When most of us look at a vegetable, we see a snack.
Or lunch.Maybea side dish for dinner (if ya nasty!).
You could play them now and I could probably tell you every single word.

I probably knew them because I was moving and dancing.
Thats how information really sinks in," Richie tells EW.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This show is amazing.
I never wouldve thought trap songs about saving bees and food waste would get stuck in my head.
Where did you get the idea to do this?
So, obviously I needed to, also.
I [thought]Im going to go with trap music.
Obviously after thinking about it, I couldnt do trap music and disrespect the genre.
So, I created my own genre, which is parent trap.
I wish I could say I did.
On my first studio session, I said, Ok guys, what time should I be there?
and the reply was How is 8?
I said 8 is great!
Right, Im a rapper now, which means I have to shift my clock a little bit.
8 p.m. is normally 30 minutes before my bedtime, so Ill work on that.
Why does trap work well paired with social consciousness?
You could play them now and I could probably tell you every single word.
I probably knew them because I was moving and dancing.
Thats how information really sinks in.
Theyll go to bed wasted and wake up a little dehydrated, but also a little more educated!
Why did you decide on presenting the series like that?
Ive been around it all.
Some of it is very funny.
I have a sense of humor!
I wanted to play into all of the stereotypes.
These things really are important to me.
I really do care about food.
Youd be horrified if you knew how much food was thrown in landfills.
Compared to how many people are starving in the world, that doesnt add up.
Did you work with any songwriters or producers for these songs that might surprise people?
Shes got the best sense of humor…. Can you walk me through a typical songwriting session?
As far as what each song was going to be about, I already knew.
I love that whole Im in the studio [vibe].
I took so many selfies with headphones on and sent them to everyone I know.
Were you concepting all of your own music videos too?
Chris Cottam, the director, did, but I came up with some of them.
The Drip Drip music video is a love story between me and water.
Theres a wedding ceremony, and its a love story.
I came up with that concept by myself.
What does your dad think of the songs?
I havent played him the songs!
But, the world changed overnight and that party never happened.
I think you should do it on Instagram Live now.
I would love to, but I dont even know how to do that.
I have to find a millennial to help me!
Is it his knowledge?
The outfits are gold.
His energy is just amazing.
Hes smart and very handsome.
Whats the problem!?
Hes very passionate about bees, and that was my first time meeting him.
I think Bill was like, I have a responsibility to the bees to be on this show.
Im making that up… [Laughs].
It does speak to the seriousness of what youre doing that Bill Nye said yes!
What did you think of his dance moves?
He was like Elvis.
They really shook me!
Lets say you do become a trap icon.
Are there dream collaborations you have?
No, I didnt.
I dont know anything on the internet!
Someone logged onto the account andtweeted a photo of Lindsay and Parisand people went crazy.
Wait, is there an officialSimple LifeTwitter account?
Id be more shocked that there was an activeSimple Lifeaccount, because who would be running it?
That show is like 20 years old.
I want to meet the goddess whos running that account in 2020.
The show is still so popular!
Its on Amazon and I watch it all the time.
That makes me so happy.
Paris spoke about it recently that you guys are still friends.
Would you ever do anotherSimple Life?
No phones in this day and age just doesnt work!
Also, were almost 40 years old, and I cant imagine leaving my kids.
Weve got real jobs now.
We were 20 or 21 when we did it.
It was like backpacking through Europe: something you do in your twenties.
Thats what your twenties are for.
