Racha Pecorero
So I know we said that we would be off this week.
- [00:40]
Yvette Gentile
We sure did.
- [00:41]
Racha Pecorero
But then we thought, hey, let's try something different. And we are going to be sharing more about ourselves with all of you and answering all of your burning questions. So welcome to our AMA episode. Woo. Woo.
- [00:56]
Yvette Gentile
Oh, my God. So we just can't take how grateful we are that you have stuck around ever since Ms. Ashley passed the mic over to us. And today, we really would just love to share more about who we are.
- [01:11]
Racha Pecorero
Exactly. So please stick around and let's peel back the curtain a little bit, if you will.
- [01:17]
Yvette Gentile
I'm Racha Pecorero, and I am her big sister, Yvette Gentile.
- [01:22]
Racha Pecorero
And E como mai. Or welcome to a very special bonus episode of so Supernatural. So our first question is, can we hear more about what you and your mom experienced?
- [01:56]
Yvette Gentile
And to answer this question, let us just take y'all back a little bit.
- [02:00]
Racha Pecorero
So if you are new to us as sisters or new to so Supernatural and don't know a lot about us, all it would take would be a quick Google, really? And don't believe tmz. I did not leave my ex husband for my wife. Okay, that is not what happened. But we'll get into that another day. But our origin story really comes from our beautiful mother, Fauna Hodel.
- [02:27]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, mom was an angel. She was the biggest, brightest, most positive light on this planet. And she had a mission. She had a mission to tell her story. She was a young white child given away at birth to a black family. She experienced all kind of trials and tribulations, but it made her stronger. And she, like, she just fought tooth and nail to bring her story to light. And I won't go into all the details because it was a long, long, long haul before she met Patty Jenkins and Patti did. I am the Night with tnt. And our mother's story finally came to fruition. But with that all being said, we lost our beautiful mother on September 30, 2017. And this was just months before her dream was to actually come to life. So Rasha and I had to grieve, you know, as we were on the set, watching what our mother put, what our mother made happen without her. So it was so bittersweet for so many reasons. You know, it was sweet because she did it. You know, we were like, she did it. But at the same time, it was shit. Why isn't she here to witness this?
- [04:00]
Racha Pecorero
She was with us, though.
- [04:01]
Yvette Gentile
I know she was. But when somebody works that hard for their life mission and then is not present, physically present, to be there. Yeah, it was a lot. It was a lot. But then we got this opportunity to get involved in podcasting.
- [04:21]
Racha Pecorero
We just had to figure out what a podcast was first.
- [04:24]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, we had no idea. We were like, sure, we'll do it. No clue. And we did Root of Evil.
- [04:31]
Racha Pecorero
Root of Evil, the True Story of the Hodel Family and the Black Dahlia was our very first podcast. And the amazing showrunner, Sam Sheridan, Patty Jenkins husband, asked us to do a companion podcast to I Am the Night. And that is what Root of Evil ended up being. And it involved our entire family. It was written, directed, and produced by the amazing Zach Levitt. And it changed our lives. And like Yvette said, we were grieving, but at the same time, we became almost famous overnight during The Today Show, Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, all. All the things. And our mom wasn't there with us, but she raised us for that moment, for this moment, truly, to be telling supernatural stories, to be telling other people's stories. Because at the root of everything, mom was a storyteller. She wanted to tell her story, but then she wanted to know yours.
- [05:34]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, always. And when we talk about supernatural, just to go back to. So supernatural. When we got the call and they said, do the girls, Would they be interested in doing supernatural? Anything Super. We're like, ah, yes. Because when we look back, like on my mom's. On our mom's journey, I'm the oldest. I know I'm the oldest. So I always tend to say my.
- [05:58]
Racha Pecorero
We're 11 years apart, different fathers, but we were raised together. Yes, yes, Our mom.
- [06:02]
Yvette Gentile
But mom had me when she was, you know, 15. So I was like her baby, her sister, her daughter, like, all the things, you know? But when I look back on mom's story of her growing up, she always experienced so many different supernatural occurrences. You know, where she had a grandmother who came to her Big Mama and warned her in the middle of the night to get out of the house, to leave this particular house that she was living in, or she would not survive.
- [06:34]
Racha Pecorero
The spirit of Big Mama.
