Totally in a band.

No, it's too early.

[Trisha Yearwood]

[Mari]

I won't take over the show, though. I'll just, like, pop in at, like, the perfect moments.

[Taryn]

I'll fly in the dramatic part, and.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Then we'll just have security escort you off the stage.

[Taryn]

We'll pretend like we don't kindly.

[Mari]

[Trisha Yearwood]

Can you.

[Mari]

You get off with me?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Help.

[Taryn]

Help. Sos. Help. There's a crazy lady on stage with ribbons.

[Mari]

I was told to be here.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I think people should know that. This is what. When people say, oh, you have to sit in makeup for two hours, it's like, this is what you do.

[Taryn]

This is it.

[Trisha Yearwood]

These women make you beautiful, and you.

[Taryn]

Laugh your off and you talk about really weird.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Talk about really weird, and no one cares.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

It's like make believe. It's like pretend.

[Trisha Yearwood]

It's like getting to go to work with your favorite people.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

So it's. And it should be that way.

[Mari]

Yes.

[Taryn]

If you're lucky.

[Mari]

That's why we say we have the best job, like, and are so grateful when you find the right people that fit. There's nothing better. There's nothing better.

[Trisha Yearwood]

When I first saw the first Touch up podcast, I did not know that you were a makeup and hair person. I just thought I knew you were. Guys are really good friends, man. They're so in sync. They're so the same. And you fall in love with Taryn the minute you meet her because she's hilarious. And. And then when I found out that this is what you do also, I'm like, this is perfect. Yeah.

[Taryn]

Yeah. What. What were we saying the other day? I can't remember, but it was literally yesterday. And you were, like, talking about how somebody met me, and I was like, oh, yeah, you'll meet Mario. You'll love her. It's like, I'm like, another one. There's Two of us.

[Mari]

There's two of us.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Oh, was.

[Mari]

I met. I met friends at my pool at my condo. Yeah. And they're people that I've seen there for months or a year, but we really got to know each other because we were all swimming together yesterday. And I'm like, everyone at my unit is so lovely. They're so kind. We were just bom, bom, bom for hours.

[Trisha Yearwood]

That's nice.

[Mari]

And then, of course, I was like, also, swipe up for my QR code for my podcast, subscribe. And they were like, oh, you have a podcast? I go, well, that makes sense. They're like, you're so dynamic and, like, that's perfect for you. And I was like, well. And I was. And there's two of us. Like, there's another one. There's another one.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You should be doing stand up. I know all your friends are comedians. I know your boyfriend's a comedian.

[Ebony]

Never.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But I think you should totally do it.

[Mari]

Never.

[Trisha Yearwood]

No, I would never.

[Mari]

No.

[Trisha Yearwood]

People always say, how can you stand up?

[Taryn]

You're so funny.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But I would never do stand up. Stand up. Terrifying.

[Mari]

Terrible.

[Taryn]

Terrifying. Also a completely different thing.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right. And also, I think I'm really funny, but sometimes when I'm on stage talking, I'm like, stop talking. It's not funny. It's funny to you, but no one's getting it.

[Taryn]

No, I.

[Mari]

The front row is all just like.

[Taryn]

I've seen you on stage and you are very funny, but I think there's just like. I'm sorry, you want me to talk for one hour and make everyone chuckle the whole time?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

No, no, that's hard.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I think it's got to be really one of the hardest jobs as an entertainer, I would imagine.

[Mari]

But that would be really hard.

[Taryn]

Out of all the performing arts, do you think that might be the toughest? Maybe.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Maybe?

[Mari]

Well, because at least, like, when you're singing, you're. You have a guitar or you're, you know, you know what you're about to say. Just, maybe you're just up there. Although AJ has a set, so they do practice it, but still, it's just.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, but then you always got to come up with new stuff, right?

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You know, it's like, for me, people want to hear she's in love with the boy 10 million times, so I know I'm gon sing that every night, and I don't have to. I can put new stuff in there, but.

[Taryn]

Such a banger.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I mean. Yeah, just, you know, it's just a big song.

[Mari]

She's in love with a boy Tiny.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Little, big little, tiny little Diddy. It was my first single, and when it went to number one, I was like, this is not as hard as everybody says it is.

[Taryn]

Oh, what it, what it went to.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And then I was like, do it again. Oh, it's actually really hard. Then you work to not be a trivia question because you're like, who had whose first thing. I went to number one and then they were never heard from again. You know, then you have to, then you have to think about, you know, following it all up. Do not want to be a trivia question.

[Taryn]

Oh, man.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right. Yeah, that would be tough.

[Taryn]

That would be tough.

[Mari]

Hey, Trisha Yearwood.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yes.

[Mari]

I want to know about your story. Like, yeah, like, like baby Trisha. Like little young Trisha, Your journey to Nashville. Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Well, little Patricia was. Wanted to be Cher.

[Taryn]

Yes, Patricia.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Little Patricia was. Wanted to be Cher at five.

[Mari]

Whoa.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Totally. Was. Totally. And my, I had long hair and I would do the, you know, every, you know, and if my hair wasn't long enough, I would put on a long sleeve T shirt. This is a really cool trick for you at home. Put on a long sleeve T shirt and leave the, the, you know, take it. Make it like a. Huh. And then you have the long sleeves to be your hair. That's amazing. If you don't have the hair.

[Taryn]

I believe I've done it.

[Mari]

I feel, I believe I'm like, It's resident. It's coming back.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. So. So I was singing and I got a tape recorder from Santa Claus when I was like six. That's all I wanted so I could make my own tapes. And I. There's, there's recordings of me at 6 years old just singing and singing. So I, I was never a kid who said, I wonder what I want to do when I grow up. I knew and. But I was in a really small town of 2,000 people where nobody did in Georgia, Right? Yeah. Yeah. So either you led the church choir or you taught music, which were noble professions, but that's just not what I wanted to do. So I, I knew. And I just felt like at some point I got to a place where. When I was in high, I did all the talent shows in high school, and I would sing. You know, I'd sang. Everybody knew I was a singer. And everybody said, you're really good, but you're really good in a town of 2,000 people, so you don't know what's going to happen. And so when I moved to Nashville, I was 19 and I wild. And I was in college. I finished school at Belmont. That was my way to be in Nashville so I could live in the dorm. Okay. And I met songwriters at Belmont that were like, you sing on pitch and you show up on time. Would you come sing this demo? I just wrote this song we're going to pitch to Reba McIntyre, whatever it was. And I got into demo singing that way, and that was really. I did that really solid for several years. Made a really good living. I had a job as a receptionist at a record label. But I didn't tell anybody I sang because. And I want to keep my job.

