00:09
Welcome back guys to Lincoln Bio.
00:11
I'm Jenny and I am Alejandro.
00:16
I'm good. It's a great,
00:17
great Wednesday. I'm a little pissed.
00:23
I park right in the front and apparently I can't park.
00:25
You're starting to be like a little diva.
00:27
Well, that's the one thing I have in this world,
00:29
bro. That's the only,
00:30
this is the only spot I have some say in something.
00:32
But anyways, we have a crazy show.
00:35
We do have a crazy show.
00:36
Not only a crazy host but a crazy show.
00:42
speaking of getting called out American Airlines gets called out.
00:45
vaping is coming for your heart and not in a
00:48
good way. And microplastics are hiding in any.
00:51
I'm not gonna say more.
00:52
Just they're hiding in crazy places.
00:56
we also chop it up with Rob the original and Olympian males
01:03
Ortiz hangs with us because I know some Colombian slang for
01:10
sure. She's Colombian.
01:11
That's why I said that anyway.
01:13
But let's get into it and I'll get my car after this
01:20
In North Carolina police officer used his need to pin down
01:22
a seven year old student with autism for more than 30 minutes
01:26
and handcuffed him. The student has spared a teacher while being
01:30
disciplined for tapping his pencil.
01:32
And often said that the student could go to jail.
01:36
apparently the child's mother said her son was completely limp from being
01:41
pinned down and that the trauma from this has truly created PTSD
01:46
Like, can you imagine brother even more so like you're
01:49
a kid but a kid with disabilities,
01:50
it's like they're more sensitive to things.
01:53
So it's like the trauma,
01:55
you know, and it's crazy because hundreds of students are being
01:58
arrested at elementary schools every year and it's often violent.
02:02
It's never, you know,
02:04
with compassion or like any kind of,
02:05
you know, sensitiveness to this.
02:08
And there are several other cases of Children with autism being pinned
02:11
down and handcuffed and Children with disabilities like autism or a DH
02:16
D are four times more likely to be arrested in school.
02:20
And actually black elementary school students make up almost half of all
02:24
these arrests at this.
02:26
A study shows that police students of color as a threat.
02:30
Meanwhile, white students are in need of protection.
02:33
I mean, just like that they have like teachers for kids
02:36
with disabilities, there should be special police officers or to,
02:41
I mean, I know like Children and disciplining and everything but
02:47
there should be special police officers for that because I don't think
02:50
they, they require the same discipline,
02:53
you know what I mean?
02:55
like, again, there's like special ed teachers and just,
02:57
you know, teachers for just general students.
03:00
because it's like they understand that there's different,
03:03
you know, learning capacities and the patients,
03:07
the cops that come in,
03:08
they're just cops, all the student understands like,
03:11
no, they don't like.
03:13
Yeah, so it's crazy that this is happening.
03:19
Ok, brother people are talking on Reddit about a letter from
03:23
American Airlines confirming how much new flight attendants will earn.
03:29
The letter says they'll make about $27,000 a year before bonuses and
03:37
taxes 27 K. Yeah brother all that turbulence and dealing with
03:44
annoying ass passengers is worth way more than 27 K.
03:49
In my opinion, let's talk about remember the flight to New
03:52
York? He said the guy tell the story.
03:55
It was a good ok dude,
03:57
there was this guy that he'd order like cans of soda and
04:03
just stomp on him fucking mid flight literally like throughout the flight
04:08
I don't know how many sodas he ordered and the kid
04:10
yakked at the end of the flight and I'm just like carry
04:19
right. Yeah, you're like imagine brother dealing with that and
04:24
this is how much and that's only like scratching the service.
04:27
I'm sure there's even more intense stuff but like,
04:29
Maybe American Airlines should take a no from Singapore Airlines.
04:32
Did you hear about that?
04:33
they're studying the bar because they're blessing their employees.
04:37
They're hooking them up.
