01:40
thanks for joining. Us and obviously we're excited to be back
01:43
so let's get into it.
01:44
Well, 2025 is a an interesting start at a press conference
01:48
in Mar a Lago,
01:49
Trump announced that he wants to change the name of the Gulf
01:51
of Mexico as well as a bunch of other random stuff.
01:54
He just started yapping.
01:55
We're gonna be,,
01:57
changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to.
02:01
The Gulf of America,
02:02
bro, ask for this.
02:05
Like, talk about priorities,
02:07
my friend. Like,
02:09
will this bring down the cost of living like for the average
02:11
American, he talking about groceries and all that stuff like I'm
02:15
gonna do what I can,
02:16
but then he's like,
02:17
I don't know what I can do.
02:17
The eggs are going up.
02:18
I mean like eggs out there to to buy and there's no
02:28
eggs. Oh my gosh.
02:30
But like, can we even stop it?
02:32
Like, is this something that's gonna change like nationally like just
02:34
on our maps or like me worldwide?
02:37
Like how is this an issue?
02:38
Maybe it's like to piss off Claudia Sheenbaum because like then you
02:42
start talking about even maybe making Canada the 51st state of the
02:45
United States and then something about buying Greenland,
02:49
Greenland. I guess he got it like that.
02:51
Dude, like I can't even buy a home,
02:53
my friend. Oh my God,
02:54
bro, isn't like a trillion dollars of debt?
02:57
Oh dude, he's not even in office and I pissed.
03:00
Like, come on,
03:01
like make housing more affordable like.
03:05
Ah, it's gonna be a long 4 years,
03:07
I mean, so get ready for more of this.
03:09
So Pornhub is now blocked in 17 states including Texas,
03:13
Florida, and South Carolina.
03:15
Wait, so the government is cock blocking us?
03:17
Pretty much, yeah,
03:19
so as of January of this year,
03:20
there are 17 states with restrictions are enforcing age verification laws for
03:24
viewing porn sites, which means you essentially have to show your
03:27
ID to watch Pornhub in those states.
03:30
So now the DMV is gonna know my kinks.
03:33
Facts, dude, imagine you're applying and stuff and like I
03:36
I like mine says donor,
03:38
but they'll say boner if I watch Pornhub or something,
03:41
you know what I'm saying?
03:43
sorry dad joke, but,
03:45
yeah, so the parent company of Pornhub,
03:48
I love,,
03:49
I know they were owned by ILO,
03:51
but that's cool,,
03:51
has decided to restrict access to all of those 17 states.
03:55
Wow, Pornhub. game is very on brand.
04:01
They said any regulations that require hundreds of thousands of adult sites
04:04
to collect significant amounts of highly sensitive personal information is putting user
04:09
safety in jeopardy. And you know what they're right.
04:11
Shout out Pornhub for looking out for us.
04:14
Porn is the Netflix,
04:16
but there's that's why there's,
04:19
but I'm not saying there's.
04:21
Wicked Wicked from last year?
04:23
Wicked.com, not Wicked Movie.
04:25
Since this announcement, VPNs have searched about 1,500% in Texas as
04:31
people try to attempt to bypass the state's porn blocks through right
04:35
technology that hides their actual location.
04:38
Yeah, I mean,
04:39
I get how porn can be kind of like toxic,
04:41
especially for young people,
04:43
but I mean, I think it like also like,
04:46
I mean sometimes you just,
04:47
you just, you just wanna just.
04:51
You know, there's a lot of out there,
04:54
that I think need it,
04:55
need a little, a little,
04:58
I mean, look,
04:59
let's just. No,
05:02
no, if I talk about my relationship on this show,
05:03
my wife will kill me.
05:05
you know,
05:05
we had a baby recently and it's been a little tough.
05:07
But so anyways, look,
05:09
there's a lot of people that agree with you.
05:10
Porn is OK, but in moderation,
05:12
in moderation for sure.
05:14
But it's crazy because Trump's a 2025 states explicitly that pornography should
05:21
be outlawed and the people who produce it and distribute it should
05:24
be in prison. Interesting.
05:27
That is, that is very interesting.
05:28
Why do you say that?
05:30
I mean, like it's like come on my porn star that's
05:36
why I'm saying it's like at the end of the day,
05:39
dude, like you're you're probably like horny,
05:43
never mind. I can't say this on the show.
05:45
I mean, we know,
05:47
yeah, he. Yeah,
05:52
yeah, but,,
05:52
so look, people are just gonna use on the website,
05:54
I think, right at the end of the day,
05:55
what do you think?
05:56
They're going to go around it.
05:57
Especially us Mexicans, you know,
06:11
we'll freaking go in there bay that shit.
06:11
Like we'll go in there with bro flash drive,
06:11
yeah, exactly like Latino remix.
06:12
This is like, you know,
06:13
big booties like in Cancun.
06:15
I don't know like.
06:19
Oh my God. Let's check in in a few months and
06:23
I feel like that could probably happen but this is crazy.
06:27
We go around, you know,
06:28
we go around stuff.
06:30
People. Yo, send us that construction worker deal because bumming
06:33
that ci might just cost you 20 minutes of Earth time.
06:37
Oh, Earth time as in lifetime.
06:39
Oh yeah, I saw that.
06:40
Yeah, exactly. Oh my God,
06:43
you can also send it to that one or mo in Mexico
06:47
because you know they they have a to go buy cigarettes and
06:50
I would go visit,
06:52
but anyways, each cigarette,
06:54
