Speaker 1: I'm Honey Germany. 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.
Speaker 2: I'm Carolina Bermudez Sony Nikaa wins it. But I was
Speaker 2: born and raised in Ohio. I'm a wife, a mama,
Speaker 2: and a worker bee.
Speaker 1: This is life in Spanglish.
Speaker 2: By now, the saying is so famous. I mean, you
Speaker 2: can't get away from it.
Speaker 3: But mikasas Sukassa betro sing Saato because Honey brought this
Speaker 3: up to me and she wanted to know.
Speaker 2: She's like, I want to know what is your policy
Speaker 2: at your house? And I said, girl, do you really
Speaker 2: want to know this?
Speaker 4: You don't know me by now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really really really want to know this, Carolina,
Speaker 1: because I don't know. I feel a way when people
Speaker 1: tell me to take my shoes off when they go
Speaker 1: to their house.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Okay, so I thought you were going
Speaker 2: to be on my side. See, Honey, I took you
Speaker 2: as I look at your instagrams.
Speaker 4: You have an immaculate home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, house is super clean anybody who comes here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I am the same. I mean, the one
Speaker 2: thing that I've always been very very strict about are
Speaker 2: my floors. You will come into my home, even with
Speaker 2: a dog that sheds, I swiffer twice a day, you
Speaker 2: will not find anything nasty on my floors. And I
Speaker 2: did this from the time that the boys were little,
Speaker 2: because you know, you have little babies.
Speaker 4: There crawling floor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so from the time even before this, when we
Speaker 2: lived in Brooklyn, there was a strict rule. You did
Speaker 2: not even before that in a Homebooken, are you kidding
Speaker 2: me right now?
Speaker 4: I'm taking it way back from a single every.
Speaker 1: Where you've been no shoes in your house.
Speaker 2: You do not wear shoes in the house, and especially
Speaker 2: in this area. Ladies, gentlemen, if you're listening, do you
Speaker 2: feel me like seriously comment at Eli's spanguish and let
Speaker 2: me know what your policy is, because we are very
Speaker 2: strict about it in this household.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Carolyn. I always kind of like reserve
Speaker 1: that for like if let's say you're from Asia, or
Speaker 1: you're from the Middle East, or you're Japanese. Like I
Speaker 1: understood that as a sign of respect for certain cultures,
Speaker 1: people from certain countries. But I feel away, and I
Speaker 1: still feel away. I guess maybe because I didn't grow
Speaker 1: up with that. It's like you would run around the
Speaker 1: house you had your shoes off, And I didn't know
Speaker 1: any Latinos that would say you have to take your
Speaker 1: shoes off when you come to my house. So now,
Speaker 1: even now, I recently bought a house in Jersey and
Speaker 1: I redid all the floors. They're live beige Krolina, I
Speaker 1: could not fix my face to tell someone take your
Speaker 1: shoes off when they come in my house, Like I
Speaker 1: feel like they would be so offended, like I would
Speaker 1: think they're dirty.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry you're offended, but this is my home.
Speaker 1: No teach me your ways, Caroline. I really have not
Speaker 1: been able to like even fix my face to tell
Speaker 1: one person. I remember Nala, who worked with us, came
Speaker 1: to my house and she was like, should I take
Speaker 1: off my shoes? And I was like, no, no, no, why
Speaker 1: would you take off your shoes? And she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: my mom would make people take off their shoes, and
Speaker 1: one hundred percent that she took them off and she
Speaker 1: walked around and has socks. But then I thought about it,
Speaker 1: I was like, that's kind of weird and I don't
Speaker 1: like it either when I go to people's houses.
Speaker 2: Well, then you know what, you bring your own slippers, baby,
Speaker 2: because I am not even kidding around. When you come
Speaker 2: to my home, see this is the thing you can
Speaker 2: walk in through my front entry.
Speaker 4: You can walk in in.
Speaker 2: That area because then, by the way, you do know
Speaker 2: when you leave, I'm gonna get out me being as
Speaker 2: al and I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna mop
Speaker 2: that area because you walked in it with your shoes
Speaker 2: from outside.
Speaker 4: But you know, I've been traveling so much.
Speaker 2: Lately, and this is hilarious because this will just tell
Speaker 2: you guys a lot about my personality.
Speaker 4: I do not waste anything. And you know, since E has.
Speaker 2: Been flying me back and forth to La, you know,
Speaker 2: I am going to grab those slippers and I'm going
Speaker 2: to save them. So when you come to my house,
Speaker 2: if you don't want to walk around barefoot, that's okay.
