Speaker 2: while growing up was my mom would cut tortillas and

32
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: we would fry them, and then we would add a

33
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: little bit of sea.

34
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: We didn't.

00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: We had these, okay, and we ate these with everything,

36
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:26,760

00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: guy from Home Improvement behind the fence. Yes, but Jared

50
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,519

62
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: We're good.

63
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: So take me back to this time in your life

64
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: when you were eating hot dogs and chickennout dogs and

65
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: the eggs and corn tortillas. By the way, this taping today,

66
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: all of my guests, all of their meals came to

67
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: twenty dollars combined. Why and that's with inflation. So I

68
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: know all the stories today I'm about to hear are amazing.

69
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: Yes, take me back, Take me back.

70
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So growing up, we moved around a lot. My

71
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: parents were divorcing, so basically my mother was trying to

72
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: we're basically staying with people that could house us, right,

73
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: So it went from Compton to Lynnwood to watts back

74
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: to Compton to Southgate, and she didn't have a lot

75
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: of money. And at the time, we grew up on

76
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: what people called food stamps.

77
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 3: Right, I remember few sands stamps.

78
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: You had the colorful ones right, the money right, Yes,

79
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: I wish they had the debit cards in our time,

80
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: by the.

81
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: Way, yeah, they didn't. We had to literally pull out

82
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: in front of everybody. Everybody in the county line would

83
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: give you dirty looks.

84
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

85
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's how we grew up. And we were

86
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: just really really poor at that moment. I remember I

87
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: just told your story off camera where uh you know,

88
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: my mom would buy us vans every beginning of the

89
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: school year, and we were growing up fast, and at

90
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: one point we're like, Mom, they don't fit us anymore.

91
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: And she had no money until the next paycheck. So

92
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: what she did was she put vasoline on our feet

93
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: and shoved our feet in there and made it work

94
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: for like a week and a half until she got paid. Wow,

95
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: and then she went ahead. But she did what she

96
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: could do because it was just us. And the one

97
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: thing that I love about my mother is that she

98
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: raised us. Like even when me and my sister would argue,

99
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: She's like, ah, stop, we all we got because when

100
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: I'm gone, she's gonna be the only person that's gonna

101
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 2: have you. So we just really grew up with love

102
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: in our household. And we listen, I'm cutting this up

103
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: into triangles.

104
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: Okay, by the way, yeah, I was not expecting that.

105
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: So I'm about to learn a good hack from my

106
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: own personal I think that's more than enough.

107
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So I was just gonna say, well, I'm gonna

108
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: cook for Jared too.

109
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: He had this when growing up.

110
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Just so you know, we always throw food back to

111
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: Jared off camera.

112
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: The second is Jared, you want to eat something, but yeah,

113
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: you need to turn it up.

114
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna turn it up. We're good.

115
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: So are these gonna end up coming out like tortilla chiphina?

116
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 2: But then what you do is that they're like tortilla chips.

117
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: Then we're gonna end a little bit of the hot dog,

118
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: and then we're at the egg over it.

119
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: It's going to be so good.

120
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: Yes, show me a good morning hack, because when I

121
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: say I'm running out the door, I never know what

122
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: to make.

123
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 3: But this looks like a good.

124
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: Super easy, super easy. I'm just waiting for the oil

125
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: to get hot, so I'm just tensing it right now,

126
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: but super easy. My mom made this for us all

127
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: the time growing up. And it's crazy because now that

128
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: you know, I consider myself a successful radio person. I

129
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: view twenty years, twenty years, twenty years, I've been doing

130
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: it and I still creep this.

131
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: Oh so you still eat it?

132
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: I still eat it? Yes, I could eat botsa nova

133
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: and I could eat this like it doesn't bother me

134
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: at all. Yes, yeah, it's getting hotter. We're working this out.

135
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: But you know what, Colleen, I never growing up struggling.

136
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: I never felt sorry for myself. I honestly thought everybody

137
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: grew up like that.

138
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: You know.

139
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: We used to go shopping at the second hand and

140
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: in Spanish we call it the segunda, so my family

141
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: shortened it and called it the Gundi. It was like

142
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: a cute little name. So they'd be like, oh, we're

143
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: going to go to the Gundi. So when I would

144
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 2: go to school, I would be like, oh, you got

145
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: that at the Goondi. I thought everybody shop the way

146
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: we shop. I only started noting the no seeing the

147
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: difference when I was in the seventh grade. And then

148
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: I started getting teased for the way that I was dressed.

149
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: And then I noticed other than that, I was happy.

150
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: My mom was like, listen, as long as you guys

151
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: are fed, you got a roof over your head, and

152
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: you're happy, and you're healthy, and nobody's touching you or

153
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: anything harming, you're good.

154
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean. So that's really how

155
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: was your father.

156
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm just genuinely curious was your father, Like, did he

157
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: just disappear or.

158
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: No, my dad was in and out of prison. Okay,

159
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: So my dad and my mom are both from Compton

160
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: and they grew up in that lifestyle. It is what

161
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: it is. And my dad was gang banging and you know,

162
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: drug dealing all that, and got caught up in that

163
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: life and it was did a lot of time like

164
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: it was either in to had to be wayside, you know.

165
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it's weird because

166
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: people are like, you grew up kind of well rounded.

167
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: And I said, well, yeah, you know what, I had

168
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: a father that wasn't afraid to say he loved me either.

169
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: He'd be like, I love you so much, baby, grad love.

170
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: I just knew my dad loved me, and I don't

171
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: know if it was just the God in me with

172
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: my mom, but I also realized my dad didn't have

173
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: a father figure, So my dad didn't know how to

174
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: be a dad. He didn't have a dad, He didn't

175
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: have a dad that raised him, so he didn't This

176
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: was all foreign to him. But my dad loved me

177
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: and always showed me, you know, whether he'd be out

178
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: on the streets for a couple of days, come home,

179
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: visit us, whatever, it was always full of love. You know.

180
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: I started, as I started growing up and developing into

181
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: a young women, I started noticing, like, Okay, you're out,

182
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: You're not with the You're not with us all the time,

183
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: you know. But I never held a grudge or anything

184
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: like that.

185
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: You didn't feel like you were and you didn't. And

186
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: this is again genuine curiosity. So when your father was

187
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: not when you started to realize that he wasn't always present,

188
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: did you ever compare like the way your mom loved

189
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: and the way he loved did you ever go through

190
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: it like.

