• 1:27
  Speaker 3: around I'm home for a little bit, but I'll be
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: traveling again pretty student towards the end of March, so
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I travel a lot for work.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw your schedule on your Instagram, and you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: are very busy. Yeah, I try to.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I try to keep busy, but being busy is always
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: a blessing for me. I mean, I'm always happy that
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: people want to still work with me and hire me,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So no complaints.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Well let's go all the way back in time. What
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is your earliest memory of art?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Of art?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: My goodness. Uh, I would have to say probably elementary
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: school most likely. I've always been into some sort of art,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: So I was big into like drawing back when I
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: was younger, younger years.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You didn't keep up with it.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: No, No, my mom is actually quite the artist. Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: She you know Edwards siss her hands. Yes, she does
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: that with her bushes. She's Hello Kitty and all kinds
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: of different shaped things in her yard. People actually stop
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and I'm surprised the News hasn't stopped by to try
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to do an interview with her, because it's like really immaculate.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: How often does she change them out?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: She keeps it the same and they just kind of
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: grow out. They're all these like little bushes, and it
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: takes time. The Hello Kitty one is the most impressive one,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and it took her two or three years I think
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to finally.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, it's like a it's like a.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Short, you know, slow and steady as it's growing out,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: you slowly gradually build it. But it was It's pretty amazing.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That's fun. I'd love to see pictures of that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's that's probably where I got, like
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I guess, in the arts. I was always into I
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: played music, so I played the piano, saxophone, and clarinet.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Since I was in third grade, I played the piano.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: That was my main instrument, and then learned jazz and
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: was in you know, jazz band and in high school
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and junior high and I mean, how I have a
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: big musical background, So I guess the sport. As far
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: as form of arts, I guess it just runs in
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: my mom's side of the family.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Not so much on your dad's side.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: No, not at all.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Well where did your athletics come from? What? What did
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you play when you were growing up?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Actually, it was funny he should ask that I was
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: quite the nerd.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we said clarinet, so I already, oh.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like that's that's like a red flag right there.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I was mostly into music, but I did I think
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: my first form of sport was probably martial arts. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: did shotokun karate when I was sixteen, started doing that
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: and was big into cycling, and I don't know, that
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: was probably two major things that I did athletic wise, right,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: wasn't until later on when I got into other kinds
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: of things.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so where did the where did the athletics come from? Like,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: obviously you enjoyed working out and whenever you did, you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the karate and everything, but how did you just continue
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: it on into I mean you later went modeling with it.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Too, So yeah, well it's kind of funny. I guess
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I've always enjoyed working out, and it was always just
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: more like recreational, like cycling was my thing and the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: martial arts. But then when I was in my I
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: would say, like when I was twenty one, I was
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: at a gym and I used to do the aerobic
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: classes all the time, and a personal trainer saw me
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and told me I had a really good build for
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: like weight training, and I go, oh, I don't want
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: to be this big, you know, you know, like the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: whole like, yeah, I might want to be a man
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: looking person and he goes, no, no, no.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: No, that I love the people think that today too.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: They always like, oh, I'm going to get way too big.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: It's like, no, you just get toned, Like yeah, you
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: have to do so much to get actually like really bulky.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Oh you would have to do so much drugs, like
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: so much terrorism and everything to look like that. There's
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: no way because you're you're your woman's physique is not
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: built that way to be that big unless you doing
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: it artificially, you know, with something else. But he explained
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: it to me, and he says, if you know, you
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: could try it, and I'll train you for free because
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: you're just very symmetrical, and I'll train you for free,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and then if you don't like it, then you can
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: always quit. And then I really really loved the way
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: it made me feel because I love being strong, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: it really enhanced other things that I like to do
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: by working out with the weight training. So I really
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: got big into that. I was training probably five five
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: days a week, five or six days a week.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And then and I was doing my cycling still, which
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I still do. I still love his cycle. I do
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: sentry rides and all kinds of stuff. And then I
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: got into from there, I got into doing like spartan
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: kinds of thing. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I love that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I was doing five K things for a while until
