And that's a lot of kisses, actually. Gotta go back. Is this thing on? Bonnie, who used to be a former sex worker, now hosts the podcast, Dumb Blonde. Most little girls grow up wanting to be doctors and lawyers and shit. And I was like, I want to be super hot, make a lot of fucking money, and be a rock star's wife. That was my goal as a child. And here we are. Let's do that.
What's up you sexy motherfuckers? Welcome to another episode of Dumb Blonde. Today we are doing something a little different. One of my childhood best friends in the entire world. You guys have heard me talk about Tasha, a.k.a. Tashlama, a.k.a. LaTasha Marzola, so many times throughout the years that I've had this podcast and she's always been a name without a face and the face is here, baby.
I'm not a ghost. You are not a ghost. I'm here. I swear, my entire podcast, because you know I'm writing a book right now too. Yes. You're a huge part in my book. Do you want me to change your name in the book or do you want me to keep it Tasha? I'll keep it the way it is. All right, cool. Yeah, so you're in my book. So literally, even when I tell my life story or I talk about how I ran away from home, I'm always just like my girl Tasha and her family. I'm
Went from living with Bill to fucking moving into a trailer park. And it was the best time of my life. Yes. Trailer park days. Roach Motel. Oh, Lord. They were falling off the ceiling walls. No, it was great. Gosh, I can't believe. I know. We had so much fun, though. We did, but we had it rough. We made mush. That was our favorite meal. Milk, frosty mug. Every time, a frosted mug. But to this day, what did we have for breakfast this morning, guys?
and and was there eggs in it yeah there was eggs in it yep to this day i still eat mush mush lives on i'm so happy to have you here thank you for having me i've missed you i've missed you too i'm so proud of you you're doing amazing i'm watching you i love you bill croaked a couple days ago and i think it's just crazy that
During like this was already planned like out like we have been planning this for a while So it wasn't like you came out just because of what bill, you know, how did the bill but it was just like crazy that the timing happened that you and my other best friend Monica are here and Nashville with me so it was almost like bill was like, you know what I can go now cuz she's gonna be with these two, you know, so Means a lot to me that you're here
And you brought the family. Yes, I brought my dinosaur and my bonus mom. Yay, they're here. We got Linda and Maury hanging out. We're going to give Maury a mic though because he's a funny motherfucker. You won't see him on camera, but if he wants to grab a mic and say something, he'll be able to say something. So the reason we're bringing you on the podcast is because you are kind of resurfacing and kind of rebranding and, you know,
Everybody knows my life story and they know the part that you played in my life story, but they don't know your life story Okay, so I want you to be able to tell your life story in words. So Let's go all the way back to baby Tosh llama baby Tosh llama. Okay, we've had it pretty hard You know that you were a part of my life Nothing's ever really came easy for me. I come from a dysfunctional family a lot of trauma a lot of abuse and
Somehow I found my way into fighting. Yeah. Well, let's not, we're not rushing over all the childhood stuff. Oh Lord, I thought I was skipping through. Nope, nope. This is not one of those MMA interviews. Okay, all right. This is like, we got to draw it out, baby. All right. So you were born in Chico, right? Paradise. Paradise, California. Yes, the town that burnt down. Yeah. Oh, it's not there anymore?
Well, it's there, but it burned down. Wow. I never knew that. Yes. So growing up there, what was that like? Were you with, was Maury and mom still together then? Yes. We ended up moving to Vegas. So I grew up in Las Vegas. Okay. So what time, how old were you guys when you moved to Vegas? Probably like eight years old or eight years old. Oh, so you moved to Vegas right after I did. I moved there when I was five. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you grew up in Vegas. Yes. Where did you go to elementary school and junior high? I forget. You know what? I think I was at Von Tobel, Harley-Hallman Elementary, I think. Is that where you met Josh? Von Tobel? Oh, gosh. Oh, my gosh.
I think... Why are you going to bring that up? I think I met him at Las Vegas High. Do you know Josh is listening to this at home like, yes. Las Vegas High, yes. Oh, you met Josh at Vegas High? Yes. Okay, I didn't know that. That's so funny, dude. For those wondering at home, Josh is an ex-boyfriend, but he's been like a family friend forever. He's just...
Old Josh Kitter. Do they count, though, if you're that young? I don't know. Dude, Tony just came through in a reading with Tyler Henry the other day. Scarboni? Scarboni. No. Came through with Tyler Henry to tell me that he is so proud of me and that he loves me and that he's always going to protect me and watch over me. Oh.
And like gave me confirmation that I saw him in the corner whenever he was dying. I went to go visit him with Frankie and I was holding his hand and I just, I was like, he's not here anymore. And I looked across the hospital room and he was sitting in the corner just watching us. And I was like, he's dead. He's not coming back. And he confirmed that with Tyler Henry, Tyler Henry. Cause Tyler was like,
somebody know anything about a Frank? And at first I'm like, Frank, who's Frank? And then I it like all came together. I cannot believe that. Is that not crazy? So the exes will come back to haunt you? Oh, no. She's like, No, please. No. Oh, hell no. So growing up in Vegas, what was that like for you? You know what, we lived in a bad neighborhood from, you know, projects to trailer parks. So were you with mom still? Yes, I was. And was dad there? Dad was not there. Okay. When did dad leave?
Dad left. He was well, he would make grand appearances, you know? Yeah, he would stop in for a little bit and then he'd leave too soon So he left like right after we got into Vegas. Okay. Gotcha. Yes, so we were you know, I was raised by my mom Yeah, and then I stayed you know
my aunt and uncle in the state streets. Let's talk about mom really quick. Mom was an addict growing up. No, she wasn't an addict. She drank. She drank off and on and she worked a lot and you know, she suffered in silence from trauma as a kid and you know, she never had
anything given to her. She had to work hard and she never talked about what was bothering her. She held it in. I feel like that is their generation. Yeah. For our parents, like coolest motherfuckers you'll ever meet. Some of them, but will not fucking try to fix any of their trauma. Like they're okay living with the hurt and the pain. Yeah. And it's just, it came out in other ways, you know? Yeah. Bill was an alcoholic too. Yeah.
