How did Halle Bailey find her confidence in her career?
You got to sing a little bit for me.
Oh my goodness. Well, if you ask, I will. I guess, where should I start? Maybe the verse. So it goes.
Sometimes the simplest words are the hardest to say. And I know we're speaking the same language, but I need someone to translate. Because I'm scared of losing you and losing me too. I pray all these changes don't change us. I need you.
This episode is brought to you by Therafluid. Hello. Craig, I haven't seen you in a minute.
I know. We've been, you've been really busy.
Yeah. Because the book is out. I've been touring the book. I was trying to think, why have I been so busy? But yeah, I've been a little busy.
You've been a little busy.
How are you doing? Are you taking care of your health?
I am. You know, I just, I took a later flight because I had a physical yesterday, my yearly physical.
Everything good?
Everything is great. And you know, I thought I hurt my knee.
And you're just old.
Oh, I'm just getting old. I came down the stairs wrong and I thought I was. It blew out my knee. It was so sore. And I've been putting off going to see the doctor. And I went in and he said, you got to lay down. And when he said that, I was like, oh man, he's going to yank this thing around and I'm going to be in pain. But he yanked it around and everything was fine. He sent me to get an x-ray.
No problem. Just old man stuff.
Just old man arthritis.
Are you keeping up with working out? Are you eating properly?
Yes, eating properly. Working out now that it's cold back at home for me, it's a lot of indoor working out. But I'm doing a lot more coaching, a lot more standing. So Aaron's with me on this trip.
He's our number one intern. Although, Aaron, you're just sitting over there. I want to see you with a pad and paper or something. Take notes. There you go. There you go. He's our number one intern.
Yeah. Well, you know.
Can't wait for the summer. Maybe we can get him a full summer internship.
I know. I know. He's really, but he's a great travel companion.
Yeah.
You know, we had some trials and tribulations and he just went with the flow. And now I've got a partner in crime when I'm staying at my Airbnb. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Now you can use the other room when you're in a house with eight rooms.
Yes, yes. But we decided to get something closer.
What transformative experiences did Halle share about motherhood?
So you're in a city home.
So we're in a city home.
On a neighborhood block.
It's sort of a neighborhood block. It's in the hills a little bit, but houses are right next to each other and they're not as big and very practical. So it's really nice to be able to walk around the neighborhood and Have you walked around? Oh, you just got here. We just got here. But in this nice weather, we are planning to walk around.
Well, that's good.
Yeah.
Airbnb always takes care of business.
I'm excited today, boy.
We've got... I feel like she's truly one of my children because we met them early on in their career, Chloe and Hallie. But I'm so excited to have her on. Why don't you do a proper introduction?
I am because, you know, she's a listener to IMO. So she's very excited to be here. And I'm very excited to do a proper introduction. And Hallie is a Grammy-nominated singer and rising film star. who first broke out as one half of the group that you talked about, Chloe and Halle, before launching a critically acclaimed solo career with songs like Angel and Back and Forth. She stunned global audiences as Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid. This year, Halle will star in Universal's romantic comedy, You, Me, and Tuscany, arriving April 10th, which I am.
Doing romance?
Oh, child. Grown folks romance. Grown folks romance.
I got to hear about that. You kissing somebody?
Regé-Jean-Paul is in that movie.
Oh, you're kissing him? Okay, we're going to hear all about that. Let's bring out Halle and stop teasing her. Come on out.
Tell me who I am.
So nice to see you. Thank you for being our home.
Hi.
How's it going? It's going good. I'm so happy to see you again. I am so happy. Do you remember our first meeting? Because you've done so much since that.
What did it feel like? How could I not remember that?
