I'm live here in New York CityMonday through Friday, two to six pm.
I'm on so many stations across thecountry on the weekends and so many
(01:30):
as well every weeknight with the Newhit List, where I bring you the
best new music every single night elevento midnight. So for all that,
for when the schedules, make sureyou keep it locked on my socials,
I'm at lack Carrystal a little sastest to get to. So let's get
into it. Write me out,Sit back, relax, It's Crystal's Nightcap.
(01:57):
Now. Before we get into it'sbeen going on with me in my
life, I want to get intosome headlines things that are popping this this
past week that I haven't been ableto get to with you. Now.
First of all, Selena Gomez BennyBlanco live in their best lives. They
were courtside at the Knicks game herein New York at Ardison Square Garden a
few nights ago. And I wantto speak on dating people that other people
(02:22):
consider ugly. I have lived itplenty of many of times I've been blinded
thought some people weren't ugly. Thatnow I'm like, I cannot believe I
allowed myself to date them. Butultimately we're all beautiful people, all right.
Beauty is in the eye of thebeholder. People drag Benny Blanco saying
that he has a una brow,saying that he needs braces, saying that
(02:43):
he needs to shave his face.Now, listen, if you got like
a connecting beard, if he kindof tamed his hair a little bit,
I think that he would. There'sthings that he could do with his appearance
to make him look more quote conventionallybeauty. All right, But Selena Gomez
right now, she's just living hera best life. If you have never
(03:06):
dated a man that was hit withthe ugly stick, you need to,
because those men, they worship theground you walk on most of the time,
like ninety percent of the time.They're super humble, they cannot even
believe that they are the presence ofa queen like you and I, and
they usually treat you really, reallywell. So that's why when I was
(03:29):
growing up, I had no problemdating guys that some people thought weren't cute.
And I was just like, Ilove him for him being him.
I don't care if you think he'snot cute. I don't care if you
think he has you and a brow. I'm more like the presence of the
person and what they bring into mylife. And when you see Seida Gomez
out and about, you see whatshe's posting. When you see her at
(03:51):
the NIXT game court side with BennyBlancole, she's all over him. They're
all over each other. She canall keep her hands off of him.
She is happy, she is fed. He cooks. I love me a
man that cooks. Please please,men belong in the kitchen. I love
men that cook. I love thathe cooks for her. She looks happy,
she's singing love songs, she's smiling, she's out in public. She
(04:15):
doesn't do that a lot with peoplethat she dates. So leave her and
Benny alone. Let them be happy. Do I think they're gonna last.
I don't know. I honestly don'tknow. It's really hard with alis celebrities
like that. But it looks likehe worships her. It looks like he's
just so thankful that she's around him. And I love them flirting. I
(04:38):
don't really need to see PDA fromthem to me personally, I don't but
love it for them. So getyourself if you haven't before, get yourself
like a medium ugly guy. Theyare the cutest, they are the sweetest,
They are humble kings. And seethe difference. See the difference now.
I've also dated guys. Actually,I've never really dated a guy just
(04:59):
for the looks if they were goodlooking, but then they didn't really do
it for me with their hearts andwith mentally. It was hard for me
to just get with the guy solelyon his looks. So I'm happy now
that I have a good looking man, and that I have a man that
also treats me really well because mybald king Zaddi, he is amazing.
(05:19):
Also, I've always said this,but bald guys very humble. We stand
guys that are bald as well becausethey usually are very humble, and they
usually also can treat you well.So we stand a bald daddy. All
right? What else is happening?Sabrina Carpenter is out with Harry Kyogan.
She was at Coachella these past fewweekends killing on the stage. Sabrina Carpenter
(05:44):
is my girl crush. I'm obsessedwith her. Every time I see her
on TikTok, I stop and Istare. I love to Brenda Carpenter.
I think she's funny, I thinkshe's cute. I think her outros.
If you haven't heard these outros livewhen she performs nonsense, they are wild,
they are wicked, they are ratedX. She did one for her
man's Barry Kyogan, who is anactor. He was most famously recently in
(06:10):
the movie saal Burne, which Ihave yet to see because like the naked
stuff, the like hyper sexualized moviesand stuff like it, just it doesn't
do it for me. I'm gonnastick to my Korean fitness game show one
hundred Physical. But people love thisman. People swoon over this man.
People think this man is fine.He has those piercing blue eyes. I'll
(06:34):
say that his jawline and his cheekbonesgo absolutely insane. It's giving handsome squidward,
so her and him are cute together. He's just not really like my
type the way that he looks.But when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey were
(06:55):
out at Coachella and now SIBRAINI andBarry Kiogan, I mean Sabrina opened for
Taylor's arrows to so hers and Taylorare close. When Barry was out there,
they were all here double date onTravis kelce I think that's cute.
I think that's a vibe. Welove seeing celebrities double day and be double
day besties. I love how aBarry Kiogan is supporting her and watching her
(07:17):
on stage and taking videos of herwhile she's at Coachella. It's a support
for me. You'll have your timeon your movies, honey and the Oscars
and all that. Let me havemy time on stage where I break it
down. And she when she didthe outro kind of alluding to him.
Very hot, very romantic, verysexy. Sabrina Carpenter just scored her first
top ten on the Billboard, debutingand Espresso is a hot popin song.
(07:42):
Right now, She's gonna hit numberone probably this year, she'll hit number
one and She's gonna be one ofthe biggest pop stars in the world too.
She is so fun to watch andI have a fat crush on her.
Taylor Swift's album The Tortures Post's Departmentdropped and it's been getting mixed.
My peers are not really feeling it. They're saying that it's very monotone and
(08:05):
they don't really like it. Isaw a comment on TikTok someone said,
this is not an album, Thisis a diary, and I want us
to all understand that this is notan album. This is her true feelings.
We got a song about Travis Kelcey, which is adorable. We're getting
songs people are assuming is about herex Joe Allwen, that she was with
(08:26):
for six years. She's writing abouthow he stole her youth and these things.
I don't know, Sissy, donot six years with somebody, six
years of the one person and you'renot going to marry them. That's a
long time. That's a long timein your early twenties. Be with someone
for three four years at the fiveyears in your early twenties. Maybe if
(08:52):
you guys, finances aren't there orwhatever. Okay, I understand that,
but you're Taylor Swift to hear wassomeone for six years. That is crazy
to me. And not only that. In her song she said that he
promised having kids and all these things, and you know, and on one
sided things people do change. Youknow, maybe he did want that,
and let's be nice and give himthe benefit of the doubt. Maybe he
(09:13):
did want all that with her.And then they were even pandemic, you
know, booze. They were togetherfor the pandemic, and they broke up
after when everyone started being out againand she was touring again because when she
was with him, she was ahomebody for a lot of the time because
she had gone into it with Kimand Kanye, and so she went into
hiding for a second and didn't reallytour or put music out like that.
(09:35):
She put stuff here and there out. But he was with her forevermore on
folklore, and they had already brokenup for midnights anyways. What everyone else
is also talking about is the disto Kim Kardashian, her song something about
thank You Amy. That's the songoh Snap. She brought frickin Northwest into
(09:58):
this Taylor Swift brought Northwest into thisbeef kind of not really. I mean,
you heard the lyrics. You readthe lyrics Taylor Swift singing about how
your kids are gonna come in,singing a song that only you and I
know is about you, and thesong thank you Amy. The only capitalized
letters in that title is like,Kay, I am do what? Why
(10:24):
don't you gonna apologize to Taylor?Kim that? It's like I love the
Kardashians. I think that they're amazing. I think it's awesome what Kim stands
for and with the lawyer of itall and just being a mogul and balancing
being a mom, and she keepsit really poised when it comes to Kanye,
right, But I feel like,why have you not apologized to Taylor?
(10:52):
What is stopping you? Can wehear your side of the story?
Can you be honest about that?What are you high? None of us
are perfect. We've all been throughand gone through stuff, and some things
we were embarrassed about or some thingswe feel bad about, and it might
be hard to apologize or whatever.But over and over Taylor has brought this
(11:13):
up because it really affected her.I mean she even talks about it was
the darkest times of her life.She had to retreat. She's crying,
screaming a f you, thinking abouther life, thinking about living anymore or
not. She's had those deep,deep evil thoughts, and a lot of
those stemmed from that Kim Ye situationwhere they literally were out here making it
(11:37):
look like Taylor was a liar anda manipulator and just dragging her name when
they knew the truth, which iscrazy to me. So, Kim,
after all these years and after youbeing separated from Kanye and now you're having
kids of your own, why haveyou not been able to publicly apologize.
(12:03):
You'll apologize for naming kimono wrong andnow switching it to skims and saying sorry
to the Japanese community. You'll apologizefor Bellanciaga did with the kids and the
campaign and all that. When itcomes to money stuff and backlash on that
end, you'll apologize. But whenit comes to another woman in the industry
(12:26):
who is just as powerful as you, who is screaming for an apology and
asking questions on why you did thesethings, you're on the hush hush.
I don't get it. I wonderif we're ever gonna get the truth from
Kim, even if it's her side. Maybe Kim has a different perspective of
what actually happened, and that's okay. I think it's totally fine. I
(12:50):
just want the truth, even ifit's Kim's truth, even if Kim's truth
is different than Taylor's truth. Taylorspeaking on her truth and has spoken on
it. Kim, why are yousilent on this? And can you please
let us know what happened actually happened. I had a tough time listening to
(13:11):
Taylor's album I'm Not Gonna Lie.I did listen to all them. Some
of them I kind of liked,but it's not Midnights. It's not Lover
or nineteen eighty nine. It's moreon the Evermore and fourklore vibes, where
it's kind of just one tone throughoutthe album and her double album. I
couldn't even get to the second album, I'm Not Gonna Like. I just
couldn't thirty one songs. I mightget to it this week, but yeah,
(13:35):
they were up and down. Obviouslya Swifti's were always gonna stand everything
that Taylor does, so I loveher for that. It just wasn't one
hundred percent of my cup of tea. But there are someone there that we
do like the song with her andpost Malone loved that and that was pretty
much like my favorite out of thatone. Mark Zuckerberg, this meme of
(13:56):
him turning into a complete z Zaddy. Why would I actually text back the
Zaddi version of Mark Zuckerberg, likehis beard, his mustache. You see
this someone like like photoshopped and likea eyed this beard on him. It
really is only the beard. Ithink they color corrected him a little bit
(14:16):
from a pinky to like more ofa tan. Mark. The Internet has
told you what to do to becomea Zaddy, a hot boy. Summer
this summer, grow the bleard,the bleard, grow the beard. If
you can't grow the beard and plantthe beard, we deserve micro blade the
(14:37):
beard on. Because Mark Zuckerberg doeshave potential to be a Zaddy and I
think we all found that out.And he even responded to the meme by
posting a razor saying say less orsomething like that. But it's like,
don't say it and don't not doit. Mark. We need you to
turn into Zaddi, Mark, andthen people will stop thinking that you're a
lizard and people will stop bullying you. I don't like the Mark Zuckerberg bullying.
