00:00
Hey guys, welcome back to Lincoln Bio.
00:02
I'm Jenny and I'm Alejandro and we've got a great show.
00:06
brother? Well, sister,
00:08
you might wanna be careful when you sign up for Disney Plus
00:11
and also might be coming to the US and guess what?
00:18
We get to hang out with a much cooler Alejo.
00:25
And we put on congressman,
00:26
Joaquin Castro onto some bangers.
00:29
All right, let's get into the news.
00:33
It's happening. So is coming into the States and brother.
00:39
Are you happy? Yeah,
00:40
dude, I love so like when I go to Mexico,
00:43
like that's my stop,
00:44
you know, but honestly if it comes to the US,
00:47
well, when it comes to the US,
00:49
it better not gentrify that shit.
00:51
You know how it is over here.
00:54
like I want that true experience.
00:57
That's the thing. It's like,
00:58
dude, we already have 7-Eleven,
01:00
we have 7-Eleven like what makes Oxo is like all the Mexican
01:06
You know what I mean?
01:07
Like all the pitas in Mexico,
01:11
the drinks. Was it the new mix?
01:13
Like the blue cans and they have the Paloma,
01:18
the merchandise. Yeah,
01:20
all the drinks, the food,
01:21
the merch, everything,
01:22
the whole experience, bring it all.
01:24
And so supposedly, brother,
01:26
it's coming to Texas and New Mexico.
01:28
Not here. They're going to test it there first.
01:32
They'll start there. But in addition to the US also aims
01:38
to branch out to Chile,
01:40
Colombia and Ecuador as well.
01:41
They're going worldwide while at least all of Latin America.
01:45
But I think they're going to spread out and I know that
01:47
they're going to get the hint that L A wants at least
01:51
one or two. Hell yeah,
01:52
at least in San Diego it's close to the border,
01:56
you know, and then start there and then just go up
02:02
But do you really think it's only going to be like American
02:04
snacks or like iconic Mex snacks?
02:06
You know, me sister,
02:06
I'm that negative, man.
02:07
See, I feel like the regulations and the permits,
02:10
they're not going to bring everything but I have seen some stores
02:13
out here like 7-Eleven actually near me that do have some of
02:16
the Mexican stuff but I don't know if it's because they know
02:20
hey, bring over an extra box.
02:22
So there might be some pero,
02:25
I don't know, again,
02:26
just leave it to the US and all these politics to ruin
02:29
everything, you know.
02:31
It's just like that's true because then there's the FDA shit.
02:35
Yeah, man. What's up with that?
02:36
I know they're looking out for us.
02:37
But who cares? I want to see Papias Con I want
02:44
I want all those Hexagons,
02:45
all the Hexagons ex exo Azar exo what else?
02:51
Excess please? That's what I want to see.
03:01
Yeah. But honestly look,
03:02
this is what we think people have their own thoughts we posted
03:05
about this and the comments went off.
03:06
So let's check it out.
03:07
Oh yeah, people are excited.
03:08
Let's see. We need Japanese seven elevens but y'all aren't ready
03:13
for that combo. Dude,
03:14
I've heard about because I haven't been my wife.
03:17
They went to 7-Eleven in Japan.
03:18
Well, they went to Japan in general.
03:20
They didn't take me.
03:20
Sorry, but I heard it was like there 7-Eleven is like
03:25
boom, it's like so fresh.
03:27
The food is on point.
03:28
It's like you can actually eat like a five star meal there
03:30
here. We got nachos and hot dogs on the little spinny
03:34
I have been there all day.
03:35
But the ones here they do have the taquitos ta Yeah,
03:41
I do the cream cheese jalapeno taquitos.
03:44
The ones that are like,
03:45
oh, thank me later guys.
03:47
But yeah, Japanese seven elevens.
03:49
I agree. I agree it all.
03:51
And Japan is ahead of the game.
03:53
Bring it all. Please.
03:54
Only Mexican items, please.
