00:00
We are here with the black Mexican Michael Baca in the house
00:04
and I wanna talk nicknames.
00:05
Sometimes we don't get to choose them.
00:07
They're given to us,
00:09
right? Yeah. Like actually we roasted our coworker over
00:12
there. His name is Gene.
00:13
He called him Pantalones.
00:16
What do you think it fits?
00:18
Right? If it's not too bad.
00:20
Yeah, handsome gentleman there.
00:23
You create a lot of content surrounding growing up half black
00:26
and half Mexican. You know,
00:27
when I got in the studio,
00:28
actually, I was called Lavaca boom.
00:31
Hey, I haven't heard that in years but it's now back
00:35
now, Lavaca. I mean,
00:37
the Latino sphere here.
00:38
So they're gonna be like,
00:40
Roast? Don't figure it out.
00:42
Yeah, literally. But I mean getting a little more
00:46
serious now, what was it like growing up?
00:49
it was a beautiful mix of both cultures,
00:51
I think. I had my black culture,
00:53
you know, good food,
00:54
Mexican culture, good food.
00:56
We had good nicknames,
00:57
you know, not only nicknames but we also had very much
01:02
You know, if you gain £5 you were go though,
01:04
you know, if you didn't put on lotion,
01:06
you were ashy. Like it just is what it is.
01:09
The range, the range.
01:11
Exactly. So, which nickname is the most memorable one that
01:15
I like negrito. Honestly,
01:17
I feel, I don't know,
01:18
I, I felt special because there's only one Negrito,
01:20
you know, and in the family.
01:21
So it, it kinda had like a special place.
01:23
It was like Neri is here,
01:25
you know, you own it,
01:26
you own it. Exactly.
01:27
Let's look at some comments that we got on this Gene video
01:30
because some people are going in on the nicknames again.
01:33
It's all love. But here if you wanna,
01:35
I've been called Sheet More than once.
01:38
Oh because they're freaking their handle like OK,
01:43

02:05

02:10

02:13
It's like the flex of like,
02:15
I, I'm bilingual by the way,
02:16

02:17

02:19
that nickname and I'll be with Matt forever.
02:22

02:23
