(00:00):
Hello to your beautiful Annia Knocker.It's a Crystal Rosas back with another episode
of Crystal's Nightcap. Tonight, weinterview Suki Hana the Goat. We appear
in a Taylor Swift TV special.My Mommy and Aualitos are in New York
City hanging out with me and takeoff frisky in my boss's hot tub.
Gives. My name is Crystal Rosas. I'm a twenty something Latina who just

(00:22):
moved from California to the Big Apple. It's happy. Sorry, that was
my cat frappuccino. They're still gettingused to the city life. Anyways.
Where was I? Um? Ohyeah, I take over afternoon radio every
day on the world famous Z onehundred. But when nightfalls, I'm looking
for all the cloud I can getand casually searching these streets from my Prince

(00:42):
Charming. Come on this sexy singlejourney where we'll go on a date with
a new guy from the apps everyweek, host red carpets and interviews,
and weasel our way into the secretsociety of New York's top social lights.
Oh yeah, and someone's always watching. That's my overprotective mom. This is
Cystal's Nightcap. Happy Tuesday. Wow, last week was a lot. This

(01:07):
weekend was there is just a lot. Let's just hop into it. Okay,
we're getting into Crystal's Nightcap right now. That's really what I have to
say. But first of all,thank you so much for bringing out.
Please subscribe if you have not subscribed, to the podcast with your friends if
you are really liking it. I'mlive in New York City Monday through Friday
two to six pm on ZE onehundred. If you're not in the city,

(01:27):
don't worry. I'm on our freei Heeart radio app wherever you are.
I'm on tons of stations across thecountry, so make sure you check
the me out on those. Andall my socials are at La Crystal a
Little Sauce. We're on IG atCrystal's Nightcap. Let's get into it.

(01:49):
Sit back, relax. It's Crystal'sNightcap. What's up, y'all. It's
Suk Suk with the Good Kuchi,the Good Cat, Suki, Hanna and
West Rosas and sat a Crystal's Nightcap. That happened. That was wild.
I'll get into her and how thathappened in a little bit. But last

(02:09):
week was a very long week.Like the longest week ever. My partner
was gone from our show, soI did the whole show by myself all
week, which it's not new forme. I mean, I had my
own show when I did the nightshow, and I've done my afternoon show
by myself before. But I wasactually caught off guard. I did not

(02:30):
know that they were going to beon vacation, so it was kind of
like it hit me in the face, and I just wished that I was
a little more prepared for it,but nonetheless I do. I had to
do. The way that it workshere for my afternoon show is that my
partner is the one that pushes thebuttons and takes cares of the buttons,
and there's a lot of them.And I did that myself every other Saturday

(02:51):
when I have my Saturday shifts,and I like to the Friday before my
Saturday shift be on the board alittle bit. That's what it's called when
you're on the board pushing all thebuttons, because it's kind of like when
you're driving airplane or driving a rocketship and you haven't done it in a
while, You're going to forget wheresome buns are. You're going to forget

(03:12):
how to push the button for thisand this and that. So that's what
was frustrating for me. When itcomes to the content of my show,
it's always at a ten, likeI know exactly what my listeners want to
hear, I know exactly who mydemographic is. I know what we'll get
the people talking, what we'll getthe people going. That is the easy
part for me, and honestly,what I love the most out of my
job. I am gonna be honest, I don't really care about the technical

(03:35):
aspect of it, Like I don'treally have a passion for the buttons,
and if it sounds super good,like it should, it needs to sound
super good and fluid. But forme, I think it's more important what
I'm saying and what our listeners areengaging with me over the microphone instead of
like the buttons of it all.But when you're working on the biggest regio

(03:58):
station in the world, you haveto be and know both. So that's
why I was a little thrown offguard, is because I wish that I
would have been on the board afew more days before. I was going
to be on the board by myselffor an entire week, so I wouldn't
have been so rusty, and that'swhat it was really tough for me,
was that I'm really hard on myselfand you never know who's listening. My
boss does listen, boss's boss's bosses, the CEO listens to Z one hundred.

(04:25):
And I really am hard on myselfwhen I kind of hiccup here,
I'm supposed to push that button andI accidentally press this button and the mechanics
of it aren't one hundred percent,And so the first day I had a
few hiccups. Throughout the week,I would say maybe once or twice a
show, I would have a hiccupwhen it comes to the buttons, and
it would really get me upset andget me interrupt because I wish that I

(04:48):
was more prepared for the week.But at the end of the day,
content is king and content is whatmatters. And I decided that I was
going to go off and kind ofdo my own thing and ask trending topic
questions on my socials and have thatbleed into my show. And that one
really well because I've never gotten somuch engagement on Instagram that I had last

(05:09):
week, and it proved to methat I can one totally do something like
this by myself and to know exactlywhat we'll get the people talking. So
I'm really happy about that. It'sreally tough to get engagement now on social
media. Not sure if you're inthe social media space or not, but
when I was first popping off onInstagram, this was like twenty fifteen,
sixteen seventeen, it was really easyfor influencers to get engagement going. I

(05:34):
feel like I would pop out acrack and video and easily I would get
like one too, maybe even threehundred comments. You post a funny caption
with the funny photo, and you'regonna get a lot of love. It
doesn't really work like that on socialsanymore. Mark Zuckerberg Meta. They have
been making a really hard for peopleon social media to blow up. I
mean, it's so hard to evengain followers. So now that I found

(05:58):
a niche way to kind of dothat at and it has been working.
Like I said, I've been gettinga thick amount of comments in the trending
topics that I've been posting on myInstagram. It made me feel a lot
better about doing the show solo.It made me feel like, Okay,
maybe the mechanics for my show onair aren't one hundred percent, but I
like to give one hundred and tenpercent everything I do, and so the
week was just kind of tough becauseI feel like I wasn't one hundred percent

