Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is He Said a yadiho with Eric Winter and
Rosalind Fantas. Okay, Hello, Hello, welcome back to another episode
of He Said, He Said. We're back at that again.
Roslyn is traveling doing a job. I don't know if
she spoke about this job before, so I don't know
if it's something that she's not allowed to release yet,
(00:22):
but I will say it's been one of her least
favorite jobs she's ever done. It's a tough thing when
you kind of get you buy into something that you
expected one thing and it's turned out to be something else.
So she's having to do it and finish it contractually,
but it's been very tricky. I guess we'll talk more
about it later because I don't know what she has
(00:43):
revealed about it. It's a cool project, It is pretty cool,
but you know, if something doesn't make you totally happy,
you got to kind of roll with it and figure
it out. Because she's tied to it. With that said,
she is plugging away in New York for a few
days while I am here on More Rookie. We are
in season eight already about six episodes in which has
(01:06):
been pretty good, moving smooth. Everything's going great. Kids are
back in school, which was kind of an odd, odd
start to things given that they had a few days
on than a holiday, and now they're back for their
full firs first full week excuse me, well not not
even a full week because of the holiday, so it's
just kind of a scattered start. But everything's been running
(01:28):
pretty smooth. I would say on that front. At Rozland
had more bad luck, like last week after the whole
incident with her with her head and everything. You know,
when she hit her head in her arm. I don't
know if we talked about that last podcast, but a
baseball with the kids playing in the backyard, Dale and
his friend got thrown super hard and hit her in
the back of the head. So she had a rough
(01:49):
start as the kids headed back to school. But she's
doing okay. She's doing okay, and life is good. Listen,
thank you everybody for all your online support with the
movie premiere in Puerto Rico Diadio muheada Cafe and it's
been I have to say, listen, I don't know a
ton about movies that have dropped in Puerto Rico, but
(02:10):
it's been a bit of a revolution on the film
side in Puerto Rico, which is huge. The support has
been massive. The premiere was incredible. I'm so glad I
was able to get out of work and be there
for her big moment having directed this and to be
with the rest of the cast. I play a small
part in this movie, but it's been a labor of
love and our company produced it. And to see how
(02:34):
Puerto Rico has shown up for this movie is mind blowing.
I mean it is. The stats literally, I mean, even
for that little small market, right you're competing with every
major studio in Hollywood releasing big movies there. It's been
number one every week at the box office, every day
at the box office, every single day, never having a
drop off against every studio film. It's broken records for
(02:58):
I want to say, even like in the last decade
of people coming to movies in Puerto Rico, especially certain
demographics showing up that have like pretty much abandoned going
to movies. It's been huge. It's been huge, So hats
off to her and the whole cast. What an amazing
support coming from the island. And I think it's going
to be something that everybody's excited about because local film,
(03:19):
even though you know this is produced locally, you know,
with the government giving a grant and being a part
of it, but showing what local filmmaking can do. And
it's still a bit, you know, it's a big universal story,
which is great. So it's going to have some a
small release in select theaters in the US, then it
will go video on demand and hopefully land itself at
a streaming platform ultimately where you can watch it whenever
(03:41):
you want. But to see something like this that she
you know, dreamt up, you know, on her own put
you know, started typing on the type on the computer,
on type right on the computer, just writing a script
out of nowhere. She's not, you know, formally trained as
a writer, not formally trained, you know. It has directed
her a short and this is her first time doing
a full length feature and never directed anything before that.
(04:02):
To see this kind of outcome is massive. And the
reviews of ben Stellar, the fan reviews, not just critical reviews,
but the fan reviews have been amazing. People showing up
in massive groups, women coming out, just supporting women and
the storytelling. It's it's been really really special. So thank
you everybody in Puerto Rico for being there. Everybody else,
(04:23):
I know a lot. We've got a lot of comments
on social When can we see it? Be patient, It
will be within the next few months. I'm sure after
it does a small run in theaters in the US,
then you'll be able to, you know, rented by it,
et cetera. Don't critique my Spanish too much. It's very
bad in the movie. I mean, it does what it's
supposed to be. I'm not supposed to be perfect, perfectly
(04:43):
fluent in Spanish, but you know that said, Puerto Rico
is an amazing trip. You saw a lot of maybe
TikTok clips of us at the Bad Bunny Residency, which
was a pretty epic concert. I get all the hype.
