00:00
Hey, welcome back to Lincoln Bio.
00:01
I'm Alejandro and I'm Jenny.
00:04
Oh, sorry, welcome back to Lincoln Bio.
00:06
I'm Alejandro and I'm Jenny and we have a great show for
00:10
y'all today. So let's get into it.
00:12
Thanks. It's kind of crazy.
00:14
So apparently more women are skipping college to make six figures as
00:19
electricians, car mechanics and truck drivers,
00:23
in my humble opinion,
00:25
I don't honestly think college is overrated.
00:30
well, for some professions,
00:33
You need it. But it's like,
00:35
dude, like that's not the only option I've seen really successful
00:40
people are saying, you know,
00:41
tuitions are getting crazy so they're looking to blue collar jobs.
00:44
So, yeah, maybe it's the fact that,
00:46
you know, Americans have up to $2 billion in student debt
00:49
So maybe that's why there's a big switch up.
00:51
Yeah, that could be it.
00:52
And it's like, dude,
00:53
like even people that have attended college and not have a job
00:55
like they don't even make six figures,
00:57
they don't make six figures or they do something completely unrelated to
01:00
what they went to school for and I'm like,
01:01
wait, you went to school for psychology and now you're,
01:05
and it's OK but it's,
01:07
but it's like, dude,
01:08
like, definitely, you know,
01:10
while the majority of workers in trades are men,
01:13
a growing number of women are joining the club,
01:16
specifically, 11.6% of those who completed the apprenticeship program in the
01:21
US were female. I honestly think that's pretty cool.
01:25
They said f it like this is for women too.
01:27
Like we're going to go and there's no gender attached to being
01:32
an electrician, a plumber.
01:33
You're a mechanic. My dad,
01:35
my dad teaches me everything.
01:37
Yeah, he taught me how to change a tire.
01:39
He taught me oh Mi Mi Lucecita,
01:42
this is what you need to check.
01:44
Like so it's like it's not uncommon for women to know these
01:47
things and to learn these jobs and to have an interest in
01:49
them. No, I think it's bad ass.
01:51
I think it's bad ass too.
01:52
Imagine your ladies like I got,
01:55
She like changing your time.
02:00
I want to be passenger.
02:03
it made me switch out the ac filter in the house for
02:06
you. Babe. I'm like,
02:07
oh you can reach that house.
02:10
And also if you think about it,
02:11
a lot of these jobs are A I proof there's some A
02:13
I involved but ultimately there's not going to be robot that comes
02:16
in 100% says Sr Luz means this like,
02:20
job security, but there's a little more job security in the
02:23
sense that they're going to need more mechanics,
02:26
they're gonna need more,
02:28
plumbers, truck drivers and,
02:31
oh, yeah, that's crazy.
02:33
I mean, essentially,
02:34
I feel like you're on the same boat.
02:36
That idea of you have to go to college or you're failing
02:40
life is kind of not a thing anymore.
02:42
It's kind of fading a little bit.
02:44
I remember in high school,
02:46
if you, if people would ask you,
02:47
what college are you going to?
02:48
What college are you going to?
02:50
And it's like, and if you weren't like,
02:51
oh, well, I'm not going to college and you were
02:52
kind of seen as like,
02:56
I know. Not saying like,
02:58
it's like, that's how people would perceive,
03:00
oh, I'm not going to college but at the end of
03:02
I've seen people, like I kid you not,
03:04
that were saying, oh,
03:05
yeah, I'm not going to college.
03:06
They're taking a different path.
03:07
They started working right when they got out of high school,
03:09
they freaking own a house.
03:12
like, they're doing honestly better than some people that went to
03:15
college. So I feel like college is kind of like sometimes
03:18
people push it on you and it's not everyone's thing,
03:21
you know, it's not the only not to talk down on
03:25
it by all means get graduated.
03:29
It's still a huge accomplishment.
03:33
we were in high school and I was like,
03:35
oh, you don't have to figure it out yet.
03:38
how do you want me to know what is going to happen
03:42
So,, there's not just one path everyone has to
03:45
follow, everyone has different paths,
03:47
everyone lives their life.
03:48
homeboy has a house,
03:49
it's a family, a kid,
03:50
it's like they're doing something right home girl.
03:54
In this case, you don't feel the pressure of needing to
03:57
go to college, you know,
04:00
the, the pro and so you do,
04:02
you, obviously a lot of people are going into the,
04:05
what is it blue collar job space and it's working out for
04:09
And then you don't have to like if you hire a woman
04:12
you don't have to be worried about seeing their crack.
