Welcome back to Jojo one Now and 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:16.600 today I'm not gonna lie this podcast. You probably are 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.439 gonna change the way that you think about me, because 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:24.599 let me just start off by saying, I eat some weird, 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:30.080 weird concoctions of food. But today I am going to 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.680 take you through all of my fun eating habits that 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.400 I've developed, all of my fun eating things that I've 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.199 phases that have gone through, how I use to eat 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.239 as a kid, how I eat now, and let me 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:47.560 tell you post Forces me is a different freaking breed 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:52.599 of eater. I actually went through a really interesting phase 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.280 after Special Forces. It took me about a month actually 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.280 to get out of it. Damn, I'm just like I'm 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.840 jumping right into like the thing. This in the very 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.880 beginning of this podcast. But that's fine, that's fine. We 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.240 can start here and then we'll we'll go back, we'll 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:10.280 go back in time. Anyways, right after Special Forces, I 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.800 literally for about a month, maybe a month and a half, 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.640 ate every single thing in my sight. I kid you not. 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.800 It was not cute, it was not fun. It was bad. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.520 I went out to a dinner with my dad. This 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.520 was maybe like three days after Special Forces had been over. 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.000 We went out for a space a steak dinner and 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.679 we were in Seattle. It was really yummy steakhouse in 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.960 the hotel and we go and I was like, cold, 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.920 I please get the twenty eight ounce Porterhouse and my 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.120 dad was like, Jojo, like get what you want, do 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.680 your thing, do your big one, but like twenty eight 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.160 ounce Porterhouse? Are you sure? And I was like no, 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.480 I'm sure, and like for reference, like normally I get 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.760 like a six ounce petite file at so I'm like 0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.880 really really doing my extra big one here. And so 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.360 I was like, could I get the turnad out they 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.240 brought it. My dad was like Jojo, you're not whatever, 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.040 We'll take it home for the dog or like it's fine. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.359 Ate every single bite of it. Then we got sides. 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.320 Ate every single bit of side. I'm talking like licked 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.639 the bone clean, Ate every bit of it. Ate the 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.000 fatty bites, which like normally I don't like. My dad 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.960 was like, what happened to you over there? I was like, 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.160 oh no, bro, I'm just hungry, Like I just like 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.440 couldn't stop eating. Then we went on a cruise, and 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.440 like the devious thing about a cruise is there was 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.679 so much yummy food. And I fell in love with 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.600 sushi on this cruise because it was in front of 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.400 my face and I just would eat literally anything and 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.560 ate it all eight rolls. Eight. We went out to 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.720 a sushi dinner once and I, oh my god, I 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.280 had a chicken terioki bowl of beef teriaki bowl, two 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.640 sushi rolls, three orders because my parents didn't eat there, 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.520 so I ate theirs of like these like dynamite shrimp, 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.200 like like spring rolls almost and then I had a 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.800 mochi a chocol lava cake and then like genuinely asked 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.080 to go to the buffet. After not trying to be like, oh, 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.200 I just stayed all this, we'd let me be like, haha, 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:08.960 funny and like want to go to the buffet after 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.000 it was genuinely like no, like I'm not fool yet. Anyways, 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:17.440 somehow got out of that habit. But that was a 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:22.280 very very interesting month and a half where I really 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.720 was just enjoying everything in front of my face. And 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.760 I think it was just because on Special Forces the 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:33.640 food options were very, very limited. But I will say 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.040 I did fall actually in love with the food on 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.720 Special Forces. Now stick with me here. This is where 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.160 we are now entering the segment of this podcast. JoJo's 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.480 Weird Concoctions is what I'm gonna call this, but I'm 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.280 telling you, trust me, try some of them. It's like 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.760 a pregnant woman when they like like pickles and peanut butter, 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.600 but then you actually try to you know, like Ranela's 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.320 actually kind of bomb dot com. That's kind of how 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.280 these are. On Special Forces. For breakfast every day, we 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:07.800 had a platter of white toasts, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, and 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.920 then a bowl of jelly and a bowl of like 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.680 dried mixed fruits. Now, in the beginning of it, it 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.039 was like I'm gonna have like two pieces of toast 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.240 and some scrambled eggs, And then I was like, Okay, 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.000 I'm gonna have oatmeal today. Like by the end of it, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.120 I kid you not. I took my little tin and 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:28.480 I scooped eggs, oatmeal, dried fruit, jelly, stirred it all together, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.560 popped it on toast, and stuck it in my mouth 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.359 like we had to eat that fast and you just 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.880 knew you needed the cards, the protein, the fight you 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.280 needed it at all, so we just shoved it in. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:42.240 But I will say, as nasty as that moment was, 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.680 I would not recommend mixing in the eggs. But something 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:53.120 about oatmeal and jelly mixed together is freaking magical. Now 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.200 if you think about it, some people like normal would 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.640 would mix oatmeal with like honey or maple syrup, and 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.839 so it's it's kind of just a version of that. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.960 I'm telling you. Trust. I think it'd be kind of 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.560 funky with a grape jelly, but this was like a 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:12.000 This is like a raspberry jelly, and it was just trust. 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.360 Try it and if you're feeling like the Special Forces diet, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.800 add some scrambled eggs in there, add it on some toasts, 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.200 stick in your mouth, and you're basically in New Zealand 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:25.680 at selection. Another one of my weird concoctions is actually 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:30.280 a breakfast thing. Now, this one even more stick with 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.520 me here than the last one. Just to trust, do 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.120 not not get till you try it. Take a banana, 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.840 hear me out, Put it in a bowl, mash it up, 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:49.200 Take two eggs, crack them, scramble them in with that banana. 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.600 Go until it's like pretty just like one mix of things. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.560 You're gonna have some banana chunks, but but not a lot. 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.360 I'm telling stick with me here. Heat up pan, Grease 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.600 that pan so it doesn't stick. Pour a little bit 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.560 of in as of it's pancake batter. Cook it for 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.920 a little bit on one side, Flip them over, cook 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.599 them for a little bit on the other side. Add 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.520 in some cinnamon, a little bit of cinnamon, a little 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:19.039 such cinnamon, and you have the most delicious pancake you 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:24.000 will ever have in your life. My parents themselves love 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.080 the taste of it. They were both very into it 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.240 when I had them try it, and then they were like, 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.280 what are we eating right now? And I was like, 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.360 you are eating a banana and egg. And they immediately 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.039 were like, I am never trying this ever again, or 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:41.120 letting you cook ever again. But I'm telling you, the 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.920 taste is amazing. So for some people it is a 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.400 little strange that you're eating a banana and an egg together, 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.680 scribble up fried as a pancake, But it is amazing. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.680 Trust trust the process. Oh, don't forget the cinnamon. The 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.320 cinnamon is the best part. You gotta have the cinnamon 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.919 in there. Now. Another breakfast food that I make that 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.159 is a little bit less weird of a mix of food. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.640 So there's just like there's one spicy food in there 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:10.800 is a world famous avocado toast. It's not world famous. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.000 I'm literally the only person that's made it, but I 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.560 will say I made it for my dad one day 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.440 and he loved it and asked for me to make 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.880 it for him again. So here's the game plan. You 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:23.680 need avocado, you need egg, You need some bread. I 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.760 specifically like to use Dave's Killer Bread, and I either 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:34.440 use the everything bagel, everything Bagel bagel from Everything seasoned bagel. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.640 It's that how you say that from Dave's Killer Bread, 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.840 or there's like a like spin sliced sprouted bread and 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:44.840 that one is very very yummy. And then you need 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.560 some everything Bagel seasoning, and you need some pomegranate seeds. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:53.000 Trust stick with me here, So cook up the eggs. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.200 I used to scramble. Now I'm into a sunny side 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.000 up moment, So I just popped the egg in the pan. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:58.560 Let it cook all the way through. You gotta cook 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.720 it on low because it's not all the way through. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.440 But do his thing. Toast up that bread, toast up 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.160 that bage. Hole. That's happening. You mash up that avocado, 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.360 scoop those pomegranate seeds and they're stirred in, adding some 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.880 everything bagels, he'soningk stirred in. I like a lot of 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.440 pomegranate seeds. Honestly, I probably put too much in, but 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.760 it's vine. We're all gonna live anyways. Put it all 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.600 on the bread. So you go the bread, you go 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.640 the avocado, and you go egg on top, and the 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.040 avocado has a pomegranate seeds mixed in. That is the 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.160 best breakfast ever. It is nutritious, it is filling. It 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.440 is so good. Heads up, if you do the sunny 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:40.080 side up egg, the yolk gets very messy. With the avocados, 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.360 with the mashed up with the pomegranates, you will have 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.679 a concoction of green, pink and yellow hands Yellow from 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.200 the yolk, pink from the pomegranate seeds, and green from 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.880 the avocado. But it is mad worth it. I promise 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.800 made a list of some other fun concoctions that I make. 