00:06
Is he in the background?
00:09
Oh we're live. Please,
00:12
welcome back to Me through Daily.
00:14
I'm Jen. Oh yeah,
00:16
you're. I'm Alejandro and oh no it's just one of two
00:17
today. But then last week were you out and Gene was
00:24
on? Yeah, there's there's beef.
00:27
We're beefing and so that's just kind of like a cheese corner
00:31
exclusive on my behalf.
00:33
I don't know when will be in the same corner again,
00:36
but that sucks. They can't be in the same building I'll
00:39
try to provide as much chime.
00:41
Yes, please do just kidding.
00:43
There's no beef. He's on vacation.
00:45
Well, you said your back was hurting,
00:46
right? It's from carrying the weight of the cheese,
00:48
bro, because yes,
00:49
it's still hurting, man.
00:51
Speaking of beef, dude,
00:57
it's cal it's caldo season,
00:58
brother. I, I,
00:59
I'm, I'm honestly heating up like a caldo.
01:02
There's a heat wave,
01:03
guys. There's a heat wave here in.
01:05
LA and it's, it's cooking all of us honestly like it's
01:08
freaking hot. Almost cooked my car this morning yeah all that
01:12
is let's just say that's why I was late remember when I
01:17
said it was one of those days like the Kiki Palmeria Ray
01:20
says a movie? That's all they're gonna say one of them
01:24
days, yeah dude,
01:26
it's crazy that this heat wave is.
01:30
it's really like I,
01:31
I feel like summer came in a little late,
01:34
like the weather, right?
01:35
I think I saw a headline this morning saying that Angeleno's survived
01:39
the coldest summer in the last 100 years this year,
01:42
something like that drama.
01:44
Well, remember that they went to go see Freaky Friday.
01:46
I pulled up in a hoodie because I was like I had
01:49
shorts and a hoodie because it wasn't that hot.
01:50
I was like, No.
01:52
It's already kind of fresco right now,
01:53
like, but then it kind of came late again somebody's like
01:56
we're always late to stuff.
01:59
It's always on Latino time,
02:01
but,, what,
02:02
what, what do you guys like to do,
02:04
like like those summer hacks as Latinos like to do
02:06
like I personally, well,
02:09
in general I love,
02:11
I'm one of those few people that love having a
02:12
good caldo in the summer.
02:14
I like I like in the summer time,
02:19
yeah, but it's like if it's like 90 degrees or under
02:21
right right under it's perfect fall weather.
02:25
Anything overnight. OK,
02:25
it's summer is how I get it,
02:27
but what about you then?
02:28
What do you like?
02:29
Like, so like for me I can't do the caldo,
02:33
but for some reason una carnitasada and actually sitting.
02:38
Outside in the thick of the heat while it's being,
02:42
I don't know it just hits while it's marinating and you're sweating
02:45
and my dad's like cabeza because he's bald is like you could
02:48
see the beans. I don't know something about that is like
02:52
this is a good summer day.
02:54
I like that. I like that a lot.
02:57
People are saying is it mangos or mango?
02:59
I don't know. I've always said,
03:01
yeah, same, man,
03:02
but I saw mangoadas recently like I don't know,
03:05
but yeah, so.
03:05
Some say magoada. Some say wet towels,
03:08
yeah, I was gonna say and then oh dude love it
03:10
when I get 3rd degree burns from whenever I touch the metal
03:12
part of the seat belt.
03:14
That's the word ceviche with the cold 101 cevichito.
03:23
Dude, yeah, and then dude,
03:24
I just don't like that my parents don't like to turn on
03:26
the air conditioning at their house and they have it.
03:29
Like, is it a Latino?
03:30
I'm glad you brought it up because I didn't wanna call my
03:32
parents out like that,
03:33
but it's always like boya prede de la boy porque.
03:39
That's so true. Or that's music to my ears,
03:42
of course, because it's like finally thank God like you know
03:47
and my my fan is going over time like about to fly
03:50
like spinning like reinando like oh my God and you hear the
03:55
little that's so true what you said though it's just like,
03:59
oh let's turn it on now.
04:00
It's like bro, we're cooked and it's always like 20 minutes
04:04
only. Yeah, a little bit like it's cool down and
04:06
then that's it. I like to sleep with my wet t-shirt
04:13
on at night when there's no air.
04:16
I will get in,
04:16
I will get in the shower and sleep with my t-shirt and
04:20
hope that I go to sleep before.
04:22
Oh my God, but anyways guys,
04:25
right, really quick,
04:25
last couple comments before we move on.
04:27
So the sunburn keeps you warm during the nap is nostalgic.
04:30
Oh, that's true,
04:31
bro, because like you feel feverish.
04:33
Oh yeah, and then like you wake up,
04:36
you see the little marks.
04:37
Oh yeah, I've seen.
04:38
And then Clipper Carl said AC is expensive.
04:40
Then why did you get it,
04:41
mom? I mean,
04:42
it came with the apartment in my case.
04:44
I have it on right now.
04:45
Like I'm not even home,
04:46
but when I get home I want it to be nice and
04:47
cool. No, so you'll,
04:51
hey, it's for the baby,
04:51
bro. I want the baby to have what I didn't have
04:54
growing up, AC.
