I had the absolute craziest Christmas andNew Year's break that I ever have

(02:36):
in my life. I'm comparing thiswinter break I had to last year's winter
break. Last year. I startedit off in Miami with my Prima Gavi.
We took some days off and Iactually want a trip through my job.
Can you believe That's why I loveworking here. I want a trip
to Miami through my job. Wehad hotel paid for, air flights paid
for. We got like a vipyacht cruise. We went out clubbing,

(02:59):
a little bit a panic attack onthe dance floor. I cannot club anymore.
But after that, I went homewith the family. It was chill,
it was fine, it was fresh. Oh my gosh. That is
when I first started dating Zaddy,when we first went on our date over
Thanksgiving break, and then we werestill dating during Christmas time, but he

(03:19):
spent it with his family. Ispent it with mine. And then New
Year's last year was when there wasan actual flood in the Bay Area,
so I was stranded at his apartmentand we got into like a mini argument
during New Year's Eve because he didn'tgive me a New Year's kiss on the
New Year's and dang, this isgoing to be our second New Year's together,
which is Cray Cray. But goingfrom there to this year, I

(03:44):
mean, oh, my gosh,like so much has happened. And then
we had our sold out Z onehundred jingle ball this year. I did
the one in Los Angeles. Idid the one here in New York City,
which was a lot different than thejingle Balls of years before because I
was working with Extra the TV show, so I was an Extra representative,

(04:04):
so we had our own area todo stuff. But it was kind of
different because I couldn't really roam backstage. I couldn't really be the cloud chaser
that I want to and thrive tobe, so it was kind of hard.
It's like, it was fun gettingthe short interviews with the celebrities and
artists. I did Martha Stewart again. I did Bethany Frankel other Real Housewives,
which was cool. It's just notwhat I'm used to, and I

(04:28):
really liked just like running rampant andbeing free to do kind of whatever I
want backstage. So it was justa little different, but jingle Ball was
still iconic in New York City.We got to do our stage hit.
I did my own personal stage hitbecause Thank you Marshall's. Marshall's was one
of my sponsors. Toms, y'allknow I have crazy heartburn issues. Tom's

(04:49):
was another one of my sponsors.Thank you so much to well A Haircare.
Y'all plugged me up, Coca Cola, Joah Beauty. I mean the
sponsor were sponsoring for me this year. I got so many doorspens like I
couldn't even believe it, like hairbeauty, drinks, Toms. It just
was not stopping and it was everything, and I just I felt like I

(05:14):
really slayed our jingle bawl and Ireally did it for our sales team,
so I was really happy with that. It was so busy from the morning,
I mean, starting with hair Ithink my call time was seven am.
I didn't get home until like eleventhirty. We also had a after
party situation at a club Nebula,but I was just so tired I couldn't
even do that. And then Ihad a morning shift the next day,

(05:35):
so it was just it was craziness. And then that next week my partner
was out of town on vacation,so he was going on vacation. I
was working by myself for that week, and then I started my Christmas break
the twenty third. At night time, I get off, I hit the

(05:57):
airport and I go straight back hometo the Yate area. Uh and my
mommy picks me up from the airport. The next morning, I hang out
with my man's because it is ChristmasEve and we're going to go to his
heart of the family. This ismy first time meeting his family, really
small family, him his sister,her husband, their kids, they have
thirteen kids, and then his memhis grandma, who is amazing, So

(06:21):
this is my first time actually meetingthem. I mentioned before that every time
I went back home it was fora wedding or something really quick. So
we just really didn't have time tomeet. But finally we're gonna hang out
all together on Christmas Eve, andwe decided what better way to do Christmas
Eve than ordering Betty Hannah's. Sowe got Oh, we had a Benny
Christmas Eve, which is my dreamcome true. So we get up,

(06:43):
we order hell of food. Weare wrapping our last minute presents, and
then me and my man's go tohis MEMA's house to meet the whole family.
So his sister is amazing. Sheis so sweet. His brother in
law is everything like they have alwaysbeen and so welcoming. From when we
first started dating. She was likevery invested and wanted to know more about

(07:03):
me, and we would talk onFaceTime kind of just like saying hi.
But I was nervous because I've neveractually met her. But when I finally
met her, I've known. Iwas told so much about her and the
family, I feel like I alreadyknew her, and she was just like
so sweet. The brother in law, he is a rager like I am,
so him and I off the rip. We are just like drinking buzzballs

(07:26):
and having a good time. Therest of the family is a little more
low key and the brother in lawalso brings four wheelers, and he brings
motorcycles to Grandma's house to go playin the friend backyard. Now I think
a good old thirty minutes is passingby. We are chowing down on Beny
huntera shrimp. The sister brings somestarbread. I'm shoving those down my throat

(07:50):
and I'm kind of like vibing inthe kitchen by myself with some of the
kids. She comes into the kitchen, the sister, and she goes,
your man needs to go to theer. And I'm like what, and
she's like, yeah, he justgot hurt. He needs to go to
the hospital. And I'm sitting down, so I'm kind of like, is
it. I think this is likea prank. I think this is like

(08:11):
a joke. And I'm like yeah, no, and she's like no,
he's literally about to go to thehospital right now. I'm like what,
So I get up. I followher. My man in his elf Onesie,
his Christmas elf Onesie is limping acrossthe yard and I'm like, babe,

(08:31):
what happened? And he's like,I need to go to the hospital.
I need to go to the hospital. I'm like, what is going
on? And then the brother inlaw goes, he gashed his leg.
I'm like, what is going on? And she goes, she goes.
The sister goes, he gashed hisleg. It looks like a shark bit
him. It looks like a chunkof his leg is missing. Do you
want to see? And I'm like, no, I don't want to see.

(08:54):
And so Zaddy goes, He's gonnatake me to the hospital. It's
fine, it's fine. I'm likeokay. And then and she's kind of
worried. His sister's like, whatabout all the kids, because I remember
they have thirteen kids, And she'slike, what about the kids. Who's
gonna help me with the kids.And he goes it's fine, like Crystal's
there, Grandma's here, like,you guys are gonna be fine. I'm
gonna take him to the er.And Zaddi's like, yeah, he's gonna

(09:15):
take me. He's gonna take me. I'm like, okay, I honestly
do not want to go. Ido not like the er. I have
been a few times. I've beento the er when I got appendicitis.
I have been to the er whenI got a crazy kidney infection. I've
been to the er when I rippedmy ankle open for my twenty fourth birthday.
I do not care for do notlike the er. It's krusty,

(09:37):
dusty, musty in there, it'scrunchy in there. It takes so long.
I literally just got here from vacation. It's my vacation, babe.
I love you. I don't wantto see what's going on with your leg.
I don't have time for this.I want to take a shot and
I just want to enjoy my ChristmasEve. I love you to death.
You are gonna be fine. Itdoesn't look like you're dying. Go ahead.

(09:58):
So's with his socks into the car. I'm like, you need your
shoes. He's like, no,I'm not putting my shoes on like a
pape. You're not gonna walk intothe ear without your shoes. He's like,
I don't need my shoes. Unbeknownstto me, his toe was broken.
So we go inside. The kidsare shook. The kids are shooketh
they are crying. I am takinga shot because I'm like, this is

(10:22):
not the Christmas Eve that I wanted. But it's okay, Like he is
not. He's gonna survive. Thisis this is probably just a little booboo.
He'll get sewn up, He'll befine, right. The sister's pretty
worried. The grandma is like,oh my god, here we go.
And all I'm worried about is makingsure that these little thirteen children are going

(10:43):
to be entertained for the next probablyfive or six hours, because that's how
long it takes when you go tothe er. So we're kind of like
a little worried. But the brotherin law is like texting us updates.
And it is a full on gashin the inner right thigh of my boyfriend's

(11:03):
leg. I mean we're talking fifteenstitches. We're talking like if you get
your hand and you just like spreadout your hand and make the l that's
as big as long as the gash, and the gash inward, like it
really did look like a shark bite. Like I was looking for that chunk
of his skin. It didn't getit didn't get ripped off, It just

(11:26):
got gashed. So like hiss,his like tissue and fat was like that's
what I was looking at. Thehollowness was the tear in there. And
turned out he broke his right bigtoe, his sexiest toe. By the
way, he broke it in threedifferent places. And look at your thumb
and look at the joint of yourthumb when you bend it. Now the

(11:48):
thickest part of your thumb. Imagineif those two sides broken, like actually
broken off of each other. Sonow like your toe is in three and
then look at the knuckle, liketurn your put your hand on the fist,
and then turn your fist a littlebit to look at the knuckle of
your thumb, that top knuckle partbroken like like like broken off. Like

