Either either the one when I'm dancing with James in the rain or I made a video in Hawaii where like I marked my feet on my friend's chest and like I made like a sun tattoo. Um, and yeah, everyone loved it. Yeah, I love the dogs.
Okay. So you have literally so many followers across all your platforms. But Tiktok is where you really honestly express your personality. So what do you remember from your early stages of Tiktok too? Now,
early stages of Tiktok, I think I'm enjoying it more now because before I was like, I would get like arguments with James about like, who's gonna post or when we're gonna post or what dance should we do? Um, it was all about like we just danced and now I feel like I can be myself and show how weird I am.
What do you think is your funniest? Like you have the dogs. Like, what do you think is your funniest thing across the board that you do.
Yeah, the dogs. I mean, I don't even know. I, like, I love reading the comments because, like, I get ideas from, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is genius. A lot of people compare me to, like, Ellen, which I think is hilarious. Um Yeah, there's there's a but I think you should have to go through my comments and you're like, yeah, everyone gets it. Yeah, I love, I love, like, the I love my comments there, awesome.
Who's one person you want to make a tiktok with? You just die.
Probably ross lynch that you have to, you have to join him at his concert. Yeah, just your doppelgangers, Like, literally just do it with people you like, hey guys,
okay, ready for the next one, Headphones back on this one's gonna be great. Okay, is it on the music is on? Okay, Vinnie Hacker, Vinnie Hacker.

Yeah, Vinnie hacker choose. Oh, shirtless. Oh my God, choose a good song, maniac. Er choose she chooses. Is that the whole question. Wait, we're going through it all. Benny hacker shirtless. Vinnie hacker to do list. Yes, yes, Okay, if you take them off now. So confident, Vinnie hacker shirtless. Vinnie Hacker shirtless. That's not a question. That's that's just a statement?
Okay, everybody loves you and Vinnie, Like, that's given. Yeah. What do you love about Vinny?
Um, I mean, I think we're so different, um, that I don't know, it's just, he's such a interesting cool guy. I don't know. There's so many, so many parts about him that I love. He's awesome.
Do you think that you'd ever be covered in tattoos like him? Do you want to do that?
I think they look amazing on him, but I don't think I would look that great with tattoos, but I mean, who knows? I have to stick and pokes in my butt cheek.
You actually, So that's your first tattoo and you're only tattoo.
Yeah, But it was like, my friend did it when I was a sophomore in high school, I thought it was like, gonna be temporary, but I think I did, it hurt like it was gonna be temporary and it bled a lot, but it was so worth it.
If you want more tattoos, maybe you should get one with Vinnie naturally. You should probably just get the same exact spider tattoos.
Yeah, I would, I would never copy one of his tattoos. Um, but I definitely want to get some sort of tattoo that. I mean, maybe like, I could get like, dogs on my toes. I think I think would be most appropriate. Like, I think that makes the most sense definitely. And it's like, if I go to like a meeting or something, I don't have to always show it, but no one would really know like, Birkenstocks and that's so true. And people don't really see the one Tiktok as they do now. Already do. Yeah. I don't think, I think Tiktok is, um, like I can't really show like my feet, which it makes sense of community. I think it's like flagging my this one don't show. Yeah. No feet. Yeah.
You should make an only fans for your feet.
So down. Why not? Coming soon.
Coming to the lab to with how is Vinny Hacker saved in your phone? Check. I think it's like, it's honestly, I feel like you're the type to have people saved with emojis and stuff sometimes.
But like Vinny's had so many numbers that like they have three vinnie actors in my son and they're also, I need to add some emoji. Do the spider like so true Makes sense. Or a snake. The snake. Yeah. Yeah. I, I always always have to go through each number because like your face timing a stranger because they got a number I'll add to the spider. Okay. Thank you for that.
You're welcome. You're welcome. Anything for you. Um, okay. Ready. Ready. Ready. Ready. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm, I'm on, I'm in, I'm on netflix. I'm a what?
I'm on netflix. I'm on netflix. Yes. You got it. That one was real. That one was real. You can take that one. That one was actually real. So you got that one. I wasn't being nice this time. Both wrong. But I wanted to make you feel like you got it.