Speaker 2: I can offer you little socks, or I can offer
Speaker 2: you the Delta plane slippers that have no been used,
Speaker 2: because I would never bring plane slippers into my own
Speaker 2: home too.
Speaker 4: That's a whole other discussion.
Speaker 2: And I have something to provide for you so that
Speaker 2: you don't feel uncomfortable, because I will say I have
Speaker 2: been to other people's houses, and they got some skanky
Speaker 2: floors with some crumbs on, and they got dog hair,
Speaker 2: and I feel like I want to take off my
Speaker 2: shoes and walk around barefoot and that environment. So why
Speaker 2: would I want anybody to feel that way in my home.
Speaker 1: That's definitely a thing, because you know, some people might
Speaker 1: not want to show their socks. I say they got
Speaker 1: some ratty socks with some holes in it, or even
Speaker 1: the bare feet. Let's say you haven't gotten petticure of
Speaker 1: forever and yet feet it just tore up curently. No,
Speaker 1: that's another reason why people might be like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to take off my shoes, and there I am
Speaker 1: at your door, like, so I can't visit you unless
Speaker 1: I expose my raggedy ass feet that haven't had a
Speaker 1: petticure in three months. Okay, no problem.
Speaker 4: Well, no, you know what, it don't feel bad at me? Nope,
Speaker 4: I sure don't.
Speaker 2: You want to know why, because it's my house and
Speaker 2: it's and I live here, and if you're gonna come
Speaker 2: in my house, my house, my rules.
Speaker 4: But you know what I do with I want.
Speaker 1: You to pack you to attacked.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think I tried to you know this is
Speaker 2: the problem, though, So I have a mother in law
Speaker 2: who selectively forgets every time she comes to visit us
Speaker 2: that we do not wear shoes in the house. And
Speaker 2: I understand it's out of habit and a lot of
Speaker 2: people don't do it, and so I do give her
Speaker 2: a pass because it's like, hey, listen, if you wear
Speaker 2: your shoes in your house, that's on you. But we
Speaker 2: don't do it here. I have even gone so far
Speaker 2: as to purchase her a pair of house slippers. Like,
Speaker 2: by the way, I will tell you, I have a
Speaker 2: pair of like birkenstocks that I wear in my house.
Speaker 2: These don't leave my house. They don't go anywhere but
Speaker 2: my house. They're little plastic ones, right, because I also
Speaker 2: have a bad back, so I need that foot support.
Speaker 2: But I went so far as to buy her a
Speaker 2: pair of sandals so that when she comes to New York,
Speaker 2: I always say, oh, you know, Jackie, we don't wear
Speaker 2: shoes in the household on, let me get you your slippers,
Speaker 2: so then she can put those on. And it's almost
Speaker 2: like training her.
Speaker 1: Girl, this is an older person. This is not a
Speaker 1: thing like I'm telling you it was. This never a
Speaker 1: thing for me, like any house I visit it growing up,
Speaker 1: not my black friends, not my Latino friends, not my
Speaker 1: white friends. So for me, it's just weird as hell.
Speaker 4: No, there's just too much funk out in these streets sometimes.
Speaker 1: Well that is true. I know that, you know, it's
Speaker 1: very unsanitary, especially like us. We travel in trains, we
Speaker 1: take ubers, we be in airports, so your shoes are
Speaker 1: super contaminated and disgusting.
Speaker 2: Oh and the other thing too, since you're talking about
Speaker 2: the airports. My suitcase doesn't go into my bedroom because
Speaker 2: that suitcase has.
Speaker 4: Been here, there, everywhere.
Speaker 2: There are certain things that I just like won't allow
Speaker 2: into my like sanctuary, you know. And I know that
Speaker 2: it's not like there are so many people who just
Speaker 2: don't care and they're like, oh, life's too sure, Why
Speaker 2: do you worry about things like that?
Speaker 4: This is like a thing.
Speaker 2: So I think that, like the pandemic actually made it
Speaker 2: worse because I've always been a germ of fobe.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna asked girl during the pandemic, what
Speaker 1: was going down in your house? If you don't even
Speaker 1: bring the suitcase in that house?
Speaker 2: Next level, I was one of the ones that was
Speaker 2: life selling the groceries on the outside and doing all
Speaker 2: of that business. But you know what, I do think
Speaker 2: that like it definitely heightened my awareness for germs and things.
