WEBVTT - 5 Things That Happened During Pride 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:05.040 You're listening to Jo Jasua Now with me Jojo Ciua, 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:10.879 an iHeartRadio podcast. Welcome back to Joe Jesse one. Now, 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.320 Oh my god, it's been a second, but I have 0:00:13.560 --> 0:00:18.919 been non stop busy. I have been go go, go go, 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:21.800 no sleep, no sleep, no sleeve. Literally now I know 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.920 what Gaga feels like. Bus club, another club, another club, 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.920 bus club, except for it's not bus and it's not club. 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.440 It's literally Plaine Pride, Plane Pride, Plane Pride. I have 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:36.080 gone all over the world right now doing these pride fests. 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:40.879 It has been fucking crazy. It started back in April. 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.760 We did Miami Pride and that was wild. Set the 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.080 record out Miami Pride for the most people in attendance, 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.159 which was honestly nuts. I mean, it was my first 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.720 live performance since Dreamed of the tour, which was also 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.920 kind of a weird trip because it was like, literally 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.000 the last words that I sang were d R E 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.959 A M. That's terrifying and now I'm Karma's a bitch. Like. 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:06.880 It was definitely a contrast for sure, and I wasn't 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.720 sure if like the audience was going to react a 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.479 certain way, if the crowd was gonna react a certain 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.880 way and the reaction was absolutely bananas. So we've done 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:18.319 some more Pride performances after Miami. Oh I never, I 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.280 never said the number two. Miami had a fifty over 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.000 fifty five thousand people show up, which was bonkers, and 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.520 then we did Pittsburgh Pride. We did London Pride at 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.560 Mighty Hoopla. We did La Pride, which was crazy, and 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:36.080 then we just did Chicago Pride, which was also not 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.160 so in New York Pride. Chicago Pride, we also set 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.360 the record. I set the record for most people in 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.319 attendance at Chicago Pride as well, which is crazy, especially 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.640 because I went on stage at two o'clock. I was 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:51.120 the first slot of the day and that for anyone 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.240 who doesn't know festivals like people kind of come throughout 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.560 the day and then like the headliners at night, and 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.040 so it was very scary for me to be first 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.840 on the day atopm I was like, WHOA, no one's 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.400 gonna show up, and it was they had to stop 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.440 letting people in. The wait to get in was two hours. 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:09.600 People were hopping fences. It was I haven't gotten a 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.280 number from them, but they said it was the most 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.160 people they've ever had. At Pride Fest in Chicago, I 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.720 turned around while I was on stage and there was 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.160 just a sea of probably two thousand people behind the 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.960 stage in the I Hop parking lot. Like I I 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.200 have never seen anything like it. It was honestly crazy, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.359 and of course New York Pride. I got to talk 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.720 about my new little baby Guilty Pleasure, which I'm so 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.960 being stoked about currently in real time as I am 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.200 filming this podcast, I am planning on getting a guilty 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.200 Pleasure tattoo tomorrow, which I've told no one, including my 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.040 own mother, so that's gonna be a surprise for sure. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.400 But uh yeah, I'm starting my little, my little patchwork sleep, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.960 I guess. Anyways, not the point of this podcast. Point 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.680 of this podcast and why I wanted to start off 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.200 with a little Pride chit chat is because today I'm 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.639 gonna be going through the five things that happened during Pride, 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.880 during Pride Fest, during my Pride performances that I didn't 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.320 necessarily share with the world. You saw it, but you 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.320 don't really have context of what it was or what happened, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.040 or maybe you didn't see it. And I got five 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.840 things written down that I'm gonna take you through, walk 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.720 you through, give you some inside scoop on, so you 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:19.760 better buckle the fuck up. Honestly, I'm gonna start this 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.480 one off strong. I there's this thing floating around social media. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.919 First thing that I want to talk about is that 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.400 I did poppers at Pride. Now, if you don't know 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:34.160 what paupers are, google it. If you're young, don't google it, 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.720 don't google it. If you don't know what poppers are, 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.880 stop listening to this podcast now. But if you do 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.200 know what poppers are, keep on listening with me. Anyways, 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.400 if you're over the age of eighteen. Essentially, poppers are 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.600 a muscle relaxer. Gay men use it. It's a very 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:51.800 it's very common thing. I if you wanna it, sure, 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.040 I sure, that's all I'll say. It's up to you 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:56.920 if you think I did poppers or not. I am 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:08.760 a gay man, so we'll see. Second thing that I 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.520 want to talk about, this one now has some more story. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.200 So there's this clip of me going around social media 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.520 right now that while I was on stage at Pride Chicago, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:23.560 I did a jump, a tuck jump into a splat split. Now, 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:29.279 this this was a game time decision. I was supposed 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.280 to originally, because normally I have six dancers right now, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:33.880 there's a little bit of drama going on. One of 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.839 my dancers couldn't do it, so then I had another 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.719 dancer signed in to do it, and then me and 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.800 that dancer got into a little bit of falling out 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.480 and so we I was like, you know what, don't come. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.360 It's where I'm good. I'll do it with five. So 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.000 the original dance that couldn't come is my best friend 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.719 and so we normally do this part together on Full 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.360 Out Freak. It's in my song Balance Baby, and I 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.159 essentially bend over and she essentially hits it from behind 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.640 and she lives her best life and I live my 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.159 best life and it's very fun and it's funny joke anyways, 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.080 because the phylin and I had a falling out, and 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.000 I was comfortable doing this with the fillin as well, 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.000 but I was like, nah, nope, I'll just do it five. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.120 I literally pulled her out of the set the morning 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.720 of rehearsals. I was like, Nah, this isn't gonna work, 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.600 but I yeah, I didn't. We had an odd number. Now, 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:22.880 so Balance maybe essentially the song starts and it has 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.880 six parts, right, it has I can do pricey, I 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.599 can do cheap, I can do modest, I can go 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.520 full on freak, I can go runway or show up 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.559 in jeans. And so each of the six dancers gets 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.800 one and I do it with each of them. Well, 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.359 having five dancers, I was like, all right, we gotta 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.720 we gotta make this work somehow. So I actually ended 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.080 up taking balance maybe down to four dancers to make 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:42.520 it make a little bit more sense. So we had 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:44.479 one of the dancers, kick Rocks, just go take a 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.720 breather off side stage while we do balance maybe. And 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.800 so the original game plan was I don't know if 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.800 anyone remembers this, but back in the day, I went 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.839 fucking viral another meal of mine. Are we surprised not 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:59.680 at all? For the TikTok It's Confen season, then all 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:04.320 the girls are anyways that TikTok and I pumped the 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.760 air I guess for the first time, and that went 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.760 super duper viral and people were like, Jojo, what is this? 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.520 What is happening? Then that kind of became a thing, 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.760 and so I was gonna bust that move out to 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:17.680 just be like a little bit of a I'm your 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.000 guilty pleasure. Here you go, remember this one. And that 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.520 was the whole game plan. And then I was in 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.640 the dressing room before the show and I had this plan. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:26.719 I was doing it with the dance. I was like, 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.520 full on freak. And then I told the dances. I 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.039 was like, oh my god, I had this dream last 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.359 night that I did a full jump splat split and 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.000 they were like, no, you did not, and I was like, 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:36.800 I literally did. And I was like, imagine if I 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.120 did it on stage, that's ridiculous. I literally can't even 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:40.320 do a split. And then I tried to split in 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.960 the dressing room. It didn't hit. Like I could not 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.360 do a split, not even doing the jump splait, just 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.640 like stretching getting into a split anyway. So I was like, 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:50.520 that could never happen, like a stick to the play 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.480 on ha. Once we were on stage, my adrenaline kicks 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.080 in like no other. Now Balance Baby is pretty deep 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.039 into the set, so we open up with Karma, then 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.200 we do Yesterdays, Tomorrows Day, choose your fighter, and then 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.320 Balance Baby and then I talk and then we do 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.440 Boomerang and now we had guilty Pleasure. But at Chicago Bride, 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.480 we had those six songs. Wow, we're already up to 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.960 a six songs. That that's crazy. I didn't even realize 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:20.600 that is that true? Karma Yesterday's Fighter, Balance Baby, Boomerang, Guilty, Okay, okay, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.600 six song set. Yeah, that's crazy, that's wild. Anyways, mind blown, 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.000 So Balance Baby. I was looking around it was so 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.880 hot outside. The dancers needed a moral boost. I needed 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.360 a moral boost, and so I was like, you know what, 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.120 I'm gonna full fucking send this and I went for 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.840 the jump splat split game time decision no one expected. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.600 If you watch the clip and you watch my dancer's face, 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.880 they're all like, no way. And then my dancer, David 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.440 came up. He does the next part with me, and 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.120 so he came up and like helped me up because 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.360 everyone was like, how did you just get down? Like what? 