04:57
We had AC, but again it wasn't,
04:58
it was all like you said like I had,
04:59
but the microplastics. I saw this thing and I'm like damn
05:05
am I turning into like white people are like,
05:07
oh don't drive around with your windows down the road because the
05:09
microplastics and the fumes.
05:10
I'm like, really.
05:12
Again, like we're gonna die eventually,
05:14
but I keep saying that to myself.
05:16
I'm like it's inevitable.
05:18
We're all cooked chopped some of us are.
05:19
That's true. But anyways,
05:19
who isn't chopped or or what's going on?
05:27
Let me tell you what's going on with all these music festivals
05:29
in Los Angeles. Music festivals.
05:33
So I know you guys are a little confused,
05:34
but remember when we talked about Algo speak brother remember all the
05:38
winter boots, the boots,
05:40
yes, yes, so we used keywords to trick the algorithm
05:45
that is happening again so it seems like festivals are popping up
05:49
all over the place and people keep checking out the concerts.
05:53
So that's that that's what people are saying yes so now people
05:59
on TikTok are having to use new code words like music festivals
06:04
to discuss protests or ICE raids without having their content shadow banned
06:09
or deleted so it looks like TikTok is kind of censoring
06:13
these, these videos that are talking.
06:15
About the ice raids they're talking about what's going on with the
06:17
eyes that are talking about,
06:18
you know, all that honestly I haven't been seeing them that
06:21
often. I don't know about you.
06:23
I didn't even know it was a,
06:24
a trend. I mean it just sucks that like it's like
06:27
with the boots thing it's like these,
06:28
I mean again it's a platform and they can do whatever they
06:31
want but they're sneaky because like again they hide the stuff that
06:37
I don't know. Well,
06:39
you guys, if you guys wanna search for yourselves,
06:41
search for LA Music festivals on TikTok and see what mainstream media
06:45
isn't showing you. And what TikTok might be sorry,
06:51
sorry, sorry, TikTok,
06:52
I don't know why I got stumbled.
06:54
What TikTok might be silencing.
06:56
What if that was TikTok trying to silence you?
06:59
Oh, the, the little stumble a little stumble,
07:01
they were like, yeah,
07:02
like my wires weren't working,
07:04
so yeah, your Wi Fi is connected for a second,
07:06
the AI, AI,
07:08
that's so annoying, man.
07:10
Like before people say like,
07:11
oh you guys are outing it,
07:12
it's like, no.
07:12
For now it's like just so you guys know if you guys
07:14
come across these things or you're looking for these resources search it
07:18
this way for now because it's I don't know again they're hiding
07:21
and said you get to watch stupid dance trends but you don't
07:25
get to actually. It's true like what what's going on like
07:28
I haven't been seeing it that often and I mean I
07:31
wonder why is because less people are posting about it or is
07:34
it because it's being censored so.
07:39
There you have it.
07:40
And Cavino, before we move on,
07:42
says it reminds me of the 2020 protests and they would go
07:44
shadow binding every video related to every video related and hashtags.
07:48
Yeah, so it's like I don't know again we're at their
07:51
whim and that's the danger of these platforms,
07:53
but also it's like it is a lot of people are so
07:55
it's kind of it can help but also they.
07:58
Yeah, yeah, they're silencing and at this point I feel
08:01
like it's a collective to document and and share a lot and
08:07
so it when it's so many of us I think a government
08:12
or people in charge can start fearing the masses and so these
08:18
are genuine tactics. That happened and have happened and countries a
08:22
lot of countries that my like my parents immigrated from a country
08:26
where the government was you know a a lot of immigrants come
08:30
from countries with these types of histories and it's just scary to
08:34
see it happening in front of our eyes and I don't
08:38
know this summer has been not only weird weather wise but.
08:41
The socioeconomic political state of the world,
08:44
even though it's complicated to understand and I sometimes tune in,
08:49
sometimes tune out, it's just weird.
08:52
So are, are,
08:53
are, are people seeing them affected the way they continue to
08:58
be attacked and impacted it,
09:00
it, it's not right.
09:02
Yeah. Well, I don't know how to change this to
09:06
the next story, but I'm gonna throw it back a little
09:08
bit, right? Well,
09:10
really quick, speaking of,
09:12
you know, being chopped and unk Daniella,
09:14
have you heard this sound?
09:15
Yeah, let me put it for you.
09:31
OK, that's the gist of it.
09:32
Do you, have you ever heard of that?
09:33
So it is new to me.
09:35
The first, the first,
09:37
the little dial reminds me of 2222,
09:41
the, the reggaeton song Noro de telephone who sings it.
09:47
But everything else was,
09:48
was kind of new.
09:50
OK, so, well,
09:52
regardless, you know we're gonna be able to experience it IRL
09:55
in real life because AOL just announced that it's finally shutting down
09:59
its iconic dial-up internet service are you bored?
10:02
No, no, no,
10:03
sorry, I'm hungry.
10:04
I'm hungry. No,
10:05
but so after more than 30 years,
10:07
AOL is finally shutting down,
10:08
like a dial-up service.
