- No we're not.
- Okay. Go ahead.
- Radio festival.
- It *was* a radio festival.
- Yeah. It was with Andrew Berkowitz, what?
- It *was* with Andrew Berkowitz.
- Booyah.
- He doesn't remember, though.
- He doesn't.
- He wasn't super warm with me.
- What are you talking about?!!
[Laughter]
- You weren't!
- I was being cool!
- You were being cool.
And I was not cool. I got it.
- I meeting Kelly Clarkson!
I had to be cool, man!
- He wasn't mean.
You weren't mean by any means.
- He wasn't super warm with me [Laughter]
- 2002. I had no game!
I had to be cool.
Like, I had to be above it
I thought you were talented.
And I thought you were awesome.
- You did. You did.
I'm saying you weren't mean.
- I believe I was complimentary.
- But you weren't like...
[Laughter]
- Wait, wait. If you're a person...
a dude, especially.
And you're meeting this girl.
You're famous.
You don't want to be like...
"oh my god..."
- No. I get it. I have brothers.
I get it. I totally get it.
But he was the cool musician
and I was...I've never been cool.
So like i...
- What did you need from me?
To make you feel like I really was...
- This is why. This is why.
I'll explain it.
He has no idea about this, either.
But I actually knew,
I had their record before it came out
'cause I had worked with this producer
Tommy Sims, when I shot
the worst movie ever.
And that I had to contractually issue.
- What was that?
- "Justin and Kelly"
- Oh yeah!
- But anyway, Tommy Sims gave me
this record. It was before it was
even out.
And.. I totally fell in love with it.
I was... I loved them so much.
I was so excited,
but that I was kind of nervous..
- So you came in hot?
- Then so I came in hot.
Okay. So I kind of I mean I think you noticed
with the Meryl Streep environment on TV.
Like I might freak people out.
So I'll give him that one.
But like, I was a little...
- She also does remember it.
- I do! 'Cause I never told him that
until just now!
- I remember when I met Kelly Clarkson!
- If I didn't remember when I met you,
you'd have to be super screwed up.
- No, no. Like I said,
you weren't mean.
You weren't at all mean.
I just was not cool. So I was trying to
be cool and I just said awkward things.
- Like what? What kind of awkward things?
I think I tried to be like,
oh my god! How'd your record...
I just talk a lot
and so I just think I...
- I was like this. I was like...
- Yeah.
- He was like,
somebody get the talking piranha away.
- No. Honest to god I will tell you,
straight up. She's super cool.
And then, by the way,
and when we met, oh she's so sweet.
And you used to be a lot more
of an introvert, I feel like.
Not introvert. But like...
- Reserved.
- Like, yeah. I'm very much an extrovert.
- Yeah, I'm not an introvert.
I was reserved, but also remember
I was brand new. You had
kind of gone through something already
and I was like just going through it.
So I was like, okay.
- He was not mean.
it was just funny because
I was so excited.
And I was like, I was a superfan.