It's also a movement in Puerto Rico. We had a
funny clip that went a bit viral, people thinking that
(05:03):
Rosland was trying to, you know, be like doing something
but put her hand on my face. But it was
kind of a joke. We were on the jumbo tron
and I looked right in the camera and I just
told the entire audience the audio move headed cafes out
in theaters as a joke. No one could hear it.
It's just I was mouthing it, and so she got
super embarrassed and it was very funny. But there was
a couple of clips of me looking ridiculous next to
(05:26):
Bad Bunny and listen, I love his music. I don't
obviously understand a ton of Spanish. I get little bits,
but it was funny being on the JumboTron and we
had a lot of fun with the whole cast and
everybody there. So great experience. If anybody gets to Puerto
Rico for that, I know, I mean, it's it's sold
out every single you know night, it's it's it's running
(05:46):
throughout its entire time in Puerto Rico. So if you
can get there and you can do it, definitely something
I recommend one hundred percent. We also avoided the hurricane
that was coming through that caused a lot of rain
and and some issues. Thankfully I was able to get
back to work. But trip was amazing with the kids,
really really nice get away before school started back up.
(06:09):
And that's about all that's been going on on that
front with us. You know, typical back to the grind,
like everybody is juggling getting the kids back in school.
But I tell you it's I love the summer getting
away with the kids, spending that quality time with them,
and then you realize, wow, you really have to fill
a lot of time during the day, whether it's camps,
(06:30):
whether it's just you know, trips, whether it's play dates.
You you know, you realize how much school impacts not
just what you can get done in a day, but
also just for the kids to feel stimulated and inspired
to be out there doing and learning new things. Which
is funny because it brings up one of the topics
that the producers shared with me today about Kim Gardashian
(06:51):
saying kids should not have homework. Listen, I hear what
she's saying her well, but I have some thoughts on this.
You know she's gonna say her reason why is kids
are in school for eight hours a day. There are
a lot of things I think kids should not have.
I don't think they should have phones a school. That
would be one thing I would eliminate. I don't know
how Kim would feel about that. I'm sure you know
(07:12):
my kid has a phone and they tell them they
can't be on it, But I would just say they
shouldn't even be allowed to bring them to school. Social
media should be banned for kids at that age one
hundred percent talk about things that take away from you know,
our distraction. I don't think they should have it. Now.
That said, I hear what she's saying that they're in
school eight hours a day, and then after school they
(07:33):
want family time. They have athletics, they have you know,
other after school activities. They're busy. Here's the thing. They're
in school for eight hours. They're not doing school for
eight hours. They have electives that don't you know PE.
You know they're out busy at Sometimes they're active, sometimes
they're not. I mean, I hear stories about what goes
on in PE, and it's not that intense. They are
(07:55):
learning in those groups of classes, those blocks as much
as they can hand in that short period of time.
And then they have their lunch break, they have their
they transfer from class to class, they're hanging out with friends,
they have study hall. There's a lot if they're doing
what they should be doing during study hall, they might
get a lot of that homework done. At least at
my kid's school. Now, other schools that don't have these
(08:18):
blocks set up that way, I don't know that you
can accomplish teaching everything within a class time and get
it all in to not have any homework. If your
kid's a quick learner, if your kid's fast, they probably
could knock out all that working class. But not every
kid learns at that pace. So if you were to
really step back and say, okay, kids that are homeschooled,
(08:41):
they probably only go to school three hours four hours max.
A day, definitely not eight. So it tells you how
much of that time really is used in school, and
the homeschool kids don't really have homework. They do their
school and they're out. So I don't know if what
she's saying is at actually feasible, if it's something that
(09:01):
could be accomplished to give in homeschool, kids generally take
the required classes and they can take more courses if
they want to to stay, you know, to learn more,
and just whether it's ap classes or certain things that
aren't required. But I don't think you could accomplish that
in the school setting. So I would say, if kid
wants no homeworks, she probably has to go to homeschool.
(09:21):
But then if you want like a normal school life
for your kids, then I don't think it's possible, honestly
for every kid to knock out all their school work.
