Speaker 1: You're listening to joj Just Sewa now with me Jojo
Speaker 1: Seua and iHeartRadio Podcast. Welcome back to JoJo's Sea Now everybody.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, what a life I have lived in the
Speaker 1: last honestly twenty twenty four, honestly twenty one years. I
Speaker 1: don't get how I'm like deep into my twenty one.
Speaker 1: It's like I feel like, I mean, okay, I'm being dramatic.
Speaker 1: It is August, it is September. That's the era we're
Speaker 1: in right now. But I feel like I turned twenty
Speaker 1: one literally yesterday, not three months ago. Like, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's a little criminal. How where did June go?
Speaker 1: Nice to meet you, June. What about July? I forgot
Speaker 1: about her? It's so wild. In the beginning of this year,
Speaker 1: me and my best friend Tyler were like, just make
Speaker 1: it to May. That is all we kept saying, like,
Speaker 1: get through January, get the February, March, April, just make
Speaker 1: it to May. All of a sudden, it was June first,
Speaker 1: and we were like, oh what happened to make it
Speaker 1: to May? We made it to be and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden May is just over done, gone and she
Speaker 1: has passed. And now we are gotta we gotta make
Speaker 1: it to May twenty twenty five. Maybe that's what that's
Speaker 1: what we met. Anyways, my life in the last few
Speaker 1: weeks has gotten so much better than ever before. There's
Speaker 1: been lots of updates. There's been a cat that has
Speaker 1: jumped out of a bag and ran so far away
Speaker 1: that the cat is no longer in the bag anymore.
Speaker 1: That's a joke that my girlfriend and I have. There's
Speaker 1: the big old G word that everyone's been interested in recently.
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, long story short. I have a sweet, sweet, amazing,
Speaker 1: incredible girlfriend who I am so happy and she is
Speaker 1: so happy and we are so happy, and it's interesting
Speaker 1: I and her and I have had this conversation of
Speaker 1: wanting in the beginning, you know, of the initial conversation
Speaker 1: is always, let's keep things private and not post everything
Speaker 1: and share everything and have it be private. And that
Speaker 1: always was me and the driver's seat of that conversation
Speaker 1: with everybody in my life because of my past and
Speaker 1: you know, having public relationships and then being like, absolutely not,
Speaker 1: that's not happening anymore. And so that's kind of where
Speaker 1: I've been for the last two years, has been nineteen
Speaker 1: and twenty but then now, once I started dating her
Speaker 1: her name is Takayla, it's something in my brain like
Speaker 1: fully shifted. And she was kind of in the same
Speaker 1: position of me where she was like, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 1: like not everyone needs to know, like it's chilling. But
Speaker 1: then slowly and naturally both of us were kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know what, like I kind of want people to know,
Speaker 1: like it feels really special, and it feels really good,
Speaker 1: and it feels really sweet, and you're and wholesome, and
Speaker 1: so it's it's a fun, fun thing to get to share.
Speaker 1: And so that's why I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Kat is out of the bag. All
Speaker 1: of our close friends have known obviously, and then it's
Speaker 1: like the extension of friends have known, and then the
Speaker 1: extension of those friends have known, and like word was
Speaker 1: basically out. And then I started to travel around with
Speaker 1: her for a little bit to help her with her
Speaker 1: dance class. She's an incredible dance teacher, and so she's
Speaker 1: been teaching around and I've been her all star assistant
Speaker 1: is what we call me. And so then all the
Speaker 1: kids in the room knew, and so I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, screw it, Just I like subliminally posted,
Speaker 1: and then she subliminally commented, and then I just like
Speaker 1: fully outed us on TikTok caption a post like went
Speaker 1: to my girlfriend's dance class, and believe it or not,
Speaker 1: it was one of the best things that I've ever done.
Speaker 1: It was scary, and I was definitely definitely scared of
Speaker 1: making another relationship public because I haven't had one a
Speaker 1: very public relationship in a very long time. Obviously, people
Speaker 1: have had their speculations, paparazzi has seen things, but I
Speaker 1: haven't been open about a relationship in a very long
Speaker 1: time two years now, and I think that was for
Speaker 1: the better because now I think this is special, and
Speaker 1: I think the world on a big scale understands that
Speaker 1: this is more special. And I for sure do and
Speaker 1: she for sure does, and that's all that matters to me.
