Didn't even try to, Kay, I just.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Dp that baby in there. Hey. By the way, not
only is it a producer Sam's birthday, it's where your
pajama top to workday. Obviously you guys didn't get the memory, didn't.
I don't know what happened and where in my pajamas.
This is not a pajama top. It looks like what.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
Well, that's only because Gandhi and I have a pair
similar Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
You got yours for free. I paid for that.

Speaker 7 (02:40):
We did that was yours was probably a lot more
than I know.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Well, yours are free.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
Yeah, well that's true.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
This is not Fendy. No, it's not. Stop. Talk to
a Hunter, our first caller of the day, our last
caller of the week in beautiful Orlando. Hunter, Good morning,
How are you? Good morning?

Speaker 8 (02:58):
He lady?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, hello, lady. We love Hunter for many reasons. First
of all, he lives right up the street from the
happiest place on Earth. He's also a science teacher.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Oh I love that.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Recently nominated for a Teacher of the Year. So Hunter,
you find out today if you actually win that, right,
Yes I do.

Speaker 9 (03:16):
I'm really really excited. I'm just I'm just so so
humble to even be nominated for it, and now I
get to go talk to you guys, and I'm so excited.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Well, well it's.

Speaker 9 (03:26):
The best sick thing I'm ever We're.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Actually we're actually humbled to be with you, you know,
and you know, especially Gandhi, she's such a science nerd.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
It's magic. I love what you're doing.

Speaker 9 (03:38):
Oh, thank you so much. It is magic, isn't it?
So my favorite thing that you are the lass and
have the kids so involved and actually apply what they learn.
You know. That's the funny part about my job.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
School.

Speaker 6 (03:52):
Yeah, not listening to me, I mean, no labs like
actually watching the stuff interact and change color and flowed sometimes.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
It was amazing.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Have you ever had any mishaps where you went to
do it?

Speaker 10 (04:04):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Well, you want to do an experiment and then it
blew up and people had to be evacuated.

Speaker 9 (04:09):
No, well there's one, there's one one. Uh so, so
my advice is to always through your seet goggles because
one time I had a student that was working with
a lot with an acid and the acid may have
splashed in the reaction and may have gotten the contact.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
But oh no, that okay.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
I was going to ask how many times have people
actually use those eye wash fountains?

Speaker 9 (04:36):
Not very often, but it does happen. It does happen.
So every at the beginning of the school year, I
always test the eyewash in the sefety shower.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
Oh god, anyone turned into a marvel superhero while in
your classroom because they were bitten where they drank a concoction.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
That's a fair question.

Speaker 9 (04:53):
Yeah, it is a fair question. When Windn't that be awesome?
I have not had that yet, but hopefully it happened
to me.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I know, at least the very least, you should experiment
with spider bites. I think that's always fun. Hey, we're
very proud to have you listening to our show, Hunter.
What do we have for Hunter? Oh, Hunter can form
a covalent bond with a fifty dollars Wendy's gift card.
I love sexist scientific technology talk. Hey, well, look, Hunter,

(05:20):
thank you for listening to us. You have the best
day ever and best of luck. Break a leg when
they will hope you can teacher of the year. If not,
you are our teacher of the year. Okay, great, Thank you, Ella,
thank you very much for listening. Hold on, Hunter, there
you go. I love that.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
He sounds like he loves his job.

Speaker 7 (05:35):
Yeah, he's so cool.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Let's get into the three things we need to know
from Gandhi's and we've got oh so much, so much
to do later on in the show. Not only do
we have Chris Martin on Live from Vienna. How do
you like that? Yeah? Then we have Taylor Taylor Swift. Oops,
now we have Thomas Rhett. Thomas Rhett is going to

(05:57):
be here with us. His brand new album out today.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
It's so good.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
We're going to play some music and talk to him
about that as well. Busy day, let's get into the
three things we need to know? Gandhi, what's going on
all right?

Speaker 6 (06:07):
A federal judge is ruling that the military cannot turn
away HIV positive enlistees. This week's ruling noted that none
of the Pentagon's arguments in an attempt to bar recruitment
of HIV positive individuals were supported by the evidence. The
judge said that the Pentagon's banning of asymptomatic HIV positive
enlistes is irrational, arbitrary, and capricious, adding that it only

(06:28):
contributes to the ongoing stigma surrounding HIV positive individuals while
actively hampering the military's own recruitment goals.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
The United States.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
Postal Service has a plan to save the money. The
agency said yesterday that it wants to save three billion
dollars annually by adjusting mail delivery times starting next year
due to in decreasing I'm sorry, use of the postal system.
The USPS had more than eighty seven billion dollars in
losses between twenty seven and twenty twenty. The proposal wouldn't
affect medications being mailed, which officials say will still be

(07:00):
delivered at the current speed or faster. Another thing out affected, sadly,
election mail, since the new rules won't go into effect
until twenty twenty five if approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I will always be a fan of the USPS.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Me too.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
I love them. I love them. My dad was a
proud member of the force.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
Yeah, my mom currently still works there and they are
the only people who will deliver everywhere. They'll take kayaks
to certain places, they write donkeys.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
They will get you your mail no matter where you are.
Love the post Office.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Is your mom riding a donkey or floating on a
kayak to deliver?

Speaker 4 (07:31):
Man at the moment, couldn't tell you. I know she's
in New Orleans.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
She's doing something weird, okay, like a by you.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Cruising through by you.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
And finally, an Australian man is under arrest for doing
something I think all of us have thought about but
would never actually do. He left a plane through the
emergency exit and climbed down the jet engine onto the tarmac.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Why are people doing this?

Speaker 6 (07:50):
He was ready to get off the plane. Officials at
Melbourne Airport set a passenger on a jet flight, a
jet Star flight that had just arrived from Sydney, got out,
walked onto the wing on Thursday before climbing onto the
ground where he was immediately detained. You have to wait
in line. I guess he was just fed up. And
those are your three things.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Ready for your Friday. Let's go.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Haha, laugh, Funny Elvis Duran In the Morning Show.

Well, but yeah, okay, I'm not gonna get it.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
The cake that you brought in is delicious, bang in.

Speaker 6 (14:16):

Say appetite for a little chop, right, yeah, that.

Speaker 7 (14:24):
Is a chocolate frost thing.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah. But anyway, so we don't have a knife to
cut the cake, So I will you do that thing?

Speaker 5 (14:30):
That?

Speaker 15 (14:30):
Did?

Speaker 3 (14:31):
You?

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Just you take the cup and put it down on
top of the cake and pull it off.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Yeah, TikTok.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Well, then I went to get the fork out of
the thing that they are knives. They're nothing but knives.
So I ate the cake with a knife.

Speaker 7 (14:41):
As long as it works.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
It did.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
I got my cake in my good.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
It's so good.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
What's that scary? You're gonna start a new TikTok rying down?
We're not eating cakes with knives?

Speaker 6 (14:50):
Well, could possibly go wrong by jamming a knife down
your pie hole?

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Nothing choptacks maybe anyway, Happy birthday two hours, Sam, fantastic.
We're so so excited about today. We have of course
t rhtt. Thomas Rhett will be on later. His album
is out. I know that everyone's loving it. Froggy, you're
loving your brother's your brother's album.

Speaker 15 (15:11):
You know what.

Speaker 16 (15:12):
It's so good and there's some songs on there that
you don't expect normally to have that sound, that sonic
sound from Thomas Rhett, but it is. And that's why
I love him, because he throws a little curveball in
there every now and then.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Chris Martin's gonna be on a little bit later on
from Vienna, he insisted on being on the show today.
Not only does he have an album out, but there's
something going on, something going with Chris Martin. Also, I
had a weird dream about the Weekend last night.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
Oh really, huh?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Was it a sex dream?

Speaker 15 (15:39):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
It was not. Damn No, I don't know. Something's going on.
There's something in the universe that's like, I don't know.
I can't put my and No, I did not have
a dream about Asap Rocky last night. But I mean
we've been talking about him lately. All right, Well, well
we'll figure it all out. There's something going on. Can't
explain it, not explain it. The weekend is here. So

(16:02):
excited about that. I know that this is the day
that Gandhi and Diamond and Andrew and coaster Boy Josh
go on their road trip. How excited are you?

Speaker 6 (16:14):
I'm incredibly excited. We all you know, yesterday we got
the check in alert check in for your flight to
fly out to Jackson Hole.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
So excited. The rental car will be waiting for us.
I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
So you guys are doing at You're doing a car.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yeah, we're doing an suv.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh okay, good, okay, you got a room in there, Yes,
you got to. You got to be able to spread
out a little bit and let it all air out.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
If you don't need to be able to lay down,
if they want to, you know, just relax a little.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Or you know, And it's not unusual out there in
hunting country. You can actually just kind of rope someone
to the roof of the car.

Speaker 6 (16:46):
That's perfect, you know. Fun fact for this road trip.
Our boy Josh is a roadsick type of person. Oh,
he gets carsick very easily.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
That's fine. He has to sit in the front seat.