04:19
they were the little they were.
04:24
Good point. Honestly,
04:26
sister, it's a bad time to be a pet parent.
04:29
So remember first JD Vance came out and said specifically for cat
04:32
ladies, he was like,
04:34
we effectively run this country by a bunch of childless cat.
04:36
Ladies are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've
04:39
made. Damn coming from someone who's in an open relationship with
04:43
a futon. I'm just saying,
04:48
hey, just so you have where Dave Chappelle said fuck y
04:54
co no dude. But it gets worse.
05:03
He's freaking throwing jabs over here too.
05:06
He's taking shots. What are you saying?
05:08
While in Indonesia? He said your country has families with 34
05:12
or five Children keep going like this.
05:15
This is an example for all countries,
05:16
right? It may seem funny that perhaps some families prefer to
05:19
have a cat or a small dog and not a child.
05:22
But this is not right.
05:23
So, yeah, he's just taking a shot at pet parents
05:27
y'all here over in the west.
05:28
You know, it's not right.
05:29
This economy, brother,
05:31
the economy is not right.
05:33
That's what I'm trying to say.
05:34
Oh, yeah, I just be again speaking his mind but
05:37
he, he's contradicting all the time.
05:41
Exactly. But, I mean,
05:42
it's just weird that he's so uptight about it.
05:44
Right. And it's crazy because,
05:46
fertility rate is an all time low in the US.
05:48
It's all 3% from last year.
05:51
So it's a second consecutive year.
05:54
it's been dropping. Well,
05:58
The money that gets donated to the Catholic church at the end
06:01
of the misa should go to people to have kids.
06:05
I think if you're gonna help us out,
06:07
help us out, you know,
06:09
you have kids. Well,
06:12
but yeah, I don't know.
06:15
you know, everything's inexpensive.
06:16
Pedro Papa he's like,
06:18
Well, imagine taking a family of 4 to 5 guys.
06:24
Like, you gotta take out a mortgage to pay off those
06:28
burgers, brother. Like,
06:29
it's like es Carro taking the kids to Disneyland,
06:33
five kids. That's not the whole,
06:36
like we're saving up for like 10 years.
06:38
They make this trip count.
06:40
But I don't know again if Papa has thoughts and what
06:45
Is he just is he losing it?
06:47
Is he just yapping like we are or does he have a
06:50
point? Oh Jenny know what today is.
06:56
I don't, don't bring too much attention to it because mm
07:02
it's Friday the 13th and you know,
07:06
as Latinos, we have so many superstitions that we grew up
07:09
hearing and you know,
07:10
believing. So you never know on Friday the 13th it's kinda
07:14
you gotta be a little more aware,
07:16
right? A little more.
07:18
So where are some crazy superstitions that you've heard of?
07:20
So, ok, this actually happened purse on the floor,
07:25
you know, you have to keep your purse on something.
07:27
You can't put it on the floor or else you know,
07:29
they say money disappears,
07:31
Like so it happened to a friend and I actually recorded it
07:37
like why would you put your purse on the floor?
07:40
You know, and I put it on Tik Tok and it
07:43
did good people were like,
07:44
no, why would you do that?
07:45
Turns out that same weekend her dude's account got hacked.
07:49
So they stole money from him.
07:52
Yeah. And they're married.
07:53
So it's like her money too.
07:55
So it happened to her.
07:56
Yeah. So, so that's living proof that that actually does
07:59
happen. Ok, so no purses on floors.
08:03
And have you heard of the itchy palm thing?
08:06
So like if your palm is itchy,
08:09
money's coming. So don't scratch it.
08:11
But I didn't even know that.
08:15
because sometimes that itch,
08:16
you know, it's like weird.
08:17
It's right here. It's actually itchy now.
08:24
We're good. Oh my God.
08:34
that's not a superstition but now I'm spooked but I'm like,
08:38
sister, what else do you got?
08:40
What, what other superstitions did you grow up with?
08:43
I was told. And this also came true.
08:46
Apparently you can't sweep people's feet.
08:52
Like if someone sweeps your feet by accident,
08:55
you know what that means?
08:57
That they're like, it's going to be hard for them to
08:59
find a partner, like,
09:00
get married and stuff.
09:01
Yeah, someone did that to you.
09:03
I'm pretty sure because look at me now.
09:09
En suite and I think they have to mop your feet.
09:11
I'm just kidding. I don't know.
09:15
I'm just kidding. I don't know how to undo it,
09:19
you know, is there any good superstitions or anything else?
