Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is he said a y at the Hope with
Eric Winter and Rosalind Fantaz.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All Right, good morning, welcome to another episode of he said,
Aya the Hope. Afternoon, whatever time you're wating to direct
podcast or good evening. You never know when people are listening. Yeah,
you're listening to podcasts, like all day long. I see you.
It's like your new favorite thing.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I love listening to podcasts.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm going to talk about the fact that our listeners
really wanted to get some questions answered. So our next
couple of episodes are gonna be dedicated to the listeners,
just answering your questions. We're gonna bear all.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And can I tell you something. We got an overwhelming
response from all over the world. We cannot believe how
many different countries we got messages from. So I was
what incredible. So thank you so much for listening. And
you have no idea how much it means to us that,
he said. Ajadjo is traveling overseas and people from everywhere
(00:59):
are enjoying the show. We make them laugh and we
make them think and it's awesome. So again, thank you
from the bottom of our heart.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Are they laughing at us or with US, probably probably
at US a lot. Now. I guess the number one
question people wanted to know was how we met. And
I know we've talked about this, probably since one of
our earliest podcasts, but I'll say it. We never agree
on this. We met at a club and she hates
that term, but we made at a venue. It was
(01:27):
an event, a venue that functions as a club that
that night. It was an event for I believe, like
a pioneer speaker. I saw this beautiful girl the VIP area,
dancing around and friends I don't know, but I saw
you standing up there drinking something wasn't alcohol, I found out.
(01:49):
I got my way into the VIP area and I
hit on her just very nicely. I just asked if
I could buy her drink and introduced myself, no line
or anything, and she basically said I don't drink, you
can get me a pineapple juice. And then she shut
me down because she said, thank you for the pinapple juice.
But I have a boyfriend, and so we never. They
(02:09):
basically died right there. There was no there was no relationship,
there was no opportunity. My friend was with me and
she had a couple of friends with her and she
went off to go shoot. Roslyn went off to go
shoot a movie in Puerto Rico, and she was gone
for almost three months. I think I enjoyed almost for it.
I ended up just hanging out with her friend and
my friend and we all became sort of mutual friends
(02:31):
and going out and we were living the single life,
hitting up the club and Roslyn came back in town
and we all sort of reconnected as friends, like a
group of us. And she was sort of going through
her own journey and her own personal life, and I
was a single guy, and I've never done this before,
but we started as friends.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That was never a He was so patient and so kind, but.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I had resigned to the fact, to be honest, like
I wasn't sitting there patient in hopes that I was
going to close the deal, Like I wasn't going to
be disrespectful to.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
The situation.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, the situation. I was very mindful. You were in
a relationship and I was fully single, like I was
still living my life and dating and doing my thing,
and we just all were became friends and that sort
of built into something more. And here we are twenty
years later, just living the dream.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Twenty kids just about twenty almost nineteen.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
This year is going to be nineteen years together. This inane,
this Thanksgiving era like October, I think is We always
say it was the time we started dating. So this
would be nineteen years together, sixteen years married. This year, wow,
this fall.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So that's the story.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Effortless, seamless, and it's you know, it's just rainbows, butterflies
and cotton candy and old is it? Uh wow? Five
fifth it's lovely. It's lovely.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
We I think it is.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We listen.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's like every relations special, every marriage. You know, it's
a lot of work, especially when you when you add
kids to the to the recipe. But it's been blissful
and it's been pretty unbelievable. And you know what, it's
a big accomplishment. Almost twenty years together. That that right
there is a big accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Especially in our business. It's it's huge. But for any relationship,
twenty years is an amazing chunk of time. And like
she said, it takes work and effort, and we will
put that time in. Second most asked question was Roz
do you will you do another guest appearance on the
Rookie A.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I would love to, but I've never been invited to
go back.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, I guess if you're if, I guess they'd have
to find a reason for your character to come back
on the Rookie.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
But I would love Can they just give you a
different character for.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Roz to get a totally new character, as I caught
my hair, I'll do a little Bob, I'll look very cute.
If we do another Rookie spin off, would you be in? Yeah,
if available, of course, if she's a available and it's
the right role, and that'd listen.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
The Rookie phenomenon is pretty it's pretty big. It's a
wonderful family. So it'll be my my, my honor.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Of course, we'd be lucky to have you. I hope
she comes back. That would be really cool.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You another question, let me read, does Ross ship Chanford
look at Eric's face.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Looking down?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You do?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I'm looking at the question the listener questions.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You Chord listen. This is an interesting question, a good question. Actually,
it depends on what day you ask me. Yeah, there
are some days that I love Chanford. There are other
days that I you know that it's hard.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, I think the truth is you fully support the
show and the characters I think what's hard is that
there have been many times where fans blur the lines
of what is television and what is real life. And
I think what people don't all see or know is
that often Roslin gets tagged on random posts about the
(06:12):
relationship on the show, and for any partner that can
be a very uncomfortable thing to sort of have to
see all the time in the context in which it's
created online. And so I think Roz has been an
incredible supporter of the show and of our characters one percent.