10:09
What? Yeah, I mean that's what I thought too,
10:13
but., so just like apparently the,
10:15
the service itself is shutting down.
10:17
Pedro,, they still have like shield browser and like
10:21
other like lanes of content and I guess that are still gonna
10:25
be up, but the actual internet service would dial up is
10:28
gonna shut down. Oh what?
10:30
That's crazy. Yeah,
10:32
is AOL not the like I know there's an email.
10:34
I know there's a like you could,
10:36
I don't know why my mom's dental office always had AOL on
10:41
her computer. I mean it was kind of like Yahoo or
10:44
like they just like MSNO but yeah AOL.com,
10:49
perro. I yeah,
10:51
they're finally shutting down that service and apparently like 160 to 175,000
10:56
households in the US still use dial-up.
11:00
That's like like 1% of all the internet connection,
11:03
but still people in 2025 were using it or they were maybe
11:08
not even using it,
11:08
but they're paying for it and yeah,
11:11
bro, but It's the end of an era.
11:16
I remember I steal CDs from like,
11:18
was it Target because they had like the free trials
11:21
like oh get like 90 days for free with a CD and
11:25
then find your mom for like the phone line like Mom get
11:28
off the phone or vice versaico get off the internet.
11:30
I have to call my whatever.
11:32
I know my mom caught me once.
11:33
Well, call my my boyfriend at the time.
11:37
he was on the before I.
11:38
Had a cell phone and he called on the on the phone
11:42
and then my mom was on the other line.
11:43
I didn't know she was on the other line and he
11:46
said something. What did he say?
11:51
I don't wanna repeat oh no and,
11:52
and, and yeah,
11:52
so my mom was like,
11:54
this da da da.
11:55
Why this? I'm like girl,
11:56
why are you on the phone?
11:58
Like so I didn't like that part.
11:59
That sounds like a jump scare.
12:01
It was scary honestly my blood boiled.
12:04
Well, dang end of an era of an era you know
12:08
what era I really want to end?
12:11
Cristian Noval in the news.
12:12
Oh snap, I'm sick and tired of it.
12:15
You wanna say adios adios Christian,
12:16
so I hate to be,
12:24
I hate to be saying his name,
12:25
giving him my attention.
12:28
But let me ask you,
12:30
or let me, let me put this into the.
12:35
Discussion. If someone asked my husband,
12:38
my future mans do nothing majinas attiamando a mujere the momento,
12:43
basically you don't imagine yourself loving someone else in this moment.
12:49
He better respond fast.
12:50
He better know the answer is no because we're married,
12:54
right? Isn't that the agreement?
12:55
You're with me. I'm with you.
12:56
We're here together forever.
12:58
Well, let, let's just watch the video.
13:00
Let's just watch the video.
13:06
Aman and the momento.
13:14
Mm And they still want to no.
13:29
So the momento de mivida,
13:33
no, exactly. There's so much to unpack here.
13:38
The silence was heard around the world.
13:40
It, it really,
13:41
I, I, I felt it.
13:43
I heard it. I,
13:43
I feel like crickets in Africa were bouncing around when this moment
13:47
happened and you can hear them crystal clear like that was loud
13:51
The TikToks they were doing a TikTok trend of the silence
13:53
of the amount of things you could get done like 1520 seconds
13:58
long. There's people graduating.
14:00
There's people cleaning their entire house.
14:02
There's people taking off on an airplane.
14:06
Oh hell yeah, let's let's let's take a look.
14:14
A man and the momento.
14:21
Mm. Steady, no,
14:32
no, at the moment.
14:40
Aman and the momento.
14:47
Mm the bro, OK,
15:03
the, the, the time they waited is already suspicious,
15:06
right? a red flag,
15:06
and he kind of hesitates to answer,
15:08
but then he had was his response?
15:11
No, at this time no.
15:13
And no momento no.
15:14
What you mean Erte momento?
15:16
What's gonna happen the next moment till death do us part.
15:19
Is that not what you said when you were at the altar
15:20
and Pepe Aguilar was staring you down in his seat and,
15:23
and the Aguilar dynasty was there looking at you and you were
15:27
looking at A Aguilar and you said till death do us part
15:29
I do, I do,
15:34
I do, and it's the momento apparently apparently I.
15:36
It's not his first rodeo,
15:37
right? Was he married to Belinda or just dating?
15:40
I don't know, but Belinda was before,
15:42
no? You're right.
15:43
Belinda was before. I don't think they were married.
15:45
She has the baby with Kazu was not married.
15:48
I don't think no,
15:50
I think they were just together,
15:51
and they had a baby,
15:52
but this is the one that he freaking and here's the big
15:56
thing, another revelation during this scandalous interview.
16:00
So Angela had previously said Kazu or Christian had been done with
16:04
his prior relationship with Kazu months in advance to when they started
16:08
dating. Hi, that's not what Cristian said this time around
16:13
He said it was a month,
16:14
a month between the break up to.
16:19
Dating and then marriage,
16:21
which I'm sorry, I'm not one to judge,
16:23
but dating for like two months and then rushing to the altar
16:27
is a little bit like what's going on here?
16:30
Well, what if they were dating before?
