Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Hello, Miley Cyrus.
How are you?
I'm good, Joe.
Pleasure to meet you.
You also, I'm happy to be here.
I'm happy to have you here.
You have a fantastic voice, not just a singing voice, but your talking voice.
It's very unusual.
It's like, it makes you step back a little bit, like, oh.
I've actually, recently I was walking around in Boston, and I went to a museum,
and this
like, older man walked up to me.
I had no idea who I was.
He was just enjoying the art, also in the museum, and started talking to me
forever about my
voice, and my, and then there was a college, some sort of trip to the museum,
and then everybody
started freaking out, and it was so cool just to have someone stop me about my
speaking voice,
because that had never happened to me before.
I think because I was turned around, and I had the mullet, so I could have been,
you know,
anybody, I could have been, anyone.
It's a heavy voice.
It's a heavy voice.
You didn't always have a heavy voice, though.
Like, when, my kids love Hannah Montana, by the way.
Yeah.
So when I would watch, your voice was different.
It's definitely changed.
I actually, I kind of learned a lot about the voice, and how our experiences
affect our
voice.
I had a surgery in November on my voice.
I had something called Reiki's Edema, which, when my doctor told me about it,
he said,
no one shy ever has this.
This is for abuse of the voice.
This is for people that talk way too fucking much.
And usually, this happens when you're like in your 60s or 70s.
How do I not have that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Mine, I think, honestly, really, I started touring, you know, at probably 12 or
13, and
not only was I, the adrenaline that you have after a show, it's not really the
singing that
affects your voice as much.
It's afterwards, you're totally on.
And then it's really hard to get that sleep.
You stay up, talking all night.
Later, the talking all night turned into smoking all night.
And now, this is kind of where we're at.
We got some dirt on her.
You know, the voice can be like a face.
It collects wrinkles, and it tells a story.
If you look at yourself, and you go, oh, I didn't have this until this trip.
You know, I sat out in the sun, or I partied too much, or whatever, and your
voice does
the same thing.
It collects dirt.
It's very distinctive.
Yeah.
Yes, it gives me away.
I mean, I'm pretty much one of the only chicks in LA with a mullet, so that
gives me away
also.
Well, you're not in the right neighborhood.
There's plenty of them.
I know, I got to dry out to the desert, I guess.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go out to Joshua Tree.
Yeah, exactly.
Find the chicks that are tripping.
Exactly.
Yeah, with handmade tattoos.
I had a couple of those, too.
But there's something very distinctive about a voice you earned, you know?
It's true.
It's kind of like, you know, when you see somebody, and I think especially
being like a female
in the industry, I think growing up and changing, and like kind of that, there
is such a kind
of stigma with aging.
It's a very kind of scary thing as a female in the industry.
And I thought about it a lot and thought about my voice.
I actually had someone, when I was doing an interview a couple months ago, said,
you know,
she sounds like she stayed up all night smoking too many darts.
And I said, well, I fucking have.
And that's just the truth.
And if you know that was anyone else, you know, it's kind of like you're
weathered or
you're aged or you've been through it.
And, you know, we'll talk about it as we go.
But over the last year, I noticed a really big change in my voice, kind of a
heaviness
to it.
And I experienced some heavy things.
And so I feel like it is a reflection.
It is kind of a scar in a sense.
But also just by having the surgery was kind of a gift also because I was able
to understand
my instrument.
No one ever explained that to me.
You know, I sat in a room with the piano and did scales and shit, but no one
taught me about
how do you have longevity?
You know, you are in here with athletes all the time and recovery days are the
most important
days.
I didn't get recovery days there.
That was not important for someone that was making so much capital for such a
big corporation.
You know, the off days are days that that money's not coming in.
And I definitely probably didn't get the training that I needed to say, hey,
you know what?
I don't want to do this till I'm 15.
I want to do this till I'm 80.
And that wasn't always considered.
Definitely not complaining.
It gave me an amazing launch pad for everything I'm doing now, but I hear it.
But it had to be really odd to be working that much and be a young girl.
The balance it trained me to have is something that I don't think you are going
to get taught
any other way besides jumping in the deep end of the pool and hoping you know
how to swim.
That's the only way I there was no way I could have prepared for the amount of
balance.
I would have to learn to kind of teeter because, you know, at one point, again,
it went from it was school.
Then it went from, you know, how many how much we can actually smoke and still
play a teenage superstar on the Disney Channel?
And then like and then like what's the answer to that question?
More than you would fucking think I remember one time when I don't smoke
anymore and I'm sober, but I I've been sober since the pretty much the vocal
surgery kind of did it for me because I just learned so much about the effects,
which again, you're just not taught.
It's not really the drinking, it's staying up all night, you know, once you
have your drink, you end up smoking.
And I kind of I have a I've become the face of a lot of things kind of against
my will, I guess, from my opinions.
When you're someone in my position, your opinion becomes your identity and it
also becomes kind of almost like you kind of become this like preacher.
