Speaker 1 (01:05):
People keep telling me that, but I have like dogs

Speaker 5 (01:12):
Today is take your dog to work day. It is
and you should have brought the hounds in.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Oh my dogs would have loved it. They're actually well

Speaker 5 (01:19):
I have one that isn't well.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Okay, I just said that in my brain. Yeah yeah,
I was like, yeah, in my mind, what I need
more coffee? No, my little one, she's she's one, she's
she can be calm, but sometimes she's insane.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
But Henry, the five year old is.

Like my name.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Yeah, I love yes, Gandhi. Yes, didn't you used to
have some sort of amphibian or something?
Speaker 7 (01:45):
What I did?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I had a chameleon.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I was going to push cush named after marijuana.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I was going to say, is also an Indian name.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, Well, I'm glad you're here, and figures we'd turn
it into dry it's a beautiful name, and turned it
into Maryland.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I chose it for the duality. Okay, I like it
a multipurpose.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I'm happy. We're so happy that you're moving production to
New York City and uh idea, Well, you know what,
it's good and maybe after a couple of years here
you can do another city somewhere. Just keep moving.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Oh no, no, I've had this conversation with my children,
and my son actually loves this city so much. He
has literally asked, not even he doesn't want to live
in Montana full time either, he has literally asked, like,
if we can live here forever.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
He loves New York. It is the polar opposite of Montana.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
It's it's comparatively speaking to La. Is what he was
saying too.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
He just we don't go out in La because it's
we live by a highway and right by Universal where.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You know what I'm saying. It's just this city. You
walk around, you like experience life a little more.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I feel like we have to, you're forced to, I know, but.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Actually it's great. You don't realize how much you maybe
take advantage of it. But like it's a beautiful thing
to be even walking that is it called the high line?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Like how random and to make something that was to
make it a New that's cool.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Well, yeah, there there was so many years before we
were born, even where they were tearing down beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful buildings, historically significant buildings to put up steel and
glass as far as I can see. And then of
all people, Jackie Onassas Kennedy or Jackie Kennedy Onasas was
the one who said, no, they're about to tear down
the most beautiful. They're gonna tear down Grand Central Station.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What. Yes, that sounds idiotic?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Not did you have enough to do when you get here, Kelly?
So maybe we can join some boards and save buildings
or something.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Hey, I'm actually into I've heard a lot of work
that BET's done, actually too, with like parks, like in
like making green spaces in the city.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I've been to her her she does Huloween every year,
which yeah, yeah, that's why I found out she raises
money for the parks in here. Okay, so you want
to be cypically minded when you're here in New York.
I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I like investing where I am. I guess I'm a
small town kid at heart, so I like, yeah, I
like investing like wherever I am and see the community.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, and I think it's important.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I think especially someone who literally I own a ranch
so I can go escape into nature, like I feel
like when you're constantly you know, I don't know, we
don't we're always like living to work, you know what
I'm saying. Like, so it reverse that it'd be nice
to like even balance it out would be nice, you know.
So it's nice to have those spaces, I think for
mental health, for just I don't know, just it's beautiful,
(04:25):
Like I have to live near a park if I'm
in this city or I won't make it.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Funny story. I saw a mom and her little boy
walking down the sidewalk downtow where I live down in Tribecca. Yeah,
and he saw this little one tree was like a
square foot of grass around it, and he looked at
it said.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Lit up park.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
It was a square foot of grass and it was
a park.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Okay, that's sad.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I will tell you the first time I came to
New York, I was like a sophomore in high school
and they were like, yeah, you gotta go to the park.
And it was just I'm from the country, like, so
there's just land, right, So they were like, yes, this
is our green space and show me such mark and
I was like, this is gorgeous, like landscape. It's and
I literally am obsessed with Frederick law Instead who created it,
(05:09):
and conservancy in general, like with federal parks and everything.
But at the time as a teenager, you're like, this
is like a like compared to like it's just the
plot of land is very small comparatively speaking.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
When you're from the country.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
If you live on a rancho Montana, you can go outside
on a hill and look for far Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, but there's a lot to learn from him. He's yeah,
he was great.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
So you're stive away from dirty Elmo and you know
dirty Times Rangers and Times Square.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (05:38):
You've never seen like the characters that are dressed up
like that, and there's like five of them with their
heads off and they're dirty and they smell.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
It's like a bad Santa scenario. And I think I
actually might like that environment. So I'm one that enjoys ted.
So we're both from.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
North Texas McKenny, you know Ranch, and you're from.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I'm from Berlins and Fort Worth, So Forwarth isn't far
from Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Not at all. But you know what, So moving to
New York for both of us is kind of just
was when I moved here thirty years ago, it was, well,
here's why I'm glad you're here, because I was the
only one in New York City that used the word y'all.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Right, Okay, So I don't even realize how much I
use it.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
You use it a lot, you used to.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I might still, but.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I don't even It's like something I don't even realize,
especially if I'm tired.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Does it get worse when you're tired?
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Yeah, and I and my draw comes up. But yeah,
but it doesn't matter. I think the word y'all is
so disarming and kind of great.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
And it's just easier. It's quicker here.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
They say use oh, use guys, use guys, guys.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I don't mind that.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Yeah, okay, so moving to New York. We got that covered.
By the way, Do you have any friends? Do you
have friends here?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I do have friends here, and actually, and it's really
it's been really cool. They've been hitting me up because nobody,
you know, some people just didn't know. They didn't realize,
Like they're more like acquaintance friends that we haven't We
don't hang all the time, and everybody's been hit me up.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It's been so lovely.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I'm hitting you up. I told her, I said, when
she comes out, I'm going to ask her to let's
go have dinner when you're.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Here, okay, and then go look at like really cool
buildings parks.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Let's let's have a cocktail with the parks. I mean,
let's talk about chemistry.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Actually, does sound like a fun time? No, No, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I'm a fun dinner time Okay, chemistry Okay. So the
album came out of course, the songs, the words, the music. Sonically,
this thing represents a total shift and a life and
every artist's album and work should be reflecting.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Just whatever chapter and you let it.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You definitely in this music you're letting it, let it
hang out, and you you gave it. You you like
you exposed, you expose yourself and some raw nerves in here.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
The day it's released, are you is there any like? Mmm?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Wow? I think I'm like, finally it's out, because it's
been like two and a half to three years since
I even wrote it so and recorded most events, so
it's it's been a minute for me and I'm like
on a the other side, you know, like I'm on
a different so I almost listened to it and I'm like,
oh my god, she was sad.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Like you know, it's almost like you listen to it
and you're like wow.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You know when you find like a journal or something
from your or somebody got you in all about Me
book or something from years ago, and you find it
and you started it but didn't finish it anyway, it's
like that you look at it and you're like wow,
You're like that was that was intense. But I I
feel like that's how I cope, Like how I heal,
like if I was going to release the music or not.
