Daisy and Richard, how's it going?
How are you, Nick?
It's going great.
I'm doing great.
Thanks for joining.
Yeah.
My pleasure.
So you guys are, where are you guys located these days?
We are in Malibu.
Malibu.
Have you been pretty bunkered down since quarantine there?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we've barely left the house, practically.
We have not.
We actually just, maybe two weeks ago, we went out to dinner just down the street at a really kind of not a terribly public place for the first time since March.
Since March.
It was nice.
It was nice.
And we immediately said, we don't ever need to do this again.
We just wanted to get back to that house.
As soon as you got there, you just wanted to leave?
Yeah.
Well, kind of.
We met a friend of ours who we love but and we've had
maybe two or three times we've had people come over and we open up you can't see but these doors
all open up to the beach because we're right on the beach so you feel kind of like you're outside
it's a little more and we're still socially distanced and all that but there's just uh for us
we're we we have not taken this lightly at all I don't think we've become neurotic about it, but we're erring way on the side of caution.
Well, because we've got our parents and we're taking care of Richard's mom, who's 85 and immune compromised.
So we're trying to just be a little extra careful.
But we've been really I think a lifesaver to me has been the fact that we are on the beach and we
can go hiking and if it wasn't for being near nature I think I would have lost my freaking mind
yeah yeah did you guys how from the beginning to now did you guys go through moments of
hey we're enjoying the peace and quiet of like hey well it's it's great because like we're supposed
to stay at home and I love being at home to like I need to get the fuck out of here and then back
to like settling in has it been like that's how it was for me
pretty much it's yeah i think most people have sort of ridden that whole roller coaster of
different emotions yeah um you know when when we decided i think it was march 7th uh we flew back
from new york i was supposed to leave the next day to go do a tour in Europe of
22 shows throughout Europe. And we just shut it all down. Like, I think I was one of the first
tours to cancel. And then everybody within a couple of days, every tour canceled after that.
And for both of us, it's not just that we were busy. And then all of a sudden we had to stop.
for both of us, it's not just that we were busy and then all of a sudden we had to stop.
It's that our whole lives, our whole adult lives have been go, go, go, travel, travel, travel.
Living out of a bag.
Living out of a suitcase. And we bitch and moan sometimes when we're on the road because we just want to be home and be in one place.
But then you get home and a couple of weeks later, you're like, what the fuck?
I just keep looking over at my bags.
What do you think, if anything?
Because this has gone on long enough that the world's going to change.
I mean, it has changed.
And it's going to change permanently on some aspects.
For you guys personally, God willing, let's say six
months from now or whatever, there is a, not a cure, but a, what do they call it? A vaccine
vaccine. Thank you. Uh, and the world gets back to relatively normal. What do you think you guys,
for you guys personally, as a couple, as individuals won't go back to way the way you
guys used to do things as a result of this kind of new norm that you guys have been, as individuals, won't go back to the way you guys used to do things as a result
of this kind of new norm that you guys have been living for the past several months.
We've talked about this, actually. I'll let you take this one first.
You know, I think one of the things that I want to hold on to is being home more and having people
over and enjoying and just enjoying time with the people who we truly love and miss.
I think that we were getting caught up in like you have to go out
or you have to go to a big fancy gala or you have to have a big fancy dinner.
And it's so not about that anymore.
I have embraced just simplicity.
And doing takeout or making some pasta and not being fancy and
if you're not down with that then go away like i i'm not about like doing big fancy crazy things
anymore you know what i mean i just want to talk i think um i think the other thing is that
um for for me i think i think it's been a a little bit more of a an adjustment period for me than it
has he has been even for daisy in that when i met daisy years ago, eight years ago,
she had figured out a way to really turn off the world when she wanted to in terms of like going on a vacation.
When she would go somewhere or we would go somewhere,
she was really present in those trips and unplugging
and just being, you know, sitting on the beach
or just being in the water or wherever
we were in Aspen or wherever we would go, she would be completely present no matter how long
we stayed. And I was,'t I didn't have the conditioning
uh and it took me a while yeah it took me a while and now I'm quite good at it now I'm really good
at it to the point where you know if I'm lucky enough to go back to touring and doing concerts
a year from now which is the plan and next next next fall. Um, I wonder how much of that
will be almost like a new experience for me all over again. And in the opposite way,
will it be, I mean, it's going to be exciting and I can't wait to be able to go back and perform,
but I, I was used to being on the road for long stretches and being fine with it. Um,
but now I think that if anything, this has taught me that there is a great balance to be had that I
that I didn't have before yeah I mean especially for for you Richard because you're the lifestyle
you said touring traveling most people don't have they don't get to do what you you get to do well
what do you do what do you do to unwind and to just totally shut your mind down and be present chill out i relate more to richard
in the sense that my my resting state is still go go go go go like when i don't have things to do i
get anxious or i feel like i'm not being unproductive and even when i'm supposed to just
be present and enjoying life being present is probably my greatest weakness that I can probably think of yeah um and especially when I'm around loved ones or friends to just you know just be present and
enjoy them it's it's it's a challenge for me and so um it's been something I've really tried to
to get better at you know so has this time sorry okay has this time um enabled you to find
tools new tools to help you achieve that goal or are you still sort of yes and no i mean i've been
busy you know with my like with work and i've been lucky enough to still do this and then i
you know i've been by i bought you know i was in the buying a house kind of process and I just bought a process that's kept me busy, which has been nice.
