00:07
Welcome back to Me Too Daily.
00:09
I'm Jenny and I'm Alejandro,
00:11
and we're back, but we don't have much interesting things to
00:15
say, so we're just gonna get to it.
00:18
I'm kidding. Let's get to you.
00:21
The FDA has issued an order today that will ban red number
00:25
3 from food products and ingested drugs.
00:29
The dye, which was approved for use in 1907,
00:31
has been banned in cosmetics and topical drugs since 1990 over evidence
00:35
that it can cause cancer.
00:37
Its use in food is already banned or restricted in Australia,
00:40
Japan, and countries in the EU.
00:42
Honestly, we lay as to the party,
00:45
brothers since 1990 just saying I'm like we know like we've been
00:49
knowing. I mean I could see like some class action lawsuits
00:53
happening I mean I don't know because I do not want to
00:56
risk my life just to eat something that's red like I don't
01:00
Care if it's another color.
01:02
Definitely,, but again this is a step forward,
01:06
right? People have been seeing post about like it's baby steps
01:08
but hey it's progress.
01:10
right? So right number 3 is commonly found in candy,
01:15
including candy corn sprinkles and strawberry and sure.
01:18
What about Hot Cheetos?
01:19
I don't know about that.
01:20
Let's see what we'll keep reading.
01:21
So food manufacturers will have until January.
01:24
15 2027 to remove it from all products while makers of ingested
01:29
drugs will have until January 18,
01:32
like let me ask if my favorites have red dye.
01:34
OK sister, so here's the big ones that we're losing.
01:37
Alright, so the list includes little bits,
01:39
party cake, mini muffins.
01:41
Never had those. OK,
01:42
me neither. But however,
01:46
Starburst flavored. Oh,
01:49
OK, so just the Starburst flavor,
01:51
I guess, but aren't they all red or have some kind
01:53
of red? This is the red one.
01:56
Yeah, the red 10 no,
01:58
cosmic brownies, dude I'm not,
02:03
I was gonna say I'll buy you a box,
02:04
but maybe not until after this,
02:09
hey, here's this unhealthy food,
02:11
but no I'll wait for the for the rebrand,
02:14
and then strawberry ring pops that's my favorite flavor.
02:19
Well, look, just hold off for how many years is
02:22
it? 2 years at least and then when these are healthier
02:28
I'm just scared to have candy in general.
02:31
All that dies and it just can't be good for you.
02:33
Well, I'm glad that these reds are dying.
02:40
It's not the same guy,
02:43
it's good, good news.
02:45
It's a good joke too.
02:46
It's a good joke don't there.
02:49
Alright, let's move on.
02:51
So sis, you know how Walgreens lock up everything behind the
02:53
glass? Yeah, I hate that.
02:56
Like I gotta let everyone know that like I smell like sobaco
03:00
and I gotta ring the bell for deodorant.
03:03
Exactly, and I'm sure everyone feels the same way you do
03:07
Walgreens CEO Tim Wentworth says that the anti shoplifting strategy has backfired
03:12
He said, and I quote,
03:14
When you lock things up,
03:15
you don't sell as many of them.
03:18
I mean, that's when you lose the customer the first few
03:21
seconds are crucial. Like nobody wants to wait 45 minutes because
03:26
and they have a whole public announcement to just get some basic
03:30
needs out of a cage.
03:31
I'm telling you. Exactly what is it?
03:34
Assistance needed a feminine care.
03:36
It's like. That's the worst.
03:38
I'm really like, dude,
03:39
I'm just trying to get some like,
03:40
like I don't want people knowing that I lose that time of
03:42
the month, you know what I mean?
03:45
And honestly, like that strategy I think was a hot mess
03:48
right? Like all it did was wanna make us order
03:50
more stuff online and just go shopping elsewhere.
03:52
Yeah, dude on Amazon you have it the next day and
03:55
that's it, and it's always the same store at every spot
03:58
right? Like what you said you press the button and
04:00
you're waiting. But then it sucks because only one person running
04:03
the whole store. They're always so understaffed.
04:06
It's they're doing the register.
04:07
They're doing stocking. Oh,
04:09
and now Jenny needs pads,
04:10
so gotta run over there and help they replace people with computers
04:14
So check out at least mine like they,
04:17
they point out to the.
04:18
Computers so you can check out yeah like if it's locked up
04:21
though I don't I don't need it that bad.
04:23
You know what someone in the thread was saying like,
04:25
oh what if they have like memberships like kind of like a
04:27
TSA precheck like yo if you have a membership you've been vetted
04:30
and you can go in without these lockers and the glass so
04:33
I mean yeah that'd be kind of cool,
04:37
this is, this is about something more.