Speaker 6 (16:55):
Then no, he says that he doesn't like the front
he likes to sit in the back.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Well, that's why he has car sickness.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
They lay down in the back of a car.

Speaker 7 (17:01):
Well, how's it going to lay down?

Speaker 6 (17:02):
There's a lot of people, Well, there's there will be
two rows, so it's like the two people driving and
then two rows.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
So I think he'll be okay.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Well, okay, so you start and flying to Jackson Hall.
Of course, you'll go to Yellowstone, you'll go to the
Tetons and then from there you'll go Glaister National Park.

Speaker 13 (17:18):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
Yes, And everyone has their own opinions on which one
is the most beautiful, and a lot of people are
saying Glacier is the most amazing place that they've ever seen.
So I can't wait. And then and then those are
the three. We're just doing three and then we come home.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Did you actually calculate how much mileage you're gonna be rolling.

Speaker 6 (17:34):
So from Teeton? If you were to just drive straight,
as they say, as the bird flies, as the crow
fly whatever, as the crow flies, it.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Is eight hours.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
However, Yellowstone in itself is the size of Connecticut, I believe,
so it's gonna be a lot longer than that.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
You know, it's still season there, and there are traffic
jams at Yellowstone, believe it or not. But make sure
you go see Old Faithful in that old old Timber
hotel that's right next to it, and like Old Faithful
just shoots its load right there in the sky.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
So I think that's one of the things that makes
Diamond a little bit nervous because we all just watched
a video of one of the guysers like going ham
and exploding a little bit more than it should have
and people running away.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
That was unusual.

Speaker 7 (18:13):
Yeah, are you guys staying in hotels and you're doing restaurants, like, wow, are.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
You all of the above?

Speaker 6 (18:19):
There are some places like right there in the like
our first are and B is in the basin of
gran Teeton.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
So I'm really.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
Excited about that one. Yeah, and we went through all
the itinerary yesterday. There's so much cool.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Did you make your reservations at Jenny Lake Lodge for dinner?

Speaker 4 (18:32):
We did not.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
You got to do that. You need to make a
reservation today Jenny Lake Lodge. Well road trip. Paula is
on the phone.

Speaker 8 (18:41):
Oh, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Well, so you guys landed after driving across the entire
country with your eleven year old who started school on
Wednesday in California. How is she doing? So far?

Speaker 8 (18:54):
So far, so good? They one and two were good.
Day one was better than two. Day two but good.
Made friends. She had two pool parties, one on Sunday,
one on Monday, a play date on Tuesday. Hello, Wednesday.
She's had a very big social life, and we picked
our new car up on Saturdays and we've been very busy.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Wow, whole new city, whole new life. All right. So
Gandhi and the and the crew, they're heading out on
the road. Do you have any road road trip tips?

Speaker 8 (19:26):
Yes, I have actually two. One is to have a
really big bag of stax, because that's really what's left
us to survive. That also led us to not have
real dinners for many nights, but that's okay, but real
slack love of stacks. And then also know where your
gas stations are. Attention to the gast do something happen.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Did you run out of gas at some point?

Speaker 8 (19:50):
Well, there was one point, yes, when we were driving
through Arizona. I was getting a little bit nervous. We
weren't able to find gas stations. The line was getting closed,
and so we're like middles of the desert. It's like
where we go we so, but it's the nerves stopped
and we saw gas isshes.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
There's such a relief, right, there's so many spots out west.
We don't realize it here because there's gas stations everywhere.
But it's you see a science says next gas seventy
three miles, I mean, and there's literally nothing, and then
when you get there, it's gas that's five years old
and it's bad gas. I got bad gas one time, Yes,
I know, last time. Now you know what I mean.

(20:31):
Anybody that's gotten bad gas knows their car doesn't run right,
so it's it's just putting along and not really accelerating. God,
I can't believe there's a bad gas out there. Gas Okay,
So Paula says, gas up, know where your gas stations are,
and take some snacks. I love it, Paula. You have
a beautiful weekend, and thanks for checking in with us.

I'm sorry anyone.

Like I said, if you guys ever have a couple
of days and anyone wants to come join us, come
join us. Diamond is already anxious for multiple reasons, but
she is packed and ready to go.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Her stuff is in there right now.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Anxious.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Andrew and I haven't packed yet.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Just because Gandhi talks about wanting to see these wild
animals and it's her.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
So she's gonna, you know, pretend as if she wants
to get close, and that's not happening.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well, you know, the chance of seeing wild animals at
Yellowstone is great, but you'll be in your vehicle, so
you're good. Yes, yeah, and do not get out of
the vehicle when you see wild animals.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
Oh, they told us the opposite.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
They said, if everyone's pulled over, pull over and hop
out because there's probably something there.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
No, they didn't say to get out, they said pull
over or slow down. Diamond needs our own reality show.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Oh my god, it sounds like they all do. All right.
I don't know, you know, let's let's connect. Maybe I
can find a way to fly into some little airport somewhere. Well, hello, okay,
I know you don't have room in that.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
SUV's it's a big suv. We'll get you in there anyway.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Danielle, it's time. What do you have going on?

Speaker 3 (22:02):
All right?

Speaker 7 (22:02):
So, Sabrina Carpenter was talking about her hit song Espresso
and how it has affected her cafe experiences. She says
that she feels like an idiot when ordering coffee and
she feels pressure to order espresso. She says she often
opts for tea instead, but she says, they're always waiting
for me to say it, and then I go I'll

(22:22):
have the tea. They don't expect that. She also said that, uh,
it's an emotional process of creating the song during a
hectic tour schedule. And she also says she even collaborated
on an espresso flavored ice cream, which I told you
guys about a couple miles a couple of months back.
Her new album Short and Sweet is out today. A
lot of new albums out today, well Sabrina Carpenter, Thomas Rhett,

(22:45):
Laney Wilson. So a lot of good music out today
if you want to get your hands on that. Meganie
Sallion has been announced as this year's host for the
MTV Video Music Awards. It's not her first time she's hosted.
She did co host The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
and she hosted SNL, so she's very excited to be there.
It's all going to be happening September eleventh, the MTV

(23:06):
Video Music Awards. So this is crazy. So a Maclamore
fan got called up on stage to sing along with
him at a recent concert in Slovakia. It was a
great night, right, but apparently that person forgot that the
police were looking for them. So the fan went online
and bragged about the duet. Somebody tipped the police who

(23:29):
got into contact with the concert venue and the next
thing you know, the person got arrested. So Maclamore helped
with getting somebody arrested who needed to get arrested.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
On movie, it does. Yes, if you're like, if the
law is looking for you, maybe you shouldn't get on stage.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
Probably not, or brag about it online, you know, and
talk all about it.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Or do a morning show you so.

Speaker 7 (23:52):
Jenna Ortega says that she's not really afraid of anything,
but she was terrified to film season two of Wednesday
because it had been since Wednesday and we shopped the
first one so long ago. But she was talking to
Jimmy Fallon and she said, we did that like two
or three years ago in Romania. By the way, I
don't know if you guys knew that, and I was
just overthinking it. But once I was there, once I

(24:13):
put on my costume, I was already and I remember
it and I got right back into it. And we
can't wait till till we see it. I know it's
gonna be a little darker this season, so that will
be interesting. Jennifer Lopez apparently has a seventeen million dollar
collection of engagement rings, including the five point six million
dollar rings she got from ben Affleck.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Wait, so seventeen million dollars worth ring there, I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
She doesn't usually give rings back. And she has like
six engagement rings. Some of them you know, were marriages,
some of them didn't lead to the marriage.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
She's got engagement rings and houses she does.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
She's got a museum.

Speaker 7 (24:46):
She collects a lot of things. Jellyrow was interviewed by
hotels dot com and he shared some of his favorite
hotel acts that he's learned over the years. He said,
first of all, if you ever want lake checkout, you
got to come into the hotel late at night because
the late person will totally check you out. Later in
the morning, they'll put it in the system and you
should have no problems. He says, I don't have that

(25:07):
problem anytime. And then he said that we were so
broke at one point that we were sleeping in our
van outside of a Hampton Inn, and then we wanted
the Continental breakfast, which obviously we didn't pay for it
because we weren't staying at the hotel. He said, so
all you do is you walk in, you act like
you're there, and you go to your friends. All right,
I'll see in the room in a minute. And you

(25:28):
walk right into the breakfast. They're not going to question you,
and you get your free breakfast. And I've done it
before where I wanted to do a couple things in
a hotel where I walked in and acted like I
actually stayed there and I wasn't.

Speaker 6 (25:39):
Did we just ruin it for everyone? Though now we
might have it?

Speaker 2 (25:43):

and things like that.

Speaker 7 (38:39):
All right, the dinosaurs are about to come out.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
All right, let's get into the three things we need
to know from Gandhi. What's going on Gandhi? All right,
let's start with anything. Just make up a story at
this point, all right.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
The FDA is approving this season's updated Maderna and Pfizer
COVID nineteen vaccines. Of course, they're designed to target the
KP two star and are approved for those twelve years
and older. The journal's CEO says that COVID remains a
significant health risk and the shot remains one of the
best ways for people to be protected and prevent severe illness.
The company said it expects the updated vaccine to be

(39:12):
available soon. A new study finds it as much as
two thirds of infant and toddler food sold in the
US supermarkets is unhealthy.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
No, he's a toddler.

