Everything Has Aligned w/ Hilary Duff

Hey, everyone. I'm Morgan Stewart, and welcome to The Morgan Stewart Show. I'm going to be talking about pop culture, fashion, my personal life, and just a warning, I will be giving my opinions on everything, and those opinions are subject to change, okay? Now, let's get into it. Okay, you guys, I'm so excited. I just had the most fun encounter of all encounters. So to give you a little backstory, and I'm a little flustered because my adrenaline is pumping, we scheduled Sebastian Maniscalco to come on the show two, how long, two months ago? Two months ago. He's new to Sirius. He has his own radio show, and they were like, that would be a great crossover, like, let's get Sebastian, blah, blah, blah. I was like, let's get him. So we were so excited. We were all pumped, legitimate guests, going to have him on, and then he canceled, and because he was busy, his schedule was busy, and I was like, fine, you know what? Fuck that. Doesn't matter. So I just got finished recording an episode with Jason Bolden, and I'm doing it. I'm doing, like, a little solo topper with you guys because we have things to talk about. I want to go over some stuff that's been going on in my life, and I go outside to pee, and I can't even remember how this happened, but my producer, Cody, you were like, oh, Sebastian Maniscalco is recording. Wait, first of all, he's recording next door to me, but he is recording in the studio that I usually record from every single week, okay? So he bumped me out of my own fucking studio, which I guess that's what happens when you're a huge star and you have, like, you know, all the things on Netflix and all the comedy shows and all the stuff. So I got bumped. So I was a little disoriented in, how fast am I talking? There's a lot of things happening. Got bumped to a different studio, and what happened was I just went over, and I, like, plopped myself right into his live show, and I just said, hi, you were supposed to come on the Morgan Stewart show, and you didn't. You canceled. He could not have been nicer, and he told me about his weekend. He went to a Ronda Rousey fight, which, did we even know she was still fighting? I didn't. So what's her return to fighting? Her valiant return. Oh, valiant return. Okay, so she returned. And I had told him the story about how he was supposed to be scheduled on the Morgan Stewart show, and he canceled, and he let me know that he went to the Ronda Rousey fight in Vegas over the weekend. Netflix had invited him, and they did not show him in the celeb lineup during the fight, and some of the people that they showed, I mean, over Sebastian, I was kind of cringing for him. First, it was Carmen Electra, who, I mean, Carmen Electra, Jessica, do you know who Carmen Electra is? No. My assistant doesn't know who that is. She's 29. Carmen Electra is an actress, former playmate, married to Dennis Rodman, an icon of our generation, Cody. Like, she is gorgeous. She looks amazing. No, I was going to say, I just looked her up. I definitely know who she is. Okay, thank God. Thank God. She's like, I Googled her. I know who she is. So he then proceeds to tell me about all these people at the fight, and he did not get shown in the famous person lineup, and I was like, cringe. Like, maybe you don't need to be on the show. No, he does. So he's coming on. So that was very exciting and a fun, little serendipitous moment, and I was like, I have to jump on the mic and tell you guys. Okay, we have lots to discuss. Number uno, it is my birthday on Friday, May 22nd. She's a gorgeous girly, and I'm so excited because I'm going to be having a dinner party at my house with 22 people. It's going to be a long sit-down dinner, and at the beginning of the month, and I do this every single birthday because I am such a birthday freak. Like, I am so excited. I'm so excited. I'm not joking. I think it is the biggest day of the year. I think it is something that you should take seriously. I think it's something that you should celebrate, and you should make sure you make it a big deal for yourself because nobody is going to celebrate you more than yourself. So you should hype yourself up and just appreciate the day that you came into this planet. Every single person that I went to elementary school with knows that it is my birthday on Friday because I told them at the beginning of the year that on May 22nd, it's my birthday and don't make plans. There's like a whole birthday month, but I'll do like a birthday week, and like, you know, as I've gotten older, it is kind of, it's sad because the day comes and goes pretty quickly, and you're like not as excited as you were as a kid. But anyway, beginning of the month, I was like, what am I going to do for my birthday? I was like, I don't really feel like having another party because now I'm at that like mid-range age in the 30s where it's like everybody does a dance party, but every motherfucker is talking over loud music. They are not dancing. So then it just becomes like, it becomes a completely uncomfortable environment where you're like, it's too loud to talk, and then you don't have a voice the next day. You need to dance and have fun, or you need to have lower music. So I was like, I don't want to do another party vibe. You know what I'm saying? It just doesn't work, and I don't want to talk to you about your fucking kids over a bad ACDC song. I don't. I don't care. I don't give a fat shit. I want you to do weird drugs or, I don't know, to talk about something inappropriate. I had a party last year. It was fun. It was like, I'm trying to make sure everyone else had fun. So