But I think and I'm not a supporter of this either.
We both aren't supporters of fans blurring the lines between
(06:35):
reality and television.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Listen, there are three things to be completely transparent. Okay,
since you're asking, I'm going to answer. There are three things.
Number One, thank God that I am a very very
secure human being, because I think any of the girl
would have lost her bananas based on the constant I'm
(06:58):
constantly bombarded with tags, and you know, like it's every
single day, and I'm heavy and the social media, I
don't know if it's on Twitter, and I don't go
to just following and it just goes to everybody. It
says for you. I see everything, and I read everything,
and my name is always included, which is always It's
a tricky, but thank God that I've been the I
(07:20):
have the blessing that I'm very secure, so very little
things bother me. Number two and this is the truth.
Thank God that I happen to like Melissa a lot.
I think she is a wonderful girl. I think she
is nothing but sweet and kind and loving and loves
on me all the time, you know. So I have
somebody that energetically has never given me a reason to
(07:43):
be like, eh, I don't know if I like this.
You know, she's always been incredibly nice, So that makes
things easier. If I would have felt, oh, I don't
trust this girl, this cheek is a little old, you know,
like something like that, then it would have been severely
uncomfortable to know that for seven years, my husband is
on a storyline with a storyline that is highly effective,
and that I don't like the girl.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And by the way, that that's across the board. Just
people know in our business that's very common.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Like if somebody percent of the time, it's very uncomfortable
because you just don't trust or you or you don't
really care for the other person, but they make it
tricky for you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And we've had it both ways, Like I've had it
where I'm not super comfortable with.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I had I had an incident with a specific show
and this is a person that you are that that
was your friend and you were incredibly uncomfortable and I
have to reassure you for a long time, don't worry
about it. And he didn't want to have it at all.
It was really bad, and I didn't want to do
that to Eric because he knows how much I know
how much he loves the rookie I know how much
(08:46):
he loves his rookie family. And kudos to them to
creating a storyline that has been so incredibly effective worldwide.
You know, it's like really impressive. So as an actress
to a fellow actress an actor, I just go, Wow,
that's amazing, because that's very difficult to do. So because
of that, I'm because she's super cool, because I'm very
(09:08):
secure and number three, to be honest, ninety nine percent
of the comments from the fandom of Chanford are very
supportive towards me, you know, like I receive a lot
of love from the majority of you, guys, and it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, a lot of the Jenfer fans have totally fallen
in love with you and support you and all your
ventures and things that you're doing. Some of them have
rescued dogs from us, which is exactly right.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So I feel like, even though I'm not part of
the show, I feel very much a part of the
show because the embrace has been unbelievable and you guys
make it much easier for me to love Chanford as well.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Thank you everybody. Yes, I think all right? Next question?
Is Eric a bad driver? Come on, at I'm going
to say that. The first question was at Elina and
you say the word. Second one is at Zeba at
simb just giving the tag? Now is Eric a bad driver?
I'm a great driver.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
He's a terrible driver.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Great driver, Eric, I'm so good, guys. I know's car
and we talked about that and.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
My car also gone and I'm a great driver, guys.
Is not what may you go into acting? Hashtag? Leon?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Me?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I think.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I'm sorry, at Leon, what made you go into acting
to me?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Guys? I've Roslin was pushed out the womb saying here
showtime that I'm person in Centsus and I'm minded act
for sure. Was the like mom performer, that was performer
(10:55):
right out the womb. That was her still to this day.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And wow, I'm actually much.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
She's toned down mellow right now. I was total opposite.
I was an athlete my whole life, pre med student
at U c l A. I got wrapped up in
this in a very weird way. It took a drama
class in college, started dating a girl that was like,
you need to model, and got me introduced to some
agent and it just kind of snowball from there. I
enjoyed it and just decided to dig in and start studying.
(11:25):
I have totally different path than Roslynd.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay at Jimma, what cologne is Eric's favorite?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I think it's the.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
One that is called Molecule.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yep, that's what I use every day pretty much.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Molecule is really good at Gods. Does Ross have a
favorite moment on The Rookie?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
She doesn't watch the show.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't watch the show, but my favorite moment is
My favorite moment is Vi Castillo when she showed up
to stir things up my episode. I thought it was
very cute, was it?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It was good?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
It was good othough Eric showed me this. He was
so mad at.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Migul's I don't even act like you care about that.
That was a joke. We never she never watches the show.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Eric, that he was very proud of and you didn't care.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And he was a favorite moment because you didn't care.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh my god, I care. It was I was very
impressed by him. I just thought it was very unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Was the joke they went down, guys, when a hammer,
everybody knows the Hammer giant. That was the joke of
the whole thing. But Bradford's a badass, so it made
what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
His name is the hammer, the guy that you you
were fighting.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He's a giant dude.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That was like the whole And I learned that he's
actually a real stunt man.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, he's a real stunt man. He's uh. He was
fantastic in the role. Yeah, in real life he'd kill me,
But that was the joke behind it all. He'd kill Eric.