04:38
So they had record profits and so they're giving their employees nearly
04:42
eight months of salary as like a,
04:44
We had a good year guys.
04:46
Here you go. So they don't get a pizza party or
04:48
maybe they do get a pizza party.
04:49
But in addition, they also get some cash money,
04:54
take notes to American Airlines.
04:55
Everybody take notes even.
05:01
they're gonna think that Americans are cold as hell.
05:06
it's called the American Airlines.
05:07
They're gonna be like,
05:08
dude, freaking Americans don't be cos and I wonder if they're
05:12
actually owned by an American corporation.
05:14
I don't know, brother.
05:18
I guess I know who I'm flying with are the free flights
05:22
worth it? Let us know.
05:27
Target is reducing prices on 5000 items.
05:30
It's like, you know,
05:31
things like milk meat snacks and they hope to attract customers that
05:36
are worried about rising prices.
05:39
So basically Target is like happy summer.
05:41
We're gonna chill on the price gouging for a second and let
05:44
you get some shopping done.
05:45
Well, so far they've cut prices on 1500 items and plan
05:50
to lower more throughout the summer.
05:53
So, Clorox scented wipes,
05:56
they were $5.79. Now they're 4,
06:00
99. Liquid laundry detergent was $13.69.
06:05
Now it's 1299. Take my money.
06:08
Well, is that enough for you brother?
06:10
Like, is that worth you cheating on Costco?
06:14
I like Target, but Costco's Bay.
06:18
it's, there's some good,
06:21
The Target Circle app,
06:22
shadow, target Circle.
06:24
I mean, there's some stuff,
06:26
right? But isn't it just kind of weird that they're lowering
06:29
the prices now because they want to bring people in,
06:31
they could have lowered it all along and still made a profit
06:35
But that's what it is they're playing with us.
06:38
But anyways, it's funny because,
06:40
you know, President Biden had to fly so he had to
06:41
jump on Twitter or sorry X and remind everyone that he was
06:46
the one that called out,
06:47
you know, grocery chains and stores that were making record profits
06:50
to lower their prices.
06:52
So President Biden is taking credit for this other major retailers like
06:55
IKEA and all they have been reducing prices in recent months in
06:58
an attempt to retract customers into stores and tap back into our
07:02
pockets since the inflation.
07:04
I mean, essentially info has been frying us.
07:06
So they're trying to help us out like Gente como right now
07:11
you know, even with my business,
07:14
ok, Les Tamp Penan people go to the site per,
07:17
it takes a little while,
07:19
a few days for them to buy.
07:25
I guess this is what they want to do is get them
07:29
it's cheap right now.
07:30
It's cheaper. Might as well get it.
07:32
But they're good with impulse buying.
07:34
So, let us know if you think target is going to
07:36
be the pack this summer.
07:45
And news that everyone expected vaping kills a study published in 2024
07:50
suggests the use of electronic nicotine products increases a person's chance of
07:56
experiencing heart failure. The study also concluded that people who use
07:59
E CETTE at any point where 90% more likely to develop heart
08:03
failure compared to those who had A I DS.
08:04
And that roughly 5 to 10% of us teenagers use E cigarettes
08:08
So essentially it sounds like,
08:09
you know, you quit smoking to go to vaping.
08:12
It's kinda like you quit doing cocaine to start doing crack.
08:16
It sounds about right brother.
08:18
Our lungs have been cooked so long.
08:21
I mean, first it was what the hookah pandemic,
08:25
everybody had. Hookah,
08:27
my dad had hookah and we were like,
08:30
oh yeah, just blowing holes and shit.
08:33
Oh, you're a pro hey,
08:37
The hookah bars. Then the rise and fall of Jewel.
08:40
Remember that the USB things and now we have to resist Vape
08:46
flavors because they're targeting my Mexican ass.
08:49
Like, what the fuck?
08:51
Why is there an orch flavored Vape?
08:57
I'm just like, well,
09:01
there probably is brother.
