Hello, thank you so much for having me.

Welcome. We're so thrilled to help you.

Speaker 6 (00:56):
Wow, this crowd, that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
We keep them here for when we shoot lock up
the door.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
So, Jenny, welcome back to Miami. I know that you've
left left the la, you left left us out.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
We are so happy to have you with us today,
not just because of what you do for the culture,
what you do for our personal lives, all the humors
that you spread and the joy, but just because you're
an all around awesome person who really contributes and we're
glad to share this space with you.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Yeah, and you're close to my height, so it makes
me feel intimidated.

Speaker 6 (01:33):
No, I'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Six to one, all right, five to two.

Speaker 6 (01:37):
I'm five to one. Okay, Oh god, so you're like
a little taller, but then I with the dogs. Yeah,
five three, that's fine.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
I also want to say that the love that you
have for your grandparents and like our culture is something
that we talk about often is not seen when you
leave Miami or when you leave Latin communities, and that's
really cool and really important.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
And I did the same thing with my grandma and
Pa Canse. She was a rapper.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
I don't know if you ever saw her, Yeah, but
I miss her all the time. And you doing what
you do keep them alive for so many people.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
So I thank you so much for that, for that
is precisely what I set out to do. So it's
nice when people tell me that, yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, you achieved your goal.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Fisher, thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Did you Auela inspire this character? Thisela character that I mean,
you have so many characters.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
Yes, in my videos, there's like eight set characters that
I play. But then now I'm part of a UCB
team that is called Betty after Betty White, and so
it's just a way for me to keep developing new characters.
So that's what I've been doing this year. And what's
UCB upright Citizens Brigade. So it's one of the most

(02:49):
like one of the more popular like improv comedy schools,
and venues, and there's one in New York and then
also in LA.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
I was about to ask because I know that I'm sure,
like I've heard you talk about the ground Links and
things like that and really interested from the you know,
Miami girl gone to La. Right, do you feel like
there are any spaces in comedy for not only Latinos
but Latin women?

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Right?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Like?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
How is it?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
What's the difference? You feel like? Is there an improv
group for Latinos?

Speaker 6 (03:20):
Like? Yeah, yeah, it's all been more recent, I would say.
When I first moved to LA in twenty fifteen, I
felt very outnumbered in like Groundlings, for example, it was
very white and even though I am white passing, my
humor is not. It is very ethnically inclined, and don't

(03:41):
say they don't like my humor or. It wasn't understood
or accepted. So it was usually me and my husband
who were like the only Latinos in the class.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I have.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
Bigger hopes these days for Latinos in comedy in those
spaces that were predominantly white for so long, because I
would go to like again, I went to Groundlings first
because they were character forward. I'm a character actor. I
like I like sketch more than I do improv, and
so I was like this is where I gotta go.

(04:14):
But when I go see like their shows, it was
like all white people, like maybe like one black actor.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
I was like like no Asian actors, like no Latino representation,
no representation, Like it was just very copy paste typical
like white male comedy. And I'm not saying it wasn't funny,
but I'm just like, damn, dude, A bit tired.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
I mean I feel like sometimes and maybe I'm wrong,
Like now Marcello on SNL, right, Miami boy, Yeah, super proud,
super awesome, and then I get nervous or every time
I'm watching, I'm watching to see like are they going
to make him a gimmick?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
A gimmick?

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Right, Like there was one sketch, which, again I think
he's super talented. It's nothing against him at all, he
rips it. But like there's one schedu where like they're
all towel boys and like you know, they're doing like
a Latin accent and whatever and to a Latino, I
didn't find it funny at all because they're not actually
playing to our humor.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
It's the white white.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Audiences, Like I know, like for right, sounds a lot, right,
So that's my fear. It's like, oh, yay, let's celebrate
this and let's get more of us out there. But
then like we're not a joke, you know, and and
we can teach you about certain cultural things you know
that are funny, like Get Past at USA and all
these other shows Holy Grail, right, But like I'm sure
there were I know, there were completely problematic elements about it, right,

(05:38):
So I feel like we can reinvent the things that
we used to watch and made us, you know, have
the humor that we do, but we gotta be careful.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Being out in good old Hollywood. The problem I'm seeing
amongst my peers, TV writers, showrunners, and even myself who
I've also been like in the mix of like trying
to get a show out and all this stuff, is
that they're terrified of portraying Latinos as authentically as possible.
For multitude or reasons. They think there's no audience for it.

(06:10):
They think it's not general market enough. But then at
the same time, you also there's a way to bring
about the flaws of our culture in a non offensive way. Yes,
because no one's gonna buy that, Like, let's say this,
like macho Dominican dad in the eighties is woke, right, Yeah, no,

(06:39):
let's just keep it real right now, Can he have
an arc and stuff? Of course, biddle for them to like.
And then I hear behind the scenes that it's because
the white folks at the top are like no, no,
no no, we need he needs. We can't let Latinos
look bad like when they need to look and they
it's and then it doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, it's frustrating.

