All right.
Between the two of them, our first guests
have a Grammy, a Super Bowl ring, and three kids.
Please welcome Ciara and Russell Wilson.
What's up, y'all?
Hey.
Yo, it's so good to have y'all here.
Russell, it's your first time on the show, man.
Welcome.
I know, man.
This is exciting, especially for the Valentine's Day edition.
I'm excited.
Absolutely, and it's so much fun doing this together
as a couple, right?
Doing a couple of press things as a couple.
Yeah.
Yeah, we saw y'all's dance earlier.
And so I mean, we're always dancing around the house too.
So any time we can do something together,
it's always a blessing.
Absolutely, man.
And I got to say, congratulations
on winning the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, man.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
[INAUDIBLE]
What did that mean to you?
Tell us about that.
We love Walter Payton and just to be
able to be honored with that prestigious award
and to be blessed with that.
It's a blessing.
Ciara and I have been fortunate to try
to make an impact with our Why Not You
Foundation in so many different ways along the journey,
with Feeding America, Wheels Up x Meals Up, what we did that
and I am a voter campaign [INAUDIBLE]..
So it's been a journey.
And all the things we've fortunately been able to do,
all the kids we've been able to affect with Seattle Children's
Hospital has been a blessing too.
And you know what?
That's amazing.
And I love how much y'all give back.
And we're going to get to that in just a second.
But I have to ask, man, because Russell,
there's a couple of photos going around
with you looking really upset during the game.
I just got to ask what was going on during that time?
Ciara and Roger are over there talking,
and I'm all pissed off.
I'm watching the game.
I'm all dressed to the nines.
And I'm sitting there in the box with [INAUDIBLE]
I'm not playing the game.
So that's what that meme is all about.
Yes, so I guess it's safe to say that you're
excited for next season, then.
Oh, yeah, man.
Any time you get to play is always a blessing.
That's for sure.
You get excited about it.
Absolutely.
Now, like I was saying, I love how much y'all give back.
And you're actually opening a tuition-free charter school
later this year.
Tell us about that.
Yeah, well the Why Not You Academy
is something that's very near and dear to our hearts.
And it was a dream come true for us
because we really believe in the power of creating and providing
access to those in need and especially the minority
communities.
And so everything is getting built. As we speak--
Yeah.
--we're in the process of everything coming together.
And it's a dream come true for us
to be able to provide hope and dreams for the young kids that
desire to have it.
So it's a blessing.
100%, and I think it's also so beautiful too that y'all have
a platform to be able to adapt to what is needed for our youth
and things like that, right?
And Ciara, I know there's three kids at home.
You've been dealing with at-home learning.
Ciara, you'll probably be able to teach at the school
when it opens up, right?
I will tell you, COVID has made--
I can, you know, you talk about supermom.
And I'm like, I am a superhero at this point because I really
feel like there's nothing I can't do being a mom.
And basically, if anybody needs help in teaching,
any teachers need help, I got you.
I can be a great teacher assistant.
Yup.
I've kind of gotten this thing on lock by now.
So it's awesome.
Yeah, it's been fun too, obviously,
with the kids being on Zoom and doing school,
but also just how much fun they're having
with us being around them.
It's kind of different, this much during the day.
So we're staying active every day.
Absolutely.
And Ciara, you said earlier, supermom.
You also had a baby in quarantine.
So congrats on that, by the way.
I saw a TikTok of you and the little lady dancing to "Body."
She looks like she might she might take after mom, actually,
right?
Well, that's the best [INAUDIBLE]
that's a little mini me.
We love dancing together.
We love to [INAUDIBLE].
I love that.
I love it.
And I'm just also obsessed with y'all's TikTok too.
It's like y'all are couple goals,
just couple goals all over.
Family goals.
More with Russell and Ciara when we come back, y'all.
Now, y'all are on the cover of GQ, which came out yesterday.
And, y'all, I mean, just take a look at that real quick.
Yeah, this looks like it was a fun shoot, y'all.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Another one of those unique COVID experiences
is doing a photo shoot.
And that COVID style was kind of weird,
I would say, but really cool because we're
really proud of the cover and how the photos came out.
And so very, very special time.
Now, Ciara, you revealed that you can do a Nicki Minaj
impression.
Can you bless us with that real quick?
What are you talking about?
Like, what do you mean?
Like, whatever.
I'm talking [INAUDIBLE].
[LAUGHTER]
Y'all, you're also here to talk about your new fragrance,
which also, thank you very much, you sent Allison and I a box
of that.
It's really dope.
But also how they connect with magnets,
they're meant to be connected together, showing couplehood.
Tell us about this.
How did this come about?
Well, it was cool because we got to have
some date nights, obviously, in COVID and everything else.
And we've always talked about having a fragrance.
When I first met C, she always loved my cologne and stuff
like that.
So that was a big thing for us, wanting
to do something together.
And as you notice by the bottles,
they intertwine and are meant to be together.
So it was a cool process because we had a lot of successful date
nights, I'll say that.
It ended well.
Every detail mattered for us.
We were like, mm, OK, can you do a little less of this,
a little more of this?
And it's a lot of love put into those bottles.
So we hope everyone really enjoys it.
And we're really proud of it.
And also the packaging.
As you said, they both have to go together.
So it's a really cool thing.
Yeah, I think it's been cool for us to do
business and life together too.
We obviously have the fragrance, which has been awesome.
We have The House of LR&C, which is a fashion line
that we just launched with Good Man Brand and [INAUDIBLE]..
C's got some other stuff coming out.
We can't tell you the name yet, tWitch But it's been cool.
So The House of LR&C and the R&C fragrance
has been a blessing just to be able to give back too.
We always give 3% [INAUDIBLE].
We obviously love number three, so we give the 3% back
to charity too as well.
So it's been a cool journey.
Love that.
I love that.