So I'm really glad my mom changed her ways. And, you know, we'll get to that. But growing up, she was it was pretty hard. You guys had a tumultuous relationship. We bumped heads hard. Like I didn't like her at all. I was like, this is my mom for real. Like, you know, but then she would come through when I needed her. So I was like, oh, she's the best thing. And then I'd be mad at her again. And like, it was just mother daughter relationship. I realized that I didn't get along with my mom because I was so much like her.
And if I didn't have that in me, I would not have survived. I am strong like my mother. Yeah. You know? No, Mama T is a badass bitch. Yeah, she is. I used to always tell you, I used to be like, stop fighting with your mom. At least you have a mom that's cool. And you'd be like, fuck you. Yeah, I'd be like, shut the fuck up and stay out of this. Shut up.
So when did we meet? Okay. So moving on from that, you ended up front. Hold on enough about me. Let's talk about you. Um, you had to move in with your aunts and uncles, which is when I met you. Yes. In the state streets. I met you in theater class. Yes. But why did you have to move in with your aunts and uncles? Um, we couldn't live with our mom for a little bit. We were going through some, some stuff and, uh,
We had to go stay with our aunts and uncles. Yeah. So that was a hard time. You know, I thought it would be better, but they were not better. They were party animals. They were, you know, the same. But nobody loves you like your parents. You know, I realize that now. Yeah. You know, I wish it would have been different. I could have stuck it out with my mom, but I might not have ever met you. Yeah. So, you know, God has a plan. Mm-hmm. So. I have so many pictures of us as kids, dude. Oh, wow.
So we met in theater class. How did that happen? Do you remember? Well, we were performing. We were doing dances, remember? And something really weird happened. I think I farted. Somebody farted. And I said, who farted? And then I see this really beautiful girl looking at me. Oh, hell, that came from you?
Nothing's changed, dude. I fart on them all the time. Literally every morning. I instantly fell in love. I said, she is just as messed up as I am. I mean, I don't know if I would have farted straight up in theater class. We were doing a dance routine. I said, I got to be friends with this girl. I was nervous. I had nerves, man. I still, when I get nervous, my stomach, my tummy just rumbles. I can't help it. So we met in theater class and it was like love at first sight. And I
Actually, somebody tried to come in and fight you too. And I stood up for you. Oh, yes. Do you remember? Because you stole somebody's boyfriend. Well, I might have. Okay. I didn't know he had a girlfriend. I know they always lie. Yeah, it was, you know, I was ready. Mama, actually, when we were in high school. Yeah, I did not know that. Yeah.
What the hell? Motherfuckers. They never change. Yeah. And so just so you guys can just get an idea, I've always stuck up for people. Like, you're not going to come in and bully people when I'm around, especially like, like, I could tell you didn't really know what was going on. And you were like, what the fuck is happening? Yeah, I was really confused. Yeah. So. So we ended up becoming best friends after that. And I think it was, I think I was still at home. And then that's when I'm like,
Like a year later, I ended up like leaving home for good. And your family just like took me in. No hesitation. You and Michelle, I would like bounce around from you guys' houses. And just finally, I think I just settled in with you guys for like a pretty long while. And yeah.
moved from my dad's house into the trailer with you and your mom because you were back with your mom after yeah like a year or so and I tell everybody that that was like one of the best times of my life ever and that why my loyalty with you and your family runs so deep is because you know in one of my lowest times as a child your family was there to pick me up no matter how dysfunctional it was it was still a family to me and I've always just looked at them as like
you know, you and your mom is just like, you know, we love you. My soul family. Yes.
Yeah, it was awesome. Family, not all the time is blood, you know? Oh, it's not at all. After losing my dad, I don't have family anymore. I've cut everybody off. So it's like, you know, you guys are my family. So I think it's more of like a soul family type thing. Yeah, for sure. But I just want to give you your flowers publicly because you guys deserve it so much. Thank you so much. So after we moved in together, how was life? Well, you know, you got me a lot of...
You know what? Don't let this pretty face fool you, though. Okay? Because you fucking like to get into some shit, too. Well, I did. I did. And yes, I did. But I was antagonized a little bit.
I was always like, let's fucking go. You went hard, bro. The shit we did as kids, like we used to walk the streets and let dudes and Porsches pick us up and take them to their house to party. Like, what the fuck? My fucking 14, 15 year old kid. If they did that, I would literally kill somebody. And I think I stole some guy's retin-A at a party. What were we doing? We could have ended up dead. I don't know. I gotta get rid of this gum real quick. No, you're good.
I don't know what we were doing, dude. We were just fucking free for all. We didn't have any parent, you know, supervision. Like, mom did what she could. But, you know, we kind of like were just little adults figuring it out on our own. Yeah, we were living that wild life. Tasha's mom had a boyfriend that... Ripple. Who? Ripple. Ripple.
What was it, Rippo? We nicknamed everybody the one we beat up. Yeah, I think it was Rippo. Yes. Okay. So if I can, I guess he had put his hands on mom or something. Yes. So we got me, Tasha, and all the kids in the trailer park. And Mikey. And Mikey, Tasha's brother. And...
And we beat the dude up. Yeah. In front of the trailer park. We were like 14 years old, beaten grown men up. It was crazy. And Mikey was 12. Mikey banked him first. I know. It was on after that. And then we all took turns. We all say, all right, your turn, Liz. Then you jumped in. And I was like, what's up, man? And then I squared up with him. And he was a big man. I know. And he was from the hood. And we were wild.
working him over. That's why people are like, you know, they have no idea. Oh yeah. Where we, you know, where we grew up and what we did. I know. You know, it's crazy. That's why I love having you here. Cause we can actually like paint a picture of like the shit we were doing was so crazy at our age, dude, like 15, 16 year olds. We'd be going to Sam's town and just fucking like, what were we doing? And why did I dress everybody up?
I gotta say to all the clubs. I mean, I know, I know we were, we were drinking in Vegas clubs at 16 years old. Yeah. 17 years old. Like how the fuck were we getting in these clubs? Well, I,
Do you remember I had a fake ID of some Mexican lady and my name was Maria? Yes. And I was 16 getting into the clubs with this fucking... The lady had to have been 35 and I'm 16. I had Aunt Chastis and they said, this doesn't look like you. I said, I got some surgery. I know. Remember? Yeah.