03:56
The ones with excess labels see like we need a little he
04:03
that's how, you know,
04:04
it's good. That's what I want the stamp of approval like
04:08
Yes. Ok. We're on your side.
04:10
But again, just hopefully,
04:12
all I'm gonna do is pray to yo every night that these
04:17
tried and true and they're the closest we can get to our
04:20
ogs. Well, I guess we'll see what happens,
04:22
but we're stoked. We're excited and this is awesome.
04:25
Let's go to brother.
04:28
Have you ever read the terms and conditions for like an app
04:31
or a website? Not really,
04:33
you know, just kind of accepting brother,
04:37
dude, you're gonna want to from now on because it is
04:40
a matter of life and death.
04:43
Literally watch. This is what happened.
04:45
A doctor from New York was visiting Disney World and went to
04:50
eat at a restaurant at the Disney Springs Complex.
04:53
It sounds awesome. Ok,
04:55
so she was highly allergic to date and nuts and the family
05:00
insisted, they asked several times about her allergy and they even
05:06
confirmed with the chef,
05:08
but I feel it was like something waiting to happen.
05:12
There's a big but brother,
05:14
but the food was not safe for her and she collapsed after
05:20
leaving the restaurant and later died at the hospital.
05:23
So they left como everything is good.
05:29
So the grieving husband started a wrongful death lawsuit,
05:32
but Disney's lawyers and this is why I told you read the
05:37
terms and conditions because this is important.
05:39
Disney's lawyers are trying to get the lawsuit thrown out because he
05:45
signed up for a Disney plus trial.
05:48
No way. Real Disney plus because hidden in those sneaky terms
05:54
and conditions was some forced arbitration clause.
05:58
Ok. Wait, so that means they can't sue right force
06:01
opportunity. They have to deal with it outside of the courts
06:06
Like I wanna watch baby Yoda.
06:08
What does that have to do with me suing Disney?
06:10
Like for a restaurant?
06:13
brother, I guess they just knock it on there.
06:15
No say, but it was in the transom conditions that you
06:18
can't sue them. And I mean,
06:20
look at how long the terms and conditions are for Disney.
06:23
Plus now it just feels like we're in the freaking going down
06:28
the tower of terror of terms and conditions.
06:31
Yeah, I ain't meaning all that.
06:32
I don't know. Again,
06:33
swipe that smile. I'm just kidding.
06:40
No, it's like who's going to freaking read that?
06:44
We literally need to get a lawyer going down?
06:46
What the hell? Look at that,
06:51
It's like we have to get a lawyer just set up for
06:52
a new account now for anything and say,
06:54
hey, let me consult my lawyer.
06:56
But first are we good?
06:59
And even for your phone brother,
07:00
you don't know what permission you give the phone access to.
07:05
I'm just saying, well,
07:08
hopefully after this, some of these big corporations stop hiding all
07:13
these hidden clauses in the terms and conditions because it's too much
07:18
like y'all can't sneak that in there like that's messed up.
07:24
I'm, I'm trying to get Disney.
07:25
Plus I ain't giving you the rights to freaking my family not
07:28
being able to sue if something goes down.
07:33
There's one place that's always been a home for big bags.
07:36
Do you remember when Chili's the sales are plummeting and they
07:39
had this little jingle that went like,
07:43
my big bag. I want my big bag by bag Chili
07:47
Yes, that's how something like that.
07:50
They just posted this tweet.
07:52
They calling us all big bags but their big smasher burger.
07:57
I have to give it up to the social media manager.
07:59
Yes. You know what's up?
08:02
There's a Gen Z or millennial running their account brother.
08:05
There has to be there.
08:06
They, they, they're in it,
08:08
they're in it. That's not from a boomer damn brother.
08:10
You make a big back smash,
08:11
right? You know what sister?
08:13
You keep my name out your mouth.
08:14
You say those things?
08:16
Well, no, I mean I'm not a big back smash
08:23
There's a great deal and I'm sure a lot of big bags
08:25
out there will agree.
