I'm ready.
Okay, just like introducing myself.
Okay.
Hi guys, I'm Jimena, Jimena, but everyone calls me JJ, I guess.
And we're here in Young Hollywood.
Is that right?
Yep.
And we're going to be playing Smack or Pass.
I'm ready.
What's up, Young Hollywood?
Today, we're with JJ.
She just introduced herself and we're going to call her JJ today.
Just no one can say my name right.
So yeah, JJ it is.
So we are playing Smack or Pass.
So if you know the answer, you're going to smack the pillow really really fast.
Like really fast, it's like in very intense here.
You can obviously tell it's a pillow.
It's very intense.
And if you don't know it, still you can still smack it.
Whatever.
Whatever you decide to do.
Like I pass.
Yep, I pass actually.
Not going to do that.
So it's going to be some TikTok related questions, social media related questions, because you're huge on social media, which we'll get into.
And some, you know, American questions.
No.
Do you think you're going to know them?
Do you know a lot about American culture?
No.
Okay.
So hopefully we'll let you learn too.
All right.
Okay.
So here we go.
We're going to start easy, but it might not be easy for JJ.
So.
In America, there are a total of blank states.
How many states are there?
20 I don't 24.
Any other number?
I'm trying to count them in my head, but I don't even know where they are.
Uh, 28.
50.
Oh my God, that's right.
The stars.
There's 50 stars in the flag, right?
There's 50 states.
Like in like Hawaii.
Is it Hawaii even considered states?
California, Nebraska, New York, like those, like states.
I don't even know how many states are in Mexico.
So, you recently on your last LA trip, you made a TikTok with Bryce Hall and Taylor Holder.
Mhm.
Yes.
Who was the better Tik Toker?
No.
You're making me choose between them?
Yes.
Yes.
Oh my God.
Okay, uh I guess it's just that there's a difference, you know.
Like, uh, Taylor I think in my opinion knows how to dance better than Bryce.
He has like more attitude.
He dance really good.
And Bryce is more like a extra guy, you know, he would sometimes hit the wall like up here instead of here.
So that would be funny.
So, I like them both.
They're really cool, but I would have to go with Taylor.
Taylor.
Ding, ding, ding, Taylor's the answer.
I'm sorry, Bryce, you're going to win the fight.
Don't worry.
What is your relationship status right now?
Single.
What?
My response.
Is it that?
Yes.
Loving stuff?
Yes.
Single.
I was like, you're asking me if you're single, but you might like.
I was like, wait, single, what?
All right.
Do you have your eye on anybody or no?
No.
You're really good with the buzzer.
You're like really good.
Okay.

Quinton Griggs.
Oh!

Do you know the meaning behind it?
Uh, I want.

Sometimes I don't know the lyrics in, like, in English songs.
Or I don't say it right, but I can try.
Okay.
So it's, "Uh, uh, I got stung by a wasp."
I got stung by a wasp.
Bitch, I'm a goat.
I could go on for days and days.

The nicest human being ever.
She looked really nice.

