Kylie & Michael Bublé on New Country Album, Gift Opening Disasters & Being a Mean Pregnant Lady | Ep. 47

- Not gonna lie, I am using a flosser right now to get the mascara off of my eyelid. You see that? I bet I could do this. Yep, see? Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, look at her, she's better. Yeah, let's get this podcast started. (upbeat music) Welcome back to a special holiday episode of Not Gonna Lie, a wave original brought to you by Amazon. I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey. I personally want to apologize for jinksing both the chiefs and the Eagles last week. But I stand by what I said. As you can tell from my set and today's guest, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And I've officially been a podcaster for exactly one year. That's right, happy one year in G.E.L.aversary. Oh, you're an asshole. (laughing) (singing) Are you Don Emma? (laughing) Nope. (laughing) Don't worry guys, Queen Emma is on her toes today. That's right, happy one year in G.E.L.aversary, real ones. Not gonna lie, premiered this exact week last year. And since then, the Eagles won a Super Bowl. I had another baby we went to Disney World. I wiped countless butts. I met Jay Wow, I raw dog deterred. I talked to Ed Sheeran and Michelle Obama. What the fuck happened? My personal favorite highlights of NGL year one was probably recognizing that this is a little bit of a like mom diary happening here. Because there are little tidbits throughout episodes that I get to remember better because I spoke about it while I was experiencing it or while it was fresh in my mind. And so it's very exciting to have that as like a little keepsake. I cannot thank you guys enough for continuing to tune in. I really appreciate it. Even a year in, Queen Um is asking, have you accepted that you are a podcaster? That's a silly question. No, I'm not. I'm still wondering when our guests, when we're gonna get a guest on, that halfway through the interview looks at me and it's like, what the fuck am I here? And just hangs up the call. And you can bet your bottom dollar that we will still air that episode. We will still give you that interview. Coming up on today's holiday episode, the realest of the ones might remember our deadbeat health on the shelf. Emmy Nemi. Well guess what? It's December. So she's supposed to be back. Whatever. And I'm gonna get honest about what she's slacking on this time. Then we got a TikTok shout out that has made me absolutely shook. Chat, am I using shook correctly? I feel like I nailed that. After that, I'm gonna be joined by the five time Grammy winner behind the Christmas music we all love. He's also a fellow parent to four children. It's Michael Boobly. Oh my God, what the heck is happening? It's crazy. But first, let's get into our NGL announcements. Starting with a big one to celebrate one year with the real ones and the launch of my new series, F-A-F-O, we've got a brand new merch collection. (horn honking) Nailed it. Oh, that's my cue. I'm modeling the new merch. Okay, so we have a hoodie to this beautiful green. Don't worry, there are pants that match it. Look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this F-A-F-O. Don't get my feet in there Brad. You know the drill, no free feet. Okay, here's the most exciting part. This is, I had a special request for this. I love a hoodie, but specifically I wanna make sure that people behind you know that if you fuck around, you will in fact find out, are you kidding? (gasps) Stop. Also, last time we talked merch, I asked for some tiny human friendly versions of what F-A-F-O could mean. Love this one. Amy said, F-A-F-O, fart around and find out kid-proof merch. Nailed it. We told my mother-in-law that F-A-F-O means friends and family only. I love the idea of your mother-in-law sending a group text that says, hey guys, can't wait to have everyone over for Thanksgiving, F-A-F-O. Outstanding. We've also got real one oversized crew neck with Kelly Green lettering, go birds. Look at that, Queen Emma has it. Also, we have this beautiful Yeti, isn't she cute? You can check it out for yourself or the NGL real one in your life this holiday season. Just go to NGOKiley.com and remember F-A-F-O equals fart around and find out. That's a Benny style wink for you. Also a reminder, a portion of the merch sales will always go to a charity. This time it will go to no kid hungry. It's a great way to feel good about not only supporting the show, also getting comfy clothes 'cause that's the best thing to purchase, no hard pants around here, and also giving back. So please NGOKiley.com and last announcement. I highly recommend pairing your shopping with our new F-A-F-O episode at the Philadelphia Zoo. Guys, I got to go to the zoo. Actually, here's what happened. I found an excuse to go to the zoo without my children. I take them to the zoo, don't act like that. I take them to the zoo and they're fine. But also, are you shitting me? Do you know how many generations of people will see? It's so crazy, it's such a crazy thought. You don't even know what I'm talking about if you haven't seen the episode so you should go watch it because then you'll know. Then we'll be on the same page. All right, moving on, it's finally time. Let's get to, can I be honest, about my deadbeat elf driven by the Hestoy truck. Mm-hmm, that's right. Look at it. It's sleek. Benny's about to come in here and try and steal that right off the back of your ear. Guys, if you have tiny humans with you, I need you to make sure that they are not with any or shot. You catch my drift. We're about to get honest, about the ELF. I'm giving you a chance to turn it