this year, I was like, it came to me like a vision. I was like, I am doing a sophisticated sit-down dinner that's going to be low-level steaks, and it's going to be so fun because there's no pressure. And I think what makes for a good party is when there's no pressure. And I put a lot of pressure on everything because I'm not chill, but I feel very good about this. So 22 people outside in my backyard. I'm doing a long table. I picked all of my, like, tablecloth settings very early on in the month. It was like a one-stop shop, and I do this for every party. Tablecloth, I rent plates, and I do glassware. We have the glassware, flowers. We're doing candles everywhere. Like, I truly like to set a mood. We're not doing DJ. We are doing playlist, which I've been adding to, which I've been playing back because you need to have a mix. It needs to be like upbeat songs, but also chill songs. And another thing, I do not know what I'm going to wear to this birthday. And I don't know if you've heard, well, I haven't told you officially, but maybe on TikTok, I am not buying clothes anymore. My assistant's laughing. I am on a shopping hiatus because what was happening was I was overbuying to the point where I was forgetting about things and trying to, like, fill a hole in some capacity of, like, some fashion hole that I thought, like, buying new stuff was going to, like, make it easier for me to get dressed. And it's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. And it actually did the contrary and made it difficult. And I felt like everything in the room was spacing out. And I had so many options that I couldn't figure out what I wanted to wear. So that was a long-winded way of me telling you guys that my birthday outfit is going to, I know, take a second, it's going to be a makeshift outfit that I come together on. Like, I'm not buying something new. It's going to, I mean, I have an idea of what it is. It's a shirt that I haven't worn yet. And it's a pair of shorts I've worn yet. I will not try it on until Friday. I am allergic to trying things on. I don't, I feel like the energy has to, like, be authentic and it has to, like, come together in the right moment. If I try those shorts and that shirt on too prematurely, it's not going to fit. And I, tell me. I'm begging you to try it on before Friday. I know. Because everyone knows I'm going to have a full panic, but I'm not going to because I am, what I'm doing is I am envisioning the outfit and I know it's going to work. And I'm telling you guys, so many of you have followed me for so long and all the different looks that I've thrown together. I have never, aside from, like, a literal gown 4E because of television, I don't try anything on. So I'm really excited. I think the birthday is going to be really great. But I also want to say on Sunday, I don't know when this is airing, but a Sunday, I literally was with Susan from 945, I'm not kidding, until 3.30, I tried on over 65 pairs of jeans, vintage Levi's and designer jeans. And I got rid of all of those jeans because they do not look good. They didn't fit. They were the wrong cut, for whatever reason, wrong wash. I mean, things that I've had for, like, 15 years that I'm like, this is just cluttering my space. I'm not joking. I feel better. I feel lighter. I feel like I'm able to, like, get dressed. I'm just shopping my closet. I mean, the outfit I have on today, I'm wearing a yellow, if you're listening and not watching, I'm wearing a yellow button-down in a lime green chartreuse leather pant with a pink Valentino heel. Hold on. Oh, tight hamstrings. And this is one of the better outfits I've had on for a long time because I'm just, I'm getting creative again. You know what I mean, guys? The birthday is going to be great. I'm clearing out my closet. I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'm going to go to I'm really also, I haven't perfected it, but I am trying to stay off my phone for an hour before bed and in the morning. I'm not trying to grab it first thing because I was grabbing it and texting bitches with one eye open, and it was becoming crazy, and I was becoming disorganized and scattered. And I'm also trying to have more positive self-talk. I know. I know. Because I'm constantly like, oh, how tired do I look? Or this isn't, it's just constantly negative. And so now I am bringing light into my life. I'm saying that I'm wonderful. I deserve X, Y, and Z. Like, I'm really trying to bring in positive chat. And I think it's also, it's, it's helped me quite a bit. And another thing, I love these, I love these updates. I feel like it's so important for you guys to know everything going on in my brain and in my life. I am in a position now where I've kind of turned the corner at the gym and I'm loving going. I mean, okay, granted we had a seven, the 7 a.m. that I have booked on Mondays is becoming, very challenging. I don't think that's for me. I think we need to ask her to change that to 8 7 a.m on monday by the way i smoked a joint on sunday i don't know when this is airing but on a sunday i could not it's wednesday i still have a headache i i just can't be doing stuff like that it's just not for me anymore um okay jim i am like be turning into the girl like you go to the gym for like six months when you start up and you're like i hate it this is awful and then somewhere along the lines you just get better you get stronger you feel better and i'm starting out my workouts on the treadmill every single day or every single time i work out and it's just makes me feel so much better and i know that that's like duh moving your body always makes you feel good but sometimes it's just like you're not in a groove at the gym for a long time and so i don't know i feel really good um i'm currently also looking at an instagram photo of myself i'm like am i posting this instagram or not should we let them know the big news now okay guys

