00:06
Welcome back to me daily.
00:07
I'm Alejandro and I'm Jenny and happy Monday,
00:11
we just get into it.
00:12
Yeah, let's get into it.
00:14
It's been a weekend.
00:16
Sister Armenia will soon see the tallest statue of Jesus Christ in
00:21
the world in the world.
00:23
Wait. So what about Brazilian Jesus?
00:26
Oh, the one that's like the one that stands with his
00:28
Yeah, the one that stands with his arms like this
00:32
Well, I'm sure he's doing good.
00:34
But once this Jesus statue in Armenia is finished,
00:36
it will be the tallest largest statue of Jesus.
00:39
Surpassing both the Christ,
00:41
the king statue in Poland and the redeemer statue in Brazil that
00:44
you mentioned. So you think you can compete with Brazil J
00:47
though like legit like compete.
00:50
I, I don't know.
00:51
I mean, maybe they can play some football and see who's
00:54
better. They come to life.
00:55
I don't know. But,
00:58
well, I'm sure it will be a great tourist attraction,
01:00
that's for sure. I know there's a group of tias out
01:03
there in Aguas planning a trip to Armenia around this Jesus statue
01:07
or like the church,
01:09
Los Anuncios at the end like,
01:12
oh Armenia and it's like they make you want to donate.
01:24
Why am I going to donate to some people's trip or just
01:27
recruit people to go?
01:28
Right. It's always like the people that are there every weekend
01:30
giving the Ostia and stuff,
01:32
they're like, oh they're going to go,
01:33
I'm like, I want to go.
01:34
But dude, imagine walking out of your house though and like
01:38
seeing the biggest Jesus statue ever or you're going to work or
01:42
you're going to go get messed up at the bar and you're
01:44
like like the ice ball,
01:46
you kind of go statue.
01:47
Yeah, my ass would be on my best behavior every day
01:51
I'll tell you that right now.
01:53
I can't even fornicate in peace,
01:55
but it's always watching.
01:58
Oh my God. But yeah,
02:01
I mean that would be cool.
02:02
Maybe we can take the trip over there.
02:04
You should go to MISA and get those free trips.
02:06
We should to be.
02:08
That's true. We have a hater in the building.
02:12
Brother. What? Who to?
02:15
No, no brother,
02:17
not to me. No brother.
02:20
Sometimes you can be a hater.
02:21
No, but the US district Judge Matthew,
02:24
she from Missouri, you my friend are a hater.
02:28
What do you do?
02:30
He put a temporary hold on President Joe Biden's latest student loan
02:34
cancellation plan that was finally cleared to proceed and you know what
02:39
I saw it coming,
02:40
brother. I think that was like,
02:42
too good to be true.
02:43
I was like, no,
02:44
they're gonna block it again,
02:45
like Biden's plan would have canceled at least some student loan debt
02:50
for an estimated 30 million borrowers,
02:54
which would have included my,
02:58
but, but you want to know something about actually I me
03:03
I forgave myself a long time ago.
03:06
What I got in front of a mirror and was like,
03:08
you know what, Jenny?
03:09
You're, you're ok,
03:12
Michael Scott. I don't think that's how it works.
03:14
You just don't say,
03:15
hey, you're forgiven.
03:16
Well, gave me a piece of mind and then this thing
03:19
brought it back. Listen,
03:20
the voices in my head.
03:23
Well, I know so many people this would have helped like
03:26
it's crazy like,
03:27
and that needed this like ASAP like we all do and it
03:30
sucks because it's like,
03:31
you know, I know of so many people like they're working
03:34
right now to pay off that debt and it's like they,
03:37
they, they went to school,
03:40
got into debt to work at a job that's helping pay the
03:43
debt. You get me.
03:45
It's a lot, it's a lot of money.
03:48
Yeah, but it might come back.
03:50
Who knows? There's no hope it just back and forth all
03:54
the time, dude,
03:56
sister, we're gonna get you some help for what?
04:01
It's ok. It's ok.
04:02
I know. You know what sister,
04:05
your, your phone addiction.
04:07
It's, it's, it's getting out of hand.
04:09
You sound like my mom is,
04:11
this, is this,
04:12
that there's a study and the evidence proves that you might just
04:16
be a fiend a theme.
