Speaker 1: Siwa and this is me. Now. I feel like I

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: need some sort of official intro. You know, when I

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: was a kid and I did YouTube, I head, hey,

00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: everyone is joy on, welcome, But I feel like Jojosuwan

9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: now I need like a like solid I say this

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: every time, or maybe I don't because you know, I'm

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: different now, so maybe that's the whole point of not

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: having Ninja. I don't know. Anyways, not the point of today.

13
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Point of today is I am doing a Q and

14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: A for the first time since I stopped doing JoJo's

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: Juice years ago. I just have this thing on my

16
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: YouTube channel called JoJo's Juice where every Wednesday and answer

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: questions off of Twitter and then I would pour a

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: different juice on my head. So you gotta juice on

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: my life and then juice over my head. Today you

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,319
Speaker 1: are getting the juice on my life, but you are

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: not getting the juice over my head, and mainly because

22
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: this is audio. But uh, even if it was video,

23
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: believe it or not, I wouldn't do that anymore. That's

24
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: such a lie. I so would. I love Jo Justice.

25
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: That was so fun. Anyways, Hi, welcome back to Jon

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: just one Now today, I am so stoked. You know,

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of podcasts now where I've had

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: my friends on, We've gotten to talk about our shared experiences.

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Sother that'd be TV shows, life experiences, learning curves, all

30
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: the things. But today we are taking it right back

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: to the roots. Now we are gonna do a straight

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: up Q and A. I asked you guys for questions

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: on my Instagram at it's Jojasiwa. You sent them in

34
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: and I got lots of good questions to answer, and

35
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: I tried my best to pick a variety of questions,

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: you know, throughout career things to personal things, to advise

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: things to also things that just were things that I

38
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: haven't talked about necessarily, or answers that are much deeper

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: than just a quick, little one sentence. So buckle up,

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: because we're gonna we're gonna get real deep. We're gonna

41
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: get really deep right now. And I I don't even

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: know if I'm coy ready for this, but here we go.

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: We're starting off so strong. At JoJo's Underscore, paparazzi asked

44
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: if you had kids, what would you name them? And

45
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: I when I saw this question, I specifically flagged it

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: because I am so in love with my idea for

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: kids right now. For their names. All three of my

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: kids will have the same middle name, and their middle

49
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: name will just be E, just the letter E and

50
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: all of their names. So I would love to have triplets,

51
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: two boys, one girl. That's like my ideal right now.

52
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: Of course, all I want is healthy babies, but right

53
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: now I'm in a phase where I want triplets, two boys,

54
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: one girl. The girl's name is fred E because Freddie

55
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: with the E initial. Then the two boys are ted

56
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: and Ed. So I'll have Freddy, Eddie and Teddy. I

57
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: am obsessed with there right now. I just the idea

58
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: of being like fred ed ted Come here, Freddie, Eddie Teddy,

59
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Like where am I? Where's Freddy Eddie and Teddy? Like

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: I just uh, I think decorating the room and like

61
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: putting their little names Freddy, Eddie Teddy, like, I just

62
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: think it's so cute but fred E ted E ed E,

63
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think it's cute anyways. Oh gosh,

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: my poor kids. Oh I'm so excited to have babies

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: one day. It's gonna be the best. But Kansei se

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: Whenater asked what moment in time would you like to

67
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: relive slash do again, this is a question that I

68
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: think about actually all the time, because there's been so

69
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: many amazing faces in my life. I mean, of course,

70
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: Dance Moms, Abby's Ultimate dance Competition, Dancing with the Stars,

71
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: Special Forces, as hard and torturess as it was, I

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: would love to live it again. Think if I could

73
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: pick a time of my life that I would only

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: relive again, it would actually be Special Forces only because

75
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: it was so short. You know. Special Forces was about

76
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: a week long, little over a week long, and so

77
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: the fact that it was so quick, you know, Dancing

78
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: with the Stars is seventy five days, Dance Ang was

79
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: two years. I got to really soak it up. But

80
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: I feel like those projects for me would be would

81
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: be my like winner. I think special Forces also, though

82
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: Dream the Tour era, I loved being on tour. My

83
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: concert tour was my favorite thing ever. I think if

84
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: I could time travel, I'd go to like Top of

85
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, because then I would relive Dream the Tour again,

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: real live Dancing to the Stars, relive mess Singer, relive

87
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Special Forces, relive coming out, relive falling in love for

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: the first time. Like I'd get to relive all of

89
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: my best moments. So I feel like I feel like

90
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: that would be my vibe. Top of twenty nineteen. Ooh,

91
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Kaylee Kaylee's sixty four Kaylee sixty four Underscore, There we go,

92
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: There so he us name. Kaylee sixty four Underscore asked

93
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: would you ever have any x's on the podcast? This question?