Bradford's a badass. Eric maybe at times don't so anyways,
what else, at least any tips for going on vacation
(12:54):
with young kids, great one, bring some help depends what
kind of vacation you're going on. I like to say,
when you go on vacation with kids, it's actually just
called a trip. It's not really vacation. You have vacation,
it's going somewhere. That's it. I wouldn't say it's relaxing.
I mean, if you can bring any help then if
you want to have like a parent getaway, or if
they have a good kids club, I guess. But we,
(13:16):
you know, we've just found ways to just kind of
embrace those big vacations, make it about the kids, make
them have the best time possible. We've obviously had plenty
of vacations before kids, so we embrace it. We're in
a discussion about one now because I want to go.
We want to go back to a place that we
absolutely love, the kids love. Rosin wants to change it
up to you, it's about the kids.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I want to try something new.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
They both just so you know, are like, can we
go back please? I love that place? Oh my god,
that was my favorite. Okay, we'll probably have to go back.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Look at this Atkira from Austria, are you say Austria
is your rum going to be available in your road.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Not out the gate? Everybody our rum up. I will
keep you very updated, not internationally, but our rum when
we launch, and it will be all on our handles.
Remember it's at Palm Republic Rum either on Instagram, Twitter
or x I should say TikTok and Facebook. We'll keep
updating everybody. When we launch, looking somewhere around May mid May.
(14:15):
Pre orders will start probably end of April. We will
be sold direct to consumer off our website in forty
three states, and we will be in market like on premise.
Off premise they call it at select hotels and liquor
stores and bars in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina and
some select spots in California. Just out the gate.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Out the gate.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
That's when we start.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Very cool.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Okay, Europe, We're coming for you.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh my god. Kaylin Willis ask when it comes to
messing around with the kids, who ends up being the
party pooper?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, that's Roz, one hundred percent messing over the kid.
I'm one always mess out of the kid. No, just
just this morning, I came in the bedroom with us.
He wanted to sleep with us, so he did for
the morning, and then we woke up and had a
massive pillow fight, and the one that was the party
pooper was because it hurt.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
He threw him on top of me.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Guy, I know he threw himself.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, it was seven in the morning. I just wanted
to sleep a little more because we don't get to
sleep in and they decided to get into a full
wrestling pillow fight at that time, when I was like,
is this necessary?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I don't know what it is. They love to wrestle.
They want to fight me all the time. It's really rough.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It always worries on her, who's obsessed because you think
she's a boy. Eric has this thing that Sabella is
like his little boy is like, Sabella is so rough,
and you taught her to be this rough.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I mean since she was little. It's true, Like I
didn't we didn't know we were having a second kid,
and I didn't know I was going to have a boy.
And Sabella is a girl that can do very girly
things and also can be a tomboy, which I love.
She can mix it up and she loves to fight,
she loves sports.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
She loves stand it.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
There we go answer your question.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Party pooper okay.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
From Serbia Sandra at sandram I hope we're saying that right.
Advice forgetting kids into sports, Oh, we're probably the last
people you want to talk to about that. We are
a sports mess in our household. Our advice would be
if I could go back a little bit and set
myself up patients support just pure love. Introduce them to
(16:19):
as many sports as possible. Try to, you know, if
one sticks great, lift them up, especially early on. Let
them keep trying it and proving again. If they switch
and say I want to try something else, go back
to something else. Let them be versatile athletes, trying everything,
and don't put too much pressure or expect too much.
We've made so many mistakes, especially when it comes to tennis.
(16:40):
I think with Dylan we're doing much better. He plays soccer.
We introduced him to basketball, we introduced him to you know,
bits and pieces of baseball, and he loves soccer, so
he's not obsessed with it. So we're patient. But with Sabby,
I think we got a little bit pushy early on.
We're backing off now we're much better.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, at s any advice for single people, Should I
be outdating or at home working on myself and the
right person will come along.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You're gonna get two answers roight here, Oh you said
a little bit of both both.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I think it's good for you to stay home and
work on yourself because I think you have to make
yourself happy first before you can offer anything to anybody else.
Be in love with you, respect you, before you pretend
that the universe is going to just give you the
right person. But you have to actually go out a
little bit, because what it's it's not worth doing all
(17:30):
the work if nobody gets to meet you.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, I mean you're I think you're and you can
implement it. I think you're spot on with that for sure.
And what you're saying, I'm surprised we fully agree on this.
But I listen, I'm all about the numbers game. I
would just get out there.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's disgusting. What do you mean the numbers game?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Roll the dicency? How many people you can meet?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Are you joking?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
See how many people you can meet? I mean in
a good way, Like, just be out there, mix it up,
meet me.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I wonder if you're gonna be like Maurici Umanski.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
That's what I have to do. What one daddy with
the stars and run very successful real.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
After twenty seven years an incredible marriage and four beautiful girls,
and now they decide that he wants to continue his way,
going to going to.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Go date women that want to explore a bit more fluid.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Is that going to happen to you?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That happen to you?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't think this is where she wanted at all.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I think.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I think his ways. She got tired. She want to
be home. She wanted to just bember Well. The void,
the lack of attention from the husband made her see.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
You turning on me and going for a woman?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Are you joking?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Caroline Rogers from Dublin, Wow, what made you start the podcast?
