The Birch Show.
Radio Show Host
What's up, Kayfen?
Kevin Federline
What's happening?
Radio Show Host
What do we call you? K Fed Pancake Man. Daddy, Papa's out.
Kevin Federline
All the love, man. It's all right. It doesn't matter to me.
Radio Show Host
What do you prefer?
Kevin Federline
Kevin is fine.
Radio Show Host
Thanks. Thanks for coming in, man. We appreciate it.
Kevin Federline
I appreciate it.
Radio Show Host
Can you tell us. Tell us what Pancake man means because.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Yeah, we've been wondering about that all week because we heard the promo for Vision. We're like, we're like not cool at all. We're like way too white in here. We're like, I don't know what that means.
Kevin Federline
Pancake man is like, I'm serving up these hotcakes, man. With butter and syrup on top. Right out your local Waffle house. I'm looking at my CDs like hotcakes right now and they're burning up.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Gotcha.
Radio Show Host
Thanks for coming in, man. Cause we know that you get a rough ride from the media and we appreciate you trusting us.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Oh, yeah.
Radio Show Host
And like I said before you came in, this whole thing is. This whole thing is live and this whole thing is unedited. And just, you know, we're looking forward to you being real with us and getting to know Kevin Federline because everything we know about you comes filtered. So we're not going to get that Exactly.
Kevin Federline
False and filtered.
Radio Show Host
So question number one for Kevin Federline. Is it awesome being K fed or does it suck most days when you wake up? You love it or you hate it?
Kevin Federline
Well, the media K fed. I'd say it sucks. But, you know, the better half of that is I'm married to a wonderful person and, you know, I go through all the BS so I could be with her. I mean, that's basically how I look at it. At the end of the day, I'm happy because I'm in love, so.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Well, we hear obviously all the tabloid stories and the media headlines and stuff, just like you do. Do you try to stay away from it, Stay away from reading it, or do you read it so you know what to be prepared for?
Kevin Federline
Nah, I don't even pick it up. I couldn't tell you what's in your local magazine or anything like that. I don't read it anymore.
Radio Show Host
Well, we see it. And they are obsessed with you, dude.
Kevin Federline
That's crazy, right?
Radio Show Host
You have done something to them and they are on you. And I can't imagine waking up every day and having to deal with that, dude.
Kevin Federline
Yeah, it's crazy.
Radio Show Host
And it's to the point where obviously, you know, you're doing your whole music thing now and you've got. Is it April 25th or 24th?
Kevin Federline
Yeah, we're probably gonna push that back to midsummer maybe.
Radio Show Host
Is it still called off the Record?
Kevin Federline
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
Radio Show Host
What's the name of it? Are you not saying now? Are you allowed to say Playing with.
Kevin Federline
Fire is the name of it?
Radio Show Host
Okay, so it's to the point, like, you just would you. You would have been doing music regardless of your relationship and your marriage and all that, right?
Kevin Federline
Oh, yeah.
Radio Show Host
Like, that was always a dream of yours.
Kevin Federline
Oh, yeah.
Radio Show Host
I can't ask you, like, if you regret because, I mean, all this stuff started when you got married to Britney, but you were under a magnifying glass. And I made the joke this morning, like, some of the stuff that gets played on the radio is not good, but for whatever reason, they have singled you out.
Kevin Federline
Yeah, man.
Radio Show Host
Why is that?
Kevin Federline
I have no idea. Public interest, I guess.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Well, I think there's a lot of public interest, obviously, around your relationship because Britney's like the biggest pop star ever. All time. I mean, seriously. And everybody's such huge fans of hers and has followed her career since, you know, she was a little kid. But I think there was a lot of controversy because your relationship before Britney and there's all this controversy about you leaving that relationship to be with her. Is there anything you can say about that or want to talk about that to clear it up?
