So here we go, 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: Cheeky sin Philtro. Okay, So first off, I want to 15 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: say it is not a reality show. It is a 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: doc You follow a docu series. Now, what is the difference, 17 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: you may ask yourself, because a lot of people are 18 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: saying it's a reality show. As you may know some 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: of you, a lot of you, or maybe you don't know. 20 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: To one of my new listeners, I had a reality show. Actually, 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: I've been on a few reality shows. I started it 22 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: off back in two thousand and nine with the reality 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: show called Cheek's and Rock Scene, and then we went 24 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: into a family reality show. Anyways, the point is we 25 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: did ten years of reality and then a lot of 26 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: stuff happened, which you guys can check out the episode 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: because I talked about it in detail. I have an 28 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: episode on it here on Cheeky's and Chill podcast. And anyways, 29 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: I was very hesitant about starting this new venture because 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: I did not want it to be like a reality show. 31 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: When they told me it was more of a doc 32 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: you follow, I was like, Okay, this is perfect, So 33 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: what's the difference in reality? Yes, it was the reality 34 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: of our life, but there were a lot of made 35 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: up scenarios or reenacting. A lot of reenacting. They would 36 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: put us in situations. It'd be like, okay, I'm gonna 37 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: put you guys in Hawaii, and yes we would be ourselves. 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: But it wasn't like we had a plan to go 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: to Hawaii. They took us to Hawaii, if that makes 40 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: sense with a doc you follow. The differences that one 41 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: of them is that I get to talk to the camera. 42 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: I am inviting you guys I'm talking to the camera. 43 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: I don't ignore it. It's not like the cameras aren't there. 44 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: I speak to the cameras, I look at the camera. 45 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: And also the cameras are following my day to day, 46 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: like if I am just sitting at home all day, 47 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: they will be there until something happens. If I get 48 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: a phone call, of course, they have my agenda. So 49 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna be doing this. Okay, the 50 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: cameras can be here. Sometimes the cameras weren't there. A 51 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: lot of the times they were, and I wanted it 52 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: to be in Spanish because all of my reality shows 53 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: before we're in English. Every time I've been on television, 54 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: it's been English, So I thought, I want to make 55 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: this very different and make it a point that it's 56 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: very different. So we did Spanish. And also because my 57 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: plan for twenty twenty four was that I really wanted 58 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: to go into Mexico, which is why we chose Vix, 59 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: because Vix is a very important app in Mexico and Colombia, 60 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: and those are places that I want people to get 61 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: to know me as Cheeky's as the artist, the woman 62 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: behind the music. So I told myself Kio Conquista Mexico. 63 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: I want to conquer Mexico. I want to enter their 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: hearts because I feel like they don't really know me, 65 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: They're barely getting to know me. And I have a 66 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: very important show at the end of the year November third, 67 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: Alito na Snad, which is a very important place and 68 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: stage in Mexico, and all of this kind of just 69 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't planned. It just happened, and I feel like 70 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: God has been aligning everything for me and it was 71 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: something that came up. I'm also an executive producer, so 72 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: it is the first show under my production company called 73 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: Busy Be Productions, and this is our first project. So 74 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: I also thought in that way for people to trust 75 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: me and trust this Busy Bee Productions, right, I also 76 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: wanted to start this new venture in my life as 77 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: a producer with something that I'm in to gain trust, 78 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: to show what this production company is going to be 79 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: all about out and I am completely raw. For those 80 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: of you that may not know what Sinhiedro is, it's 81 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: just basically no filter. Cheeky is no filter, and that's 82 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: what it is. I feel like I've never shown this 83 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: side of me again with reality TV, we were put 84 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: in certain situations and you kind of had time to prepare, 85 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: I guess, and with the doc you follow. I swear 86 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: you guys. Sometimes I was like, oh my gosh, the 87 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: cameras are here. Well, fuck it, whatever, this is really happening. 