00:08
do, do I think we're good.
00:09
Right. Yeah. What is up guys?
00:12
Welcome back to Lincoln Bio.
00:13
I am Alejandro and I am Jenny and we have a jam
00:16
packed show for you today.
00:17
We got a lot of pop culture,
00:18
a lot of trending topics.
00:20
She's getting crazy. It is crazy.
00:24
saying goodbye to physical media.
00:26
American Airlines, tripping on their package fees and a Yolanda show
00:30
update while we also have foods and medicine to go over El
00:33
Sereno and we're talking Centro de mesa drama with a party rental
00:38
business. And we're also talking to Congressman Joaquin Castro about deleting
00:45
movies. Huh? I didn't think you could do that.
00:49
and Tambien Nico Rivero from the Washington Post.
00:53
We're talking about human hair,
00:54
sweaters. Oh, interesting.
00:58
Oh, that sounds good to you.
01:01
Well, let's get into it,
01:07
brother. Do you remember going to the store and buying,
01:14
wait one sec. Physical C DS and DVD S.
01:19
Oh, is it still sealed?
01:21
Yeah, I remember these good tis right then you're a T
01:24
I or what? There was a lot of T I in
01:26
here. Well, you can have whatever you like,
01:30
apparently to Best Buy.
01:32
No, you can't because C DS are out the window.
01:37
They're not selling C DS no more.
01:38
They're pulling that shit because everything's on online.
01:43
Like, Spotify and Apple Music and I don't care.
01:49
What's the first CD you ever bought?
01:51
Brother? The first CD I bought was Sade.
01:56
And I still have it sad.
01:59
Yeah. But it's me a song because I,
02:01
I honestly can't. I like,
02:09
ok. But it's just crazy to me because what if they
02:15
pull, they pull stuff from like Spotify.
02:17
Sometimes they pull songs and you can't access them anymore.
02:20
You have to go on youtube or,
02:22
and what if they pull them on youtube?
02:23
At least you have a physical copy,
02:25
you know, not to be that guy and describe the story
02:28
But it's only best buy.
02:30
If people really, really,
02:31
really, really want this,
02:32
they can go to ebay and go to the collectors.
02:36
What if other people start doing the same shit?
02:39
Well, like you said,
02:40
it's on Spotify, it's on vinyl records too.
02:46
I'm a vinyl record collector.
02:48
Oh, yes, I am one of those.
02:51
But anyways bring back physical media.
02:55
I'm gonna do whatever you want because it just sits there on
02:58
the shelves. No one's buying,
03:00
it looks, it looks nice.
03:02
It looks nice on your shelf.
03:03
More clutter, more hoarding.
03:04
Sure. The reason I'm salty,
03:06
let me tell you why I had a collection of C DS
03:09
My 1998 Honda Civic got stolen and it took my C
03:13
DS, my collection all gone.
03:16
Wow. That you had the folder,
03:18
the big, I had a little baby folder.
03:19
But yeah, and I'm like,
03:23
you know, Spotify was around,
03:24
but it wasn't like super popular and tells Roberto loss regardless.
03:34
I don't really care.
03:35
I haven't been to Best Buy in forever.
03:37
I wouldn't even know they had this whole section still.
03:38
Whenever I go, it's a ghost town.
03:40
So well, guys is Best Buy,
03:44
making the right move and getting rid of these.
03:47
Let us know in the comments they are for Best Buy.
03:53
That wasn't called for.
03:56
shout out Apple music,
03:59
bring him back, bring him out,
04:00
bring them out. So did you hear that?
04:09
The Yolanda liar D Mi is actually out now and people have
04:13
thoughts I did. I saw it over social media and
04:20
We're just gonna give you the the rundown,
04:23
right? Yes. If you don't wanna watch,
04:27
Me either. I don't have oxygen or whatever the fuck you
04:32
yoana saliva is saying that she accidentally shot Selena and she bought
04:36
the gun in self defense because she said she didn't feel safe
04:40
around the Quintanilla family because they had already like kinda been suspicious
04:43
of her stealing. So she buys a gun.
04:47
Hey, you might get fired for stealing.
04:49
Oh, it's like that one meme.
04:53
she says she was a fearful one.
