Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back to your favorite podcast, Cheeky's and Chill.
Speaker 1: I'm your host Cheeky's and I hope you all are
Speaker 1: enjoying the last Monday of the month. Today has been
Speaker 1: kind of a long day for me, but I'm happy
Speaker 1: to be ending my day with you guys. As some
Speaker 1: of you might know, I'm back on TV. My show
Speaker 1: Cheeky Snekiritro is now streaming on bigs You guys. It's
Speaker 1: a behind the scenes look into my life and feature
Speaker 1: some of the most important people in my life as well,
Speaker 1: and I'm also taking you on a trip to my past.
Speaker 1: So today I want to talk about all of that
Speaker 1: and what it's like being back on TV and why
Speaker 1: I decided to film it in Spanish. So here we go,
Speaker 1: Cheeky sin Philtro. Okay, So first off, I want to
Speaker 1: say it is not a reality show. It is a
Speaker 1: doc You follow a docu series. Now, what is the difference,
Speaker 1: you may ask yourself, because a lot of people are
Speaker 1: saying it's a reality show. As you may know some
Speaker 1: of you, a lot of you, or maybe you don't know.
Speaker 1: To one of my new listeners, I had a reality show. Actually,
Speaker 1: I've been on a few reality shows. I started it
Speaker 1: off back in two thousand and nine with the reality
Speaker 1: show called Cheek's and Rock Scene, and then we went
Speaker 1: into a family reality show. Anyways, the point is we
Speaker 1: did ten years of reality and then a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff happened, which you guys can check out the episode
Speaker 1: because I talked about it in detail. I have an
Speaker 1: episode on it here on Cheeky's and Chill podcast. And anyways,
Speaker 1: I was very hesitant about starting this new venture because
Speaker 1: I did not want it to be like a reality show.
Speaker 1: When they told me it was more of a doc
Speaker 1: you follow, I was like, Okay, this is perfect, So
Speaker 1: what's the difference in reality? Yes, it was the reality
Speaker 1: of our life, but there were a lot of made
Speaker 1: up scenarios or reenacting. A lot of reenacting. They would
Speaker 1: put us in situations. It'd be like, okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put you guys in Hawaii, and yes we would be ourselves.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like we had a plan to go
Speaker 1: to Hawaii. They took us to Hawaii, if that makes
Speaker 1: sense with a doc you follow. The differences that one
Speaker 1: of them is that I get to talk to the camera.
Speaker 1: I am inviting you guys I'm talking to the camera.
Speaker 1: I don't ignore it. It's not like the cameras aren't there.
Speaker 1: I speak to the cameras, I look at the camera.
Speaker 1: And also the cameras are following my day to day,
Speaker 1: like if I am just sitting at home all day,
Speaker 1: they will be there until something happens. If I get
Speaker 1: a phone call, of course, they have my agenda. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna be doing this. Okay, the
Speaker 1: cameras can be here. Sometimes the cameras weren't there. A
Speaker 1: lot of the times they were, and I wanted it
Speaker 1: to be in Spanish because all of my reality shows
Speaker 1: before we're in English. Every time I've been on television,
Speaker 1: it's been English, So I thought, I want to make
Speaker 1: this very different and make it a point that it's
Speaker 1: very different. So we did Spanish. And also because my
Speaker 1: plan for twenty twenty four was that I really wanted
Speaker 1: to go into Mexico, which is why we chose Vix,
Speaker 1: because Vix is a very important app in Mexico and Colombia,
Speaker 1: and those are places that I want people to get
Speaker 1: to know me as Cheeky's as the artist, the woman
Speaker 1: behind the music. So I told myself Kio Conquista Mexico.