(15:01):
He recently did an MMA event,right, I think he's doing like
jiu jitsu mixed Marshal's Arts or somethinglike that. And he was doing the
walk in with everybody, and hedid look a little awkward. He looked
a little out of place. That'sjust he's what do you expect. He's
a whiz, he's a nerd.He has a mental that none of us
(15:22):
can even comprehend. He has avision, he has a lifestyle that none
of us can even begin to fathomin touch. So he is gonna look
a little off compared to us everydaynormies, and that is we should honor
that of him. That's why thereare those conspiracy theories that he is a
lizard. He probably has the brainof a lizard in a good way.
(15:43):
So now, Mark, you knowthe secret formula of how we could possibly
turn you into a zaddy this summer, And if you don't grow a beard
within the next three months, thenI'm not gonna feel sorry for anymore.
People are making fun of you becausewe gave you the formula, So good
luck. What were some headlines thatstood out to you this past week?
What are your opinions about Taylor's album, about Mark Zuckerberg, about Slene Gomitz
(16:07):
and Benny Blankell, let me knowon everything I've met, Like Crystal Little
says that now we're getting to mycave. Crystal's cave was going on with
me, my life, the crevices, all that, getting into it and
more. Right, Yeah, lastweek was really chill. On Friday after
work, I was just gonna takeit easy because you know, Saturday mornings
I work when I'm here in NewYork City, and I decided to go
(16:27):
stroll around the stores and go shopping. A lot of my shopping is done
online these days because it's just easyand you can just scroll and scroll and
scroll and put stuff in your carand take it out and things like that.
I have my first European vacation comingup, allegedly because I have not
gotten the days approved. Actually gotthe vacation time rejected in my work day.
(16:51):
So I don't know how that's gonnawork, because zad he already booked
all the flights, he booked allthe hotels, like, everything is booked
except for my time off. Ohcan we please all together collectively pray that
I somehow weasel my way to gettingthat vacation time unrejected. But yes,
it's gonna be my first occation ofthe year. I am super excited.
(17:12):
I've just been working, working,working, work and working, and I've
gone home a few times to seemy family, but that's not really vacation
for me. I I don't knowif you hanging out with your family's vacation,
but for me, that's not vacation. I need to be sitting by
pool, drinking mimosa. I wasgonna say, momsa a mohito. I
was trying to put mamosa and mohitotogether. Maybe that's the thing, but
(17:34):
that's what I want to do.I want to lay by a pool and
I want to drink and I wantto relax, and I want no one
to bother me. I don't wantto respond to emails. I don't want
to have to worry about what I'mgoing to be tracking in what part of
the world my brain is going tobe in for a radio show that night.
So I'm really excited that Zaddie andI are planning our first European vacation
(17:56):
together. And it's everything. Thisitinerary is insane. I am so geeked
even though I don't have my vacationtime approved, but I've been doing a
little shopping for it. I dohave some stuff that I can rewar,
but also i want to look bangingfor my mans, Like this is the
(18:17):
first time we're really taking a vacationtogether. Because we've just done trips weekend
trips, and we've just gone homeor to New York. We haven't really
vacationed and relaxed together. Anytime I'vebeen out with him in somewhere that's somewhat
tropical or nice weather, it's forwork. So I'm really geeked that we
are doing our first vaca together,and I want to look cute for my
(18:41):
mans. So I'm like, letme stroll around and look what's going on
at Norstrum. One of the biggestnorth strums in the world is here in
New York City in Midtown. SoI'm strolling over there and I'm looking at
the different perss because i want toget a purse it's going to fit my
camera because I'm going to be vlogging. I have like an old nineties type
of video camera. I'm trying toget like my Kim K and Paris Hilton
(19:03):
On. So I'm going to betraveling with that stuff, and I want
to make sure that I have aroom for in a bag. So I'm
looking at north Strum and the Purson'sdepartments. I'm trying to look at Now
I've learned the difference, okay,because I was like, where is the
like non name brand stuff? Sowhat I asked at Norserace, she goes,
oh, this is that you knowwe have like the Tory Birches and
(19:26):
the coaches. I'm like, thisis non name brand. This is name
brand to me, like I tryto buy five thousand dollars parts, Like
we are past that. We arepast that in the sense of I am
not I'm not giving these crazy namebrands anymore of my money. When I
first moved here to New York City, let's talk about that. It was
tough because I moved here without mommyor Daddy's credit card. And there are
(19:51):
a lot of people here that Ihave that, and they're walking around and
they're proud of this, and there'sChanelle this and that. And I make
my own money, which means thatI don't have a whole lot of money
to be spending all luxury goods.But you know, looking around and being
a woman who are kind of like, dang, you know, I kind
of want a nice bag. Ikind of want a nice this and that.
(20:11):
So I feel like when I firststarted living here, I kind of
fell into that pressure. And thefirst Christmas, I bought myself a nice
bag, and then my birthday wentto Sacks and I bought these things.
And then when I was looking atmy bank statements, I'm like, Sis,
you think you have an indispensable fortunehiding for you somewhere. You think
(20:32):
you have an inheritance coming that's goingto be wild. No, So I
got humbled real quick. And justthe fact that I am able to see
my family every month or something,I get to go back home, that's
what I now am spending my moneyon. And it doesn't leave a lot
of room for those luxury goods thatall the vapors and all the models are
(20:56):
out wearing. But that's okay.I think that I've been able to get
past that in a sense and thinkthat's not important to me. When I
first moved here, the pressure ofthat was tough. But now I'm a
little older, I am prioritizing differentthings and I'm honestly just not caring as
much as what people think or whatI have on or don't have on,
(21:18):
And the most important for me isspending time with my family and my boyfriend.
So if I can do that,and if I can afford that,
then cool. And everything else,I'm just going to be trying to build
my empire. So I'm not shoppingin name brands, and I'm not even
shopping at Coach or Terry Birch,even though that's not considered name brands according
to Nordstrom. Now they want tosend me downstairs to the contemporary bags,
(21:44):
which are just as cute. Idon't care. I must bed fifty or
a hundred bucks on a cue bagthat is functional and fits of things that
I need and will last long,and I'm not scared to wear out.
I of course have my really cute, see nice stuff that I've bond for
myself, and there's just only ahandful of things like that. But you
know, I'm going to stay withinmy tax bracket, and even when I'm
hopefully breaking ceilings past that tax bracket, I want to not get too caught
(22:07):
up in those material things. AndI also think that getting closer to God
has helped me with that as well, because a lot of what you hear
and read in the Bible is abouthow it's important to have a rich heart,
have a rich soul, be joyous, and be gracious, and that
doesn't really come with material things.Sometimes those things don't collide. But I've
(22:30):
been talking to Zaddi lately. He'sbeen having those existential conversations with himself as
well, and he has been wantingto buy a new this or he wants
to buy that, and he waskind of feeling conflicted about that, and
I'm telling him, look, Babe, we work for things. We work
hard, we do deserve. Ifwe want to get ourselves nice things.
(22:52):
Ever, once in a while,that's not sinful as long as you're being
a good person. Now, ifyou're buying new things and you're treating people
bad or it gives you this elevatedself sense of self that is unhealthy,
that's not good, and that's whenyou should really reset. But you know,
if you want a car that you'reafraid is not going to break down,
(23:14):
and want a reliable, nicer carthat this or that cool, get
that. If you know you're goingout to these meetings and you see these
men that are flex and these watchesand things like that, and you're kind
of like, those are kind ofnice. I think that would make me
feel proud. That's okay, youcould do that. At the same time,
you should be treating every interaction withpeople good and that is more so
(23:34):
what dictates us as a good personor not, not what kind of bag
or car or watch. And aslong as you are giving back, and
you don't have to give back monetarily, there's different ways to give back to
the world or to your church orto do good things for people. For
me, my time of giving backis hosting hospitalities at church and inviting people
(23:56):
to that and just spreading good vibeswhenever I can, and donating obviously when
a little kind of see that comesaround for those friend that you got to
give a little sum to the churchbecause that's how they survive. But that's
for me how I balance those things. But yes, I'm sticking to the
contemporary section of Nordstrum and I actuallyfound a really cute bag, so I'm
(24:19):
doing that and then one of theemployees and Nordstrom goes, hey, are
you a host, And I'm like, yeah, what do you mean,
And she's like, are you onthe radio. I'm like, yes,
I am on the radio. Andlet me tell you, I was looking
so crushed and busted, like Iwas in my sweats and hoodie and dirty
Nike vibe. But I don't reallycare. I really don't care because I
(24:42):
love dressing very comfortable to work.But the problem is that I was a
little too comfortable to be out inthe streets. It's okay, though,
you know, Sis, if youain't got makeup on, you got a
beautiful smile, so shine bright.I wasn't feeling too bad. I was
just like, dang, it's thisperson, clearly, and those why I'm
on the radio right now, Becausebecause I was looking a little crusty,
(25:04):
she was so sweet. Shout outto Priscilla. You are a native New
Yorker and you are a huge fanof Z one hundred and Elvis Duran and
the Z one hundred Morning Show.And when I came on to the group
here at Z one hundred, youstarted following me. And now you are
part of the cave. You area little crystallation here in the Crystal's Cave.
(25:25):
So Priscilla, thank you very much. Sis. Thank you very much,
Queen. I really appreciate you.And your spirit was really high and
so nice and bubbly, and itjust makes me really happy when dope people
come up to me and say thatthey like our work and say that we're
friends, because we are friends,like we and here we are besties.
