00:11
I'm Jenny I Alejandro.

And as always, we got some fun stories planned for you
00:16

00:18
Wait, what is sister Suma Zine Fest?
00:21

00:35
I'm going brother. Me too.
00:37
Well, get your tickets in the link below and now let's
00:39
get to the news,
00:40
brother. I have a confession.
00:42
Oh, I'm gonna be an uncle.
00:45
No, no, we were talking about the baby earlier.
00:48
I thought, no,
00:53
there's this song I've been listening to and I can't get it
00:56
out of my head.
00:57
It's like, even though I do love that song,
01:02
Danny Flo is amazing.
01:04
But this song is actually called Oh my God.
01:08
It's so catchy brother.
01:10
Oh my God, sister.
01:12
Come on. Are you even really a Dodgers fan?
01:16
Don't gosh, dude.
01:18
Do you know who sings that song?
01:21
It's Jose Iglesias. Do you know who that is?
01:23
Is he related to Enrique.
01:27
Yeah. Yeah. No sister.
01:28
He plays for the freaking Mets.
01:30
The team that we're playing right now in the playoffs that at
01:35
the time of this recording beat us.
01:36
Freaking, what, 73 yesterday.
01:40
Exactly. Relax. I get it.
01:44
But the song is low key banger.
01:46
I know it's a banger.
01:47
Right. I'll admit it.
01:49
He performed this in New York after a game after a win
01:54
He got up on stage.
01:57
But as a real Dodger fan,
01:59
I can't support it at least at this time until this series
02:02
is over. So I guess it's a bad time to mention
02:06
that Mr 305 A K A Pitbull jumped on the remix of
02:10
this. He did.
02:11
Oh my God. Oh my God.
02:15
I can't even say,
02:16
oh my gosh, the same anymore.
02:18
It's like, oh my God.
02:22
Yeah, for sure.
02:23
You know what? Here's a better version.
02:24
I don't care. I'm sorry.
02:28
But you know what?
02:28
I won't care until the season is over.
02:31
The song is over.
02:31
Hyped brother. What are you gonna be following?
02:35
We're doing a family thing.
02:36
We'll be minions. Izzy got her little overalls and stuff.
02:41
So Izzy, can she be the one with the one eye
02:45
Well, see if she keeps the freaking goggles on,
02:48
I'll, I'll see what I can do.
02:50
Just put the goggle here,
02:51
just put one eye here.
02:53
That's true. I'll try to get creative for it.
02:57
What about you? I want to be Esmeralda because now my
03:01
hair is black and you know,
03:02
she has like green eyes.
03:03
So I feel like you learn any song.
03:07
The little, the little Tambourine.
03:08
Yeah, I just need to find my big back.
03:12
A lot of big bags out there.
03:14
So don't worry about that.
03:15
You be hunchback or big bag.
03:16
Well, the hunchback,
03:17
my hunchback to be my no,
03:19
my big bag to be my hunchback.
03:22
It's big, but think about it damn well.
03:28
So the team here pulled their Halloween costume predictions from the year
03:33
and let's see what they got for us.
03:35
Let's see. Ok,
03:37
the Menendez brothers, I can see that.
03:40
I can see that for sure.
03:42
And I know last time they had with the Jeffrey Dahmer documentary
03:46
came out, people were just as fucked up as it was
03:48
People were being like Jeffrey.
03:50
That's what I'm saying.
03:51
I would assume that this would be a little messed up,
03:53
but I'm sure again,
03:54
Jeffrey Dahmer, what's that called?
03:56
Rose? They probably dress up as her.
03:58
I mean, not only that guys,
04:00
but this is a cheap costume.
04:01
You got a sweater line around.
04:03
This is a very last minute.
04:05
Last minute. I know I can't see Liam rocking this.
04:09
Oh, hell, yeah.
04:10
Hell yeah, that guy with the glasses.
04:12
He's like, hey chat,
04:14
how are we feeling?
04:15
Chat? And I'm like,
04:16
that's Liam. Huh?
04:20
You need a big package for this one.
04:22
You got stuff really?
04:27
The accessory is just the most important part here.
04:30
And bonus points. If you don't have to put anything in
04:36
there, bonus points,
04:40
if you don't have to stuff,
04:41
you know what I mean?
04:42
Yeah, you don't have to go to the spirit to buy
04:43
a little attachment. You just go straight for the service.
