00:06
No. Wow, welcome back to Lincoln Bio with Jenny and
00:21
You know what I'm gonna get right into.
00:21
Do you hear that Costco?
00:22
The doomsday bucket? Really?
00:28
And also like not to point fingers but Republicans are weird.
00:33
Like literally they're being called weird.
00:34
Like actually the VP you know,
00:37
candidate for the Democratic Party said like he coined the term and
00:41
we're going to get into it and the Olympics are getting
00:44
hard, yeah, intense homeboys.
00:49
Baguette gets in the way you'll see.
00:53
So Mexico's very own Camila Fernandez.
00:56
Stopped by here, Alejandro Fernandez,
01:01
daughter. Oh, that's her dad.
01:04
And then FDI Alvarez prepares us for face huggers in Alien Romulus
01:11
Yeah, let's get into it.
01:16
But you're coming off a little weird.
01:18
Why are you calling me weird?
01:20
Don't be calling me weird sis.
01:21
You know what if you want to get into that fighting match
01:25
you're weird. You're being weird.
01:30
I'm just sitting here.
01:35
That was weird. It was just like I was just sitting
01:37
here like I was just living and waiting for you to tune
01:41
me in breathing, it's existing.
01:43
And now I'm weird and that's exactly what's happening in the 2024
01:48
election. So Vice President Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies are
01:52
emphasizing a new line of criticism,
01:55
criticism against Republicans. Ok.
01:58
So they're calling the Republicans weird to get a reaction or how
02:02
is this working? Well,
02:04
honestly, I don't even know how you respond to that,
02:07
but getting called weird is one of those things that will have
02:11
you self reflecting, you know,
02:13
like kind of like what you just did like in front of
02:17
actually for me, for me,
02:20
I like when someone says that I'm weird,
02:23
but like, imagine if someone really comes up to you,
02:24
like, hey, you're weird and you're like,
02:26
what like am I weird?
02:30
Like what, what did I?
02:31
But there's good look,
02:32
there's good, weird and there's bad,
02:33
weird. So I think she's meaning the bad weird.
02:35
I feel like there's good and bad weird.
02:37
I mean, it's on brand like these guys,
02:38
I talked about Hannibal L,
02:40
right? The dangers of sharks and batteries,
02:42
you know, wild conspiracy theories and automatically if you don't have
02:45
kids, you're considered a crazy cat lady.
02:47
So welcome to the club sister.
02:49
I probably also think the,
02:50
the the world is flat brother probably.
02:53
I mean, it's on their list of weird things.
02:56
Well, and all of this weird talk started in one interview
03:01
by none other than Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz and now Kamala Harris
03:08
selected Tim Waltz as her VPP.
03:11
So we have our match up,
03:12
right? Weirdos versus these two.
03:16
Who are you picking on,
03:18
you know, Election Day sister?
03:22
What does Costco know that we don't?
03:26
I don't know if you've seen this like viral like bucket thing
03:29
but there's an apocalypse bucket from Costco.
03:31
It has 100 and 65 meals,
03:33
80 servings of sides and entrees and,
03:36
you know, 30 servings of breakfast and they last for 25
03:41
you know, if something does go down,
03:43
we're covered, who knows?
03:45
But we're covered. It's just a scare tactic to make money
03:58
It's been 25 years since we bought this.
04:01
This was manufactured. It's do or die.
04:03
So we have to eat all of this.
04:05
we just found it but it's been sitting here for 25 years
04:09
That's true. And there's 100 and 50 servings in here
04:11
Sister. I don't know how we're gonna do it.
04:13
That's a lot, brother.
04:15
I'm ready to gain some weight.
04:17
sister, at the end of the world just let myself go
04:22
I mean, nobody's watching a me love you sister,
04:29
dude. What's going on?
04:32
Hopefully that never happens.
04:35
anyways, look while we have the bucket.
04:37
Let's try some of these meals,
04:39
right? You Down Tomas.
04:41
How are you? How are you?
04:44
What does RT S mean RT S is ready to serve,
04:48
ready to serve. We have some brown sugar and maple multi
04:52
grain cereal. Where's the milk?
05:01
You go first. I wonder if we're the first people to
05:05
people like, have them stowed away.
05:07
They're being smart and saving it for the actual end of the
05:10
world. It's not that bad.
05:13
This is actually pretty damn good.
05:15
It tastes like oatmeal like brown sugar,
05:18
oatmeal. A little carboy styrofoam.
05:21
You know like little peanuts,
05:23
styrofoam, peanuts. But ok,
05:25
so then what do you think it needs?
