Speaker 1: Previously on the Princess of South Beach. Estraya was desperately
Speaker 1: looking for evidence to help her Unmascus Stebon and find
Speaker 1: her missing friend Gabby Luisa. I caught her red handed
Speaker 1: and was about to fire Estraya when Maria de Garment
Speaker 1: swooped in and saved the day. Well done, Sis, Listen,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you saving my ass, but to be honest,
Speaker 1: I've been pretty annoyed with you. You said you helped
Speaker 1: me investigate the guy Lens, and you keep blowing me off.
Speaker 1: I can't waste any more time, Maria. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: but there's just a lot going on and I'm still
Speaker 1: getting used to all this. I was just a naive
Speaker 1: girl in a convent, and all of a sudden I
Speaker 1: was I know, I don't need your backstory again, Jesus,
Speaker 1: I get it. You have your story, but I have
Speaker 1: mine too. I think time that I tell you what's
Speaker 1: really at stake for me. Okay, you're right. I have
Speaker 1: been a bit selfish, and it's just been so hard
Speaker 1: being out of the convent for the first time and
Speaker 1: seeing the money. You're doing it again. Sorry, go ahead
Speaker 1: and sit down. Well, the first thing you need to
Speaker 1: know about me is that I'm lactose and tomery. But
Speaker 1: the second thing you need to know about me is
Speaker 1: that I'm gay. Oh okay, that's cool. Seems unrelated, but
Speaker 1: I simply don't stop interrupting me. Sorry, it's relevant to
Speaker 1: my motivations. You know, why don't we start this story
Speaker 1: in twenty ten? Everyone was into Twilight for some reason,
Speaker 1: and Lady Gaga was wearing meat for some reason, and
Speaker 1: I was done pretending to be straight. I had known
Speaker 1: for years I was gay, ever since I saw Aliyah
Speaker 1: in the Argue That Somebody video. I was like, yea,
Speaker 1: something's going on in my panties and I was tired
Speaker 1: of being someone I wasn't. So one day I marched
Speaker 1: into my living room when my parents were playing scrabble,
Speaker 1: and I wrote out homosexual. It was a trip Award score,
Speaker 1: and after that they never played scrabble again. Yesterday, but
Speaker 1: that was awful. Did they kick you out or did
Speaker 1: they disown you? What? No, Maria, this is the twenty
Speaker 1: first century. I know that every time a gay person
Speaker 1: comes out on TV it's a tragic Lifetime special. But
Speaker 1: they were super cool with it. Actually, they said they
Speaker 1: knew since I insisted on running Bring It On like
Speaker 1: fifteen times, and every time they walked in, I was
Speaker 1: only watching the parts where they dumble. My point is
Speaker 1: they were super supportive and encouraged me to get involved
Speaker 1: in LGBTQ activism. I joined a bunch of clubs, started volunteering,
Speaker 1: and at one of the meetings I met Gabby. Oh mightya.
Speaker 1: She was so freaking cute. She had this frizzy red
Speaker 1: hair and she would always sell the corneas jokes and
Speaker 1: I would always laugh. I felt for her super hard.
Speaker 1: We dated, but she wasn't out to her parents yet,
Speaker 1: so we hung out at my place. Mostly. I kept
Speaker 1: encouraging her to come out to her parents and just
Speaker 1: live her truth or whatever. Now. Oh god, I regretted
Speaker 1: so much. She told me she was finally going to
Speaker 1: do it, and then all of a sudden, I couldn't
Speaker 1: reach her. Oh. I called for her for days and
Speaker 1: days and days and nothing. So I decided to go
Speaker 1: where I wasn't allowed to go, her parents house. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, and welcome to Tea with Tatiana. I'm back
Speaker 1: to give you the hard hitting news of the day.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, of course, we're gonna talk about our favorite
Speaker 1: royal family, the Calderons. Now we all know that Nacho
Speaker 1: Santana is very close to the Calderon's. Sources say they've
Speaker 1: seen Nacha spending lots of time at the race track,
Speaker 1: and tonight we have someone with some insider information on that.
Speaker 1: Please welcome Nacho's favorite Jackie Mon Dragon. Thanks Tatsiana. It's
Speaker 1: really exciting to be here. I usually only get this
Speaker 1: much attention after winning a race, and it's been a while. Sure,
Speaker 1: sure so, Mon Dragon, tell us, what do you know
Speaker 1: about Nacho. Well, he's very supportive of me. He's always
Speaker 1: pumping me up before a big race. When I get
Speaker 1: really nervous, he takes me for a drive in his
Speaker 1: new suv. Any chance that would be a Lincoln Aviator. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's kind of my lucky charm, you know how So Well,
Speaker 1: every time I'm headed for a race, we take a
Speaker 1: spin in the Aviator. We drive around the city and
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts and I relax with the active motion
Speaker 1: massage feature. Gives me the headspace that I need to
Speaker 1: feel centered. Then I get on the saddle and let
Speaker 1: things run as they should. And has it helped you
Speaker 1: win races? No, but having that centered headspace has helped
Speaker 1: me connect with my listeners on my podcast. Oh you
Speaker 1: have a podcast, Yes, Mandrago with the Flow. It's tips
Speaker 1: for living your best life from a successful jockey's perspective. Wait,
Speaker 1: I thought you said you haven't won a race. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, we're out of time. Well that's it for
Speaker 1: this week's show. Remember my beautiful tea lovers. Sharing is caring,
Speaker 1: But how can we care unless we post about it? Anyway?
