JT talks Working Like A New Artist, Managing Trolls on Social Media & More

Spot on the five point one. Jake t is in the building today. Look at my girl.

You know, I love you.

I feel like ever since we had our little moment on the podcast, I'll just be wanting to ride for you and be wanting to support you, and and I'm like cheer, I'm like big sense cheering you on from the sidelines.

And super proud of you.

They love that interview.

I was going to ask you, what was the response because we talked about a lot of things that maybe you don't normally talk about.

It was everything like that was probably my most viral, you know, interview, and they took a lot from me and they loved me more after that interview.

It wasn't Missy. It was very informative.

I feel like people got to know the history of you and how you became you and your family. I just felt like you came in ready to, I don't know, just share a different part of you. Sometimes that's scary, though, you know, sometimes that's.

Scary therapeutic and you right, you know that you.

Was gonna do therapy after that. That never happened, right, Well, did they do.

Therapy for like a little bit?

And then I don't know, I don't think I was with the right therapist because they had X for like a donation shut up so quick, and I was like, I don't know if it was.

The right company donation for like their charity or something.

But like, I don't even even remember.

It was something towards something, And I was like, I just got here.

Like asking me for money. I just got here, right. First of all, therapist is like dating. You're not going to find the right one on the first time, ye know, you have to have a couple of bad dates before.

You find somebody and you're like, oh, I could rock with this person.

Yeah.

I was like, it's like after that, it wasn't a bad experience.

She wasn't a bad lady. But I just like, do.

I even need therapy because it's given, like everybody needs something right now.

That's that's definitely not what it's supposed to be. But you seem to be doing good. How did your mom respond to it? Because we talked about your relationship with your mother and some of the challenges growing up, and well.

She loved it. Mom loved it. My cousin's time me. You don't go back on it, do that? No?

No, they didn't.

Why what did you It always be the damn cousins.

My family, my and my cousins was like hey.

Now, but my my mom, she was okay with it.

She was okay with you. She's in a great place. Yeah, I love that.

She she must be happy for you right now.

Yeah she is.

But my mom is like very very like save right now. And so she didn't even come to my release party because she was like, oh, I have to, like, you know, stay on track with her word and like.

Well what is that? When did that happen after we talked?

Or no, my mom being I told you the part that she got saved.

But she's like getting back on track because she felt like she was liked but proud of me overall. Yes, she is proud of me. And she listened to it and she taught me which one was her favorite.

And which is her favorite?

I think uncle wow, because she's from like that's her area.

Yeah, that's so dope. You out here working like a new artist right now?

Yeah, what does that feel like? First of all, by yourself, that's different for.

You know, Yeah, it is, it's different. It's very very very different from me. But yeah, I am working like a new artist because I'm reintroducing myself, and it's like a little more difficult than being a new artist because you got people who are not going to let go of a certain you and a certain thing in a certain sound.

So your fans are very.

They're just passionate. They feel very entitled in a certain way to like they feel connected to how you came out, and so that brings a lot of opinions in a lot of right.

Yes, sometimes it ain't that bad. No, it ain't bad as I thought it was gonna be. I did say a little something, but they don't be really talk about now, and it's it's literally not as bad as it I think it is. I mean I thought it would be. But I'm like a new artist. But I'm not a new artist at all. I want to say that. But I work like a newartists because it's very much reintroducing myself, like as myself without like attaching myself.

What is the difference is what is JT?

What is the difference between JT as part of the City Girls versus JT or you know, like, what's the biggest difference you think.

I don't really think it's much of a difference. Honestly, not artistically or not artistically. I just always think I was fired. I think that I always had it. I just feel like I'm just doing it like a longer like a longer song.

Sometimes when you have a partnership with somebody, two things either happen. Number One, it could get annoying because you have to collaborate all the time. So when you're on the same page, it's great. But if you have a different artistic thing, there's always somebody that has an opinion. And when it's a two, when it's more than one person, but that's gone.

It could be freeing or it could be scary sometimes.

I mean, I love it. I love it. I love it. It's freeing, it's fun.

I haven't really been in the artistic space in probably a couple of years. So just being only focused on that is everything, and not just being a social like.

And just because I used to be on.

Yeah, at one point I was like, oh my god, the music ain't coming fast enough.

What am I doing with my life?

So right now, just being solidly focused on the music, it's just a good feeling.

I feel like that's one thing that has changed about me. I'm only what's that.

