00:06
And we're live. We are back.
00:09
Me too Daily is live once again.
00:13
Welcome you guys. I'm Daniela and I am Chelsea,
00:19
and we know we're not the usual Jenny and Alejandro,
00:22
but we are here today.
00:23
I love you. I love you.
00:27
we're gonna get this show on the road.
00:30
A little bit since we've been live,
00:32
we've had some technical difficulties,
00:34
but we've missed you and there's a lot to talk about,
00:37
so let's get right into it,
00:39
right? We gotta get into it.
00:41
We gotta get into it.
00:42
We gotta get into it.
00:43
There's a lot to get into.
00:47
first of all, as you all know,
00:50
there is a lot happening in Los Angeles.
00:53
We are officially 6 days into the widespread protests responding to aggressive
00:59
and inhumane ICE raids that are happening here.
01:02
These raids are expected to continue daily for at least 30 days
01:06
across SoCal. This is the hotline if ice is spotted in
01:11
your neighborhood. Write it down,
01:13
take a screenshot, put this number in your contacts list and
01:17
use it. So former President Trump has responded to the situation
01:23
by sending 2000 National Guard troops,
01:27
and he's on his 700 Marines are on their way to Los
01:31
Angeles. This has caused backlash from Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass
01:36
They're calling it a misuse of federal military power and have
01:40
filed lawsuits to stop it.
01:43
So this deployment is estimated to last 60 days and cost more
01:48
than $134 million. Let that sink in,
01:55
that's expensive. So it's so bad.
01:59
And, and what's crazy is if you saw a post of
02:02
like the National Guard literally sleeping on the floor.
02:06
Like it's one thing if you're gonna call for them but then
02:09
have something set up with these poor people are literally sleeping on
02:12
the floor like nothing was set for them.
02:18
the media, the right wing media is calling what's happening right
02:21
now chaotic, violent,
02:24
and just like revolutionary,
02:28
these protests have been largely peaceful.
02:32
Our studio right now we're in Los Angeles.
02:35
The city is not burning.
02:37
We're actively showing up for each other,
02:40
so we pulled together some of our favorite moments that we've seen
02:44
online and on the ground to showcase that Los Angeles is more
02:48
united than ever right now.
02:50
As you can see in what a vibe.
02:57
I had one of my friends this weekend we were,
02:59
we were at a protest and she's not Latina,
03:01
but she's like, Man,
03:03
I love showing up because every time it's always a party.
03:06
It's always good vibes,
03:07
it's always good music.
03:09
Every someone started passing around tortilla chips.
03:12
I was like she was so happy.
03:14
Oh, and then the the labubu,
03:18
Yo, it must have been in there.
03:19
I was thinking about that.
03:22
I was thinking about that.
03:24
The fun story about the la bubu.
03:27
They went to ride straight to the protest.
03:31
So they went from West Hollywood straight to downtown LA,
03:35
no breaks. The boo boo is an ally 2 times 2
03:39
do you think Boo Boo is Latina a little bit?
03:42
Probably, probably. Oh man,
03:46
so again, this is a very heavy thing.
03:47
This is gonna be happening for a while,
03:49
but we gotta keep our spirits up.
03:51
We have to remember that we are fighting for our brothers and
03:54
sisters, those that have to be quiet and hidden.
03:58
We as citizens need to stand up and be so loud for
04:02
them. So it's been so beautiful to see how many people
04:05
have been standing up.
04:06
It's,, it warms my heart.
04:08
It breaks my heart at the same time like I love my
04:10
city. And like she said,
04:13
They were reposting stuff from like years ago,
04:17
yes, there's been like 10 or 15 bad people that are
04:21
actually like breaking stuff and like there has been vandalism and tagging
04:26
but in a general sense,
04:28
this has been so peaceful.
04:29
It has been nonviolent.
04:31
So like, do not let the media change the narrative.
04:35
This is the real narrative.
04:36
And now switching topics real quick.
