The Public Affair

Juliana is truly a boss, and wants us all to know she worked hard for it! From dealing drugs, being an addict, and spending some years in prison to owning several businesses and raising a family, Juliana Resendez is a force to be reckoned with and isn’t going to let anyone get in her way! Another reason why I appreciate this episode so much is because Juliana and I definitely got off on the wrong...

Finally… an episode the WHOLE FAMILY can watch, even the kids!!! We took a different approach with this episode, being that this gorgeous real estate mogul has this “calm” and “radiant” presence when she enters the room, followed by a very classy poise! Anel did not shy away from telling us the personal struggles her family had to endure, and how it drove her to be as successful as she is today wi...

I remember when I first spoke to Luis, who had sponsored some earlier episodes of The Public Affair with Red Rhino Flooring, he told me he didn’t think he would be able to provide a good episode. He felt like he would be “boring” and not have a lot to talk about. BROOOOOO!!!! Luis came on and gave us ALL the real sh** that happens behind closed doors, both personally and professionally! For a man...

A socialite, and tattoo artist, a painter, and a SKUMBAG!!!! So many people told me I had to have Skcoob on The Public Affair and, as always, they were right!!! This guy really takes life by the reigns and goes in full throttle! I enjoyed learning about his life growing up, his time behind bars, and more! Also, we got each other some exxxtra fun gifts! This man of many talents was definitely a joy...

This may be the most HILARIOUS episode of The Public Affair to date!!! I met Xavier some years ago and hit it off with him ever since! A lot of people in town hit up Xavier to coordinate their events like their quinceañeras and weddings. I knew that when I invited him on the show to talk about his success with LCI Waco Events, he was going to be as eccentric and extra as I always known him to be!...

This woman.... She is a warrior, a survivor, a goddess! I remember a lot of people here in Waco telling me that she had a great story to tell, and that was quite the understatement! From being a single teen mom, walking to work, section 8 housing, a suicide attempt and more, Rosalinda has truly been through it all! She hopes her story will reach out to other young women and men who are going throu...

https://youtu.be/h75M4PCv6OE I can't believe I actually had THE Holly Tucker on the show! Holly is a local country music QUEEN who made her breakthrough on Season 4 of the hit show on NBC, The Voice! I had a great conversation with her about her time on the show, her musical come up, her own personal thoughts on the direction her career is going, and more! Holly gave us some music "industea", and...

https://youtu.be/YAO-DOjPYvM I met Juan through social media a few years ago. I reached out to him when I saw that he had been about 2 or 3 years sober from alcohol, and I was trying to get an old friend on the same road. Since then, I have seen this guy single handedly try to give back to his community, just because! I always admired his energy and optimism however, we never had the opportunity t...

Any of my guests can tell you, we DO NOT rehearse nor do I tell you what to say or how to react, and Jaime followed suit! I always appreciate a guest who can freely speak their mind, and this World Welterweight Champion gave us nothing less. It was pretty cool sitting with this world title holder about his boxing career, and the state of boxing in 2022. Coach Jaime Lerma is as direct and blunt as...

This was for sure long overdue! Trevor (or I know him by his stage name, Evo), is another highly motivated and talented guy who wears a number of hats! I got introduced to him when I first heard him on a Joey Sais (Episode 5) song called "Fire". I remember around that time, people were telling me how great of a guest he would be for the show, and I never reached out until recently... so glad I did...

I really feel like Ulises is the epitome of "positivity" and "success". Like, if Ulises had something major going on in his life, you would never know because he sports a big smile from ear to ear like he's putting it in style! Ulises came on the show and shared things like life growing up without his biological dad, juggling family life with college and running his own Raising Cane's (which talki...

In an earlier episode of The Public Affair, I got to learn about "trans life" from the perspective of a trans woman (shout out Cici Ortiz). This time, I wanted the perspective of a trans man, which is why I was so excited to have my longtime friend, Chris Reyes, come on! Chris took some time to think about coming on the show, mainly because he lives a pretty private lifestyle, but I was glad when...

