Speaker 1 (00:00):
From Hollywood. Thank you for listening to us Ryan with
Ryan Seacrest. Well, it's kissed and just looking at here
a pretty perfect all weekend. Some may grade this morning
attempts mid upper seventies. Today through Sunday England, you're gonna
get eighties, maybe some nineties. Well did anybody sleep last night? No,
(00:24):
we're gonna talk to Harry Styles. No. And I was
up way too late listening to the album and just
all the things. He is a genius. He is a genius,
true artist, true artists, because you've got to know that
he was out of one direction, in one direction, brought
(00:44):
back to all that then waits a long time to
come up with his sound and his artistic vibe. And
each one of those songs has a real has real
texture and layers, but they're also somewhere deep. Some are
really intimate too. Yeah. I mean the album kicks off
with a bang with that was the sushi restaurants song,
And so you listen to order h oh. I always
(01:07):
listen in order music for a sushi restaurant. That song
right there. I feel like every instrument in the world
isn't that song, and it just funny. My notes, my notes,
I just I opened my notes section music for a restaurant,
up beat fun lyrics, but you know, you know what?
I read the lyrics of every song before I heard
the lyrics and like, how's that a song? Like? What
(01:29):
those words? Because it's hard to picture with the words,
like I read it like I talk and I'm thinking
this is going to be really then you hear like
and as it was as I was reading that, I
know that one. So I was actually reading with I
was reading it that way to myself, say, I go popcorn,
I go to my favorite songs first. But how do
(01:49):
you know that your favorite songs first? I know from Harry,
like I know his titles. I know which ones I'm
gonna like, Okay, what are you talking about? I just
know I know him? Comment down. I think out of
respect for the artist, I go in the order that
they presented the album to us. Yeah, I don't have
I just do what with download or stream in the
(02:11):
order I could get the password for I mean getting
this album ahead of time. You talk about like password.
I was so scared to open it up because it
kept telling me my emails this password was self destructing
twenty seconds and I can't type it in that fast,
so I kept having a send Sorry, Sony music need
new password. So good. Here's the song saying you're talking
(02:33):
about music for a sushi restaurant. I mean you if
you read the lyric music for sushi restaurantight, what is that?
And then I listened to like, wow, that's cool. I
know it's so cool. Uh, let me see, I've got
to share my notes with Harry. I realized that sometimes
I'll listen to a song I forgot to make a
note like a little freak, I listen old thing. And
(02:55):
then I got to Matilda and it's like, oh gosh,
I didn't make a note for a little freak Matilda.
I want to give her a hug. I like love
of my life as well, and I'll read my notes
about that too. I'm curious your notes on that, because
I had one in there too. Well, why don't we
wait to have Harry and we'll read them our notes? Well,
probably set board by it now just a second, Tany's
(03:18):
got a trending report, Tania, what should we be thinking about?
Is it easier to make music when your heart is broken?
That's we the artists here. Yeah, we'll take the word
music out and make maybe make create, because we can
all create. All right. Well, Harry Styles has got a
(03:38):
wholes and you know some over two and a half minutes,
Thank you, Harry. Yeah, I noticed into some longer three
minutes seconds, three minutes, twenty seconds. Yeah, I like that.
So anyway, we're gonna talk to him around seven o'clock
this morning and we'll play you some of that new music.
(03:59):
You mean heard it now? Ty, let's go back to
the training report. Okay. Is it easier to make music
when your heart is broken? I think absolutely. Look I've
talked to artists for what how many years? Twenty years here,
and I think more of them will tell you that
when they've got heartache and they've got break up and
(04:20):
they've got all the things that are tough to deal with,
that's when they pen the most compelling lyrics, which are
the most relatable lyrics, because we all go through that,
and we listen to music differently when we go through that.
So what do you have? I bring this up because
Ariana Grande fans have been really on the hunt for
her next album. This would be her seventh studio album,
(04:42):
and she did this little Q and A was promoting
her beauty brand r M Beauty, and she said, this
is the question I'm nervous to answer. The truth is
I have not begun an album. And so the reason is,
she said, she's busy with her other gigs at the moment.
You know, she's been judging the voice she's launching ari
M Beauty. She just did that role in um the
film version of Wicked. So she's got a lot going on.
(05:05):
But in her personal life, she's newly married. She just
got married to Dalton Gomez, so she's clearly on cloud nine.
And so if you remember when she came out with
Sweetener and Thank You Next, those came out with like
within a matter of months, and those were some of
her biggest, biggest, biggest songs. And that was one of
the hardest times in Ariana Grande's life. That was when
(05:27):
she was dealing with the death of her ex Mac Miller.
She was really like tough, tough heartache that the Manchester
bombing at one of her concerts. So she was going
through a lot of really really deep heartbreak. And she
came out with two albums back to back within a
matter of months. And now she's kind of decided I'm
going to take a little bit of a stretch right now.
(05:48):
And so it kind of got me thinking because I
feel like sometimes, you know, when you're happy, you're focused
on the things that are making you happy and whatever
that gig is, and then some other things kind of
have to take a back seat. And I think a
lot of people can relate to that, but don't. Like
human nature is we feel I think human nature we shouldn't.