off. Are we clear? Last year I filled you guys in on why Emmy Nemi, our elf is a deadbeat. Guys, she barely ever moves. We don't get into the chaos that is the malarkey. All of the little things that happen. She's not doing pranks overnight. She's not doing this, doing that. Homegirl, we're lucky if she moves. And sometimes it's what my father would call bogey condition which means that we wake up in the morning and a child runs into our room. And Jason and I look at each other and I say the ELF and he says, got it. And then he sneaks out of the room. And suddenly, Emmy Nemi's in a new place. Wow, oh my gosh, go look for her. We don't know where she is on a regular ass basis. And that's why she's a deadbeat. Because it is so low on the priority totem pole. It is so low on the list of priorities that we have going on to move that fucking elf. Now, it's officially December which means our family's deadbeat ELF on the shelf, Emmy Nemi, has returned, has she? And it also means that I'm in for 25 days of ELF antics. Because now that we started this, we can't stop it for any real ones who haven't started this yet. Fucking don't, don't do it, don't do that. But also, they're gonna go to school and their friends are gonna talk about it. It's dumb, it's dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Some of the lies that I've told associated with Emmy Nemi, my favorite one was the day that I forgot to move her. And it was wet outside. And so I told the lie that Emmy Nemi actually can't fly back to North Pole when it's raining. Because it would be a rough flight, every knows that. Also, I like to make sure that she does something maybe three times, maybe three times in 25 days. Okay, that feels. Well, I guess it's 24 cuz she leaves on Christmas Eve. Does anyone's elf stick around to watch them open presents? Is that part of the story? What story are we fucking telling guys? Can we all get on the same page because honestly it's kind of stressful. Oh a Great suggestion here, which is when I will take into account myself is like the girls need new toothbrushes So I'm gonna go and get new toothbrushes and then have it be like, oh, Emmy, Emmy brought you guys new toothbrushes Because that's easy. It's not candy. It's not toys. It's something that's practical But it's exciting because Emmy, Emmy brought it. You get it. That's my only idea for Emmy, Emmy this year. So Queen Emma has a clip here about elf idea tiktoks. Let's see the clip Queen Emma No Immediately know honestly watching that. I'm let me start off by saying this. I'm so proud of you. I'm so proud of you All my brain can think about is that I then have to fucking clean that up. Here's the other thing I would like to address One elf in the house Plenty I have four kids. Am I gonna have four elves? Absolutely not. No, and that's how I elf that does it for can I be honest driven by the Hestoy truck? We're in this together. Okay guys Let's all have deadbeat elves Then our kids can talk at school about how It rained last night. They're often movie there You got it next up. Let's get right into doom scroll the week brought to you by Amazon shop holiday deals now first on this week's scroll I still can't believe this happened guys the viral tiktok sensation Judy. That's right. I have pancakes You know Judy gave us a shout out in her latest video, and I'm still actively losing my shit Queen Emma loop roll the clip, please Guys, are you kidding me? First of all, I sent this in our group chat and then Queen Emma promptly didn't realize What Judy was doing a.k.a She didn't realize she was wearing an NGL hat Queen Emma. You want to face up to that? That is absolutely accurate I was bewildered by her saying knock on the lighting and realize the hat she was wearing Queen Emma responded She said it and I'm like the as a hat person Emma noted hat person It's fucked up But more importantly, she's Judy. She's not gonna lie. She has pancakes Judy, thank you so much for the shout out. We are such big fans of you. I really cannot express that enough For those of you who are not familiar with Judy and her tiktok She is known for having one of the best marketing plans I've ever seen and as the kids would say we're sad Did I nail that? I feel you nailed that. I'll leave you with this real ones This is just the very beginning of a Judy's family cafe and an NGL crossover next I just scrolled past his viral post of a husband's pizza order for his pregnant wife and guys. It's perfect hand-toss pizza, a lot of pepperoni extra cheese banana peppers, jalapenos, half chicken, half mushrooms, half caramelized onions, half olives, light sauce Okay, that sounds banging but the customer request section says bro, yes, I know this looks insane and you're probably like who is this dude? I'm a dude who has a very pregnant wife. I'm done questioning what she wants I'm scared of her and honestly you should be too. I promise this is the order. Thank you and God speed Hell yeah, a million times hell yeah, I wasn't a cravings person I was an aversions person, but I've been around cravings people and this is important When the call comes you fucking answer it, but this husband wants to make sure that his wife is satisfied with the pizza she wants and Also, yes, should be scared of her both of you You know what I might have been an aversions girly, but I've said it before I was mean I'm a mean pregnant lady. I'm so mean. I'm mean just like For sport. It's honestly looking back horrible I'm horrified by my behavior and occasionally I have a lucid moment while I'm pregnant where I'm like oh my gosh You're a mean and then guess what I go right back to being mean It's a miracle my husband's