1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back, me Hanthon. We've covered so much in the

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: past two episodes and it's only been like what four

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: years out of Bad Bunny's life. That's insanity. Yeah, if

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: you remember, he went from grocery bagger to the biggest

5
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: artist on the planet faster than Leo DiCaprio can find

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: a new underaged girlfriend. Oh my god, store that success. However,

7
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: it didn't come easy. It took a lot of hard

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: work and as we've told you, there have been a

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: lot of challenges along the way because with his success

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: came a level of fame and attention that would overwhelm

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: most people. And let's be honest, Bad Bunny was no different.

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: There was a spotlight on his life now and soon

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: it just became too much. So the unthinkable happened. Bad

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: Bunny was no Moss. He announced his retirement. Wait what

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: that's it, I'm leaving. No, No, I'm done, Joseph. It's okay.

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: We'll get through it because we all know that fate

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: had a different plan for babies futudo. It was bigger

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: than anyone could imagine. I am talking met Gallery. Yes,

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: even Anna Wintour cannot escape at conejomalo a sold out

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: stadium tour and a night we will never forget at

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two VMAs. But before any of that

22
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: could happen, COVID cut all of our plans short and

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: the world went into lockdown. I'm your host, Liliana Vasquez

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: and I'm Joseph Carrillo and this is Becoming an icon

25
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: a weekly podcast where we give you the rundown on

26
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: how today's most famous Latin at stars have shaped culture

27
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: and given the world some extra stable Sit back and

28
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: get comfortable, because we are going in the only way

29
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: we know how, with buenas and a lot of opinions

30
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: as we relive their greatest achievements on our journey to

31
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: find out what makes them so iconic. Um, that's an understatement.

32
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: That is as Joseph yo Ago became the highest charting

33
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: All Spanish album ever on the Billboard two hundred charts,

34
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: well until he released his third album, Ultimotor del Mundo.

35
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: But let's slow down, because we are getting ahead of ourselves.

36
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny had just delivered a banger of an album

37
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: and then shared that his next album would be his

38
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: last one. Wait what come again? The fanside questions, what

39
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: was he thinking, and the only place we could go

40
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: to get answers was Twitter. There were all of these

41
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: crazy theories. Um yeah, like the wwe excuse me, no, no, no,

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: I remember people thought, well he said nine months in

43
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: the song. Is he having a baby? Hell no. But

44
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: here's the thing. We were all thinking this if this

45
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: in fact was going to be his very last tour,

46
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: hold up, hold up, honey, you know I'm going to

47
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: every tour stop I can afford and hoard all the

48
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: merch I can get this hands on in size extra

49
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: smorg exactly. But we knew that the Yagur would be incredible.

50
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we would have to wait to see it because

51
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: in March twenty twenty, the world came to a standstill.

52
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Over one hundred countries instituted either a full or partial lockdown.

53
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: The entire world went on pause only one month after

54
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny released the album. Joagle was meant to get

55
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: peeps into the streets, out of the jando, in the

56
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: garage parties, or in the clerk. Instead, everyone was putting

57
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: on masks and stockpiling hand sanitizer, oh and toilet paper.

58
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: And let's be honest, the pandemic was bad for everyone,

59
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: but imagine if you're a global icon who just dropped

60
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: a critically acclaimed album, and now you're just passing time

61
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: by dancing at home with hold up with who who

62
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: is my puppy? Chuli's shacking up with behind my back,

63
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: Patience Joseph. I will get to all of that. In April,

64
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny went back to his SoundCloud roots and released

65
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: and Gasita with a very special backup singer, so Navia

66
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: Gadiela Berlinghetti. While Bad Bunny was becoming a worldwide sensation,

67
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: there was one thing he happily kept very very private,

68
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: his relationship with Berlingetti. Now here's what we know. They

69
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: first met while out to dinner with his family in

70
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, and then they started talking. They just hit

71
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: it off. It was simple, let may not get cute.

72
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: It's so basic but so romantic. I kind of love it.

