It was after our first 25 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: team meeting, and because we're working remotely, I'm in southern California, 26 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: Elisa is in Miami, we jumped on a Google meet 27 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: and almost immediately we began cheese manimal or how we 28 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: say in English gossiping. 29 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 4: We realized that we were kindred spirits and we immediately 30 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 4: felt comfortable with each other because we felt like we 31 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 4: were taking a risk. 32 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: A risk you mean by talking to each. 33 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: Other, yes, to talk about souda what else? 34 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 5: Oh? 35 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 3: Because it was clearly a cheese man Okay. 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 4: I mean, it's just something that we fell into without 37 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 4: even trying. So there we are. We're feeling bonded, we're 38 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 4: feeling connected, and then I started to feel guilty. I 39 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 4: think it has something to do with the fact that 40 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 4: I was raised Catholic. I went to Catholic school for 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: fourteen years, so I was taught from a very early 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 4: age that gossip is harmful and a moral But I 43 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 4: still did it all the time. 44 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: Elisa Maria, can I be brave yet controversial? 45 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: Obviously? 46 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't feel that guilty. 47 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 6: Choose me on the butter coworkers. 48 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: Oh, we didn't say anything bad about them. With some context, 49 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: I was a cousin in the family that had a 50 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: bond of cheese may and me being me, I've always 51 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: handled those situations by doubling down. So I'm was trying 52 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: to make some judgment and was like, I know, you 53 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: moved out to be with your boyfriend. I would be like, yeah, 54 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: and a girlfriend too, Like if they wanted the sunt 55 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: I was going to give it to that. 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 4: So, Maria, what is your relationship to cheese me? 57 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 3: I think, like you, I kind of love it chees me. 58 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: I have very specific memories about sitting with my mom 59 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: in the back of our green station wagon with all 60 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: six of us driving to Mexico every year from Chicago 61 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: in the middle of winter, and the closer we got 62 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: to Mexico, the closer it was going to be the 63 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: moment when we could say buen o Mama, ill chees me. 64 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: And so it became a way of like really embodying 65 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: my mexicanness, you know, because I was growing up as 66 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: a kid in Chicago and it was a way that 67 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: I was bonding with my mom. 68 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: Hmm, what I'm hearing is that cheese me is a 69 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: little bit more complicated than we realized it is. 70 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: I think I think cheese may is complicated. 71 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 4: Even though cheeseman, though comes so naturally to us, we've 72 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 4: actually been struggling to define cheese may. So we wanted 73 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: to ask you, Mariya, how would you define cheese may? 74 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: Well, if you had to translate it, the simplest way 75 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: is to say, it's gossip. But there's something about cheesemay 76 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: which is about storytelling. It's something that is very present 77 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: in our reality as Latinos and Latinas in the United States, 78 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: and I think that's the way we're looking at it, 79 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: or at least that's the way I think you're going 80 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: to be looking at it. 81 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 3: In this conversation. 82 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: Wow, you've literally read our minds. 83 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: I mean, it's hard to define because cheese may can 84 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: mean different things to different people in different contexts. But 85 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 4: if we're thinking about cheese may on a very basic level, 86 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: it's talking about someone in their absence. So you're sharing 87 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 4: information that you don't necessarily know to be true, but 88 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 4: the tea is just too hot for you to not 89 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 4: spill immediately. 90 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: In that first conversation we had, we were already asking 91 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: all those questions, is it good? 92 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 6: Is it bad? 93 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: How can it be so fun when it's so bad? 94 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: And is she's not the same as rumor? 