00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: Hi, baby, it's me Alexis Sevestis. I don't know if

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: you remember me. I was listening to your mom's song

14
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: and I feel like I know your voice anywhere, like Janey,

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: I know your voice at me where, and I can

16
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: swear that I hear you on the intro of that song.

17
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: I might be wrong, I don't know, but if that

18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: was you, what was it like to be in the

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: studio with your mom? Like, I don't know, I feel

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: like that's just different, right, But it's so.

21
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Cool, Alexis, the best day is okay? I need to

22
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: know more information if I remember you from where I'm

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: trying because I don't want to lie and tell you

24
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: that I do because I meet a lot of people.

25
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: But on your next voice note, just tell me give

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: me a little hint. Okay, But regarding your question, yes,

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: that is me that and also on Las Malandrinaz is

28
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: well in the intro and at the end of the song.

29
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: It was really cool. It was fun because things were

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: recorded differently. I feel. Well. Then we all had to

31
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: be in the studio, so it was not only me.

32
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: It was my mom's sister. It was my mom's brother's

33
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: wife as well, so it was a bunch of us

34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: in the studio. Just I see. And it was a

35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: lot of fun, just cracking up and you know, being

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: rebel less. So yes, it was me, and it was

37
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: an amazing, amazing experience, something I won't forget. And it's

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: really cool because Johnny just sent it to me the

39
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: other day that one of the songs, actually Las Mal

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: Andrinaz is trending on TikTok and he's like, look, look

41
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: where you guys are at because it's us together. So

42
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: it was really cool. So yeah, that is me. You

43
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: got it right, girl? I love that you guys recognize

44
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: my voice anywhere. I was at freaking the grocery store

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: the other day and I was in an aisle by myself,

46
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden I was talking to Emilia,

47
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden someone comes from the other aisle,

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: didn't even see me, but recognize my voice. So that's

49
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: kind of cool. You guys, can you know you know

50
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: my voice? I love that. Thank you for your question, girl.

51
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: I hope you're doing good. Okay, guys, so now we

52
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: have a question from.

53
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: J Hi Tikis.

54
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: I just want to first off and say that I

55
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: love you and your siblings and of course your mama.

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: You know, she's a legend. May she live on forever

57
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: and ever. So on that note, what do you think

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: your mom's concerts would be like in the year twenty

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: twenty five? Do you think she would make them more modern?

60
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: Do you think that they would be the same as

61
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: they were when she was here? I always wondered what

62
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: her concerts would be like in twenty twenty five, in

63
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: this day and age. Also, my second question is will

64
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: your mom listen to the music from today? Do you

65
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: think she would like Karaoje or Bad Bunny or Fsa,

66
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: Reishira or Berso Bloma. Do you think she would listen

67
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: to the music from Thank You Tinkies.

68
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: I love you guys so much and Jay, thank you,

69
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: thank you for loving us, for loving my mother. And

70
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: I love your question. I think about this all the time.

71
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: Johnny and I were talking about that the other day.

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: Johnny's my little brother for those of you that don't know,

73
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: but AnyWho, I'm the eldest and Johnny's youngest, and we

74
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: were talking about this. I think that my mom's concerts

75
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: were so unique and one of a kind. I missed

76
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: them all the time because I've gone to different concerts,

77
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, artists in regional Mexican music, and they just

78
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: are different, not bad, but they're not Jenny Rivera's concerts.

79
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: You know. I do think my mom would modernize them

80
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: a bit, but I always thought she was kind of

81
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: ahead of her time and especially in her genre. So

82
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: she was a very traditional woman in respect of that

83
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: quite bit. But she would for sure add some of

84
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: like what's happening right now, what's trending in a funny way,

85
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: and she would make fun of it in a funny way.

86
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: We always say my mom would have been canceled so

87
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: many times, and she wouldn't have even given an f

88
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: you know, she would have bounced right back because my

89
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: mom was so honest and right now we're living in

90
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: an era that's very what's the word, I guess crystallized.

91
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: I know very, you know, it's different now and my

92
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: mom lingua, so we always joke about that. But she

93
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: would just she was funny, as you guys know, and

94
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: you guys have watched I Love Jenny and she was

95
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: just a funny woman. So for sure, I think she

96
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: would add that funk and you know, spark in what's

97
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: happening to her shows, but in her own Jenny fashion.

