2000. Hi guys.
00:10
Welcome back to Lincoln Bio.
00:12
I'm Jenny and it is Friday.
00:17
So let's, huh?
00:19
Yeah. Heyday guys.
00:21
so let's get into it.
00:23
We're gonna be talking about opening day and how it's gonna hurt
00:27
your pockets. And a man has a pig kidney Starbucks recall
00:35
And adultery is illegal.
00:39
And also we have your mom's diet is why your face looks
00:43
like that. Exactly.
00:46
The Casa Grande movie with writer and director Robbie Arroyo kicks it
00:51
with us and Chicano Batman slides through.
00:54
Let's get into it.
00:59
So Nestle USA is recalling over 440,000 Starbucks branded mugs due to
01:07
customers, reports of burns and cuts from using the product.
01:11
That is a lot of mugs.
01:13
That's a lot of pissed off Karens.
01:16
Oh, yeah, a lot of pissed off Karens that have
01:17
their daily Starbucks. I mean,
01:20
when I saw the number,
01:21
Jenny, honestly, all I thought was like,
01:22
that's 440 lawsuits. Oh,
01:25
yeah, 440,000, 440,000 lawsuits.
01:29
And I might need to buy a mug to join that,
01:33
buy a mug. So the ceramic mugs coated with metal and
01:37
bearing the Starbucks logo were part of four gift sets sold during
01:43
the 2023 holiday season.
01:45
So if you got one as a gift,
01:47
that shit don't count,
01:49
you can return it.
01:49
Let them know the situation.
01:51
So the US Consumer Product Safety Commission reported 12 incidents involving Starbucks
01:57
branded mugs, overheating or breaking when microwaved or filled with hot
02:02
liquid. Some of these injuries include severe burns blisters and one
02:08
apparently required medical attention.
02:10
So these mugs are taking people out.
02:12
Oh my God, imagine they say,
02:14
you know, just like I just wonder if they have the
02:18
not microwave safe or something.
02:20
No say. But if you got one of these mugs return
02:23
it please. A man in Massachusetts became the first human to
02:32
receive a kidney transplant from a genetically modified pig.
02:38
Wow. So 62 year old Rick Sleman who had kidney failure
02:44
underwent the successful four hour operation on Saturday at Massachusetts General Hospital
02:49
Scientists are developing genetically engineered pigs to make more organs available
02:55
for human transplants while people often wait years for organ transplants,
03:00
this could change that.
03:02
So previously, doctors performed pig kidney transplants on two patients with
03:07
no brain function. They also performed picked heart transplants on two
03:11
other patients who died shortly after Sleman is recovering extremely well.
03:17
In his case, he would have to wait 5 to 6
03:21
years for a human kidney and his doctor said he would not
03:25
have been able to survive it.
03:28
The man's pig kidney was developed by biotech company E Genesis.
03:32
It at its genes with a technology called CRISPR so that animal
03:36
organs become compatible with human bodies.
03:40
So I'm like thinking like this organ that's inside this man,
03:45
this pig kidney if someone eats his pig kidney is that still
03:51
considered cannibalism because it was part of like,
03:54
like it was inside him.
03:55
Wait a minute, it's,
03:58
it's like half cannibalism because to get to the kidney there.
04:02
Well, I don't know.
04:03
That's a random thought.
04:05
No. Like we really,
04:06
really, it would be a case by case scenario because it
04:09
could be a mix of cannibalism or just being a meat lover
04:15
I don't know why that,
04:16
that random thought just went in my head anyways disregard what I
04:20
just said. Hasn't.
04:21
Yeah. Anyways next story,
04:23
that story, Jenny.
04:30
Imagine your mom's hot Cheeto diet during her pregnancy is the re
04:34
fuck. Is it worth it?
04:36
Is the reason why you have a big ass head?
04:39
I have a big ass head,
04:40
not you. I mean,
04:42
it's not your fault.
04:44
It's the diet. So a recent study found that a mother's
04:49
diet during pregnancy could affect her baby's facial feature.
04:53
What did my mom pinches Platanos?
04:58
She wasn't a planting.
05:01
That's why you're built like a banana.
05:03
No, just kidding.
05:05
It was bad. I'm joking.
05:07
I do like one too.
05:09
The gene complex M torque one is in charge of shaping a
05:14
baby's face in the womb.