- [06:36]
Yvette Gentile
The spirit of Big Mama. Yes. So a ghost of Big Mama. And all through her life she had these supernatural happenings that kind of guided her. Not kind of, but most definitely guided her throughout her life. So when you say supernatural. Supernatural is truly in our DNA. Yes.
- [06:59]
Racha Pecorero
And after we did root of evil, we did facing evil, and that was other people's stories, but supernatural, we get to tell all these amazing stories and still weave ourselves into it. Because you can't tell a story without feeling some type of connection to it, right?
- [07:18]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, 100%. And I think that's, that's the beauty of it, you know, when you hear these stories. Yes. Some of them are so far fetched and a lot of people are so skeptical. Like, no, no, that didn't really happen. But when you listen to these people, like they have had an experience that a lot of them has changed the trajectory of their lives. You know, when you talk about people that have had encounters with aliens or saw spaceships, I mean, I can think of one that sticks out to me. You know, it's the Phoenix Lights, which I love. And Dr. Lynn Katai, like, it changed the course of her life because she kept seeing and experiencing these flying spaceships. Right. Or aircraft, whatever you want to call them, and she full heartedly believed in what she saw, so.
- [08:12]
Racha Pecorero
And we believed her.
- [08:13]
Yvette Gentile
For sure. For sure.
- [08:16]
Racha Pecorero
So one of the other questions that we got is which one of us is more skeptical about the supernatural?
- [08:23]
Yvette Gentile
I think we're pretty split. I think my personality is probably a slight bit more skeptical than you.
- [08:30]
Racha Pecorero
I don't know what you're talking about. Are you trying to say that I'm gullible and naive? Is that what you're saying?
- [08:36]
Yvette Gentile
Oh, no, I'm not saying that. Okay. No, I'm just saying that I'm the older, wiser. No, right. She loves to say that. I know, I do love to say that, but no, you are very wise for your age, for certain. I'm not trying to be cynical. No.
- [08:53]
Racha Pecorero
Yeah, says the one who is obsessed with aliens and believes every single alien story that we've ever told.
- [09:00]
Yvette Gentile
That is not true. I don't believe every single one. But I do believe that there are aliens that walk among us. I do believe that. So there is that. Okay, I got one for you, Raj.
- [09:17]
Racha Pecorero
Okay.
- [09:18]
Yvette Gentile
Have you ever had an experience with a supernatural force, like physically, you, yourself?
- [09:27]
Racha Pecorero
So I have one story that I think I've told you this before, but if you haven't, our listeners definitely don't know it. So I was about 14. This was at my dad's house in Waileiki, and This is way before I realized I was gay. So I snuck a boy into our house. No one else was home. And I was doing things I shouldn't have been doing. And right as I was about to do something that no 14 year old should do. Leilani, if you're listening, listen to Mommy. Don't do what Mommy did. And I heard glass just shattering. Like every sound you can think of, just glasses shattering all over the place. And I got so nervous. I was like, oh, my God, my parents are home. My dad and my stepmom are home and I'm going to get in trouble. So I kicked him out, ran out to the kitchen where I heard the noise coming from. And we used to have these just display wine glasses that were on the table. And all of the windows were closed. There was no wind blowing. And all of those glasses, these beautiful translucent glasses, glass. Wine glasses and a wine carafe were on the ground on the carpet. But they weren't shattered at all. They were sitting perfectly on the ground on the carpet. I'm like, there is no way that they fell down, you know?
- [10:55]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah. And made that noise on the carpet. Never. Never.
- [10:57]
Racha Pecorero
There's no way. And a little backstory to the Wailaiki house. My father was convinced that it was haunted by the spirit of Pele. He said he always saw Pele in her tutu form. And tutu in Hawaiian means grandma. So I was convinced. I'm like, oh, my God. Pele did that because she didn't want me messing around with a boy and doing something.
- [11:21]
Yvette Gentile
I'd be like, I know how to get him out.
- [11:22]
Racha Pecorero
Right, right. And so I know that was supernatural because there was no physical way that could have happened.
- [11:30]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah. And just to clarify, like, we didn't live in the same house at that time. You lived with your dad and I lived with mom. And you were you.
- [11:37]
Racha Pecorero
And I would go back and forth.
- [11:39]
Yvette Gentile
Ye.
- [11:39]
Racha Pecorero
Just to Clarify, I had 50, 50 time.