After over a year of asking, Misa the Barber finally decided to sit down on the show, and did not disappoint! Much like the episode we made, Misa is super laid back, chill, and honest! I loved talking about his life growing up (shout out to Denice Trevino Baltazar from Ep. 33), his career as a barber and more. He didn't shy away from the sensitive subjects either, like the rise in barbers prices a...

Early in my radio career, there were several Dj's and MC's I looked up to and were greatly inspired by. Dj Juni and Dj Mas Loko were definitely two of them! These guys know how to keep the party alive with their infectious personalities, and having them on the show was truly the highest honor! I loved talking about their radio Dj beginnings with the likes of other popular radio MC's like El Kutiz...

This episode was absolutely DELICIOUS. Junior has been a longtime sponsor with PhatBoy Micheladas y Botana and I have been begging him to come on the show! I was happy that Carlos Reyes came along with him to promote the upcoming, and scrumptious, Chonkys Tacos, as well! This episode also sits in as my first "Spanglish" episode, which I have also been excited to do! https://youtu.be/NRQdpuBr2QM Le...

I love having a strong couple on the show, and the Franco's are no exception! I don't think I have ever met a couple that rides as hard for each other as this couple, hands down! From their individual pasts and struggles to getting ready to start their own family, Sarahy and Abraham came on to share the strong values of their relationship, and I was here for it! I loved getting to know these two m...

I was so glad to finally get Eric Linares on The Public Affair! Eric is an entrepreneur and coordinator for some of the most popular local events, including The East Side Market. While not a Waco native, Eric is completely invested in watching making sure Waco always has something going on! I personally feel like he had his own agenda on the show as well, especially bringing his own bottle of tequ...

There's nothing I love more than having a young, up and coming talent on the show! I can remember hearing Capital G's music before I invited him on the show and thinking "maaaaaan I'm about to interview this guy!!!". I even had to verify it was him because it sounded so professional and "veteran" for lack of a better term. This conversation almost felt "philosophical", which explains why he is suc...

Hope is the real deal! Hope is very outspoken about her activism, her race in the Waco school board, her sexuality, and everything!!! I was a little "standoff-ish" at first, mainly because I thought she was super "PC" however, she TOTALLY proved me wrong! I have so much respect for this queen, and I am so glad she came on The Public Affair and served 100% realness! This candid conversation was def...

Can you believe it's been 50 episodes since I had a local realtor on the show? While we live amongst a great community of realtors in this growing city, I decided to seek the next generation (David) to get his perspective! It quickly turned into several DOUBLE SHOTS of tequila and turned extremely inappropriate! Hey, it's The Public Affair! What can I say? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit m...

This is The Public Affair, and I wanted Episode 69 to represent its title! We got lit, and I made it as crude and inappropriate as I could! Joe and Roman joined me on this super exciting and over the top episode, and they were such good choices to have on! I'm in so much trouble after this one!

Jojo was so overdue to come on The Public Affair! Jojo is an OG DJ from Waco who also takes his talents to the surrounding cities. Joining the amazing roster of DJ's I have on board, Jojo brought something a little different to the table, being brave enough to open up about the troubled childhood that he says he only shared with less than a handful of people! It was truly an episode I enjoyed doin...

Some months ago, I went out on a whim and messaged Waco's Chief of Police to see if she would do the show, and she said YES! I honestly didn't think she'd go for it, especially due to her important role in the community, but she did and followed the tradition of The Public Affair, to just be yourself! I really appreciate how loose and candid she was in our conversation, especially as it relates to...

This man wears a number of hats in the community, including producing and writing music, photography, and so much more! Giovanni to me was the epitome of not judging a book by its cover. While his eccentric and over-the-top personality may be too much for some people to handle, I found Giovanni to be very kind, and he displayed a great deal of passion when talking about uplifting his peers! YouTub...

I had a lot of people in town request this queen, and I can see why! I loved sitting down with Christina and learning about her awesome come-up! Christina shared what it was like going through her lowest, including losing her job, being broke, going through an abusive relationship, and so much more! She eventually became a super successful credit repair specialist and, with our broke selves, we co...
