00:03
The bathroom. But the season,
00:05
that's why it's new dance moves.
00:12
New season, new studio.
00:15
Did you see the studio in that frame?
00:17
It sounds different. It does sound different.
00:19
But guys, welcome back to Lincoln Bio.
00:22
I'm Jenny Alejandro. And we have a very special show for
00:27
we're gonna be chatting about Sequels and why Millennials love them.
00:32
I do have a good sequel.
00:34
and Era Penan brother.
00:38
You already know Olympics are also getting hot.
00:44
You'll see what we mean.
00:45
Hm. And we're also talking with Professor Le about our
00:48
conflicted history with the fourth of July.
00:51
And then on the flip side,
00:53
we're gonna get some new dishes to try out for the barbecue
00:57
Martin Rizzo and George Wayne Junior.
00:59
Talk about Can Asada etiquette as well as being the honorary Latino
01:03
invited to this Can Asada.
01:04
Yes, let's get into it.
01:09
Sorry about that. Y'all.
01:11
but that means it's time to start the show and there we
01:13
go as part of a wide ranging effort to make the Olympics
01:22
more ecofriendly Paris 2024 organizers said the Olympic village that houses athletes
01:28
will be constructed without air conditioning.
01:31
Damn with how hot it is,
01:33
dude. Like right now at this moment is freaking,
01:37
oh Seri Los Los A this some shit.
01:42
Rho desantis would approve fo sister.
01:45
That's facts. And you know what?
01:47
It's crazy because Paris 2024 is actually predicted to be the hottest
01:51
Olympics in history. So obviously people are concerned,
01:54
leading athletes and scientists warn that the extreme weather conditions could pose
02:00
severe risks, including the potential for competitors to collapse or even
02:05
face fatal consequences. So to all those Olympians,
02:10
this is what you're going to need,
02:13
what they got to do to stay cool.
02:15
Well, first and foremost,
02:18
my parents, they gave me some advice whenever I asked them
02:21
to turn on the air conditioning.
02:23
First off, they say get it Murata Mucho Dro and then
02:28
they'll tell me Abre La Ventana.
02:44
If it's hot at night,
02:45
I wet myself a little,
02:49
I go in the shower with my P named Papo.
02:52
Like I let myself get off a little bird of bath.
02:55
Yeah, I get soaked and I go back into bed.
03:00
Mojada. And then me while I'm asleep.
03:03
I don't know, I've never been,
03:05
you can wet yourself or you can get one of these bad
03:07
boys right here. Let me give you a little breakdown.
03:10
So you get one of these oscillating fans,
03:14
right? And you tie some cold water bottles to it.
03:18
Asos chupa light it and then Frio loss.
03:23
That's, that's my science is science.
03:26
So cold water or something cold sucks the air.
03:30
Do you, do you feel cold,
03:32
sister? I actually do.
03:34
I I it is fresh air.
03:36
But dude, can we just talk about how Latinos were just
03:38
innovators? The science.
03:41
I don't know, but the water is dripping on this guy
03:43
So let me figure this out and while we do that
03:52
let's go to the next story.
03:53
Don't touch it. Yeah,
03:56
let's move on. Hollywood is making a comeback with Sequels like
04:03
Freaky Friday two and Donkey from the Shrek series aiming straight for
04:09
millennials pockets. I mean,
04:13
my ass is going to show up brother because,
04:15
you know, I'm intrigued,
04:16
those were two classics.
04:17
But is it really necessary to make remakes of these?
04:23
I hate when they do a new cast completely,
04:26
you know, when they do remakes and they completely like do
04:29
a new cast? I hate that shit.
04:31
You know what I hate more though when like they remake,
04:33
they get a whole new cast.
04:35
But the old guy actually used to play the characters in the
04:38
movie somehow. Like you see he's there,
04:40
it's like, don't fucking leave him out of it or don't
04:44
oh, like he's a car wash guy now.
04:45
It's like, you know,
04:46
like, and it's kind of like,
04:48
oh my God, that was the original.
04:49
But it's like, who gives a fuck?
04:52
So it's kind of funny because like you said,
04:53
they know we're gonna show up but there's some movies that need
04:57
we're dying for more of the story and there's some that we
05:02
let's see how many more,
05:03
how many Toy Stories do we have?