94
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: I actually was so interested by my own inner thoughts

95
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: because instantly my thought was like, yes, I totally would.

96
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: But then I was like, but wait, who, which one

97
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: and and and why? And what would you talk about?

98
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: And I don't, I don't, I don't know. I my

99
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: initial answer is yes, because I would. I would welcome

100
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: anybody to come on jojyesy and now that would be

101
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: willing to talk about their life experiences and things they've

102
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: gone through. And I think something about me, is I

103
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: really choose to look at my past and be grateful

104
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: for it and so even though you know, obviously, because

105
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm not with any of them anymore and they're all

106
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: my exes, even though things didn't work out between us, truly,

107
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: I am so grateful for each and every one of

108
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: them because they I mean, I'm speaking like I have

109
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: fifty I have really two real ones. I have like

110
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: three fake ones, but like two real ones. And the

111
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: thing is is like they both came into my life

112
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: for a reason, and I'm very very grateful for that.

113
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: They both taught me a lot of lessons, and they

114
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: both taught me a lot of experience, and I'm very

115
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: grateful for everyone that's come on to my bus and

116
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: hopped on and hopped off. But the reality of it

117
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: is is I'm so young, only twenty years old, and

118
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, my first relationship start when I was seventeen,

119
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: my second when I was nineteen, And so the thought

120
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: of like it's it's okay where young, like life moves

121
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: on and like odds are a teenage couple isn't gonna

122
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: work out. And so I think I have a really

123
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: clear perspective on like it's okay, there doesn't need to

124
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: be bad blood. Obviously, a lot more went on that

125
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: than the world sees on the internet, and that can

126
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: get kind of hard to see because you kind of

127
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: get wrapped up in what the internet thinks. But yeah, no,

128
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm not not opposed to having my ex's on the podcast.

129
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I think I'd be really stressed the

130
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: day that they're here, But yeah, I think it'd be

131
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. Maybe not anytime soon. I feel like

132
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: I need like a year to prep for that. Levia

133
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: Elizabeth asked, have you gone to therapy like that wasn't

134
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: required by Special Forces? This question I thought was super

135
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: important to answer. I haven't. I never have. I've been

136
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: on a lot of dramatic TV shows, Dance Moms, we

137
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: had a set psychiatrist who was there for us if

138
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: we ever needed her. Never needed her, but she was

139
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,559
Speaker 1: always there. And then Special Forces we have required therapy.

140
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm done with all the therapy. I

141
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: might have to do more towards the end anyways, But

142
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: you for Forces the therapy. I actually didn't think I

143
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: was gonna need it. I was like, ah, I'm chilling,

144
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm good. Then once trailers and stuff started to come

145
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: out and I started to see things again, I was like, ooh, hey, buddy,

146
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: can we do a chat? Like I did really need

147
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: it and it was the first time in my life

148
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: that I ever felt like I needed to talk to somebody.

149
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I have a really

150
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: really good support system around me, and I think that

151
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: if you are comfortable enough to be able to chat

152
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: with your your friends and family about your life, then

153
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: that's a blessing. But also sometimes it's the right step

154
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: is to get professional and professional help and a professional therapist.

155
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: But for me personally, I don't know. I've just kind

156
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: of found my right dynamic in my own skin with

157
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: my friends, with my family, and I've never gone to therapy.

158
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: I think I need it. I think I should go.

159
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: I think I have a lot that I don't even

160
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: realize that I just keep inside me. But I don't know.

161
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: I just it's never been something that It's never been

162
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: a can of worms that I've opened, and I I

163
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: don't know if it ever will be, But if it

164
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: ever is, then hey it is, there's nothing wrong with it.

165
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: What was your favorite dance that you did in Dancing

00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: oh one. Hey, Lily Beth favorite dancing with the Stars Dance,

168
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: I mean gosh, I watched the Dancing with the Stars

Speaker 1: dances all the time, So we got are You Gonna

170
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: Be My Girl? Which was our quick step. We had

171
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: our rain on me Cha Cha, Argentine tango, Hit Me

172
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: Baby One More Time, Viennie's waltz to Dreams with Your

173
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: Heartmakes Pas do Blay to Disney's Descendants Ways to Be Wicked,

174
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: What do we do? After that? After that was Sandy

175
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: and Frenchy, which was a foxtrot for Greece, and then

176
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: we did Next. The next week was Pennywise, which was

177
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: our jazz anything Goes. The next week was Queen Weeks,

178
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: so we did tango to Body Language and then another

179
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: foxtrot and the relay to under Pressure. So that was

