0:00
Here's to you. It's supported by One Life
0:02
Spirits. One Life Spirits is built on
0:04
purpose, culture, good people and good drinks so you can live
0:08
one life to the fullest. That means shots that are
0:11
smooth, tasteful, and pair perfectly with a lime.
0:14
Or our favorite, in orange. Because if you're still chasing
0:17
tequila with a lime, what are you doing?
0:20
That orange slice brings out the bright citrus notes of Una Vida
0:24
Blanco, which is smooth, authentic and tasteful.
0:27
Like myself. Plus, Una Vida is 100% additive
0:31
free, so you're enjoying tequila in its purest form without the
0:35
hangover regret. Yeah, because it takes us three
0:38
to five business days to recover now, and hang side is not my
0:41
friend. That's why you should stick with
0:44
una Vida or try cocktails instead of shots.
0:47
OK, a little bit little. One Life Spirits also crafts El
0:50
Drago High Post vodkas and LeBron whiskey all bold, smooth
0:54
and made to share. Whether it's game night, date
0:56
night or just Tuesday night, they've got the pores covered.
1:00
Because it's not just about taste, but it's about that
1:02
feeling. And we're proud spirits noms.
1:05
So treat yourself. Visit onelifespirits.com, swing
1:09
by the One Life Spirits bar inside of El Primo, or grab a

5:28
Yeah. How's your day today?
5:30
I mean it honestly, I had a chill day today.
5:32
Like normally I have shit going on all the time so.
5:36
No for real, it was a this girl. This girl has like every weekend
5:40
is busy for her like y'all just need to listen to this girl's
5:43
story trust me. 'Cause we were originally trying
5:47
to schedule for like last month, but.
5:51
There's just always something going on, going on, and I always
5:53
make it to everything. And then I have my own stuff
5:56
too, like events and things. So yeah, it's just, yeah, I get
5:59
so busy. Yeah.
6:00
Plus it's summertime. Yeah, everybody's.
6:03
And back to school now. Got stuff going on?
6:05
Yeah. Yeah, 'cause you have a lot of
6:07
kids. Yeah, you don't know.
6:09
I have three now. Yeah.
6:10
I'm over here thinking you had one.
6:12
I had, yeah. When you met her, it was 1.
6:15
It was one, yeah. It was just Tray, Yeah.
6:17
OK, OK dude, I still remember that one time.
6:19
Do you remember how scared I was when you were doing my lashes?
6:23
Oh yeah, and I didn't know that. I felt so bad.
6:25
Do I? I remember that whole
6:27
conversation. If I would have known that, I
6:30
would have tried to make you feel a little bit better.
6:32
I was like, I didn't know she had anxiety with, you know,
6:34
yeah. Faces ohh yeah so bad so I.
6:37
Told fannies to just put your air pods in.
6:39
Could you be fine? Ohh man, I was low key y'all.
6:41
I was kind of mad at Emily. She didn't come with me.
6:44
And I was like, so the issue is that like, when like it's the
6:48
fact that like someone is over me and you have no control.
6:51
Yeah. And I have no.
6:52
And that's three hours like. That so basically everyone she's
6:55
talking about lashes. So when you do lash extensions,
6:57
they're individuals. So you're like the aesthetician
7:00
is like right in front of you doing your lash 1 by 1.
7:03
So it's like, you know, in your personal space.
7:05
So that's before Fanny had like big anxiety, like someone very
7:10
close to. Her and you have a ton of
7:12
lashes. Too.
7:12
And claustrophobic too as well. So.
7:15
I think that was when I was kind of first starting out.
7:17
So yeah, when you are doing. Lashes.
7:19
Yeah, it takes about like three, 3 1/2 hours, but now I can do a
7:23
full set in like 2 hours. But yeah, the first, first
7:26
appointment is like super long. So I'm like, Oh yeah, just take
7:29
a nap. Yeah, I didn't know.
7:31
That every time when I do my lashes.
7:33
I know. And I was like, OK, I could do
7:35
this. I was like, I could do this.
7:36
I could do this. But that was like peak anxiety
7:38
too. Like, I think a lot of people
7:39
think that, like, I'm really confident and I kind of am, but
7:42
like nobody knows how much anxiety actually lives inside of
7:44
my body. Yeah, Yeah.
7:46
I mean as you get older too, like I didn't realize how much
7:48
anxiety I have. I mean that's why I'd be
7:51
sleeping so late till like. 5:00 in the morning when you have so
7:55
much anxiety. Thinking everything it's.
7:57
So sad to the point when you become an adult, you're just
8:00
like, fuck, this is my everyday life.
8:01
Like this is just lives with me and you're just like, all right,
8:04
let's go right through life with this fucking anxiety.
8:08
Anxiety and stress. Literally.
8:09
Well, now I'm medicated, so it's good.
8:11
But lately, because of all the awesome stuff that we're doing,
8:15
like I have been waking up, like I have kind of let go of my
8:19
meditation practice and I really need to get back on it.
8:21
But like there's been like these past couple of weeks, like I
8:24
literally wake up in the middle of the night and I'm like
8:27
hyperventilating and. You're having like panic
8:29
attacks. Yeah, even when I'm sleeping.
8:31
Oh my God, yeah, it's getting pretty bad.
8:33
So I need to get back on like meditation because I haven't
8:36
done that in a minute. So I'm trying and or be more
8:41
medicated I guess I'm now. Kidding.
8:44
Take an edible. No, it's like edibles can also
8:46
make my anxiety spike, you know? It there's different medication
8:50
for different diagnosis of edibles too, because like there
8:54
is ones that you have upper and then you have a downer too as
8:57
well. And those Downers really help
8:59
you go to sleep like, like what we have right now.
9:02
I've tried everything and I'm. Like Doctor A got everything in
9:06
her head. No.
9:08
Not a good time for you. No I mean I I have tried
9:12
actually like to take them to help me fall asleep and I'm like
9:16
I just can't. Like what the fuck is wrong with
9:17
me? Like nothing.
9:19
Your mind is always running, it's just.
9:21
Running on 100 and I am like I just got diagnosed with ADHD
9:26
this year so now like I'm on medications I'm.
9:30
Congrats, because like, they're girls.
9:32
It's hard, everything. So now it's like.
9:34
Postpartum depression. Realizing how yeah, it's a.
9:37
Lot. It's a lot.
9:39
So you're medicated or what are you doing?
9:41
Yeah, that. And I mean, I've been working
9:43
out a lot that helps me and just, I don't know, journaling
9:48
like just doing simple stuff and I've been trying to just slow
9:51
down like my work and being more present with everything.
9:55
Just yeah, just slow down in life, yeah.
9:59
I just want to. Chill.
10:01
I don't. Want to do?
10:02
Have you ever heard this song? I got 2 phones, one for the hose
10:07
and then one for whatever. That's fucking Marina.
10:10

10:33
She's not a plumber yet, Exactly.