Music is like writing is how I kind of decipher
(08:31):
where I'm at.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Not wonderful to do that. I mean, there are people
like us who were we have not a what do
you do? Play with myself? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
That can be fun too, that's all. I don't knock
it till you try to at least t but I'm not.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
But I'm hearing, but I'm hearing enjoy I'm hearing enjoying,
and I'm hearing all sorts of things in there. It's
not just an.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Album, It's about a full relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I feel like, no, it does lean more towards you know,
even the angry songs like what Lies Beneath that is
hurt right, so like it. It has all of it
in there, like even starting with favorite kind of high,
which is like the beginning of a relationship, with that
chemical reaction that you can't deny even if you're like,
I should probably not do this, but like you're like,
but it seems fun.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
But that's it, you know, and is it? Billy Joel
one of the lyrics one of his songs is you know,
I'm giving you my heart to break?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, hear, Oh, that's funny. I didn't know that was.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
That's kind of similar to mine and mind it's road
the rose Rose is a rose Billy Joel, anyone, anyone,
It's it's you'll love it.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Okay. That's so funny because in mind, I say, go
ahead and break my heart. That's fine. It's feeling very sarcastic.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
We don't break my heart anyway. But now, but gosh,
you know a lot of people who go through crazy
shifts in life. They cut their hair, they move to
New York.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
They yeah, no, no, Actually, I had this idea long
before I was like, and I was one of those people.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Right after we separated, I.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Was like, I already did not like, Look, there are
beautiful things about LA even poor moving there after high school,
Like that is not my city to live in, to visit,
to have fun, and sure, it's just not my place
that I really liked to live in. I never have,
so work was the reason why I kind of had
to live there. So when this happened, I literally was
talking to my theories. I was like, I got a move.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
She goes. Wait.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
The one thing I tell people if they're ever going
through something like this is like, do not make a
huge decision in the moment. So I waited like two
years before actually doing something.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
I'm grimacing. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Why.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
If I was a therapist, this is why I'm not
a therapist, I would say, you need to make a drastic, big,
new decision.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think she did have ideas like that that that
was more of like my decision making skills, like in
other areas.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Your brain may be clouded, your heart may be broken,
this is the time to do something really affed up.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, I'm excited too, because I have always wanted to
live here and I've always wanted to do Broadway eventually,
I've always wanted to do certain things and was never capable.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Of doing it.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Well, now you have the whole city at your feet.
You can do whatever you want. But you know, and
you know you've lived in New York. I mean in
New York.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I've never lived lived here, but you've.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Been here a lot. Oh yeah, can you say tell
me she lived here?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
No, I've actually wait, that's not a completely I sometimes
when I do so much work here, I will stay
for like a month. You live here, I've lived here
for yeah, I just New Yorkers would be like, you've
been loved here.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
You've been here a month.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
There's a really good friend of ours, Josh, who works here.
He's one of our production gurus, and he moved here
from Cleveland and we were talking about salary stuff like that.
He says, well, what do I need to make to
be comfortable in New York? And I said, let me
tell you, no one's comfortable in New York. Billionaires are
not comfortable here. That's the whole point of the city.
You gotta be on your game.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I'm gonna be honest with you. Mom is comfortable.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm gonna be honest, like I like, I don't I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I will say I'm comfortable. I'm highly comfortable. Give it
a minute, you know why.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't know if I could at this point in
my career, like in my life, like being a single parent,
having dogs, having kids, having jobs, like it's like no, no, no,
want to live like in a I was very particular,
like where I was going to live by their schools,
by my work, by a park.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Like I was, yeah, if you ever need a nice
house in New Jersey, I know a great I actually.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Would love to live outside the city. Carson actually hit
me up with this amazing house near him that was
for grams. But I was like, I just I want
to live in the city like I want to. I
want to experience actually living in it, going to my car,
you know, walking every day to work.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Is I think I might be opposite. I like walks
and hike.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
They were hike. But it's a I'm not saying it's
an awful pan in the ass, but it can be.
It's a challenge.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
I want to me when winter comes, are you going
to do the Jersey Shore for the summer? Like you know,
a lot of New Yorkers do, like you go down
the shore and.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I'm in Montana, Like literally I leave like after work
today on a plane going back. Yeah yeah, so I
I it snows like nine months out of the year there,
so it's like anytime I can get there where it's
you know, you can really get some work done.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
And have a good time. Like, yeah, I'm in Montana.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I think you have the perfect balance having a place
here and then having a place in Tana. And I've
been here for almost five years and it has not
worn off on me at all yet. I know people
are like, oh, it's terrible and it's really rough and
it is tough, but I think you're gonna love it.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
There's so much.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I feel like every day you learn something new, see
something new.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That's what my sister and I love, so we walk
around to and even my kids like it's I think
it's pretty special, especially if you haven't ever lived in
an environment like that. So and honestly, I just I
want to be happy at this point, like, and I
just was unhappy where I was. So it was really
cool of NBC to be like, Okay, we'll move you
nice stimulation.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Okay, where are we going?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Are we coming back to playing with yourself. Yes, I
love how I was like, what's happening with you? I'm sorry,
did I say that out loud? Stimulation. That's what this
city is about.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Stimilation from all different all different facets of the city.
I mean, from the smells, I mean, the good smells,
the bad, the music, the food, the people. I mean,
and I won't tell you this nothing against in Los Angeles.
That one in my mobs as has been the difference
between the people here and the people in New York.
I mean Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I don't think people here care about your life.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Well they don't.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Usually that's great that no one gives a crap. Yeah,
I don't care about you.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
They're like, I got my own thing going on here.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
But also, I mean they will tell you what's on
their mind. There's no pretense, there's no I feel like that's.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Also where we're from. I feel like that's very Southern.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, well it depends on which if you're from the
Sticks of the Bricks.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
But yeah, but we do it in a gentile way.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Depending on if you're from the Sticks of the Bricks, genteel,
because there's a bunch of us that are just like,
what the hell are you doing?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
You know, if someone does something stupid, if you're from
North Texas or where we're from, you just look at
them when you smog all.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Here, like, yeah, I kind of prefer the latter, yeah,
because the first one sneaky.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
You're smiling at me while being a jerk.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Okay, chemistry, let's talk walk me through some of the songs,
and I want to pay, and you know what, I'm
gonna play whatever song you want to hear today, but
I'm I have like pieces of all these songs. Okay, well,
let's let's just kind of like walk through here. Chemistry.
