00:00
Hi guys, welcome back to Lin and Bio.
00:01
I'm Jenny. I'm Gene and we've got a great show for
00:04
you guys today. Tell him J Yeah,
00:06
man. So Temu and Sheen are beefing like our dia oh
00:10
they throwing hands, they getting it in.
00:13
And Jessica Alba and Lizzie Mathis join us to talk about season
00:17
two of their hit series,
00:19
Honest Renovations. And honestly,
00:22
I wish I had a home to renovate maybe in 2040 perhaps
00:29
Oh God willing and Dulce helps us confront Torta allegations which
00:34
I personally have been a victim of Tortas are good though,
00:38
Jenny. I know that's what I'm saying.
00:42
Well, let's get into it guys.
00:44
IOS is HX, the girls are fighting and it looks like
00:49
it's going to get messy.
00:51
Chinese fast fashion giant Xian notorious for being accused of copying small
00:56
artists and big brands alike is suing its competitor,
01:00
fast fashion giant Timu for copyright infringement.
01:07
These allegations sound familiar,
01:11
I mean, pretty intense situation over who can sell the best
01:15
$8 fit on my little brother.
01:17
This is literally the Spiderman meme,
01:20
you know, like the one where they're pointing at each other
01:23
perfect. That's what's going on.
01:27
Yes. Both these brands are familiar with copyright infringement.
01:31
I mean, they copy trends from other designers and drop a
01:35
collection and move on.
01:36
I've seen it. Didn't you tell me once about the?
01:40
yeah, the designer I follow,
01:41
I got like a swimsuit designer and her designs are super unique
01:46
So it's like she called out she in and she was
01:49
they copied my design.
01:50
I worked so hard for it,
01:52
you know, and it sucks.
01:54
like, what the heck?
01:55
And then they sell it for what?
01:56
$3.04 dollars, $5 and then her swimsuit,
01:59
I mean, it's probably more expensive,
02:01
you know, the quality,
02:02
the quality is better.
02:03
I'm sure it's crazy corporation.
02:08
this is crazy. It's like the battle of the budget fits
02:11
right? And like Senora or you're in the middle of
02:16
it will be interesting to see what the outcome is because,
02:20
well, like you said,
02:21
it's the, it's the pot,
02:22
what is it? I don't know.
02:23
So my people afraid it's like the,
02:25
the pot calling the kettle black.
02:28
It's like, I guess my mom saying no,
02:35
because they like both of them.
02:37
My dad goes crazy on them.
02:38
My mom goes crazy on she and I could see that.
02:40
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
02:41
I gave my own place like I want to do renovating,
02:43
but I don't even know where to start.
02:45
Can I even hammer here?
02:47
I don't know. But luckily we have the stars of honest
02:50
renovations from Roku joining us today,
02:53
Jessica Alba and Lizzie Matthew.
02:58
All right. So doing construction can get you hungry.
03:01
What's your go to snack when working on a big project?
03:03
This is actually a real thing.
03:05
This is actually a real thing.
03:09
I like seaweed snacks and so we always have like teriyaki,
03:13
the gimme teriyaki seaweed snacks.
03:16
I like, I like black licorice.
03:19
It's I hate black licorice.
03:22
It's a vibe. I don't know what it is.
03:25
I just the kick out of it,
03:26
it gives me a nice little boost.
03:28
So we always have that.
03:29
What do we always have?
03:30
We always take random.
03:31
Yeah, like almonds and popcorn.
03:33
Yeah, that's another one.
03:36
Yeah. So are you guys both Home Depot Legends?
03:40
I mean, how does that feel walking to,
03:43
Like a pro? Honestly,
03:46
it gives you a little swag,
03:47
to be honest with you.
03:49
It's like, you know,
03:50
normally we do. I used to be intimidated now.
03:54
We're like, we're home.
03:56
I mean, we're home and home.
03:58
You know, I think once you get past like the lumber
04:00
aisle, you're good to go.
04:02
You know, we're there at the,
04:05
I just can't do lumber.
04:07
I'm not picking out lumber.
04:08
That's where I draw the point.
04:09
Where we do the thing on the bathroom aisle,
04:13
you know, sinks and faucets,
04:15
you know, lighting windows.
04:17
That's where we are.
04:18
That's our sweet spot.
04:19
And what's your favorite part of seeing a family's reaction to their
04:22
newly renovated space? I bet that's amazing.
04:26
I think they usually could never have envisioned or imagined their space
04:33
looking like that. And,
04:35
and so a lot of times they're like,
04:37
is this our house or is this our room like they're like
04:40
what? And so just their,
04:42
their, you see their brain glitch a little bit like what
04:46
this, this is our space.