(06:10):
But we feel pain more, we feel difficulty more, we
feel the bad things worse. We feel that, and we
should feel more because we have more of that than
we have happiness. It's true, there's more of that then
there's true happiness. And that's why those those songs resonate.
You know, you said something and I wanted I just
looked it up because I'm curious. Cloud nine. When she
(06:34):
was on cloud nine, you said, and I use that
expression all the time, But what does cloud nine mean?
Like in the clouds? Why? Nine? Uh? Huh? The term
cloud nine is a metaphor for being on top of
the world, going to have it, and feeling happy. So
the reason it's nine, the phrase originated from the sky,
which was believed to be a solid thing at the time,
(06:54):
containing nine clouds, so the ninth cloud would be the
last step to heaven. People thought the sky was solid
back in the day. Oh, they thought the world was
flowed forgot about so same people, same group, same team.
Uh if it cloud, I said, makes sense nine just
before on cloud nine, right before I step into heaven. Nice.
But I'm glad to know that because I say all
(07:16):
the time, and I just take for grant why I
say it, I think. And by the way, if you're
on seven or eight, not bad, start saying seven and
a half. I'm on seven a cloud. Period. Yeah, I'm
mona cloud today. You know why, because I'm working my
way to nine. We're about to get into Harry Styles
on the show after seven o'clock. Right now your morning
hack and then a motivational quote of the day. Some
(07:40):
say those are cheesy. I agree, but I like them,
so we'll do it right. I mean, people misconstrue positive
and motivation many times. It's cheesy, but I think we're
comfortable with that. I leave a little note car like
a little note pad, a little note posted sits with
(08:01):
a motivational quote for my boyfriend before I leave the
house in the morning. Every single day, every single day,
every single day. Don't miss a day. I've missed maybe
one day in the last like two months. Where do
you find your quotes? I need more quotes. I find
a lot of them from you, No wonder she can
furnish them after this, I repurposed them and I write
(08:23):
them down on like a little like thing like this,
and then I put it either like by his toothbrush
or in the in the refrigerator. Does that one say?
I will let go of negative people and negative thoughts.
They're not like love notes. No, no, no, They're like
affirmations or motivational quote his name practically speaking. How long
does that last? Uh? With Tanya? Probably for a while,
(08:50):
because that kind of stuff fades fast for me. Something
new right for about three days, and I can't here,
there's no chance I could do that every day. You
should say, work bag. It's just like full of these
little things, and he keeps them all Yeah, I mean
you can imagine me throw them away. I mean, I'm
sure that goes away when you start having kids and
(09:10):
you'll start doing it for them. So here we go.
There's an art to meeting someone this weekend at a
bar three tips from bartenders and say this is good stuff.
All right. They say, sit in the middle of the bar.
You're not noticed at the end. I can't. I have
the middle of the bar anxiety mine because there's just
I don't know, you're I like a lot of action there. Yes,
(09:34):
I like to eat in the last seat corner of
the bar. No, that always smells like that weird. I
don't mind. It's like the rubber mat is always like cherries.
You see everyone's dirty plates and dirty cups. No, all right,
sit in the middle of right, so put your phone down.
No one will talk to you if you're on your
phone's But then it's awkward to be just sitting there staring. No,
(09:57):
you just look around, talk to the bartenders. Getting to
a co looking around looks anxious. Yeah, well, just staring
into the wall looks weird. So I try to make
conversation with whomever is behind the bar. All right, pick
the right night. They say, no, don't go on Friday's
or Saturday's. Now, who can go Tuesday and Wednesday? Tuesday's
(10:21):
Tuesday's are a bummer, so I guess that's something to
look forward to on Tuesday's. Yeah like that? All right, Well,
there you go. Today's quote doing your best does not
mean pushing yourself to the point of a mental breakthop
with Ryan Seacres. Are we ready for Harry Style? So
his new album, Harry's House is out today and you
(10:41):
can listen to our radio I'm Release party with Harry
Styles tonight seven o'clock right here and Kiss FM, or
watch on YouTube dot com slash I Heart Radio and
all day long here on Kiss it's gonna be Harry's
House Party. We're gonna be playing the entire album just
kind of sprinkled in all day long, different tracks if
and tracks from the album. Yeah, from Harry's House? What
(11:03):
are what time his party would start? The daytime party?
Or I don't know, I feel like I see late
after all. Right, let's get the headlines and we'll bring
Harry in headlines well right, Rising cases of COVID nineteen
have moved Los Angeles County into the federal government's medium
(11:25):
risk category. So what does this mean the move from
low to medium. Apparently it won't trigger any immediate changes
in health regulations for the county, but things like indoor
masking are being strongly recommended for both residents and businesses.
TikTok is introducing a creator crediting tool that allows users
to directly tag and credit videos using a new button
(11:47):
in the app. The feature will rollout over the next
few weeks or so, and the new tool is part
of an effort to encourage the TikTok community to credit
creators and trend originators, not to steal their work right.
The tool enables you to tag, mention and credit of video.