(12:13):
the toe is still intact, completelyintact, not bleeding, not bleeding at
all. But the bones they're inthree places, shattered and broken, the
joint pulverized. So that's what endedup happening during those five hours that he
was in the r Honestly, wehad an amazing bonding time, Like I
was, I was vibing. Meand the sister were having a good time

(12:35):
taking care of the babies. We'replaying charades with them, We're playing different
games. They're getting really impatient.All kids want to do is open up
their presence, So like you know, one by one, they each open
one present, but we want tosave the bigger presence for when the boys
get back from the er. Thegrandma is great, like she's just making
sure that her house doesn't get destroyed, which it really doesn't, cause the

(12:58):
kids are really well behaved, likethey're honestly chill, like they're not running
around with their heads cut off,like they are good behaved kids. They
don't want to break things, theydon't want to destroy things. You just
kind of like preoccupy one at atime, or we just start playing games
and they're all very well behaved,chill, amazing, sweet, sweet,

(13:22):
loving, loving little kids, Likethey just want to be on my lap.
They just want to be cuddling mea whole time, and it was
so cute. We're playing charades,we're having a good time. And then
grandma she buys a big clay setto make clay things, and I'm like,
why don't we make a replica,a clay replica of your uncle Zaddie

(13:46):
with his broken foot right now.And they're like, yeah, this is
amazing. So we're all helping,Like little princess she's making the torso our
little king over here, he's makingthe beard. I'm making his big bald
head and his cast on his foot, and it is so cute and just
in time as they are getting outof the car walking in. Five hours
later, we finish the sculpture ofhim and he has his forty nine ers

(14:11):
jersey on, he has his beard, his perfectly beautiful bald head, and
his little foot boot. So Zaddycomes limping in. He is frazzled.
He is not fine fresh, Heis not in a good mood. He
is triggered. He is in fullgrizzly mode because he does not like medications.

(14:33):
They had to give him morphine forthe pain because it was so crazy.
He did not like how that madehim feel. He does not like
being in pain, as no onedoes. He is in this boot and
his foot is just free like freefoot, free toe everything, and he
has fifteen stitches in the middle ofhis thigh. So all the kids are
now running rampant, opening all theirpresence, wrapping paper flying everywhere because finally

(14:58):
they get to open all of theirpresence, and poor Zaddi is just in
pain, still very nervous that thesethirteen little kids are gonna run into his
big toe that is in so muchpain, and he just he wants it
to be done. He wants allof this to be done. So he's
triggered right now, he's not ina good mood, but he holds it

(15:20):
down and he doesn't want to takepain meds because like I mentioned, like
he's he's like my mom, likehe's really he's afraid of medication, Like
he doesn't like pain meds. Hebarely takes any tie and all. Like
he's just like it's fun. I'mgoing to like just struggle through it.
I'm like, babe, this painmedication is for a reason. He's really

(15:41):
nervous that he's gonna get addicted toit. He doesn't do drugs. He
barely drinks, like my boyfriend doesnot drink. Like I literally have to
force shots down his throat and he'sjust like not in it. So the
kids open to all their presence.There is no casualties, but we do
have to scurry and back home becausehe is just done with it. So

(16:03):
after maybe thirty minutes forty minutes collectivelywith him and his family for Christmas,
because the other six hours he wasin the er, we go back home.
And the next morning, I'm justlike so petrified because we're supposed to
spend this day, Christmas Day withmy side of the family, my mom,
my dad, my brothers, thelittle duck, my nephew, and

(16:26):
my Awa Lithos. So I'm justlike, how are we going to get
him here? Like? Is heokay? I know he doesn't want to
take his pain meds? Is hegoing to be in a bad mood?
But we wake up and we doour morning prayer and I call him mom.
I'm like, mom, Zaddie isin so much pain right now,
Like he literally does not want tomove. Is it okay if you guys

(16:47):
all come to his apartment and wedo Christmas here? And my mom was
like, absolutely not. I haveall the food ready, you guys just
come here. Just what that's serious? Like, just bring him over here,
just drive him over here. Heis listening to my mom, okay,
okay, okay. So I'm like, babe, are you feeling okay?
Is it fine? Like Santa thinksthat it's just too much work to
bring everything over here. Can wejust go over there and you're just gonna

(17:08):
be on the couch. He's like, yeah, yeah, it's okay,
it's fine. So he's okay,he's in a good mood. We get
all our things ready, all thepresents and everything, and we wobble over
to my house and it's so great. I mean, everyone is there,
my brother Junior, my little brotheror seven, the little duck, my

(17:29):
nephew, am Ami Lithos, andmy mom and dad and that is all
we need. And we sit upZaddy on the couch. He gets the
best corner of the couch. Hisfoot is up and elevated. I kind
of create like a pillow barrier aroundhis foot. I finally convince him to
take half of a pain pill becausehe is supposed to be taking two every
two hours, that's what the doctorsaid. Because of the pain, he

(17:52):
wants to take half of one everysix hours. So he finally takes half
of a pain med and he withinthirty minutes looks at me and he's like,
I feel a lot better. AndI'm like, babe, that's what
medication does. That's what pain medicationis. You literally have the craziest blunt
trauma to your thigh and to yourbig toe right now, which is broken

(18:12):
and fractured in four different places,three different places, four different places if
you include the joint. I waslike, babe, it's okay. Like
if you're feeling a lot of pain, just take a little bit and you're
gonna be fine. He's just reallyworried. Like I said, he's gonna
get addicted. But he is allgood, and we spend the days like
opening presents doing Secret Santa with eachother. Zaddy got Ama for Secret Sanna,

(18:37):
and our family always wants to getAma because everyone just loves spoiling my
Awaditha and giving her like the bestgifts. He had no idea what to
get her, so we ordered Amaa juicy couture jumpsuit with the juicy on
the butt and the juicy jacket onthe back of the juicy. Oh my
god, soberking cue. We gother like a plum color. The color

(18:57):
was a fig Now her I havematching Juicy jumpsuits and it is iconically.
Everyone freaked out when she opened herpresent, and honestly, I think it
won Christmas. Then my little brotherSevan I got him for Secret Santa.
And a few months ago he textedthe group chat that he wanted this watch.

(19:18):
It's called Larvae l A r Ve. It looks like an a Dnali
painting if you know, like,what's his name, Salvador Dali? Oops,
Salvador Dali my bad the surrealist artistthat makes these art pieces that looks
like things are melting. Well,my little brother Sevon sent a watch to
our family group chat and the watchitself looks like it's melting. It looks

(19:44):
like a Dolly melted watch. SoI got that for him, and he
then told everybody that he was jokingand didn't think that we were actually gonna
get him the watch because it's crazyexpensive. But yep, got him that,
and he is just flexing that watch. And then oh, just so
good. My mom my mom isso cute. I love her so much.

(20:07):
She got me a little Crussito,a little Jesus Christ pendant, which
I love, love, love,love love, And yeah, we all
got each other some gifts and socute, so fun, so fresh,
And then Zaddy and I decided thatwe weren't going to get each other material
things for Christmas because there's really nothingthat we want, Like I jokingly sent
him persons that I don't want anddon't need. He is just the most

(20:30):
like unmterialistic person in the entire world. Like he does not care about money,
he doesn't care about material things,he doesn't care about clothes. So
we were like, we're going togive each other experiences for Christmas, and
he was freaking out. He wasso excited about the gift that he was
going to get me and said thatit's ruined now because of what happened to
his foot. And I was like, you know what, the present that

(20:53):
I got you is iconic. Itis exceptional for what happened to your foot.
So we exchange each other's gifts.He knows I've never been to Yosemite
before and we've always talked about going. So he got he got us a
stay at one of Yosemite's like craziest, most beautiful bougie resorts, and he

(21:21):
wanted us to go between the daysof Christmas and New Year's Eve, but
because he broke his foots and leg, he didn't want to go anymore because
he couldn't walk around. And Iwas like, yeah, no, like,
let's just not do that. Let'snot do that. It's going to
be a lot anyways, so you'regonna be fine, Hunt. So we
decided just to postpone it for anothertime, which totally works out anyways,

(21:44):
because then we get to spend moretime with each other's families. Now I
got him because he's going to behere in a few weeks. I got
him a couples massages at like thenicest, craziest, bougiest spa here in
New York City that I've been wantingto go for so long, Like I

