• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't really have anything going on during that time
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: period when they were filming, and and I had to
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: do some research on who was on it. So Lil
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Wayne was on in t pain. So that's like like
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the top of coolness. So it's like, maybe that'll help
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: me be a little cooler.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, and you did some cool songs too, like Teddy Swims, Cranberry,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Spice Girls, even Alex and Warren. So I was saying
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you were like the best singer too in the history
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of the show. Were you trying to show all some
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: skills right there? Fleg those muscles?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: You know? I can't. I can't deny that I was
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: trying to show some skills. No, I was, you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: I just had a good time. Man had to change
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: up some of those songs you know, too much by
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Spice Girls. That was one that I was kind of
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: not expecting to do okay on because I was, oh, crap,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know any Spice Girls songs and then hadn't
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: listened to him since my sisters were living with us,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And then I got to change that up. I really
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: love how it changed it up. So that was probably
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: one of my favorites actually.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And you just released your brand new single Homesick this
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: week as well. What inspired that one?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that song is about you know, I wrote
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: it while my kid was taking a nap and I've
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: been travel a little bit, and then you know, it's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: really about missing the people you love. And for me,

• 1:56
  Speaker 2: girl just had a baby girl. She's like nine months

  Speaker 2: to do some amazing things. I get to travel some
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: amazing places, and uh, I get to do what I love.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: But it also comes at a cost of missing things,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: you know. You know, I'll be waiting to do the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: show and wishing I was changing dirty diapers, you know.
• 2:15

  Speaker 2: and missing the places that you that that make you you,
