Introduction and Costa Rica Trip
Speaker 2oh, you're right, here all right, welcome back to another episode of broke boys. Just want to say real quick, is I heard your guys's uh request? The women are going to be more involved in the podcast, so let's go ahead, let's get started how do you guys feel after the modelo?
Speaker 1after the modelo, trina talking the mic, so you can, I can hear you. I'm good, all right, marina talking your mic, so I can make sure I hear you. I can kind of hear her. Yeah, okay, guys, I can hear that. I feel like I'm gonna want to become a regular guest on your show. You just have to make the drive. Unfortunately, trina, it's kind of a push for you. That's. That's the troubling part. Martin has some questions that we can get into. Okay, that he can try away.
Speaker 1Well, we heard, we heard you guys went on a girl's trip. Where did you guys go? What made you guys want to go to costa rica? Well, actually we still don't know. I actually wanted to go to the dominican republic. So I did a solo trip last year, puerto rico, and I was like, okay, I want to go to the Dominican Republic. So I did a solo trip last year, puerto Rico, and I was like, okay, I want to go to the Dominican Republic. And then your mom was like, oh, who are you going with? Where are you going? And I was like, well, I don't know.
Speaker 4I want to go yeah.
Speaker 1And then we're like, okay, well, let's just go to Costa Rica and see what that's like. And you went on a solo trip where Puerto Rico that that's crazy. All by yourself. Yeah, obviously that's what solo means. Yeah, that takes a lot of guts, I feel. How long were you there? A week by yourself? Yeah, that's crazy. Would you ever go on a solo trip? I would, you would.
Speaker 2I'd be so scared. Actually, I do it. I feel like I can't.
Speaker 1I feel like I can't go anywhere by myself.
Speaker 2If you had a house full of kids like that, you'd have them.
Speaker 1Okay, and that's real. He said I want to leave. I can see that. I can see that. So, costa Rica, you guys just got back like a week or two ago. Do you guys have any highlights you guys want to share? Before we get into the questions, we'll let Trina go first, because then we'll piggyback off of Trina. Why am I going to go first? Because then we're going to out you, out me, on how, just how did you like the trip? How about we'll go around? Everyone will say their favorite moment from the trip. Let's do that when.
Speaker 3I lost my phone, okay from the trip.
Speaker 1Let's do that when I lost my phone. Okay, well, your favorite part, no, okay. So wait, how did you lost your phone on the trip? Yes, I did. How'd you do that?
Speaker 3well, somebody was supposed to take a picture of me.
Speaker 1She was thinking she was a little mermaid on the beach. She's like take a picture. Take a picture, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3I'll let you say your version, my version is. I had my phone and Trina said, hey, let me take a picture of you. I said okay, and I gave her my phone and all of a sudden a big wave came and knocked us down and then she's like oh my God, there is. It was a wave because we got knocked down. And knocked us down and she's like I think I lost your phone and I'm like what? And that was it, okay so for the listeners.
Speaker 1There are two Trinas, so we have Trina E, and then we have Trina R, and then we have my mom, mary Helen, and then we have my Tia Myrna over here. So Trina E said that Trina R dropped her phone. Oh yeah, and my Tiaia Maida went on the trip too, but she's not here.
Speaker 3She had to work.
Speaker 1Yeah, I know so yeah, and it's Saturday, but that's why Trina was saying so. Trina E wanted Trina R to take a picture. A wave came and Trina R lost Trina E's phone. Trina R, defend yourself, okay. First of all, I was fighting for my life that whole day. That whole day. It gets better, it gets better. I've lost my earrings I've lost my eyelashes, poor Shayla, and then my Shayla's, my Shayla's, and then Trina is like I go oh Trina, you look cute, let me take your picture.
Speaker 3And she was posing like this right, yeah.
Speaker 1And then I was like, hold on, though, hold on, hold on, and she didn't hear that part.
Speaker 4So then I was like, trina, your phone, your phone, and I felt like like shit the whole trip.
Speaker 1But yeah like no, they didn't hey when. How early in the trip did this happen? So you guys landed what day? Monday. You guys landed on monday and by tuesday Trina had no phone.
Speaker 3Yes, that's real unfortunate midday midday it was midday after we got our massages on the beach. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1Trina R. What's your favorite point of the trip? I think it's all of it like. It was just like being in a foreign country and like just relaxing and being on the beach and just making a memory every single day, I think was the best part. I feel there was two parts. I feel the massage on the beach and then also our tattoos were a highlight, um, but I think the most fun or the most important thing was just the bonding between us and like we were all there for the same reason. We were always down. Okay, let's do that. Okay, let's do that like and just woman empowerment, I think to a certain point, though, when we're going.
Speaker 3What was that debbie downer over there? Yes, I am deber. Let me tell you we don't talk to strangers in a different country. We could have been raped.
Speaker 1Weren't you the one who lost Get out. She was mad about myself. Oh, speaking about being lost, she needs to speak to strangers because she's always lost.
Speaker 3No, I didn't speak to anybody, but the lady that was trying to sell stuff at the shop. Why are you lying? I didn't ask anybody anything. I walked right where you guys said you guys were going to go to eat and that's it. There just happened to be a shop right next to it and I said, oh, let me see what I can buy.
Speaker 1Meanwhile. 45 minutes later, we're still looking for trina. We said where is she? Where is she? We couldn't find her. They went that way, we went that way.
Speaker 3She was in the shop. Yeah, literally had a picture of trina in my phone.
Trina Gets Lost in Costa Rica
Speaker 1Literally had a picture of trina in my phone showing somebody and said hey, do you know? Have you seen this lady? We have lost our friend. Tell her.
Speaker 3Literally, you're over there. Yes, missy Fire.
Speaker 1She had no phone.
Speaker 4Missy Fire.
Speaker 1Yes, yeah, no phone on top of that. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2Yeah, and I'm over here rehearsing, like how do I explain this to her children? Like I've got to find her, how do I?
Speaker 4explain this to her children, Like I've got to find her Like.
Speaker 2this is not okay. They trusted. Why did I feel like I was responsible for you, cabrona? I kept going shit they're going to blame me. They're going to be mad at me if I don't find their mom. I've got to find this bitch. I'm pretty sure she's at the freaking store. And there you were, cabrona Shopping.
Speaker 1Like nothing, like nothing. We go in there yelling at her and she's like but which hat do you like better, this hat or that hat?
Speaker 4You don't give a fuck about the hat.
Speaker 1You've been missing for an hour. That's like an hour that we could be having a drink.
Speaker 3That's an hour, Wait, wait wait, we actually, we were, we were. You two were having a drink After we finished our drink and Maida and I were looking for your sorry after we finished, after our drink, we were really concerned.
Speaker 1Can I defend ourselves for that one? I feel like I'm defending myself so much right now there was some person that kept looking.
Speaker 1I'm like they're just sitting there all perfect in the back of my mind, this is what she does, this is what Trina's known for. But also when she got lost. When she initially got lost, I swear, I thought she was going to the bathroom with Mary Helen, so I was like, okay, I'm gonna wait for them out here, just in case Trina comes out first. And then I was like, wait, well, maybe she's, like you know, having issues in the bathroom.
Speaker 3It takes a little bit longer let me tell you I did my business and I left.
Speaker 2I went outside. I just saw no one.
Speaker 3Nobody, I don't talk that much and I'm like oh maybe they just went to go eat where they said they were gonna go eat. I do not like fish, so you guys were wanting the fish crap. I don't like that shit, so stop trina I don't like fish.
Speaker 2I you suck, Trina. I don't like fish, you suck Whatever girl. Wait so where I'm so stressed now. Okay, look, I even went to the big frickin' open field in the back and I saw two guys in a car and I went over there like you better not have my trade because I'm going to f you up. I'm from California.
Speaker 1You don't know me. You don't know me. You don't know what I'm doing. Wait so where were you when you got lost, or where were you?
Speaker 3supposed to be. No, okay, so this is. Let me tell you guys the story okay. So we go and they're talking to these guys about the horses we want to do horses on the beach. They were talking to horses, horseback riding, and then I told Myrna, not Myrna. I told Myrna, I said I need to go to the bathroom now. She goes? Well, go, it's right there. And I said, okay, that's all that was said, literally across the street.
Speaker 3That's all that was said. So I go in there, I ask the guy where are your restrooms? They point me to the back. I go and I thought they would be waiting in the front for me, right? Because?
Speaker 1she's Princess Trina. Princess Trina, we're at the bar cabrona.
Speaker 3How can you go past the bar Bitch? I'm blind.
Speaker 1That's an important detail. Trina is partially blind and partially deaf, she's hella blind.
Speaker 3I did not see them, but if I'm blind, they're blind because, they didn't see me.
Speaker 4I don't know every 20 seconds every 20 seconds.