(22:04):
see ads for this place all thetime, I see Instagram ads. I've
seen all the influencers go here,and I've always been like, Damn,
I want to go, Like ahell, I want to go. And
me and my man's we love spotties. We love going to the spa and
just like treating ourselves. So Ihonestly it's kind of a gift for me
too. But yeah, I gothis couple of massages to go to this
spa, And honestly, he spoilsme so much, Like I don't understand

(22:29):
how I'm so lucky Like this man. He loves to give me massages,
like he's always I just like,put my foot out, He'll massage my
feet. He will like massage mecrazy. He'll just like we'll just be
like watching TV and he'll be like, do you want a massage? I'm
like yeah, And like our ruleis that if we give each other massages,
like we're not gonna if he givesme a massage, I'm not going
to give him one because that's justnot fair, that's just not right,
that's just not fresh. This manhas given me like three massages. I

(22:52):
think I've given him like half aone before I quit. And my excuse
is that, like he is somuch bigger than I am, Like his
hands, like one of his handstakes off like a quadrant of my back,
So it's like really quick and easyfor him to massage me, and
he likes doing it, like itis a treat for him, and I
love getting massages, and honestly,like I need to keep up my end
of the bargain. So I justgot us these like nice, bougie crazy

(23:14):
massages at like the nicest bath houseslash spa in the city. So I
cannot wait. He totally deserves it, and when he gets back here,
he's gonna be way more healed andwe're gonna be able to do them and
just relax. So that was ourChristmas gets to each other. And he's
just like so sweet trying to planthat yosembday trip for us. But God
really looked out because I honestly thinkthat it was so much better that we

(23:37):
didn't go because even though I lovespending time with him, and I would
have liked a little more when onone time with him, this trip,
we were really able to spend somuch time with our family, and I
just think it's really vital for usto be spending as much time with our
family since we've only been dating ayear and I don't live at home or
around home. Instead of us takingoff for a trip just together, let's
spend time with our family. Andit was. It was amazing. So

(24:02):
Christmas Day happened with my family.It was It was just such an amazing
day. It was such a perfectChristmas Day. He messages with my family
so easily. He goes with thepunches like my family is tough, Like
my family is very loud, veryobnoxious, of very annoying. We'd be
roasting each other to death, andhe can handle his own. And he

(24:23):
loves them. They love him.We're just like little piggiesink oink eating all
day. He's just like resting hisfoot and we're doing everything for him.

I need to remove your toenail rightnow because there could be a bone

(27:18):
rapture into your toenail and if thatgets infected, it's all bad. Like
we're talking to amputation and we're likewhat what. So then the doctor says
he's gonna go and get some likeraps for us. Because at the er
they did not ice him. Theydid not wrap him, which is a
reason why it hurts so much andanother reason why it's swollen. They didn't
even want to give him crutches atthe er. He literally had to beg

(27:41):
them to give him crutches. Sothe doctor leaves and we come back and
my boyfriend is like, Babe,I don't know about New York, Like,
I don't know if I can wecan go anymore, Like, I
don't know about this, what doyou think? And I'm like, babe,
I love you and I cannot tellyou what to do, Like you,

(28:02):
this is your decision if you wantto go, and he's like,
yeah, I don't know. Idon't know. Like this blood clot things
sound serious. So then the doctorcomes back in and I'm like, I
know you're saying that he should notfly. Is there anything to do to
kind of suppress the idea of ablood clot happening with his swollen toe and

(28:23):
leg up there? And he goes, yeah, have anything. I would
tell you to take aspirin, liketake three hundred milligrams of aspro him before
you get on the flight so thatyour blood can be thin and doesn't clog
up. But I'm gonna tell youright now like I do not think you
should fly. And we're like okay, so then what about his ripped toenail

(28:45):
that you wanted to rip off rightnow? He's like, yeah, we
should definitely do that right now.And then my boyfriend's like, I don't
want to do that right now.He's like okay, well they dude,
come back next week and we cando it next week, but I really
need to rip that toenail off andwe're like, okay, So we decided
not to rip his toenail off.That would have been an extra trauma that
he just didn't need to deal with. And because we were technically flying like
that night slash morning, because theflight was like at six am, we

(29:07):
were just gonna sleep through the nightand decide in the morning if he was
gonna get on the flight with usor not. So as we get home,
I pack everything for us. Hissuitcase is packed and everything, My
stuff is packed and everything. We'retrying to sleep and my alarm wakes me
up at three point thirty in themorning and I look at him and I'm

(29:29):
like, babe, that's the alarm, Like how are you feeling? And
he's like, we're going to NewYork. And I'm like, oh my
god, Oh my god, ohmy god. So I pack up everything,
I get us in the car,I drive us to my mom's house.
I stave on Junior the duck,my brother. They're all waiting for
us. There. We get anuber and we head to SF. Oh.

(29:51):
Now all of us have pre checkexcept for Zaddie's expired on his birthday
so he doesn't have pre check.Totally fine, I mean we're there with
ample time. We get there,mad people, we get in. Before
we get toward like the waiting area, I'm like, if anyone needs to
go to the bathroom, go tothe bathroom. So everyone's going to the
bathroom. Then Zaddy goes to thebathroom. Then I'm looking for his aspirin,

(30:18):
and I forget his aspirin, whichis the only thing that he's freaking
out about because aspirin is gonna thinhis blood and prevent a blood cloth.
And Zaddy is nervous, Like we'reall quiet, He's nervous as hell.
So I run to an airport storepraying that there is aspirin, and there
is et cetern So I give itto Zaddy and he's freaking out. He's

(30:41):
like, this also has caffeine init, and it also has like tilernole
in it, Like I'm supposed toget just aspirin, Like I can't believe
you left at the house. I'mjust like, babe, like I'm sorry,
like I'm not perfect, Like justtake this, You're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be fine. Now bythis time, we miss are load

(31:03):
on the plane time, so thatmeans and then on top of it,
they delayed our flight. So it'slike I don't actually I do know.
I know exactly who has been puttingbruheia on my man, Like there's someone
that has been just like praying onhis downfall and praying evil and just negativity
on him. But the problem withthat situation and the Bruhediah is that my

(31:26):
man and I are very equally yokedand we are very very about Jesus.
And you know this already, Likewe are super more religious than either of
I've ever been in our whole lives. So we pray every day. And
when you are in that relationship withyour God, like no type of negativity
or witchcraft or boouhetia can ever bringthat down. So even though this person

(31:51):
prays on our downfall so much likethey prayed for his broken toe, they
prayed for his thigh, they prayedfor that delayed flight, like it is
not going to stop us, Likewe we are going to laugh at the
face of evil with God on ourbacks and we're gonna push it through.
So got him the aspirin. Eventhough we had a delayed flight, we
were able to get on a differentflight, even though that different flight put

(32:13):
us in the last row, whichis literally my man's biggest fear, because
this man is like six foot fourand he hates how small the planes are
in the back, like he willliterally drop money just to get three entries
extra of legroom. But no,they put us all the way in the
back. He was triggered. Hehad to crutch all the way to the
last row, but he made itand we were completely fine. We all

(32:36):
got to sit together, like allsix of us were sitting in the same
row, which was amazing. Iwas sitting next to Zaddie and we popped
him his pills. We were prayingtogether, or we were praying, and
let me tell you, as soonas we go into this guy, we
were really petrified that his foot wasgonna swell up and his sigh was going
to like burst open. But helooks at me, he goes, dang,

(32:57):
these these payments are hell working.I feel completely fe right now.
And the flight was just amazing.I was able to lay down and sleep
on his good thigh. The kidswere just like on their phones watching movies.
A Stevan was listening to music.My brother Junior was sleeping and the

(33:17):
flight was completely fine. Now Ididn't want to worry about us wobbling to
a ride share or a tax hereor anything, so I just ordered us
a car. I feel like mymom, because my mom is usually the
airport dad. Like I felt likethe airport dad, where I have to
make sure everyone's getting their stuff.I'm not gonna lie to you, like
I was really stressed. I wasstressed about my boyfriend's pain. I was

(33:39):
stressed about all the kids making surethey had their stuff. My brothers don't
fly a lot, and they're notcompetent human beings, so I'm making sure
that their stuff is all together.I'm carrying like my stuff, Zaddy stuff
the kids stuff like it's just ahot mess. But we make it off
and our car is waiting for us, and just another two hour drive into

(33:59):
my man because we are flying onlike one of the busiest days and driving
in on the busiest travel days ofthe year. So two and a half
hours stuck of traffic later, wefinally make it to my apartment and the
kids and the boys want to goand tour New York City a little bit,
and Zaddy just needs to rest andmake sure that his leg is elevated.

