Speaker 1: I'm Honey German. My parents are Dominican. I was born
Speaker 1: and raised in New York City. I love sneakers and
Speaker 1: I'm a body positive advocate. I'm Carolina Bermudez, but i
Speaker 1: was born and raised in Ohio. I'm a wife, a mama,
Speaker 1: and a worker being. This is life in English. Winos
Speaker 1: and hello, my beautiful people. Well, I don't know about beautiful.
Speaker 1: I am not feeling so great. I sound a little different,
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm a little I'm a little shiny
Speaker 1: right now. I got that after virus glow. Listen, it
Speaker 1: looks like a facial glow. It really doesn't it does. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Yes, yeah, we are back and we are
Speaker 1: ready to go. Right, I'm well fired up. It's a
Speaker 1: Monday morning when we're recording this, so it's like week reset,
Speaker 1: ready to go. Well, I was looking forward to talking
Speaker 1: to you because we didn't get to see each other
Speaker 1: at the end of last week, which was when I
Speaker 1: got the virus from my son, who we now affectionately
Speaker 1: called the germs after the germ he got us so
Speaker 1: sick in the entire family. Did you put him in
Speaker 1: some type of suit? We would have put them in
Speaker 1: a bubble if we could have, but there's like you know,
Speaker 1: child protection and stuff like. No, we were all just
Speaker 1: so sick and laid up over the weekend. But um,
Speaker 1: I was thinking about all of the things that I
Speaker 1: have on my plate, and I was saying to myself,
Speaker 1: like I had to give up going to Fiesta Latino,
Speaker 1: which we normally together. Yes, yeah, And um, I said
Speaker 1: to my husband about this, there's a reason why I'm
Speaker 1: not meant to be there. There's always a reason why
Speaker 1: you believe that. I believe that I do. And and
Speaker 1: normally I would be the type of person that would
Speaker 1: say like no, I would force it. I would have
Speaker 1: to get there. I would. Now, I think later on
Speaker 1: in my life now that I feel like I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit more settled and I didn't think a little
Speaker 1: more confident. I feel comfortable with saying I can't do that.
Speaker 1: And that's huge because people tend to overextend themselves and
Speaker 1: some of us are people pleasers, including me. It's like
Speaker 1: I want to I want to say yes to everything.
Speaker 1: I want to make everyone happy. But then I kind
Speaker 1: of came to the conclusion that I'm like gold On,
Speaker 1: I can't do it. All these people have no problems
Speaker 1: which shut I meet down. But seven, I'm serving a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people for things that serve no purpose
Speaker 1: in my life. But is it difference between work and home?
Speaker 1: Because I'll tell you one thing. My mother bless her heart.
Speaker 1: I love my mom. She is one of my very
Speaker 1: best She is my best friend. But I can't say
Speaker 1: no to my mom, really no, I can't. She just
Speaker 1: so my dad is having a surprise seventy fifth birthday party.
Speaker 1: And my mom's like, Ahama, And I'm like, okay, so
Speaker 1: what does this mean? This means I have to do everything?
Speaker 1: Of course, She's like, oh, it's just gonna be a
Speaker 1: little dinner. I'm like a little dinner and she's like yeah,
Speaker 1: but um necessity, Loma said in lard or no lancho.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where this thing is. And she's
Speaker 1: like giving me all the details. And I said to her,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, Mom, like, what do you want me
Speaker 1: to do? Now? I have this on my plan. Now
Speaker 1: you have to now I now I have to go
Speaker 1: to Fiesta Latina. I have to party plan for my
Speaker 1: dad's seventy fifth birthday. I have to party plan for
Speaker 1: my brother's fiftieth birthday because my sister in law put
Speaker 1: that on my plate. I had to buy a gift
Speaker 1: for my mom and dad, which I can't say it
Speaker 1: right now because it's a huge surprise. I'm the youngest
Speaker 1: of six. Everybody put that on me now. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: It is crazy. And that's the one thing I think.
