Welcome back to Jojo Sea Now today. 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:15.560 Oh man, I can't even believe we are already a 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:20.520 quarter through twenty twenty four. That is actually crazy. I 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:22.560 wrote down the date the other day and I actually 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:24.720 I wrote down twenty twenty two, and I was like, 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.680 oh shit, it's twenty twenty three. It's twenty twenty four. 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.760 What's happening? And so if you're if you're asking me, 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.479 I'm still living in twenty twenty two. But apparently quarter 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:36.839 one of twenty twenty four is over, and I am 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.760 here today to give you some of my quarter one updates. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:44.440 It has been a crazy year and I've had some 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:47.720 really really fun times already this year, and so today 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.080 I just kind of wanted to go through talk about them. 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:51.599 They're not going to be an order of the year. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.040 Why would I have fancy order to my life? Of 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:55.800 course not. We're gonna be chaotic, We're gonna be all 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.319 over the place. Why wouldn't I be first? Thing? That's 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.760 just like the run off my mind of quarter one 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.640 of twenty twenty four is so you think you can 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.800 dance I have been in Atlanta for most of quarter 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.960 one filming season eighteen of So you think dance, being 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:18.080 on the judges panel with Alice and Holker and with Maxim. 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.479 Oh god, here we go on the last name Maxim Schmert, Max, 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:27.920 Max Schmertkanal Val Schmerkovsky, Max Schmerkovsky. I can never say 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.720 their last name. Val. I love them very much. Literally, 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:38.200 Jenna's like my freaking family, Jenna Johnson, Schmerkov's Schmert Schmerkovsk Nope, Nope, 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.360 it's it's just never gonna happen. I can't say their 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:45.360 name anyways. So so Jenna, my partner on Deserk with 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.840 the Stars, her husband Val, his brother Max is judging, 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.520 so you think he does with me? That's that's That's 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.560 why I've been on this long tangent about their last 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.400 name because it's impossible to say. I can't say it. 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.680 But anyways, So I've been in Atlanta. I've been having 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.360 them fu time. I actually moved here all alone, been 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:08.080 in Atlanta solo. It has been such a growing and 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:12.400 maturing experience. It has been crazy. I mean, there have 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.520 been things in my life that have forced me to 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.080 grow up fast. A contrary to popular belief, God the Internet. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.919 What's funny to me is I'm noticing more and more 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.600 and this is because I started talking about how I 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.480 want kids, you know, And that's a very still a 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.200 very very prominent feature in my life is that I 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.960 very much so want kids, and sooner rather than later. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.920 But since then people have been like, girl, what are 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.600 you talking about? You are a kid, and like, yes, 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.000 I am. I'm only twenty, Like give me a break, right, 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.280 But people are not just saying like, oh, I'm a 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.200 kid like I'm twenty. They're saying I'm a kid like 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.079 they think I am twelve, and they think that when 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.360 I was twelve making slime videos, or even just go 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.120 on the old end, because you know why, I was 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:02.000 seventeen making slime videos still. But from that time, from 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:06.040 age twelve to age seventeen, I was yes, making the 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.800 slime video, but I was also the one that was 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.040 coming up with the idea of the slime video, understanding 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.040 that that's what would do good in the algorithm, and 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.640 that's what viewers and kids and fans would want to see. 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.639 Then I was the one filming it. Then I was 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.040 the one editing it. Then I was the one uploading it, 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.720 understanding the algorithms, the times that it was. I was 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.799 the one who understood how to make a career when 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:34.240 I was eleven, And so people coming at me with 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.600 the whole you're a kid thing, it is very understandable. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.960 They see me on stage singing a kid in a 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.160 candy store, they see me on stage with a talking unicorn, 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:51.360 they don't see that that is all truly my ideas 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:57.480 coming to life, and that it was always a massive empire. 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.520 So as people were seeing me perform on stage with 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.080 the unicorn, singing in a candy store at age eighteen, 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.360 yes I was eighteen, but yes I was playing sold 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:13.000 out arenas. It was, it was what it was, and 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.720 I think that's something that people people have always misjudged 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.160 me on. They've always said, oh, you're a kid, you're 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.520 a kid. But what they don't understand is that seven 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:26.440 minute video you were seeing me. I see the memes, 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.279 I see the videos. I think they're hilarious too, But 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.760 you're seeing that and then you're not necessarily seeing what's 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.320 happening after, and it's me coming up with the next idea, 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.480 of me coming up with the greater picture, me coming 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.599 up with the business model that this is, and so 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.120 that that's gotten to me a little bit in quarter one. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:45.960 I'm not gonna lie, but I don't have the energy 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:50.159 to defend it online on social media because it's so 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.520 much just not worth my time. It's a losing battle, 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.120 you know what I mean. And so I'm just like, 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.640 you know what, people, people are never gonna want to 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.760 fully understand, and so it's it's okay, you know, I'll 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.440 take the heat for it. I understand. I look back 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.120 at some videos with me and I'm like, damn, I 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.600 would be fun to hate, Like I understand where people 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:08.920 were coming from. But at the same time, I'm like, 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.400 all right, y'all need to chill, Like if you want 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:11.800 to hate hate in your own brain, like you don't 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:12.880 need to, you don't need to put it out there 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.360 probably like come on, no, it's fine. Anyways, God, why 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.520 did I start that tangent? And now let me figure 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.520 out really quickly how I can end that tangent back 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.800 to I moved to Atlanta, Oh, I remember, how cause 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.160 I was forcing me to mature in a way that 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.480 I haven't already matured. But what I what I mean 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:34.360 by that is it's It's taught me small, small life lessons, 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.679 things like doing laundry on a schedule versus like letting 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.280 the piles pile up and then all of a sudden 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:43.520 you're working three days in a row, and then all of 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.160 a sudden you have no socks, you know what I mean? 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.480 Like keeping myself on a good schedule, on a good track, 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.719 making sure i'm time management. Like It's all stuff that 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.000 I've done my whole life, but just on a whole, 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.080 much bigger scale. It's it's been really cool. It's been 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.440 really fun. A massive thing that I've changed since being 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.200 in here in Atlanta. I moved here at the very 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:08.200 end of January. I don't order food anymore. I was 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.080 going through a phase where I ordered Uber Eats or 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.400 door Dash three times a day, sometimes even four. I 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.359 mean I would order breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes a 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.240 coffee or smoothie or desserts or whatever it was. And 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.960 I made this like promise to myself that when I 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.800 came to Atlanta, I was going to try to not 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.599 order at all. Didn't know how it was going to go. Somehow, 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:33.120 I have not ordered anything I have been here for 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.120 even when I would go grocery shopping. I wouldn't go 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.120 grocery shopping. I would just order my groceries. But now 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.360 today I'm like excited. I'm like, oh, if a podcast, 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.240 I'm gonna go grocery shopping. Like it's like what I 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:47.039 do now. It's so fun. But I originally I was like, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:48.960 I don't know how this is going to go. I've 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.599 been in Atlanta now for five weeks and I have 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.200 not ordered a single thing. I've not ordered a grocery 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.960 I've not ordered a door dash on Instacart, nothing. I've 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:03.200 gone everywhere, I've walked places. It has been so amazing. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:07.200 And now this is something that I am excited. Genuinely. 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.280 I'm very excited to see if I can apply this 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.040 to my life back home in California, if I can 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.280 apply the no ordering habit. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.680 It's been a very good habit. I've been cooking like 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:18.560 no other. 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.679 It's been so nice, so good, so fun, so amazing, 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.440 so healthy, so fulfilling. But I really really want to 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.880 try to apply this when I'm back home. It's gonna 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.560 be a little bit harder. I think. I don't know 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.200 why I think it's gonna be harder. I think just 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.400 like my lifestyle. When I'm back there, maybe you won't 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.480 allow for it to be as easy, you know. And 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.320 I also like truly miss the restaurants, but I'm like, no, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.240 I could go to the restaurants if I want them. 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.240 I don't know. We're gonna try to stick to the plan. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.280 But that's been like one of my biggest personal changes 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.400 in quarter one. Another massive change personally for me in 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:56.080 quarter one has been my style. My clothing style has 0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:04.400 really truly changed. I definitely have found a more masculine style. 