talked about George Santos. Make sure you tune in, leave
a review, subscribe, and share with a friend.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So before the year ends, we have some really great
interviews coming and we're so excited to wrap up the
year with those interviews. But before that, we wanted to
take some time today to really focus on twenty twenty three,
the year that we had, and just do our regular
end of year check in.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
We had a recent Loca Verse three episode where we
reminisced on seven years of podcasting as lok at thot
Our Radio. We talked about all the exciting things that
we have coming up for the podcast. But today at
the we're going to talk a little bit more about
our personal year, our year in review, and all the
many things that we've done, maybe that we have talked
about on the show, and maybe some things that you
(02:09):
guys just had no idea were going on all this time.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I know, I think like early seasons, we talked about
our personal lives a lot and the things that were
going on, And just as the podcast has grown, so
has the content and the type of things that we
talk about. So this year we're just going to dig
into the personal achievement of our lives.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Absolutely. I had a hard time remembering the beginning of
the year always so like for me, kind of like
my year. I was like capped at summer, you know,
like my highlischool trip, and I could not remember what
I did like in the spring and winter months. So
I went ahead and I reviewed my camera role.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Okay, what did you say.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, at the beginning of the year. At the top
of the year, I had curtain bangs and that was
like a big deal for me, and it was a
whole different look, a whole different vibe. I was doing
a lot more stand up also, I was doing a
lot more shows, and we were throwing parties to ill
in the winter, Like yeah, early twenty twenty three, Like
if you went to one of our parties at resident
where like Crisol was DJing. We were doing a series
(03:09):
of parties called Bibbisota. We did a couple of them
at the Virgil. I was also doing like my Jokes
and Tokes stand up shows at the Artist Tree Studio
Lounge and Wijo that was really fun. And what else.
At the top of the year, I was like performing
at the Laugh Factory lot on that like weekly Spanglish show.
I think I went up like five or six times,
which was really fun for me. And yeah, and then
(03:32):
at the beginning of the summer, I went to Austin
with a bunch of comics from LA and we hit
a bunch of shows and we had our own show
at the Austin Eye cannabis Co that was super fun.
We went to the Comedy Mothership that was really weird,
very bizarre experience. But yeah, like it was a good year.
And then this summer I started to make videos also
(03:53):
for the Loss, which is a project of the La Times,
mostly doing like comedy coverage. Like I did a video
about and Covina. What else did I do? I don't
even remember it. Oh, I did a video about the
pump track in Englewood. Yes, and I met up with
Karen the Carrott and a bunch of really bad ass
Latino rollerskaters, and they taught me how to drop in
(04:14):
for the first time. So you can see those those
videos on the Lost pages online on Instagram and TikTok.
What else? We had our launch.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We had our launch, but before that, you had a
viral TikTok moment with your cutie, and someone on Instagram
in our little question box wanted to know, like what happened, Mala,
So what happened?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So to tell us about yes review, I was.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
In line at Starbucks, which we are boycotting now, but
at the time we were not boycotting Starbucks. It was
a different era.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It was.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It was really a different one.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I can't believe this is the same year, honestly.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No very much. So, so I'm like in line at
Starbucks and and I had this thought in my head
of like a story that I wanted to tell. So
I got on my phone and I recorded this video
of how I went to Vayarta to go pick up
I love the chi chat on it Bayarta, like if
you've never had it. They have like several different kinds.
(05:15):
You know, they have the kind of like the sheet,
but then they have some they're like longer, thicker meteor,
which are obviously the ones that I like the most.
And you can go and like you can make a
whole taco out of just like a chicha on. You know,
your lemon, your fixings, your guac, what have you? Right,
So I put on TikTok, Like I was there and
I was choosing a piece and this guy was choosing
(05:37):
the exact same pieces me at the exact same time,
and like we fell in love. And it turns out
that he's like the air to a vast tortilla chip fortune.
And I put that on TikTok and it went kind
of viral, and then people were like, oh my god, like,
first of all, there's no way. Second of all, like
who is he. Third of all, there were several journalists
that we love and respect, like went and they did
(06:00):
all kinds.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Of research ours because their journalist.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
At like reputable like Los Angeles news media institutions, you know.
