Girl. A girl is obsessed. And to be honest, I've probably gone every other day since being back. My friend Twee also had a concert here this week and at the Republic. And it was really so cutesy. I can't believe I have pop star friends. Like, I'm really gonna watch my girls shine. I love her and I love the fact that she loves her girls and gays. I wish my handwriting wasn't so ugly. Oh, my gosh, if you guys ever see me stumbling, it's because my handwriting.

And my cousin Colin is in town with his girlfriend, which I met yesterday, which was so fun to see him again after all these years. But all in all, I've been taking it easy, and I've just been a little Kermit before all of my travelings because this month is about to be insane and so many traveling on the next month. Also, please wish me luck. And I may and may have I never forget to journal and write all about it. Period.

[Princess May]

Period.

[Bretman Rock]

Princess.

[Princess May]

What a life.

[Bretman Rock]

Exactly. Princess. Have you gone to Don Don Don Don?

It's so fun. You should tell Tony to take you. There's a really good sushi restaurant.

[Princess May]

I've been watching all these pretty pages, and I'm like, oh, my God, I need to go right now.

[Kat]

Right?

[Princess May]

I love sushi.

[Bretman Rock]

It's so good. I also took Claire yesterday, and her eyes was like, oh, my God. She was like, I didn't think Donkey. Don Don Donkey was this awesome. I'm like, period. What else did I talk about? Oh, you know the Philippines. Do you know tweet?

[Princess May]

Yes.

[Bretman Rock]

Why didn't you go to her concert?

[Princess May]

I didn't. I didn't know she had a concert. This is how I found out she had a concert. Because this. This lady came up to me. She's like, oh, my God. My daughter sent a video. I mean, yeah, my daughter sent a video of Bretman on stage. And I was like, on stage?

[Bretman Rock]

And then when was this? Yesterday at the food truck.

[Kat]

Oh, yeah, because it's Friday night.

[Princess May]

Yeah, it was on Saturday when the lady came up to me, and I was like, oh, let me see. And then it was you, like, going back and forth, like, doing your thing. And I was like, oh, who. Who was it? I thought it was Kehlani, because I know Kehlani was. Kehlani was coming here, but then it's not. So I'm like, who is it? And then my friend Kayla. She's actually. Friend.

[Bretman Rock]

She was there. How do you say twee Tui?

[Princess May]

Tell me why. I thought how to pronounce her name was Toy 2.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, yeah. I feel like everyone does. I thought it was two. Two? Two. Yeah, I thought it was two until, like, Coachella, honestly, last year.

[Princess May]

Yeah, it's like, with a lisp, too.

[Bretman Rock]

Three. Yeah.

[Princess May]

But, yeah, I've been one. I've. I've always listened to her music.

[Bretman Rock]

I know we were supposed to hang out, but, girl, I had to be with the family. I had so much responsibilities this weekend. But there will be a next time because I did tell her she needs to see my chicken. She needs to see my mansion, and I can't wait to cook for her.

[Princess May]

Yeah, I wish. I wish I met her.

[Bretman Rock]

She's gonna come back. She loved Hawaii. Like, we were such a good crowd. Honestly, I feel like we closed off her tour really, really good.

[Princess May]

Please come back.

[Bretman Rock]

Please come back. And hopefully Princess will come and Cleo will be old enough because I told Clay yesterday, she was like, why didn't you tell me? I'm like, girl, you're not allowed in there. You're, like, so young. But she loves twee, of course. And she's just, like, a star. Like, I can't believe I have, like, pop star friends. Like, period. Super cute.

[Kat]

I heard her stage presence is really, really good.

[Princess May]

Yeah. I've watched, like, all of her.

[Bretman Rock]

Like, some people just belong on stage.

[Princess May]

Yeah, cutesy, too. She combits her outfit.

[Bretman Rock]

She was wearing. She. She was wearing. But she. Oh. Most of her tour outfits have been like, fancy club. Which is, I think, a Vietnamese designer. Correct. Maybe Thailand. But they sent me some clothes before, and they're really cute. They're very chic. What else did I write about? Oh, our cousin Colin. I wish. I wish Ms. K was here because our cousin, her brother, Ms. K's brother, Colin is in town. I have not seen Colin in five years.

[Princess May]

I know.

[Kat]

Five years.

[Bretman Rock]

Yes. He left in 20. 20.

[Princess May]

Oh, yeah.

[Kat]

Damn.

[Bretman Rock]

Well, around five years. Like, maybe a little bit shy of five years.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

But I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I can't believe. Because someone you grew up with, like, in the same house, same everything, you see them every time and then not seeing at all for five years, and then you see them again. I'm like, oh, my God, girl, we have grown.

[Princess May]

Yeah, the growth is really grossing.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, his stomach grew, which means. Which is good because that means he's eating. Yeah, he's eating. He's fed.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Ms. Tessa, we love her girlfriend.

[Princess May]

Yeah. I'm so happy for him. I know I can grab her. I'll grab her real quick.

[Bretman Rock]

All right, we're switching babies. Lele wants to be back on camera.

[Princess May]

Hi.

[Bretman Rock]

And we're back. Princess is breastfeeding now. I think this is the perfect time for fertility. Fertility.

[Princess May]

Well, what. What did you want me to talk about?

[Bretman Rock]

Well, since we on my journal, I was talking about how Ezekiel has been playing football games and you posted this week, Ezekiel's like big extended double family extravaganza. And a lot of the comments were commending you on co parenting. So maybe you can speak on co parenting tips and tricks. How hard or easy it is probably for you because I'm sure you're not the first and the last person to ever co parent in this world. There's probably other co parenters watching this right now. So maybe your next fertility advice is about that. So what are your co parenting advice to make it easier?

[Princess May]

Stick with the schedule. And also communicate as best as you can. Because sometimes I know, like we all have separate lives and we're all working and we're doing things and things come up. Yeah, and things come up. But like, I feel like most of our, like our disagreements and arguments with each other is like the communication part where like, how come you didn't tell me this or how come you didn't tell me that? It goes both ways because sometimes I forget, I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah.

