Speaker 1: your regular girl that just wants to like up the prettiest. Right.
Speaker 1: So we had a good time, but you're going to
Speaker 1: vacation too, right, I'm going tomorrow on vacation. Oh so
Speaker 1: we're going to this kid's resort in uh In, Dominican Republic.
Speaker 1: And I'm seriously, I don't know who's more excited, my
Speaker 1: husband or the boys. I'm excited to you want me
Speaker 1: to get slided. I just you know what it is.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm very My expectations are very low for
Speaker 1: what because it's not a vacation. It's gonna be craziness.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a million other kids. There's gonna be
Speaker 1: my kids. So the kids are gonna wake up super hype,
Speaker 1: like pumped. My son already gets up at five thirty
Speaker 1: in the morning. He's gonna be like, let's do this,
Speaker 1: let's go. I'll be getting the best beach chairs, by
Speaker 1: the way, So if anybody wants to like float me
Speaker 1: at twenty I will get your beach chairs early in
Speaker 1: the morning. Since you had your kids, have you been
Speaker 1: able to do like a loan vacation like your husband, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we do. We went to Barcelona by ourselves or my
Speaker 1: mom my mom my mom my mother is a big
Speaker 1: proponent of that. You know. My co host copy was
Speaker 1: just in here and we were just all chatting and stuff,
Speaker 1: and we were talking about travel and like one of
Speaker 1: the things that I've said to my husband ever since
Speaker 1: we got together. We traveled a lot while we were
Speaker 1: still like dating, and then also after we got married,
Speaker 1: we said we didn't want to get married and have
Speaker 1: kids like right away, so we traveled a lot. We
Speaker 1: went to Costa Rica, we went to Bali, like you know,
Speaker 1: we love Yeah. Yeah, so it's like and we travel
Speaker 1: well together. But then once my babies came, my mom
Speaker 1: actually said, when the baby is six months and after
Speaker 1: you're dumb breastfeeding, you need to go on a vacation
Speaker 1: with your husband. And yeah, and it's a great way
Speaker 1: to reconnect. Six months and you've been attached to the
Speaker 1: baby the whole six months. How was it going away?
Speaker 1: Did you feel terrible? I felt horrible. I had a
Speaker 1: panic attack, and I mean, like not funny like you
Speaker 1: know how some people are like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: had a panic attack. No, like I legit had a
Speaker 1: full blown panic attack, like hands shaking, hyperventilating, because I
Speaker 1: was just like my baby, you feel like you should
Speaker 1: be there first time. Mom. It's like so scary for you,
Speaker 1: right yeah, And it's like you know, you know that
Speaker 1: you have a responsibility and it's a great responsibility, but
Speaker 1: you also know that you have this like beautiful union
Speaker 1: that you need to like maintain an upkeep. But then
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it's really being torn into it
Speaker 1: really is. I hear a lot of the times, like, uh,
Speaker 1: marriages suffer when a child enters the equation because all
Speaker 1: the attention goes to the child. Now, was your husband
Speaker 1: in any way jealous like when the baby came, or
Speaker 1: did he feel like, wow, I'm no longer number one
Speaker 1: in your life? Never thank goodness, because I do have
Speaker 1: friends who have suffered from that, you know, like their
Speaker 1: husbands feel like they're being neglected and then they start
Speaker 1: acting out. And now you have a newborn and you
Speaker 1: have a husband who's dissatisfied or you know, uh, upset
Speaker 1: with you, and you just don't know how to make
Speaker 1: everything right, and you have work calling you asking when
Speaker 1: are you coming back, and so there's just like a
Speaker 1: lot of things to juggle. The good thing is that
Speaker 1: Mark is not a jealous person, and he always understood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he always understood that, like, you know, this was my
Speaker 1: responsibility and that like I needed to be there for
Speaker 1: the kids. But um, Mark's just not jealous at all,
Speaker 1: which kind of bothers me. Like, you know, I wish
Speaker 1: you we're a little bit jealous, Like if you see
Speaker 1: somebody like iron up your girl, like that doesn't bother you.
