Speaker 1

You're listening to Jojosuwan now with me Jojo Siua and iHeartRadio podcast. Oh, this is gonna be a fun one. I'm actually I'm really excited for this. So we've welcome back, first of all, to Jojo Sua. Now I am Jojo Siwa and this is me. Now. I feel like I

need some sort of official intro. You know, when I was a kid and I did YouTube, I head, hey, everyone is joy on, welcome, But I feel like Jojosuwan now I need like a like solid I say this every time, or maybe I don't because you know, I'm different now, so maybe that's the whole point of not having Ninja. I don't know. Anyways, not the point of today. Point of today is I am doing a Q and A for the first time since I stopped doing JoJo's

Juice years ago. I just have this thing on my YouTube channel called JoJo's Juice where every Wednesday and answer questions off of Twitter and then I would pour a different juice on my head. So you gotta juice on my life and then juice over my head. Today you are getting the juice on my life, but you are not getting the juice over my head, and mainly because this is audio. But uh, even if it was video, believe it or not, I wouldn't do that anymore. That's

such a lie. I so would. I love Jo Justice. That was so fun. Anyways, Hi, welcome back to Jon just one Now today, I am so stoked. You know, We've had a lot of podcasts now where I've had my friends on, We've gotten to talk about our shared experiences. Sother that'd be TV shows, life experiences, learning curves, all the things. But today we are taking it right back to the roots. Now we are gonna do a straight up Q and A. I asked you guys for questions

on my Instagram at it's Jojasiwa. You sent them in and I got lots of good questions to answer, and I tried my best to pick a variety of questions, you know, throughout career things to personal things, to advise things to also things that just were things that I haven't talked about necessarily, or answers that are much deeper than just a quick, little one sentence. So buckle up, because we're gonna we're gonna get real deep. We're gonna

get really deep right now. And I I don't even know if I'm coy ready for this, but here we go. We're starting off so strong. At JoJo's Underscore, paparazzi asked if you had kids, what would you name them? And I when I saw this question, I specifically flagged it because I am so in love with my idea for kids right now. For their names. All three of my kids will have the same middle name, and their middle name will just be E, just the letter E and

all of their names. So I would love to have triplets, two boys, one girl. That's like my ideal right now. Of course, all I want is healthy babies, but right now I'm in a phase where I want triplets, two boys, one girl. The girl's name is fred E because Freddie with the E initial. Then the two boys are ted and Ed. So I'll have Freddy, Eddie and Teddy. I am obsessed with there right now. I just the idea of being like fred ed ted Come here, Freddie, Eddie Teddy,

Like where am I? Where's Freddy Eddie and Teddy? Like I just uh, I think decorating the room and like putting their little names Freddy, Eddie Teddy, like, I just think it's so cute but fred E ted E ed E, I don't know. I just think it's cute anyways. Oh gosh, my poor kids. Oh I'm so excited to have babies

one day. It's gonna be the best. But Kansei se Whenater asked what moment in time would you like to relive slash do again, this is a question that I think about actually all the time, because there's been so many amazing faces in my life. I mean, of course, Dance Moms, Abby's Ultimate dance Competition, Dancing with the Stars, Special Forces, as hard and torturess as it was, I

would love to live it again. Think if I could pick a time of my life that I would only relive again, it would actually be Special Forces only because it was so short. You know. Special Forces was about a week long, little over a week long, and so the fact that it was so quick, you know, Dancing with the Stars is seventy five days, Dance Ang was two years. I got to really soak it up. But I feel like those projects for me would be would be my like winner. I think special Forces also, though

