Show transcript
00:06
What is up? Welcome back to Me Too Daily.
00:08
I'm Alejandro and I'm Daniela.
00:10
And before we get into today's show,
00:12
just really quick, if you guys don't wanna see our faces
00:14
anymore, I get it.
00:15
So you can actually listen to the show wherever you get your
00:18
podcast. So,,
00:19
was it Apple, Spotify,
00:20
all that good stuff.
00:21
Be sure to check it out.
00:22
All right, let's get to the news.
00:24
The boys are officially getting cut off.
00:26
Wait, why? Which boys?
00:28
I'm talking about the ones down there,
00:30
the little swimmers. Wait.
00:33
Those boys. Yeah.
00:35
Wait, oh my god,
00:36
why? So in the wake of Donald Trump's re-election,
00:38
it appears that Americans are gearing up for a new wave of
00:41
family planning. Since the election,
00:44
vasectomy appointments have surged by 1,200%,
00:47
while IUD appointments jumped by 760% according to Planned Parenthood.
00:51
Those are some pretty big numbers.
00:53
1200. But listen.
00:55
Obviously, women, we have been scared of what Trump is
00:59
gonna do, but now men are sweating.
01:02
They're, I feel like I feel a little fear in the
01:05
air. That's a big deal and all of a sudden
01:09
pullout game isn't as strong as it used to be.
01:12
I mean those guys,
01:13
like, if you freaking,
01:14
that was your your game plan.
01:17
Yeah, I mean,
01:18
that's not the best listen.
01:19
A professional would never recommend pullout games.
01:21
But hypothetically, if that's what you were sticking to,
01:23
now is the time to tie them up.
01:25
Worse comes to worst,
01:27
you want tie in the future.
01:28
2028 should be a safer space.
01:31
Who knows what's going to happen?
01:32
And honestly, good for you guys.
01:35
You know, I,
01:35
I like to complain about birth control,
01:38
but now is my time.
01:39
I'm gonna be grateful because a vasectomy is really the bare minimum
01:43
Birth control is.
01:44
a nightmare. I mean,
01:45
is your wife on birth control?
01:46
Not now, but before we were planning for the baby,
01:50
like, yeah, she was for a good run,
01:51
and she's like, hey,
01:52
I'm off birth control and everything kind of changed over a year
01:56
Again, it's not like instant or even a month.
01:58
It's like, yeah,
01:58
like my body's kind of adjusting and then I know like weight
02:02
changes and moves, you know,
02:03
like all the chemicals and yeah just like the hormones takes control
02:08
hormones. It, it can really.
02:12
Again, that's only expression of surface.
02:14
I know for everyone,
02:15
the situation is different,
02:16
so. Yeah. So really a vasectomy is the least you
02:19
can do, gentlemen,
02:21
if you are a gentleman.
02:22
Dang, I, I like that.
02:23
You know what, but trust me guys,
02:24
condoms are cheaper than diapers and wipes and.
02:28
Daycare and food and toys.
02:34
Coughing season is hitting Kim Kardashian hard.
02:39
Yeah, the reality TV star has gotten her hands on her
02:42
very own Tesla robot.
02:45
She posted on X her interaction with her brand new Optimus personal
02:49
assistant robot, which Elon Musk introduced at his Tesla presentation just
02:54
last month. So at the start of the clip,
02:57
Kim greeted her new robot with a little wave,
03:00
getting a, getting a swift hello from Vo in return,
03:05
so the energy was reciprocated.
03:08
So then she asked if the robot was able to complete a
03:12
heart shape with her,
03:13
voicing her shock when the droid indeed offered up his hands to
03:19
pull off this action.
03:21
You get a robot and the one thing you're like.
03:26
It's like when you meet a celebrity,
03:28
like babes, that's what we do to you,
03:29
not the robot. What would you ask the robot to do
03:32
I mean, like I'd have it clean my house,
03:35
go like change the baby's diaper,
03:38
go drive me around like I mean,
03:40
but she has people that do that already,
03:42
I guess so. I was just like extra for her,
03:45
a little friend. She needs friends,
03:46
I guess, because,
03:48
yeah, again, the thing you said,
03:50
so I thought exactly.
03:51
I feel like this tells us everything about where Kim K is
03:53
at right now. She's looking for love,
03:55
and you know what,
03:56
maybe the robot is a new way of dating.
03:59
I would hate that.
04:00
It's like a sex doll man.
04:02
Anyways, what would you have your robot do?
04:04
I would have my robot be a chauffeur for me.
04:06
I want to be a deer,
04:08
OK? I want to have a car door open for me
04:11
and I don't want to rely on a man for that
04:13
I want to rely on the robot or me.