05:26
Is that what it needs?
05:27
It's more the mushiness but it's good time for lunch for lunch
05:36
Well, let's see how lunch is gonna go because am
05:38
I gonna give you a powdered sandwich or something?
05:41
Maybe it's like a pasta pasta.
05:44
for dinner? What is Alfredo?
05:49
Oh, I spoke too soon.
05:58
This is not bad at all.
05:59
Busting you need some garlic bread.
06:04
Oh, I know what it needs.
06:06
Tabasco. That could probably last 25 years.
06:10
So yeah, it's because I need some spice.
06:13
You know my Mexican I could finish this whole plate like I'm
06:19
even thinking about getting one of these because it's like 80 bucks
06:22
at Costco. The food ain't that bad.
06:25
And like you said brother una yeah,
06:27
just have it in your car in your garage just like chilling
06:31
just in case 25 years.
06:32
And you know what if you get hungry on the road trip
06:34
is grab a little bag.
06:40
French pole vaulter, Anne Amira's Olympic dreams are crushed by none
06:43
other than his manhood.
06:45
What do you mean manhood?
06:47
Can we roll the tape?
06:48
Just check this out?
06:50
There you go. He's going up.
06:53
I guess it's a blessing and a curse.
06:58
Honestly, it's like he's packing but it was a little too
07:01
much that it got in the way and now I don't know
07:05
where he ended up on the standings and stuff.
07:08
I'm assuming he didn't take home a medal because they put the
07:11
he going to be taking home something else,
07:12
brother after that his D MS are popping.
07:17
Definitely sister. Look.
07:19
So before this whole you know,
07:21
pre bulge incident bulge.
07:24
So pre bulge, he was at 8000 followers ever since then
07:27
He's had about 100 and 75,000 followers on Instagram.
07:32
See brother, he won on my book.
07:35
He's been growing, he's not a shower,
07:37
he's a grower, you know what I'm saying?
07:38
And he's a show that was a double meaning I see you
07:45
but he's to 100 and 75,000 followers.
07:49
And also not only that,
07:51
he also got an offer from an adult entertainment company to,
07:54
you know, make a little video and get paid $250,000
08:01
I don't even think they pay him that much for the
08:03
he didn't get the medal but he got followers and he got
08:07
a job offer. Use that baguette to get that bag wee
08:11
wee sister wee wee showing off his wee wee.
08:18
I'm gonna follow him after the show.
08:25
Yeah. In my hometown of Face Huggers when you're like making
08:28
out with like a bigger sweaty person.
08:33
we're lying. I'm so sorry.
08:35
Hi guys, my name is Liam and I'm Joel.
08:38
And today we get to talk to the director of Alien Romulus
08:46
we're big, big fans,
08:47
we're horror movie lovers.
08:49
So they put us scoops here to talk to you because we
08:52
we, we can talk to talk.
08:55
and I wanted to ask so while you were preparing
08:57
for Alien Romulus, was there any non alien movies that you
09:01
were kind of watching in preparation for production?
09:04
Really good question. Horror in general and suspense is,
09:07
is what works best for Alien,
09:09
right? So I have any specifics for you.
09:12
I'm watching movies all the time.
09:14
So, so it's probably,
09:15
you know, anything that works for the movie,
09:17
sometimes even movies that have,
09:18
that are not even the genre are the ones that inspire you
09:21
the most. A lot of times.
09:22
Yeah, you might watch a science fiction film that no horror
09:25
in it and end up being the perfect inspiration for it.
09:29
I wanted to ask like,
09:31
in your opinion, what Latin American Country has the best horror
09:34
movies and then also like,
09:38
do you have any favorites that we should watch?
09:40
Uruguay has definitely a few really good horror movies.
09:45
There's one movie that was called the,
09:47
the, the La Casa Mua,
09:48
which was kind of a classic in Uruguay that got remade into
09:51
an American movie. That was really,
09:52
really good suspenseful movie where,
09:54
but just one long shot of horror,
09:56
that was pretty good.
09:57
I'm sure they'll do it.
10:00
I got to say I'll be honest,
10:01
I haven't seen all the Latin American horror in the last few
10:04
years. You need to give me a recommendation.
10:07
We have to check that I love,
10:09
I love the suspense and like I wanted to ask you creating
10:12
tension and suspense is one of my favorite parts about the alien
10:15
movies. How did you go about that?
