00:00
With all due respect,
00:04
you're great. You're,
00:04
you're one of the good ones.
00:06
Thank you. Welcome back to Mi Gente Latino.
00:12
Thank you guys so much for joining us today.
00:14
We're so excited to talk.
00:15
We don't have a guest today,
00:16
but we're talking amongst ourselves.
00:20
Chad? How y'all doing?
00:22
How you feeling? You know,
00:23
it's a 3 day weekend.
00:25
It's the last one before July 4th,
00:30
my whole life, I don't know if this is how you
00:32
guys feel. My whole life is flashing before my eyes.
00:35
Does it feel like after high school,
00:37
does it feel like your life has moved quicker?
00:40
I feel like when I was in school,
00:42
it moved a little slower,
00:45
Yeah, I feel like my life has moved so quickly.
00:49
Like there's no time like in high school,
00:53
or in like grade school,
00:54
at least there was like,
00:56
the, the semester and this and this and that,
00:58
but, I remember a teacher hitting me with that one.
01:01
the days are long now,
01:02
but trust me, the years are super short.
01:06
I only get that feeling when back to school comes around,
01:09
you know, because I'm like damn,
01:09
at least there was more time.
01:11
Yeah, I'm like you were in school,
01:12
but now I feel like I'm just kind of just like 3
01:14
day weekends that when I was a kid,
01:16
it was, I would lose my mind because I'm like,
01:17
yo, the party starts Friday.
01:20
Friday when I get out of school,
01:21
who's, who's sleeping over this weekend?
01:23
Like who's coming over?
01:24
Like it's 2 Saturdays in a row because we have Monday off
01:30
yeah, do you have any Memorial Day plans?
01:33
I don't know, but I wish I knew how to grow
01:37
No, Daniel is definitely bound to do something for sure
01:40
She's always up to some fun.
01:43
She's mysterious. But just see on her stories that day or
01:46
not. Oh, close friends.
01:50
It doesn't exist anymore.
01:54
Well, let's talk about it.
01:55
Let's talk about the elephant in the room.
01:57
I'm just kidding. Or should we say the Dominicano in the
02:00
room? We do have a guest today.
02:01
We have a Shorty award silver honoree.
02:10
So not just nominated,
02:12
he won the silver honoree for the Shorty Awards,
02:15
right? First of all,
02:17
yes, thank you guys.
02:18
You guys, especially you guys,
02:19
you guys have always believed in me and everybody here that I
02:22
work with, and it feels good to bring something home.
02:26
You know, on a video that we just did for fun
02:29
so that's, that's what happens,
02:31
you know, like super funny,
02:34
do it, and that was Jimmy Kimmel and,
02:36
and,, what's his name,
02:37
the John Mulaney, John Mulaney,
02:39
and honestly this video gave me that little high of like,
02:44
Like I, and you kind of feel that when you're making
02:47
a video and I'm like,
02:47
damn, I'm looking for that feeling.
02:49
And then you know we did it again and we've done a
02:51
bunch of videos since then,
02:52
but that one like opened the I don't know.
02:55
I kind of like felt different after that one.
02:58
I gotta do more of this,
03:00
you know, so I'm always trying to find.
03:02
Something like that. Create your content.
03:09
yeah, not many people carry shorty awards,
03:12
and many people talking to somebody.
03:13
I don't got a high school degree,
03:15
so I'm gonna hang that.
03:17
There's plenty. What are they sending me a plaque?
03:19
There's plenty of successful.
03:20
I get people that don't have a,
03:22
a degree. I got a plaque,
03:24
so I'm gonna push over my brother's kids' pictures in my mom's
03:27
room, and we're gonna put that plaque right there.
03:31
As you should, king.
03:32
Yes, I love that for you.
03:35
but,, let's get into some headlines right now,
03:37
guys., so my boy Javier Barden has slammed toxic
03:42
masculinity and world leaders catch a stray in a video,
03:46
I think it was at the King's Awards,
03:47
right? Like, oh yeah,
03:49
there you go, fucked that up.
03:50
I used to pronounce it Can Canis.