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter what the world thinks or the
Speaker 1: approval that the world has. It matters that first and foremost,
Speaker 1: she's happy, and if she's happy, I'm happy and we're good,
Speaker 1: and that is all that matters. So that's my major
Speaker 1: life update. I have a couple of career fun life updates.
Speaker 1: I got to ask you this TV show that I'm
Speaker 1: really excited about. We started my docuseries, which has been
Speaker 1: so much fun. Obviously, new music. We have this song
Speaker 1: that I tease a little bit on TikTok by posting
Speaker 1: a part of the ad libs where it's basically just
Speaker 1: me saying looking over and over and over, and obviously
Speaker 1: that doesn't make sense right now, but it eventually will,
Speaker 1: so stick with me. There. I'm back on Snapchat now,
Speaker 1: which has been a lot of fun. It's been something
Speaker 1: that I've been waiting to really fully commit myself to,
Speaker 1: but I feel like now I'm in a place where
Speaker 1: it's like a really fun commitment for me to make,
Speaker 1: and so committed to Snapchat again, posting every day one
Speaker 1: hundred plus things a day. So go check me out
Speaker 1: over there at It's Jodah see what. But now, enough
Speaker 1: about all of that, Let's jump into today's podcast. This
Speaker 1: is Jojosa now, where I am going to be answering
Speaker 1: five fan questions. Now I've looked around, y'all have asked
Speaker 1: me things, and today it's time to answer what you
Speaker 1: want to know. I always talk about things that I
Speaker 1: want to talk about on here, but today I want
Speaker 1: to talk about what you want to talk about. So
Speaker 1: let's freaking get into it. First question, we are just
Speaker 1: going to start off very very strong. Will you bring
Speaker 1: your girlfriend on the pod? Honestly, I probably would. I
Speaker 1: wonder Let's see. Oh, please stick with me here, everybody,
Speaker 1: Let's see if she would commit to it. Let's find out.
Speaker 1: This will be fun, this will be a fun thing.
Speaker 1: She might still be Oh she is still here, but
Speaker 1: we'll call her. Let's see. Hello. Question for you, okay,
Speaker 1: will you be on my podcast? Yeah? Of course? All right,
Speaker 1: there you have it, everybody. Well, I'm doing fan questions
Speaker 1: today and the first fan question was will your girlfriend
Speaker 1: be on your podcast? And so I said, I said,
Speaker 1: I mean I would, I actually would have her on
Speaker 1: my podcast. So I was that was my formal offer.
Speaker 1: Oh I love it of course that anything for you?
Speaker 1: All right, sounds good. Thank you, go catch you anything,
Speaker 1: all right? I love you, be safe, I love you.
Speaker 1: Go bye bye. All right, there you have a troops.
Speaker 1: She she will partake in a jojesue now, so stay tune.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, wait, that'll be so cute. That would
Speaker 1: be so fun to have her on the podcast. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll do it, I'll do it. I'll come it all.
Speaker 1: She she'll be out here next month, so I will,
Speaker 1: I will get her over here. We'll get her to
Speaker 1: be on Jojesua now and stay tuned. All right, what
Speaker 1: is the scariest thing you have done in your career
Speaker 1: but has helped you oh as a person? That question
Speaker 1: is from Andy. Also, our first question was from Simo.
Speaker 1: Sime s io m y siu SiO me sao me
Speaker 1: like that's right anyways, second question is from Andy. Scariest
Speaker 1: thing that I've done in my career but it's helped
Speaker 1: me go as a person. I mean, obviously it's gonna
Speaker 1: be special Forces. Special Forces was putting me into the
Speaker 1: scariest elements of literal all time, and it was very,
Speaker 1: of course intimidating, but I loved it, no complaints. Besides
Speaker 1: all the injuries that I had. I came home with
Speaker 1: burn on my hand obviously, just torn up skin, insane bruises,
Speaker 1: sore for days, a little bit of a starter in
Speaker 1: an eating situation. But we all, we fixed it all.