- [11:43]
Yvette Gentile
Well, one of my supernatural stories, and I think I've definitely told you and I've written about it before. When I was probably about 5 years old, my grandmother Jimmy Lee was babysitting me. Mom was at work. I had just come from Aunt Rosie's house with a bunch of kids and I was begging to go back. And she had just about had enough of me. My grandmother Jimmy Lee. So she was kind of in one of her moods. She did drink a lot, so there is that. And she kicked me out of the house at five years old. I remember she put on my red little coat and said, well, if you want to go, just get out. And kicked me out snowing. It was in Reno, in Reno, Nevada, where I was born. I started walking and I had no idea where I was going, but I crossed a main street. I thought I knew where I was going, you know, as a child, trying to remember, like five years old. At five years old, trying, right. Anyhow, I get across the street and all of a sudden I. I felt this presence. My grandfather Homer, who had passed probably a year before. This is like in the, the 70s, the early 70s, right? 71, 72. And it said a voice, I could hear a voice saying, go this way, walk this direction, right? So I changed my path, I went to the left, I started walking, and somehow I ended up in front of my godmother's house. And she looked out the window just at that time. And it was like, what is little Yvette doing in front of my house? But my point in this story is I was so close to, to my grandfather that his spirit was literally carrying me, this five year old child, you know, not knowing which way she was supposed to be going, carrying me, walking me to safety. And ever since that moment in my life as a five year old, I've always known that I would be divinely blessed and protected.
- [13:51]
Racha Pecorero
That's what mom always used to say to us.
- [13:52]
Yvette Gentile
And that's what mom always used to say as well.
- [13:56]
Racha Pecorero
Oh, that's beautiful. I love that story. And you left out the part where you were wearing a little red coat.
- [14:02]
Yvette Gentile
No, I said that.
- [14:03]
Racha Pecorero
Oh, you did.
- [14:03]
Yvette Gentile
You missed it. So rude. Pay attention to your sister.
- [14:07]
Racha Pecorero
Linda, listen, listen, listen. Linda. Sorry. Oh, so that, I mean, that's a miracle in itself. That's a question that we got Anything, you know, that is good and supernatural, like miracles or supernatural protection, like that is an example of it.
- [14:25]
Yvette Gentile
Yes, 100%.
- [14:26]
Racha Pecorero
And I believe that every single thing that's happened to us as sisters and really, truly, that's happened to us since mom passed away in 2017. From being on set of I'm the Night, from being asked to do root of evil, to do facing evil, to so supernatural. Each path that led us there, I think was supernatural and was a true miracle. Because we've always wanted to be in the entertainment industry in some capacity. Our mom literally raised us for all of these moments.
- [15:04]
Yvette Gentile
Well, truly mom did. And what mom, what our mother really wanted us, she always wanted us to work together because we were doing it. You know, we're 11 years apart. So I was always doing my, my modeling and my acting and my Own thing. And you were doing your own sports. Yeah, sports. Exactly.
- [15:20]
Racha Pecorero
Another reason. Hello, you, Rasha, you're a lesbian. You should have known that when you were seven and you threw your first softball. I didn't come out till I was.
- [15:28]
Yvette Gentile
30, so there's so many stories with that that would be a whole episode. But she. She always wanted us to be together, you know, because she loved. When you talk about a mother who loved her, her children, her girls, like we were her everything and still in the afterlife, we are her everything. And everything that we do is for her. Right?
- [15:53]
Racha Pecorero
Absolutely.
- [15:54]
Yvette Gentile
But she so wanted us to be together, you know, and share stories because she was the best storyteller. So for us to be sitting here at this moment, when you talk about divine timing, that's supernatural. That's supernatural.
- [16:12]
Racha Pecorero
Another question we got was if we have had any experiences with the night marchers or any other supernatural forces in Hawaii.
- [16:23]
Yvette Gentile
So growing up in Hawaii, thank God I did not experience the night marchers, like, in person. But there was a time growing up, I was probably. I was, I don't know, 16, 17. We would go to the graveyard in Pearl City in Hawaii, and we would, like, sit out there, do things we probably weren't supposed to be doing.
- [16:46]
Racha Pecorero
What were you doing?
- [16:47]
Yvette Gentile
Probably drinking or. I mean, I didn't smoke, but probably, you know, whatever. And we would sit around and, like, wait until midnight to hear the night marchers.
- [16:59]
Racha Pecorero
Oh, my goodness.
