- Thank you.
- I love this outfit.
- Thank you so much.
- I am not kidding.
I am that person that if you, it's almost like a,
it's a bad thing, because if you come on,
if I happen to like scroll through something
and I see you, I'm like, oh, and then I see you.
And I watch the whole thing. - You're so sweet.
That's so sweet. - Even if I've seen it.
I've seen The Princess Switch with my daughter.
I don't know how many times,
and alone, not just 'cause of my daughter, I love them.
- Well, I mean let me love on you for a second.
- Oh, okay.
- So when I was coming up,
I grew up like doing theater. - Yeah that's you.
- This has always been a passion of mine
and you were on American Idol and you won.
And I was like, that's it,
I'm going on American Idol. - What?
- And then that next week I got an audition
for High School Musical and- - Well that worked out.
- Worked it, so then I was like, well nevermind. But-
- That worked out.
- I was like, I'm doing it.
And you were the catalyst.
- Oh, I love that. - Yeah.
- That's so funny. You are though,
you're captivating.
There's only like a few people, honestly, in my world,
like of entertainment that I'm like, must watch.
I can't turn it off.
I don't know why. - You're so sweet.
- But it's been 16 years since High School Musical.
Do you remember the beginning of that?
'Cause that was your big first thing.
- I mean yeah like I remember all the auditions definitely
'cause there were a lot of them.
- Oh really? - Uh uh.
- Oh. - Yeah.
There were like three,
but like I remember them distinctly.
- You know the same thing with Idol.
People don't know that
but there were many auditions
before it even got to the TV part.
- Oh yeah, of course.
I like remember meeting Zac for the first time,
meeting Lucas for the first time.
- Oh wow.
- Me and Ashley had already met
'cause we did a commercial together like a month prior.
- Random. - Yeah.
- Yeah. - But it's wild.
The time just keeps flying.
- Yeah, well you started so young.
That's I think that's what happens when you-
- Yeah like I got decades under my belt now.
- I know it feels weird.
I feel weird saying like 20 years in a bit
and that feels weird for me too.
But do you ever hear from
like younger kids just now discovering it?
Because my, speaking of my daughter,
my kids actually were introduced
to my nanny as in love with you as well.
So she showed them High School Musical and they love it.
So do you have like little kids now coming back?
'Cause you're like, that was a long time ago.
- I mean, yeah, a long time ago.
- I know what they think, is it weird?
Do they think? 'Cause my daughter,
like she'll see people
and she'll be like, wait, but is that the same girl?
'Cause they don't get that it came out like years ago.
- Totally.
- Do you get kids like that?
- I mean, I feel like I kind of look the same.
Congratulations on that.
That doesn't work for all of us.
- Good genes. Good genes. Good genes.
- Yeah, yeah. It's a weird thing.
- Like it's so crazy because it continues to live on
like for generations and, but like that's-
- So she was streaming.
- That's like the magic of musicals though, you know.
Like I remember watching West Side Story for the first time
when I was like three years old.
And like now there's a new one for the new generation.
Like musicals, just have this like legacy about them.
They don't go outta style.
- I think also it has a lot to do.
I mean the story yes.
But also the music is what captivates you
and I know you put out albums
like while you were doing that.
So are you gonna do that again?
I like you singing.
- Thank you. I like singing too.
They like me singing.
- Yeah.
- It definitely, I had it sit back for a second
and like figure out what it is that I wanted to do
because like-
- Focus on?
- Yeah. And like, I felt like if I was going
to do it again
I wanted it to be like really authentically myself
and like really be my own voice and perspective
and writing.
And I just like, honestly, haven't gotten there.
It hasn't been like the main priority.
I feel like if I was to do anything
like a jazz, something would probably be the first
that comes. - That's cool.
I love when people do that. - Because I love this.
- Me too. But I love when people
do like unexpected like that too.
- Yeah. I mean, it's just personal.
Like that's what I listen to.
Like I've always got Julie London or Billie Holiday playing
at my house and people are like, interesting.
I'm like, I'm a grandma. I don't know.
- Yeah, I have some grandma tastes about me too
but I think it's just called good taste.
- Yes it is.
- I think it's just like classic sound.
That sounds good. - Yeah. Yeah
- I'm just saying congratulations
'cause I hear you have a new man in your life.
- I do, yeah.
- That's exciting.
That's what, love is fun.

You know.
It's really exciting. - Oh my God, it's amazing.
- It's really beautiful.

Every single one of my friends and my sister,
like they all love freaking sports.
Like all, every, like I don't know how I ended up

Like I am definitely the black sheep, but they all love it.
So I did a bracket.
I don't know. - That's impressive.
They tried to get me through a bracket and I was like,
I don't have time for that.
- Oh my God.
But yeah it's kind of fun when you start picking teams
for like certain reasons.
But it's not fun when you lose.

