Speaker 1 (00:42):
So we've interviewed you. We can't even count the times.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Pink, but our co host and best friend Gandhi here,
you are her favorite.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
She's never interviewed you ever. This is her first time.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
Yeah, I'm so excited.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Why is it, Gandhi?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
What about Pink that it makes you so excited?

Speaker 1 (00:56):
So many things?

Speaker 6 (00:56):
So I think that in a.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
World of I hate compliments.

Speaker 6 (01:02):
Stop listening. I'm telling the world not you. I think
that you are real and authentic, and that is a
big deal to me because I think it's really easy
to just be, you know, like sugary pop princess, and
it's probably tougher to be real about things and say
what's actually on your mind in the world that we
live in. And I like that you just do it unapologetically,
which is a good example for I'm sure your kids,
for me, for anybody that has, you know, grown up

(01:24):
listening to you. I think it's awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Thank you, You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
You took that well.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
She's doing what she's been trying to do all these years.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Just say thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
It's okay, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Actually, I actually had a discussion with my daughter and
son the other day about maybe choosing your battles, which
is new for me.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
I'm bearing that well.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
A couple things I want to cover here.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
First of all, of course, you were a nominee for
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of twenty
twenty six. I'm a voter for the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame and I voted for you. I just
want you to know.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I don't think you were supposed to say that. I
don't care. Do you kick me out, fire me whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
I also voted for Maria Carrey didn't get it, so
obviously my vote is nothing, nothing really, but.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Shad Day got in and Impy Shaw Day.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
I remember the old show day days. She would come
out on stage wearing no shoes. I'm thinking, girl, you're
gonna get some some kind of worm crawling up your toenails.
But she was always so cool.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
She's incredible, and she's always marched to the beat.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Of her own drum, and there's no one like her.
I'm happy for her.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I felt too young to be doing this whole thing,
so fuck, but maybe maybe in ten years or so.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, when you're old and krusty, I'll vote for you. Then.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Uh, let's see living in New York now, welcome. She's
right up the street from us Air hosting the Tonys.
That's gonna be a lot of fun. I didn't know
you're such a big Broadway fan. Are you a huge
Broadway fan?

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I've always been a Broadway fan.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I My mom used to save up her money once
a year and take me in Philadelphia off Broadway and
we would go see Fano of the Opera and Le
Miz and Lakaje af Full. I've seen Fanom maybe ten times.
But I always wanted to be Cosette. Before I was nine,
I told my mom if I wasn't Cosette, by the
time I was nine or on Star Search, I wasn't
gonna be cute anymore and my life would be over.

(03:14):
And now and all my shows to the way I
put my shows together, it's sort of like rock opera
theater extravaganza, and I always try to mix that in
and circus, I guess. But now Willow is obsessed and
she's She's actually taught me a lot in the last
couple of years about musical theater, and we're kind of obsessed.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
And you know what.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Also, this year, I'm doing this thing where I just say, yes,
I've always just been a touring artist. I've been a
touring artist forever, and I just wanted to do other
things and be creative and have some fun.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
So I'm just doing weird, awesome stuff.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
I love the fact that you've kind of up and
moved to New York because Willow loves to be immersed
in the Broadway world so much, and so you're like,
you know what, let's go, let's just do this.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
She's followed me around my whole life. It's her turn.
She's also really talented. If she wasn't, I told her
I wouldn't go anywhere. But she hates the fact that
anybody would think of her as a Neippo baby because
she she works so hard, and I told her, you
know what, that stuff will get you in the door,
but it won't keep you there. So just put your
head down, do your work. Women have to work harder anyway,

(04:23):
So just do your work. Be kind, and the second
you open your mouth, people will be like, oh, she's
really good.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
What did I say on the show yesterday? I wish
Pink was my mom. Yeah, I'm old enough to be
her granddad.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
How do we man? No, you're not.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
We got to figure this out. Oh, yes, I am.
I started when I was young.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
How has the city been treating you? I know it's
a big difference, moving West coast all the way East coast.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Honestly, I'm from outside of Philadelphia. I feel like the
East Coast gets a bad rap. Everyone is so nice here,
like all right, I think maybe New Yorkers are a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Nicer than people's But it's been it's been really fun.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I always joke that it's overwhelming because I have no
boundaries and I've been to everything twice. There's so much
to do here and I can't not. But no, it's
been wonderful. It's been it's been really fun. I'm tired.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
That's the whole point.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
So if you walk Hi down the streets to New York,
you see paint, say Hi, don't be a stranger, but
don't embarrass yourself and run up to her like groper.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's okay, Yeah, don't do that.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
That won't be a fun day for you.

