• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it was at the beginning of all of this sort
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of being introduced to the world, and I was really
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: struck by you being honest and saying with vulnerability that
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you were a little bit nervous because you hadn't done
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: music or release new stuff in a while, and you
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: just never know, right, You just never know how people
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: are going to react to it. And they have gone

  Speaker 1: why have you been holding us up so much?

• 1:02
  Speaker 3: you know, And I am a big believer.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: In like timing and like the like world kind.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Of like giving you symbols and signs that it's time,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: and like, I don't know if I had have done
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: this sooner, the response would be this. Like I just
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: feel like the earth and the like stars aligned and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: my team happened to be like focused on it. Like
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: we all just kind of like came together and it
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: was this. I mean it started with the album. It
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: started with like Matt and I making the album and
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that feeling like super like you know, like a really
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: great point to like take off from.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: But you know, I don't know, I just wasn't ready.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I really wasn't ready.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I like don't think I had like fully made peace
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: with my past in order to like be where I
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: am now, and like that all just has helped the
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: puzzle like fit together.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And how have you seen how you started? People loved it,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they waited in line to see you. And now it's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: growing into more cities, bigger places to play. It's just
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it's snowballing. And what do you make of that? Like
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: what are what are people seeing? And why is it
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: just growing all over the world.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I think that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You know, one, I'm feeling like the love for sure,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Like I'm just feeling the like endless like support and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: love and excitement from people.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: But you know, for some reason, like people want to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: go and feel good.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: And I think that is like tap, like I get
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: to hold this special part in people's lives that feel
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: like simpler, but it's really cool to also be like
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: bringing myself to the table fully and authentically as like
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: a thirty eight year old who you've known your whole
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: life and like talk about kind of what my experiences
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: have been like since I've been gone, you know, are
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: not so you know, forward facing in music.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: So I think all of that is just like hitting people.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And they're getting to like really really to it in
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: this stage of their life. And then also like tap
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: that fun more care free like child in them.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Hillary Duff is here, and I think you're right. There's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: something about going back, as we've seen this with a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: lot of things, going back to things that we knew
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: that are just comforting, that just feel good, that we
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: know are nostalgic, we know are a safe place. It reminds
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: us of when we were you know, growing up or
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: having fun and life was a little bit different. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: feel like there is a human need for that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean people are studying it, you know, like
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: people are studying why it's having you know, the why
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: you know, why this is like the moment and why
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: it feels good for people.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But I feel good, I feel excited.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like the time for me was now, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: like my family kind of like looks exactly the way
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: that I wanted to. And it's a very bold choice to,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: you know, choose to step away from an extremely busy
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: household and do something that you know, ser services a
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: different part of my life self that you know has
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: been there since I was nine years old.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break here. Hillary Duff
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: is with us. So we were talking about you on
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the show, and we know that you said publicly you're
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: having these nightmares that your husband is cheating on you,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: these recurring nightmares. I found out that is great news.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Hang on, we'll get it to it next. Hillary Duff
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: kiss another powerhouse with us right now. Hillary Duff back
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: with new music. So Tanya, the other day, not too
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: long ago, we were talking about you, Hillary Duff, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Tanya was specifically talking about your song Holiday Party. Quickly,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: just remind us, Tanya.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Well, we were talking about first of all, the album
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: So Good. I don't know what you put and we
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: don't talk, but it's like lives rent free in my
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: head twenty four hours a day. But we were talking
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: about Holiday Party and having that conversation. You wrote that
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: song and you worked on it with your husband, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: it's super vulnerable about how you have these like reoccurring
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: dreams of him cheating on you, and like we were
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: discussing how that how that song was made in those
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: conversations that you had with your husband.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: But it's a good thing, you know this, This is
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: good news that you have that recurring dream. This is
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: have you study. This is important because we in our brains,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: when we sleep or dream, the things that mean the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: most to us, that we cherish the most, our brains
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: sometimes will carry out worst case scenarios. And if we
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: didn't care that much, our brain would not go all
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that way to do that. So it has nothing to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: do with like the action of it. It has everything
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to do with how important it is, how much you
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: cherish it, and so that's what the brain does. The
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: brain kind of screws us up in a way by
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: taking it to the extreme, which they're trying to protect it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Like, hey, protect this thing does.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm gonna there's so much behind Holiday Party
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: and I love this song so much. It it was wild, like,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: you know, to put an album out and be so
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: vulnerable and then just like you give it to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: world and then they get to like dissect it and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: do what they want with it, right of like not
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: yours anymore.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: There was like all this crazy stuff on you.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Know, oh my god, if he's if she's having these feelings,
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: he's already cheated, and there was like a poll on
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: whether or not I should leave him or not, like
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: it's so crazy, and I'm like, guys, I had just
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: had a baby and was super hormonal and like nursing and.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, crazy.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, you know, having crazy dreams, and I'm like,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I kept having this dream that he was cheating on
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: me with this person named Tiffany.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And I actually have a friend Tiffany, so I call
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: her and be like, yeah, and.
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: I think that, you know, a lot of it was
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: coming from one just feeling being like totally out of
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: body with you know, being postpartum, and being.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Like, my relationship looks different right now and that's not
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: like forever, but like that's for now, and when you're
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: in that moment, you're like it feels like it's going
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to be forever.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: How do we get out of this? How does he
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: want more? Am I enough? Am I?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Is this boring at like all of those things. So
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: that's kind of where Holiday Party was born from. But
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: it's a super relatable song and feeling and you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I think you know, I deal with a lot of
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: like abandonment issues and so those fears are really real,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: and there's a lot of topics on the album that
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: like cover that stuff, but they're kind of like dressed
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: in like a sequin braw and like a fluffy jacket and.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Describes me and how I like move through the world.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Like there's trauma and there's things, you know, but like
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: we're good and we're living and we're happy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So here it is. Take a listen party. It's just
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: all the light, scelary. It's just all strikes a chord
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: with people.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so to clothes. If you're listening and you are
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: not having nightmares of your partner cheating, you might want
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to check how much you love them. That's the lesson.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I really like this twist, Ryan, This is true.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I went to my dream analysis team on this. So
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: there you go. Where can we see you? It looks
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like everywhere you're doing a big tour.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'm doing a big tour.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: It was actually so fun when I released the Small Rooms,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Big Nerves tour tickets and everyone was like, bigger rooms, Queen,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: bigger rooms, Queen, but like I gotta do this and
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: like get comfy again and like figure out how to

  Speaker 3: move my body on stage, and then like we're coming
• 8:28
