• 3:45
  Carmen Lezeth: Are we in?
• 3:45
  Carmen Lezeth: It's very sexy.
• 3:46
  Carmen Lezeth: I was going to ask you.

  Andrea Nunez: I have a, I got a.
• 3:50
  Andrea Nunez: I got one of the.

  Andrea Nunez: Circle things.
• 3:57
  Rick Costa: Okay Circle ring light.
• 3:58
  Andrea Nunez: Yes, thank you, so I'm just using that and my other light is unplugged, so that was so cute, one of those circle things, yeah, so it's always great to have the light.
• 4:14
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, I think we all have that on us.
• 4:15
  Carmen Lezeth: Well, me and Rick do, I know.
• 4:16
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know if Cynthia does.
• 4:18
  Carmen Lezeth: Cynthia just has beautiful lighting.
• 4:20
  Carmen Lezeth: She's her aura as she walks in the room, right, but you do have to have light on behind you, not behind you but above you.
• 4:28
  Andrea Nunez: I'm just saying I don't have a light in here other than the one that's on my desk.
• 4:32
  Andrea Nunez: That is currently unplugged, so this is it girl.
• 4:34
  Andrea Nunez: Okay, well, I think it was like really intense interviews where you like ask me questions and do like a really big closeup and I'm like right, hey, but your clip that I did and see this is cause you're not on social media.
• 4:48
  Carmen Lezeth: The clip I did with you and we talked about student loans, so much information, so much people and people DM me oh really, yeah, I was surprised.
• 4:56
  Carmen Lezeth: People sending me direct messages like somebody from UVM was like there's Jeff, who is one of my Facebook friends.
• 5:03
  Carmen Lezeth: Somebody went to college with the UVM and he was talking about how he thinks UVM did a great job with grants and helping people and I was like that's, that's your experience.
• 5:13
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm so happy for you.
• 5:14
  Carmen Lezeth: That's off to them.
• 5:17
  Andrea Nunez: No, I was like so glad you're not already $40,000.
• 5:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Exactly so, yeah, so it really sparked some conversations and thank you for doing the private.
• 5:29
  Andrea Nunez: Well, I mean, it's something that a whole lot of people are dealing with and unfortunately, our stories are not unique.
• 5:35
  Carmen Lezeth: So it's you know, they're not and for people are wondering what we're talking about.
• 5:39
  Carmen Lezeth: Andrei and I did a private lounge last week and I posted it on the podcast and also it's on YouTube.
• 5:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I forget the name of it, but I put Andrea's picture in mine up there so you could see it and you could go check it out.
• 5:50
  Carmen Lezeth: We were going to talk about makeup tips.
• 5:52
  Carmen Lezeth: We kind of got to it.
• 5:56
  Andrea Nunez: I don't let you kept saying that, but it was.
• 5:58
  Andrea Nunez: The question that you sent me was what would you tell your 20 year old self?
• 6:02
  Andrea Nunez: And you said it could be anything.
• 6:04
  Carmen Lezeth: And then, of course, would include sunscreen and all of that sort of thing, but so there was a time it's happened several times, but the one I remember the most was Andrea was at my other apartment years and years and years ago and I don't know I had bread out and I was trying to cut bread with, like a regular, what I think is a regular knife, because I am I know it's going to be shocking to so many people I am not a cook, I don't, I don't want to cook, I don't even care about cooking at all Right, and she came over to me and she was like Carmen, I don't care what you do.
• 6:38
  Carmen Lezeth: You said it gently and kindly.
• 6:40
  Carmen Lezeth: You said it gently and kindly because I was taking this beautiful, fresh loaf of bread from wherever she had bought it and I was, and it was smushing and she goes I don't care what you do, you need to use a what's it called a serrated knife, right?
• 6:53
  Carmen Lezeth: So rated serrated knife, I rated knife to cut bread.
• 6:56
  Carmen Lezeth: Always she's like I don't care if you use one of the dinner ones, whatever, but never use this big like machete knife, whatever the hell.
• 7:02
  Carmen Lezeth: That's knife.
• 7:03
  Carmen Lezeth: And here's the thing, like I mean, of course, duh, like of course that makes sense, but I never knew that.
• 7:14
  Carmen Lezeth: Like it's one of those things where I have these moments where I realize I really didn't grow up with a mom or with somebody teaching me even the small like and I know everyone was listening to this or watching this is like okay, you're a fucking idiot.
• 7:28
  Carmen Lezeth: But so many times that's happened with you, andrea, that you would show me how to do different things.
• 7:35
  Carmen Lezeth: So that's why I think I had come up with and then we were talking about eyebrows the other day because even though I know my eyebrows, I mean, now I know my eyebrows are fine, I'm not going to have eyebrows look fabulous to.
• 7:44
  Andrea Nunez: I was thinking about your eyebrows even before you brought this up, so I just want to tell you.
• 7:49
  Carmen Lezeth: So here's the thing I you know, I think my eyebrows are horrible.
• 7:53
  Carmen Lezeth: But after Andrea explained some things to me about eyebrows and what she went through and what she does and why she does it, I was like, okay, I'm fine, I'm fine, I, I'm good, I'm just gonna put a little fillet in.
• 8:03
  Carmen Lezeth: And we done, we done.
• 8:04
  Carmen Lezeth: So that's why that came up.
• 8:06
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, that was too long winded, I'm sorry.
• 8:10
  Rick Costa: I think we all have things like that, that a lot of people would say you don't know how to do that, like it's common sense to them.
• 8:16
  Rick Costa: But like we had a flood in my house practically nose arc, I jokingly say because one of the pipes busted from from freezing and then when unfroze pipe busted and I thought I knew where to turn all the water things off and I'm twisting everything.
• 8:29
  Rick Costa: And then I literally had to call a fireman because I was like I don't know what to do.
• 8:33
  Rick Costa: And then I found out it's just this teeny little switch, you just gonna turn a quarter.
• 8:36
  Rick Costa: And I'm like are you see?
• 8:38
  Rick Costa: Why did my father never tell me this?
• 8:40
  Rick Costa: Yeah, like, come on, parents.
• 8:42
  Andrea Nunez: Step it up.
• 8:43
  Andrea Nunez: I'm gonna build a small fire out back, just to make this worth your time.
• 8:48
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh my God, there's a cat in the tree over there.
• 8:51
  Carmen Lezeth: I've, I've, I've done that before.
• 8:55
  Carmen Lezeth: Rick, I didn't know either, so don't feel bad, but like I mean, if you don't know, you don't know.
• 9:01
  Andrea Nunez: Yeah, everyone has those things.
• 9:02
  Andrea Nunez: If you don't know, you don't know.
• 9:04
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, but I felt so grateful, like to and like.
• 9:07
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember you thinking I was over the top, crazy psyched about learning it, but still, it still sticks with me today.
• 9:14
  Carmen Lezeth: It's still a thing you know.
• 9:16
  Carmen Lezeth: So I'm going to segue into this other thing, because this just happened to me this week.
• 9:19
  Carmen Lezeth: It was one of the questions I sent, which was you know, have something to talk about work related, not a personal, and something that gave you joy.
• 9:26
  Carmen Lezeth: So I was starting to a friend today not today, I think, it was Saturday or Sunday on the phone.
• 9:31
  Carmen Lezeth: He called me and everyone knows, first of all, I talk a lot, but secondly, more importantly, I write long ass emails.
• 9:37
  Carmen Lezeth: If you work with me, I will send you an email and you will have all the information.
• 9:42
  Carmen Lezeth: You need not to bother me for the rest of the fucking day to do whatever it is you need to do.
• 9:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not going to apologize for that.
• 9:47
  Carmen Lezeth: I speak the way I write.
• 9:48
  Carmen Lezeth: I write the way I speak.
• 9:50
  Carmen Lezeth: It's very easy for me and I type really fast, okay.
• 9:53
  Carmen Lezeth: However, when you're talking to a friend especially men who have no patience when you're having a conversation, what, sorry, rick, he's like it was a break.
• 10:04
  Carmen Lezeth: It was a break, it was.
• 10:05
  Carmen Lezeth: It was not Rick.
• 10:12
  Carmen Lezeth: This was not a conversation with Rick.
• 10:13
  Carmen Lezeth: I am so sorry because, rick, you're just one of the girls, honey, I didn't even think of that.
• 10:18
  Carmen Lezeth: No, no, it was not Rick.
• 10:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Anyways, he kind of insinuated that he didn't read the whole email.
• 10:25
  Carmen Lezeth: Blow blood, which is not the first time I've heard people say that to me.
• 10:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Friends can get away with that.
• 10:29
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 10:30
  Carmen Lezeth: So I said you know what, don't worry about it, I'll stop writing you long emails, it's no big deal.
• 10:36
  Carmen Lezeth: And he turned around and he said and I don't know why it affected me so much with it the same thing, andrea, with you, like the serrated knife thing, like I'm never gonna pick.
• 10:44
  Carmen Lezeth: All he said was keep being you, that's okay, keep being you.
• 10:48
  Carmen Lezeth: We kept talking, whatever.
• 10:50
  Carmen Lezeth: I got off the phone, I started bawling, crying.
• 10:52
  Carmen Lezeth: I was like he's accept.
• 10:55
  Carmen Lezeth: I was like what is wrong with me?
• 10:57
  Carmen Lezeth: He loved me.
• 10:57
  Carmen Lezeth: I was like, hmm, but anyway, have you guys ever had anything that happened like that, where you, I don't know, did you experience this?
• 11:05
  Carmen Lezeth: For me was a joyful moment when he did that, and I let him know the next day, and of course he texts me again and was just even more lovely and I was like I love you and I was like.
• 11:17
  Rick Costa: I do have a app.
• 11:17
  Rick Costa: It's called Marco Polo.
• 11:18
  Rick Costa: It's kind of like FaceTime, but except instead of being live, it's recorded, so that way you don't have to actually be in their presence live.
• 11:24
  Rick Costa: And so me and my best friend talking there all the time and one thing that he does that annoys that's what I mean all the time.
• 11:28
  Rick Costa: Yeah, I'm responding back to you, but I'm going to finish listening to your message a little bit later and I'm like then why did you respond now?
• 11:34
  Rick Costa: Just get to it when you can.
• 11:35
  Rick Costa: Why do you do this?
• 11:36
  Rick Costa: Or he goes through the drive, he starts to Marco Polo me, he starts to message me yeah, can I get a number two?
• 11:42
  Rick Costa: Why we couldn't wait until you were out of the line.
• 11:44
  Rick Costa: What are you doing?
• 11:46
  Andrea Nunez: I'm going to stick up for your friend Rick, because if anyone knows this about me, I will wait to contact people until I have three hours.
• 11:56
  Andrea Nunez: I'm like OK, I'm going to call Carmen, but I need to set aside a day because I want to get it all in, instead of being that person who's just checking in regularly.
• 12:06
  Andrea Nunez: I kind of wish I was that person who was like, hey, yeah, I'm just at the drive-through and I was thinking about this.
• 12:13
  Andrea Nunez: It feels more conversational and in the moment and present he's bringing you into his life.
• 12:18
  Andrea Nunez: I mean, I get what you're saying about, like I didn't finish listening to your message, but I wish I was more like that versus the way that I am, which is like I won't talk to you for a month and a half because I don't have a three-hour stretch to have a conversation with you.
• 12:30
  Carmen Lezeth: But I appreciate that because I think I'm like Rick.
• 12:32
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't want you telling me you're at McDonald's and you know who used to do that all the time, richard.
• 12:38
  Andrea Nunez: I remember he used to blame me I remember him doing that all the time.
• 12:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I hated that Hi.
• 12:43
  Cynthia Ruiz: Frida Lafnaud.
• 12:44
  Cynthia Ruiz: That was funny comment Behind every great woman.
• 12:46
  Carmen Lezeth: There's a man pretending to listen.
• 12:48
  Carmen Lezeth: Why are you taking that joy away from me?
• 12:51
  Carmen Lezeth: No, he meant it.
• 12:53
  Rick Costa: That's Chris.
• 12:54
  Rick Costa: That's the guy that told us about that song Lemony, lemony, lemony, where that song goes.
• 12:58
  Rick Costa: Remember that Lemond song?
• 12:58
  Rick Costa: That's Chris.
• 12:59
  Rick Costa: He was on the show with us while we were even seeing his face until the picture.
• 13:02
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh yeah, y'all, that's right.
• 13:03
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what?
• 13:03
  Carmen Lezeth: But he changed, Was his name always Frida Lafnaud.
• 13:06
  Rick Costa: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's his name.
• 13:07
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, look it.
• 13:08
  Carmen Lezeth: I am terrible with names and I'm also terrible with directions.
• 13:11
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just going to put it wherever I'm driving together.
• 13:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Just these are my two weaknesses.
• 13:14
  Carmen Lezeth: If I don't know you on a regular basis in my face I'm a mess up name, so I apologize.
• 13:19
  Carmen Lezeth: Not really good for me to be in this business, by the way.
• 13:21
  Carmen Lezeth: I completely miss you, Cynthia.
• 13:24
  Carmen Lezeth: What about you, Miss Giggly, Love you.
• 13:27
  Cynthia Ruiz: Oh, one does that to me all the time.
• 13:29
  Cynthia Ruiz: I'll call him for something, and then he just starts a conversation with someone else.
• 13:32
  Cynthia Ruiz: I'm like hello, like I'm on the phone and I'll just hang up, and then he'll come back.
• 13:37
  Cynthia Ruiz: He's like why do you hang up?
• 13:38
  Cynthia Ruiz: I was like you were having a conversation with someone else.
• 13:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Is that like a normal husband wife thing?
• 13:42
  Carmen Lezeth: Now, does that happen all the time With him?
• 13:45
  Carmen Lezeth: It does, oh, it does.
• 13:46
  Carmen Lezeth: So, ok, I don't know if any of you watched the Grammys.
• 13:51
  Carmen Lezeth: I hope you did.
• 13:52
  Carmen Lezeth: Did you watch the Grammys?
• 13:53
  Rick Costa: I did my homework, I did.
• 13:54
  Cynthia Ruiz: Can I tell you I was so mad that I missed it.
• 13:57
  Cynthia Ruiz: I was so mad, so mad.
• 13:59
  Cynthia Ruiz: I missed it because one wanted to watch this stupid movie and I missed the time.
• 14:05
  Cynthia Ruiz: And by the time the movie was over, I caught just the ending.
• 14:08
  Cynthia Ruiz: And I was so mad.
• 14:10
  Rick Costa: And that's one of the most talked about parts Was that ending?
• 14:12
  Rick Costa: Let me tell you.
• 14:13
  Carmen Lezeth: The ending of the Grammys.
• 14:14
  Carmen Lezeth: What happened at the?
• 14:15
  Cynthia Ruiz: end Celine Dion, celine.
• 14:17
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh right, right, right.
• 14:18
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, that was lovely when she came out.
• 14:19
  Carmen Lezeth: So I'm just going to say this when I think of joyful moments, I would show it because I actually have it, I have it recorded and I have it on my YouTube and I have premium YouTube so we could watch it.
• 14:32
  Carmen Lezeth: The problem is, I think my recording in general would get knocked down or I'd get a what is it?
• 14:37
  Carmen Lezeth: A warning or something, because it's owned by CBS.
• 14:39
  Carmen Lezeth: And I don't have exclusive rights, but when they do put it up, because they will eventually put it up right now, everyone's putting up their phone versions or whatever.
• 14:48
  Carmen Lezeth: Don't do that.
• 14:48
  Carmen Lezeth: But right at the beginning, what I think was amazing and I've watched it a million times now Trevor Noah did a great job.
• 14:54
  Carmen Lezeth: Blah, blah, blah, they do one award I think Miley Cyrus wins an award first and then they go to the next moment and you see the guitar and you see a shadow, and you see a black woman's hand, and you know we as the TV audience is.
• 15:11
  Carmen Lezeth: For me, this is the thing about directing that I love, because it creates such an emotional moment.
• 15:16
  Carmen Lezeth: So I'm like, oh my God, it's Tracy Chapman, oh my God.
• 15:19
  Carmen Lezeth: And she starts playing, but the audience can't see her yet.
• 15:23
  Carmen Lezeth: They can hear the music and then, of course, the lights come up and they can and you hear the roar of the audience.
• 15:29
  Carmen Lezeth: I just that whole moment was just exquisite.
• 15:33
  Carmen Lezeth: And then, of course, her voice, her skin, her presence, the song, all of it was just magnificent.
• 15:39
  Carmen Lezeth: And I apologize because I don't remember the gentleman's name the country music star, what's his name?
• 15:45
  Carmen Lezeth: He's the one that brought the song back, basically because he I'm so sorry Somebody in the chat.
• 15:52
  Carmen Lezeth: If you can tell me his name, it's Luke Bryant or Bryant.