04:49
And that's always fun to see.
04:50
And a lot of times they have an idea of what rooms
04:55
they seem like empty it out.
04:57
But normally we do add like one extra surprise in there.
05:01
And I think that's the cool part when they,
05:03
when there's a space that they didn't expect.
05:05
That's when it's like that.
05:09
a little bit of a guess.
05:10
That's cool. I also wanted to ask,
05:12
I know you guys are entrepreneurs,
05:14
you guys have your own families.
05:17
you know, work and family day by day?
05:22
you just kind of have to take know that you can't do
05:25
everything and be everything to everyone all at once and there's some
05:30
give and take and sometimes your family needs a little more of
05:33
you, your kids might need a little more of you some
05:35
days and other days your work needs a little more of you
05:38
And so you just have to kind of flow with it
05:41
and not get too bogged down.
05:43
And also I think we both threw out this idea that
05:47
we need to be perfect a long time ago.
05:50
And I think society sometimes makes us feel like everyone needs
05:54
to be 100 in every aspect of your life all the time
05:58
and it's just not realistic.
06:00
So giving ourselves the grace to kind of like some days the
06:03
house is going to be a hot mess.
06:05
Like some days I'm going to have a short temper,
06:07
like some days we're just,
06:09
you know, it's going to be really hard to get out
06:11
the bed and we're just going to be in our pajamas this
06:13
week. And that's ok,
06:14
man. Absolutely. Do you guys both live in L A
06:20
you're Mexican. What's your favorite Mexican food in the city?
06:24
Fritas on South Beverly Drive.
06:27
The older one has incredible pozole.
06:30
Like I would say the chicken pozole,
06:33
it's clean, it's yummy.
06:35
It's homemade. The broth is amazing.
06:38
Like that's something that we love in the family that we
06:43
get often. But also like,
06:45
I just like making tacos at home and we like roasted,
06:50
you know, we roasted chicken,
06:52
take all of all the stuff,
06:54
you know, all the meat off the bone and then put
06:57
it in a sauce and then just make tacos at home.
06:59
And that's my kids' favorite.
07:01
That's like their favorite.
07:02
And then also Eggy tacos in the morning that's like classic.
07:06
But I think because we live in southern California and we can
07:09
get it anywhere. That's the,
07:10
there's also 1986 1986 tacos.
07:13
But also taco trucks,
07:16
Like, let's just do taco trucks where it's like super,
07:18
like people are getting in there and you're getting all this sort
07:20
of things. I remember I went to one Taco truck and
07:22
they had like everything like every single thing and tacos por so
07:27
good, so good down in Santa Monica like that area.
07:30
I also rate certain Mexican restaurants based off of their salsa and
07:34
their chips. That's where I'm like,
07:37
you're either legit or you suck.
07:39
And so I'm going to gravitate towards good ones with amazing salsas
07:44
and amazing chips too.
07:46
That's the, that's the first test,
07:49
the salsa chips and then bring the beans in and then,
07:57
Thank you so much for your time.
07:58
And guys don't check out season two of honest renovations on Roku
08:03
August 23rd. Thank you guys.
08:09
How are you feeling about the election these days?
08:12
I don't know about you,
08:14
but I feel like this whole election kind of was like a
08:16
telenovela. Like honestly,
08:18
it's not like una tele novela Vira Matic.
08:22
telenovelas are really long and like played out no characters joining 200
08:29
episodes long. And like,
08:31
you don't know what's going to happen next.
08:33
I'm sorry. But Trump getting shot in the ear was not
08:37
It was like, that was like,
08:39
I had a left field literally literally because I think that guy
08:45
But this is why we're going to be educating ourselves with this
08:48
new segment called LA.
08:55
We will cover the important topics,
08:57
talk to some well informed,
08:58
educated people and poke fun at these ridiculous moments of this election
09:04
because they're bound to happen.
09:05
I mean, for sure they're already happening.
09:07
I'm going to confess,
09:08
I was one of those people that was literally like,
09:11
well, like, why vote if California we're in California,
09:16
if California is going to be blue,
09:18
why vote? Why am I going to go waste my time
09:22
That's what I thought.
09:25
it's not like it shouldn't be like that.
09:27
Literally. You need to make your voice heard.
09:29
I can't let other people dictate what how I want my life
09:36
it affects the people we love.
09:38
I have family members that are immigrants,
09:40
you know, and it's going to affect them and for my
09:43
future Children, I know I'm far from being a mom,
09:45
but this is about the future and the future for sure.
