1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: One to two point seven. It's kiss FM. Lady Gaga

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: doing it again tonight at Coachella.

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: It's going to say good.

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: How many of my friends went to Coachella without telling

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: me they were going to Coachella weekend one until after

6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: they got back because they stopped inviting you they probably

7
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: you'll probably say no every single time I do. But

8
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: still you want to be what happens? I went to Coachella?

9
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: What really? What? Who all you guys when? Tell me

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: fomo a little bit. Yeah, they were driving back on Monday. Yeah,

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: driving back on Monday, got day off? Drive back on

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: a Monday. Oh look, Josh Grovin just popped in this Josh,

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: everybody ever was just popping.

14
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: In there is I also was not a Coachella.

15
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: But you know, have you ever been asked to play Coachella?

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Josh Grobn.

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: No, I've not been asked to play Coachella. I've been

18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: to Coachella and it's always been very eclectic. But I

19
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: think like in the recent years it's become even more eclectic.

20
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: Like they've got the La Phill there now and they've

21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 3: got that on Zimmer.

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: But doesn't that introduce the concept of a Josh.

23
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: Grobin I think I think maybe I never thought that

24
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: my voice would actually would ever work for an environment

25
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: like that. But you know the great thing is that

26
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: those audiences now, like they really listened to everything. I

27
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 3: was talking to somebody that they when they heard the

28
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: La Phil starting the John Williams score, like people flocked

29
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: over to that stage.

30
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

31
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 3: And so you know, never say never, I'd be I'd

32
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 3: be thrilled and honored to do something over there.

33
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes I do think that is what is so cool.

34
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: I remember when we first started talking about Coachella, however

35
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: many years ago, when it was when it was starting,

36
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: it was just like an independent festival, right, and it

37
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: was this ultimate, very alternative.

38
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: That's when I first went to it.

39
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you and have you what was the last

40
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: time you went?

41
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: Last time I was at Coachella was like fifteen years ago.

42
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: Like I went, I went early early on, and it

43
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: was that it was very kind of homespun and maybe

44
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: a little less than fifteen years ago. But I saw

45
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 3: I remember seeing like Narls Barkley do their very first

46
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: ever performance of Crazy.

47
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: It It Uh, it was a cool, it was cool.

48
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: It's still cool.

49
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: I just now now, I think to myself, I just

50
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: I probably won't be able to get a hotel room,

51
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: so I just watching it because I don't want to go.

52
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: I just I wind up thinking.

53
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: That it's so easy to stream it now.

54
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: It's so to stream it now, exactly.

55
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh Grovin is here. There's a lot to cover

56
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: with Josh. Let's start with thank you for your generosity

57
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: on American Idol with these young contestants who are just

58
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out for themselves.

59
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: Man, it was my privilege. And they're great. I mean,

60
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: they're they're so talented. It's such a great group.

61
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: It is every year.

62
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: But honestly, like when I was just standing there with

63
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: Jelly and listening to them singing. The first time I

64
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: heard them sing was like just out on the balcony

65
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: at the Alani and there was no reverb, there's no mic,

66
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: there was nothing. It was just them and you know

67
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: the sound of kids playing in the pool behind us.

68
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: And they cut through, they cut their talent cut through,

69
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: so they were there were It's always great when you

70
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: know exactly what you need to say to somebody to

71
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: just elevate it to that thing. There are some people

72
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: where it's just there's a lot of things they need

73
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: to work on these these finalists many they have already

74
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: so many things going for them that it didn't take

75
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 3: much to give them kind of the thing they needed.

76
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: Jelly Roll and Josh Grobin worked with the contestants on America. Now,

77
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: if you missed that, we were in Hawaii and I

78
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: had a chance to see Josh in the gym. The

79
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: guy gets after us, right.

80
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: You get after it.

81
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 3: Man, I'm gonna I'm gonna start doing some of the

82
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: movies you're doing.

83
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: I truly I'm doing.

84
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: I'm doing a lot of things, but I'm not doing

85
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: them with like fifty pound ankle weights.

86
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got those ankle weights for my butt blasters.

87
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's butt blasting. And it is like, I didn't

88
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 3: want to ruin your zone because you were you were

89
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: really you were in it.

90
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: But but yeah, that it.

91
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: It's nice to have the two hour time shift when

92
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: you go to Hawaii, isn't it. Because you get up

93
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: just a little bit earlier, you feel rested. You're like, no, what,

94
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna go hit the gym. I'm gonna

95
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: get in there, and yeah, exactly, hit the pool. I

96
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,279
Speaker 3: told myself, don't get sunburned before your performance clothing.

97
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: Don't which starts oh wait so and he of course

98
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: he did the mentor and then he performed this song,

99
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: which I for the first time. This is the first

100
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: time I had heard it was the it.

101
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: Was my first time ever performing Be all Right was

102
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 3: on the Idol stage, and so it felt like a

103
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: good message just for where we are right now in

104
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: the world, but also just for the finalists that are

105
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: all they're they're nervous, their whole futures ahead of them,

106
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: and I wanted to sing something that would I could

107
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: dedicate to kind of their futures and everything that they

108
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: taught me during that week too.

109
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Let me play a little bit of it right here.

110
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: This Soames fun Sam's to me, what I think is

111
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: so fascinating about what you can do, what artists can do,

112
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: is that that was that comes out of thin air,

113
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: like there's nothing that exists, like that is completely from

114
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: your brain and from your creativity and the ideas that

115
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: you have the music and thinks right. And I said

116
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: to you when I heard it, and I think you

117
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: saw the crowd doing the same thing, which is what

118
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: you want. After sixty seconds, they're sitting the hook.

119
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: They were singing along watching Lionel sing along like that's

120
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: a real that's a that's a fun thing when everybody

121
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: kind of gets it and starts to sing along and

122
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: feel the spirit of it.

123
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes you write.

124
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: Things that you just kind of need to hear in

125
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: those moments, and that was definitely one of them. And

126
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: I'd written that song a couple of years ago with

127
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: a wonderful writer named Phil Lawrence has done a lot

128
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: of work with Bruno Mars and a lot of other people,

129
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 3: and it was kind of a soulful song for me,

130
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: but it was one that just made me feel good

131
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: every time I sang it. And so as we were

132
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: releasing this best of and when to put a couple

133
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: of new things on there, I thought, what, you know, what,

134
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: what is it that I want to sing right now?

135
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: What is it will make me feel good to be

136
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: on stage singing? And that was it. So it was

137
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: awesome to do it with that back backdrop.

138
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I was listening to it and of course Idle is

139
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: a Disney show, Disney show, right or an ABC Disney

140
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, there's a that's a perfect song for

141
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: a Disney movie.

142
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: Ah, listen your mouth to Mickey's Ears, Miami.

143
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Do it like this is the perfect song for like

144
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: the animated Superstar at Disney Universe.

145
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: I feel like this is playing in the background while

146
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: the King goes.

147
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Something like it's going to be a right.
