Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, for the first time since I don't know
August or September of twenty twenty four, camustaa kayo, Hello everyone,
what's up everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
My name is Nico.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Blitz and I'm Jackie MRI.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
And Mexicpino Podcast is back in commission. Ladies and gentlemen,
we are here. We're alive. You're here, and you're alive.
If you're listening to this, thank you so much for listening.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, thanks for coming back. We know we've been on
a hiatus, but life has just been life in and
yeahs the motto. That's literally what all I could say.
Like this life has been life in in the best
ways possible.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, in so many different ways possible.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
I mean, I think just twenty twenty four in general
was super busy, and Jackie and I were just trying
to get our lives together, amongst other things that we
will be getting into later in this podcast. But you know,
we're here and we're happy, and we have a lot
to update you guys on and a lot of topics
to talk about now.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, so, like we have a lot of updates to
give you guys about our personal lives, about Mexicpino about
you know how the end of the year went last
year for Mexicpino. I mean we had back to back
food fest we had and those food fests were in
like Sacramento, San Diego, so those were literally quite insane

(01:20):
in the best way.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
I mean, he gets tiring doing all the food in.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
A great way, and you know, just trying to see
where the direction of Mexicpino was going to go this year,
the direction of our personal lives, of our relationship. And yeah, yeah,
we went on a cruise. We went like a cruise
again for work. I think the last time we talked
about a cruise was the last Disney cruse that we

(01:47):
went on.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Explain like the whole like gist of like what the
cruise was.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, so the Disney cruise that we get sent on
for work because I work in radio. Basically Disney will
send us on a cruise. And their newest cruise line
is the Disney Treasure. Amazing, it is beautiful. It is
literally like a whole different world on a boat. And

(02:14):
this sailing that we went on wasn't even like an
official sailing. It was one of the inaugural sailings, so
I think they had only sailed. Maybe this was our
the second time they sailed. The one that we went
on was the second time.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, it was the second time for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
And that's why I Initially I was just like, well,
you know, it's Disney, so it's going to be good.
But once they threw and like, yo, this is going
to be the second sail, I was like ooh okay,
Like like are you sure? Are you absolutely sure?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
This is okay?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah. So Disney sent us on the sailing, and what
we do on the actual boat is we broadcast from there,
and so that way we get to experience it, because
eventually on radio, we're going to be giving away the
trip for the crew, and so we want listeners to
know like, hey, we've experienced this. We're not just sending

(03:05):
you and like bsing around about what goes on. So
on the cruise with the destination was Castaway Key in
the Bahamas. We sailed out of Florida, and Castaway Key
is Disney's private island, which I had no idea that
doesn't even had a private.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Island, I know, I mean, I mean at this point,
Disney owns damn near everything.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, and they don't occupy the entire island. They only
inhabit like a portion of the island.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, like imagine like you know, Squid Game two island,
but like kind of on like the the you know,
the side the coast, you know what.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
I mean, literally just a portion of that island. But
they own the whole island. But it is beautiful. It's
a private island and.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
That's yeah, I mean, that's how that's how this whole
podcast started and we've been wanting to talk about this
with you guys. Also on the private island well and
the trip in general, Jackie also did invite her parents
that was also like paired as like their Christmas gifts.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yes, I got to take my parents on one of
my very first work trips and that was really cool
just to experience them living their life too. Yeah, because
I forget that, you know, my parents are living their
life for the first time.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well you know, they they basically had you and your
brother Jacob when they were a little you know, a
little bit on the younger side. Yeah, it's cool to
see them as I mean, not that hours around when
you know what I mean, but like it's cool to
see them like as adults just do the things that
they never thought they would be doing because they quote
unquote didn't necessarily get the chance to when they were younger.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah. I think my mom had me when she was
twenty five and I was the last one, so like yeah, yeah,
and so four years before that she had my brother
four and a half years yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Oh so yeah, she was like twenty one then.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Wh Yeah. So I mean they're living their lives for
the first time. My parents have been traveling and they
had such an amazing time.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Because well basically long story short, and before we get
into the long story, we are engaged.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
We're engaged.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
I mean for everybody second focus. Oh yeah, it is amazing.
Everybody who's following our social media platforms you already know,
but you know, we wanted to officially say this on
the podcast. We're officially engaged. Long time coming. It's coming
up on five years now.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, we well, like our relationship.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Relationship, we're coming up engaged.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Now for a little over a month. Yes, Yeah. Nico
proposed on the Private island and I literally could not
have picked a better ring. I like, I didn't even
pick this ring. That's what a lot of people think.
I think when they see the ring, it's like, oh
my god, did you pick it? And I had no
idea that that was a thing like picking a ring,

