Moms I want know I want to know every. right into it she wants to know all the. drama I mean ask specifics like what do. you want to know was Abby actually like.
rude like that in real life that's. literally like the first question that I. always get um I would. say it really just depends on the day. and like when you catch her and like if. somebody really got her mad and it's. like that's like that's like. her and ABY Lee are so we're like this. pretty much yeah you're so similar yeah. we could be twins I feel like it's just. when you catch her like sometimes she. was nice and sometimes she was mean but. obviously on the show too they're going.
to air the more mean stuff better TV you. know when you think about it we. literally probably filmed maybe 60 to 70. hours a week and you only see 45 minutes. so there's so much like footage That You. Don't See of like what we're doing kind. of in our day-to-day you just see the. the interesting bits of yeah for sure. each hour crazy that's crazy like okay. so like who was like your best friend on. the team I feel. like every I feel like every couple.
months it was different you know like. it's just like when you're like growing. up you know you always have like we were. all like sisters and best friends but I. feel like like we all kind of like yeah. we're all close obviously we spent. basically just every living second. together and it was literally only us. like we didn't really have any other. friends besides just like us you know so. I feel like we were all pretty close and. it just kind of. depends that's cool we all actually. filmed like that much like it wasn't. just like one day a week no we filmed. probably like um six days a week a full.
that's a fulltime job we only didn't. film on Sundays Mondays were interview. days so I guess it wasn't really like. filming but it was like the interview so. like you know whenever we all sit down. and have our interviews that was that. day so we filmed every other day besides. that so Sunday was our only day off W. and you were in school too I yeah we did. school in the morning and then we went. straight to film and then dance after. filming so wait when you started the. show how old were you m I think I. started cuz I came in in season I think.
four yeah so I think I was I was 11 or. 12 oh wow that's crazy so you were like. that's crazy you were like actually a. kid working fulltime yeah for sure we. were definitely like children and I mean. most of them started like before me too. when they were like seven eight n Wild. that's crazy yeah she was too yeah know. a random one to pick like like seriously. and like uh Eliana and ly.
yeah they were on only one. season cuz they showed up later but they. were like significantly younger than the. others yeah they were they were much. like younger they were only on I think. one season with us yeah and then I think. they had one season where it was like. that team and we weren't there anymore I. think that was eight yes yeah and like I. don't know much from when like after I. was on it yeah cuz I never really. watched the show like even when I was on. it or before you never watched it when. you were on it no yeah I don't watch.
this podcast I hate watching I mean I. don't really watch a podcast so I mean. oh Harper gets. it I like now will watch dances but I. will never watch like a full episode. like I'll watch like clips and stuff. just cuz I'm like interested in things. and honestly I forget half the things. that even happened and of course like. it's all over my for you page so I'm. like I see it like all over Tik Tok and. stuff but I feel like mostly I just. watch like dances I don't watch like the.
drama parts of it as much yeah I get. like more intrigued to the drama than. the dances but like like like literally. I love the drama on it but yeah well. that's like what the point of the show. is it's called Dance Moms it's supposed. to be about moms but then I think people. just enjoyed watching us you know dance. and stuff so I feel like that's kind of. what it then kind of turned into too so. both Co yeah that's definitely like the. happy ending of the the shows the dances. and stuff yeah it's definitely fun it.
was it was fun is is the drama like real. I feel like it depends you know it's. it's a show so you have to remember. everything's going to obviously be. produced right like we can't just go. into it with like a blind eye it's like. you know when you go into this podcast. you kind of have an idea of what you're. going to talk about you know it's like. same sort of thing when we go into the. week for the show we have an idea of. like what what the fight is going to be. or like what like so and so gets the. solo and then these people are going to. get mad cuz she got it you know what I'm.
saying but it's not like scripted as in. like say this right now and say this. right now it's just like there obviously. has to be drama so it's going to be. produced in a sense but some some were. like actually real like sometimes you. were like oh that was like people. actually did it get intense when it was. real and everybody was like oh no yeah. because I think everybody kind of looked. at each other like oh. oh yeah that wasn't you know I always. say like we fought like family too at. the end of it because we spent even our.