04:39
This is about freedom.
04:41
You gotta free the pads.
04:43
You gotta free the deodorant.
04:45
You gotta free the vapor,
04:46
the Q-tips. You gotta condoms,
04:48
the condoms free them,
04:50
free them, because in this economy,
04:54
everyone wants to just do it.
04:57
Dating rumors are zooming that Sofia Vergara and Lewis Hamilton were spotted
05:04
in New York and they're dating.
05:06
No way, but you know what,
05:08
if you think about it,
05:09
it's like Bad Bunny,
05:10
right? He said it has that one lyric Los Carlos de
05:12
euno somarapi persona. Sofia Vergara is Linda from Malia and persona
05:18
that went together yeah he kind of like.
05:21
He knew he knew the F1 and then but he didn't say
05:25
who but F one in general,
05:26
right? I mean he loves the Colombianas then if that's true
05:33
he'd be loving them Colombianas like just even but does he does
05:36
he even know how to speak Spanish?
05:39
Sister, I don't think you really need that,
05:40
right? Like look at Bad Bunny and what's the name
05:44
they were saying, oh,
05:44
he doesn't speak Spanish or whatever.
05:46
I mean Duolingo exists and he was on the fast track and
05:49
they get to learn from each other.
05:52
And then, but Sofia wasn't she with that sexy surgeon remember
05:57
we talked about that?
06:00
yeah, maybe he was a rebound,
06:02
maybe because yeah I was right after her,
06:04
yeah., I don't know.
06:06
There are some things that are like,
06:11
I don't know if you guys know our Colombian correspondent in-house,
06:13
but we heard that remember how she he was kind of with
06:17
Shakira last year, like kind of yeah so Shakira and and
06:21
Sofia are apparently from the same neighborhood in Colombia.
06:26
Barranquia so I don't know maybe he just likes that area.
06:33
Well, I hate to break it to you.
06:35
Unfortunately there were 4 people at that table,
06:38
so it wasn't just them two.
06:39
So I have to just throw that out there.
06:42
it could be double date,
06:44
but it could be a business deal in the works.
06:46
Oh. Maybe it's like a PR thing for F1 with Louis
06:50
and then or maybe he wants to be an actor he wants
06:53
but let's just say that whole thing with Bad Bunny and Kendall
06:57
start off as a rumor and it was true.
06:59
So this could be a rumor,
07:02
he might, they might be dating damn bro,
07:04
he's putting the pedal to the metal with this 10 for sure
07:07
he's getting top of the line.
07:09
Sophia Vergara, that's but I mean,
07:13
what do you guys think?
07:14
Is it official? Is it legit or PR.
07:23
So I keep hearing people say Bad Bunny is back,
07:26
but did he ever really leave?
07:28
I don't know why people say that.
07:30
I mean like he's back with new music,
07:33
but he never really left,
07:35
you know, like I feel like he's always,
07:38
you know, been locked in the playlist.
07:40
Obviously if he has any in here,
07:41
he busts with a new album this month,
07:45
and I mean, have you heard the whole album?
07:49
I have. And I could tell like the people are
07:53
loving it, especially the fact that he embraces,
07:55
you know, his cultura and I feel like I'm learning more
07:58
and more about Puerto Rican culture,
08:00
so you gotta listen to the songs like again it's they're jams
08:03
but they also have some,
08:04
you know, some messages in there.
08:06
oh yeah, mad appreciation for it,
08:08
but here to help us break down the vitiarmas photos and its
08:13
ties to Puerto Rico is Senor Edison.
08:19
Living legend. Oh what he came ready.
08:35
I got my weed already.
08:35
I don't know. I'm in San Juan.
08:35
Oh my God, he's flexing on dude,
08:36
I'm getting mad ready for you guys.
08:37
You guys gotta come out here.
08:38
Come visit, come stay.
08:42
I mean it's like we're down,
08:43
but. Before we get into it,
08:45
I don't know if you heard our conversation,
08:46
but you let us know.
08:49
Bad Bunny never left.
08:51
but more Puerto Rican than ever.
08:58
I saw you went last night.
09:00
Like you went last night.
09:01
How was it? Catch us up.
09:04
So I just landed last night here in San Juan from Miami
09:07
and my friend Grecia picked me up and we went to
09:10
eat Apinones. Hi Grecia and then we,
09:13
we just see like a a story that said from Bad
09:15
Bunny said pull up Laboricua at 8 p.m. and then we
09:18
looked at each other and we're like,
09:19
all right, we gotta pay the bill.
09:21
It was like 7:30 and then it was 20 minutes away.