- [17:00]
Yvette Gentile
But then you start getting freaked out because every little noise that you hear in a cemetery you think is the night marchers. So that didn't last too long.
- [17:10]
Racha Pecorero
And for those of you that don't know who or what the night marchers are, they are basically ali'I, or from the kingdom of Hawaii. And they're warriors that take a path normally from the mountains. So from the mountains to the ocean and their spirits. But if you cross their path, you could be killed. Or it's just. It's about respect, right? So, like, if you see them, you're supposed to turn away. You're supposed to say you're Hawaiian. Yeah, it's. Yeah. Stay tuned. I'm sure we'll do an episode on night marchers. And I want to interview Lopaka Kapanui from Mysteries of Hawaii because he's the most amazing storyteller and has even written a book about the night marchers. And anyway, I digress, But.
- [17:59]
Yvette Gentile
But we are, you know, we are island girls through and through. So there are so many incredible Hawaiian folklore stories that we want to dive into, you know, and we want to take you on that journey as well.
- [18:11]
Racha Pecorero
And I feel like I was always protected, even though I had a very tumultuous childhood on one side, not with you and mom, of course, but I always felt that I was surrounded by spirits and protection. And I think that's probably because mom always, you know, instilled that in us.
- [18:31]
Yvette Gentile
Well, I have to say I think that that is Hawaii, because the. The aina, the land, right. Is so sacred. And for those people who have never been. Once you go, you will understand exactly what I mean. The moment you step off that plane. There is just this energy there, and it's. You can't explain it, but you can feel it, like from the bottom of your toes to the top of your head, that it is some deep, sacred stuff.
- [19:02]
Racha Pecorero
Yes, absolutely. And that's one thing I'll always be proud of, being born and raised in Hawaii, because it has what we call mana, which is spirit and magical. And the energy of the ain. Of the land, it's so magical.
- [19:22]
Yvette Gentile
Okay, here is another question. If you could have any supernatural experience, what would you want that experience to be? And why?
- [19:31]
Racha Pecorero
Don't make me cry.
- [19:33]
Yvette Gentile
Well, we're both going to say the same thing. I know it would be to see our mom.
- [19:39]
Racha Pecorero
Yeah.
- [19:40]
Yvette Gentile
To see her smile, to feel her embrace.
- [19:44]
Racha Pecorero
We want her to happily haunt us. I mean, I know I'm crying right now, you probably can't see that, but I want her to happily haunt us. And she promised me. When I was little, I used to hate getting my hair brushed. Do you remember this?
- [20:02]
Yvette Gentile
Yes. No, I do. I do.
- [20:03]
Racha Pecorero
And I would. I'd be like, no, mom, don't brush my hair again. And she'd be like, just wait. I'm going to haunt you one day when I die. And I'm going to be brushing your hair. And she hasn't thought it yet.
- [20:13]
Yvette Gentile
I know. That's so. That's a. You know, I think for. For anybody out there who has lost a parent. You know, we call it. Excuse my French, we call it the fucked up club, because it is. And it's like. Especially when you have a parent that loved you, like, unconditionally, and you. The same with them. It's so. It's just the hardest thing you will ever experience in your life. And to be able to have one more moment is everything.
- [20:50]
Racha Pecorero
Yeah. So haunt us, mom.
- [20:51]
Chuck
Please.
- [20:52]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, please haunt us. Please haunt us. When I think about one of the haunting, for me, right, with mom, My mom loved my hair. Naturally curly.
- [21:04]
Racha Pecorero
She did.
- [21:05]
Yvette Gentile
So whenever I wear it straight or have it blown out. Like, I could hear my mom saying, why are you doing that? Like, you need to wear your hair naturally. Curly more. Da, da, da, da. Well, today, mom, hello. I'm in studio, and guess what? My hair is curly. Yeah.
- [21:27]
Racha Pecorero
And our mom rarely got mad at us. Mom was the most supportive, loving human being ever.
- [21:34]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, she was our biggest cheerleader.
- [21:38]
Racha Pecorero
Okay, so we're switching gears a little bit. We got the question, what unsolved true crime case would you love to know the answer to?
- [21:47]
Yvette Gentile
I think you know.
- [21:48]
Racha Pecorero
I know what you're gonna say.
- [21:49]
Yvette Gentile
I have been obsessed. Not. I mean. Okay, yes. I should say yes. JonBenet Ramsey.
