170
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: the last time you were here, you were in Mulam Route.

171
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: That's right.

172
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: How was your Broadway experience?

173
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: Oh?

174
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: I loved it. I think I thrive in like high

175
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Cortissoult environments. Actually right, yeah, And there's nothing like that

176
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Broadway schedule. It's I was doing seven shows a week,

177
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: a lot, and it is typically I think, I mean,

178
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: some people do eight shows a week. It's unbelievable. It

179
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: is a lot. But I love the community. I loved

180
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: doing the same thing every night. I loved getting to

181
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: place a teen and it was so much fun. I

182
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: liked it so much that I am developing a digital

183
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: musical and I'm working on another one that's been in

184
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: development for a long.

185
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: Time based for you.

186
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really really excited, so that's gonna continue, and

187
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: I'm just like overjoyed. I feel like a little kid.

188
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: What's harder is touring harder? No? I think Broadways the hardest. Personally, Yeah,

189
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: I have. I've always had the most respect for people

190
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: that do musical theater, but I never knew how many

191
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: times a week they actually do it. The two show

192
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: days are really something else, like two shows on Wednesdays,

193
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: two shows on Saturdays, sometimes two shows Sunday, depending on

194
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: what the schedule is. And that's especially with a if

195
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a show that has a big sing, like Wicked

196
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: or you know, the color purple or even uh, you know,

197
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: it's just like unbelievable how vocally taxing it.

198
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 2: Can the big sing because those like those money notes.

199
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I.

200
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 6: Sometimes will watch a show and I will say, oh

201
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 6: my gosh, how are they going to do this again

202
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 6: in a couple of hours and put that much emotion

203
00:08:59,400 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 6: into it.

204
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about my friend Nicole Scherzinger and like how

205
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: she is doing Sunset Boulevard and like leaving everything on

206
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: stage and sounding like an angel bird and like just

207
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: ascending to the highest heights of vocal perfection. And I'm

208
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: just like, how are you human?

209
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing. You know, if you're going to leave

210
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: everything on the stage, this may get gross. Leave everything

211
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: on the you know what I'm saying, Just just lose

212
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: control of your bowels.

213
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see that. Do you know what?

214
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm getting my money's words.

215
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 4: If you give me that much, it would be an experience.

216
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: Have you went to a place called the Box. I've

217
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: seen some very strange things, someone leaving everything on stage

218
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: at the Box. If y'all know what I'm talking about,

219
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. And something I can't

220
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: unsee it I had to share with someone Google. We

221
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: went to the Vault once, but.

222
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: Not the boy. They were licking Daniel's toes.

223
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 5: I saw you in rouge and it was incredible and

224
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 5: I was astounded because I wanted to hear you sing,

225
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: and all I could hear was the people around me

226
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: singing so loudly because they had all seen it five

227
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 5: to ten times.

228
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: What do you think about that? Because they were the show,

229
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: the sing along show.

230
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: No I was not.

231
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: It turned show.

232
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, you went to the sing along

233
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: that was something else.

234
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that if it's not technically

235
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: the sing along show and they're all belting it out

236
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: to me, I mean they're into it exactly.

237
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: She hated.

238
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 5: But I was like, this is my first time piped

239
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 5: down people. But it was it was like Deanna who

240
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 5: has seen it five times, a couple of other people

241
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 5: from here who have seen it so many times, and

242
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: there's an obsession with that show that I absolutely understand.

243
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: And then I went home. I thought, I'm going to

244
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: watch this movie unavailable to stream anywhere. Rude. Yeah.

245
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: I love Baz Luhrman. Yeah, I love that movie.

246
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: As what an interesting guy. We've had him on the

247
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: show several times.

248
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting. I got to meet him. He came came

249
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: into my dressing room and I'm like, are you Baz Luhrman.

250
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: Crazy? And his mind is wired in such a very

251
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: fun way. Remember that's you know that song that we

252
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: played by him? Song screen? We played that all the time.

