Everybody it's Ramona radio. I'm Eric and I've got a very special guest in studio. Miss Rocky. What's that happening?
(00:07):
So you came down to the studio to record a spot? Yes for for Josie's hideout. They do this big thing every year
Yeah, I put on an event called right out to the hideout for autism every year
Okay, and so break it down. What's that? What's what's the whole point?
So I began right out to the hideout for autism to have an event from Josie's hideout
That comes out from us because we do get a lot of events
(00:30):
but to have an event that Josie's puts on ourselves to put out and something that I know a lot about is
Autism my
Yeah, my son's autistic. So he's the inspiration behind the whole thing, which is super fun because
He gets to come to the event and everyone gets to meet him and he goes around fist-bumping everybody and you know
(00:52):
Wants to say hi and everyone gets to see the children that they're donating to right, right
And so do do so is this open to those with autism or it's not like that
So so it's a family event so the whole family can come out
Yeah
So everyone pretty much knows someone on the spectrum and if you don't that's the day to meet someone
So that way, you know who you're donating to that day
(01:13):
I put up a lot of signs that says, you know what to expect for today
You may experience an interaction with children who are nonverbal you may see a couple meltdowns and that's okay
Because we're all accepting here and we're understanding and this is why we're creating these bags to help make those
coping mechanisms to help
limit the amount of meltdowns that happen at home when you're in the classroom because these kids have this bag to refer to
(01:39):
So so help help me understand for those that aren't completely familiar with what autism is
How would how would how do you describe what autism really is? So everyone said so what they say is is that everyone is on the spectrum
It just depends on where you are on the spectrum. For example, my son. He's nonverbal
We just recently though started he got to say mom for the first time like six months ago. How old is your son?
(02:01):
He's seven. Oh, wow
So that was an emotional moment. It was so exciting and then after that then I got our first sentence
which was at Costco and
He was having meltdown because we won't go back to the toy area and it's
Costco during Thanksgiving week, which is like the Hunger Games, right? Right, right. Did you have your bow and arrow?
(02:25):
You're ready to take my two fingers
She's got her way that arms like she goes it just I'm gonna I'm gonna someone's going down
I literally made an announcement because everyone's carts are like ramming each other
I'm like, I'm like it is not the Hunger Games. There is enough food for everyone calm down like, you know
(02:46):
But my son he ended up, you know laying on the floor and you don't necessarily want to pick up children when they're having a
Like an episode because a lot of times I've learned that
They don't even know that they're doing it and when they come out of it, they don't even know what happened
it's almost kind of like
It's not a seizure but like how when people have a seizure they don't even
(03:10):
Remember anything that happened during that entire time
And I noticed that a lot with my son and it can be trying at times and difficult, but that's okay
You just have to figure out the way that they communicate, right?
So my son got out the sentence in the middle of Costco Hunger Games and said I don't know you don't touch me
(03:31):
Now what do you think made him say that?
He wanted me not to like keep the line moving with him because we
And he wanted to go back to the kids. Oh, that's why area because of course they have all the Christmas stuff
I'm like, we've already been in there. We already have things in the cart for that like but yeah, so I was like
Oh, well, we got our first sentence. So I don't know whether to start running cuz someone's probably gonna come after me
(03:54):
You know, I'm like high five
What heads you want to celebrate on the other head you're like, I wish you found a whole bunch of other sentences that you could have said
at that moment
I just had to look at my daughter and I'm like, I'm like, can you get your brother?
I bet you there's moments like that with your son that happened quite often where you're like both proud and
(04:19):
And it could be challenging at times too, right? Yeah, so
I mean, it's really fun when you get to experience things with your kids for the first time
You know just anyone whenever you have kids and they get to you know, go to the movies for the first time
Everything is so new and so exciting
but what makes it I
Feel like almost even better with my son because he's on the spectrum is
(04:42):
He can't communicate verbally with me where he's at on the spectrum. So he should be
Like you can see his face light up. You can see all those emotions just running through him and he's so so excited
And so with that it's like you take him to SeaWorld or something and he's just in amazement
Right now we say, you know, he'll tell me that's amazing
(05:05):
That's amazing
So he's telling you at that point he's like at that point
Yeah
but the way that he like just puts out his emotions and
Just he is over the moon. So it's fun to see like, you know, I'm sure as you know kids get older
My kids are younger
But teenagers, you know, yeah, that's cool. I'm sure you know, I know how I acted, you know
(05:26):
Try and be all cool
But I'm like I hope that never ends with him because it's so cool to see someone get so excited and not mask it
It's just the raw emotion of things. How cool is that?
It's just the raw emotion of things and it's so cool. So I'm like it's like
I think it's like I think it's like he's like he's like, I don't know what he's like
He's like, I'm like, I'm like, I feel like you know, I'm like, I'm like, I feel like I'm like, I'm like
(05:51):
How cool is that and one hand I'm jealous of that I know I know like you said I wish everybody would do that
Just yeah, but I mean, that's the thing is is one of the reasons I do this is and I just recently wrote a speech
For getting people to donate so people can understand a little bit more of where I'm coming from is, you know, Elon Musk
It's learning how to channel it or or leverage it or is this something they do naturally on their own or with with proper guidance?
(06:18):
Externally you can so with this they
Everyone like I said, the spectrum is very wide
One of the new logos they just came out with for autism
It looks like a thumbprint and it has all the different colors in it because no person is exactly the same
we can try different things but all
treatment not necessarily treatments, but
educational plans and things like that are
(06:41):
Made and tailored to each individual
so with that it's
Depends on where you are on the spectrum, but typically kids that are on the spectrum or individuals that are they
Find a niche. I mean there's some things that my son will do and I'll be like I could try that every day for a year
And I'm never gonna nail us on first time. He just does it Wow no problem
(07:04):
And so so they just dial into something that they
Are take a liking to and then they would hyper focus on it like it's something that they just completely it is
My son is dinosaurs and sound effects
He's real good at sound effects if you see us ever in the grocery store
And you hear you think you're watching a scene from fast in the furious, right?