  Cynthia Ruiz: Luke Combs.
• 16:00
  Cynthia Ruiz: Oh, you're right, luke Combs, actually Let me apologize because I should know his name.

  Carmen Lezeth: That's very rude of me.
• 16:07
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm going to apologize because he loved the song since he was a kid, and here's what I love about him he's clearly.
• 16:13
  Carmen Lezeth: They've decided she's going to sing one part, he'll sing the next, and they're going to go back and forth, but he can't stop singing.
• 16:18
  Carmen Lezeth: So he's like singing and it's so.
• 16:20
  Carmen Lezeth: You could tell his admiration and I thought I love all of that.

  Carmen Lezeth: It made me so happy.
• 16:34
  Carmen Lezeth: I've watched it so many times, I don't know, but those of you that watched, you had issues with Celine Dion.
• 16:40
  Carmen Lezeth: I hear Rick.
• 16:42
  Rick Costa: Well, at first I'll say Miley Cyrus.
• 16:44
  Rick Costa: She got up and she got her award from Mariah Carey and she was really happy.
• 16:48
  Rick Costa: Obviously, she's like you know what I'm more happy to be up here with Mariah Carey than I'm getting to get this award.
• 16:53
  Rick Costa: So she acknowledged her.
• 16:54
  Rick Costa: Like you should give her the respect she's your predecessor.
• 16:57
  Rick Costa: Respect your people that helped you get to where you are today.
• 17:01
  Carmen Lezeth: Taylor Swift.
• 17:01
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just going to give a shout out to the Swifties.
• 17:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I am not getting in the middle of it.
• 17:09
  Rick Costa: She takes the award from Miss Celine Dion, doesn't even look her, like she's the help, turns around and only cares about her family, her friends and family, totally ignores her completely, like she ain't even there.
• 17:20
  Rick Costa: I'm like that's Celine Dion, what are you doing?
• 17:23
  Rick Costa: I don't know.
• 17:24
  Rick Costa: I thought it was rude as heck I agree, go ahead, cynthia, please.
• 17:28
  Carmen Lezeth: This is a call to town.
• 17:30
  Cynthia Ruiz: That was the one part I did get to see, and me and Juan were both watching it.
• 17:33
  Cynthia Ruiz: We're both like did she just like ignore Celine Dion?
• 17:37
  Cynthia Ruiz: Had that in me, I would have been like bowing down to the woman.
• 17:39
  Cynthia Ruiz: Forget the Grammy, you know.
• 17:41
  Cynthia Ruiz: But yeah, I mean, I know she took a picture with her afterwards backstage and she said she didn't snub her, that she was just in the moment and she was shocked and in my head I'm like shocked, really, you've got nominee Grammys.
• 17:54
  Rick Costa: Yeah, 13th.
• 17:55
  Rick Costa: Right, that was the 13th, her lucky nominee.
• 17:58
  Carmen Lezeth: I can tell by Andrea's face.
• 17:59
  Carmen Lezeth: She's like I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck.
• 18:03
  Carmen Lezeth: I can tell by Andrea's face Don't give a shit.
• 18:09
  Andrea Nunez: I was surprised she didn't say anything.
• 18:11
  Andrea Nunez: But I was surprised and then it left my brain and I did not think another thought about it.
• 18:17
  Andrea Nunez: I was like, oh, ok, I'm going to turn off Billy Joel now.
• 18:21
  Andrea Nunez: Well, that's mean, come on, give them props, it's OK.
• 18:26
  Andrea Nunez: I'm just going to say I really, really don't enjoy Billy Joel's music.
• 18:32
  Andrea Nunez: But it happened to be on and I was doing something else.
• 18:34
  Andrea Nunez: I was like, ok, ok, ok, I don't have to.
• 18:37
  Andrea Nunez: You know, it's not John Denver, I don't have to run into the other room or anything like that.
• 18:41
  Rick Costa: Is it?
• 18:42
  Andrea Nunez: John Denver dead.
• 18:43
  Andrea Nunez: He is, but it's a family joke, how much I strongly, strongly dislike John Denver.
• 18:48
  Andrea Nunez: Ok.
• 18:51
  Rick Costa: May he rest in peace.
• 18:53
  Andrea Nunez: May he rest in peace.
• 18:54
  Andrea Nunez: I'm sure he's a very nice man.
• 18:56
  Andrea Nunez: I just can't.
• 18:57
  Andrea Nunez: Just don't make me a stranger, that's a joke.
• 19:01
  Andrea Nunez: Yeah.
• 19:02
  Andrea Nunez: So I know a lot was made of it, but I was like who effing cares?
• 19:06
  Andrea Nunez: I don't know, I just didn't care.
• 19:07
  Andrea Nunez: Yeah, you're right.
• 19:08
  Cynthia Ruiz: You're right.
• 19:09
  Andrea Nunez: We all do.
• 19:10
  Andrea Nunez: No, I know Everybody cares and I was like all I said was did everyone watch the Grammys?
• 19:15
  Carmen Lezeth: I didn't know.
• 19:16
  Carmen Lezeth: I just didn't know about Taylor Swift.
• 19:18
  Andrea Nunez: This was actually the first time that I had watched the Grammys in many, many years, and the kids wanted to watch it.
• 19:23
  Andrea Nunez: So I was watching it and I mean, obviously, yes, the Tracy Chapman moment was like you know, I mean it was fantastic, amazing.
• 19:34
  Andrea Nunez: Joni Mitchell, joni Mitchell.
• 19:36
  Andrea Nunez: I mean it was a really, I thought a really really good show.
• 19:40
  Carmen Lezeth: Trevor Noah did a great job.
• 19:41
  Rick Costa: He did a great job.
• 19:42
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, and again, I wish people who do the Oscars or whatever would get back to being people who care more about the audience than their own career.
• 19:51
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm sorry, I know, over comedians who are doing the Oscars and always worried about how they fare as opposed to how they can make it a joyful thing.
• 19:59
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, I think that's been part of the problem, Not only you just said how can you not enjoy Billy Joel's music?
• 20:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I think after didn't he do piano man?
• 20:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I think after that I was kind of I don't remember.
• 20:11
  Andrea Nunez: I mean, I there's just like I know, I'm just bitchy like that there's just certain voices that are like here's the thing about Andrea.
• 20:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm giving you all more information about Andrea.
• 20:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Don't mess with her music, because you're not going to win.
• 20:25
  Carmen Lezeth: You're not going to win.
• 20:27
  Carmen Lezeth: She knows every piece of music.
• 20:28
  Carmen Lezeth: She can tell you whether she likes it or not.
• 20:31
  Carmen Lezeth: And why don't even fight?
• 20:32
  Carmen Lezeth: It's like me fighting with her watching ET.
• 20:35
  Carmen Lezeth: It's never going to happen.
• 20:36
  Carmen Lezeth: It's just not going to happen.
• 20:37
  Rick Costa: Different strokes for different folks, right?
• 20:38
  Rick Costa: Yeah, yeah.
• 20:39
  Andrea Nunez: I mean, I'm nothing wrong with it, it's just not for me, I know.
• 20:44
  Carmen Lezeth: I was shocked when you called me.
• 20:45
  Carmen Lezeth: I think you called me because George Michael had passed away and you knew that I loved him so much.
• 20:51
  Carmen Lezeth: It was Christmas day and I was crying my eyes out and the first person to reach out to me and cause I was sure you did not like George Michael at all, cause that's what I had thought.
• 20:59
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean?
• 21:00
  Carmen Lezeth: Cause I was like I'm messing with her with her music.
• 21:02
  Carmen Lezeth: So I'll never forget that.
• 21:03
  Carmen Lezeth: You see how important you is.
• 21:05
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not going to get broke with you.
• 21:06
  Carmen Lezeth: So Asher said I'm the same Andrea with certain voices.
• 21:10
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, me too.
• 21:11
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean everybody, who, who, who, who, Asher said not like ET as a crime, though Asher's not that she don't like it.
• 21:18
  Carmen Lezeth: She will not watch it.
• 21:19
  Carmen Lezeth: I promise you, if she watched it she would like it, but she won't.
• 21:23
  Andrea Nunez: And I don't disagree with it.
• 21:24
  Andrea Nunez: I don't want to like it and that's.
• 21:27
  Andrea Nunez: That's just my, you know one of my many flaws on that kind of person.
• 21:32
  Carmen Lezeth: So I mean I'm on my death bed.
• 21:33
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm going to be like Andrea please.
• 21:35

• 21:42
  Cynthia Ruiz: She's going to have.

• 21:51
  Carmen Lezeth: At my funeral.

