Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello to your beautiful palm Puzzler. I'm at Crystal Olsaz
back with another episode of a Crystal's Nightcap tonight. Please
leave Justin Bieber alone. The new live action Lelo and Stitch.
Selena Gomez sent me her Oreos collab. We hit the
Dersey Shore to party with Alex Earl, take shots with
a Little John, selfie's with a Jay Wow, I'm making
(00:20):
my New York City Broadway debut. A Stranger, Trauma dumped
on me and more. Sit back, relax, It's Crystal's Nightcap.
Thanks again for rolling through. We're gonna get to the
(00:41):
headlines of the week, what everybody was talking about. This
is where we share the cheese man. Yo. Have you
seen the out Oh my god, we can't believe it.
We're sharing the cheese man. We're sharing the cheese Mathe
(01:16):
leave Justin Bieber alone. In case you missed it. Over
the long weekend at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, Kendrick
Lamar and Sizza they are on their tour, so they
hit the stage and as a special appearance, Justin Bieber
pulled up. Now there's a lot of fans that were
questioning Justin Bieber, how he looked on stage, his eyes,
(01:39):
his posture. Yes, there was a moment where Sissa grabbed
Justin Bieber's face like a little child that says that
on the but Justin Bieber ended up grabbing Scissa's hand
and then kissing the top palm of it as she's
kind of pulling it away. Now, well, listen, Hayley Bieber
(02:01):
was there, she was recording the whole thing. She was there.
I'm gonna defend Justin Bieber all costs, all right. I
know that there were some questionable videos of Justin Bieber's
posture at Coachella, and again people are questioning his eyeballs
and if his eyes were a little too droopy or not. Okay,
(02:23):
back to sofar on stage with Sizza, him leaning a
little bit and some foldage. People are accusing Justin of
being under some substances. I see all the comments. I
know everybody saying I know what's going on, and I
don't know, girl, I do not know. And that is
(02:43):
why I will defend Justin Bieber to everything. Because I
like Justin Bieber. I've not always agreed with him, but
I also don't think that he's ever been a terrible,
terrible person. Sure he was in a toxic relationship, possibly
with and Gos back in the day. We don't know
too too much about that. All we know is that
she's mentioned that she went through a terrible heartbreak, and
(03:06):
all of us have, most of us have. I feel
like a lot of us have been in young toxic
relationships before, done and said things we don't agree with.
I definitely have, and I've spoken on that before. I've
been in toxic relationships. I've been a toxic partner. I've
been in toxic situationships, I've done not the nicest things
(03:27):
to people, and I'm thankful that I can reflect and
take accountability and grow from that. So I feel like
there's so much slander when it comes to Justin Bieber
and Haley thought Me and Poperci. I feel like she's
just trying to live her best life. She's very poised.
I know that not everybody agrees with her or things
that she has said, but like she has really she's
(03:48):
never done anything so malicious. Again, when we were younger
and catfights over boys, maybe we haven't said the nicest
things are done the best things. But as of now,
I mean, she's around my age and I feel like
she's grown a lot. She is someone that I think
is a great role model. I think Selena Gomes I'm
in is a great role model. So seeing that anytime
they post anything, their fandoms are attacking each other, it
(04:09):
is so childish. I hate to see. I wish that
we didn't pit women against each other like that, and
it sucks to watch. And in justin Bieber situation, I
don't know what's going on with him. All I know
is that when Chadwick Boseman was getting dragged for losing
a whole bunch of weight and looking sickly, it was
because he had cancer and everyone was dragging him, making
(04:31):
fun of him and saying, oh my gosh, the cow
skinny he is. Look at him, he looks so sick. Haha.
He died of cancer. Okay. All I know is that
when everybody was dragging Liam Payne, I don't even I
wasn't publicly and I've never publicly dragged Liam Payne. I
did agree that some of the things that he did
was cringey, But when people were bullying him relentlessly online,
(04:53):
the guy that passed away from one direction, they were
so mean and cruel to Liam Payne line for years,
over and over and over again, and saying that he
wasn't as talented as his coparts, that he was cringey,
that he was a pick me, all these things, and
then look, he passed away. He was struggling with deep
(05:15):
addiction issues. He passed away, and the whole world is
having vigils and memorials for Liam Payne and saying, oh
my gosh, like, we love you, Liam, we love one direction.
We're so sorry Liam, Like, okay, but where was that
energy when he was alive? You guys drag him through
the mud when he's alive. I am praying that the
same fate does not happen to Justin Bieber. I'm praying
(05:38):
that he lives a long, healthy life. But y'all forget
that Justin Bieber has lime disease. Y'all forget that I
personally know my mentor some of your best friends JV
passed away from lime disease. Lime disease affects people in
different ways. And you don't know what medication Justin Bieber's on.
(05:59):
You don't know what passed Justin Bieber's I'm not yelling
at you, I'm sorry. I'm just very passionate about this, Like,
it really hurts me to see people dragging this man
that like is doing nothing wrong. You might not agree
with everything he does, you might not agree with what
he posts. And then oh, my gosh, the Vogue girl,
(06:19):
the Vogue, the Vogue situation. Where did I talk about this,
this this past episode where I think I did? Or
he posted the Vogue cover of Hailey Bieber and then
everyone was dragging for him because he told he said,
oh yeah, when when we were in a big fight,
I was really mad and I was very mean to Haley.
I told her that she would never be on the
(06:40):
cover of Vogue, and look at her. She in the
cover of Vogue now, and everyone bullied him to smithereens.
I knew what he was trying to say. I knew
what he meant. He was meaning. Dang. I was really
mean and awful at one point, and I said this,
but she's look at her, look at my wifey, I
love you, and she's on cover of Vogue. Like that's
what he meant. The execution maybe wasn't one hundred percent.
Maybe he should have had some and vet that, but
(07:01):
he's just a human and now seeing that he's a
blessing La, he's blessing the fans. He's coming on to
do a duet with Sizza, and we don't know if
he's on some medication. We don't know exactly what he's done,
and a lot of you are very certain about what
he's on. Nobody knows. So the dragging of Justin Bieber,
(07:23):
I'm not gonna stand for it. I'm gonna defend it.
I did. It hurts to see him because he one
of the biggest, most popular artists of our time, been
is so talented, went through so much, and now is
dealing with an uncurable disease, lime disease, and still tries
(07:45):
to give us art whenever he can. I just wish
people gave him more grace. I wish that he wasn't
slandered so much. It's not easy being Justin Bieber. It's
not easy being the most famous person in the world
and getting dragged for any single thing you do is
definitely not easy for Haley Bieber. It's definitely not easy
for Selena Gomez and Benny Blancos seeing that people are
still after all these years. Girl, it's been seven years.
(08:09):
Haley and Justin have been together for seven years. Like,
when are we gonna get over it? Prayers for Justin,
prayers for Haley, prayers for Selena Gomez, and I just
hope that people can be nicer and give more grace
to him because to me, he is still my prince
of pop. Oh and back to Selena Gomez. Her team
sent me her oreos. The Selena Gomez oreos. They are
(08:35):
we see a layer of chocolate and cinnamon cream, a
layer of swing condensed milk cream, sandwich with chocolate cinnamon
flavored wafers, and a lot of the little cookies have
different things on them like little flaming hearts and little
music note some headphones her signature. Thank you so much
for the team for sending that to me. I tried
(08:55):
them out. I review them and they're good. Girl. They
are giving orgshat tha. I love them so brava. I
put him in my could be here at work and
some of my coworkers were like, hey, girls, so can
I try something. I came back, girl, there have gone.
I'll have them all gone. But honestly, it's better because
if they eat them better because I'm not because I
need to. I to squeeze up by my wedding, like
(09:17):
I need to make sure that I'm not eating anything
that I should not be eating. I'm trying to cut
out the sweets. So we're chilling with that. What else
is happening in the Cheeseman world, Oh my gosh, the
New Life Action Leelo and Stitch. Everybody's talking about it.
It just I haven't heard of it's breaking records. I
know that it already surpassed what they spent on it,
(09:39):
so that's always good news. The Little Girl, the lead actress,
the Little li lo Oh my goodness. She is a star.
She has a bundle of joy, of light, of love.
She is so talented. I love Leelo and Stitch. I
love the soundtrack. You know me. I'm an Elvis girl,
so I love Elvis. I really want to watch it.
The Little Duck and my brother Junior, they went to
(09:59):
go watch it. I'm so jealous. I'm so annoyed. The
fomo is real and the Little Duck said he loved
the movie, that it was one of his favorite movies
and it was so good. I'm like dang Zaddi and
our son. They're waiting for me to go back home
so we can watch together. Even though I really really,
really really want to see it, so yes, I'm excited.
There are some comments regarding the alternative ending. I'm not
(10:22):
going to spoil anything because I know a lot of
us still haven't seen it, but there is a quite dramatic,
quite controversial ending of this new live action Leelo and Stitch.
Some people are not digging it. Some people are like,
this is the opposite of o'hana means family in the
what it went on? I was about to spill what happens.
(10:44):
I don't know if you've seen the comments, but people
are leaving scathing, terrible reviews on the changes. I don't know.
Did you see it already? What do you think about it?
Let me know and everything. I'm at La Crystal Rosas.
Is it worth me going to see? I do want
to say it in theaters? Son, wait to go watch it? Now?
How about we check in? What's going on with my life?
Inside of my crevices? Was gone in my world? 're
(11:07):
heading into Crystal's cave? Hello? Who's in here? It's so dark? Ew?
What's dripping? I get step on something? Something? You're now
inside Crystal's cave? Cave? What a life I get to live?