03:52
What's the proper way is King Caleon Leon.
03:59
Can can can Leon like.
04:04
We kind of normalized it.
04:06
yeah, it's horrible.
04:08
I mean, are we fucking nuts?
04:10
We are killing women because some men think they own them.
04:14
They poss them, they possess them.
04:17
So, and that problem also goes to Mr.
04:20
Trump and Mr. Putin and Mr.
04:21
Netanyahu, the big bold man saying my big,
04:26
my is bigger than yours,
04:28
and I'm gonna bomb the out of you.
04:30
It's a male toxic behavior that is creating thousands of dead people
04:37
we have to talk about it.
04:40
and, and I think we are talking about it is because
04:44
we are more aware of it thankfully.
04:46
My goodness, that is the hottest thing I've heard this year
04:50
With all due respect,
04:54
You're great. You're,
04:55
you're one of the good ones.
04:56
Thank you. I'm just like in every department.
05:00
Every department, it's you,
05:03
you're fucking our shit up and Javier Bardem,
05:06
the ability to recognize that and say out loud and almost admit
05:12
fault, although you're not the guilty one,
05:15
but say we do need to be talking about it is so
05:19
important because everyone else is.
05:21
It's time for those who are the problem to be addressed in
05:25
that way, and I think we're past the point of being
05:28
PC or media trained.
05:31
yeah, it's not working.
05:33
I wanna have kids one day.
05:34
I want my kids to have kids,
05:36
and at this rate it doesn't feel like we're gonna get there
05:39
Shout out to them for not killing his mic or just
05:41
letting him talk his shit.
05:43
like we all, we're thinking,
05:44
we're thinking it now.
05:47
I love when these like public figures and celebrities are very raw
05:55
I value that because,
05:56
yeah, like you said,
05:57
the media training. I want a genuine conversation.
06:00
I want a genuine statement from you.
06:04
You know, as a human being,
06:06
like, what do you think?
06:07
Don't just a facade.
06:08
I don't, I don't like.
06:10
Well, media training in 2026 is literally censorship,
06:13
at least in the United States.
06:15
It's censorship because you're scared of what the corporate entities,
06:19
and you know it's a risk saying this here myself,
06:22
will think and will dictate of what you just said and risk
06:25
losing. It's all back to the cash flow,
06:29
definitely so I. Javier Bardem,
06:35
The balls that you referenced,
06:38
I wish more people did.
06:41
but I kind of do have those balls.
06:42
I wish more men did though.
06:46
We have them, but sometimes they're not puerto,
06:48
like they're in the back pocket,
06:50
the ovaries. We got the loss.
06:54
Jenny Riverasarios. I got another story here,
06:58
and this one made me sick to my stomach.
07:01
because you went to Disney with me.
07:05
no, the incredible coaster,
07:07
not that Ferris wheel wheel,
07:08
the swing shit from hell,
07:10
you were genuinely scared.
07:13
Did you see, did you see the clip?
07:14
Were you like that with Coachella or no?
07:16
No, because this one,
07:19
this one kept swinging.
07:21
Explain, it's a Ferris wheel,
07:23
but it's also like a,
07:24
oh, I know exactly what it like goes,
07:27
it goes it goes like this and it.
07:29
It rocks no seatbelt,
07:31
no nothing, and it does it twice,
07:32
and I think the second time is faster than the first,
07:35
so the, the rocking is crazy.
07:37
Like there's a point where I was like this facing her,
07:40
like when it went back,
07:42
so that's life, I guess,
07:46
Let's see if, if this is life for these guys because
07:50
I would never want to go through this.
07:51
I feel like, so the ride,
07:53
the ride got stuck and they had to get down.
07:58
You imagine? Oh my gosh.
08:02
Is he saying don't record because I will have a heart attack
08:04
You know how windy it is up there?
08:08
scary. Well, at least there's stairs.
08:14
I think, I think there's somebody that doesn't wanna move.
08:16
Watch. Are those stairs?
08:18
Are those stairs? Yeah,
08:18
yeah, they, they have stairs to get down.