(05:46):
your engagement ring. And I always tell people I'm like no,
like Nko just kind of knew what the shape I
wanted and ran with it, like yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I mean, honestly, fellas, let me give you a tip.
Or even ladies, you know whoever you are going to
engage to, right, let me give you a quick tip.
Listen to your partner right and make sure you know
exactly what they want. In this case, Jackie wanted like
a tear drop or a pear shape. And you know,
I was conversing with a whole bunch of my people
and whatnot on how.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
To get the right ring.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Get the lab, diamonds, man, get the freaking lab.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I don't think I'm supposed to know that, babe.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
It says on the certificate.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
But like, also like I think that also like begs
a question too, like one, should you pick your own
engagement ring? And two should you ask how much your
engagement ring costs?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
And I don't want to know. I don't want to know.
I don't want to know.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Okay, Okay, Well I'll put it to you this way, right,
I don't think that, you know, I mean, you can
have an idea of what the engagement ring is, but like,
let's say your partner is kind of just like, eh,
you know, maybe a little.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Tight on money. I don't think you should be the
one picking.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I think the partner should always the partner who is
proposing should always keep in mind what you want, but
still pick the one that they want for you.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah. Well, I've always heard that, Like there's some people
that I know and that like I have just I've
seen on the internet saying like, yeah, I picked my
engagement ring, okay, And I'm just like I never really
knew if that was like the traditional thing or that
just happened for that particular couple.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
You know, I wouldn't know either. This is the first
time I proposed, Yeah, but for.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Me, obviously it was the first time I goten proposed to.
But like, yeah, for me, it's just I gave you
the ideas. I sent you videos, countless videos. Yeah, but
you ran with it. And this is my ring. Yeah,
it's beautiful. It's literally stunning and blings like crazy.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
And I think part two of your question, right, like
should you ask, Yeah, like should you ask how much
you paid for or your partner paid for for the
engagement ring.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
I don't know. I feel like the first like of
many thoughts that came to my mind when you proposed
to me was like, oh my god, this is like
a freaking rock that I have on my finger, Like
how much did this cost? Because I was like worried, like,
oh my god, I hope like he didn't break the bank,
like you know this and that, but like I know

(08:22):
I shouldn't ask that, but I feel like I don't know.
A lot of people may know how much their engagement
rings cost or their wedding bands or whatever. I feel
like a lot of people know that, okay, but I
don't want yeah, yeah, but I also don't know if
it's rude, Like.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Well, all I'm saying is if you really want to
get something nice for a little bit of an inexpensive
more cost, you get the lab diamond because it You know,
when I was engagement ring shopping, I literally saw smaller
rocks that were real diamonds, but they were way more expensive,

(09:01):
and I'm like, oh, this don't make no sense, man,
Like give me the bigger rock. It's a lab diamond,
you know, what I mean, which is still a diamond. Yeah,
and it's bigger.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Come on, man, bro, I don't care. Do you see this? Like,
I'll be honest, I don't even know the difference, so
it's cool.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
And on top of that, we live in the United States,
so you know what I mean, Like I might have
just paid like four months rent.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
I'm freaking sick. That's crazy now, me trying to do
the math, man.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
But you know, like I think it's a it's a
beautiful thing leading up to the actual like proposal and engagement.
Because Jackie had told me about this trip to the Bahamas,
probably like summer twenty twenty four, and she also suggested
to bring her parents, which I was absolutely fine with.
So I started plotting as a man.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I started plotting.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
You started plotting in the summer.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, I started plotting. I started throwing a lot of misdirection,
like yeah, you know, like I think it's gonna be
like mid twenty twenty five when I'll do it or
something like that. I was throwing you a lot of
you are you like that's the thing?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Like I was. I wasn't expecting it until like we
were on the trip, and even then, I didn't have
like super high expectations because we were like, hey, you
didn't like no, no, no, not like that, Like you didn't
have like I didn't have the expectation like okay, like
it's gonna happen this trip. I was just like, it