04:46
Hey, I look like this one's a whack one because you
04:51
know why baby oil got,
04:53
you know, it's been on the spotlight recently,
04:55
but I promise you guys there's going to be baby oil bottles
04:58
walking around. Do you think there's going to be a ditty
05:02
I hope not.
05:04
There's always that one guy,
05:05
I mean, I've seen some ditty memes where it's like he's
05:08
working to me and I'm like,
05:10
that's not the point.
05:12
So it's like, again,
05:13
like with the freaking Menendez brothers and then I don't know,
05:20
all the bad dancers have a costume now.
05:22
So, and it's honestly not bad because you can dance in
05:25
the party even if you dance horrible and get away with it
05:27
That's true. You know,
05:28
it's the costume. You'll have people saying do the dance,
05:31
do the dance and you get on the ground and you're like
05:33
I remember when I was a mine that was a mime
05:36
for Halloween and people would be like,
05:38
do the mime thing,
05:38
do the mime thing and I was like,
05:41
and they get all our trip and I'm like a little bit
05:49
the end. Oh,
05:52
for sure. I'm gonna see a bunch of Sabrina carpenters running
05:56
around. Just think like such a good excuse to look hot
06:01
but like, you know,
06:01
with intention, you know,
06:02
it's classy. There's going to be voluminous hair,
06:06
beautiful makeup, nice corset.
06:08
I feel like this is the new cat with the,
06:12
the, the NGA.
06:17
See this one you'll be able to tell it's like the guy
06:20
did, you saw the face tattoos?
06:23
Yeah. The guy that's having,
06:24
wearing sombrero with the little face.
06:26
The couple costumes, costumes.
06:29
There you go. You can make it a whole family affair
06:31
and get messy with it.
06:32
You could do the baby mama,
06:34
the baby, the dad get the and it's a sign how
06:42
fun would it be to be?
06:44
What else we got?
06:48
Thank you. He's so oil d it's so greasy.
06:54
I don't know what that is.
06:55
Like water hippos are as hell,
06:58
right? Like the animal for real because they are freaking sink
07:05
boats and everything. According to the jungle crew that Disneyland,
07:07
I feel like the baby oil and mud could be a good
07:10
combo because Muang looped up baby oil and mood.
07:16
It looks slippery. A f so yeah.
07:19
Hippo biting people. Mu I like it.
07:21
It's a good excuse to bite people at the party.
07:23
I want to be a buzz ball with my friends.
07:25
That's funny. The buzz ball.
07:27
I think I would love to see what,
07:31
what flavor you blue because you're rare that the light blue one
07:37
Can I be green?
07:38
Green, you could be green or you can be green if
07:40
that's no, I'll be the coffee one.
07:43
Alejandro should be the pumpkin,
07:45
the pumpkin one. I'm down that one.
07:46
Good. Well, let us know what you guys are gonna
07:49
be for Halloween and if we missed any Mexico has entered the
07:52
electric vehicle chat. President Claudia Sheen Baum just announced that they're
07:56
done importing electric cars from China and India and now they're building
08:01
their own. Damn.
08:02
OK. Then they're calling it Linia which means to move in
08:07
Na it's a small affordable EV and they want everything sourced
08:12
from Mexico. We're talking,
08:14
you know, young Mexican engineers,
08:16
Mexican materials, Mexican workers,
08:18
PCIO Mexicano dude, I love to see it and I love
08:21
how the name is in.
08:24
Now. What? Like it's sticking to the roots.
08:27
I love that. I love that.
08:29
I want it. I want it now.
08:30
They're very creative because yeah,
08:31
I was wondering about car names like where do they get them
08:33
from? But this is very like like very,
08:37
very on the nose with Mexico and the best part,
08:43
the $8000. What if you don't mind me asking how much
08:47
That's what I'm trying to get at the Tesla.
08:51
It was like over $50,000 and it's like,
08:57
dude, what the heck I'm going to freaking take that shit
08:59
back. And I'm and I honestly,
09:02
I'd rather have a Mexican,
09:04
a Mexican made electric car because you already know like Mexicans make
09:11
some good shit. They already have factories out there for,
09:13
I think one of my Hondas was made in Mexico.
09:15
Like the plant. Right.
