00:08
I'm Jenny and I'm Alejandro.
00:10
And go, yes.
00:14
Anyways now that that's out of the way,
00:16
we're gonna get right into the news,
00:18
right? But oh,
00:18
wait, wait, wait one more thing.
00:19
Oh Yeah, let me tell.
00:20
So today we're brought to you by the Mitu newsletter.
00:24
So sign up at,
00:25
we are meu.com to stay up to date on me news events
00:29
and more. And now let's get to the news.
00:33
The Miami Heat honored Dwyane Wade by unveiling a statue of him
00:36
outside the Casalla Center in Miami,
00:38
seeing his legacy with the team and making him the first heat
00:41
player with a statue outside the arena.
00:43
Imagine that feeling, the honor,
00:46
the excitement and the curtain comes down and you realize the statue
00:50
looks nothing like you.
00:53
This is why we should always fund the arts.
00:58
Huh? You got crazy eyes.
01:01
Yeah, I don't know.
01:04
He looks angry. That's not Dwyane Wade but I don't know
01:06
who that is. Like that's me brother when I stub my
01:09
pinky toe. That's me every morning that I wake up.
01:15
That's the baby at 3 a.m. It's me when Charlie wants to
01:19
go pee in the middle of the night like I get like
01:23
this. I mean,
01:23
I know he's screaming like pumped up like I don't know who
01:25
that is. I've,
01:27
you know, I'm not a Miami Heat fan but when you
01:30
ask me to do something,
01:32
oh my God. Anyway,
01:35
we can go ahead.
01:37
But since the reveal,
01:39
Wade has addressed the criticism,
01:40
he said everyone has an opinion.
01:43
Use y'all opinions. Please talk more about us,
01:45
talk more about the statue,
01:47
come out and see it,
01:48
take some photos, send some memes like we just did.
01:51
We don't care. It was a special moment for my family
01:53
and I, so regardless if you like it or not,
01:56
he's encouraging us to come and see it and like,
01:58
you know, it's pretty cool like,
01:59
hey man, you know just YOLO,
02:02
it is what it is.
02:03
Oh dang. So he's for it sounds like it.
02:05
But really though like what's up with these horrible statues they need
02:10
I mean, you remember the Cristiano Ronaldo one?
02:13
Oh my God. Yes,
02:15
that goes around yo,
02:18
why they got to do the bust of Cristiano?
02:24
That one went triple platinum on social media.
02:27
It's legit got cooked.
02:29
That pun intended because it does look like he got cooked.
02:33
But you know what,
02:34
regardless they have statues and we don't.
02:38
So when people say,
02:39
hey, did you see the statue?
02:40
Like that's so bad,
02:41
I'm like they have a statue and we don't.
02:43
So who am I to say anything?
02:46
Well, I'd rather not have a statue of going look like
02:48
that. That's true.
02:50
Ballot boxes in Portland,
02:51
Oregon and nearby Vancouver Washington were set ablaze on Monday morning in
02:55
incidents, authorities believe are connected just days before election day.
02:58
Both locations saw an identical Volvo at the scene and Portland police
03:03
noted that the use of an incendiary v smeared what was used
03:08
in Vancouver. Three ballot boxes were damaged in Portland while local
03:11
officials indicated that potentially hundreds were affected in Vancouver treating the incident
03:16
as targeted and intentional attacks.
03:19
Crazy brothers, hundreds especially since election day is coming up like
03:24
it's around the corner like I don't think it's crazy to say
03:27
that this is a direct attack on democracy.
03:30
No. Yeah, for sure.
03:31
I was seeing them sending mine in too.
03:32
I didn't want to go because,
03:34
but, but then what happens to their votes?
03:36
Do they get to redo them or are they lost?
03:39
Well, I mean,
03:40
the counties that were affected are reaching out to those who
03:44
might have been affected.
03:46
But if anyone wants to confirm their ballots,
03:48
they can contact their local election offices.
03:51
Yeah. So like if you feel like,
03:54
you know, you you could have been impacted by this,
03:57
like reach out to them but thank God nobody got hurt.
04:00
Yeah, but seriously like who's out here blowing up ballot boxes
04:05
in a Volvo on a Monday?
04:07
That's what I want to know one of the cows actually decide
04:10
to hire 24 hour security and others are beefing up patrols in
04:13
the area until the election is over.
04:15
I mean, I think that's what they're gonna have to do
04:17
because this election is so intense.
04:20
Honestly, I feel like this election has been the most intense
04:24
yet. And you know what,
04:25
I feel bad for the Volvo drivers because now they're gonna be
04:27
driving by ballot boxes like,
04:29
hey, watch them.
04:30
It's, it's a soccer mom,
04:31
you know, like I'm innocent but,
04:33
and I don't know why.
04:34
Like I, I feel like it could have been a bab
04:36
Yeah, I mean,
04:40
someone that gets a tan car,
04:41
that's a little stuff like who gets a tan car nowadays.
04:45
That was the last one left on a lot.
04:46
Like, yeah, just like I just thought it sucks,
04:49
you know, Tan Volvo.
04:51
All right. Well,
04:51
we'll see what more reports come out because then I'm curious coon
04:55
it is Halloween week and I am so excited to get spooky
05:00
Me too. I love this time of year.
05:02
It's like my favorite and also shout out to home goods.
05:06
Oh my God. I love home goods.
05:08
Me too because literally I am officially in the Halloween spirit.
05:14
I mean, look at this.
05:15