I'll tell you this week. I mean, it wasn't even
a full week that I caught up with you. But
(11:29):
this past weekend has been so amazing. After work a Thursday,
at me and my coworker Jewels, we got ready because
we were doing quite a few things. I mean, first
of all, we were gonna hit up Cowboy Carter. Yes,
Queen Bee Beehive is among us. She was performing at
MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. And I'll tell you one
(11:51):
thing about my Life Stadium. I hate with a passion
getting to MetLife Stadium, but we pulled through. We dropped
all of our luggage off on my coworker, Josh Martinez's
car because after the show he was gonna pick us
up and drive us to Jersey, the Jersey Shore from
Moral Day weekend. So we get all glamor, We get
(12:13):
all ready for Beyonce. And even though I fully wasn't
passionate about this album, I oh, don't hate me, don't
hate me, behive, but Renaissance was great and I listened
to it through and I listened through it once and
I liked it. Seeing Renaissance live, seeing Beyonce live period
is incredible kind of performer that she is no one
(12:35):
on the planet is like her. You know me, I'm
a swifty Beyonce just she just has this twang. She
has this swag that I it's it's jaw dropping. So
being able to see her at Renaissance with my man
Zaddy two years ago was everything. And that was actually
(12:57):
the first night that he told me I loved he
loved me so were because remember he told me I
love you for the first time when we were drunk
at my brother Junior's Dirty thirty. On the uber ride home,
we were again jack in the box in our Uber
and he told me that he loved me drunk and
then I was like, wait, would you just say and
then he just like nothing, I'm like okay, and then
(13:19):
we got it. We kind of got into a little
riff during before during Beyonce, and then after the fact
we had a debrief and talked about it and then
he told me he loved me. So Beyonce is very
special to me and Zaddie. It was when he first
told me he loved me sober and I told him
I love you too for the first time. I told
him I love you for the first time after he
told me he loved me. So that was beautiful. And
(13:39):
so seeing Cowboy Carter. I listened to the album. It
wasn't my absolute favorite, but there's some songs that are
amazing on it, and just go into a Beyonce event
period is everything. So it was so much fun. It
was again jaw dropping seeing her. I got to see
Blue Ivy on stage and Little Roomy, her other daughter
as well, so it was it was a who And
(14:00):
Josh Martinez he got off work at ten, so he's like, y'all,
I'm gonna pick up at ten thirty. I was like, perfect,
because I don't like leaving at the end of concerts.
I like, if I'm going to leave at the end
of a concert, I'm going to stay there for at
least twenty minutes so that I'm not in the herd
leaving or I like to leave early. So it was perfect.
And we were going to meet Josh Martinez out in
the parking lot. We had a perfect plan. But then
(14:22):
he tries to get into the right share area and
they're not letting him. They're not letting him in, so
me and Jule spend probably twenty five minutes walking to
him in the freezing cold, in the rainy mist. But
it's okay, you know, and we were very thankful that
Josh even did that for us, because he could have
just went all the way to the Jersey Shore without us.
But he was very cool. He was a real one
(14:43):
for picking us up. So then we hit the Jersey Shore.
That night, I automatically go to sleep, even though even
though we pulled up to the hotel and our entire
sales team they are goers. They are ragers. They are
just raging. They're playing pool, they're drinking, they're barely standing up,
and I commend them. That was me at one point.
(15:04):
But I gotta get up early to do a hair,
makeup and stuff for the event the next day. So
I was just like, I would love to party with
you guys, but I just gotta go hit the sack.
So we it was already late by the time we
got there. It was already twelve thirty. By the time
I got to sleep, it was one am. Wake up,
do hair and makeup. Me and Jewels are vibe in
to Little John because we are doing our Z one
(15:25):
hundred Jump Start to Summer. It's a show that we
have at the Jersey Shore the Friday of Memorial Day
weekend where people are there from six am, listening to
Elvis Durana the Z one hundred Morning Show, hanging out
with Elvis, and then the music starts at ten and
so people are partying from ten am all night, all
week and long. We are starting summer. That is what
we do at Z one hundred. So it was really
(15:47):
cool because my role there was to host on stage
when the artists are coming on to do interviews backstage
and in our cabana that we had. It was so fun,
and there's sand everywhere, and then there's like indoor venue,
there's seafood, there's unlimited drink tickets. Girl, we are again,
it lit again, it popping. I'm very cautious with me
(16:11):
drinking on the job because I'm a lightweight these days.
I don't drink a lot anymore. Even though I wanted
to get slashed at this event, trust me, I really
wanted to, but the way that the day was going,
I was busier. I was interview, interview on stage, social content,
social content, so it was so it was a lot,
so I wanted to make sure that I didn't look
(16:32):
like a fool. So I actually I really didn't drink much.
I had a shot that someone from a sales team
brought his bros. So they all offered me a shot
that was soon when I got there, and then I
didn't really drink after that much. I got a tequila
soda because I'm trying to be the corpse bride for
my wedding coming up. I want to be a skinny legend.
(16:53):
I want to be getting ozembic allegations. So I've been
working really hard to not go too crazy with carbs.
I've been managing my carbs. I've been managing my sweets.
I really don't eat any type of sugars or sugary things. Really.
I've just been very cautious and I already lost seven pounds,
so I'm proud of my trajectory. I have time, I
(17:14):
have some time. We're having a fall wedding, so the
time is are on our side. However, I just want
to be cool me. Typically I would get either maybe
a lemon drop cup or I would get a cranberry
vodka or something like that, because I'm very, very basic,
and you know, when you're ordering at a busy bar,
you just want to get your drink and get out.
(17:36):
But I'm like, you know, what, what are the skinny
minies drink. Oh yeah, they drink Tekuilo soda. So I
did that and it was fine drinking that. And then
I had some interviews. I got to interview Jaywow one
on one because remember the beginning of the week, I
got to interview the whole crew of the Jersey Show,
and so Jay Wow pulled up, so I got to
sit down and interview her with our legend from Elvis
drand Scary Jones. And then I had my girl who's
(17:57):
a DJ. Her name is Piro Tiger. I had her
her hop into the interview because she's a huge j
Wow fan, so that was really fun. And Pyro she
also was mixing there. I mean I met her last
year at Pride and then we became cool and then
she's coming to the studio to say hi, and this
year she was on the lineup for our show, so
it was so cool to see her. And then I
(18:18):
got to hang out with Zara Larson a little bit
and Dash I interviewed her, and then it was my
time to interview Little John Now again, thank you so much,
because Alisa producer, she put in an overtime. On the overtime,
I was overly prepared for all of these things. I
wasn't nervous for Little John. I just had never worked
with him before, so I didn't know what his vibe
was going to be on Sometimes these really big artists
(18:40):
could actually I've had really good interactions with all of them.
I just didn't know what his vibe was, so I
literally just did not know what was going to go on.
But as soon as he got through, I kind of
debriefed him on what I was going to talk to
him about, and he was hecka cool about everything. And
my dream was to be would have been to take
(19:01):
a shot with Little John, because obviously he has his
song shots, but I don't know if he was drinking
or not. So I asked. I was like, Okay, we're
gonna talk about this. We're gonna talk about this, We're
gonna talk about this. I was like, my dream would
be to take a shot with you. I have water
shots there. I don't know if you're down for that
and if that's your vibe, And he said, actually, I've
been on a healthcake for the past few years, so
is it okay if we skip that. I'm like, absolutely,
(19:22):
Like I would never. First of all, I don't want
to put on the spot because everyone has a different journey.
Well what if he was sober? Right? And I don't
want to like, I didn't want to be rude. So
when it comes to stuff with alcohol, I'm very sensitive
and aware that everyone is on a different journey when
it comes to alcohol. I'm on my own journey. Let's
not talk about the bad Bunny Blackout of twenty twenty two.
(19:43):
That was scary. So I've come a long way from then,
and I'm very respectful and aware of people in their
drinking journey. So I'm happy that I vetted him with that.
And he was like, well, let's just skip that if
that's cool, And I'm like fine, So we had our interview.
It was he gave me very present. He was very present.
He's very wise. Girl. He's done so much in their
(20:05):
entertainment world. He's done TV shows, movies, He's worked in
so many genres. Little John has worked in Did I
Get the One? Pop? Country? Edm He's worked in so
many different genres. And I brought that up too, and
I brought up people that he would want to work with.
He said he'd want to work with Subrita Carpenter and
(20:26):
Chapel Rown that was a cute clip that we pulled out.
He says that he wants to be a talk show host,
that that is his what he's manifesting this year. He
gave a lot, He gave everything that needed to be
given and talking about him at the Jersey Shore and
all these things. It was so so much fun having
that conversation with Little John. And I mean everybody came out.
(20:46):
Our entire sales team, my boss is boss, everybody was
there and I feel like I did my thing. So
after that, I had a little debrief with my boss
who were just chatting about the event and how it
was on his end, and it was really cool to
chatting with my boss Mark. But I heard that Little
Job was on stage. I'm like, Mark, I gotta go.
I gotta go party. So Little John was already on
stage by the time I ran out there. I'm like,
excuse me. I sprint to the bar. Our homie Scary
(21:10):
gives me some drink tickets. I'll give the girl a tip,
and I had maybe like two two three more drinks
like me two shots and a drink. So that was
actually really good for me because I think I told
you I want to get gurnied out. My goal was
to get gurnied out of Jenkinson's and I actually I
was not even that drunk at all, which growth, right,
(21:35):
definite growth, And I'm proud of myself. I'm very proud
of myself. Also because a lot of my coworkers there.
I didn't want to get too too sloppy because that's
kind of gross. But after the event, I took producer
Alissa Herman's who pulled up, and my girl Jewels. I
took them to lunch because they were helping me and
they were just the best. And I was hungry and
(21:55):
Alyssa was down to drive us to the train, so
I was like, well then why don't I just take
us to lunch. So we had a little rooftop lunch
moment there at Jenkinson's Boardwalk and it was so cute.
And then afterwards we got some ice cream and I
saw some promo kids there and I was like, whatever,
y'all want to get whatever the promo to you guys,
get it, I'll put it on my card. You're all good.
So we all had a little cute moment with ice cream,
and then Alisa drove me and my girl Jewels. We
(22:17):
were debating if we wanted to stay an extra night
or not in Jersey at the Jersey Shore. But girl,
I love my bed. I love my bed, and I
know that if I would have gone out, I would
have just gone haga drunk, and I just I don't
really want to do that that much anymore these days,
especially without my man's I just at that bah, I
(22:41):
think I'm just there's a time and a place, and
I didn't realize how I was going to get back
home the next day. I didn't one hundred percent know
how we were going to sleep there. We had all
our stuffs. I was just like, girl, let's just go home.