(34:22):
But honestly, like the flight wasthe least of our worries. I
mean, we were worried about it, but when we were on there,
it was totally cool, totally fine. So Zaddi was able to rent an
electric motor scooter like through like youknow, vhit those little old people.
By the time we got to myapartment, it was there already, so
he had that and the kids werelike playing with that a little bit.

(34:45):
And then the next morning I hadbooked us all a surprise. I booked
us an ice skating date under theBrooklyn Bridge in Dumbo. So the only
thing was we had to get Zaddiover there to Brooklyn. So I managed
to get us all together around noonto scoot on over and try to use

(35:09):
public transportation with his scooter. Sogetting through all of forty second was tough.
Now forty set, how there's noteven a street. I mean forty
second, I can it's kind oflike an forty second is the busiest street
in Manhattan, and it's also likethe closest train station to me. It's

(35:31):
also the busiest subway sass train stationin all of New York. I would
say and maneuvering Zaddy in there.It's right where time Square is, so
maneuvering Zaddy there was a little stressful, but we got him there, and
then we're trying to take elevators downright to the train because it's like streets
and then elevators and all these things. We get him through one stead of

(35:53):
elevators, and then to get himonto the actual subway platform, he has
to go through this like disabled maze. I mean, it's just it's literally
like maze runners dream all right,it's the set of maze runners. To
get down the ramp to the aceon forty second, if you know,
you know, so poor Zaddy he'shaving to like do three point turns every

(36:15):
single turn for about twenty of themdown. We finally make to the platform.
We get to the platform and nowthere is a disabled area to get
onto the actual train. So wescoot over there and we notice that there's
actually a gap, like it's nota ramp to get onto the train.
It's a full on gap. Soyou're not gonna be it. It's like
a stair, actually it's a miniit's half of a stair to get on

(36:38):
to the subway, and you cannotjust like roll onto this thing like you're
gonna have to like lift up NewYork City is just they try, but
they are so unaccommodating to people thatuse disability chairs. Luckily, we were
able to get it done, andhe hopped off the chair, hopped on

(37:00):
the train, and my brother Junior, in a stemon, was able to
jump it on, jump the littlescooter on. So we do that and
then here comes a like a manwith mental illness and like a homeless man
with mental illness, and he heis giving the body of Shrek. He
is huge. He's giving the bodyand the clothes of Trek Shrek. Honestly,

(37:22):
he is huge. He is spitting, and he's wobbling around getting closer
to us. I am getting liketriggering feelings that he's about to just stomp
on Zaddi's foot broken toe, thathe's not feeling it. He's not in
a good mood. He is inpain, and again he's refusing to take
these pain meds. So we're allso tense on this train. But finally

(37:49):
we get to the train exit andI'm looking at my phone and I don't
notice that the it's not it's notdisabled it's not disabled accessible. So we
have to go to a further trainstop, which is fine, but now
it's taking a little longer, andnow we're going to have to scoot about
fifteen minutes out of our way.Like that's so messed up. That is

(38:10):
so wrong. Like New York Cityand everywhere in the world, we need
to work on making everything disability accessible. So we get off of the train,
and as soon as we get offthe train, a Zaddy is happy
because when you're in Brooklyn it's notas congested as New York City forty second
Street. So he's in a goodmood. He's actually zooming off. He's
actually faster than all of us,and he's cruising and he has a eight

(38:34):
forty on and is doing donuts andhe's in a good old mood now.
So we pull up to the iceskating and it's drizzling a little bit,
but it's fine. We are juston time. Let me tell you,
I asked for my refund for myticket for Zaddy and they give it to
me and the kids are now withtheir ice skates. The little duck Alex,
he doesn't really like ice skating becausehe doesn't like things that he's not
good at I'm so blessed that mydad he was taking me and my brother

(38:58):
Junior and a stem on rollerblading andice skating since we were tiny. So
we're like the better ones on theice rink. Like, honestly, like
I'm starting to learn how spin now, I'm starting to learn how to do
spins on the ice. Yes,But the little duck he does not like
this because he's not good at it, and he's holding onto the wall the
whole time, and we end upgetting him a little like seal, one

(39:21):
of those seals that the little kidshold on to. He is a grown
ten year old with the seal.And it is so funny watching the kids
try to ice skate, because they'reterrible. They are awful. They are
just slipping and sliding. They aresoaked head to toe because it's like raining
on the ice rink as well,so now there's puddles everywhere. But I
have a good old time. AndZaddy he just has his headphones on.

(39:44):
He is watching us from inside.He is all warm and he is just
chilling too. So ice skating ishonestly, like, I have so much
fun. I don't know if thekids had that much fun. But I
had so much fun in my brotherand it was a vibe. And then
afterwards we go to the hotel rightnext door to have some dinner. So
we have some dinner, and thenme and my brothers were like drinking a

(40:06):
little bit, and Zaddy he's justexhausted, he is tired. He wants
to go home, and me andmy brothers we want to keep partying,
like we want to keep going off. So Zaddy agrees to take the kids
home and me and my brothers aregoing to just own the night. So
we thank you to ride shares becausethey are actually really accommodating when it comes

(40:28):
to disabled access for the cars,disability access, you know, called we
called a ride share and it wasthere within four minutes, and it was
a regular price. It was therewas no surge price for disability access.
And Zaddy was able to just toroll on up. He was able just
to roll on up into the backof that van and they locked him in
and him and the kids just wentback to the apartment. So then me

(40:52):
and my brothers we decided to justgo bar hopping, and we went one
place, we went to another place. We were just getting shots, getting
drinks, getting shots, and I'malready phone kind of tipsy. My brother
Junior is a lightweight, and mylittle brother is Stevan. He is twenty
three years old. And remember howyou were when you were twenty three ratchet
and trying to turn up. Thatis a Stevan's vibe. But girl,

(41:15):
I've been a ratchet and turning upsince I was seventeen years old. Like
I have been doing this, I'vebeen doing these things. I have been
against slash in New York City forthe past five years. So we're just
like a little on different pages.Because he wants to blackout and be home
by six am and I want toblackout and be cuddled by six pm.

(41:35):
But I still want to show thema good time. So I'm taking them
to different rooftops. Every single barwe pass, we go in, we
take a shot, and it's prettyfun. By the by, like maybe
like twelve one am, we arestumbling into Hell's Kitchen in New York City
and we go to a karaoke pianobar. Now, I usually love this
place. I always talk about it. I love going to Don't Tell Mama's

(41:57):
on forty sixth and ninth, Butthe server was hell rude, and the
piano guy was heller rude, likethe servers that we had that night,
Like she was a mic hog andshe just and she was not good like
love her. I think, Ithink like she wanted to be one of
those like annoying Broadway sounding people,like she wanted an annoying role on Broadway.

(42:22):
She didn't want to be like agood, like peaceful princess like Broadway
star, like she wanted to belike the annoying thea or grandma on Broadway.
And that's what she was giving.So and then they would pick these
songs. She would pick these songsthat are like so long, like total
Eclipse of the Heart, like wedon't want to be here for six and
a half minutes, listen to youlike awfully sing this song. We want

(42:43):
to hear everybody else. So nonetheless, I get on the mic and you
know me, I'm gonna do mydang thing. I got a standing ovation.
And then my brother Junior takes themic and he sings suspicious Minds.
He is amazing, He is everything. Well that video was like me pretty

(43:08):
much singing over all the parts ofhim. But anyways, he was great,
and that was so fun, andyeah, we were kind of like
slithered back home. I want tosay, like maybe like two in the
morning. And then the next daywe're deciding that we're gonna do like a
one day do things, another dayrest. So the rest day the kids
were able just to go downstairs andthey were able to swim and play basketball,

(43:31):
kind of just have like a coolday at the facilities where I live
and for a little bit, mybrother took them out and then we kind
of just like had like a movieday at the house. Now, the
next day was our Central Park day, and when I told everyone it was
going to be cold, they donot believe me because we scooted with Zaddy.
And now Zaddy's feeling a lot betteron the chair. He's feeling more

(43:52):
comfortable. We're feeling better with thechair in him. He's taking his pain
meds as he should be. Sohe's he's fine, he's chill, he's
calm, cool and collected. Wetake the kids to Central Park and everyone
is freezing cold. Everyone's freezing theirbutts off. They're like, it's cold,
it's cold, we want to goback home. I'm like, I
literally told you guys, it wasgoing to be freezing. Why did I