(06:20):
prepared to work the board myself,but nonetheless, I feel like I did
give it my all. There wasalso a lot going on with interviews and
opportunities this week for this past weekfor me, which added another high end
layer of pressure. One of myfavorite, favorite favorite artists is coming to

(06:41):
New York City, Miss Taylor Swift, and I was asked to do a
TV appearance prepping for that. Soit's a special they're putting together for Taylor,
and it's not going to happen untilTaylor is in town so close to
the end of May. But giventhat I work on the biggest radio station
in the country and especially in theTri State area, I was so honored
to be someone speaking on behalf ofthe Swifties. This was like it felt

(07:08):
like it honestly felt like I wasliving in a dream because this is my
job. I'm supposed to be amusic expert, and if there's one artist
that I really really am an expertin, it is Taylor Swift. I've
been rocco with Taylor since the mySpace days. Taylor Swift is the reason
that I started playing the guitar andI started writing music when I was young,

(07:30):
and Taylor is everything to me whenit comes to artists. She is
my number one English speaking artist,number one, ten thousand percent, like
my favorite, favorite favorite artist ofall time, and I've been going to
olive her concerts every single time shewas in town. I've gone. I

(07:53):
have so many memories of seeing Taylorsince when I was a little thing,
and I'm just so I think fullthat I was asked to do this news
TV special for Taylor and celebrating thatshe's going to be in the Tri State
the end of this month, Sothat was really exciting. Not only that

(08:15):
the journalist that was interviewing me askedme questions about Taylor and why she's so
important to the Tri State and importantto fans. He is amazing and I've
worked with him before, and thequestions she was asking, we're so so
good, so thought out, andI really feel like I was prepared because
I genuinely am one of the biggestSwifties on the planet. So I'm really
excited for that to come out.I feel like I was a little nervous.

(08:39):
I'm not used to being interviewed thatoften. I'm usually the one interviewing,
so it was different for me.I hope that I wasn't speaking too
fast. I hope that I wasbeing clear and articulate. But at the
end of the day, I reallyhope that I am doing the Swifties at
Justice and that I'm doing Z onehundred at Justice because it was such an
amazing opportunity for me. Light's cameraaction. I'm definitely going to tell you
how to look out for that towardsthe end of the month. So it

(09:01):
was really big opportunity that I had. I had an interview with the artist
Tusi. We play his song allacross the country. It's called favorite song.
It really blew up on TikTok andnow we're playing it. So I
got to do a solo interview withTusi, who's amazing. Tusi's actually from
Syracuse, New York, so itwas a full circle moment for him to
be interviewed on a Z one hundredand I was really thankful to do that.

(09:22):
And another opportunity I had was tointerview and be part of another TV
slot from one of my favorite rapperson the entire planet, one of my
favorite women, one of my favoritehumans, tu Wak Planet Earth. What's
up, y'all? It Suk Sukwith the good Kuchik with the good cap,

(09:43):
Suki Hannah and we with Crystal Rosasinside a Crystal's nightcap. That is
absolutely insane to me, Suki Hannah. If you don't know Suki Hana,
we just can't hang out like weird. You're just not on the same ratchet
vibration as me. I have beenstalking and obsessed with Suki Hannah since twenty
eighteen. I've been daming her sincetwenty eighteen. This has been an interview

(10:07):
five years in the making. I'vebeen begging her to come visit. I
heart even when I worked and livedin San Francisco. There are risk seats,
the dms go back thick, andshe is an Internet personality. She
if I can really, if Ican compare her to anyone, It was
Cardi Bie's Stripper era, but evenmore rated X. Suki Hannah is hilarious

(10:33):
and an artist, a musician,and a rapper. She has hilariously witty
amazing music. Definitely that like ratchettype of rap. People compare her also
to Little Kim. It gets reallyvulgar. So do not listen with your
mom or already thou on the caror your sobs. But she is amazing

(10:56):
and I've loved her for so long. Fully controversial, she has done things
not only fans that it was evenkind of hard for me to still stick
by her at some points. Butat the same time, I love that
she is hilarious and I love thatshe stands for herself. Period. You
might not always agree with what peopleyou look up to do or say,

(11:20):
or how they act, but atthe end of the day, if you
are a real one, you area real one. And if you know
Sukihanna love her, you are areal one and you can party with me.
Now. A few weeks ago,my bff here I work at,
David texted me that actually he calledme. It was like, the craziest
thing is about to happen for you. You are going to have no idea

(11:41):
how to handle a lot of this. And not only that, David told
my boyfriend Daddie, he told myBavi and my mentor. They were all
like in a group text without me, and they all collectively decided to have
David please tell me what was goingon so I could prepare efficiently. And
he did let me know a fewweeks ago that Suki was gonna come and

(12:01):
do an interview because she is ona TV show and she is promoting a
new song and she would like myinterview to be part of the TV show
as well for when she's doing herpress run. And I could not believe
it. I was floored. Iknew that I needed to do something big
and bad for the Goat, Sukithe Goat. So I prepped to have

(12:24):
my favorite Japanese restaurant almost kase herein New York City Kaizen. I've talked
about them before. They are amazingand I love the team over there,
and the chef Ben was amazing,so I asked if he could come and
we can do taste testing with SukiHanna part of the interview. I got
balloons, I said Suki. Igot her flowers my nail tech from the

(12:46):
Babe Betty Cakes at Betty Cakes withtwo z's at the end, I had
her make a set for Suki Hannaand on the nails that says good Kuchi,
like, I wanted to make surethat Suki knows that we love her
and that she got the flowers thatshe absolutely deserves. So was so nervous.
I was prepping so much for this, and I prepped a lot,
like I prepped a lot, alot, a lot for this interview,