191
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: You know what? No? I loved. I was always Daddy's

192
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: little girl, so I I growing up, I think I

193
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: was more towards my dad. And then once I started

194
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: developing into a young women, I started seeing my mom

195
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: was the one that was really making all the struggles

196
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: for her household. My mom was the one that was

197
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: always sacrificing. So I always still loved Dad because I'm

198
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: Daddy's I was Daddy's little girl. However, I became more

199
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: protective of my mother. I never nobody could ever speak

200
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: bad about her, although they didn't. She was an angel

201
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: but I never let anybody speA because I'm like, listen,

202
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: my mom has paid the bills. She's taking two care

203
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: taking care of two kids on her own, she's working

204
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: two jobs. My mom was a welder because it was

205
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: the only job she could have gotten at that time.

206
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: And I remember just saying, listen, Mom, you.

207
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: Know what I mean.

208
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: Whatever you need, we got you. We would clean the house.

209
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: It was a partnership on me and my mom would

210
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: be like, listen, miha, you're the oldest. I depend on

211
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: you the most. You have to help with the house.

212
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: You have to help me with your sister. We are

213
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: all we got. I love that and that was how

214
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: she raised us.

215
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: And she never talked bad about your dad either.

216
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: You know what's so crazy about that is that I

217
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: recently did an interview and it kind of went viral,

218
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 2: and it was surprising to me. My mom never talked

219
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: bad about my father, and people were shocked about it.

220
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: But my dad, in turn, never talked bad about my

221
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: mother because he'd be like, that's the mother of my children.

222
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: Regardless of what we got going on. She makes sure

223
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 2: that my girls are okay all the time, and they

224
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: got clothes and she was on their back. So my dad,

225
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: although they were divorced, was still protective of my mother,

226
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 2: which I thought was super cool. And my mom was like,

227
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: no matter what, that's your father. And sometimes when he

228
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: couldn't come to see us, she would drop us off

229
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 2: so we could visit him. And people would be like, Oh,

230
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: you need a hive for chand support. You need to

231
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 2: get in for this, and She's like, my kids, all

232
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: they know is they need their dad in their life.

233
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: That's all they know. That's all they care about. They

234
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 2: don't know bills, they don't know this, they don't they

235
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 2: know their dad. So I need my daughters to have

236
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: a father figure in their life. They need to understand,

237
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, how a man is supposed

238
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: to treat them. And so it worked out and they weren't.

239
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: They weren't bitter or anything. It just I think I

240
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: was blessed in that sense. But I feel good because

241
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: that's me and my sister grew up with. You know, listen,

242
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: daddy was out there in the streets. Daddy's doing what

243
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: he does. But you know what, he loves us, not

244
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: gonna change. I'm just gonna love him.

245
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's unconditional love. Yes, Now, when did we're

246
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: gonna start inching towards who you became the first twenty

247
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: the first half of your twenty years. How did you

248
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: start getting into radio?

249
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: How did you?

250
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: What inspired that that point of I'm interested in this field,

251
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: you know what.

252
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: I was working in television, and I was working in

253
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: television and I had said something about being in the

254
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 2: IE at the time, and there was a radio station

255
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: that was developing and they hired me through a message

256
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: on the phone. It was crazy. So I went and

257
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 2: I was like, well, if I can do TV, I

258
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: can do radio. No wrong. You have to understand that

259
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: when you do television, even when you change your facial

260
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: expression this, it says a lot. In radio, we have

261
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: to amplify. We have to get excited and talk like

262
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: this and get you to understand what we're doing. So

263
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: the first couple of weeks I couldn't do that, and

264
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, this ain't for me at all.

265
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: And what were you doing in TV before you were

266
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: hosting at LA TV? So LA you said hosting is

267
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: different from radio because hosting you don't have to do

268
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: as much amplification.

269
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 2: No, because it's a lot facial expression. So I'm talking

270
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: like this and you're watching me, but when you're listening

271
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: on the radio, you can't see me. You have to

272
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: feel my expression. So it was hard. And I gave

273
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: my three weeks or my two week notice, my third

274
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: week in radio twenty years ago, and God bless my

275
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: program director at the time. He said, see, see, if

276
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: I didn't think you could do this, I wouldn't have

277
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: hired you. Give it six months. If you feel the

278
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: same in six months, I will accept your resignation letter.

279
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: And I said, okay, fair enough. It's been twenty years.

280
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 3: Wow, yes, and I love it.

281
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: And and the more that I learned and I grew

282
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: and and I understood you know what I mean that

283
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: I had.

284
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 3: To Did you end up getting mentors in the game.

285
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: Or yes, I did. I had a mentors. I had

286
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: a mentor named Chris Lops that actually came from a

287
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: station back in the day called The Beat. Ok yeah,

288
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: ninety two point three The Beat, no color lines. He

289
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: was there, I'm gonna put this right here because that

290
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: is what people do when they broke.

291
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: And uh, he would, uh this looks legit, by the way, guys,

292
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: it's like little tortilla or anything. Yeah, I'm gonna stay

293
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: out of your kitchen.

294
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't you worry, girl, You're gonna love this.

295
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: So so you you're you end up saying in radio

296
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: you did get mentors that helped you.

297
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: Kind of in the game.

298
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: In the game, okay, And I.

299
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: Had mentors in the game, and I learned from them

300
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: and they taught me. And I even had the DJs, like,

301
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: because I was a radio personality, it was kind of

302
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: cool to learn from DJs because when you're on the

303
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: radio and you're talking, you have a screen and it's

304
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: the countdown of the music and what's coming up next.

305
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: I was so focused on that and being perfect and

306
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 2: hitting every break. I remember a DJ came in the

307
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: studio put tape over the screen and said and I

308
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: was like, what are you doing. That's my countdown when

309
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: I'm talking on air right now. And he was like,

310
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: you don't need that. You go to the club. You

311
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: know hip hop, you know music. Listen to the beat,

312
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 2: listen to the beat. See, you need to start thinking

313
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: like a DJ.

314
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, I'm not a DJ.

315
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: I killed it and I started learning like that, and

316
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 2: then once I started blending my boards and really excelling,

317
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 2: people were like, Wow, you're really good at blending your boards.

318
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: And I said, because I learned from a DJ, and

319
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: shut up to that DJ, mister Swift, because he really

320
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: helped me focus and and showed me how to be

321
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: a better radio personality. So I did have a couple

322
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: of mentors. Adrian Scott, who does all the concerts in

323
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. You see how the Wess won Crush Group.

324
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: He was a radio personality program direct for a long time.

