What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper, with Call Her Daddy.

Taylor Momson, welcome to Call Our Daddy. Hello, thank you for having me. I am so excited to

finally sit down with you. I feel like you've been someone that I wanted to have on, and it's been a long

time coming, so it feels right that you're here. Thank you. How are you doing? I'm doing excellent. Are you in L.A. just for promo and everything? Promo and rock and roll hall of fame. And it's a busy, it's a busy week. Okay, wait. I read somewhere that you are a night owl and you kind of go to bed late. Were you up late last night? I tried to go to bed. Well, I flew in, I actually flew in from Seattle yesterday. Okay. I feel like I haven't slept in at least three weeks. So I'm kind of running on fumes. I'm hitting that point. So I tried to go to bed earlier, which was like midnight,

which was very early for me. Okay. Is this just like all musicians though? Because every single

musician I've interviewed, one wants a late star and two, it's like they don't, they literally like

start their nights at like 1 a.m. I think my brain doesn't wake up until like seven. Okay. So 7 p.m.

So like anything before 7 o'clock, I can show up. I can do it. But it's my brain just isn't at

its highest functioning quality until like seven. But do you think that's because you're playing

shows and writing music and your most creative at night? I think definitely a part of it is the routine of used to being up late because of touring and things. So you get on that schedule and then it's just hard to switch a schedule. But I've always found even when I was younger and I didn't have that, if I try to go to bed early, I can't, even if I fall asleep, I'm more tired the next day than if I just stay up and then sleep less.

It's a weird thing. to bed early. I can't, even if I fall asleep, I'm more tired the next day than if I just stay up

and then sleep less. It's a weird thing. But I definitely find creative, like my creative brain

starts to work at night. Okay, well, I'm happy that you're waking your year. This is fabulous.

Made it. Okay, you were the lead singer of the Pretty Reckless band. Can we talk, though, about that you have a Christmas

EP that just came out. And I feel like, just from the vibes, I'm like, this is a departure from

what your band is usually doing. Did you have to convince everyone to do this? And like,

was it primarily your idea? It was my idea. Well, let me

rephrase that. It was actually, it was the fan's idea. So this is something that it's Taylor

Momsom's Pretty Reckless Christmas. And I'm doing the song from The Grinch. Where Are You Christmas?

And that was something that when I first formed the Pretty Reckless when I was 14, every year people put the connection together that I was Cindy Lou Who in The Grinch. And every year I got more and more exponential and more people, you know, put that together. And it was always kind of a funny thing that, you know, you smile at and you go, ha, that's cute. And every year they'd go do a rock version

of where are you Christmas? And for, I don't know, 15 years, I went no way. Like in zero

worlds, is this something I would ever do? Fast forward to it's COVID. We've gone through a lot