08:26
So we have a burger,
08:27
right? You get a unlimited non alcoholic drinks.
08:30
So I guess, you know,
08:32
tea, whatever and endless chips and salsa for 1099.
08:37
The chips and salsa 1099 or the whole,
08:40
the whole thing. So you get your drink and salsa and
08:43
initials and salsa are pretty busy.
08:44
I like that a lot for 1099.
08:49
Exactly. For a big Mac.
08:51
You're paying about $12 in change for the combo.
08:54
And that's maybe even a small dude.
08:56
is very expensive. Everything is getting expensive,
09:01
and that's like my mom now.
09:02
But 1099 it's steel.
09:05
Unlimited. I like unlimited anything.
09:07
Yo, Ronald mcdonald's looking like a clown right now.
09:09
You're the clown but even bigger.
09:12
Chili's Span and Company Bringer International mentioned the new big Masher burger
09:16
has been a huge hit.
09:17
A lot of Big Macs love it,
09:19
this new edition helped boost sales actually by almost 15%.
09:23
That's 50% more Big Macs in the restaurant and it brought in
09:26
more customers with nearly 6% increase in foot traffic last quarter.
09:30
Well, Big Macs love a deal for.
09:35
Yeah, it's human nature but big backs love it more like
09:37
you said. And then if you do Latino,
09:40
big bags, they love deals and they love food.
09:46
Unlimited chips and salsa,
09:48
bro. If you bring that out right away,
09:50
I'm gonna kill a whole tray and the burger comes out and
09:53
you know what? We need some more chips and salsa,
09:54
I might still pick at it.
09:56
But then I don't know.
09:58
And unlimited drinks I get thirsty.
10:01
You know, we love getting our money's worth.
10:03
I feel like they're gonna regret this though because we're gonna go
10:04
in there and be like,
10:06
Like where's that big black burger?
10:08
Not taking advantage, but it's gonna be like a lot of
10:09
people are gonna be like,
10:12
So we should go soon.
10:13
We should, I'm gonna try it too today.
10:17
We are here with Congressman Castro.
10:19
Thank you so much for joining us,
10:20
Congressman. Thank you.
10:21
Yeah, good to be with you all.
10:22
I know you work on your yearly list for the National Recording
10:25
Registry. Can you explain that for me?
10:27
I actually have no idea what it is.
10:29
I want, I want to know.
10:32
Yeah. Well, so the National Recording Registry was created by
10:35
the Lib Library of Congress around the year 2000.
10:39
And it's, it is for music,
10:41
what the National Film Registry is for film,
10:44
which is a celebration of the most important,
10:48
culturally impactful music in American history.
10:51
And so you can imagine there are songs from all sorts of
10:54
genres and varieties of music,
10:57
but I think there's like 600 maybe like 650 entries or songs
11:02
songs and albums that have been inducted because it could be
11:05
but only about 5% of those are by Latino artists.
11:11
So it's like a really low number considering a few things like
11:15
there were 20% of the country.
11:17
you see today when you look at bad bunny and like all
11:21
these artists who are just topping the charts on Spotify,
11:26
you see how impactful our music has been over the years,
11:29
but it hasn't gotten the recognition in prestigious things like the
11:33
National recording Registry. Definitely.
11:35
And so I was curious,
11:36
like, how are songs selected?
11:37
Like, is there a formula?
11:39
How do we get them in there every year for the last
11:42
three years? I put a call out to people just
11:45
the public and ask for submissions.
11:48
And then we go through these hundreds of suggestions and we'll
11:52
submit between 25 and,
11:54
you know, 30 songs or so.
11:55
And then they have actually a whole board of people who will
11:59
then like go through each,
12:01
each thing that's been submitted and people you don't have to come
12:04
through me either. Like the public can submit on their own
12:06
too, but it's got to be a song that's at least
12:08
a song or an album that's at least 10 years old.