04:19
Oh, hell no,
04:19
brother. If I'm a fiend,
04:21
then you're a junkie be because you stay on that in your
04:23
phone all the time.
04:26
You, you're right,
04:27
you're right. So you know what?
04:29
We're good. So look,
04:30
let me give you the,
04:30
the, the nitty gritty here.
04:32
So a doctor from the World Health Organization who has proposed that
04:37
countries consider regulating smartphones similar to how cigarettes are controlled.
04:43
This recommendation aims to address increasing concerns about smartphone and social media
04:48
addiction. Oh my gosh,
04:50
they're comparing iphone addiction with big tobacco,
04:53
you know, shit is bad brother.
04:55
Yep. Exactly, dude.
04:57
So similar to smoking laws,
04:59
they are suggesting the implementation of age limits,
05:01
controlled pricing and designated usage areas for phone use.
05:05
Is this like a freaking smoking?
05:06
Like I'm not gonna lie though and I'd be like I need
05:09
my fix, bro.
05:10
Like I wake up and let me see what's going on.
05:13
So you know, I see it.
05:16
That's right by your phone.
05:18
But you know what like actually let me see your phone
05:21
Let's see this.
05:21
Let's compare our screen times because I feel like you're probably going
05:23
to beat me on this.
05:24
Ok. What's the passcode?
05:25
I forgot my passcode.
05:30
All right. So let's compare screen times here.
05:31
What do you got?
05:32
I got seven hours and 44 minutes,
05:34
brother. Ok. I'm also 13% down for,
05:37
let me see. Let me see what's yours?
05:42
It's seven hours and 50 minutes.
05:45
I'm six minutes less.
05:48
You know what? You're the bigger person.
05:52
You go to the actual apps.
05:53
Most views on mine is Instagram for nine hours.
05:57
Oh, sure. Yeah.
05:59
How about you? So,
06:01
I got Google Maps.
06:02
Where the fuck are you going?
06:05
Google Maps. 10 hours.
06:07
48 minutes. The West L A.
06:13
No joke. Well,
06:14
overall total screen time.
06:16
61 hours for the week for the week,
06:22
61 hours that you're 62 and 36 minutes.
06:28
Oops. And then let's see messages 16 hours because the group
06:32
chat be popping sometimes and you Instagram 15 hours on Instagram.
06:38
That's a lot of memes.
06:39
What are you doing on there?
06:40
Well, brother, I work in social media so we gotta
06:43
put that into play.
06:44
True, true. So Instagram tiktok,
06:47
all right, sister.
06:47
So as you saw,
06:48
our screen time is in the sixties,
06:50
60 hours per week.
06:52
Apparently the daily recommended screen time is two hours.
06:57
So like 14 hours.
06:58
Da I think we need to go to rehab.
07:03
Well, I think we need an intervention,
07:04
brother. I need a social media detox.
07:07
Didn't need to, I need to be locked out of my
07:09
account ASAP traveling with kids can be tough,
07:12
especially when going to another country.
07:14
So our next guest,
07:15
Ruth DEA and Johnny Sanders decided to take marriage into their own
07:18
hands and began to train the little Alexander for his trip to
07:22
Mexico. Thank you guys for coming.
07:27
When sp specifically start training your sons for Mexico.
07:31
Oh, because we have a lot of costs and so I
07:34
want them to know them as well as the American culture.
07:39
So that's why I wanted,
07:41
you know, you're Mexican,
07:42
you have to speak Spanish too and you know,
07:44
you have to know all these things.
07:46
So Alexander is already bilingual.
07:49
Yes. Thank you.
07:52
Ola, what lessons specifically do you focus on for this trip
07:57
to Mexico? So you have a few things here you have
08:00
Can you mind explaining this is for when you go to
08:02
a restaurant, like sometimes they are going to give you a
08:06
soda and a boa because,
08:08
well, it's because I think they have to return.
08:11
This is a Mexican to go cup.
08:16
Exactly. Exactly. Yes.
08:22
Talking about I'm like,
08:23
oh, and then,
08:25
and then I'm going to go.
08:26
All right. So what?
08:28
And then we have a OK,
08:31
this is OK, thank you.