I jumped down to the next one from Dublin, Okay,
to Dublin. What may I start the podcast? You know,
we we had been approached funny Enough by a network
here to possibly do some sort of a scripted show
based on our lives in a way that was scripted
(19:09):
not about Eric and Roslind, but inspired by our journey
and who we are, cultural differences and very different people
in general. And we were in the process of developing
that sitcom and then I got the rookie funny Enough
and she got Grand Hotel and everything kind of that
went away. For now, and it rolled into a relationship
with one of the producers we had with iHeart and
(19:29):
we talked about doing it as a podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yep, and it's been a lot of fun. Okay at
Lily May Todd, mat Todd. I don't know, how do
you choose your kids' names? And if you could go
anywhere in the world for free, where would it be? Okay, Sabella.
We went to a vineyard in Napa, California, and there
was a bottle that called Sabella and it was a
combination between Sebastian and Isabella. The owner of the vineyard
(19:52):
combined both names Isabella Sebastian into Sabella. We loved it,
and we said if we ever have a daughter, one
day it was is in between Emilie or Sabella. But
when I delivered, when we see her, we're gonna know.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
What the name is going to be. Any thing about
meanings of names. And I remember being at work and
I texted you and I said, just so you know,
I researched both names and Amelia meant hard worker and
Sabella meant God's Promise. And I was like, come on,
I mean, either she's a hard worker or she's God's
promise God, God's promise. Yes, son against Amelia, by the way,
(20:26):
but that was just between the two.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And then Dylan was I was in the under the
influence of Narco the pain killers when I just delivered him.
So I was in my at the hospital and I.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Didn't know Dylan had name for at least And then
I went to a.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Book when they were doing his circumcision, he was Eric
was waiting for him, and then he was reading a
book of names that they provided the hospital. And then
he called me saying, listen, listen, what about Dylan because
it remans this and this and that. I was a
little groggy.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I was dizzy.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I don't know what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Was always. I gave her a whole pitch about Dylan's
the god of the ocean and water or something like that.
I forgot the whole thing. I was like, you're from
Puerto Rico, I grew up in La I had a
whole pitch together. She still wasn't buying it. She said
if Gabrielle was the middle name, she'd consider it. And
then I said, we said, the only way we would
decide is rock paper scissors, And it was best two
out of three and.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, we rock paper scissors for Dylan.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Do you see that's how drug I was rock papers.
That's how you got it, and that's how you won. OK,
but I love it now. It's a beautiful name.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Let's see. We probably have time for one more. Have
either of you ever suffered from mental health? That's a
good question.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I do know what one second and the free place
I would like to go to Dubai. Oh, yes, Dubai.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I've ben at Dubai briefly, but I would love to.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Give you a perforate vacation, change my mind. Japan.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I did the USO tour I wanted to buy briefly.
I lived on the base and I didn't get to
really sight see in Japan. Well, also Japan. Those are
two and so far in Africa, so many? All right,
Do either of us ever suffer from mental health? I
would say that's a great question. Heavy. I would say,
not diagnosed in any way, but we both, uh, you know,
have moments that we deal with, whether it's a version
(22:06):
of depression or a version of stress. And Roselin definitely
definitely suffers from a bit of anxiety at times. What
you do you get in clutrophobia and anxiety and situations
on airplanes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Is that a mental health issue?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, oh yeah, you deal with some things for sure.
We've been open about that.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, that hope that answers your question. Let's do one more.
I'm married for thirty one years. This is at Mike Rizzy.
I have married thirty one years, and I was wondering
how you keep your the spark in your marriage? Mike.
It's a great question. How do we keep this the
spark in our marriage?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
You answer?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I think it just again takes work, creativity, fun, attention
to detail, taking the extra time with each other, you know,
being there for each other things are difficult, and also
you know with intimacy, and I think it's just being
present as much as possible. It takes work for sure.
(23:08):
After you've been married for especially you thirty one years,
that's much longer than us. So you know, it's about
continuing to raise the bar and evolve with your creativity.
I think, yes, that's my best advice.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Beautiful, Well that's one last one, last one. Look at
this one at Tim Bradford Defender. Is it hard to
decide on what to share because the media can pick
it up and run away with it. Yes, Eric is
much more mindful as you can tell. And if you've
been listening to the podcast since a very very beginning
two years ago, I am more open and comfortable. I'll
(23:43):
just say whatever comes out of my mouth. I don't
I don't really have too much of a filter, which
is Eric is very mindful about everything, and he's always
thinking about Budda. But so one's always listening. And what
about if they take it wrong and don't don't say
that raw? So oh yeah, Eric is always filtering. What
should we say is accurate? I wish it would just
be more carefree and more open.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Don't don't say something wrong. We're about to wrap it up,
all right, Well, answer more questions on the next episode.