What's that process though in the studio, like because it's different now you're by yourself.

I always kind of being by myself in a studio, but because I lived, it's we lived, we moved, We was in separate places at the end, but.

Same old like I just be in there, being in control. Did you see the documunity?

I saw parts when you were talking about like going to those small clubs and how people was responding to the small clubs.

I think more so to the end of it.

Yeah, it was more so me in the studio with the producers and how I was when I was creating.

I had fun.

I had so much fun creating, even though it was like crunshein. I had a great time.

I loved that. For you deserve to be having fun at this point.

Are you having fun?

Are you happy? Like?

Are you I'm having so much fun. I'm happy. I just did a pop up shop yesterday. I left my juv State go hard love that.

They're called Juvi's Girl.

They named themselves because I wann't name them that because I would have thought of something really cute, but they liked that name, so I just I'm.

Just supporting them. It's funny and right, and it's been nothing but love and support overall.

Yeah, that's so good. And you did what did you do when you did?

You did an event in Brooklyn yesterday, Yes, a couple of them. You had like a couple of events in the city. I feel like you've done a couple of things in the city now.

Yeah.

I had the prom giveaway.

Yeah, I did a prom group away the cities, Cinderella Prom dress giveaway in Brooklyn.

I did that.

And then I I always had I think I had like two pop up shops here, two day pop up shops because New York goes very hard. It's one of my Yeah, they love me. Yeah, I can say that they come and they support me. It was a day before and it was like over two hundred people they showed up yesterday, So that was major. And I told them like the night before and I'm pretty sure if more could have came, they would if they didn't have work.

So yeah, and then the charity sounds so dope.

Yeah.

And I just remember you telling me too, like just how they treated you.

When you are when you were away and you were inside, and how much it must mean to people for you to represent that way for women who are you know what I mean? Yeah, I changed their life trying to Like they felt so connected to you even when you were inside. You can only imagine how inspirational it is for them to see what you're doing now.

They were very happy when I announced it, Like last year in July. I feel like I represent so much so.

They just love me.

I love them back, like the people that support me. I support them one hundred percent. If I can help them, I do because it means a lot to me that they you know, they rally for me.

I can't curage, but you can curse, oh.

With it.

What does the goals change now, like now that you're like on this next phase of your career, Like I don't know, just have you changed in terms of like what you're chasing, what you're trying to get to?

Like of course I don't.

I honestly want to say, like this go around, I want to make sure I do it right and make my you know, everything count and you know, in the beginning of my career, I feel like I didn't really know too much better nobody does, I don't think so when they first start their career, they don't know they just going with the flow. They're just excited to be there.

I feel like you're hard on yourself because because even times where you're like people be like, oh my god, she's had a great career so far, And I've heard you say things like I don't feel like I've done what I was supposed to do yet, or I don't feel like I mean.

I really really feel like I definitely did have a great career. I had some great moments in my career, but I have not done everything I was supposed to do or I'm about to do. So that's just the difference. I don't think I'm hard on myself. I think I'm realistic with myself. Like some people just get big head and be like, oh, okay, I did everything, but I didn't do anything.

I had some great moments, yeah, but come on that before.

But you got big goals, right, yeah, give me one, Like what is the what do you see if you was painting the picture, like, well, three to five years from now.

Three or five years I want to see myself like with being able to perform in the arena, being very internationally known, owning some really successful businesses and like having a family and shit like that. But yeah, you want like the America dreams on the good side of America dream.

Yeah, let's see it, like by the twenty twenty four election, what happens with America after that?

Y'all get out there and vote? Please?

Do do you watch the news? Do you follow all that stuff? Because or is it too traumatizing?

You will do? Now?

I haven't watched it was probably since forever.

The news is now my phone, Like I mean, everything comes on the phone now, Like we find our current events on our phones. So everything I'm seeing is on my phone, and I'm just trying to read through it and stay and stay on top of it and try not to believe everything I see. Try not to believe everything I see because you know, they're gonna they're gonna put stuff in our face that's not true, especially right now. Right now, it's like the battle wolf who can do whatever?

But you know, yeah, what what your feet is like? Like what is the JT algorithm? Like? Like what.

My algorithm is? Get deep on the side of stand Twitter. I feel like, oh my god, I've never been so deep on the side of stands Twitter in my career. Eight That's why I get off that ship, like it was one point that I can be able to navigate between like normal general public and like stand Twitter. Like no, I have officially into my stand Twitter. Just a bunch of pages with celerities pitches on it and just cussing each other out. And then if I go to my for you page, it'll be some drama. But x has

It's it's just not genuine.

