This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. On the Bobby Bones show now. Megan Maroney. Megan, good to see you. Good to see you. I was wondering if you had to go buy a bunch of new pink stuff. Yeah, I did. I had some, but, you know, stocking up. Yeah, sometimes you can tell ahead of time. And I wondered if people would have seen you at a store buying pink stuff. I'm going

like,

ah,

we've got up. Yeah, sometimes you can tell ahead of time. And I wondered if people would have seen you at a

store buying pink stuff if they'd be going to like, ah, we got it. We know her next era is going to be

pink. For my birthday, before the color was announced in October, I got a lot of pink stuff. I got a pink

purse, pink ugg slippers, and I couldn't post them or anything or be seen in them because

my fans are

really sneaky and smart. In a similar way, my wife is very pregnant and when I post any sort of

picture of if I have like a stroller or I'm putting together a stroller, I make them black and white

because we're not saying what it's going to be. And if I'm wearing blue shorts, oh, it's an Easter egg.

Yeah, he's hinting.

So I wondered if you had to hide all your pink stuff.

Yeah, I did.

Why did you choose pink?

Well, once I started writing the album about like three songs in,

there was a song that was like really like hot pink.

And so that kind of was stuck in my brain

and then I continued to write the rest of the album and um there's a softness about cloud nine

that isn't in my other albums um so I think I kind of chose like all shades of pink but I guess

there is that like staple hot pink um but I think it's soft but also still confident and empowering. And it just makes sense in my brain. I love pink. I wear a lot of pink anyway. Real men wear pink. I'm also very colorblind. Okay. And reds I do pretty good with. And isn't pink just a version of red? Like a lighter red? With some white, yeah. Maybe that's why I like it. Red and white makes pink. Yeah, there you go. What color do you think I'm wearing right now? I know you're, well, I would have trouble with the pants. Okay. Because the pants don't, the shoes look purple. I can tell you have a pink top on, like a hoodie or sweatshirt.

And the pants, I don't know. That doesn't look like anything. They're all like a little bit different shades. They are all pink. I see where you struggle. They are all pink. Not even a little purple, I don't think. Like in my head right now. Like you don't have to like double down on that. You can just be like, it's all pink.