Speaker 1Okay, you look, your turn look look where should they were obviously drunk by now, I guess. But to be fair, trina is a wanderer. Trina does get lost and I don't know how trina functions in the city that we live in normal everyday life.
Speaker 2Okay, look, when we go for the next travel trip thingy to Italy, I'm going to have my phone.
Speaker 3We're putting you on a leash.
Speaker 2You need a kid leash. Strap one to your. We're going to buy an AirTag.
Speaker 1Something.
Speaker 3AirTag. There you go. That would have been good too. There you go In Planet Tracker.
Speaker 4In Planet Tracker.
Speaker 3You can put in her. What was it Her?
Speaker 1bracelet, her ponytail, yeah, and her ponytail.
Speaker 3Oh yes.
Speaker 1Yes, the Puerto Rican princess.
Speaker 4The Puerto Rican princess.
Speaker 1That's where you can put the thing. Okay, myrna, you didn't share. What was your favorite part of the trip besides having to hunt for Trina, because that was important. That's how I felt. Second one what was your favorite part?
Speaker 2Favorite part I would have to agree with Mary Helen, I think just getting away and being able to be connected with other women especially. I call them my cousins, right, I know we're not like all related by blood, but to me they're my cousins. Yeah, we are. I thought that was really empowering. Just to be able to get away and have fun, live, just live, right Live.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I love that.
The ATV Volcano Adventure
Speaker 1I love that for you guys, before we get started and so we can figure out what to do with Sherman. We're going to roll the intro. Me and Trina can hear it in our headphones, you guys can't, so I'll take off my headphones. We can all hear high. We butterfly up to the sky. No way you catching us. Goodbye, we, the guy we make it out alive.
Speaker 4Me and Myrna are going to share a mic because Mom kept hers.
Speaker 1Oh sorry. Yeah, it's all right. No, you go off. I know how to share. There you go, I know, and then I'll just point it. I'll just point it at Myrna, that way she doesn't have to hold it because it's heavy. Just make sure you point it directly. I don't want to be in my face. No, I'm just saying I'm going, that's what she? Said Okay, she said a fighter.
Speaker 4Period.
Speaker 1So the first question that I have right now is what dreams did you silence in your 20s or 30s that you finally were ready to listen to? What dreams Can they hear you? No, I heard it, trina can. She has headphones. What dreams from your 20s and 30s did you silence that now you're ready to listen to? So what are things in your 20s or 30s? There's something that you guys wanted to do and maybe you guys weren't able to do it, but now you want to.
Speaker 1I just think in general, like I just think in general, you know, we were raising, all of us were raising kids, and you know you're just so enthralled in raising kids that, yeah, you take vacations here and there, but really your focus is kids. And so now, as the kids are older and just a different life situation, I'm just like, let let's. I want to do everything. I want to travel, yeah, before I can't anymore. Yeah, yeah, I feel like for me, because I was like a mom so young, I feel like that stigma of being a teenage parent, like stay with me until, like it's still with me, right, and I think, like because of that, like I really wanted to make sure that my, my kid, excelled in school and extracurricular activities and and everything. So I was so focused on making sure that we were not just a statistic but an example of, yeah, what could happen if you put your mind to like going to work and going to college and all that stuff.
Speaker 1So I think like I stopped myself from doing a lot of shit a lot of shit, and not even just like traveling, but like living how I wanted to live, like on a day-to-day basis, because there was like such a not only a cultural thing, right, but like just I have to do this or she has to come out this way. So I think, like everything that I'm doing now is stuff that I really wish that I was doing. When you were younger Trina, do you want to go next?
Speaker 3Miranda can go. Oh, I don't know, did you introduce everybody? Yeah, she introduced everybody earlier. Yeah, she introduced everybody earlier. I don't know, because I really I'm so on a whim that I just do what I want. I always have done what I want to do, that's true.
Speaker 1I mean, sometimes I've had, you know, Pizza conventions.
Speaker 3Yes, a lot she's gone to a lot of conventions.
Speaker 1Yes, yeah, I've just done what I wanted to do, no matter what anybody said and I feel like you well, with you specifically, I feel like even the things you want to do. You would take the kids with you like the. The kids were with you all the time. And, sissy, I remember trina would come over to our house. Oh yeah, trina would come to our house and trina's it doesn't matter, trina's my dad's cousin, but she would come over to the house and she would bring her kids and they would literally in this, like move in in the summer and they were there every day, all day and then, and then my mom would be like, hey, it's time to clean my mom's kids. We would scram and trina would have her kids like cleaning. So then we felt hella bad because our cousins were cleaning the mutual mess we made. But my cousins were over there cleaning and my mom's like, go help them clean your room. It was crazy.
Speaker 1Or later, when they got older we'd come home and what the fuck? Trina's on the couch. We never locked the door.
Speaker 3Yeah, they never locked the door. She was on the couch watching reality shows.
Speaker 1Yeah, they never locked the door.
Speaker 4She was on the couch watching a reality show.
Speaker 1And she used to work at a pizza place. So we would like hope that she'd come over late. She'd bring home the leftover pizzas. So she'd be like the kids are going to go swimming. We'd go swimming and we'd be like, hey, is your mom coming back today? She's going to bring the pizza and we were like so excited, yeah, and then she'll go on pizza conventions. It's crazy.
Speaker 3Yeah, it was crazy. Yes, do you know about those pizza?
Speaker 1conventions. Yeah, yeah, we're not going to share the pizza conventions. We're not going to share those. Yeah, she's just some.
Speaker 3She's I think that's enough.
Speaker 1I think we wanted a coupon.
Speaker 4I want a pizza girl, A free small pizza.
Speaker 1All right, myrna, your turn. What is something from your 20s or 30s that you didn't get to do, that now you're hoping to do?
Speaker 2Fudge? That's a deep question, god, I don't even know. Honestly, I got, I left my house, or I guess I would just say I got kicked out of my house early on. So I there's a lot of things that I didn't get to do. I think the biggest one was, you know, unfortunately having to drop out of school and not finish my medical. I actually wanted to be a paramedic, oh, but life changed drastically for me, so unfortunately, I didn't get to do a lot of the things I wanted to do early on in life. God, I really don't know. I mean, if I take from 25 forward and think about that, I would say I have not accomplished the things I want to do. There's like I'm currently back in school and I'm doing my construction AS or BS or whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 2I like to call it BS, you know, and I'm also serving on certain boards and whatnot, things that make me happy. I'm trying to live life without regrets. I think, actually, after my father passed away which God, what was that? It seems like it's been forever.
Speaker 3I want to say it's like in 2019, right, yeah, six years, six years, already, six.
Speaker 2I watch my father work every single day of his life, from, like you know, when the sun would come up Actually, before the sun would come up, and until the sun went down, he was always working around the clock and he worked in the fields. It was hard work and he spent his whole life working. The only reason he stopped is because he got a heart attack, and I don't want that to be me, you know, and I want to live life so honestly. You know, when this came up, I had already made up my mind that when I hit 50, I was going to go on adventures on my own. There's one particular thing that I really am dying to do, and that's hike across the Pacific Crest, and that's like a three-month journey, oh my God. And so I'm like I have to get it done, because that's like on my bucket list. I don't want to die without doing that. So I just, I guess I just don't want to live life with regrets. Yeah, I don't want to have any regrets. Yeah, I don't want to have any regrets.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's fair. I can vouch for you that. I feel like you do that. Yeah, I feel like, yeah, like you're that type of person and like gosh, like she just goes, like wherever she wants, whatever she wants to do, and, yeah, like you're, let's just do it, let's go. Who cares wants to do? And yeah, you're like you're, let's just do it, let's go. Who cares? Like, yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1Well, the one thing about my, one thing about my tia mirna she's always happy. I've never seen this lady not happy, whether she really felt it or not. I've never seen her unhappy. Yeah, she's always smiling and laughing in the life of the party and marina's one of those people. You can like feel the love coming off of her. So, like you can feel her, you're around her and you're like, oh, she loves me, I'm related to her. I know she has to love me, but even other people, that's true, she doesn't, she doesn't have to, but she does. But like you feel it. Or like her kids have all the, have all their friends, come over and they're like her house is like the party house. Because you feel it, you walk in and you're like, oh, some, I love it here and it's because they love you.
Speaker 1She loves you back and she means it yeah I can feel it yeah, that's the first impression that I got too was like, oh, this person is like such a positive force, like I want to be around her all the time, like I remember that one time that we jumped in the pool at the old house, right, and it was like, oh, you guys were both drunk and no, it was just, let's do something the vibes were right because we cray cray right, yeah, because we kind of cray-cray, but why not?
Speaker 1Yeah, this is something crazy and fun and it's a freaking memory and I feel like that's what this whole trip was about, really Like, let's go, Okay, let's go. Okay, let's get tattoos, okay, let's do that. And there we were that night getting tattoos, except for pineapple. No, no, pussy over there.