That sounds terrible.

Yes, it's how do we get like puppies on your feet?

Because I get a lot of.

Puppies on my feet on Instagram because I always like the puppies puppies.

Like my Instagram feed is chef kiss.

Like Twitter, not Twitter.

Do you get like girls, like like city girls all over your No, you.

Just get trolls shows on Twitter, but like on Instagram, you got more control of your algorithm.

It's what you like?

How are you managing that as of these days? Like you know, I know, sometimes stuff gets to you. Sometimes it doesn't.

It gets to me bad, but I try not to let it get to me. But you know, we're human.

I just this this week, I have to be on that because I have a project to promote, So I have to fight through it because I honestly don't want to be on there at all. I can live it out. I could do without, really, yes, I can. I can do it out Twitter. I don't want to hear a billion people opinion a day. It's not healthy to wake up and see what thousands of people think of you.

So I can live without that.

But I have supporters on that who go hard for me and who actually them may love Twitter pages because of me, So I'm like, okay, let me get on because they don't know nothing about Twitter like that they.

You know GP.

Yeah, so I try to be on that so I can no show up for them. But I don't like it.

I don't. I don't. I am grown, and I'm kind.

Of over to Twitter because it's like it's so easy to like attack on them, yeah, so easy.

It's really abusive.

It's mentally abusive. And I don't think they understand, but you know they're there. They kids, they don't know, they don't know.

What are you doing for yourself these days to take care of yourself? Like, I know you're in work mode right now. I know you're in project mode.

Is there any like?

I think these days just so so much of just surrounding myself with people who got my best interest and just working, working make me feel good working and seeing results. So I don't I'm having a great time.

You deserve to have a good time.

I'm having a great five.

You have a little segment on the show. It's called in my Bag. Yes, and you in your bag right now? So we got a bag for you. I want you to go in the bag and then see what comes up for you. Well, what's in the bag?

My bag? My bag, my bad mm hmm, get in your bag?

JT.

Come on, baby, I want to I want to take everything out of the bag.

Okay, what a time? Tell me what comes up?

Hold on, we got a burger king crown?

I did work at Vigan King. Get just now, grass have been a long way. I'm a long way burg King. Now, I don't play.

I did wreck at Burger King, a bunch of.

Stuff in there. So tell me about the girl that worked in Burger King. Who how old was she? What was what was happening?

Remember how old I was when I Burger King was my very first job. I remember showing up to work in some Jordan's because I always wanted to dress up and they was like, nah, baby, you gotta wear black shoes slip resistant.

My cousin worked there with me, and we just.

What you was trying to show up in like an outfa.

Yeah, I wanted to be cute.

I showed up my first dand Jordan's and they was like slip resistant shoes. Only my cousin worked there with me. And I remember my manager, your name was chaw Chai and she was so mean. And the reason I got fired is because I had a fight.

At the Burger King. Yeah what was you fighting about?

This girl came to my job who didn't like me and order and I was like, oh no, baby, I'm clocking out and I'm going to meet you outside because I don't come to my job trying to play games.

And we fought and they.

Fired me and they were like, yeah, you're done here.

Yeah.

Did you ever get your check? Did you get paid? Yeah?

My checks used to be very low at Burger King cause I was like part time. They used to do like weekly.

But I just wanted someth to the dudes to look like I was doing something at the time, because.

I remember you telling me at your young age, you it was also kind of hustling.

Right, I didn't need the job. I just wanted to. I kind of just wanted it to look good for me, like.

You had a job.

Uh got it like I had.

You never wore this crown though, right, No, I don't see it for you. I don't see you.

In this me neither. But it's cute.

It's not giving JT vibes? All right? What else is in the bag?

But it is nice.

Okay, let's see what is this? What does this bring up for you?

Pretty bitch? Is bang pink? My high school? In high school, I was in a gang.

And we wore pink flags in our back pocket and around our head. It was like CHACKI yo, you know, I love Jackie yo. She had used to be seeing pretty bitches bang pink and she used to wrap it. And we went to high school repident, me and my friends. We had a strong click of girl.

How many girls?

It was a lot of us. It was more than you can imagine.

But it was probably like teting in the picture the picture that I could show. But I remember my cousin was most of the people that was in because I went to school with my cousin's in and I had some friend.

