debunking myths, Hyundai is thinking of every mile unday, it's
your journey. Okay this Why would Adelita take a hiatus

(01:48):
at the height of her career? What is she not
telling us? One tweet just says in caps asta la vista, baby, baby.
If you don't want to be upset by the tweets,
stop reading them. There are so many. Yeah, that's what
trending means. Hello, no questions. She goes through her manager passage.

(02:25):
I guess my mother is still not answering her phone.
I know she was upset about your talk last night,
but she's taken this too far? So how do I
make it? Stop? It? Don't It'll die out on its own.
I'm trying her again. Hi, this is pass Please leave

(02:46):
a message. Mom. I know you're upset, but not picking
up the phone is just going to make things worse.
Call me. Maybe I should talk to articles about putting
out a statement or something saying what that you miss book?
When you didn't? What's that going to solve? Ye? Who

(03:07):
We're gonna have to change our numbers, babe, Just don't
answer it. Gosh, this is a nightmare. I'm sending out
a tweet. No no, no, no, no no, no. I don't
think that's a good idea. Well I have to do something. Okay,
how about this? How about this? Sometimes silence is what
the noise requires, and send Oh oh you know what

(03:32):
I was thinking. The Grammy nominations are about to be announced.
If the album gets nominated, that might stop the chatter. Maybe,
But that's a strange reason to want a nomination. I
should have just kept my mouth shut. I'm tired of this.
I'm turning up the cell phone. I'm going in the height.

(03:52):
You want to come in this heat? No? I mean yes,
thank you, honey, thank you. But you know what I'm
gonna do. Show up at my mother's house. Then she
can't ignore me. Have fun. I lose my Mennia, believe

(04:26):
that passa Pasah. I missed you so much. I can't
win any how are you doing? Lose and my mom?
What can they say? I lose my I have hope.
One day, Mom and I will finally learn to communicate.

(04:46):
I will let her know you're here lost lost Cafe Sportifa.
So you're not picking up my calls anymore, just giving

(05:09):
you a taste of your own medicine. Nice. Well, you
drop a bomb an awards show and then you want
me to just sweep in and clean it up for
you when algoma cookie or pastelo. Okay, so let me

(05:35):
first apologize about the announcement. It wasn't fair to you, No,
it wasn't. But there was a specific reason why I
want to take time off. I'm listening. I want to
attempt to cross over career and I need the time
to figure out what that would look like and what
it will entail. Velita, Mom, just hear me out, Okay,

(05:58):
I know what they hid. No music means to you,
It means a lot to me too. It has given
me an amazing career. But I've accomplished all that I
wanted to do as at the Handle Artist, so I
want to see what else I can do. You know
how I can expand the reach of Latin music by

(06:18):
modernizing old styles and giving them my own spin. At thirty,
it's now or never, Alita. Do you have any idea
how many artists have attempted to do just that and failed?
Most of them? I'm sure, but that's no reason not
to try. But illegally binding contract is I can still

(06:43):
record two albums for I AG just not they han
no albums. Marcos has lots of labels besides Okarina, but
you're signed as at the Handle artist and the Handle
music is what he expects. Mom, Please stop this nonsense.

(07:03):
Why is it nonsense? Why are you so sure that
this won't work out? I'm not saying it won't, I'm
saying it is way too risky for you to gamble
away a successful career. I wish you had a little
more faith in me. Why can't you see that? I
just don't want you to get hurt? And where is

(07:26):
this all even coming from? Anyway? I thought you were
happy with your career. That's not quite accurate, Mama. I
just never said anything, and that's my fault. Well, you're
not the easiest person to open up to, but I'm
trying to be honest with you now and tell you
how I've been feeling for a while. But this is

(07:47):
all new information to me, and this decision could have
serious consequences, not just for you, but for the label
and your endorsements too. Their products are directly impacted by
what you do and their concern Okay, I get that,
but why do you always care more about the business
than about me. You're my mom, not just my manager.

(08:10):
That's not fair. You have no idea how hard it
is to balance the two. I may not always get
it right, especially the mom part, but I've always acted
in your best interest. Mom. Forcing me to do two
albums that I don't want to do is not in
anyone's best interest, trust me, So maybe you want to

(08:33):
think about that. I'm gonna go, but please start answering
your phone again. I will. Oh, by the way, I
put the jacket you left in the green room in
your old bedroom in case you want to grab it
before you go. Okay, thanks, Hi and Wilma Rama as

(12:13):
How do you think? I want to show you something?
What is it? Your old journals? You're kidding? Oh? I
remember you gave me my first journal. But do you remember?