09:18
I wonder if it will be up to code where people can
09:20
bring them, you know,
09:20
some cars like this only in Mexico.
09:23
That's true. What is it?
09:24
Maybe? No, I think for the US to get them
09:29
because they're so cheap.
09:31
You know what I mean?
09:31
So they're going to try to find like,
09:34
oh this doesn't meet up to code.
09:36
Who knows? But the next one will probably make it up
09:38
to code. But yeah,
09:39
you're saying, you know what I mean?
09:42
But dude, I would love to get one that's dope for
09:47
$8000. Yeah. And you know,
09:50
Elon and Tesla are shaking.
09:53
I mean, you're saying you want to return it,
09:55
you know, I mean,
09:56
I love it. Don't get me wrong but this is dope
09:59
and then it's Mexican made the pride in me.
10:02
You know, I got a Mexican car like me be,
10:06
be Mexican. Oh It instead of me,
10:11
I did so, bro.
10:16
Damn. $8000. That's kind of cool.
10:20
And we'll see, we'll see what happens,
10:22
but I can't wait to get my eyes on it.
10:27
Helpless. Welcome. Jude Line,
10:29
a 21 year old Spanish singer who just dropped her new single
10:33
Sar Clos de Plata and has new music for us on the
10:37
way. Thank you for joining us on me.
10:43
We're so happy to have you.
10:45
Thank you for having me.
10:46
Of course. So tell me what inspired you to write Tar
10:49
Clo de Plata. OK.
10:50
So TCIL de Plata means mm com silver earrings.
10:57
Earrings. Yeah. So that's how we called earrings in the
11:01
south of Spain usually spend or are or whatever.
11:05
So yeah, and it's like the story of,
11:08
you know, having this love with this guy and you
11:12
left on purpose, your earrings on his house.
11:16
I, I like that.
11:17
So you purposely leave the earrings.
11:19
Yeah. Kind of,
11:20
it's like it a situation.
11:21
You don't know how it going.
11:24
Yeah, I in Espana,
11:26
do you guys call it situationship?
11:27
See now because people,
11:29
I don't know, everyone wants to have the American slang or
11:35
they switch a lot with,
11:36
with the English and we call it situations actually,
11:39
I think. So.
11:40
Perico Julio Julio, I know you mentioned your father is from
11:52
right? How have you Venezuelan Roots shaped your music and
11:56
played a part in,
11:57
in your role as an artist.
11:58
So yeah, he grew up in Caracas and I never been
12:02
there. I never been in Venezuela but I feel like he
12:05
made an effort to bring the culture in our home.
12:10
Yeah, I listen to Venezuelan music for all my childhood
12:14
Then I don't know the food,
12:16
the stories my dad told me about Caracas.
12:18
OK? I know you're from Spain.
12:20
You mentioned you lived in Andalucia,
12:22
right? Yeah. I'm based right now in my but I
12:24
am, I am in delusion.
12:25
So I mean, I've never been to Spain.
12:27
I'm dying to go but I do know you guys have la
12:30
siesta, right? I tell everyone over here,
12:35
I think we need to just do it and start the job
12:37
over here. Like I feel like America over here.
12:40
We need some of the things that happen over here.
12:42
People work a lot here.
12:43
People are workaholics like yes,
12:46
there's like no days off.
12:48
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
12:48
It's crazy, especially Andalucia.
12:50
We are famous people.
12:52
All people say that we only to sleep and go to parties
12:55
and eat food and sleep again.
12:58
Yeah. People of the rest of Spain say that but we
13:01
all have a little bit of siesta.
13:02
You know when you have lunch,
13:03
you need a little rest for the s para la di is
13:08
good for your body.
13:09
But the system you,
13:10
you need to take a little sip like a little nap and
13:13
then, and then you come back and do what you have
13:15
to do and then you go back and that's how we live
13:17
happily and that's how we should live over and it's good for
13:20
your skin, for your hair,
13:21
for your mental health.
13:22
And this is important.
13:24
We were talking about this the other day because Jon report apparently
13:27
Gen Z so Lass deu apparently we're not sustaining jobs over
13:32
here in America. I say if we adopt him because we
13:35
care about our mental health.
13:36
We're very mindful. We're very,
13:38
you know, considerate about.
13:40
Exactly. Ok. So you mentioned in Andalucia la Fiesta,
13:44
la siesta. How is a party in Spain different than a
13:47
party here in the US?