05:38

05:40
What are you going to be?
05:41
You know what I'm undecided right now.
05:43
Something that matches my nails.
05:46
but what I am positive on is I'm dressing my
05:50
dog as Dora the Explorer.
05:54
Dora is going to be Dora the Explorer.
05:55
Oh my God. It's her first Halloween with me and I
05:59
just have to rip the band aid off.
06:00
I have to do it.
06:01
At least you know what I mean?
06:04
She has the bob,
06:05
she has the backpack and we're working on the outfit right now
06:09
But, I'll send you a picture.
06:11
What about you? He's gonna be the same thing.
06:14
He was last year,
06:14
I think. What was that?
06:16
He was an EL worker.
06:19
Yeah, he has his little work shirt.
06:23
I love that and he's very excited that El is coming to
06:25
the US. I'll tell you that right now.
06:27
But yeah, I love seeing pets dressed up.
06:30
I love it and people are so creative.
06:32
They're so creative. Seriously.
06:34
And I know you're not the only one who loves seeing pets
06:37
in costume because we actually asked our audience to send us pictures
06:43
of their pets in costume because we,
06:47
we want to get back.
06:48
We wanna, well,
06:49
first of all, we really just wanted to see cute dogs
06:51
in cost. This is true.
06:52
It was just an excuse but Home Goods is actually giving the
06:56
winner of our competition because this is officially a competition.
06:59
It's a competition like there's going to be paw.
07:02
Paws are being thrown.
07:03
Ok. Treats are being fought for because a $125 home Gus
07:09
gift card is on the line right now and we get to
07:12
decide the winner. Let's see.
07:14
Oh, Bruno, what's,
07:17

07:22
That's smart. What a cute,
07:25
oh my God. I love that.
07:30
He's looking super majestic.
07:32
Look at that profile.
07:34
He's the guy from Shrek,
07:35

07:37
puss and boots. First of all,
07:39
mango, I love his name.
07:40
I want to name something Mango and he's a kitty.
07:44
He's giving the side eye.
07:45
He knows how to pose.
07:46
He's perfect. Or Bella Bella.
07:54
I don't know, little bumble bee.
08:00
And what do, what the heck is this a home goods
08:05
employee? They understood the assignment.
08:10
They said home goods gift cards,
08:12