Speaker 4 (39:25):
He probably eats it. He seems like somebody who eats
baby food.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
You eat baby food.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Mike's not on Yes, he does, go ahead, great.

Speaker 6 (39:32):
The George Institute for a Global Health looked at six
hundred and fifty one food products sold in ten different
grocery chains and found that all of them made prohibited
claims on the packaging. Some seventy percent didn't meet nutritional
requirements and more than forty percent had more sugar than recommended.
Some didn't have enough calories, others had too much sodium.
So double check on baby food apparently if you are

(39:52):
eating it or using it for babies. And finally, there
is a new launch date for a SpaceX mission designed
to advance the future of spaceflight. The company Money will
delay lift off of Polari's Dawn by one day in
order to allow for more pre flight checkups. That means
that if everything goes as planned, a private crew launched
will take place at the Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday,
August twenty seventh. The group of trained specialists are expected

(40:15):
to attempt the first ever commercial spacewalk. And those are
your three things.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Thank you, Gandhi Adele.

Speaker 1 (40:23):

Wow, the weekend is here. We are so excited to
have not one, but two of our really good friends on.
Later on, Chris Martin from Coldplay will be on, and
also Thomas Rhett is going to be on. I know
that you and Froggy especially you two are so so
but we're all excited about Thomas Ht's new album.

Speaker 7 (41:03):
I listened to it on the way in this morning.
It's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
You know something we should bring up to Thomas Rhett,
mister rhet when he shows up, is each one of
you have a connection with him in one way or another,
as he says he's had with us. And I heard
someone say that he said he wanted to come on
our show share some music with us.

Speaker 15 (41:22):
Right.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
He did do that, Frog, He absolutely did.

Speaker 16 (41:24):
They reached out to me a couple of weeks ago
and said that when he was going to be in
New York for the album release party, he wanted to
make sure that he could be a part of our
show because he enjoyed coming here and it's always been
such a great experience.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
They're celebrating this new album. I heard they were out
late somewhere here in town at a bar drinking a lot,
so we'll find out more about that. Of course, Thomas
Rhett will be at our iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by
Capitol One in September with du Aalipa, Halsey, Big Sean,
Comunicybeo Dojaquet. You know, the list goes on and on,
so Thomas Rhtt there and now I feel like we're

(41:58):
adding more today. Well yes, the answer yes we are.
Oh okay, probably God in a couple hours less than
what I say the names roughly.

Speaker 7 (42:08):
What would happen if you just said it?

Speaker 4 (42:10):
What does happen?

Speaker 7 (42:11):
Do you get in trouble some type a siren?

Speaker 20 (42:12):
God?

Speaker 2 (42:13):
I don't even know what kind of trouble that would be.

Speaker 7 (42:14):
I don't think anything, so I'd just do it, Okay,
do it?

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (42:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (42:19):
One time I posted something a few hours before it
was supposed to be posted, and there was like a meltdown.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
An immediate melt down.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Then what do they do?

Speaker 4 (42:27):
My phone rang probably one hundred and twenty times. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
You still here? You still work here?

Speaker 3 (42:32):
I do?

Speaker 4 (42:32):
You're right?

Speaker 2 (42:32):
I mean, I don't want to disappoint people who've actually
planned the announcement to happen at a certain time. They
have a roadmap, You're right, okay, and they somehow think
we're going to follow it.

Speaker 7 (42:43):
Yeah, I guess if they put so much planning into it,
I don't want to ruin it from me.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
What would happen if I went ahead and announced the
three people that were adding today? Okay, so if Gandhi
did it, there would be phone calls. If you did it,
there wouldn't be well no, no, But I don't want
to disappoint them because you know, well what Tom Pullman
on the phone?

Speaker 7 (43:01):
What if you did one.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Call Tom Pullman on speaker.

Speaker 7 (43:06):
Like, out of the three, which is the least important.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Okay, now I'm gonna announce that. Hold on, let's see
if she's she's not answering because she hears us talking
about her.

Speaker 6 (43:21):
Who else?

Speaker 7 (43:22):
We call Mark? Call Mark?

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yeah, answer no, because he'll come up with a smart
reason not to do it.

Speaker 15 (43:29):
Right.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
All right, Well, here's the thing. We're adding three more
people to the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and this one time,
I'm gonna play along. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna do what they've asked me to do. Okay,
you're a good boy. Who is this guy? But gosh,
we need to do it a sap, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, I mean because it's because I mean,

(43:53):
the longer we wait, people start guessing and it gets
a little rocky. So anyway, but the weekend and so
we've just to celebrate.

Speaker 7 (44:01):
Yep, I'm really cold. Could you just play something so
I can go to the bathroom and I'll get my blanket.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
I don't know what that means. We'll get that done.
It's just anyway, moving on. I don't I just don't
want to announce it anything yet. Here's what's on our
list of things to talk about today because I had
slated for this break, go ahead and blow it.

Speaker 6 (44:24):
Oh damn. I mean I really want to know what
would happen if you did?

Speaker 4 (44:28):
You know. I feel like it's okay, okay nothing.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Can we talk about j Loo's seventeen million dollar engagement
ring collection that was Danielle was talking about earlier.

Speaker 4 (44:35):
Yeah, it's a genius way to make money, so go
to there.

Speaker 7 (44:38):
He doesn't need the money.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
But she's got quite a collection. I mean, she's got
the first engagement yep. She married Oh Johnny, honey, honey,
and divorced him one hundred and thirty thousand dollars ring.

Speaker 7 (44:54):
Oh on the lower end please, yeah, Well they weren't
famous then, yet they she was famous. He wasn't expensive.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
There's one hundred and thirty thousand dollars compared to what
you're gonna say in a few seconds. Okay, Chris Judge
ring was worth two hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Ben Affleck's first ring, I think two point six million.

Speaker 7 (45:13):
That was the pink one. Remember when she was in
the studio, she showed that pink ring to us, but.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
They never made it to the altar. No, right, but
she kept the ring.

Speaker 7 (45:20):
I thought you had to give him back. I think
you have to give it back unless it's a gift.
That's what I would think legally.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
I think there are some what well, okay, so if
you give somebody, if you propose on like a holiday
like Valentine's Day, Christmas, their birthday, then it's considered a gift.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
Yeah, and you don't have to give it back.

Speaker 6 (45:37):
If you don't propose on one of those, then it's
a gift in contemplation. And when you don't fulfill the promise,
you got to give the ring.

Speaker 7 (45:43):
But is different in every state.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Probably, But wouldn't it make ben Affleck look like a
total ass if he sued Jennifer Lopez to get his
ring back. Hell no, when you talk about how much
money that is, well make an asshole. That was two
point six million. Then there's the ring for Mark Anthony.
It was worth six and a half million dollars and
they got married, stay married, I mean for six years.

Speaker 7 (46:04):
Yeah, so that she's not going to give back because
she married the guy.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Sure, and they had twins. Yeah, okay, Alex Rodriguez, that
was just a paltry two million dollar ring, but they
split up, never never got married. Then the new ring
from ben Affleck, ring number two five point six million dollars,
so total value a little over seventeen million dollars worth
of rings. Wow, damn. So there's that.

Speaker 6 (46:28):
I wonder what would happen to her hand if she
wore them all at the same time.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
You could see it from outer space.

Speaker 4 (46:34):
Probably it really.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
Is like Santos, She just connects, collects all the rings,
snaps her fingers wheel.

Speaker 7 (46:38):
Don't you think a big ring like on your finger
like that like weighs you down, like you're dragging your
hand across the floor.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Hell yeah, And you know what, A good friend of
mine has a really really nice ring and she wears
it on the subway and in the streets of New York.
I mean, whatait you do? Don't chop your finger off?

Speaker 15 (46:55):
Ring?

Speaker 7 (46:56):
I have a friend who has the real one, and
then she has an identical fake one that she wears
when we go other places that she doesn't want to
wear it.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
Okay, but they will chop your finger off for a
fake one.

Speaker 7 (47:05):
I said the same thing, but she doesn't seem to
think of it that way.

Speaker 6 (47:09):
Am I the only one I know? I'm gonna be
the only one who thinks it's so tacky to what
a six million dollar ring? It's a little big.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
I feel like it just looks tacky.

Speaker 7 (47:19):
I agree, it's too much. I don't know, it's too much.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
That's ever giving.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Me one for me like a Lamborghini would be the
same thing. It's like, I'd rather have a Mini Cooper
in this little ring right here.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
Yeah, I just feel like when you try to be like,
look at me, look at me, I don't know, there's
something tacky about it.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Well, somebody says you don't have to give the ring
back because it's considered a gift. So I'm wondering if
this is based on personal experience or I don't know. Well,
Gandhi kind of spelled it out. I mean, I don't
know a different way.

Speaker 4 (47:50):
I learned it.

