Speaker 1: You're listening to Jojo Sewa Now with Me, Jojo Siua
Speaker 1: and iHeartRadio podcast. Welcome back to Jojo one Now and
Speaker 1: today I'm not gonna lie this podcast. You probably are
Speaker 1: gonna change the way that you think about me, because
Speaker 1: let me just start off by saying, I eat some weird,
Speaker 1: weird concoctions of food. But today I am going to
Speaker 1: take you through all of my fun eating habits that
Speaker 1: I've developed, all of my fun eating things that I've
Speaker 1: phases that have gone through, how I use to eat
Speaker 1: as a kid, how I eat now, and let me
Speaker 1: tell you post Forces me is a different freaking breed
Speaker 1: of eater. I actually went through a really interesting phase
Speaker 1: after Special Forces. It took me about a month actually
Speaker 1: to get out of it. Damn, I'm just like I'm
Speaker 1: jumping right into like the thing. This in the very
Speaker 1: beginning of this podcast. But that's fine, that's fine. We
Speaker 1: can start here and then we'll we'll go back, we'll
Speaker 1: go back in time. Anyways, right after Special Forces, I
Speaker 1: literally for about a month, maybe a month and a half,
Speaker 1: ate every single thing in my sight. I kid you not.
Speaker 1: It was not cute, it was not fun. It was bad.
Speaker 1: I went out to a dinner with my dad. This
Speaker 1: was maybe like three days after Special Forces had been over.
Speaker 1: We went out for a space a steak dinner and
Speaker 1: we were in Seattle. It was really yummy steakhouse in
Speaker 1: the hotel and we go and I was like, cold,
Speaker 1: I please get the twenty eight ounce Porterhouse and my
Speaker 1: dad was like, Jojo, like get what you want, do
Speaker 1: your thing, do your big one, but like twenty eight
Speaker 1: ounce Porterhouse? Are you sure? And I was like no,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, and like for reference, like normally I get
Speaker 1: like a six ounce petite file at so I'm like
Speaker 1: really really doing my extra big one here. And so
Speaker 1: I was like, could I get the turnad out they
Speaker 1: brought it. My dad was like Jojo, you're not whatever,
Speaker 1: We'll take it home for the dog or like it's fine.
Speaker 1: Ate every single bite of it. Then we got sides.
Speaker 1: Ate every single bit of side. I'm talking like licked
Speaker 1: the bone clean, Ate every bit of it. Ate the
Speaker 1: fatty bites, which like normally I don't like. My dad
Speaker 1: was like, what happened to you over there? I was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, bro, I'm just hungry, Like I just like
Speaker 1: couldn't stop eating. Then we went on a cruise, and
Speaker 1: like the devious thing about a cruise is there was
Speaker 1: so much yummy food. And I fell in love with
Speaker 1: sushi on this cruise because it was in front of
Speaker 1: my face and I just would eat literally anything and
Speaker 1: ate it all eight rolls. Eight. We went out to
Speaker 1: a sushi dinner once and I, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: had a chicken terioki bowl of beef teriaki bowl, two
Speaker 1: sushi rolls, three orders because my parents didn't eat there,
Speaker 1: so I ate theirs of like these like dynamite shrimp,
Speaker 1: like like spring rolls almost and then I had a
Speaker 1: mochi a chocol lava cake and then like genuinely asked
Speaker 1: to go to the buffet. After not trying to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just stayed all this, we'd let me be like, haha,
Speaker 1: funny and like want to go to the buffet after
Speaker 1: it was genuinely like no, like I'm not fool yet. Anyways,
Speaker 1: somehow got out of that habit. But that was a
Speaker 1: very very interesting month and a half where I really
Speaker 1: was just enjoying everything in front of my face. And
Speaker 1: I think it was just because on Special Forces the
Speaker 1: food options were very, very limited. But I will say
Speaker 1: I did fall actually in love with the food on
Speaker 1: Special Forces. Now stick with me here. This is where
Speaker 1: we are now entering the segment of this podcast. JoJo's
Speaker 1: Weird Concoctions is what I'm gonna call this, but I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, trust me, try some of them. It's like
Speaker 1: a pregnant woman when they like like pickles and peanut butter,
Speaker 1: but then you actually try to you know, like Ranela's
Speaker 1: actually kind of bomb dot com. That's kind of how
Speaker 1: these are. On Special Forces. For breakfast every day, we
Speaker 1: had a platter of white toasts, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, and
Speaker 1: then a bowl of jelly and a bowl of like
Speaker 1: dried mixed fruits. Now, in the beginning of it, it
Speaker 1: was like I'm gonna have like two pieces of toast
Speaker 1: and some scrambled eggs, And then I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have oatmeal today. Like by the end of it,
Speaker 1: I kid you not. I took my little tin and
Speaker 1: I scooped eggs, oatmeal, dried fruit, jelly, stirred it all together,
Speaker 1: popped it on toast, and stuck it in my mouth
Speaker 1: like we had to eat that fast and you just
Speaker 1: knew you needed the cards, the protein, the fight you
Speaker 1: needed it at all, so we just shoved it in.
