WEBVTT - Valentine's Day 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:05.200 You're listening to Jojasua Now with me Jojo Siua and 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:12.080 iHeartRadio podcast. Oh, Happy freaking Almost Valentine's Day, or if 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:14.600 you're listening to this podcast more than two or three 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:18.960 days after it comes out, Happy After Valentine's Day. Today, 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.960 we are going to deep dive into one of the 0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:29.479 most loved and hated holidays that there is. Oh my gosh, 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:32.800 Valentine's Day. See, here's the thing with Valentine's Day. I 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.960 feel like, if you are in a relationship, it has 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:42.199 the potential to be the absolute best day of the year. Now, 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.919 there are some cases I've experienced this where it can 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:47.280 actually be the worst day of the year because you're 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.200 expecting it to be the vest Lin it just comes 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.040 tumbling down faster than you can hold on to it. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.760 But also, if you're not in a relationship, it's kind 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.319 of a confusing day. And h That's where I'm at 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.880 this year. Now, don't get me wrong, I am definitely 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:05.440 like out there this year twenty twenty three, I was 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.360 very much so like here, I'm not talking to anybody. 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:13.199 I am staying shingle. This year, I'm like, yo, let's 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:17.120 find some loan that sounds fun. But I haven't done 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:22.120 that yet by Valentine's Day, so that's that. But it's interesting. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:26.320 I actually have found that I enjoy Valentine's Day more 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.400 not in a relationship, and that truly is just because 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.760 my experience of Valentine's Day being in a relationship is 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.360 a bit jenky. And we will deep dive into that 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.559 a little bit. I don't want to get too deep 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.840 into it because it is a pretty dramatic story, but 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.319 we'll get into that in the middle of this podcast 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:49.000 at some point in time. But I will say, asides 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:53.840 from that one Valentine's Day mishap, I do actually really 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.680 really think it is a fun holiday. I love seeing 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.840 what people do for each other. I like celebrating it 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.360 with people who I'm not in a relationship with a 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.720 friend's family. I think that is something that is so 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.680 cute that you can do. What do people do like 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.800 their little Gallantines. I think it's just it's fun. It 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.640 can be a fun holiday. I remember when I was little, 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.200 there was this one Valentine's Day where I was actually 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.280 in Palm Springs with my grandma and grandpa and it 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.160 was just me, just my mom, and then it was 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:24.000 actually my dad's parents, so it was my mom's in laws, 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:25.959 and so it wasn't like we were with her mom 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.960 or her dad. It was just it was the opposite 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.480 side of the family. Anyways, Cubic game and brought me 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:35.320 like this like cutey little like heart basket and it 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.400 was like a little Teddy bear and it was like 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.760 fun because especially as a kid, you know, you don't 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:43.240 even really know what Valentine's Day is or like what 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.720 it's about. You just you know the Easter money comes 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.080 and you go egg hunting and that's what Easter is, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.640 but you don't You're like, what the heck is Valentine's 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:52.720 Day about? And so for my grandparents have my mom 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.359 to do that for me on Valentine's Day. It's one 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.600 of those memories that's so interesting because I have no 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.480 photos of it. My family and I never talk about it, 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:06.360 but somehow it is actually like really deeply engraved in 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.240 my memory, which is a little confusing because I feel 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.480 like from the time I was younger, the only memories 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.120 that I have are things like that I've seen on 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.400 my mom's Facebook or that I've been told about. But 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.400 that Valentine's Day memory is something that we never talk about. Actually, tonight, 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:22.919 I want to talk to my mom about that and 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.359 see if she remembers that the same way that I do. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:30.280 I mean, I was probably four three, I was little. 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.120 I was really really little. But hey man, it's deep, deep, 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:39.880 deep engraved in my brain. I've actually had one Valentine's 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.560 Day where I was in a relationship. I had two 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.320 Valentine's Days, uh so one on one in the relationship 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.120 and then another one where I was talking to somebody 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.320 but it never went anywhere, but it was. It was 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.080 it was actually kind of like a cute vibe to 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.760 like be like we're celebrating Valentine's Day where each other's 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.800 Valentine's but we're not each other's Valentine's shit. Like it 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.280 was like it was like we're not because like that'd 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.080 be weird, but like we are because like I think 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.320 you're you're cool and you think I'm cool. It was, 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.119 it was cute vibe. But I've only ever had one 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.200 Valentine's Day where I was in a serious, serious relationship. