7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: instead of talking about my intro, I'm gonna talk about

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: some questions. Let's go Sophia Underscore Sophie twenty one. Hey, Jojo,

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: do you have any regrets like a movie or TV

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: show that you turned down? And why? Okay, So I don't.

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: I don't really have a regret, but I do have

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: like a like ooh, I turned down doing They did

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: this fucks did this incredible show called Stars on Mars

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: and it was the first season of it and it

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: was gonna be a really fun show again secluded from

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: the world similar to Special Forces for a longer chunk

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: of time, and it was a competition show as well,

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: and they asked me to do it. I'm so stoked.

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: And then it was actually one of the first projects

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: that my team was like, no, you can't do this,

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: and at the time, I was like, well why not,

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: and they there was a bigger picture why I couldn't

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: do it, and I was like, all right, that's fair, valid,

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: I will trust you on this one. But like I

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: was mad. I was angry. And then about a month

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: later is when I got the offer for Special Forces,

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: which is also a Fox show. And so if I

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: would have done Stars on Mars, I wouldn't been able

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: to do Special Forces, and then I wouldn't have my

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: family that I have now with my boys and my girls,

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: my sisters on the show. I wouldn't have my fellow recruits.

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: So I'm very very At the time, I was very

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: sad that I had to say no, it's doing Stars

34
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: on Mars. But then I was very happy that I

35
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: got to do Special Forces because without that, I'd be

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: still the same old, same old joker that I always was.

37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Oreo's bestie, Who's your favorite X? Lol? What a question?

38
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Like I love that. I was like, Hey, ask me

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: a question, and Oreo's bestI was like, I want to

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: know who your favorite X is? Like that is baller?

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I don't, I mean, I don't, I mean I do

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: I do have a favorite it's kind of like when

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: you have kids, you know you don't have a favorite,

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: but like you do have a favorite. I don't know

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: I of my true exes, that's hard of people that

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: I've talked to not actually dated, though I I've been

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: able to kindle a friendship with somebody. Actually, two people

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: that I've talked to have been able to kindle a

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: friendship with that has been super nice and pure platonic,

50
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: which has been so incredible. And I think that that's

51
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: cool because you know, at some point you realize, like, look,

52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: we're all young. It literally doesn't matter. Like we never

53
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: did anything. We never dated, we never even went on

54
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: a date. We just kind of like flirted over texts

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: like that's all. And so now that we're able to

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: have like a true friendship is pretty cool. But yeah,

57
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: I bet you want to know who my favorite of

58
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: my axes is. I mean, it's not that hard to

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: figure out. When you want kids from reptisarus oh four

60
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: two five? When do I want kids? Literally yesterday? I

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: want babies so bad. Little Freddy, Eddie and Teddy will

62
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: be coming to town as soon as possible. I don't know,

63
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: I want to have babies. I think I want to

64
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: be pregnant when I'm like twenty three or four, and

65
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: then have babies when I'm like twenty four or twenty five.

66
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: I think, like early twenty four or super late twenty

67
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: three or and then you know what I mean, Like

68
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the right timeline for me, or

69
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: like pregnant early twenty four having babies. I don't know.

70
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I A lot will depend on my career.

71
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I really do love my career. I love performing. I

72
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: do want to carry my own children within a few years.

73
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: Though I decided not carry my own children. I think

74
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: I would have kids younger. But if I if I

75
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: want to carry children, I think I would wait a

76
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: little bit so that way I can perform a little

77
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: bit more, enjoy my career a little bit more, then

78
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: have babies and then continue. But I will have to take,

79
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, a bit of a break while i'd be pregnant.

80
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, my babies will becoming everywhere with me.

81
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, little Peanuts on tour, Freddi, Eddie and

82
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: Teddy will be running around those arenas. They will be

83
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: having the best time. What are your last thoughts in

84
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: the wings before you go on stage? Just from Karen

85
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: dot Knight Underscore, Underscore. My last thoughts, I go crazy

86
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: before I go on stage. I am either so calm

87
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: and just like yeh, here we go, whatever is going

88
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: to happen, or I am like psycho running my dance

89
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: over and over and over and speed running and doing

90
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: all my rituals. You know, I do a special prayer

91
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: every time. Then I do my dance moms one of

92
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: through Fust seven eight Kis Cassini Knock Knock. And then

93
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I say I'm prepared. I'm excited to have myself, because

94
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: that's something Jenna and I you say. We did say

95
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm prepared, We're prepared, We're excited, and we have each other,

96
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: you know, I have all my fun little rituals that

97
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: I do. But yeah, like right before that moment before

98
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm just like all right, here we go. Whatever happens happens,

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: like no turning back now, Sweet and sassy in Texas,

100
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: do you see yourself moving out on your own? Student?