180
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: Janet Jackson week, where we did a salset of feedback

181
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: and we did That's the Way I Love Goes. We

182
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: had a rumbach dance I Love and then it was

183
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: uh Semi Finals weeks. We had an Argentine tango to

184
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: a song called Santa Maria, and we had our contemporary

185
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: to anything Not Anything Goes Before You Goes what that

186
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: one was called? And then the finale we had our

187
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: freestyle of Born This Way and Our Cha Shat Tango

188
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,599
Speaker 1: fusion too. I don't care, I love it, gosh. My

189
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: favorite is probably between Sandy and Frenchy Foxtrot. I really

190
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: loved the feeling of that dance. Wasn't necessarily my favorite

191
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: Steps to Do, Steps to Do. I love Pennywise and

192
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: I love Our Contemporary because those dances just they felt

193
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: so comfortable for me because I'd done them before. You know,

194
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: I grew up being a competitive dancer and so, but

195
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: not anything ballroom, so any ballroom styles, Latin styles that

196
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: that was out of my comfort zone. But when it

197
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: came time to do contemporary and jazz, you know, I

198
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: I had done that before, never partnering, but I knew

199
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: what I was getting myself into. So probably those two

200
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: in Sanmium Frenchy, those were those are my favorites. What

201
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: did Special Forces make you realize so much? Special Forces?

202
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: This question comes from Ambar Underscore Basketball special Forces. I mean,

203
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: it really did make me realize so much. It made

204
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: me realize the things that I cared about, the people

205
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: that I cared about, what mattered to me, what didn't

206
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: matter to me? Uh, I don't know. I think I

207
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: had I had a very I've always had a pretty

208
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: clear perspective on life, and I've always kind of been

209
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: able to see bigger picture and things. But I think

210
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: maybe in Special Forces I was actually able to see

211
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: the smaller picture of like, hey, look, maybe the future

212
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter so much. Maybe the present actually matters the

213
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: most more than the future does. And so I was

214
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: able to kind of find a clear balance. I actually

215
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: recently just got upset at myself because I told myself,

216
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: after Special Forces, I wasn't going to put my career

217
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: first anymore. I was gonna put my fun first, my

218
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: friendships first, my life first. But it's a fine line

219
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: because my life is my career. And I recently was

220
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: just in Florida with Tyler Cameron, who I did Special

221
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: Forces with. He's like, I mean, he's more than a

222
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: brother to me. Now. I love that boy. And then

223
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: my brother is also in Florida now, so I got

224
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: to see my biological brother Jayden, and I got to

225
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: see his girlfriend Abby, and I got to see my

226
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Special Forces brother Tyler, and I was having a really

227
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: good time and I got asked to come home to

228
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: do a concert with a new friend. Their name is

229
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: g Flip and G asked me to come perform with them,

230
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: and initially my answer was actually no because I was like,

231
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: I'm in Florida. I can't make it work. And then

232
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: I was like, no, Jojo, you do not say no

233
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: to g Flip. Get your ass on a plane and

234
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: get home. So I rearranged my travel schedule and I

235
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna do it fine.

236
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: So I was supposed to be in Florida for a week.

237
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: I had to cut my trip short. I was only

238
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: there for like a day, day and a half and

239
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: it was super last minute. It was very hectic, but

240
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, what's what we do. And

241
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: as I was on the plane ride home, I remember

242
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: like I actually started like cry when I was telling

243
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: my mom about this because I was having a lot

244
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: of fun in Florida, and I told my mom, I

245
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: was like, I did exactly what I said. I wasn't

246
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: gonna do. I'm coming home to perform when I was

247
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: having fun with my friends and it wasn't work. We

248
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: were supposed to go on a boat the next day.

249
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: Then I was gonna go back up and indoor skydide

250
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: with my brother, like supposed to be like pure fun

251
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: for the weekend, and I was gonna be a little break,

252
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: and I told myself. I was like, I'm doing exactly

253
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: what I said I was gonna do, Like I came

254
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: home to perform, like I came home to work, Like, Yeah,

255
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun and I'm excited to do with G.

256
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: But like I'm just I was sad. I was mad

257
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: at myself. But then I was like okay, Jojo, like

258
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: you gotta get over it. You're doing it like you

259
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: did it. You're here, You're not taking another six hours,

260
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: like back to Florida, Like what are you gonna do?

261
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: So I was like all right, found some fire. Went

262
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: to sound check, and immediately when I walked in and

263
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: it was my first time actually meeting G in person,

264
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: I knew that I had made the right choice. And

265
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: it was hard because I was mad at myself for

266
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: a second. But then once I walked into that sound check,

267
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is the best place I

268
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: could be right now. And I had so much fun

269
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: at soundcheck with G and with Lauren. They're both amazing.