Speaker 1: I want to conquer Mexico. I want to enter their
Speaker 1: hearts because I feel like they don't really know me,
Speaker 1: They're barely getting to know me. And I have a
Speaker 1: very important show at the end of the year November third,
Speaker 1: Alito na Snad, which is a very important place and
Speaker 1: stage in Mexico, and all of this kind of just
Speaker 1: it wasn't planned. It just happened, and I feel like
Speaker 1: God has been aligning everything for me and it was
Speaker 1: something that came up. I'm also an executive producer, so
Speaker 1: it is the first show under my production company called
Speaker 1: Busy Be Productions, and this is our first project. So
Speaker 1: I also thought in that way for people to trust
Speaker 1: me and trust this Busy Bee Productions, right, I also
Speaker 1: wanted to start this new venture in my life as
Speaker 1: a producer with something that I'm in to gain trust,
Speaker 1: to show what this production company is going to be
Speaker 1: all about out and I am completely raw. For those
Speaker 1: of you that may not know what Sinhiedro is, it's
Speaker 1: just basically no filter. Cheeky is no filter, and that's
Speaker 1: what it is. I feel like I've never shown this
Speaker 1: side of me again with reality TV, we were put
Speaker 1: in certain situations and you kind of had time to prepare,
Speaker 1: I guess, and with the doc you follow. I swear
Speaker 1: you guys. Sometimes I was like, oh my gosh, the
Speaker 1: cameras are here. Well, fuck it, whatever, this is really happening.
Speaker 1: I'm getting a phone call, I'm seeing a text message,
Speaker 1: I'm watching an interview for the first time, and you
Speaker 1: guys get my absolute, natural, very organic, authentic reaction. A
Speaker 1: lot of people say, I've never seen you. Magicis You're
Speaker 1: always in a good mood. You're always positive most of
Speaker 1: the time. I am. I can probably say ninety three
Speaker 1: percent of the time. I'm very happy. I am one
Speaker 1: of those unknowing people that it's just like my brother
Speaker 1: always tells me, Mikey, it's like, you're just always so
Speaker 1: damn positive, Like yeah, because I choose to be. Because
Speaker 1: it's all about how we choose to look at things
Speaker 1: and how we react to certain things. So anyways, you
Speaker 1: will see me upset on chikisinfildrom and I'm completely showing
Speaker 1: my life the way it is without a filter, especially
Speaker 1: in a world that everything is a filter. And I
Speaker 1: don't mean like an actual filter, like the kind that
Speaker 1: we all use on stories and you know, I use
Speaker 1: them too. I'm talking about like everyone wants to paint
Speaker 1: this beautiful picture on Instagram and only show the beautiful
Speaker 1: sides of everything, and this is a way of kind
Speaker 1: of just reminding people like there is power and being vulnerable,
Speaker 1: and we've talked about it a lot here on the podcast,
Speaker 1: and that's something that I'm super passionate about, and that's
Speaker 1: why I wanted to kind of remind people of who
Speaker 1: I really am. Or maybe the people that are gonna
Speaker 1: meet me for the first time, especially in Mexico, they've
Speaker 1: probably heard so many different stories about me and have
Speaker 1: this negative perspective of who I am because of maybe
Speaker 1: the family that I come from, the stories that they've heard.
Speaker 1: Now they get to see who I really am, and
Speaker 1: if they're going to like me, I want people to
Speaker 1: like me for who I am, not what they think,
Speaker 1: not what they might see on Instagram. I feel like
Speaker 1: I try to share and I'm very you know, transparent
Speaker 1: on my social media, but there's only so much that
Speaker 1: we can show there, you know, And that's why I
Speaker 1: wanted to just show every side of myself, of my life,
Speaker 1: my relationship, me as a sister, yes, as an artist.
Speaker 1: It's an important part because I also want people to
Speaker 1: start respecting me for the music, for my profession. And
Speaker 1: that's another thing. With my relationship, I've kept it pretty private.
Speaker 1: I don't show as much as I have with past relationships.
Speaker 1: So I think this is a way of you guys
Speaker 1: seeing a different side or a side that I haven't
Speaker 1: shown in a long time, you know. But again going
Speaker 1: back to that whole thing of just like the world,
Speaker 1: just living in a filter and living in this fantasy
Speaker 1: world and just trying to show that everything is perfect
Speaker 1: and sometimes even and pretending to be something that they're not,
Speaker 1: showing off things that aren't really theirs. And I've seen
Speaker 1: it a lot. So anyways, that's why I wanted to
Speaker 1: call it Chiky Sin Pinro because I'm like, here, there's
Speaker 1: no filter. I can't put a cute little filter on
Speaker 1: my face, Like you're gonna see me without makeup. You're
Speaker 1: gonna see my hair just freaking crazy. I had gotten
Speaker 1: like a little treatment on my face as well, so
Speaker 1: you guys are going to see that. Like just everything
Speaker 1: that I was going through in those like almost nine
Speaker 1: months of filming we started filming last year, and a
Speaker 1: lot of things happen in the beginning of the year.
