- [05:17]
Alanized
And I'm so excited that I always start off with. I know she's been on the podcast a year ago, but I was actually re watching our episode and I feel like we didn't really dive into your childhood. So I really want to go ahead and do that today. So with that being said, how was Angie growing up?
- [05:54]
Angela Res
I am actually 19 years old, so technically I'm the middle child. I have six brothers in total, one baby sister. And it's a little confusing just because basically all of my siblings aren't my full siblings. My mom has two boys, a 33 year old son, a 31 year old son. Then she has me, which obviously I'm 19, my little sister who is 7 years old and we all have different dads. Besides my older brothers, they actually share the same dad from her previous marriage. My dad actually has four sons, which are my four brothers. One's 15, the other one's 13. I think the other one is around six or seven. He's the one who passed away a few years ago. I have my baby brother, which is actually two years old, so I have a big family. Always been a middle child, but technically I'm my dad's oldest, but I'm actually his only girl.
- [06:49]
Alanized
And you grew up with divorced parents. Tell us a little bit more about that.
- [06:53]
Angela Res
Growing up, obviously, like I had to deal with them being divorced. I lived with my mom my whole life, still live with her. She would have co parent with my dad regardless. My dad has always tried to be there. He has had, let's say, little moments where he's been a little absent just because, you know, he was growing up as well. For those of you who don't know, there's actually a huge age gap between my mom and dad, so 11 years. Oh, but my mom is the older one. Yeah, she's a little cougar. Yeah. Respectfully, she was a little cougar back then. Yeah. But to be fair, my dad did lie about his age, so she didn't know. If anyone sees him out in public, they know. My dad does look a lot older than my mom. My mom just turned 50, I believe my dad is 38, 39. Obviously my dad was way younger than my mom. So my, since I live with my mom, she's the one who took care of everything. She would take care of me. She would work a lot. Like I tell you guys, she would always be at work. I had one of my dias, my diapati, who literally took care of me every day, all the time, even till night time. My mom would get off, my tia would already have me fed, everything. I would just go home to sleep, get ready for school. My mom would take me to school. And then it was just the same old routine. She was obviously a single mom, so it was really hard for her. I don't blame her. And she did have two other sons at that time. She didn't have my sister yet, so she was raising basically three kids on her own. On her own. And I do have an older brother, which he would work as well. He actually dropped out of high school to help my mom obviously just have a better life. Like I was saying before, like, it was a little hard growing up with like them being divorced. I didn't really mind it in the beginning because I was Just too small to understand. Obviously. I remember, like, my dad always wanting to, like, come pick me up. Obviously, she never put child support on him, but they had their certain days. Yeah. An agreement. It was never obviously on paper, but it was just mutual because they got along. He would mostly always pick me up on the weekends. I remember, like, if it was yesterday, it was always on a Friday. He would always call my Thea because she was the one who would take care of me. Yeah. Literally. He would be like. And I would hear that phone call. I would cry. Oh, my God. I would cry. I didn't like to go with my dad. And it's nothing personal. Now that I look back at it, I feel, like, so bad. Like, I don't know why I'm gonna cry. I feel so bad because, like, oh, my God, I'm gonna cry. Like, I think I was just. I'm sorry. I was just too little to understand that. Like, that, like, he was trying to make an effort to be there, But I was just so used to living with my mom that I wouldn't like to go to his house. Not that he would treat me bad. No. My dad was so good to me until this day. He's the best dad ever.
- [09:53]
Alanized
Was it because, like, for you?
- [09:58]
Angela Res
Yeah. I was just so used to my mom. I was so used to my tia. I was so used to my brothers. You know, everyone at my mom's side and going to my dad's was so new. He had his wife, which is my stepmom. I love her. I adore her so much. She's amazing. But in the moment, I was just too small to understand. To me, in my eyes, it was like his other family. Yeah. So I wouldn't like it. And I have my meaties. Like, I love my mom. I. I love being with my mom. Even though she would work a lot, like, she would get home from work, I loved being with her. I would sleep with her. Like, everything. It was just a little hard adapting to going to my dad's house. And I feel like, till this day, I haven't really gotten used to it like, that. Obviously, now that I'm older, like, he doesn't call me and, like, force me, like. Like, I'm older. So I'm just like, I'll go over. I'm not going to sleep over, but, you know, I'll go over, but I got a little more comfortable. So now I'll be the one to call and be like, estab. Like, can I stay at the house? I want to stay with my Brothers. I love going over to be with my brothers, but sometimes I have like a little bit of like, sentiment. I feel really bad because, like, I feel like I pushed him away. And although I was a baby, I mean, I'm sure he doesn't blame me. Like, I'm sure my dad understands I was just a little girl. Like what I was like four or five, you know, I didn't know better and I just looked at it in such a negative way. But now that I'm growing up, it's just a lot. Yeah, it's just a lot easier for me. I always remember. This is so random, but I just always remember him noticing that I wouldn't like to go with him. There was a phase where I would push him away so much to the point where I feel like he looked at it as.
- [11:37]
Alanized
I'm not even gonna try.
- [11:38]
Angela Res
I'm not even gonna try. He would work a lot. He would get off of work, he would go with his compadres, his friends. See, he would go drink, he would, you know, hang out with all of his friends. And I feel like he didn't forget about me, but he just kind of. It wasn't his main focus to come and get me no more. And maybe it was cuz I pushed him away a little bit. But when he realized that he was doing that, he would try to come back to me with gifts. He would try and come back with money. And in that, at that point, obviously I was a little older, I kind of understood. I was in middle school, so I wanted new shoes, I wanted clothes, I wanted all of that.
- [12:16]
Alanized
You got money?
- [12:18]
Angela Res
Yeah, literally. So in my eyes, I was like, oh, okay. Like, whatever. He's buying me stuff. Might as well. He would call me and be like, okay. Oh, okay, count me in. Like, vamono, salatienda. In the moment, I thought I was like at the top of the world. Like, I thought, okay, my dad has many. Like, let's go, he's gonna buy me this. And. But I feel like he was just. How would I say? Like, apologizing with many.
- [12:42]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [12:42]
Angela Res
Once I started growing up is when I realized I started being like that. So I started noticing that if I wasn't really there, like physically for my loved ones, or if I would make mistakes with other people, I would try to be there financially instead. Especially when I started making money, I'd be like, oh, I'm just gonna buy them this. And like, it'll. It'll make up for what I did. Or if I didn't show up to their birthday, it's okay. I'll just give them money, like, do this. You know what I mean? And I feel like that's obviously not right, but I learned that I got that from him because growing up, that's how he would apologize and that's how he would be there for me, by financially being there. And don't get me wrong, I'm so thankful that he was able to be there financially. I know a lot of people sadly aren't able, you know, to even have that financially, nor physically, mentally. They. They're not able to have another parent there or a guardian. And I'm so thankful that I was able to have that. But I feel like as I grew up, I just physically wanted him there.
- [13:42]
Alanized
And I feel like that's so relatable because I feel like that's how I've become as an adult. And I literally, as soon as you were talking about your dad doing that, I'm like, oh, my God, is that what I'm doing? Buying my sobrinas's love?
- [13:54]
Angela Res
Because I've been doing that.
- [13:56]
Alanized
I'm not gonna lie. But I do feel like as I get older, I feel like I. I'm less present with my family because I got my own. So I feel like I always tend to be like the gifter because I feel like. But it really does come down lately, though. I'm not gonna lie. I've been telling my boyfriend, because I used to be that type of person, like, oh. But now I'm like, no, because that's what really is gonna matter in 10 with your step parents, you know, you would go to your dad's house and you didn't really like it. Did your parents both remarry really, like, shortly after they kind of like, divorced each other or who remarried first?
- [14:54]
Angela Res
Yeah. So I believe it was my dad who got with my stepmom right after he stopped being with my dad. So I knew her since literally I was little till this day. She always tells me, she's like. And everything. So, yeah, my dad ended up marrying my stepmom a few months after. I believe my mom. And then my mom actually got with my stepdad when I was 2 years old.
- [15:25]
Alanized
Oh, okay.
- [15:26]
Angela Res
So even then, like, I've basically known them my entire life. It's literally like I have. Have four parents. Like, there's no other way to it. This is so funny. This is so funny. I remember growing up, oh, my God, I hated my stepdad as a little girl, I would get so mad, and obviously I was little, so for me, I was jealous. My mom would want to go sleep over to his house because he lived with his brother. And I'd be like, this, this, and that. Or I remember my mom had a tr. And obviously my mom sometimes would pick him up or he would come out. Like, he would go out with us and anything. He would get in the truck, and I'd be like, keep in mind, I was a little girl. I believe I was, like, seven, six, even, probably younger. And I did not like him here because in my eyes, I was like, who is he? Like, you know what I mean? As I grew up, like, I realized, like, he's with my mom for a reason. He wouldn't be here for no reason. He obviously got with my mom, knowing that she had three kids. Kids. He was with her through tec, and then obviously she was with him. You know, it's not easy to get with someone who has kids, especially older kids. My brothers were already older. But if I'm being honest, I grew so much love for him till this day. I respect him. Sometimes we would have a lot of, like, differences. I wouldn't say, like, big problems, but it would just be since obviously I'm getting a little older. And I would notice he would try to tell me things like. Like, no mandarme, but a little bit like, mandarme. And obviously, I'm a little stubborn. To this day, in my head, I'm like, you're not my dad. Like, chill out. But I always remind myself, like, even if he's not my dad, he's basically been, like, a father figure, regardless if my dad was also there. It's basically like, I have two dads. He is my mom's boyfriend. He is my little sister's dad. I do live with him. I have to respect him no matter what. And it's not like he disrespects me. It's just little. You know, sometimes I'm not gonna lie. I film late at night because I have a lot of stuff to do. He'll text me, like, be quiet. This, this, and that. Be quiet. I work next morning, and in my head, I'm like, honey, no, you're not gonna tell me nothing. But then I'm also like, you know what? It's right. He works tomorrow morning. I can't really complain. But, yeah, overall, I do respect him. He respects me. Really thankful for him for, you know, doing a lot for our family as well. And same goes for my stepmom. I literally grew to love my stepmom so much. Sometimes it makes Me a little emotional because I remember like back then we had a few disagreements as well because obviously I was younger, I was naive, I didn't really understand like what, why is she here? Like why is she with my dad? Did she take away my dad from my mom? Obviously it was not like that. But it was just, you know, our parents grew up, they fell out of love and respectfully like they just found new people. My dad found her and she saved my dad from a lot of things. She helped my dad so much. If it wasn't for her, I honestly feel like my dad wouldn't be where he is. She's really hard working. She actually helps my dad so much with his company. Like I feel like his company is really successful because of her. She's so smart, so loving. She obviously raised my three brothers and one of my brothers in heaven. So it's like of course I have so much love for her and like I just appreciate my step parents no matter what.
- [18:47]
Alanized
At any moment. Did you ever kind of like resent them growing up? Up with you don't work things out so they can be together for you.