Kevin Federline
Well, I mean, from the beginning, you know that, that relationship before was, was over way, way before that. So I mean, by, by them creating this thing out of that, that's, that's how it did happen, I think, because, I mean, if they would have looked at it like, okay, he really wasn't with this person when he got with her and this and that. I mean, that's how it was. Me and, me and Char have been split up for a long time, so. But that's not how the media portrayed it. They portrayed it like, oh, he left her and left his kids and all that. And it's not even like that. So, I mean, if, if everybody knew that from the beginning, I think the perception would have been going.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
The controversy would have been completely different.
Kevin Federline
I mean, some of it, you know, they're going to build controversy anyways. That's the only way they know how to sell their magazine. Nobody wants to hear about, oh, well, he took his kids and his wife to the park today and took him to SeaWorld. And, you know, they don't care about that.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Right. So it's got to be about the controversy. But for somebody like you or even like Brittany, there's some benefit to that too, because people are talking about you. So, so how much can you, how much can you really hate the controversy? Because you're top of mind with everybody.
Kevin Federline
Yeah, there you go. I'm not selling records completely mad at you. It's not a, it's like a love hate thing over here. You know, it's, it's, it's a fifty. Fifty. You, you, you got to take the bad and, and go with the good at the same time.
Radio Show Host
Let's talk like, you know, we do entertainment news and everything. It all happens on this. When you hear even stuff about other people, not even you. If we're listening at it, we're listening to it as consumers, not in Los Angeles. Percentage wise, how much of it is complete BS?
Kevin Federline
I'd say 85 to 90% of everything they talk about is BS.
Radio Show Host
So they find 10% of honesty and whatever it is, and then they're gonna take that and they're gonna make that into whatever is gonna sell them the magazines and stuff, pretty much.
Kevin Federline
And then sometimes you Know, they get. They get things to where? Like how Nick and Jessica, they talk about them breaking up for like a.
Radio Show Host
Year until they do.
Kevin Federline
Until they do. Exactly so. And then it makes them look right.
Radio Show Host
How many? Go ahead, finish your shot.
Kevin Federline
So, I mean, like, they. They build up and build up and build up this thing. I think they're kind of like using psychology boy or something.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Boy.
Radio Show Host
How many records or albums do you think? Records? Jesus, what am I, 50.
Kevin Federline
Hotcakes?
Radio Show Host
How many. How many hotcakes do you have to sell? Is there ever going to be a point where you are just. You're k fed the musical artist? Will that happen?
Kevin Federline
Yeah, it's going to. It's going to have to.
Radio Show Host
And will. And will they shut up then?
Kevin Federline
No, we're going to keep them talking.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Do you like or hate the Mr. Britney Spears title?
Kevin Federline
It doesn't matter to me.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
It doesn't. It doesn't bother you at all?
Kevin Federline
It's hard to get to me, you know, like, they try every week and it doesn't work. So.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
So tell me this, because, I mean, we're loving having you in studio. I don't want to make you uncomfortable at all. And I know that you say you don't read these things, but the listeners out there of the Bird show hear about these rumors about you guys every day. Can we go through some of them and do fact or fiction? Is there. You don't want to do that. There's no way. So that would be. That would end the interview. Because I don't want to end the interview.
Kevin Federline
But I'll tell you right now, I.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Feel an obligation to the listeners to bring some stuff up to you because we have you in studio. So I don't want to step over the line, but I did want to ask about some of them.
Kevin Federline
Well, I'll tell you right now, you don't even have to ask. It's all false.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
All of it?
Kevin Federline
Yep. Everything is all fiction.
Radio Show Host
Yeah, that's what I was talking about earlier. It's got a. I mean, it's a. What is it called? You know, like a catch 22 or whatever, where it's just a circle that never ends. And that is. That's why I was asking about the. About the music. Is that gonna stop it? Is that gonna shut them up?
Kevin Federline
I think that the, you know, the more. The more music that people hear, the more they're gonna want to talk about my music, the more they're gonna want to hear my music because it's. From here on out, it's hits and that's it. I'm only. Only dropping hits. I'll make sure every song on the album is a hit.
Radio Show Host
Is it all. Is it done, or are you still in the studio working?