mom spent so much time just we. constantly together that's hard so even. like whenever we weren't filming we were. together so it was like you're spending. so much time together you're bound to. like getting little tis and stuff did y. all do school together yeah but we were. all at different you know like um grades. so um we had like one tutor and then. everybody did like their own online. school or whatever they did. you kind of do your own thing and the.
tutor would go around and just help you. with whatever you need I feel like it'd. be really easy if you were on that show. to like just get misunderstood and like. people think you're like someone you're. not was there anyone that was like oh. they got that that's not who they are. yeah I think that's what like the beauty. of being in this kind of day and age is. is like you can put out your own content. and be who you want yourself to be or. like on the show it's not really about. you know it's not it's not.
we we don't get go back and edit Ando. what it is and you know there was times. that like they would edit things that. like didn't even happen that way and. that's like a common thing that happens. in reality TV that's like a known thing. so it's kind of cool that now all of us. kind of get to just be ourselves and do. our own things and I feel like that's. what's really cool about the internet is. that you get to and like all these. social media apps and stuff you get to. really be yourself and like put out what. you want to be put out but obviously.
there's too yeah so um are is there. anything like you're working on right. now that you're just like it's like. yours and you're excited about or yeah. so I actually just recently I think in. May it was yeah um I launched my brand. Care by. colani that yeah yeah um so with the. show I was always you know in a very. like high stress High Strung position. and I was constantly you know know like.
anxious and doing so many like big. things and I feel like I didn't feel a. lot of it when I was on the show cuz I. was really going through the motions but. kind of after the show and I was getting. into more of like my young adulthood I. realized like how big mental health is. and how it's such like a big part of all. of our lives and I realized that I never. really took a lot of time to just like. sit down and settle down and like give. myself a break well you couldn't well. yeah couldn't it wasn't any time no yeah. I just feel like I learned that that was.
just as important as all the hustle that. I was doing too so that's kind of why I. created care it's a self self-care brand. so so many different things that can. help you like relax and kind of part of. your morning routine night routine your. self-care day yeah I just really created. it because I struggle with anxiety and I. just think that mental health is. something that we're lucky that we're. talking about now but definitely wasn't. a big conversation when I was younger or. even on the so I like to just be an.
advocate for that and kind my brand what. typ like products is it like. masks like rocks you know no you're. saying like those little crystal rocks I. don't really like believe in those but. like you. know I do have like um a crystal mask. that's really cool so I love to like. meditate and all those sort of things. just cuz I think and like breathing. exercises I believe that it really helps. me with my anxiety and I don't know if. any of you guys like. yeah get or you know we all kind of are.
in a similar you know Aroma I what am I. trying to say. lifestyle where it's like we're busy and. going like I just saw you in New York I. was in New York too a couple days ago. yeah like a couple days ago literally. and what are the odds yall just run into. each other a week before we filmed an. episode I no it was weird because before. I had run into you I had run into. another girl in the El on the way up to. that Flor floor I'd run into another.
girl that we were talking about coming. on the podcast she coming on yeah but. we're not talking about that now. but know but I just got on the elevator. and I was like oh my gosh you're coming. on my podcast and then I opened the door. in there and I was like you're coming on. my podcast too it's like literally crazy. how that happened I know it was so weird. we just happened to be at the same. fitting at the same time yeah I know and. there was like so many other times and. days too that we could have done it yeah. for sure it was weird yeah wait what. were we just talking about I don't know. oh your your face masks oh yeah I'm like.
I lose my train of thought ADHD like. gosh it's bad yeah bir changes the. subject on you at a random point no. you'll. be yeah I'm like a dog on here no no no. so yeah no that's kind of how I am I. just did another podcast when I was in. New York and we were like did we stay on. one topic all this entire time like I. never do but um some of my other. products I have like a massage gun which. is one of my favorites because as a danc. and now a dance teacher I know that I.
don't know if did you guys play sports. or do you do anything I cheer. cheer play in the nfo oh no you did not. all right no we were homeschooled so we. didn't play sports or anything okay I. played math oh okay that's he was. very I've played softball my whole life. so one of I always wished I could do a. cute sport like cheer or dance soft is. one of those massage ones that are like. [Music].