270
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: And then when it came time for the concert, like

271
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: I literally was like this was the best choice I

272
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: ever made, and it it kind of made me realize, like, look,

273
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: it's not about putting your life first, it's not about

274
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: putting your career first. It's all about balance. This was

275
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: a moment that I had a choice of priority or fun,

276
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: and I chose priority when I told myself I was

277
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: going to choose fun from now on, but I picked priority,

278
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: and then I feel like the universe rewarded me by

279
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: picking the right choice, by making the right choice so

280
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: much fun. I mean, it literally was the best night ever.

281
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: I have a photo from that night now as my

282
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: lock screen because I always set my lock screen to

283
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: something that can make me instantly happy, and that photo

284
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: is what can make me instantly happy right now is

285
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: remembering that night, remembering performing with G and Laura and god,

286
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: it was just I mean, it was the best night

292
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: It was tough, but like I do not regret it

335
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: was like, you have no idea, Like this was a

336
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: fun night, but this was an inspiring night for me,

337
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: Like I best Night and g and Lauren are the

338
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: coolest freaking people in the world. Helliker aldc asked me,

339
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: how did I come out to my mother? My mom

340
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: actually made my coming out to her super easy. Uh,

341
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: I I was. I can't. I was not scared to

342
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: come out, but afraid to come out. I know those

343
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: have very similar meanings. But I wasn't scared like, Ooh,

344
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: my family's gonna hate me. I was scared, like, what's

345
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: my family gonna think that? I don't know? You know

346
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: what I mean? I was kind of afraid of I

347
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: was afraid of the unknown. And everyone kind of caught

348
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: a vibe between me and the very first girl that

349
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: I liked, and everyone kind of knew that, Like, oh,

350
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: I was like very open to the LGBTQ community. I

351
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: was very accepting, very celebrating. It was celebratory more than

352
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 1: the average person, more than somebody who isn't a part

353
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: of the LGBTQ community, you know what I mean? Like

354
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: I feel like there's I mean, I can speak as

355
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: my family. Everybody else in my family besides me is straight.

356
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: Sexuality is fluid, so that could change out any point

357
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: in time, but everyone in my family is straight, and

358
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: for a time I was. I guess I was never straight,

359
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: but we'll say I was. I'm pretty sure there's a

360
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: question about that coming up anyways, But I just I

361
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 1: don't know. I was always just a little more everyone

362
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: was accepting, but I was a little more excited about

363
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: the gays than everybody else. And so everyone kind of

364
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: caught a vibe between me and this girl who ended

365
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: up becoming my first girlfriend, and my mom kind of

366
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: asked me about it, and I was like, no, no, nothing, nothing, nothing,

367
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: but in my head I knew what I was feeling.

368
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: And then after, I mean art, we were on a

369
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: vacation together and our vacation ended, and my mom was like,

370
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: you really like her, don't you, And we weren't with

371
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: her anymore. I just say goodbye, and I was in

372
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: the car and I was crying. I was like yeah,

373
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: and my mom was like, do you like her as

374
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: a friend or is more than a friend? And I

375
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: was like more than a friend and my mom was

376
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: like I figured, and I was like, yeah, Like is

377
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: she I don't know. I always told myself. I was like,

378
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: I will only ever this is what I always said.

379
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: I said, I will only ever come out if I

380
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: have a reason to or if I met Lady Gaga.

381
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I always had this plan

382
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: that if I ever saw Lady Gaga, I was gonna

383
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: tell her. Look, I've never told anyone this, but I

384
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: think I like girls. That was like always, like literally

385
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: twelve year old me's game plan was like, Lady Gaga,

386
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: I can tell Lady Gaga because I I don't know.

387
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: I just felt like Aga would have been like that

388
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: safe space for me to be able to be the

389
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: first person to come out to. So one day, if

390
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: I have a megg, I will I will tell her that.

391
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: Still I'll be like, look, the whole world now now knows,

392
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: but you were going to be the first person that

393
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: I told because I just I don't know. Something in

394
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: my head was like, you can tell Gaga and she'll

395
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: be all right with it. But now, I mean my

396
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: coming out was was was simple because my people around

397
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: me made it simple. My people around me were very open.

398
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: My people around me asked, and I now had a

399
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: reason to say, yes, you know, if I didn't like

400
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: a girl, or I wasn't with a girl, or say

401
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: I still say I like the girl but nothing happened

402
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: between us. I still would have just been like, oh no,

403
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: but I couldn't deny it anymore. You know, it was

404
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: right there in front of me. I had now kissed

405
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: a girl, and it was like, whoa, this is real.