[Princess May]

And stuff like that. And yeah, it's just. It's really about communicating. And also it's really about just your kid. The kid.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, of course.

[Princess May]

You know, and I feel like. And also I know that it's really crazy that I was able. Not crazy, but like, I'm so happy that I was able to look past everything that I went through with, you know, Ezekiel's dad and just really think about Ezekiel and what would make him happy, you know, period. And so I did that, you know, and I see how much he's. He's much more happier and like, I don't want to be selfish because. And also I. I have to take the little wins, you know, because there's some dads that don't want to be a part of their kids life. And like, I'm happy that, you know, Ezekiel's dad and Cleo's dad wants to be a part of their life. And why would I push that away, you know, why would I, why would I be selfish enough to like, just because me, me and them didn't, you.

[Bretman Rock]

Know, and this isn't a disrespect to like their current lovers, but like, yeah, you guys made those kids together, so you. It's only fair to like really share the responsibility of raising them as best as you. Whatever best is in your eyes, I guess, you know, so it is ultimately like you Both of your responsibilities because you made it together.

[Princess May]

Yeah. And also, it's. It's. I'm happy that also Tony understands where I'm. I'm coming from when it comes to co parenting.

[Bretman Rock]

And I'm sure they have understanding partners as well.

[Princess May]

Yes.

[Bretman Rock]

Like, because you were saying how you have. You and Cleo's stepmom or what she called. What does she. Auntie.

[Princess May]

Auntie. Yeah, Auntie.

[Bretman Rock]

You guys have a good relationship. You guys talk.

[Princess May]

Yeah, we talk here and there. But, like.

[Bretman Rock]

And you see Easy kills dad's girlfriend every Sunday football games.

[Princess May]

And like, we're all in a group chat. Oh, like, each. Like. Like I'm in a group chat. Tony's in a group chat with me and Cleo's dad and his girlfriend. And me and Tony's in a group chat with Ezekiel's dad and his girlfriend. So we're just like, hey, guys, we won't be able to pick them up today. Would you guys be able to? And then we kind of just make. Make it work, and we just kind of align to that.

[Bretman Rock]

I love that.

[Princess May]

Yeah, it's just. That's it, you know, period.

[Bretman Rock]

Communicate and stick to the schedule and the agreement.

[Kat]

Yes.

[Princess May]

And then, like, just. Yeah. Just know that the kids are watching, the kids are listening. So, yeah, it's best to just be the bigger person.

[Bretman Rock]

[Princess May]

Yes.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Kat]

That's really good advice.

[Bretman Rock]

That is a really great advice.

[Kat]

This one's really good. What's your first impression of your honey Boo Boo? I want to hear from each of you your first impression. Your man's your man.

[Bretman Rock]

So your first impression of justice and my first impression of Tony. I feel like I met Tony so long ago. At the same time, it's like Also, not that long ago. Yeah, because it was. I met him at your house now, and you had like. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. And he was with his cousins.

[Princess May]

His nephew.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. I just. My first impression was like, oh, he's quiet. Like, he just didn't really talk much. I talked to his cousins more, but I think he was maybe, like, shy or like, just overwhelmed with, like, everyone that was coming in. So maybe that's why he didn't talk. But I think, yeah, because I thought my first impression of him was like, oh, he's old. Because you were telling me, oh, my God, I'm dating this an uncle.

[Kat]

She used to call him uncle.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. She would tell me, I'm dating an uncle. And I'm like, okay. So I was expecting someone old. And, like, Princess also doesn't show me pictures of guys she talks to. So it's like, I really didn't know. Like, all I knew because justice don't watch this. But at the time also, I was seeing someone older. And then we were bonding about how, oh, my God, we're into, like, older men.

[Princess May]

Like that.

[Bretman Rock]

But it wasn't, like, serious for me. I was just like, but you were serious. I didn't know you were serious.

[Princess May]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

But until that time that I met him at your house.

[Princess May]

Yeah, it was my housewarming.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, your housewarming. So, yeah, that was my first impression. I was like, he's shy, but he's not old.

[Princess May]

Yeah, he's.

[Bretman Rock]

You just like to say he's old.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Okay.

[Princess May]

Well, he is 11 years older than me, so.

[Bretman Rock]

Well, that is old. But I. I think, like, in my head, I thought I was literally going to meet an uncle.

[Kat]

Like, gray hair, like an uncle.

[Princess May]

Oh, one uncle.

[Bretman Rock]

But he's like an uncle, you know?

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Like how I'm an uncle.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

But not an uncle. Yeah.

[Princess May]

So my first impression of justice was. Was it Casey's graduation?

[Bretman Rock]

I think so.

[Princess May]

Yes, it was.

[Kat]

Oh, yeah.

[Princess May]

We weren't talking.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, we were talking.

[Princess May]

So I was a little like, who's this? And who is this man he brought around?

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, I was like this. But you. You were talking to him.

[Princess May]

I was talking to him, but I wasn't talking to you.

[Bretman Rock]

Exactly.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

So what was your first impression?

[Princess May]

I was like, oh, my God, he's so sweet and nice. Yeah. But he. He wasn't really talking that much, so.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, he's also like, Tony, like. Yeah, he really.

[Princess May]

Don't be talking about, like, yeah, like, you have to talk to them first. Like, you have to be like, hey, what's up, you know, to get them comfortable.

[Bretman Rock]

But, yeah, we should ask for the third.

[Kat]

Me.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. What was your impression?

[Princess May]

Happy tonight?

[Kat]

My first impression of Tony, I was. I don't know if I can say this. I come down the stairs, and I'm like, who's this old man?

[Bretman Rock]

So old.

[Princess May]

Wildcat.

[Bretman Rock]

So I'm like, he's not old.

[Kat]

And you're like, he's old for princess at the time. Because she was. At the time, she was seeing people her age, I think. So when he came in, I was just like, oh, he's older. But also, there was, like, weird history because I used to talk to, like, one of his nephews back in the day, and I was like. And he brought it up, too. He was like, I heard you talk to my nephew. And I was like. I was like, you were the old one. It was a lot. Yeah, literally. But, no, he was really nice and quiet.