And I tell you that all thetime. So shout out to you,
Priscilla. So that was my Fridaynight. It was pretty chill. Saturday.
(25:48):
I woke up. Oh my gosh, bro Oh my gosh, this
was so crazy. So I wokeup. I needed a little extra few
minutes of snooze time because I havebeen and unfortunately addicted to TikTok. And
I've talked about this before. I'vehad phone addiction problems, and I feel
like when I go and I hangout with Zaddy or my family, and
then I come back to New York, I'm thrown off a little because of
(26:11):
my sleeping schedule because the time difference, and so I just find myself in
bed scrolling TikTok until like one ortwo in the morning, and it's a
problem. So I was having areally tough time waking up for work on
Saturday morning. I was like fivemore minutes, five more minutes before I
know it, the bus, Idon't know the I get on the bus
(26:36):
to the train, and then thebus is just mad delayed for some reason.
And then it's just like a wheelchairperson after a wheelchair person that comes
on, which is no problem.I love you wheelchair people, but the
problem is that it takes like fiveto ten minutes just to get a wheelchair
person on. And that's not aproblem either. But if I'm running late
for work, I'm like, dang. So then I get to the train
(26:57):
and the train, which usually iscoming with the next minute or two,
isn't coming for ten minutes, andI'm like, I'm gonna be late.
I'm gonna be late. But I'mlike, you know what, it's a
Saturday shift. It's okay. Imean it's not okay, it's not okay.
But I haven't been late in soso long that I was like lesson
(27:17):
learned, like I'm gonna stop sleepingin. So as I'm getting on the
train, I get a text frommy coworker who is running the show before
mine, So the morning show.He goes Chris, So I'm so sorry,
but I'm gonna be about two minutesover your time, which is exactly
how much time I needed to beright on time. For me, I
was gonna be like two minutes lateto work, and I said, no
(27:40):
problem, Scottie, you are theman. And so I'm running into work.
I really don't want to actually belate. And as soon as I
get in, I hear like thefrom like, how does it go serving
the universe? That's how our topof the hour every hour on zero one
hundred starts with like our top ofthe hour. It's called stager, So
(28:02):
it goes like as soon as Irun in, I hear from the top
surveying dow universe. I'm just like, yes, I made it. And
then I like quickly sit down andI like quickly push the on button.
I'm like, hey, it's Chris. And then I noticed that the mic
for some reason, when when peopleare working remote into our studio, like
the mic messes up and it takesa second to try to reset that mic.
(28:26):
So the mic wasn't even working,and it's just like bro, bro
bro, But I was on timetechnically, I did what I had to
do. It isn't that the bestfeeling ever? When it's just like God,
sends you just an extra two minutessomehow, and I was already not
stressing because I was like, there'snothing I could do about it. I
messed up here, like I amgoing to miss the top of the hour.
I should not be doing that.That is not market number one.
(28:48):
I am human, though, andI need to fix my TikTok addition addiction
number one. So this week Istarted again, which I've had to do
before, but then I get lazyabout it. Then I like kind of
creep back into my old habits.I start putting my phone out in the
kitchen to charge at ten PM.So right at ten no phone or else
I'm gonna be on my phone scrollingaimlessly on TikTok until two in the morning.
(29:11):
Like unfortunately my mommy sound that Idoes. My mom has the same
TikTok addiction that I do, andit's so bad, and I tell her,
Mommy, like, you have toget over that because then we get
tired for the daytime and blah blahblah. So I'm trying to be better.
My Saturday shift was great. Iactually got a lot of work done
during the week, so I didn'thave a whole bunch that was piling up
for my Saturday shift. And thenafter that I went home and I just
(29:34):
relaxed a little bit, and Ihonestly took a nap because I was hell
a tired. And then I wokeup because I got invited to eight birthday
dinner. My girl Alex was havingher birthday dinner at Bad Room in at
Columbus Circle. Here, like rightwhere Central Park starts and Bad Room is
is the new cool spot. It'sthe trendy, cool, cute spot.
(29:57):
I've been there a few times.Zaddi Ti took me there when I went
for the first time, and Ididn't even know it was like the cold
trendy spot. He said that someonerecommended it to him and he made resis
and it was like a really hardresi to make, and I was like,
dangz thatti, Okay, look atyou. And then after that we
went again and we took the kids. We took my nephew Alex, we
took his son, we took mybrother Junior, and my little brother is
(30:18):
Stevan. We went to Bad Romanwhen they were here for Christmas time,
and it's so good. And thenwe had a iHeart event recently that time
Square event. I told you aboutwhere the top sellers of the country were
here and we were gonna show themtheir billboard and Times Square. So the
dinner, the dinner before there wasthere and then now this bird I like,
live there. Now I'm like,okay, can we stop? Like
(30:41):
okay, I'm done with this place. I want to go find new places.
But the food is always so good. Ain't no barata like? Is
that? He say it? Buratalike bad Roman Bata? That little cheese,
a little whipped cheese, Give methat so good? So we ordered
that, we like got drinks.I didn't know any of the girls.
I only knew my birthday friend.But there was like a table of six
(31:03):
of us. And where does alla badass women killing it in our jobs
mostly Latinas and just doing our dangthings. Some of us are single,
some of us have maans. We'retalking about how treacherous the apps are for
the single ones. We're talking aboutdifferent situations with your boyfriends. It's just
(31:23):
a fun like girl power group andI loved that. I'm really thankful that
I get to hang out with myfriend Alex because we met three Yeah,
we went three years ago, Likewhen I first moved here to New York
City, and we've got a littlecloser. Recently, we've been inviting each
other to our birthday things and sothat's how we've been able to see each
(31:45):
other. But as of recently,we've been going to church together or just
kind of going out and having coffeetogether. And I feel like because we're
both really into the church and toour religions, we can help each other
out in those things. And she'sreally successful in what she does, so
it motivates me to be better andmotivates me to be a boss. And
she shares me what is going onwith her work, and she knows what's
(32:06):
going on with me and my work. And we're just like two women that
are just supporting each other to Latinasthat are trying to make it in this
crazy city and then navigate this crazyworld. And she gets to go and
do these amazing things with her job. She was just in Miami and got
to go too, like a CEO'smansion there, and she needs her own
(32:30):
episode because she got invited. Okay, I'm ana stop, I'm a stop,
I'm a stop. I'm gonna bea good person and I'm gonna let
her share her stories. But Yoh'sliving her best life, and anywhere she
goes, these men just flock toher and just like invite her to these
craziest things. And it's just funto see and hear about your single friend's
(32:52):
life. Because when I was inmy single era for the years that I
was here in New York City,it was craziness. That was a really
good time. And I still haveso much fun and I'm so thankful that
now I'm with my man Zaddy.But it's really funny hearing these men are
just wildild These men are just wild. It's really funny hearing. I mean,
(33:14):
you know you are single or youhave single friends, you hear the
stories of the streets and the trenches, and it's just fun hearing when your
friends are going through things like that. So we all got to catch up
and we were actually having dinner fora few hours. We're having really good
times with the Platika and the cheesemen all that, and then I went
(33:34):
home early, though we took ituber early home, probably like midnight.
I was back at home and thenext day I woke up, I went
to Misa, I went to hangout with my hospitality group, which was
great. And then after that,I was like, you know what,
Crystal, it's time for you toget your nalgas back in the gym because
you have less than a month untilyour vacation time that was requested is coming
(33:57):
up, so you need to looksummer body ready. So it has been
no carbs and I I took aplates class which was so hard. It
was so flipping hard. I almostcried. My other girl, Alex,
my girl al she is a likea luxury pilates instructor, so I get
to go take classes with her.And I was like, Alex, I'm
(34:19):
coming in, and I pulled inhard and I left almost crying, but
I felt good. I was wobbling, sure, I was wobbling out,
but I did it. Thank youvery much. And then I got home
and then my neighbor J came upfor a little bit. We love neighbor
JS. We haven't caught up inso long, but he caught me up
everything that's going on with him.I caught him up everything that's going on
with me. And then I wentback to my ten o'clock phone in the
(34:43):
kitchen, sleeping, waking up,going to work. A Monday. After
work, I did I went tothe gym. I went to the gym
and I ran my mile and Idid my yoga and I felt really good,
even though I felt super super supersuper. But yeah, I know
we all have our different health goals. I know some of us have been
(35:04):
trying, or some of us mightbe out there out and doing it every
day. And if that is you, I want to be you so bad.
And if that's not you, thenyou're me, and you're trying.
Maybe maybe one day this next week, you can give yourself a goal of
just to go walk around for thirtyminutes. You know, maybe instead of
eating the fool sandwich, you're gonnatake the top part of the BoNT off
like I started doing, and it'sjust gonna it's gonna help you a little
(35:27):
bit. Maybe whatever you serve yourselfto eat, you only have because we
be as Americans eating way too bigof portions. So I'm trying. I'm
trying to be a skinny legend forand a healthy skinny legend for our little
trip coming up. And then Tuesday, what do I do? I wake
up early and I go take myice skating class. Yes I do.
I haven't ice skated in like amonth, but with my schedule and everything,
(35:47):
I finally made it happen. Andit's looking like Tuesday mornings are gonna
be my skate days to put onmy little my little skates and to go
do my thing on the ice,living my best nine year old fantasy Tuesday.
And then after work Tuesday, wego to a bar down the street
because my boss is leaving. Ithink I told you ready right that my
boss here in New York City isleaving to go live their best life.
(36:10):
And my boss from San Francisco thatused to be my boss and kind of
still is a little bit for mywild ninety four nine stuff, is now
taking my boss here in New YorkCity's position, which is so funny because
he's just the man, and everyone'skind of giggling thing that he's following me
around to New York City. Buta shoot, if anybody's gonna follow me
(36:30):
is that man, because he isthe best man in the world. And
if there's one place too we gointo, it's New York City for our
field and our what we do.Because this is a number one market in
the whole country. NZ one hundredis the top pop station of the world,
so it's pretty dope that now myboss Mark here in New York is
leaving on to follow what him andhis family want to do, and now
(36:53):
my old boss Mark in San Franciscois going to be my new boss again.