09:02
They want us like they know that that's like the bait for
09:06
Oh, you know what a concha flavored,
09:09
hey, don't give my ideas.
09:11
Stay strong. Vaping kills.
09:13
Remember that any vaping kills,
09:21
Microplastics have been found in human testicles and researchers believe this could
09:28
be linked to declining sperm counts in men.
09:33
but I don't think they affected me that much because I just
09:36
had a baby and it was like in a try.
09:39
Anyway, it was two tries.
09:40
Like I, I remember this two times like,
09:42
are you sure? And she was like,
09:46
that's how I remember it happening.
09:48
But anyway, I mean like,
09:51
hashtag respectfully sorry babe,
09:54
but she always gets mad at me like we always talk about
09:57
our sex life out there.
09:58
I'm like we're adults anyway.
09:59
Go ahead. How did that go for microplastic testicles?
10:05
Ok. Well, scientists tested 23 human testicles and 47 dog
10:10
testicles finding microplastic pollution in every sample.
10:15
Well, jokes on you guys because my dog don't have testicles
10:19
Charles. You got neutered.
10:22
He's happy he's living the freaking best life snoring in your videos
10:27
and stuff. They don't get in the way like it,
10:31
but they have found microplastics in breast milk,
10:33
human blood placentas showing widespread contamination but like how these little microplastics
10:39
get to our ball sacks.
10:42
I know recent evidence indicates that humans constantly inhale and ingest microplastic
10:49
through contaminated seafood sushi,
10:53
including fish and shellfish,
10:56
the ceviche or whatever.
10:58
And additionally, microplastics have been found in tap water,
11:02
bottled water, Las Bota de Agua and even commonly consumed beverages
11:07
such as beer and salt.
11:09
Should we be worried like everything you list is stuff that I
11:11
consume? So I'm just like well brother.
11:15
No pa Yeah, microplastics.
11:20
Maybe we should stop making things with so much plastic.
11:25
How do we carry the water glass?
11:30
Oh duh. You know what sister you're on or something,
11:37
bro. People in Chicago are doing some wild scams for visas
11:43
credit cards or not like visa like papeles like to stay here
11:47
Officials believe hundreds pose as customers in businesses hoping to win
11:50
immigration status by becoming victims of pre-arranged robberies.
11:54
Wait, so like how does that make them eligible?
11:56
So apparently there's a U Visa which is set aside for
12:00
victims of certain crimes.
12:01
So they would go file the report and then it would help
12:04
them file for this U Visa.
12:06
Yeah. So Imagen that basically called.
12:09
So these dudes were wearing a ring just jumping people,
12:12
they were paying the robbers to jump them so they can apply
12:15
for this visa. So Imagen that UN CV S just like
12:18
yo, I'm in al five like come beat me up
12:21
but don't beat me up that bad.
12:25
apparently some people did go a little too far with this.
12:27
Apparently the scheme had been going on for two years,
12:29
but the fake robberies got so real that someone got shot as
12:33
a funny robber and one of the crews intentionally fired their
12:36
gun striking a 26 year old in the abdomen.
12:39
Bro. Role played too hard sources stated that hundreds of additional
12:44
victims involved in these robberies are from out of state.
12:47
So people are like driving to Chicago to get robbed for the
12:52
Papeles, which is damn,
12:56
I would have never thought of that fucking scam.
12:59
That's crazy. And they have identified over 100 people who benefited
13:02
from being robbed and most of them are from like Latin and
13:06
South American regions. So,
13:08
you know, I guess marrying your cousins for Pape is,
13:11
is old school people marry their cousins for Papeles back in the
13:15
day. I know a couple of people that have done that
13:17
unfortunately, but well,
13:20
I guess that's safer than better than getting robbed.
13:22
The staging of a robbery.
13:26
just be safe, get your visa but be safe about it
13:33
We are here with Olympian and former pro football player,
13:38
Melissa Ortiz. Welcome.
13:46
Thank you. Happy to be here.