(10:31):
may happen on this trip, but if it doesn't, it's fine. Yeah,
because you were Nico was like telling me like, oh yeah,
like I'm thinking by mid next year, like I'll propose,
and I was just like okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
And so you know, leading up, I ended up getting
the Uh, I ended up getting the ring. And let
me tell y'all, in very much Nico Blitz fashion, like,
what had happened. So the thing was before I got
the ring, or rather after I got the ring, and
after we got on the boat to the Bahamas, I

(11:04):
had not even asked Jackie's parents for her hand in marriage.
I had not asked her dad, I had not asked
her mom for permission for her hand in marriage. And
so literally what had happened was Jackie was working on
the ship doing her radio stuff. Meanwhile her parents and
myself were unpacking our luggage, and I was just like.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Uh, hey Auntie, hey uncle, do you mind if I
talk to you guys really quick and then they're like, yeah, sure,
and I was like, yeah, I kind of wanted to
show you guys something, and you know, like I showed
them the ring and then literally your mom started crying
like right off the bat, and I'd asked for permission,
and then your dad was like we've been waiting for

(11:49):
this moment, so yes, absolutely, And I was like, oh,
thank god.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
So you didn't really even ask They just said yeah sure.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
They just said yeah sure, And the thing was in
my brain, I was like, you know, so it's kind
of perfect if I asked them on this shit, because
you're either for the relationship or you're gonna be off
the ship. You know, that's literally insane.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
But I feel like like I don't even still know,
like what the conversation was after, like you had asked
my parents, like if there even was a conversation, Like.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I mean not really. We were all just happy.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
They were happy, and they were just like, hey, like,
so when do you plan on doing it, like, you know,
during this trip. And I was like, I'm gonna be honest,
I don't know. I just know that we have time
to be on the beach in the Bahamas a little bit,
you know, in a couple of days, so probably over
there they're like, all right, cool. The funny thing was that,
you know, I was hiding a freaking rock a ring

(12:49):
in my bag, in multiple of my bags, and her
parents knew at this time as well, and apparently like
myself and her parents were acting weird in the eyes
of Jackie.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah, like I feel like the entire trip because you
know what like tip me off. First what there was
a few things that tipped me off, But then I
was just like maybe not like okay, because when we
first were gonna board the boat, it was Nico's grandparents'
anniversary and you had called them and you never like

(13:26):
go away for phone calls. You never go away for
phone calls, and you're like and then I was just like, okay,
like let me say congrass to your grandparents, and you're like, oh,
hold on, hold on, hold on. And then you were
like talking to your grandpa and then I can hear you,
like not yelling at your grandpa, but talking really loud,
and I was just like that's weird, Like okay, like whatever,

(13:49):
So then I was just like maybe and then I
was just like I don't know, So then I was
just like, okay, I'm probably in my head, I'm looking
too deep into things. And then it was just kind
of stagnant after that, so I was like, Okay, that's
probably not gonna happen. And then there was another point
in the trip where we were talking about like I

(14:15):
think we were just talking about. I forgot what we
were talking about, but you had basically kind of like
insinuated like okay, like like little does she know like
type stuff, and.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'm just like, yeah, I remember that moment. I forgot
what it was, but I do remember that feeling.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
And then I was just like what, like okay, But
then after that you started acting like hello, weird and
my parents weren't like really like my parents also lived
to like chiet men like chees med, so like I
know when they want to say something, and they didn't

(14:51):
have that look on their face, but they were acting
really weird. So I was just like, what's going on?
And then I was just like, well, if he was
gonna do it, like, I don't think he's gonna do
it anymore, because it like you just stopped making references
and I was just like okay, Like what the fuck
is going on? Like I don't know, and eventually like yeah.

(15:14):
And then when it was about to happen, when you
were about to propose, you were on FaceTime with your family.
And it's not weird that you would FaceTime your family
while we were on vacation, because you we both FaceTime
our families to show them the views that we're looking
at or whatever. But you kept on like just having
them on the phone and you were pointing the camera down.
I was like, if you're gonna be on FaceTime with