08:24
helicopter. How about this?
08:25
Imagine that. Imagine that.
08:26
Look, look, she don't want to get off.
08:29
You imagine that's her first coaster and they convinced her to get
08:31
on. New trauma unlocked.
08:35
You heard like that's her first coaster and Jeez,
08:41
my brother did that one time at Hurricane Harbor.
08:43
We did the whole line,
08:44
right? He gets to the top and he's like,
08:47
I don't want to do it.
08:48
So you already know I had to boo.
08:51
Everybody started booing him.
08:54
You started the boom.
08:56
it's faster to go down right now than for you to ask
08:59
say excuse me 1000 times because the lines are packed,
09:02
you know, like on a water slide,
09:04
and he went down the stairs and we started to chant,
09:08
it was bad. All right.
09:11
And then, but these people wanted to do the coaster.
09:14
I mean, can you sue for some shit like that?
09:16
I'll pass out up there and be like,
09:17
Yo, I need to check out.
09:21
I hurt psychologically. I'm hurt now.
09:23
Like I wake up at night and I think,
09:26
and there's evidence because there's people recording maybe I'm just kidding.
09:34
Dude, there's people that do that for a living.
09:38
all right, and then another story that I saw this morning
09:41
Bad Bunny and Zara are teaming up,
09:43
and he dropped the ad.
09:46
his clothes looks affordable.
09:47
Like I might, I might be,
09:49
I might be rocking it.
10:16
What's the name of this brand?
10:21
That's what, what's his,
10:23
what's the name? I know he dropped the his own brand
10:26
yeah. Do y'all know it?
10:28
No, or he had his name trademarked or something recently.
10:32
Well, yeah, I saw that like people are saying it's
10:34
for an album. Speaking of albums and singers,
10:41
your girl has been your girl Shakira.
10:47
Yo, my TikTok has been going crazy with her everywhere.
10:51
I want, I want her to look at me how she
10:53
looked at have her back.
10:54
I'm grateful for that because there was a point in my life
10:57
where I had her and then She disappeared and I respect it
11:01
She had to become a mother of she-wolf,
11:04
a true she-wolf, because she,
11:05
she became the mom and primary caretaker and She was on hiatus
11:13
She's single. She's probably sung about it before.
11:15
She's enjoying. She looks happier life.
11:19
you know, making history every other two days,
11:22
and the internet may have accidentally discovered a new love affair.
11:27
Well, it hasn't even happened yet,
11:30
but Shakira was essentially giving an exclusive interview with Telemundo for the
11:34
upcoming World Cup. Watch the video.
11:38
I'll let it speak for itself.
11:40
Oh yeah, look at the lips.
11:49
You know I had to pick the TikTok remix of this interview
11:55
Like, yeah, like you could tell.
12:00
You know what? She has a type.
12:03
The girl has a type.
12:05
I'll say he looks better.
12:07
That's the one thing I don't picture Shakira dating a Clovis,
12:10
but again, I never pictured her dating a PK.
12:14
She always dates guys with weird names,
12:18
we posted about it yesterday,
12:20
right? I posted some comments as well because people had,
12:23
some things to say about it.
12:24
Let's see words. Spanish just hit different Beamosa mujer like English
12:30
It's true. So the Spanish interviewers will obviously have a little
12:33
bit more, and he spoke very highly of her.
12:35
Oh, Shakira's 49 and Clovis is 33.
12:39
Nothing wrong with an age difference.
12:41
I feel like they're both mature.
12:45
He looks too much like her ex,
12:47
but he's hella handsome.
12:49
No, look at a picture of Piquet.
12:51
With all due respect,
12:52
look at a picture of Pique in 2026.
12:54
They don't look like each other anymore.
12:58
Hey yo, Chloe Casio.
13:02
If you know what song that's from.
13:03
First of all, he has a fan group,
13:05
Clovis Universe. That's funny.
13:13
I just really feel like this is community romance.
13:17
Like the community is Cupid.
13:18
It's a bunch of senoras and senorre on TikTok just like Meta
13:24
Let's say what it is.