Speaker 1: As women, it is so difficult to say no. It's
Speaker 1: terribly difficult. Especially sometimes we feel like if you say no,
Speaker 1: it's a sign of weakness. It's like, can you help
Speaker 1: me with this? And no, Um, she must be really
Speaker 1: overwhelmed that she really can't help me. But it's like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't want to. That's not something that I'm interested
Speaker 1: in or am I going to I'm going to benefit
Speaker 1: from it, And it's been really hard for me to
Speaker 1: do that. I've been kind of like a people pleaser
Speaker 1: when it comes to work and when it comes to
Speaker 1: my family life. It's like I say yes to every invitation.
Speaker 1: I say yes to weddings that are abroad, and lately
Speaker 1: I've been you know, just scaling back and be like, honey,
Speaker 1: how is this going to help you? How does this
Speaker 1: benefit you? And if it doesn't, please feel free to
Speaker 1: say no. But don't you think that people sometimes will
Speaker 1: interpret that as um selfishness. Yeah, but you're saying no
Speaker 1: because it doesn't because to them it's not benefiting them.
Speaker 1: Then you're a selfish person. Yeah, but you're trying to
Speaker 1: use me. You're you're started this selfish ship. You're the
Speaker 1: one that kicked off. So it's like, yeah, you want
Speaker 1: to use me, and I'm not gonna let you. Well,
Speaker 1: I just I think that, as I said before, as
Speaker 1: I've gotten you know, I think a little bit more
Speaker 1: experience and um, as I've gone on in life, it's
Speaker 1: been easier for me to say no. But not in
Speaker 1: my personal life, not in your family life is really difficult.
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of like I don't even
Speaker 1: know if I want to call it the Latina guilt
Speaker 1: or if it's like your family guilt. But I just
Speaker 1: feel like I have to be there for my family,
Speaker 1: for the people who have been there for me, even
Speaker 1: if it does make me have like a nervous breakdown,
Speaker 1: or you know, even if I feel like I have
Speaker 1: like the world crashing in on me. But I feel
Speaker 1: like it's um, it's incredibly difficult to say no to
Speaker 1: the people who matter to me. And not that the
Speaker 1: people who I work with don't matter, but it's just
Speaker 1: easier for me to say no to them. Can I
Speaker 1: say this um? For me, it's gotten to the point
Speaker 1: that I don't say no to the people that matter
Speaker 1: to me and my family because I never want them
Speaker 1: to feel like I am removed, or I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm better than in them, or I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: more successful than them just because we're on the radio
Speaker 1: and just because I'm a media personality. So it's just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we want to go have mo Fongle in Queens on
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, and all your cousins are gonna be there.
Speaker 1: I'm going to make it a point to go, because
Speaker 1: I never want to be viewed in the family as
Speaker 1: like you think you're better than us, but I don't
Speaker 1: have the time. But meanwhile, you're expected to be at
Speaker 1: a book signing for one of your friends, or you
Speaker 1: are the work responsibility that you have to be, but
Speaker 1: you try to make it all happen. And this is
Speaker 1: something that I've been discussing with my girlfriends. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that when you're younger, you have this opinion
Speaker 1: or you have this idea that if you say no
Speaker 1: that's the last time they're ever going to ask me,
Speaker 1: or that's the last chance I'll ever get. Don't feel
Speaker 1: that way. Don't feel that way, But there are people
Speaker 1: that are like that. I do hear people behind the
Speaker 1: scenes that are like such. Anything ever again, because women
Speaker 1: can be patty, even towards the women that they love,
Speaker 1: I see. I think that's so unfair, though, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it is unfair, and I know I can't
Speaker 1: say that I haven't done it myself, but I think
Speaker 1: that we don't give each other enough of a break,
Speaker 1: or you don't put yourself in somebody else's shoes. And
Speaker 1: when you visually see how someone moves and they have
Speaker 1: a home and they have children, and they have a husband,
Speaker 1: and they have a job, you, as someone in their
Speaker 1: inner circle, it's your responsibility to be more understanding and
Speaker 1: to if I say, no, I had a really long
Speaker 1: day and then I had to go home and I
Speaker 1: had to cook for my husband and I had to
Speaker 1: clean my home. No, I cannot come out now for
Speaker 1: drinks because I'm physically drained. I can't do it. So
Speaker 1: it's it's like a give and take. It's like your
Speaker 1: your close ones have to understand and you have to
Speaker 1: be able to say no, yeah, but you also I
Speaker 1: feel like you have that responsibility to follow through too.