And so one of them she DMS me and she's like,
oh my god, Mala, I did some research, yes, and
I found like all the tortilla companies that are family
owned that are located in the United States, and she
(06:25):
like narrowed it down and she like found a family
based in Washington. She's like, this family has like three sons,
two of them are married, one is not. And she's
like going into like archives and records and she's like,
who is it. I can't figure it out? And I
had to break it to her like, this is not
a real person, Like this is a story you know
that I just made up. There is no Tortilla ship air,
there was no Vayata meet cute. But I did get
(06:47):
one hundred dollars gift card from Yata, so it was
worth it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It was worth it. Morn Is to me, that was
the fairy tale. And I think that this is you
breaking the news to the listeners. I don't think on
the record shared that this was a story, No, that
you invented. So so here it is.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But actually the thing is the reason why it's so
believable is and we've talked about this.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's so believable.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
There are like food rich Latino families.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, I went to high school with them. Yeah, like
I know where they live. Like still, yes, I went
to middle school with the owners of La Barca, which
is a really popular chain in Downey and Southeast Dela.
Like yes, the Latino Royalty, the food royalty, I met
the tapatios, Like yes, they're out there.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And so it's totally a viable meet cute.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It is. So I think that's why it had legs,
and that's why it was so believable and you know what,
it's not outside the realm of possibility.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It's really not.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's really not. So I'm just going to keep going
to chain grocery store until it comes to fruition. So
there was that, and then we had a really cute
season eight launch this year for Loca.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Tell them about it, Remind them because sometimes we do
like this big launch and it's amazing, and then it's
like everyone forgets and we remember, we have to bring
back that video actually before the year and season ends.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yes, So we put out a cute little vid inspired
by Share and Raquel Welch from the Share Show. It
was like a song and dance number, well they weren't
really dancing. It was like a song that they did
together called I'm a Woman, and we rewrote the lyrics
to make it like, you know, we're a podcast. I
(08:36):
don't even remember LC at O or A. Yeah, we
like were podcast. That's what we did. It was really fun,
really cute, and we actually laid down vocals. We laid
down a track with Chrysol. She helped us to talk
sing yes in the style of Sharon Miquel.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
It was beautiful. It was so much fun and it
definitely will got me out of my comfort zone because
that's something that's more your will house. That's something that
you have to force me to do, and I'll do it.
I love it, but you know it's it's definitely something
out of my comfort zone.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh but you're a natural. You're a natural. The thing
is like you also has been acting on camera for
years now because.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Mala has made me like it's not for my own
like I don't volunteer myself. Mama makes me, but I
appreciate it. I think her for it. It's for the better. Yeah,
you're for my own better.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You're an actor.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You have credits, you have on screen credit. I do
what else? My muddy one at a season three launch
was also cute. I did like kind of an aviation
stewardess theme, you know, welcome a bored muddy one at
a flight four twenty and Chrysol did like a cover
of a Frank Sinatra song like come Fly with Me,
(09:49):
and we made it come Fly with Me, Get High
with Me. That was super fun, super cute. Shout out
to Rayaichila who worked on that launch video. Check that
one out as well. These are all in our reels,
Like both of these are on our tiktoks and our instagrams.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah. That was also really cute.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It was really cute.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It was really cute.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah. I was singing it like the whole launch week. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, very very jazzy. You know, I like, I like,
I like to keep a jazzy you know, you do
you do?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I don't think people know that about you.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm a real jazzy gal. I really am. I really am.
I like an old timey vibe.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So you do you do? I remember when I went
to I think this was last year, I went to
one of your open mics and you were like scatting.
Not you. It was an open mic. Sorry, you were performing,
you were on the lineup, and you were like scatting
on stage and I was like, yep, that's my girl.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Sometimes I scat only in the winter, only when it's
cold only. It's a very like wintertime activity.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Okay, why, I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Know, chestnuts scatting like it all, it goes, it goes,
I will say, though, I kind of okay, okay on that.
On that note, I had a house. Okay, I'm moved.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's a big one.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yes, that was a big one, and I moved, I
cut off all my hair. The pixie cut is back.
If you're like a real listener, a real fan, you know,
I've done the pixie before and so I also after
I moved, I had a housewaring party and I had
a five piece jazz band at my party.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It was shout out to night Shade Navarro ILOs Salvajes
from San Diego. They turned it up and it was.