Speaker 3Call me pineapple pussy, that's what I'm going to call myself, but, but, but, you know, I just have a strong belief not to tattoo yourself.
Speaker 2I don't know why, my dad Even though your dad was covered in tattoos, girl, but you know what? Including a sailor with kitties hanging out on his arm, but women, it looked like he was dancing when he moved, but you know what, including a sailor with kitties hanging out on his arm.
Speaker 3But women. I remember when my daughter got her tattoos and my dad noticed them. He's all like. Only women of the street get tattoos, dang $20.
Speaker 1Well, you don't have tattoos, trina, but you're a woman of the street. Yeah, I am, ooh, I am. That's good, except for on this trip. She didn't want to make any super friends.
Speaker 3No super friends for me. I'm sorry, these people could have been murdered. What's a super friend? Okay, everybody let them know what a super friend is, I did not get one, mind you. Oh, because you didn't want to, you could have had a super friend too, girlfriend.

Like we can be really cool friends, really cool friends, especially while I'm here, you're, you're from here, I don't know, we don't know what's going on. Yeah, let's just be really good friends, like super and uh and was he down to be a super friend or he was not down? Yes and no. Like I think he's just a little, like, yeah, I don't know how to explain it, it's just a kid. He's, yeah, a young guy who he was trying to get his bag and you weren't trying to give him a bag.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was not a guy. I was not. I would be your super friend and then some, yeah, but I said I was not like what am I gonna do?
Speaker 1teach him how to walk, like, oh, that's enough, that's enough. I don't want a super friend either. Now, that's funny and trina did not like it.

Speaker 3when she hit the brake, oh my God. And then she hit the brake and instead of hitting the normal button, she hit the accelerator. We hop into the air, do a jump and we almost go over a cliff or whatever in the jungle or whatever she's a volcano girl.
Speaker 1So then what happened after that? Nothing what happened after that come on now pineapple.
Speaker 2What happened? What happened?
Speaker 1So then she said I urinated on her. We're not going to say it, but when Maida got off that ATV she was a little wet, and so was Trina. It was her.
Speaker 3You're right. You're right. We're not going to say it, but no way yeah. I was so scared. No way, yeah, I was so scared, no way Was.
Speaker 1Maida mad. No, no, you know why?
Speaker 2Because she knew it was her fault.
Speaker 3Because she had almost lowered to the volcano hey, that's real.
Speaker 1It was scary. I'd be so mad though I'd be so mad Anyway.
Speaker 4so as the story continues right.
Speaker 1So then, once you get to the like, once you get to the base of the volcano, you go up, you have to walk up to the damn volcano and this girl has trouble walking. So she said everyone was like you can do this. And myrna was like really positive and so she's like okay. So she started walking up. As soon as she got to the top, she fell, she fell and there was a Fell like tripped over something or like just fell.
Speaker 3No, I fell Just trying to get out, my knees gave out, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1And so the guide had to like help her up, and his name was Juanito and he said he professed his love to her. You're such a liar, they are lying. And she said I will, I will, I will, I'll take you, I don't like to be blind, no way. So he had to carry her back down, he literally.
Speaker 3He didn't carry me. I held on to his backpack as he led me down all the way down the fucking volcano.
Speaker 1So he was Still in your peep course. You guys were literally no, that was after oh okay, oh okay, yeah. And then she felt so bad she like tipped him and said, yeah, for your plane ride to the united states. Oh no, she gave him her phone number.
Speaker 3His name was juanito dang I didn't even know a thing, but they did.
Speaker 4Shout him out, shout him out. Juanito from Costa Rica, shout out, we'll put a picture of Juanito and Trina.
Speaker 3No, we will not. Literally.
Speaker 1How are people going to know?
Speaker 3when the wedding is coming, they have to use context. Yeah.
Speaker 1It's your one month anniversary.
Speaker 4Don't be rude.
Speaker 2Don't be rude, are you?
Speaker 1right.
Speaker 3What do you want to tell him? Send him a message, trina, send your honey in Costa Rica some love girl.
Speaker 2He waited for his visa.
Speaker 3You need to lay off the beer. You still have a beer belly, even though you track up that damn man on every fucking day.
Speaker 1Even though he picked me at her.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, Trina fell up there too as if I wasn't thinking I was beauty queen. I don't know how she fell.
Speaker 1I don't know how'd you feel? Gracefully, really, I felt okay. First of all, I fall all the time, drunk, sober, walking down the street. I fall, fall all the time, right, so I know how to fall, so I'm a pro at it. She said so I fall with grace. Yeah, so Mayra, mirna and Mary Helen were like at the edge of, like the mountain, the volcano, yeah, at the edge of the volcano mountain, and I was like, oh man, man, those pictures are gonna look great. I need to go. I went for myself, I need to do. She started running and she fell. No, come on, girl, I don't run. She said do you think I'd be running?
Speaker 2but there's like all these rocks, yeah, right and um like all these rocks, yeah right and um, you said, one thing led to another and I was on the floor I felt no, but it was a big rock.
Speaker 1And then juanito said mi amor, ahorita vengo. And so he went and helped trina, and then he yelled I mean, he's like don't move, yeah, you stay right here, don't go anywhere. So he had a thing for trina. Yeah, or the trinas just couldn't stop falling for him.
Speaker 3Like me, he liked her, he liked her, he did not.
Speaker 4He did not oh, I'm gonna send you a picture, martin, so you can for context.
Speaker 1No, she has a new number now because she got a phone.
Speaker 3So it's no, it's the same number so he still has it.
Speaker 4She said don't worry, he doesn't have my number right no, literally no, no, okay.
Speaker 1do you have a second question how do you define freedom At your stage of life? What is freedom?
Speaker 3you probably have it a lot more than anybody else. What?
Speaker 1I think everyone has their own.
Speaker 3Well, because, like for me, like I said, I never really answered anybody so you've always been free, I've always been free.
Speaker 1Not even then it doesn't have to be that.
Speaker 3It could be other things too, but it would be the same For me at least, because I just always did what I wanted to do. People always judged me, but I didn't care. Real, fuck, you go look somewhere else. Real, but yeah, anyone. People talk shit, but whatever I do me, that's it. You know?
Speaker 2honestly, I think freedom is not just financial, it's mental well-being, right, it's being able to live out loud, do what you want to do, like Trina mentioned. You know it's just not giving a damn. You can't yeah.
Speaker 3About anything. Yeah, pretty much, you can't give a damn about whatever anybody else does.
Speaker 2I think we give up so much control every freaking day when we let other people determine how we're going to move, what we're going to do. Yeah, and so a long time ago, if I ever did really even care. I just don't put, yeah, I don't invest much time into other people's thoughts, emotions in regards to my life. I care about people deeply, but I don't let them dictate who you are Exactly how I move right what I do with or without money, because I've been broke as hell.
Speaker 2Yep, I've been homeless, been there, done all of that, oh, I haven't been that bad yeah no, I've been there, girl.
Speaker 3My parents oh, I haven't been that bad. Yeah, no, I've been there, girl. My parents.
Speaker 2I've been there, Been there, and honestly, that's why I'm like to me when people's like, oh, with money's everything, it buys you freedom, and I'm like, does it no?
Speaker 3it doesn't.
Speaker 2It actually gives you more problems Right, like how many wealthy people do. We all literally could buy whatever the fuck they want and they're not happy. Yeah, they're bouncing off the walls like it's. It's sad. The other day I had got into an argument with someone over a property and came down to money. It really came down to money and I'm like, if this is what it looks like at the top to be wealthy, I don't want none of it. Yeah, I'm happy being me not worried about money at all like I.
Speaker 3I just it comes and goes, don't want it. Yeah, it comes and goes.
Speaker 2Yeah, money comes and goes like my father did whatever the world he wanted, came and went like I remember him just putting I don't even know like I guess 20 bucks, whatever it was, back then in the day to fill up the tank and he'd say, let's see how far this could take us. And it was such an adventure, it was so freeing and I guess when I think about what it is to be free and live, I always think about dad, because my dad was the best example to me of what life is like, what it should be like.
Speaker 3Which is so funny, because my dad was totally different.
Speaker 2He was Totally different, I mean we're all different, though.
Speaker 1Right, and they were cousins, right they were direct cousins.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, my dad actually lived. My dad and mom lived with your family for a while when we got here right, because I'm first generation born here. My parents came from mexico. I always tell people I was made in mexico but born here, literally because my mom was three months pregnant when she came over. Yeah, but we're all different, right? I'm? Oh, that's a great question. I just like to.