Speaker 1: On the flip side, you can't just be saying no, no,
Speaker 1: no all the time and expect people to still extend
Speaker 1: those invitations or just be as receptive to it. You know,
Speaker 1: within me, it's like, give me time. If you would
Speaker 1: tell me six months in advance, listen, this is my
Speaker 1: baby shower, I would make sure that I don't book
Speaker 1: any appearances. I'll make sure I don't. I don't say
Speaker 1: I'm going to come to work and edit some audio,
Speaker 1: like I'll make sure I give you that date. But
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't. A lot of people like, hey, Friday,
Speaker 1: do you want to meet up for drinks? I'm in town.
Speaker 1: It's like, can I screenshot you my Friday? Can exactly?
Speaker 1: Do you want to see what my Friday looks like?
Speaker 1: Because you don't, like, you do not want to see it.
Speaker 1: So there's this great article and it talked about how
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs they the one word that they have learned how
Speaker 1: to say is the word no, and it's made them
Speaker 1: more successful. And I thought, thinking back to when I
Speaker 1: was in my twenties, I didn't say no to anything.
Speaker 1: I did not say no to anything, and it was
Speaker 1: because I had that mentality if I say no, I'll
Speaker 1: never get invited back. If I say no, they'll have
Speaker 1: another girl come and do what I do, because there's
Speaker 1: you know, a million other girls that want to be
Speaker 1: on the radio or want to be on TV. And
Speaker 1: so I really drove myself into this kind of rut
Speaker 1: of never saying no. But when you don't say no,
Speaker 1: you don't give yourself time to grow. Hold on I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pause on that for a second, because seriously, if
Speaker 1: you don't say no, you don't get to cultivate that talent.
Speaker 1: You don't get to sit with who you are, your thoughts,
Speaker 1: you don't get to expand so you're just going, going, going,
Speaker 1: You're like a jack of all trades, master of none.
Speaker 1: And that's really how I feel like I lived my
Speaker 1: twenties a lot of that time because I was just
Speaker 1: trying to beat everything, do everything, be everywhere, and then
Speaker 1: it stopped, you know, and you took control of your life.
Speaker 1: It was just like, Okay, this is what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do in this but I'm not. I'm still kind of
Speaker 1: like in the middle. You know. It's like I came
Speaker 1: into my job in radio and in media, you know, recently,
Speaker 1: like the past five years, and at the beginning, I
Speaker 1: was just doing everything anything. I was working forty fifty
Speaker 1: sixty hours whatever you guys needed me to work. I
Speaker 1: which is so grateful that I even got into the industry.
Speaker 1: That's the problem that I was just like, oh no,
Speaker 1: I'm never saying no, what if I get fired, what
Speaker 1: if they realized like maybe she shouldn't even be here.
Speaker 1: And for the past few years I have been saying
Speaker 1: yes to everything. I'm still not where you are, but
Speaker 1: I aspire to be, I know, I really do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that we're in two different and that's the
Speaker 1: reason why I love doing this podcast with you is
Speaker 1: because you know, you're in a different phase of your
Speaker 1: career than I am, you know. And it's not that
Speaker 1: I don't love where I am, but it's just your
Speaker 1: I'm seeing you come up on things that I experienced
Speaker 1: early on in my career, and I'm seeing you do
Speaker 1: them with such grace and such you know, poise, And
Speaker 1: there were there was nobody back in the day when
Speaker 1: I was coming up that I could even ask, like,
Speaker 1: am I supposed to keep on doing these TV appearances
Speaker 1: for free, like what do I do? You know? Unluckily
Speaker 1: I do have that, like I do have that with you.