08:34
You know, over there you have to buy your tortillas in
08:37
la tortillaria. So you have to take your own napkin and
08:41
then you put it on,
08:43
on there and they put the tortillas in here like on here
08:47
and they just cover them like this.
08:49
I used to do this when I was a little girl all
08:51
the time. My mom would tell me to the tortillaria and
08:53
I would be like with my,
08:54
with my napkin, you know.
08:56
Yeah, there and this one kind of scares me because I
08:59
kind of know where we're going with this one.
09:02
As a Mexican. I have to have a lava in my
09:07
house. So over there in Mexico it's very common that you
09:11
have a lava. So may Aita would say to wash white
09:16
clothes like Caines and stuff like that.
09:19
It's better if you want.
09:22
All right. So we have,
09:25
you got Alexander. He wants some soda in the bag,
09:29
man. Alexander. You want some soda?
09:32
It is actually going to be his first time drinking soda.
09:36
Let's see. Yeah.
09:36
Yeah, of course.
09:37
Don't worry. Let's see if he's like you want to say
09:44
it. Let's go.
09:49
Do you like it?
09:51
So all this prep and you know,
09:53
training, I guess you can say,
09:55
do you think it made a difference for your trip with Alexander
09:57
Well, I think so especially.
09:59
Oh yeah, especially because I always tell him Mijo you 10
10:05
Espanol. Espanol. It's just really nice to speak both languages
10:09
you know. No.
10:10
Yeah, I think you get to converse and it's even though
10:12
it's just a language specifically,
10:13
but like you experience more of that culture as well.
10:16
It kind of comes with it,
10:17
right? The right being Mexican,
10:19
you know, and everything and even like this Latino because sometimes
10:23
you talk to other people that aren't silly Mexican.
10:25
But again, knowing that language,
10:26
I feel like open that door for you.
10:28
Yeah, of course.
10:29
Yeah. That's awesome.
10:30
Did he pass the Mexican check?
10:33
I think so. Do you think he,
10:35
I think he's still small but you know,
10:37
I mean, I think he knows a lot of words.
10:40
He's all right. So he's already got me be with my
10:42
Noo Spanish. So for me it's like they had to speak
10:45
Spanish. Maybe they can be a little bit nosa kids.
10:49
You know what? Something like when you say,
10:53
like for example, you say no word but it's OK.
11:02
It's OK. It's just that when you go to Mexico,
11:05
like if you're going to Mexico,
11:06
you need to say the word like estacion because if you say
11:10
they're going to be like,
11:11
what is that? You know,
11:17
there's no. So I feel like it's all good.
11:20
It's you as the parents instill that culture in him.
11:23
Again, the tortilla culture,
11:25
the BSA these little experiences are going to eventually leave a mark
11:31
on him and I think it's fun.
11:34
It's fun. I think we're having fun and it's funny that
11:36
you mentioned that you don't want him to be no Savo or
11:40
not even that but speak incorrect Spanish because you go over there
11:43
they speak English now.
11:45
They're like no siwe esque como pop and I'm like,
11:48
wait, why are you guys now using English?
11:53
OK, cool. So I think they call them the Mexicans
12:00
Mexicans when you're trying to speak English and Spanish over there.
12:07
They're Mexicans. Yeah,
12:08
definitely. So again,
12:10
it's like no Sao Wean,
12:12
they're all the same and we're all Latino.
12:17
All right. Well,
12:18
I mean, honestly,
12:19
I feel like it's a good starter pack for myself.
12:21
So I'm going to make sure I remember all this when I
12:22
go to Mexico a few months,
12:23
you need this. I need that.
12:26
I'll try to pack that.
12:28
At least you're going to need this for not going to hit
12:33
the same. And when people find you on social media,
12:36
it's just for me,
12:38
for me, Johnny Sanders,
12:39
Jon Isa ndezx. We're going to have a social media for
12:45
Xander soon. He's getting popular with the B All right guys
12:52
Will you have it?
12:52
Show him some love and we'll see you guys in Mexico maybe
12:58
Thank you guys.
12:58
Thank you. Welcome to Mitu Daily,
13:05
Marcelo Hernandez. Oh wow,
13:13
Mira Lo, first of all,
13:16
congratulations. You are Snls first Gen Z Latino cast member.