04:39
I don't know if you saw,
04:40
but a real life zebra went on a week-long runaway vacation and
04:46
it caused the internet to explode.
04:49
So Ed the zebra escape.
04:51
One day after being acquired by its owner,
04:54
and Ed was filmed by multiple bystanders,
04:56
sparking multiple viral videos and memes like this is hilarious.
05:01
If you haven't seen it,
05:01
you need to check this out right now.
05:03
And so at one point,
05:04
Ed was spotted alongside Interstate 24,
05:07
causing authorities to actually shut down the freeway.
05:11
His look, his friends will never believe him.
05:15
Ed was eventually safely captured,
05:17
airlifted, and flown by helicopter.
05:23
I have so much to say.
05:25
This video has been carrying me through this week because ever since
05:28
it first entered my feed,
05:30
I've just seen different points of views of the week ahead before
05:34
his capturing. He was just like running around just everywhere and
05:39
it was always him running.
05:40
He was never like still.
05:42
Just chilling or eating.
05:43
No, is he the Forrest Gump of zebras on the on
05:51
I mean, who bought a zebra and why?
05:53
What was the reason?
05:54
I know. Can you buy a zebra?
05:56
I'm like, I remember when Tiger King was up like they
05:58
were like, you should not have these animals.
06:02
very interesting, but it was beautiful to see those videos.
06:06
And if you guys like Wicked,
06:07
they put that wicked song in there and it's just Chef's Kiss
06:16
that back. Let's not,
06:18
no, but Ed the zebra,
06:21
he represents me. He's just like running freely and then he
06:24
got caught up, but he,
06:26
I feel like he's not done.
06:27
We're not done seeing Ed.
06:29
he's up to something,
06:31
something in the future.
06:33
We will keep our eyes up.
06:35
Well, Someone else that was on the run for a brief
06:40
minute,, Luigi Mangioni.
06:43
So he's back in the news.
06:46
Happy birthday, Luigi.
06:47
I, he just had a birthday.
06:49
That's the reason we're talking about him.
06:50
He just turned 27 and for his 27th birthday,
06:54
he dropped his list of 27 things he is grateful for.
07:00
you're never gonna guess what was number 16.
07:03
Number 16 on the list was at Latinas for Mangioni.
07:10
If you're not familiar,
07:11
this is an Instagram page that is a dedicated fan page for
07:21
Latinas for Mangioni has Luigi support.
07:26
He loves them. He appreciates them.
07:29
He stands for them and you made it on the list of
07:32
27 things he's grateful for at the age of 27.
07:35
I, I would say that that everybody has to be grateful
07:38
for all. The Latinas in their life,
07:39
all the Latinas that love and support them,
07:41
yes, I would say be more like Luigi,
07:45
let's keep it cautious.
07:49
maybe I'm under a rock and stuff like I know what was
07:51
going on, but I don't understand like the love affair that
07:54
he got like he's not ugly but he's also not like.
08:00
Glenn Powell or, you know,
08:01
I don't know, but so it was just,
08:03
I, I don't understand the whole,
08:06
I guess. Infatuation,
08:08
but you seem like you're a little infatuated.
08:12
I just listen, it's not that I'm down bad for Luigi
08:15
Mangioni, but I'm down bad for the idea of him.
08:19
He's a guy with a scans.
08:21
He didn't just sit there sitting on his phone saying,
08:26
like he, and listen,
08:28
what he did was not right.
08:29
I'm not condoning what Luigi Mangioni did,
08:32
but it's like his lore.
08:34
It's like he's. Stood up for something he cared so much
08:37
about an issue that he did something that actually had consequences that
08:43
impact him for the rest of his life and again like this
08:47
is not the this is not the goal for my future man
08:51
Like don't get caught up,
08:52
don't anyone but have that much care about something,
08:57
have that much passion.
09:01
wait, I gotta get to this comment saying Glenn Powell wishes
09:05
he was on Luigi's level.