Speaker 4: Like that, which was not good.
Speaker 2: It didn't get me to a good place, but I
Speaker 2: think that I definitely relaxed a little bit more Like
Speaker 2: with the kids. First thing you do when you go home?
Speaker 2: What's the first thing that you do, honey? Other than
Speaker 2: take off your you don't take off your shoes. So
Speaker 2: what's the first thing that you do when you walk
Speaker 2: in the door.
Speaker 1: As soon as I walk in the house, Carolina, put
Speaker 1: my sunglasses down. I go right to the fridge, get
Speaker 1: me a beverage.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, you missed a step. See this is where
Speaker 2: we do not agree.
Speaker 4: The first thing you do walk into this house?
Speaker 1: Oh your house. We're talking about when I walk into
Speaker 1: your house? On my house?
Speaker 4: No, your house.
Speaker 2: No, you were right.
Speaker 1: You were right about the thing.
Speaker 4: Like the difference between us.
Speaker 2: Is that, like the first thing that I do is
Speaker 2: wash my hands. I will still even have my purse
Speaker 2: on my on my shoulder.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, thinking about that, right, I know.
Speaker 4: But that's what I'm saying. It's like for some people,
Speaker 4: it's almost like an illness. You know what I mean,
Speaker 4: like to be that consumed by it.
Speaker 1: I thought you want to be that dirty like me.
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying you're normal.
Speaker 2: Like what you do is normal. What I do is
Speaker 2: over the top. It's too much. Like even my sister
Speaker 2: says sometimes she's like yeah, you know, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: it will like it's the kind of stuff that keeps
Speaker 2: me up at night.
Speaker 1: But you know what, like after you started talking about this,
Speaker 1: you don't be like we're recording and we're talking and
Speaker 1: I'm googling. I'm just like all over the place. And
Speaker 1: then I was just looking and I'm like, what's on shoes?
Speaker 1: And I'm reading this article and it says ecla is
Speaker 1: on shoes?
Speaker 4: Babe.
Speaker 2: You know the Upper east Side. So the Upper east
Speaker 2: Side has this really bad problem. And you would think
Speaker 2: all of these rich people with their little dog walkers
Speaker 2: and all the people that got money, you know, that
Speaker 2: they would be a little bit more clean and that
Speaker 2: they would be a little more tidy and consider it.
Speaker 2: Wait until I tell you the issue that is happening
Speaker 2: on the Upper east Side when we get back from
Speaker 2: this break. So before we went to break, Okay, this
Speaker 2: is something that is happening now. If you're listening to
Speaker 2: us anywhere on the iHeartRadio app, God bless you, because
Speaker 2: if you're living in Ohio, if you're living somewhere else
Speaker 2: like in Texas or you know, Washington City, you probably
Speaker 2: don't run into the issues that we are running into here.
Speaker 4: On the Upper east Side. There is a dog poop problem.
Speaker 2: On the Upper east Side, they have a surplus honey
Speaker 2: of dog poop to the point where they had to
Speaker 2: start an initiative to tell people that you need to
Speaker 2: clean up your dog's mess. So imagine we're on fifty
Speaker 2: fifth and six.
Speaker 1: And let me paint this to you. Guys. We are
Speaker 1: in the middle of the theater district. So you see
Speaker 1: all these Broadway shows that you know, everyone wants to
Speaker 1: come see in New York. We're right in the middle
Speaker 1: of that mix, right.
Speaker 2: So then you imagine that there's people from the Upper
Speaker 2: east Side coming over to our area. We're going over
Speaker 2: to their area whatever, you know, like the we're very
Speaker 2: truancy of.
Speaker 4: People New Yorkers. We were here there everywhere. Right.
Speaker 2: You're bringing whatever that little dog just did, that mess
Speaker 2: that they made, you're bringing that into your home on
Speaker 2: your shoes next to your family. Some people. Okay, this
Speaker 2: is what drives me insane. I've been at other people's
Speaker 2: houses where they put their feet up on the coffee
Speaker 2: table and they have their shoes.
Speaker 4: On, and then they eat on the coffee table.
Speaker 2: No, it is that is enough to make my skin crawl.
Speaker 1: Now you're making me feel like I need to tell
Speaker 1: people to take their shoes off, especially if they coming
Speaker 1: from the BX, the upper east side, the lower east side.
Speaker 1: Where are you coming from? Oh, the subway is disgusting.