98
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: And I do think that my mom would like Carol

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: g and she would like Bad Bunny and even pesl Pluma,

100
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: and she would probably get on everyone's case and tell

101
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: let me who sit your ass down? Let me tell

102
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: you about this and that, and blah blah blah. Like

103
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: I do see that she would like it. I don't

104
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: know if she would have listened to it every day,

105
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: but I think she would vibe out to it, you know.

106
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's so funny that you asked that, Jay,

107
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: I love it. But yeah, my mom was always the

108
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: cool hip mom. Our friends loved her. She was, like,

109
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, one of our friends as well, so I

110
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: do see it. I would love to see what my

111
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: mom would do on Instagram because she was such a

112
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: Twitter queen. I don't know if she would do TikTok.

113
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: She probably would do it with like Jayla with my nieces,

114
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, and do little dances. Oh my gosh, it

115
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: makes me miss her so much. I'm gonna get emotional.

116
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: But thank you so much Day for your question. You

117
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: made my heart feel good because yeah, I wish my

118
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: mom was here for sure. All right, guys, last question

119
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: comes from Iliana high Cheeky's.

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 4: First off, I just wanted to say that I am

121
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: such a huge fan.

122
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: Of yours and your moms.

123
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 4: I watched all of your reality shows. I listened to

124
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: both of you guys' music, and I just think you

125
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: both are so, so so great and very family oriented,

126
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: and I absolutely love that. But my question is because

127
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: I recently started reading your very first book, called Forgiveness,

128
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: and I can relate to some of the things that

129
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: you went through, such as dealing with your abuse, because

130
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: I was abused by my babysitters older sons. My question

131
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 4: is how did you have the courage to go up,

132
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: understand and testify against your dad. That must have been

133
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: a very terrifying experience.

134
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: Oh, Eleana, I'm so sorry that you experienced that. I

135
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: know how life changing it can be and how much

136
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: it can determine who we become in our future, because

137
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: what happens to us, especially when we're young and innocent,

138
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: can affect us a lot as adults. And I'm telling

139
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: you because I thought I had healed completely the abuse,

140
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: and as I'm getting older, it has come up here

141
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: and there, especially in my relationships, so I understand. I

142
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: was just talking to my life coach this morning about that,

143
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: about the courage when I testified and how scared I was,

144
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: and what kept me going was the fact that my

145
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: mom did have my back, that she never questioned me.

146
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: That helped me a lot, which is why I always

147
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: tell people, you know, especially in the Latin community, it

148
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: happened more then we think, more than we would like.

149
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: And I think what a lot of mothers do wrong

150
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: or parents, is they brush it under the rug because

151
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: it's usually a family member, and they turned the other cheek.

152
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: And that's the worst thing that you could do. Because

153
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful that my mom. My mom had my

154
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: back and she was there, so I think that helped me.

155
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: And also knowing that telling my story and standing up

156
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: for justice, although I loved my dad and I didn't

157
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: want anything bad to happen to him, knowing that it

158
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: was out of my control. The consequences for his actions

159
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: were out of my control. Whatever God decided to do,

160
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: whatever the court decided to do, that was out of

161
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: my hands. And what I needed to do was stand

162
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: up and tell my truth. And not only that, but

163
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: I was going to be able to help other people

164
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: by speaking my truth. And I was scared and I

165
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: was trembling and I cried every single time I had

166
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: to go to court, but I did it for the

167
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: better good, not only for myself, for my justice, but

168
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: for justice in general and to show people that there's

169
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: a lot of strength that comes from speaking your truth

170
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: and using your voice. And that's what kept me going,

171
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: that's what gave me the courage to do it. So yeah,

172
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: and I'm sending you a big hug, and I hope

173
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: that you're okay, and just remember therapy and prayer helps

174
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: a lot, and just be patient with yourself because there

175
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: will be days where you're fine, and then there's going

176
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: to be a day where you're like, oh my gosh,

177
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: this is affecting me in this area of my life.

178
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: It's a process, and you know, trust the process and

179
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: also be patient with the process. But thank you for