How did I even know to say that at that age? Dude, it was wild. When I think of summer smells, I think of sunscreen, salty beach air, barbecue on the grill, and unfortunately, body odor.

Let's talk about you meeting your first son Elijah's dad. Yes, Ivan because I know that was a Very pivotal moment in your life and I was happy to be there for that. We both grew up with Ivan Yes, his grandmother and my meemaw who has passed on were like best church friends Yes, and they hung out all the time and I forget how you met Ivan though. Where did you meet him school? Okay, yeah, I've Anna
I wanna hump a lot. And he looked at me and he had this smile that was so genuine and beautiful. He was kind. He was Indian. That's how I got my name, Tashlama, because I liked the Indian boy. Yeah. And he was the love of my life. Yeah. There was nobody like him. You know, there's not a day that goes by where I don't think about him or wish he was around. And I know his son definitely, you know,
mourns him every day elijah looks like him so much like he looks a lot like you yeah like when he smiles and like you could just see yeah and in him it's crazy i wish he had more of his dad because his dad was patient and you know thought about things he he looks like his dad but he acts like me he is wild oh like i'm just really the apple doesn't fall far from the tree tone it down be more like your dad no he's awesome he's a go-getter i'm really proud of him
So, Elijah's how old now? He's 25. I cannot believe you have a 25-year-old. I can't either. That's funny. You don't even look like you would have a 25-year-old. Thank you. That's crazy. Those Vegas girls, you know, we age different. Yeah. For sure. It was all the drugs that preserved us. Yeah, preserved us. It's all the fucking drugs and alcohol that fucking preserved us, dude. So, let's take it back to, you know, you meeting Ivan. And then, I think you and I were living at some lady's house, weren't we? Like, it was some lady named Nicole. Nicole.
Okay. And you had ended up getting pregnant. That's when you had... Yes. Who was that lady? I don't even know. I had me either. I'm like...
I'm trying to blink, but I know the lady. I remember that you came home and told me that day that, you know, like, hey, I'm pregnant and I'm going to go live with Ivan. And I remember I felt so abandoned because we were in love. I'm sorry. Like we literally did everything. We should have just had the baby together. You know, if I could go back, I would change that. No, you're totally fine. You would have been a great dad. I know. Right. I just remember that.
you and I were like this, like inseparable, you know? And like we had, we'd met when we were 14. Then how old were you when you got pregnant with Elijah? 18, 18. So we had four years of just me and you fucking like sisters. And then you came home one day and you were like, I'm pregnant and I'm going to have this baby and I'm going to go live with Ivan. And I was just like,
Heartbroken, but it was the best thing that you ever did because you know you had Elijah So take me on that journey move in with Elijah are you moving with Ivan and have Elijah? It was really hard moving in with his family You know there was it was they say that everything was good and it doesn't matter But I think that because I was white, you know, we had some issues. Yeah, no culture is different and you know, I
Did what I could there. I was kind to everybody. I cooked, I cleaned. I was there for Ivan and our baby, but it just didn't, it didn't work out. As soon as I moved in, had the baby, I needed to get my own place. Yeah. You know? Yeah, we just, having Elijah kind of, we grew apart at that point. It was hard, you know? Because when you're that young, like I wanted to have Elijah, but he was having a hard time with it. He didn't want to like,
Settle down. Yeah, I mean you guys you know 18 so it changed later right later, you know, everything changed later Yeah, but it took a couple years and by then it was it was too late because we ended up moving out after Elijah was born and to our own place in the state streets again and Me and Ivan broke up within a year and then I didn't when did you and I move back in together? We got our little mini McMaster's we had our mansion Elijah was like what?
Yeah, he was like maybe two. I don't know. Because I remember you and Ivan had gone through your shit. And then, you know, I think you had started dancing, right? Yes. So you were like, what, 20, 21 when that happened? Yes. Or did you start dancing younger? I think...
I was working construction. Yeah, I remember that. I was working construction. This fucking crazy ass bitch. Yeah, I'm like, no, never. I was in the plasterers union. Okay, so I was doing that. Yeah, I remember that. The hottest fucking construction worker you've ever seen, though. Picture a bleach blonde fucking green eyed little senorita just fucking working her ass off in the plasterers union. It was crazy. I remember I was like, bitch, what are you doing?
I was making money. I was gonna be a boss one day. I was almost what, two years into the, almost done with my apprenticeship and I,
thought it was too many hours away from my kid you know so i said hey why don't i go dance you know i've never done it before i got this grand idea you know but in your defense in vegas that was like the thing to do back then because the girls it was different like now everybody fucking dances anybody and their mom can dance back then you had to be
a certain standard and it was impossible to get into some of those clubs. And I worked two, what, nights a week and made so much money and I could be home with my kid. And then I ended up starting to train and fight, you know? So we, we, we both started dancing together. I remember you came with me to get one of my paychecks one time and you're like, bitch, that's all you made in two weeks. You're like, I make that in one night. And I was like, you're way
I was like, get me out of this fucking desk job. And then we ended up dancing together. And then we moved into it with each other and got this like mini McMansion. Yes. I think it was the nicest house any of us had had at that time. I don't know how the fuck we landed that house, to be honest with you. We made money. And it was just like, we, you know, we're like.
but it was like such a cool thing because it literally was like the girl house. If you could picture like a sorority house, but with a bunch of bitches who love each other, that's what that house was like. And poor Elijah. And then poor Elijah. He was raised by like five women. Like it was uncle Viv, Katie, me, you, fuck it. And then like, you know, our boyfriends or whatever that would come around whenever I had a few. And then you had old, are we allowed to say his name or do we have to bleep it?
a flurry burry flurry burry okay we'll call him flurry we're not giving him no cred yeah so we had this house and it was just amazing and it was an amazing time and then i think i ended up getting with my ex bobby and we i wanted to move out with him and move in with him and his daughter and start my life and i think you and flurry burry
had wanted to like move in together. So we ended up, I think it was like two years that we were in that place, right? A year and a half, two years. So we ended up going kind of our separate ways this time to like start families of our own. Yes. And, but while we were in that house, something happened. Was it that house? No. Okay. So before we moved in,
To the mansion? Yeah. Okay, our mini mansion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was really weird because Tracy, Ivan's little sister, was over helping us. You, me, Elijah was upstairs sleeping. Yep. And I got this really weird feeling. I was actually on the phone with Flurry Burry. Yeah. Okay? Yeah. And he wouldn't get off the phone. I ended up hanging up on him. Elijah came down the stairs crying. He's a baby. Yeah. Something said, go upstairs. Okay.