13:26
Shakira fell in love with Pique during the World Cup,
13:29
during the music video for Waka Waka.
13:31
Fun fact. So of course she's doing her promotional press tour
13:37
for Day Die, her newest World Cup song for World Cup
13:40
summer, and I don't know some love interest,
13:45
we shall see. Good for her also.
13:48
Good for her. Good for her.
13:52
The kids can have a stepdad.
13:54
They sure can. And did you see how excited she was
13:57
at what their games?
13:57
I love her being a regular person.
14:00
I love seeing her in like a regular mom,
14:02
like doing regular mom things.
14:03
One of the kids sings.
14:05
right? They both do.
14:06
They're so talent because I saw them.
14:07
and then they cut to the kids,
14:08
and I'm like, they're both on a song with her.
14:10
They definitely like practice with you and you run around and you're
14:13
like a mom. She's a really good mom.
14:15
I could tell she's a really good mom.
14:17
Is the father in the mix or not?
14:24
so summer's approaching and,
14:27
I, I need some help with some of these blind dates
14:29
that I put together.
14:31
You don't need a double,
14:33
but I'm just letting y'all know,
14:34
some of, some of my.
14:36
First of all, how long can someone who's been in LA
14:38
for 5 years say that they're not from here?
14:41
What's the, what's the,
14:43
what's the thre what's the,
14:44
the threshold or the when can I,
14:46
why are you officially not a trans?
14:48
I think you're from LA too now.
14:50
I think, I think if I 7 or 10 years,
14:54
I'm almost there. Where are you at?
14:57
5, yeah, but have you been to?
15:00
Rancho Cucamonga. No,
15:02
but I have, have you been to,
15:08
No. Have you been to Temecula?
15:12
To make you, to make you,
15:14
what have you been to Pasadena?
15:16
Yes. Have you been to South Pasadena?
15:19
I didn't know there was a South.
15:22
but yo, but let me get these summer days.
15:24
I'm gonna get these summer days together,
15:25
and I need y'all to help me rank and steer me in
15:28
the right direction. All right,
15:30
so have you been to Woodland Hills?
15:32
Woodland Hills, yes,
15:33
I have. I dropped off a basketball player's son up there
15:36
OK, you're getting there.
15:39
What are the situations?
15:41
Easy one. Dodger game in LA.
15:47
I would say that these are dates.
15:49
Yeah, these are summer date spots that I had made a
15:51
list of, and I'm like.
15:54
This, this will get me a W.
15:55
This will get me a win.
16:00
It's pretty fun and romantic.
16:01
It is. I would say 4.
16:03
What's the best? Sorry,
16:05
but I mean like a Dodger game.
16:06
Like I'm gonna get you food.
16:07
We're gonna get good seats.
16:09
We're gonna get good seats.
16:10
We might have to walk up that hill.
16:15
Friday nights they do the,
16:16
the fire fireworks. Is it on a Friday night?
16:23
OK. I just like baseball's long.
16:26
Griffith Observatory sunset. Oh,
16:29
that's hot. Number 1,
16:33
I, I, I kind of want to save my 1
16:35
until it gets a little closer,
16:37
That's that one. I love that one because that one's free
16:39
you know, like that one costs no money.
16:42
that's the problem. If you wouldn't have said that,
16:46
but what do you mean?
16:46
It's something, it's an experience like.
16:48
There's not money attached to it is what I'm trying to say
16:50
I'm not thinking that way.
16:52
hey, let's experience this.
16:53
It's the intention of you saying it's free.
16:56
Oh, I'm doing it because it's free rather than I'm saying
16:58
it because no, because I,
16:59
because there's even when you say it's free,
17:02
there's still something that you got to pay at the end of
17:06
I don't even like that means this isn't on the list because
17:09
you're thinking cost of date.
17:10
I'm thinking intentionality, and that's the difference between men and women
17:15
he thought about us.
17:16
We don't think about the money.
17:17
Oh, this doesn't cost them anything.
17:19
oh, this is so nice.