Speaker 6 (47:51):
You learned it, Yes, I did learn it tool in
my legal classes.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
You took legal classes.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
I did.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
I took free law.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
My gosh, you and kardash.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
Yeah, the two of us. I'd like to be a
lawyer someday.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
You know.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
I never could become a lawyer because I just can't.
I mean, I I just can't pass a bar.

Speaker 7 (48:13):
Okay, hey, okay, I.

Speaker 6 (48:18):
Can see you getting held in contempt of court like
immediately for you ole.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
People, you would be thrown in the slammer for years.
You're your contempt. You contempt every day. You're not gonna
be contempting.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
Maybe you get out a line, yell at a judge.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Game over, Oh right, hold on, Nate. Nate's whispering to
someone over there. But I don't know. I think we'd
covered this, didn't we.

Speaker 6 (48:41):
I can't hear it, answers the phone, and he can't hear.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
He can't hear what line they are. I couldn't hear
you hung up out of frustration.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
You hung up on someone.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
I couldn't hear him. I take me up to speak
of talking about where we what we heard on the
subway yesterday? We were we were taking the subway down
to meet you for lunch. Okay, and the guy on
the microphone car front, shorty foot right, what's the point?

Speaker 4 (49:16):
I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
No one understood what he was saying.

Speaker 6 (49:19):
A very time they do that, I think I'm having
a stroke. I'm like, what, oh no, it was like
Charlie Brown's t.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
Through the gate. What we're supposed to do something through
a gate? And so Nate, you know, having not an
ounce of core and whatsoever, screams out on the train.
What's the point I did? And then the guys that
were sitting across from us looked at him like he
was being rude screaming. It looked like any other crazy
person on the subway. And then the doors closed, doors

(49:55):
call right, it's like I want it, he screams out again.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
What's the point?

Speaker 2 (50:05):
I want to know if that's the system or that
guy's mic technique. We could give him a lesson quickly.
I heard him like I heard him in the booth
speaking in live voice. It's just it was him, you know,
he's jacking around with us on purpose. Why other Seriously,
I don't even figure it out. I don't know. But

(50:27):
welcome so and Nate says, well, if you're visiting from
another city or another country and you're supposed to rely
on this man on the microphone to tell you how
good luck.

Speaker 6 (50:37):
Good luck, you got to look at the things on
the on the ceiling that tells you.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Where you are, or ask the ask the person. If
you speak English, ask the person next to you, maybe
speaking another language. Maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
That's funny to me, it's funny. Do you have a
sense of humor? El Vis Duran in the morning show
The Elvis durand phone tap.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
So a producer sam, phone tap tobally have you done
this before? You've done tanndem once? Right, yest? Not on
my own? So this is your first time on your own?

Speaker 5 (51:12):
This is my very first time.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
I mean, this could be fantastic or it could crash
and burn.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
That's just every day of my life.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
So yes, all right, So what's your phone tap all about?

Speaker 3 (51:21):
All right?

Speaker 5 (51:21):
So Lauren's getting married soon and has been driving her
bridesmaids crazy.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
I don't like to use the.

Speaker 5 (51:26):
Word bridezilla, but her bridemaid Angie said she needs to
lighten up a tat. So she had an issue with
the delivery of her bridesmaid's dresses. And even though it
has been worked out, I called from the store to
say maybe not.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
You shouldn't mess with these people, are right, Elvis. Let's
see what happens in Sam's phone.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
Tap Hi, Lauren, It's Candice. I'm calling you from Brass Doubt.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
How are you?

Speaker 7 (51:47):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (51:47):
Hi, Hi, yes, Hi, just wanted to speak to you
about your order. I see here you ordered the Jenny
U Annabel convertible dress in cinnamon rows, although there was
a little mishap and your bridesmaids all got them in
an alpine.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 16 (52:01):
And then I spoke to I spoke to Jessica H,
I think, and she told me that they're going to
change it.

Speaker 4 (52:06):
They send it all this to that's fun.

Speaker 6 (52:08):
Yes, right, I do have that here in my notes.

Speaker 5 (52:10):
However, I have to inform you Jessica H has since
been fired. She's actually been making a lot of mistakes
in the business, and this is one of them. The
dress instead of two to three days is going to
take about two to three weeks order in that correct color.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Okay, I don't have I don't have two three weeks.
I have I have my wedding in two weeks. And
you understand that I spoke to Jessica.

Speaker 15 (52:32):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (52:32):
Can I teach your manager? Actually you are speaking to
the manager again? Hi, I'm Candace.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Uh Hi, I have a wedding in two weeks. I
know I spoke to Jessica.

Speaker 7 (52:43):
It's not high fault that she's.

Speaker 8 (52:45):
Whatever the hell she is.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
You're right, but I needed to get those dresses, and.

Speaker 4 (52:49):
So we're going to work through this together. Lauren.

Speaker 5 (52:52):
First of all, i'd love to beg you to reconsider.
Don't you think your women would look great in the
Alpine scheme.

Speaker 17 (52:57):
You want to play in my wedding?

Speaker 19 (52:58):
Right now?

Speaker 4 (52:59):
What is your Candice Cannis?

Speaker 2 (53:02):
Hi, I wanted them in a specific color.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
What I can do for you is in the correct color.
How do you feel about feminine twists on tuxedos. We
can get the cumber bunt to match perfectly. I think
it's very progressive for this day and age. I really
think you're going to be a hit on Instagram.

Speaker 19 (53:19):
I'm talking to niot.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
I'm talking to idiot.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
It's important to remember that weddings and marriage in general,
they're about compromise, and I think this is a good
place to start practicing.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
Okay, so one thing you are you a therapist.

Speaker 8 (53:32):
You're telling me it's important.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Okay, hear me out.

Speaker 5 (53:36):
What about rompers a little more feminine than tuxedos?

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Are you serious or not?

Speaker 7 (53:42):
Is this a joke?

Speaker 9 (53:43):
I have to have these stresses.

Speaker 7 (53:45):
You have to make them with the colors that I want.

Speaker 4 (53:49):
Do you speak to.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
Your husband with that voice, Lauren? A little aggressive?

Speaker 9 (53:53):
You just tell me how I speaks to my husband.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Do not talk to me like that.

Speaker 8 (53:57):
You have no right to talk.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
To me like that.

Speaker 7 (54:00):
I why dressed.

Speaker 8 (54:05):
Wearing around?

Speaker 4 (54:06):
Lauren, take a deep breath, because you.

Speaker 8 (54:09):
Have no friend. I have a wedding. I'm getting married.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
I asked you to make the stresses, so.

Speaker 5 (54:16):
Just to be clear for my notes, that is a
no to the toxedos and cinnamon role.

Speaker 6 (54:22):
Oh my god, Oh my god, Lauren, Lauren.

Speaker 5 (54:27):
Okay, I have someone on the phone I think you
might want to talk to.

You know.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Well, some of us need an ego blast. This is
this is all I get mine. Welcome to New York City.
Thanks dude, you look great on the Tonight show. There
the nightk you, thank you. It was so fun. Jimmy
Fallons is the nicest guy ever.

Speaker 19 (57:32):
Right, he is the nicest and I've you know, I've
hung out with him a couple of times, just like
at the tonight show, but I got to really get
to know him last night.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
It was really cool. We talked golf.

Speaker 19 (57:40):
I'm gonna try to come up here. We're planning a
golf trip together, which is really nice. So he's he's
the best dude. He's just such a good energy and
the whole I mean, just watching the roots that's the
most nerve wracking part of playing Facon.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Yeah. They are amazing because they're.

Speaker 19 (57:53):
Just kind of sitting there looking at you, like impress us,
and you're sitting on me and the whole band.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Guys are going, we are not as good as you. Guys. Well,
here's the thing. I know those guys and they are
impressed so good. So about a woman came out last night. Yeah,
and everyone's talking about everyone's buzzing about it. We're going
to play a couple of cuts, Yeah, a couple of seconds.
Amazing because you and I was saying this before you
came in, you just have this desire to run around
and just share your music with whoever's going to listen
to it. Yeah, And if you've always been this way,

(58:20):
I've always kind of been that way.

Speaker 19 (58:21):
I love playing songs for people, especially, and I'm excited
about it and I have never to be honest, I've
never been.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
This excited about a project.

Speaker 19 (58:29):
And I don't know why. Maybe it's turning thirty and
I care less about what people think. But like, this
was the most freeing album to make. I didn't look left,
didn't look right, and it was just like if it
put a smile on my face, that was good for me.
And so spent the last year and a half making
this project and I can't believe that it is finally
out in the world and so freaking pumped.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Some great things have happened in the music world since
last week spoke, which was years ago. Yeah, there is
this convention of thought now about how music is music.
Songs are songs, yeah, with them in a corral and
saying it, well, that's whatever top forties song. Yeah, yeah,
that stuff is. Those walls are dissolving, they're yeah, they're
dissolving fast. Yeah, because of you, your thing, It's because

(59:10):
of me.

Speaker 15 (59:10):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
This album, for instance, right now, right now, about a woman.
There's a lot of different sounds on this music team sonically,
this this album is covering all sorts of territory, foundational, Yeah,
for sure. That's how I grew up.