We were moving into the place the next day. Everything was boxed up. We didn't have anything to protect ourselves. Nothing. I walk upstairs. There's a buff guy with a knife that big halfway through the window. Because he slit the screen. Yes. And he was so buff, he couldn't hardly get through. Yeah. Okay. On a second story. And he's trying to get in, trying to get in. This knife was huge. I found a candle.
I threw it at his head. Okay. Cracked him. Yep. He fell out of the window. Yeah. We called the cops. Well, I remember you came flying down the stairs and you're like, get out of the house, get out of the house. So I grabbed Elijah and we ran out in the front. And when we ran out in the front, the dude jumped off the fucking second story and fucking just took off. And he was dressed in all black. Yeah. And fucking, we were like, what the fuck is going on? And then when the cops came out, he had slit numerous screens trying to get in the house.
On the second floor. He tried Elijah's room first. Yes. And then he found our bathroom. It was so crazy. And I feel like it was maybe somebody who knew Elijah.
I think it was Flurry Burry doing something weird. Because you guys were beefing that night. You never know. Yeah. I mean, this is allegedly. Yeah, allegedly. But you just never know. You can't... He did a lot of weird shit. Yes, he did. He told me to carve a turkey with my teeth one time. He stole my cat, but that's another story, okay? And was running down the street with my cat. We got Flurry Burry stories for days, dude. Dude was a weirdo. The crazy part of that night is I remember feeling...
Like, wow, if this guy would have got in, we would have all been dead. Because you're not coming in with a big knife like that not to hurt people. And we were laying in bed and that Master Tati's commercial came on. I went down the next day and signed up because I wanted to know how to defend myself, even though I could fight.
street fight. I wanted to know how to defend myself. And I went and that was, you know, a turning point in my life. It took off like you. I did it with you, but I was more like, I'm going to be a model. I can't do this. And I had like braces and shit. And I was just like, I don't want to do this. But you took it so serious and it you fought professionally. And then that like kicked off your entire fighting career. So take me on that journey.
So I went down after that and I had trained maybe four, five months and then I got to fight at the Stardust. And that... You were training... Weren't you training with like Gina Carano and like all those girls or was that in the very... Did that come after? They came after. Okay, gotcha. Like I remember Ardra...
started doing it and that's how he had that little gym in rainbow yeah on rainbow yeah i remember so um yeah and it just alive yes oh he has gyms in thailand he's doing amazing oh he's such a sweet soul yes what a good human he changed my life he never hit on any of us either no he was not a perv no he was like a really good fucking dude and it's hard it's hard to have trainers after him because he brought out the best in me you know and he always told me you can do it
you have lion heart you know and that's stuff now when stuff gets hard you know in life and i can hear his voice in my head like you got this you know i wonder if he would work with you again oh yeah he would yeah he would get me a fight in thailand again like he would be all dude let's go to thailand i want to ride an elephant yeah i'm ready we'll get mama fight out there all the kids can fight it'll be like a family thing yeah video everything so you take me um to your first fight at the stardust was i there i can't remember yes you were i think i've been to all your fights
You were there. I think I even sang the national anthem at one. Yes, and you came out and you danced for one of my K-1s too, remember? No, I think I want to forget. That was awesome. Please, if anybody has video of that, don't ever upload it on the internet. Actually, no, do it. No, I want it because my tape got...
Taken. Somebody took it. Oh, Uncle Jerry was in on it. Remember? Didn't know. Yes. Uncle Jerry was dancing in between all of us and Chaz was on stage. Yeah, I remember. Yeah. And Mikey was mad. Yeah. Because he can't dance. I asked him. No, I said, dance with us. He said no. And then he saw the big show and then he was pissed he wasn't in on it. Mikey was always like that. We call Mikey Eeyore. He could have got all the love, but Uncle Jerry did it instead. Yeah. Uncle Jerry could cut a rug. Yeah, he could. Yeah, he could cut a fucking rug. Uncle Jerry used to be hot back in the day. Yeah.
Yes. He was. She's like, yeah, I guess. Even with that mullet. I mean, he's my uncle, but you know what I mean? I still got a thing for mullets. I love mullets. I think they're hot. So take me to your first fight at Stardust. What was that like getting in the ring? How did it feel? All the emotions? Oh, gosh. I mean, just training for that fight. The lady I fought was in her 40s. She was a lot stronger. She had been doing it, you know, a while. I don't think I was ready.
But mentally I was. Yeah. And I ended up winning. It was hard the way I grew up, you know, with no confidence and not believing in myself. I've struggled with that my whole life. And that fight changed me forever. You know, I knew that if I put the hard work in, I can do anything. And nobody can ever take that away from me. Yeah. No man...
no person, you know, anything coming against me, you know, God put that in me. Yep. You know, and that changed my life. It was a great experience, you know? Yeah. It was amazing. It was amazing to watch too. And during this time you were also doing Playboy.
Yes. Let's talk about that. I, uh, you guys can go look at Tasha's hooters online. Oh, those hooters are gone. I'm just letting you know, these are, we'll get to that. L natural. Yeah. We'll get to that. All sternum. Yeah. Okay. All rib cage over here. Yep. It's all. Yeah, but it's okay. But I look back on pictures and we'll talk about this more, but I look back on pictures when I had my breast implants. What the fuck was I thinking? My shit was huge. I look like
I don't know, matronly. It was horrific. I don't know. It's like they just were, that's all I was known for was these giant boobs. Yeah, they were so nice though. Your rack was, sorry to add. Yours were great too. Yeah, I mean, but yours- You know, I miss looking at them. No, yours were fucking just fantabulous. You know what I miss? Cleavage. Cleavage.