10:17
And what kind of like was inspiring you and guiding your directions
10:21
Well, there's a few things you gotta make sure you do
10:23
like one is, make sure you create characters that,
10:26
that you, that people can invest on and,
10:28
and, and that you get to know and you can,
10:31
the characters, hopes and dreams,
10:34
the harder it is to watch them die.
10:36
So when they're, you know,
10:37
they're running for that door and the creature is behind them.
10:41
you want them to make it to the doors to be characters
10:43
that you, that you care for,
10:44
that you really don't want to die.
10:46
That that's a massive part of it.
10:47
Then the other part is make sure to have antagonist,
10:50
a monster like we do here that is super capable and it's
10:53
very hard to survive an encounter with.
10:56
So that really sets the rule for you that it's,
10:58
if they come to close to it,
11:01
And it's all about playing with your sense of hope versus fear
11:05
What do you hope for and what you fear for?
11:08
So speaking of, you know,
11:09
characters and talent, you know,
11:11
you feature a lot of young,
11:12
talented and we know that you love all your actors equally.
11:18
if they're put in this situation,
11:19
who do you think actually make it to the third act as
11:23
actors and not as characters?
11:27
I'll tell you this is,
11:28
this is true stories like they,
11:31
I cast them and some of that I have met before,
11:34
some of them have I just,
11:36
I knew their work and I saw them all together,
11:40
you know, going to little rehearsals and go to stunt rehearsals
11:43
and I saw the way they all move and behave and,
11:47
and it was incredible how close they were to their characters.
11:51
Like they, you know,
11:52
the one that's the leader was the leader among the group.
11:55
The one that was the funny one was the funny one in
11:57
the group. So I would say that whoever,
11:59
if anybody survives the movie would probably be the same person.
12:02
Really. We have to find out.
12:07
I know that we just read something that Latinos make up 50%
12:09
of box office sales for horror movies.
12:12
Why do you think we show up for horror movies like that
12:16
I think in, in my case,
12:18
I think it's, it's more the Christian,
12:20
you know, upbringing,
12:21
like just to go to Catholic school makes horror movies,
12:25
particularly the ones that deal with the devil,
12:26
like particularly terrifying. But it's just,
12:29
I think it's just on our,
12:31
you know, and the culture in general,
12:33
just the idea of sin and punishment,
12:36
right? A lot of horror is built around the idea.
12:40
I mean, you see it in our trailer,
12:41
even kids decide to break into a place and,
12:45
and, and Rob and now good,
12:49
There's a sin there and there will be a punishment for it
12:52
So that that concept kind of comes,
12:54
feels very religious in a way.
12:56
And obviously, you know,
12:58
Latinos tend to be more likely than not that you,
13:02
you are more religious person in that.
13:05
It's ingrained in us.
13:06
Terrified. Well, thank you again for coming and thank you
13:09
so much. Very excited for the movie.
13:12
Congrats. It looks fantastic.
13:15
Wow. Wow. That was incredible.
13:20
I'm so excited for this the way that he murders people on
13:22
camera. Yeah. I mean,
13:23
my goal as a filmmaker is to like murder over 500 people
13:27
on camera. Fictionally,
13:29
fiction, fiction, fiction.
13:31
but Alien Ring, this comes out August 16th.
13:35
I'll be there. I'll see you in IMAX experience.
13:38
Take your mom is a face H with you.
13:45
Today we have Valerie Gomez,
13:51
a Cheetos DEA ambassador,
13:54
a phd candidate and founder of the Latina Grad guide with us
14:01
Thank you so much for having me.
14:03
Thank you for joining us.
14:05
This is awesome. So can you tell us about the Latina
14:07
grad guide and why you started it?
14:09
So Latina grad guide is both a social impact venture and social
14:14
media platform that supports and uplifts Latinas in higher education through digital
14:21
campaigns in person and virtual events.
14:24
And most recently a scholarship that I launched in collaboration with the
14:28
local education foundation. We've been able to support women.
14:32
Latina graduate students continue and finish their graduate degrees.
14:37
And really the reason why I launched this platform nearly five years
14:42
ago now was based on my own personal experience as a
14:47
first generation Latina college student and graduate and it was very strategic
14:52
because at that time,
14:53
I was transitioning from my full time job at the University of
14:57
California Irvine, working specifically with transfer students and undocumented students into
15:04
being a phd student.
15:06
And so I launched my platform.
15:08
So there are women and individuals that are part of my Latina
15:12
grad guide community that I've known for nearly five years or who
15:16
have followed my journey since I moved into grad housing.