And learn what needs to be done within a yearly curriculum.
You could start eliminating things from the day so their
school day is shorter and make it more concise, or
use that extra time just for homework, but then the
kids would be studying NonStop and that they'd be annoyed
(09:42):
with that too. If all day at school it was nothing,
but there weren't enough breaks or time to clear their mind.
So definitely an interesting topic of conversation. I don't know
if that's a smooth, easy solution honestly in the school system,
but I would have a bigger things I sort of
to gripe about within the school setting that I think
kids should not be allowed to have, et cetera, et cetera.
(10:05):
I do think it's tough. You know. I have a
daughter that's very active after school. My son is now
getting more active, and you definitely get done, and you
got to get back late, and you got to do homework,
and it's a grind. So it's a lot. It's a lot.
I don't know. I'd mean more about solutions versus complain
about a problem, because I don't know that the solutions
that simple. Another interesting topic, looks I've been following this
(10:35):
on TikTok funny enough, and that's how I found out
about it. But maybe I'm behind the times on this,
but I people have been paying attention to what's going
on with the Clippers and Bomber and Kawhi Leonard. Really
interesting topic of conversation about if there was money promised
to Kawhi through a false charity company that Bomber own
(10:59):
and a way of avoiding the salary cap in the
NBA to make sure he's paid more to be on
the team. Really fascinating stuff that I want people to
look into online because they're saying if this was to
go down and actually be found to be fraud, Bomber
could lose the team and he could actually have the
Clippers pulled away from It. Wouldn't be as simple as
like draft choices things like that. I don't know. It
(11:22):
might they have to really prove a lot of facts
to take a team away from an owner. There's been
some severe stuff that's gone on in many leagues and
nothing's been taken away from people until the previous Clippers owner.
Obviously that was a big one. But I wonder if
more team owners are doing stuff like this, finding workarounds
with Caps to make sure that they can get a
player to take a minimum or reduce their new contract
(11:49):
fee in order to bring in better other players that
could help better their roster. So interesting fact something to
look into that I don't have the answer to, but everybody,
Steve and everybody's been talking about this with regards to
the Clippers, and it could be a big, a big
issue for them as a team. Another topic that I
thought was interesting that came up recently was Luis Guzman
(12:11):
being interviewed talking about, you know, his experience with other castmates,
people he's worked with. Obviously, Wednesday season two is coming out,
so he's promoting that. You know, he's raving about his
co stars on that show, and then when asked about
j Lo, his response was, she's okay, listen. This is
what I'll tell you that people don't always and we've
talked about it a bit before on this podcast. What
(12:34):
people see on TV or in movies when it comes
to co stars and the dynamics on a set, it's
not what everyone feels or thinks when they're watching a
final product. It is a very tricky, complicated environment most
of the time with a lot of egos. And that's
(12:56):
not just on camera egos, it's off camera egos. It's
this is a very ego driven business period. So what
fans see in a final product might always feel like, Wow,
look at that chemistry. Look how amazing these people get along.
I mean, there's many, many stories about Bruce Willis and
Sybil Shepherd on Moonlighting. They couldn't stand each other, yet
(13:17):
had some of the best on camera chemistry of any
television show at that time. And we've said this before
in the podcast. We've talked about it. Listen, love and
hate both resonates in people's emotional you know, psyche, right,
So you see an emotion, someone can hate somebody, but
it's still giving you a reaction. It's giving you a
(13:39):
reaction to their emotion and their feelings, and it's just
as powerful. So it's not always what it looks like
on camera as far as our work environment goes, or
as far as relationships go. So maybe his experience with
j LO wasn't great. I'm sure other people have had
better ones than his, But you know I have I had.
(14:00):
I had some bad experiences one hundred percent. Have I
had more good than bad. Definitely, I've been fortunate in
that regard. I think I've spoken on the podcast to
one of my worst TV experiences with an actor, and
it was awful. It was awful. I'll never forget it
is a veteran, seasoned actor who just treated me like crap.
