Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hey, guys, welcome to another episode of TMI with Mikayla,
and today I have two very special people in no room.
So you has already seen Virausy last time, but we
have another guest in the room. Can be up for Rocky?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yes, Oh that's really loud. So Rocky is one of
the beauty queens that I was also mentoring back in
like what two three years ago? Yeah, that's when we
first met. And anyways, I just had my ground opening
and everybody met each other over there. So we're gonna
have some ATA talks. Okay. So for those who don't
(00:54):
know what ATA means, it's like older sister or like
older Yeah, like older sisters, right, but I'm not related
to any of them. So anyways, all right, you guys,
so we have these two today. They're gonna ask me
questions and I will give my best advice. So but
as do as I say, not as I do. Okay,
So all right ready, okay, I guess we could start
(01:17):
with Rocky. Okay, your first question, girl, first.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Question, what do you wish you had known when you
were my age?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Oh? What I wish I would have known? That's a
really good question. Would I will what would I wish?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What is the question? What? What?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What? Where?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Did it go?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Hold on? What do you wish you had known when
you were my age?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
More like financial resources? If I if I always say,
like if I had the same amount of money that
I had before, I wish I understood real estate more
and like everything I needed to do to prep for that,
because everybody always wants to invest, not invest, spend money
on things that they want. But investment is different from
the things you want because investment is like something that's
(02:06):
going to pay you out, pay you off later. And
I wish I knew more about real estate before because
I would have been more prepared. But now look at me.
So okay, all right, So that was a good question.
I want to ask that to you too. What is
something that you wish you knew before?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Something that before now? Yeah, Oh I do not know
because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
The question was for you for your mind. Okay, well
do you want to respond to that question? Sorry? What
was the question again? My gosh, what would you wish? Oh,
my gosh, what would have washed it?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Wash it?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
What would you wish that?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
What do you wish you had known? Well?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
For you, it's when you were my age.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So I guess what do you wish you had known now? No? What?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
What' something? Because I mean, okay, I don't believe in
like people are smart because of their age. I believe
that people are wise because of experiences. So maybe there's
something that you knew now that you wish that you
knew before. Oh okay. Well for me, for boxing, it's
probably eating well weight cuts, because if I knew there
(03:23):
was weightcuts, I probably would have been doing something else.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I'm not gonna lie because weightcuts is kind of a struggle.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Oh it's not fun. Oh it's not fun at all. Well,
you guys cannot box or something. So if you don't
make the way, you can't fight. So yeah, we'll get
what the system.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Like wrestling, when I did ju jitsu, I had I
literally like soaked. I was just I just sweated out
and I was there in like a full.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
On sweatsup until I gone on the map.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And then when I did wrestling, I don't I don't
know why, but when I did wrestling was a lot
harder for me to keep waiting, which is weird because
I had kept wait before or but it was a
lot harder, so I had to. I was bumping weig
classes so that I could actually go because like for
wrestling one, you're paying a lot of money and it's
the whole entire day for these events. So were there
(04:12):
at like seven o'clock to like eight o'clock.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Oh my gosh, you might be fun.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I had to book classes so that my mom was
alwaysting when he's sitting there watching me did noth thing.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
So I actually have a question. It's kind off topic
a little bit, but since you guys are both athletes,
and how do you guys feel about like other genders
competing with you in that same category or something?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Uh No, he said, okay, Well, because for me when
I did jiu jitsu, I was like training against the
guys and girls, like I bumped belts in like six
months because I was training like twice every single time
I went. So I would do the kids classes and
I would do adult classes. So I was like one
(04:58):
hundred pounds getting thrown around by like these really big.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Guys and it was a lot.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
But for volleyball, at a certain age, they make you
play against the guide teams during club volleyball because of like.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Development and whatever they I forgot.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But like because you know, that's why a lot of
people reclass too, is because puberty reasons or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Okay, yeah that makes sense. Actually, it's just like.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You would do better if you had more time in it,
I guess. But yeah, so it was not fun for
me because I had to go against guide teams.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Okay, so like that wasn't a good because.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It's fair and like, biology wise, guys.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Are just genetically stronger. Yeah yeah, okay, good response. You
you ever punched a girl?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I say no, because yeah, like like you said, biology wise,
guys are kind of like stronger but more more advanced.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But they can go for it. I mean, you get
knocked out, come on.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
But I mean if they could prove prove the guys wrong,
I mean, why not.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Let me tell you guys. Okay, so this is one
time I thought I would like I thought it was
so strong okay, and I was like so quacky, no bro,
So I was trying to like box this guy. Oh no,
I got knocked out. You don't understand. I got knocked out,
but okay, I got what I asked for. But anyways,
so that was thank you for your guys' answers because
I know that's like such a touchy topic as well.
