00:06
Hi guys. Welcome back to Mitu Daily.
00:08
I'm Jenny. I'm Alejandro.
00:16
before I forget today we're brought to you by the Mitu newsletter
00:21
sign up at Wear meu.com to stay up to date on
00:24
Mitu news events and more.
00:27
OK? And now let's get to the show.
00:30
This next story is scandalous as hell.
00:33
Only because like I know that for a fact us Latinos will
00:37
never be able to follow it.
00:38
Which one? So in New Zealand Airport has caused a stir
00:40
where they sign that caps.
00:42
Goodbye, cuddles to three minutes.
00:45
This movement is designed to keep traffic flowing in drop off zones
00:47
and enable others to have hugs.
00:50
The fact that New Zealand needs to limit the length of goodbye
00:55
Hugs says something about them,
00:57
brother. Like sometimes you need more than three minutes.
01:00
Like especially with these Boeing planes.
01:02
You never know. You just never know.
01:04
It's true. It's true.
01:06
I mean, but exactly,
01:07
but you get what I mean?
01:08
Right. Like there's no way in hell,
01:10
Latinos are going to follow this rule.
01:11
Like imagine telling someone,
01:13
hey, grandma, you got to go beep,
01:16
beep whose car is this?
01:17
Move it? I'm going to tow it.
01:18
Well, yeah, even at family parties,
01:20
they take too long to say goodbye or is it the Latino
01:23
Goodbye? But not really.
01:28
There's so many steps to it.
01:29
That's crazy. How do you feel about it?
01:35
We need this here in Lalalax is a freaking,
01:40
And you see someone's Honda Civic Park there with no one in
01:44
Like, oh, that's specific brother.
01:45
Well, I always see like a Honda C or like a
01:49
freaking even a Mercedes because you know the entitled soccer mom went
01:52
inside to go say goodbye to the grandma and the tia that
01:55
can visit. But for me it's a freaking tros.
01:58
The big they always just pull up and take all the,
02:04
it's like guys, there's a cell phone waiting lot.
02:06
If you're going to pick somebody up,
02:07
wait there, just post up and then hey,
02:10
I'm outside the terminal,
02:12
There's a process. There is.
02:13
But so I think this would kind of help,
02:15
right? It kind of keep it moving like the Mary hustle
02:17
and bustle of L A like I'm on Yeah,
02:19
this is true. This is true.
02:22
The 2025 MLB season hasn't even started and we already have some
02:26
drama sister. Please don't tell me my Dodgers got caught up
02:31
in something stupid. No,
02:32
we're good. The 2024 World Series champs.
02:35
The Dodgers never, it actually involves the San Diego Padres down
02:41
south. So they recently got caught up after one of the
02:45
Dominican prospects has reportedly been suspected of identity fraud.
02:51
So according to ESPN,
02:53
the team had verbally agreed to sign the player on his 16th
02:56
birthday. However, an investigation by the mob found that the
03:00
player who announced himself as 14 years old is actually five years
03:08
0, so he was playing with a bunch of little kids
03:12
That's what he pause.
03:14
That sounds wrong. Oh no,
03:18
no, I'm thinking he was in the,
03:19
in the division playing with a bunch of younger baseball players,
03:25
So that's why he seemed like he was really good.
03:27
Yeah. Yeah, it's like the older brother of the squad
03:30
you know, this Dinger was lying about his age.
03:33
This reminds me of the bench warmers movie.
03:35
You know the one with the Napoleon Dynamite in it,
03:38
that guy, you know where they have the Dominican players,
03:42
show his paperwork and it says I am 12 and he's Dominican
03:48
What Dominican says about their age?
03:50
He Dominican or I know they play Gasolina.
03:52
So is he Puerto Rican or Dominican in the movie?
03:54
Anyways? But I get what you're saying.
03:55
But you know what I mean?
03:56
Five years is insane though.
03:58
How can you not tell that's a big boy and how is
04:02
nobody talking about the fact that they were ready to give $4
04:07
million to a 14 year old.
04:11
are just down bad like that.
04:13
They need a win and this is,
04:15
their future. But apparently the agreement between the player and the
04:19
team, which included again,
04:20
like I said, a $4 million signing bonus has been nullified
04:23
by the authorities. So Padres get back to scouting because you
04:28
lost your guy. Barcelona is facing a red alert warning for
04:31
dangerous heavy rains with part of the city including the airport beginning
04:34
to flood fatalities from Spain's worst flash floods in modern history rose
04:40
to 217. Almost all of them in the Valencia region and
04:45
hundreds are unfortunately still missing.