Speaker 1I want to live out loud, live life, no regrets I think for me, like there's, there's a, there's a quote by, like one of my favorite authors and like political activists, and it says something like, um, caring for myself is not an act of self-indulgence, it's an act of political warfare. And so like for me and that's audrey lord, right, but for me, like that's, that's what that means, like caring for myself means like that's what freedom is, like being able to take care of myself mentally, physically, um, financially and emotionally. That's freedom for me. And like, yeah, money comes and goes, but it sure does help, right, but being able to say you know what, I don't think that's my jam right now. I don't think like I belong there. I don't think that that's gonna be okay for me in a couple days if I'm in that space with these people or doing this thing that I really don't want to do or show up to. I think that's freedom. And I think, like, the older I get, like, the easier it is for me to be freer and saying it's not okay for me. Yeah, I think that's, that's true freedom.
Speaker 1I think I'm gonna piggyback off of you because I feel the same way like freedom, because I've been so like constrained, like in constraints with my feelings and like being able to express them and through therapy, of course, like I'm able to like, okay, well, let them, let them Like, if that's going to be their journey, like I'll support you through it. I'm here for you. I don't have to be part of you every day or whatever, but that's where I'm at with you, because I know like, again, I can't be in that space with you because it's going to fuck with my mental state and so, as long as I know you're good and that's a journey you're going on, I'll be here when you're ready to come back. But if you know I just can't, I can't put myself in that space. Yeah, and I agree with Miranda too it's like you know whoever I am to you, that's who I am. Like there's nothing that I can say or do or like bring like evidence for Like you're not going to try to convince everyone.
Speaker 1Yeah, I can't convince you. And like understanding that and knowing that, I think that's freedom too. I think that's part of it, understanding that and knowing that.
Speaker 2I think that's freedom too. I think that's part of it. I mean, don't we spend a lot of time and energy trying to get other people to love us, like us All that?
Speaker 1stuff, do you?
Speaker 2see us a certain way and I'm like what wasted energy. If you invested all that time and energy in yourself, imagine the power and the freedom that's living right, it's like it's it's. I understand to some extent, people caring about what other people think and say and do and whatnot, but it's also there's it's it's a constraint. You're investing too much energy and time into that person's state of mind, how they feel, what they think for what. Like be true to yourself, right, be real. Like if you want to be happy, then let all that go, because true freedom is just love. Like being you, being yourself.
Speaker 1Oh, and it's a process. Let me tell you, absolutely, it's a hard process. I'm like I know nothing of this'm like I know nothing of this, yet I know nothing of this yet.
Speaker 1Can't wait to be here, though you really can't I think, like once you hit 40, I think, I think that for me, like once I turned, no, I want to say like 39, 38, but 40 was like set in stone. Yeah, it was like all gas, no brakes, like it's about what's going to make me happy and make sense for my life. I think it's all. Whenever you find that character.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 1And it stages and helps you learn early on. Correct, yeah.
Speaker 4Correct, and then.
Speaker 1I think too, like I feel like at our age, our age, that that we're like in this, for me anyways, like that sandwich generation where, like I'm still have children that I'm responsible for and care for and whatnot, but also my parents, like they're older and I have to. You know, I have to make sure that's okay too.
Speaker 2so it's, it's a lot, a lot a yeah, I think it's choices too right, I like, okay, I have a house full of young adults and truly, if I, you know, decided to say you, young adults, you're adults. Figure it out, I could, because the reality I only have two under 18 right out of the nine, which one's an angel? But I always count my angel. So I always say nine. I know you're all probably counting and going, wait a minute, we only see eight, but I always count my angel. Um, I, I think it's a, it's a choice and it's one that I'm.
Speaker 2I'm starting to kind of like my young adults. Instead of being a crutch to them and continuing to allow them to feel it's okay to come and go and bounce, I'm going to start letting that go too to some extent, because I'm 50, girl, like I am the main provider for my household and there is days that I'm like I'm so over it, like you know, coming home, like I'm cleaning the house, I'm washing laundry and sometimes I'm doing my yard, I'm fixing the plumbing, you know like what the fudge? And then I'm still working full-time and I got a young adult in my house Like, come on, step it up. So the reason I'm mentioning this, mary Helen, and to my primas over here. It's like it's a choice, right, like we're making choices. It's not nobody Like I always tell my kids, like we're not in a third world country.
Speaker 2Right, like we can get up every single morning and choose how we want to navigate through our lives. And I get like we make a decision consciously to say, hey, I'm gonna go ahead and take care of x, y and z because I care about you, I love you, and I think it's a state of mind, though, that we got to go through, because, instead of looking at it as like there are nobody else is doing doing it. It's like a privilege, sometimes too right, like I feel like okay, there's times that I'm reminded too like, okay, I'm looking at my kids going. Okay, god, you gave me all these wonderful kids.
Speaker 1Thank you for my angels, but damn, give me a break, but I think it doesn't stop though, because, like my doesn't 24 and I'm like, what are you doing? Who you with, what do you need? And then she's like mom, what are you doing? Who you with, what do you need? You know what I mean. Like it, like once you're a parent, you're in it for life. Well, how old's your oldest now?
Speaker 230, 30 and she's engaged well, her birthday's coming up on the 26th and she's engaged. Well, her birthday's coming up on the 26th and she's engaged. She's currently home with me. You know her and her fiance. They are going to try and establish their own thing here, hopefully very soon. But you're right, it's like it's never ending.
Advice to Your Younger Self
Speaker 2But the one beautiful thing that I can say that I've decided to set some boundaries and say, okay, you're a couple, you got your own thing going. I'm not going to interfere. I'm going to choose to hear you out when you want to talk to me. I'm not going to ask questions, I'm not going to stress and worry about you no more, because you're in a relationship. But I'm here, I literally always. I guess I was telling someone the other day it's like I usually will put a circle around them imaginary circle and say you can bounce between within the circle, bounce all you want, but once you go beyond the circle then I'm going to have to pull you back in. But it's more of a choice because I need the security, I need the safety of knowing they're still in a certain in. But it's more of a choice because I need the security, I need the safety of knowing they're still in a certain perimeter. Does that sound kind of crazy?
Speaker 1No, it's the same thing that I was trying to say, but you said it way better than I did. It's like yeah, you have your own story, you're an adult, you're building your own life. You're still my child, you're still my kid. I still have to worry about you and be there for you and make sure that you're okay, because if you're not okay, I'm not okay.
Speaker 2Like okay, the one thing though have you ladies ever done this? Like your own experiences, what you've gone through? Like okay for me the fact that all my kids are home and they know they can always come home. Why? Because I was homeless. I got kicked out of my home and was homeless. So for me I'm like come home, just come home. Like I'm always going to have an open door for you. Like we'll always figure it out here as long as we have a roof over our heads. And then there's times that they're sharing certain things they want to do with me and I'm like I panic, I get scared and I want to tell them don't do it. But I don't. I stop because I think sometimes our own experiences and failures and everything that we've ever gone through, we think they're going to go through it, but then I'm reminded like they got to figure it out, and just because I fail doesn't mean they're going to fail. They very well could succeed. So let them fly.
Speaker 3Oh my God, you're brave.
Speaker 1I can't do that and I think that's a hard transition, I think, from mothering and being in that space to now them being adults, like okay. But I think that I've built a good enough relationship with my kids that like wrong, right or indifferent now that they can come to me and hopefully, like you know, we have a good enough friendship to where, like now, I can be that sounding board and they don't have to feel I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong, but like I don't, they don't have to feel like I'm, they're judged, I'm like you guys, you figure that out, I'm here, I have your back, no matter what. But that's like sometimes, like you have to figure that out, I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 3I'm here to listen. I'm here to listen. Does everybody know that she's?
Speaker 1she's your yeah, I think so it's my mom, mommy but, I've had that conversation with with Isis too and I've been like she said something like a couple years back. She's like well, I feel like you're judging me. I was like, dude, I had you when I was 17. Like who am I to judge?
Speaker 1you that I have no leg to stand on. I'm not Jesus, you know, and um, and ever since we had that conversation, the things have been better. Like she, you know, tells me things and but I think it's just because I was so hard on her when she was younger. It's hard to seem like a human, rather than I think that's right. So I'm, I'm the oldest of four. My mom, my lovely mother, um, her and my dad were the same age. I mean, they were 20, right, it's turning 21, turning 21, so they had me pretty young. Um, my brother I'm in my brother's phone as experiment number one and I truly feel like I was an experiment, like I got the.
Speaker 1I was like a true first kid, first born kid, yeah, and I feel like like my dad spoiled well, no, well, yeah, you were spoiled, yeah, but my dad, my dad, was working well, my dad worked hard, my parents worked hard, he did. My dad worked really hard. He had a full-time job. My mom, my mom, has always worked. My mom went to school and they like tag teamed it. My mom worked when my mom went to school, my dad worked when my mom went to school, and then we were like a two-income household. So like I was by no means had a different difficult childhood.
Speaker 1No, but I think it is hard when I was the oldest and I had first I was an oldest child, I'm an oldest kid and I a girl, and I was raised by a firstborn girl who was raised by a firstborn girl to like have it in me where my dad worked and me and my mom tag teamed the kids, like I felt like the kids were my kids.