Speaker 15 (59:25):
Man.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
You know, I grew up with a dad that was.

Speaker 19 (59:26):
A country singer, and so you know, country music was
my very first love. I got to tour with him,
I got to watch him write songs got to watch
and perform. But dude, I mean I remember vividly driving
to school with my dad in like fourth and fifth grade,
and every morning it was something different. One morning it
would be DMX, like, which, yeah, I was listening to
DMX in fourth grade, right, all right. One morning it
was DMX, one morning it was Aretha Franklin, one morning

(59:48):
it was bluegrass, one morning it was the Rolling Stones
or the Beatles or whatever it was. And so my
dad has always just been this walking jukebox. Like, honestly,
no one knows more about eighties hair metal than my dad.
There you go, wow yeah, like, And so I think
when I started making music, country was always the core,
but I loved so many other things, and I always thought, man,
what if I could take that from that and kind

(01:00:09):
of use a little bit of this from this and
kind of blended into my own little thing. And so
ever since my second album, I've always kind of taken
pride and just kind of pushing, you know, pushing sonically, melodically,
but also still just staying authentic to my my songwriting roots.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
And I was assuming that a lot of traditionalists in
the country world are who grew up in country music,
or saying well, I don't know, this is Thomas Shrett.
He really yeah, that didn't sound like something I grew
up with that what is that?

Speaker 19 (01:00:33):
But I think that changes every decade, you know what
I mean saying like, I think I'm sure that there
were people that looked at you know, Riba and Shannai
and Dalli and they were like, well.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
That's not that's not real country, right, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 19 (01:00:42):
Everybody, everybody pushes every decade, but it's like when the
decade passes, you go, oh, that's that was real, you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Know what I'm saying.

Speaker 19 (01:00:49):
Like, I remember when I put this song out called
make Me Want. It was my third single off my
first record, and it almost felt like a disco country song.
It was like the bee Gees had a baby with like,
you know, a country singer or whatever. And at the time,
it was very weird for country radio, and it sat
at forty for like forty weeks, and then all of
a sudden it just kind of started climbing thirty eight,

(01:01:11):
thirty four, twenty eight, and all of a sudden it
became a hit. And to me, that was like, okay,
if I can do that, that that just made a
way for me. It opened up doors for me to
be able to do things that I would have never
been on to do had that song that worked. And
so I always loved pushing boundaries. Man, it's fun to
not live in a box.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Amen, so in a corral if you want to keep
it on the corral. So here's a great story about
looking at it the other direction, Danielle right here. Yeah,
grew up in the Bronx yep. All right, see, so
you grew up your musical influences growing up.

Speaker 7 (01:01:42):
I listened to a lot of hip hop growing up.
I listened to a lot of Top forty growing up.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Country did you listen to.

Speaker 7 (01:01:47):
I didn't listen to country until college, really, And why.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Did you listen to.

Speaker 7 (01:01:51):
So Pam Tillis? Oh yeah, stuff like that. And I
did a country show on the radio station, fell in
love with country and love Love. That was one of
the genres of music that I fell in love with.
And then you you know, listen to yourself. I mean,
Center Point Road is one of my favorite albums.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Serious.

Speaker 7 (01:02:09):
I actually wrote down when you when you say the
lyric because he talked about his wife all the time.
I love the relationship. It's cutest thing ever. Thank you
for living this dream I know you never had.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
It's one of one of my favorite songs.

Speaker 7 (01:02:21):
Yes, and it's one of I'm like, that is just
I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:24):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
I had no idea we're gonna talk about deep country. Yeah, Okayla,
let's move over here to Gandhi. Gandhi grew up listening
to solely music, for instance, much.

Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
More hip hop.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
Absolutely.

Speaker 6 (01:02:38):
However, the first country I was really introduced to was.

Speaker 19 (01:02:40):
Actually, you know this, y'all are y'all are making all
that you'll got together last night?

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
Y'all did not get together last night. And this is
this is all truth.

Speaker 6 (01:02:50):
Yeah. So my boyfriend when we first started dating, the
first song that he sent me was look what God
gave her off that album? Yes, and that was his like, Hey,
just so you know I love you. This song makes
me think about you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:03:02):
And now every time that I hear that one, I'm like,
you know, country music not so bad, coming on. You
were my first sort of like foot in the water
as far as country music goes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Dude, Wow, it's amazing. As far as you starting starting
playing music on your guitar, what's the first song you
ever learned how to play.

Speaker 19 (01:03:17):
We were just talking about that two seconds ago. It
was three Am by Matchbox twenty. It was the first
song ever learned, and two weeks ago I got to
sing it with Matchbox twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:03:26):
Okay, in the know that performance, was there a chance
you could have just frozen up right there and we're like,
what the hell is this? This is pretty amazing.

Speaker 19 (01:03:33):
So I literally I told because me and I'd never
met Rob before, being like, so they were actually one
of my first concerts. I saw Matchbox twenty and their
openers were third eyelind in American Hiphi Wow. And I
still have the T shirt to this day. So like now,
I've always been a huge Maxbox fan. So last year
on the road, we did this like decades bit where
we went from the fifties to now and we played

(01:03:54):
like an elvistoon, a James Brown tuon a Rolling Stones
tune and in our nineties era we played three Am.
I Rob commented on my Instagram page. I was like,
holy crap, you know, I'm a giant fan. And so
we got put on the same bill up in Canada
at this festival called Boots and Hearts, and so it
was like them opening for me, and I was like,
this is wrong, this feels very strange. And Rob's management

(01:04:15):
emailed and said, hey, what do you want to sing
three AM with us?

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
And I was like yes, And did they know the
story behind the song? No, he didn't know.

Speaker 19 (01:04:22):
And I met him at catering and I straight up fangirl,
you know, like right there getting brisket, you know?

Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
So okay, Now let's talk about Froggy for instance. Foggie,
of course is the new face of country radio. What's
up there? He's running awards?

Speaker 15 (01:04:36):
Enough?

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Frog, look at your troubador hat?

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
I know? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:04:39):
Do you want to do you want to admit? Do
you want to admit to h Thomas Rhett what you
did when you illegally? Did I?

Speaker 15 (01:04:46):
Did?

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
I do? Tell him? All right, Thomas?

Speaker 16 (01:04:48):
If you remember we did the iHeart Country Summit in
Nashville back in February, and you played us five or
six tracks off.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
Of this new album.

Speaker 16 (01:04:55):
Yeah, I put my phone under my seat and recorded
everything for you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
You played the good for you. There needs to be
more of that happening.

Speaker 16 (01:05:03):
And I'll tell you that I have shared something about
a woman with everybody because it is so different. It's
aintly Man, thank you anything else you've done. But I
have a little insight into this. I know there's fourteen
songs on the album. Yeah, how many songs did you
write to get to these fourteen songs?

Speaker 2 (01:05:19):
About your wife?

Speaker 15 (01:05:19):
Lauren? Man?

Speaker 19 (01:05:20):
We started this, the process of picking this record from
I think there was one hundred and fifty songs, and
I'm I'm just a songwriter first and foremost, so there's
never a time when I'm not writing. So like, I mean,
I was literally having dinner with my producers last night,
and I was like, we were literally just talking about
what are we doing next? Like the album hasn't even
come out yet, and we're already on to like what's
going to happen next? And so whittling down from one

(01:05:41):
hundred and fifty songs down to fourteen is such a brutal,
you know, just a brutal thing to do because you're
you're basically getting rid of you know, things right that
you still love. But ultimately, man, yeah it was it
was a lot of tunes that we whittled down fourteen
and uh yeah, I'm just pumped about it.

Speaker 16 (01:05:56):
So how does that process work? And does Lauren have
any say so? Whatsoever in the fourteen songs.

Speaker 19 (01:06:02):
Dude, she I mean her and my kids both had
a huge part in this album because my wife, you know,
I used to play her everything that I would write,
and now it's gotten to the point where she gets
this thing called demo itis. If you know what demo
ititis is, It's like it's playing you a song in
its most like raw form, and then you actually go
into the studio and cut it and you can't unhear

(01:06:22):
the demo, and so you're just stuck with not liking
the new project, if that makes any sense. And so
I have now gotten to the point where I will
finish albums and then I will play them for her
so that she doesn't even have the chance to get
demo ititis.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
So let's kind of slippery, Yeah, slippery and slimy yah,
Yeah for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
So many songs or all of them are about her?
Does she ever hear one and say what the hell
is that?

Speaker 1 (01:06:44):
Or I love this?

Speaker 4 (01:06:45):
Oh my god?

Speaker 19 (01:06:46):
I think her biggest thing this record. When I found
out that I was gonna call it about a woman
and kind of dedicate this album to her, she was like,
is this record gonna make me dance? That was like
the one thing because when that's a fair question. When
I write love songs, they normally come out in the
form of a ballad. They come out slow, like that's
just I don't know why that is. But thanks to
the co writers and my producers, we really took even

(01:07:07):
slow ideas and just made them up and made them
fun and made them joyful. And so I think that
this is my wife's favorite record because it is so just.