05:04
How many more Toy Story do we need?
05:06
There's so many stories.
05:07
It's a collection of stories at this point.
05:11
He has kids. Not probably like,
05:13
bro, he's gonna be like,
05:14
you know, we looking at like cemetery plots like Toy Story
05:18
bro, he's getting older and he keeps going back to that
05:21
story. And then what else?
05:23
Jurassic Park? It's now Jurassic world.
05:26
What's next? Sister Jurassic universe,
05:27
Jurassic universe, Jurassic,
05:30
I don't know. Let's see what movies do we need to
05:33
remake up? I feel like we're in need of some that
05:35
the story needed. We want more.
05:37
Which one do you think?
05:39
I feel like we need more rush hour.
05:42
Jackie Chan and Chris stuff.
05:43
You like, we need that comedy back like that dynamic duo
05:46
and then look fast and The Furious.
05:47
I know we're like 11 in but we need the OG like
05:51
I'm down for more fast and The Furious but make it like
05:53
about the racing. I like,
05:54
I gotta stop you there.
05:56
I'm fucking done with that.
05:56
And they went too far.
05:59
It's fucking ridiculous at this point.
06:01
I'm just like, dude,
06:02
fucking cannons and shit.
06:03
I'm like, get out of here.
06:05
I miss the OG when it was realistic.
06:08
But one movie that I would like to see a remake of
06:13
or like just a sequel is The Hangover.
06:16
I fucking love hangover movies.
06:17
I need it. I need it.
06:19
The hangover is Yeah,
06:21
that one but fast and The Furious.
06:26
No, but like one of the OG is like,
06:27
don't touch this movie that we all have one.
06:32
don't fuck with the mask guys like it's done that shit.
06:36
Cuban P You can't fuck with Cuban P like it's done.
06:41
What do you guys think?
06:41
Are we done with remix and Sequels or are you still gonna
06:44
watch, man? Its Copa America has brought back some bad
06:51
memories, sister. Have you been watching that?
06:55
You haven't been watching?
06:56
Well, some games as you know we lost to Zuelle.
06:59
We missed some clear shots and an anniversary is coming up 2014
07:03
I don't know if you remember World Cup,
07:06
you know where I'm going with this damn no era but it
07:11
wasn't, it wasn't till this day.
07:15
It's the 10 year anniversary of the Nora Penal Day that will
07:19
live in infamy. This guy wait over here,
07:24
Rafael Marquez was, you know,
07:26
playing defense people. Some people say no era Cito,
07:30
but as we know Mexicans are still,
07:34
it still hurts. Look at how dramatic that is.
07:37
I, that's the effect.
07:41
Oh my God, that's all,
07:42
that's me. When I see a Cucaracha or something or like
07:46
a spider like a spider.
07:49
Where were you when this happened?
07:51
Do you remember? Yes,
07:52
I was actually at my Tio's house in PICO Rivera and I
07:56
remember he would invite us over for the games and his wife
08:01
Maia, she would make Pozole.
08:02
It was nice. You know,
08:03
it was fun. I think it was like it was like
08:05
a morning or an afternoon game from what I remember.
08:09
I don't know. A b but this is not a blur
08:13
So when this happened and my uncle got so mad he
08:18
grabbed the, it was a molo bottle glass like the beer
08:24
pass. He threw it on the floor.
08:25
He was pissed. I even think it's mano and shit.
08:33
it was crazy. What about you?
08:37
they're going to overturn this.
08:39
No, it's clearly not.
08:41
But no, the game went,
08:43
kept going. We were out of the World Cup until this
08:46
day. I even see it on trucks like some trucks like
08:49
las Tros. I see like,
08:51
you know the car stickers.
08:52
Noe penal. There was a truck with the Noa penal on
08:56
the like that honestly.
09:01
Yeah, that's a day of trauma.
09:02
But Los Mexicanos, I'm sorry,
09:04
guys like our Mexico team Soos Paran.
09:09
And that's what I would say.
09:10
That's what my dad said.
09:18
dude. There's like this saying that I always hear.
09:20
It's like Juga Comon Pero como.
09:23
It's like it's so true.
09:24
It's like we, we give it all,
09:26
But we still end up coming up short on the fourth of
09:31
July. We look at Can Asadas ques firework,
09:35
que thoses pool parties.