10:36
Shit she does. She's gonna go and start like
10:40

10:42
Gonna be AI think I would be more of like the project

manager, you know, cuz I love just seeing a space and then I'm
10:49
like oh this can you know I designed the layout so I could
10:53
see myself being like an interior designer.
10:54
For real, on my on my baby shower, Marina came over early
10:58
and she she saw me like just doing everything.
11:00
She's like, what you want me to do?
11:01
I was like, dude, do whatever. I don't care.
11:03
Just fix it for me or finish it. I'm also like an event planner,
11:07

11:09

11:12
everything. I say damn bro, need it all
11:14

11:16
You're like, duh, bro, I've been doing shit.
11:18
We get shit done over here. I love it.
11:21
OK so event planner, esthetician also working in the community,
11:29
mom a three ADHD workout. What else we got?
11:38
Girl, what else do I mean she? Homeowner, she.
11:44
Ratchet. I'm a little ratchet, but no.
11:45
Oh. Yeah.
11:45
Ratchet. Oh, yeah, Yeah.
11:47
Wait, that's the important one for sure.
11:49
Balance. OK, Tell us how.
11:51
How? Tell us how you got to MD sweet
11:54
spot. Yes.
11:55
So sweet spot. Yeah, but the pun is sweet spot.
12:00
You know, like I wanted a place for just other estheticians.
12:03
Like when I went to school, I just feel like there was no
12:06
place for other people to kind of.
12:08
I feel like I'm a mentor too. So I love teaching people how to
12:11
like do certain things. Like when you start your
12:13
business, like no one is there to guide you through it, you
12:16
know, with the insurances or the things that you need or I mean,
12:20
you're everything as an entrepreneur.
12:22
Like you're your social media person, you're, you know,
12:25
marketing and just getting things started up.
12:28
So like I man, I don't even know where to start because, well,
12:35
the sweet, the sweets and stuff was probably three years ago.
12:39
But so I've been going to school like college for like, I don't
12:43
know, 13 years or something. So I went three years in pre
12:48
nursing and then I switched to social work and I went for
12:51
another five years and I did a four year program at WSU, got my
12:56
bachelor's and then my master's. I did that advance program and I
13:00
finished in a year. Damn bro.
13:02
And then that's. Hard though 'cause Matt, like
13:04
see I went. And in a year, it was a lot.
13:07
When I switched to product design, I did a boot camp, which
13:10
they're fucking intense too. They're like they're suppose it
13:14
was like a nine month one, but like I ended up finishing it in
13:17
like a little over a year 'cause there was just no way.
13:19
But they're intense too. But I told myself I'm not going
13:22
to go get my master's. Like this is just, I cannot go
13:25
back and do homework all the time.
13:27
Like that's where I'm just done. Like I love like learning and
13:30
like still growing, but like I'm just tired of that.
13:32
But then like doing the boot camp, I was like, oh fuck, this
13:35
is school all over again. I didn't even realize it.
13:37
I love learning though, and I love school and you know, just
13:41
learning new things. And so after I graduated, it
13:46
took me a while to actually pass my exam.
13:48
So I took that shit like I don't know how many times my social
13:51
work exam and I was just always going through it like, you know,
13:54
I think my dad passed away during that time.
13:56
And then just like, you know, in between relationships moving,
14:01
like things like that, like things just kept happening.
14:03
And I with social work, I finally got into a job with my
14:08
social work stuff and then I got my license.
14:11
I passed it and I actually learned how to do like my
14:16
esthetician stuff after. So that was kind of my balance.
14:19
And that's why I still do both because you know, with social
14:22
work you get burnt towel and compassion fatigue and all of
14:25
that. And like with esthetician, I
14:28
love doing makeup and I started doing like lashes and brows and
14:31
stuff. And so that's how it started.
14:33
And then it blew up. And then, you know, I stacked
14:36
up, saved up and went to school, back to school.
14:38
Damn girl. For my S edition stuff because
14:41
I'm like I got to do this shit legally.
14:42
How did you stack up when you're also like, I've always like cuz
14:46
you're cuz you're starting things so you're having to
14:49
spend. Yes I was starting things but
14:52
I've always had like 2 jobs. OK.
14:54
Yeah, 2 two or three jobs. Always hustling, yeah.
14:59
So always grinding it. Was crazy.
15:01
Grinding in your sleep? Yeah.
15:02
Your teeth, Yeah. And she also has a really good
15:04
support system too as well. Like she has a good village,
15:07
like with all of us and everything like that.
15:11
As you guys know me, Marina used to be roommates back in the day.
15:14
Hell yeah, we're going to get into that.
15:17
Yeah, that's how we met, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:21
Because he Djed at our house warming, remember?
15:24
Yeah, yeah, I feel Dusty was always my DJ for things and now
15:30
that I'm older I'm like damn, I need to pay you.
15:32
I would pay him with shots and a couch to sleep on my.
15:35
No, remember he had a. Good time though.
15:39
House at Woodlawn. I remember I told he was like
15:43
passed out drunk and he's like, I don't know where I'm gonna
15:45
sleep. I said, you can sleep on this
15:46
couch right here. And it was my old couch,
15:48
remember? And then next morning I said,
15:51
Marina, your cousin passed out on the couch in the basement.
15:54
She's. Like, Oh my God, you slept in
15:55
the basement. The basement was scary.
15:57
Yeah. This was, this was a haunted
15:59
basement, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:01
There was a haunted basement. I never thought that.
16:03
No one told me it was haunted it.
16:05
Was a haunted bro. I know that because they told
16:08
me, but I didn't go visit it. We don't know if.
16:10
It's we never, I mean. I never encounter anything.
16:13
Shut the fuck. Wait, I did shut the fuck I
16:16
encountered that one time. Holy shit, that was the most
16:19
scariest thing I'm telling. Tell us.
16:21
Did I've she's seen a ghost in the hallway?
16:24
Yes, yes, I did. I did.
16:26
Girl, boy, tall, small, fat. It was all white.
16:29
It was all white. It was, it was so fucking scary
16:32
because I had my God sister there and then she had her aunt
16:35
there and then Marina and Trey and I don't.
16:38
Even remember exactly. I just remember you seeing it,
16:40
yeah. I or went at the.
16:42
So we watched The Conjuring and then and then I was like, I was
16:46
still awake. And because like, you know when
16:48
you watch something scary, you got to watch something like.
16:51
Yeah, you got something funny. Yeah, after that.
16:53
You got to watch some SpongeBob. So me and me and Selena were in
16:56
the living room and then I I just like fucking saw something
17:01
go across the hallway and I just fucking froze and I was like
17:06
what do I do? Like I was like, so, you know,
17:10
normal people, they're like, Nah, fuck this, I'm out.
17:13
I just went to go investigate. So you're the white person?
17:16
Yeah, I know. So I like.
17:18
That's not very ABG of you. I went to, I went to the hallway
17:23
and then I looked to my left cause on your right it's just a,
17:26
there's a with a shelf there, right?
17:28
Yes, the shelf. So First things first, I went
17:32
into Trey's room to see if he's good.
17:35
Yeah, you're like, I just need to make sure he's not possessed.
17:37
Yeah, so I checked on Trey. Good.
17:40
And then I was like, fuck, I cannot sleep.
17:42
I was like, so I went to Marina's room and said, Marina,
17:45
wake your ass up. No, crazy thing is, I feel like
17:48
in our family, if you're in tune with that kind of stuff, the
17:52
spiritual stuff, like I tune it out, like I don't want to see
17:55
that shit. I don't want to.
17:56
I'm the same way. I mean, now that I don't know if
17:59
I'm just scared of it, but I don't know.
18:01
But my son, he actually saw stuff too in the house.
18:04
Like, yeah, like he can talk to the spirits through his toys
18:08
type shit. Not yeah.
18:10
And he? Was probably like.
18:11
That's why I don't want a kid, because I like kicking.
18:13
Cuz when they're little, they that.
18:15
I feel like shut the fuck up, get out of my room right now.
18:19
He was probably like 4 at the time, four or five and like
18:22
telling me these things and I'm like.
18:24
What did I show you? Just, I mean, people will come
18:27
through and talk to him and like, and I don't know, there
18:30
were just crazy stories. Like even my cousin, she is a
18:34
spiritual healer and it's crazy. OK, so this is going back to
18:38
like me being pregnant with Trey.
18:40
Like, so I think Trey was supposed to be a twin.
18:45
And so basically, yes, the vanishing twin syndrome type
18:49
thing. And so like, she would see stuff
18:51
at that house. I lived on Woodlawn and all of
18:55
Trey's toys were in this room downstairs.
18:57
And she would be like, yeah, I see a little boy playing with
19:00
these toys, but it's not Trey. And, you know, he's obviously
19:03
not here. So I'm just like, what the fuck?
19:05
Like, Trey's supposed to be a twin.
19:07
And like, I had this little boy playing down there.
19:09
Like, this is crazy. Yeah.
19:12
There's a lot of shit that happened in that house, so I'm
19:15
glad I'm out. But it wasn't like something
19:17
that I was freaked out about. Like I lived there for years and
19:20
I'm like, no, I ain't scared of shit.
19:21
It was a little bit in the ghetto, but like I was, I was
19:23
never. I mean, like I was, I was at
19:25
first, but then like you just say fuck it, it's our home.
19:28
Like it's, it's our home, you know, So like there's times that
19:31
we like we staged the house to Sage.
19:35
Yes, Sage, Sage the house. She's talking to my realtor.
19:40
So sorry, but yeah, we staged. Fresh off the boat, if you all
19:44
didn't know. For real, we saged the house and
19:47
then I remember like the the safest, the safest spot in that
19:52
house was my room. Yeah 'cause I was not afraid.
19:56
I don't know. I I was never afraid of it,
19:58
'cause your even your cousin's just like they're afraid of you,
20:02
so they're. Like.
20:03
So because I was like, I, I kept telling them I'm like, if you're
20:07
here, come, come here, come here, come here.
20:09
More like get away. And then and then like, and then
