I have two of my closest friends with me, my circles, very teeny tiny, and I have two of them here with me, and we're going to talk about our friendship, talk about more about me from their perspective, and let's get it started, okay, guys. So the friends I have

today are Brianna Houser Gonzalez right here. She's super shy. Just give her a little bit alcohol, she'll loosen up. And over here, my amiga Lae.

Speaker 2

We call her what.

Speaker 1

Do we call you that? Right here? J Almost no, but almost no anyway, Yeah, that's the conversation she has it on her on her on her id.

Speaker 3

It's not the passport.

Speaker 2

Yeah, almost no, almost almost no.

Speaker 1

Okay, guys, So this these are my friends. And again, I have a very small friend like circle and I and I like it that way. I feel like a lot of acquaintances, a lot of not a lot of friends exactly like. And I've learned throughout the years that it's better that way, and I'm happy with the friends that I have, and sure I feel blessed. I've known Brianna.

Speaker 4

How long have I known?

Speaker 2

No, I think it's like sixteen years?

Speaker 1

Sixteen years, Oh my gosh. So I met her when we were recording Cheeks and Roxy. Oh my god. That was in two thousand and nine, twenty ten. So yeah, that's when I met you. And now she's a mommy four I'm gonna say four, say that I know a example boy, I know, oh my god. And her husband is the home eme and so yeah, that's Brianna and Judy over here. I've known for how long I'm.

Speaker 3

Yeah, since twenty twelve.

Speaker 1

Twenty twelve. And the way I met her was through.

Speaker 3

You emailed me, yes, yes that you wanted to close.

Speaker 1

Yes. Her boutique is called Victoria's Boutique. You guys. She was one of the first to start the online boutique movement. And we started talking like that.

Speaker 3

Yeah, pretty much. I never thought it would be coming to a friendship. Yeah, but yeah, yeah, amazing.

Speaker 1

Yeah. So that's what Judy is. She owns her own business and it's grown, and that's how I met her. And then Brianna here, Brianna is tell him what you do, because I think it's got me. Yeah, I honestly I love it. I love watching your tiktoks. By the way, I'm a.

Speaker 2

Mom of three. I stay home with my kids, which is very exhausting. I know, a lot of work, very exhausting. I never thought that. I never thought that that would be me.

Speaker 1

I don't know. I think it's it's a amazing and I think it's very what's the word. It's twenty four seven, it's twenty four to seven, And I think that people don't give women that stay home like amazekasa, like stay at home moms, like the respect that you guys deserve, or not the respect, but the praise. That's the word. Because it's a lot. It's it's a lot like but it's for the better good because I think you being

there with your children makes the biggest difference. Thank goodness, your husband goes out and works and you guys have everything you need. But it's like also that big part of being able to be there with your children and guide them and help them with their homework. It's it's I think it's awesome. So I think it's a blessings. It is. Yeah, yeah, and I.

Speaker 2

Wouldn't have it any other way. I mean it's hard and exhausting and everything, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't want anyone else to do the things that I do for them, Like I want to do those things.

Speaker 1

Have you thought about like once they get older? Do you want to now?

Speaker 2

Yeh?

Speaker 1

Like oh because Markie now yeah, he's youngest.

Speaker 2

Yeah, so I was like, oh, I'm useless, nobody needs me anymore. But no, that's yeah, now that he's in school, he just started, and I'm like, okay, like what am I going to do? Like so that's that's kind of where where I'm at.

Speaker 1

Yeah, And I mean, well, first of all, you guys, before before we continue this conversation, I haven't had a drink in ninety days. Okay, yesterday was the end of my ninety day cleansed detox fasting that I was doing. So I'm gonna have my first shot with my friends, my first shot here we go.

Speaker 2

I for sure thought it was going to be like before, Oh, we're so.

Speaker 1

Honored here, I know, And I'm gonna have my first shot here on camera with you guys, So cheers. Okay. Also, I learned a new one. Hold on a second, I'm not above you. I'm not under you. I learned this one from what show? Was it? Love is Blind? Okay, So yeah, I'm not above you, I'm not under you, but I'm right here with you. Cheers, equal number number of sallios.

Speaker 2

Okay, cool?

Speaker 1

Oh you know me? That is my first shot in ninety days. You guys, how does that feel? It feels nice.

Speaker 3

I'm so proud of you.