Or was it a gang or was it like a crew?

It was a gang. We was gang banging.

This is gang. I'm not in the gang no more. But we really used to take a serious because it has to be different gangs. It's like PBBP, b P s P, brown Soup, pocker beans, click and like it.

Was really gang. I'm not guessing it's it's just the pick makes.

Me feel like, right, really take a series where we used to be banging. It's very hard to take a gang of hey, right exactly. But but you're not from l A right now, No from here what you mean? Because we usually la people take it like the color is really serious. Me, we don't know nothing about the pig. This is my era right now.

Yeah, this is right now, this is what you're this is where you're at. That's a pretty one too.

From this to that the emotion they start here in the end of here.

It's actually pretty life. What is the Cinderella attach? What is the Cinderella thing? Where did that come from?

What is the One.

Of my favorite movies is Cinderella, the one that Brandy played in, And I feel like I'm a Cinderella. I feel like it's so many of us as Cinderella's. If you watch the movie, the story is like you start off, bro, if you start up being a grad, they closing the floor, get overlooked, people try to hide stuff from you, don't want to see you win, and stop, try to stop you from winning, and then you just still be chosen at the end, like the shoe fits you to win

Oh Lance ain't nobody when she was in her kitchen with the boy short song in defrigerator, Oh my god, like Ebone was the one she should be on a couple of here because Ebony was a bad bitch, stirring commotion in the whole movie.

She has an angelic voice like Ariana Granet has an angelic voice that just calm.

Could calm anybody to me? And I'm such a huge thing.

You listen to it loud like in the.

Yeah?

My Bagae?

Look, I was not a baby a baby?

Who is she? Who is that girl?

This girl running yard? This girl right here runs the yard. She had on her like this. This girl is a big deal. First of all, I was in full country band.

What do you mean?

Like this outfit was? And I sold on commissary. This was like a expensive gray I had on my cheese shop. I had on my like leather bands. It's like diamonds and.

How did you get away with this?

I mean I am JT.

But it's like if you have a cool officer that day, you could get past or like you buy it from the people that was like in before.

So this is what is sold on common.

It's like an archive pieces like I was in great archives. I had on my Adidas in my makeup obviously done by me, am I real.

This was my natural hair that thinking healthy no more, but.

It looks good. That's good.

I did my MS, Pat did my bob so and I did my little makeup.

And I used to be just.

Was you in there doing glam?

Yeah? You don't see a green shadow? Don't play.

It's like, oh my god, today my eyeshadow is green. Today, my eyeshadow of green in this eye shadow green?

Is she happy or is she nervous or she mad?

No? She vibing, she vibing this girl right here is vibing like I was, like.

You were confident that you was gonna get out and get it right.

I was confident in that motherfucker. I felt like that was my apartment by that time. Like I was just chilling and taking my pictures and wanted to send them out to like family, your friends and show them that I'm doing well. So I wasn't really thinking too much about Auside at this point of my presence in wh When I first got in, I was about Aside.

But right here, girl was having the ball.

So crazy.

I was having a ball by that time.

Anything else in the bag left?

Baby, Wait, what is this?

What the oh?

That's remind me the song I am a nineties baby in Miami?

My city? My home?

Does that sme like your home? I don't know. It's people just propaganda, all right, you can leave that behind.

I'm a leaders right here.

What does Miami? What? What is your favorite thing about Miami?

Now? Yeah, the beaches.

I didn't always let I didn't always have being able to go on the beach all the time. But now when I go back, I can say, at the best hotels and I'd like, damn, my city was the ship this whole time.

It ain't only like all of ra shit. We got some nice shit going on.

But I always hung on the beach when I was young, Like that was how I hangout spot. But we never was in offense hotels all the time. So now I can just go into my hotel, look at the water, relax the fool. It's the best thing I love about Miami. I don't think no city has better food than Miami. I love the culture. I love the club the it stay up and all night. Even though I'm like a little auntie at this point, I don't really want to be.

You better shut.

I don't want to be outside all night no more. But we just had everything.

What time do you start winding down?

Girl?

Probably like one o'clock. One o'clock is prebady in, like my, my, my, lemme. At this time, I'm gonna get turned. You be tired up when a class tired. I'll be tired at one o'clock because I'll be up. Look at what early I gotta get my work. My work start early in the morning. So by the time, like nine o'clock, coming time for big If I can't go to bed, but partying, that's so crazy.

People wouldn't think that.

They should understand it.