Speaker 6 (05:32):
And I like that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I read a story the other day about somebody that
was on the subway.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Oh it was Lin Manuel Miranda.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Someone leaned over on the subway and showed their phone,
which was just they had written a tech. They wanted
to show him a text message with their son or
something about how much of a fan, but he didn't
want to make a scene on the subway, so he
just let him read his phone.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I was like, that's very New York. That's very cool.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, that's right, that we're so cool New Yorkers cool.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
You know.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Another thing I want to talk about real quick is
the fact that artists out there must freak the hell
out when they catch you doing one of their songs.
For instance, I mean a Million Dreams, one of my
favorite songs of all time, We had the little kids
sing that at my wedding, and you did that with
will as well.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Right the video of her with the orchestra recording that
song when she was a little baby. If I need
to cry, I just watched that. She's so sweet on
that song. I like covering other people's songs, especially females.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I remember when we did River.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
We did it for an entire tour and Bishop was
just so stoked. And I'm such a fan of Bishop
Briggs and I love her. I mean, wild horses. I
think that's what it's called River. She just writes the
most Nciana. Is it Spiro or Spiro.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's Spiro.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
She's so good and that song is so beautiful. And
one of my friend's teenagers said that to me.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
I was like, you need to do this. I was like, yes,
I do love that.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
So when pinked at that incredible run for a week
on Kelly Clarkson Show, you were performing these songs and
you did die on this hill the seen a spiral song,
hold on, I have it?

Speaker 6 (07:05):
Is this as weird to you as hearing compliments when
you hear yourself sing.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
No, I can handle hearing myself sing. I could not
handle my speaking voice.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Oh oh, I think we're all.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
We all feel that way and we do radio for
a living.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yes, yeah, I want to leave messages. I can't. I can't.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Hand I couldn't watch the Kelly Clarkson Show because I don't.
I could only watch the singing bits.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Oh, you did so great as an interviewer, and I
was thinking, maybe she's warming up to have her own
show or something. A lot of people were saying that,
were you just constantly swatten that fly away or again?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
It was just a thing that they asked me to do,
and I was like, why not. I'm in my why
not face?

Speaker 5 (07:46):
God?

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Sing?

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Just hold.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
He know you want to go off? Here's she got?
Told me.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
How many?

Speaker 3 (08:33):
A little different, a little different than the way.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
She does it, but it's so incredible.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
I mean, I sing in such a like an old
school way, and all the cool kids now sing so
much cooler, and I can't.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
I've tried it, and I'm like, I can't.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I sound like the Golden Girls compared to Sianna.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I like, be Arthur. You have that be Arthur sound.

Speaker 6 (08:56):
Have you ever had an artist who like, damn it, pink,
please don't cover my song because you it's so much
better than me not saying that that's what just happened.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
But you know, no, no, no, but I see what
you did there. Isn't it fun when everyone takes your
words and then just punishes you for every single one
of them.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Yeah, it happens every day. Well, when sars on with
us in a few weeks, I'm gonna play.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
This for her, tell her I love her.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Why don't you just come up.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Your Actually she's actually probably really sick of people talking
about it, honestly, He's like.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
I wrote that song I say, so shut up about
Pink Pink.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
This is our officially our thirtieth anniversary doing the show.
We've been doing the show for thirty years here at
one hundred New York, and you've been amazing part of it.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
For me, feel like, what does that feel like when
you say things like that, Because it feels crazy when
I see all these anniversary posts of.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Like Can't Take Me Home is twenty six years old, I'm.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Like, you're still out there, You're working, We're still working.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Awesome.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
We feel very blessed, right, We're very lucky to do
what we do and to have runs as hon as
we've had them.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
And you know, I'm not slowing down. I'm still very hungry.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I don't know how y'all were thirty years ago when
you started, but it's like some of the decisions that
we've made in the hard work that we've done for me,
it helps me really respect myself and respect you know,
the grind and the work.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
That's been put in and the time and hours. Think
about how many hours you.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Guys have put into this, and you've given your life
to it, and your families have shaped around it, and
it's it's something to be really proud of, something to.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Be really really genuinely proud of. Congratulations.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Thanks.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
How nervous are you now watching your daughter step into
a similar lane?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
You know, she's tough, man, I don't really worry about her.
She's the smartest person in the room. So I go
out and I do all this like death defying stuff
on stage, and I am singing, and I know what
I'm doing. I know exactly what I'm doing, I know
when I'm doing it, how I'm doing it. And then
I did with her and Q Jackman and I walked out,
and I was so nervous because I was no longer

(11:07):
thinking about myself I was thinking about her and her
experience and what must this be like She's fourteen, even
though to me she's thirty three.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
And she's on Radio City stage. She's living her dream.
Is she overwhelmed? Is she okay?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Is this the right thing to be doing? Is she
ready for? And then she opens her mouth and I'm like,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Even need to be here.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
I'm just gonna be over here in the corner getting
my heels stuck in the stage.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Have you ever like.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Thought and said, you know what, maybe I should tell
her not to go in that direction and go away
from performing.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I would never tell anybody not to do something. I mean,
I might have told her that if she wanted to
be a freestyle motorcross rider. But she's so specifically in
her lane with Broadway and musical theater that she really
doesn't want to be associated with. She's had so many options, right,

(12:03):
she could have done so many things, and she's like,
I just don't want to do that. I want to
do this, and I want to go to school for this,
and I want to do this.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
I want to dedicate And I'm like, that's awesome. Do it.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
Does she have a favorite show right now on Broadway.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Oh, dear Lord lost boys right now, I would say, and.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
You were just a aunt Juliet, weren't you guys back there?