(15:35):
your family, at least show him the.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
View, like and mind you were. You know, we're in
the Bahamas, We're in the east coast, so we were
three hours ahead. So I did this at eleven o'clock
in the morning Eastern time, maybe even closer to ten,
so it was about like seven or eight o'clock in
the morning, after my family had gotten drunk on the
west coast.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah. Yeah, So and then Nico proposed, and then people
were around like clapping, celebrating. There was a lifeguard that
was in the middle of the freaking ocean that was clapping,
and then later on that same lifeguard like came up
to you. It was just like I knew that something
was happening.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Something was happening. What also happened too, like during the
proposal is that you know, Jackie ended up looking like
through some binoculars to look at the ocean and whatnot,
and then she told her dad to like look through,
and then she told me to look through, and I
was like, oh, this is perfect. So after I looked through,

(16:33):
I told her to look through the binoculars again, and
that's when I actually like knelt down and like presented
the ring. And the funny thing about this presentation was
that as soon as she saw me, she took like
two steps back, and I was like, bro, like you like,
where are you going? You're not supposed to take two

(16:53):
steps back?

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah, I immediately just started crying and then I started laughing.
And then I said, at one point during the pool,
so I was like, I don't know if I should
cry or laugh, like, because seeing Nico so like vulnerable
and serious, like it's just funny sometimes because like he's
not a serious person and he didn't really have a

(17:15):
speech or anything when he was like proposing, and I
like when he asked if I would marry him, I
was like trying to get yes, out of my mouth
like verbally, but I couldn't because I knew the minute
like I gassed for air, I was going to like
lose my shit, like I was going to start crying

(17:37):
and bawling.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So I just nodded.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
I was like like yeah, like yeah, and then yeah,
and then after like after the proposal, it was literally
like I like, I just felt like I wanted to
pass out. I was like, oh my god, I think
I was holding my breath for too long. That's why
I was holding my breath for too long. And I
was like about the past, I was like getting dizzy.

(18:01):
I was like, oh my god, I'm going to pass out,
and no one was taking me seriously. I don't think
you guys heard me, or if I don't know if
I wasn't saying it, but I know I said it.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
At one point I didn't hear you.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
I was like, I think I'm going to pass out.
I think I'm going to pass out, and no one
was like like.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Crazy, that's crew. I actually did not hear you one
bit saying you were going to pass out.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah, No, I know, my I think my mom heard me,
or my mom's like she's like, oh my god, Jack,
I was like, no, I think I'm gonna pass. But
it was beautiful, and I mean, my parents were so happy.
Our families were on FaceTime, like our immediate families, and
then we ended up telling the rest of our families
and yeah, facetimed a few close friends. It was beautiful.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
I think the crazy, like one of the crazy face
times was that, you know, we ended up facetiming our homie,
bootleg keV, who and you know, I facetimed him because
he kind of directed me toward where to get the
right ring, and so we face timed him and then
he was like, congrats, Nico, you finally fucking did it.
And I was like, thank you, bro. And I was like, hey,

(19:06):
by the way, Jackie's parents are in this exact same
room that we're talking in.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Right now, because Bulke keV is known for just being so.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Explicit, extremely explicit, to the point to where he said, oh, well,
if Jackie's parents are staying in the room with you,
where you guys supposed to have like post engagement sex,
And I.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Was just like, thank you so much, Kevin, thank you.
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
This is why I told you that's.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Not the time or the place, but vin Yeah, it
was just insane. It was beautiful. It's more than I
could have asked for. And now we're gonna plan a wedding.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah, now we're planning our wedding. And I mean, I'm
gonna be honest, I've I've DJed so many weddings to
a point, and Jackie's been to a couple of weddings
as well. There's a lot of like I guess, like
not hard dos and don'ts per se, but like just
things that we wouldn't want for our wedding.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Yeah. I feel like when it comes to a lot
of things that like are in our eyes necessary and
not necessary. It varies per couple, varies per like family.
I think for us, I definitely don't want kids that

(20:31):
our wedding. I want a kids free wedding other than
immediate family only. And when I say that, I mean literally,
there's only like five six kids that I have in
my head right now.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, I mean two nieces, two nephews.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
And one more on the way that's really not ours.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
But no, no, no, actually no, it's two nieces, two nephews,
and two little cousins.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Something like that.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, something like that. Yeah, yeah, we'll give the hard answer.
Do kids belong to weddings?