There's the flip side of it too, is it's like your home, your home alone, you have more time on your phone, social media, which is like the opposite of trying to be present.
Yeah. So I don't know if I've, I've become more conscious and self-aware of,
of it, if that makes sense. I don't know if I've actually improved yet, but I've, you know,
I've, I've started to try to do little things to be mindful of it or just, you know, kind of get, you know, the greatest thing is people around me is almost to kind of give them permission to call me out,
you know,
Hey,
like help me with this,
like help me do this.
You're not going to be a nag.
Like I,
you know,
that's been helpful for,
for me to,
to tell the people that I want to get help from to just like,

just,

That's great.
Do you find that it gets worse or more difficult to do that the more successful you are as opposed to when you were younger and just kind of had the big dreams in your mind of what life wanted to be?
had the big dreams in your mind of, you know, what life wanted to be. And you were kind of hustling, you know, when you were young and really getting into the groove and then you become
successful. Does it make it worse? Uh, for me, I think you could argue that it does because I,
I'm so afraid of losing it, you know, in a sense. So the little, anytime I taste some success,
my first thought is to try to protect it.
I, you know, I, before I did any of this in the entertainment business,
I was in sales and like the mindset and before sales, I was in sports.
And especially for sales, it's like, you know, every month there's a reset button.
It doesn't matter what you did.
It doesn't matter what you did, you know, know your next month you're all back to zero and there was always that
it kept you sharp but it always was this kind of unsettling feeling and that has stuck with me it
helps me sometimes but it also doesn't allow me to really um enjoy the things i'm doing and so
that's you know one of the things one of the things that i doing. And so that's, you know, one of the things, one of the things
that I told Richard in regards to that is that I think will work for you and anyone who has had
success or has success. You will always have it. You know, this fear of success going away,
just because you are maybe a little bit less visible
doesn't mean you don't have success. Like today, you are the most successful you've ever been in
your life. And tomorrow or next week, you'll be even more successful. So even if you're not as
busy, and you are not as visible, no one's going to take that success from you.
With him, all the hits that he's had,
all the success, the awards,
no one's taking that away from him.
You have levels of being at your peak
and you can't maintain that.
And if you try to maintain that state of mind
of being at your peak, you gonna go crazy you will have different
levels of of visibility of success of being busy but no one's gonna take that away from you there
are also different definitions of success you know and that that definitely changes over time
as you get older and you gain experience life experience and i don't know about you, but Daisy and I have had this conversation many times.
I think for both of us, what other people would consider our most successful times of our lives were coincided with us being probably the most unhappy we've ever been.
being probably the most unhappy we've ever been. You know, when I was, when I, when my career was, um, really on fire in terms of like being on, you know, every video was, you know,
blasted on MTV and every single was at the top of the charts and I was touring nonstop and
I was, uh, I didn't enjoy it. I was, I was really wrapped up in kind of what you just mentioned. I
was just so obsessed with keeping it going and protecting it and fearing that it was going to go away.
That the next thing I knew, years would go by and I didn't celebrate any of that great success.
I was so caught up in the paranoia of keeping it.
So in a way, you could say, well, yeah, that was a really incredibly successful time, but it didn't feel like it because I wasn't having any fun.
Yeah. I mean, I, I, I know what you're, I know what you're saying and that's definitely something
I've been, you know, working on. And so, uh, it's, it's nice to, to have you reinforce that,
that feeling. Um, is that the same with you, Daisy? Did you, I mean,
same mentality or you've been always better at that?
I, you know, I wasn't know i was always known how to have
fun yeah but it's different because because you know when i was younger i didn't have this
talent that i needed to be to be exposed and successful with i got lucky in that
um i was able to start modeling at a young age which was something that was kind of a dream of mine when I was, you know, 14 years old.
I used to look through the magazines and think, what a wonderful life that must be.
So I did get a chance to do that early on.
And from there, I quickly jumped onto, you know, an opportunity of a lifetime to do television and quickly got into MTV.
So it was very quick.
And then I kind of became the it girl, you know, where you're just getting offers and opportunities.
And I was on MTV US and I was on MTV in Latin America.
And I had a show that aired on MTV Europe.
So it was worldwide, like literally in two different languages.
And it was a lot.
So I started getting offers as, you know,
not just for modeling, but now as a spokesperson. So I had deals with some of the biggest companies,
you know, from Revlon to American Express to you name it, M&Ms, I was doing commercials, I was,
I had, you know, multi year campaigns signed and movie offers. And was just going going going going and I don't remember much
of it and that's the problem it wasn't like I was trying to achieve a certain goal like oh I want to
be the most my goal was never to be the most famous person but like you I thought oh this is
gonna be the last offer I get this is gonna be the last offer I get. This is going to be the last job I get.
And I was so busy going from one thing to the next and just working, working, working that I don't remember much of my life from, you know, over a decade.
Yeah, it is kind of bizarre.
