Hey guys, Tatyana here, hanging out in the official tour bus with The Ready Set, Jordan, how are ya?

Jordan

Doing good, how are you?

Young Hollywood

How is it in this tour bus?

Jordan

It's good. Uh, it's pretty comfortable. We got some nice, I don't know what you call this, some sort of soft suede, almost snake skin looking couch.

Young Hollywood

Early nineties chic.

Jordan

Yeah, yeah, chic, that's what, that's the word. That's the word.

Young Hollywood

So your tour bus is exceptionally clean, can we talk about, this is not normal. I'm not used to this. I'm used to getting in a tour bus and getting some kind of disease. Um What's going on?

Jordan

No diseases in here. We keep it, we keep it fairly clean. We actually cleaned it for the occasion today.

Young Hollywood

You mean for me? My

Jordan

Yeah, yeah.

Young Hollywood

Or because your family's in town?

Jordan

Yeah, my family's in town here.

Young Hollywood

So let's move on to your new single that I'm really excited about. I just heard it two days ago, it just came out. Tell me about it.

Jordan

Yes, it is called "Young Forever" and it just actually just got around to like radio stations, so it's gonna start hopefully poping up more and more there. And it's about kinda everything going on when I started The Ready Set and I started touring. Um, I was kinda I was driving around in an SUV with a couple of my friends, just uh, being broke, playing to twenty people a night and uh, sleeping on floors. And it's about being positive through all that kinda negative stuff and just kind of um, taking the good with the bad and and trying to enjoy everything. Nobody can touch us. We run and we run and we run. Hey, hey. We'll be young forever. We'll be young forever 'til forever stops.

Young Hollywood

So tell me about your connection with Pete Wentz. Fall Out Boy.

Jordan

Yeah, he uh, he signed me to his label Decaydance um, to Decaydance and Warner Brothers were like the first to kind of come around and be like, "We really want to sign you." and and we have like these cool plans for you and stuff. So and it was kind of the one I got the best vibe from.

Young Hollywood

I think you should work with Lil Wayne.

Jordan

So do I. I would love that. Weezy, if you're listening, just let's just let's just make it happen. Just make it happen.

Young Hollywood

Talk to me about Wallace.

Jordan

Wallace is my cat. He's uh, lives at my house in Indiana and um, so I think he's five. I found him in a parking lot and he was he was a dirty, small, little dirty kitten and he let me pick him up and put him in my car and take him home.

Young Hollywood

So Wallace kinda looks like a like a tiger cat sort of.

Jordan

Uh-huh. He's white with uh, tiger brownish, grayish spots. We can run, run, run, run away. We can run, run, run, run away. We can run, run, run, run away. We can run, run, run, run away. Oh, oh.

Young Hollywood

Congratulations. I know you've heard this a thousand times before. Platinum single, "Love Like Woe."

Jordan

Thank you. Yeah, it's crazy. It's really crazy.

Young Hollywood

But I have to ask you some "Love Like Woe" questions. What makes a girl have a love like woe?

Jordan

Um, "Love Like Woe" is actually a negative thing. It's um, the song is it's spelled W-O-E on purpose actually. A lot of people thought that was me spelling it wrong, but I promise I am uh, I am kinda crazy. I'm crazy about grammar and stuff. So

Young Hollywood

So it's not like it's not like, love is like whoa in a good way. It's love is like woe, like woe is me.

Jordan

Yeah, it's it's kinda about a relationship where one of the persons like one of the like people in it is kinda crazy and uh, not manageable, you can't

Young Hollywood

Who's the crazy one, the girl?

Jordan

Um, in this in the song situation, yes. But it could be either, you know? I try to make it relatable to everybody. Love like woe. Girl's got love like woe. I feel like it's just makes sense because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again.

Jordan

Hey what's up, I'm Jordan from The Ready Set. Thank you for hanging out with Young Hollywood.