He's gonna have a boss again herein New York, which I'm really
looking forward to because I have hadsome tough situations here at work, and
I've I haven't divulged anything. It'snot really my place to divulge, but
(37:13):
it's just not easy working with peoplesometimes, and there's just some things that
you cannot change, even though you'vetalked about it, and even though you've
wanted to. And I'm very thankfulthat I have someone again that has my
back and will be helping me navigatethe tough things that happen here at work.
So I'm really excited about that.And we had a whole I think
(37:37):
I told you we had like awhole survey earlier last week about me on
air. And I'm looking real good. I'm in shape, I'm doing everything
that I am required to do andneed to do here at work, and
more so, I feel very proud. I feel very happy and I feel
very secure with my job here sothat's the good news. We had a
(37:59):
going away party for my boss lastnight, and so a whole bunch of
industry people were there and a lotof our coworkers were there, and it's
great. I do get a littlebit of social anxiety though, even though
I love people and I enjoy talkingto people, it is a little hard
for me to sometimes navigate a roomfull of people. I obviously gravitate towards
(38:21):
the people that I know, andI know that networking is really important.
I feel like I used to bea little better at that, but I'm
just getting kind of a little morehermity, and I just I get afraid
that I'm going to say the wrongthing, or I just know that a
lot of big wigs are around,so I feel a little like on edge.
So I do kind of struggle withsocial anxiety sometimes, and especially last
(38:45):
night, I was just I wasjust really kind of nervous, and I
wasn't drinking, I was just eating. But I had a good time saying
hi to the people that I knew, and I did chop it up with
someone that I was familiar with,but I haven't really had a full conversation
with I'm good at the one onone, Hi, how do I know
you? Like? What's up withyou? Where are you from? I'm
(39:06):
good at the one on ones ina group setting, but when it's a
few of us talking, I feelkind of nervous that I don't know,
I just feel nervous. I justfeel nervous. I feel like people don't
want to really talk to me.I feel like I'm impeding. I feel
like I'm intruding, and it's justkind of hard. So after a little
bit, I was like, Ineed to go. I need to go.
I'm uncomfortable, Like I just needto go. So I left.
(39:29):
I went home, and I wasalready so tired. I was already so
tired that I almost took a napin between my job and that little shin
dig. But I got home andI was just so tired that I just
got everything ready for today and Iknocked out. I woke up really early
this morning because Dua Lipa was instudio for an interview. I prepped a
(39:52):
lot for this interview. She hasa new album Radical Optimism out me in
words, she has a new albumOptical Radical Optimism. It's because what I
see radical and optimism, it makesme think elliptical or optomeoticism, I don't
(40:13):
know. Those two words together aretough for me. Even Taylor Swifts do
album The Tortured Poets Department took meso long to get right. I was
getting it wrong all the time,like Taylor love You, Why are you
naming it that the Tortured Poets Department. That's just very complicated for me.
I'm a Swift, do you knowthat? So that was complicated. And
this album Radical Optimism was a littletough for me to remember too. But
(40:36):
I did a lot of prep forthis interview. Doul Lipa is one of
the biggest pop star top five popstars in the world right now, and
I am so happy of how Ihave been able to be less nervous for
these I am happy that I doa lot of prep. I've been doing
interviews for a long time now.It's ten years of doing our Is interviews,
(41:00):
interviewing everyone from Selena Gomez to EdSheeran. Now a Liipa was one
that I have not interviewed in person, and I felt very calm, cool
and collected. I had all myoutfits and everything ready from the night before.
I made sure to go to sleepearly and on time. I had
(41:20):
my milkshake ready in the freezer tojust like pop out and pour milk and
quickly smoothly it up, so I'mnot taking too long because I know at
a early call time, and Icalmly was not rushing to work. I
gave myself enough time to make itto work, to walk to work on
time. I had all my interviewquestions. They're like, you don't know,
(41:40):
especially when you're interviewing with someone else, because I don't do the interview
by myself. I do some ofthese with my partner, and it's kind
of hard because you don't know wherethey're going and you don't know where the
conversation is going to lead, butyou do want to get your questions in
there somehow. So I feel likeI've done a great job of being able
to navigate all those things, havingmy interview questions that I prep well and
(42:04):
I want to make sure I getin there and at the same time letting
the conversation flow like a real conversationand not being it so robotic and choppy,
because sometimes I look back at myinterviews, I'm my girl, that's
so cringey, Like you weren't evenlistening to what they were saying, because
you obviously want you also want tolisten to what they're saying and be present
in that moment instead of just Iwant to get these questions out right.
So I felt very confident. Ifelt like I prepared very well, and
(42:29):
I feel like even though this isone of the biggest interviews, I was
there early and which was actually ontime because she was a little early,
and we start off and I'm feelingcalm, cool, collected. She's in
a great mood and great spirit.She's very chill, very down to earth,
very present, very sweet, zeropercent diva, zero percent Eva.
(42:53):
And I love that about her becauseshe, like I said, is a
huge artist and has a big squad, but at the same time, she's
so sweet and it's just like aregular person you're talking to. And she
was open and she wasn't weird.I didn't, I don't. I'm not
asking any weird or violating questions.That's not the point of these conversations that
(43:15):
I have with these artists. ButI do want to ask thought provoking questions.
I don't want to just kiss upto them the whole time and not
get to know them. On sometype of level. So I'm happy that
I find a good balance with that, and then I was able to find
a good way to bring the thingsthat I wanted up for front and I'm
(43:37):
very thankful that she was open andwe talked about her new music, We
talked about her being on SNL nextweek. We talked about her writing style.
We talked about her loving playing atMadison Square Garden and why she loves
Mexico City so much, which isobviously so important for me because our family
family's from Mexico. So I lovedher sharing about that or her book,
(44:00):
what she got going on with herfamily and her cooking, and it was
just great. I feel like Ireally got in what I needed to get
in. And the most important confrontationI had was with her and crocs,
because her and I have the sameopinions on crocs. I heard her say
that one fashion blip that she willnever ever do is wear crocs, and
(44:20):
so I asked her about that.I was like, what is your beef
with crocs? Has that changed?Has any radical optimism come about about crocs?
And She's like, no, likethey're just not for me. I'm
like, but listen, they havethe platforms now they have the sandals and
she's like, no, I'm justnot a croc girly. So confronting Duliba
(44:43):
about her croc beef was fun andI can't wait for you to watch it.
It's going to be on her YouTubeas Z one hundred New York or
on the New hit List. Youcan check me out on all those things,
So I can't wait for you tosee that. And I just want
to say thank you again for hangingout with me for another episode of a
Crystal's Cap. Hope you enjoyed it. You can take us wherever you go
through Freeheart Radio app Obviously, I'mlive Monday through Friday two to six on
(45:06):
Z one hundred, tons of stationson the weekends and every night as well
to keep up again on everything atLack of Crystal, Little Sausselet's, and
with our daily mo to Vader.This one is called Jumpstart. This is
where we just give a little paragraphof motivation for the day. A thousand
things demand your time and attention.It seems you can never get it all
(45:28):
at once, so start with justone, get that completed, and immediately
your situation looks a lot better.When you've actually made some progress. More
progress not only looks possible, butlikely get a little momentum going, and
it has a good chance of continuing. Take the first step, even though
it feels hopeless, even though youdon't like it. That can launch a
whole new attitude. You'll soon realizeyou weren't as overwhelmed as you imagined yourself
(45:52):
to be. It's great to beworking at your way forward despite the challenges,
despite your I reluctance, jumpstart yourselfinto action. In just a short
time, you'll be running reliably onthe momentum of your efforts. It seems
like you can never get all done, so just start with one, get
that completed, and immediately your situationlooks a lot better. Yeah, if
(46:15):
you feel like your place at homeis just a little too crowded and cramped,
just start with one room to startwith, one corner of the room,
to start under your bed, andthen you just kind of start going
from there. That's how it feelsfor me when I feel like my entire
house is just like a disaster ora tornado, I cannot breathe, I
cannot feel calm. If my areais just a hot mess. I love
(46:37):
coming home to a clean apartment,and sometimes when just the week has gone
by so fast and you just haveclothes everywhere, and like the dishes aren't
done. It's like, okay,I wanna start with one thing. I'm
gonna start with the dishes, andthen the counter right next to it,
and then over there, I justhave a whole pile of shoes. Let
me get the shoes out of theway. Why can't really get the shoes
off the way because I have twominutes now and need to clean out some
of the shoes and throw some outthat I don't use and never wear anymore.
(47:00):
Little baby steps of little things canhelp you. So yeah, thousand
things demand your attention. Just startwith one and maybe start with a list.
A least can help two because thenyou'll know what you need to tackle.
So I hope you enjoyed that one, and we're going to do our
daily prayer to close it out.If you don't really pray or believe in
religion like that, then it's okay, thank you so much for hay.
(47:22):
Now you don't have to stay.If you want to see what the daily
prayer is about, then stick aroundand whatever you feel you feel, you
can switch the words God or Jesusto love and lie in good energy.
This is for April twenty fourth,from the book Jesus Calling. It says,
rest and the stillness of my presencewhile I prepare for you this day.
(47:42):
Let the radiance of my glory shineupon you as you wait on me
and confident trust, Be still andknow that I am God. There is
both a passive and an active sideto trusting me. As you rest in
my presence focusing on me, Iquietly build bonds of trust between us.
When you respond to the circumstances ofyour life with affirmations of trust, you
actively participate in the process. I'malways with you, so you have no
(48:07):
reason to be afraid. Your fearoften manifests self and excess planning. Your
mind is so accustomed to this patternof thinking that you're only now becoming aware
of how persuasive it is and howmuch it hinders your intimacy with ME.
Repent of this tendency and resist it. Whenever you realize you're wandering down this
well worn path. Return to MYpresence, which always awaits you in the
(48:30):
present moment. I accept you backwith no condemnation. So I'm forty six
to ten Romans eight to one.As you rest of my presence, focusing
on me, I quietly build abond of trust between us. Your mind
is so accustomed to excess planning andfears, manifesting to the tendency, and
(49:00):
resist it. Whenever you realize you'rewandering down this well, we're in path.
Presence, joy, grace, allthose things. Hope that this daily
prayer helped you as well, andall your special intentions. I'm going to
give good energy and love to andhope that your prayers are answered as well.
I have some for me, sokeep me in mind. And I
(49:22):
just want to thank you again foralways hanging out with me every week.

that really helps to get my podcastand us up on the algorithm.