(13:07):
and I was actually pleasantly surprised thatI got afrobe to come through as well.
He is known as the King ofAfrobeats, which Afrobeats which is a
Nigerian music genre and involves a combinationof like West African musical styles such as
Yoruba music and high life. AndSuki now has a song with AfroB and

(13:28):
it's an afrobeat song. It's calledGusa Eagles. It is so good.
Afrobee actually really popped off during thepandemic, and I clearly remember this because
I played this song a lot duringmy night show at wildlandy for nine,
the song Joanna Joe Dous Oh myGod, I remember that banger. Well,

(13:50):
yeah, afrobe came in first.Him and I started to chatting.
We chatted for about forty five minutesand I was just asking him questions about
him and his booth thing and beingthe king of Afrobeats, and after him
and I chatted, he literally toldme that that was the best conversation he
has ever had for an interview.I was just like me, are you
serious? And then Suki came andI was so nerve this because I've been

(14:16):
obsessed with her for so long andI just could not believe that we were
here and doing this and in thebiggest city of the world, and just
knowing that it's been a long timecoming. And I didn't know how she
was going to act. I didn'tknow how it was going to go down.
But Suki is just the cutest,most amazing, sweetest sweetheart. I

(14:39):
know she acts crazy and different andout there on a social media which I
love, but like her just chill, one on one, very low key,
very chill. And it was differentthan what I had expected because when
I had seen in doll my researchfor my interviews, I saw her in
her more Suki Hanna like caricature type, but her in person when we were

(15:01):
starting the interview, she's very shy, she's very quiet, she's very reserved.
She kind of have to get hergoing a little bit. I had
Cosomi goes for her. The ThikelaI tried to kind of warm her up.
It was tough. I mean itwas tough just because it wasn't the
Suki that we all see and know. So I definitely tried my best to
kind of maneuver the interview. Herpeople really wanted me to go in with

(15:24):
the music questions, so that's whatI was doing at first, and that's
not always the most compelling conversation,where I am asking her about clubs and
asking her about her passion for AFRObeing what she wants to do, and
a little bit when the interview isgoing through, she's kind of like,
all I need a shot. Canwe ask them like more like chill fun
questions? And of course I wantedto get to that, but her team
really did want me to hit musicnumber one, and so I was like,

(15:46):
yes, yes, we'll get tothat right now. Actually, I
was gonna start asking you about thesedifferent things now. I also had to
be careful with my brand too,because I'd say Crystal's Nightcap and my brand
in general is PG thirteen. Like, I don't really like to get rated
R because my family listens my Sabatino'slisten, and I know that with Sukiana,

(16:07):
like it can get crazy, andI just didn't want to go too
off brand with myself, which waskind of a struggle, but not really.
I think that the way that Iasked questions was tasteful, and I
feel like she had a really goodtime, especially when we're getting towards the
middle of the interview and she wasgetting the drinks flowing in her. She

(16:29):
was kind of opening up a littlebit. And then she was asking me
to take shots with her too,which was tough because you know me,
I'm a lightweight these days. Idon't drink as much as I used to.
I'm kind of entering my Senora era, and so one shot that got
somebody goes I was sluring, andI was so embarrassed because it's light camera's
action. I mean, I havean actual television crew recording this. I'm

(16:52):
doing this for me, and nowI'm sluring on my own interview. I
was just like, that's why Icannot drink, Like, that's why I
cannot make pleasure with business. IfI'm doing business. I got to keep
it to the business. But atthe end of the day, it was
so much fun. She had nevereaten raw sushi before, even though she
suki with a good kuchi and shelet him eat the hushi like it's sushi.
She has not eaten Rosa sushi before, so getting that footage was great.

(17:18):
I know that will make it tothe show. And then at the
end, I just started playing hersongs and we all kind of started getting
a ratchet in the studio. Itwas so fun. And then afterwards they
invited me to all go out withthem, which would have been my dream
come true. But I had thatTaylor so special to film in the morning
like Hella early for me, soI was just like, trust me,

(17:41):
I want to get crazy with youso bad, but I just cannot because
I have to be responsible. Iknew I could not just slither in the
next morning looking at hot mess,especially for myself and the Swifties, so
I tooken for the team. Iknow at a time will come back where

(18:02):
I will be able to get ratchetwith Suki like that. But that was
just not the night I needed toget in, get the interview done,
get the TV stuff done. Thankyou so much again to Kaizen Sushi Here
and Queen's New York. Love youy'all really did what you had to do.
Thank you so so much. Iknow it was along night, but
we did that. And of courseI have to say thank you too my
bestee, David for setting it allup for me. I mean, David

(18:23):
is I would have died without Davidthat evening because it's just so hard out
here. There was no staff tohelp me film. There was no studios
for me to film in, soDavid, David's poor arm, had to
take one for the team and putthat day camera on his arm the whole

(18:44):
time, going back and forth withme and Suki for the hour and a
half. Our interview was like,yeah, our interview was a little over
an hour. Just turn an eye, and David took one for the team.
Not only that he helps everything upwith the sushi people, he helps
out everything up with the team.He was there to set up. He
is always the last one to beout to clean up after everybody. So
nobody says anything about us and he, I mean, he is just my

(19:07):
ride or die, Like no onecares about what I have going on as
much as David does. And ofcourse I have an amazing team here as
E one hundred, but there's onlyso much that can go around. There's
only so many people that can help. And you know, some people that
I asked help to do stuff,they were making excuses and kind of making
it a little difficult for me becauseeveryone's kind of looking out for themselves,
and David is someone that is justso selfless and is always gonna put others

(19:32):
before himself. I know David's turnwill come where he will get all the
loved accolades that he deserves. He'sstill on the grind right now, but
I mean I couldn't have pulled anyof that off without him. I'm just
so thankful that I have David onmy team because it was just such a
long day and weak for us,like I would have drowned. So,
David, I love you so much, like I don't even know what I

