00:00It's the High Women album, too, but it's just me and three dudes.
00:08Hey, I'm Maren Morris, and this is Phoning It In with Elle.
00:13I'm not a good, like, pranker.
00:15I'm not a good fibber, or liar, or improviser, so we're gonna see how this goes.
00:22Okay.
00:23Say Bravo is launching the Real Housewives of Nashville, and you got asked to be a cast member.
00:29Shit.
00:30All right, I want to call my friend, John, because he's as obsessed with Bravo as I am.
00:36We're gonna find out if he falls for this.
00:41Hello?
00:42Hi.
00:44What's going on?
00:45I had, like, a job prompt to run by you because I feel like you are as obsessed with Bravo as I am.
00:53Okay, great. I love it.
00:54Okay, so they are launching a franchise of Real Housewives in Nashville.
00:58So Real Housewives of Nashville, and they're asking me to be a cast member.
01:04Oh.
01:05Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:06Hold on.
01:08How does that work?
01:10Are you saying that judgmentally because I'm not a housewife?
01:14Well, I'm saying that as the highest of compliments to you, and I don't mean to insult any potential housewife,
01:19but I feel like you have a flourishing career that requires you to be traveling constantly and performing,
01:28and I don't know how that would work.
01:30I don't either, but thank you for poking a bunch of holes in the balloon of this dream.
01:38No, I—
01:38I would watch you. I know that much. I would watch you.
01:41What if I did it, and then we both do, like, Watch What Happens Live?
01:45If that's the goal, I'm in.
01:47Okay.
01:48If that's the sole purpose of this, then count me 100% in.
01:52I have to come up with a tagline.
01:54Okay, let's do it right now.
01:55I think your tagline would be something like, uh—
01:58Welcome to my church.
01:59I don't know.
02:02Well, thank you for your help.
02:03I wish this was a real thing.
02:05It's not. It's a prank, but—
02:07My God.
02:08What a letdown. I was getting excited for that.
02:12Well, I think it could still happen.
02:13I just don't think I would ever do it.
02:16Can we still go and watch What Happens Live together, at least?
02:18Yes. Andy, put us on. We're gonna be a great duo.
02:22Oh, please, Andy. We need it so bad.
02:24Okay.
02:26You're a legend. Thank you so much for humoring this bullshit.
02:30Of course. See you again.
02:31I'll talk to you soon.
02:32Bye.
02:33All right, bye.
02:34I'm, like, sweating.
02:37Oh my God. Okay.
02:39Save—
02:39A church sent a cease and desist to stop performing my church.
02:44Oh, shit. Okay, I know what to call.
02:46My best friend Karina, because she's—
02:48She's from New Jersey.
02:50And I just feel like she's gonna have a lot to say.
02:56I'm really scared.
02:58Hi.
02:59Hi, babe.
03:00How is New York?
03:02It's good, but, like, the craziest thing happened this morning.
03:06What?
03:07Okay, so, I don't know why, because this song is so old,
03:11but, like, my lawyer got a cease and desist letter from the, like, archdiocese,
03:17the Catholic Church, basically.
03:19I'm not kidding.
03:20To—
03:21What?
03:21To basically cease and desist to stop performing my church.
03:26Can you fucking believe this?
03:28Stop it.
03:29They're asking for a cut of the royalties.
03:31Like, who would I even ask about that?
03:34Is— Are you getting punked? Is this a joke?
03:35No, it's real.
03:37Like, is this the Vatican?
03:38Or, like, is it, like, a local Catholic Church?
03:40Like, we're trying to get to the bottom of it.
03:42Also, do they have a say on everything that involves the word church?
03:48Wait, are they trademarked?
03:49I don't know.
03:51That's ridiculous.
03:52That's insane, right?
03:53I think I'm gonna, like— I mean, I have to fight it.
03:56But how do you fight the church?
03:58What? I cannot believe this.
04:00Okay, can I tell you something?
04:02Yeah.
04:03You're being pranked.
04:04I'm on L right now.
04:07Did my mom call them?
04:13Kathy?
04:15Kathy, your fingerprints are all over this.
04:18Yeah.
04:20You're a d***.
04:23I love you.
04:24Do you allow Elle magazine and its partners to air this recording?
04:29Yes, you d***.
04:31Okay, bye.
04:33Oh, God.
04:36All right.
04:37Call one of the high women and say that you want to do a sophomore album,
04:40but it's only you and men.
04:43All right.
04:45I'm gonna call Amanda Shires, because she would fall for this.
04:50Hello?
04:51Hi.
04:52Hi.
04:53How are you doing?
04:54I mean, pretty good.
04:56How are you?
04:57Good.
04:58How are you doing?
04:59I mean, pretty good, you know?
05:01You know how we've been talking about, like,
05:03the high women need to get in the studio again and, like, make some more music?
05:07Mm-hmm.
05:08Um, I had an idea for the second record.
05:11Oh?
05:12Okay, so it's the high women album two,
05:16but it's just me.
05:18It's just me and three dudes.
05:21You're not in it.
05:22Brandi's not in it.
05:23Natalie's not in it.
05:28But, um, question.
05:29Do we still get to have passes to all the shows you ever perform?
05:33Yeah, like, you can be, like, behind the stage.
05:35You can't be on stage.
05:37Could I make the margaritas?
05:38Done.
05:39Okay, oh, my God.
05:40Do you think the other girls will be into it?
05:42Um, they probably won't take it like I do, but, you know,
05:46I support any woman that wants to be around hot dudes
05:50or hot other ladies or whatever.
05:52I don't know if you said the dudes were gonna be hot or not.
05:54I don't think they're gonna be hot, but I—
05:56Okay.
05:57When I think the high women, I think sex.
06:00Sex sells.
06:01Let's do it.
06:02Let's package it.
06:03They always want us to be packageable.
06:05You'll still get a cut because it is called the high women,
06:08but you just will not be there.
06:11How about just me and you make the new high women record
06:14and see how they go, get on with that?
06:16Oh, my God.
06:18Okay, just FYI, I am obsessed with you.
06:22The higher women.
06:23The higher women.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Oh, my God.
06:27Okay, so I wish that was real, but none of this is real.
06:30This is a prank.
06:32But I like the idea of the ugly guys in the band.
06:36Damn it, man.
06:37Don't get my hopes up.
06:38Go with your dreams.
06:39I'll let you do all the work.
06:40Just bring home the bacon.
06:41Wait.
06:42Like a proper woman.
06:43Come on.
06:44Do you allow Elle magazine and its partners
06:46to air this recording?
06:48Yeah, I do.
06:49They can air anything they want to mine.
06:51Check it out.
06:52All right.
06:53I love you.
06:54I'll text you in a bit.
06:55I love you more.
06:56All right.
06:57Bye.
06:58All right.
06:59She took that really well.
07:00She's like, actually took it a little too well.
07:04That was so much to dump on people.
07:08Thanks for watching.
07:09That made my whole day.
07:10I really put some friends through the paces today.