04:15
So I'm down for a little chauffeur action.
04:18
No, I think you needed to go get your Chick fil
04:19
A. Exact. Like it goes.
04:22
You don't have to go.
04:23
It walks for me,
04:25
but you know I want a little sprint because if I'm hungry
04:27
now, I want it to be in 10 minutes.
04:28
I don't want it to take a long time.
04:30
scary as hell. Just sing at you on the sidewalk.
04:35
I don't even care like Chick fil A needs to be here
04:37
in the next 15.
04:38
I'm a diva. But I,
04:41
I mean, cool,
04:42
good for her. Enjoy your new toy.
04:44
I hope to see this relationship expand.
04:49
I actually hope I don't.
04:50
That's scary, but good for you,
04:52
Kim K. Happy for you.
04:53
This is creepy. Breaking news.
04:55
Knotts very farm has not been very safe.
04:59
See what I did there?
05:01
Yeah, not very funny.
05:04
Oh, well, but look,
05:06
let me just get to the story.
05:07
So 22 people were left stuck in the air for over 2
05:10
hours after technical issues stopped the Soulspin ride at Knott's Berry Farm
05:14
The ride stopped around 2 p.m. and the riders were all
05:16
evacuated around 4:30 p.m. 2 2.5 hours,
05:21
2.5 hours stuck on a ride.
05:24
Oh. Hell no.
05:26
Hell to the no,
05:27
absolutely not, not today,
05:28
not tomorrow, not ever,
05:30
OK. Those KTLA helicopters would have had two hours of my
05:34
ass screaming from every angle,
05:36
I mean, sideways,
05:37
left, right, back,
05:38
front. No, but they for sure have you asking 4K
05:40
like, hey, Colombian girl there.
05:44
But also you're on WhatsApp,
05:46
you're trending with your oh I OK?
05:51
Well, apparently two women were taken to the hospital for precautionary
05:54
checkups. Like nothing crazy went down.
05:56
No one fell off.
05:58
They just, they got evacuated.
05:59
Have you ever been stuck on a ride or a roller coaster
06:01
Oh yeah, I was stuck on the haunted mansion for
06:04
like an hour. I don't like a really old roller coaster
06:08
no,
06:08
but have you? Yeah,
06:10
actually,, at their neighbors,
06:11
Disney. On the was it a credit coaster,
06:14
it was the worst to get stuck on there.
06:16
It was almost over too.
06:17
I was like, bro,
06:18
like we're almost there,
06:19
cool. And I'm like we were there for a good hour
06:21
I think too,
06:22
and then, and they make you get off like on the
06:23
roller coaster itself. It was like little Escalera there.
06:26
Yeah, and so.
06:27
Wait, so you had to like get rescued.
06:31
Technically, yeah, they carried me.
06:33
No. No, we got like a fast pass.
06:37
You could have died and all they do is give you a
06:39
pass. The drizzle up there was no joke,
06:42
but I'm glad no one got hurt,
06:43
but there 2 hours of just hanging in there for free.
06:48
Again, not very good.
06:52
Not very safe. All right,
06:54
me too Daily. Today we are thrilled to welcome hilarious comedian
06:59
unapologetically fool Colombiana queen,
07:01
Isa Medina to the studio.
07:06
Thank you for having me.
07:07
Thank you for joining us.
07:09
It's a pleasure, pleasure meeting you in the flesh.
07:11
Yes, yes. So I have a kind of a crazy
07:15
family, you know,
07:16
they're very religious-esque 7 Day Adventists,
07:22
and so I have a lot of traumas,
07:23
a lot of traumas,
07:24
a lot of issues.
07:25
And then as I'm getting older,
07:26
I'm like, OK,
07:27
I need to take matters into my own hands.
07:30
So I'm starting to think maybe I should start doing therapy.
07:34
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
07:35
I know you had a bit about therapy.
07:37
Can you give some advice?
07:39
Yeah, I love therapy.
07:41
OK, Latinxtherapy.com, shout out.
07:44
that's where I found my girl,
07:46
but it's a good thing that you're thinking about it
07:48
you know what I mean?
07:49
You gotta do what you got to do.
07:52
You know, we're breaking traumas generationally,
07:54
and it's a lot of work and you can't do it all
07:56
alone. So I know that like parents,
07:59
you know, sometimes don't agree with therapy and they're like.
08:07
Exactly they're like you gotta work you gotta do what you gotta
08:09
do like work harder so that you aren't sad.
08:12
How therapy helps with your family and have you had any
08:16
like backlash with your mom like,
08:19
oh my God. Yeah,
08:21
oh my gosh, it's a learning curve for sure.