Speaker 3 (21:05):
I don't think so. The you know what pisses me
off is when I see like these viral videos of
kids like fucking up a first dance at a wedding
and these kids are not even like dressed nice either.
They're like in jeans and like like a regular graphic

(21:26):
T shirt. And I'm just like, this little shit needs
to get off this the fucking dance floor like before.
Like that's why I don't want kids at my wedding. Like, Okay,
I see, like it has the potential to go so wrong.
And there's like so many guests and horror stories that
I've like heard from about weddings where it's like everyone

(21:51):
thinks that their kid is the exception, and it's not.
Your kid is probably the reason that we're having a
kid's free wedding, Like anyone who thinks that their kid
is an exception is the reason that people are having
kids free like events.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, I mean, I'll just say like this, like I
think that if a bride and groom like establishes like
there are absolutely no kids at this wedding, like just.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Just don't bring them, you know.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, just like just don't bring them.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
They just respect it. Like they the bride and the
groom have spent so much time, energy, money, and thought
into their day to make it about you.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, I get that. I get that. I get that.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
So the least you could do is just respect their wishes.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, and at least for me too, Like I would say,
like I wouldn't want kids in my wedding, not because
I don't like kids, but because, like you know, I
feel like as a gift to uh, you know, everybody
who's also attending, it's like, hey, you know, you could
kind of be like stress free, like from your kid
low key for the next like five six hours, you

(22:57):
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
And I don't get me wrong. I understand that childcare
is expensive. I understand that not everyone may have access
to childcare, but at that point, it's like, I mean,
if you can't make it, you can't make it.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Like amen, you.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Know, like sorry, but that's really what it is. And
I think there's a lot of the there's a lot
of things that you and I are both going to
kind of agree and disagree on when it comes to
what we do want for our wedding and what we
don't like guest list, and I feel like guestless is

(23:30):
the main thing that people will argue about.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Man, guestless is the number one thing people fight over
based off of how many people close to us say that.
That is difficult because you got to think about it, Like,
when it comes to a wedding guest list, there is
obviously the immediate family members.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Which in Mexican and Filipino like families, it's obviously like
it's automatic, like one hundred people.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, like you're literally you like, if you're Mexican or Filipino,
you're spending so much much money on a wedding just
because you have a fat guest list.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah. Yeah, Like I think for there's already rules that
I've made, uh that Nico agrees with for our guest
list for our wedding, and there may be like one
or two that he doesn't agree with. But like for
me personally, I think the way to cut down on
guest list is if we haven't talked to you in

(24:25):
over a year, Hm, you're out. If you they've never
met either one of us, you're not in. If like
you've doubted or like not respected either one of us,
you're out. In my eyes. And I think that's the
one where you're kind of like, ah, maybe.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Not what.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh okay, I was just like because I haven't brought
that one up to you.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
I've never yeah, I mean I've never said that, Okay.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
But like I think those are like the general like
rules of the I think when it comes to like
wedding guest list.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, Like for example, like if my homie like just
got like, you know, a girl or whatever, oh, and
I don't know her.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I don't know, know, man, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
I don't know how to go about that like plus
ones at a wedding. Like I feel like it's just
so weird because we have obviously a year a little
over a lot over a year of wedding planning and
to get our guestless situated, and I don't know how
to go about like friends getting into relationships yeah, while

(25:36):
wedding planning, and if we should even invite those new
significant others of friends.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
I think if there's like absolute space at the end,
that is kind of okay, Like after you've gone through
the rounds of like elimination, elimination, elimination, and then there
just so happens to be a spot. Yeah, and then
your homiees like yo, Like, I'm gonna be honest. You know,
I'm with this person. It's like all right, cool, like
you know, but like I wouldn't put them on the
priority list of like no, we need to get them

(26:02):
in here.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Yeah, Like honestly, if ore, like any one of our friends,
like gets into a relationship maybe like six or seven
months prior to our wedding, I'm gonna be like, nah.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, Johnny Maxwell, you need to get somebody right now.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Then you know, I'm gonna like I'm gonna be like, yeah, sorry,
I don't I can't really get to know someone well
enough to invite them to my wedding six or seven
months prior.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Yeah, no, I get that.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
That that absolutely makes sense to me. And I'm gonna
be honest, like I think even when it comes to
like distant relatives and something like that, like you know
what I mean, like your aunties, like like your aunties
like cousin or like friend, it's kind of like, eh,
I don't know, man, Like, yeah, I don't have believe me.
If I could invite everybody, I.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Would, Yeah, if we could just know, if we could
say like hey, pull up, yeah, we would, Yeah, we would,
but we can't, and like it's gonna be very difficult,
And I just I worry about You probably don't because
you really don't care about what anybody thinks. But I
worry about like people's feelings getting hurt. Like I know,

