Speaker 1 (00:01):
Straw Media. Oh my gosh, it's my brother. I think
I have to answer this. Hello, I'm doing a pod.
Did you get it by? I love you too? He
needed my mom's email. I don't know why. He just
doesn't look stuff up sometimes, like it's literally in your email. Okay, y,
(00:31):
hey guys, welcome back to the Jordan Jones Podcast. I'm
so happy that you guys are back listening watching whatever.
Macha's here again today. She is getting bigger. She's almost
one years old. It's crazy, but yes, we are so
(00:52):
happy to be back in the studio today. Answering your
guys questions. These ones are questions that you guys had
for me, So let's get right on into the video.
How did your life change since you became a cat? Mom? Okay?
Number one would be coming home to her has just
(01:13):
made my life so much better. You know, I'm so
happy coming home or just not having plans, or even
when I have plans, I just want to get home
to my cat. I seriously think that I couldn't have
been more lucky with her personality. She is so perfect.
It's literally like I created her in a lab of
(01:35):
exactly what I wanted, and it's just crazy. It just
like brings me so much more happiness to my life.
So that is definitely a pro. Another pro is, honestly
like having a responsibility. I love having that. Just making
sure you know of her appointments and her checkups and
her eyes and her teeth and her nail trimming, and
(01:56):
you know, making sure she takes a bath every single month.
I get her all these new toys. I'm not a
surface level type of person when it comes to taking
care of something, whether it's a boyfriend or a mom
or my own cat. I genuinely research everything, really try
to do my best with her and being her mom,
(02:18):
I'm just so much more like responsible and attentive. I
can sense the smallest thing. I can sense she has
to go to the bathroom where she's hungry, or her
water bowl is getting low, and just like how she acts,
it just makes me so much more I don't know,
I just like have to think about more things, like
even if I leave the house, It's like, Okay, when
did I leave? When do I have to be back?
(02:40):
Is there food in her bowl? Are the cameras on?
Is the slider door? Because I have like a screen
and then a slider and I keep the slider open
when I'm home because she likes to look out. And
then again, the screen door keeps her inside, and I
always shut the door. So it just makes you think more.
It changes like me and how I think for the Again,
that's another pro. Literally the only con, but it's a
(03:04):
pro at the same time is the traveling thing. I'm
so thankful that my boyfriend watches her when I leave,
and if we both leave, someone else in his family
or you know, my assistant will come over and just
check on her here and there. I'm so thankful with
the people around me that also just love her so
(03:24):
much and just know that she's such a good cat.
People will watch her if I need to. But I
just don't really want to leave because I want to
be with my cat. I could do so much, you know,
more traveling right now, since I'm young, and a lot
of people don't want to get a cat for this reason.
But now that I have her, I don't want to
go do these things. I literally want to be home
(03:46):
with her. I like our routine, she likes being home
with me. That in itself is like a pro and
a con. But if I do have to leave, you know,
I have people that I trust that will take care
of her. If I didn't have the people that I
do have now to watch her, I don't really know
what I would do. I probably wouldn't leave ever, because
(04:08):
I don't want to go on a hiring service or anything,
because that's literally my baby. I just like have to
trust these people with my cat, like with my cat's life.
So yeah, that's kind of stressful at some points when
I do have to leave or I want to go
to Michigan. And I don't really want to travel with
(04:28):
her to Michigan because we have six dogs there and
six cats, and the door is constantly open and closed.
It's a really really old farmhouse. You can go into
the foundation, and we have a couple of cats in
Michigan that kind of just stay in the foundation of
the house, like we don't know where they are, we
don't know where they go. So I'm afraid that she's
going to go in these places and just be too
(04:48):
scared of these other cats and dogs. I'm not really
a fan of bringing her to Michigan yet, at least
I don't really want to ever bead. I'd be so
scared of her getting out or honestly being eaten buy
one of these cats or dogs at this house because
they're just like gigantic, and she's so small, she's nine pounds. Yeah,
I'm just so careful with her, and I'm so protective
(05:11):
and possessive, literally a crazy cat mom. But she has
changed my life only for the better. And I would
not even think for a second of the fact that
I couldn't take care of her, because I'm fully taking
care of her until she or I am not longer living.
