And that’s… it’s gonna be I guess a lot more alone time, which I’m not mad about that either," Shelton expressed, as he quipped: "But we still have Apollo, so we have another almost 10 years before we can kick him out, so it should be a lot of fun."

I absolutely love being the person that gets to introduce them to that stuff."