101
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: This actually was a question that got asked a lot,

102
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: and I saw this question a lot in a positive way,

103
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: like hey, when you think you're moving out? And I

104
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: also saw this question be asked in a negative way

105
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, oh you're twenty, move out already, or

106
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: why do you still live with your parents? That's embarrassing

107
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: and it's funny to me that someone cares that much

108
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: that I still live at home. I mean, I have

109
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: a beautiful family, I have a beautiful home, and I'm

110
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: very lucky that we're all still able to live together.

111
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Talked about moving out, I have. It's a it's a

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: conversation that actually comes up in my family quite often.

113
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: The thing is is it's not really safe right now

114
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: for me to live on my own, because you know,

115
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: people find out where I live. People show up at

116
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: my house as it is, and so if I was alone,

117
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, that'd be be different. And I think I

118
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: will wait to move until I have somebody that I'm

119
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: ready to move with. And there's also the option that

120
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: I would stay here and my parents would move. You know,

121
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: this house is kind of a shared house, and so

122
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we I mean, it's it's our

123
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: setup is so great. My parents and I have the

124
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: best dynamic ever. Our house upstairs is kind of divided

125
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: into two, you know, so we have right where I

126
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: am right now is actually on half of this side.

127
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: And I have my room, I have my closet, and

128
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I there's no reason for me to

129
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: move out right now. You know. I go in my

130
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: room and I close my door a lot, and my

131
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: parents are very good at just like letting me do

132
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: my thing. But yeah, no, I mean eventually I'll move out,

133
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: for like, I love my family. I don't feel a

134
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: need to yet. Lyvia Elizabeth, why do you think you?

135
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: As in all caps? That's why I emphasized it. Why

136
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: do you think no one else from Dance Moms talks

137
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: to Abby? Like? Really? You know? This goes up back

138
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: again to Everyone has a different experience, and I don't know.

139
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: I think everyone left on different terms. I think Abby

140
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: is a very prominent figure in everyone that has been

141
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: a part of the show's life, whether they would like

142
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: to admit it or not, at some point in time,

143
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: everybody did respect the world out of Abby and wanted

144
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Abby's approval. And I think now that everyone's older, you know,

145
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: it's for some probably is the best choice to just

146
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: not have any communication to Abby. For me, the best

147
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: choice is to have communication with her, and is to

148
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: make sure she feels the love and respect that I

149
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: feel like I should give to her. You know what

150
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: everyone else from the show's journey was is different from mine.

151
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: But for me personally, you know, I do want to

152
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: have a good dynamic, a good relationship with her. She

153
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: helped me get here, and I will forever be grateful

154
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: and forever give her that respect and honor because she

155

176
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: She said, can you smell popcorn? I have literally no

177
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: idea what this means. I feel like it's some inside

178
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: joke between the two of us, and I just like forgot.

179
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: But I'm like Keiz what She's probably a wake by

180
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: now I should text her be like, what did you

181
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: mean by this? I mean I can smell popcorn? Like huh,

182
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyways, JoJo's, I'll just go to love

183
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: a fan, your favorite and most sold Jojo products. This

184
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: is actually crazy. So the Jojo bos are a massive empire,

185
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of people think those are my number

186
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: one products, But actually toys and electronics always outsold accessories.

187
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's because there was more.

188
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, if because the value was more, I

189
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: don't know, because there was just more. I mean, there

190
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: wasn't more variety than there was bos, but Bo's would

191
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: be considered accessory. And then my dolls were the number

192
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: one driver of toy sales, so it's actually my toys.

193
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Are you going to go back to short hair? This

194
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: is a debate that I've been in for so freaking long.

195
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I Uh. Some days I'm like, you

196
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: know what, I really want my short hair book. Other

197
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: days I'm like, you know what, Nope, I like long hair.

198
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: Other days I'm like, give me my mad hair. I

199
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: want extensions. I I'm all over the place in my hair.

200
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: I never know what I want to do. I never

201
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: know if I like it or not. It's this air

202
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: is a mess. Giselle Jaseel Jaseel j zel O don't know, Hey, Jazel,

203
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: what's your favorite challenge that you did on Special Forces?