13:49
First of all, like you meet your friends at 11 in
13:52
the night, then you have a little wine at home with
13:57
you at 11 and then we go,
14:00
we go to club like,
14:01
two o'clock, 2 a.m. Oh,
14:03
wow. Three hour pre game.
14:05
And you hit the first club at two in the morning.
14:08
Yeah, probably. If you go earlier,
14:09
there will be nobody in the club.
14:12
So I think like,
14:13
here people do it earlier.
14:15
No, here the club closes at two in the morning.
14:17
That's crazy. I know you were just at New York Fashion
14:21
Week, right. It was so cool.
14:24
I kind of love New York.
14:27
Yeah, I like it.
14:27
You walk everywhere. There's a lot of stuff you can do
14:30
It smells a little bit worse than July.
14:35
Tell me, how do you connect fashion and,
14:37
and your music? I think it's very important.
14:40
Like you take care of every single part of your project.
14:42
Like the static, the,
14:44
the sound, the music.
14:45
So, I think fashion is a very important part of you
14:48
too. I love that.
14:49
So, can you share your process for writing and making music
14:53
I think I just go to the studio.
14:55
I usually, I only write in the studio or maybe,
14:58
I don't know, idea comes in the train or the plane
15:00
but usually I just sit in the studio,
15:03
I take a sampler and I write on it and then like
15:07
the arrangement part and the production part is like the longer sad
15:14
So I go and mame or I hear you have a
15:18
new album coming out.
15:20
Right. Tell me about it.
15:23
So it's coming out very,
15:24
very soon. Yes,
15:25
I've been doing it for almost like 23 years.
15:28
It was a very long process,
15:30
but I'm very excited and I'm very proud of my first album
15:33
being this. You know,
15:35
that's amazing. It's a lot of work on it.
15:37
And the last part of the album I was so tired.
15:39
I could not listen to anything I was like,
15:42
but now there have been some months that I didn't listen to
15:46
it. I'm so in love and I'm very,
15:48
very proud of it and,
15:49
and it's gonna, the world's gonna see it.
15:51
Yeah. So the name is Bodri and this is my first
15:55
baby. So I was much,
16:01
much. So where can we follow and,
16:06
and keep up with you and your music and your journey.
16:09
So you can follow me on Instagram or Twitter or whatever you
16:12
want. My name is Juline Juli Punto in Instagram and yeah
16:17
whatever you want to listen on Spotify.
16:20
Amazing. I'll be listening.
16:21
Yeah. Thank you for having me.
16:22
Thank you so much.
16:31
All right. O La familia Mitu.
16:33
I'm here with Eugenio Derbez and Jason Alexander to talk about the
16:38
new show IJG on De Noche.
16:40
They came at night,
16:41
which is now streaming on Vic Spot.
16:42
Yeah, you gotta jump on it.
16:43
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
16:44
You have to watch it.
16:45
So we just want to do a quick icebreaker.
16:47
You know, we don't know each other.
16:48
You guys are legends.
16:50
We're rookies. We're so,
16:52
what's your guys' like?
16:53
Go to Halloween candies?
16:54
Top three Reese Reese.
16:57
Yes. Ok. I'm a big red Vines.
17:02
Same thing. I was a huge fan of M and MS
17:07
also here, here's the problem.
17:09
M and MS. No,
17:10
and I'm gonna talk to the M and M people right now
17:13
If you're gonna change the outside,
17:15
change the inside. A red one should have a little strawberry
17:18
flavor. A green one should have a little lime flavor.
17:21
It's the same thing with a different color and,
17:23
you know, it's not,
17:24
well, I'm not eating it for the colors.
17:25
I'm eating it for the flavors.
17:27
So I just, I hope and listens to that.
17:30
They should because the product has been failing for 50 years.
17:35
I love the show.
17:37
It's hilarious. I couldn't believe the story behind it.
17:40
How did you find out about Spanish Dracula?
17:42
Well, two writers,
17:44
Bob and Rob Bob Grimmer and Bob Fisher who wrote the series
17:48
they came with the idea and they said,
17:50
did you know the,
17:51
the Spanish version of Dracula that was shot at night.
17:54
And I was like,
17:55
no, I didn't know it was completely unaware of that.