sent it to my husband and to my best friends and then to the producer of the morgan stewart show because i didn't know what i literally froze on the street and like looked around and like i've seen

in my life i have to go to i don't have to i am i'm going to new york next week because i have a wrangly shoot which is really down to the wire let me tell you because we don't have a model yet it's literally on tuesday don't have a model don't have creative locked don't know how to do it i don't have a model i don't have a model i don't have a model i don't know what accessories i'm bringing like the week is just cuckoo crazy and i need to like organize myself and for some reason the days are flying by they're like two hours long and then my assistant is getting married on my time so she's going to be gone for two fucking weeks which is just so fun i'm so we're so happy for her and my life is going to run smoothly perfectly we're even setting up you know what we're doing my genius idea we're setting up an all-in-one email for anybody that emails her that i can check because i don't want to be giving out my personal email to everybody because like i'm not accessible to the world that's crazy um and so i'm going to probably ignore all of the emails that come through i'm definitely going to miss lots of meetings i don't even know how i'm gonna i guess i'm gonna have to go to the market i haven't been to i go to the market for like under six items like the bulk of the shopping is getting done and i am good about knowing what we're doing and i'm going to have to go to the we don't have and i'm cooking quite a bit i'm really maternal guys i'm cooking making lunches i'm doing all that stuff but going to the market there's a whole system for that right because you got to get there early first of all you don't get everything from one market true there's like i don't we're in america we're in los angeles california and it takes four fucking markets to get everything you need i don't understand how we don't have one market that has everything and don't get me started on arowana beverly hills i feel like that's a sims character that's like a game like there's no room i had a full panic attack there a year and a half ago there's nowhere to walk in the aisle i don't want to go there so i'm gonna have to go to all the markets and here's the thing i'm not going to instacart things i can't stand instacart like right well because i don't trust them to pull the right they're not going to i've gotten so many like floppy bad vegetables oh my god i can't let another person do it it's disgusting okay the word floppy makes i think of really bad dick and i don't want to talk about that ever on this show i don't want i don't i haven't even had it but i just don't even want to think about it it just floppy sets me it sends me it sends me to a place that i don't want to think about nope so to your point i don't need a floppy carrot showing up i want only organic but it's gonna take me four fucking markets to do it i'm gonna have to do it early because let me tell you the other thing that's going on while my assistant's out for two and a half weeks oh and then she's comes back and then has another wedding so when i hired my assistant she was like i really want this job first of all she drives two and a half hours to me and two and a half hours home i want everyone to pause on that i made it very clear from the beginning when everyone told me not to hire because it was crazy i said you're not gonna want to keep doing this it's nuts but i'm so likable that we're six months in five months we're almost nine months i think nine is was september nine well you know i don't know is it nine months yeah because we're almost to june okay nine months of driving four hours to work i want everyone to know that is because i'm wonderful because no one's driving four hours okay with a husband in tow if you're not great so that says a lot about me which i'm excited about but in the midst of this so then she comes back and then she has a wedding because she when i hired her she's like i want to work here i'll drive but i have 68 weddings that i have to go to this year because i guess if you're 28 and 29 years old everyone's getting married you're not going to know these people in five years and they're all going to get divorced anyway so like i don't need you to go to every wedding i did draw a hard line i said september or did you draw that line i was like i drew the fashion week i said i'm not going to the bachelorette priorities we're off to the races we can't go to everyone's wedding you can't be a part of 68 weddings so she comes back then she has to leave early on a friday and then i'm going out of town but in the midst of her leaving susan also is leaving oh yeah no this bitch is out of her mind so she is usually like my you know help with everything help with market help with dinner help with you know raising my children i mean she's obviously like my right hand in a lot of things and she told me quote i'm going at the beginning of june because i don't have the rest of my life to wait i was like okay it was very dramatic she said no fucking way i'm going to my house in switzerland i'm gonna wait for you and so what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna be alone with nothing for two weeks probably eating i