You're tuning into Capitolo 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.400 two sixteen Lociento's d SC. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.840 Last time on Loca to a radio. We discussed the 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:23.560 mimification of evil, using the example of Trump's racist and 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:28.319 xenophobic remarks about the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, and 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.000 the way that those remarks have been turned into jokes 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:34.600 and memes all over the internet. This statement could be 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.120 their very first introduction to the Haitian community and what 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.280 it means to be a person from Haiti. And you know, 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.960 I didn't meet anyone from Haiti until I went to college, 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.280 until I was an undergraduate, and I was in Boston, Massachusetts, 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.080 and so there was a much larger Caribbean community. Tune in, 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.639 leave a comment, subscribe, and share with a friend. 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.360 So in case you missed it, it's that time of 0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:01.200 year again where Latinos and Hispanic folks come out of 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.320 hiding to celebrate Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.840 And you know, over here at Look, I thought our radio, 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:11.920 it's always Latino, Latina, Latine and my personal favorite LATINX 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.840 Heritage Month, each and every day. But that doesn't mean 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.360 that we don't have some things to say about these 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.880 four extra special extra LATINX weeks that we have to 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:27.440 celebrate between September and October. I've always wondered, why do 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.480 we start in the middle of September and then end 0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.280 in the middle of October. Why do we straddle these 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:37.960 two months, like why not one full month? What is 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.639 the purpose? But there's actually a reason, and it's not 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.639 just because Hispanic Heritage Month in this way is kind 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.359 of like a Mestizo month. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.480 I was about to say, yah, yeah, it's like symbolic, 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.680 it just makes sense, But there is an actual history 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.240 about Hispanic Heritage Month and why these four weeks were 0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:01.520 specifically chosen. According to Hispanic Heritage Month dot GOV, each year, 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:05.760 Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September fifteenth to 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:10.560 October fifteenth by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:15.640 American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.400 and Central and South America. 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:22.440 So something interesting is that this observation of Hispanic Heritage 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.120 Month actually started a while back in nineteen sixty eight, 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:31.400 and it was originally Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.800 Hispanic Heritage Week was actually expanded by President Ronald Reagan 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.080 in nineteen eighty eight to cover a thirty day period 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:43.120 starting on September fifteenth and ending on October fifteenth. It 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.120 was enacted into law on August seventeenth, nineteen eighty eight, 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.520 on the approval of Public Law one hundred through four 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.640 or two. You can look that up if you're interested 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:51.000 in that. 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:56.240 The day of September fifteenth is also significant because it 0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.680 is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries like 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:06.200 Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. In addition, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:10.720 Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September sixteenth 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.960 and September eighteenth, respectively. 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.400 So why celebrate Hispanics in the United States? 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.000 Why give us a month? 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.280 The Why celebrate us as a people and as a population. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.800 So we're going to share some key facts about US 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.360 Latinos for National Hispanic Heritage Month. And this coming from 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.400 Pew research from a study in twenty twenty three. The 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.960 US Hispanic population reached sixty three point six million in 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.920 twenty twenty two, which is up from fifty point five 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.080 million in twenty ten. This is a twenty six percent 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.640 increase in the Hispanic population. And this increase in the 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.960 Hispanic population was actually faster than the nation's eight percent growth, 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.280 but slower than the thirty four percent increase in our 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.120 Asian American population. In twenty twenty two, Hispanics made up 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.839 nearly one in five people in the United States, meaning 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.760 if you're in a group of five people, at least 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.080 one of us is probably of Latin descent. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.480 Latinos or Hispanics, have also played a major role in 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.320 US population growth over the past decade. The US population 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.320 grew by twenty four point five million from twenty ten 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.840 to twenty twenty two, and Hispanics accounted for fifty three 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.240 percent of that increase. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.040 The number of Latinos who say that they are multiracial 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.920 has also increased dramatically. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:27.919 We are a very. 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:32.599 Multicultural, multi ethnic, multiracial people group, and more than twenty 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.599 seven million Latinos identified with more than one race in 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.039 twenty twenty two. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.640 These data points are so interesting because obviously the term 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:45.520 Hispanic was created by the US Census, So I'm so curious, 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.640 what is Hispanic and what is Latino? Are these stats 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.359 also including folks from Spain because it is they are 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.800 part of the Hispanic population If you. 0:05:55.760 --> 0:06:01.720 Will, yes, I imagine that the span population is probably 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.279 pretty tiny compared to folks of Latin American origin. And again, 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.479 according to Pew Research, roughly thirty seven point four million 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:14.200 people of Mexican origin in the US represent almost sixty 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.920 percent of the nation's Hispanic population, this at least as 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.840 of twenty twenty two, and those of Puerto Rican origin 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.840 are the next largest group at five point nine million, 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.360 which does not include the three point two million Puerto 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.240 Ricans who lived on the island of Puerto Rico in 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:34.040 twenty twenty two. So my, okay, here we go. In addition, 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.520 in twenty twenty two, Spaniards accounted for nearly one million 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.840 US Latinos. So they do have, it seems, at least 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.960 according to Pew Research, they have their own place in 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.799 our census data and in the counting of Hispanics. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.120 Right, I mean, and that continues to be the conversation, 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.640 what do we call ourselves? And we're not getting into 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.480 that today because so many people have that conversation. And 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.040 I think, self identify how you want to identify. I 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.440 identify as Latina, which I know some folks don't like 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.800 that either, but that is true to my identity. There 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.680 was a while when I was in college, when I 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.160 was identifying as Chicana because it made sense for me 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:17.240 and my political understanding. But then the more time I 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.880 spent in Peru and in South America, I just felt 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.400 it didn't fit anymore, which is why as someone in 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:26.360 the US, Latina fits. But I also like just saying 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.000 we're my background, Well, my background is you know, I'm 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.280 proving Mexican. And then if you want to give me 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.520 an umbrella term, I'm proudly Latina. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.400 Absolutely, there's the hyper specific of who we are as 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.000 individuals and who our parents are, and then there's like 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:45.920 are in group, you know, membership. I identify as Mexican 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.760 American or Chicana. I think that's just the most specific 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:54.400 thing identity for me. I was very much raised by 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.200 my parents to identify as a Chicana. My dad identifies 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.880 as a Chicano, and I just feel like that's my 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.320 culture and that's my people, and I'm an la Mexican 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:04.720 American and this is. 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.760 Just where we're from and what we do. 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.440 Yeah, and you know, but I'm not a I'm not 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.000 a Chicana that wears like you know those T shirts that. 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.600 Say like not Islan. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.640 Yeah, let's say like Uslan and Vivola Rasa and like 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:24.240 not Hispanic, not Latino, not Mexican, Indigenous, you know like those. 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.560 I'm not one of those. I just want you guys 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:26.960 to know that. 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.200 And so for today's episode, we're gonna talk about some 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.000 of our top Hispanic Heritage moments of twenty twenty four. 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.520 And these being in no real particular order, we just 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.120 kind of thought about, like what was in the zeitgeist 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:49.480 this year as far as Latino, Latina, latinx Latina Hispanic people. 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.160 This is not an exhaustive list. If there were things 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.440 this year that really stood out to you that you're 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.280 celebrating this Hispanic Heritage Month or thinking about, let us know, 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.280 leave us a comment, leave us a review, and tell 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.640 us what we're missing from this list. 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:04.800 Don't go anywhere, lookamotes. 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:05.920 We'll be right. 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:14.959 Back, and we're back with more of our episode. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:20.160 So it isn't a conversation about latinos latinas I think 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.840 if we don't start with the iconic, the beloved and 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.760 hated Jennifer Lopez. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:32.640 JLO has given us so much, so much to think about, 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.199 so much to watch and listen to, and a lot 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:36.840 to criticize and make fun of. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:38.640 So this year was no exception. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.240 And if you've been on the internet at all, and 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.760 even if you haven't been on the internet, you've probably 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.839 seen this meme that took off in a lot of 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:51.160 different forms talking about a Jlo quote from an acceptance 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:55.000 speech that she made in twenty eleven at the American 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.880 Music Awards for her win in the Latin Music category. 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:03.960 During her acceptance speech, Jlo thanked mihinte latino, which is 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.320 an incorrect use of Spanish. It should be mihinte latina. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.360 Thank you so much, and all the producers on the 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:23.080 album everybody, Uh, don't have to say mi henda latino. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.560 But I didn't realize that this clip and this moment 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:33.120 was from twenty eleven because it was circulating this year, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.640 in twenty twenty four, in the past few months, and 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.200 circulating in a big way, and people making tiktoks with 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.840 the sound, a lot of tiktoks with the sound, people 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.080 doing a lot of like theorizing and analyzing and making 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:52.480 fun of It's really taken off. And I just feel 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.600 like every single year since Jlo has been working, which 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:58.800 has been decades now, she's been part of the conversation 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.280 whether a good way or a bad way, And this 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.240 was just one of many ways this year that Jlo 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.120 was in the conversation in a major way. She also 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.360 had movies out this year that she like self funded 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.400 and self produced. Of course we had benefit back in business, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.400 and now they're not anymore. She's just been very busy 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.479 and she like she does. She's given us a lot. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.640 She's given us a lot, and it's one of those 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.400 things where like nobody asked for this. I feels like 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:33.520 the consensus from the internet. But I for one, will 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.800 continue to follow Jlo on her work because I just 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.320 think she's someone for me. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.240 Like we can critique. There's like critiques and then. 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.480 There's like criticizing, right, So I'm like, we can critique her, 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.560 but I'm not going to criticize her, you know what 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.280 I mean, Like, yeah, she's given us a lot, she 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.640 continues to give and she's just an icon, you know, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.040 love her or hate her. I've been saying this for years. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.839 She's the Elizabeth Taylor. She's gonna get married again. She 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.000 loves to get married, she loves love. She's a lover girl, 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.800 true and true and true, Like she's a lover girl. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.000 And so you know, I love Jlo. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.040 The next one is a sound that we have been 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:19.000 living for on TikTok. It is so freaking funny and 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.679 I love the way that Latinas are using this sound. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.040 So it's kind of like a little bit of a poem. 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.760 Tears in my Latina eyes, blood on my Latina thighs, 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.120 dreams in my Latina head, I rest in my Latina bed. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.640 It sounds like a poem written in a Chicano Cities class. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.440 When you're like a freshman in college. 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.839 Oh absolutely, and you enter into like a spoken word 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:43.640 competition or showcase. 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.959 Oh absolutely, and this is what you share this. We've 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:47.360 all done it. 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.720 We've all done it. No shame, That's how we grow. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.320 Speaking of bad art, exactly what is the source of 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:53.960 this sound? 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:54.559 Do you know? 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.320 I have no idea because I was, you know, as 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:02.760 one does. I'm scrolling on TikTok, scrolling mindlessly, and I 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:08.199 saw a TikTok that was like just like an image 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:15.000 with these lyrics and the sound, which sounds like one 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.760 of the voice effects. Yeah, on the app, And that's 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.840 where I first heard it. And then I started and 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.320 I think I sent it to you, and then I 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:27.480 started seeing people Latinas putting themselves on camera, especially and 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.160 using the sound, but to like playfully mock their own 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.320 use of their various LATINX traumas, especially in their applications 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:40.320 for college, grad school, grants, jobs, opportunities, et cetera. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:41.640 And I think it's really funny. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.360 It's very like, yeah, maybe we're like kind of indulging 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.240 in our own trauma a little bit, but maybe that's 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.440 a good thing, because like you got to get something 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.760 out of your trauma, and so if that gets you 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.320 into college or grad school, then write about it. Write 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:57.959 about your Latina tears. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.840 Do it. You know somebody's gonna love it. There's an 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:01.600 audience for that. 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:02.560 Yeah. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.959 I mean it's also definitely like mocking certain Latinas and 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:11.400 how they show up in their identity online. Some of it, 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.800 I think we know the ones. We know the ones 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.320 where it's a caricature. It's like what you think Latini 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.600 that is. And then there's like, you know, something that's 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.040 more authentic, you know. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:24.920 But that's the thing. 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.280 It's like I saw a comment that was like, Latini 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.040 that is meant to be corny because it's a colonial project, right, 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.400 it's not meant to be like this deep ass thing, right, 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.680 which I think is something to consider. Like, there's a 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.720 lot of things on like the latinx Internet, if you will, 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.160 that's corny. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:44.560 Yeah. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.160 I also see like younger Latinas on TikTok in particular 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:52.320 talking about how they're very tired of gunchas on everything, 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.280 freedom on everything, hot cheetos on everything, no pilas on everything, 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.200 And we've talked about that too. Yeah, there is more 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.280 out there there for us to pool from. But it's 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:06.840 also you know, once something becomes mainstream, it's mainstream. And 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.720 like we just talked about with the Pew data, Latinos 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.000 our mainstream. There's millions of us. There's a lot of us. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:18.040 We are increasing the overall population of the United States. 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:22.040 One in five people is probably of Latino discent on us. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.960 We're not increasing the population depending on we're educating. 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:27.400 Oh, we're educating the population. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.120 You know, one in five people is probably Latino depending 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.720 on where you are in the United States. So we're 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.880 not like, you know, a tiny people group that's that's 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:42.120 disenfranchised across the board, right, So, yeah, Latinos our mainstream. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.880 Y'all, don't go anywhere lokomotives. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:52.120 We'll be right back, We're back with more. We hope 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:53.160 you didn't go anywhere. 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:58.520 So moving on our next favorite Hispanic heritage moment, which 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.240 is a really recent moment. We are so super duper 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.440 proud of our friend DJ Sizzle Fantastic and the Kumiaton Collective, 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.320 who have not only performed at the Ford, but at 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.960 this point they've also performed on stage at the Hollywood 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:17.920 Bowl alongside such iconic acts as La Sonorra Dnamita the 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.840 Hollywood Bowl. Honestly, that Kumbia night, the Hollywood Bowl has 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.120 never been so lit. There has never been so much 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:28.080 dancing in the aisles in the stairway. I mean, the 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.560 audience was up, they were active and people were. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:35.200 Having an incredible time. Sizzle looked amazing. She had this 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.479 gorgeous dress and this fabulous updu. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.760 She was like channeling Selena. I know she was.

