Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hi guys, welcome to another episode of I And with Me.
Is Marisol that's back in town. She's yeah, yeah, yeah.
I almost didn't come back because I was really feeling Japanese.
Yeah right, I was. I was. I really loved it there,
so tell me more about it. That's one place I
(00:28):
have on my bucket list. I would actually love to
go with my kids because my kids have always been
obsessed with Japan. Really, I feel like a lot of
kids are would want to visit there. Oh wow. I've
been fascinated with the culture in the city.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I know your kids are well traveled and they've been
all over Europe, and but Japan is so different.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's just such a it's not a culture shock. It's
just so incredible, so vague.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's so dance there's so much any buildings everywhere, just
so dense.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
But then you don't see cars on the road, you
don't see people. It's like, oh, I'm like yeah, and
it's so clean. I'm like, where is everybody? Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I went to so many I was in Tokyo, Nagasaki, Kobe, Kyoto, Hiroshima.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Then I went to South Korea. I can't remember all
the place I went to a lot of places, And
which was your favorite? In any I love to.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I love Tokyo. I loved Kyokyo's what I've read. South
Korea was amazing. Once a friendly called Jiju, and there
was this place we went to I don't remember the
name of it, and it had this big, enormous golden
Buddha that was like seven hundred feet high, and then
(01:50):
behind it was thousands of miniature stone Buddhas carved out
behind it was the energy was so intense.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You think I got oh my god, were charged?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Of course August is the hottest month. It's worse than Miami.
It's a different kind of hate and humidity that you
can't almost can't even break. So it's not a good
time to go. Well August. You know me, I'm super flora.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So of course I was like feeling like I was
gonna faint at any minute.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So do you eat? Tell me about the food. You know,
food is very important to me. Yeah, okay, Well the
food is phenomenal. It's so clean, so fresh. You know,
I'm what did you eat? Seafood? Fish, I ate a
lot of seaweed so good. Yeah, but they make it
really cool. I wonder you feel like you were going. No,
(02:38):
I can live on seaweed. No no, but that's not
the only thing I ate. I had a lot of
good beans and things like that. I ate yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well no, no, no, no, well I ate more and tofu.
I ate more on the ship than I did on land. Yeah,
and then so I landed. I have like mi so and.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Tofu and lots of cocktails. Do they drink us munto
a so the Americans do? Or let me tell yourself.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So when we got there, we stayed Amanda and Oriental
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Like, hey, can I get a screwdriver?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Of course they don't even know what that means. I'm like,
how about a vodka? They didn't understand me. See how
they type it into his phone and show them and
they're like, oh yeah, And they looked at me weird,
like why do you want that? I'm like, because because
I do that whttle orange juice to So we stay
at the Mandar. In a few days, we leave, we
get on our celebrity cruise.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It was amazing. We come back. We stay at the Manda.
Do you recommend like see you know, like on the ship.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I prefer traveling on a ship because it's just so easy.
Every day you go to bed the cruise at night,
you wake up, you're in a new place. You don't
have to unpack, you get down, you go see everything,
you come back or your food is there, or you
eat off.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
The ship whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's just so so so easy. You can get blow
drives on the ship. You know this.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, good stuff. Yeah, well, what's hot out there? Come
back to me watching?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, like hard work, especially if you have a wig
like me. Stop you know home well you know what
I mean, wiggish okay, like a little bit of a
two fact.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
By the way, do they have the I don't know
anyone touch anybody's there. I don't know. It's it's fascinated
with like when you go through a different country and
different continent, you know, with besides their culture and the
history of the place, but the people. Yeah, you know,
I feel like the people, the food, you know, the
way they live their lives. They're right healthy. I mean,
(04:39):
their diet.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I didn't really like examine them, had to tell but
I'll tell you that I didn't see any fake boops.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I didn't see any over inflated on your lips, and
I don't think anybody had like a pair extensions of faith.
But that's what I meant when you go to Europe
and so refreshing because you don't see as much as
you do. Yeah, you know in America, and in America,
in certain cities like Miami, La, are the ones that
(05:06):
are like only invested, heavily invested. I mean, did you
see whether a lot of tourists from other countries, from
other places visiting, I mean not like in the cities
like everywhere I visited.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
No, the only tourists I saw were the people that
were you know that I could see that we're in
the tourist trap type of areas.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
We tried to stay away from there.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
We mostly went to some like amazing temples, fish markets,
and then we tried to find like the top Michelin
star restaurants, have a good Japanese experience, and then we'd
come back to the ship. But yeah, beautiful, it was
great to do it again. Oh it's beautiful. I mean,
we all do the same thing every year anyway, don't
(05:50):
we all go back to Italy and friends and you know, Spain.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Or really but that's really not a destination that I
feel like a lot of people would go back to. Interesting. Yeah,
and the idea it's kind of like a once in
a lifetime experience. I would like to. I've never been,
but when I go, yeah, I'll probably just feel like
a one time you. I bet you you want to
go back. It's so clean and everyone's so polite, and
it's just so speaking language.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
But I'm just the way that they know they spoke English,
of course, and they're.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Just they bow and they you know. Then I started
bowing Steve, like the bowie thing. That's why you like
everybody who like bowing. But when you don't know what
to say, just bow?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, yeah, should I do that on the show when
I'm at a loss for words at that or happens
to start bowing?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, everyone's going to follow you right along, awaiter. What's
wrong with Alexia parasol? Why are they are they fighting back?
Why it's bowing off the side. But it sounds like
a lot of fun. I highly recommend going to Japan everybody. Yeah,
I want to go to Singapore though, And there's a
lot of places visits.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Oh yeah, it's a whole other Ballow acts. But yeah,
I would definitely go back and investigate more because there's
a lot to see. Yeah, it's rich in history for sure.
So what's been happening while I've been away?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Mm hmmm, A lot's been happening. Yeah, what are you
been up to? Working out? I can tell you look
really good. You know, I'm getting ready for a bench put. No,
I actually haven't done the rhythnge body yet. What are
you talking about? What are you going to do? That's
what work? Could you do? Oh? I haven't done anything.
All I'm doing is I know, first time? Because yeah,
(07:36):
you can't eat right? Yeah? No, I mean yeah, that
was the beginning. I'm good now. Oh you're eating? Oh
you are? Yeah? Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
If you all don't know it, I'm gonna let you know.
Alexia is a childhound.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
She loves too, but I also like to look good,
so you know, everything it's about balance. But the walking
and the like. Where I'm living, I get to walk
a lot, so I love that people. Walking really does
help me keep my weak Yeah yeah, yeah, so just
walking in the afternoons, you know, when I'm anxious to
just go for a nice walk in venitions and the gym.
(08:10):
But don't know, noll put a revenge body to what
are you talking about? I feel like you have a
revenge body right now. It's scaring me. I'm stealing the revenge,
you know. I just you know, I just feel good.
And I think it's it's like part of my like
everyday life. But I'm making it so like you feel good.
I feel like if I feel good in the outside,
I feel good in the inside. I feel like compliments
(08:32):
each other.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You're getting back to you, You're century yourself, You're heeling
yourself and walking and probably talking to yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, I talk to myself. I always wondered every time
I see people that walk so much off like company,
these people just walk and walk. Now I find like
one of those people that I just walk and walk.
Oh wow, Yeah, I know it does help. Yeah, I
think it helps me a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I was doing a lot of steps on the ship.
I was trying to hit ten thousand a day. Of course,
not I'm bout home. I don't hit three hundred a day.
Feet in and back, and I was like, this is
great now, moment of like.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Forget it, no, but you can still do the same
thing here. I know, it's so hot out there. At
least in the boat was a c I was doing
it on the inside. Exercises exercise absolutely yeah, no, but here,
you know, just like the same thing. I've just been like,
stay busy and you know, just getting ready for for
(09:27):
the fall. Mm hmm, No, you mean to get back up?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
No, you're not. It's not the fall. I get to
double on tundra. It's a joke. Remember mind, let's let's
you didn't get it. You're not falling, but it's the fall.
Oh I didn't have Just getting ready for the season
like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for our season. Absolutely, I'm ready.
Are you seasoned? OUs?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
This on on?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah? I gets a hollary season. I'm seeing all these
pictures of Brad Pitton's new girlfriend. Oh how do you
feel about that? Oh? I mean she looks super hot
(10:16):
for his age. He's always been a beautiful man, that's
the truth. Yeah, And and you know he's hot. He's
gone through good stages and bad stages, but it's always hot.
But he's always been a beautiful man. It is what
it is. And I just love the way that he's
a man. So everybody says, you know, his wrinkles look good,
he's aged so perfectly, his gray hair, and like everybody's like,
(10:40):
oh my god, he's irresistible. He's so hot. Like that
happens to us. I'm worth sixty years old. Yeah, and
they'll be like, look at her, you know, she die
and look at her wrinkles, and she needs this. I've
never heard of anybody reforming to like a sixty year
old woman, like she's so beautiful, she's so hot, she's
so irresistible, tell me more and tell me flakam. She
(11:03):
looked good when she did, Like she's already like way older,
she's sixty two or something like that. You know, a woman,
you know, we can't compare our physique to a man.
You know, the women tend to get you know, flabby er,
her skin is different and whatnot. But I'm just saying
it's soul double standards that I can't deal with it.
It's true, it's true. But by the way, he's sixty.
His girlfriend's thirty four. Ohanola from Spain. Oh oh she's
(11:27):
from Spain. Yes, okay, he probably lives like Angela, but
she's a regular girl. She's not beautiful. Angelina Jolie is beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I mean, but there's very few women on the planet
that are Angelina Joliet.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Like. It doesn't matter who he's going to be, it's
never gonna be endy. The only thing is that she's young.
She's younger, she's scented. You know how many girls I've
got Miami look like that. She's like your typical girl
here in Miami or from from a Latin family. She's
brown hair, brown eyes. I don't think she has anything beautiful.
I don't know her inside, you know, because for me,
beauty when I I mean evaluating or whatever a person
(12:04):
as far as their beauty goes, I count their personality
a lot. With their intelligence, we don't, you know what,
like some people just have like a star and a shine.
She has a nice smile, you know she does. But
you know what, I'm not oppressed. Okay, you know I'm
not impressed. Well, he's young, she's thirty four years old. Back,
(12:24):
we love Brad.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
What a protective of him because he's our natural treasure.
And you know when he looked with Angelina, it was like,
oh my god, those two are like the hottest sleep
on the planet.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, I don't think that's ever going to happen again.
It's just not that was a one time. But I
think people like that because they just like focus on that.