You broke, you broke our equipment?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Is it my first time? Okay?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
This is a nice nice Oh I love that.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
This is chemistry. Yeah, I know, I'm sorry. Just put
the headphones on.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I don't know why I could hear you all. And
then I was like, oh, you might play something. I
should put these on. I love that song. I know.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I don't usually sing like that on a record, you know, just.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Completely soft and breathing.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And this is like Kelly Clarkson's version of Jeff Buckley. Okay, yeah, yeah,
you know I'm saying it's not Jeff Buckley. I'm aware,
but like it's like my version of like how that
just pretty ethereal vibrato, like just kind of different space
that I don't think people are used to.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Hearing you kind of float you're but it's chemistry.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
In a very sad way.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
And this is the title for the album that you checkt.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Because I felt like it was. I was like, what
is a word that would wrap up an entire relationship? Right?
Like I'm like, there's so many emotions and stages of
grief and like whatnot.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
And so I felt like chemistry.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I was like, Oh, that's actually kind of cool because
it's it's the beautiful part of it that it's like,
it's amazing that you have felt that with someone, like
you've had that kind of reaction, Like not everybody gets that, right,
So that's amazing, but also how hard it can be,
Like if you are intensely in love with someone but
it's unhealthy for you, it's not a great environment.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
You know, it is chemistry. Yeah, then there's magic.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It's my band's.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Favorite to begin what I liked and with you, I
won't feel like this.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I can't again a kiss ever.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Time always I mean, your voice is still I mean
it's even better than ever, better than ever. I mean,
I don't know if I know what I'm talking about,
but this morning it's very low. Well you're fine, You're fine,
but sonically when when when you sing, you're just God,
what is it I saw you do the other day
that blew me, like, Oh you did? I always love
(17:09):
you at the last year's at a CM, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Was I just I feel like I was set up.
I was like, well, I said yes to like doing
the event because I love Dolly part And they were like, hey,
you want to do a tribute for Dolly Partner.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I'm like, who says no to that?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I love her and I love the a c MS
and I've performed there quite a bit, so I was like,
all right, let's do it. And then they were like,
oh it's I always loving And I'm like, oh my god,
I can't back out now.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But like, no singer wants that task.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
But you did it. I know. I mess it up
like spangle banners, Like, ah, that's that note.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, by the way starts Spangle banner, Chris Tableton.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
My mistakes.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Another real Happy Family number.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, it's important, important, part of the of the of
the story.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So when you're writing something like this and it is
so raw and so real, and that's actually.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I only didn't write a couple that's actually one of them. Okay, yeah,
But the reason why I chose it is maybe go
where you're going.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Well, do you ever have to reach out to anybody
and say, hey, just a heads up, this song is
coming out and you might hear things.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No, So here's the thing I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I made a like I wrote a ton of stuff
like just for me, just because I was going through something.
And then I made the decision of what's been out
there like talked about good or bad, Like what's already
out there, that's what I'll address. There's a bunch I
don't address that's just for me. But and and you know,
cause honestly, it's like that song from Billy Elish. It's embarrassing,
(18:42):
like you know what I'm saying, Like you don't want
to like something that you love and and person that
you love and that didn't work out, Like that's devastating.
So anything that was out there already in the press
and kind of was released because out of my hands
I reference. But anything that wasn't I kept so oh that's.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Like a musical diary.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah and terrifying, awesome.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
At what point? At what point after a breakup and
we've all been through them, Yeah, at what point do
you go Okay? So that hurt, that was a fire,
But look at what I got out of this that
was other than beautiful children, other than great memories.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
No, I think it was really hard because it was.
I was very I think everybody you get to that
broken spot. But I look, people think I'm so hippy
did because I talk about it, but I wasn't. I
didn't ever really take therapy before, and I don't know
how I would have survived it had I not taken it,
because I didn't even notice things.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You know, you grow up a certain way with.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
A servant's heart, religiously speaking, like you grow up and
you think, you know, I can do this or this
is what this is. You never really knew what marriage
was supposed to look like because you never had a
real solid example. So it's like there were just so
many things that were helpful in therapy, like figuring out
and hearing and going oh that's not normal or like
our wait what like you know, so I don't know
that therapy was really really helpful for me and helped
(20:04):
me focus right off the bat, Like she was really
amazing at going Okay, what I don't want you to
do is just focus on everything bad, like she was, like,
there's beautiful things like not just my children, but like
I'm not kidding, like I, until thirty years old, was
never in love, Like I never had felt that. Like
the fact that I got to feel that is incredible.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I'm getting it's incredible because everyone of us is thinking
about past relationships that totally like crap the bad. Yeah,
but it's so easy to dwell on the ab don't.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Demean it down to just the one thing exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
There's great things that come out. All right, let's keep
by the way Kelly Clarkson, we're tripping through her new
album Chemistry, No reason to fream it. We're playing it
all for you here today. I'm kidding that joke, don't
do don't support me anyway. The last one was my mistake, right,
this is that's right.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
She did.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
She played drums, percussion.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I love her, Oh my god, I love her. Of
all people actually performed together.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, she's percussion on it, and she I literally heard her.
We had performed together a couple of times. She's so
cool y'all to like the crew, the band, everybody like
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
It's like a solid stand up human. Not everyone does that.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Most people don't, like you know, they come in, they
do what they need to do, talk to you, and
then leave like right, so.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Which is fine.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
But she's just an incredible person really still just loves
what she does. Is the hardest working woman. Every time
we text, I feel like she's touring. And I literally
asked her. I was like, I wrote this song and
I hear you on it and I know, like you're
probably busy, but if you don't mind, like would you
play on it?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And she did.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
God, I remember her when I was young.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
She But that's the thing too though, she even like
played like we last minute at this show we did
in La played we were only playing the album. We
told the fans like, who came? We were only playing
the album? But I surprised with a couple of hits.
She just was like, we were like, if you want
to play on with us? Because she was the last
song we were playing from the album. We're doing like
a couple of hits, and she was like absolutely, she
was just up there hanging with us, like having it.
It's like, why why she became a musician was still
(22:09):
ever apparent?
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Well you're Janet, Yeah, I mean it's an old term.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
It's like you lose that sometime.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Yeah, you gotta get back to that. Even if you're
not a musician, you got a jam with your friends
and with your family, people that you love. High Road,
which last time me listen to this whole album because
I'm playing these these.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Mixing and mastering probably yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I'm playing bits and pieces of this song. I can
see in your eyes, Kelly, they're like, oh yeah, yeah,
yeah that one.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Well, and y'all are just now hearing all these So
it's interesting for me. I've never had an album this
far in advance and then finally people are hearing it.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It's I've never experienced that.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
So to you, it's maybe a whole new album different
than it was when your first Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And it's yeah, it's just kind of yeah, it's but
it's beautiful because it's I'm at a different place, like
I said, So it's beautiful to look at it.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's almost like a piece of art instead of like life.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
So right, yeah, well I tell you so, chemistry is it.
I'm not gonna play all the cuts, but we're gonna
We're gonna play whatever you want to hear in this. Okay,
we're so excited that you moved to New York. We
have dinner. I'm buying, no problem. Things are good.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Okay, you already take away the parks in the buildings.