It was a very classy affair, if I do say
so myself, it was. It really was. What else? Pixie cut?
We saw Beyonce? Yes, we attended the Renaissance tour.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
We did and that was that was amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
That was incredible And we covered it for the Loss.
We did for the La Times. We covered Beyonce for
the La Times.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I know.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So it's a bit.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's been a big year.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's been a huge year.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
What else? What else did did Mala do this?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'm exhausted.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, she's been so busy.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So many, so many things. I performed at the Ford
to Marcella Atguayo, Marcella who's been running her Women Crush
Wednesday's show out of the Hollywood Improv and before that,
other venues. It started at the Comedy Store in the
Belly Room. This summer the Ford the Ford Theater had
Marcella hosting Women Crush Wednesdays at the Ford for the Ford.
(12:18):
So Marcella put together a really killer lineup, if I
do say so myself. And the way that that show
came about, Marcella announced she was doing her last Women
Crush Wednesdays at the Hollywood Improv and I remember thinking
like I need to go, like I need to go
to this last show. So I went and I'm just
sitting in the back like with everybody else, being very inconspicuous,
like you know, I just like waved at her from
(12:39):
a distance or whatever. And she was like, oh, do
you want to do five minutes? And I was like yes,
And so I did five minutes on that show in
the lab at the Improv. And after that she was like,
you earned a spot on the show. You're going to
do the Ford. It was passing.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It was so fun, it was fun. I love I
was there, your whole family was there. It was great, amazing,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, I like to think so. And then Marcella had
me hosting for her. She was headlining the State Theater
in Modesto, which is where she's from. So that was
really exciting to like host for her at her hometown show.
And then she had me hosting her show, her headlining
show at the main room at the Improv. So shout
out Marcella. Amazing comic, amazing stand up. She's been like
(13:23):
killing it for years, you know, like really putting in
the work, a true stand up, a true comic, and
she's just been like really supportive of me and my
comedy journey. So I'm really grateful for her.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Also a past guest of Look I Thought our radio.
She's been on twice.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We love when Marcella comes on. She's obviously hilarious and
she goes there, she does, she goes, she goes all
the way there. What else? We went to Peru. We
talked about this.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, I can't believe that was already two months ago.
I'm shocked. It feels like yesterday.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Very wild for the USS thirtieth. Yes, you took me
to Lima, I did, and to Cusco and to Machu
Pichu and it was fabulous. We hiked the Inca Trail
and we ate delicious food and we went to many museums,
and saw many, many incredible beautiful things, and we like
learned about how the women in the Sierra like make
(14:15):
their traditional woven clothes using alpaca and baby alpaca, and
we got so many souvenirs. I brought back so much
stuff you did.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I like seeing it in your apartment recently when I
was over and seeing all like the art that you
bought and the textilas. It was very nice.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's beautiful. It like really like I got pillowcases, I
got like a table runner that I'm using as a tapestry.
I'm like getting something framed. I got a painting of
lamas and it's really cute.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
It is really cute.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And then I haven't shared this, but so okay, this
was actually kind of a whirlwind of emotions. It was
actually kind of like a dramatic end of the trip
because we hike the Inca Trail, we get to Machu Pichu.
It's like a very it was a wet, like six
hours of hiking. It was very strenuous, and once we
got to Machu Pichu and we sort of were winding
(15:06):
down from the hike in the day, I started getting
text messages from my mom and from my family back
home telling me that my grandfather passed away, and it
was very unexpected. He had been very sick for a
very long time. He was in and out of the
hospital basically like constantly for the past few years. But
you know, it was like just a routine visit the
(15:30):
last time that he was checked into the hospital. So
then to like get the news that he had passed
was kind of out of nowhere and kind of shocking.
And so we're like, a there's a lot of people
at Machu Pichu and we're all taking buses, you know,
to get from there to our hotel. And so then
I shared with you what happened. I'm like talking to
(15:50):
my mom and like, you know, getting all the news
and kind of like in shock over the whole thing.