Kevin Federline
I'm still in the studio, brother.
Radio Show Host
And you said the original Release date.
Kevin Federline
Was April 25th, but we're pushing that back a few months. I'll probably drop a video on a single around April 25th.
Radio Show Host
Are you doing any production with Atlanta people?
Kevin Federline
I'm about to meet everybody, so I'm excited, man. I hear a lot of good things about everybody out here. It's all love out here. Nobody's really trying to hate on anybody in the music game. And I'm really interested. They got a lot of hits coming out of here right now.
Radio Show Host
How does that go when you meet with, like, we talked to Dallas Austin, Jermaine Dupree, you know, some of the jazzy fae when those guys are here? Like, how does a meeting go if you're a brand new artist? Like, you, like, how does that, like, will you bring samples of your work?
Kevin Federline
Yeah, definitely. I'll come in and play some stuff for them and if they're feeling it and they want to work together, you know, it's all a vibe thing. It's like, I'm not going to go and work with somebody where I feel tension between us or it's not at all. It has to be all love. You know, you feel the warmth in the room when you come in. That's how you create a good record, man.
Radio Show Host
Is there pressure? Like, when you go in, do you feel nervous? Like a guy going to a job interview and like, you got somebody like Jermaine Dupree who's listening to your stuff.
Kevin Federline
Sometimes, you know, I was getting at first when I started meeting with a couple labels and stuff like that, and I was a little bit nervous, but now, you know, it's kind of. It's clockwork.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
So what producers are you working with right now?
Kevin Federline
Just people that I've been finding. People that are unheard of, that have a lot of fire on their hands, man. Kids that are like 20, 21 years old, the fresh ones from the West Coast. And I mean, I haven't really done too much with anybody big yet. That's why the album's not done. I want to throw a couple of those on there.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Gotcha. Very cool.
Radio Show Host
Hanging out live in studio with Kevin Federline.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
What's the most scary paparazzi situation you've ever been in?
Kevin Federline
I think probably after we had the baby. Oh, it was. It was Pretty crazy.
Radio Show Host
That's gonna freak you out as a father to know that that's gone.
Kevin Federline
That's what I don't like about it. Everything is fine and dandy when you're messing with me and my wife, but whenever you start playing around with my kid, I don't like it.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Right.
Radio Show Host
Hey, let me try. I'm looking for Kelly. Hold on. Hey, Kelly, this is Allison. Hold on. Allison, Kelly. I don't know why Kelly's not lighting up here on my board. She wants to know what makes you different than Eminem, who is probably the only other white rapper that she knows.
Kevin Federline
You know, I don't know him too much personally.
Radio Show Host
I think she's talking like.
Kevin Federline
Like, on the music side of it, my delivery is completely different than Eminem. I'm sure that we've been through a lot of the same situations in life, but the way that I'm gonna talk about it is completely different. I guess I'll say.
Radio Show Host
You're gonna lose me if every song is about your kid. Like, I get it. Eminem, you love Haley. I get it.
Kevin Federline
I haven't done one of those.
Radio Show Host
You can do. Hey, I'm fine with.
Kevin Federline
Oh, it'll happen.
Radio Show Host
Yeah, I'm good with one or two. But every single song, it's like, hey, this is what's up with Haley today. Haley went to school. It's the. Haley went to school rap, like.
Kevin Federline
But I mean, you know, look, look, I have a lot of respect for him for that. You know, there's a lot of kids that don't have no father out there that. That want to quit everything that they're doing just to go be with their kid. I mean, that's. To me, that's nobody. They have to respect him for that. You know, to come out here and sell all those records and be in that light and have that energy and that drive that's been feeding you for so long, and now just to stop and go home with your kid, That's. That's the best.
Radio Show Host
How do you make it? Cause you grew up in Northern California.
Kevin Federline
Yeah.
Radio Show Host
And then give us kind of like your resume before you became Coverboy. Like, tell us, like, was it Fresno?