Speaker 1: I do have that. I can go to Charlotte Maagne,
Speaker 1: I can ask I can even ask people like how
Speaker 1: much should I charge for a tweets? So it's like
Speaker 1: I'm super grateful for that. I'm not even gonna lie
Speaker 1: to you because if I didn't have all these people
Speaker 1: to ask, like, hey, should I be getting paid for
Speaker 1: like disappearance? And they're like absolutely yes, you know under
Speaker 1: union rules. And I can only imagine not having anybody
Speaker 1: to ask all these questions. I didn't I and as
Speaker 1: a woman, I think it's harder to say no. And
Speaker 1: it took my husband. See my mentor honestly was they've
Speaker 1: all been men. The two eyes that I learned radio
Speaker 1: from the Baker Boys. I always was I was able
Speaker 1: to go to them for any type of advice. I
Speaker 1: knew that they would always look out for me and
Speaker 1: tell me like not what I wanted to hear about,
Speaker 1: what the truth was. And my husband, who's a financial planner,
Speaker 1: I would go to him because he was all I had.
Speaker 1: You know, my girlfriends don't work in this industry. My
Speaker 1: girlfriends don't understand the pressure or you know, if I
Speaker 1: say no to going to this one TV show, is
Speaker 1: that producer going to talk to another producer and then
Speaker 1: now I'm blocked from every TV show. And so my
Speaker 1: husband was really the one that said, you know what, Curly,
Speaker 1: and he's like, say no, tell them my time is
Speaker 1: worth something. I need to get paid or you're going
Speaker 1: to pay for a car and you're gonna because I
Speaker 1: was paid for my own car to get to these
Speaker 1: places and kids because I was just so hungry. You
Speaker 1: were so hungry and I know it, and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to lose the opportunity. So there's a big difference
Speaker 1: between saying no and being diva about it, or saying
Speaker 1: no and knowing your worth. And this is the thing,
Speaker 1: is like, if these people are making money, you should
Speaker 1: also be making money. It's like I say no a
Speaker 1: lot when people invite me to do club appearances. Club appearances,
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, come and I will set you up
Speaker 1: in a table. I'm like, yeah, but you're making a
Speaker 1: whole lot of money. Why am I making a bottle?
Speaker 1: I can buy a bottle at the liquor store and
Speaker 1: drinking with my husband under the blankets. So now my
Speaker 1: position is like, don't say yes to anything that benefits
Speaker 1: someone else and doesn't benefit you, And that's usually a
Speaker 1: good gauge of how you can say no to work
Speaker 1: related things. Family is different. You know, family, they're gonna
Speaker 1: Family is always gonna guilt you into something. Everybody needs something,
Speaker 1: you know, like make me a sun coach. You have
Speaker 1: to work on a Tuesday. Sure it takes eight hours,
Speaker 1: but I'll make it for you. We'll eat it at
Speaker 1: two am. Family is different, but with work, that's how
Speaker 1: I gauge things. It's like, before I make a decision
Speaker 1: on saying yes or now, how does this benefit me?
Speaker 1: Does it benefit them and not me? Does it benefit
Speaker 1: us equally? It's like, unless it's charity work, please don't
Speaker 1: ask me to work for free if you're getting paid.
Speaker 1: And that's a super easy way to gauge things. Especially
Speaker 1: as women, we tend to like give away our free
Speaker 1: time and stay later. It's like, yeah, you want me
Speaker 1: to come to this appearance, but there's no transportation. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll take the train in heels and address no problem.
Speaker 1: And then you get there and people are pulling up
Speaker 1: in trucks because they demanded service. Exactly. I was on
Speaker 1: the freaking bus from Hoboken to Port Authority, Port Authority
Speaker 1: to a cab and then I'm like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: how am I fifty bucks out? Now? You know, going
Speaker 1: to a TV appearance over at X network and you're
Speaker 1: getting me for free and I'm not getting paid anything.