Speaker 1

But it's not just alcohol, right, it was no meat, no meat of meat, no meat, no coffee, no cannabis.

Speaker 2

I didn't know if I could say that.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you can say it. No cannabis. It's it's medicinal. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. It's a lot better. And I tell people that want to come for me and say, oh my god, you smoke cannabis or you take edibles, It's like, yeah, it's worse than drinking a freaking taking a child and all, but it is.

Speaker 3

That's true.

Speaker 2

I just like that. You're just honest.

Speaker 1

I have to be.

Speaker 2

I love that. I love that, like that's yeah. I hate when people like, oh no, I don't I'm perfect. I don't think I don't.

Speaker 1

Like no, no, we know you. Yeah you know? Yeah, well talking about that because you guys have both known me. Like I met you in twenty twelve. I was barely starting my like my career. I mean, I had started in two thousand and nine, and that's kind of where like I was like, Okay, I'm starting this path. But then I met you in twenty twelve. So much has happened,

you guys. So much has happened since then, So talking about that, and be honest, I have a bunch of questions here and we're just gonna let the conversation flow. But this is why I wanted my friends to come on the podcast, so we can talk about like who I am as a friend, my pet peeves, my flaws because we all have them, and for you guys to get to know me from my friend's point of view, so exactly my friend's perspective. So I'm a drink a little bit, So you guys tell me talk about annesty.

Do you guys feel that I'm the same person because you guys have seen me on stage? No, okay, tell me what do you feel.

Speaker 3

I'm not the same person as before, but not that you were ever a bad person. But I feel like we've witnessed so much growth and I think it's a beautiful thing. Like we've all kind of grown together. But to see you like grow not only like as a person, you know, but as like you know, your career, like artists, like you're your performance, all those crazy I feel like it's amazing because you've grown to be like just a better version of yourself.

Speaker 2

She grew a big one.

Speaker 1

I grew big one. She did.

Speaker 2

I was like and more mature, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3

I think it's it's cool to see that transition.

Speaker 2

And it's like when we first met, it was like we could go anywhere, and like it was just we could go anyway and nobody stopped her or anything. And now it's like we were nikonos, like and there's lady that like screamed from across the street and she was like cheeky's.

Speaker 1

And I was just like, She's like what you didn't think.

Speaker 2

They were gonna got the heck? Like we're like on the other side of the world. Like so the fact that, like, I mean, when we first met, it was like that wasn't that wasn't the case, right, We can do anything and go anywhere and act a fool and nobody knew yes, And now it's like oh my god, like everywhere, Like I'm just.

Speaker 1

Like damn, Like is that weird for you guys?

Speaker 3

No?

Speaker 2

For men?

Speaker 1

Honest, No, I'm used to it now.

Speaker 2

Like back then, I was like, oh shoot, like more people are like knowing. It's like it's not like just about her mom, Like it's her that they want, you know, And I'm like, damn, Like she's an artist, like and I tend to forget that sometimes to me.

Speaker 3

Know you on a personal level, yeah, Like we have that privilege, you know, in honor to know you, like like like yeah, so like when we actually go see her like perform, it's like I'm like, oh, damn, our best friend, yea.

Speaker 1

Does it feel weird or not anymore? Like to see me like because we have dinners, we have very very private conversations.

Speaker 3

It's a different version of you. But it's like we were like it's like.

Speaker 1

Yeah, but do you guys feel like for instance, because there are probably people that watch or listen to me and say, oh, like I wonder if she's who she says she is on social media or is she pretending she putting up a front.

Speaker 2

That's the probably the biggest question I get.

Speaker 1

Yeah, Okay, that is true.

Speaker 2

People ask me all the time like, oh, like you know, for whatever occasion, like is it hard to buy her a gift?

Speaker 1

Is it?

Speaker 2

Like? Oh, I could never hang out with her, she wouldn't want to hang out with me. And I'm like it couldn't be the opposite, Like it couldn't be more different, like like no, like like like what do you buy her? And I'm like, you guys, slippers and some panamas? It sucks And I'm like a candle, like a candle.

Speaker 1

And even when it.

Speaker 3

Comes to eating, you're not like all about like the Nanci stuff.

Speaker 1

We're chilling, dude.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

That was one of the biggest things that we loved about like one another, is that we go in. We love to eat, yeah too much, you know, we love it.