those ones I brought one so we could try. it I didn't I didn't bring anything. because I literally have been gone I. haven't been home in ages but I'll send. everything to you you guys deserve. packages I should have sent before I'm. sorry that's my fault but it's okay I. love that one because for my dancers and. stuff I felt like growing up there. wasn't a ton of recovery like do you. have anything in recovery for cheer oh. noit but athletes like male athletes oh. for sure all have so many you know like.
recovery rooms like training they're. taking ice baths and they literally like. feed them the water on the sidelines. like. yeah you want a water yeah I want to be. like. we yeah we got to give ourselves water. yeah we had to walk over get our own. water bottles like what come on no but. like just like we never kind of got that. so I try to really tell like my students. and stuff that that's something that's. super important because I can tell you. that my body's messed up and I'm only to. I don't even know what I'm going to feel.
like at 50 I'm going to be wait you. teach classes said yeah I teach yeah. like dance oh yeah yeah I thought you me. like teachers like Dan like she went to. school and got a degree no definitely. didn't get a degree in dancing did you. go to college I did not go to college no. yes uh just you know like the life I was. in I wanted to I I actually moved to LA. that's what I did LA did that for a. little bit how was that transition going. from like filming 60 hours a week in. school so then you I assume you kind of.
stepped off the show as you kind of. graduated about the same time yeah so. then how did that go to just like I what. do I do yeah that's well that's like. actually a big part of why I started. this brand too it's like right after I. went from being so busy like I said I. was kind of like numb to my life like I. was stressed but like the stress just. kind of got put into dance into. performing into making sure I knew my. dances I learned a dance or two new. every week at 3 to learn it competed it.
then had to do it all over again and. then whenever we weren't filming the. show we were on tour going to different. countries different cities doing you. know like meet and greets and stuff so I. was like constantly busy and never. really gave myself to like time to relax. so after the show when I was done and I. graduated high school I was like I want. to move to LA and I want to you know be. in this world you didn't already live in. LA um I mean kind of I lived in Arizona. that's where I live now too but um. that's where I would say like my home.
was yeah but LA to film was just for. filming and stuff but so basically I. wasn't really I was never really in. arizota but I call that home got um but. moving was really crazy like moving and. being by myself I lived alone and kind. of not having a set schedule of this is. what I'm doing every millisecond of my. life that's when I started to get. anxious and I started to kind of feel. like I had no purpose and started to be. so confused with like who I was as a. young adult like what am I doing I just.
went from like having the biggest. purpose of my life to now like what am I. going to do and so I feel like that's. kind of where like my anxiety came from. and just kind of like learning I would. say I just recently sort of like 2122. I'm almost 23 next week I'm 23 oh almost. my birthday golden birthday wait wait. wait wait when's your birthday the 23. 23rd wow wow wait how did you know that. well cuz that's golden birthday. so it can show that you Dro out of.

I think my mom and Christy talk a lot. too so funny I feel like the seing. arrangement is a little weird I feel. like maybe we should put Kanani in her. place but in her. place good. funny joke I told him you didn't even.
get the reference of that I did cuz I. thought it was like you were getting in. trouble and they were like somebody. needs to put Kanani in her place and I. was like no someone else was getting in. trouble I don't know what yeah wait I. remember that episode because literally. that was my favorite episode ever I'm. trying my first episode that was my. first episode really yeah very very. traumatic episode oh that line no yeah. that was literally I don't think I even. spoke yet I don't even think I spoke the. show that was like my first it was. because they were I remember because I.
literally you want the backstory tea on. that episode yes it's actually so funny. I was never supposed to be on Dance. bombs like ever really yeah you like. audition for it no nothing I was on. Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition which. was before and so Abby just really loved. me from that show lucky so she wanted me. to be on Dance Moms but the producers. didn't like my mom cuz she wasn't very. like crazy yeah she was like she was. like on the show she was crazy when she.
needed to be but she wasn't like. constantly causing drama yeah and that's. like a good thing I think she was like. quality to she she is pretty good I. don't know I mean you know yeah she's my. mom obviously I love her but um so I. actually was competing that duo two. sapphires with Maddie at a different. dance competition and then Abby was like. you're going to do it at the dance the. dance mom's Dance Competition yeah and. it was like a secret I feel like because. I wasn't supposed to. like like I said at the beginning of an.
