I know we're talking about new music and the book
and everything else, but we do a game on our
show called the Throwback throw Down.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I get to pick the songs every now and again.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I got to throw in the classic, a song that
I believe is underappreciated, did not get it to do
and its stars are blind. Why are people not celebrating
that song to this day? Why is it still not
being played on the radio. It's a masterpiece.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
It's so iconic. I love that song so much. And
Kim Petres and I just recently recorded a new version
of it, and yeah, that song is just iconic. I
love it.

Paris.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
I have to tell you before I ask my question.
I'm obsessed with you. I dance beside you at Coachella
at the Do Lab stage, and you are just you
don't get enough credit for how how kind and empathetic
and smart and I think you're an angel among us.
So I just admire your strength and love you so much.
I'm curious you have been famous for so long. What's
(01:12):
the craziest rumor you've heard about yourself?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Well, thank you so much and funds living with you
and do lab and hmm, I've heard a lot of
rumors about myself. One of the craziest ones was I
read that I was dating Michael Jackson, and oh yeah,
I was like, Okay, that was a rumor. I read like,
(01:35):
I don't even know how long ago, but I've known
him my whole life. My mom and him were best
friends growing up since they're thirteen, so he was like
a godfather to me. So that was Yeah, that was
an interesting rumor.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
So I know you have you have new music.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I know it's really personal to you, kind of in
your words, how did this all come together? As we
listened to the song I'm Free, you know, what was
your thought process?
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Well, I'm so proud of this album. I've been recording
it with Sia the past year. She's the executive producer
and wrote most of the songs, and with I'm Free,
I just wanted to really make a song about freedom
and being yourself And this one just was a remake
(02:19):
of a song called Free that I really loved since
I was a teenager, so I wanted to make it
in my own way.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I was just gonna say, like, I'm that song obviously.
You know you're a DJ and you're gonna play it
a ton and you're coming out with an album. I mean,
what is your favorite festival to play? And then favorite
festival to attend, because I mean, you're one of the
best teachers.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I love it, Thank you. My favorite festival to play
at is Tomorrowland. I've played every year there since twenty nineteen,
and I love it because it's the biggest music festival
in the world. There's hundreds of thousands of people there.
The production is insane, just the lighting, the vibes, just
everything about it. It's such an honor to play there
(03:02):
every year. And my favorite festival to go to is
I love Burning Man and Coachella was fum this year.
And my favorite favorite to go to is Ultra and
Electric Daisy Carnival festivals.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, I don't know if you do Burning Man the
way that the rest of us would have to do
Burning Man, but like, is it like a weak process
to get the dirt off of you.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Is that true?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I definitely go to SPA after that. Yeah, there's a
lot of dust, but yeah, it's just amazing. I love
just dressing up, going the music and I can't wait
for this year.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And there's also a book. You've got music, You've got
a book, the memoir, the paperback.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I know you've added to it.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Talking about motherhood, I mean, you've done so much over
the past couple of decades. It's also well publicized, and
you've been really transparent about it. I wonder as your
kids you have two kids now, as they get older,
how do you sort of acclimate them to not only
mom's famous and it's all out there. I put it
out there and I've confronted all of it. And also, hey,
(04:06):
you're famous now too as a you know, child and
you grew up like that. I mean, how do you
sort of educate your kids and hey, here's what's coming.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I think it's just important to really instill good values
in them. And the most important thing for me is
that they're good human beings. And yeah, hopefully they won't
want to be in this world because there it is
a lot to go through, so I'm hoping that they're
(04:35):
both nerds like their dad and don't want to be
famous and.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
They want to be like a dentist or something or
like you know, yeah, like a.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Teacher, a veterinarian. Yeah, just something not in this industry.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Fight all the success you've had. I mean, you don't
intend to. You don't want them to follow in your
footsteps in this way.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I want to do whatever they will make them happy.
But I just feel like there is a lot of
pressure to be in industry and there's just I don't know,
there's a lot of things that can happen, So I
would rather them not want to be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
As being a mom changed you, like, I know, I've
watched your show. I loved it, and you haven't slowed down.
It didn't seem like I mean you said you were
trying to. But has being a mom changed you know that.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
You have too?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, Just every decision I make is based upon them,
and I just want to be able to spend as
much time with them as possible, So saying notice so
many things now and now just trying to bring them
on as many trips with me as I can. So
it's great just to have them with me on the
plane and we can just be together wherever we are.
(05:43):
So I'm excited. We're going to London and then on
a boat trip and both of the babies are coming,
so yeah, just making all these memories together and not
missing any of the moments because they're just growing up
so fast.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
So far, can we.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Get a simple life revival? Is that going to happen?
Speaker 2 (05:59):

recently in Jamaica two months ago to rescue these eight
American boys that have been sent to this Trouble Team
facility that we're being abused there. So yes, I've been
(07:32):
using my voice and my platform to help save children
and have changed nine state laws and my federal bill
will hopefully be past this year so that abuse in
these type of places will be illegal. So that's been
incredible to really turn my pain into a purpose and