- They're fun.
- Yeah. I realized there's nothing better
than that sound of like the tink
when you hit the ball right. - Yes.
- I'm like trying to go get fitted.
So I have my own clubs and then feel
like I'm ready to take on like a full course.
- I kinda get it too.
'Cause like forever, I'd just be like, that's so boring.
They just like leave like guys who was here,
like men like leaving and I'm like, now I get it.
- Now you get it.
- Because you get the whole freaking day off.
And you're basically just walking around,
talking to your buddies.

I was playing golf.
- Get fresh air, You're with the trees.
- Yeah.

- Get a drink then come around with them.
- It's a vibe. I'm into it.
- I mean it's a vibe. I'm into it too.
Women, we get, need to catch on.
- We need to go play golf together
that is what we're saying.
- Like, if you can watch I, this would be good TV as well.
'Cause I'm not great.
I'm like Happy Gilmore.
I can get it down.
Like I can like really nail the ball
but I can't putt for anything.
- Gotcha. - Yeah.
- Okay. So maybe well, I'm great at short distance.
You're great at long distance.
Okay, I'm not good at that.
- We can just be one player together.
- Vanessa, what do they call it?
Did I call it something you're not supposed to call it?
- I honestly have no idea.
- oh, okay. I was like- - No, it is.
- It is, yeah, the putting, right? Yeah.
- Sports.
- So I drink when I play.
So I'm like, whatever, I'm not good at that thing.
Putt putt, golf, whatever.
So is it true that you have a new passion in life?
Are you obsessed with ghosts? All right here you are.
- It's not really a new passion.
- Okay. We're just finding out.
- You're just kind of like finding out.
- Okay. - Yeah.
I feel like I've accepted the fact that like,
I see things and I hear things.
- Wait, do you really? You've had like experiences?
- Yeah. A lot of them. - Wow.
- A lot of them over the years,
like even as a child growing up,
like I remember like getting ready for school
when I was eight years old.
And there was like, you know, those ducks that like,
is like the duck thing that you pull to toy.
- Yeah. - There was one of those
on the dining room table
and I started walking and it just started like going
alongside me. And I was like, interesting.
And I kind of shut it down for a while
because like it's scary. - Yeah.
- You know and it' scary. You can't.
- Yeah. - But I recently was like, no,
this is like a gift.
And like something that I have the ability to do.
So I'm gonna lean into it.
And I recently did my first,
like real paranormal investigation,
like with equipment and everything.
- What equipment? Like a flux capacitor?
Like what are we talking about here?
Like what kind of equipment?
- There's a lot.
There's so much on the market genuinely.
- What? - But like my favorite thing
is called a spirit box. - Okay.
And it basically scans radio frequencies really quickly.
You wanna do it in like more of a rural place.
So it doesn't pickup stations.
And like, if you put on AM, it just sounds like static
but something about the electricity that it creates,
allows spirits to speak through it and I was-
- I mean, the Earth is all where you do have frequencies.
- Exactly, exactly.
- Or that's its own frequency, okay.
- So I was sitting at a a tombstone
in a graveyard with my best friend.
- 'Cause that's what we do.
That's worth it.
- Well, if you're trying to find ghosts,
it's like go in the graveyard and-
- Is this at nighttime or?
- Yeah, nighttime, pitch black.
- Wow. We're different.
- And we found this one tombstone of a spirit
that we were told is very playful.
So I turn it on.
I'm like, hi Sam, I'm Vanessa.
This is Gigi.
I'm like, I'm not very good at this.
I'm like, you're Sam.
- I am so into doing this, wow.
- And then Gigi goes, "Sam, can you tell us our names?
What are our names?"
And then we just hear, shhh Vanessa. Shhh.
- No, no.
- Yeah.
Did you run then?
- No. No. I was like, cool.
Do you have anything else that you wanna tell me?
And I just hear, shhh, no.
And I was like, okay, cool.
Well thank you.
You have to like tell them to stay
because you don't want spirits to follow you.
- Or do you?
- No, you don't.
- No? - No.
We're trying to live like you without that.
So we don't need that all the time.
- That's crazy, wait. So if you, okay.
If you were a ghost,
do you think you'd wanna, I would follow people.
I would follow people.
I'd just be nosy.
- I feel like I would be the ghost that like turns
on Billie Holiday in the middle of the night.
- That doesn't sound creepy at all.
That old school music. - I love it though.
I love creepy.
- I do too.
It's a good, well creep.
We just, it's one of our favorite songs so.
- Yes. - Okay. Wait.