406
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: You actually have a feeling, like what is this? And

407
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: I don't know it. It was a sweet, very innocent crush,

408
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: and I just I couldn't. I couldn't hide from it anymore.

409
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: It just was what it was, so I had no

410
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: problem being open about it. Joe, this is actually this

411
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: question is actually from the same person. This question is

412
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: from Hillick or aldc as well. They said, Jojo, do

413
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: you know the order of the solos? I don't. I

414
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: never got told the order of the solos. Even that

415
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: day they were like, not mine telling you five broke out.

416
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: Still don't know the order solos. And if you if

417
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: you don't know what I'm talking about right now, then

418
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: you're just too much to explain. Amber Underscore Basketball. Oh

419
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: my gosh, we got another Amber Underscore basketball. How's it

420
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: balancing your life with family and people you work with

421
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: or your job? That is an incredible question. You know,

422
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: it's it comes in phases. You know, there's times when

423
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: my job requires more attention than my family and friends.

424
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: And there's times when my family and friends require more

425
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: attention than my my job. You know, I always said

426
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm lucky because my career I've been doing it long

427
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: enough now that I can just kind of do it

428
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: muscle memory without thinking, you know, growing up, like I

429
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: had to think from the time I was nine to

430
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: probably seventeen, and then once I turned seventeen, it was

431
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: like clockwork. I could do anything that I had learned

432
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: in the past eight years, the same way that think

433
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: about a normal person, would you know, graduate high school

434
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: at eighteen, they'd kind of take a few years, maybe

435
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 1: we'll just say eight years, they'd take till they were

436
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: twenty six to kind of figure it out, and then

437
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: when you're twenty six, you kind of like you got

438
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: a groove. I found that groove from the time I

439
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: was I mean literally like ten to ten to eighteen,

440
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: and so I think I'm very luckier. I even guess

441
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: nine to seventeen is what I was saying earlier that

442
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: now it's like I can kind of do my job

443
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: without thinking. The only thing is that requires a lot

444
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: of time and a lot of energy, and so a

445
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of the times I'm just drained. My mom and

446
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: I are pretty actually codependent in the workplace, and that's

447
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: just because we've been fifty to fifty my whole life.

448
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: But now that I'm getting older, you know kind of

449
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: this dynamic where it's like I don't need her help

450
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: on everything, and she doesn't need my help on everything.

451
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: And so we have a few code sayings now that

452
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: we're saying and we tend to overwork, so you know,

453
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: we'll work at night, we'll talk about work when somebody

454
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: necessarily doesn't want to. So we just literally within this

455
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: last week, put a few rules in place, and there's

456
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: two of them. Number one, at any point in time

457
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: that is not between the hours of nine to five,

458
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: So say it's eight in the morning or six pm

459
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: at night or later. You know what I mean, you

460
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: can call Dolly Parton. And that is if my mom

461
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: is talking to me at eleven PM at night about

462
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: something for work, I can say Dolly Parton and that means,

463
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: I am I wanted to talk about this, but I've

464
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: just had a day and I've worked a lot today

465
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: and I just don't have the energy. I mean to

466
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: talk about it at ten o'clock at night, and she

467
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: then the other person has the rule that they can't

468
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: get offended by that and they just have to hold

469
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: it intil the morning, make a list, write it down,

470
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: or if it is super important, they can ask for

471
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: a hall pass. We haven't had to do the hallpase yet,

472
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: but that's kind of our New Dolly parton saying is

473
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: kind of just to be a boundary of like, hey,

474
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: look like I want to work, but just not right now.

475
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: And then another one that we just put in place

476
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: is so that way we don't feel like we have

477
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: to be so codependent. What'll happen a lot is she'll

478
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: ask for my opinion on something. We're all asked for

479
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: her opinion on something. Sometimes you do want the opinion,

480
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: other times you just want the validation. And for me

481
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: that would be like if I was, you know, putting

482
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: on an outfit and like I needed her validation on

483
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: like what I was wearing. Right, she can knock three

484
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: times knock knock knock, and that means that, look, I

485
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: just I don't care. Don't be offended that I don't care,

486
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: but I just don't care. And it's a solo project

487
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: and the reason it's knock knock knock, it's because Miley

488
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: Cyrus has a song on my own and is I'll

489
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: do it on my own and it goes three knocks

490
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: at the door and it has that in it. And

491
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: so say she's doing a project and she goes, Jojo,

492
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: what what order of the song should XOMG sing? And

493
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: I'll say in order and she'll be like okay, But

494
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: like wait, I was like I already had it wrote

495
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: down like this, and then I can just knock three times,

496
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: cause like, look, that's solo project, Like you already have

497
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: it in your head. You're just looking for my validation

498
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: of yours, So knock, knock, knock. I care about you.