325
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: He taught me a lot about my worst and also too.

326
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: He talked you a lot about your worth, yes, like

327
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: on a professional level or on.

328
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: A professional level, or like a professional level, he was like,

329
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: ask for this, always be about your money, get your money,

330
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: know your wor sy like you know you know how

331
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: to do this. Like he never cut me any slack,

332
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: And a lot of times I thought he was hard

333
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: on me, but he was hard on me because he

334
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: saw the potential in me. So once I started accepting

335
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: the constructive criticism and writing with it, I just became

336
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: this beast and I and then I worked for Jennifer

337
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: Lopez and that was something in itself, and I did

338
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: Collective on newbou TV at the time, and my first

339
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: check that Jlo gave me for interviewing. I thought it

340
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: was a mistake and I remember I was like, oh shit.

341
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: So I remember asked somebody else. I was like, hey,

342
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: is this about right? They got paid. They're like, yeah,

343
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: that's what you get paid. And I was like, oh

344
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: my god. And I remember her sister, Lindelopez was like

345
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: to say, this is what you're worst. I was in

346
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: a dressing room. It was huge. I had makeup person,

347
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: hair person, stylists, pa, a runner, and I'm like, all

348
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: this for me. You got to remember I grew up

349
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: in a trailer. I lived in a trailer in watts

350
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: We grew up in Compton. Look at what I'm making.

351
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I don't need all this. Like I

352
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: could do my own hair, I could do my own

353
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: make up, I do my own shop because it's what

354
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: we have to do. And they're like, no, no, no, no,

355
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: you're the talent. This is how you're supposed to be treated.

356
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: And once I accepted that, I think it was the

357
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: imposter syndrome. I don't belong here. You know, I grew

358
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: up like this. I don't belong here.

359
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 3: And also I'm just backtracking.

360
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: When you got the JLO gig, where you also kind

361
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: of like in that position of.

362
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: H like I'm so thankful to be in the room

363
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: kind of.

364
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I went okay, so like, oh, this is

00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: Jalo soul, like so yeah, this is.

00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: she is?

00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: Yes?

370
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.

371
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: So I start really quick about Jennifer is that you

372
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: see all these little memes on Instagram and it's like

373
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: this like wrinkled looking face that is all like people

374
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: that do that editing because I went to her house.

375
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: She invited us for barbecue. I was working for at

376
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: the time, and I remember sitting down and I was

377
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: just like, oh my god, and I was taking my

378
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: moment of man, this is where I grew up super poor,

379
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: my mom putting vasilaine on my shoes feet so I

380
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: can fit into shoes. And I'm sitting with like the

381
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: number one international artist in the world, right like Jennifer Lopez.

382
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: She comes to me, she sits down and she's like,

383
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: are you good, CC, do you need anything? Did you

384
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: get yourself a plate to eat? Like, you know, because

385
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: it's a barbecue. And I remember looking at her like

386
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm looking at you, and I was like, oh my gosh,

387
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: she's so perfect.

388
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 3: Oh my god, money but money can buy.

389
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: Like it's just like I was like, I bet you

390
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: she's using the best lotions, the best serum. But she

391
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: was just so flawless.

392
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: Really, but she was.

393
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: She was hospitable, it sounds like very hospitable, but also too,

394
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: she very healthy really.

395
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, she doesn't hear alcohol, right, nope. And I was.

396
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: There somebody was trying to smoke a cigarette on her

397
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: property and she made them walk across the street because

398
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: she said no smoking at her house. So yeah, so

399
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: she didn't play. But when I got hired there, I

400
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: mean listening, you see what I'm eating, right, So, so

401
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 2: what we grew up on. When I got hired there,

402
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 2: I was the chubbiest girl and all the girls were

403
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: like this skinny and freaking gorgeous, right, And I remember

404
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 2: going like on this day, trying to lose weight, trying

405
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 2: to lose weight, and I remember they pulled me aside

406
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: and lindelp was.

407
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: Like, what are you doing?

408
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh girl, I'm losing weight. Thank

409
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 2: thank you for hiring me. I'm gonna be the best

410
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: for you. I'm making sure I'm good, and they're like, no, no, no,

411
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: we hired you because the way you look like you're talented.

412
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: But the way you look, there's more people that look

413
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: like you than like them. Yeah, you have to understand that.

414
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 2: And I didn't understand it at the time. And then

415
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 2: I just learned to embrace the curves.

416
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean. And you got a

417
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: nice body, by the way, thank you.

418
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: So I just embraced the curves with a little bit

419
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: of meat on them because we do love to eat.

420
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: It looks so good.

421
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: Girl.

422
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 3: Is the trick now? So now, this is the first

423
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 3: time I've ever seen someone do this in front of me.

424
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: So the trick isn't to put a lot of oil.

425
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 3: It's a little bit. Yeah, okay, it's a.

426
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: Little bit because you're gonna put the eggs in something

427
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: and you don't want it to be too oily, so

428
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 2: the tortillas will like basically soak it up and fry it. Okay,

429
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm doing right now. So what I'm

430
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: doing is letting it fry a little bit more so

431
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 2: it can soak up more of that oil and then

432
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: when I put the eggs, we're fine. But I did

433
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: put a little bit of oil.

434
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: I love. I know it's a good lesson because I'm

435
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 3: gonna go home and do this.

436
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: It's so good. It's so inexpensive.

437
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: Yes, and I literally like when I'm surprised you didn't

438
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: add cheese or something, no, because we.

439
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: Didn't have it, Like this is what we had, and

440
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: of course we had some topatio, but we can, you know.

441
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: And then people like think, um, crazy because I'll even

442
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: put ketchup on this.

443
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: Oh really I.

444
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: Like it.

445
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: No, you know what, when Jara switches the cameras, he'll

446
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: probably bless us with some ketchup.

447
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: I needed, and then we'll just add the egg over it.

448
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 3: H wow, here that this is crazy. I'm learning so

449
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: many hacks.

450
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: If you're a single mom or a mom at home,

451
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: these are like the best moments because you could like

452
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: learn a quick hack.

453
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's is home today.

454
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like a little crunch and then you get

455
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 2: your little meat in there protein and we did the

456
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: chicken so it's not pork, and then that's it. And

457
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: then when we did have cheese, we would do a

458
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: little bit of cheese and then most of the time

459
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 2: we would have like you know, green salasa or we

460
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: call it salata or we'll have like the thapathio and

461
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: we would just pour it on there and that was it.