Speaker 6 (06:59):
Yeah, so then it's like damn, Like I'm happy that
I get to do whatever the hell I want in
my own videos, but I'm like terrified of like the
transition and how many people I'm gonna have to like
scream at to tell them like this is.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
How it is as women if we scream.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
Anything. I'm like, oh my gosh, it's tough. Yeah, And
I've seen so many of my peers go through it,
both in live action, animation, what have you. It's happened
across the board.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
As a Latin, as a Latin creator. I know that
you've also done voiceover work. How often do you feel
that people approach you for like your guidance or opinion
on a character. Do you ever get to say, you
know what, Hey, this line here is like not legitimate.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
We would never do this. We would never say that.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Like the accuracy.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Are you able?

Speaker 5 (07:51):
Do they allow your input as a as a creator?

Speaker 6 (07:54):
They actually do? That's been if I'm being honest, the
world of animation, it definitely has its. But in terms
of like working directly with the creator, when you're in
the booth with them and they allow you to first
of all, like throw out a Latino accents, There's been
many times what will happen is you get cast as

(08:14):
a character, but then they expect you to play other
roles and then they'll be like, can you come up
with a voice for this character? And like, for example,
in Jellystone, which is the new Hanna Barbara universe, I'm
voicing a lot of characters that used to be men
back in the day.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, that's old school Nickelodeon sh And so one of
them is Hardy Harhar and I voice her like a
little Yehita guana, and the creators like, oh, white dude,
and he was very supportive of that.

Speaker 6 (08:48):
And then in allowing me to voice this like very
Guanita Yahita in this like little old lady body. He
lets me like riff and like improvise and stuff like that.
So across the board, I've played three Latino characters in
different animated series and like the creators always open.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
To fire to that. I want to know. I have
a lot of questions for you. No, let me get okay.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Miami is a very unique place, right and I feel
like you really.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Are a Miami girl. You said you've been in La nine.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Years, almost almost nine years since you've left Miami.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
What has been the biggest change you've seen.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
I'm in the weather.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Girl, the Planets on fire. I mean, I love that
out of all the Miami she picked the weather. I'm
like the traffic people, I guess because like.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Jesus the weather.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
Yes, there are very expensive. There are no pente Miami.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
I know.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
Let's just say that we have to improve Cuban cuisine
on the West coast.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
Yeah, like there's some good Cuban restaurants, Bait or Not,
Cuban bakeries and then.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Was Pine crist Bakery.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Is saying when you were in Miami, you know they're
twenty four hours, right, honey, twenty four hours.

Speaker 6 (10:27):
Is it true that Miami lately has had less and
less of twenty four hour open Yes, after.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
COVID, okay, CBS not twenty four hours anymore.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Walmart is not twenty four hours, which like.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I loved the twenty four hour Walmart.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
Because I used to think, like damn like Miami had
because La everything closes madly right, but now it seems
like it's it's all changing.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Space is still open though. No, not this one though.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
When when oh, I was like, yes, sure love space,
loves Space is still open.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
It's worse than twenty four hours.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
No, no, it's not even still open. It's actually resurface with
a vengeance. It's like a really cool place to be.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
I was like one of the hipster ones. I would
go like Vagabond, shut up.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
I would vagabond electric, pickle electric, where I would go
like wind Wood, Like that's what I liked, and I
loved being able to dress however I wanted.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
I think that for me like win Wood, was what
LA is for me right now, where I can express
myself and not be judged. I think that was a
situation that I experience, And again I don't know if
it's my generation as an elder millennial as an elder,
Yet there was like a lot of people that I

(11:41):
met were more about like what kind of car they drove,
what kind of purse, like you know Louis Vuitton, And
I'm like, okay, and kind of cookie cutter, like in
the way you dressed. And I remember, you know, I'm
a nerd. I would cosplay and like we would do
cosplay events are I have never larped, but I do
play D.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
And d ah. So you're a gamer digital large, I
guess sometimes.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah, I'm a gamers and I thankfully did find my
community like I had my and then I'm still best
friends with them till this day. Like obviously nerds exist
here were hard to find Cuban nerds. Yeah, yeah, and
they're there obviously. But I I remember we did some
cosplay event in South Beach, but it wasn't anywhere near October.

(12:29):
It's like the summer, and I was dressed like Ramona
Flowers and but these like Miami bro skis and like brochinas.
I don't know what to call the girls. I was
calling them, he's brochinas.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I love that, and they were.

Speaker 6 (12:50):
Like, it's not Halloween, Oh my god, it's like, wow,
what it is And I'm just like, yeah, come on,
But in La you can bet goth, black lipsticks, spike hair,
you can be dressed like bugs bunny. No one gives
a ship. It's just like and especially even more so
when you go up to like Portland and see it,

(13:11):
like the West Coast is very much like let your
weird hangout. Who cares? Like you got tattoos, you're gay
as fuck? No one cares because everybody's gay, right, and
so it's just like you to hear first breaking news
everyone's gay on the West Coast. We knew that everyone
heres in a panic now, so that's yeah. So like