Until next time. Bye, I love you, Thanks for listening.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Bye,
This is he said a y at the Hope with
Eric Winter and Rosalind Fantaz.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
All Right, good morning, welcome to another episode of he said,
Aya the Hope. Afternoon, whatever time you're wating to direct
podcast or good evening. You never know when people are listening. Yeah,
you're listening to podcasts, like all day long. I see you.
It's like your new favorite thing.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I love listening to podcasts.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm going to talk about the fact that our listeners
really wanted to get some questions answered. So our next
couple of episodes are gonna be dedicated to the listeners,
just answering your questions. We're gonna bear all.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And can I tell you something. We got an overwhelming
response from all over the world. We cannot believe how
many different countries we got messages from. So I was
what incredible. So thank you so much for listening. And
you have no idea how much it means to us that,
he said. Ajadjo is traveling overseas and people from everywhere
(00:59):
are enjoying the show. We make them laugh and we
make them think and it's awesome. So again, thank you
from the bottom of our heart.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Are they laughing at us or with US, probably probably
at US a lot. Now. I guess the number one
question people wanted to know was how we met. And
I know we've talked about this, probably since one of
our earliest podcasts, but I'll say it. We never agree
on this. We met at a club and she hates
that term, but we made at a venue. It was
(01:27):
an event, a venue that functions as a club that
that night. It was an event for I believe, like
a pioneer speaker. I saw this beautiful girl the VIP area,
dancing around and friends I don't know, but I saw
you standing up there drinking something wasn't alcohol, I found out.
(01:49):
I got my way into the VIP area and I
hit on her just very nicely. I just asked if
I could buy her drink and introduced myself, no line
or anything, and she basically said I don't drink, you
can get me a pineapple juice. And then she shut
me down because she said, thank you for the pinapple juice.
But I have a boyfriend, and so we never. They
(02:09):
basically died right there. There was no there was no relationship,
there was no opportunity. My friend was with me and
she had a couple of friends with her and she
went off to go shoot. Roslyn went off to go
shoot a movie in Puerto Rico, and she was gone
for almost three months. I think I enjoyed almost for it.
I ended up just hanging out with her friend and
my friend and we all became sort of mutual friends
(02:31):
and going out and we were living the single life,
hitting up the club and Roslyn came back in town
and we all sort of reconnected as friends, like a
group of us. And she was sort of going through
her own journey and her own personal life, and I
was a single guy, and I've never done this before,
but we started as friends.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That was never a He was so patient and so kind, but.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I had resigned to the fact, to be honest, like
I wasn't sitting there patient in hopes that I was
going to close the deal, Like I wasn't going to
be disrespectful to.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
The situation.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, the situation. I was very mindful. You were in
a relationship and I was fully single, like I was
still living my life and dating and doing my thing,
and we just all were became friends and that sort
of built into something more. And here we are twenty
years later, just living the dream.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Twenty kids just about twenty almost nineteen.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
This year is going to be nineteen years together. This inane,
this Thanksgiving era like October, I think is We always
say it was the time we started dating. So this
would be nineteen years together, sixteen years married. This year, wow,
this fall.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So that's the story.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Effortless, seamless, and it's you know, it's just rainbows, butterflies
and cotton candy and old is it? Uh wow? Five
fifth it's lovely. It's lovely.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
We I think it is.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We listen.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's like every relations special, every marriage. You know, it's
a lot of work, especially when you when you add
kids to the to the recipe. But it's been blissful
and it's been pretty unbelievable. And you know what, it's
a big accomplishment. Almost twenty years together. That that right
there is a big accomplishment.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Especially in our business. It's it's huge. But for any relationship,
twenty years is an amazing chunk of time. And like
she said, it takes work and effort, and we will
put that time in. Second most asked question was Roz
do you will you do another guest appearance on the
Rookie A.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I would love to, but I've never been invited to
go back.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, I guess if you're if, I guess they'd have
to find a reason for your character to come back
on the Rookie.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
But I would love Can they just give you a
different character for.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Roz to get a totally new character, as I caught
my hair, I'll do a little Bob, I'll look very cute.
If we do another Rookie spin off, would you be in? Yeah,
if available, of course, if she's a available and it's
the right role, and that'd listen.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
The Rookie phenomenon is pretty it's pretty big. It's a
wonderful family. So it'll be my my, my honor.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Of course, we'd be lucky to have you. I hope
she comes back. That would be really cool.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You another question, let me read, does Ross ship Chanford
look at Eric's face.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Looking down?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You do?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I'm looking at the question the listener questions.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You Chord listen. This is an interesting question, a good question. Actually,
it depends on what day you ask me. Yeah, there
are some days that I love Chanford. There are other
days that I you know that it's hard.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, I think the truth is you fully support the
show and the characters I think what's hard is that
there have been many times where fans blur the lines
of what is television and what is real life. And
I think what people don't all see or know is
that often Roslin gets tagged on random posts about the
(06:12):
relationship on the show, and for any partner that can
be a very uncomfortable thing to sort of have to
see all the time in the context in which it's
created online. And so I think Roz has been an
incredible supporter of the show and of our characters one percent.
But I think and I'm not a supporter of this either.