Speaker 1: And he's like, no, you're mind, like you're you're my wife,
Speaker 1: Like why you know? Do you feel like if he was,
Speaker 1: let you know, it would be totally different because Latino
Speaker 1: meant are real crazy when it comes to that. I
Speaker 1: want to fight everybody. They want to confront everybody, and
Speaker 1: I want to be there be like that's my man thought,
Speaker 1: but you gotta come up with that damn bail money.
Speaker 1: I've always been like a stop, I'll tell yourself, relax,
Speaker 1: it's not that serious. I think, like when I was younger,
Speaker 1: that was like such a sign that a person is
Speaker 1: totally into you, They're willing to fight for you. Yes, yes, honey. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then now it's like, as I've gotten older, I've
Speaker 1: recognized it, like, that's probably not the best way to
Speaker 1: be in a relationship. Very embarrassing. Also it does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so no, he's he's never been like that, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to figure out a way to make it happen.
Speaker 1: We just went to Bora, Bora. You're going on this
Speaker 1: amazing trip. The one thing that we've been talking about
Speaker 1: a lot on our show is like experiences, not things.
Speaker 1: And it's so difficult because I think the people think, oh,
Speaker 1: I only have one day off of work, what can
Speaker 1: I get done? You can hop over to St. Thomas,
Speaker 1: the Bahamas. I mean, obviously you have to save up
Speaker 1: for it, or you find like a cheap deal or
Speaker 1: you know, but there are ways that you can kind
Speaker 1: of work the system. We just had this long weekend.
Speaker 1: We just had President's Day. You could have Friday was
Speaker 1: like an easy day. Most people didn't work. You could
Speaker 1: have just went for four days somewhere. Yes, and even
Speaker 1: within the United States, there's a lot of beautiful places.
Speaker 1: I'm dying to go to Arizona. I've never been there,
Speaker 1: but I always say these amazing pictures from Arizona. Honey,
Speaker 1: I want to go there. I graduated from Arizona State University.
Speaker 1: I am a sun devil. In my three years of partying,
Speaker 1: I never found time to go to the Grand freaking Camp.
Speaker 1: It is one of my biggest regrets. But that's like
Speaker 1: New york Is who don't go to Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so true. Okay, good, you made me feel better.
Speaker 1: But I was hopping on that America West thirty five
Speaker 1: dollar flight to Vegas every other weekend. Thirty five dollars
Speaker 1: it used to cost for America West. But yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a beautiful place. I believe it's in Utah. If I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: please forgive me. But it's called Moab. It's where it's
Speaker 1: got like the colored rocks you see. I've seen it
Speaker 1: on the graund Yes, Instagram is amazing. You know I'm
Speaker 1: going to Abisa is because of Instagram? No no, no, no, okay,
Speaker 1: I have to help you. No, no place, no no no.
Speaker 1: You can't say Abisa. You say Ebitha. Oh I have
Speaker 1: to say this, but you have to go into Espana
Speaker 1: and what I'm in Espania. I'm gonna go to Abisa. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you know the origin of it right. You know
Speaker 1: how Spaniards they don't say Ibiza or they don't say
Speaker 1: Barcelona Barcelona because they like drag their tongue very like
Speaker 1: sneaky like. Yes, And the reason being that the king
Speaker 1: had a lisp, and in order to make him not
Speaker 1: feel like an asshole, all of the other people started
Speaker 1: speaking with a list. Now it all makes sense, and
Speaker 1: that's where the origin, that's where it comes from. And
Speaker 1: that's where a lot of people don't recognize or they
Speaker 1: don't realize that that's the reason why they do that.
Speaker 1: Why I always thought they were trying to be like
Speaker 1: kind of like extra sexy mysteriously they do that. That's
Speaker 1: just in the blood, yes, but it's beautiful like And
Speaker 1: actually when we were there, there was this place called
Speaker 1: you know you, and I would say it like Nacion, right,
Speaker 1: and every time we would talk to someone they would
Speaker 1: be like, oh nay. And so finally at the end
Speaker 1: I said to my husband, I was like, oh, let's
Speaker 1: go to na and he's like, you just did it.