20:12
like, we'll just sometimes like Marina and Trey will sleep in my
20:15
room too as well. And we like girl, I don't.
20:20
Remember this because I you know, I don't like sleeping with
20:22
people. No, you slept in the room with
20:24
me too before, but you guys went into the room.
20:27
But yeah, we did the sage thing and then it like left the house,
20:34
but it is like still outside. And then I don't know.
20:37
I don't know what was happening after that.
20:39
But ever since then it was just like normal.
20:41
Now just. Crazy shit happened in the owls.
20:43
Yeah, yeah, I, I believe in spirits and all of that.
20:47
Like I think like cuz grew up Catholic, you know?
20:49
So then like, I just feel like it's a tug there.
20:52
So I can't watch movies about like possession and conjuring
20:55
and stuff like that. Anyway.
20:56
Like the good spirits. Like the good spirits come to
20:58
me. Yeah, cuz like those like really
21:00
freaked me out. Like one time, I think it was
21:03
The Conjuring or the first one or second one.
21:06
One of my really good friends was in town.
21:07
This was a long time ago. And she was like, I really want
21:10
to watch this movie, Let's go. And we decided to go on a Bender
21:12
that day. So I was like, OK, I think I'll
21:15
be fine to watch this because I'm drunk.
21:17
Like I'm not going to pay attention.
21:19
So like we go to the movie theater, I pass out and I'll
21:22
fucking wake up to all of this stuff.
21:24
And I'm like, OK, I think I'll be fine though.
21:27
I'll be. Fine.
21:27
It was kind of scary when you're sleeping.
21:30
Yeah, and I thought it was fine, but then like 2 weeks later, I'm
21:32
having the worst nightmares because I was remembering
21:34
everything from Oh my God. And I was like, OK, I still
21:37
can't do this stuff. Or that one time that like that
21:41
story with my previous roommate and then remember that I would
21:44
like go and stay at your house for a minute.
21:46
Oh yeah. The whole, like the whole that
21:50
was wild. Yeah.
21:51
We, I don't know that we can really talk about that.
21:54
But that was wild. That was scary.
21:55
Like, that was like also talking like, yes, possession and like
21:59
this person going through a, what is it called when you're
22:03
like, an exorcism? Yeah.
22:05
Yeah, it was a while. Oh, that was so scary.
22:08
You remember the video? Yeah, I do.
22:11
We were like saying we. Were eating dinner, you and I.
22:14
And. They told us a lot.
22:15
We were like, yeah, we're not. Let's Fanny sleep at my house
22:18
tonight. Yeah, I was trying to convince
22:20
you to sleep at mine because I hadn't saged my house.
22:23
Yeah, I was like, hell no, Fanny, I'm not sleeping here
22:25
like you come to my house. Yes, I remember I stayed there
22:28
for a minute too. I feel like I just, I couldn't,
22:31
I could not sleep at my house for a while.
22:33
You just. Outweighed it.
22:34
Yeah, like I'm in that room. Like I just remember like, OK, I
22:38
I definitely need to sage it now and I need to like do a full
22:42
cleanse. I'm about to go ask the father
22:43
to come and cleanse my house too.
22:45
And I'm calling my mom. I'm like, mom, hey, how do I
22:50
make these crosses right now? And then like I need some Abu
22:53
Vendita. Tell me like the prayers that I
22:56
need to do because we're cleaning all this, man.
23:01
OK, but so you? Oh my God, I don't even know.
23:04
I know. No, we stopped.
23:06
No, you're good. You're good.
23:07
I mean, this is this is how this is how the podcast goes.
23:09
You go from one thing and then you go on and on to the next
23:12
thing, so it's OK. Yeah, this is how we do it.
23:14
Yeah, this is our style. Yeah, so, OK, back to the sweet
23:18
stuff. Let's see, I finished school.
23:21
And then even when I was in school, I'm like, OK, my plan
23:24
was to buy a house. I'm going to renovate it.
23:27
I'm going to have suites inside the house.
23:28
That's something I own. And I have other, you know,
23:31
workers artist there. I had two nail girls or I had
23:36
one nail girl and another esthetician.
23:38
And then I also worked in there. So we basically finished the
23:41
house and I had workers there for about a year.
23:46
And then my ass, you know, comes up with another plan.
23:49
I'm like, Oh yeah, I'm going to have a commercial space in like
23:51
5 years. But then it happened within like
23:55
a month of talking about it. So you're like really speaking
23:58
everything into? Existence I met a lady that was
24:02
like, I have a building and like I'm not doing anything with it.
24:05
And so I went to go check it out and I it's a older building
24:09
downtown and I'm just thinking in my head like all the things
24:12
that I can do with it, you know. So I fixed up that place,
24:15
renovated it and I had hair stylist, nail artists and
24:20
esthetitians there on Yeah, I just lose my train of thought
24:26
with my ADHD. It's.
24:28
OK. But yeah, so I did all the.
24:30
People in your. Place, yeah, I had people there
24:33
and I worked there as well. So that lasted maybe a year,
24:37
year and a half. And then now I'm at Skin
24:40
Essentials with the girls. We're all able to move into that
24:44
space. So I just decided not to renew
24:46
my lease because there was just a lot of things that we're going
24:50
wrong and I wasn't able to, I guess not really keep up with
24:55
it. I was keeping up with it, but I
24:56
was also going through a lot, like finding out I was pregnant
24:59
again. I had to move out like of my
25:02
house and, you know, just break up breakups and relationships
25:05
and stuff like that. So I was just going through a
25:08
lot and I'm like, OK, what do I need to do next?
25:10
Like what is beneficial for me? So I'm lucky I found a place
25:14
that like, was able to take me and my other girls in and we're
25:18
still together and yeah, so that's where we're at now.
25:22
I love that. And it's College Hill area, so
25:24
it's, you know, just a beautiful, it's just, it's down
25:27
the street from here, but it's a beautiful area.
25:30
We're going to have to go. I haven't been yet because how
25:32
was the back to school event? It was good.
25:35
We had permanent jewelry and a matcha coffee lady there.
25:40
We're supposed to have a Botox lady.
25:41
But yeah, it was a last minute event that I planned.
25:45
So it was, I contacted a bunch of vendors, but I'm like, OK,
25:49
I'm not going to make it a huge thing because you know, back to
25:52
school is like now and I have to figure out something now.
25:55
So it was a good event though. So what leads you into the
25:58
events too? Because.
26:00
Events. Yeah, because you told us about
26:03
going into the commercial space a little bit about the master's
26:06
degree. What gets you into events too?
26:08
Or it's all just kind of happening at the same time?
26:11
Kind of happening at the same time, like I just planned so
26:13
many of my own events like birthday parties and I don't
26:16
know, other people's parties. And I'm always the one like kind
26:19
of directing people like what to do this and that.
26:21
And it's not that I I want to be an event planner eventually, but
26:27
it's also like I just kind of get put in charge sometimes.
26:31
So like this past. Event.
26:32
I mean, like earlier we were trying to set up the camera and
26:35
then like all the cooks in the kitchen are headed over there.
26:37
Emily's looking we do as and now that we're on video, you guys
26:43
are going to see this. Oh my God, I forgot.
26:45
Sorry. OK.
26:46
I'm just so excited about that because I've been trying to get
26:48
on to Dusty about that forever to get on video.
26:51
And so I'm so glad that we're. Yeah, OK, sorry.
26:54
Emily's face was we're going to zoom into that.
26:57
She is not happy. Enough she has her liquid.
26:59
IV Oh, but the pineapple bar. I have the liquid IV here.
27:02
OK, sorry. I know I can't.
27:07
Like before I could do shots, but right now I'm just like oh
27:10
shit, OK, keep going. Sorry, Marina.
27:13
Sip it. We can take the shot first, OK,
27:16
She's. Like no, no.
27:18
She's. Worried I take the shot already.
27:21
Fuck. Hey, somebody has a heavy hand.
27:23
Oh. Really.
27:24
It looks like a baby shot. Oh, yes, we have an intern.
27:28
Thank you, Corey. Appreciate you.
27:30
Love you. You're the best.
27:38
For someone who is really hungover me, I think that one
27:41
was better than the first one. The first one was really hard.
27:45
If you're hungover, a shot will help you.
27:48
Those are. Sayings.
27:49
It's called the hair of the dog. The hair of the dog.
27:52
I've never heard of that. I mean, Mexicans say that too,
27:54
but I don't believe it. Like, I think that we're just
27:57
Alcoholics. Sometimes science.
28:00
Science proved. It science proved it, really.
28:03
It's because it's getting you back to being where you were
28:07
when you were buzzed and drunk. It's getting you back into that
28:10
state versus heading back towards recovery.
28:15
God, that sounds dangerous. I did.
28:16
That sounds dangerous. Oh.
28:18
Shit, Yeah, yeah, it is. I mean.
28:20
Delaying your recovery. I feel like, well, the alcohol
28:25
doesn't mix well with my meds. So like, I'm pretty good, you
28:29
know, And then like, and then I drink alcohol and so then all of
28:32
my shit comes back. You're like damn.
28:35
Yeah, yeah. And then I'm like, well, I
28:36
relapsed again. I'm sorry.
28:38
I'm sorry. Angela.
28:39
That's the name of my therapist. I was gonna say that's not your
28:41
name, Fanny. Is that your alter ego?
28:45
No, that that's my therapist. I come into the sessions and I'm
28:48
like, so I Speaking of relapsing, Oh my God, remember
28:52
how I told you that like my toxic trait is still the like
28:56
neck tattoos last night what there was a beautiful man.
29:04
Was that your blind date? No, no, no.
29:08
Did you shoot your shot? I did because I I wasn't going
29:12
to. You did.
29:13
Yeah, I was not going to because I I typically wouldn't, you
29:17
know, but I saw the next. Back then she used to be a pussy
29:20
on that shit. I'm so.
29:22
Big ass. Pussy I would never forget when
29:25
it was her, me and Jocelyn all together at the house, remember?
29:30
And when I shot my shot. Yeah, when she shot her shot
29:33
after years, her shot went down. We're like it's OK if any you
29:39
tried. It went down because I didn't
29:43
know, so OK. What did you say?
29:45
So I didn't say. All she said was like, your work
29:50