04:56
She's the victim but like,
04:58
it's crazy because she shot her from the back.
05:00
Selena was walking away.
05:02
That makes no sense to me at all.
05:07
Exactly. So, Saldivar's talking about what went down between them
05:09
Right. They met at the hotel on March 31st,
05:12
1995. Saliva threatened to un alive herself.
05:15
So she was planning to kill herself there apparently.
05:19
But then somehow the gun was pointed towards Selena.
05:23
Just clicked. Oh my God lady like she,
05:30
And then she says I did not know that it hit her
05:33
because I thought she just ran.
05:35
There was never ever any intention to do her any harm.
05:39
Then why the fuck did he buy the gun?
05:42
I mean, self defense.
05:43
But yeah, it's just honestly,
05:45
it doesn't add up to me.
05:46
And I honestly think that excuse my language,
05:50
this bitch decided to go off with this documentary because she's scared
05:55
shitless of what the people are gonna do to her in 2025
05:58
when she's released. If I were you,
06:00
I'd stay. But it's interesting because you're saying about the people
06:04
right? So she's saying that she was convicted by public
06:07
opinion before the trial even started.
06:09
So again, people had already their assumptions and stuff without hearing
06:12
her own, like part of the story.
06:14
Think about it guys,
06:15
she took up this whole time being in jail to make up
06:20
a story and then bring it out.
06:23
I don't know. I don't,
06:24
no, no, here's a cherry on top.
06:28
She talks about Selena,
06:29
allegedly having an affair?
06:32
Mhm. And she kept it a secret for her but I
06:36
don't get where the shooting comes in.
06:39
this don't make sense.
06:40
This does not make sense.
06:42
And it's like her side of the story would have came out
06:44
because she would have told a family member and that flat family
06:47
member would have told like would have talked to the media or
06:51
this does not make sense.
06:54
I don't know. I think maybe we just,
06:55
that's like the rest.
06:57
Boca Senora Conto Dores anyways.
07:02
Moving on breaking news guys,
07:11
Jenny, everybody watching at home.
07:12
I need you guys to listen to this because this is the
07:14
news that you guys are waiting for.
07:16
So today is Wednesday,
07:17
February 21st, the day.
07:19
That bad bunny officially kicks off his tour in Salt Lake City
07:22
I'm being a Chismosa that I am I was online and I
07:25
was like, let me check out the tickets because as we
07:27
all know when they dropped,
07:28
they were crazy like I'm talking about $700 for like the 100
07:32
section which is like the first section above,
07:34
right? Anyway, crazy prices people were complaining about like
07:37
bad bunny, you know,
07:38
like, have you forgotten about your demographic who you're selling to
07:42
who consumes your music,
07:44
And so the tickets didn't sell.
07:46
So again, I go on Ticketmaster because I'm like,
07:48
ok, first day of this tour,
07:50
like, what does this look like?
07:51
And you guys the tickets dropped?
07:55
Ok. I am literally on the Ticketmaster website right now.
07:58
Oh my God, literally,
08:00
I'm on the Ticket Master website.
08:02
And what does the blue mean,
08:03
Jess? What does the blue mean?
08:04
The blue means that there's seats available,
08:06
right? So look at all of that blue.
08:08
O look at all of that blue.
08:09
There's that many seats available and guess what?
08:13
You see what's selected there?
08:14
Section 17. That means that's the first section right at like
08:17
on the risers, right?
08:19
You see that price right there.
08:20
$328. If you don't go,
08:25
$328. When these tickets,
08:27
Jenny were selling for like $700.
08:31
I'm so shocked. So then I was like,
08:34
you know what? Let me go look at L A and
08:36
guess who also still has tickets available?
08:39
The Kardashian Jenner Curse is real L A also has seats available
08:45
and also starting at $280 are you freaking kidding me?
08:51
Right now? What's going on,
08:52
Jess? What is going on?
08:56
Why do you think that inflation or what?
08:58
What honestly, like,
09:00
I can't even tell you,
09:02
I really don't even know.
09:03
I feel like maybe because the tickets didn't sell as much as
09:06
they expected them to.