Speaker 1: You just did it, He's like, But I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I want to be like the people.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna have the best experience you might not
Speaker 1: come back. What you think I'm a move you might
Speaker 1: not come back? I did say to my husband. I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I could see myself posting up
Speaker 1: here for a summer with the kids, like not coming
Speaker 1: back for three months, because it's just so beautiful. There's
Speaker 1: so much culture, like history. Would you ever think about
Speaker 1: retiring to another country that's not in the United States.
Speaker 1: I've thought about it. Yeah, you know for a while,
Speaker 1: I said, Nicarawa, just because like your money could go
Speaker 1: a really long way. I would love to do things like,
Speaker 1: you know, an outreach or help young women. Um, and
Speaker 1: I think there's still a lot of work to be
Speaker 1: done in places like you know, Nikaawa where we're from.
Speaker 1: But um, I don't think I could get my husband
Speaker 1: to do it. I don't. I think he's just like,
Speaker 1: you know, New Orleans is as far south as I can.
Speaker 1: Probably he won't even go to Miami with me, Like
Speaker 1: that's just his style. But would you, like you think
Speaker 1: you would ever? Definitely, wherever I end up as an
Speaker 1: older person has to have a warm climate. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of loud noise. I'm a
Speaker 1: very loud person. I love loud music. I talk loud.
Speaker 1: I can't really be contained. Like when I'm in very
Speaker 1: quiet environment, it kind of like throws me off. So
Speaker 1: it's the it's the whole like Dominican, Latina Caribbean thing
Speaker 1: in me. So I can definitely either see myself in
Speaker 1: Miami or back in the island. I can go back
Speaker 1: to the Dominican Republic. You listen a pension from New York.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yes, being bad, ain't bad. Up
Speaker 1: a car over there, some furniture, and you buy your
Speaker 1: apartments like cash, so it's not even like you got mortgages.
Speaker 1: It's like right, there's no upkeep after that. It's like
Speaker 1: I own it. I'll be a surfer girl at like
Speaker 1: sixty five years old. What's the song with Ariana Grande?
Speaker 1: I want it? I got it like at the beginning
Speaker 1: of seven. Yes, yeah, that's exactly. So we were talking
Speaker 1: before about, um, you wanted to talk to me about
Speaker 1: the big story that's in the news right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know this Jesse Smallllette story. I just can't follow it. Girl.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm being completely in totally honest with you. It's
Speaker 1: about to go in front of a grand jury, and
Speaker 1: is this happening. They're saying sometime this week, it most
Speaker 1: likely will happen and he will be indicted if he
Speaker 1: he filed a fake police report. Well, I think that's
Speaker 1: like the key thing here, you know, because by the
Speaker 1: time people listen to this, that grand jury will probably
Speaker 1: have happened, or you know, there's gonna be new details
Speaker 1: or new stories in the news. I think the problematic
Speaker 1: thing with this whole story is whether or not it
Speaker 1: was a fake police report, whether or not he orchestrated
Speaker 1: an attack because he didn't feel like enough was done
Speaker 1: for the threatening letter that he got, so he wanted
Speaker 1: to kind of like up the anti which is just
Speaker 1: one theory. By the dragged to Carolina, this is absolutely
Speaker 1: too much. And I think the problem here is that
Speaker 1: America as a whole was disrupted and came to his defense.
Speaker 1: We're talking the black community, We're talking the gay community.
Speaker 1: He also brought into play the Trump supporters and the
Speaker 1: white community that those were the attackers. So it became
Speaker 1: like a racial thing, it became a homophobic thing, it
Speaker 1: became a lot of different things that you know, just
Speaker 1: doesn't sit right by me, because when these type of
Speaker 1: attacks happen, we want to make sure they're real. They're true,
Speaker 1: We're gonna unfortunately, we're gonna bolt. Let it be real.