(44:15):
pack the handwarmers? Why did Itell you to pack your thermals? Why
did I tell you to bring yourbeanies if you weren't gonna bring any of
it? So we did call itoff a little early. My brother took
the kids shopping for a little longer, and yeah, Zadi was Zady's getting
kind of tired, just to kindof like the stress of his foot a
little bit and just the cold weather. Like I too, I kind of

(44:35):
just want to like relax. Youknow, New York City, v are
my streets. I know New Yorkpretty well. I've lived here now for
three winters. So it's like Ido kind of want to go home and
rest. So we got to gohome, and we got to rest.
We ordered food in and then thenext day we got up and got everything
ready because it was about to bein New Year's Baby. And I didn't
explain to you what happened and whatthe situation is with me being part of

(45:00):
Dick Clark's New Year's Rock and Evewith Ryan Seacrest. Okay, now,
I didn't say anything about this becauseI'm the kind of person that I don't
want to say things to you untilthey happen because I know there's people that
pray on people's downfalls. I knowthere is negativity in the world, and
although I am a shield from itbecause I got my own lord, I

(45:22):
just don't want nothing get in theway my juju. So let me explain
to you the story of how Ieven ended up on Dick Clark's New Year's
Rock and Eve with Ryan Seacrest.As rewind to what was like two months
ago, I got invited to coveriHeartRadio Socials in LA for our iHeartRadio jingle

(45:43):
Ball in Los Angeles. Now I'veworked with Ryan Seacrest a few times.
First of all, Ryan Seacrest isthe show before my show on afternoons here
on Z one hundred. Ryan seaChrist is Z one hundred ten to two
pm. So every day to signoff, Ryan Seacris says, and next
we have Crystal and Z one hundred. So that's one thing. Number two,
Ryan Seacrest invited me on his showwhen actually last year around November,

(46:10):
me and Ryan Seacrest have one ofthe same talent coaches, and my talent
coach mentioned me and my podcast tohim about how I would go on a
New Day every week and Ryan thoughtit was a really cool concept, so
he invited me on the Ryan SeacrestShow to talk about it. And what's
funny is the time when I wason it, actually I was already dating
Zaddy, which was really funny.So that was another time that I worked

(46:36):
with Ryan Seacrest, and I've seenhim here and there. I got to
see the Kelly Rippa like the Kellyand Ryan Show when he was on with
her. And then in LA Isaw Ryan. I saw him for iHeartRadio
Music Festival in Vegas this year andI said hi to him and he let
me do a fitcheck with him.And then when I saw Ryan in La,
me and Zaddy and my brothers hadalready planned to come to New York

(46:59):
to watch the ball drop, right, So when I saw Ryan in LA,
I was like, Ryan, You'regonna be doing the Dick Clark's New
Year's right in New York. AndHe's like yeah, And I was like,
I'm see you there. I'm gonnabe there and he's like, oh,
great, you're going to be theretoo. I said yeah. He
was like, who are you goingto be with? I was like,
Oh, it's just my family,my brothers and my nephews, and he
was like, oh, like,are you working or what are you doing.

(47:20):
I was like, no, I'mgoing to be with my diaper right
there on the crowd and be watchingyou from the crowd. And he said,
nah, Crystal, we can dobetter than that. And I was
like, well, I mean that'swhat I'm gonna be doing. He said
no, no, take my assistant'snumber. We can do better than that,
and I was like whoa. SoI kind of left it at that
and him and assistant walked away,and so I was just like, you
know what, like, I'm goingto talk to my talent manager and have

(47:43):
him give me his assistants number andI'll text her about what Ryan said.
But within the next ten minutes,this lady tapped down the shoulder and she's
like, Hi, you're Crystal,right And I said yes, and she
goes, oh, Hi, I'ma Ryan's assistant. He told me to
get your number. Can I gether real quick? He wants me to
link you up for New York AndI said, wow, okay. I
was like, dang, Ryan's reallyabout it, like instead of me having

(48:05):
to track her down, like,he really told her yo, get her
number. So we can be aboutit. So as soon as that happened,
I freaked out. I texted myfamily. I was like, you,
guys, Ryan Sea Chris assistant justgot my number, and we're gonna
be VIP for the New Year's balldrop. We're gonna we're not gonna have
to wear diapers in the crowd likeI was hoping we would. We are
gonna maybe be on a little cornersomewhere and maybe there's gonna be a porta

(48:29):
potty and we're gonna hopefully be ableto watch like Ryan Sea Christ do his
thing. And we were all freakingout, like, yes, VIP,
this is how we do it inNew York City, bah blah blah.
So we were geeked about that.Now, a week before New Year's I
was working my Z one hundred shiftalone because my partner he took that vacation
arm Ber, I told you,so, he took the week before Christmas

(48:52):
and then like the week leading upto New Year's off, and I took
the week after Christmas and the nextweek after New Year's off. So I
was by myself at work and Iget a call from Ryan Seacrest's assistant and
she goes hi, Crystal, Iknow that you were talking to Ryan about
New Year's Eve, and I justkind of want to give you an update

(49:13):
about what's going on. And I'mlike, oh, perfect, this is
awesome. So what's the plan.Like, I know that I mentioned I'm
going to be having my siblings withme, and we're a big group,
so you know, I know there'sa lot of people. If there's any
issues or inconveniences, it's totally fine, Like we have no problem just waiting
in the crowd, and she goes, actually, no, well, Ryan
Seacrest is doing Dick Clark's New Year'sRock and Eve with ABC, and as

(49:37):
you know, iHeartRadio is actually goingto be syndicating it now too, So
we're doing the on air with ABCand all of the ihear stations are going

well, what about my family?She said, oh, don't worry,

(50:20):
like that'll be the least of ourproblems, like it'll be totally fine.
I said, okay, thank you, thank you so much, and she
said no, thank you and congratulations. Someone will be in contact with you
later. So I say cool.So I hang up the phone and I
scream at the top of my lungs, and then I text my entire family
group chat. I'm like, you, guys, Ryan, see, Chris

(50:43):
to do a little badcast segment withhim. And they're like, oh my

hey, I ran into Ryan inLA and he's gonna help me be

(53:44):
VIP maybe to watch the ball drop. And he said, yeah, Crystal,
but you're going to be on theresoon one day You're going to be
on TV with him one day.And I literally rolled my eyes and laughed.
And so when I fell to thefloor and I was praying to God
and just saying thank you, thinkyou, thank you, I was just
like, it's so crazy, becausebecause when Brittany said that, and when
DJ whatever said that about me maybeone day being with me, one day

(54:05):
being with Ryan, like that nevereven crossed my mind as ever a possibility
in my life. And then lookat God, Like God made it so
that this was the year that Iwas going to just for a quick segment
be on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockand Eve with Ryan Seacrest, And I
just like God continues to bless mebigger and wilder than my biggest streams,

(54:32):
and I like my whole soul,like I just was literally on the floors
like thanking God, thanking God,thanking God for this crazy and amazing opportunity.
And this is huge for my career, Like I'm telling you right now,
never in my life was it evena possibility that I would be quickly

(54:57):
co hosting a segment with Ryan Seacrestfor in Times Square in New York for
the biggest New Year's broadcast in theworld, like I never ever, ever,
ever in my life thought I wouldbe doing that, and like,
who the heck, how the heck? I just was shook and I just

(55:19):
cannot I'm I am so so thankfulfor Ryan because like his big heart,
like he did not have to dothat, Like he didn't have to do
any of that. Like I justtold the man that I was gonna be
in a diaper watching him and rootinghim on, and he told his people,
let's get her on with me.Let's do a quick segment with me,
you know, to put on Zone hundred and to put on my

(55:39):
heart, like we're doing this alltogether, like let's do it. And
I just I was just shook.So that happened, and I called my
mom, I called my boyfriend.We everyone was just like, yeah,
we could, Like oh I toldher. I was like, I can't
believe that. I cannot believe thatI called my boss. I They were

(56:00):
just like, I'm not surprised.I'm not surprised. I'm like, I'm
surprised, Like I could have nevereven imagined this. So here comes the
panic of like making sure my outfits, writing and everything. So I knew
this the week before Christmas, andit was just like the coolest thing ever,
and it just made it was makingNew Year's just that even special.
So I was able to get credentialsfor my entire family, my brothers and

(56:22):
the boys, and they got usa hotel room right on the block of
Times Square, so we were ableto get there at like three pm,
and we brought stuff to like pregameand I was gonna be on TV,
so I wasn't gonna drink, butI just want to make sure that everyone
was good. We were able towalk around the city for a little bit.
We saw the Rockefeller Tree New Year'sEve, and then we got access