09:08
they're kind of like,
09:09
ok, well, we don't wanna be singing and performing in
09:11
an empty arena so they're reducing the prices.
09:15
some of these even say resale.
09:17
ok, well, people like kind of out of luck,
09:20
you know what I mean?
09:21
Like they spent all of this money and like how like I
09:24
just, there's just so much going through my mind right now
09:26
and I really, I'm hitting on my home girls because I
09:29
guess we're going to the L A show too.
09:31
Fuck, dude. So this is gonna be un Verano seen
09:35
bad bunny because no one's gonna go see it.
09:37
Apparently. I don't know Nadia Pasar.
09:42
we might have some more news coming.
09:48
are we gonna go now to all because it's so cheap?
09:55
Oh, j what are you doing here about to catch a
09:58
flight? You already know what's inside my maleta.
10:02
Well, what's inside Tra De Bano?
10:05
Some fruit and whatever my mom and Tias asked for back home
10:11
Yeah. How about you.
10:11
What do you pack inside of yours?
10:12
Well, it depends on where I'm going.
10:15
usually it's to the beach like Mexico.
10:18
I'll do my bathing suit sunglasses,
10:22
maybe some hats. I have quite a lot.
10:25
Actually, I'm not the type to pack light.
10:27
Well, Jenny, I have bad news.
10:30
I'm gonna disappoint you abuela because it's gonna cost you.
10:33
Now, American Airlines announced on Tuesday changes to its baggage policy
10:38
increasing the fees for checked bags.
10:40
American also made several other changes to its policy and fees so
10:45
they're affecting your wallet and pissing your Abuela off.
10:50
Fuck dude, they always do this shit like always all of
10:54
them let's see how bad it is.
10:58
Let's see how bad how much money you need.
11:00
Oh shoot. Oh damn I got you I got you with
11:05
Ok first bag for American Airlines 35.
11:08
That's not bad. It's not bad.
11:10
2nd 45 at the airport 40 ok so it seems like they're
11:15
punishing you for checking in at the airport so like you better
11:19
check in you better do your shit in time like so jetblue
11:24
first bag 35 2nd 50 grandma's not seeing that.
11:30
She's not seeing that coffee because they always mean Cargan was.
11:37
Oh ok. First bag zero second bag zero third bag 125
11:43
All right never getting a third bag from me.
11:48
I'll pack light if I Yeah dude that's crazy.
11:52
That is another flight frontier.
11:55
Oh, this one's gonna be bad.
11:56
I fucking, I know it.
12:01
The, the 59 is almost like disrespectful right before check in
12:05
$75. What does that even mean?
12:08
It means like the 24 hours before the flight,
12:12
if you waited until then to buy it,
12:13
it's gonna be 75 and then if you didn't do anything at
12:16
all, it's 99 at the airport.
12:18
Sorry, Tia, I am not taking your in carcass no
12:20
more. It is getting pricey.
12:22
What's the craziest thing you've taken for your family members back home
12:26
I wanna say my mom really packed a bag of rice
12:30
I'm like, they don't sell rice over there.
12:31
Why are we taking rice from here?
12:34
I think one time she put like a block of cheese,
12:36
she put the cheese in my Nintendo and it like melted inside
12:40
the inside the system.
12:42
So it was like I spent the whole summer out there with
12:44
no video games and yeah,
12:47
imagine having to call Nintendo and be like,
12:49
yo, I got cheese in my system.
12:52
Can I get my money back?
12:53
And here's my mom because I'm 10.
12:57
Well, the cheese story.
13:00
I have Tortas from Mexico.
13:02
My so my cousin she brought back a shit load of Tortas
13:05
from over there for,
13:06
for me. But what's your favorite?
13:10
Definitely flying. It looks like jetblue.
13:15
I like jetblue. They have Direct TV.
13:17
Yeah, I like jetblue,
13:18
I volunteer for the emergency room.
13:21
Oh, yeah, they ask you for the safety.
13:24
that's why I go in early even though I don't know what
13:27
I would do during an emergency.
13:28
No, I don't think I could pull that door.
13:30
I'm like y'all all fucked.
13:33
That door is not opening.
13:35
Oh, damn. Don't go on a flight with this guy
13:46
sister for generations. We've always heard of El Sereno.