462
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes though I was the only one of my family

463
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 2: that would put ketchup and people make fun of me,

464
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: but I loved it. But yeah, this was my broke

465
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: meal that got me through like every place I've been to,

466
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 2: Like I moved to Face to do radio. I did

467
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: radio out there for five years.

468
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 3: Wow.

469
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: And this was my go to mel because single at

470
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: the time, I had a studio apartment. I just moved

471
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: to this new city and I was struggling and this

472
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: was everything. And it's crazy because you know what the

473
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: trick is too or onion powder.

474
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Jared knew what he was doing because

475
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: I promised you he laid out all those seasonings and

476
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: I was like, it wasn't even on your call shee no, yes,

477
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: And right.

478
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: Now, like even when I was looking, I was like,

479
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: oh my god, I forgot to tell him that onion powder. Nah.

480
00:20:53,840 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: He he blessed you. So what happened with the Jalo situation.

481
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 2: The network went out of business and then I just

482
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,479
Speaker 2: continue to do radio because I was doing both at

483
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: the time, and I went.

484
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 3: From how did you take that blown?

485
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 2: It was hard, but it wasn't. I wasn't the only

486
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: one affected. So we had We were at Neuveau TV

487
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: and that was Jalo's but at the time there was

488
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 2: a bid for Fuse TV, so she bought that.

489
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 3: But she bought that.

490
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: Yes, so there was JAILO did ye okay?

491
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: Boss?

492
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: Yes? And I don't know how much percentage.

493
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 3: I just know there was.

494
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: I just know we got talked to and we were like,

495
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: so they're trying to figure it out because Neuvau was

496
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: in the West coast, Fuse was in the east coast,

497
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: so they were saying that she was going to somehow

498
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: try to take a She's gonna have to let go

499
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: half here half theresolidated, and so we didn't know what

500
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: was going on, but at the time they were just

501
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: they said they placed the show on hold but never

502
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: came back, So which was fine because radio was my

503
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: love and I loved it, and honestly, like I took

504
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: that as a lesson working with Jlo. She taught me

505
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: a lot and I was able to walk away with

506
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: what I figured with my work, and it showed me

507
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 2: how to negotiate and how to move through the industry.

508
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 2: So it was a big blessing and then I got

509
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: a lot of gigs after that, you know what I mean.

510
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: So I loved it and I loved working for her.

511
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: She was awesome. She was never rude to me or anything.

512
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: Now people will say, well, she wasn't rude. She wasn't

513
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: like in Spanish we was saying like gon Gardino, like

514
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: you know, oh, I'm showing you everything, would love like

515
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 2: hey girl, and I hugguess not like that. It was

516
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: more like she was very like a polite she wanted

517
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 2: to make sure you were good. But it wasn't like

518
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 2: I'm very loving and it wasn't that. But I could

519
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: only imagine she's probably been in the industry for so

520
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: long and been around so many people, she has to

521
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: be protective of herself. So I wasn't anything like that personal. Okay, yeah,

522
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: I don't take anything really personal. Yeah, but yeah, So

523
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: it was like but it was cool because I'm like,

524
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 2: oh my god, Like I literally I remember living in

525
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: a trailer in watts and we had to go to

526
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: the bathroom. It was just a shell and we had

527
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: to go to the bathroom because we're parked in front

528
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: of somebody's house. So my mom was like, you have

529
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: to go to the bathroom before they go to bed

530
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 2: because you're not going to be able to use the

531
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 2: restroom till they wake up.

532
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: Oh, you mean you'd have to leave the house to

533
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 3: go to their house, leave.

534
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: The trailer and going there because our trailer was in

535
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 2: front in the front yard. Wa.

536
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: Wow.

537
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 2: And so it was Office of Moor and Watts. Our

538
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: trailer was in front yard. And so my mom understood

539
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: they were doing us a favor by letting us live there.

540
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: So she was very always conscious about not disturbing them.

541
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: So you go to the bathroom before they go to bed,

542
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 2: and you don't get to use the restroom till they

543
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: wake up because our camper was just a shell. It

544
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 2: was not anything working in there. Wow. And so that's

545
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: what we had to do.

546
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: And then to go like, look at your life fast forward.

547
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: That's got to be an incredible journey. How did your

548
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: mom feel seeing all that growth?

549
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: Comfortable?

550
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 2: Well, she wasn't. She didn't understand it. She like my

551
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: mom was had us when Chad me when she was sixteen,

552
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: my sister when she was seventeen. You know, they're from Compton.

553
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 2: She was just trying to survive. So I remember being

554
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: at the house and she was on the phone with

555
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: my aunt and she was like, oh, my poor baby,

556
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: because I'm in radio at this time. She's like, she's

557
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: trying to find herself. She don't, she don't trying to

558
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: and I'm like, and I'm listening. I tell my siter,

559
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, I know who I am, but I'm doing

560
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: a different career path that my mom has ever imagined.

561
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 3: She's all, welldre she's a hard work Yeah, she goes

562
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: from a different time.

563
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 2: Right, And all she wants is for me to have

564
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: health insurance, dental insurance, vision coverage, four one K plan.

565
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: To her, that's successful. Yeah, And to me, I wanted

566
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:50,239
Speaker 2: to really be who I was. So I just you know,

567
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: I had to accept it, and I had to. And

568
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 2: I remember my sister was there for me, and my

569
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: sister was like, she doesn't understand it, but it's okay, sister,

570

Speaker 2: keep going. My sister is like, has went back all

571
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: the time time, and I was like, okay. And then

572
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 2: once I started climbing and making real money and big

573
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: money and she started seeing the fruits of my labor

574
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 2: actually coming together, then it changed from oh, my poor

00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: you put on this it's that crunch with.

627
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: The cruntry really does it.

628
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: So if your back because on the show, I'm really

629
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: supposed to be tasting, but everyone once we got a

630
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: dish is so good.

631
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: I love it.

632
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm trying to take a step. Che can continue hearing

633
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: your story?

634
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: No, you're good. But yeah, so my mom I would

635
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 2: cook because my mom would have us cook, and these

636
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: are the dishes that she would have us make. And

637
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: from time to time, like like I said, we would

638
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: take my mom out and we'll be like, Mom, where

639
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 2: do you want to go? We'll take you to any restaurant.

640
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: Me and my sister loves spoiling her because she struggled

641
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: so much and we're very successful now, and but she doesn't.

642
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: She's so simple, and I think that's beauty in her

643
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: that she still craves these dishes. She has me making

644
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 2: her every morning and a lot of yours will know this.

