too crazy, hectic of a day for you.

 

35

00:01:34,024 --> 00:01:36,634

Mariana Treviño: No, it's been really

exciting talking about the show.

 

36

00:01:36,634 --> 00:01:41,375

It's, it's, it's really nice 'cause you,

you know, you bring out of your heart

 

37

00:01:41,375 --> 00:01:45,935

what you know, everything that you lived,

you start remembering, you talk about it.

 

38

00:01:45,935 --> 00:01:48,425

We were just saying with Marc,

like, it's really nice to talk

 

39

00:01:48,425 --> 00:01:50,914

about our show and revisit it.

 

40

00:01:51,339 --> 00:01:52,750

Again, you know, and

 

41

00:01:52,869 --> 00:01:55,570

Marc Preston: caught the

first, uh, oh gosh, the first

 

42

00:01:55,570 --> 00:01:57,369

three or four episodes so far.

 

43

00:01:57,580 --> 00:01:58,570

Loving the show.

 

44

00:01:58,899 --> 00:01:59,800

Uh, great cat.

 

45

00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,160

I think you're a lot of fun as well 'cause

you're the, I'll just say that you're the

 

46

00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,580

quintessential wonderful mother, but there

seems to be a little mischief in there,

 

47

00:02:06,580 --> 00:02:08,139

so that's gonna be kind of fun, you know?

 

48

00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:08,259

Yeah.

 

49

00:02:08,259 --> 00:02:12,130

So, um, you're originally

from Monterey, correct?

 

50

00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:13,250

Mariana Treviño: I am Monte.

 

51

00:02:13,250 --> 00:02:13,760

Oh, okay.

 

52

00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,710

Ah, in the north of Mexico.

 

53

00:02:15,770 --> 00:02:16,220

Marc Preston: I know.

 

54

00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:18,470

I'm right now in South Padre Island.

 

55

00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:19,070

So if you're from re

 

56

00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:20,900

Mariana Treviño: Oh, I

love South Padre Island.

 

57

00:02:21,020 --> 00:02:22,760

We went there when we were little.

 

58

00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:25,820

A lot of people from my city since

it was closed, we went there.

 

59

00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,730

Marc Preston: In fact, I had some

very close friends who we saw

 

60

00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:32,180

every year growing up, uh, Liliana

and, and, uh, Jesus Treviño.

 

61

00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,520

I don't know where the, I would

love to reconnect with him.

 

62

00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:35,630

Last vo

 

63

00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,090

Mariana Treviño: there's so

many Treviños in Monterey.

 

64

00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:39,020

There's like millions of.

 

65

00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,600

Families with the same last name.

 

66

00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:40,720

It's

 

67

00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,579

Marc Preston: kind of the,

it's the Mexican Smith.

 

68

00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:43,329

Yeah,

 

69

00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:43,929

Mariana Treviño: exactly.

 

70

00:02:44,049 --> 00:02:45,400

But only from Monterey.

 

71

00:02:45,850 --> 00:02:48,730

Only from that part of, of, of Mexico.

 

72

00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:52,359

So we might be related

or not to Lee Treviño.

 

73

00:02:52,420 --> 00:02:53,470

You know Lee Treviño?

 

74

00:02:53,470 --> 00:02:53,500

Oh,

 

75

00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,899

Marc Preston: I, I went to

college with his daughter.

 

76

00:02:55,899 --> 00:02:56,380

Yes.

 

77

00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:57,045

Yeah, you

 

78

00:02:57,045 --> 00:02:57,245

Mariana Treviño: did.

 

79

00:02:58,329 --> 00:02:58,421

Marc Preston: Sure did.

 

80

00:02:58,465 --> 00:02:59,445

Uh, and, uh.

 

81

00:02:59,705 --> 00:02:59,765

Wow.

 

82

00:03:00,185 --> 00:03:03,305

Which my grand, my grandfather

thought was, uh, quite, you know,

 

83

00:03:03,305 --> 00:03:06,215

he was a big golfer and, uh,

we're from Dallas originally.

 

84

00:03:06,215 --> 00:03:07,505

So story with him.

 

85

00:03:07,505 --> 00:03:11,465

There was lightning that hit near him

one day and fused his zippers shut.

 

86

00:03:11,495 --> 00:03:14,165

I don't know if he got hit by

lightning or it was near him, but he

 

87

00:03:14,165 --> 00:03:16,355

had a zipper and it got melted shut.

 

88

00:03:16,565 --> 00:03:18,575

Which there were all

kinds of jokes about that.

 

89

00:03:18,575 --> 00:03:18,695

Thank

 

90

00:03:18,695 --> 00:03:18,875

Mariana Treviño: God.

 

91

00:03:18,875 --> 00:03:19,024

No.

 

92

00:03:19,024 --> 00:03:21,545

Yeah, I, I, I, I read about that.

 

93

00:03:21,605 --> 00:03:21,845

Yeah.

 

94

00:03:21,845 --> 00:03:22,625

That's crazy.

 

95

00:03:22,625 --> 00:03:25,804

I don't know if once or more than

once, because they say that once you

 

96

00:03:25,804 --> 00:03:30,095

get hit by lightning, it comes back

to you like you become magnetized and,

 

97

00:03:31,295 --> 00:03:33,845

Marc Preston: well, one thing I love about

Monterey, the people down there, there's

 

98

00:03:33,845 --> 00:03:37,269

a strong connection to Texas, you know,

and there are a lot of folks, was it.

 

99

00:03:38,605 --> 00:03:39,955

Was it Sam Santa?

 

100

00:03:40,045 --> 00:03:40,855

Am I saying it right?

 

101

00:03:41,185 --> 00:03:41,785

Mariana Treviño: Sam Santa.

 

102

00:03:41,785 --> 00:03:42,235

Yeah.

 

103

00:03:42,445 --> 00:03:42,565

Yeah.

 

104

00:03:42,565 --> 00:03:46,885

We always, yeah, we always want, and, and

it's true Monterey and, and the connection

 

105

00:03:46,885 --> 00:03:48,565

with Texas was always very tight.

 

106

00:03:48,835 --> 00:03:53,725

'cause we're also similar people like

the ranchers, there's farms, there's

 

107

00:03:53,725 --> 00:03:55,975

ranchers, there's cowboys, you know?

 

108

00:03:55,975 --> 00:03:56,065

Mm-hmm.

 

109

00:03:56,515 --> 00:03:57,025

Mexico.

 

110

00:03:57,025 --> 00:03:57,865

So it's like.

 

111

00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:00,990

Um, it's, the, was always very close.

 

112

00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,290

Marc Preston: And of course, uh,

Owen Wilson, he, he's a Dallas

 

113

00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:06,720

boy, I think, I think he's

originally from Dallas, from Texas.

 

114

00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,000

So there's got, you got that kind

of Texas thing happening there,

 

115

00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,710

which is, which is, uh, kind of fun.

 

116

00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:11,430

I love that.

 

117

00:04:11,430 --> 00:04:14,100

But, but I gotta know how, how did

the project come along for you?

 

118

00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:15,630

Because I know you do work now.

 

119

00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:17,190

Are they Mexican productions?

 

120

00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:19,769

Are they more just Spanish language

productions made in the us?

 

121

00:04:19,769 --> 00:04:22,230

I mean, where are you, where

are you spending a lot of your

 

122

00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:23,850

time or most of your time?

 

123

00:04:24,099 --> 00:04:26,200

Mariana Treviño: Yeah,

mostly, mostly in Mexico.

 

124

00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,479

I've, I've mostly worked in Mexico.

 

125

00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:30,219

I live in Mexico City.

 

126

00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,849

It's been years now, and most of

my career has been developed there.

 

127

00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,969

But in the late years I have been.

 

128

00:04:37,695 --> 00:04:41,175

You know, getting some other

jobs overseas, like in Spain,

 

129

00:04:41,415 --> 00:04:42,705

Marc Preston: my daughter

studied over there.

 

130

00:04:42,705 --> 00:04:46,425

I mean, the amount of eating that you

must do if you're in Spain is the food is,

 

131

00:04:47,355 --> 00:04:48,405

Mariana Treviño: the food is great.

 

132

00:04:48,405 --> 00:04:48,610

So I'm

 

133

00:04:48,615 --> 00:04:49,575

Marc Preston: so envious of you now.

 

134

00:04:49,575 --> 00:04:50,490

Yeah, that's, I'm

 

135

00:04:50,495 --> 00:04:52,575

Mariana Treviño: vegetarian,

so I miss a lot of it.

 

136

00:04:52,905 --> 00:04:55,965

There were like, oh, oh, I missed it.

 

137

00:04:56,685 --> 00:04:56,865

Yeah.

 

138

00:04:56,925 --> 00:04:58,395

But, but yeah.

 

139

00:04:58,485 --> 00:04:58,665

Yeah.

 

140

00:04:58,665 --> 00:04:59,325

The olive work.

 

141

00:04:59,415 --> 00:05:02,055

Marc Preston: I know, uh, Marc

Maron, I think is vegetarian also.

 

142

00:05:02,055 --> 00:05:03,730

So did y uh oh.

 

143

00:05:03,730 --> 00:05:03,850

Yeah.

 

144

00:05:04,234 --> 00:05:04,565

Marc is

 

145

00:05:05,135 --> 00:05:06,424

Mariana Treviño: That's right in common.