- [18:55]
Angela Res
It wasn't like a huge thought, like something that would always cross my mind that I would be so sad about cuz I would never really be so upset about it. But I will say when I would see my cousins or people around me with all of their parents, cuz most of my family, their parents are together. There's a few cousins that obviously their parents are split up but I would see that. And I remember specifically the Tia that I was talking about earlier. She's still with my Theo. They've been together for, for years. I believe it's been over like 20 years that they've been together and they have three kids actually. One is in heaven and two are still here thankfully. I obviously grew up super close with them so I just remember kind of living through them. Like one of my cousins is older, Alondra, I'm pretty sure you guys know her. She is my older cousin. She's also my madrina. I grew up super close with her. So I remember always being at my Tia's house house and having like, I remember just having such a close bond with her and like seeing my Thea and my Theo like as that father and mother figure together. And sometimes I would question, I'd be like oh like, like I wonder how it would be if my dad would like live with my mom. But then I also would like snap out of it and I would remind myself that you know, it didn't work out for a reason, obviously. You know, my dad did hurt my mom a lot, and I'm sure, like, my mom wanted better.
- [20:20]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [20:20]
Angela Res
And I'm so thankful that they were able to grow for me and still talk and, like, you know, still be cordial and keep it cordial because of me.
- [20:27]
Alanized
I'm so glad we're able to put that behind them and really just focus on raising you. You know, parents put their feelings first and don't really think about El Daniel said to the child they're raising. So I'm so glad your parents were able to get past that and really focus on really raising. Pass that. You have a lot of siblings. What was that like growing up? Did you guys get along?
- [21:05]
Angela Res
Everyone always ask me that since everyone knows I have a lot of siblings. But fun fact, none of them are my full siblings. So honestly, all of them are my half siblings. But I love them all so much. Like, it's crazy. Like, although obviously I only have sibling, like. Like some of my siblings are only from my mom's side. I love my dad's side as much as I love my mom's side. I don't know. I mean, I did grow up a bit distant from my dad's side just because I wasn't there. Every day, I wouldn't wake up to, obviously, my brothers from over there. But even till now, like, I'll go over to my dad's house. Like, it's like I see them every day. Even if. Yeah, it's obviously a little different just because, I mean, we probably don't know a lot about each other, how I know about my little sister, but I always try to keep it the same, and in my heart, the love is still the same. Obviously. I live with my mom, so I wake up to my little sister every day. I wake up to my older brother, and then I have another brother as well, which he is in rehab right now. So even then, even though he's so far, we'll hop on a phone call and it feels the exact, exact same. Like, it feels like if he's just here with us. So, yeah, honestly, I feel like the love for all of them is the same. I appreciate them so much, and I love having so many siblings. I feel like I can run to whoever, you know, just for comfort, just.
- [22:32]
Alanized
To get that love most.
- [22:34]
Angela Res
Honestly, I would never fight, like, ever, like, fight, fight, fight, just because I feel like they were all brothers. Yeah, they were. Yeah, they were all boys, so I wouldn't really get into, like, no fights or Nothing. The smallest or the middle one. Basically from my Dad's Dylan, the 13 year old. I remember growing up, he was such a brat. Like till this day, he's such a brat. We would crash a lot because we have the same personality. Okay, so he was very like hard headed. Very. Yes. We would bump heads a lot. So it was a little hard. And I would get annoyed because obviously they raised him differently than from what my mom raised me. You know what I mean? So in my head I'm like, where you could chill out. But I understood that we're obviously like raised differently, so we just grew to, you know, adapt to each other. But I feel like, I don't know, like.

Angela Res
For free, honey. I remember when there was phases where obviously I wouldn't go with my dad. He wouldn't pick me up no more. He would find a way to call me. He would cry. He would be like, please, sister, sleepover sister, please come over. Sister this, sister that. So siempre me busca. And till this day, he'll text me. He is getting a little older. He's going through that little phase where he don't care.
- [26:11]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [26:12]
Angela Res
Where he don't care. But I know deep down, he cares. I know he loves me. I know all my siblings love me. And it's funny, too, because although I didn't obviously fight with my sister, since she is a little younger than me, I remember when I found out my mom was pregnant with her, I was so mad. She's seven years old. She's literally like, yeah, she's growing up, but in my eyes, she's still a baby. And I. I don't really remember remember specifically how my mom told me she was pregnant, but I just remember through my mom's pregnancy, I was like, oh, my God. Like, it's gonna be a girl. I'm not gonna be the only girl no more. I was young. I was 11 when my mom was pregnant. Not that old, but not that young. I know, but in the moment, like, I was, like, mad. I was like, no. Like, I'm my mom's only girl. I'm my dad's only girl. Like, how. How is this even possible? But my sister was born. Not gonna lie, I was still so mad. Like, fun fact, she was born on my birthday.
- [27:04]
Alanized
Wait, for real? Do they share a birthday?
- [27:06]
Angela Res
Yeah. So she was born February 24th.
- [27:09]
Alanized
Ah, no.
- [27:10]
Angela Res
Yeah. 2017, I believe. Yeah, I was born, obviously, February 24th, 2005. So, yeah, I remember that day like it was yesterday. Literally waking up for school at, like, 6 in the morning, 6:30 in the morning. I remember the night before, we were at my Thea's house, and we were playing tomatodo. It's like La Pirillo where you spin the tea, I think. So we were playing that, and my mom was, like, stretching her legs, like, for the thing and, like, all that. My Theo would be like. Like, tomorrow. Like, everyone was just, like, clowning and, like, telling my mom that the baby. That my little sister was gonna be born the day of my birthday. This, this, and that. So when I woke up in the morning, in my head, I was like, is she.
- [28:01]
Alanized
She's replacing me.
- [28:02]
Angela Res
Is she replacing me? And then I woke up and I didn't hear nothing. And I remember I forgot who called me, but it was either my Thea that was at the hospital with my mom already, or it was my stepdad that called me. One of them called me and told me, oh, your mom's giving birth. It was just, this is your present, girl.
- [28:25]
Alanized
What was that like for you?
- [28:27]
Angela Res
I thought they were pranking me. I literally ran out of my room, went to their room. They weren't in there. I went outside to check if the cars were there. The cars were not there. So I was like, oh, my God, they're at the hospital. What the. So whatever. Like, a few minutes ended passing by. My Thea calls me back again and I just hear my baby sister in the back crying. Yeah, Vienna Sido Mirvanita. And then I was like, like, what?
- [28:51]
Alanized
She was burned on my birthday.
- [28:53]
Angela Res
And I was like, am I still going to go to school though, or.
- [28:55]
Alanized
Do I got to celebrate my birthday? That's crazy. You know what's so crazy? That is very common. But they're like, literally like almost 10 years apart. You go from being like the only girl, the baby. What was that like for you?
- [29:16]
Angela Res
Yeah, honestly, it was at first, was a little. I wouldn't want to say hard, cuz obviously. What the. That's nothing. But I was jealous. All the attention was on her and I was growing up. So in my eyes, I was like, oh, my goodness. Like, I thought I was the only girl. But if I'm being honest, I started, like, seeing everything from a different perspective. And at that same time, we were actually going through dealing with my brothers. His drug addiction.
- [29:46]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [29:47]
Angela Res
And him being deported and him going into rehab. Literally, it was all around the same time. So, like, in my eyes, I feel like my sister literally came to save me and my mom. Because, for example, let's say my mom didn't end up getting pregnant with my sister. My mom would have felt Solita. Without her, my mom wouldn't have another focus. You know, I feel like my sister really just came to save me and my mom specifically because we were just going through so much having to deal with, you know, my brother and everything. So I feel like, honestly, it was just a blessing in disguise. I don't know why. Like, I look back at it now and I'm like, I don't know why I saw it in such a negative way. I literally love my sister so much. She means the world to me, even if she's younger than me. Like, I just feel like it's a mini version of me. Literally born on my birthday. Same attitude, same feelings. Like, I'm like, girl, you sound just.
- [30:46]
Alanized
Like, you gotta change your personality, babe. Your entropy is taken.
- [30:50]
Angela Res
Yeah, literally. I'm like, girl, we're literally like twins. She's obviously so much smaller than me, but yeah, like, I just love her so much. Like, I don't know.
- [30:58]
Alanized
Do you guys celebrate birthdays together or no?
- [31:00]
Angela Res
Yeah, we've celebrated all of our birthdays together, so she was actually, I believe. I'm not too sure how old she was, but when I had my quinceanera, I believe she was 2 or 3. Yeah. So I felt so bad. Like, in my heart, I was like, oh, like, we didn't celebrate her birthday. We celebrated my quinceanera instead. But everything. I remember her first birthday party. They did it big. Like a big ass pastel. Like, so beautiful. But yeah, we do share birthdays. And I mean, and I don't really see nothing wrong with it no more. If anything, I love it because I feel like I get anxiety when it's my birthday and all the tensions on me. Yeah, I'm like, no, y'all singing happy birthday to her too. So, like, she's with me all the time. We cut our cake, we're together, blow the candles together. It's just something so beautiful, you know, just having her grow with me by my side, no matter.
- [31:56]
Alanized
What about you being an older sister, Nosbraticas that a lot of your childhood, you know, trying to make money to pay the bills. Was that the same scenario when your sister was born, if, like, you would help your mom kind of like raise your sister?
- [32:13]
Angela Res
Thankfully, my stepdad actually lived with us when my mom already gave birth to my sister and everything. Like I said before, my stepdad was in our life since I was 2 years old. So eventually we all did move in together and he was able to help my mom. And I feel like, honestly, it wasn't that bad for my sister growing up because she had her dad or she still has her dad till this day. So no matter what, he would call off of work right away if they needed a babysitter. He wouldn't go to work if they needed someone. Because one thing about my mom, my mom never calls off. No, my mom will show up to work 10 minutes early every day. My mom will never miss work. And even when she, like, wants to, she really can. Like, she will always show up. So, no, honestly, I feel like when my sister got here, or from what, how I Would see it. I wouldn't really think they were struggling.
- [33:07]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [33:07]
Angela Res
I mean, I wouldn't say holy. Like, we live in a big ass house. Like, we had everything.
- [33:12]
Alanized
You guys were good.
- [33:13]
Angela Res
We were good. We were comfortable. You know, thank God. Like, we. We had food every day. We had water. We had, obviously, the roof above our head, which I'm so thankful for. I feel like we upgraded it a little bit more than from when my mom was just raising me.
- [33:27]
Alanized
You guys were moving on up.
- [33:28]
Angela Res
Yeah, moving on up. We were doing good.
- [33:31]
Alanized
About Angie in school, how are you in school? Do you feel like you were, like, smart? How was Angie in school? Middle school? High school?