Kevin Federline
Yeah, I was born and raised in Fresno. You know, I.
Radio Show Host
When did you decide to get into entertainment?
Kevin Federline
I started dancing when I was young, like, 13, in the streets, you know, break hip hop stuff. And then I quit for a while, got into a bunch of BS and started back up when I was 19. Moved to LA when I was 21. Was out in LA for about 6 years. Just dancing for other artists.
Radio Show Host
What did your family say to you when you moved to la? Were they like, you're nuts, dude?
Kevin Federline
Nah, I think they were happy because the other direction wasn't a good one. So anything to get me out of where I was at and doing something positive and making money legally and all that stuff was a plus.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
So who are the other artists that you worked for or danced for?
Kevin Federline
I've danced for everybody from Destiny's Child, Michael Jackson, us.
Radio Show Host
How does that. How does that work when you, like, do you get a phone call and, like, when you're, like, you go to. You got to. Obviously, I'm guessing it's a ton of networking at first.
Kevin Federline
When I first went out there, it's a bunch of auditioning. You know, you're. You're in and out of auditions all the time. You're trying to pick up people's choreography, Whoever the hot choreographers are, you know, you stick to that and you learn it. And then once. Once people started seeing my talent and what I was doing, I mean, I was just getting jobs, just getting called right and left.
Radio Show Host
So, like, tour managers or whoever, like, tour designers will call you and be like, every.
Kevin Federline
Like, for dancers and stuff out there, they have agents. Everybody out there, you know, there's like an agent for everything in Hollywood, man. So it's all delivered through them. They'll call you and tell you, look, you book this, you book this. You got to show up for this audition, this interview here, there. I mean, it's crazy.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
When you're out on the road with those artists, you have interaction with them. Or is it sort of dance? The dance group is separate from the artist?
Radio Show Host
Well, yes, some interaction. You marry one of them. Well, there's a little interaction there.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Well, we know that, Jeff.
Kevin Federline
Some people, you have interaction. Like when I went on tour with Pink, that was the best time. That was probably my favorite tour that I've been on so far, because all of us were family. We lived on the bus together and traveled around the world for about a year and a half and just, you know, really got to know each other, and everybody clicked. It was. There was no. There was no fighting and hatred or anything like that on the bus. It was all love and it was fun. We had a good time with her. She's cool people, man.
Radio Show Host
Who was. Who was the worst? Or is that a. Not good. Not a good question to answer as you're trying to put an album out?
Kevin Federline
Not. You know, I don't. You know, I don't really have a worst. I Think since, like, who's the one.
Radio Show Host
Who is the toughest on you?
Kevin Federline
My first tour, when I went. I went out with lfo, okay? And they were opening up for Brittany at the time. Whenever I went out with them. This was like seven years ago, man. So it was just tough. Like, they. Those dudes are crazy, man. They're crazy. A lot of wild things happen with those guys.
Radio Show Host
I gotta ask you a question. Not. It's. It's about your personal life. It's not about tabloids or anything like that. Like, is your existence, like, normal? Like, can you, Brittany, go to a grocery store ever? Or, like, what if you're craving a Big Mac?
Kevin Federline
What do you do?
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
We.
Kevin Federline
We do it just like a normal person would. But, I mean, just a lot goes with it, you know, it depends if. If there's 20, 30 paparazzi on you.
Radio Show Host
Are they waiting at the end of your driveway?
Kevin Federline
Oh, yeah, man.
Radio Show Host
And they just wait for you to go to the store.
Kevin Federline
30 cars outside there. If we were in LA right now, when we were in LA, just this last time, 40 people on it, probably. It's crazy.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Y' all should move to Atlanta because it's not like that here.
Radio Show Host
We only got rich.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Make it your new home. Nobody bothers Bobby and Whitney. They're cool. They're hanging out. And Alpharetta, no paparazzi. We don't let. We don't let them in.
Radio Show Host
Well, Rick's a paparazzi. He's just a hard fellow to hide.
Phil
That and a bunch of salespeople.