Let's go home. So me and Jewel. So yes, Alyssa
drives me and Jewels to the train. We pull up
to the train and our girl Pyro is there, my
DJ friend, I said, with hers crew. So we all
(23:04):
take the train back to the city together. And one
of my coworkers was there too, shout out to you,
you're the homie, and he was so sweet. I never
had hung out with this coworker before, and he was
really really just a chill, nice, sweet guy. He really
reminded me of my brother Junior, just a jolly, happy
to be there, unproblematic, looking out for us girls, not
being creepy like. It's a breath of fresh air, honestly,
(23:27):
a breath of fresh air. And he's I really respect
him a lot. He's a really good guy. And he's
worked on a few accounts with me. I haven't worked
too closely with him. This was the first time that
we really had a moment to chat and vibe and
he's a real one. I really appreciated that. So yes,
it took about the almost girl for three hours to
get home. I got home, I like it was like
(23:48):
nine thirty or something like that, and then I just
bed rotted. And then I woke up the next day, Saturday,
I'm thinking I'm not gonna go out, I'm gonna do something. Nope,
I just need to day by myself in my apartment that
I pay crazy amounts of money for to just do nothing,
to just order food and bedrot, bedrock, death scroll, just
(24:13):
troll mode, gremlin extraordinary. And that's what I did all
day and all night. And as I'm scrolling on TikTok,
I go through alex Earl's feed and guess where she's at.
Guess where she was the night that I left the
(24:34):
dirty Jersey Shore. She went to the bar, that slash
club that Scary invited me to go, and I said, no,
I'm going back to New York City. So I could
have partied with Alex Earl, but I still wouldn't have. Honestly,
I feel like, hmmm, for the story of it, maybe
I've been there before though I've been to DJ's at
(24:58):
the Jersey Shore before I went the first I went
to the Jersey Shore for r Z one R Drums
start to Summer. Right after our event at Jenkinson's Boardwalk,
I rallied with Scary from Elvis Duran the ZE one
hundred Morning show and our sales crew and we went
to DJ's and it was ratchet. Everyone was so twisted
(25:22):
and it was fun. I mean it was fun at
that time. Thinking of going back again, I really just
I don't want. I don't. I really don't. I don't
not want to, Like I don't want to. They're all
twenty years old, like everyone there is twenty one to
twenty three. I'm thirty one. It's just it's not an
(25:43):
area for me to be at, like I already know.
It's the walls are sweating, the walls are sweating, and
I had such a fun frat year's life, Like, thank
you to my Brimacatto that let me live her frat
life with her. Let thank you to my girl page
at cal Berkeley that let me live that frat girl
(26:04):
sorority life with her because she was in a sorority
and I wasn't, but she took me to every single
midnight everything that they had. I was on the buses,
I was everywhere these little sorority girls in cal Berkeley
were because of my girl Page. So I had a
good early twenties. And now I'm thirty one. I don't
need to be in that anymore. Like, I just don't.
I'm trying to think maybe for the Instagram story I
(26:28):
would have because I had absolutely nothing to do Saturday,
So maybe if I heard, you know, Alex Earl's gonna
pull up later to DJs, I might just for the
story of it, just for the content of it. Do
I regret my decision? No, Like, I am totally fine
that I didn't stay that night and I did absolutely
nothing Saturday, So I'm okay in that sense. I'm just
not really that much of a rager. I have to
really be particular these days about my rage because it
(26:51):
will knock me out for the next three days if
I decide to rage like that. So yes, Alex Earl,
the Queen of TikTok, the Queen of in influencing. She
was there partying at DJ's at the Jersey Shore that night,
and I was just like, dang it, I could have
been there, well, I could have got a an ig pick.
But it's okay. You know, we win some, we lose some.
(27:11):
I got my Jay Wow moment. That's more my speed,
right Jenkinson's Jaywow, Lil John. That's where God wanted me
that day. And then that moment at the Jersey Shore.
I'm okay missing a little Alex or a moment my
tie with her will come. So then Saturday I do nothing.
Sunday I wake up, I go to church, and because
I did absolutely nothing Saturday, I'm like, I gotta be outside.
(27:33):
I got to be in these streets. So I am
also in my bachelorette bridal era right now, and I'm
going to be in this era for the next three years,
and I'm so excited about it. So I want to
go thript shopping and look for some cute bachelorette slash
bridal stuff. Thank goodness. I already have my wedding dress,
but I don't have a veil, I don't have a glove.
(27:55):
I don't have a bachelorette dress. We're still up in
the air about my bachelorette kind of still in the
fetal planning stages. I don't have anything really other than
my wedding dress. So I want to go to some
thrift stores to see if I can find anything cute,
fun and fresh. So I go to the Lower east Side.
I'm walking around, I get a little iced coffee after MYSA,
(28:16):
and I find the area that there's a few thrift stores,
but it's not really like what I'm looking for. I'm
looking for very out there pieces, very different pieces. I
feel like I'm going into a thrift store and I'm
saying T shirts and jeans. I'm going into another thrift
store and I'm seeing T shirts and jeans. I'm going
into another store and it's different stuff, but nothing really
(28:40):
why or que or sparkly. And then I'm asking the worker.
They're thinking, Hey, I have a bachelorette coming up. Any
thrift or secondhand store, it doesn't have to be thrift,
but maybe elevated secondhand store that would have these cute
things for a bachelorette and she said, yeah, let me
give you this this. These are places around here. Let
me get I cut my coworker heem, I know some places.
(29:00):
He gives me some names, and there's a girl standing
there and she goes, oh, you're just gonna be thrift
shopping today. I said, yeah, I'm just gonna be bouncing
around here in the Lower east Side. She said, oh,
I could go with you, and I was like, okay,
I'm just just getting a cute, little looking white girl
around my age. I'm like, okay, sure. I mean I
was planning just to be either by myself on the
(29:20):
phone with my mom or my man, or just listening
to a podcast. So I was like, okay, the more
the merrier. So this I don't know where random girl
is now coming with me to these drift stores, and
she's cool. I quickly learned that she is. Boy. I
see that mass. She's in her depressed era, and we've
(29:40):
all been there one way or another. She is in
her depressed era. She's telling me that she's hella skinny
now and depressed because of something really bad that had
happened to her. I'm not going to put all her
infro out, but pretty much a nightmare from anyone happened
to her. And it was so sad hearing about that,
and she starts trauma dumping on me, and I just
(30:01):
feel so bad about everything that she's saying. But at
the same time, I'm thankful that I'm not going through
these things. And it just seems like she needed a
friend and someone to just open up to and just
be like nice to her and to hang out with
her because she was in town visiting her sister. So
(30:22):
you know, we're just shopping, we're going from place to place,
we're yapping a little bit. She's telling me, oh, that
looks cute, or what about this? What about that? We're
trying on different things and it ends up being a
really nice early afternoon and I'm happy that I was
there for her, even though she's a complete stranger, you know,
for her to be brave enough to ask someone she
(30:42):
doesn't know, hey, can I just hang out with you
and thrift with you? Like that was brave of her
to do, and I'm I'm thankful that I was there
to help her out during this really tough time. We
ended up connecting after and she said she lives in
Terrytown and that if I ever wanted to just get
out of the city, that she lives with her family
and they have a pool, I can go hey out
their pool whenever I want. And it was just so sweet.
I don't think I'm ever gonna do that, but sometimes
(31:05):
you do need to get out of the city, so
I don't know. Maybe if I really need to, I'm
sure she would have her doors open for me. So
it was an awesome evening early afternoon with her, and
then I was gonna link up with my girl Michelle
because it was her birthday weekend. So I linked up
with Michelle at one of her friends barbecues a same
in the Lower East Side, and he was this man
(31:27):
who was barbecuing for everyone. We all brought drinks and
we were just like yap and I had met some
of her friends before, so I knew one guy and
him and I re raapping about stuff and it was
really nice and it was cool. It was a very
nice New York City esque weekend and it was a
brickstone so it was like in a courtyard and a
big apartment, so that was cool and I got to
(31:50):
meet some cool people and just have some nice chats
and IBE had like one two drinks. I got home
maybe like nine thirty ish. It was such a beautiful
evening too, so nice the weather because as I mentioned,
it's been so rough out here, winter has been wintering,
and now it's finally feeling like spring slash summer, and
it really does make me want to be outside. I mean,
(32:10):
I have been cooped up. I've been sad girl sometimes
for a little bit in my apartment. I'm just like,
you know what, I want to be back outside. I
just want to meet people. I just want to talk.
I just want to enjoy New York City. So I
ended up having an amazing Sunday, and then yesterday I
pulled up here to work. And today was also incredible
because I was invited to go on a podcast through
(32:34):
Berkeley Berkeley College here in New York City, not Berkeley
Cal Berkeley in the Bay, but over here there's another
Berkeley College. So iHeart has a partnership with Berkeley College.
One of our DJ's pro styles hosts a podcast with
one of the Berkeley College prs. Her name is Penny
and she's amazing, and they invited me on their podcast
to talk about my life, journey and my story in radio.
(32:55):
You've heard it a million times, so it was nice
being able to share my story and they we're so
sweet in the interview, and I really admire both of
them and I really enjoy working with both of them,
so it was nice to be on the other side
of an interview and give my story to them. And
then the clothing department from Broadway Aladdin Broadway Aladdin pulled
(33:18):
up because I'm making my Broadway debut. Isn't that kind
of crazy? I'm going to be on Broadway. I'm it's
called us US, a walk on role where sometimes Broadway
shows have a little role here and there where people
can just come in for one off shows. And because
(33:38):
iHeartRadio and Z one hundred and I have been working
with Aladdin on Broadway as an endorsement, they invited me
to be part of their show. So I have a
few lines. This is happening next Thursday, which I'm so
excited for. Uh huh May June June fifth. I'm sorry,
and my family is flying out for it. I am so, so,
(34:00):
so so excited. I haven't said anything because I get
nervous saying things because I don't know. I just I'm
very nervous to say things out loud sometimes that are
awesome and happening because it just makes me feel like
something might sabotage or something might go wrong. But at
the end of the day, it's booked. Today I did
my fitting for my outfit. I'm going to be a
(34:22):
game show host for one of their scenes. And the
good thing about that role is that as a game
show host, I have flashcards, so I don't even have
to fully memorize my lines. I am going to, but
it's just a few lines. I'm just in for a
few minutes. But I'm going to be on Broadway in
New York City, Like what the flip is going on?
So exciting And I tried on my fit today and
(34:44):
it's such a cute outfit as a game show host.
It's pink and gold and glittery, and my cheecheeses are
going to be out and it is so so so cute.