- [33:43]
Angela Res
Elementary. Middle school. I would like to see high school. Like, sophomore year. I was a straight A student. Like, I was a scholar. I loved school. I love to do my work, especially English. Oh, my God. I would love to, like, do essays. I would love to just write. I would. All of that. I loved it. I don't really think I was, like, a bad student, but I will say I was those students. My mom would always, always, always get phone calls that. Sorry, your daughter interrupts the class a lot. Your daughter basically a little bit of the class clown. I wasn't like, bura, like, oh, my God, like, like, this is Santa. Not like that. But I would talk a lot. Till this day, as you guys can tell, until Covid hit, I feel like Kovid just discouraged me so much.
- [34:34]
Alanized
Okay.
- [34:35]
Angela Res
Because I got lazy with doing online school during COVID that I would just half ass my classes. As long as I got a C, I didn't care. And back then, there was this thing where during quarantine, the grades weren't A through F. The grades weren't like that. It was just all P. Like, you passed. So regardless, if I got a C, it would just say P. So in my head, I'm like, well, my grades are gonna come in. I'm gonna at least try to get a C to pass. My mom's not even gonna know if it's an A or B or C or an S. Half. You know what? I'm fine.
- [35:06]
Alanized
She's gonna see the pnc.
- [35:07]
Angela Res
Yeah. Congratulations. So I was like, you know what? To just do the bare minimum. And I feel like that just. It didn't do me no good because once I entered my junior year, I didn't really care about school like that. I would obviously still go, but I would half ass everything.
- [35:25]
Alanized
You would just show up?
- [35:26]
Angela Res
Yeah, I would just show up, do my work. Okay. Thank you. I gotta see. I'm fine. I'm out. I believe it was mid June, senior year, where honestly I just stopped going to school. Like, I didn't like to show up. It was draining. I never really had like a big friend group right after covert, just because I feel like everyone parted their ways and I don't know, like, I just feel like I would. I was just always with my cousins instead of like a big friend group that I used, that I was used to. So I was just like, there's no point in going to school. I see my cousins out of school.
- [35:59]
Alanized
So when you stopped going.
- [36:02]
Angela Res
Yeah. They would call my day. They would just be like, oh, like your daughter hasn't came to school for two, three days. And then I would always just tell my mom, oh, I'm on my period, like I have cramps or see, literally sometimes I would be like, like, this isn't that. But I know my mom, like in her head she's like, literally. Yeah. So I was able to get through it through my junior year. But once we hit senior year, girl, I would not. I was trained. I did not like school. Like, I would literally go like a whole week without going. And I remember my cousin Chewy, he would always text me, he'd be like, are you gonna come to school today? I'd be like, no. He'd be like, really? Again? Like, oh my God.
- [36:46]
Alanized
That was me my senior year. Like I didn't go. So I transferred over to the high school where I met my boyfriend and my best friend my senior year.
- [36:55]
Angela Res
Okay?
- [36:57]
Alanized
Like my senior year they didn't have a eighth period or a sixth period. Like they had a free. They had like their last two periods. They were free. But yo, because I needed to make up a lot of credits, I had a full schedule. So I'll be like, you know what? If my boyfriend, well, at the time he was my friend. If my two friends aren't going to like their last two periods cuz they don't got a period, then I would literally like ditch. All the time, dude. All the time. Until it caught up to me. It caught up to me. Did that happen to you?
- [37:29]
Angela Res
Yes.
- [37:29]
Alanized
They're like, you ain't going to graduate.
- [37:32]
Angela Res
No, literally, it got to a point where I wouldn't want to go. And my mom had gotten a phone call and they were telling her if she doesn't finish the rest of her senior year with good grades or pass these certain classes, she's not going to graduate. And my mom was like, really? Literally. And it was a huge shock because like I said, I have Always loved school. And in that moment, like something snapped in me when my mom told me that I was like, there's no way. Like I put all this work in growing up, getting good grades, my mom working her ass off in school and I'm not gonna graduate. Like, like respectfully. That's so embarrassing for my mom. Yeah, that's how I see it. That's, that's really how I see it. Because it's the bare minimum. I was like, girl, one way or another. So I was all like, mom, how about I do online? Cuz honestly I, I couldn't go to school. I had a lot going on. Like mentally. There was just so much going on. I, I felt drained. I did not like to enter the school. Like, I just didn't like it. Like it just wasn't something I wanted for myself. And also I was doing YouTube and stuff at the moment and it was going really good for me. So in my mind I was like, girl, the check is good. I don't give a about school, but I still need to go for my mom to get that diploma. I don't care. So I asked her about online school and she approved. She's like, but are you still going to graduate if you do online? And I was like, no. Yes, I'm gonna graduate. She's like, are you gonna graduate with your school on time? Yeah, on time. And I was like, yes. Like I'm gonna get everything situated. I'm gonna talk to my counselors and see what they can do for me. And thankfully I had a meeting with them. They told me, they're like, I'm not too sure if you're able to join or they're going to accept you. Cuz I had, I think like all Ds and like I wouldn't say all Fs, but I probably.
- [39:23]
Alanized
They weren't good grades.
- [39:24]
Angela Res
They were good grades. So he's like, in order to go online, you need to have good grades. So they could see you're like disciplined and on your, you know, on your. Yeah, on your. So I was like, okay. So in my head I'm like, they're not going to accept me. I believe I signed up in November and then December before we went on break. He told me, he's like, okay, like you got approved. You're able to start on January for the new year when we go back to school from winter break. And I was like, you know what? Perfect. He sent over the email to my mom. She signed everything, approved everything. And I started online school. And I was Able to graduate with my class on time period and walk the stage. Got my diploma. I don't do with that diploma. I'm doing good with my YouTube. But, you know, like, I did it.
- [40:09]
Alanized
At least you have it. Yeah, I feel like it happens a lot because I feel like when you start getting. I feel like senior year, junior year, whether that's like, oh, I don't want to give a. Because everyone around me don't give a. So I want to fit in or whatever it is. Because I remember my senior, I literally, literally was ditching, wasn't doing my homework. And at the time, I've always kind of been like you. Like, I was able to back up my grades, but I was always like the talker. I was always kind of like the class clown. I remember I had la primera bisque give me. Mom said the cuenta that I was ditching and I wasn't gonna graduate. I remember I was in Ms. Girou's class. It was my. It was like Cuban. What was that? Irma, do you remember health? Like on the tensenhe, you know, like the sex and all that stuff. So I was actually in that class with a bunch of freshmen. Keep in mind that, you know, I had just transferred from a different district to that school, so I had actually joined a freshman class. Because in that district you had to take a health class to graduate. I didn't have to in the other school, so, like, I needed to make it up. So you met cuerdo cannesa class. I remember my mom called me. I received this call, and me fucking being like, oh, I can do whatever the hell I want. I was like, oh, I'm going to go answer the call call. I go to the back of the room thinking me being cute, like, my mom's calling me. You know, I answer that because as soon as they answered, my mom was going off me all taking off speaker and she was telling me I wasn't going to graduate. That moment, even though I was embarrassed, I was like, no, in las that you literally have spent over 10 plus years going to school in. And then also I came for my sister. Not being a high school graduate, she dropped out her senior year, months before graduating. So I was like, you know, a little bit more about other things. We have a lot of themas that I want to talk about that are so new all talk about. But I want to catch up a little bit about in the last episode, social media. What was her aha moment. None of that. Because if you guys do buy so we're going to Jump into catching up. The first thing I want to catch up on is the haters in your city that, you know, as you were growing on social media, so were your haters haters, you know, in person in your hometown. Has that changed now that you've grown so much since?
- [43:00]
Angela Res
If you guys saw the last episode, I gave, like, the story time about the fight and everything. Honestly, after that, nothing really happened, right? Everything was good. Like, no hate towards. None of that. Like, that was honestly just in my past. But I would say not the last year, but last few months or even gear, actually, because fun fact, fact, once I went back after that podcast that we filmed, that's when everything started with some new. Oh, my goodness gracious. When I tell you guys, it's literally been like a living hell. I haven't really talked about it. Honestly. I made a story time with not that many details a few months ago on my YouTube. But then after that, a few things, a few more things happened. So then I was like, oh, my goodness. Obviously I live in a really little city. Like, I'm talking about little. Everyone knows each other. You can step outside, you'll know the Vesino. You'll know the Vesino's brother, the Vesino sister. Like, it's just like that. So honestly, everyone knows each other. I'm sure, like, everyone knows about everything that goes on around town. I forgot specifically what month it was, but I'm sure it was like a year ago. I was actually with my boyfriend. We had gotten in and out. It was like, late at night. I believe he got off of work. Work. He went home, got ready, whatever, picked me up. We want to go get food. You know, typical. Like, late at night, once we got the in and out, we went to go park at a view at that time. Since this was a year ago, this is when we first started dating, he wouldn't go to my house late at night. He hadn't, like, been able to sleep over yet. Like, it was very much like we were still, like, you know, being able to do all that. So we didn't go to my house. We were like, oh, let's just go to park at the view. Like, park at the beach. And then he's like, let's just go to a view. Or I forgot if it was him or me who wanted to go to the view. But whatever, whatever. Regardless, we went and I was actually the one in the car driving. And we parked, Whatever we were eating, and I believe we were watching either YouTube or Netflix. We had my phone on My little dash. Whatever we were eating. Tell me why. Like five minutes into me biting my. A car, like, pulls up. So let's say we're just like sitting like this. Like, it's. It's me and my boyfriend, obviously. I'm on the passenger side right here. Here. Wait, passengers?
- [45:14]
Alanized
Yeah, passenger.
- [45:15]
Angela Res
Yeah, passenger. I'm the one that's driving.
- [45:17]
Alanized
Oh, so you're the driver.
- [45:18]
Angela Res
Oh, driver. Yeah. I'm in the driver's seat on the left and he's on the right. He's the passenger. And it's just a one way street where we're parked for the view. But instead of like the car coming the correct way, it comes up, like, the opposite way.
- [45:33]
Alanized
So you're like in front of each other.
- [45:34]
Angela Res
Yeah.
- [45:34]
Alanized
Okay.
- [45:35]
Angela Res
And it's coming up, but through the side because there's, like, space. It has its high beams on. I don't recognize the car. Obviously I'm not gonna be like, oh, I know who that is. Is it. I don't know. Like, I was just there and they were coming through the wrong way. So in my head I was like, who the is this? Like, they probably are not from here because everyone knows that lives here. This is a one way street. You don't go up through here. But whatever. The car passes by with the high beams on and we just kind of like, look like, oh, what the. Like this person is probably like a tweaker or something. Like, they don't know what they're doing, but whatever. The car ends up passing by. We're eating, whatever, watching the YouTube video. Video. And then two, three minutes later, the car comes next to us by the way we're parked. So it just stops right here. It's not a parking, but it's just like a place where you can just go down. It comes the correct way now and it stops and. Well, I don't really. I don't really think much of it because I'm eating.
- [46:28]
Alanized
You're finding your own business.
- [46:29]
Angela Res
What do I have to worry about sitting down, eating in and out with my man? And then I just hear, like, a lot of, like, yapping, like screaming.