And I was just a guest star on a TV show,
(14:21):
one of my early guest stars, and he was a jerk,
a jerk. So it happens. It happens a lot, and
that's part of navigating this business. But it's kind of
like even in any work environment, right you can work
with people you don't like and you have to deal
with them every day. It's a little bit different when
you're on camera and you're having to act opposite to
someone who you can't stand or they can't stand you,
(14:43):
and for whatever reason that is, even if you didn't
give them a good one, they just don't like you,
and you have to somehow navigate the behavior and things
that people will pull. There are many, I mean, I
have so many stories of friends and people that have
worked on toxic sets where you know people won't even
make eye contact a scene just to avoid and they
will maybe make eye contact for a split second just
(15:05):
so the director gets that shot they want, and then
they won't talk to each other the whole rest of
the scene. There's been people that I've had to work
with just stand ins. A stand in is a person
that usually stands in for the lead actor while they're
trying to mark and block and light the scene. And
there are people that refuse to work opposite other people
in moments, and they say, just act opposite the stand in,
and the stand in has to read lines. That's what
(15:27):
happened to me in my bad experience, where a veteran
actor basically for whatever reason, decided he was going to
mess up my day and told all the cast to
go home and just made me act opposite a bunch
of stand ins reading on pages that didn't know the
lines because that's not their job. And he did it
for no reason at all other than just have a
power flex. Some people do it just because they can't
(15:48):
stand the other person and don't want to be in
the same vicinity. So everybody kind of gets that you
have to navigate this business to figure out how to
work through toxic behavior, bad personalities and still somehow do
your job and put good content out there where you
get the scene and you're getting to do what you
want to do. So that's just part of our business.
(16:11):
But that's everything I mean for him to say she
was okay. He didn't say anything terrible. He just didn't
vibe with her, and that's normal. That happens with people
in every workspace. So can't really fault too much of
that comment as being a big red flag. But it's
something that I think people should know, and they hear
about it a lot. In our industry. This is very common,
(16:31):
and in all industries, you know, not everybody's happy at
their job with their coworkers, but it's definitely something something
to navigate. I'm looking forward to more fan questions, I
have to say too. I'm going to have some time
where I'm gonna be doing podcasts on my own coming up.
Roz is going to be traveling again for work for
a little bit, so I want to make sure that
everybody gets some questions in some thoughts. I love being
(16:54):
able to answer what fans have in mind, whether it's
relationship based or whether it's work based, or if you
have questions about you know, the show and things like that,
I can't really answer it. I get asked things all
the time. And it's you know, I can't sit there.
I used to be called the King of spoilers, and
I was never really given that many spoilers. But you know,
send me questions, send your thoughts. A few of the
(17:15):
things going on. Listen. We are continuing to make great
moves with Palm Republic, which has been exciting that you
I've told you before. We've expanded into two different markets
with Texas and California. So we have more signings that
will be coming up. Check my my Instagram as well
as Palm Republic's Instagram, and if you're not following us yet,
by the way, give us a follow at Palm Republic Rum.
(17:35):
Make sure you check us out on Instagram and TikTok.
But we have more signings going on that are going
to be coming up in Texas. We're gonna be doing
Houston this time, We're gonna be doing Dallas. This is
all within like the next month or so. I'm going
to have a couple more in Los Angeles. The Palm
Republic support, I'm telling you over and over, it blows
my mind. The fan gifts that come in, people just
obviously genuinely loving the liquid and going back and buying more,
(17:57):
but just being there for me as a young entrepreneur.
And you know they're you're a fan of mine, and
I get that you want to support me, but the
way the support has been so powerful it blows my mind.
I didn't expect it to be this strong, because you
just never know, and I want to say thank you.
So we have a lot more stuff coming up with
Palm Republic new merge. We have some I can't even
(18:19):
tell you about some of the exciting things we have
coming up with new looks, new styles, new things. I'm
not going to spoil too much, but but be on
the lookout because Palm Republic's doing some great things right
now and continuing to grow. So that's been a lot
of fun as well. That's one thing about our business.