I'm going to post the fitting today on my ig
at Black crystaltal Sas if you want to see what
it looks like that is happening. We are making our
Broadway debut. Isn't that crazy? Now, This isn't fully new
(35:06):
to me. When I was little, I was actually in
plays in musicals. I did my debut musical in the
fifth grade. It was called Campcoyania. It was at my school,
and I was the leading role. The little girl's name
was Crystal. So then they just had me auditioned for
it and I got the role as Crystal. And I'll
(35:26):
never forget that. There was someone in the grade above
me and she looked at me and she was like,
the only reason you got the role is because your
name is Crystal. I was just like, okay, girlfriend, whatever.
But yeah, I was living my Disney Channel in high
school musical with the musical play Fantasy, And yeah, I
was in the fifth grade. I'm out here remembering lines
(35:46):
and doing the thing. And I know my dad has
it all on tape on the like one million percent
has it on a VHS tape. We haven't seen it
in so long. But yeah, I would start a musical
in the fifth grade, and then in the seventh In
the eighth grade or I think it was the seventh
or eighth grade, I auditioned for another musical, The Three
(36:07):
Cross Church and castor Valley. They did these crazy, awesome
kids musicals and it was Cinderella, and I was already
a little older. I was on the older end. I
think it was maybe like the second to laster last
year that before I was going to age out, but
I auditioned and I got the evil step mother, so yes,
uh huh, kind of full circle because now I'm a
real step mother. I'm not evil. I like to say
(36:29):
I'm not evil, but yeah, I played the evil step
mother and I was iconic. I literally did that, so
that was amazing. And then in high school, I my
freshman year, I tried out for the play with my
best best best friend Isabella, and we both got chorus
because obviously we're freshmen, so we're gonna do chorus. And
I just remember seeing the sophomores and the juniors auditioning
(36:49):
because it was open auditions, so we all get to
see I just remember thinking, dang, they're so brave, they're
so bold, like they're really getting into these characters. That's
amazing and mean. Isabella was the chorus, so we were
just in the background. But I remember the director said, oh,
we need someone to do this line. Who wants to
do the line? And I raised my hand, and so
I got one line, Yes, I did. I got one
(37:11):
line in my high school play. And my line was,
don't go playing baseball around Main Street. It was our town.
And it was the most boring play of my entire life,
Like it was so boring. It was set in like
the eighteen hundreds and like a farm, and I just
remember it being so boring. And I just remember the
guys and the girls and the play being very caddy
(37:33):
and drama, and I remember there's always drama with the
seniors and the juniors. And I had a really good
time me in Isabella, Like we had a good time
even though we're completely the background and we're barely in
it and I only had one line. We had a
good time. But I feel like I had a sour
taste in my mouth about musicals because that was just
so boring to me, Like I just I thought it
(37:53):
was so so boring. But when my mom went to
go see it, she said it was a great play.
I was just like, I can't even tell you right
now what the plays about. It's about this like little
farm girl and guy falling in love, and I don't
remember anything other than my line, So then after that,
instead of continuing with musicals and in the theater department,
(38:13):
I kind of veered more to cheerleading and I started
doing ballet cordico, so I started doing Mexican ballet, and
I started doing everything, literally everything else, cheerleading, lacrosse, rugby,
like I played every student council. So I kind of
veered away from the theater world just because I felt
like that play was so boring to me, and then
(38:34):
the cattiness of the cass like I didn't really fully
get along with everybody else in the drama department, even
though I took drama classes too, on top of being
in the in the musical. But yeah, it just wasn't
really my calling. I never dreamed of being on Broadway.
It was never because I never even thought I could
ever do it. But here we are, are I'm making
(38:56):
my Broadway debut. I can't even believe it's really happening.
I remember last year there was whispers of it possibly happening,
and then it got solidified a few months ago, and
now literally today I did my fitting for it, and
I cannot believe that we are here and we're doing
it in a week. I'm gonna officially be on Broadway
(39:18):
in New York City. I don't care if it's for
a night, I don't care if it's a one off.
I will show my talents. I will. I will do
everything I can to make sure that I do a
little crystal due diligence. But we out here doing the thing,
and I'm so blessed that my family's going to be there.
I wish that our babies could be there. I wish
the little duck could be there. My nephew he's going
to be in his last week of school, and then
(39:40):
our son, we don't have him that week. So it's
it's just it didn't work out, and let's cross our
fingers out. Maybe I could do it again before I
leave New York City, so next time they can pull up.
But dang, my family's pulling up and it's just such
a blessing and I am just Oh, I cannot wait
to tell you about how it goes. So we have
(40:01):
a week for that. So keep me in your thoughts
and prayers, give me good energy that I break a
leg and everything goes perfectly fine. So that is what's
been going on in my life. You know, in last
week's episode, I was just so overwhelmed with all the
amazing blessings that are happening, and it just seems like
more and more in happening, and summer is officially here.
(40:22):
The weather today coming in, I was definitely moist in
all the moisty places because it's hot again. It's seventy
degrees and I've been wanting this for so long. I'm
very thankful. I have an amazing weekend coming up and
chilling the weekend after that, and then it's going to
be a good summer. I can already feel it in
my bones that it's I'm going to try to make
(40:43):
this a really really good summer and just a lot
more prep wedding prep, wedding wedding wedding wedding wedding prep.
So that's what we're doing. That's a we're We're at
hope that you enjoyed this week's episode. We're going to
wrap up with our daily motivator. This one is called
always something. Ah, It's always something. No matter how much
(41:04):
you work to get caught up, an unexpected issue catches
up to you. But that's okay because you can handle
it and you will rather than feeling resentful about all
you have to deal with, realize how empowering it is.
With every effort, you become stronger and more experienced. Your patience, understanding,
and discipline continue to get more deeply ingrained. Life hits
(41:25):
you with unexpected difficulties, and each time you get the
opportunity to respond with the best you can. Your mind,
or muscles and your spirit can all weaken if they're
not regularly challenged. So it's good to be appreciative of
those challenges. Yes, it's always something. Yet in dealing with
life's steady stream of issues, you're living at your best.
(41:49):
Oh that was good. It's true. There are always gonna
be something. There's always gonna be something, and then there's
always gonna be something better. How about that always going
to be improvement? I feel like I've definitely been working
on that. I tell you all the time. I've been
working on when there's a wrench, when there's a curveball,
just assessing, taking it in, assessing how you're feeling a
(42:15):
just see what you can do first to protect your feelings,
to protect your feelings, and then to protect your future
so it doesn't happen again. Yeah, I feel like even
the last weekend when I was in Boston with our
family friends. There were some unexpected things that were happening
(42:36):
on the trip, some unexpected feelings that I had inside,
and I took some days to sit on it. I
took some time to talk to my circle about it.
I took some time to talk to Zaddy about how
it was feeling. And it was not easy to come
out with these feelings. But when I did, my girls
were like, oh, Crystal, you are totally valid and these feelings. Yes,
(42:58):
that was very weird. Happy that you vocalized it and
definitely let them know what you're feeling there and how
to adjust in the future. And so I feel like
now with certain relationships, I'm gonna have to adjust a
little bit because there's just some things that I was
not very settled with. But that's okay. You can you
(43:21):
can decide how you want to balance things. You can
adjust how your boundaries are going to be with people
going forward and in certain situations, and that is totally fine.
It's not the end of the world. Sit feel, assess,
adjust because it's always going to be something and it's
always going to be something better. So I hope that
helped you. Thank you for hanging out, we're not going
(43:43):
to move on into our closing prayer. If a prayer
is not in your cards today, that's totally fine. Thank
you so so much for hanging out. I'm going to
see you in next week's episode. If you are not
familiar with praying and maybe you have a calling right
now to just stick around, why not just stick around
and see how it goes. And if you're excited for
these closing prayers, I'm so happy that we're here together
(44:04):
to enjoy it. This one says, seek my face, Seek
my face at the beginning of your day. This practice
enables you to put me on and wear me throughout
the day. Most people put on clothes soon after rising
from bed. Similarly, the sooner you put me on by
communicating with me, the better prepared you are for whatever
(44:24):
comes your way. To wear me is essentially to have
my mind, to think my thoughts. Ask the Holy Spirit
to control your thinking. Be transformed by this, renewed by
this renewal within you. Thus you are well equipped to
face whatever people want situations I bring your way. Clothing
your mind in me is your best preparation for each day.
(44:47):
This discipline brings joy and peace to you. And those
around you. So I'm twenty seven to eight Romans thirteen
fourteen Colossians three twelve. I need to work on this.
I need to work on getting back to my morning
daily calendar, getting back to my morning app. I love
(45:08):
the prayer app. It's called Our Daily Bread. And I
don't know, I feel like sometimes because i'd be sinning still,
I feel guilty to like wake up that way. But
that's so wrong, Like we don't We're actually not supposed
to feel guilty, Like that's not the point. We're supposed
to feel like we can always be forgiven because we can.
So I'm I'm gonna try working on that again and
(45:31):
start and you know, also, like I don't know, I
just I'm so used to scrolling and I'm so used
to podcasts that I just ematically when I wake up,
I go into podcast mode and I listen to podcasts.
And it's just like, girl, start your day with a
good breath of fresh air with a prayer. And it's true,
like that will help you set up the rest of
(45:51):
the day if you if you learn learn some type
of message from the readings, so then and yes, that
helps you because when you put me on, when you
wear me, when you have the cloak, when you have
Jesus's robe on you, that's kind of like a reminder
to treat other people like that, and that God is
(46:11):
within us, and the goodness of God and the Holy
Spirit should be controlling what we're doing throughout the day.
So this is a beautiful reminder that if you and
including myself, wake up feeling a little uneasy, or just
haven't wake up and up feeling excited for life, or
if you just kind of need a little more challenge
to get closer to God, you and I can work
(46:34):
on making sure that the first thing we do at
the beginning of the day, if you haven't downloaded our
Daily Bread app you listen to that passage, you listen
to one of your readings, you flip over your prayer calendar,
and me, I need to get back into this prayer
calendar too, because I feel like I really only pick
this up now when I hang out with you, but
I should be reading this before my show every day
(46:57):
so that I can use my platform with the will
of God in mind, which is just it's bigger than me.
And I don't go on air preaching. I don't go
on air pushing anyone for any faith. That's a mind
you don't have to do. That's not our job, that's
not my job. But I can lead with the tongue
(47:20):
of love. And I feel like if I continue and
I work on making sure I put on God and
I wear God in the beginning of the day, it's
going to help me do that more So, I hope
that helped you. Have you been Thank you for hanging
out another episode of a Crystal's Nightcap. Whatever your prayers are,
whatever you need to help with, I'm throwing you love,
(47:41):
I'm throwing you energy. If there's something specific that you

Hello to your beautiful palm Puzzler. I'm at Crystal Olsaz
back with another episode of a Crystal's Nightcap tonight. Please
leave Justin Bieber alone. The new live action Lelo and Stitch.