We both aren't supporters of fans blurring the lines between
(06:35):
reality and television.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Listen, there are three things to be completely transparent. Okay,
since you're asking, I'm going to answer. There are three things.
Number One, thank God that I am a very very
secure human being, because I think any of the girl
would have lost her bananas based on the constant I'm
(06:58):
constantly bombarded with tags, and you know, like it's every
single day, and I'm heavy and the social media, I
don't know if it's on Twitter, and I don't go
to just following and it just goes to everybody. It
says for you. I see everything, and I read everything,
and my name is always included, which is always It's
a tricky, but thank God that I've been the I
(07:20):
have the blessing that I'm very secure, so very little
things bother me. Number two and this is the truth.
Thank God that I happen to like Melissa a lot.
I think she is a wonderful girl. I think she
is nothing but sweet and kind and loving and loves
on me all the time, you know. So I have
somebody that energetically has never given me a reason to
(07:43):
be like, eh, I don't know if I like this.
You know, she's always been incredibly nice, So that makes
things easier. If I would have felt, oh, I don't
trust this girl, this cheek is a little old, you know,
like something like that, then it would have been severely
uncomfortable to know that for seven years, my husband is
on a storyline with a storyline that is highly effective,
and that I don't like the girl.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
And by the way, that that's across the board. Just
people know in our business that's very common.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Like if somebody percent of the time, it's very uncomfortable
because you just don't trust or you or you don't
really care for the other person, but they make it
tricky for you.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And we've had it both ways, Like I've had it
where I'm not super comfortable with.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I had I had an incident with a specific show
and this is a person that you are that that
was your friend and you were incredibly uncomfortable and I
have to reassure you for a long time, don't worry
about it. And he didn't want to have it at all.
It was really bad, and I didn't want to do
that to Eric because he knows how much I know
how much he loves the rookie I know how much
(08:46):
he loves his rookie family. And kudos to them to
creating a storyline that has been so incredibly effective worldwide.
You know, it's like really impressive. So as an actress
to a fellow actress an actor, I just go, Wow,
that's amazing, because that's very difficult to do. So because
of that, I'm because she's super cool, because I'm very
(09:08):
secure and number three, to be honest, ninety nine percent
of the comments from the fandom of Chanford are very
supportive towards me, you know, like I receive a lot
of love from the majority of you, guys, and it.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Well, a lot of the Jenfer fans have totally fallen
in love with you and support you and all your
ventures and things that you're doing. Some of them have
rescued dogs from us, which is exactly right.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
So I feel like, even though I'm not part of
the show, I feel very much a part of the
show because the embrace has been unbelievable and you guys
make it much easier for me to love Chanford as well.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Thank you everybody. Yes, I think all right? Next question?
Is Eric a bad driver? Come on, at I'm going
to say that. The first question was at Elina and
you say the word. Second one is at Zeba at
simb just giving the tag? Now is Eric a bad driver?
I'm a great driver.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
He's a terrible driver.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Great driver, Eric, I'm so good, guys. I know's car
and we talked about that and.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
My car also gone and I'm a great driver, guys.
Is not what may you go into acting? Hashtag? Leon?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Me?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I think.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I'm sorry, at Leon, what made you go into acting
to me?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Guys? I've Roslin was pushed out the womb saying here
showtime that I'm person in Centsus and I'm minded act
for sure. Was the like mom performer, that was performer
(10:55):
right out the womb. That was her still to this day.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And wow, I'm actually much.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
She's toned down mellow right now. I was total opposite.
I was an athlete my whole life, pre med student
at U c l A. I got wrapped up in
this in a very weird way. It took a drama
class in college, started dating a girl that was like,
you need to model, and got me introduced to some
agent and it just kind of snowball from there. I
enjoyed it and just decided to dig in and start studying.
(11:25):
I have totally different path than Roslynd.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Okay at Jimma, what cologne is Eric's favorite?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I think it's the.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
One that is called Molecule.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yep, that's what I use every day pretty much.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Molecule is really good at Gods. Does Ross have a
favorite moment on The Rookie?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
She doesn't watch the show.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I don't watch the show, but my favorite moment is
My favorite moment is Vi Castillo when she showed up
to stir things up my episode. I thought it was
very cute, was it?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It was good?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
It was good othough Eric showed me this. He was
so mad at.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Migul's I don't even act like you care about that.
That was a joke. We never she never watches the show.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Eric, that he was very proud of and you didn't care.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And he was a favorite moment because you didn't care.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh my god, I care. It was I was very
impressed by him. I just thought it was very unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Was the joke they went down, guys, when a hammer,
everybody knows the Hammer giant. That was the joke of
the whole thing. But Bradford's a badass, so it made
what happened.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
His name is the hammer, the guy that you you
were fighting.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He's a giant dude.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That was like the whole And I learned that he's
actually a real stunt man.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, he's a real stunt man. He's uh. He was
fantastic in the role. Yeah, in real life he'd kill me,
But that was the joke behind it all. He'd kill Eric.
