Topics
Bretman Rock: 我在菲律宾的农场长大,那里的生活与美国截然不同。我们养了很多动物,鸡、羊、山羊和奶牛,我记得一些动物的名字,比如Elvis和Priscilla。菲律宾人给动物和人取名字的方式很有趣,我的名字Bretman也反映了这种风格。我们家境贫寒,但充满爱。我记得我祖母Lola Unang,她非常注重口腔卫生,这影响了我。我们经常吃一些简单的食物,比如用米饭、糖和Bear Brand面包做成的食物,以及用baguong、油和米饭做成的食物。这些食物都承载着我的童年回忆。来到美国后,我经历了文化冲击,比如看到高大的建筑物,干净的环境,以及各种各样的食物。在第一次去自助餐厅时,我因为只吃了一点就感到很尴尬。 Bella Poarch: 我在菲律宾农村长大,童年记忆中充满了与动物的互动,以及在香蕉叶上作画的经历。我的父母希望我专注于学业,所以限制了我绘画的时间。我给自己取名为Bella,灵感来自于迪士尼动画《美女与野兽》中穿着黄裙子的贝儿公主。我17岁参军,我的第一个服役地点在日本。在日本服役期间,我经常去东京,周末会去那里玩。来到美国后,我经历了文化冲击,比如看到高大的建筑物,干净的环境,以及各种各样的食物。在第一次去自助餐厅时,我因为只吃了一点就感到很尴尬。在怀厄纳居住期间,每天都会乘坐公交车前往阿拉莫阿纳。我16岁时曾在得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市的塔吉特超市工作。 Bretman Rock: 我的童年是在菲律宾农村度过的,那里的生活节奏缓慢,人与人之间的关系更加紧密。我们家养了很多动物,这让我从小就对动物很亲近。菲律宾的饮食文化也给我留下了深刻的印象,一些简单的食物,比如用米饭、糖和Bear Brand面包做成的食物,以及用baguong、油和米饭做成的食物,都承载着我的童年回忆。来到美国后,我经历了文化冲击,比如看到高大的建筑物,干净的环境,以及各种各样的食物。在第一次去自助餐厅时,我因为只吃了一点就感到很尴尬。

Saving money. Oh, I'm gonna really take a good guess at this. What? Piggy's back. No. Piggy's bank. Piggy bank. Is it because... Well, piggy banks hold coins and small money. No. Oh.

Great guess though. Hit me up. Tell me, tell me. No, but they were made because they used to piggy banks are made from this clay called piggy. Oh. Yes. So back then they would use that clay to make like banks of coins. And then that's how they started calling it piggy bank. Hmm.

I'm definitely gonna be a guest. I will be showing up and then I will be collaborating with a group. And I'm not gonna say it. Bella might bring back the Sex Bomb Girls. That would be so good.

Oh my god, that was so cute. You actually introduced me to that. I think Miss K was actually convinced she was a sex bomb when we were kids. I really was. Oh, that's so cute. Do you know how to do the spaghetti pa-ba-ba? Yes, probably. There's like a video of me out there from like my mom's wedding just dancing that. Eating everybody up. With the split and everything. Even Miss K would eat my splits up because she could do the splits this way and

And this way. Wait, can you still do a split? No. Girl, it was like our... It was like our party trick. Like every party we'd be like, guys, we know how to do the split. Come over here. Yeah. No, Miss K and I, we were so convinced we were part of...

Desi Shete Sex Bomb oh my gosh yes the teleserie do you remember Wawawee yes and they also had dancers what were they called they were called the Wawawee dancers but I remember their name Luningning there's Luningning Mariposa Mariposa

I don't remember their names. That is so niche. I feel like I'm so sorry for those people who don't understand the last three minutes of our conversation. But they're like dancers in the Philippines. They were like always put up against each other because one was with ABS-CBN and one was GMA. And now nobody gives a fuck because they're all together.

