has it been a decade now, I mean, how long
do you think it's been since we started together.

Well, I believe yes, it has been a decade that
flew by quickly. I saw that our first first interview
pop up on you know, like when you go on
YouTube and you're not signed in you'll see it ten years.
I'm like, wow, that's what I looked like at twenty three. Yeah,
ten years.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Congratulations, congratulate you very much. We all saw the beautiful
photos of your wedding. I was you know, I love
a great wedding, but I also love a great olive tree.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And I think I saw some very ancient olive trees.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
We it's just it's it's just my parents driveway. It's
funny enough. We actually took it. We took some scissors
and cut a little branch off and put it in
a frame so we can it surprisingly hasn't died yet.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
It will have it forever in that picture frames.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, you and your wife Brook you known each other
since kids.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Huh Yeah, our parents are best friends. Her father has
known my father since the third grade. I think both
similar situation with our moms too. It's almost an arranged marriage.
But it just isn't.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Say that it's kind of a fairy tale scenario though,
because what of the what are the challenging things can be?
Families getting along and the fact that you know you
had that automatic trust and love from the parental units
is a real blessing, bro.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I mean, that's a big deal.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
It really is.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I had this weird thought the other day of how
my mind used to work. I like to that's how
I write songs like Tanya know as I've talked to
her about it too. I just I sit in with
my thoughts and I thought, Wow, I'm a lot different
than I was at twenty six. I always had this
weird notion that like, in order for me to make art,
for me to make a song, a TV show, what
(02:24):
have you, and my life has to be like in turmoil.
I have to just be like constantly traveling. It's YadA, YadA, YadA.
It's really nice to have a wife that supports you
and I support her. And I feel like my music's
even better now, the stuff I'm working on now, and
just everything is just lined up perfectly in my life,
so I's like creative.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
It's like creative anxiety versus stabilization. And when you've got
the stabilization and the roots in the ground, you can
It's almost like you're freed up to be more creative
in a way.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I'm guessing absolutely. You said it. You hit the nail
right on the head.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Charlie Pooth, Well, we love this show.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
We had a sneak peek of your show is so good.
But that's what we love and that's what we expect.
Let's come back, let's take a break. We'll come back
and talk with Charlie Pooth about the Charlie Pooth Show.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
What is it about? What is it about? We don't know.
Dooley p the tickets and more.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Charlie Pooth Next Kiss fm Us Charlie Pooth, what do
you make of that track? That's a big track, that's
have you You've read all the lyrics I read?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I know, I love DJ Mustard, I love I love Kendrick.
I think he's a genius. And that's that song bangs.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Bangs, I mean, but about it's about a lot of
lyrics in that track. You're a lyricist, you're a musician,
you can uh, I mean he could direct the philharmonic.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I mean, the guy has skill to do it, all right.
I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
People that that song.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
That song reminds me that people nowadays, everybody in their
what they want in their music is specifics and people
love to follow along with the storyline. Obviously Taylor does
that very well, but Kendrick does that very well too.
There's little what do they call him? I can't call him. Yeah,
there's a there's a sophistication to rap again, and it's
(04:08):
just it's not it's not like it ever went away.
It's just it's it's it's modernized now and I'm just
I just I love that.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
So I never get That song is like nine minutes long.
I never get sick of it?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
All right, Charlie Pooth this year the Man was born
December second, nineteen ninety one. I wonder if he've envisioned
his life to go the way that it went. Now, married, stabilized,
more creative than ever, and he's got a show called
The Charlie Pooth Show, which we've had a chance. Thank
you Roku for giving us a little early glimpse of this.
But the Charlie Pooth Show, how did you pitch that?
(04:43):
Like I know what the show is, but did you
actually go in and pitch it like we're seeing it
in a.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Way, Yeah, it's I want I've always wanted to make
a show about my life in a kind of exaggerated way,
kind of in comedy that's like very reminiscent of movies
like Airplane and as Lee Nelson and The Naked Gun
and like the absurdity, like borderline absurdity, but there's some
(05:08):
truth to it, Like recorded record label executives have actually
said to me in the past that you have to
be like this and you have to make music like this,
and that happens in the show.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
But it's exaggerated.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Right over the time.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It's it's got it's got Larry David isam's to it.
I mean it's got a it's got a cadence in
a rhythm that is. I mean it's scripted, loosely improvised.
What what's the hybrid of that?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Well, it's exactly as you described it. And the person
who I was most impressed with. And one of the
first scenes we shot was were the scenes with Will
Will Farrell and I. He's a good friend of mine
and I told him right before we started filming. I
was like, hey, so they gave you some bullet points,
don't feel like you have to read those. And he
was like, I'm not I'm going to read any of those.
(05:57):
I'm not saying I'm not saying this this, I'm like,
got it.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
I just let's just it's kind of just.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Like improvise, like a jazz record, just going off the cuff.
And they cut out, obviously, they cut out all the
scenes of me just breaking character and laughing.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
He is so talented.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
The things that he was able to just come up with,
I can't even like, I was so impressed.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
There's shots of me going like that. I'm just in awe.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
They made it seem like that was comedy, but that
was me, Like, how is he thinking of that?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So Will Ferrell is in the premiere The Charlie Pooth Show,
which is a very hysterical look at the world of
Charlie in a in a satire.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Also John Legend, He's also in that premiere. We Love John.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Now, Tanya has has something you know, just to shift
gears sing Tanya someathing that's been on her mind that
she wants to see if would be a new project
for you.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Tanya, Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
So I was reading your article about your wedding and Brooke,
your wife said she was talking about your relationship and
kind of how the Invisible String of it all, how
it was like not the right time until it was.
And I know you are a fan of Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Would you ever, I knew, would you ever?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Would you ever do some sort of like follow up
song to Invisible String, because I feel like it's personal
to you and you would do such a good job
with it.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I think it's best to leave Invisible String as Invisible
String because that song has inspired you and me and
so many other people. But I definitely want to make
a record and or a song that is kind of
that has that has that heartbeat to it, has that
that that spirit of it, and that's it's kind of
(07:49):
what I'm It's kind of like the music that I'm
the album that I'm making now. I know it's it
feels unusual to be talking about things other than music
that with Iron and Company, but it is. I I'd
be doing a disservice if I didn't mention that the
record I'm working on right now will fill that whole time.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You So, I think you'll be happy when here and when?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
When when do you think the world gets a some
some flavor of that album?
Speaker 4 (08:17):
When when everything is uh good on the record label side?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
And I probably in technical terms, first quarter of.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
This quarter, yeah good coming out of the coming out
of the ball drop, Charlie Pooth with new music.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Uh, he was there. He's been there for that too.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Listen, congratulations on a wheel of fortune.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Thank you, legend. I'm having the best. It's so much fun.
I mean, you know when you look up to artists,
right and then you get a chance to meet them
or do something with them, or step onto their stage.
I mean it's a similar thing for me and Pat
and this franchise has been around in people homes forever.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
So I'm having a good time.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Those are big shoes to film, my friend, and you