73
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: And one thing led to another, and a year later,

74
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Gabby was in the studio with her man her Man

75
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Joseph recording references for Jlo's vocals on vegus Thin talk

76
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: about supporting your man's What's insane to me is that

77
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: they met in twenty seventeen and they're still together. We

78
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: found out about this years later. I can't believe they

79
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: were able to keep their relationship quiet and on the

80
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: d L for so long. Even the diehard Bad Bunny

81
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: fans had no freaking clue. Once we started seeing videos

82
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: of them dancing, are wrestling, playing Jenga, making out on

83
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: the set of Jo while Benito was in full drag. Yeah,

84
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: it was at that moment we knew they were the

85
00:05:54,080 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: real deal. He had a lot of things going on.

86
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: He also graced the first digital cover of Playboy, and

87
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: he was the only other man to ever grace the

88
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: cover other than Hugh Hefner himself, and his song Bano

89
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: appeared in an ad for Joe Biden's twenty twenty campaign.

90
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: He even gave a concert via YouTube on top of

91
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: a flatbed truck as it drove through Manhattan. Hold On,

92
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Hold On, But he delivered us one last album, even

93
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: though twenty twenty was so rough. In the end, Bad

94
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: Bunny gave the world a gift his album, A Ultimo

95
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: Tour del Mundo. For our non Spanish speaking listeners, it

96
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: means the last Tour of the World. Babe wrote and

97
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: recorded the entire album during Quartee, and it was a

98
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: sharp departure from Joago looking Lagana. Yeah, it feels like

99
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: it was a softer light light you should trademark that

100
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: was designed to be turned all the way effing up.

101
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Musi guy, you could shake your ass too, But Uti

102
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: Motor del Mundo was meant to be enjoyed at home.

103
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: You know. This was music to chill with with your girlfriend,

104
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: with your man's with your boo. And if you think

105
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: about the album, it was almost like he was imagining

106
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: what his last concert tour would look like. And what

107
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: was really stand out for me was all of the

108
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: different genres that we heard from Bad Bunny. It felt

109
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: I was hearing a little rock and roll, Was I

110
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: hearing a little new wave, maybe some indie music. I

111
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: actually was wondering if he was just kind of switching over,

112
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, because this was so different. Yeah, that question

113
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: is one that everyone was asking, right. We were saying, Okay,

114
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: he's stepping outside of reggaeton into reggaeini right, Okay, but

115
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: hold on, what was your favorite song? Okay? So I

116
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: feel like I have too. So one of them I

117
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: loved because it was the song that converted my mom

118
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: to a Bad Bunny fan, and that was Bekiti. It

119
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: was on repeat at my house, at my mom's house,

120
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, she finally came around to the Bad Bunny universe.

121
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: And what made me realize that this song would have

122
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: that power not just over my mom but over all people,

123
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: is that I would literally see gringos shazamming the shit

124
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: out of that song. What song is this? So it is?

125
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: It is just so good. It reminds me of, you know,

126
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: just being out and being around people, and it's just

127
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: a really, really really great memory. It was, and I

128
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: loved the pace of that song. But as a Rosalia fan,

129
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: I also have to say their collaboration, Oh, it was

130
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: so good fuego and it was something that the fans wanted,

131
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: so I felt they both listened to their fans and delivered.

132
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: And just like everything that Bad Bunny touches, it turned

133
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: to gold. The album dominated the charts, becoming the most

134
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: streamed album in Latin America. People were calling Bad Bunny

135
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: the world's biggest pop star, so naturally he started exploring

136
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: other creative avenues. He was like, y'all think you know me,

137
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: let me show you bo I really am, And that

138
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: led to a musical guest performance on SNL he got

139
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: cast opposite I don't know, the biggest celebrity on the

140
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: planet grad hit in a movie. Plus, he didn't stop

141
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: with that acting role. He also scored a supporting role

142
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: in Natur's Mexico. Hold On, Hold On, you're forgetting something

143
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: super major? No? Yeah, he started wrestling. How could we

144
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: forget wrestle Mania? Tight clothes and sweaty men. But all

145
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: these extracurricular activities also meant that Benito didn't have as

146
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: much time for his music. Like Ross and Rachel say,

147
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: we're on a break, he needed it for his own

148
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: mental health, But something in me feels like he also

149
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: needed to miss what he loves the most. You know

150
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: that saying if you love something, set it free. If

151
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: it comes back, No, if it doesn't come back, it

152
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: was never yours. It's on a T shirt somewhere. Whatever.