 

146

00:05:06,424 --> 00:05:06,724

Yeah.

 

147

00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:10,715

Marc Preston: Well, I, I will say the la

I just, uh, 'cause I had something going

 

148

00:05:10,715 --> 00:05:12,395

on I had to turn off right at the moment.

 

149

00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:15,875

Not gonna say I don't, I don't like

spoilers, but he was in a predicament.

 

150

00:05:15,965 --> 00:05:19,054

And you are, and you showed

up in his trailer to notice

 

151

00:05:19,294 --> 00:05:20,375

the predicament he was in.

 

152

00:05:20,375 --> 00:05:20,794

And that's, yeah.

 

153

00:05:20,854 --> 00:05:23,255

So that's where I've stopped,

you know, I gotta get, you know,

 

154

00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:23,921

beyond that now, beyond that.

 

155

00:05:24,094 --> 00:05:24,155

Yeah.

 

156

00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:26,044

Mariana Treviño (2): But, uh, but going

 

157

00:05:26,044 --> 00:05:27,695

Marc Preston: back, how, how

did the project come to you?

 

158

00:05:27,695 --> 00:05:31,565

How did you, uh, how did stick

end up coming into your world?

 

159

00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,850

Mariana Treviño: So I got,

I got an audition, and of

 

160

00:05:33,850 --> 00:05:35,050

course you get some scenes.

 

161

00:05:35,050 --> 00:05:39,880

And when I got this scene that I

auditioned with, I immediately was

 

162

00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,780

drawn of course, to the writing

of, uh, Jason Keller and Chris.

 

163

00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,320

It was just, uh, uh, funny

and it was interesting.

 

164

00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,640

I don't know what they were.

 

165

00:05:49,005 --> 00:05:52,905

I, I think, no, they were obviously

talking about golf in the scene, so

 

166

00:05:52,905 --> 00:05:55,185

I was like, oh, this is interesting.

 

167

00:05:55,185 --> 00:06:00,044

And the tone and just the rhythm of

the scene I loved, but one never knows.

 

168

00:06:00,075 --> 00:06:04,905

So that went into the universe

that like, and it came back and,

 

169

00:06:04,905 --> 00:06:09,645

and, and I started being, you know,

selected until I was in and then.

 

170

00:06:10,305 --> 00:06:12,164

Of course I knew about the whole cast.

 

171

00:06:12,169 --> 00:06:18,255

I, I knew about Owen and Marc and,

and, uh, so yeah, it, it's one of

 

172

00:06:18,255 --> 00:06:23,430

those like cur like curve ball gifts,

you know, that the universe mm-hmm.

 

173

00:06:23,436 --> 00:06:25,695

Throws at you once in a, once in a while.

 

174

00:06:25,695 --> 00:06:30,674

Like, like we were talking earlier, you

know, you, the actor works, works, works.

 

175

00:06:30,674 --> 00:06:33,015

And sometimes the universe,

like the, the, the.

 

176

00:06:33,585 --> 00:06:34,305

Not the universe.

 

177

00:06:34,305 --> 00:06:39,675

The career kind of responds in very

unexpected ways and offers some

 

178

00:06:39,945 --> 00:06:43,425

opportunities that it is like it, you

don't even know where it came from.

 

179

00:06:43,425 --> 00:06:46,065

But, but, uh, so this is the case.

 

180

00:06:46,065 --> 00:06:47,594

I was very surprised to be picked.

 

181

00:06:47,594 --> 00:06:51,825

I was very grateful and I

thoroughly enjoyed the process.

 

182

00:06:52,485 --> 00:06:53,534

Um, I think it's.

 

183

00:06:54,075 --> 00:06:57,045

Such a sweet and heartfelt show.

 

184

00:06:57,045 --> 00:07:01,065

And I think it's much needed in times

like this that we're living as humanity.

 

185

00:07:01,755 --> 00:07:02,806

Marc Preston: Yeah, that's

one thing I noticed about it.

 

186

00:07:03,075 --> 00:07:05,775

It there are stories which

have yet to be unraveled.

 

187

00:07:05,805 --> 00:07:07,094

You haven't gotten to that point yet.

 

188

00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:10,005

But, uh, it was interesting 'cause

the perspective I first had of

 

189

00:07:10,005 --> 00:07:11,085

it, I, you know, checked out.

 

190

00:07:11,475 --> 00:07:14,505

I listened to Marc Maron, uh, every

now and then, uh, whenever I'm in

 

191

00:07:14,505 --> 00:07:17,355

the car, I'll, you know, that's

usually where I check out podcast.

 

192

00:07:17,565 --> 00:07:19,935

Um, but he, he had discussed

it and I was like, well, sounds

 

193

00:07:19,935 --> 00:07:20,925

like an interesting project.

 

194

00:07:20,925 --> 00:07:21,615

Owen Wilson.

 

195

00:07:21,805 --> 00:07:24,535

The question is, did you have any

golf a any kind of background?

 

196

00:07:24,535 --> 00:07:26,335

Like, did you play, did you

have something in your world?

 

197

00:07:26,545 --> 00:07:26,755

Who did?

 

198

00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,060

I didn't.

 

199

00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:28,615

Mariana Treviño: I, I, I really didn't.

 

200

00:07:28,855 --> 00:07:34,495

I only had the Le Treviño reference

as I, every time I came here, somebody

 

201

00:07:34,495 --> 00:07:36,085

was, are you related to Le Treviño?

 

202

00:07:36,085 --> 00:07:37,015

But since I was.

 

203

00:07:37,545 --> 00:07:40,575

12 years old, you know, since

I went to South Pad Island.

 

204

00:07:40,905 --> 00:07:40,995

Mm-hmm.

 

205

00:07:41,235 --> 00:07:42,405

Everybody's lit Treviño.

 

206

00:07:42,645 --> 00:07:45,975

So we were always mystified

like, who is lit Treviño?

 

207

00:07:45,975 --> 00:07:47,655

Why does it keep coming back?

 

208

00:07:48,075 --> 00:07:53,625

And then I looked up his story

and it's just so inspiring and.

 

209

00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:58,980

One becomes identified, you know,

unconsciously with that, you'll read it.

 

210

00:07:58,980 --> 00:08:01,530

And maybe my mind threw

a little wish in there,

 

211

00:08:02,130 --> 00:08:02,580

Mariana Treviño (2): and

 

212

00:08:02,580 --> 00:08:04,380

Mariana Treviño: maybe

he led me to this show.

 

213

00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:05,280

Who knows?

 

214

00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,720

But that, that's really my, my

prior knowledge to the show.

 

215

00:08:09,930 --> 00:08:15,660

But, but when I started filming it

and just observing what it takes and

 

216

00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:19,920

analyzing what kind of sport it is,

I was absolutely mystified by it.

 

217

00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:21,930

I was completely fascinated by.

 

218

00:08:23,625 --> 00:08:26,655

Like taking dimension of the

kind of sport that it is.

 

219

00:08:26,655 --> 00:08:26,745

Mm-hmm.

 

220

00:08:27,105 --> 00:08:32,355

Very different from others and how

philosophical and like quant it is.

 

221

00:08:32,655 --> 00:08:32,805

Marc Preston: Yeah.

 

222

00:08:32,805 --> 00:08:34,395

They're two kind of

people I've found in life.

 

223

00:08:34,395 --> 00:08:37,305

They're people that really fuss over

the score and how they're playing.

 

224

00:08:37,485 --> 00:08:39,525

Other ones are just like,

ah, well I'm outside.

 

225

00:08:39,525 --> 00:08:41,414

You know, I'm, it's, it's a beautiful day.

 

226

00:08:41,414 --> 00:08:42,765

You're out driving around the golf cart.

 

227

00:08:42,794 --> 00:08:43,575

That's kind the golfer.

 

228

00:08:43,575 --> 00:08:46,725

I am, I don't really fixate on

the, uh, on the, on the playing.

 

229

00:08:47,050 --> 00:08:48,400

Yeah, on the scoring part of it, but

 

230

00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,740

Mariana Treviño: also there's a

part, a fascinating part, and it,

 

231

00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:52,480

and it talks about life so much.

 

232

00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,900

That's the beauty that it's like

metaphorical of what these characters are

 

233

00:08:55,900 --> 00:09:01,360

going through in the, in the show is that

there's always a part where no matter how

 

234

00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,270

you calculate your shots, no matter what

internal mathematics and the strategy that

 

235

00:09:07,270 --> 00:09:11,770

you're doing, and you know, you taking

consideration all the elements, there's

 

236

00:09:11,770 --> 00:09:16,630

always, because of this great expanse and

because you're coming, you're, you're.

 

237

00:09:17,175 --> 00:09:21,464

Your mind and intention that is

civilized in this really small ball.

 

238

00:09:21,469 --> 00:09:24,704

It's like that ball is like a

concentration of human intention.

 

239

00:09:25,155 --> 00:09:27,765

And, and, uh, no matter how much you.

 

240

00:09:28,275 --> 00:09:28,845

Put it forth.

 

241

00:09:28,905 --> 00:09:32,085

There's always an element

of un unpredictable outcome.

 

242

00:09:32,295 --> 00:09:33,165

Because of the wind.

 

243

00:09:33,165 --> 00:09:34,185

Because of the humidity?