499
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: I care about this, but I don't care about that,

500
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it's it's not a

501
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: bitchy I don't care. It's more just like, uh, you

502
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: got this. You don't need you don't need my validation

503
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: on this. You will get it no matter what you know.

504
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: So that's kind of our new saying, and that's really

505
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: helped balance things. Yeah, No, I mean, it's it's it's tough.

506
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: It's hard. Is our our life is our work, and

507
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: that's a hard balance to figure out. And that's why

508
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: I always say it's not for everybody. I always tell

509
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: my girl group kids, if you don't love it now,

510
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: you're never gonna love it, So stop, you know, if

511
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: you don't wanna, if you you're so young that if

512
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: you're if you feel like you're not right for this,

513
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: don't do it. And all my girl group kids are

514
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: freaking amazing. I'm so proud of those kids. They're strong

515
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: as little kidos ever, they're awesome. Levy Elizabeth back with

516
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: another question. They asked, have you apologized to any of

517
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: the Dance Mom girls for invalidating their trauma since reuniting.

518
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: This is something that when I got asked this question,

519
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: I realized it was kind of a deeper, deeper picture

520
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: that I would like to talk about. I over the

521
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: last few years have, honestly, I can't even say last

522
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: few years, last few months, have learned other people's experiences,

523
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: and that is something that when you put that into perspective,

524
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: it changes a lot. It changes a lot about how

525
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: you think about things, how you think about people, how

526
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: you respond to people. Is really understanding someone else's perspective.

527
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: And I can say that that's something that I'm grateful

528
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: that I've grown from. Now. The thing is is we did.

529
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: I will say we did. On the reunion, we talked

530
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: about the trauma that I talked about online publicly. The

531
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: only ever ways that I've shaded people Dance Moms wise

532
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: is Brooke made a joke about Abby online, which I

533
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: learned it was a joke and you'll hear more about

534
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: this in the reunion and I said, look, it's one

535
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: thing to say it, but to just deny it. But

536
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: it's an abbe Le account, not Abby herself. Friend requestedt Brooke,

537
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: and Brooke was like, uh what. I at the time

538
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: thought she was being serious. She was making a joke

539
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: like she knew it was an Abby, she was making

540
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 1: cracking a joke about it. I commented, it's one thing

541
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: to just deny, but it's another to post about it.

542
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: Just keeps something like this to yourself. Now, that is

543
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: something that I still do believe. That is, if you

544
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: don't have something that is positive to say about somebody,

545
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: then just like look, keep it to yourself. However, I

546
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: also believe in standing up for your people, and I

547
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: think Brooke was standing up for herself that post. And

548
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: I think I was standing up for my friend by

549
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: that post. And I didn't know book at the time. Now,

550
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: Brooke and I are very cool with each other. We've

551
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: had some incredible talks, like it's been it's been really great.

552
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: But it's it's I don't know, I think something got

553
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: put into my head of like, look, the same way

554
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: it's okay for you to defend your friend, it's also

555
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: okay for her to defend herself. So if I go

556
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: back in time, probably just wouldn't take the effort to comment,

557
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, I'd probably just also

558
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: keep my opinion to myself, which is something that I've learned,

559
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, throughout a lot of situations on the internet,

560
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: specifically for me, like with the Cannas Cameron situation with

561
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: my exes. The only time now that I will speak

562
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: about somebody is if I am being accused of something

563
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: that I didn't do or didn't didn't happen, which did

564
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: happen recently a few a few lies have been said

565
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: about me, And look, a story is a story. There's

566
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: always going to be multiple sides of the story. There's

567
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: always going to be one side, A side, B side,

568
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: and then there's gonna be the truth. And I don't,

569
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I think I've learned that it's okay for

570
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: someone to share their side as long as it doesn't

571
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: hurt somebody else. And that happened to me where somebody

572
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: was sharing their side, but there was a lot of

573
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: lies on their side to glorify them when I actually

574
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: legally can't talk about what happened. And that's something that

575
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: you know, gets hard when people are saying something online

576
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: about you and coming at you and then blaming at you.

577
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: But people people can't even know the truth because I

578
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: can't legally talk about the truth, and that that is

579
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: hard because it's you're just seeing the comments every single

580
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: day and you're seeing people tell you're a bad person

581
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: every single day, and you ruin this person, and I'm like,

582
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: you don't even know the start of it, not even

583
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: the half of it. You don't even know a fourth

584
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: of it. Like it's and so people, I've learned, really

585
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: love to believe lies on the internet. It is so

586
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: fun for people to believe, and a lot of things

587
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: are true, a lot of things are twisted, and a

588
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: lot of things are false, and people love to jump

589
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: and agree and join the most dramatic because it's the

590
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: most entertaining, and people like what's entertaining. Think about dance moms.