153
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that I feel like Benito needed

154
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: to miss the thing that really centers him, the thing

155
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: that drives and fuels his passion, and that's the connection

156
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: that music provides between him and his fans. After taking

157
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: a break from it all, Bad Money was ready to

158
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: come back with a whole new sound and reignite regeton

159
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: yet again. As Bad Money loves to say, he just

160
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: goes with the flow and post mundo, the vibe was

161
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: all about the fashion. No, no, it was about the

162
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: fact shining from the get go. We know that he

163
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: has always been a rule breaker. I mean, he is

164
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: a total individual. He defined trends with his style, challenging

165
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: gender norms and machismo along the way. So it's only

166
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: fitting that he would be invited to the biggest and

167
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: most exclusive fashion event, the MET Gala. Liliana. Not everyone

168
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: knows and is obsessed with the MET Gala as we are,

169
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: so watch the spiel. Okay, well, listeners, you're in the

170
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: right place because the MET Gala takes place once a year,

171
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean, on a normal non COVID schedule on the

172
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: first Monday in May. And what it really is is

173
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: a big fundraiser, right, It benefits the Metropolitan Museum of

174
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: Art Costume Institute a New York City. But it's called

175
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: the Met Gala, and it's only and only one person

176
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: gets to invite you my homegirl, and wait, she's your

177
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: home girl? I mean no, but I do contribute to Vogue.

178
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: You can't really get a ticket. You must be invited

179
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: by Anna herself to buy tables for a hundreds and

180
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars. Yes, I mean literally everybody wants to

181
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: be there. It has been hosted by the biggest names

182
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: in music, in film, in fashion, in society. I mean

183
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: this is Leachrem de Leachrem. Not even a list, this

184
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: is a plus plus list. It is the list. So naturally,

185
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: given his assent the top of the fashion and music world,

186
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: Anna had no choice but to invite bad Bunny Well,

187
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean she was lucky. He even made it. To

188
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: be honest, I mean, home dude was busy making the

189
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: greatest album of the Summa Summa Summa Time. I like

190
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: that your voice was so smooth on the I do

191
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: love that song. Benito knew the power of walking the

192
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: famous steps at the met Gallen, so naturally he RSVP hell. Yes.

193
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: What I love is that every year they have a theme.

194
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: The theme was the guilded Age, and Benito made sure

195
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: to represent Puerto Rico as he always does. The really

196
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: cool thing is he was paired with designer Ricardo t

197
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: Sheet for Burberry. Yes, which I thought was an interesting

198
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: pairing because here's how it worked. So Anna drafts up

199
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: her guest list, right, these are all the celebrities she

200
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: wants to invite, but then she paired them up with

201
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: their fashion quote unquote date, and that designer is responsible

202
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: for dressing that celebrity for the Red Carpet. So I

203
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: found it interesting that Anna for some reason thought that

204
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Ricardo and Burberry would be the perfect match for Benito,

205
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: and it turns out she was right. That fit Mama

206
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: was everything. Yes, the research that went into it, the artistry,

207
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: it was all a win. I mean he wore a dress. Yeah.

208
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: You know. What was the coolest part about the dress

209
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: is that it was actually two pieces that zipped together

210
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: to create a dress. And I believe his stylist, Storm Pablo,

211
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: mentioned that they had done a lot of skirts in

212
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: the past, but this was the very first time Bad

213
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: Bunny had actually worn a dress, especially at an event

214
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: this big and this major. Oh, it was incredible. I'm

215
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: dead and honestly like, he is someone who can deliver

216
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: this look. He might be one of the only people

217
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: that could deliver this look. He was the only person

218
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: who delivered the look. There, I said it. No, it's true.

219
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: I mean most of these men on the Red Carpet

220
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: just show up in a tux, and Bad Bunny was like,

221
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm not basic. I'm not showing up in

222
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: a white tie tucks. I'm going to show up in

223
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: a dress. And he was authentic and he was unapologetically

224
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Puerto and that is the best part of who he is.