Speaker 1: And yeah, people are like, oh wow, I recognize you
Speaker 1: from that show. And I'm like, yeah, but I didn't
Speaker 1: get paid a dime. I lost money, yes, exactly. And
Speaker 1: I understand like when you're when you're getting started, you're
Speaker 1: going to take all these opportunities You're You're just grateful
Speaker 1: to be on TV. It's like you want me to
Speaker 1: pay you for me to be on TV? Part though, honey,
Speaker 1: isn't it a hard part? It is super hard? And
Speaker 1: it's like I'm there now. But I'm kind of like
Speaker 1: coming to the realization that it's just like, Okay, you
Speaker 1: he year, you're established, you're talented, you're hired. To stop stressing.
Speaker 1: Stop thinking that this can to be taken away from
Speaker 1: you at any moment, or that if you don't comply
Speaker 1: or say yes to every single thing, your career is
Speaker 1: going to be over like it was. It doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen that way. But you're very fearful at
Speaker 1: the beginning. It's like you don't want to say no
Speaker 1: to big bosses, you don't want to say no to opportunities,
Speaker 1: and then what happens is you end up burning yourself out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's so true. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's so funny that Honey still gets asked to go
Speaker 1: to clubs. I don't nobody asked me to go to anything.
Speaker 1: I get asked to go to a kids club. That's
Speaker 1: pretty much it. I don't know. I don't do appearances
Speaker 1: anymore because it's just so difficult for me to manage
Speaker 1: that in my family schedule. Like I always tell people
Speaker 1: from six to ten am, I'm on the air. After
Speaker 1: that I turned into like I am a full time
Speaker 1: stay at home mom after that, you know, and I
Speaker 1: have to find a way to juggle whatever my responsibilities
Speaker 1: are for the station and you know, my career. But
Speaker 1: my kids converse, so they do they do it. It
Speaker 1: also allow of moms and a lot of women, even
Speaker 1: though you're not in media, your jobs will pull you
Speaker 1: in different directions. They will ask you to work over time.
Speaker 1: How do you tell your boss you don't want to
Speaker 1: stay more than eight hours at your job because you
Speaker 1: have a life afterwards. Yeah. No, you know it's so
Speaker 1: funny too, because I have this really amazing group of
Speaker 1: mom friends that I made, like on Long Island. I
Speaker 1: didn't know anybody when I moved out there, and so
Speaker 1: I had to kind of like form my own little community.
Speaker 1: I would want to be your friend. Where the bad moms?
Speaker 1: Where where the cane? You got to tell me? It
Speaker 1: was so funny. Lauren, my one friend, she forgot what
Speaker 1: time her daughter's Halloween parade was. No, he was so sad.
Speaker 1: She showed up, literally, she was like the last person.
Speaker 1: She saw them all like marching back. She pushed her
Speaker 1: and she was like, wait a minute, I missed. She
Speaker 1: missed missed it so that she had to like tell
Speaker 1: her daughter, Oh, mommy was in the back. I saw everything.
Speaker 1: And then she felt so guilty. But that's the thing,
Speaker 1: is like you're being pulled in eighteen different directions. She
Speaker 1: doesn't work in media, you know, she's she she has
Speaker 1: her own company, and it's like, how do you managed
Speaker 1: to tell your daughter you didn't see her on Halloween?
Speaker 1: You know, it's like all of these things that you
Speaker 1: have to kind of like come up with to just
Speaker 1: make it happen. So it isn't just people like us
Speaker 1: that work, you know, in television and radio. It's the
Speaker 1: moms that work as nurses. It's the moms that go
Speaker 1: to their jobs as you know, executive assistance. And you know,
Speaker 1: you get all of these responsibilities just like handed to you.