13:50
Sereno. Did you ever hear that growing up?
13:52
I have brother but you know what?
13:54
My mom didn't really call it El Sereno.
13:57
no. And de la los las Patas des Calas or like
14:02
yeah, or like con El Pelo mu or whatever.
14:05
That's what she would say.
14:07
I mean El Credo technically translates to like the do like that
14:10
like the mist the morning mist.
14:12
And I think even like back in the day it was like
14:15
So like El Sereno is gonna get you.
14:16
It's like it's a person.
14:18
Yeah, exactly. Guard.
14:20
But El Sereno gets you sick,
14:22
right? That's the myth.
14:23
So here to talk to us today about how El Sereno affects
14:27
our abi ability to fight off.
14:29
Infer Meades is a Lexus and urban of foods and medicine.
14:34
We got professionals in the building.
14:39
How's it going? Hey,
14:40
what's up guys? And thank you guys for having us on
14:42
here. We're really excited.
14:44
No. Yeah, thank you.
14:45
I mean, the honor is all ours.
14:46
again, we've heard our stories from our moms,
14:49
doesn't poo poo. But like,
14:51
what's actually true and what's actually just kind of like an old
14:55
urban myth or legend?
14:56
Exactly. Like, what's the science behind why this happens?
15:03
we, we still don't have our M DS,
15:05
so we are still not fully licensed doctors yet.
15:09
But I mean, we do study a lot and we learn
15:12
all these things and we learn so many things and we look
15:14
through so many studies.
15:16
we grew up in Mexican households.
15:17
So we always heard these myths.
15:20
you know, like even recently,
15:22
like the last time my parents visited me a couple of months
15:24
ago, they were like,
15:28
like whatever, blah,
15:29
blah, blah, you know,
15:30
but as you guys pointed out,
15:31
there was a study that you guys kind of highlighted in our
15:34
nostrils and like in our whole body and everything,
15:37
we have ways to fight off infections,
15:39
right? And this would be our immune system as we know
15:43
And basically like what they found in this study is that
15:46
when there's, when it's cold outside or when you're in cold
15:49
temperatures,, our immune system isn't working as well.
15:53
And so it has a harder time basically fighting off some of
15:56
these infections. So,
15:57
like the viruses and stuff.
15:58
I think one important thing to point out though is does the
16:02
sereno cause, you know,
16:04
you being sick and there's a difference between correlation and causation.
16:10
you know, like it's not necessarily saying,
16:13
you're gonna get sick or the wetness makes you sick.
16:16
It's more of a correlation,
16:17
right? When it's cold outside,
16:19
our immune system doesn't work as well.
16:21
So we tend to get sick.
16:23
That makes sense. See,
16:24
my mom never explained it like that.
16:27
A Ociii I studied for accounting sister.
16:33
they were talking about Sereno,
16:35
I'm getting sick. Alexis.
16:39
What about our mom's remedios?
16:41
Do they actually work?
16:42
Yeah, from personal experience,
16:44
I would say that it does work because every time my mom
16:46
will cook up like a car or she'll give me like,
16:48
you know, drink this for some reason.
16:53
I don't think there,
16:54
there's any, like scientific research out there yet behind that
16:59
as like providers and stuff.
17:00
I mean, Irvin mentioned we're not like licensed yet but,
17:03
you know, we still like read up on like,
17:05
how can we recommend like certain things,
17:08
you know, easy things that you can do to just feel
17:09
better, which is eating like a,
17:11
like hot soup, like warm drinks.
17:14
if you have a sore throat like gargling salt water
17:18
staying hydrated, things like that.
17:20
Those are all things that can definitely make us feel better and
17:22
help our immune system kind of revamp itself and,
17:25
and you know, help fight off like whatever viral illness is
17:28
going on and things like that.
17:29
The tequila does tequila like taking a shot of tequila.
17:33
Does it help with the sore throat too?
17:34
Because I know I had to do that one.
17:39
You know what that one?
17:41
Nome la say. But I do know that I think alcohol
17:46
increases like your body temperature,
17:48
like your internal body temperature.
17:50
So maybe there's something,
17:51
you know, that's another research that I and I are gonna
17:53
have to do. You got,
17:55
bro. We like you guys too.