[Mari]

Demo singing is. Explain that a little bit.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Demo singing is if. If you write a song and you want to pitch and you don't sing, but you want to pitch it to somebody, you'll. You'll hire band and a singer to come in and sing your song. And then a song plugger at a publishing company, they're the ones who are aggressively pitching your songs to try to get them recorded.

[Mari]

Got it.

[Taryn]

Demos before.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And. And I made a really good living doing that because if you're. Again, I was. I was cheap. I sang my own harmonies. I showed up on time. I sang on pitch. So I got a lot of work and. And that. And. But I wasn't aggressive. I wasn't a. Hey, I'm really good. Would you like to hear me? That was not me.

[Mari]

Your style.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. And a lot of everybody else was in Nashville. You know, everybody was like. Everybody at Belmont was like, they'd tell you how great they were. And most of them didn't even know I sang because I just wasn't that girl. But publishers are very aggressive because they're trying to get their songs cut.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And so my voice was being heard every day by producers and head of A R at labels.

[Taryn]

And I mean, she had crossover. Does she have a plan? Yeah, it looks like.

[Trisha Yearwood]

So finally they just started saying, I don't know about the song, but who's this girl? So they just kind of felt like they discovered something which is also good for them when they feel like they found something happy. And. And so it was about six years of living in town before I. I met. I actually met another demo singer named G. Brooks who was. Didn't have a record deal.

[Taryn]

Shut up.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, he and I met.

[Taryn]

He also was a demo singer.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yes, he and I met. That's how we met. We met in 19.

[Mari]

You're finding you guys are really good friends.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I know.

[Mari]

I knowing out.

[Trisha Yearwood]

No, we met in 1980. 8. A friend of ours, Kent Blasey, who wrote if Tomorrow Never Comes with Garth, was using me on demos and using Garth on demos. We didn't know each other, but we both knew Kent. And Kent had a little four track studio in his attic and I would go over there and sing for him and Garth would do the same separately. And Kent kept saying, you guys need to meet. I feel like you guys would really hit it off and use Trisha on your demos because Garth was writing songs and use her on your female demos. He's like, now I've already got people I use. And so just so Kent booked us on a session, a duet, and we met in the attic and we sang on the same mic and it was like we had been singing together our whole lives. It just clicked.

[Taryn]

And do you have that demo?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Oh, I would die to hear that.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I will play it for you. And, and so, so that was sort of the beginning of friendship. And, and then he had gotten, he had a record deal, but he hadn't, didn't have his first album out yet. And he said that day, I mean, you know Garth, you know how he is, he's like, you know, if I'm lucky enough to have any success, I hope, hope we can work together. And I'm like, that'd be great. Good luck to you. Like, I, you know, I, I didn't.

[Taryn]

Know may the Lord be with you.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And he was even like, I'm on Capitol if you want me introduce you to my guys at Capitol. I'm like, no, I really, I want to do this on my own. I don't want to be signed as a favor to somebody else because I just need to do this on my own. And so I, when I got my record deal at MCA a couple years after his albums were out and he was now, no fences had just come out, so friends in low places. And he, he said, let's go over to your label. And we went over to MCA together and my producer's name is Garth, different Garth, which is so confusing for people. And when the receptionist buzzed back to the head to Tony Brown, she said, Garth and Trisha are here. And they thought it was Garth Fundus, who's my producer. So like, send them back. So when I walked in with Garth Brooks and they were like, what is happening? Biggest artists in the, on the planet, you know. And he said, I'm getting ready to go on this tour and I'd love to offer her the opening slot on this tour. And she's in love with the boy Was a. Was a hit. Yeah. That was it. That was all I had.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And I opened for him in 91. That was my first. That was my first tour. Wow. So it was an incredible opportunity. It. It was baptism by fire because I did not. I grew up doing demos. I didn't grow up playing in clubs. I didn't have the experience of. Yeah, I didn't have that. He did. He was. He. He played in all the bars in Oklahoma and Texas, and I didn't have any of that.

[Mari]

Next thing you know, you're on a yes Stage.

[Trisha Yearwood]

So I'm. I'm a singing stick. Because I'm on the stage. I'm used to singing.

[Mari]

I'm used to being like, yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And I'm just like. And he was so generous. Most headliners, you know, cover their stage, hide their stage. You have, like, three feet to sing in, front of, which I was so grateful for. He's like, just use my whole stage. And I'm like, I don't.

[Taryn]

I don't know where to.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I don't know. I don't.

[Taryn]

Want me to kickball change all over the place.

[Trisha Yearwood]

What do you want me to do? So this was my. This was my choreography. It was my dance, and my. My die hards from 91 call this the Trisha D. You still do. I still do it. It was born out of a drummer who had a hard time with keeping time, which is kind of important if you're a drummer. Yeah. So I was like, here's where it is.

[Taryn]

I've invented it. I know.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But anyway, so that's. That kind of became my thing. But I'm a lot more comfortable on stage now. But it was a. Oh, yeah. And I got a chance to be in front of people I would never have gotten a chance to be in front of.

[Taryn]

That's crazy. What's crazy to me is that he was trying to help you before he even had anything to help you.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

But he's, like, the same. That still does that. He literally like, guys, just for. Like. Garth was like, oh, you want to learn how to play the drums? I'll get you a set. I was like, what? Like, he's just that.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Well, he's like, we got a set sitting at the barn. She's sitting there. Let's just. Let's just take it over to Tara. I'm like.

[Taryn]

And then I was like, yeah.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

For a week and a half.

[Mari]

[Taryn]

Can we talk about the Mirror?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Your new album, you've kind of been.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Around for so much of the writing process, and.

[Taryn]

Yeah, I know, and I want to dive into songwriting, too. But how do you feel? This album is different because you wrote on every single song on this album, but your previous albums, you haven't.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right.

[Taryn]

So how is it different, though, to you?

[Trisha Yearwood]

It's so weird to me. You know, I never felt like I needed to be a great songwriter, to be a great singer. I always felt like my heroes like Linda Ronstadt and Patsy Cline were known. I mean, Linda wrote a little bit, but they would take a song and make it there. So I always. That's what I always did. I never said, oh, you know, if Patsy Clun had written off all the pieces, it would have had so much more meaning. It would have sounded, you know, she. She made that song hers. So I always felt that. I never felt like I needed to be a writer, to be complete, or at least I didn't know it, you know? And so the songs in my career, like She's In Love With a Boy and the Song Remembers Win and Walk Away Joe and How Do I Live. I mean, those songs are mine now. They feel like I didn't write those songs, but I made them mine. And so I don't feel any like, oh, I wish I would have written all along, but I don't think there are any artists who didn't write at all. And then all of a sudden are writing the who. And it really feels different because I've always been nervous when I had an album coming out because it's. I don't know, there's an. You want everybody to like it, and there's this. You know, it's personal to you, and it's so personal. This feels more personal than ever. And yet I'm so not worried about it. I'm just like, this is what I've been doing. Maybe this is what I've been doing. And this is art, and it's like a painting, and maybe you'll love it, and maybe you won't love it. It might not be for you, but I'm good. I don't know. It's. It's so different in that way.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Mari]

Interesting.