09:36
But as a Mexican American as a Chicano here in the States
09:40
I feel like there's some kind of like back and forth
09:42
on the whole celebrating of America.
09:44
So we have a very good friend of ours,
09:47
Professor Jorge and Leia from Uuc Riverside.
09:50
He's gonna break it down for us.
09:51
Give us your take on this because like I said,
09:53
as growing up here in the States mexican-american now nowadays,
09:58
we're not going to celebrate that.
09:59
We don't celebrate that.
10:00
I'm like you kind of do but you don't like what,
10:03
what's your take on that?
10:07
we have had this me,
10:09
I think Mexicans as we call it an Academia Mexican Americans and
10:12
but also other Latinas.
10:13
I mean, it has always been that that conflict are
10:17
we really part of the US or we're just like brought
10:22
And that has been an unsolvable questions ever since the for
10:28
what is now the American Southwest,
10:30
the trad offer citizenship to people that would say that were of
10:35
Mexican descent that was pretty generous at a moment of slavery,
10:37
yet it has never been fully extended.
10:40
So that has in some ways,
10:42
we're definitely integrating the labor market.
10:47
culture and society, that's still an ongoing process of quote unquote
10:52
assimilating of being incorporated into the US.
10:54
That has been the case historically,
10:56
but different Mexican organizations,
10:58
mutual organizations and their political organization,
11:00
just like neighborhood organizations that would have fourth of July celebrations
11:05
parades. And there was a time that people would say
11:08
we're just as American with our Frijoles as apple pie because we
11:13
thought that that was the,
11:14
the way to to be part of this country to assimilate
11:18
we have seen that that has had limited success.
11:22
we continue to be part of this nation regally,
11:25
I think because we are not fully accepted.
11:28
I feel again we like some parts of it.
11:29
But yeah, so kind of,
11:31
I feel like a gray area.
11:33
Is there any important like celebrations or people we can honor
11:36
tied to the Fourth of July from our heritage and our backgrounds
11:40
the millions of people that labor,
11:42
the working class folks,
11:44
people that don't get to have Fourth of July.
11:47
Right? Because they're serving people's food,
11:50
still keeping the economy going.
11:52
it's not like the collective of,
11:55
One of the significance of four to all the veterans,
11:57
there were Mexican American veterans in World War one.
12:01
That's kind of more on the,
12:02
you know, civic militaristic part.
12:04
But then who do we celebrate?
12:05
I mean, the collective of us,
12:07
of the people working in this holiday?
12:10
I mean, regardless of no,
12:13
Denying the impact of the Mexican American and the Latin community in
12:17
the United States. Again,
12:18
like this country is built by so many different upbringings.
12:21
This is a big melting pot whether again,
12:23
sometimes it doesn't feel like it,
12:25
there's no denying that.
12:26
Again, our impact is there.
12:27
Do you feel like you kind of touched on it already?
12:29
But do you feel the way that Chicanos can celebrate this or
12:32
like differently or do you think we should just kind of stick
12:35
to our American roots and follow the,
12:37
again, the cheesy old navy shirts,
12:39
the fireworks, the the grilling.
12:41
Like what do you think?
12:43
Look a day off is a day off?
12:45
I wish, I think that it's a great opportunity to be
12:49
able to take stock on,
12:51
you know, where we are in this society,
12:53
right? And it's never been the assimilation belonging has never been
12:57
like a fully complete process if you were to talk to people
12:59
in the fifties, they were saying like we are on our
13:02
way and then in the seventies they were like,
13:04
no. Right. And I think that in,
13:06
we can see that in their play in,
13:08
in our generation. That's so true.
13:10
Well, Jorge, before I let you go,
13:12
where can people find you and follow your work?
13:13
Well, I, I run I curate an AO around
13:18
Latina youth cultures called roach.
13:21
So that on Instagram also,
13:22
you can find me on my UCR website,
13:25
Jorge Nicolas de.com and that,
13:27
that you'll be able to get to know more about the class
13:30
I teach and also the,
13:33
much to think about this Carna aa,
13:35
you know, this Fourth of July.
13:36
But one more time guys,
13:37
we get here for Professor Le Yeah.