And what did we talk about?
In-N-Out.
Yeah.
Who do you think is the cutest Tik Toker?
This was so.
I was like, Like my Tik Tok crush.
Kind of.
I DMed him once.
And and I DMed him like a lot of times when I was like not a Tik Toker and I just saw like the Tik Toks.
And I was like, hey, who are you?
In case you see this.
I love you.
And then when I blew up and I had like a, I think I had like 1. 8 million followers.
He answered all of those and I was like, all of them.
All like 100 of hey, I love you.
Hey, still love you.
And he was like, oh, and I was like, no.
You were not suppose.
Wait.
You weren't supposed to see that.
I hope he doesn't see this because that would be really crazy.
We still don't know his name, so you're going to have to know this.
No, no.
I do know his name.
Like I don't know.
I think it's it starts with a Z.
So you obviously didn't stay in contact after he answered your messages because you don't even know his name.
He stopped texting me back and I was like, oh.
You're not even that cute now.
I don't know if it was Zach or Was he just you have more followers than him now?
Yeah.
But at the time, do you use to be really good at transitions?
ZBRAY.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I talked to him before on.
Don't tell him.
That was, like, I had a crush on him like last year.
But right now, I think I've had a crush on like more girls than than boys.
Yeah.
Boys are not my thing anymore.
Like I'm so tired.
Or over it.
No more boys.
Oh, and then what about a girl?
A girl?
Yeah.
I don't really know their names.
Like I just like, like it.
I like that.
If you like in that situation, do you ever DM people first or you don't?
I I actually don't care uh, giving like the first step by talking to someone like I don't care.
Like, what could be the worst thing that could happen?
They one responds to me.
It's not going to kill me. Yeah. Like if I like him, I'm going to text him and be like, hey, I like you.
Really? Yeah. You're that bold.
Yeah. I don't want to waste my time.
That's true. Valid. Better be fast or you better be as fast as you hit that. You hit that pillow when it hit the buzzer goes off. Who's one person that has DMed you and you're like, oh my God, I'm freaking out about.
Uh, I didn't well, I did freak out when Taylor texted me. Yeah. Because like I was with my friends and they went crazy. They're like, oh my God, he's my crush. And I was like, okay. Like that. Sure. But like maybe I they uh, an actor, a Mexican actor, which he lives here, which is my favorite actor of all times.
And he DMed you?
Uh, Eugenio Derbez.
Oh yeah, yeah. I know this dude. He's like the best Mexican actor. He has 60 million followers.
Yeah. I love him. He's like a father to me.
Did you make a video with him?
Yeah.
That's so sick. Look at you. Wait. And so back to back to how did Taylor and that Bryce collab or how did that come?
Taylor texted me and, like, uh, in November, I think. He was just saying hi, and I was like, hi, like, I texted hi back. And then he said, like, uh, we should collab. And I was like, sure. And then like, yeah, I would love to. I'm going to LA like in December, so we can collab there. And when I got there, he was like, okay, let's meet up. And then the day I collaberated with him, Bryce showed up. That's right. And it was like, nice to meet you, I'm Bryce. And I was like, I'm JJ. Right.
Oh my God, that's cute though. Okay, and then who's one person you want to collab with? That you haven't.
Emma Chamberlain.
You haven't met her yet? You need to meet her.
I text her every day. No, not every day, but I've texted her a lot of times. Hello. Yeah, like no. I say, it's my birthday. Love me, please. Okay. Actually, oh, hey, yeah, let's let's now. Let's hang now. Like come pick me up.
She will DM you. That's what I've gathered from this. She will DM you. If she wants you, she's going to send you a message.
She doesn't want me. She doesn't know who I am. I've talked about her a lot of times, in various birthdays. I was like melting like him. Please Emma, if you see this, Please. DM JJ back because
No, no, no, no, no. That's you getting yourself into situations because you literally will DM these people. And then they see it.
Like I'm going to erase her. I'm going to erase her. I tell you to text her. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's not going to see this. But if you see this, that was not me, that was um, Carlos Santana. I didn't do it. There you go. Was it her? Was it her? They hacked my account. Even though at the beginning, she's like, I messaged her. But like. Not you. It was not me.
Okay. And then what's one thing you want to come from Tik Tok?
I don't know. I want to be able to live by myself. Yeah. Like pay all my stuff, and have a car, and have like a really nice house. Uh, I would love to act, but uh, like a sometimes my memory sucks. Sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it does. Like if I'm able to learn a language and can speak the language right. Then how hard can it be to learn a movie? Hi guys, I'm JJ. So swipe up to watch the Smack or Pass. What? Why are you looking at me so much? Stop. You're making me nervous. If your name is not Emma Chamberlain, don't go into my DMs. She's going to think I'm obsessed. But I am obsessed. I comment on her picture like, uh, like step on my face. You have not seen it. Like. I also texted her, "Stops." Hello, I'm so proud of you. Can we please make a Tik Tok of just all your DMs? Please. For guys.
No, no, no, no. There are so many so many messages in there.
Are you good at answering your DMs or no?
Oh, no.
