00:00Chuck, what's wrong?
00:01Dude, I'm dragging.
00:02Do you have any more of those five-hour energy shots?
00:04Yeah, in fact, they hooked us up with a promo code.
00:06I was able to get, like, 50% off a second pack when I bought one,
00:09so I got you a bunch.
00:10Dude, where are they?
00:11Right next to you.
00:12They've been there for weeks.
00:13Oh, wow.
00:14Wow.
00:23Okay.
00:24A man lived as a nun for 22 years.
00:32I get it.
00:33That's the craziest thing.
00:34It'd be crazy to walk by, like, a group of nuns.
00:36I'd be like, I think that one had a beard.
00:39Well, when you see the picture.
00:43Oh, boy.
00:45I mean, oh, my.
00:46For 22 years, Frank Tavares was successfully able to live as a nun
00:51in the Dominican Republic.
00:54He was known as Nunman.
00:57Okay, so they did know he was a man.
00:59Here's what happened.
01:00He was placed in the care of nuns at the age of four
01:03after his parents passed away.
01:06Oh, wow.
01:07Oh, wow.
01:08Really dark.
01:09What?
01:09Tell me.
01:10No, no.
01:10As a young boy.
01:12Mm-hmm.
01:13He was.
01:13His genitals were so small.
01:16Yeah.
01:16He had trouble finding them.
01:19Okay.
01:20See?
01:20Chuck can relate.
01:21Yeah, I get it.
01:23Give me one of those hats.
01:25You're a nun, man.
01:28Give me a hat.
01:30I don't know what they're called.
01:30So they raised him as a girl at the convent.
01:34Hey, my goodness.
01:36Because of his undetectable genitals.
01:38There was nothing there?
01:39It looked like a Taurus.
01:42It was just a Taurus.
01:43Yeah, it was like a mini Taurus.
01:44It wasn't until the age of seven that his genitals finally had a growth spurt.
01:51Oh, thank God for that.
01:52And he realized he was a boy, but he continued to live as a girl to avoid being cast out because
01:59that's all he knew then.
02:00Oh, yeah.
02:01I'm waiting for that growth spurt.
02:02He was doing everything in his power to conceal his true gender identity because he went by
02:09Sister Margarita.
02:11They couldn't give him a better name than Sister Margarita.
02:12That's a tough name, too.
02:14I mean, it sounds like a gay drag performer.
02:19Please welcome Sister Margarita.
02:28I mean, that's what it sounds like.
02:29Like, I made it up myself.
02:33What's your name?
02:33You're like, Sister Margarita.
02:36I think I'm going to go with Sister Margarita.
02:40Sister Margarita.
02:46It does.
02:47That's what it seems like.
02:48There she is.
02:49Please welcome Sister Margarita.
03:02She's a beautiful.
03:03God, he's a gorgeous.
03:07He is what a sexy bitch.
03:11Yeah, man.
03:13That's wild.
03:14Yeah, but as many tourists.
03:16That's cool about his growth spurt.
03:18Oh, that's the best news I've heard.
03:21Thank God for a growth spurt.
03:23So, again, in order to not be kicked out of the convent, he went along with the whole
03:27Sister Margarita thing.
03:28He never bathed in front of the other ladies.
03:31He only wore boxer-style panties.
03:34He faked his periods.
03:37Whoa, dude.
03:37How you do that?
03:38Don't got to do that.
03:39You got to cut your hand.
03:40And he wore oversized dresses.
03:46Two decades later, finally, his cover was blown.
03:50Sister Margarita!
03:52He's a man.
03:54How are you?
03:58I am a Sister Margarita.
04:02I thought you were a lady.
04:03It turns out I have been a-lying to you.
04:09And to myself.
04:11So then, two decades later, his cover was blown.
04:14He was forced to leave the convent.
04:15And then he finally started living like a man.
04:19Now, it's also worth noting that during his time as a nun, he managed to get one new nun
04:25pregnant.
04:26How are you?
04:26Oh, I'm a Sister Margarita.
04:28She knew.
04:29She figured it out.
04:33Yeah.
04:33Today, at the age of 73, as you see there, he now works as a tailor.
04:38He uses the seamstress skills he learned as a nun.
04:41That's the craziest story I've ever heard in my life.
04:43Isn't that nuts?
04:44That's crazy.
04:45That is crazy.
04:46That's wild.
04:46Somebody had to be like, I think that nana looks a lot like a Richard Belzer.
04:51What's up with that?
04:52Spitting, Amish.
04:53I mean, he was a homely nun with a mustache.
04:58But maybe some nuns do have a mustache.
05:00Some nuns probably do have facial hair.
05:02Because they're probably not allowed to groom to like it.
05:05I don't know.
05:06The vanity thing, right?
05:07I don't know about that.
05:09I don't know the nun rules over there.
05:10I don't know either.
05:11Can we hear from him?
05:12Because I wonder if his voice is like Sister Margarita that you're doing.
05:18This isn't him.
05:20I'll let you know when he starts talking here.
05:21But he lived as a religious woman.
05:24Here he comes.
05:27Oh, you're right.
05:29You're right.
05:30Hi, how are you?
05:32Hi, I'm Sister Margarita.
05:33I wonder if he, because he talked like that for so long, he just now.
05:38Maybe.
05:38You think it's because he's a minisaur?
05:40Think about what makes your voice right.
05:43Yeah, I think you nailed it.
05:45My penis and the balls are so tiny.
05:52Oh, yeah.
05:54No, that's it.
05:59Is it probably easy for him?
06:01Well, I mean, it's terrible stuff, but.
06:09What a crazy show.
06:13That guy's like, so crazy, right?
06:15Yeah.
06:17Yeah.
06:17I got to be honest with you.
06:19I have a ponytail.
06:21I don't understand this at all.
06:24Wow.
06:25I don't know.
06:26Yeah, I mean, he's got like some genetic stuff.
06:29There's some stuff up there.
06:33Ah, you don't want a mini-tourist.
06:35No.
06:35I don't.
06:36I mean, unless.
06:37But it grew and he got someone pregnant, right?
06:39Yeah.
06:40Yeah, he definitely got it in there somehow.
06:43That's crazy.
06:43One of those other sisters was like,
06:44she's the margarine.
06:47But I'm going to let me.
06:49I am going to hump on you.
06:51So weird.
06:53Yep.
06:53That is weird stuff.
06:55His love story with that nun, Sylvia,
06:58ended when she left for the United States
06:59after he decided to end their relationship
07:01so he could keep his sanity.
07:03He never met their child,
07:05but he still considers that woman the love of his life.
07:07Well, he had one love, so.
07:10I tend to Jesus.
07:12I'm sure she doesn't tell anyone that story, huh?
07:14Yeah.
07:14No, no.
07:15She had a baby with the lady.
07:16That's crazy.
07:16The man nun.
07:17Yeah, the man nun.
07:19My father was a man nun.
07:23Named Sister Margarita.
07:25He's in a podcast store right now
07:27talking about how little his genitals were growing up.
07:31Your life story is crazy.
07:34He's got the voice of a cartoon mouse.
07:36Is it true that your papa
07:40had a small balls,
07:44as Lisa Way called him,
07:45small balls?
07:47He was like a Taurus.
07:48Oh.
07:50The Taurus?
07:51Yes.
07:52Mini Taurus.
07:52My father,
07:53the man nun,
07:54Sister Margarita.
07:57My mother had a sex with him.