Boy, that you're like a responsible girl.

Yeah, I mean all of us need to be. When we got to get up early in the morning, we'd be just tired. Now, when I have no job and I was just like living life and I could be up all night and just be irresponsible, I can't be responsible.

I have to get up in the morning. I'll be tired by bed time.

When you're trying to you gotta look good, and you can't just be out. You gotta look good.

I gotta look good. I got a kid clam.

I miss the days when I could just it up and just go No, the camera ain't on me, attention and on me.

I could just can you do that?

Still? Though, sometimes like if you went outside with no makeup on, and like I.

Went to I went to this place called Peaches. Shout out to this place called Peaches. I forgot what side of town it is on New York. Yeah, probably you know what it is. I think it's Brooklyn, by the way, It's like, it's Brooklyn. I went to Peaches with no makeup on, and I my because I be going to see.

People less people, less people recognize you.

They recognized me, Mike Dinah. I went to Mike down and before then, my friends like, let's goa this person called Peaches. And I'm like, okay, being naive because Mike dinas is kind of like low key, like.

Not for help. But I went to Peaches and when I went in.

There, the hostess in'stly gagged and I'm like, oh you got me, like I'm thinking about to have a low key little drink a little day.

So I stayed in there with them. We had fun. They was all take pictures with me. They was like you cool ast fuck. I'm like thank you, Like we all had lunch together.

We all turned together. But they respect like if I asked him like cut no pictures. I take selfies with them, but they don't start annoying because I don't give that energy.

I give a very like homegirl when you meet me.

So it's just like let her eat or respect her because I respect people in public, so they should respect me.

It should go both ways.

You should go both ways, and I think that's how I go. And I love New York. New York got I love New York.

They manic business here, They're very like they mining business like they won't be with all that New York people like they they're gonna give you a prop so they're gonna big you up. Now, they're gonna let you know and they keep it moving like you won't even expect or No. I think the person know you. It could be of all ages, know who you are here. They're very culture. They didn't know what the fun going on and give you a credit.

So that's what I about. Could you ever live here? I live here?

Yeah?

You?

How you have been living here?

I lived here, I live I've been here almost three going on four years.

And how has that transition been for you?

I was between New York and l A when I left Atlanta after present, but now I'm mostly here.

I would want to say this is full time. I go to LA from time to time, but New York I donet got the hang of it. And it's too quick.

So you can't go from New York to LA because then it's like Las moving so slow compared to New York. It's two different vibes. But I love New York now I love I used to hate it. I used to have the worst anxiety with the traffic. I could not deal with the noise the horns than nothing. But I can't learn how to maneuver a little bit more with the time and what to do and whatnot.

We love having you here. I love that you're here.

Yes, I'm here.

I don't know how I didn't know you've been here for three years around.

Yes, because I would not come outside.

We gotta hit you outside.

I would know, y'all. Traffic is traumatize it. Y'all got three cars here, but I don't drive them. They put a pole on my I mean I got I put in my bust my tires on the way to lootion. I put that bitch in the garage and I ain't pull it out since New York is hard on the cars. They scratched. Somebody scratched up the side of my car. I don't even know who did it. I left it in the front of my building. Did my boyfriend come

It's not me.

I don't know who did it. So I parked that too. I just use a black truck now I use a driver.

It's more.

I don't know why I can't picture you actually drive I.

Used to be driving, parking in the parking, in the parking parking lots, in the gym I go to. I'm not telling y'all my gym, but I go to the gym in Brooklyn. I go to a nice him in Brooklyn, and I'd be parking in the parking. People they knew me about hard. They would say, you be driving this ship, your little self. And I was parking. I was having my way until I driver. I'm a good enough driver. I'm from Miami.

Good enough Miami driver is a terrible same.

Don't kill right terrible drivers, and y'all a terrible drivers.

My life, girl, Please don't play with these New York drivers driving like they would travel their eyes closed.

I don't know why I feel.

And I was driving in my car and it was snowing and my car drifted.

No, that's scary. Oh what did you do?

You don't supposed to go into the drift. You're not supposed to fight it, just spraying, like, just keep a driver.

Yeah, me and New York were cool. I want to stunt sometime and let people know. But this ain't a place for that because between the traffic, the pot holes, the tickets.

Oh my god. Yeah, I don't know why.

I see a show or some type of thing where it's like JT.

In New York that would be hilarious, like.

Takes New York type of thing.

New York takes JT down everybody what they do.