[Taryn]

It feels. I've heard a lot of the songs. They're really good. I feel like everybody is gonna really like it. They feel very you.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Like, very, very you. Even though they're all very different, but you have a million sides to you, too, so. But it just feels like very Tricia Yearwood to me.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. Well, I will say that when I started writing, everybody that wrote with me, I think they knew before I did, you know, they. That I was writing for an album. I don't really think I thought that in the beginning, I was just like, this is therapy for me. Like, I'm writing songs to my younger self. And when writers would come in, they would always say, well, what do you want to write about? Because I think they. They. They knew somehow this is going to be a collection of Trisha songs. So what are her ideas? What does she want to write about? So I think that's probably why, because a lot of times you'll go into a writing session and somebody else will come with an idea because you're writing for. Maybe you're going to pitch a song to Reba McIntyre. You don't know what you know, but. But this felt more Tricia specific every time I wrote.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And so that's why I think every song just feels like there's a little. There's a. There's a piece of me in it. And really, a lot of songs, like the Mirror, that song in particular is. Is about us and how we are so hard on ourselves and how we pick apart every part of our bodies as women. And that if you. Because I remember seeing myself in a photograph somebody took of me from the back, and I was walking with Garth, and I. And my friend Mandy took the picture, and it was just. She just took this picture for me to have as, like, they're walking somewhere. And when I saw myself, I thought I looked good. Like. And that sounds really messed up, but, like, we have such body dysmorphia about what we actually look like. And when I saw it for a second, didn't realize it was me, I thought, when she looks really good. And then I was like, that's me. And so the idea of if we could see ourselves, if we could just. If you watch by a mirror, glance at yourself, you'd be like, she looks great. But we stand in front of that mirror and we pick ourselves apart. Yeah. And so this song is sort of about. I'm glad you're finally here, because I feel really comfortable in my own skin. I mean, I. We all have our issues, but I feel better than I've ever felt.

[Taryn]

Hell, yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And I just Feel like, I wish I could tell that young girl, you're gonna get there and it's gonna be cool. And that's what the Mirror is about.

[Taryn]

Yeah. Well.

[Mari]

And circling back to why you were not scared about putting this album and you feel so confident. It's because of that.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

Because of where you are in your life and feeling so. So incredibly empowered and strong and better than you ever have in your whole entire life.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

You're able to put something out and be so confident.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

Out being scared of how people are going to perceive it because you're like, well, that's. This is who I am. I look great. Like, you know, I'm so. I feel great. I'm happy. I'm this. And that comes with age and wisdom.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And. Yes.

[Mari]

We're such a privilege to get older because of all that, right?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yes. Yes. Because a lot of our friends don't make it this far.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And I think, too, it's like, I've always said this about music. You know, you don't have to always feel super confident to write a confident song and. But we want to hear a song that makes us feel that way and the same way. There's a song called Fearless these days, and it's kind of about owning the mistakes and going, all of those things made me who I am, and it's okay. It's fine.

[Mari]

Yeah. Yeah, those are mine.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I didn't know. I didn't know until I knew.

[Mari]

Yeah, exactly.

[Taryn]

I mean, I struggle with that. I think a lot of people in general, but I think a lot of women struggle with. With, like, forgiveness, like, self forgiveness.

[Mari]

No, it's important. It's very important. But I like that. Like, I didn't know until I knew.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

No, until I knew I didn't.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And as much as we can say that we're affected by culture and social media and all the things that we listen to, the voices we listen to, the one we listen to the most is this one.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And we can be really awful.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

To ourselves.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

So rude. It's like, I would never do that to you.

[Mari]

You're like, why are you saying that about yourself? You're my best friend.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Like.

[Mari]

Yeah. No, you are not. You are not Winnie the Pooh. Stop.

[Taryn]

I'm like, right now I have the body of somebody's uncle.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Hey, but did. Yeah, we talked about. Did you know that I've offered birth this child? Did you know that?

[Taryn]

Yes.

[Mari]

I'll, like, I'm not gonna be around the.

[Taryn]

Oh, yeah. Everyone, I'd like you to meet my doula. She's gonna sing the baby out.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Look, I've helped out with some calves that were born, and I feel like I can do it. I think I can do it. So funny.

[Taryn]

Look, thank you so much. You delivered to the Year One family for delivery.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I mean, I'm used to seeing a cow just kind of walk along and drop it and, like. Can you get that?

[Taryn]

So, I mean, I feel like you're.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Gonna have to do it that way for me to be involved.

[Taryn]

Okay, well, that's probably what's gonna happen. Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Let's hope it's that easy.

[Taryn]

What is your favorite lyric out of all the songs on the new album? And what is your favorite song and why?

[Trisha Yearwood]

That's tough. Yeah, that's a really tough one. That's a very tough one. I mean, I think there's a. There's a lyric in a song called the Wall or the Way over, which is a song about. Are you going to be the person that encourages her? Are you going to be the person that tells her the things that she's never going to forget? Like, you're not a songwriter, you know? And there's a lyric in there that says, careful what you say. Because words have a way of staying in the back of your mind. So it's like, words matter.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You know, and. And somebody can tell you something when you're 15 years old that doesn't mean anything to them, but you'll carry it with you your whole life.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And that's been another freeing thing for me at 60 to be like, yeah, somebody said that about me. That doesn't have to be the truth. I get to decide what's the truth about.

[Mari]

Amen. Yeah, Amen.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But Fearless these Days is probably my favorite song. That's tough. I'll say that today. Or like, I like Fearless these days. It's live because I see it in people's faces when I'm singing. That's the song about walking down the aisle and knowing that you should throw the flowers and run. But you went through with it, and. Which I did because my. You know, the church was full and the reception hall had the cake already, and I just did it, knowing I probably shouldn't have done it. No offense to him. It was, again, me. But the chorus of that song is, you don't know until you know that it's easier to be who you are than to try to be what you think everybody else wants you to be. And so when I sing that song live, I watch women, especially in the Crowd like nodding, crying, hugging the person they're next to. It's like. It's almost like permission to say, it's okay. It's the mistakes we made. It's okay. You didn't know. You didn't know better. Yeah.

[Taryn]

Yeah. We all did our best.

[Mari]

Yeah, we did our best.