05:16
Researchers found that a high protein diet can enhance this gene.
05:22
No, not that gene,
05:23
this gene and influence a baby's face shape.
05:26
Wow. So you're telling me when I'm ready to have a
05:29
kid, I gotta be like,
05:30
you gotta be on this type of diet because I want him
05:32
to look like this.
05:34
I'm, I guess so that,
05:35
I mean, that's what,
05:36
that's what studies are showing.
05:38
I want in and out baby.
05:39
Fuck it. This includes the length and width of the baby's
05:44
nose, their jawline cheeks and skull.
05:48
So this bump right here on my nose.
05:50
What the fuck was my mom eating?
05:52
These changes are subtle but distinct.
05:55
For example, in pregnant mice and fish,
05:57
high protein diets gave the offspring larger jaws and the thicker nasal
06:03
cartilage. So so all that is why Trump is an
06:08
orange because they probably had like oranges,
06:13
the facial features, it's orange,
06:14
it made their features more pronounced jetty.
06:25
I'm so sorry. These are the only tickets I could afford
06:27
Yo, I need two beers.
06:29
Here's, here's $100.
06:30
I know that's how much it costs.
06:32
What are you guys doing here?
06:34
What up guys? My favorite time of the year,
06:36
it's opening day. Let's go.
06:40
It took me like three hours to get home last night,
06:43
but you know, whatever it's all worth it.
06:46
So, you know how expensive,
06:47
you know, going to baseball games can get right,
06:49
especially in Dodger Stadium.
06:51
It is the Miami Marlins got our backs.
06:56
What, what did they do?
06:57
So the Miami Marlins have introduced the all you can eat seat
07:01
ticket. Guess how much is price that?
07:04
How much? $52?
07:06
So you're telling me you buy a ticket to the Miami Marlins
07:11
game and it's $52 and all the food and everything is included
07:19
hot dogs, chili dogs,
07:21
nachos, cheeseburgers, popcorn,
07:24
peanuts cookies. You fucking name it is all included in that
07:28
ticket. You can't get a better deal anywhere else.
07:31
Like come on, if you're from Miami,
07:32
you have no excuse to not take a girl out on a
07:35
date except that it's not with alcohol.
07:38
I wouldn't even tell her it's all you can eat.
07:40
I'll be like keep getting what you want.
07:42
I got it. Well,
07:44
except not it, it's alcohol.
07:46
Does it cover alcohol?
07:47
No, it doesn't cover all.
07:48
Ok. So Jenny,
07:50
how, how are the Dodgers looking compared to the Miami?
07:53
Well, the average price of a seat at the Dodger game
07:57
is $109 per seat and a Dodger dog price is seven bucks
08:04
and beer is 16 bucks.
08:08
And that's a Agua dude,
08:09
$16 for that shit.
08:11
You need like three jobs to go to a Dodger game and
08:13
you're not even counting parking,
08:15
parking is like 35 $40.
08:16
So, I mean,
08:17
don't get me started with New York though.
08:20
The average ticket price this season is looking like around 100 and
08:23
$30 per seat. A hot dog price is $3.
08:27
That's not bad. And a beer price is 12 bucks,
08:31
you know, not bad.
08:32
It's all right. You know,
08:34
just gotta work for two weeks but I still prefer that,
08:37
that all you can eat.
08:39
Yeah, I go to,
08:41
I go just for it,
08:42
you know, Dos Yankees,
08:43
all these other teams like take notes like or when are the
08:46
Dodgers playing in Miami?
08:47
Yo, Miami send us tickets,
08:49
stop playing. So you know the Netflix stamp is a big
08:56
deal, Jenny. Today we have director Miguel Puga and writer
09:00
Lalo Alcaraz of their new animated movie,
09:03
the Casa Grandes. Hey,
09:06
what's up guys, Miguel?
09:08
What inspired you to become a cartoonist?
09:11
And how, how has being a Latino influenced your work?
09:14
Like was there a particular cartoon that influenced you?
09:17
I, I mean,
09:18
I, I always drew as a kid and I think the
09:20
show that really inspired me was the Charlie Brown specials and seen
09:25
Bill Melendez's name on there.
09:27
And that's the first time I ever see a Latino name on
09:30
a cartoon. And I used to love watching cartoons.
09:32
So when I saw that and see my family gather around for
09:35
Thanksgiving or Christmas or Las Posadas and just watching all those Christmas
09:40
specials or, or holiday specials with.