09:08
I'm sorry, I feel attacked because Glenn Powell is a fine
09:13
I also like a strong man,
09:14
so I'm like, I don't know about all that.
09:18
and then of course we got Gan Bean,
09:21
chill Chelsea, the kid is a stud.
09:24
Have you seen his back?
09:27
sorry, I've, I've only seen his face.
09:29
How have you seen his back?
09:30
I've been deep. Listen,
09:32
Latinas and for Man Joni and I,
09:34
we're friends, and she has some great archival footage of Luigi
09:38
and he's a beautiful man.
09:41
I encourage you to look,
09:43
Look again, I don't think I wouldn't kick him out of
09:46
bed. You know what I mean,
09:49
you know, I guess was like Ted Bundy and stuff like
09:51
that, he kind of got that same attention.
09:53
So I think people are just,
09:56
I think women in general,
09:57
you like a little killer sometimes because they actually do something like
10:01
that because men do not follow through and at least this man
10:05
followed through. That's how low my standards are,
10:12
hey, Latinas from Maniani.
10:16
I just feel like I'm destined to be with him.
10:23
we're not gonna, I wish him well,
10:32
we could remix it with pit bull.
10:38
What? What's going on?
10:39
OK. Pit bull and his sea of bald caps.
10:42
So Mr. 305 has kept our fist pumping for years with
10:47
hits like Fireball and Timber,
10:49
and now fans are paying homage to their favorite bald entertainer.
10:53
They are literally showing up to his concert.
10:56
In full pit bull drag with sunglasses,
10:59
suits, and most importantly and most hilariously ball caps.
11:04
And this trend has been largely fueled by social media,
11:08
like local costume stores are working overtime to keep up with the
11:12
demands of the ball caps.
11:14
So Mr. Worldwide is is getting the love.
11:20
Like, I, that's so surreal.
11:23
It's amazing, it's hilarious and it's beautiful.
11:29
whose real name is Armando Cristian Perez,
11:31
has expressed gratitude over this trend,
11:36
he appreciates y'all and he loves y'all.
11:40
That's a fan because old ball caps also have to be really
11:43
hot. They have to be hot.
11:44
They have to be uncomfortable and also like when you think of
11:48
Going to a pitbull concert.
11:49
We're going outside like we're gonna have a night out.
11:52
You think I wanna be cute.
11:53
The power this man and performer has on the community is no
11:58
we're throwing away the club outfits.
12:00
We're throwing away the,
12:01
the cute hair and makeup.
12:03
We're gonna look like pit bull.
12:04
I'm not saying he's,
12:05
he's not cute, but he's bald and.
12:10
We have hair. Most of us do.
12:13
I, this is incredible.
12:16
it's a statement and again I love it,
12:20
you know what I mean?
12:21
Like if I'm going out like because I've tried,
12:23
like I've had to wear like certain wigs for like set and
12:27
like it's a whole ordeal.
12:28
You know what I mean?
12:29
Like you have to commit,
12:31
commit to the bit and like my head starts itchy,
12:33
itchy. So like imagine like you're dancing and you're sweating at
12:36
this concert and you're just like itch itch itch itch.
12:39
So that's where my brain goes,
12:40
but I'm also a woman that like loves to be comfortable.
12:43
I am the woman that will be with a group of friends
12:45
that are in heels and I will be in sneakers.
12:47
Like now it's trendy,
12:48
but back in the day when I was growing up,
12:50
it wasn't trendy, but I was.
12:51
Chicken sneakers, but because of women like you,
12:54
you paved the way for it to be trendy and normalized.
13:00
for the ones that said no,
13:02
I refuse, we would still be stuck in in those pump
13:05
the what what are those?
13:07
Charlotte pumps. Oh my God,
13:09
the glitter pumps, but girl,
13:11
part of me is upset and I know this is deviating from
13:13
the conversation of pit bull.
