1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to when you know, you know, Unleashed, the show

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,280
where nothing's off limits because out here there's no FCC

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,359
breathing down on next the first guest actually lived through

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,480
something different. She didn't choose the spotlight. The spotlight found her,

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,280
and it nearly burned her alive. Her name became a

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,000
headline before anyone bothered to ask her what actually happened.

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,640
She's known for being part of one of the biggest

8
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:26,359
sports celebrity scandals of all time. I'm talking about Rachel,

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,960
you could tell. So Welcome to the podcast. Rachel. So

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,640
great to see you, my friend. It has been let's

11
00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:35,479
just say, it's been more than a day. You have

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,880
an age, not one bit. I do want to ask

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,520
you something because you and I share something very very similar,

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,200
and that's being thrust into public light, and interestingly enough,

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,399
because nobody prepares you for waking up one morning finding

16
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:53,000
out that the whole world has an opinion about you

17
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:56,719
and your life. Take me back to that moment when

18
00:00:56,719 --> 00:01:00,640
you realize that your name was about to become a headline.

19
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:04,280
You remember when that happened? Unfortunately to me, Yeah, what

20
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:07,439
was going through your head in those first twenty four

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,680
hours and what did you feel emotionally and even physically

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,560
at that time.

23
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:16,519
Speaker 2: So, first of all, Michael, I want to thank you

24
00:01:16,599 --> 00:01:18,959
for having me on your show. Obviously, we've known each

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,040
other for a long time. We've been in and out

26
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:23,280
of each other's lives a little bit, and I'm so

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,599
happy to see you where you are now, and it's

28
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:29,239
an honor to be on your show to answer your question.

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,359
I remember that twenty four hours and I remember that

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,599
moment really vividly when essentially to put a caption on it,

31
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:41,079
it was when I knew that my life was about

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,680
to change and the person that I was up until

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,680
that point would sort of no longer exist.

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,719
Speaker 3: My name was.

35
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,719
Speaker 2: Going to precede me in any room, that people were

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,640
going to think that they knew me, and they wouldn't

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,799
know the whole story, and it was terrifying. So it

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,519
was around Thanksgiving of two thousand and and now when

39
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:05,959
all of a sudden, the news started to report that

40
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:11,479
Tiger Woods was in an accident, and I'll never forget

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,360
getting a phone call a couple hours later from a

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,319
reporter saying, I just want to let you know that

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,960
the paparazzi is descending upon your apartment right now. If

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,360
you want to say something, you should say it right now,

45
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:27,120
because otherwise we're going to say it for you. And

46
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:29,680
I hung up the phone. I was by myself, and

47
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:34,479
I remember panicking. I remember the feeling of my stomach

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,159
going in my throat of.

49
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: Not knowing what to do but almost floating.

50
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: As well as panicking because I was like, what does

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,280
this mean? You know, I didn't understand the gravity of it.

52
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,800
I didn't understand how big that story was going to be,

53
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:53,439
and I just knew that I was about to be

54
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:58,120
under attack, and I felt like this fight or flight mode,

55
00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:00,919
and I mean, it's you know, we could talk for

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,039
many hours about that, twenty four hours.

57
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:06,479
Speaker 1: And we actually have. We actually have talked for many

58
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:07,240
hours about it.

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have.

60
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: But the biggest thing that I remember is just feeling

61
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,479
like I was completely alone, Like I was scared to

62
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:18,280
death of what this meant in terms of everything I

63
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:22,719
had created up until that point. And I was scared

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,120
about how to react to people I knew and who

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,439
are acquaintances, and then people that didn't know me, because,

66
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,520
as you probably know, everyone wanted to be part of

67
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,159
that story, right Everyone wants to say they know me

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,719
they have some story to tell, and I could would

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,680
read those things and I would say, how could they

70
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:40,080
say that?

71
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,479
Speaker 3: How did they get that information? That's not even true.

72
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: Those people didn't even know me, And that was the

73
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:46,840
thing that I had to wrestle with for many years,

74
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:50,439
because part of the story is like you become a headline,

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,120
but you're no longer a person, And to grapple with

76
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:56,520
it with friends was different than obviously people that didn't

77
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,280
know me. Yeah, I even had to deal with that

78
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,360
with friends, because it was a moment where I realized that,

79
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,199
you know, I really had to look within and figure

80
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,039
out who I was as a person and what friends

81
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:09,280
I wanted to keep in my life.

82
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this then, because looking back,

83
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:15,000
obviously you knew that you were going to be dating

84
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,959
a celebrity. You knew that, of course Tiger was married.