I'm live here in New York CityMonday through Friday, two to six pm.
I'm on so many stations across thecountry on the weekends and so many
(01:30):
as well every weeknight with the Newhit List, where I bring you the
best new music every single night elevento midnight. So for all that,
for when the schedules, make sureyou keep it locked on my socials,
I'm at lack Carrystal a little sastest to get to. So let's get
into it. Write me out,Sit back, relax, It's Crystal's Nightcap.
(01:57):
Now. Before we get into it'sbeen going on with me in my
life, I want to get intosome headlines things that are popping this this
past week that I haven't been ableto get to with you. Now.
First of all, Selena Gomez BennyBlanco live in their best lives. They
were courtside at the Knicks game herein New York at Ardison Square Garden a
few nights ago. And I wantto speak on dating people that other people
(02:22):
consider ugly. I have lived itplenty of many of times I've been blinded
thought some people weren't ugly. Thatnow I'm like, I cannot believe I
allowed myself to date them. Butultimately we're all beautiful people, all right.
Beauty is in the eye of thebeholder. People drag Benny Blanco saying
that he has a una brow,saying that he needs braces, saying that
(02:43):
he needs to shave his face.Now, listen, if you got like
a connecting beard, if he kindof tamed his hair a little bit,
I think that he would. There'sthings that he could do with his appearance
to make him look more quote conventionallybeauty. All right, But Selena Gomez
right now, she's just living hera best life. If you have never
(03:06):
dated a man that was hit withthe ugly stick, you need to,
because those men, they worship theground you walk on most of the time,
like ninety percent of the time.They're super humble, they cannot even
believe that they are the presence ofa queen like you and I, and
they usually treat you really, reallywell. So that's why when I was
(03:29):
growing up, I had no problemdating guys that some people thought weren't cute.
And I was just like, Ilove him for him being him.
I don't care if you think he'snot cute. I don't care if you
think he has you and a brow. I'm more like the presence of the
person and what they bring into mylife. And when you see Seida Gomez
out and about, you see whatshe's posting. When you see her at
(03:51):
the NIXT game court side with BennyBlancole, she's all over him. They're
all over each other. She canall keep her hands off of him.
She is happy, she is fed. He cooks. I love me a
man that cooks. Please please,men belong in the kitchen. I love
men that cook. I love thathe cooks for her. She looks happy,
she's singing love songs, she's smiling, she's out in public. She
(04:15):
doesn't do that a lot with peoplethat she dates. So leave her and
Benny alone. Let them be happy. Do I think they're gonna last.
I don't know. I honestly don'tknow. It's really hard with alis celebrities
like that. But it looks likehe worships her. It looks like he's
just so thankful that she's around him. And I love them flirting. I
(04:38):
don't really need to see PDA fromthem to me personally, I don't but
love it for them. So getyourself if you haven't before, get yourself
like a medium ugly guy. Theyare the cutest, they are the sweetest,
They are humble kings. And seethe difference. See the difference now.
I've also dated guys. Actually,I've never really dated a guy just
(04:59):
for the looks if they were goodlooking, but then they didn't really do
it for me with their hearts andwith mentally. It was hard for me
to just get with the guy solelyon his looks. So I'm happy now
that I have a good looking man, and that I have a man that
also treats me really well because mybald king Zaddi, he is amazing.
(05:19):
Also, I've always said this,but bald guys very humble. We stand
guys that are bald as well becausethey usually are very humble, and they
usually also can treat you well.So we stand a bald daddy. All
right? What else is happening?Sabrina Carpenter is out with Harry Kyogan.
She was at Coachella these past fewweekends killing on the stage. Sabrina Carpenter
(05:44):
is my girl crush. I'm obsessedwith her. Every time I see her
on TikTok, I stop and Istare. I love to Brenda Carpenter.
I think she's funny, I thinkshe's cute. I think her outros.
If you haven't heard these outros livewhen she performs nonsense, they are wild,
they are wicked, they are ratedX. She did one for her
man's Barry Kyogan, who is anactor. He was most famously recently in
(06:10):
the movie saal Burne, which Ihave yet to see because like the naked
stuff, the like hyper sexualized moviesand stuff like it, just it doesn't
do it for me. I'm gonnastick to my Korean fitness game show one
hundred Physical. But people love thisman. People swoon over this man.
People think this man is fine.He has those piercing blue eyes. I'll
(06:34):
say that his jawline and his cheekbonesgo absolutely insane. It's giving handsome squidward,
so her and him are cute together. He's just not really like my
type the way that he looks.But when Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey were
(06:55):
out at Coachella and now SIBRAINI andBarry Kiogan, I mean Sabrina opened for
Taylor's arrows to so hers and Taylorare close. When Barry was out there,
they were all here double date onTravis kelce I think that's cute.
I think that's a vibe. Welove seeing celebrities double day and be double
day besties. I love how aBarry Kiogan is supporting her and watching her
(07:17):
on stage and taking videos of herwhile she's at Coachella. It's a support
for me. You'll have your timeon your movies, honey and the Oscars
and all that. Let me havemy time on stage where I break it
down. And she when she didthe outro kind of alluding to him.
Very hot, very romantic, verysexy. Sabrina Carpenter just scored her first
top ten on the Billboard, debutingand Espresso is a hot popin song.
(07:42):
Right now, She's gonna hit numberone probably this year, she'll hit number
one and She's gonna be one ofthe biggest pop stars in the world too.
She is so fun to watch andI have a fat crush on her.
Taylor Swift's album The Tortures Post's Departmentdropped and it's been getting mixed.
My peers are not really feeling it. They're saying that it's very monotone and
(08:05):
they don't really like it. Isaw a comment on TikTok someone said,
this is not an album, Thisis a diary, and I want us
to all understand that this is notan album. This is her true feelings.
We got a song about Travis Kelcey, which is adorable. We're getting
songs people are assuming is about herex Joe Allwen, that she was with
(08:26):
for six years. She's writing abouthow he stole her youth and these things.
I don't know, Sissy, donot six years with somebody, six
years of the one person and you'renot going to marry them. That's a
long time. That's a long timein your early twenties. Be with someone
for three four years at the fiveyears in your early twenties. Maybe if
(08:52):
you guys, finances aren't there orwhatever. Okay, I understand that,
but you're Taylor Swift to hear wassomeone for six years. That is crazy
to me. And not only that. In her song she said that he
promised having kids and all these things, and you know, and on one
sided things people do change. Youknow, maybe he did want that,
and let's be nice and give himthe benefit of the doubt. Maybe he
(09:13):
did want all that with her.And then they were even pandemic, you
know, booze. They were togetherfor the pandemic, and they broke up
after when everyone started being out againand she was touring again because when she
was with him, she was ahomebody for a lot of the time because
she had gone into it with Kimand Kanye, and so she went into
hiding for a second and didn't reallytour or put music out like that.
(09:35):
She put stuff here and there out. But he was with her forevermore on
folklore, and they had already brokenup for midnights anyways. What everyone else
is also talking about is the disto Kim Kardashian, her song something about
thank You Amy. That's the songoh Snap. She brought frickin Northwest into
(09:58):
this Taylor Swift brought Northwest into thisbeef kind of not really. I mean,
you heard the lyrics. You readthe lyrics Taylor Swift singing about how
your kids are gonna come in,singing a song that only you and I
know is about you, and thesong thank you Amy. The only capitalized
letters in that title is like,Kay, I am do what? Why
(10:24):
don't you gonna apologize to Taylor?Kim that? It's like I love the
Kardashians. I think that they're amazing. I think it's awesome what Kim stands
for and with the lawyer of itall and just being a mogul and balancing
being a mom, and she keepsit really poised when it comes to Kanye,
right, But I feel like,why have you not apologized to Taylor?
(10:52):
What is stopping you? Can wehear your side of the story?
Can you be honest about that?What are you high? None of us
are perfect. We've all been throughand gone through stuff, and some things
we were embarrassed about or some thingswe feel bad about, and it might
be hard to apologize or whatever.But over and over Taylor has brought this
(11:13):
up because it really affected her.I mean she even talks about it was
the darkest times of her life.She had to retreat. She's crying,
screaming a f you, thinking abouther life, thinking about living anymore or
not. She's had those deep,deep evil thoughts, and a lot of
those stemmed from that Kim Ye situationwhere they literally were out here making it
(11:37):
look like Taylor was a liar anda manipulator and just dragging her name when
they knew the truth, which iscrazy to me. So, Kim,
after all these years and after youbeing separated from Kanye and now you're having
kids of your own, why haveyou not been able to publicly apologize.
(12:03):
You'll apologize for naming kimono wrong andnow switching it to skims and saying sorry
to the Japanese community. You'll apologizefor Bellanciaga did with the kids and the
campaign and all that. When itcomes to money stuff and backlash on that
end, you'll apologize. But whenit comes to another woman in the industry
(12:26):
who is just as powerful as you, who is screaming for an apology and
asking questions on why you did thesethings, you're on the hush hush.
I don't get it. I wonderif we're ever gonna get the truth from
Kim, even if it's her side. Maybe Kim has a different perspective of
what actually happened, and that's okay. I think it's totally fine. I
(12:50):
just want the truth, even ifit's Kim's truth, even if Kim's truth
is different than Taylor's truth. Taylorspeaking on her truth and has spoken on
it. Kim, why are yousilent on this? And can you please
let us know what happened actually happened. I had a tough time listening to
(13:11):
Taylor's album I'm Not Gonna Lie.I did listen to all them. Some
of them I kind of liked,but it's not Midnights. It's not Lover
or nineteen eighty nine. It's moreon the Evermore and fourklore vibes, where
it's kind of just one tone throughoutthe album and her double album. I
couldn't even get to the second album, I'm Not Gonna Like. I just
couldn't thirty one songs. I mightget to it this week, but yeah,
(13:35):
they were up and down. Obviouslya Swifti's were always gonna stand everything
that Taylor does, so I loveher for that. It just wasn't one
hundred percent of my cup of tea. But there are someone there that we
do like the song with her andpost Malone loved that and that was pretty
much like my favorite out of thatone. Mark Zuckerberg, this meme of
(13:56):
him turning into a complete z Zaddy. Why would I actually text back the
Zaddi version of Mark Zuckerberg, likehis beard, his mustache. You see
this someone like like photoshopped and likea eyed this beard on him. It
really is only the beard. Ithink they color corrected him a little bit
(14:16):
from a pinky to like more ofa tan. Mark. The Internet has
told you what to do to becomea Zaddy, a hot boy. Summer
this summer, grow the bleard,the bleard, grow the beard. If
you can't grow the beard and plantthe beard, we deserve micro blade the
(14:37):
beard on. Because Mark Zuckerberg doeshave potential to be a Zaddy and I
think we all found that out.And he even responded to the meme by
posting a razor saying say less orsomething like that. But it's like,
don't say it and don't not doit. Mark. We need you to
turn into Zaddi, Mark, andthen people will stop thinking that you're a
lizard and people will stop bullying you. I don't like the Mark Zuckerberg bullying.