16:34
Well, someone said,
16:35
and Camino summed it up,
16:37
I am tired. Wait,
16:38
let me see, where is it at?
16:39
I'm so done with that.
16:41
I'm done with, yeah,
16:42
with all them. Cavino also said,
16:45
bro, we all know on the low he's married to her
16:47
on paper, but he's such,
16:49
he has a Sancha kiss a Sancha side chick you think I
16:55
mean. people with money like you told me some people that
16:58
are in the industry like oh they're made with this person but
17:00
I know that they're still doing this on the side like and
17:03
it's cool I'm not gonna say their name but like is that
17:07
I'm not here to even cause more cheeseme but industry wise
17:10
that usually happens when who they're really with can't be known like
17:17
If you get what I mean,
17:18
I'm not saying that about Cristian Noval,
17:21
but if that's the case,
17:22
that's just wrong. You have this young girl.
17:25
I mean, you're both young,
17:26
Christian and, and,
17:27
and Angela, but Angela,
17:30
like I don't know,
17:32
the surrelaiona kiddo fan porsre hopefully.
17:37
I don't know Camino disappointed.
17:39
It sounds like he's like,
17:40
you guys don't follow the cheese question mark,
17:42
mark mark. He has another woman.
17:44
Tell me more. Is it true though?
17:45
I mean, again,
17:46
all these allegations allegedly like I don't know,
17:48
like. And then,
17:53
what was it?
17:53
Miss Santana was a cheater,
17:56
yeah, you're right,
17:57
this is definitely a cheese.
18:00
There's a cheese mustache right here.
18:02
Like I need some I need my cup exactly,
18:07
but I need I need Kevino's mad that I don't know about
18:09
the other woman, dude.
18:10
I don't know about the other one.
18:11
I Kevi Kevino. I want the tea.
18:11
I, I, I missing this.
18:20
I don't know. I think it's all just cheese,
18:22
man, obviously, but,
18:24
with this with this interview,
18:25
it's kind of like.
18:27
Chrissy face locked in during my lunch right to contributey face if
18:31
you know something, drop it in the chat because we're lost
18:33
We're going off this one TikTok and we're like,
18:36
I don't know all to say of all the no
18:39
laguchime this is the one like,
18:42
you know, long time that that got me hooked.
18:44
Because it's just the pause was it's it reminds me of one
18:48
of those memes that will live on for a while because he
18:52
says Ee momento but like he's just literally like he's like thinking
18:57
about it he pauses for a good like 10.
19:02
It's like and like what about this?
19:05
What do you, what's,
19:06
what are the people inside your head?
19:08
What are they going crazy over and looking at files,
19:12
the filing can oh shoot,
19:13
but how do I respond to this?
19:14
No, it should be simple.
19:16
You're married, right?
19:17
Or unless it's a Danny Flow situation whereas.
19:21
What the fuck is that?
19:22

19:29

19:33
They love each other they love each other,
19:35
all of them. It's beautiful.
19:36
I mean it sounds kind of performative if you ask me.
19:43
Kyle said do a little digging on TikTok and there's this account
19:46
of this lady. She posts her gifts and you can see
19:49
nodal in the background.
19:51
She basically post a bunch of gifts and all that is in
19:56
the background. Oh my God,
20:00
Chrissy's also saying Cato G and Fay's getting married.
20:02
Girl, we could talk about this all day.
20:05

20:06
Don't get me started.

21:02
Wait, someone say I love Gene.

22:13

22:16
I'd be even more angry after that.
22:18
Yeah, bro, go ahead.
22:20
No, I say,
22:21
real talk to road rage though.
22:23
I feel like now I've,
22:24
I've, I've calmed down because I'm just afraid one day someone
22:26
pull out a gun on me.
22:28
Same bro, is it worth it?
22:29
I honestly like. Let's go.
22:33
What with the gun?
22:34

22:35
Let's go. Let go.
22:38
I try speeding in road rage is something else.
22:44
You're a man, bro.
22:46
Like in this time it's just people are so mad.
22:49
They're so mad. There's so many angry people,
22:51
angry, you know,
22:53
something new performative men.
22:57
Have you heard of them dude.
22:59
I I I know some,
23:01
but like what is it?
23:02
I've heard it on TikTok.
23:03
Well, we have a local performative man and he's in the
23:07
building and since we have an extra spot,
23:10
I just thought we would invite our producer Liam to join us
23:15
OK guys, we've got a new segment called Tik Talk
23:19
Get it? Where we break down hyper online topics and
23:22
basically what everyone's talking about on TikTok.
23:26
So today's topic, what is it,
23:28
Daniela? Performative males and their look alike competition.
23:33
Let me break it down for you guys and I'm the one
23:36
I mean I can I can I feel like you would best
23:39
know how to, yeah.
23:42
we have our in-house yes,
23:44
Jenny, you guys are aware of this.
23:45
You've seen this on Instagram,
23:47
TikTok, all of that basically it's guys.
23:50
I think there's a piece of me there,
23:52
but I'm not yeah.
23:57
Can you hear me?