Speaker 1: The first six months of this year were chaotic, you guys,
Speaker 1: and definitely gonna show you all of that, even things
Speaker 1: that you didn't see or I didn't share on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Maybe I shared it on the podcast, but not even
Speaker 1: in detail. And now you're gonna be able to see it.
Speaker 1: And a lot of the things that you guys are
Speaker 1: gonna see on Chiky Sinfilterro. I've kind of mentioned a
Speaker 1: lot of these things in my books, but a lot
Speaker 1: of people don't like to read. So this is a
Speaker 1: way of giving a visual to my books, to the
Speaker 1: story of my life because again I also take you
Speaker 1: guys on a trip to my past and show you
Speaker 1: guys where I come from, and take you to the
Speaker 1: homes that I was raised in the cities, and I
Speaker 1: talk about beautiful memories and things that have now changed
Speaker 1: and now are very different, and ugh, it's just a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean now that I think about it and I
Speaker 1: see the episodes, because in the moment when it was happening,
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, I know what I'm getting
Speaker 1: myself into, I know what I want to do. I'm
Speaker 1: an executive producer, fit like it is what it is.
Speaker 1: But then when they started editing the episodes and I
Speaker 1: was approving them as a talent as Cheeky's, I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we should say this. This is
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. But then my executive side, my executive
Speaker 1: producer side, was like, okay, well it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. And the executive producer always won. I
Speaker 1: really did enjoy being an executive producer. I think because
Speaker 1: I have trusted so many people blindly and in a
Speaker 1: way very like gullible and naive in my younger years.
Speaker 1: I really liked having that creative control. And not because
Speaker 1: I'm trying to hide anything or because it's easy to
Speaker 1: just edit and remove things, because that's not the case.
Speaker 1: But I did not really take anything out. There was
Speaker 1: just like one little thing that I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: that sounds a little too harsh, but I left most
Speaker 1: of it in. I just took a little itsy bitsy part.
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, take that little part out
Speaker 1: because it's not entirely true. I was just upset, but
Speaker 1: leave the rest because it is pretty honest and harsh,
Speaker 1: and some people might get a little upset or not.
Speaker 1: Some one particular person won't get very hurt, but those
Speaker 1: are consequences to their actions in the moment I meant it.
Speaker 1: But then watching it back, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's that. I'm not trying to hurt that person's feelings
Speaker 1: because I was upset whatever, So I just a little
Speaker 1: itsy bitsy little part. Other than that, I left all
Speaker 1: of it in and there's so much footage, you guys,
Speaker 1: I could probably make like, I don't know, twenty episodes
Speaker 1: at least, But it just felt good to know that
Speaker 1: if I wanted to talk more or share more or
Speaker 1: I don't know, I could do that. So that's what
Speaker 1: I liked that finally, after so many years of give
Speaker 1: and giving giving my truth being transparent, it can't be
Speaker 1: manipulated for it to benefit someone else. Now it's how
Speaker 1: I want it, how I want to express it, and
Speaker 1: I have creative control and that felt really nice. And
Speaker 1: if there's anything that I can change, wow, it would
Speaker 1: be that the cameras could be with me a little
Speaker 1: bit more, just because there's so much happening, and but
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would change anything, to be honest, like,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty happy with the results with everything that I'm
Speaker 1: talking about does it make me a little nervous, Yes,
Speaker 1: because because I talk about some pretty deep things. And again,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to disturb disrupt anyone's life, but this
Speaker 1: is my truth and these are things that really happen
Speaker 1: in my life, and I feel like I have the
Speaker 1: right to express my feelings and my truth. So I
Speaker 1: think I'm just nervous that I don't want to hurt people.