In its description, Rihanna and asap Rocky have welcome to
baby boy and Ed Sharon and his wife Cherry Seawarn
(12:09):
have welcomed their second child. They're both so in love
and they said. He made the surprise announcement yesterday, sharing
a photo of white baby socks on a blanket in
a post on Instagram and adding that the longtime couple
had had another daughter. And did you see the drone
show over l A last night? Well, Disney kicked off
(12:29):
the celebrations for National Streaming Day with a spectacular drone
show over downtown Los Angeles has happened last night. More
than three hundred drones lit up the night sky with
the Disney logo and designs featuring some of the company's
most iconic entertainment properties, including ESPN, Hulu, and National Geographic.
It was all in honor of National Streaming Day, which
(12:52):
is today with Ryan Seacrest and here he is Harry
Styles joining us now it is officially out. Harry's House
is out today. Something you've known is coming for a
long time. But what are what are the emotions? What
are the feelings that you have knowing the world can
(13:13):
now consume these songs? Um, I think like it's always
a little bit um, you know, it's like your secret
for so long. Sometimes it's like a little moment of like,
oh it's not mine anymore. Yeah, but it's it's really
like freeing. I think, you know, you like, it's kind
of feels like it's in a vault for so long
(13:34):
and you feel so like protective of it and then
just being able to like play it lauds and let
people hear it is it is really fun and ultimately
kind of you know what it's for. So um, Yeah,
I'm really really excited and I'm really happy with the album,
and I'm really excited that people are gonna gonna be
(13:55):
hearing it now. We fortunately got a chance to preview
it and we all took the albumne differently Harry because
as it was, we know that song that's been on
the radio and we've run into people in the wild,
I say, out in places singing it out loud to themselves, right,
they here, and they're they're just singing out lout themselves.
It's that kind of record. But when we got all
(14:15):
of the tracks and their thirteen in total, I first
read the lyrics, which might have been a strange exercise
because when I read them, I read them in speaking voice,
and then when you hear the lyrics, it all makes
so much more sense with with melody um and you
did it sisany which way? Well, I feel like we
all took different approaches when we heard the album. I
(14:38):
respectfully listened to it from start to finish. That's the
way that Harry wanted it for us. And where I
listened to the songs where I think are going to
be my favorites, because I feel like I know you
and I know which ones are going to be my favorites,
favorites first and then It's an interesting approach, I respect
(15:01):
But when you put the track list together, do you
have an intention of how people might listen to it
or how you envision them listening to it. Yeah, I
think I think um sequencing is probably I find the
most stressful because it's essentially finished, and then you just
have to you know, you're just listening to a ton
(15:23):
of different ways, and I think there's some things that
feel like instinct, so it feels like, Okay, this is
the last song and this is the first song, and
then you can kind of feel like what feels good
with this one, and then what feels good in the middle.
And I think this was the longest I've spent on
kind of putting it in order. For sure. There there
there's upbeat stuff. There's delicate I mean there's there's there's
(15:47):
a delicate track or two as well. Actually I started
to I made my notes in my notes section, uh,
and I was listening to all and I had notes
for all the songs. Then Little Freak Play and I
forgot to put notes for that. I was writing into
Matilda um, which you know I put beautiful and delicate,
and then I started listening to Boyfriends. Harry I did
send him, and then Boyfriends, but I listen to that
(16:09):
one first. I think, well, that's kind of you may
well actually yeah, but for Boyfriends, I kind of pictured
what it might be like on stage, and I don't
know if you've conceived the look of it yet, but
to me, it's like this intimate spotlight. There you are,
there's the microphone, no movement, your feet are just in
the in the cement right there in the center of
(16:30):
the stage. Uh, there's some white sheer fabric somewhere blowing
with light fan wind, you know, I mean, and you
feel like you're just alone with you in the arena.
Is that how you're gonna perform it? Harry, Oh, you
really thought about it? Yeah, I think I think that
would be a that would be a kind of more
intimate moment for sure. I think, Um, I guess like
(16:57):
sonically on the album, it's probably the most um, the
one that kind of stands out the mask because it's
it's um, the most kind of bear um. But I think, yeah,
I guess, like I like so many different types of music,
and I love playing lots of different types of music
and making them. So I think for me, like it's
(17:19):
important to like I kind of react to music when
listening to albums as it's kind of a journey that
someone has intended for me to go on. So I think, like,
you know, when it comes to laying them out, it's
definitely I want to listen to it and make it
feel like it it takes me on something, and you know,
(17:40):
you don't want it to be like, Oh, I'm in
this place and now this is playing and I'm kind
of like that's not really where I'm at right now,
you know. So I want it to be like a
kind of um thing for you to kind of experience. Boyfriends,
I think, yeah, it's just kind of probably the most
the most intimate um so, I would imagine it's it's
(18:02):
something like that. I don't know if it will if
we'll have the wind with the one I send you
the storyboards. Okay, What I'm just curious you talk about,
you know, albums, music artists that influence you and the
things that you feel and listening to them. What would
two albums be like if we were at your house
(18:24):
and you were to say, I'm gonna play two things
for you. What would be at the top of your list?
Other other maybe influences. I would say if it was
two albums, it would probably be um wow, I'd say
Nielsen Schmilson would be on Harry Nelson. Um. I listened
(18:46):
to that probably every day that I was making my
first album. Um, and I think it's a for me,
it was kind of like a beacon of you know,
he's like such a special musician. But there is like
really kind of deep stuff. There's some really fun stuff,
and then there's you know, a song like Calconut, which
(19:09):
to me is like, you know, proving that you don't
have to take yourself too seriously to make good music.