(13:34):
I felt less. I feel less judged over there for
being who I am versus Miami. That's why I would
go to the wind Wood scene back then, because I
could go dressed. However, I wanted to like vagabond and
didn't have to go with like right, and I just
it's not I can't.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Went to a place in La what's called good time.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Good Time at Davy Wait Davy Wayne's.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
It's like, oh, you go through like a fridge and
it's like a house that stuck in the seventies and
they only play some music.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
It's school.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
I like that does have a lot of great venues.
They also have a lot of great vegan food. It
is something that Miami's working on, I'm happy to say.
Slowly thinking, what was it like for you when you
changed over to veganism. Did your family give you like
the whole Cuban kicking the butt like minded because.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
They think, well, no, thank god, But that's what a
lot of people think though, Like recently, the last time
I was in Miami was earlier this year, and it
was for some interview and this guy's mom, Cuban mom
was there and she was like, oh, your vegan, and
I'm like yeah. She goes, oh that's good. For a

(14:48):
split second, my brain was like, wow, this is like weird, weird,
and then she followed it with boring but good. Was like,
and I don't stay quiet, So I was like no, Honestly,
there's like a lot of misconceptions about what we eat.
I don't even eat salad, like I hate salad, like

(15:12):
living that like.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
They think we just eat like little guys rabbit food.
That's why please.

Speaker 6 (15:17):
Just google something, just like google a dish like we
eat real good. Mala was already had already passed by
the time I was vegan, so she didn't get to you.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Got you got saved the scolding.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
She would have probably died. I'm like, she would have
freaked out, like that would have been the end in
that moment.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
She would have not been able to like wrap her
mind around that up.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
There, we're vegan.

Speaker 6 (15:54):
Sorry bro, what can we say?

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Sorry? Bro? From where they are now would pick the
vegetables out of her food.

Speaker 6 (16:01):
I know, I didn't learn what most vegetables were until
I moved to a l a a terrible diet.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Cubans don't have a lot of.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Like, oh I got that, like sometimes you got we
would have our root that, yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
We have a root.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Vegetables can constantation, Okay, like that's the most useless.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
Right through literally try.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
I know they know what else to split piece, But
that's not a vegetable.

Speaker 6 (16:41):
That's the lagoons. We were all about the lagome life.
But and I was young. I thought it was normal
to be constipated as a kid, I would not. Yeah,
so every three.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Days me too.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I think that all of Miami still though, Yeah, ass
can't travel when I'm going on a trip, doesn't matter
if I'm still.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Eating, I can't. We know it can't be.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
Everybody in the camp would literally gonna be like I'm
like not yet, sorry, like waiting for me to poop.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Are you?

Speaker 6 (17:06):
Are you someone who's just more comfortable pooping at home?
Is that what it is? Real?

Speaker 3 (17:11):
No? Yah?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Wow, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
I got to get in a passport or so your
butthole at home and if I could.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
I would.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
We're talking like two week long trips sometimes and m is,
there's no help.

Speaker 6 (17:22):
Ever since I got diagnosed, ever since I've had crones,
which is like eight years now, it sucks poop whenever
I gotta go. Yeah, but I'm in remission now.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
There's remission formsion for autumn.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Probably helped a lot of with your diet and your
whatever it is.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
It's taking a lot of work. You know, you have
flare ups and stuff. But I have like a really
good plant based gastro and you know, like it's a
lot of work to maintain. It's annoying, bittle. Yeah, Like
now I don't like I used to be the same way.
I am not poop when I would travel and all
these things. But now I don't know if it's because

(17:56):
I eat way more vegetables. Yeah, yeah, five more five
Like I go every day for sure. Yeah, now you
all know HOWF and I poop. I don't give a ship.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
I'm literally.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
I do give a ship.

Speaker 6 (18:08):
I do. I give you one of the ships, you know.
But I'm also at my age, I'm like, I'm done,
I'm t m I queen, I don't I don't give
a ship. I don't have banna. You know. That was
another thing that I experienced a lot in Miami, mostly
from like the older generation, was everything was like that,

(18:28):
I don't say anything, people don't.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Know, and it's like the guilt.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
And I was like, no, who cares?

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yea literally everyone, And if you care, then you're caring
more than I do because I don't give.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
I saw, by the way, not only in your YouTube channel,
which is amazing, you have, you show a lot of
your process, right, And I was curious because I saw
that there are full.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Blown scripts on the table.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
And I feel like, you know, you called yourself an
elder millennial and we're like joking about it or whatnot,
but you're in a really unique spot because I feel
like you were kind of in the ground when this
social media like viral YouTube moment kind of blasted, but
still like on this fresh up and up that like
continues to change and everything and like your own boss

(19:36):
and whatnot. So I'm wondering how was that transition for you,
and like, you know, how is it that you keep
creating all your content in house?

Speaker 3 (19:46):
You know, like what kind of help do you have?

Speaker 4 (19:48):
And then also like what kind of advice and what
do you see for the future of this, Like oh man,
the light question for the light and slight look quish.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
And so I remember YouTube becoming a thing when I
was in high school, and I really admired a lot
of the earlier creators and I was like, damn, like
that's so cool that they're putting themselves out there. But
you know, I didn't have the money to buy equipment
or anything like that. But I did make the decision

(20:22):
to go to film school after I got my theater degree,
So I went to the University of Miami Hey, And
then that really helped me because till this day, I
work with a lot of my peers. They a lot
of them moved to LA I'm actually in the middle
of creating a short film with my friend Andy Rovera.
We went to school together, and that's where I really

(20:45):
learned how to write for sketch comedy. I worked for
my college comedy shows head writer, and that's when I
really was like, okay, and I really fell in love
with editing. I love editing. I edit all my own videos. Yeah,
I'm also control freak.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
We just high fived.