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.240 And yeah. Then, long story short, I had to do 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.200 the rest of the performance with two poled muscles. I 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.040 pulled my left quad and I pulled my right ash 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.800 cheek and I'm still paying for it today. My back 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.800 still hurts and my back hurts because of that. That's 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.240 the only thing that I did different. I do the 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.000 show every day. I run the show like two or 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.880 three times a day. And so that's literally the only 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.880 thing that I did differently and I got knocked on 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.640 my ass because of it. Was it worth it? Though? Absolutely? 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.760 I would do it a hundred times over again if 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.160 I could. So then we get this. Okay, I'm gonna 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.600 talk about the third thing in a second, but the 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.240 whole thing that after was like, oh my god, you 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:27.200 have to keep it. You have to keep it. And 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.840 I was like, you guys, like I can't do it again. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.960 Like it was like pure like in the moment, like 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:34.840 if I had to go to the studio and rehearse 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.560 that I would never happen. I was like, well, we'll see, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:43.520 I guess anyways. Uh, point number three let's keep it pushing. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.920 And number three on things that happen during Pride. Pride 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.960 performances that they don't share is my speech that I 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.880 give to the dancers and like kind of the pre 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:53.800 show ritual. Every show, I have the same thing that 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.320 we do. We have the same one up that we do. 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.720 You're gonna fucking hate on me and you're gonna call 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.079 me a giant doller, and I don't care because it 0:08:59.960 --> 0:09:01.960 is fun and we do it every single time. And 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.560 it gets us in the mood. YouTube Mickey's Mouser Size. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.880 That shit is a seven minute warm up that will 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.400 change your life. Mickey Mouse tarks to you and he's okay, 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.520 small ump circles, going forward, orm straight out, I'm beginning 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.360 one do one do? I mean he talks you through 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.480 the whole thing, and then Goofy comes in and then 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.400 you shake rarms like Pluto. I mean, it is the 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.720 warm up of a century, last seven minutes. It's so fun. 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.640 It gets you in the vibe. Then we sped and 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.600 we listen to some MJ. And mind you, all my 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.480 danswers do this like we all look forward to it, 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.640 like when's it gonna be down to the mouser size, 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.640 Like we are full adult humans. We drink alcohol on 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.880 stage and we do Mickey's fucking mouser size to warm up. 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.120 That's a real thing anyways, And if anyone doesn't believe me, 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.600 there is video proof on that, and I will sure 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.400 as hell share it because it's so much fun. Anyways. 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.000 And then right before we go, so that's like the 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.040 order of operations is we do our warm up, so 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.960 we get in wardrobe, we keep warming up kind of 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.560 for like an hour before the show. Once it hits 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.040 the fifteen minute mark, that's when and typically my sound 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.280 guy comes in. He brings me my in ears and 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.200 my mom puts my in ears in. I don't know 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.080 what I'm gonna do without that girl one day, Like 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.440 fuck that, I'm not doing this court without her. There's 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:16.360 literally no way anyways. So we comes fits my in 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.480 ears in, gets my costume all saddled on me, make 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.640 sure we're good to go, test the in ears, test 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.800 the microphone. A new thing is we don't do a 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.040 sound check. That is very new to me, and normally 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.920 I always do a sound check. This is like get 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.200 on stage and hope for the best, which works every 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:34.079 time so far, no fuck ups yet anyways. So then 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.319 we do that. Then it is time for my speech 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.000 to the dnswer. So I give this speech like two 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.000 minutes before we go out on stage. Should get everyone 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.360 in the right mood. Now, what I say the thing 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.320 is is our set is very very hard. My set 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.640 is very stamina draining. It's very exhausting. You're tired, you're sweaty. 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.120 It's a lot. And so I always give my danswers 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.400 the same speech and I have done this same speech 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.360 since I was thirteen. Like I always say this, I 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:00.439 always say, look, no matter what, you're gonna be tired, 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.839 you're gonna be hot, you're gonna be sweaty, your legs 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.400 are gonna hurt, you're gonna be out of breath, You're 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.120 gonna be exhausted, and no one gives a flock. I say, 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.320 the audience is here for a show. We're gonna give 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.600 them a show. Say I will care about you after. 