08:14
Hey, they played dirty.
08:16
They knew they knew,
08:18

08:19
oh my God, like this dude,
08:21
this, this competition is getting rough.
08:23
It's getting, oh,
08:34
that's actually a really cute name for a dog.
08:36
Adorable. You know,
08:37
I actually dressed my first dog Lola as Chiquita Banana every Halloween
08:42
until she passed. So that makes me super nostalgic.
08:46
Follow me. Follow me.
08:50
So sweet. The name.
08:51
Can we talk about the range?
08:54
The range? We got a little di di slash slash in
08:59
the middle. We've got,
09:00
oh yeah. Yo,
09:02
yo, baby Yoda.
09:04
And then Taco, which I think is perfect for Bartholomew.
09:08
They said costume contest.
09:10
I got a, no,
09:12
no, no, I know.
09:14
Oh my gosh. I'm in the mood to watch it now
09:24
No, no.
09:24
On my love. So we got Shrek,
09:31
we got Shrek in the building and I love Leah,
09:36
that a sunflower. It's the cutest little sunflower I've ever seen
09:40
Oh my God.
09:41
And he played the wi I'm kind of scared of wings.
09:44
Like what if he cast a spell on?
09:47
He's got his little paws on the little triangle thing.
09:51
Maple and Floyd. Oh my God.
09:53
Look at them. Wow.
09:56
Ok. Cute. That's such a cute couple costume.
10:00
I hope they're not like related because that would be awkward.
10:03
But you know, dogs,
10:05
you know. Oh,
10:06
shoot. Oh, we got bad bunny.
10:09
Baby. Diego is dressed as bad bunny,
10:13
the glasses. I'm amazed right now.
10:15
He is in character.
10:17
This might not just be Diego.
10:18
This might be bad bunny as a dog or bad doggie dog
10:22
I like it.
10:22
Creative, great execution.
10:25
Is that a rap that brings us to our final judgment.
10:30
There were so many cute dogs,
10:31
there were so many dogs.
10:34
There is someone that did like I just keep thinking about.
10:38
Honestly, me too and I feel like when I saw that
10:42
animal, it was very like I saw the character like I
10:47
saw the character. I'm like,
10:48
wow, that's literally the live action version.
10:52
The version literally. And I feel like that's the beauty of
10:57
Halloween. I want to see this character in life.
10:59
I have a feeling we're on the same page.
11:03
We can say throw it out there,
11:04
we say the costumes and we'll say the costume on the kind
11:07
of 3123. It's the side eye for me,
11:13