253
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: I'll play it for you can play your music. Let's

254
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: talk about your music. Jojoe is here, by the way,

255
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: if you're just turning us on. Her EP is out tomorrow.

256
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: I believe it's called me ng L, which stands for

257
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: not Gonna lie, not Gonna lie. Yeah, okay, let's talk

258
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: about EP versus album. Sure, okay, there's an album has this,

259
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: I guess typically an average number of cuts on it.

260
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: It's nine or above nine or above. Yeah, I think

261
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: this is eight or seven. But like an interlude, Jojo,

262
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: can't you just commut? Like squeeze up?

263
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 3: Can commit?

264
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: No?

265
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: Squeeze out? Two more songs?

266
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: I have so many songs. But the thing is, I

267
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: just I have been uh in the music industry since

268
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: I was a fetus and a lot and I am

269
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: like currently unsubscribing from old ways of thinking and like

270
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: old you know things that I put on myself or

271
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: haven't been put on me, so EPs and mixtapes. I

272
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: feel more free.

273
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 2: Doing okay your way, don't you help me? I do

274
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: my thigh Jojo. I'm just thinking what would sound like?

275
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: You can hear me as a fetus on Leave Get Out?

276
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: I was wow, like, yeah, you know, I ever think

277
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: of redoing that?

278
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 6: Like I was telling him before, like Justin Bieber made

279
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 6: one of my favorite Christmas albums ever, but he did

280
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 6: it when he was very young. I'd love for him

281
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 6: to redo that now, to hear what he would sound like, Now,

282
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 6: would you ever think do that?

283
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: So in twenty eighteen, I re recorded my first two albums.

284
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: So that's what I did, said like a Taylor Swift

285
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: lawsuit thing. No, I did it before. Actually, yeah it was.

286
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: It was before My first two albums weren't available on

287
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: streaming services because my label didn't do a deal with

288
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: the DSPs, so it was anyway boring stuff. But I

289
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: was like, I'm tired of feeling like I'm you know,

290
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: a victim of circumstance. Is like, what can I do?

291
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 3: Oh?

00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 2: hear almost like a final mix, and you're like yeah, yeah.

318
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when you write a song and

319
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: then you step away from it, sometimes there's the chorus

320
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: A I mean, sometimes you're like, wow, this is really good,

321
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: and then you're like do I suck? And then you're

322
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: like nothing I do is good, and then you're like, no,

323
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: this is really good. It's such a rollercoaster. But I

324
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: like to like write a song, take some space away

325
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: from it, and then see how I feel, and so

326
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: I wrote this at the end of twenty twenty three

327
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: and then lived with it and decided that I did

328
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: want to put out a project. And then to hear

329
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: the evolution of these songs has been really, really cool,

330
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: and like fine tune the production and say, you know,

331
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: can we turn this up? Can we do this? I

332
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: love that whole process.

333
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: It just sounds so lush. I love that word the background.

334
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, I am from an era where I love

335
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: a lot of a rich, thick, lush background treatment.

336
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: Things have changed a lot since you started. They have today.

337
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you can throw something out there and right

338
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: right now, for instance, we're gonna play your music in

339
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: a few minutes and you're gonna get immediate feedback. Yeah,

340
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: good and bad, evil, right evil, It's all yeah. Do

341
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: you like this version of the music industry a lot

342
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: more than the original that you started it?

343
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: I like it because, well, not only is the music

344
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: industry different, I'm different and I'm more adaptable, and I'm

345
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: just like I roll with the punches, and I think

346
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: that there's a lot more opportunity for artists to connect

347
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: directly with their fans. It's not easy. I'm very fortunate

348
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: that I have a really loyal, amazing, enthusiastic fan base

349
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: that you know, I'm really have a great relationship with.

350
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: But I imagine it's challenging to like start and try to

351
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: get some traction on tick talk and Instagram and stuff.