09:25
The evil eye, you know,
09:26
people wear the bracelets for protection,
09:29
they put the thing on our door so to turn away the
09:34
bad, the bad energy or people that wish bad upon you
09:37
And that's why they also say,
09:38
don't tell people your plans.
09:41
Don't, don't, don't like,
09:43
say you want to accomplish something.
09:44
Don't be like, oh I want to accomplish this because there's
09:46
mano out there. If people see that you want to accomplish
09:49
something and that they get jealous or envious,
09:51
then they put it out in the universe for you not to
09:54
accomplish it. But thats it.
09:56
This protects you of the bracelet or the thing on the wall
10:01
But that's what I know.
10:02
Do you know of any good ones?
10:04
I mean for New Year's is a lot right?
10:08
Where it's like you the 12 grapes for 12 wishes.
10:12
There's the maleta for traveling that year.
10:16
Is it, is it red underwear for love?
10:18
Finding red underwear? Oh,
10:20
that's how you undo the esco.
10:22
So I know it's a couple of months away.
10:25
I think if you wear red underwear at midnight,
10:28
you're going to find love.
10:30
So where are your Red Chinese unnoted?
10:36
So guys, if we missed any,
10:43
welcome back to La Vota.
10:45
The debate just went down and honestly,
10:47
the comment sections everywhere are on fire,
10:49
good and bad, right?
10:50
Depending on who you ask.
10:52
But what are people actually saying like on the streets?
10:55
Right? We send Jenny and Daniel to do some reporting for
10:58
us and see what people are saying.
11:00
Hey, ladies, where are you at?
11:05
Hey, what's up Paleo?
11:06
We are here at the Santi Alley.
11:08
We're gonna ask people who they think won the presidential debate.
11:15
Ko Kamala Aron. so Kamala Tra Kamala or Kamala Kamala
11:28
O No, para Kalla O Kamala Trump,
11:45
what Trump is doing is wrong man.
11:48
So, are you scared of like immigrants eating you?
11:56
I mean, do you think that's true?
12:00
Who do you think like won the debate yesterday?
12:05
Oh, what's up Jenny?
12:30
I'm out here at us c and I honestly just want to
12:32
know what people are thinking about last night's debate.
12:35
Let's go see Kamala or Trump have a class in like five
12:39
minutes. Kamala or Trump,
12:43
Kamala Kamala or Trump,
12:46
Kamala or Trump. Kamala,
12:48
Kamala or Trump, Kamala all the way.
12:51
Trump's an idiot. Trump's an IOT.
12:53
That's all I have for right now.
12:55
Kamala or Trump? Kamala.
12:57
What's an important issue for you on the ballot this year?
13:00
Abortion period. Kamala or Trump?
13:03
Oh Kamala what, last night it was so bad and she
13:08
just secured the win.
13:08
So Trump kind of got shut down in a way that he
13:11
couldn't have been with Biden Kamala or Trump.
13:15
I don't know. I don't really watch the debate like that
13:17
I just think that Trump or,
13:19
you know, whoever the other lady is can't solve any of
13:21
it. So God vote for God Trump or Kamala.
13:26
I'm an independent, I'll say Trump though.
13:30
No reason. Kamala or Trump.
13:32
Well, after the debate,
13:33
like Kamala for sure.
13:34
She's like, really well spoken,
13:37
Way more than Trump.
13:38
She has a good policy on immigration because my parents are immigrants
13:44
Yeah. Yeah. Same for me.
13:46
Yeah, I only watch like the main clips or whatever but
13:49
She ate Kamala or Trump.
13:52
Of course, let's be real.
13:55
Let's be real. Things like emigration for me are just really
13:58
important. My parents are immigrants and this is difference in how
14:02
they talk about. It is just so influential.
14:05
So come along the way,
14:13
we are here with Death Row Records artist Julian Torres.
14:26
Oh Yes. So I'm going to just get into it because
14:33
you've come so far and it's just crazy because right before you
14:38
know, we, we press the record button.
14:41
This man used to sing at my uncle's restaurant like he used
14:46
to sing at my uncle's restaurant.
14:48
So shout out to the Guada grill.
14:50
Yeah. So it's crazy because it's full circle and I probably
14:54
saw you sing at his restaurant and now you're signed with Death
14:58
Row Records. Snoop Dogg.
15:00
Like the Snoop's record label.
15:04
How do you feel about that?
15:05
It's an amazing feeling.
15:07
I've been singing since three years old,
15:09
professionally in front of everyone.
15:13
I love mariachi music.