And it's true, you love to see a beautiful couple
because a lot of times you see like a super
like beautiful girl and she's like with a not attractive man,
and then sometimes you see a really hot guy with
like a normal or ugly girl. So yeah, I think
people get excited when they see, you know, two people
(12:55):
that are good looking and hot and you're right, that's
probably not going to have it again, like Bradley Cooper,
and that's pretty hard. It's cute, but again, she's so young,
she's pretty, they're you know, then say she is a
pretty girl versus this one. This one's not. Maybe she's
just like a common regular girl. But yeah, so anyways,
(13:17):
I really enjoyed. Did you read the article on Angelina Julie. Yes,
so she doesn't need more friends. Angelina Julie shares perspective
on relationships after being betrayed a lot. I feel that
Angelina jale is content with her inner circle well, relating
that she didn't have too many close friends. The star
reflected on why she prefers to keep it that way.
(13:40):
I don't really have those kinds of friendships. Maybe it's
losing your parents at a young age, or maybe it's working,
maybe it's being somebody who's been betrayed a lot. I
don't have a lot of those warm, close relationships as
much that I can lean on. But I have a few,
and a few is enough. Her Cambodian American human rights activists,
who is the object of first they killed my father?
(14:02):
Her name is to say that Lan Lan. So that's
one of Angelina's close friends. She was very close to
her mom and she lost her. She's had a few
friends over the years not being there for her family
and the artwork need. And she says she has a
couple of friends that she can trust, right right. But
I think in that case, it's a lot of people
(14:23):
that are in that situation. Yeah, like us. No, I
have no my friends or my family. I will talk
about that now because honestly, I am blessed, beyond blessed
that have so many great friends and that are like
my family especially. That is true. Also when the Hollywood
Reporter article, the reporter asked, may I ask with the
(14:43):
status of your divorces, and she replied, no, thank you, Angelina.
What are the people have to as it's like so
honly with the reporters they have to ask the hard
question like ten years later. And by the way, I
can't believe they're not wor no, there's divorced.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah. And by the way, he's a terrible dabt. But
we'll get into that. Meanwhile, her ex bride Pitch just
made his bread carpet jmut with Inesechemon at the Venice
Film Festival. He attended with George Clooney and his wife
from all So, there's a lot of information here that
we need to unwrap. We got to dissect this, okay.
So first of all, after I read this article, I
(15:24):
have a different perspective on Angelina. I didn't know because
you know, I knew I kind of like the younger
Angelina before, yes, and now this is the Angelina who
basically put her career on hold to raise her children
and raise her family, and nobody even really spoke about her.
(15:46):
And you know, it's very few times I feel like
they write a story like this about her where they're
really highlighting her as a mother and how she put
her career on hold, you know, to raise her family
because it's what she needed to do and it's what
was important to her children, you know. And her children
have turned out to be like really nice young men
(16:06):
and women. She's super close to them. She's saying that
she's only staying in Los Angeles and has been in
Los Angeles because because of Brad. They don't want to
see Brad Pitt, and Brad Pitt has no communication with them,
but he's making them stay in Los Angeles. Well, I mean,
he's the father. He needs to see that. No, No,
father is not only anybody that's like, okay, the biological
(16:27):
father or whatever. He doesn't see them. They changed their
last name, don't even have nothing to do one of
them change their last name.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
But let me ask you the biologically right, But let
me ask you a question. What exactly did he do
that was so horrible? I'm not clear the article didn't
talk about this.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
This is what I'm saying is that we've heard like
bits and pieces right when they were going through the separation, right,
I heard there were rumors of change. No she oh no, oh,
I thought that's what it wasn't. I mean, what I
had read was that. I guess they were on a
plane and he got a little too sauce and then
he got violent. Okay, and just one incident. Nobody is
(17:04):
filing for the works. Where have to be more deperisious there.
But that wasn't the cause of the divorce. So there
had to have been a history, of course, because I mean,
nobody's gonna have like one episode, you know, on the
plane or wherever, and you're gonna file for the works.
I mean them lit me. That's a little bit too much,
I know, but obvious the more there.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So let me ask you back when they first got together,
did you feel like, oh, boy, that's never gonna last
because she's crazy and she's gonna dump it.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Back in the day, because I know that crossed my
mind very heavily. I never thought that. I really thought
they were in love, you know, and that they had
a lot of similarities, you know, and you know, sometimes
you can be like that crazy wal time where you
meet the right guy or the guy that you fought
madly in love with, but she didn't. I think they
both were madly loved with each other. I didn't know
(17:55):
where it went wrong. There's been two times in my
life where I've looked at a couple, it gets to
you and I said, oh boy, she's going to do
a number on him, and she's going to dump them.
And it was Angeline and Jolie at Mega Marco. That's
the way. But Angelina didn't dump. Know, I thought like
she was. Are always the ones that, you know, the
(18:17):
fall for the worce. Usually they're the ones that the
fault for divorce.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I don't know, I knew that eventually this was gonna
happen because she's I don't know, I think she's.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Kind of outpha. But you know, I'm glad that she's
not talking about Brad Pitt anymore, because you know, there's
women that ten years later are still talking about them.
As a matter of fact, they asked her about their
divorce and she's like, no, no, this is between them two.
Nobody cares at this point. I like that. But she's
already dragged, already dragged. Dump But this this is what
I'm talking about. Oh yeah, she's she deserved to be dragged,
(18:50):
So good for you, Angelina. And just the fact that
the daughter wanted to change her last name, that was
another drag recently, of course, And and she paid for
she hired her attorney. The daughter paid for it herself,
so it was not like encouraged by the mom or
financed by the mom. It was something that she on
her own wanted to do. I read I think I
read correctly.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
If I'm wrong, maybe you read it too that she
hired her daughter Vivian to work on the film with
her her new project, and then Vivian didn't want the
last thing pet and so she changed it because she
didn't want the credit to the film.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yes, that's correct. Yeah, but again there's more than that.
I mean, you know what I mean, it's I'm sure
it's something that thought always. You know that that's very personal,
and I've never really seen a child do it. I
understand like an next wife that would want to change
the last name, but you know, a child, you know,
they have their own feelings, their own emotions, their own
(19:45):
made I feel I don't feel back for that's kind
of no, no, no, no, no, I don't deserve it.
But we don't know exactly what he did. When the
child does that, it want nothing to do with their dad.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Well maybe her mother got her when that happened. Mom's
getting their kids' ears just to you know, be revengeful,
maybe because he has a new girlfriend getting allid No.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I mean, I think there's been so many years and
like clearly here you know who's been the better parents,
and it's definitely been Angelina, which to me was super surprising.
That's why in this article is about all about her,
her films. You know, she's starting in Maria Gallos, like
me too. I can't wait to see that she doesn't
(20:28):
look anything like he doesn't. And we, as a matter
of I have tact about that with my friends. How
you know they would pick somebody like Angelina, But people
don't really take into consideration the amount of time and
effort and work that these you know, actors do to
play a role. Can she even sing on yes, she
started singing awful, Yes, because you can take good lessons
(20:50):
and she says that it was so painful and how
like how she cries. I mean, she's a tremendous actress,
but she's very it's one of the few like that.
She's like the evocatemn and her like opinion. So I'm
super excited to see it. But you know, I loved
that the article was about Angelina Julie. It wasn't about
her past. You know, it wasn't about you know, her
(21:11):
messy divorce with Brad. Who cares whether miss still married
or not married. They're obviously not together. She's done a
beautiful job raising her children. I'm super excited, you know,
for her to be back, you know, doing a movie.
I've actually missed seeing her on the screen. And by
the way, she was at the Venice Film Festival too,
Oh she was, she was well, she probably got you know,
(21:32):
around him. Yes, yeah, she looks beautiful also, yeah, you know,
of course she's fifty something years old. This one's thirty four,
so I mean she has already fifty already, isn't she
how old? Isn't she like forty eight fifteenth around that?
But I mean compared to a thirty four year old,
I mean there's a significant gap right there, absolutely, you know,
(21:56):
especially in your life with women. But you know, she
has a lot to be proud about. I was so happy,
honestly to read this, you know, interview, to see what
she's been up to and that she's been such an
extraordinary mother and human activist. She gives so much back.
It talks about like her adoption, you know, with her kids,
(22:17):
the two that she adopted or three mm hm. And
and I don't know. I think she's in a different
stage in her life. You know, there's been I feel
like so much growth. Like that Angelena that we knew
or that we read about years ago. It's not her right,
you know, And that's what it's about. No, not all,
not all. There's a lot of people gets the same ship. Yeah,
twenty years later. No, No, with Angelena. Honestly, I really
(22:41):
enjoyed reading about her because, like we said, we haven't
really talked about her. So she's coming back now this film,
and they really focused on what she's been doing, you
know for the last eight years, while you know, Brad
Pitt's been you know, working on getting you know, young girls,
and you don't know that he was home. It's been
eight years. No, it's been like eight years that they separated.
(23:03):
You know. Again, the reason for their that they're still
not legally divorced. I think it's because there's a lot
of things at stay, like the le the wine. Something
was that she wants all right, she's sporting that Angelina
sporting that now okay, well, okay, close to fifteen. This
(23:23):
girl's thirty four years old, right, I mean, well, so anyways,
but didn't shock you, was like surprising to you that
she said that she has seal friends or no, not
at all. I mean she doesn't seem to me like
someone that would have a lot of friends at all.
She's always been she says, her friends are like her
boys and her daughters and her family. Right, yeah, I
(23:44):
can yeah, I mean, it is what you say. It's
what you say. It's no different than what I would expect.
She found for divorce in twenty sixteen, right, so eight
years eight years ago? Wow, you can't follow her? Are
they divorced? Here?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
My love?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
They're not divorce you know, and the only ones winning
on the attorneys because I meant to have like, you know,
attorneys on file and of course whatever. It's way too long. Wow,
that's a long time to still be married. Eight years.
I wonder what the hold up is. Well, I mean,
obviously they're legally separated, I'm sure, but again it's finances. Yeah,
(24:24):
I'm sure it's finance. All about the Benjamins. M You know,
when you're like super in love and everything's great, you know,
think about those things, right, it's after right, right? Right? Yeah? Absolutely? Well, yeah,
I obviously.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Just always saw her as just like this complicated person
and a very solitary type of person. And I think
that she swept up Brad moved into France and he
left La and they started a home, new life, and
then things started falling apart, and she's just I.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Think she was a better mother. I think that would
saved her was her children. Yeah, and I to that,
you know, I feel like she does that, you know,
like her children saved her. And so she wasn't a
mother who she didn't have that connection in that purpose
in life. And you know, I think that that could
have even been a problem because maybe she wanted to
(25:23):
be Brad a certain kind of dad that he didn't
have the capacity to be right, and then she just
got turned off. You know, maybe she didn't believe in
like spanking your kid, and Brad's you know, parenting skill
was like, you know, we need to spank them so
he can learn so right, there is a conflict between
husband and wife. You know, people don't realize how many
problems you know, there's between husband and wife when they
(25:44):
have to bring up children and raising because they have
different views. We need to find her friend a boo boo.
So Buddha tell us what the hell happened? A lot.
There's a lot of divorces because of that, yeah, you know,
or separate because they have different parentine stuff and you
don't have them. Then on top of it, they have
all these kids that have like six or something kids.