Speaker 2 (01:07:16):
Fun and about her. Let's play, Let's play a song. Yeah, okay,
of course the album out last night. It's it's out
now about a woman. Of course, this is something not
a woman. Let's not a woman.

Speaker 7 (01:07:30):
I learned that so long ago when Froggy played for me.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
It sounds so much. Yeah, studio mixed that. He did
what I have on my phone. He recorded that song
with his phone under his seat, and of course he
had had some tacos the day before. So you heard
a little symphony from Froggy. Oh my gosh, Froggy's remixed
anyway about a woman is out. Thomas Redd is here.

(01:07:55):
We have more coming up after this.

(01:08:25):
is here, and that we're celebrating, of course, about a woman.
Let's talk about celebrating a new album. Yeah, that must
be like Christmas morning here it is. Yeah, it's out.
Let's just party, Yeah it is. How have you celebrated
the release of this album so far?

Speaker 15 (01:08:39):
Man?

Speaker 19 (01:08:40):
We've been in New York, Okay, and this is my
This is one of my favorite places to celebrate. Like,
my wife and I like come here. We try to
come here once a year for sure during Christmas time
because we just love being in New York during Christmas.
But yeah, all my you know, all my band, all
my crew is here. We got together and had dinner
last night and uh stayed out a little bit too lately.
Tequila involved. There's some tequila champagne. I think that was

(01:09:00):
my problem. I mixed a few different things. That's like
a champagne and an old fashioned then some wine, you know,
it's like, yeah, I think after you're thirty you can't
do that anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
Oh no, well I just turned sixteen. I'm doing just
fine or whatever you're doing. Gravity is not as good.
I mean, my man, boobs are dragging my kneecaps and
it will happened to you one to day.

Speaker 7 (01:09:22):
Can I ask about the competition you have with your
wife on Instagram? Yeah, that you both designed like the
album cover. Yeah, and you're like, let's see whose album
is gonna sell faster, her album cover or your album going?
So how's that going?

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
What do y'all think?

Speaker 7 (01:09:35):
I think she's winning.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
She is by a long shot.

Speaker 15 (01:09:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
It honestly started. I wanted to do something.

Speaker 19 (01:09:41):
I wanted to see what kind of loyalty people had
for me, and I was quickly I quickly realized that
no one had any loyalty towards me. It was all
towards my wife. But we're huge college football fans. I'm
a diehard Georgia Bulldog fan Goodbye to heen uh and
my wife is a diehard Tennessee Volunteers fan. So we
made literally just like one thousand of eight. Each one's
got like a Georgia red cover and one's got the

(01:10:02):
Tennessee Orange cover and she's beat me by like sixty percent.

Speaker 2 (01:10:05):
Oh wow, Yeah, let's put something to rest right now.
I know there was an article out not too long
ago saying that there was at one point in your
in your relationship with with your wife where it was
they use the word imploding, right, and uh, I know
for a fact through friends of mine that you did
not truly agree with that that that writing of that article,

(01:10:25):
which is why I love the fact that this is live. Sure,
So what you say now, we cannot edit it down there?
We feel like it should be. Yeah, No, I mean
I get it.

Speaker 19 (01:10:34):
I get that you have to put things on covers
to make people want to read them. Like I was
actually joking with somewhat one of my friends last night
and he was like, what did you want them to say?

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
We've never been better? Like, who's going to buy that?
You know what I mean? And so, yeah, I mean
marriage is tough, dude. Likely it's tough.

Speaker 19 (01:10:50):
And doing it with four children while being gone one
hundred and eighty days a year, it's hard.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
You know, Well, let's talk about that. You know, you
you write all these songs, you said you had what
the possibility of one hundred and fifty different songs you
could have sifted through to put on this album. Yeah,
the process, the creative process, I know for a fact
all artists, be it painters or musicians or whatever. Yeah,
they're gonna come into a point in their their lives
where they just can't find the words, they can't find

(01:11:19):
the vibe. Sure, what do you do? What is your
advice for all of us who are totally lost in
the world? How do you find the vibe again and go, Okay,
we're back on the road, roller Coastal this make this work?

Speaker 19 (01:11:32):
Yeah, it's it's it's It's different for every artist, right
because when you're when you're brand new, you're brand new.
Like one thing that I will never be again is
brand new, you know what I'm saying. And so as
you continue to put records out. This is my seventh album,
I've covered so much territory sonically, melodically, lyrically, and so
when you're sitting down to write a new project, it
really for me, I just have to get inspired somehow,

(01:11:52):
and usually for me that it's going out west and
so like being in nature, being in the mountains sort
of like refreshes my soul. And also every project, I
always try to work with different people that I've never
worked with before, right, because you're gonna get different things
from different people. But I remember me and Julian, my producer,
sat on the bus a year and a half ago.
He's like, what do you want to do on this record?
And I said, I just want it to be full
of bangers. I just want a record full of bangers.

(01:12:17):
And so when you when you kind of discover like
that's the mission. Not every album has to have this
like crazy deep well, I saw this wildflower, you know,
driving from Austin to New Mexico, and it sparked this
whole Every record doesn't have to be that way. Sometimes
sometimes something that's just fun can be enough of an
inspiration to write a whole record. And so for me

(01:12:38):
on this album, like it was really just trying to
find new ways to say I love you, you know, and
I've said that a million times. But I love writing
love songs and I love trying to find unique ways
to kind of, you know, show that. And I think
production helps a lot too.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
So how much do you love doing what you do?
I mean asking it today? I first freaking love it
it's the first full day of your album out. Yeah,
so of course you're going to say that, but you
have love it is that also where you find your inspiration.
You have to remind yourself everyone smile, Oh my god,
I'm doing something. God something and a great family, great
friends and this incredible gift.

Speaker 19 (01:13:13):
You gotta love it a million. I mean, it doesn't
matter what job you do. There are parts of your
job that are not your favorite part of your job.
But dude, it's like the whole culmination of it, like
the sitting there and grinding for six hours just to
find a second verse or to find a great bridge melody,
and you kind of go, man, was it worth the
six hours? And then it actually was worth it? And

(01:13:35):
then it goes on the record, and then it goes
on the radio, and then the full culmination as you
walking on stage and watching someone light up when those
first notes come out of your guitar.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 19 (01:13:43):
There is no feeling like that, because when you are songwriting,
there's so many days where no one has any ideas.
When I was talking about this with a couple of
the writers last night, it's like, it's amazing how it
genuinely just miraculously falls out of you. And it didn't
come from anywhere. It might have stemmed from a conversation
or someone played a cool quarter in a pian I know,
and all of a sudden a song happened, and all
of a sudden it goes on a record, and all

(01:14:03):
of a sudden, the world knows the words.

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
You know what I'm saying, Like that is a miracle.

Speaker 19 (01:14:08):
And so I think that's my favorite part of this job, man,
is just walking on stage.

Speaker 7 (01:14:12):
What I got to see you in Nashville on New
Year's Eve this past New Year's Eve? Oh yeah, their
lady was there. Yeah, And that was insane the amount
of people out there just watching and like you said,
faces lighting up, everybody knows the words, screaming the words
back at you. It's just the coolest thing to watch.

Speaker 15 (01:14:29):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:14:29):
It is so cool.

Speaker 19 (01:14:30):
And then getting to hear y'all's story, like that's something
that's been kind of crazy lately, is like you will
never like, as an artist, whatever you do, you will
never know the impact that your stuff has on people,
do you know what I'm saying? Like I would have
never known that about either of y'all had you told
me that you know, you listen to look what God
gave her in One of your favorite tracks was a
song that no one's brought up to me.

Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
In seven years. Wow, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (01:14:51):
I love it?

Speaker 19 (01:14:52):
And that's the beauty of art is that you get
to make it and then you get to put it
out and then people get to decide how it's going
to impact them, you know, and those stories are or
what make it worth it. So Frog, get your boy
t writ I know, so, Thomas, I want to know.
So you wrote one hundred and fifty songs, you're using
fourteen of them. There's one hundred and thirty six songs
out there that are waiting.

Speaker 2 (01:15:09):
Yeah. Have they been bad? That one didn't make up?
Not really bad? So I don't know.

Speaker 19 (01:15:13):
And there's a bartender at the Ritz Carlton that has
the entirety of all those songs.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (01:15:18):
Oh my god, seriously last night, Tequila, last night, I
wanted to hear the record over the speakers, and the
bartender was in control of the uh of the bluetooth,
So I just text them the dropbox link. My god,
did you call your attorneys this morning to let them
know it might be the worst. My management's over here
to be like, it's the worst thing you've ever done

(01:15:40):
in the twelve years of your own What could possibly
go wrong?

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
Wrong?

Speaker 2 (01:15:44):
What could go right?

Speaker 15 (01:15:45):
You know?

Speaker 16 (01:15:46):
Is there any chance that any of those other songs
make it on another album? Or do you write specifically
for this project and the next project will be totally different?

Speaker 19 (01:15:54):
Still figuring that out, Like, I think it was kind
of a mission of mine, this go around to like,
because I really wanted there to be twenty four songs
on this album, but gosh, dude, there's just every every Friday,
there's a million songs that come out, and so I
really wanted this record to be digestible.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
I wanted you to go to look at it, like
I have time for that.