13:22
Hey, so what are some things you have had to put
13:26
the rest of the cast on?
13:27
I don't know. I think when you walk by my dressing
13:30
room, I think maybe some of the reggaeton maybe they
13:34
some people maybe haven't heard before,
13:35
some of the new stuff.
13:37
I'm very up to date on my on my reggaeton
13:42
and there's a lot of classic Merengue playing.
13:44
So I think definitely some of the cast and writers will
13:49
be like, Marcelo has made me listen to some Spanish music
13:54
I love that.
13:55
Who on the cast is the honorary Latino?
13:58
I don't know,
13:59
Keenan is probably Keenan is probably an honorary Latino for sure
14:06
There's definitely a little bit of flavor.
14:08
I love it, Marce.
14:09
I see the Miami in the back.
14:11
You're from Miami. So I gotta ask,
14:14
what is the Miami accent?
14:16
Tell me about it,
14:18
bro. Like, I think the Miami like to be from
14:22
Miami. Like, it's just like,
14:25
I don't know, bro.
14:26
Like, there's definitely a lot of like,
14:29
like we are definitely like talk like that and like I
14:34
think it's really just,
14:35
you know, Cubans speaking Spanish and then having to speak English
14:39
but keeping the same tone.
14:43
So in Spanish, I was gonna be like,
14:47
you have to show in English and be like,
14:49
you already know like,
14:51
so Marlo let me throw some hypotheticals at you.
14:54
OK? I wanna see how you would respond.
14:56
OK. Oh gosh.
15:00
So you're on a first date and she asked you to order
15:04
a drink for her.
15:05
What are you ordering for me?
15:07
I mean, you,
15:09
well, no, for her,
15:10
for me, whatever,
15:11
whoever, whatever. OK.
15:14
I'll be honest,
15:15
usually I don't, I will say no,
15:17
she just order a,
15:17
I'll go no. What do you usually drink?
15:19
And then I will,
15:21
I ask a more of a,
15:23
you know, getting to know her.
15:25
That's a green flag.
15:27
You're, you're not,
15:28
you're not telling her what to do.
15:29
You're asking her, you're getting to know,
15:31
you know, what do you usually eat or what's your energy
15:34
What are you feeling today?
15:36
What's the vibe? Something sweet,
15:39
something sour. You know,
15:40
I like that. I like that.
15:42
So, you're a mama's boy,
15:43
loud and proud. I love it.
15:45
But let's settle this debate.
15:47
you're driving the car?
15:48
Ok. Both your mommy and your girl,
15:51
they're there. Who's getting to be passenger princess and sitting in
15:55
the front. I think it's,
15:56
I think it's mommy all day long and if you have a
16:00
problem with that. No,
16:01
I think, yeah,
16:02
I don't think I don't have a problem with that.
16:05
No, I think my mom is the passenger princess and
16:09
I think it's it's up to my mom to be like
16:11
one day like, you know,
16:13
no outfit in the back and I'll be like,
16:15
are you sure, you know,
16:16
that means it's getting very serious if my mom is like she
16:19
can sit in the front.
16:20
Yeah, that's, that's literally serious.
16:24
So we play a little game now.
16:27
Come on, you guys Marcelo.
16:28
A couple rapid fire questions.
16:30
Ok. Oh, ok.
16:33
Ok. So flirting.
16:36
Do you prefer Spanish or English?
16:39
I think and it is probably more fun for me.
16:48
Spanish is fun. Spanish is like exclusive,
16:52
you know, you can,
16:53
you can flirt in Spanish and no one else around you.
16:55
Well, depending on where you are,
16:56
you know what I don't know about flirting,
16:58
but I definitely enjoy like that like being at a restaurant and
17:02
speaking Spanish and seeing something and being able to say it in
17:05
Spanish and then nobody knows what you're talking about.
17:08
That's really nice. Yeah,
17:10
it's a lot of fun.
17:10
Miami or New York.
17:12
Maybe Miami for fun and New York for work.
17:15
Ok, Miami for fun.
17:16
New York for business.
17:17
But yeah, there's also business to be done in Miami and
17:20
there's also fun to be had in New York.
17:21
I told you you would have a hard time with these.