Speaker 3

And that's how kind of like our friendship started. We started doing a lot of like dinner dates.

Speaker 1

A lot of dinner Yeah for sure. It was I mean, yeah, because I met you after my mom passed, right, yes, yay, and I didn't meet her. Yeah, yeah, you didn't get to my mom would have loved you for sure, right, yeah, like my mom would have loved you.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

She She's asked me from like do you think your mom would like, like our friendship, and I'm like, oh yeah, she would. She would know that's a real one, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2

She knew, she knew she should. My mom knew.

Speaker 1

She was always almost always ninety eight percent of the time right about everyone. She's like, all right, I give this guy, but I give this guy ninety days. She was right all the time. She's like, give ninety days, he gonna last. I'm like, Mom, but I really like him. I know my daughter. She would tell me, I know my daughter. She's like this friend, they're using you.

I'm like, I want you guys for the rest of my life. And I love because the group of friends that I have. In reality, I brought you guys together like they met because of me, and I love that you guys talk, you guys get along. But there's something that drew us together. What do you guys think that was?

Speaker 2

I mean, for me, it was like we grew up to like we were like kids when we met, and like it's been like so many things that have happened. I mean, death, divorce, marriage, babies, I mean, like so many things have happened. So it's like very I'm gonna cry.

Speaker 1

It's okay, I know, because that's.

Speaker 2

It's like a lot. It's a lot of things that and so I feel like like we we grew together. It wasn't like she grew I did it.

Speaker 1

It was like we grew together together.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Well, when I first met Brianna, you guys, hopefully it's okay for me to say this, but as far as like your dad, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, well her dad passed away. Yeah, what year was it? Two thousand and two, two thousand and two. I met her in two thousand

and nine, you guys. And she would tell me my mom passed away in twenty twelve, right, So she would tell me, and she would cry a lot, Like we would go to dinner and something would come up or Valentine's Day because he passed away on Valentine's Day, and I didn't understand. I would sit across from her and I was like, I don't understand, Like I know, my

dad's not here. I don't talk to my dad, but like I had my mom and I was like, oh my god, Like I couldn't really And that's like I couldn't sympathize because I'm very empathetic, Like I I'm an EmPATH.

Speaker 2

Like, so I felt Jen and Johnny's dad had just passed, had.

Speaker 1

Just passed away. Yeah, So it's like we would cry and stuff. Yeah, and she would cry. I'm sorry she would cry.

Speaker 2

And she was like that's like Johnny and Johnna, I don't know what to tell.

Speaker 1

Them, like yeah, no, Yeah. And then fast forward to a few years later later, my mom passed away and I was and we were to Gosh, and we were together. We were together. She was in Vegas with me, you guys when I found out my mom passed away.

Speaker 2

Yeah, And I just remember it was.

Speaker 1

One of the ones that I speak about in the book. Yeah.

Speaker 2

I just remember the phone ringing and ringing and ringing, and I'm like, who's calling?

Speaker 1

Like what, Like it was like ten am in Vegas and she was in the.

Speaker 2

Shower and I remember like the phone was ringing and ringing and ringing, and it was like, we have to get home. We have to get home, like I don't know what's going on, something's wrong. And it was just like how we got from Vegas to Long Beach Lakewood, Lakewood in like three hours on the door and she didn't want anybody to drive, and I was.

Speaker 1

I wanted to be in control.

Speaker 2

I don't think you should drive, like just let one of them. And she was just like no, I got it. I'm gonna drive and I'm in that little Prius. We just flew like flew to Lakewood.

Speaker 1

Thank God. Yeah, I don't suggest anyone to do that. Yeah, wear your seatboat.

Speaker 2

But God was protecting us, like yeah, a thousand percent.

Speaker 1

And that's when I knew because you were there with me the first few days where I was like I was going to lose my thing.

Speaker 2

I was like I can't leave her, like I can have to stay here like I can.

Speaker 1

And that's when I understood, this is why God put her in life. This is why God put her in my life.

Speaker 2

And I just remember like sitting there all bed at your grandma's house and I was just like holding her face and she was like something I've got, this is bad. Han. I was just like I just held her face. I was like it's okay, Like it's okay, I figure this out. Yeah, We're going to figure this out. And it was just traumatic.