95 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 4: And I remember I was being very dramatic with Monica 96 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 4: and I was telling her that I really believe sometimes 97 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 4: that I'm evil at my core because I love to 98 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 4: chease me ad. 99 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: Dude, evil at the core? Oh my god, what did 100 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 3: the mong Has do to you? 101 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: Mi? 102 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: No, No, that's a bit much. 103 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. So Alisa and I clearly had different feelings about 104 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 2: cheese men, but how we were still able to recognize 105 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: that it was a language we both spoke, and despite 106 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: growing up in different places and belonging to different communities, 107 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: I'm Mexican and Salvadoran and lisas Cuban American, cheesema was 108 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: something that we sort of innately understood how to do together, 109 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: and we felt like that was probably really special. 110 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 4: We could already feel that as Latina's gossip isn't just gossip, 111 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 4: it's an identity, it's a way of life. 112 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: Well, to get some answers to some of our questions, 113 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: we need hardcore data. So in the name of cheesema science, 114 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 2: we're conducting an experiment where we create a chiesemy and 115 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: see how far it'll spread. A cheese may about you, 116 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: Maria me, oh. 117 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 4: M hm, it's going to be something harmless, but something crazy. 118 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 4: As you know, it's actually harder than you would think 119 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 4: because we've been workshopping a few ideas with you. 120 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 7: Maria was in a dr for so long because she 121 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 7: was filming a movie with Linn Men Mel Miranda, and 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 7: she's going to be the next star, like a sexy 123 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 7: movie Hustlers or something. 124 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: What I thought you were going to say was Maria 125 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: was in the Dominican Republic so long. We think she 126 00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: just had a baby. Okay, well I want to hear 127 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: the other ideas. 128 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: We didn't have any other ideas. Those were all of 129 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: our ideas. 130 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: But I think I have something, Madia. So you know 131 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: how you have this big, bouncy, voluminous hair. 132 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: Yes, it's all about the hair and the hoops. 133 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 4: Yes, so if we see it, it's always done up. 134 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: But if we don't see it, it's always wrapped up 135 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 4: in a turmine. So how about we make people believe 136 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: that your big bouncy locks actually don't belong to you. 137 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 4: It's not your real hair. It's a wig. 138 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: You know, I have my tricks as to how I 139 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: make it voluminous, but I could see how that could 140 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: potentially work. 141 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 8: Mm hmm. 142 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: So this is what we're gonna do. Since we have 143 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: more questions and answers, I think we're gonna go on 144 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 2: a little bit of a cheeze mquest. And to do that, 145 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: we're gonna have to speak to some cheese my experts 146 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: from different fields to find out why cheese met is 147 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: so central to our lives as Latinas. 148 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: And finally, we're gonna get a little bit sneaky and 149 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: talk to the team to see if this wig cheese 150 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 4: met lights up. 151 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: Like Firela when Monica, so you have your assignment.

But the ones 338 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 12: people definitely want to talk about are the allegedly stories. 339 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 4: Yes, I love those. 340 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 12: But I do believe where there is smoke, there is fire, 341 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 12: and you just have to do the work to find 342 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 12: the fire. 343 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: Ooh, so, why is celebrity cheese man such big business? 344 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 12: I think people sometimes forget that these celebrities are true brands, 345 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 12: and there is a machine that is there to protect 346 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 12: that brand, and they want to control the narrative. 347 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 13: They want to really control when. 348 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 12: A story breaks, how it breaks, how much you know 349 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 12: about that story. 350 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 13: And it's not just them, the media is also in 351 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 13: on it. 352 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 12: I've gotten to call ten minutes before I'm about to 353 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 12: go on air. That's like, we're killing the story because 354 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 12: so and so's person called and they don't want to 355 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 12: talk about it, or you got this sound by an interview. 356 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 12: They want it gone and I'm like, well, I don't 357 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 12: want it gone. They're like, right, well, we've got to 358 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 12: play the game. What you're hearing is a water down 359 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 12: version because you're talking about millions of not billions of 360 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 12: dollars at stake here. 361 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 4: So just like there's big tech, there's big cheese. 362 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 13: Mead, I mean, is what makes the world go round. 363 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: So like, which celebrity does the best job of curating 364 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: and mitigating their Cheesemay. 