(56:43):
to the ball drop, so youknow, right when the clock is ticking,
we are going down and we're tryingto scoo. My man still has
his motor scooter, but the motorscooter came in clutch because it was like
making way for people to go aroundus. Like it made like the cops
and stuff want to take care ofus because my in had the motor scooter.
So the fact that Zaddy had thatit was like a blessing in disguise

(57:04):
because it helped us get around thecity and get around those barricades a lot
easier, like they were accommodating us. And then here comes the time to
do the countdown and we're all therebecause my segment is coming up around twelve
thirty so after the countdown. Buthere is audio of the amazing countdown watching
the Flippin' ball drop. Sad sadfock. I mean, I just I

(58:23):
couldn't eat, like speechless. Ioh the fact that my brothers were there,
my bestie hear at work living butoh my god, Shelly Rome,
she pulled up with me and myboyfriend, Saddie was there and the kids,
like it was just my nephew Alex, like seeing his face. I
got poppers for them, like bigthe big stick poppers, so right when

(58:46):
the countdown happened, like they werepopping those. And I was in New
York City. I saw the balldrop with my eyeballs. And then they
played in New York, New Yorkafterwards, and like you know what New
York City is to me, LikeI love this city so much and I've
wanted to live here and work herefor so long, And that was my

(59:07):
first time watching the ball drop,and I just being a part of that
and my family being there for that. So after that, we had to
scurry back to the hotel because securitywas going to grab me to bring me
up to do my hit with RyanSeacrest. So at that time, my
brother, I think took the kidsto like get food or something at a

(59:29):
Steve On. I think they wentup to the hotel room for something,
and it just so happened that itwas just me, Zaddy and Shelley,
So poor Zaddy, he ended upwobbling up running with me with the security
guards and the producer that was runningme up to do the rooftop hit with
Ryan Seacrest. We get there andthere's like a heater out there for us,
and like everyone's so professional, andShelley's like taking videos of me,

(59:52):
and Zaddy is like helping with whatI need. He's holding my ugs and
like helping me change into my shoesand out of my coat. And then
I get up there and we doa little run through me and Ryan,
and then me and Ryan just starttalking and he's just like asking me how
my holidays were, and I wasasking him how his were, and him
and I both worked in San Franciscoand radio, so we kind of are

(01:00:14):
reminiscing a little bit about that,and then here comes the moment for the
quick little intro for Sebastian Manascalco.And let me tell you, like,
I don't feel nervous, Like Idon't feel worried. I don't feel nervous.
I feel totally prepared. And itjust like I felt like that's exactly
where I was supposed to be atthat time, Like God, I just
that was just this is just God'splan. And so I'm taking over iHeartRadio

(01:00:37):
Socials at this point and I'm likemaking sure that's looking pop in and great,
and then I do the hit withRyan, and in the middle of
the hit, like Ryan stops andhe's like you have a future, and
then he continues and he finishes thesegment, and I'm just like, Ryan,
stop, why are you so nice? Like why why are you like
the nicest guy ever? Like hegenuinely is so every single interaction I've had

(01:01:00):
with him, as I've mentioned,has just been so nice and so genuine.
He did not have to do anyof that for me, and I
just am just so humbled and sothankful and grateful he is the man like
he is. iHeart daddy. Heis American idol king, hosting King.

(01:01:22):
He is the creator of the Kardashiansand more, and him just spending a
little breath on me. I justI wishok. I cannot believe it.
So after that, we went backto the hotel and we just started taking
shots to the face, like wewere just going hard and off, and
I was just so happy about it. My brother Junior, he was tired,

(01:01:43):
so he was like, I'm gonnatake the kids back to the apartment
and you guys can go and partyfor the rest of the night. So
me and my brother are Sevan andZaddy. We try to go around to
the bars, but like everything's kindof lame and kind of a little nerve
wrecking for Zaddi's leg because everyone's alreadylike sloshed. So the three of us
just have a bottle and we're justlike driving around Times Square of New York

(01:02:05):
City, which is like pretty emptyat this point. It's closer to one
am one thirty, and we're justdrinking and talking and vibing, and we
go from different places to different places, but everywhere was just like not our
vibe and whack, and we're havinga really good time just drinking together.
And I love my whole family andmy little brother. A Sevan is like

(01:02:25):
the closest to me. Like heis like when we were growing up,
me and my brother Junior would fightall the time. But a Sevan is
just like my heart and soul.And I love my boyfriend so much,
So I could not have spent abetter New Year's Eve than like just roaming
around the streets of New York withmy boyfriend and my brother and just like
turning up and drinking. So weget back to the hot to my apartment

(01:02:50):
probably like around like three, andthe next day it's another rest day and
we're just going to relax all dayand get on our late flight, which
again was really easy, especially withZaddi's pain meds and we already went through
it once, so getting the wheelchairand then getting him on the flight and
getting off the flight all good,no problems. We didn't get back to

(01:03:12):
Zaddi's apartment until like I want tosay, three or four in the morning
because it was a late flight.But then yeah, we were able to
sleep peacefully, and the next day, like the next few days at home,
it was just like hanging out withmy family or just kind of relaxing
and in between, I had abirthday party my godson, Jojo Josiah,

(01:03:35):
he had his first birthday party.So we drove up to Sacramento and we
had a good old day with mybesties over there, and Zaddi came and
the next day we celebrated the Abela Rosca with my family too. It's
the day of the Three Kings dayand we just kind of like part our
little bread and get the little babies. And yeah, that was my full

(01:03:55):
solid two weeks with Zaddi. We'venever spent so much time together day and
night, day and night, day, night, two weeks in a row,
holidays with my side of the family, his side of the family.
It was I think like the bestholiday I have had in a very very

(01:04:16):
very very very very very very longtime. My heart just feels full.
I feel so fulfilled with my family. I feel so fulfilled with my job.
I got so much love for theNew Year's event that I did with
Ryan Seacrest. Thank you for everysingle message, like comment share, y'all

(01:04:39):
really showed out for me. Myjob was enthralled. I got calls from
my bosses, I got emails andtexts from everybody I know, and I
mean, what a twenty twenty three, you know, looking back, it
was such a crazy year, andthe holiday was, even with the broken

(01:05:05):
foot of it all, even withthe flying with Olympia of it all,
it was exactly how it was meantto be and should have been. And
Zaddy is in full recovery mode now. Like his thigh gash is completely is
like healing together, like there's nomore blood, like the skin is attaching

(01:05:25):
together. His toe is not aproblem. He's not gonna need surgery.
Maybe when he's fifty he'll have arthritis, but that's like the worst case scenario.
He doesn't need surgery. Like it'sthe toe is gonna be fine,
Like within the next two weeks he'llbe walking fully without a limp. I'm
pretty sure it's still a little fragilenow. But we were talking like we

(01:05:48):
are long distance, so we don'tspend usually more than a week together at
a time, so we were like, how is it going to be spending
two weeks and it's just not enough, Like it is just not an Like
we had these talks about our past, these talks about what we want together
for our future, and the talksabout how it is with our families,

(01:06:09):
and like we are just so happyand we're so thankful, We're so thankful
that we are like rooting our relationshipwith God first, because I mean,
as I was saying, there arepeople that pray on everyone's downfalls and sometimes
they are going to pray a littleextra to make things not work out for

(01:06:30):
you. But if you pray forlove and for goodness, and if you
keep your God close to you,whatever you believe in, your energy,
whatever you don't believe in, likeyour mind, will be able to overcome
any negativity that anything tries to comeyour way. And I just feel like
that's the reason that we had likethe best Christmas together and the best New

(01:06:51):
Year's even if it wasn't exactly howwe planned it, Like it was such
a blessing, Like his foot wasa blessing because I but like we got
so closer, Like I have hadto clean places of this man that I
never thought I would have to clean. I had to like sponge bathe him,
like I was literally like having todo wifey things because he has he

(01:07:13):
had no one to do it forhim, and like I was there with
him for his biggest injury of hislife, Like he has never gotten injured
like this in his entire life.And I'm really happy that I was there
to take care of him, andI feel like it got us so much
closer together. I looked at him, I was like, Babe, we
are never going to have a toughertravel situation than this one. And if

(01:07:36):
we've been able to get through this, I don't really know how like harder
it could get other than like ifwe are actually diseased, you know what
I'm saying. So just so thankfulfor that. And again, like him
hurting his foot like made us notgo to Yosemite, But what it did
make us do is it made usspend more time with our families, which