Speaker 1: That's not like what my intention at all. Ever, And
Speaker 1: now that I'm grown up and more mature and I've
Speaker 1: lost the fear of what people will think and if
Speaker 1: people are gonna like me or not, like it gives
Speaker 1: you this different type of power of like, this is
Speaker 1: who I am, take it or leave it. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at. And that's why i did
Speaker 1: Cheeky sein Finkittal because I'm like, I'm letting it all
Speaker 1: hang out and this is me. We started filming last
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty three, around September, and then a little
Speaker 1: more in November, and then we took a little break,
Speaker 1: and then we started up again in January of this year,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. And at first, I think maybe like
Speaker 1: the first week or so, it was a little different.
Speaker 1: I don't really like a lot of people in my home,
Speaker 1: so that was like, I'm like, oh, just like that.
Speaker 1: Anal side of me was like, oh my gosh, my
Speaker 1: floors like started thinking all this stuff. But then it
Speaker 1: just went away and I was like, Okay, you guys here,
Speaker 1: put on some little like shoe covers, and I was fine.
Speaker 1: And then the guys, the camera guys there. I've known
Speaker 1: them for a long time as well. I've worked with
Speaker 1: them in the past, and I felt very comfortable. And again,
Speaker 1: they weren't putting me in a situation like it wasn't
Speaker 1: like say this or starting drama. It was just everything
Speaker 1: that was happening. So that gave me a lot of
Speaker 1: mental peace and just helped me relax a bit more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's completely different from what I've done in the past,
Speaker 1: especially in that area. And again, it was like I
Speaker 1: knew when the cameras were going to be there and
Speaker 1: what we were going to be doing because they're following
Speaker 1: my agenda, Like what it is that I'm like actually doing,
Speaker 1: you know. And guys, the comments that I've been receiving
Speaker 1: have been so good. A lot of people have said,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Chiki's I missed you on television. I
Speaker 1: can see that you're a lot more mature, and I
Speaker 1: do feel mature, and I feel ready, and I always
Speaker 1: feel you know, people say, you know I was born
Speaker 1: for this. I feel like I was born for this.
Speaker 1: You know, I was born ready. But then a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff happened in my life that made me even
Speaker 1: more ready, more ready than I ever thought i'd be.
Speaker 1: So when this opportunity came up and we were talking
Speaker 1: about it at a round table in my office, I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, there's nothing or anyone that I'm scared of.
Speaker 1: I know my truth, I know who I am. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about what anyone else is going to think.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make anyone look bad. If they
Speaker 1: made themselves look bad and I'm talking about it and
Speaker 1: I'm expressing my feelings about how I feel about it,
Speaker 1: then that's another story. But am I intentionally trying to
Speaker 1: make anyone look bad? Absolutely not. It's just not even
Speaker 1: in my character. So the comments that I'd been receiving,
Speaker 1: now people have watched four episodes, because every Friday, two
Speaker 1: new episodes come out, So now there's four, and now
Speaker 1: it's like now it's getting good. I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, people were watching the first. In the second episode,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh my god, I can't wait for the
Speaker 1: third and the fourth. I'm like, Okay, once you get
Speaker 1: to the fourth, that's when stuff starts getting real deep.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's when it starts, you know. So
Speaker 1: I was really excited to see that people were living
Speaker 1: the first. In the second episode, when it launched, I
Speaker 1: was in Miami doing promo. I did have this plan
Speaker 1: of like, oh my god, I'm gonna get all my
Speaker 1: friends and my siblings and we're gonna like, of course,
Speaker 1: Emilio and watch it. But I was in Miami doing promo,
Speaker 1: and when it came out, I was asleep, to be honest,
Speaker 1: Like it was three in the morning in Miami and
Speaker 1: it premiered on vis at twelve am on the sixteenth,
Speaker 1: I believe if it was of August and I was
Speaker 1: in Miami, so I had to watch it on my
Speaker 1: phone on the ViXS app and alone in bed. But
Speaker 1: that was fine too because I had already watched the
Speaker 1: first In the second episode, I watched them all. It's
Speaker 1: just so different watching it, like not on a link
Speaker 1: and more on like the actual app or on television.