08:24
Like I've, I've been in therapy now like consistently for 5
08:27
years and so I do think that when you first start and
08:30
you start like setting boundaries with your mom and like doing.
08:32
Stuff like your parents are like,
08:35
oh like you don't think I sacrificed for you?
08:37
You like, you know what I mean like oh like it's
08:39
like the automatic thing of like your mom oh OK when no
08:41
I know. OK,
08:42
I'm a horrible mom.
08:43
OK, no, you know,
08:45
like, but it's like it's a process of like bringing them
08:49
in, leaning out,
08:50
bringing them in, leaning out and like with my mom I
08:53
always talk about how like when I set boundaries with her I
08:55
have to do little things that like keep her happy,
08:57
you know, I'm like,
08:58
OK, if I'm not calling you every day I'll share my
09:00
location. So you can check it on the app,
09:04
take a little a little,
09:05
right? Yeah, take a little a little and like slowly
09:08
learning those things, but it really was this thing where like
09:11
the first time I told my parents I wanted to go to
09:13
therapy, which was because I was like,
09:14
oh I think I might be queer,
09:16
and I wanted to talk about it with someone that wasn't my
09:18
parents. Everyone in my family was like.
09:20
Oh, so you think you're crazy.
09:21
Like, you know,
09:22
ta loca you have to go to therapy.
09:25
Like, no, like I just want to talk to someone
09:28
who isn't you. Yeah,
09:29
yeah, yeah, someone who's not going to tell me,
09:31
yes, so they had the exactly,
09:31
exactly. And then,
09:36
you know, the holidays are upon us.
09:40
Going home for the holidays,
09:42
what does that look like to you?
09:43
Is that, does that mean going to back to the East
09:45
Coast? Does that mean going to Colombia?
09:47
I go home for the holidays,
09:48
which is the East Coast like DC suburbs,
09:51
DMV. I spend Christmas with my family and then I usually
09:54
go to Colombia for New Year's.
09:55
Oh yeah, because of the party.
09:58
I can't, I can't miss La Fiesta la rumba.
10:01
I'm like I'd rather just go to Colombia and know I'm.
10:04
Go to like salsa and like not have to like figure out
10:08
a plan in America.
10:09
It just hits different.
10:10
All right, so we do have this little game that we
10:13
want to play with you.
10:14
We know that you're bilingual,
10:17
bicoastal, bisexual, and we know that you've had to deal
10:23
with two large pools in the dating toxicos and toxic.
10:28
They're out there they are.
10:30
So we want to give you some situations and you know tell
10:34
us like which, you know,
10:35
which side deals with it better,
10:38
toxic or the toxic.
10:40
I love it. And if you combine them toxic because they're
10:44
out there're out there and we love them.
10:46
So we'll give you these right here.
10:48
So choosing a restaurant,
10:49
who do you think deals deals with that better?
10:52
I think. Toxicos because they give the emotional labor to the
10:57
woman and they're like,
10:59
oh, you pick,
11:00
like, what do you want?
11:01
It's like, what do you want?
11:03
Sometimes we don't know what we want and you've got to decide
11:05
Sexting. Oh,
11:07
I think toxicos. bastards,
11:12
yeah, just because it happens more because they're more likes,
11:17
you know, all right,
11:18
meeting the parents, you know this is hard and layered because
11:23
technicamente toxicas because women are emotionally intelligent and Good and soft and
11:29
kind, but we know Latinos can be a little homophobic,
11:32
so no questions asked.
11:34
It's like I'm with a guy,
11:35
and that is something that I'm trying to figure out right now
11:37
you know. It's like,
11:38
am I trying to deal with toxicity within my relationship or toxicity
11:42
with my family, you know.
11:47
Arguing Toxicas are more toxic.
11:49
She gets you where it hurts.
11:51
I can win an argument with a toxico.
11:53
Fair enough. dancing with out at a party or at the
11:57
clerk toxic. But only again because it's like then you don't
12:00
have the eyes on you.
12:02
The norm, the social norms,
12:03
yeah, and it's like,
12:04
man, you guys are,
12:06
you kind of put me into a corner here.
12:09
No, it is.
12:09
I mean, even like dancing,
12:11
like when I go out dancing like I do sometimes.
12:12
Like if I'm in a stray bar or something,
12:14
I do have to be like extra aware subconsciously you never know
12:19
you know, getting along with your friends.
12:21
It depends on the person,
12:21
it's like always you choose,
12:21
you choose the people that are and it depends on the friends
12:32
yeah, that's true.
12:33