(26:05):
Oh my god, it's like makes like, you know, a
fight every single day. There's a lot of kids. Do
you think that's why I started drinking. I mean, I
don't even have that many kids, and I started drinking.
I got to read you. Now, do you think it's
(26:29):
hard for us to make friends?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I think I'm jaded and I don't want any new
friends because I've been on new friends. I've been failed
by a lot of people a lot in my past,
and I don't need any.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I know who my friends are.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I got a handful and they're spread around the country
and that's it, and that's good enough for me.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
You know. Obviously, through work we have to make new friends.
But well we don't have to. Well, I mean we
have to, you know, in a work environment. Those are
like colleagues are like you acquaintances. Yeah, if you have
to come out to friend and just seconds recording to
is like a front, thank you, and I you know,
I can tell you at any time, you can call
me at any time. You know, you're in the good
(27:08):
times and the bad times. So it's you know, a
friend is like a big word and there's a lot
of responsibility with it.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
It's just not only for like I don't I don't
trust anybody to just talk about anything of mine anymore,
even though I trust the.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Universe to listen to my things. Don't tell.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I'd rather tell you myself my own way, with a
camera in front of me than just start in a
relationship and you know, share with a stranger and then
you know.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Get disappointed again. I've been disappointed so many times. Well,
I mean I'm very friendly, but you know, when thing
is being very fund I used to be too. But
the thing is that you get super excited, like with
your friends from the beginning excited. Okay, Well I said yeah,
so yeah, so you're like super excited within you know,
(27:58):
you want to hang out with them like day and
I blah blah blah like it was in high school.
And then it just kind of like the same way
it started, that's the same way it ends. You know,
I always still and everyone's going to be like me
and that really is like me.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And then that's when you get disappointed because you put
so much into it, and then you know it's not reciprocated.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I know that, like when we do things for each
if I do something, really you always reciprocate. You know.
It's like I never was all the ways I tell
you know that it's like real friendship, like you can
tell like for me, it's very obviously you know. And
I've always told you that I don't set like high
expectations of anyone. That's good. That's that's why I really
don't get hurt with like my girlfriends because it's kind
(28:40):
of like, you know what, I knew that that's what
they were about, and I knew that that's what they are.
But you're better at the point. You're a better read
on people. The terrible read women I am. Yeah, yeah
with men so much. Yeah, well me with neither either.
I just got luck.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I found Buber and I'm like, okay, he's my friend
now and you and the few other people have known
since I was little, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
And I think also, like we said, like with age
and wisdom, Yeah, you start realizing with time and you
really realize, Like I mean, I have five friends or
like ten, and that's all I need and then all
you need because they some friends are so needy, all
difficult and I like to knock it out of you
and like you don't want that either, No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, And friends are dying, dude, it's scared friends this
year three like boom, and I'm like, wow, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You just never know.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
But I don't need to replace them.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
F y anybody out there and it wants to be
money friends, I'm not replacing them.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Do you think, like with Housewives, that you've been put
in situations where you're forced to like make more friends
without the show, you would like just put yourself out
there as much.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You didn't have to show. No, I wouldn't put myself
out there if I didn't have to. But you know,
like I said, it's a work, Vince. I may have
to coexist with your coworkers and you need to make
it work. And it's a show about friendships. So it's
not a show about friendships. Well, it's a bit about that.
It's the interpersonal relationships and they we're like a bunch of.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Friendships friends. It's all scripted.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Real, right, you know, I think we're we're kind of
like the type of show that we're on is reality
and we're in an experiment and they observe us, people
observe us in different scenarios and how we handle them
and where are the guinea pigs?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That's what it's all about. And I don't know. I mean,
I want to get.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Along with everyone. I don't like everyone, and you know,
so in my real life I wouldn't have as many
friends or be as friendly with a group that big,
But that's my job, so I got.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
To do it. What about you? What was the question?
The question was, would you you.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Know, since you have to be friendly and make friends
on the show, would you be that way in your
real life?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Would you actually make that money? Well? I'm very friendly
my real life too, you know. I guess I'm not
going out and looking for friends. But like with my
friends that I already have, like I love to see them,
I love to catch up with them lunch, dinner, you know,
I love to talk and you there and I always
have great stories, and so I feel like I feel
(31:27):
like I need my girlfriends, like I need like that
girl time you know with my friends. Well, yeah, but
I'm telling you about new friends. No, you know, I
want to say the best friends that I've made, like
in my adult life have has been like either through
school when my kids were at school, and you know,
they're still my best friends like their parents and and
(31:51):
pretty much time for a lot of adults when they
make their friends at school, okay for the gym, yeah,
but sometimes you like phase off, like if your kids
go to different school or you don't see them again.
That I have like my group of good friends, like
from when my kids were at school with their parents
and then you know, I think that what solidified a
lot of those friends was when Frankie had the accident
(32:14):
that they may care my family. You know, you were
one of them that I was there, so it was
like that's why I remember, you know, the people that
really loved me, because they're not only there like to
have a good time and to have fun, but when
I needed them, you know, on Sundays, praying and doing
the Rosary, bringing food, just being there and you know, supporting,
just sitting there. So those are friends that I will
(32:36):
forever be grateful and remember with only love like that,
and today they're still there. You know what I mean
different things that have gone through in my life. So
to me, that's what we're really friends. And they're kind
of like my family. Honestly, who would do something like that.
It's like people that love you and it's like your family.
I can't really care about you. I've seen you smoke
a lot of cigarettes and you're like when you're when
(32:58):
you when you're going through something.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
What listen, I'm going to measure how much I love
you and how deep this branch of is. How every
time there's a trauma, you smoke a cigarette.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, so a lot of fact I've been there there. Yeah,
of course there's many ladies that can relate to that. Yeah,
instead of drinking a pill to call my nerves, right,
cigarettes so it's kind of like, you know, brings me,
you know, some peace and like at the moment it
comes me down, like comes my nerves pretty much, it
comes my nervous system. But you see, that's why then
(33:31):
have to go for a walk, because you know, you
also have to be healthy.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Breaking up and your mental health, Jack's Taylor reveals bipullar
disorder and PTSD diagnosis after a mental health facility.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Stay. Wow, that's a lot to process Yeah, that certainly is. Wow.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah, he spent thirty days and a mental health facility.
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Well, his behaviors have always been a little concerning, but
you never know if there's anything behind me. Sorry, it
was like a you know, a wild dude. I didn't want. Well, yeah,
I couldn't believe it already seems so long, like when
I met him like fifteen years ago. Pay het on you.
(34:23):
Oh he did? Why?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Like this is the this is the root of his problems,
not mental illness. Jack Staylor is very nice and Jack
Taylor is sharing new insight on his mental health journey.
The Valley Star forty five shared on Instagram Monday, September
second that he had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder
PTSD after years of struggling with his mental health. He
(34:49):
also knowledged that navigating his diagnosis has been an emotional
process for him.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
That's hard, that's scary, especially in the public eye.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Also, yeah, we for like you know a or I mean,
it's so much child told me I had bipolar disorder,
I'd freak out.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Okay, I just carry just to know. It's better to
know that you have a disorder because there's help. Yeah, yeah,
there's you know, medication that he knew there was something
wrong with it. But that's the diagnosis. You don't want
to hear that schizophrenia. You know, there's a there's no
clo it's scary. Bipolar. By the way, a lot of
people are bipolar and they don't even know it is manageable.
(35:26):
You have to be medicated. I mean, I'm not an expert.
I'm not a psychiatrist.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
We need to medicate some people in our cast because
there's something been medicated.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
No, yeah, in the show may like going in a
k hole.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Okay, Anyway, he posted a little over a month ago.
I checked into an intensive impatient treatment facility, scared of
the unknown and what I would find out about myself.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
That's big.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
After many years of knowing something was wrong but not
knowing exactly what it was, I recently learned that I
was diagnosed with bipolar disorder pe TSD. It's been a
lot to process and the emotional time for me. However,
I've come home to my son with a newfound sense
of peace.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Well that's good. I'd be dying.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I'd be lying if I if I said I wasn't
scared for the future. But my focus is just trying
to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday.
Mental health is a leafed long battle and not letting
it control you, but rather you letting it learning to
control it. This comes after his wife, Britney got right
and filed for divorce on Tuesday, August twenty seventh, a
(36:36):
week ago, nearly six months after taking time apartment to
doctlements Listen that the pair's data separation was January twenty fourth,
citing are reconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
There they share one child together. His name is Cruz.
You're not to slight stick, my friend. You just read
all that without even yeahinga. But I didn't comprehend it properly.
That's the problem, all the comprehension, comprehension that's on the
show when you're for me and I don't comprehend.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, you can read, but you don't comprehend. It is
that sometimes I'm I'm good on a role. I did
play a lot of scrabble on the trip, so I
was better reader, Thank you very much. I'm feeling very
bad for this little family.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
It's very sad. I am smarts dont I felt like
he's always been demonstrating these kind of behaviors, you know,
throughout throughout the shows that we've seen him and in
his personal life, and I thought the best thing that
had happened to him was Brittany, Yeah, because I mean
she did give him, you know, more stability and relationship
(37:45):
and you know, unfortunately, I mean, we don't live with them,
so we don't know like what really happy. But he
has a you know, bipolar personality disorder.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
It's very hard to live with the person, very difficult
because today he's good, to day he's bad. Ye clothes
and you don't know who you're waking up next to
and what you're going to deal with. And then on
top of it, I think he likes to drink and
he likes to have fun when party. I don't know that,
so I'm not going to say that, but I know
he likes to drink and he's like a health person,
(38:16):
so you know.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
That it's going to affect also your that's going to
be a problem because you can't drink when you're on
medication for barcolar disorder that grows you're you know what
happened first, you know, so maybe if they do put
him on a treatment where he's you know, feeling much
better and he can be functional, his his need for
(38:38):
like alcohol will diminish, and you know he won't want
to like have that urge because maybe you know, he
turns to alcohol or other things whatever, because to deal
with his impulsivity and his unlikeliness. I mean, it's like
it must be terrible to you know, we're not in
their head, right. No, it's like a real thing, right right,
because you're looking at your diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
You're trapped in a mind that is just it's cripple
you and it's taking control over your life. I just think, yeah,
I mean he has to learn how to live with this.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
And I think now they give him the tools and
the medication that he's gonna have a much better life
because he's always getting in trouble. He's always like because
he's got that little devil on the left that's taking over. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I had a friend that was part forward and he
loved to party. He was a crazy man, you know
who he was. He lived on self peach and he
loved to drink and party and so he couldn't take
the medication. They wouldn't take the medication, but it was
awful to be around it because from one minutes and
the next day you just start screaming and throwing things
and throwing people out of his house.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Well that's the thing too, that a lot of the
people are right, don't have like mental illnesses or whatever
it may be, refuse to take the medication. Yeah, and
so like the way it makes them feel they can't drink,
they kept party. No, it's not even that they can't
drink or party. I mean I just feel that, you know,
they don't want be accept that reality that they have
to drink a medication. And then it usually if they're
(40:04):
like very hyper like, will probably like make them calm
and whatever. They like who they are, except that gets
you into trouble, which is I think that you know,
this guy had to hit rock bottom yea, to check
himself into a mental you know center where they can
screen them and assess and get to the bottom and
see what's really wrong with them because his life seems
(40:26):
to be falling apart. Yeah, well it's I guess it
has been for a long time. Yes, he's got a
history of this. You know, it wasn't like from overnight
and he's had a history of cheating, which there's no
medication for the right center for that, there is no
Maybe we should over what up what cheaters? Anonymous? Yes,
(40:49):
and so yeah, I think that the cheating has something
to do with the bipolar behavior.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
No, no, and that's no excuse. I feel bad for
him that he has, you know, some mental illness.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
But yeah, how do you think that his ext Brittany,
it's anna handle this? So like do you think it's
going to like influence her in any way? She's going
to feel like sorry for because you know, sometimes we
feel sorry for the people we love, especially when they
have a mental condition. You feel like, am my terrible
you know wife, and I'm like leaving him in his
hard as time and with a mental illness, or you
(41:26):
start making excuses for them or as far as that will.