Selena Gomez sent me her Oreos collab. We hit the
Dersey Shore to party with Alex Earl, take shots with
a Little John, selfie's with a Jay Wow, I'm making
(00:20):
my New York City Broadway debut. A Stranger, Trauma dumped
on me and more. Sit back, relax, It's Crystal's Nightcap.
Thanks again for rolling through. We're gonna get to the
(00:41):
headlines of the week, what everybody was talking about. This
is where we share the cheese man. Yo. Have you
seen the out Oh my god, we can't believe it.
We're sharing the cheese man. We're sharing the cheese Mathe
(01:16):
leave Justin Bieber alone. In case you missed it. Over
the long weekend at Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, Kendrick
Lamar and Sizza they are on their tour, so they
hit the stage and as a special appearance, Justin Bieber
pulled up. Now there's a lot of fans that were
questioning Justin Bieber, how he looked on stage, his eyes,
(01:39):
his posture. Yes, there was a moment where Sissa grabbed
Justin Bieber's face like a little child that says that
on the but Justin Bieber ended up grabbing Scissa's hand
and then kissing the top palm of it as she's
kind of pulling it away. Now, well, listen, Hayley Bieber
(02:01):
was there, she was recording the whole thing. She was there.
I'm gonna defend Justin Bieber all costs, all right. I
know that there were some questionable videos of Justin Bieber's
posture at Coachella, and again people are questioning his eyeballs
and if his eyes were a little too droopy or not. Okay,
(02:23):
back to sofar on stage with Sizza, him leaning a
little bit and some foldage. People are accusing Justin of
being under some substances. I see all the comments. I
know everybody saying I know what's going on, and I
don't know, girl, I do not know. And that is
(02:43):
why I will defend Justin Bieber to everything. Because I
like Justin Bieber. I've not always agreed with him, but
I also don't think that he's ever been a terrible,
terrible person. Sure he was in a toxic relationship, possibly
with and Gos back in the day. We don't know
too too much about that. All we know is that
she's mentioned that she went through a terrible heartbreak, and
(03:06):
all of us have, most of us have. I feel
like a lot of us have been in young toxic
relationships before, done and said things we don't agree with.
I definitely have, and I've spoken on that before. I've
been in toxic relationships. I've been a toxic partner. I've
been in toxic situationships, I've done not the nicest things
(03:27):
to people, and I'm thankful that I can reflect and
take accountability and grow from that. So I feel like
there's so much slander when it comes to Justin Bieber
and Haley thought Me and Poperci. I feel like she's
just trying to live her best life. She's very poised.
I know that not everybody agrees with her or things
that she has said, but like she has really she's
(03:48):
never done anything so malicious. Again, when we were younger
and catfights over boys, maybe we haven't said the nicest
things are done the best things. But as of now,
I mean, she's around my age and I feel like
she's grown a lot. She is someone that I think
is a great role model. I think Selena Gomes I'm
in is a great role model. So seeing that anytime
they post anything, their fandoms are attacking each other, it
(04:09):
is so childish. I hate to see. I wish that
we didn't pit women against each other like that, and
it sucks to watch. And in justin Bieber situation, I
don't know what's going on with him. All I know
is that when Chadwick Boseman was getting dragged for losing
a whole bunch of weight and looking sickly, it was
because he had cancer and everyone was dragging him, making
(04:31):
fun of him and saying, oh my gosh, the cow
skinny he is. Look at him, he looks so sick. Haha.
He died of cancer. Okay. All I know is that
when everybody was dragging Liam Payne, I don't even I
wasn't publicly and I've never publicly dragged Liam Payne. I
did agree that some of the things that he did
was cringey, But when people were bullying him relentlessly online,
(04:53):
the guy that passed away from one direction, they were
so mean and cruel to Liam Payne line for years,
over and over and over again, and saying that he
wasn't as talented as his coparts, that he was cringey,
that he was a pick me, all these things, and
then look, he passed away. He was struggling with deep
(05:15):
addiction issues. He passed away, and the whole world is
having vigils and memorials for Liam Payne and saying, oh
my gosh, like, we love you, Liam, we love one direction.
We're so sorry Liam, Like, okay, but where was that
energy when he was alive? You guys drag him through
the mud when he's alive. I am praying that the
same fate does not happen to Justin Bieber. I'm praying
(05:38):
that he lives a long, healthy life. But y'all forget
that Justin Bieber has lime disease. Y'all forget that I
personally know my mentor some of your best friends JV
passed away from lime disease. Lime disease affects people in
different ways. And you don't know what medication Justin Bieber's on.
(05:59):
You don't know what passed Justin Bieber's I'm not yelling
at you, I'm sorry. I'm just very passionate about this, Like,
it really hurts me to see people dragging this man
that like is doing nothing wrong. You might not agree
with everything he does, you might not agree with what
he posts. And then oh, my gosh, the Vogue girl,
(06:19):
the Vogue, the Vogue situation. Where did I talk about this,
this this past episode where I think I did? Or
he posted the Vogue cover of Hailey Bieber and then
everyone was dragging for him because he told he said,
oh yeah, when when we were in a big fight,
I was really mad and I was very mean to Haley.
I told her that she would never be on the
(06:40):
cover of Vogue, and look at her. She in the
cover of Vogue now, and everyone bullied him to smithereens.
I knew what he was trying to say. I knew
what he meant. He was meaning. Dang. I was really
mean and awful at one point, and I said this,
but she's look at her, look at my wifey, I
love you, and she's on cover of Vogue. Like that's
what he meant. The execution maybe wasn't one hundred percent.
Maybe he should have had some and vet that, but
(07:01):
he's just a human and now seeing that he's a
blessing La, he's blessing the fans. He's coming on to
do a duet with Sizza, and we don't know if
he's on some medication. We don't know exactly what he's done,
and a lot of you are very certain about what
he's on. Nobody knows. So the dragging of Justin Bieber,
(07:23):
I'm not gonna stand for it. I'm gonna defend it.
I did. It hurts to see him because he one
of the biggest, most popular artists of our time, been
is so talented, went through so much, and now is
dealing with an uncurable disease, lime disease, and still tries
(07:45):
to give us art whenever he can. I just wish
people gave him more grace. I wish that he wasn't
slandered so much. It's not easy being Justin Bieber. It's
not easy being the most famous person in the world
and getting dragged for any single thing you do is
definitely not easy for Haley Bieber. It's definitely not easy
for Selena Gomez and Benny Blancos seeing that people are
still after all these years. Girl, it's been seven years.
(08:09):
Haley and Justin have been together for seven years. Like,
when are we gonna get over it? Prayers for Justin,
prayers for Haley, prayers for Selena Gomez, and I just
hope that people can be nicer and give more grace
to him because to me, he is still my prince
of pop. Oh and back to Selena Gomez. Her team
sent me her oreos. The Selena Gomez oreos. They are
(08:35):
we see a layer of chocolate and cinnamon cream, a
layer of swing condensed milk cream, sandwich with chocolate cinnamon
flavored wafers, and a lot of the little cookies have
different things on them like little flaming hearts and little
music note some headphones her signature. Thank you so much
for the team for sending that to me. I tried
(08:55):
them out. I review them and they're good. Girl. They
are giving orgshat tha. I love them so brava. I
put him in my could be here at work and
some of my coworkers were like, hey, girls, so can
I try something. I came back, girl, there have gone.
I'll have them all gone. But honestly, it's better because
if they eat them better because I'm not because I
need to. I to squeeze up by my wedding, like
(09:17):
I need to make sure that I'm not eating anything
that I should not be eating. I'm trying to cut
out the sweets. So we're chilling with that. What else
is happening in the Cheeseman world, Oh my gosh, the
New Life Action Leelo and Stitch. Everybody's talking about it.
It just I haven't heard of it's breaking records. I
know that it already surpassed what they spent on it,
(09:39):
so that's always good news. The Little Girl, the lead actress,
the Little li lo Oh my goodness. She is a star.
She has a bundle of joy, of light, of love.
She is so talented. I love Leelo and Stitch. I
love the soundtrack. You know me. I'm an Elvis girl,
so I love Elvis. I really want to watch it.
The Little Duck and my brother Junior, they went to
(09:59):
go watch it. I'm so jealous. I'm so annoyed. The
fomo is real and the Little Duck said he loved
the movie, that it was one of his favorite movies
and it was so good. I'm like dang Zaddi and
our son. They're waiting for me to go back home
so we can watch together. Even though I really really,
really really want to see it, so yes, I'm excited.
There are some comments regarding the alternative ending. I'm not
(10:22):
going to spoil anything because I know a lot of
us still haven't seen it, but there is a quite dramatic,
quite controversial ending of this new live action Leelo and Stitch.
Some people are not digging it. Some people are like,
this is the opposite of o'hana means family in the
what it went on? I was about to spill what happens.
(10:44):
I don't know if you've seen the comments, but people
are leaving scathing, terrible reviews on the changes. I don't know.
Did you see it already? What do you think about it?
Let me know and everything. I'm at La Crystal Rosas.
Is it worth me going to see? I do want
to say it in theaters? Son, wait to go watch it? Now?
How about we check in? What's going on with my life?
Inside of my crevices? Was gone in my world? 're
(11:07):
heading into Crystal's cave? Hello? Who's in here? It's so dark? Ew?
What's dripping? I get step on something? Something? You're now
inside Crystal's cave? Cave? What a life I get to live?