Speaker 6 (21:05):
And yeah, and so that kind of brought me when
me and my husband decided that's it, we got to
move to LA. That's when BuzzFeed was popping off, and
I was like, if I'm going to get a job
anywhere in LA, I wanted to be BuzzFeed because you
get to do everything. You get to edit, produced, direct,

(21:26):
and it felt like you were thrown back into film school.
So I relearned a lot of things. I got better
at things that really helped me. And that's when the
whole bittle like thing started. And that's where I truly
found my calling because I was doing YouTube. I started
YouTube in twenty eleven. Wow, okay, but it had nothing
to do with what I do now. It was it

(21:47):
was me just reviewing like video games, comics, movie yes, yeah,
I really am kidding and it was but then towards
the end of my time on that other channel, I
did start doing like the Q and Oeta stuff because
that was always in me, even when, like you, even

(22:08):
when I was at UM, a lot of my sketch
comedy videos were related to like our culture. But it
wasn't until I got to BuzzFeed where it really felt
like you were in a freaking crazy reality show. Was
so stressed. That's when my symptoms for crones started. So
I was like, oh, it was just like so much that.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
We brought it on because your gut and your.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
Yeah something it was. There was no work life balance.
It was competitive because you were an intern and you
had to keep proving yourself before you got a salary job.
So you had to like go viral, You had to
try different formats, you had to like sell your soul
essentially wow, and it was a lot, and then you
had to like prove that you could go viral, but

(22:50):
also prove that you had a unique voice in the company.
And at the time, there weren't a lot of Latinos
in the company in general, So me and my friend Jasmine,
who's Mexican from the Bay Area, we're the ones that
we were part of the same internship class and we're like, yo,
we got to do some Latino shit. And I'm not
saying it was easy. We were met with a lot

(23:10):
of gaca.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm sure.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Everywhere. I tell people, bro, it's not just a Hollywood
whatever problem. It's it's in the digital space. It's everywhere.
There were people that we had to like pull teeth
and prove to them that there was an audio they
were not also, and we dealt with like racist remarks
and all that shit, and but we did it. We
ended up forming you know, bit alike, which is still

(23:35):
a thing. But I learned early on the struggle of
proving yourself as a Latina and that our stories are
worth it from the get go.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
And a lot of people, I think have a misconception
when it comes to being a content creator because they
only see the finished product. And I love that you
share the process because people don't realize that as a
content creator, you're not just the person who puts forth
the ideas. You're oftentimes a cameraman, an editor, a writer,
a copywriter. There's so many hats that you have to

(24:08):
play in order to work in this world.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
Yeah, it's funny because I was even the case for
us at BuzzFeed. We were just a small team and
we were trying so hard to make sure all Latinos
fault represented, not just like a specific group, and sometimes
we were met with comments like, oh, how come you
guys aren't doing videos about Ecuadorians or you know, thinking
that we were like a group of thirty people and

(24:32):
Biddle like was like five or six of us. And
so with my own content, thankfully, you know, when you
curate your own audience, it's different. You kind of form
like a family. It's very different from working for a
giant digital media platform like BuzzFeed or Me Too. But

(24:53):
essentially my team is just me and my producing partner,
Kevin Bosch, who is Venezuelan Colombian and he's Miami also
and he moved a couple of years after me, and
we just clicked in terms of like writing styles because
for the for the you know, a little bit there
I was after I left the digital media space in
terms of these big companies, I was only on my

(25:16):
own for about a year and then we just he
just really understood the whole all wit Oss family dynamic,
and like he really helps me tell these stories so
we Yeah, we fully write scripts like we get together,
we brainstorm, we write scripts. Our videos are quite long.
I don't know what happened to my throat.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
There quite long need to do.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
And yeah, so right now, like for a majority of
our videos, Kevin films everything, does lighting, runs sound, co
writes with me, co directs with me, and I edit,
do all the sound design, and do all the social media.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Wow, good team.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
I mean, you guys are well an act that part characters.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
It's such a joy to also be able to work
with your friends. Yeah, and like continue to discover more
and more extremely talented people that you can put in
the universe, and like it's it's so much fun.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Yeah, you know, it sounds like fun when you find
people that are in it for the right reason and
you can grow together. Yeah, it's special because and also
I feel like I've been blessed, like to see that
around me, like couples or friends that work together have
businesses and like Gemini, you.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Know, yeah, there are days that she wants to.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Tie me to a flagpole, hoist me up there and
leave me for there for a while. And it's totally
plausible because I'm smarts, like fag on a flag anyway, God, just.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Wait canceled. Guys, Come on, you've been quiet so long.
Don't laugh now.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
They get they haven't laughed at all until this anyway.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
But yeah, I wouldn't trade it for anything, because we've
also had an artist, like there's an amazing musician, Alan Stone,
who we love, who was on the podcast and I
was so surprised by so many of his answers and
one of them, I was like, how do you stay
like excited and fresh and working? And He's like, I
book collaborations with people that I love and respect because

(27:34):
brings the best out of me, keeps me accountable because
I'll quicker let myself.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Down, then I'll let them down.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
You know, Yes, but you know I feel like I
don't know, and sometimes I'm like very open and I'll
let people in.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
I've gotten burned quite a bit too.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
That's happened to me as well. I think it just
comes with the territory. It's hard because.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Especially as creatives, to where we're used to collaborative work.
But I think that you probably relate to this, and
Em and I have discussed this a lot. Before we
did creative things for money, we did creative things for
the purpose of creating right and so we were used
to collaborating with people and everyone being involved in giving
and then well you grow up and yes you have

(28:15):
bills and it changes things.