204
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: My favorite challenge, okay, as hard and as torturous as

205
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: the boat challenge was where we had to carry the

206
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: boat for two miles. It was so satisfying when we

207
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: were done. I mean, that car ride back to base

208
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: and we were just sitting in the car all dead,

209
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: was just it was so satisfying. Also, the backwards dive

210
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: off the Hella off the boat when we had a

211
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: backwards dive. I was so proud of myself. I was like, yes,

212
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: freaking nailed it. Then he was like, miserable fail. I

213
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: was like, I guess I didn't nail it, like I

214
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know. And then of course the damn wall. I'm

215
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: running down the dam wall. I mean, when are you

216
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: ever gonna get to do that? That's I mean, that

217
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: was crazy. Alex underscore E nine. Do you miss being

218
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: on tour? I do so much. I dreamed the tour

219
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: was one of my favorite phases of my life. I

220
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: think ever, such a fun face, is such a fun dynamic,

221
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: such a fun vibe. I mean, there's nothing like being

222
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: on tour for sure. For sure was one of my

223
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: favorite phases of life. And I can't wait to be

224
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: back out on the road. I really can't give him.

225
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: Miss doing JoJo's Juice, I do. I think of jojo

226
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: Juice when it was in its prime. You know, when

227
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: I had first moved into my apartment, I feel like

228
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: it was when Joja's Juice was really in its prime.

229
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: But I remember doing Joj's Juice on Dance Moms, and

230
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: it was always so difficult because Wednesdays were Pyramid days

231
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: and Tuesdays were interviews. So normally what I would try

232
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: to do for JoJo's Juice was film on Monday, edit

233
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, upload on Wednesday. But then what would happen

234
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: is Monday would be our day off, and I would

235
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: just be tired and not want to get ready, and

236
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: so then I would be like, you know what, fine,

237
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: I'll film it on Tuesday. Then Tuesday would come and

238
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: I would have to do an interview and then go

239
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: to the studio and dance. So I'd be like, all right,

240
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: I'll just I don't know, I'll do it tonight. And

241
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: then i'd get back tonight and I eat dinner and

242
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 1: I'd just forget. And so then Wednesday would come, and

243
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: there would literally be some Wednesdays at eleven o'clock at

244
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: night where I would just like the crap, I haven't

245
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: done it yet. And I used to do what it's

246
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: called JoJo's Juice live, and I just pop a live

247
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: stream on YouTube and I would do it live and

248
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 1: then like we just ended it. Jus was very stressful,

249
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: but I loved it, you know, when it was in

250
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: its prime, it was the best thing ever. Amanda just SPA.

251
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: How old were you when you realized you were gay?

252
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: Wish I would have figured it out sooner. I think

253
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: I realized I was gay. I don't think I let

254
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: myself realize it until I was seventeen, and because I

255
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: kind of had a crush on this friend of mine

256
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: before I got to see her again, and so like,

257
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: I kind of knew because I was kind of jealous

258
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: of her with other girls, but I didn't really know.

259
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: But now looking back, I knew. But I mean officially

260
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: when I was seventeen, but unofficially, I mean the signs

261
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: were there when I was twelve eleven. Now knowing what

262
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know. I feel like everyone kind

263
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: of figures out when they're gey at their own on

264
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: their own timeline. But I think everyone always knows. I

265
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: think it's just when you allow yourself to believe it,

266
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: which is gonna be different for everybody. Unity Goal twenty four.

267
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: Sticking on the gay subject, why are you gay? Fox?

268
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: Squirrels are great? Man? I don't know. Anti underscore, social underscore, Goose.

269
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: Do you regret being filmed from such a young age?

270
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: This is something that I don't there There is no

271
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: regret for me. I feel like it was what I

272
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: always wanted. I always can remember being happy. I do

273
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: see some kids and I'm like, you are not made

274
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: for it, you know what I mean, Like you are

275
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: not able to handle the stress and the pressure and

276
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: the public life of what comes with working in the

277
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: industry and being on camera. But I know that at

278
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: the time I was. And so I think a lot

279
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: of child stars, you know, have resentment to their parents

280
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: because you know, parents should not put the kids in

281
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: the industry. But I truly believe that, like I was

282
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: meant for it. And I look back at me and

283
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: I like, if I if I was, My mom asked me,

284
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: She was like, if you were to raise your kid, like,

285
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: what would like if you would raise you as a kid,

286
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: what would you do? And I was like I would.

287
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: I would be like like go keep going, like I

288
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: would do the exact same thing. And so I think,

289
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't. I don't really regret it.

290
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't know anything besides it, so I can't really

291
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: say fully. I mean, I only had eight years of

292
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: life before my life was public. But I don't know.

293
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't regret it at all.

294
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: Becky underscore Roberts. How do you handle hate and speculation

295
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: and gossip and drama and how do you stay happy?