(19:56):
can do to ever repay you,but yeah, you are the best person
on planet Earth. Thank you soso much for doing that. Thank you
to Sukie's team for being amazing andletting me live my dream. Suki's team
was I iconic and I cannot waitto show you where that is gonna be.
It's gonna be a few months untilit comes out on TV because that's
how TV shows go, but yeah, hopefully we made it in there because

(20:18):
I was I really did want Ihad to do and tried to make that
episode look good for her. I'mnot exactly sure if we are going to
air the interview because I don't knowhow the filming looks. I don't know
if the conversations were like appropriate.I don't know if it flowed well because
remember I said at the beginning,it was kind of interesting because she was

(20:38):
really quiet and shy and timid,and it was kind of awkward. So
I would do my best that Icould, but it was it was really
tough. So I don't know ifwe are going to air then interview.
I think we are going to airclips on social media, but TBD on
all that. However, just beingin her presence and just giving her her
flowers for us, it was alot, and I hope that she was

(21:02):
happy with it. It seemed likeshe was. So that was interviewing the
most iconic woman on the planet forme, Sukihana. Friday night after work,
I got to link up with oneof my best dies, Ella.
She's from the Bachs, actually ananchor on Krown four News. If you
watch Krown four, she is amazing, iconic. I love her so much.
She was just in town for theweekend with her besties. She invited

(21:23):
me to dinner, and then sheinvited me to go out afterwards. But
I had a Saturday morning shift,so I decided just to stay back rest
a little bit because the last weekwas just so so mentally draining for me.
So then Saturday morning I had myshift, and because I also had
my other weekend shifts to do,i'd like seven shows to record. I

(21:45):
didn't put my best effort into myshows like that weekend. I was like,
you know what, I always putone hundred and ten into every single
thing that I do at work,and this week has just strained me.
I'm just gonna take it chill,and I'm gonna take it mellow. I'm
just gonna be surface level with mycontent. I'm just going to introduce songs
here and there, maybe do atidbit here and there. I'm not going

(22:08):
to get too creative with my shows, which you're going to see in a
little bit. Why that was maybenot the best thing to do. But
Saturday, after my show, Ijust went home and I slept and I
did absolutely nothing. Saturday, Iwoke up and headed to church. I'm

(22:29):
hosting hospitality for the next few weekshere in New York City for my church,
because the people that usually lead hospitalityafter church, which is cookies and
tea and snacks, they are goingto be out of town. So they
asked if I could help take over. And we also got a new priest.
By the way, he is ahunk. How interesting that sometimes these

(22:51):
priests just be looking beautiful and gorgeous. Is going to be a good sight
to see every Sunday, another extrareason to hang out with the Yeah,
my priest, my new priests isfine, but that's not the point.
The point is for hospitality. LastSunday I had brought some muffins and I
had brought some little cute oranges,and then the coffee is already there and

(23:15):
hot water for tea. Easy,right. I had thought that we're gonna
have leftovers, and we did fromlast week to to kind of roll over
to this week. You know,some extra CUTI oranges, some extra little
muffins. And when I get tochurch, I realized that I put the
oranges on the wrong shelf, andso someone took all the oranges, and
so I only had muffins, andI don't have time to go to the

(23:36):
store. So during church, Iam literally quaking because I'm like, oh
my goodness, hospitality is going tobe a flop. There's only going to
be little muffins. They're not gonnahave fru What if people want to eat
a little something healthy, I don'thave anything, So I'm stressing the entire
service, and I'm just like,you know what, Why, after I
get the sea the Bread of Jesus, I'm gonna sprint out and see if

(24:00):
I can find something at seven toeleven next door. So I go up,
I eat Jesus, I sprint out. I go to the seven to
eleven and there's some like crusty orangesthere. So I'm like, you know,
well, I'm gonna grab some ofthese oranges and I'm gonna cut them
up in case people want something that'syou know, healthy and maybe not a
muffin. So I do that.I roll into hospitality. It's all chill,

(24:22):
it's all fine. I'm vigorously cuttingup these oranges, hoping that like
not twenty people pull up and tryingto get everything set up really quickly.
Last a minute, I sit down, I see my homie come through.
We always see her Lovey Cathy.We see Markie come through, Marky again,
and then Francis will come and thatwas it. It was just the

(24:42):
four of us, like no oneelse came, which is how the funny.
And I was the only one thatwas eating the oranges. But it's
fine. Sometimes we have a groupof ten, sometimes we have just us,
a group of four, and thatis totally fine. These are my
people. I love seeing them everySunday. I love hearing what they have
going on. The priest came in. I'm actually gonna blame the person that

(25:03):
did the announcement at the end abouthospitality, like he didn't enunciate enough so
people, he just kind of muffledall the words. He didn't do a
good job of announcing that there wasgoing to be hospitality after with coffee and
snacks and beverages. So I thinkthat's why nobody came through. But also
it was a called rainy day.Everybody just wants to go home, I
understand, But it's okay. Ifhospitality is just going to be the four

(25:26):
of us, then that's what it'sgonna be, and it's great. We
got to hang out, we gotto meet the new priest. He spent
a little time with us after aswell, so it was a good old
time. We were there for probablyan hour an hour and a half and
then we all wrapped it up andcalled it a beautiful Sunday hospitality. So
then after that, I was like, I need a massage, and I'm

(25:48):
so thankful that Natasha from San Francisco, my bestie and jav they gifted me
for my birthday and they always dothis. They gifted me a massage,
and then my boyfriend Zaddy, healso gifted me a massage, and coincidentally
they gifted it to the same place. So I had a fat gift card
to give, like a really thickgift certificate to get a two hour massage

(26:10):
here in the city. And Idon't do that very often. I don't
The last time I got a massagehere in the city was literally like the
month that I moved here, andmy homie Zach pulled up Mistevod Zach.
We all got massages together, andso I just really needed a zen.
I think about nothing, think aboutnobody, just a massage my entire body.