We've talked about it many times, but I'm starting to
(18:39):
see in a lot of spaces just diversified. Diversify the
things that bring you joy and what inspires you to
stay thinking creatively, even if you're in a job. I've
been asked this a lot where I've done you know, cameos,
people reaching out to me wanting to talk and they're
stuck in a rut at their job, they just don't
know what to do. And listen, neverybe can just up
and leave their job. They need to make money. But
(19:00):
if you can find a creative outlet, something that stimulates
you outside of your daily activities. I know it's hard
if you're juggling family life, kids, all that, but find
things that inspire you and bring you creativity outside of
your job. It's not as easy to go out and
start a company. That's tough, I know, but it's a
lot more work as well. But I think it's important.
(19:21):
I'm realizing that more and more as time has gone on,
that the more I can feel inspired and oh, just
diversify things that are fun to me, I push through
every other aspect of my day much smoother, and it's just,
you know, these are the things you grow and learn
with over time. But I wanted to share a little
bit of that because it's been it's been very fun,
(19:44):
you know, continuing to dive in constantly on Palm Republic
and how that inspires me in other ways. Now talking
about my guitar lessons, that's been a disaster. That's a joke.
I haven't even gone back to guitar, and gosh, I
don't even know how long since I started shooting last year.
It's terrible. I get asked that a lot as we well,
how's guitar going. It's awful. I'm not gonna lie. I
need to step up. It's also hard, and that's the
(20:06):
problem is I have. You know, when something becomes difficult,
it's very easy to just put it down and go, Okay,
I'm going to go onto something else. And that's what
I've kind of done. And I need to get back
and snap out of it and work at it because
it was bringing me a lot of joy and creativity
when I was just trying to learn something new. But
it's time consuming for sure. So I will say that
(20:27):
without question, all right, and before I wrap up, I
have this is one thing I do want to get
out there, and I want some advice from you all,
because I know I've been here answering a lot of
your questions. But I want you all to chime in.
Who is raising a teenager right now? Let's just say
it can be a teenage girl, boy, doesn't really matter.
But I'm in that. We're in that phase right now,
trying to keep Sabella focus on her goals. You're starting
(20:51):
to feel that pickup with parties, you know, gatherings where listen,
I did all this. I know I was involve going
to a lot of you know, hanging out with my friends,
go having little parties things like that, and most of
the time it was innocent, but there's many times where
just dumb things would happen. Right, I want some parenting
advice about two things. One, how are you managing that?
(21:15):
How are you handling it? Are you letting your kid
go to every single party so they don't feel like
they're missing out, so they can feel like they're still
you know, in the loop, in the in the know
with all their friends, or are you putting your foot
down a little bit and trying to balance it? Obviously
I know the easy answer of who's the crowd? And
you know, some things are okay and some things are,
but I also am trying to keep the bell out
(21:36):
a place where you don't have to be at every
single thing. You don't need to feel like you have
to be there is what makes it cool. You don't
have to feel like that, just if it's a close
friend and you want to be at that party or
you want to see your friends. I get it, but
I don't feel the need to get her to every
single gathering or get together or bar mitsva bombits about
all these birthday party everything going on. She's had more
(22:00):
in seventh grade than she had in a while. But
to me, it's just again, it opens up a lot
of distractions, and that is very challenging for sure, and
there's already so many distractions at this age. That's my
first question. The second thing is teenagers and the attitudes.
I know this is lifelong age. You know, this is
a question that's going on for everybody all the time.
But I'm finding that I'm arguing more with my daughter
(22:24):
now than ever. And I know this is normal at times,
and it's her job to push my buttons and challenge me.
But any parenting advice on do you just walk away
at times? I have a daughter that likes to negotiate,
and I don't remember negotiating this much as a kid.
I don't think I was allowed to. I know there's
a healthy component to that, but there's also like I
need to start probably walking away before I blow my fuse,
(22:47):
you know, and get annoyed by the fact that she's
just not accepting the answer. But seriously, chime in, let
me know how many people are in this same place
right now who's feeling that stress of a teenager. And
if it's or if you're just blessed and your kid
is super easy and smooth and it's all going great,
good for you. I'm happy for you, I really am.
(23:08):
But I want some parenting advice a little bit to
help me balance the ups and downs of the teenagers.
All right, well, I hope that's I hope that was
a good listen for today. We'll be back again. Ros
and I together hopefully have a guest or if not,
answer some great questions. And until next time, I wish
you all the best. Thanks for listening. Don't forget to
write us a review and tell us what you think.