645
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: She has me making her avenna and I was going

646
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 2: to have you make get that. So basically avena.

647
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: Is literally.

648
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 2: Water, boil it, oat meal, put a little bit of

649
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: milk in there, brown sugar no I'm sorry, cinnamon and sugar,

650
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: and we mix it and then we would get like

651
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: bean burritos, beans tortillas, roll it, and then you have

652
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: your avenna with your bean burrito. That's how me and

653
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: my family loved it. And then my niece is growing

654
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: up now they like it with toasts, so they will

655
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: make them the toast with the avenna.

656
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: But it's like omeal, it's old milky.

657
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's so good and.

658
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: It's almost like, yeah, I'm glad I got this. Yeah,

659
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: this is so good. This is good.

660
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, I love that.

661
00:28:59,360 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: I love it.

662
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: So let's get closer up to where you are today.

663
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: Okay, what were some of the would you say, pivotal

664
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: moments between the j Lo gig and where you're at

665
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: today that kind of changed or re transitioned your trajectory

666
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: because I see j Loo bern j and having that

667
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: mentor really helped establish your worth in the industry and

668
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: kind of break you through the imposter syndrome. But now

669
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: that you established at worth, were there any points in

670
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: your career where you had to like almost backpedal or

671
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: renegotiate back to who you who, who you first envisioned

672
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: yourself for versus no one you're worth now.

673
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: No, I think my ride has been pretty smooth. I've

674
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: had some bumps, but I think one pivotal moment was

675
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 2: when I was actually looking to apply at a certain

676
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: radio station, and I really believed that I was the

677
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: perfect person. I grew up on that music. I loved it.

678
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: I knew all the artists they were playing. They were

679
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: looking for a Latina. I was like, oh, perfect, I

680
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: know everything. Yeah, I'm from here, born and raised. We're good.

681
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: I went to audition and I did my air, submitted

682
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: my air chick, met with the UH manager and everything

683
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: went good. Then I got a call from the guy

684
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: who recommended me, and he said, you know, Ceci, I

685
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: don't know how to say this. I'm not Hispanic, but

686
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: you're like, you're awesome, but I you know, it's not me.

687
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: But their vibe was that, and I just knew it.

688
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: And I said, they're looking for a brown girl, but

689
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: I'm too brown, and he said exactly. I said, you're

690
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: looking for a brown girl that acts white maybe or

691
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: has more white friends. And he's like, not my words,

692
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: but you know, basically that's what they were looking for.

693
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: So I didn't get the part. I wasn't upset, though.

694
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: I was fine with it because I love being the

695
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: brown girl, you know, what I mean, that's from southern

696
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: California that's moved around because I know there's a lot

697
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: of little girls like me. So I may not be

698
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 2: accepted in that that specific job, however, but as.

699
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 3: A radio personality, that's what they were looking for.

700
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so weird. Sometimes in radio they'd be looking

701
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: for the weirdest shit. But that didn't bother me because,

702
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: like I said, there's a lot and I told him,

703
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not offended. There's a lot of more

704
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: little girls that look like me, and I gotta stand

705
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: strong for them. I gotta stand strong for them. I

706
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: cannot fold. I gotta keep ten toes down. So if

707
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: that's if it wasn't for me, then that's okay, because

708
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: God didn't want me there. What for me is for me.

709
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: So that kind of went away, and that, you know,

710
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: and from what I hear, it's not doing too well.

711
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: But anyhow, now you know, and I'm at Kaye. Yeah,

712
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm at KADA and KD is owned by Marillo Media,

713
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: which owns Powerwin No. Six A, Los Calle ninety three

714
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: to nine. So when Marillo bought Power and we moved

715
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: into the same building, they already had ideas of putting

716
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: me in onto Power one O six to help pull

717
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: in the draw in the community. So that's what I did.

718
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 2: I did my job. It was cool. However, I did

719
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: go back and I begged them to go and please

720
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 2: let me come back to KD because I loved being

721
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: at Power winto six and it was cool, like you know,

722
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: trying to get them read. My goal was to get

723
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 2: Power to be reattached to the community, and I think

724
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: I did that. But at the end of the day,

725
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: I still had to think about my brand and what

726
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: I wanted, and what I wanted was to be at

727
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: nine three five KD. My family's from La born and raised.

728
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: We grew up on fifteen eighty am, you know, so

729
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: I wanted to be attached to that station. I wanted

730
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: the Tupas and the Snoop Doggs and the Ice Cues

731
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: and the Nwa and the Nases and the Queen Latifa's.

732
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: That's what I wanted. I didn't really have too much

733
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 2: passion for, you know, to meet the new stuff at

734
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: the time.

735
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I still like that.

736
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: It's hard. I mean, there's some new artists that I

737
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: actually loved, but just there's nothing like that era, right, Yeah,

738
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: so I, you know, begged and begged and bagged, and

739
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: they finally were like, all right, we could bring it back,

740
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: you know. She she did what she did, and I

741
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: was like, just please, I love Cada, and they're like

742
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: all right. So I went back to kDa and I

743
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: did the morning show with Romeo dominated mornings, and then

744
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: pandemic hit and a lot of people were being furloughed,

745
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: and I remember a lot of radio personalities were getting

746
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 2: were able to work from home, but ours didn't allow us.

747
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 2: So I was really nervous. I remember at that time

748
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: when pandemic hit, we didn't know anything about COVID. You

749
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: just knew, like you were so scared. You just knew

750
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: if somebody got it, the probably died. Right.

751
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 3: That was like the beginnings.

752
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: So I remember sitting in my bed in the bedroom

753
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: and they were like, you have to come in if

754
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: you want to still get a paycheck. And I was

755
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: crying and my fiance walked in and I was like,

756
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if I love radio enough to die

757
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 2: for it. And I was like, and That's where I'm

758
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: at in my life right now. And I never thought

759
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 2: i'd be here, but the station promised us protocols and

760
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 2: everything would be clean. So I ended up doing it,

761
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: and then they stretched me out from mornings to mid days,

762
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 2: so then I was on from five point thirty to

763
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: like two o'clock.

764
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 3: In the afternoon.

765
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah.

766
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: Also, what time do you have to go on when

767
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: it's five thirty? Do you go in at like four three?

768
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 4: No?

769
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: I go in at five only because I show prep

770
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: everything the night before or right in the mornings before

771
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 2: I get them.

772
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: I have my main stories, so you're up early. I

773
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: was always bedtime just random.