17:21
and intentional. Well,
17:23
he heard that I like sunsets and he heard that I,
17:26
yes, check all of that above.
17:29
That's not what you were saying.
17:32
That is not. All right,
17:32
next one we're saying Santa Monica Pier date 5.
17:36
That's whack. I'm sorry.
17:39
Santa Monica used to be it.
17:41
It's a little, but there were gunshots.
17:46
There were gunshots a couple of months ago,
17:48
but like the little pier walk like that's.
17:51
There were cuts to us on the roller coaster.
17:55
I haven't done that.
17:55
I haven't done that roller coaster.
17:57
That shit scares me.sten,
18:00
It's I've been on a date at the pier and,
18:02
and we snuck in at like night and it wasn't cute.
18:07
It's very much like we're not serious.
18:09
We're hooking up. I bet this one,
18:13
you know, a little romantic style,
18:14
a little romantic side of me.
18:16
paddle boats at Echo Park.
18:18
Come on, I know they might stink a little bit,
18:20
but who cares, you feel me?
18:21
We're in there paddling together.
18:23
So right now we have 2 more,
18:28
and at the paddle boats I might buy you a little flowers
18:31
from the donas up there.
18:35
that's cute. That's a 3.
18:37
I think I'll do 2 for the paddle boats.
18:40
You're not a fan of it.
18:43
What did they do to you?
18:44
I want dinner. Who said you're not getting dinner after it
18:48
No, you didn't say that though.
18:49
You said like we're going to paddle,
18:51
and yeah, I'd rather go do a spin class.
18:53
look, if you would have said and dinner,
18:55
then that changes things.
18:57
And now I'm thinking,
18:58
oh, it's 12.99 to go do the paddle boards.
19:00
This is another or the like it's.
19:03
And then the last one,
19:04
and this is like that sussbushy,
19:07
that sushi spot at the hills.
19:08
What's the Oh, I knew my my number 1 at night
19:14
I think I only have 5 left,
19:17
You're putting it at 5.
19:18
Yeah, I put it at 1 sushi because that was my
19:21
first date with Mama.
19:22
I was like in a classical music concert at the Hollywood Bowl
19:26
that's romantic. That's what's up.
19:28
I just learned how to eat sushi like 3 years ago.
19:32
yeah, see, I don't love sushi.
19:33
I love Yamashiro though.
19:35
So other options, yeah,
19:37
and I've been there.
19:38
I've never been there.
19:39
I've never been there.
19:42
And you know where else I haven't been?
19:43
Where, where can we celebrate you?
19:45
You know, you know where else I haven't been where people
19:48
it's like an influencer spot where all the,
19:50
it's like all bunch of lights.
19:52
If it's an influencer spots,
19:53
it's by me. They have,
19:55
it's like a bunch of lights,
19:56
lights. 00, why don't we go?
20:00
Oh, that could have been one.
20:01
Bless you. They have jazz concerts there every Friday.
20:05
Friday at LACMA and do people set up their picnics.
20:09
It's free and you just pull up.
20:10
It's free. You get wine bottles,
20:13
food. You could take whatever and dude,
20:14
it's so fun. That would be my number one.
20:18
That is a perfect place.
20:20
That was my honorable.
20:21
That was my honorable mention.
20:22
That was good. That's a good one.
20:24
I highly recommend. Highly my number one would have been a
20:27
Malibu sunset. At a specific beach that I don't reveal unless
20:33
really, really like and trust you,
20:39
no, I don't gatekeep because people have done me dirty.
20:43
yeah, anyways, and then after that you take PCH and
20:47
you've got two restaurant options,
20:49
Paradise Cove or, or,
20:51
or. The seafood place on PCH.
20:56
So you don't need to take me to Nobu,
20:58
but you do need to take me to the beach.
20:59
See, like, I have my,
21:00
I have my setup for that.
21:02
I have my honor bar,
21:03
Jenny ice cream. $100 under $100.
21:09
don't mention the price attached because you could do something cheap and
21:13
I'm giving you pointers.
