WEBVTT - JOSH GROBAN

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Happy Days from the Welcome Back my Friend to Love

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Someone with Delilah, my podcast that I love, love love doing,

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>even people that I've known for a long long time.

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>For instance, today's guest, I have known him since he

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>was a very talented, but very nervous teenager. He was

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>a newbie. He and his anxious parents came into my

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>studio right out of high school. I've watched him mesmerized

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>crowds with his voice, his voice that is the voice

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>of an angel. I have seen him stretch, reach, grow

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>in might and maturity and in the ways of the heart.

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Today's guest is nearly synonymous with the Delilah Show and Christmas.

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>He's a man of grace, of dignity, of unflappable positivity.

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>He's followed by millions. He's adorable. He's got the most

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>beautiful curls and the sweetest smile and a huge art.

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>And if he still gets nervous like he was before

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>his first concert that I went to, you'd never know it.

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll be catching up with my good friend Josh Grobin today,

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Considering everything? I think you know, nobody's doing well well

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>right now. But I've got a lot to be grateful

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>for and have my health and have music, so that

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>those two things I'm very lucky right now. Amen to that.

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Are you still in the Big Apple? Where are you? No?

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm in Los Angeles. I've been here. I've

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>been here to the course of the pandemic. I was

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>in Florida when everything went in to lockdown seven months

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>ago and on tour and uh we shut down, and

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, my family's here and and uh I wanted

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>to be able to look after my parents and um,

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 1>and it just, you know, felt it felt more spread

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>out to be here. This is my original hometown, and

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>uh in New York, you know, especially at that time,

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>felt like it would be very hard to get through this,

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>this in a place so crowded that I missed New

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>York very much. I bet, I bet they miss you.

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>But you're you're at home. Your folks are well, they are,

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>they are well. Um, you know, I'm just I've wrapped

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>them and bubble wrapped and um trying to do the

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>same for myself as much as possible. And yeah, it's

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>been it's been a really crazy crazy you know, a

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>few months finishing an album and writing and trying to

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>learn how to cook and trying to keep myself sane

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and and and you and your your family, everybody, everybody

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>even been okay. Yeah, as soon as it hit, UM,

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I packed up the kids and headed to my hubbies rant.

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>For the same reason that you're you're speaking of. I

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>took my in laws because they're in their eighties and

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to be in a safer place and

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and I already knew how to cook. And so I've

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>got the COVID twenty that I've gained since being shut in. Um,

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that's not a good thing, you know, it's a badge

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 1>of honor. I think that it just means that we've

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>been we've been nourishing ourselves and nourishing those around us. Uh,

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 1>because food and love. So I think that's I think

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>that's uh, that's good. Yeah, well, my my ankles might

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>disagree with you. That is good. But in our family,

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>food is definitely love and I love to feed my family.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>And so, um, while you were recording an album, I

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>was baking sour dough. You know, That's what happened. I

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>think everybody decided they wanted to be to bake. Also

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>during these last seven months, I have, you know, because

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I traveled so much. I tour so much. I'm always

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>just kind of getting room service and whatever is the

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>bus after a show, and you know, so I never

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>really had the bug the culinary bug to kind of

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>craft in the kitchen. I was always too impatient. I

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>wanted to eat all the ingredients. That's where I cooked them.

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>And there's something about having all this time too just

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, take a time out. I realized the cooking

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>is very similar to music. You know, you have a

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of ingredients, you have a lot of notes, and

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 1>they don't all seem like they're going to go together

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>at first, and then all of a sudden, you take

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 1>your time and you learn techniques and you actually craft

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>something quite wonderful, and then it is. It is nourishing.

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.919
<v Speaker 1>I like to I like to serve food in the

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>same way I like to serve music. So it's been

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>a fun, fun escape for me. I am very frustrated

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of the stuff. I can't even imagine

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 1>for somebody who's used to touring and performing as much

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>as you are, how much change you've had to deal with.