Radio Show Host
So can you. Like, you have any scope of a normal life? Like, how many times a week if you're not, like. Let's say you're not working and you're, you know, like, we know you were in Hawaii. How many times are you sitting in your suite or whatever, and you're like, God, I would love to go get a coffee or go for a walk with my wife and my kid down the beach, but I'm just not gonna.
Kevin Federline
Do it every day.
Radio Show Host
Every single day, at least once.
Kevin Federline
You think about it every day. You. You know, there's. There's a time for it and a time not for it. I mean, but we get. You know, we get to do our. Do you sit here and say that? It's.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
It's.
Kevin Federline
You know, it gets to us like that? Because it doesn't. We'll get out and we'll do what we have to do and. And that's it. That's. That's the price that we pay for doing what we're Doing right now.
Radio Show Host
Do you have disguises?
Kevin Federline
I don't, I don't. I don't think there's no way of me putting a disguise on, but she, she could. She gets away with it.
Radio Show Host
She's got wigs and stuff like that.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Oh, yeah, it's pretty cool. That's what I was wondering if you had a lookalike.
Kevin Federline
I think that would be awesome. We thought about it. Yeah, we need, we, we. We need to definitely try that out and see how. I know, like, Brad Pitt has a lookalike. He does, yeah, he has a couple of them.
Radio Show Host
Hey, we gotta, we gotta let Phil talk to you for a few minutes, because Phil is challenged, if you will. Yeah, I mean, look at him. He's not an ugly man. And you were talking with him. He's got a decent personality.
Kevin Federline
Yeah, Phil's cool, man.
Phil
Well, here's. Here's the thing, Kevin. Me and you really aren't that different if you look, if you look at it like this. Because if you're, if you, if you're.
Radio Show Host
Waiting for Kevin to walk out, it's gon happen in about five minutes. Go ahead, Phil.
Phil
So you're 28, I'm 27. Okay. Now we both party in Vegas. Now, granted, you're partying it pure at Caesars. I'm hanging out at the Golden Nugget.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Downtown Vegas.
Phil
Nonetheless, Vegas, we're still in the same town, so we're still there some way.
Radio Show Host
Bill's got a budding rap career.
Phil
I've got a. Yes, it's awesome. And the thing is, you've obviously you've not done too bad when it comes to the ways of the women. I mean, damn, look at your wife. Congratulations. You know, and me, on the other hand, hold on. They've given me a dating book.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
We're trying to help him out. It's the most simple way possible. Now he has cards he can hand out.
Phil
Obviously, I can't talk to him. And so they have literally, I've digressed to handing out note cards to him and to talk to him. So. Kevin, and one thing I like about you that I've already noticed is that you've got it. You kind of got this cocky cool about you that's very. That I admire that I wish I could have, but probably too much caffeine in me right now to never be able to pull that off. So if you could give any advice for. I'm doing this for the listeners, not just me, but I will be writing this down. The advice, like, what did you do? What does it take to keep that cocky coolness that women seem to love so much that some of us obviously don't like.
Radio Show Host
Well, I think replacing your calculator watch with his $40,000 piece of playing that might help a little bit.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
It's. No, that's not it. Because, you know, even guys with a lot of money don't score girls. I mean, it's an attitude, right?
Phil
What is your attitude?
Kevin Federline
What?
Phil
You walk into a room, like when you were the single guy about the town. And you walk into the room, what is going through your head when you know this? You're gonna own that party.
Kevin Federline
I don't know. You know, I don't really even look at it like that. I go in somewhere like that and I'm looking like, okay, I'm gonna have a good time. Or if bad things start happening, I'm like, all right, I'm outta here. You know, that's just a part of who I am. I think a lot of the women that I got is probably from my dancing and stuff. They like to see a guy.
Radio Show Host
Evans.
Kevin Federline
Yeah. Show me some moves.
Radio Show Host
Show some dance moves.
Kevin Federline
Tomorrow. Hey, tomorrow we need to have a contest for Phil too.