88 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: I'm getting a phone call, I'm seeing a text message, 89 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm watching an interview for the first time, and you 90 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: guys get my absolute, natural, very organic, authentic reaction. A 91 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: lot of people say, I've never seen you. Magicis You're 92 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: always in a good mood. You're always positive most of 93 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: the time. I am. I can probably say ninety three 94 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: percent of the time. I'm very happy. I am one 95 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: of those unknowing people that it's just like my brother 96 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: always tells me, Mikey, it's like, you're just always so 97 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: damn positive, Like yeah, because I choose to be. Because 98 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: it's all about how we choose to look at things 99 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: and how we react to certain things. So anyways, you 100 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: will see me upset on chikisinfildrom and I'm completely showing 101 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: my life the way it is without a filter, especially 102 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: in a world that everything is a filter. And I 103 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: don't mean like an actual filter, like the kind that 104 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: we all use on stories and you know, I use 105 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: them too. I'm talking about like everyone wants to paint 106 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: this beautiful picture on Instagram and only show the beautiful 107 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: sides of everything, and this is a way of kind 108 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: of just reminding people like there is power and being vulnerable, 109 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: and we've talked about it a lot here on the podcast, 110 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: and that's something that I'm super passionate about, and that's 111 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: why I wanted to kind of remind people of who 112 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: I really am. Or maybe the people that are gonna 113 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: meet me for the first time, especially in Mexico, they've 114 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: probably heard so many different stories about me and have 115 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: this negative perspective of who I am because of maybe 116 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: the family that I come from, the stories that they've heard. 117 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: Now they get to see who I really am, and 118 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: if they're going to like me, I want people to 119 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: like me for who I am, not what they think, 120 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: not what they might see on Instagram. I feel like 121 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: I try to share and I'm very you know, transparent 122 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: on my social media, but there's only so much that 123 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: we can show there, you know, And that's why I 124 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: wanted to just show every side of myself, of my life, 125 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: my relationship, me as a sister, yes, as an artist. 126 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: It's an important part because I also want people to 127 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: start respecting me for the music, for my profession. And 128 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: that's another thing. With my relationship, I've kept it pretty private. 129 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: I don't show as much as I have with past relationships. 130 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: So I think this is a way of you guys 131 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: seeing a different side or a side that I haven't 132 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: shown in a long time, you know. But again going 133 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: back to that whole thing of just like the world, 134 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: just living in a filter and living in this fantasy 135 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: world and just trying to show that everything is perfect 136 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: and sometimes even and pretending to be something that they're not, 137 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: showing off things that aren't really theirs. And I've seen 138 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: it a lot. So anyways, that's why I wanted to 139 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: call it Chiky Sin Pinro because I'm like, here, there's 140 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: no filter. I can't put a cute little filter on 141 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: my face, Like you're gonna see me without makeup. You're 142 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: gonna see my hair just freaking crazy. I had gotten 143 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: like a little treatment on my face as well, so 144 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: you guys are going to see that. Like just everything 145 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: that I was going through in those like almost nine 146 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: months of filming we started filming last year, and a 147 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: lot of things happen in the beginning of the year. 148 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: The first six months of this year were chaotic, you guys, 149 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: and definitely gonna show you all of that, even things 150 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: that you didn't see or I didn't share on Instagram. 151 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: Maybe I shared it on the podcast, but not even 152 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: in detail. And now you're gonna be able to see it. 153 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: And a lot of the things that you guys are 154 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: gonna see on Chiky Sinfilterro. I've kind of mentioned a 155 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: lot of these things in my books, but a lot 156 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: of people don't like to read. So this is a 157 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: way of giving a visual to my books, to the 158 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: story of my life because again I also take you 159 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: guys on a trip to my past and show you 160 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: guys where I come from, and take you to the 161 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: homes that I was raised in the cities, and I 162 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: talk about beautiful memories and things that have now changed 163 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: and now are very different, and ugh, it's just a lot. 164 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean now that I think about it and I 165 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: see the episodes, because in the moment when it was happening, 166 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: I was kind of like, I know what I'm getting 167 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: myself into, I know what I want to do. I'm 168 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: an executive producer, fit like it is what it is. 169 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: But then when they started editing the episodes and I 170 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: was approving them as a talent as Cheeky's, I was like, dude, 171 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if we should say this. This is 172 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: kind of crazy. But then my executive side, my executive 173 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 1: producer side, was like, okay, well it is what it is. 174 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: Let's do it. And the executive producer always won. I 175 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: really did enjoy being an executive producer. I think because 176 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: I have trusted so many people blindly and in a 177 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: way very like gullible and naive in my younger years. 