Speaker 1: I used to start. You're right, Carolina, I used to
Speaker 1: step on piss all the time. I get I was
Speaker 1: dry pissed, and then my sneakerld be stuck on it.
Speaker 1: Now you're giving me that, Carolina, And my position on
Speaker 1: shoes and Mikasa might just have to change, because now
Speaker 1: I'm seeing him as a health hazard, not just like
Speaker 1: you know what is ap come visit me. It's like
Speaker 1: a look. It's like the shoes. And my older sister
Speaker 1: she comes, It's like she has just shoes on Valentino.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the Balanciaga sneakers match the hat. How I look
Speaker 1: being like, I know you got this whole fit and
Speaker 1: this whole drip and this look going. But can you
Speaker 1: take off your shoes? I want to see kind of
Speaker 1: stocks you got under there? Slip aside time.
Speaker 2: But you know what if they both that, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, you're not trying to impress anybody
Speaker 2: in my house. And that's where I feel like, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe people will feel more comfortable. Look, I understand if
Speaker 2: it's uncomfortable for you and you're not used to it,
Speaker 2: but I also want you to feel like you can
Speaker 2: relax in my home. And I'm not relaxing if you
Speaker 2: are coming through and you got all of that stuff
Speaker 2: on you, like, no way, no, how Now, I do
Speaker 2: know that I can push the limit and that it
Speaker 2: is a bit much. And that's where my sister was
Speaker 2: telling me. She's like, you know, you can't be that
Speaker 2: way with people, and I said, no, I know that
Speaker 2: I can't be that way with people. But it's also
Speaker 2: still my house, you know, so there has to be
Speaker 2: a little bit of a give and take.
Speaker 1: I guess you gotta respect everyone's I guess I want
Speaker 1: to tell people take off their shoes, but I feel
Speaker 1: like trash. I don't know why, Carolina, I just know it,
Speaker 1: But I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: you this is the type of person I am. I
Speaker 1: went to a party one time a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and they had a porta potty and they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: we don't want nobody in our house. Whoever has to
Speaker 1: piss has to use a porta partty in Carolina, I left.
Speaker 2: Yeah, see that's next.
Speaker 1: I felt wildly disrespected. I said, wait, hold on, you
Speaker 1: want me here to celebrate a big life event for you,
Speaker 1: but I am not worthy of going into your home
Speaker 1: and pissing on your toilet. I am sure as hell
Speaker 1: am not going to piss in no por to potty.
Speaker 1: And you know why, Carolina. I made my rounds. I said,
Speaker 1: I dropped off my gift. I had a drink, and
Speaker 1: I broke out. I'm sorry, Carolina. And I feel like
Speaker 1: people would take me telling them to take off their
Speaker 1: shoes the same way I took as somebody telling me
Speaker 1: go pissing a porta potty.
Speaker 2: So the thing with the porta potty okay, And I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna play Devil's advocate.
Speaker 1: Here, Please do so, because that traumatized me for life.
Speaker 2: I would be traumatized too, and I don't think that
Speaker 2: I could bring myself to pee in the porta potty.
Speaker 4: Legit, I would not be able.
Speaker 2: I probably would have done the same beautiful home.
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful home with multiple bathrooms, and it
Speaker 1: was the porter partty was in the driveway.
Speaker 5: My only thought process for that where it's acceptable, where
Speaker 5: I would be like, Okay, it's understandable is if they
Speaker 5: had are doing work or renovations in their home.
Speaker 2: But other than that, if you just have a porta
Speaker 2: potty because you don't want people coming into your home,
Speaker 2: that's an issue for me, and I feel like that
Speaker 2: is rude. I feel like that's bad manners.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, so I agree with you. The porta
Speaker 4: potty is like next level.
Speaker 2: That's taking it a step too far, because like, what
Speaker 2: do you expect that people are? First, Well, you have
Speaker 2: to trust your guests like that they're not going to
Speaker 2: come into your home and absolutely destroy it.
Speaker 1: Right exactly like you invited me here, but now I
Speaker 1: can't piss in your toilet and my you know what
Speaker 1: Nuni said, absolutely no, my wife not putting her ass on. No, damn.
Speaker 1: Porta poppa is precious and we don't take it.
Speaker 2: But no, but if you are but if you're doing
Speaker 2: renovations to your home or if there's something that could
Speaker 2: be potentially dangerous for your guests, I could see why, Like, listen,
Speaker 2: I'm providing you with the porta potty because you cannot
Speaker 2: come into my home because.
Speaker 4: Of X y Z. I feel like that is considerate.