It's time always, it seems like it moves so fast and then slow at the same time,
all depending on your frame of mind.'s i wish i paid attention more i wish i'd been more present
and remembered more things and just yeah because yeah you just i forgot a lot of it it's just like
i i get hotels mixed up with the cities and people mixed up with jobs and it's just a big
mess in my mind of like over a decade can i ask you a
question daisy i'm here just because i'm latin but you were also like the first latin vj like
the first latin girl for revlon like you were became so iconic for being this representation
that people didn't see all the time so was was there pressure there as well that you felt like you had to do everything because you were? I always just had a really great work ethic. So I didn't
think of that so much. You got to remember when I first started, the word crossover didn't even
exist. So I didn't know what was going on or what it was going to become. I just had a really strong work ethic. So I think that that probably automatically
translated into the authenticity of just doing the right thing and being yourself and representing
yourself the right way. But I was too young to even know who I was or what I wanted to stand for.
So I just focused on the work and got lucky enough to be able to do something that eventually became really groundbreaking for our community, for Hispanics in this country, you know, to be able to do that crossover that very few people have done even today.
Yeah. Do you still, like with any young Latin women, do you pride yourself in being a role model in that space?
Or do you have people reach out to you as kind of from an inspirational standpoint?
Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I do. And I don't necessarily see myself as a role model.
But if anybody can take anything from my experiences or from my life lessons, then that's great.
I mean, I know I love hearing from people who,
who I admire,
who I think have done great things,
whether in their life personally or in their careers.
So I,
yeah,
I hope I can,
my life lessons or some of the things that I've done can inspire some young
women to take over.
That's great.
I was listening to your guys' podcast, Tequila Talk, on the way in,
and what was pretty evident of listening to it is you guys just seem to have a lot of fun together.
We really do.
You just kind of riffed.
And what I guess is maybe, I don't know, maybe it is unique.
I don't know if it's unique.
But you always, you go to, you know, when people would go to restaurants,
how many times do you see like the couples just like sitting at a dinner table
like staring at each other or their food?
And here you guys are creating a podcast out about it.
You guys are clearly having fun with one another.
I'm assuming it's not just when you're recording a podcast.
No, it's only then.
It's only that one hour.
You just save it.
We really do. Actually, I don't see you in between. Yeah only that one hour you just save it we really actually we
that's how you do it huh i'm not i don't really care for her terribly
oh we have too much fun you know you gotta remember that we only met in our 40s okay
well that's what we both come with an entire lifetime behind us that we're still catching up
with it's amazing well that's what i wanted to ask you about daisy you were um pretty outspoken
about not wanting to get married again uh when when was she ever when richard proposed to you
and you know so much of the people who call in the show when we do our episodes and ask for
advice and i always try to it's so hard to to get people to understand perspective you know
no matter what age you are it's something i've kind of learned that i really lacked when i was
younger but the fear of taking risks as we get older in life or the fear of quote unquote starting over.
And it's something I really tried to talk about in terms of like, you know, it's never too late,
et cetera, to try new things. You know, here I was, I changed my career completely, a career that I quite liked and I was happy with, but I didn't know if I loved it. Right. And I just
wondered if there was maybe something more in my early to mid thirties, you know, for people who have breakups, who have divorces and they,
they feel like, well, this is it for me. I might've, I'm just, it's over. I had my,
my shot. Like, what do you guys say to that? And, you know, specifically Daisy,
why did you think to yourself, I don't want to get married?
Was it because that you, yeah, why was that?
And what has changed, obviously, with your marriage with Richard?
I have been sleeping like a baby on my Helix mattress.

Well, I thought I didn't want to get married. I'd been married when I was really young for
four and a half years. And then I went on to have a few long-term relationships that were fine until
they weren't anymore. And I just thought I was at a place in
my life where I was so content with everything that I had built in my life and around my life
with my friends, my family, my home, that I thought, I'm so good. Like, this is just fine.
Whoever wants to come into my life is great great because I do love being in a relationship.
And I was realizing from all of my experiences and from my friends' experiences that good things don't last.
And there is no such thing as a perfect relationship.
So, yes, I was a little jaded in that respect.
But I was still very open to meeting someone.
but I was still very open to meeting someone.
And the relationship that I ended up having with Richard was almost like that fairytale relationship
that I kept envisioning in my mind thinking,
well, I'm not going to have one of those relationships
unless it's that relationship.
Other than that, I'm just going to go with the flow
and it's going to be a relationship
until my vibe is you know
screwed and then you can leave so you're welcome to come into my life you're welcome to leave just
don't block the fucking doorway you know what i mean i love that i mean so when richard came
into my life i was just like he's almost too good to be true so i gave him a little bit of a hard
time because i thought he was too good to be true so i gave him a little bit of a hard time because i
thought he was too good to be true but he ended up being exactly who he said he was and then i
thought you know by the time he asked me to get married i thought i never wanted to get married
but i would totally want to be married to you you know so it's it's different and and i found that it doesn't you don't really
get into that place unless you have created a life for yourself that you're truly happy with
and if you're not nobody else is going to come in and be truly happy with you in your life if you're
not and it's a lot of pressure to put on anybody to make you happy you have to be happy and in a
good place it really is i mean and i mean i loved how you said, don't block my fucking doorway.
I think that's what we're going to title this episode.
No, it's great though.
