Young Hollywood

It's all good. Those are all my nieces. They're like huge, huge fans of yours, so

Victoria Justice

Oh my god, you're so cute. How fun is this that like we can do that. You know what I mean? like It's so cool.

Young Hollywood

So, we should talk about the Kids Choice Awards this Saturday.

Victoria Justice

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Are you excited? What do you plan for the day?

Victoria Justice

Already filmed it actually.

Young Hollywood

Oh, you filmed it.

Victoria Justice

Yeah, I did. I did. We pre-taped it. Um, and it was great. It was really fun. Things went really smoothly and uh, what time? I woke up, I don't know, like around 10:00 or something and then we just had break we made myself an omelet, did hair and makeup really quick and then just hopped on and did it. I had like a nice little background that I created for myself. They sent over some like balloons and some fun flowers and festive stuff and of course, you know, blimps and some slime for decoration and you guys are just gonna have to tune in to see, but it was fun. You know, we're we're doing the best we can, you know, where I'm at home. I'm quarantined, I'm I'm we're trying to make it work, but I think, uh, I think it's gonna be good.

Young Hollywood

To, how are you gonna watch it? Like are you having FaceTime, people are gonna FaceTime in or anything, or you're just gonna watch it by yourself at home.

Victoria Justice

I'm actually at home with my family right now. Okay. And so we're all together so we'll probably all watch it together. Mhm. Even though like I'm so weird. I don't like watching myself that much. It's like a weird thing, but uh, but it'll be fun. I have to watch it too because like I do something really fun and it'll be cool to watch that back.

Young Hollywood

Anything you can tell us of like how it's gonna like any secrets of just like what they're gonna do now that it's all virtual? Because it's gonna be totally different experience. I'm

Victoria Justice

Yeah. Yeah, I mean any secrets? I mean, you just have to tune in to see how it goes down. But it's it's gonna be really fun, you know, it's obviously a totally unique Kids Choice Awards. It's never been done like this before. It's me hosting from my house, very casually, you know? Um, and but there's lots of fun, uh, appearances by so many cool people. We got like The Rock, and we have Ellen DeGeneres and BTS and uh, so many people. Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, um, and the list goes on and on and on. Like so many awesome people that are, you know, making their uh, acceptance speeches and doing fun stuff like from their homes. So, you know, people are just getting really creative with it and having fun with it, you know, it's a Kids Choice Awards after all so there's definitely also slime involved.

Young Hollywood

I know that the voting was done at home by kids before they found out that everything was gonna be virtual. So, now that people like these kids that voted online and everything like that are gonna see their favorite celebrities in their own homes. Yeah. That will add like a really like nice twist to it, like people seeing what their at home.

Victoria Justice

I know. I think it's like a really unique experience and I think it's gonna be cool for kids in a lot of ways. I mean at the end of the day, I think it sort of makes these people that they look up to more relatable because it's like, we're all in this together, you know? We're all we all have to stay home and we all have to to follow the same rules and and guidelines and whatnot. I think it's gonna be cool for kids to see like their their favorite stars just like in their homes like in their sweatpants or with, you know, their family or whoever or their pets. I think that's, you know, it's a unique opportunity to to do that.

Young Hollywood

like and different outfits for this? 'Cause I know like normally when you when you would host something like this, you're gonna have like 20,000 different wardrobe changes, right?

Victoria Justice

Yeah, normally I would go all out. Um.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, as I was saying, as I was saying, you're like, I'm home. I'm in my sweatpants, chilling out, like.

Victoria Justice

Yeah, I mean, it's pretty like I'm kind of just in like the same outfit for the entire thing, like just like keeping it really casual. You know? Yeah. I'm crazy. Oh, it's awesome. So yeah, I know. I've heard. I've heard of that. Well, I don't know who this is, but like yeah. Yeah. No. Of course. Yeah, you were you were with us when we were at that place.

Young Hollywood

I was? No Tracy. Yeah, we got I think it was at I forget where it was, maybe VidCon.

Victoria Justice

VidCon. Yeah. No way. Did you guys like it?

Young Hollywood

Yeah, it was so cool. It's pretty fun.

Victoria Justice

Yeah, it was. But I love slime. Like I can watch slime videos on Instagram too. Like I love slime. Genuinely. Yeah, I love slime so much and they got stuck to my clothes so I had to wash off.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. It does that. It's very green and very slimy and it'll get it'll stain stuff if you don't wash it right away. Never figured out how to do those videos of how to make slime. It just looks so it looks so fun but like complicated.

Victoria Justice

Yeah. I don't know. I've never actually made my own slime, but like I just love playing with it and watching it. It's fun. So that's like a that's a great quarantine activity. Just sit there.

Young Hollywood

It really is. Right? What's your what's like what have you been doing in quarantine? Any like fun activities that we all need ideas.

Victoria Justice

I've been learning how to cook more stuff, which has been fun. Um, I'm perfecting my breakfast omelet, which I've been doing with mushrooms and onions and spinach and then like some fresh cracked pepper at the end and like some nice brioche bread and it's been delicious.

Young Hollywood

Did you hop on the banana bread trend or anything? Did you make banana bread?

Victoria Justice

No. I didn't. I didn't. I feel like everybody on Instagram was making banana bread. Everyone was making it. The that became like the thing to do. I don't know who established that banana bread was going to be the thing but like someone made it a thing and it became everybody's thing.

Young Hollywood

I feel it started on Tik Tok or something.

Victoria Justice

I haven't I haven't made a Tik Tok yet, but I'm like tempted. I'm watching it and I'm like, that looks really fun.