- [21:56]
Racha Pecorero
Mm. I knew you'd say her.
- [21:58]
Yvette Gentile
I just remember this happening when I was at home in Hawaii, and I had done pageants early on, so I was just so devastated. So sad. But this case is just never ending, because first you think it's the mom, then you think it's the dad, then you think it's an intruder, and then you think it's the bre. Like, yeah, that's. And I know Ashley just did this, you know, with the father, and.
- [22:29]
Racha Pecorero
Yeah, I would love to know that, but I'd also. Okay, I might get some hate for this, but I'm gonna say it because I need to know the absolute 100% truth, because I'm 99.9% sure that he did commit the crimes, but I want to 100% for sure know that O.J. simpson.
- [22:52]
Yvette Gentile
Oh, that's what you're gonna say?
- [22:53]
Racha Pecorero
Who did you think I was gonna say?
- [22:54]
Yvette Gentile
I thought you were gonna say Scott Peterson.
- [22:56]
Racha Pecorero
Well, I was thinking about that, too. Okay, so really there's two. So I'd want to know 100% that O.J. simpson killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, And I want to know 100% what happened to Lacy Peterson, because I'm not.
- [23:12]
Yvette Gentile
Not her son. Her unborn son, of course.
- [23:14]
Racha Pecorero
And her unborn son, Connor. Yeah, I think that's where I became a crime junkie first, was with the Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman case. And I always like to lead with the victims rather than the perpetrator.
- [23:29]
Yvette Gentile
Always.
- [23:30]
Racha Pecorero
Always. But I'd want to know 100% for sure, because justice needs to be served, even if those people are long gone. The people who need to be convicted.
- [23:40]
Yvette Gentile
Yes, Agreed. Okay, what is the next question we have for y'all? Okay. What episode of so Supernatural has been your favorite to look into and record so far?
- [23:54]
Racha Pecorero
La Llorona is my absolute favorite episode we've ever recorded. And the reason being is because one of our family friends, one of my best friends in the entire world, Jessica Araiza, we called her when we were preparing for La Llorona. And she told us all sorts of stories because she is of Mexican descent. Yeah, Mexican descent. And when we asked her, have you ever heard of La Llorona? And the first thing she said is, what Mexican hasn't? And then I went down the TikTok, you know, rabbit hole, and saw all of these videos that are pretty believable.
- [24:37]
Yvette Gentile
And you were in Mexico, And I.
- [24:39]
Racha Pecorero
Was in Mexico back. This is in the year 2000. I was there for, like, three weeks. I was in Sol Chimilco, and I actually saw. I can't remember the Spanish name of the island or. No, it's the island of the Dolls. It's where all these dolls are hanging from these trees and where they think La Llorona was. And I actually was there, but I. I didn't connect the dots until Jessica was telling us the story. And it was so heartbreaking and so fascinating at the same time.
- [25:11]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, it's a wild Mexican folklore story. And I remember watching the Legend of La Llorona with Danny Trejo.
- [25:21]
Racha Pecorero
Oh, the movie.
- [25:22]
Yvette Gentile
The movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they go to the island of.
- [25:26]
Racha Pecorero
The Dolls when I was there in person in 2000, and I was dating someone from Mexico at the time, and he had. Again, I wasn't out yet, and he didn't have a really good. He wasn't very good at translating between English and Spanish. So I thought it was a man that had killed his children, not La Llorona that had killed her children. And there was this old man on the island of the Dolls. And I'm like, why is there a killer on the island of the Dolls? And I was so freaked out on my little boat ride, but it was a tourist attraction in, you know, right outside of Mexico City in Xochimilco. But when Jessica was telling us the stories, then it all connected for me. It was nuts. But what episode of so Supernatural has been your favorite?
- [26:12]
Yvette Gentile
There's so many at the top of my mind. There's two right now. Okay, so there's the Bell Air house that we just did, which is in Ohio. And this. This story just. Again, it's one of those houses, you know, that have crazy supernatural energy going on. But the thing that, I guess that gets into my psyche so much is what happened on the land before the house was built. What Native Americans lived on this property before or what happened. It happened in the 1900s. There was a man who Lived there who had a coal mine, and there was supposedly an explosion, and a bunch of people passed away. Like, there's that energy. Then there's also something that I had never heard of before, which is called the ley lines.
- [27:08]
Racha Pecorero
Right.