I don't think that everybody knows you're here like that.

They my my supporters know, like the Juvis know, they know, but people know, but I don't.

I can't.

New York takes me. I don't take New York. New York takes me to fuck down. And I have to respect the time in here.

I went.

I went to a class the other day and me and my teacher we was just going make and for it. And I'm like, you keeping me too long. I'm trying to go tomorrow. And she's like, she released me at five o'clock class, like for training for this.

Training, media training, media training.

Yes, I do.

This is new you never did that before. No. I like that.

Yeah, I love it.

You know why I hate it because on my side, sometimes it makes people lose.

The naturalness.

No, I still got it.

I just I think that the thing is I think it prepare us more for y'all than y'all are prepared for us. So y'all used to being like more in control, and I think it puts us more in control.

So it put y'all in a hot seat more than us. So it's just like I'm more in control. I would have came in here like you know. But the day I'm just like.

Yeah, I don't love that. Yeah, but I do understand why you have to be in that.

One thing about.

Let me give let me give Tracy her flyers. Tracy don't make me done no smoke. Now, Tracy doesn'et taught me everything like she she with all the bushes. She ain't teaching me not to be my natural self. She just teaching me how to sound well, how to be more pois. Yeah, because i'd be I would have been here, slapcha. Probably wouldn't have even wren.

This what.

I feel like I am. You see, I love business and.

I feel like you can teach your media class right now.

I can teach your media cats. But she left, she let she let me out at five o'clock, and that was pisceell mad.

This is good information for new upcoming artists. What is the number one thing the best thing you have learned in media training? In this world that we're in for new artists, I understand why they need media training. What free advice could you give to a new artist on the come up of media training that you've learned.

You gotta get a good teacher for media training. I don't think.

I don't think mindset is corny. She she's she's a black lady, very New York with the ships.

But what did you But what do you learn? Like what is the one thing you need?

Just how to be more confident in my interviews, like be more up for my interviews because I used to really be up for interviews, like because I'm always thinking at your flex and some crazy shit. But now I'm just ready And then it's just like not saying the stupidest shit. You don't want to be looking at yourself saying the stupidest ship. Yeah, in five years when you're adulg like.

Come on, that be for real. YEA.

I should be a media trainer because I because I do have friends who are artists, or I have I meet a lot of young artists and sometimes I I'll you know, it takes a lot.

I'm not gonna lie.

I can't be a media trainer because it takes a lot of note, taking a lot of question acts ten times in a row, and you'll be like, girl, I'm just gonna tell her how it is, like leave me alone.

But it's so funny to me. That's so interesting you.

If you're willing to sit there with that pin in that paper and keep writing now ship over and over and over, then you could be You could be.

Whatever you want to be.

That's true.

One one I would tell them one one thing I think is a good thing for like a new artist who's who was afraid. Maybe they got a lot of baggage, maybe they got a public relationship, maybe they got something they're afraid to be asked by the other person. I always tell people, if you the easiest way to get out of a question is to ask it back to the person who's asking it asking it to you.

Yeah, you could be a media trainer.

So if I'm like JT, tell me about your you said your boyfriend said you cracked it.

Tell me about your boyfriend, and you could be.

Like, tell me about your.

Like that. So that's okay. You you taught me. I'm gonna use that use.

Free games.

That's right.

I'll regret sharing that information but that is an easy way to get out of something that you don't want to know.

But I'm so comfortable and confident these days, like I don't mind, Like, yeah, I ain't, I'm not scared of that. But it's like it's just like I'm just more excited for the interviews if you're like yeah, But.

I feel like me and you have good chemistry period for sure. And I don't want to I think that me and.

You have good chemistry because my my best interview is you like the pot. The pot was the best thing that I did. It showed me in a beautiful light. So I feel like I just have respect for you to come in here, sit up straight and tall.

Thank you. I want to say straight tall too.

Like I got respect for you to sit up straight and tall. But maybe somebody else I probably would like this.

No not now you're media trained. No no, no no. But I love this evolved JT. I love this new evolved JT.

I'm almost fifty years old.

Shut the hell up, all right, So what do people need to know?

Just that this is only the beginning. That's it.

That this is just only the beginning, and it's going to be visiting this and when you think I'm hard on myself, It's not that I'm hard on myself.

I'm just humble and focus.

Yeah, and you got big plans.

Big plans, big, huge plans, huge plans. This is just day one of the huge plans that I have.