07:59I have a question,
08:00it's a little personal.
08:03Was your mother
08:04into just like a more manly women?
08:07And he pull a fast one?
08:10I don't know.
08:11I think she just opened her heart.
08:14The Sister Margarita man nun,
08:16my father.
08:17He's a very attractive man.
08:19He's on a podcast tour right now.
08:24He's a mustache of make a,
08:26not a much saint.
08:27He grew up,
08:28right?
08:28So that's the son of the man nun.
08:31Yeah.
08:32Yep.
08:32That's his story.
08:33Don't ask me about my father.
08:36You want to know?
08:37Yes.

09:07My father,
09:08Sister Margarita.
09:08Did he come up with the name?
09:10Is he still known as Margarita?
09:13That's not even right,
09:14Sister Margarita.
09:15My God.
09:19Oh, yikes.
09:20Okay.
09:21His real name, though,
09:22is Frank?
09:23Yeah.

09:26Frank Tavares?
09:28Yeah.
09:28That's his real name.
09:29That's just Frank.
09:30That's what I said.
09:30That was when my father, Frank,
09:32became Sister Margarita.
09:34Right.
09:34I mean,
09:35so when you're a nun,
09:35they just give you a name?

09:45My name isn't Frank.
09:46What do you want to call me?

10:03He was amazing at sewing.
10:08He made all their uniforms
10:09and all of their clothing
10:11and their hats.
10:13When he became Frank again,
10:15he became a tailor
10:17in the local city.
10:18He is a 73.
10:20I have a much deeper voice
10:23than my father.

11:15who was like,

11:20and he was putting that off.
11:22No, I think the jig was up.

11:59I was a nun
12:02and then I look like Anthony Bourdain.