Speaker 1

It was traumatic. It was horrible.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

So yeah, and that's why I was like, Okay, God knows why he put her in my life. And then with Judy, I feel like she and I don't know if I've ever told her this. I don't know if I ever told you this, don't, don't, don't. But you remind me a lot of my mom.

Speaker 2

Have I told you that?

Speaker 3

Speaker 1

Met You remind me a lot of my mom a lot. So I could say yeah because I yeah, because I met you right after my mom pass like a little bit, right right after my mom passed. And I think it's you resemble so much and I feel like, in a way, I'm like able to understand my mom more through you with everything that you like deal with and like I'm just it's certain things that I'm like, damn, I wish I could help her more, you know, she's because she's so like.

I think that, respectfully, he's a very handsome man, respectfully, okay. And I think he's a great actor. Okay. And I love all his movies except one.

And I got a huge fight with my ex in that time because I was showing tits. But it's like, it's my thirtieth birthday and I was light, not by choice. And that's the thing, Like I don't want to be late. Like this is what I mean when I say, yeah, it just happens when I say that I was born this way. I was two weeks late and I had

to be induced. You guys, I only moved one time, and my mom's tummy and she says, dude, I thought you were dead because I was like, I only moved one time in eight like and I was like eight months in my mom's stomach and she and they had to induce me because I was chilling.

Speaker 2

Let's see, probably when my first son was born. She was there with me when he was born, and she came in and she was crying.

Speaker 1

She was like you I was there.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that was probably the best memory I have.

Speaker 1

You were so pretty and your hair was done in her makeup and.

Speaker 2

Stuff because she was like, you're not even like you look fine.

Speaker 1

I made sure I was there. Yeah, she was there.

Speaker 2

I think Omi came with you.

Speaker 1

Speaker 2

I think that was my best.

Speaker 1

Memory for me. I love Charlie. Yeah, Charlie's her oldest son. He's amazing.

Speaker 2

And she was there with me, and I was scared. I never had a surgery before and so I was she was super scared. Yeah, I was super afraid. And yeah, I remember coming now and I was holding him and.

Speaker 1

She said, you had a baby.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I remember, that's yeah.

Speaker 3

What about you?

Speaker 1

I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 3

There's so many. I don't know, Like I appreciate a lot of memories that I have.

Speaker 1

With you, Like can I tell you one? Yeah, And I'll never forget this. The time when we went to the mountains and shot no, no, no, that was great too. But when we went to the mountains and shot your dad's guns because he has like a hundred actually.

Speaker 4

Already I was going to confess to you what che Yes he told me last year.

Speaker 3

But I mean, obviously we have time and we could go shoot your dad and he has a big coction.

Speaker 1

He has a big collection, has a big collection. They're all registered. And then we play out of my big time.

Speaker 2

A Wanta asked for a song. But can you know, Okay, I know I love it.

Speaker 1

You know I love it. What's your biggest fear?

Speaker 2

Oh my god, My biggest fear is I think knowing that I can't like be with my kids forever, so I can't always take care of them like that I'm eventually like not going to be here to take care of them.

Speaker 1

Oh fuck, dude.

Speaker 3

That's true. That's my name. That is true.

Speaker 1

Oh you had that on a TikTok the other day.

Speaker 2

Yes, yeah, I did.

Speaker 1

Hit me. I did because I was looking at my how cute. And then it came to that part where it was like, that's my biggest fear. Oh my god, I will always be here for them, you know.

Speaker 3

Yeah, yeah, I think it's like being a mom thing. So I would say that's I think the older I'm getting is my health, Like I want to be healthy. I'm more conscious about like things that I antake, and you've actually been a big part.

Speaker 1

Of that too, like you know, get us.

Speaker 3

So I would say, like my health and I just want to be healthy for my kids. So I would say death. Other than that, like yeah, you know, I would just say death is my biggest fear.

Speaker 2

What's your biggest fear?

Speaker 1

Damn? You know what?

Speaker 2

Well, I don't feel like she's not afraid of I.

Speaker 1

Don't even want to verbalize it because I honestly I'm not afraid of a lot of things. But what I mean, it's a real thing because.

Speaker 3

I want I'm not ready, like I maybe want to finish a couple more years of my kids. And then you gotta just yeah, God give me a little bit more years, you know.

Speaker 1

Yeah, because if people have asked me on the podcast, are you afraid of dying? And I'm like, I'm not. No, but I don't have kids, you know what I mean, She's not afraid of any Okay, I'm not.