 

244

00:09:34,185 --> 00:09:38,085

Yeah, because because there's many

aspects and you're interacting with

 

245

00:09:38,085 --> 00:09:43,545

all these natural elements and um, and

that's also a great part of it, you

 

246

00:09:43,545 --> 00:09:47,025

know, you never know the outcome Exactly.

 

247

00:09:47,625 --> 00:09:49,840

There's always an element of magic and of,

 

248

00:09:50,505 --> 00:09:53,444

Marc Preston: if you don't understand

the phrase man plans, God laughs.

 

249

00:09:53,444 --> 00:09:54,735

That golf's a great sport.

 

250

00:09:54,765 --> 00:09:54,824

Yeah.

 

251

00:09:55,125 --> 00:09:56,145

You know, to, to learn that.

 

252

00:09:56,204 --> 00:10:00,105

Well, I was curious when you were, uh,

you know, growing up, you said at, at

 

253

00:10:00,105 --> 00:10:04,635

in Monterey, was your family, were you

coming from, uh, performance people in

 

254

00:10:04,635 --> 00:10:07,845

the performing arts, or were you just

kind of like, I'm just gonna go do

 

255

00:10:07,845 --> 00:10:10,245

this thing and your family was doing

something totally different than you?

 

256

00:10:10,425 --> 00:10:11,265

Mariana Treviño: Totally different.

 

257

00:10:11,324 --> 00:10:11,595

Yeah.

 

258

00:10:11,595 --> 00:10:13,454

I, I, I don't, uh, um.

 

259

00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,110

So, uh, my, my parents are, became

teachers both in their own field.

 

260

00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:23,160

Um, I also studied literature

because of my mom, that that

 

261

00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,740

was close and similar to her.

 

262

00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:28,439

But the acting thing, I don't know.

 

263

00:10:28,439 --> 00:10:29,640

It really is a mystery.

 

264

00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,150

  1. When they asked me, I'm like,

I have no idea where it came from.

 

265

00:10:33,150 --> 00:10:34,380

Of course, I did dance.

 

266

00:10:34,445 --> 00:10:34,865

Mm-hmm.

 

267

00:10:34,950 --> 00:10:38,940

I did this whole set of little

preparations in my earlier formative

 

268

00:10:38,940 --> 00:10:43,470

years that I think led naturally to

this because I did dance, you know,

 

269

00:10:43,530 --> 00:10:45,690

for like four years in a conservatory.

 

270

00:10:46,140 --> 00:10:48,270

I did some singing, so it was all like.

 

271

00:10:49,574 --> 00:10:54,105

Preparing the instrument for something

that was gonna come, but really the

 

272

00:10:54,105 --> 00:10:58,454

decision to be an actress just came

out of the blue, as we can say it.

 

273

00:10:58,515 --> 00:11:02,145

Although I believe that nothing's,

nothing comes out of the blue really.

 

274

00:11:02,655 --> 00:11:04,515

There's other machinations.

 

275

00:11:05,015 --> 00:11:06,395

Of destiny working there?

 

276

00:11:06,395 --> 00:11:07,145

I don't know.

 

277

00:11:07,444 --> 00:11:07,745

Marc Preston: Something.

 

278

00:11:07,745 --> 00:11:09,125

Well, what was the original plan for you?

 

279

00:11:09,125 --> 00:11:10,925

What were you thinking about

doing when you were younger?

 

280

00:11:10,925 --> 00:11:13,415

Or were you in school like, I

think this is what I want to do?

 

281

00:11:13,475 --> 00:11:16,355

Mariana Treviño: Yeah, I think first

it was dance, but then I was like,

 

282

00:11:16,355 --> 00:11:17,824

okay, I need, I need something more.

 

283

00:11:17,824 --> 00:11:18,785

And then singing.

 

284

00:11:19,625 --> 00:11:21,275

I thought I was gonna sing, but then.

 

285

00:11:22,365 --> 00:11:22,905

I don't know.

 

286

00:11:22,930 --> 00:11:27,315

I, I, I went to Boston because my friends

were in Boston doing, you know, there

 

287

00:11:27,315 --> 00:11:31,605

were mo a lot of them were in Berkeley

and I went to do a summer program there.

 

288

00:11:31,995 --> 00:11:35,955

And even though I liked to sing and

everything, I, I remember this that

 

289

00:11:35,955 --> 00:11:39,525

I thought, hmm, I saw them studying

all day, their instruments, the

 

290

00:11:39,525 --> 00:11:43,245

piano room, my friend, like eight

hours a day, nine hours a day.

 

291

00:11:43,635 --> 00:11:47,415

And I remember thinking, okay,

I think this is not my thing.

 

292

00:11:47,985 --> 00:11:49,815

I love singing, but I'm not.

 

293

00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:52,260

I don't think, I don't

feel like a musician.

 

294

00:11:52,290 --> 00:11:58,230

And it was in Boston actually, that I got

the actor bug, like something came up.

 

295

00:11:58,230 --> 00:12:00,180

I was like maybe acting.

 

296

00:12:00,825 --> 00:12:04,275

I was next to New York, so my friend

said, why don't you just take a train?

 

297

00:12:04,965 --> 00:12:06,555

Marc Preston: Did you ever

do any of the telenovelas?

 

298

00:12:06,555 --> 00:12:07,814

Did you do any of that, or

 

299

00:12:07,935 --> 00:12:09,075

Mariana Treviño: not too many of them?

 

300

00:12:09,075 --> 00:12:12,525

I, I tried once, but it was really brief.

 

301

00:12:12,795 --> 00:12:19,395

I don't know, life took you towards other

paths, but I, I, I could have maybe if I

 

302

00:12:19,395 --> 00:12:24,885

had pursued down that path, but somehow,

like my current was going somewhere else.

 

303

00:12:25,305 --> 00:12:30,015

So, um, yeah, I was more, much more

of like a theater for many years.

 

304

00:12:30,550 --> 00:12:33,580

I just did like theater,

theater for many, many years.

 

305

00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:37,180

And then I jumped natural, I jumped to tv.

 

306

00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,260

I did a show for like two

years in, in Mexican tv.

 

307

00:12:42,130 --> 00:12:47,950

Um, and then, and then I went back to

theater, musical theater that I had no.

 

308

00:12:49,199 --> 00:12:53,729

Knowledge of, but that was very, for three

years, it was a very intense experience.

 

309

00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:59,130

And then I went back to movies

and tv, most of, and that's

 

310

00:12:59,130 --> 00:13:00,479

where I've stayed mostly.

 

311

00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:05,250

But going back to theater, of course,

is always like the home for me.

 

312

00:13:05,250 --> 00:13:06,540

You know, like, really?

 

313

00:13:06,540 --> 00:13:06,630

Okay.

 

314

00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:08,760

I, I, I kind of miss it sometimes.

 

315

00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,060

I'm like.

 

316

00:13:09,735 --> 00:13:11,685

I'm gonna look for an opportunity again.

 

317

00:13:11,805 --> 00:13:14,565

Marc Preston: Uh, Monterey, uh, somebody

explained it to me that it's the

 

318

00:13:14,565 --> 00:13:16,905

closest thing to Dallas and Mexico.

 

319

00:13:16,935 --> 00:13:17,715

I still want to go there.

 

320

00:13:17,715 --> 00:13:19,005

I was watching Eva Longoria.

 

321

00:13:19,335 --> 00:13:20,955

Uh, she has a show, uh, she's

 

322

00:13:20,955 --> 00:13:22,665

Mariana Treviño: from Corpus Christi

or something like that, right?

 

323

00:13:22,665 --> 00:13:23,325

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

324

00:13:23,610 --> 00:13:24,525

She, she this

 

325

00:13:24,525 --> 00:13:25,515

Marc Preston: wonderful sh show.

 

326

00:13:25,515 --> 00:13:25,995

Uh.

 

327

00:13:26,245 --> 00:13:27,505

Uh, in search of Mexico.

 

328

00:13:27,564 --> 00:13:29,395

I, it's on, it was on CNN's show.

 

329

00:13:29,605 --> 00:13:29,694

Mm-hmm.

 

330

00:13:29,935 --> 00:13:33,355

And I was so proud because I

discovered, I, because I'm a Jewish

 

331

00:13:33,355 --> 00:13:37,344

boy from Dallas, found out that the,

uh, the, the Jewish people had a, had

 

332

00:13:37,344 --> 00:13:39,324

a lot to do with flower tortillas.

 

333

00:13:39,415 --> 00:13:41,185

I'm like, I felt so proud for a moment.

 

334

00:13:41,605 --> 00:13:42,444

Mariana Treviño: Oh, that's great.

 

335

00:13:42,444 --> 00:13:43,795

Where In LA or in, oh,

 

336

00:13:43,795 --> 00:13:47,005

Marc Preston: no, no, no, because they

back, I don't know when, when they.

 

337

00:13:47,030 --> 00:13:48,230

First founded Monterey.

 

338

00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:48,560

Oh, okay.

 

339

00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:51,709

They were escaping the Monterey, uh,

Spanish in, uh, Spanish Inquisition.

 

340

00:13:51,770 --> 00:13:52,189

Mariana Treviño (2): Yes.

 

341

00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,740

Marc Preston: And they couldn't eat, you

know, for like Passover or something.

 

342

00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:55,459

The matza the bread.

 

343

00:13:55,459 --> 00:13:57,319

So they had to have a flat unleavened.