put up with it this many times the craziest thing that I eat during any of my pregnancies I will say that it wasn't necessarily the thing that I ate it was the quantity that I ate it in and that would be granny smith apples and Whip cream If we tried to Fill a dumpster with the number of apples and cans of whipped cream that I went through We'd need six dumpsters and that was one pregnancy But genuinely this pizza order sounds kind of fire. Can we change that one large hand-toss pizza to a two to hand-toss To large hand-toss pizza. I'll just pop in there guys when I was pregnant With Finn. I was driving. I shit you not 55 minutes Out to Kenneth Square To get Dips I Said that you heard me dips Spinach and artichoke mushroom dip those two and a fucking baguette Stop it right now and for my last scroll every holiday season I'm reminded of one why receiving gifts is not my love language and two one of the best internet videos to ever happen Yes, I said ever courtesy of vine Quenema The relic of a clip, please Are you choking for our audio listeners This vine is a little boy on Christmas morning who unwraps. That's right and avocado and He is excited about it. Let me tell you why I love vine Okay, because I'm a fucking goldfish in my attention to Spain a six seconds long. I Loved vine. I loved vine. I Think it was outstanding. I think the people who were funny on vine That was an impressive feat you have six seconds to land a fucking joke. What are the other ones? I quote No one is saying the word roommate in front of me without me saying and there were roommates Try me. Receiving gifts is not my love language. I'm gonna tell you right now It all goes back to me not wanting attention on me I don't like when I have to open a gift and people are looking at me for a reaction Honestly, we're gonna get we're deep in it now. We're deep in it now. I Don't want to disappoint people with my reaction. I just don't want you to look at me for a reaction And for me to my reaction to be underwhelming The thought of that makes me want to cry the thought of someone being excited about giving me a gift and then I don't give them an ample Oh I do like giving gifts. How about that last year? What did I get Jason for Christmas? I'd love to tell you What the fuck did I get on for Christmas? Did I tell you what I got on for what the fuck did I get on for Christmas? Guys last year I have no fucking clue what I got Jason for Christmas Which leans into the idea that I think I could do better with gift giving Jason is absolutely a better gift giver than me. We as a couple. I think lean into the fact that our The milestones that we get to enjoy together in our lives Christmas anniversary birthdays That we both would far prefer an experience together than an actual physical gift Queen Emma asked did you purposely not do this for any baby shower? Weird That was a weird question to ask Queen Emma And you can bet your bottom fucking dollar that I had a unwrapped gift baby shower I almost didn't have a baby shower because I did I didn't want to be the center of attention. I don't like it. This is not, I swear to God, there are people who are like, oh, no, I don't like my birthday. I straight up don't like my fucking birthday. I don't want people to text me. I mean, like, happy birthday. I don't want it. I don't want to have a party for myself. I don't want to fucking, I am the complete opposite of the people who are like, it's my birth month. That's not me, that, oh, no, oh my God, no, I'm sweating now. I'm sweating, I have actual sweat under my armpits. I'm sweating, it's because the set is so cozy and also because I don't like the idea of opening gifts in front of people. Well, even though I may not love receiving gifts, I do love watching people, specifically my tiny humans, open them during the holidays, because their little face is on Christmas morning. Are you kidding me? And you can purchase great gifts that are going to get the best reactions no matter how awkward you are, all on Amazon. That doesn't for Doom Scroll the Week, brought to you by Amazon. Coming up, Michael Buble is joining me, but first some messages from me. Real ones, if you're like me and every year around this exact time you're reminded you have a list full of people to buy gifts for and next to zero ideas. I have some great news for all of us. You can pretty much find everything for everyone right on Amazon, plus they have holiday deals on gifts everyone wants. I often catch myself opening up Amazon to go and get something on purpose, and then I scroll the deals that are right there on the front page because it's like they know what I would want and I love it. I also like that it's broken up into categories for gifts because that makes it very nice to navigate. You guys already know I love a good deal and with Amazon's holiday deals, this type C mom is ahead of the game for maybe the first time in my life 'cause you know what that means. I'm gonna order the gifts now. And then they're gonna sit in the closet until I speedwrap them on Christmas Eve. The girls are asking for some new dolls, always. Then he wants lipstick and Ellie will probably take any stuffy under the sun. And luckily, no matter what the girls ask for this year, there's a very high chance I can get it right on Amazon and have it delivered directly to my door. Head to amazon.com and shop holiday deals now. The Hestory truck is one of the best-selling most beloved and longest-running toy brands in America. I still remember going to my great aunt's house and the wall of Hestrocks that they had because coming from an all-girl house, we got our fill of toy cars and trucks there. And