And he came in.

[Kat]

You were so. You were so, like, he's here. Like, you were so excited, and, like, you're so excited for your date. You guys were going to Waikai that day for the food trucks. And I just remember, like, we literally practiced, like, okay, so he's gonna come in. I'm gonna say hi. You guys are gonna go, oh, yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

You weren't doing too much yet. You didn't want to give too much personality yet. Yeah.

[Kat]

Oh, I was so nice in the beginning. I was like, very, very nice.

[Bretman Rock]

Now they're like public enemy number one.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Kat]

No, literally, I'm like, can he can take a joke? So I give him all the jokes. But, yeah, they were both very nice. They're both very compatible with both of you. Like, your. Your partners.

[Bretman Rock]

Chill vibes.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Princess May]

I feel like we're the light. The. We're like the opposite of them.

[Kat]

Oh, yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Yes.

[Kat]

They're both so similar that they're both the quiet ones, reserved, but they talk.

[Princess May]

To each other every time.

[Bretman Rock]

They really do talk to each other. I'm like, y'all talk. Y'all do that. We have things to do.

[Kat]

Literally. But, yeah, I think that was my first impression period. I was clocked in. Meeting both of Yalls. Man's first time.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. You were. Okay, next question. Oh, speaking of the devil. Well, both devils, actually. Justice and Cleo. Both text me. Justice just got off work. Oh, Cleo sent me this video.

[Princess May]

Strawberry inside of it.

[Bretman Rock]

I bought Cleo a strawberry mochi yesterday at Da Da Donkey and I told her to send me a video trying it.

[Princess May]

I have a video of Cleo every night saying good night to me. Love you.

[Kat]

That's so cute.

[Bretman Rock]

You should save it and make it like a whole thing.

[Princess May]

Mommy, I love you.

[Bretman Rock]

I love.

[Kat]

Send it back to her.

[Princess May]

Good night, Mommy, I love you.

[Bretman Rock]

Ah, that's so cutesy.

[Kat]

But do you send them back to her though?

[Princess May]

I just say good night. I love you.

[Kat]

You don't send a video.

[Princess May]

No, because I always miss it because I'm always with like either making dinner.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh.

[Princess May]

Or like, or like I FaceTime her right away.

[Bretman Rock]

What time does Cleo even sleep for school?

[Princess May]

Girl? 7 or 8. Her dad is like this.

[Kat]

Dang.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, it's probably because the dad works early too.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, that's why. Period. Wow. I could not even imagine sleeping at 7 or 8 when I was a kid. Girl.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Okay, this one is. How do you guys deal with your mom living back in the Philippines? Could she be coming back and forth?

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, she'd be coming back. I feel like people are still under the impression that my mom actually moved back to the Philippines because of our MTV show. But she, she does, she does go back and forth a lot. And I will say she does spend most of her time in the Philippines, but she is here all the time. Not when she misses us, but when she misses her fucking grandkids.

[Princess May]

Yeah, that and because she has to come back every six months.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh yeah. For her green card, of course. I honestly, like, I feel like because she's been doing it for so long, even before we were, we were working, like before we were working. Like, what am I saying? Before we were working and making money, like, my mom was always going back home to the Philippines for an extended amount of time.

[Princess May]

She was just, she would leave us and like she would fill up the.

[Bretman Rock]

The refrigerator and leave us for like four, three, four months.

[Princess May]

Yeah. And she would give us a hundred dollar each. Just a hundred dollars.

[Kat]

Wait, how old were you?

[Princess May]

We were young.

[Bretman Rock]

We were young.

[Kat]

We were like, is it in the pink house?

[Bretman Rock]

We were like 9, 10, 11.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Kat]

So there was like supervision in the area.

[Princess May]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Our aunties were all of our aunties. We had all of our cousins, all of our like, like older cousins that were like practically our babysitters. So she had babysitters. And like, honestly, like, I don't mean to Sound like, oh, we grew up fast, but, like, we. We've been walking to school since, like, kindergarten. Like, like, knowing how to, like, make our own food by, like, second grade. Like, so that's very, like, very good.

[Kat]

Like, both. I definitely noticed that both of you are so independent, and Princess definitely raises your children to be independent.

[Princess May]

Yeah. Yeah. Only because, like, my mom has always not left us, but, like, she was like. I feel like we were raised, like.

[Bretman Rock]

Survival mode very much.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

We kind of just, like, picked up from whatever we can pick up.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Because just, like. And we're not, like, trying to throw my mom under the bus.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Miss Girl was raising three kids on her own. On her own, and she did it well.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

You know, but because of that, like, I think she didn't really have a lot of time to, like.

[Princess May]

But she had a lot of healing to do, too.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, my God, Girl, for sure. Like, even. Just, like. No offense, Princess, but, like, even, like, when Princess was a kid, like, she didn't know how to brush her hair or do her hair. Yeah, I didn't, because my mom didn't, like, really show her. Like, you know, and if anyone showed her, it was dad. But then when dad did her hair, it was like, torture. Princess always has torture.

[Princess May]

Yeah. Like, growing up, like, I know that my mom was really always so busy. She was always working, so I. She never taught me how to cook and clean and.

[Bretman Rock]

But now, give her where credit is due, girl, because you and her been cooking.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

She's been teaching you how to cook for your kids.

[Princess May]

Yeah, she does.

[Bretman Rock]

No.

[Princess May]

Yeah. I'm saying she was really busy back then, and, like, now I understand as a mother, like, it gets really, really busy, frustrating. And of course, it's. Takes a lot of your time when you have other things to do, like, you know what I mean? Take care of yourself. Because even for myself, like, oh, when am I gonna choose me? You know what I mean? Like. Like, no. And then, like, the thing is, mom never had anyone.

[Bretman Rock]

That's what I'm saying. I'm like. Because now you imagine your four kids, but take out Tony.

[Princess May]

Yeah. Yeah. I. And I'm so happy that I have somebody like Tony because he's a part of the kid's life, you know?