Speaker 1: How do you manage that? And I think it's like
Speaker 1: you have to try to finesse your way out of
Speaker 1: a lot of like sticky situations. Yeah. Especially you can
Speaker 1: have a boss, you know at Let's say my friend
Speaker 1: she works at an optical and she works every single
Speaker 1: day and she works to like seven pm, and she
Speaker 1: has kids, and I tell her sometimes when she's like
Speaker 1: I have to go in tomorrow. Somebody called out, like
Speaker 1: why didn't you say no? Yeah? Yeah, but she's like
Speaker 1: I can't, you know, and I'm like say no. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that if there's anything to to like kind
Speaker 1: of leave people with like a note of um perhaps confidence,
Speaker 1: you know, it's saying no one time might be the
Speaker 1: thing that you need to set yourself apart. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it might be you you set a boundary and you
Speaker 1: bolso already knows no, she has kids, or she has
Speaker 1: to go to school, or I can do it this
Speaker 1: one time, but please, I'm so sorry on Saturday's my daughter,
Speaker 1: my son, my you know whatever. My nephew has soccer
Speaker 1: and I'm I've committed to help him this season. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like letting people know. And I think in certain
Speaker 1: terms too. I mean, you always have to do it
Speaker 1: like we've said, you know, with um, you know, with
Speaker 1: with grace and you know, just tell them, just be like, look,
Speaker 1: I really want to help you out of a jam,
Speaker 1: but um, after this, I really can't do this, you know.
Speaker 1: And then that exactly exactly. So I feel like saying
Speaker 1: no to my boss has gotten slightly easier for me
Speaker 1: as the years have gone on, only because I think
Speaker 1: he's starting to understand who I am outside of here.
Speaker 1: So that's the things that are important to you. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like I love my job, I love being here,
Speaker 1: but I love my kids, I love my husband, I
Speaker 1: love my home. Is it okay if I go put
Speaker 1: my tree up? Like these also are very important things
Speaker 1: in life memory and if you never verse say no,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have these these pockets of times to create,
Speaker 1: you know, amazing memories with your family. I just think
Speaker 1: it's so funny how we're sitting here and we're talking
Speaker 1: about how you know you've got to say no to
Speaker 1: this person, you have to say no to that person.
Speaker 1: Do you ever say no to your husband? I try,
Speaker 1: but listen, he'll wear me down. He won't stop. He's relentless.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna I'm not even gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1: He'll be like, um, can we go. Let's say to
Speaker 1: this car show. I'll be like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: go to that. So you're really not gonna go to
Speaker 1: the car show? No, I told you I'm not going
Speaker 1: to go to that, all right, So I guess I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to this car show alone. Okay, what time
Speaker 1: is the car show? I'm wearing sneakers. Don't expect me
Speaker 1: to be sexy or don't expect me cute wearing a hoodie.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing sneakers and I'll go with you later on.
Speaker 1: She looks adorable and she got her sneakers on Instagram photo. Okay, everybody,
Speaker 1: you already it's hard to say no to my husband.
Speaker 1: And why because he lives with me. He's relentless and um,
Speaker 1: he just won't back off. Like at work, people will
Speaker 1: be like, okay, not a problem. This man will like
Speaker 1: wake up like yeah, so today is a car show.
Speaker 1: What are we doing. I'm like, okay, let's just do it.
Speaker 1: Let's just do it. And this is the thing that
Speaker 1: is so interesting about Honey and I is that like
Speaker 1: we are just completely the opposite. It's like we're living
Speaker 1: parallel lives that they're so opposite. Because it's like I
Speaker 1: can never say no to my husband because he asked
Speaker 1: for so little. Mark. No, I'm telling you, Mark is
Speaker 1: the most. He's an only child. Okay, so let me
Speaker 1: just set that up, okay, because it's not he is
Speaker 1: an only child. He's super independent. He is self sufficient.
Speaker 1: I don't do his laundry. I don't make his meals
Speaker 1: like I mean, I make dinner every night, you know,
Speaker 1: but like he'll eat, I'll go over like you know,
Speaker 1: like my mom will always say, like go over, make
Speaker 1: him his plate, and he'll say, no, I got it.
Speaker 1: You know. He's just super independent. So I know that
Speaker 1: when Mark asked me for something, it's important. So he
Speaker 1: saves his requests. So in January. I can't even I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, in January, we're going to the Monster Truck
Speaker 1: Show with our kids, something I swore I would never do.
Speaker 1: I said exactly, and he know, he was like, um, babe,
Speaker 1: so can we go to this one show? And I'm
Speaker 1: like what show? I'm like thinking to myself, like who,
Speaker 1: what show do you want to go to? You didn't
Speaker 1: ask me, and he's like, I really think it would
Speaker 1: be great for the boys. I'm like, what are you
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm thinking myself Disney on Ice, like you
Speaker 1: know what is it. It's the Monster Truck Rally Show
Speaker 1: or something. And I said, dude, you're out of your mind.