But it's fine. Yeah, you're limiting our date.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
It's like we're it's like you're it's our first date
or something, and you're like, I'm not probably.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Look, it't coffee. I'm not giving you a plate with
food on it.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yet you do a.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Picnic, you know me, I'll be your old gay uncle
Elvis for a nice, safe night martiniz and cocktail. Like, uh,
we're talking about fourteen tracks on this album and uh
and it's just in time for summer, which is you know,
there's a lot of things you've been listening to this summer. Yeah,
you got to add this to your stream list.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
And I want to go back to what you said
about Chili. How you were like, oh, you know, she's
so nice to people.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I always use you as that example, because last time
you were here in the studio, you walked in and
you found a positive thing about every person. You were like,
oh my gosh, that color looks great on you. Wow,
your hair color is so pretty. And you made everyone
feel so great. And I was like, oh my gosh,
that's the way to live your life.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It was so special.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Oh yeah, I don't know why I do that, but
my friends tell me I do that a lot. Yeah,
Like when I walk in, I don't know. I'm very
servant and I'm also adhd, so I like I'm always
looking around and like, you know, observing, But yeah, I
like making people feel good.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Yeah, you know what, New York could use some of that.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Wait, I gotta stand up for New Yorkers here because
this is everybody always talks about how mean people are
busier or not caring or whatever. I mean, even when
people don't know who I am, I'm in a hat
like nobody people are so not you just because look
at this is my thing. It was like a test
with me and my manager, who's also from Texas. We'd
be in LA and we'd wave in the car, you know,
(24:41):
like you do in Texas.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You know what I'm saying. You wave to have people
pass me.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, I swear to God, in the years I live there,
maybe one, and I'm just giving them that. I don't
remember one, but maybe one everyone I pass here because
I make a point to be like hi, like anytime
I pass someone.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I don't know why, I just do.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Everyone says hi and like, oh Hi, and like and
then and then they smile and you smile and it feels
good and they do give you.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
The right directions. People say, oh, don't ask to New
Yorker for directions. That's crap people give you.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
The people are real nice here. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
So with New York.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You're coming to New York now and it's obviously very different.
You think the show's gonna have any different undertones or
be different than the one that you shot in La.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yes, I mean it'll have a different energy, just as
city does. So I think I think that'll be a
little different. Starts, people get well, here's this is my thing.
I really want my show to be live, but I
don't think they'll let me go live because of my mouth.
So yeah, they're like, uh, that'd be a real hardcore.
But like I just get especially when I'm tired. It
(25:43):
just comes out just the trash in me, Like yeah,
but I honestly that is a thing. Like I was
a huge man of rosi O'Donnell and she did her
show here and it was live. So maybe like one
day we work to live. I think that'd be cool.
I think I could control money.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
You can do this.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
We know what we have here because we're as we speak.
See this button here says dump. We have a dump button.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
So if you say, let's say you've got to go
to the bathroom, thank you, you'll just be tired because
you're getting trashy. If you said the F word, yeah,
I'll be like, oh, Kelly, let's push the dump button. Boom,
and it rewinds our show back four seconds or something
like that. It goes back in time to before you
were crass and evil.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Y'all have figured out time travel.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yes, we have.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
This is incredible news.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
He figured out for people like you and me.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh my god, while I know it feels good.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah, I love god. He's point about doing a live
show here, or any kind of show with an audience here,
because I remember going to see David Letterman and going
to see. Yeah, we go to see Fallon. We're on
Fallon On con in here. Energy here is so different
in and you're gonna you're gonna own it.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, I'm excited. We've opened the show twice here though,
so my whole show has been here for like the
first week of two seasons.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Yeah, it's been You got a taste of what it's
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yeah, y'all gave it was a good taste obviously, there
you go.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Well, look, chemistry, I want to I want it in
everyone's phone by the end of this conversation or if not,
by the end of.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
The day, or something bad will happen. Don't you like
that email?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
If you don't, nothing good will happen until you do that.
That was more positive, trying to figure this out. But welcome,
Welcome to New York officially, even though yeah, when when
do you start production here?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well, depending on strikes, we're supposed to start September. Yeah,
crossing fingers.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
So that's thinking about us, even though we do support writers. Yeah,
no one writes this crap. We just talk. No one
lays claim to this.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I was like, everyone shocked right now, all right, So
chemistry is where it's at and it just is so
damn great to thank you, nice to see it.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Dinner buildings, whatever. Okay, So I want you to make
a request whatever you want to hear off the album.
I'm gonna play it.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Right now, you know what.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I like this one a lot, and it was the
very first song I wrote for this album. It's called
down to You hit twice.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
You just said the F word? What you say said something?
Hold on, we just didn't say anything.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Who said it?
Speaker 5 (28:10):
We just it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It's all good. It doesn't matter though, because I didn't
who did it? I mean, it.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Wasn't no, this is this isn't anyway. This isn't a
who farted situation. I don't know I missed it. What
does she say?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Look, I know it was an exhale. It was just
an exhale. Didn't hear it, and it was like it
was halfway and then I beg, okay, all right, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
If you just missed a few sentences, it's because someone
said a bad word and we had to hit the
You're so classless, Elvis.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
The iPhone might have corrected it to duck.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Okay, maybe Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
The quickness in which that cat fled over here. Dump.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Here's here's what you do. Make some of you here
that you.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Had just told me what to do and then you
epically failed it doing it.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Thank you. So you need a dumb button on your
show when you come to New York. But see the
dumb buttons close enough, if you know, you say the
for just reach over up part.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I just love too that. I was like, I could
totally do it live without a It's okay, this is
great one.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
At the network listens, you're you're saying, my gosh, I'm sorry. Right,
So I'm gonna play this song where were we? I'm

Speaker 6 (29:44):
I'm going. On Saturday, August twelfth, I flew out from
Buffalo to see her at Fulagio with La Yeah. I
have her lyrics tattooed on my forearm. I'm a really
really big fan. So I've ben a dance since she
was on idol end. I've seen her many times long
the way, and I just think that she's just so inspiring. Right,
she's just like she's.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Right here, you're talking to it.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
She's making me feel really good. Richard. I hope you
don't show it's tattooed.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
Man. Oh yeah, it's stick all my wings and kept
the flowers. Like when I have come to your show
a couple of times. Then you know you're just your
your attitude about just being so like, I don't really
care what other people think. It really is just so
inspiring and you know you you talked about it on
this album and Red Flag Collector is literally my favorite.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
That's one of my bands.

You don't want to go on a day kicking me out.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
There's some show with lesser ratings waiting for you. Hold on,

me earlier? Is this like a private No?