(15:01):
He recently did an MMA event,right, I think he's doing like
jiu jitsu mixed Marshal's Arts or somethinglike that. And he was doing the
walk in with everybody, and hedid look a little awkward. He looked
a little out of place. That'sjust he's what do you expect. He's
a whiz, he's a nerd.He has a mental that none of us
(15:22):
can even comprehend. He has avision, he has a lifestyle that none
of us can even begin to fathomin touch. So he is gonna look
a little off compared to us everydaynormies, and that is we should honor
that of him. That's why thereare those conspiracy theories that he is a
lizard. He probably has the brainof a lizard in a good way.
(15:43):
So now, Mark, you knowthe secret formula of how we could possibly
turn you into a zaddy this summer, And if you don't grow a beard
within the next three months, thenI'm not gonna feel sorry for anymore.
People are making fun of you becausewe gave you the formula, So good
luck. What were some headlines thatstood out to you this past week?
What are your opinions about Taylor's album, about Mark Zuckerberg, about Slene Gomitz
(16:07):
and Benny Blankell, let me knowon everything I've met, Like Crystal Little
says that now we're getting to mycave. Crystal's cave was going on with
me, my life, the crevices, all that, getting into it and
more. Right, Yeah, lastweek was really chill. On Friday after
work, I was just gonna takeit easy because you know, Saturday mornings
I work when I'm here in NewYork City, and I decided to go
(16:27):
stroll around the stores and go shopping. A lot of my shopping is done
online these days because it's just easyand you can just scroll and scroll and
scroll and put stuff in your carand take it out and things like that.
I have my first European vacation comingup, allegedly because I have not
gotten the days approved. Actually gotthe vacation time rejected in my work day.
(16:51):
So I don't know how that's gonnawork, because zad he already booked
all the flights, he booked allthe hotels, like, everything is booked
except for my time off. Ohcan we please all together collectively pray that
I somehow weasel my way to gettingthat vacation time unrejected. But yes,
it's gonna be my first occation ofthe year. I am super excited.
(17:12):
I've just been working, working,working, work and working, and I've
gone home a few times to seemy family, but that's not really vacation
for me. I I don't knowif you hanging out with your family's vacation,
but for me, that's not vacation. I need to be sitting by
pool, drinking mimosa. I wasgonna say, momsa a mohito. I
was trying to put mamosa and mohitotogether. Maybe that's the thing, but
(17:34):
that's what I want to do.I want to lay by a pool and
I want to drink and I wantto relax, and I want no one
to bother me. I don't wantto respond to emails. I don't want
to have to worry about what I'mgoing to be tracking in what part of
the world my brain is going tobe in for a radio show that night.
So I'm really excited that Zaddie andI are planning our first European vacation
(17:56):
together. And it's everything. Thisitinerary is insane. I am so geeked
even though I don't have my vacationtime approved, but I've been doing a
little shopping for it. I dohave some stuff that I can rewar,
but also i want to look bangingfor my mans, Like this is the
(18:17):
first time we're really taking a vacationtogether. Because we've just done trips weekend
trips, and we've just gone homeor to New York. We haven't really
vacationed and relaxed together. Anytime I'vebeen out with him in somewhere that's somewhat
tropical or nice weather, it's forwork. So I'm really geeked that we
are doing our first vaca together,and I want to look cute for my
(18:41):
mans. So I'm like, letme stroll around and look what's going on
at Norstrum. One of the biggestnorth strums in the world is here in
New York City in Midtown. SoI'm strolling over there and I'm looking at
the different perss because i want toget a purse it's going to fit my
camera because I'm going to be vlogging. I have like an old nineties type
of video camera. I'm trying toget like my Kim K and Paris Hilton
(19:03):
On. So I'm going to betraveling with that stuff, and I want
to make sure that I have aroom for in a bag. So I'm
looking at north Strum and the Purson'sdepartments. I'm trying to look at Now
I've learned the difference, okay,because I was like, where is the
like non name brand stuff? Sowhat I asked at Norserace, she goes,
oh, this is that you knowwe have like the Tory Birches and
(19:26):
the coaches. I'm like, thisis non name brand. This is name
brand to me, like I tryto buy five thousand dollars parts, Like
we are past that. We arepast that in the sense of I am
not I'm not giving these crazy namebrands anymore of my money. When I
first moved here to New York City, let's talk about that. It was
tough because I moved here without mommyor Daddy's credit card. And there are
(19:51):
a lot of people here that Ihave that, and they're walking around and
they're proud of this, and there'sChanelle this and that. And I make
my own money, which means thatI don't have a whole lot of money
to be spending all luxury goods.But you know, looking around and being
a woman who are kind of like, dang, you know, I kind
of want a nice bag. Ikind of want a nice this and that.
(20:11):
So I feel like when I firststarted living here, I kind of
fell into that pressure. And thefirst Christmas, I bought myself a nice
bag, and then my birthday wentto Sacks and I bought these things.
And then when I was looking atmy bank statements, I'm like, Sis,
you think you have an indispensable fortunehiding for you somewhere. You think
(20:32):
you have an inheritance coming that's goingto be wild. No, So I
got humbled real quick. And justthe fact that I am able to see
my family every month or something,I get to go back home, that's
what I now am spending my moneyon. And it doesn't leave a lot
of room for those luxury goods thatall the vapors and all the models are
(20:56):
out wearing. But that's okay.I think that I've been able to get
past that in a sense and thinkthat's not important to me. When I
first moved here, the pressure ofthat was tough. But now I'm a
little older, I am prioritizing differentthings and I'm honestly just not caring as
much as what people think or whatI have on or don't have on,
(21:18):
And the most important for me isspending time with my family and my boyfriend.
So if I can do that,and if I can afford that,
then cool. And everything else,I'm just going to be trying to build
my empire. So I'm not shoppingin name brands, and I'm not even
shopping at Coach or Terry Birch,even though that's not considered name brands according
to Nordstrom. Now they want tosend me downstairs to the contemporary bags,
(21:44):
which are just as cute. Idon't care. I must bed fifty or
a hundred bucks on a cue bagthat is functional and fits of things that
I need and will last long,and I'm not scared to wear out.
I of course have my really cute, see nice stuff that I've bond for
myself, and there's just only ahandful of things like that. But you
know, I'm going to stay withinmy tax bracket, and even when I'm
hopefully breaking ceilings past that tax bracket, I want to not get too caught
(22:07):
up in those material things. AndI also think that getting closer to God
has helped me with that as well, because a lot of what you hear
and read in the Bible is abouthow it's important to have a rich heart,
have a rich soul, be joyous, and be gracious, and that
doesn't really come with material things.Sometimes those things don't collide. But I've
(22:30):
been talking to Zaddi lately. He'sbeen having those existential conversations with himself as
well, and he has been wantingto buy a new this or he wants
to buy that, and he waskind of feeling conflicted about that, and
I'm telling him, look, Babe, we work for things. We work
hard, we do deserve. Ifwe want to get ourselves nice things.
(22:52):
Ever, once in a while,that's not sinful as long as you're being
a good person. Now, ifyou're buying new things and you're treating people
bad or it gives you this elevatedself sense of self that is unhealthy,
that's not good, and that's whenyou should really reset. But you know,
if you want a car that you'reafraid is not going to break down,
(23:14):
and want a reliable, nicer carthat this or that cool, get
that. If you know you're goingout to these meetings and you see these
men that are flex and these watchesand things like that, and you're kind
of like, those are kind ofnice. I think that would make me
feel proud. That's okay, youcould do that. At the same time,
you should be treating every interaction withpeople good and that is more so
(23:34):
what dictates us as a good personor not, not what kind of bag
or car or watch. And aslong as you are giving back, and
you don't have to give back monetarily, there's different ways to give back to
the world or to your church orto do good things for people. For
me, my time of giving backis hosting hospitalities at church and inviting people
(23:56):
to that and just spreading good vibeswhenever I can, and donating obviously when
a little kind of see that comesaround for those friend that you got to
give a little sum to the churchbecause that's how they survive. But that's
for me how I balance those things. But yes, I'm sticking to the
contemporary section of Nordstrum and I actuallyfound a really cute bag, so I'm
(24:19):
doing that and then one of theemployees and Nordstrom goes, hey, are
you a host, And I'm like, yeah, what do you mean,
And she's like, are you onthe radio. I'm like, yes,
I am on the radio. Andlet me tell you, I was looking
so crushed and busted, like Iwas in my sweats and hoodie and dirty
Nike vibe. But I don't reallycare. I really don't care because I
(24:42):
love dressing very comfortable to work.But the problem is that I was a
little too comfortable to be out inthe streets. It's okay, though,
you know, Sis, if youain't got makeup on, you got a
beautiful smile, so shine bright.I wasn't feeling too bad. I was
just like, dang, it's thisperson, clearly, and those why I'm
on the radio right now, Becausebecause I was looking a little crusty,
(25:04):
she was so sweet. Shout outto Priscilla. You are a native New
Yorker and you are a huge fanof Z one hundred and Elvis Duran and
the Z one hundred Morning Show.And when I came on to the group
here at Z one hundred, youstarted following me. And now you are
part of the cave. You area little crystallation here in the Crystal's Cave.
(25:25):
So Priscilla, thank you very much. Sis. Thank you very much,
Queen. I really appreciate you.And your spirit was really high and
so nice and bubbly, and itjust makes me really happy when dope people
come up to me and say thatthey like our work and say that we're
friends, because we are friends,like we and here we are besties.