15:14
I love Nosa Cultura.
15:16
I'm very proud and I'm very happy to be able to be
15:21
part of history. Yes,
15:23
I remember when you like,
15:24
played at Dodger Stadium and it was like such a beautiful home
15:36
Are your stadium being a huge place.
15:40
a huge moment for me personally because as a
15:44
kid, I was part of the WIC program and for those
15:47
of you that don't know what the wiw I program is women
15:50
infants and Children program that helps families,
15:53
low income. And we were put into the drawing
16:00
to be able to throw the first pitch at Dodger Stadium and
16:03
we were the family that won.
16:05
So we go to Dodger Stadium.
16:08
I, I'm a little kid playing little league baseball.
16:11
So I was a pro and I get there and they're like
16:14
OK, you're going to throw the ball.
16:15
So I threw the ball and I was there on the mound
16:20
I can, I'm going to sing here one day,
16:23
I'm going to sing and,
16:26
and my mom turned around and she was like,
16:28
you're, you're gonna,
16:29
you're gonna sing here one day,
16:31
you know, fast forward.
16:32
So many years I get the opportunity to sing at Dodger Stadium
16:35
and was able to be part of so many historic moments
16:40
the All Star games there at Dodger Stadium,
16:43
the celebrity all Star game national anthems and just performances for Taco
16:47
Tuesday. And I invited my parents for the Mexican Heritage
16:52
Night where I was going to sing both national anthems.
16:55
They were there and my sister,
16:57
I was so lucky enough that my sister took a video of
17:01
my parents' reaction of me singing there.
17:10
I've never seen my father cry.
17:12
I mean, there have been very limited times that I've
17:16
seen them actually crying.
17:18
So it was a special moment to give them that in life
17:23
right? They're living and they're experiencing all their sacrifices,
17:28
all their hard work,
17:29
everything they do for us,
17:32
it was something that I really wanted to give for sure.
17:36
Like from the moment that you threw the,
17:37
the pitch, the wig like the NP and where you are
17:42
it's like a full circle.
17:43
That's beautiful, beautiful.
17:44
I know that you're also a like an aid,
17:48
right? Because you also have a day job,
17:53
I'm doing both full time as of now.
17:56
I mean, when all of this happened,
17:57
I was already on my 19th year as a special ed para
18:02
professional for Los Angeles Unified School District.
18:06
So I had been doing that for a while and I
18:09
had been giving music lessons,
18:12
like vocal lessons, trumpet lessons and it's really gratifying.
18:15
It's, it's rewarding.
18:17
Yeah, definitely. That's awesome.
18:19
That's so cool. And,
18:20
like, do your students,
18:24
Like, how is your relationship with your students?
18:26
like, have they heard you see,
18:28
like, actually perform?
18:29
I keep it on the low.
18:31
I'm sure they're familiar with Snoop Dogg.
18:35
Do they know, do they know that they don't know what
18:40
here's the thing If I had a teacher and I'm like
18:43
damn, your sign with Snoop Dogg label,
18:45
what the heck? Talk about a secret life.
18:51
I, I try to keep it on.
18:54
I get it. They might get a little starstruck.
18:59
Well, thank you so much Julian.
19:01
Thank you for telling me so proud of you.
19:06
Thank you so much and I can't wait to see you perform
19:10
I will keep looking out for any performances that you have
19:14
It would be so great.
19:15
Definitely, I have some,
19:16
I mean, I'm going to be performing at City Hall for
19:20
Mexican Independence Day. I'm also going to be at the Ford
19:23
Amphitheater on the 14th of September.
19:25
That's awesome. Now I'm going to be singing inside of
19:29
Disneyland's California Adventure for the Coco.
19:32
No, this is so cool.
19:35
congratulations with all these opportunities.
19:37
And where can people follow you on social media and keep,
19:40
you know, keep updated with you.
19:41
You can find me on social media.
19:44
Julian Torres underscore official there.
19:46
You could click the link that I have there and you could
19:48
purchase my limited edition vinyl.
19:53
Yes, from that record.
19:55
So you can purchase that there.
19:56
Well, before we let you go for real,
19:59
can you teach me how to do a GRITO?
20:01
Because I suck at it.
20:04
Well, it just comes within right when you do a GRITO
20:08
But the easiest way I could tell you if you could
20:11
slide your voice up.
20:17
I think so. I think that's the easiest way like Miguelito
20:21
Let's see. Let's hear you.
20:22
And I'll try to start at,
20:24
well, you have a higher voice than I do.