Phil
Again. Vision, vip, Pure and Caesar's Gold Nugget. Wild Bills tomorrow night.
Radio Show Host
So they're in parallel lives.
Phil
We're one in the same, but kind of different. So you would. If you give one sentence of advice. Lay it on me.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Hmm?
Kevin Federline
Just snap. That's it, man. You just snap. You just walk in and snap.
Radio Show Host
Go out in the hallway right now, felon. Snap. Watch the saleswoman.
Kevin Federline
There you go.
Phil
Watch these.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Hold them. Watch this.
Kevin Federline
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Radio Show Host
Here we go.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Sorry, Phil.
Radio Show Host

Kevin Federline
Thank you for having me.
Radio Show Host
And you know what? I gotta, like. Yeah. Try. I mean, I know it's tough. Don't hate the media, though, because we're all not trying to be like that.
Kevin Federline
Oh, no, man. I don't hate him.
Radio Show Host
And I hope if you hook something up with the. Hold on. Well, hang on. We'll take a break and we'll come back. But say you come back to Atlanta and you hook up with one of these producers here. We would love to have you back in.
Kevin Federline
Oh, definitely.
Radio Show Host
How late your party at. When you party in Vegas for your birthday. How long does that go? Sun Come up.
Kevin Federline
No, no, no. For them, maybe for everybody else. For me, I'm in bed by like three o'. Clock. 3:30.
Radio Show Host
All right, cool.
Kevin Federline
Maybe not out here though. We'll party till the sun comes up.
Radio Show Host
Hey, Lauren. Hey, what's going on, guys? What's up? Say hi to K. Finn. What's up?
Kevin Federline
How you doing, baby?
Radio Show Host
How you like in Atlanta?
Kevin Federline
I love it.
Radio Show Host
Good.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
I have a question.
Radio Show Host
Obviously all we ever hear about you is bad stuff in the media and we don't know what's true and what's not. I just wanted to know the most romantic thing that you've ever done for Brittany. Oh, wow, that's a tough question even for a non celebrity guy to answer.
Kevin Federline
No, I could tell you that one.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Night.
Kevin Federline
I got this hotel room and I had these people go there and set it all up, you know, and I, I told them to load the room with roses and, and put candles inside the bathtub and all that stuff. Right. Well, we get there and I look at what these people did for me. They put this, they, they must have cut up about four or five dozen roses at least. I'm talking every little petal was off of these roses. Roses. And they created this huge heart in the middle of the bed that was about 2ft high. That's how thick it was. I mean, it was it. She loved it. She, you know, she was crying and all that good stuff, so.
Radio Show Host
That's so sweet.
Kevin Federline
I'm a romantic, I gotta say. I try to, I try my hardest to keep her happy.
Radio Show Host
No, you're not, man. Don't you read the magazine, Jerry? Punk. Man, there's nothing, there's nothing good about you. Right. We hope to, to see you again and good luck with all your meetings today and your interviews or whatever you call with all the guys.
Kevin Federline
Thank you guys so much.
Radio Show Host
Cool. Thank you for coming in.
Kevin Federline
All right, the Bird Show.
Sarah Gibson Tuttle
Hi, this is Kim and Penn Holderness from Laugh Lines. And today we want to talk to you about Boost Mobile.
Radio Show Host

Podcast: The Bert Show by Pionaire Podcasting
Guests: Kevin Federline
Hosted by: Bert, Sarah Gibson Tuttle, Phil, and others
This special vault episode features Kevin Federline (“K-Fed”), discussing his life in and out of the spotlight—from music ambitions and navigating relentless media scrutiny, to family life with Britney Spears and the realities of fame. The conversation is lively and authentic, with hosts probing rumors, exploring the truth behind headlines, and inviting Kevin to bare his perspective, personality, and advice.
Stage Name & Media Attention
The hosts joke about what to call Federline (K-Fed, Pancake Man, etc.), to which he responds:
“All the love, man. It’s all right. It doesn’t matter to me… Kevin is fine.” (01:32)
What Does “Pancake Man” Mean?