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. Mom had to play Tony and Princess.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

So that's why we're like. I think I know what you're saying. Like, as a kid, like, we didn't. We resented her for it. And, like, we would say, like, oh, you favoritized JR and, like, you're Always you had more time for him, but, like, really, she had time for what she had time for, and, like, she really did what she could do.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Period.

[Kat]

But she raised three very successful children.

[Bretman Rock]

Like, honestly, on her own, period. But the question was, how do we feel about her being in the Philippines? I honestly, like, I don't really. I don't. Yeah. Not that I don't care, but I'm like, I'm so used to her not being around and her texting me, like, once a week.

[Princess May]

She's so much happier in the Philippines.

[Bretman Rock]

Because if you look at her, like, if whenever I'm just, like, wondering, like, oh, how mom's doing, I just go on her Facebook and, like, she has, like, four lives going on before the day even ends. So it's like, at least a lot.

[Princess May]

Of people are taking care of her than her coming back here taking care of other people. You know what I mean? So.

[Bretman Rock]

Because back home, like, she has all her sisters, all of her nieces that.

[Princess May]

Like, literally will do anything.

[Bretman Rock]

Will do anything for my mom. Like, my mom's nieces love her, which I loved. I'm like, yeah. So I know she's taking care of more in the Philippines. Yeah. Yeah.

[Princess May]

Somebody to talk to and stuff like that.

[Bretman Rock]

I think it's so interesting that, like, a lot of foreign parents, like, work their asses off when they move to America just to move back from where they come from, which I guess is their version of the American dream. I mean, yeah, Grandma, she and mom.

[Princess May]

And then she went back to the Philippines, and she died there.

[Bretman Rock]

And mom will probably, if she actually did one day, like, retire back in the Philippines.

[Princess May]

So she would do that.

[Kat]

Well, that's what you wouldn't do, too, but, yeah, retire back in the Philippines.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. But my version of retiring back to the Philippines, like, I want to work so hard and then just get, like, 67 acres. I don't know why I keep saying 67, but, like, 70 acres of land and then just, like, live on it, but, like, have, like, a little acre for, like, my mom, and then a little acre for, like, the. All the extended family so that we all kind of just like, work. Huh.

[Kat]

A compound.

[Bretman Rock]

Like, almost like a compound, but we almost own, like, a whole mountain.

[Kat]

Oh, wow.

[Bretman Rock]

And then just, like, the family just, like, works under me and, like.

[Kat]

Yeah, stuff like that. You like a beautiful farm and, like, the restaurant.

[Bretman Rock]

Like, I. I would, like, make all of my uncles raise, like, all my pets and animals, because I want, like, horses and pigs.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Princess May]

I really want to take the kids to The Philippines. I really, really want them to see, like, where we grew up, you know?

[Bretman Rock]

I would cackle to see how they would, like. I feel like they would love it. Like, honestly. Because, like, you got to do it when they're kids, though, because, like, when they're teens, like, they're gonna be so.

[Princess May]

Like, I don't want, like.

[Bretman Rock]

Because I can see E. Liking Philippines.

[Princess May]

Yes.

[Kat]

Oh, yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

But Cleo, being the iPad girly that she is now, I'm like, she's gonna talk. She's not gonna talk, but she's gonna miss that Internet.

[Princess May]

Yeah. But I feel like once she. She's really curious, like, that's. She really wants to go to the Philippines one day. Maybe next year when she's also older. I don't want to take care of them.

[Bretman Rock]

Girl traveling with four kids. Oh, my God.

[Princess May]

Four kids. I got a man, too.

[Bretman Rock]

I know, but, like, that's a lot. I'm like, oh, my God. That's your first family, like, big trip.

[Princess May]

We're gonna have mom over there, too.

[Kat]

You have all your aunties.

[Bretman Rock]

I know. I wish we can have, like, one big, like, family, like, trip. Like, we've been talking about it for so long, but I'm like, now that, like, everyone in the family is, like, doing good, like, thank God, like, we really all made it. I feel like we can soon. I feel we need to.

[Princess May]

We do.

[Bretman Rock]

We need a little homecoming.

[Kat]

That would be amazing.

[Princess May]

Our family reunion.

[Bretman Rock]

A little. Yes.

[Princess May]

And visit grandma.

[Bretman Rock]

Okay. Somebody asked, what is your favorite, like, content that we made ever?

[Princess May]

Oh, I really enjoy the challenges that we do. Like, the. Guess that song. Those are my favorite.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, my gosh. We should do. Well, somebody asked us to do another spelling bee contest.

[Princess May]

No.

[Bretman Rock]

Why not?

[Princess May]

Because. No, Princess, you have not been studying.

[Bretman Rock]

After all these years, babe.

[Princess May]

No, I have. It's just, like, I don't know. I don't wanna. No, I don't want to.

[Bretman Rock]

Why? Is it because people are still bullying you about macchiato today?

[Princess May]

They are machito.

[Bretman Rock]

Compatibility.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Kat]

I'm having, like, a fangirl moment because I used to watch y'all, like, doing videos together.

[Bretman Rock]

Wait, Cat, we should ask you, what is your favorite Breadman, Rock and Princess content?

[Kat]

They're just so funny. I used to watch, like, the compilations of you two just being siblings. Yeah, but I love the earlier ones. Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Do you remember, like, the first video.

[Kat]

You watched of usu you guys were eating before that? It was the jolly be.

[Princess May]

Oh, when we. I was wearing red and I had that yellow.

[Bretman Rock]

That is actually one of my most viewed YouTube videos. Really? One of them. I think it's cuz this is your.

[Princess May]

Old, old, old apartment.

[Kat]

The first.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, I know.

[Princess May]

Oh my God.

[Bretman Rock]

When Ms. K was our editor still.

[Princess May]

She was.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. She edited a couple of our videos.

[Princess May]

Oh my God. I didn't know that. That's cool.

[Bretman Rock]

That is fun. I feel like. I feel like we should do another challenge video soon.

[Princess May]

We should, but I don't want to. Disappointing be rich.

[Bretman Rock]

We should do what kind. We can't do singing once anymore.

