01:12 She's a great pitcher because she comes in with facts and what she can do to help coach and everything
01:20 I thought shoot I'd pick her too. So
01:23 Eight years ago. I met Blake and that got me into the country music genre more so, you know, I could just be like
01:29 wait
01:32 Is that fair no, okay I
01:37 Can't ever say dang. I wish they hadn't chosen her and they chose me cuz I twins good Oh
01:45 The thing is is that everything that I try to like hit she's done it as well
01:52 She has not won the boys

02:16 She does miss working with her husband, but revealed how he's enjoying his voice retirement
02:21 I never want a season without Blake the rest of my life
02:24 But Gwen assured us that Blake is loving his voice retirement fully embracing the farm life at their ranch in his home state of Oklahoma
02:33 He's just chilling right now, it's the first time in what 16 years or something that he's just had no 13
02:43 He's not on a schedule. I'm happy for him
02:45 I I remember he you know
02:46 He was kind of like wanting to stop for a couple seasons and I was like, I don't know
02:50 I won't even know who you are if you're not on the boys, but then now here he's off the voices like oh
02:55 Same Blake no matter where he goes and who better to take the place of the self-proclaimed king of the voice
03:01 Then the queen of country herself the Queen you cannot speak. Did you know she actually has a septum?
03:07 Well, I hit him cuz he's sitting by me. Did it heal?
03:10 She once suggested that she was gonna have someone beheaded as well
03:16 Oh
03:18 Spider superstar status Reba told us she definitely felt the pressure coming in as a rookie. It was very nerve-wracking
03:25 I didn't know what I was gonna say if I did turn around and pick anybody and I still don't know what to say half
03:31 The time no one understands that pressure better than Nile who came in as a rookie last year and won the season
03:37 Helping him try to seal the deal for a second time is an unexpected ally
03:43 Like if you did choose me as your coach, you know, we'd have blasts like a son to me. Oh my god
03:50 We would find lots of Nile is a global superstar
03:55 So mad at him right now this new guy comes along wins his rookie season. I'm just helping him prepare