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I got the planter fascy itis thing going and both
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: feet so both do the runs. Yeah, I can't do
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the runs because they will my feet, but cycling will
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: not affect it that way, I won't have the Charlie
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Horse happen. Makes sense, I think because of the click ins,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: you're not really putting pressure on your foot. But that
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: kind of led into doing a couple of other kinds
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: of martial arts. And then when I moved to Los Angele, well,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: actually when I was in the Bay Area, I got
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: approached by somebody who was into wrestling, and that's kind
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: of how I started wrestling. Somebody wanted to teach me
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: competitive wrestling, female wrestling on the mats for a site.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: And then when I moved to LA that's how I
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: got the pro wrestling training because somebody saw like because
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: they see my physique, that's what happens. And that's how
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I got all the modeling stuff and everything because they
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: saw the physique and it's the legs have been a
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: major thing for me all the time. Since I was
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: a kid, Like I've always had really good legs. Yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: so that that was like a seller for all these people.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So that's kind of how how it kind of all evolved.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: It just kept adding on, like every time I would
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: try something here, then it would turn into something else,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and you know, got into acting work, and you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: everything just kind of stockpiled.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Right. It's funny had like this one little thing will
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: just kind of start really steering your boat and your
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: your life in a certain direction, where if you'd been like, no,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I'm fine, I'll just keep the cycling, Like who who'd
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: have known where your life would have gone from there?
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And I'm so grateful for the weight training.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: I even train now with a trainer five days a
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: week because even though I know totally what to do,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: and when I travel on my own, I know what
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: to do at the gym and this and that, but
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: having a trainers just next level, Like it really pushes
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you and changes up your routine all the time. And
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm grateful I'm with a trainer now. That
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: is he's retired firefighter.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, and.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: He's so unbelievably inexpensive. I can't even believe it. He's
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: such a good trainer. And I've I've really realized, like
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I've made so much good improvements since I've been with him,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and I work at it like a real gym, Like
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: it's a hardcore one where the machines don't match and
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: they're extra heavy, you know, like they're heavier than the
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: you know when you go to like Planet Fitness or
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: one of those, these weights are heavier. I don't know
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: what X going on, but since I've been going here,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: it's been like next level. All the people are pretty
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: serious that are in there, you know, professional bodybuilders and
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: you know, oh.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah people yeah looking people serious.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, So you can't really slack.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean you've done some finger competitions yourself. Where
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: did when did that? Just how did you make that
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: decision you wanted to end up trying to do that?
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Because that is that's a yeah. And for people who
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: don't realize, like, yeah, you go to the gym a lot,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: but it's it's mostly diet and it is. It is
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: ugly and very boring. It is.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Actually my first time I ever did it was back
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: when I was first starting out with Way training because
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I was with a workout partner that had been training
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: for eight years and my train was like, I think
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: you guys should do a competition. And I'd only been
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: six months in on training. With the first competition, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: think I was twenty one, and I looked good, like
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I asked the because I was at Gold Gym, and
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I asked the people that competed what they do for
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: their diet, and you know, I followed it to a
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: t and I dropped like I was shredded. In fact,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I took second place and the girl that beat me
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: was holding onto some fat on the lower end. Everybody
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: was like, you got ripped off. I mean, I even
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: hired a ballerina to do my routine. And it was
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: the old school bodybuilding thing. Were your barefoot ye, nothing
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: like what's a lot of the stuff today. But it
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: was just the old school type of bodybuilding. So I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: did a couple of competitions back then, and then I
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: wasn't doing anything. And then I got back into it
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: when I was fifty. My sister in law was talking
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: about doing a figure, you know, and I was like, oh,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I'll do it with you for fun, you know. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: she's like, oh, okay, you know, and then and she
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I was like, She's like God, I can't believe you
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: followed through and I didn't have a nutritionis I just
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: kind of went by whatever she was doing. With whatever
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: she had going on. Someone was telling her a diet
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: for her, So I just kind of follow along with
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: what she was doing. And I took some opposing because
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: this is a whole different thing. Figure is like you're
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: in high heels, you're wearing well.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I was going to say that the evolution from when