(01:07:57):
is more important than a trip.Like that time that we got to spend
together is so much more valuable thanlike hiking somewhere and like staying at a
nice resort for me and for himtoo, So I just feel like that
was also a blessing. And likehim having the scooter, like it was
it was so much easier for usto get around for New Year's because he
had the scooter, and like theofficers were like literally like laying out the

(01:08:20):
red carpets for us, and Ijust I feel like we've we bonded so
much closer because he got hurt andlike needed it. Like we had some
tough times though, Like there wasa day where I was just so exhausted
from like the kids and like mybrothers, and like at one point Zaddi
needed help with something like with hisleg, and he, like I kind

(01:08:43):
of blewed off a little bit andhe was straight up with me. He
was like, I kind of feellike I'm being a burden to you right
now, and I just I don'tlike this feeling. And I had to
take a step back, and Iwas like, oh my god, babe,
Like I'm so sorry, Like Iwas giving you that energy, I
was treating you that way, andthat's totally not what you do and it
has nothing to do with you.I'm like annoyed by other things and I
need to check myself for that becauseI wouldn't like it if you did that

(01:09:05):
to me. So it's just likeI'm so thankful, Like he's so communicative
and he's so honest with me,and wow, like this really was a
whole next step to our relationship,and I just everything happened the way it
was supposed to happen. I amso thankful that I was able to spend
time with him and my family andhis family, and we slayed. I

(01:09:28):
mean we slayd twenty twenty three.We were able to do things that I've
been wanting to do for years.We were sent to jingle Balls, we
were sent to a Fiesta Latina.So I've traveled more for work than I
ever have in my whole life.I am now being requested at things me
as a talent and a personality.I feel like it's becoming a force to

(01:09:50):
reckon with. Like higher ups arelike, no, we need her here,
Like we are going to fly herhere, and we're going to invite
her to these things because we wanther and her input. And I'm just
like, oh my god. Whenit comes to my career, I just
feel so full and happy. Iam now nationally syndicated with my show on

(01:10:15):
the New hit List, my nightlynew music show, which you can hear
on over one hundred radio stations acrossthe country every single night, every weeknight,
eleven to midnight. That's something Idid not see happening for a few
more years. I was on ABCwith Ryan Ce Crisic. I'm still to
over that. Like I have anafternoon show on the biggest radio station in

(01:10:38):
the country here at ZE one hundred, and I just like am so thankful
to my bosses here because they havemy back. They want me to win,
they want to give me resources todo what I can do for my
full potential. And I feel likethe end of the year was really just
like about me and my family andmy boyfriend and his family, and I
just I cannot ask for anything moreof twenty twenty three, and I'm just

(01:11:00):
kind of like, what is gonnahappen this year? What is gonna go
on? Like I definitely need afew weeks to just get back into my
rhythm, relax, and get offof this holiday high that I've had.
Because I've said it before, likeafter I leave my family and when I
leave my boyfriend or when he leavesme, like I get a little emo
because it's just different. But thisyear, I know that I have my

(01:11:26):
work family that really cares about me. Shelley Rome like the fact that she
was there for me for everything onNew Year's A lot of people would have
hated a lot of people would havemade it about them or scoffed and me,
And like, Shelley is just sucha genuine human, Like she is
genuinely there to root for me inopportunities that maybe she even deserves. And

(01:11:50):
it can't always be all of us, but she is that person that like
is like, well, if it'snot me and if it's you, I'm
gonna be right there. I'm gonnaroot you want. And like even today
in our meeting we had at work, like she shouted me out after our
boss did and like she just saidthat I'm a rockster and like I'm doing
I was just like she's just genuinelove And like Shelley is my sister here

(01:12:10):
that my work sis, and I'mso thankful for her. David is just
always there rooting for me, myboss is like I'm just so thankful for
all of them. And note everythingis perfect. Not everything is going to
be one hundred percent how you wantit to be. You know, it
is not dandelions and rainbows for meall the time. There are things here
that I wish can be totally different, but there are things that I can

(01:12:36):
totally get through and that God hashelped me get through. And at one
point like I wanted to quit,Like I'm at one point this year I
literally called my boss to quit myjob and he was like, are you
sure you want to do this?And I was just like, I don't
know what else to do? Whatwould you do? And he gave me
the best advice, and I've justbeen following his advice and I'm just so

(01:12:57):
thankful for him. And twenty twentyfive, what's up, boot? You're
looking kind of cute. You lookingkind of fly, you look kind of
fresh. I do have some opportunitiesthat I've been offered to me this year,
and I just really want to makesure that every second that I'm dedicating
is something that I am one hundredpercent passionate about and will potentially get paid,

(01:13:20):
because there's a lot of things thatpeople actually do for free, but
time is money, honey. AndI also want to make sure that,
like I'm allocating my time effectively andefficiently. So yeah, that's what I'm
focusing on in twenty twenty four.I haven't realised that goals. I have
just still been wrapping my head aroundwrapping up twenty twenty three, so I

(01:13:43):
haven't sat down to really hone inon what I want. I felt still
a little like jet lagged and kindof tired and a little like unmotivated for
the day to day. So Ithink within these next few weeks of just
kind of relaxing a little bit,I'm going to be able to like really
hone in on my goals for theyear. But despite it all, you
have been here with me for myinconsistency of the nightcap, and I just

(01:14:06):
want to thank you for being herefor another one. Thank you so so
much. I love you. Thishas been a crazy, crazy year from
everything that we've been doing, andwe've been going off nonetheless, so I
love you so so much. Ifyou are also filling a little lagged from

(01:14:27):
the beginning of the year, it'sokay. We're going to do our daily
motivator together. I hope this motivatesyou and I because I need it just
as much as you do. Herewe go. This one is called slowly
weighed in. If you can't bendthis, bro, this is really for
us. If you can't bring yourselfto make the full effort, perhaps you
can make a half effort or aquarter. What if you simply start going
through the motions? At least that'ssomething at least it puts your focus in

(01:14:51):
a productive place. Maybe, onceyou're sufficiently focused on the effort, you
can begin to actually get good workdone. It can't hurt to move in
that direction. As you spend moretime going through the motions, you will
develop some momentum. Eventually, thatmomentum can transform the superficial motions into meaningful
progress. It's possible that just goingthrough the motions will end up being a

(01:15:14):
useless exercise. Perhaps, but thealternative, which is doing nothing, is
guaranteed to be useless. The wateris too cold to jump right in,
yet there's a good chance you canslowly wade in and soon you'll be swimming
along nicely. Who what the heck? We hell? I needed that one
today? We for show needed thatone today? Huh. I remember,

(01:15:39):
like a few months ago, Iwas hello motivated. I was like running
a mile every single day. Ihave not run a mile in like three
weeks after jingle Ball. It's like, no, absolutely not, like the
miles are done. But I swearto you, this just made me a
little motivated to maybe go to mygym today. I think I'm gonna do
it. I am gonna do itwhen I go home. I'm gonna go
to the gym. Also, Iwant to shout out my dad, Boppy.

(01:16:02):
I've been very annoyed with my parentsbecause they do not take their health
seriously and they're both like borderline diabetic. Okay, they eat so bad.
I'm talking very very bad, asa lot of a lot of people do
okay. And also like our culturesmaha, gunnals, we do not have
good eating habits, Like our wateris Coca cola and our gufesito with banlus

(01:16:27):
is every single night. And mydad decided to stop drinking coca cola.
He stopped drinking soda and it's beentwelve days, which is huge, Like
that is so big for my dad, Like he is very stubborn and like
he is a troll. Like onetime I texted h I'm like, Bobby,
what are you doing today to betteryour health? And he sent me
a picture of him on taco bell, Like that is my dad. But
I'm really happy that he's been twelvedays soda free, and I'm just so

(01:16:51):
proud of him. And today I'mgonna run for my dad, and I
know we all have our own forthe year. I have so many snacks
in my house because since the boysin my family was just there, I'm
gonna get rid of all the snacksbecause last night I woke up by to
in the morning in an entire sleeveof oreos. I ate an entire sleeve

(01:17:12):
of oreos and that is not gonnahelp me get into my health grind that
I want to be on. SoI'm gonna go through my house and take
all the snacks out, and I'mgoing to just give them to the door
people downstairs. I'm giving them downstairsso they can have snacks for their breakroom.
And yes, so this, thisdaily motivator was hella good today.
Slowly weighed and that's true, Likeif you can't do the full effort,

(01:17:34):
just do half at least or quarter, Just just try to dip your big
toe in just slowly wide in.That was so great. Now, on
top of our daily motivators, I'mgonna start doing at the end of our
episodes, I'm gonna also do ourdaily prayer of the day. Now,
I know that maybe you're not religious. I don't know what you believe in.
I don't want to push my religionon you. So if you don't