- [27:09]
Yvette Gentile
And these are spiritual cross lines of where there are possible portals of energy that could come through. And that house sits on one of these particular ley lines. This just baffles me to. I can't even. I get so, like, I get worked out, worked up, and I get a little geeked out because I think, oh, my God. Okay, so you have the spiritual, right? And then you have the scientific. Because is it just electromagnetic energy that is under these grounds, or is it an actual spiritual portal of some kind? Right, right. And I said this on one of the episodes. I wish we could have the medium, Alison Dubois and Neil Degrasse Tyson, come and, like, we could have a.
- [28:00]
Racha Pecorero
Like, talk to people about a battle, science versus spiritual.
- [28:05]
Yvette Gentile
But that. That particular story was fascinating to me. There's another one, the Carol A Deering, about this ghost ship that.
- [28:14]
Racha Pecorero
You're obsessed with it.
- [28:15]
Yvette Gentile
That I'm obsessed with that all of the people on the ship just disappeared. No trace, gone.
- [28:22]
Racha Pecorero
Like, what do you think happened?
- [28:24]
Yvette Gentile
This is the thing again, I'm the type. I like to read. I like to watch documentaries. I like to watch movies. So I started watching 1899 on Netflix, which talks about a ghost ship. Well, they're describing, like, all these different portals that these people could have disappeared through. Now, do I think that happened? I don't know. Is it interesting to assume that happened? Very much so. But it's just like, where do they go? Like, how can there still be food? Like, on the tables? And then there's nobody there. Was it a mutiny? Did they just disappear out of thin air? Like, the bodies have never been found? Granted, there could have been sharks or animals, you know, that ate the bodies, But I don't know. It just doesn't add up. So these are, like, mysteries that I can't seem to get out of my mind. Okay, here we go. We got another one. What supernatural story do you believe is 100% true?
- [29:28]
Racha Pecorero
I know what you're gonna say, so I can't take that answer. I will say, even though I've never physically seen one myself, I would say ghosts or spirits. I 100% believe in them. I have felt things, I have heard things, but I have never seen things. But I still 100% believe that ghosts and spirits exist in this world.
- [29:57]
Yvette Gentile
I absolutely 100% agree with you. And I just want to backtrack a little bit. When I was telling that story when I was a little girl, remember, fast forward, years later, I was in Oregon. I was modeling in Portland, Oregon. And I was with my friend Shayla. Do you remember this story?
- [30:12]
Racha Pecorero
I do.
- [30:13]
Yvette Gentile
We were at this cute little restaurant in Lake Oswego, and she started to tell me that there is a. There's a presence of a woman here who wants to speak to you. And I was like, wait, what? And she said, she's coming through as your grandmother and she wants to apologize to you for throwing you out of the house when you were 5 years old, or however old I was.
- [30:42]
Racha Pecorero
And that was Jimmy Lee.
- [30:43]
Yvette Gentile
And that was Jimmy Lee. And she started to describe, like, our house, my grandmother's house. Like, my grandmother had plastic over her couch back then, and like the window frame, the curtains. And it brought me to tears in that restaurant that she was actually coming through Shayla, to apologize. To apologize to me. So I 100% agree with that as well. As well, as you all know what I'm gonna say. Aliens. Aliens and aliens. I absolutely believe that they do walk among us. I just feel like there's too much out there to not believe that they don't exist.
- [31:32]
Racha Pecorero
Couldn't agree more, actually.
- [31:33]
Yvette Gentile
I have to tell you the story. I didn't tell you this story. Oh, my God. So I was just home in Hawaii. Gino and I were home in Hawaii. We were out on the balcony in Waikiki, and it was probably about 10 o'clock at night, and we were looking to the ebbiside, you know, the mountain range of the Ebbiside from where we were. And there was this light that kept bouncing in and out, like over the range and then back. And I'm not talking like an airplane. An airplane. You know, it was like something un. Otherly. And I was like, gino, did you see that? Did you see that? And he. And we got. And we actually. We had our binoculars and he took a look and he's like, I do. I see it. But it was. I couldn't explain, was moving way too fast. Granted, it wasn't close like some people have had encounters. Because let me just tell you, I would love to be one of those people who saw it up close.
- [32:29]
Racha Pecorero
You just need to see the spacecraft. You don't want to see the actual alien?
- [32:32]
Yvette Gentile
I don't know. I mean, probably, but I think I would. I want to see the spacecraft first.