(06:37):
So I'm like with the whole like them being stronger
thing too. When I was doing too, I had to
like maneuver and do different things because I couldn't overpower
them to get But did you feel proud? I felt yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I felt very proud because all the guys would like.
It was me and one other girl, my friend Jackie,
and we would constantly get in trouble because my coach
was like, why do you.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Guys keep going with each other?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Because none of the guys wanted to roll with us,
so we had no choice but to spar with each
other because no one else wanted to know, which I
felt very accomplished because.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I feel like if you go against even if I lose, okay,
and I went against the guy, I feel like, oh,
that was like pretty ballsy of me to do this.
I had a guy. I told my older brother because
my older brother did it too, and that's when I
was like twelve. But I have very like bony arm.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't have a lot of muscle. All my muscles
in my legs, I did a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Of They say that girls are stronger, yes in your
lower body than guys.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So when I did jiu jitsu, I sucked at takedowns,
which is also why I wasn't the greatest at wrestling
because the wrestling is like the complete.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Opposite of what I'm good at in jiu jitsu.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
But I had a guy one time and he went
to go I had just trained with him, and then
he we switched partners and he went with my older
brother and then he was like, man, that girl, like
I can't I can't submit her. I don't know, I
can't do anything, like she's kind of scared, like and
my brother was just like, oh, yeah, that's my sister.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He was like, really, how old is she?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He was like, she's like twelve.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
How do you feel about like guys, if you were
against a guy, how do you feel about them like
being a little easy on you because you're a girl.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I don't think anybody did that one, but I would
prefer not because then like it's easier for me to
figure out how to get out.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, I got you out of a situation.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Ye. So like during when I did jiu jitsu, some
of the things like it's more points, like if you
depending on where you are, so if like you're in
mount that's more points for competition. But if I was
going with a guy, I'm not strong enough. I can't
push them off from me or like flip us over
(08:49):
to get out of it. I legit would just like
try to lift as much weight as possible and slide
out underneath.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
All smart. I think it's just technique. I feel, especially
with jiu jitsu and wrestling, I feel like it's more
technique than anything. And then I feel like with boxing,
well I don't want to say the wrong thing. You
know the house all right? Oh, I feel like it's
also strength, but also like like fast, like speed, you
know what I'm saying, But that's also technique. It's a
little quick thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's the funny thing too, because when I did wrestling,
my coaches knew that I did jujitsu and she was like,
good job, you're doing great, like you're thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
But wrestling is just brute force.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So don't think. Just push and I was like, I
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't have muscle. Okay, well, these are really good questions,
all right, So that's question number one. Question number two,
your turn, I think fast, Sorry, you're good. What are
the most important lessons you've learned in life. Mmm, I
say these are also like regrets that I wish that
I could reduce stuff. I guess number one lesson that
(09:51):
I've learned was have to be in dating I would
always say or something. I feel like, this is something
that is always said, but I also feel like I
just I failed at doing so Basically they always say
like put God first. I failed at putting God first,
and I always I always end up in like really
bad situations in my love life because of that. And
(10:13):
with that being said, I think what's very important if
you're dating okay girl, the girl really quick? Okay, if
you notice the like the guys the ones that they
always end up with are the ones that's completely different
from all the other girls that they ended up with
or that they were with in the past. You with me.