Speaker 1: It's very sad because I've met Jesse before several times
Speaker 1: and he is absolutely amazing. He's a kind spirit, he
Speaker 1: has an amazing soul and me personally, but does he
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, I don't know why he
Speaker 1: did this allegedly why Jesse. They're saying it's for attention
Speaker 1: that his character was going to be written office. So
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying. There's so many theories and so
Speaker 1: many stories. And like you mentioned, there's the black the
Speaker 1: black side, the white side, there's the entertainment side. There
Speaker 1: are people from the entertainment industry that came through for him,
Speaker 1: you know, and they've started the leading their post and
Speaker 1: they've started like Nancy Pelosi, she had the lead a tweet.
Speaker 1: She had posted a very nice, you know post, and
Speaker 1: she was like, delete, I'm not standing by this anymore.
Speaker 1: Well you do. I don't think you can, like, as
Speaker 1: a law abiding, honest citizen, I don't think you can.
Speaker 1: You know. Um. The thing for me that I just
Speaker 1: can't wrap my mind around is this is extremely like
Speaker 1: it's almost like diabolical. How do you come up with
Speaker 1: In my mind, I can't think of how to come
Speaker 1: up with a story like that. I can only think
Speaker 1: this is an act of desperation, nothing else. But do
Speaker 1: do you understand like where I'm coming from with that though?
Speaker 1: Because I like said, how does somebody sit back and
Speaker 1: be like, you know what I'm gonna do this? Maybe
Speaker 1: you do, maybe in the privacy of your own home
Speaker 1: you have these like crazy thoughts, but then a follow
Speaker 1: through with it. I think a lot. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of these pople are isolated from the outside world
Speaker 1: and have the small group of people that tell them
Speaker 1: everything is good to go, And maybe the Nigerian Brothers
Speaker 1: are like, yeah, let's do it. We got you. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I'll tell you one thing. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you agree. I personally feel like just the
Speaker 1: Owes the country an apology and an explanation if he
Speaker 1: if he is found guilty and if he lied and
Speaker 1: he went on you know with Robin Robert It's on
Speaker 1: Good Morning America and fabricated this whole entire on the
Speaker 1: Gate Tupac story. Right, he needs to tell us from
Speaker 1: beginning to end the truth. Yeah, I think that's the
Speaker 1: big problem for me too, is that, like, if you
Speaker 1: did something like this, you have to own it. And
Speaker 1: it's not even saying that you're going to be forgiven
Speaker 1: even though a lot of people are forgiven in the
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, Hollywood loves to see a rise from the
Speaker 1: ashes kind of story. Yeah, the comeback story is always
Speaker 1: so great, but you duped a lot of people. You
Speaker 1: touched a nerve, and you touched a nerve. That isn't
Speaker 1: right because you know what, there are so many people
Speaker 1: who have gone who have had these hateful acts committed
Speaker 1: against them and that the police don't even investigate, and
Speaker 1: that we're being honest. And that's the problem that I have,
Speaker 1: Like what about the you know, twenty year old gay
Speaker 1: kid in you know, California making this up? But you
Speaker 1: know those people who have told their stories and nobody
Speaker 1: ever believed them. That's what bothers me more than anything.
Speaker 1: And you use this platform for wrong. He could have
Speaker 1: used it for great and exactly, he's already so divided
Speaker 1: that a story like this just further divides us. And
Speaker 1: then it also takes away our credibility from when we
Speaker 1: feel you know, wrong, discriminated, because Jessie Smillett lied. He
Speaker 1: said they had Maga hats and they said this was
Speaker 1: Maga country. You're probably lying to Now everybody's suspect that's
Speaker 1: like a precedents like like, I don't know, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I agree with I just want to I just want
Speaker 1: to hear the whole full story. I don't know if
Speaker 1: we will ever be given that. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he will have the I mean, I say, if you
Speaker 1: have the balls to tell that story, then have the
Speaker 1: balls to tell the truth, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: That would make a wonderful MafA TV movie, well, lifetime
Speaker 1: ring ring Hello called jesse Smillett story. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: feel like it's not only are we owed the truth,
Speaker 1: but I think it's the it's the right thing to do.
Speaker 1: But you can't force someone to do the right thing.
