1: dear thing because where he he's making me feel like
Speaker 1: a slacker because he put new stuff in his set
Speaker 1: for her. This is this is why you do um.
Speaker 1: This is why you do things together with someone so
Speaker 1: that when one person can pick up the slack on
Speaker 1: the other person, you know what I mean, missed the
Speaker 1: duo calling because like one person can do Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: how's it. You're going, Well, it's just sit down here
Speaker 1: in Vegas. It's been an extended run and I'm a
Speaker 1: local here, so we're having a blast. Um, it's going great.
Speaker 1: The A four shows were sold out, so they added
Speaker 1: four more and these are those four and we're getting
Speaker 1: ready to hit the stage literally and I don't know,
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half or something. Oh my goodness, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for talking to us for for five minutes.
Speaker 1: But I love you. You're incredibly me You're like an idol.
Speaker 1: So just just like, I know, so nice to meet
Speaker 1: you too. I just I mean, you've had an incredible
Speaker 1: career and obviously you know hit songs and everyone knows
Speaker 1: who you are, and now you're out here in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Is there what's been like the best part of meeting
Speaker 1: people old and new and who especially for those one
Speaker 1: who are like, do just um start to listen to
Speaker 1: your music? Is there something that like which one is
Speaker 1: almost like better in a way. You know. It's like
Speaker 1: right now there's like this rediscovery period of my music
Speaker 1: and people are kind of connecting the the original, the old,
Speaker 1: older music to the new music. I have the new
Speaker 1: album out, The Body Remembers, and it feels as exciting
Speaker 1: as my first chapter in a lot of ways, um
Speaker 1: or even more exciting because I'm so present for it now.
Speaker 1: And when I was a little kid, it was a whirlwind.
Speaker 1: It was exciting, but it was just like, you know,
Speaker 1: I had all to do to keep up. Right now,
Speaker 1: I'm taking in every moment. I'm savoring every moment. Um.
Speaker 1: I just did my meet and greet um here at
Speaker 1: the Venetian End. People are so kind. I think people
Speaker 1: are like so much kinder right now and so excited
Speaker 1: to meet musical artists because of you know, the state
Speaker 1: of the world and the chaos and and the fact
Speaker 1: that people were deprived of life shows for so long.
Speaker 1: So when people are kind of like rediscovering me now
Speaker 1: and the new music, it's just it's it's it's like, um,
Speaker 1: it's like nostalgic for people. But I think that people
Speaker 1: are feeling so vital and vibrant and connecting to the
Speaker 1: new as well, and I love that about it. I
Speaker 1: feel like, especially in my generation, especially the females, I
Speaker 1: feel like there's so many ageless, vibrant, vital females that
Speaker 1: want to get out there and be a part of
Speaker 1: the music scene and a part of you know, the
Speaker 1: audience for their favorites. And that's what I'm experiencing right now.
Speaker 1: It's an exciting time. And you mean you you still
Speaker 1: hold the record right for being the youngest youngest female, yes,
Speaker 1: youngest female to have written and produced and performed a
Speaker 1: number one song. I'm like, come on, girls, break my record.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to pass the torch. And my ego loves that.
Speaker 1: My ego could hear that phrase with my name forever.