as the real ones have seen right on our set, all episode Hest makes far more than just trucks. Every year, it's a brand new vehicle and a brand new moment. This year, it's a pair of stock car racers. Let's check it out. Oh, yes. Oh, what? Do not let my children get eyes on this. It's a big car and a little baby car. I'm going to guess that Ellie is going to be the most jazz about this because she and I have a habit of sitting on the kitchen floor and sending the cars back and forth to each other. If you want to start a tradition, your kids will look back on. You can get it only at hesttoytruck.com, free shipping, batteries already in it. Honestly, it's the easiest win of the holidays. That's actually very cool. (upbeat music) (whooshing) He's the five-time Grammy Award winner with six multi-platinum albums behind the bangers you love. Like, haven't met you yet and feeling good. He won his first two seasons as a coach on the voice and is currently trying to do it a third time. He's also a fellow parent of four, has one of the best collections of Christmas music of all time and now he's not going to lie. Michael Buble, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. This feels surreal. For me too. This is so exciting, first of all. I will do a whole time for this. We have been trying to finagle this for a while and I feel like 'tis the season, you know? Yeah, it's the perfect time. This is perfect. I feel like I dominate all seasons, you know? I mean, I love the Christmas is such a beautiful park but like, you gotta have me back on Mother's Day. Maybe if I'm on time. Done. Well, it's the holiday season coming up. It's the holiday season? Yeah. Just, I might be biased, but my husband and a couple of his former Eagles teammates have been putting out Christmas music the past few years, this past year. But it was benefiting Philadelphia charities and I think it's amazing. First of all, have you seen the Eagles O'Line, men, Jordan, my lot of sing? Yes. Would you agree? Because I say this all the time to my husband, I think it's very annoying that he's good at everything. (laughs) Would you agree that it's totally unfair when professional athletes can sing? Sometimes God just loves other people more, you know? I don't know why that is, but it happens a lot. It's a pain in my ass. Yeah, I understand. To be fair, I'm on record saying this previously, but I, one of the many, many things I love about marrying my husband is the fact that you kind of have to pick your spouse to be on your team. And so if he's winning, I'm winning. Yeah, I love that. I love that for me. I love that. I love that, that's a name. The competitive nature in me really takes over in that. But I've also been recruiting a lot of our musical guests to join the next Eagles album. So maybe you might want to tag in. I'm down. You know, I learned a lot. One of your former guests, Ed Sheeran, he's the guy that I love and he's kind of, he's a guy that just says yes to everything. And I love that. We talked one day and he was like, "Mike, I just say yes." And then if it sucks, my manager can stop it. So I feel like I'm the same way. I'm just like, "Yes, this all sounds great." That's perfect. Can I tell you something that I'm doing, that I did, it was, that's been amazing. I don't even know how I'm supposed to talk about this. If we can't, we'll bleep it right now. There you go. Go ahead. I love, I love country music. And I have love country music my whole life. Yes. And I never saw it as like, I was like, oh, it's like, you know, it's like the cousin of the great American songbook. It's like Gershwin, I went to Nashville. I have a producer named Dan Huff. I played with a great, and I have made a love letter to country music. And it's old school. It's not like, you know what I mean? It's not like. Yes. It's my interpretation. I have never had an experience that has been better musically. I'm so excited to put up this record. I don't know if 10 people are gonna love it, but I don't care. 'Cause I feel like I are the right to make a beautiful record. You had to, I believe, two different country where they, did they coach with you on the voice? Yeah, it's Kelsey Valorini. And I had, I had, I had, well, obviously, Reba McIntyre. Yes. But also I was really close to Blake Shelton. And listen, my whole life, it's weird. Like my mom asked me one day, she was like, why did you, what happened that you decided to go and do this? And I was like, mom, I go look at my records. My first ever recording ever, when I was 16, was Patsy Clients, Bill Bailey. And every single record I've made up until now, there's always a tribute. My last record had to do it with Willie Nelson. Record before it was Dolly Parton. You know, I was covering everything from Chris Christoffus into Hank Williams. I love it so much. And so if there's anything that I can tell you about, like where we come on here and hawk our wares, it's not even ready, I haven't even finished it. But I'm telling you, this one is like so special for me, it is so beautiful. Okay, so when can we expect? I don't know anything. I don't know. I just know that it's so good. And like, when you want to announce it. I went into, I don't know now. I announced it to you. No, I was going to say, we'll clip that, if we bleep this, we're going to clip it. And later on, we're going to be like, we knew this would work. You know what I say? If anyone tries to stop me from talking about this. Fuck him. Fuck him. You know what, you know what last week's episode, you know what the theme was? No. This is the bad. By the way, I didn't know what to expect here. This has been, I think it's all the rails, you're all the