 

344

00:13:57,319 --> 00:13:58,160

So I, I think I love

 

345

00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:58,339

Mariana Treviño: that.

 

346

00:13:58,339 --> 00:14:04,100

And you know what, Monterey, the, the

first settlers were Sephardic, uh, Jewish.

 

347

00:14:04,105 --> 00:14:04,115

Mm-hmm.

 

348

00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:05,300

Settlers.

 

349

00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,939

And so a lot of the costumes stayed.

 

350

00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:14,030

And there's a lot of Jewish fam community,

a large C Jewish community, uh, of course.

 

351

00:14:14,030 --> 00:14:18,020

And the costumes, there's, there

are studies done, uh, uh, about

 

352

00:14:18,020 --> 00:14:23,390

that, about, you know, the types

of houses and, and what you said of

 

353

00:14:23,390 --> 00:14:24,949

the flour tortillas, grapes, right?

 

354

00:14:25,010 --> 00:14:26,090

No, I didn't know this.

 

355

00:14:26,090 --> 00:14:29,270

And all these little details

that are still going on in our.

 

356

00:14:29,690 --> 00:14:33,080

Daily life that come from,

from this Jewish route.

 

357

00:14:33,605 --> 00:14:34,605

Marc Preston: I ne I never knew that.

 

358

00:14:34,605 --> 00:14:38,480

Monte, I just knew I liked when I

came to I from the time I was seven,

 

359

00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,460

I came at Padre every single year.

 

360

00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:43,760

And if all my friends were, you

know, all the, all these, you know,

 

361

00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,540

rambunctious kids were all, you

know, from Texas and uh, Monterey.

 

362

00:14:47,540 --> 00:14:50,750

So we all would get together and go

stir up mischief and, you know, when,

 

363

00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:52,100

when's the last time you were down here?

 

364

00:14:52,290 --> 00:14:55,590

Mariana Treviño: Actually, um, we

were talking with our parents not

 

365

00:14:55,590 --> 00:15:00,690

long ago about going back because we

used to go a lot when we were kids.

 

366

00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,270

'cause my dad is from

a large Mexican family.

 

367

00:15:03,270 --> 00:15:04,770

Uhhuh there, there's seven brothers.

 

368

00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,220

Okay.

 

369

00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,980

And somehow when they were little,

uh, my, my grandfather bought a

 

370

00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:12,960

little house there in Padre Uhhuh.

 

371

00:15:12,966 --> 00:15:17,190

'cause they were traveling to Texas since

then and kind of go, they went shopping

 

372

00:15:17,190 --> 00:15:19,020

and they went and they bought a little.

 

373

00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:23,699

House that we would go to when we

were, we were small and we have so

 

374

00:15:23,699 --> 00:15:26,490

many memories from the sand dunes back.

 

375

00:15:26,490 --> 00:15:27,180

Oh yeah.

 

376

00:15:27,180 --> 00:15:28,110

And playing in the sand.

 

377

00:15:28,110 --> 00:15:28,560

Well, you, you drive

 

378

00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,905

Marc Preston: up north on the island

where the, where it's empty and it's just,

 

379

00:15:32,130 --> 00:15:35,819

Mariana Treviño: and the weeds and how

they smell and the very specific smell.

 

380

00:15:36,210 --> 00:15:41,130

And so it's just like a lot of happy

memories for us as a family there.

 

381

00:15:41,189 --> 00:15:44,010

And of course that house,

then they sold it, you know,

 

382

00:15:44,010 --> 00:15:45,000

the whole, the, the brothers.

 

383

00:15:46,065 --> 00:15:50,025

But we always wanna kind

of resist and go back.

 

384

00:15:50,025 --> 00:15:50,115

Mm-hmm.

 

385

00:15:50,295 --> 00:15:54,225

It was in Lantana Street and we

were, we haven't looked it in Google.

 

386

00:15:54,225 --> 00:15:55,695

We were like, Lantana.

 

387

00:15:55,695 --> 00:15:58,155

No, it's, there's no,

it's a little further

 

388

00:15:58,155 --> 00:15:59,475

Marc Preston: south of me here now.

 

389

00:15:59,475 --> 00:16:02,565

Now you got a Elon Musk

shooting off his SpaceX rockets.

 

390

00:16:02,565 --> 00:16:03,885

We was a couple days ago.

 

391

00:16:03,915 --> 00:16:05,895

It's the island's different,

but it's the same.

 

392

00:16:05,895 --> 00:16:07,125

I liked it when it was, uh, younger.

 

393

00:16:07,125 --> 00:16:08,115

It was kind of kitschy.

 

394

00:16:08,115 --> 00:16:11,115

It was a very, uh, it was a

fun place to be, you know?

 

395

00:16:11,115 --> 00:16:11,835

So yes, I.

 

396

00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:14,070

Mariana Treviño: You

 

397

00:16:14,070 --> 00:16:16,050

Marc Preston: know, next time you're

down here, we'll, we'll, we'll get you

 

398

00:16:16,050 --> 00:16:18,120

a nice frosty beverage at Black Beards.

 

399

00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,320

I don't know if you remember

Oh, I would love that.

 

400

00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:23,760

But going back to the show, I, I'm a

big fan of Owen Wilson, big fan of,

 

401

00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,440

I think Marc Maron always undersells.

 

402

00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,820

He's a, I think he's great.

 

403

00:16:27,270 --> 00:16:30,480

Um, the young man who plays your son, uh,

 

404

00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,320

Mariana Treviño: Peter Dagger

 

405

00:16:31,410 --> 00:16:33,810

Marc Preston: is, was there an easy

chemistry, you know, like, you know,

 

406

00:16:33,810 --> 00:16:34,800

like, I'm gonna be your mother.

 

407

00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,540

So is it like, you know, were you like.

 

408

00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:38,650

Putting 'em in timeout just

for, no, I'm just kidding.

 

409

00:16:38,979 --> 00:16:39,474

Um, but

 

410

00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:41,469

Mariana Treviño: timeout,

we're not speaking.

 

411

00:16:43,089 --> 00:16:44,709

Marc Preston: So how, how easy

was the chemistry when y'all

 

412

00:16:44,709 --> 00:16:45,969

got, you know, got on set?

 

413

00:16:45,969 --> 00:16:48,250

Was it, did it click or did it

take a moment to kinda warm up?

 

414

00:16:48,250 --> 00:16:48,430

Yeah,

 

415

00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:50,740

Mariana Treviño: it was really,

I know everybody says this all

 

416

00:16:50,740 --> 00:16:52,000

the time, like, it was so great.

 

417

00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,540

It was easy.

 

418

00:16:52,540 --> 00:16:57,594

But no, really, some experiences sometimes

are a little more awkward or as low.

 

419

00:16:58,285 --> 00:17:01,435

You know, slow kicking into

a connection or a bond.

 

420

00:17:01,435 --> 00:17:03,775

And it's part of, uh, it's normal.

 

421

00:17:03,835 --> 00:17:07,645

Like we're not the same with, with

everybody and people, you know,

 

422

00:17:07,645 --> 00:17:10,194

it's different bonds and that's

the beauty of the profession.

 

423

00:17:10,435 --> 00:17:13,675

But with Peter, it was so instant.

 

424

00:17:14,125 --> 00:17:14,785

Um.

 

425

00:17:15,855 --> 00:17:18,855

I arrived late to set

because I had my passport.

 

426

00:17:18,855 --> 00:17:22,485

I lost my passport right before the,

the trip, and I was panicking and

 

427

00:17:22,485 --> 00:17:23,625

I was like, I'm not gonna make it.

 

428

00:17:23,985 --> 00:17:28,185

So I made it miraculously

at the very last minute.

 

429

00:17:28,275 --> 00:17:32,625

And so when I got into the set and

I was all flustered and hurried

 

430

00:17:32,625 --> 00:17:36,855

and I'm like jumping into it and

Peter was there and I remember

 

431

00:17:36,855 --> 00:17:39,375

distinctly his face and he was like.

 

432

00:17:40,155 --> 00:17:46,185

Mommy, you know, he was so personable

and so sweet in the first beat and

 

433

00:17:46,185 --> 00:17:50,925

he gave me this really nice, um,

you know, welcome as well as Owen.

 

434

00:17:51,195 --> 00:17:52,245

Owen, everybody was.

 

435

00:17:52,770 --> 00:17:55,710

Everybody, you know, knew what was

happening that I was like running

 

436

00:17:55,710 --> 00:17:57,780

late and I was like in a rut.

 

437

00:17:57,785 --> 00:17:58,205

Mm-hmm.

 

438

00:17:58,290 --> 00:18:03,090

So Owen was so welcoming as well and

so sweet, you know, in his, in his

 

439

00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,260

first embrace and in his welcoming

and, and that, and that really

 

440

00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:09,030

sets the tone for the rest of the.

 

441

00:18:09,395 --> 00:18:11,885

Of the work of the months that,

that you Oh, ab absolutely.

 

442

00:18:11,885 --> 00:18:13,385

Marc Preston: You know,

I, I don't like spoilers.

 

443

00:18:13,385 --> 00:18:17,435

All I'm gonna say is that

this is the tone vibe.

 

444

00:18:17,615 --> 00:18:19,745

This is kind of a show we've

needed for a little bit.

 

445

00:18:19,745 --> 00:18:24,335

'cause it seems like there's a lot of

shows now that, uh, which are wonderful.