21:15
You can do something cheap,
21:17
but you can do it intentionally,
21:18
but I like to celebrate those little things that it's like,
21:20
yo, I'm saving right now and this is crazy because now
21:23
we can. Do 10 more things.
21:25
That's all I'm not saying like I'm saving money so I can
21:29
Z. No, it's for us to like,
21:31
oh, next time we go out,
21:32
I'm gonna blotar wherever we go because I got extra money because
21:34
this cost us nothing.
21:37
It's, it's jazz night free 99.
21:41
You know what I mean?
21:42
We went to a little wine shop.
21:44
We got a wine over there to spend like $15 on the
21:47
wine. That's all it cost that day,
21:49
$15 but it was romantic,
21:52
and that's what we like.
21:53
We like romance. We don't look at the price.
21:58
I'm not materialistic. Me neither.
22:00
But if I know someone's only hanging out with me or doing
22:02
something with me because it's cheap and it's easy,
22:05
that doesn't make me feel valued as a person.
22:09
That's true. The intention,
22:10
so no price mentions,
22:13
especially when I'm driving across the city to get there.
22:16
Yeah, yeah, but yeah,
22:22
I mean, those are our top five blind picks.
22:26
I'm trying to think what else,
22:29
it, it's the dating scene out here is just like I
22:32
haven't done, I haven't gone to a lot of places,
22:33
so it's usually the first time for me as well,
22:36
wherever, whatever I pick,
22:37
we can give suggestions,
22:38
whatever I pick. I'm an A-lister now at AMC,
22:41
so that's pretty cool.
22:43
You have that. That's also cheap,
22:45
but if she likes movies,
22:47
it's intentional. If she likes movies,
22:49
but you also want a place to talk because I know
22:52
for my first date it was really nice to talk at Yamashiro
22:54
but we couldn't say shit at the classical music because the
22:57
people kept looking up when we were trying to get to know
22:59
each other and we're like,
23:00
Oh shit, like you can't say shit.
23:01
So we just. And I was like,
23:05
but like this, but it led to a second date because
23:10
you couldn't get to know each other during the first date and
23:13
you left wanting more.
23:17
yeah, yeah, of course Rob,
23:18
I see what you did there.
23:19
I see what you did there.
23:21
He locked in. He locked in the second episode.
23:23
That's. Oh, another great date,
23:27
the Hollywood Bowl for anything,
23:30
anything. I got my thing with the Hollywood Bowl.
23:34
yeah, you can take things from outside.
23:35
I like the Hollywood Bowl.
23:37
The amount of traffic I've sat in because of the bowl has
23:42
But you can park elsewhere.
23:43
I used to live across.
23:44
Oh, you lived around there.
23:45
You know how bad that gets.
23:47
I'm talking about like Jenny,
23:49
like 45 minutes to get out of the garage because I lived
23:52
there's strategies. You can park elsewhere,
23:54
but it's so romantic.
23:55
I'm just, you just learned,
23:56
don't park inside. We have a in the building.
23:58
Don't, don't park inside,
24:00
You graduated there. I always drive by.
24:03
I got pooped on 3 times during my graduation ceremony.
24:07
By birds because fun fact,
24:09
there's a bunch of that's a good look though that's what I
24:12
learned after I'll tell you in the moment it didn't feel that
24:14
way. I was wearing a fully white dress.
24:18
at least they kind of blended,
24:19
right. Thank God one of them that we held roses.
24:23
They landed on the rose and then my arm and then dress
24:27
but I did learn that it's good luck.
24:32
yeah. So, well guys.
24:35
I think that wraps it up,
24:37
right? Yes, I think so too.
24:39
Wait, I do wanna say there's mi gente Latino potential history
24:45
happening. Oh, I think I know.
24:48
Mother, where's the candle?
24:52
Let's put it out there.
24:53
We might be speaking with.
24:56
The queen of migente Latino,
24:57
we got to turn on the candle so that happens.
25:00
We need to say a prayer.
25:04
Maybe we take it to her,
25:09
Latino. That would be cool if she signs it.
25:15
imagine we have her.
25:15

25:17