30:54
During when we live together, Marina will go through like, you
30:58
know, relationships and I've always been protective with
31:03
Marina on her relationships cuz I'm always like.
31:05
Which ones? Except one, but then all the
31:09
other ones I was like Nah fuck this good.
31:11
When I first moved up here, OK I didn't officially move up here,
31:16
but Emily had two other roommates and I basically was
31:21
like couch surfing. I'm like I'm so thankful y'all
31:23
let me. Basically they called me their
31:25
roommate and I never paid nothing.
31:27
Nothing, no, our house back then the townhouse was like everybody
31:31

31:34
Janessa, Janessa even she had her own apartment, she still
31:36

31:43
We. Had two other people there that
31:45

31:49
good time. Like like, like I am so glad
31:52
that me and Marina has still been like best friends ever
31:54
since then. I was.
31:56
We go through our shit, but man, it was.
31:58
I have to bring up this one time, though.
32:00
Yeah. OK, so I was driving back and
32:03
forth from Winfield, that's where my hometown is, and trying
32:06
to move up to Wichita. Are you?
32:07
Talking about that time. Escape from my hometown.
32:11
Like, I'm like, OK, Wichita is where I am going to move 'cause
32:15
I just need to get away from this small town.
32:17
But so I, I remember the first job I got was, I think it was
32:22
Logan. There was, Oh my God, it was the
32:23
first people that called me, I hate wearing jeans.
32:26
I hate wearing fucking Plaid shirts.
32:28
How to clean up peanuts. Anyways, So yeah, I worked
32:31
there. And then I finally got a job at
32:33
the hospital and I started working nights.
32:35
So Emily was watching Trey. Yeah, helping me babysit and
32:39
watch Trey. And I remember coming home and I
32:41
see Emily and her sootnan, which is like a Asian gown, like a
32:46
sleeping gown. Fucking ass out Trey was and.
32:52
Trey was just sleeping next to her, the amount of.
32:54
Times I've seen Emily's butt crack and her whole ass man
32:57
like. I'm like, you ain't sleeping my
32:59
yourself right now. I'm OK.
33:00
My kid is right there. It was so funny.
33:03
It was just hilarious. Because I sleep crazy.
33:05
I know, I know. It was so.
33:09
Funny that house is so fun though.
33:11
Like we had parties and we thought we were so cool because.
33:15
We thought we were so cool. We had the WSU.
33:17
Yes, we had these couches. They were my couches at we're at
33:22
that house and we're like, Oh my God, these couches are going to
33:24
be famous because these WSU basketball players, Fredman, he.
33:28
Was this is like their final four?
33:31
Yeah. They were all at our house
33:32
partying and we thought we were so cool it.
33:34
Was so funny, was Dusty D Jing. Dusty wasn't there during those
33:37
times. So Dusty was there for maybe
33:39
like four years after that, OK. OK, but you know, it's funny.
33:42
Like we still bring it up to this day and we laugh so hard
33:45
about it. And he's famous now.
33:48
We're like our girl could have, you know, been with her or not
33:50
her. But Fred.
33:52
Yeah, yeah. So you guys didn't sell the
33:55
couches and say like, hey, where is the couches?
33:57
That. You know what's funny?
33:59
I know where those couches are. Where?
34:01
So I brought them back to my parents house and then my mom
34:04
gave it away to her friend. And so it's at a family friend's
34:07
house and so those houses are still living on and that.
34:10
Couch that house came, went to my first apartment and then went
34:13
to Marine. House and.
34:15
Then went to the our other townhouse.
34:17

It literally was I. Love that.
34:23
Oh yeah. Hot Topic OK, so where we at?
34:26

34:37
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love it.
34:40
Yeah. But when everybody, when you
34:42
hear, oh, hey, Marina's doing something, we're like, oh man,

34:48

34:51
I'm like, they're really fucking tired of coming to my
34:54
graduations because what more can?
34:56

35:08
Like bro there. You have three of them?
35:09
No, I do. I do actually manage my time
35:13

35:17
And like, if you invite me to something, I'm there, you know,
35:20
I'm always there. She's.
35:21

35:23
Yeah, I I'm lucky with everything.
35:26
Like I had to start texting. You more sorry.
35:28
Yeah, go for it. I'm always looking for someone
35:32
to come do stuff with me. But also I'm like really random
35:34