 

446

00:18:24,335 --> 00:18:26,705

They're fantastic, uh, uh, works.

 

447

00:18:26,705 --> 00:18:29,885

But like, uh, they're dystopian

or they're, you know, I'm

 

448

00:18:29,885 --> 00:18:31,145

like, we got enough of like.

 

449

00:18:31,535 --> 00:18:33,785

Like, you can turn on the news

and things are a little wonky.

 

450

00:18:33,785 --> 00:18:36,125

I want, I want something that's

gonna be a good vibes, you know?

 

451

00:18:36,155 --> 00:18:36,365

Yeah.

 

452

00:18:36,635 --> 00:18:39,665

Mariana Treviño: It, it's nice to have a

show that brings us back and draws us back

 

453

00:18:39,665 --> 00:18:46,355

to like, to our humanity, to our human

aspects that we sometimes disconnect from.

 

454

00:18:46,355 --> 00:18:46,385

I.

 

455

00:18:46,690 --> 00:18:49,090

Marc Preston: I gotta know the, the

experience of working with Marc Maron.

 

456

00:18:49,090 --> 00:18:50,500

'cause he's always self-deprecating.

 

457

00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,290

Uh, so he's, eh, not

that great of an actor.

 

458

00:18:53,290 --> 00:18:54,430

He is just kind of hacking at it.

 

459

00:18:54,430 --> 00:18:55,750

I think he's fantastic.

 

460

00:18:55,765 --> 00:18:56,895

He's f everything he does he a fantastic

 

461

00:18:56,895 --> 00:18:57,175

Mariana Treviño: actor.

 

462

00:18:57,175 --> 00:18:57,176

Yes.

 

463

00:18:57,550 --> 00:18:57,760

But

 

464

00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,070

Marc Preston: what, what was it like

kind of working with, with, with Marc?

 

465

00:19:00,310 --> 00:19:03,190

Mariana Treviño: Um, I think

it was, I, I think we really

 

466

00:19:03,190 --> 00:19:05,050

had a good, we we stroke it.

 

467

00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,500

Like it was really easy

too for some reason.

 

468

00:19:08,650 --> 00:19:12,010

I mean, we didn't struggle

as our characters struggle.

 

469

00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:15,100

Um, he was always very.

 

470

00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:18,810

Uh, like very gracious, very nice.

 

471

00:19:18,810 --> 00:19:21,175

You know, there was never, uh, an awkward.

 

472

00:19:22,110 --> 00:19:25,470

You know, a situation between us

meeting each other or everything.

 

473

00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:27,600

I love his sense of humor.

 

474

00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,320

On the contrary.

 

475

00:19:28,740 --> 00:19:31,110

Totally On the contrary,

I love his sense of humor.

 

476

00:19:31,650 --> 00:19:38,250

I love, uh, how, you know, how, how

quick he is and, and how honest he is.

 

477

00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:40,770

And it went perfectly with

mitts, with the character.

 

478

00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:41,340

Mariana Treviño (2): Yeah.

 

479

00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:44,880

Mariana Treviño: And um, and I just

thought it was really funny, you know,

 

480

00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,950

him inhabiting this character that.

 

481

00:19:47,310 --> 00:19:51,090

Seemingly is very similar

to who you know to, to him.

 

482

00:19:51,690 --> 00:19:52,020

Yeah.

 

483

00:19:52,110 --> 00:19:58,440

But he, he's, he's a, he's a really

nice man and smart man, and he really

 

484

00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,590

Marc Preston: seems like he's got,

he could be a, his persona is maybe

 

485

00:20:01,590 --> 00:20:04,470

somebody could be rough around the edges,

but he seems like a very good, like

 

486

00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:05,909

he's got a good, good heart, you know?

 

487

00:20:05,909 --> 00:20:07,591

Mariana Treviño: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

 

488

00:20:07,591 --> 00:20:09,179

He's, uh, plus he's got the whole,

and it's very much like mitts

 

489

00:20:09,179 --> 00:20:10,770

in the, in the, in the show.

 

490

00:20:10,830 --> 00:20:11,220

Right.

 

491

00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:13,169

Marc Preston: That's, that's the

direction I feel like we're going

 

492

00:20:13,169 --> 00:20:14,940

with him, but I'm, I'm, I'm, I was.

 

493

00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,639

I'm waiting to kinda watch my

daughter decide to go to bed early.

 

494

00:20:17,639 --> 00:20:17,730

Yes.

 

495

00:20:17,730 --> 00:20:19,050

So she's watching it with me.

 

496

00:20:19,050 --> 00:20:22,080

You know, Uhhuh giving me

her 19-year-old opinion.

 

497

00:20:22,409 --> 00:20:23,129

Mariana Treviño: He's so funny.

 

498

00:20:23,129 --> 00:20:25,560

By the way, MI, mit, Marc.

 

499

00:20:25,709 --> 00:20:26,429

So funny.

 

500

00:20:26,429 --> 00:20:27,629

And people love him.

 

501

00:20:27,629 --> 00:20:30,510

Like we went to the set and

everybody was like, Marc Maron.

 

502

00:20:30,510 --> 00:20:31,050

We're a fan.

 

503

00:20:31,050 --> 00:20:31,409

We're a fan.

 

504

00:20:31,409 --> 00:20:35,399

Because he is really, you

know, he's got his fandom.

 

505

00:20:35,399 --> 00:20:36,449

He's really funny.

 

506

00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,980

He writes his own stand.

 

507

00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:38,459

I mean, it's.

 

508

00:20:38,735 --> 00:20:39,544

It was really,

 

509

00:20:39,605 --> 00:20:42,455

Marc Preston: he's very good at this,

at the standup thing, but I, I just

 

510

00:20:42,455 --> 00:20:45,395

was always curious as like, when you're

just kind of hanging out with him, is he

 

511

00:20:45,485 --> 00:20:49,175

noticing things and commenting on things

and giving his own like little opinion?

 

512

00:20:49,175 --> 00:20:49,909

Yes, he is.

 

513

00:20:58,514 --> 00:21:01,260

We will tell you what, one of the things

I like to do with all my guests is

 

514

00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:02,879

something I call my seven questions.

 

515

00:21:02,879 --> 00:21:04,350

It's a little extra fun.

 

516

00:21:04,590 --> 00:21:06,720

And the first question,

I always gotta talk food.

 

517

00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,159

I'm so glad I've got you on 'cause I could

talk food from your neck of the woods.

 

518

00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:14,970

Uh, but what is your

favorite, uh, comfort food?

 

519

00:21:14,970 --> 00:21:18,095

That thing that, you know, like

it, if you're having a bad day, you

 

520

00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:19,530

just, it just makes you feel better.

 

521

00:21:19,530 --> 00:21:20,159

A good day.

 

522

00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:21,899

It just makes it even, even,

mm-hmm, even better day.

 

523

00:21:21,899 --> 00:21:23,010

What would that thing be for you?

 

524

00:21:24,180 --> 00:21:27,930

Mariana Treviño: I think up until now,

because that has changed because it

 

525

00:21:28,770 --> 00:21:34,050

needed to change, but for the longest

time it was just Los Mars in Mexico.

 

526

00:21:34,410 --> 00:21:39,330

The really in Mexico, you know,

that has Chile, like a lot of

 

527

00:21:39,330 --> 00:21:40,860

varieties of candy are just.

 

528

00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:43,740

Candy with chili is it

isn't that, isn't that

 

529

00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:46,770

Marc Preston: stuff they serve on a spoon

that's really sticky and you, you know.

 

530

00:21:46,770 --> 00:21:47,250

Yeah.

 

531

00:21:47,310 --> 00:21:51,240

Mariana Treviño: Le Chao, the Chile,

you know, there's like, oh, varieties.

 

532

00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,390

Just like, there's a lot of

varieties in Mexican food.

 

533

00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:56,220

Just with one element tortilla.

 

534

00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,060

Like tortilla.

 

535

00:21:57,060 --> 00:21:58,675

You can get like 20 different Variet.

 

536

00:21:58,855 --> 00:21:59,275

Mm-hmm.

 

537

00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:00,270

Different dishes.

 

538

00:22:00,450 --> 00:22:02,010

So it is with the taMarondo.

 

539

00:22:02,715 --> 00:22:03,165

With the chili.

 

540

00:22:03,629 --> 00:22:03,850

My,

 

541

00:22:03,855 --> 00:22:04,875

Marc Preston: my daughter

likes this thing.

 

542

00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:08,115

They always serve it on a spoon

and they wrap it with Saran wrap.

 

543

00:22:08,324 --> 00:22:08,475

Mariana Treviño: Yes.

 

544

00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:08,530

Uhhuh.

 

545

00:22:08,610 --> 00:22:08,810

And

 

546

00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:09,810

Marc Preston: it's, it's like, I

 

547

00:22:09,810 --> 00:22:10,770

Mariana Treviño: think

they're called Ches.

 

548

00:22:10,774 --> 00:22:11,175

I don't know.

 

549

00:22:12,345 --> 00:22:13,695

Marc Preston: And that

stuff's every, everywhere.

 

550

00:22:13,695 --> 00:22:16,695

Go in the grocery, have

all these different MOIs.

 

551

00:22:16,730 --> 00:22:17,010

I love that.

 

552

00:22:17,010 --> 00:22:17,129

Yeah.