And then you were like really helpful and supportive and
changing my fly and making sure I could get home
because my family started the rosary for him like almost
immediately right And what was so wild was like, you know,
we had to fly back from Cusco to Lima, and
(16:11):
then from Lima, I flew to Miami, and then from Miami,
I flew to la and then I went straight to
my like showered and dropped off my suitcases and then
like went straight to my grandma's and we started praying
the Rosary. And so that was a wild time because
before I left Peru, I was still in Peru, like
about to leave the next day, and then I get
(16:31):
an email. I get news that I got accepted to
this grad school program that I applied to.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yes, congratulations, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'm not going to share exactly where, Yeah, because I
was just telling Biosa like I don't know, I have
like fear of like maldeojo right now, Like I don't know,
like I have been feeling bad vibes like a foot recently.
So this piece of information I'm holding close for now.
I will revel in it later. But I don't know.
There's just something about right now where I'm like, this
(17:01):
is not the time, you know, fair, these people don't
need to know all that information. But yeah, that happened.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
This was all within the span of three days. Yeah,
like Haike Matchupichu, the Inca trail, which was very strenuous,
get back to the hotel, you share the news with us.
A day later, you get into grad school. Like talk
about emotional whiplash.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It was wild and then the flights and the time
zones and everything, and so like I've sort of been
kind of just you know, recuperating and in morning, and
I canceled a bunch. I had a bunch of shows,
and I like really didn't do any shows in November.
I've kind of just been like, you know, getting myself
back together and all that, which has also included getting
back into acting. I was in a little web series recently.
(17:44):
I had a cameo which was really lovely and fun,
directed by Stefo and produced by Gracie La Campo. That
was a really really fun time. Caesar Camacho is in
that series as well, so I want to thank them
for having me. I love to act. I don't get
to act as much as I would like. I'll audition
here and there, but you know it's hard. So yeah,
anytime I get too, I'm like really happy about it.
(18:06):
And then another life change. I recently got rid of
my car of ten years after I graduated from college.
Like the first thing I bought was this little car,
my little hun dive lost her and she just sort
of gave out on me, and I didn't want to
like pay thousands of dollars in repairs. Where I'm at now,
I have lots of public transpost so she's gone, and
I just feel like it's another chapter closed. It's like
(18:27):
I had her from undergrad now now I'm starting grad school,
you know what I mean. So it's just a clean,
clean break totally.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
You don't have to pay for a parking permit because
they're really expensive. So that's all, you know, positive.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's positive. So, oh my god, I'm exhausted. That's everything.
That's my year interview. That's all of it.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, that's an insurance here, like, that's everything.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
No, I didn't share with you guys. I forgot to
include this. And my mom has been talking about this.
My mom had a very in cancer. Right, my mom
had a very in cancer and so she's in remission.
She's fine, but it still happened this.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Year, yeah, at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, and so that's something too that like was like
another thing that we're just like really grateful that she's fine.
And she you know, my mom is a dancer. She performs,
and she's back dancing again, she's back performing again, she's teaching,
so we're just like very grateful that she's she's healthy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, your mom is amazing. We love we love Mamma Munios.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Shout out mother. Yeah, mother superior, That's what I call her.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
H I mean, yeah, it fits m Yeah, I mean
what a hell of a year. Yeah, honestly. And I
think it's also like we talk about this all the
time just in general, but I think it's another example, right,
like you don't know what people are going through. You know,
there's like so many demands of people that are online, right,
(19:51):
like you have to be doing the x y Z
and if you have a platform, you have to be
doing x y Z. But like a lot of us
are fighting these battles and nobody knows or just going
through a lot, and we show up how we can.
And just putting out a season of look at Thought
our Radio is a lot of work. It's thirty episodes
pre network deal. So grateful. We used to put out
(20:14):
like maybe twenty five episodes a year, and we weren't
a weekly show. And now just like the caliber of
being weak to weekly having to research and produce and
reach out to guests. It's a really great problem to have,
don't get me wrong, But it's also like that is
very time consuming. It's also a.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Lot of work, and you have been also juggling many
things this year. While putting out said word, Yes, let's
talk about your year.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
My year. You know, this was my first year of marriage. Yes,
I got married at the literally like the second to
last day of December of twenty twenty two. I got
married December thirtieth, So I'm coming up on a year.