Speaker 1: But I will say, as nasty as that moment was,
Speaker 1: I would not recommend mixing in the eggs. But something
Speaker 1: about oatmeal and jelly mixed together is freaking magical. Now
Speaker 1: if you think about it, some people like normal would
Speaker 1: would mix oatmeal with like honey or maple syrup, and
Speaker 1: so it's it's kind of just a version of that.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Trust. I think it'd be kind of
Speaker 1: funky with a grape jelly, but this was like a
Speaker 1: This is like a raspberry jelly, and it was just trust.
Speaker 1: Try it and if you're feeling like the Special Forces diet,
Speaker 1: add some scrambled eggs in there, add it on some toasts,
Speaker 1: stick in your mouth, and you're basically in New Zealand
Speaker 1: at selection. Another one of my weird concoctions is actually
Speaker 1: a breakfast thing. Now, this one even more stick with
Speaker 1: me here than the last one. Just to trust, do
Speaker 1: not not get till you try it. Take a banana,
Speaker 1: hear me out, Put it in a bowl, mash it up,
Speaker 1: Take two eggs, crack them, scramble them in with that banana.
Speaker 1: Go until it's like pretty just like one mix of things.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have some banana chunks, but but not a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm telling stick with me here. Heat up pan, Grease
Speaker 1: that pan so it doesn't stick. Pour a little bit
Speaker 1: of in as of it's pancake batter. Cook it for
Speaker 1: a little bit on one side, Flip them over, cook
Speaker 1: them for a little bit on the other side. Add
Speaker 1: in some cinnamon, a little bit of cinnamon, a little
Speaker 1: such cinnamon, and you have the most delicious pancake you
Speaker 1: will ever have in your life. My parents themselves love
Speaker 1: the taste of it. They were both very into it
Speaker 1: when I had them try it, and then they were like,
Speaker 1: what are we eating right now? And I was like,
Speaker 1: you are eating a banana and egg. And they immediately
Speaker 1: were like, I am never trying this ever again, or
Speaker 1: letting you cook ever again. But I'm telling you, the
Speaker 1: taste is amazing. So for some people it is a
Speaker 1: little strange that you're eating a banana and an egg together,
Speaker 1: scribble up fried as a pancake, But it is amazing.
Speaker 1: Trust trust the process. Oh, don't forget the cinnamon. The
Speaker 1: cinnamon is the best part. You gotta have the cinnamon
Speaker 1: in there. Now. Another breakfast food that I make that
Speaker 1: is a little bit less weird of a mix of food.
Speaker 1: So there's just like there's one spicy food in there
Speaker 1: is a world famous avocado toast. It's not world famous.
Speaker 1: I'm literally the only person that's made it, but I
Speaker 1: will say I made it for my dad one day
Speaker 1: and he loved it and asked for me to make
Speaker 1: it for him again. So here's the game plan. You
Speaker 1: need avocado, you need egg, You need some bread. I
Speaker 1: specifically like to use Dave's Killer Bread, and I either
Speaker 1: use the everything bagel, everything Bagel bagel from Everything seasoned bagel.