17:58
And then they told me the story that the silent era ended
18:02
the talkies started,
18:04
Hollywood was not able to sell it internationally because nobody understood the
18:07
movies,, outside the US.
18:09
So directly was one of the first talkies.
18:12
And Carl Emly came up with the idea of shooting at night
18:17
to take advantage of the sets and the wardrobe
18:20
and everything and that's how this happened.
18:22
I love it. And Eugenio,
18:25
I know you actually made your directorial debut with the pilot episode
18:29
That's the first time I've heard that.
18:30
That was your directing.
18:31
No, no, no,
18:32
no, I might come back as a director.
18:36
The last time I directed was 10 years ago because when I
18:39
moved to the U SI didn't want to direct because I didn't
18:42
know the humor and I was like,
18:45
I don't know why they laugh at.
18:47
So I'm going to be an actor for now and it's already
18:51
10 years. So this is my first time coming back as
18:54
a director. But in Mexico,
18:55
I directed a lot,
18:56
I was going to say if that was his first time directing
18:58
I got a lot of problems that was way too good
19:03
for a first time.
19:03
Director. He's a natural.
19:06
OK. So I wanted to ask you guys,
19:08
we, we found out in the show that the Spanish version
19:11
just a little bit better.
19:13
It's just a little bit better.
19:14
So we have these iconic horror lines.
19:16
Is it OK? If we maybe act it out in Spanish
19:20
and see how it feels.
19:21
It's a little, it's a little showdown show can decide.
19:25
Well, we got some free you guys,
19:28
you guys should recognize and then we got one for you as
19:31
well. So I know you guys got this camera if you
19:33
need to lock in,
19:34
I trust you guys.
19:35
This is, I imagine this is Victor Von Frankenstein at the
19:39
moment of creation is,
19:40
it's a, it's a he Yeah.
19:47
Do I have to do it in Spanish to see it?
19:53
Oh Wow. It's sexier in Spanish.
20:01
This is from Joss.
20:04
We're gonna need a bigger boat works.
20:09
We're in, we're in the water.
20:16
That's no urgency. That is more urgency.
20:21
This is the shining.
20:23
So he's broken down the door.
20:24
He's got the ax in the door and he goes,
20:26
here's Jamie. Yeah,
20:29
that's OK. OK.
20:32
This is gonna be better.
20:34
A kiss badly. It's working.
20:39
It's better in Spanish.
20:40
I gotta tell you,
20:41
I'm, I'm working in the wrong country.
20:44
Mama know those, that languages.
20:48
The sixth sense. I see that people that was,
20:54
that was really good.
20:55
Very good. I don't think you can be in.
21:01
That's a little, that's a demon that was a demon child
21:06
I'm over here.
21:11
Thank you so much guys.
21:13
That's so funny. We get the job.
21:15
That's all we need.
21:17
Multiple countries, multiple languages,
21:19
I think. I mean,
21:20
we're running out of time.
21:21
I want. Do you guys have any scary stories?
21:22
Does anything affect you as a child?
21:25
No, not as a child.
21:26
I bumped into a couple of things as an adult.
21:28
Really? That's interesting.
21:30
Tell us, tell us,
21:31
my family stayed in,
21:33
we discovered what seemed to be a slightly haunted house.
21:36
We were, we were making a movie in Montreal and they
21:39
put us in this thing and we would hear like voices whispering
21:43
in French at night.
21:45
my wife has,
21:46
is allergic to most perfumes.
21:48
So there's no per and all of a sudden there'd be like
21:50
a perfume smell and it would move from one room to another
21:53
room. And eventually it got to the point where one of
21:57
the young ladies that was a,
21:59
a nanny for us because my Children were very young,
22:02
felt that she got attacked by something and so we
22:07
left. Oh my God.
22:11
I don't know. And I don't know,
22:12
I don't know what it was.
22:13
But,, but you could kind of feel it a
22:15
little bit. I never felt spooked.
22:17
I just went, that's,
22:19
that's the smell would move and you'd hear these things and I
22:21
thought maybe it's a radio station and it's coming through somewhere.
22:25
But,, but,
22:26
you know, when the young lady said I'm not staying here
22:29
we went, ok,
22:31
let's go. Let's go.
22:33
Well, thank you both so much.
22:35
Be sure to catch I Jarro de Noche.
22:37
They came at night,
22:38
which is now streaming on VX.