But what would you say to, I mean, it's such a cliche question, but if you could think
of young Daisy, early Daisy, and like what you said was unique, but it's been said before
you said it is in a very creative way but you
you talk about just being comfortable with being single comfortable with who you were right and i
love what you said it's just like i don't even like that you well i don't like that you said
jaded because i don't think i'm jaded i think i'm i'm realistic you're more self-aware and like i
said i don't think you're jaded because you were still open. You know, you're just like, I'm just not like desperate.
I don't need to be with someone.
I'm not going to label myself if I'm single in a negative way.
I'm still going to do my thing.
What I don't is need it, but I'll have it if it's great.
And then, like you said, I think it sounds like that's what allowed you to meet someone like Richard.
Yeah, but the jaded part comes in when I look back,
I can realize I was jaded because that perfect relationship
that I wanted and I wasn't going to settle for anything less,
I was sure didn't exist.
And it does exist.
And my idea of a perfect relationship is different
than your idea of a perfect relationship
and the next person's idea of a perfect relationship.
So it's really about figuring out what your deal breakers are.
What are you not going to negotiate for yourself and for your life?
And that don't settle for anything less.
And those terms are going to be different for everyone.
Yeah.
What about you, Richard?
I mean, your relationship with Daisy is not your first. Did you ever have moments of jadedness,
or were you always pretty optimistic about your relationship life?
I think it was a little trickier for me in that I married my first wife
when I was really young.
We met when I was 19 or 20.
We got married when I was 23, 24.
Started having kids right away.
We were married for a long, long time.
I have nothing but good things to say about my ex.
Really fine person.
And I think that probably like most other long marriages,
which ultimately make the choice to end, it's really just a case of you grow, not even necessarily apart, but you just grow in different directions.
Or you realize that, especially once you've raised your kids, and once it's really just the two of you again, decades later, you go, wait, this isn't like I want to do this, this, this and this.
I think this way and this way and that way.
And the other person is has changed as well.
Right.
And so it was not an even attached to another partner.
It was that I wanted a different kind of life for myself.
And it was a really difficult time, obviously, getting divorced after all those years.
And the funny thing is that even though I had met Daisy,
and I always thought Daisy was amazing. I mean, back, you know, decades ago, I had a crush on her
like everybody else did. But I had met her. And she was one of the first, she was really the first
person who I went on a date with after I after I'd been married for 100 years. And it was such a cliche in a way
because I immediately fell madly in love with her.
Like the minute I sat down at a dinner table with her
and spent a few hours talking to her,
I became completely,
as my mother loves the word, besotted.
That's a great old classic word.
I became completely infatuated and besotted that's a great that's a great old classic word i became completely infatuated
and besotted with daisy and it was it was too much for her at one like she was like dude you just you
just got divorced like 10 seconds ago and now it's like all about me and she and she was seeing the
sort of cliched warning signs um and so she was the one
that made sure that we took it really slow even to the point where she broke up with me for a while
like she wouldn't see we stopped seeing each other for a little while because she she knew that if we
were to just forge ahead with this that i would not have the perspective that I needed to create a space where this exists you
know sure she she in a sense almost forced me to the way she described her
life that was so poetic and that you responded to she basically was saying to
me you need to do that for yourself you know who you are as a single man yeah
you need to be you need to date and you need to do this.
I made him go out and date.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I did.
Yeah.
I think that's great.
I mean, there's nothing.
It's so hard.
What you have, Daisy, obviously, is what so many of us lack is kind of that inner courage
or strength to just accept how things will play out.
Obviously, have confidence yourself.
It's hard in a dating situation.
How many times do we,
it's like we know what we're supposed to do.
We know we're not supposed to like text them
when, you know, or on their, whatever it is,
or show up, or we know we're not supposed to post
the sappy, pathetic thing on social media
that makes us look sad and pathetic,
but in that moment, we think it going to let that person know how much we
miss them.
Like it's so hard to do.
And yet Daisy had this strength to say,
I don't know how this is going to play out,
but this is what you need to do.
And if it works out,
you'll be back,
you know,
here for me,
it's just so hard to do.
And Daisy obviously had the ability to do that.
But I think that's great that you did that.
Nick, I think the most important fact, which needs to be, I think it's important in this conversation to really spell it out.
created was also a surefire sort of way of proving that neither of us had an agenda with each other in terms of, well, certainly we had, our circumstances were really unique. We, you know,
we met later in life. Daisy was incredibly successful. She didn't need anything from me.
She didn't need financial support from me. She didn't need, you know, she'd been through enough
relationships and learned enough about relationships as she described, where she knew She didn't need financial support from me. She didn't need, you know, she'd been through enough relationships and learned enough about relationships as she described, where she knew
she didn't need someone in her life to make her happy. She carved out a really great life for
herself. What I needed to do was be in that place where I wasn't needing someone. And so when you slowly but surely remove every possible agenda, and I know that that has
such a bad connotation, but most relationships have, even in the most loving relationships,
there's an agenda attached. Either it's someone who really wants to have a family,
or somebody who really wants to feel safe and taken care of and all that.