225
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: He's just somebody that always shows up and gives us

226
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: something to talk about. His attendance at the Met gala,

227
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: was it just about hobnobbing with fashion Zelie and you know,

228
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: taking some snaps for the gram. No, no, no, Bad

229
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Bunny is much smarter than that. He saw this as

230
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: a he huge promotional opportunity. Unvanadocinthi Baby's fourth studio album

231
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: was released on May six, twenty twenty two, just four

232
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: days after the Met gala. Bad Bunny was everywhere post

233
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: Met and it paid off. That album debuted at number

234
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: one on the Billboard two hundred and hasn't left the

235
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: top since. Okay, this album is going to go down

236
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: in the record books. I mean simply. It is the

237
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: longest running number one album in over five years, since

238
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: Drake back in twenty sixteen. It is also the first

239
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: all Spanish language album to hit number one on the

240
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: Billboard two hundred for me, You're saying all these amazing things.

241
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like it's the album of the summer.

242
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: It totally is, But why do you feel that way?

243
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: Because it had everything from like mambo and techno and

244
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: rey gae in Coombia and Caribbean. It was he paid

245
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: an ode to the Caribbean culture. True. Yeah. And he

246
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: talks about the album, he says that this album encapsulates

247
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: a feeling, right, and that feeling is of his summers

248
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: as a little boy in Puerto Rico, and if he's

249
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: ever been to Puerto Rico, there really is something about

250
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: the air, about the water, about the people, about the feeling,

251
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: and Bad Bunny was able to bring all of that

252
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: into an album. I mean, it really is and has

253
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: been the go to album this last summer. Okay, but wait,

254
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: what is your favorite song on the album? Okay, So

255
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: I might get some feedback on this, but I'm gonna

256
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: go for it. I say this was the Laplaya and

257
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. It starts off classically Bad Bunny, right,

258
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: but then all of a sudden he hits you on

259
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,119
Speaker 1: a live mic over a Dominican band Dahianla Pachao and

260
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: then you have this mambo Marenge fusion and Bad Bunny

261
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: is just going for it. It's raw. It was a

262
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: total surprise. So the album was what a success, which

263
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: of course means that he had to go on the road.

264
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: But y'all, this was not going to be just any

265
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: tour he hasn't performed in over two years. It needed

266
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: to be big, and I mean over the top. Benita

267
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: was booking the biggest stadiums all over the world, and

268
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: they were selling out so fast. But you know, Joseph,

269
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: what I keep thinking when I see all of the

270
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: videos of him performing that fans are posting from his

271
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: concerts that you want to attend my wedding where Benito

272
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: and I walked down the aisle of Roses on a

273
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: ply on Puerto Rico. Wait what? And then I cut

274
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: the cake and then I shoved the first slice into

275
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: his open mouth and then he rubs icing all over him. Joseph, stop,

276
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: he looks happy. He just looks like he's having the

277
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: best time ever on stage, surrounded by all the good

278
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: vibas that his fans are bringing. It's really true, and

279
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: I think it says a lot about mental health now

280
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: and how outspoken. He has been about it. Yeah, you know,

281
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: we've talked about how he continues to fight against gender

282
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: norms with his fashion choices. But I think Bad Bunny's

283
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: also combating the stigma that often exists in Latin culture

284
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: around mental health and getting help for yourself, and the

285
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: way he does it is by just being vulnerable and

286
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: giving visibility to his own struggles. He really doesn't shy

287
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: away from acknowledging how important taking a break can be,

288
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: even for someone like him. The truth of Bad Bunny

289
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: as an artist is that he's always prioritized his well

290
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: being over fame and success. Honestly, he's just making art

291
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: that he can be proud of. Yeah, and that kind

292
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: of authenticity is inspiring, and he makes music with a message.

293
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: In a recent interview with Vogue, Bad Bunny said this, Honestly,

294
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for the awards and the recognition, but nothing

295
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: I do is with the intention of breaking records, getting

296
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: nominations or being number one again. I'm extremely grateful. I

297
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: don't want it to come off as if I'm not.

298
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm just doing what I'm most passionate about, creating music.

299
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: And he's even making music with his girl Berlingetti. Okay,

300
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: can you stop bringing her up? What are you not

301
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: inviting her to your fantasy wedding? Oh trust me, all

302
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: of the exes are definitely going to come witness my victory. Anyways.