(27:16):
but a lot. I know, we're close to a lot
of people, and if people don't make that guest list,
I feel really bad.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I just feel like if you are actually very close
to me or us, right, then your feelings would not
get hurt because you understand that there's a limited amount
of space. Yea, And if you think we're as close
as you think, but we're not, then there's absolutely no

(27:44):
way your feelings could get hurt at that point.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
That you know what I mean, It's actually very very true.
Yeah yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
You know, invite some coworkers and whatnot. We are absolutely chilling, man.
But you know, I think, going back to what Jackie
was saying, there's like a couple things that I do
want to do that actually have to do with the
Mexican Mexican tradition when it comes to weddings.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
You know what's crazy is that, Yeah, Nico like has
been fighting for this very very hard. And he's not
even the Mexican in this relationship, but.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
I want to be at this point.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Man.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
But he wants to do this specific thing for our
wedding so bad. And that's the Martito and the kulebra,
the snake thing that that was, like it's an old
school tradition. I think it's an old school.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Tradition, but it's so cool.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
I think it's so cool, and I don't want to
do it, but I've said yes that on several conditions.
I've said yes to it.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Welly wan't you explain what they are first?

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Okay, So Martito is basically means like the dead man,
so based yeah, like it's like your death. So basically
what they what we do in Mexican way is the
groom will kind of just lay flat, and I think
it's either his grooms party, like the groom party, the

(29:10):
groomsman and maybe other guests at the wedding too. They
will lift him up like they're carrying him in a coffin,
and they basically toss him up and they just like
carry around on a coffin. And it's mostly though, because
he's basically a dead man, because he's married, only married. Yeah,
he's married and his life old apparently. And then the

(29:32):
the I think it's called the kubra, which is the snake. Basically,
we are held together, You and I are holding each
other and like kind of like a bridge and people
are going through and trying to break our bridge, and
it's supposed to symbolize how strong our bond and our
relationship is and how strong our marriage will be. And yeah,

(29:55):
so I personally, I know that my on in, my uncle,
they had that at their wedding and they've been married
for I don't know how long, but they've been married
for over twenty one years. I know that.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Cure, so it makes sense.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
But I see as an old school tradition. And it's
crazy to me that my Filipino fiance wants to do
this Mexican tradition at my wedding because already.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Because I had seen it at like this actually it
was a Filipino Mexican wedding, and I was like, yo,
this is kind of popping, Like yeah, I just want things.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
I really honestly didn't know that it was still a thing.
I didn't know that it was still a thing because
a lot of the Mexican weddings that I've been to
as of late haven't had that. And the only one
that I remember having that was like twenty one years ago.
And I was what five, I.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Was about to say, how do you remember a wedding
from like twenty one years ago?

Speaker 3 (30:55):
Well, my mom told me that that's what I did,
so that's cool. Yeah. So I was like, that's what
he wants to do. But the Filipino tradition that like,
also I'm definitely okay with and that Nico definitely wants
to do is wearing barngs.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah. I mean, you know, I've I've just been to
a wedding in the actual Philippines and you know there
was like a whole church ceremony and whatnot like it.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know, it took a long time.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
It took a very long time, which is absolutely fine,
not necessarily my thing. Let me just put that out there.
And you know, like in the Philippines, it was like
a whole celebration. It was like literally slaughtering a pig
like right in front of me.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I will never forget that. Oh yeah. I was just like, yeo,
like this is kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, Like they literally like.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Was that like the food.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Yeah yeah, and then they made let shown would that
same pig like in the ground it Yes, I'm telling you,
like traditional, I.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Was a bride, like be so far away from like
I don't want to ruin my dress.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Like no, yeah, it was. It was crazy, but that's
like you know, if you're getting married in the Philippines
type stuff. All I remember in addition to that was
that you know, everyone was dressed up in a barong,
and like I had always envisioned like since that moment,
like you know, like when I end up getting married,
I do want to wear a baron because you know,
it's fly, it's loose, you know what I mean, Like

(32:26):
you can actually like feel the air go through your
armpits and whatnot, Like you can breathe in a baron.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
And like it feel like it's such like a stressful
day that you want to feel like you want to
feel like you can breathe and not bust out. But
like I yeah, I mean I really like how burrongs look.
I've been to now a Filipino wedding of f you
Philipino Filipino weddings, Yeah, yeah, and I just like how
it looks. It still looks very elegant. I do want

