WE'RE HERE WITH LAKEITH STANFIELD AND RYAN
TEDDER, WE LOVE ONE REPUBLIC WEST COAST, THE SONG TOOK YOU
FIVE YEARS TO FINISH. >> YEAH.
>> James: WHICH HAVING NEVER WRITTEN A SONG I DON'T KNOW BUT
IT DOES FEEL LIKE A LONG TIME TO WRITE A SONG, IS THAT TYPICAL,
WHY FIVE YEARS. >> IT'S NOT TYPICAL.
WHAT HAPPENED IS I HAD THE CHORUS FIVE YEARS AGO AND I
DIDN'T HAVE THE VERSE TO IT, WHICH HAPPENS A LOT OF TIMES.
I APOLOGIZE, HI THE CHORUS IN TEN SECONDS AND THE VERSE TOOK
SIX MONTHS BUT WITH WEST COAST, I HAD IT, WE PLAYED IT, SOME
PEOPLE, THE RECORD LABEL, AND SOMEBODY WAS LIKE THIS SONG IS
INCREDIBLE BUT I DON'T THINK I SOUNDS LIKE YOU GUYS. AND I GOT
SUPERINSECURE BECAUSE THAT ONE PERSON SAID THAT ONE THING, AND
I SHELFED IT AND WAS LIKE I'M NOT GOING TO RETURN TO THIS FOR
AWHILE.
AND EVENTUALLY IT CIRCLED BACK AROUND AND POPPED UP JUST ON A
DEMO REAL AND I LISTENED TO THE CHORUS AND I WAS LIKE THIS MIGHT
BE MY FAVORITE THING WE HAVE DONE IN FIVE YEARS, I WILL
FINISH IT. >> James: AND THEN YOU ARE
GOING TO GO OUT BE THE ROAD, THE NEVER ENDING SUMMER TOUR, WHAT
ARE SOME OF YOUR MUST-HAVES WHEN YOU ARE ON THE TOUR?
WHAT ARE THE HOME COMFORTS THAT YOU NEED?
>> CANNED E8D-- CANDLES, SOLID WI-FI AND I TRAVEL WITH-- HE
KNOWS. I TRAVEL WITH A 1963 AIR STREAM
THAT I TURNED INTO A RECORDING STUDIO.
>> James: THE ONE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.
YOU TAKE THAT ON THE TOUR. >> I TAKE THAT ON TOUR, SO I DID
SPEAKING OF ADELE, ADELE, U2-RBGS WORKED ON ED SHEERAN
STUFF IN THERE, ONE REPUBLIC STUFF IN THERE.
SO BE O THE ROAD I GO CRAZY, I HATE VENUES.
I HATE SITTING IN ARENAS OR SHEDS OR THEATERS, THEY STRESS
ME OUT, I GET CRAZY ANXIETY SO I HAVE TO HAVE A PLACE TO GO, AND
WORK AND STAY BUSY, WHEN I WAS A KID MY SOME SAID A IDLE MINE STD
DEVIL'S WORKSHOP, SO I WORKED ON SONGS THROUGHOUT TOURS TO KEEP
MY SANITY. >> THAT WOULD BE PRINTING BIT
COYNE, AS YOU KNOW. >> LAKEITH ONE OF 9 GREAT THINGS
ABOUT BEING AN ACTOR, YOU GET TO GO IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS AND
LEARN NEW SKILLS AND YOU HAD TO LEARN TO RIDE A HORSE FOR THE
HARDER THEY FALL. YOU SAID IT WAS A LIFE CHANGING
EXPERIENCE FOR YOU, WHY, IN WHAT WAY.
>> THE HORSE IS A BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL CREATURES THAT REQUIRE
YOU TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MEET THEM HALFWAY.
AND I WENT IN A STATE OF MIND AT THE TIME GOING IN WHERE I NEEDED
THAT EXTRA PUSH. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE I WAS GO FOG
GET IT AND I JUMPED UP ON THE HORSE AND I HAD RESERVATIONS AND
THE HORSE HAD RESERVATIONS AND IT BUCKED ME OFF. AND I FELL
DOWN AND THEY WERE LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET BACK ON, I WAS
LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN, OF COURSE I'M GETTING ON.
I REALIZE HAVE I TO TAKE CONTROL.
I'M SO CONNECTED TO THE BEING I DON'T WANT TO TAKE CONTROL TOO
MUCH BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HURT IT BUT HAVE I TO DO IT THE
RIGHT WAY, I DO THAT, AND BEFORE YOU KNOW T WITHIN A COUPLE OF
WEEKS I'M ACTUALLY RIDING A HORSE AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M
FLYING AND CRYING BECAUSE IT IS SO AMAZING.
AND I LOVE HORSES. >> James: I LOVE THAT.
REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING?
>> YES, I DO. TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO OUR
GUEST THIS EVENING. ALSO IF YOU WERE CONFRONTEDDED
WITH A FORCE OF THE DARKNESS, AND THE FORCE OF THE LIGHTEDNESS
AND THE FORCE OF THE GRAYNESS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ALL OF
THEM AS THEY APPROACH? >> BE HONEST, WHAT ARE YOU
WATCHING ON NETFLIX AT THIS MOMENT.
>> James: OKAY, LA KEETD. >> I WOULD SAY HELLO, OLD
FRIEND. >> Reggie: 110 PERCENTLY
CORRECT. >> James: IT'S ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT. PLEASE THANK LAKEITH STANFIELD,
RYAN TEDDER, STICK AROUND, ONE REPUBLIC ARE PLAYING RIGHT AFTER
THIS.