 

553

00:22:17,149 --> 00:22:18,330

My, my daughter, they, I used

 

554

00:22:18,330 --> 00:22:20,264

Mariana Treviño: to eat that,

you know, in South Padre.

 

555

00:22:20,264 --> 00:22:24,915

I used to go to the seven 11 to

buy the Archie booklets, Uhhuh.

 

556

00:22:24,915 --> 00:22:25,514

And I would.

 

557

00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:31,010

We would travel with a big bag of tams

and that was my favorite combination,

 

558

00:22:31,399 --> 00:22:37,639

like the Archie booklets with the

Tams and some other, you know, things

 

559

00:22:37,639 --> 00:22:41,419

in Mexico, El Con Dorito, and some

other Mexican like comic strips.

 

560

00:22:41,930 --> 00:22:44,780

But that has been my comfort

food for a long time.

 

561

00:22:44,780 --> 00:22:45,740

Too long Really?

 

562

00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:46,700

Of the stomach.

 

563

00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,980

When you become an adult, you're like, no.

 

564

00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,090

Yeah,

 

565

00:22:50,425 --> 00:22:52,820

Marc Preston: I I, there are certain

things I eat and I'd go like, I don't

 

566

00:22:52,820 --> 00:22:56,090

feel nearly as good that, that's the

thing kids used to do on the island.

 

567

00:22:56,090 --> 00:22:57,800

You know, they just go walk to seven 11.

 

568

00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:58,160

Mariana Treviño: Yeah.

 

569

00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,600

Because the air conditioner was there

 

570

00:23:00,845 --> 00:23:04,705

Marc Preston: and it was like a little,

and your parents were like, leave repose.

 

571

00:23:04,775 --> 00:23:06,025

Just go do your thing today.

 

572

00:23:06,025 --> 00:23:06,625

Yeah, no.

 

573

00:23:07,010 --> 00:23:09,920

Mariana Treviño: You could repose and

be fresh and look at the magazines.

 

574

00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,190

Yeah.

 

575

00:23:10,830 --> 00:23:11,430

Marc Preston: Very nice.

 

576

00:23:11,460 --> 00:23:15,120

Well, the next question I have for you,

if you're gonna sit down for an hour or

 

577

00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:19,950

two or or an afternoon and have a coffee

with some, uh, with three people living

 

578

00:23:19,950 --> 00:23:21,660

or not, who would those three people be?

 

579

00:23:21,810 --> 00:23:23,790

Oh, my Who, like, so it could

be four of you at a table.

 

580

00:23:23,790 --> 00:23:26,640

Who would you like to sit down with

and just chat, uh, for a few hours?

 

581

00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:29,670

Mariana Treviño: Oh my God,

that's a hard, uh, question.

 

582

00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:30,480

It's so broad.

 

583

00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,050

I don't know.

 

584

00:23:31,230 --> 00:23:31,950

One of them.

 

585

00:23:32,910 --> 00:23:34,200

One of them for sure.

 

586

00:23:34,260 --> 00:23:36,030

George Elliot, the writer.

 

587

00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,400

I just love George Elliot.

 

588

00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,260

I love her, I love her novels.

 

589

00:23:40,830 --> 00:23:47,400

Um, I'm always waiting for time

to pass so I can reread them and I

 

590

00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:54,030

do cycles, so, um, yeah, I, yeah,

I love, I I would love to like.

 

591

00:23:54,975 --> 00:23:55,935

Sit down with her.

 

592

00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:57,405

We're both Marianne's too.

 

593

00:23:58,305 --> 00:24:01,065

When I discovered that we had

the same name, I was like, Hmm.

 

594

00:24:01,095 --> 00:24:03,105

There's a little affinity.

 

595

00:24:03,885 --> 00:24:07,575

But yeah, I'm, I'm a

admirer of her novels.

 

596

00:24:07,575 --> 00:24:08,985

George Elliot would be one.

 

597

00:24:09,465 --> 00:24:14,535

And, um, oh my, it's really, really hard.

 

598

00:24:15,315 --> 00:24:21,405

I think, um, Meryl Strip, I would

love, I would love, I admire her so

 

599

00:24:21,405 --> 00:24:26,325

much and she's so much fun and I would

love to be able to have that chance.

 

600

00:24:26,385 --> 00:24:32,055

And I guess Emiliano, I don't know if

he drank coffee, but whatever he drank,

 

601

00:24:33,255 --> 00:24:33,435

Mariana Treviño (2): we, you know,

 

602

00:24:34,485 --> 00:24:37,005

Mariana Treviño: I would have loved to.

 

603

00:24:37,260 --> 00:24:41,879

Have met him, not in battle, but on

his side, of course, of the meeting.

 

604

00:24:42,870 --> 00:24:44,970

Marc Preston: Going back to the food

real quick, I have to ask this 'cause

 

605

00:24:44,970 --> 00:24:48,960

you have a, a Mexican grandmother, a

couple of them, you know, what was,

 

606

00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,530

what was that thing growing up that the

grandmothers, you know, you, that was

 

607

00:24:52,530 --> 00:24:54,810

always like, okay, I know I'm home now.

 

608

00:24:54,815 --> 00:24:56,970

I I have to go back to the

food thing one thing, one time.

 

609

00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:57,300

Yeah.

 

610

00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:57,990

What would that be?

 

611

00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:58,290

So my

 

612

00:24:58,290 --> 00:25:01,500

Mariana Treviño: Mexican mother,

my, my, my father's mother that

 

613

00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:04,740

lived, um, on the back of our

house, we lived next to each other.

 

614

00:25:05,219 --> 00:25:08,939

She used to make these gorditas,

uh, similar to the flour

 

615

00:25:08,939 --> 00:25:10,080

tortilla that you were saying.

 

616

00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,139

It's also made of the same

material, I think, but it's hard

 

617

00:25:13,139 --> 00:25:14,879

and really flat and toasted.

 

618

00:25:15,659 --> 00:25:15,719

Wow.

 

619

00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:20,729

And so she used to make them with a

special recipe that nobody ever knew

 

620

00:25:22,379 --> 00:25:27,889

and, and we would eat it with a. Uh,

without ca and, and every time we went

 

621

00:25:27,889 --> 00:25:32,600

to her house to visit her, which was

very often, and she would do that for us

 

622

00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,120

Marc Preston: in, yeah, my, my

daughter's dating somebody with age

 

623

00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:39,169

and great, great-grandmother and

great-grandmother makes fresh Cho and,

 

624

00:25:39,169 --> 00:25:42,080

uh, yeah, I don't know how to feel

about the boy because he takes ketchup

 

625

00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,460

and squirts ketchup on everything.

 

626

00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:45,139

I'm like, oh, Theresa.

 

627

00:25:45,139 --> 00:25:47,629

I was like, so I was like, that's

the only issue I got with the boy.

 

628

00:25:47,870 --> 00:25:48,050

You know?

 

629

00:25:48,860 --> 00:25:51,560

Uh, the next question

I've got for you, uh.

 

630

00:25:51,875 --> 00:25:55,925

Who was your very first celebrity

crush when you were a young one?

 

631

00:25:58,205 --> 00:25:59,435

Mariana Treviño: I think I had two.

 

632

00:25:59,675 --> 00:26:00,140

Uh uh.

 

633

00:26:01,470 --> 00:26:06,030

In this culture I had in Mexico, I

had like from Ric and other bands

 

634

00:26:06,030 --> 00:26:08,190

and everything, but for here mm-hmm.

 

635

00:26:08,430 --> 00:26:11,310

I remember seeing in the

magazines, in the teen magazines

 

636

00:26:11,310 --> 00:26:13,139

that arrive in Mexico, you know?

 

637

00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:13,590

Oh yeah.

 

638

00:26:13,590 --> 00:26:13,710

Like

 

639

00:26:13,710 --> 00:26:14,909

Marc Preston: Tiger beats and all that.

 

640

00:26:14,909 --> 00:26:15,090

Yeah,

 

641

00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:16,020

Mariana Treviño: yeah.

 

642

00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:20,340

Uh, also in the seven elevens,

you see that was the place to go.

 

643

00:26:20,340 --> 00:26:21,060

Right, right, right.

 

644

00:26:21,450 --> 00:26:22,770

Those were like the hip.

 

645

00:26:23,399 --> 00:26:24,870

Did they still have video games when you

 

646

00:26:24,870 --> 00:26:25,260

Marc Preston: went there?

 

647

00:26:25,260 --> 00:26:27,600

Like, uh, you go there with some quarters?

 

648

00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:27,960

Yeah.

 

649

00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:28,770

Mariana Treviño: Yeah.

 

650

00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:30,210

And so I remember.

 

651

00:26:30,585 --> 00:26:33,915

Of course, being in love with

Sean Astin because of Goonies.

 

652

00:26:33,945 --> 00:26:37,485

I think that was like,

ah, I loved that movie.

 

653

00:26:37,485 --> 00:26:39,285

Of course, it's still one of my favorites.

 

654

00:26:39,285 --> 00:26:42,315

And Sean Astin was amazing and

I was really in love with him.

 

655

00:26:42,855 --> 00:26:48,435

Um, I am, I, I, I think I even

once left with, I took a picture

 

656

00:26:48,435 --> 00:26:50,505

of him and I slept with a picture

 

657

00:26:51,345 --> 00:26:51,615

Mariana Treviño (2): underneath

 

658

00:26:51,615 --> 00:26:52,125

Mariana Treviño: my pillow.

