Hey guys, so our next guest,
00:01
she's been going viral on TikTok and this video we're gonna talk
00:04
about first, it hit the nail on the head for me
00:08
When Latinos have babies and don't give their children Hispanic names,
00:11
it makes me laugh because you know you're wrong as hell for
00:14
giving your children names that the rest of your family cannot pronounce
00:17
You name your kids whatever the hell you want,
00:19
but don't be mad when little Cameron starts being called Camaron by
00:24
his abuela. I just had a kid.
00:26
I was conflicted on what to name her and so I feel
00:29
like this kind of hits,
00:31
the thoughts that I had.
00:32
But anyways, we have Galilea joining us all the way from
00:35
Germany,, so real life girl on TikTok.
00:38
Welcome to the show.
00:43
Thanks for having me.
00:44
Of course you've been killing it on TikTok.
00:46
You have a lot of hot takes,
00:47
and people they either love it or they hate it,
00:49
but people are, are talking.
00:51
I was talking about the video that you had that went viral
00:53
where you talk about,
00:54
you know, Latinos and,
00:56
naming their kids non-Latino names.
00:58
Yeah, why do you think some Latino parents choose more like
01:02
Americanized. Names for their kids.
01:05
I feel like there's a couple of reasons.
01:06
A big one that I saw is a lot of parents try
01:09
to fight discrimination. Like they don't want their kid if they
01:13
have like a super Hispanic name to maybe miss out on job
01:16
offers and stuff. And I do understand that,
01:19
but then at the same time it's like,
01:20
OK, if the first name doesn't give it away,
01:22
let's say you name your kid Wilson,
01:24
but then it's like Wilson.
01:25
Medina Gonzalez. It's like,
01:27
well, we still kind of know that they're Latino.
01:31
I think another big reason is just like the want and need
01:35
I feel like everyone has a cousin,
01:37
Maria Jose. everyone has had that moment with their parent is
01:46
like maybe maybe if you have like a more unique or like
01:50
anglicized name that doesn't happen as often,
01:52
but I'm curious now on your because my so we need my
01:55
daughter Isabella. Is that still OK or is that too basic
01:57
too crazy? Isabella and then Perez.
02:00
I'm like yeah I feel like it's it's a classic.
02:04
Izzy Izzy, Isabella.
02:06
I don't. Bella well,
02:12
Bella's a little, yeah,
02:12
I honestly though, that's what's funny too,
02:14
right? Like if you give them a name and then you
02:16
already know the Latino parents are gonna make fun of the name
02:22
she, her name is Cynthia,
02:23
and they would call her Sindientes like the,
02:25
the stuff that they come up with,
02:27
right? Like I always see was it Savannah,
02:32
I'm like come on y'all,
02:34
but, what's it called?
02:35
We checked some of the comments obviously because we were nosy.
02:37
The comment section is even sometimes more wild than actual video.
02:40
So this first one is from Chelas.
02:43
screening. My BF wants to name our future kid Logan.
02:46
I literally looked at him and said,
02:48
think of how your grandma would say that.
02:50
So it's kind of like your,
02:50
your point, like Logan,
02:52
Logan's not too bad though.
02:54
I feel like a lot of the times though,
02:55
like it's never just.
02:59
That's true. That's true.
03:00
And then there's this other one.
03:02
Imagine meeting a three year old named Faustolo.
03:05
Laughing. It's like Gary.
03:07
It's like a baby named Gary kind of vibe.
03:10
I like it. I feel like that baby is an old
03:13
soul. That baby is wise beyond their years.
03:15
And then we have Lucy.
03:17
Nah, name your kids whatever you want.
03:20
not your parents or families,
03:22
so name them whatever you want.
03:23
But Then someone named Ayo,
03:25
which I think is probably like a burner accounts,
03:27
but nah, I love my parents.
03:30
so do I. What's your point?
03:33
Whenever you post like a video,
03:34
there's always like a reaction and you don't know if that reactions
03:39
And like you can just say one thing,
03:41
but someone takes it a different way and can get really mad
03:43
Like I saw so many comments that were like,
03:45
Well, you don't get to have an opinion because you don't
03:47
have any. And it's like,
03:49
thank God, thank God I don't have kids.
03:51
I want kids right now.
03:53
But switching gears, you have another video that also got again
03:58
Men have gotten so comfortable calling women tortas like their mothers and
04:01
sisters aren't shaped the same.
04:03
And since we're making unnecessary comments on other people's bodies,
04:07
a lot of y'all have receding hairlines and your beards don't connect
04:10
It's giving peons in.
04:12
Rico. What, what was going through your mind when you
04:15
made this video? I just feel like men get too comfortable
04:18
commenting on women's bodies,
04:20
which is like crazy because a lot of the time people only
04:22
have that energy in real life.
04:24
Like a lot of the time I feel like these men that
04:27
feel so confident online,
04:29
calling women all of these names are the same men that stand
04:32
at the wall at parties,
04:34
never dancing, never talking.
04:36
And then the next morning text you like,
04:38
I wanted to say hi last night,
04:42
Yeah. I think a lot of things is like saying one
04:46
I love you, you know,
04:47
you're the world but like like in your video,
04:49
keep the energy for all like women.
04:50
It's just. And like,
04:52
why, why only advocate for women that you're attracted to?
04:55
Exactly, like, I don't know.
04:58
Well, look, I also know you're calling from Europe right
04:59
now. How does it feel to like see our show over
05:04
It's always so funny because I'm one of the few Americans that
05:08
I know here. So all of the non-Americans,
05:10
whenever like something crazy happens in the US,
05:15
Is it true that you guys can't afford eggs?
05:18
I can't believe that you and it's just like every time I'm
05:21
just like Yeah. So are you gonna wait it out in
05:26
or are you thinking of coming back with this whole Trump,
05:28
you know, I'm here because of school.
05:30
I'm getting my master's out here,
05:31
so the program is minimum 2 years,
05:34
so who knows? And then,
05:36
of course, Germany has its own show as well too.
05:40
Like people are very anti-immigrant here as well.
05:43
We can't catch a break anywhere.
05:44
It does have its history.
05:46
well, that's what I'm saying,
05:47
it does have its history.
05:50
Everywhere has its problems,
05:53
But anyways, we can keep yapping forever,
05:55
but we'll let you go.
05:57
plug your socials so people can follow you.
05:58
OK,, you mentioned my TikTok.