Okay so you're on netflix. Yeah. Do you watch yourself on netflix?
No. Did you when it came out? Just when it came out and then yeah I don't like watching myself at all.
Did you cringe or you were fine?
I'm just like why do I talk like that? Why do I look like that? You know it's I think you're so much more judgmental of yourself watch yourself but I could watch like the other episodes but I haven't rewatched it.
Are you gonna show your kids that one day? Um I know netflix take shows off. Its still on. Yeah it's still on. Maybe I'll let them figure it out there. Just like randomly one day like going through netflix and they just see you.
I mean I didn't think about that.
What is what was one of your favorite scenes that they put in the show that you filmed?
Um I think when when I went to um Chase's house with Benny and like I wasn't too close to Benny yet and I hadn't seen chasing a long time so it was like it was all very awkward. I didn't know what to talk about. Yeah and it was like he did like a little house tour showing his house um pretty pretty nice house. Um But yeah it was just very awkward. Like we sat on the bed and like talk it's like I feel like we wouldn't usually do that in real life? But yeah, you kind of have to for like the show, but I thought it was fun and weird and it's also like
I was gonna say cause you're like going in with a mission to film it as a reality show. It's like, oh sit on Chase's bed and like let's all talk. And it's just like, well not what we talk about because you told us to talk. It's so funny. And we, us three went to in and out like right after just hung out, just hung out with the whole hype house phase in that whole entire part of your life. Was that like, did it feel real? Um Because like you guys were the entire internet, like everyone knew that the, you were filming a netflix show, like that was gonna come out. There was high expectations, like what was your mindset before? Like it, you knew you were filming it and being like a part of the high pass.
Yeah. It was so weird to think about it. Like it didn't feel like it was actually going to happen I guess. Also like, yeah, I went from like going to like high school every day, going to sports, um to like being in L. A.
All the time feeling like a network show. So it was so different. It still feels like it's not real. Yeah, that's insane, definitely.
What is one thing that you want to do? Like acting? Okay, so that's that's the route you want to say?
Yes, I love acting.
Did you like being like obviously it was a reality set, but like, did you like the cameras constantly following you?
Yes. And I thought um obviously it's like it can get overwhelming, but I had a lot of fun and the crew was like very nice. It was fun getting to know them. Um Yeah, like I went to Hawaii with the crew and should like my dad's old house and like my grandma and uh that was really, it wasn't on the show, but that was just, it was so fun. I got to know the producers and the camera crew like um and they're all like very sweet, more more fun.
That's unreal. I can't, I can't believe that whole the netflix show, like you guys killed it. Like that was an insane part.
Okay. I think the fun thing about two was like kind of forced us to go out and do stuff which I love going out and doing things. I thought that was really fun. Yeah.
Who's your favorite person to hang within the show? Like who did you get really close with you think?
I think it kind of forced Vinnie and I to like, because they would do like scenes with each person? Like Benny and I kind of just met so we kind of got closer on the show, you know where we became like really good friends on the show I guess. Um, Yeah.
Okay. Ready for the next one.
Yeah, I'll change this on. Let's see. Okay. I'm funny. It's a chicken salad. It's a chicken salad. The song is like, oh, you can hear me. It's like a couple beers. We're skipping. But you killed that. That was good. That one was really good. You know the Tiktok now? I can't hear you. I did not not hearing each other. Okay, Different one. It's a different one. Okay, so, so slay, See what so slay slay Queen Queen. Yes. So Slay Queen. Okay. We're doing another one while you have the one who, who let the dogs out. Who let the dogs out. Why are you good at it? Good? Yes. No. Did I do it wrong? No. Right. You got it? Right. Okay. Purple flower, purple flower, blue of flour, Purple flower, blue flower, santa, Monica, santa, Monica. Foreign passport.