(26:30):
Let me tell you, two hoursis still not enough. I was
wondering if two hours is going tobe too long, but no, I
could have gone another two. Itwas incredible, it was amazing. I
was so happy. It was everything. My body really needed that. And
it was pouring rain like a stormwhen I got out, and I loved

(26:51):
it like I love the rain inNew York. It is so pretty,
it is so romantic. I wishit was warmer, even though it was
cold. But I also had toget some Girl series because my mommy sand
Rita Sandra, is in town andI'm Anapa Auilitos and they were going to
pull up the next day, soI had to make sure I had everything
ready and set for them. SoI got them everything for the freezer,

(27:15):
some chicken lits, I got awhole bunch of stuff for the fridge,
like fruit and eggs and things likethat. My mom sent me a whole
bunch of stuff from Costco. Iwant to have a little surprise for them,
so I got them flowers and Imade chocolate covered strawberries for them,
and then I made her to getNew York pizza. So yesterday I was
a regular day at work, butI had to get everything set for my

(27:37):
family. That's why I wasn't hereon the pod and that's why I'm posting
it today. But yes, myfamily pulled up. And the fun thing
is I told my friend Desk.I was like, listen, I'm tracking
my mom right now on her phoneand she's pulling up. Can you tell
her to come to this side ofthe elevator so I could scare her.
So as soon as she pulled up, I'm so mad because I was just
so nervous to scare her that Ilike pressed the record button while I was
recording, so it didn't actually record, but I got her so good she

(28:02):
screamed at the top of her lungsand amnapaga scared too, and it was
great. And then they come inand I have the Frank Sinatra New York
New York song playing, and Ihave the flowers there, the chocolate covered
strawberries. It smells like New Yorkpizza. I mean, it's so happy
to see them. My authos havenever been to my apartment or to New

(28:22):
York City ever, so this isour first time in New York. And
let me tell you coming Ama.My Aualita she is from Mexicali. She
was born in Mexicali, Gallexico actually, and my auitoa he was born in
San Dias, Luranngo, Mexico.So they really came from small towns.

(28:44):
Well, Amma came from like abigger town, but my grandpapa he came
from like it's just desert, likethere's really nothing there, just desert,
and a lacan is just desert andscorpions. Ever, like literally the state
animal is a scorpion. So they'venever seen a city like New York City,
the Bay. San Francisco is ahuge city obviously, like fourth market
in the country, but other thanthat in Mexico City, they have never

(29:08):
really been to a big city likethat, and they've heard so much about
it. They're so proud of me. They come from a family of hustlers.
Amah her dad was a barber.He did the haircuts for all like
the upper echelon people of the area. He cut hair for lawyers and doctors,

(29:30):
and he was really respected and lovedin the town. And ABA's dad
was a grocery store owner. Heowned one of the only groceries in that
small town as well, and sohe did really really well for himself.
He was a hustler. And thenAba and Ama decided to come to California

(29:51):
to give their kids, my momand my deals a better life. And
so a Ba struggled a lot.I mean he started from bottom. He
worked at the first job Aba gotin La was he was working with the
company like a company that would shredwould to make like wood sheets. And

(30:15):
then he started working at a carwash. And then he and A'ma moved
to Oakland and Apa started working fordifferent things, but eventually he landed at
Genetech and he would set up thelabs and clean and dispose all the like
the toxic waste would do that,and he worked really hard. He worked

(30:40):
crazy hours. He would get uplike Hella Hella early, and Ama was
a stay at home mom, sothey were able to send my mom to
private school in Oakland shout to SaintLiz and they just like a Ba and
Amma worked so much to afford mymom's keen sea. My Awadita Amashi actually
got a job and for the firsttime I ever started working so they can
save enough money to have a keenSenana for my mom. And it was

(31:00):
popping. It was correct and thepictures look a lit. They were all
thrown it back and all the workthat they put into my mom and my
other theois like really paid off becausethey were able to raise us their grandkids,
and now we are also killing it, like all of us are really
helping my grandparents live the American dream. That's I think why I work so

(31:26):
hard and do so much and feellike I really want to make my family
proud, because I remember seeing upa struggle working Hella, getting up so
early, getting home so tired,and even after work, key About would
take me and Junior to my danceclasses and Junior's hockey games and everything,

(31:47):
like it takes a lot to raisea family. It takes a village,
and so my family has always beenthere for us, and none of us
had left the nest right like myentire family on my mom's side, because
me and my brother are the oldest, and I was the first grandkid of
theirs to move to like just completelydo their own thing out of the area

(32:07):
that we're from, out of California. So it was a big change and
maneuver for all of us. Butwe all knew that if I wanted to
keep going and keep pursuing my dreams, I had to leave the nest.
I had to go and do mything out here in New York City,
and the past two years that I'velived here, they've seen phase times,
they've seen videos, they've seen photos, but they haven't ever been to New

(32:28):
York City, and they've never beenable to see how I live. And
they were just so excited to behere. I was so happy to see
them. My grandparents were just speechlessabout my apartment and where I'm living and
the fact that I'm able to doit all myself. Even I sometimes and
still shook, like I live here, I'm sustaining myself, like I could
do this. That's wild, that'scrazy. I would have never thunk,

(32:49):
but it really is like a wholeother world. And I really have my
Abulitos to think for it, becauseif they weren't so brave, and if
they wouldn't have done the best thatthey could have done for their kids,
to make sure that my parents werethe best for me being born and my
brother, who knows, maybe wewould still be in Durngol. So that

(33:10):
is crazy. And I love myfamily in Mexico. I've never been to
that part. I've never been toDurngo. I really hope to one day.
And that's no shade to Durngol,but it's it's hard to get out
of there. There's still a lotof their family members that have stayed.
They artists, used to the lifethere and it's a beautiful life and they
just wanted to live that. AndI told I even asked about like why