Speaker 1: It's that how you say that from Dave's Killer Bread,
Speaker 1: or there's like a like spin sliced sprouted bread and
Speaker 1: that one is very very yummy. And then you need
Speaker 1: some everything Bagel seasoning, and you need some pomegranate seeds.
Speaker 1: Trust stick with me here, So cook up the eggs.
Speaker 1: I used to scramble. Now I'm into a sunny side
Speaker 1: up moment, So I just popped the egg in the pan.
Speaker 1: Let it cook all the way through. You gotta cook
Speaker 1: it on low because it's not all the way through.
Speaker 1: But do his thing. Toast up that bread, toast up
Speaker 1: that bage. Hole. That's happening. You mash up that avocado,
Speaker 1: scoop those pomegranate seeds and they're stirred in, adding some
Speaker 1: everything bagels, he'soningk stirred in. I like a lot of
Speaker 1: pomegranate seeds. Honestly, I probably put too much in, but
Speaker 1: it's vine. We're all gonna live anyways. Put it all
Speaker 1: on the bread. So you go the bread, you go
Speaker 1: the avocado, and you go egg on top, and the
Speaker 1: avocado has a pomegranate seeds mixed in. That is the
Speaker 1: best breakfast ever. It is nutritious, it is filling. It
Speaker 1: is so good. Heads up, if you do the sunny
Speaker 1: side up egg, the yolk gets very messy. With the avocados,
Speaker 1: with the mashed up with the pomegranates, you will have
Speaker 1: a concoction of green, pink and yellow hands Yellow from
Speaker 1: the yolk, pink from the pomegranate seeds, and green from
Speaker 1: the avocado. But it is mad worth it. I promise
Speaker 1: made a list of some other fun concoctions that I make.
Speaker 1: I have a very special version of a peanut butter
Speaker 1: and jelly that I like to make. If you couldn't tell,
Speaker 1: I'm a very healthy eater. All this stuff that I've
Speaker 1: been talking about is very very healthy foods and peanut
Speaker 1: butter jelly, for me, is a food that I really
Speaker 1: really enjoy, but it could never figure out how to
Speaker 1: make a healthy version of it because you know, you
Speaker 1: see the stuff that's in peanut butter and jelly, you
Speaker 1: see lots of sugar, you see lots of car which
Speaker 1: is totally fine, but for me specifically, I was like,
Speaker 1: how can I make a version of this that gets
Speaker 1: the job done but is a bit healthier and boy
Speaker 1: avoided I find it. So I found a sugar a
Speaker 1: sugar free peanut butter, and I look in all my labels.
Speaker 1: I look for food that is no added sugar. I
Speaker 1: don't care at all about natural sugars, get as many
Speaker 1: of them and as I can, but added sugar I
Speaker 1: truly try to stay very far away from. And I've
Speaker 1: done this since oh my god, since January last year. No,
Speaker 1: I think I've been added sugar free for a year now.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I have my moments, Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about my moments. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: my donut habit in just a second, which is very,
Speaker 1: very very foul, but we'll get there anyways. But I
Speaker 1: look for added sugar free things. It started off as
Speaker 1: just like a challenge. It was last year January because
Speaker 1: I I don't want to put myself on a diet necessarily,
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to like try to see like
Speaker 1: if I could develop a really good eating habit. And
Speaker 1: I was like, well, what's something that I could do
Speaker 1: or eliminate? And I looked into all the options and
Speaker 1: I discovered that added sugars would be something that would
Speaker 1: be very good for me to eliminate. And so I did,
Speaker 1: and now we're here and we're thriving. I will say,
Speaker 1: there is like a crash that happens without sugar. Like
Speaker 1: I definitely feel like energy levels. I've had to figure
Speaker 1: out like different ways that I can I can find
Speaker 1: energy without the sugar. But it's been so amazing and
Speaker 1: compared to how I used to eat, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: when I tell you I lived off of Lucky Charms
Speaker 1: cupcake and Domino's pizza, I literally lived off of Lucky Charms,
Speaker 1: Domino's pizza, and cupcakes. We will oh and funvetty frosting.