296
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: This question is is brutal. Hate and gossip and speculation

297
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: and drama are some of the hardest things to deal

298
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: with the things that I always try to remember is

299
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: that hate all it is is speculation, gossip, and draw

300
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: And you said those in your question, which is why

301
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: I use those three words. Hate is not I'm trying

302
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: to think of this is gonna sound messed up or not,

303
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: and I don't really know. Hate is not real. Hate

304
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: and bullying is something that people do to think they're funny,

305
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: think they're cool it. I do think there are some

306
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: people out there maybe who do have bad intention, but

307
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: I think most people in this world try to have

308
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: a pure heart. And I think people bully, hate, make

309
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: fun of cause gossip, the drama, bullying because because they

310
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: think it's entertaining or fun or funny or cool. The

311
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: reality is it's not. It's just an easy way to

312
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: try to be cool, which is which is sad. And

313
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: I think that is really changing nowadays, which I think

314
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: is really special. I'm really cool that especially like the

315
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: next generation is going to get to experience that for

316
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: me to the people around me really are who and

317
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: what keeps me happy. Normally for about three weeks I

318
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: fixate on something. So currently I'm in the drumming phase

319
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: where I'm drumming all the time. Working out really helps me,

320
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: dance really helps me. In our skydiving really helps me

321
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: stay happy. But yeah, the hating, speculation and gossip and

322
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: drama part of that, It really just is like, just

323
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: know that, like Susie hidden behind her phone making that comment,

324
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: really doesn't affect you. If you are proud of what

325
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: you're doing and you are happy, it is your life

326
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: and that is that is the only freaking thing that matters.

327
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: Oreganook said genuine question, how is your hair doing after

328
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: all that damage? Honestly, it's doing great. This is a

329
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: question that I was like, I gotta answer this because

330
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm really stoked about my hair journey. I had to

331
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: stress for ash when I was little from dance moms

332
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: that I picked at, So I killed all those hair follicles. Luckily,

333
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: it's only on a small chunk of my head on

334
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: the left side of my head, but that's the only

335
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: place on my hair is damaged. Everywhere else is pretty solid,

336
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: mentally underscore dot drained, Same girl. What's your favorite dance

337
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: you've done with XFG so far? My favorite number that

338
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: I've choreographed for them is either their new song on

339
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: their Christmas album, Essay NTA, which is the cutest song ever,

340
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: and also their dance to their song Party Like a

341
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: Pop Star. I love both of those. I was just

342
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: watching them do Merrawground Yesterday and Candy Hearts though, I

343
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: was like, dang, those are good, Like I really like

344
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: those two. I really, I really mess with those, like

345
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: I really vibe with those. But something about this Santa

346
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: one Essay s A NTA. It's so cute. There's this

347
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: one part where they go, oh, and they do this

348
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: little like kick and like little Sparker hands, and it's just, Oh,

349
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: that's probably one of my favorites. Jody Godfrey, any regrets

350
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: from your coming out story. Honestly, no, I don't think

351
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: I really have any. I wish I would have posted

352
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 1: on my instag feed inside of my Instagram story, but

353
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: that's I mean, it's practically irrelevant, like literally doesn't matter

354
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: at all. East dot m zero. How hard is it

355
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: getting into a relationship while being in the public eye.

356
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: It is practically impossible. I'm very proud because nobody knows

357
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: the people that I've talked to on a relationship level

358
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: this year. Obviously I haven't dated anybody this year, but

359
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: I have. You know, I'm twenty nineteen, I'm twenty this year.

360
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: I touch you chat around, and I'm very grateful that

361
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: no one knows because in the past, everyone's been able

362
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: to know prior to twenty twenty three, they've figured it

363
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: out before I even figured it out. But this year

364
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: it's really been under wraps. And I'm really proud of

365
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: that because that was something that I said I was

366
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna do. I was gonna keep my relationships more pop

367
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: private because you know, I have been in a few

368
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: very very very public relationships, and my two relationships that

369
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: were public taught me a lot about relationships in the

370
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: public eye. They taught me that it's not just me.