(33:35):
did you want to move from Drongole, and he just said, there was
just no job, Like there wasno jobs for us to to progress the
family, Like there was just reallynothing to do, like you were going
to be a farmer or you're gonnahave like a little store, but you
got to get out of there totry to make something more for your kids.
And that's what we wanted to do. And we saw some family members

(33:55):
moved to the USA, and that'swhat we wanted to do. And it
was the best decision we ever made, even though it was really tough and
we sacrificed a lot, Like lookat our daughter. We were able to
send her to private school, andshe was able to send her kids to
private school and some of them wentto college. And now all of our
grandkids are just excelling. And that'sreally what we wanted. We wanted to

(34:15):
have a family create an empire.And I feel like that's what we're doing.
And I'm just so blessed. I'mso thankful that I have my grandparents
around. Audita she is eighty one, a'ma, she's eighty one next month,
and Apa is like seventy eight,and they're able to come out and
see in New York, see thecraziest, most amazing city in my heart.

(34:37):
So they got in. They lovethe view, they love the apartment.
There is enough space for all ofus. It was hell of funny
because obviously I offered am Anapa mybed in my room. But my bed
is it's high, it's up there, so I tried to get on there.
She could and she's like, no, I'm not sleeping on there.
It's okay. I could sleep onthe pull out in the living room.
Somnapa sleeping in the living room.Me and my mom and Frappie are sleeping

(34:59):
in my room. We're just allcracking up because there's five bodies including my
cat, in my one bedroom apartment. There's enough space, but you know,
there's two suitcases. They want thoseout. We all have our stuff
spread out. A'ma. It's like, okay, where do I put my
Medicinaina? For my heart, thisone was for my this, this is
for that. So like we're findingspace in the cabinet for Ama stuff.

(35:22):
Aba needs to find a plug forhis hearing aids and his phone and they're
like toothbrushes and Aman used to finda tupperware for her teeth. Is just
like hella funny, Like we're allcracking up. My mom bought a whole
bunch of stuff, like I said, from Costco and she's like, oh
good, the egg whites came here. I'm I was like, no,

(35:44):
she doesn't like egg whites. Likewe're all contemplating what we're gonna be eating
breakfast, lunch, and dinner.And my mom she doesn't want to eat
out too much as they can barelywalk like they are in canes. They
have canes now, my mom andmy Audita Mama, they are both afraid
of my cat Frappy. They're justa whole bunch of layers to this two

(36:05):
week fiasco. But it's going tobe so much fun. I have Broadway
planned for them. I have acute little like tea party brunch planned for
them as well. Because my mom'sbirthday is this Friday, so hopefully I'm
going to be able to spend timewith them. It's tough because I have
interviews and I have different things todo here at work. I'm trying to

(36:25):
say no to as much as Ican, but I also don't like saying
no because I you know, it'swork, so I don't want to say
no to certain things. But atthe same time, I do want to
make sure that I spend enough timewith them. I had this weekend off,
which is great. I do haveto work the next weekend, but
it's okay, Like at least I'mgoing to be able to spend Sundays with
them and another Saturday with them.I don't have too much time off to

(36:45):
be taking a vacation time. I'mgoing to try to say that for more
when summer is here here. ButI'm so excited that my family is in
town and home and they're going tobe making me amazing food. And I
hope that I'm not kin Hay becauseI know she can't walk. We're gonna
be taking taxis and ride shares asmuch as we can so they don't get

(37:05):
tired out. But I'm really excitedto tell you guys how week one went
with my entire Familia in a nextweek's episode of Crystal's Nightcap. But how
about we get into a Maya cave, Crystal's cave as we're talking about the
boys, the crevices, all that, Chad's We're getting into it, right,
Meal, Hello, who's in here? It's so dark? You what's

(37:27):
dripping stuff on something? You're nowinside crystals cave. Now. One of

(37:47):
the trending topics I talked about onair last week had to do with a
post I saw. It's this manasking is buying my co worker breakfast?
It's cheating, and it struck achord. A lot of people had their
opinions. Lope, Michelle, here'sa trending topic. What do you think

(38:07):
is a buying food for a coworkerthat's not your partner cheating? Yes,
if you're hide in it, yes, it's cheating. Who are you seating?
Why are you not seating me?So I'm saying any money that's not
spent on me and another woman,that's cheating, right, Yes, Hey,
who's this? What do you thinkAlison? Hey, Alison, do
you think buying food for a coworker is cheating? No? I think

(38:30):
this is the most ridiculous thing I'veever heard of it. So I am
just the basket case and I'm alwayslike doing for others and forgetting about myself.
Maybe that's just an issue. Butif it was just like some random
girl that he might like, thenmaybe sure, yeah that's a little weird.
I'd be triggered, but like it'sa coworker, who cares? I
hear that. Thanks Alison, Let'skeep the convo going on all socials.

(38:50):
I'm at lack, Crystal little Saskoahead, chime in. Do you think
buying your coworker that's not your partnerfood is cheating? No? Really,
what do you think about that?See? I have tried to grow a
lot. I was once just atoxic tammy. I was very insecure and

(39:13):
didn't want my man looking at nobodyelse and I didn't want my man buying
nobody nothing. And those toxic tendenciesare still sprinkled in through my soul,
like I have not completely shed thatlayer yet. So the thought of my
man buying another female food that doessomething to me inside that triggers me to

(39:38):
the core. And I don't knowwhat if it's a blood relative And I
said that on Instagram, like ifit's a blood relative, okay, but
if it's not even a single grape, I would definitely like ball at my
fists. It just it also kindof depends. It's like, I don't

(40:00):
if there will be a situation whereI'm ever around my boyfriend and his coworkers.
But let's say I am. Idon't want Karen coming up to me
and being like, oh my gosh, you got a good when when Zaddi
he makes sure to get me lunchevery Tuesdays and Thursdays those are lunch,
It's like, that's a note thatwould really get me angry. And if