[Kat]

You guys should be like, are you smarter than a fifth grader, girl?

[Bretman Rock]

She doesn't want to do any, like, educational tests.

[Princess May]

You know what you should do?

[Bretman Rock]

What?

[Princess May]

A part two of getting my license.

[Bretman Rock]

Girl, you haven't even taken the permit test.

[Kat]

Exactly.

[Bretman Rock]

So that was the point of that. We can do a part two. The part two of a driver's test after a permit is on the road. So I'm not getting on the road with your ass, Princess.

[Princess May]

No, I can actually drive. I just get really bad anxiety.

[Bretman Rock]

I don't want to see anxiety.

[Kat]

This is great quality in a driver.

[Bretman Rock]

Anxiety. She keeps on driving me. She said, what is so funny, bitch? Wait, Princess, somebody asked us about funny childhood stories. Do you have any funny childhood stories?

[Princess May]

No. I feel like I was really traumatized.

[Bretman Rock]

That's true. But do you not have any, like, funny ones?

[Princess May]

Funny?

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, funny or like, things you remember from childhood?

[Princess May]

Do you have one?

[Bretman Rock]

Yes. To paint the picture, I was in the Philippines by myself with my dad, and Princess was visiting. She was playing with us. You were playing with us. And okay, this is two stories in the same day. So Princess would be like, I speak English, like, telling everyone that she spoke English. And me and my cousin was like, say, tell us a word. What is a word? Say, speak in English right now. And she was like, I, Randa da fe.

[Princess May]

I remember that.

[Bretman Rock]

And I was like, what does that mean? And then she's like, I don't know. She. But she would say it in Ilocano. She's like, jacamo. And I'm like, so what is Aranda the Fey like? And I don't know why that I always remember it, because even now, like, probably 20 years later, I'm still thinking, like, what the fuck was Princess trying to say with Airanda the Fae? Because the way she had her nose up when she came to the Philippines, like, yeah, I am actually better than y'all because y'all are not from America. And I, Randa the Fey. No, but to me, that was your energy. She was like, oh, wow, this little girl really thinks she's all that because she's from America. Then all of our cousins were, like, speaking English then, and she'd just be like, I ran the faith. Do you know what you were trying to say?

[Princess May]

I don't know. I really don't know. I ran. Did a bay.

[Bretman Rock]

I. I'm thinking like, oh, I went to the fair, maybe, or I ran out of. I get out the way.

[Princess May]

I run away.

[Bretman Rock]

I ran away, maybe. I don't know. You should run away.

[Princess May]

I did.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, yeah, you did. Why'd you come back?

[Princess May]

And you went to look for me, remember?

[Bretman Rock]

Why'd you come back again?

[Princess May]

Because mom called the cops on me.

[Bretman Rock]

Girl, running away in Hawaii is so stupid. First of all, because that was your fault, because how you gonna run away in an island? Where are you going? Swimming. Where were you? That's why I'm like. When people run away in Hawaii, I'm like, where are you going? Town? You're gonna go to Waikiki to run away?

[Princess May]

Girl, I just feel like I was doing all this random because I was trying to get my mom' in the. In a very.

[Bretman Rock]

In the worst way.

[Princess May]

In the worst way.

[Bretman Rock]

And then my other favorite story is when we were playing house. I think I said this story before, so let me know if you guys said this before. But we were playing house, and I. We were in behind the jail, remember? So our house in the film, I.

[Princess May]

Think got caught in the.

[Bretman Rock]

Yes. So our house in the Philippines.

[Princess May]

Shut up.

[Bretman Rock]

Our house in the Philippines, two doors down. Quite literally two doors down is the jail. I don't know why, don't know how, don't want to know why. But behind the jail, there was, like, this pot of land where all the kids would play in and we would play house. House. Baha'I. Baha'I. Or we would just like, hang there and make like, whatever. So we are under this tree, and Princess is climbing this tree because she's really swore. And Princess has always been a girly girl. So she was wearing, like, a skirt. She was wearing a skirt. She's above the tree and she's wearing a skirt, and we're all down and she wanted to jump.

[Princess May]

Bremin left me there, went to go grab some.

[Bretman Rock]

So Princess wanted to jump out the tree and then land into the. The dirt. So she jumps, but her skirt gets caught on a branch.

[Princess May]

I wasn't thinking.

[Bretman Rock]

So it gets caught on the branch and. And she's swimming in the mid air, like. And we were like, poking her with a stick like a Pinata. But no one could get her down. Mind you, at this point it was me. It's like a lot of us playing, but there was. None of us were like, tall enough to like, grab her out. And so we all run out and like, left her like hanging there.

[Kat]

Oh, my God.

[Bretman Rock]

To grab an adult, obviously. But I think you were hanging for like five minutes.

[Princess May]

I don't know. But it was so scary.

[Kat]

Really?

[Princess May]

It was so scary. And I thought they were actually gonna leave me, you know, we came back.

[Bretman Rock]

I don't know which adult it was that.

[Princess May]

It was, you know, Manu, Sharon's brother, I think.

[Bretman Rock]

Sunny. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

[Princess May]

Because he's always.

[Bretman Rock]

He was always home, I think so. I think Uncle Sunny or Sunny ended up, like grabbing you out of the tree. But I don't know why that was so funny to me because every time I think about it, I'm like. Just seeing you, like, swimming in the air was so funny. It makes me cackle. Every. It doesn't. Oh, my God. It hits every time.

[Princess May]

Okay, there's this one funny childhood memory that I had. So there's this time when we were all jumping on the bed. We were jumping on the bed. It was Colin them and Kefa them was moving into that house, into that room.

[Bretman Rock]

No, they were already moved in.

[Princess May]

No, they weren't. Because they didn't have the double back bed yet.

[Bretman Rock]

No, they were clean. Cleaning the room out with the double back bed. And we were jumping on the bed.

[Princess May]

Yes, we were jumping on the bed. And then after that, like, we were really loud and we were really, really loud. And I just remember somebody. Somebody opens the door and like, I don't know, they're like, they said something. And then I fell down on the bed and I landed on the floor. And while they were getting. While everybody was getting in trouble, I was still laying down on the floor getting. Do you not remember?