Speaker 1: You can't. And in my I was thinking about it
Speaker 1: because people were saying, how oh he was. He was
Speaker 1: feeling really threatened because he was going to be written
Speaker 1: off of Empire and this, and maybe you can find
Speaker 1: another job. You are talented, you are good looking, you
Speaker 1: are young, you can find another gig. Like you're gonna
Speaker 1: go through all of this. People love Jesse, I tell
Speaker 1: you as an insider, we love him, We're rooting for him,
Speaker 1: we support everything he did. Never I've never met. He's
Speaker 1: very handsome, he's very proactive in in in the gay community.
Speaker 1: Given there's there was nothing about Jesse that was wrong. Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's my question too. So when he sat down
Speaker 1: with Robin Roberts and he said that he and he
Speaker 1: told the detectives everything that happened because that was his truth.
Speaker 1: And he was so offended that people were questioning his truth.
Speaker 1: And you know, um, I've been in a situation before
Speaker 1: where something happened and it was like not related to me,
Speaker 1: but they were going around the community asking, like when
Speaker 1: I used to live in Florida, if you saw anything
Speaker 1: or you know, and you you're telling the truth. So
Speaker 1: you meet with police and you tell them everything that
Speaker 1: you know, what if somebody else now is afraid to
Speaker 1: go to the police because of somebody like Jesse that's
Speaker 1: that had all of this stuff happen. Now other people
Speaker 1: are going to be reluctant to go and tell their
Speaker 1: stories because then, well, you know what what if they
Speaker 1: started investigating me for other things? Or what if something
Speaker 1: else comes up from when I did something ten years
Speaker 1: ago or as a juvenile, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if my thought process was
Speaker 1: like all there, But what if it triggers like a
Speaker 1: deep dive into your life. Yeah, you'd rather just stay
Speaker 1: of it. Just then people are like, yeah, I'm just
Speaker 1: not gonna say anything. It could be a thing too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It trickle in so many different ways, you know. But
Speaker 1: telling the truth is always like redemption. I don't know,
Speaker 1: as much as it hurts, I'm the type of person
Speaker 1: that I'm like, just tell me the truth, like I will,
Speaker 1: like tears will come down my face begging a person
Speaker 1: for the truth, because once you tell me the truth,
Speaker 1: you're allowing me to decide whether I want to still
Speaker 1: funk with you or if I just want to move
Speaker 1: on with my life. This this stems to like relationships, friendships,
Speaker 1: work relationships. It's like, you tell me the truth and
Speaker 1: then let me decide. I hate when people decide for
Speaker 1: me and keep information from me. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're kind of like the same way. Do you demand
Speaker 1: the truth or you'd rather just be like I'd rather
Speaker 1: not know. No, I'm a liar, I tell you, just
Speaker 1: tell me the truth, you won't be in trouble. And
Speaker 1: then after I'm like, you fucked up. I'm kidding no,
Speaker 1: But like I I agree with you. I need to
Speaker 1: know the truth because then that way I can base
Speaker 1: my decision. And the good thing about me is that
Speaker 1: there are times where I will say, like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm never going to talk to that person again, and
Speaker 1: then my heart gets the better of me, and yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I just think that nothing is absolute in life. Know,
Speaker 1: nothing is you know. I mean, you can make a
Speaker 1: mistake now, and I think it pertains to this story too.
Speaker 1: It's like you can make a mistake now and and
Speaker 1: you can really repent for it, and you can really
Speaker 1: say you're sorry, and you can show people that you're
Speaker 1: sorry for it. And then and then I would be
Speaker 1: I would be willing to forgive. I'm that type of person,
Speaker 1: Like it is easier for me to do that once
Speaker 1: I know you've told me the truth. But you got
Speaker 1: to let it all out. Yeah, if you don't tell
Speaker 1: me the truth, or if I don't feel like you're
Speaker 1: being genuine, I can't move forward. It's just like, y'll
Speaker 1: call me back when you're gonna tell me the truth.