17:57
The journal of, of Foods.
17:59
It's like the caldo remedies,
18:00
the tequila remedies like that's it.
18:02
We got some testing to do.
18:04
Let me know if you guys need some lab rats and the
18:08
whole Latino community fund it.
18:12
thank you guys for these tips.
18:13
We're definitely gonna keep it in mind for our routines like
18:15
you said the caldo all that stuff and then just keeping
18:18
our bodies warm and fighting the cold off.
18:20
So and where can people find you online?
18:22
Just so they can also keep up with the foods.
18:24
Yeah, you guys can look us up on,
18:26
we're on Instagram and Tik Tok and youtube foods and medicine.
18:31
Yeah, we're gonna have a lot of more of these informational
18:33
videos for a H out there,
18:35
you know, like giving advice,
18:37
tips, hopefully, you know,
18:38
so all of our people can stay healthy out there,
18:40
you know. So please make sure to check us out
18:42
now. Yeah, health is wealth.
18:45
Thank you. Thank you.
18:47
Sorry, I keep calling you fo I just like it and
18:48
then there's fools and medicine.
18:49
That's it. Thank you guys for having us.
18:52
We appreciate it. Thank you guys.
18:59
Hey, sister. Did you hear about the drama with Warner
19:01
Brothers? I haven't,
19:04
Well, they had a fully finished film Coyote versus Acme.
19:07
You know why the Coyote,
19:08
right? And they just decided to shove it.
19:11
It's never gonna come out.
19:13
Like, what do you mean?
19:14
Like it's never gonna come out like it's just never gonna come
19:17
out. They made the whole movie but it's never gonna hit
19:20
theaters and is it a waste of money?
19:24
I mean, there's like a tax write off element to it
19:26
So people think that might be a big reason.
19:29
But yeah, it's and it's not the first time Warner
19:32
Brothers does this. Actually,
19:32
they did it with Bat Girl back a few years ago.
19:35
Is that what happened in Bad Girl?
19:37
I thought, I thought that they just canceled it.
19:39
I didn't know that they,
19:41
they made the movie and it never came out,
19:44
but again, there's so many moving parts to this.
19:46
Is it Hollywood? Is it the,
19:48
the tax write off government regardless?
19:51
We're actually gonna have Texas State Congressman,
19:53
Joaquin Castle join us to break down this whole Warner Brothers debacle
20:00
Oh, sorry, Congressman.
20:03
Thank you. Good to be with you.
20:05
You actually tweeted the other day about the Warner Brothers decision.
20:08
Can you break down your tweet for us?
20:10
you know, and this problem that you see is,
20:13
is larger than even just this one movie.
20:16
It's really like this predatory,
20:19
anti, competitive, really anti worker practice that has existed in
20:24
Hollywood for some time.
20:25
But Warner Brothers, Discovery has really started doing it and using
20:30
it more often which is,
20:31
they'll, they'll make,
20:36
it'll be in post production and they will decide that instead of
20:41
putting it in movie theaters or putting on streaming platforms,
20:45
they're just gonna shelve it and they're gonna take a ta
20:47
a big tax break without ever giving those content creators or
20:52
the performers a chance to to earn residuals,
20:56
which is part of the standard contracts in Hollywood.
20:59
And also with a film like batgirl,
21:01
they did the same thing to batgirl and that was gonna be
21:04
the first Latina superhero who was leading a superhero movie when these
21:09
companies like Warner Brothers Discovery when they go try to merge with
21:12
other companies that the Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission
21:17
that reviews and decides whether to sue to block these mergers,
21:22
that they should take a look at those predatory practices and,
21:26
and given the huge investment in these projects,
21:28
wouldn't studios want to release the movie,
21:31
I mean, the actors and everyone involved.
21:35
with this last one with the Coyote movie,
21:38
for example, it was reported that the head of the company
21:41
David Zasloff and some of the people right below him never even
21:45
watched the movie to make a business decision about whether it was
21:51
actually worth releasing or not.
21:55
sometimes it's that they want to go in a different direction because
21:58
the movie was green lit by the previous CEO or the
22:02
previous administration. And so,
22:04
you know, so it's not their thing.