I'll tell you this week. I mean, it wasn't even
a full week that I caught up with you. But
(11:29):
this past weekend has been so amazing. After work a Thursday,
at me and my coworker Jewels, we got ready because
we were doing quite a few things. I mean, first
of all, we were gonna hit up Cowboy Carter. Yes,
Queen Bee Beehive is among us. She was performing at
MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. And I'll tell you one
(11:51):
thing about my Life Stadium. I hate with a passion
getting to MetLife Stadium, but we pulled through. We dropped
all of our luggage off on my coworker, Josh Martinez's
car because after the show he was gonna pick us
up and drive us to Jersey, the Jersey Shore from
Moral Day weekend. So we get all glamor, We get
(12:13):
all ready for Beyonce. And even though I fully wasn't
passionate about this album, I oh, don't hate me, don't
hate me, behive, but Renaissance was great and I listened
to it through and I listened through it once and
I liked it. Seeing Renaissance live, seeing Beyonce live period
is incredible kind of performer that she is no one
(12:35):
on the planet is like her. You know me, I'm
a swifty Beyonce just she just has this twang. She
has this swag that I it's it's jaw dropping. So
being able to see her at Renaissance with my man
Zaddy two years ago was everything. And that was actually
(12:57):
the first night that he told me I loved he
loved me so were because remember he told me I
love you for the first time when we were drunk
at my brother Junior's Dirty thirty. On the uber ride home,
we were again jack in the box in our Uber
and he told me that he loved me drunk and
then I was like, wait, would you just say and
then he just like nothing, I'm like okay, and then
(13:19):
we got it. We kind of got into a little
riff during before during Beyonce, and then after the fact
we had a debrief and talked about it and then
he told me he loved me. So Beyonce is very
special to me and Zaddie. It was when he first
told me he loved me sober and I told him
I love you too for the first time. I told
him I love you for the first time after he
told me he loved me. So that was beautiful. And
(13:39):
so seeing Cowboy Carter. I listened to the album. It
wasn't my absolute favorite, but there's some songs that are
amazing on it, and just go into a Beyonce event
period is everything. So it was so much fun. It
was again jaw dropping seeing her. I got to see
Blue Ivy on stage and Little Roomy, her other daughter
as well, so it was it was a who And
(14:00):
Josh Martinez he got off work at ten, so he's like, y'all,
I'm gonna pick up at ten thirty. I was like, perfect,
because I don't like leaving at the end of concerts.
I like, if I'm going to leave at the end
of a concert, I'm going to stay there for at
least twenty minutes so that I'm not in the herd
leaving or I like to leave early. So it was perfect.
And we were going to meet Josh Martinez out in
the parking lot. We had a perfect plan. But then
(14:22):
he tries to get into the right share area and
they're not letting him. They're not letting him in, so
me and Jule spend probably twenty five minutes walking to
him in the freezing cold, in the rainy mist. But
it's okay, you know, and we were very thankful that
Josh even did that for us, because he could have
just went all the way to the Jersey Shore without us.
But he was very cool. He was a real one
(14:43):
for picking us up. So then we hit the Jersey Shore.
That night, I automatically go to sleep, even though even
though we pulled up to the hotel and our entire
sales team they are goers. They are ragers. They are
just raging. They're playing pool, they're drinking, they're barely standing up,
and I commend them. That was me at one point.
(15:04):
But I gotta get up early to do a hair,
makeup and stuff for the event the next day. So
I was just like, I would love to party with
you guys, but I just gotta go hit the sack.
So we it was already late by the time we
got there. It was already twelve thirty. By the time
I got to sleep, it was one am. Wake up,
do hair and makeup. Me and Jewels are vibe in
to Little John because we are doing our Z one
(15:25):
hundred Jump Start to Summer. It's a show that we
have at the Jersey Shore the Friday of Memorial Day
weekend where people are there from six am, listening to
Elvis Durana the Z one hundred Morning Show, hanging out
with Elvis, and then the music starts at ten and
so people are partying from ten am all night, all
week and long. We are starting summer. That is what
we do at Z one hundred. So it was really
(15:47):
cool because my role there was to host on stage
when the artists are coming on to do interviews backstage
and in our cabana that we had. It was so fun,
and there's sand everywhere, and then there's like indoor venue,
there's seafood, there's unlimited drink tickets. Girl, we are again,
it lit again, it popping. I'm very cautious with me
(16:11):
drinking on the job because I'm a lightweight these days.
I don't drink a lot anymore. Even though I wanted
to get slashed at this event, trust me, I really
wanted to, but the way that the day was going,
I was busier. I was interview, interview on stage, social content,
social content, so it was so it was a lot,
so I wanted to make sure that I didn't look
(16:32):
like a fool. So I actually I really didn't drink much.
I had a shot that someone from a sales team
brought his bros. So they all offered me a shot
that was soon when I got there, and then I
didn't really drink after that much. I got a tequila
soda because I'm trying to be the corpse bride for
my wedding coming up. I want to be a skinny legend.
(16:53):
I want to be getting ozembic allegations. So I've been
working really hard to not go too crazy with carbs.
I've been managing my carbs. I've been managing my sweets.
I really don't eat any type of sugars or sugary things. Really.
I've just been very cautious and I already lost seven pounds,
so I'm proud of my trajectory. I have time, I
(17:14):
have some time. We're having a fall wedding, so the
time is are on our side. However, I just want
to be cool me. Typically I would get either maybe
a lemon drop cup or I would get a cranberry
vodka or something like that, because I'm very, very basic,
and you know, when you're ordering at a busy bar,
you just want to get your drink and get out.
(17:36):
But I'm like, you know, what, what are the skinny
minies drink. Oh yeah, they drink Tekuilo soda. So I
did that and it was fine drinking that. And then
I had some interviews. I got to interview Jaywow one
on one because remember the beginning of the week, I
got to interview the whole crew of the Jersey Show,
and so Jay Wow pulled up, so I got to
sit down and interview her with our legend from Elvis
drand Scary Jones. And then I had my girl who's
(17:57):
a DJ. Her name is Piro Tiger. I had her
her hop into the interview because she's a huge j
Wow fan, so that was really fun. And Pyro she
also was mixing there. I mean I met her last
year at Pride and then we became cool and then
she's coming to the studio to say hi, and this
year she was on the lineup for our show, so
it was so cool to see her. And then I
(18:18):
got to hang out with Zara Larson a little bit
and Dash I interviewed her, and then it was my
time to interview Little John Now again, thank you so much,
because Alisa producer, she put in an overtime. On the overtime,
I was overly prepared for all of these things. I
wasn't nervous for Little John. I just had never worked
with him before, so I didn't know what his vibe
was going to be on Sometimes these really big artists
(18:40):
could actually I've had really good interactions with all of them.
I just didn't know what his vibe was, so I
literally just did not know what was going to go on.
But as soon as he got through, I kind of
debriefed him on what I was going to talk to
him about, and he was hecka cool about everything. And
my dream was to be would have been to take
(19:01):
a shot with Little John, because obviously he has his
song shots, but I don't know if he was drinking
or not. So I asked. I was like, Okay, we're
gonna talk about this. We're gonna talk about this, We're
gonna talk about this. I was like, my dream would
be to take a shot with you. I have water
shots there. I don't know if you're down for that
and if that's your vibe, And he said, actually, I've
been on a healthcake for the past few years, so
is it okay if we skip that. I'm like, absolutely,
(19:22):
Like I would never. First of all, I don't want
to put on the spot because everyone has a different journey.
Well what if he was sober? Right? And I don't
want to like, I didn't want to be rude. So
when it comes to stuff with alcohol, I'm very sensitive
and aware that everyone is on a different journey when
it comes to alcohol. I'm on my own journey. Let's
not talk about the bad Bunny Blackout of twenty twenty two.
(19:43):
That was scary. So I've come a long way from then,
and I'm very respectful and aware of people in their
drinking journey. So I'm happy that I vetted him with that.
And he was like, well, let's just skip that if
that's cool, And I'm like fine, So we had our interview.
It was he gave me very present. He was very present.
He's very wise. Girl. He's done so much in their
(20:05):
entertainment world. He's done TV shows, movies, He's worked in
so many genres. Little John has worked in Did I
Get the One? Pop? Country? Edm He's worked in so
many different genres. And I brought that up too, and
I brought up people that he would want to work with.
He said he'd want to work with Subrita Carpenter and
(20:26):
Chapel Rown that was a cute clip that we pulled out.
He says that he wants to be a talk show host,
that that is his what he's manifesting this year. He
gave a lot, He gave everything that needed to be
given and talking about him at the Jersey Shore and
all these things. It was so so much fun having
that conversation with Little John. And I mean everybody came out.
(20:46):
Our entire sales team, my boss is boss, everybody was
there and I feel like I did my thing. So
after that, I had a little debrief with my boss
who were just chatting about the event and how it
was on his end, and it was really cool to
chatting with my boss Mark. But I heard that Little
Job was on stage. I'm like, Mark, I gotta go.
I gotta go party. So Little John was already on
stage by the time I ran out there. I'm like,
excuse me. I sprint to the bar. Our homie Scary
(21:10):
gives me some drink tickets. I'll give the girl a tip,
and I had maybe like two two three more drinks
like me two shots and a drink. So that was
actually really good for me because I think I told
you I want to get gurnied out. My goal was
to get gurnied out of Jenkinson's and I actually I
was not even that drunk at all, which growth, right,
(21:35):
definite growth, And I'm proud of myself. I'm very proud
of myself. Also because a lot of my coworkers there.
I didn't want to get too too sloppy because that's
kind of gross. But after the event, I took producer
Alissa Herman's who pulled up, and my girl Jewels. I
took them to lunch because they were helping me and
they were just the best. And I was hungry and
(21:55):
Alyssa was down to drive us to the train, so
I was like, well then why don't I just take
us to lunch. So we had a little rooftop lunch
moment there at Jenkinson's Boardwalk and it was so cute.
And then afterwards we got some ice cream and I
saw some promo kids there and I was like, whatever,
y'all want to get whatever the promo to you guys,
get it, I'll put it on my card. You're all good.
So we all had a little cute moment with ice cream,
and then Alisa drove me and my girl Jewels. We
(22:17):
were debating if we wanted to stay an extra night
or not in Jersey at the Jersey Shore. But girl,
I love my bed. I love my bed, and I
know that if I would have gone out, I would
have just gone haga drunk, and I just I don't
really want to do that that much anymore these days,
especially without my man's I just at that bah, I
(22:41):
think I'm just there's a time and a place, and
I didn't realize how I was going to get back
home the next day. I didn't one hundred percent know
how we were going to sleep there. We had all
our stuffs. I was just like, girl, let's just go home.