that someone smokes apparently on average can take about 20
06:57
minutes after life expectancy overall.
07:00
According to his research based on British smokers.
07:04
Oi, is that what they say?
07:06
Oi oi, bruv.
07:07
Researchers at University College London estimate the loss of life expectancy per
07:11
cigarette at about 70 minutes for men and 22 minutes for women
07:16
What? So one cigarette equals 20 minutes.
07:20
Pretty much. So all those pack a day people basically smoking
07:24
hours of their life away.
07:26
I know people like,
07:28
like packs and packs,
07:31
yeah, but still kick in and she's,
07:34
but I don't know,
07:34
but maybe because they already,
07:37
yeah, seriously, shout out to Rosa,
07:39
but I feel like the earth is already on fire.
07:41
Like I don't know,
07:42
I just bet young people are just smoking cis.
07:43
They're like. The global warming's fucked,
07:46
like the winds like crazy,
07:48
you know, like I gotta feel something,
07:50
you feel me? Honestly,
07:52
I would like to see like the same study for vapes,
07:56
because I honestly feel like vapes like they they target like young
08:00
people with the flavors.
08:02
When you get to a certain point of a vape cartridge,
08:04
it feels like you're smoking the battery and like that's when it
08:07
hits the hardest and like,
08:08
I don't know if I'm high off the The thing that I'm
08:10
supposed to be high off of,
08:11
or it's a battery that I'm smoking now,
08:13
but I'm good. The battery.
08:15
That does not sound good.
08:18
Oh, it sounds gross.
08:20
Well, guys, there you have it.
08:22
The cigarette takes 20 minutes of your life,
08:24
so the choice is yours.
08:26
It it. The 2025 awards season has kicked off with the
08:30
Golden Globes. Osamic chime,
08:33
Zendaya getting engaged? Dude,
08:36
finally, and Amelia Perez.
08:39
Oh dude, I've been seeing Amelia Perez everywhere.
08:42
Oh yeah, brother.
08:43
Emmilio Perez was named best motion picture for a musical or comedy
08:49
even beating out wicked.
08:52
Wait, wicked, like the wicked one that just came out
08:55
Dude, that thing slap like the songs like the popular
08:59
you're gonna be popular.
09:03
You'll be good at sports?
09:04
Yeah, that one.
09:05
It got, it got beat by penis,
09:08
vagina, penis to vagina,
09:10
vagina to penis. I don't know,
09:12
but I mean I saw it on X and I was like
09:15
what? They're like,
09:16
this is the movie that beat Wicked and it was that like
09:20
clip and I was like,
09:21
no way. So it made history for having Carla Sofia Gascon
09:26
as the first trans actress ever nominated for a Golden Globe,
09:30
and Selena Gomez was praised for her grace when losing to her
09:34
co-star, Zoe Santana,
09:35
who won for Best Acress,
09:37
which, you know,
09:37
we're all for representation,
09:39
all for representation, but I just feel like,
09:42
like, come on,
09:43
make a good representation.
09:44
I mean, I haven't seen this song.
09:46
I mean, I'm talking.
09:48
I only saw 10 minutes.
09:50
But that's what I'm saying,
09:51
brother. Look, I will give,
09:53
I will give a movie 10 minutes,
09:56
and if I don't like it,
09:58
I'm out. You lost me.
09:59
You lost me. Like I feel like I've seen the movie
10:01
because people kept putting clips on X and then,
10:03
you know, on TikTok with the audios and so you go
10:06
like the what's it called,
10:08
the commentary on it.
10:10
So we did a post about Emilia Perez,
10:13
you know, and,
10:14
and the wind and everything,
10:15
the reactions and everything.
10:17
Dude, the comments were wild.
10:19
All right, well,
10:19
let's check out these comments from Apis Cannabis.
10:23
The only thing I liked about the movie was Zoe Sandana.
10:26
She did an amazing job,
10:27
and you can tell she's been practicing for her Spanish more and
10:29
took the role seriously.
10:31
The wording of that kind of caught me off guard.
10:33
What? She's been practicing her Spanish more.
10:35
Is that a jab at Selena?
10:36
I don't know, but let's,
10:37
OK. OK, so this one.
10:39
It is so not personal,
10:40
I swear, but the accent Selena had was giving bodesta a
10:45
biblioteca. It was so distracting.
10:49
Eugenio shouldn't have apologized.
10:51
Dang, you heard about that Eugenio beef or like this drama
10:56
like yeah, I think Eugenio said.
11:00
What many were afraid to say.
11:04
Yeah, as much as people dragged,
11:06
he was right in the end,
11:08
shake my head. He's coming up.
11:11
It's because, I mean,
11:13
I think the controversy of it all and the fact that it
11:15
won, when a movie wins an award,
11:18
it makes people want to watch it,
11:20
you know, like the more people start watching it after,
11:22
so now people are being like.
11:23
What? Like has like a seal of approval,
11:25
but then you're like,
11:26
wait, wait, wait,
11:27
I saw like and oh yeah,
11:30
yeah, yeah, so I mean.
11:33
Oh man, I get my glasses off for this one.
11:36
I wait. You want to read this one?
11:38
I'll read it. The French director's dismissal of research.
11:43
Claiming to know enough about Mexico is an insult to the richness
11:48
of Mexican cultura and the complexity of its current political climate.
11:54
It's a glaring example of how global narratives often erase authenticity,
11:58
especially when the cast excludes Latinos and Mexicans in Latin America,
12:02
hearing accents that don't reflect the region and seeing like.