- [46:36]
Alanized
Like, from girls.
- [46:37]
Angela Res
Yeah, girls, but. Or I thought it sounded like a seora, like an old lady. So in my head I'm like, oh, my God. Like, what the. So whatever. I look to my right and it's two girls in a car just yelling at our car. And once again, I was so lea. Like naive. I was like, no, in my head, I thought she was like, tweaking. Like, I thought, like, she was like, yeah, yeah.
- [47:05]
Alanized
Like, she's going, yeah, yeah.
- [47:07]
Angela Res
You know, like, going through it. I put my window down, and then I'm just looking. She's yelling at me, talking about, like, are you tripping? This, this, and that. Like, basically just telling me, like, so many things.
- [47:18]
Alanized
Like, fighting words. Yeah, yeah.
- [47:20]
Angela Res
And once again, I was like, oh, my God, poit. She confused me. Like, is she okay? She looked like a white old lady. Like, I was like, I don't. I don't even talk to white old ladies. Like, I don't know a white old lady that I can think of from the top of my head. So I'm like, excuse me. Like, I'm up. Nice. I'm like, excuse me. Like, are you okay? Like, whatever. I'm not asking, like, if she's fine. And she's like, like, this, this, and now I'm gonna you up. And I was like, what? I was like, who are you? And then she told me her name, and she's like, yeah, you know who I am. And she was just yelling.
- [47:52]
Alanized
You're like, I don't.
- [47:53]
Angela Res
And, no, literally. And in my head was like, wait a minute. What the are you doing? Like, in my head, I'm like, what? Like, I haven't. I haven't heard of her in years.
- [48:03]
Alanized
So it was someone you knew?
- [48:04]
Angela Res
It was someone I knew, but I hadn't talked to since I was, like.
- [48:08]
Alanized
In sixth grade diapers.
- [48:10]
Angela Res
Literally, like, sixth, seventh grade. Like, yeah. And then in my head, like, I don't know why, it was like that. That's so Raven moment. I thought back, and I was like, wait, I remember her. And then I. I said her and her name, and I was like, what do you mean? I was like, what are you doing here? Like, why are you pulling up on me? And then she's like, yeah, like, you're talking all this, this, this, this and that. And she just started talking about. She's all like, yeah, you want to, like, get with all the guys that I have got with this, this, and that. And I was like, what? I was like, I literally have a boyfriend. Like, what are you talking about? I kid, you know? I was so confused. I was like, what are you talking about? And then she's all like, so you're acting like, this, this, and that, like, you're not doing this and that. And I was like, no. Like, what are you talking about? And she's like, put that on your mother's life. And I was like, on my mother's life. Like, I don't know what you're talking about. And then she was like, your mom's going to die. Ho. This, this and that. And she started saying stuff about my mom. Just everything. She just started, like, just talking so much. And in my head, I was just like, oh, my goodness. Keep in mind, this is when me and my boyfriend first started, you know, dating. So it was fresh for us. And in my head, I was like, oh, my God, how embarrassing. Like, he's going to think I'm such a hoe. Like, no, man.
- [49:19]
Alanized
Was.
- [49:21]
Angela Res
She was all like, yeah, you know your girlfriend, like, talking to him. She's all like, check her phone. She's a hoe. This, this and that. And I looked at him and I.
- [49:29]
Alanized
Was like, bro, get me out of here. Yeah.
- [49:33]
Angela Res
I was like, no. Yeah. And like, my boyfriend has always been the type, like, he doesn't do too much. Like, he will not do too much. Like, if he has to handle something, he'll handle it. He's not the type of guy that. That just talks and, like, talks out his ass. You'll tell him stuff. He'll just literally be there, like, all right, like, you know, whatever. But he was, like, hearing that, and in his head he's all like, bro, like, let me put the window up. And I was like, no. Like, why is she talking all this mess? Whatever. I honestly forgot what I said that triggered her. So she's like, all right, now I'm gonna beat your ass. She got out her car with the girl. She was coming towards the driver's side where I was at that for me to get out to fight me. And the girl was coming behind me. Like, I'm sure they wanted to jump me or do something. So in my head I was like, okay, it's just my boyfriend here. By the way, this is tall as. Like, you think you're tall? No, Like, I saw a giraffe. No, no, like, literally taller. Like, I'm talking about, like, draft her from. For the NBA. Yes, literally. High bald.

Yeah, he could defend me, whatever, but I didn't want that. I didn't want him to have to get into a girl fight. Cuz that specific person in general is known for like doing that on purpose. To trigger other guys reaction. Yeah, to get a reaction and to trigger other guys. To end up calling the guys women beaters to call this.
- [51:53]
Alanized
It's.
- [51:53]
Angela Res
It's all over.
- [51:57]
Alanized
It's.
- [51:58]
Angela Res
It's a whole like, plan. Like I. I already know I' smarter than that. So I didn't give her what she wanted. But even though in my head I was like, okay, it's either I get off get my ass beat or I just drive off. Yeah, literally. But the girl that she was with was in front of my car like this.
- [52:15]
Alanized
You're like 10 points right now, baby.
- [52:17]
Angela Res
Dude, she was standing thinking that her standing like a statue was gonna like make my car stop. Oh, when I tell you, I was like, oh, oh my God, I don't want to do this, but I'm gonna have to. My boyfriend was literally like, put it in drive and hit that.
- [52:32]
Alanized
I would have been.
- [52:33]
Angela Res
And then I was all like. I was like, but my car. I was thinking about my car because a few just. I had just got in my car. So I was like, no, there's no way. Like there can't be no scratches on my car, no nothing. He's all like, drive home. And I was like, okay, put that in drive. I didn't hit her hella hard. Like I pressed the gas. Yeah, I hit her kneecaps a, a bit. And I felt bad, so I stopped a bit. And she like, obviously since I hit her, she was like, oh, oh my God, this hit me. And she moved out the way because she saw it wasn't gonna stop no more. And then the other girl all of a sudden is acting brand new. She's like, you hit my friend with your car.
- [53:13]
Alanized
You're like, I'll do it again.
- [53:16]
Angela Res
They were just yelling, talking about me hitting them with the car. But it's like you wanted to jump me. I don't even know you like that. I haven't talked to you for years. Years. I'm not gonna.
- [53:24]
Alanized
I think it's reasonable. Exactly. You were not gonna fight a. That you're like, exactly.
- [53:28]
Angela Res
And in my head, like, I'm a very, like, I'm super, like, real with what I do. If I knew deep down I did something wrong to her and she had a right to want to fight me, I'd be like, all right, girl, it's good. Like, you know what? Let's run it up. Like, you want to fight me? It's good. You're gonna beat my ass regardless. I deserve it because I did something I didn't do to her. Her, though. So in my mind, I already knew you had no reason to come and do this to me. Now you're just punking me, cuz you're tall as. And you know I'm with my boyfriend. And there was just a whole thing about it that, like, I came to the conclusion it was probably a setup from someone around me, close to me. But at the end of the day, like, I don't really want to, like, get into details just because it's like, it passed. You know what I mean? It ended up passing, but there was two more occasions.
- [54:15]

With her.
- [54:15]
Angela Res
No, with the girl that I hit with the car. Now. Now, she came up to me at a basketball game in front of my family and wanted to fight me. She caused a whole scene. And I was just literally sitting like this with, like, my hands in my pocket, just staring at her, talking to me crazy. My boyfriend stood up. Literally, my boyfriend stood up for me. He put his hands like this because I guess she wanted to stalk me. He put his hands, like, basically, like, covering her. And then he's like, take this outside. Like, you're not doing this in here. Because it was at a basketball game with tons of.
- [54:44]
Alanized
And your family was there.
- [54:45]
Angela Res
And my family was ghetto gang, girl. That's beyond me. Like, don't do that right now. I'm like, girl, take this to an alley or something. Like, basketball game, really? So whatever. My boyfriend got up, told her that she looked up at my boyfriend. Pushed the out of him. Yeah, pushed the out of him. She didn't drop him, but he, like, went back and like, grabbed on the bleachers. And then that's when, like, obviously, my family stood up. The security came. My other cousin's Girlfriend came, held the girl back, she started going crazy and I was like, girl, you caused the whole scene. And at the end of the day, the person you were trying to fight didn't get touched.
- [55:20]
Alanized
Did people record it?
- [55:21]
Angela Res
No, not at all. And it's crazy because every time stuff like this happens, there's never been no one to record it. And I'm thankful because obviously I don't want this to air out. It's embarrassing. But I'm sitting here, you know, telling the story because it's like it's real life. It's not always just cute. Like oh yeah, like oh my God, this is so fun doing social media. Like it is fun. I love it so much. But it's annoying when girls see that you love it so much to the point where they want to make you hate it. I know that's what they're trying to do. They want me to hate my life cuz they probably hate theirs. But it's all like, we could love our life together. You don't have to do all this. And even recently, like a few weeks ago, me and my boyfriend had went out to dinner for not our anniversary, but like our month.
- [56:02]
Alanized
Yeah, yeah, whatever. You guys are celebrating.
- [56:04]
Angela Res
Yeah, celebrating. We had went to dinner and we went to the girl's job since I met. Yeah. I don't know if she works. I don't know nothing about her. Like I don't know like what she does. I don't know nothing. Her daily routine, none of that. So we just went to go eat dinner. We found that on Yelp.
- [56:19]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [56:20]
Angela Res
Looked like it was good. We went and then once we got there, I'm. Every time I'm with my boyfriend, I'm on, I'm in la la land. Like he takes over. I'm just like la la la la la. Like staring, you know, whatever, on my phone, taking pictures of myself on Tik Tok. I don't care. Cuz he's, you know, taking, he's over control on what we're doing. And when we got there he was like, you know, checking in for our table, whatever, whatever. And we actually had a 30 minute wait period but it was time for us to sit down. And I just feel like a, like a, like a big energy, like bad energy just around me and I feel someone staring. Like, you know when you can just tell someone is staring at you?
- [56:58]
Alanized
You're like.
- [56:58]
Angela Res
I literally. I look and I just see the girl that wanted to find me the first time sitting down at a table and she's like, like this straight up.
- [57:11]
Alanized
Like, you do.
- [57:12]
Angela Res
Literally just mugging the out of me. Like, she wanted to e me out with her looks, like, I kid you not. And I was like, oh. Like, okay. I literally look. I was like, I saw her and I just look back like, nothing. Like, if I didn't see her, none of that acted like nothing was wrong. We ordered dinner. Whole time, my boyfriend was literally overthinking everything. He's like, all right, we're going to eat dinner. Once we get out, she's probably going to want to fight you.
- [57:39]
Alanized
Like, yeah, you guys were already planning it. Yeah, yeah.
- [57:41]
Angela Res
She key because me, I was in la la land. Once again, I was eating my pasta. I was like, babe, who cares? Like, she's gonna be mad. She's gonna be mad.