09:49
I mean, did you watch the final night,
09:52
I was actually going to ask you about it.
09:55
I watched the DNC and I feel like I finally got
09:58
to meet Kamala. First of all major the vibes she was
10:02
she was giving a little bit of school principal vibes too
10:06
Yes. Yeah. Like the school gets things actually happening.
10:11
She means business. Did you see Little John?
10:18
Well, John was going off when it came to Georgia casting
10:21
their vote for Miss Madame Kamala Harris.
10:24
The European mind truly cannot comprehend this moment,
10:28
comprehend a lot of that.
10:29
What's going on here.
10:30
But I feel like very like I missed out both Obama's speeches
10:35
were inc credible. They were big moments and Michelle killed it
10:40
and what scorched earth and Obama he had jokes.
10:44
Oh, what kind of jokes BDE he has but not the
10:50
if you know what I'm talking about,
10:51
I think I know what you're talking about.
10:52
Oh, ok. Obama see you.
10:56
Oh my God. And something that was really not cute and
11:00
honestly they should wipe it from the internet,
11:02
bro. JD Vance's bad haircut.
11:04
Who let him go out like that?
11:05
I don't know, but clearly he needs love in his life
11:08
Honestly, someone who does look good in four kids.
11:10
Did you see Miss Kamala Harris?
11:11
I did her fits her everything,
11:13
her aura. She's looking amazing.
11:17
it wasn't about her looks,
11:19
it was her confidence,
11:20
everything she was saying.
11:22
Her speech was truly amazing.
11:24
It moved me, it moved my mommy,
11:26
my poppy and it honestly got us a little tear in LA
11:32
last night and all this just sitting at home on the couch
11:37
with my parents. I just can't even imagine how it was
11:39
in person. But luckily we actually had some friends in the
11:42
show who were there.
11:43
So I guess they're gonna tell us about it.
11:46
Well, we'd like to welcome our very own Sandra Cordero.
11:51
I am so happy and so tired because I have had the
11:58
privilege of being here in Chicago for the past couple of days
12:02
and it's been emotional and wonderful and joyful.
12:06
The after parties were real fun and the convention,
12:09
it was great. So it's been great and now I'm ready
12:11
to go to Mi Casita in L A.
12:13
Yes. So you were actually at the DNC.
12:17
I mean, I felt it from my sala watching it with
12:21
my parents. The energy,
12:23
it felt like it was there.
12:25
How was it in person?
12:26
The energy was incredible.
12:29
It was undescribable unless you were in the room,
12:32
I think. But I think it translated really well onto television
12:35
and sort of what I'm reading online and what I'm hearing from
12:39
people, all the texts I was getting from like my mom
12:41
my sister, friends from,
12:42
all over the country.
12:43
It was just really beautiful,
12:45
really unifying. There were a lot of really genuine moments that
12:50
I know, the theme of the convention and the campaign and
12:52
sort of the moment where in his joy,
12:54
there were also a lot of really genuine,
12:56
beautiful, frankly devastating moments.
12:59
You know, I don't know if you,
13:00
you recall, there was a lot of gun violence survivors that
13:03
spoke about their experiences and mothers of the anti gun violence movement
13:10
that spoke and there was not a dry eye in the house
13:13
nor should there be because I think our country shame and that
13:17
was incredibly moving and really grounding as to why we're there not
13:21
just to party and celebrate.
13:23
And you know, we really need to remember that our politics
13:28
and our policies affect people's lives.
13:30
And whose speech do you think like hit the hardest for you
13:34
Michelle Obama? Incredible better than her husband and I worked for
13:39
her husband for a long time and better than her husband.
13:43
right? Like I will do whatever,
13:46
you know. And then Tim Waltz was incredible.
13:49
But then Oprah upstaged him,
13:52
you know, like she was incredible as well.
13:54
And super moving, Amanda Gorman was incredibly moving.
13:58
And even though she was saying she was beautiful and moving and
14:03
future President Harris was,
14:05
I think she hit every single point.
14:08
I loved all the personal stories.
14:10
Vice President Harris's speech was it touched on every single point.
14:14
I think it makes a point that she's ready to be president
14:20
And also that she's a human and she talked about her family
14:24
I thought that was beautiful.
14:25
And as also a first generation,
14:28
oldest daughter was like,
14:29
yes, girl, I feel all of those things when you're
14:31
talking about your immigrant mom and your sister and the responsibility and
14:36
beautiful, complicated relationships that we have to our families.