365 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 12: Jlo and a Rod You're talking like exponential coverage. 366 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 6: She's one of the biggest stars in the world. 367 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 5: And he is one of the biggest athletes of all time. 368 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 6: Could the two of them now be striking up a new. 369 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 12: Romance, amazing for business, good for both of them. I 370 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 12: think times there were people like, oh, this is great 371 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 12: for him. 372 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 6: It was great for him. 373 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 12: It was great for her because I always think that 374 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 12: when you take two A list stars and put them together, 375 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 12: you get a double A. 376 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 13: They blended the families. 377 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 12: Jlo was co parenting with Mark Anthony and then they 378 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 12: were at church with a Rod. So it's like two 379 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 12: massive celebrities in their own right, combine them together for 380 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 12: like superstar power, and then they like the press. 381 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 13: Oh my god. It was a win win for everybody. 382 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 2: If you add Jlo and a Rod's net worths, it's 383 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 2: over half a billion dollars. They've invested in luxury, real estate, 384 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: tech startups. Jlo has her own skincare line, Jlo Beauty. 385 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: And just as they sold that power couple narrative to 386 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 2: the public, that was probably the same story they were 387 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 2: selling to their investors. 388 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 4: Mm hmm. And after her breakup with a Rod, Jaylo 389 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 4: got back together with Ben Affleck and now they're engaged. 390 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 4: But how do you think that this girl announced that 391 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,959 Speaker 4: she's engaged to Ben Affleck? M how by posting a 392 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 4: teaser on her social media and then telling fans that 393 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 4: they had to sign up for her newsletter in order 394 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 4: to hear the full story. 395 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: Wow, that Che's my baiting never ends. So what do 396 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 2: you think the relationship between Cheeseman and storytelling. 397 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 12: Is storytelling is just refined Cheeseman. And it kind of 398 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 12: makes sense that I went into this field because I 399 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 12: want to know stories, I want to ask the questions, 400 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 12: and I have an ability to tell a story live 401 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 12: that is really unique to me, and that is because 402 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 12: I think I've practiced it for so long in front 403 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 12: of my cousins at the dinner table, like at the Godnessada, 404 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 12: at the Quinsignia. And there's a way that you tell 405 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 12: the chiement that gets everybody engaged and brings everyone into 406 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 12: the conversation. 407 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 13: And if you are the one. 408 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 12: Leading that, there definitely is a performance aspect of that. 409 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 4: No, totally. The delivery is super. 410 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,239 Speaker 12: Important because when you're telling it to an audience, you 411 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 12: want to be gentle, you want to give it pause, 412 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 12: you want to get the reactions because based on their reactions, 413 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 12: what's the next part of the story that you're going 414 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 12: to reveal and are you going to tease it out? 415 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 12: Are you going to leave them wanting more. Are you 416 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 12: going to get up, go get a drink of water 417 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 12: so that they're like. 418 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 13: Come back, come back. 419 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 12: And that's essential, you know, as a host, as somebody 420 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 12: who works on camera, to be able to do that, 421 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 12: it's a very critical skill to have and not everybody 422 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:01,479 Speaker 12: can do it. 423 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: So we took Leniana's advice and used our best storytelling 424 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: skills to share our little experiment with her. 425 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 4: And like the housewives, she was not impressed. 426 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 12: No girl next level say that she was just vacationing 427 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 12: at mar A Lago, not mar A Lago. 428 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 13: Oh my god, that's the mic drop. 429 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 10: That's it right there. 430 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 2: So it turns out that cheesemak can influence anything from 431 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: the media that we consume to the products that we buy. 432 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 2: And meanwhile, there are people getting rich from our thirst 433 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: for cheese. 434 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 7: Man. 435 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if celebrities are brands, cheese mayth feeds 436 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 4: the beast. 437 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 2: So it's clear that cheesemath can be really influential, and 438 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: maybe it has been that way forever. I feel like 439 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: we need to dive into the role of cheesement throughout history. 