    They have great chemistry together, would love to see them host a talk show together! Hope someone makes it happen! 🙌🏾

      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!

    have remained friends.. ❤️❤️.

    Clay said "if my anti depressants weren't workin' so good i'd be cryin'" and I felt that to my core. They're so fun together.

      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.

      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.
