Speaker 1: The Princess of South Beach is available in English and
Speaker 1: in Spanish. This is the English episode Espanol Regresfidol, I
Speaker 1: Heart Radio's My Cultura Network and Sonoro present Princess of
Speaker 1: South Beach. Oh leap alone. I don't want to talk
Speaker 1: to you tomorrow. When TMC and all all the other
Speaker 1: trashy magazines talk about what happened, they'll all say the
Speaker 1: same thing that, just one month before her wedding, Miami
Speaker 1: socialite Gloria Calderon dramatically ran down the pier, jumped into
Speaker 1: her brand new speedboat, and crashed into an unfortunately placed
Speaker 1: sea boulder, Yes a sea boulder. Anyway, they'll say that
Speaker 1: she miraculously survived without a scratch on her body. But
Speaker 1: they'll all be wrong. The magazine's Gloria's boyfriend, her own mother,
Speaker 1: because even though everyone saw Gloria swim to shore that night,
Speaker 1: Gloria is dead. How do I know? Because I am Gloria. Duh.
Speaker 1: But I'm getting ahead of myself. Started with the accident
Speaker 1: instead of the beginning. As you've noticed, I have a
Speaker 1: flair for the dramatic. It's kind of my thing. So
Speaker 1: this story actually begins with an orphan girl named Maria
Speaker 1: del Carmen. What the cliche? This is a novella. Of
Speaker 1: course there's going to be a poor, innocent orphan raised
Speaker 1: in a convent Helloa. See her Mana Claudia. I'm here,
Speaker 1: Mariam ha stopped cleaning. You're going to miss your buzz.
Speaker 1: I'll help you with your bags. But in Mana Claudia,
Speaker 1: according to the tour board, it's my day to do
Speaker 1: the floors. Let her Mana Susanna do that. That woman
Speaker 1: hasn't lifted a finger since ninety six. No, Nona Susanna, Maria,
Speaker 1: are you sure you want to leave? It's not too
Speaker 1: late to change your mind. We could always use another
Speaker 1: nun here at the convent of Yes, we've been through
Speaker 1: this like a million times. I don't want to become
Speaker 1: a nun. I want to be a normal person. Not
Speaker 1: that nuns aren't normal people, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I just want to like pay taxes and complain about
Speaker 1: traffic and oh to try a sinnabon. But obviously I'm
Speaker 1: super grateful that you, you know, raised me and fed me,
Speaker 1: saved my life, you know me. Please, there's no need
Speaker 1: to thank me. I loved raising you. As my own,
Speaker 1: all of it, even the dirty diapers. Well maybe not
Speaker 1: the diapers so much, but everything else. Oh, I can't
Speaker 1: feel it. It's been twenty two years. But you know
Speaker 1: what they say, time flies when you're serving the Lord.
Speaker 1: I have never heard that one before. It's a non thing.
Speaker 1: Just promise me that you won't forget who you are. Oh,
Speaker 1: and promise that you won't listen to I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: it's satanic. I'm badon is what makes it so catchy?
Speaker 1: Before I leave? Are you one hundred percent certain that
Speaker 1: you don't know anything about my parents? I'm a mood.
Speaker 1: If I knew anything, i'd tell you. But as you know,
Speaker 1: you arrived on our doorstep like Moses in a basket
Speaker 1: with nothing. Oh please, not the Moses story again. You
Speaker 1: literally arrived in a woven basket, and we gave you everything,
Speaker 1: even your name. Maria after the Mother of God and Carmen,
Speaker 1: after that famous explorer Carmen san Diego. I love that show.
Speaker 1: Here is the address for the job I found via.
Speaker 1: Remember we're not far away. Caio step India, Maria, I
Speaker 1: love you, and Manna Claudia Elios. There's my tickets. Anyone
Speaker 1: did not forget it? Can you can you let me
Speaker 1: know when we've arrived at South Beach? Oh? Great, another
Speaker 1: innocent angeneue on the way to the big sitting. As
Speaker 1: if I didn't have enough to do. Ocean drive, South Beach,
Speaker 1: South Beach, Miami, Zies. Do you know where I can
Speaker 1: find this address? Well? I don't know. Do I look
Speaker 1: like a wise owl? Hold Google Maps? Do you think
Speaker 1: I can help guide you? Whether it's walking, driving, or bike?
Speaker 1: Come on, get off. Wow, I've never felt sand before.
Speaker 1: I don't even think i've ever seen the ocean. That
Speaker 1: man is not wearing any pants. Oh my god, this
Speaker 1: place is amazing. How a shandelier? I thought those were
Speaker 1: only in cartoons. Hello, Hello, good morning, miss Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Palace Country Club. Are you a new member? No? Um,
Speaker 1: my name is Maria LEL Carwin. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm at the right address, but today is my first
Speaker 1: day of work. Oh you're the girl from the convent.