35:39
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm more of a well, I have to
35:42
figure out is there kids or no kids?
35:43
Because then I got to figure out, you know, planning and
35:46
stuff. But with all my jobs and kids,
35:52
yeah. How the fuck dude actually
35:55
seriously, I don't know, running a studio?
35:58
Your full time jobs maybe? Like a year or two ago, like I
36:01
did not have my shit together. I, I'm just lucky and blessed
36:04
that like the jobs that I do have, have a great work life
36:08
balance, you know, like home life balance.
36:10
And so cuz I am like the sole caregiver, like I am the one,
36:14
you know, taking them to school, picking them up, going to every
36:17
game, going to practices, doctor's appointments, dentist
36:19
appointments, like just everything.
36:21
So I'm lucky like all my jobs, like they appreciate me and
36:26
value my time and like, respect me.
36:28
And if I need to offer something, I'm just like, OK,
36:30
I'm going to flex my time and like, you know, I need an
36:33
appointment during lunchtime and like, but everything I do, I'm
36:39
able to manage it. I guess.
36:40
Like, I don't know, it just took me years to get to where I am
36:44
and balance it with my kids because that's the number one
36:47
thing I want to do is always be present with them.
36:49
Like I always want to make it to a game.
36:51
But it's like, you know how I think it's also with Hispanic
36:55
culture too as well. Like, you know, parents would
36:57
never make it to your kids stuff because they're always.
37:01
Working. Yeah, they didn't have no.
37:02
Choice so like, you know how US like when we had like a program
37:05
or like a soccer game or anything like that, your parents
37:09
will drop you off. They're like, OK, we'll come
37:10
back and pick you up because they have to work or something,
37:14
you know, Yeah, that's why like we, our generation right now,
37:18
we're like, OK, we want to be more present with our kids.
37:20
We want to like show our kids that we will support you through
37:24
anything else. You know what I mean?
37:26
Like that's why with your son Trey, he's so fucking good.
37:31
Like, like he like that kid is so chill and understanding and
37:35
everything like that. Back in the day he was a little
37:38
asshole, but he but he, he grew up to be a really good, good
37:42
kid. Yeah, I think like, I mean,
37:46
really like our parents kind of did lay that groundwork, though,
37:48
for us to be able to be blessed, to have jobs that allow us to
37:52
have that balance. Yeah.
37:54
Because you're right. Like, man, how much like I wish
37:57
that I could have done something or the amount of times that like
38:00
I like I growing up, like not being able to do a lot of things
38:03
because like who's going to pick me up or like it doesn't align
38:05
with my dad's schedule and my mom really can't drive.
38:08
So you have to figure out like, you have to sacrifice what you
38:11
want to do. Like with Jayden, when he was a
38:13
preemie, I was a freshman and then I had to quit soccer
38:18
because I, I have to take care of Jayden and my mom couldn't
38:20
take care of him, you know, And then my dad had the liquor
38:22
store. So I had to sacrifice, you know,
38:24
what I want to do. So basically you just have to
38:27
grow up, you know, you grow up too young, you know?
38:30
But I. Think that's so true for our
38:32
culture? Sorry, go.
38:32
Ahead. Yeah, so like right now, Jayden,
38:34
like he's that kid is so blessed.
38:36
Yes, he's blessed. That motherfucker is blessed as
38:39
fuck. That's how the idea is.
38:41
Oh, like man. The thing that's also like damn,
38:44
it's you're so spoiled. No for real, you're but it's
38:46
because we. You know, because we, you know,
38:49
we want them to have everything. Yeah.
38:50
And it's hard though, right? Like, it's hard because like, I
38:53
think like me, Vera and Chairman, like we're so, like we
38:56
also grew up so fast. Yeah.
38:58
And then like the idea, on the other hand, she's getting to be
39:01
able to be her age and go through all the motions and go
39:04
through all the hard stuff like. I'm standing like life is
39:07
hitting at her and you're just like this has been lady like
39:11
Jayden too, Like Jayden just got just hit a fucking dumpster and
39:15
he's like it took him a day to tell me like a day, but I knew
39:21
about it. And what about what about his
39:24
wreck like. He literally hit a dumpster.
39:27
Yeah, I didn't know what. Like the first one he called was
39:29
Alex. And I was like, and Alex was
39:32
good for him. Yeah.
39:32
And Alex was like, don't tell him I told you this.
39:35
I'll say what happened. He goes, I don't know.
39:38
Alex was like, I don't want him to, like, think that he can't
39:41
come to me to think to me no more Fair.
39:44
And I was like, OK, so I said, no, tell me.
39:47
I need to know. So he's like, but don't say
39:48
anything until he tells you. And I, he told me what happened.
39:51
And then I was like, all right, I'm just gonna shut up and see
39:54
if you can say something. So the whole day I was like, So
39:58
what did you do today, Jayden? How was your day, Jayden?
40:01
Like Jayden was like, why? Why?
40:04
Why do you care so much? Yeah.
40:05
Why? Why do you care?
40:06
So Jayden's a college. He's in college right now.
40:08
So he's a student athlete? A young adult.
40:11
Yes, and then I was like, OK, so then.
40:16
But he finally told you. Night time came.
40:18
We're having dinner. Jayden, how was practice today?
40:20
It was good. Oh, anything else?
40:24
No. OK, so I, I like going with my
40:27
room. Like this motherfucker still
40:29
hasn't told me. But he was afraid to tell me
40:33
because, you know, I, because I raised him, you know, So he's
40:36
like, my sister's gonna, you know.
40:39
It's not gonna go out. My sister's going off.
40:41
Fucking kill me. Not worry about his parents, but
40:43
worry about the sister. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
40:46
Yeah. Yeah, I I can't be too hard on
40:48
Jaden for this though, because like the amount of times that I
40:51
wrecked cars, I wrecked hella cars like.
40:53
My family. Well, Jake, I tell Jaden every
40:56
day before he goes to school or leaves anywhere.
40:59
Be careful, Be careful. Be careful.
41:00
Be careful. Yeah, I tell him every.
41:02
Just want them to be safe. Just.
41:03
Be safe, be careful, 'cause that's my kid out in the world,
41:06
you know, like you, you don't know what's gonna happen.
41:08
Like, oh, someone's gonna cut him off and and like, you know,
41:11
they come at him, you can't be there to protect him, you know
41:13
what I mean? But at the same time, like,
41:15
Jayden needs to understand that he needs to protect himself too,
41:18
as well. Yeah, yeah.
41:20
Learn. So that's where we at right now.
41:24
How old is? Trey, he's 14 and he's.
41:26
Already, so he's getting up there too.
41:28
He just turned 14 and like freshman like 12, he's been
41:31
trying to like get me to get him a car and this and that and
41:35
teach him how to drive. And I'm like, you're so young
41:37
still. Like I want him to, but I don't
41:39
want him to grow up too fast. And you want us to be a kid, you
41:41
know? And I'm like, I know I can teach
41:43
you how to drive, but other people can, you know, like you
41:45
said, things can happen and I don't want that's your.
41:48
Baby. Yeah, that's your baby.
41:50
You know, like, like you don't want, like you want him to grow
41:53
up at the same time you don't want him to grow up 'cause you
41:54
still want him to be around you. Yeah.
41:57
And then you're just like, OK, I do have to teach him the what's
42:00
gonna happen now in the real world because if he goes out, So
42:04
what's that word? Sheltered.
42:07
He would not know what to do. Yeah.
42:09
And that's why I try to talk to him about stuff cuz he's always
42:12
like he doesn't realize how good he has.
42:14
I'm like when I was younger. Like he hasn't made.
42:17
My yeah, my parents, I put myself into like, sports.
42:20
So I was also like a tennis player, soccer player.
42:24
I'm basketball. I did track.
42:26
And I also, yeah. Did you do volleyball too?
42:28
No, no, it. Wasn't I did soccer in college?
42:31
I remember then he's like, what happened?