And uh so I'd say that would be one, and
then it might it might be the new Kendrick Lamar album.
Really Yeah, it's good. Yeah, yeah, it's I mean, he's
(19:29):
so inspiring, um, kind of the musicality of it and
just him as an artist. I think he's probably definitely
one of the most inspiring artists for sure. For me.
Who was the first person that you presented your completed
album too? When who was the first person to listen
(19:52):
to it? Wow? Um, I think the first person to
listen to finished wars my manager. I think, I mean
he obviously liked it. Wasn't your manager listening to it
while you were yeah along the way like I'm trying
like a little bit. Was there anybody from start to
finish that when I was not finished finished. Yeah, that
(20:13):
had not heard anything. Um, first person there from start
to finish. Um, I think I think it was Ben
Harper actually, really probably he was probably one of the
first people to hear it from start to finish who
hadn't heard any Um. Yeah, probably, Yeah, I think it
(20:38):
was him actually, and he played he played on Boyfriends
and that was kind of after I don't know if
that councils, but that's fine, Okay, I'll allow it. So, yeah,
it might have been It might have been bened That's
really cool. Yeah. So you have spoken in the past
about how much work can assumed you. You were just
(21:01):
you were on the grind, you were working hard, and
I mean it makes a mental health impact. And you've
talked about that before. How have you made thoughtful adjustments
so that you keep the balance now that you're gonna
be doing this again in full speed? I think I
think generally just trying. I know, like at times you
(21:21):
know you can't, you can't. There's no version of kind
of getting everything perfectly. But I think trying to, um,
just find like a healthier balance in my life is
what I'm kind of striving for all of the time. UM.
So I think whether that's like taking enough time to
(21:42):
be with friends, or taking enough time to be by
myself or you know, things like that. And I think
even little things for me, I guess the you know,
the some of the stuff that I guess was kind
of specifically for my kind of mental um well being.
I guess like I used to, like I always used
(22:03):
to like miss therapy and stuff because I would just
I don't know, you know, walk, stuff would happen and
they kind of get away from me. You didn't prioritize it.
I didn't prioritize it. And now I think I like
block it out. It's like that's sometime I'm gonna like
take for myself and I think like sleeping and uh
like making strive time to like exercise, and yeah, I think,
(22:25):
you know, honestly, I think those things are you have
to treat them like a performance or like a meeting
or as important as all of that to maintain that
kind of balance. I remember, for for me, there would
be guilt if I wasn't work. I just because you're
doing your dream job, right, I mean, this is everything
you always wanted, and you almost may feel a little
guilt if you're not doing it. Sometimes and you're doing
(22:47):
things for yourself, but that's so important to your art
to but to maintain that kind of mental health and
creativity as well. Right, you can't just be grinding so much.
You can't think, Yeah, I think you want to obviously
be making making anything from a place of kind of
feeling somewhat good. Um. So I think like I always
(23:08):
used to kind of you know, I'd block out to
make sure that I had time to exercise and stuff
like that, And I think I kind of just saw
it as like, why do I do that for my
body and not my brain? So I kind of just
tried to adjust a couple of little things. Do you
find perfectionism which I think you may have some of
(23:32):
when it comes to putting music together, the songs together,
the album together. We probably are in a place where
you never want to really put it down. Is that
a blessing or a curse? I think it's both probably.
I think, Um, I think like want someone told me
one time, like you should take your craft very seriously
(23:54):
and don't take yourself seriously at all. So I think
there's something about like making sure that if you're going
to make something and put it out that it is
how you want it to be. I don't. I don't
think it's like, oh, it's fine enough, so just put
it out. It's just kind of not how I think
about it. But at the same time, I think, especially
(24:15):
when it comes to stuff like an album that is
you know, obviously um subjective and stuff, it's kind of
like making it perfect. It doesn't really exist, so you
can kind of tinkle with it, especially in the end
stages so much, and it turns out it's kind of
like trying to get like a bubble out of a
(24:36):
water mattress or something you just can't like if you
turn something up over here, then it means this is
too and then you need to like at just this,
and so you can do that forever. And I think
in a lot of ways, like albums are never finished.
They just kind of take it from you. But this
was the one where I felt like they just say
it's like and now you have to get it's I
(25:00):
was like, Okay, I'm really happy to take it now
and then I'll just accept that it's it's done. You.
I just want to say thank you so much because
the album is so fantastic, Thank you so much. But
I also do love that you've been opening up about
the fact that you were kind of intimidated to go
to therapy. You thought that it made you feel like
you were broken. So I was wondering if you had
(25:20):
any advice for people who felt that same way and
how you kind of got past that to end up
going to therapy, because I've did the same thing and
it's changed my life. Yeah, I think I think it's
probably the thing that had the biggest kind of positive
impact on me in my life. UM. And I think
(25:40):
it's kind of one of those things where it's not
like a sudden fix like over sure, you have to
kind of do some walk with it, but I think
I guess like I'm just a big believer in it,
and I kind of feel like everyone should go. Um.