11:17

I feel at home when I'm in home goods.
11:45
If you haven't heard Kaiser Permanente,
11:47
mental health workers are currently on strike in Socal.
11:51
Kaiser. Mental health workers are now entering their ninth day on
11:55
strike. This tiktok actually went viral in solidarity with her therapist
12:00
Roxanna. This message is for my therapist who's striking with
12:03
Kaiser right now. Roxana.
12:06
I love you. You're my girl.
12:09
They wanted me to see another therapist temporarily.
12:12
I said, absolutely fucking not.
12:14
I'm going to wait as long as,
12:15
as long as I have to for Roxana,
12:18
Roxana, my ex hit me up this week.
12:24
I'm crashing the fuck out OK,
12:28
but I'm waiting for you.
12:29
I want you to get your bag.
12:31
Please help me welcome Lulu.
12:35
Yeah. Thank you so much for having me.
12:38
I really appreciate it.
12:40
Thank you so much for joining us Lulu.
12:42
Thank you. Thank you.
12:43
So I, so we saw the Tik Tok and I was
12:46
like, damn, like she is loyal,
12:49
like that is a loyal girl.
12:51
What inspired you to create this video in solidarity with your
12:55
therapist. Of course.
12:56
Absolutely. So I remember I got a text I think like
13:00
two weeks ago and it said it was from Kaiser and it
13:03
said, oh, you know,
13:06
we got noticed that therapists are going to be striking but you
13:09
haven't been affected now.
13:11
And I remember I was like,
13:12
oh, I haven't had a therapy appointment since last month and
13:15
I was like, holding on by a thread already because I
13:17
had so much to tell her and I was like,
13:20
ok, it hasn't been affected yet.
13:22
But then my cousin sends me a text and she's like
13:25
hi Lulu, she's like,
13:26
is your therapist on strike?
13:28
She's like, because look at the videos and I was like
13:31
oh my gosh.
13:31
So I went and I looked at the videos and I saw
13:34
all of the comments saying we're not going to see anybody else
13:39
And I was like,
13:39
same, excuse me.
13:41
So Kaiser started blowing me up and started saying like,
13:45
hey, we need to talk to you we're going to reschedule
13:49
you. I said absolutely not.
13:50
And I was like,
13:51
listen, I'm supporting the strike.
13:53
I'm not going to see anybody else because on my little thingy
13:57
it said unassigned and I said,
13:59
no, I built a relationship with Roxana.
14:02
It took me a long time to get comfortable and I was
14:04
like, there's no way.
14:06
So I was like,
14:07
let me show my solidarity and just tell Roxana and in my
14:13
dulu mind, right?
14:14
I was like, there's no way it's going to get to
14:15
her. Like, absolutely not,
14:18
but I was going to do it anyway because at that point
14:22
you know, so yeah,
14:23
that's why I made it.
14:25
I love that. I love loyalty,
14:28
loyalty, loyalty. Like I get you.
14:31
It takes a long time to get there with your therapist.
14:34
Like find one that fits you because it's so hard.
14:38
Like that's so true.
14:40
Lulu, you talked about your ex and the situation briefly
14:47
the ex, he's unimportant,
14:49
right? Sorry. Sorry.
14:52
I hope I didn't lines.
14:54
Has your therapist been super important when dealing with this particular breakup
14:59
Yes. Absolutely.
15:00
So, for a long time after things happened and we weren't
15:06
together anymore. I just,
15:08
I just found myself just blaming myself for everything and she was
15:13
like, but what about what he did?
15:15
And I was like,
15:17
you forget that. Yes.
15:19
Exactly. I think they call it rose colored glasses when you're
15:23
trying to see the X in a better light.
15:28
And you're not looking at the faults as well.
15:30
And she helped me take those glasses off and really acknowledge that
15:34
there's a lot of work that I need to do and maybe
15:36
he needs to do work too.
15:37
So I, I feel the healing that Roxanne has helped you
15:40
done in, in what you've oh my God,
15:42
you can buy a thread.
15:47
You guys, I know that the video went viral.
15:50
I had mentioned to you via email that I actually saw the
15:52
video and it had like 700 likes and I was like,
15:54
this has to blow up,
15:55
this just it has to blow up.
15:57
I reposted it so fast.
15:59
And I went back and looked at the comments.
16:01
Some are really funny and a lot are kind of showing solidarity
16:06
But did any of the comments make you laugh out loud
16:09
or which one stood out to you if you have time?
16:12
Look at the comments section if you haven't already,
16:14
it just gives you so much life.
16:16
And they're funny. Like for example,
16:18
there was one that said like,
16:20
yeah, I might be having am TB but I'm loyal and
16:22
I'm like, yeah,
16:23
absolutely. And then there's another one that says like,
16:28
oh, I'm holding it down for you,
16:29
Flacco, I'm like,
16:30
yeah, not for a man but yes for Roxana,
16:32
you feel me? And then,
16:37
oh and then there was another one that said Roxana inviting you
16:39
for coffee just in case I was like,
16:42
OK, I'll, what do you need?
16:47
I love these conversations.
16:49
You know, because mental health used to be,
16:50
especially within our Latino community.
16:52
I feel like it used to be such a thumb topic.
16:55
And even in the beginning,
16:56
you mentioned your prima was the one who was like,
16:58
hey, you're a therapist,
17:00
like you're comfortable sharing that with your family and stuff.
17:03
And I think conversation like these just keep pushing that narrative away
17:08
No, for sure.
17:10
One thing that I noticed about this new generation rate that I
17:14
really, really appreciate,
17:16
right? Because my mom,
17:18
when I told her that I was going to therapy the first
17:19
time, she was like,
17:20
no nest nest loca.
17:22
And I looked at her and I was like,
17:24
mom, I'm really struggling right now.
17:27
I was like, so if that's what you define as loca
17:30
I said I'm going to do it anyway and it took
17:33
her a while to accept,
17:34
right? And she finally did it and now she's like,
17:37
oh, mental health is so important.
17:39
I'm like, yes.
17:40
And then with my cousins,
17:41
it's so open and honest that I can tell them like,
17:44
hey, I'm seeing a therapist or like you,
17:48
you should see therapy.
17:50
Yeah. So honestly,
17:51
I'm very grateful for this new generation.
17:53
Oh, well, thank you so so much for joining us
17:56
today. It was simply a pleasure to speak with you Lulu
18:00
Thank you Lulu.

18:23
There's also a link in my bio for a gofundme that's organized

18:29
I'm going to be joining them on the picket lines on Friday
18:32