Dream the Tour era, I loved being on tour. My concert tour was my favorite thing ever. I think if I could time travel, I'd go to like Top of twenty nineteen, because then I would relive Dream the Tour again, real live Dancing to the Stars, relive mess Singer, relive Special Forces, relive coming out, relive falling in love for the first time. Like I'd get to relive all of my best moments. So I feel like I feel like

that would be my vibe. Top of twenty nineteen. Ooh, Kaylee Kaylee's sixty four Kaylee sixty four Underscore, There we go, There so he us name. Kaylee sixty four Underscore asked would you ever have any x's on the podcast? This question? I actually was so interested by my own inner thoughts because instantly my thought was like, yes, I totally would. But then I was like, but wait, who, which one and and and why? And what would you talk about? And I don't, I don't, I don't know. I my

initial answer is yes, because I would. I would welcome anybody to come on jojyesy and now that would be willing to talk about their life experiences and things they've

gone through. And I think something about me, is I really choose to look at my past and be grateful for it and so even though you know, obviously, because I'm not with any of them anymore and they're all my exes, even though things didn't work out between us, truly, I am so grateful for each and every one of them because they I mean, I'm speaking like I have fifty I have really two real ones. I have like

three fake ones, but like two real ones. And the thing is is like they both came into my life for a reason, and I'm very very grateful for that. They both taught me a lot of lessons, and they both taught me a lot of experience, and I'm very grateful for everyone that's come on to my bus and

hopped on and hopped off. But the reality of it is is I'm so young, only twenty years old, and you know, my first relationship start when I was seventeen, my second when I was nineteen, And so the thought of like it's it's okay where young, like life moves on and like odds are a teenage couple isn't gonna work out. And so I think I have a really clear perspective on like it's okay, there doesn't need to

be bad blood. Obviously, a lot more went on that than the world sees on the internet, and that can get kind of hard to see because you kind of get wrapped up in what the internet thinks. But yeah, no, I'm not not opposed to having my ex's on the podcast. I don't think I think I'd be really stressed the day that they're here, But yeah, I think it'd be kind of interesting. Maybe not anytime soon. I feel like

I need like a year to prep for that. Levia Elizabeth asked, have you gone to therapy like that wasn't required by Special Forces? This question I thought was super important to answer. I haven't. I never have. I've been on a lot of dramatic TV shows, Dance Moms, we had a set psychiatrist who was there for us if we ever needed her. Never needed her, but she was always there. And then Special Forces we have required therapy.

I'm pretty sure I'm done with all the therapy. I might have to do more towards the end anyways, But you for Forces the therapy. I actually didn't think I was gonna need it. I was like, ah, I'm chilling, I'm good. Then once trailers and stuff started to come out and I started to see things again, I was like, ooh, hey, buddy, can we do a chat? Like I did really need it and it was the first time in my life that I ever felt like I needed to talk to somebody.

I don't know. I feel like I have a really really good support system around me, and I think that if you are comfortable enough to be able to chat with your your friends and family about your life, then that's a blessing. But also sometimes it's the right step is to get professional and professional help and a professional therapist. But for me personally, I don't know. I've just kind of found my right dynamic in my own skin with my friends, with my family, and I've never gone to therapy.

I think I need it. I think I should go. I think I have a lot that I don't even realize that I just keep inside me. But I don't know. I just it's never been something that It's never been a can of worms that I've opened, and I I don't know if it ever will be, But if it ever is, then hey it is, there's nothing wrong with it. What was your favorite dance that you did in Dancing with the Stars. That is from Lily Beth twenty five

oh one. Hey, Lily Beth favorite dancing with the Stars Dance, I mean gosh, I watched the Dancing with the Stars dances all the time, So we got are You Gonna Be My Girl? Which was our quick step. We had our rain on me Cha Cha, Argentine tango, Hit Me Baby One More Time, Viennie's waltz to Dreams with Your Heartmakes Pas do Blay to Disney's Descendants Ways to Be Wicked, What do we do? After that? After that was Sandy and Frenchy, which was a foxtrot for Greece, and then

we did Next. The next week was Pennywise, which was our jazz anything Goes. The next week was Queen Weeks, so we did tango to Body Language and then another foxtrot and the relay to under Pressure. So that was Janet Jackson week, where we did a salset of feedback and we did That's the Way I Love Goes. We had a rumbach dance I Love and then it was

uh Semi Finals weeks. We had an Argentine tango to a song called Santa Maria, and we had our contemporary to anything Not Anything Goes Before You Goes what that one was called? And then the finale we had our freestyle of Born This Way and Our Cha Shat Tango fusion too. I don't care, I love it, gosh. My favorite is probably between Sandy and Frenchy Foxtrot. I really loved the feeling of that dance. Wasn't necessarily my favorite