Speaker 1So it was really hard for me to like not come to my mom and say, hey, I have these things. But I felt like we were a team and like there was nothing, not that I I would like. If I came to her with a problem, I felt like she would be like, oh well, she's not, she can't help me. Then, like I didn't want to not be helpful oh, okay, you know what I'm trying to say Like I didn't. I didn't want to show her that. Like, oh, I was having a, I was having a problem with this. And then she'd be like, well, I don't want to there for her. And then, as I got older I think it was the same process like we got older, my parents separate, or whatever and I feel like then I was like okay, I, I, this doesn't affect me as bad as you think it does, so you can talk to me if you need to, or like we can talk. However, so I feel like now that we're both past it, we're both out of it and we're both and I moved out and I live with like I moved out and I think that helped a lot too was like the actual separation of it, because now I can call my mom, me and my mom talk like three times a day, yeah we talk on the way to work, we talk at her lunch and we talk on our way
Speaker 1home because she's like what's gonna happen when you're? Who am I supposed to talk to three times a day? And I feel like now it's less. Sometimes I wish sometimes I'll call her and there is a problem. Or like I'm fighting with martin, and not that I'm running to her, but I'm like am I fucking crazy? And she's like, well, I can't say you're crazy, but like I'll listen to you. Like I'm not going to tell you whether you're crazy or not, but I'll listen to you if you want to vent about it. Like so I feel like now we're more friends than we are. Yeah, like I know I can come to her and she's not gonna judge me, although sometimes I do want her to give me a damn answer, so I don't have to make a choice myself. But then what am I doing?
Speaker 1yeah, just say it though that's what you want to tell her like, hey, I want an answer this time around well, I tell her and I'm like can you what I would do yeah, she's gotten really good at this is what I would do, but I'm not telling you what to do. Yeah, but sometimes I'll be like I don't know what to do. Can you tell me what to do? Like when I was in school, when I was picking classes or I was like trying to figure out what career path I was, like, can you tell me what to do? And she's like no, you need to know what you want to do?
Speaker 3I wish my kid would have asked me that before he got this tattoo this is a real big moment in trina's life.
Speaker 1Right now I have a cousin her son just turned 20 the neck tattoo and got it. He got a neck tattoo. It is of his grandpa's name, like uh doesn't matter, but it is on, but it is on his neck and it is on his neck and it is very visible tattoo. I'm anti and trina's anti-tattoo she's really yeah, my daughter.
Speaker 3We went to vegas and my came back. My daughter had two big tattoos on her. I know she's covered shoulders.
Speaker 2so what's the difference between your girl and your son? Your girl's covered in tattoos, girlfriend. Hello, if you haven't noticed, yes, I know, but she's an adult.
Speaker 3Oh, tyler's 20.
Speaker 4He's 20.
Speaker 3He is, but he's not. He is too. These are my two young babies.
Speaker 2He's still a man, my young two are my babies.
Speaker 1Yeah, no, and he's also moved out. He's also not living with you. He's also.
Speaker 3You're right, you're right, he lives with his aunt, he and your mom have a girlfriend or a few?
Speaker 2Oh my God Girl.
Speaker 1You don't want to know about Tyler. No, we don't want to know about Tyler. You don't want to know about Tyler. No, we don't want to know about.
Speaker 4Tyler. You don't want to know about Tyler. He's probably on his own pizza conventions.
Speaker 1All the flavors, girlfriend. All the flavors. That's enough. That's enough. Easy, on my cousin Tyler now. Anyways, you need another beer. She said. I need a shot after thinking about this damn thing. It's not about controlling others, it's about saying these are my boundaries. This is how I feel and I don't know if you know. This is how I feel, but I would like you to know this and whether it matters to you or not, that that's on you, but at least I'm telling you what that is, because, like, I hate being in a room with someone or being around someone and being like, oh, I can't stand you right now, I don't want to be here with you, I can't look at you. I feel like some type of way Like why even be there? Yeah, right, and maybe it's different when you have siblings and I don't have siblings, right, but have siblings and I don't have siblings, right. But like I know, like with the regular person, like with anybody else, I would be like, no, I don't, I'm good, I'm not.
Speaker 1Yeah, guilt's a crazy thing, yeah it is and I think, I think, like for me right, like the expectation is that because I'm an only child, because my daughter's only grandchild, like I, like I'm going to, I was going to like the expectation was that I was going to stay in the Central Valley and not do what I wanted to do and not move, and I feel guilty about it all the time.
Speaker 1I feel guilty like I should be there going with my mom to her doctor's appointments or even knowing like if she has one or not. And I feel guilty because I feel like I put it on my daughter.
Speaker 1But that's me, that's all internal, because I've had those conversations with both, like with my mom and her, and they've been like no, we love that you have moved and that you're, that you chase your dreams, and we love that for you. But it's also like, yeah, but I'm not there for everyday shit. I'm not there every day to make sure that you all are okay, and that's a guilt that I live with every day, even though they have told me it's okay, don't be guilty about it. Don't feel guilty, don't feel a certain way, or you shouldn't feel a certain way, I still do. Yeah, guilt is crazy when this one's too, because a lot of you, a lot of you guys, well, you guys all have kids. So, like, now that your kids are mostly grown, you guys are still mothering, but now that your kids are mostly grown, what? I forgot the question, sorry.
Speaker 2I'm actually happy. The question is kind of confusing to me because to me, I'm actually happy giving to those that I choose to. It's like it's a choice and I love giving my time, my energy, my knowledge or lack of my space, with people. You know, yeah, my children are grown and everything, but they still are bouncing within my walls and so I continue to give them as much as I can. Sometimes, like okay, right now that we have everybody back at home crazy, I'm living in the smallest room in the house. Why? Because at the end of the day, if my kids are happy, I'm happy, right, and when I'm not giving to my kiddos, I'm giving to my community and it feeds my soul. I really feel like it's not a bad thing. So I'm a little confused on the question.
Speaker 4Well, I think it's down to the heart.
Speaker 1Yeah For others and that's fair too.
Speaker 2Yeah, it fills my cup and I don't feel guilt. I don't live or give space to guilt. It's not for me. I don't own that kind of stuff because it just doesn't do anything for me. So I guess that's why I'm having trouble with this question, because guilt's not something I just don't feel, that that's something you give energy and time to. It doesn't do anything.
Speaker 1I love that for you. I really do, I really do. Teach me how to be like you. No, I really do, sorry, no, no, for real teach me how to teach me how to you guys have something to share?
Speaker 1I'm really thinking about this question and I kind of feel like me now, but I also feel like, like, when you give to others, it feels really dope, right, like you see someone struggling and it's like, okay, well, if I can help you, I'm going to help you. And whether it's your kids, family member, friend, you know some someone that you don't know, um, even if it's like a kind word, right, like I think, like when you give to others, it just like fills your cup more, um, but I also feel like, if you're not doing for yourself, then how can you do for other people, right? So I think, like doing what makes me happy and like living the best way that makes me smile every day and makes me feel like I'm doing okay, I think that like just helps me give to others like tenfold. Yeah, I love that. Like just helps me give to others like tenfold, yeah, so I love that.
Speaker 1You, mary Ellen, read the question again. Well, I think it's it's's funny that, um, the other day, or a couple weeks ago, um, I was doing out doing something, I was at the beach, I was at somewhere, or even, I think, costa rica and the girls text me separately and they're're I love this, you're living your best life. Both of you said it and it was just. It was funny because they text me at different times and just doing what I want to do and like I have raised the kids and I'm still raising kids, but like being able to have that a little bit of freedom to do like what I want to do. I want to go out and dance every Friday and Saturday night. That's what I'm going to do. I want to go and she does.
Speaker 3I want to go to the beach.
Speaker 1I want to go to Costa Rica. That's what I'm going to do, and I just thinking that, just being able to do what I want.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know it makes me so happy to see you doing that, mary helen, because, uh, I know my sister's not here. Maida, yeah, but maida too, just um is on a different journey. She closed a chapter I'm not gonna tell her story because that's her story to tell but she's at a new, whole nother chapter of her life and she's finally living, living like really living. Yeah, right, like you girls have seen that, I think for a really long time she was trying to be someone. She wasn't to make another individual happy, right, and she I. It was hard for me to watch her because I felt like every single day she was dying, a little piece of her was dying as she kept trying to give to this other person and and trying to be something she wasn't to fit into that mold yeah and it's like it's so hard to watch women and men because even my own young men I see them do that at times and it's not a win situation for them.