[Taryn]

And also there are lessons that you have to learn or you don't grow and morph into this.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. I mean, everybody that says, I used to. I used to go, whatever. But I really believe it now is that the. It's not the wins that shape you. It's the losses. It's the things. That's the hard things you go through that make you who you are, and that's where you learn the lessons. You don't really learn the lessons in the success.

[Mari]

You don't.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

No. I embrace all of my darkness and sadness, and I know that when I'm there, I know that's for a reason. I'm like, this is happening to me. And every time I come out the other side, I come out with lessons learned and a little bit stronger.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. And our nature is to run from pain and suffering. We want to, you know, mask it with something. We also. We want to compartmentalize it. We want. I'm good at all those things, but.

[Taryn]

Because it's hard.

[Trisha Yearwood]

It's hard. What if you can live in it? If you can live in it and.

[Mari]

Understand that you do come out better and change and different and grown than.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You know, there's that whole Buddhist thing of impermanence. Like if you can look at life that is impermanent, meaning we're moving through it. So good and bad. It's moving through. It's not. You don't have to live in any of it. You don't have to live in the. You experience it, but you're moving through it. I try to kind of, you know, on a good day, that's how I feel. On a bad day, I can't get out of bed, but it's good.

[Mari]

I'm so glad it's a good day.

[Trisha Yearwood]

For you right now. But we all have those days. And that's the other thing, too. It's like everybody has a bad day. Everybody has a hard day.

[Taryn]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I told you guys in hair makeup that I lost it on my trainer last night. Night. And work out. Because I'm just not. And losing it was me just going, I'm really struggling. Excuse.

[Taryn]

Sorry.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I'm so sorry.

[Taryn]

I'm sorry.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I apologize profusely to her. Billy I'm apologizing to you now on a podcast, but really, it was. It. It normally would be fine, but last night I just was like, man, I'm just. This feels so hard. And I know it's supposed to be hard, but tonight is just too hard.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Mari]

You know, and it's okay. We're human beings.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

We all feel. We all have. It's important. It's important to say it, too.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I finished my workout. I had a cookie. Everything was better.

[Mari]

And you got your cookie.

[Taryn]

And you got a cookie.

[Trisha Yearwood]

She.

[Mari]

A cookie.

[Taryn]

I feel like that's kind of. No, that's you of my life right now. I cried.

[Mari]

She cries when she doesn't get cookies.

[Taryn]

Yeah. I cried. Did I tell you that? Oh, my God.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But I love it.

[Taryn]

Oh, my God. I, I. But I also was having one of those days where, like, people were just mistreating me, and I. I just couldn't understand why, you know, somebody, like, projected something onto me, and I was like, that's weird. And it was like, you shouldn't have said that to me. And then I had this whole thing with my dog trainer, and he lost it on me, and I was like, why. Why is everyone, like, losing their. On me because I'm pregnant and I don't know what I'll do.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right?

[Taryn]

And then I. I come home and I'm, like, laying in bed, and I'm. I'm telling AJ what's going on, and I'm like. And he was. He just, like, was really mean to me, and that was so weird. And I don't understand why people keep projecting up on me. And then I started crying, and he was like, oh, no. And I'm like, I think I'm just hungry. And it turns out I was just hungry. But, like, also, the worst thing you could do to a pregnant person is just, like, project your onto them.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Well, you're overly sensitive.

[Taryn]

You have to be, right?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right? I don't know.

[Taryn]

I've never been pregnant, but, yeah, I'm overly sensitive. Yeah, I'm. I'm overly all of the things. And even though I'm not really like, a cry emotional, like, type of person, like, it's. It's just like, you shouldn't project your on anybody anyway. But just like, a pregnant person is just like, you're a different kind of. Take your elsewhere, man. You're. You're yelling at a hungry person.

[Mari]

You're like, just bring me a good. Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

He laughed so hard at me. And then I laughed because I was like, I can't believe I'm sitting here crying about being hungry, but here we are.

[Trisha Yearwood]

That's the song idea.

[Mari]

Yeah. Get to it. The two of you. Oh, the three of us, actually, because.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. You're here and you have the Steven.

[Mari]

Tyler and I got this. If you weren't the incredibly successful country music star that you were, what would you be doing?

[Taryn]

Oh, yeah, that's a good question.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Prison. Like, I don't know. I mean, I will say that I didn't never, I had never had a backup plan. And because I went to college, I had a lot of people. Because I was a music business major, I had a lot of people ask me, oh, did you, would you, would you be in the music industry in the corporate part because you have this degree if you weren't a singer? And I, I've always said no, because I, I think watching people do what I want, wanted to do would be much harder. So I, I, I will say if I wasn't doing this, I'd probably not be in the music industry in any way.

[Mari]

Okay.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Because I think it'd be much too hard to be watching other people live my dream. Sure. You know?

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And, and again, going back to the five year old, like, I just, there was no backup.

[Mari]

It was always this.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

It was always, it was always country music.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. And I love the thing. I love to cook. I love my cooking show. I love, I love the furniture line. I love all the things that my toe is dipped in. But if you made me pick one, I would always pick music.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Oh, I love that.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I'm, I feel grateful because I know a lot of people who don't know their whole lives what they really want to do.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And I always, I've always known and I, I think it would be hard to not do it. And I think I would be doing it even if it was on a level of playing five nights a week at a bar. I think I'd be singing.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I just do.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

What I love is that you do have, like, your, what you're like, this is. I am, yes. Music. I am passionate about this. It's country music. It's what I do. It's who I am. But also you have these, like, other talents that you haven't been afraid to, like, explore. And I think a lot of people. And when I say a lot of people, me, like, you kind of get into this, like, I gotta stay in my lane.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Like, I do makeup and I do hair. We can't have a podcast. But then it's like, what Am I talking about, Like, I. I work with so many women that they go, yeah, I can do this, and I can also do this.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right. That's exactly right. And the lane is either a lane you created for yourself.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

It's not. Doesn't have to be real. Or if someone told you you should be in your lane, that's not. That's none of their business.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You know, that's.

[Taryn]

You.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You should. And I've never felt like there was something I couldn't do. Like maybe I couldn't be in the Olympics, but maybe I could. I could maybe pick something. I could maybe find something I could do. What?

[Mari]

Pole vaulting?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Underwater, baby Stacking? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what.