And I think like it's a little subtle than I
think some people expect. I kind of feel like, if
(26:01):
you can find three things in your life that make
you feel like five butter, then that adds up to
a lot and um and that's kind of what it
is for me. Um. But I think in terms of
getting out of my own way with it, Yeah, I
definitely like I felt like it was a thing where,
(26:22):
you know, it meant like there's something wrong with me,
and everyone went and it felt like really dramatic, and
I didn't really want to do that, and I wanted
to be able to say like, oh, I didn't need it.
And someone kind of described it to me as like,
you know, you can go and tell someone everything you
want and then you pay them and they're not allowed
to tell anyone and then to tell you. And I
(26:47):
was kind of I just realized. I think I was
kind of getting in my own way with it, and
then I went and you know, left feeling like, oh,
I wanted to talk about this thing and this thing
and this thing, and yeah, so I stuck with it,
but yeah, yeah, it's it's changed my life for sure.
Love of My Life was one of my favorite songs,
which is the last track on there. And it's very
(27:11):
stressful to hear the album once and then talk to
you immediately because we haven't had a chance to live
with it, right, because I think you hear it differently
every time you listen to a song, right, Yeah, so
don't judge. But after I heard that and then you
were here, so I didn't. You'll play it many many times,
but I just put we'll make your heart wake up.
(27:33):
I don't know if that was the intent, but that's
what I wrote down after listening to I like that,
I might I might use that actually if you hear
me say that somewhere, but it did. It felt that way.
Tell us a little bit about that song. Um. So,
the Love of My Life was one of one of
(27:53):
the last songs that kind of came together for the album.
And we're in a little half countryside in England. Were
set up in a room and there um and it
kind of started on piano and it was just the
line of the little little and and kind of we
(28:18):
kind of just really liked that thing, and that was
kind of going around and around for a long time.
And then the room we were working in was kind
of under my bedroom, so I was hearing it just
like and over again, and then I think to me, like,
in a lot of ways, it's I mean, it's definitely
the most sparse song I think we've probably put out.
(28:40):
It's kind of very few elements happening, and it's probably
you know, there's more like there's the there's a phone
ringing in the background, and that's like included, and it's
a lot more like kind of gritty. I think in
a lot of ways, it feels a lot more kind
of like Calme made Um. Yeah. For me, it's it's
(29:01):
like it's definitely I I listened to it thinking it's
kind of uplifting, but yeah, I mean I love it.
I think at first when it was when we were
making it, I wasn't really sure if I really liked
it or really didn't like it. Really, I think exciting
place to make music from. I think that little bit
(29:24):
where you feel kind of uncertain, it's a really exciting
place to be to be making stuff. It doesn't feel
too safe, so I guess I didn't really know what
kind of song it was, and then finishing it, it
just felt, I guess the most, like the kind of
antithesis of how the album was made. You know, it's
(29:47):
kind of the end part, the kind of piano bit
at the end of bum bum bum bum bum bum
bum was supposed to be. It was kind of supposed
to be like a sketch of like what an orcaust
trow would do, the same kind of the way that
fine line ended like that. And I think the kind
(30:08):
of all the echo and the revo and stuff that
was happening inside the piano for it made it sound
like it was kind of accompanied, and that felt like, oh,
this is like the intimate version of doing that orchestra thing,
and that is actually how the album was made, kind
of in a tiny room with a couple of people,
and it felt like a lot truer to kind of
(30:29):
what the album was about. So we ended up leaving
that and not doing that. Yeah, that's the that's the
last song on the album. Harry. Let's talk about you
getting back out on the road and touring with this music.
What's the look? What should we be thinking about? What's
the feeling? Because you definitely have a keen sense of style.
(30:52):
Thank you. Um. I think I think for me getting
back out on the road, I think the tour will
be you know, obviously the album is about this kind
of like homie kind of calm in a comfort and stuff,
and I think maybe some of the tour will be
a little bit of that kind of I wanted to
(31:13):
feel like this nice, comfortable space and and just you know,
I think the try and create the kind of ultimate
environment to just listen to some music and have some fun.
I think the date that thing will be, if it
could change of course, we won't hold you to just
to get an idea. You're gonna beat the Forum October
(31:34):
thirty one in Los Angeles. So are we getting a
hairy ween show in l A on that night? Maybe?
I mean it would be it would be rude or
not to write, may be rude not to Uh. And
(31:55):
what about you? And we're talking about the tour. You've
obviously got the album out and acting in something thing
that we've enjoyed seeing you take on different roles. How
are you looking at that component of your career? Um?
I mean I think for me, like I've always you know,
music is something that I love doing so much and
I feel so lucky to get to do it as
my job. Um. And then acting, I guess with something
(32:19):
kind of I did when I was younger, and I've
always loved it, and it feels like kind of the
opposite of music in a lot of ways. I think
obviously you're trying to put so much of yourself into music.
It's so personal, and then in a lot of ways
you're trying to remove a lot of that in acting.
I kind of like being out of my comfort zone.
