So think of all the shows you watch where all the singers are competing but for hip-hop. LEGEND: Right now, timing-wise, we've got one thing that we produce that I'm very excited about, which is called "Rhythm + Flow." It's a new competition show that will be on Netflix, and it starts in October. So which of your projects, current or upcoming, are you most excited about? And doing what my core job is, which is to make music and make people feel good by the music that I make. And I actually focus the most on just writing songs and recording songs. LEGEND: But I come in when it's important for me to add my creative voice and to appear in some of the productions that we put together. And I don't have to day-to-day be in the weeds of all the work that we do. LEGEND: I'm getting a lot done, but a lot of it is because I have a lot of great people that work with me and for me. I'm spending a lot of time at home with my family. LEGEND: Well, you know, it sounds like I'm really busy, but I don't feel like I am. And I don't even know if I was able to count up all the things you're doing right now. There's your work on "The Voice." There's "Songland" - this reality songwriting competition. You are producing and starring in live musicals. And, like, when I was researching this interview, I said to myself, like, you have to be one of the busiest people in the biz right now. You're in the midst of doing a lot of stuff today already.

SANDERS: It is an honor and a pleasure to be talking with you today. LEGEND: It's fine, but you can call me John.

Also I guess I should ask, what is your preferred title? I was like - do I want to call him Mr. John joined me from his studio in Los Angeles. It may not be the best thing for kids to hear. Listeners, as a heads up, in that part of the conversation, there's some unbleeped offensive language. And, of course, we cannot discuss their relationship without discussing how the two of them recently got into a Twitter fight with the president. We also discuss his extremely popular celebrity marriage to the one and only Chrissy Teigen. In this chat, we talk about how John Legend gets it all done. John is a co-host on the reality singing competition show "The Voice." He has an upcoming hip-hop competition show on Netflix called "Rhythm + Flow." He put out a Christmas R&B album last year and has a new album on the way soon. Besides winning all the awards, John Legend is also a very busy, very hard-working man. Today's guest has won all of those awards. An EGOT is someone who has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. He is an EGOT, one of maybe 20 or so in the world ever. Many of them have won awards, but very few of them have achieved the award status our next guest has. So we talk to a lot of actors and singers and performers on this show.