You become this, you know, they don't really let you just always have your own
opinion.
So I've decided to start telling people I live my own lifestyle.
Alcohol was never my problem.
There was other things that I end up, you know, I like to go up.
So I I now just avoid really drinking because I like to wake up at one hundred
and ten percent.
But it's never really been my problem.
And I could see myself having a drink of celebration in the future.
But I get so fucking hung over now that I'm like, why would I celebrate with
like just feeling like a volcano?
It's erupted in my brain, you know, so so it's really just a personal
preference, but it's definitely not anything that I promote in.
I think it's a lifestyle.
Everyone should be I think everyone should experiment.
It's a good time and you learn a lot of things about yourself and the people
around you.
But now I'm watching I have younger siblings and they're going through that.
And I don't know how my mom did it with me because it's scary.
Yeah, I don't think I think if we're going to acknowledge the fact that all
these things exist, cocaine exists, pills exist, marijuana exists.
We should teach people how to do it right.
Really, I mean, you're leaving children.
It's the same thing with sex, right?
Yeah, we leave children to their there's the information that they're going to
get is from other kids.
Yeah.
And if you're learning about sex from another 14 year old or you're learning
about coke from a 14 year old, that's not good.
Yeah.
Like someone we play this game with children where we try to pretend that, you
know, they live in a movie.
All right.
Well, listen to this.
It's actually funny you bring this up because I had the idea this week.
Not that I really have time to do this in the near future, but I would like to
at some point in my life.
I want to do my own children's book series of realistic children's stories
because I don't like the idea that we teach them that this is sunshine world
and everyone walks out a rainbow and everyone's equal.
And you need to say, like, that's not what are you going to do about it?
That's not true.
What are you going to do about it?
And I think there's a way to not terrify children of life, even though I go in
and out of periods where I think life is really overwhelmingly terrifying.
And that's coming from my position and my position.
I tell myself all the time, if you're not enjoying this life, honey, you've got
it coming in the next one because I better fucking love this life.
It's the best one.
I couldn't imagine being in a different body and having a different experience.
It's an awesome life if you do it the right way.
It's an awesome life.
And I also, I didn't hurt myself beyond repair in my experiences.
I survived.
And I don't even mean heart still beating survival.
I mean, I have a lot of people that love me around.
I didn't kick all the people that had my best interest at heart out.
That's where you die, is you kick everyone that says, hey, are you okay?
You know, out.
No, of course I'm okay.
You don't trust me.
Get the fuck out.
And so now that I have people that I've had in my life, I feel that I have
people in my life that I've known for 15, 20 years.
And not many people in my position get to say that.
My parents are awesome.
My dad's loopy as hell, but I love him so much.
He has no way of ever hearing this because my dad doesn't have Wi-Fi or
anything but a Blackberry.
So I can tell you what I got him for his birthday.
My dad has two Blackberries, which equal in that phone.
Which is not true, but that's what he says.
So for his birthday, he said that he wanted to see if he could go 365 days
without eating pizza because he had never done it before.
So my dad has now gone a year without having pizza, and my dad loves bubble
baths.
He's going to kill me for saying this, but his country ass loves bubble baths.
That's hilarious.
And so he loves to smoke his joint, eat his pizza, and get a bubble bath.
So he said, that's what I'm going to do for my birthday.
So for his birthday, I've organized a five-foot pizza to be delivered to his
farm so he can have all he can eat.
And I'm the pizza delivery person on the box.
I had someone draw it where it's me with my tongue out and a mullet delivering
the pizza.
And I got a bathtub on Craigslist, and my dad has 500 acres, so I put it in the
middle of the farm filled with bubble gum, just like my music video.
And so my dad's going to have a bubble gum bathtub and a five-foot pizza for
his birthday.
That's adorable.
That's next week.
I like the fact that he has no Wi-Fi and no internet.
No Wi-Fi, no internet.
Every now and then, he'll drive to my uncle's house to FaceTime us every now
and then.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Wow, he has to make a drive to FaceTime.
It's not far.
All of us are just like, my dad's kept us a pebbles throw away, for sure.
We all live on property.
We all live really close to each other.
So if you did this thing, like if you really decided to do children's books,
like realistic children's books,
like how would you do that?
Would you get a ghost author and sort of come up with the ideas of what you
were trying to get?
Get across to kids?
What do you wish somebody told you?
I like that you mentioned that no one talks to us about drugs.
I know this is going to be controversial to introduce drugs to kids.
I think that there's a way, and I have to think about it.
Wayne Coyne, who's a good friend of mine, and I did the Dead Pets record with
him.
Flaming Lips have been my favorite band since I was in fifth grade.
And he's obviously an amazing artist.
And he just had his first child.
Year and a half years old.
He's 60.
He just had a baby.
They're coming to visit me right now.
And I would have him do all the illustrations.
And so it stays in that kind of surrealist world.
Because I think that's what would get the kids to want to read this book, is
that the illustrations are still surreal.
And I like that about children's books.
But I do think that we do need to talk