Speaker 1: And he's like, there's these four great tickets are right
Speaker 1: up front. I go, oh, perfect, you've already Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 1: So we're going to the Monster Truck Show in January,
Speaker 1: which I will let you guys all know about. So
Speaker 1: CARDI would say footages for everybody. And this just goes
Speaker 1: to show you that I cannot say no no. My
Speaker 1: husband is relentless. Bro. We'll be laying in the like,
Speaker 1: can you give me juice? I'm like I'll be like no,
Speaker 1: I'm not getting up. Please no, please, no, please, okay, please,
Speaker 1: let me just go get the juice. Let me just
Speaker 1: go get the jews. We have a weird dynamic. He
Speaker 1: wears me down. Yeah, but I think that that's the thing.
Speaker 1: It's like when you're in a relationship with somebody and
Speaker 1: you truly do care about them, you make it work
Speaker 1: for it a little bit, and then after you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, I got you. All right, fine, I'll get
Speaker 1: you a piece of chocolate. I am not going down
Speaker 1: to the second floor um Deli. We have in our
Speaker 1: building though, that is that is where that's where you
Speaker 1: draw the line exactly. Well. You know, we want you
Speaker 1: guys to tell us about the last time you've had
Speaker 1: to say no or what makes it difficult for you
Speaker 1: to say no, So definitely email us. We have an
Speaker 1: email address. It's Life and Spanglish podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: And then, um, honey, you have the socials because you're
Speaker 1: like the social girl. Yes, you can follow us. We
Speaker 1: have um l I Spanglish on Twitter and Instagram and
Speaker 1: we also have a Facebook so you can go like us.
Speaker 1: That's um Life and Spanglish and let's stay connected. Lest
Speaker 1: be friends and let us know what you guys want
Speaker 1: us to talk about for sure, definitely, I want to.
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting that we talked about this this
Speaker 1: week because I realized that last week it was Latina
Speaker 1: Equal Pay Day. When I missed it, I saw everybody
Speaker 1: was together, like Rosario Dawson's Rodriguez. I was like, I
Speaker 1: want to be their friend, and I want that unapologetically
Speaker 1: Latina t shirt, and I want to be wherever they are.
Speaker 1: You know what I You know, it's really quickly before
Speaker 1: we go. I know we have to wrap. But um,
Speaker 1: I was so disappointed in reading some of the comments
Speaker 1: that people were saying, because people like Rosario Dawson and
Speaker 1: jesscal but they're like your millionaires, would you know about
Speaker 1: equal pay? You know? You know what I care about
Speaker 1: is that they're using their voice and their influence for
Speaker 1: those of us who don't have it. So celebrate that,
Speaker 1: Celebrate your fellow Latina's, celebrate each other just as women period,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I think that that's the importance
Speaker 1: of this podcast, is that, yeah, honey and I might
Speaker 1: be in two different life stages and we were both Latina's,
Speaker 1: but we're from different places. But in the end, we're
Speaker 1: just women trying to like navigate this thing, you know,
Speaker 1: and trying to make positivity and trying to give a face,
Speaker 1: you know, to our tribe, which is what they're doing,
Speaker 1: and I respect them. You know what it is. Social
Speaker 1: media just laws negativity, and it's like, yeah, okay, they
Speaker 1: don't understand what it might be like working at a
Speaker 1: law firm, you know, upstate New York, but they do
Speaker 1: understand what being a Latina is and what wanting to
Speaker 1: get paid equally as their male counterparts is, whether it
Speaker 1: be one million or whether it be sixty. And they're
Speaker 1: leading the way and so are we. Yes, let's do this.
Speaker 1: So make sure you guys tune in. We're going to
Speaker 1: be doing this every single week. Yeah, tune in. Next week.
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about other stuff that we think is
Speaker 1: important for you guys to know, or we'll just sit
Speaker 1: here and bus I mean, you never know what. That's
Speaker 1: always fabulous