Steps to Do, Steps to Do. I love Pennywise and I love Our Contemporary because those dances just they felt so comfortable for me because I'd done them before. You know, I grew up being a competitive dancer and so, but not anything ballroom, so any ballroom styles, Latin styles that that was out of my comfort zone. But when it came time to do contemporary and jazz, you know, I I had done that before, never partnering, but I knew what I was getting myself into. So probably those two

in Sanmium Frenchy, those were those are my favorites. What did Special Forces make you realize so much? Special Forces? This question comes from Ambar Underscore Basketball special Forces. I mean, it really did make me realize so much. It made me realize the things that I cared about, the people that I cared about, what mattered to me, what didn't matter to me? Uh, I don't know. I think I had I had a very I've always had a pretty clear perspective on life, and I've always kind of been

able to see bigger picture and things. But I think maybe in Special Forces I was actually able to see the smaller picture of like, hey, look, maybe the future doesn't matter so much. Maybe the present actually matters the most more than the future does. And so I was able to kind of find a clear balance. I actually recently just got upset at myself because I told myself, after Special Forces, I wasn't going to put my career first anymore. I was gonna put my fun first, my

friendships first, my life first. But it's a fine line because my life is my career. And I recently was just in Florida with Tyler Cameron, who I did Special Forces with. He's like, I mean, he's more than a brother to me. Now. I love that boy. And then my brother is also in Florida now, so I got to see my biological brother Jayden, and I got to see his girlfriend Abby, and I got to see my Special Forces brother Tyler, and I was having a really good time and I got asked to come home to

do a concert with a new friend. Their name is g Flip and G asked me to come perform with them, and initially my answer was actually no because I was like, I'm in Florida. I can't make it work. And then I was like, no, Jojo, you do not say no to g Flip. Get your ass on a plane and get home. So I rearranged my travel schedule and I was like, I'm gonna go home. I'm gonna do it fine. So I was supposed to be in Florida for a week.

I had to cut my trip short. I was only there for like a day, day and a half and it was super last minute. It was very hectic, but I was like, you know, what's what we do. And as I was on the plane ride home, I remember like I actually started like cry when I was telling my mom about this because I was having a lot of fun in Florida, and I told my mom, I was like, I did exactly what I said. I wasn't gonna do. I'm coming home to perform when I was

having fun with my friends and it wasn't work. We were supposed to go on a boat the next day. Then I was gonna go back up and indoor skydide with my brother, like supposed to be like pure fun for the weekend, and I was gonna be a little break, and I told myself. I was like, I'm doing exactly what I said I was gonna do, Like I came home to perform, like I came home to work, Like, Yeah, it's gonna be fun and I'm excited to do with G. But like I'm just I was sad. I was mad

at myself. But then I was like okay, Jojo, like you gotta get over it. You're doing it like you did it. You're here, You're not taking another six hours, like back to Florida, Like what are you gonna do? So I was like all right, found some fire. Went to sound check, and immediately when I walked in and it was my first time actually meeting G in person, I knew that I had made the right choice. And it was hard because I was mad at myself for

a second. But then once I walked into that sound check, I was like, oh, this is the best place I could be right now. And I had so much fun at soundcheck with G and with Lauren. They're both amazing. And then when it came time for the concert, like I literally was like this was the best choice I ever made, and it it kind of made me realize, like, look, it's not about putting your life first, it's not about

putting your career first. It's all about balance. This was a moment that I had a choice of priority or fun, and I chose priority when I told myself I was going to choose fun from now on, but I picked priority, and then I feel like the universe rewarded me by picking the right choice, by making the right choice so much fun. I mean, it literally was the best night ever.