13:42
So again, spark up your can your cues but just keep
13:46
the discussion in mind.
13:47
Much to think about.
13:52
Do you ever get to have the same food for the Fourth
13:54
of July barbecue? I feel like it's always the carne which
13:56
is fine. But you know,
13:57
Carne or a hamburger or hot the hot dogs.
14:02
Yeah. Well, luckily today we have the one and only
14:05
Gavi Ramos to put us on some new grilling options,
14:11
right? So you have some food here and we're gonna try
14:13
some bomb food that you prep for us.
14:15
So What are we making?
14:17
Yeah. So today we're making a whole grilled Branzino and
14:22
it's super fresh. It's gonna be wrapped in platino leaves,
14:25
which is a nice way to just like keep it nice and
14:28
moist and an old way of cooking that we're just bringing back
14:33
We have a beautiful compound butter here that I prepared.
14:36
Very simple. It sounds very complex.
14:39
But, compound butter basically is like a seasoned butter that
14:44
you can really like flavor it any way you want to.
14:48
But today we did fresh thyme,
14:50
cilantro, roasted garlic,
14:54
that you just mash in there and some citrus.
14:58
So lemon zest and lemon juice and salt and pepper.
15:02
let's get in the c shall we start cooking?
15:04
Let's do it. I got the fish already cleaned,
15:07
ready to go. You can find it at the store like
15:10
that. You just have to ask them and say,
15:11
hey, could you please scale it and clean it unless you
15:14
want to do that at home?
15:15
But I don't do that.
15:19
there are, but they take out all the guts and all
15:25
I did was just score and we're just going to do salt
15:28
and pepper, get it in the cavity like in the head
15:32
all that because every part of the fish has to be
15:36
Do you find like a lot of Dominican ingredients,
15:38
like easily out here in L A or is it like I
15:40
mean, I feel like over time my family has adjusted to
15:45
like being on the west coast and just having to figure it
15:48
out and how can we find the things that remind us of
15:51
home? But Caribbean culture is like within Mexican culture,
15:57
within Central American culture.
16:01
I feel like that's our common ground.
16:03
And so I find them pretty much anywhere to be honest.
16:07
So I'm just putting some lemon slices in there into the cavity
16:13
some of the cilantro,
16:14
which is also these ingredients are in the butter,
16:16
but we just want more flavor.
16:18
Always, I'm going to get into this butter though.
16:23
Don't get weird on me,
16:25
use your hands, you know,
16:27
like don't be afraid little Mazaj on the floor,
16:31
get it on the head and you get to eat all the
16:35
different parts of the fish.
16:36
So I'm literally going to just put it into the center.
16:39
So now it's just time to wrap it up.
16:41
So we're basically to wrap it up because it has time.
16:45
I love that. I love that.
16:48
We're just going to wrap it up just like.
16:52
So it's, I just feel like this is just so cool
16:58
to use literally plants to cook our food and it just holds
17:03
in the moisture which I love.
17:05
You want your fish to be moist,
17:07
you want it to be cooked in a way that stays juicy
17:11
So we're just wrapping it up as best as we can
17:15
and it's OK if the head is kind of out.
17:19
So just go ahead and just place it in the center.
17:22
Of course, close it in a sizzle.
17:26
We should do a little transition though.
17:28
So I think clapping in front of us like flapping.
17:32
OK. OK. So this is gonna be ready in 12
17:34
minutes. We're gonna go 12 minutes into the future on the
17:37
count of three, we're gonna land at 1321.
17:41
OK. So now I'm just gonna open it up.
17:43
We're now at the 12 minute mark.
17:46
So yeah, so here we have it guys.
17:54
Wow, beautifully steamed fish.
17:58
Very simple. Like I said,
17:59
was that simple for you guys?
18:01
Honestly, it was easy to follow.
18:02
So you have this for the fourth of July,
18:03
let's say or you know,
18:04
summer cookout. What do you pair it with?
18:06
What do you drink it with?
18:06
Like I love pairing this with just some like fresh veggies from
18:12
I love me some corn on the fourth of July.
18:15
You can use the same compound butter that we did here for
18:18
the fish with the corn.
18:19
You can add cotija cheese to make it more Mexican style like
18:24
a lot. We just try it.
18:27
I've never had fish in my entire life.