- [32:40]
Racha Pecorero
Just to know.
- [32:41]
Yvette Gentile
Just to know that it's real.
- [32:43]
Racha Pecorero
Yeah, that's so funny. I know. I don't think you told me that story.
- [32:48]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, I've totally forgot.
- [32:49]
Racha Pecorero
I know. And listeners, you have to know Yvette and I talk like five or six times a day, so I'm shocked that she didn't tell me that story.
- [32:58]
Yvette Gentile
You've had a lot going on in the last couple months, too.
- [33:01]
Racha Pecorero
So this is true.
- [33:02]
Yvette Gentile
This is true. But I would love. I would love to see a spaceship. Spaceship.
- [33:09]
Racha Pecorero
All right. Have you ever changed your opinion on a supernatural story while looking into it and working on an episode of so Supernatural?
- [33:18]
Yvette Gentile
I have to say, when we did the episode on the Monoliths, right, At first, my mind. Because, you know, my mind always goes directly to It's Got an Alien. They put it there.
- [33:29]
Racha Pecorero
That's.
- [33:30]
Yvette Gentile
They did it, you know? But when I think about that story and how easy it was to dismantle this, I thought, you know, I think this is definitely probably an artist, right, that put it there. Maybe an artist that passed away. I think we spoke about that in the. In the episode. And maybe someone who carried on that legacy, right, of this particular artist and then just started putting them up in other places. But I don't believe that those were put there by aliens, per se. What about you?
- [34:08]
Racha Pecorero
Well, for me, when we first started, you know, doing our research and diving into Dear David, I, like, really believed everything that happened. But I think. And again, everyone's truth is their truth, right? But I think that the BuzzFeed writer that experienced seeing Dear David, I have a feeling it was more of very vivid bad dreams, I think, especially. Cause I went to his Instagram and I kind of went on a rabbit hole.
- [34:43]
Yvette Gentile
Stalked him, though.
- [34:44]
Racha Pecorero
Stalked him a little bit. And I was like, oh, this is his whole identity. You know what I mean? He talked about it, I mean, which is fine. But I was like, I don't. I don't know. Because in the moment when I saw the photos of Dear David, you know, I could, like. I know you couldn't really see I couldn't Dear David on the camera, but I thought that I could. But then going back, I was like, no, it was kind of a stretch a little bit. But again, everyone's truth is their truth.
- [35:14]
Yvette Gentile
So. Yeah. And I think I was always a little skeptical. Well, I mean, I teeter a little bit back and forth because he was a comedic writer, you know what I mean? And then to go from something funny to something so dark, again, these people are experiencing whatever they're experiencing in real time to them, right? So whether it be true or not to us. It is definitely true to them.
- [35:40]
Racha Pecorero
Yeah.
- [35:41]
Yvette Gentile
All right.
- [35:42]
Racha Pecorero
Another question we got. If you really knew me, you would.
- [35:45]
Yvette Gentile
Know that I am a very old soul. I feel like I have walked this earth a few times over. I don't sweat the small stuff. I live in the moment. And I always project for people to do the same, to take their moments, to take their breaths, to go to the ocean. Because that, the ocean is my happy place. It is my peace of mind. It is my sanctuary. I love life. I love people. I love giving. I think the most important thing in this world is to be kind to one another. And that is what our mother, like so inside instilled in my sister and I. And I think that is what is so infectious and contagious about us.
- [36:43]
Racha Pecorero
Yeah, we try to lead with kindness always. Even when you want to punch someone in the face?
- [36:48]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, even even then. Even then.
- [36:51]
Racha Pecorero
Lead with aloha. Lead with kindness.
- [36:55]
Yvette Gentile
What about you, Rasha?
- [36:56]
Racha Pecorero
So for me, if you really knew me, you would know that first and foremost, I am from the beautiful island of Oahu in Honolulu, Hawaii. I always lead with that, always. Because that is so much of who I am as a human being. And I think that our mom made the conscious decision to raise both of us there. I'm blonde hair, blue eyed. Yvette is this beautiful biracial goddess. And she, our mom decided to raise us in a place where racism isn't as prevalent as it is in other places in the world because she didn't want us to experience what she experienced. So I think that's such a huge thing for me and I'm a huge advocate. Even before I came out as a lesbian at the age of 30, I always wanted to fight for what was right. Always. I always try to lead with kindness even when I'm fighting. But I believe in human rights. I believe in equality. And I think that stems from our mom.