Bradford's a badass. Eric maybe at times don't so anyways,
what else, at least any tips for going on vacation
(12:54):
with young kids, great one, bring some help depends what
kind of vacation you're going on. I like to say,
when you go on vacation with kids, it's actually just
called a trip. It's not really vacation. You have vacation,
it's going somewhere. That's it. I wouldn't say it's relaxing.
I mean, if you can bring any help then if
you want to have like a parent getaway, or if
they have a good kids club, I guess. But we,
(13:16):
you know, we've just found ways to just kind of
embrace those big vacations, make it about the kids, make
them have the best time possible. We've obviously had plenty
of vacations before kids, so we embrace it. We're in
a discussion about one now because I want to go.
We want to go back to a place that we
absolutely love, the kids love. Rosin wants to change it
up to you, it's about the kids.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I want to try something new.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
They both just so you know, are like, can we
go back please? I love that place? Oh my god,
that was my favorite. Okay, we'll probably have to go back.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Look at this Atkira from Austria, are you say Austria
is your rum going to be available in your road.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Not out the gate? Everybody our rum up. I will
keep you very updated, not internationally, but our rum when
we launch, and it will be all on our handles.
Remember it's at Palm Republic Rum either on Instagram, Twitter
or x I should say TikTok and Facebook. We'll keep
updating everybody. When we launch, looking somewhere around May mid May.
(14:15):
Pre orders will start probably end of April. We will
be sold direct to consumer off our website in forty
three states, and we will be in market like on premise.
Off premise they call it at select hotels and liquor
stores and bars in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina and
some select spots in California. Just out the gate.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Out the gate.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
That's when we start.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Very cool.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Okay, Europe, We're coming for you.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh my god. Kaylin Willis ask when it comes to
messing around with the kids, who ends up being the
party pooper?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Well, that's Roz, one hundred percent messing over the kid.
I'm one always mess out of the kid. No, just
just this morning, I came in the bedroom with us.
He wanted to sleep with us, so he did for
the morning, and then we woke up and had a
massive pillow fight, and the one that was the party
pooper was because it hurt.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
He threw him on top of me.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Guy, I know he threw himself.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, it was seven in the morning. I just wanted
to sleep a little more because we don't get to
sleep in and they decided to get into a full
wrestling pillow fight at that time, when I was like,
is this necessary?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I don't know what it is. They love to wrestle.
They want to fight me all the time. It's really rough.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
It always worries on her, who's obsessed because you think
she's a boy. Eric has this thing that Sabella is
like his little boy is like, Sabella is so rough,
and you taught her to be this rough.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I mean since she was little. It's true, Like I
didn't we didn't know we were having a second kid,
and I didn't know I was going to have a boy.
And Sabella is a girl that can do very girly
things and also can be a tomboy, which I love.
She can mix it up and she loves to fight,
she loves sports.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
She loves stand it.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
There we go answer your question.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Party pooper okay.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
From Serbia Sandra at sandram I hope we're saying that right.
Advice forgetting kids into sports, Oh, we're probably the last
people you want to talk to about that. We are
a sports mess in our household. Our advice would be
if I could go back a little bit and set
myself up patients support just pure love. Introduce them to
(16:19):
as many sports as possible. Try to, you know, if
one sticks great, lift them up, especially early on. Let
them keep trying it and proving again. If they switch
and say I want to try something else, go back
to something else. Let them be versatile athletes, trying everything,
and don't put too much pressure or expect too much.
We've made so many mistakes, especially when it comes to tennis.
(16:40):
I think with Dylan we're doing much better. He plays soccer.
We introduced him to basketball, we introduced him to you know,
bits and pieces of baseball, and he loves soccer, so
he's not obsessed with it. So we're patient. But with Sabby,
I think we got a little bit pushy early on.
We're backing off now we're much better.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, at s any advice for single people, Should I
be outdating or at home working on myself and the
right person will come along.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You're gonna get two answers roight here, Oh you said
a little bit of both both.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I think it's good for you to stay home and
work on yourself because I think you have to make
yourself happy first before you can offer anything to anybody else.
Be in love with you, respect you, before you pretend
that the universe is going to just give you the
right person. But you have to actually go out a
little bit, because what it's it's not worth doing all
(17:30):
the work if nobody gets to meet you.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, I mean you're I think you're and you can
implement it. I think you're spot on with that for sure.
And what you're saying, I'm surprised we fully agree on this.
But I listen, I'm all about the numbers game. I
would just get out there.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's disgusting. What do you mean the numbers game?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Roll the dicency? How many people you can meet?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Are you joking?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
See how many people you can meet? I mean in
a good way, Like, just be out there, mix it up,
meet me.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I wonder if you're gonna be like Maurici Umanski.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
That's what I have to do. What one daddy with
the stars and run very successful real.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
After twenty seven years an incredible marriage and four beautiful girls,
and now they decide that he wants to continue his way,
going to going to.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Go date women that want to explore a bit more fluid.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Is that going to happen to you?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That happen to you?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I don't think this is where she wanted at all.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I think.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I think his ways. She got tired. She want to
be home. She wanted to just bember Well. The void,
the lack of attention from the husband made her see.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
You turning on me and going for a woman?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Are you joking?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Caroline Rogers from Dublin, Wow, what made you start the podcast?