(32:41):
I like that kind of acting. I feel like I
have no idea what I'm doing and kind of just
showing up as like the new guy in a lot
of ways, and um, it's really fun. So I guess
I just feel really grateful that I get to kind
of try something else. Not terrifying. It's not terrifying. It's
pretty terrifying. Like I would say, it's pretty terrifying. I think, like,
(33:04):
you know, I don't I don't know that I would
say that. I feel like I know what I'm doing
in music either, but there's some version of comfort there
because I've done that for longer. So I think like
acting is just it feels like a different, like a
totally different thing, and I really like just being kind
(33:25):
of uncomfortable with kind of within that, and you know,
it's really fun. It's like, at the end of the day,
it's like pretending it's playing a little man exactly. In
terms of your comfort or not comfort in your music,
you have said that you found you know who this is,
this is the most of who you are that you
(33:46):
are on an album. But it took you did it?
How do you look at it right? Because we know
when we met you and you were introduced to us commercially,
But how do you look at where you were and
where you are in terms of finding your signa sure
your style. I think, um, it's not well. I think
the interesting part is that it's not like I look
(34:07):
back at that time and be like, that's not who
I was. It's you know, it's not like I'm like
I hate that person. I think just like I was,
you know, I was like sixteen and um had zero
experience of kind of the industry and stuff. So a
lot of it is you're you know, you're just relying
on kind of finding out as you go along with stuff.
(34:31):
And I think like, it's not like I had in
the kind of early early stage. It's not like I
had some like grand plan of what I wanted to
do with my career. I was kind of like, this
is so fun, let's do this. Um. So you know,
I think, like, I guess, just just a comfort in
(34:53):
kind of maybe some like now I probably make more
of an effort to find a better balance in my life.
I think earlier on it was just kind of harder
to do that. Um, But now I think like, yeah,
just a comfort of I think like I liked just
being around like people all the time as well, and
(35:13):
kind of I felt like I was trying to learn
as much as I could, And now I kind of
feel like, you know, if I'm not spending time with
people that I love and people who love me, I'm
kind of more I'm like fine being on my own.
Um I find it like quite relaxing and calming to
be on my own. Now I feel like maybe earlier
(35:34):
on it was terrifying to be by myself. Ever, um
so yeah, I'd say that's probably the biggest difference. It's
just some version of I'm a little more like comfortable
in the silence. I think it's a good place to be.
Harry Styles the album Harry's House, It is out now.

do you have sistening? So? Last month, a TikTok creator
went viral for posting a video ranking all of the
(41:43):
products of a guy that she just hooked up with. Um,
so she's seen in his bathroom? Is that rude? Okay?
I know, I know. So actually it's a bit of
a violation. This has gone crazy. She actually went back
and did like follow up videos and whatnot. But now
this friend comes into your layer hook up with them,
(42:03):
and they're not taking photos of what's in your bathroom.
Yeah exactly. So after you, after you do whatever that,
you go let me go in the bathroom, and then
you stay in there and you actually videotape all of
their products and everything in their cabinets. Take a listen.
This is me breaking off the products. And the boy
I just looked up with this compartment was an ambastament
(42:27):
baker from Marial. I use this product, so good job
for him. This is not a good sign because sleeps
with a lot of girls like not the Moroccan oil milk.
I'm about to get an STD. I would not pull
that girl back, So that was my question for you.
(42:48):
This is like a deal breaker, right, like this video,
like she doesn't want to hook up with him again,
Like I would never do this to something. Well, right,
I think she was probably trying to find her escape
route and she out yet Moroccan oil, how's that different
from coconut oll They're different heats on the skin. Well,
they're different products, they're different types of ingredients. Yeah, but
(43:12):
you know, I don't I want to look at a
guy's bathroom and think that because he has Moroccan oil
that he's hooks up with a lot of What is
why you cracking this woman? We're in my bathroom going
through my drawers and my stuff. She'd still be in there.
We got retainers, we got new retainers, old retainers, we
got lotions. I got those now, I got the male
(43:34):
version of those body shaving razors fragrances from way back.
They don't make male versions. Do you ever think about
do you ever think about if someone's going through your
stuff in your bathroom? And I've thought about it before,
but I mean I think I would know if they
don't come back with a minute, that they're probably like
(43:55):
going through my different flavored floss filming the whole TikTok
in there. I don't know about filming it, but um,
Tanya show they do make the male version of that
racer I have them. What color is it? Green? I

them often. I run across them often. Yeah, but my
eyes are open, man, That's like I've always got some eyes.
What are you staring at? Like? Are you staring looking
(45:22):
for them? No? No, it's a radar thing, Like I
think some people just have this radar. We were at
a sushi note in Sherman Oaks the other night and
Michael spotted who's the guy that's playing Elvis Austin Austin Butler.
Austin Butler. He was sitting at the bar. Big, I'm
telling you, Michael spotted him. He was like, was this
song on from Harry Styles? It should have been Boyfriends.

Lerdy at my grocery store and I had Sunny with
me and he was like petting her and he was
being really sweet with her. Jacob Elerdy you know who
he is. Look him up Google and he's a super
tall guy from Euphoria. He's super hot. Oh he's so hot.
(46:34):
Look the other way then, for sure, But I think
you would have stared. Yeah. I think he was playing
with Sunny and he was like super super nice and friendly.
I'm like ninety two sure it was him. I think
he's like mid twenties. If I were run into this guy, yeah,
he's super tall. I don't have the ability to see
(46:55):
anybody outside of the character in the scene or set,
you know what I mean, Like, I I don't can't.