Speaker 1: And you know it. You feel it when somebody's lying,
Speaker 1: You feel it. But I'm kind of like the same
Speaker 1: way too. I've been able to repair relationships and even
Speaker 1: get back with like relationships like Okay, this is the
Speaker 1: truth and just lets some time pass. I think Jesse
Speaker 1: will be okay if you some time go by, and
Speaker 1: if he comes back and tells us the truth. Who
Speaker 1: what group do you think will be more willing to
Speaker 1: accept him? Because I think that and I say group
Speaker 1: only because he has identified himself as gay and he
Speaker 1: has um been a huge part of the l g
Speaker 1: tv Q community and so you know, would it be
Speaker 1: them or would it be African Americans? Like is it
Speaker 1: the entertainment? And who is more willing in your opinion
Speaker 1: to take Jesse back? Um, I think it's gonna go
Speaker 1: this way. I think it's gonna go African American community
Speaker 1: is going to accept him first, because we just all
Speaker 1: make mistakes, and you know, it's just a generalized situation.
Speaker 1: I think the LGBTQ community probably will allow him to
Speaker 1: redeem himself and maybe if he gives back in a
Speaker 1: certain way and kind of like remedies the mistake. And
Speaker 1: I think Hollywood will be last, I think because so
Speaker 1: many stars rallied behind him, and you know, stars, they
Speaker 1: don't just come out and rally behind anything or anyone.
Speaker 1: You know, people were up in arms about Vocal, So
Speaker 1: I think they'll probably be the last ones. Like I
Speaker 1: think for Jesse to work again, it will be a
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit of time, you know what
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in on. I wanted to be
Speaker 1: in on the conversation that Lee Daniels had with Oprah
Speaker 1: about it, because you know, he called her. Of course
Speaker 1: it was like girl, can you even right now? Like
Speaker 1: I swear, you know, they had to have a conversation
Speaker 1: about it as far as what goes, as far as
Speaker 1: like the show gaining so much popularity and him being
Speaker 1: all over the news, know just about the lying, like
Speaker 1: the alleged you know, they don't want to know what
Speaker 1: Mova Oprah said about this, the fabricated story part of it.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm like wondering, what did he say to,
Speaker 1: you know, Oprah? Because Late Daniels is the he's the
Speaker 1: executive producer, right, yeah, yeah, he's the one to share
Speaker 1: the first picture of Jesse when they were FaceTime in
Speaker 1: and he so you know, he has Oprah on the hotline,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I want to know what Cookie gotta say,
Speaker 1: because you know, so Rozzie is very vocal. Did you
Speaker 1: see the meme of her doing the side I, Oh
Speaker 1: my god. The internet is ruthless. They don't make a
Speaker 1: mistake because the internet will get you. Listen, these past
Speaker 1: few days have been entertaining, to say the least. And
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people like, listen, let's not
Speaker 1: pass judgment. Let's wait for the investigation to finish. And
Speaker 1: know what, let's just wait for the investigation to finish.
Speaker 1: But you know, these Nigerian brothers went in there and
Speaker 1: they said, we know him, and he paid us, and
Speaker 1: we bought the bleach and we bought the news and
Speaker 1: then the magazines that the clippings came from to send
Speaker 1: the letter to the network were in their house. And
Speaker 1: these guys are just like spilling the beans. They could
Speaker 1: be lying, who knows, but why would they make such
Speaker 1: a lie? And I heard from like one of my
Speaker 1: close friends that's in um In radio in Chicago that
Speaker 1: they have thirteen investigators assigned to this Jesse Small because
Speaker 1: they want to make sure that they figure out what happened.
Speaker 1: Because the area where he says the attack happened is
Speaker 1: like a very touristy area and they don't want tourists
Speaker 1: to feel like they cannot go there. Then it's going
Speaker 1: to affect the money, and you know, the cities don't
Speaker 1: want that. My cousin actually lives in the same building, yes,
Speaker 1: and said that he would run into him in the
Speaker 1: elevator like when this whole thing happened, because he was like,
Speaker 1: can you believe it? And I was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I was like, this is a terrible story. He was like,
Speaker 1: he lives in my building, and I said what he goes,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I would like run into him in the elevator.