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 1>But I have loved the slow down and the opportunity

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to spend more intense time, intimate time with my family.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 1>M hm, I you know, I think they're there. We

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>we all for our own mental health. We have to

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>find silver linings in this tragedy. Of the year that

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 1>we've had. And I know I speak for so many

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 1>people in the music and touring and theater industries. Uh,

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>this has just been an absolutely beyond devastating time for

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>for everybody who relies on every facet of live performance,

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the cruise, the people who are are you know, help

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>us get from pointing to point b, everybody in the

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 1>travel industry, everybody who works behind the scenes, in front

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>of the scenes, um my, my Broadway brethren. Uh, it's

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>just been it's been a time of such such a

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>rug being pulled out and so um you know, it

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>has been so so hard, and I do hope that

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>the silver lining for everybody getting through these hard times

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>is hopefully that we just take stock in what the

0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>simple important things are in our lives, you know, to

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>have a to have a mandatory time out for everybody

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that there is no there is no hedonic you know,

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>treadmill to keep running on. We all have to we

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>all have to take a step back and take stock.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of gratitude, there's a lot of focusing

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>on our families and our friends, on connecting, on having

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 1>a call that's more than five minutes long. Um, And

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>so you know if and when, because we will get

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>through this. I hope, we hope we we hang onto

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever slivers of good that came from from the time

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>out in the quiet. So there's a sliver of good

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>that's coming out the end of November. Your new album, Harmony,

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I almost called it that I chose Harmony

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 1>of the sliver of good would have been would have

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>been a good. Uh, sliver of good would have been great. Um,

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Harmony probably describes it a little bit better. Um, you

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>got some timeless songs on there. You've got some new

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 1>songs on the air. I just got to listen to

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the Impossible dream that is on there, that is so

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>dreamy and so layered with richness. Um. And and just

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.080
<v Speaker 1>so tell me you start, how many songs did you

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>have done when when COVID hit? So we had to

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>we had the album about half done when COVID hit. Um.

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>And you know that the album prior to this one

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>was very personal. I've done a lot of writing, and

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I just on this one, I really wanted to, you know,

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>interpret sing my face off and just sing some songs

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:33.720
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to sing for a long time. The

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.439
<v Speaker 1>fans have been requesting you know, for years and years

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and years and try to find kind of new relevance

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:44.079
<v Speaker 1>and freshness in these classic and timeless stories and melodies.

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.719
<v Speaker 1>And so half of them were done. And then when

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>everything turned to one eight Um, two things happened. One

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 1>was that finding songs that were classics all of a sudden,

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>as as these amazing songs often do, had new fresh

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>meaning in the times that we're in, you know, choosing

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a song like impossible Dream of both sides now, Um,

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I sang them with way more I think, meaning in

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>relevance to today's and I would have if I had

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>started to sing them five or six months ago. So um.

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>And then the original songs weren't supposed to be on

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the album. I you know, I think there's a lot

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>of us when we have a lot of time to

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 1>just sit and right, a lot of feeling came out

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>musically that we're unexpected. And I gave them to the

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>label and I said, you know, these are these came

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>out and I wasn't expecting them to make it, and they,

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to their credits, said these are right for right now

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and um, and so the album took some turns, as

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.959
<v Speaker 1>I think everybody's lives have taken and so harmony is

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>really about trying to trying to come together with songs

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>both original and classic that that made me feel better

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 1>to sing them, and hopefully people will feel better to

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>listen to them. So you had months of shutdown, you

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>had months with your family, you had months of introspection,

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you had time to write, to record. Tell me, yeah, yeah,

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>sweatpants are not my friend. They lie, they lie to me.

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I spend so much time wearing a suit

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>in my life that that like that before all this,

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.479
<v Speaker 1>the moment where I got to actually crawl into some sweatpants,

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I just was like, is this Christmas? Like, what's going on?

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it the greatest feeling ever? And I am so

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to do a bonfire when this is all done,

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 1>of just all of the sweats and socks and snuggies

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and whatever else I lived in this last seven months.

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to just I'm gonna dance around the flames.

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I started doing a podcast live broadcast every day, uh

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>before I go on the air. I tried to do

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>it five days a week. You know, it's hit and miss,

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>depending on what's going on. But I think that was

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 1>good in that I actually have to put makeup and

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>and comb my hair every day because I don't know

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>that I would do those things otherwise. Is you know

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>that the sneak attack. I don't know if you had

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to deal with this, is that sometimes um, for for

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.199
<v Speaker 1>me with with with interviews and things like that, something

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>will I'll think something is going to be a phone

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>call and it winds up being a zoom. I wasn't

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>prepared for a zoom, So I'm I wind up having

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>to like very quickly like what did on my hair?