(01:17:58):
want to listen to anything, thatlike has God or in it, you
don't have to like. Thank youso much for listening and hanging out for
another episode of Crystal's Nightcap. Pleasesubscribe to the pod if you haven't shared
the podcast with your friends if you'rereally liking it. I'm live in New
York City a Monday through Friday twoto six pm. Also on our free
iHeartRadio app. If you're not inNew York, I'm on tons of stations.
Every single weekend I'm on five stationsand every night I'm on over one
hundred, So to see which onesand what times it, make sure you

(01:18:20):
check me out on socials, oneverything. We're at lack Carrystal little Sas.
Now, we're going to officially endtonight's episode with our Prayer of the
Day, and again I want topreface that I do not want to push
my religion on you, or anyreligion on you. If you don't believe
in anything, that is totally fine, no judgment. Do you. I
think that's that's cool? Like thatis you for me and my family,

(01:18:44):
we grew up Catholic. I grewup Catholic, and I went to Catholic
school pretty much my whole life andthen when I got into college, I
strayed away from God for whatever reasons, and it was not fun, It
was not fresh, it was notgood. I had absolutely nothing to ground
me, idly nothing to stand on, and I got lost in the sauce.
I completely got lost in the sauce. And it was so bad during

(01:19:06):
the pandemic that I literally drowned inpanic attacks and my mom had to save
my life. And my mom hasalways been really religious, My awa ethos
have always been really religious. Andmy mom saved my life one way through
God, and because of her,I got a lot closer to God.

(01:19:26):
And I completely believe in God nowagain, and I'm so thankful for that,
because without God, I would havealready quit my job. Without God,
I would allow people to steal myjoy and happiness and ruin my peace.
And I don't agree with everything thatthe church preaches and says and has
done in the past or does currently. But I do believe in the Word,

(01:19:49):
and I do believe that my community, my church like it just makes
me feel so good and they makeme feel loved, and we all want
the best for each other, andnone of us are perfect. And if
you really read and believe in theWord. The Word is to love and
to not judge others, like that'sliterally a part of our commandments. So

(01:20:12):
I just am kind of compelled todo this. I just feel like I
do the daily motivator and that doesn'tinvolve God or religion or anything. But
if you want a little extra oomphin your life, this will not hurt.
Okay, this will not hurt.And if you don't believe in like
God or Jesus and this, thisis what I was telling Natasha. You

(01:20:35):
know, I used to work inSan Francisco and my mentor was JV.
He is a radio legend and iconwho sadly passed away last year, leaving
behind his beautiful, big hearted,love filled wife, Natasha. And I'm
really not the best when it comesto what to say with grieving. But

(01:21:00):
the only thing that I was ableto tell her is that I'm not sure
what you're believing or your spirituality,but if you want anything to lift you
up, I'm going to send youthis book because it's a daily calendar of
just like uplifting things and it's allscriptures, and it really helped me when
I needed help. And I startedreading this book through my church, like
we would read these every Sunday,and I was like, these are really

(01:21:21):
fun and good and fresh, andI kind of want one for myself.
So I bought one for myself andI started using it. And whenever I
have conversations like with God or aboutJesus to my friends or family, I
send them this book. So Isent this to Natasha and I told her,
I was like, listen, likeI don't know where you're at spiritually,
but just replace the word Jesus orthe word God with love, with

(01:21:44):
energy and with JV. Because weare all God, like God is in
us, like we are all God, we are all love, we are
all energy, so it's all intertwinedlike I am God, you are God.
I am Love, you are Love, So it intertwines. So if
you're kind of like E, Idon't know about this, Crystal, like
I don't know, just like hangin with me. Whenever you hear like

(01:22:04):
God or Jesus or me, justthink like energy and light and love,
like you don't have to be RELIreligious to feel these things because these are
all really really good words. Sotoday is January ninth. This book is
Jesus calling and enjoying Peace in HisPresence by Sarah Young. You can get

(01:22:25):
on like Amazon all right. Thisone says I am with you and for
you. When you decide on acourse of action that is in line with
my will, nothing in heaven oron earth can stop you. You may
encounter many obstacles as you move towardsyour goal, but don't be discouraged,
never give up. With my help, you can overcome any obstacle. Do

(01:22:45):
not expect an easy path as youjourney hand in hand with me, but
do remember that I your very presenthelper, am omnipotent. Much much stress
results from your wanting to make thingshappen before their time have come. One
of the many ways I assert mysovereignty is in the timing of events.
If you want to stay close tome and do things my way, ask

(01:23:08):
me to show you the path forward, moment by moment. Instead of dashing
headlong towards your goal, let meset the pace, slow down, and
enjoy the journey in my presence.What do you think? What do you
think about that? When I readthis book, This book like really helps

(01:23:30):
you when you have trouble with anxietyand stress. Like this book constantly is
saying don't have anxiety, like Ihave already everything planned for you. Everything
will be okay as long as youlike stay close to me and like walk
with me, because the only thingyou have control over is right now.
Like if you stress about future events, you will stress for your whole life.

(01:23:54):
Like if you stress about the past, you're going to be in a
ball of negativity and disgust and stressfor eternity. Like a lot of reading
the Word is God saying to us, like stay close to me, like
I have everything that you want andmore, and if you just stay close

(01:24:14):
to me, like you will getthrough it and I will help you.
I am here for you. Ilove you, And just enjoy and slow
down, enjoy the journey and bepresent and be at peace. Just breathe
and just be in peace. Likethis reading here that I just did is
Romans eight thirty one, Psalm fortysix one through three, and Luke one
thirty seven. Like this literally,this is literally what it says. Like

(01:24:35):
the words are just over and over, like I'm with you, I love
you, I am in your presence, like be present, be present,
find joy, find peace. Iam your joy, I am your peace
of trust in me. This isa lot of what gets me through every
day. So I hope that thathelped you. This really assures us that,

(01:24:56):
like it's life is not easy,like it just isn't Like that's just
not how it is. We're onearth, Like not only are we on
earth, but if you like read, you know that the devil is on
earth with us. So that's whyit's hard. But if you keep close
to your love and your energy andyour positivity and your God, it's gonna

(01:25:19):
be fine. It's chill, bro, It's totally fine. It's good,
and that's not always easy. Butthat's why I like to read these things.
That's why I like to read thisagain. This is Jesus calling and
enjoying peace in his presence by SarahYoung, because if when I start my
work shift with this, I'm like, dang, it's all good, Like

(01:25:41):
there are bigger fish to fry andworry about, and like all I gotta
worry about is being my best meright now because it's all you can do,
that's all you can ever do.So I hope that this helped you.
If you're interested, you can getyour own little version again whenever you
hear like me God, all thosethings like that just means love and light

(01:26:01):
and good energy. So I hopethat that helped you a little bit.
Thanks for sticking around with me forthis. I hope you're okay with us
doing this. If it's not yourcup of tea. When we do the
sign off and I say thanks forsubscribing. Followingmen everywhere you can sign off
and that's fine too. But lookat that we hung out together today.
I told you all the tea aboutChristmas and New Year's and we did some

(01:26:26):
daily motivators and we pray together andanything that you need light on and energy.
I'm going to make sure that yourprayers are answered right now, whatever
it is in your heart. Ijust want to continue to stay present.
That's my prayer, to continue tostay present and joyful and thankful. The

(01:26:48):
number one thing is for me tostay thankful. I feel like when I'm
thankful for things, I appreciate thingsmore and it makes me feel happier and
joyous in the moment when I'm thankful, and it makes me not worry or
think about the future. Because weall still get anxiety. It's like life's
a little stressful sometimes. But yeah, for me, just can you pray

(01:27:11):
for me to stay present and tostay thankful because I was a little I
was a little emo coming back toNew York City. Even though I love
it here, I love my apartment, I love my cat Frappy, I
have struggles with leaving my family andmy MAM's So I'm gonna go run.
I'm gonna go home right now.There's a crazy storm happening in New York

(01:27:32):
City. I'm gonna get through thisstorm on the walk home, and then
I'm gonna try to run. Andthen I have a beautiful Gutnytha's burrito from
Uto Spedico's Market and San Landro waitingfor me the fridge after my run,
and that's gonna be like the lastcarbs I'm gonna eat because I'm trying to
get back onto my health grind.So let's do it. Thank you for

(01:27:55):
hanging out with me for another episodeof Crystal's Nightcap. I love love you,
and I'll see you on the nextone.