14:39
Absolutely. It felt very real life and I think that's so
14:43
important. Where can we keep staying informed?
14:46
I think we can keep staying informed on me too.
14:50
Right. That is true in B and we'll be talking all
15:00
things. Election 2024 presidential election 2024.
15:06
So I think that's a great place to be informed.
15:09
And thank you all for everything that you do.
15:11
Thank you. Thank you.
15:13
Thank you. Good luck on your flight.
15:16
Your travel, take care.
15:20
Hey, J how are you doing?
15:22
I am tired but I still processing a lot of the joy
15:28
but also lots of different feels that that came up this week
15:32
I also heard too that there was a lot of Chisme on
15:36
a certain celebrity showing up yesterday.
15:38
How was the ch on the ground floor and did any ch
15:42
like like that was actually true.
15:44
Yeah. No, we were all people were saying it was
15:46
gonna be Beyonce or Taylor Swift were gonna come out.
15:51
I don't know where they got Taylor from but Beyonce sounded
15:53
promising since Kamala Harris keeps,
15:55
you know, go walking out to the song Freedom.
15:58
And some folks were saying,
15:59
oh, they just played Freedom or they just played a rehear
16:02
the song in rehearsal.
16:04
So people were thinking it was Beyonce rehearsal.
16:06
And did you meet any celebs or politicians?
16:09
Not celebrities? Unfortunately,
16:12
I met Senator Elizabeth Warren.
16:16
She's an icon. So it was really,
16:18
really awesome. I also met the US Secretary of Health and
16:22
Human Services that matters to me because I think he's also a
16:25
Latino and was just able to chat with him.
16:28
I've been in spaces with him before just doing some of that
16:32
So it was cool to see him there again too.
16:34
And I think it's special when you see other Latinos in a
16:36
space that maybe we're not used to being in kind of like
16:40
hey, we're here and we're meant to stay and be
16:44
And I think in the previous speech,
16:46
he was talking about being first and too.
16:49
So I feel like just knowing he was first gen and he's
16:52
there's always like that kind of like inner child me like,
16:56
That was cool. I also saw that you highlighted the uncommitted
17:00
national movement, what exactly was happening.
17:03
So the uncommitted national movement on Instagram,
17:06
they uncommitted MVMT, I believe.
17:09
But essentially they're a group of delegates who you know,
17:14
had their right to be there and,
17:15
and, and they were representing their respective states.
17:19
And essentially they were there organizing and connecting pressers and
17:25
conversations with one simple goal,
17:27
which is to simply organize and call for a cease fire and
17:32
show that hey, we as delegates are here and we would
17:34
like to see a cease fire in Gaza and for the Palestinian
17:37
people. And essentially their goal again is to sort of band
17:41
arms and say we want to vote.
17:44
We are Democrats, we want to vote for President Kamala Harris
17:48
Vice President Kamala Harris to be President Kamala Harris.
17:51
But in order to get the and in order to really get
17:54
our vote, we need you to take a firmer stance on
17:57
a cease fire. So that's what they were there doing
18:00
How do you feel about Kamala's remarks towards towards Gaza
18:05
I think Kamala Harris in her statement was definitely trying to
18:10
appeal towards a lot of moderate voters,
18:12
right? And I think historically,
18:14
the US and relationship with Israel has been one that's the
18:19
US has really prided itself in that is her stance.
18:23
But I think it was a shame to ignore the millions of
18:28
people here in the States,
18:30
you know, her constituents who aren't just uncommitted voters who are
18:33
also voting and other folks who are not voting again,
18:36
folks from across the political spectrum who are very deeply impacting and
18:40
are actively grieving the ongoing genocide.
18:46
it was a lost opportunity for her to ignore that constituency
18:53
And again, that's what the uncommitted delegates were there to
18:56
hey, we're here and we are representing your constituency.
19:01
And that's all they wanted to,
19:03
to receive was just to be heard to be seen.
19:06
They were asking that for a Palestinian speaker to be included
19:10
in the programming and that demand was ignored.
19:13
So I was personally let down,
19:15
I know many others were and personally as a boricua,
19:19
you know, the US has colonized Puerto Rico.
19:22
My people also deserve to be free.
19:24
Liberation is all connected globally.
19:26
It's something that's very personal to me,
19:28
it's something I really care about.
19:29
So that's kind of where I come from when it comes to
19:32
this larger conversation. Absolutely,
19:34
I agree. I agree too.
19:36
And thank you so much.
19:37
I really appreciate you coming on the show and for your time
19:41
and where can people follow you?
19:43
People can follow me on Instagram tiktok at I Alvarez.