09:23
We got there and already the it was la gente get tabanga
09:27
it was packed like sardines.
09:29
Oh man, I know I saw I was like damn what
09:32
I would do to be there.
09:43
Talking about the album,
09:43
like, what's your favorite track from the Bir Armasotos so far
09:47
Every day my favorite song changes.
09:51
vile no viable because I love salsa.
09:54
I love salsa so much and I'm glad that he's bringing this
09:56
resurgence to Salsa. I feel like our generation,
09:58
you know, kind of this,
09:59
this,, disconnected from that from our parents,
10:03
but then that became the number one song.
10:04
He brought a salsa to number one in Apple Music in the
10:07
first time in history.
10:09
Chills., and then it became Dealmasotos,
10:13
just because it feels like such a raw,
10:16
especially for Puerto Ricans,
10:17
you know, I wasn't raised here.
10:20
my parents had me in Florida because of the lack of opportunity
10:22
here. And so that song is all about,
10:25
you know, missing people that I have to leave,
10:27
and that's why the chairs are empty on the album cover and
10:29
stuff like that too.
10:30
And then he brought that song,
10:34
Number one on Apple Music.
10:35
I would have never thought of playing I would be #1 on
10:37
Apple Music. What are your thoughts on Rolling Stone,
10:40
give this album a 10 out of 10?
10:42
I honestly, before this album came out,
10:45
I was nervous because I said,
10:46
you know, it's gonna be very cultural.
10:48
I love it. Personally,
10:48
I gave it a 10 out of 10 already like listening the
10:51
first thing, but I did not expect the world to receive
10:54
it so, so well the way they did.
10:57
And I'm grateful for it,
10:58
you know. I feel like when he embraces his culture,
11:02
that's when people go like ape shit like they go crazy when
11:06
he comes back to the roots.
11:08
And so I guess about more going back to the roots,
11:11
how do you feel about Bad Bunny addressing gentrification about
11:14
you know, in Puerto Rico on the album?
11:16
So this is something that Bad Bunny has been doing since uminti
11:20
remember for the music video for La Paon.
11:23
my friend Bianca Graulla,
11:24
you know, directed that whole,
11:26
I think it was 12 minute documentary talking about the
11:28
gentrification,, and she actually filmed that right here,
11:32
where we talk about the Dominican lady who,
11:33
who was almost kicked out about her,
11:35
her apartment right here that's in that music video.
11:39
the residency that he's doing in Puerto Rico,
11:43
he's released a travel package and he puts it on his store
11:45
I know if you guys saw yesterday,
11:47
and you know, I think he's going through the local route
11:49
where he's offering people to come to Puerto Rico but doing it
11:52
the right way, doing tourism the right way locally owned Airbnbs
11:55
owned by locals to shine a light on the
11:56
gentrification that's happening on here with a lot of Americans coming,
11:59
you know, with the tax incentives and all that.
12:01
He's really going above and beyond for,
12:03
for his people and to bring tourism.
12:06
And to support like local owned like businesses,
12:11
I love that he's a man of the people.
12:13
That's what I like about Bad Bunny.
12:16
in the performance yesterday,
12:17
like he felt I could see he was so excited.
12:19
I've been to concerts of his in Miami where I live,
12:21
but here, like you could see the emotion.
12:22
He loves his people.
12:24
So I, I'm wondering because people are like,
12:26
He's not back because when he was dating Kendall,
12:28
anytime he posted about him,
12:33
We don't buy with him like that anymore.
12:38
He's on time out because his whole thing is about gentrification and
12:40
stuff and you know her with the tequila brand and all that
12:42
I thought it was a PR stunt,
12:44
you know, to appeal to American consumers,
12:46
who knows. But at the end of the day,
12:48
this album showed us that when you go back to your roots
12:50
and you, you're authentic to your people and who you are
12:53
oh, you can take over the world,
12:54
and that's truly what he did.
12:55
He came back to his roots.
12:56
So who is he gonna end up with?
12:58
Who, who should he end up with?
13:00
Gabriela. Exactly. Thank you.
13:02
He came back to his roots and his ex.
13:04
That's why he's always singing about her.
13:08
I love Gabriela. But Edison,
13:11
We really appreciate you being on the show.
13:13
Thank you. And for people that don't follow you,
13:15
plug your social so they can check you out.
13:16
Oh sure, I'm Edison,
13:19
with the TikTok ban I'm gonna go going on with
13:21
that, but you can follow him on Instagram and that new
13:23
Chinese app that I just downloaded.
13:30
You. You spreading the culture,
13:33
spreading the culture since day one.
13:34
Thank you guys. Take care.