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: you did it when you were twenty one to now
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: is like light years different because it's not just the
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: bodybuilding part of it, Like you said, there's figure, there's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: so many other different competitions, and there's so many more
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: women that are in the world now too, so it's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: like you have to like separate them out, and you
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: genuinely have to be on top of your game to be,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: you know, number one, or even be competing at all.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was crazy. I mean I really surprised myself.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I actually, I you know, went all the way through
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: with it. I bought a used bikini from somebody, and
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: you know, I had the hair and makeup done and
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: actually this hair and makeup artist was amazing that I
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: use her for all my different shoots and everything because
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: she actually did the LFC. I did have her do
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: my hair and makeup for that, but she's she's awesome.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So I ended up meeting her through this whole fitness
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: thing and loved her her energy. But anyways, I did
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: the thing with my sister in law and I came
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: in like there were six of us. And usually if
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: there's this five spots and then the you know everybody
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: after that, you get you know, you do the walk
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: of shame across the stage at the front at night
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: and wave and keep going right. So but when there's
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: six people, you kind of get that like participation. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh man, I keep So I came
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: in dead last and I was like, oh man, you
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: know my body looked great, but I was like, oh man,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: But I was still proud of myself because I really,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I really thought I did a good job. Well. Then
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: another time, because then I was going to my sister
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: in law was really serious and wanted to get her
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: pro cards, so she's qualifying for nationals. And I was
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: just kind of going along to all these different competitions
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: to just show support because I know how hard it is.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Your diet is like just you're so strict on everything,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: and she goes for the Omaha one, she goes, you
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: might as well just do this one with me. So
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: so this time I got a nutritionist. I trained with
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: my trainer that I have now. I actually had a
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: bikini made for me, a custom one made for me,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: and I had my hair and makeup done. It was
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: with somebody else because it was in Omaha. But this
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: time I did it right and I had an actual
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: person coaching me with the nutrition and I once again
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: there were six of us up there, and I thought,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: oh great, here we go. It's going to happen again.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be in dead last, right. So I
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: was up there expecting to be called six. They didn't
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: call my name at sixth or fifth or fourth. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: hit third place, so I was it was almost like
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I won, you know, And I thought I looked really good.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, I looked even better on this competition because
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I had more time for muscles and develop a little
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: bit more muscles and everything, and so it was pretty exciting.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Now I kind of like my trainer wants me to
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: do another one, but they The problem is with Masters,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: at least in Nevada, Masters is considered forty five and
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: over and I'm fifty nine, and that's not exactly fair
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: to me to do a competition against, you know, a
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: forty five or forty you know, if they had one
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: that was fifty five and over, I would consider probably
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: doing another one because it's really good. It's so cool
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to see your body transform, and I would do these.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I thought it was being like at first, I thought,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: oh man, people are gonna think I'm snobby or stuck
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: up if I post the transit. But everyone was like, no, no, no,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: it was so cool to see, so motivating for you
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: to show pictures of you as you were, yeah, going along,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: and everybody loved looking at it. So everyone's like, when
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: you're gonna do another one when you need it? So okay,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: well maybe when I hit sixty, if I could find
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: one that's the sixty and over, I'll try it again.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: But I eat plant well, I mean I eat pretty
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: clean anyway. That that part's not the hard part for me. Yeah,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: it's more the walking in the heels thing. It's really
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: my challenge because I walk.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Dude well that and like, yeah, you got to practice
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: that along with working out too, Like you've got to
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: go full length mirror, you know, do the whole poses
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and the walk and yeah, I've seen I've seen multiple
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: people train for this and it's it's funny to watch
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: on the outside, but yeah, it's I imagine, very frustrating
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: and try to do all that heals.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then traveling as well as a challenge with
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the meals. It's not so much the workout. I could
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: do the workouts, but when you've got to work and
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: you've got four or five jobs booked for the day,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: it's not like you could to stop in the middle
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: of working. Someone's paying you by the hour and say, oh,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I got to take a food break because I've got
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: to eat every few hours. They don't understand that, so
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I have to do it. Like the reason I was
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: able to do this one for Omaha's because I didn't
