• 4:16
  Speaker 1: don't know. You know, you know how we met. I

• 4:51
  Speaker 1: our reality? No, yeah, I mean you know it's it's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: obviously it's really their reality. But um, you know, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: think everyone has things that could do well on television
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in their life. Um, you know that's kind of salacious enough.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: It's just do you want to do that? They have
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: approached you. Yeah, absolutely all the time. Really yea, even
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: now even but you guys could have your own show absolutely,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know, and I could see that happening. Yeah, um no, no, no, no, no,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: absolutely not um because you spotlight so uh yeah, no,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: we just it's just not something you know that that
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: we're into. Um, you know, yeah, never gonna happen, I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: don't think so okay. No. Jermane Precor produced your single Still,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and he said that Sierra stolen is that what he's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: used it for her song? I bet the beat. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: have to listen to it. I didn't. I didn't I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: didn't write I didn't write it, so nobody I listened
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to it. No, I listened to the song, but I
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: didn't hear that. I didn't hear that. I didn't hear
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the connection with still, So I have to listen to
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it even more to hear the connection with Still. So
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we're Claire. Yeah, yeah, do you like the music? I do? Yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: she's a sweet, sweet girl. Yeah, I'm just trying to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: clean it up for Yeah, she's very nice, beautiful girl. No,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: she's she's really nice. She's looked over here, like, so
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: let's go. But you are back on the road now
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: doing shows and everything, getting ready to promote this album
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that's coming out in June. Yeah, June ninth. Yeah, so
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I'm back kind of performing and and doing promo and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: things like that. So where did you film the video?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: But we filmed the video somewhere in California. Okay, it
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: looks like it's somewhere completely different. I was like, where
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: is it. Yeah, it's somewhere in California, on the side
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: road somewhere. Even't it a little harder to promote now
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: because back in the day it was just all about
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the music. But now people want to know so much
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: about your personal life. They want you to be transparent,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: right it is. I mean it's certainly changed. And as
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: an artist, it's hard to find that sort of fine
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: line between, you know, wanting to share things and still
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: wanting to be your own person and knowing when to stop.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And as a parent, as well, knowing how much to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: share and how much not. You know, I don't have
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a thirteen year old and a seven year old. Then
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: they're already embarrassed of us because we're their parents. Oh
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it's a good one. Just wait, yeah, they're they're you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just we're their parents, so you know, um, so for
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: them as well, it's just, you know, a matter of
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: knowing when to pull back on sharing certain things. You
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: were asking a question this one and on the topic
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: on the radio was have you ever what's the freakiest
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: thing you ever seen your parents do? Everybody was calling
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: in saying how they caught their mom and dad having sex. No,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't see. My mom was a single mom, so
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I didn't see any of that. The kids haven't ran
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: up on you, And if they did, they didn't say
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: anything about it. They'll probably call it ten years from now.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Daddy told me you up. We had a we had
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a random conversation the other day in my house. We
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: were listening to Tamiya and we were talking about that
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So into You song and when it first came out,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: because then we had a debate, like, no, it came
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: out earlier than that, but then fab took it and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: made it am I guess it was. You had your
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: single and then he made it his single, which was
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a little different years later. Yeah, so so I was like, no,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that song is way more recent, like no the original. Yes. Yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: so Tim and bobbing myself and we we we wrote
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: um so into You and then fab redid the song
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: over at Electra. Yeah, like maybe six years that's good,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: whole check. It gave it a whole another new life.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You were in a video and everything off fabs. Yes. Yeah,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: and then I went and I sort of resang my parts. Yeah.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: When you do songs with guys like fab just Grant
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: come on set. You know. No, no, no, he does
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it usually, you know. Usually it was during the season, so,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: um no he doesn't. He didn't. He didn't come to Sandwi,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Gnnesota either. The new single single, Oh yeah, yeah, he
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: didn't come to that either. I would diagnosed with MS. Yes,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: explain to everybody what MS is. Oh, okay, it's it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a lot of things. It's one of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: those things where it's In two thousand and three, I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: was diagnosed with multiple scirrols is um It's an autoimmune disease,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: so it kind of attacks your immune system, but it
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: mimics a lot of other things like lupus and things
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: like that. So um, and everyone's different. How did you know? Uh?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I was promoting I think officially missing you,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and I was really tired, which we all are, so
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that wasn't a clear symptom to me. Um and um.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I was really sensitive to heat, so I would get
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: really heated and kind of neurologically kind of lose my
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: function to like writeing things like that. And so that's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: where I really started to think that something was wrong.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: One of my really good friends is diagnosed with MS,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and it's been really bad because she has two kids, right,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and she's so bad that she can't really even walk
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: down the black It takes it like an hour just
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to walk down one black. Yeah, and she has to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: take all these different hormones. It's been really tough for her.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: But then Montell was on here the other day. Obviously
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: he said he smokes weed. He definitely helps him out
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a lot. No the voice, and she seems pretty good, right.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Rihanna's vocals were bad for a minute, but they sounded better.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: They sound really good now, So how do you cope
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: with it? Um, well, you know, I think with Montell
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he has he has pain, and so I think the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: weed is good for the pain. Right. Um, I don't
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: have pain or anything like that. And I've been actually
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: very good. I do a lot of like homeopathic things,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and I have a regular doctor and I have a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: homeopathic doctor, so, um, we do different types of of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you know, therapies and things like that. So I've been
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: good since two thousand and three. That's great. And my
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: family had a rough time and her husband's cheating on
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: her and oh yeah, and stress exacerbates everything, right, And
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: then she felt like she couldn't do anything about it
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: because she can't really even like, you know, how old
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is she. Um, she's probably like thirty four or something.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: She's pretty young. Still. She was actually hiring quaw girls
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: off of a website that stress and yeah, that's stress.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, stress will kill you. I could they have sex, though, Um,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you don't want to ask your girlfriend sex while she's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: battling something like him herds it. I mean, she's been
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: having a really rough time, like she can't pick her
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: kids up. She feels you know, she can't. Yeah, but
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: she doesn't want to leave her husband because She's really
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: nervous about it because she's like, now, what am I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: supposed to do? You know, it's not like you. It

  Speaker 1: he was just orders to get by. I mean relationships,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean relationships have ups and downs. And
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you know, if I can't, if I can't give you
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: something for a little bit, you don't have to like
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: hold off for a second. I'm gonna try and pull
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it together and then we're gonna get back on track.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You've never had you guys have never had any like

• 12:19

• 12:32
  Speaker 1: girls love. No, no, they they've never tried it. But
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to me, it was also that check that everybody was on,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that had to be
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: hard for him too. I'm sure. No, everybody is pretty much.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: They're pretty respectful. I mean, if something happens and somebody
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: says something, or it's a girl, then you know he

• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to whatever the sound is now? Not necessarily No. I
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: think that, Um, that's kind of where artists kind of
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: fall in a trap. I think you kind of you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: have to stay true to who you are as a sound,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and vocally you can kind of, you know, you can
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: kind of vocally adapt, but you should never kind of
• 13:28