[Bretman Rock]

Yes, but you said it wrong.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

No, so we were all in the bed, on the bed, jumping. And we stuffed our stomachs with the pillows and every. We would go in a circle. Like we jump in circles. And every time someone said go, we would all like mash in the center and see who falls off the bed.

[Princess May]

Yes. And I was the littlest one.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. And so we would all like smash each other on the bed. And I remembered somebody opened the door and Princess just flew out of the bed.

[Princess May]

And then we were getting in trouble and I was still on the floor.

[Bretman Rock]

She was on the drive. And we were all like. She did. Because we were like Too much in deep trouble for her to like, cry. Because if she cried, we would have been in more trouble.

[Princess May]

What is that?

[Kat]

I.

[Princess May]

Something like, you know, my, like my air.

[Bretman Rock]

Like, I think it knocked the wind out of her.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

I remembered also, like, her catching herself with her hand. And I literally saw her hand go in and out right there. And she just had to eat it up because she was getting in trouble.

[Princess May]

We were all getting in trouble.

[Bretman Rock]

That is so funny. Oh my God. Okay, my next story is I remembered when I forgot what age I was. I think I was in third grade. So I want. I want to say I was turning 9 or 10. And mom always leaves us $20.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

On our birthdays, if it lands on a school day or whenever, honestly, she would just give us $20. And I remembered making a deal with my mom that day, that night before. I'm like, mom, I really need the $20. S'more. Like school ass six books. School supply store is here. Like, bitch, I gotta get my scholastics. And she forgot it.

[Princess May]

But I had a $20.

[Bretman Rock]

And so I called her and I'm like, mom, you see, said you would give me the $20. Like, where is it? And she was like, oh, okay, Princess has $20. Can you just tell her to give you your $20? And this wouldn't give me my fucking $20. So I also. When I was a kid, I was probably like five, 20 times more dramatic than I am now.

[Princess May]

Problematic. Af.

[Bretman Rock]

Problematic and dramatic. And Princess didn't want to give me my 20 bucks, so I literally stayed home and I crawled under the sheets, under the blankets, and I stayed there until after school. So I was under the blanket and under the sheets for. From 8:00am to 2:00pm until I was found.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

When everyone came home. So I was under there for.

[Princess May]

And you locked the doors too.

[Bretman Rock]

11, 12, 1. I was under there for six hours.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

And I was.

[Princess May]

I.

[Bretman Rock]

When they found me, I was sweating profusely, girl. And I wouldn't wake up because I fainted from being. I dreamed.

[Princess May]

And then I remember calling my mom. And then I was like, mom.

[Bretman Rock]

She said, I think he's dead. And I remembered waking up because Auntie Stesan was home and she grabbed me and she like just started like rocking me. And I remembered waking up being rocked. And yeah, that's how dramatic I was. I was ready to risk it all. I was ready to go. If I didn't get my $20 from Princess, girl. Because she didn't. She. I was like, give me my 20 bucks. Like, you're Gonna get paid for it. After, she just was like, no. And I was like, oh, okay, well, I'm gonna go kill myself then.

[Princess May]

No. Dead ass. Dead ass. But that's not funny, Brad. That was like, that. I was really scared, you know, I was so scared that he. Because he did it three times already.

[Bretman Rock]

I'm a survivor. No, that was my second time. Girl don't play.

[Princess May]

Okay, well, there was another time that he did a third time.

[Bretman Rock]

The first time that happened was in the Philippines. And Princess said something. No, it wasn't even you.

[Princess May]

It wasn't me.

[Bretman Rock]

It was a cousin of mine, and he was like. This was when I was, like, not closeted, but I hated being made fun of for being girly.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

And my cousin made a joke about me being girly, and I got so upset that I laid outside in the sun all day. And I was not all day. I was there from, like, blazing hot 12 in the afternoon until 3. For three hours, I was in the sun. And then after that, as if I wasn't already dehydrated and, like, dry, I did the same thing. I went underneath the sheets. I don't know why. It's just, like, my comfort place, like, being claustrophobic like this. Like. And I was never, like. I tried to, like, unpack it during therapy and stuff like that. And I never really got down to, like, why. If I'm overwhelmed or if I overstimulated, I like to be, like. I like to be, like, confined if I'm, like, overwhelmed. Like, that's why, like, even when I'm having a rough day, like, I like to, like, stuff myself, like, maybe in the attic and, like, just be a hermit. But if I'm upset, bitch, just know I'm tucked somewhere.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

But after. Out in the sun, I want underneath the sheets. And my mom found me, like, sweating, and they said I didn't wake up for 30 minutes.

[Kat]

Oh, my God.

[Bretman Rock]

They were gonna rush me to the hospital. They don't. I just remember when I woke up, I was wet. I don't remember really, like. Yeah, because my mom said they dumped water on me. I was about to say that they even. They said they were biting me. Yeah, they. I. I obviously don't remember, but I remembered waking up wet and my mom crying.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Oh, my God.

[Princess May]

So dramatic. Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Because I was upset, so don't get me upset, or else I will kill myself. No, literally joking. Not. Not literally joking. So, yeah, there's that story as well of how dramatic I was. How were. How would you say you were like, As a child, Princess, other than an attention whore.

[Princess May]

I feel like I didn't get enough attention from Mom. I didn't get enough attention from.

[Bretman Rock]

I don't think anyone did, girl.

[Princess May]

Yeah. And you guys used to bully me a lot. And that's when I started to become very, like, attention whorish, where, like, I felt like I needed to fit in. And, like, I feel if I did something, even if I was doing something good, my mom was never really there. Like, if I had an award, she wouldn't really come. Like, YouTuber, you know, mom was there, girl.

[Bretman Rock]

She didn't even show up to my sixth grade graduation.

[Princess May]

Yeah. And.

[Bretman Rock]

And for my school play and Princess, I was full on Aladdin. On my school play, Princess was a narrator.

[Princess May]

She said I was rainbow fish.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, yeah. Wait, were you the rainbow fish?