352
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: When you I mean, there's so much. Ten thousand songs

353
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: are uploaded on DSPs every day. That's insane. So it's

354
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: it's a crazy time, But I think it's there's less.

355
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't genres don't matter as much. You know, artists

356
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: are just making a unique synthesis of all their influences,

357
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: and I think that's it's a fire time to be

358
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: a creative person.

359
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: Looking back, Jojoe, from your roots, your beginning in the industry,

360
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: is there something that happened I'll go here. Is there

361
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: something that happened then that kind of broke your heart

362
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: and you're still heartbroken over it? Something that kind of

363
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: shattered your heart over when you started.

364
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm still shattered by it. But

365
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: like I've been in therapy for ten years, so that's

366
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: a lot of money. You know, that's a long time.

367
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: Well spent money, well spent money. But I think what

368
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: was really heartbreaking for me is I'm an only child.

369
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: I come from a you know, quote unquote broken home.

370
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: Like I already had that foundation, and I was like

371
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: bullied in school and all that stuff. And then to

372
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: have people tell me from a young age that they're

373
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: like my you know, be my uncle figures and my

374
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: brothers and my father figures and all this stuff, and

375
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: then tell them, you know, them telling me they love

376
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: me at like twelve thirteen, fourteen and really believing that

377
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: we're a family, and then for them to just like

378
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: jump ship and be like, oh, this doesn't make I

379
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: can make more money over here or do that. That

380
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: is a heartbreaking thing to learn very young, and that

381
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: definitely skews the way that you look at life and

382
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: people and relationships. And that's something that I'm still dealing

383
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: with now, but not.

384
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: Forevermore probably and forever mon, we're all we're still we're

385
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: still kind of trying to figure it out.

386
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. So trust is a challenging thing for me because

387
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: I put my trust in people from a young age

388
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: and then I had to learn really quickly that business

389
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: is not personal. And I think that made me a

390
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: cold blooded person for a long time, and I applied

391
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: it too much, like too liberally and I was, but

392
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: sometimes things are personal.

393
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels personal when someone screws you over it does?

394
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: It does?

395
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: But how you write a song about it?

396
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

397
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: You do. I felt super disconnected from it. I was,

398
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: I was numb. But you know, now now I have

399
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: outlets that I that make more sense for me.

400
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 6: What about social media? Like when you started social media,

401
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 6: wasn't you know?

402
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: Really I launched on MySpace, so social media was like

403
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: just at the precipice, right, So what it is now

404
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: as to what it was then?

405
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 6: Like, you know, you know how people can be cruel

406
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 6: to everybody, and how do you like weed out that

407
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 6: or or ignore the negativity which you know everybody gets.

408
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: Well, I'm a grown up, like so it's I mean,

409
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that I'm don't have feelings. I do,

410
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: Like it impacts me when people are like say mean things,

411
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: but I feel really bad, Like I couldn't imagine being thirteen,

412
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: which is the age that I put out my first

413
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: single at like now. But I think that kids deal

414
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: with it across the board. I think everybody probably feels

415
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: the pressure that I felt as a kid because social

416
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: media gives you that feedback loop and like someone will

417
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: post a picture and immediately they're like, oh, should I

418
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: take it down because it only got twenty likes? Like say,

419
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a kid in school, you know,

420
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, maybe that's not good scary guilty No,

421
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: but like lunacy, what is that doing to the developing

422
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: mind that's squishy and impressionable and stuff.

423
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: You're an adult now, yeah, we got to take her

424
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 2: out of the kid boxy, you know.

425
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying I like, I'm grateful that I

426
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm seasoned.

427
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 2: You're doing fine, fine, Yeah, living in your own place

428
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: in New York City. Yeah.

429
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: On a scale of one to ten, how devastated were

430
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 5: you with the disappearance of TikTok for like twelve hours?

