Speaker 1: This is he said a yavi ho with Eric Winter
Speaker 1: and Rodalin Fantaz.
Speaker 2: Hey, mister, how are you welcome back? He said a yabho.
Speaker 2: Listeners another episode of me and Eric answering questions and
Speaker 2: talking about whatever we talked about about stuff. I say.
Speaker 1: We had a lot of people that showed up a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago to Miami that were big listeners
Speaker 1: of the podcast, and they showed up to support Palm
Speaker 1: Republic and US at the signings of Total Wines. And
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you. That Miami trip
Speaker 1: was awesome. So many fans showed up and we again
Speaker 1: proved that Palm Republic is doing great things and it's
Speaker 1: moving through and Total Wines is very happy, and I
Speaker 1: just appreciate all of the fans support, and it's just
Speaker 1: becoming true, true Palm Republic support. It's not even just
Speaker 1: because of the rookie or US or anything else. So
Speaker 1: it was a great trip. Did the ron It's a Revolution,
Speaker 1: had a lot of fun. Yeah, it was great. It
Speaker 1: was great, And we have another trip now coming up.
Speaker 1: Because you know, Razin doesn't drink and a mocktail has
Speaker 1: been something on our minds for a while, so we're
Speaker 1: going to Minnesota to a distillery to do something samplings
Speaker 1: that were don't want to reveal too much.
Speaker 2: But guys, this is a true story. So for years,
Speaker 2: even before mocktails were a thing, because now I feel
Speaker 2: like it's becoming a thing.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of mocktail bars.
Speaker 2: Yes, celebrities that have mocktails. I've been talking about having
Speaker 2: a mocktail for many, many, many years, even way before
Speaker 2: Pan Republic. Par Republic just happened to come out first,
Speaker 2: and we're so blessed that he's doing fantastic. But now
Speaker 2: we finally found the distillery and the right partners, and
Speaker 2: we go to Minnesota to do the third tasting and
Speaker 2: it's going to be for flavors and it's all about
Speaker 2: fruits that are very common in Puerto Rico where I
Speaker 2: come from. I'm very excited. So I want to hear
Speaker 2: about you. Guys. Just talk talk to us about what
Speaker 2: do you feel when it comes to not drinking alcohol
Speaker 2: and having mocktails as an alternative. You know, if you
Speaker 2: want to go out and you want to feel sexy
Speaker 2: and cool and and feel like you're social but not
Speaker 2: have to drink.
Speaker 1: And in a fun way kind of like our relationship.
Speaker 1: We always talked about the fact that you can mix it, right,
Speaker 1: if you're a drinker, you can mix this and it
Speaker 1: could be a it could be a mocktail, but also
Speaker 1: it could be a mixer.
Speaker 2: I'm sure Palm Republic with a little a little splash
Speaker 2: of our mocktail is going to besh. So we just
Speaker 2: went we went to we went to a dinner in
Speaker 2: Miami with a Palm Republic group and Eric. Eric asked
Speaker 2: for a specific drink that was Palm Republic. But what
Speaker 2: was it? It was? It wasn't It wasn't all fashions.
Speaker 1: Press Martini. No, the oh the old Cuban, Cuban, old Cuban,
Speaker 1: which you swore was guava, which.
Speaker 2: I don't drink at all. And he says, just, oh
Speaker 2: my god, this is delicious. I want you to try it.
Speaker 2: And I tried that thing and it had like guava.
Speaker 2: And I told her the wag the waiter, this has
Speaker 2: guava and he's like, no, no, not at all. I'm
Speaker 2: going on, you don't understand. This has guava. And he's like, no,
Speaker 2: it was so delish.
Speaker 1: Got drunk.
Speaker 2: But because one of the mark says is going to
Speaker 2: have guava, I have. If nobody's Palm Republic drink alcohol,
Speaker 2: I know I'm gonna have. I'm gonna have to start
Speaker 2: drinking a drinking.
Speaker 1: For that old Cuban.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: That's a phenomenal drinking. I think it was brought out
Speaker 1: that little bit of a flavor and it.
Speaker 2: Tastes like well. But anyway, so we did that and
Speaker 2: then we're gonna go to Minnesota for that, and then
Speaker 2: I go to Puerto Rico to record a second music
Speaker 2: video with the leads of my movie because they're all
Speaker 2: phenomenal singers and it's going to be so much fun, guys,
Speaker 2: and what else is happening.
Speaker 1: Also for all of you that are going to be coming.