 

659

00:26:52,125 --> 00:26:53,955

I was like, let him be, be close to me.

 

660

00:26:53,955 --> 00:26:55,065

I think I remember that.

 

661

00:26:55,245 --> 00:26:56,805

And also River Phoenix.

 

662

00:26:57,495 --> 00:26:58,065

Marc Preston: Oh yeah.

 

663

00:26:58,070 --> 00:26:58,210

Okay.

 

664

00:26:58,360 --> 00:26:58,650

Okay.

 

665

00:26:59,190 --> 00:27:02,490

So, so you were, you were a typical

teenager of the age and, you know,

 

666

00:27:02,490 --> 00:27:03,270

oh, no, I can't tell you this

 

667

00:27:03,275 --> 00:27:05,010

Mariana Treviño: because

it's a spoiler, but yeah.

 

668

00:27:05,010 --> 00:27:05,580

Uh, okay.

 

669

00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,475

Yeah, we'll talk later when we're time.

 

670

00:27:08,695 --> 00:27:09,115

Marc Preston: I'm very good.

 

671

00:27:09,115 --> 00:27:09,395

We'll

 

672

00:27:09,395 --> 00:27:09,995

Mariana Treviño: touch upon this.

 

673

00:27:10,585 --> 00:27:13,110

Marc Preston: Well, now, if you're

gonna live on an exotic island, uh,

 

674

00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:16,680

for a year, uh, and it's somewhere

you want to be, somewhere really nice,

 

675

00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,390

but you, you don't have any streaming.

 

676

00:27:18,390 --> 00:27:21,510

So if you wanna listen to music,

you gotta bring a, a CD with you.

 

677

00:27:21,515 --> 00:27:21,875

Mariana Treviño (2): Mm-hmm.

 

678

00:27:22,015 --> 00:27:22,236

And a

 

679

00:27:22,241 --> 00:27:23,640

Marc Preston: movie,

you gotta bring a dvd.

 

680

00:27:23,735 --> 00:27:25,955

Something you'd listen to all

year long and something you

 

681

00:27:25,955 --> 00:27:27,635

could watch over and over again.

 

682

00:27:27,935 --> 00:27:29,405

What would that CD be

and what would that do?

 

683

00:27:29,405 --> 00:27:29,495

Um,

 

684

00:27:30,485 --> 00:27:34,294

Mariana Treviño: oh my

God, that's a hard one too.

 

685

00:27:35,689 --> 00:27:35,909

Um.

 

686

00:27:38,925 --> 00:27:44,085

I don't know, CDs, uh, D CDs,

it's, it's been a long time since

 

687

00:27:44,085 --> 00:27:47,955

I, you know, but at some point

in my life, they were everything.

 

688

00:27:47,955 --> 00:27:50,715

I kept them in my truck to

keep, you know, in my thingy.

 

689

00:27:51,195 --> 00:27:51,314

Mm-hmm.

 

690

00:27:51,675 --> 00:27:53,625

They were like my most priced possession.

 

691

00:27:54,105 --> 00:27:58,004

Um, I, I, I, I don't know.

 

692

00:27:58,695 --> 00:27:59,955

I really, I, I really don't know.

 

693

00:28:00,195 --> 00:28:02,024

Maybe, maybe something.

 

694

00:28:02,625 --> 00:28:04,185

From Blues.

 

695

00:28:04,185 --> 00:28:05,655

I always loved blues.

 

696

00:28:05,685 --> 00:28:05,715

Okay.

 

697

00:28:06,495 --> 00:28:08,685

I always loved country as well.

 

698

00:28:08,685 --> 00:28:09,705

Country music.

 

699

00:28:10,215 --> 00:28:11,565

Um, I, I loved it.

 

700

00:28:11,565 --> 00:28:18,165

And of course, um, the sublime

Mexican, like Los Panchos, the trios.

 

701

00:28:18,165 --> 00:28:18,855

Mariana Treviño (2): Mm-hmm.

 

702

00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:19,139

Mariana Treviño: Um.

 

703

00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:21,660

Music from Los Pancho.

 

704

00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:22,260

Los.

 

705

00:28:25,020 --> 00:28:30,420

You know, when I was living in New

York, I remember finding a city of Louis

 

706

00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:35,430

Miguel in one of the stores randomly,

and I remember that city of Louis Miguel

 

707

00:28:35,430 --> 00:28:40,440

became like my homeland for the time

that when I was living there for the four

 

708

00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,020

years, I heard it over and over again.

 

709

00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,660

And Luis Miguel, when he was

starting in the eighties, and

 

710

00:28:45,660 --> 00:28:47,310

then when he sung the Boleros.

 

711

00:28:47,820 --> 00:28:51,210

And the Boleros would be

lovely to listen to as well.

 

712

00:28:51,210 --> 00:28:51,780

In an island.

 

713

00:28:51,794 --> 00:28:56,340

I, I, I don't know, uh, there's

an ample possibility of options.

 

714

00:28:56,429 --> 00:28:58,649

Marc Preston: We'll get you a box

set, you know, of all your, yeah.

 

715

00:28:58,649 --> 00:28:59,129

So I have

 

716

00:28:59,129 --> 00:29:01,260

Mariana Treviño: a little

bit more of a possibility.

 

717

00:29:01,679 --> 00:29:04,620

Marc Preston: Well, is there a movie

that you can watch over and over again?

 

718

00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:07,980

You say like, you know, it's, it, whatever

comes on tv, you'll just watch it, you

 

719

00:29:07,980 --> 00:29:11,460

know, something you could bring the,

and is there anything like that for you?

 

720

00:29:12,045 --> 00:29:14,745

Mariana Treviño: I remember, uh,

now that we're speaking about Texas,

 

721

00:29:14,745 --> 00:29:20,055

that when I saw Paris, Texas was

like, uh, an instant favorite.

 

722

00:29:20,385 --> 00:29:20,475

Mariana Treviño (2): Mm-hmm.

 

723

00:29:20,715 --> 00:29:24,555

Mariana Treviño: Just, just in my, in

my mind, in my imaginary, it kind of

 

724

00:29:24,555 --> 00:29:26,390

stayed there, you know, floating around.

 

725

00:29:27,210 --> 00:29:27,430

Um.

 

726

00:29:28,570 --> 00:29:32,110

I thought, I thought that, you know,

it was just such a beautiful film and

 

727

00:29:32,110 --> 00:29:37,810

the performances were so compelling

and so mysterious and so desertic just

 

728

00:29:37,810 --> 00:29:41,469

like the landscape, you know, that we

have in common in Texas and Mexico.

 

729

00:29:41,469 --> 00:29:42,370

It's like, right.

 

730

00:29:42,429 --> 00:29:43,719

Like the same land.

 

731

00:29:44,139 --> 00:29:45,699

So, um,

 

732

00:29:45,820 --> 00:29:47,860

Marc Preston: but you have all

those mountains, which is beautiful.

 

733

00:29:47,860 --> 00:29:48,100

Yeah.

 

734

00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:48,699

Monterey.

 

735

00:29:48,699 --> 00:29:50,500

Mariana Treviño: Monterey

has like this beautiful blue.

 

736

00:29:51,055 --> 00:29:54,775

Green mountains that are

just like so jaw dropping.

 

737

00:29:54,870 --> 00:29:54,990

I,

 

738

00:29:55,135 --> 00:29:55,915

Marc Preston: I, you know, but it's still

 

739

00:29:55,915 --> 00:29:56,575

Mariana Treviño: desert.

 

740

00:29:56,575 --> 00:29:57,115

It's still

 

741

00:29:57,115 --> 00:29:57,655

Marc Preston: deserted.

 

742

00:29:57,685 --> 00:29:58,165

Oh, really?

 

743

00:29:58,165 --> 00:29:58,525

Really?

 

744

00:29:58,525 --> 00:29:58,825

Okay.

 

745

00:29:58,830 --> 00:29:59,030

Yeah.

 

746

00:29:59,030 --> 00:29:59,270

Well,

 

747

00:29:59,455 --> 00:29:59,665

Mariana Treviño: yeah.

 

748

00:29:59,665 --> 00:29:59,875

Yeah.

 

749

00:29:59,875 --> 00:30:05,185

It's still like, yeah, the dusty roads

and just like a desert, just like in

 

750

00:30:05,185 --> 00:30:07,165

Baja that there's the sea and the desert.

 

751

00:30:07,165 --> 00:30:07,225

Yeah.

 

752

00:30:07,675 --> 00:30:08,005

Very.

 

753

00:30:08,375 --> 00:30:12,125

Crazy combination and it creates

a very strange magnetism.

 

754

00:30:12,125 --> 00:30:15,755

And the characters of the people

there are very specific because of it.

 

755

00:30:16,085 --> 00:30:19,595

In Mexico, I think we do have the

combination of desert and mountain

 

756

00:30:19,595 --> 00:30:22,115

as you just said it, and it creates.

 

757

00:30:22,115 --> 00:30:22,745

Yes.

 

758

00:30:22,805 --> 00:30:24,995

Marc Preston: Now, if you were not

doing this for a living, on the next

 

759

00:30:24,995 --> 00:30:26,135

question, what would you be doing?

 

760

00:30:26,135 --> 00:30:30,305

What would be a good number two, another

job or a vocation for you that would

 

761

00:30:30,305 --> 00:30:32,945

bring you joy besides, uh, acting?