Speaker 19 (01:16:14):
It makes sense, Like I have time to sit down
for thirty eight minutes and listen to this record. But
I think it's gonna be fun. Over the next two years,
managed to keep sort of just putting music out.

Speaker 7 (01:16:24):
I think Bob the Bartender might be putting out.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
Yeah, you all go hit up the rints, you get
the record earlier. We need you need security to protect
you the world from you.

Speaker 6 (01:16:36):
Yeah, so I know you travel a lot. You said
one hundred and eighty days a year. Did you just
get back from Kenya? Not too long ago?

Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
I was looking at Instagram maybe about yeah, a month ago.

Speaker 6 (01:16:45):
Okay, So when you travel to Kenya, do you have
these same moments where shockingly, out of nowhere, somebody approaches
you and it's like, oh my god, Tom Stratt, I'm
listening to your music in Kenya.

Speaker 2 (01:16:53):
Yes, and it is so wild. It is so wild.

Speaker 19 (01:16:56):
It actually happened a lot in the airports too. We
had a labor in Dubai and there was someone that
came up to me while I was getting a coffee
and they were like, you know, we I love your music.
And I was like, where do you live and they're
like here. I was like, are you serious? Like that's
the wildest compliment in the world. Not so much in Kenya.

Speaker 2 (01:17:13):
We have.

Speaker 19 (01:17:14):
We haven't made our to the airwaves in not Reb yet,
but maybe maybe at some point. But yeah, but no,
that was uh, that was literally a trip of a lifetime.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
Fari yeah, Sofari, Sofari. I've been on five five.

Speaker 19 (01:17:26):
Yeah, it's amazing. Everything can kill you over there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Oh yeah, absolutely, And it's good to know that you
were so unimportant, yes, as compared's like going to see
the Grand Canyon. So you see the Grand Canyon like
we are nothing of that big hole. Yeah, Earth, But
to be able to go and open your mind to
a whole other universe and that must help in songwriting

(01:17:51):
as well. Did you ever find yourself in the tent
while the wildebeests were trying to eat you writing something
down going, I don't know what this is. This could
be a song next year.

Speaker 19 (01:17:59):
The very the very very first night that we were there,
this did not lead to a song. I just think
this is a crazy story. But the very first night
we were there, we were staying in these It's not camping,
it's glamping, you know what I'm saying. And so me
and my whole family are in this tent and they
encourage you that anytime you walk out of the tent
to keep your they call it a torch, which is
a flashlight, and they're like, bring your torch with you
wherever you go. And I walked out it was like

(01:18:22):
ten pm and I'm literally from me to you of
two hyenas.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
Oh and they will crunch your head off.

Speaker 19 (01:18:29):
Yeah, And so I started flashing my light and I
was like, this is how I'm gonna die. I'm gonna
get killed by hyenas flashing a light and I flashed
a light and they took off, they ran off. Gosh, man,
when you're up close to something like that, I've never
in my life been that close to a hyena or
a lion, or being that close even to an elephant.
Like it's just gnarly. It's different seeing it at a

(01:18:50):
zoo than it is like.

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
When they're at You're in their territory. Theory back and
you will do it again, that's right. I love sitting
at the mess ten at night and it is clamping
and you see the eyeballs out, Oh dude. And we
had we had hyenas laughing in front of you. We
had lions roaring behind us. And we stayed on the river.

Speaker 19 (01:19:08):
So the entire night it's just hippos going crazy and
there's crocs everywhere, like sixteen foot cross.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
We're talking shoes. We're talking, yeah, not shoes.

Speaker 7 (01:19:19):
How do they protect you from that?

Speaker 19 (01:19:20):
Like the getting well, there's like a there's like the
place and then there's like a huge drop off like
a like almost like a concrete wall, so they can't
Maybe they could, and then I chose to tell myself
that it was impossible.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
During the day. That's where the world debes ull roll
down and some of them will not make it.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
But but it's just.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
It's there's nothing like going nothing like far and you know,
and people say, well, that's something I could never do,
and it's not true. We have friends who were or
guides there and they make it very affordable for you
can actually do it pretty cheap actually, but I would
encourage it for sure. It's it's an awesome trip. I
love the fact that Thomas Rhet is here with us
today and it's a special day. The fact that you're
here with us makes us feel so of important. You

(01:20:00):
guys are my favorite excited to come see us. I mean,
it's like literally one of my favorite things to do
when I'm in New York. So thank y'all for having me.
Your spirit is just on the top of the of
the flagpole. Well, it's waving. The feeling is very mutual.
I got to play another song from the album, and
of course Thomas Rhet's album came out last night about
a woman, and I'm gonna giving you two cuts today
because you have to pay for the rest, Yeah, download

(01:20:22):
it or just go to the rits.

Speaker 7 (01:20:26):
You'll get bonus tracks if you go there.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
This is Thomas Rhett and of course beautiful dos you
way the girl you out mine?

Speaker 3 (01:20:34):
Here?

Speaker 7 (01:20:36):
Can I ask a question about why artists do that
thing with the dropping ahead of time? So you dropped
four songs before the album came out right now, Lady
Wilson has an album out today. She did the same thing.
A lot of the artists do that, now is there?
What is the reason is that? Just like to let us,
you know, taste it a little bit, you know?

Speaker 19 (01:20:56):
I still ask myself that question, to be honest, because
I think the goal probably is to build hype, right like,
because if you if you really love the first three
that come out, then you hope that someone's going to
be like I bet the rest of the record is
just amazing, you know. But there's also this part of
me that wonders, like when are we going to get
back to the mystique? You know what I'm saying, Like
there's so much teasing, and there's so much like check

(01:21:18):
this version out, and check this version out, and watch
me sing this in a bathroom, and you know what
I mean? And like all these things and it's kind
of sort of in my opinion, what culture sort of
says we have to do. But man, like in the
seventies and stuff, it was just like, wonder what Tom
Petty's been doing for the last year and a half,
and all of a sudden, bam.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
It was the whole album. Whole album. There was no scenes.
Maybe maybe we'll get back to that one day, who knows.
And now we have an artist that just produced song
by song, they don't even think about an album. Yeah,
for sure. There's so many different ways to get there.

Speaker 19 (01:21:47):
So, yeah, there's so many It's like music businesses the
wild West today. Like when I when I first started,
it was it was so I'm not going to say
it was easier, but it was like you had kind
of one or two outlets to put your music out.
And there's so many ways to get your music heard,
you know. So, I mean, you could be an artist
that lives in Nebraska and you're seventeen years old and

(01:22:07):
one day your mom just thinks you're great, and next
day you're opening for Zach Bryan. You know what I'm saying,
Like it's like have a weird it's wild Yeah, And
now if you.

Speaker 6 (01:22:15):
Do disappear for a year, people are going to say, oh,
his marriage is imploding.

How are you doing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
We're here for you. We have so much to talk about.
Thank you first of all for agreeing to come off

done a few of these.

Speaker 20 (01:27:32):
Yeah, oh yes, yes, that's right about the iHeart Festival, Yeah,
which I.

Speaker 15 (01:27:35):
Have to do my own.

Speaker 7 (01:27:37):
Did you forget you were going.

Speaker 15 (01:27:38):
To be there?

Speaker 20 (01:27:40):
I did forget, But I have to do that on
my own, which is makes it a little more intimidating,
But I'm happy to be there.

Speaker 15 (01:27:46):
Nevertheless.

Speaker 2 (01:27:47):
Well, I love it. And I don't know if you
like this, but when you sit down at the piano
on a stage and start playing a song and then
you'd f it up somehow, you know, like, ugh, I
fed it up and you start over. Even you have
no problem exposing imperfections at all times. I find that
very original and very cool.

Speaker 15 (01:28:05):
Well, that's very sweet. Ivis.

Speaker 20 (01:28:06):
It's nice to be the most famous person for getting
things wrong. And if that's my place in the pantheon,
I'll take it.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
They were bad to you. An imperfection is big to us.
It sounds great.

Speaker 7 (01:28:20):
You might not have even noticed it until you pointed
it out.

Speaker 2 (01:28:23):
Pimples like, oh, I got this pimple. Have you not
pointed the pimple out? We would not have noticed it.

Speaker 15 (01:28:27):
I see, No, what's something.

Speaker 20 (01:28:29):
We make mistakes every show, of course, I'm sure maybe
you do too. But only occasionally do I feel like
merits to restart, because it's sometimes it's so terrible that
you feel like everyone must have noticed that. But often
we breathe through the smaller ones.

Speaker 2 (01:28:44):
I think you should plant them. You should. You should
strive for imperfection at every every show, just saying thought, okay,
it would be like our show plan, we plan the mistake,
So okay, let's bring everyone up to Speed's not. Around
seven o'clock, the new Cold Play single we Pray was released,
and we're gonna play that again in a few minutes. Also,

(01:29:07):
the album Moon Music is out in October and and
you're on the road a lot. Yes, and so you're
Vienna right now. For instance, tell her what you did
Wednesday night, because I think this is really cool what
you guys did in Vienna.