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:06.800 This all stemmed from being a part of so I 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.760 Thinking Dance. It was now time to figure out my 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.800 wardrobe and I didn't really know what I wanted to 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.160 look like because I see myself on last season of 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.320 so I Thinking Dance and I see the dresses and 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.640 I liked what I looked like, but it didn't feel 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.080 right just yet. And then this season, you know, I 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:30.720 really I wanted to have Karma somehow involved in every outfit, 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.920 and so I told my mom. I was like, look, 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:35.920 you be in charge of tops and all be in 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.920 charge of bottoms. And she was like, okay, but what's 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:39.960 the vibe're going for? And I was like, you know 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.560 what I actually don't know, like let me, let me 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.600 find a vibe. And so then I was like, Okay, 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.760 what am I into right now? Who am I into 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.640 right now? What do I like? And a massive inspiration 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.880 in my life since the end of twenty twenty three 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:59.120 has been G Flip. Ever since I performed with G 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:04.000 towards the end of the year last year, I really 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.840 have fallen in love with their music, with their vibe, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.560 with their style, and then that kind of branched off 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.360 into just a whole whole new world of wait, what 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.400 is this style? What is this clothing aesthetic? What is 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.640 this coloring aesthetic? And I kind of just like deep 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.040 dived in the world and just kind of like saw 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.559 and then just kind of found some outfits online and 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.800 I was like, this is kind of all a vibe, 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:30.400 you know what I mean? And so I just kind 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.920 of put a few little like inspiration boards together for 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:39.160 my mom and using G as some inspiration, of course, 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.199 and then I found some other inspiration online and I 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.400 was like, you know, this is truly truly the vibe, 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.600 and yeah, it's it's honestly, it's been great. I found 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.679 sort of this like fun, little little feminine, little masculine. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.040 It's like right in the middle. I feel like I 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.520 walk a fine line of femine mask right now. Before 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.959 I've always swayed more fem you know what I think 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.240 it is. I think it's this. I think being around 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.880 G just for a few days gave me the confidence 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:14.959 to be okay, to be a little more masculine and 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.800 be a little bit more who I always felt like 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.040 I wanted to dress like right, but but I was 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.720 always like I just never had someone to look to, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.600 you know, And and G is somebody who they're non binary, 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:35.160 and so they definitely have a more masculine style. And 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.439 I finally had someone to look to being like, that's 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:41.359 that's what I want to look like. That's the one 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:45.640 and this new clothing style. First day of it was 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.720 actually when I was in Boston. So Boston was a 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:56.280 revolutionary trip for me. In twenty twenty four. It was 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.320 right before I moved to Atlanta. I had planned with 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.000 my one of my friends, Malia, to go see our 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.400 friend Lex and Ezra and of course Jen all in 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.439 the Dancing of the Stars tour. One of Lex's last 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.000 show was in Boston, Massachusetts. We live in California. Boston 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.920 We weren't delusional. We literally were like, oh, it's like 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.640 three hour flight away. Now Boston is definitely seven and 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.400 a half list definitely how all the way across the country. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.839 But some reason, our delusions were like, let's go to Boston. 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.360 I don't know why. So we ended up going to Boston, 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.959 and this was the first day that I kind of 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:33.000 found this new style. We landed in Boston and we 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:37.760 had the best twenty four hours literally ever. It was 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.120 freezing out, but I got dressed and I was like this, ov, 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:41.720 it's too cool to put a jacket on, Like I can't, 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.000 I can't, can'not wear a jacket is not happening. So 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:47.320 I didn't wear a jacket, was walking around freezing snowing 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.600 Boston in a muscle tea. We felt every single emotion 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.800 on this trip in Boston. We were happy, we were sad, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.079 we were hot, we were cold, we were tired, we 0:11:56.080 --> 0:12:00.160 were awake. We got like dressed for the night at 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.240 literally nine am to go out and explore the city, 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.679 and like we just didn't if we were gonna have 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.079 time to come back to our tells, We're like, just 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.080 get ready for the night. God. It was a mess, 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.360 but it was so much fun. And then we got 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.960 to see the Dancing with the Stars tour, which was awesome, 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.920 and then it just like ever since then, like that 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.480 level of Sarah Tonin has not been recreated ever. Like 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.360 me and Malia will talk all the time about like Boston, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.400 like we just need to go back to Boston. We 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.600 literally like take us to Boston. We found ourselves in Boston. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.520 So if anybody, if you're looking for yourselves, go to Boston. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.240 It is magical. So I found my new style literally 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.200 walked out of Boston. Was like, this is it? Like 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.439 I found it. I did it. And same with Malia. 