Speaker 2: But if you're doing it because you just don't want
Speaker 2: like people to be in your house, like that's messed up.
Speaker 1: Back to the shoes, Karlina, I will say one thing though.
Speaker 1: While I was I've been recovering from my stroke, I
Speaker 1: did wear a shoe brace and I've been to houses
Speaker 1: where people are like, no shoes, and I'm like, I apologize,
Speaker 1: I have to wear my shoes.
Speaker 2: Oh but honey, no, See that's like a whole different situation.
Speaker 2: I'm not like this is that that to me? It's like,
Speaker 2: you have to respect that somebody is going through something.
Speaker 2: I would never expect you to do that if you
Speaker 2: were to.
Speaker 4: Come to my home at that point.
Speaker 1: And I felt like so awkward the whole time, Like
Speaker 1: it happened to me twice and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I know they're probably so mad. I have my shoes on.
Speaker 1: And I was like, but I can't walk without my
Speaker 1: brace and I can't wear my brace without my shoes.
Speaker 2: Right, No, I mean I think that you have to
Speaker 2: kind of gauge, like I mean, obviously if it's somebody's like,
Speaker 2: you know, like for example, my mother in law totally
Speaker 2: able bodied, you.
Speaker 4: Know she's not.
Speaker 2: No, I'm serious, like if she were in a walker
Speaker 2: or something like, yes, I'm not going to be like,
Speaker 2: oh second.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm safe, right right.
Speaker 4: I think like you have to gauge like with each
Speaker 4: person and stuff.
Speaker 2: But like I do think that people need to recognize
Speaker 2: like the things that they're bringing into their home because
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: Think people see it.
Speaker 2: And after like everything that we went through, I am sorry.
Speaker 2: I am not trying to track any kind of bugs
Speaker 2: or you know, any kind of mess in my house
Speaker 2: after what we went through.
Speaker 4: No, thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 1: And all I got to say is, thank god you
Speaker 1: don't have no carpeting house, Karlina, because I have her
Speaker 1: carpets are like a playground for bacteria, germs, and even
Speaker 1: if you have an animal or be that day, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't even have an area rug at my house
Speaker 1: because I'm so shook.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, like she is limited to where our
Speaker 2: kitchen is, you know, like we have one rug there
Speaker 2: in like the main area because obviously like we have
Speaker 2: a couch like and a coffee table or whatever.
Speaker 4: But like she is not allowed to just roam free
Speaker 4: in this home.
Speaker 1: No way, no how, no no no no.
Speaker 4: Trust me, I saved her from the sawdust. She's fine.
Speaker 4: She's better than she would have been if she would
Speaker 4: have stayed in that same place. So no, she's winning
Speaker 4: right now. She stays winning. Right now.
Speaker 1: You're winning in the yard and in the kitchen. Just
Speaker 1: enjoy what you have, okay girl.
Speaker 2: Right No, And like you know, one quick thing that
Speaker 2: I will say, it's like this is this is something
Speaker 2: that I adopt everywhere. I don't care if I am
Speaker 2: you know that I act actually bring my own socks
Speaker 2: with me if I go to other people's houses, like
Speaker 2: just because it's like, oh okay, if I want to
Speaker 2: feel comfortable, if they want me to take off my
Speaker 2: shoes there, like I'm gonna take them off and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna put.
Speaker 4: On my little socks or whatever.
Speaker 2: But like I adopt this at hotels when I'm traveling,
Speaker 2: Like I said, I pull those airline slippers and those
Speaker 2: are my best friends. I also have a pair of
Speaker 2: hotel flip flops that I wear in the shower. My
Speaker 2: precious little feet are not getting that funk that athletes
Speaker 2: funk from the shower. So you know, it's like, this
Speaker 2: is a very calculated thing on my part.
Speaker 1: You know what I think I'm gonna do. Carolina, I
Speaker 1: saw Chloe Kardashian. She doesn't allow shoes in her house,
Speaker 1: and you know what she has. She has like those
Speaker 1: little booties that people like. When we were seeing houses,
Speaker 1: some houses would make us put on those booties. I
Speaker 1: think maybe I'll buy those booties and it'll make me
Speaker 1: feel a little better, Like you don't have to take
Speaker 1: off your shoes, but do you mind putting these on?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Do you mind looking like the village people like you're
Speaker 2: about to do construction in my home?
Speaker 4: Because I'm gonna give you the booties. But it's like,
Speaker 4: I don't care. Girl.