rails. We're not on a podcast or whatever this is. And I'm like just sitting talking to you on it. Whatever morning is, what morning is it? Tuesday, it's Tuesday. Yeah, I got to remember, oh, my mom is going to hate this one. Yeah, does mom care if we, does she care if we curse? Oh, of course. Okay, we're going to have to leave that guest font, please. Queen Emma. You can, don't do what you do. Okay, I am going to ask though, what is your favorite Christmas song to perform? I think I'll be home for Christmas. I love I'll be home for Christmas. What a beautiful, beautiful song. I think it's one of the most well crafted songs ever. It's so beautiful. And. I swear you listen to that and you can feel yourself walking down like a very neighborhood road. Yes. Where there's still a sheet of snow in the middle of the road. Like it hasn't been plowed yet. And everything is covered in snow. Like everything is like that's beautiful. That's what it sounds like to me as a completely non-musically talented human being that just enjoys listening. You know, it's. going to be fun for me because after this interview I pack my bags I go and do the voice finale and then I fly to Rome where the Pope has asked me to come and perform and I'm going to sing some Christmas songs and other songs but I get to sing Christmas songs there and it's going to be that's unreal yeah and my wife was in the car yesterday with me and and she was like Mike I'm going to cry the whole time and you know listen I know we're I know this interview and how we're talking everyone cynical about all of it you and I have kids I love Christmas I loved it before when I was a kid but now I love it even more because I just see it through the eyes of them and I can't tell you how much I love building those memories those core memories and waking up and and you know making cookies you know with Christmas music playing the background it's setting up we're going to set the tree tonight like we've already kind of set it up but now we're going to all put the anyway I don't know yes this is like those are the moments that I will probably search for for the rest of my life and they're happening now so I love this I love being a part of it it's crazy to think that you can think of all the Christmas is that you remember in all the memories you have but then to think that you are actively creating them for your children to be able to look back the same way you do on the magic that your parents were able to create yes is such a crazy it feels like a pressure that I am it's a welcome pressure yeah it's so exciting to be a part of it totally we just went to a mall right look it this is my my cover of my phone oh you mean you literally just went to the mall yeah I thought you meant when you were growing you went to the mall yesterday the picture was Santa yeah and it's the same Santa it's actually sad is helper who does it for Santa but every year since my kids were born it's been you know 12 years that we go to the same mall same Santa then people people I know people I show up and people are like is this really happening and what's funny is this you're my wife said to me like okay Mike this year we're going to wear all pajamas and they say like and she said yeah you can wear like a coat with pajamas but we're all going to wear the matching pajamas and I say like I draw the line at pajamas at the mall no because I just knew because you know what happens people take pictures of me sure you know what I mean it was it was one step too far just a step too far I said I will wear a cactus and now we know the line that's it yes all but you got it you got a family photo with that is honestly so sweet yeah I will ask you I'll ask you one more Christmas question just because like I said this season is coming I love are you kidding me I I just need to know how it's all Christmas stuff well that's because Canadian Thanksgiving yeah but I listen I'm like a blue glare and I'm not gonna lie we should start listening to Christmas music in June what I really can't do that no we can't it would be great for my streaming revenue let's go I will tell you at some point there was a little blurb I don't know if it was in sports illustrated or like a roster thing that the Eagles did I have no idea where it came from but there was a little blurb that asked my husband what he listened to before games yeah and he said Christmas music that's amazing so he's doing his part that's you know for me too it was a good year for my music in sports I don't know if you know this but the Otani thing was crazy like they win the World Series every single this the last two years every single time Otani walks up the bat or pitches his song is me on birds flying high you know how I think and so my phone blew up every single game when do I get to say my thing when do I get that actually sounds like heaven oh at the end do you want to do it now really well I kind of do it now because it kind of gets into a lot of questions that I have for you oh I know this is your pod but I have a lot of questions will we can go off the rails can I roll to run down but like it's kind of just a suggestion sorry just quickly then yeah let's do it hi I'm Michael Booblay and I'm not gonna lie no matter what my wife says fantasy football is real I'm a good manager I have built a culture of winning and I always treat my players fairly I really have my nine weeks or not too much they're not I nine yes okay so I actually saw a clip from last football season on Rich Eisen mm-hmm mm-hmm I love it or you said that he's incredible isn't he mm-hmm yes I love wasy jeez the ways uh you said you trade all of your Grammys five you're