And I tell you that all thetime. So shout out to you,
Priscilla. So that was my Fridaynight. It was pretty chill. Saturday.
(25:48):
I woke up. Oh my gosh, bro Oh my gosh, this
was so crazy. So I wokeup. I needed a little extra few
minutes of snooze time because I havebeen and unfortunately addicted to TikTok. And
I've talked about this before. I'vehad phone addiction problems, and I feel
like when I go and I hangout with Zaddy or my family, and
then I come back to New York, I'm thrown off a little because of
(26:11):
my sleeping schedule because the time difference, and so I just find myself in
bed scrolling TikTok until like one ortwo in the morning, and it's a
problem. So I was having areally tough time waking up for work on
Saturday morning. I was like fivemore minutes, five more minutes before I
know it, the bus, Idon't know the I get on the bus
(26:36):
to the train, and then thebus is just mad delayed for some reason.
And then it's just like a wheelchairperson after a wheelchair person that comes
on, which is no problem.I love you wheelchair people, but the
problem is that it takes like fiveto ten minutes just to get a wheelchair
person on. And that's not aproblem either. But if I'm running late
for work, I'm like, dang. So then I get to the train
(26:57):
and the train, which usually iscoming with the next minute or two,
isn't coming for ten minutes, andI'm like, I'm gonna be late.
I'm gonna be late. But I'mlike, you know what, it's a
Saturday shift. It's okay. Imean it's not okay, it's not okay.
But I haven't been late in soso long that I was like lesson
(27:17):
learned, like I'm gonna stop sleepingin. So as I'm getting on the
train, I get a text frommy coworker who is running the show before
mine, So the morning show.He goes Chris, So I'm so sorry,
but I'm gonna be about two minutesover your time, which is exactly
how much time I needed to beright on time. For me, I
was gonna be like two minutes lateto work, and I said, no
(27:40):
problem, Scottie, you are theman. And so I'm running into work.
I really don't want to actually belate. And as soon as I
get in, I hear like thefrom like, how does it go serving
the universe? That's how our topof the hour every hour on zero one
hundred starts with like our top ofthe hour. It's called stager, So
(28:02):
it goes like as soon as Irun in, I hear from the top
surveying dow universe. I'm just like, yes, I made it. And
then I like quickly sit down andI like quickly push the on button.
I'm like, hey, it's Chris. And then I noticed that the mic
for some reason, when when peopleare working remote into our studio, like
the mic messes up and it takesa second to try to reset that mic.
(28:26):
So the mic wasn't even working,and it's just like bro, bro
bro, But I was on timetechnically, I did what I had to
do. It isn't that the bestfeeling ever? When it's just like God,
sends you just an extra two minutessomehow, and I was already not
stressing because I was like, there'snothing I could do about it. I
messed up here, like I amgoing to miss the top of the hour.
I should not be doing that.That is not market number one.
(28:48):
I am human, though, andI need to fix my TikTok addition addiction
number one. So this week Istarted again, which I've had to do
before, but then I get lazyabout it. Then I like kind of
creep back into my old habits.I start putting my phone out in the
kitchen to charge at ten PM.So right at ten no phone or else
I'm gonna be on my phone scrollingaimlessly on TikTok until two in the morning.
(29:11):
Like unfortunately my mommy sound that Idoes. My mom has the same
TikTok addiction that I do, andit's so bad, and I tell her,
Mommy, like, you have toget over that because then we get
tired for the daytime and blah blahblah. So I'm trying to be better.
My Saturday shift was great. Iactually got a lot of work done
during the week, so I didn'thave a whole bunch that was piling up
for my Saturday shift. And thenafter that I went home and I just
(29:34):
relaxed a little bit, and Ihonestly took a nap because I was hell
a tired. And then I wokeup because I got invited to eight birthday
dinner. My girl Alex was havingher birthday dinner at Bad Room in at
Columbus Circle. Here, like rightwhere Central Park starts and Bad Room is
is the new cool spot. It'sthe trendy, cool, cute spot.
(29:57):
I've been there a few times.Zaddi Ti took me there when I went
for the first time, and Ididn't even know it was like the cold
trendy spot. He said that someonerecommended it to him and he made resis
and it was like a really hardresi to make, and I was like,
dangz thatti, Okay, look atyou. And then after that we
went again and we took the kids. We took my nephew Alex, we
took his son, we took mybrother Junior, and my little brother is
(30:18):
Stevan. We went to Bad Romanwhen they were here for Christmas time,
and it's so good. And thenwe had a iHeart event recently that time
Square event. I told you aboutwhere the top sellers of the country were
here and we were gonna show themtheir billboard and Times Square. So the
dinner, the dinner before there wasthere and then now this bird I like,
live there. Now I'm like,okay, can we stop? Like
(30:41):
okay, I'm done with this place. I want to go find new places.
But the food is always so good. Ain't no barata like? Is
that? He say it? Buratalike bad Roman Bata? That little cheese,
a little whipped cheese, Give methat so good? So we ordered
that, we like got drinks.I didn't know any of the girls.
I only knew my birthday friend.But there was like a table of six
(31:03):
of us. And where does alla badass women killing it in our jobs
mostly Latinas and just doing our dangthings. Some of us are single,
some of us have maans. We'retalking about how treacherous the apps are for
the single ones. We're talking aboutdifferent situations with your boyfriends. It's just
(31:23):
a fun like girl power group andI loved that. I'm really thankful that
I get to hang out with myfriend Alex because we met three Yeah,
we went three years ago, Likewhen I first moved here to New York
City, and we've got a littlecloser. Recently, we've been inviting each
other to our birthday things and sothat's how we've been able to see each
(31:45):
other. But as of recently,we've been going to church together or just
kind of going out and having coffeetogether. And I feel like because we're
both really into the church and toour religions, we can help each other
out in those things. And she'sreally successful in what she does, so
it motivates me to be better andmotivates me to be a boss. And
she shares me what is going onwith her work, and she knows what's
(32:06):
going on with me and my work. And we're just like two women that
are just supporting each other to Latinasthat are trying to make it in this
crazy city and then navigate this crazyworld. And she gets to go and
do these amazing things with her job. She was just in Miami and got
to go too, like a CEO'smansion there, and she needs her own
(32:30):
episode because she got invited. Okay, I'm ana stop, I'm a stop,
I'm a stop. I'm gonna bea good person and I'm gonna let
her share her stories. But Yoh'sliving her best life, and anywhere she
goes, these men just flock toher and just like invite her to these
craziest things. And it's just funto see and hear about your single friend's
(32:52):
life. Because when I was inmy single era for the years that I
was here in New York City,it was craziness. That was a really
good time. And I still haveso much fun and I'm so thankful that
now I'm with my man Zaddy.But it's really funny hearing these men are
just wildild These men are just wild. It's really funny hearing. I mean,
(33:14):
you know you are single or youhave single friends, you hear the
stories of the streets and the trenches, and it's just fun hearing when your
friends are going through things like that. So we all got to catch up
and we were actually having dinner fora few hours. We're having really good
times with the Platika and the cheesemen all that, and then I went
(33:34):
home early, though we took ituber early home, probably like midnight.
I was back at home and thenext day I woke up, I went
to Misa, I went to hangout with my hospitality group, which was
great. And then after that,I was like, you know what,
Crystal, it's time for you toget your nalgas back in the gym because
you have less than a month untilyour vacation time that was requested is coming
(33:57):
up, so you need to looksummer body ready. So it has been
no carbs and I I took aplates class which was so hard. It
was so flipping hard. I almostcried. My other girl, Alex,
my girl al she is a likea luxury pilates instructor, so I get
to go take classes with her.And I was like, Alex, I'm
(34:19):
coming in, and I pulled inhard and I left almost crying, but
I felt good. I was wobbling, sure, I was wobbling out,
but I did it. Thank youvery much. And then I got home
and then my neighbor J came upfor a little bit. We love neighbor
JS. We haven't caught up inso long, but he caught me up
everything that's going on with him.I caught him up everything that's going on
with me. And then I wentback to my ten o'clock phone in the
(34:43):
kitchen, sleeping, waking up,going to work. A Monday. After
work, I did I went tothe gym. I went to the gym
and I ran my mile and Idid my yoga and I felt really good,
even though I felt super super supersuper. But yeah, I know
we all have our different health goals. I know some of us have been
(35:04):
trying, or some of us mightbe out there out and doing it every
day. And if that is you, I want to be you so bad.
And if that's not you, thenyou're me, and you're trying.
Maybe maybe one day this next week, you can give yourself a goal of
just to go walk around for thirtyminutes. You know, maybe instead of
eating the fool sandwich, you're gonnatake the top part of the BoNT off
like I started doing, and it'sjust gonna it's gonna help you a little
(35:27):
bit. Maybe whatever you serve yourselfto eat, you only have because we
be as Americans eating way too bigof portions. So I'm trying. I'm
trying to be a skinny legend forand a healthy skinny legend for our little
trip coming up. And then Tuesday, what do I do? I wake
up early and I go take myice skating class. Yes I do.
I haven't ice skated in like amonth, but with my schedule and everything,
(35:47):
I finally made it happen. Andit's looking like Tuesday mornings are gonna
be my skate days to put onmy little my little skates and to go
do my thing on the ice,living my best nine year old fantasy Tuesday.
And then after work Tuesday, wego to a bar down the street
because my boss is leaving. Ithink I told you ready right that my
boss here in New York City isleaving to go live their best life.
(36:10):
And my boss from San Francisco thatused to be my boss and kind of
still is a little bit for mywild ninety four nine stuff, is now
taking my boss here in New YorkCity's position, which is so funny because
he's just the man, and everyone'skind of giggling thing that he's following me
around to New York City. Buta shoot, if anybody's gonna follow me
(36:30):
is that man, because he isthe best man in the world. And
if there's one place too we gointo, it's New York City for our
field and our what we do.Because this is a number one market in
the whole country. NZ one hundredis the top pop station of the world,
so it's pretty dope that now myboss Mark here in New York is
leaving on to follow what him andhis family want to do, and now
(36:53):
my old boss Mark in San Franciscois going to be my new boss again.