Yeah. They were just like the eight girls. Like the first girl group. They were. I'm very excited for your Philippine trip. Are you going home? Yeah, I'm going home. Because you're a Pangasinan queen. Yeah, so I'm going to go to Pangasinan. I'm going to go visit my old school. And just like my hometown and meet up with a couple of friends that I... And brother. Oh yeah, my brother's in Pampanga. So I'm just going to meet him there. And then he's going to be traveling with me. Would you like to tell them our niece fun fact?

Or what? We both have. Oh, yeah. This is how I know stars align, girl. So like I have a niece and her name is Cleo, which is one year older than Princesses Cleo. Right. From the Philippines. Yeah, from the Philippines. And it's your older sister? My oldest sister. Yeah. Yeah. This one's my younger sister and I named her Cleo. Like that's so weird.

Wow, you have an older sister? And we're not, and Sanchez Miraca is not too far from Pangasinan. Maybe like a couple hours. Yeah. And it's like, yeah, it's like the province area. Pangasinan is in Lugano too, right? Yeah. Pangasinan is there.

They say ngae at the end of their sentence. What is ngae? Or ngarud. What? Ngarud. Ngarud, right? Yeah, ngarud. Yeah. Ngarud. What are you most excited about when you go home? What is the first thing Belinda Marie is doing? Oh my god. I'm gonna go get me some street food.

Because I haven't had good Kikyum. You're a Kikyum girl. No, but honestly, girl, their fishball right now is so different. Wait, really? It's like kind of different now. Like what do you mean? Maybe because we're older. I think it looks the same and everything, right? Yeah. But when we were eating it, it didn't hit like how it hit when we were kids. Yeah.

Like I think it's just like how they make it now is just more different. I don't know. I think it's just we're getting older and maybe our taste buds are like changing but I was like, oh, period. Do you like balut? Yes. Do you eat the chicken part? Yes. I eat everything except for the white part. We should do a balut mukbang. Oh!

I love balut. Do you have balut right now? No, I don't. But they sell at Seafood City. And you're here for a couple more days. I'll bring some balut when I come. I'm eating those. You don't eat balut? No, I think it's a crime. She hates eggs. Oh, you do? Yes. But like the chick is not an egg. It's a chick. No. That makes it worse.

It was alive at once. Yes. But then they took it away and put it in the oven or like the boiling water. I can't help it though because my mom had cravings on it when she was having me as a baby. That's why I'm the only fucking hairy person in my family. That makes so much sense. You have really nice eyelashes and eyebrows and hair. Yeah, I call them feathers. These are my feathers, girl. I have a nice set of flock. What is that called? Lihian? Lihian?

Naglilihing. Naglilihing is when you're pregnant. Do you know yours? Yeah. Do you know what your mom had lihing on you when she... No. Period. Maybe a doll. Ooh. With the eyes. You do give munyaka vibes. We also have a cousin who had an ex whose mom lihied on a doll. And she literally looked like a doll. Like a doll. Like she hated dolls. Because when you lihi something, you only not love it. It kind of turns out to look like you. Yeah. Mine says a crab. Crab? Yeah. So I like...

Oh, you like to like... Touching stuff. Yeah. Rubbing my feet. She has like a texture thing with her feet. Yeah. She can't sleep until... Unless there's like... A little texture.

Or you know like those like... You know how in the glass doors, they have like a net thing? Yeah.

Yeah. A sliding net thing. She would rip the net thing from the glass doors and like use that to up her feet. I don't know why. Oh wow. It just feels nice. Okay. Do you have any weird quirks that you've been doing? I feel like I'm just weird in general. To your lifestyle. I think the weirdest thing about me that people find really weird is that I don't invite people over to my place.

I've never been. That's not weird at all. Yeah. That is not weird. That's not weird at all. Yeah. I'm very... It's not that I don't invite people to my place. I'm very picky with who I invite to my place. I have to like love you. Like I have to like... I know my sign is like... Not my sign but like up to my attic there's a lot of people that sign it but I know everybody's signature. I know everyone there. I know every... Like you know. Yeah. Like I have to know you because like my space is sacred and I'm sure that's how you feel about yours too. Yeah. I don't know. I just feel like

I feel like a cat sometimes. I'm very territorial. And I don't want people in my space. Yeah. I love that. I was gonna ask, is there any weird quirks about Bella Porch though? As like a singer slash… Like what do you do pre-shows that maybe are weird? What do you do when you're writing that maybe is weird? Like your writing process? I'm always snacking on honey before a show. Yeah, you… Yeah, I have like packets of manuka. I always have packs of manuka honey to just like eat.