12:06
OK, I, I,
12:07
it's a lot. I think it's a lot,
12:10
but the first line,
12:11
I think I get it,
12:11
it's, it's,,
12:14
and I think it's interesting because in the past we've seen this
12:17
kind of like, you know,
12:18
push back or like at least,
12:19
you know, kind of concerned with like narcos,
12:21
right? When Narcos was in Colombia and they went to Mexico
12:23
too, but I think Colombia was like the main one that
12:25
kicked it off, right?
12:26
And now Mexico is kind of seeing that like,
12:27
yo, like see like this also happens to Mexicans like they
12:30
just assume that you're X,
12:32
Y and Z and again because people don't do their research or
12:35
no. enough about Mexico that you get this like story that's
12:39
not really authentic and I'm just interested in a French director.
12:43
Maybe he he just freaking has that like,
12:47
you know, that clout and there are some directors that,
12:50
you know, don't aren't a specific,
12:52
you know, ethnicity but they,
12:53
they immerse they do their research,
12:54
yeah. But Homeboy seems like he didn't really do that and
13:00
so that's why I was like,
13:00
OK, cool, he's French,
13:01
but the fact that he's like,
13:02
no, no, I get these people and he doesn't really
13:05
so it's like.
13:06
Yeah, it's giving less cultural appreciation,
13:09
more cultural appropriation, do you think?
13:11
Oh yeah, I mean,
13:12
look, I didn't even see it,
13:13
but so are the comments wrong or?
13:15
I mean, like I said,
13:17
I only saw 10 minutes.
13:19
I saw enough. And all I have to say is,
13:22
Eugenio, we're sorry.
13:25
Kevin O'Leary, a Shark Tank investor,
13:27
announced on Monday that he is joining a bid to buy the
13:31
US operations of TikTok.
13:32
Isn't he for that reason I'm out guy?
13:36
No, no, I think that's the basketball,
13:38
Mark Cuban.
13:39
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:40
So this guy is known as,
13:41
Mr. Wonderful,
13:43
and he says like,
13:44
you're dead to me.
13:45
When people like don't go with these deals,
13:49
they turned down. Oh,
13:50
he is if he's rescuing TikTok,
13:52
he is Mr. Wonderful.
13:54
We'll see,,
13:56
so over the weekend he visited Donald Trump at the Mar a
13:58
Lago to talk about his plan,
14:00
right? O'Leary's teaming up with Frank McCour,
14:02
former owner of the LA Dodgers,
14:04
to try and take control of TikTok's US business.
14:08
He said it's about protecting the privacy of 170 million American users
14:12
It's about empowering careers.
14:14
Small businesses and it's about building a platform that prioritizes people of
14:18
our algorithms, AKA we want your data.
14:20
That's what I see,
14:22
right? What else do we want that's that's what I see
14:25
the dancing, they want the they want the money and they
14:30
want to control what we view,
14:34
the algorithm. Right now they don't have control about what we
14:37
see, what we're exposed to.
14:39
My question is, does Mr.
14:41
Wonderful have enough cash to do it?
14:44
So TikTok is valued at about 20 to 100 billion,
14:46
right? And Mr.
14:48
Wonderful's net worth is rumored to be about 400 million.
14:52
Oh, he's a little short.
14:54
So I mean, again,
14:55
maybe he's trying to do like a whole group thing again,
14:57
the Frank McCourt. This is a baby shark.
15:02
OK, well, maybe he might pull something off.
15:04
His net worth is only 400 million.
15:06
I thought he was a billionaire.
15:08
That's what they make it seem on Shark Tank.
15:10
Shit, now you're bringing up a good point.
15:12
I'm just saying. But I'm praying it happens.
15:18
My algorithm is like right now and like the ban is supposed
15:22
to happen on what?
15:23
January 19th. 0.
15:25
The clock is tick tock.
15:32
I don't want you to shut me out.
15:33
I don't got shut out.
15:34
Virgos don't mind their business,
15:36
and they start when I was younger,
15:37
I used to tell my friend about their man lost a friend
15:40
Oh, you paid the rent,
15:42
right? I did.
15:43
Do you have the rent?
15:44
How we gonna make $1500 by 6,
15:46
not to mention I got the interview at 4.
15:47
It's a trap. First,
15:48
the rent and now Lolo's trying to kill us.
15:51
As you can see,
15:52
the Latinas have entered the chap.
15:57
Martin, thank you so much.
16:06
OK. The hot Cheeto tastes so good.
16:06
I live for the good.
16:13
Yeah. What inspired the hot Cheeto martini to be in the
16:17
film. We wanted something that bonded Drew and Alyssa in their
16:21
childhood and I actually love Hot Cheetos.
16:25
I love that. You got this.
16:27
But we're actually gonna play a little game.
16:29
Yes. It's called Skin.
16:30
drunk. You won't get to sit.
16:36
OK. The movie is based in LA.
16:39
Who's most likely to be the church's chicken sandwich burglar,
16:43
Drake or Kendrick? It's a it's it's a little biscuit burger
16:48
so who's most likely to steal the chicken sandwich?
16:54
Sips. Oh, I'm gonna go ahead and,
16:59
and, and say it.
17:01
I think Kendrick gonna,
17:04
he gonna, he's gonna burn,
17:04
he's gonna snatch some shit up.
17:07
My credit score is currently a little.
17:09
Never seen a credit score this low.
17:11
If you saw a fine man,
17:13
a fine specimen walking down the street,
17:16
but he only knew Spanish,
17:18
what what are you hitting him with?
17:23
Oh. Oh I'll just go with every Selena lyric I know
17:26
I'm more provido. Not with me,
17:33