- [57:47]
Alanized
Let's enjoy this pasta before I get my ass beat.
- [57:50]
Angela Res
Yeah, she's gonna. She's been wanting to do this for a year now. Like, whatever. It's okay, babe. We were put here for a reason. We came to eat dinner here for a reason. It happened. He's like, no, babe, like you, you have to be careful. You got to think this through, this, this and that. So he ended up calling his cousin. His cousin has a girlfriend, which is my friend. And he's like, oh, can you guys just come outside? Like, just make sure once me and my girlfriend get out of this restaurant, if anything happens, you guys are here, you know, whatever. My boyfriend's cousin and his girlfriend end up getting to the restaurant. By the way, the girl wasn't on the clock. She was actually eating there at the restaurant that we are. I didn't see, I guess, but she was with another girl. My boyfriend had, like, looked to see because I told him right there, and he told me, like, that she was with another person. But eventually, when my boyfriend's cousin and girlfriend got there outside the restaurant to wait for us, just to make sure we made it to our car safely. They said the girl got out of the restaurant and she was waiting for me with three other girls outside.
- [58:49]
Alanized
Oh, my God.
- [58:51]
Angela Res
Yeah, she was waiting for me. And once again, I was eating my dinner. And then my friend that was outside waiting, you know, she texted me and she's like, girl, she's waiting behind the bush right where you get out of the exact exit. She's like, so as soon as you get out the exit, she's going to try and do something, snatch you from, run up on you. And in my head, I was, oh, my God. I didn't even bring a liga. Like, I'mma have To wear my man's hoodie or something. I had a cute little outfit, makeup done. So I was oh my God, how lights ruined. Literally. Yeah. So I was like, okay, it's fine. Few minutes ended up happening. We got out and she ended up going to her car and it was just a whole thing where my cousin had to come and then it was just a whole thing.
- [59:33]
Alanized
Bill.
- [59:34]
Angela Res
No, it didn't end up nothing Ended up happening. Cuz she went to her car cuz her co the people that she was with outside ended up going back inside to the restaurant and she was by herself. So she just went into her car and then she parked like two cars in front of us and we just went into our car and nothing happened. But I think it's cuz we took too long to come out so she's like no. And she probably seen other of our mutuals there and she was like oh, like she had become a rumble. Yeah, exactly. So I'm pretty sure she thought it through. She's like, yeah, this is not a good idea. Let me settle down. Ended up happening and we ended up going home. Everything was good.
- [60:06]
Alanized
You know that you this offer started because you know she was trying to run up on you. You didn't even remember the home girl. Then when you finally did, you're like, oh, we don't even have beef like that. What the hell do you feel like a lot of it has to do because of who you are online?
- [60:20]
Angela Res
Honestly, I never like to think of it like that. Cuz I know this is so corny to say day, but I'm literally normal. Like I feel like the numbers will never in my life defined who I am. So from my perspective, I don't see it like that. In my perspective I'm like, well, they're just hating as just because I'm a human. Because regardless if you have followers or not, people are gonna hate you. Like there's always going to be people who dislike you. So I try not to think of it like that but for me it's just funny because it's like then why weren't they doing this when I wasn't on social media?
- [60:51]
Alanized
Yeah. Hopefully after, you know, this whole year, I hope that the girl kind of just lays off and it's like girl, no. And there's not really a reason to fight.
- [61:05]
Angela Res
Yeah, I'm going to be 20.
- [61:09]
Alanized
But I hope that ends up working out. I want to catch up a little bit on something else, you know about your brother that was dealing with addiction. I feel like a lot of the reason why, you know, the interview blew up is like I said, you being so real. You know, I feel like it's very hard when people open up about real life issues. And you did just that. You opened up about your brother's struggle with addiction and la ultima platos and ina. You know, he had just gotten deported to Mexico. He was in and out of rehab. How is he doing now? Do you feel like he's doing much better since the last time we spoke?
- [61:46]
Angela Res
Yeah. So actually the last time we spoke, I believe it was a few months after that. He was doing really good. So we were able to let him leave rehab and go back to the house that he was staying at in Mexico. Cuz well, he ended up getting a girlfriend. So he proved to us, you know, he was doing good, thankfully. We're honestly so happy. We're like, okay, he's going to get her pregnant. They're going to create a family. Oh my goodness.
- [62:13]
Alanized
Like, that's going to get him straight.
- [62:14]
Angela Res
That's going to get him straight. Yeah. We were really happy. He was honestly proving to us that he was doing super good. Like, we were so happy. Like my mom literally told him, she was all like, honestly, like, as long as you guys are doing good and like, I don't mind sending you guys money so you guys can eat. Sending you guys money for you guys can go out and have fun. I even told her, I was like, I'll help you. Like as long as I know that he's bettering himself with her, so be it. It. Like they would even go like to other publicitos there to go to the beach. Like if you guys know, like Acapulco has a beautiful beach, they would do so much stuff. But over time, I believe like the.
- [62:56]
Alanized
I wouldn't say withdrawals.
- [62:58]
Angela Res
Yes, like withdrawals. Everything was kicking in. Let's say he would have problems with her. So his escape wasn't her anymore. His escape was back to the drugs. Drugs. So eventually, like it just got worse again. He sadly ended up falling into like the addiction again. She ended up leaving and then it was just a whole thing where obviously her not being there ended up making it worse for him. We had to put him back into rehab because it's like, you know, we can't keep doing this. Like we can't just keep, you know, letting come out and then you telling us and convincing us that you're doing good. But then you find fall back again and we put you into rehab again. It's just like, it's an ongoing thing. And of course we're not giving up, but it's just like, we also have to think smart and we have to, you know, tell ourselves we can't let him convince us again. Like, yeah, I want to come out. We're gonna let him out. No, sadly, we're. We're being hard on him and we're telling him we're not letting you leave until we know.
- [63:59]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [63:59]
Angela Res
That we think you're gonna get better. Not just cuz you're telling us, oh, I found a girlfriend and can I come out so I can be with her? Yeah, it sucks because sadly, like, I'm sure, like, he wants a better life. He doesn't want that. And obviously, like, we're not the ones that have the mind of a drug addict. You know, it's not our brain where we don't feel what he feels, but we see it from an outside perspective. And sometimes I feel bad too, because I. I always question, I'm like, why can't he just recover? Why can't he get better? But it's because I don't know. I don't know what he feels. And. And we always talk on the phone and he's always telling me, he's like, oh, like, I wouldn't wish this on no one. He's all like, nobody understands, like, how I feel but myself. He's all like, imagine like, being hours and hours away from your mom, from your family, lonely by yourself.
- [64:50]
Alanized
You guys have family over there or.
- [64:51]
Angela Res
No? We do. We do have family over there, but no, And I don't blame them. I'm not gonna, you know, blame. Yeah. And yeah, like I said, I don't blame them for not going to visit him because, I mean, it's not their job. It's not my family's kid to go do that. It's, you know, my mom's responsibility to take care of her kid. Even though he's older, but still that's her baby no matter what. But yeah, at the moment, he is in rehab again, trying to do better. We talk to him every other week, mostly Sundays, where we talk to him and we just try to encourage him. We try to let him know your life is not ending it. It's okay. It may feel impossible. I would like to say I would understand, but I don't because, like I said, it's. It's not my. You're not in those shoes, I'm not in those shoes. It's not me who is living that. But I see it from an outside perspective. And I always try to tell him, don't give up. Because there's, there's literally days where my mom comes to me crying because he comes to her hurt, crying that he can, that he's, he's tired, that yeah, he's sober, but he's, he doesn't see no, no cheese. And getting better. Yeah, getting better and being alive, like, and imagine hearing that from your own son. So I couldn't even, I can't, I can't even imagine how my mom feels. And it sucks because I try so hard to, you know, talk to her and I tell her, it's not your fault. And sadly, as harsh as it sounds sounds, we can't go back in time and you know, tell him, oh, don't do this drug. We can't go back in time and do things differently. We, we honestly just have to learn from it and be there for him. Cuz he's already going through it and we just honestly have to pray and wish him the best. And yeah, it sucks, it really does. But like, we have to stay strong.
- [66:48]
Alanized
And life goes on. Like you said. You guys, guys, yes, you guys feel responsible because obviously he's your, he's your brother, that's your mom's son. But like you said, you know, like in the last interview, like we talked about, you can only do so much for someone. There's really not much to them to be supportive, you know, that he was doing better. Do you remember the moment where they called you and you're like, you know what? Or was it just kind of like gradually you guys started seeing some like, red flags and you're like, maybe something's going on? Or did you guys just get a call and you're like, hey, he's down bad.
- [67:24]
Angela Res
We knew something was wrong when he wouldn't call us and there was no communication because when he would do that drug, he would crash. So he would be on a high for a few days, but once he was off the high and couldn't, you know, didn't have money or nothing to afford the drug again, he would have cracked crash. He would sleep for like two days. Oh, three days. He wouldn't call us, we would call him. No response. My mom obviously has family members in Mexico. She would call them to go check up on him and they'd be like, oh no, we don't see him. He doesn't open the door. Oh no, he like, he's not here. So we would immediately know something was wrong because he wouldn't update us. I believe my mom got A call saying that he was roaming through the streets in the middle of the night, night, just never sleeping, that he wouldn't sleep. It'll be 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am he would just be roaming the nights. And you know, when someone is. Yeah, Solito, he would just be roaming the streets. And that of that indicates that he's getting high again. So my mom was tired of it and she called him, he answered. She's all like, you want to go into the rehab or do I have to call someone to come get you? She said, I don't want to have to do that. That you're grown, you know, you're not good, go in. And I believe it took him a few days to be like, okay, I'm just gonna go in. And yeah, I don't really know specifically how it went, but they were able to get him. We were able to get him back into the rehab center and he's been there for a few months again.
- [68:59]
Alanized
And I hope he gets better. Y terminal E. You know, last week, one of our guests, Adam, but he was actually, you know, talking about his journey with, you know, meth. He was an addict for many years and up until, you know, years ago. And, you know, he was telling a story so beautifully about, you know, trying to get better and how hard it was. And eventually, when he did get better, you know, El ciente como, what advice can you. You give to those that are currently in yours or in your mom's position where you guys feel almost very helpless because it is, like you said, it is something hard to, you know, help someone else navigate through that because, you know, you can try so much, so much. And then you almost feel like all that trying was for nothing because they fall back. What advice can you give to those that are currently the support system of someone going through that?