Is it like a comfort thing? Or is it like actually like a technical like… What you got used to? Well, my vocal coach told me it's good to like… For my voice. To like lubricate my voice and like… Yeah. It just helps. But also I just love honey. Like I've always been like a honey girl. Like I put honey in my coffee or like my matcha. Or just eat it. And I just eat it. By herself period. Oh, you're so bee coded. I know. It is kind of weird because I've always been obsessed with honey. She got famous from like a song called The Bee.

M to the B. Yeah, it's kind of weird, right? And then I feel like in my past life, I was a B. I'm surprised you don't have a B tattoo. Because I'm the B. You are the B tattoo. Yeah. Period. She is the queen B. Yeah. Period. Miss K, do you have any questions, girl? Oh, before that, actually, let me show y'all the entry of last week that I didn't get to show y'all. And the cookies. Period. I'll do that after. Please. Please.

So on the deleted episode, I showed Bella the last time. The first time she slept over my house, we drew each other because she told me she draws. And I was like, girl, please. So we both gave each other one minute to draw each other. Excuse me. Self-portrait. And girl, let me just show you how talented this queen is. Not a lot of people know I draw. Like that's something I keep...

Secret with everyone. Even like on my socials, like you never really see my drawings. - Secret talent. Okay so I'm gonna cover mine first because it's embarrassing.

But this is what Bella drew of me in one minute. Beautiful, cutesy, and I was very detailed, very demure. See, and this was her. She had her eyes closed. You know, I got the pony though. The pony is eating. The leg up is eating. The leg up, like don't play with me. And her phone on the side. Were you always an artistic kid? Yes.

What did you do in Pangasinan? Like, how did you get your artistic-ness out when you were in Pangasinan in your little bukid? I mean, I used to draw on banana leaves. Because it stains. There was like a summer where my parents, well, the first summer, my parents got rid of all the paper in the house, including books, notebooks, and everything that I could draw on. And I know why. Because I just love drawing. Like, I was drawing on any paper I saw.

But... But why did they... Sorry. But why did they see that as a negative thing that you drew? Like, why did they... Because they only wanted me to focus on academics and not, like, you know... Because in school, I would... In school, I would also join, like, poster making contests or, like, any drawing contest. And I would always win gold. And, like... I know. But...

As you should. But I was, you know, I was winning gold on singing but also on drawing. But so, I would always draw on like banana leaves. Because you know you can draw on like banana leaves, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I love that. Did you have people to play with?

No. It was just you and your brother. Yeah. Me and my brother would just like play. Because I remembered my life in the Philippines. All my neighbors were like my playmates and we would meet up at the court. And Miss Kay's life was probably more similar to yours where like not a lot of kids were around you. I wasn't. Your best playmates was when I would come around. Yeah. Or when it was your brother. Neighbors or like school. Yeah.

I mean, I guess for me, we had a lot of animals. So I would just play with my dogs and my cats and like the goats and the sheeps and the cows. Love that. Yeah. We didn't have farms, but we had a pig. Aww. But they were just there for like... Food? Yeah. Speaking of food, what is the cat cooking? Meow.

So I made monster cookies, but I did like s'mores. So inside is marshmallow. Monster cookies. And, you know, the graham cracker at the bottom. And then instead of regular chocolate, I did this Reese's peanut butter chocolate. Okay, girl. Oh my gosh. We should share with the live studio audience as well. You guys look. Is it good, studio audience? It's really good. We have Luis Lomanzano today at the end.

Not to be confused with Kevin Aoki. She's good. It's like chewy. So good. I love it. Thank you, Cati. That was good. Bella, what are your plans while you're in town? Like in the Philippines?