23:59
Is that better? Yeah,
24:00
when honestly, when I first saw this pop up on,
24:03
a little diagram,
24:05
is that what it's called,
24:07
I'm like,
24:07
oh, that's Liam because it had,
24:09
it had a toe,
24:10
it had glasses and it had like a little like coffee.
24:12
I'm like that's Liam 1000%.
24:14
When he walks in 100% with his Alfred's and wired headphones,
24:21
but that's basically the guy sips matcha,
24:24
listens to Clara, has a boba,
24:27
as you can see in this picture,
24:28
tote bag, and I do kind of.
24:32
Covered. I, I am a little bit there,
24:35
but the question is,
24:37
are these people act like authentically themselves or are they performing to
24:44
attract or manipulate a type of woman?
24:46
What do you think,
24:46
Daniela?. I feel like it became trendy and so
24:55
when a trend is a trend it fades and for some people
24:58
it's not really who they really are so yes I do think
25:02
that some guys dress and like act this way purely to attract
25:06
other women or other people and that's where we get into dangerous
25:11
territory yeah yeah I agree the next slide shows that there
25:16
is like. Guys have been having fun with this so the
25:19
performative males have even started their own performative male contests across the
25:25
world so you're seeing all these fellas reading and I think that's
25:31
even a woman. Girls look like people from Silver Lake.
25:36
That's exactly right. I would say Silver Lake was the
25:39
epicenter to where performative males bloomed and two performative males may joined
25:45
together to create the ultimate performative male and I don't know what
25:48
it was. But something happened in Silver Lake where now it's
25:51
it's in it's reached Australia worldwide that like Brooklyn.
25:58
Exactly. So there's some good comments so far.
26:00
Cavino's like, I think it's fashion and the joke is they're
26:03
all attention seekers. I think so.
26:06
There's a chunk of that.
26:07
It's very pick me,
26:08
pick me, and I think it's guys who aren't confident in
26:10
their ability to be themselves instead always seeking acceptance from whoever.
26:15
That's that's deep. Now here's the issue I think there's probably
26:20
people who aren't able to authentically represent and present themselves.
26:27
You know, like,
26:28
let's talk about Silver Lake.
26:29
There's probably chunks of dudes from Missouri,
26:32
Idaho, Mexico, wherever,
26:35
and they don't feel like the person they are from their hometown
26:39
They move somewhere else and they wanna fit in.
26:43
What what are they able to do dress like a performative male
26:46
follow the trend and they're just not able to authentically be
26:50
themselves kind of sad,
26:52
you know, yeah,
26:54
I mean the the thing with this whole thing is like
26:57
It's again it's performative.
26:58
They're in it for the wrong reasons,
26:59
at least some of them are.
27:01
Again, they're in there for some.
27:03
But here's my question.
27:04
What's the brand safe way to say it.
27:06
Here they're in it for some.
27:07
Now here's the question.
27:13
If we go on everyone's social media,
27:16
how do you think that accurately represents yourself,
27:19
or are you performing a little bit?
27:21
You're performing a little bit,
27:22
obviously,, yeah.
27:26
So they're just doing that in real life.
27:29
They're putting on a little bit of a performance at a coffee
27:31
shop. Yeah. No man wakes up and chooses to wear
27:36
a tote bag without trying to fit in.
27:39
Listen, that was,
27:39
that was a Trader Joe's tote bag.
27:39
That's what I'm saying lift it up,
27:48
please. No, but like what's in your bag,
27:50
King? What's in your bag,
27:52
Liam? And he mind you guys,
27:55
this is what he normally has.
27:56
This is we're not not not a this is a performance or
28:01
is it? Or is it?
28:03
I have a book.
28:05
It's a great story,
28:06
huh? No, no,
28:08
no, it's it's from a French female author.
28:11
Female, those are key words in the performative male dictionary.
28:18
Next. What performative it is exactly,
28:21
I have my wired headphones just because,
28:24
because the sound quality is better.
28:26
And you know what the other ones give you,
28:28
they say that it could give you some sort of cancer
28:31
supposedly according to my mom.
28:32
Yeah, I have a note from my girlfriend.
28:34
She lives she leaves a little love note in my what's she
28:39
write?, there's no way in hell I'm sharing that
28:42
and he's not performative because he has a girlfriend.
28:44
Why would he need to be?
28:45
You can still be performative and have a girlfriend.
28:48
I mean like again.
28:50
I love my wife,
28:51
but there's times where like you definitely like kind of amp it
28:53
up like, hey,
28:55
like bro, I,
28:55
I know what you're going through right now.
28:56
Like I wanna help you like you try to again put on
29:00
like be happier for them or be more like upset for them
29:03
and like like I don't know if that's if I'm even like
29:06
Get myself into a hole right now,
29:08
but like if you can have a fucking a wife or a
29:11
girlfriend and still be performative,
29:14
I think I can't like think of freaking no that he's being
29:16
performative like oh I care about women this and that,
29:19
but when I go down with another girl,
29:21
hmm. Yeah, I don't know and I'm gonna take it
29:25
to the extreme. I'd rather my man have a tote bag
29:28
than an assault rifle in his left hand,
29:30
you know what I mean?
29:31
like. That's that this is,
29:33
this is my thing that I wanna chat about.
29:36
So we're making fun of performing mails.