I have a photo from that night now as my lock screen because I always set my lock screen to something that can make me instantly happy, and that photo is what can make me instantly happy right now is remembering that night, remembering performing with G and Laura and god, it was just I mean, it was the best night in g. G text me it was like, thank you so much again for changing your travel and like doing this, like I can't I can't even thank you enough for

coming tonight. And I told them I was like, it was the best choice I've made in a really long time. It was tough, but like I do not regret it at all anyway. Sorry that that got into I told you we were getting deep today. All right, If you had to choose, would you rather do Dance Moms or Forces again? Oh? Okay, honestly special Forces. I would give

anything to go back to Forces. While we were there, DSQ told us he was like, you, you're gonna miss it, and I remember all of us were like, yeah, freaking right, we never gonna miss this. I miss it, like I remember the day I told DSQ, I was like, I miss you. I never thought I would say those words, but like, I miss you bad so Forces. I love dance Moms. Sorry I didn't say who these last ones were from. That one was from JoJo's Softy So it was from Cat Cat Real Cat Real George. Sorry, sorry,

home me. I don't know how to say your name. They said, not a question. But let's talk about Lauren and g Flip. What ah, That night was so much fun. It was so much fun. Since we were just talking about it, this is a great time to talk about it a little more. I get to perform g Flip's song Gay for Me, which is such an iconic song, and I got to do it with them and with Lauren, and it was just oh, it was so much fun.

Uh Now I after the concert, I mean I watched G perform and I was watching them play the drums, and I was just like, I G is an incredible drummer. But I was watching them play and I was just like, I want to do that. I want to I want to learn that. And I tried the drum signs a little but never never never kept them around. Uh. Literally had him for like a day and then it was like now the same for me. Anyways, after I was like,

I want to drum again. I want to drum, like I want to get a drum kit, Like this is what I'm gonna be into now. And that next day Gee texted and was like, dude, if you ever want to learn the drums, like I would love to teach you. And I was like, you have no idea. Been contemplating this all freaking night, sick. So Gee, I'm actually having my first lesson with them tomorrow and they're gonna come up to my studio and teach me drums, which I'm

so excited about. Uh that concert, I told you, I was like, you have no idea, Like this was a fun night, but this was an inspiring night for me, Like I best Night and g and Lauren are the coolest freaking people in the world. Helliker aldc asked me, how did I come out to my mother? My mom actually made my coming out to her super easy. Uh, I I was. I can't. I was not scared to come out, but afraid to come out. I know those have very similar meanings. But I wasn't scared like, Ooh,

my family's gonna hate me. I was scared, like, what's my family gonna think that? I don't know? You know what I mean? I was kind of afraid of I was afraid of the unknown. And everyone kind of caught a vibe between me and the very first girl that I liked, and everyone kind of knew that, Like, oh, I was like very open to the LGBTQ community. I was very accepting, very celebrating. It was celebratory more than the average person, more than somebody who isn't a part

of the LGBTQ community, you know what I mean? Like I feel like there's I mean, I can speak as my family. Everybody else in my family besides me is straight. Sexuality is fluid, so that could change out any point in time, but everyone in my family is straight, and for a time I was. I guess I was never straight, but we'll say I was. I'm pretty sure there's a question about that coming up anyways, But I just I

don't know. I was always just a little more everyone was accepting, but I was a little more excited about the gays than everybody else. And so everyone kind of caught a vibe between me and this girl who ended up becoming my first girlfriend, and my mom kind of asked me about it, and I was like, no, no, nothing, nothing, nothing, but in my head I knew what I was feeling.

And then after, I mean art, we were on a vacation together and our vacation ended, and my mom was like, you really like her, don't you, And we weren't with her anymore. I just say goodbye, and I was in the car and I was crying. I was like yeah, and my mom was like, do you like her as a friend or is more than a friend? And I was like more than a friend and my mom was like I figured, and I was like, yeah, Like is

she I don't know. I always told myself. I was like, I will only ever this is what I always said. I said, I will only ever come out if I have a reason to or if I met Lady Gaga. I don't know why, but I always had this plan that if I ever saw Lady Gaga, I was gonna tell her. Look, I've never told anyone this, but I think I like girls. That was like always, like literally twelve year old me's game plan was like, Lady Gaga, I can tell Lady Gaga because I I don't know.