19:46
I was inspired by icarly iconic.
19:51
Thank you. Thank you so much,
19:52
Jorge. We really appreciate you coming on and sharing about your
19:55
experience. Look forward to staying tuned in as this election season
20:01
it was really nice talking to them and seeing like what really
20:03
happened at the DNC.
20:04
You know, I know you watch on TV.
20:06
I missed it completely.
20:09
I like how they both kept it real.
20:11
I loved Sandra's enthusiasm with everything and I like how Jorge too
20:16
kept it real with things that he wants to see.
20:20
Like, I guess them do better.
20:22
I totally agree. Also gave me more insight on what's actually
20:25
going down and helped me feel a little more aware.
20:30
Of course, of course.
20:31
So be sure to keep tuning in to La Bogota.
20:34
This is Daniela and I'm Jenny and see you next time,
20:44
Jenny, you've heard about guys calling girls Tortas,
20:49
I mean, it's always the men with Mad Panza calling women
20:54
Tortas or like the ones with Ma Chorizo.
20:59
That's what I'm saying.
21:00
Or like some dude with like back of the neck long has
21:04
you know, like back of the,
21:08
you know, and I got called a 626 the other day
21:14
Yes. Well, I kind of want to own it.
21:17
I kind of want to start a foodie Instagram which capitalize off
21:20
of that franchise it immediately.
21:22
I mean, I'm very familiar.
21:24
Yes. So we all know the Torta and I found the
21:28
best tiktok ever. Hello guys,
21:30
we'll see here. Oh my God,
21:32
We don't fuck with Tortas.
21:35
Your mom is literally the Torta final boss.
21:37
Have you seen how that bitch is built?
21:38
And when they're Torto themselves,
21:40
you have an audacity to drag that term to any girl.
21:44
You see while your mom is your original and your one himself
21:47
I had to invite her on the show.
21:49
Welcome. How's it going?
21:54
It's good. How are you guys doing?
21:57
Thank you. Thank you.
21:59
I think you're spot on.
22:00
I mean, did you expect this video to go as viral
22:03
as it did? I did think it was going to blow
22:05
up, but I definitely didn't expect it to blow up to
22:07
the extent that it did.
22:09
But I'm kind of happy it did because I got my message
22:13
you did. You got that message across it was delivered and
22:17
for those that don't know what does the word Torta mean?
22:20
It pretty much means like a girl that's overweight,
22:25
I guess from my understanding,
22:27
I don't know why they compare it to the food Torta.
22:29
I don't see the correlation but yeah,
22:32
for real Tortas are good.
22:33
They're delicious. They're great.
22:35
They're great. So what does it tell you when a guy
22:39
uses the word Torta to describe a girl?
22:41
Oh my God. It's definitely giving immature.
22:44
First of all, immature.
22:46
Never heard a grown man just use that word to insult somebody
22:50
You know, it's giving middle school,
22:51
I don't know, middle school lunch vibes.
22:55
Are you really a dad with three kids?
22:58
Calling someone on the end?
23:00
It's always a dad with three kids.
23:02
It's always a dad with three kids.
23:03
And a wife not knowing that they're leaving these comments and a
23:09
it's always the same looking dudes,
23:11
you know, did they not get fed Tortas when they were
23:14
little kids? Because that was,
23:19
well, that's the only thing they can think of.
23:23
They're just thinking about it all day.
23:25
They're like Torta Dulce.
23:27
What are some comebacks for girls when you know,
23:30
when confronted with the Torta accusations?
23:34
I personally don't respond to those types of comments,
23:36
but I definitely seen other girls comments.
23:39
They, they pretty much just say what I did.
23:41
They're like get a life.
23:43
You're talking about like talking down on somebody online.
23:46
First of all, most of them,
23:47
they don't even have a profile picture or actual content on their
23:50
page. They're super anonymous.
23:53
What are some better and more positive foods we can use to
23:57
describe women we love in our lives.
23:59
I don't know. Honestly,
24:00
I know in the video I also mentioned Pan Dulce and that
24:03
one doesn't like fan.
24:08
I really like that one and you know,
24:13
like call me that but we fucking own it.
24:16
If a man calls us a Torta,
24:19
you can't have a bite of it.
24:23
Yeah, I'm not your Torta.
24:24
I'm not going to be someone else's Torta just own it.
24:28
Who cares what they think?
24:30
Not that we have to combat hate with more hate.
24:33
But what's the male version of Torta?
24:36

24:39
I saw they're saying Pamba or something I will do say thank
24:47

24:50