Maybe he acted up the way he did because there's
something wrong with him mentally. Maybe if he gets help
and medication, you know, will be a different person. So
how do you do you think any of his diagnosis
is going to affect her divorce and for moving on
with her life.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I mean, if I was her, I would think to myself, Okay,
he treated a lot that was a mental illness. Then
I have this other problem. B he has mental illness,
and that's very difficult to live with. So if I
were her, I have a lot of empathy and just
get the hell out of there.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
That's good, Guys, I agree with you because it's he
has a history of all of that, and I don't
think this is an excuse for all of us poor
behavior because like you said, bipolar, and there's no correlation
between being bipolar and cheating, and not every cheater is
has bipolar, right, and not every bipolar person cheats, But
(42:21):
in his case, illness is right, yeah, because that is
an illness. Also the cheating. You know, if it becomes security,
that's double insecurity. And so anyways, you know, I hope
it really doesn't affect her decision because in her case
and in her son's case, I think it would be
the better thing. But I would like him to have
a good relationship. They do have a son together as
(42:44):
far as parenting goes and everything where they could at
least be civil. And I think they're filming together too
on the show. I truly both need to be honest.
I saw that he's filming again, but I don't know
about her. Is she I can imagine that she is.
I mean, I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
I think she's happy that it's getting help so that,
you know, this relationship with this song is better, you know,
for the future.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
But yeah, she definitely needs to move along and get
out of there. And he Yeah, I mean I think
that sometimes you have to put yourself first, not sometimes
like all the time. I mean, and I know it's
a thing, but she needs to put herself first. Yeah,
and her son as well, and say, you know, there
is medication and there is health fraim, which is great
(43:28):
and you could be regulated, but do you want to
put yourself through that and put your son through that
when you know at the end of the day not
that he's going to mess up? Well, you you already
know that pain, right, So why go back to that?
Why go back to that pain and that direction?
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah, peace to faces demons alone, not in front of
his child. And she doesn't need to be babysitting him.
She gave him enough time. I think they met what
eight years ago, She's given him the time.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
And no, and it hasn't been like good eight happy years.
It's been like scandalous for her. Yeah, and it's been
like everybody says around them that is like very mean
to her, that he's always like putting her down. And
you know, she went through her weight struggle like she's
you know, there's some women and some men also like
they're better off without the partner. There really are. I mean,
(44:17):
supposed to be with a man that's a constantly putting
you down like this, that and the other r right
shaming you, that's not good. Yeah, And and she seems
like a nice, sweet girl. She does. I've never gone
to know her. They're actually going to be here when
we did the Bravo contact, I'm sure, I think so.
I'm not sure. Don't quote me on that, because I
(44:37):
don't know which show she's on now. I don't know
the Valley. No, the Valley is not going to be here.
They're not going to be here. No, actually, Branny, but
when you come to Miami, you can call us. You
can call us and we can tell you all ours
horrible stories. We can all compare horrible stories, horrible day.
I mean, I'm just afraid that maybe like he's gonna
come back and he's going to tell her like, you know,
(45:00):
give me a chance, you know, maybe all change. Yeah,
you know, is they're like real change, you know, yes,
and some people there is. I mean, I mean I don't.
I mean, we can DIAGNOSTI forty five people know he's
not changing that ship is said. I mean the only
thing that could change with the proper help and medication
(45:23):
could be his right his behaviors, his mood swings, but
which obviously affected her a lot, because you know, one day,
I'm sure he was insulting her and the next day
he was like, yeah, but who can live like that? Yeah,
but then now he's going to justify that. So now
he's on a medication where he can regulate those moodswings
and those behaviors. Well, let me tell you something. Everybody
just comes down to how much how much she's in
(45:44):
love with it, and that's when it comes out.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
I'm actually proud of it for getting up and going again,
because some people get addicted to that kind of treatment.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Like the highs and the lows. Some people get addicted
to it just staying in the bad person. That makes
you feel bad, and it makes you feel good and
it makes you and I think it's like a trauma bond. Yeah,
it's like toxic, but like it's like I feel really
really good and you feel really really bad. Yeah, but
you just like become used to it. It's a good
lot for her to get up and walk out, so
(46:11):
I applaud her. There's not a lot of you have
the strength to do that. Yeah, I'm very I'm very
happy that she did that well too, because you can
see that they had like a really bad relationship. I
think there was definitely more bad than good. He's a
naughty boy because he looks like he can be like
a lot of trouble. Let's see who's going to pick
him up now? Well, I mean he's always been the
(46:33):
kind of guy that's always had somebody. I mean when
you're in the public eye, you know, you're like they
see you talking to somebody. He's always been like a
cute guy and you know, very nice, very personable, like
charming and you know, at least the times that you
know that's what I know about him. I know that
there's another side to him and a lot of people
say ugly things about him, and if you watch him
on the show the same I'm.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Sure he was charming with you because he's extra chart
just year these girls.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
This was years ago when we first did our show
that actually they had just started their show too, and
we have the upfronts in New York and you know,
we all met there shows we're all starting our season one. Well,
very young and naive. But the thing is that they're
already forty five years old. They're still don't they're actually
doing the same thing. So it's like, I'm happy that
(47:20):
at least you took control of that and say, you
know what, I'm forty five years old. I've gone, you know,
away with all this, but I want to take control
of my life and see what the hell is wrong
with you?
Speaker 1 (47:30):
He's fixing his head on his shoulders, not the other head.
So see how that I don't know that he's never
gonna want to fix. That's never ready fix. How do
you know when a partner has really changed, if they've
really done to change when they said they're going to change.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Well, I mean, first of all, you have to give
it time or not. I mean you have to there's
really it depends that we need them to change and
what they're changing it. You know, it's so complicated. You know,
you have to have like injuries, what is it like
in their case? I don't know what the change would
have been you know, in this case, if the medication
is going to help him, you know, change those things
(48:11):
that they were working on. You know, I feel like
there's certain personality traits and disorders that don't change. So
you know, I haven't studied him, so well, yeah, I don't.
I don't know. I don't have enough information to know that.
I just I've never But at the end of the day, really,
my friend, if you want to do it right, So
(48:33):
if if Jack really wants to do it, he can change.
I believe I want to hang out to see if
somebody actually changes. I don't think through certain agers just
don't check you are you are. People hit like rock Bottom,
you know, and it's like a life changing thing. That's true.
And he has a young son. He knows that Brittie's
a good woman. You know, it would be probably to
(48:54):
his advantage to stay there. If he's in love with Brittany,
I think she would be better off with him without
him without and I think he would be better off
with her because he was with for eight years and
I never thought that he would stay with her that long. Well, yeah,
but you know what I mean. Somarw a lot of
man I'm with you, my friend. He lost a good
(49:14):
one to what I'm saying, you know, so you know,
for for himself, I'm happy that he was. You know,
he's getting some help. We wish him well, hopefully he
gets on the right road. And I am pathetic with
people that have mental illness absolutely. And you know, my
mom looked at Carter, so you know that, and I
was always like, you know, telling her what I would
see patients. You know that I would have worked with her.
(49:35):
Iould like, oh me. You know, back there there was
no hip hop, so you know my mom would share.
And I always had so much empathy myrishol, because it's
like when you know, when you lose your head. You
know a lot of your actions are based on your
your yeah and your thoughts. So it's like I'm not
giving excuses for them, but after you understand it, okay,
because you have this condition, you acted in this way.
(49:57):
Your thoughts can make you a break you that's it.
And when you can't control them, you're a prisoner and
you are stuck, you know. I mean she's been separated
from him already six months or whatever. Maybe I would
you know, a lot of people get divorced and get
back together. So maybe don't do it, you know, No,
I'm just saying, I know, who knows, like maybe two
or three years from now, you know, he's has his
(50:19):
life in order and there's still in love, and I
want to try again. I mean, nothing's impossible, but for now,
I feel that she needs to stay strong, strong, and yes,
support him and help them because he's a father of
your child and you want him to do well, because
nobody wants to see the father of your son doing
bad and you want to have him around. So with
that being said, I think she needs to continue with
(50:42):
her plans of divorce and or at least separation, and
support him, you know, as far as his mental health struggle,
goals and journey, and you know, I wish them both
the best because it's really hard to be going through
something like this publicly, and hard for the baby too.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
Luckily he's still young and he seems to be a
good dad as far as going to see him, you know,
allike Brad, you know, unlike the unresisted, irresistible Brad. I
think they threw Brad out and shunned him, is what
I'm thinking. That they're like, get out. That's that's Brad's narrative.
That's talked to Brad. That's just my witchy My my
(51:23):
witchy thing is that Angelina's not a witch like I
used to think she was, even though she paid those
characters in the villain. But she's actually an amazing human
being and human activist and she helps everyone. And she's
been a wonderful mother for like the last eight years.
I mean, or I mean that's that's all I know.
For eight years, Like she gave up her career and
(51:46):
and she's been with her children, and you can see
that she's at peace.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
I'm just by the interview, and it was so refreshing
that they just focused on her and her family and
and on her acting career. Right well, they couldn't drag
brand anymore. That was enough. He've been dragged. He did
that to himself. Oh Glad dragged him. We're gonna bring you.
Why are you defending the Ben? I don't know to
(52:11):
talk about Ben Jlo? Thank god, thank you, thank god
I wasn't here. I would have been sticking up for Ben.
I don't know, but I'm glad I wasn't here to
talk about because to talk about but we needed I
have to give you some closure. I'm good, I'm glad
I wasn't here for that. Thank you all right, well,
thank you very much guys. Thank you for listening. See

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hi guys, welcome to another episode of I And with Me.
Is Marisol that's back in town. She's yeah, yeah, yeah.