don't know out of an old chicken bag how am i gonna get to set and then i am going to travel internationally by myself with my two toddlers in tow because my mom wants me to basically take them and have a week solo with her for like some boot camp and some like grounding and some like getting some spoiled shit out of them and having them be real people like i had to do with like the cows and all the shit so i literally the cows and the shit and i have to take my kids to europe which i'm so grateful to do that by myself on an airplane my husband is coming a week and a half later so he's golfing three days before i leave because he needs to be centered and then i travel alone with them and then he gets a whole week of just doing whatever but you know what's so fucked up i can't even blame him because i made the plan i can't even blame him because i literally was like oh yeah so i'm gonna be jet lagged with my two kids and my mom who's gonna tell me to get out of the car and i'm gonna get off the phone the whole fucking time but she does get a good candid shot of me i don't have one photo by the way jessica took six thousand photos of me me. They're all terrible. I feel like my 101-year-old grandmother, who literally had a stroke six months ago, took these photos. When I open, we got to find our spot. I need a good photo. I really do. So you're going to have to pray for me because it is going to be quite the adventure doing that. And then I'm going on a boat with my friends and my family, or well, my husband as my family. And then I'm going with other friends on the boat, which I have to tell you, I'm so excited about because we took hiatus last year. And because I was like, here's the thing. Let's get into really unrelatable content. We might as well, right? Because that's why you come to The Morgan Stewart Show. So we have chartered a boat. When Jordan and I first met, his parents chartered a boat. It was the first time I had ever gone on a yacht. It was really one of the most surreal, unbelievable experiences. Then when we got married, his parents had gotten a boat like two times. And then we decided to go on a boat. And then we got married. Like, let's take this over, which I know sounds, I mean, like, what the fuck did I just say in English out loud to like people listening to this driving to their job? Like, it's, it's completely off the fucking Richter planet. It doesn't make any sense. But anyway, we are able to do that. We're very fortunate to do that. And we have done it for three years. We go with the same group of people. And last year, what happens is when you charter a boat, obviously a chef and all the crew and everybody comes on the boat. And sometimes you don't always get a good chef and you're stuck in a boat. And then you get a chunky penny, you don't really want to risk it. So last year, being so humble, I was like, we can't do that. We can't be in a position where like you want a grilled cheese and they're giving you ceviche. Like we just need to be able to just go just take a timeout. So we're getting back on the boat train this summer for one week. And I'm really excited. I feel like a new appreciation for it. I feel a new excitement for it. I feel like obviously last summer with getting into the same bullshit over and over was a horrific summer. So this summer, all the outfits I didn't get to wear last summer, I'm going to wear. I'm shopping my closet. I'm going to go through all of my bathing suits and make sure that I'm prepared. You know what I mean? It's going to be really good content. Also, one of the girls that's been helping me with my social lately is going to be on the boat, which just the convenience of that, there's nothing better. There's nothing going to have to irritate your friends. Because the problem with me, which is so lame, is if I don't have good content, which I want to be clear about, if I don't have good, like the trip or the dinner or the lunch can't start without the content. And if you're really actually cool, what you do is you just live and you have fun and someone gets like a photo of you drunk. But I can't rely on that. I can't rely on that. And what happens if it doesn't happen? So there's that whole thing. I also have completely forgotten how to take a photo. I don't know. I'm not one. I'm not one within. Because I want to be candid and like, oh, I didn't know you were taking that. But then meanwhile, I'm like, this is horrible. And I need to stare at you and put my hand on my hip. Die. I'm like, I'm so boomer. I'm like still fake walking into the frame. I'll kill myself. No, I'll kill myself. No, it's out of control. What am I doing? Okay. Another fun fact. And this is a topper to a very exciting episode. And the way my life works is like energetically, it is very aligned. There are no mistakes. There are no accidents. Everything is always for the cause of something else. And I usually look back and there's just always a reason that things happened or things were like, meant to form that way or come together that way. I was working out with my trainer two weeks ago, whatever. I'm on the treadmill and randomly out of nowhere, I had never spoken to her about guests on the show. I don't really talk to her that much about the show. We kind of just make fun of me not being able to work out that well. And she was like, you know, you should have on the show. I said, who? She goes, Hilary Duff. And I said, what? And we were in the midst of like working out the details with Hilary's team. Like we were trying to get everything going. She's doing a concert for Sirius. So they were like, well, you should go on the