13:47
We're happy to have you on.
13:49
Of you as an athlete.
13:51
But I recently saw your video covering your egg freezing journey and
13:55
I really related to it.
14:06
Why did you decide that now was the time to freeze your
14:10
eggs? So I think there's a few reasons why I decided
14:14
now was the time one age is a factor.
14:17
So I'm 34 going on 21.
14:20
But that's ok. I learned a little by little more about
14:24
my own female body and what that entails and the fact that
14:28
I do want to have kids at some point.
14:31
But time wise and timeline,
14:33
especially in my career,
14:35
I don't want to have a baby right now.
14:37
So when it comes to egg freezing,
14:40
I learned that at 34 actually in your,
14:42
in your low thirties or even in your twenties,
14:45
it's the perfect time to do it.
14:47
Why? Because you have more eggs and also better quality eggs
14:52
So that was one of my range,
14:53
main reasonings of, hey,
14:55
I want to do this now,
14:56
I want to make sure that I do focus on my career
14:59
But I also set myself up that when the time is
15:03
right, whether that's two years,
15:05
whether that's in 34 or five,
15:07
who knows that? I say,
15:09
you know, at 34 years old,
15:10
I had good, better quality eggs,
15:13
they're frozen and if at any point and whole,
15:16
hopefully not, there's any troubles getting pregnant later on.
15:20
I have my frozen eggs from when I was 34 and a
15:24
good amount. So it was the best decision that I've done
15:27
honestly as a woman and as someone that prioritizes her career,
15:32
but also prioritizes her body over anything else.
15:35
there are a lot of us out there,
15:36
you know, that are prioritizing our career and and just
15:40
you know, other things like buying a home first and
15:45
you know, some of us are like,
15:46
we still don't have a partner,
15:47
you know. So it's like I'm in my thirties,
15:49
like there's a timeline,
15:50
there's pressure and then you're getting the pressure from your family too
15:54
you know. So this is very,
16:00
Yeah, the pressure is real and as a Latina even more
16:05
and I felt pressure as a woman as someone who I'm married
16:11
So his family is from Puerto Rinos Colombiana.
16:15
And I just felt like it was always a question of when
16:19
are you going to get pregnant?
16:20
When are you going to have a baby?
16:20
And deep down inside of me,
16:22
it's like I want to do it when I feel ready or
16:25
we feel ready as a couple and as a marriage and that
16:29
really essentially motivated me even more to make a decision on what
16:35
And again, coming from a Latino family,
16:38
this is, this is science,
16:40
this is technology, this is all new and when you come
16:43
from Latinos who are very traditional.
16:47
usually women, especially coming back from my family had kids
16:52
So it was kind of like a shock.
16:55
Actually, it wasn't kind of like a shock.
16:57
But I think it's a shock,
17:00
like for anyone learning something new.
17:03
And once I fully explained what the process was,
17:07
what it meant, they were so incredibly supportive,
17:10
but I really, really had to educate them.
17:13
Like I had to educate myself.
17:15
And I think that's just something that we have to remind ourselves
17:18
as Latinos that yes,
17:21
we live in a very incredible tight knit family or community.
17:25
But there's time, there's a time and a place for everything
17:28
and when it's something so personal,
17:30
you really have to prioritize your decisions and what you want to
17:40
whatever it is. And I know you cover the World Cup
17:44
Are you coming to the Copa America?
17:46
We will see, we will see.
17:49
Well, I guess in general,
17:50
who do you think is in the COPA home?
17:52
I'm a dual national.
17:53
So I'm a proud Americana,
17:55
Colombian. So if Colombia wins it,
17:58
I'm happy if the United States wins it,
18:01
especially as a host country.
18:02
I'm happy, I think right now,
18:04
Colombia is the dark horse of this tournament and I do really
18:08
think Colombia is going to have a great tournament.
18:11
There's two really exciting friendlies coming up and it's like the Franco
18:17
America and I'll be covering that on TNT.