42:32
I was like, well, I got pregnant with you.
42:35
No, I'm living through him and he's, yeah, he's like a really
42:38
good. Soccer player.
42:38
Football player. Yeah.
42:42
So how are you? Like, yeah, as you're raising
42:45
your kids too, like, you know, making sure that they're not
42:49
sheltered, but they're also still enjoying, like their youth
42:51
and making sure that they're not growing up fast.
42:53
But you want to share like things that were passed from
42:56
your family that you do want to keep and things that you.
42:58
Don't like, like I mentioned to him, things like my parents were
43:02
never at games. Like you don't realize how lucky
43:04
I am to be able to get off work, go to every single game, you
43:08
know, just even be able to pick you up.
43:09
Like I would walk to school, I would walk to the games.
43:12
Like, well, granted it was a smaller town, but like I'm like
43:15
at your age or younger than you, I did things myself because my
43:19
parents were always working and just even going back to my
43:24
hometown, like we have had the same house for like 3540 years.
43:28
Like we still have that house and Trey will go there and he
43:33
gets like a wake up call like, you know, because no one's
43:35
really there. My mom, she works out of state
43:38
so she's only there like every couple months, but it's not as
43:42
like clean as it would be because no ones living there.
43:46
So, you know, you'll see spiders or this and that and he's just
43:49
like, Oh my God. Like he's so scared of all these
43:52
insects and you know, there might be like cockroaches or
43:56
something. And I'm like, you don't realize
43:57
I lived in that, you know, like you.
44:00
Used. To live in, Yeah.
44:02
And growing up, your parents don't know you.
44:04
Fucking sleep with them too. You're like, fucking.
44:07
Your parents don't know. Like, yeah.
44:08
We have, we have pest control now, like I have pest control
44:12
that's coming to my house and doing this because I don't, I
44:14
don't, yeah, I don't fuck with that.
44:16
Buck No, no, Yeah. Our parents don't know to like
44:19
call pest control or there's people that do these things and
44:22
people don't do it. Just shoot.
44:23
They're just like, oh, kill it, you know, I lived through.
44:26
That for me it was, we didn't have that issue.
44:29
But like living out on a ranch, all the cows, all the horses,
44:33
you know, all the fucking flies everywhere.
44:36
Yeah, all the time. That's the thing that I always
44:38
hated is the fucking flies. And kids nowadays, they're like,
44:41
they don't want to get dirty. Like I'll tell Trey, hey, take
44:44
the trash can to the, you know, to the side of the driveway or
44:47
whatever. And I can see him, like,
44:50
grabbing it and, and his friend and him had an idea.
44:53
They're like, oh, yeah, we want to come up with a business where
44:55
we can clean trash cans. And I'm just looking at him
44:57
like, boy, you can barely touch the trash can without getting
45:00
grossed out. You know, there's a company.
45:03
But it's a good idea. It's a good idea.
45:05
It's pretty cool. Have you guys seen those
45:06
companies? They went to your house and they
45:08
just like fucking takes. They have like a like a big ass
45:12
van or whatever truck. It takes the trash can and it
45:17
puts it there in the water and it's like spraying everywhere.
45:19
Oh my gosh, that's funny. That's pretty cool.
45:21
Damn. But yeah.
45:23
Cuz yeah, trash cans, you'll be getting pretty gross.
45:25
Yeah I'll be car washing my trash cans.
45:27
I'll be like oh fuck is this thing so bad cuz Everly her shit
45:30
and pee all together. Dude, girl, I'm not a good
45:33
combination. Shit, yeah.
45:37
But yeah, I just tried to remind him, like all the things like
45:40
that you should be grateful for, like, because we have like we
45:44
moved within the last year a couple of times.
45:46
And even when we're living in a big house, you know, he's going
45:50
to this predominantly white school that's, you know, rich
45:54
and all this. And I'm like, we lived in this
45:56
big house and you're never like, oh, yeah, we're rich, you know,
45:59
But then now we're we're in a smaller home.
46:01
And I'm like, you have to be lucky that we have a house.
46:03
Some people don't have that, you know, food on the table,
46:06
shelter, like everything. So I just, I don't get that.
46:08
Yeah. So I just try to remind him
46:10
like, you have to be humble. Like you don't realize you get
46:13
everything that you want and need, you know so.
46:17
Oh yeah, no, it's. Deciding those talks with him,
46:19
yeah. For sure.
46:20
Like for me, it's like going back to Mexico, like seeing how
46:23
we started, seeing how our family started.
46:26
And then it's like, yeah, like now, like, I am blessed.
46:29
I have worked really hard for all of this, but it wasn't
46:31
something that was handed. Like this is hella grind mode
46:34
since like since like teenager because like that's all you know
46:38
to do. Yeah, that is.
46:39
True, I feel like that's so true in like a lot of our like our
46:42
cultures like it's just grind mode like and also just like
46:46
immigrant cultures in general, like you just sort of like, OK,
46:51
I'm here you have. To do it.
46:52
Like, yeah, you have to show up. You just have to, you know, I
46:57
was actually even speaking on that, like I was thinking or I
47:00
saw this on me too. I like that profile.
47:03
We are me too from like on Instagram and stuff like that.
47:06
And so it was talking about like snacks that made you realize
47:10
that maybe you weren't as rich as you thought you were growing
47:13
up. And then it was like, oh, the
47:15
branded cereal for me. Like.
47:18
Like Ocean, we're really going to buy this.
47:20
I used to do when I was younger was I had like slices of cheese
47:25
and I wouldn't microwave it. I don't know I'm fucking weird,
47:28
but I wouldn't microwave it until it was like crispy like a
47:31
cheese, like a cheese, and that sounds disgusting.
47:35
No, it's actually good. OK, that's.
47:38
Gross. No, dude, back then I don't.
47:40
Mean it was weird. I'm like, I don't know, cheese
47:42
not burnt, OK? It's like crunchy, OK.
47:44
It's like a cheese it like how you would toast.
47:46
It in the microwave or in the oven?
47:48
I mean, I, I was younger, I did it in the microwave, but I'm
47:51
like. I'm like what?
47:54
I no I remember I would eat salt and and sticky rice.
47:59
Oh, I was going to say that too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
48:02
My parents would always give me that it.
48:04
Was more of my little cousins that did that, but yeah, we'll
48:06
do it. Speaking of things that we need
48:10
to put in our mouths. Take a break.
48:13
Yes, it's time to pour up. OK, let's go for a break.
48:16
This is true break. Go pee.
48:17
We'll be. Right back.
48:32
Here's to you. It's supported by One Life
48:34
Spirits. One Life Spirits is built on
48:37
purpose, culture, good people and good drinks so you can live
48:40
one life to the fullest. That means shots that are
48:43
smooth, tasteful, and pair perfectly with a lime.
48:46
Or our favorite, in orange. Because if you're still chasing
48:49
tequila with it, lime, what are you doing?
48:52
That orange slice brings out the bright citrus notes of Unavida
48:56
Blanco, which is smooth, authentic and tasteful.
48:59
Like myself. Plus, Una Vida is 100% additive
49:03
free, so you're enjoying tequila in its purest form without the
49:07
hangover regret. Yeah, because it takes us three
49:10
to five business days to recover now, and Hangzad is not my
49:13
friend. That's why you should stick with
49:17
una Vida or try cocktails instead of shots.
49:19
Okay, a little bit little. One Life Spirits also crafts El
49:22
Drago High Post vodkas and LeBron whiskey all bold, smooth
49:26
and made to share. Whether it's game night, date
49:29
night or just Tuesday night, they've got the pores covered.
49:32
Because it's not just about taste, but it's about that
49:34
feeling. And we're proud spirits knobs.
49:37
So treat yourself. Visit onelifespirits.com, swing
49:41
by the One Life Spirits bar inside of El Primo, or grab a
49:45
bottle at your local liquor store.
49:47
Cheers. That's what I was like.
49:50