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:13.920 I will bring you ice. After, I'll get you k 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.480 T tape. After, I will get you water, after, I 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.960 will do whatever you need after. During on stage, we 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:19.960 give the audience what they came here to see, and 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.079 we put on this show. And remember you are those 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.360 people now I saw them. I always say, you worked 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.559 so hard in rehearsal, you gave everything you got. Now 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.800 is the time to enjoy it. And I am very 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.200 not tough, not mean at all in rehearsals, but I'm 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.880 very I want it to be really good, and so 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.800 I'm very serious. I think is a great way to 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.520 put it in rehearsals. But then when it comes time 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.559 to on stage, I make it very clear to everyone, like, look, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.600 you are gonna mess up. You are gonna fall, you 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.000 are gonna trip, you are gonna be silly, you are 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:52.000 gonna laugh. Their things are gonna happen, but this is 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:53.880 where they're meant to happen. You put in all the 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.319 hard time in rehearsal, all the serious time and rehearsal 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.400 to get on stage and just enjoy it, because it 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.120 does come on, and you got to enjoy it every 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.720 single time. We will never get that same performance ever again. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.120 And that's the leason that I learned very very young, 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:07.920 and so I'm happy that I can pass that on 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.640 because a lot of people didn't learn that lesson very young, 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.280 and a lot of people are still stressed when they 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:12.880 go on stage. And so I make it very clear 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.000 to my dancers, like, look, we're on the stage for 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.120 a good time. I don't care what the fuck you do. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.360 Like we laugh about our mess ups after and then 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:20.719 we get in the studoing fix and we make sure 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.680 they're never gonna happen again. But while we're on stage, 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.960 fucking we all just have fun. Literally nothing matters. And 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.079 then I asked the dances if they need anything, and 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.120 then we put our hands in the circle and oh, 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.440 and then I forgot about this, but I give a 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:39.439 little prayer, and this is something that I actually never 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.120 used to do. And then I did Dancing with the Stars, 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.200 and Jena got me in a phase of praying before 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.839 I go on stage. And then I went on tour 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.360 and I started praying with the dancers normally like I 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.240 did with Jenna on Dancing with the Stars. And then 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:55.079 I realized not everybody believes in the same thing, and 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.400 so I always give a prayer that is like, all right, 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.560 everybody pray to who you pray to? Ib were rocks 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.000 in crystals, tell Santa Claus, what's up. Whatever you believe in, 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.920 whoever you believe in, let's go and let's chat to them. 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.840 And then I I say a little no matter what, 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.959 please help us be safe, happy, have fun, to help 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.560 the audience be safe, happy, have fun, and we say 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.400 thank you to whatever it is you believe in, and 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.800 then we rock and freaking role and then I have 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.199 this little little plea show vitual that I do my myself. 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:21.920 I say my cute little prayer. I say, please keep 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.960 everybody safe. I say one to the seventy went to 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:26.800 the Vestny went to the vest, and one of everyone 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.760 to the toone. Really wanted to an advis e Xemney 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.520 because Gusney New Knock Knocks still do that before every show, 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.080 same thing I always did on Dance Moms. And then yeah, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.600 we get out on stage, we'd kick ass and it's 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:41.280 a bomb ass time and then that's pretty much it. 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.040 That's pretty much a pre show routine. Post show, we 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.280 honestly just celebrate. Like pos show. We're never as tired 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.079 as we think we're gonna be, so it's always it's 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:50.880 always a good time. You can never complain. I mean, 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.600 like we get to do what we love for our job. 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.120 All right, I'll take it all day long. Oh right, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.200 I got two more things. We're gonna end with my favorite. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.600 So right now I'm gonna talk about my morning getting ready. 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.079 So if you don't know, I do all of these 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.040 crazy makeup looks, right anything from The Black Beast, which 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.640 I didn't create, the original Black Beast makeup look from 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.920 the music video. But now anytime that we do the 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:12.439 Black Beast's look, I do it. When I did the 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.079 iHeart Awards, I did the makeup and I did it 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.400 on stage. I did the makeup, but just the music 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.920 video itself, I did not do it however doesn't matter. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:23.120 I mean, I guess at this point I should just 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.920 fucking take credit for it, because apparently I take every 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.080 credit for things that I don't do. It's show me 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.720 the clip, Show me the clip where I said I 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.960 wrote Karma. Show it to me, please be my guest, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.880 because it doesn't exist. I will put my life on 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.800 that one. I will say, though, I'm honored about that 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.000 that people think I'm a Mandela effect now because they're like, oh, JoJo's, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.840 let you wrote Carma When I wrote Corma JoJo's who 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.520 I swear see that video? Bitch, No you have it? 