Yeah, me too. I miss like, you can like, you have cleavage. Mine aren't. I'm a straight athlete chest now. It's like, I've looked sometimes I'm like, Oh my God, I got my dad's chest. You know what I mean? Minus the hair. But, um, you know, I miss that cleavage. Yeah, I did too. I love the way fake boobs sit like up here. Yes. So let's talk about your Playboy, um, the whole stint that you did. Okay. So I went, um, for an audition. There was like 500 girls, um,
Two days in a row. Everybody and their grandma was there. Yeah. I ended up getting picked for special editions. I did like, I think I was in it 25 times. I did three covers. Got model of the year, I think, 04. You know, it helped my name. Yeah. I mean, did it... And back then, a lot of people were not fucking fighting and doing Playboy. I was the first one to be in Playboy first. Yeah. And then fight. So...
I mean, it was cool. Would I do it again? Uh...
Man, only fans. I'm just saying. I mean, the old Tasha would. Yeah. But I couldn't do it again. Every photo shoot when I was naked did not feel right. Aw. You know what I mean? It just... No, because I like being naked. Well, I do, but not for the whole world to see it. I get it. I mean, maybe I wouldn't put out my Ghibli bits, but... Yeah, it's a rack. I'm fine with that. I'm like this. What's up? You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I just wish that I would have...
not done that yeah you know not saying it's okay and women are beautiful and if you're out there doing that hey more power to you I just what you want at 40 is not what you want at 20. yes you know it's you think of these opportunities like oh my God this is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity which technically if you think about it you made history um you know because hef has passed away and Playboy is kind of like non-existent anymore so you were part of an era which I think is iconic
So give yourself credit for that. But I also understand that when you're, you know, 20 years old, you see stars and you're just like, oh my God, I want to be a part of this movement. And then when you're 40, you're like, you don't want your kids to see that shit. You know, I attracted a lot of negative things to my life by doing that. A lot of wrong relationships, attention that I didn't need. I just, I didn't like the person it made me.
You know, and it's like this ego started to grow that that girl that just had a simple mindset started to get egotistical. Well, we were also using a lot of drugs back then. Well, cocaine is a hell of a drug, right? We partook in a lot. Do you remember that one time I overdosed on glass at fucking Ben's house? Ben, the fucking paint huffer? Yeah.
Oh, we were just talking about me. My dad, we're just talking about him. Is he still alive? I, you know what? I just said that to my dad. Like I wondered, I don't know. Yeah. Because we were fucking dude. And that was before all that, before the fighting and all the, all the playboy shit and stuff like that. That was like, we had started partying at such a young age that as we got older, the problem with Vegas is, and I mean, I love Vegas. I'll always have a love for it because that's what, that was our hometown. But yeah,
Going to the bar and having 10 drinks and doing a fucking eight ball of cocaine as normal behavior every night. It's like if that's how in Vegas that's it's normalized. Yeah. So we thought this was just a lifestyle. We didn't think that it was a habit, you know, whereas I found out down the road later on that I had a fucking habit, you know, I don't know about you. Well, yeah. I mean, people were drinking and partying to my family and they were popping pills and it's like, you
Somebody was handing me a joint from a young age. And because of that, it caused me to have a problem. I thought it was normal. And then by the time I realized it wasn't, it was too late. I'm lucky to be alive. We are lucky to be alive. Oh, for sure. Because that was rough. Yeah. I couldn't imagine...
My kids doing that. We were just talking about that before the mics were going on. And I was like, I think that I think of how Bailey is 16 and how I had already been gone away from home for two years at her age. And it's fucking wild. And you know, it's like, I would never want her to have to go through what I went through, but it's just like a different generation type thing that we just really experienced so much so early on.
But I'm glad that we are where we are now because at least we found our way out of it. Yeah. Some people don't find their way out of it. And we can help people with our experiences. And that's, you know, that's what it's about. Sun exposure ages your skin and increases risk of skin cancer. You already knew this.
What you may not know is UV rays can deplete collagen, leaving your skin paper thin and potentially susceptible to skin cancer. So while doctors recommend sunblock to protect top layers of the skin, it is essential to protect your collagen. And a great way to do this is with a new super collagen booster called Radiance. While others offer only one type of collagen, Radiance.
Radiance is clinically advanced with five types of collagens and five different types of collagens is how Radiance can guarantee younger looking skin, fewer lines and wrinkles, as well as stronger hair and nails. Or you get your money back. It's a win-win situation. Bottom line, enjoy your summer. But remember, your sunscreen and super boost your collagen with Radiance.

This is, I've been waiting for this moment, my guy. You know, we said, you told me years ago, I'll never forget it. You told me one day we're going to laugh about him. And it was so hard to even think about that because I thought the pain would never go away. I thought I would never get away from him. Yeah. You know? Yeah. He, um...
came into my life, you know? Good looking dude. Good looking. Um, little rich boy. Yes. We were like East side trash and he was like green Valley rich. Yeah. Whatever. Well, he was looking for somebody to take care of him too. And you know, I put him through school. I helped him and he slowly started verbally abusing me. And then he started putting his hands on me. Um,
The worst beatings I've ever had my whole life have not been in a ring. It was from that man. He chipped my teeth. He freaking grabbed me one time, even on my chest, and squeezed so hard that it looked like my implant had popped. I had to go to the doctor. It was completely black. Left a handprint on me. I remember that. He threw me out of a car. You know, he did degrading stuff to me. You know, he...
got me on the ground was beat me up elijah had to jump on him when he was like five years old you know so my son had to see this man abuse me because i thought that that was normal dysfunction because the way i grew up and it wasn't and that is not normal you know yeah that was very hurtful
And it was crazy because from the outside looking in, you would think that you guys had the perfect relationship of what was going on because everything was like, you know, you guys had a beautiful house, drove nice cars. So again, you were in Playboy, you're fucking, you know, fighting in the ring and then behind closed doors. This is what's really going on. You are living an absolute nightmare. Yes. I don't know how many times I had to go over there because he was doing something fucking weird, man. Yeah.