I almost didn't come back because I was really feeling Japanese.
Yeah right, I was. I was. I really loved it there,
so tell me more about it. That's one place I
(00:28):
have on my bucket list. I would actually love to
go with my kids because my kids have always been
obsessed with Japan. Really, I feel like a lot of
kids are would want to visit there. Oh wow. I've
been fascinated with the culture in the city.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I know your kids are well traveled and they've been
all over Europe, and but Japan is so different.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's just such a it's not a culture shock. It's
just so incredible, so vague.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's so dance there's so much any buildings everywhere, just
so dense.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
But then you don't see cars on the road, you
don't see people. It's like, oh, I'm like yeah, and
it's so clean. I'm like, where is everybody? Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I went to so many I was in Tokyo, Nagasaki, Kobe, Kyoto, Hiroshima.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Then I went to South Korea. I can't remember all
the place I went to a lot of places, And
which was your favorite? In any I love to.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I love Tokyo. I loved Kyokyo's what I've read. South
Korea was amazing. Once a friendly called Jiju, and there
was this place we went to I don't remember the
name of it, and it had this big, enormous golden
Buddha that was like seven hundred feet high, and then
(01:50):
behind it was thousands of miniature stone Buddhas carved out
behind it was the energy was so intense.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
You think I got oh my god, were charged?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Of course August is the hottest month. It's worse than Miami.
It's a different kind of hate and humidity that you
can't almost can't even break. So it's not a good
time to go. Well August. You know me, I'm super flora.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So of course I was like feeling like I was
gonna faint at any minute.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
So do you eat? Tell me about the food. You know,
food is very important to me. Yeah, okay, Well the
food is phenomenal. It's so clean, so fresh. You know,
I'm what did you eat? Seafood? Fish, I ate a
lot of seaweed so good. Yeah, but they make it
really cool. I wonder you feel like you were going. No,
(02:38):
I can live on seaweed. No no, but that's not
the only thing I ate. I had a lot of
good beans and things like that. I ate yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well no, no, no, no, well I ate more and tofu.
I ate more on the ship than I did on land. Yeah,
and then so I landed. I have like mi so and.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Tofu and lots of cocktails. Do they drink us munto
a so the Americans do? Or let me tell yourself.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So when we got there, we stayed Amanda and Oriental
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Like, hey, can I get a screwdriver?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Of course they don't even know what that means. I'm like,
how about a vodka? They didn't understand me. See how
they type it into his phone and show them and
they're like, oh yeah, And they looked at me weird,
like why do you want that? I'm like, because because
I do that whttle orange juice to So we stay
at the Mandar. In a few days, we leave, we
get on our celebrity cruise.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It was amazing. We come back. We stay at the Manda.
Do you recommend like see you know, like on the ship.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I prefer traveling on a ship because it's just so easy.
Every day you go to bed the cruise at night,
you wake up, you're in a new place. You don't
have to unpack, you get down, you go see everything,
you come back or your food is there, or you
eat off.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
The ship whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's just so so so easy. You can get blow
drives on the ship. You know this.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, good stuff. Yeah, well, what's hot out there? Come
back to me watching?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, like hard work, especially if you have a wig
like me. Stop you know home well you know what
I mean, wiggish okay, like a little bit of a
two fact.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
By the way, do they have the I don't know
anyone touch anybody's there. I don't know. It's it's fascinated
with like when you go through a different country and
different continent, you know, with besides their culture and the
history of the place, but the people. Yeah, you know,
I feel like the people, the food, you know, the
way they live their lives. They're right healthy. I mean,
(04:39):
their diet.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I didn't really like examine them, had to tell but
I'll tell you that I didn't see any fake boops.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I didn't see any over inflated on your lips, and
I don't think anybody had like a pair extensions of faith.
But that's what I meant when you go to Europe
and so refreshing because you don't see as much as
you do. Yeah, you know in America, and in America,
in certain cities like Miami, La, are the ones that
(05:06):
are like only invested, heavily invested. I mean, did you
see whether a lot of tourists from other countries, from
other places visiting, I mean not like in the cities
like everywhere I visited.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
No, the only tourists I saw were the people that
were you know that I could see that we're in
the tourist trap type of areas.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
We tried to stay away from there.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
We mostly went to some like amazing temples, fish markets,
and then we tried to find like the top Michelin
star restaurants, have a good Japanese experience, and then we'd
come back to the ship. But yeah, beautiful, it was
great to do it again. Oh it's beautiful. I mean,
we all do the same thing every year anyway, don't
(05:50):
we all go back to Italy and friends and you know, Spain.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Or really but that's really not a destination that I
feel like a lot of people would go back to. Interesting. Yeah,
and the idea it's kind of like a once in
a lifetime experience. I would like to. I've never been,
but when I go, yeah, I'll probably just feel like
a one time you. I bet you you want to
go back. It's so clean and everyone's so polite, and
it's just so speaking language.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
But I'm just the way that they know they spoke English,
of course, and they're.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Just they bow and they you know. Then I started
bowing Steve, like the bowie thing. That's why you like
everybody who like bowing. But when you don't know what
to say, just bow?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, yeah, should I do that on the show when
I'm at a loss for words at that or happens
to start bowing?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, everyone's going to follow you right along, awaiter. What's
wrong with Alexia parasol? Why are they are they fighting back?
Why it's bowing off the side. But it sounds like
a lot of fun. I highly recommend going to Japan everybody. Yeah,
I want to go to Singapore though, And there's a
lot of places visits.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Oh yeah, it's a whole other Ballow acts. But yeah,
I would definitely go back and investigate more because there's
a lot to see. Yeah, it's rich in history for sure.
So what's been happening while I've been away?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Mm hmmm, A lot's been happening. Yeah, what are you
been up to? Working out? I can tell you look
really good. You know, I'm getting ready for a bench put. No,
I actually haven't done the rhythnge body yet. What are
you talking about? What are you going to do? That's
what work? Could you do? Oh? I haven't done anything.
All I'm doing is I know, first time? Because yeah,
(07:36):
you can't eat right? Yeah? No, I mean yeah, that
was the beginning. I'm good now. Oh you're eating? Oh
you are? Yeah? Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
If you all don't know it, I'm gonna let you know.
Alexia is a childhound.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
She loves too, but I also like to look good,
so you know, everything it's about balance. But the walking
and the like. Where I'm living, I get to walk
a lot, so I love that people. Walking really does
help me keep my weak Yeah yeah, yeah, so just
walking in the afternoons, you know, when I'm anxious to
just go for a nice walk in venitions and the gym.
(08:10):
But don't know, noll put a revenge body to what
are you talking about? I feel like you have a
revenge body right now. It's scaring me. I'm stealing the revenge,
you know. I just you know, I just feel good.
And I think it's it's like part of my like
everyday life. But I'm making it so like you feel good.
I feel like if I feel good in the outside,
I feel good in the inside. I feel like compliments
(08:32):
each other.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You're getting back to you, You're century yourself, You're heeling
yourself and walking and probably talking to yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, I talk to myself. I always wondered every time
I see people that walk so much off like company,
these people just walk and walk. Now I find like
one of those people that I just walk and walk.
Oh wow, Yeah, I know it does help. Yeah, I
think it helps me a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I was doing a lot of steps on the ship.
I was trying to hit ten thousand a day. Of course,
not I'm bout home. I don't hit three hundred a day.
Feet in and back, and I was like, this is
great now, moment of like.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Forget it, no, but you can still do the same
thing here. I know, it's so hot out there. At
least in the boat was a c I was doing
it on the inside. Exercises exercise absolutely yeah, no, but here,
you know, just like the same thing. I've just been like,
stay busy and you know, just getting ready for for
(09:27):
the fall. Mm hmm, No, you mean to get back up?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
No, you're not. It's not the fall. I get to
double on tundra. It's a joke. Remember mind, let's let's
you didn't get it. You're not falling, but it's the fall.
Oh I didn't have Just getting ready for the season
like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for our season. Absolutely, I'm ready.
Are you seasoned? OUs?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
This on on?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah? I gets a hollary season. I'm seeing all these
pictures of Brad Pitton's new girlfriend. Oh how do you
feel about that? Oh? I mean she looks super hot
(10:16):
for his age. He's always been a beautiful man, that's
the truth. Yeah, And and you know he's hot. He's
gone through good stages and bad stages, but it's always hot.
But he's always been a beautiful man. It is what
it is. And I just love the way that he's
a man. So everybody says, you know, his wrinkles look good,
he's aged so perfectly, his gray hair, and like everybody's like,
(10:40):
oh my god, he's irresistible. He's so hot. Like that
happens to us. I'm worth sixty years old. Yeah, and
they'll be like, look at her, you know, she die
and look at her wrinkles, and she needs this. I've
never heard of anybody reforming to like a sixty year
old woman, like she's so beautiful, she's so hot, she's
so irresistible, tell me more and tell me flakam. She
(11:03):
looked good when she did, Like she's already like way older,
she's sixty two or something like that. You know, a woman,
you know, we can't compare our physique to a man.
You know, the women tend to get you know, flabby er,
her skin is different and whatnot. But I'm just saying
it's soul double standards that I can't deal with it.
It's true, it's true. But by the way, he's sixty.
His girlfriend's thirty four. Ohanola from Spain. Oh oh she's
(11:27):
from Spain. Yes, okay, he probably lives like Angela, but
she's a regular girl. She's not beautiful. Angelina Jolie is beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I mean, but there's very few women on the planet
that are Angelina Joliet.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Like. It doesn't matter who he's going to be, it's
never gonna be endy. The only thing is that she's young.
She's younger, she's scented. You know how many girls I've
got Miami look like that. She's like your typical girl
here in Miami or from from a Latin family. She's
brown hair, brown eyes. I don't think she has anything beautiful.
I don't know her inside, you know, because for me,
beauty when I I mean evaluating or whatever a person
(12:04):
as far as their beauty goes, I count their personality
a lot. With their intelligence, we don't, you know what,
like some people just have like a star and a shine.
She has a nice smile, you know she does. But
you know what, I'm not oppressed. Okay, you know I'm
not impressed. Well, he's young, she's thirty four years old. Back,
(12:24):
we love Brad.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
What a protective of him because he's our natural treasure.
And you know when he looked with Angelina, it was like,
oh my god, those two are like the hottest sleep
on the planet.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, I don't think that's ever going to happen again.
It's just not that was a one time. But I
think people like that because they just like focus on that.
And it's true, you love to see a beautiful couple
because a lot of times you see like a super
like beautiful girl and she's like with a not attractive man,
and then sometimes you see a really hot guy with
like a normal or ugly girl. So yeah, I think
people get excited when they see, you know, two people
(12:55):
that are good looking and hot and you're right, that's
probably not going to have it again, like Bradley Cooper,
and that's pretty hard. It's cute, but again, she's so young,
she's pretty, they're you know, then say she is a
pretty girl versus this one. This one's not. Maybe she's
just like a common regular girl. But yeah, so anyways,
(13:17):
I really enjoyed. Did you read the article on Angelina Julie. Yes,
so she doesn't need more friends. Angelina Julie shares perspective
on relationships after being betrayed a lot. I feel that
Angelina jale is content with her inner circle well, relating
that she didn't have too many close friends. The star
reflected on why she prefers to keep it that way.