15:20
That's awesome. It's like an incredible resource.
15:23
And what did it mean to you to be selected at the
15:25
CH DE had the way ambassador.
15:27
It was truly an honor and really a validation of the work
15:31
that I I've been doing in my community.
15:34
And to date, we've been able to award $20,000 to Latina
15:39
graduate students from numerous disciplines who are at various institutions all over
15:45
the US. We're currently in the process of reviewing applicants for
15:51
our third scholarship cohort.
15:53
So we're really excited to continue doing this work and ensuring that
15:57
Latina graduate students have the financial resources they need to succeed and
16:03
finish up their graduate programs.
16:05
I'm really excited to be able to support them because I
16:09
know that they will also be making a positive impact in our
16:12
community now and also in the future when they start their careers
16:16
That's awesome. Honestly,
16:17
what you're doing is like,
16:18
you're making a huge difference.
16:20
Like I remember applying for college and,
16:23
and, and how difficult the process was and you need guidance
16:27
you know, and what kind of legacy do you aim
16:29
to leave for future generations in your community?
16:31
I just want future generations to know that they can dream big
16:36
and that they can achieve anything that they set their minds to
16:40
But I think that as they're reaching for success,
16:43
that they're also uplifting others along the way.
16:46
And this is a legacy that I think is an extension of
16:50
my family's legacy. My family fled war torn El Salvador in
16:54
the 19 eighties. And really the reason why we're here is
16:59
because along the way,
17:01
there were people in my family's life that helped us.
17:05
And I think about my alias's eldest sister who helped them get
17:10
papers for them to come to the US or other family members
17:14
who loaned my family money so that they could fly and pay
17:18
for their airline tickets and come to the US and family who
17:23
housed my parents, my aunts,
17:27
uncles and my grandparents when they arrived in the US.
17:30
And if it weren't for those people who from really the kindness
17:34
of their heart, we wouldn't be here.
17:36
And as a child growing up,
17:38
I saw my parents and my family generally do the same thing
17:42
for others. I guess more on that.
17:45
What advice do you have for those trying to leave their mark
17:47
My advice would be to follow your passions,
17:51
whatever those may be and to celebrate all of the small wins
17:57
and accomplishments. Along away,
17:59
oftentimes we have really grand ambitions and we don't necessarily celebrate ourselves
18:07
until we accomplish whatever that vision might be.
18:11
But those little moments along the way is really what the journey
18:15
is all about. I would also encourage folks to connect with
18:20
others. If you want to go fast,
18:24
go alone, if you want to go far,
18:27
go together. And that's something that I deeply believe is in
18:31
the power of community.
18:34
I agree that is deep,
18:36
but I agree. And how can students find you and stay
18:39
informed. Students can find me on Instagram and tiktok at Latina
18:45
grad guide. They can also connect with me via email at
18:49
Latina grad guide at gmail.com.
18:52

19:05
Cheetos Deja Waya ambassador.
19:12
Today. We are here with Camila Fernandez,
19:18
an artist and the only woman from the Fernandez dynasty.
19:23

19:25

20:07
It's going to be so fantastic.
20:09
So, you had an incredible career and come from a legendary
20:13
musical family. Do you feel pressure,
20:17
like pressure to follow in their footsteps?
20:20
Do you ever feel like I know the responsibility that I carry
20:24
It's a pretty big responsibility,
20:26
but I hope I can reach out to everyone else and make
20:31
something out of the art and my passion that I,
20:34
that I've created what you're doing on my own,
20:36
on my own. How do you balance spending time with your
20:40
family? If cudos like turing not porque Dire toe,
20:49
I post dios te manda loos.
20:54

20:58
Yeah, she's the best says Puerta in Grio and Mijo,
21:17
what has been the most rewarding aspect of being part of the
21:21
Fernandez dynasty? And how has it shaped your approach to music
21:33
Connecting with the people that my father and my and my grandpa
21:36
have already connected with.
21:39
They come to me and they hug me as if they were
21:42
hugging my dad or my grandpa.
21:44
It's amazing. I feel the love and I really enjoy.
21:47
That is a lot mujer in indus industry like a ae machista
21:55
Yeah. Have you experienced moments like that where people are
22:00
like, oh, she's a woman.
22:46
So I need help building the perfect playlist.
22:49
What's been playing on your playlist?
23:16
Yeah, I listen to Beyonce,
23:18
I listen to everything.
23:23
Everything. Is there any artist you want to collaborate with?
23:34
Because I have a dream co that's coming out in this,
23:43