04:48
The intense rain overwhelmed river banks,
04:50
receiving more rain in eight hours than in the previous 20 months
04:56
Many victims were trapped in low lying areas and underground garages
05:01
due to a lack of help.
05:02
Protesters hurled mud at Spain's King,
05:04
Queen and Prime Minister after the floods,
05:06
King Felipe Queen Leticia and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez were met with
05:10
anger in Papua, a town badly hit by devastating floods in
05:14
Valencia. So footage showed angry crowds lining the streets,
05:18
throwing objects and booing as a three toured the town while security
05:22
officials used their hands and umbrellas to shield them.
05:26
This might have something to do with Valencia's President Carlos Mason abolishing
05:31
the Valencia emergency unit last year.
05:35
So it's like the resources that they could have had for this
05:41
And then again, I don't blame the Spaniards.
05:43
Right. Yeah. It's like,
05:45
hey, you're going to come to my city,
05:46
take your pictures. Wave like no and act like you care
05:50
and did something about it when you did nothing.
05:53
It's all like a photo op II,
05:55
I see how they see things.
05:58
but scientists suggest human climate change may be linked to increased rainfall
06:01
and extreme weather patterns.
06:03
There are also fears the disease spread due to the widespread flooding
06:06
That's crazy. I mean,
06:08
again, these government people,
06:10
man, how are you going to come over here and do
06:11
your little world tour and pretend everything's ok.
06:15
Right. It's like the guy from,
06:17
was it Texas? Remember when everything was frozen and everything in
06:20
Texas was going crazy.
06:22
Home was going to go on vacation or something.
06:27
bro, this is the time when your people need you the
06:29
most. Exactly. And that's what you're there for.
06:31
You're not there to act pretty and you know,
06:34
I'm sorry, but the monarchy,
06:36
come on now. It's fricking 2024 going on 25 a night
06:42
meant to celebrate the L A Dodgers World Series title takes a
06:45
traumatic turn for a fan trying to light a firework brother.
06:53
That was the last thing I wanted to see online after winning
06:56
that I was like seeing a bunch of people celebrating like,
07:02
It was definitely intense.
07:03
Yeah. So a user white wall stunt shared a video with
07:06
another man trying to set off fireworks in downtown L A.
07:09
As people in the video warned the man not to point the
07:11
firework at them. The firework exploded essentially blowing off the fan's
07:19
it was gruesome. The graphic video showed not only the fan
07:23
being covered in blood but at certain points,
07:26
his face appeared to be in total shock.
07:29
As witnesses implored the fan to sit down.
07:32
The part that scared me though was when you hear someone begging
07:36
to call 911 to give the fan medical help because you don't
07:39
expect it to be like that crazy because he turns away and
07:43
then you don't really know what's going on.
07:45
Oh me to burn himself or whatever.
07:47
But then you see like,
07:48
oh and again, all hell breaks loose but like you could
07:53
technically blame this on the Yankees in a way like hear me
07:56
out like if Rizzo would have ran to first and like,
08:01
you know, then the game would have been a whole different
08:03
outcome. Homeboy would price up all his fingers.
08:05
Oh my God, you're talking about the butterfly effect.
08:08
yeah, it's like all the series of events that happened because
08:11
the dos won. But it's like what if they,
08:12
you know, even if they scored only one more.
08:15
I don't know, but just like the whole,
08:17
it's a conspiracy theory but I don't know.
08:21
You know what Daddy Yankee said,
08:23
loo paso brother. That's true.
08:26
It's like there's no going back from that one.
08:29
But I feel bad that I don't want to play the fireworks
08:33
ever. Even on the fourth of July.
08:34
The little sparkles, I get scared.
08:37
But I mean, I saw the posts and the comments are
08:41
controversial. Some people are saying dang,
08:44
why would he do that?
08:45
And then there's others like,
08:46
oh poor guy. I mean,
08:48
I'm both like, why would you do that?
08:51
Yeah, he was just want to celebrate.
08:53
Everyone does a firework every now and then but I'm scared now
08:56
a gofundme has since been launched for the man who got hospitalized
09:01
from the incident. So there's a gofundme page,
09:04
his family set it up for him.