Speaker 2

But if we didn't have children, I think that would be I feel like your mom. I would want to say your mom was like she wasn't afraid of freaking anything. Like I'd be like, oh my god, and you're like that, like Brihanna, don't be afraid.

Speaker 3

Like we're not going to be afraid.

Speaker 1

Like, I'm not afraid of anything, right, I'm not scared of I'm not scared of a lot of things. I think it's just having to live my life without one of my siblings, you know what I mean? And and God forbid, Like it's like I have children and have to live my life without one of my kids. I think that's those are your kids? Those are yeah, those are the worst. Actually, yes, it's one of the worst pains, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2

I had a dream last night that you had a baby, really a girl.

Speaker 1

Boy, I don't know, And I think I told you.

Speaker 2

I think I had a dream that she told me that she was pregnant, and I remember I was crying, like, oh my god, like yeah, I get what you're saying. Like I feel like it's going to be like that baby's going to be like in the little bable, like only organic, and I'm going to protect the baby because she's amazing.

Speaker 1

Like yeah, like I'm scared.

Speaker 2

I'm scared to have a baby. Yeah, but I feel like it's gonna been through a lot.

Speaker 1

I don't know, man, I love so hard, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3

She does.

Speaker 1

I love so hard that I'm like, yeah, the.

Speaker 2

Way he loves his dog, I can't even imagine if I'm like, oh my god, imagine a child. He loves so hard.

Speaker 1

Speaker 2

That's why I feel like it's going to be a boy because, like you, I would love to be a boy.

Speaker 5

Mom.

Speaker 1

I know, I know, but if I'm a girl, mom, I feel like that is what God needs, don't so that I can heal with my mom.

Speaker 3

Yeah, that we talked about.

Speaker 2

Because it was a very complicated relationship.

Speaker 1

It was it was very complicated. But I feel like we have some unfinished business to do. Yeah, we have some unfinished business. And I feel like I'm going to be able to heal that. And I want I am here to break generational curses and traumas that in order for me to do that, I need to have a girl. As much as I think I want a boy and I think I need a boy, I feel like it's going to be a girl. I don't see a boy.

Speaker 2

I mean, I don't see a girl.

Speaker 1

I've always wanted a boy. I feel like I'm a boy mom.

Speaker 2

I don't see a girl.

Speaker 1

But I feel like if it is a girl, because a baby. Yeah, okay, okay, question okay, I mean yeah. Do I like gold or silver? Jerico? Oh?

Speaker 3

Silver?

Speaker 1

I mean I love gold? Yeah, I do both. That's why right now?

Speaker 3

And then I literally just saw the Mickey Mouse.

Speaker 1

Here's the thing. I just bought myself a watch that has a two tone because I love to so I love to tone. Yes, I don't like to feel limited. I don't like to feel like in a box. I like to do both. But if you were to ask me, do I like gold or silver? I would go for gold first first, it's okay, look, that's fine, Okay, hold on, fuck strike oh ship, here's one, Brianna, Let's see if this is real. So this is the last question for the podcast, you guys, because this is a very long one.

But I've had a great time with you and I'm so grateful when you guys came up.

Speaker 2

Anyone's wondering what a dinner would be like, this is what it would be.

Speaker 1

It would be this conversations.

Speaker 3

But I don't think you want to know that.

Speaker 1

Part, the sexual part, the sexual part. Okay, all right, is there anything be honest? One hundred and freaking ten percent. Is there anything that you would change in our friendship? Go Brianna.

Speaker 2

It would be like she's so busy like I'm at which I mean, of course, right, but that would be the thing, like if we would spend more time to.

Speaker 3

I have to agree with you one hundred percent.

Speaker 1

Yeah, that would be whatever anytime that we.

Speaker 3

Get to spend together. And I even told you before even coming on here. I'm like, our outings that I look forward to is like being with my friends, because one of the things that I don't think you realize is that it's very healing from my healing process is being around my friends. My two friends, you know, friendship that there's never been drama between, a judgment between or judgment.

Speaker 2

For me, it's like and you have.

Speaker 3

A like friendship that there's never been drama. There's no reason for drama, Like it's just been so pure and so beautiful. So I would take time. But then I also respect that you are a busy woman, and anytime that we do have together I am so grateful for.