This dude was so sick mentally that he would try to manipulate our friendship.
he would do outright lies to try to like break up. He said that I fucking sucked him off one time. Oh, he was hoping you would. I would never. But you know what I mean? That's the kind of person he was. He did it to everybody. He wanted to make me think that nobody was there for me and I had nobody on my side because that's what abusers do. Yeah. That's what they do. It was sick. Like there was no links that this man wouldn't go to to try to control you. Oh, yeah. And to get you alone and to like,
isolate you from everybody around you. And I remember thinking to myself, like we, I've got to get her out of this situation, but really nobody could get you out of that situation until you were ready to get out of that situation because it is so hard to leave an abusive relationship. Can we talk about what he did with your daughter? Yes. Because I feel like the world does not give mothers who have their children the
taken from them a fair chance. They always assume, oh, well, she deserved it. Oh, well, you know, she must be this or she must be that. And they don't ever really think that men can manipulate and try to use a child themselves to hurt the woman that they had a child with. Well, finally, when I got up enough courage and I knew that, hey,
either I'm going to end up dead or he is because by this time you know eight years into it nine years I'm fighting back right you know I'm gonna end up and he didn't like that no I when you would fight back he would cry like a little bitch the last time that I even seen him um we packed up the house Elena Maxwell was with me Elijah and he said you're not taking my kids out of this house I said yes I am I'm not by this time you had had a daughter with him yes I have Aspen okay she's 16 now
Aspen was what? Three years old. Yeah. And beautiful little girl looks just like Tasha. And this guy too was an all American wrestler. He was strong. I mean, it was not a fair fight at all, but he, I said, if you touch me again, I'm going to hit you like I would a stranger. You're not going to touch me again. And he shot in on me when he shot in on me. I stepped right head kick left, knocked him completely out, knocked his two front teeth out. Okay. That was the last time.
you know, he would ever put his hands on me. And I left. And with Aspen, you know, when we were getting a divorce, I had to stay in the state. If I left, I couldn't, you know, take her. So I left money, cars, house, everything. I didn't fight for anything. I let him keep everything. And I left. That's why I didn't have Aspen because I didn't want to fight anymore. I didn't have the strength. It was too much. It was taking everything from me.
I had lost myself. Yeah. You know, and at that time, Elijah's dad died. Right. We'll get into that too. So you're divorcing. You pretty much were just like, I just can't, I don't want to put Aspen through anymore. I just, I have to get out of here and just take Elijah and just go heal for a little bit. During this time, what happened with Elijah's dad? He got into a motorcycle accident on Halloween.
And he died. And I'll never forget the phone call because you called me and told me. Yeah, that was rough. So burying him, watching him in that casket changed me forever. That was it. Not his family shooting a music video at his funeral. Well, yeah, that was... Should we even talk about that? You were really upset about that. It just felt like it was never about him. The world is...
is not good without him you know he made the world better yeah you know you guys missed yeah he is very missed you guys might have not been able to see eye to eye but as he got older i feel like you guys started kind of coming around to each other yeah and like really trying to work on just your friendship and just raising elijah together
Yeah. So that was definitely, you know, probably one of your lows, man. You're going through this fucking divorce. You're just getting out of this abusive relationship. This man will not let you see your daughter has completely what he did to you. He has done to your daughter. Yeah. And she, you know, believes that we just up and left. I mean, Elijah just up and left her. Yeah. We didn't leave, you know, and the truth will always come out. Yeah. You know, it will come out like she'll know one day like he, you know,
He beat the crap out of me. I couldn't do it anymore. She's going to be 18 soon. Yes. So she can come see you whenever she wants. And Aspen, if you're listening to this, reach out to me. Reach out to anybody. You're more than always welcome to open up communication with your mom. If I can help, I will. And you are loved. You were never abandoned. You were always wanted. And there's not one day that goes by that I don't think about you or wish I could hug you and be your mom. I love you. I love you too.
I know that was probably one of the hardest things, most painful things you've had to deal with, you know. But I believe God will restore our relationship. He will. And I know that because I hear this podcast and I see relationships restored in my life, you know, and I know that he always comes through and I have faith.
For sure. Has Flurryberry tried to reach out to you at all? No, I blocked Flurryberry a long time ago. I think he tried to reach out to me one time, right? Yes, he did. And I was like, look at this motherfucker. I know. Creep. Yeah. You know, I forgive him. I don't. You know, I will never forget the years he cost me with my daughter. But I forgive him because he was abused too.
And he is broken. And that's why he treated me the way he did. And I knew he was. And that's why that happened. You know, we're all a product of something, you know, and I forgive him.
but I will never forget. Well, it's very big of you because I don't. It's crazy because I'll forgive people for hurting me, but I don't forgive people for hurting my friends. I don't. Ever. Like, I'll hold that motherfucking grudge till the wheels fall off. I love it. So moving on from this, you know, tragic situation with Aspen, where do you go from here? You're all by yourself. You are back on your own. No money, no cars, no nothing. Well, I show up.
with the PT Cruiser, funeral clothes, me and my son at my mom's doorstep. And you know, me and my mom never really, you know, she would come and visit, you know, she would go back home, but our relationship
was not there at this point. So here I am, she's like, what the hell are you doing here at my doorstep with your kid, funeral clothes? And she has this little apartment, you know, and that's where the healing process would begin, where God would rebuild me
my mind, body and spirit and just take me on this journey. There was still a couple more bumps in the road, I tell you, but yeah, and I just, it was Elijah had to get his mind clear. And yeah, it was rough. So you move back in with your mom, you start healing. Are you still fighting during this time? No. At this time, I started kind of not feeling good. When I would train,
My body would feel broke down. I had a lot of brain fog. I had all these weird symptoms that would start to get worse like every year, you know. But I did know. Like I would go to the doctor and they said, oh, you're depressed. Here, you need some antidepressants. Oh, you hurt. Here's some pain pills. Did you ever get on antidepressants? I took some heavy duty stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
I feel like they always make you feel worse. Oh, yeah. Some people they work for. And they don't work on me. Yeah. They made me more mean. Yeah. You know, because I didn't need that. Right. You know. So, yeah, I was taking pain pills. I was taking antidepressants. I was taking a little bit of everything. Yeah. And I was drinking off and on, you know. It was a slow process. It took years to get to where I am right now. Yeah. You know.