(32:53):
Nico to be the only one I wearing a cream
colored or white colored barone, yeah, which I know is
probably gonna be harder for guests because like I think
it's harder to find colored barongs. I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
I mean, I don't know bongs everywhere not Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
But like like there's there's so many also like little
things too. I'm not trying to be a bridezilla. I
really am not, and it sounds like I am, but
I'm not. Like, I just have these very simple rules
that I think guests should follow.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
But for any wedding, for any wedding, like any cream ivory,
like obviously white colors. If you're not the bride or
if you haven't been assigned that color, don't wear it, gotcha.
Like I've made it a decision in my mind that
if I see anybody who isn't me or people that

(33:52):
we've already designated to wear certain colors that are close
to white, they're getting like like, yo, you gotta go change.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
So we're separating people by colors now, huh, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
This is literally wedding as higher. I'm literally talking about
wedding but like I've like, I've seen so many videos
and like stories about brides that like there's always that
one person.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Again, respect what the bride and groom wants.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
That's yeah, and literally, like I am, I will be
so quick to be like can you get them out?
Like I literally do not care who you are. I
don't care how close you are to me, to my husband,
I don't care. Like you're out go change They're like.
I will literally have four black dresses in like different

(34:49):
sizes and be like here, you can go change in
the bathroom for all I fucking care. Yeah, pick one,
don't wear white at my wedding. Don't wear white, don't
wear cream, don't wear ivory. I will literally kick you
out of my wedding.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Now, what I do want at the wedding is definitely
some absolutely good music. Man. I just need some good music.
That's all I want. There's no I actually want to
DJ my wedding.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
No, okay, so my god.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Think about it. Literally, she it's free. I'm not going
to pay myself.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
No, you're not going to dj our entire wedding. I
have literally allocated fifteen minutes at most max for Anico
to dj at our wedding, and that is it. It
is a very strict fifteen minute because do you think
I want to spend my wedding day away from my husband?

Speaker 1 (35:33):
No, you can be to me.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Nope, answer answer, no question. Do you think I want
to spend my wedding day away from my husband? Well,
I'm making rounds talking to people and taking pictures and dancing.
Do you think I want to be away from my husband?

Speaker 4 (35:50):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (35:51):
No?

Speaker 3 (35:51):
But no, but the it's just a yes or O.
Would you want to be away from your wife on
your wedding?

Speaker 1 (36:01):
So if I DJ, then you're right next to me.
We're good.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Really not even the point. But it's crazy though, because
I feel like we are very much open, uh like
two different genres of music. But I have told Nico
straight up that there will be absolutely zero zero zero
zero zero EDM at our wedding.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Shout out to my guys Schulman, gun Isa, Vincent and
DJ Kise.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
It looks like you're not DJing the wedding.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
It looks like you're just gonna be enjoying. I really
appreciate you guys, and I love you guys. But no, no, EDM.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah, but you know the cool thing. The cool thing though,
because I have DJ's specifically Mexicpino weddings, is that the
music is extremely similar, right, So like for Filipino weddings,
like the playlist looks like and then for Mexican weddings
it looks like Swabi Mine, and then both of those

(36:57):
songs kind of have like the same sound, the same feelings.
So there's like a portion where like the two cultures
like blend in that sense. Yeah, and they're both traditionally
like of their own cultures, if that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Yeah, Like, I feel like there's gonna be so much
similarities in the way that we party. I feel like
it's gonna be very different but super similar because if
you think about it, not only are we blending two cultures,
we're also blending two different cities.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Oh yeah, like blending in the Bay Area music in
the LA music.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yeah, that's gonna be fun.

Speaker 3 (37:38):
We're blending in Spanish music, We're blending in Filipino music.
We're blending in like Bay Area music. We're blending in
LA music. We're blending in freestyle. We're blending in like oldies,
We're blending in like Hella different. Like we're blending in
Ranchetto's we're blending in Gumbia like it's gonna be a

(38:00):
plethora of music for our wedding. That it's literally going
to be insane.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Man, good luck to the DJ that we end up
booking for real?

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Should I just head up? Should I head up? Nico Blitz?

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Now, no, babe, no, Can you just imagine this is
the last?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
Can you just imagine djaying your.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Own wedding be popping?