Speaker 1: We will get into that. Back to peanut butter and jelly.
Speaker 1: I discovered there is a jelly that is made out
Speaker 1: of chia seeds. It's called chia smash. There's no added
Speaker 1: sugars in it, and it is delicious and chia seeds
Speaker 1: are very good for you. So again we go back
Speaker 1: to Dave's Killer Bread. We take the cinnamon raisin killer
Speaker 1: bread stick with me here. That's the weird part about
Speaker 1: the peanut butter and jelly. But I promise it's amazing.
Speaker 1: You got the cinnamon raisin bread. Pop that peanut butter
Speaker 1: on their sugar free. I'm a crunchy girl. I do
Speaker 1: like crunchy peanut butter. Some people like smooth, some people
Speaker 1: like crunchy. I'm crunchy. Just let it happen. I know
Speaker 1: I used to be a smooth girl, so I also
Speaker 1: used to make fun of crunchy people. But now I'm
Speaker 1: a crunchy person. Just let it. It's fine. We don't
Speaker 1: need to go into detail about it, Bob. Some of
Speaker 1: that she has mashed chili on it. Pop another slice
Speaker 1: of bread on and ah, so good. I normally like
Speaker 1: to have her with some fruit on the side. He
Speaker 1: some raspberries, may have some blueberries. Keep it very I
Speaker 1: feel like I like really try to coordinate my foods
Speaker 1: a lot of the times, Like if I'm having, you know,
Speaker 1: a sandwich, I feel like I want to have some
Speaker 1: like barbecue quest chips. Quest ships aren't my freaking life.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to you about some of my favorite
Speaker 1: like on the ghost snacks. But like, if I'm having
Speaker 1: like a sandwich, I'll go for some quest ships. If
Speaker 1: I let's say I am having Mexican food, I'll go
Speaker 1: for like the like chili lime quest ships. If I'm
Speaker 1: having like honestly like I will have eggs and I
Speaker 1: will have like the sweet chili quest ships. I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit crazy, but you get the idea. I try
Speaker 1: to stick to the plan of the same things, and
Speaker 1: so whenever I have a PP and J, I kind
Speaker 1: of like keep it in the berry family. Another food
Speaker 1: that I like, Oh, this is a boarding mission actually
Speaker 1: on food for a second. This is switching gears to
Speaker 1: drinks for a second. I love this very special coffee order.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for it? You take a cold brew
Speaker 1: and you take the most delicious protein shake that has
Speaker 1: ever existed. It's called fair Life fair Life Core Power Protein.
Speaker 1: I like the like absolete one that has more protein
Speaker 1: in it tastes the same as the other one. There's
Speaker 1: like a little less strong protein one. So whatever whatever
Speaker 1: you prefer, they do taste the same. But they make
Speaker 1: a chocolate one. And truthfully, protein drinks are hard to
Speaker 1: find one that tastes yummy, and those fair Life ones
Speaker 1: taste so good. Uh and uh I like to put
Speaker 1: a little bit of that in my cold brew as
Speaker 1: the flavoring. It is so good. Trust I promise you
Speaker 1: can also on Amazon look up sugar free coffee syrups
Speaker 1: and there's every flavor you could ever want of a syrup,
Speaker 1: but specifically banana banana coffee syrup sugar free mixed with
Speaker 1: the fair Life Core powered chocolate protein shake mixed with
Speaker 1: cold brew is next level deliciousness. It is one of
Speaker 1: those acquired tastes, I will admit, but uh, it is
Speaker 1: very very very good. Now. I know. I mentioned something
Speaker 1: when I was talking about my food over the years,
Speaker 1: how it used to change. And one of my favorite
Speaker 1: stories that I like to tell is my rider. Actually,
Speaker 1: so you have a rider on set, which is basically
Speaker 1: your what you want in your dressing room, what you
Speaker 1: need in your green room. And this is where like
Speaker 1: some people how they have like the only green m