18:30
So this is a big deal.
18:35
I've had sushi but not like this.
18:39
I love this. I love this.
18:43
Something like that. Oh,
18:49
you could do sour orange.
18:51
You could do just lemon that we use and always squeeze some
18:55
on top. You can just go and see how soft it
19:07
Oh I won. Oh my God.
19:11
This is like chicken.
19:12
Yeah. Well, not like chicken but,
19:14
you know, the texture.
19:16
I thought it was going to be different that it is a
19:22
you could try it some more.
19:24
Yes. Yes. This is a method of steaming the fish
19:28
So the skin is not crispy but put that on the
19:32
grill just like that just to get some more crispiness.
19:35
You could totally do that as well.
19:42
I'd say I will try it again.
19:44
I don't know. It would have to be this fish.
19:47
I think I'm good fish.
19:49
I think I'm just used to kind of like getting in there
19:52
and I don't mind these little bones,
19:54
but absolutely. Be careful.
19:56
You know, you don't want to get that.
19:57
We'll keep digging in right now really quick.
19:59
Where can people follow you?
20:00
Where can people find you all over the internet?
20:02
Gaby Mariposa is my personal page,
20:05
but I post a bunch of garden and food content on there
20:10
Lola's Supper club is our dinner club experience that I do
20:15

20:42
Hola. How's it going?
20:45
So, Martin, do you have any advice for somebody who's
20:49

20:51
Like George Wang, we're gonna get you ready,
20:54
Georgie every time you show it to car as we all know
20:58

20:59
Everybody shake hands with everybody shake hands.
21:03
You can't none of this because we'll talk shit about you.
21:07
What if it's like a scary dude?
21:10
you know, like I don't want to say it to this
21:12
guy. He might kick my ass like he just came out
21:14
of jail. You avoid that guy.
21:17
See, those are kind of hard but you yeah,
21:19
they'll take us respect but like cholos,
21:21
you don't have to shake your hand.
21:22
You could just go like,
21:23
yeah, just give him a head nod.
21:26
you know. So you also,
21:28
you can't come empty handed.
21:30
You got to show you got to show with something because then
21:33
they'll be like, they'll look at you in some type of
21:36
way. Yeah, that's true.
21:38
I got shitted on for bringing not good beer.
21:44
I came in one time with these Michelob ultra drafts.
21:49
bro. It was at the end of the,
21:50
the kids. It was so bad,
21:52
you know, then a night when there was like,
21:54
where's the beers? My whole shit was like no one touched
21:57
it. You brought the cold slaw of the beer.
22:00
I brought the wrong beer and George,
22:05
I was raised in the San Gil Valley but I was born
22:07
in Colorado. You see,
22:10
Where I'm from? I'm from,
22:12
from Pangea homie. I'm,
22:14
I'm from Sinaloa homie from,
22:18
I'm from Chino. Chino.
22:20
Do. Well, that was the thing I got called Chino
22:23
so much in grade school.
22:24
I thought it was my name in Spanish.
22:25
I thought my name was Chino.
22:27
you'd go home and your mom would be like,
22:29
you learn anything in Spanish today.
22:31
I learned a little Spanish mom.
22:33
you know, tell family what you learn.
22:35
I like Chino Chino HAZ call me,
22:39
you know what I mean?
22:41
And I found out I was eating shit with a Japanese guy
22:45
I thought that was just like some nursery rhyme.
22:49
I didn't know it was this whole thing.
22:51
My God. So I grew up in that era where you
22:55
would have been canceled because when I see that joke on stage
23:03
0, they lose their fuck.
23:04
Really? Yeah, because they're the ones that would do it
23:08
they start doing it to me on stage.
23:10
I'm trying to get away from that.
23:12
Right. Oh, and also I think about like Latino
23:17
Fourth of July 4th of July car.
23:19
You gotta have the legal fireworks,
23:23
Those fireworks, I swear.
23:24
Like I, I live in the hood and I hear this
23:27
shit and like I look at the sky,
23:28
those are Disneyland fireworks.
23:31
That would have to Mickey Mouse hair.
23:33
It sounds like a war zone.
23:39
Don't put it in front of your face because my friend lost
23:41
an eye, the fireworks.
23:42
He only has one eye.
23:44