So with that being said, one thing that I I
(10:33):
one of my mistakes back then is I would do
the same things that the other girls that their type
would do, you know, saying like if the girl, the
girls in the past like would dress a certain way,
I would kind of start dressing like that. That's some
insecure shit, So don't do that. Yeah, Okay, but I'm
just saying, if there's one thing I wish that I
put that I was solid on being on putting God
first because I always I feel like when you put
(10:56):
God first and you prioritize that, you give the people
what they need. You know what I'm saying. And that's
like in any relationship, friendship, like anybody, because your authentic self,
it will serve the right way to the right people.
The second thing is how many lessons you need, how
many lessons you want? So that's the first lesson. Lesson
(11:18):
number two and I would like, this is I guess
for you guys as well, getting into where you guys
are at. You guys are going to be hanging out
with a lot of older people. My lesson would probably
be values are the same no matter which circle you're in,
whether you're in front of a bunch of cameras or
whether you're with people who are broke, Like, the values
(11:39):
are still the same. So one thing I would say
is like, don't be scared to speak up on it,
even if like your boss or something is doing something
that's against those values. Like, those values are still gonna
remain the same no matter what. And I the Bible
always says, like, anybody who testes the principles of the Bible, well,
I don't say in these words, but they'll eat their words.
(12:00):
You know, I don't know. The verse says it's gonna
come back to you. So I those are the main ones,
and anybody who tries to test it, Like, I've seen
everybody eat their words, whether I like everybody who've done
me wrong, I've seen them eat their words without me
having to go after them. So that's how I know
I'm covered by the grace of God. But that's those
(12:21):
are the lessons that I've learned that I'm still training
myself today to keep doing him all right, Next question.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
A big old list, Okay, a big list, Yeah, because
I was just like, yeah, what's something that you've learned
about time or patience?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, I don't got time or patience, so there's not
much I learned because verse I'm always late. Actually I
got it late today where it is recording, Well, okay,
maybe nobody else is. I don't think other people will
agree with me on this, But you can't prioritize everything.
What you're going to prioritize the stuff that's important to you.
So that's what you're gonna make time for and it
(13:03):
may not be the same for everybody else, Like, for example,
other like I will prioritize my family, so meaning I
would drop whatever I'm doing, And I'm okay with dropping
whatever I'm doing to go to my family, even like
it sounds silly to other people, like, Oh, you're gonna
drop your You're gonna drop this client just so you
could go to like your little cousin's basketball game. Yeah,
(13:23):
I would, you know, And so other people would tell me, like,
you gotta get your priority straight. You got to manage
your time better. Well, not all of us has the
same priorities. And that's what I started to learn or
started to realize, Like other people like they could prioritize
their job, which is great, but if I have a
different priority, we're not gonna align on the same timing
of stuff. So that's my I don't know if that's
(13:46):
do whatever you want with that girl. If you miss something,
that's on you. But I hope I answered it. I
think I could fit one more question.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Go ahead, Okay, did you have a role model and
what did they teach you?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I don't I don't like that question. I feel like
because I feel like there's people I always look up to,
but they were never my role model, because I feel
like once I start getting to know the people on top,
you start realizing, oh, they're regular people as well, and
they have their own weaknesses and they have their own insecurities,
and I just feel like I feel like I have
a version of my stuff that I want to be,
and that's my role model. I don't know if you
(14:21):
could be my ear own role model, but I feel
like that's those are my goals, Like, Okay, do I
want to For example, if I want to be like
fit and like there's people in like each round, I'm like, okay,
I'm going to follow what they're doing so I could
look like that or get to that level. But I
feel like I never had a role model. It's just me.
All right, you guys, any last words, we're going to
(14:44):
close this up. Nah, they were good, They're good, Okay, Okay,
he said, then we're good. You're gonna talk no more.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay, I just keep talking, so I feel like I
should not talk as much.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, this is good, this is good. All right, you guys.