440 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 8: Ana Rodriguez Navas I am an associate professor of Latin 441 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 8: American literature and culture at Leola, Chicago, and my most 442 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 8: recent book is a book on gossip, which is why 443 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 8: we're here. 444 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 4: So the tora in your book idle Talk, deadly talk. 445 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 4: You look at how gossip in the Caribbean isn't just 446 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 4: a tool, it's a weapon. So while it can build communities, 447 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 4: it can also destabilize them. And something that you also 448 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 4: get into is a difference between the etymology of gossip 449 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 4: and cheese may. I'm wondering if you could tell us 450 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 4: a little bit more about that. 451 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 8: So in English we use the word gossip pretty indistinguishably 452 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 8: from the Spanish cheese mate, right, but at its origin 453 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 8: they're very different. So the word gossip comes from gossip, 454 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 8: which basically means mavrina. So the word gossip is rooted 455 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 8: in kinship, in that kind of chatter or talk between 456 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 8: god parents. It describes a specific act, whereas cheese may 457 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 8: for us. In Spanish, the origin of the word is 458 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 8: much more oppositional. It derives either from the word for 459 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 8: that bug, which is obviously an unpleasant, nasty creature, or 460 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 8: the word for schism, which can mean division, rupture, break. 461 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 4: This really surprised me because Chief made to me has 462 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 4: more of a positive connotation than gossip. Another distinction that 463 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 4: you make in your book is that the terms gossip 464 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 4: and rumor are often used interchangeably, but that doesn't mean 465 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 4: that they're identical. So with rumors, you don't necessarily know 466 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 4: where they're coming from, and they tend to be more conspiratorial. 467 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 4: But gossip has almost more credibility because it's more personal 468 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 4: and it's transmitted from one person to the next, so 469 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 4: it's the whole You know, you didn't hear this from me, 470 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 4: but yes, exactly. 471 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 8: Gossip is very, very, very elastic, and it's really hard 472 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 8: to overstate how different it can be and how much 473 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 8: it changes while still being recognizable as gossip. 474 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 2: So look, Doda, we've actually been speaking to several professional chizmosas, 475 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 2: and now that I'm thinking about it, we've only wanted 476 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 2: to talk to women, and we never even. 477 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 6: Bothered to ask why that was. 478 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 2: I'm starting to think that it might have something to 479 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: do with the internalized belief that we gossip more or 480 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: Gela muherrees almost masschizmosis. But where does that belief even 481 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 2: come from. 482 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 8: Historically, there's been that suggestion that real men quote unquote 483 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 8: don't gossip. So where does that come from? Well, women 484 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 8: were historically excluded from the public sphere. We weren't the 485 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 8: ones writing in newspapers or doing the public speaking, or 486 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 8: attended political meetings. So it's in the private sphere where 487 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 8: we found our voice. But it's also important to recognize 488 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 8: that women were not the only one's gossip. What happens 489 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 8: is that men use their public speech to label women's 490 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 8: private speech as inferior while ignoring their own private speech 491 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 8: or not agnowing what they're doing as a form of 492 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 8: gossip too interesting. 493 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 4: So is that maybe why women have been told that 494 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 4: gossiping is bad and something that we should feel guilty 495 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 4: about doing. 496 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 8: You know, gossip is something that we all do. But 497 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 8: what happens is that when people talk about gossip as 498 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 8: not respectable or something that is a terrible thing to do, 499 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 8: it's really what you're seeing as an attempt to police 500 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 8: other people's gossip and to dismiss their voice. 501 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 2: Exactly, And as you explore in your research, this isn't 502 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 2: something new. So throughout history, what has been the relationship 503 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 2: between gossip and power. 504 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 8: Gossip has been historically a brush used by the oppressor 505 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 8: to paint the oppressed. So it's happened with indigenous men 506 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 8: with peasants and farmers with gay people, all of whom 507 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 8: have been talked about as being lazy, good for nothing gossipers. 508 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 8: But what is happening in those cases is that those 509 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 8: in power are first excluding those groups from public discourse 510 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 8: and then disqualifying their private discourse as nothing but gossip. 