(07:24):
It's no it's me and Walter coming around a corner
I have a nephew who's autistic okay, and he he's all about movies
So he can tell you dates the movie came out and who the actors were and the directors and the sound producers and stuff
Like that, and he's just that's his thing right
I mean, then that's he lives in that world all the time of understanding movies
(07:48):
Yeah, and so I find it fascinating
I mean I guess I you know and I don't want to sound too cliche
But you know a lot of people have seen the movie Rain Man understand them
You know or kind of witness what that is and what do they call that savant or something like that something like it's something along that lines
We're we're there's something mm-hmm just something, but it's just giving these kids the tools to like actually
(08:13):
you know
overcome these harder parts where there's a there's a kid online and him and his mother are autistic and
The son was nonverbal up until his teenage years and I it's so fascinating
I'll have to figure out what his name is online, but he's now verbal and
He explains what it's like to be nonverbal
(08:37):
Oh, no, that's got to be weird from his perspective right so his perspective. I mean it's easy for us to assume
Mm-hmm right but for him to to to define it
Yeah, so I mean one of the things is he kind of described it as you know being underwater and everyone's walking above the water
You're you try and ask for help, but you can't reach and so being on here
(08:59):
So being nonverbal is not an elective choice no but for them. Mm-hmm. Oh wow
So everything's just wired a little bit differently, and that's okay because I mean it gives
It gives him that niche into different things. I mean they say a lot of CEOs and stuff like that are
on the autism spectrum because you know you work for some big large corporate companies, and you're like
(09:20):
There's a specific way to do things. This is the way. This is the only way. We're not diverting from it. Don't
Because that's the successful way they have found the niche as to exactly why that works
So I'm like well that makes a lot more sense now in some of the places that I've worked
I'll be them now so the the write-off for the hideout you one of the things you're working on is is what do you call them?
(09:40):
Sensory bags yes sensory bags, and so what do those do so is that that's so important
So these ones are important because it can be hard to control all your emotions one if you're nonverbal
To even if you are verbal it's hard for kids to get out exactly how they're feeling I mean even adults
It's hard for us to get out those feelings. Oh, yeah
So I know that feeling and it's you know it's a coping mechanism that they themselves can learn so I create these bags
(10:07):
They'll be like noise cancelling headphones for the younger kids
I get earbuds for the older kids because they don't like wearing the big headphones because they want to be with their friends
And they want to you know blend in a little bit more sometimes
That's what I've been told and so that's what I cater to in the bag whatever you guys whatever they feel
I'm most certainly happy to do that
I put in talking remote so they can hit buttons with pictures on it so they nonverbal can tell you
(10:32):
Well, I see okay, all right
I just recently came across these new toothbrushes that I put in for all the younger kids
And it's three-sided toothbrushes because the sensory of brushing their teeth. I know it's a struggle for me
it's a struggle for a couple of my other friends that have kids on the spectrum and
With these three-sided toothbrushes you literally just put it on the teeth
(10:52):
And you can just go for it and get it done much much faster and right effective
I get the classrooms
a lot of items to where they can be used in a group participation or when things get a little bit more
Hectic sometimes in the classroom because there's a lot of kids in these classes and I create I
(11:17):
Create these bags, and I add body socks into them
So a body sock imagine a pillowcase okay that zips in the middle, okay?
With that you can put your put your shoulders arms legs all in it
Everything's your head, okay
Your head's the only thing sticking out
But it gives them that motion of being able to stretch out their arms and their legs and be fully covered and to just have that
(11:41):
pressure even I do
weighted vests for some of the classrooms to that need it
Because those do break in the sandbags need to be replenished
Okay, and it's kind of like when your nervous system is really
It's kind of like when your nervous system goes
Hey wire like when you're having a panic attack
They one of the best things that you can do is actually try and match your breathing to another person and the best way
(12:05):
You can do that is by hugging another person
So by putting that pressure all over your body when someone gives you that big bear hug yeah it it calms you down
But then you also start matching that person's breathing
Unintentionally you just start doing it. It's a calming thing so with the weighted vest
What it does is basically just gives them a big hug the whole time. I like big hugs everybody likes
(12:26):
I want to hug all the time. I'm a so
But I can understand I can appreciate that I can appreciate that
So these bags let the kids
When they start to feel as if they're becoming overwhelmed and they can go pick something out of the bag that it is their bag
So everything in that bag is theirs that sharing can be difficult for any kid
But this bag is specifically theirs
(12:49):
And I make them all different colors and stuff and put different designs on so do you have to do you like get?
A list of names and then go what their needs are and then custom design one bag per kit
Or is these one bag they're all the same and then so depending on
The classrooms I talked to I try and tackle the severe moderate classrooms first
And then I work my way out of it a little bit if there's a couple of students that are in general ed
(13:16):
Then they may need just something a little bit different, okay?
Especially with like older kids or even the younger ones sometimes
I'll ask like, you know, what is something that like they cannot have in there or what is something that you would say?
That would be super helpful and they'll be like, you know, I have two students that absolutely love light up things
They need light up stuff. That's what calms them. Okay, great. So I find out from all the schools
(13:39):
How many of you guys need light ups?
light up items and things like that or
Sensory strips you can put on your desk or your phone or bouncing ball things for your feet so that way they stay in their
Seat, but they're still moving right, right. Um, there's bouncing bands, too. And then I
They give me an idea of what they're looking at their class because every year is different and every student is different
(14:01):
So if there's something in particular like you know what?