371
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: They taught me that it's me and a person. And

372
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: I think with my first relationship, it taught me, you know,

373
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: that it's me and a person who has very pure

374
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: intention with me, but is it didn't doesn't have this

375
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: public lifestyle that I have, and so that taught me that, look,

376
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: this is my life not hers. And then I think

377
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: my second relationship taught me that maybe this relationship isn't

378
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: with the purest intention, and maybe they're longing for this

379
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: public lifestyle and that once I realized that that kind

380
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: of got to me too. So now I try to

381
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: keep my talking to is my relationships far far away

382
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: from the Internet. I don't do that good of a job,

383
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: like it's not that hard to figure out if you

384
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: really wanted to. But I'm better about it, and I

385
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: think now when I do get into my next serious relationship,

386
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: you know, that could be tomorrow or it could be

387
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: in twenty years from now, I think I will play

388
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: it by ear because I really do think that it

389
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: just depends on the person, It depends on the situation, circumstance,

390
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: it depends on everything. And I don't know. I'm just

391
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: firm believer, and everything happens, and you know, if it's

392
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: if it's meant to be, it'll be in. If it's not, sure's,

393
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: sure's heck won't Caitlin down Ashley underscore what's it like

394
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: being a brand? Do you still have to uphold a

395
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: certain esthetic for marketing? So this is something that's crazy.

396
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: So my life I have been a brand. You know,

397
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: there's been Jojo sewer products, There's been Jojosua movies, Jojasy

398
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: with TV shows, Jersey with videos, Jersey with songs, and

399
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: and it's it's become a brand and versus just human.

400
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: And what's crazy to me is I've done something that

401
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: people haven't done yet, which is take a real human

402
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: and make a brand out of it. Nothing I ever did.

403
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking around in my room right now because I

404
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: have all the Jojo products in here. Nothing I ever

405
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 1: did was fake. Nothing I ever did was ingenuine, even

406
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: even down to having my dog Bobo, Like that really

407
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: was my dog. I really had a dog named Bobo.

408
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: We really signed Bobo to Nickelodeon as well. Like it

409
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: all was so real and every every bit of it.

410
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: I said on my very first podcast, the only lie

411
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: I ever told was that I don't that I liked candy.

412
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,239
Speaker 1: I really don't like candy. But everything was real, like

413
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: the unicorns and rainbows, the sparkles, the all the color.

414
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, it all was who I was. All

415
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 1: the videos were who I was, All the songs were

416
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: who I was. They all came from my heart, and

417
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: I you know, it was luckily enough to be able

418
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: to write all my own music and come up with

419
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: my own music video creative and everybody just went with it.

420
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: And there was a few times where people would try

421
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: to take my brand in a different direction on the

422
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: corporate side, and I would slow to the brakes and

423
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: I would be like, hey, look, you can do this,

424
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: but if you do this, I'm out. And I will

425
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: say publicly that I'm out, and I will say that

426
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with this and that you

427
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: just took my image and ran with it. And when

428
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: I would say that, I'd be like, okay, no, no, no, no,

429
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: like what are we doing your own? Then I'd be

430
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: like it was One time was when a doll had

431
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: piggy buns and versus the side ponytail bone, and I

432
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: was like, I've never worn piggy buns in my life

433
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: at this point and goes like fifteen or sixteen. I

434
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: was like, I don't wear piggy buns. That's not a

435
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: Jojo doll. You can sell that doll, but you can't

436
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: sell that as a Jojo doll because that's not Jojo.

437
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: And everyone was like, no, it's like a character version

438
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: of Jojo. And I was like, no, that's the thing is,

439
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,479
Speaker 1: there's not there's no such thing as a character Jojo,

440
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: and they were like, well, what do you mean? And

441
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 1: I was like it was a learning curve for everybody because,

442
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, being signed to Nickelodeon, they knew SpongeBob and

443
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: pap Patrol, where it was a character. You know, you

444
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: could put Paw Patrol, and you can put Chase, who's

445
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: wearing a cop outfit. Typically, you could put him in anything,

446
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: and it's Rab Patrol. It doesn't matter, right, it's an

447
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: animated character. But for me, it was a human, and

448
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: I was a human that was a brand for the

449
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: first time, and so there was that disconnect of you know,

450
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: you can't just do anything. I remember too, when I

451
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: went to go film my movie The J Team, someone

452
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: told me there was this big drama which maybe I'll

453
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: get into one day. We can do a whole podcast

454
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: dedicated to the J Team and all of that. There

455
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: was this drama this right before we started filming, where

456
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: I was getting told what my wardrobe was and what

457
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: my hair and makeup was gonna look like. And I

458
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: was like, absolutely not. And everyone was like, well, what

459
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: do you mean, Like you're an actor in a movie,

460
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: you don't get to say like, no, this is what

461
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: the director wants. And I I remember being like, but

462
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: this this isn't just a movie. This is the Ja team.

463
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm being Jojo Seaway. I'm playing myself. Like, yes, there's

464
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: a script and there's a director, and there's other casts

465
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: that are my friends in the movie that aren't my

466
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: friends in real life, although they became my best friends.