Really wants to feel uh safe and taken care of and all that really wants to get married you get rid of
all that shit and you're only together purely because you just want to be with that person
that's why i think this works so far i mean we you know we're still kind of new we'll be married
five years at the end of the year but you know i feel like we've done this one right and um and i think it's
because we are so happy independently that it just makes us yeah 10 times happier together
and we're still aware that this could not work at some point and then you know i don't want him to
feel like he's stuck with me if he's no longer happy or in love you know you have no i
aware i love that you guys are saying that yeah because it's something i've recently especially
with a lot of our callers and it sounds counterintuitive but i've been really kind of
advocating to people just like you know every i actually had i had a friend call for for dating
advice it's actually someone who was on the show and i was
talking to him and i was like i'm not saying you need to break up with this person i'm saying
you you're he was saying i know this is finally my i finally found my person i know it's her
right and then he would immediately follow it up by saying well i don't know if i like this and
she does this and i'm unhappy with this and And I was like, listen, you need to accept the possibility that she's not your person.
I'm not saying she isn't, but I think that will free you up to making clearer decisions about what you need or how you feel.
And too many of us are in relationships being unwilling to consider the possibility that this isn't the match that we decided to tell
ourselves early on and then immediately making excuses for the person we're with while all all
while feeling unhappy and so here you are you guys are just like i don't know we'll see and clearly
you guys are super happy with each other but every day that goes by you're just like i'm not i'm not
gonna tell myself and convince myself i'm happy i'm not gonna tell myself and convince myself i'm happy
i'm just gonna let myself be happy and you guys are happier for it you know i think that's that's
great and also how you said about your friend who who's saying well you know this is my person i'm
really into her but then there's this that i don't like and then there's that i don't like and
and but you know nobody's perfect we're all looking for someone to be so perfect.
And I think it's so great to let people be exactly who they are.
As long as you know what your deal breakers are and this person meets that, let that person be flawed in all their glory and learn.
Let them learn what they need to learn.
flawed in all their glory and learn let them learn what they need to learn and we all need to look at ourselves and be like well i don't like this so much about myself how can i change that how can
i improve this about myself like don't worry about the other people like fix yourself you know what i
mean you have to be realistic in that you know i mean it's nearly impossible to find someone as perfect as me. Yes, it's true, honey.
But you did.
But you've accepted that reality, yeah.
And I found her.
Well, with that hair, Richard, it's hard to, I mean,
do you have a hair routine?
As someone who has curly hair.
Oh, dear Lord.
I'm just going to go get a drink now.
My hair routine?
Did you just call it a hair routine?
Do you have one?
I don't know.
Is this God's gift?
This is God's gift.
He actually complains about this.
He's like, it's just so curly.
I'm like, will you just shut up?
What is wrong with you?
No, but like, up in the day, it was like, kind of like the fluffy, like, Richard, my first four concerts in life were Richard Marks concerts.
Oh my God, I love that.
Yeah, Wilson Phillips and Richard Marks.
But it was definitely more of like a fluffy mullet.
Oh, big time.
I feel like this is a good look.
Well, he actually says, I don't know.
I feel like my hair is just not as full as it used to be.
I'm like, if it was any fuller.
That's insulting.
There's so many men out there.
Sorry.
No, I have no hair routine.
It's like, oh, my God, my hair.
I don't know what to do with all of my hair.
So I'll tell you what my hair routine was this morning,
if you really want to
know i woke up about an hour before this and i put some i why i didn't even wash it i just put
some conditioner in it and i shook my head like a dog and i put a little bit of this stuff that
the guy that he hasn't cut my hair in eight months or something but he gave me this little uh this
little cream it's like curl
because my hair is really curly
and that's it
and the guy
he went to go
sorry
he went to go get a haircut
oh yeah this is funny
he hadn't seen his guy
in seven or eight months
and he was going to cut it
because he was going to do this
he was going to record
a TV thing
and the guy saw him
didn't recognize him
and when he realized
it was him
he was like
I can't cut your hair I'm not cutting your hair I was him, he was like, I can't cut your hair.
I'm not cutting your hair.
I'm not cutting it.
I won't.
I won't cut your hair.
You see, do you know how many assholes I have come in here that want that?
Yeah.
No, I mean, you're, I'm one of those assholes.
Like, I really wanted you to be like, you know, every morning I wake up at 5.50 a.m.
and I walk up the mountains in Malibu and I cut down this specific
tree and then I drain the sap from it and I rub it in my hair and then I would be like okay fine
if I really wanted to wake up that early I could have hair like that but you're telling me it's not
possible dude there's no I'm just really super lucky especially at 57 to still have any hair let alone this much so i'm very blessed how did you guys
meet by the way twitter twitter yeah yeah really well i mean that makes sense your twitter game is
is strong richard on fire well this is but this is years ago um we we you know because a lot of
times you'll you'll meet someone through Twitter because you both follow a common account.
And Martha Quinn, who was one of the original MTV VJs, she and I started following each other when I joined Twitter years ago.
And unbeknownst to me, Daisy followed Martha.
And one day, Martha and I were having this kind of funny back and forth on Twitter.