Speaker 1: We're good now, we're happy, we're thriving. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: would say Special Forces scariest thing I've done for my career.
Speaker 1: A lot of people think that coming out was a
Speaker 1: scary thing for my career, but it was I mean,
Speaker 1: it was more scary for me to like tell my
Speaker 1: parents that it was the world. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: feel like that's a very natural thing. My parents are
Speaker 1: very loving and accepting, so it was so easy. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't think a lot of things
Speaker 1: are scary. I was really scared when I was on
Speaker 1: Dance Moms, and I told myself after the show, I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I missed out on so
Speaker 1: much fun because I was so scared. Screw being scared.
Speaker 1: I'm done with that, tapping out. No more being scared.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. All right, there's a lot of questions. Next
Speaker 1: one that I want to answer is what is it
Speaker 1: like for me to go out in public? That is
Speaker 1: from Darlene. It's so wild. So I was just actually
Speaker 1: I was in disney Then I'm gonna tell a little
Speaker 1: story and then I'll just go into just more overall
Speaker 1: details about what it's like for me in public. It's
Speaker 1: it's amazing. It's hard, but it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: And anyways, let me tell this specific story. So I
Speaker 1: was in Disneyland recently with one of my best friends,
Speaker 1: ge Flip and then their wife, Krishelle. And Krishelle is
Speaker 1: on Real Awesome Human Being, she is on Selling Sunset.
Speaker 1: She's in a lot of acting movies, TV shows anyways,
Speaker 1: So a lot of people, a lot of people know
Speaker 1: both of them. A lot of people know Flip obviously
Speaker 1: from their music, and a lot of people know Koshelle
Speaker 1: because of selling Sunset. Anyways, a lot of people would
Speaker 1: recognize me, Koshelle or Flip. It wasn't necessarily all three
Speaker 1: of us being recognized at once, right, and Flips people
Speaker 1: would come up to them and be like they're like
Speaker 1: like mask lesbian vibe and come up to them and
Speaker 1: be like, Yo, you're really cool dude, like kind of
Speaker 1: like we're homies type of vibe. Right, and then Koshelle's people,
Speaker 1: Korshelle's fans would come up to her and be like, hey,
Speaker 1: we like we don't want to bug you or draw attention,
Speaker 1: like we know you, we love you. Like they're like
Speaker 1: scared to even like speak above a level two. My
Speaker 1: fans are like jo y'all, sa wah, we love you
Speaker 1: from across Disneyland like the Screamers. Me and Krishelle were
Speaker 1: dying laughing because it was like people were so quiet
Speaker 1: to her and then so loud to me, And I think,
Speaker 1: I think that's a result of the energy that I
Speaker 1: put out there and the energy that I give. People
Speaker 1: give that right back to me, which I freaking love
Speaker 1: in a door, but going out in public with me,
Speaker 1: it's not. I think a lot of times people think
Speaker 1: that it's dreadful, and it's not at all. It just
Speaker 1: is a little more complicated. There's certain things, and I
Speaker 1: think where I'm really lucky is I have just grown
Speaker 1: up slowly gaining said fame or said attention, and so
Speaker 1: now that I'm older, I'm kind of used to it.
Speaker 1: But I I know how to go to target properly, right,
Speaker 1: I can go to target. But it's just like, let
Speaker 1: me go and like know what I'm getting, not lollygag around.
Speaker 1: Let me go and let me wear a certain thing
Speaker 1: or let me park in a certain space, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I can't give away all my secrets.
Speaker 1: But it's kind of just like as long as I
Speaker 1: have certain things that I do, certain practices I guess
Speaker 1: in places when I go out, which are second nature
Speaker 1: to me. And a thing is is like if I
Speaker 1: go out with other people, and other people are annoyed
Speaker 1: that I'm getting stopped or annoyed that people are coming
Speaker 1: out to me. That gets really hard for me because
Speaker 1: obviously that's my life and I don't want to change that,
Speaker 1: nor can I change that, and so that gets tough
Speaker 1: because I'm like, ah, like, I love that, but I
Speaker 1: also love you and I want to hang out with you,
Speaker 1: but you're annoyed by that, and so try to only
Speaker 1: surround myself with people who are good with that. But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not dreadful at all to go out.