511 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 4: Oh okay, I see how it is. So can you 512 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 4: give us an example of what that looks like In 513 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 4: Latin America. 514 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 8: Whether it's slavery or colonization or dictatorships, our region has 515 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 8: been marked, unfortunately by systems of power that don't represent 516 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 8: large sectors of the population, precisely because gossip is illicit 517 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 8: and furtive. It is a way for people to circumvent 518 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 8: those controls. They're able to challenge official versions of events, 519 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 8: to say what they think really happen, and to circulate 520 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 8: important knowledge to preserve their voices and their experiences. 521 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this is really resonating with me. In 522 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 4: the afternoons, I used to sit in the sala of 523 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 4: my childhood home with my visa Welas and they would, 524 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 4: you know, tell me a lot of stories. There's usually 525 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 4: a lot of cautionary tales, sometimes about men, but also 526 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 4: so about government repression in Cuba. So it is affirming 527 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 4: to know that that is also a form of cheesemaye. 528 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 8: Gossip is a fundamental part of the kind of information 529 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 8: control of repressive political systems, and it sort of works 530 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 8: both ways. It can be extremely beneficial and it can 531 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 8: be extremely repressive. So, for instance, if someone gossip's with 532 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 8: you and tells you, hey, be careful with the neighbor 533 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 8: turns out that he's connected to the authorities, you know 534 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 8: that if you want to be safe, you're not going 535 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 8: to tell anything that might jeopardize you or your family 536 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 8: to this neighbor, right, anything that is against the government. 537 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 4: This reminds me of the comites delu in Cuba, which 538 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 4: are basically networks of cheese muscles whose job is to 539 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 4: snitch on their neighbors to the government if they see 540 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 4: or hear or suspect of any illegal activity. 541 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 8: Yes, that's a perfect example of that. That's why. And 542 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 8: there are money, and this sadly continues to happen. And 543 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 8: I want to point out that in this example we're 544 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 8: talking about men right all the way. 545 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 6: Yes, all the way. 546 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: It's always the men. 547 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 8: Gossip for us in the diaspora, is a really important 548 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 8: way to reclaim stories that are at risk. So, for instance, 549 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 8: if you think about family gossip, it's not just chatter. 550 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 8: It's also a way of preserving something important or reclaiming 551 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 8: lost memories, lost history, of filling out silences. There's a 552 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 8: kind of oral history of the community that is authentic 553 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 8: that emerges from gossip. 554 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 4: Monica. I think I'm having a moment. Oh my God, 555 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 4: tell me. For maybe selfish reasons, my main goal in 556 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 4: this quest has been to demystify cheese May, because obviously 557 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 4: I'm very desperate to drop my gill. But I think 558 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 4: that it's distracted me from seeing how cheese May has 559 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 4: actually helped me form and craft my Cuban American identity. 560 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 4: How So, when I think about when I feel the 561 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 4: most Latina, it's when I'm Chismanlo with my theas and 562 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 4: my cousins. It's late at night, everybody's defenses are down, 563 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 4: and that's when I'm not trying to check my Miami 564 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 4: accent because I think it makes me sound less educated 565 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 4: or something. 566 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: You know, I've only recently been able to think of 567 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: myself as respectable, and I think a lot of that 568 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: is because so much of my Latinx identity is deeply 569 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: tied with class and gender and my experience in being 570 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 2: this working class, flamboyant chi they Latina with a huge butt. 571 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: I know that my words have never really carried much weight, 572 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 2: but it has been that act of dismissal that has 573 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: always fueled my desire to just own my truths own 574 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: my cheese, miss because for me, there's been nothing more 575 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 2: powerful than just living in my truth. 576 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back, Nissa Helite's the cheese made. 577 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: So how did the assignment go? 578 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 2: We have so much to share, my god. 579 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 4: Okay, so we first talked to two reality TV stars 580 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 4: from the Real Housewives of Miami and they had some 581 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 4: interesting suggestions about our Cheesemay Maria. 