[Taryn]

They're the Snack Olympics. Yes, girl.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Sign me up. But I also was raised in a family. My mom and dad were very. I mean, they're very conservative. So I think sending me off to Nashville to be in the music industry was scary for them because. Because it wasn't a guaranteed job and a guaranteed paycheck and all the things that they knew, but they always also wanted me to be happy, so they always made us both feel. My sister and I both feel like we could do anything we wanted to do. And I think I just don't feel like. Yeah, I just don't. I'm not. I'm not ever. I'm out of my comfort zone a little bit. Like, the first time I was on a camera. On camera for the cooking show, I was standing behind the counter, and I had 15 things to remember, and I don't know how to do it. And I was. Was nervous, but I also wasn't like, I can't do it.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You know, I will say every. At the beginning of every season, I don't know how you guys feel when you do your podcast, because I know you bank them.

[Mari]

If you.

[Trisha Yearwood]

With the first day back, you're like, what are we doing? We don't. What were we thinking? We don't know what we're doing. That imposter syndrome thing, Like, I feel.

[Taryn]

Like we're still in there.

[Trisha Yearwood]

The first day of every now.

[Taryn]

I'm like, what am I doing?

[Mari]

I feel very confident. Speak for yourself.

[Taryn]

I look good.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You're making people laugh. You're informing them. You have a heart. Like, your podcast is very. The reason I wanted to be on it for a long time is that you're fun, but you also talk about life and real things, and you make people think and you in a good way you maybe feel good about themselves. Yeah. And you. And you bring a lot of different kind of people on your podcast, which is great.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

So it's. It's all good.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Mari]

Thank you.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

That's really is.

[Mari]

Thank you for saying that.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Because it's conversations that we have a lot. It's like, we talk about beauty, and we like to pretend and giggle. Yeah. And so we just get to do it with, like, somebody that we.

[Mari]

Yeah. And I do have no.

[Taryn]

Or don't know.

[Mari]

Or meaningful conversations. Yeah.

[Taryn]

Sometimes.

[Mari]

Well, yeah. But that's.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

It go. It fears off into a natural conversation that you would just.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I have a question for you girls. Yeah. Did you both know when you were young that you were great at doing what you do or good. Did you do your own hair makeup when you were a kid and you knew you were good at it?

[Taryn]

I always knew at a young age that that's what I, I, I think I was 13 when I started, like, really dabbling in glam. And we both kind of started the same way, where we got this one book. It's a Kevin Aucoin.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

Another book, Making Faces.

[Taryn]

Making Faces. He had a couple of them, but one of them, I was gifted, and I was like, I want to do what he does.

[Trisha Yearwood]

That's cool.

[Taryn]

And I had a little sister who was much younger than me, and I still have her. She didn't die, and she's alive and well.

[Trisha Yearwood]

She's still your little sister.

[Taryn]

Yeah, she's still my little sister. But I was. Would play dress up. I would do, like, her makeup for pageants. I would do everyone's makeup for theater because I was in theater. It was either, you know what's funny? It was either Beauty or Saturday Night Live.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right.

[Taryn]

For me.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Which you can. You guys could do both.

[Mari]

Yeah. Right.

[Taryn]

So when, like, I kind of veered off of doing, like, acting and theater and stuff like that, and I just, like, really went down, like, the glam road. It was like, well, I got. Guess that's over with. But, like, now that we're doing this podcast, I get, like, an outlet to just be fun and funny and not care. And I'm at the age where I don't care if you think I'm funny or not.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I think I'm fine. Right. You are funny.

[Mari]

You're both kind of like, I feel confident. I feel fine. This is for me. Like, you don't have to love me. Love, love me. But I love. I love me.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

So, yeah, that's enough, you know?

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Mari]

And for Me too. I. When I was younger, I always, you know, we were teenagers. I mean, you're so wildly insecure in figuring out who you are. So for me, the power of makeup is so special because it helped me feel more confident as a little girl. And that's why I started wearing it. Even though it was incorrect, even though I was orange, even though I had no eyebrows and brown lip liner and concealer lips.

[Taryn]

I stand by that. I stand by brown.

[Mari]

Made me me feel beautiful. And that's, I think, was a big part of why I got into what. And I was naturally just good at it. So transforming women, you know, like I'm. The way that I was transforming myself was just. It was meant so much to me.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, I get that. Because, I mean, I feel like a different person in makeup or not in makeup, it's. It transforms. Like, it's like wearing heels.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Like when I'm doing a photo shoot, even. Even if they're not gonna see my feet, I wear heels. You carry yourself differently.

[Mari]

Yeah, totally.

[Taryn]

100.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

And it doesn' be so much like we. You're very minimal like, but just enough to take what you already have and just bring it to life. Accentuate it. There's so much power. Power and makeup.

[Taryn]

Speaking of glam, though, can we talk about some of your favorite, like, looks on carpets and album covers and things that you've done?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Well, the first, in the very first album cover, I'm, I'm, you know, 26 years old. I'm standing there in a denim shirt. I did my own press on nails.

[Taryn]

Is that the one we were looking at the other day with the curly hair?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, yeah, super curly hair. Because it was 1991 and Pretty Woman had just come out and I wanted to be Julia Roberts. I wanted that hair and my hair was straight and so. Yeah.

[Mari]

Did they go, did you get a perm?

[Trisha Yearwood]

No, I didn't. I've. I had plenty of perms in my life, but I didn't at the time. But they just curled it that day for the photo shoot and it was so tight that I look like Shirley Temple in so many of the pictures that.

[Mari]

That used this iron.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yes.

[Mari]

On you that.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And that. That photo. That was the album cover was the last photo of the day where my hair had relaxed and it was still so curly. I. And I. I had done my thumbnail, which I just didn't realize his. This one's chipped. I had. It was kind of wonky and kind of thick because I put them on myself. And I. I call that album cover the Claw, because I can see my hands just holding this shirt and this big thumbnail. And then. And also I had not worn any makeup, and so there was a. My makeup was heavy for that shit shoot, and we had to go in. This was, again, 90s. The computers knew, and they went in and had to lighten up the makeup on the photo. And then when I would sign autographs after shows, girls, young girls would come up to me, and they were like, oh, you're so much younger than I thought you were from just the photo, you know? And so I felt like I learned a lot about that. And then you go through a period of a lot of glam. And now that I'm older, less glam looks better. Yeah, but I still love 90s glam. Glam, yeah. I love a 90s. I'll never be sad about 90s.

[Mari]

Same.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Never same.

[Mari]

I mean, everybody looked great. And then, like, Mariah, you know, like, when you see her, like, videos of her.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

You. Anybody. Anybody in the 90s, thin eyebrows just worked.

[Trisha Yearwood]

They just did.

[Taryn]

Really.

[Mari]

The hair was dope.

[Taryn]

The hair was dope.

[Mari]

The eyes were always really beautiful.

[Taryn]

The face framing layers.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Even though I know she wasn't, like, an artist, but, like, Like.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But yeah, it was all that.

[Taryn]

It was all that beautiful.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Really, really pretty.