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: have any trips and I just had the one trip
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I went to Sandals and they they have such good
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: food over there, so it was easy for me to
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: kind of keep up. And they actually told me to
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: cheat a cheap day, and my nutrition has said the
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: same thing, do a cheat day, It'll be good for
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: your body. And you do do that to kind of
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: let your body sort of reset a little bit because
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: otherwise it's too used to it and you won't progress.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I guess. So so I did. I had like a
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: chocolate Martine on the one day i'd like and then
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I never I didn't put any weight on. I mean
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: you couldn't see.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you need to shock the body because yeah,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: it's just going to be keeping rigid and that's not
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: what you want to.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Do, right exactly. So yeah, so, I mean it was fun.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: It was really a fun experience to be able to
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: do another one like that and actually really improve.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I just wish. The only wishful thing I would have
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: liked is if I had my girl Tamaya doing my
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: hair and makeup, because she's the best and the one
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: that did it. I mean it was like, I don't
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: think they're used to doing stage makeup is so different.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: You put your you look like a drag queen basic.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Right, You're basically have a big cake face.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because you're the lights are so bright. That's
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: why you have to have a spray tan and be
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: extra dark because they don't realize when you're on stage.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: You don't realize how dark that person is until you
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: see them off stage because that light really like you
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: just really have to be uh made up.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, all those muscles gotta pop. So yeah, I
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: mean it makes sense. But again, the things people don't
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: think about. They're like, why are you brown from the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: neck down? But your your face is completely different color.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, oh well.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: This is the thing that my my makeup person here
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: could do. Because she did competitions. They call it ghost
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: face when you see the people up there and they
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: have the ghost face. She could figure out how to
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: bronze your face, make it dark enough to where she
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: could anticipate what your body is going to be, so
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: you know, it's all together. And so she was really
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: good at that.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: That's smart.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean she already just did bronzer and made
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: your face way darker.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: And just because it's the spray tonded kind of like evolves,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: you know, you do it, it just becomes darker. And
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: so she had to figure out, like, Okay, how dark
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: do I make your face? I don't want to have
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: that spray stuff on my face, so oh of course not.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Oh some people do it, like my sister in law
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: did that, and I'm like, oh, I don't want that
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: stuff on my face.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I know you yeah, because you're sweating it
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: and then it's getting in your.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Mouth and the oh it's just gross and it smells funky,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: and it takes day like it takes weeks. Actually it
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: took two weeks for the whole thing to finally come off. Yeah,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: it's it's like you sweat it out. It's it's amazing
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: like it you're tan for a little bit.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Thing, Well, how did you get into modeling?
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Initially I got approached. It's funny because I was a teacher.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I have my degree in teaching. I went to college
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: and Reno on a music and I was deciding in
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: California that I that teaching wasn't for me. And the
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: person I was seeing at the time told me, you know,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I can't believe you don't model. And I go, well,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm like thirty one, and I'm sure you
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: know I'm not like a tall I'm thinking fashion.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Modeling, of course, yeah, run away models.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And they're like no, He's like, no, you'd be great.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: And so I went to San Francisco and an agent
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: she just she grabbed me right up. She was a
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: smaller agency, but she loved me. She says, no, I
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: want to send you out for print work. I got
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: some names some good people for headshots, and then she said,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I'd really like to send you out for commercials also,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: so I had to take some commercial acting classes to
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: learn how to slate and do all that that you're
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: supposed to do for auditions. And so I had these headshots.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: So I kind of got into acting at the same
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: time as when I got into modeling. And it actually
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: the acting actually and taking the acting classes actually helped
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: my modeling be better. Okay, because because you could be
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: a character right pictures and so that's one of the
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: things for the modeling that was making me a very
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: successful is because I could make myself look like different
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: things and change my look around and everything. And that's
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: one of the reasons why a lot of people started
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: hiring me, because they're like, Wow, she looks like a
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: totally different person.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have just one signature. Look, you genuinely
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: can be whoever they want to be for that shoot.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. And so even to this day, I still