Speaker 1: I know, I know a lot of reached out about
Speaker 1: coming to meet me in France for the con when
Speaker 1: we do the signing and asking about Palm Republic. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be I'm allowed now to bring merch, So
Speaker 1: we're gonna set this up with the con where you
Speaker 1: can go on potentially it hasn't fully been flushed out yet,
Speaker 1: but be able to pick out merch what you want
Speaker 1: and I can bring it there and you can buy it,
Speaker 1: and you guys can be set up.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2: I was gonna go to France, but Eric took me
Speaker 2: out of the trip.
Speaker 1: It takes me out of the trip. You took yourself
Speaker 1: out of the trip. But it's a very quick picture.
Speaker 1: Look forward to meeting everybody I know. We have.
Speaker 2: We have a question here from actually from from France,
Speaker 2: from France. He lives in the south of France, Marion.
Speaker 2: When you're friends in real life with your co stars,
Speaker 2: does the friendship make your intimate scenes easier or more
Speaker 2: difficult to film?
Speaker 1: I think easier. I don't know. Don't you think easier.
Speaker 2: If you're friends with the person?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got all your love interests. You've been You've
Speaker 1: been friends with the most acquaintances.
Speaker 2: I have become really really good friends with some, and
Speaker 2: I have become friendly.
Speaker 1: I think it's worse if you're an enemy, if you
Speaker 1: don't get along.
Speaker 2: I don't think people say an enemy.
Speaker 1: I think if I know people first hand as actors
Speaker 1: who couldn't stand their co stars and had to be
Speaker 1: love interests, that that's probably tough and that would be pain.
Speaker 2: Like how do you do that? That would that'd be painful?
Speaker 1: I mean One thing that people don't understand is that
Speaker 1: love and hate are very powerful emotions, right, so you
Speaker 1: could literally despise your co star and fans will call
Speaker 1: it chemistry. It's notorious with the show Moonlighting that Bruce
Speaker 1: Willis and Sybil Shepherd did not get along. It happened
Speaker 1: with the best best chemistry on the planet.
Speaker 2: Same thing with Justin and and Blakely that is like
Speaker 2: the chemistry was off the charts, and apparently they don't like.
Speaker 1: To learn a lawsuit exactly. You saw that movie. I
Speaker 1: didn't see that movie.
Speaker 2: It I liked it a lot. People like talking a
Speaker 2: lot of about it.
Speaker 1: I liked it a lot. I don't know if those
Speaker 1: two truly hated each other.
Speaker 2: I think that she was very attracted to him, for sure.
Speaker 1: I think that started to develop.
Speaker 2: I think it was.
Speaker 1: But I think it's it's common knowledge that you can
Speaker 1: really care about somebody or really as a as a
Speaker 1: as a friend or not and developed and have chemistry
Speaker 1: portrayed on the screen. Because again, I think hate is
Speaker 1: a powerful emotion that people don't see the difference on screen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like you can be give me, like I said, most
Speaker 1: of your love and I think you've been friends with. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think you've ever come back to me and
Speaker 1: said you didn't like somebody.
Speaker 2: No, No, I mean I've been I've like some more
Speaker 2: than others.
Speaker 1: You've been in situations where it's been uncomfortable and it's
Speaker 1: been awkward. I think you've told me stories. You don't
Speaker 1: have to say the actor, but I feel like you've
Speaker 1: told me stories where you were uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: It's not always comfortable because I listen.
Speaker 1: Not that part of it. I'm talking about the person
Speaker 1: like they made you uncomfortable, but you had to go
Speaker 1: through with it.
Speaker 2: But you have to go through it. Listen. It's usually
Speaker 2: not comfortable, guys, even even with with somebody that you
Speaker 2: like that is a friend. It's a very intimate thing,
Speaker 2: you know, when you're like, it's not I don't know,
Speaker 2: unless you really like the person and you fancy the
Speaker 2: person sexually. You know, then I guess it's like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, it's like a free pass, you know. But
Speaker 2: for the most part, with actors, there's nothing exciting. When
Speaker 2: you have twenty.
Speaker 1: It's very uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you have so many people looking at you.
Speaker 1: Technically, even a close set, right, it's close close.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always love when they go, it's a close set.
Speaker 2: It's like it's not a yeah, it's oh, you know
Speaker 2: what I want to I wanted to bring something up.