Speaker 3 (31:01):
No, no, no, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
So my boyfriend was in the navy for a very
long time when to Singapore, got hammered, got a tattoo
and it's in Chinese. He didn't even know what language
it was on it was in. It's huge, and it's
on his forearm and he was trying to figure out
for a decade. He says what it said? He had
no idea. I asked someone. I took a picture of it,
asked somebody what it was, and I told him it's
a Kelly Clarkson lyric. He said, what I got a
(31:23):
Kelly Clarkson lyric? What does it breakaway? Tell me what
song it is? And I left him hanging for a
long time. It's what doesn't kill me makes me stronger,
or what doesn't kill you makes me stronger.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Gosh, do you want to hear funny tatoo story about
that song?

but pregnancy almost where is it? It's right here?

have a cat named Fred. We have like people names
for our and.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Like my name.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Yeah, I love yes, Gandhi. Yes, didn't you used to
have some sort of amphibian or something?
Speaker 7 (01:45):
What I did?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I had a chameleon.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I was going to push cush named after marijuana.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I was going to say, is also an Indian name.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, Well, I'm glad you're here, and figures we'd turn
it into dry it's a beautiful name, and turned it
into Maryland.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I chose it for the duality. Okay, I like it
a multipurpose.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I'm happy. We're so happy that you're moving production to
New York City and uh idea, Well, you know what,
it's good and maybe after a couple of years here
you can do another city somewhere. Just keep moving.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Oh no, no, I've had this conversation with my children,
and my son actually loves this city so much. He
has literally asked, not even he doesn't want to live
in Montana full time either, he has literally asked, like,
if we can live here forever.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
He loves New York. It is the polar opposite of Montana.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
It's it's comparatively speaking to La. Is what he was
saying too.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
He just we don't go out in La because it's
we live by a highway and right by Universal where.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You know what I'm saying. It's just this city. You
walk around, you like experience life a little more.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
I feel like we have to, you're forced to, I know, but.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Actually it's great. You don't realize how much you maybe
take advantage of it. But like it's a beautiful thing
to be even walking that is it called the high line?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Like how random and to make something that was to
make it a New that's cool.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Well, yeah, there there was so many years before we
were born, even where they were tearing down beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful buildings, historically significant buildings to put up steel and
glass as far as I can see. And then of
all people, Jackie Onassas Kennedy or Jackie Kennedy Onasas was
the one who said, no, they're about to tear down
the most beautiful. They're gonna tear down Grand Central Station.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
What. Yes, that sounds idiotic?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Not did you have enough to do when you get here, Kelly?
So maybe we can join some boards and save buildings
or something.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Hey, I'm actually into I've heard a lot of work
that BET's done, actually too, with like parks, like in
like making green spaces in the city.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I've been to her her she does Huloween every year,
which yeah, yeah, that's why I found out she raises
money for the parks in here. Okay, so you want
to be cypically minded when you're here in New York.
I love that.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I like investing where I am. I guess I'm a
small town kid at heart, so I like, yeah, I
like investing like wherever I am and see the community.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, and I think it's important.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I think especially someone who literally I own a ranch
so I can go escape into nature, like I feel
like when you're constantly you know, I don't know, we
don't we're always like living to work, you know what
I'm saying. Like, so it reverse that it'd be nice
to like even balance it out would be nice, you know.
So it's nice to have those spaces, I think for
mental health, for just I don't know, just it's beautiful,
(04:25):
Like I have to live near a park if I'm
in this city or I won't make it.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Funny story. I saw a mom and her little boy
walking down the sidewalk downtow where I live down in Tribecca. Yeah,
and he saw this little one tree was like a
square foot of grass around it, and he looked at
it said.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Lit up park.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
It was a square foot of grass and it was
a park.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Okay, that's sad.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I will tell you the first time I came to
New York, I was like a sophomore in high school
and they were like, yeah, you gotta go to the park.
And it was just I'm from the country, like, so
there's just land, right, So they were like, yes, this
is our green space and show me such mark and
I was like, this is gorgeous, like landscape. It's and
I literally am obsessed with Frederick law Instead who created it,
(05:09):
and conservancy in general, like with federal parks and everything.
But at the time as a teenager, you're like, this
is like a like compared to like it's just the
plot of land is very small comparatively speaking.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
When you're from the country.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
If you live on a rancho Montana, you can go outside
on a hill and look for far Yeah, that's why.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yeah, but there's a lot to learn from him. He's yeah,
he was great.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
So you're stive away from dirty Elmo and you know
dirty Times Rangers and Times Square.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
What does that mean?
Speaker 7 (05:38):
You've never seen like the characters that are dressed up
like that, and there's like five of them with their
heads off and they're dirty and they smell.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
It's like a bad Santa scenario. And I think I
actually might like that environment. So I'm one that enjoys ted.
So we're both from.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
North Texas McKenny, you know Ranch, and you're from.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I'm from Berlins and Fort Worth, So Forwarth isn't far
from Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Not at all. But you know what, So moving to
New York for both of us is kind of just
was when I moved here thirty years ago, it was, well,
here's why I'm glad you're here, because I was the
only one in New York City that used the word y'all.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Right, Okay, So I don't even realize how much I
use it.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
You use it a lot, you used to.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I might still, but.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I don't even It's like something I don't even realize,
especially if I'm tired.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Does it get worse when you're tired?
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Yeah, and I and my draw comes up. But yeah,
but it doesn't matter. I think the word y'all is
so disarming and kind of great.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
And it's just easier. It's quicker here.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
They say use oh, use guys, use guys, guys.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I don't mind that.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Yeah, okay, so moving to New York. We got that covered.
By the way, Do you have any friends? Do you
have friends here?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I do have friends here, and actually, and it's really
it's been really cool. They've been hitting me up because nobody,
you know, some people just didn't know. They didn't realize,
Like they're more like acquaintance friends that we haven't We
don't hang all the time, and everybody's been hit me up.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It's been so lovely.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I'm hitting you up. I told her, I said, when
she comes out, I'm going to ask her to let's
go have dinner when you're.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Here, okay, and then go look at like really cool
buildings parks.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Let's let's have a cocktail with the parks. I mean,
let's talk about chemistry.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Actually, does sound like a fun time? No, No, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I'm a fun dinner time Okay, chemistry Okay. So the
album came out of course, the songs, the words, the music. Sonically,
this thing represents a total shift and a life and
every artist's album and work should be reflecting.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Just whatever chapter and you let it.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You definitely in this music you're letting it, let it
hang out, and you you gave it. You you like
you exposed, you expose yourself and some raw nerves in here.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
The day it's released, are you is there any like? Mmm?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Wow? I think I'm like, finally it's out, because it's
been like two and a half to three years since
I even wrote it so and recorded most events, so
it's it's been a minute for me and I'm like
on a the other side, you know, like I'm on
a different so I almost listened to it and I'm like,
oh my god, she was sad.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Like you know, it's almost like you listen to it
and you're like wow.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You know when you find like a journal or something
from your or somebody got you in all about Me
book or something from years ago, and you find it
and you started it but didn't finish it anyway, it's
like that you look at it and you're like wow,
You're like that was that was intense. But I I
feel like that's how I cope, Like how I heal,
like if I was going to release the music or not.