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.880 She like she found her new hair vibe, she found 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.559 her new fit vibe. Like we just like we walked 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.320 into Boston one way and walked out another way. It 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:56.080 was awesome. We're actually we're planning it later this year. 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.400 Ge has a concert in Boston, and we all love 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.880 G's music and of course she as a human and 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.640 so I was like, guys, hear me out, let's go 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:08.040 to their concert in Boston. And everyone's down, So we 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:19.160 will be taking another trip to Boston eventually. Oh my gosh, Okay, 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:20.880 this is so stupid to talk about it. Right now 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.640 because I don't have one on but a quarter. One 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.720 update that is massive is I have become obsessed with 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.400 arm tattoos. Well, actually, the thing is most of you 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.240 are probably listening to this, so you can't even see 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:34.800 my arm anyways, but there are these tattoos called ink 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.640 box and they're basically like two week temporary tattoos, and 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.320 I have been utterly obsessed with putting them on one 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.559 arm as a sleeve. I think it's so cool. I 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.320 love the different designs that I can do, and I 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.440 love that they only last for two weeks. 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:54.040 It works out amazing, it's great. They go on, I 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:55.600 enjoy it, and then as soon. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.480 As I'm over it, they're boom. They're starting to fade 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.520 and I can put new ones on. But tonight is 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.440 my night to actually put new ones on, which is 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.920 why I have an empty arm right now. But I've 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.199 for the last month two months, I've actually been filling 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.920 up my left arm with a bunch of tattoos. Anyways, 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.040 back back to my off days. Ah ah, this is fun. 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.760 I love. This is like taking me through a journey 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.280 through the beginning of the year. It's actually been great. 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.480 One of the things that this really was more in 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.120 the beginning of the year when I was back in 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.880 LA and now that I'm almost done here in Atlanta, 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.600 I am getting so freaking excited to get back to 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.280 LA for this one reason, and it is my snack 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:38.320 bar in studio Siya, I for some reason took on 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.440 a role of like redoing our snack bar and like 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.760 making it healthy and putting out fresh, pretty streets. And 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.480 when I get home, we have a new fridge, we 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.400 have a new snack setup, and I cannot wait to 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.360 go organize it. My friends were at the studio the 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.880 other day and they were facetiving me with the snack bar, 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:56.880 because like they know how much it means to me, 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.160 or like whenever the kids will be there rehearsing. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.080 Now without me while I'm here in Boston, I'll send 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.160 their mom's pastries to put out at the bars. 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:05.560 That way, like they feel. Like if they texted me 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.000 and they were like, we miss your snack bar. We 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:10.440 need pastries, and I was like, oh, I got you. 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:11.520 Don't even say it twice. 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:13.160 So then I sent them some stuff up to the 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:17.360 studio and they loved it, and so that that I 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.240 don't know what that does for me. I don't know 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.880 why it fulfills me, but I literally like there was 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.640 a few days where I was like having a little 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.640 bit of a mental crisis, and I was like, you 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:26.960 know what, I'm just gonna go organize the. 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.040 Snack bar, and I just rearranged the front of the 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.240 studio and like readed the snack bar, and it cured 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.360 me of whatever I was feeling. It made me feel very, 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.720 very happy. Another thing that I started at the studio 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:43.520 but now has followed me everywhere is absolutely everything having 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:47.280 to do with drums. I love the drums. The drum 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:53.800 obsession started in late twenty twenty three. G taught me 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:58.560 a bit on drums, and then after twenty twenty three, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.880 I wasn't sure if drums were gonna I wasn't sure 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.960 if I was gonna stick with it, and I just 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.400 love it. Top of twenty four, I was drumming literally 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.480 every single day at the studio, and then I got 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.840 an incredible kit out here. This the kit that I 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.160 have here in Atlanta is an electric kit that is 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.960 built like an acoustic kit. It is a stunning and 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.280 I just love it so much. I'm having so much 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.280 fun with it. Right before I left for Atlanta. Right 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.400 before I knew I was leaving, I bought a brand 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.080 new drum kit out at the studio. It's a beautiful, 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.560 top of the line kit that I have only drummed 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.600 on literally once, and so I'm excited to get back 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.360 home so that way i can drum on it a 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.600 bit more once I'm back. Ah, it's gonna be so nice. 