I mean you guys could find Cyrus waere.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Cyrus underscored dot, the underscored dot virus on Instagram perfect.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
And then Rocky, Uh, mine is just my name or
my actual name.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Rocky's a nickname Sophia dot Raquel, but I'll spell it
because it's spelled fun.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Uh, it's s O P h I A h dot
r A c q u E l l E.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yes, Oh that's really loud. So Rocky is one of
the beauty queens that I was also mentoring back in
like what two three years ago? Yeah, that's when we

(00:54):
know what ATA means, it's like older sister or like
older Yeah, like older sisters, right, but I'm not related
to any of them. So anyways, all right, you guys,
so we have these two today. They're gonna ask me
questions and I will give my best advice. So but
as do as I say, not as I do. Okay,
So all right ready, okay, I guess we could start
(01:17):
with Rocky. Okay, your first question, girl, first.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Question, what do you wish you had known when you
were my age?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Oh? What I wish I would have known? That's a
really good question. Would I will what would I wish?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
What?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
What is the question? What? What?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
What? Where?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Did it go?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Hold on? What do you wish you had known when
you were my age?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
More like financial resources? If I if I always say,
like if I had the same amount of money that
I had before, I wish I understood real estate more

the things you want because investment is like something that's
(02:06):
going to pay you out, pay you off later. And
I wish I knew more about real estate before because
I would have been more prepared. But now look at me.
So okay, all right, So that was a good question.
I want to ask that to you too. What is
something that you wish you knew before?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Something that before now? Yeah, Oh I do not know
because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
The question was for you for your mind. Okay, well
do you want to respond to that question? Sorry? What
was the question again? My gosh, what would you wish? Oh,
my gosh, what would have washed it?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Wash it?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
What would you wish that?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
What do you wish you had known? Well?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
For you, it's when you were my age.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So I guess what do you wish you had known now? No? What?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
What' something? Because I mean, okay, I don't believe in
like people are smart because of their age. I believe
that people are wise because of experiences. So maybe there's
something that you knew now that you wish that you
knew before. Oh okay. Well for me, for boxing, it's

my older brother did it too, and that's when I
was like twelve. But I have very like bony arm.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't have a lot of muscle. All my muscles
in my legs, I did a lot.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Of They say that girls are stronger, yes in your
lower body than guys.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
So when I did jiu jitsu, I sucked at takedowns,
which is also why I wasn't the greatest at wrestling
because the wrestling is like the complete.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Opposite of what I'm good at in jiu jitsu.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
But I had a guy one time and he went
to go I had just trained with him, and then
he we switched partners and he went with my older
brother and then he was like, man, that girl, like
I can't I can't submit her. I don't know, I
can't do anything, like she's kind of scared, like and
my brother was just like, oh, yeah, that's my sister.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
He was like, really, how old is she?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
He was like, she's like twelve.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
How do you feel about like guys, if you were
against a guy, how do you feel about them like
being a little easy on you because you're a girl.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I don't think anybody did that one, but I would
prefer not because then like it's easier for me to
figure out how to get out.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, I got you out of a situation.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Ye. So like during when I did jiu jitsu, some
of the things like it's more points, like if you
depending on where you are, so if like you're in
mount that's more points for competition. But if I was
going with a guy, I'm not strong enough. I can't
push them off from me or like flip us over
(08:49):
to get out of it. I legit would just like
try to lift as much weight as possible and slide
out underneath.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
All smart. I think it's just technique. I feel, especially
with jiu jitsu and wrestling, I feel like it's more
technique than anything. And then I feel like with boxing,
well I don't want to say the wrong thing. You
know the house all right? Oh, I feel like it's
also strength, but also like like fast, like speed, you
know what I'm saying, But that's also technique. It's a
little quick thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's the funny thing too, because when I did wrestling,
my coaches knew that I did jujitsu and she was like,
good job, you're doing great, like you're thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
But wrestling is just brute force.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
So don't think. Just push and I was like, I
can't do that.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't have muscle. Okay, well, these are really good questions,
all right, So that's question number one. Question number two,
your turn, I think fast, Sorry, you're good. What are
the most important lessons you've learned in life. Mmm, I
say these are also like regrets that I wish that
I could reduce stuff. I guess number one lesson that
(09:51):
I've learned was have to be in dating I would
always say or something. I feel like, this is something
that is always said, but I also feel like I
just I failed at doing so Basically they always say
like put God first. I failed at putting God first,
and I always I always end up in like really
bad situations in my love life because of that. And
(10:13):
with that being said, I think what's very important if
you're dating okay girl, the girl really quick? Okay, if
you notice the like the guys the ones that they
always end up with are the ones that's completely different
from all the other girls that they ended up with
or that they were with in the past. You with me.