Let's go home. So me and Jewel. So yes, Alyssa
drives me and Jewels to the train. We pull up
to the train and our girl Pyro is there, my
DJ friend, I said, with hers crew. So we all
(23:04):
take the train back to the city together. And one
of my coworkers was there too, shout out to you,
you're the homie, and he was so sweet. I never
had hung out with this coworker before, and he was
really really just a chill, nice, sweet guy. He really
reminded me of my brother Junior, just a jolly, happy
to be there, unproblematic, looking out for us girls, not
being creepy like. It's a breath of fresh air, honestly,
(23:27):
a breath of fresh air. And he's I really respect
him a lot. He's a really good guy. And he's
worked on a few accounts with me. I haven't worked
too closely with him. This was the first time that
we really had a moment to chat and vibe and
he's a real one. I really appreciated that. So yes,
it took about the almost girl for three hours to
get home. I got home, I like it was like
(23:48):
nine thirty or something like that, and then I just
bed rotted. And then I woke up the next day, Saturday,
I'm thinking I'm not gonna go out, I'm gonna do something. Nope,
I just need to day by myself in my apartment that
I pay crazy amounts of money for to just do nothing,
to just order food and bedrot, bedrock, death scroll, just
(24:13):
troll mode, gremlin extraordinary. And that's what I did all
day and all night. And as I'm scrolling on TikTok,
I go through alex Earl's feed and guess where she's at.
Guess where she was the night that I left the
(24:34):
dirty Jersey Shore. She went to the bar, that slash
club that Scary invited me to go, and I said, no,
I'm going back to New York City. So I could
have partied with Alex Earl, but I still wouldn't have. Honestly,
I feel like, hmmm, for the story of it, maybe
I've been there before though I've been to DJ's at
(24:58):
the Jersey Shore before I went the first I went
to the Jersey Shore for r Z one R Drums
start to Summer. Right after our event at Jenkinson's Boardwalk,
I rallied with Scary from Elvis Duran the ZE one
hundred Morning show and our sales crew and we went
to DJ's and it was ratchet. Everyone was so twisted
(25:22):
and it was fun. I mean it was fun at
that time. Thinking of going back again, I really just
I don't want. I don't. I really don't. I don't
not want to, Like I don't want to. They're all
twenty years old, like everyone there is twenty one to
twenty three. I'm thirty one. It's just it's not an
(25:43):
area for me to be at, like I already know.
It's the walls are sweating, the walls are sweating, and
I had such a fun frat year's life, Like, thank
you to my Brimacatto that let me live her frat
life with her. Let thank you to my girl page
at cal Berkeley that let me live that frat girl
(26:04):
sorority life with her because she was in a sorority
and I wasn't, but she took me to every single
midnight everything that they had. I was on the buses,
I was everywhere these little sorority girls in cal Berkeley
were because of my girl Page. So I had a
good early twenties. And now I'm thirty one. I don't
need to be in that anymore. Like, I just don't.
I'm trying to think maybe for the Instagram story I
(26:28):
would have because I had absolutely nothing to do Saturday,
So maybe if I heard, you know, Alex Earl's gonna
pull up later to DJs, I might just for the
story of it, just for the content of it. Do
I regret my decision? No, Like, I am totally fine
that I didn't stay that night and I did absolutely
nothing Saturday, So I'm okay in that sense. I'm just
not really that much of a rager. I have to
really be particular these days about my rage because it
(26:51):
will knock me out for the next three days if
I decide to rage like that. So yes, Alex Earl,
the Queen of TikTok, the Queen of in influencing. She
was there partying at DJ's at the Jersey Shore that night,
and I was just like, dang it, I could have
been there, well, I could have got a an ig pick.
But it's okay. You know, we win some, we lose some.
(27:11):
I got my Jay Wow moment. That's more my speed,
right Jenkinson's Jaywow, Lil John. That's where God wanted me
that day. And then that moment at the Jersey Shore.
I'm okay missing a little Alex or a moment my
tie with her will come. So then Saturday I do nothing.
Sunday I wake up, I go to church, and because
I did absolutely nothing Saturday, I'm like, I gotta be outside.
(27:33):
I got to be in these streets. So I am
also in my bachelorette bridal era right now, and I'm
going to be in this era for the next three years,
and I'm so excited about it. So I want to
go thript shopping and look for some cute bachelorette slash
bridal stuff. Thank goodness. I already have my wedding dress,
but I don't have a veil, I don't have a glove.
(27:55):
I don't have a bachelorette dress. We're still up in
the air about my bachelorette kind of still in the
fetal planning stages. I don't have anything really other than
my wedding dress. So I want to go to some
thrift stores to see if I can find anything cute,
fun and fresh. So I go to the Lower east Side.
I'm walking around, I get a little iced coffee after MYSA,
(28:16):
and I find the area that there's a few thrift stores,
but it's not really like what I'm looking for. I'm
looking for very out there pieces, very different pieces. I
feel like I'm going into a thrift store and I'm
saying T shirts and jeans. I'm going into another thrift
store and I'm seeing T shirts and jeans. I'm going
into another store and it's different stuff, but nothing really
(28:40):
why or que or sparkly. And then I'm asking the worker.
They're thinking, Hey, I have a bachelorette coming up. Any
thrift or secondhand store, it doesn't have to be thrift,
but maybe elevated secondhand store that would have these cute
things for a bachelorette and she said, yeah, let me
give you this this. These are places around here. Let
me get I cut my coworker heem, I know some places.
(29:00):
He gives me some names, and there's a girl standing
there and she goes, oh, you're just gonna be thrift
shopping today. I said, yeah, I'm just gonna be bouncing
around here in the Lower east Side. She said, oh,
I could go with you, and I was like, okay,
I'm just just getting a cute, little looking white girl
around my age. I'm like, okay, sure. I mean I
was planning just to be either by myself on the
(29:20):
phone with my mom or my man, or just listening
to a podcast. So I was like, okay, the more
the merrier. So this I don't know where random girl
is now coming with me to these drift stores, and
she's cool. I quickly learned that she is. Boy. I
see that mass. She's in her depressed era, and we've
(29:40):
all been there one way or another. She is in
her depressed era. She's telling me that she's hella skinny
now and depressed because of something really bad that had
happened to her. I'm not going to put all her
infro out, but pretty much a nightmare from anyone happened
to her. And it was so sad hearing about that,
and she starts trauma dumping on me, and I just
(30:01):
feel so bad about everything that she's saying. But at
the same time, I'm thankful that I'm not going through
these things. And it just seems like she needed a
friend and someone to just open up to and just
be like nice to her and to hang out with
her because she was in town visiting her sister. So
(30:22):
you know, we're just shopping, we're going from place to place,
we're yapping a little bit. She's telling me, oh, that
looks cute, or what about this? What about that? We're
trying on different things and it ends up being a
really nice early afternoon and I'm happy that I was
there for her, even though she's a complete stranger, you know,
for her to be brave enough to ask someone she
(30:42):
doesn't know, hey, can I just hang out with you
and thrift with you? Like that was brave of her
to do, and I'm I'm thankful that I was there
to help her out during this really tough time. We
ended up connecting after and she said she lives in
Terrytown and that if I ever wanted to just get
out of the city, that she lives with her family
and they have a pool, I can go hey out
their pool whenever I want. And it was just so sweet.
I don't think I'm ever gonna do that, but sometimes
(31:05):
you do need to get out of the city, so
I don't know. Maybe if I really need to, I'm
sure she would have her doors open for me. So
it was an awesome evening early afternoon with her, and
then I was gonna link up with my girl Michelle
because it was her birthday weekend. So I linked up
with Michelle at one of her friends barbecues a same
in the Lower East Side, and he was this man
(31:27):
who was barbecuing for everyone. We all brought drinks and
we were just like yap and I had met some
of her friends before, so I knew one guy and
him and I re raapping about stuff and it was
really nice and it was cool. It was a very
nice New York City esque weekend and it was a
brickstone so it was like in a courtyard and a
big apartment, so that was cool and I got to
(31:50):
meet some cool people and just have some nice chats
and IBE had like one two drinks. I got home
maybe like nine thirty ish. It was such a beautiful
evening too, so nice the weather because as I mentioned,
it's been so rough out here, winter has been wintering,
and now it's finally feeling like spring slash summer, and
it really does make me want to be outside. I mean,
(32:10):
I have been cooped up. I've been sad girl sometimes
for a little bit in my apartment. I'm just like,
you know what, I want to be back outside. I
just want to meet people. I just want to talk.
I just want to enjoy New York City. So I
ended up having an amazing Sunday, and then yesterday I
pulled up here to work. And today was also incredible
because I was invited to go on a podcast through
(32:34):
Berkeley Berkeley College here in New York City, not Berkeley
Cal Berkeley in the Bay, but over here there's another
Berkeley College. So iHeart has a partnership with Berkeley College.
One of our DJ's pro styles hosts a podcast with
one of the Berkeley College prs. Her name is Penny
and she's amazing, and they invited me on their podcast
to talk about my life, journey and my story in radio.
(32:55):
You've heard it a million times, so it was nice
being able to share my story and they we're so
sweet in the interview, and I really admire both of
them and I really enjoy working with both of them,
so it was nice to be on the other side
of an interview and give my story to them. And
then the clothing department from Broadway Aladdin Broadway Aladdin pulled
(33:18):
up because I'm making my Broadway debut. Isn't that kind
of crazy? I'm going to be on Broadway. I'm it's
called us US, a walk on role where sometimes Broadway
shows have a little role here and there where people
can just come in for one off shows. And because
(33:38):
iHeartRadio and Z one hundred and I have been working
with Aladdin on Broadway as an endorsement, they invited me
to be part of their show. So I have a
few lines. This is happening next Thursday, which I'm so
excited for. Uh huh May June June fifth. I'm sorry,
and my family is flying out for it. I am so, so,
(34:00):
so so excited. I haven't said anything because I get
nervous saying things because I don't know. I just I'm
very nervous to say things out loud sometimes that are
awesome and happening because it just makes me feel like
something might sabotage or something might go wrong. But at
the end of the day, it's booked. Today I did
my fitting for my outfit. I'm going to be a
(34:22):
game show host for one of their scenes. And the
good thing about that role is that as a game
show host, I have flashcards, so I don't even have
to fully memorize my lines. I am going to, but
it's just a few lines. I'm just in for a
few minutes. But I'm going to be on Broadway in
New York City, Like what the flip is going on?
So exciting And I tried on my fit today and
(34:44):
it's such a cute outfit as a game show host.
It's pink and gold and glittery, and my cheecheeses are
going to be out and it is so so so cute.