12:11
like there's a lot of bad bunny hits from last year or
12:14
two years ago. They don't qualify yet,
12:19
that's right. No Peso Pluma,
12:21
you know, so when we,
12:22
when we get to like nine years from now he'll be like
12:26
right there for consideration,
12:28
an induction into the national recording registry is like,
12:31
incredibly prestigious for a,
12:33
for a musician. I mean,
12:34
this is something that you literally would put in somebody's obituary that
12:38
they got a song or an album into the recording registry.
12:42
Can we guess what Latino songs or albums have made it on
12:47
we'll list them out and you tell us yes or no.
12:50
Well, I'd have to go back and look at the list
12:52
myself because they're not all etched in my brain.
12:55
But we got in the first reggaeton song,
12:58
Gasolina. I think everybody knows Gasol.
13:03
We got that one in we got in El Cantante
13:06
by Hector Lavoe or actually we had nominated Hector Lavoe and then
13:10
that the board chose El Cantante.
13:13
So those were some of the ones that came from our
13:15
list. D How about Suave Suave?
13:19
I don't think Suave is in there.
13:24
Double check. And if it's not,
13:25
we'll recommend it Selena on there.
13:28
Quintanilla Selena. Yeah,
13:30
she is. She has to be.
13:33
Yeah, like we've got her also helped get the movie into
13:36
the National Film Registry.
13:38
So the music is there,
13:39
some of the music is there and then we help get the
13:42
film into the film registry.
13:44
when we can submit more.
13:46
We're down to give like a whole list.
13:49
Well, we're taking submissions for,
13:51
I guess probably about another 10 days or so and then by
13:53
September 1st, we gotta,
13:55
we gotta turn over our list to the Library of Congress.
13:58
Awesome. So how can we make sure that some of these
14:01
get nominated for the registry you said until the first?
14:04
Yeah, the easiest is to go to our website.
14:09
what in Gospel Congress,
14:10
you'll see my official website and then we have a link where
14:13
you can make submissions to us or like any member of the
14:16
public, you can go to the Library of Congress,
14:19
you type type in National Recording Registry and give them your own
14:22
list, create your own list or suggest your own song or
14:25
album. We should take a minute to make sure that Latino
14:28
artists are recognized for their excellence and for their contributions to music
14:33
in this country. Well,
14:35
Congressman. We appreciate you having me on the show and explaining
14:38
more on, you know what these registries are all about,
14:41
where can people follow you?
14:43
Joaquin Castro TX on X on Instagram on the different social
14:50
media and of course on Facebook,
14:51
Joaquin Castro. Thanks so much for your time again.
14:53
Thank you. Nice talking to you.
14:55
Good to see you take care what is up y'all?
15:01
We're here with Alejo.
15:07
Are they nice to meet you?
15:09
Yeah. Yeah, I'm the intruder,
15:10
the intruder here to take the freaking mic and like,
15:13
hey, I'm gonna do the show,
15:15
man. Well, thank you for coming out,
15:16
dude. Thank you for having me here,
15:18
honestly. Yeah, for sure.
15:19
I live in L A doing a couple of things I
15:22
can't say right now,
15:24
to do them and for people to see them.
15:28
something you can't talk about,
15:29
you just got back from tour.
15:30
Where were you? I was in Spain in Spain specifically.
15:35
Like, what's the craziest thing?
15:36
Like, I feel like the culture is like,
15:37
I'm sure different. Like it was the most like my opening
15:41
thing going to Spain is always super cool because it's a totally
15:43
different culture. Even though they speak Spanish,
15:47
I guess it's totally different things and like the food like
15:50
everything like the streets,
15:52
the people, it's just amazing and honestly,
15:54
like the fans there hardcore,
15:56
I love it. I love it.
15:57
I love it, you know,
15:59
and you've always left your mark on the reggaeton world.
16:01
But like which reggaeton inspired you growing up?
16:04
I mean, I've always said that *** yam,
16:06
I feel like I can listen to like all *** yum songs
16:10
and it still sounds fresh.
16:12
And also those are my favorites.