So this was my first full year of being a newlywed.
And I think I underestimated how different marriage would be,
(21:04):
you know. Yeah, And I think I really underestimated the
personal changes I would have to undergo, you know. And
I think because really none of our friends are married.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
None of our friends are married.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Even my best friend that got engaged before I did,
she got married after me. She got married this past June,
and so I didn't really have anybody to really like,
what is it like? What can I expect? I wasn't
asking any questions because I got I planned a wedding,
got engaged, and planned a wedding in two months.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It was very fast.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It was extremely fast.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I remember when you told me, yes, I was right now. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh. I was also shocked when I we decided we
were going to get married in December. You know, I
was thinking of spring wedding. You know, I'm wearing something strapless. No, like,
that's not what happened. And so I think that for
me has been like one of my biggest personal just
changes and it's not a negative. It's just a lot
(22:02):
of growth. And also like because this was never our plan,
but we didn't live together, so we got married before
living together, which I would not advise to anybody, and
people give that advice all the time, and that just
is kind of the way everything played out. And we
were okay with that, and you know, living together is
its own adjustment and so it's like these two adjustments
(22:24):
at the same time. And you know, to be clear,
it's mainly me. Like I was basically an only child,
so having to share space with someone is like, you know,
it caused me some It cost some things for me.
You know, my partner's amazing, but me and I have
my things, my peculiarities, my idiosyncrasies of how I do things.
(22:46):
So you know, that's been its own challenge. But you know,
a beautiful one. It's a blessing, right.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, you know you've you've princess yes, Princess yes, your
princess and a princess even when the Inca trail just
came up. You're like, you were like, so I made
up in Cessta to our guide.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, yeah, because he was like, why why didn't she?
Why didn't y'all do the four days? You could have
done the four day trail, And I was like, you
don't really know me. But so I met the upt
in CESSA and I can't do four days of hiking
and camping. Yeah, ten No, So we did two days
and it was great.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I thought it was a great amount of days.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I thought so too, perfect number of days. But I mean, yeah,
I think in addition to like the top of the year,
just I think everything for me happened so fast. Like
I had my last semester of grad school and my
overall emphasis for my program was audio and narrative storytelling.
I like dabbled in some screenwriting, and then I graduated
(23:48):
in May, and that whole program was incredible. But it
went by so fast. I started in summer of twenty
twenty two and then graduated spring twenty twenty three, So
it was so fast, and I can't believe this like
happened at the beginning of the year you know what
I mean, like the top of the year, like what
I graduated, and I think that was I mean, grad
(24:11):
school for me, was was something I always wanted to
do and I'm really happy that I did it. It
went by so fast. I have no regrets. But that
was like a really yeah, that was one of my
big things, my big milestones of the year that I
graduated milestone.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, it's a big under It was a big undertaking.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
It was lots of tears, lots of tears.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
And a lot of a lot of new friends.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Lots of new friends. Yes, yeah, and that's yeah, that's
the one good part of like going back back to school.
You know, it expands that circle and of course your knowledge,
right and all of that. Something else. Oh, this was
a big one. I left my my job. I had
a job at a creative agency, shout Out Revolve, and.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I can't believe that was this game.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
You were working there this calendar year.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, my last day was January thirty first.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, And so I parted ways like amicably with a
broken heart because I didn't want to leave my job.
I loved working there. But like I've shared on the
show before, Like it got to a point where I
was so miserable. I wasn't enjoying my work. I wasn't
enjoying school, I wasn't enjoying lok at Dora. Like every
I was so burnt out that I was so busy
(25:26):
I couldn't enjoy my life. And it was like, well,
we got the network deal, we have a budget, Like
what am I waiting for now? And so that was
why I left the job. And then I became a
full time look at Ota employee. This past summer, we
started payroll, like that was a big deal. We're paying
taxes like through lok at Dora, employer taxes and employee taxes.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Like yeah, it's wild. We have salaries.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
We have salaries, baby salaries, but like salaries, nonetheless, the
bills get paid.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
We have health insurance, we do I know.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That's a big one.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's a big one.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Well this is kind of a sad one. But in February,
my cat died. He was sixteen, and he lived a
really long life with us, and he was like one
of those cats like I see these cats on social
media that are like so cuddly and lovey, and he
wasn't that he was the opposite of that. He like
tolerated us. He like was like one of those cats
(26:28):
like I'm giving you my presence and that's enough, but
like you're not gonna pet me, like you know, he
did have more of an affinity for my mom, I
will say, but it was Yeah, I mean he was,
you know, a member of our family for so long,
so that was sad to have to go through that. Yeah,
losing a pet is always really hard. So that was
something that happened early in the year that kind of
(26:50):
like was unexpected, like expected because he was you know,
old and sick, but like still unexpected.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, he was a presence at your house. It was
he would just kind of come and watch.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yes, he would like perch up and be like, what's
going on here? I'm supervising, Very regal, yes, very judgmental.