So with that being said, one thing that I I
(10:33):
one of my mistakes back then is I would do
the same things that the other girls that their type
would do, you know, saying like if the girl, the
girls in the past like would dress a certain way,
I would kind of start dressing like that. That's some
insecure shit, So don't do that. Yeah, Okay, but I'm
just saying, if there's one thing I wish that I
put that I was solid on being on putting God
first because I always I feel like when you put
(10:56):
God first and you prioritize that, you give the people
what they need. You know what I'm saying. And that's
like in any relationship, friendship, like anybody, because your authentic self,
it will serve the right way to the right people.
The second thing is how many lessons you need, how
many lessons you want? So that's the first lesson. Lesson
(11:18):
number two and I would like, this is I guess
for you guys as well, getting into where you guys
are at. You guys are going to be hanging out
with a lot of older people. My lesson would probably
be values are the same no matter which circle you're in,
whether you're in front of a bunch of cameras or
whether you're with people who are broke, Like, the values
(11:39):
are still the same. So one thing I would say
is like, don't be scared to speak up on it,
even if like your boss or something is doing something
that's against those values. Like, those values are still gonna
remain the same no matter what. And I the Bible
always says, like, anybody who testes the principles of the Bible, well,
I don't say in these words, but they'll eat their words.
(12:00):
You know, I don't know. The verse says it's gonna
come back to you. So I those are the main ones,
and anybody who tries to test it, Like, I've seen
everybody eat their words, whether I like everybody who've done
me wrong, I've seen them eat their words without me
having to go after them. So that's how I know
I'm covered by the grace of God. But that's those
(12:21):
are the lessons that I've learned that I'm still training
myself today to keep doing him all right, Next question.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
A big old list, Okay, a big list, Yeah, because
I was just like, yeah, what's something that you've learned
about time or patience?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, I don't got time or patience, so there's not
much I learned because verse I'm always late. Actually I
got it late today where it is recording, Well, okay,
maybe nobody else is. I don't think other people will
agree with me on this, But you can't prioritize everything.
What you're going to prioritize the stuff that's important to you.
So that's what you're gonna make time for and it
(13:03):
may not be the same for everybody else, Like, for example,
other like I will prioritize my family, so meaning I
would drop whatever I'm doing, And I'm okay with dropping
whatever I'm doing to go to my family, even like
it sounds silly to other people, like, Oh, you're gonna
drop your You're gonna drop this client just so you
could go to like your little cousin's basketball game. Yeah,
(13:23):
I would, you know, And so other people would tell me, like,
you gotta get your priority straight. You got to manage
your time better. Well, not all of us has the
same priorities. And that's what I started to learn or
started to realize, Like other people like they could prioritize
their job, which is great, but if I have a
different priority, we're not gonna align on the same timing
of stuff. So that's my I don't know if that's
(13:46):
do whatever you want with that girl. If you miss something,
that's on you. But I hope I answered it. I
think I could fit one more question.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Go ahead, Okay, did you have a role model and
what did they teach you?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I don't I don't like that question. I feel like
because I feel like there's people I always look up to,
but they were never my role model, because I feel
like once I start getting to know the people on top,
you start realizing, oh, they're regular people as well, and
they have their own weaknesses and they have their own insecurities,
and I just feel like I feel like I have
a version of my stuff that I want to be,
and that's my role model. I don't know if you
(14:21):
could be my ear own role model, but I feel
like that's those are my goals, Like, Okay, do I
want to For example, if I want to be like
fit and like there's people in like each round, I'm like, okay,
I'm going to follow what they're doing so I could
look like that or get to that level. But I
feel like I never had a role model. It's just me.
All right, you guys, any last words, we're going to
(14:44):
close this up. Nah, they were good, They're good, Okay, Okay,
he said, then we're good. You're gonna talk no more.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Okay, I just keep talking, so I feel like I
should not talk as much.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
No, this is good, this is good. All right, you guys.
I mean you guys could find Cyrus waere.
Speaker 2 (15:00):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