51:00
About you, Marina, what do you think?

51:04
years. I just thought of it, but it's
51:05
it's really good. For like, years, yeah.
51:09
I. Think, I think back then is
51:10
you're thinking pineapple Malibu.
51:12
No, that's not mine. That was that was what we drank
51:15
for a long time, yeah. Yeah, like we I'm a Haney gang,
51:19
so I just was trying to think of a mixed drink with tequila.
51:23
That's why she's the original ABG girl.
51:26
But also just remember the guys, that's why we have One Life
51:28
spirits because they have whiskey too.
51:30
So we could always. I do have.
51:31
Jamison, we could have done some dark.
51:33

started to really get into old fashions and like go into like
51:48
all the bourbons for a minute I. I I've been on this kick of old
51:51

51:56
Oh, yeah. I feel like for me, it's also
51:58

52:01
It was like a long day. Yeah, yeah.
52:04
Like in those moments, that's when I do want whiskey.
52:06
That's when I want some something that like, I'm just
52:09

57:08
I was working. I was like, man, I kind of want
57:10
some breakfast, but then I didn't order it because I was

57:16
And I went up to the fridge and I had my fried rice that I made
57:20
from yesterday. So I was like, I'll just eat
57:21

59:36
Yeah, we're talking about ABG stereotypes.
59:38
Yeah. Which ones are facts?
59:40
Which ones are myths? They're blonde.
59:43
That's a fact. Okay, so they can be blonde, I
59:46
mean. Not blonde right now but I've
59:47
been blonde for like 10 years so.
59:50
But I went back to blonde. I said fuck you guys.
59:53
You need to understand like when people was like, oh, I'm gonna
59:56
stay with my dark hair and everything.
59:58
Like fuck no. Like you go through so much.
1:00:02
You go through so much trauma and you're like fuck.
1:00:05
I need to dye my. Hair.
1:00:05
I need to dye my hair. Yeah, yeah, I cannot.
1:00:09
Like I went back to dark to my hair when I was pregnant because
1:00:12
I was like, OK, because I don't, I'm about to have a baby.
1:00:16
I need to save my money to do this and that, you know?
1:00:18
And then now I have my baby and I'm like fuck, I need to go back
1:00:21
to my blonde hair. Like I need to go back to who I
1:00:23
am. You know what I mean?
1:00:25
You're ABG same with me, but like, yeah, when I had KOA, I'm
1:00:28
like OK, I'm going to go back to my dark hair.
1:00:31
I had extensions before blonde hair.
1:00:33
Just you know, I'd be doing it all.
1:00:35
I still get my lashes and my nails, but my hair, I'm like,
1:00:39
OK, my hair's falling out now. So I'm just keeping it natural
1:00:43
and honestly I I am loving my dark hair right now.
1:00:46
Yeah, I want to go back to dark hair too as well, but the same
1:00:48
time I cannot because if I think about my dark hair, I'm like
1:00:51
fuck my dog City days. I was like.
1:00:54
I feel like my blonde is like party days, whatever, so dark
1:00:58
hair makes me feel like I'm a little bit more professional
1:01:01
and, you know, I need to act my age a little bit.
1:01:04
I've been I've been thinking about going.
1:01:05
Back now, I might get some highlights or something.
1:01:07
Yeah, I like you and colour hair.
1:01:09
Yeah. Oh, I've been thinking about
1:01:10
doing black hair too for the same reason.
1:01:11
Just to be like no. Healthier.
1:01:14
Thank you. But like, yeah.
1:01:17
My hair's just going out, so that's why I'm like, OK, I need
1:01:19

1:03:15
I'm a new mom so I'm still. Emily on the other I OK, Emily's

1:03:29
she doesn't have to make it. Like we know she might.
1:03:32
She's gonna ignore you for a few months and then she'll pop up
1:03:35
out of nowhere and be like, oh, yeah, I'm doing this today.
1:03:37
Like, bitch, I texted you a week ago.
1:03:39

1:04:14
Is she mad? Not even.
1:04:17
She's just out there in life. I know she had her location off
1:04:20
for her like I don't know a couple months and I was like I
1:04:24
had to see her in person and confront her like bitch why your
1:04:27
location off? I know you all at home, but why
1:04:30
is it off? I was about to just stop by at
1:04:32
the house. I was about to call your mom.
1:04:34
I was about to call your mom. You.
1:04:35

Yes, yeah, same, same. Hey, she got a granddaughter, so
1:04:42
of course she's gonna. Yes, yes, same.
1:04:45
That's how I know about stuff from you, yeah.
1:04:47
But anyways, our Lao culture. The temple is like the most
1:04:53
important thing, I guess, like for last New Year's, a lot of
1:04:56
vendors come out and I don't know, it's fun, you know,
1:05:00
there's so much food and everyone's just drinking, having
1:05:03
a good time. Like if you haven't experienced
1:05:05
it, I think you have. Right, I haven't yet, and he
1:05:07
doesn't want to take me to the temple.
1:05:09
Oh, you can go on your own. Yeah, yeah, you can go with
1:05:11
Dusty. Yeah, Dusty hasn't taken me to
1:05:13
the temple. Don hasn't.
1:05:15
Taken I feel like I. Feel like every time I'm going
1:05:17
to the temple like you're out of town.
1:05:19
OK, that's fair. So that's fair.
1:05:21
I am out of town quite a bit. Well, actually there is
1:05:24
something coming up. I think it's Labor Day weekend.
1:05:27
Yeah, so. It's a three day event.
1:05:29
Yeah, I'm here. Let's go.
1:05:31
There's a three day event and they'll be vendors and stuff
1:05:35
too. It won't be as big as the last
1:05:37
New Year's, but there's that, yeah.
1:05:39
Yeah. Because New Year's is in May,
1:05:41
right? Yeah.
1:05:42
Technically it's April, but they just wait till Memorial Day
1:05:45
weekend for. Every, every, everybody takes.
1:05:47
Every state. Every state.
1:05:49
Has their own big so everybody can make it to every state
1:05:52
because a lot there's there's people out there that goes to
1:05:54
different type of States and go on all of them.
1:05:57
So like Wichita is on the maps of it too as well.
1:06:00
So that's what's great about it for Wichita.
1:06:02
Wichita a lot of our Buddhist religion is coming up hot really
1:06:09
high right now at the Laotian community.
1:06:13
So that's pretty good also what else can I think of?
1:06:19
I don't know, like, you know how like people say that I.
1:06:22
Just got drugs. You know how a lot of people,
1:06:27
like people say that our food is just very like stinky or.
1:06:32
I mean the the racists say that I yeah.
1:06:34
I love y'all but but I mean like.
1:06:36
The way we make it, the ingredients that are in it.
1:06:38
Are obviously yeah, our our foods are.
1:06:40
Like Menudos stinks. Yeah, but our food is like.
1:06:43
It's how do I it's so fucking good though.

That's what we like. Yeah, there is a lot of sour a.
1:06:52
Lot of sourness, that's what we. Like and spicy.
1:06:54
Yes, I think that's why I love Lao food because like you guys
1:06:58
also like spicy and like, I mean, not all the Asians like
1:07:02
spicy. I mean, well, like that's,
1:07:05
that's really broad, but like, Koreans don't do spicy.
1:07:08
Spicy dude. Yeah, everything is spiced for
1:07:11
them. Their tabuki is spiced, Yeah,

But but I was like, oh shit, you want me to die?
1:07:40
She's like, but I made you this son.
1:07:42
I was like, OK, that's fine. But actually, you know, like for
1:07:45
Latinos, Mexico is the only country that actually does spice
1:07:49
a lot of the other countries like.
1:07:51
Don't they have Mexican? Cuz I'm like, oh, I like spicy
1:07:53
and you know, just salty, not salty.

Like, I think Tower, Yeah. Like, I think, I think also a
1:07:59
lot of our dishes are sweet and spicy, Yeah.
1:08:03
Where you guys are more savoury, a little more sour and spicy.
1:08:07
Yep, yeah. Exactly, Yeah.
1:08:10
Is that why you think we like put sugar in some of our stuff
1:08:14
to like, kind of calm that down? Yeah, that's why you know how
1:08:17
they say Vietnamese people, they don't put sugar in their food,
1:08:19
but Asian people allow people to put sugar in their food.
1:08:22
Oh, I didn't know that. Are you a sugar person?
1:08:24
No, I. Don't.
1:08:25
I'm not. I'm not a sugar person either.
1:08:26
I don't know my sour and spicy. Stuff I've had has been
1:08:31
Vietnamese. I don't think I've had stuff

1:08:47
your food? Oh yeah, Tomato, onions,
1:08:51

1:08:53
Put chicken feet in there if you want.
1:08:55
Not chicken feet, but chicken feet is.
1:08:58
I'm not a big fan of chicken feet or tomato and.
1:09:01
Not in foot in. We know she'd be talking out of

1:09:09
half the time she's so confident and.
1:09:11
Like she'll be telling you something and that's cool.
1:09:14
And I'll be like, do you believe her?
1:09:16

1:09:38
like, bitch, you think? You think I'm really going to do
1:09:41
that? You know, fucking leave to Texas
1:09:43

1:09:46

1:09:50

1:10:02
What's in it? What's ABG?
1:10:04
OK. Name.