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.400 No you have it. That video doesn't fucking exist. Fight me, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.640 dare you? Anyways, I need to stay on track. Clearly 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:58.600 I'm getting carried away right now. But my morning routines 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:00.640 I do all my own makeup, so the night before 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.120 it consists of me figuring out what am I gonna 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.360 do tomorrow, what's gonna match this costume? And it's always 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.000 the process is a little different, and I try to 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.120 keep things inspired by what is to come next to 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.240 kind of keep people guessing. So most recently Chicago Pride, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.920 I did Ryanstone crossed on my face which turned out 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.040 to be a big hit. I actually wasn't feeling it myself, 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:19.840 and then all of a sudden, the world really really 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.600 liked it, and I was like, oh shit, thanks guys, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.520 like y'all made me into it. This is the first. 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.000 Normally it's the opposite. Normally I'm into it in the 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.960 world like this fucking sucks, and I'm like thanks. But 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:30.400 this one I was like, ah, this isn't really good. 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.040 And then the world was like, wait, we love this queen. 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.360 You're eating how many letters do just Joe? Just see 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.120 what have in it? Eight? And I was like, oh, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.480 we like this one. Okay, I guess I'll do it again. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.800 But yeah, I wake up every morning, I order a 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.280 coffee or a duncan. I try to work out before 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.440 some mornings it doesn't happen, but I do like to 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.520 work out before a showday because it just kind of 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.720 gets my body like up and at him. But then 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.600 I allow myself four hours to get my makeup and 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.560 hair done and I do it all myself. It's a ball. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.520 I love doing it. It's very relaxing to me. It's 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.840 very creep to me. I love getting to be fun 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:06.400 and creative and like making things absolutely perfect. Something that 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.920 is very strange though, is I can't do art on 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.920 a piece of paper, but I can do it like 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:12.960 no other on my face. I don't know why. I 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:14.720 don't know what it is, but something about my handworking 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.760 that way. People have told me to try painting like 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.760 backwards because I think I would be better at it. 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.760 I guess, I don't know. Beats me, but yeah, it's 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.600 pretty much every morning and then I allowed the four hours. 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.840 Typically I finish around three hours, so then I spend 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:29.720 like the last hour like dilly Dolly and packing up, 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.640 making tiktoks whatever, having fun. Then yeah, I take a 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:35.640 little touch up bag. I barely do running touch ups. 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.920 So like, if my face moves, it moves, I don't care. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.800 What are you gonna do about it? Anyways? All right, 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.680 The last thing that I want to talk about is 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.720 one of my favorite fucking parts of my Pride Fest 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.520 Pride Show, Pride set. Oh it's my favorite part, and 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.640 it is when I drink the alcohol on stage. The 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:57.880 crowd goes absolutely ballistic. This idea of doing this stem 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.480 from I was in rehearsals and we were starting new routine. 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.760 Yesterday tomorrow is today and my twenty first birthday had 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:04.520 just passed, and I was like, I want to fucking 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.320 take a shot before this, and M. Gargen was like, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.520 all right, judge on niho do it and I was like, 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.560 all right, let's do it. So then it kind of 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.399 is how we like made this song make sense. But 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.119 then it just kind of came like a big thing. 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:17.840 So the first one that I did it at was 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.760 La Pride, and at La Pride I brought out a 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:25.040 jug of Tito's and people were like, whoa, what are 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:27.240 you doing? Is it real? Is it fake? And I 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.479 was like, bitch, it is what it fucking is. It's 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.639 a bottle of Tito's. What do you think it is? 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.680 And yeah, I do my biggest on stage. It is fun. 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.000 It always throws me for a loop after the fact 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.920 because my adrenaline is going so hard. I mean, I 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.880 slid on stage in shorts the other day at La 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.119 Pride and I didn't feel it, got up, had a 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.919 massive ass rash. I have a massive rash. Okay, it's 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:54.320 not massive, let me not be dramatic, but I have 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.560 a big rash on my knee right now from Chicago Pride, 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.119 from when I did my jump split, or maybe it 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.000 was from when I did grinding on Monday. I don't know. 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.439 One point, when I was fucking the floor, I got 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.679 a big rash, but I don't feel it when it's happening. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:11.119 And for some reason, that same thing happens with the 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.360 shot of alcohol, like I still taste it, I guess, 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.400 but it's like I don't, I don't, I don't. It's 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:19.919 not as if I was like sitting at a bar 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.639