I just felt like Aga would have been like that safe space for me to be able to be the first person to come out to. So one day, if I have a megg, I will I will tell her that. Still I'll be like, look, the whole world now now knows, but you were going to be the first person that I told because I just I don't know. Something in my head was like, you can tell Gaga and she'll be all right with it. But now, I mean my coming out was was was simple because my people around

me made it simple. My people around me were very open. My people around me asked, and I now had a reason to say, yes, you know, if I didn't like a girl, or I wasn't with a girl, or say I still say I like the girl but nothing happened between us. I still would have just been like, oh no, but I couldn't deny it anymore. You know, it was right there in front of me. I had now kissed a girl, and it was like, whoa, this is real. You actually have a feeling, like what is this? And

I don't know it. It was a sweet, very innocent crush, and I just I couldn't. I couldn't hide from it anymore. It just was what it was, so I had no problem being open about it. Joe, this is actually this question is actually from the same person. This question is from Hillick or aldc as well. They said, Jojo, do you know the order of the solos? I don't. I never got told the order of the solos. Even that day they were like, not mine telling you five broke out.

Still don't know the order solos. And if you if you don't know what I'm talking about right now, then you're just too much to explain. Amber Underscore Basketball. Oh my gosh, we got another Amber Underscore basketball. How's it balancing your life with family and people you work with or your job? That is an incredible question. You know, it's it comes in phases. You know, there's times when my job requires more attention than my family and friends.

And there's times when my family and friends require more attention than my my job. You know, I always said I'm lucky because my career I've been doing it long enough now that I can just kind of do it muscle memory without thinking, you know, growing up, like I had to think from the time I was nine to probably seventeen, and then once I turned seventeen, it was

like clockwork. I could do anything that I had learned in the past eight years, the same way that think about a normal person, would you know, graduate high school at eighteen, they'd kind of take a few years, maybe we'll just say eight years, they'd take till they were twenty six to kind of figure it out, and then when you're twenty six, you kind of like you got a groove. I found that groove from the time I was I mean literally like ten to ten to eighteen,

and so I think I'm very luckier. I even guess nine to seventeen is what I was saying earlier that now it's like I can kind of do my job without thinking. The only thing is that requires a lot of time and a lot of energy, and so a lot of the times I'm just drained. My mom and I are pretty actually codependent in the workplace, and that's just because we've been fifty to fifty my whole life.

But now that I'm getting older, you know kind of this dynamic where it's like I don't need her help on everything, and she doesn't need my help on everything. And so we have a few code sayings now that we're saying and we tend to overwork, so you know, we'll work at night, we'll talk about work when somebody necessarily doesn't want to. So we just literally within this last week, put a few rules in place, and there's

two of them. Number one, at any point in time that is not between the hours of nine to five, So say it's eight in the morning or six pm at night or later. You know what I mean, you can call Dolly Parton. And that is if my mom is talking to me at eleven PM at night about something for work, I can say Dolly Parton and that means, I am I wanted to talk about this, but I've just had a day and I've worked a lot today

and I just don't have the energy. I mean to talk about it at ten o'clock at night, and she then the other person has the rule that they can't get offended by that and they just have to hold it intil the morning, make a list, write it down, or if it is super important, they can ask for a hall pass. We haven't had to do the hallpase yet, but that's kind of our New Dolly parton saying is kind of just to be a boundary of like, hey, look like I want to work, but just not right now.