178 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: I really liked having that creative control. And not because 179 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying to hide anything or because it's easy to 180 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: just edit and remove things, because that's not the case. 181 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: But I did not really take anything out. There was 182 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: just like one little thing that I was like, okay, 183 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: that sounds a little too harsh, but I left most 184 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: of it in. I just took a little itsy bitsy part. 185 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: I was like, you know, take that little part out 186 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: because it's not entirely true. I was just upset, but 187 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: leave the rest because it is pretty honest and harsh, 188 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: and some people might get a little upset or not. 189 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 1: Some one particular person won't get very hurt, but those 190 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: are consequences to their actions in the moment I meant it. 191 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: But then watching it back, I was like, oh my god, 192 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: that's that. I'm not trying to hurt that person's feelings 193 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: because I was upset whatever, So I just a little 194 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: itsy bitsy little part. Other than that, I left all 195 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: of it in and there's so much footage, you guys, 196 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: I could probably make like, I don't know, twenty episodes 197 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: at least, But it just felt good to know that 198 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: if I wanted to talk more or share more or 199 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, I could do that. So that's what 200 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: I liked that finally, after so many years of give 201 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: and giving giving my truth being transparent, it can't be 202 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: manipulated for it to benefit someone else. Now it's how 203 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: I want it, how I want to express it, and 204 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: I have creative control and that felt really nice. And 205 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: if there's anything that I can change, wow, it would 206 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: be that the cameras could be with me a little 207 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: bit more, just because there's so much happening, and but 208 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would change anything, to be honest, like, 209 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy with the results with everything that I'm 210 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: talking about does it make me a little nervous, Yes, 211 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: because because I talk about some pretty deep things. And again, 212 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to disturb disrupt anyone's life, but this 213 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: is my truth and these are things that really happen 214 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: in my life, and I feel like I have the 215 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: right to express my feelings and my truth. So I 216 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: think I'm just nervous that I don't want to hurt people. 217 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: That's not like what my intention at all. Ever, And 218 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: now that I'm grown up and more mature and I've 219 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: lost the fear of what people will think and if 220 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: people are gonna like me or not, like it gives 221 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: you this different type of power of like, this is 222 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: who I am, take it or leave it. And that's 223 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at. And that's why i did 224 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: Cheeky sein Finkittal because I'm like, I'm letting it all 225 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: hang out and this is me. We started filming last 226 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty three, around September, and then a little 227 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: more in November, and then we took a little break, 228 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: and then we started up again in January of this year, 229 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. And at first, I think maybe like 230 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: the first week or so, it was a little different. 231 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't really like a lot of people in my home, 232 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: so that was like, I'm like, oh, just like that. 233 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: Anal side of me was like, oh my gosh, my 234 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: floors like started thinking all this stuff. But then it 235 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: just went away and I was like, Okay, you guys here, 236 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: put on some little like shoe covers, and I was fine. 237 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: And then the guys, the camera guys there. I've known 238 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: them for a long time as well. I've worked with 239 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: them in the past, and I felt very comfortable. And again, 240 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: they weren't putting me in a situation like it wasn't 241 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: like say this or starting drama. It was just everything 242 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 1: that was happening. So that gave me a lot of 243 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: mental peace and just helped me relax a bit more. Yeah, 244 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: it's completely different from what I've done in the past, 245 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: especially in that area. And again, it was like I 246 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: knew when the cameras were going to be there and 247 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: what we were going to be doing because they're following 248 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: my agenda, Like what it is that I'm like actually doing, 249 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: you know. And guys, the comments that I've been receiving 250 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: have been so good. A lot of people have said, 251 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: oh my god, Chiki's I missed you on television. I 252 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: can see that you're a lot more mature, and I 253 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: do feel mature, and I feel ready, and I always 254 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: feel you know, people say, you know I was born 255 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: for this. I feel like I was born for this. 256 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: You know, I was born ready. But then a lot 257 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: of stuff happened in my life that made me even 258 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: more ready, more ready than I ever thought i'd be. 259 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: So when this opportunity came up and we were talking 260 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: about it at a round table in my office, I said, 261 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: you know what, there's nothing or anyone that I'm scared of. 262 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: I know my truth, I know who I am. I'm 263 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: not worried about what anyone else is going to think. 