  Carmen Lezeth: She just loved it.
• 22:08
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I, I loved the Grammys.
• 22:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Look at here's the thing she said the other day.
• 22:15
  Carmen Lezeth: I just feel like they're shoving Taylor slip down our throats.
• 22:18
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm like, please stop, like, just stop.
• 22:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Would you leave this young woman alone?
• 22:24
  Carmen Lezeth: All your jealousy and anger and hatred towards this young woman?
• 22:28
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't care what you like Her music or not.
• 22:30
  Carmen Lezeth: The kids do.
• 22:32
  Carmen Lezeth: She is talented.
• 22:33
  Carmen Lezeth: She's not out there showing her titties and her ass and you know she is like I'm okay with whatever it is she's doing because she's not doing anything to harm anyone.
• 22:43
  Carmen Lezeth: She's writing her.
• 22:45
  Carmen Lezeth: She writes her own music most of the time.
• 22:47
  Carmen Lezeth: Right, I mean, she's talented.
• 22:49
  Rick Costa: Isn't it put up to a vote?
• 22:50
  Rick Costa: I'm sorry, isn't it put up to a vote?
• 22:52
  Rick Costa: It's not like one person decides.
• 22:54
  Rick Costa: Like it's put up to a vote.
• 22:55
  Rick Costa: What, what decide.
• 22:56
  Carmen Lezeth: What are we talking about?
• 22:56
  Carmen Lezeth: The award.
• 22:57
  Rick Costa: Who wins?
• 22:58
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I'm not even talking about the award, I'm talking about the hatred towards her.
• 23:01
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just like you know, everybody's just so angst about this woman who is so talented and amazing and great.
• 23:06
  Carmen Lezeth: And you know, look at the whole thing with Celine Dion.
• 23:09
  Carmen Lezeth: Again, I want to give people the benefit of the doubt.
• 23:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Now, if she had gone up there and was like fuck you, give me my, you know, horrible Like, if she had done something that I I think she was.
• 23:23
  Carmen Lezeth: And this is indicative of what I think is wrong with part of our generation today.
• 23:26
  Carmen Lezeth: We lack consideration, we lack manners, we lack the ability to acknowledge other people.
• 23:33
  Carmen Lezeth: We are very self absorbed.
• 23:34
  Carmen Lezeth: She's not the only one.
• 23:36
  Carmen Lezeth: All of us have this problem and it's part of our society today.
• 23:42
  Carmen Lezeth: It's the reason why we're politically estranged.
• 23:45
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 23:46
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know if estranged is the right word, but we're just.
• 23:48
  Carmen Lezeth: We can't talk to each other.
• 23:50
  Carmen Lezeth: We get angry with each other.
• 23:51
  Carmen Lezeth: We can't have conversations with each other.
• 23:53
  Carmen Lezeth: If somebody doesn't like you, it's like then you have to go and stalk them and be mean and cruel and whatever.
• 23:57
  Carmen Lezeth: Like.
• 23:57
  Carmen Lezeth: There's no ability to have grace is what I'm saying and I'm not going to put that all on this young child who is dealing with and how old is she?
• 24:06
  Carmen Lezeth: Like 30 something.
• 24:08
  Carmen Lezeth: To me she's young, and here's what I'm saying.
• 24:09
  Carmen Lezeth: She's been dealing with stardom since she was a kid and she has been handling it better than most of the veterans in her industry, and she was young when this all happened to her, so I'm not mad at her.
• 24:22
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, Celine Dion is also someone who I think is brilliant enough, fantastic enough, to have withstood a small diss or whatever we all think it was.
• 24:33
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm sure Celine is not upset about it and if she was, I'm sure she's over it by now.
• 24:37
  Carmen Lezeth: She has clearly bigger things to be dealing with.
• 24:40
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, God bless her.
• 24:42
  Carmen Lezeth: So how did you guys feel If you've even heard about?
• 24:45
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh wait, Ash asked a question.
• 24:47
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm so sorry.
• 24:47
  Carmen Lezeth: Let me start with Mario.
• 24:50
  Carmen Lezeth: It's media over saturation and people get burnt out.
• 24:53
  Carmen Lezeth: Turn off the damn media.
• 24:55
  Carmen Lezeth: You're right, Mario, but people can turn it off, Like that's the thing.
• 24:58
  Carmen Lezeth: Taylor Swift isn't showing up at your house forcing you to listen to her music.
• 25:03
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know one fucking song.
• 25:06
  Carmen Lezeth: The only song I know, let me stop line is Shake it Off.
• 25:09
  Carmen Lezeth: When did that come out?
• 25:10
  Carmen Lezeth: That was like a long time ago.
• 25:11
  Carmen Lezeth: That's only because it crossed over accidentally when I was on Twitter many, many years ago and I was like that's a cute song, and I saw the video.
• 25:17
  Carmen Lezeth: That's the only song I know of hers.
• 25:19
  Carmen Lezeth: If you don't want to watch her, you will not find her.
• 25:22
  Andrea Nunez: I don't see her on my feed ever ever Well, and people dissect not just with her, with all celebrities.
• 25:28
  Andrea Nunez: People dissect every movement.
• 25:31
  Andrea Nunez: They're trying to lip read and see where your hand was and what your eyes were doing.
• 25:36
  Andrea Nunez: It's like in a millisecond time.
• 25:39
  Andrea Nunez: You know what I mean Like the frames of a picture.
• 25:41
  Andrea Nunez: It's like who could withstand that?
• 25:44
  Andrea Nunez: Yeah, who could withstand people dissecting your every single movement and thing that you said, maybe said it's just a lot.
• 25:53
  Carmen Lezeth: Everyone just needs to chill out, Ashton said I'll play devil's advocate.
• 25:56
  Carmen Lezeth: I respect what Celine Dion has done in music, but I can't stand her voice.
• 25:59
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, I mean, she has a beautiful voice, not my music, not my thing, but I don't hate her music.
• 26:09
  Carmen Lezeth: But you know, and she's also just one of those people who's just had the most tragic life, it's just her husband died, her brother died.
• 26:17
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean just one thing.
• 26:18
  Carmen Lezeth: She has this horrible disease.
• 26:20
  Carmen Lezeth: That's a rare thing and I you know yeah.
• 26:24
  Rick Costa: I hear you Ash.
• 26:27
  Carmen Lezeth: And Mario, I know she's everywhere.
• 26:28
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just saying she's also everywhere because that's how the algorithm knows that you're watching it.
• 26:33
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 26:33
  Carmen Lezeth: You can.
• 26:34
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not trying to blame it on you, but I honestly, on my mother's grave and I don't say that often I don't see anything about Taylor Swift until it's the Grammys, and I see it because I'm watching everything on the Grammys.
• 26:45
  Carmen Lezeth: So now the Grammys, but I don't see her stuff every day.
• 26:47
  Carmen Lezeth: And I know football people all upset, Get over it.
• 26:52
  Rick Costa: I like Ash's subtle disc, though A couple of comments down to Taylor.
• 26:56
  Rick Costa: I don't care.
• 26:57
  Rick Costa: Either way, she seems fine for her age group.
• 26:59
  Rick Costa: Settle disc.
• 27:02
  Carmen Lezeth: Well, I mean, you know it's true it's not my music, it's just not my music and it's fine.
• 27:08
  Carmen Lezeth: But you know what, Half the performances up there weren't my music.
• 27:11
  Carmen Lezeth: So I know I'm getting old, because I was like I have no idea who this is Like, yeah, like this music.
• 27:16
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean that was like nice sex, like I must have said that I was nice, love her hair.
• 27:23
  Andrea Nunez: I mean, that's the stuff I was doing.
• 27:24
  Andrea Nunez: No idea who this is, but that's a really cute dress.
• 27:31
  Rick Costa: That's some interesting blood flowing down the balls behind this chick.
• 27:34
  Rick Costa: Yeah, okay, yeah.
• 27:37
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, I didn't know a lot of these people.
• 27:40
  Carmen Lezeth: Melanie said I want to watch a football game without it being over saturated with Taylor Swift other than her boyfriend.
• 27:45
  Carmen Lezeth: What does she have to do with football?
• 27:46
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, but my argument for that, melanie, hear me out here.
• 27:49
  Carmen Lezeth: Taylor Swift is not in control of the cameras.
• 27:53
  Carmen Lezeth: Your argument isn't with Taylor Swift, it's with the NFL, who are trying to use her as a wedge to do this to all of you.
• 28:02
  Carmen Lezeth: They're trying to do it to bring more people into the NFL.
• 28:06
  Rick Costa: Right.
• 28:06
  Carmen Lezeth: So that's what I'm trying to say.
• 28:08
  Carmen Lezeth: Be careful of who you're angry with.
• 28:10
  Carmen Lezeth: Taylor Swift, last time I noticed is not walking around with a camera on her shoulder, being like, hey, here I am.
• 28:17
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 28:17
  Carmen Lezeth: That's the problem that your anger isn't with her, it's with the NFL.
• 28:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Ashley, I don't watch football either, so I don't see them on my algorithm, yeah, and I don't listen to her music, I don't you know?
• 28:28
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, I know who Kelsey.
• 28:30
  Carmen Lezeth: What's his name?
• 28:30
  Carmen Lezeth: Kelsey Grammer?
• 28:31
  Carmen Lezeth: No, it's not.
• 28:32
  Carmen Lezeth: What's his name?
• 28:34
  Rick Costa: Kelsey Frazier hey baby, I hear the blues are calling, while cell is in a scrambled egg.
• 28:39
  Carmen Lezeth: We're going to start to ruin her.
• 28:40
  Carmen Lezeth: Taylor Swift is meeting Kelsey Grammer.
• 28:43
  Carmen Lezeth: Who is she meeting, kelsey?
• 28:46
  Andrea Nunez: You guys don't even know his name, I think the last name's Kelsey, or Kelsey Travis that's his name, travis.
• 28:52
  Carmen Lezeth: First name is Travis.
• 28:54
  Rick Costa: Where's late night parents when you need them?
• 28:55
  Carmen Lezeth: I know right.
• 28:56
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, here's one thing, the reason why I know who this mofo is.
• 29:00
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm going to call him a mofo because the 49ers are going to win.
• 29:02
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't even know.
• 29:03
  Rick Costa: Thank you, mama.
• 29:03
  Carmen Lezeth: We in California.
• 29:04
  Carmen Lezeth: So I'm saying they're going to win.
• 29:05
  Carmen Lezeth: But the reason why is because somehow and it's not his fault, it's not this man's fault, I know it's not his fault, but he hasn't come out and said anything.
• 29:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Somehow, barbers across America white barbers are now saying that everybody's coming in to get the Kelsey.
• 29:20
  Carmen Lezeth: What's his name?
• 29:20
  Carmen Lezeth: Travis, kelsey, kelsey, travis, the Kelsey Travis haircut.
• 29:26
  Carmen Lezeth: What's his first name and what's his last name?
• 29:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Travis is the first name, okay, travis.
• 29:31
  Carmen Lezeth: So there was an article, I think it was in the New York Times, where they said that, barb, they interviewed a barber who's like charges his barber, charges him like $1,000 for his haircut and he's like it's so weird because everybody now wants to come in and get the Travis Kelsey haircut.
• 29:47
  Carmen Lezeth: Motherfucking, that's a fade.
• 29:49
  Carmen Lezeth: Black people been getting a fade since like 1980, bitch, you know what I mean.
• 29:53
  Carmen Lezeth: Like, are you kidding me?
• 29:55
  Carmen Lezeth: So that's why I know what his name is.
• 29:58
  Carmen Lezeth: Other than that, I knew that they were making a big deal about the football player that was dating what's her name?
• 30:01
  Carmen Lezeth: But I was like hell to the no.
• 30:04
  Carmen Lezeth: They are appropriating what is a black man's haircut that they've been getting for decades and they're giving him the credit which you know we don't need to get into race here, but I'm just saying that's why I know that mofo's that and again, not his fault, but he has.
• 30:21
  Carmen Lezeth: I was waiting for him to come out.
• 30:22
  Carmen Lezeth: I put a little thing subject thing of alerts with his name in it, because I'm waiting for him to come and be like yeah, no, my haircut is it.
• 30:29
  Carmen Lezeth: But he's not going to do that because it's going to diss his barber.
• 30:31
  Carmen Lezeth: It's his barber's fault.
• 30:32
  Carmen Lezeth: Sorry, I got a little emotional because I was very upset about that.
• 30:36
  Carmen Lezeth: I thought that was tacky.
• 30:37
  Carmen Lezeth: He needs to come out and say something.
• 30:41
  Carmen Lezeth: You're all like, really, you're that upset about a thing?
• 30:43
  Carmen Lezeth: Yes, that's how it happens, and it wasn't just me.
• 30:47
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, you can imagine I was upset because I was reading it on the roots, I was reading it on all these other articles and then I was like, oh my God.
• 30:54
  Carmen Lezeth: Then I went to the New York Times article and the person who voted didn't investigate it at all.
• 30:59
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, okay, let's go on to our next subject.
• 31:03
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm a little bit.