09:44
So I wanted to do like I wanted,
09:46
I wanted to entertain and I knew I wanted to make cartoons
09:51
and that's what inspired me and also with the Casa Grandes,
09:54
my family inspired me so much to kind of evolve these
09:59
characters more into like my tia,
10:01
my cousins, my primos.
10:03
It's funny how we all kind of like grew up similar,
10:05
you know, like all those Latinos.
10:08
And Lalo,
10:09
how do you balance representing Latino culture while appealing to a diverse
10:14
audience and how real can you get?
10:16
Well with our, our when,
10:19
when we had the series of the Casa Grandes,
10:21
I think we pushed the limits of you know,
10:24
how real we can get.
10:27
kids programming has its limits,
10:29
you know, it has lots of rules and you can't show
10:32
a kid sticking a fork and a you know,
10:35
in the plug in the wall,
10:37
you know, and but we could kind of got
10:40
away with a few things that were pretty funny like
10:43
Miguel's family, you know,
10:46
stories and my stories and everyone,
10:49
we all have crazy families and we all have funny stories
10:54
And i it's,
10:56
I don't, I don't,
10:57
I don't see how a showing a Mexican American family,
11:01
a Chicano family, a Latino family.
11:03
I is problematic. Unlike some people in Hollywood,
11:08
what changes have you seen in how the industry includes Latino voices
11:13
and stories also. How's it going in Hollywood for you guys
11:16
Hey, Miguel should talk about the crew.
11:21
Yeah, we, we wanted to represent the family by representing
11:25
who we hired at,
11:27
I am proud to announce that we use a Mexican animation studio
11:31
something that you don't really hear about in this industry,
11:35
especially in the animation industry.
11:37
We went and I fought to get a Mexican animation studio in
11:41
Guadalajara mighty animation. And we also use a composer who is
11:46
Mexican and we flew out to Rome Leon and Monterey and
11:52
recorded the orchestra there along with some pica musicians and choir and
11:59
it, it was everything I ever wanted to do and especially
12:02
with the writers, everyone that poured their heart into this
12:07
this movie,
12:08
I think other than this movie,
12:11
there's maybe like 33 or four other Latino projects out there.
12:16
So we need more content because,
12:17
you know, we,
12:18
we're the Latinos are a powerhouse in Hollywood.
12:20
They, they watch movies,
12:22
they, they buy the content so we need more representation and
12:26
it, and it does matter to have it.
12:28
We know, we know we all read that story every year
12:31
about, oh, a new study came out about how Latinos
12:34
are underrepresented. That story is 30 years old and running it
12:38
because nobody does anything about it,
12:40
right? We're so underrepresented that yesterday,
12:43
we got included in the article about the Gordita chronicles.
12:46
Like right at the end it said,
12:49
and there's about four other shows going on right now and,
12:52
and this movie and that's how,
12:54
you know, lame,
12:56
you know, the situation is and we need we have
12:58
the talent instead of just over indexing and buying 24% of the
13:03
movie tickets. And,
13:06
you know, and while we're 19% of the population,
13:10
you know, we,
13:11
we should be getting a little more representation,
13:14
right? And, you know,
13:15
we're like, brand loyal,
13:16
right? You know,
13:17
we buy the same brand for our whole lifetime.
13:21
I don't know why people aren't capitalizing on this.
13:23
They are, but they're not giving back to us.
13:25
I agree. It's like almost as if we're like an afterthought
13:28
where it's like the priorities are so just not there.
13:34
And we'll show up,
13:35
right. We'll show up.
13:37
Yeah. Yeah, we pull up for sure.
13:39
And we got big families too.
13:41
So it was like 1515 other people grandes.
13:46
Exactly. Oh, well,
13:49
thank you guys so much.
13:51
We really appreciate you talking more about the Casa Grande movie.
13:54
So where can people follow you?
13:56
And where can people watch the movie?
13:58
Well, people can watch it on Netflix.
14:00
It's only on Netflix and it's fun for the entire familia.
14:03
It's not just a kid movie because there,
14:05
there's mother, daughter themes in the movie that are,
14:08
are made. All my,
14:09
the cry when they watched it,
14:11
all my cousins. I was like,
14:12
that reminds me of my,
14:13
my, my daughter and stuff.