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: get modeling work, which is crazy because I can't believe
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: people people still hire me. You know. It's amazing. So
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm just gonna go with.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: It, right, Yeah, you're not gonna say no, but yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: I mean they maybe they have to do a little
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: bit of photoshop, you know, to get some of the
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: wrinkles and stuff. But you know, I just keep on
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: going till nobody wants to hire me anymore. But you know,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I've been very fortunate, and I enjoy it. It's something
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: I always wanted to do since I was young. You know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: it was like a dream thing. The acting thing. I
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: didn't realize I liked until I started doing that, and
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: that they just go hand in hand.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how was the acting? How did you get into
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the acting? How was that? Well?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I started submitting because I was doing the commercials, and
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: then I decided to start taking regular acting classes, and
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: then I started submitting for things for auditioning, and I
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: was getting these I was getting these roles, and I
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: started to submit to LA and I was getting auditions
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: from being outside of LA, which I've heard of, you know.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: And so my a guy I work with this was
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: a really good photographer who knew the business really well, said,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: if you want to really do well in the acting,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: you got to move to where it is where the
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: action is. So I ended up moving to LA and
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: that's what really launched me, and then just working on
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of independent projects because I love doing the indies.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I got so many good things off that, like one
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: in Canada that was a feature film. I got a
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: lead in that. I got something that a million hits,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: like a short film that was on YouTube for a while,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: and then I got something that was in Texas and
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: it was a lead. It all like, like I said,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: it all like dominoed effect. You know, you work on
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: this project, someone saw it. You end up getting on
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: this project.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: So how do you like being on set? Because it
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: is quite different than modeling. Obviously you're modeling you more
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: or less have that one day, but one shot, which
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: was probably just like a maybe two to three minute shot,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: can take up to twelve hours to really set up.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: So how so, like, what was it like kind of
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: your first really big movie set that you were like,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: oh wow, this is we got at least one hundred
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: people working on this thing.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a long day, I mean, because they have
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: to do the different take, you do the same line.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: You have what they call sides, these little sides for
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: what they're going to be doing everything shot out of order.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I mean you really learn. Like every time I work
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: on a film, I learned something new that I didn't
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: know I could do. You know, like you got to
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: remember because everything shot out of order, they're not shot
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: in order, so you got to remember and write notes
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: down and where you were at emotionally, where you were
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: as the character, so that when they shoot the next
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: scene that follows that on whatever day you're there already,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: you have to get there or it's gonna look funny. Yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: so these long days it would be just you know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: maybe five pages of lines. You know, maybe for the
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: whole day. You'd be there for twelve hours. But I
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: didn't mind it. I love being on set. I love
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: I love when you get a chance to work with
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: other people that are really good. I've been on some
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: bad ones where my leading guy was horrible. It was
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: like pulling. You're pulling from nothing. If someone doesn't give
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: you anything, it's even more challenging for you to do
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: a good job because they're giving you nothing to work
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: off of, so you have to like project out even more.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: And you know, you carry the scene for two people.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, basically that's what and he ended up like
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: this one film, he ended up making it so campy
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: it could almost be like a class, like a cult class.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: So he was so bad those can.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Be I mean, those got legs to him a lot
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: of times, Like generations later, people like, oh my god,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: have you seen this movie? And you're like that movie really,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: of all the movies, yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: I mean it's funny though some of them that were
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: popular though like that, and I'm like that movie really,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: that's the one that you liked, and oh, you were
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: such a good psycho in that one scene. I go, yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: that's the only scene that I really liked it, that
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: whole entire movie when I got to be a psycho.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: But you know, something that's not in my character. Usually
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: they I get type casts a certain look, like a
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: business woman or medical professional or mom or like wholesome thing.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: So if I get to play something that's like crazy
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: or like just those are the ones I like charactery
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: type roles.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Oh of course, yeah, you get to actually you get
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: to build something from there.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. It's they're a lot more fun to do
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: than like just the.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Easy you know anybody, Yeah, anybody could be a nurse