264 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make anyone look bad. If they 265 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: made themselves look bad and I'm talking about it and 266 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm expressing my feelings about how I feel about it, 267 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: then that's another story. But am I intentionally trying to 268 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: make anyone look bad? Absolutely not. It's just not even 269 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: in my character. So the comments that I'd been receiving, 270 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: now people have watched four episodes, because every Friday, two 271 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: new episodes come out, So now there's four, and now 272 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: it's like now it's getting good. I was like, oh 273 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: my god, people were watching the first. In the second episode, 274 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: they're like, oh my god, I can't wait for the 275 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: third and the fourth. I'm like, Okay, once you get 276 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: to the fourth, that's when stuff starts getting real deep. 277 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: I feel like that's when it starts, you know. So 278 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: I was really excited to see that people were living 279 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: the first. In the second episode, when it launched, I 280 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: was in Miami doing promo. I did have this plan 281 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, I'm gonna get all my 282 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: friends and my siblings and we're gonna like, of course, 283 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: Emilio and watch it. But I was in Miami doing promo, 284 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: and when it came out, I was asleep, to be honest, 285 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: Like it was three in the morning in Miami and 286 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: it premiered on vis at twelve am on the sixteenth, 287 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: I believe if it was of August and I was 288 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: in Miami, so I had to watch it on my 289 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: phone on the ViXS app and alone in bed. But 290 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: that was fine too because I had already watched the 291 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: first In the second episode, I watched them all. It's 292 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: just so different watching it, like not on a link 293 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: and more on like the actual app or on television. 294 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: But my friends have loved it. I've received a lot 295 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: of great messages and soon enough, you guys will be 296 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: able to binge. I'm more of like a binge watcher, 297 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: but I know Vix wanted to kind of like build 298 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: the anticipation and it's been working because there's a lot 299 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: of cliffhangers. So that's why we decided to go ahead 300 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: and do two new episodes every Friday. So there's a 301 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: total of ten episodes guys, and there are conversations of 302 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: having a second heart. I'm still not entirely sure yet. 303 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: I'm just taking it day by day. I don't want 304 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: to make an impulsive decision. I want to wait a 305 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: little bit before making that decision. A final decision, should 306 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: I say, you guys will seem Emilio, my partner, my husband, 307 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: my team, my friends, my real friends. A couple of 308 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: them couldn't come out, but like the main core of 309 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: my friends were in there, my siblings as well. In 310 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: a lot of interviews, people asked me like, was it 311 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: difficult to get them on board? And I think in 312 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: the beginning, some of my friends, because they express themselves 313 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: better in English and Emilio does too, were kind of 314 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: hesitant because of that. But then when I told them, 315 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, you can speak English because ninety five 316 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: percent of it is Spanish. That five percent, or I'm 317 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: having conversations with Emilio or some of my friends, or 318 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: something's come out in English. Like I wanted to feel 319 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: that freedom of just being myself and also the people 320 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: in my life. I didn't want them to pretend. So 321 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, if you have to say something in English, 322 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: Johnny or my brother Mikey Jenica, because they're a little 323 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: bit like more hesitant to speak in Spanish. I gave 324 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: them the green light. And that's what I wanted more 325 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: than anything, you know. So I also wanted to be 326 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: organic with myself. I speak a lot of Spanish at 327 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: work and interviews and stuff, so I wasn't very worried 328 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: about it, but I did want to have that liberty 329 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: of if I can't say a certain word in Spanish, 330 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and say it in English. 331 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: So that's what you guys will see, and all my 332 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: conversations with the media, because we don't speak to each 333 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: other on a daily basis in Spanish, we're in English. 334 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: And that's why after he was like, okay, cool, because 335 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: he's not like a person that likes to be in 336 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: front of a camera. He's a photographer. He likes the' 337 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: a videographer, so he's always behind the camera and he 338 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: prefers it that way, which is something I love. So 339 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: I like that. When I told him, he's like, oh, dude, 340 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: I don't know, like are you sure? But and I 341 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: like that because to me, it's like, Okay, he's not 342 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: trying to like, you know, I've just had past relationships 343 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: that were all for it, and I'm like, oh, and 344 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: it was created. I created a monster. So I kind 345 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: of like that.