Speaker 1: Do you mind looking like you about to give me
Speaker 1: a hoby by a Lama house?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: I do not mind. I will hook you up.
Speaker 2: Actually, we had the cable people out here the other
Speaker 2: day because like there's been stuff going on with the
Speaker 2: cable and before the guys walked through and they had
Speaker 2: those big ass like Timberlain like those big yes, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I am not having you track wherever you
Speaker 2: have been inside of my home. So I keep them
Speaker 2: right at the front. There's a little table there, and
Speaker 2: they said, oh, you know, can you old on one.
Speaker 2: I kind I'll grab you guys some booties there. They
Speaker 2: actually are very accustomed to it, and they're like, oh, thanks,
Speaker 2: I don't have to go out to my truck for it.
Speaker 4: So you know what it is.
Speaker 2: I think preparation is key to make people not feel uncomfortable,
Speaker 2: maybe grabbing a couple of those slippers, you know, or
Speaker 2: are having like a little basket full of like, you know,
Speaker 2: unused socks.
Speaker 4: That's the other thing.
Speaker 2: You could go to the dollar tree and get like
Speaker 2: some of those little like booty slippers, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, Like the little ones that have like the
Speaker 2: traction on the bottom.
Speaker 4: So it's like just.
Speaker 2: Lata and then it's not gonna be la and will
Speaker 2: not be a problem.
Speaker 1: All right, Fine, I'm gonna make a little basket by
Speaker 1: the house because I'm kind of tired. Because I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this much, Carolina, I do mop the hell out
Speaker 1: of the whole entire house when people leave, like when
Speaker 1: I have people over, Yes, Josta, the one that be
Speaker 1: like doing the swirl, like when you hit the pump.
Speaker 1: I use swiffers and I used to the bucket. Do
Speaker 1: you use a bucket or no?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Yes, the one that that you have to push
Speaker 4: the lever down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that joint, that joint meet that cadrolina. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: do it so much because I'd be texting and pumping
Speaker 1: that the damn mop is dry. I'm better than I
Speaker 1: I have one.
Speaker 2: Man, I'm going to put you onto something else before
Speaker 2: we hit to the salon.
Speaker 4: There's I'm going to send you the link for this.
Speaker 4: You remember when you were younger.
Speaker 2: And the custodian would go around the school and you
Speaker 2: had that one device that had like the two circles,
Speaker 2: like the two things that were going in a circle.
Speaker 1: That yellow bucket.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, not the bucket.
Speaker 2: It's like a it's like a device like a machine
Speaker 2: like that they used to like to polish the floor.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that. I remember that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I even got that in my house. So you know,
Speaker 4: when you come here, it's serious in CA serious clean situation.
Speaker 2: Now, when we come back, we have to head to
Speaker 2: the salon because there's somebody who has a question about
Speaker 2: brew Heria, and I think that you're just the person
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 1: Oh, you know.
Speaker 2: More than I do, all right, Okay, So we have
Speaker 2: to go to the salon, honey, because somebody wrote in
Speaker 2: and they have a question. Okay, And I don't feel
Speaker 2: like I know enough about this stuff, So I want
Speaker 2: you to be the person to really guide them, because
Speaker 2: I feel like you know more about the subject than
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 4: So do you want me to read it for you?
Speaker 1: Yes, read it while I gather my thoughts. You know,
Speaker 1: I like to like ingest what you read to get
Speaker 1: my responses. Ready, go for it?
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go, it says, ladies. I'm gonna keep
Speaker 2: this brief. My boyfriend's mom is into Brewia. I'm convinced
Speaker 2: that she has hexted me after we I know, after
Speaker 2: we skip Thanksgiving at his mom's house. This year, weird
Speaker 2: things have been happening to me. I got into a
Speaker 2: fender bender, I broke two of my toes in a
Speaker 2: weird accident involving a taxi dermized moose head what taxidermists?
Speaker 1: I know what that is? Look at me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but okay, so she broke two of her toes
Speaker 2: in a weird accident involving a moosehead, lost one of
Speaker 2: my contract jobs and more. I don't want to publicly
Speaker 2: accuse her, but when I mentioned to my boyfriend, he
Speaker 2: tried to tell me this was a joke.
Speaker 4: What should I do to break this person? Am I
Speaker 4: going crazy? Okay?