I know one student that would really really benefit from this if there's a way to get it to us
Canyon like I am moving that to the top right over here like if that's gonna benefit them and it's gonna benefit other students as well
Let's do that. That's cool. So now that right out to the hideout is a fundraiser to make these bags
(14:22):
Yes, so when people do people buy tickets to the fundraiser or do they show up and just donate as they can so people can donate
Starting I usually do it about two months ahead of time. So like in July this year
I started accepting donations if because some people can't make it or whatever the reason maybe where we go to the
You go to Josie's hideout
Oh, I do have a Venmo account that I'll post up and I do all that like, you know
(14:46):
you can directly Venmo right here and that all just sits there until we need to transfer it out and
Then while they're at the event we have raffle tickets, okay
And then we also put on an auction the fun thing with the raffle
I always try and make sure which I think a lot of people are doing now too is every time there's an item
You have a little jar in front of it. You're specifically going in for that item
(15:09):
I see. Okay instead of I remember forever ago
It used to be just put it in the big bowl and you get whatever you get. Oh, I see
I see gotcha gotcha
So they'll buy like what 20 tickets and they can divvy up their tickets in the bowls how yeah
So they can they can weigh their odds last year
We did buy arm lengths and things like that
But to make it go a little bit faster this year what we're gonna do is is you know
(15:30):
This is how much this many tickets is this is how much this many ticket is
I got you cool and then at the end we do also an auction
Nice and this uh, so this is a silent auction or is it an actual on?
So it's an actual oh, it's an auction. You can get someone on the cool auctioneers to be in for now
But I don't we have we have this really I could
Let me hear your auctioneer
(15:54):
I'll save it for later in case my MC doesn't show
You're gonna be at home practice y'all have to be there to see it I wouldn't be good at either
I'd be like somebody said two bucks
Anymore. Well, that's it
That's funny it's for the children let's do it a live auction a live auction the raffle is just raffle
(16:18):
So that's tons of different things Harley-Davidson gives us lots of stuff, which is super fun
And then I go out to the surrounding communities and the different
Restaurants and stores and stuff like that and they do gift certificates and they do
merchandise and stuff like that, so I'll build these bags if they're not already pre-built and
Put them all together. So that way, you know, it's like all oh this one has a bottle of vodka
(16:42):
And it also has you know a t-shirt from the place. I really like and stuff like that. Someone got me a big LED sign
What does a Buena Vesa?
Sign nice like I'm gonna put all my tickets in that one, right?
I'm all kind of on it
But I mean we get everything I mean we get kid baskets we get adult baskets
(17:04):
It's it's for everyone spa things like I'm like, oh, this is for everyone. I love it and you've got Sarah Jade performing
Mm-hmm. She's fantastic. She's something else. I tried finding
Amber and I were going back and forth. She's like we gotta find a band
We gotta find a band and I was like I'm like it just hasn't come to me yet. It's just not right
It's not coming to me yet. Not yet. And then Sarah came and performed inside the hideout during winter and I go that's it
(17:29):
Right. That's what I wanted. Have you heard her new song?
I have heard this one. So good. Yeah, she's we play it on rem on a radio all the time. She sings beautiful
Yeah, so you're gonna give her outfits. Yeah. Oh, yeah
She hits the whole stage and one of the things that caught me is like her
amazing outfits
(17:50):
Like every time I see her I'm like, oh my gosh, I just I want to wear that right like I have a lot of confidence but like
She wears things though. Like she's the only one that can probably make this work. Like if that was on me, they'd say no
What is she wearing everyone looks at her and they're like it's like oh wow
(18:11):
And I was like, well, this is fun
It's a kid event too and like my daughter wants to be a rock star
So she always sees all the girls up there on the station
I want to go up there. So cool. Sarah Jade's a lot of fun
She if you ever a chance to see Sarah Jade in concert have her do her show. She she puts on a show
She does she puts on a great show. Well, I'm excited because I've seen Sarah Jade
Probably a dozen times and you can never see too much of that. So that's cool. It's fun. Her music's cool
(18:35):
Well cool, and then the ride out for the head out is September 14th from 11 to 6
You've got sponsors from everywhere. I do silent raffle raffle take it away
It's big raffle big concert. Mm-hmm and not to mention kids area. I have actually remote or Barona Speedway
one of their drivers is
Their son's autistic and they have a big their car there. Oh, yes. He has a big autism logo on it
(19:00):
He's bringing it out. He's like we can start it up for the kids and they can sit in there if they want
So fire truck will be there
That's always fun
And I'm sure the kids will get a little bit of a stunt show because it's it's shocking that
You know as much sensory and stuff like that say about 95% of the time the kids was hearing sensory
When they're watching these guys pop a wheelie or do a burnout
(19:24):
It's so much fun to see the excitement on the kids
Because and then it's more exciting to see the parents because they're like, oh my gosh, we're in a loud environment
My kid doesn't even care that it's loud
They're in such amazement and like they're enjoying watching their kid be so happy cool
And that's one of the another thing that for those that haven't been to Josie's by the way, it's up in wine wine
(19:45):
Ola, Santa is a bell. Sorry. I know you passed through one. No on the way to San Isabel. No, no
I'm all jacked up. Anyway, it's up in San Isabel. Yes, I like Henshaw. Yes

When you were talking about motorcycles doing tricks and stuff like that, it really is a motorcycle show
(20:10):
Almost every weekend at Josie's. Oh, yeah, you'll see me out there. Yeah, you right? No, I take the videos
So I do a lot of our social media and our funny videos and things so like they'll see me and I'm like hi

We're only open on the weekends, but well, that's during the week is all it's a lot of work
It's a lot of work all the hard work is all the hard work is done on the week
(21:26):
We do weekdays at the weekends you get to party and relax with most people, right? I know I seen you float around float around
All right. All right side from Josie's. Where are you from originally San Diego? You're from San Diego
Originally from San Diego moved to Hawaii for about four and a half years. Now. What are you renewing Hawaii? All of middle school?