It just looks okay, well, okay. Joe Jonas at Melrose
Trading Post one of the Oppenheim Twins, you know, the
guys from song Sunset. They don't know which one it
was because they're twins. But he was at the butcher,
the baker, then the cappuccino maker in one of the twins. Yeah,

Good morning, everybody, How are you? Good morning? It's a
loaded question because these two give me life advice all
(47:57):
morning long, and they've been on one last couple of days.
Oh really, do you imagine this? Like, I know, you
get to leave your dream, but this is kind of
a dream, by the way. So every day for five
hours I sit right there between Cecny and Tanya and
we talk a lot about life, love, the pursuit of happiness,
all that kind of stuff, and they have very strong
(48:18):
opinions on what I'm doing wrong with all of it.
I know, we just give suggestions. We just like to
point out what where you're doing it wrong? Can I
ask you, ladies? Yeah, how's your life going? Is it
good for you? Is it? Are you guys handling it well?
Or is it? He is exaggerating. We are not that evil.
(48:39):
We're not here. You know. Look, we all got issues.
You've always had a You've always had a sense of
humor about yourself and about life too. I mean you
get to see that at your shows, which is fun.
People who go see Michael Boublet in concert, you see
the performances, but you also get to really I think
you really get to know you too when you're up
on that stage. Yeah. Well I'm you know, after what
(49:00):
happened to my son. I I remember the first show
I came back. I never thought I'd come back, right like,
I thought that it was you know this. I thought
I was done, you know. And my first showback was
that I think Croke Park and there's about sixty or
seven or eighty thousand people and for the first time
I had no disguise. I just walked out and I
was myself and I was vulnerable and I was me
(49:23):
and it felt liberating for me. And more than that,
when I left the stage, I went, wow, that was
that was fun? And they they liked me more. I
liked me more. They liked me more, and so it's
it's uh so those cool things. Where are you so?
Tickets to Michael's Higher Tour on sale now at Michael
(49:44):
bouble dot com slash tour Where are you In the
cycle of touring? Well, because of COVID, a lot of
stuff got obviously canceled and so um, there's dates I
have to go make up in England, but I mean,
I'm gonna go to like fifty countries, but it starts
with America. And I'm so excited because I just had
(50:05):
this little six show residency in Vegas and it's been
a long time since I've really played anywhere and it
was unreal. Not unreal because it was a shell, but
unreal because the audience was weird. Those first shows, they
were weird, and I was weird. Well yeah, and then
they're wearing masks while they weren't wearing masks because the
(50:26):
mandates have dropped, so so many people walked in, but
it was like we had to help each other because
it's we're you know what, man, We're not supposed to
say this all the time. We're not supposed to pray alone,
to sit alone, to eat alone. That we're supposed to
be in groups of people. That's how human beings were made.
And it's like, I watched this, you know, five and
(50:48):
a half thousand people. It started off weird and by
the end they were so happy to be living normally again.
It was like this little couple hours normalcy in what
is this crazy, weird feeling world that you all know
it we all feel in our guts and it felt
so therapeutic to me. It was like it was a
(51:09):
love fest. So this tour coming up for me, starting
in America, it's like it's deeper than me going to
work and going back to the stage. It's I think
it's I need it. And listen, Michael is doing something
really cool. He um. He sent a video to one
of the contestants, Christian on American Idol, and Christian is
(51:30):
one of the most talented singers that we've come across,
and he got eliminated one night not too long ago. Uh.
And then the next week I think it was, Michael
sent a video inviting Christian to sing with him on
our American Idol finale, and bro I got to deliver
those videos live to him to get his reaction, and
(51:52):
I was texting you it was just such a beautiful, generous,
lovely moment. You know that kid got eliminated. You're telling
me if there's a more talented person on that show.
I don't know if it's it's just different. It's just different.
And it's the way the votes come in because one
of the voices in the top seven, you know, we're
(52:14):
and are amazing. What are you gonna do? Tell us
it's means days away now? Well, I think what I
what my idea was. I wanted to do a massive,
sort of big moment, and I wanted to do Smile
and I thought it was such a beautiful song for
what we've all been through. For going through, Um, I
love the fact that I get to sing with this
(52:35):
kid like for me, I'm a fan. So it's a big, beautiful,
powerful song and a massive production moment. I can't imagine
how much money y'all are spending. I'm glad you asked
for it, because they're going to give you what you wanted.
You know, It's funny. I didn't want I didn't want pyros,
but what I wanted. I was like, I want, I
(52:55):
want singers, and they were like, how many singers? And
I was like, I want to It's a song. If
you go to listen to the record, yeah you want.
I don't want to talk about money, but it is
literally the most expensive song I ever. I had sixty
sixty choir, a hundred and ten musicians. There's a couple
of well, there's no chance idoles getting you sixty people
to sing. I've been there, They're gone, it's gonna get close.
(53:17):
Oh my god, you are this guy? Is I like it?
You're putting me? I mean, I've seen the numbers. You
guys are getting massive, like massive that you like the
new order order orchestras for the worm. Let's get a

Backs to the Spring Cash in one minute, Joe Joe
on the radio. I think we did get you fresh
out of the shower this morning. I was literally my
phone was ringing because producer Mark was calling me and
I'm in the shower like soaps in my hair. You know,
(54:21):
I see my phone ringing. I'm like, hey, Siri, answer
the phone, and of course it answers the phone, but
it's uh. I just gave it a shot and it
answered it, but it didn't put it on speaker, so
I have to jump out and then, you know, you
carefully might soap. It was. It was a scene for sure.