(40:22):
I find out that he's buying anotherwoman food and not grub hubbing me,
something that would get me mad.It's just like, do not spend money
on anybody else other than me,especially when it comes to food. I
don't know. I also think contextmatters, like if it's a client or

(40:42):
something obviously that's different, or ifit's like a boss and you're trying to
like, you know, kiss thebooty cheeks, like I get that,
but if it's like your peer orbelow, and I even kind of also
understand if it's maybe like someone that'sjust starting off and they're not making as
much money as you, and youguys are going out, Like, I
think that's sweet. I wouldn't reallyhate on that, but I would also
want you to grub a me too, because it's just like that, I'm

(41:06):
sorry, Like I am sorry.I'm still a little toxic, and I
hope to one day a mature abutterfly out of that. But don't know,
I don't know. That's just methough. It would kind of get
me a little annoyed. I knowit's a little insecure sounding that it just
is what it is. Would hebe Would my boyfriend be okay with me

(41:28):
making a man a sandwich? That'sI'm making a coworker a sandwich. Let's
say all of the sandwich ingredients arein the fridge and I'm making one for
myself and my co worker is like, yo, can you make me a
sandwich too? Like unless my coworkermakes sandwiches for me on Tuesdays and I
make him for him on Thursdays,like I understand Josh Martinez, for example,

(41:50):
my co worker who does the showafter me here on ZE one hundred,
him and I sometimes like tit fortat when it comes to food to
be okay. Hey, you gotme last time when I was really hungry,
you offered I'm gonna get you thistime. It's kind of like that.
I would understand that more, especiallyif I knew of the co worker,
you know. But if it's justsome randership it's like Zaddy. He
knows of Josh Martinez. I've sharedthings about him before, and he knows

(42:13):
that Josh is just the homie.But if it's just like some random you
know, it just it would triggerme. And I don't think that my
boyfriend would be okay with me makinganother man, even if he's my coworker
a sandwich. Maybe I should askhim, but I don't think so.
Yeah, that's just that's my opinion. That's my opinion. Everyone, you

(42:34):
do what you gotta do. Whatdo you think about this? Would you
be triggered if your partner bought foodfor one of their coworkers a breakfast,
a lunch, a dinner every oncein a while. Again, you let
me know on everything. I'm atlack crystaltal sas. That also kind of
spawned me into another topic. Whenmy homegirl Joanne called in. Now,
Joe Anne, you're always hanging outwith us. You called. You gotta

(42:57):
let me know who is the hottestcoworker you've ever had? What kind of
question about my husbands listening on theradio? Are Oh my gosh, I
worked at a hospital one time.The doctors were pretty hot. But that's
you're in aiform. We'll call himdoctor John. How about that? Sure,
doctor John? Do you know whothat is? Though, Joanne?

(43:20):
I know who it is. Ohmy god, you're so funny. Fine,
chill, have a great day.Yeah, hello, put her on
blast with that one. She's amazing. She's always hanging out and um,
she's always calling in. I loveJoanne. So I guess yeah, when
you're working at a doctor's office,there's there's gonna be some doctors in those
doctors outfits? What are they?Uniforms? Look at a lecture, spicy,

(43:45):
Think back to your hottest coker coworkerchill you've ever had. I'm trying
to think of all the jobs.Okay, but when I was a basketball
rev, No, there was noone cute. When I worked at the
farmers Market, Yeah no, therewas no one Q. When I worked
at pasta oh my, oh wow. Okay, Yeah, when I worked

(44:07):
in catering, you know, whenyou're younger, Like you think when you're
younger, when you're like seventeen,eighteen, nineteen twenty, you think these
guys that are like twenty five andabove are so hot, But if you
really took a step back, likethey were really not all that. There
was this coworker Patrick, when Iworked at Pacific Fine Food, when I

(44:29):
was catering. I was eighteen,he was twenty five six, And oh
my god, y'all, I wasobsessed with Patrick. I think that I
even talked about him before. I'mpretty sure I've talked to him about him
before. And I was obsessed withPatrick, And honestly, I thought Patrick

(44:49):
loved me, like we had sucha good time whenever we are shifts together.
We actually were kind of banned frombeing on shifts together because they said
that we would laugh and have toomuch fun together. But Patrick was everything
to me. And he used toplay. He used to play I cannot
give too many details. He usedto play on a very prominent sport for

(45:15):
one of the biggest colleges in theBay and then he played that sport and
he went to that college and thenhe graduated, and he kind of didn't
really know what he wanted to do. He was kind of like questioning.
He was kind of like a flop. I think it's because he got hurt.
And then he started catering with us, and I was so google gaga

(45:36):
over Patrick. This like tall whiteguy, blue eyes, red ginger hair,
big old beard, flowy blondie,red hair, tall as heck.
And I loved me so Patrick.I was just crossing my fingers and toes
that Patrick was on my shift thatmorning or that day, and you could

(45:57):
like see who's there for the day, and I would look at the sheet
and be like, dang it,Patrick's not here, dang it, Q
was here yesterday. But probably afew times a week we would have shifts
together and then they would like sendme to do a different catering thing and
him to do a different catering one, and it was just like the worst.
But yeah, I remember one time, Oh my gosh, this was
crazy. This is crazy. I'venever shared the story. So if you're

(46:20):
a Latina, your mom never letyou sleep over anywhere. And growing up,
my mom only let me sleep overlike my Pattyma's houses barely and like
one friend because she didn't have anybrothers. So when I turned eighteen and
started going to community college. Iwas like, Mom, you gotta be
chill and let me live my life. And I'm gonna start sleeping over in
my Patima's dorm because my cousin shewent to cal Berkeley, so I just