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.400 And I think where I went wrong is I was 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.400 expecting it to be the most magical day to freaking 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.800 ever happen, and I we we were not gonna be 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.919 with each other in person, but we were, you know, 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.560 of course, going to FaceTime and cooked dinner together over 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.080 the phone, and we had we had we had really 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:39.120 cute plans and yeah, it just it just came tolling 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.040 down really really fast. And it's actually like a joke 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.039 that we still talk about today, like of what a 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.039 freaking hot mess express and wreck it was. But I 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.279 think just creating the expectation of like, oh, this day 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.479 is gonna be so big, I mean I think I 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:54.960 think I thought it was gonna be like my wedding 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.000 day or something like. I was really really to the nine. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.280 So for any first time or was out there there, 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.480 if this is your first time being in a relationship. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.680 For Valentine's Day, I can't tell you how to have 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.680 a good one, but I can tell you how to 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.560 avoid a bad one, and that is by overhyping it 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.640 to be a super, super incredible one. Go in, have fun. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.880 Is Valentine's Day. It's meant to be light. It is 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:22.760 not the biggest day of the year. It is not 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.800 your anniversary, it is not your birthday, it is not Christmas. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.640 It's just Valentine's Day. It's a day to give some 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.919 extra love. So if I could give any advice to 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.880 any any first timers out there going into your first 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.599 relationship based Valentine's Day, just enjoy it. Don't try to 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.280 make it something that doesn't need to be. Because I've 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:44.000 been there, I've done that, and I will never do 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.480 that again. Also, if there's any people out there who 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.040 have any advice for me, please be my guest. I 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.440 need all the advice in the relationship world for me 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.760 this year. I feel like Valentine's Day, I'm actually gonna 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.440 be in Atlanta, where so who knows, maybe I'll go 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.760 on a tender date or something. But actually that's one 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.240 thing that I'm gonna do. This whole topic you'll hear 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.560 about this next week. Dating as a celebrity. It's very interesting. 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.719 I can't actually have like dating app profiles because they 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.800 see my name, they get deleted, and I, you know, 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:21.880 I put my put my driver's license in, I put 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.000 my passport in, get deleted.

Yeah, 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.720 We'll get into that next week. Enjoy that that's gonna 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.520 be that's gonna be a fun topic to deep dive on. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.760 Back to Valentine's Day. This year, I'll be working. I 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.800 feel like I'm gonna like want to have a friend 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.920 like come down to in landa they hang out with 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.920 me or something.

It's gonna be crazy. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:13.480 Expect a podcast about that one when I get back. Ideally, 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:18.120 my perfect Valentine's Day this year, Oh man, if I 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.400 could find a girlfriend in the next day, if we 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.560 counna have a nice movie night, that would be my 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.320 ideal Valentine's Day. But I can't. So let me just 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.520 fantasize here for a second. All right, I'm just gonna 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:32.480 fantasize for a bit. I feel like my perfect Valentine's Day, Okay. 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.120 You know what I've always wanted to do, like a 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:39.200 movie based date, so like I see people do it 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:41.800 with ratituey all the time. I've actually never seen Rati Twoe, 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.640 so I can't speak on it, but I'm gonna I'm 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.240 gonna use Elf as an example because I feel like 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.840 a lot of people have seen Elf. I know the 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.160 ins and outs of Elf. And so even though it's 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.760 not like a love movie, just like stick with me 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.040 here for a second. So we wake up in the 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.320 morning and we watch the movie and we get inspired. Now, 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.680 all the actions are pre activity are pre planned, the 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.480 meals are pre planned, but we watch a movie in 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.080 the morning to get inspired. So then like you know 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.000 how he for breakfast and Elf has the spaghetti with 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.920 all the like fricking candy and all that stuff on it. 