774
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: When I was doing mornings, my bedtime was between eight

775
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: and nine, and then I'd wake up at three o'clock

776
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: in the morning because we still had to get camera read.

777
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

778
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, I did it for what almost almost twenty years,

779
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: and then was doing mornings, and then when they stretched

780
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: me out to middays, then they started realizing, oh okay,

781
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,479
Speaker 2: people are coming back out now pandemic is kind of over. Hey,

782
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 2: workforst has changed now. Like before you'd have the nine

783
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 2: to fivers and we were set schedules. Now because of pandemic,

784
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 2: some people are working from home, some people working in

785
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 2: the afternoons, some people are working at nights. Like the

786
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 2: whole time has changed. So then they separated me in

787
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: Rome and put me in the afternoons, and they're like,

788
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 2: we need your energy in the afternoons. It takes people

789
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: longer to get home from work than it does to

790
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 2: get to work. So I went in the afternoons dominated it.

791
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: I'm killing it. I mean, we just had talks about

792
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: my show ratings. I'm like out the freaking gate with it,

793
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: which is awesome. But what I love is that I

794
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: have a team around me, and I stress to them

795
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: the importance of being outside. And so people are like,

796
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 2: what's your secret? You know, your ratings are so good,

797
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 2: and your ratings have been good since the pandemic.

798
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: Like I've always hit what does never mean to be outside?

799
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: You got to be in the community. You got to

800
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 2: be doing these community events, you got to be at it,

801
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: you got to be at certain mixers because this industry,

802
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 2: if you're not outside, you can't get mad. They'll forget

803
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 2: about you if you're not at the top of their mind,

804
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 2: and you can't blame them. They're around the people that

805
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: they're seeing the mother and that that's what's coming to

806
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 2: their minds. So you have to be outside. And I

807
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 2: told people that I've said, you know, you can't run

808
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 2: a radio show from behind the console like I could

809
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 2: do this, but I also have to be outside too.

810
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 2: I also have to be advocating for my show for KJA,

811
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 2: especially nowadays because we got so much competition, you know

812
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 2: what I mean. So that's been my secret.

813
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: Is just but that's also what your mom was. Also.

814
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: My mom was about that.

815
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 3: Yes she was oh yeah ninety nine said store less.

816
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: And my mom was always about blessing other people, you know,

817
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: and that's what's her thing. We would be like, Mom,

818
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: we already have it, you're giving in and she's like,

819
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: they have it worse than us. They have it worse

820
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 2: than us. You need to stop thinking like that. Open

821
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 2: your heart. Like my mom has always been that way.

822
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 2: So I think that's where I come from. And people

823
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: are like, Cecie, you're always in the community, like you're

824
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 2: just and to me it's so natural that I'm like,

825
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: that's not a big thing. That's how you live your life,

826
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: you know. It's being outside, is being with them, is

827
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 2: doing these fundraisers. I did fundraisers for the street vendors.

828
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: Remember during the Pendic, they were getting beat up and

829
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: getting assaulted. Ye I did a food drive in November

830
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: for them, and I found out in doing this food drive.

831
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 2: Did you know that street vendors we couldn't get them

832
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 2: turkeys because they don't have refrigerators like you have a refrigerator.

833
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: There's street vendors they have sometimes they only have an

834
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: ice chest. Wow. Yes, So we had to get them

835
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: dry goods, and we had to give them gift cards

836
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: because they don't have the refrigerator space. And I remember

837
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: there was a street vendor she was eighty two or

838
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: eighty three years old, by the name of Daisy. We

839
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 2: dropped off the food to her house. She didn't have

840
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: no couch. She had an office chair and a TV

841
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: and that was how she sat and watched her television.

842
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: There was no couch. I mean, imagine being on your

843
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: feet all day and you don't get to rest. She

844
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 2: had one small refrigerator and like two three ice chests.

845
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 2: We sat there, talked to her for a couple hours,

846
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 2: you know, blessed her. And then when we were getting

847
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: up to leave us already after nine point thirty, she

848
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 2: gets up too, and I tell the girl that's working

849
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: with me, where's she going? And she goes, where are

850
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: you going? She said, why didn't make enough today? So

851
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: I have to go back outside and sell. Imagine your

852
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 2: eighty three year old grandmother being out at nine thirty

853
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: at night in la and having to sell because she

854
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 2: didn't make any money. And when we tried to get

855
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: the directions, she didn't know her address, so we had

856
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: to write it down, put on refrigerator and be like,

857
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 2: this is your address when people ask you. So there's

858
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 2: so much more in the community that goes through that.

859
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: And I remember sitting outside and I was bawling, and

860
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: I called my mom and I was like, it's not

861
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: fair that people live this way, Mom, it's not fair.

862
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: And she's like, I know, baby, but you know what,

863
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,959
Speaker 2: God has blessed you, and you're blessing her. And that's

864
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 2: the only way that I have learned to keep my

865
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 2: sanity and all this. I adopted an orphanage in Tijuana,

866
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 2: and I did it because it was doable. It was

867
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: forty kids. So what we did was they made Christmas cars.

868
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 2: I would give you one, give Jared one, and you

869
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: would be be in charge of that kid and they

870
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 2: would tell you, hi, calling my What I like is

871
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: I like Baretts, But what I need is underwear, that's

872
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: all I Hey, I love soccer. I would love to

873
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 2: have a soccer ball, but what I need is t shirts.

874
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: So it's so crazy what their need was. And we

875
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: would go deliver it and I would just say, hey,

876
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 2: you just have to buy those two items, but decorate it,

877
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 2: wrap it up because we want to give them the

878
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: feeling of.

879
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 3: A kid a wrap a gift.

880
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: Right.

881
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 3: So this is what I do, and.

882
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: This is how it's so important for me to still

883
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: be tapped in. I'm gonna be I'm trying to put

884
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: together a trunk or treat for kids for Halloween, but

885
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: we're doing it a step further. We're gonna have the

886
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 2: trunk or treat. Have you ever heard of that?

887
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: No?

888
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 2: Okay, So a lot of parents do because it's safe

889
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: trick or treating for the kids. Churches do it, schools

890
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: do it. So you get all these cars, they park

891
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: in a parking lot, they open up the trunk, they

892
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: decorate the trunk, and then the kids go around collect

893
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: a nice candy and it's just a safe way of

894
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 2: doing It's very controlled. But we're going to take it

895
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: a step further and we have a DJ and everything.