Yeah, remember it look like a leaky my my pigeon. Yeah, I can bust some of that out when I need to
(21:53):
Usually comes in handy when I need to switch seats on American Airlines
Had a friend that they're like like oh, we're not sitting together like hold on a minute
I like go up there and they're all local, you know, you know bus it out. That's funny. How's it?
(22:15):
They got me into crying and come on right and then I sit next to the goal. How did you like I'll don't worry about it
Just and when we're there, don't talk I'll talk
That's funny because most people know you from
The bar scene. Yeah, I mean you've been a staple in Ramona Julie and the whole stretch here
(22:37):
Yeah, you've been in a whole bunch of places and calling me a staple. Yeah, I mean you are I mean everybody knows Rocky
I mean everybody's like oh Rockies there Rockies there cuz you kind of float around a little bit
How'd you end up in that industry? Um, my mom when I was eight years old
She began going in and kind of doing like a bar rescue type of thing
Oh really fine dining restaurants Italian restaurants. So since I was eight years old
(23:01):
I've been following my mom going to work with her and doing all that kind of stuff and I just picked it up along the way
And then once I turned 18, then I was like, alright, it's on I'm I'm doing you had all kinds of knowledge experience
And so I was like, I don't know what I want to do. I don't know what I want to do
And I was like, you know what? I I know what to do. I know how to do it and I know the right way to do it
So I'm gonna dive into it and I did and um
(23:27):
I've loved it. I mean, I'm a social butterfly. I mean, that's what it said on all my report cards
She always got the oh on her report card social activities. Oh outstanding. Oh
Plus plus plus plus. Yeah, right. Yeah, literally they would write. She's a social butterfly
And I'm like, it's a teacher's nice way of saying you talk too much exactly
But I have no I guess for me. I have no shame. I will talk to anyone and everyone
(23:54):
Whenever that's fine. I I guess I should have some shame sometimes
Own it. I'm like I'm like the true you hi. I'm rocky nice to meet you
Now I've had a couple of people ask me if Rocky's actually your real name
No, I didn't think so. So my parents had a deal when I was born if I was a girl
(24:15):
My dad got to name me. It was a boy. My mom got to name me. Oh interesting, of course
Just like every other man. They had the biggest crush on Raquel Welch
Well, you kind of gave a little hint here to your a so
Okay, I know
So or at least your dad's age. Yeah. Yeah, and so I ended up with Raquel
All right, and then my mom said no one will call her rocky
(24:39):
Her name is Raquel and now she's like, oh, this is my daughter rocky
Yeah, but the rocky mom, yeah when you became the rocky then she's like I have to concede
Love you mom. And then sometimes on the rock if I'm cooking
Sometimes friends would come over like when I was growing up and I'd always be making dinner and things like oh
Can you smell what the rock is?
(25:02):
Do you like to cook I do like to cook yeah. Yeah, what do you like to cook?
Well, you have a specialty, right? I do. What do you got? It's gonna be my first time
I make filet mignon like once a week. All right, and if I don't have it my dog
Rockies filet mignon place
Just go have fully made on every laughing because we had one night where all four friends came over and I made it and one
(25:26):
Of our friends he helped fix restaurants in the kitchens and stuff like that and get their menus going and smoking all the meats and doing all
The stuff and he's like if I wasn't here, I would have thought a restaurant
He's like, what'd you use them like bare minimum in your damn business? It's rocky secret
But yeah, I
(25:48):
Love to cook. I used to I used in high school
I used to be in a culinary class and like the top of the class we got to go do a
Whole bunch of different things like so when
What's his name Sam the cooking guy? Do you remember Sam the cooking guy?
Yeah, so back then we would go into like this like little villa like that
These like little villas with like this big kitchen in it and while he was performing the cooking show
(26:12):
We'd cook all the food behind stage in this little villa
And then they'd have the waiters come in and grab it and then serve the whole audience
Oh, yeah, cuz he's just definitely one plate. Yeah, right. Yeah, like yeah
So do you have to look up?
So when you do that, do you copy him live while he's doing it?
Or he prepped you guys ahead of time. It's a here's what time. Yeah, I see. Okay. Yeah, so but it was fun. I mean
(26:34):
That's cool. Yeah, it was cool. Do you do you ever?
Aspire to be in the kitchen at a restaurant. I've done it. I've done it and it wasn't because I wanted to
It was more like I can't do anything and I can't help anywhere else other than the kitchen
And so I told everyone to move aside because we were like, oh my god
I can't help anywhere else other than the kitchen and so I told everyone to move aside because we had all new people
(26:58):
Right and I was like move aside
Let's go
We got shit to do
Yeah, and at that point this was years ago and an owner came in and he was like
He's like, did we get someone new? I'm like wearing a baseball cap
I'm like sweats because I came into like help do dishes or something, you know, like where can I help in here?
I can't be in the front like everything's taking too long and I was like, it's me
(27:19):
Hello
He's like, how do you know how to do this? I'm like, I've been working here for seven years. I know the menu
And if you say smite for living young, yeah, right I could do all this shit everyone's three times over everything's going out really quick
I'm like, I'm like, I know
Did you you almost got you almost got the
Yeah planted back there. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, no. No. Thank you. No, I'm really good
(27:43):
You're more the front of the house kind of girl. Yeah, I'm really good at selling one time
I sold a table of gentlemen. There's five of them and I sold them everything from then like their meal time and then things to take home
Including wine to take home and all this dessert to their wives
I was explaining all these different reasons why they should write and at the very end they said no one up sells us and
(28:06):
You really did that tonight?