- [69:53]
Angela Res
Honestly, I can't. I can't. I can't talk in their shoes, cuz I have not gone through that. But as an outsider, I feel like you just can't give up. Like, you can't give up on the person you love either. It's a brother, your boyfriend, your parents, your. Whoever is the one going through that drug addiction. Yeah. Like how I say I'm sad because of it. Imagine how sad he is. Imagine. I'm tired of it. I'm tired of him being on drugs. Imagine how tired he is of being on drugs. So I tell myself, don't be selfish. Yes, you're tired of this. But imagine how tired they are. They're fighting the biggest battle in their minds. And sadly we can't go inside of their brains and fix that. All we can do is try and be there for them. I remember from the last podcast there was a lot of people contradicting what I was saying, saying some people saying wow, they're giving up on her brother. You guys don't know. Yeah, never in our life have we given up on him. There was other people saying you're just wasting your your time at this point. He's going to keep doing drugs. You don't know. What if tomorrow he wakes up and he doesn't want to do that no more? You don't know. We don't know what the future holds. Maybe you know, it could be a year or two, three, four, five, six, even 10 years and they could decide, you know what? I don't want this life. You know what? What I'm ready to be okay and it's just all a matter of time. And you know, sadly it does suck cuz sometimes it doesn't get better sometimes. And I would hate to think like that. But all I can really do is just try and be there, you know, All I can really do is try and stay strong. For him to be stronger than us and for him to, you know, know that he's not alone. Regardless if he's miles and miles away way we're always going to be there. And I literally encourage you guys as well. I have so many girls who message me all the time telling me their brothers have passed away from like situations like that or their family members own their own dads, their moms going through something like that and my heart literally breaks. Cuz you feel like you can't do anything. You feel like you're stuck, like you're just stuck and you can't do much for them. But don't beat yourself up about it at all. Cuz at the end of the day Doito does it for a reason and you may always question why, what's the reason? I always catch myself crying at night. Like I'm always like why though? Like, like why us? Like I see other families with their brothers, with their older brothers, like with their mom, with their mom super happy with the living family and I have them. But there's always just that, that like missing piece that I know my mom wants.
- [72:45]
Alanized
It does happen sadly where some people lose their battle and with these addictions, you know, and unfortunately end up not being here with us anymore. Do you ever have thoughts of that? Like oh my God, like even though I see my brother trying And I want him to get better. Do you ever have pensamentos of like.
- [73:03]
Angela Res
Yeah, always. That, that's like. That's like my biggest fear. Like waking up one day and just like hearing like oh like alol. I always get so scared when my mom gets caused. Even my mom, she gets so scared when they call her from Mexico and out of nowhere and they just tell her something. She's like.
- [73:30]
Alanized
She's always online.
- [73:33]
Angela Res
Edge on the edge Lyric. She's always like. And it does cross my mind, sadly it sucks cuz you don't want to think like that about your own sibling. But it does cross my mind a lot. And it's my biggest fear sometimes I'm like. Like it doesn't get better. And d. Not just for me, but like for my mom.
- [73:54]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [73:55]
Angela Res
You know, cuz like literally the other day we were just eating. Me, her and my little sister, we were just sitting at the cocina and she was just spaced out looking at the wall and she looked so sad and. And I was like. I was like, like. And she just did quiet and she just hugged me and she just started crying and she just told me like I. I just wish I could. Could have your brother with us.
- [74:37]
Alanized
Yeah. Like I wish things were different.
- [74:39]
Angela Res
See, she's like, like I wish like she's like. And that just. That breaks my heart cuz I like I'm not a mom. But I'm sure as a mom you may feel like you failed your baby even if he's older. That's her baby. And I'm sure she feels like she has failed him. But I always try to remind him like it's not your fault. You know it isn't. Cuz if it was her fault then all of us would have been in that position. Position. And we're not. And sadly, you know, I don't blame my brother. I never, I never hold it against him. I never tell him, look what you're doing to mom. This isn't that. But I always try to, you know, encourage my mom. I tell her, you're so strong. You're. I love you.
- [75:39]
Alanized
You're a great mom.
- [75:40]
Angela Res
Yes, she's a great mom. I feel like sometimes she thinks like she's. She's not doing enough, but she's doing more than enough just by being there. Don't look back at their kid, nothing. Don't care that their kid is hurting. My mom hurts so much over her kids. She puts her kids before anyone. I appreciate her so much. But you know, like that's my biggest fear. Losing him, I feel like if I lose him, like I'll lose my mom.
- [76:12]
Alanized
You know, Like, I'm so sorry, you know, thank you for being so vulnerable. If you guys, you know, want a little bit more of the backstory.
- [76:27]
Angela Res
A.
- [76:28]
Alanized
Lot about in the first interview, but I really do want to say if anyone is dealing with addiction or has someone that is dealing with it, like, like I said, like you said, don't beat yourself up for it.

Angela Res

- [80:39]
Alanized
You know, the last time you were here we talked about you, you know, going through a six year relationship breakup plus like a healing journey. Nos jegas. Not single, but booed up who made the first move.
- [80:58]
Angela Res
My love life is obviously very different from the last time that I came. Came. I believe last time I was already talking to my boyfriend. Yeah, we were talking. It wasn't that serious, but we were, you know, in those early stages of getting to know each other. We actually have known each other for years, literally years. But you know, it was finally more like serious in sixth or seventh grade. So 2000, 20, 16 or 17. I forgot which one it was. But it was middle school. We were really little, we're from the same city, we literally live four minutes away from each other. So we honestly just grew up around each other. From middle school on, we'd See each other all the time. We have. Or we had the same, like, mutual friends.
- [81:46]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [81:47]
Angela Res
So po. So I feel like he was just. We were just always around, but it was nothing more than that until, obviously, see, recently, we did meet. We actually met at my cousin's boyfriend's birthday party. Yeah, that's. That's the story for another time. But, yeah, we met that night and ever since, like, we literally have hit it off. We've been together every single day. Yeah. And he. He just came into my life to make everything so much better.
- [82:18]
Alanized
It is funny because that's literally how it happened. I remember the last time you were here year. You know, we talked about you going through your healing journey, and I remember you posting months later, like, you were all booed up. And I was like, I want to talk a little bit more about your, you know, your current relationship. You and your ex were very toxic. When someone is not fully healed, we see that they bring a lot of these toxic traits onto their new relationships. Do you feel like that happened to you in the beginning?
- [82:50]
Angela Res
Beginning first, to start off, I would never, like, want to compare anyone, like, to each other at all because obviously it's way different and what's was done before was done before. But I feel like for myself personally, I feel like all the trauma was just still crawling up on me. When I did get with my boyfriend, I was fully over the people from my past, don't get me wrong. But, you know, the trauma that still lingers around you, like, oh, I'm. The fear of getting cheated on, the fear of being lied to, just the fear of being embarrassed was just. Yeah, it. The. It was just always there. And although my boyfriend has literally never, and I kid you not, never once have. Has given me a reason to think, like, oh, he's cheating on me. Oh, he's doing this or that. It was a little hard. Yeah. In the beginning, it was a little hard just because I didn't really know if, like, he was us taking me that serious. Like, because we're just getting to know each other, you know, but in my mind, I'm like, no. Like, you gotta let me know right now if you want to be with me for the rest of our life or you don't. I'm not wasting no time. But obviously he was just going with the flow. Like, he was just very much like, I like you. I want to get to know you. We're good, you know, you respect me, I respect you, and we're together. And me, I'm like, so when Are we getting married? Like. Like, let me know. But no, honestly, like, it just all fell into place. And I will say it was a little hard because of me, I feel like. Because, like I said, I don't like to compare, but I feel like, just like, from what I've been through, I just always had a fear, like, if I was looking stupid or if he was doing something behind my back. And like I said, he never gave me reasons to think that. Which now that I look back, I'm like, why would I even speculate stuff like that if he never did nothing to me? Like, literally, he's been such a good guy to me, but it was just, you know, my past trauma crawling up and, you know, making me think otherwise. But he always reassured me. He's all like, I really hope you understand. I'm not. Yeah, like, these other people. I feel like I realized it was getting a little toxic because of me. When we would, like, go out with friends or, like, cousin, my cousins, we would go out, you know, we would drink and everything, and I would always start an argument with my boyfriend all the time for the littlest things ever.
- [85:09]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [85:10]
Angela Res
Yeah. I was obviously drunk. He was a little. You know, he never really gets like that, that drunk. He was, you know, matching my vibe, matching my buzz. I would always just find a little reason to just start nagging at him, like, oh, like, you're doing this, this and that, or, oh, you don't love me, or, oh, you know, like, just literally the littlest things. I would make it such a. Such a big deal, and I would wake up the next morning and regret because why would I say those things? I was drunk. He's never done nothing to hurt me. I'm just ruining something so beautiful. Why? Because I was drunk and because I was just, you know, in my feels. And it's not like, oh, I was in my feels about anything else that I've gone through. It was just trauma in my mind that made me think otherwise. Like, oh, like, you know, he doesn't love me, or, oh, this is not. And I think it has a big, big part to do with me not being able to control myself when I drink. And that's why I tried to just, like, calm down and like, okay, girl, you're not always just gonna, you know, go out and black out if you know how you act. Chill out. And we even had this conversation. He's like, you can't keep doing that, babe. And I appreciate him so much for having patience with me, because let's say the rules were reversed. And he would do that to me, I would leave his ass.
- [86:21]
Alanized
Yeah, you would have gotten sick and tired.
- [86:23]
Angela Res
I would have gotten sick and tired of it. And it was not just one time that did that. Not twice, not three times more than that. And he was still able to, you know, help me out and talk to me and, like, tell me, like, yeah, baby, you got to, like, do better. What are you doing? And I appreciate him so much for, like, you know, having patience with me. Thankfully, stuff is so much better. Does not get like that no more. We're doing so good, thank God. And, yeah, I just had to learn from everything and understand that my man does love me and understand that he's with me for a reason. Reason. He just wouldn't be here for no reason. Although some guys are weird and be doing that. Just stick with girls because they're bored and whatever. But I know that's not the case with me. And if that was ever the case, then that's what it is, and life goes on.
- [87:05]
Alanized
Like, did you ever be like, oh, my God, he's gonna leave my ass because it's too much?
- [87:10]
Angela Res
Honestly, you're like, no, I knew he was gonna stay. Like, he loves me. No, I'm just kidding. I would never want to make it seem like I'm taking him for granted because he's a really good guy, and, like, I know that he knows his worth, but I also know that he tries to see the good in me, and he tries to, you know, like, remind himself, like, he knows that I love him. He just knows I have a. Like, I had a few stuff to work on until this day. You know, we both make mistakes, and we have little stuff to work on. And by mistakes, I mean, like, little stuff throughout the day, throughout the week. Like, oh, I forgot to do this, babe. I'm so sorry. No, I'm not talking about no cheating. No, none of that. No, we have never dealt with that together. I've never done nothing to him to make him think like, that I'm, you know, doing something to him or him done something to me. I feel like I've learned from what I've been through, and I would call it quits if that was the case, But I'm talking about little things where we can just work through it. And if I know that he loves me, I love him. We. We. We're fine.
- [88:06]
Alanized
What do you feel like was your process in. In terms of, like, you know, what I want to do better, not just. Just for me, but for my partner? Did you have Like a moment where you're like, you know what?