17:24
I'm gonna make you choose on this one.
17:25
OK. All right.
17:27
Bad bunny or KLG.
17:29
OK. Absolutely not.
17:30
What is that? What you,
17:32
no, no, no,
17:32
no, no, no.
17:32
Because I'm literally making you choosing right now.
17:35
Bad money. What are you trying to do to be here
17:37
I'm not trying to do anything to just,
17:39
just answer the question.
17:41
No, absolutely not.
17:43
I love the boat.
17:44
I love Karol G.
17:45
She's the sweetest, most adorable.
17:49
Like music is amazing.
17:51
I was just listening to her this song by her.
17:55
I need to find it.
17:56
I was just listening to Pero with car which is a
18:01
banger banger and she's Colombian.
18:04
So I know she's cooking.
18:06
I know. I'm just saying,
18:07
I'm just saying, I'm just saying,
18:09
and Benito, I think he knows that you know
18:13
I went to see him in the,
18:14
in Miami and I think that what he's doing is so incredible
18:18
and it's an honor for me to feel like I was
18:22
you know, there for any of it.
18:23
And the fact that he could come to SNL and that
18:27
I could put him in a sketch that actually,
18:28
you know, made some noise.
18:32
It means the world to me.
18:33
And yeah. So ha ha ha ha.
18:38
Bad bunny or KG.
18:40
No, I'm joking.
18:41
I won't make you.
18:41
Oh, baby. I love them so much.
18:43
So short. King or petite prince.
18:47
I like king and I like Prince.
18:49
Yeah, I don't think that I,
18:51
I don't think there needs to be anything before.
18:54
I think the girlies like King and Prince,
18:56
the girlies can settle with that.
18:58
Let's just, let's just,
18:59
let's just drop the short,
19:01
let's drop the short,
19:04
the short, it's overrated.
19:05
Anyway. Do you think that short guys need to be reminded
19:12
of, of how tall they are or do you think that
19:16
they just wanna feel good like everybody else?
19:18
King? You're so right.
19:20
I, I've never been in that position.
19:24
I mean, I've always been like a short girl,
19:25
but right, even when someone's like,
19:28
oh, you're so short,
19:29
I don't really like that.
19:30
So I apologize on the girlies behalf for that title.
19:35
How could they, how do you say Ban Buchanan Oran or
19:41
Buchanan or how do you say it?
19:44
The beauty of this campaign is?
19:47
Look at it. Is that,
19:51
that's what the phrase that they've chosen for this campaign?
19:54
Combo Ligas, however you say it.
19:57
So if you bring a whiskey with a name like that to
20:00
a Latin neighborhood. You're going to get some alternate pronunciations.
20:06
You know, my dad,
20:07
depending on the day will say Muhanna or Bachan or Buchanan Oran
20:17
I like to say Ban or Bach,
20:20
I think Latinos especially we have fun mispronouncing stuff,
20:25
you know. We,
20:27
it's a part of your day to day.
20:28
I used to make fun of my mom for saying caca
20:32
and I'd be like,
20:32
it's coconut, she'd be like coconut.
20:36
And then, you know,
20:37
because we like to say stuff fast,
20:38
you know. So I think that's what this campaign is kind
20:41
of about. It's how,
20:44
even though we all say things differently,
20:46
you know, we say straw,
20:48
everyone says straw differently in the Latin community or popcorn,
20:52
you know, everybody has a different word for it or something
20:54
like this, you know,
20:55
no matter how you say Boca,
21:01
it's something we have at the family party and the strong men
21:04
teach you that men drink whiskey,
21:07
you know. And that's how I grew up watching my
21:09
dad and his friends drink whiskey.
21:11
And now I'm doing it.
21:14
Love it. Well,
21:16
Comodo Di Marcelo, you won.
21:18
I mean, you didn't have to choose because that's what this
21:20
campaign is all about.
21:21
So, thank you so,
21:24
so much for joining us today.
21:25
You are a king.
21:27
You are a winner and we're so proud of you.
21:29
Seriously. Thank you.
21:30
Nice to meet you.
21:31
Great. Job. Thank you.
21:33
I'll see you guys again.
21:34
We'll see you again.
21:36
Thank you so much,
21:37
Marcelo Teen.
