-Kevin, good to see you again.
Danielle, first time on our show.
-I know. -You know, your --
your daughters weirdly made a cameo on my show.
-Yes, they did.
-When we were interviewing Kevin.
During Zoom, they both just hopped onto the camera,
if you can see them up there.
-Oh, yeah. There they are.
-Look at how cute. So now I have the whole --
I've had -- I have your whole family.
-The whole crew has been on the show now.
-On the show, yeah. -They went on first.
-Yeah, I know. -Yeah.
Sorry about that. -Was it fun
having them around for interviews?
-Oh, you know, they made it a game.
They were like, "I'm gonna make sure
that every interview is more difficult than it needs to be."
-Yeah. -But it was fun.
It was a way for us to bond as a family.
-Yeah. I heard that Questlove D.J.'d your wedding.
Is that true? -Yep.
-He did. Actually, I just saw him at the Oscars.
And he -- and he said --
-You were great, by the way, bud.
-Oh, thank you. I had so much fun.
It was weird to be asked to play for Reba McEntire,
and you're just like... -What an honor.
-"Okay, yes." You know?
-Yeah. -And so, I actually called her.
I'm like, "So this weird thing has happened."
It was wonderful, but then I saw Questlove and his mother,
which was awesome. -I know, his mom...
-So nice. And she was -- he told her
that, "This was my first celebrity wedding I D.J.'d."
-Is that right? -That's what he said.
Or D.J. gig. I'm not sure if it was,
you know, wedding or D.J. gig. -Yeah.
And how'd he do? -He did great.
-He crushed, right? -I mean, there was a luge
in front of him, and everybody was like --
-Yeah, everyone had a great time.
No one ate the food. -No.
[ Laughter ] -No, of course not.
-So I billed it back to him.
[ Laughter ] -Oh, yeah, any uneaten food --
Yeah, Questlove has to pay for it if the D.J. is too good.
-Too good. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got to be a little bad so you can finish the food.
Yeah, exactly.
Did he take any requests from you?
-No requests. -Yeah, me too. Yeah.
He sees me come up to the thing, he's like, "Just go away.
Just go." -"Get out of here."
-He's like, "Please leave me alone." Yeah.
-But then, you know what? There was no requests needed.
He was so unbelievable. -Yeah, he's a great D.J.
I want to talk about this.
"There's a Rock Concert in My Bedroom."
You guys wrote this great book.
I have two little girls, and I know you do, as well.
Do they -- Do they perform? Is this based on real lives?
Do they want to sing? Do they -- Do they get nervous?
-I think -- Well, Alena had this recital,
and she was practicing, like, in the foyer for hours.
And she was like -- I saw her getting really frustrated.
-Yeah. -So we'd turn on some music
for her, and we're like, "Let's just have fun with it."
Like, "You -- You know this." You know?
-Yeah. -"You're just getting nervous."
And she ended up having a lot of fun.
And then when she went on stage, she remembered everything.
So it was -- it was good.
What's good about the book is that you can --
I feel like the girls are so different
that when, like, one comes home, I ask her, like, "How's school?"
she's like, "It's great." -Yeah.
-The other one doesn't say anything.
-Yeah, she's like, "I don't like school."
-She's like, "I -- I don't really like talking about this.
I just like boys," you know? [ Laughter ]
-Yeah, exactly. -I'm dying inside.
-Yeah. -But I feel like, then,
when I read a book to them and I'm able to ask them questions,
they open up more. -How old are they now?
-5 and 8. -5 and 8. Yeah.
It's the greatest. That's --
My girls are like that, too. And it's like, they're reading.
And it's like -- to read a book to them,
this is the perfect, 'cause my youngest one,
she sings songs in her -- in her bedroom and --
with her dolls and stuff. And she's -- then I go like,
"Oh, sing me that song you were just singing."
She goes, "I can't. I have stage fright."
[ Laughter ]
And I go, "How do you know that word?"
-Yeah. Like, "Where did that come from?"
-"What stage -- What stage are you talking about?"
I go -- I'm not -- -"It's just my stage, Dad.
You just don't see it." -Yeah, exactly.
She's like -- And I'm like, I don't want
to pressure anything, you know, because I would --
but I remember when I was a kid and, you know,
performing at my parents' parties or something like that,
it's like, you get nervous.
But then, once you get through it --
I mean, I'm used to it now. And now --
Like, do you get nervous when -- -Oh, my God.
-Are you -- [ Laughter ]
Are you nervous now?
-There may have been some tequila before we came out here.
[ Laughter ]
-Whatever, yeah. -Yeah.
-Well, no, I mean -- but I mean -- to put you on --
'Cause you're like, "My husband does that."
-Yeah. -"I don't perform."
-No. -Yeah, no, 'cause my wife's
like, "Please. I can't even be in front of the camera at all."
-She's so incredible, doing it. -Yeah.
-It's just like -- it makes me so happy
to be able to do stuff with her. And, you know,
I have to deal with these other two idiots.
-But that's why we were -- yeah. [ Laughter ]
-How are -- How are your brothers?
-They're good. They're really, really busy.
And Joe was just here. He did so good.
Well, actually, it was awesome. -He crushed it, man.
He's so fun. -He can sing his butt off.
-I know. You guys are great.
But I think this is a -- is a fun book, and I think it'll
build confidence in any little kid out there.
"There is a Rock Concert in My Bedroom."

Thank you for coming on. -Thank you.
-You nailed it. Now I had the whole family on.
Come back, okay? -Yeah!