going to give five whole Grammys mm-hmm for your fantasy football leagues trophy is that still the case I don't want to get emotional right now because I don't want to do that because you know what I mean I know people have this vision of me like very much like your husband as a really macho tough sure really cool handsome guy yeah um I don't want to do this but listen last night I became it's my first time the champion of the Larkinata Gillatin league where I watched I'm trying to get through this I love this so much I just want to thank firstly let me just do this let me thank god number one to have him a back because without him it's not even my glory not possible not possible um but I also want to thank Drake May uh Smith and Jigba wish he'd rice um very much um and um Jalen Hertz who helped me to win my league and now I get a t-shirt where all the guys' heads have been cut off and I get to wear it and I will be I am so proud today was a big day I'm sorry I'm getting for clip but you know what's funny I wanted to ask you because this is a question I woke up this morning I was like please I really want to know oh no what is it what do you and please I know you're going to be honest that's why this is such a great when people say fantasy football yeah what is the thing that goes through your head like what do you feel how does it make you feel I feel excited that it is a way that fans can buy in in a different capacity and I love that it gets you um it increases your awareness across the league yes I love that okay because I very much I live in a bubble I live in a bubble where it is chiefs and it is equals and mostly eagles a lot of eagles of course I mean yeah and and I outside of those two I don't focus on the other teams as much I love that fantasy football gives people the opportunity to lean in yes and also to invest in players that they would not have otherwise followed yes I love that so much I love it and there's no but coming there's no but oh I do not fantasy oh okay but I do not fantasy okay okay my question for you is yeah how's your wife feel about fantasy football she hates it okay she it is it is to say she hates it is an understatement I think um I'm so I'm laughing but it really has affected it's driving a wedge I got it it's affected our life listen we go to church on we go to church on Saturdays now okay oh yeah and uh she said that why we need to go to church at five o'clock on a Saturday one night we can go to church at 10 a.m. on a Sunday and I say to her babe that's 10 a.m. is this game start time that's when we start art you know and if I'm not there and if I'm not there to manage and bring the good vibes my guys are not going

you know yeah ladies this is I was gonna say productive activity but I can't lie to you it's something that brings up morale the real ones already know I love being at my house I'm a homebody but I will admit sometimes it is worth it to get out of the house for a very cool opportunity even if I'm left feeling drained really when I go out to crowded places crowded places I don't even realize it in the moment but after the fact I just want to be in a dark room by myself if your social battery is feeling a little drained this holiday season but you don't want to miss out on holiday parties and

You are on this season alongside Snoop Dogg, Nile, and Reba. Who have you become the closest with? That is a really great question. Snoop has a really good heart, and Snoop is one of the few coaches, few people I've seen who, when he says that he's going to be there for those kids, for those artists, like he's there. They're his family. Reba, I thought Snoop was going to be, like I thought I was going to walk into that voice, thing that first season, and it was going to be all like West Coast, and it turns out, no, it's actually McIntyre. Reba McIntyre is the old school gig. She's a gangster. She is, I would say, consummate professional. She is badass. She is kind and warm and empathetic and smart and funny and intuitive, but she's a badass, like you do not mess with Reba, she's like, she's a killer, like she's everything you hope that she would be, like the greatest. Nile, it's really special to me because I met Nile before he was in one direction, which is really weird, but I met that Nile, I was a guest, me and Robbie Williams, were on a camera, if I was called what it was, X Factor, whatever that show was, that they sort of brought that group together, but I remember meeting him in the dressing room with Harry and William, and they were just these little sweet kids, and Robbie and I, they had great personalities, they were hilarious, and Robbie and I really liked them, and then I became friends with them, and this is like before they had this thing that exploded, and then I would like see them two years, and Nile and I just be were friends, like we were really good friends, and he would come and invite him to my show and he'd get up and sing, or when I was playing arenas, or the arenas down there, and then I would say, "Hey man, come out and hang, let's drink," and he was such a sweet kid, and I'm really proud of him because I watched him go from this kid that was part of this boy band, and then you watched Harry take off, and it was like, "Oh my God, Harry's the guy," and this kid was so ambitious, he never stopped working, he never let the noise get to him, just kept writing, just kept working on his craft, and just like, by the way, he had the goods to back it up, the kid could write, the kid could sing, the kid was a good entertainer, and then, and it was thrilling for me when they said, "Hey, this season Nile is joining the voice," and I was