Speaker 1: Super nice guy, like never really hung out with him,
Speaker 1: but just with you know, exchange the nice cities or whatever. So, yes,
Speaker 1: it is in a very you know, up and coming,
Speaker 1: affluent area, and they're like, we don't want anybody thinking
Speaker 1: that this isn't a safe place. We don't. We definitely
Speaker 1: don't want to. Like that's that's gonna be fixed. You
Speaker 1: just watch and that's definitely gonna be fixed. Speaking of
Speaker 1: like seeing stars, like this morning this morning, I was
Speaker 1: like on the on the train and um, I just
Speaker 1: sit right next to this guy and I do a
Speaker 1: double take, and it's like the Cosby star, the one
Speaker 1: that was like exposed to like working at Jeffrey. So
Speaker 1: I rode in with him the whole time and I
Speaker 1: talked to him. Then I was like, he already got
Speaker 1: made feel like super awkward for working at Trade to
Speaker 1: Jim No I heard, he's like the nicest guy. You
Speaker 1: should have said. It was sitting in front of me
Speaker 1: doing a cross. We're puzzled the whole time. Everybody like,
Speaker 1: guess who's sitting right next to me? That is amazing, amazing.
Speaker 1: New York is so amazing. It's just you just never know.
Speaker 1: It's like a small town. We when my husband and
Speaker 1: I used to watch Seinfeld and they would like run
Speaker 1: into people on the street and like, that's ridiculous. It's
Speaker 1: a New York city. You never And then after I
Speaker 1: lived here, I was like, oh my gosh, like you
Speaker 1: do run into people, like literally in your neighborhood. The
Speaker 1: other day I saw up Mr Bigs from like Sex
Speaker 1: in the City. Oh, he's so handsome by by the
Speaker 1: theater district. Yeah, he smiled and waved back, but it's
Speaker 1: so crazy. The other day I saw Colin Kapernik walking by,
Speaker 1: like his afro was just blowing into Really I sat.
Speaker 1: I saw David Muir from like ABC News tonight crossing
Speaker 1: the street. I was like, you're the man everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's crazy because it's like we're just one big community.
Speaker 1: Before I worked here, I saw Elvis like walking his
Speaker 1: dog and I was like, oh my god, yeah, so crazy.
Speaker 1: It's like we're all over But oh honey, now he
Speaker 1: has people to do that. Please don't ever tell anybody
Speaker 1: exactly he would be like, oh honey, that was the
Speaker 1: day that dog walker didn't come. Um no. But I
Speaker 1: was also thinking about it because you know, this whole
Speaker 1: situation is taking place in Chicago. You know R Kelly
Speaker 1: right now is like, thank you, get to the tension
Speaker 1: off me. Go ahead, get them thirteen investigators over on
Speaker 1: that other side, because I don't need anybody paying attention
Speaker 1: to my ass right now. He's also in trouble. He is,
Speaker 1: you know, a new video Surface disturbed. It's so disturbing
Speaker 1: the things going on in the news. Oh and by
Speaker 1: the way, have you seen this like kidnapped and abducted
Speaker 1: and Plain Sights show? Did you watch it? I will
Speaker 1: not I refuse to watch it. I don't need those
Speaker 1: things in my head. Is it really good? Should I watch?
Speaker 1: It's amazing, but it will blow your mind, like at
Speaker 1: how stupid and idiotic some parents can be. Yeah, somebody
Speaker 1: said that they were naive, the parents, because I was
Speaker 1: just reading in the comments and that's what somebody said.
Speaker 1: Somebody goes, no naive is somebody who doesn't know these
Speaker 1: people were? They were stupid? You know these people were.
Speaker 1: So it's like the whole thing about one family. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna throw you off. She's gonna like kind of
Speaker 1: like open your eyes and be like, wow, I don't
Speaker 1: need to let any strangers. Is this Netflix? Netflix? But
Speaker 1: it's like one family, one family, one man, and how
Speaker 1: this one man like infiltrated their home, made the father
Speaker 1: have a homosexual relationship he douce the mom took their
Speaker 1: thirteen year old daughter and made her like his wife.