I jumped down to the next one from Dublin, Okay,
to Dublin. What may I start the podcast? You know,
we we had been approached funny Enough by a network
here to possibly do some sort of a scripted show
based on our lives in a way that was scripted
(19:09):
not about Eric and Roslind, but inspired by our journey
and who we are, cultural differences and very different people
in general. And we were in the process of developing
that sitcom and then I got the rookie funny Enough
and she got Grand Hotel and everything kind of that
went away. For now, and it rolled into a relationship
with one of the producers we had with iHeart and
(19:29):
we talked about doing it as a podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yep, and it's been a lot of fun. Okay at
Lily May Todd, mat Todd. I don't know, how do
you choose your kids' names? And if you could go
anywhere in the world for free, where would it be? Okay, Sabella.
We went to a vineyard in Napa, California, and there
was a bottle that called Sabella and it was a
combination between Sebastian and Isabella. The owner of the vineyard
(19:52):
combined both names Isabella Sebastian into Sabella. We loved it,
and we said if we ever have a daughter, one
day it was is in between Emilie or Sabella. But
when I delivered, when we see her, we're gonna know.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
What the name is going to be. Any thing about
meanings of names. And I remember being at work and
I texted you and I said, just so you know,
I researched both names and Amelia meant hard worker and
Sabella meant God's Promise. And I was like, come on,
I mean, either she's a hard worker or she's God's
promise God, God's promise. Yes, son against Amelia, by the way,
(20:26):
but that was just between the two.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
And then Dylan was I was in the under the
influence of Narco the pain killers when I just delivered him.
So I was in my at the hospital and I.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Didn't know Dylan had name for at least And then
I went to a.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Book when they were doing his circumcision, he was Eric
was waiting for him, and then he was reading a
book of names that they provided the hospital. And then
he called me saying, listen, listen, what about Dylan because
it remans this and this and that. I was a
little groggy.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I was dizzy.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I don't know what I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Was always. I gave her a whole pitch about Dylan's
the god of the ocean and water or something like that.
I forgot the whole thing. I was like, you're from
Puerto Rico, I grew up in La I had a
whole pitch together. She still wasn't buying it. She said
if Gabrielle was the middle name, she'd consider it. And
then I said, we said, the only way we would
decide is rock paper scissors, And it was best two
out of three and.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I don't remember that.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, we rock paper scissors for Dylan.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Do you see that's how drug I was rock papers.
That's how you got it, and that's how you won. OK,
but I love it now. It's a beautiful name.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Let's see. We probably have time for one more. Have
either of you ever suffered from mental health? That's a
good question.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I do know what one second and the free place
I would like to go to Dubai. Oh, yes, Dubai.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
I've ben at Dubai briefly, but I would love to.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Give you a perforate vacation, change my mind. Japan.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I did the USO tour I wanted to buy briefly.
I lived on the base and I didn't get to
really sight see in Japan. Well, also Japan. Those are
two and so far in Africa, so many? All right,
Do either of us ever suffer from mental health? I
would say that's a great question. Heavy. I would say,
not diagnosed in any way, but we both, uh, you know,
have moments that we deal with, whether it's a version
(22:06):
of depression or a version of stress. And Roselin definitely
definitely suffers from a bit of anxiety at times. What
you do you get in clutrophobia and anxiety and situations
on airplanes and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Is that a mental health issue?
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, oh yeah, you deal with some things for sure.
We've been open about that.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah, that hope that answers your question. Let's do one more.
I'm married for thirty one years. This is at Mike Rizzy.
I have married thirty one years, and I was wondering
how you keep your the spark in your marriage? Mike.
It's a great question. How do we keep this the
spark in our marriage?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
You answer?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I think it just again takes work, creativity, fun, attention
to detail, taking the extra time with each other, you know,
being there for each other things are difficult, and also
you know with intimacy, and I think it's just being
present as much as possible. It takes work for sure.
(23:08):
After you've been married for especially you thirty one years,
that's much longer than us. So you know, it's about
continuing to raise the bar and evolve with your creativity.
I think, yes, that's my best advice.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Beautiful, Well that's one last one, last one. Look at
this one at Tim Bradford Defender. Is it hard to
decide on what to share because the media can pick
it up and run away with it. Yes, Eric is
much more mindful as you can tell. And if you've
been listening to the podcast since a very very beginning
two years ago, I am more open and comfortable. I'll
(23:43):
just say whatever comes out of my mouth. I don't
I don't really have too much of a filter, which
is Eric is very mindful about everything, and he's always
thinking about Budda. But so one's always listening. And what
about if they take it wrong and don't don't say
that raw? So oh yeah, Eric is always filtering. What
should we say is accurate? I wish it would just
be more carefree and more open.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Don't don't say something wrong. We're about to wrap it up,
all right, Well, answer more questions on the next episode.
Until next time. Bye, I love you, Thanks for listening.