Speaker 6 (28:18):
It's hard, man, because I tried to give people the
benefit of the doubt and people are very complex and
I've definitely gone down the rabbit hole of one of
my ADHD things of like hyper focusing on a subject
and like human psychology has always been one for me.
And because you do, especially out in Hollywood, you do
come across certain personalities. I think that's in general for

(28:41):
the entertainment industry, right, it attracts certain types of folks.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Certainly somebody that we know called them what they called me.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
The day satellites, Oh satellites.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Isn't that a good way to describe those people?

Speaker 6 (28:58):
Yeah, man, like you can. It's like I feel the
energy too. And I'm not trying to sound all woo
because we're gay. We are I freaking okay, we're super woo.
With my crystals on my sage, Yes, it's true though
I have always like ignored my gut and then I
have like my aila like on my shoulder, like they're here.
They didn't be because be gay because I was. I

(29:21):
was an ugly kid. I was awkward as ship. No
tits still don't got tits.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Let's bump chest, it'll hurt God.

Speaker 6 (29:32):
Cracks my fibrocystic crust and like, I don't know, Like
I'm not trying to hate on myself, but I was
very realistic as a kid, and like my grandma always
be like, no, they didn't be that, they didn't be
thea And I'm like, okay, like sure, but people really
do run off on jealousy a lot and do things

(29:53):
that are irrational and bizarre, and You're just like, what
is going on? So yeah, like you guys, I've been
burned a good number of times. People will take advantage totally.
And it's hard because I don't know. It's just like
I don't want to change who I am.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
Culturally as Cubans, I mean, we grew you grew up
in Miami, Okay, so we grew up here, but we
know I believe it comes in our blood. Maybe it's genetic,
but our culture, especially like actual Cubans on the Island,
is that of like leaving your front door open and
being very inviting and welcoming to anybody that walks through
the door. So I think that we sort of expect

(30:35):
that we're all like that, and we're just not. I
it's so hard, But you said, it's something that I
tell them all the time. I don't want that to
change me who I really am, Like, I want to
keep being the person who holds the door open.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
I got to figure out how to.

Speaker 6 (30:49):
I know it's hard. I've gotten better at trying to
like set boundaries, which I know is such like a
TikTok word.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Now, but it's true Latinos, that's something that we don't have.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
No, we don't know and especially women like oh, like
I've learned how to write my emails more efficiently every
time I'm like tempted to say I'm sorry, I'm like,
thank you for your patient email. With ADHD, I think
growing up but undiagnosed. I got diagnosed in twenty twenty.

(31:20):
Especially in our community, it is often ignored. People are like, well,
you just gotta eat better, and I'm like, what do
you mean for you hold a negati and white rice,
because like that's all you think we should be eating.
And so then there's a lot of stigma around it.
And that I personally grew up thinking ADHD was like
a little boy disease. Yeah, like and annoying, like always

(31:46):
getting injured, being like an asshole, always getting in trouble.
And I had straight a's up until math and science
got hard. And then on top of that, I wasn't
a bad or even a high pactive kid. I talked
a lot same and that's one of the most common
science and I.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Distracted my peers constant talking.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
Talking, and I would come home after school back on
the phone. And so my friend's parents hated me. Oh yeah,
I was like a bad influence. Even though I was
a straight A student, I was a goodie two shoes.
They just thought I was a bad kid because I
was so talkative and I would just want to chat
on the phone all day with my girlfriends and you know,
and I mean, mimy had done school. That's one of

(32:29):
the biggest science biggest differences in boys and girls in school.
Boys are more like physically hyperactive and girls are more
and also we tend to be more daydreamy and doodling
and looking out the window inattentive type ADHD. And so
as you can see, I've also gone down that rabbit hole. Well,

(32:51):
get there was so many things that I would do
my whole life that caused friction between me and others,
me and my partners. Like now I'm like, okay, bro,
it's my brain. It's not me being a jerk. But
then it helps to be aware of it, so I'm
able to like control my reaction at least, not like

(33:12):
if I'm like really down about it, because no matter what,
there's no cure for this, right, So it's like I'm
still gonna feel a type of way, but then I'll
just be like you'll live broad like, you know, like
don't ruin it for the rest because sometimes I'll be
too sulky and I feel like I would bring the
mood down with whoever I was with.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
It's like so many things, so many things.

Speaker 6 (33:33):
So many things. If you think you this applies to anybody,
go get tested. I mean, yeah, you know, because it's
just especially you know how it is our community. No
one talks about. Oh, they don't take it seriously, especially.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Just I love my dad anything eating a cake.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
For me, medication has helped me a lot. I was like,
what the hell doing my whole life without this, and
I'm still learning, Like I learn a lot from my mistakes.
That's just an unfortunate part of having this, you know.
And but I try to be open about it, Like
even if I am hosting a show or something, I
make sure like no, I need to tell a prompter.