So yes, I do not have any second plans with
(05:33):
my cat. I always see questions of people being like, well,
what are you gonna do when you don't want her anymore?
I'm sorry, what does that actually happen with people? I mean,
I know that people have to put their cats up
for adoption for many reasons. I would really hope that
it's not because you just don't want it anymore. If
something is going on with your living situation, or you know,
another dog that you've had forever is not getting along.
(05:57):
You know, I could see why people would do that,
but come on, like, if you just don't want it anymore,
like that is so irresponsible. I cannot I just do
not like those kinds of people, like, come on, if
you made that decision, you gotta stick with it unless
this cat can have a better life elsewhere. But I'm
going to be giving her the best life. So if
you cannot do that, then yes, totally agree with adoption
(06:20):
or finding a family friend, take care of your animals
or your pigs or literally anything. Who Okay, next, how
long have you and your boyfriend been together? I love
your videos. We just hit two years on August first,
going very strong, and yeah, we just went on a
trip to Montana. We go up to Monterey currently while
(06:40):
this is filming. Little trips like this are super fun
where it's a road trip so we get to spend
some fun time together. And yeah, two years is honestly crazy.
But it's been flying by, so has summer. Like summer
has flown by. I'm excited that it's flying by, kind
of because it's so hot. I've always been a summer person.
(07:01):
I've always been I prefer the heat person. Until this summer.
I cannot wait for it to be cold. I cannot
wait for it to rain, I cannot wait for it
to just be fall. I think I'm officially a fall person.
I've always been a spring summer person. I'm a fall person.
It's too hot and I cannot handle California anymore. It's
(07:23):
just so hot. It just it gives me headaches, Like
I have a headache right now because of this heat.
Why did you stop making music? I get this question
a lot. It makes me so happy that people ask
me this because I put so much money and time
(07:47):
and effort into my music back in the day. I
stopped about four years ago, and to see that people
are still asking me when music's coming out, what happened?
Why did I stop? It? Honestly puts that little thought
in my mind of should I do it again? But
why I stopped it was COVID. It was twenty twenty.
(08:08):
A big part of who I was as a musician
was music videos. I put so much into my music videos,
and that's honestly why I had a following was people
loved my music videos. So when COVID happened and you
couldn't be on sets, you you know, for a long
time you couldn't, and then after that it was a
(08:28):
much smaller crew. I had had some situations where I
did stuff like that to you know, keep it going
for a little while, But after a while I kind
of thought that the money I was putting into it
and how COVID happened, Okay, well, there's not going to
be shows, there's not going to be award shows, there's
everything came to a screeching halt. Social media at that point,
(08:51):
and brand deals and podcasts really took off for me
to the point where I didn't need to do music
because I was making money in other ways. And I
always know I can go back to music. I love it.
I still have the dance like in me. You know,
I could still always go back to that. But since
I was pursuing my social media career so much at
(09:12):
that point in twenty twenty twenty twenty one, it kind
of took until last year for music to really become
able to tour again and able to do all these
things and kind of go back to normal. So I
kind of took a break from it, and I thought
it was going to only be a break, but it
kind of turned into I quit, I'm done, But you
never know, I always think about how I want to
(09:34):
go back in the studio again. About a month ago,
I DMed my old producer back in the day, and
I told them that I had this song I wanted
to hear my voice on because I also was kind
of known for my covers and not a lot of
people are doing them anymore. But I really like this
one song and I really resonate with it, and I
kind of am curious on how I would sound. I
(09:55):
haven't sang and been in the booth in three, four years,
four or five years, maybe I don't even know, because
the songs that had come out with, you know, the
most recent songs, they were pre recorded obviously, so it's
been a long time. And he said, you know, if
you're ever in Nashville, please like, we'll hear you on it.