So we just want to say if you ever want to get out of this industry
Any of us will hire you and they all put in their cards inside of the checkbook and they were all Mercedes dealers
Oh shit
I'm gonna be a car salesman. Yeah, there's a bad connotation that but there's
Yeah, I don't know. I was like, well, I think you
(28:30):
Well Rocky I've had so much fun just getting to know you a little bit more that's kind of cool
I love what you do. You're the sweetest kindest person. We love you and thank you and good job on the autism thing
That is a very very special thing that you're doing. Thank you
And I know it's a ridiculous amount of work and it grows every year. It's okay
The end part is like the craziest part because my house looks like a Amazon warehouse
Oh, yeah, and I have to keep the kids from all the toys
(28:55):
Interview me in the middle of that that
Really call might not be so sweet. No one even look at it. Don't disrupt my bags. They're all even
Thanks for letting us get to know you a little bit better. It's been cool hanging out with you
Well, thank you guys for having me and here's to a big successful event. It's grown every year. Yes
So let's keep the growth going. Oh, yeah a lot of kids in need
(29:18):
Yeah, real quick. What schools are participating this year with so I do
Julian schools their high school middle school and elementary. I also do all of
Santa Isabel's as well and then Ramona Elementary and Hansen Elementary. Also, if you're in the school district
Hansen's principal is actually putting together a district ride
(29:39):
So any of the the teachers or staff or spouses that ride they're putting on a whole ride to go up there
Yeah, cool. So if you're at any one of those communities and you think you can use
Help or insight or be a part of this event?
Yeah, how do we get a is there a way to get a hold of you if you Google Josie's hideout?
It's actually a cell phone and I always have the cell phone and you can text texting me
(30:02):
It's probably the best way because I get so many calls a day that it's
It's overwhelming. It's wild. Yeah times
Just because I mean we're popular place and a lot of people want to find out different things
What band in six weeks this that you know, whatever it may be all great questions, right?
But I can only get to so many every single day. So texting wise I can my fingers I can really text fast
(30:27):
Really text fast you got big speed thumbs. I don't have my nails on so I can be even faster. Yeah
All right, I'll let you go thanks for hanging out with me. I appreciate it. It's fine. Thanks for having us. All right. We'll see ya
Everybody it's Ramona radio. I'm Eric and I've got a very special guest in studio. Miss Rocky. What's that happening?
(00:07):
So you came down to the studio to record a spot? Yes for for Josie's hideout. They do this big thing every year
Yeah, I put on an event called right out to the hideout for autism every year
Okay, and so break it down. What's that? What's what's the whole point?
So I began right out to the hideout for autism to have an event from Josie's hideout
That comes out from us because we do get a lot of events
(00:30):
but to have an event that Josie's puts on ourselves to put out and something that I know a lot about is
Autism my
Yeah, my son's autistic. So he's the inspiration behind the whole thing, which is super fun because
He gets to come to the event and everyone gets to meet him and he goes around fist-bumping everybody and you know
(00:52):
Wants to say hi and everyone gets to see the children that they're donating to right, right
And so do do so is this open to those with autism or it's not like that
So so it's a family event so the whole family can come out
Yeah
So everyone pretty much knows someone on the spectrum and if you don't that's the day to meet someone
So that way, you know who you're donating to that day
(01:13):
I put up a lot of signs that says, you know what to expect for today
You may experience an interaction with children who are nonverbal you may see a couple meltdowns and that's okay
Because we're all accepting here and we're understanding and this is why we're creating these bags to help make those
coping mechanisms to help
limit the amount of meltdowns that happen at home when you're in the classroom because these kids have this bag to refer to
(01:39):
So so help help me understand for those that aren't completely familiar with what autism is
How would how would how do you describe what autism really is? So everyone said so what they say is is that everyone is on the spectrum
It just depends on where you are on the spectrum. For example, my son. He's nonverbal
We just recently though started he got to say mom for the first time like six months ago. How old is your son?
(02:01):
He's seven. Oh, wow
So that was an emotional moment. It was so exciting and then after that then I got our first sentence
which was at Costco and
He was having meltdown because we won't go back to the toy area and it's
Costco during Thanksgiving week, which is like the Hunger Games, right? Right, right. Did you have your bow and arrow?
(02:25):
You're ready to take my two fingers
She's got her way that arms like she goes it just I'm gonna I'm gonna someone's going down
I literally made an announcement because everyone's carts are like ramming each other
I'm like, I'm like it is not the Hunger Games. There is enough food for everyone calm down like, you know
(02:46):
But my son he ended up, you know laying on the floor and you don't necessarily want to pick up children when they're having a
Like an episode because a lot of times I've learned that
They don't even know that they're doing it and when they come out of it, they don't even know what happened
it's almost kind of like
It's not a seizure but like how when people have a seizure they don't even
(03:10):
Remember anything that happened during that entire time
And I noticed that a lot with my son and it can be trying at times and difficult, but that's okay
You just have to figure out the way that they communicate, right?
So my son got out the sentence in the middle of Costco Hunger Games and said I don't know you don't touch me
(03:31):
Now what do you think made him say that?
He wanted me not to like keep the line moving with him because we
And he wanted to go back to the kids. Oh, that's why area because of course they have all the Christmas stuff
I'm like, we've already been in there. We already have things in the cart for that like but yeah, so I was like
Oh, well, we got our first sentence. So I don't know whether to start running cuz someone's probably gonna come after me
(03:54):
You know, I'm like high five
What heads you want to celebrate on the other head you're like, I wish you found a whole bunch of other sentences that you could have said
at that moment
I just had to look at my daughter and I'm like, I'm like, can you get your brother?