(34:16):
Like at the end of the day, it's a disorder
and people need to be you know, there needs to
be accessibility for neurodivergent people. It's just facts, you know,
So don't I know, there's a divide always like don't
tell people you have whatever, And I'm like, why not,
because there's plenty of us that have this. So for

(34:37):
standing up for myself, I'm also helping other people and like,
you know, so I see. And if someone wants to
not hire me because I have ADHD, elemental.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
P you don't want to work there anyway?

Speaker 6 (34:48):
Oh well, like you know, they probably have it and
don't even know.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
Also, like these things they do make us who we are,
right so at the end of the day, you're not
going to be you if this wasn't a part of
who you are.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
It was weird. Like I cried more with my ADHD
diagnosis than my Crohn's diagnosis. But I think it was
a weird mourning for like my younger self, who struggled
so much in school, in relationships and friendships because of
these traits. Even at jobs that I had, like I
would fuck up terribly and and I'm like, how did

(35:28):
I forget that? You know what I'm saying, Like you
feel like you're literally going crazy. And so it's nice
to have answers. And again, when I do do something
that I didn't mean to because of my ADHD traits,
I you know, I'm very transparent about it with people,
but I make sure they know I'm not trying to
excuse myself, but I am giving you the reason behind it.

(35:50):
So because I maybe I care too much what people
think of me, but I don't want people to think
I'm just.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
That's good, right, you know you don't do it harm
to harm.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
Yeah, if if I'm being rude, I want you to
know absolutely from Miami to.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
Be which funny because now very ADHD bringing it back
to like l A differences, It took me many years
to get used to how nice people are on the West.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Wow, you're a judge.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
Maybe in Beverly Hills. You don't say like it's within
the industry maybe, but like y, you're every day like Angelino.
It's just everyone's like angel.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Wait, you can't just skirt over.

Speaker 6 (36:37):
They call themselves Angelina.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Oh this is the really I thought this that you're
referring to like a man too.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
I thought she's like like wait wait wait wait, like
like Fulana hold on like themselves yeah, like Miami, Yeah, wow,
so are you Angelina?

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Are you an Angelino?

Speaker 6 (36:59):
I'm an Angelino? Okay, Wow, Angelina's angelinae. No one's gonna
replace Angelina.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Julia.

Speaker 6 (37:06):
Yeah, she's got battle Yeah. And even in traffic, like
people use their blinkers.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
That's wow, revolutionary.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
People let you merge if you use. You know, people
are more like looking out for you on the road.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
You mean they don't accelerate to barely.

Speaker 6 (37:21):
There's rarely a moment where you see when buppy choo
don't want to be fucking cutting people off on the road.
The moment I got here yesterday, okay, every time and
then it's always my mom bitching, like picking us up
from the airport, and I was like, you know, she's
like fucking whatever, and it's like the same. I wish

(37:42):
I could film it every time and make a compilation. Shit,
every time we land, there's always some fucking people because
I'm gonna be honest, is a guy usually because in
all my car accidents in Miami were due to some
eighteen year old.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Car Moho, listen, were you out there terrorized?

Speaker 6 (37:59):
Listen? Bo I drove a shitty Toyota Corolla from like
you don't say. I had no air conditioning anyway, and
I would always get into fights with Viehles No.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
I understand.

Speaker 6 (38:17):
And then the car accidents were caused by like speed
race or wannabes, little boys. I remember me and my
best friend Patty got into a car accident crossing from
Dolphin to International almost Miami thing you could do. Wow, yeah,
And she was at the at the light at the
front turns green. She even waited went this guy went

(38:39):
hit us. We spun went.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
And it was raining on top of that, and I
remember I had a concussion, like I hit my head,
but my bra snapped in half. Don't ask me how
that happened. Don't ask me, but that shit snapped and
I just had to throw that detail. Why are my dad?
That was like feeling a little free right now.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
The bloody head and your tits out, Oh.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
My God, and I had like major bruce because he
hit me on my side. She was driving, so my
neat whatever, and then she had like neck pain. Only
my mom and her dad show up. This guy who
didn't get hurt at all, his whole Cuban family shoulder
for people.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
For people.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
Okay, they're like I meaning you, like this kid has
and we're the ones like Patty's Patty's being put on
a stretcher and like I have a neck brace and
it's raining, and only like your shirt, Thanks God, I'll
have big tits. In that scenario, that would have been like,
but we're like literally injured his like her car was

(39:52):
smashed in on my side, and this freaking guy had
his whole family show up for him. I'm surprised. I
and bring achena and have a party or the burning car,
and then it turned out that he didn't even have insurance.
Of course, of course.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Okay, you said something earlier that I wanted to come
back to. You mentioned that one of the challenges that
you faced in creating content and trying to be diverse
enough to encompass the Latin community at large, people still,
you know, felt like they weren't being mis represented to
use the example of somebody saying, why aren't you, you know,

(40:49):
displaying Ecuadorian behavior? So for us, you know, as podcast hosts,
as Cuban Americans, we always bring our identity everywhere we go,
but we do experience sometimes people who are frustrated because
we don't cover a certain array of topics, like we
don't usually unless we really feel we want to go

(41:12):
into the political thing. As a creator who believes so
much in forwarding the culture and contributing back, how is
it that you kind of teeter on that. Do you
feel like you have people who kind of I mean,
they come at us all the time like, why aren't
you talking about what's going on in Cuba? Why aren't
talk about what's going on in Venezuela. Why aren't you
doing this? Why aren't you doing that? How do you
balance that massive pressure that the outside world of the

(41:36):
Latino community puts on you knowing that the work that
you're doing is just as valuable.