(10:16):
We'll see what happens. Yeah, there's a little sliver in
me that kind of misses it. But yeah, I've always
been an independent artist. Just to put it into perspective,
I would spend about thirty to forty thousand dollars for
each song from start to finish, from writers and studio
time and music videos and dancers and rehearsals and my
(10:39):
outfits and the hair and the makeup. I would be
done with a forty thousand dollars bill at the end.
It kind of just came to a point where when
COVID happened, it's like, okay, well what am I going
to do with the music now? So that's why I
decided to stop, because it wasn't smart for me to
be putting and no, I didn't have to put that
much into it, but that's I start arted with Banji
(11:00):
and that was like a fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
budget and that was a cover song. So because I
had started with that type of bang, I'm only an
up from there kind of person. And I had a
couple videos where it'd be like five to ten thousand
dollars budgets, just it didn't hit for me like the
videos you could tell. So yeah, when COVID happened, I
(11:21):
realized that if I'm not gonna be doing shows and
tours and anything like that, it's just not reasonable to
be spending that much money on a song when nothing
can come out of it. So that is really why
I quit, and I do think that a part of
me would be down to do it again. Okay, next,
(11:42):
how would you rate your twenty twenty four so far? Okay,
I'm gonna rate out of ten five because I got
my cat and that has definitely been the best part
of my twenty twenty four, but I have also had
like two or three of the worst months, so that
(12:05):
really took a toll on me. Also, it's kind of
just been a little bit boring. And then this heat
the past two months has just been so hot, where
the things I love to do, which is like being
outside and going on walks, and I just can't because
it's so hot. And I was really really sick a
(12:25):
month ago that was like the worst. I was so sick,
and then also in January, I had food poisoning, so
I was so sick. Then, Yeah, it's kind of just
been boring and upsetting and hot. That's kind of the
three words I would say to explain this year. But
(12:47):
I love Macha. What is your best advice for someone
who wants to enter the entertainment industry? My best advice
is focusing on one thing and going for it, because
when I was growing up and even my older brother,
he's a music video producer, and so that has been
his thing, his lane. He went to school for film
(13:08):
and then ever since he came out here he has
been a producer. He has stuck with that and ran
with it. Me on the other hand, I had done music,
I had done singing, rapping, dancing, acting, I did a
lot of things. I wasn't all in on any of them.
And so my advice is to be all in on
something and if it's acting, you know, find an acting
(13:29):
school that's in your budget, go consistently, and you know
you're able to audition do all of that stuff through
actors' access and casting networks and stuff like that, which
is super easy to you know, be able to look
up and figure out how to do some of those things.
If it's like producing. My brother, you know, went to
school for film and then when he came out here,
(13:51):
he just hopped on whatever he could, whatever set, whatever
he could get on. He did that and he worked
his way up. That is the best way to do
it out here. I actually have a friend who has
a mechanic shop. He's like the head guy there now,
and I always remember him telling me he had a
job to sweep the floors at that place or another place,
(14:13):
whatever it was, and he took it because that's what
he wanted to do, and he wanted to work his
way up. And he's like any guy that wants to
come in here and sweep our floors like we will
never say no because that inspired him so much to
you know, keep going. And when someone gave him that job,
it made them work so hard and made them so excited.
So that's just kind of how it is out here
(14:33):
on sets, is you know, working your way up and
taking any job, any opportunity that you can get, hop
on it, and always working towards your goal, but still
like just getting your name out there. Last one, do
you have any tips on how to deal with anxiety?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I also chose this one specifically because I had just
watched Inside Out too, and it's so crazy because I
have just been so like naive to think that I
don't have anxiety. I've almost been a hype about it,
like I'm like, oh, yeah, like I don't have anxiety
like everyone else like. But it's after seeing that movie
and seeing like what anxiety is. Honestly, that movie taught
(15:14):
me that I have anxiety. I'm that person that thinks
of how these different scenarios are going to go before
you go into something, and I kind of thought that
that was just overthinking or pre planning and you know,
being kind of like rehearsed in a way, of like
my life has been a d answer and I it's
kind of just like how my brain works. Come to
(15:35):
find out that that's anxiety. Me thinking the last couple
of days of how I'm gonna deal with it and
what I do when I feel like that and what
goes through my mind. I think that if you haven't
seen Inside Out too, and you want to know this answer,
I think you should watch Inside Out too, because it
really puts it into perspective how, what, when, where, why?