431
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: I was fine with it. I'm so glad. I'm sorry

432
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: that I was sorry with it, like I was, you know,

433
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, though I was. I was sad for

434
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: the people friends of mine, who you know, like built

435
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: their their careers on TikTok, And I'm like, dang, I

436
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: know it does It's not just it doesn't just transfer

437
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: over to another app. So I'm like, what are they

438
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: going to do? But I'm like, I don't know, you know,

439
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: as far as for me, that's okay, but it's not

440
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: just about me. So I was definitely thinking about the

441
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: people that have built amazing lives and careers on TikTok

442
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: living back.

443
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: So it's back. Yeah, Jojo is here. We're going to

444
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 2: play some music from m g L. Not Gonna Lie

445
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: her EP, which is released tomorrow. But why wait, let's

446
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 2: play it all now? So okay, the checklist of things

447
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: you have to understand living in New York City?

448
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 1: Oh, please tell me because I'm brand new.

449
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 2: No, you know you know some more than me, probably, Okay, Well,

450
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: you know, when you're walking down the sidewalk, don't look

451
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: up at buildings because you're going to run into someone.

452
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's tourist behavior. You gotta. Yeah, go and watch

453
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: the bikes because they do not care. They will run

454
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: right over.

455
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: You and they go a multiple directions.

456
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the bikes, I've learned that the hard way.

457
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, right in the subway? Yeah, what have you

458
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: learned on the subway? Right?

459
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: You know there's a lot of smells, there's a lot

460
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: of sights.

461
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of mystery liquid.

462
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: And mystery liquid. I always I always think it's when

463
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: people bring their own soundtrack and want to share it

464
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: with you, you know what I mean. Like I've been put

465
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: onto a lot of new music that way. Like I'm

466
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: like people, it's like with a boombox, you know, I'm like,

467
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: you have a boombox for real?

468
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 2: They still made.

469
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know they still made.

470
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: They live with light shows on them all stuff.

471
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 5: You can never stop outside a revolving door. You keep

472
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 5: going and then you stop, and obviously at the bottom

473
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 5: or top of any escalator. But that's just common sense

474
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 5: for anywhere.

475
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: I agree, that's everywhere.

476
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: Well, think you have any issue with New York City,

477
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 2: I think you've owned it. You own it already, And

478
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: I've always said ever since I moved here, everyone should

479
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: spend at least a year of their lives living in

480
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 2: the city. And sometimes we're trapped. We can't get out

481
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: of it, all right. So the tour, Yeah, you've added

482
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: more days of course in our Miami, which I'm so

483
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: excited about. So tell me where you are kicking on

484
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: February twenty second.

485
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so twenty second in Nashville. So super excited, And

486
00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: I'll be out till mid April. Come see me. I

487
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: I just think this is going to be the best

488
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: tour I've ever done because I'm having so much fun

489
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: in my life and everything translates, like the way you

490
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: feel translates to the way you perform, and so I'm

491
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Like moving here and having the

492
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: experience of being on Broadway, it sharpened me. It made

493
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: me be like, ooh, I want to go do my

494
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: own music now. So it's been a minute. It's been

495
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: four years since I released my last project, and this

496
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: this I'm like, what is it called? This tour is

497
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: going to be yes the new music, but also taking

498
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: it back nostalgic, and every single time we put together

499
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: a completely new set list, like it's not just we're like,

500
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: we're calling it a new tour and we're doing the

501
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: same thing. It's never that.

502
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: So I'm going to ask you something I've never asked

503
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: anyone because I don't ever go down this road because

504
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: I don't like it when interviewers do it. So I'm

505
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and throw it out there. Are you

506
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: dating anyone?

507
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: I am?

508
00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, next question, Well, because I've never died, I've

509
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: never ever got you go down that road with me. Okay.

510
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: The thought process was on the road, you want to

511
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: take me out, I'm trying to. I'm sure you're dating

512
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: lots of old gay guys before.

513
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: But he's married to.