Speaker 2: And I'm doing this very respectfully because I have a
Speaker 2: friend of mine texting me the other day saying, Bros,
Speaker 2: have you checked TikTok? They hate you, like like all
Speaker 2: the fans of the rookie. They think, I don't know
Speaker 2: what's happening with your storyline, that the breakup and going
Speaker 2: back together and the whole story about changed for getting
Speaker 2: back together or not. And it's like everybody is blaming
Speaker 2: you for them not being together because you gave your
Speaker 2: husband an ultimatum yes. And I was like, what I can,
Speaker 2: so I go and I'm gone, go, so let me
Speaker 2: just go.
Speaker 1: Do you think Ross is responsible for Ross and Rachel
Speaker 1: breaking up on friends? It happens like fans break up.
Speaker 1: I mean, couples break up all the time and guys.
Speaker 2: As I went in and I was like, let me
Speaker 2: see what they're saying, I was shocked and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, like hate hate, and I'm like, should
Speaker 2: I say something? But I know that if I engage
Speaker 2: and I answer one.
Speaker 1: You can't. And I was like you can't engage.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I cant.
Speaker 1: Been on The Rookie. Roslin's like a full supporter of
Speaker 1: the show. She's good friends with Melissa. I mean, you
Speaker 1: could not be a bigger supporter of our show. Do
Speaker 1: fans I will say this, Do fans take it too
Speaker 1: far on social media and say things that are hurtful?
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. We've talked about it before on the podcast.
Speaker 1: People have a difficult time separating acting and reality. And
Speaker 1: the reality of all this is is these are two
Speaker 1: characters that are given scripts by writers that have to
Speaker 1: act out scenes. She does it all the time Devius Maids.
Speaker 1: Her character is probably the most sexual character on that show.
Speaker 1: She was always in a romance, sleeping around doing whatever.
Speaker 1: The girl was a go get her if you will.
Speaker 1: Awesome And you know it's still acting. This is not reality.
Speaker 1: These aren't real couples. So she I can speak firsthand
Speaker 1: rather than it's been nothing but supportive of the show.
Speaker 1: It's provided me a life to live in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: be with the kids. Unfortunately, she travels a lot. She
Speaker 1: wanted to come back on The Rookie. She almost came
Speaker 1: back two different seasons. It just didn't work out with
Speaker 1: her schedule when she was doing Fantasy Island and also
Speaker 1: something else. So, I mean, guys, don't believe everything you
Speaker 1: see one.
Speaker 2: So I have never called any writer on the Rookie
Speaker 2: saying I have an issue with this. Never in my life.
Speaker 2: I will never never. It doesn't exist in my universe.
Speaker 1: TikTok also said I owned a ranch in New Zealand,
Speaker 1: which wasn't.
Speaker 2: It says all kinds of things. It's a I'm going no,
Speaker 2: but I'm reading no, guys. It really affected me and
Speaker 2: then I was like, let me just snap out of
Speaker 2: it because it is what it is. And you know,
Speaker 2: while my conscience is clear, I think, and I've said
Speaker 2: it many times, the testament of how incredible that storyline
Speaker 2: has been conducted and how it has resonated with the
Speaker 2: audience and people love it, love it. Everywhere we go,
Speaker 2: everybody loves it and that's huge, and I think that's amazing.
Speaker 2: So no, I'm assuming you guys are going to get
Speaker 2: back together. I hope I get back together. So I
Speaker 2: had to stop they stop blaming me.
Speaker 1: Yeah I can't. I mean, I can't speak to that regardless.
Speaker 1: But all I can say is that Roz had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with anything I need to.
Speaker 2: Do with the show anyway, So anyway, I would laugh
Speaker 2: at I wanted to clarify that because I'm going on
Speaker 2: this is the last thing. I mean.
Speaker 1: That is the first time I've ever heard of this.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad you did because you've never even told
Speaker 1: me that this whole incident took place.
Speaker 2: Because I had no idea. And then I looked, and
Speaker 2: I was like, should I look? And then I started
Speaker 2: looking and I was like, I'm going to pass out
Speaker 2: right now. But then, but guys, it's okay anyway.
Speaker 1: Next, I don't know if we answered your question fully, Miriam,
Speaker 1: but what was a question we did?
Speaker 2: We talked about it for a while.
Speaker 1: Next question from Andrea, who's also from France. I'm still
Speaker 1: struggling about a breakup that happened many years ago. This
Speaker 1: relationship was toxic. I was physically and verbally abused by him.