18:20
So it's the US men's national team against Colombia and then it's
18:23
the US men's national team against Brazil.
18:27
and that's June 8th and June 12th.
18:30
I believe so. Definitely tune into those games on TNT.
18:34
And if you could go to the stadium and watch those games
18:36
one of them is in Maryland,
18:37
the other one in Orlando,
18:38
it's going to be a five.
18:40
And last thing where can people find you?
18:43
I mean, I know you lugged the show but just if
18:44
you want to plug your socials for your coffee company as well
18:47
like that'd be awesome.
18:48
The coffee company is at kickoff Coffee Co I I don't know
18:53
You can either I can see it and then my own personal
18:56
one is at Melissa Ortiz five.
19:00
But thank you so much,
19:01
Melissa. We really appreciate you being on the show and sharing
19:05
your journey with us and being super transparent with us on this
19:09
subject. So thank you so much.
19:16
A popular dining and drinking spot in San Antonio is under fire
19:20
after posting a joke on Instagram banning Edgar haircuts,
19:25
a bowl shaped cut popular with young Latinos man.
19:29
Why are you doing my boy,
19:30
Ralph like that? Oh man.
19:34
But the post showed a picture of a young Hispanic man with
19:38
the haircut and the words no Edgars across his face and some
19:42
criticized Ricky Ortiz, the owner of El Camino and other establishments
19:48
as racist for the post.
19:49
So we wanted to get the opinion from an expert,
19:52
you know, the world's most famous barber,
19:55
Rob the original. Welcome.
19:59
bro? Hey, thank you for having me.
20:06
I know that the Edgar cut has been causing a lot of
20:08
controversy for the past two years.
20:12
I think at the end of the day,
20:13
you know, we were living in a different generation.
20:16
We gotta let the the young kids,
20:18
you know, that's their hairstyle,
20:19
that's what they're like wearing.
20:21
So I know at the beginning when I,
20:22
we started seeing the kids come into the barbershop asking for the
20:25
editor cuts. We were,
20:27
we hated doing those,
20:28
you know, because it's a taper and it's just like,
20:30
don't touch the top just,
20:31
you know, clean the sides and it just keeps growing and
20:33
growing growing. We're like,
20:33
when are you gonna stop?
20:35
But but at the end of the day,
20:37
you know, I like my sister.
20:39
I have a sister that has,
20:40
you know, my nephew doesn't let him get that haircut and
20:43
you know, you gotta let him be,
20:45
you know, like maybe later on he's gonna look back and
20:47
be like, why did I get that haircut?
20:49
You know what I mean?
20:51
you know what I'm saying we had the bangs,
20:53
the cette, the libri,
20:54
we had like all these turkeys that were whack.
20:57
But for us we're cool when we were,
20:59
you know, teenagers.
21:01
let them be. And what are your thoughts on the Edgar
21:04
news? So, like the rest and all that.
21:06
What are your thoughts on that too far or what's going on
21:10
sometimes, you know,
21:11
when we, we don't want to adapt to,
21:14
you know, certain things and I know it's difficult,
21:18
in this life we got to adapt to whatever is coming new
21:21
and new trends, new,
21:22
you know what I'm saying?
21:23
That's why it's good to innovate and like to think out of
21:26
the box, don't think of what's the usual what everybody is
21:29
following but like, you know,
21:31
it's cool to do new things,
21:32
you know what I'm saying?
21:34
it's to each their own,
21:35
you know, in my business,
21:36
obviously, you know,
21:37
editors are welcome over here,
21:40
you know what I'm saying?
21:41
you can't judge everybody with that haircut is not a criminal or
21:45
You know what I'm saying?
21:46
I know a lot of good kids that have Edgar haircuts and
21:48
that doesn't make them a bad kid.
21:51
this one sweet edgars but I mean,
21:53
speaking of the requests you get daily,
21:55
what's the crazy request you've had in the barbershop crazy request.