Speaker 1: I really enjoy it. I like to go places alone.
Speaker 1: I think that's because when I was younger, I didn't
Speaker 1: have much independence, and so I love I love to
Speaker 1: go places alone. Just do my thing, lollygag around and
Speaker 1: go quick. I'm on a speed mission always. I will say.
Speaker 1: The one place that I find very hard to go
Speaker 1: is to malls. And it's not for the reason you
Speaker 1: would expect. Obviously, malls. I get a little bit overwhelmed
Speaker 1: with fans because it is that age, right, it is
Speaker 1: the teenager age, and so it's very It's almost as
Speaker 1: if everybody in there is looking or staring, but a
Speaker 1: little bit of a deep, dark story is when I
Speaker 1: was little, I was only five years old, but I
Speaker 1: was in the Vondmar shooting in Omaha, Nebraska, and that
Speaker 1: was in a mall, and that was a very bad,
Speaker 1: so sad, tragic mass shooting. And my mom and I
Speaker 1: were at the mall. We were actually in vond Mar,
Speaker 1: and we are very very lucky that nothing happened to
Speaker 1: us because long story short, my mom wanted to buy
Speaker 1: a skirt for me, and then as she walked up
Speaker 1: to the cash register, she's walking up to the Children's
Speaker 1: department cash register, she realized that it didn't have sequence
Speaker 1: on the back, so she put it back, and as
Speaker 1: we're putting it back, that's when gunshots went off and
Speaker 1: she scowed me up. We ran out of the building,
Speaker 1: but the gunman went to the Children's department cash register.
Speaker 1: And so thank god there was no sequence on the
Speaker 1: back of that skirt, because life would be very very
Speaker 1: different now if there was, And so very happy that
Speaker 1: Vonmar did not put sequence on the back of that skirt.
Speaker 1: Lesson to be learned here. Something doesn't have sequence all
Speaker 1: the way around. It's not the one for you. And
Speaker 1: so for me when I go in malls, I'm good
Speaker 1: as long as we're like on a mission, go and
Speaker 1: get your thing and get out. But if we kind
Speaker 1: of are just like walking around, I'll get very antsy
Speaker 1: and very anxious. And it's dramatic, but it's it's a
Speaker 1: weird thing. Obviously I don't remember it because I was five,
Speaker 1: but your body does have a way of being like ah, danger,
Speaker 1: which blows my mind. It's kind of crazy. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I love going out. I love people's reactions. I love
Speaker 1: when people don't think that I can see them. That
Speaker 1: also makes me so happy. Like all I see everything,
Speaker 1: I hear everything. I can hear from all angles. I'll
Speaker 1: be with people and like Jojo, someone's behind you taking
Speaker 1: a video. I'm like, I know, like I knew ten
Speaker 1: minutes ago, you know what I mean. Like I can
Speaker 1: see them coming, I can see them when they see me,
Speaker 1: Like I'm very very aware. But we were just at
Speaker 1: Dutch Bros. And we pull away and the workers were
Speaker 1: playing it all cool and then I drive off and
Speaker 1: my windows still down and you just hear scream scream
Speaker 1: with excitement. It was the cutest freaking thing literally ever.
Speaker 1: All right, next question is from Frankie. Will you do
Speaker 1: more dancing shows? I would freaking love to I say
Speaker 1: all the time to the producer of Dancing with the Stars,
Speaker 1: I'm like, ready for All Stars season. Come on, maybe
Speaker 1: give it to me, give me the All Stars season.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like mass dnswer isn't really
Speaker 1: a thing anymore. Uh. And of course, so you think
Speaker 1: you can answer now I'm on the judge's side of
Speaker 1: and so I wouldn't, you know, venture into contestants world.