like, "What?" Like this was so cool having, "How full circle?" "Oh, so cool," and then, like, and so what's weird is like, I'll write him now, and I'll just tell him how proud I'm proud of him, I'm like, "Dude, you're so smart, like you're really intuitive, you're so," and what's really cool is sitting next to a kid, I say he's a kid, now's like 58 years old, but he's like looking at those, those artists, those contestants, and he's, he remembers that's where he came from, and so there's even a deeper sense of empathy where you can see him, you know, going like, "I'll remember that," and so everything he says is, is crafted so carefully because he's very sensitive to how they're feeling, and what a, what a special, so cool, degree of humility to be able to apply to that coaching situation. Yeah, and I love it. That's so special. I think we'd all die if we were like, the judge, it's like, "I know people go like, yeah, which is judges, to us, it is a big deal." Like, my first season, I never thought I would ever win, like I was like, and then this kid, Sifonio Vasquez, this little fellow, I call him the Filipino phenom, he won, and now it's really cool because I've just made a record for him. I went and just produced a record, and this record's coming out, and it's cool watching the kid. Now, one of the best parts about the voice, the fans get to vote through two additional artists to compete for the title, and they will be revealed on December 15th. So real ones, make sure to tune in. The voice, two part finale, airs December 15th and 16th at 9 p.m. on NBC and streams next day on Peacock. That was so special. I have all the info. What the heck? I have all the info. Holy God. I want the real ones to know where we're going and when we're going to be there. Okay? Well, can we, can I ask you a couple questions about Fatherhood then because I, I feel as though we could commiserate here a little bit with both having four children. Yes. And by commiserate, I mean, a little bit of like, we're in man-to-man coverage when you start out, and you start out with one, you're man-to-man coverage, everything's fine. You have enough hands to handle it all, and all of a sudden, you hit three in your zone coverage, and then you have a fourth, because why not? How are you guys doing? Oh. Oh. Is it chaos? Obviously. It's chaos. Like, we got two girls. And the two girls are so cute. And they love to, they do the little fake nails and they're watching Frozen. And then they're doing the hair and they're so sweet together. They really don't, they really are very sweet together. And then the two boys just beat the shit, the shit out of each other. Most of my life is spent doing stuff like this, I'll go like, ah, I'll go, ah, hey guys, guys, don't touch the, don't touch the, don't touch the, ah, that's moving. With the sigh. What about you? The sigh is broken. Let me tell you. Oh, I know. Oh, I know. Don't touch the, and then go. Literally yesterday, I said, can you watch mom's cup, can you watch my cup, can you watch my cup? No, my, nope, that, nope, well, don't push that, nope, okay. Can you get me some paper towels, please? It was, and it was like, oh, there's the cup, okay, oh, there's, oh, and it was just, and then we pushed the little climbing pad and down went to, and I was like, okay, yeah, I just talked to a buddy today and his wife, um, I'm just curious. I just shot him out, because he's awesome. His name is Forest Frank, and I love his music. And, um, great. And they've got little kids, you know, two little kids, and, um, nothing, and, you know, I was just saying to him, no one's ready for it. You're never prepared. You think it's going to be too much, but for us, personally, it's like every day, wake up, and, well, there's four of them in bed. There's, because especially on weekends, they're obviously in the bed, and then, um, I'm like, look at, like the little ones yellow, and my wife will literally go like, how did, how did we ever live without her? Like, you know what I mean, like, how was this family complete without, and I think that's more of my point is that once it happens, yeah, it's like it could be, there could be no other way. Yes. You know what I mean? For sure, perfect fit for whatever's happening. I very much have found myself a number of times answering people and saying, oh, I have four children. And it's so shocking for me to be like, oh, I'm old enough and responsible enough. I'm still not sure that's true, but to have four children. But then I think to myself, like, if I didn't have all four of my girls at this point, that would be the strangest thing like, if I didn't get to meet all four of them and experience them and enjoy them and like, it feels very, it just feels so complete that they are, like, and I feel so fortunate that I get to know them on a whole nother level. But it is crazy to think like we had three and at some point I was like, yeah, this, it doesn't feel like we're like, it doesn't, it doesn't feel chaotic enough. No, but don't you kind of feel like after two, two's naughty, two's, like two is a lot. Two is a lot. All of a sudden you can, you know, two's a lot. And once you have two, three and three's a lot. And then once you have three, four, it's like, it's, it's just, I just said to someone the other day, our two older are in school now. And when I needed to. go run an errand. I said as I was putting the two younger in the car, when I only had our older two and I had to pack them up into the car and go and do an errand, it felt like a daunting task. Now I put the two littles in the car. I'm like, "We're going, ladies, it's not even a thought." Because it's better than