21:58
I've had people ask me for a portrait of their girlfriend.
22:01
I thought that was pretty crazy,
22:04
bro, that portrait haircut.
22:07
And I know you can deliver.
22:08
I seen you do the Vicente Fernandez on the back of the
22:11
car and I know you would deliver too.
22:14
Yeah, so you know the haircuts with the portraits and stuff
22:17
I did it to step out of the box just
22:19
to kind of go viral on social media and obviously a grad
22:22
attention because it's not normal is weird.
22:24
And that's kind of how the idea came,
22:26
you know, for doing,
22:28
you know, art with different art mediums.
22:30
It came from first from the haircuts.
22:33
people don't usually come in and ask for a design that's like
22:35
intricate like that. Usually it's,
22:37
you know, a small pattern or something that they can wear
22:39
something that looks cool.
22:40
But what I'm doing is like,
22:42
it's not wearable, you know what I mean?
22:43
Like if you wear it,
22:45
it's gonna definitely turn heads because it's not normal to see.
22:49
Turn heads, turn your head.
22:54
There you go. What trends do you see in 2025?
22:57
And what do you think is the next Edgar?
23:00
I know people are doing the peso pluma one or what do
23:03
you think is the next topic?
23:05
That's a hard one to tell.
23:06
Honestly, everything comes unexpected,
23:10
but I think that people are going to start growing their hair
23:12
out more like, you know what I mean?
23:14
We'll see more long hair because,
23:16
you know, we were bald like in the nineties and the
23:18
eight and the early two thousands.
23:20
But the fades, you know,
23:21
we were doing the ball fades but now it drifted to,
23:24
you know, the kids are having hair and I think that
23:26
just having hair, it's becoming more popular.
23:29
I know my dad gets mad at me.
23:30
He's like, because like,
23:31
I like to grow my hair out.
23:32
I've been wanting to grow my mole for the last year but
23:35
we had a baby shower.
23:36
We had a wedding like my sister got married.
23:38
I couldn't let it grow.
23:40
And I my dad every time is like no misque Corte clean
23:46
I like my longer hair because homeboys bald,
23:49
it's like you just wish you had hair and that's why I
23:51
think he's kind of like,
23:52
you know, forcing me to like keep it nice and clean
23:57
Like I like my mole.
23:58
But I feel that yeah,
24:01
I think long hair is it coming back in style?
24:04
Just like baggy is coming back as well.
24:07
Baggy clothes go buy skinny jeans,
24:11
everything comes back and then what topics are off the table inside
24:17
a barbershop because I know o she's man like there's no tomorrow
24:21
like us like we us in nail salons and and men in
24:24
barbershops. So I like what,
24:25
what is something that is like off the table inside a barbershop
24:29
probably like racial stuff.
24:33
we don't touch those topics.
24:36
people still like talking about competitive stuff and also politics,
24:39
you know, especially in the area where I have my barbershop
24:44
older white men, so we don't talk about politics.
24:49
You know, my barbers are all Latinos and stuff,
24:51
you know, you know what I'm saying?
24:52
So it's just, you know,
24:54
there's certain things that you just don't talk,
24:55
you know what I mean around,
24:57
you know, you gotta be a chameleon.
24:58
That's what I tell my,
25:01
you know, they're young kids,
25:02
they think, you know,
25:03
I'm, I'm kind of a little hood looking but you should
25:05
still be respectful and,
25:06
and know how to talk to people and make them feel welcome
25:10
it's all about who you're around.
25:11
When you're with your homies,
25:12
you could be hood or ghetto or talk however you want.
25:15
But you know what I'm saying,
25:17
you know what I'm saying?
25:17
To talk, how to talk around who for sure.
25:21
And where can people follow you on social media?
25:23
Instagram is my, the,
25:24
the main account that I'm always on.
25:26
But I do use Tik Tok and everything is Rob
25:29
the original so I can just go rob the original on everything
25:32