1:10:22
Ever since you'd be spending. You know, Alex would be like
1:10:25
he's be like, fuck, babe, do you really need this like Louis
1:10:28
Vuitton bag cost fucking $1000 and we could put this toward the
1:10:30
house and we get to make a bathroom with this money.
1:10:33
I was like but but Louis Vuitton never lose value so I can always
1:10:38
resell it. Have you ever actually resold?
1:10:41
I have you have. Wow.
1:10:43
I got my money, I have a lot of purses that I don't even use
1:10:45
anymore. Hey.
1:10:46
Yo, you remember that, Louis? OK, so there's that.
1:10:50
I don't know who got it for me, but it was for.
1:10:51
Mom. My mom always be giving me her
1:10:55
hand me down stuff, but normally it's real but because you know.
1:10:59
I think fun fan will understand this because you know how like
1:11:02
back in in third world countries, yeah, they sell
1:11:05
bougie. Yeah, yeah, the fake ones.
1:11:06
Yeah, the fake ones. So I was wearing it in.
1:11:08
My hat right now. Oh.
1:11:11
You know what? It's fine.
1:11:12
Yeah, wear it. Yeah, own it.
1:11:14
But so the bag that I had, it squeaked.
1:11:18
Like a bird. Like I'd just be wearing it
1:11:20
walking around. And I'm like, and I'm like,
1:11:23
Marina, your, your purse is kind of talking, right?
1:11:26
He's like. Bunny talks, Bunny talks I.
1:11:33
Was like nobody got to know, OK. Nobody knows.
1:11:35
Nobody know. Well, now they know.
1:11:38
That was like 10 years ago, OK. OK, OK.
1:11:40
What else is in is in the starter pack.
1:11:42
So we got name brands, we got. Blonde hair.
1:11:45
Blonde hair. I don't know if I can consider
1:11:49
myself an ABG girl. I don't know why you're saying I
1:11:52
am. I feel like I'm more just.
1:11:54
I never said you're ABG, it's them.
1:11:57
Yeah, that's true. Which?
1:11:59
Is a typical Asian girl OK? I don't know, but I mean, it's
1:12:02
only right now because you don't have blonde hair.
1:12:04
Maybe that's the only reason you're not right now.
1:12:06
That's true. What what?
1:12:09
What's the thing culture plays? What is that?
1:12:13
So I like even like, just like dating outside your culture and
1:12:18
how like that can I feel like, you know, Yeah, it, it can be.
1:12:23
There's a lot of things to explain sometimes.
1:12:25
Yeah, I got a wide ass baby. You do, you do.
1:12:28
Yeah. You went and settled in with
1:12:30
outside your culture. I guess before.
1:12:35
Trey's the only one mixed one. Yeah.
1:12:37
But in our small town, like there's so many louse people
1:12:40
there that everyone is, knows our culture.
1:12:44
You know, they love our food. They just are around us all the
1:12:46
time. They know how we are.
1:12:48
So I think now, like if I were to date someone that was, I
1:12:50
don't know, just, you know, a different race for me, it would
1:12:54
be hard to explain because I do like going to the temple and
1:12:57
doing the traditional stuff. So I don't know.
1:13:00
Yeah. I wouldn't be hard.
1:13:02
I wouldn't. I don't have a problem with
1:13:04
dating outside my culture. Yeah, you know, as long as the
1:13:07
person I'm dating also has done the work to know whether or not
1:13:11
they want to date outside their culture.
1:13:13
Because some people I think like will be like, because it's such
1:13:17
a like, trendy thing. I want to be with a lovely.
1:13:21
That's not in my culture, actually.
1:13:22
Yeah, I I love being able to share my stuff.
1:13:25
I want and I want somebody to be able to share theirs with me
1:13:28
like that. I love.
1:13:29
And then being open to learning more about you.
1:13:31
Yeah, I love that. Yeah.
1:13:33
So like I'm. But there are things that I
1:13:35
think can be a little hard, hard sometimes, like even just like
1:13:39
how Latinos love and how like, yeah, how like we're very like,
1:13:45
we're hopeless romantics, like raised on the novellas.
1:13:48
So like, we're just hopeless romantics and like we're we
1:13:52
probably. Easily, I learned that never
1:13:54
everything is not like a novella.
1:13:56
Yeah, and and it's like so hard because you're just like, OK,
1:13:59
wait, no, that was toxic. Yeah, so I feel like we should.
1:14:06
Into lightning. Room.
1:14:07
Yes. Lighting round.
1:14:08
It's time for Lightning Round. OK, so this is the fun part
1:14:13
where we're just going to ask you a bunch of questions.
1:14:16
We can go back and forth if you want to start or I can start,
1:14:19
you can start. OK, And then you're just going
1:14:22
to name things that first come to mind.
1:14:26
So browser lashes, if you could do one for one forever, which
1:14:30
one? I say lashes.
1:14:31
Lashes. Lashes.
1:14:33
Yeah, lashes. OK, you'd give up the brows.
1:14:36
Actually, fuck, I don't know. Because like, I feel like if
1:14:40
your browser fucked up and your friends didn't tell you, that's
1:14:42
messed up. I said.
1:14:43
I mean, like for myself. Your eyebrows.
1:14:45
You mean like for myself or for my clients?
1:14:47
For you, bitch. Oh, for me, yeah.
1:14:50
Lashes. Lashes.
1:14:51
Yeah, because I look like a naked mole rat without lashes.
1:14:54
I'm like, no, that's the one. Thing a damn cancer patient if I
1:14:58
don't have to. I tried like, no, no, no, no.
1:15:01
I tried to give it up for a little bit like a couple months,
1:15:04
like I'm like, I'm be home with the baby.
1:15:06
Yeah, I need it. It helped.
1:15:08
It just it really builds up your confidence.
1:15:10
Exactly. You can just go out and you
1:15:12
know, look presentable without having makeup or anything like
1:15:15
browse too, but no lashes. I have to have my lashes.
1:15:18
If it wasn't for my anxiety I'd do lashes but I can't do it.
1:15:21
Maybe this time I'll be different.
1:15:23
Best. Beauty.
1:15:23
I'm medicated. Marina OK best beauty hack you
1:15:27
swear by but clients never listen to wash your lashes.
1:15:34
Am I right or am I wrong? I'm like my clients are actually
1:15:37
really good about taking care of their lashes.
1:15:39
Like they don't come with like them crusty.
1:15:40
Because they're fucking expensive bro who the fuck
1:15:43
wants? To Yeah, When one falls out,
1:15:45
you're like, Oh my God, that's like a dollar, no.
1:15:48
For rent I. See.
1:15:49
I see it fall. Out, though it's normal for it
1:15:50
to come. Off I see one fall off and I'm
1:15:52
like I'm like oh shit as fuck. That means I had to feel pretty
1:15:55
soon. But yeah, I think.
1:16:02
It is lightning round big. Damn.
1:16:03
Think about it. Damn.
1:16:04
I can't think I'm OK. OK, I'm gonna just I'm gonna
1:16:09
just stick with that one. The cleaning, the lashes.
1:16:11
OK, one. Product every girl should.
1:16:13
Own one product every girl should own pre cleanse with
1:16:19
Dermalogica. It melts your makeup and like
1:16:23
cleanses your skin really good and just takes out all the
1:16:26
impurities. I like those.
1:16:29
Just smell top of your makeup. I've switched to those two.
1:16:32
Craziest thing a client has said in your chair?