Federline explains:
“Pancake man is like, I’m serving up these hotcakes, man. With butter and syrup on top. Right out of your local Waffle House. I’m looking at my CDs like hotcakes right now and they’re burning up.” (01:53)
Media Pressure
Kevin candidly says being “K-Fed” in the media often “sucks”—but focuses on the positive side:
“I’m married to a wonderful person, and… I go through all the BS so I could be with her.” (02:45)
Dealing with False Narratives
Kevin distances himself from magazine headlines:
“I don’t even pick it up. I couldn’t tell you what’s in your local magazine or anything like that. I don’t read it anymore.” (03:14)
He estimates:
“85 to 90% of everything they talk about is BS.” (06:35)
His Relationship Timeline
Responding to controversy about leaving a former partner (Shar Jackson) for Britney:
“That relationship before was over way, way before that… Me and Char have been split up for a long time… But that’s not how the media portrayed it.” (04:58)
Living With Rumors
“You don’t even have to ask. It’s all false. …All of it? …Yep. Everything is all fiction.” (08:22–08:27)
Album Details
Kevin confirms the title change of his album to "Playing with Fire," with a release likely being pushed back to mid-summer:
“Playing with Fire is the name of it.” (03:51)
“We’re pushing that back a few months… probably drop a video on a single around April 25th.” (09:07)
Approach to Music
On whether his music career is contingent on his marriage:
“I would have been doing music regardless of my relationship and my marriage.” (04:02)
Working With Producers
“I’m about to meet everybody… I hear a lot of good things about everybody out here. It’s all love out here.” (09:17)
On producers he’s working with: “People that are unheard of, that have a lot of fire on their hands, man. Kids that are like 20, 21 years old, the fresh ones from the West Coast.” (10:35)
Paparazzi and Parenting
Kevin recalls being particularly unnerved by paparazzi after his baby was born:
“Everything is fine and dandy when you’re messing with me and my wife, but whenever you start playing around with my kid, I don’t like it.” (11:18)
Ordinary Life in the Spotlight
The hosts ask if he and Britney can do regular things:
“We do it just like a normal person would. But, I mean, just a lot goes with it, you know, it depends if… there’s 20, 30 paparazzi on you.” (16:29)
Desire for Normalcy
“You think about it every day… that’s the price that we pay for doing what we’re doing right now.” (17:40–17:50)
Attempts at Disguise
“I don’t think there’s no way of me putting a disguise on, but she [Britney] could. She gets away with it.” (18:01)
Early Days in Entertainment
“I started dancing when I was young, like, 13, in the streets, you know, break hip hop stuff… Moved to LA when I was 21.” (13:16)
Touring Credits
“I’ve danced for everybody from Destiny’s Child, Michael Jackson, Usher…” (13:56)
Favorite vs. Toughest Tours
“Tour with Pink… that was the best time… all of us were family.” (15:08)
“[On touring with LFO] Those dudes are crazy, man. They’re crazy. A lot of wild things happened with those guys.” (15:52)
"Mr. Britney Spears" Label
“It doesn’t matter to me. It’s hard to get to me, you know, like, they try every week and it doesn’t work.” (07:40–07:46)
Advice for Men (Phil’s Segment) Phil, a producer, asks for advice on attracting women:
“If you give one sentence of advice. Lay it on me.” (21:11)
Kevin: “Just snap. That’s it, man. You just snap. You just walk in and snap.” (21:21)
“I got this hotel room and I had these people go there and set it all up… every little petal was off of these roses… they created this huge heart in the middle of the bed… She loved it. She… was crying and all that good stuff…” (23:00–23:40)

“From here on out, it’s hits and that’s it. I’m only… dropping hits. I’ll make sure every song on the album is a hit.” — Kevin Federline (08:44)
Romantic moment for Britney:
“They created this huge heart in the middle of the bed that was about 2ft high… She loved it. She was crying and all that good stuff.” — Kevin Federline (23:00–23:40)