582 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 6: Oh, Luca, that's not a good one. 583 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 9: Why don't you say she has like a fake leg 584 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 9: or something. 585 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: Okay, that's like the craziest thing I've ever heard that 586 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,719 Speaker 1: what's easier to make people believe is that I have 587 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: a fake leg, not that I'm using weights. 588 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 2: Our second expert was an entertainment journalist and she wanted 589 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: us to take it even. 590 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 12: Further, say that she was just vacationing at mar A Lago. 591 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: Wow, I think she knows me because to that one, 592 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: that's some pretty serious cheese man. 593 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 3: That could destroy my career. 594 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: Right, good thing. We spoke to our last expert, Lo 595 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 2: Toro riaz Nevz, who reminded us that cheesemut is supposed 596 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 2: to be organic, it's not supposed to be fabricated. So 597 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 2: in this case, our experiment took an unexpected turn. 598 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm totally confused and intrigued. Now I want to 599 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: know what happened. 600 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 4: Okay, So what we're saying is that we didn't end 601 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 4: up telling anybody on our team that you wear a wig. 602 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 6: Oh. 603 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 2: We learned that the space where cheesemu happens is really 604 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 2: vital because you need to build that intimacy and confienza. 605 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 2: You got to look people in the eye. But because 606 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 2: we're all working remotely, we realized that spreading the cheesemut 607 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 2: wasn't really going to happen as naturally as we wanted. 608 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: In other words, cheesema has actually taken a hit during 609 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: the pandemic. 610 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 2: It was a really unexpected loss. 611 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: I did wonder, how do you start cheesema up when 612 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: you're not all in the office, So yeah, the pandemic 613 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: hit again. 614 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 4: We were also just thinking what if we did start 615 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 4: spreading this cheese mal What if we started having meetings 616 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 4: with other producers and we were like, hey, guess what, 617 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 4: Madias hair is fake? What if that was an invitation 618 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 4: for them to say some really mean, nasty things about 619 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 4: your hair. 620 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: The thing about cheese may is that it can go dark, 621 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: it can get cruel, and it can be used as 622 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: a takedown. 623 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we also have to remember that cheese 624 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 4: may is a way that belief systems are built and 625 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 4: also maintained. So for example, if I'm talking to Una 626 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 4: Senora and she's gossiping to me about how someone gained 627 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 4: weight and she's framing it as something shameful, that cheese 628 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 4: may is not going to be fun for me because 629 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 4: body shaming is against my personal ethical code. 630 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: And so that is the other side of cheesemay where 631 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: we can be laughing and joking. But then it's like, oh, 632 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: there was a crossover right there, and I understand that 633 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: that would have been hard. Also, if anybody said anything 634 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: bad about my hair, I'd have to come at them, 635 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 1: not just kidding. 636 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,280 Speaker 4: So even though we didn't end up spreading the wig Cheesemay. 637 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 4: I think that we still came out on top because 638 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 4: we had a breakthrough. We learned that we'd come from 639 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 4: a long line of cheese mosas who, like us, knew 640 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 4: that gossip isn't just silly women's talk. It deserves more 641 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 4: respect because it can be a tool for resistance. 642 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, it's an ancestral language. 643 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 3: A save for cheesemay right there. 644 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 2: And you know, this experiment has made us realize that 645 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 2: it's not even so much what we're cheeseman though about, 646 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: but rather the connection that cheese may is creating. 647 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 12: My bs and I live such different lives and sometimes 648 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 12: it's hard to find things to talk about, but we 649 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 12: can always talk about that, yeah, always. Cheese May creates 650 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,919 Speaker 12: commonalities for us to discuss and discuss passionately and energetically 651 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 12: and have fun together. 652 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 8: Gossip, for us is a real important connective tissue connecting 653 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 8: us US Latinas to Latin America, connecting us within our communities. 654 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 8: But it can be a bridge so that sense of belonging, 655 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 8: that sense of being part of that community is heightened 656 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 8: with the gossip. 657 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 6: I doil me.