And then another one that we just put in place is so that way we don't feel like we have to be so codependent. What'll happen a lot is she'll ask for my opinion on something. We're all asked for her opinion on something. Sometimes you do want the opinion, other times you just want the validation. And for me that would be like if I was, you know, putting on an outfit and like I needed her validation on

like what I was wearing. Right, she can knock three times knock knock knock, and that means that, look, I just I don't care. Don't be offended that I don't care, but I just don't care. And it's a solo project and the reason it's knock knock knock, it's because Miley Cyrus has a song on my own and is I'll do it on my own and it goes three knocks at the door and it has that in it. And so say she's doing a project and she goes, Jojo,

what what order of the song should XOMG sing? And I'll say in order and she'll be like okay, But like wait, I was like I already had it wrote down like this, and then I can just knock three times, cause like, look, that's solo project, Like you already have it in your head. You're just looking for my validation of yours, So knock, knock, knock. I care about you. I care about this, but I don't care about that, you know what I mean. And it's it's not a

bitchy I don't care. It's more just like, uh, you got this. You don't need you don't need my validation on this. You will get it no matter what you know. So that's kind of our new saying, and that's really helped balance things. Yeah, No, I mean, it's it's it's tough. It's hard. Is our our life is our work, and that's a hard balance to figure out. And that's why

I always say it's not for everybody. I always tell my girl group kids, if you don't love it now, you're never gonna love it, So stop, you know, if you don't wanna, if you you're so young that if you're if you feel like you're not right for this, don't do it. And all my girl group kids are freaking amazing. I'm so proud of those kids. They're strong as little kidos ever, they're awesome. Levy Elizabeth back with

another question. They asked, have you apologized to any of the Dance Mom girls for invalidating their trauma since reuniting. This is something that when I got asked this question, I realized it was kind of a deeper, deeper picture that I would like to talk about. I over the last few years have, honestly, I can't even say last few years, last few months, have learned other people's experiences, and that is something that when you put that into perspective,

it changes a lot. It changes a lot about how you think about things, how you think about people, how you respond to people. Is really understanding someone else's perspective. And I can say that that's something that I'm grateful that I've grown from. Now. The thing is is we did. I will say we did. On the reunion, we talked

about the trauma that I talked about online publicly. The only ever ways that I've shaded people Dance Moms wise is Brooke made a joke about Abby online, which I learned it was a joke and you'll hear more about this in the reunion and I said, look, it's one thing to say it, but to just deny it. But it's an abbe Le account, not Abby herself. Friend requestedt Brooke, and Brooke was like, uh what. I at the time

thought she was being serious. She was making a joke like she knew it was an Abby, she was making cracking a joke about it. I commented, it's one thing to just deny, but it's another to post about it. Just keeps something like this to yourself. Now, that is something that I still do believe. That is, if you don't have something that is positive to say about somebody, then just like look, keep it to yourself. However, I also believe in standing up for your people, and I

think Brooke was standing up for herself that post. And I think I was standing up for my friend by that post. And I didn't know book at the time. Now, Brooke and I are very cool with each other. We've had some incredible talks, like it's been it's been really great. But it's it's I don't know, I think something got put into my head of like, look, the same way it's okay for you to defend your friend, it's also

okay for her to defend herself. So if I go back in time, probably just wouldn't take the effort to comment, you know what I mean, Like, I'd probably just also keep my opinion to myself, which is something that I've learned, you know, throughout a lot of situations on the internet, specifically for me, like with the Cannas Cameron situation with

my exes. The only time now that I will speak about somebody is if I am being accused of something that I didn't do or didn't didn't happen, which did happen recently a few a few lies have been said about me, And look, a story is a story. There's always going to be multiple sides of the story. There's always going to be one side, A side, B side, and then there's gonna be the truth. And I don't, I don't. I think I've learned that it's okay for someone to share their side as long as it doesn't

hurt somebody else. And that happened to me where somebody was sharing their side, but there was a lot of lies on their side to glorify them when I actually legally can't talk about what happened. And that's something that you know, gets hard when people are saying something online about you and coming at you and then blaming at you.