29:38
I think it's funny.
29:39
I think they should be made fun of a little bit,
29:41
you know. I,
29:42
I truly believe that a lot of them can be fuck boys
29:45
masking as progressive dudes,
29:48
but. I think a good chunk of them are guys with
29:51
the right intentions and in 2025 I'd rather have someone being sensitive
29:59
soft boy, you know,
30:01
that aesthetic versus Latino for Trump,
30:05
Republican misogynist because it's a,
30:08
it's, you know,
30:09
that's the that's the world right now so yeah I think I
30:15
think we can now we've aimed it at performing males.
30:19
We can now aim at a different direction too.
30:22
Why do we have to aim anything?
30:24
Because someone said here the rifle versus toast is where we are
30:27
in the world and it's sad.
30:28
It's like yeah dude,
30:29
but hey, someone said Leon seems authentic,
30:33
so someone says that can someone do reading on all of us
30:36
Whoever said that?
30:37
Yeah, but guys,
30:38
the thing that's not authentic,
30:39
these glasses. What they're fake.
30:42
You're lying. They're blue light.
30:44
They're blue light. Oh yeah.
30:46
Yeah, they helped me with my headaches.
30:49
you're lying.
30:51
Yeah, those aren't my glasses.
30:52
I thought you actually needed him.
30:53
So you walk in in the morning.
30:56
I'm gonna leave with them.
30:57
I'm gonna leave you guys with that.
30:58
I'm gonna take my tote bag.
31:00
This is how they get you.
31:02
This is the art of the performative male ladies,
31:06
I wanna hold your hand.
31:08
I wanna say that we will get through this rifles and tote
31:11
bags aside, eventually.
31:14
The the right one will so deceived.
31:17
I feel so deceived.
31:18
I tried to show him a video yesterday and he put on
31:21
his glasses. This is crazy.
31:27
So I said, and he's performative.
31:31
now I don't know.
31:32
Mind blowing. It's like that's,
31:33
that's the game I guess.
31:35
But I think what you,
31:36
what you said is a nail on the head though.
31:38
It's just like hit the nail on the head.
31:39
It's just like I'd rather have him be performative like this and
31:43
You know, have the moments where they do care for
31:45
my feelings versus freaking go cuckoo and do some crazy shit.
31:50
Yes, I agree.
31:51
Chrissy has some great points and and I sorry,
31:55
she's just she's coming in hot and I've I've had these thoughts
31:59
I've had these thoughts all before and I think they're unifying because
32:03
that really is where we are in the state of 2025 as
32:07
a Latina. Yep,
32:10
I would have been seduced.
32:11
So yeah, Liam has that pull,
32:14
guys against ape depa,
32:17
but just so you know it's performative,
32:19
you know,
32:20
anyways, alright,,
32:22
this next story is,
32:25
a little,
32:25
a little shit, but see it's kind of even back to
32:27
the same point of like performative.
32:29
It's like, do you guys actually care about.
32:31
What your ladies care about,
32:33
what the world cares about,
32:34
you know, because this lady,
32:36
this pendeja respectfully, I mean,
32:39
I don't know, she is a pendeja.
32:40
Look, so Kim Davis is back in the news.
32:42
So I don't know if you remember,
32:43
but she's a former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses
32:47
to gay couples when it was legal,
32:49
right? So now she's asking the Supreme Court to overturn the
32:52
2015 decision to legalize same-sex marriage.
32:55
And so she's arguing that the,
32:57
how do you pronounce this word?
32:59
Obergefell ruling, did I say that right?
33:02
Yeah. Oh my God,
33:02
my ESL is paying off.
33:03
OK, the Obergefell ruling was egregiously wrong,
33:06
claiming her religious beliefs should have protected her actions,
33:09
right? Her move falls in line with the broader conservative push
33:12
to get the court to revisit civil rights precedents.
33:15
So,, again,
33:17
we already know under this current administration that they are really pushing
33:23
to overturn a lot of things,
33:25
right? Like the progress is just kind of scaling back.
33:27
It's like, yo,
33:27
what's going on? Yeah,
33:30
yeah, yeah no,
33:31
like, wait, do we really need that?
33:32
It's like, yeah,
33:33
why not? It's like,
33:34
but this lady is again now like,
33:37
hey, so just,
33:37
I wanna raise my hand.
33:38
We should definitely revisit this.
33:39
It's like we don't have to.
33:41
And people are saying it's a long shot since lower courts already
33:43
ruled the First Amendment doesn't hold,
33:45
shield her from liability.
33:47
But again, like the Supreme Court still has the option to
33:51
decide if they'll even hear this case or if they don't,
33:54
right, when it's gonna start next year in 2026.
33:57
Yeah, exactly. So it's like,
34:00
but Why first of all,
34:03
it has a lot of like big like caveats so even if
34:06
Obergail Obergefell were overturned,
34:09
existing marriages will remain legal under the 2022 Respect for Marriage
34:13
Act. So it's all the same sex marriages so they would
34:17
still the ones that already happened they would still be.
34:20
They're OK. But then people in the future I want,
34:25
I mean I don't see what's the fucking the the even bigger
34:29
danger here whether you,
34:31
which by the way it's lame if you're against gay marriage in
34:35
2025 by I get it.