(12:36):
Why was it a birthday gift? No? Miha, I gave
it to you because even back then, you and your
mom had a hard time communicating, especially about your feelings.
So I told you to write them down that it
might help, right right, I remember? Now, look, this one

(12:58):
still has some blank page. You see? Why don't you
think it? Oh? Are you good? Eyes? He has a
mos mos? Hey? How'd it go? Why can't she ever

(13:32):
just be my mom? I ain't no, no, no, my god,
I see him though? Where yo yo yo? It's that time?

(14:02):
Y'all The Grammys are coming up, and with that comes
a night with some of your favorite artists performing live.
Whoop whoop MANI who would you like to see perform?
Wisdom and Zoya? Of course they're duet. No Strings was
the best song of the year. What about you? Saying? Saying,
but I wouldn't mind seeing BTS perform too? Oh, come on,

(14:26):
come on? What I can't like the soulful sounds of
a Korean boy band? All right, Well, we better go
to the news before people start changing the dial. We've
got several artists and bands that could be nominated this
year in the Best Regional Mexican Music Album category, but

(14:46):
I think the front runners are my personal favorites Adelita
Pass and newcomer Santiago Garcia. No on the bed, on
the floor, I who cares? We just got two Grammy nominations,
that my first as a producer. What I'm so proud

(15:09):
of you, and I'm proud of you. And look, I
know we've had a very few stressful days and there's
still a lot to figure out, Like this is something
to celebrate. Oh my god, can you believe it? I
started my behindo career with my first album being nominated
for a Grammy ending that career with two nominations seems

(15:30):
kind of perfect. Doesn't it like like a sign that
that it's time to move on? Oh okay, don't get
ahead of yourself. Come on, a girl can dream. This
cost you again? Yo, yo yo. Welcome back to Trip Radio,

(16:01):
where we break the hottest hip hop news. And today's
breaking news is a real shocker. Wouldn't you say, A
money god say it's the biggest news of he is
the King and Queen of hip hop. Wisdom and Zoya
announced they've broken up rights and sources close to the
couple tells us that it's because Zoya decided no strings.

(16:23):
I mean she could dip her toes in other men's
infinity pools. You know what I'm saying. Oh damn. It's
usually the men that's the roman stone, but not this time.
Was Zoya out. Looks like Wisdom will have to take
the Grammy stage alone. Hey, did Wisdom say anything to

(16:46):
you about the split when you call to congratulate him? No,
it must have just happened. Okay. I know I shouldn't
say this because you three go way back, but I'm
kind of glad she's out of the picture. You never
really elected, did you. I don't like women who demean
their man. Remember our last dinner with them? Remember she

(17:07):
kept making fun of his outfit. She said he was
the only hip hop artist that she'd ever known who
refused to wear designer brands. I mean, is she such
a diva that she doesn't even see that that's just
one of the many things she should have loved about him. Yeah,
and she wasn't always like that. You keep saying that
she was pretty cool when she and I were just

(17:28):
doing studio gigs to make ends meet. I wonder what
he'll do about the Grammys. The duet was supposed to
close out the night. He wouldn't just cancel, would he? Na,
But he'll have to find a replacement quick. What if
I stepped in? You may perform with him at the Grammys?
Would he be open to it? Maybe? I mean the

(17:50):
song would have to be rearranged to fit your voice.
You know, it could be a new version of No
Strings with the hip hop and Latin's rhythms combined. The
Grammys love it when artists rearranged songs just for the show.
You could produce it? Yeah? Good? But what about your mom? Oh?
We can definitely can't tell her or Michaels. We'd have

(18:12):
to keep it a secret after what just happened. Look,
if this track is as dope as I think you
can make it and Wisdom and I kill it at
the Grammys, I think Machaos will let us do whatever
we want with my next two albums. Oh gosh, this
could this performance could be the way I launched my

(18:34):
crossover career. Okay, let's put aside the fact that, if
you're right about all this, we're not taking a break
anytime soon. Rodrigo. We can't take a break anyway if
I have to do an album a year for the
next two years, so we might as well do two
albums that I actually want to make. So we put
our marriage and our personal lives on hold again. No,

(18:59):
my love, m hmm, we learned to balance our careers
and live our lives better, all right, I'm gonna hold
you to that. But the original point I was trying
to make, if you don't tell your mom, this will
only make things so much worse between you. It's a
risk I'm willing to take. You know, what is the