• 31:09
  Carmen Lezeth: The chili comes out about the pain.
• 31:12
  Carmen Lezeth: All right, I was just asking what are some other moments from television or movies or from our time that you remember that might be joyful.
• 31:21
  Carmen Lezeth: I brought up Prince at the Super Bowl, unbelievable, joyful moment.
• 31:26
  Andrea Nunez: You can Google that again I mean, yeah, that was incredible, I said in the rain.
• 31:33
  Carmen Lezeth: I still think that's the best Super Bowl halftime show Can't be topped.
• 31:37
  Rick Costa: Won't be topped, yeah, I know, I actually saw in my feed after watching that because you sent me a link they found a video of him as a kid.
• 31:44
  Rick Costa: Like somebody accidentally found it.
• 31:46
  Rick Costa: Did you see that?
• 31:47
  Carmen Lezeth: Which what.
• 31:47
  Carmen Lezeth: There's so many videos that everyone accidentally found which one.
• 31:51
  Rick Costa: He was a little, he was Prince.
• 31:52
  Rick Costa: It was literally a little little kid and they just were asking different people.
• 31:56
  Rick Costa: Literally they were asking Like news people were just asking people questions and I forgot what they asked me exactly.
• 32:01
  Rick Costa: And he was like, yeah, da, da, da da.
• 32:02
  Rick Costa: And people were like and they went to people that knew him as a kid and they were like, oh my gosh, and they called him a different name.
• 32:07
  Rick Costa: I forgot what the name was and they were like that's so cute that they don't call him Prince.
• 32:10
  Rick Costa: They called him what they called him when he was a kid.
• 32:12
  Carmen Lezeth: But and that was a lot I mean I saw that.
• 32:14
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean I remember because he was I forget what the whole premise was of that but they were interviewing him or something, but he wasn't Prince.
• 32:19
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean he was Prince but he wasn't famous or whatever.
• 32:21
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember that interview, yeah.
• 32:23
  Rick Costa: Literally a kid.
• 32:23
  Rick Costa: He wasn't even a teenager, he was little.
• 32:25
  Rick Costa: I know literally again, he keeps saying.
• 32:26
  Carmen Lezeth: No, I'm just cracking up, as opposed to pretending he was a kid.
• 32:31
  Cynthia Ruiz: I think, Exactly.
• 32:33
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, he was on the local news, but I forget what the subject matter was, but I did see that, yeah, but do you guys have other moments that you remember at all?
• 32:40
  Carmen Lezeth: Are you looking forward to Usher at the Super Bowl?
• 32:43
  Carmen Lezeth: Are you going to watch the Super Bowl?

  Cynthia Ruiz: He was on there before.
• 32:51
  Cynthia Ruiz: Who, usher?
• 32:52
  Cynthia Ruiz: He was on there when, oh who else was on there?
• 32:55
  Cynthia Ruiz: There was another artist who was the main one, but then Usher came out.
• 32:58
  Cynthia Ruiz: Oh, black Eyed Peas.
• 33:00
  Cynthia Ruiz: It was Black Eyed Peas when they were on, and then Usher came out.
• 33:04
  Cynthia Ruiz: So this will be his second time, I think, but he's headlining it right.
• 33:07
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, I don't remember the Black Eyed Peas, so it couldn't have been that good.
• 33:10
  Carmen Lezeth: But no, I'm just kidding.
• 33:11
  Cynthia Ruiz: You know the Black.
• 33:11
  Rick Costa: Eyed Peas.
• 33:12
  Rick Costa: I'm just saying I don't remember.
• 33:13
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember Bono after 9-11, you two.
• 33:16
  Carmen Lezeth: I remember that that was pretty incredible Because he did all the names on the white back screen and then at the end, which was such a small, and this is why I don't understand why people don't get.
• 33:29
  Carmen Lezeth: You don't have to have 95 naked dancers around.
• 33:32
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 33:33
  Carmen Lezeth: But all he did was open up his jacket and it had the American flag on it.
• 33:37
  Carmen Lezeth: There was just kind of this cool moment where you're like you know he's not.
• 33:41
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, I'm sure he's American.
• 33:42
  Carmen Lezeth: But, you know what I mean.
• 33:43
  Carmen Lezeth: It was just a cool moment, and I'm sure he has dual citizenship because he's Ireland, right, he's Irish or whatever.
• 33:48
  Carmen Lezeth: So, yeah, that's probably my second favorite.
• 33:51
  Carmen Lezeth: My first favorite is Prince, I think the 9.
• 33:55
  Carmen Lezeth: Not 9-11.
• 33:56
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not going to call it that, but you two, after 9-11, was amazing.
• 34:00
  Carmen Lezeth: And then after that I'm just going to give it to Beyonce, and it was cold played.
• 34:04
  Carmen Lezeth: But Beyonce and what's his name came out?
• 34:07
  Carmen Lezeth: Little guy.
• 34:09
  Carmen Lezeth: Awesome.
• 34:10
  Carmen Lezeth: Bruno Mars, oh, little guy.
• 34:13
  Rick Costa: Little guy.
• 34:16
  Carmen Lezeth: He's short, he's short, but he's amazing.
• 34:18
  Carmen Lezeth: But they came up, but it was cold play.
• 34:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't have to.
• 34:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean no offense to cold play, don't need no cold play, but when they come out and they do the little battle between each other, I thought that was a good moment too.
• 34:28
  Cynthia Ruiz: So the one I liked that was 50-50 was Jennifer Lopez, shakira, and you know how I feel about Jennifer Lopez.
• 34:37
  Cynthia Ruiz: Okay, that's why I said 50-50.
• 34:41
  Cynthia Ruiz: I love Shakira, love Shakira.
• 34:47
  Carmen Lezeth: She loves Shakira.
• 34:48
  Carmen Lezeth: She really loves Shakira.
• 34:48
  Carmen Lezeth: We don't hate Jennifer Lopez.
• 34:52
  Cynthia Ruiz: No, we don't hate her.
• 34:52
  Cynthia Ruiz: I just, honestly, I just feel like she's kind of been lightwashed in a way.
• 34:57
  Cynthia Ruiz: That's how I feel.
• 34:59
  Cynthia Ruiz: I can't see if anybody else, but I feel like she don't whitewash.
• 35:02
  Cynthia Ruiz: I feel like all the roles that she plays are not Latino roles and they don't suit her Like you mean.
• 35:09
  Carmen Lezeth: Like made in Manhattan.
• 35:10
  Carmen Lezeth: You want me to go down the list Movies.
• 35:15
  Carmen Lezeth: Let me just read some of the comments.
• 35:17
  Carmen Lezeth: So Janet Superbowl performance was great other than Nipplegate.
• 35:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't remember Janet's, because all I remember is the Nipplegate thing.
• 35:23
  Carmen Lezeth: And we love Janet Jackson and that's why we celebrate her on Superbowl Sunday, because when we call it we have a special name for the day.
• 35:31
  Carmen Lezeth: We celebrate Janet Jackson.
• 35:32
  Carmen Lezeth: Alma said he.
• 35:34
  Carmen Lezeth: I think she's talking about Mr Kelsey Grammar, whatever his name is.
• 35:39
  Rick Costa: Travis, travis, kelsey.
• 35:42
  Carmen Lezeth: He did say he did not invent it, that he only asked for it, and that the person who wrote the article was messed up for putting it out on February 1st and throwing him to the wolf.
• 35:51
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, because it's also Black History Month, right, and that was the other part of it.
• 35:54
  Carmen Lezeth: So when you say he it was the hairdresser, right, I mean the barber, whatever hair, whatever the right terminology is for hair cutting human beings, because I don't know what it is Okay, well then, I give him credit.
• 36:05
  Carmen Lezeth: But that was horrible.
• 36:06
  Carmen Lezeth: Dr Dre in LA.
• 36:09
  Cynthia Ruiz: Oh.
• 36:09
  Carmen Lezeth: Mario, that was awesome and, yes, you know what that's going to be.
• 36:14
  Carmen Lezeth: I think I'm going to put that as, like with my Beyoncé and Bruno Mars.
• 36:18
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm going to put them as a tie, but they were, you know what, Okay, okay, okay, I revise, I revise, I'm going to put them at three and I'm going to put Bruno Mars and Beyoncé at four only because they weren't headlining.
• 36:30
  Carmen Lezeth: They joined Coldplay.
• 36:31
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, thank you.
• 36:33
  Carmen Lezeth: Thank you so much.
• 36:33
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm sorry.
• 36:35
  Carmen Lezeth: J-lo can dance but can't sing and she leans into the Latina side when it's convenient.
• 36:39
  Carmen Lezeth: I love Shakira too.
• 36:40
  Carmen Lezeth: Here's my feeling on J-Lo.