And Daisy saw it in her feed and she
commented on it and she said
something like oh my god you guys are giving me the sweetest
90s flashback or something like that
and so I
saw it in my
feed and I was like oh my god
Daisy Fuentes
what does she look like now
holy shit
she looks better than she's ever oh my god she's so
gorgeous still um but then I started so then I started following her and I realized that just
like I used to think about her years ago when I would see her do interviews and I would see her
on MTV you know her beauty her physical beauty is so obvious but I remember always thinking that
there was something so cool about her like Like, I remember thinking, aside from being super hot,
I bet she's a great hang. I bet she's just really fun. And then when I started to read her tweets
and follow her on Twitter, I started to think she's really smart and she's really cool. And then,
you know, years later, when we finally did meet,
we already sort of knew each other a little bit through Twitter.
A little bit.
But that's, you know, it's weird.
For as much as we can give Twitter a bunch of shit for the cesspool that it is,
it has provided me with the greatest relationship of my entire life
and also a couple of other friendships that wouldn't have happened had Twitter not existed.
That's great.
Did you slide it?
You didn't slide it into our DMs?
You follow each other?
He sure did.
I sure did.
He sure did.
I mean, not initially, but just like eventually.
What did you say?
It was really innocent.
It was a great line.
It was like, hey, I'm having this concert.
I'm doing this yeah
hi i'm a rock star what are you doing friday i'm doing this live tape thing at the grammy museum
in la i'm coming in for just a couple days would love to invite you to the show
well so he he pulled his rock star status and it worked.
Hey, no shame.
That is awesome. Yeah, that's how we met.
And then, but then we took it pretty slow.
Like I said, we saw each other for a little while
and then we stopped seeing each other for a while
and then we picked it back up again.
And by the time, that was a year into having met.
And you still weren't living in LA,
although you came to LA.A. a lot.
So we would see each other.
We would go out to dinner.
And it was nice because it was nice and slow.
Yeah.
And then when did you decide to propose, Richard?
I mean, if I saw the interview,
you just kind of took a leap of faith.
You didn't check in.
No.
In fact, I think that we had gotten to the point
where we were not technically living together,
but we were pretty much,
we were together every night.
But she still had her house,
and I had my house,
and we would kind of go back and forth.
And we'd been together pretty solidly
for, I'd say, nine months, ten months.
And one of the reasons that it never even, it was never really in my mind that much because, like you'd said at the top of the show, Daisy had made it pretty clear that she was, I wouldn't say anti-marriage, but that the idea of getting married was not on her radar.
Like, what's the point?
Why would someone like us? And frankly, having just come out a couple of years before
of a very long marriage, that was not on my radar either.
It was like, I just want to enjoy this relationship
for whatever it is, you know?
And she went with me.
I was performing in Singapore,
and I had a private show there on a Saturday
and then a public show at a beautiful venue the following Saturday.
So in between, we went to the Maldives because it's a pretty easy trip to get there.
And we'd always wanted to go to the Maldives.
And we love traveling together.
That's the other thing.
If you find out really early on in your relationship that you travel well together, that's a big sign.
That's a big sign.
That's a big sign.
And so we went and had this incredible, beautiful, romantic week in the Maldives and came back to Singapore.
I remember we were seeing a bunch of people getting married there.
There was like a wedding every day.
And I would be like, oh, look how pretty.
Oh, look, they're getting married.
Oh, that's so sweet.
And she would sometimes go, what the fuck are they thinking?
Why? And so we go back to singapore i do my concert and we're gonna fly home to la the next day
and we're up late at night we're having room service and we just ended up having this
conversation about marriage and i saw a shift in her tone about it and i and it's at one point i said to her in this conversation i
said you know if i knew you were you actually felt this way about marriage i probably would
have asked you before now and she went are you asking me now and i went he froze and i froze
because not because like oh shit i'm caught or anything like that I froze because I thought shit I don't want
to freak her out because I totally wanted to marry her but I thought she's gonna like if I so I it
was really one of those like you know does my how does my ass look in these pants you know like
so I was like in between a martini sip and with french fries in my mouth it was after your show
we're in pajamas and like
i'd like because it kind of sounds like you're asking i don't know i'm just saying
and she said something like you know i mean i i might feel differently about it than i used to
kind of like that it was just like i left the window she left the window a little open and i
just thought i wasn't as jaded anymore i wasn't like that yeah well for you it's almost
sounds like it was more than you were like yeah i totally will so we let's just say we landed you
know on a monday afternoon tuesday morning i called my mom who i adore and who adores Daisy, and I said, hey, I need you to take a ride with me.
I'm going to go into Beverly Hills and get a ring and ask Daisy to marry me.
And she was so excited.
So we went.
I went the next day and I got a ring.
And then the day after that, I proposed.
You can imagine my shock when I saw that ring.
Well, I saw an interview.
You said you hyperventilated before you said.
I remember saying, just breathe, breathe.
And I remember saying to her, there's no wrong answer.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
And it was really true.
If she'd said, look, I love you and I love hanging out with you,
but I don't want to get married, I would have been okay with that. to get married i would have been okay with that i mean i would have been a little disappointed but it
would have been okay because and maybe we would have gotten married later but um it worked out
where she just kind of took she jumped she took the leap have you richard you seem like an
incredibly obviously easygoing chill guy is that always the case in every aspect of your life?
And have you always been that way?
No.
In fact, I would say that most of the people who've known me the longest would not describe me as chill.
Up until the last five years or six years of my life.