85
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Were you ready to be publicly scrutinized if they found

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,399
that out, because it's not like he was an unknown

87
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:27,759
And let me ask you another part to that question,

88
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:32,040
what would you tell you yourself in that exact moment when

89
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,399
the two of you had met and decided to see

90
00:04:35,439 --> 00:04:38,279
one another. If you can go back in time right now,

91
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,079
a lot of people ask me that question as it

92
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,040
relates to President Trump. Is there anything that you would

93
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,399
have done differently? You know, not to avoid the situation,

94
00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:49,240
but more to survive it better.

95
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a hard question because I will tell

96
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:55,759
you that I know I went back in time. Would

97
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,920
I do things differently? Know, because I didn't know any better.

98
00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:00,600
A lot of the lessons you learn as you go

99
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,279
through life, as you have to go through things.

100
00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:04,399
Speaker 1: But if you can go back in time now, knowing

101
00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:07,399
what you know, would you do something differently? Oh?

102
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. I mean I would do plenty of

103
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:12,480
things differently. But at the same time, I will say that,

104
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,600
you know, I haven't. There's a lot of things that

105
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:17,439
we all know now. There's a lot of stories that

106
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,120
have come out. I personally have spoken I did the

107
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,480
HBO documentary.

108
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,759
Speaker 3: I really only talked.

109
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: About stuff that was A lot of it that I

110
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:28,439
spoke about was out in public. There's a lot of

111
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:30,680
parts of the story that I haven't talked about. But

112
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,000
what I will say is that, of course I regret

113
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,959
being the other woman in a marriage. I would never

114
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,199
do that now, I get I talked to listen. Cheating

115
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:43,279
on your spouse is like a common thing these days.

116
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:44,959
You kind of see it. People do it all the time.

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,240
It's not it seems like it's not that big of

118
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,839
a deal because everyone talks about it and there aren't

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,120
consequences like there were back in the day with such

120
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,000
a big story.

121
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: I would never do that.

122
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:59,319
Speaker 2: I don't associate with those kind of people or scenarios.

123
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,920
I don't get involve. I don't condone it, but I

124
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,839
understand it. I understand.

125
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:04,639
Speaker 3: Listen.

126
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: I met Tiger through Derek Jeter, and I met Tiger

127
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,480
when he was dating other people.

128
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: So I was in a world and that I don't.

129
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: Want to get myself in trouble here, But like I

130
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,519
was in a world of running nightclubs.

131
00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember that.

132
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,199
Speaker 2: So I ran tow in Las Vegas and then eighteen

133
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:25,079
other places were places where I was the director of

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,519
VIP operations. I only dealt with high rollers or celebrities,

135
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,959
and I was their gatekeeper and their wing woman.

136
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:32,639
Speaker 3: Would I do it again?

137
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was an amazing job.

138
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:35,519
Speaker 3: It was.

139
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: You know, people ask me that. The reason I'm asking

140
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,319
this question is because people ask me all the time.

141
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:43,759
Knowing what you know and what happened to you meaning

142
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:51,480
the total destruction of my life. Would you do something

143
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:54,519
different as it, for example, related to the payment to

144
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,600
Stormy Daniels And I constantly say no, I would not.

145
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,439
I would not do anything different. I understand the consequences

146
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,079
I do, but I knew what I was doing in

147
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:09,319
terms of an NDA, something a nondisclosure agreement, something that

148
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:13,800
is done routinely. The only difference, the only one difference

149
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,199
which caused me to ultimately be charged federally under campaign

150
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:23,199
finance is the fact that Donald J. Trump became President

151
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:26,480
of the United States. So no, I would not have

152
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:29,920
done anything different to protect a friend, which sort of

153
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,600
brings me to a different question, because there is a

154
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:39,319
difference between being talked about and being misrepresented. You were misrepresented.

155
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:43,560
I believe I was misrepresented literally going from the Steele

156
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,000
dossier all the way to the end. How much of

157
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,480
what the world thought that it knew about you was

158
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:52,040
actually true?

159
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think the biggest misconception is that

160
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,519
they think they knew me because of a headline, and

161
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,720
that just wasn't true. Listen, Obviously I was involved in,

162
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:06,439
you know, in a relationship with somebody, and that was true.

163
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:09,079
Speaker 1: But who who was married you who was married and

164
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:09,600
you were not.

165
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,079
Speaker 2: Right who was married and I was not, But I don't.

166
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,160
I also want to be very clear, like I'm not

167
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:16,519
a victim in any situation.