episode or the beginning of the week. that we're filming an episode you know. what dances are going on stage and like. there's a set You Know Drama that's. going to happen whatever right so we. were obviously coming in and going to. switch up the whole storyline so we. weren't supposed obviously you're not. supposed to do that producers know. everything so Abby literally didn't tell. the producers nothing and we just came. in and like caused all this. drama but I bet the producers ate that. up though no they literally came up to. me when I was like what 12 and we're. like you will never be on Dance Moms I.
don't think you'll ever be here and I. was just like okay like honestly I. wasn't expecting to even be on the show. I was just told that I was I'm clueless. I'm 12 or 11 however old I was I was. just like going I was like oh I can't. wait to do my dance like that's all I. was really thinking not really knowing. what was going to happen like but we. weren't supposed to be there and that. was never supposed to happen and then. obviously Brooke and Paige left which. I'm actually pretty close with Brooke. now and talk you know like we're we're. all pretty we're all pretty cool which. we even on the show together but we kind.
of hung out like after the show yeah um. so they left so then they The Producers. were like which I'm actually really. close with the producer now that said. all this to me but oh my gosh um he was. like you'll only be on the show for the. two weeks until we find their. replacement like you're not going to be. on the show oh really and then I ended. up being on it for the rest of the time. so how long were you on it I don't even. know I think I skipped half a season so. I was on a half seon then we skipped. half a season because they wanted us to.
sign this crazy contract and my mom was. like we're not signing this like you're. not going to own my daughter for so were. you able to leave the show whenever you. wanted or did you um I'm sure I could I. don't really know it would cause a scene. though like yeah I mean I don't we all. did I I we left a couple times I feel. like everyone left a couple times. everyone was like we're leaving and then. we always came back. yeah I know that I was on it for. maybe three seasons three and a half SE.
I don't know I actually like I truly. don't know cuz they were in half so it. was like 5 a 5B oh 7 a 7B so yeah and. then each I think each season had 22. Episodes yeah oh yeah uhuh I think so. that's so much a lot of episodes I know. I was over I was in over a 100 episodes. oh my gosh that's insane I just can't. get over the fact of how young yellow. were I know it is kind of crazy like we. look back at it and then now we're like. all adults it's so cool to see like. everybody doing their own thing and like.
being themselves you know like I like. heard McKenzie song and it's like so. good oh my gosh it's so good I love that. song it's I sing it as if I relate to it. I know uhuh I don't really relate either. but good it's a really good song. M daddy issues yeah dad issues oh nice. yeah yeah but it's a really pretty song. she has a beautiful voice so cool to see. that and the video was so good when like. she had like the version of herself it. was so good and the dancing was it was.
it's nice to see everybody still is like. involved in dance too cuz I think we all. had such a um kind of negative yeah look. at dance for a long time I know that. after the show I really was like not. into dance for a while just cuz it was. like bringing back so many you know kind. of bad memories there was also good. memories too but you know sometimes the. bad kind of overweighs the good and I. was like a little burnt out I think that. most of us were we you know we did we. were dancing so much but it's cool to.
see that like everybody's bringing it. back and like I don't really know too. many from the show but I thought like. three or four of y'all and y'all all. still dance which is actually kind of. crazy or something to do with dance. along the lines or singing or something. for entertainment yeah do you sing no. you do not want to hear me sing oh I. think I do yeah no we were just talking. I was just talking about this with. someone we were like somebody was like. oh my gosh do you remember that epis of. dance bombs were like they made you sing. I was like they like they made you sing.