Speaker 1: What where is this happening in America? Like where is
Speaker 1: this going down? Listen? It was I was just like,
Speaker 1: this family is crazy. Yeah they're not. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: well they're the only reason why it even caught my
Speaker 1: attention was I saw a meme that was like the
Speaker 1: guy said that he needed two relieve too. He needed relief,
Speaker 1: and people were like posting pictures of like Thailand, all,
Speaker 1: if you need some relief, here's some taile at all.
Speaker 1: You don't like, go and jerk someone off, like I
Speaker 1: guess that's what happened. I don't know. That's what he did.
Speaker 1: He told the neighbor, I need some relief, and then
Speaker 1: they started like, what do you mean you need I
Speaker 1: wish my My female neighbor told me she need relief.
Speaker 1: That is crazy. Okay, so now I know what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch on the plane. If I you're gonna be
Speaker 1: so thrown off. I watched also the fire festival. Oh
Speaker 1: that is so good. It's so bad. It's good. But
Speaker 1: you know what, now you think about the influence and
Speaker 1: just you know, I know we're like kind of you know,
Speaker 1: all over the place, but you just think about how
Speaker 1: easily influenced we are by social media, yes, and how
Speaker 1: strategic those people were in getting the top ten models
Speaker 1: because they knew eyes would be And that's the reason
Speaker 1: why seeing this unfolded. I remember the orange blogs, I said,
Speaker 1: I said to my husband when we were watching it.
Speaker 1: I was like, I remember seeing that and be like, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: what are they doing in the Bahamas? My broke as
Speaker 1: could and joined them, but I was wanting to go.
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, what's happening Chanel? And man, why
Speaker 1: did she yes a little? What's her name? Kendall Jenner was?
Speaker 1: It was Kendall and Hailey Baldwin and the girls. That's
Speaker 1: why you don't tell you something, And this made it
Speaker 1: sounds so fucked up, but I was laughing at these
Speaker 1: rich kids. That's what the that's what you get. That's
Speaker 1: what you get these tents from like a hurricane. Sleep
Speaker 1: your ass right there? How messed up? Was it that
Speaker 1: they didn't want people next to them so they went
Speaker 1: and started slashing the like again something I would that
Speaker 1: would never enter my mind, Like I would never think, Wow,
Speaker 1: I don't want neighbors. I'm going to go and slash
Speaker 1: their tents so that nobody would, Like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: and piss on their mattress so nobody will come. And
Speaker 1: that's like some craziness. I'm not even kidding you, I
Speaker 1: said him. I actually looked to Mark after this was
Speaker 1: and I was like, how do we make sure our
Speaker 1: kids don't end up like that? Thank you? Like what
Speaker 1: do we need to do to make sure that we
Speaker 1: don't raise little a holes? This is what I get.
Speaker 1: This is what I get. I swear I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: shaperoning these kids until they're twenty three. Don't even make
Speaker 1: me because I will do it right now. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be the mom on the JumboTron embarrassing her kids.
Speaker 1: That will be me when they're twelve and thirteen. That
Speaker 1: just count on it. Festival people were just they were
Speaker 1: not And you know, Jabul says that he's going to
Speaker 1: do a festival now he's going to make it up
Speaker 1: to everyone. Okay, it better be free because I'm not
Speaker 1: paying a pen. You won't get my money, not a chance. No,
Speaker 1: And I mean j'all rule, not for anything. I mean again,
Speaker 1: I've never interacted with him. I've never interviewed him. Was
Speaker 1: just to make my name, I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've ever interviewed him. Yeah, you gotta look at
Speaker 1: him as like, at what point of his career was
Speaker 1: he doing this? Because if he was at the height
Speaker 1: he wasn't he wouldn't be doing it. He needed money.
Speaker 1: Has not been at the height of his career like
Speaker 1: these only two yeah, so he was. He needed the money.
Speaker 1: When you're desperate, you know what they say, people are
Speaker 1: strange for a little bit of change. So told me
Speaker 1: guard your money. People make smart decisions. Get a financial planner.