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.240 We would do that, you know what I mean, we 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.760 would have we would have that for breakfast, and then 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.000 our day, you know, we would spend it in New 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.920 York City. We'd go into the we'd find we'd google 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.760 World's Best coffee shop, and we'd go there. We'd go, 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.400 you know, into the bedstore that like sells the mattresses 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.440 and like go jump on them, just like get kicked 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.400 out for fun and like make a memory. We'd frogger 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.400 across all of the streets to like that's what he 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:37.560 did in the movie, you know what I mean, go 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.280 around revolving doors, because that's how he was. We'd do 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.160 like just like funny things that like you could do 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.719 that like was in the movie, to have like a 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.320 full day inspired by the movie, right, and then eat 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.839 all the food again. So like in that meal they 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.240 had another spaghetti dinner, but this stuff was good spaghetti 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.040 with I think doctor Pepper. Right, So we'd go out 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.000 for like fancy dinner, get some fancy spaghetti, and then 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:00.800 have some Doctor Pepper, you know what I mean, just 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:05.000 like really live it up. And then we go home 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.600 at night, we cuddle up, we cozy up, and what 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:13.320 do we do. We watch the movie again. Now, reason 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.840 being we watched the movie again is because think about 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.080 while watching the movie, the laughs that we would have 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.360 about ourselves being idiots throughout the day, like having those moments, 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:25.559 you know what I mean. We'd see him eat the 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.280 breakfast and be like, oh yeah, that was so good, 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.560 this running haha and it he's so cute, so fun 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:34.920 and so cudly. Obviously Elf is a very very random 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:36.640 movie to do it with, but it was just so 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.960 easy to give the visual concept while you're probably just 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.200 listening to this, but you get what I mean. And 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.720 I think it would be so cute, so fun. I've 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.760 yet to do that. I think that'd be a perfect date. Look, 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.080 even if it's not Valentine's Day, because odds are with 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.599 the track that I'm on right now, not gonna have 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.640 a girl by Valentine's Day. But that would just be 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.320 a cute date to do throughout any time of the year. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.320 I feel like that's something that like you can only 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.840 do in your twenties. I mean, I feel like you're 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.040 doing it. It would just be word if my parents 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:08.520 did it, you know what I mean. And my parents 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:13.599 my parents are God, my mom is forty nine. She 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:18.880 just turn forty nine, and my dad is fifty three. 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.640 They could just turn fifty three, maybe fifty four, I 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.000 don't know. But so that would be something that like 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:26.280 I would be like, all right, why are you all 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.600 recreating out for a date night? Like that's strange, but literally, like, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.240 if that's your vibe, that's your vibe, live it up. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.000 But I feel like that would that's that's that's my 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.000 perfect Valentine's Day. I feel like it is a day 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.640 you do gotta go above and beyond if you're in 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.840 a relationship and do something like that, Like I feel 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.880 like that is a pretty extravagant adventure. But if you 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.880 don't like to go above and beyond, I feel like 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.959 just a nice sweet day cooking together, baking together. Oh 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.800 my god. Another cute one would be like if for 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.200 a Valentine's Day gift, I got my significant other, whoever 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.640 got their significant other like these like huty little baking outfits, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.880 and then a bunch of stuff to bake, like get 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.720 muffin mix and cookies and cakes, and like all day 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.520 long you are just baking. You're baking as much stuff 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:15.480 as you possibly can, right, Cookies, cupcakes, cakes, muffins, everything 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:19.560 you can think of, brownies, freaking all of the above, rice, 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.280 crispy trees, oh my gosh, like think of baskets you 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.600 can make. Right, then you just have fun making it 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.439 all day long. You're eating it all day long. You're 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.400 having fun with it all day long. You're listening to 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:31.200 fun music all day long. And then after you could 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.000 eat it, you could take it to like you could 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.560 take your shelter and don't you could take to a 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.640 fire station. You could do something good with it. Man, 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.920 I need these dates to happen if my future girlfriend 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.640 is listening to this. Dear future girlfriend, here's a few 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.840 things you need. If my future girlfriend's listening to this, 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.400 those are the dates that I want to go on. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:59.360 He boy, oh boy, I will say. One Valentine's Day, 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.160 this is the same one that was a little bit strange, 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.679 but I got actually one of the best best Valentine's 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.319 Day gifts from the person I was dating at this time, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:13.360 and it was Lady Gaga Oreos. There was a lot 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.760 in the Valentine's DA package, but the Lady Gaga Oreos, 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.440 Oh my god, we're so good. So the story was 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.559 I was in Canada actually, and so they didn't make 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.679 them and they were exclusive only in America, and so 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.560 she went out and bought them for me and shipped 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:30.960 them to me, and it was freaking awesome. That was 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.280 for sure the best Valentine's Day gift that I've ever received. Oh, lies, 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.520 I take that back. I think Ezra got his tattoo 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:43.280 for Valentine's Day. No, it so was for Valentine's Day. Okay, 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.240 So we were we were on tour and this was 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.680 in twenty twenty two and as were at the time. 