Oh yeah the the like what's it called. like and JoJo was like like like she. kept Ming we like a wizard of Ozz song. oh yeah yeah and I think like Maddie B. came on. one I. saw made us like literally made us like. audition sing I'm like I would never do. this cuz I don't sing and I don't want. to sing that's not what I'm good at like. some of the other ones like can sing. obviously but it's just not me I don't. know I can dance but that's and that's. why I'm here to dance here to sing No I.
feel like Abby just tried to make. everybody a pop star that was like the. con know everyone needs a single and I. was like oh I don't I don't want one I. just want to be a dancer that's why I'm. here that's what I like to do and oh. yeah I do acting but do um who like made. the Matty B song or not not who made it. but like who like got like the cut I. think JoJo did right I have no clue I. don't even I who like was like the star. of it yeah I either I don't remember I.
know it wasn't. me no yeah it's okay like I know I. didn't get it but I don't remember who. got it with all of that dancing and then. teaching do you ever feel like you're. just getting like burnt out on. dancing no I feel like I did get burnt. out but I've like refound my love for it. now yeah and like I do so many other. things like you know like I have my. brand Care by colani which is like. something that I love to do then I have. like dance that I love to do and like. creating like a good.
happy like Middle Ground of all the. things that I like love and care about. is like nice I also just like love kids. so teaching is really fun for me cuz I. love to teach kids and hopefully I can. you know maybe have my own Studio or. Dance convention or something I would. love to like travel more and like teach. in like other places and other cities. countries I feel like I'm sure you could. I feel like you could I know I feel like. I'm I'm going to try and start doing it. more I feel like I just recently kind of. started to find my love for it I love.
choreographing too so I've been doing. more like solos and things like that so. we'll just see how it kind of goes and. grows and what happens with it yeah I'm. just kind of making it more like organic. and then just see kind of where it takes. me but it started to build up a lot more. which like makes me want to do it more. but I was burnt out for a while do you. like couples dancing like swing and. stuff I don't but I would I wish I like. learned ballom more I was just saying. this cuz like I love dancing with stars. and I feel like that would be so fun to. be on like I would love to do that what.
nothing I've been trying to get on. Dancing With the Stars for so long I'm. obsessed with it I comment on like all. their Instagram photos like please. actually if you guys are watching this. don't comment on Dancing With the Stars. Instagram to put me on I love dancing. with stars but I feel like I want to be. want to be a pro yes that's what I would. want to be I would love like. cograph yeah and like teach you don't. understand how much this man dances. swing he does he does like the country. dancing Texas I do West Coast Swing.
that's so fun I've been a couple times. like a few country bars there's so many. around here and like yeah I he goes all. the time he goes every single night I'm. like five nights a week right now what. going that's crazy you had a competition. yesterday are you going tonight uh no I. wasn't going to but if we're done with. everything like packed up like. everything's on the problem with country. dancing is like you said it's at bars.
and so like I don't drink but I still go. and I have fun with my friends but. there's a lot of drunk people to get in. that and that don't know how to dance it. doesn't open till like 8 or 9:00 oh yeah. it's late cuz it's a bar yeah so then it. messes up then I'm like tired in the. morning I stayed out so it's like versus. like West Coast Swing I can go and do. that and be home by like 10 o' okay. that's nice yeah I've only been I went. just recently for my friend's birthday. so fun. yeah and like I could catch on to the. dances quick cuz I'm a dancer I'm like.
do you guys two Tik Tok daners should we. go tonight yes when is it it's every. night every night where it's every night. Dallas has the best Dallas is like the. biggest place guys I'm moving to Dallas. I literally love it here oh my gosh wait. actually no but I I would love to I say. that every time impul that just came. into her head my dad my whole life lived. in Houston so I go to Houston a lot but. I went to Dallas occasionally for dance. stuff yeah but I was so young that I. never really you know it's like. different when you're younger versus.
like being an adult and I like just went. and St I'm staying with my friend and I. was like I like love it here The Vibes. are good and it's raining it's nice okay. first of all no this is the first week. we've seen rain since like April that's. literally what she was telling me she. like it hasn't rain it doesn't rain ever. are those permanent bracelets yes I want. them mom please give me them like. they're aren't they like a little. expensive but like because they're. permanent and they don't like. rust they don't come off I literally. keep them obviously keep them on all the.
time okay so we do have some questions. we're doing. questions okay so I think how I'm. supposed to do it is ask each of you. individually and then see if you get it. right okay so colani this one's for you. how many seasons was Kanani on Dance. Moms oh we we don't. know I know let's go four four four uh I. don't know but I'm going to say it's. correct cuz you were the one on the show. yeah I was on four. okay if I counted correctly yeah okay do.