Speaker 3 (12:21):
It was so good. I can't believe it's taken me
this long to see it. It's so good.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
And I got to see Candy Burst, which was a
full circle. She wrote there you Go, my very first
single with me, and I got to see her singing
perfect on Broadway.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
It was a while.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
If anyone ever says to me, hey, Elvis, oh my god,
you just said something. You sound just like your mom,
I'd be like, thank you, that's really sweet. But do
you ever hear people say, oh my god, Pink, you
sound just like your daughter. You just said something your
daughter would have said. It sounds like, you know, that
kind of interesting relationship with each other.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
No, I mean, she's wiser than me already. She's she's crazy.
I love her so much.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
I was complaining the other day and she was like, well,
I hate to lighten.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
The mood, but I was like, Oh, that's that's savage, okay.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
I love that relationship you have with her. Let me
play a piece of sound for you. Pink.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
You were on our show October tenth, twenty seventeen.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Wow, was that the last time.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
No, you've been on since then. But you were talking
about your relationship with your kids. So that was nine
years ago, right, it was five?

Speaker 3 (13:26):
What was it? What was what did I even know
by then?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Let me let me let me play the clip in
what you said. This could be interesting. I hope she's
listening to you with us right now. Here's what you said.
It seems like you have a great relationship with your kids.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, I hit the lottery.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I'm so grateful, well as they did with you.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Well if I yeah, I'm gonna I'm glad this is
recorded so I can play it back to her in
about six years.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
And there you have it. The funny we found that.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I still feel that way.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I there's so many times in the day where I
just go, I'm in such a state of gratitude. I
had such different childhood. And that's not I'm not saying
that my parents were terrible or anything. It was just
a different era. We were raised differently, our parents had.
My parents had a different set of circumstances to work
with and therapy wasn't really a thing. And yeah, I

(14:16):
get to be a part of my kids' lives every day,
and I'm I'm super into them as people. And maybe
it's I don't want to say it's in spite.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Of the way I was raised. Maybe it's you shush.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Maybe it's like a product of some of that obviously right,
like things that we remember that we didn't like. I
just try to just let them be this whole human
and I'm into them. I feel so lucky now. I'm
feeling time right. I'm like, oh, well, I was fourteen
and she's talking about what college she wants to go to.

(14:49):
And Jamison's nine and he's not a baby anymore.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
He still lets me kiss him at school. Drops.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
Oh, that's going to change because my too, My one
is twenty one and the other one of seventeen, and
I the seventeen year old. I said the other day,
don't you remember when you told me you'd always give
mommy hugs and kisses always? And he just kind of
looked at me.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
I was just like, yeah, okay, he'll be back to
that one. Hey, wait, who did you tell you hush?
You told someone in the room to hush?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Who was that my three point six pound doggie?

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Like, do you weigh your dog daily to find out
what the wait is.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
What they told me, I'm really into it. You want
to see him? His name is.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
What kind of let's see look at Tater tot.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Okay, he was New York. He was a New York find.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Fine like off the street.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Hi, buddy dog.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Baby actual baby when he's not yapping, so gandhi.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Look, look, Pink has great kids, great relationship with kids,
and a dog.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
You and I could have that together.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Okay, let's have kids.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I'm trying to talk around having kids with me.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Seriously, is that allowed?

Speaker 4 (16:10):
The word I always walk away from our times together
is the word authentic? And you know what you're living
it and it's so it's a lessen.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
It's a lesson for all of us.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
Well, thank you for being with you.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
When I when everyone called me, I was like, hey,
it's Elvis Durance thir I was like, yes, anything. I've
had the most fun with you, guys. It's always been
since the very beginning.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
I don't remember what year it.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Would have been that was the first time on that show,
but I was such a fish out of water in
my own skin back then, and I just didn't really
know how to do any of this. And y'all always
made me feel so at home and so seen and
so welcomed. And that's that's a mutual feeling. I appreciate
you just as much.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
I love that. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
It's really really true, because I'm not a morning person either.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
We are a soft landing.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
I want you to request a Pink song, any song,
any song. You can go old school if you want.
If you heard a playing on one hundred day, I'm
gonna turn that up.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
I like this song. Oh wait, that's me? What song
would that?

Speaker 3 (17:11):
I mean? I always love what about us?

Speaker 1 (17:14):
There you go? Excellent. We're gonna play it.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
And if you have the version, if you have the
remix version that I did on tour, that's a fun
one scary.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Would you find that place?

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Absolutely, we'll play.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Hey, thanks, and then would you tell me what it
is so I know how to describe it, but

Speaker 4 (17:30):
Pink happy anniversary to us, and it would be thank
you you