[Taryn]

Like, bell bottoms, like, just the fashion, like, sewed up, but it's kind of back around.

[Trisha Yearwood]

It's kind of coming back around.

[Taryn]

Oh, it's kind of like.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But I used. My lip color was faux from.

[Taryn]

Yes.

[Trisha Yearwood]

That was my. That's my lip of choice.

[Mari]

Wait, is that light?

[Trisha Yearwood]

There's a little mauvy pink. Mauvy pink?

[Mari]

Yeah. Mine's velvet teddy.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Ah.

[Mari]

If you remember. If you know. You know.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, yeah. And I. I oak. I lined the lips, and then I learned to color in the lip as well so that I didn't just have the line around the outside, but I just don't. It's just not my gift. I can do my own makeup to not look terrible, like, if I'm doing, like, a zoom or something. But I. I don't. I can't do all this.

[Mari]

I think we should do. Still do A video of you doing Taryn's makeup.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Oh, for sure. Absolutely happening. Yeah, I did. I haven't posted it yet, but I did a time lapse video of me taking your makeup and the hair out and the makeup off after the photo shoot. Did you.

[Taryn]

Were you cr.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And we're going to have to fast forward it because there's so much hair. There was so much hair. There's so much hair today. But I'm just taking the hair out. And I had the iPhone, like, sitting on my vanity. I'm not. I'm not a professional. And when I look back at it, it's like, there's all this chin. There's all this. I'm like, I'll probably still post it, but I'm like, I could have, couldn't I just put the camera.

[Mari]

Camera a little higher.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But I think it's kind of fun because everybody does the show. Get ready with me.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But I think I'm funny. Like, take the day off with me. The show.

[Mari]

Like, take the day off with me. Get ready. Don't get ready with me. Yeah, take the day off.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I'm. I think we should do that too.

[Mari]

That's cute.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Yeah. You could do my makeup because I would die for.

[Mari]

How do you think you would do? Seriously?

[Trisha Yearwood]

I mean, terrible. I won't.

[Taryn]

I don't think it would be terrible.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I don't know how it's gonna go, but I'm excited about trying it. I've done. I did makeup on a friend of mine's daughter for a prom years ago, but she was really young, like 12. She was going to, like, her school thing.

[Taryn]

Oh, yeah. You just go, right? And you're.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And so. But putting. It's like doing somebody else's nails. Like, it's hard to do these things on someone else when you never do that.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

For you guys, it's probably not hard.

[Taryn]

But I'm sure my lashes would be little tricky above my.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I think you're. I think my lashes for you will be above your lashes. Yeah.

[Taryn]

I think when you do my makeup, I think when we look, you'll definitely see my eyelid where my lash line and the strip lashes are.

[Trisha Yearwood]

What if I'm so good that I start my own company? Oh.

[Mari]

And then we're like, oh, my God. She can literally do everything.

[Taryn]

How annoying.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And she can't jack a box.

[Taryn]

Right.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Because I tell you, I go home and I study what you guys do at the end of a day. I really do. And I'm like, I. It just looks so Good. And it looks so blended and so great, and I don't. I don't know why it's so hard for me, but I can't do it. I mean, it's why you are gifted and why you have a job and why you do it, too.

[Taryn]

Like, I couldn't write.

[Mari]

It's kind of like how you go on stage and perform and say with your beautiful voice.

[Taryn]

No amount of money.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

No amount of money could I even just.

[Trisha Yearwood]

You're on stage right now.

[Mari]

That's what's the difference.

[Taryn]

There's no one here, though.

[Mari]

There's 20,000 people. People that swiped up for our QR code last night.

[Trisha Yearwood]

They are.

[Mari]

They're out there.

[Trisha Yearwood]

They're all watching out there.

[Taryn]

But I. It's like, I don't know that they're here, so that's.

[Mari]

Well, I forgot until I just said it, too. So now I'm not as confident as I was before.

[Taryn]

Oh, God.

[Mari]

Oh, God.

[Taryn]

Oh. This is a good question. Tell us your favorite moment in your career.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Oh. I mean.

[Taryn]

Or the funniest.

[Mari]

Oh, oh, oh, wait, a switch.

[Taryn]

Sometimes it's hard to, like, on the spot. I have a hard time. I'm like, oh, man, my brain isn't working. I don't remember anything.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I will tell. Well, there have been a lot of really amazing moments. I'll tell you one that came to mind when you said that. Okay. Was because when you're a kid and you have the list of things. I want to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry. I want to sing. You know, I want to go to the Grammys. I wanted all these things. Something that was not on the list that I got asked to do was to sing in Italy with Pavarotti. Oh. And it was in the late 90s, so I had really good makeup and hair. And I went over to Italy because he did a. He used to do a benefit concert for Children of War every year. It was a really big deal. And I got asked to go, and it was me and, like, the Spice Girls and Vanessa Williams and Stevie Wonder, and. I mean, it was like this. Celine Dion. It was like this. And me and Jon Bon Jovi and me. And I'm the. I'm the country girl. And of course, Pavarotti speaks Italian. I speak English. We sang in Latin and English, but we sang in Latin and English. I had to just learn the song. And it was. The reason I say it was special was it was the moment that I remember. I remember that in my early career, things were going so fast. I Felt like I was kind of holding on like a. To Runaway Train because I didn't think my first single would go to number one. That doesn't happen. So I thought I'd have time to prepare, which turns out I did not.

[Mari]

You just went.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And that concert was the moment that I was like, you need to be in this moment. If you. If you're. If you're not, you'll. You'll be able to see it, but it's like you'll be watching a movie. But if you. If you. If the pinch me thing, if you really ground yourself in this moment, my friend Mandy says, be where your feet are. If you're really in that moment, then you will be able to take yourself back to that moment. And that was the moment. I learned that, and I've done it ever since. So when I think about singing with Pavarotti, I'm not just seeing it as a movie. I'm standing in the spot.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And he's standing right there and we're singing together. So that was a big one for me because it was a. It was a. Was a learn. A learned thing of like, you got to be in the moment.

[Mari]

Be in the moment. Be where your feet are.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Mari]

Beautiful.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And one of the funniest things that.

[Mari]

Ever happened on stage is Paparati, the one who sings. Am I saying that right?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Pavarotti.

[Taryn]

That's Andre Bocelli.

[Trisha Yearwood]

No. Well, they probably both sang it.

[Taryn]

There's like. That's a skittle.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I also love Bocelli. I also love him, too. That's it. I remember that.

[Mari]

Okay.

[Taryn]

The puppet, the girl with the sock.