Music is like writing is how I kind of decipher
(08:31):
where I'm at.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Not wonderful to do that. I mean, there are people
like us who were we have not a what do
you do? Play with myself? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
That can be fun too, that's all. I don't knock
it till you try to at least t but I'm not.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
But I'm hearing, but I'm hearing enjoy I'm hearing enjoying,
and I'm hearing all sorts of things in there. It's
not just an.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Album, It's about a full relationship.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I feel like, no, it does lean more towards you know,
even the angry songs like what Lies Beneath that is
hurt right, so like it. It has all of it
in there, like even starting with favorite kind of high,
which is like the beginning of a relationship, with that
chemical reaction that you can't deny even if you're like,
I should probably not do this, but like you're like,
but it seems fun.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
But that's it, you know, and is it? Billy Joel
one of the lyrics one of his songs is you know,
I'm giving you my heart to break?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, hear, Oh, that's funny. I didn't know that was.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
That's kind of similar to mine and mind it's road
the rose Rose is a rose Billy Joel, anyone, anyone,
It's it's you'll love it.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Okay. That's so funny because in mind, I say, go
ahead and break my heart. That's fine. It's feeling very sarcastic.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
We don't break my heart anyway. But now, but gosh,
you know a lot of people who go through crazy
shifts in life. They cut their hair, they move to
New York.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
They yeah, no, no, Actually, I had this idea long
before I was like, and I was one of those people.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Right after we separated, I.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Was like, I already did not like, Look, there are
beautiful things about LA even poor moving there after high school,
Like that is not my city to live in, to visit,
to have fun, and sure, it's just not my place
that I really liked to live in. I never have,
so work was the reason why I kind of had
to live there. So when this happened, I literally was
talking to my theories. I was like, I got a move.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
She goes. Wait.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
The one thing I tell people if they're ever going
through something like this is like, do not make a
huge decision in the moment. So I waited like two
years before actually doing something.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
I'm grimacing. I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Why.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
If I was a therapist, this is why I'm not
a therapist, I would say, you need to make a drastic, big,
new decision.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Right now.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think she did have ideas like that that that
was more of like my decision making skills, like in
other areas.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Your brain may be clouded, your heart may be broken,
this is the time to do something really affed up.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, I'm excited too, because I have always wanted to
live here and I've always wanted to do Broadway eventually,
I've always wanted to do certain things and was never capable.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Of doing it.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Well, now you have the whole city at your feet.
You can do whatever you want. But you know, and
you know you've lived in New York. I mean in
New York.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I've never lived lived here, but you've.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Been here a lot. Oh yeah, can you say tell
me she lived here?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
No, I've actually wait, that's not a completely I sometimes
when I do so much work here, I will stay
for like a month. You live here, I've lived here
for yeah, I just New Yorkers would be like, you've
been loved here.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
You've been here a month.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
There's a really good friend of ours, Josh, who works here.
He's one of our production gurus, and he moved here
from Cleveland and we were talking about salary stuff like that.
He says, well, what do I need to make to
be comfortable in New York? And I said, let me
tell you, no one's comfortable in New York. Billionaires are
not comfortable here. That's the whole point of the city.
You gotta be on your game.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
I'm gonna be honest with you. Mom is comfortable.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm gonna be honest, like I like, I don't I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I will say I'm comfortable. I'm highly comfortable. Give it
a minute, you know why.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't know if I could at this point in
my career, like in my life, like being a single parent,
having dogs, having kids, having jobs, like it's like no, no, no,
want to live like in a I was very particular,
like where I was going to live by their schools,
by my work, by a park.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Like I was, yeah, if you ever need a nice
house in New Jersey, I know a great I actually.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Would love to live outside the city. Carson actually hit
me up with this amazing house near him that was
for grams. But I was like, I just I want
to live in the city like I want to. I
want to experience actually living in it, going to my car,
you know, walking every day to work.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Is I think I might be opposite. I like walks
and hike.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
They were hike. But it's a I'm not saying it's
an awful pan in the ass, but it can be.
It's a challenge.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
I want to me when winter comes, are you going
to do the Jersey Shore for the summer? Like you know,
a lot of New Yorkers do, like you go down
the shore and.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I'm in Montana, Like literally I leave like after work
today on a plane going back. Yeah yeah, so I
I it snows like nine months out of the year there,
so it's like anytime I can get there where it's
you know, you can really get some work done.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
And have a good time. Like, yeah, I'm in Montana.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I think you have the perfect balance having a place
here and then having a place in Tana. And I've
been here for almost five years and it has not
worn off on me at all yet. I know people
are like, oh, it's terrible and it's really rough and
it is tough, but I think you're gonna love it.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
There's so much.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I feel like every day you learn something new, see
something new.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
That's what my sister and I love, so we walk
around to and even my kids like it's I think
it's pretty special, especially if you haven't ever lived in
an environment like that. So and honestly, I just I
want to be happy at this point, like, and I
just was unhappy where I was. So it was really
cool of NBC to be like, Okay, we'll move you
nice stimulation.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Okay, where are we going?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Are we coming back to playing with yourself. Yes, I
love how I was like, what's happening with you? I'm sorry,
did I say that out loud? Stimulation. That's what this
city is about.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Stimilation from all different all different facets of the city.
I mean, from the smells, I mean, the good smells,
the bad, the music, the food, the people. I mean,
and I won't tell you this nothing against in Los Angeles.
That one in my mobs as has been the difference
between the people here and the people in New York.
I mean Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I don't think people here care about your life.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Well they don't.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Usually that's great that no one gives a crap. Yeah,
I don't care about you.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
They're like, I got my own thing going on here.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
But also, I mean they will tell you what's on
their mind. There's no pretense, there's no I feel like that's.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Also where we're from. I feel like that's very Southern.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, well it depends on which if you're from the
Sticks of the Bricks.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
But yeah, but we do it in a gentile way.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Depending on if you're from the Sticks of the Bricks, genteel,
because there's a bunch of us that are just like,
what the hell are you doing?
Speaker 5 (14:34):
You know, if someone does something stupid, if you're from
North Texas or where we're from, you just look at
them when you smog all.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Here, like, yeah, I kind of prefer the latter, yeah,
because the first one sneaky.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
You're smiling at me while being a jerk.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Okay, chemistry, let's talk walk me through some of the songs,
and I want to pay, and you know what, I'm
gonna play whatever song you want to hear today, but
I'm I have like pieces of all these songs. Okay, well,
let's let's just kind of like walk through here. Chemistry.