Speaker 6 (41:42):
Damn it's you know, you know how difficult it is
to be in the middle. I me and Joannah Housman's
share that similarity where she's Venezuelan, but she's also progressed
in the States, and then you are either called.

Speaker 7 (42:06):
Uh a socialist, no communists, yeah, or you're called like
right way, yeah, exactly like and so like the left
who doesn't understand what's really going on in Cuba.

Speaker 6 (42:20):
There's a lot of shockingly so many people, including other
people in Latin America, who think Fidel Castro was like great,
a great guy. And the same with che the shirts
or no. And so then there's that group, right, and
then then there's like my own people who are like
only right. So it's been very difficult. I definitely had

(42:47):
to be more political when I was at METU, and
that didn't go over so well.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (42:54):
And one of the worst videos I ever made was
Aela reacting to Fidel Castro dying.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Why worst for you?

Speaker 6 (43:02):
Reaction reactions from other Latinos No what Yeah, because a
lot of people think Castro was a good person.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
Wow, so you were there was backlash because of the fact.

Speaker 3 (43:16):
That you were like mocking him or whatever.

Speaker 6 (43:19):
No, and it wasn't even a comedy. He was actually
a very serious video. I haven't looked at it in
a long time, but I think it was like me
in the kitchen and like me, me and like a
couple other actor friends of mine, like running the kitchen.
They're like pretending to be my grandkids, and they're like
Auela Fidell died, Like we're gonna go out with our
pots and pans, and then they go off. You hear

(43:41):
them like trail off to celebrate, and then Alwela kind
of has this moment and then it's like a flashback
of like family photos and like you know, the exodus,
and she gets like emotional in her eyes and then
she like grabs a pot and pan.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Like but that's awesome.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Well, you know what, it's amazing.

Speaker 6 (44:02):
It was real bad. It was not a good response.

Speaker 5 (44:06):
And you know that's so funny because you wouldn't. I mean,
I don't think in your position, I would have done
anything any differently, because if you're going to show up authentically,
that's genuinely how our community responded to that event, right
in celeration.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Right, and that would do it again.

Speaker 6 (44:22):
And it was very difficult too. There was just so
many conversations and even from like the Afro Cuban community,
like there's just it was very difficult. It was a
very difficult time. It was a rude awakening because you
come from a place like Miami, where everyone is in
agreeance that Castro sucks. As you go to the West coast,

(44:43):
and like you're surrounded by other Latino communities and they
don't really know yet reality. So like I've had to
educate so many people on like, yeah, we don't actually
have the best healthcare, Like my cousin had to bring
her own bucket of water to the hospital sheets to
die in, right, So I really so in my videos

(45:04):
at least I try to go the GEASA USA route
obviously not as like but uh, like I've introduced like
queer topics, like I have queer characters and.

Speaker 5 (45:16):
Like which is already that's a gutsy move already.

Speaker 6 (45:22):
And I've introduced some like colorism jokes, like my friend Henry,
he's Afronika Wedsy and so he plays my friend Tony's
boyfriend and he and then that like Tony is the
son of thea Gloria like ye, so like all her
kids are queer as fun, which is hilarious, and so

(45:44):
they're like partners. And in one of the videos, Tony
plays his own dad and he's very like this squanto
but he like swears he's from like straight from Spain.
So he has like this, like put on Spanish accent
and like at first Tony thinks that he has a
problem with him having a boyfriend. He's like, Dad, you know,
I'm gay, Like deal with it. And he's like, no, no,

(46:05):
I just don't like that he's in the kodag one O.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
God, which is so true.

Speaker 6 (46:11):
And I was so scared of putting that out there.
But I'm like no, because I'm coming at it from
a place of like educating through comedy. And thankfully, like
no one said anything. Everyone was like, yup, that's how
it is, is, that's how people are, and so that's
how I try to approach my beliefs politically and just

(46:32):
morally and human rights without being on the nose about it. Yeah,
bo gay, I've learned, like I remember, every every platform,
my audience is slightly different. So Facebook is the more
conservative older Cuban I mean his Facebook.

Speaker 5 (46:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
We did red Table.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
We did red Table Talk via Facebook, and there were
some interesting comments because we were saying interesting things.

Speaker 6 (46:59):
And I think my like, I was so naive back
then because I remember posting an article my friend Gaby Rivera,
who's a queer Puerto Rican comic book writer and you know,
she had a comic come out and that's all I
It was like literally just me promoting the comic. And
I was like, oh a queer writer. All you people,

(47:21):
very very likely from Miami. You were like, stop pushing
the gay agenda.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
Not the gay agenda.

Speaker 6 (47:31):
Where's the agenda?

Speaker 1 (47:31):
You know, saying.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Do I have?

Speaker 6 (47:34):
And I said, no, people, people.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
The fourth.