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: or yeah, a mom person Like, that's just that's easy.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: No offense. People out there that do it amazing on
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: a regular basis.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: What's funny because I did this thing for medcom and
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: it was instructural videos for nursing students and they had
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: a real nurse on set, but they but they had
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: me playing nurse and it was like all these different
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: like like my favorite one I did for them was
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: not to abuse the patients. And there's different scenarios where
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I ignore this patient. He's like walking along a hallway,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I just ignore him and talking to my girlfriend, or
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: ones where I'm like I have to count to ten
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: and I got my fist up like in their face,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: like yell at him, and then I have to walk
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: out the door and they have a thing I had
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: to calm yourself down or whatever, and it was pretty hilarious,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: like you had to be a bad nurse or whatever.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite. Or the catheter placement
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: when was funny because they do like you have the
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: catheter and then it goes to a model, yeah, getting
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: stuck in and then then you have a live person
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: just laying there in the bed and it's sort of
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: you're thinking that it's stuck in like they're showing that
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: it was stuck in there. But it's pretty funny.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I see some of those at work also, like
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I'm out in the medical world, but it's usually like,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: you know, stuff in the office or something like that.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: And I'm always like, these videos are so ridiculous, and
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I bet her are so fun to actually make. But yes,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: as someone who has to watch them because it's mandatory,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: it's just so ridiculous.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. One of the funniest videos I ever watched
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: when I was getting my health card. It was like
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: somebody that was choking, Like this guy was barbecuing, and
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: we're all sitting in this watching this thing because it
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: was part of the whole deal, and the guy's face
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: he's like, chokes on the steak. He takes a piece
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: of steak that on the grill, you know, and he
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: starts choking on it, and then all of a sudden
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: it goes back to his face and it's like this
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: bright blue color and everyone's what's going on with Larry
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: and they're all panicking, and then they have to get
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: them behind and a big chunk of meat comes flying
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: out of his thing and everybody just started busting up laughing.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: It was like this big room of people watching this
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: thing for the health card, and it was one of
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: the funniest videos I ever watched.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: They knew what they were doing in that video.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Oh it was hilarious. It's probably the same video they've
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: shown for years and years and years.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: It is funny. You see them and it's like this
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: was shot in the eighties. How are we still using
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: this same footage exactly? Especially considering now you can tell
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the difference between nowadays filming even like early two thousands
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and then like before that. So I don't know why
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: we still use the old stuff.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, right, oh man, but yeah, those are.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Fun well, I mean, speaking of playing characters. How so,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: how did the pro wrestling come about? When did you?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: How was training for pro wrestling?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Well? I my first training for it was in somebody's
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: backyard in La sounds about right. This guy, like, you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: in the heat of the sun, you know, the ring
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: was really hot, and he approached me and he had
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I think it was four or five other girls and
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: he wanted to train us, and so we were we'd
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: meet up like two or three times a week and
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: train with him. But what I didn't realize is he
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: had dollar signs in his eyes and I can promote,
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: and he had me and this other girl he really
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: wanted to push to do all these different shows. All
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, when we were just kind of doing
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: it for fun to learn it, he didn't really tell
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: us where he was going with us. And then that's
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: when I kind of fell out of it and didn't
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: train anymore with him because I thought, oh man, you're
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: kind of taken advantage here, you know. But then but
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: then I don't know, I ended up because I learned
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: how to do that. I just ended up because I
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: was doing some wrestling over there, and then I ended
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: up in the ring for a few different companies that
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: shoot that kind of thing, and I guess they found
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: out I had a little bit of knowledge on how
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: to do it. Now. The LFC thing was something else,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: because I've always I've known about them, but I was like,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: oh man, I saw some of my friends are on there.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh that's cool. I'm too old to be
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: on there. Well, And so it happens, this is years ago.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Somebody flaked and was not going to be doing the fight,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: you know, and they needed to find somebody to fight
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: one of the people. So the producer asked, does anybody
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: know anyone that wrestles, and we know someone, and so
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: they gave him my name. I came in thinking it
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: was just gonna be one and done and then that
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: would be it, right, But he was so impressed because