me versus her okay oh oh we're doing. questions about myself yeah against okay. so everybody should answer no they. should guess and then I should be like. yes that's right or wrong oh good idea. what you're not that right or wrong. right what if you're the wrong I might. I'll let you guys know if I don't. know okay did Kanani get ever get to the. top of the pyramid yes uh yes. yes four times uh no no definitely more. than four.
times four times in myund episodes I no. no no like like so I know Maddie got 52. cuz I saw this Tik Tok I saw this Tik. Tok I think I was like 40 something I 40. something yeah and Paige got one I felt. so bad for her I know I know wait wait. hold on y'all got 40 and 50 and Paige. got one yeah Abby hated her and then she. sued uh Paige for $5 million well I. didn't even Abby sued Paige mm and then. Paige sued Abby no no no Paige sued I. was like I don't think Abby could sue. Paige for anything yeah is Paige the one.
that got the chair thrown at her yes yes. that's how it happen. probably I think so I think so maybe. that was maybe that was have something. to do with. it all right what else I want to get. that chair for the podt okay Harper this. one's for cash oh oh so I'm ready no. you're not ready oh wait what wait I'm. so confused I said this for it's for cat. so you don't answer okay all right we. mute did Kanani ever get a.
solo no correct oh you never got a solo. what do you. mean I have so many I'm kidding I'm. kidding I'm kidding I was like I was is. it like a on liner or something that I. remember I was like I know I got a bunch. of solos now just questioning everything. I'm questioning everything nowhere I'm. like I don't even know we gas you like. you never had. a I'm like honestly I would probably be. like oh I maybe I didn't they C they. actually cut a bunch of my solos from.
episodes yeah you have to like go on. YouTube and like find them and they. always cut like my favorite ones I got a. perfect score on one and they cut it a I. was like that sucks I was like what the. heck guys yeah that's that's so annoying. that's really unfair a gaster she's like. I was never on the pyramid wow I was. like oh my gosh on the show I saw no our. friend was wearing a shirt the other day. that was like gaslighting isn't real. you're just crazy and it was so funny. and it made me think of that so oh wow.
reallyit I'm like trying to think of. that again gaslighting gaslighting isn't. real you just crazy oh okay do you know. what gaslighting is yeah but you guys. are gaslighting me right now yeah yeah I. don't think you know what gas lighting. you don't know what gaslighting is oh. okay so I'm trying to think like um um I. don't know see like mid. conversation have to switch it up yeah I. have to switch it up fast um it's like. her brain never stops to be honest yeah. I it goes like a 100 miles per hour I I. don't know yeah we can tell by the way.
like you talk but it's fine I like it. about you it's fine oh thanks thanks. okay so what did you want to say yeah. what were you going say where were we. where were we getting at yeah. um uh oh I you don't know do you no I. don't I really I really don't I I um do. you feel like you have to be talking yep. yes she's just mad if anyone else is. talking to she's like actually wait wait. wait I got to say something has nothing. to say wait wait I'm. sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry wait.
what just happened like you know like. how how like she she didn't want you to. talk she didn't want you to talk so she. just cut go go yeah she didn't want me. to talk last episode either oh she like. cut me off and told me no was your last. episode well last time I was telling a. story and everyone told me to stop. talking we were all falling. asleep we were actually thinking about. putting colani in her place the story. was too long apparently she almost got. fired I know I've almost got fired. multiple times from my own podcast no I. don't want you to go off like I I just.
Harper you say that you were the first. one to like she everyone leave I can. talk by myself she doesn't want you to. go off but she wants you to stay there. like stay here but like don't talk. yeah I lowkey feel like I could talk to. myself for an hour I do every night I. every night when I'm doubting myself I'm. over here like har her please no but. yeah oh W you'll ever like catch. yourself being like like by yourself. you're like a little too weird and. you're like oh you're like that nobody. yeah like like literally I did something.
earlier I was like why did I do that. like it was so icky and I'm like I think. he was sitting on the couch and he. didn't see it and I was like thank the. Lord he didn't see that one cuz that was. an ick did you guys ever do like stuff. like in real life like meet and greets. or like live shows they went on tour you. did yeah we went on tour a couple times. we would do we did like Australia. Ireland what did you do on tour like was. it just angry like dancing or what we. would do like our group some of our. group dances like from the show and. stuff and then Abby would usually teach. a class yeah mhm and then whenever we.