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.000 I really, I really can't wait for that. It's just 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.080 been so fun. It's like a little it's just like 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.960 a little like it's a it's like a it's like 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:48.720 a hobby, you know what I mean. But it's it's 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.600 a very good hobby for me because I feel like 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:55.160 it's beneficial to my career in a massive way. And 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.280 I just I love it. I've never I've loved the 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.920 piano as an instrument, but I'm I've never loved it 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:04.320 like I love the drums. I just it just feels right. 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:04.639 You know. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.760 My last update that I have to talk about is 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:15.200 the super Bowl. This was probably my highlight of quarter 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:16.360 one twenty twenty four. 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.520 I got to go to the super Bowl. I had 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:27.000 the absolute best time. It was. It was so much fun. 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.080 It was insane. It wasn't my first super Bowl ever. 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.359 It was actually it was my second super Bowl. It 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.320 was my third football game ever, and it was my 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.480 second Super Bowl. And I finally understood the game part 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.040 of it, like midway through. But that's not what made 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.680 it fun. What made it fun is we actually went 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.879 with a brand. We went with Mabeline. They brought me 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.960 my mom and then a lot of the Dance Bumbs cast. 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.720 They brought Colani and Kira Kendall and Jill Holly and 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.080 Nia Chloe, and then they also brought my partner from 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:03.040 Danzaca the Stars, Jenna, and it just was so much fun. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.359 We genuinely all had the best time. We got to 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.480 go to the dinner the night before we went to 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.359 the game. We were sitting three rows up the fifty 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:16.600 yard line, like literally the best seats in the stadium. 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.840 It was so surreal, it was so fun. I got 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:24.480 to see Lady Gaga. You would have thought you would 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.520 have thought like you would have thought it was me 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:28.399 saying Lady Gaga. I mean I turned around. I screamed 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:31.600 and I cried, like literally cried. She did not see me. However, 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.800 I did make it to her Instagram. If you look 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:35.480 at her Instagram posts, you can zoom in and you 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.119 can see us all sitting there, and I was like, 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.520 that's that's my claim to fame right then and there. 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.520 But yeah, I love Lady Yaga very much, so seeing 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:48.000 her in person was just so surreal. I literally sobbed. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.439 And then I also I saw Blue Ivy walking and 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.080 I was like, Wow, she is the coolest kid ever, 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.480 like that that's Blue Ivy. Like she was just so cool, 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.840 just like so chill. She was jay Z. Her dad 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.240 was a little roomy, like they're just chilling it. I 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.159 was like, man, y'all, y'all are just the coolest s 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:09.280 emmer Taylor Swift and Ice Spice they were straight across 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.600 from us, you know, Okay, So Ice Spice, there's not 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.480 a clip of her that she's like, nah, I don't 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:18.040 like Joe Jo Siwa. Is that real? It's always been 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.480 a conspiracy of if it's real, if it's fake. People 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.520 said that she said it in a podcast. It's an 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.840 audio clip, but some people say that it's tuned to 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.360 sound like her, and others say that it is her, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:34.280 and I still to this day do not know if 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:35.960 that is Ice Spice or not. So if it is, 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:41.520 somebody please tell me because I genuinely am curious about it. Anyways, 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.080 back to the game, finally understanding football. Jenna was teaching 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.760 me everything about it. It was great Now I understand. 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:50.240 I want to go to another game now that I 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.400 fully understand. I got to see some of my best 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.959 friends in the whole world. I got to see Body 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.960 from Special Forces he was also there. I got to 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.960 see you guys. Yeah, everybody knows how much I love Tyler. 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.560 I got to see Tyler Cameron, who Tyler became my 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.520 best friend from Special Forces for sure. Him and Nick 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:09.359 I'm super close to. 0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.880 But yeah, Tyan I have a very very special relationship, 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:14.359 and so just getting to. 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:15.960 See him for a little bit, it just like gave 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.560 me like that, like a comfort, like it's just his family. 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.640 And so it was a cool little literally a forty 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:23.760 five second reunion, but it was the best forty five 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:28.040 second reunion absolutely ever. We got to go on the 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.960 field after I wasn't idiot enough to make a TikTok 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.879 dance on the field, because why not, why wouldn't I be? 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:37.280 It just was so fun. We actually too. 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.439 We stayed at the Bellagio, which is a hotel that 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.920 I've always wanted to stay at go see the fountains 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:43.560 from my room. 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:48.880 Like it was just it was so beautiful. It was 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:52.119