Speaker 1: This is a lot la suega. I want more. You
Speaker 1: where's the swegura from? Because you know some of our countries,
Speaker 1: you know that's their thing. I don't need to signal
Speaker 1: anybody out. And you know what, I'm not even gonna
Speaker 1: mention some of the are islands which are known, you
Speaker 1: know for this Bruhia thing, but it is a thing
Speaker 1: among some Latinos.
Speaker 4: What is it called where you're from? Because I think
Speaker 4: my mom.
Speaker 2: I used to hear my mom talking about it like before,
Speaker 2: when she would say algi leiso onnichiso or something like that.
Speaker 4: Is that how you say it?
Speaker 1: We say a a are are to work. But you
Speaker 1: know the same way that somebody there's also people out
Speaker 1: here that work very hard to help you get rid
Speaker 1: of these things, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel like those people, see I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't believe in this stuffs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And this is I'm sorry I didn't even say
Speaker 4: her name. This is from Sandra.
Speaker 2: Sandra is writing in and says that you know, her
Speaker 2: boyfriend they skip Thanksgiving at the mom's house and then
Speaker 2: weird things have been happening. Well, the thing is is
Speaker 2: that like there are some moms that are super into
Speaker 2: this and a like.
Speaker 4: An altered like they do all of this stuff. Now.
Speaker 2: I am not familiar with it, but I would say, like,
Speaker 2: things like this happen to me all the time. You know,
Speaker 2: it's like you have a string of bad luck, Like
Speaker 2: you don't want to just blame it on a string
Speaker 2: of things that have just been going wrong.
Speaker 4: Like why does it have to be Bruhria.
Speaker 2: But also, I don't feel like you're boyfriend helped you
Speaker 2: with this because he just laughed it off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he probably just doesn't believe either that his
Speaker 1: mom would do something like this, or or that something
Speaker 1: like this would cause her to have the accident or
Speaker 1: lose her contract. Maybe she's overthinking it. But you know,
Speaker 1: if you feel like las Wee, I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is family that you're going to want to enter
Speaker 1: into or continue this relationship with somebody that every time
Speaker 1: you have a problem, you feel like somebody's gonna be putting.
Speaker 1: Not witchcraft, I don't want to call it witchcraft, but
Speaker 1: that type of stuff on you right.
Speaker 2: Well, But then also aren't there in places like where
Speaker 2: you can go? Of course, it's like I just don't
Speaker 2: want somebody to get scammed, you know, well, like I
Speaker 2: wouldn't even know the first thing to do or where
Speaker 2: to go or talk to somebody if something, if I
Speaker 2: were in a situation like.
Speaker 1: This, well, this is not something that you know, you
Speaker 1: find online. Now. I've had people very close to me
Speaker 1: feel like they have had trabajos done on them. You know,
Speaker 1: I had a friend, you know that she broke up
Speaker 1: a relationship and the guys girlfriend was a guana and
Speaker 1: she was very much into you know, this type of practice.
Speaker 1: And Carolina, what if I tell you know, it's been
Speaker 1: like fifteen years and this friend of mine has been
Speaker 1: forever unlucky in love and she is one hundred percent convinced,
Speaker 1: and she went she found people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, girl.
Speaker 1: She spent thousands doinglybis because that's a thing.
Speaker 3: Yes, they can take you, that's the whole problem because
Speaker 3: then they say, oh no, I'll you know, Like that's
Speaker 3: the whole problem is that, like you're basically trusting this
Speaker 3: person to tell you whether or not it's over or
Speaker 3: they took it off of.
Speaker 1: You, and you don't know how genuine this person is. Usually,
Speaker 1: like here in New York, if you see a botanica,
Speaker 1: there will probably be a back room or a basement
Speaker 1: where someone will be able to guide you and help you.
Speaker 2: This is so creepy that you gotta go to a
Speaker 2: back room.
Speaker 4: That is like so scary to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like when I was young and still living in
Speaker 1: Long Island, we had a Botanica in Freeport right on
Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like it was Merrick Avenue
Speaker 1: or something, and the botanica was the front you would
Speaker 1: buy your cabelas you buy your camfore. Like different people
Speaker 1: go to botanica's for different reasons, right right, But there
Speaker 1: was a door in the back and when you went
Speaker 1: in the back, you could get your cards red, you
Speaker 1: could get your you know, your future told and there
Speaker 1: if your card said, they would facilitate how to fix
Speaker 1: the problem for you. It would cost money. But if
Speaker 1: you're looking for some type of I guess satisfaction or
Speaker 1: if you're looking for some type of clarity, ask someone
Speaker 1: in your circle, you know, if they have a spiritual advisor. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know, girl, this is going to get everything
Speaker 1: my mother taught me about God. You're crazy. If she
Speaker 1: hears this episode, I'm disowned forever.