Speaker 1: I'm now thirty, still not confident about myself and it's
Speaker 1: hard to trust another man. I feel like I'm in
Speaker 1: a shell and can't feel any emotions. What would be
Speaker 1: your advice to get through this? Wow? First off, let
Speaker 1: me start by saying I'm so sorry that you could
Speaker 1: even have to go through something like this. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you raz speak to this. You have never experienced
Speaker 1: physical abuse, but I think you've been in a relationship
Speaker 1: where you felt verbally abused. Maybe you can speak to
Speaker 1: this this listener, and how to get through that when you.
Speaker 2: Is a verbal abuse, like somebody so well.
Speaker 1: Verbal verbally abused in a relationship that was toxic and
Speaker 1: now she's having trouble getting back out there and trusting
Speaker 1: men again.
Speaker 2: Listen, it's listen. I okay, let me let me let
Speaker 2: me organize my thoughts my relationship before, not boyfriend, my
Speaker 2: ex husband, because I want to make sure it was
Speaker 2: not never physical. It was never verbal to the point
Speaker 2: of like my dad, Okay, my dad is very verbally abusive.
Speaker 2: What comes out of his mouth is allowed, is just insult.
Speaker 2: It's pretty bad. What I experienced was somebody much much older,
Speaker 2: smarter than me, that it was more like emotional in
Speaker 2: terms of like maniating, manipulating, you know, and I didn't
Speaker 2: have the tools or the maturity to be able to
Speaker 2: deal with what was being done.
Speaker 1: He wasn't calling your names or screaming at you or or.
Speaker 2: Well, we will have screaming, but I'm also I'm also
Speaker 2: pretty loud and I have a bad temper, so it
Speaker 2: was a screaming badge was it was mutual because I
Speaker 2: grew up in a very volatile, bolatile up bringing, you know,
Speaker 2: where my mom my father will say something and my
Speaker 2: mom will top it and it was like a pissing context,
Speaker 2: you know. So to me having that kind of dynamic
Speaker 2: of somebody saying, what the f da da da, I'll
Speaker 2: be like, what have yeah? You know, So it was
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. So it's sad because it took
Speaker 2: a lot of people around me to tell me this
Speaker 2: is not healthy or normal. This is very toxic. And
Speaker 2: a lot of times I was like, what do you mean.
Speaker 2: It's like it's okay because it was normal to me.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It took a lot of reading and therapy books, god,
Speaker 2: you know to understand no, Russ, this is not normal.
Speaker 2: It's actually not even love. You need to break that cycle.
Speaker 2: And it's been it's been an ongoing demon battle for
Speaker 2: me throughout the years to break habits and to break
Speaker 2: cycles and to be like, I don't want to be
Speaker 2: in a relationship like my parents have, and listen, I
Speaker 2: feel bad because both of my parents are alive, and
Speaker 2: my mom listens to this podcast, doesn't understand a lot
Speaker 2: because her English is not great, And I don't want
Speaker 2: to hurt her because my mom did and it's still
Speaker 2: doing the best she could and she can given her circumstances,
Speaker 2: you know, and as a mom, she's incredible.
Speaker 1: So so the.
Speaker 2: Advice listen, you need to you need to snap out
Speaker 2: of it. And it's brutal to understand to go through physical, verbal,
Speaker 2: emotional abuse, but you owe it to yourself to break
Speaker 2: the cycle, and you owe it to yourself to love
Speaker 2: yourself enough to understand it wasn't your fault. This was
Speaker 2: an experience that life has given you because you need
Speaker 2: to learn something. When you're in it, it's so cloudy,
Speaker 2: so muddy, you don't get it. Even post being in it.
Speaker 2: It takes a long time to realize there's a learning
Speaker 2: that I need to that I need to pay attention here.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's about yourself to become stronger, become more assertive,
Speaker 2: to respect yourself enough to know I did not deserve that.
Speaker 2: It's not my fault. I'm gonna have to move on
Speaker 2: and listen, listen. I just went to this man that
Speaker 2: is a healer, and he said, people get so caught
Speaker 2: up with the past and the future, and the reality
Speaker 2: is that none of that is real. The pass is done.
Speaker 2: The future you have no control. It's always about the present.
Speaker 2: And if you're able to get out of it, because
Speaker 2: you know it takes women many, many years. But if
Speaker 2: you're strong enough and smart enough and courageous enough to
Speaker 2: be like, I am breaking out of this and I'm
Speaker 2: going to go solo, you have to find it in
Speaker 2: You have to change that channel and understand, this happened
Speaker 2: to me. It doesn't define me. It doesn't mean that
Speaker 2: it's going to happen again. And now I have the
Speaker 2: clarity and the awareness to recognize recognize the signs. So
Speaker 2: when the other dude comes into your life, because you
Speaker 2: went through it, the check marks are going to be
Speaker 2: so evident. You know. It's like, is what happened to me.