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: I did I did the three rounds to judge's decision,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: the stamina and everything, I was able to do it,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: and he just decided to keep me on the LLFC
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: after that. It was crazy. I didn't think I was
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: gonna become an LLFC girl.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: So wow, Yeah, I was gonna ask how you got
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: involved with the LFC, But yeah.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: That's how it was because somebody flaked and they needed
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: a replacement to come in.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: And how do you like that? Because you've been in
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: and you've been out and then but you've seen the
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: growth of this company. What do you think? What do
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: you think it is about LFC that's really starting to
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: really just now starting to catch people's attention.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: I think it's like a more modern Glow. Yeah, I
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: think that's I think that's what it is. Kind of
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: the appeal because there's quite a few people that were
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: Glow fans and there are a lot of people like
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: the pro wrestling thing. There's a big following for that.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like a mix of What I like
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: about it is a mix of different kinds of skill sets.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Like you're not just doing pro wrestling, you're doing grappling,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: you're doing a little punching, MMA, a little bit of
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: martial arts. I notice, like sometimes without even thinking about it,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: for a defense thing, I'm using a martial arts thing
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: to block a punch or something. Yeah, just naturally. So
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I mean with everybody having all these skill sets and
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: then not having a weight category, they're just putting different
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: sizes and shapes and everything together. I think that's what
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: makes it interesting. So there's a peel for a wide
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: audience because it's not just cookie cutter, same shape people.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's more interesting because who wants to
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: see the same body type?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Right? No, that makes sense? Yeah, I mean that's why.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I think that's why MMA has really gotten as popular
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: as it has, because there are so many different body types. Yes,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of them will fight in the same weight class,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: but just because this person made weight doesn't mean that
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: they're going to come into the cage and the same weight.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, exactly so, and I think, well, the
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: lingerie probably helps hurt. It's kind of like the football
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: girls that we're doing. You know, the girls that were
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: doing the football playing and the lingerie kind of thing
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: that was quite popular. So I could see why. And
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're bringing in people that can really
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: do some good stuff too. They're they're bringing in girls
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: that have some good skill set and good performance.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean so speaking of lingerie, Uh, this
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: question is I usually ask everybody this question, but this
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: one's probably gonna have even more knowledge here. Uh do
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: you have a double stick tape story?
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I do not, but because I've I've always in the
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: past just worn to bras to underwear. This time I
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: was like, okay, I'm gonna go sexier and I'm going
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: to put I bought this really it was really great,
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: lingerie said, but it was lacey, and I'm like, okay,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: well I got to cover up. So I had these
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: like heart shape paces I was going to put on,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: you know, and then my bra and then like a
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: pasty or something on the bottom part because it was
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: all lacey. And then I you know, for the first time,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: I right, Well, then I was told I can't do
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: that because social media and they because they have such
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: a following now on there that they're right there in
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: the spotlight that you can't do the pasties. That doesn't
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: count as covering. So I had to wear my late.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: The only thing I had was that black bikini, red
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: and black bikini. That's why I'm wearing it underneath my
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: lingerie because I couldn't wear my So I'm like, well,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: this looks so stupid, and I'm like looking at it,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: going well, what am I going to do? Yeah, see
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: what I planned, you know, And so it And on
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: top of that, if you watch the fight at all,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: because it was the first one, I've never been the
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: first fight out and I'm like, they they didn't even
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: play the music. So I walked out to silence and
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like, it's music, and I'm like, and the music's
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: lame anyway that they have me coming out to. It's
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: the same song every time, but I hate that that song,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: that whatever song, whoever sings it or whatever, I hate it,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: copyrighted song. But it's like, okay, So I'm waiting for
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: the song and announce my name and there's no music
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: and I'm just standing there and I go, do I dance?
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: What I do?
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: And then like literally, I think it was like ten
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: seconds later, they're announcing Lexa and I haven't even walked
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: off the platform yet come to do the walk to
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: the music because I'm waiting for the music to start
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: and it's just silent, right yeah. So then they call
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: her and then she's directly behind me on this little
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: stand and I'm like and she's like, what the heck?
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: And I go, I don't know what to do, so
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: I guess I'll walk down and walk over here, you know,
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: because I mean I'm like, what is going on here?