[Princess May]

I was the rainbow fish, girl. Don't play with me.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, wait. We were both main characters. That's crazy. Never mind. But mom showed up to your play. Mom didn't even show up to my Aladdin play. And I thought she was late and I thought she.

[Princess May]

And she brought me a Kit Kat.

[Bretman Rock]

And at least she did.

[Princess May]

But, yeah, I feel like that was, like, my childhood. Like, I feel as if, like, mom wasn't really giving me attention. No one was really paying attention to me. And even when I was doing good, it wasn't really anything. And then if I was doing bad, that's. I feel like that's what mom does. Give me a.

[Bretman Rock]

That's very much mom for you, girl. No, that's justice.

[Princess May]

But like. But now, like, my mom. My mom gave all her attention to my kids, and I just wish that's how mom was with us. But I'm happy to see her as a grandma because, you know, she takes care of my kids really, really good. She loves on them really, really good. And that's. That fulfilled my childhood. That healed me a lot to see my mom there for my kids and. Yeah, you know, now she has more time for herself and period.

[Bretman Rock]

Also, if you guys see me on my phone, I'm literally looking up things that Princess and I talked about because I asked earlier. Oh, okay. Since we talked about a lot about it in this video, somebody said how to learn to forgive your parents and not to carry that resentment into adulthood. For me, I'll just speak for me. I think adulthood, like, teaches you so much on where your parents were coming from that it kind of makes you not necessarily forgive them in some senses and cases, but it makes you understand them a lot. Just like how we have been Here, like, saying things that we wish our mom did, but also understanding why she didn't have those times with us. Like, so I think, honestly, adulthood does teach you a lot of the reasonings behind why parents. Our parents, did the things that they've done. But that doesn't necessarily mean, like, you forgive them. I think you might understand them. And at least that's a step closer to forgiveness, I think.

[Princess May]

Yeah. Understanding.

[Bretman Rock]

Because, I mean, even for me, I will be very candid and admit that, like, there's days where I feel like I haven't really even forgiven dad, because I feel like I still carry that resentment, especially when I see mom and I'm like, oh, my God, like, this girl had to, like, figure out how to raise three kids on her own. She didn't ask for that. And, like, I don't know. I. I. In that sense, I can understand mom, but. And then in that same sense, I can't understand dad because I'm like, really? Like, why? So what would you say, princess? As for me, because I think your.

[Princess May]

Mine's just different.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. Because you're a mom now.

[Princess May]

And, like, yes, as a mom, I think about, you know, all those times with mom, and I. I think about if, you know, all those wrongs that I did, the mistakes I've made with my kids, will they forgive me one day? You know? So I think about myself. I think about mom as a mom. I think about Mercedita as a mom, like. Like. Of. Of me.

[Bretman Rock]

Like, yeah.

[Princess May]

You know, and mom has. Give. Gave me the best qualities of myself, I feel, because mom always chose us, you know? Like, she. She. She.

[Bretman Rock]

She could have left, too, honestly, period.

[Princess May]

You know what I mean? But she decided to. To raise us, you know, and. And like me, I can leave, too. You know what I mean? But I didn't. I. I could have become a drug addict or, you know, other things, but I chose my kids. And I felt like she had. She had given me that strength, you know, if my mom can do it, I can do it, you know? And because I was a single mom, too, you know, Two times.

[Bretman Rock]

Two times for two weeks. Okay.

[Princess May]

So I understand where mom is coming from in both sides, you know? And, yeah, I hope one day she also forgives herself, too, you know, because till this day, I feel like Mom. My mom, you know, she also needs to love herself and give herself credit for, you know, everything she's done for us and for herself.

[Bretman Rock]

And.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Effy, somebody said we always talk about a lot of Filipino traits that are good or things we love about being Filipino. But let's talk about maybe toxic traits of being Filipino or, like, maybe things that, like, we grew up believing and not necessarily, like, true. Or things that we hope to stop with our kids, like generational trauma, maybe. Effy.

[Princess May]

Okay. I feel like I've kept a lot of. I've kept a lot of myself to. To myself because I was always so scared of what my mom would say or feel because of things that I was doing. Like, I. Because at one point, like, I was a little. I feel like I was a little gay because I dated a girl, but I didn't want to. I didn't know how to tell my mom, like, hey, like, I'm. I think I'm gay, you know? And I didn't know how to, like, talk to her about it because she was.

[Bretman Rock]

She.

[Princess May]

She was always so stressed out, and so I was like, I don't want to stress her out more, you know, so. And, like, I was just always so scared to tell her things, like. And, yeah, I want to break that.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, like. Like being scared to open up to your parents.

[Princess May]

Opening up to my parents. Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

That's a good one. I'm. I'm glad that, like, I. I don't see that with Clay. I'm like, I think. I don't know. For me, I don't know if I have a different relationship with Claire than you, but she's very open with me. Like, I can be like, who do you have a crush on? I should be like. And I know I shouldn't be asking kids that they have about their crushes, but I know Cleo has a crush because she always want to bring it up.

[Princess May]

So it's not me bringing it up.

[Bretman Rock]

Trust me.

[Princess May]

No, Cleo tells me everything.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So it's just, like, breaking that curse of, like, you're not feeling like you can open up to mom because she.

[Princess May]

Girl.

[Bretman Rock]

Because mom will find a way to scold you about anything, girl. Love her, though.

[Princess May]

Yeah, we love her, but at least.

[Bretman Rock]

She doesn't do it anymore.

[Princess May]

But, yeah, I feel like therapy was never a thing for them, too, you.