Speaker 2: I had to go through what I went through to
Speaker 2: understand I don't want to be in love with my dad.
Speaker 2: I married my dad, so I don't want and I
Speaker 2: never respected it, so I don't want that. So it
Speaker 2: took me going through it to know, Okay, oh I
Speaker 2: get it, this is not what I want for me,
Speaker 2: and then the next relationship was a little better, and
Speaker 2: then the other one was glorious. And he's the one
Speaker 2: that prepared me for Eric, because by the time I
Speaker 2: met Eric, I had already I broke the cycle, and
Speaker 2: I knew exactly you know what, I know what good
Speaker 2: love is. I know that there doesn't It doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be about disrespect or competition or jealousy or or anything.
Speaker 2: It has to be about seeing this man thrive with
Speaker 2: me and next to me. And it took again. Listen,
Speaker 2: therapy is important, reading, reading, reading, reading, I had I
Speaker 2: read so many books at Giane lavan zandt is A.
Speaker 2: It's an incredible writer that it was instrumental for me
Speaker 2: to be able to break the cycle. So that's my advice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well said I mean Andrew. I think she summed
Speaker 1: it all up. Put you owe to yourself to find
Speaker 1: your love that's real and important to you.
Speaker 2: So and pay attention to the signs because people manifest
Speaker 2: themselves day one. The problem is that we just don't
Speaker 2: want to We don't want to see it because you're
Speaker 2: physically attracted to the person, because you think is because
Speaker 2: you all habits come back and you're like, Oh, he's
Speaker 2: so jealous. Oh, my god, he loves me. Be very
Speaker 2: shrewd Is that a word? Very shrewd? About recognizing the
Speaker 2: signs they will reveal themselves in day one. I look
Speaker 2: at a mannerism, a conversation, a word. It's pretty evident,
Speaker 2: Pretty evident. You just have to just open those eyes.
Speaker 2: Just open those eyes.
Speaker 1: Well said. We're going to our last listener question from Kate. Hello,
Speaker 1: I'm fourteen. I have a question. My parents have always
Speaker 1: been strict on the no boy's rule, not even guy friends.
Speaker 1: There is this guy that has liked me for three years,
Speaker 1: and I've secretly liked him and just recently told him.
Speaker 1: I also told my parents. I also told him my
Speaker 1: parents wouldn't allow it, and he said he would wait
Speaker 1: until I was ready. But I've realized over the past
Speaker 1: few days how much I like him. Should I date
Speaker 1: in secret or risk making him wait to respect my parents' wishes. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a tough and very real question. I'll give
Speaker 1: you my two cents rather as you could chime in.
Speaker 1: I believe in facing your parents with honesty and truth.
Speaker 1: I don't know your full dynamic with your parents. I
Speaker 1: think dating in secret can be very complicated and could
Speaker 1: come back to really be harmful in a situation, maybe
Speaker 1: for the two of you, maybe for your relationship with
Speaker 1: your parents, and I think you'll never get the full
Speaker 1: experience of that relationship. You don't like the guy, why no,
Speaker 1: any guy. She's not allowed to there's no boy rule.
Speaker 2: How old is she?
Speaker 1: Fourteen? OK? Have you been here for any of this conversation?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. So, Katie, what I would say, or Kate,
Speaker 1: what I would say is if again I don't hear
Speaker 1: a dynamic, but if it's possible to talk to your parents.
Speaker 1: I know that probably sounds scary as heck, just sharing
Speaker 1: with them. You don't have to make it specific about
Speaker 1: this boy, but just in general about this concept of
Speaker 1: no boys and how it makes you feel. How you
Speaker 1: feel a little bit trapped, and you don't want to
Speaker 1: go against their wishes, and you don't want to do
Speaker 1: anything behind their back. You want to be honest, and
Speaker 1: you want to have an open relationship with your parents
Speaker 1: that you can share how you're feeling. Maybe start with
Speaker 1: that and just see if little by little you can
Speaker 1: get them to open up to the idea that you
Speaker 1: might have a.