show, blah, blah, all this stuff. And I said, that's so crazy. Like we've been thinking about it. She goes, you know, I absolutely love her. I think she's such a role model. And I'm so inspired by the fact that she's encouraging young women and men to start lifting weights because she has that, I guess that campaign with ladder. And it was so wild because literally a week later, they were like, Hilary's confirmed and you're going to talk to her. So it was just like so meant to be. And when I tell you, I mean, Hilary Duff obviously has been our icon, our icon and our queen for so long. I don't think, and I said this to her, but she's been so likable for so long. Like we've never gone through an anti Hilary Duff phase. There's been no drama. Like she has been consistently liked and sought after for her. I think she told me she'd been working since she was 18 years old. She's been on fire for a long time. Okay. So I went to the El Rey theater. I met Hilary. We chatted on, what did we chat? I don't even know what we were sitting on, like large boxes, which I got to sit, uh, uh, applesauce crisscross applesauce, which was like my favorite way to sit, uh, AKA daily pop days. I just hate sitting in a chair where I can't like have a leg up. It's wild, but she's lovely. So fun. I really want her to like get that tour done with, so we can like go, I won't give anything away because I'm going to like, obviously you guys are going to fund plans that involve yachts, which I'll, I'll handle logistics. I just need Hilary to come and like sing and no kids. I didn't tell her. I should have told her clearly, like, we're not, she's got four of them. I've got two of them. I don't want to see him on the boat. I don't know. That might be a hard ask with her. I know. I think she wants to, I know she, I mean, okay. I can't, we have to move on from Hilary. You guys, you'll listen later because then what's going to happen is I'm going to give away some things she said. And I was like, oh, okay. Um, okay guys, I'm obsessed with you. I'm obsessed with these little catch-ups. I think I'm going to probably do catch-ups more in the up and then we'll talk about pop culture stuff. We're really conceptualizing the show. Okay. So I spoke about Hilary Duff without further ado. I'm so excited for you guys to listen. She is our fucking queen, our fucking icon. Um, there's a break and then you get to listen. Okay. Bye. So much fun. Bye. I want all of you to act like a live fucking audience. Cause you're standing here. So I just want to say first and foremost, Hilary Duff, welcome to the Morgan Stewart show. Thank you. I'm so, are we not clapping? Hello. She was looking for more. We have a superstar icon. First of all, do you know how beloved you are? Genuinely? I have a small idea. Like I have to tell you, I didn't think I had an understanding of it for such a long time until this year. And I'm like, oh, weird. I want to just let you know that I have a trainer that I work out with once a week and out of nowhere, never spoken about you. She had no idea that this was like in the pipeline. She goes, you know who you should really try to have on the podcast. I said, who? I go, okay, let me just try to pull that out of my ass. That's not going to happen. And she goes, I'm so inspired by her. And I'm so happy that she's encouraging women to lift weights. Oh, that's so nice. And then she just manifested it for you. And a week later they were like, well, she's confirmed. I was like, thank God. Okay. I want to talk about the album. Okay. I've been listening to it with my five-year-old daughter every single day. I have a favorite song on the I'm desperate to know what it is. What do you think it is? I don't know you well enough yet to know. Throw out a guess. Feel it. Okay. Starts with an F. Future trippin'. Are you in my mind with future trippin'? I'm like, maybe that's the only one with an F. I don't know. Well, I did give you a big hit. I love them all, but future trippin' for me, first of all, just like the whole sound of it, but the lyrics, the like inside my brain thinking about future problems. Talk to me about that song. Okay. So this isn't actually, it's an, it's an interesting one because it started off being like truly a picture inside my head of the things that I freak out about that like actually ruins my husband's life for a little while, like microplastics. And like every once in a while, he'll be like, where is our, and I'm like, it had to go like, you know, when it hits the pan, then all of a sudden, like these things are really like, or just all the other things that like just removed out of our household or like future fears that like aren't real or real, but like we have to like live with them in a way and like manage them differently. And then I, we wrote this, the song and it was called future tripping, but it was not about like a relationship. And then it came to me later and I was like, we have to rewrite it and it has to be about, it has to be like a love song. Okay. So it's not autobiographical, like autobiographical. I know the word, don't worry. Like, so it, because I was, when I listened to the lyrics, I was like, this really resonates with me I have children. And I feel like when you're in a committed relationship with somebody that you love, you have kids with, you think about your relationship more as like, okay, are we getting all these things in? Yeah. Right. Well, 100%. And it's really hard to talk about because I say, you know, I speak on the topic and then all of a sudden someone's like pulled a little quote out and they're like, he's clearly cheated on her. She wouldn't feel