Hey Joe, to speaking of your shower, do you use
(54:41):
any of your of any other person's products in the shower,
not just your own? Um? I will well, Uh, I
had tattoos on one arm, so I will borrow my
wife's razor to shave my arm. That yeah. And the
crazy thing is I don't have tattoos on my left arm,
but for some reason, my wife started to make fun
(55:02):
of me for having like a clean shaved you know,
than any of the Harry other arm. Yeah, so I thought,
why am I shaving the other arm because there's no
tattoos on She's like, dude, you can't have one one
Harry one smooth. That's weird in the dark. That would
cause me to do a U turn joke. You know,
I think that's what she's saying. Show. By the way, congratulations,
(55:25):
so Joe Joe's ratings. Congratulations, looking good people tuning in
to Jojo on the radio. I listened to Jojo almost
his entire show because I'm in the car around three
thirty picking up the kids, and we go home, we change,
we do therapy. I hear the whole thing. Somebody called
me the other day. I do this thing called four
thirty therapy, and this girl calls me and said, Jojohn
(55:47):
needs some advice from you, because I already got advice
from Seacrest, and uh, I'm gonna see what kind advice.
But this no, she gave me. I hope I say
this right, because it was great. Advice, but clarify what
you were say. But she said, Ryan told me to
never make yourself a convenience to someone else. Now there's
more to it, but basically you're saying, don't let people
(56:08):
take advantage of the right thing. What was that advice,
because I think it was I can't remember what she
was asking, but I think you don't want to make
someone take you for granted. You know, like they need
to understand your depth and your value, and you can't
have someone just assume that you're gonna be this or
that that's not good for yourself. Agreed, And I thought
(56:30):
so I gave her some terrible advice. You know, hey,
are you on this weekend? Not on this weekend? Right?
Not on this weekend. I'm basically on on weekends with
the I Hurt Radio Countdown, so that airs Sunday eight
o'clock this weekend. We have, um god, who do we
have this? Uh not? I forget who my guest is
this weekend. I forget who we talked to you earlier
(56:52):
except last remember, but what be your Paranormally podcast? That
is something that you're really way into, dude. Okay, I've yeah,
I've been obsessed with the paranormal ghost UFOs all this
stuff for years. I kind of blame it on my
mom when when we were a kid, she brought us,
me and my sister. She would get uh, you know,
(57:14):
we'd go to Jack in the Box or KFC whatever,
and we go sitting this little uh we sat on
a graveyard basically, but she was sitting us in this
little seating area with nice flowers and whatnot. Just turns
out with a g We weren't visiting anyone, but I
guess in my head as a kid, I would go
run through there and I would find it fascinating and
scary and all this stuff. So I think it started
from there. But this podcast, uh, Paranormalish. I don't know
(57:37):
if you guys are into crazy stories, but these are
all true stories or so they say. Um Paranormalish new episode.
This episode is probably my favorite one. It's called she
Always Comes Back and yeah that people call me from
all over Ryan and they tell me that I'm like
the Ghostbusters. They just called me up on something happens
(57:57):
um this They were She was her and her husband
teachers years ago. They're young teachers. They were moving to
a city called Muskegon, Michigan, which was West Michigan. I
believe they saw this house, We're gonna buy this house,
but wait out of their price range. Sure enough, when
it goes on the market, it was a great deal.
So they, oh, my gosh, let's get this house. And
(58:18):
it was beautiful, built in like nineteen uh. And they
even they disclosed the fact that in the early days
this house was used as a funeral parlor because of
the viewing area. But they thought, no, that's fine, we'll
we'll get through it. We're smart, we're teachers, we can
deal with this. It'll be a nice story. Well, they
they walk in one day when the previous owners were
moving out, and they heard the mom and daughter, mom
(58:38):
and son kind of having a conversation, and uh, the
Sun says, are you gonna tell her? And the mom says, no,
I'm not gonna tell her, and she's she'll be fine.
It's a new house, don't scare him. The Sun looks
up and sees the lady kind of walking in and realized, well,
she overheard the conversation. I need to tell her. The
Sun walks to her and says, just so you know,
she always comes back. They started happening you know, keys
(59:01):
being moved, uh Ran Gore's opening and all this stuff.
When you hear the story sis, when you hear her
talk years later and how her it's just it's it's
terrifying for her to even tell the story now. Years later.
She gets up late one night and she's walking, you know,
down the hall to get water or whatever, and she
(59:22):
sees she could tell something's different, something's happening. She and
she describes it in such detail. This lady, older lady,
old lady, gray hair, her hair kind of flowing as
she glided up the stairs, glasses kind of down on
her nose a bit. She can see the light shining
through her glasses. She saw this froze and then ran
(59:43):
out in her bathrobe and Doc Martin's and she they
sold the house afterwards, took a loss on the house.
She should have put water next to her bed. Why
have to get up and go down the hallway to
encounter all of that? Is andy, I need therapy after
hearing that. That's un I'll leave that podcast to you,