Speaker 1: But and look, there are so many unbelievably talented UM
Speaker 1: young female artists now and who are writing and are
Speaker 1: producing UM. But yeah, I did that at seventeen and
Speaker 1: still hold a record to date with the with the
Speaker 1: song Foolish Beat. And you're still I mean you, It's
Speaker 1: like you're still like here and doing it and loving
Speaker 1: it and just so positive and like what has kept
Speaker 1: you grounded through all these years? I mean the is
Speaker 1: like I think about this all the time. It's it's
Speaker 1: you know, I never wanted to be famous for the
Speaker 1: sake of being famous. I have a true passion for music,
Speaker 1: and I think if you have a true passion for something,
Speaker 1: it will keep you going. I mean, it's such a
Speaker 1: deep connection I have to music, and it's my primary
Speaker 1: way I communicate and commune with people. And so it's
Speaker 1: not something that I can see ever stopping, because um,
Speaker 1: I'm always evolving as a person and the way I
Speaker 1: document my evolution is through music, and that's you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's always going to be my passion. So I
Speaker 1: think that like if people focus on again their passion
Speaker 1: from the outside in and not from I mean from
Speaker 1: the inside out, not the outside in where it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, you have people going, well, I want to
Speaker 1: make money and I want to uh you know, I
Speaker 1: just feel like my connection is strong and it's pure,
Speaker 1: and my motivation is pure and strong, um in why
Speaker 1: I do what I do. So that's what's kept me
Speaker 1: going all these years. I love people. I really love people.
Speaker 1: So the fact that I get to connect with people
Speaker 1: through music is really like I'm living that dream. I
Speaker 1: love that. And how's your heart? Do we have? Do
Speaker 1: we have? The is the man still in your life?
Speaker 1: For we still? Here's not been a man for like
Speaker 1: almost four years. I was in a decade long relationship
Speaker 1: that was it was great while it was great, and
Speaker 1: then it was meant to end. Um and we're still friends.
Speaker 1: But I've been solo and loving it because it's really
Speaker 1: allowed me to get to know myself and it's just
Speaker 1: refocused my passion. Um. You know, I've been through health
Speaker 1: challenges with lyme disease and other crazy things like that,
Speaker 1: and I needed to regroup, and so I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, when there's a man introduced
Speaker 1: into my life, it's not going to be me looking
Speaker 1: for him to make me whole. I'm gonna be like, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm here and I'm whole, and let's fall in love
Speaker 1: and have some fun. And that's a right empowering place
Speaker 1: to be. That's basically what my therapist film makes. I
Speaker 1: just went through a divorce and she's like, you need
Speaker 1: to just like she's like, you you have to not
Speaker 1: find your worth in like the next like she's like,
Speaker 1: you need to just like take that time for yourself
Speaker 1: to like find that worth because that way then you
Speaker 1: can show up to the next relationship and go, hey,
Speaker 1: like this is I'm I love me and it's like
Speaker 1: you don't love me. Like that's fine. Like I know,
Speaker 1: I say I was in person, I say, enjoy the
Speaker 1: you know, the freedom that you have right now in
Speaker 1: terms of um, yeah, I mean, like my my life
Speaker 1: is music and dogs and friends and family. I mean
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty amazing. It's very uncomplicated, and again I
Speaker 1: would welcome thel the cloth the complications that come with
Speaker 1: love when the right person comes along. But I'm not
Speaker 1: feeling like I'm lacking anything or missing anything right now.
Speaker 1: It's just my life is so fulfilling right now. So, um,
Speaker 1: I love that, and I write songs. I write songs
Speaker 1: about you know, all the unrequited love or of lost
Speaker 1: or look so you know that kind of keeps me
Speaker 1: and we need to write a song together then one
Speaker 1: time that would be That would be amazing because I
Speaker 1: need my I need a good uh end of divorce,
Speaker 1: new love, find myself worth, you got it all, you
Speaker 1: got it? I mean, listen, my new stuff is like
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to like shamelessly plug my album, but
Speaker 1: there's play much. There's so much Like the song one
Speaker 1: Step Closer, that's really what it's about. It's it's about like,
Speaker 1: you know, that angst do you feel when you go
Speaker 1: through a breakup, but then you're one step closer to
Speaker 1: true love and that can be true love with your
Speaker 1: next partner, that can. But it's also about self love,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's um, there's a line and it
Speaker 1: one step closer to love and trust and being enough.
Speaker 1: So going right now to your album, so thank you
Speaker 1: for that. No, Debbie, UM, go have an amazing show.
Speaker 1: I know, you gotta have to run and just keep