16:14
I love them. I heard the mainstream stuff going up,
16:17
So we grew up with Lup Rivera and then even I'm not
16:20
going to lie radio Disney,
16:21
bro. Like I was a little kid,
16:23
you know, and so my mom's music,
16:25
she liked menudo and stuff like that.
16:28
in Puerto Rico, like my mom used to listen to Manuel
16:31
yeah, I think it was,
16:31
that's like a Latino culture thing.
16:33
OK. So I got a little bit of mix but like
16:34
reggaeton stuff, I kind of just got the mainstream.
16:36
So I wanted to see if you had any,
16:38
you know, deep cuts.
16:39
I feel like reggaeton like became like worldwide probably like 10 years
16:46
I get it. Puerto Rico was a very local thing,
16:48
like maybe Colombia was a winner but it was like pretty
16:51
local. Then Balvin came up and then a lot of
16:55
recon and he spoke about Balvin,
16:57
we actually spoke to him recently and like,
16:59
he's always so chill dude,
17:01
but I want to talk to you about your collapse because you've
17:03
done like with Caro G collab with fade,
17:06
like what's like the craziest collapse story that you have?
17:08
Like, so I was doing premise too was doing
17:12
like, I think it was the first time doing their,
17:14
their, their awards in Puerto Rico.
17:17
So they did like manage to legends Donal Dari Yanqui do
17:22
Gle with a Yel and guess which artist they picked me
17:28
So I had to sing Sexy Mo E Mio Rata.
17:30
But my version and Janel was there.
17:33
And after the la la prem Ava,
17:37
I posted a story like me performing that and John there was
17:41
her dancing the song to me singing to it.
17:43
So I tagged him and he was like,
17:47
I love what you did.
17:48
Let's do something. I was like,
17:51
yeah, send me something.
17:53
so I went to the studio and like,
17:54
there are like six songs sent it to him and he was
17:59
let's do the video and everything.
18:01
So I mean, that was crazy when I think about it
18:04
bro, let's take a straight out of a movie.
18:07
Yeah. Yeah. Let me see what happen and you're talking
18:08
about IG and then all my collaboration,
18:10
my big collaborations were crazy story.
18:13
Like fade was my preview went viral on tiktok.
18:16
The panic and he was like,
18:18
he reacted to it and I hit him up on Instagram
18:24
Like we did a song in like two weeks and the song
18:26
was the number one in the world when it released.
18:28
It was crazy. And KD the same thing like fake called
18:32
It's like someone legendary is gonna be on the song.
18:36
and the next day he calls me,
18:37
he's like the, the song's done.
18:39
It's Caro to Colombia.
18:40
We're gonna do the video,
18:41
bro. Crazy and the power of social media.
18:44
I feel like people are ah social media is all like shitty
18:46
and negative. I'm like,
18:47
it, it can work in your benefit.
18:49
That's my Yeah, I mean that,
18:52

18:58

19:00
with the jewelry, bro?
19:01
Like I like, I like it so well this Shane,
19:04
the people that don't know.
19:06
I did an original album called Le le Feo.
19:09
I had a cat called Cosmo.
19:10
This is the cat called Cosmo.
19:12
He died but he died like a year prior to the release
19:15
of the album. And every time I do an album,
19:19
like an object that identifies the album.
19:21
I was like, it has to be cosmo and I haven't
19:24
like, I'm not an artist that I used to like open
19:28
up to personal stuff.
19:30
So when I did this album,
19:31
I had the, the intro super personal and I called it
19:35
Cosmo and I was like,
19:37
I have to do the Shane.
19:39
and the idea of the chain too was because of this album
19:42
a lot of info of like,
19:44
og reggaeton artist, Father Can De Laredo.
19:48

19:50
big change. So I was like,
19:51

19:52
I have to go like with that flow and we're on the
19:54
album, I wanna like,
19:55
you know, put people on Alejo like what song from this
19:58
album or in general from your whole like library are like,
20:01

20:08
what I've been through Cosmo,
20:10

20:12
That's why I wanted to start the album with.