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: And the music still wasn't playing. I was like, this
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: is awkward. And then about I think when I got
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: to the side of the ring, the music finally started
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: to play, and then they butchered my name on top
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: of it, and then on top of that, the mic
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: kept going in and out.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Oh oh.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I was just like, this is this is horrible? Yeah.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: If it's what is that Something's law where if something
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: can go wrong, it definitely will.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So I was dancing to silence because I have
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: to pose for the picture for Richard, you know, he's
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: taking the shots, and I'm like Okay, well I'll just
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: do some posing. But I'm like, this is really weird,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: I was just like, they should have practiced.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: That, yeah, everything.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: They should have rehearsed the mic, they should have rehearsed
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: the music plane, they should have done their part because
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: they expect us to be prepared, and you know, they
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: should be prepared, you know. So I think that was
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: like a big, a big no no. And then everybody
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: else's was fine, Like it was just the first one
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: that they they really messed up. I was like, oh
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: my gosh, so years since I've been here.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: And yeah, it's little details you got to you gotta
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: actually just pay attention to.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And the last fight I did was last Valentine's
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: against Belly Inc. And we were wearing tape. A tape
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: artist did our outfit and so we were wearing tape,
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: and so my biggest fear was number one, what if
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: I have to go to the bathroom? Yeah fight, And
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: I think we were number three, third fight or fourth fight,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: number one, and she had to pee and she was like,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: I can't she had to peece so bad. But we
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: went up there with her having to go to the
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: bathroom really bad. To fight the tape. You know, the
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: tape was everywhere. You know, you can't just remove the tape,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: you know. So we were like, oh my gosh, this
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: is awful. Yeah, so that was kind of a funny
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: story there, and I was so worried the tape was
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: going to come off he starts and everything.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Well, now the question is what's going to happen next time?
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, they're they're talking about
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: like i'man I was asked, do you have your passport?
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Because they were talking about Mexico City. But I'm like,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: do you really want to go to Mexico right now?
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Well, there'd be a situation, that's for sure.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know if I really want to
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: go to Mexico right now. Have you been watching the news?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I think that about a certain big event
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: that's supposed to be happening over in Saudi Arabia next year,
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: and I see pictures. I'm like, hmm, I don't know
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: about that one.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe New Orleans think you think about the think about
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: things or whatever. I'm like, I don't know. And I
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: mean they were in the they were in England, and
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't do that one. But a couple of my
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: friends were over there and said that was interesting.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean England's easier. Not a lot of nothing
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: really happens over there, so.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but England has a really big fan base for
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: wrestling though.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's a huge over there.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: I've done matches over there with a female female competitive
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: on the mats with an audience, and there are some
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: good wrestlers there in the UK.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that scene is with wrestling, MMA, like it's it's
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: not just a football and cricket area anymore.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: No, No, it's huge over there. Yeah, I mean it's I.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Think now they're trying to get football to be a
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: big thing, American football.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: I should say, yeah, they're doing that. I just I
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: don't know is it really fair for the fans that
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: we have to fly all all the way over there
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: for our team. I mean, I'm a Green Bay Packer fan, so.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Now I don't know. I mean again, if you want
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: to take the trip and you know, enjoy yourself in
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: another country and then also happen to see an American
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: football game, then yeah, sure it's fun.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would I would hate to go
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: all that way to watch my team lose.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: If you think about the jet lag, it just it
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: is like, oh man, you know it's.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Then you can think about it all the way home too.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I was on a
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: cruise ship and I watched my team blow it on
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. I was like, oh this is this is horrible. Yeah,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: butting on the deck watching this thing.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm supt to have a good time. I don't
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: think so.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Well, there's always next year, you know.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: That's hey. As someone who lives in DFW, we see
• 38:47

• 39:09
  Speaker 3: months a long time ago.

  Speaker 2: Carlton's much different, I promise you.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I used to. Well, I just traveled to Texas
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: for no reason. This is when I was kind of
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: crazy wild in my twenties, and I was like, I'm
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: going to go to Texas because that was the first
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: state that my mom came to from Japan, and I
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: didn't know where I was going to live. I just
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: drove all of Texas ended up in Dallas area.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love it up here, so yeah, I
