He said it with humor but I think he's serious. I'm pretty sure he's on meds for anxiety. He's mentioned this in other podcasts and interviews.

Love the idea!!

Yes, love that idea!

Yes!😊

Great idea!! I’m all in!

Yes, they should have a podcast together.

I love the fact they're friends and so funny together! It proves you don't have to be mean-spirited in order to participate in these talent competitions.

You read my mind! I would like to see them host a show together - but not just a talk show. It has to be a variety show including singing guests. Would love it! So happy to see these two defied the odds. You see so many sad stories about contestants in the national competitions and how tragedy happens after their season is over. These two still look great!

I would love for them to date.

Ikr!!!? I could listen to them talk for hours. Different in a lot of ways but complement each other well! I love Clay's laugh & Ruben's laid back confidence & sense of humor. Made it feel like we're in the room with them.

I'm pretty sure that would be the tiicket to revive American Idol.

Clay needs to stop dressing himself. He still doesn't know how.

A Christmas variety show would be nice.

Don't forget Chris Daughtry. It was like watching a concert every episode and I still love Daughtry music today.

And Adam Lambert. They were all so good. I stopped watching after those early seasons.

*they're

Me too. How do we get them to consider this

I do not want to see them on a show. They are too good for that crap. Put them on American Idol as judges or as coaches. Absolute superstars!!!

@@tysontyson1244 I agree. Whenever I see that someone likes an interview or a person, they “NEED” a show or “NEED” a Netflix show. Like, no lol not everyone does.

I agree. Idol alumnis should be judges!

I’d watch that

Several times.

Yeah! He’s much smaller now! He looks fantastic!

Yes, and the VOTE was too close to call!😮 So much so, when Rolling Stone magazine put Clay on the cover, ppl had protested and got Ruben on the cover! RS got TWO covers out of it!! BUT they BOTH deserved it!!

@@sandraandrews9907 The vote was close but not too close to call. There were 38 million viewers, 24 million votes, and Ruben won by over 130,000. The Rolling Stone interview with Clay even says that Ruben won by 134,400. People were pissed that Clay got the Rolling Stone cover because he was the loser. The general feeling was, "Even when the black guy wins, he still loses." Rolling Stone and American Idol saw Clay as more marketable. Why else would Rolling Stone choose to showcase the loser before showcasing the winner? American Idol fully expected Clay to win, and they fumbled Ruben's surprise win. I'm not sure if anyone "deserves" to win a TV singing competition, but Ruben won. Ruben has never been treated like a winner. He always gets treated like the guy who stole Clay's victory.

@@deshaunx776 i think a lot of it is that there was controversy over supposed votes getting lost because of busy signals that may have changed the result. Clay won the votes every week from wild card on so some think the results weren’t correct

Id pick Clay now tbh

@@Maryroachguilbeaux doesn’t matter what some think and who couldn’t get through the lines. Reuben won and those are the facts. Unfortunately people are butt hurt and didn’t want to accept it. Reuben also had a huge fan base that showed up, something American Idol didn’t anticipate.

What??

From talking to other fans that know Clay personally, I have heard from them that Clay is on meds for anxiety. Antidepressants do help with anxiety so I'm not surprised that comment was in there. Back in 2006 was very open about being on antidepressants. In 2014 when he ran for Congress, Clay was very open about being on Xanax. So I'm not surprised that he would still be on meds for anxiety.