But people people can't even know the truth because I can't legally talk about the truth, and that that is hard because it's you're just seeing the comments every single day and you're seeing people tell you're a bad person every single day, and you ruin this person, and I'm like, you don't even know the start of it, not even the half of it. You don't even know a fourth of it. Like it's and so people, I've learned, really

love to believe lies on the internet. It is so fun for people to believe, and a lot of things are true, a lot of things are twisted, and a lot of things are false, and people love to jump and agree and join the most dramatic because it's the most entertaining, and people like what's entertaining. Think about dance moms. You don't remember the fun good days. You remember the fights. People like the entertaining stuff. Think about vander Pump. Tell

me one other thing that's happened on vander Pump. I gonna. I've never watched vander Pump. I don't know, but I sure as hell know about Scandabal, not just because I'm friends with him, but after the fact of Special Forces, everyone's been like, oh my god, so tell me about Tom Standibal And I'm like, that's the one thing people remember, you know what I mean. But long story short, I've learned that it's it's it's a shit thing to do

to invalidate someone else's feelings. And that is something that I have done a few times and I've definitely learned. But it is okay to stand up for yourself, and it is okay to stand up for your friends. And overall, people are going to pick sides. It's gonna happen. I wish it didn't have to happen, but it does happen, and people will. And just remember that in life, no matter what, time keeps moving and time keeps going on,

and we only have so long on this earth. Unfortunately, the world today loves to focus on the bad, but there is good, So don't get lost and caught up in the bad. Remember the good. Oh, and then back to the original question invalidating the trauma. The other thing was Christie. I responded to Christy because she was saying bad things about Gianna, and Gianna is somebody that I

love and adoor still to this day. She is the freaking awesomest again me realizing people did have different experiences, but also me realizing that Christy is a forty seven year old woman. She should know not to say mean things about someone on the internet, which I also didn't know the lesson at the time, And I think Christy probably learned the lesson at the same time that I did. I think I, just as a kid, thought she would have already known the lesson, and so I came at her.

I did watch the video back just recently during the Dance Lungs reunion, and I was like, ah, now, Jojo, that was a little much. That was a little much, like you didn't need to go that hard in her. I feel like now I would still stand up for Gia, but I'd be like, hello, dude, I understand you had a different experience with Gia, but let's just keep things nice. If you don't got anything nice, I just don't say I'm at all. I feel like that's how I do

it now. However, at the time I went in on her, which I mean, I don't know that it's how I felt at the time. But we did talk about it, we did clear the air. Everything's cool again. Look what did Tom Hollands say? He said, if you have a problem with me, text me, and if you don't have my number to text me, then you don't have a reason to have a problem with me. And that I mean is it's straight fire. It's a baller quote. All right. Moving on to a better topic, Robin dot Spring two

point zero asked any advice on coming out. Yes, it's hard. Even for people who it might look easy for, it is still very hard. The best part is after once you're out and you never have to do it again. But the first time you come out as the hardest. I think, pick somebody who might not even be your closest person, but pick somebody who you know you're gonna get a good reaction from as your first person that

you come out to. Because that will give you your first time to say it, and then you know that that person's gonna be supportive, you know what I mean. If there's another person that is a member of the LGBTQ community that you can come out to, I would start there because they they've been there, they've come out, they understand, or maybe they haven't come out, and maybe

you two can help each other. But I think start there, start with someone safe, and work your way to that person that you are hard like that is hardest to come out to, but be brave. Coming out is the best thing. It is a gift to be able to come out, be brave. Know that everyone in this generation that's coming out is paving the way for the next

generation for it to not be awkward. And I think the younger that we get, I mean, obviously, I know we're all getting old with time, but I came out when I was seventeen, and I think that opened the door for a lot of kids to see, oh, she's seventeen and coming out. So I think the more we can normalize it, the better. But coming out, I mean, it's hard. I wouldn't sugarcoat it and say it's easy, but just pick a safe person and go for it. You're just softy. Ask what's your favorite under you drink?