168
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: I did something that I do feel bad about, but.

169
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: At the same time, I have reconciled, I've done the

170
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:23,920
work to know that the only person I needed to

171
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:27,519
apologize to was the wife, and that is who I

172
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,959
owed my apology to and who I've learned a lesson.

173
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,600
So to go back to your first question of if

174
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,799
I would ever do it again, I would not do

175
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:36,440
that again. I would not be another woman again. But

176
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,519
the other things that I did to survive that scenario

177
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,879
I had to learn and get through to live my

178
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:44,799
life and be who I am now. I'm very proud

179
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,639
of the person I am now. I'm very proud of

180
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:49,960
those situations. So like you, you know, I know the

181
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,799
situation you went through. I actually and I think we've

182
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,039
talked about this. You know, Stormy with somebody I knew

183
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:58,440
in Las Vegas, and she contacted me right after she

184
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:02,440
was with mister Truck, and you know, she wanted to

185
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,240
sell that story years before, and so I understood the

186
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,879
whole thing that was going on. You know, and you're right,

187
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,919
because you became president is how this.

188
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 3: All got us into a situation.

189
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: But this is things that we were all dealing with

190
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:17,240
and we all kind of surrounded ourselves with back in

191
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:20,639
the day, and it wasn't a big deal. So now

192
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,639
I'm forgetting the question you just asked me at the

193
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,120
end of there.

194
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,159
Speaker 1: Well, let me change it a little bit and ask you,

195
00:09:27,639 --> 00:09:31,480
did you ever try to correct the record? Because there

196
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,759
was much information that was being said about you that

197
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,519
was inaccurate. Yeah, did you ever try to correct the record?

198
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,720
And more importantly, what do you want right now? Using

199
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:46,200
this massive platform that we have right here on WABC

200
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,879
with my when you know, you know, unleashed, what do

201
00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:52,879
you want them to know about? Like the person who

202
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,480
I know, the Rachel you could tell that I know

203
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:56,840
who you really are.

204
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen. The thing is is it's very

205
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,240
complicated because I spent years trying to correct the record.

206
00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:07,559
The problem was is I had a thirty five page NDA,

207
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,639
and part of that NDA was not even acknowledging that

208
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,799
I had anything to do with this person or the situation,

209
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,200
and the cuffing of that, the clamping of being able

210
00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:21,159
to verbalize that saying listen, I'm not even allowed to

211
00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:23,759
talk about that. That was breaking the NDA. So a

212
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:25,879
huge part of my story that a lot of people

213
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,519
don't realize is that this misconception that came with me,

214
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,840
all these terrible words of you know, homewrecker and mistress

215
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,039
and whore and whatever people wanted to name the woman

216
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,240
right was so not who I was. And not only

217
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,159
could I just not defend myself, I couldn't even correct

218
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,960
the truth of what happened. And that has been the

219
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,480
worst thing. And I you know, I get very heavily

220
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:51,240
involved in conversations that have to do with NDAs because

221
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,759
people really don't understand them. And I believe that they

222
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,279
serve a purpose and there is a good reason for some,

223
00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:00,240
but I do think, for example, the one that I

224
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,840
signed as a young woman, that thought, oh, this payment

225
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,120
is going to be like, you know, a scarlet letter.

226
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:08,559
This is what is worth the scarlet letter that I'm

227
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,960
going to have to live with, became the problem that

228
00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:12,399
I had.

229
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:12,919
Speaker 3: In general.

230
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,759
Speaker 2: It was worse than the situation because it prevented me

231
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,600
from being able to get my credibility back. And the credibility,

232
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:23,159
as you know, is a thing that is so damaging.

233
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,279
And when you turn your lights off a night and

234
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:26,679
you go to sleep and you put your head on

235
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,919
the pillow, Michael, you know that all those things are

236
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:31,480
going through your head and you want to explain yourself.

237
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,080
But when you have an NDA, you cannot, not even

238
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,720
to my mother, not to a friend, not to a husband,

239
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:38,960
I couldn't racion.

240
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,759
Speaker 1: You want to hear something really funny. You know the

241
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:44,000
NDA that I did would Stormy Daniels. You know that

242
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,440
I patterned it after the NTA that Tiger had given

243
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:51,240
to you, with the pseudonyms and so on. I thought

244
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:53,559
it was actually brilliant, right, and to have a side

245
00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:57,320
letter whereby you can use it when I read about

246
00:11:57,399 --> 00:12:00,519
the NDA, and so I just like, hey, this is

247
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:04,399
really a great idea in terms of how to do it,

248
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,639
because you don't want a document floating around out there

249
00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:10,840
that maybe somebody gets their hand on. So there's only

250
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:14,480
that one paid pseudonym explanation. But I actually want to

251
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:18,279
finish by asking you because you very much like a

252
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:22,879
Monica Lewinsky story where her life was defined by a

253
00:12:23,039 --> 00:12:29,159
single moment. A single moment. People don't know the real Rachel.