[Trisha Yearwood]

One of the funniest things that happened to me on stage was I was. It was. I was playing in Arizona. I was opening for Guards. So it was 91, and I was. It was 115 degrees. And so I had very limited wardrobe, but I had this white lace skirt and this white top and these high heels, skinny granny boots everybody was wearing in the early 90s. And that was going to be my wardrobe. And when I went out on stage to sing, it was so hot. I got my boot stuck in my skirt and my skirt went down in the back, and I had the microphone in my hand. And this is 91. I'm not really cussing in public yet now. I only cuss in public. But.

[Taryn]

But, but in that moment on the.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Mic, I just said. And. And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm 26. And I just said, sh. Microphone. And there were a couple of fans in the Front row that have come to a lot of shows. And every time I see them, even if I. If I saw them today, I was there that night. You said on the microphone, like, they had no idea. That was the beginning. And I'm like, this feels so good. I'm going to do it again. You were just like, you know what? There is a lyric in this new record that says bull. And we actually, actually had to. We. We kind of ghosted it in the performance because if. If I left it in, I had to put an explicit label on my record.

[Taryn]

Just for one. Yeah, just for one.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yes. One will get you an explicit sticker.

[Taryn]

Wow.

[Trisha Yearwood]

So I didn't want to do that because I'm like, I don't wanna. No, I don't. I don't want. I don't want to have.

[Mari]

For one word.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. I might as well not say the word. So I just sang.

[Taryn]

That's actually a really, like, a funny way to cuss is to just like. What the.

[Mari]

Oh, cute. Yeah.

[Taryn]

Dumb mother.

[Mari]

Shut the up. Yeah, that's some.

[Taryn]

Oh, don't be a.

[Mari]

Don't be a. I have a friend.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Who says like a. I have a friend who says is instead of.

[Taryn]

Well, yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

People say that's an is.

[Taryn]

Yeah. I know somebody that says vegetables instead of like, vegetables. Don't be a dumb tomate. Like, they say like vegetables in Spanish.

[Trisha Yearwood]

That's funny.

[Taryn]

No. Yeah. He's being a silly avocate.

[Mari]

What a super asparagine.

[Taryn]

That's that. I like that.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Okay. Cussing with vegetables sounds fun.

[Taryn]

Yeah, I know. Vegetables are funny. I know. I. I only know two. I guess in Spanish I should probably know more, but.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, you can get to work on that in your span.

[Mari]

Yeah. You've got a lot of downtime.

[Taryn]

I know.

[Trisha Yearwood]

In.

[Taryn]

In all the down times.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And you should teach your new baby how to cuss and vegetables.

[Mari]

Yes, obviously. I think that's very important. Important before, like Mama and Dada. Like, he needs to know how to curse.

[Taryn]

And actually we've talked about. I would love for him to be bilingual.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah.

[Taryn]

Because how am I not? I mean, I'm from California. How do I not.

[Mari]

I say that all the time.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right.

[Taryn]

It's kind of like embarrassing that I'm not fluid in Spanish.

[Trisha Yearwood]

It's sort of embarrassing that most of America.

[Mari]

I know. We should.

[Trisha Yearwood]

As one language. We should all know more than one language.

[Taryn]

100.

[Mari]

I always feel so stupid.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I know.

[Mari]

People don't anything.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I know.

[Mari]

I'm like.

[Taryn]

So easy to forget. Get.

[Mari]

Yeah. I didn't pay Attention.

[Taryn]

Absolutely.

[Trisha Yearwood]

What school? I took attention.

[Taryn]

Yeah. Do you know anything?

[Trisha Yearwood]

No. My name was. No, no, your name was. I know the first line of the French national anthem.

[Mari]

Go ahead.

[Trisha Yearwood]

That's all. Cute. And I can say we. We.

[Mari]

And you are? Patricia. Patricia Patric.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I can't remember what it was.

[Mari]

Is this your name? It's the French.

[Taryn]

She actually doesn't really exist.

[Mari]

We wanted people to take us a little bit more seriously and not just think we were like Carrot Top.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, people were taking us seriously.

[Taryn]

I actually don't know if people take us serious or not.

[Mari]

And we don't care.

[Taryn]

I'm not sure.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I think it's both. I think people take you seriously when you're talking about something serious. But people also like to laugh.

[Mari]

Sure, sure.

[Trisha Yearwood]

But I do love to be in complete wardrobe for something that doesn't make sense and walk into, like, you know, 7 11.

[Taryn]

Yes.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And have somebody go, are you going to a party? Like, no.

[Mari]

What are you about? Talking.

[Taryn]

Talking about.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, what are you talking. I did this mud run one time with my friends, and it was one of those ones where they give you, like, a turkey leg and a beer at the end, and you have to crawl under barbed wire. It's like one of those kind of crazy thing. I don't. Years ago, but for it, I decided to paint my face like Braveheart. So I had a blue face.

[Taryn]

Nice.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And all my friends, we all did. We painted our faces blue, and we had these Viking hats that they gave us. And so after we did the mud run after, and I'm. I'm crawling under barbed wire and Marines are passing me. And I'm like, what the hell? Yeah, I never need to do that. No jumping over fire or whatever. And so we were very hungry afterwards because I did not want to eat the turkey leg and drink the beer. So. So we went to McDonald's, and I'm like, okay, everybody, we're gonna go in. And no one break character. If someone asks you. If someone laughs or says, what are you doing? Just go, what? And so we did. We all went in in our blue faces, and we were all soaking wet. Cause we'd been in water. We had to crawl through ditches. And I was crazy. Oh, my God. And people were like, what do you. What you guys been doing? And I'm like, what do you mean? I just. Like, a Happy Meal, please.

[Taryn]

Oh, yeah, it's Tuesday. We're just hungry.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, we're just. I'm just hungry. If you just make my burger, that'd be great.

[Mari]

McFlurry too, please.

[Taryn]

Yeah, I would like Super Size Me, please. Super Size Me.

[Trisha Yearwood]

So we should.

[Taryn]

Please.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I think we would be really good at that together.

[Mari]

Oh, we could keep a hard.

[Taryn]

Oh, yeah. I do want to dive into beauty really quickly.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yes.

[Taryn]

I know what products I use on you, but at home, I think because you are Benjamin Button and you are just so hot and you keep getting hotter. I think that people would like to know. Know what your skin routine is and what products you really love.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Well, in my 20s, my skin routine was going to sleep on my makeup and you know, waking up not being able to open your eyes.

[Taryn]

Yeah. I think we're all guilty.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, I did that a lot. And I always used soap and water to wash my face. I never, I never, I never did the, I tried at some point to do like the six or seven thing, you know, routine, but I just never. A lot. It's a lot. And to do it all the time.

[Taryn]

Yeah. And I also don't think it's necessary. I don't think it is for everyone.