I feel like you're saying a bunch of different things, Jack? Right. Jack. Right. James, Right. James. Right. Why are you good at it now? Why am I, what are you good at it now? Why am I getting it now? Yes, Is that good? Yeah. Yes. You can take the headphones off. I can. Yellow brick road. Uh, yellow brick road. Yellow brick road. I don't know. I don't know what your yellow background. It's the are you saying a bunch of different things. No, you've been saying the same thing over and over up the entire time. Yellow brick road. Yellow brick road. That one was wrong. That was different. Yellow brick road. What? Okay. You can take that one off. I can't hear you. Okay. I said a million different things. But you actually did get all of them for a hot minute there. Now. It's like a little boy who cried wolf. You don't believe me. I know you got all them in the beginning, right? So slight clean who let the dogs out and it's a chicken salad. And then I just mumbled a ton of random other words. Yeah. So that's fun. Yes. Also, okay. Where do you get your inspiration from when it comes to making your Tick talks? Um, they awful wom like, are you literally just making them randomly?
It's random. And like when I, like when I'm talking to someone or I'll get like inspo on Tiktok or there's like a trend and like I'll just do the trend like, weirdly. Yeah. Instead of just on the spot, you know?
Yeah. That's crazy. You're very funny. You're very funny. And Tiktok. You just
Thank you. Thank you so much. Very funny. I know.
Um, okay. And then what is one thing that the internet misunderstands about you or one thing that you want people to know that they might not know across the board. Not just Tiktok people like everyone. That's a fan of you.
Mm good question. I feel like there's so many layers to different people? And on social media they only get these like quick clips. Um Which like I just I don't know. I don't know. There's so much more to people and like I guess I haven't shown my full personality on social media which is I guess my decision. But um I guess realizing that yeah, there's just more layers to people.
Yeah, that makes sense. It does. Can you explain it better for me basically you're more than meets the eye. How about that
Definitely where you're like, okay, so if you're literally just hanging out and cameras are off like you're literally just chilling. What do you like to do the most? Like do you like going in and out like playing video games? Like like like like adventuring, going to the beach, hiking, going to abandoned places. Um Yeah like going like going out and doing stuff, you know um everywhere else connected. Yeah. You still showcase that on social media to like dancing. Going out and dancing. Have so much fun. I'm always like the one that's dancing actually. Dancing. Yeah.
You're gonna you can make a cameo on dancing with the stars later now that you're just jump in there when they're all dancing? Just push her literally shut her off the dance floor. Okay. And what last one? What where do you want to be in five years or what do you think you're gonna be doing? How old are you, what are you gonna be in five years? You should do the math 24. Okay. So what, what, what is 24 year old Jack gonna be up to?
I cannot imagine myself as 20. So we're thinking about um, What about a 30 shoot? No. Um, Yeah, I want to be like a deal when I'm 30, you know? Yeah. So kids, you're having kids by in the next 10 years maybe. Yeah. Um, like definitely acting an actor, maybe like seeing myself on the big screens. That was so corny.
It's fine. You'll be on another billboard on sunset, but just not for hype house. You'll be like your own netflix documentary series. Also like a, like a travel show. I think like a ghost hunting show. You'd be like a National Geographic. Like you go with the animals around around the world, speak to the animals and nature. It could be about how you communicate to the animals themselves, like the energy through nature. Yeah. And then you make Tiktok's with them. It's like a whole thing cute. Okay, well you killed the game. You did good. Well actually you only got like three, but you did great. You're a good sport.
Thank you. I think.
Well, thank you for not mumbling. Did you have fun?
That was really fun. I had so much fun. You can come back and we'll do a different genre of music in like a week? It'll be like classical next week.
Um, where do you see yourself in five years? What do I see myself? And hopefully hopefully we're doing this. But in the NFL network. Oh yeah. Big football girl. Big football girl. So that's, that's my only goal. I like all teams. I like players. Like players. Yeah, like individual players. But I'm like, I, I pick a team during the game, it's like whoever is like the best. Yeah. Yeah. I've been the fan since day one. Yeah, totally. Did you like the chargers when they were in SAn Diego now that they're in L. A. I used to go to games like all the time. Yeah. But yeah, we just go to Sophia. It'll be great. I think do they still say like san Diego supercharged? I don't think so. I think they left that in san Diego.