09:06
He's doing well, he's recovering.
09:10
I know guys just please be careful playing fireworks and we wish
09:13
is Doctor Fan and speedy recovery.
09:16
What's up? Mitu Familia?
09:17
My name is Tomas and we're out here at Zuma Dero Fest
09:20
and we're just gonna be asking people what financial advice they would
09:23
have told their younger selves.
09:24
Let's go. What's one financial advice that you would give your
09:46
younger self? Think about budgeting?
09:48
I never had a budget when I was younger.
09:49
I literally just spent and spent and spent.
09:51
00, I got a high credit card this month.
09:54
So I think the idea of planning is really,
09:56
really important when you're younger.
09:58
Don't be afraid to ask questions.
09:59
Not everybody knows even the basic terms,
10:01
just ask interest stocks,
10:03
all of it. Just go ahead and ask,
10:04
people ask everybody actually start saving early,
10:08
just start saving, save that money.
10:10
Even if you're only saving $2.05 dollars over a course of time
10:15
that is going to compound into financial independence and impact in a
10:20
way that if you wait until you're in your 30 or 40
10:22
I would have loved to start investing as early as possible and
10:25
to really learn that magic of free money with compound compound interest
10:30
Can you tell us just basically what it is?
10:33
Tell the viewers like what it is,
10:34
it's like interest on the interest.
10:36
So if you invest $10 in 10 years,
10:41
It could be $1000 100,000 dollars depending on what interest rate you
10:44
have the interest that you keep gaining,
10:46
that keeps reinvesting itself.
10:49
And then all of a sudden you're like,
10:50
oh my God, I'm a millionaire.
10:52
Imagine that if you,
10:53
you're just been saving like $20 but never under the mattress.
10:58
Because that will never grow.
11:00
Hey, Justin invested all the money you spent on shoes and
11:03
cars and girls 20 years ago.
11:08
I think I'd be in a much better place right now.
11:09
If you could have received any financial advice when you were younger
11:12
what would you have liked it to be,
11:15
Receive the money you deserve for the effort and the energy that
11:23
Mitu familia, you heard it here first,
11:25
learn how to say properly,
11:26
get you some of that compound interest and know your worth.
11:30
Thank you. He is the co-founder and Chief Concert Officer of
11:39
Toma. Please help me welcome to Mitu Daily Manolo Vergara.
11:44
Hello. And in today's news,
11:51
I feel like I'm like a weekend updates,
11:59
jokes. So how are you?
12:01
I'm good. How are you?
12:02
I'm good. Thank you for having me.
12:03
Thank you for being here today.
12:06
Yes, we're happy to have.
12:07
I wish I had food to bring you guys.
12:11
I'm so happy. We ran out,
12:14
we sold out, sold out.
12:16
Well, we sold out completely in New York.
12:19
we're, we're based in Florida mostly.
12:21
So we don't really have a whole lot of products here in
12:23
California. So I have nothing to give you.
12:26
I come empty handed.
12:27
I'm so sorry, but I will send you guys some.
12:31
I have seen the menu and I'm like,
12:33
oh my goodness, this is my dream.
12:35
I need to, I need to try.
12:37
It's good stuff. So tell me manolo growing up in a
12:40
Colombian household, what were your favorite things to eat?
12:44
Panda Bonos. Choy's Martes.
12:53
My favorite la Pata Margarita de Pollo.
12:58
It's the best flavored chicken flavored potato chips is phenomenal and these
13:04
are kind of rare nowadays but,
13:06
but Farra, the little gray little sausages that you eat with
13:16
I'm happy now because there's a lot more you can find here
13:19
in L A. But before it used to be rare gems
13:22
like Cuando Noa Colombia,
13:23
you would come back on La Maleta JL A is a little
13:26
tougher than definitely than Miami.
13:29
Miami. You can get whatever you want.
13:38
so tell me about that.
13:39
How did Toma came to be hunger?
13:42
Hunger? There was just no good Latin for example,
13:44
everybody is a tacos coming Mexicana,
13:46
all that kind of stuff that's easy to find.
13:48
That's everywhere. Everybody knows what a burrito is.
13:50
Everybody loves a burrito.
13:51
That's wonderful. But if you want like a Pande bono or
13:54
Napa, good luck finding that in L A.