You broke, you broke our equipment?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Is it my first time? Okay?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
This is a nice nice Oh I love that.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
This is chemistry. Yeah, I know, I'm sorry. Just put
the headphones on.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I don't know why I could hear you all. And
then I was like, oh, you might play something. I
should put these on. I love that song. I know.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I don't usually sing like that on a record, you know, just.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Completely soft and breathing.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And this is like Kelly Clarkson's version of Jeff Buckley. Okay, yeah, yeah,
you know I'm saying it's not Jeff Buckley. I'm aware,
but like it's like my version of like how that
just pretty ethereal vibrato, like just kind of different space
that I don't think people are used to.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Hearing you kind of float you're but it's chemistry.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
In a very sad way.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
And this is the title for the album that you checkt.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Because I felt like it was. I was like, what
is a word that would wrap up an entire relationship? Right?
Like I'm like, there's so many emotions and stages of
grief and like whatnot.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
And so I felt like chemistry.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
I was like, Oh, that's actually kind of cool because
it's it's the beautiful part of it that it's like,
it's amazing that you have felt that with someone, like
you've had that kind of reaction, Like not everybody gets that, right,
So that's amazing, but also how hard it can be,
Like if you are intensely in love with someone but
it's unhealthy for you, it's not a great environment.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
You know, it is chemistry. Yeah, then there's magic.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It's my band's.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Favorite to begin what I liked and with you, I
won't feel like this.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
I can't again a kiss ever.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Time always I mean, your voice is still I mean
it's even better than ever, better than ever. I mean,
I don't know if I know what I'm talking about,
but this morning it's very low. Well you're fine, You're fine,
but sonically when when when you sing, you're just God,
what is it I saw you do the other day
that blew me, like, Oh you did? I always love
(17:09):
you at the last year's at a CM, Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Was I just I feel like I was set up.
I was like, well, I said yes to like doing
the event because I love Dolly part And they were like, hey,
you want to do a tribute for Dolly Partner.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
I'm like, who says no to that?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I love her and I love the a c MS
and I've performed there quite a bit, so I was like,
all right, let's do it. And then they were like,
oh it's I always loving And I'm like, oh my god,
I can't back out now.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
But like, no singer wants that task.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
But you did it. I know. I mess it up
like spangle banners, Like, ah, that's that note.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, by the way starts Spangle banner, Chris Tableton.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
My mistakes.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Another real Happy Family number.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, it's important, important, part of the of the of
the story.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So when you're writing something like this and it is
so raw and so real, and that's actually.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I only didn't write a couple that's actually one of them. Okay, yeah,
But the reason why I chose it is maybe go
where you're going.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Well, do you ever have to reach out to anybody
and say, hey, just a heads up, this song is
coming out and you might hear things.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
No, So here's the thing I didn't.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I made a like I wrote a ton of stuff
like just for me, just because I was going through something.
And then I made the decision of what's been out
there like talked about good or bad, Like what's already
out there, that's what I'll address. There's a bunch I
don't address that's just for me. But and and you know,
cause honestly, it's like that song from Billy Elish. It's embarrassing,
(18:42):
like you know what I'm saying, Like you don't want
to like something that you love and and person that
you love and that didn't work out, Like that's devastating.
So anything that was out there already in the press
and kind of was released because out of my hands
I reference. But anything that wasn't I kept so oh that's.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Like a musical diary.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah and terrifying, awesome.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
At what point? At what point after a breakup and
we've all been through them, Yeah, at what point do
you go Okay? So that hurt, that was a fire,
But look at what I got out of this that
was other than beautiful children, other than great memories.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
No, I think it was really hard because it was.
I was very I think everybody you get to that
broken spot. But I look, people think I'm so hippy
did because I talk about it, but I wasn't. I
didn't ever really take therapy before, and I don't know
how I would have survived it had I not taken it,
because I didn't even notice things.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
You know, you grow up a certain way with.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
A servant's heart, religiously speaking, like you grow up and
you think, you know, I can do this or this
is what this is. You never really knew what marriage
was supposed to look like because you never had a
real solid example. So it's like there were just so
many things that were helpful in therapy, like figuring out
and hearing and going oh that's not normal or like
our wait what like you know, so I don't know
that therapy was really really helpful for me and helped
(20:04):
me focus right off the bat, Like she was really
amazing at going Okay, what I don't want you to
do is just focus on everything bad, like she was, like,
there's beautiful things like not just my children, but like
I'm not kidding, like I, until thirty years old, was
never in love, Like I never had felt that. Like
the fact that I got to feel that is incredible.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I'm getting it's incredible because everyone of us is thinking
about past relationships that totally like crap the bad. Yeah,
but it's so easy to dwell on the ab don't.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Demean it down to just the one thing exactly.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
There's great things that come out. All right, let's keep
by the way Kelly Clarkson, we're tripping through her new
album Chemistry, No reason to fream it. We're playing it
all for you here today. I'm kidding that joke, don't
do don't support me anyway. The last one was my mistake, right,
this is that's right.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
She did.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
She played drums, percussion.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I love her, Oh my god, I love her. Of
all people actually performed together.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, she's percussion on it, and she I literally heard her.
We had performed together a couple of times. She's so
cool y'all to like the crew, the band, everybody like
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
It's like a solid stand up human. Not everyone does that.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Most people don't, like you know, they come in, they
do what they need to do, talk to you, and
then leave like right, so.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Which is fine.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
But she's just an incredible person really still just loves
what she does. Is the hardest working woman. Every time
we text, I feel like she's touring. And I literally
asked her. I was like, I wrote this song and
I hear you on it and I know, like you're
probably busy, but if you don't mind, like would you
play on it?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
And she did.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
God, I remember her when I was young.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
She But that's the thing too though, she even like
played like we last minute at this show we did
in La played we were only playing the album. We
told the fans like, who came? We were only playing
the album? But I surprised with a couple of hits.
She just was like, we were like, if you want
to play on with us? Because she was the last
song we were playing from the album. We're doing like
a couple of hits, and she was like absolutely, she
was just up there hanging with us, like having it.
It's like, why why she became a musician was still
(22:09):
ever apparent?
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Well you're Janet, Yeah, I mean it's an old term.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
It's like you lose that sometime.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Yeah, you gotta get back to that. Even if you're
not a musician, you got a jam with your friends
and with your family, people that you love. High Road,
which last time me listen to this whole album because
I'm playing these these.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Mixing and mastering probably yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I'm playing bits and pieces of this song. I can
see in your eyes, Kelly, they're like, oh yeah, yeah,
yeah that one.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Well, and y'all are just now hearing all these So
it's interesting for me. I've never had an album this
far in advance and then finally people are hearing it.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It's I've never experienced that.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
So to you, it's maybe a whole new album different
than it was when your first Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And it's yeah, it's just kind of yeah, it's but
it's beautiful because it's I'm at a different place, like
I said, So it's beautiful to look at it.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
It's almost like a piece of art instead of like life.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
So right, yeah, well I tell you so, chemistry is it.