(13:40):
I don't really have those kinds of friendships. Maybe it's
losing your parents at a young age, or maybe it's working,
maybe it's being somebody who's been betrayed a lot. I
don't have a lot of those warm, close relationships as
much that I can lean on. But I have a few,
and a few is enough. Her Cambodian American human rights activists,
who is the object of first they killed my father?
(14:02):
Her name is to say that Lan Lan. So that's
one of Angelina's close friends. She was very close to
her mom and she lost her. She's had a few
friends over the years not being there for her family
and the artwork need. And she says she has a
couple of friends that she can trust, right right. But
I think in that case, it's a lot of people
(14:23):
that are in that situation. Yeah, like us. No, I
have no my friends or my family. I will talk
about that now because honestly, I am blessed, beyond blessed
that have so many great friends and that are like
my family especially. That is true. Also when the Hollywood
Reporter article, the reporter asked, may I ask with the
(14:43):
status of your divorces, and she replied, no, thank you, Angelina.
What are the people have to as it's like so
honly with the reporters they have to ask the hard
question like ten years later. And by the way, I
can't believe they're not wor no, there's divorced.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah. And by the way, he's a terrible dabt. But
we'll get into that. Meanwhile, her ex bride Pitch just
made his bread carpet jmut with Inesechemon at the Venice
Film Festival. He attended with George Clooney and his wife
from all So, there's a lot of information here that
we need to unwrap. We got to dissect this, okay.
So first of all, after I read this article, I
(15:24):
have a different perspective on Angelina. I didn't know because
you know, I knew I kind of like the younger
Angelina before, yes, and now this is the Angelina who
basically put her career on hold to raise her children
and raise her family, and nobody even really spoke about her.
(15:46):
And you know, it's very few times I feel like
they write a story like this about her where they're
really highlighting her as a mother and how she put
her career on hold, you know, to raise her family
because it's what she needed to do and it's what
was important to her children, you know. And her children
have turned out to be like really nice young men
(16:06):
and women. She's super close to them. She's saying that
she's only staying in Los Angeles and has been in
Los Angeles because because of Brad. They don't want to
see Brad Pitt, and Brad Pitt has no communication with them,
but he's making them stay in Los Angeles. Well, I mean,
he's the father. He needs to see that. No, No,
father is not only anybody that's like, okay, the biological
(16:27):
father or whatever. He doesn't see them. They changed their
last name, don't even have nothing to do one of
them change their last name.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
But let me ask you the biologically right, But let
me ask you a question. What exactly did he do
that was so horrible? I'm not clear the article didn't
talk about this.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
This is what I'm saying is that we've heard like
bits and pieces right when they were going through the separation, right,
I heard there were rumors of change. No she oh no, oh,
I thought that's what it wasn't. I mean, what I
had read was that. I guess they were on a
plane and he got a little too sauce and then
he got violent. Okay, and just one incident. Nobody is
(17:04):
filing for the works. Where have to be more deperisious there.
But that wasn't the cause of the divorce. So there
had to have been a history, of course, because I mean,
nobody's gonna have like one episode, you know, on the
plane or wherever, and you're gonna file for the works.
I mean them lit me. That's a little bit too much,
I know, but obvious the more there.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
So let me ask you back when they first got together,
did you feel like, oh, boy, that's never gonna last
because she's crazy and she's gonna dump it.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Back in the day, because I know that crossed my
mind very heavily. I never thought that. I really thought
they were in love, you know, and that they had
a lot of similarities, you know, and you know, sometimes
you can be like that crazy wal time where you
meet the right guy or the guy that you fought
madly in love with, but she didn't. I think they
both were madly loved with each other. I didn't know
(17:55):
where it went wrong. There's been two times in my
life where I've looked at a couple, it gets to
you and I said, oh boy, she's going to do
a number on him, and she's going to dump them.
And it was Angeline and Jolie at Mega Marco. That's
the way. But Angelina didn't dump. Know, I thought like
she was. Are always the ones that, you know, the
(18:17):
fall for the worce. Usually they're the ones that the
fault for divorce.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I don't know, I knew that eventually this was gonna
happen because she's I don't know, I think she's.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Kind of outpha. But you know, I'm glad that she's
not talking about Brad Pitt anymore, because you know, there's
women that ten years later are still talking about them.
As a matter of fact, they asked her about their
divorce and she's like, no, no, this is between them two.
Nobody cares at this point. I like that. But she's
already dragged, already dragged. Dump But this this is what
I'm talking about. Oh yeah, she's she deserved to be dragged,
(18:50):
So good for you, Angelina. And just the fact that
the daughter wanted to change her last name, that was
another drag recently, of course, And and she paid for
she hired her attorney. The daughter paid for it herself,
so it was not like encouraged by the mom or
financed by the mom. It was something that she on
her own wanted to do. I read I think I
read correctly.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
If I'm wrong, maybe you read it too that she
hired her daughter Vivian to work on the film with
her her new project, and then Vivian didn't want the
last thing pet and so she changed it because she
didn't want the credit to the film.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yes, that's correct. Yeah, but again there's more than that.
I mean, you know what I mean, it's I'm sure
it's something that thought always. You know that that's very personal,
and I've never really seen a child do it. I
understand like an next wife that would want to change
the last name, but you know, a child, you know,
they have their own feelings, their own emotions, their own
(19:45):
made I feel I don't feel back for that's kind
of no, no, no, no, no, I don't deserve it.
But we don't know exactly what he did. When the
child does that, it want nothing to do with their dad.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Well maybe her mother got her when that happened. Mom's
getting their kids' ears just to you know, be revengeful,
maybe because he has a new girlfriend getting allid No.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I mean, I think there's been so many years and
like clearly here you know who's been the better parents,
and it's definitely been Angelina, which to me was super surprising.
That's why in this article is about all about her,
her films. You know, she's starting in Maria Gallos, like
me too. I can't wait to see that she doesn't
(20:28):
look anything like he doesn't. And we, as a matter
of I have tact about that with my friends. How
you know they would pick somebody like Angelina, But people
don't really take into consideration the amount of time and
effort and work that these you know, actors do to
play a role. Can she even sing on yes, she
started singing awful, Yes, because you can take good lessons
(20:50):
and she says that it was so painful and how
like how she cries. I mean, she's a tremendous actress,
but she's very it's one of the few like that.
She's like the evocatemn and her like opinion. So I'm
super excited to see it. But you know, I loved
that the article was about Angelina Julie. It wasn't about
her past. You know, it wasn't about you know, her
(21:11):
messy divorce with Brad. Who cares whether miss still married
or not married. They're obviously not together. She's done a
beautiful job raising her children. I'm super excited, you know,
for her to be back, you know, doing a movie.
I've actually missed seeing her on the screen. And by
the way, she was at the Venice Film Festival too,
Oh she was, she was well, she probably got you know,
(21:32):
around him. Yes, yeah, she looks beautiful also, yeah, you know,
of course she's fifty something years old. This one's thirty four,
so I mean she has already fifty already, isn't she
how old? Isn't she like forty eight fifteenth around that?
But I mean compared to a thirty four year old,
I mean there's a significant gap right there, absolutely, you know,
(21:56):
especially in your life with women. But you know, she
has a lot to be proud about. I was so happy,
honestly to read this, you know, interview, to see what
she's been up to and that she's been such an
extraordinary mother and human activist. She gives so much back.
It talks about like her adoption, you know, with her kids,
(22:17):
the two that she adopted or three mm hm. And
and I don't know. I think she's in a different
stage in her life. You know, there's been I feel
like so much growth. Like that Angelena that we knew
or that we read about years ago. It's not her right,
you know, And that's what it's about. No, not all,
not all. There's a lot of people gets the same ship. Yeah,
twenty years later. No, No, with Angelena. Honestly, I really
(22:41):
enjoyed reading about her because, like we said, we haven't
really talked about her. So she's coming back now this film,
and they really focused on what she's been doing, you
know for the last eight years, while you know, Brad
Pitt's been you know, working on getting you know, young girls,
and you don't know that he was home. It's been
eight years. No, it's been like eight years that they separated.
(23:03):
You know. Again, the reason for their that they're still
not legally divorced. I think it's because there's a lot
of things at stay, like the le the wine. Something
was that she wants all right, she's sporting that Angelina
sporting that now okay, well, okay, close to fifteen. This
(23:23):
girl's thirty four years old, right, I mean, well, so anyways,
but didn't shock you, was like surprising to you that
she said that she has seal friends or no, not
at all. I mean she doesn't seem to me like
someone that would have a lot of friends at all.
She's always been she says, her friends are like her
boys and her daughters and her family. Right, yeah, I
(23:44):
can yeah, I mean, it is what you say. It's
what you say. It's no different than what I would expect.
She found for divorce in twenty sixteen, right, so eight
years eight years ago? Wow, you can't follow her? Are
they divorced? Here?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
My love?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
They're not divorce you know, and the only ones winning
on the attorneys because I meant to have like, you know,
attorneys on file and of course whatever. It's way too long. Wow,
that's a long time to still be married. Eight years.
I wonder what the hold up is. Well, I mean,
obviously they're legally separated, I'm sure, but again it's finances. Yeah,
(24:24):
I'm sure it's finance. All about the Benjamins. M You know,
when you're like super in love and everything's great, you know,
think about those things, right, it's after right, right? Right? Yeah? Absolutely? Well, yeah,
I obviously.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Just always saw her as just like this complicated person
and a very solitary type of person. And I think
that she swept up Brad moved into France and he
left La and they started a home, new life, and
then things started falling apart, and she's just I.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Think she was a better mother. I think that would
saved her was her children. Yeah, and I to that,
you know, I feel like she does that, you know,
like her children saved her. And so she wasn't a
mother who she didn't have that connection in that purpose
in life. And you know, I think that that could
have even been a problem because maybe she wanted to
(25:23):
be Brad a certain kind of dad that he didn't
have the capacity to be right, and then she just
got turned off. You know, maybe she didn't believe in
like spanking your kid, and Brad's you know, parenting skill
was like, you know, we need to spank them so
he can learn so right, there is a conflict between
husband and wife. You know, people don't realize how many
problems you know, there's between husband and wife when they
(25:44):
have to bring up children and raising because they have
different views. We need to find her friend a boo boo.
So Buddha tell us what the hell happened? A lot.
There's a lot of divorces because of that, yeah, you know,
or separate because they have different parentine stuff and you
don't have them. Then on top of it, they have
all these kids that have like six or something kids.