591
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: You don't remember the fun good days. You remember the fights.

592
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: People like the entertaining stuff. Think about vander Pump. Tell

593
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: me one other thing that's happened on vander Pump. I gonna.

594
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: I've never watched vander Pump. I don't know, but I

595
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: sure as hell know about Scandabal, not just because I'm

596
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: friends with him, but after the fact of Special Forces,

597
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: everyone's been like, oh my god, so tell me about

598
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: Tom Standibal And I'm like, that's the one thing people remember,

599
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But long story short, I've

600
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: learned that it's it's it's a shit thing to do

601
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: to invalidate someone else's feelings. And that is something that

602
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: I have done a few times and I've definitely learned.

603
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: But it is okay to stand up for yourself, and

604
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: it is okay to stand up for your friends. And overall,

605
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: people are going to pick sides. It's gonna happen. I

606
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: wish it didn't have to happen, but it does happen,

607
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: and people will. And just remember that in life, no

608
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: matter what, time keeps moving and time keeps going on,

609
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: and we only have so long on this earth. Unfortunately,

610
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: the world today loves to focus on the bad, but

611
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: there is good, So don't get lost and caught up

612
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,479
Speaker 1: in the bad. Remember the good. Oh, and then back

613
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: to the original question invalidating the trauma. The other thing

614
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: was Christie. I responded to Christy because she was saying

615
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: bad things about Gianna, and Gianna is somebody that I

616
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: love and adoor still to this day. She is the

617
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: freaking awesomest again me realizing people did have different experiences,

618
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: but also me realizing that Christy is a forty seven

619
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: year old woman. She should know not to say mean

620
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: things about someone on the internet, which I also didn't

621
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: know the lesson at the time, And I think Christy

622
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: probably learned the lesson at the same time that I did.

623
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: I think I, just as a kid, thought she would

624
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: have already known the lesson, and so I came at her.

625
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: I did watch the video back just recently during the

626
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: Dance Lungs reunion, and I was like, ah, now, Jojo,

627
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: that was a little much. That was a little much,

628
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: like you didn't need to go that hard in her.

629
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: I feel like now I would still stand up for Gia,

630
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: but I'd be like, hello, dude, I understand you had

631
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: a different experience with Gia, but let's just keep things nice.

632
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: If you don't got anything nice, I just don't say

633
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm at all. I feel like that's how I do

634
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 1: it now. However, at the time I went in on her,

635
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: which I mean, I don't know that it's how I

636
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: felt at the time. But we did talk about it,

637
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: we did clear the air. Everything's cool again. Look what

638
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: did Tom Hollands say? He said, if you have a

639
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: problem with me, text me, and if you don't have

640
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: my number to text me, then you don't have a

641
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: reason to have a problem with me. And that I

642
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: mean is it's straight fire. It's a baller quote. All right.

643
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: Moving on to a better topic, Robin dot Spring two

644
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: point zero asked any advice on coming out. Yes, it's hard.

645
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Even for people who it might look easy for, it

646
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: is still very hard. The best part is after once

647
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: you're out and you never have to do it again.

648
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: But the first time you come out as the hardest.

649
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: I think, pick somebody who might not even be your

650
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: closest person, but pick somebody who you know you're gonna

651
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: get a good reaction from as your first person that

652
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: you come out to. Because that will give you your

653
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: first time to say it, and then you know that

654
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: that person's gonna be supportive, you know what I mean.

655
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: If there's another person that is a member of the

656
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: LGBTQ community that you can come out to, I would

657
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: start there because they they've been there, they've come out,

658
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: they understand, or maybe they haven't come out, and maybe

659
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: you two can help each other. But I think start there,

660
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: start with someone safe, and work your way to that

661
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: person that you are hard like that is hardest to

662
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: come out to, but be brave. Coming out is the

663
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: best thing. It is a gift to be able to

664
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: come out, be brave. Know that everyone in this generation

665
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: that's coming out is paving the way for the next

666
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: generation for it to not be awkward. And I think

667
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: the younger that we get, I mean, obviously, I know

668
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: we're all getting old with time, but I came out

669
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: when I was seventeen, and I think that opened the

670
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: door for a lot of kids to see, oh, she's

671
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: seventeen and coming out. So I think the more we

672
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: can normalize it, the better. But coming out, I mean,

673
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: it's hard. I wouldn't sugarcoat it and say it's easy,

674
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: but just pick a safe person and go for it.