So proud of Sizzle and the 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:52.320 Kumiaton Collective and all the folks that were involved, because 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.320 the Hollywood Bowl is such an iconic venue in LA 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.840 and not just anyone performs there. When I went to 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.840 see Carla Morrison last year perform at the Hollywood Bowl, 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.560 she said, I can't believe I'm performing at the Hollywood Bowl. 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.520 Like Gotla Montesen is like a star, and I think 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.960 even she had that moment on stage where she was like, 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:11.400 I can't believe I'm performing here. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.520 And so then to see our friends on. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.399 Stage and to see Sizzle looking so beautiful and repin 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.720 for La and her community so hard was such a magical, 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:22.680 beautiful thing to. 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.879 See, extremely incredibly. 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.080 You can get more Sizzle and actually hear from Sizzle 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.240 if you tune into our other podcast, our brand new show, 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:32.600 Senora sex Ed. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:34.440 Sizzle actually has. 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.720 Her own episode with her mom, Goco Loco, and it's 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.760 an intergenerational conversation between the two of them about sex 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.680 and sexuality and how they learned about sex and sexuality. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.399 So make sure you tune into that episode of Senora Sexed, 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.280 also on the MICHAELA Podcast Network. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.040 Next on the list, Mala, have you been following the 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.480 Anheila Aguilar and Christinolal drama? 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:55.240 Okay? 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.040 Is there some like infidelity and cheating and somebody stole 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.160 somebody's man allegedly. Okay, tell me about it, because I only, 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.760 like very vaguely have seen mentions of this. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:04.439 Okay. 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:09.640 So Christiano is a Mexican singer performer. He's very famous, 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:14.080 very popular, and he has kind of now created this 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:18.800 reputation of being like Omohiriego, being a cheater. And so 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.960 first he was dating Belinda, the Belinda. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.679 Okay, I know who she is nova, right, she was 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:25.439 in Cheater Girls. 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.560 Yes, Belina wasn' that's how I love that's how. 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.080 See, that's my reference. That's how I found out about 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:36.199 her for the Barcelona cheatera Girls movie, specifically because she 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:36.719 was in it. 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:37.639 Okay, she was in it. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.199 Okay, So he was dating her, and then he eventually 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.840 started dating Gasu. And Gasu is another singer from Argintina. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.240 She has her own musical career and she had a 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:52.080 baby with him very recently. And so it appears that 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:57.720 Anhila Aguilar, who is famously daughter of Pepe Aguilar okay a, 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.480 they're a dynasty in Mexico. So she was friends with 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.520 Gasu and there was a point where on an Instagram 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:12.360 photo of Christian and Casu, she says fan the sura Lacion, Yes, 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:16.359 shady yes, so she knew them as a couple, she 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.760 loved allegedly loved them as a couple. Next thing, you know, 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:24.600 we see Ahila Aguilad and Christian Olan are together and 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.840 Gasu just had a baby, like when their relationship went public. 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.960 She had her baby with Christian was like only months old, 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:35.840 so there was definitely some overlap. 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.000 And of course who got the heat. 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:42.920 From the public was Ahila not Christian, And so there 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:47.040 was like a lot of polemica drama about that. It 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:50.879 was all over my TikTok, honestly, and so I was 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.640 keeping up with that for a while. So then next 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.280 step Anghela and Christian get married. 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.760 No wow, yeah, and so the room is that. 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.679 Beilard was like, you are not gonna do that. You 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:05.200 are not gonna embarrass my daughter. 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:07.479 They ma ass us. 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:08.919 So they get married. 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.560 So they get married, and there's this video that goes viral. 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:15.400 There's a lot of videos that have gone viral where 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.639 people are now making fun of an Hilda gui Lad. 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.480 She's kind of the butt of the joke right now. 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.160 She's not really liked it. And Mexico in in terms 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:27.080 of like popular culture public consensus, people don't like the 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:27.720 other woman. 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:30.639 We know that, especially when there's a tiny baby. 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:31.280 Yeah. 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:36.119 Yes, So there's a couple videos that have gone viral, 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:51.679 but one of them is where she's screeching amor so. 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.399 Now folks have replicated that sound. 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.200 They've stitched it with the video of her saying ahmod 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:02.760 and they're like opening a ca they're closing something, they're 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:07.879 finding all these ordinary household objects that replicate that same 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.560 high screech. And so to me, that has been like 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:15.760 one of the most funny moments if we're thinking about 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.400 it for Latino Heritage Month, that like say, youse be done. 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.879 Yeah, okay, thank you so much for catching me up.