(26:05):
Oh my god, it's like makes like, you know, a
fight every single day. There's a lot of kids. Do
you think that's why I started drinking. I mean, I
don't even have that many kids, and I started drinking.
I got to read you. Now, do you think it's
(26:29):
hard for us to make friends?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
I think I'm jaded and I don't want any new
friends because I've been on new friends. I've been failed
by a lot of people a lot in my past,
and I don't need any.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I know who my friends are.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I got a handful and they're spread around the country
and that's it, and that's good enough for me.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
You know. Obviously, through work we have to make new friends.
But well we don't have to. Well, I mean we
have to, you know, in a work environment. Those are
like colleagues are like you acquaintances. Yeah, if you have
to come out to friend and just seconds recording to
is like a front, thank you, and I you know,
I can tell you at any time, you can call
me at any time. You know, you're in the good
(27:08):
times and the bad times. So it's you know, a
friend is like a big word and there's a lot
of responsibility with it.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
It's just not only for like I don't I don't
trust anybody to just talk about anything of mine anymore,
even though I trust the.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Universe to listen to my things. Don't tell.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I'd rather tell you myself my own way, with a
camera in front of me than just start in a
relationship and you know, share with a stranger and then
you know.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Get disappointed again. I've been disappointed so many times. Well,
I mean I'm very friendly, but you know, when thing
is being very fund I used to be too. But
the thing is that you get super excited, like with
your friends from the beginning excited. Okay, Well I said yeah,
so yeah, so you're like super excited within you know,
(27:58):
you want to hang out with them like day and
I blah blah blah like it was in high school.
And then it just kind of like the same way
it started, that's the same way it ends. You know,
I always still and everyone's going to be like me
and that really is like me.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
And then that's when you get disappointed because you put
so much into it, and then you know it's not reciprocated.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I know that, like when we do things for each
if I do something, really you always reciprocate. You know.
It's like I never was all the ways I tell
you know that it's like real friendship, like you can
tell like for me, it's very obviously you know. And
I've always told you that I don't set like high
expectations of anyone. That's good. That's that's why I really
don't get hurt with like my girlfriends because it's kind
(28:40):
of like, you know what, I knew that that's what
they were about, and I knew that that's what they are.
But you're better at the point. You're a better read
on people. The terrible read women I am. Yeah, yeah
with men so much. Yeah, well me with neither either.
I just got luck.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I found Buber and I'm like, okay, he's my friend
now and you and the few other people have known
since I was little, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
And I think also, like we said, like with age
and wisdom, Yeah, you start realizing with time and you
really realize, Like I mean, I have five friends or
like ten, and that's all I need and then all
you need because they some friends are so needy, all
difficult and I like to knock it out of you
and like you don't want that either, No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, And friends are dying, dude, it's scared friends this
year three like boom, and I'm like, wow, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
You just never know.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
So.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
But I don't need to replace them.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
F y anybody out there and it wants to be
money friends, I'm not replacing them.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Do you think, like with Housewives, that you've been put
in situations where you're forced to like make more friends
without the show, you would like just put yourself out
there as much.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
You didn't have to show. No, I wouldn't put myself
out there if I didn't have to. But you know,
like I said, it's a work, Vince. I may have
to coexist with your coworkers and you need to make
it work. And it's a show about friendships. So it's
not a show about friendships. Well, it's a bit about that.
It's the interpersonal relationships and they we're like a bunch of.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Friendships friends. It's all scripted.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Real, right, you know, I think we're we're kind of
like the type of show that we're on is reality
and we're in an experiment and they observe us, people
observe us in different scenarios and how we handle them
and where are the guinea pigs?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
That's what it's all about. And I don't know. I mean,
I want to get.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Along with everyone. I don't like everyone, and you know,
so in my real life I wouldn't have as many
friends or be as friendly with a group that big,
But that's my job, so I got.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
To do it. What about you? What was the question?
The question was, would you you.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Know, since you have to be friendly and make friends
on the show, would you be that way in your
real life?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Would you actually make that money? Well? I'm very friendly
my real life too, you know. I guess I'm not
going out and looking for friends. But like with my
friends that I already have, like I love to see them,
I love to catch up with them lunch, dinner, you know,
I love to talk and you there and I always
have great stories, and so I feel like I feel
(31:27):
like I need my girlfriends, like I need like that
girl time you know with my friends. Well, yeah, but
I'm telling you about new friends. No, you know, I
want to say the best friends that I've made, like
in my adult life have has been like either through
school when my kids were at school, and you know,
they're still my best friends like their parents and and
(31:51):
pretty much time for a lot of adults when they
make their friends at school, okay for the gym, yeah,
but sometimes you like phase off, like if your kids
go to different school or you don't see them again.
That I have like my group of good friends, like
from when my kids were at school with their parents
and then you know, I think that what solidified a
lot of those friends was when Frankie had the accident
(32:14):
that they may care my family. You know, you were
one of them that I was there, so it was
like that's why I remember, you know, the people that
really loved me, because they're not only there like to
have a good time and to have fun, but when
I needed them, you know, on Sundays, praying and doing
the Rosary, bringing food, just being there and you know, supporting,
just sitting there. So those are friends that I will
(32:36):
forever be grateful and remember with only love like that,
and today they're still there. You know what I mean
different things that have gone through in my life. So
to me, that's what we're really friends. And they're kind
of like my family. Honestly, who would do something like that.
It's like people that love you and it's like your family.
I can't really care about you. I've seen you smoke
a lot of cigarettes and you're like when you're when
(32:58):
you when you're going through something.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
What listen, I'm going to measure how much I love
you and how deep this branch of is. How every
time there's a trauma, you smoke a cigarette.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, so a lot of fact I've been there there. Yeah,
of course there's many ladies that can relate to that. Yeah,
instead of drinking a pill to call my nerves, right,
cigarettes so it's kind of like, you know, brings me,
you know, some peace and like at the moment it
comes me down, like comes my nerves pretty much, it
comes my nervous system. But you see, that's why then
(33:31):
have to go for a walk, because you know, you
also have to be healthy.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Breaking up and your mental health, Jack's Taylor reveals bipullar
disorder and PTSD diagnosis after a mental health facility.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Stay. Wow, that's a lot to process Yeah, that certainly is. Wow.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah, he spent thirty days and a mental health facility.
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Well, his behaviors have always been a little concerning, but
you never know if there's anything behind me. Sorry, it
was like a you know, a wild dude. I didn't want. Well, yeah,
I couldn't believe it already seems so long, like when
I met him like fifteen years ago. Pay het on you.
(34:23):
Oh he did? Why?
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Like this is the this is the root of his problems,
not mental illness. Jack Staylor is very nice and Jack
Taylor is sharing new insight on his mental health journey.
The Valley Star forty five shared on Instagram Monday, September
second that he had recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder
PTSD after years of struggling with his mental health. He
(34:49):
also knowledged that navigating his diagnosis has been an emotional
process for him.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
That's hard, that's scary, especially in the public eye.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Also, yeah, we for like you know a or I mean,
it's so much child told me I had bipolar disorder,
I'd freak out.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Okay, I just carry just to know. It's better to
know that you have a disorder because there's help. Yeah, yeah,
there's you know, medication that he knew there was something
wrong with it. But that's the diagnosis. You don't want
to hear that schizophrenia. You know, there's a there's no
clo it's scary. Bipolar. By the way, a lot of
people are bipolar and they don't even know it is manageable.
(35:26):
You have to be medicated. I mean, I'm not an expert.
I'm not a psychiatrist.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
We need to medicate some people in our cast because
there's something been medicated.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
No, yeah, in the show may like going in a
k hole.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Okay, Anyway, he posted a little over a month ago.
I checked into an intensive impatient treatment facility, scared of
the unknown and what I would find out about myself.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
That's big.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
After many years of knowing something was wrong but not
knowing exactly what it was, I recently learned that I
was diagnosed with bipolar disorder pe TSD. It's been a
lot to process and the emotional time for me. However,
I've come home to my son with a newfound sense
of peace.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Well that's good. I'd be dying.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I'd be lying if I if I said I wasn't
scared for the future. But my focus is just trying
to be a better version of myself than I was yesterday.
Mental health is a leafed long battle and not letting
it control you, but rather you letting it learning to
control it. This comes after his wife, Britney got right
and filed for divorce on Tuesday, August twenty seventh, a
(36:36):
week ago, nearly six months after taking time apartment to
doctlements Listen that the pair's data separation was January twenty fourth,
citing are reconcilable differences as the reason for their split.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
There they share one child together. His name is Cruz.
You're not to slight stick, my friend. You just read
all that without even yeahinga. But I didn't comprehend it properly.
That's the problem, all the comprehension, comprehension that's on the
show when you're for me and I don't comprehend.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, you can read, but you don't comprehend. It is
that sometimes I'm I'm good on a role. I did
play a lot of scrabble on the trip, so I
was better reader, Thank you very much. I'm feeling very
bad for this little family.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
It's very sad. I am smarts dont I felt like
he's always been demonstrating these kind of behaviors, you know,
throughout throughout the shows that we've seen him and in
his personal life, and I thought the best thing that
had happened to him was Brittany, Yeah, because I mean
she did give him, you know, more stability and relationship
(37:45):
and you know, unfortunately, I mean, we don't live with them,
so we don't know like what really happy. But he
has a you know, bipolar personality disorder.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
It's very hard to live with the person, very difficult
because today he's good, to day he's bad. Ye clothes
and you don't know who you're waking up next to
and what you're going to deal with. And then on
top of it, I think he likes to drink and
he likes to have fun when party. I don't know that,
so I'm not going to say that, but I know
he likes to drink and he's like a health person,
(38:16):
so you know.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
That it's going to affect also your that's going to
be a problem because you can't drink when you're on
medication for barcolar disorder that grows you're you know what
happened first, you know, so maybe if they do put
him on a treatment where he's you know, feeling much
better and he can be functional, his his need for
(38:38):
like alcohol will diminish, and you know he won't want
to like have that urge because maybe you know, he
turns to alcohol or other things whatever, because to deal
with his impulsivity and his unlikeliness. I mean, it's like
it must be terrible to you know, we're not in
their head, right. No, it's like a real thing, right right,
because you're looking at your diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
You're trapped in a mind that is just it's cripple
you and it's taking control over your life. I just think, yeah,
I mean he has to learn how to live with this.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
And I think now they give him the tools and
the medication that he's gonna have a much better life
because he's always getting in trouble. He's always like because
he's got that little devil on the left that's taking over. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I had a friend that was part forward and he
loved to party. He was a crazy man, you know
who he was. He lived on self peach and he
loved to drink and party and so he couldn't take
the medication. They wouldn't take the medication, but it was
awful to be around it because from one minutes and
the next day you just start screaming and throwing things
and throwing people out of his house.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Well that's the thing too, that a lot of the
people are right, don't have like mental illnesses or whatever
it may be, refuse to take the medication. Yeah, and
so like the way it makes them feel they can't drink,
they kept party. No, it's not even that they can't
drink or party. I mean I just feel that, you know,
they don't want be accept that reality that they have
to drink a medication. And then it usually if they're
(40:04):
like very hyper like, will probably like make them calm
and whatever. They like who they are, except that gets
you into trouble, which is I think that you know,
this guy had to hit rock bottom yea, to check
himself into a mental you know center where they can
screen them and assess and get to the bottom and
see what's really wrong with them because his life seems
(40:26):
to be falling apart. Yeah, well it's I guess it
has been for a long time. Yes, he's got a
history of this. You know, it wasn't like from overnight
and he's had a history of cheating, which there's no
medication for the right center for that, there is no
Maybe we should over what up what cheaters? Anonymous? Yes,
(40:49):
and so yeah, I think that the cheating has something
to do with the bipolar behavior.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
No, no, and that's no excuse. I feel bad for
him that he has, you know, some mental illness.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
But yeah, how do you think that his ext Brittany,
it's anna handle this? So like do you think it's
going to like influence her in any way? She's going
to feel like sorry for because you know, sometimes we
feel sorry for the people we love, especially when they
have a mental condition. You feel like, am my terrible
you know wife, and I'm like leaving him in his
hard as time and with a mental illness, or you
(41:26):
start making excuses for them or as far as that will.