One thing that's really interesting is, and I, I take it as like maybe
the greatest compliment I could get is that people who have known me for 30 years, 40 years
have said to me, you're like a different guy. You're like a different person. And they mean
it in a really nice way in that I'm just much more relaxed and I'm much more happy and I'm much more
more relaxed and I'm much more happy and I'm much more at ease with my own neurotic brain and I think I want to like I know I think I want to grow up to be Richard Marx
it's a really amazing thing to feel like you you've really flipped the script at a stage of
your life where you go yeah there's you recognize the things that were not serving you well in your life and you
make this and you make the change.
And, and we've been helping each other with that.
I mean, obviously the,
the big catalyst was Daisy and and way beyond just falling in love with her
and, and the romance of, and the, the hotness of it it's the it's
what i've learned from her as a person i have so much respect for her opinions and her brain and
um i just feel like the luckiest dude ever oh that's sweet um yeah you sound so down to earth
and someone who's basically been a rock star his whole life, that seems to be an incredible feat in itself.
Most people, like, you see people who are rock stars or famous people,
and you just assume they're not normal.
You're just like, ah, well, they're probably in their own world
and not down to earth, and you accept that.
And then talking to you, it's just like you could be my neighbor in Wisconsin.
You know, it's fine. It's chill.
It's whatever, man.
That part of me has always been that way.
I think that's always been it.
Another great thing about Richard is that he's a spectacular dad.
He's just an extraordinary dad, which is also very sexy.
How have you always been?
Like, so knowing that you're always able to do that, Richard, is I mean, it takes some
self-awareness and the ability to check yourself. You can have all the friends around you. But how have you been able to do that Richard is I mean it takes some self-awareness and the ability to check yourself you can have all the friends around you but how have you been able to do that
I mean you must have made that a priority to stay grounded throughout your life yeah well I started
with my parents you know I had incredible parents I still have my mom luckily and my dad was an incredible influence on me as well. And they, they somehow always gave me incredible support
and fueled my confidence, but never bullshitted me and would always call me out if I was out of line.
But you also have always lived a very wellined life, which I think is important for all of us
to really examine where we are in life
and how we can be better,
how we can improve, you know,
what we love or don't love about ourselves.
And you've always been very much that way,
self-analytical.
Yeah.
I think you have to be.
Yeah.
It's crucial.
I would agree.
I mean, I really,
I think that's great.
I mean, I really relate to that great I mean I really relate to that
I mean as happy
and amazing as you guys are every couple
has its challenges every couple fights
a little bit what are the things that you guys get on each
other nerves about and how do you guys
deal with it
embrace it or is it just
that magical that you haven't
had that yet no no no
but I'll tell you this one
thing and i think it is a function of meeting somebody later on in your life and after you've
had relationships and especially in our case where like i talked about there's no agenda
so there's less to argue about in terms of like raising kids or finances or any of that stuff that is pretty those that typical list of couple grievances you know sure so first of all there's so little for us
to argue about um i'm a little bit controlling and and richard it has i have a phobia a phobia
of anyone telling him what to do even if it's like
oh close the refrigerator door you left it open don't tell me what to do
kind of thing where it's i've told you a hundred billion times not to exaggerate
so you're afraid of people to tell you what to do and you like to tell people what to do and yet
you're yes and i i'm like i'm like look that's just what i do it's
not personal just let me fucking tell you what to do yeah you don't have to do it just let me
sometimes when i'll go oh my god like seriously that's really fucking annoying this is something
i've been doing my entire life and she'll go i know but i love you and you're doing it wrong yeah that's something i've found about myself uh that i
even when i date now it's just like there's a difference between listen i always want to get
better i want to be self-reflective and self-aware as well as just knowing who you are just like yeah
hey if you're gonna date me there's just a couple things
about me that yeah hey listen i'll try my best to to work on but there are limits to how how good
i'm gonna be at and i don't want to pretend to be someone i'm not and just a heads up you can't you
know when we're younger it's just like we'll spend a year just like fighting every, you know, common feeling we have just to pretend that we're good at things we're terrible at.
You know, it's just like, yeah, I'm terrible at that.
I suck.
I don't know.
Like you can.
I'll try.
But if this is a non-negotiable for you, we should just stop now because this is who I am.
And that's a very liberating feeling.
It is.
Exactly. It is.
Exactly.
All right.
Well, before I let you guys go, are you guys up for playing a fun game?
Sure.
All right. We usually play this game called Do You Know Me?
But since there's both of you and you guys are relatively newlyweds,
I thought we'd kind of do a Do You Know Me newlywed game version
where I'll ask you some questions chris and i will guess
uh the you know who's does what better who you know you guys get the gist of it um so don't i'll
ask the question don't answer right away and so instead of you guys figuring out if you guys know
each other well you guys can fight or get along but chrissy and i are going to
decide who does what better if that makes sense so do you know me with daisy and richard all right
newlywed style newlywed ish all right question number. Who is a better driver?
Well, currently I'm going to say Daisy because Richard only has one hand.
Well.
For so many other reasons. I feel like they're both going say themselves yeah i think you're right that's what
i think all right all right go ahead i'm a better driver no she's not i i nailed that listen richard
richard is so good at so many things but he can't park for shit my parking has gotten
over the years my parking
my parallel parking has deteriorated
meanwhile I can parallel park
an 18 wheeler I'm just saying
she can't she's got me on the parallel
I'll be honest Richard that
sounds like Daisy is a better driver
because parking is part
of driving it's kind of major
whatever it's kind of a big deal
if you don't know where to put the car
when you're done with it.