 

762

00:30:32,945 --> 00:30:33,665

What would that be?

 

763

00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:34,145

Mariana Treviño: Hmm.

 

764

00:30:35,435 --> 00:30:37,505

Um, I mean.

 

765

00:30:40,365 --> 00:30:43,155

I mean, I, I love, uh, I like meditating.

 

766

00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:48,255

I think I could do the, that as my

lifestyle, you know what I mean?

 

767

00:30:48,255 --> 00:30:49,005

Like as a, mm-hmm.

 

768

00:30:49,245 --> 00:30:50,835

More of a full-time thing.

 

769

00:30:50,865 --> 00:30:55,845

I could see myself doing that

further on in the path of my life.

 

770

00:30:56,295 --> 00:31:02,150

Um, I think that I. For example, being a

painter at some point when I was younger,

 

771

00:31:02,150 --> 00:31:04,400

I started painting and, and I left it.

 

772

00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,040

My grandfather, my maternal

grandfather was a painter.

 

773

00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:09,950

My Argentinian grandfather,

he was a cartoonist.

 

774

00:31:10,340 --> 00:31:10,550

Mariana Treviño (2): Really?

 

775

00:31:11,270 --> 00:31:11,600

Mariana Treviño: Traitor.

 

776

00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:11,900

Yeah.

 

777

00:31:11,900 --> 00:31:12,740

And a painter.

 

778

00:31:12,950 --> 00:31:13,760

Really good one.

 

779

00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:19,280

And, and I always had that, uh, with

him, that like a little connection.

 

780

00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:20,450

And I, I dropped it.

 

781

00:31:20,450 --> 00:31:21,680

I never picked it up again.

 

782

00:31:21,830 --> 00:31:25,670

But I think it's a great

profession because it's also like.

 

783

00:31:26,445 --> 00:31:30,315

You don't need much, but you and the,

the contents of your soul and the

 

784

00:31:30,315 --> 00:31:32,930

perceptions of, you know, and, um.

 

785

00:31:33,629 --> 00:31:35,850

You want this dialogue

with the canvas and I, so

 

786

00:31:35,850 --> 00:31:38,070

Marc Preston: you want to, you

know, to create and express as

 

787

00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:40,230

long as you can do that, that

would, that would make you happy.

 

788

00:31:40,410 --> 00:31:40,590

Mariana Treviño (2): Yeah.

 

789

00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:41,070

Marc Preston: Very good.

 

790

00:31:41,070 --> 00:31:41,490

Very good.

 

791

00:31:41,610 --> 00:31:44,400

Well, the last question I got for

you, if you were to travel back in

 

792

00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,730

time, you got that DeLorean and you're

traveling back when you're 16 years

 

793

00:31:47,730 --> 00:31:51,480

old and you got a piece of advice

for yourself for 16-year-old, you,

 

794

00:31:51,660 --> 00:31:53,220

what would that piece of advice be?

 

795

00:31:53,220 --> 00:31:56,160

And I always say maybe it's just you

wanna make that moment better in your

 

796

00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,980

life, or maybe you wanna put yourself

on a little bit different track.

 

797

00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,470

What would that, what would

you tell 16-year-old you?

 

798

00:32:03,210 --> 00:32:04,050

Mariana Treviño: Hmm.

 

799

00:32:04,890 --> 00:32:12,690

I would, I would tell myself, um,

never, you know, like, like have the

 

800

00:32:12,690 --> 00:32:15,000

confidence in yourself to keep going.

 

801

00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,150

Always, you know, um, sometimes when

you're at 16, very much like Santi is

 

802

00:32:21,150 --> 00:32:23,190

in the show, it's a very tough time.

 

803

00:32:23,190 --> 00:32:23,280

Mm-hmm.

 

804

00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,420

And you know, like there's a lot of

vulnerability in that moment in life.

 

805

00:32:27,420 --> 00:32:30,690

Like, you want to go out in the

world, you think you're an adult.

 

806

00:32:31,260 --> 00:32:34,230

You have the impetu of an adult and

you think you wanna go out and eat

 

807

00:32:34,230 --> 00:32:38,850

the world up, but you go through

experiences that are very trying

 

808

00:32:38,850 --> 00:32:40,830

because it's like you're coming of age.

 

809

00:32:40,835 --> 00:32:43,440

You, you know, you're

crossing the threshold into,

 

810

00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,390

Marc Preston: and

everything's big and dramatic.

 

811

00:32:45,390 --> 00:32:45,660

Yeah.

 

812

00:32:45,660 --> 00:32:46,050

Mariana Treviño: Yes.

 

813

00:32:46,050 --> 00:32:50,490

And, and, and things, strong things

can happen and you don't have the.

 

814

00:32:51,060 --> 00:32:55,320

The, um, tools, internal tools

to deal with it sometimes.

 

815

00:32:55,710 --> 00:33:01,139

And um, and I would just tell myself

like, don't let yourself down.

 

816

00:33:01,139 --> 00:33:02,970

Don't lose confidence in yourself.

 

817

00:33:02,970 --> 00:33:05,940

No matter what happens,

you're gonna be able to handle

 

818

00:33:05,970 --> 00:33:07,409

everything that comes your way.

 

819

00:33:07,409 --> 00:33:07,889

Mm-hmm.

 

820

00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:08,610

Um.

 

821

00:33:09,150 --> 00:33:11,190

Just keep going, keep going.

 

822

00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:11,820

Never stop.

 

823

00:33:11,820 --> 00:33:14,580

Because that's what we have

to do in life, you know?

 

824

00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,630

I mean, that's one thing

 

825

00:33:15,630 --> 00:33:18,390

Marc Preston: I like about his

character's name is Santi, right?

 

826

00:33:18,390 --> 00:33:19,290

Is that how you say his name?

 

827

00:33:19,415 --> 00:33:19,765

Mariana Treviño: Santi.

 

828

00:33:19,765 --> 00:33:20,005

Yeah,

 

829

00:33:20,130 --> 00:33:20,550

Marc Preston: Santi.

 

830

00:33:20,820 --> 00:33:24,390

He did seem like he, he maintained what,

what teenager would be, you know, here's

 

831

00:33:24,390 --> 00:33:26,070

a guy that could play golf really well.

 

832

00:33:26,070 --> 00:33:29,100

He is a little bit of a phenom,

but he's still a teenager, you

 

833

00:33:29,100 --> 00:33:30,270

know, he is still a teenager with,

 

834

00:33:30,510 --> 00:33:32,460

Mariana Treviño: and, and it's

like they really want their

 

835

00:33:32,460 --> 00:33:33,690

parents to take care of them.

 

836

00:33:33,690 --> 00:33:34,380

At that age.

 

837

00:33:34,620 --> 00:33:37,770

You wouldn't, they don't know

that, but the parents know that.

 

838

00:33:38,085 --> 00:33:42,135

Teams, they're like, they still

need their parents, you know, at

 

839

00:33:42,135 --> 00:33:44,385

that age, even if they play big.

 

840

00:33:44,655 --> 00:33:45,015

Marc Preston: Yeah.

 

841

00:33:45,015 --> 00:33:48,105

And as a parent, you kinda want them

to feel the same way at 40, you know?

 

842

00:33:48,105 --> 00:33:49,695

It's kind of like a Yes,

 

843

00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:50,145

Mariana Treviño: exactly.

 

844

00:33:50,150 --> 00:33:51,570

We were talking about that the other day.

 

845

00:33:51,570 --> 00:33:51,891

We're like, oh,

 

846

00:33:52,425 --> 00:33:54,495

Marc Preston: Mariana, it's

been more than a treat.

 

847

00:33:54,495 --> 00:33:56,655

Next time you're in

South Padre, look me up.

 

848

00:33:56,655 --> 00:33:58,850

There's the OG favorite,

which is Black beards.

 

849

00:33:58,930 --> 00:34:01,635

I mean, you cannot come to South

Padre without gonna black beards.

 

850

00:34:01,635 --> 00:34:05,025

That's uh, or or seven 11 with some

quarters, you know, or you know.

 

851

00:34:06,145 --> 00:34:06,655

Mariana Treviño: But,

 

852

00:34:06,655 --> 00:34:08,364

Marc Preston: uh, but best of luck too.

 

853

00:34:08,545 --> 00:34:08,695

There's a

 

854

00:34:08,695 --> 00:34:09,775

Mariana Treviño: little golf course.

 

855

00:34:10,014 --> 00:34:14,094

There was all elto, there was a little

golf course that everybody went to.

 

856

00:34:14,455 --> 00:34:16,645

Marc Preston: It was like a

little, little, uh, dome ball,

Marc Preston: they just tore it down.

00:34:20,094 --> 00:34:21,025

They just tore.

 

860

00:34:21,025 --> 00:34:21,235

That

 

861

00:34:21,235 --> 00:34:22,284

Mariana Treviño: was beautiful.

 

862

00:34:22,284 --> 00:34:24,085

It was like little dome ball and they,

 

863

00:34:24,085 --> 00:34:26,545

Marc Preston: we used to go play

golf there and then we go to seven

 

864

00:34:26,545 --> 00:34:28,764

11 and get our slushy things and

 

865

00:34:29,304 --> 00:34:29,574

Mariana Treviño: Exactly.

 

866

00:34:31,315 --> 00:34:33,625