did it without Abby we would same sort. of thing do some dances and then teach a. class and then take photos and stuff. wait so yall were teaching at like 14 I. mean no I think I that when we did it. without Abby that was when I was. probably 17 oh maybe yeah so I'm. probably 16 17 is when we did it like. that and then when I was younger 13 14. whatever um Abby would teach the classes. and we would assist nice didn't she go.
to jail yes we just talk we talking. about that did you forget that we said. that wait we said on the podcast jail. yeah oh she did go to jail is that from. her being sued no she went to jail for I. think it was money. laundering like tax stuff I think oh dud. I feel that's why everyone goes to jail. I know I feel like most reality TV stars. actually go to jail for that like I feel. like all the Real Housewives and stuff. yeah it's all like they're in jail we're. not paying taxes do you still talk to.
her um she actually wants me to go on. her. podcast oh my gosh that would be such a. good I was like sure yeah why not I mean. my thing is is like do I agree with. everything she did no yeah but you know. what like she is a big part of the. reason why I'm here today and like why I. have the platform that I do so I will. always be grateful for that you know I. obviously don't agree with a lot of the. be all things she said to my friends or. to me or to our moms you know I don't.
think that that's right and I would. never like me being a dance teacher now. I would never treat my kids like that or. their moms like that you're telling me. you never threw a chair at a girl. definitely haven't done that. one oh my gosh but you know I was like. she still is a big reason why I have the. career I am so she also different off. camera though like yeah some of that's. got to be taken with a grain of salt I. don't know I really don't like oh you. only hung out with her in front of a. camera no I mean we did like without a. camera but like I don't know like I was.
a kid so like you kind of don't really. know what's real or fake the last time. you saw her oh I don't even know oh long. time maybe 3 years oh wow wow I think. like one of JoJo's birthday parties. maybe her 18th birthday maybe her 16th. birthday go that's crazy might have been. before she even went to jail I think. it's before she even went it's just. funny sounding Abby Abby looks so. different now like she's she came out of. jail yeah yes no yes like literally um.
when she came in to James Charles house. um wait what like I just like did like. bad grammar but um anyways when he when. she came into James Charles's house um. like she was like Jojo have you learned. nothing or I forgot but yeah like yeah. so many words I don't really know but. like like she just looks so different. now like I I don't remember her looking. like that but I think she also got sick. for a while she had cancer she had. cancer too she's a turn out which is. super sad yeah yeah so like can she. still walk or I don't think so I'm not.
the one really to ask because I don't. really know I haven't seen her or really. know anything yeah but I'll keep you. guys updated I'll see her I think I'm I. think this weekend we were planning on. filming it is she in La yeah I think. she's in LA but I really don't know like. I've said I really don't know anything I. haven't spoke to her in a long time so I. like you know like I said I don't agree. with everything but I think it would be. good to catch up and you know that would. be fun like we'll see I'm going be like. are you still. crazy I'm sure she is I'm sure she is.
yeah she has her own like like thing. like she yeah but I'm not her student. anymore so I can kind of be more like. her friend or just like a person you. know what I'm saying so like it'll be. fun like see how that goes we'll see. yeah wait Were You There When um like. James Charles came to the dance studio. and like collabed no he came to the. dance yeah he like did dance lessons. there as like a joke I think that was. during season 8 and we weren't on that. the older like our that our cast he came. on the show yeah he came on the show we.
need to get James on the Pod oh please. please I love James Charles but not as. much as. you I I mean like yeah I'm watch yes of. course of course no but like seriously. James Charles like like is so cool um I. need he needs to do my makeup for school. like you know every day for school like. you go do you go to real school yeah I. go to public school yeah isn't that. weird yeah like did did you come from. school today yeah uh-huh like 30 minutes. no hold on what time is it I give it a. year and a half Max before she's you.
think bro stop touching your mic she's. got to be her life's going to get so. crazy I feel there's no way you could. have done public school right absolutely. but that's it was different though yeah. she was on like that's like a. fullon production type TV show that's a. TV show like you're not on a TV show you. get to make your own schedule so you can. go to school you know and also I filmed. in Pittsburgh and in La I lived in.