- [88:19]
Angela Res
Honestly, I think it's just when sometimes it would get too bad to the point where it would feel a little like, draining. Always arguing and waking up the next day, like if nothing happened. And then seeing him in a bad mood because of the stuff that I said the night before and it would hurt me. Cuz, like, what if he did that to me? Like, that's so hurtful. Why would I even, you know, put him in a position like, like that? And honestly, if I'm being real, I always told myself, if you don't get your act right, another is going to take your spot and treat him better than you do. And that kills me because I love my man. Like, you don't want to think about your man with another girl. So I'm like, I gotta, you know, get my together, treat him the way he deserves to be treated because that's, you know, not okay for me to do. And yeah, I just, honestly, honestly, I learned from it and I realized I have a good man by my side. And I just, you know, why am I gonna miss something? I just reminded myself, like, why am I gonna mess up something so beautiful that God sent me for a reason, you know, Like, I can't keep sabotaging the good things in my life. I was always so used to doing that I literally came to the conclusion, like, girl, you can't hurt this one. He never hurt you, so why would you hurt him?
- [89:28]
Alanized
What was it like when you finally decided to show him online? Because I think you kept it not a secret, but just very low, low online up until, like, whenever you were ready. What was it like, the moment that you're like, you know what? I'm ready to presentarles Aminovio. Was that scary to like, put on your relationship like that? Because I feel like once you put it out to the world, it's no longer just you and him, it's you and him at everyone's opinion.
- [89:53]
Angela Res
I'm not gonna lie, I was really scared. Like, I was so scared just because, like, I know how social media is. I know how people in general are. Regardless if you have a following or not, people judge you. So imagine having thousands of eyes on you. It's just 10 times worse. So in my head I wasn't really worried, like, oh, he's gonna leave me if, like, people start saying stuff. I was more like, oh my God, like, I don't want to hear stuff from others. You know what I mean? So I slept slowly, started bringing him on, like I would post like, you know, his feet, like, not his feet, like a feet fighter. I would post like, you know, I'm taking, yeah, like a little soft launch here and there. Until one day I was like, you know, this is my man. Like, I'm tired of hiding him. Like, let me just hard launch. So I believe I posted his face on my story one time and I do not know why. I didn't even think it was going to get that out of like hand Cheeseman pages started screenshotting it and posting them. Did you see Angie B's new man? This, this and that. But thankfully my girls, like, commented. They're like, what about it? Like, she's happy. What are you guys doing? Like, but I do understand that it was a really, really big change because obviously my content before was mainly about, you know, healing from a heartbeat break, healing in general, finding myself. I wasn't really focused on anyone else but myself. So I feel like my audience, once they saw like, oh, she found someone, some of them, I'm not going to lie, didn't like that. And that's totally, you know, that's totally fine. You know, if like, they would come.
- [91:33]
Alanized
At you for like, why?
- [91:34]
Angela Res
Or they would, they would get mad that I had a boyfriend. Cuz they were like, you're not for the girls no more. You have a boyfriend. So your only focus is going to be your boyfriend. You're not going to make content for us no more about healing, about selfworth, about this and that. But in my mind, I'm like, if you really love me for who I am and not just because of my content, you would be happy for me. You would understand that. I finally found someone who I love and of course I love him so much to the point where I feel comfortable bringing him on. And if you're a real supporter, like, you wouldn't mind my content shifting a little bit. It. Yeah. And honestly, I really don't think my content is that different from what it used to be. I still post myself, getting ready, giving girl talks, giving advice. And it, I love it more now because now I'm actually with the good man and I'm able to let my girls know, like, oh, look what my man's doing for me. Like, y'all better, you know, like, it gets better.
- [92:29]
Alanized
Especially because you were so open about like everything that you've gone through. And it's almost very much showing the girls, like, meeting so you, you princip that will like literally like sweep you off your feet and make everything better.
- [92:42]
Angela Res
At first I Won't lie. It made me a little sad. I. It made me rethink sometimes. I was like, am I doing the wrong thing?
- [92:49]
Alanized
Like, like showing him online, showing him.
- [92:51]
Angela Res
Online or even having a boyfriend. And then I was like, no. Like, I can't let these people get to me. And I don't want to sound disrespectful because I literally love and appreciate everyone who follows the me. But not everyone who supports you, supports you in a good way. Like someone who really does admire you and your work and you as a person will always, you know, want the best for you, not just think negative, you know. So in my mind I was like, you know what? Like, I can't let that get to me. Cuz regardless if I know I'm happy and the real people who love me know I'm happy, that's all that matters.
- [93:23]
Alanized
That's all that matters. Did you ever have a convo with him? You know, after seeing the backlash, after seeing how your girls were taking this news, did you ever have a convo, like, hey, no mirrors commentarios, Honestly, sometimes.
- [93:37]
Angela Res
I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, we will talk about it, but like, he has never, ever, ever, like, never let anything get to him. He'll see comments sometimes because I show him. And even then he's not on social media. Like, he doesn't really care for it. So in his eyes, he doesn't, he doesn't sit his ass down all day and reads every comment and text me.
- [93:59]
Alanized
Oh my God. He's not dwelling on that. He's like, I'm living my life.
- [94:02]
Angela Res
Because he even tells me. He's all like, don't let these people define who you are. You're your own person. You can't let these people on social media, like, get to your head. That's what they want. So, yeah, no, we never really had like a full sit down conversation like, oh, babe, like, this is, this is not. No, honestly. But we just always reminded ourselves we're our own people. This is our relationship, not theirs or theirs or theirs. And that's about it. Honestly.
- [94:31]
Alanized
If you feel comfortable talking about it for over a week, you posted a little bit about it, but didn't really, you know, tell your girlies what was going on.
- [94:46]
Angela Res
Yeah, so for those of you who follow me on TikTok, it was mainly Tik Tok I was posting about it. I believe it was a few days after Valentine's Day. I remember me and my boyfriend got a hotel room for Valentine's. And then after that, literally everything went downhill. I just started feeling so much worse. So one day I just texted my mom, she wasn't home. And then I was like oh mom, let's go to the hospital. Because a little backstory. I believe it was already two months, months that I had a really big lymph node right here on my right side of my neck. And at first I didn't really pay that much mind to it cuz it didn't hurt, it wasn't that big. So I was just like oh, like I. They just have like a cold or something. I get lymph nodes, whatever, it's fine, it would happen before. So I was just like oh, whatever, it's. But not that bad to how it got recently. So I didn't think nothing of it. But I kind of remember this was in February. I just told my mom, let's just go to the hospital. Cuz something like was telling me like I don't know, like I don't know if this is normal. It was getting bigger and it wouldn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable. Like it wasn't like excruciating pain but it was like something wasn't right. And I don't know, I just wanted to go check it out. I was like oh, maybeas you know, it's okay. So she ended up picking me up. She was actually at my tia's house. She ended up picking me up, up. She took me to the hospital. It was just me and her. They admitted us, they checked my blood pressure, everything was fine. They were asking me like, oh, like why are you here? How are you feel pain one through ten, whatever. I described everything and they were taking a pretty long time. Like they were taking a long time. And then she's like, oh, we're just going to run more tests. Run more tests. Like run your blood, like blood test. And they took out a lot of blood. Like I kid you not, like so many of the little paints of blood. And I was like dang, like okay. But I was like whatever. Typically that's what they do when you come in. And then they tested me for like strep throat, for mono, for everything. The results came back negative for everything. My blood was fine. So they were like, that's weird. And then another doctor came in and he looked like concerned. He was like, I'm really sorry but like you guys are gonna have to stay the night. Keep in mind I have never stayed the night at the hospital. I always thought once you stay the night at the hospital you're dying.
- [97:08]
Alanized
Like you're just going in little checkup.
- [97:10]
Angela Res
For a little checkup. Like I just thought they were going to prescribe me something and then just go back home. When they told me that I had to stay at the hospital, my mom got scared. She was like, why? Like, like. And then he's like, oh. So actually since like the rest of the test came out fine, we need to do further test. We want to do like a CT scan on her. I'm not too sure if it was a MRI or I forgot what. But more test, more of these tests. And they also wanted to schedule a biopsy on me actually at that time, first the biopsy wasn't in their minds cuz they wanted to do the CT first. So whatever. We ended up doing all that before they even took me to the room where I had to stay. That ended up happening. And in the scans that they did, it showed that right here, like it was swollen, like there were something there.
- [98:02]
Alanized
A mass?
- [98:02]
Angela Res
Yeah, a mass. Yeah, that there was something there. So immediately when they saw that, they had told me like, we need to schedule a biopsy and you're not going to leave the hospital until you get that biopsy. So yeah, I spent one night at the hospital, woke up the next day. They made me fast because I thought I was going to get the biopsy. And then they told me, oh no, like the doctor isn't here for the biopsy, you're going to stay another night. They just had me honestly on bed rest. I was able to stand up, but I was already drained. And keep in mind I had all of these other symptoms. Like I was so drained, I was fatigued, I had so much nausea. And what made it worse is that they were giving me like meds. Yeah, they were giving me Percocets. So I didn't know that at the moment because when I would tell them that I was in pain or like that my neck would hurt a bit or that I didn't feel good, they'd be like, okay, like the nurse is going to come in and give you medicine and like pain meds, you'll be good. Yeah. And I'd be like, okay. In my mind I thought they were going to give me like ibuprofen, whatever. The lady came in, she gave me my medicine, a few minutes passed by and I'm obviously in the hospital room with my mom. My mom actually stayed a few days with me in there and I would start feeling nauseous. I, like, I literally went pale. My lips were white, I was shaking, I felt like throwing up, but I couldn't throw up. Up. And it was a few minutes after I took the perks, so I was like, what is this? Like, in my mind, I'm like, damn. Like, ibuprofen has never made me feel this way. So I was tripping. I was like, oh, my God. Like, am I dying already? Like, what? Like, what is going on? And I remember my mom telling the nurse, and my mom was like, oh, like, she feels bad. And then the nurse, she's like, oh, honey, yeah, like, we gave you perks. And then I was like, well, I was like, bro, no, that's too strong for me. Like, my body can't handle that. Like, I can't do it. And I believe they gave me those pills either two or three times. So by the third time, I was like, no more. I'm gonna handle this pain, and it's fine. But eventually, yeah, they did end up scheduling my biopsy date, and it wasn't surgical. It wasn't like a surgical biopsy. So they didn't put me under anesthesia, Nothing. They honestly just numbed me and ended up doing the biopsy. I was wide awake. I literally. I didn't feel it, but I literally heard the little thing like.
- [100:21]
Alanized
Like, scraping it off by this time is like, you know, this can potentially be cancer.