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Okay, never mind.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Anyways, we're gonna talk about kids and post marriage right now.
If we get to post marriage at this point, yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Right, I mean it's gonna be like the last, the
last topic for today.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
But a lot of people once we got engaged automatically
started saying, well what about kids?

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Just backed just like we're literally.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
We just got engaged a month ago. So let's back
it up, Terry, and you know, let's let's process this.
I like, Nico very much wants to be a parent
like now, okay, I.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Joke around, Nay, I joke around. I definitely joke around.
Should we mention what happened?

Speaker 3 (39:20):
No? Okay, so Nico, but no, Nico very much wants
to be like a dad like asap and I want
to be a mom too.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Well I'm about to be thirty two as well, just
putting that out there.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
I want to be a mom, uh not a sap.
I want to enjoy our wedding in our marriage first.
I did say though, like Nigo when we first started
dating or a little few years into our relationship, he
did tell me, like, you know, I do want to
be a dad by the time I'm thirty five. Yeah,

(39:54):
And I was just like.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Okay, which we're on track.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
That's cool. Yeah. And I also like hearing that though
as like a twenty two year old.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
I was like, okay, okay, but I was twenty six
at the time, so that's like nine years.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Yeah, but like look how fast those nine years are
like about to like come you get me?

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Like yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
So I was talking to him and we were just
kind of like, you know what, maybe like a year
after our wedding is when I think is a good
time to have kids. Like I wouldn't want to start
right away. I wouldn't like I would want to enjoy
our like our our marriage first.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Hey man, all I'm saying is clock's ticking clogg isik
is ticket bro Not for me? I'bsolutely young.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
I am still very much. I am only twenty six.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
He look, he look.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
This is all I'm saying. You get married, you do
your honeymoon, boom, nine months later you get to go.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Okay, this isn't like the nineteen like seventies, where it's
like you gotta like conceive at the honeymoon. Like that's crazy,
that's not happening.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
That's not a thing anymore, not for me.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Amen. Well, I guess it.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Tell who's the older one in this relationship? That's all
I get.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Well, I guess it ain't the nineteen seventies because then
people ain't popping out babies when they're like eighteen years old.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Yeah, so like I mean people are Nigo, Like, I
don't know how, like yeah, when is the best time
to have kids? After you get married? Like how soon
after you know?

Speaker 1 (41:31):
I'll give you, I'll give I'll give it the year.
I'll give it the year to kind of just like okay, yeah,
we're enjoying life.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
We're enjoying life. Whatever happens.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
I travel, travel, float around.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
So I think that's what it is. I have a
feeling Nego is gonna want to be a dad so
much sooner though, and like Nego very much is a
girl dad. He wants to be a girl dad so bad.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
Oh yeah, And I am.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Terrified of having a girl just because of my attitude
and I don't want.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Yeah see, then Jackie's gonna end up looking in the
mirror and being like, fuck, this is what Nico gotta
deal with every day.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Shit that is literally quite insane. That is literally quite insane. No, Like,
I just know that every mom who has a daughter
always says like like not that this is my karma,
but like like, oh, like that was me, and like

(42:35):
always has this like thing that like is just like
that's how I was and now it's coming back to
bite me in the ass. And I just know that
that's gonna happen to me. I wish I was a
better person. I wish I was a better person growing up.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
I'm just like this little shit is acting how I
was acting.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Little shit, like I know all your trade.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
There's a question that you asked me the other day
about kids, like would you rather.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Have a no, No, I'm not saying that. I answer,
would you have to have a gay center? A thought daughter?
That one? Yeah, So whould you have mister girl?

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Dad. I'm gonna be honest, I'd rather have a gay son.
You know what I'm saying, Because first of all, I
once when all boys high school, so you know, gay
jokes fly, that's cool, you know what I mean. But
if I have a gay son, that means it's like cool,
Like yeah, I'm an ally. Like I'm already an ally,

(43:47):
but then having a gay son, it's like, yeah, I'm
even more of an ally. Now I can make fun
of him and he's not he can't be mad.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Oh my god, You're like, I still support you. You're like,
I still support you.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
I support you. I support you by making fun of
you and showing that because that's how I me as
a human being, my own person, That's how I show
my affection. I like to make fun of you. I
like to make fun of people in general.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Yeah, he makes fun of me all the time. He does.
He truly does.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Him into that.

Speaker 1 (44:17):

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