14:15
So it, it's always great and you can follow me on
14:18
Instagram under Puga Vida and I just keep waiting.
14:23
I'm posting more art and more behind the scenes stuff from the
14:27
movie. just to share the amazing art from all the
14:30
artists that we got to work with and we're still burning up
14:33
the top 10 on Netflix.
14:35
And we're, I heard we're number one in Mexico or
14:39
Latin America. Reports are coming in and we're number seven in
14:45
movies and Netflix and the number two in kids' movie and
14:50
like Puga pointed out the other day,
14:53
we only have 1/10 of the budget of the number one movie
14:57
which rhymes with Super Mario Brothers.
15:01
And and we're right there next,
15:03
next to them, but you can follow me on
15:06
I'm everywhere man. You can't,
15:08
you can't throw a rock in the internet and I'm not on
15:11
that site, you know,
15:12
so I can't wait to watch the movie.
15:16
Yes, because the trailer got a lo thank you guys so
15:21
much. Take care,
15:22
guys, take care.
15:27
Hey, are you depressed?
15:29
Well, we have the perfect person here with us to help
15:32
you through this. We have Robbie Arroyo.
15:37
Thank you. I'm good.
15:39
Thank you for having me.
15:41
Thank you for coming on.
15:42
So I wanted to ask what is the best music to dance
15:46
to when dealing with depression?
15:48
Well, I honestly think that reggaeton is probably my favorite.
15:51
Shake it all off,
15:52
shake it, you have to,
15:53
you know, the violin,
15:55
you know. other than that,
15:57
you know, we have we also have to,
15:59
you know, some pop music,
16:00
we have some afrobeats as well.
16:04
That's true. A little ass shaking can really make me like
16:07
absolutely. So you said on tiktok that you use
16:10
reggaeton as therapy? What do you think makes reggaeton?
16:14
So healing, I think.
16:17
Well, first of all,
16:18
I grew up in Puerto Rico.
16:19
So like growing up,
16:20
that's all I listen to.
16:22
So it, it's not only a nostalgic but also something
16:26
that like is fun.
16:28
Like you said, you,
16:29
you gotta throw some mass here and there,
16:30
you gotta throw some mass here and there.
16:32
And so that's something that like,
16:34
I don't know, like putting on your headphones on your home
16:35
alone and you just let go and you're just like,
16:38
OK, I just felt coffee is not that serious or hey
16:41
I just did,
16:42
this is not that serious.
16:43
Like you just kind of like re center and it's just,
16:45
I think sometimes we take ourselves too seriously and sometimes you just
16:48
gotta let loose and shakes.
16:50
That is so true.
16:51
Sometimes you gotta let loose and shake your ass.
16:53
I'm gonna definitely use that.
16:56
So when did you start dancing alone in your room?
16:59
And is it a memory from like your childhood or something you
17:02
started doing later in life?
17:04
That's a good question.
17:05
So I think growing up,
17:07
I was like this like shy kid outside,
17:10
but like in my room,
17:12
I had a TV.
17:12
And I was like,
17:13
fully into Tumblr, fully into like listen to music videos.
17:17
So, like, I would watch like reggaeton videos,
17:21
but I would also watch like Beyonce videos just like we had
17:24
like this huge mirror that my grandma had and we would just
17:28
I would just dance and it would like,
17:29
I would close my door and it would be like my moment
17:31
of peace and yeah,
17:33
and they still did it.
17:34
like it was something that was like therapeutic to this day that
17:37
I love that too because a lot of people don't know,
17:40
but there's dance therapy.
17:41
Do you know? Did you see,
17:43
I have heard of it since my doing tiktok.
17:45
But before that I was like,
17:47
I just thought I was a weird person in my room.
17:49
No, no, no,
17:50
no. There's actual like dance therapy sessions.
17:53
I remember when I went to Colorado to visit my cousin,
17:55
she was like, hey,
17:55
we're gonna go to dance therapy.
17:57
Like, what is that?
17:58
I just landed. I want from a red eye and you
18:00
want me to do dance therapy and,
18:02
and we went in this like circle and there was all these
18:04
people and they're like,
18:05
just dance, feel it and,
18:08
and people were crying and just dancing.
18:10
There was no cory like it was just whatever you felt,
18:12
you know, it was like the music,
18:14
anything they would put anything.