The one around here. Oh, the Waianae one? Yeah. Wait, let's talk more. I feel like, because I do watch a bunch of your interviews, I feel like you rarely talk about your lifestyle here in Hawaii when you were living here. What was like your day-to-day life when you were living in Waianae? Right after I got out of the military, I would take the bus to Ala Moana from Waianae. Really? So it would take me. Girl. That's crazy.

You would take E or 42? Or C. I think 42. Or no, C. There's a 40. Oh, C. I don't think 42 comes in. I think C is the one. C is the one that comes in. Yeah. There's 42. 42.

But yeah. So you took C. So you got to town and… So you got out of work… Like two hours. Like two hours. Oh my god. But I loved it because I got to like just listen to like music for hours. I guess. Yeah. And people left me alone. Like it was… I looked very… Like my hair was always down. I honestly… Like I just let my curls out and I felt like… Yeah. They were like, oh I'm just another lovable girl. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

What would you do in Alamana? Or Alamana or Rikiki? Where would you go? Alamana. Period. What would your ass do there? Sometimes my friend would like invite me to lunch. So we would go to the pho place at the mall. Where's the spots? What's the spots? I forgot the pho in the mall. There's a pho on the very… Is it the food court or the top? No, the top. Tanaka or something? Right next to Jen. Right next to Jen. I know…

I know. Is it Ramen House? No. No. It's literally right next to that cooking place. The Yakiniku place. Yeah. Yeah. I know what you're talking about. I just can't. I don't know the name. I ate there before. Yeah. But that place is really good. It's really, really good. But yeah, honestly, I just hung out with my friends. And yeah. And I was also looking for like a part-time job at the time. Did you? I wanted to be like a receptionist at like a salon. Oh.

Why? That's so niche. Why? Because I don't know. I just thought it was cute. Wait, other than the military, do you have any other jobs? Before the military, when I was 16, I was a Target employee. Oh, really? I did not know that. Oh, not here. Not here in San Antonio, Texas when I was 16. How was it at Target? It was really fun. You get like 20% off like as an employee discount. Yeah. That's low. Yeah.

I know, but at that time, come on. Oh, I get it. I was like, a lot. Yeah. Well, did you know about the Target lore of like, they actually keep tabs of like, if you steal something and if you steal a certain amount of like, worth, that's when they...

I think it was like $1,000. Yeah, I think it's like $1,500 actually, right? Yeah. Do you have other like, oh my God, I need to know, I need to know, I need to know. Because I feel like on TikTok, I see a lot where like, I just got fired at Sephora. Here's what I know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is there any target lures? No. Honestly, I was too young. Like I couldn't even work past like 4 p.m. because I was underage. Oh, okay. So they were very strict and I could only work

Up to like a certain hours per week. Like six, five hours? Yeah, so I was making like $300 a month. Period. Enough to buy lipstick. Yeah, no, I was buying like cosplay stuff. Yeah, because I loved cosplay. What was your first cosplay costume? It was Hinata. Who that? Hinata. Hinata from Naruto. Which one is that? Which one is that?

Bitch, Naruto? Well, I know Naruto, but bitch, which one in Naruto? Is that the pink hair girl? No, it was the girl with the bangs with the white pupils. With the... Naruto's wife. Guys. He had a wife? Naruto had a wife? Oh my god. Wait, I stopped watching after a while. Like here, I'll show you what she looks like. She's really cute. Hinata. I think the last Naruto memory I know is when they had a...

Isn't she cute? Okay, yes. We know her. Oh, the blind girl. They ended up together? Yeah, and I have a huge crush on Neji, which was her brother, but they killed him on the show. I was so annoyed. Justice for Neji. A moment of silence for Neji. You will be missed. Thank you, Neji, for your service. So you did cosplays and...

While working at Target. And then you went to the military. I joined the military at 17. So I was like really waiting for my 17th birthday. And was Hawaii your first base? No, my first duty station is in Japan for two years. Oh, okay. And I was there. Like I was an hour train ride from Tokyo. So I was always there every weekend if I wasn't deployed. You must have loved it. Oh, I loved it so much. From like cosplay to like going there. I love it. How far did you live from the city?