34:38
everyone has different opinions but come on,
34:39
let's be real. Not only is would this affect gay marriage
34:44
right? This would the Supreme Court argument would go.
34:47
Back into pri prior arguments going to such things as interracial marriage
34:53
which could be overturned because it's going to pull out all these
34:57
these these cases for for the you know argument of marriage
35:03
and whatever has been in the courts in that topic so it's
35:06
a very scary time and and I don't know it just seems
35:09
that we're going back we're going back and we're going back and
35:11
why are we going back when when there was nothing wrong about
35:14
it. Yeah I know it did and within our community too
35:18
let's be real.
35:19
Yeah, it's like it,
35:21
it, how does it affect you like if it's like it's
35:25
like you get married with whoever you want and then it's like
35:28
let people, let people live their life,
35:32
yeah, yeah, you know how,
35:36
how is someone's marriage.
35:39
Because they're the same gender affecting you and making you depressed or
35:42
making you anxious or changing the way your children are behaving at
35:46
school, that's on you,
35:48
mama that's on you as a mother,
35:51
you know that's not on anyone else so I,
35:53
I, I know that this is very opinion based but the
35:56
fact that this is being brought to the Supreme Court in
36:00
2025 once it has been legalized is so.
36:05
Disheartening. Yeah, in fact it's even a thought,
36:07
it's like, yo,
36:08
this could, like,
36:09
what's your amount? It's like,
36:10
no, it's fine like leave it as is.
36:12
I don't get and it's crazy because Camino said here it sounds
36:15
ridiculous, but that's what we said about Roe versus Wade,
36:17
and they ended up turning overturning that decision as well.
36:19
It's true, so it's just like the little chatter already starting
36:23
up is not good and then again.
36:26
The way with the Trumpies are,
36:28
it's like, yeah,
36:29
and again like you said it's like they're gonna keep like going
36:31
back like well what else can we,
36:32
you know, go back to the old ways it's like I
36:35
know this isn't quite a story,
36:37
but I don't know if you heard about the new media partner
36:40
the official government media partner it's called Prager you if.
36:44
I think everyone here is familiar with PBS and how it was
36:47
officially defunded by the US government.
36:49
Well, PragerU has come in,
36:51
and Prager U, the type of narratives that they tell through
36:54
their media and content,
36:55
literally says slavery was a compromise and paints it to be nothing
36:59
bad. Christopher Columbus wasn't bad and didn't.
37:05
You know, I think there's mixed opinions everywhere about that and
37:08
then the other big point,
37:11
that was terrifying,
37:12
what was it slavery.
37:14
Oh, racism, racism is sensitivity.
37:18
So these are, that's,
37:19
that's, I know that's a separate conversation all to say 2025
37:26
Just going back to 1960,
37:29
1950, 1970 America slowly and slowly it feels really difficult because
37:34
I think we all feel out of control right now but I
37:36
think what's important is that we keep it in our head,
37:40
actively remember or see this happening because there is going to be
37:43
a time where wherever you are in the country you will get
37:46
to go vote again as long as we are in a democracy
37:50
There will be elections and it's important to not forget all
37:53
of this happening when you go when you use your right to
37:55
vote. Sorry, not precheck.
37:59
Performative male Liam Santa Cruz actually brought up a good point in
38:01
the comments that all this BS was in 2025.
38:06
Again, he already alluded to this.
38:07
He said he didn't exist.
38:09
He said, I haven't heard of da da da da.
38:10
This is all, this was all in there.
38:12
A lot of people love to say.
38:15
You know Trump first presidency talked a lot,
38:19
you know, didn't do a lot.
38:21
He laid it out crystal clear before this election that he was
38:25
going to do a lot in Project 2025.
38:28
It was pretty obvious and it was a thick document.
38:30
I will admit I never read through it all,
38:32
but the bullet points.
38:33
Of all the action,
38:35
the intention, the overall shift if he were to become president
38:39
was very much laid out so it's really important to even observe
38:43
politicians right now. I know there's a big one rising to
38:47
fame, not just in California on TikTok Avenue some but.
38:52
These politicians, like there are elections,
38:55
there's a 2026 election and there's a 2028 election.
38:58
They're about to start getting nasty or not nasty but like going
39:02
the extra mile and it's people like us will ultimately face
39:07
the consequences. Yeah this is true we're already seeing it right
39:10
now. Yep, so I mean again,
39:13
yeah, I will say to you someone said Danielle's on fire
39:15
so. Sorry,
39:18
I'm very passionate. No,
39:20
it's good. I mean,
39:21
because like, so again we have to vote because then oh
39:24
well you didn't know like or people like I voted for Trump
39:26
but not like that,
39:27
not for that reason.
39:28
It's like, Mama,
39:29
you voted for Trump and now it's like come on it's like
39:32
I can't really, I don't know.
39:34
And I think it was Chrissy who said this is why education
39:36
is so important and I agree and I will be honest
39:40
I didn't graduate college,
39:42
but I have kind of very intentionally.