467
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: Like I try. It took a second for everyone to

468
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: kind of wrap their head around, wait, this is not

469
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: a character. She is being herself, but there is a

470
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: script to how does this work? And I was like,

471
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: the script is based off of me. It's things I

472
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: would really say. You know, I had meetings with the

473
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: writer to help and this probably was pretty sassy with

474
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: me at the time. I was almost eighteen. I was seventeen.

475
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: I was old seventeen. Then I told them, I was like, well,

476
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: then you can cast somebody to play Josia because Jojo

477
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: Sia doesn't play Jojo Sia. Josi Way is Jojo Siwa.

478
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: And they were like oh, and I was like, there's

479
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: no such thing as a character Jojo Jojo. This is Jojo.

480
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: We were a cide ponytail and bo, we're a bright colors.

481
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: This is what it is. And it was I mean,

482
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: it was small details of they didn't want me to

483
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: wear Jojo Bo's and I was like, I've warned Jojo

484
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: Bos the last nine years of my life. We're gonna

485
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 1: do the j team where I'm playing Jojo see one,

486
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: We're not gonna We're not gonna wear Jojo Bo's. Like

487
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: what sense does that make? Guys? And so once I

488
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: really got everyone's head wrapped around it, it just was new

489
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: and no one had done it. But sometimes, unfortunately, what

490
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: I've learned in the industry is you have to get

491
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: aggressive and you have to get stern, and you have

492
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: to stand your ground otherwise no one, no one cares,

493
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: and no one listens, and it's it's something that we

494
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: all do. And then after the fact you have that

495
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: awkward leg Yeah, you know, we're good, We're cool. And

496
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: it's happened to me where people have gotten aggressive with

497
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: me to do the right thing, where people you know,

498
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: we'll threaten things, and well, if you're not gonna do that,

499
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: then final do it. All right, you know, we're cool,

500
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: don't worry. I understand, Like you've just had to do

501
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: that to get your point across, like it's it happens

502
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: all the time, saman I thought on his score under school,

503
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: would you date someone that is not famous? One hundred percent?

504
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: I've dated somebody that is famous, and I've dated somebody

505
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: that isn't famous. My two main relationships have been one

506
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: in the industry one and the not. And uh, yeah, no,

507
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have a preference. I think just

508
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: your human as your human. Madeline thirteen, Why are you

509
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: pretending that Sandoval isn't a roach? Because he's not. Sandoval

510
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: is a human. Tom Sandoval is definitely. I don't think

511
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: calling any human a roach is a good approach. I think, uh,

512
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: you can have your opinions on people, for sure, but

513
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't think we should call people roaches. I think

514
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: that's pretty embarrassing. Think about me, is I met Tom

515
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: in a very vulnerable state. I met Tom on Special

516
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: Forces where we're all away from our families. I didn't

517
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: know who he was. I never watched vander Pump. I

518
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: didn't know what went on. I didn't know who Raquel

519
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: was or Rachel or Arianna or I didn't even know

520
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: there was another Tom. I didn't even know that was

521
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: a thing. And then I found out there was a

522
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: bar that Tom owned called Tom Tom, and I was like,

523
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, funny like Jojo, like he made Tom Tom.

524
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: And then I realized it was another Tom Like I

525
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know anything about it, and I

526
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: I hate it when people do that about things. But

527
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: I genuinely didn't know anything about it. And so to

528
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: be able to help Tom see a perspective of like, look, dude,

529
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: not everyone in the world knows what's going on in

530
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: your life. And he was like no, like you don't understand,

531
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: Like you open Instagram and like it's right there, and

532
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: I was like, no, no, no, that's because it's your Instagram.

533
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: I was like, there's seven billion people in this world.

534
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: All seven billion don't know what's going on on vander Pump.

535
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: I promise now. I don't condone cheating at all. I

536
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: am a very, very very loyal person. I would never

537
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: and if any of my partners ever did, I mean,

538
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: it's that's that's what you get. No shot, you know

539
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: what I mean, you get, you get, you get no chances,

540
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: Like if that everyone was happening to me, I'd be like,

541
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: all right, thank you next, and that's just something I

542
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: would never do. It's not who I am, so I

543
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: don't condone cheating. I do think Tom got put in

544
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: a situation where his worst mistake got exded online. And

545
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: do I think he handled it the best that he

546
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: possibly could have? No, but it's again something you learn of.

547
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: And there's not a book on how to deal with something.

548
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: There's not a book on how to do life right.

549
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: There's not, there's not, and this is all our first life.

550
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: So I think thing to wrap it up, I will

551
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: never ever, ever what is this question? Why are you

552
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: pretending that stamp Tom Standaval isn't a roach? I will

553
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: never think any human is a roach ever. I will

554
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: think humans are humans, and I think that life happens.