Speaker 2: No, And that's why I'm saying I have no knowledge
Speaker 2: about this song that I wish I could help you.
Speaker 2: But you know what the thing is is that, like
Speaker 2: I went back and I reread the letter, and she
Speaker 2: says that her boyfriend's mom is into Bruria, so she
Speaker 2: knows it.
Speaker 1: This is the bad stuff. This is the bad stuff.
Speaker 1: Is not to be confused with Santa Riya, please, because.
Speaker 4: People, what's the difference. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, Santo's they dress in all white. You know, they
Speaker 1: believe in theas they believe, you know, in Los Santos,
Speaker 1: but they are into it in a positive manner. It
Speaker 1: is okay, it is not to do harm. You know,
Speaker 1: they're very connected with the differentos. They wear their beads.
Speaker 1: They don't hurt people, that's not their thing. But Bruha
Speaker 1: is witch which is witchcraft, and then Santa Riya is
Speaker 1: Santos so two totally very different things. Let's not get
Speaker 1: the too confused. But you know what, maybe instead of
Speaker 1: going to the botanica and trying to talk to someone
Speaker 1: who might see you have money, why don't you connect
Speaker 1: with God and maybe get to even know her a
Speaker 1: little bit better And you'd be like, oh, no, this
Speaker 1: woman is not into that. She didn't do that. It's
Speaker 1: my mind playing tricks on me. So you know what.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I would talk to your
Speaker 2: boyfriend and just be like, I know that she she
Speaker 2: went back to say that when I mentioned it to
Speaker 2: my boyfriend, he tried to tell me it was a joke.
Speaker 4: I would go back to him and just be like, Hey,
Speaker 4: I mean for real, for real, I need you to like.
Speaker 2: Understand that I have this in my mind and there's
Speaker 2: nothing that's going to clear it up for me until
Speaker 2: like we get to the bottom of it. Is there
Speaker 2: any way that you're willing to talk to your mom
Speaker 2: with me, even if it's in a joking manner, you know,
Speaker 2: to just be like, hey, you know, like have him
Speaker 2: almost joke about it in front of me to see
Speaker 2: what the mom's reaction is.
Speaker 1: Carolyn, how do you even joke about like did you
Speaker 1: do witchcraft on me?
Speaker 2: Like, because if she's into it, I'm sure they've spoken
Speaker 2: about it before their family, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like if it's something that's known, I don't know, but
Speaker 2: I just I would not be messing around with that.
Speaker 4: And then also, like what does your.
Speaker 2: Future look like if you don't go to like New
Speaker 2: Year's If you don't go to like now, you're gonna
Speaker 2: get something done every single time.
Speaker 1: If you cheat on that, man, it's over for you. Bitch.
Speaker 1: You might as well just jump on the bridge.
Speaker 2: Because Hi, Sandrita, I'm sorry, honey, but you know what,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I wish I knew the answer to that,
Speaker 2: but it is the text. I don't even know how
Speaker 2: to say it. Taxidermize, taxidermat the moosehead, Like what like
Speaker 2: how do you break your toes on a moosehead who had.
Speaker 1: A moosehead that you ended up kicking on the floor?
Speaker 4: Right, this is like with the contract job.
Speaker 2: It sucks, like, yes, you lost your job, but like
Speaker 2: that's where I kind of like to think that, like
Speaker 2: that's the universe. Thing's come and go. You know, you
Speaker 2: lose one opportunity, you get another, you know, but it's
Speaker 2: like the whole boyfriend thing. If this is going to
Speaker 2: be your man, then you need to like get to
Speaker 2: the bottom of this now because if you start having kids,
Speaker 2: if you guys get married, and she's gonna always have
Speaker 2: a hold on you.
Speaker 1: Nah, I say you make an exit now if you
Speaker 1: feel like the Dana Sinuhiria because you don't want to
Speaker 1: eat the turkey. Girl, this is not for you. This
Speaker 1: woman is going to do all types of craziness to
Speaker 1: you when you start having kids and not letting her
Speaker 1: see them, or when you're not trying to go to
Speaker 1: her events, or when you don't like her atrocom gandulas.
Speaker 2: I mean, no, it doesn't end. It doesn't end, So listen.
Speaker 2: We hope that things go well for you. Will you
Speaker 2: please let.