He's gonna have a boss again herein New York, which I'm really
looking forward to because I have hadsome tough situations here at work, and
I've I haven't divulged anything. It'snot really my place to divulge, but
(37:13):
it's just not easy working with peoplesometimes, and there's just some things that
you cannot change, even though you'vetalked about it, and even though you've
wanted to. And I'm very thankfulthat I have someone again that has my
back and will be helping me navigatethe tough things that happen here at work.
So I'm really excited about that.And we had a whole I think
(37:37):
I told you we had like awhole survey earlier last week about me on
air. And I'm looking real good. I'm in shape, I'm doing everything
that I am required to do andneed to do here at work, and
more so, I feel very proud. I feel very happy and I feel
very secure with my job here sothat's the good news. We had a
(37:59):
going away party for my boss lastnight, and so a whole bunch of
industry people were there and a lotof our coworkers were there, and it's
great. I do get a littlebit of social anxiety though, even though
I love people and I enjoy talkingto people, it is a little hard
for me to sometimes navigate a roomfull of people. I obviously gravitate towards
(38:21):
the people that I know, andI know that networking is really important.
I feel like I used to bea little better at that, but I'm
just getting kind of a little morehermity, and I just I get afraid
that I'm going to say the wrongthing, or I just know that a
lot of big wigs are around,so I feel a little like on edge.
So I do kind of struggle withsocial anxiety sometimes, and especially last
(38:45):
night, I was just I wasjust really kind of nervous, and I
wasn't drinking, I was just eating. But I had a good time saying
hi to the people that I knew, and I did chop it up with
someone that I was familiar with,but I haven't really had a full conversation
with I'm good at the one onone, Hi, how do I know
you? Like? What's up withyou? Where are you from? I'm
(39:06):
good at the one on ones ina group setting, but when it's a
few of us talking, I feelkind of nervous that I don't know,
I just feel nervous. I justfeel nervous. I feel like people don't
want to really talk to me.I feel like I'm impeding. I feel
like I'm intruding, and it's justkind of hard. So after a little
bit, I was like, Ineed to go. I need to go.
I'm uncomfortable, Like I just needto go. So I left.
(39:29):
I went home, and I wasalready so tired. I was already so
tired that I almost took a napin between my job and that little shin
dig. But I got home andI was just so tired that I just
got everything ready for today and Iknocked out. I woke up really early
this morning because Dua Lipa was instudio for an interview. I prepped a
(39:52):
lot for this interview. She hasa new album Radical Optimism out me in
words, she has a new albumOptical Radical Optimism. It's because what I
see radical and optimism, it makesme think elliptical or optomeoticism, I don't
(40:13):
know. Those two words together aretough for me. Even Taylor Swifts do
album The Tortured Poets Department took meso long to get right. I was
getting it wrong all the time,like Taylor love You, Why are you
naming it that the Tortured Poets Department. That's just very complicated for me.
I'm a Swift, do you knowthat? So that was complicated. And
this album Radical Optimism was a littletough for me to remember too. But
(40:36):
I did a lot of prep forthis interview. Doul Lipa is one of
the biggest pop star top five popstars in the world right now, and
I am so happy of how Ihave been able to be less nervous for
these I am happy that I doa lot of prep. I've been doing
interviews for a long time now.It's ten years of doing our Is interviews,
(41:00):
interviewing everyone from Selena Gomez to EdSheeran. Now a Liipa was one
that I have not interviewed in person, and I felt very calm, cool
and collected. I had all myoutfits and everything ready from the night before.
I made sure to go to sleepearly and on time. I had
(41:20):
my milkshake ready in the freezer tojust like pop out and pour milk and
quickly smoothly it up, so I'mnot taking too long because I know at
a early call time, and Icalmly was not rushing to work. I
gave myself enough time to make itto work, to walk to work on
time. I had all my interviewquestions. They're like, you don't know,
(41:40):
especially when you're interviewing with someone else, because I don't do the interview
by myself. I do some ofthese with my partner, and it's kind
of hard because you don't know wherethey're going and you don't know where the
conversation is going to lead, butyou do want to get your questions in
there somehow. So I feel likeI've done a great job of being able
to navigate all those things, havingmy interview questions that I prep well and
(42:04):
I want to make sure I getin there and at the same time letting
the conversation flow like a real conversationand not being it so robotic and choppy,
because sometimes I look back at myinterviews, I'm my girl, that's
so cringey, Like you weren't evenlistening to what they were saying, because
you obviously want you also want tolisten to what they're saying and be present
in that moment instead of just Iwant to get these questions out right.
So I felt very confident. Ifelt like I prepared very well, and
(42:29):
I feel like even though this isone of the biggest interviews, I was
there early and which was actually ontime because she was a little early,
and we start off and I'm feelingcalm, cool, collected. She's in
a great mood and great spirit.She's very chill, very down to earth,
very present, very sweet, zeropercent diva, zero percent Eva.
(42:53):
And I love that about her becauseshe, like I said, is a
huge artist and has a big squad, but at the same time, she's
so sweet and it's just like aregular person you're talking to. And she
was open and she wasn't weird.I didn't, I don't. I'm not
asking any weird or violating questions.That's not the point of these conversations that
(43:15):
I have with these artists. ButI do want to ask thought provoking questions.
I don't want to just kiss upto them the whole time and not
get to know them. On sometype of level. So I'm happy that
I find a good balance with that, and then I was able to find
a good way to bring the thingsthat I wanted up for front and I'm
(43:37):
very thankful that she was open andwe talked about her new music, We
talked about her being on SNL nextweek. We talked about her writing style.
We talked about her loving playing atMadison Square Garden and why she loves
Mexico City so much, which isobviously so important for me because our family
family's from Mexico. So I lovedher sharing about that or her book,
(44:00):
what she got going on with herfamily and her cooking, and it was
just great. I feel like Ireally got in what I needed to get
in. And the most important confrontationI had was with her and crocs,
because her and I have the sameopinions on crocs. I heard her say
that one fashion blip that she willnever ever do is wear crocs, and
(44:20):
so I asked her about that.I was like, what is your beef
with crocs? Has that changed?Has any radical optimism come about about crocs?
And She's like, no, likethey're just not for me. I'm
like, but listen, they havethe platforms now they have the sandals and
she's like, no, I'm justnot a croc girly. So confronting Duliba
(44:43):
about her croc beef was fun andI can't wait for you to watch it.
It's going to be on her YouTubeas Z one hundred New York or
on the New hit List. Youcan check me out on all those things,
So I can't wait for you tosee that. And I just want
to say thank you again for hangingout with me for another episode of a
Crystal's Cap. Hope you enjoyed it. You can take us wherever you go
through Freeheart Radio app Obviously, I'mlive Monday through Friday two to six on
(45:06):
Z one hundred, tons of stationson the weekends and every night as well
to keep up again on everything atLack of Crystal, Little Sausselet's, and
with our daily mo to Vader.This one is called Jumpstart. This is
where we just give a little paragraphof motivation for the day. A thousand
things demand your time and attention.It seems you can never get it all
(45:28):
at once, so start with justone, get that completed, and immediately
your situation looks a lot better.When you've actually made some progress. More
progress not only looks possible, butlikely get a little momentum going, and
it has a good chance of continuing. Take the first step, even though
it feels hopeless, even though youdon't like it. That can launch a
whole new attitude. You'll soon realizeyou weren't as overwhelmed as you imagined yourself
(45:52):
to be. It's great to beworking at your way forward despite the challenges,
despite your I reluctance, jumpstart yourselfinto action. In just a short
time, you'll be running reliably onthe momentum of your efforts. It seems
like you can never get all done, so just start with one, get
that completed, and immediately your situationlooks a lot better. Yeah, if
(46:15):
you feel like your place at homeis just a little too crowded and cramped,
just start with one room to startwith, one corner of the room,
to start under your bed, andthen you just kind of start going
from there. That's how it feelsfor me when I feel like my entire
house is just like a disaster ora tornado, I cannot breathe, I
cannot feel calm. If my areais just a hot mess. I love
(46:37):
coming home to a clean apartment,and sometimes when just the week has gone
by so fast and you just haveclothes everywhere, and like the dishes aren't
done. It's like, okay,I wanna start with one thing. I'm
gonna start with the dishes, andthen the counter right next to it,
and then over there, I justhave a whole pile of shoes. Let
me get the shoes out of theway. Why can't really get the shoes
off the way because I have twominutes now and need to clean out some
of the shoes and throw some outthat I don't use and never wear anymore.
(47:00):
Little baby steps of little things canhelp you. So yeah, thousand
things demand your attention. Just startwith one and maybe start with a list.
A least can help two because thenyou'll know what you need to tackle.
So I hope you enjoyed that one, and we're going to do our
daily prayer to close it out.If you don't really pray or believe in
religion like that, then it's okay, thank you so much for hay.
(47:22):
Now you don't have to stay.If you want to see what the daily
prayer is about, then stick aroundand whatever you feel you feel, you
can switch the words God or Jesusto love and lie in good energy.
This is for April twenty fourth,from the book Jesus Calling. It says,
rest and the stillness of my presencewhile I prepare for you this day.
(47:42):
Let the radiance of my glory shineupon you as you wait on me
and confident trust, Be still andknow that I am God. There is
both a passive and an active sideto trusting me. As you rest in
my presence focusing on me, Iquietly build bonds of trust between us.
When you respond to the circumstances ofyour life with affirmations of trust, you
actively participate in the process. I'malways with you, so you have no
(48:07):
reason to be afraid. Your fearoften manifests self and excess planning. Your
mind is so accustomed to this patternof thinking that you're only now becoming aware
of how persuasive it is and howmuch it hinders your intimacy with ME.
Repent of this tendency and resist it. Whenever you realize you're wandering down this
well worn path. Return to MYpresence, which always awaits you in the
(48:30):
present moment. I accept you backwith no condemnation. So I'm forty six
to ten Romans eight to one.As you rest of my presence, focusing
on me, I quietly build abond of trust between us. Your mind
is so accustomed to excess planning andfears, manifesting to the tendency, and
(49:00):
resist it. Whenever you realize you'rewandering down this well, we're in path.
Presence, joy, grace, allthose things. Hope that this daily
prayer helped you as well, andall your special intentions. I'm going to
give good energy and love to andhope that your prayers are answered as well.
I have some for me, sokeep me in mind. And I
(49:22):
just want to thank you again foralways hanging out with me every week.
Right here for Crystal's Nightcap, andI'll see you again next week