Speaker 2: Guy friend and Listen. I think for any kid that
Speaker 2: is fourteen that has very mature parents that challenge that
Speaker 2: are so strict, I'm assuming that it is nerve wracking
Speaker 2: for you to say I'm just going to have an
Speaker 2: adult conversation with my parents. But I think it's super
Speaker 2: crucial that you actually go over and say, guys, I
Speaker 2: need to be very honest with you, and I hope
Speaker 2: you I want to do it with love and with respect,
Speaker 2: and I hope you understand me. So just hear me
Speaker 2: out and say, I know we have strict rules and
Speaker 2: you guys don't want me dating nobody anytime soon. But
Speaker 2: I think at my age, all my friends, it's very
Speaker 2: normal that we start liking boys. And I don't want
Speaker 2: to do anything behind your back. So it's your choice.
Speaker 1: But I also feel like there's a compromise here in
Speaker 1: a way. Listen, I will give a lot of kudos
Speaker 1: to this young man that you're talking with us at school,
Speaker 1: because he told you wait for you, and you guys
Speaker 1: are very young, so the fact that he's being that
Speaker 1: patient is incredible for him. So maybe there's even a
Speaker 1: compromise where you're sharing with your parents. Listen, I'm not
Speaker 1: asking to have quote, you know, full blown dates with
Speaker 1: this person.
Speaker 2: I don't want to have secrets.
Speaker 1: I don't want to have secrets. But if there's somebody
Speaker 1: that I like and I want to get to know
Speaker 1: more as a friend, it would be great if you
Speaker 1: two could establish that, whether it's over the phone, whether
Speaker 1: it's going to a movie with other friends or dinner
Speaker 1: with other friends, or whatever that case may be, even
Speaker 1: if it's just with your parents going and hanging out
Speaker 1: but there's obviously no they don't have to even hold hands,
Speaker 1: but just getting being allowed to get to know the
Speaker 1: person better since he already has the patience to wait.
Speaker 1: I feel like you could find the middle ground where
Speaker 1: you're not in a full blown relationship but you're allowed
Speaker 1: to get to know somebody better.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to talk to them, I think, and listen,
Speaker 2: they're going to be shocked, but I think behind closed doors,
Speaker 2: your parents are going to be incredibly impressed by you
Speaker 2: that you took the time to actually go over and say, guys, please,
Speaker 2: I don't want to have secrets from you. I don't
Speaker 2: want to keep secrets from you. I don't want to
Speaker 2: do anything against your will. I don't want to be grounded.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. I don't want you, I
Speaker 2: don't want you guys to be mad at me. But
Speaker 2: there's this person that is very respectful that I want.
Speaker 2: I would like for you guys to even meet. And
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that I want to be boyfriend boyfriend girlfriend,
Speaker 2: but I don't want to feel restricted because this is
Speaker 2: what happens. And this is what parents have to understand.
Speaker 2: The more they tell you no, the more curious you're
Speaker 2: going to be. And I think it's very typical for
Speaker 2: a teenager when the parents say no, we don't like
Speaker 2: that guy. You're like, h but I think I like him.
Speaker 2: And the more they tell you no, the more you're
Speaker 2: gonna like him. It's almost like it's crazy. It's like
Speaker 2: human nature exactly if they say no. Like I was,
Speaker 2: I was fifteen. I think it was Miki signerro Rade.
Speaker 2: It's the point I was. I think it was maybe
Speaker 2: sixteen and a half and I like this kid in
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico and my mom was it's a no, it's
Speaker 2: a no. The guy was not allowed to even be
Speaker 2: near our street for whatever reason. My mom was like,
Speaker 2: he's a bad seed. No, no, no. It was brutal
Speaker 2: and I liked him, but it's not like I was like,
Speaker 2: I like him. But the second she said that, I
Speaker 2: was like, now I really like him. And it was
Speaker 2: a year and a half of hell. And you know
Speaker 2: what I did. I did it secretly.
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, I'm sure did make it not
Speaker 1: work out. And it's complicated, but it was.
Speaker 2: It was massy, it was it was ridiculous and and
Speaker 2: and I and I often think about it because I
Speaker 2: just go, wow, this is crazy that that my mom
Speaker 2: put me through that, And when it would happen as
Speaker 2: easy as like, yeah, let me let me meet him,
Speaker 2: but for whatever reason, she was like, my mom was
Speaker 2: really good. She did it a lot. You know, my
Speaker 2: mom has a third eye, so my mom was very
Speaker 2: very specific about who she thought was going to enter
Speaker 2: her kingdom or not. But then what happened. She pushed
Speaker 2: me to do it behind her back and it was
Speaker 2: so unnecessary, so unnecessary. So just talk to your parents.