Speaker 1: But my friends have loved it. I've received a lot
Speaker 1: of great messages and soon enough, you guys will be
Speaker 1: able to binge. I'm more of like a binge watcher,
Speaker 1: but I know Vix wanted to kind of like build
Speaker 1: the anticipation and it's been working because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of cliffhangers. So that's why we decided to go ahead
Speaker 1: and do two new episodes every Friday. So there's a
Speaker 1: total of ten episodes guys, and there are conversations of
Speaker 1: having a second heart. I'm still not entirely sure yet.
Speaker 1: I'm just taking it day by day. I don't want
Speaker 1: to make an impulsive decision. I want to wait a
Speaker 1: little bit before making that decision. A final decision, should
Speaker 1: I say, you guys will seem Emilio, my partner, my husband,
Speaker 1: my team, my friends, my real friends. A couple of
Speaker 1: them couldn't come out, but like the main core of
Speaker 1: my friends were in there, my siblings as well. In
Speaker 1: a lot of interviews, people asked me like, was it
Speaker 1: difficult to get them on board? And I think in
Speaker 1: the beginning, some of my friends, because they express themselves
Speaker 1: better in English and Emilio does too, were kind of
Speaker 1: hesitant because of that. But then when I told them,
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, you can speak English because ninety five
Speaker 1: percent of it is Spanish. That five percent, or I'm
Speaker 1: having conversations with Emilio or some of my friends, or
Speaker 1: something's come out in English. Like I wanted to feel
Speaker 1: that freedom of just being myself and also the people
Speaker 1: in my life. I didn't want them to pretend. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, if you have to say something in English,
Speaker 1: Johnny or my brother Mikey Jenica, because they're a little
Speaker 1: bit like more hesitant to speak in Spanish. I gave
Speaker 1: them the green light. And that's what I wanted more
Speaker 1: than anything, you know. So I also wanted to be
Speaker 1: organic with myself. I speak a lot of Spanish at
Speaker 1: work and interviews and stuff, so I wasn't very worried
Speaker 1: about it, but I did want to have that liberty
Speaker 1: of if I can't say a certain word in Spanish,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and say it in English.
Speaker 1: So that's what you guys will see, and all my
Speaker 1: conversations with the media, because we don't speak to each
Speaker 1: other on a daily basis in Spanish, we're in English.
Speaker 1: And that's why after he was like, okay, cool, because
Speaker 1: he's not like a person that likes to be in
Speaker 1: front of a camera. He's a photographer. He likes the'
Speaker 1: a videographer, so he's always behind the camera and he
Speaker 1: prefers it that way, which is something I love. So
Speaker 1: I like that. When I told him, he's like, oh, dude,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like are you sure? But and I
Speaker 1: like that because to me, it's like, Okay, he's not
Speaker 1: trying to like, you know, I've just had past relationships
Speaker 1: that were all for it, and I'm like, oh, and
Speaker 1: it was created. I created a monster. So I kind
Speaker 1: of like that. So he's in Chiekisen Fildro when he
Speaker 1: has to be like our wedding guys, you guys will
Speaker 1: be able to see it on there. It's towards the end,
Speaker 1: So nine and ten, you know, those are the episodes
Speaker 1: to look forward to if you want to know what
Speaker 1: the wedding was like. But if he didn't have to
Speaker 1: be there, or if he was just in the background,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's very all, very organic,
Speaker 1: but everyone in my life, including my siblings, everyone was
Speaker 1: totally for it, and I really appreciate that because it
Speaker 1: just makes everything easier I don't have to like exclude anyone.
Speaker 1: I can use real people in my life and that's
Speaker 1: what makes it fun, you know, because it's real. AnyWho.
Speaker 1: I hope that you guys have enjoyed this episode and
Speaker 1: hopefully you take the time to watch Chieky seem Fildro
Speaker 1: on vix. There are four episodes available now and again,
Speaker 1: like I said, every Friday to new episodes. So let