Maybe he acted up the way he did because there's
something wrong with him mentally. Maybe if he gets help
and medication, you know, will be a different person. So
how do you do you think any of his diagnosis
is going to affect her divorce and for moving on
with her life.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
I mean, if I was her, I would think to myself, Okay,
he treated a lot that was a mental illness. Then
I have this other problem. B he has mental illness,
and that's very difficult to live with. So if I
were her, I have a lot of empathy and just
get the hell out of there.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
That's good, Guys, I agree with you because it's he
has a history of all of that, and I don't
think this is an excuse for all of us poor
behavior because like you said, bipolar, and there's no correlation
between being bipolar and cheating, and not every cheater is
has bipolar, right, and not every bipolar person cheats, But
(42:21):
in his case, illness is right, yeah, because that is
an illness. Also the cheating. You know, if it becomes security,
that's double insecurity. And so anyways, you know, I hope
it really doesn't affect her decision because in her case
and in her son's case, I think it would be
the better thing. But I would like him to have
a good relationship. They do have a son together as
(42:44):
far as parenting goes and everything where they could at
least be civil. And I think they're filming together too
on the show. I truly both need to be honest.
I saw that he's filming again, but I don't know
about her. Is she I can imagine that she is.
I mean, I'm not sure about that.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
I think she's happy that it's getting help so that,
you know, this relationship with this song is better, you know,
for the future.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
But yeah, she definitely needs to move along and get
out of there. And he Yeah, I mean I think
that sometimes you have to put yourself first, not sometimes
like all the time. I mean, and I know it's
a thing, but she needs to put herself first. Yeah,
and her son as well, and say, you know, there
is medication and there is health fraim, which is great
(43:28):
and you could be regulated, but do you want to
put yourself through that and put your son through that
when you know at the end of the day not
that he's going to mess up? Well, you you already
know that pain, right, So why go back to that?
Why go back to that pain and that direction?
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah, peace to faces demons alone, not in front of
his child. And she doesn't need to be babysitting him.
She gave him enough time. I think they met what
eight years ago, She's given him the time.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
And no, and it hasn't been like good eight happy years.
It's been like scandalous for her. Yeah, and it's been
like everybody says around them that is like very mean
to her, that he's always like putting her down. And
you know, she went through her weight struggle like she's
you know, there's some women and some men also like
they're better off without the partner. There really are. I mean,
(44:17):
supposed to be with a man that's a constantly putting
you down like this, that and the other r right
shaming you, that's not good. Yeah, And and she seems
like a nice, sweet girl. She does. I've never gone
to know her. They're actually going to be here when
we did the Bravo contact, I'm sure, I think so.
I'm not sure. Don't quote me on that, because I
(44:37):
don't know which show she's on now. I don't know
the Valley. No, the Valley is not going to be here.
They're not going to be here. No, actually, Branny, but
when you come to Miami, you can call us. You
can call us and we can tell you all ours
horrible stories. We can all compare horrible stories, horrible day.
I mean, I'm just afraid that maybe like he's gonna
come back and he's going to tell her like, you know,
(45:00):
give me a chance, you know, maybe all change. Yeah,
you know, is they're like real change, you know, yes,
and some people there is. I mean, I mean I don't.
I mean, we can DIAGNOSTI forty five people know he's
not changing that ship is said. I mean the only
thing that could change with the proper help and medication
(45:23):
could be his right his behaviors, his mood swings, but
which obviously affected her a lot, because you know, one day,
I'm sure he was insulting her and the next day
he was like, yeah, but who can live like that? Yeah,
but then now he's going to justify that. So now
he's on a medication where he can regulate those moodswings
and those behaviors. Well, let me tell you something. Everybody
just comes down to how much how much she's in
(45:44):
love with it, and that's when it comes out.
Speaker 1 (45:46):
I'm actually proud of it for getting up and going again,
because some people get addicted to that kind of treatment.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Like the highs and the lows. Some people get addicted
to it just staying in the bad person. That makes
you feel bad, and it makes you feel good and
it makes you and I think it's like a trauma bond. Yeah,
it's like toxic, but like it's like I feel really
really good and you feel really really bad. Yeah, but
you just like become used to it. It's a good
lot for her to get up and walk out, so
(46:11):
I applaud her. There's not a lot of you have
the strength to do that. Yeah, I'm very I'm very
happy that she did that well too, because you can
see that they had like a really bad relationship. I
think there was definitely more bad than good. He's a
naughty boy because he looks like he can be like
a lot of trouble. Let's see who's going to pick
him up now? Well, I mean he's always been the
(46:33):
kind of guy that's always had somebody. I mean when
you're in the public eye, you know, you're like they
see you talking to somebody. He's always been like a
cute guy and you know, very nice, very personable, like
charming and you know, at least the times that you
know that's what I know about him. I know that
there's another side to him and a lot of people
say ugly things about him, and if you watch him
on the show the same I'm.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Sure he was charming with you because he's extra chart
just year these girls.
Speaker 2 (47:00):
This was years ago when we first did our show
that actually they had just started their show too, and
we have the upfronts in New York and you know,
we all met there shows we're all starting our season one. Well,
very young and naive. But the thing is that they're
already forty five years old. They're still don't they're actually
doing the same thing. So it's like, I'm happy that
(47:20):
at least you took control of that and say, you
know what, I'm forty five years old. I've gone, you know,
away with all this, but I want to take control
of my life and see what the hell is wrong
with you?
Speaker 1 (47:30):
He's fixing his head on his shoulders, not the other head.
So see how that I don't know that he's never
gonna want to fix. That's never ready fix. How do
you know when a partner has really changed, if they've
really done to change when they said they're going to change.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Well, I mean, first of all, you have to give
it time or not. I mean you have to there's
really it depends that we need them to change and
what they're changing it. You know, it's so complicated. You know,
you have to have like injuries, what is it like
in their case? I don't know what the change would
have been you know, in this case, if the medication
is going to help him, you know, change those things
(48:11):
that they were working on. You know, I feel like
there's certain personality traits and disorders that don't change. So
you know, I haven't studied him, so well, yeah, I don't.
I don't know. I don't have enough information to know that.
I just I've never But at the end of the day, really,
my friend, if you want to do it right, So
(48:33):
if if Jack really wants to do it, he can change.
I believe I want to hang out to see if
somebody actually changes. I don't think through certain agers just
don't check you are you are. People hit like rock Bottom,
you know, and it's like a life changing thing. That's true.
And he has a young son. He knows that Brittie's
a good woman. You know, it would be probably to
(48:54):
his advantage to stay there. If he's in love with Brittany,
I think she would be better off with him without
him without and I think he would be better off
with her because he was with for eight years and
I never thought that he would stay with her that long. Well, yeah,
but you know what I mean. Somarw a lot of
man I'm with you, my friend. He lost a good
(49:14):
one to what I'm saying, you know, so you know,
for for himself, I'm happy that he was. You know,
he's getting some help. We wish him well, hopefully he
gets on the right road. And I am pathetic with
people that have mental illness absolutely. And you know, my
mom looked at Carter, so you know that, and I
was always like, you know, telling her what I would
see patients. You know that I would have worked with her.
(49:35):
Iould like, oh me. You know, back there there was
no hip hop, so you know my mom would share.
And I always had so much empathy myrishol, because it's
like when you know, when you lose your head. You
know a lot of your actions are based on your
your yeah and your thoughts. So it's like I'm not
giving excuses for them, but after you understand it, okay,
because you have this condition, you acted in this way.
(49:57):
Your thoughts can make you a break you that's it.
And when you can't control them, you're a prisoner and
you are stuck, you know. I mean she's been separated
from him already six months or whatever. Maybe I would
you know, a lot of people get divorced and get
back together. So maybe don't do it, you know, No,
I'm just saying, I know, who knows, like maybe two
or three years from now, you know, he's has his
(50:19):
life in order and there's still in love, and I
want to try again. I mean, nothing's impossible, but for now,
I feel that she needs to stay strong, strong, and yes,
support him and help them because he's a father of
your child and you want him to do well, because
nobody wants to see the father of your son doing
bad and you want to have him around. So with
that being said, I think she needs to continue with
(50:42):
her plans of divorce and or at least separation, and
support him, you know, as far as his mental health struggle,
goals and journey, and you know, I wish them both
the best because it's really hard to be going through
something like this publicly, and hard for the baby too.
Speaker 1 (50:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (51:00):
Luckily he's still young and he seems to be a
good dad as far as going to see him, you know,
allike Brad, you know, unlike the unresisted, irresistible Brad. I
think they threw Brad out and shunned him, is what
I'm thinking. That they're like, get out. That's that's Brad's narrative.
That's talked to Brad. That's just my witchy My my
(51:23):
witchy thing is that Angelina's not a witch like I
used to think she was, even though she paid those
characters in the villain. But she's actually an amazing human
being and human activist and she helps everyone. And she's
been a wonderful mother for like the last eight years.
I mean, or I mean that's that's all I know.
For eight years, Like she gave up her career and
(51:46):
and she's been with her children, and you can see
that she's at peace.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
I'm just by the interview, and it was so refreshing
that they just focused on her and her family and
and on her acting career. Right well, they couldn't drag
brand anymore. That was enough. He've been dragged. He did
that to himself. Oh Glad dragged him. We're gonna bring you.
Why are you defending the Ben? I don't know to
(52:11):
talk about Ben Jlo? Thank god, thank you, thank god
I wasn't here. I would have been sticking up for Ben.
I don't know, but I'm glad I wasn't here to
talk about because to talk about but we needed I
have to give you some closure. I'm good, I'm glad
I wasn't here for that. Thank you all right, well,
thank you very much guys. Thank you for listening. See