303
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: In the track Alafagon Beer Lingetti sings let them leave,

304
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: this is my beach, this is my land. The song

305
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: is basically a melodic middle finger to the privatization of

306
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico's beaches and their electrical grid, and the resulting

307
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 1: displacement of communities on the island. Benito told The New

308
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: York Times, this is a song from the heart. I

309
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: didn't want to get a famous artist. I wanted someone

310
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: to sing it out of love, because it's a sincere message,

311
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: a message about how deeply he loves his island. So

312
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: when Unvananal Sindi dropped, there was no doubt where he

313
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: would be kicking off the tour. We really have come

314
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: full circle, haven't we? M And while we all know

315
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: the lead up to the concert was total chaos, please

316
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: refer to episode one. The best part about this PR

317
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: tour is that you could buy a ticket for as

318
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:17,239
Speaker 1: little as fifteen bucks. Honestly, I love bad Bunny gave

319
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: San Juan a sneak peek of what was to come

320
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: on his stadium tour, and every single night was packed

321
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 1: full of guests. Arbnito is always looking up for others.

322
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: The top moment of the night had to be when

323
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: he brought on Viano Antiano, the first prominent trans Latin

324
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: rap artist. The crowd went fuerta de control, but Benizo

325
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: wasn't going to stop there. He also invited queer musician

326
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: Young Nikol and alt Pareo artist Right Now during the

327
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: subsequent nights. Bad Bunny does not shy away from using

328
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: his massive platform to bring more visibility to trans and

329
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: queer artists, and he highlights political issues in Puerto Rico.

330
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: On stage, he said, the country belongs to us and

331
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: we are the ones in control. I believe in this generation.

332
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: I want to live here with you forever. That was

333
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: a very direct message to developers and mainland investors who

334
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: are trying to buy out all of Puerto Rico and

335
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: even claiming Puerto Rico's beaches as private property. I mean,

336
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: the beaches belong to Puerto Ricans, not you. Goldman Sachs

337
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: get to step in and all that drama is on

338
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: the album too. If you want to listen to the

339
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: tracks with some rum and potty potty potty on a playa,

340
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: you can do that. But if you really listen to

341
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: the B side of this album, Bad Bunny also asked

342
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: you to pay attention to what's really happening on the island.

343
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: There's actually one song in particular, I'd definitely like to

344
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: pour out a little rum too when we come back. Okay, really,

345
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: why I can't be the mind her own business because

346
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: she's at THEA and it's their job to be nosey

347
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: af honest? Is a bang girl? No, you are so

348
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: right on this one. I mean, this is the perfect

349
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: Bad Bunny song because you can dance to it, or,

350
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: as Joseph likes to say, you can twerk all of

351
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: the above. And he talks about doing this, and you know,

352
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: the song celebrates being with multiple women, cheating, not settling down,

353
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: and if you listen to it, on the surface, it

354
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: mocks more traditional relationships and expectations. But then Bad Bunny

355
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: turns the whole song upside down at the end and

356
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: says that, wait, I actually do want to be in

357
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: a committed relationship. I want stability, I want monogamy. Listen

358
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: the song is complicated, like all Bad Bunny songs are,

359
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: because even though it sounds like he wants a party, party,

360
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: party in the street with dozens of women, at the end,

361
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: it goes back to mental health and to also criticizing

362
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: the machismo that exists and is so pervasive in Latino culture. Right.

363
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: It's this double standard that's set on young boys and girls.

364
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: It's deep. He really addresses so many different things just constantly,

365
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: but it's the same issues he keeps going through. And

366
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: I think it's so cool because it's all written so differently.

367
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: The machismo, the cheating, the mental health, the political issues.

368
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: It's really beautifully told stories. Yes, and visually, if you

369
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: guys watch the video, I mean this video is a

370
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: love song to the Dominican Republic, right, and as of

371
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican who has oh out of Dominican friends. I

372
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: can tell you we're a little competitive with each other, right.

373
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: We're both small islands, fiercely proud of our music, our food,

374
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: our people are sound. But I love that Bad Bunny

375
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: is such a broad Botigua. But in this video he's

376
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: being proud of Puerto Rico, but also really sharing his

377
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: love for Dominican culture. I mean shot the video in

378
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: the Bronx on the streets. I was like, who are

379
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: you j low Right, he's in the bodega, he's parting

380
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: with the people. It's just it's a really beautiful video.