555
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: And Madeline, if I could give you any advice, go outside,

556
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: go read a book, Go stop worry about Tom Standaval.

557
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: And if I stop worrying about if I think Tom

558
00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: would stop worrying about you thinking that I'm not thinking

559
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: that Tom Standerbal is a roach. I mean, come on home, girl,

560
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: like you got there's way a better things to do

561
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: with your time than that. I promise, would you ever

562
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: date a guy? I mean, look again, I believe your

563
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: person is your person. However, I've dated a man and

564
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I would ever again. I don't know.

565
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: I have a lot of boys i'm coming in to

566
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: my life that I'm like, man, I really love and

567
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: adore you, but I could never, ever, ever ever date you.

568
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: I think that's why me and Tyler get along so well,

569
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: because every girl in America wants to be with Tyler Cameron.

570
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think even some gay girls would probably

571
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, nah, that's that's all. I'm mad. Like,

572
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: if he wanted me, i'd go with him. But I

573
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: look at Tay and I'm like, dude, I love you

574
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: so much. The other day he was commimenting me so

575
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: much on the podcast, and I was like, I'm the

576
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: only girl that's gonna say this, but like, thanks, bro,

577
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Like I don't know. I think that's why

578
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: we're able to be such good friends. Those those those

579
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: boys in my life are just like there might be.

580
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: But I could never see myself every dating boy. I

581
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: don't think never say never, but I just don't think so.

582
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: The other day, I Liz has got about a funny story.

583
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: I looked a mess. I mean, I I I looked

584
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: like a hot mess. I had just gotten done working out,

585
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: and I facetimed Nick from uh A Special Forces is

586
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: Nick vile? And Nick's a Nick's also a beautiful man.

587
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: He he was a bachelor bachelorette, you know what I mean. Anyways,

588
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: facetimed him because it was his birthday and I'm looking

589
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: at myself on the FaceTime. I'm like, I'm for sure

590
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: the only girl that's ever called this man looking a

591
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: wreck like this, Like you know, every girl that he's

592
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: ever talked to is like ready for their FaceTime. And

593
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: I was like, nah, he gets me post work out?

594
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: Who runs? Oh three? Do you still talk to any

595
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: of your ex'es? I do. I think a civil relationship

596
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: is healthy. Obviously that gets tricky, uh when you start

597
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: a new relationship. Some people don't like being friends with exes.

598
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't think friends is a fair word to say

599
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: for me with my exes. I don't think I'm friends

600
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: or could be friends with exes. I think there might

601
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: actually be a question coming up about that, or maybe

602
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: I just saw it and screenshot it. Somebody asked, you know,

603
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: is it can you actually be friends with the next

604
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you can but I do think you

605
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: can choose to be civil, and you can choose to

606
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: be okay with each other and not eat each other's guts,

607
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Lily, Underscore always Underscore comes

608
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Underscore back underscore. What's a favorite song that you made

609
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: for me? Hides out, Shoes out of the Park, ah

610
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: moost two songs will always be my favorites. We're almost

611
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: done here. We got four more questions. Buckle up, Buckle up,

612
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Sadie underscore, How well, why did you get your teeth done? This?

613
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: Actually I got my teeth done because I always say,

614
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: like how baseball players by cleat singers and Bob stars

615
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: by teeth? I don't know. I it was in COVID,

616
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: and I was either gonna have to get brace to

617
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: fix my teeth quick because viline wasn't gonna fix them

618
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: as quick as they could. Braces would have been faster.

619
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: So it's either gonna be brace face or which is

620
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. I actually think braces are really cute. I

621
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: just didn't want to have to deal with like the

622
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: eating of braces and the upkeep of them, or just

623
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: get veneers. And I knew I was probably gonna get

624
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: veneers when I was twenty twenty one, twenty two, and

625
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: so I was like, yeah, whatever, we'll just get them now.

626
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: So I got my veneers when I was seventeen sixteen.

627
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: Well I was a baby, all right. Why did you

628
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: cut your hair? Brittany Underscore Millwood wanted to know, honestly,

629
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: just because I wanted to. I had always wanted to

630
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: ever since I saw Miley Cyrus and I was like,

631
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: now is time to shine. Let's freaking chop it. And

632
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: I got the okay for my team because you know,

633
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot that goes into a big change like that.