896
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a sensory hour that our before for

897
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 2: kids that have special needs, kids that are autistic, the

898
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 2: music's too loud for them, it's too much. So we're

899
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: doing something so we can include all children.

900
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,479
Speaker 3: Wow, where are you gonna do that at? I'm trying

901
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: to do it at the Solfie Stadium.

Speaker 1: It sounds really wonderful.

907
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I just think that that's part of being outside,

908
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: that's part of being the community, and that is what's

909

962
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 2: we're just excited. But those are moments where I'm like,

963
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 2: I just remember growing up listening to you guys I remember,

964
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 2: you know, and because I am Mexican from Compton, like

965
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 2: we grew up listening different music, Like I grew up

966
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 2: on Chaka Khan, the Ohio Players, Teddy Pendergrass, you know,

967
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 2: of course, the Ice Cubes, the Tupas, you know, the Whispers,

968
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 2: Tina Marie, like that was my whole playground of music.

969
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 2: And so it was just so surreal that I'm just like,

970
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: oh my god, Like these people I call them my friends, yeah,

971
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: and some good friends. And these are people I listened

972
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 2: to growing up, and.

973
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 3: I love that they value you back.

974
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: I think there's nothing more special than a two way relationship,

975
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: like the fact that they're thinking of yeah, ladies.

976
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 3: By the way, we had Lazy I love Lazy Bone.

977
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: The I call it the third best ramen on our

978
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,120

Speaker 1: had the.

980
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 3: Was it the third or second best? I think he

981
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 3: was the second.

982
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: I know, you know, I think he may have been

983
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: the second best. He is the second best rama we've

984
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: ever had. And you want to know what he put

985
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,080

986
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: or mayonnaise in it.

987
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 3: I was tripping.

992
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: up with he put way too many peppers. But other

993
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,239

1012
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,400

1020
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: his beats and then he saw a keyboard in the

1021
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 2: corner and he said, can I just play something? And

1022
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: he said yeah, and he was just playing and then

1023
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: he said that's it. I like it, and he was

1024
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: like but he was like at some point it was

1025
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: like okay, I'm running out of OX and I'm like,

1026
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 2: oh my god, Like how crazy is that?

1027
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: Imagine you get that far in the room and only

1028
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: find out you get you know who?

1029
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 2: Uh?

1030
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: One of the kids that well he's grown now. So

1031
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: that's James Andre Jefferson Junior. I don't know if you

1032
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: know James, but I remember Trevor Knall was tracking him

1033
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: or whatever and he like flew him out and he

1034
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: really wanted to.

1035
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 3: James did to make the cup. But I was like, damn,

1036
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 3: you got so close. Yeah, sometimes it's just what it is.

1037
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: But I think in this industry, the key is just consistency.

1038
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 2: Just keep going, just keep going, just keep going, Just

1039
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 2: keep doing it. You know, even if you fail that

1040
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 2: first time, keep doing it again, keep doing it again,

1041
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 2: because it'll grow, it'll get bigger, and people will, you know,

1042
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: catch on to it and really support you. So I

1043
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: think for me, I just as long as I don't stop,

1044
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: and I never look back at my highlights, I don't.

1045
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 2: Sometimes people got to ask me and I'll be like, oh, yeah,

1046
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 2: the other day my assistant was like, oh, you interviewed

1047
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 2: that person I said I did. I don't even remember, Like,

1048
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't really go back and look my highlight.

1049
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 3: You don't think that's good to do.

1050
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: I enjoy the moment really quick, but I have so

1051
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: much more I want to do, so I will let

1052
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 2: people tell me. You know what I mean, Oh you

1053
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 2: did good, did all right? Perfect? You liked it?

1054
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 3: Was it good to touch you? All right?

1055
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: Bet? And then I go into the next because I

1056
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: have more projects I have to do, so I never

1057
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: look back at it. And then one thing I've never

1058
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: done and I don't care. I stand by it. It

1059
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 2: doesn't bother me. I have never ever watched myself on

Speaker 2: like that? I didn't blend very well? Oh my god,

1074
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: I stuttered at this word. And I will depress myself.

1075
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 1: It's so crazy because I was sitting here thinking before

1076
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 1: you said that. I think one of the most beautiful

1077
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: things about you is the embracing of you, Like, yeah,

1078
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: embrace you. So to hear you say that is crazy

1079
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: because on the outside, the way you handled your business,

1080
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: it seems like you embrace you. But to hear that

1081
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: there's this side of you, that there there yourself down

1082
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: is crazy because I'm sitting here like, I love how

1083
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: you love who you are and what you represent. Like

1084
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 1: I think that if I were to walk away from

1085
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: this whole interview, I'd say I love the way she

1086
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: loves who she is, and and.

1087
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 2: I do, and I think in those moments, I don't

1088
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 2: want to take that away because like I'll be at

1089
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 2: an event and I'll be so happy and I'll be

Speaker 2: came out good, and I'll see a video and the

1092
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 2: video I'm leaning a little forward when I'm walking, so

1093
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 2: it looks awkward and I'm like, why did I walk

1094
00:48:58,600 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 2: like that?

1095
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: So madam more like perist.

1096
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm such a perfectionist and so I I do

1097
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: that to keep my own sanity and my sanity at

1098
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 2: the house, so I don't watch anything. I will tell

1099
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 2: I tell people that all the time. So I'm like,

1100
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 2: what do you? And my friends always give me beautiful

1101
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 2: constructive criticism, but they're like you're good. See they're good,

1102
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: They're and they just say, I wish you would watch

1103
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 2: yourself one time, and yeah, and I get I have anxiety,

1104
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 2: like I'll get up. My mom has tried to make

1105
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: me sit down and watch and she's like, baby, just

1106
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 2: sit right here, just watch this real quick. And I'll

1107
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 2: sit there and then I'll get up and I'll like

1108
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 2: act like I'm making something because I need to be

1109
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 2: out of the room because I am looking through a

1110
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 2: different lens than my mother is. So those are that's

1111
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 2: just my thing. But I'm a perfectionist. But at the

1112
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 2: end of the day, I'm happy, like I I I

1113
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just I'm happy. But I think

1114
00:49:55,440 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 2: that I'm also conscious of like other people around me,

1115
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: and I don't know how I am perceived to them.