Speaker 1: and ms that's on their rider. Now, I've heard some
Speaker 1: insane things that people have on the rider. Some people
Speaker 1: have like just like food and drinks and stuff. Other
Speaker 1: people have like need is probably something that I'll do
Speaker 1: in a few years, but like a treadmill, I need
Speaker 1: a bed setup, I need a couch. I've heard somebody
Speaker 1: that was like, I need a puppy. Like every day,
Speaker 1: every tour venue they had a new puppy, Like it
Speaker 1: is a thing like you. It's crazy. Anyways, my rider's
Speaker 1: always just been food and beverages, and it used to
Speaker 1: up until the time I was eight, nineteen nineteen, I
Speaker 1: feel like after Dance with the Stars, so maybe even
Speaker 1: like yeah, so nineteen. Up until I was nineteen, my
Speaker 1: rider was when I tell you literally, there was always
Speaker 1: a fruit blotter and always a veggy platter. But then
Speaker 1: it was a dozen cupcakes, lucky charms, funfetti, frosting, jetfuffed marshmallows,
Speaker 1: peanut butter, jelly, white bread, did not matter, the brands
Speaker 1: of anything, did not care. Some sort of fruit snack,
Speaker 1: fruit roll ups? What else was always on my rider?
Speaker 1: In the drinks we always had, we always had red
Speaker 1: blo We always had water, milk, gatorade, orange juice, apple juice.
Speaker 1: There was more snacks that we always had. We always
Speaker 1: had Eminem's and Skittles, popcorn, just like the most junk
Speaker 1: that you could ever want your life. Oh, and then
Speaker 1: there was some things for my mom on the rider.
Speaker 1: There was diet Coke for my mom. There was Cheetohs
Speaker 1: for my mom, Dorito's for my mom. That was pretty
Speaker 1: much what she liked. And then we shared obviously everything else,
Speaker 1: but those were like her specifics. And then when I
Speaker 1: got into my first relationship, I added some foods that
Speaker 1: she liked also onto my rider, so that way, anytime
Speaker 1: she was on set with me, she had her favorite
Speaker 1: se remember I had and Cinnamonto's crunch, those are her favorites.
Speaker 1: I was like, ah, pop those on the rider. Anyways,
Speaker 1: now my rider is everyone that comes to set with
Speaker 1: me is like your rider is so boring. Now you
Speaker 1: see the best ever. We used to love hanging out
Speaker 1: your dressing room and now it's like silver fruit blud
Speaker 1: is still the veggie platter, but it is like no
Speaker 1: sugar added, granola bars, mixed nuts, dried fruits, protein bars,
Speaker 1: protein shakes, protein powders like BCAAs different supplements, vitamins, gum.
Speaker 1: It's like the healthiest things you can possibly find. Ever,
Speaker 1: I do say like some sort of like bakery item
Speaker 1: but like as healthy as possible. That is like the
Speaker 1: number one thing on my rider, like fruit snack, but
Speaker 1: any like healthy vibe. Everything now is like strictly health
Speaker 1: taking care of our body, and it's it's honestly, it's
Speaker 1: really fun. It's really nice. I've enjoyed getting to learn
Speaker 1: about foods and learn about like what my body needs
Speaker 1: versus what my body wants, but then also finding that
Speaker 1: balance of giving it what it wants as well as
Speaker 1: what it needs. I do this thing and I said,
Speaker 1: I was gonna talk about donuts, so I can this
Speaker 1: kind of a nice transition into that. I will sometimes
Speaker 1: overdo it session. And by sometimes overdo it, I mean
Speaker 1: like once every three months, I just have a day
Speaker 1: where I am like it's donut day. And normally it's
Speaker 1: it's connected to something that you know is not going
Speaker 1: too well in my life. Normally, if there's like a problem,
Speaker 1: it's a very very mental thing. And I definitely eat
Speaker 1: my problems away. And so one is what happens is
Speaker 1: is I will be like, all right, the only thing
Speaker 1: that will make this day better is donuts. And we
Speaker 1: have donut Day, and so we get the milk out.