packing all four in. Now you mentioned Ed Sheeran and I asked him something that I've only gotten to ask him. But I'm going to pose it to you now because he's the only other dad that we've had on the podcast besides my husband. What's the best piece of fatherhood advice that you've ever received? Oh my God, it's so easy. My dad told me before my first game. He said, he said, "Partner, the days are long and the years are short." Oh yeah. And it was like when he said it, I was like, "Huh?" And then the second they came, I went, "It's like, that is," said, "Listen, I've been raised in a family with a lot of love. We had a good base of that." So there was nothing he could teach me that way. But understanding I think the concept of time, and again, it sounds so cliché to talk about how fast it goes. But you just, you know, I'm so lucky I married a woman so much better than me in every single way. And she's such a, she's my best friend, my manager, my everything. And she's been so clear about the need to create memories. So thank God I have a woman who is, I'm scared of, and make sure that I go and do these things because my dad was right. Yeah, we're in bed at night going like, "Oh my God, oh my God." I'm going to ask you something. And I know it's not even, it's a rhetorical question. It's bad but the fucking greatest thing. And when you, and it's, they're sleeping and it's 10.30. And even when your wife says, "Let's watch 90-day fiancee." And you go, "Okay, even though you don't really like it that much, but you still, it's the best." It's like, "Oh, the ridiculous part is when you get in bed and then you start talking about like, 'Oh, why?' It said this day or Benny said this day. It was the funniest thing. As if like, we weren't just like just fighting tooth and nail to get those suckers to go to sleep. And all of a sudden everyone's quiet and you're like, "Did you hear earlier today?" Well, I will say this. I think that truly your music, the art that you have created that we have gotten the chance to enjoy. I'm very excited about this country album. But I think that to this point, up to this point, it's very clear you said you were raised with a lot of love in your family. And I think that that shines through in the songs that you have sang and the things that you have graced the rest of the world with. So thank you so much for sharing all of that with us. And I will say that an emphasis on how you can make people feel. I do want to ask you one more thing, because this is going to be a favorite part of this interview, by the way. Well, this is one of my favorite clips of you ever. And I can only imagine how this fan felt when you brought them up on stage. And then you were shocked when he could actually say. So why this was such a magical moment is because I'm in it. There's 25,000 people there. And if you have a crowd of 100 people, they're sweet, but a crowd of 25,000 people are not sweet. A crowd of 25,000 people are brutal. And this mom is screaming. I'm doing my work in. And she's screaming at me. And she's in the middle of something. I'm in the middle of a show, a huge show. And it's all, you know, while it may seem like it's all, you know, but it's all been very prepared. And I'm in the moment doing this thing. And she's screaming at me to a point where I can't ignore it anymore. And I go, what do you want? You know, like, and I, and in that way, like, come on. What do you want? Jesus to keep screaming at me. And in my son, my son, well, I can see that as she's speaking to me, you don't get to see this with a camera. What I see is this person behind her, like this, like this. And she's out there. And she's like, you know, and, and he's, and I, this poor kid is just shrinking. Well, now I go, okay, you know what? Let's do it, kid. Let's get up here. Let's see what, and I'm watching this. And this kid's coming up. I'm going, God, man, he's just a kid. It's a 14, 15 year old kid. This kid's probably going to suck. And, and you're in front of 25,000 people. When he does these 25,000 people, so I'm sitting here, and now I'm, racing for impact, full anxiety, panic attack. That's what you're seeing is me. And if you look at it back now, and I take a bunch of friends, and I, and I'm nervously going, bro, it's flying. You know, how I feel. And, then I put the thing, and you can see my eyes looking at him. And he sings. And it's, and he can sing. And I'm, oh, so happy. Like, relief. That is the relief of me. So happy for this kid. So happy that it, that he's great. And that's, I think, why it goes so viral? Because I'm in, you can't, but I mean, for the 25,000 people, having a panic attack going, this poor kid, this is going to, they're going to ruin this kid. You know, this is going to be one of those core memory moments for this kid. And, oh, my God, mom, what have you done? Anyway, I'm really glad I can impact that because I've tried to it people. And I would love to be able to do it in one time and say, this is what happened. I will wrap us up, though. I cannot thank you enough for coming on. It has been an incredible time. I love that we went off the rails. I love nothing more. And I cannot wait to figure out how your fantasy football ends up. Yeah. I will let you know. I'm sure you'll tell us. Oh, yeah. You'll know, by the way, just, you know, I will be posting a picture of me in the shirt because we made a T-shirt. I can't wait. Of all my friends had cut off in their guilt. Perfect. Oh, yeah. I'm invested now. Once again, the voice to part finale airs December 15th and 16th at 9 p.m. Thank you so much. Thank you, guys. And that's a wrap on this special holiday episode of Not Gonna Lie.