17:37

17:40
What's your favorite? I love a little chicken.
17:42
I like it just corn.
17:44
Nothing in the tamales.
17:48
I don't need the masa a real one.
17:49
And what about tacos?
17:50
Carne asada. I love.
17:52

We're all one. And I still got you.
18:15
What would you say?
18:15
To a friend that has a deadbeat man.
18:18
I don't tell my friend nothing about the man.
18:21
I'm that girl that's like,
18:22
I'm loving him till he really out your life and then you'll
18:25

18:26
I'm not about to lose you over this man.
18:27
I need to stay close enough to help you when he come
18:30
and get you. You get what I mean?
18:31

Virgos don't mind their business.
18:35
This is our future.
18:36
I'm man. When I was younger I used to tell my
18:41
friend about that man lost a friend.
18:43
Oh, I'm done doing that unless he's doing something too crazy
18:46
but if it's just like low key crazy your usual guy
18:49
stuff, I'm like,
18:50
girl, what what you wanna do?
18:51
I'm down with you cause I know I gotta be right with
18:54
my girl. I've had conversations with my girls like if I
18:57
see a man with someone else.
18:59
Would you want me to tell you?
19:00
And mostly they say yes,
19:02
but there's some that be like,
19:03
I don't know. You don't wanna be that friend that's talking
19:05
crap and then at the wedding,
19:06
it's like you're away.
19:06
I can't do what he does for you.
19:06
No. Oh. I'm sorry.
19:14
I had to get a jump from Shamika and they had a
19:15
checkpoint and I had to go all the way around.
19:18
Through the film, the girls go through it all.
19:20
What's the craziest thing you fought with your bestie about?
19:23
My friend was mad at me while we were drunk and I
19:26
kept calling her an angry black woman.
19:31
One time me and my best friend got into an argument about
19:34
you know, who's the bigger pop star.
19:35
At the time I was like,
19:37
Rihanna without a dollar.
19:39
It literally almost tears us apart.
19:41
I is the reigning pop star.
19:44
Y'all know that. Damn!
19:47
I love how you're licking the rim right now.
19:50
Like we're talking, she's like,
19:51

19:53
but I am skiing.

Cheers to this. Cheers to one of them one of them
19:58
days. Mm. Look at each other in the eyes.

20:06