Arizona so it wasn't really like a. possibility for me because I'm filming. like a full like so if you like if it. wasn't like that much like would you. want to go to public school while you. were doing it I think that everybody. should go to school I don't know what's. happening these days where like kids. think they just can't go to school yeah. mean school or like home school which. one would you really public school like. if I could have I think it's ridiculous. when kids these days aren't getting. their education cuz everybody thinks. they're going to be. famous yeah you still need educ I mean I. don't mean to be. rude I don't mean to be rude but it's.
like not everybody's going to make it. and not everybody's going to turn out. turn out to be successful it's an. oversaturated yeah it's very overated. and the only thing that you can't take. away is your education right so I think. that it's always important to as long as. you can go to school go to school and it. gets to a point where like your career. is too crazy or whatever like I make. sure you're homeschooling or whatever. but I still think it's like important I. know a lot of. dancers these days and I think it. happens in a lot of sports like they all.
just start doing homeschool at the age. of like seven and it's like oh what and. you don't think that's as good as public. nobody actually does school when they're. homeschooled I was homeschool I quit. doing school at like freshman year like. I barely I think it depends on the kid. too though cuz like I was kind of the. same way I didn't do I didn't try that. hard but like my sister she was like. trying hard Tak col classes that's good. I guess itend on your parents too like. if your parents want I don't know I. could never teach my kids though like.
school I could never sit down and teach. them something like the way somebody is. getting paid to and then like teachers. need to get paid more too for like. what's going on in the world I think a. good middle ground because I was in. public school my whole life and then my. senior year I like did online I think. online senior year is like that's. different yeah that's way different yeah. I guess so but like no one does anything. senior year yeah and just in general uh. I freaking got so much work senior year. it was such a joke really most people. like do like half a day in senior year. even oh in school yeah but like I felt. like for my classes I was still getting.
a lot cuz I just only did online so I. still got a lot of work given to me but. it was easier and I could do it from. wherever I was and it was just more like. flexible but not everybody's disciplin. is what I'm saying yeah no that's true. you defin I know a lot of like some of. the kids that I teach like they're like. we don't want to do school I'm hom. school cuz I don't want to do school I'm. like well that's not good that's not a. good no one wants to do school yeah no. one wants do it but it's just you got to. have an education you got to have. something to fall back on like I low key.
love school like not the work I sound. like a nerd but I feel like sound like a. nerd I do like like I I lowkey love. school no like feel productive it does. yeah but like I love seeing my friends. and making new friends and stuff and but. like the same thing is like I think at. 3.6 million followers I'll drop out of. school um I'm at 3.5 mil but um but I. seriously think that like I should you. know like wait so what's your you made. it so then you're good at that point. you're good to go like you're set for.
life what's your reasoning for dropping. out a 3.6 million followers though um so. I would drop out any day like I would. but my mom it's just my. mom time stands in the way I feel like. you're still too young to drop out I. you're like 16 16 you can make a little. bit more of a decision if you need to. yeah cuz that's like when cuz you seem. like the type of person that would just. would do not know school. yeah that's the point. going maybe even like a little half day. type situation you figure out but it's.
like with what you do now as long as. you're not overworking yourself by doing. school and this and you find that happy. medium cuz you still need to like be a. kid yeah um so as you can find it then. do both but yeah but my there's a thing. called Mom that gets in the way you know. what Mom Mom's looking out for you good. cuz my mom did the same thing I would. have dropped out first of all I hated. like I was fine in public public school. but the second I got to high school I. was like this is not it and for 3 years. I was like Mom please and then Co.
happened so I got really lucky so I had. go online anyway yeah and then after Co. when they were like okay go back to. school I was like I'm not doing that so. that's when I did online I should have. done that but well you were also in like. fifth grade when happed like you were. like little you were how old were you. when Co happened um fifth grade I was. like are you a freshman M yes I am the. same age as my brother my brother's age. really what's his name his name. is. really is try to make it up to three. yeah he's going to get added in on the.