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.720 I mean we we we we were very very very close. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:57.280 And the thing about Ezra is him and I have 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.319 a very very very special relationship. It's a very very 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.840 interesting unconditional love that I think, no matter what we 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.200 go through in life, and I mean I think he 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:12.120 would probably say the same thing, we will always unconditionally 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.320 love each other no matter what. And anyways, so go 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.920 back to twenty twenty two Valentine's Day. He was my 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.920 Valentine and we lived it up like we are both 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.360 the gay as gay can be, but we you would 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.199 have thought we were married for the day. Anyways, he 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.240 loses all his things, and so for him I got 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:33.120 him like eight air tags and all the different holders 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:34.440 and like things have put it on, and then some 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.480 like Cuty candy and some Cuty fidget toys because he 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.760 was fishing with everything at the time, and so just 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:42.520 like some Cuty things that he needs. And he comes 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:43.880 up to me and he was like, I have to 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:45.760 just show you what I got you. You don't get 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.440 to keep it, but I have to show it to you. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.400 And he had gotten my logo tattooed in white on 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.040 his I believe it's on his left leg right above 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.320 his kneecap might be on his right leg and now 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:02.880 it's I'm stuck quite literally stuck on him. And that 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.280 I mean, it was just so special, like what are like, 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.480 that's that's something that you only do for someone that 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.720 you know is gonna be around for forever. And that 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.000 is something that I will forever, forever cherish and that 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.400 was that was a sweet memory. He did it while 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.880 we were out on tour and it was just cute. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:20.200 I remember the day he showed it to me, and 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.400 then the healing process and it's scatting and then he 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.960 had this like bright red version of my logo and 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.240 then it ended up being really cool. It's a white tattoo. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.160 It's that was very special Valentine's I guess. So I'll 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:37.080 give that one to Ezra. There are actually Jojo like 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.920 Valentines out there. Jojo see what branded kids Valentines. There's 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.800 a bunch of different ones. There's these little gummy rings 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.000 that you can put in like Valentine's Day boxes. There's cards, 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.640 there's been like the things that you take to school, 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.680 you know, where it's like like pencil pack and stuff 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.080 like that. There's a bunch of different Jojo Valentine's ay cards, 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.160 and that is one of the products actually that when 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.760 I saw it in store the first time, I was like, dang, 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.560 my face is on that too, Like that's he said. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:08.480 I never I never knew what my face was gonna 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.400 be on. I know that sounds very very strange, but 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.000 the way that it was all structured. A lot of 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.280 times products would come out in stores and I would 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.320 be seeing them for the first time, which at first 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.000 was something that made me very upset. But then once 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.200 I realized kind of the scale that things were on, 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.920 I realized, oh, there's just like no way they could 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.720 be like, hey, here's every single thing we're doing. And 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.720 so seeing the Jojo Valentines for the first time was 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.520 very interesting. I mean it was kind of like when 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.280 I saw the band aids for the first time. Or 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.320 there was like these like crunch packs, which is a 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.880 like lunch kit type of thing that has apples, fruit 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.760 snacks and animal crackers. There's like a little JoJo's juice 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:53.000 like energy drink or vitamin drink can. There's so many 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.280 crazy Jojo products, but I feel like there's like those 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.000 very certain ones. I was just like, dang, we really 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:02.000 did that like, that's that's pretty wild. Like seeing the 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:06.120 SpongeBob and Mickey Mouse and Jojo Valentines. That was something 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.240 that was very strange for me about my head around 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.560 and what was always crazy to me. And I did 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.280 this with all of my products, is I would go 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.800 into the store and I would see them and I 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.880 would compare it to what was next to it. So 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.960 just say my doll was next to an Elsa doll, 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.960 I would be I would take note of like, whoa, 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:27.080 there was one Jojo doll left, And a lot of times, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:28.720 I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna say that 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.200 about Elsa specifically because I also obviously still selling today 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.400 she sells very very well. But normally whatever I was 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.640 next to there was a lot more of. And I 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.840 noticed that with Halloween costumes and the Valentines. I noticed 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.680 that with there was a lot of everything that was 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.400 next to up, but only one or two Jojo Valentines left. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.640 And so every time I was at the store, i'd 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.240 buy them because I just like, if there's only one 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.200 or two, like I want to have one. I want 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.160 to play. Uh. I feel like this year I need 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.440 people to give Valentines too. I could give them to 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.400 the people that I'll be working with. That'd be cute. 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:06.280 I could make everyone like a cute little Valentine. Oh wait, 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.280 I think I'm gonna do that. That'd be such a 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.280 fun project too, for me to do for the fierce 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.080 few weeks. WHI I'm in Atlanta. Yes, that's happening. That 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:25.120 is happening. That is absolut freaking lutely happening. If I 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.520 was a kid right now and I could go to 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.840 the store and pick out a Valentine and make it 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:35.880 like for my classroom, Oh my god, that's freaking precious. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.800 I remember I got. I don't think I ever got 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.680 to for school, but I think I remember my brother 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.919 doing it, and I got to for dance, like you 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.399 know how like in classes, like in school in grade school, 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.879 you take it to like your class and you have 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.920 your little box that you make with a little hole 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.720 in it. Then you pass them out and you get 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.040 some That is one of those things about school that 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.000 I alas. I always was like, oh my brother got 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:58.680 to do that, and I don't like I always thought 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.680 that was cute, But then I always got too. With 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.280 dancing at the dance studio, we're always in a Valentine's 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.520 exchange like that. If I was a kid, now, oh 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.440 my gosh, I would go so full out Freddy, Eddie 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.679 and Teddy one day. And my babies, they have no 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:14.199 clue what they were getting themselves into. I saw this, 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.200 I saw this Instagram pos I was like a breakfast 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.960 charconery board, and I was like, oh, Freddie, Eddie and 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.160 Teddy will be waking up to a breakfast charcreery board 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.840 every single morning. I cannot wait for it. If anyone 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.000 doesn't know, Freddy, Eddie and Teddy are my future children 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.159 one day. I talk about them all the time. People 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:33.320 in my life at first are like, oh, Freddy, Andie 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.520 and Teddy, like this is a hilarious joke. But then 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.760 they realize like, oh wait, she's not kidding. No, no, no, 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.159 I'm not kidding at all. So yeah, Freddy Andie and 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.520 Teddy are my my pretend babies. Freddy's a girl, Eddie 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.000 and Teddy are twin boys, and one day they will 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:48.880 be here. But those kids, oh my god, they're gonna 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.000 have the most full out Valentine's Day boxes, No Valentines, 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.760 no dating. Think I'll let my kids date when they're 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:59.240 like you know what. Here's what I'll let my kids 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:02.119 date when they are mature enough, not old enough, when 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.600 they are mature enough to make a good decision about 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.840 who they want to spend a lot of their time with. 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.600 If you are thirteen and there's another good kid influence 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:13.679 around you that you want to hang out with a bunch, 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.240 live your life. But if you're thirteen and there's a 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.160 bad kid that you're like, man, this person's hot. Mother's 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.919 girl boy, I don't care. I don't care who my 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:25.600 kids end up with. But if they're like, all, this 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.679 kid's hot, I like them. It's a bad person. This 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:31.240 is great. No, that's not happening. That's not happening. If Freddy, 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:32.800 Eddie and Teddy can make a good decision at a 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.360 young age, that's fine. Go for it, have fun, live 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.199 your life, be smart, call me when you need me. 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.439 But if they can't, that's on the base things on 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:42.240 the base. Things with Freddy, Eddie and Teddy will when 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.679 they're mature enough. Same thing with like getting a phone 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.000 when you're returned of I should do a whole podcast 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.520 about the future of my momhood, because then in a 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.639 few years I could make a podcast listening back and 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.760 probably laughing at myself. Oh my god, that's actually great. 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.840 I fully want to do that. That'd be so fun. 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.879 I will say A fun part about Valentine's Day is 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.680 it is a great time of the year for the 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.920 best love movies. I specifically am a romcom girl. One 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.639 of my favorite freaking movies in the whole world is 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.720 Just Go with It. If you've never seen this movie 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:21.760 with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, you are freaking missing 0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.720