18:16
So it, it,
18:17
it's funny that you mentioned that and I can totally see that
18:20
And have you tried to get any of your relatives to
18:23
treat their mental health through dance or music?
18:27
I, I have but not intentionally.
18:30
It's just been through kind of,
18:33
you know, me posting and then reposting it and then kind
18:36
of going, going to visit them and realizing like they wanna
18:38
go out dancing or like,
18:39
I see my little niece,
18:40
like, like she's assuming and like from the videos she's seen
18:43
So I, I feel like it's been like a not
18:46
intentional, but I love that.
18:47
It's, it's bleeding into everyone's life because I think it's a
18:50
beautiful thing as like dance and expression is,
18:53
is, is lovely.
18:53
It is and give us a new,
18:56
like give us new song recommendations like,
18:58
like Sad Pero songs or I don't know if I can give
19:02
you s well, is there,
19:04
there is there but I feel like right now I've been listening
19:07
to at the gym is the call Cheese New or like the
19:11
whole album is just like 10 out of 10.
19:14
Like I can listen to that like on repeat literally just like
19:18
I literally had in the house just like the album on repeat
19:21
And my partner was there and I was like,
19:22
OK, I think we,
19:23
we get it and I'm like,
19:24
you know, we can play it a few more times like
19:26
I still can hear it.
19:27
Yeah, I love,
19:29
I love Kelly. She's amazing.
19:31
So you've watched Beyonce live.
19:35
Yeah. Oh, no,
19:37
you're fine. Like,
19:38
what is your favorite concert you've been to?
19:41
I, I will have to say it was between.
19:46
I have actually, I have to say Beyonce,
19:47
Beyonce and I grew up listening to her my whole life and
19:52
you'd think someone who's like,
19:53
40 would give you like a good show but like,
19:55
nothing that you're gonna,
19:56
like, remember. But it was one of those shows that
19:59
I think it was like our best concert in like my lifetime
20:03
I think, not just hype,
20:06
it's genuinely like her vocal ability,
20:08
dancing all of it.
20:10
But then I would also say I went to Rosalia,
20:13
I saw her three times within like a few months because
20:18
she's also someone who performs and kills it,
20:22
kills it, dancing and singing vocally unreal.
20:25
And I think like music is something that's like,
20:27
not only like, it helps me get through things,
20:30
but it also inspires me for new things and like what the
20:33
world can be or what things can be.
20:35
So, yeah, I agree.
20:37
I definitely agree. It plays a very important part in all
20:40
our lives. Yeah,
20:41
thank you so much,
20:42
Robbie. We appreciate you talking about how,
20:44
how music can help with your mental health and just make
20:48
things better all around.
20:49
So thank you for coming by.
20:51
Thank you for having me.
20:52
Of course, I'll talk about this.
20:54
You're like, always talk about this.
21:01
Yo, what's up guys?
21:02
And we're here with L A Legends Chicano Batman.
21:07
Let's go fellas. So the new album is Sexy.
21:17
And honestly, you guys,
21:19
I don't know if I told you guys,
21:20
I moved from New York and I had my boys from out
21:22
here, put me on to you guys and damn,
21:25
you guys got it going on fellas.
21:28
Real. So,
21:30
where did you guys record the album?
21:32
Why is it important to switch up the studios and we recorded
21:37
at Sunset Sound in Hollywood.
21:38
And you know,
21:39
if it was up to us,
21:40
we would be like,
21:41
well, how much does it cost today to record there?
21:43
Well, how much is the budget?
21:44
How much is that?
21:45
How much is this?
21:45
But this is for the first time.
21:47
We didn't have any say in this John Congleton,
21:49
once we chose him as producer,
21:51
he arranged all that.
21:52
And then, so I asked him,
21:54
I was like, why did you choose to do it here
21:55
And he's like,
21:56
I mean, we're gonna make a great album,
21:58
you guys deserve this.
21:59
And I think that was the first time any producer had made
22:02
us feel like we deserve the best,
22:03
you know, and he's just like,
22:04
we're not trying to do anything less.
22:07
And I think that put me like in this,
22:10
in this, the king's chair,
22:12
are there any influences that would surprise us that you guys might
22:15
have? Vira Vira,
22:19
it's my guy from Marina right.
22:23
Hunter S Thompson. Not bad.
22:26
I mean, we're just talking like,
22:27
I'm a big merengue guy.