(46:42):
pretty much moved in with her intoher dorm. There was like two twin
beds, and I had to blowup in the middle of the twin beds
and that's how we lived. Andso I would sleep over there. But
every once in a while I wouldwant to get Ratchett and I would just
kind of like sleep wherever I wanted, but I would tell my mom that
I was sleeping at the dorm.So there was one day where Patrick was

(47:04):
actually gonna house it for our boss. And our boss is she's just such
a boss, Like she has afat house and Alameda. She had like
a hot tub, like all thisstuff. So Patrick was like, yo,
Crystal, what are you doing tonight? And I was like nothing,
And it was like listen, I'mactually gonna house it and some friends are

(47:25):
coming over if you want to comeover on hot tub and drink, and
I was like absolutely, So Iam quaking in my boots, quaking in
my boots. I was like,oh my god, like, this is
the night that I'm gonna profess mylove to Patrick. So I go over
and his friends are there, andwe're all drinking in the hot tub.
We're like literally just chugging our bossesalcohol and vodka from the fridge and it's

(47:50):
really fun. It's a really goodtime. It's a good vibe. Finally
his friends leave and it's just meand Patrick in the hot tub and we're
kissing or whatever, and then hestarts trying to be a little touchy with
me, and I was just notabout that. I was a little like
late Blooman when it came to thosethings. So I was telling Patrick,
yeah, like, let's just youknow, keep kissing. So I'm trying

(48:10):
to do tonight. Do you usuallylike do that with girls like on the
first night? He literally said,you know, when girls do that on
the first night, it just showsme that they really like me. And
I was not a thrown thief thatlike, I was not a doodo head,
Like I knew that Patrick was justtrying to do things and I was
just like, yeah, no,it's okay, Like, yeah, I

(48:35):
like you, but there's gonna bea note for me, sir. So
it was fine. He was respectful. Nothing went beyond that. And then
the guy ghosts me. He likeghosts me, and I'm not really hard.
I'm like, dang, that sucks, but I'm not heartbroken because he
didn't get anything over on me likeI was. More so like, yeah,

(48:55):
I kind of even though I amobsessed and love you, Patrick,
I don't want to do that.I don't feel comfortable with it. And
I also feel like you kind ofjust wanted me for that and I'm happy
that we are not there. Sohe totally ghosts me. It's fine.
He's not even working at catering soI don't even see him much. I
don't even know if I've saw hima lot even after that. But I'm

(49:16):
really proud that I stuck to myguns and I was just like, yeah,
absolutely not. So that was Patrickat the catering company. And then
I worked at Pasta Pelican, rightthe restaurant in Alameda, California, which
I will ride and die for.The best restaurant in California is Pasta Pelican.

(49:36):
So when I worked at Pasta Pelican, there is this person who worked
through with me. Gore just gorgeousand the sweetest person in the whole world,
like so nice. Everybody loved him. He was hilarious, he was
fun. We would flirt a littlebit, but okay, I was twenty,
I was eighteen, he was twentyone. She must have been like

(49:59):
twenty one or twenty two. Sohe was always cautious of flirting with me
because he was a little older,and he didn't want to cross any weird
boundaries at work, so he keptit professional. Honestly, I was the
one that was a little aggressive.There was a crevice under the stairs at
Pasta Pelican that I would always tellhim, like, we need to make

(50:20):
out under the stairs. It's likethe Harry Potter stairs. And he'd be
like, ill grows no, no. But then time went on, right,
I was getting older, he wasgetting older or still working at Pasta
Pelican, and like I think hethought it was a little more okay for
us to kind of be more flirty. And then he left Pasta Pelican to
go pursue his dreams. And hewould still HiTV me up, just be

(50:44):
like, hey, how you doing, miss you miss the Pelican, Like
well, blow, we need tolink up, We need to link up.
And one day we did link up. We definitely linked up, but
I was still going through my toxicstuff with my ex and he I think
was also dating too, and thenreally quickly after he got pregnant. So
he got pregnant and so happy forthem, like amazing, and I feel

(51:10):
like, I don't know what happened, but even after the pregnancy, he
was kind of hitting me up.I think he was kind of down bad,
and I think that they were brokenup, so I was kind of
contemplating like going back to him,but I just also I just felt like
that was gonna be bad juji onmy part because I didn't exactly know the

(51:31):
details of what was going on.So I'm happy that I didn't. Still
a king, like great guy andamazing, cute little munchkin. Haven't heard
from him, don't talk to him. But other than that, those are
the only like hot guys that I'veever worked with, and nothing even had

(51:52):
like I never actually even dated anyof them. At the radio station,
I always made it a very clearrule that I would never get with anyone
at work, especially anyone in myindustry. And trust us, all ladies
in any workplace, they have tried, they have gotten denied on my end

(52:13):
because I never want nobody at noneof my jobs to say, oh,
Crystal got ahead because of this,or Crystal did this. It's a very
unfortunate double standard, but it isa saying. And there was like one
hot DJ, well he would nevergive me the time of day. So
even that, like even him,like absolutely not. Other than that,
there was no other like crazy hotI mean here at work, there still

(52:37):
isn't really any hot guys at allthat I work with. I mean radio,
We're not known to be the mostattractive looking people, so let's say,
let's say that. But other thanthose two guys, there's really no
other hot co worker stories that Ihave. Do you have any juicy hot
coworker stories? Please let me knowon Snapchat. I'm at La Carstal Rural

or to modify. You can simplyenjoy without having to impress yourself for
anyone else. You can simply enjoy. Oh, I love this. Let
go and enjoy the sound of watertumbling over the rocks. Delight in the
experience of children playing as they willwithout being coached or coddled or scolded.

in a state of peace. Ifeel like sometimes we're so busy and so
stressed with life and what we haveto do next, that we forget to,
like, actually enjoy what we havegoing on. I feel that way.