[Bretman Rock]

Know, I feel for me. I think I. A Filipino trait, or maybe just, like, maybe a developing country, third world trait is that, like, a lot of parents really emphasize, like, success on their kids. And. And I'm glad that, like, mom never, like, told me I needed to be a nurse. I needed to be this. But mom would always compare me to, like, our cousins that may have done well. And, like, you have to do Better than them. You have to do this. So it's just, like, the pressure of doing, I think, was a lot as a kid, and I don't know if necessarily that's a Filipino trait or, or anything, but, like, just the, the pressure of being great for the family was a lot for me because I was just like, why doesn't Junior get this energy? I'm like, why do I gotta be a nurse? But Junior can be who he is so very much. Just, like, the unnecessary pressure, I think, of, like, being amazing and great and grand. But ultimately, I think what you were getting at was really a good point of, like, opening up. I think that goes with all generations of, like, Filipino. I think, like, it's amazing to see young Filipino kids, like, open up about their feelings, but I think it'd also be great to see adults, especially, like, our mom's age, to, like, talk about their feelings and why they are the way that they are. And I think that could even going back to the previous question, open up your kid's mind on understanding why you're so strict or why you are the way that you are. You know what I mean? So I would say that openness is a really good one.

[Princess May]

Yeah. To break 100.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah. Like, just to end it off on a high note, Princess. Speaking of, let's end this on a high note. I. What are you looking forward to?

[Princess May]

For what?

[Bretman Rock]

Just in general, I'm looking forward to going back to the Philippines. When this video is out, I will literally be in the Philippines.

[Princess May]

What I'm looking forward for going back to work and, like, doing content again. I feel like I've been doing content, you know, and, yeah, I'm so excited to see, for everybody to see, like, the kids also being involved into, like, you know, in my life because I, I feel like people really think you really out here taking care of the kids.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, girl.

[Princess May]

No, but, like, like, like I saying, like, you know, I, I, I'm so happy. Cleo and Ezekiel love being, you know, being, Being there and just trying new things with me. And, you know, I just, I just love how they're so open to doing.

[Bretman Rock]

Things, you know, doing things, trying things, eating things.

[Princess May]

Yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Wait, tell us a funny. Maybe last thing is tell us a funny, easy Kill and Cleo story, because I know you got a lot.

[Princess May]

Girl, there's too much.

[Bretman Rock]

Oh, tell them maybe the fish.

[Princess May]

One player, Ezekiel, loves fish. And because of you. Yes. Well, because of grand mom, too.

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah.

[Princess May]

Because she, she would always make fish soup, fish, fried fish, anything fish. Like, that's what they would eat every single time. Anyways, there was two pieces of fish left at my sister in law's house. And my sister in law was like, cleo, Ezekiel, are you guys hungry? And Ezekiel was like, no. And then Cleo was like, yes. And then. So Ezekiel came by the table and he saw Cleo eating the fish. And then he's like, never mind, I'm hungry. I want the fish too, but there's only two fishes left. And then Cleo was like, well, you can't have my fish. Like, this is mine. And ate. Lorena said, if you were hungry already, and you said, no, so you can't have my fish. And then. So Ezekiel just like, like, he was like all mad and, like irritated on the side. And then saw Atelierna was like, ezekiel, do you want me to fry you a fish? And then he was like, no, because I want that one. And then they were just going back and forth. And then Athelarano was like, is Cleo, do you want me to fry you a fish? And you can just get that to Ezekiel. And he was like, no, that's not fair because, you know, you. You already asked us if we wanted the fish, and I wanted the fish. And then he's like, so, no, this is my fish. So Adele arena ended up feeding them one by one, those two fish, period. I'm like, oh, my.

[Bretman Rock]

I just want to know why Izuki wanted that fish.

[Kat]

That Cleo.

[Princess May]

That's how they are. That's how they are.

[Bretman Rock]

That's like my dogs, honestly. Because I would get them six toys, one for each. Even the dogs that don't even play with the toys anymore, I would get one for Elle and Tora. They don't even have teeth for toys anymore, but they will always just fight for that one toy that, like, I would give them each a toy, but they would all pick on, like, let's say Torah's toy. And they would all want Taurus tour. They would all want Kai's toy. And I'm like, I could get them the same exact thing of something and they would want that one thing. So I don't know why that's such a kid thing, but I'm pretty sure if we think really hard, we were probably.

[Princess May]

Yeah, no, like, for this, I want.

[Bretman Rock]

That one that she has.

[Princess May]

Last year's Christmas, I got them everything the same.

[Bretman Rock]

Now you know why I do the same for everybody. Yeah, for Christmas, everyone gets the same. Because I don't want no being like, you spent $2 more on.

[Princess May]

No, I got them though. Like, everything the same. Like, even for Easter, like, okay, you're gonna get the same chocolate, you're gonna get the same toy. You're. But different colors. They're their color. Their. Their favorite color. So I kind of just learned them and to see what they like to do and stuff, like, what type of toy. But kids nowadays are so easy. Like, girl, get them a Roblox card.

[Bretman Rock]

No. Literally. Princess, should we do product of the days?

[Princess May]

Yes.

[Bretman Rock]

Do you want to start first?

[Princess May]

Yes.

[Bretman Rock]

I feel like yours is huge. We're not going to bring it because.

[Princess May]

It'S a lot, but, yeah, it's downstairs. I mean, it's in the car, but it's the Junior Dooner. It's the doona. It's the doona. I forgot what they call it. I think it's like a doona two in one. It's a stroller slash a. Was it a coding in a stroller slash a car seat. Car seat.

[Bretman Rock]

So basically, I d o o n a doona.

[Princess May]

Yeah. D o o n a. And it's super cutesy. It's perfect for the kids to push because it's really small and. Yeah, it's perfect. I love it so much. It's so convenient because I don't have to bring a stroller and a car seat. You know, whenever we have to go, it becomes a stroller and a car seat. Oh, yeah.

[Bretman Rock]

Love that. My favorite products of the week are these Hourglass Labs highlighters. Let me see the real name Bio Radiance Glassy Highlighter Balm. I have them on today. I got these because I wore them for the Oscars and my makeup artist Chanel was putting me on. She always puts me on the best stuff. These are only Sephora online exclusive right now. I'm not sure if you guys get them at the store yet. So I literally ordered this right after I stepped off the carpet because I was glowing, and I just like that. It's like a wet look. It looks like my skin.

[Kat]

I thought that was natural the whole time. Like, I didn't realize that was makeup.

[Princess May]

Oh, my God.

[Kat]

[Bretman Rock]

Yeah.