Speaker 1: See you on the next tea with Tatiana. So I
Speaker 1: decided to go where I wasn't allowed to go, her
Speaker 1: parents house. Excuse me? Can I help you? Hi? Miss
Speaker 1: Gabby's mom. I'm Gabby's friend from school. We have chemistry together,
Speaker 1: a lot of chemistry. It's Gabby home, no, okay, because
Speaker 1: we have an assignment dude together. Do you know when
Speaker 1: she'll be home. Gabby isn't coming home for a few weeks.
Speaker 1: She's at camp camp in the middle of a school year.
Speaker 1: Not that it's any of your business, but Gabby needed
Speaker 1: to reset her priorities. She's at God's Holy light and
Speaker 1: she will be there until she gets better. Now, excuse me,
Speaker 1: I have to get dinner ready. My shrimp and grits.
Speaker 1: I knew what God's Holy Light was. I had protested
Speaker 1: in front of that awful place dozens of times. I
Speaker 1: encouraged her to come out, and then she ended up
Speaker 1: in a gay conversion therapy camp. I really don't I
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Can you explain gay conversion therapy?
Speaker 1: It's not real therapy. It's religious fanatics convincing gay kids
Speaker 1: that they're a sin. They try to convince kids that
Speaker 1: they'll never be loved or happy unless they become straight,
Speaker 1: as if it's something you can freaking choose. It's psychological torture.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't until weeks later that I finally got
Speaker 1: a letter from Gabby. You have it on you. I
Speaker 1: had a feeling we get into this today. Read it,
Speaker 1: Dearest Doris, who's Doris? Me? Remember esterday as my fake name?
Speaker 1: Your parents named you Doris. It's a family name you
Speaker 1: could keep reading. Sorry, Dearest Doris, I miss you so much.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I disappeared. I'm sure you must have been worried.
Speaker 1: I've been trapped at God's Holy Life for weeks now
Speaker 1: and they won't let me leave. It's been helen here.
Speaker 1: They took our phones they won't let us talk to
Speaker 1: our families, and they barely give us any food. The
Speaker 1: only thing that's keeping me going is knowing you're out there.
Speaker 1: But Doris, I'm scared. The other day something happened. Something
Speaker 1: happened with a very powerful person. His name is a
Speaker 1: Stevan Calderon. Keep reading, Maria. Sorry, his name is a
Speaker 1: Stevan Calderon. Doris. This man is very powerful. He's one
Speaker 1: of the people who gave money to this place. I
Speaker 1: saw him do something. I can't tell you what it is.
Speaker 1: I don't want to involve you, but I think he
Speaker 1: knows that I know his secret. And now maybe I'm
Speaker 1: just being paranoid, but I think he wants to get
Speaker 1: rid of me. Can you wait to the end to gas. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I've been reading a lot of dramatic letters lately. Now
Speaker 1: I think he wants to get rid of me. I
Speaker 1: need to get out of here. Please help me. I
Speaker 1: love you, Gabby. Oh my god. Wait, didn't that reporter
Speaker 1: at a Stevan's press conference say something about this? Yes,
Speaker 1: but I'm not done telling the story. Maria. My parents
Speaker 1: and I immediately headed to the camp to try to
Speaker 1: get her out. But when we got there. They said
Speaker 1: they had no record if anyone named Gabby ever even
Speaker 1: attending that camp, and she's been missing ever since. I
Speaker 1: spent years trying to put together the pieces. Her family
Speaker 1: refused to speak to me. They even moved away. And
Speaker 1: the only thing I knew for sure is that Estevan
Speaker 1: Cavedon had something to do with it. He knows where
Speaker 1: Gabby is. So how did you end appear? I knew
Speaker 1: the govdons were too powerful to go to the police.
Speaker 1: These people have the entire police force on their damn payroll.
Speaker 1: I had to investige it on my own and get
Speaker 1: information from the inside. And one day it came to
Speaker 1: me on a silver platter. I saw that Cassadosa had
Speaker 1: posted a one ad for a maide. So I just
Speaker 1: showed up. I can't believe I'm answering my own door.
Speaker 1: Who are you? What do you want him? I was
Speaker 1: sent from the luxury made service place, Oh Gloves Inc. Yep,
Speaker 1: White Gloves Inc. That's the one I was informed of
Speaker 1: the job hosting. It would be honored to service the
Speaker 1: illustrious house of the God that owns matter. Finally, one
Speaker 1: who knows her place? What's your name is? Today? Yesterday? Yeah?
Speaker 1: That's what I said for some reason. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: I can take a look at your resume and perhaps
Speaker 1: we do a vacuum test to see how you do
Speaker 1: come in. Thank you, man. It ended up being way
Speaker 1: easier than I thought to get in. But now I've
Speaker 1: been trapped here for three years without making any rope
Speaker 1: progress until you showed up. Wow, I've been so focused
Speaker 1: on myself. I didn't even realize her story was so
Speaker 1: flushed out. Did you think people just wake up one
Speaker 1: day seeking revenge on the most powerful people of Miami
Speaker 1: without having a robust backstory to back it up. I
Speaker 1: hadn't thought about it too much. Well, thank you for
Speaker 1: sharing all of this with me, and I promise I'll
Speaker 1: stop being so self centered and helping you with the
Speaker 1: investigation you sure you show you won't be too stracted
Speaker 1: with that hat reporter guy? What which reporter? Oh? Andres
Speaker 1: I'd forgotten about him already? You forgan about him? M No,
Speaker 1: you haven't. You're a terrible actress. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: doing a pretty good job of convincing people. I'm Gloria
Speaker 1: as if Little cis. You may think you're pulling it off,
Speaker 1: but sooner or later someone is going to catch you. Actually,
Speaker 1: it's definitely sooner. If you're enjoying Princess of South Beach,