- [38:12]
Yvette Gentile
Right. Well, we believe in humanity for all.
- [38:15]
Racha Pecorero
Yes.
- [38:15]
Yvette Gentile
And that is what mom felt fought for her entire life. You know, being a white woman raised in a black environment at a very. Thinking she was mixed, thinking she was mixed. But years later finding out, but, you know, always wanting to just show kindness and love. She just thought racism was the most stupidest thing on the planet, you know, and to have two girls that were so different, she just, she wanted us to empower and hold the highest and the best for ourselves and for the world itself. Right?
- [38:56]
Racha Pecorero
Absolutely.
- [38:58]
Yvette Gentile
Okay, y'all, so now we're going to go into some rapid fire questions.
- [39:02]
Racha Pecorero
What would you say to Someone that is new to you and so supernatural. If you're new here. E como mai. Welcome to so Supernatural. We're going to giggle. We're going to cry.
- [39:12]
Yvette Gentile
We're going.
- [39:12]
Racha Pecorero
We're gonna go through all of it and we'll give you all the theories.
- [39:17]
Yvette Gentile
Okay, what's your biggest pet peeve?
- [39:19]
Racha Pecorero
When people don't believe that Yvette and I are sisters because of the way that we look. And when they say, oh, you're only half sisters. Non, non, non, non, non, non, non. We're sisters.
- [39:31]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah. I have to agree. That is my biggest pet peeve as well, because, yes, hello, we are sisters. It is possible.
- [39:38]
Racha Pecorero
I know we came out of the same womb. People. Yeah. Just have different.
- [39:43]
Yvette Gentile
But I guess one of my other biggest pet peeves is when people don't listen and just form their own opinion without hearing what someone else is truly saying.
- [39:53]
Racha Pecorero
That's a good one. All right, here's another one. What's your Go to energy drink?
- [39:58]
Yvette Gentile
I do not have a Go to energy drink.
- [40:00]
Racha Pecorero
You used to.
- [40:02]
Yvette Gentile
And then I got heart palpitations, so I could not drink it anymore.
- [40:06]
Racha Pecorero
She gives me stink eye every time I have a Red Bull, But I don't care. I love them.
- [40:11]
Yvette Gentile
Let's just say my go to energy drink is green tea.
- [40:15]
Racha Pecorero
Oh, my God, you're so boring.
- [40:19]
Yvette Gentile
We got another one. Are you a morning or afternoon person? I am a morning person.
- [40:24]
Racha Pecorero
I am not a morning person. I am more of an afternoon person because to be honest, after I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I feel like this was in April of 2024 when I was diagnosed. Eight years to the day of when our mom was diagnosed. April 8th, to be exact. And since that diagnosis, I had to go through several surgeries. And so I've been more of a napper because of all the surgeries. And I feel like I'm my best self after I have a nap.
- [40:56]
Yvette Gentile
Yeah, that's because your body is recuperating from everything that it's been through.
- [41:01]
Racha Pecorero
Yeah, for sure. But a glimmer of. Of brightness is that the cancer is gone. No more surgeries. And I haven't napped in like two weeks. So I have more time throughout the entire day to enjoy life.
- [41:18]
Yvette Gentile
Oh, my God. And I am definitely a morning person. I am the boot camp chick who gets up and goes to boot camp with my husband at 6am and I get all these memes from my friends sending them to me. Like I'm the one calling them at 5:30 in the morning for. For them to go get up and they're like still sleepy, sound asleep. So I am that girl. Yes.
- [41:38]
Racha Pecorero
All right, here's another one.
- [41:40]
Yvette Gentile
What is your favorite karaoke song?
- [41:42]
Racha Pecorero
My Go to karaoke song. I have to say it in Japanese.
- [41:46]
Yvette Gentile
Karaoke.
- [41:46]
Racha Pecorero
Karaoke is you make me feel like a natural woman from Aretha Franklin.
- [41:52]
Yvette Gentile
And my Go to karaoke song, Let me get my song in my head. We are family. Hey, hey, hey. I got all my sisters with me.
- [42:20]
Racha Pecorero
All right, friends, we hope you enjoyed this just as much as we did. If there is anything, and we mean anything, anything more that you'd love to hear or know about us that we didn't get to today, we would love to hear from you.