I'm not gonna play all the cuts, but we're gonna
We're gonna play whatever you want to hear in this. Okay,
we're so excited that you moved to New York. We
have dinner. I'm buying, no problem. Things are good.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Okay, you already take away the parks in the buildings.
But it's fine. Yeah, you're limiting our date.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
It's like we're it's like you're it's our first date
or something, and you're like, I'm not probably.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Look, it't coffee. I'm not giving you a plate with
food on it.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yet you do a.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Picnic, you know me, I'll be your old gay uncle
Elvis for a nice, safe night martiniz and cocktail. Like, uh,
we're talking about fourteen tracks on this album and uh
and it's just in time for summer, which is you know,
there's a lot of things you've been listening to this summer. Yeah,
you got to add this to your stream list.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I think so.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
And I want to go back to what you said
about Chili. How you were like, oh, you know, she's
so nice to people.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
I always use you as that example, because last time
you were here in the studio, you walked in and
you found a positive thing about every person. You were like,
oh my gosh, that color looks great on you. Wow,
your hair color is so pretty. And you made everyone
feel so great. And I was like, oh my gosh,
that's the way to live your life.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It was so special.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Oh yeah, I don't know why I do that, but
my friends tell me I do that a lot. Yeah,
Like when I walk in, I don't know. I'm very
servant and I'm also adhd, so I like I'm always
looking around and like, you know, observing, But yeah, I
like making people feel good.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Yeah, you know what, New York could use some of that.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Wait, I gotta stand up for New Yorkers here because
this is everybody always talks about how mean people are
busier or not caring or whatever. I mean, even when
people don't know who I am, I'm in a hat
like nobody people are so not you just because look
at this is my thing. It was like a test
with me and my manager, who's also from Texas. We'd
be in LA and we'd wave in the car, you know,
(24:41):
like you do in Texas.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You know what I'm saying. You wave to have people
pass me.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, I swear to God, in the years I live there,
maybe one, and I'm just giving them that. I don't
remember one, but maybe one everyone I pass here because
I make a point to be like hi, like anytime
I pass someone.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I don't know why, I just do.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Everyone says hi and like, oh Hi, and like and
then and then they smile and you smile and it feels
good and they do give you.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
The right directions. People say, oh, don't ask to New
Yorker for directions. That's crap people give you.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
The people are real nice here. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
So with New York.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
You're coming to New York now and it's obviously very different.
You think the show's gonna have any different undertones or
be different than the one that you shot in La.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yes, I mean it'll have a different energy, just as
city does. So I think I think that'll be a
little different. Starts, people get well, here's this is my thing.
I really want my show to be live, but I
don't think they'll let me go live because of my mouth.
So yeah, they're like, uh, that'd be a real hardcore.
But like I just get especially when I'm tired. It
(25:43):
just comes out just the trash in me, Like yeah,
but I honestly that is a thing. Like I was
a huge man of rosi O'Donnell and she did her
show here and it was live. So maybe like one
day we work to live. I think that'd be cool.
I think I could control money.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
You can do this.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
We know what we have here because we're as we speak.
See this button here says dump. We have a dump button.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
What does that mean?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
So if you say, let's say you've got to go
to the bathroom, thank you, you'll just be tired because
you're getting trashy. If you said the F word, yeah,
I'll be like, oh, Kelly, let's push the dump button. Boom,
and it rewinds our show back four seconds or something
like that. It goes back in time to before you
were crass and evil.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Y'all have figured out time travel.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yes, we have.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
This is incredible news.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
He figured out for people like you and me.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh my god, while I know it feels good.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah, I love god. He's point about doing a live
show here, or any kind of show with an audience here,
because I remember going to see David Letterman and going
to see. Yeah, we go to see Fallon. We're on
Fallon On con in here. Energy here is so different
in and you're gonna you're gonna own it.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, I'm excited. We've opened the show twice here though,
so my whole show has been here for like the
first week of two seasons.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Yeah, it's been You got a taste of what it's
gonna be.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yeah, y'all gave it was a good taste obviously, there
you go.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Well, look, chemistry, I want to I want it in
everyone's phone by the end of this conversation or if not,
by the end of.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
The day, or something bad will happen. Don't you like
that email?
Speaker 5 (27:10):
If you don't, nothing good will happen until you do that.
That was more positive, trying to figure this out. But welcome,
Welcome to New York officially, even though yeah, when when
do you start production here?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well, depending on strikes, we're supposed to start September. Yeah,
crossing fingers.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
So that's thinking about us, even though we do support writers. Yeah,
no one writes this crap. We just talk. No one
lays claim to this.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I was like, everyone shocked right now, all right, So
chemistry is where it's at and it just is so
damn great to thank you, nice to see it.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Dinner buildings, whatever. Okay, So I want you to make
a request whatever you want to hear off the album.
I'm gonna play it.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Right now, you know what.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I like this one a lot, and it was the
very first song I wrote for this album. It's called
down to You hit twice.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
You just said the F word? What you say said something?
Hold on, we just didn't say anything.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Who said it?
Speaker 5 (28:10):
We just it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It's all good. It doesn't matter though, because I didn't
who did it? I mean, it.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Wasn't no, this is this isn't anyway. This isn't a
who farted situation. I don't know I missed it. What
does she say?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Look, I know it was an exhale. It was just
an exhale. Didn't hear it, and it was like it
was halfway and then I beg, okay, all right, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
If you just missed a few sentences, it's because someone
said a bad word and we had to hit the
You're so classless, Elvis.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
The iPhone might have corrected it to duck.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Okay, maybe Okay.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Had just told me what to do and then you
epically failed it doing it.

Thank you. So you need a dumb button on your
show when you come to New York. But see the
dumb buttons close enough, if you know, you say the
for just reach over up part.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I just love too that. I was like, I could
totally do it live without a It's okay, this is
great one.

Buffalo to see her at Fulagio with La Yeah. I
have her lyrics tattooed on my forearm. I'm a really
really big fan. So I've ben a dance since she

your attitude about just being so like, I don't really
care what other people think. It really is just so
inspiring and you know you you talked about it on
this album and Red Flag Collector is literally my favorite.

long time when to Singapore, got hammered, got a tattoo
and it's in Chinese. He didn't even know what language
it was on it was in. It's huge, and it's
on his forearm and he was trying to figure out
for a decade. He says what it said? He had
no idea. I asked someone. I took a picture of it,
asked somebody what it was, and I told him it's
a Kelly Clarkson lyric. He said, what I got a
(31:23):
Kelly Clarkson lyric? What does it breakaway? Tell me what
song it is? And I left him hanging for a
long time. It's what doesn't kill me makes me stronger,
or what doesn't kill you makes me stronger.

but pregnancy almost where is it? It's right here?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