Speaker 2They end up losing themselves and it's hard. So I'm I'm really happy for you, marihuana, that you're doing, you're living your best life as your daughters say I like that good for you yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1Thank you. I know what about you, trina, she forgot the question. Read it again. Read it again, please I know. I know, or juanito no she's always thinking about juanito man, I guess her man. Okay, go ahead. What does it mean to truly own your life after giving so much of it to others in your life? After giving so much of it to others, let it out. Girlfriend, I wish I had tissues to give you. Mother. How do you give tissues? I know damn it.
Speaker 4Grab the pillow.
Speaker 1Grab the pillow.
Speaker 3They're the blanket back there.
Speaker 1I mean, I don't know, grab the pillow, grab the blanket back there.
Speaker 3Jenny's funny though I mean I don't know, I feel like I still give my life to everybody, to the kids, even though they're not with me. They're with me all the time. I do so much for them. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them.
Speaker 4Yeah, there's nothing I wouldn't do for them, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1Ew, mm-hmm, would you get a tattoo for them though?
Speaker 4No.
Speaker 1So there's one fucking thing.
Speaker 3That's the thing I would not. There's nothing you wouldn't do for them. Come on now, girl. Nothing, but not a tattoo, you said.
Speaker 2I lied, that's one thing right here, like this, like a necklace, like a necklace, all your kids when we go to japan.
Speaker 3Maybe I'll get something. My daughter wants us all to get a family tattoo and she wants to do it when we go to japan, so we'll see whatever the moment they turn the gun on it, it's over.
Speaker 2You're going to be running out the shop.
Speaker 3I'm going to be passed out is what I'm going to be, but I don't know, I don't. I just do so much yeah.
Speaker 2Period. You know what, gina? I don't know, but I have to say, like you were there for your dad, day in, day out, raising your kids yeah, trying to take care of you. Yeah, your dad, day in, day out, raising your kids, trying to take care of you. You probably thought nobody saw you. I saw you. I don't know if your sister did or not, but, girl, we saw you. And I feel like part of those tears you're crying right now is because you missed your dad and you were there taking care of him. You did a lot for him. Yeah, I did A lot, and you have your dad and you were there taking care of him.
Speaker 2You did a lot for him. Yeah, I did A lot, and you have no regrets, right? No, absolutely not. No, girl.
Speaker 3You did that. I used to take him to Pismo just to go have lunch. I know A fuerza, A fuerza girl.
Speaker 2You drag that man. He'd be like, oh, she did it again. I see those pictures. I'm like you can tell he's mad, but he loves it. Yeah, those are really cool pictures. Trina, you did that girl, you did it.
Speaker 2He took my kids everywhere too. Yeah, he did, even though at first I have to say, trina, I have to say at first he didn't want to. Though what At the beginning? Take my kids everywhere At the very beginning, when they were little little. No, when they were little little, and it was really cool to see, over the years, them grow on your dad, because your dad was not much of one to show expression, and when he'd smile I'm like, oh, they got him.
Speaker 2True, true, true. Your kids spent so much time with them and, honestly, seeing the tattoo of your dad's name on your son made me emotional Because, honestly, your dad got to see your kids grow from little Like he. I feel like he helped raise your kid's girlfriend he did and you're like he was very much a part of their lives and what I mean. God, that is a beautiful thing to have your dad's like they. They, he put a tattoo on his neck of your father's name. Nobody else, not some chick, not you. It doesn't say I love mom On the table, Trina On the table what?
Speaker 2It's all you girl. Yeah Well, you should be proud of your son. I think that's like it speaks a lot about you and your dad and girl. You're going to come back with a tattoo from Japan. Yeah, you are.
Speaker 3Maybe, maybe maybe It'll be a dot. It'll be a dot, it'll be a dot. Okay, that's all I could take, I think. I think that's all I could be able to take. You can do it.
Speaker 1You can do it. You can get one. Yeah, you can do it. You can do it. Yeah, you can do it. Until you get one, you'll be fine. You took your kids everywhere, and then you took my brother.
Speaker 3Oh, yes, bless your soul, let me tell you they used to have a farting contest in the back seat. That's sick. I know it's gross, and you had to suffer through it with my father and my father sitting quiet. Your mom's driving. I love that Everywhere. I think there's the last one, but I think we've always been close like that. What We've always been close, our whole family. We do everything together. Well, for the most part, we do everything.
Speaker 1We try to, but we need to do better. Sometimes we do. We need to do better.
Speaker 3We should do like a reunion, with the whole family going down the river rafting thing. I thought you were going to say Vegas. No, not Vegas, vegas would be so much fun, sign me up.
Speaker 2I'm a cousin now. No, not Vegas. Vegas is not my thing. I'm a cousin now.
Speaker 1No, not Vegas girl, vegas is not my thing. I'm going to river rafting in Vegas, just an FYI.
Speaker 2What? No, you could do both of those.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, In Vegas. No, no, she's saying for the family where you live. No, she said they'll do both with us. Yeah.
Speaker 3I'm going to do both all as a group.
Speaker 4Get together.
Speaker 3All the families get their own rafts and just go down the river.
Speaker 1I fear some of us would like that and some of us would fucking hate that. Yeah, my sister for one would hate it. Yeah, maybe we can start it like a picnic. Let's start at a central place first. She does not like camping.
Speaker 2Because you know there's a perfect hotel down the street. Like why would she rough it on the dirt period? That's not her thing at all, that's my thing. I love it. I like to rough it too, me too we'll brainstorm the whole family reunion thing.
Speaker 1I'm down, yeah, maybe not really rafting though I believe we have one last question, ladies. I don't know what it is, and I fear it's. The last one is what is a piece of advice you'd give to your younger self?
Speaker 2Ask Pineapple over there first.
Speaker 1And if the tears are rolling, my brother's in the room and he can grab some tissues.
Speaker 3Oh God, they don't have to roll.
Speaker 1They can.
Speaker 3To my younger self.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3Man I don't know. Come on, pineapple Pussy you got this?
Speaker 2I don't know, Come on. Pineapple pussy, you got this.
Speaker 3I don't know, Come on if you can do pineapple out of that bag, Don't have pineapple pussy. I guess no, come on, girl Diggy.
Speaker 1That's really good advice. That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 3People don't know what pineapple pussy means. Does someone want to?
Speaker 1explain this pineapple no one wants to explain it. Absolutely not. If you, well, if you know, you know, and I guess listeners you guys do not know. Yeah, from the convention, from all the friends no, I don't know what I do what would you tell your younger self?
Speaker 3what would I tell my younger self? I can't tell myself to party more because I've done enough of that. What? All right, okay. So what would you say?
Speaker 2Yeah, walking out, that does not count as partying girlfriend. This thin, this thin, having one drink, one drink and it's over, that's okay.
Speaker 3I didn't start drinking until I was 40, so you need to calm down. Oh gosh, I didn't develop a tolerance for drinking, a tolerance that's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1Right, right, right. What's that like? I'm trying to see what that means.
Speaker 3I don't know, trying to almost not make it on the damn plane because you're drunk. Could that be it?
Speaker 1Oh, wow, wow, just telling all my business. Oh, I'm sorry. Well, we said her marriage, so it's her runbacks, and I believe you lost her phone, I know.
Speaker 2Wait a minute. I heard somebody had their moon out.
Speaker 1On the way to the airport. Somebody's ass was out on the way to the airport. I don't know. It was all Trina. I don't know, it was all Trina. Damn Trina, trina.
Speaker 3Oh, I heard this story.
Speaker 1I heard it, it was Trina.
Speaker 3Hart, yes, not Trina E.
Speaker 1They're never going to see me again. I had to pee, it's fine. To be honest, we were deadlocked in traffic. Yeah, she said sacrifices had to be made and I made it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3I was fighting for my life.
Speaker 1all week I was fighting for my life all week. Advice to your younger self guys, not to traffic on the highway. I would say, do it, because they're never going to see you again. They're never going to see you again. I would say, which I'm learning to do as I get older is don't worry too much about what people think, say or do. Yeah, and that is fucking hard, let me tell you that would be good, but Trina said you need that. No, but I'm learning that, but it's still a process. It's hard.
Speaker 1I love that Somebody else you?
Speaker 2have something. Yet I just keep thinking about my dad. There was just something that happened to me at a young age and I I wanted my father to be my hero and that was not the case, unfortunately. In that situation and I felt you know, if you think about feeling guilty I felt like I did something wrong for him to choose not to be my hero and love me. So if I had to give advice to my younger self, that is just the circumstances at that moment. It wasn't that he didn't love me. He always did love me. I was his princess.
Speaker 2I think I just would to forgive. I wish he was here, but he's not. I know he hears me. I just I guess that he always loved me. Just don't, I guess, let certain things that occur when you're younger define the rest of your life, because you can end up having a lot of regrets and wasting time by giving that kind of thing so much energy and emotion. Right Like I let so much time go by because I didn't know how to get past that moment in life. So I wish I would have been able to forgive and swallowed my pride and went back and said hey, I know you still love me. Let's talk about what happened and get past it, because I wasted like five years of my life.