Speaker 1: We dip our donuts and milk, of course, and I
Speaker 1: will order to the house about three dozen sometimes four
Speaker 1: dozen pending. When I tell you, I the last donut day,
Speaker 1: we counted because we were like, this is actually crazy
Speaker 1: how many donuts I can put away. But we were like,
Speaker 1: let's actually count this time. Last donut Day, I had
Speaker 1: eleven in one sitting. I I don't know what comes
Speaker 1: over me. I don't know where the space comes from.
Speaker 1: I don't know where the desire comes from. Because truthfully,
Speaker 1: like I set up a pastry bar at my studio
Speaker 1: every day for the kids, and normally today what's on
Speaker 1: the pastry bar there's mini muffins that are actually sugar
Speaker 1: free muffins. They don't know about it, and their moms
Speaker 1: don't know about it. But I'm gonna see if they
Speaker 1: like them, and they'll be like, guess what things are.
Speaker 1: They're healthy, they're good for you. Anyways, there's the muffins,
Speaker 1: and then there's croissants, and then there's krispy Kreme Donuts,
Speaker 1: there's bisc off cookie flavored ones, and then there's mini
Speaker 1: clazed ones, and I was setting them out and I
Speaker 1: don't even have like a desire to reach for it anymore.
Speaker 1: I used to. Of course, I used to eat literally
Speaker 1: anything at any time, never thought about it, never cared nothing.
Speaker 1: But then you know, I went through the phase where
Speaker 1: I was like, no, don't do that. And now I'm
Speaker 1: just in a phase where I'm just like, man, if
Speaker 1: I want it, I'll have it. But if I don't
Speaker 1: want it that bad, I won't have it. And so
Speaker 1: now I'm able to just like be around it and
Speaker 1: not not ever want it. I will say one of
Speaker 1: the best and the best things that my parents ever
Speaker 1: did for me and for my brother is make everything
Speaker 1: accessible to us, from from sweet treats to to literally
Speaker 1: I mean any any food. They made very accessible to us.
Speaker 1: So there was never a restriction, never a restriction on candy,
Speaker 1: none of that. We have mean had Halloween. You can
Speaker 1: have whatever we want. And the thing is is as
Speaker 1: a kid, and then especially as a teenager, and you
Speaker 1: want what you can't have, even as an adult, you
Speaker 1: want what you can't have. It just I feel like
Speaker 1: it changes from like food to like people. But I
Speaker 1: feel like as a kid, you know, if you're saying,
Speaker 1: if you're like you can't have oreos, then like all
Speaker 1: the kids gonna want is the oreo, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? And so my parents were always very good
Speaker 1: about just being like, yeah, if you want an areo,
Speaker 1: have an oreo. Like I don't. Who am I to
Speaker 1: stop you? You know what I mean? I want to
Speaker 1: talk about my favorite snacks. I made a list. I'm
Speaker 1: a very on the go person. I gotta eat quick
Speaker 1: and then be on my way, and so I made
Speaker 1: a list of some of my favorite favorite things. Number
Speaker 1: one and number two, absolutely without a doubt is Quest
Speaker 1: chips and Quest bars. Finding a good protein bar give
Speaker 1: me very very hard. And I will say Quest bars
Speaker 1: taste a little bit more like protein than Barbels bars.