We would joke that he was like our.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Landlord, She's just checking on things because.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
He like, you know, he like used to when he
was a lot younger. He would like go in and
out and he would be gone for days and I'm like,
do you have another home? Probably, yeah, he was one
of those cats.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No you think he had another home.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I think he did. And then eventually we became the
primary residence and he just stopped leaving as he got older, Okay,
and which is why I feel like he just tolerated us.
And he was our landlord and we were his tenants,
Like that was the relationship we had. It was his
house rip. What else. My best friend, like I mentioned,
(27:50):
got married and I was her maid of honor and
we planned. I planned with her other friends a bachelorette
trip to Buertovayata and that was a lot of fun.
I had never been to. It's beautiful. I definitely want
to go back because it was one of those like
we're on a Bachelor Red trip, We're on a boat.
There weren't like necessarily cultural aspects of the trip. You know,
(28:11):
we were drinking and like on a boat, like that
was the goal of the trip, and that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Color coordinated color.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It was one of those you know, bachelorette I need
to redo it because Bachelor Red parties are like a
whole thing now, they're like weekends. There's like itineraries, there's
color coordinating, there's themes.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yes, I didn't make y'all do anything matching cups. There
was no time, no there wasn't between announcement, proposal, wedding day. Yeah,
like holidays.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I want to do over. I need to make y'all
work more.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I agree. I think you deserve a do over. Like
I'm so, we need matching cups, you need the shawl,
the sashes.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
All right, I don't know about the sashes, but okay.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
The little robes at some ride, you know all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That those are the things that I don't like.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Those are the well, we'll make it avant garde, we'll
make it special.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, yeah, no shade to anyone. My best friend was
that bride. Like my best friend was like, I'm the
bride that wants everything to say bride. I want like
I'm gonna wear white the whole weekend and everything everything right,
that's her. I supported it, We did it. It was
great for her. That's your thing. That's your thing. It's
not really my thing. But also why I want to
(29:23):
do over in some fun avant garde way, like you said.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yes, yes, we'll put a Pinterest board together, We'll put
a mood board together. Land something I.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Know I was telling fitinan though, because we haven't gone
on our honeymoon and like this point we're gonna be
like probably two three years married before we actually go
on our honeymoon. And I was like, I'm gonna wear
white the entire weekend. I want you to know. And
when people ask if we just got married, I'm gonna
say yes, yeah, I'm gonna be like, yes, we're newlywits.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I feel like newlyweds is like the first five years.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
It's really the first first year, I think. But yes,
we'll change the rules, so why not.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You know, it's still a baby matrimony.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
It is. It is. Yeah, it's paper m hmm, yes, okay,
what else? Okay, So I went to a lot of
live shows this year, like a lot of concerts. I
went to Romeo Santos, a fave soccer Faguba at the
Hollywood Bowl, and Gorla Morrison at the Hollywood Bowl, and
Latigree at the Palladium and gottle G which was wild.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Oh yeah, you were texting me from inside the cottal
g concert. You're like, help, it's scary here.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
The Rose Bowl was wild. I had never been to
I had never been to the Rose Bowl and seen
that kind of chaos for a concert. I don't know
how the soccer games are actually I have gone for
a soccer game and it was not that wild, but yes,
it was wild. It was fun, but it was so packed.
I felt like people over sold. They over tickets, were
over sold. I don't know. You couldn't move. It was wild.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
You were like, people are barefoot.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
People were barefoot at the end. It was one of
those concerts.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Not me. Yeah, no, never, never, I've never seen take
your shoes off publicly.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I don't know. Okay. Next we saw Gene Monet that
was so queer, so fun, so good. And then finally
like we both went to see Beyonce. Yes, yes, what else?