[Trisha Yearwood]

For everybody. And I, I did come to a place in my life where I went to the dermatologist and said, okay, I'm ready to spend all the money on the anti aging stuff. Like, what is that? And I do, I, I get Botox about once every two years. So I'm not really good at like, so I need it. I probably. But I, When I'm in there for my yearly checkup, I'll be like, hey, can you throw a little bit up in, up here? And to try to like, kind of lift because I have one eye that's a little droopy. I haven't done anything yet. Like, I don't know. That's another conversation. Like I go through that of like, do I want to. Yeah. You know, ever do anything, but I want to look like me. So I'm really weird about not wanting to like me. So I honestly wash my face when I'm in the shower with Dove soap and I. Or Ivory. And then I, I do have a Zeo scrub that I'll use on my face and I love Zeo and that's from dermatologist. And then when I get out of the shower, I use a witch hazel pad on my face. And then I chase a witch hazel pad and just like instead of a cleanser pad or whatever, and then I use some kind of moisturizer and it's usually right now it's Zo Daily Defense. That's what I had on when I got here today. And that's it. And if I'm feeling crazy, I'll use a night cream, you know. But I don't get. I don't get crazy.

[Taryn]

That's like winter.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. And I. Yeah. And I just. But I've always. I moisturize. I don't like to. I never get out of the shower. Not lotion. I. I moisturize my whole body. Cuz I just want to feel good and I've always done that.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And I, I drink a lot of water. I sleep. I sleep, you know, so. Right. And you know what people ask me? How do you keep your voice healthy? It's like if you keep your body healthy, your voice stays healthy because it's a muscle. So.

[Taryn]

Yeah. You, you've never.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I don't really get. I've lost it before, but it's rare.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Knock on.

[Taryn]

She came to my baby shower, and we had a little station where we at. Asked people to draw what they thought my son would look like because it's hilarious. Mari came up with the idea. Lo and behold.

Unless you could be a dinosaur.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I feel like I do. Yeah. I feel like it's taken me a while, but I feel like I do.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And more and more every day.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And that's the beauty. The thing about getting older, there's all these other things that happen. You start to get wrinkles sometimes your knee hurts in the morning, and you have no idea why. But there's a. There's a comfort of. In yourself that if you're lucky to get to. That just gets better and better. And so I would not go back for a million years to. I would. When I see pictures of me at 30, I'm like, oh, she doesn't have a wrinkle on her face. But I didn't like how I looked. I didn't. I mean, all the things. But the. The. Just the comfort, the freedom, the. It's fine. Everything feels fine.

[Mari]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

The knowing you're gonna be okay no matter what. Matter what. It kind of comes with age.

[Taryn]

Yeah, I. It. I. I agree.

[Mari]

Everything.

[Taryn]

Everything's okay. Yeah. Everything's gonna be okay. It's gonna work out better than you ever even imagine.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And it's hard to. You know, I'm a controlling person. I'm a Virgo. I like to know every detail. I like to know what's going on, but all I do is stress out, and then it works out anyway. However it's gonna work out, you're just.

[Taryn]

Exerting all this energy for what.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah. So I spend a lot of time now going, it's gonna be okay. It may not turn out the way you want it to turn out, but you're gonna be. You're gonna be fine. Yeah. And I live by that mostly. I mean, I have my days, but when I yell at my trainer. But I mostly, mostly live by that baby.

[Taryn]

Freakouts are cute.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Just a tiny baby.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I'm so sorry. And then I apologize a thousand times. I'm going to call her one more. I might.

[Taryn]

[Trisha Yearwood]

Oh, my gosh.

[Taryn]

Thank you for having me, guys. We have a lot of fun things coming out. Not just an album, lots of fun things. Follow her on Instagram if you don't already, if you're living under a rock. Trisha Yearwood. And now she's on Tik Tok.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yes.

[Taryn]

Do you know how to use it?

[Trisha Yearwood]

Oh, yeah.

[Mari]

Oh, yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I mean, I, of course you do. I posted my first. I did the thing. There's a. We have one on there for Girls Night in, where there's the thing over your head and it scrolls and then it picks what you're going to bring for Girls Night in. And I had to do that one myself and post it and I was so terrified. It was my first actual post that I did and I was like, what if I, if I, what if I had not. What if I posted. I wasn't ready to post it? What if I, what if that's not the one I want to post? But it all went fine. Yeah.

[Mari]

No, it's impressive that you know how to use it, though.

[Trisha Yearwood]

It's not amazing. I, I, I will tell you that TikTok for me is a guilty pleasure. And so when I'm running my dogs, if I'm hiking the dogs, I don't. But if I'm running them and I'm driving and they're running and they run off, I'll get on Tik Tok. And that's my 30 minutes of watching. Tick tock.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And I yesterday discovered glass vegetables. Asmr.

[Snax]

Go ahead.

[Taryn]

Okay.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I, I've now.

[Mari]

We thought we were done here.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I'm now this person. I'm sorry, I'm now this person. And I watched for 10 minutes different people with a knife slicing into glass vegetables. And the sound. And then you will see like a, you'll see like a watermelon and then the glass falls away and there's. I can't even talk.

[Mari]

I don't even understand why visually see this because.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, you do. I don't understand why it has an effect on me.

[Taryn]

It's not real.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right. It's AI.

[Taryn]

But it sounds so soothing. It looks gorgeous. It's wild.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And I don't think I understood. Is it called asmr?

[Taryn]

Asmr.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Until yesterday. I don't think I got it until yesterday.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Trisha Yearwood]

And now I get it.

[Taryn]

Yeah. I follow this one girl, or either I follow her or she just comes up on my feed, but it's the her. Tik Tok. Videos are this close, and there. There's, like, candy here, and she. She just eats candy. And that's it.

[Trisha Yearwood]

What is. What are we doing? I don't know what is happening.

[Mari]

And in my algorithm, I have a girl that keeps popping up, who's British, who just walks into a room in, like, tiny little lingerie with clinky little shoes and oiled legs and just says things like, didn't see me coming, did you? But it's just the sound.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Do we wonder about your algorithm clinking.

[Mari]

And, like, the leather and her, like, thick thighs with the oil.

[Taryn]

Yeah.

[Mari]

I can't stop.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I can't believe you're here.

[Taryn]

I. I don't know.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I don't know how you had a.

[Taryn]

We're busy. Super busy.

[Trisha Yearwood]

I got to go. We're super busy. But we have time. We have time.

[Taryn]

I know, it's weird. That is. The lesson for today is Tik Tok is addicting, so be careful.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Yeah, really, you do need to be careful.

[Taryn]

Buy the album and be careful.

[Trisha Yearwood]

Right, but we're on Tik Tok.