13:14
Bald caps, but like part of me thought like,
13:16
OK, adulting is gonna be like really fun bodycon dresses,
13:21
those pumps, just like big earrings and all of that's down
13:25
the window now everything's like boring and casual.
13:27
Mm, yes and no because we still got big earrings,
13:31
we still or like colorful eye shadow and like I
13:33
don't know my idea of what clubbing would be and what it
13:35
actually is is so different.
13:37
I'd rather be dressed as pit bull though,
13:41
if that makes sense.
13:42
I'm like, I'd rock a suit.
13:43
I, I, I'd rock a suit.
13:46
I'd rock a suit too.
13:48
I don't know about the bald cap.
13:49
I don't know about the bald cap,
13:50
but if it meant attention from Armando,
13:53
the man, the myth the legend,
13:56
Worldwide himself, I would do it.
14:00
I'm like, someone did it.
14:04
Anna Sacks, you did it.
14:10
I love that. I love that.
14:15
OK, so you said it was fun.
14:17
There's no regrets. That like,
14:19
can you send us in pictures?
14:20
Like I wanna see what that looks like from like a real
14:23
person that we like would you guys like.
14:27
I don't know. When I see some,
14:28
my dad's bald, I can say this.
14:30
When I see like a bald guy,
14:31
my instant like my intrusive thoughts,
14:37
Rub a good look on a genie thing and make a wish
14:40
I always make a wish.
14:41
I know that sounds crazy,
14:42
but what if, what if they're a genie?
14:47
We're gonna pray for you.
14:49
We're gonna pray for you.
14:51
I'm joking, I'm joking.
14:53
But you never know with,
14:55
with everything going on in the world,
14:57
you can only just hope for some laughter,
15:00
laughter and and. Comedic relief.
15:03
Yes, and at the end of the day,
15:04
like we know what's going on right now.
15:06
It's real, it's heavy,
15:07
you can't escape it,
15:09
but we also have to laugh and smile and that's one of
15:11
the beautiful things, seeing so much joy at these protests and
15:16
the music and the community because if you just focus on the
15:22
you're gonna start drowning.
15:24
So like it's beautiful to be able to see that joy and
15:27
again see the joy of a zebra.
15:28
It made me think of my favorite movie,
15:30
Friends with Benefits with Justin Timberlake had to be airlifted in the
15:33
foil paper blanket when he went on the Hollywood side.
15:37
Again, it's a movie,
15:38
but like that's one of my favorite movies and it's funny.
15:40
So I laughed at that.
15:41
So like we just have to focus on.
15:43
The joy and remember to laugh and also cry.
15:47
Let it out, scream into your pillow,
15:49
like get on these streets,
15:50
be vocal on social media,
15:51
do what you need to do for your body,
15:54
your mind and your soul.
15:55
Take care of yourself.
15:56
I just got a little preach here.
15:57
No, I, I do it because let's be real,
16:03
Unpredictable timelines right now,
16:05
right? And, and it is that weird balance of OK
16:09
so we need to address the issues at hand,
16:12
but also we need to be able to do this for the
16:14
days to come. Let's as we can see this isn't just
16:17
a today, tomorrow and the next day.
16:20
This is a, a long time ahead of us,
16:23
so. To maximize that energy is important to remind ourselves that
16:27
we are a community and we we do what we do to
16:30
stand for what we stand for because of this community.
16:34
So thank you for saying what you said.
16:36
Thank you for joining us today,
16:38
Chelsea let us continue showing up and showing out,
16:42
speaking up for our community.
16:45
Famila me too, thank you so so much for joining us
16:48
It was a pleasure to be on live again with you
16:51
all, and we will be back.
16:53
Stay safe and have a good rest of your Wednesday.
16:57
Yeah, they will be back on Friday.
17:00
but they will. We'll miss you though.
17:03
Who knows? You'll be back very soon.
17:04
Oh yeah, I'm always around.
17:06
I'm always around the corner.

17:11
appreciate you, and take care of one another.