22:29
So Merengue and the base is like,
22:32
is those Aio Dorados guys from the eighties?
22:36
All that base work is,
22:37
is really compelling and it moves,
22:39
it moves, it moves the world.
22:40
You know what I'm saying?
22:41
I'm reading fear and loathing in Las Vegas again and it's just
22:46
fantastic. Every, like the way Hunter and Thompson just flows
22:50
on those is like bars,
22:52
bro, like every sentence is gold.
22:55
Does your writing style change for English versus Spanish?
23:00
Because for me sometimes like,
23:02
you know, Spanish,
23:03
you could just, I'm hungry and Ean Tengo Ambre,
23:07
you know, you could add feeling behind it.
23:10
So does, is there a difference between both when you're writing
23:13
in English or Spanish?
23:14
For me, it's,
23:15
it's Spanish is my love language.
23:17
You know, it's my first language.
23:19
So, you know,
23:20
when I'm saying something in Spanish,
23:21
I'm talking to my family.
23:23
You know what I'm saying?
23:23
It's so easy to rock and a minor in Spanish because it's
23:26
got feeling, you know,
23:28
like, just, just like you're talking about,
23:29
it's like, you know,
23:31
you're gonna put queso fresco on a tortilla or American cheese,
23:34
you choose, they're both good but one's better.
23:36
All right guys, parallel is dope and you guys do it
23:39
How, how did that song come about that?
23:41
That song was a,
23:42
a process, a real process.
23:45
I would go to his house,
23:46
he's at the studio and we would just work and we're just
23:48
like, let's try,
23:49
like,, writing lyrics together and,
23:52
yeah, it just turned into,
23:53
like, well, today we didn't actually write anything,
23:56
but we talked for three hours about old beef,
23:58
you know. You know,
24:00
and then you come back,
24:01
all right, you know,
24:02
come back another day,
24:02
another two hours go by and then we write for 30 minutes
24:06
you know. and it was,
24:08
it was just the kind of process you wanna have with anybody
24:10
in your life just to talk about the old resentment,
24:13
you know, and the old stuff that,
24:15
that's just callous for no reason.
24:16
Paralyze was a reason for us to open up to start smoothing
24:20
out that callous and be like,
24:21
yo, these don't have to be there.
24:25
Freedom may free, don't say well,
24:42
we're both passionate fuck.
24:43
So like, you know,
24:44
and, and about this project and we've been doing it for
24:46
like 20 years. So it's like band members shit,
24:50
you know, and it's just like we have different visions through
24:53
different people. So there's always been a lot of like competition
24:57
Like we're always butted heads,
24:58
you know, like,
25:00
you know, and yeah,
25:01
we're brother, brother shit,
25:03
you know, and,
25:03
and, but we've grown from that too,
25:05
like, like records like cycles of existential rhyme.
25:09
Like that was a lot of,
25:11
but yo, it's like what we've always been,
25:13
it's almost like fine tuning each other too.
25:16
Like, like they say friction makes babies.
25:19
It's true. You know,
25:22
it was crazy because we got,
25:23
we put ourselves in a situation where I was like,
25:25
oh, I'm gonna mess you up right now,
25:26
bro. And then like,
25:28
and then, and then I would say a lyric and I'm
25:30
like, hey, bro,
25:31
it's how I used to feel in the past.
25:32
But like, what do you think this line?
25:34
And I'm like, I'm like,
25:36
sorry, bro. I don't really matter,
25:37
you know, and he said no way,
25:37
I'm gonna fuck you up right now too,
25:39
you know. No,
25:39
it wasn't like that.
25:41
He said that it was like,
25:43
no, no, no,
25:44
no, we both remember it differently just so,
25:45
you know, we both remember we're both there but two versions
25:50
I've heard you say the interviews.
25:51
I'm like, I know you said that you came up with
25:54
freedom ain't free. Used to say it used to say that
25:56
all the time, all the time on the road.
25:57
I'm the one who brought her up in the session.
25:59
I was like, freedom ain't free.
26:01
Of course you said it like he would always be pissed because
26:03
like, freedom ain't free because I'd be like freedom is free
26:07
It's some, it's some bullshit,
26:08
you know, like on the road,
26:10
we're already tired of each other.
26:11
It's like there's some freedom.