634
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: And so I got the okay and I took the

635
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: scision in my head and never looked back. Keep me

636
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: Underscore vandor how do you stay motivated to eat healthy

637
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: and work out? This is an incredible question because it

638
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: is very difficult at times. There will be times when

639
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: I am feeling so good and so healthy, and there

640
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: will be other times where I'm like, I just want

641
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: to donut right now. That's the only thing that will

642
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: make me happy, and I think something to remember, so

643
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: that's okay. I've learned that sometimes you know, your mental

644
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: health house come first and whatever whatever, whatever is going

645
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: to make you happy. That's what you got to do

646
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: to get there. I see my future. I see what

647
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: I want my body to be able to do performance

648
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: wise and working out, honestly, I mean, the hardest part

649
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: is getting out there. But once you're once you're at

650
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: the gym, or once you're in your workout off at

651
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: your house like whatever it is, wherever it is. The

652
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: hardest part is getting started. But once you're there, it's

653
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: it's it's easy to keep going. I really do find

654
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: fun in working out. I find enjoyment in getting to

655
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: exude that energy. Uh, I don't know, I I thoroughly

656
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: actually enjoy working out, all right. Last question, Metaline, Madeline

657
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: g Stout, good Stout, Matt my dayling Scouts. Clearly, I'm

658
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: never going to know how to say your name. What

659
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: was one of the biggest things you took home with

660
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: you from Special Forces. I thought this would be a

661
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: good question to end on because it comes just with

662
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: some advice, and that is that life is precious. And

663
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: I think on Special Forces, all of us, all of

664
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: the recruits, got to our mentally lowest point we've ever

665
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: been at. You're away from everyone, you know, you're doing

666
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: the hardest thing you've ever done. You're having these massive

667
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: celebrations anytime you finish something, but then you have no

668
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: one to celebrate it with. You become family with strangers.

669
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: It is the furthest thing from your normal life than

670
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: you that the day that you could imagine, but it

671
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: makes you realize that your people that are valuable to you,

672
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: what is valuable to you and could be things like

673
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: a car, and it could be things like a hug.

674
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: You know, what is valuable to you and whatever that

675
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: is is okay. So I think it just brought home

676
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: with me that, like, look, life is short, and it

677
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: really put that into perspective, that life is short. And

678
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: so I think now I've been living definitely a better life,

679
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: definitely a healthier life. And I'm I'm very stoked to

680
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: say that I loved being a recruit. It was very

681
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: fun and also gave me, i mean, such a higher

682
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: respect for our military and and and I think that

683
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: people that serve our country are some of the bravest, strongest,

684
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: and most respectable people out there. Just getting a taste

685
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: one percent of what they do is is was actually insane.

686
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: And then I love discipline, and I brought that home

687
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: with me. You can always go a little bit further

688
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: a warrior. A warrior doesn't get ready. A warrior stays ready.

689
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: All their all their quotes that they taught me while

690
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 1: we were there, Uh, the DS means business. And they

691
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: held you accountable and they held me accountable and they

692
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: don't lit you slack. And I think I've kind of

693
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: kept that with me, which is something that I'm very

694
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: very very proud of. And the last thing that I

695
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: really do apply in everyday life is failure doesn't mean

696
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: it's over, and failure doesn't linger. Something about me is

697
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: when I failed at something my whole life. Say you

698
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: lose that a dance competition. You go back in the

699
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: studio and you lost. So now your whole goal is

700
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: to work to beat that loss. Right, that is your

701
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: whole goal and to do better. And that's in my life.

702
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: You know, I grew up in the competitive dance world.

703
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: But something that Special Forces taught me is you fail, Okay,

704
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: you move on and you you I was always worried

705
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: we were going to talk about that fail again or

706
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: get punished for that fail. So say, you know I

707
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: failed the backwards dive off the helicopter. There's a misserbo fail,

708
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: I go up, you failed, great go in the dry tent.

709
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: We never speak about it again. We never spoke about

710
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: a failure after the fact. It was that moment you failed,

711
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, you failed where you're going to go now?

712
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: And that is something to me that was like, failure

713
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: doesn't linger. It happened and it's over. You can choose

714
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: to let it linger, or you can choose to pick

715
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: up and move on. And that was something I was

716
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: always so afraid of failure, but now it's actually kind

717
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: of one of my favorite things that is failing. And

718
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: I know that sounds crazy, but it's like, no, if

719
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: you fail, like it doesn't it doesn't matter. It really

720
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: doesn't because no matter what, Dave's gonna keep going and

721
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: if it lingers, that's on you to eliminate it, you

722
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And so I've I've really I've

723
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: become less afraid of failure. I've become kind of more

724
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: interested in failure because it kind of spices it up

725
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I feel like that's a pretty

726
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: pretty solid place to end this Q and a thank