Tokyo? Yeah. Yeah, an hour train ride. Oh, you said that already? Yeah. I was like, wait. Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry, you should be talking so fast. Oh, was I talking so fast? No, you weren't. I just didn't pay attention in that specific sentence. She was like, oh yeah, I used to live in Tokyo. I was an hour away. And I'm like, so how far were you from the town? This is why we don't do guests. Like the worst interviewer girl. And then after Japan, Korea? No. So, I mean, we would go like to different ports like when we are on deployment.

So in Japan, I was deployed with the USS Ronald Reagan. It's like an aircraft carrier. I don't know what that is. And it's a huge ship that can hold up to 5,000 people. And it carries like jets, helicopters, and like a lot of… Would you ever perform as Bella Porch in that plane?

That'd be so cunt, like a private plane in the ship with 5,000 people. Thank you, 5,000 guests. Honestly, yeah. Like a tribute to the troops. Yeah, honestly. Yeah. Who did a music video that's a tribute to the troops? Was it Christina Aguilera? Wait, really? Candyman. Oh, yes. Yes. That's really cute. Did you know she sampled the Andrew Sisters for that? She sampled Boogie Boogie Bugle Boy.

He was a famous trumpet man from a Chicago way. He had a boogie set but no one else could play. He was a chop man at his clamp. Wow, you really know. Oh girl, my mom. Well, we had a lot of like, I listened to a lot of like old Hollywood shit because my grandma in the Philippines would always have it on the TV because that was the only fucking channel they had during like Baguio season. It was like black and white. That's how I know like Streetcar Named Desire, Marlon Brando and all that stuff.

because that's all the channels we would have during Baguio season did you ever have to experience Baguio season in the Philippines? yeah it was very like where we live girl is so bad yeah like northern part of Luzon is always very like typhoon season and stuff that's where I experienced my first earthquake

Damn. Back in the Philippines. What was you like? Were you like, damn, this shit is shaking? Girl, yeah, I was. I was like, what the heck is happening? Why is all the walls and like things from the wall was like coming off? Were you scared?

No. It was just like, what is happening? Yeah. Yeah, you didn't really understand. Yeah, yeah. Because I didn't know what earthquake was. Do you have any like fond memories of like Philippines as a kid? I think my grandma. Tell me about her. Her name was Lola Unang. So I was with her before I was like adopted.

So I've only like... I've only... Yeah. I was only with her for a little bit. But I just remember... Oh my gosh. Wait. So we were like so poor. She wouldn't have enough money to buy...

Toothpaste Was very like She was into like Dental hygiene Like she was always clean And I felt like Now As an adult Like I'm always like Flossing every after Like meals and stuff Like I always take care Of my teeth Like that's something I Yeah I remember And I can delete this If you want But I remember You were telling me You were dating someone

No we should add this They didn't have a floss in their house Yeah And you were like Bye Yeah Cause you had asked them for a floss And you were like Like how do you How do you go to bed Without flossing your teeth

like i literally imagine the plaque that's like yeah no when i eat out at like restaurants like i would excuse like after and we love a good korea barbecue girl yeah i oh i literally i will show you in my bag right now i have floss in my bag because after i eat at a restaurant i would excuse myself and i would floss in the bathroom that's hot that is so cute that's cute i need to start implementing that in my life actually i have zero cavities

Girl. Not to flex, but... My seventh grade self is screaming because Gi, let me tell you, I went one time, she said six. With silver teeth? No, I didn't have silver teeth, but I had silver fillings. Oh, okay, okay. I didn't have silver teeth, girl.

But congrats, I guess. Like, you just think you're fucking better than everyone. Zero plaque. Thank you. Zero plaque, zero cavity. No, but, like, I love my grandma. Like, that's— Honestly, that's the funniest memory I have. Because she's, like— Wait, would you ever write a song about her? I did, actually. Will we ever hear it? Yes. Will the world ever hear it? It's gonna come out. Like, right now?

It's not out yet, but it's going to come out when my album is out. She used to mix Bear Brands. You know Bear Brands? Oh, yeah. Bear Brands are my favorite. Oh, my God. Bear Brands and Nido. Because, of course, we didn't have much. So, like, she would always make me...