22:05
And so they don't want to do it,
22:07
so it comes down to a lot of different things,
22:09
but it's not always this strategic business decision that the companies
22:14
make it out to and you said,
22:15
and so it seems like the studio holds obviously most of the
22:17
power, but is there anything that us consumers can do to
22:21
help get these products out there instead of just again,
22:24
the one side just deciding,
22:26
no, it's not going out.
22:27
Consumers have a big role to play and have a big voice
22:30
and I've seen it all over social media I saw with Back
22:33
with this latest looney tunes movie that there are big fan
22:37
bases for these films and people should speak up and they should
22:42
speak up not only to Warner Brothers Discovery and the other companies
22:46
that are doing this but also to the federal government that
22:49
reviews mergers when they come forward.
22:52
And then remember ultimately,
22:54
you know, consumers have a choice about whether they go to
22:57
a film or not and about whether they subscribe to max
23:02
or some other platform or not.
23:04
So there's a way to voice your strong opinion and perspective.
23:09
in your lane of Congress,
23:10
what could legislation do to help this,
23:12
like not happen anymore?
23:15
I think as this practice continues,
23:16
it's worth the Congress taking a look at the tax policy
23:21
that allows for this.
23:22
Now we have taken an initial look and the tax,
23:29
I don't wanna say loophole but benefit that they're taking advantage
23:32
of as a company applies,
23:34
not only to entertainment or media companies but to other companies as
23:39
like these contracts are structured different in entertainment,
23:44
like the way that content creators and actors and others make some
23:48
of their money is on the back end.
23:50
In other words, it happens when the,
23:52
when the movie is released and then they make residuals,
23:56
for example, and it helps them,
23:58
especially if they're small bit actors,
24:00
it helps them build their resume,
24:02
you know. And so there's different considerations I think for the
24:06
entertainment industry and we have one more question for you.
24:10
who do you identify with more coyote or roadrunner?
24:15
You know, I'm gonna say the,
24:18
Oh, man, that's good.
24:21
we appreciate your time again.
24:22
It seems like there's a lot of moving pieces to this
24:25
a lot of gray areas.
24:26
But again, hopefully it doesn't keep happening because it seems
24:29
like it's just an easy.
24:30
No, we're gonna shove this.
24:31
there's so much people attached to this project that never can see
24:34
their work, put on display for their friends and family to
24:36
see and the whole world to see it kinda,
24:39
it's a little part of my friend,
24:45
absolutely. And for,
24:47
and for Latinos, this is already an industry that's fairly exclusive
24:52
that has not been one that's been welcoming to Latino
24:56
content creators. And so,
24:58
you know, that's been a challenge as well.
25:00
Definitely. And it's sort of the best way for people to
25:02
reach out to you and keep updates on you or Instagram,
25:05
which social platform would be best.
25:07
Yeah. I'm on Instagram on Twitter or X on Facebook
25:12
on threats on a bunch of congressmen.
25:14
Well, thanks for your time.
25:15
Thank you. Take care of people are gonna be skeptical to
25:19
work with Warner Brothers because it's gonna be like,
25:21
oh, well, is it gonna even be like it's gonna
25:23
they're gonna have that hesitation,
25:25
you know, it's crazy.
25:27
They, they need a Warner brother.
25:30
What if you see that side?
25:33
Warning brother for real brother?
25:40
Hey, brother, the beard looks like it keeps you nice
25:47
it does. I'm gonna shave it in a minute.
25:49
So I feel like I feel,
25:50
I feel pretty naked and cold without it.
25:53
Well, it, it kind of reminded me,
25:56
like I read something about a sweater made of human
25:59
hair going viral, like beard hair or like,
26:02
yeah, like, like like human hair,
26:04
you know, like it's like a,
26:05
a sweater like this.
26:07
But imagine it having like human hair.
26:11
Is that like weird or,
26:12
I mean, it's interesting.
26:14
I mean, we wear like other stuff made of fur and
26:16
stuff. So it's kind of the same.
26:18
It's interesting. Right.
26:19
I've never heard of such a thing,
26:20
but we have Nicolas Rivero from the Washington Post here to give
26:25
us the scoop on this human hair sweater.