this way. And I'm like, no, no, no. I'm just a female and I'm out of my mind. And I'll just like make up a story one day and be like, but what if this happens? And he's like, you're absolutely out of your mind. Like where, where does this come from? What are you talking about? And then I get to write a song about it. So I love the song. The album is so good. I want to know, I mean, I know that you wrote the album, recorded the album, produced the album with your man. Yeah. How was that experience? Well, first I want to, it's a two-parter question. Get ready. Why did you decide to write the album and how was that recording with him? Oh my gosh. Well, recording with him is my favorite thing ever because he's just so easy and he's my number one cheerleader and he, I know it's, it's just actually really that sweet. Like he's a good egg he's the like he's been scoping shit out here I've been watching him I'm like he's on top of he works so hard for me that guy where is he can we get away but yeah anyway he's been on top of it he's probably hiding because I'm talking about him but um he's just the best and I you know I literally woke up one day and I was like hey I want to make a record and he was like okay like let me think about this and we're gonna do this and then we're gonna do it your way and you're going to like guide the ship and no one like no one was involved in the beginning really or like actually all the way through the entire process like until the album was done it was so like homegrown and it was really nice to not have outside opinions but then also there was no one like championing it except for us you guys like were in your own little like bubble doing it yeah so are you like writing songs together you writing songs on your own like what's the process like that so we they kind of like come up more in conversation and then the tone is like set like oh I want to talk about this thing and then usually he'll have like a track idea because that's his world and not my world yep and in that world I'm like a very good A&R person where I'm like I hate that thing what's that weird sound nope that should be like this but I can't like build it like he can from and like dream it up from scratch right um so it's a really great partnership because then I'm like oh this is making me feel this and then we start writing a song that kind of is in that lane which also probably like kind of makes you guys deeper and closer because you're also talking about things that you feel vulnerable about things that are in your mind that maybe you wouldn't share with him day to day and the fact that you can do that successfully I think that it has made our communication really good yeah um and just kind of erased the nerves around like bringing something up with your partner you know and just like the days are going by and I'm like you have like this like thing on your mind and bringing it up feels like it's going to like create a bigger issue than you like have time to deal with yes I know that yes yes of course I know that feeling uh-huh that this like I don't know if it's like just for kids and like the pace at which our life is like moving at right now or something that we just don't have time to be in a weird spot you know or if it was like making the record and having lots of you know topics that maybe are sometimes a little like untouchable just be really out in the open mm-hmm um but god it was it was so easy making the record with him and it was so like healing to talk about things that you know I've gone through and that scared me and that I haven't shared like just because it was done in a way that is so me and felt so authentic to like how I process things like even really heavy things I tend to somehow like bop along through my day even though it's there and that the record feels very much like this pretty weighted there's a lot of you know heavy-weighted topics in the record that you know sometimes are like dressed up with like is that lorax thread or something you know what I mean that like feel a little sparkly don't talk to me about a lorax thread are you kidding me that's like you talking dirty to me really early in the interview yes that totally makes sense and like listening from start to finish like I'm telling you I'm listening to it with my daughter and I feel like it's like it's feels so you like I am basically in the car with you and you are singing these songs sitting next to me I love that like it really so you should be really proud and really happy about what you put out and I'm not kidding you're so loved people are freaking out that you're back like it's a whole thing like I told a few people you're on the show they're like I do anything you can to get a photo I want to tell you on that like I feel so lucky right now because I just never I got to the place of like okay I can't compare myself to like my old successes and like whatever this is I'm like I'm not gonna do it again I'm not gonna do it again I'm not gonna do it again this album is is is and it's going to be for me and I know there's going to be a handful of people that are going to fuck with it you know and like and that's all I had to keep in like the focus you know and um and to see the response and to see people showing up for me because I did something authentic like is the biggest biggest biggest reward like a hundred percent we used to Matt and Matt and I when we would like sit and think about you know what the rollout was going to look like or whatever he would always be like you deserve this victory lap and it was like such a nice way to frame it I know but it feels so much