Speaker 1: Those are my other favorites. Those ones taste literally like
Speaker 1: candy bars. They're amazing, no sugar added, tons of protein,
Speaker 1: good and cowls like. Everything's good about them. But Quest
Speaker 1: bars there's more flavors. My personal favorites of the chocolate
Speaker 1: chip cook you know it tastes just like cook. You know,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. There's also the cookies and cream ones that's good,
Speaker 1: muffin ones good. Those are all very very good. But
Speaker 1: now Quest Chips, when I tell you I live off
Speaker 1: of these things, it is actually insane. I I yesterday
Speaker 1: had four bags of chest cuips. We call them chest
Speaker 1: clips because one day I was so delusional I had
Speaker 1: like it was a challenge. We were seeing how many
Speaker 1: I could eat, and so I had not bags of
Speaker 1: chess clips and I was like, oh yeah, I having
Speaker 1: more chess qubes, guys, and it just like came out
Speaker 1: like that, and we were like, oh, that's the name
Speaker 1: that's sticking for forever. But they're so good. And one
Speaker 1: of my life hacks is if you like chest clips,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm gonna call them their right name
Speaker 1: for those sake of this podcast, Quest Chips. If you
Speaker 1: can find a flavor that you like, specifically the chili
Speaker 1: lime and the cheddar and the ranch, go good with
Speaker 1: these things. And the load of taco. Oh sorry, I
Speaker 1: forgot about loado taco. She's the best of these things.
Speaker 1: Dipping them in queso, guacamole or salsa will change your life.
Speaker 1: It is healthy. They are protein packed and it is
Speaker 1: good for you. It is the freaking best. I am
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I've lied once in my career, and
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna laugh at me because I don't like
Speaker 1: to lie. Never I never lie, but I did debt
Speaker 1: one line. My whole career. Everything was always genuine, everything
Speaker 1: was always true. The only thing that was ever a
Speaker 1: lie is that I liked candy. I never have. It's
Speaker 1: never been my thing. I've always had like a like
Speaker 1: every here and then like yeah, sure I'll take some
Speaker 1: nerds or like yeah, man, i'ms in popcorner Skittles. It's
Speaker 1: not like a like I mean, now I'll eat anything.
Speaker 1: I used to hate sushi, so it was never like
Speaker 1: sushi where I was like, you know, that's disgusting. But
Speaker 1: it just was like I never reached for it, never
Speaker 1: wanted it. And what's interesting about that is so much
Speaker 1: of my life was candy, was candy driven. Was in
Speaker 1: Kidney candy store, we were in Sweetland, there was a
Speaker 1: lot of candy driven things, but that was the only
Speaker 1: thing for me, And I think it was just because
Speaker 1: I was around it so much that I was just like,
Speaker 1: I don't really want that much. Hey, I guess that's
Speaker 1: like probably a pretty good habit. Time I'm not I was.
Speaker 1: Probably it's probably a pretty good thing. I can't complain
Speaker 1: that much now, aside from recipes and snacks and things
Speaker 1: that I love. Actual like where I eat, when I
Speaker 1: eat is always different. Sometimes it's on the go. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we have this magical thing here over Eats and door
Speaker 1: Dash where you can order pretty much any restaurant to
Speaker 1: wherever you are, and that's a really convenient thing for me.
Speaker 1: But I will say I really really enjoy cooking. Am
Speaker 1: I a good cook? Absolutely not. I mix banana and
Speaker 1: eggs together and call it pancakes with the cinnamon. It's good,
Speaker 1: trust me, try it. But I can make meals that
Speaker 1: I like, and it's hard for me to find ways
Speaker 1: in my life that I can feel very normal. If
Speaker 1: I go out to a restaurant and I can go
Speaker 1: to a family dinner, that's very nice and it's very fun,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel normal because when I'm out, you know,
Speaker 1: there's people staring, and there's people taking pictures and talking
Speaker 1: and like that's all. It's all amazing, but it just
Speaker 1: doesn't feel normal, you know what I mean? And what
Speaker 1: is normal? Of course, no such thing as normal. But
Speaker 1: for me, I've really found that if I can wake up,
Speaker 1: cook my own breakfast, do the dishes and put them away,
Speaker 1: that is something that can get my day started off
Speaker 1: so good, make me feel so normal, make me feel
Speaker 1: so at home, like it just oh my god. I
Speaker 1: thought it was something that I should tell you about.