I had to throw a just fun answer question that this video is not sponsor, but Ghost Energy drink is my favorite right now. Every flavor I love blue, Raspberry, Tower, watermelon, red raspberry, cherry lime, made lime, ough, They're all so good. Favorite moment with you and Jenna. Actually just had a

really sweet moment with Jenna. I had Jenna on the podcast and I got to read her my death note that I wrote on Special Forces because I wrote it to her and anytime I read this death note, I sob and it's a very hard thing for me to read. It puts me back in a place where I was one of my lowest, literally writing a death note after I hadn't seen family, hadn't talked to anybody for multiple days. And so I finally got to read her little part of it, and I mean it broke me, but it

also built me more than ever. While we're on favorite memories with people, I got favorite memory with Tyler Cameron on Special Forces. My favorite memory with Tie on Forces is when we were chopping wood and I ran the accent into my leg and Tyler was like, oh, shot, because not only Tyler when he tells the story. Oh no, Actually I have a better memory. Now we're boarding mission, I have a better memory. My favorite memory is day two. I became fashion police because they would get mad at us.

That yes, would get mad at us and punish us if we didn't all look the same. So finally I was like, all right, well, I'm taking on this role of telling everyone how to look because look, you put me and Jack Osborne and Nick and Tyler and body Miller in a room. Which one of us is gonna know what her wardrobe is supposed to look like. Which one of us is gonna notice whose sock is pulled up higher than the others, the twenty year old psychotic dancer,

That's who's gonna know. And so I was like, all right, I'm taking on this role. So I used to tell the boys. I'd be like, we're wearing this because we had a few different layers that we could choose between. I'd be like, everyone, put this on and make sure that we're doing three buttons, zip pockets, gloves in the pockets.

Like I just started to tell everyone, And then as we would run out to the braid square stand out by the door, and I would be like, Tyler, your right button, and he would look at his right buttons undone, and I body, you're missing your own band Jack. Your shoes are different than everybody else's tire shoes, right, Like I just started to really police everybody up, which is something that DS wanted us to do, but no one

was kind of taking over and doing it. And the duty recruit, who was like the lead of the recruits for the day, was supposed to do that, and that role was ever changing. But that was something that people wouldn't even necessarily notice if one button was missing, but I could look at everybody and see instantly who was off. And that I mean it does come from being a dancer and cleaning dances and looking at wardrobe and costumes

and so anyways, I became wardorab police. And in the beginning day two three four, even really day no, as they did two three and four, the boys would get like annoyed. They'd roll their eyes at me, they'd kind of scoff and you know what I mean, Like it was funny to see, but I was always I was always right. I would never do it to be annoying. I would never do it to tell them what to do. I would just do it so we didn't get in trouble.

And so like they would come in and they take their armband off and they would like leave it on the floor, and I'd be like, put your arm band on, otherwise you're gonna forget it. And they'd be like Jojo, and I'd be like and they'd be like, you're right, and I was like, I know. Anyways. One of my favorite memories with Tyler's I think it was like Dave five or six. He comes up to me, he was like, hey, Jojo, we checked my outfit and I was like, absolutely, I will.

And that moment for me was such a like, Okay, these boys actually understand now where I'm coming from, the fact that this grown thirty year old man's like, we've checked my whole pretty like. I just that moment for me,

I was like, ah, you're a good one, bro. Like I've had to yell at these boys, and now now not only would I check this out and be like no, you're good, like you're in like I got them conditioned on how to wear their wardrobe, but it was the fact that he like wanted the like the check now. It just it made me really really happy. Ooh, pass this, paz d sss. I don't know how to say that. I'm going with pad pasts. Are you talking slash seeing anyone right now? I bet you'd like to know fully not?

I no, no, I'm not. I'm not. I told myself in the beginning of twenty twenty three, it's like, I'm not dating all this year. And I talked to a few people throughout the year. I've talked to I'd say two people. I would I would say two people. It's fair to say I've talked to two different people throughout the year. And yeah, both just never never really went anywhere.

They ended before they even started, basically and uh yeah, miss mother and really holding me to my you ain't dating all of twenty twenty three rule, and so good news is the the year is almost over HILLI gray eil easy back with another one. They asked, did you really have a crush on Colonie when you were young? Absolutely not. Colonie also joined jojoun Now and we talk all about this something she listened to it. We talk all about my crush on her that I did not have.

But I don't know man, I mean me and Colonie. We'd be cute together. It's never happening, but we'd be cute.