39:46
educated for this matter because bad people and bad politicians do depend
39:52
on miseducation or the lack of to prey on those who are
39:56
most vulnerable and guide them into their leadership and so that's
40:01
why it's up to us to keep talking about it it gets
40:04
annoying it's sad it's numbing it's disheartening it feels like they're hopeless
40:09
I think I felt that a lot this summer but
40:12
the power of conversation and.
40:15
Just trying to keep holding those is is is very important it
40:21
doesn't always have to be a fight even though these things are
40:23
very you know close to heart for many.
40:26
Discussions are healthy. The,
40:29
the, the woman that said you were on fire,
40:31
she was the mayor of Lynnwood.
40:33
Yo, that's OK,
40:38
and then Chrissy, that's awesome.
40:39
This is a very good point,
40:40
Daniela, for everyone.
40:41
Education isn't just formal.
40:43
Seeking knowledge, being curious,
40:44
that's education. Say make do the effort if you really care
40:48
about it, you know,
40:49
and you do so,
40:52
I know it'd be a weird shift,
40:53
but speaking of demons and just evil,
40:58
love fufu 2 dropped yeah.
41:02
So we have a,
41:05
we have a possessed a boo boo that's running around the office
41:07
and it's been,,
41:08
terrorizing our staff here,
41:10
so hopefully we get it figured out soon because we
41:12
are definitely working with,
41:13
you know, by looking over our shoulder because it's scary up
41:17
in here. The energy,
41:18
the aura is just very down.
41:20
I would say we get reactions afterwards I think we have
41:26
to stay for the reactions.
41:27
Yes. Oh yeah,
41:27
so we're gonna put it on for you.
41:28
We're gonna, we're gonna premiere,
41:30
not even premiere premiered yesterday.
41:31
We're gonna have it on for you,
41:32
a screening of Aufu 2 with you guys,
41:35
the audience on Me Too Daily Live,
41:37
so,. You know,
41:39
let us know what you think in the comments and,
41:41
stay tuned for part three because we didn't have enough
41:42
budget. I know the numbers so far aren't what the box
41:45
office expected, but we did shoot ahead of time and
41:49
I think you know we're gonna end it on with a bang
41:52
Yeah, so all we ask you guys is to please
41:54
you know, spread the word,
41:56
repost hit that little new repost button,
41:59
that way,
42:00
you know, more people have eyes on it because honestly like
42:03
we're a little low on on ticket sales and.
42:07
And it would be really nice to make our money back.
42:10
I heard it. I,
42:11
I don't know. They,
42:13
I spoke up.
42:14
I was silenced by the team behind Leufu,
42:17
but I still support it.
42:20
I spoke out and I faced the consequences,
42:22
but I did hear that there was potentially a third one in
42:25
the work, so,
42:26
I don't know why don't we watch it?
42:29
Let's watch. Oh gosh.
42:58
Silly Oh I Oh Lee.
43:56
Oh. Oh my God.
44:08
The Aventura man. and that was the last time he was
44:14
seen at the Me Too offices,
44:18

44:19

44:28
Yo, so I'm having a good time,
44:29
bro. I was being molested by a Lafufu.
44:33
I don't know how,
44:34
why he got down there.
44:35
I really wanna interview you all as the guest of Lau,
44:39
and I have questions about that one scene.
44:43
Whose idea here, let's have a little mini junket.
44:46
Whose idea is just to have it chilling in your pants?
44:48
Mine, because, well,
44:51
like, no, but not like that freaking director's choice over
44:54
here. He's like,
44:54
Hey, how about we just freaking put on a palito and
44:56
I'm like, bro,
44:57
because remember in the Bruce Almighty when the monkey comes out of
45:00
the guy's ass. That,
45:02
that, that scene lives in my head ran free and I'm
45:05
like dude's freaking hilarious.
45:06
It goes back in his ass.
45:07
I was like, Yo,
45:08
what if like the monkey freaking like or the the fufu like
45:12
is like, oh he didn't want because people in the last
45:14
video were like, oh,
45:14
he didn't wipe it in the bathroom.
45:15
It's like, what if the fufu was like,
45:16
hey stinky boy I was like and then it's like,
45:17
you know, that that was my I have a question about
45:24
The fufu and how it came like where is is the
45:28
Lefufu from the performative male because that's often an accessory.
45:31
Is this someone from the cast who 00 the director has joined
45:35
the screening. Oh,
45:36
this is, this is great and maybe I could ask him
45:38
the comments made me so happy.
45:40
Oh, so it's Osiel cholo from the movie from Almighty.
45:46
Oh man. Well,
45:48
it was, it was amazing.
45:50
It was too bad that.
45:52
You know we had creative differences and you weren't able to make
45:54
it for production for the Foo Foo too.
45:59
You did have a fantastic scene in the first one.
46:02
Yeah, you know,
46:03
some of us have the face have to face the consequences of
46:06
getting something good,,
46:08
you know, set and ready,
46:09
but I, it's,
46:09
it's, it's inspiring to see you all,
46:12
shine so brightly,
46:14
and I'm,
46:15
I'm really, I'm cheering so loudly from the front row,
46:20
but,,
46:20
I, I am bummed.
46:21
I, I watched it.
46:22

46:53