Like rice? Like steaming hot rice? I know. Exactly. She sprinkles a little bit of sugar and then she puts the bear bread on top and I would eat it up. Like that shit was so good. That was a meal. It was so good. That sounds so good. My mom would do the same but with Milo. Milo.

And then our grandmother... This was already when we were in Hawaii. I don't know why we were eating this. And we weren't even... Well, we were so broke in the Philippines and in Hawaii. But remember when she would make us baguong with a little bit of oil and rice? That was mine. That's good. She would do rice, sprinkle baguong, and oil. And you would like kirug it. Yeah. It's so good. Do you have other pobrecita food that you used to like? I mean, the...

The egg with the tomatoes? With the salt? The egg. What is it called? The salty egg? Yeah. The red egg? Yes. It's duck egg, right? I think it's duck egg. It's duck egg. It's duck egg that they soak in salt. And then... Sorry. Excuse me. They dye it red. That fucking shot is coming back up.

Wait, it's not fermented? I thought it was fermented. No, it's not. But it's boiled. It's just boiled egg. But now when I eat eggs, I would always have tomatoes. Like when I eat eggs with breakfast because it just reminds me of that. It just reminds me of home. Yeah, you love a good tomato. Yeah, always. I love a good tuyo. Tuyo would be like a really good tomato. And vinegar. No, I use patis. Patis.

Oh, it's already salty though. I know, but I like the saltiness. It's extra salty. Yeah. It's crazy. Because it balances with the tomato and the rice. Kiefer, do you remember any Pobresita food? Probably just that or like I would like to eat the, you know the...

When you cook rice from like a pot, not from the rice cooker, you know the ends of the rice? Oh, the utong. Yes. Utong. We call it kilabban. Utong? I don't know. Maybe I'm just... Okay. And I would just eat that by itself. Ah, I know what you're talking about. Or you can dip it in soy sauce. Like my mom would dip it in soy sauce. Wait, are we speaking Tagalog? Okay.

So I said, I'll just stay here. I'll just stay here. I was embarrassed because there were so many handsome people. Yeah.

She picked us up at the airport. Okay. Then I was eating a Chichira piyato that I bought in the Philippines. That I put in the bag. Then I threw the piyato when the rain stopped. One, two, three. I don't know Tagalog. One, one.

But I was like, what is litter? And I was like, what is litter? And I was like, what is litter?

It's called Will You Always Love Her? And I teased… The first video… Yes, with the chickens. I teased it with your chickens. And I was feeding them. Yeah. I'm very excited for that. Everyone was like…

Like, tease live? Yeah. Give us a little, like, five second. Why do you still love her? Yeah. Or maybe, like...

Your favorite line or lyrics from the song that you were like, damn, my pen is really fucking heavy. Oh, yeah. I think it would be the first verse, honestly. Hit me. It was just very... Just give us five seconds because I don't want to get sued by Warner. Yeah, okay. Or L.U. Because it's already out, the full song, because I performed it. The Streamers Awards. But the first verse goes... Who produced that? My producer, Lucas Simp.

Okay. Yeah, so I wrote this song. Did you write this song by yourself? Yeah, with people. But I was definitely leading it that day because I was in my feels. I had this concept on my notes app. And it was literally like, it was just said, will you always love her? And I've always wanted to write a song about it because it's honestly about my exes who never got over their exes before getting married. I hope you're good. Yeah. And so this one's very personal to me. Why?

Yeah, honestly, I don't know why people do that. Like, you jump into a relationship when you're not over your ex is like kind of crazy. That is crazy. That is fucking crazy. So do you have any advice for those people who's not over their ex and going to another relationship? Or what did that experience teach you the most? Yeah. I think an advice if you're not over your ex and you're thinking about jumping into another relationship, I think... Yeah, you just don't. I feel like you should just take time for yourself and really think about...

I hate you, bitch. Stop.

I'm the silent joke they have. It's an odd date. Like if I was to give someone advice and they've been through that, I'd just be like, just don't date. Period. It ends there. Honestly, my advice, don't. Now we're going to do a product of the day. Do you have a product, Bijou? Yes. You did? I forgot to remind you. Yeah.