1116
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: So I always want to be like extra loving or

1117
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 2: you know. I always wanted to take time and speak

1118
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: to people just because there was a time I met

1119
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: somebody and they were like, oh, cec I met you

1120
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 2: a couple times. I don't think you like me. And

1121
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 2: I said, I don't even know you, what are you

1122
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 2: talking about? And they're like, well, I wanted to take

1123
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 2: a picture with you at a concert and I went

1124
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 2: like this and you pushed my hand off you, and

1125
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god. I was probably in

1126
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 2: a moment where I was going through something and I

1127
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 2: am some random guy and you touched me. I went like,

1128
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, and I'm like, this happened two years ago.

1129
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 2: You carried this with you for two years. You think

1130
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 2: I don't even know you. What's your name? My name

1131
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 2: is Cecil. Let me introduce myself properly. And that bothered

1132
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 2: me because I felt bad and I was like, Wow,

1133
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: somebody really walked around thinking that I didn't like them

1134
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 2: when I was just in a moment and concert moments crazy.

1135
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 2: I was in a moment and they must have touched

1136
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 2: me and I didn't realize it and I pushed her hand.

1137
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 2: So I try to stay conscious.

1138
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: Look how approachable you are, though, because for the fact

1139
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: that they can come up to you and say that

1140
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: shows that probably they got they caught you when you

1141
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: weren't a party at somebody's party, we were able to

1142
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: talk to you about it. Yeah, I think you're a

1143
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: real beautiful genuinely beautiful, like it's vibrating, very loud, one

1144
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: of my favorite breakfast dishes on the show.

1145
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 3: Yes by far, I hope we could stay in touch.

1146
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 2: Yes, are you gonna make? You should make like a

1147
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 2: like a recipe book with all this we are.

1148
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: That's why I said, put to put your address very yeah,

1149
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 1: because we want to send out an Eating while Broke cookbook.

1150
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 1: It's so funny because I've talked to publishers about doing

1151
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: the cookbook, and when I send over the ingredients of

1152
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: all the celebrities, I mean, these are successful people, and

1153
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: I'm like sending over their their dishes spam and egg

1154
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: and cheese, and they're like, who's gonna buy this cookbook?

1155
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, bruh, you It's not just it's the stories

1156
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: behind the cookbook. It's known that your favorite MC, your

1157
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: favorite author, your favorite entrepreneur started at this point. And honestly,

1158
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: most of these dishes these people still eat because now

1159
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: it's become an iconic thing. I used to tell people

1160
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: all the time, you don't you don't want to rush

1161
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: past your brokeness because I look back at my broke

1162
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: stories and I laugh and they bring me so much joy. Right,

1163
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: And when I hear like the success stuff just doesn't

1164
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: do it for me as much as like eating all,

1165
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: you know, like just just my old stories. I still

1166
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: joke about, like I used to search my car to

1167
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: make a whole dollar to buy like a dollar make chicken.

1168
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 3: Like I would be like, I.

1169
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: Know, there's a quarter somewhere in this car, and I

1170
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: just need one more quarter to buy this And I

1171
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 1: joke about it now, but like those stories like make

1172
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: me so happy and know like I came from this.

1173
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: But this dish is absolutely affordable, easy to make.

1174
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be my daughter's gonna be eating this tomorrow,

1175
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 3: probably for a long time.

1176
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 1: And I love that being on this show, I'm learning

1177
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: more and more on how to make tortillas work. Yes,

1178
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: And then one last sidebar we are definitely over time

1179
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: is how do the women DJs work with each other

1180
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: behind the cameras. Are you guys supportive or you guys

1181
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: hater ish? Like I'm genuinely curious both, because there's few,

1182
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: there's only there's a very few of them.

1183
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 3: There's very few. Mmm. Sorry, I know you got a mouthful.

1184
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 2: Some are supportive and some are haters, like you just

1185
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 2: have your you have both. You know, everybody's different. But

1186
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 2: I think that with the people that have been in

1187
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 2: radio for a very long time, where we like to

1188
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 2: say like we're the vets, we're kind of like the ogs.

1189
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: We're more supportive because we have more of an understanding

1190
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 2: how crazy, how hurtful, how judgmental, this industry can be

1191
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: so we have I want to say the girls that

1192
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 2: have been in it longer have a better understanding and

1193
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 2: support each other. I think the girls that are coming up,

1194
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 2: they don't have that understanding yet because they haven't experienced

1195
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 2: certain things. So I could be a little caddy, you know.

1196
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 2: I think once they sty they learn though, and they

1197
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 2: go through it, then they understand it. But I support myself.

1198
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 2: I surround myself with a supportive network with girls that

1199
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: have been in this business, whether they're promoters their concert

1200
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 2: you know, concert throwers, or their producers, or their fashion

1201
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 2: designers you know DJs. I support my I really have

1202
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 2: a small circle, very tight, very loving, and very strong.

1203
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 2: And that's how I move through the business. A lot

1204
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,879
Speaker 2: of people know me, and a lot of people see

1205
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 2: she's so sweet. But you know what keeps me sweet

1206
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 2: on their radar? I don't. I don't. I don't out well,

1207
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: outwear my welcome. That's one thing I don't do.

1208
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:40,720
Speaker 3: Outwhear you're welcome.

1209
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: You don't. I go to an event, I'm there. I

1210
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: mingle everything. I'm out. I'm not involved in the what

1211
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 2: we like to call it cheese man. I'm not involved

1212
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 2: in gossip I'm not involved in no petty stuff.

1213
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 3: I literally like, you do your time and your out

1214
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 3: and I'm out.

1215
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 2: That's it.

1216
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 3: I make a classic yes clastic and.

1217
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm known for that. People like, oh Ce, she's in

1218
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 2: and out, and I think that's that's why a lot

1219
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 2: of artists like me too. Like when I go to events,

1220
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 2: Snoop will do stuff at the compound. We go to events,

1221
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 2: we don't outwear, are welcome. We're not the person that's

1222
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 2: sitting there and you're like, dang, they've been here for

1223
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 2: every they need to go home. Now why they're here?

1224
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 2: You know those people like that.

1225
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: You said you don't gossip because this is a very

1226
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: click clacking industry, and you're right. If you stay too

1227
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 1: long anywhere, gossip will be the conversation that comes up.

1228
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 2: It does, it really does. So if you go in,

1229
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 2: do your network, make sure you're seeing, take your pictures,

1230
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 2: what's up, you know what I mean, be very happy.

1231
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 3: Then we're out.

1232
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 2: We're good. I give myself a two hour window for everything.

1233
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, we're gonna be there for maybe an hour

1234
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 2: and a half, So it's like an hour and a

1235
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 2: half to two hours, two hours. If I'm really enjoying