26:12
Freedom is free. We're like,
26:14
you know, you guys getting the real,
26:15
real, you guys are getting the real,
26:16
real now it's like peeling back the curtain and this,
26:19
this experience is not unique to our band.
26:21
A lot of bands have scenarios like this because you're collaborating
26:25
you're highly creative,
26:26
highly individual and you're trying to see eye to eye and it's
26:30
part of the process,
26:31
you know, and sometimes people just don't talk about it or
26:33
know about it, but it happens with all the groups that
26:36
I know and love.
26:37
I know that for sure.
26:38
Yeah, absolutely. And you know,
26:40
being Raza, there's the expression,
26:42
you know, la Ropa,
26:42
que la and casa.
26:44
Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
26:44
And we're like, no,
26:46
we're gonna watch it right here in front of everybody.
26:47
You got brothers, you're fighting,
26:49
you're in a band,
26:50
you're fighting, no one's gonna,
26:52
everyone's fighting, you know what I'm saying?
26:54
But it's how you come to grips.
26:56
So I heard y'all,
26:57
y'all, you guys are gonna be on tour.
26:58
What are you guys most excited about?
27:00
There's a couple of new places we're going to playing in
27:04
Arkansas. Never, never been there before or played a show
27:07
there before. But we'll,
27:08
we'll be in, you know,
27:10
all the big cities,
27:11
New York City, Brooklyn Steel,
27:13
the Forum in Los Angeles.
27:15
The forum is wild.
27:16
What's the full circle moment for you guys?
27:19
I mean full circle.
27:21
The first show I saw at the forum,
27:23
I was like 18.
27:26
It was happened to be the chili peppers.
27:27
We're talking about the chili peppers.
27:28
My friend was like,
27:29
hey, my older brother has an extra ticket.
27:31
You want it? 20 bucks.
27:33
Let's go. So I was broke,
27:35
I was a college student.
27:36
So I went, spent my last 20 bucks.
27:37
I had that week and we had like the nosebleed seats,
27:40
you know, we were way up there and it was amazing
27:43
It was incredible.
27:43
The energy up there was amazing and it's just crazy to be
27:46
from the top, top last row to now we're on the
27:50
stage. It's pretty amazing.
27:52
Full circle moment for me is the forum was where I
27:56
saw my very first concert.
27:57
So I saw Metallica,
27:59
but I went with my cousin Letti,
28:01
my brother Vivi and my Patino.
28:05
And just the other day,
28:06
my Pao calls me.
28:06
He's just like, he's a huge fan.
28:08
Always supported me in music,
28:09
you know, he's always seen it in me and always supported
28:11
me in that. And he called me and he's like
28:13
hey, you guys made it not Tego P not is
28:18
you made it, you,
28:18
you, you know,
28:19
you, you're already hitting those spots.
28:20
So it's like, you know,
28:23
yeah, for me,
28:24
it's like, you know,
28:25
making music and writing songs has been a very personal thing.
28:29
So like, you know,
28:30
I'll just be in like I was,
28:32
I learned how to play guitar sing and shit in like high
28:35
school basically. So I would play in my backyard and then
28:38
my neighbor would be like you saw,
28:41
you know, and so I,
28:42
I grew up with a lot of that shit like growing up
28:45
like I never felt accepted anywhere but yo,
28:48
I'm fucking drop your mics,
28:49
baby. I'm the forum,
28:51
bro. With my,
28:53
where's that whore? Where's,
28:56
where's his name? You like,
28:58
can you guys break down a favorite lyric on a song
29:01
on the album? Do you have a favorite lyric?
29:03
So anything stand out from,
29:05
from earlier when I was listening to,
29:07
to, to, to,
29:08
to parallel you, you,
29:12
you my favorite are beautiful daughter.
29:26
Oh, it really struck me how raw and honest you were
29:38
you know, and I think that set a precedent for
29:40
everything else we're gonna do.
29:41
You know, it says let's just keep this as the standard
29:43
Then, you know,
29:44
if we're being raw,
29:44
honest, then just keep being raw,
29:45
honest. You know,
29:48
we ask you to listen,
29:50
we want you to listen and I love,
29:54
oh, come on my kids now,
29:59
you know, it's like I wish I was there more.
30:01
We're going on tour,
30:03
you know what I'm saying?
30:04
Like we gotta go on tour and,
30:05
and you know, our kids gotta stay behind and you know
30:07

30:09