514
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: You can date him too. I don't give Okay, here's

515
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: the more my thought process was. And as an interviewer,

516
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: I guess I when thinking hitting the road going out,

517
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 2: I'm looking at all these dates. You're starting in February,

518
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: and you're rolling around l A. And you're going home

519
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: to Boston, and you're doing Chicago and everywhere New York

520
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: and then Miami. Is that good for a relationship.

521
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: TVD I'll let you know no, I actually think I

522
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: don't know. If somebody understands like what that is like,

523
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: then it's probably helpful.

524
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, good, Yeah again, next question, So is my

525
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: Mike so long? I never do that. It's weird.

526
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 4: You really don't get.

527
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 2: I get you just.

528
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Felt comfortable with me. Well we're old friends.

529
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: Sure, okay, I'll take that.

530
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 5: So any more personal questions about what is his name?

531
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 4: What's the social security?

532
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: Don't don't let them ask any questions because they're the

533
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: worst and the best. Hey, I want to play some music. Yeah,

534
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 2: we just heard like a little hair of ready to Love,

535
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: but we didn't hear start over, and I've heard start

536
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 2: over is well, the difference between the two is.

537
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: Oh, between ready to Love and start Over. Yes, start

538
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: Over was when I was like in this on again,

539
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: off again thing for like ten years, which is not

540
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: a good idea. But I don't always, you know, make

541
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: the best choices always, and so that's that's what this

542
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: is about. I was like, you know, what if, just hypothetically,

543
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 1: what if we could go back in time and you know,

544
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: see the mistakes before we made them. And then Ready

545
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: to Love is being like, you know what, I actually

546
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: see that you are no longer not emotionally available, and

547
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: that's not attractive to me. I actually want to like

548
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: set myself up for success. I'm too grown for like

549
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: doing the same thing expecting different results. So I'm actually

550
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: going to make room for somebody. That's where I'm at.

551
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: So it's like a progression within that journey.

552
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: Jojo, I'm kind of wondering who's driving to work right now, going,

553
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 2: oh my god, that's me. I'm in the same seat

554
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: that JoJo's.

555
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: Haven't we all? I mean, I'm like so many of us.

556
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm tired of begging someone to fall in

557
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 2: love with me, yeah, or be with me.

558
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: Or begging for forgiveness or like you know, just to

559
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: see me in a different light, or enough of that. Yeah,

560
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: enough of that.

561
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 2: I'm growing up now. This is the second time you've

562
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: said that, since you said.

563
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: I need to stop driving that home like it's obvious. Actually,

564
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: why am I What do I have to No?

565
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think no. It's great because there

566
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: are people listening right now. They're going, oh my god,

567
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 2: I so appreciate where she is. Dang it, I'm in

568
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: the same place too. This is great, This is awesome,

569
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: very relatable.

570
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, why do you what do you.

571
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: Want to write something down? Just tell me what? Okay? Yeah,

572
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: apparently you've got things to do. You're you're cheating on

573
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 2: this with other outlets today. Never makes me mad. I'm

574
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 2: not gonna play your stupid music.

575
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 5: Music.

576
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: I'm having abandoned issues. You should understand this. I want

577
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: to play start over Yeah, all right, scary. Why are

578
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 2: you gonna put it over there? It works over here,

579
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: it works both places.

580
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 3: All right.

581
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 2: There's a problem with the sound. It's garbled.

582
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: I like to start off my songs garbled.

583
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's like, what did she say underwater? I

584
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: didn't know it was a zero intro? As we say, so,

585
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: uh is this? It is this goodbye?

586
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: This is start over. Oh we're not doing it.

587
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: Okay, a song called goodbye. The song is start over.

588
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: But this is time to say, Okay, well I'm gonna

589
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 2: play it again. We're gonna play the garbled part and

590
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 2: then hopefully it'll kick in. Yeah, maybe the sound in

591
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: you had a little problem that day. I'm kidding.

592
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,320