Speaker 1: Oh but I told Okay, no, literally, I was telling
Speaker 1: this to my friend yesterday and only three people know
Speaker 1: about this, and now the whole world's going to know
Speaker 1: about this because I'm talking about it. But I have
Speaker 1: this desire because I don't love cooking, but I love cooking,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I have this weird
Speaker 1: desire that one day I cannot wait to have Obviously,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to have children. We all know Freddie,
Speaker 1: Eddie and Teddy, my future babies. Cannot wait to have
Speaker 1: them one day. But I can't wait to be in
Speaker 1: the kitchen and like cutting up berries for them. It's
Speaker 1: a very specific dream that I have. But I can't
Speaker 1: wait for one day my wife to come in the
Speaker 1: kitchen and be like, oh what are you doing, and
Speaker 1: be like, I'm cutting up berries for the kids. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but that, to me, that's
Speaker 1: my version of cooking. Am I ever gonna make a
Speaker 1: lasagna or turkey dinner. Heck, now we're going over to
Speaker 1: Grandma Justice for that vibe. But if you want some
Speaker 1: cut up berries, kids, I will that you're fulfilling my
Speaker 1: dream by letting me cut up berries for you. Okay,
Speaker 1: to wrap up this podcast, I'm gonna leave you on
Speaker 1: a little bit of being like Jojo what I have
Speaker 1: ate some very strange foods. Now, these are all thanks
Speaker 1: to Nickelodeon taste tests that we would do back in
Speaker 1: the day. I have tried python, I have tried cow tongue.
Speaker 1: I have tried rattlesnake, I have tried crickets, cockroaches, grasshoppers, scorpions.
Speaker 1: Who knows what we all laid on special Forces. I
Speaker 1: don't even want to get into that. The only thing
Speaker 1: that I know what it was was boiled sausages, and
Speaker 1: that was nasty. I ate a caramelized onion ones not
Speaker 1: like yummy caramelized that's delicious, Like an onion raw onion
Speaker 1: dipped in caramel, disguised as a caramel apple. And I
Speaker 1: did that because we were doing this Nickelodeon taste test,
Speaker 1: and there was a caramel apple and a caramel onion,
Speaker 1: and it was like, which one are you going to pick?
Speaker 1: And everyone I picked the apple, apple, apple, Apple, and
Speaker 1: I looked at the producer and I was I was young.
Speaker 1: I was probably fourteen or fifteen at this point in time.
Speaker 1: I was probably fourteen, and I said said, away, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pause you for a second. Clearly I know which
Speaker 1: one the yuck is. Obviously, it's pretty obvious. And I
Speaker 1: was like, did everybody take the apple so far? And
Speaker 1: he was like, yeah, everyone's taking the apple. And I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, you need you need someone to take
Speaker 1: the onion. And they were like no, like you don't
Speaker 1: have to do that, and I was like, no, I will.
Speaker 1: I will take one for the team because they want
Speaker 1: someone to have the bad, right of course, like that's
Speaker 1: makes the video funny. And so I bit right into
Speaker 1: that raw onion covered in caramel and that was disgusting,
Speaker 1: but you know, that's fine. We all have our days,
Speaker 1: we all have our things that we do, we all
Speaker 1: have our random foods that will try. That's somehow for
Speaker 1: me ended up being a caramel dipped an onion dipped
Speaker 1: in caramel. There, there you go, caramel dipped onion. Either way,
Speaker 1: that is a great place for me to end this.
Speaker 1: Go watch that taste test somewhere out there that's on
Speaker 1: the internet. You can see me eat that. I hope
Speaker 1: you all enjoyed this jojous even now, I have been
Speaker 1: enjoying doing this podcast so much. It is so fun
Speaker 1: to just ramble on, get all my thoughts out, talk
Speaker 1: to myself for a whole thirty minutes. Oddly enough, it
Speaker 1: is very fun. I feel like, even though I'm just
Speaker 1: like talking to the universe, I feel like there's stories
Speaker 1: and things that I wouldn't normally get to tell if
Speaker 1: I was doing you know, like a press interview or whatever.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is like truly I get to
Speaker 1: like deep dive into these random topics that just are
Speaker 1: fun and that people like to know about. And so