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.960 I have a very special version of a peanut butter 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.560 and jelly that I like to make. If you couldn't tell, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.640 I'm a very healthy eater. All this stuff that I've 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.440 been talking about is very very healthy foods and peanut 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.120 butter jelly, for me, is a food that I really 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.600 really enjoy, but it could never figure out how to 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.880 make a healthy version of it because you know, you 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:19.600 see the stuff that's in peanut butter and jelly, you 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.600 see lots of sugar, you see lots of car which 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.960 is totally fine, but for me specifically, I was like, 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.000 how can I make a version of this that gets 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.400 the job done but is a bit healthier and boy 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:35.720 avoided I find it. So I found a sugar a 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:39.800 sugar free peanut butter, and I look in all my labels. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.160 I look for food that is no added sugar. I 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.080 don't care at all about natural sugars, get as many 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.440 of them and as I can, but added sugar I 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.559 truly try to stay very far away from. And I've 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:59.160 done this since oh my god, since January last year. No, 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.320 I think I've been added sugar free for a year now. 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.040 That's crazy. I have my moments, Don't get me wrong. 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.960 We're gonna talk about my moments. We're gonna talk about 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.960 my donut habit in just a second, which is very, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.760 very very foul, but we'll get there anyways. But I 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.000 look for added sugar free things. It started off as 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.679 just like a challenge. It was last year January because 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.160 I I don't want to put myself on a diet necessarily, 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.640 but I just wanted to like try to see like 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.480 if I could develop a really good eating habit. And 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:30.920 I was like, well, what's something that I could do 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.040 or eliminate? And I looked into all the options and 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.960 I discovered that added sugars would be something that would 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.360 be very good for me to eliminate. And so I did, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.480 and now we're here and we're thriving. I will say, 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.400 there is like a crash that happens without sugar. Like 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.120 I definitely feel like energy levels. I've had to figure 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.640 out like different ways that I can I can find 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.400 energy without the sugar. But it's been so amazing and 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.559 compared to how I used to eat, Oh my god, 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.839 when I tell you I lived off of Lucky Charms 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:07.080 cupcake and Domino's pizza, I literally lived off of Lucky Charms, 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:11.520 Domino's pizza, and cupcakes. We will oh and funvetty frosting. 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:22.160 We will get into that. Back to peanut butter and jelly. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.920 I discovered there is a jelly that is made out 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.560 of chia seeds. It's called chia smash. There's no added 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.559 sugars in it, and it is delicious and chia seeds 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.760 are very good for you. So again we go back 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.920 to Dave's Killer Bread. We take the cinnamon raisin killer 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.640 bread stick with me here. That's the weird part about 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.280 the peanut butter and jelly. But I promise it's amazing. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.440 You got the cinnamon raisin bread. Pop that peanut butter 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.240 on their sugar free. I'm a crunchy girl. I do 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.040 like crunchy peanut butter. Some people like smooth, some people 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.320 like crunchy. I'm crunchy. Just let it happen. I know 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.800 I used to be a smooth girl, so I also 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.880 used to make fun of crunchy people. But now I'm 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.840 a crunchy person. Just let it. It's fine. We don't 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.320 need to go into detail about it, Bob. Some of 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.840 that she has mashed chili on it. Pop another slice 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.640 of bread on and ah, so good. I normally like 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.000 to have her with some fruit on the side. He 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:19.280 some raspberries, may have some blueberries. Keep it very I 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.160 feel like I like really try to coordinate my foods 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.280 a lot of the times, Like if I'm having, you know, 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.960 a sandwich, I feel like I want to have some 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.000 like barbecue quest chips. Quest ships aren't my freaking life. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:32.520 I'm gonna talk to you about some of my favorite 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.720 like on the ghost snacks. But like, if I'm having 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.320 like a sandwich, I'll go for some quest ships. If 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.160 I let's say I am having Mexican food, I'll go 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.720 for like the like chili lime quest ships. If I'm 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:51.280 having like honestly like I will have eggs and I 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.240 will have like the sweet chili quest ships. I'm a 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.400 little bit crazy, but you get the idea. I try 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.640 to stick to the plan of the same things, and 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.520 so whenever I have a PP and J, I kind 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:06.800 of like keep it in the berry family. Another food 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.880 that I like, Oh, this is a boarding mission actually 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.320 on food for a second. This is switching gears to 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:18.240 drinks for a second. I love this very special coffee order. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.560 Are you ready for it? You take a cold brew 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.360 and you take the most delicious protein shake that has 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:27.000 ever existed. It's called fair Life fair Life Core Power Protein. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.800 I like the like absolete one that has more protein 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.360 in it tastes the same as the other one. There's 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.960 like a little less strong protein one. So whatever whatever 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.000 you prefer, they do taste the same. But they make 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.400 a chocolate one. And truthfully, protein drinks are hard to 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.440 find one that tastes yummy, and those fair Life ones 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.240 taste so good. Uh and uh I like to put 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.720 a little bit of that in my cold brew as 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:57.600 the flavoring. It is so good. Trust I promise you 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.720 can also on Amazon look up sugar free coffee syrups 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.200 and there's every flavor you could ever want of a syrup, 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:11.400 but specifically banana banana coffee syrup sugar free mixed with 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.040 the fair Life Core powered chocolate protein shake mixed with 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:20.400 cold brew is next level deliciousness. It is one of 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.400 those acquired tastes, I will admit, but uh, it is 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:29.320 very very very good. Now. I know. I mentioned something 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.880 when I was talking about my food over the years, 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.560 how it used to change. And one of my favorite 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.040 stories that I like to tell is my rider. Actually, 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.840 so you have a rider on set, which is basically 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.440 your what you want in your dressing room, what you 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.240 need in your green room. And this is where like 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.560 some people how they have like the only green m 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.320 and ms that's on their rider. Now, I've heard some 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.840 insane things that people have on the rider. Some people 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.760 have like just like food and drinks and stuff. Other 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.080 people have like need is probably something that I'll do 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.760 in a few years, but like a treadmill, I need 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.760 a bed setup, I need a couch. I've heard somebody 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.880 that was like, I need a puppy. Like every day, 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.000 every tour venue they had a new puppy, Like it 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.880 is a thing like you. It's crazy. Anyways, my rider's 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.920 always just been food and beverages, and it used to 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:27.160 up until the time I was eight, nineteen nineteen, I 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.120 feel like after Dance with the Stars, so maybe even 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.360 like yeah, so nineteen. Up until I was nineteen, my 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.320 rider was when I tell you literally, there was always 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.760 a fruit blotter and always a veggy platter. But then 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:45.680 it was a dozen cupcakes, lucky charms, funfetti, frosting, jetfuffed marshmallows, 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.760 peanut butter, jelly, white bread, did not matter, the brands 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.200 of anything, did not care. Some sort of fruit snack, 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.160 fruit roll ups? What else was always on my rider? 0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.720 In the drinks we always had, we always had red 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:06.800 blo We always had water, milk, gatorade, orange juice, apple juice. 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.640 There was more snacks that we always had. We always 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:15.960 had Eminem's and Skittles, popcorn, just like the most junk 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.000 that you could ever want your life. Oh, and then 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:19.440 there was some things for my mom on the rider. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.400 There was diet Coke for my mom. There was Cheetohs 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.560 for my mom, Dorito's for my mom. That was pretty 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.880 much what she liked. And then we shared obviously everything else, 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.800 but those were like her specifics. And then when I 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.920 got into my first relationship, I added some foods that 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.400 she liked also onto my rider, so that way, anytime 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:37.440 she was on set with me, she had her favorite 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.160 se remember I had and Cinnamonto's crunch, those are her favorites. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.720 I was like, ah, pop those on the rider. Anyways, 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.960 now my rider is everyone that comes to set with 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.720 me is like your rider is so boring. Now you 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.360 see the best ever. We used to love hanging out 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.160 your dressing room and now it's like silver fruit blud 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.120 is still the veggie platter, but it is like no 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:06.879 sugar added, granola bars, mixed nuts, dried fruits, protein bars, 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:14.280 protein shakes, protein powders like BCAAs different supplements, vitamins, gum. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:19.919 It's like the healthiest things you can possibly find. Ever, 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.640 I do say like some sort of like bakery item 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.960 but like as healthy as possible. That is like the 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.480 number one thing on my rider, like fruit snack, but 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:35.840 any like healthy vibe. Everything now is like strictly health 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.880 taking care of our body, and it's it's honestly, it's 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.840 really fun. It's really nice. I've enjoyed getting to learn 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.359 about foods and learn about like what my body needs 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:50.040 versus what my body wants, but then also finding that 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.479 balance of giving it what it wants as well as 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.680 what it needs. I do this thing and I said, 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.359 I was gonna talk about donuts, so I can this 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:03.119 kind of a nice transition into that. I will sometimes 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.080 overdo it session. And by sometimes overdo it, I mean 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.640 like once every three months, I just have a day 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:13.040 where I am like it's donut day. And normally it's 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:19.560 it's connected to something that you know is not going 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.200 too well in my life. Normally, if there's like a problem, 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.040 it's a very very mental thing. And I definitely eat 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:31.120 my problems away. And so one is what happens is 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.280 is I will be like, all right, the only thing 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.840 that will make this day better is donuts. And we 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:38.720 have donut Day, and so we get the milk out. 