I bet you there's moments like that with your son that happened quite often where you're like both proud and
(04:19):
And it could be challenging at times too, right? Yeah, so
I mean, it's really fun when you get to experience things with your kids for the first time
You know just anyone whenever you have kids and they get to you know, go to the movies for the first time
Everything is so new and so exciting
but what makes it I
Feel like almost even better with my son because he's on the spectrum is
(04:42):
He can't communicate verbally with me where he's at on the spectrum. So he should be
Like you can see his face light up. You can see all those emotions just running through him and he's so so excited
And so with that it's like you take him to SeaWorld or something and he's just in amazement
Right now we say, you know, he'll tell me that's amazing
(05:05):
That's amazing
So he's telling you at that point he's like at that point
Yeah
but the way that he like just puts out his emotions and
Just he is over the moon. So it's fun to see like, you know, I'm sure as you know kids get older
My kids are younger
But teenagers, you know, yeah, that's cool. I'm sure you know, I know how I acted, you know
(05:26):
Try and be all cool
But I'm like I hope that never ends with him because it's so cool to see someone get so excited and not mask it
It's just the raw emotion of things. How cool is that?
It's just the raw emotion of things and it's so cool. So I'm like it's like
I think it's like I think it's like he's like he's like, I don't know what he's like
He's like, I'm like, I'm like, I feel like you know, I'm like, I'm like, I feel like I'm like, I'm like
(05:51):
How cool is that and one hand I'm jealous of that I know I know like you said I wish everybody would do that
Just yeah, but I mean, that's the thing is is one of the reasons I do this is and I just recently wrote a speech
For getting people to donate so people can understand a little bit more of where I'm coming from is, you know, Elon Musk
It's learning how to channel it or or leverage it or is this something they do naturally on their own or with with proper guidance?
(06:18):
Externally you can so with this they
Everyone like I said, the spectrum is very wide
One of the new logos they just came out with for autism
It looks like a thumbprint and it has all the different colors in it because no person is exactly the same
we can try different things but all
treatment not necessarily treatments, but
educational plans and things like that are
(06:41):
Made and tailored to each individual
so with that it's
Depends on where you are on the spectrum, but typically kids that are on the spectrum or individuals that are they
Find a niche. I mean there's some things that my son will do and I'll be like I could try that every day for a year
And I'm never gonna nail us on first time. He just does it Wow no problem
(07:04):
And so so they just dial into something that they
Are take a liking to and then they would hyper focus on it like it's something that they just completely it is
My son is dinosaurs and sound effects
He's real good at sound effects if you see us ever in the grocery store
And you hear you think you're watching a scene from fast in the furious, right?
(07:24):
It's no it's me and Walter coming around a corner
I have a nephew who's autistic okay, and he he's all about movies
So he can tell you dates the movie came out and who the actors were and the directors and the sound producers and stuff
Like that, and he's just that's his thing right
I mean, then that's he lives in that world all the time of understanding movies
(07:48):
Yeah, and so I find it fascinating
I mean I guess I you know and I don't want to sound too cliche
But you know a lot of people have seen the movie Rain Man understand them
You know or kind of witness what that is and what do they call that savant or something like that something like it's something along that lines
We're we're there's something mm-hmm just something, but it's just giving these kids the tools to like actually
(08:13):
you know
overcome these harder parts where there's a there's a kid online and him and his mother are autistic and
The son was nonverbal up until his teenage years and I it's so fascinating
I'll have to figure out what his name is online, but he's now verbal and
He explains what it's like to be nonverbal
(08:37):
Oh, no, that's got to be weird from his perspective right so his perspective. I mean it's easy for us to assume
Mm-hmm right but for him to to to define it
Yeah, so I mean one of the things is he kind of described it as you know being underwater and everyone's walking above the water
You're you try and ask for help, but you can't reach and so being on here
(08:59):
So being nonverbal is not an elective choice no but for them. Mm-hmm. Oh wow
So everything's just wired a little bit differently, and that's okay because I mean it gives
It gives him that niche into different things. I mean they say a lot of CEOs and stuff like that are
on the autism spectrum because you know you work for some big large corporate companies, and you're like
(09:20):
There's a specific way to do things. This is the way. This is the only way. We're not diverting from it. Don't
Because that's the successful way they have found the niche as to exactly why that works
So I'm like well that makes a lot more sense now in some of the places that I've worked
I'll be them now so the the write-off for the hideout you one of the things you're working on is is what do you call them?
(09:40):
Sensory bags yes sensory bags, and so what do those do so is that that's so important
So these ones are important because it can be hard to control all your emotions one if you're nonverbal
To even if you are verbal it's hard for kids to get out exactly how they're feeling I mean even adults
It's hard for us to get out those feelings. Oh, yeah
So I know that feeling and it's you know it's a coping mechanism that they themselves can learn so I create these bags
(10:07):
They'll be like noise cancelling headphones for the younger kids
I get earbuds for the older kids because they don't like wearing the big headphones because they want to be with their friends
And they want to you know blend in a little bit more sometimes
That's what I've been told and so that's what I cater to in the bag whatever you guys whatever they feel
I'm most certainly happy to do that
I put in talking remote so they can hit buttons with pictures on it so they nonverbal can tell you
(10:32):
Well, I see okay, all right
I just recently came across these new toothbrushes that I put in for all the younger kids
And it's three-sided toothbrushes because the sensory of brushing their teeth. I know it's a struggle for me
it's a struggle for a couple of my other friends that have kids on the spectrum and
With these three-sided toothbrushes you literally just put it on the teeth
(10:52):
And you can just go for it and get it done much much faster and right effective
I get the classrooms
a lot of items to where they can be used in a group participation or when things get a little bit more
Hectic sometimes in the classroom because there's a lot of kids in these classes and I create I
(11:17):
Create these bags, and I add body socks into them
So a body sock imagine a pillowcase okay that zips in the middle, okay?