• 36:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I both want to support her, but then want to beat the crap out of her because I'm like why?
• 36:49
  Carmen Lezeth: Here's my problem with any celebrity who's like oh my God, I just eat well Again, if this serum is so good.
• 37:00
  Carmen Lezeth: That's why I keep a healthy glow Bitch.
• 37:03
  Carmen Lezeth: Stop.
• 37:03
  Carmen Lezeth: You work out every day, 19 hours a day, with trainers.
• 37:08
  Carmen Lezeth: You have a chef.
• 37:09
  Carmen Lezeth: You don't do, you don't clean.
• 37:11
  Carmen Lezeth: I cleaned my bathroom today.
• 37:13
  Carmen Lezeth: My cell phone cleaned it before I went to work.
• 37:16
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 37:17
  Carmen Lezeth: I ain't got no nails because I have to type all day long.
• 37:20
  Carmen Lezeth: You know like, stop it.
• 37:22
  Carmen Lezeth: And I don't even have it as hard as other people.
• 37:24
  Carmen Lezeth: So it's like that's what I can't stand the lies, the lies.
• 37:28
  Carmen Lezeth: And it goes into the singing.
• 37:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean they did her wrong when they took away the mic.
• 37:35
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know if you know that guy on Instagram and TikTok he takes away the background music so that you can just hear the acapella.
• 37:42
  Carmen Lezeth: Have you heard that?
• 37:44
  Carmen Lezeth: No, Because you know, if you are audio person, you can turn around and you can manipulate.
• 37:50
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean, sometimes, when I because I'm not even good at it, but I can go in and manipulate, Sometimes, like, well, Rick will say something, I can go in and edit it so that it flows into another sentence, Not to change anything, but to take out a sloughing or whatever it is.
• 38:04
  Carmen Lezeth: So you know, there's a.
• 38:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I'll send you all the link.
• 38:07
  Carmen Lezeth: There's a guy, or maybe it's a woman, but I think it's a man.
• 38:10
  Carmen Lezeth: He takes out everybody's audio.
• 38:12
  Carmen Lezeth: So you hear Whitney Houston.
• 38:13
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean Michael Jackson, and I'm going to guess that, by the way, but Michael Jackson's voice on point when you like it.
• 38:22
  Rick Costa: About the point I've seen.
• 38:23
  Carmen Lezeth: Michael Jackson once, yeah, point, and he does it with all of them.
• 38:26
  Carmen Lezeth: He did Jennifer Lopez and I was like, oh my God, take that down.
• 38:28
  Carmen Lezeth: That's so wrong, please stop.
• 38:31
  Carmen Lezeth: That's so wrong to do that to her, because it's bad Wow.
• 38:34
  Andrea Nunez: I just saw her.
• 38:35
  Andrea Nunez: She was on Saturday Night Live last week.
• 38:37
  Andrea Nunez: I guess I didn't see it.
• 38:38
  Andrea Nunez: I will ask it's what happened?
• 38:41
  Andrea Nunez: It's just she's so bad.
• 38:43
  Andrea Nunez: She's so bad.
• 38:44
  Andrea Nunez: Wait, she was singing.
• 38:46
  Andrea Nunez: She was singing, yeah, she was the musical guest, oh no, and so.
• 38:51
  Andrea Nunez: And so I was watching it with my daughter and you know I can't remember what we were saying and I was like you know, the thing with Jennifer Lopez is stunning, badass dancer.
• 39:01
  Andrea Nunez: Girl can dance, girl can move.
• 39:03
  Andrea Nunez: Obviously a performer.
• 39:05
  Andrea Nunez: Turn that shit down, honey.
• 39:06
  Andrea Nunez: We don't want to hear it.
• 39:10
  Carmen Lezeth: I have no problem with people who are performers, because there are differences.
• 39:13
  Carmen Lezeth: Right, madonna is a performer.
• 39:15
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I don't think Madonna has the best voice Don't come at me, madonna, people do not but that woman can absolutely sing in her range.
• 39:24
  Carmen Lezeth: She doesn't try to do what she can't do and I don't think she's using auto tune.
• 39:27
  Carmen Lezeth: Maybe older, as she's gotten older, but I, I don't know, I'm not that big of a fan.
• 39:31
  Carmen Lezeth: What I'm saying is she stays in her lane.
• 39:34
  Carmen Lezeth: But I do want to address something that Alma said, and this is where I feel bad, because I'm going to defend JLo a little bit and I hate having to do this.
• 39:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, the problem with Hollywood is Hollywood still, to this day they're getting better at it Still believes that when you say Latino, a Latino actor or actress, all you get are roles made for white, latina people, latino people.
• 39:56
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean Unless you're playing some Mexican gang bang or something.
• 39:59
  Carmen Lezeth: You know a guy.
• 40:00
  Carmen Lezeth: Then they're like oh yeah, we need the ones with tattoos and blah blah.
• 40:03
  Carmen Lezeth: But like I'm Latina, I've never gone out for a Latina role that I got, and even when I went to audition they were like oh yeah, no, why did your agent send you in Because I'm Africana, latina, right, afro Latina.
• 40:16
  Carmen Lezeth: So we're still in that place where we are still not accepting that there are just so many flavors in the Latin community.
• 40:23
  Carmen Lezeth: And so the reason why I'm going to defend JLo a little bit is she going to take the roles that she can get.
• 40:29
  Carmen Lezeth: Look at, people don't realize this.
• 40:31
  Carmen Lezeth: I've talked about this before.
• 40:32
  Carmen Lezeth: Martin Sheehan, who I love with all my heart, old school actor, is Latino.
• 40:37
  Carmen Lezeth: He changed his name so that he could get roles.
• 40:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Now you're talking about back in the day, but I mean he did the whole West Wing, all these movies.
• 40:45
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 40:46
  Carmen Lezeth: And everyone up until recently thought he is just American, white.
• 40:51
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 40:51
  Carmen Lezeth: But he's Latino.
• 40:52
  Carmen Lezeth: That means his sons are Latino, right?
• 40:55
  Carmen Lezeth: So Charlie Sheehan and Emilio Estabes, who did keep his name.
• 40:59
  Carmen Lezeth: So Hollywood is evolving, you know what I mean.
• 41:02
  Carmen Lezeth: So my only problem with putting that on JLo is I think she is in that situation.
• 41:08
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean we're beyond it.
• 41:11
  Carmen Lezeth: But Jessica Alba, people don't realize she's Latina.
• 41:14
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 41:15
  Carmen Lezeth: There were so many people that can pass, that will take whatever roles they can get and then, when it's convenient, walk into the Latino community and I wanna blame them, but I'm here and so I see that and I understand it.
• 41:29
  Carmen Lezeth: But I have enough on JLo to be angry with her.
• 41:31
  Carmen Lezeth: So I'm on your side, I'm on team, I'm on everybody else, cause I don't like the lying and you don't have to be so overt about it.
• 41:40
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, I don't think she can speak Spanish either.
• 41:42
  Carmen Lezeth: Her husband, her ex-husband, no, no, is it her husband?
• 41:45
  Carmen Lezeth: Now, yeah, an affliction, speak Spanish better than she does.
• 41:50
  Carmen Lezeth: Wow, I mean, he is fluent, like fluent.
• 41:54
  Carmen Lezeth: Not that I'm saying you have to speak Spanish to qualify as a Latino cause.
• 42:00
  Carmen Lezeth: That's not my poigneta, I would fail, although I do speak Spanish.
• 42:03
  Carmen Lezeth: But I'm saying, but it's just an interesting thing, like when you hear him speak Spanish, I was like he's got all the intonations and the culture and whatever, and I'm like and she's kind of in that middle stage, you know.
• 42:14
  Carmen Lezeth: So I don't know.
• 42:15
  Rick Costa: She can speak Spanish.
• 42:17
  Rick Costa: I think she can speak Spanish.
• 42:18
  Rick Costa: The first time I ever saw her was in Living Color dancing J-Lo.
• 42:21
  Carmen Lezeth: That's what we all saw her.
• 42:22
  Rick Costa: That's what she got her star.
• 42:23
  Carmen Lezeth: And then she did Selena and she was amazing in Selena, Just amazing, you know.
• 42:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Like that's how she got her thing.
• 42:29
  Carmen Lezeth: And then I don't know what happened.
• 42:31
  Carmen Lezeth: Jenny from the block got it all up in her head or something.
• 42:35
  Carmen Lezeth: Remember that song?
• 42:37
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, I remember that one, jenny from the block or whatever.
• 42:39
  Carmen Lezeth: Hi, yeah, I don't know.