(15:55):
And answered some of my questions too. You know, you
have all these other motions. And in the movie, she
has a panic attack, she's freaking out, she's anxious, and
she got a hug. Something was just like telling her
like she's okay. Trying to have that mindset of like breathe,
You're okay. You know you need a hug from someone,
(16:20):
writing things out every single day, All these things kind
of help you. You have to acknowledge the fact that
you actually have it and what it looks like for you,
because it looks very different for everybody. But my main
tip is just breathe because when things are seeming too
stressful for me, when so much is at stake, or
(16:43):
you know, you're walking into a situation where you don't
really know, you're walking into the unknown. You tend to
freak out. You make up things in your head that
will never happen. I read something that eighty percent of
the things that we think about or feel and worry
about never happen. Kind of knowing these things in these
(17:05):
studies really help me kind of just calm down and
breathe and take a step back, understand that it's not
that serious. You don't have to have the what ifs
in your head. You kind of just go with the flow,
and yeah, it's gonna take time. Yeah it's just crazy.
But my advice is to watch Inside Out too and breathe,
(17:27):
it's going to be okay. Again, eighty percent of the
things that we're fearing never happen. So but then there's
like the you know, the people with the anxiety who
are like, what about the twenty percent? What it's the twenties, Like,
you know, just breathe, it's gonna be okay. All right, guys,
(17:52):

How did your life change since you became a cat? Mom? Okay?
Number one would be coming home to her has just

It's literally like I created her in a lab of

I told them that I had this song I wanted
to hear my voice on because I also was kind
of known for my covers and not a lot of
people are doing them anymore. But I really like this
one song and I really resonate with it, and I
kind of am curious on how I would sound. I
(09:55):
haven't sang and been in the booth in three, four years,
four or five years, maybe I don't even know, because
the songs that had come out with, you know, the
most recent songs, they were pre recorded obviously, so it's
been a long time. And he said, you know, if
you're ever in Nashville, please like, we'll hear you on it.
(10:16):
We'll see what happens. Yeah, there's a little sliver in
me that kind of misses it. But yeah, I've always
been an independent artist. Just to put it into perspective,
I would spend about thirty to forty thousand dollars for
each song from start to finish, from writers and studio
time and music videos and dancers and rehearsals and my
(10:39):
outfits and the hair and the makeup. I would be
done with a forty thousand dollars bill at the end.
It kind of just came to a point where when
COVID happened, it's like, okay, well what am I going
to do with the music now? So that's why I
decided to stop, because it wasn't smart for me to
be putting and no, I didn't have to put that
much into it, but that's I start arted with Banji
(11:00):
and that was like a fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
budget and that was a cover song. So because I
had started with that type of bang, I'm only an
up from there kind of person. And I had a
couple videos where it'd be like five to ten thousand
dollars budgets, just it didn't hit for me like the
videos you could tell. So yeah, when COVID happened, I
(11:21):
realized that if I'm not gonna be doing shows and
tours and anything like that, it's just not reasonable to
be spending that much money on a song when nothing
can come out of it. So that is really why
I quit, and I do think that a part of
me would be down to do it again. Okay, next,
(11:42):
how would you rate your twenty twenty four so far? Okay,
I'm gonna rate out of ten five because I got
my cat and that has definitely been the best part
of my twenty twenty four, but I have also had
like two or three of the worst months, so that
(12:05):
really took a toll on me. Also, it's kind of
just been a little bit boring. And then this heat
the past two months has just been so hot, where
the things I love to do, which is like being
outside and going on walks, and I just can't because
it's so hot. And I was really really sick a
(12:25):
month ago that was like the worst. I was so sick,
and then also in January, I had food poisoning, so
I was so sick. Then, Yeah, it's kind of just
been boring and upsetting and hot. That's kind of the
three words I would say to explain this year. But
(12:47):
I love Macha. What is your best advice for someone
who wants to enter the entertainment industry? My best advice
is focusing on one thing and going for it, because
when I was growing up and even my older brother,
he's a music video producer, and so that has been
his thing, his lane. He went to school for film
(13:08):
and then ever since he came out here he has
been a producer. He has stuck with that and ran
with it. Me on the other hand, I had done music,
I had done singing, rapping, dancing, acting, I did a
lot of things. I wasn't all in on any of them.