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.680 We dip our donuts and milk, of course, and I 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.560 will order to the house about three dozen sometimes four 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.760 dozen pending. When I tell you, I the last donut day, 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.960 we counted because we were like, this is actually crazy 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.800 how many donuts I can put away. But we were like, 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.160 let's actually count this time. Last donut Day, I had 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:00.800 eleven in one sitting. I I don't know what comes 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.160 over me. I don't know where the space comes from. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.119 I don't know where the desire comes from. Because truthfully, 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.000 like I set up a pastry bar at my studio 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.760 every day for the kids, and normally today what's on 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.240 the pastry bar there's mini muffins that are actually sugar 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:18.160 free muffins. They don't know about it, and their moms 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:19.560 don't know about it. But I'm gonna see if they 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:21.560 like them, and they'll be like, guess what things are. 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:26.200 They're healthy, they're good for you. Anyways, there's the muffins, 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.439 and then there's croissants, and then there's krispy Kreme Donuts, 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.000 there's bisc off cookie flavored ones, and then there's mini 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.960 clazed ones, and I was setting them out and I 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.200 don't even have like a desire to reach for it anymore. 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.199 I used to. Of course, I used to eat literally 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.040 anything at any time, never thought about it, never cared nothing. 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.200 But then you know, I went through the phase where 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.320 I was like, no, don't do that. And now I'm 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:50.080 just in a phase where I'm just like, man, if 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:51.800 I want it, I'll have it. But if I don't 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.439 want it that bad, I won't have it. And so 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.760 now I'm able to just like be around it and 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:59.439 not not ever want it. I will say one of 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:02.120 the best and the best things that my parents ever 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.800 did for me and for my brother is make everything 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:12.680 accessible to us, from from sweet treats to to literally 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.159 I mean any any food. They made very accessible to us. 0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:18.880 So there was never a restriction, never a restriction on candy, 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:20.800 none of that. We have mean had Halloween. You can 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:23.760 have whatever we want. And the thing is is as 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.959 a kid, and then especially as a teenager, and you 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:31.119 want what you can't have, even as an adult, you 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:32.560 want what you can't have. It just I feel like 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:36.800 it changes from like food to like people. But I 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:38.359 feel like as a kid, you know, if you're saying, 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.120 if you're like you can't have oreos, then like all 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:43.359 the kids gonna want is the oreo, you know what 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:45.200 I mean? And so my parents were always very good 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:46.960 about just being like, yeah, if you want an areo, 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.520 have an oreo. Like I don't. Who am I to 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.960 stop you? You know what I mean? I want to 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.800 talk about my favorite snacks. I made a list. I'm 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.800 a very on the go person. I gotta eat quick 0:20:57.800 --> 0:20:59.560 and then be on my way, and so I made 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.840 a list of some of my favorite favorite things. Number 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:06.960 one and number two, absolutely without a doubt is Quest 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:11.040 chips and Quest bars. Finding a good protein bar give 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.399 me very very hard. And I will say Quest bars 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.720 taste a little bit more like protein than Barbels bars. 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.879 Those are my other favorites. Those ones taste literally like 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.159 candy bars. They're amazing, no sugar added, tons of protein, 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.439 good and cowls like. Everything's good about them. But Quest 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.480 bars there's more flavors. My personal favorites of the chocolate 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.760 chip cook you know it tastes just like cook. You know, 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:36.360 it's amazing. There's also the cookies and cream ones that's good, 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:40.240 muffin ones good. Those are all very very good. But 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:46.240 now Quest Chips, when I tell you I live off 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:52.600 of these things, it is actually insane. I I yesterday 0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:54.920 had four bags of chest cuips. We call them chest 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.080 clips because one day I was so delusional I had 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:58.880 like it was a challenge. We were seeing how many 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:00.520 I could eat, and so I had not bags of 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:02.440 chess clips and I was like, oh yeah, I having 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:04.480 more chess qubes, guys, and it just like came out 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:06.000