675
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: You're just softy. Ask what's your favorite under you drink?

676
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: I had to throw a just fun answer question that

677
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: this video is not sponsor, but Ghost Energy drink is

678
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: my favorite right now. Every flavor I love blue, Raspberry, Tower, watermelon,

679
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: red raspberry, cherry lime, made lime, ough, They're all so good.

680
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: Favorite moment with you and Jenna. Actually just had a

681
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: really sweet moment with Jenna. I had Jenna on the

682
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: podcast and I got to read her my death note

683
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: that I wrote on Special Forces because I wrote it

684
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: to her and anytime I read this death note, I

685
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: sob and it's a very hard thing for me to read.

686
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: It puts me back in a place where I was

687
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: one of my lowest, literally writing a death note after

688
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen family, hadn't talked to anybody for multiple days.

689
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: And so I finally got to read her little part

690
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: of it, and I mean it broke me, but it

691
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: also built me more than ever. While we're on favorite

692
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: memories with people, I got favorite memory with Tyler Cameron

693
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: on Special Forces. My favorite memory with Tie on Forces

694
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: is when we were chopping wood and I ran the

695
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: accent into my leg and Tyler was like, oh, shot,

696
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: because not only Tyler when he tells the story. Oh no,

697
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: Actually I have a better memory. Now we're boarding mission,

698
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: I have a better memory. My favorite memory is day two.

699
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: I became fashion police because they would get mad at us.

700
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 1: That yes, would get mad at us and punish us

701
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: if we didn't all look the same. So finally I

702
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: was like, all right, well, I'm taking on this role

703
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: of telling everyone how to look because look, you put

704
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: me and Jack Osborne and Nick and Tyler and body

705
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: Miller in a room. Which one of us is gonna

706
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: know what her wardrobe is supposed to look like. Which

707
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: one of us is gonna notice whose sock is pulled

708
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: up higher than the others, the twenty year old psychotic dancer,

709
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: That's who's gonna know. And so I was like, all right,

710
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: I'm taking on this role. So I used to tell

711
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: the boys. I'd be like, we're wearing this because we

712
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: had a few different layers that we could choose between.

713
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: I'd be like, everyone, put this on and make sure

714
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: that we're doing three buttons, zip pockets, gloves in the pockets.

715
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: Like I just started to tell everyone, And then as

716
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: we would run out to the braid square stand out

717
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: by the door, and I would be like, Tyler, your

718
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: right button, and he would look at his right buttons undone,

719
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: and I body, you're missing your own band Jack. Your

720
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: shoes are different than everybody else's tire shoes, right, Like

721
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: I just started to really police everybody up, which is

722
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: something that DS wanted us to do, but no one

723
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: was kind of taking over and doing it. And the

724
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: duty recruit, who was like the lead of the recruits

725
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: for the day, was supposed to do that, and that

726
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: role was ever changing. But that was something that people

727
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't even necessarily notice if one button was missing, but

728
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: I could look at everybody and see instantly who was off.

729
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: And that I mean it does come from being a

730
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: dancer and cleaning dances and looking at wardrobe and costumes

731
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: and so anyways, I became wardorab police. And in the

732
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: beginning day two three four, even really day no, as

733
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: they did two three and four, the boys would get

734
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: like annoyed. They'd roll their eyes at me, they'd kind

735
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: of scoff and you know what I mean, Like it

736
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: was funny to see, but I was always I was

737
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: always right. I would never do it to be annoying.

738
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: I would never do it to tell them what to do.

739
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: I would just do it so we didn't get in trouble.

740
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: And so like they would come in and they take

741
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: their armband off and they would like leave it on

742
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: the floor, and I'd be like, put your arm band on,

743
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: otherwise you're gonna forget it. And they'd be like Jojo,

744
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: and I'd be like and they'd be like, you're right,

745
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, I know. Anyways. One of my

746
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: favorite memories with Tyler's I think it was like Dave

747
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: five or six. He comes up to me, he was like, hey, Jojo,

748
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: we checked my outfit and I was like, absolutely, I will.

749
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: And that moment for me was such a like, Okay,

750
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: these boys actually understand now where I'm coming from, the

751
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: fact that this grown thirty year old man's like, we've

752
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: checked my whole pretty like. I just that moment for me,

753
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: I was like, ah, you're a good one, bro. Like

754
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: I've had to yell at these boys, and now now

755
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: not only would I check this out and be like no,

756
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: you're good, like you're in like I got them conditioned

757
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: on how to wear their wardrobe, but it was the

758
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: fact that he like wanted the like the check now.

759
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: It just it made me really really happy. Ooh, pass this,

760
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,320