bigger than a victory lap now you know it feels like a whole damn field I don't know what I don't know what to compare it to but like it feels energetically correct like correct I want to talk about the tour starts June 21st don't say that out loud I know I how okay I had a follow-up question but like how do you feel about that like are you excited I'm yeah I'm thrilled I think there's a whole bunch of question marks for me yep that as a mom I'm like oh my god I know it's like my family is obviously my like number one concern and I've had to like compartmentalize a whole bunch of everything yeah it's everything yeah it's so much I have two kids you have four kids I can't even imagine having to go on tour but you know what this is what you're meant to be doing and don't you feel like your kids are always fine no matter what yes and I think we have built a really strong community for our kids to like thrive in and be safe with other people yeah and I love that you know I I have been working since I was nine years old and like how like that is I know easy but it's like you can't just take something like that away from someone like it's it's like a it's your show horse or something like a race a race racehorse racehorse by the way I was like what is it I don't know but like to have that to now be doing this like it truly is your destiny and nothing that is happening for you right now would be happening if it wasn't supposed to be yeah so I feel like but I also feel like so eternally grateful for my kids and my family that you know if this didn't work out I get to like go home and shut the door and be like I'm also so fulfilled in this area of my life that you know the fact that I I get to go and do this is like it is a dream come true and I feel like it's a dream come true dream sequence yep you know but it's not like the real stuff that it doesn't fulfill you like it does one part but like if it didn't work it would work out yeah I feel like okay I'm gonna go back to like complaining about driving the kids too much but like love that and thrive doing that too what is the schedule with the kids do they come with you sometimes will they stay home like how what's the balance with that and I hate using the word balance I shouldn't say that but what's the vibe figuring out the tour logistics oh tell me about it talk to me about that the worst week of waiting for your baby to come no like it was so bad is waiting worse or pushing one out worse I weirdly no don't tell me it was easy oh no it wasn't okay okay but I weirdly like birth so I which part of it um I think the part where you like get the baby simba and you're like I was blacking out at that point you were yeah wasn't that I felt like it was very challenging not challenging but like I mean it's horrible it's also hard work I did it two times and like the second time I was like oh my god I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die like oh he's not out yet is this done yeah yeah and then they're like no you've got to get the shoulders out and you're like the shoulders are bigger than the head what how did we get here I feel like we're roasting chicken now I don't even know I don't know how we got here I don't know how to get back I don't even know what the question logistics yes so that was stressful horrible because I'm like one my kids are so excited they're so mad they're not here tonight and I'm like you're gonna see so many shows of the summer you're going to not want to watch them anymore you're gonna be watching a movie on the bus like I'm not going to the venue today like I just want to you know make sure that they have the tolerance for it but they're so excited and I think there's no time that we would ever go on tour across America we would always choose other locations to go vacation yep so we are going to be on a bus which is scary because there's like no storage on a bus and I have that many kids but I also have a teenager who's like I'm not spending my summer on the bus so I'm gonna miss him and he's gonna like fly in and out and I'm gonna miss him and out and then the littles are gonna be with me for the most part but it was it's a it's like a whole it's a traveling circus yeah I think it's gonna be fantastic I'm sending you good vibes I'm also um we have some rapid fire but also I just my audience gets mad at me when I bring this up but you are a Libra yeah sorry guys I'm doing it one more time they don't like horoscope no I talk about it a lot which I should be able to talk about other things but for some reason I just like love to do it I'm here for that you're a Libra yeah you're married to a Gemini yes stay my gosh okay how is it for you it's we're soulmates right and did you guys get back together that was one thing I read did you date twice wait what do you okay broke up got back together broke broke up got back together and then got married got back together we're like we should have a baby which is psycho no I love it I love it psycho like three weeks later I think I was pregnant with banks that can I tell you my husband and I were dating when I was 21 years old for a year we broke up for 10 years almost got back together what got back together and literally and I was like we should have a baby and we had a baby and then we had a baby right after and did you are you you're married yeah oh when did you get married when was that five years ago after the baby oh yeah yeah pregnant you were pregnant scandalous and you got married I got married pregnant okay okay we had the baby got married which was actually so fun she walked me down the aisle like she was like I know it was really