381
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: And I also live at the end that his real

382
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: life girlfriend Gabby gets beamed down from the sky in

383
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: her gorgeous white wedding dress. So some people even said,

384
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: wait a second, could they be secretly married and we

385
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: not know? Did she steal my dress? I'm done with her?

386
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: So it's only fitting that that's the song he performed

387
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 1: when he was awarded Artist of the Year at the

388
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two VAS. Now, this award is the biggest

389
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: award of the night at the VMA's and that moon

390
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: Man lets everyone know who ruled music that year at

391
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: Sharon Camilla, Caabayo, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber have

392
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: all taken home the same award. This is music Royalty

393
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: and now you can add Bad Bunny to that prestigious list.

394
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: This is a big deal because it makes him the

395
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: first non English speaking performer to win the award. Can

396
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: I get fails? Yes, yes, a Bad Bunny? And he

397
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: accepted the award on stage at Yankee Stadium in front

398
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: of a sold out crowd. Girl, those tickets were cralicious.

399
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: We couldn't even afford to get tickets for ourselves. I mean,

400
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: I need to sell my bitcoin. I mean we need

401
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: a raise. The prices were out of control. And you

402
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: know what, Joseph, everything that we've shared about Benetho in

403
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: these past three episodes, well it's all in his acceptance

404
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: speech from that night. From the beginning, I've always said,

405
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: and I've always believed that I could be big, that

406
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: I could become one of the biggest stars in the

407
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: world without changing my culture, my language, or the way

408
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: I speak. I'm Beneito Antonio Martinez forrom Puerto Rico, for

409
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: the entire world. Authenticity is what makes Bad Bunny an icon.

410
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: In his music, through his fashion, or when he's telling

411
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 1: off some of the most powerful politicians in the world.

412
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: Beneathal speaks his truth. He also works tirelessly to make

413
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: sure that others can speak their truth. He's an amplifier

414
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: for causes important to our community, and he always makes

415
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: sure to extend a ladder to the next generation. Joseph,

416
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: what's the reason that Bad Bunny is an icon in

417
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: rys he has become iconic in what he means to

418
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: me is he's an amazing storyteller, he's an artist, and

419
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: he addresses honestly for me because it's really like deep

420
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: to my heart mental health and mental health issues. And

421
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: he talks so openly about him, kind of like people

422
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: talk about the gym, and so it's his vulnerability of

423
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: just him staying true to himself that is what has

424
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: made him iconic for me. For me, it's always been

425
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: about representation, but representation that isn't watered down to appeal

426
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: to the masses. The fact that Bad Bunny is from

427
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: or Three and that I'm from Puerto Rico and my

428
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: family's from there. He is such a beacon of light

429
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: and hope and joy, and he really represents the love

430
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: that Puerto Ricans have for that island. And him opening

431
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: up the world to how beautiful and magical this small

432
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: island in the Caribbean really is, it just makes me

433
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: feel so loved and embraced in such a real way.

434
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: I feel like in the past, we've had representatives from

435
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: the island, but nobody has represented Puerto Rico the way

436
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: that Bad Bunny has, and it's so beautiful to see,

437
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: it's so beautiful to be a part of. And it

438
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: has really inspired me to reconnect with my family in

439
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: ways that I have it before, and to dig deeper

440
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: into the history of the island. And not many musicians

441
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: or fashion icons do that. Right, he has made me

442
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: really deep dive into Laku Buddha and understand it in

443
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: a very different way than I ever had before. Wow.

444
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, that's that's that's deep it is. And

445
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: I hope that other people that aren't Puerto Rican also

446
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: start to see the history and the culture and the

447
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: art and the beauty of that island they have and

448
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: they do, you know, And you know what's the most

449
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: exciting part about Bad Bunny. Tell me it's that he's

450
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: just getting started. I cannot wait to see what he

451
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: does next. On the next Becoming an Icon, I feel

452
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: like you didn't get quite enough Bad Bunny, Well, there's more.

453
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: On our next episode, Joseph and I are joined by

454
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: journalists Moi says Mendes to discuss all of the cheeseman