254
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,399
You could tell they didn't know all the accomplishments that

255
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,799
you had in your job, and all of the incredible

256
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:38,200
people that you had a chance to meet and to

257
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,000
help and to do things for. I want you to

258
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:46,840
finish by telling the audience what's one piece of advice

259
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,440
that you rachel you could tell would give to someone

260
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,080
who might be actually one bad headline away from something

261
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,320
that's going to go wrong and terribly wrong.

262
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: Well, if they're one bad headline away, I would say,

263
00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:05,879
think before you make your next step, and maybe think

264
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:08,679
about what you have and how that's going to feel

265
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,720
when you lose it, and how your credibility is going

266
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:12,759
to feel when you lose it. The other thing I

267
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:15,720
will say on another part of that question, though, is

268
00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:18,559
if these headlines happen, whether it's in your own community

269
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,960
or in the public, I personally believe that silence is

270
00:13:23,039 --> 00:13:27,200
not your friend. I think that owning your narrative, owning

271
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,159
your voice is the most important way you're going to

272
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,200
get out of it and hitting rock bottom. People don't

273
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,039
want to hit rock then they don't want to go

274
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,960
through the uncomfortable as you.

275
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: I think know going through.

276
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:42,759
Speaker 2: That is the only way to understand life and to

277
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:45,159
on the only way to figure out wait a minute,

278
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:47,679
what are the mistakes that I made, what's worth it,

279
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,440
what's not, and how.

280
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 3: I'm going to live going forward. So, just like you,

281
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:52,399
a lot of things.

282
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: To go back to your other question, I don't regret

283
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,279
because I know how to get myself out of any situation. Now,

284
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,039
just like you, you can decide if you want to

285
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,039
be friends with somebody, if you want to reconcile, if

286
00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:04,759
you want to move forward with things, because you have

287
00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:08,360
the knowledge of what happened in the past, and you know.

288
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,399
For me, it's like I want to tell people that

289
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,200
are in situations like this, you got to own your narrative.

290
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,440
You can't be persuaded by people that want you to

291
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,879
say certain things. You can't say things just to get

292
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,919
out of a situation. You got to own what you

293
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,600
did wrong first, and then you got to be able

294
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:27,120
to move forward and be like, here's my story. But

295
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:30,240
my past doesn't define me. It just might make me

296
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:34,080
more interesting. But the past literally creates who I am

297
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,399
in the future and who I am now.

298
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,679
Speaker 1: Well so interesting, well, so interesting that Rachel Yucatel has

299
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:40,919
a number one podcast that's out there. You want to

300
00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:44,000
give yourself a nice little plug here, sure, which I,

301
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,159
by the way, expect to be on very very soon.

302
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I am very excited to have you. And part

303
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,919
of the reason I created a show like this, it's

304
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,000
called Misunderstood with Rachel yu Cautel. It's about people who

305
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,519
have been reduced to a headline and their on a

306
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,440
mission to change their narrative about the complexities of the

307
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:04,919
human nature and the power of second chances. And so

308
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,759
we have everybody from politicians to athletes, to actors to

309
00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:12,639
reality stars and sometimes ordinary people with extraordinary stories. We're

310
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,279
number one in entertainment news right now and I can't

311
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:15,799
wait to have.

312
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,639
Speaker 1: You on well and too Felon. So thank you so

313
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:22,799
much Rachel for joining me on when you know, you know, unleashed.

314
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:25,639
I appreciate it, and I would love to also one

315
00:15:25,679 --> 00:15:28,440
of these days have you on my talk show here

316
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,600
on seventy seven WABC on Sundays at five pm. Can't wait, Rachel,

317
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:36,360
I really appreciate you sharing your story. You know, the

318
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,679
parts that make you look good, the parts that make

319
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,080
good television, the parts that clearly still cost you something

320
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,799
to talk about. And that's what the show is for

321
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,919
my friends. That's Rachel, you could tell. So if you

322
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,240
take one thing from this conversation, just one. Let it

323
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:54,480
be this, that the person behind the headline is never

324
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:57,279
the actual whole story, and we'll see you next time,

325
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,440
right here on when you know, you know, leashed