- [100:30]
Angela Res
So it was a. I think it was the day before the biopsy, the doctor came in. And it's honestly so crazy to me because once again, I don't know why I'm so naive to so many things. I didn't think cancer at all. In my mind, cancer was never, like. I kid you not, never on my mind. I was like, no. Like, the word cancer wasn't on my mind at all. I started seeing my mom getting so worried and my TAs coming to visit me, my family coming to visit me. And I remember kind of, like, overhearing, like, my mom talk to my aunt and my dad about her being scared that I had cancer. And then in my mind, Jose, we were. What? Like, what do you mean? Like, how am I gonna have cancer? I'm fine.
- [101:18]
Alanized
Like, cancer me?
- [101:19]
Angela Res
Yeah. Like, I'm like, I don't know her. Like, what are you talking about? I'm confused. I remember it was when the doctor said, oh, we want to schedule a biopsy because it could possibly be cancer.
- [101:30]
Alanized
Yeah.
- [101:31]
Angela Res
He's all like, cancer isn't painful. Like, your lymph nodes don't get painful. He's all like. And you have, like, no severe pain like that. He's like, and your lymph node keeps Growing and growing. Unfortunately, sometimes that indicates a certain type of cancer.
- [101:44]
Alanized
What was going in your mind at that very moment when the doctors finally said, you know, this can be cancer, did it hit you at that moment?
- [101:51]
Angela Res
No. It's crazy because I remember my mom actually thought I didn't care. She thought I wasn't taking it seriously because I. I wouldn't cry. I. I shocked. Yeah. I think I was more like I just knew that I was gonna be okay. I don't know how to explain it. Like, I don't want to sound careless, but like. Like I would talk to God at night. I always knew, like, it's not gonna be me, you know, like, estoy bien, boyen. And it did suck, I'm not gonna lie. Cuz there would be moments I kind of skipped this. But we ended up getting the biopsy and had to wait. We had to wait a few days for us to get the results. So they. They sent me home after the biopsy. They had to send me to a specialist, which is an oncology, oncologist, which is a doctor for cancer. And I think that's when it kind of hit me. When I had my first appointment with an oncologist. And I walked in and all I see in the waiting room is like, cancer patients. Senoras go on their head. Rapadas with scarves on their head, no hair. Senores bien vijitos, bien rapadas. And I was like, why am I here? I'm. I'm so young. How is this happening?
- [103:10]
Alanized
Like, it was barely sinking in.
- [103:12]
Angela Res
Yeah, it was kind of sinking in. Like, wait, I'm scared now. Like, it. It's hitting me. And I've heard so many stories of people my age. Concert and with other stuff. So in my mind I'm like, no, like, that can't be me. Like, I. It just can't. Like how you know? And I'm not saying I wish it on anyone else. No, like, never in my entire life. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Never. But I just didn't see myself, you know, like, dealing with. I just. I don't know, I just couldn't. Yeah, we went to my first sita. They made me literally fill out a whole questionnaire about my symptoms. Where else? I had a lymph nodes and I just had a whole appointment. And I believe it was that first appointment with my oncologist. She sat down with me and my mom. Mom. And that's when she had got the results of my biopsy. They sent my biopsy result or they sent my biopsy to get like, like red, red and everything at the Stanford Hospital. And when they told me Stanford, I was like, oh my God, that's scary.
- [104:15]
Alanized
Like it's serious.
- [104:16]
Angela Res
Stanford? Yeah. Like what the. Like, oh my goodness. It was just so scary. Like I got the chills and I remember the oncologist telling us so we got your guys results and she's all like, so from what I can see, it's not enough. The biopsy they did was not enough for me to indicate your cancer. She's like, but I, I'm speculating that it's lymphoma. Hot, hot, hot skins lymphoma. I don't know if she said non Hodgkin's lymphoma or hot Hotkins lymphoma. I'm so sorry if I'm pronouncing it wrong, but she basically told us she thinks I have lymphoma. And my mom was like, what? Like I, I remember the look in my mom's eyes, like she went pale. She looked at me, she's like, yeah. And then I was like, what the. Like this can't be happening. Like there's no way.
- [105:13]
Alanized
Like, is that a type of cancer?
- [105:16]
Angela Res
Yeah, it's a type of cancer. It's a type of cancer that people have, but most people are able to, you know, get through it. And she's all like. So I want to schedule you for another biopsy, but this one, I want them to take out most of your lymph node and we want to do, we want to test your like whole, a whole chunk of your lymph node, not just a little biopsy like the, the doctors did. She made me feel like she was saying like, you have cancer. Cuz she kept bringing up, you're really young. She's all like, so we can find ways like to get you treatment that won't harm you so you're able to have kids when you're older. She was just throwing all this information to me and in my head I was like, what? She started talking about chemotherapies, radiation, just treatment that she thinks could work best for me. And I was like, what? Like, no, there's just no way I'm going through this right now. Like in my.
- [106:13]
Alanized
Like, they were already prepping.
- [106:14]
Angela Res
Yeah, they were already, they were already prepping when she threw the word chemotherapy and radiations. And this isn't that. I was like, what? Like we don't even know if I have cancer. But I know as a doctor, she was just trying to prepare herself already because all the doctors already thought like, oh yeah, the biopsy is going to come back, she has lymphoma. We're going to get to it, we're going to get to her treatment, cure her. This is not. But in my mind I was like, no, there's no way I'm not going to tell myself I have cancer until my biopsy results clearly tell me, come in and tell me that I have cancer. So yeah, that was just honestly a whole process. And a few days after that I actually ended up finding out some other stuff with my health that ended up making sense as why I was feeling nauseous, as why I was going through and feeling what I was going through. Not the lymph node though, the lymph node. I ended up, I'm going to the doctor. And it was just like a virus in my body reenacting from when I had Covid. And it was just like a whole thing. But everything put together made my doctors basically think I had cancer. And it was just the whole thing. I already had my biopsy scheduled, my surgery scheduled. But before that I ended up getting strep throat and they, they prescribed me some medicine called penicillin. I took the penicillin for five, seven days I believe. Once I finished that treatment, the lymph node went away.
- [107:37]
Alanized
So they were able to be like, oh, after that or did they still do like more testing?
- [107:43]
Angela Res
No, it was so confusing. Like it was really confusing. So basically I had strep throat, but they were still thinking, oh, even though I strep throat. Like cuz the first time they tested me, it wasn't strep throat. I ended up getting sick, got strep throat and then I had the biopsy. The biopsy was still sketched, scheduled and when I walked into the biopsy, my lymph node went down. And they're like, we can't do your biopsy. They're like, this is good news. Like cancer never goes down. Like you're okay, like we don't have to do the biopsy. They're like, it makes sense because of the other stuff that you were going through. Like this whole time. No, it was never cancer. It was just, you know, all these other things and that were put together that sadly made us think this. I don't know why, like, yes, I was so relieved. But like in the back of my mind I always knew, knew like I wasn't. Yeah, I, I wasn't sick. Like in the back of my mind I was all like, I'm gonna get better. Like, it's gonna be okay. Like, Josito's taking care of me. And, yeah, thankfully I was able to get through that. It was so hard. It was literally so draining, especially because I wasn't able to post because, dude, my neck was fat. Like, I'm gonna send you pictures. Oh, it was big. Like, you were to look at it, you'd be like, what's wrong? Yeah, what's wrong? It was scary. It was really scary. But obviously, now that we know everything, it just all adds up and, you know, maybe, like, one day I'll be able to get more into detail with it. Just because all of this that I went through was really recent. I don't think I'm too comfortable I'm opening up about it quite yet. But, yeah, it was. It was just a lot to handle.

Do you feel like going through this traumatic, you know, time in your life, do you feel like that affected your mental state?
- [109:18]
Angela Res
Yeah, it was a little hard just because I don't want to make this all about social media, but it sucked. Like, not being able to, like, wake up and post without feeling judged. Like, let's say I was starting to feel better and I would want to start posting again. People were already, like, speculating stuff, and I was just like, bro, like, I'm healing. I'm going through, like, the most traumatic things that I've been through. Like, and I'm just trying to, you know, get back to my job, get back to what I love doing, get back to talking to my girls, and get back to all of this. But it's like, some people were giving me, like, so much bad energy where it felt draining. But honestly, I'm so thankful. Like, my boyfriend, like, helped me so much. Like, he was, like, such a big help. Ah. Oh, no. I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna fix my makeup again.
- [110:19]
Alanized
I'm like, we just fixed it.
- [110:21]
Angela Res
We just fixed it. There's only so much powder we could pack on. My boyfriend helped me so much. Like, every literally second of the day. Every night, he would stay with me. Even, like, when I was in the hospital, like, my mom. That was when my mom started trusting him and let him stay at the hospital to just spend the night with me. I wouldn't say my family wasn't there, dude. They were the biggest help ever. Specifically my auntie and my cousin Alondra and my uncle. Oh, my God. And obviously my parents and my stepmom. The biggest help ever. I feel like in that moment, like, after everything, I was Going through it made me realize that like my family is like the only people that would really be there. And I think honestly, like, I don't want to sound like stupid, but I think God made me go through that to realize that not everything is about like going out and like money and everything. Because I think I was getting so caught up in like drinking, going out, having fun, having fun, too much fun, too much fun coming to la. Cuz in my eyes I was like, oh, I'm going to, I'm gonna make money, I'm gonna come back with money, I'm good. This, this and that. And I kind of like would distance myself from my family because I would just want to have fun. And that was like a reality check. Like, like not to madre all the fun and stuff isn't gonna be there when you're really going through it, you know. And it humbled me so much and it made me realize. And I know it sucks to say that I had to go through that in order to realize cuz I've always, always of course love my family no matter what. But seeing everything and seeing everyone be there for me just made me appreciate life itself. So much. Cuz what if I was sick? You know what I mean? What if I was sick? What if I did have to deal with all that treatment and there's thousands, so many people, so many people who are dealing with that right now and it sucks, you know, it sucks cuz I mean, there's only so much they can do. So I always try to look at it to the positive side. I was like, okay, well I'm not sick, I'm good. Let me take advantage of this. Yes, sometimes there's people that are so negative and are nagging at me in my ear, but as long as I have my family there, oh my God, the best thing you can have. I, I don't give a if I'm broke. Okay, maybe I do care, but I don't give a if I don't have this or that as long as my family's there. Oh girl, I'm so thankful for them.

And then I feel like it also is very important, you know, we're so young that we sometimes don't really, really think about our health or how important it is. And it really is a reality check of like, you know what, there's more important things than going out, you know, that, you know, everything you've gone through and social media as a whole, you know, you know, a lot of people started speculating what's a rumor Online that you've heard about Angie, that you're like, wait, no, ma. A rumor that you've heard about yourself that you're like, what the.
- [113:27]
Angela Res
Yeah, for sure. When I got sick and wasn't posting that I got a bbl. Like, I did not get a bbl. I mean, I don't judge. Maybe I'm gonna get one soon. You never know, let's not say. But like out of everything you can think, like, I was sick as like having the worst things going on in my entire life. I'm like, does it look like I got a bbl? No. So, yeah, probably just that, honestly. Or like, oh, is she gonna get a bbl or this, this and that. But other than that, I don't even know.