• 42:51
  Carmen Lezeth: It's Andrea who made you and we want you to do better, in the words of Sean Carter.
• 42:55
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, but here's the thing though.
• 42:58
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what People ask her to sing, I don't get it.
• 43:01
  Andrea Nunez: My mom saw her at a concert and loved it.
• 43:06
  Andrea Nunez: By the way, she was into it.
• 43:10
  Carmen Lezeth: OK, well OK.
• 43:11
  Carmen Lezeth: So we're missing some, we're missing some.
• 43:12
  Andrea Nunez: I mean, you know, it was like a lady's night out and I'm glad she went and I was like this woman has a better social life than I do.
• 43:19
  Carmen Lezeth: But I should do Because Daniel wanted to get us tickets to various different things.
• 43:23
  Carmen Lezeth: I was going to name one, and then I realized I had to promote him I'm going to fuck up.
• 43:27
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah.
• 43:27
  Carmen Lezeth: I was like, yeah, we're going to erase that she did.
• 43:31
  Carmen Lezeth: That was my song for you.
• 43:32
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm sorry, what did?
• 43:35
  Rick Costa: you sing what Ash said.
• 43:36
  Rick Costa: She wrote Ash.
• 43:37
  Andrea Nunez: She has a nice smell.
• 43:37
  Andrea Nunez: I smell like perfume.
• 43:42
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I was like that's a point, she was selling some weight loss thing.