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Or like put on a better you know, a better

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you know shirt while I'm still wearing pajamas on the

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>bottom half, Like the sneak attack. Zooms are really u

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>quite quite quite hard. So I am the cameraman, and

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>I try really hard not to ever show that, you know,

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.679
<v Speaker 1>up top, I'm wearing a blouse and a jacket and

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.199
<v Speaker 1>and down below I've got on the grungeyest sweatpants I own.

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, At some point, I don't know if this

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>whole thing will continue at the old joke of like, well,

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you know that meeting could have been an email. That

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>is where we're living right now, is that every meeting

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>is an email. Everything a zoom. I've got such zoom

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>fatigue right now. I mean, I'm so grateful to have

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>connections with my friends and family and will do like

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a you know, we'll we'll open a bottle of wine

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and have a Friday afternoon, you know, just kind of

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>catch up. And that's always great. But man, I just

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>my eyes are burning out from all the time staring

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.199
<v Speaker 1>at a screen. For the most part, I'm like, no, no,

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>can't hear you. Yeah, exactly, And the fact that I'm

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 1>working out of a barn now makes that pretty easy. Actually,

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>well that's cool though, I mean, that's that's awesome that

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 1>you get to have a kind of a haven there

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>to to do that. I'd love barn sounds happen. How

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 1>are the animals? How are all the animals? The animals,

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:45.839
<v Speaker 1>the horses, the cows, the dogs, the cats, the kids.

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Everybody is good, all the critters and animals. Animals don't

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>under I don't think they fully understand how much they're

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>helping us right now, Like all of our pets, I

0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>think should get some kind of metal at the end

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 1>of all this, for that's a therapy they're giving us,

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>and they have no idea. The pound the animal rescue place. Um,

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>we have a no kill shelter in our area, and

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 1>every time I would go there, it would be so full,

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and it would break my heart because you know dogs

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.319
<v Speaker 1>that that you know are just sweet dogs that are

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>in there for days or weeks on end, they have

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>been empty. Like a dog comes in, it gets adopted immediately. Um,

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>because people are realizing what wonderful companions are for babies are.

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's one good thing. That's a silver lining.

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.680
<v Speaker 1>That's a that's every animal we can into our homes

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 1>right now and and and take them in. Yeah, I agreed.

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 1>You want one of my ten horses, one of my cows.

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I got a pretty modest sized home here. I'm not

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>sure I could look is it a miniature pony? I

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 1>could set a miniature pony in my kitchen. That would

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>actually be much better than a garbage disposal. I think

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 1>if I just had a little pony. No, No, goats.

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Goats are better than garbage disposals. Goats will eat just

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty much anything. I could give you a miny goat.

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I've got many goats. I've got goats are only like

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>two ft tall. Oh my god, this is I mean,

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>this is this is I truly, I only came on

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you and have the interview, but to

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>get a goat out of this. To get a goat

0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>out of this, you could You could open a bottle

0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>of your wine. You could sit back. You could um

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>give the wine cork to the goat. The goat would

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>eat the wine cork in about three seconds. They really

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>do eat everything, right, I mean you tows and toilet papers,

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>they eat everything. They eat everything. You You can have

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the nastiest, rottenest apple that fell off the tree and

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 1>throw it to the goat. They're like, oh, yes, this

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>is fabulous, And I'm like, really, I could use a

0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of goats when I experiment recipes. I think they

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>they're they're probably probably the only ones who would eat it.

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 1>You could experiment, you could burn it, you could like

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 1>put way too much whatever in it, and the goats

0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.600
<v Speaker 1>would love it. They would be thrilled. Long fire. I'm

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna feed all my sweatpants to these new gift goats

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that I'm about to get, and it'll feed the soil.

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>At some point. You know, you are synonymous. You and

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I are synonymous with Christmas. When people think of Christmas,

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>they think of the Delilah Show, and Josh Grobin, that's

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 1>what they think of the Santa Claus is in there,

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully Baby Jesus. But you and I are synonymous, Josh.

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>With Christmas. Well, I mean, man, it's been it's been

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>incredible to have had such a connection with that time

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 1>of year because I just love it so much. And

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I was raised, you know, having just some of the

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 1>most amazing and warm and loving Christmass And when I

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 1>made a Christmas album, I couldn't believe, Uh, I couldn't

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>believe it did as well as it did. I thought

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>it was going to be a side project. And and

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.040