Speaker 1Hmm, I think I would tell my younger self not to worry so much, because things always have a way of working out, true, and we can plan and schedule things out and calendar things out, but at the end of the day, it's not up to us, it's up to God, and the universe and all of that. So just enjoy the moments that you have, because life is so short then you get older and life is so short.
Speaker 1Yeah, and like, the people that were in your life five years ago might not be in your life today, right, and there's people that we miss, that are not here with us anymore, and so just enjoy them, but you have them and make fucking memories oh yeah, let me see, life is too short, like I don't know.
Speaker 2But I know I'm 50, but I feel like I got another 50 still left in me somewhere, because my body says otherwise it passes by really quick, though.
Speaker 1Well, not only that you could be gone. How many times have you had like altering experiences?
Speaker 2Yeah, I think that's why I feel like that, because, honestly, at the end of the day, god determines when I get to go home, not I, right, not this universe. It's when God says it's time.
Speaker 1That's what I mean when life is short, like when I say life is short like we don't determine you could be gone tomorrow. Yeah, you could be gone tomorrow and like here I am like arguing with someone about something trivial today, yeah, when it doesn't even tomorrow, it's not going to matter, yeah.
Speaker 2But for today, right. Yeah, that also goes with like, don't leave anything unsaid, right, the things that if you want to tell somebody you love them, that you care about them or that they made you angry, why not go ahead?
Speaker 4and talk about it, right.
Speaker 2Because, yeah, you're right, yeah, it's a split second, Like the stupid car accidents. I've been in the motorcycle accident. I'm like that's literally a split second thing that changes and alters your life, and so I would end up regretting leaving this earth without telling people certain things. So I try and practice that more than I ever have is to be able to tell people, especially those that I care about, how I feel, what I think, what I want, what I don't want, what makes me happy, what doesn't. I care and I don't care. I don't know if that makes sense.
Speaker 1No, it does. I care about you enough to share my feelings or my? Thoughts or make a comment or let you know what's going on inside my head, but I don't care how you're going to take it, right, yeah?
Speaker 2That's for them to own it. Yeah, yeah, which is a good balance to have? Oh, absolutely, yeah, I don't think you didn't answer the question I was going to say right now, I was going to say, like I think you're, last you thought, say right now.
Speaker 1I was gonna say like I think you're last you thought you got away.
Speaker 4What do you mean? No, what is?
Speaker 3something you tell your younger self bro I don't know like I'm so indecisive and just whatever, but um, like things are gonna happen and it just happens. You really don't have control of what you do, like you do, but you don't you know what I mean.
Speaker 1I think we have to have a therapy session after this.
Speaker 4Yeah, we really do.
Speaker 1I thought it was going to be me crying almost, but yeah.
Speaker 3I don't want to regret anything that I've done. I don't think I have really. You know, I just love my kids. It's all about my kids For me.
Speaker 2What's making you emotional, like what's making you want to cry Trina, like there's something deep that you're not sharing. What is it about your kids? Because I know it's not the DM tattoo.
Speaker 3It is not the DM tattoo.
Speaker 2Please tell me it's not the DM tattoo.
Speaker 3Callate cabrona. There's no way.
Speaker 4it's the tattoo I think she was traumatized with tattoos twice because we got ours and she didn't, and then she came home and he had his.
Speaker 1When she was on a trip and she came home and her kid had a tattoo. Her oldest yeah, her daughter did the same thing. She was on a trip and came home and had a tattoo.
Speaker 3So maybe just Please tell me that's not it. I hate tattoos, tattoos.
Speaker 1No, you are not trying this hard, and I think out of your four kids, three of them now have tattoos, right? Yes? Why is this one so hard? I don't know. All right, and she's gonna be.
Speaker 3Tanner is my favorite. Who knows? No, he is what? No, he is, I know.
Speaker 1No, I think Dorian is hey, shout out, dorian.
Speaker 4Shout out.
Speaker 1Dodo, shout out Dodo.
Speaker 3It's all of them at the same time, oh my God, sissy and Marcus no. Sissy is like my sane one. She's the one that's always there Shout out.
Speaker 4Sissy.
Speaker 2How about your tattoos?
Speaker 3girlfriend. I know, I know, I know what's the difference? I don't know Because my two young ones.
Speaker 2They're just my babies. I don't get it, trina.
Speaker 3I don't get it either.
Speaker 1Well, I had to break it to you, but it's on them forever, so I know.
Speaker 2Cataract.
Speaker 3Like the one that you got on your foot. Oh, I know your fake tattoo. I took a shower and it was gone.
Speaker 2Can I ask a question Go ahead? Why did us who did get a tattoo choose to do it, and why did we all get the same word? I'm curious, why, why? It's like we just said, let's do it, and got it done. Why? Like there was no hesitation?
Speaker 3I know you guys were all we're gonna get a tattoo. I was thinking what the hell are they talking about?
Speaker 1okay, yeah, I want to know where did the idea come from. One and how quick from when the initial thought was let's get a tattoo to sitting at the tattoo parlor how fast did that. What are they doing? What are they doing Making appointments? I think at like noon we started.
Speaker 3Wait, you guys had appointments.
Speaker 4Well.
Speaker 1Maida figured it out. The tattoo shop closed at 7. Yeah, we were supposed to get up.
Speaker 3They called like this yeah, so my sister and I were like, hey, let's go get a tattoo.
Speaker 2And she's like, yeah, let's do it, we're like are you down Are?
Speaker 4you down, we share.
Speaker 2And then they're like yeah, and then Maida was researching, looking for a tattoo shop, found one and they were supposed to be closing soon, but they waited for us and then we were stuck in traffic, frickin' ever.
Speaker 4We were like what?
Speaker 215, 20 minutes late yeah.
Speaker 1I think even half an hour, and she still waited for us. We started that at noon yeah, like talking about it, and then by eight o'clock we were all tattooed.
Speaker 2Nine o'clock yeah, yeah something like that, but okay, but like you girls were like in it, like let's go, let's do it, and I'm like, wow, they're in, this is super cool. I thought, for sure, might, as like yeah, mighta, and I like, okay, we're cool, we're sisters. Right, we're gonna it done.
Speaker 1But when you two also, I'm like, why not?
Speaker 2And I thought for sure Pinche Trina was going to be in. I'm like this is a girl's thing Like this is our first trip together.
Speaker 3We're going to get chatted together. That's why I got the fake one, because I didn't want to feel left out.
Speaker 1So Trina got the stencil put on her foot so that she could be in the pictures. So if you ever don't look for their Facebooks, but if you ever come across the Costa Rica Facebook, all of them have a stencil, all of them have tattoos, except Trina who has a stencil on her foot. That's right, that's right. So what did you guys get done? Somebody say it.
Speaker 1So we got pura vida, which is like the saying in costa rica, and it means like a bunch of stuff, like it just means like, live your life, live life right, enjoy life. Like, savor the moment. All that stuff, yeah, I can say like, for me, the reason that I got it was like one like I don't want to be left out, I have fomo, fomo's real, that's so real of you. But the other reason, too, was like, like everyone has said, like it was just such like a monumental, memorable, beautiful, bonding women empowerment. Like, why not like commemorate that? Why not like look at my arm and be like yeah, I did that, we did that. We freaking, ziplined across the jungle, we went on atvs for three hours. We hiked a waterfall up and down me almost got sacrificed into a volcano.
Speaker 1Almost got sacrificed in a coffee volcano, like drove here and there in costa rica, like it's, it's a memorable experience, like, why not? Same thing, I was down, I'm down, I have tattoos, and so I'm like, oh, that's a great way to commemorate the experience and when we go on our next trip, and I'll get another one, oh my god mine's gonna go across right here are you gonna have a bucket place?
Speaker 3yeah, italy's next. Oh, my god, right, because we're going to italy next year.
Speaker 2Yes, we are, and they're just gonna continue that way. Okay, anybody want to share how we picked italy in the first place too?
Speaker 1oh yeah so we just there's someone, sure. So we just said well, like we really love this trip so far, let's plan our next one. Let's make this a yearly thing. So we got to pick two places that we wanted to potentially go to, we put them in a hat and then voila, italy, italy, it is. What were the other options? Do you guys remember? I think someone put barbados. My other option was um belize.
Speaker 3I put the south of France, I put Jamaica and Italy.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't even remember. I think Italy was one for sure, but it wasn't my Italy that got picked, somebody else picked. Italy. Yeah, by the handwriting we could tell it was somebody else's. And then Ireland, I think, was my other one that I had fun in there.
Speaker 3Interesting she's like uh-uh, noobs noobs what.
Speaker 1I'm glad it wasn't Ireland. She said I would go, but I wouldn't be happy about it.
Speaker 3She would rather go to Amsterdam, yeah.