  Carmen Lezeth: There was some weight loss thing that she you know the minute, an actor of any caliber, any celebrity of any caliber sells weight loss shit, I'm done.
• 43:56

  Andrea Nunez: I find it really difficult to listen to his music now.
• 44:36
  Andrea Nunez: You do See.
• 44:37
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm the opposite.
• 44:38
  Carmen Lezeth: Well, first of all, I got more comfortable listening to Chris Cornell after he passed away in honor of you, because I knew you were so upset.
• 44:44
  Carmen Lezeth: But wow, I love listening to him.
• 44:46
  Carmen Lezeth: That's so weird.
• 44:47
  Carmen Lezeth: And I love listening to George Michael Like I listen to George Michael every day.
• 44:50
  Andrea Nunez: Yeah, we listen to a lot of George Michael around here and I always turn it up and think of you.
• 44:54
  Andrea Nunez: But here and there I can listen to a few songs, but I used to listen to his music every day.
• 45:01
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I think you need to have a good cry to it and then find the joy in it.
• 45:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not trying to be like boom boom, but I'm being serious.
• 45:07
  Carmen Lezeth: I think that's probably your.
• 45:08
  Carmen Lezeth: You have a sense of it.
• 45:09
  Carmen Lezeth: His music is super joyful.
• 45:11
  Andrea Nunez: I know, I know, but you look like it.
• 45:12
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't mean that I mean because I think that's what I mean for me.
• 45:16
  Carmen Lezeth: I had to get through it too and I was crying through George Michael's music.
• 45:20
  Carmen Lezeth: And Prince was even harder.
• 45:21
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not going to lie, that was a harder thing because that I don't know why that was harder.
• 45:26
  Carmen Lezeth: You know, prince was first.
• 45:28
  Carmen Lezeth: It was David Bowie, prince and George Michael and it was like that same 12 months.
• 45:32
  Carmen Lezeth: It wasn't the same year, because I think David Bowie was January.
• 45:36
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, forget it, he was January, yeah, and it was like that.
• 45:39
  Carmen Lezeth: But I cried a lot for Prince.
• 45:42
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know why it bothered me so much more.
• 45:43
  Carmen Lezeth: But then I got through it and then I feel like the music brings me happiness now.
• 45:48
  Carmen Lezeth: And George Michael I just he does have music that is joyful, so it's easy.
• 45:52
  Carmen Lezeth: Let me see Mariel said they ate her up for you using the N-word in one of her.
• 45:57
  Carmen Lezeth: But you know these.
• 45:58
  Carmen Lezeth: We're not going to talk about her no more, because it's true, you know, it's just true, it's stupid shit.
• 46:03
  Carmen Lezeth: And she got to give us more information.
• 46:05
  Carmen Lezeth: Chris Cornell was great in context.
• 46:07
  Carmen Lezeth: He wanted for others to relate too hard to hear given his passing, but a beautiful intent.
• 46:11
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, prince was devastating.
• 46:13
  Andrea Nunez: Yeah, that was hard.
• 46:14
  Andrea Nunez: He just he was like you know, he felt he seemed invincible.
• 46:17
  Andrea Nunez: I guess right, something about it just felt like he's never going to go.
• 46:21
  Andrea Nunez: And then it was so.
• 46:22
  Andrea Nunez: It was so sudden and surprising.
• 46:25
  Rick Costa: And genius.
• 46:26
  Carmen Lezeth: He's such a genius I don't know.
• 46:27
  Carmen Lezeth: It was weird.
• 46:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Go ahead, Rick.
• 46:28
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm sorry.
• 46:29
  Rick Costa: For me it was Whitney.
• 46:29
  Rick Costa: I was like you're lying.
• 46:30
  Rick Costa: Stop it Right.
• 46:31
  Rick Costa: You're lying.
• 46:32
  Rick Costa: I could not believe it.
• 46:33
  Rick Costa: I was like you're lying.
• 46:33
  Rick Costa: Who killed her?
• 46:34
  Rick Costa: It's like no way Dummy should kill.
• 46:35
  Rick Costa: No, I was so upset.
• 46:38
  Carmen Lezeth: But you knew she was in a lot of trouble.
• 46:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Well, she was trying to get better, I thought the last time I spoke to her before her passing.
• 46:46
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just saying the the here.
• 46:49
  Carmen Lezeth: I love Whitney too, but the thing that bothers me about Whitney, and you know again, send me direct messages.
• 46:54
  Carmen Lezeth: It's fine, I do read them.
• 46:55
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't know where you respond to Of all the people on the planet that she could have associated herself with.
• 47:02
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just saying no offense to Mr New Edition.
• 47:06
  Carmen Lezeth: I just was like those two seem to just not be in a good place with each other when it came to drugs and I just didn't understand the whole Bobby Brown and her connection and it just devastated me because it felt like that combination.
• 47:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm not blaming him, I'm saying you know, when you see two people who might be toxic, you know, and then you would just hear the stories and I was like, and then I think I saw her on some performance.
• 47:29
  Carmen Lezeth: I didn't see her in person, but I was watching a performance and she couldn't get to that vocal place and that's when I knew I'm like the drugs are just messing up her vocal cords.
• 47:40
  Carmen Lezeth: Now you know what I mean, cause she or she's not rehearsed, she's not using whatever it is that happens, you know, it just made me so sad, ashley.
• 47:49
  Carmen Lezeth: Yes, whitney Houston was sad, and then her daughter.
• 47:53
  Rick Costa: Yeah, that was crazy.
• 47:54
  Cynthia Ruiz: Didn't they die in like the same way too.
• 47:57
  Rick Costa: I think it was like on the same day or something.
• 47:59
  Rick Costa: To the.
• 47:59
  Andrea Nunez: To the way, and she was in a coma for a long time.
• 48:03
  Andrea Nunez: I mean, it was just so sad.
• 48:06
  Carmen Lezeth: The good news is is that Bobby Brown is doing better and he's getting himself, I guess, on track again.
• 48:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Last time I spoke to him, so through the trade magazines or whatever we read, you know what I mean.
• 48:16
  Carmen Lezeth: But he, you know, I think New Edition is doing a.
• 48:21
  Carmen Lezeth: They're going to go on tour soon, so you know.
• 48:24
  Carmen Lezeth: But yeah, it's just a tough.
• 48:26
  Carmen Lezeth: This is not it.
• 48:26
  Carmen Lezeth: How come my show is not full of joy every day?
• 48:30
  Carmen Lezeth: How we get here?
• 48:30
  Carmen Lezeth: We started with joy with Tracy Chapman.
• 48:35
  Carmen Lezeth: Let's end there too, because here's the thing she got her flowers.
• 48:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Man.
• 48:41
  Carmen Lezeth: When you watch it, her eyes all glistened in.
• 48:45
  Carmen Lezeth: She seems so happy, it just felt so full circle.
• 48:49
  Carmen Lezeth: I wish for one of those moments for myself.
• 48:52
  Andrea Nunez: That to me.
• 48:53
  Andrea Nunez: That's why I love going to live shows right Like you love a song, you love an artist and you feel like they give you so much Right and you have this experience together and if you can see that smile and you see them receive it, you feel like you're giving something back.
• 49:09
  Cynthia Ruiz: Yeah.
• 49:09
  Andrea Nunez: And it's just this really like beautiful synergy between you and the artist, you like collective view, the group and the artist.
• 49:15
  Andrea Nunez: It's just.
• 49:16
  Andrea Nunez: It was such an amazing, beautiful moment, yeah, to actually be able to see it, like you said, like to see her receive.
• 49:22
  Andrea Nunez: That was so amazing.
• 49:24
  Rick Costa: There's been.
• 49:25
  Rick Costa: There's been music that I listened to and I was like, didn't care for it.
• 49:28
  Rick Costa: But then when I heard them live all of a sudden I was like, oh, I like them now Sweet.
• 49:32
  Carmen Lezeth: Are you saying that about fast car?
• 49:33
  Carmen Lezeth: No, oh, okay, I didn't know what you were for.
• 49:36
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm like oh so you never heard fast cars?
• 49:37
  Carmen Lezeth: Is that what I'm hearing?
• 49:38
  Carmen Lezeth: Let me see.
• 49:39
  Carmen Lezeth: Mario said it was Whitney's brother who introduced her to the drugs.
• 49:42
  Carmen Lezeth: He admitted that later.
• 49:43
  Carmen Lezeth: It doesn't matter who introduced her to the, I've been introduced to drugs.
• 49:46
  Carmen Lezeth: But you know you hang around with other people doing drugs.
• 49:48
  Carmen Lezeth: It makes it harder for you to walk away.
• 49:50
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm just saying I don't know if that relationship was as good.
• 49:54
  Carmen Lezeth: For again, I'm not blaming him, I'm just saying it's such a waste.
• 49:59
  Carmen Lezeth: But you know, I don't know how the world works, I don't know how all of this functions.
• 50:02
  Carmen Lezeth: I just I miss Whitney.
• 50:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I miss her.
• 50:05
  Carmen Lezeth: I listen to her music all the time too.
• 50:06
  Carmen Lezeth: Her voice was so soulful and unique and her voice was perfection.
• 50:11
  Carmen Lezeth: Her voice was perfection and I can't say I think the only other person I would say that about that can hit every note.
• 50:20
  Carmen Lezeth: It's not even hitting notes.
• 50:21
  Carmen Lezeth: It's like knowing the notes to hit would be Barbara Streisand.
• 50:24
  Carmen Lezeth: You know what I mean.
• 50:25
  Carmen Lezeth: Like you just sing and you know where you're going and it makes sense to anyone listening to it.
• 50:30
  Carmen Lezeth: That's how I felt about Whitney and that's how I feel about Barbara Streisand.
• 50:33
  Carmen Lezeth: Like it doesn't matter whether you like the songs or not, it's just that is gifted.
• 50:38
  Carmen Lezeth: That is gifted and then worked on and perfected.
• 50:42
  Rick Costa: And she knew how to make songs her own too, with her own style to it.
• 50:45
  Rick Costa: You know she could take I will always love you, a country song by Dolly Parton and put her own flavor on that thing, and, man, that became a hit.
• 50:51
  Rick Costa: We all know that.
• 50:52
  Carmen Lezeth: One of her best songs was singing the national anthem.
• 50:54
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, I could watch that over and over I was like how can you make that something where I'm crying?
• 51:01
  Carmen Lezeth: Like what music brings you joy?
• 51:06
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, good question.
• 51:07
  Carmen Lezeth: Let's start with Cynthia, who has not spoken enough, so it's going to make it really hard for my clips.
• 51:14
  Cynthia Ruiz: I like all kinds of music, but like anything that's upbeat and anything that can make you like think of memories.
• 51:20
  Cynthia Ruiz: Like, if I'm listening to 80 songs, think of good memories from the 80s and things like that.
• 51:25
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, you know what I heard the other day?
• 51:26
  Carmen Lezeth: Shout, shout.
• 51:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Was that just for fears?
• 51:31
  Carmen Lezeth: Yes, what's one of your favorite songs from back then?
• 51:37
  Cynthia Ruiz: September from Earth, Wind and.
• 51:39
  Rick Costa: Fire is one of my favorites.
• 51:41
  Cynthia Ruiz: It's one of my favorites.
• 51:42
  Carmen Lezeth: And then Lover from Prince.