With that you can put your put your shoulders arms legs all in it
Everything's your head, okay
Your head's the only thing sticking out
But it gives them that motion of being able to stretch out their arms and their legs and be fully covered and to just have that
(11:41):
pressure even I do
weighted vests for some of the classrooms to that need it
Because those do break in the sandbags need to be replenished
Okay, and it's kind of like when your nervous system is really
It's kind of like when your nervous system goes
Hey wire like when you're having a panic attack
They one of the best things that you can do is actually try and match your breathing to another person and the best way
(12:05):
You can do that is by hugging another person
So by putting that pressure all over your body when someone gives you that big bear hug yeah it it calms you down
But then you also start matching that person's breathing
Unintentionally you just start doing it. It's a calming thing so with the weighted vest
What it does is basically just gives them a big hug the whole time. I like big hugs everybody likes
(12:26):
I want to hug all the time. I'm a so
But I can understand I can appreciate that I can appreciate that
So these bags let the kids
When they start to feel as if they're becoming overwhelmed and they can go pick something out of the bag that it is their bag
So everything in that bag is theirs that sharing can be difficult for any kid
But this bag is specifically theirs
(12:49):
And I make them all different colors and stuff and put different designs on so do you have to do you like get?
A list of names and then go what their needs are and then custom design one bag per kit
Or is these one bag they're all the same and then so depending on
The classrooms I talked to I try and tackle the severe moderate classrooms first
And then I work my way out of it a little bit if there's a couple of students that are in general ed
(13:16):
Then they may need just something a little bit different, okay?
Especially with like older kids or even the younger ones sometimes
I'll ask like, you know, what is something that like they cannot have in there or what is something that you would say?
That would be super helpful and they'll be like, you know, I have two students that absolutely love light up things
They need light up stuff. That's what calms them. Okay, great. So I find out from all the schools
(13:39):
How many of you guys need light ups?
light up items and things like that or
Sensory strips you can put on your desk or your phone or bouncing ball things for your feet so that way they stay in their
Seat, but they're still moving right, right. Um, there's bouncing bands, too. And then I
They give me an idea of what they're looking at their class because every year is different and every student is different
(14:01):
So if there's something in particular like you know what?
I know one student that would really really benefit from this if there's a way to get it to us
Canyon like I am moving that to the top right over here like if that's gonna benefit them and it's gonna benefit other students as well
Let's do that. That's cool. So now that right out to the hideout is a fundraiser to make these bags
(14:22):
Yes, so when people do people buy tickets to the fundraiser or do they show up and just donate as they can so people can donate
Starting I usually do it about two months ahead of time. So like in July this year
I started accepting donations if because some people can't make it or whatever the reason maybe where we go to the
You go to Josie's hideout
Oh, I do have a Venmo account that I'll post up and I do all that like, you know
(14:46):
you can directly Venmo right here and that all just sits there until we need to transfer it out and
Then while they're at the event we have raffle tickets, okay
And then we also put on an auction the fun thing with the raffle
I always try and make sure which I think a lot of people are doing now too is every time there's an item
You have a little jar in front of it. You're specifically going in for that item
(15:09):
I see. Okay instead of I remember forever ago
It used to be just put it in the big bowl and you get whatever you get. Oh, I see
I see gotcha gotcha
So they'll buy like what 20 tickets and they can divvy up their tickets in the bowls how yeah
So they can they can weigh their odds last year
We did buy arm lengths and things like that
But to make it go a little bit faster this year what we're gonna do is is you know
(15:30):
This is how much this many tickets is this is how much this many ticket is
I got you cool and then at the end we do also an auction
Nice and this uh, so this is a silent auction or is it an actual on?
So it's an actual oh, it's an auction. You can get someone on the cool auctioneers to be in for now
But I don't we have we have this really I could
Let me hear your auctioneer
(15:54):
I'll save it for later in case my MC doesn't show
You're gonna be at home practice y'all have to be there to see it I wouldn't be good at either
I'd be like somebody said two bucks
Anymore. Well, that's it
That's funny it's for the children let's do it a live auction a live auction the raffle is just raffle
(16:18):
So that's tons of different things Harley-Davidson gives us lots of stuff, which is super fun
And then I go out to the surrounding communities and the different
Restaurants and stores and stuff like that and they do gift certificates and they do
merchandise and stuff like that, so I'll build these bags if they're not already pre-built and
Put them all together. So that way, you know, it's like all oh this one has a bottle of vodka
(16:42):
And it also has you know a t-shirt from the place. I really like and stuff like that. Someone got me a big LED sign
What does a Buena Vesa?
Sign nice like I'm gonna put all my tickets in that one, right?
I'm all kind of on it
But I mean we get everything I mean we get kid baskets we get adult baskets
(17:04):
It's it's for everyone spa things like I'm like, oh, this is for everyone. I love it and you've got Sarah Jade performing
Mm-hmm. She's fantastic. She's something else. I tried finding
Amber and I were going back and forth. She's like we gotta find a band
We gotta find a band and I was like I'm like it just hasn't come to me yet. It's just not right
It's not coming to me yet. Not yet. And then Sarah came and performed inside the hideout during winter and I go that's it
(17:29):
Right. That's what I wanted. Have you heard her new song?