And so my advice is to be all in on
something and if it's acting, you know, find an acting
(13:29):
school that's in your budget, go consistently, and you know
you're able to audition do all of that stuff through
actors' access and casting networks and stuff like that, which
is super easy to you know, be able to look
up and figure out how to do some of those things.
If it's like producing. My brother, you know, went to
school for film and then when he came out here,
(13:51):
he just hopped on whatever he could, whatever set, whatever
he could get on. He did that and he worked
his way up. That is the best way to do
it out here. I actually have a friend who has
a mechanic shop. He's like the head guy there now,
and I always remember him telling me he had a
job to sweep the floors at that place or another place,
(14:13):
whatever it was, and he took it because that's what
he wanted to do, and he wanted to work his
way up. And he's like any guy that wants to
come in here and sweep our floors like we will
never say no because that inspired him so much to
you know, keep going. And when someone gave him that job,
it made them work so hard and made them so excited.
So that's just kind of how it is out here
(14:33):
on sets, is you know, working your way up and
taking any job, any opportunity that you can get, hop
on it, and always working towards your goal, but still
like just getting your name out there. Last one, do
you have any tips on how to deal with anxiety?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
So?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I also chose this one specifically because I had just
watched Inside Out too, and it's so crazy because I
have just been so like naive to think that I
don't have anxiety. I've almost been a hype about it,
like I'm like, oh, yeah, like I don't have anxiety
like everyone else like. But it's after seeing that movie
and seeing like what anxiety is. Honestly, that movie taught
(15:14):
me that I have anxiety. I'm that person that thinks
of how these different scenarios are going to go before
you go into something, and I kind of thought that
that was just overthinking or pre planning and you know,
being kind of like rehearsed in a way, of like
my life has been a d answer and I it's
kind of just like how my brain works. Come to
(15:35):
find out that that's anxiety. Me thinking the last couple
of days of how I'm gonna deal with it and
what I do when I feel like that and what
goes through my mind. I think that if you haven't
seen Inside Out too, and you want to know this answer,
I think you should watch Inside Out too, because it
really puts it into perspective how, what, when, where, why?
(15:55):
And answered some of my questions too. You know, you
have all these other motions. And in the movie, she
has a panic attack, she's freaking out, she's anxious, and
she got a hug. Something was just like telling her
like she's okay. Trying to have that mindset of like breathe,
You're okay. You know you need a hug from someone,
(16:20):
writing things out every single day, All these things kind
of help you. You have to acknowledge the fact that
you actually have it and what it looks like for you,
because it looks very different for everybody. But my main
tip is just breathe because when things are seeming too
stressful for me, when so much is at stake, or
(16:43):
you know, you're walking into a situation where you don't
really know, you're walking into the unknown. You tend to
freak out. You make up things in your head that
will never happen. I read something that eighty percent of
the things that we think about or feel and worry
about never happen. Kind of knowing these things in these
(17:05):
studies really help me kind of just calm down and
breathe and take a step back, understand that it's not
that serious. You don't have to have the what ifs
in your head. You kind of just go with the flow,
and yeah, it's gonna take time. Yeah it's just crazy.
But my advice is to watch Inside Out too and breathe,
(17:27):
it's going to be okay. Again, eighty percent of the
things that we're fearing never happen. So but then there's
like the you know, the people with the anxiety who
are like, what about the twenty percent? What it's the twenties, Like,
you know, just breathe, it's gonna be okay. All right, guys,