I know for sure. So you started having brain fog, you weren't able to train and then you found out what? Well, I didn't find out for years. I still would train, you know, I would get ready for a fight. It wouldn't go through, you know, I'm still trying to pull everything together with Elijah, um, and get him through school. You know, by the time high school hit, I really didn't have too much energy for it. You know, it was just slowly. I would stay more days in bed. It was so hard, you know? Um,
One thing after another. When did you find out that you had breast implant illness? You know, I ended up moving back to Vegas. This is like we're skipping when I had the little kids, my little babies. Oh, shit. Let's talk about that. Okay. I thought you found out after them. Okay. So yeah. So no, this was like gradually just every year getting worse. This is where you and I kind of lost. I don't know what I was doing. So who knows? I end up going to a church out there in Chico.
Going to a church? Yes, this church out there where, you know. Church boys. I had this young man chasing me around for a year. Strapping young lad. And I'm like, no, no, no, no. Well, one day, you know, I ended up, he broke me down and I said yes. And I ended up getting pregnant with my little Brooklyn Rose. And that was eight years ago. Wow, I can't believe she's eight already. Yes, yes.
Well, then, you know, we end up getting married. And on my wedding night, I got pregnant again. Oh, son of a bitch. With twins. The gruesome twosome. Sydney and Cross. Okay. Biggest blessings of my life. Well, anyways, he was on good behavior and he did well. You know, we're going to go to school and be pastors and then run a gym. This was the goal. And all of a sudden, he takes off. Alcohol, drugs, you know, took him away. You know, he struggles.
Um, I ended up moving back to Las Vegas. I get a, me and my mom and the kids. Um, I get a job for a bare knuckle promotion. I have to go to Crystal Lake, Illinois. And I had somehow, and I remember all this now. Yes. So I moved there. We put on the fights and this promotion doesn't pay any of the fighters. They moved me and my family out there.
We end up like getting evicted from this place. I have nowhere to go. They didn't even give one truck full of my stuff. They took my mom's furniture, all of our stuff. Like it was some shady shit. Okay. And right then, like that was me getting even more sick. I think the stress of everything, I got so sick. I couldn't see out of my left eye. Like all this crazy stuff was happening. Okay. Yeah.
When I'm out there, I'm at this gym where I meet this lady that was an advocate for breast implant illness. I realized I was sick. I end up getting my explant and...
i get better right away yeah right when i wake up i can see like it was it was a hard battle it took me five years to get healthy again but i mean doctors don't diagnose breast implant illness unless you go in and you're like hey i have breast implant illness because i never got diagnosed with it either i think i explained it right before you and i had never been diagnosed with it either but my health was so up dude i'm talking like
It was weird. My anxiety was through the roof. I was tired all the time. Like it was just so bad. So I don't ever know if I had BII, but I know that when I took my implants out, there was shit floating in my implants. Oh yeah. Yeah. It was weird. It was so scary. Yeah. People don't talk about, um, ex planning as much as they should. And it's hard, you know, let's talk about the physical aspect of ex planning. A lot of women, you know,
it's so hard to go from having these big luxurious bodacious boobs that are like perfect and they sit great and then you get them taken out and all of a sudden you like have you know a couple I don't know if you did the the lollipop yeah um you know you have scars that you have to look at and your boobs don't sit as high and it's just kind of like you know it takes a long time to be able to fall in love with yourself again yeah after having an explant yeah it does um
I like looking at myself better now because it feels like me. Yeah. It's my body. It's the way I was, you know, I was meant to be. I like my butt a lot more now because I'm like, I didn't need those. Look at that booty. You always had a good ass. But I was like, you know, I'm starting to look at everything else that I have, you know, like the boobs don't make me, you know, and I had to realize that, you know, because honestly, like, you know,
we're getting older. Yeah. Things are changing. Mm-hmm. But I know I'm a good person. I know I'm gonna always take care of myself. Yeah. And I know I have love for others. So I started to love myself. Mm-hmm.
You know, I didn't need that. I thought I needed that to be beautiful. Right. You know, as you get older, you kind of like you stop focusing so much on looks. Yeah. You know, it's like you get to a point where you're just like, even though I get work done and stuff like that, it's not that I'm not comfortable with myself. It's just that I like to maintain myself. Yes. I'm the one doing the maintaining. Well, you're also under the
spotlight right you know what i mean exactly but you know it's as you get older you just kind of get to a point where you're just like you know what people are gonna love me for me or they're not yeah you take care of yourself that's it you know yeah yeah where are the twin where's the kid's dad now is he still an addict he's somewhere yes he's somewhere in california
You haven't talked to him? Like, no, nothing? No, I have to let that one go. Oh, shit. You know, I gotta just... Son of a bitch. You know? I can't let that one resurface. Yeah, please don't. No, I wish I always... Please don't. It might end up in another set of trends. You know, I wait... Yeah, no, no, no. I'm staying away from everyone. Are you having any more kids? Oh, hell no. I hope not.
I got enough. And I took in my little cousin, my four-year-old little cousin, Rain. She was going to go to the state and I'm adopting her. I got custody of her. So you have another niece. Oh my goodness. So you got six kids from now. I got a fucking good Lord. Yeah. I need to just take one of yours. Take them all. Take them all. I'll take it for like two hours. Yeah. Get the herd. Oh, these ones are high fee, but I'm, I'm serious. They, they changed my life big time. And, um,
They're just, they're amazing. I love that. You've always been a good mama. You have always been just, you know, you've always wanted to take care of somebody and just love them and have them love you unconditionally. And I feel like children gave that to you. Yeah, they filled my heart. You know, I don't have that void anymore. And I feel like God gave me what I needed. You know, I have structure. I do, you know, I think about them. It keeps me on the straight and narrow. Like I think about them.