Speaker 1Well, I want to go back to Costa Rica and do the Ayahuasca stuff, but you know, oh, that's a Is that the journey for? Italy, no, but you know, oh, that's it. Yeah, is that the journey for italy? That's enough. That's enough with your super friends, we don't need any super friends does anyone else have any questions, anything else they want to share?
Speaker 1I want to ask about the zip lines. Oh my god, scary, scary, scary. I want to ask heard so how many zip lines were there in total? And then how many of you guys completed it and how many did not?
Speaker 3We had 11. 11 of them, 11.
Speaker 2Yep, I'll let the ones who know.
Speaker 3So I had never been zip lining before in my entire life and I was proud of myself because I did two zip lines and you were high up and it was very scary for me, Although I got bit by a killer scorpion no, you did not. No, she didn't no, she did not, no, she didn't, no, but I love you yes, no no, no, she didn't, no, she did not no, she didn't.
Speaker 1Yes, I got married twice in costa rica, mind you she doesn't have tattoos, so she's not a woman of the streets. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, but so I finished two out of the 11. Myrna and maida finished the 11 out of 11.
Speaker 3I said done.
Speaker 1Two was good for me. It was kind of scary. It was scary, so did they keep getting taller or longer?
Speaker 2What was the thing? Longer and faster, longer and faster. As a matter of fact, I feel bad for my sister and the poor guy. I think it was number 10. He kept saying OK, okay, make sure that you break when I tell you to break, because if you break too early then we got to go and get you. That's what they did to me, right? And even though, well, you ladies I think like you ladies did it on purpose, like kids, you know what, when they go out there and get you, they wrap their legs around you and they're facing you and they're bringing you in.
Speaker 1I'm like damn, I like this a little too much. Eight, nine and ten.
Speaker 2I won't stop early so you can come get me handsome. No, but you know what? Honestly? So the number 10 I didn't want them to do that because it happened to me on number 8, where they had to go and get me. That's why I know about the wrap the legs around you and all that good stuff. But I hit the brakes, which is a leather glove they give you, and you put it on the rope and you are like hugging that rope so that you can stop.
Speaker 2And I guess I didn't do it early enough and I went flying in and so I put my legs out because I see the trunk and I'm thinking I don't want to hit my face and crack my head. I've been there, done that, flying off a motorcycle and so I put my legs out. I'm like, oh, if I break my legs it can be immoral. Yeah, I've been there than that too. So he threw something out it's like a weight or something to slow me down and something swung and hit me on the face and I thought I had broken my lip or my tooth or something because it stung so bad. And then I see their expressions my sister's crying already and the poor guy that had thrown the thing out is in panic. You can see his face and so I look at him and I'm like I'm okay. I'm okay, even though I don't know if I'm okay.
Speaker 3I'm okay. I'm okay, like, quit doing that expression stuff. Stop crying, stop all that madness.
Speaker 2I can't take it Like now it's hurting more because I see your pain, yeah, and so I touch my face and I'm like I really am okay, there's no blood. But you know, it was so much fun though I would have done it again, even if I had broken my freaking legs. I would have done it again.
Speaker 3That's crazy. It was fun. It was. It was fun. It was fun, it was. It was fun, it was scary.
Speaker 2It was scary Like I don't know how many of you look around, you can see the whole forest and you can hear all the animals.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's like that feels like you're living yeah.
Speaker 2Like if that stupid thing would have snapped and broken.
Speaker 3I died right there. I would like yes, that was worth it that's crazy.
Speaker 1I'm terrified of heights. So when my mom said that you guys did all 11, I'm scared of heights. My dad is too as tall as he is.
Speaker 4He's scared of heights he won't touch, he won't touch a ferris wheel, he won't touch a lot.
Zipline Adventures and Trip Highlights
Speaker 1He won't touch a ladder past like three steps. Yeah, he's scared of heights. He's not about it, I'm scared of heights. So he's six, three, literally, literally. I can't do it, but I thought that was very cool. Does anyone else have any closing questions, any thoughts, any concerns anything they want to shout out on the podcast? Anyone you want to shout out? I did have a question like what are you looking? What is one thing that you wish you could relive again from the trip Period? Sound off, ladies. What is one thing you can relive, you would want to relive or re-experience?
Speaker 3You know what? I think I like the dinner we had on the beach. It was so perfect. It was. I wanted to really go horseback riding because I've never been on a horse and I saw it and it looked so much fun. But no one ever. We never did it. That was something. That's not my journey, so in italy it's not my right really, so in italy, you guys have to find a horse on a beach and ride it yes, I guess what kind of horse that's up to you, girlfriend, that is up to you.
Speaker 1A 90 day fiance kind of horse? No, no, no, 40.
Speaker 4But you're going to be a bitty since then.
Speaker 3No, yeah, bitty, that's funny. Okay. So the dinner yeah, the dinner was the best for me. The whole night was wonderful. Yeah, because the waiter came and kissed me on the forehead, remember, and she said let me take a picture with you. You know how she does with everyone With what phone? Everybody with you. You know how she does with everyone. With what phone?
Speaker 2Everybody's phone, I know, omg, ok girlfriend, the mermaid had your phone and every time you get a meal or anything.
Speaker 1Take a picture of me, take my picture, take my picture.
Speaker 3I'm like cool. Well, she has to take my picture.
Speaker 1So we have all these pictures of Trina with food.
Speaker 3Whatever You're so funny. Food is the best. I really like the picture of us the morning when we went to go eat at that coffee shop. That picture was really nice too. I like that picture.
Speaker 1The last morning.
Speaker 2I really like the massages on the beach you know what I liked Trina was in there, or Maida, when we were in the pool singing your song girlfriend, I have the video somewhere too that was so funny.
Speaker 1We did our own little music video Catch it, catch it, catch it soon.
Speaker 2Your mom.
Speaker 1I'll show you Were you being crazy. I sent it to you guys. I think she picked this song.
Speaker 4I did get a video.
Speaker 1I did get a video. She's like you do this. I was like you say this, you say this, and we were in the pool yeah, that was so much fun.
Speaker 2I don't know why it was so much fun. I was like I kept thinking about it. I'm like that was kind of fun yeah it was fun.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was a lot of fun, yeah.
Speaker 3As the people in the other house were looking at them, saying what are these weirdos doing? They're lucky, we didn't take it all off.
Speaker 2Right, I know it was dark, it was dark.
Speaker 1Yeah, trina, what was your favorite part? Honestly, visit planning. Like I wish I would have done all 11. I'm really mad at myself that I didn't do all 11 of them. That's crazy. You guys look like you had a blast. Oh, we did, we did. I loved seeing you guys shake ass on a beach. I love that for you guys. It was fun.
Speaker 2Oh wait, wait, shake ass. Girlfriend of yours shook something else when she got her massage when it was over and she wasn't charging for that.
Speaker 1What, oh my gosh, you were shaking your titties. I'm telling you. I struggled all week. I was fighting for my life all week. Why? Because of her super friends, she said. Because I have big titties and they can't go in a swimsuit.
Speaker 2And it was like titties wouldn't behave themselves After she had a massage. It was so funny because Maida and I are sitting there waiting our turn because they could only do three at a time and Maida and I are watching and they're like so relaxed. They are like I don't. I think you girls fell asleep, maybe a little bit Like you guys were, so relaxed.
Speaker 2I'm like damn, that looks so good. I can't wait for me to get up in there and do my thing too and feel like they look. Girlfriend gets up here, she's trying to get herself up and she seems like she's trying to wake up.
Speaker 1Hello, hello, oh my Whoa there.
Speaker 4No, it was fine.
Speaker 1And then, when you lost your phone I said Trina, your titty's out All of Costa Rica seen Trina's titties. I'm telling you people got no more free shows.
Speaker 3That's all I'm saying that's it, it's done.
Speaker 2That is done. That's my boundary. You've got to charge for that, because we're going to Italy next year.
Speaker 1You can make some money Next year. I want to wrap them up.

Speaker 4Thank you guys for being here. It's beautiful, it's a lot. You guys have an ability Allowing me to do it. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2Thank you, it was fun.
Speaker 1Because, honestly, I was not excited about coming over here.
Speaker 2Honestly, I wasn't expecting to have a good time. I did not. Honestly, especially when, I'm being honest, when they changed the locations, I'm like I already have it on my freaking calendar to go there and do this and I'm like, okay, I'm going to show up. And actually it was. It was great because I I did have a really good time with, with these fabulous women and, um, I think it's refreshing to be able to be real, open and like transparent and real. So I think we're getting to know each other more and that makes me happy because it's something that I think we're so busy right with life, family and doing all the things that we do that we forget to actually spend this kind of quality time and connect at a deeper level and just be there for each other. It's like you constantly see women tearing each other down and here we're building each other up and saying, okay, you've fallen, my queen, let me get your crown, put it back up and let's go, let's do this, so thank you for doing this.