Speaker 1: But I truly, I truly would. I love it. I
Speaker 1: love dancing. I think it's so fun. So if if
Speaker 1: a show comes up, I just love reality shows, put
Speaker 1: me on, put me in coach like I am. I
Speaker 1: am absolutely ready. I think it's I think it's I
Speaker 1: think it's fun. I think the healthy competition while making
Speaker 1: a show, there's nothing wrong with that. All right, our
Speaker 1: last question for the day, Oh my gosh, there's so many,
Speaker 1: so many good ones from you all, but Vanessa had
Speaker 1: one that I am very excited to answer, and that is,
Speaker 1: what are some goals that I want to accomplish in
Speaker 1: the next five years. If you know me, you know
Speaker 1: that I have a super maternal instinct. And obviously I've
Speaker 1: talked about Freddie Eddie and Teddy plenty for enough people
Speaker 1: to know about the little kiddos. It was actually in
Speaker 1: Disney again. This is just a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: same Disney trip, and this mom comes up to me
Speaker 1: and she's like, Shojo, look at my boy. He's blond hair,
Speaker 1: blue eyes, and his name is Teddy. And she was
Speaker 1: so excited, freaking out, and like obviously there was like
Speaker 1: the like joke of like Freddy, Eddie and Teddy and
Speaker 1: his name really was Teddy, and it just it made
Speaker 1: my heart so happy, and so yeah, in the next
Speaker 1: five years, I definitely, I don't know if I'll want
Speaker 1: if I'll have the three kids by now. Of course
Speaker 1: I've tossed out the idea of triplets. I've tossed out
Speaker 1: the idea of Freddie being older and then the twin
Speaker 1: boys being younger, of the twin boys being older and
Speaker 1: then Freddie being younger. But I definitely in the next
Speaker 1: five years want at least a kid. I want to
Speaker 1: start a family. I love kids. I think that there's
Speaker 1: nothing more special in bringing kids into this world and
Speaker 1: protecting them and you know, creating lives that are are
Speaker 1: happy and healthy. I I really want to just do
Speaker 1: life with a kid. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: see my busy life and they're like, you need to
Speaker 1: like explore and go trouble word, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: want to, but with a kid. Like I don't want
Speaker 1: to go to Cabbo and drink with my friends. I
Speaker 1: want to go to Orlando and go to Disney World
Speaker 1: with my baby. You know what I mean. That's my vibe.
Speaker 1: That's my healthy, wholesome vibe. Aside from that, this goal
Speaker 1: is definitely more than five years in the future, but
Speaker 1: I would love to play the Super Bowl halftime show.
Speaker 1: That is my ultimate dream. I think that'd be so crazy,
Speaker 1: so cool. I really want one day. I don't know
Speaker 1: if this could be in the next five years or
Speaker 1: if it could never happen, but it is a dream
Speaker 1: of vibe for sure. That is to be the first
Speaker 1: ever female to play Hamilton. I think that would be
Speaker 1: so fun, whether it's on Broadway, off Broadway, on a tour,
Speaker 1: I think just playing the first female to play Hamilton
Speaker 1: would be so freaking cool. Man. There's so many goals
Speaker 1: that I want to achieve. I just want to keep
Speaker 1: releasing music. I want to go back on tour. Being
Speaker 1: on tours my favorite thing ever, I think revisiting venues
Speaker 1: that I did when I was a kid, visiting the
Speaker 1: KFC Young Center in Louisville and the O two Arena
Speaker 1: in London. I think it would be so much fun
Speaker 1: to like relive those lives. But as I am now
Speaker 1: as an adult, I think that'd be a really, really
Speaker 1: good time. So that's definitely on my agenda of things
Speaker 1: that I want to do is go back on tour.
Speaker 1: So much to accomplish. In five years, man, I'll be
Speaker 1: twenty six. Man by that time, I want to have
Speaker 1: a two year old, maybe a three year old. We'll see.
Speaker 1: That's my like, that's my number one lit Little Freddy
Speaker 1: as of now, Little Freddy, We'll see. Stay tuned, all right, everybody,