And they're just like me. They love fighting. Okay. They're my little gym rats. They like, they love 80s movies. Like it's everything that I like, they like. I love that. They're like a throwback. I love that. That is so cute. It's so much fun. I just, I love my little life. My mom's helping me raise them. My mom is by far the,
My rock. I know. You know, she stepped up. She didn't have to. She could be off with some rich guy living the life. I mean, she's a hottie. She's always loved you, though. And always just wanted. She shows me how much she loves me every day. She's the best grandmother ever. Yeah. You know, and then I got my dad who has came through huge.
Boy in the house. And he's a great grandfather. Yeah. And he's a great dad. Isn't it crazy how they're better grandparents than they were parents? I'm jealous a little. I know, right? Sometimes you're like, son of a bitch. This episode is sponsored by Autotrader. Credit scores, down payments, interest rates.

You've gone through so much healing. You have just worked on yourself. And now you're ready to fucking come back on the scene with a vengeance, baby. Yes. Let's go. Yes, I need to do this one for me. I want to see how I do in that ring with no distractions. Okay.
nothing holding me back and me being healthy a hundred percent, you know, cause I was fighting with those implants in my body and it does cause issues. Yeah. You know, it does. I just want to see how I'm going to do now. I had called Tasha because you know, when you, in the fighting world, 44 is, is kind of an older age to be fighting. Yes. And I had called Tasha and I had brought this to her. I was like, Hey man, I'm going to support you in whatever you want to do. But yeah,
Why are we doing this? And she said, I need to do it for me. And I was like, you know what?
Say less. I understand. Yes. You know, because I'm the same way. If I have to do something for me, if it's an itch I gotta scratch, I'm gonna fucking do it and nobody's gonna tell me I can and I can't do it. Yes. So you have a fight coming up out here in Nashville. Yes. Yes. You've been training. I've been training. Yeah, I'm at this gym in Crystal Lake, this little gym who has so much knowledge, though. I have an amazing coach, Dylan, and Sensei Oscar, and they...
They know a lot. Yeah. You know? And I teach a kids program out of there. I coach adults. I have a little fight team. You know, we're doing big things. But I've been training this whole time. Yeah. So now I'm ready. And I'm going to be fighting Nashville for Ramon.
Arlano, I believe it is, at San Jose. What is that? Fiesta restaurant? Yeah. It's the 23rd. May 23rd. Oh, so it's coming up soon. Yes. Son of a bitch. Are we here? Can we check the schedule? Yeah. Huh? Okay. Okay. So it's Arlano Boxing and this amazing promoter has given me a chance. You know, because when you're older, people try to, you know,
but uh yeah yeah we're gonna make it happen I love it and I think you're gonna fucking kick ass who's your opponent do you know yet um Camille Cason I don't know she's tough she's a tough girl it'll be a good first fight for me it's my pro boxing debut at 44 years old I love it so um
Yeah, you know, if you put your mind to something, you can do it. And I'm not, I don't have so many fights to where I'm beat up. I'm not. You know, I haven't had a lot of wars. And I've had time off. I've healed. I've, you know, I'm stronger now. You know this. My body, I'm a late bloomer. At 44, I'm more muscular and more developed as an athlete than I ever was in my 20s. I mean, the woman I am today would have just...
ate the girl in my 20s like yeah there was no way she would have a shot it's a different mindset too yeah and I'm it's just like warrior mindset too I'm in it I'm fighting for my family like you know you're not gonna take this from me I'm gonna take it yeah you know and I feel like I can put five years in build my name and
You know? Yeah. You know what I want to do with my life. So I'm excited. I'm trying to convince Tasha to move to Nashville so that she can open up her gym here and just, you know, I can make sure everything just runs smoothly. I've always told you since we were kids, I'm like, Tasha, let me manage you.
I think now that we're old and she sees I've accomplished some shit on my own, she's like, okay, yeah. You were always a businesswoman. Come on now. I'm like, listen, you come up with it, we're going to do it. Okay? I trust you. I got you, baby. She was a businesswoman and the bodyguard too. Yeah. You guys need to know that. Yeah. It's crazy because I get so much hate online. They're like, Bunny, you know, everybody knows me as Bunny. They're like, Bunny doesn't fight. Bunny doesn't know how to fight. And I'm just like, bro, you don't know where the fuck we came from.
Bunny does. And listen, if she shows up with that Michael Jackson glove on, that little leather black glove, somebody's getting knocked out. She's got like a Stockton style, like a Diaz style boxing. And you don't see it because she'll smile. She'll turn and she'll look at you and she'll smile and then crack. And it's got like a little snap back and...
down. Yeah. But I, I don't do that now because I have a lot to lose. So, but back in the day, yes. So nobody get froggy at any of the shows. They'll be like, Oh yeah, bet. Let's fucking run up on her. Um, Tasha, I love you so much and I am really excited to see what the future holds. And I really hope that you come out this way because Nashville has done something for me.
um, that I never thought was possible. And I've been here for eight years and it has healed so much inside of me. Getting out of Vegas was the best thing I could have ever done. And this place is like, you want to raise babies here, you know, like it is just such a cool place.
to be from and to say like I live in Nashville, I feel like it's an honor. And ask me this fucking seven years ago, I'd have been like, I'm a West Coast bitch. Fuck that, blah, blah, blah. But no, I'm not. I'm from the West Coast, but my heart belongs in Nashville. And I really hope that you can come here and experience that too. So I'm going to try to talk you into that.
Thank you so much. Thank you for having me on your show. Thank you for always being a big part of my life. Thank you for being my friend, my best friend, and my sister. I love you, man. Always. So my best memories are with you, and there's more to come. Oh, no. We're going to have you on a Q&A one day where we can just talk about stupid shit, and it'll be hilarious. We'll talk about some of our fucking childhood stories. But if you guys want to see Tasha fight, I don't know when this is going to drop. When is this going to drop? Should we drop it before the...
Can we drop it next week? If you guys want to see Tasha fight May 23rd, come out. I'll be there. I'm going to talk Jay into going. I know he'll want to go because Jay loves fighting. Okay.