I'm going to post the fitting today on my ig
at Black crystaltal Sas if you want to see what
it looks like that is happening. We are making our
Broadway debut. Isn't that crazy? Now, This isn't fully new
(35:06):
to me. When I was little, I was actually in
plays in musicals. I did my debut musical in the
fifth grade. It was called Campcoyania. It was at my school,
and I was the leading role. The little girl's name
was Crystal. So then they just had me auditioned for
it and I got the role as Crystal. And I'll
(35:26):
never forget that. There was someone in the grade above
me and she looked at me and she was like,
the only reason you got the role is because your
name is Crystal. I was just like, okay, girlfriend, whatever.
But yeah, I was living my Disney Channel in high
school musical with the musical play Fantasy, And yeah, I
was in the fifth grade. I'm out here remembering lines
(35:46):
and doing the thing. And I know my dad has
it all on tape on the like one million percent
has it on a VHS tape. We haven't seen it
in so long. But yeah, I would start a musical
in the fifth grade, and then in the seventh In
the eighth grade or I think it was the seventh
or eighth grade, I auditioned for another musical, The Three
(36:07):
Cross Church and castor Valley. They did these crazy, awesome
kids musicals and it was Cinderella, and I was already
a little older. I was on the older end. I
think it was maybe like the second to laster last
year that before I was going to age out, but
I auditioned and I got the evil step mother, so yes,
uh huh, kind of full circle because now I'm a
real step mother. I'm not evil. I like to say
(36:29):
I'm not evil, but yeah, I played the evil step
mother and I was iconic. I literally did that, so
that was amazing. And then in high school, I my
freshman year, I tried out for the play with my
best best best friend Isabella, and we both got chorus
because obviously we're freshmen, so we're gonna do chorus. And
I just remember seeing the sophomores and the juniors auditioning
(36:49):
because it was open auditions, so we all get to
see I just remember thinking, dang, they're so brave, they're
so bold, like they're really getting into these characters. That's
amazing and mean. Isabella was the chorus, so we were
just in the background. But I remember the director said, oh,
we need someone to do this line. Who wants to
do the line? And I raised my hand, and so
I got one line, Yes, I did. I got one
(37:11):
line in my high school play. And my line was,
don't go playing baseball around Main Street. It was our town.
And it was the most boring play of my entire life,
Like it was so boring. It was set in like
the eighteen hundreds and like a farm, and I just
remember it being so boring. And I just remember the
guys and the girls and the play being very caddy
(37:33):
and drama, and I remember there's always drama with the
seniors and the juniors. And I had a really good
time me in Isabella, Like we had a good time
even though we're completely the background and we're barely in
it and I only had one line. We had a
good time. But I feel like I had a sour
taste in my mouth about musicals because that was just
so boring to me, Like I just I thought it
(37:53):
was so so boring. But when my mom went to
go see it, she said it was a great play.
I was just like, I can't even tell you right
now what the plays about. It's about this like little
farm girl and guy falling in love, and I don't
remember anything other than my line, So then after that,
instead of continuing with musicals and in the theater department,
(38:13):
I kind of veered more to cheerleading and I started
doing ballet cordico, so I started doing Mexican ballet, and
I started doing everything, literally everything else, cheerleading, lacrosse, rugby,
like I played every student council. So I kind of
veered away from the theater world just because I felt
like that play was so boring to me, and then
(38:34):
the cattiness of the cass like I didn't really fully
get along with everybody else in the drama department, even
though I took drama classes too, on top of being
in the in the musical. But yeah, it just wasn't
really my calling. I never dreamed of being on Broadway.
It was never because I never even thought I could
ever do it. But here we are, are I'm making
(38:56):
my Broadway debut. I can't even believe it's really happening.
I remember last year there was whispers of it possibly happening,
and then it got solidified a few months ago, and
now literally today I did my fitting for it, and
I cannot believe that we are here and we're doing
it in a week. I'm gonna officially be on Broadway
(39:18):
in New York City. I don't care if it's for
a night, I don't care if it's a one off.
I will show my talents. I will. I will do
everything I can to make sure that I do a
little crystal due diligence. But we out here doing the thing,
and I'm so blessed that my family's going to be there.
I wish that our babies could be there. I wish
the little duck could be there. My nephew he's going
to be in his last week of school, and then
(39:40):
our son, we don't have him that week. So it's
it's just it didn't work out, and let's cross our
fingers out. Maybe I could do it again before I
leave New York City, so next time they can pull up.
But dang, my family's pulling up and it's just such
a blessing and I am just Oh, I cannot wait
to tell you about how it goes. So we have
(40:01):
a week for that. So keep me in your thoughts
and prayers, give me good energy that I break a
leg and everything goes perfectly fine. So that is what's
been going on in my life. You know, in last
week's episode, I was just so overwhelmed with all the
amazing blessings that are happening, and it just seems like
more and more in happening, and summer is officially here.
(40:22):
The weather today coming in, I was definitely moist in
all the moisty places because it's hot again. It's seventy
degrees and I've been wanting this for so long. I'm
very thankful. I have an amazing weekend coming up and
chilling the weekend after that, and then it's going to
be a good summer. I can already feel it in
my bones that it's I'm going to try to make
(40:43):
this a really really good summer and just a lot
more prep wedding prep, wedding wedding wedding wedding wedding prep.
So that's what we're doing. That's a we're We're at
hope that you enjoyed this week's episode. We're going to
wrap up with our daily motivator. This one is called
always something. Ah, It's always something. No matter how much
(41:04):
you work to get caught up, an unexpected issue catches
up to you. But that's okay because you can handle
it and you will rather than feeling resentful about all
you have to deal with, realize how empowering it is.
With every effort, you become stronger and more experienced. Your patience, understanding,
and discipline continue to get more deeply ingrained. Life hits
(41:25):
you with unexpected difficulties, and each time you get the
opportunity to respond with the best you can. Your mind,
or muscles and your spirit can all weaken if they're
not regularly challenged. So it's good to be appreciative of
those challenges. Yes, it's always something. Yet in dealing with
life's steady stream of issues, you're living at your best.
(41:49):
Oh that was good. It's true. There are always gonna
be something. There's always gonna be something, and then there's
always gonna be something better. How about that always going
to be improvement? I feel like I've definitely been working
on that. I tell you all the time. I've been
working on when there's a wrench, when there's a curveball,
just assessing, taking it in, assessing how you're feeling a
(42:15):
just see what you can do first to protect your feelings,
to protect your feelings, and then to protect your future
so it doesn't happen again. Yeah, I feel like even
the last weekend when I was in Boston with our
family friends. There were some unexpected things that were happening
(42:36):
on the trip, some unexpected feelings that I had inside,
and I took some days to sit on it. I
took some time to talk to my circle about it.
I took some time to talk to Zaddy about how
it was feeling. And it was not easy to come
out with these feelings. But when I did, my girls
were like, oh, Crystal, you are totally valid and these feelings. Yes,
(42:58):
that was very weird. Happy that you vocalized it and
definitely let them know what you're feeling there and how
to adjust in the future. And so I feel like
now with certain relationships, I'm gonna have to adjust a
little bit because there's just some things that I was
not very settled with. But that's okay. You can you
(43:21):
can decide how you want to balance things. You can
adjust how your boundaries are going to be with people
going forward and in certain situations, and that is totally fine.
It's not the end of the world. Sit feel, assess,
adjust because it's always going to be something and it's
always going to be something better. So I hope that
helped you. Thank you for hanging out, we're not going
(43:43):
to move on into our closing prayer. If a prayer
is not in your cards today, that's totally fine. Thank
you so so much for hanging out. I'm going to
see you in next week's episode. If you are not
familiar with praying and maybe you have a calling right
now to just stick around, why not just stick around
and see how it goes. And if you're excited for
these closing prayers, I'm so happy that we're here together
(44:04):
to enjoy it. This one says, seek my face, Seek
my face at the beginning of your day. This practice
enables you to put me on and wear me throughout
the day. Most people put on clothes soon after rising
from bed. Similarly, the sooner you put me on by
communicating with me, the better prepared you are for whatever
(44:24):
comes your way. To wear me is essentially to have
my mind, to think my thoughts. Ask the Holy Spirit
to control your thinking. Be transformed by this, renewed by
this renewal within you. Thus you are well equipped to
face whatever people want situations I bring your way. Clothing
your mind in me is your best preparation for each day.
(44:47):
This discipline brings joy and peace to you. And those
around you. So I'm twenty seven to eight Romans thirteen
fourteen Colossians three twelve. I need to work on this.
I need to work on getting back to my morning
daily calendar, getting back to my morning app. I love
(45:08):
the prayer app. It's called Our Daily Bread. And I
don't know, I feel like sometimes because i'd be sinning still,
I feel guilty to like wake up that way. But
that's so wrong, Like we don't We're actually not supposed
to feel guilty, Like that's not the point. We're supposed
to feel like we can always be forgiven because we can.
So I'm I'm gonna try working on that again and
(45:31):
start and you know, also, like I don't know, I
just I'm so used to scrolling and I'm so used
to podcasts that I just ematically when I wake up,
I go into podcast mode and I listen to podcasts.
And it's just like, girl, start your day with a
good breath of fresh air with a prayer. And it's true,
like that will help you set up the rest of
(45:51):
the day if you if you learn learn some type
of message from the readings, so then and yes, that
helps you because when you put me on, when you
wear me, when you have the cloak, when you have
Jesus's robe on you, that's kind of like a reminder
to treat other people like that, and that God is
(46:11):
within us, and the goodness of God and the Holy
Spirit should be controlling what we're doing throughout the day.
So this is a beautiful reminder that if you and
including myself, wake up feeling a little uneasy, or just
haven't wake up and up feeling excited for life, or
if you just kind of need a little more challenge
to get closer to God, you and I can work
(46:34):
on making sure that the first thing we do at
the beginning of the day, if you haven't downloaded our
Daily Bread app you listen to that passage, you listen
to one of your readings, you flip over your prayer calendar,
and me, I need to get back into this prayer
calendar too, because I feel like I really only pick
this up now when I hang out with you, but
I should be reading this before my show every day
(46:57):
so that I can use my platform with the will
of God in mind, which is just it's bigger than me.
And I don't go on air preaching. I don't go
on air pushing anyone for any faith. That's a mind
you don't have to do. That's not our job, that's
not my job. But I can lead with the tongue
(47:20):
of love. And I feel like if I continue and
I work on making sure I put on God and
I wear God in the beginning of the day, it's
going to help me do that more So, I hope
that helped you. Have you been Thank you for hanging
out another episode of a Crystal's Nightcap. Whatever your prayers are,
whatever you need to help with, I'm throwing you love,