Speaker 1: You're three minutes. I'm sorry, it's just I don't want
Speaker 1: to listen to your excuses Muchacha. As I said to
Speaker 1: my sister ermana cloudy wait hermana clia as your sister. No,
Speaker 1: but she's a childhood friend. So I call her sister,
Speaker 1: Ermana Claudy. That's redundant. You're redundant, oh, as I said
Speaker 1: to my sis to Ermana Claudia, I got your job
Speaker 1: as a lifeguard. Lifeguard. Oh, I thought I was only
Speaker 1: going to serve coffees or bus tables. But wow, okay,
Speaker 1: I knew those swimming lessons would have eventually pay off.
Speaker 1: Why don't they weren't lessons? Per se? Nasana would throw
Speaker 1: a milky way into the pool and the orphans had
Speaker 1: a race to get it, and we lost a lot
Speaker 1: of good kids. Need your tragic life story, me, Hi Foward.
Speaker 1: You can leave your stuff in the locker room around
Speaker 1: the back. My name is Ector, but you can call
Speaker 1: me Ector Enrique Wild. You'll report to me. Here's your uniform.
Speaker 1: Please get changed and I'll show you your station. This
Speaker 1: is my uniform. Oh my goodness, I'll be practically naked. Look, kid,
Speaker 1: you're not the convent anymore. I don't know if you noticed,
Speaker 1: but there are thousands of girls on the beach sun
Speaker 1: tanning their butt cracks. I keeping sails data SCA. So
Speaker 1: either put on the uniform or throw in a habit
Speaker 1: and head back. Well, can I at least cover myself
Speaker 1: with like a sweater or something. It is a hundred
Speaker 1: degrees and more humid than a fart in leather pants.
Speaker 1: But it's a free country, so don't come crying to
Speaker 1: me when you get a heat stroke. Now hurry them.
Speaker 1: And that's where everything really began for our innocent and
Speaker 1: sweet and annoyingly naive Maria del Garman. She thought it
Speaker 1: was the beginning of her normal life. Maybe she would
Speaker 1: meet a moderately handsome boy and they'd fall in love,
Speaker 1: and then they'd break up, and she'd find another one,
Speaker 1: and then they'd break up and she'd gain ten pounds.
Speaker 1: The point is she wanted a normal life, but after
Speaker 1: what she saw that night at the beach, a normal
Speaker 1: life would be impossible. Of course, Miss Kennedy, I will
Speaker 1: change that tennis reservation right away. Okay, goodbye, Jesus, no'm girl,
Speaker 1: you look terrible. My ya, Get five chas, Get gluts meal.
Speaker 1: It was the longest day ever. I'm so thirsty. Can
Speaker 1: I grab a water bottle? Um dose spottles are imported
Speaker 1: aqua from Fiji and they are for the Yes, just
Speaker 1: take it out of your Paycheck'll be here tomorrow. At
Speaker 1: six am. You got it, not six? So three? Not okay? Okay,
Speaker 1: say yeah, they'll say so jo No six a m
Speaker 1: sector ector enu Yes see you tomorrow. God he's hot. Hey,
Speaker 1: hey guys, the beach is closed. Please get out of
Speaker 1: the wall water. You can't be out here. Beach is closed. Seriously,
Speaker 1: get out of here or I'm gonna have to call security.
Speaker 1: The beach is closed. I've got you. Oh, look at her.
Speaker 1: She's been a lifeguard for only five hours and she's
Speaker 1: already trying to rescue me. Remember the boat crash from
Speaker 1: the beginning with the unfortunately placed sea boulder. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: literally happening now and there among the crashing waves, Maria
Speaker 1: that garment tried to pull me, Gloria Calderone, to safety.
Speaker 1: But when she looked at my lifeless body, she saw
Speaker 1: a familiar face. Her face, my face, the face of
Speaker 1: her twin sister. No, no, no, what is this? I
Speaker 1: can't be It was like looking in a mirror. Well
Speaker 1: sort of, I'm like the cute twin. But anyway, this
Speaker 1: is the part where I die. I couldn't save her.
Speaker 1: Please please forgive me. No, no, I'm not Gloria. Is
Speaker 1: it true you have not here with Steve. What I
Speaker 1: am not Claudia? Thank god? Where were you thinking, my love?
Speaker 1: I thought you were dead? Who are you? Who's Clodia?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're in shock. Guys, seriously give her
Speaker 1: some space. Come, my love. Okay, the car is right here. No,
Speaker 1: I don't know you, and I have to save her.
Speaker 1: I have to. I have to sing. I got you,
Speaker 1: I got you. Get out of the way. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: she's so cool. Why's so cool? And that's how poor
Speaker 1: innocent Maria del Garmin became me Gloria Calderon. Oh see,
Speaker 1: I am Gloria, but she is now also Gloria because
Speaker 1: everyone thinks she's me. But I am not Maria del Garment.
Speaker 1: Even though I looked like it sounds more complicated than
Speaker 1: it actually is, and even though me dying is a
Speaker 1: total bummer. Without that accident, Maria del Garman would have
Speaker 1: never found out who her real parents were, not to
Speaker 1: mention all the juicy secrets that Calderon family was hiding.
Speaker 1: But I'm getting ahead of myself again. I told you dramatic,
Speaker 1: but I do know one thing for sure. I'm not
Speaker 1: the only one who dies in this story. Sorry, that
Speaker 1: was dramatic again. If you're enjoying Princess of South Beach,