Speaker 6 (47:41):
I'm like, this is called representation. That's all this is.
There are gay people, deal with it, like, we have
to represent This is not an agenda. Bro.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (47:51):
It was so naive in that moment, and I thought
I'd have the support and then I saw so many
homophobic comments and so like till this day, I'm I
still haven't like come out on Facebook. I came out
as by a few years ago during Fride Month battle.
I did it on Twitter, which is my more progressive platform.

(48:14):
And then like I slowly like you know what I'm saying, Yeah,
but all my biggest fear is people going Laela.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
Gay, Oh my god, forget it.

Speaker 6 (48:24):
Oh my bitch, you're Olla's gay.

Speaker 4 (48:26):
Literally, you know what's really funny though, you know what's
probably honestly you know those your heat that were made up?

Speaker 6 (48:36):
Wow? Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
We have a little activity, yes, okay, little activity. Sure,
she's sick of us.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
They're getting sick of us.

Speaker 6 (48:43):
So sick of you?

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
So we have collected we called our Mayauela her mom, yeah,
and have outsourced to fellow Miamians, and we've collected a
list of a couple of cubanisms. Those people have spoken
cubanisms that I don't think everybody that's not Cuban maybe understands.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
And I figured you'd be the perfect person.

Speaker 6 (49:04):
Oh god, I hope.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Oh no, trust me, girl, you're not a real Cuban.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
You are you are?

Speaker 5 (49:12):
You're all right as I don't care three cucumbers.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
It's basically like I don't give a rat. So love that.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
Okay, here's a good one.

Speaker 6 (49:31):
You know what's funny about that one? I know what
it is? What flies?

Speaker 3 (49:36):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (49:36):
But it's just like what's up?

Speaker 3 (49:37):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (49:38):
But it's like, okay, what what's going?

Speaker 3 (49:40):
What is going to come from?

Speaker 6 (49:43):
I feel like that's a more recent Cuban slang that
came later.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
I could be right okay with that, which is like
what what what's around?

Speaker 2 (49:52):
What round?

Speaker 6 (49:54):
Turn? And there's there, it's in there, okay, okay, is
that I don't I don't know. It's what it's like
from I said it is that. All I can think
about is that song. I said, hey, and then everyone
thought it was blue. I was like, bro, they're singing rappers, delight.

one you chosen.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
Yeah, So they're not saying I said, hey, it's just
like they're making fun of the Spanish accent trying to
sing rappers. Crazy mind, but everyone's Latino. Mom was like
somebody else, like they thought it was like some meatanic
ship or something like.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
If you played in reverse you can hear our ancestors crying.

Speaker 6 (50:53):
So that's what I think about. I said it, but
you know that's a term, right.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
I don't even know why. At some point somebody told
me that it was like a bad thing, really like insulting.
Like no, everybody's like I said, it's like.

Speaker 6 (51:05):
A bro right anyway, I've never heard that it was offensive.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Right, because like I make and then means right. It
was like you said, it's supposed to.

feel like that's in Miami thing.

Speaker 1 (52:07):

Speaker 6 (52:10):
Because people say like I'm like a neck deep and
like work that I hear.

Speaker 5 (52:15):
But up to here, I thought it was the Miami thing,
which is another one, oh you guys.

Speaker 6 (52:23):
But yeah, that's like I am. It's like the last draw,
like you have me on the edge.

little bit r rated. Oh that one is I like
you have me peeled appeeled in a very sensitive place. Okay,

the mind.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
But no, but with your bond, your body is twisted twisted.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
And I petitioned that Laetas start to use the translations
in English Mania your bud is so twisted.

Speaker 6 (53:19):
So twisted today maybe gen Z will catch on one.
Who knows. I've heard that one doesn't paint anything.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
Does that mean like like you don't belong or like
it's not your business, like.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
She's like important, but it's weird.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
It's hard to translate, right, yeah, because you like I
have no business being there?

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Right right?

Speaker 6 (53:48):
Right?

Speaker 5 (53:48):
Right?

Speaker 3 (53:50):
Are they actually? Like straight up she can't paint. We
don't want to hear straight up she's a bad artist. Okay,
how about this? Oh this happens to me this morning
and coming.

When you swallow air in the wrong tube, yeah, when
you swallow something or you choke on your own saliva.

Old road, the old road I think of like the
Key West one, the bridge that no one writes on anymore.

to say.

Speaker 4 (54:31):
No, my dad's is my personal favorite.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
I try to use this as often as possible, and
there are some perfect moments for this word to come out.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
And I know it's not a common word. It's a
Cuban word.

Speaker 6 (54:46):
Oh my god, I was about to say that one.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Yes, that was my favorite.

Speaker 6 (54:49):
That's my widows. That was his catchphrase till the end
of time.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Which doesn't mean the translation, does it.

Speaker 6 (54:58):
It was used back then. I think it came from
like African slang or things like praise god.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (55:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
I say it more like ship, like oh man.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
Wow yeah, like like you yeah, I'm trying to think
yeah yeah.

I think when I translate allow on my videos, I
put something along the lines of like wow, oh my god,
or you know something yeah, because it's translate. It's so yeah,
and I have to I translate. I don't do it
word for word translations because if not, it's not going