really fun and cute and like Luca walked Matt down the aisle which was I would recommend it to people it's the honestly if you're in a place with a lot of women who care about the logistics and you want to just have their baby that's the best place to be right yeah I agree but 10 years is crazy it was real it's a big break it was a lot and I when I say like we had nothing to do with each other other nothing did you how long were you guys broken up for okay the first time I feel like maybe he would be like no that's not correct but he remembers things a little bit better than I do by the way that's yeah um I feel like maybe we were broken up for like a year and then the second time we were broken up for like six months so not that long not that long talking and we just know but like weirdly he would like words with friends me or something I know that's so intellectual wait words with friends I know he's a writer right yeah he'd always kick my ass too which was so annoying well he's a Gemini well now when we play uh not wordle what's it called boggle okay I'm the worst at games what is boggle okay so when we like shake up the the the dice that have like the letters on it and then you try to make as many words as you can it's really nerdy isn't that another game too when we were growing up trouble trouble okay troubles when we pop it and that's more of like a board game where you like go like this but like boggle is very similar because you it's like in the little dome okay I like the dome but I get to have like a whole second like 30 second head start on him because he's so good with words and I was we were getting in so many fights that now it just like goes without saying I get to start 30 seconds before him oh my god okay and then he usually still beats me he's still I would not win boggle wordle trouble any of it okay wait you don't play you don't do any of the the things I'm not modging I'm not can do you know how to play yeah okay well if you weren't going on tour I would make you teach me is it does it involve a lot it's horrible and I got a coach I know you said 20 minutes where are we because we have to talk about mahjong you got a coach yeah her name's Beth she's the best shout out Beth who's Beth she's my mahjong teacher so you're literally paying that so is it that difficult that you need to coach yeah there's a lot of rules okay that's you can come we'll do a mahjong night no no she's really good don't I I will be there okay can we do some rapid fire yes okay wine or tequila wine okay red or white wine I never care too much orange wine okay I say it in the song you do okay but that's because it's about my friend who has an orange wine company so every time she comes over she brings a bottle of and I like it she's a little too funky like orange wines are like for the cool girl and I'm like give me that crispy sauvignon blanc sans serre I want to be like a six-year-old woman on a yacht like listening to yacht rock with my cold glass of white basic bitch wine cancel the tour we're going on the yacht I'm not doing it I'm not doing it with you what is one thing you regret spending money on oh la boo boo's why did you do that you should have known me before I would have never let you spend money on that first on the little boo boo train I hate those things so what are you doing with them now do you sell them throw them out into the crowd no because then I'm associated no no you're okay also we have to talk about the Olsen's after these okay I forgot about that okay what is what is the last thing you liked on social media I feel like you don't remember that do you oh I totally remember that oh what is it yeah it was it's boulder's house in British Columbia she just I don't know I felt like interior design I know I know it happened today on my way here and that was the last time I opened Instagram it's like it's all interior design home architecture okay is that a passion of yours yeah I mean it's more of like an obsession kind of dreaming into the future kind of thing did you design your own house yourself I did I've like remodeled my house three times that's very stressful I'm about to start that up it's not easy no it sucks it sucks did you have to do just double the budget and double the time did you hear that okay you're gonna go over budget triple the budget she said triple the Hillary does a triple the budget if you piss her off I'm done okay okay what is your favorite holiday destination this is so corny but anywhere anywhere that my kids are like anywhere we go with family like I love Hawaii so much but we also went to Disney World and it was not as fancy but it was so that answer is that I believe you. Yeah. No, it's the best. If I said that, you'd be like, no, that's not true. For me, it's the yacht, which we're going on. Okay. I've never been on a yacht before. Hilary Duff, what's happening?

I will literally text Matt and I'll be like, there's a huge storm coming. Like the worst we've had in 10 years. And he's like, that's from three years ago. No. Ah, it's nice to be here. So you're okay. But wait, so no TikTok at all. I feel like. No, I do. I do. But like. Not the trends. I'll do it for like a recipe or like. Oh, wow. Do you cook? Yeah. Are you going to cook on tour?

I, I got into hair and makeup today and I was showing off my manicure and then there was like sourdough starter, like crusted in the side of my nail. And I was like, oh, so you flicked it off. You didn't eat it. No, I wouldn't have either. That's disgusting. I would have. I just want everyone to know that. Okay. So I just want to say thank you. This was, I'm so excited for you.