  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, what's some from Prince, I'm sorry.
• 51:46
  Carmen Lezeth: What Lover.
• 51:48
  Cynthia Ruiz: Oh yes, that's my absolute favorite song from them, andrea.
• 51:56
  Andrea Nunez: What music brings me joy is like, primarily like dance music.
• 51:59
  Andrea Nunez: I've been listening to Tina Maria a lot lately, really, yeah.
• 52:10
  Rick Costa: I'm like you, just immediately pulls you in and you're just dancing Like that's, that's the music.
• 52:14
  Andrea Nunez: That's just super joyful for me, but that's for whatever reason.
• 52:18
  Andrea Nunez: I was on a road trip and I was like let's just listen to the 80s R&B.
• 52:22
  Andrea Nunez: And then she came up and I was like Marie is the bomb, let's just listen to Tina Marie for four hours.
• 52:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Yes, tina Maria was one of those people that when I found out she was white, I was like what Something is happening?
• 52:33
  Carmen Lezeth: But she is invited to the cookout for shout.
• 52:36
  Carmen Lezeth: I have to say this and I you know people going to be like what is Carmen's issue with Andrea?
• 52:42
  Carmen Lezeth: But if somebody gave me a multiple choice test and was like Carmen, let's see how well you know Andrea, I would fail every time.
• 52:51
  Carmen Lezeth: I would have been like she loves dance music.
• 52:55
  Carmen Lezeth: Tina Marie, never, not once in a million years, not one.
• 52:59
  Carmen Lezeth: But let me reverse it.
• 53:02
  Carmen Lezeth: If I turned it around and they gave you, actually I think all of you in the room would be like George Michael's friends, it was the third one, it was my third favorite, you know.
• 53:18
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, I wonder if Andrea knows.
• 53:20
  Andrea Nunez: I don't think about it, I don't know, off the top of my head.
• 53:25
  Rick Costa: I have to really dig in Michael Jackson.
• 53:28
  Carmen Lezeth: No, although I do like Michael Jackson.
• 53:29
  Carmen Lezeth: But no, I don't think I don't know if you guys would know, but when I say it you'll know you don't want to take a guess.
• 53:34
  Carmen Lezeth: Died a long time ago, Part of a band.
• 53:36
  Carmen Lezeth: He did a movie about him.
• 53:37

  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, my God, yeah, that's a good one.
• 54:13

• 54:20
  Carmen Lezeth: There's not.
• 54:20
  Carmen Lezeth: It's just yeah, I pick them over the Beatles any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
• 54:25
  Carmen Lezeth: No offense to the Beatles fans, but like when people talk about the Beatles, I'm like if I'm going to go into that world over there, it's going to be Freddie Mercury and Queen.
• 54:34
  Cynthia Ruiz: See, I would have said for me, queen and the Bee Gees, every song of the Bee Gees, oh the.
• 54:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Bee Gees.
• 54:41
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, ray Charles, good one.

  Carmen Lezeth: Not including gospel music, because I know you're going to say well, mine is Christian, so we know you love Christian music.
• 55:07
  Carmen Lezeth: So tell us your Christian music and then tell us your other people who don't listen to Christian music music.
• 55:13
  Rick Costa: I mean, it's kind of like what Cynthia said I like upbeat and I do like to dance, even though I don't dance.
• 55:19
  Rick Costa: But I like it because it puts me in a good mood, you know, give me a little pep in my step, a little bit Like Smile, for example.
• 55:24
  Rick Costa: That's why I like that song a lot.
• 55:26
  Rick Costa: Yeah, he's a good one, obviously.
• 55:29
  Carmen Lezeth: I like the favorite Whitney.
• 55:30
  Carmen Lezeth: I never asked you that.
• 55:31
  Rick Costa: Whitney, oh my gosh.
• 55:33
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, I want to dance with somebody.
• 55:35
  Rick Costa: That's good too.
• 55:35
  Rick Costa: I saw the funniest video of it was a grandma holding a three year old and they had that music playing in the background.
• 55:41
  Rick Costa: And then they showed the granddaughter, when the grandma was really old, holding the grandma and dancing to the song.
• 55:50
  Carmen Lezeth: Oh, I think you've got that to me, right?
• 55:51
  Carmen Lezeth: Yeah, I think so.
• 55:52
  Carmen Lezeth: I think you've got that to me, yeah.
• 55:53
  Rick Costa: That was so cute, so cute.
• 55:54
  Rick Costa: I like Whitney and Mariah, the old Mariah.
• 55:57
  Rick Costa: I think I said this before.
• 55:57
  Rick Costa: I don't know why you have to qualify it that way.
• 56:00
  Rick Costa: Because some of the new stuff is different.
• 56:02
  Rick Costa: Tony's like favorite songs.
• 56:04
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm here all day.
• 56:06
  Rick Costa: Favorite Whitney song you still haven't told me.
• 56:08
  Carmen Lezeth: I'm going to say it's the greatest love of all for me, but go ahead.
• 56:11
  Carmen Lezeth: I mean that was almost nothing she said.
• 56:13
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't really like a lot.
• 56:15
  Rick Costa: I mean it's hard to pick one.
• 56:16
  Rick Costa: It's hard to pick one.
• 56:17
  Rick Costa: I like all her stuff.
• 56:18
  Rick Costa: I can't say it's easy to see.
• 56:20
  Rick Costa: You know it's so funny.
• 56:26
  Carmen Lezeth: When I'm in my car, though, I can sing.
• 56:28
  Carmen Lezeth: Everybody sings good in the car and in the shower.
• 56:31
  Rick Costa: I believe they did that with me.
• 56:33
  Rick Costa: They did my music, and then they had me in the car and then they took out the and they did.
• 56:38
  Carmen Lezeth: I would sound as good as JLo.
• 56:39
  Carmen Lezeth: That's funny.
• 56:40
  Carmen Lezeth: My love is your love and I'm going to say it.
• 56:44
  Cynthia Ruiz: I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it.
• 56:45
  Rick Costa: I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it, I'm going to say it my love is your love and your love is my love.
• 56:53
  Carmen Lezeth: I know that song.
• 56:53
  Carmen Lezeth: That's a good song.
• 56:57
  Rick Costa: Rick, just the other day I saw Whitney.
• 56:58
  Rick Costa: It was just a clip of Whitney with Enrique Glacias the young, the son, and nothing against Enrique, but she sang circles around that man.
• 57:08
  Rick Costa: I'm sorry.
• 57:09
  Carmen Lezeth: But she could sing circles around anybody.
• 57:11
  Rick Costa: That's true.
• 57:12
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, we not getting off of here until I hear your favorite Whitney song.
• 57:17
  Rick Costa: I just pick one.
• 57:18
  Rick Costa: I will always love you.
• 57:20
  Carmen Lezeth: I know it's corny, but you want me to send that for you too.
• 57:22
  Carmen Lezeth: Okay, ready and uh, I'll tell you.
• 57:24
  Carmen Lezeth: I'll tell you singing.
• 57:26
  Rick Costa: It's a Kevin Costner.
• 57:28
  Rick Costa: I just you know what's so funny the thing is.
• 57:30
  Rick Costa: I know I can't sing.
• 57:32
  Carmen Lezeth: I know I can.
• 57:32
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't even pretend you know what I mean, but that's the hardest song to even try to keep to Shut up, tony.
• 57:41
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't even have the breath for it, corny Rick.
• 57:42
  Carmen Lezeth: She shut up, tony, but you know what?
• 57:44
  Carmen Lezeth: Was funny about the song was all these people would say call the radio.
• 57:48
  Rick Costa: I want to dedicate this to my girlfriend.
• 57:49
  Rick Costa: Like you realize, this is a breakup song.
• 57:51
  Rick Costa: It's still a beautiful song, though I said no, it's the way she sings it.
• 57:56
  Carmen Lezeth: That's so beautiful.
• 57:57
  Carmen Lezeth: I will say that I listened to Dolly Parton's version, you know, and I find it fascinating, like I would have never like.
• 58:05
  Carmen Lezeth: This is where I think the genius is.
• 58:06
  Carmen Lezeth: You hear a song and then you're like, oh, you're like I'm not gonna do that, I'm not gonna do that, I'm not gonna do that, I'm not, I need to be part of the video.
• 58:13
  Carmen Lezeth: I don't need to be part of the video.
• 58:15
  Carmen Lezeth: I've never, I've never tried to do the rapper's song.
• 58:19
  Carmen Lezeth: And then you're like, oh, you know what, I could cover that, or I can do it differently, or I could.
• 58:23
  Carmen Lezeth: I and you know again, I have much respect and love for Dolly Parton, but I would have never taken her song and been like I can do that justice and make it into a RRB love.
• 58:32
  Carmen Lezeth: So you don't never.
• 58:33
  Carmen Lezeth: And so I think that's the genius of it, right, well, okay, well, where past?
• 58:37
  Rick Costa: the hour mark.
• 58:37
  Carmen Lezeth: I appreciate everyone fun and light, and I just do want to bring it back to Tracy Chapman.
• 58:42
  Carmen Lezeth: Thank you for that beautiful moment, tracy, and I forgot his name, mr Holmes, luke Holmes, what's his name, luke?
