00:00My brother. My brother, good to see you always, man.
00:04I'm gay, man. I mean, you must be.
00:06Listen, I'm gonna be honest. I'm always excited to see you,
00:08but tonight a little more than normal because I don't know any of the reporters here.
00:12Oh, I feel the same way. I'm like, we're lost.
00:13Like, we're like kids from another school that are visiting.
00:16Yeah, we're visiting a school, and I'm like,
00:19I'm even walking up to stuff you do all the time, and I'm like,
00:23never seen you before.
00:24Am I supposed to be here?
00:25Yeah, well, of course you're supposed to be here.
00:27Good, it feels good to see someone say, ah, good, I'll see you at the CMAs.
00:29Of course, and then you just, you're here in the middle of your tour,
00:32so let's talk about tour, man.
00:34You had Jesse Murph, Wiz Khalifa, MGK out there.
00:36Yes!
00:37So how is it to have all that friendliness and support in the industry?
00:40Dude, you know, even cooler was not only having them come out on stage,
00:43Pauly Shore came to see me, Theo Vaughn came to see me, Good Charlotte came to see me.
00:48It was, it was really special.
00:51I felt, it felt like my birthday all day, you know?
00:54And to be headlining the Staples Center and making my debut there
00:57and have that much love and support was cool, man.
01:00And it was a great show, and then you get to come here now
01:02to do something very important and very meaningful.
01:04So tell me about Memorandum and how it is to prepare for something that's so important.
01:07I think that, here's the truth.
01:11To be able, to be the only, to be the artist that gets picked to do this,
01:16this is special, man.
01:17We are honoring the greatest storytellers in television, in film.
01:22We're honoring the greatest storytellers of the last, of the last years, decades.
01:27And to be the guy that gets to sing that song, man,
01:30I think it's just further proof of how important therapeutic music is
01:33and cathartic music still is and how much real music can still exist, you know?
01:38Yeah, man, you love to take us to church, as I always say.
01:40That's it, baby.
01:41And there's a new album coming, October 11th, so what can you tease?
01:43Yes, Beautifully Broken.
01:44Any collabs, what do we got?
01:45Listen, Beautifully Broken, I've got a lot of collabs.
01:47I don't know if I can tease any of them yet, but you're going to be excited.
01:50It's really cool.
01:51I have spent so much time working on this album.
01:54I've never been more proud of a body of work.
01:56She's going to get mad at me for saying this,
01:59but I have no intention of putting out a project next year.
02:01I put all my eggs in this basket.
02:04I have wrote this album.
02:06I want this album to live.
02:08Well, we're excited for it.
02:09And what show have you been watching that you're excited to see come back for a new season?
02:13Oh, goodness gracious, what am I not?
02:15The Bear, always, huge fan.
02:18I've low-key been on the carpet, lingering around, hoping to see Jeremy Allen White.
02:22Did he already come by?
02:23Oh, no, he hasn't come by, so you've got to go hunting, man.
02:25Text me if you miss him.
02:26All right.
02:27And I'm looking for him, though.
02:28I'm going to reverse track now and try to catch him.
02:30Well, we're so excited to see you perform tonight.
02:31Thank you so much for talking to us.
02:32Thank you, man.
02:33Honored to do it.
02:35Love you, brother.
02:36So happy for you, man.
02:37And I'll see you at the CMA.
02:38I'll see you there, brother.
02:39Oh, it's going to be a huge one.