I have heard this one. So good. Yeah, she's we play it on rem on a radio all the time. She sings beautiful
Yeah, so you're gonna give her outfits. Yeah. Oh, yeah
She hits the whole stage and one of the things that caught me is like her
amazing outfits
(17:50):
Like every time I see her I'm like, oh my gosh, I just I want to wear that right like I have a lot of confidence but like
She wears things though. Like she's the only one that can probably make this work. Like if that was on me, they'd say no
What is she wearing everyone looks at her and they're like it's like oh wow
(18:11):
And I was like, well, this is fun
It's a kid event too and like my daughter wants to be a rock star
So she always sees all the girls up there on the station
I want to go up there. So cool. Sarah Jade's a lot of fun
She if you ever a chance to see Sarah Jade in concert have her do her show. She she puts on a show
She does she puts on a great show. Well, I'm excited because I've seen Sarah Jade
Probably a dozen times and you can never see too much of that. So that's cool. It's fun. Her music's cool
(18:35):
Well cool, and then the ride out for the head out is September 14th from 11 to 6
You've got sponsors from everywhere. I do silent raffle raffle take it away
It's big raffle big concert. Mm-hmm and not to mention kids area. I have actually remote or Barona Speedway
one of their drivers is
Their son's autistic and they have a big their car there. Oh, yes. He has a big autism logo on it
(19:00):
He's bringing it out. He's like we can start it up for the kids and they can sit in there if they want
So fire truck will be there
That's always fun
And I'm sure the kids will get a little bit of a stunt show because it's it's shocking that
You know as much sensory and stuff like that say about 95% of the time the kids was hearing sensory
When they're watching these guys pop a wheelie or do a burnout
(19:24):
It's so much fun to see the excitement on the kids
Because and then it's more exciting to see the parents because they're like, oh my gosh, we're in a loud environment
My kid doesn't even care that it's loud
They're in such amazement and like they're enjoying watching their kid be so happy cool
And that's one of the another thing that for those that haven't been to Josie's by the way, it's up in wine wine
(19:45):
Ola, Santa is a bell. Sorry. I know you passed through one. No on the way to San Isabel. No, no
I'm all jacked up. Anyway, it's up in San Isabel. Yes, I like Henshaw. Yes
That I know
I got that in Atlanta Lake Henshaw and
When you were talking about motorcycles doing tricks and stuff like that, it really is a motorcycle show
(20:10):
Almost every weekend at Josie's. Oh, yeah, you'll see me out there. Yeah, you right? No, I take the videos
So I do a lot of our social media and our funny videos and things so like they'll see me and I'm like hi
How's it going? You're great. Like I know you I'm gonna sit right here
You don't want to hit me. No, I don't I'm like I'll send you the video
(20:35):
Awesome. All right. So that's all about the Josie's and the event you got Josie has a whole bunch of events coming on
I know you manage all the events that or manager
I manage at the at the restaurant and then I help with all events and different things like real quickly
There's a couple of other events coming up. There's a veterans appreciation event. Yeah, right after the hideout for military appreciation
Yeah, and then we have also what's it called? The our final Twilight concert of the summer which will be from 530 to
(21:05):

So we're going back to back. Nice ends with our you're a busy girl. I am
We're only open on the weekends, but well, that's during the week is all it's a lot of work
It's a lot of work all the hard work is all the hard work is done on the week
(21:26):
We do weekdays at the weekends you get to party and relax with most people, right? I know I seen you float around float around
All right. All right side from Josie's. Where are you from originally San Diego? You're from San Diego
Originally from San Diego moved to Hawaii for about four and a half years. Now. What are you renewing Hawaii? All of middle school?
Yeah, remember it look like a leaky my my pigeon. Yeah, I can bust some of that out when I need to
(21:53):
Usually comes in handy when I need to switch seats on American Airlines
Had a friend that they're like like oh, we're not sitting together like hold on a minute
I like go up there and they're all local, you know, you know bus it out. That's funny. How's it?
(22:15):
They got me into crying and come on right and then I sit next to the goal. How did you like I'll don't worry about it
Just and when we're there, don't talk I'll talk
That's funny because most people know you from
The bar scene. Yeah, I mean you've been a staple in Ramona Julie and the whole stretch here
(22:37):
Yeah, you've been in a whole bunch of places and calling me a staple. Yeah, I mean you are I mean everybody knows Rocky
I mean everybody's like oh Rockies there Rockies there cuz you kind of float around a little bit
How'd you end up in that industry? Um, my mom when I was eight years old
She began going in and kind of doing like a bar rescue type of thing
Oh really fine dining restaurants Italian restaurants. So since I was eight years old
(23:01):
I've been following my mom going to work with her and doing all that kind of stuff and I just picked it up along the way
And then once I turned 18, then I was like, alright, it's on I'm I'm doing you had all kinds of knowledge experience
And so I was like, I don't know what I want to do. I don't know what I want to do
And I was like, you know what? I I know what to do. I know how to do it and I know the right way to do it
So I'm gonna dive into it and I did and um
(23:27):
I've loved it. I mean, I'm a social butterfly. I mean, that's what it said on all my report cards
She always got the oh on her report card social activities. Oh outstanding. Oh
Plus plus plus plus. Yeah, right. Yeah, literally they would write. She's a social butterfly
And I'm like, it's a teacher's nice way of saying you talk too much exactly
But I have no I guess for me. I have no shame. I will talk to anyone and everyone
(23:54):
Whenever that's fine. I I guess I should have some shame sometimes
Own it. I'm like I'm like the true you hi. I'm rocky nice to meet you
Now I've had a couple of people ask me if Rocky's actually your real name
No, I didn't think so. So my parents had a deal when I was born if I was a girl
(24:15):
My dad got to name me. It was a boy. My mom got to name me. Oh interesting, of course
Just like every other man. They had the biggest crush on Raquel Welch
Well, you kind of gave a little hint here to your a so
Okay, I know
So or at least your dad's age. Yeah. Yeah, and so I ended up with Raquel
All right, and then my mom said no one will call her rocky
(24:39):
Her name is Raquel and now she's like, oh, this is my daughter rocky
Yeah, but the rocky mom, yeah when you became the rocky then she's like I have to concede
Love you mom. And then sometimes on the rock if I'm cooking
Sometimes friends would come over like when I was growing up and I'd always be making dinner and things like oh
Can you smell what the rock is?