Speaker 20 (01:29:20):
Yes, our shows here were scheduled to be the ones
after Taylor Swift had played here, but they had this
whole scary fiasco and they had to cancel both shows.
So we felt, well, we need to acknowledge all the
Swifties that are disappointed. So, talking of playing things badly,
we played Love Story with an amazing, amazing thing called

(01:29:43):
Maggie Rogers who's on tour with us this leg of
the tour, and we did our best and it doesn't
make up for the missing of the real thing, but
we did our damn this to acknowledge.

Speaker 6 (01:29:57):
Great was security and every everything much tighter. I mean,
how is it different being the first people that I've
played after her and everything that happened with her shows.

Speaker 15 (01:30:06):
Yeah, that's a very good question, Cay.

Speaker 20 (01:30:08):
It's funny I try not to pay attention to security
knowing because it's I guess that's because you take it
for granted. I feel like, well, everyone's doing that job
and no big shows are pretty safe, and we go
in with the with the feeding that most people here
to be kind to each other and have a great
time and not to worry about too much what could

(01:30:29):
go wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:30:29):
Well, and that's the point about in my world anyway,
going to see a Coldplay concert is you get lost
because I still do this moment and I have an
idea for you, by the way, a million, a billion
dollar idea. I love the moment I sit down at
your shows and it's always colorful, there's always movement. There's
so many things you can taste and feel and smell,

(01:30:51):
even though you're not putting anything in our noses or
on our tongues. It's just an unbelievable experience. And to
be able to leave the real world behind, there's no
easier place to do that than at a Coldplay concert.
And here's my idea, okay, of the Sphere, cold Place

(01:31:11):
should take over the Sphere that was built for Coldplay
was built for the Sphere. The Sphere was built for Coldplay.
Have you seen any of the shows at the Sphere yet?

Speaker 15 (01:31:20):
Yes?

Speaker 20 (01:31:20):
I went to see the U two show, which is amazing, right,
And we wouldn't play there for a long time a
because their show was perfect, and I wouldn't want to
try and follow.

Speaker 15 (01:31:29):
That because.

Speaker 20 (01:31:33):
I'm not quite ready to stay in one place. I
think we like moving around to see people in different places. Still,
I'm sure one day it will feel more appealing, But
right now I love waking up in different countries and
trying to say hello and finish and then in Thai Taiwanese,
and then you know, it's fun.

Speaker 7 (01:31:52):
Do you ever forget where you are?

Speaker 14 (01:31:54):
Like?

Speaker 7 (01:31:54):
Have you ever gotten on stage and going hey China
and you're not in China?

Speaker 20 (01:32:00):
I mean, it's funny. That's the one I say most
days by mistake, and.

Speaker 15 (01:32:06):
No, I haven't.

Speaker 20 (01:32:08):
The truth is, I haven't done that because I don't
really like to address a bunch of people by the
name of the place. It's a funny front, man, I don't.
I tried not to be like, hey, what's up. I'll
tell you why, because one time I saw an artist
on the MTV Asian Awards. They came on and said
what's up Asia? And I thought that was too many
people to address.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
That once.

Speaker 20 (01:32:31):
A lot of people, So I feel like I try
not to do that. I did it once in nineteen
ninety nine in leads. I said Hello York and that
if you're from Britain, that's a big mistake.

Speaker 7 (01:32:43):
Yeah, my son goes to school in Leeds, so yeah,
they would not have been happening.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
You know what we have been told for years in
what we do, and I'm sure any one on a
stage could follow suit, is it's a one on one experience.
You're not talking to Asia. You're talking to that person
right there in the audience, and they feel like you're
actually speaking to them. And it's a good reason not
to say hello Asia.

Speaker 20 (01:33:07):
Everyone do what they Everyone should do what they feel,
and I do other really silly stuff. So I'm not criticizing.
I choose not to do that. And also I don't
want to make that mistake of staying the wrong place.

Speaker 2 (01:33:22):
And I know at iHeart jingle Balls and we always
have a sign right there before they go on stage
and said you are in London, wow, just in case
they oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, it's a thing
we do for complimentary service we have for the artist.
Scary as a question, was that.

Speaker 18 (01:33:39):
Chris, You've played our iHeartRadio Music Festival a couple of times. Now,
can you walk someone who hasn't been there through that
experience and explain why it's so great and and all
the thrill and enjoy that you get because you guys
are exuberant on stage when I when I've seen you there.

Speaker 20 (01:33:58):
Okay, scary, where do you want me to? How far
do you want me to walk to you from?

Speaker 2 (01:34:04):
Like I'm assuming that what he's trying to say. It's
a festival. It's a collection of all different types of
artists and you all can see each other backstage, and
there's a different type of energy. Okay, what do you think?

Speaker 20 (01:34:21):
Yes, well you've just kind of answered it outvis but
that's you don't even need me on this call. I'd
say that the anytime you play a festival, it's an
amazing it's humbling.

Speaker 15 (01:34:33):
For the first part.

Speaker 20 (01:34:33):
It's you're like, oh, that artist is really good or
that song's amazing, and this artist is new and sounds
better than we've ever been here. It keeps you in
your place, which is really beautiful. And then there's a
healthy amount of like competition. I guess it's it feels
a bit like what it might feel like to do
the American Idol X Factor auditions. There's an element of

(01:34:54):
like what we don't want to be the people who
are kicked off this week as it were, you know,
So it's very different to playing your own shows. But
I think that adds this extra drive and I think
everyone's trying really hard in a good way. But I
think for an audience, I don't know. I don't know
what it's like for an audience. I hope it's really fun.

(01:35:15):
So I'm not really answering a question.

Speaker 2 (01:35:18):
It's something you are.

Speaker 7 (01:35:19):
I don't think really that's the one anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
I'm totally from that answer.

Speaker 7 (01:35:26):
Can I ask a question off music?

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
Do I have to like translated?

Speaker 5 (01:35:30):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:35:30):
I hope not.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
I hope not.

Speaker 7 (01:35:32):
So I know that you are an avid reader like
I am. I love to read books. So what is
the last book that you read that you love that
maybe you can recommend to somebody.

Speaker 15 (01:35:41):
Well, I just reread The Alchemist by Paula Quelo.

Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
What a great How many times have you read Alchemists?
The Alchemist?

Speaker 15 (01:35:47):
I'm going to say three?

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
Wow, I'm up to two. I'm behind, are you really?

Speaker 7 (01:35:51):
I don't know that?

Speaker 15 (01:35:53):
So when you get to my.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
It is fabulous? What do you What did you get
from the third read verse, the second or the first.

Speaker 15 (01:36:04):
These are amazing questions.

Speaker 20 (01:36:06):
I don't know I got the same kind of reassurance
and restoring of a certain faith, or a certain optimism,
or a certain keep goingness.

Speaker 15 (01:36:17):
I think.

Speaker 20 (01:36:17):
I often I find that I am drawn to books
like that when my own confidence or optimism or faith
is wobbling a bit in humanity or in myself or whatever.
So it helps me with that, just to get back
on my feet and keep going.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
The Alchemist. It's something everyone should read at least one time.
So Chris Martin, of course we'll be out on stage
at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on his own.
It's a special appearance by Coldplays, Chris Martin, which that
doesn't make you nervous. I think you're full of crap.
You don't get nervous ever, I've never seen you nervous.

Speaker 15 (01:36:49):
Okay, yeah, they're right. I am for the crap right.

Speaker 2 (01:36:55):
The album, of Course is out October fourth, but of
course the single I'm gonna play it for you right now.
We're gonna play we Pray from Coldplay. Thank you so
much for saying yes to our ieart Reader Music festival.

Speaker 20 (01:37:06):
But let me qualify first of all, in Vienna, doing shows.
It's really hard to talk to four of the radio
geniuses on my phone on a show day, so I
haven't given the best interview.

Speaker 15 (01:37:18):
I'm very well aware of it.

Speaker 20 (01:37:20):
But I'm really happy to see you all, and I
promise that iHeart.

Speaker 15 (01:37:24):
I'll be more focused.

Speaker 20 (01:37:25):
Right now, my head's slightly in Vienna, but come whatever
the date is, I'll be fully ihearted up.

Speaker 2 (01:37:31):
Okay to commitment when you commitment. Also, it says here
in the Rider that you are required to come into
a studio and do an interview here in New York
City as well when the album comes out, maybe round
October fourth.

Speaker 15 (01:37:42):
Ish, Okay, not very.

Speaker 2 (01:37:48):
Really anyway, It's always great to be with you, even
if we're a long distance around the globe.

Speaker 15 (01:37:55):
It's lovely. I love you, it's good to see you all.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
It's good to see you too, as always.

Speaker 15 (01:38:00):
Talking to me.

Speaker 2 (01:38:01):
But thanks for being talked to. The album Moon Music

be here in our studio. We Pray of course, came
out last night. We want to play that for you now,
Cold Play Chris Mark, We'll see you soon, and thank
you for being on with us.

Speaker 15 (01:38:20):
Thank you guys, thank you.