13:56
So this was, this was what the impetus was that.
13:58
There is no really good easy Latin food across the United States
14:04
You can make it at home that can take a lot
14:08
I like, I don't wanna do that.
14:08
I just wanna have like a quick thing that reminds me of
14:11
home. But it doesn't take the time to go home.
14:14
You know, Toma is not just Colombian.
14:16
This was AAA point that I,
14:18
I was very stringent on that.
14:21
I don't want it just to be Colombian when I want to
14:22
be like the best of Latin American food.
14:26
So it's like the greatest hit.
14:27
So we have Cuban croquet,
14:28
we have obviously arepas panos,
14:30
we have teos, we are empanadas,
14:33
so not Colombian. So come on me,
14:35
Argentina me the greatest because II I agree the best food is
14:42
I mean, in my opinion,
14:43
Colombian proud. But the best food in Latin America is the
14:45
fusion of Yeah. Yeah,
14:47
I also don't want to eat just you know,
14:49
arepas for the rest of my life.
14:51
I gotta switch it up a little.
14:53
So help me explain because this is actually we're the only Colombians
14:57
in the room. Let me explain cheese in our chocolate.
15:02
Oh I can't explain that.
15:03
I don't understand that.
15:04
I've also never done that.
15:05
I don't understand. No.
15:07
Like why would I put cheese in my chocolate?
15:08
I love it. I mean it's kind of like putting like
15:11
milk or butter. It is just the dairy situation at the
15:14
end just like in a different level of moldiness,
15:17
I guess. But I'm also not a big chocolate drinker
15:25
and then, but like no,
15:26
like it's like you remember when like this bullet coffee came out
15:29
and it was oh you're putting butter in your coffee.
15:30
Yeah, it's the same thing as putting cream in your coffee
15:32
You've just, you know,
15:34
mix the cream until it's separated from the fat.
15:36
So it's not that crazy to me.
15:39
I would imagine that the texture though,
15:41
of drinking the chocolate,
15:42
it can get a little because it's melting.
15:44
It's fine. It's like melted cheese.
15:46
It's just good. I like it.
15:48
I'm not gonna y your yum.
15:50
But it's weird. It's weird.
15:51
OK, fine. It's weird but it's really good and you
15:54
should try it. So you guys are expanding all over the
15:59
Congratulations. Thank you very much.
16:01
Thank you. Was there a specific moment or experience that made
16:04
you want to decide to take Doma to Busch Gardens?
16:08
not necessarily a singular moment,
16:11
but we just, we know that this is like a,
16:13
a fun food to eat like we want it to be like
16:17
you know, grab and go things.
16:18
So it just, it makes perfect sense to be in a
16:20
place like Busch Gardens for us because people are like having fun
16:23
and you're with your family and it's kind of tropical because Tampa's
16:26
hot and so it's just like a perfect fit for us once
16:28
they once the opportunity made,
16:31
made itself available, what is next for Tomar any more?
16:35
So we are, we just finished the hollow screen at
16:40
at Busch Gardens, you know,
16:42
they do like their scary Halloween situation but now we're gonna do
16:46
their Christmas which runs from November 15th until January 5th.
16:50
So we will, we will have our pop up there.
16:51
You can find us there.
16:53
We also have cocktails at this location and we're also,
16:56
we're also expanding throughout,
16:59
not just South Florida with,
17:00
with new farm stores and new partners,
17:04
but also through, through the rest of the,
17:05
of the United States.
17:07
we're gonna be launching in California very soon.
17:10
We, we just launched in Madrid and we're gonna be doing
17:14
Barcelona Valencia, another location in Madrid very soon.
17:21
yeah. And we're doing eats Con in Miami in February
17:24
We'll be there with,
17:25
with our stuff and we're just kind of,
17:28
you know, chugging along.
17:29
We, we will be in Walmart's starting February of 2025.
17:34
So we're very excited.
17:35
That is so exciting.
17:37
I'm personally super excited for here in California.
17:41
But the fact that if I'm ever in Madrid,
17:43
oh Domas here. Well,
17:45
the idea is that wherever you are in the world,
17:47
you can get a little piece of home.
17:50
Wonderful, beautiful touch.
17:51
That's a good slogan.
17:52
I should, you should trademark it right now.
17:56
Manolo Vergara and Toma.