Look, if I don't have to stop anywhere,
I'm a better driver.
Right.
Sometimes he'll park
and you can fit another car
between the sidewalk and where his car is.
I'll give it that.
Richard Marks, all gas and no brakes.
Yeah.
All right. Question number two. gas and no brakes.
Alright,
question number two.
Who is better at apologizing
first or who is it
better at admitting they're wrong
or not making an
argument
last longer than it otherwise should?
I'm going to
say Daisy's better at that than richard
i have a reason why though yeah go for it what's your reason well first i want to get an answer
that my my my mind is daisy will be quicker to apologize i don't even apologize but like won't
or won't won't won't want richard likes a better like rich Richard likes to debate longer is what I'm saying.
I think he likes a good debate.
I'm going to disagree with you.
I'm going to say Richard.
Okay.
Richard is the one that's like,
so whatever.
Well, I mean, you guys,
you've distorted the question.
You're right.
We did.
Well, I...
So if the question is
who's better at apologizing
and taking responsibility
for being wrong in a situation
if that's the question who would you say you okay i would agree oh well they both okay but
but who likes to debate and prolong an argument as long as possible. Okay. I was listening to your podcast, and you guys were talking about virgins
and how many virgins in the world die virgins.
And Richard said, I bet that number is much larger than you would think.
I bet it's a huge number.
And then Daisy looked it up on the
internet and i think the answer was something like 0.3 percent was the answer and without
hesitation richard goes well see 0.3 percent and relative to the population of the world is
obviously a huge number i'm just like that's the most bullshit argument in the world but you said
it without hesitation and with such confidence that
if you're not paying attention it would just be like oh yeah totally totally totally totally
spot on by the way that was i also richard i really appreciated that because i i like like you
i was like you know talent knows talent knows talent, you know?
Right.
Well, look, and also just to put a point on it,
when I know that I'm wrong and it's clear that I'm wrong,
I don't have a problem saying I fucked up. No, you have a huge problem.
I was wrong.
But that's only going to happen after I've exhausted
every possibility of getting out of being wrong.
Yeah, totally. I totally agree with you, Richard. I have no problem admitting I'm wrong,
but you need to explain to me why I'm wrong. I'm not just going to offer that up.
And I'm not wrong just because you say I'm wrong.
You need to understand why you're wrong. It's very different.
Yeah. Thank you. I need you to explain it to me.
Like I'm a four year old child.
Yes.
Uh,
who is better at,
uh,
folding laundry?
Oh,
I'm going to say,
um,
Richard,
just because I think it would be fun.
I feel like I have a lot of similarities with Richard,
and it's fully modgy for me is the worst thing in the world I could possibly do.
So I'm by default going to say Daisy.
Daisy.
Yeah, I'm much better.
Daisy.
Okay.
It would have been fun.
I'm much better.
Daisy.
Okay.
It would have been fun.
I actually watch videos on the best way to fold shit and get it right.
Yeah, I was in retail.
I can do jeans.
Like, no, you got a jean closet.
I'm coming in there.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, with the pocket, with the label.
Daisy's so funny. It's weird because I'm a Virgo and she's a Scorpio,
but she's much more meticulous about those kind of things than I am.
Virgos and Scorpios are supposed to be really good together anyway.
Oh, really?
Who is better at technology?
We've had some technical difficulties for this show.
And I got to say, I don't know if you guys see...
I don't know if...
No one seemed particularly worse or better than the other.
I'm going to say maybe Richard
because he's in a studio all the time
and doing studio stuff.
Yeah, I'm going to say Richard's maybe better
only because maybe he's dealing with it on a day-to-day basis with the music career.
I would say that's dead on. I would say that I am better at technology than she is, but not by much because it's just that I'm aware I use different apps and I have to deal with different things than she does.
So I guess the answer would be how she'll come to me
and say hey can you figure this out for me much more than i'm i i can do it i'm i'm fine with it
but if there's someone in the room who's also good i will let them do it yeah which is awesome
because i just don't care final question who is the better cook jesus really this is this whole fucking thing is so skewed it's so skewed to our daisy
chrissy wrote these questions richard yeah i think the next question is gonna be who has better pitch
yeah how about that well there was there's no sing better who has perfect pitch
well she also wrote the question, who's a better dancer?
And I was like, well, I mean, come on.
Wow.
You never know.
Richard could have some moves.
He does, just not on the dance floor.
Who has better hair?
And Daisy, you have flawless hair.
Amazing hair.
I don't know.
I think I lost that one, too.
The whole thing is skewed because I have amazing hair, but she has better hair.
No, Richard. You have better hair.
I mean, just by...
You're a 57-year-old man
who has the hair of a 16-year-old
woman.
16-year-old girl, whatever.
16-year-old.
It's incredible.
That was awesome. Guys, this has been a ton of fun you guys um i feel like i could talk to you guys forever you guys seem like as you said richard
total fun hangs um you have an infectious kind of personalities and it's exciting to
see people find one another at whatever stage in the lives that there are and just be really
happy where they're at so thanks for kind of being so open and sharing your story and before I let