26:31
Thank you for having me.
26:35
a sweater made of human hair.
26:39
So there's a start up out of the Netherlands that is working
26:43
on making fabric for clothing could also be like for furniture or
26:48
other kind of textiles out of human hair?
26:50
Wow. And why are people trying to make,
26:54
you know, sweaters or fabric out of human hair?
26:57
The woman who started the start up,
26:58
her name is Sophia Collar and basically she was at the barbershop
27:03
at the hair salon and she was looking at all of the
27:06
hair that was getting swept away into the trash and thinking there's
27:09
probably a way to use this this thing that we think
27:13
in a way that is more sustainable than just sending it into
27:17
a landfill or into a trash incinerator.
27:19
I saw an estimate that it's something like 32 tons of human
27:22
hair getting thrown out every day,
27:24
like just in the US and Canada.
27:25
So it's all out of this stuff and if you could figure
27:27
out something to do with it,
27:29
you could avoid a lot of waste and potentially do
27:32
something interesting with it.
27:34
Like make clothing out of it.
27:35
Interesting. Have you tried on one of these sweaters?
27:38
I have not. So she's over there in the Netherlands.
27:41
But I have seen pictures of some of the fabrics they've
27:44
made and some of the clothes they've made out of it and
27:47
it is freaky almost how normal they look like.
27:51
This doesn't look like something very out of the ordinary.
27:54
It looks like any other kind of piece of fabric made out
27:57
of wool or cotton or something like this.
28:01
she, she tells me it basically feels like wool.
28:04
I mean, I feel like I've,
28:06
you know, people recycling water bottles and it's like stuff that
28:09
doesn't look like a water bottle.
28:10
So I'm like, there's a water bottle in there,
28:12
you know, or it made out of water bottle was somehow
28:15
decomposed. I don't know.
28:17
So, II I can see that.
28:22
it's not just like raw human hair.
28:24
Like she, the whole innovation here is she's finding ways to
28:27
process the hair and basically treat it with chemicals.
28:29
So it changes a little bit the texture so that she can
28:32
work with it. Like in a spinning,
28:34
she can spit in the thread in the darn,
28:36
and they can dye any color and basically treat it
28:39
like any other kind of thread.
28:40
That's cool. And be honest.
28:43
Do you think people actually go for these sweaters?
28:45
I feel like right off the bat human hair sweaters.
28:48
Do you think people are gonna be like,
28:49
ah, what do you think it's a little more expensive to
28:53
make this fabric anyway?
28:54
Because she's just starting it out.
28:56
she's doing it super small batches.
28:58
So it's like more expensive than working with wool or cotton or
29:00
polyester. So that's a barrier.
29:02
But the way she's trying to deal with it is her first
29:06
launch of clothing made out of this material is with this kind
29:10
of high end fashion house where,
29:12
you know, they're basically using this as a selling point to
29:15
say, like if you want to be sustainable,
29:17
if you want a really interesting piece of clothing,
29:19
that's also gonna be like a,
29:20
a conversation starter, then you can buy this and that's kind
29:23
of a foothold to show,
29:25
you know, kind of a proof of concept this could work
29:28
and then she's trying to expand it out from there.
29:30
Oh, that's interesting.
29:31
Well, I can't wait to see where it may go and
29:33
to see other brands probably incorporate this new,
29:37
you know, form of making fabric.
29:39
That's awesome. And thank you so much.
29:42
And where can we find you?
29:43
Oh, yeah, I'm on Twitter at Nicolas F Rivera or
29:46
I'm at the Washington Post.
29:47
You can find me here writing about climate change solutions like sweaters
29:52
made out of human hair and other things that are a little
29:54
more normal. You said Nicholas foo,
29:57
you're a fool. Exactly.
30:00
My middle name is Fun Xia,
30:01
but the whole thing didn't fit.
30:07
I like that. That awesome cool Nicolas.
30:10
Well, we'll keep an eye on this and hopefully next time
30:12
we see you might be rocking the sweater yourself and you know
30:14
we'll get your own video via review.
30:17
It's the next hot thing.
30:20
Thank you Nicholas. Thank you.
30:22
Thank you. Thank you.
30:25