I also started working with the Loos and I started
writing doing some written freelance pieces for them, and one
of them ended up in print, which was so exciting.
I wrote about the running clubs in Southeast LA, and
(31:25):
it was just so cool to see it in print
and to see like the folks the runners like b
photographed like while they're running, while they're in community and
just like out in their local streets. So that was
really fun. I love that. One part of Lokata Radio,
I mean season A, we launched a mini series, the
Mental Health Series. I think that series was my favorite
(31:46):
couple of episodes of Loka Dora Radio and also our
We Love America episode that we did, like a deep
dive on America FA That one was so good.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I'm glad we did that.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
She deserves it, she does, and she's still getting all
her flowers, like as the year progresses, as it comes
to an end.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, I think this is just the beginning for her.
You know. I feel like she is now reaching that
people are recognizing for her as having this storied career.
Eventually they're going to talk about her, you know, like
if she keeps landing these big lead roles in big films,
Like I see that trajectory for her totally.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I see that too. It's kind of how you started
the year. I got bangs. The last couple of years,
the last couple of months, I've made.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Not just bangs.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I got like I got bangs.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
What do you mean a French bob? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I did I go to a French job, right?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
They weren't just bangs, That's true.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I got a French I got a French bob. And
I'm at that point where I'm like, I hate them.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
You did say that, I did?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah, Like I go through my days where I'm like,
I love the banks and then I hate them.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, so I'm in that period where like I micro
them out or I might cut them again.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It's not easy being a bang lady.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It's not one.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
No one said it was easy.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
No, no, But here we are here.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I love the bangs on you. I think they're precious.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
You look like a doll.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
See, I don't know if I want to look like
a doll.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
What's wrong with looking like a doll?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Okay, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Okay. So just wrapping up my twenty twenty two year,
oh my god, not twenty twenty two. We're in twenty
twenty three, wrapping up the year. I thought like twenty
twenty two was like my milestone year, like so many
big things has happened for us individually, and then twenty
twenty three was like the aftermath of everything. It was like,
oh you wanted this, okay, Doma.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Here it is here, it is there, you go.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
And so I've really been going through it this year.
Like I know, I celebrated like all the amazing things
that happened, but like, oh my god, this year was
rough and It really taught me about boundaries and like
letting myself grow because you think you're ready to grow,
because you want all like the positives of growth, and
(34:02):
then you actually have to do it and it's painful.
It's like so hard, and it's like putting then everything
into practice that I've learned in therapy for the past
six years. And if you follow astrology at all, like
you may know that the north node of the moon
entered Aries in July and the south node entered Libra
(34:25):
at the exact same time. So if you have either
of these signs in your chart, you might have been
going through it this year. And lucky for me, I
have both. Okay, so I'm a Libra son and an
Aries rising. So this year kicked my ass and I like,
I like to follow Chawnie Nicholas. She like is a
famous astrologer, right, and she has her own app and everything,
(34:48):
and so she was when I was looking at my
twenty twenty three year. I didn't look at it until
like we were prepping for this episode. I've been following
my horoscope like weekly, but this I hadn't really looked
at the year as a whole. And so she says
the top of the year, Jupiter was an aries, which
she described as a lucky streak. You're protected, you're growing
(35:08):
faster than you thought possible. So it makes so much
sense why the first five months of the year were
so good and why July to now have been rough. Okay,
you know what I mean. And so I am ready
to like close out the year like a in a
sleepy hibernation type of way, you know what I mean, Like, well,
(35:32):
the work will continue, but like I'm going to be
hibernating a little bit, Like I'm going to be like withdrawing.
It's winter.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, it's time for that. It's time to it's time
to turn off the lights and take a nap.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yes, absolutely, So that's how I'm feeling. That was my year.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
And you know what, I think you deserve that. I
think you deserve the rest and the relaxation. And then
we start all over again in January.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yes, and then we are season wraps, like we only
have a couple episodes left of the season. Our season
eventually or are our season formally ends at the end
of January. We're wrapping another season. And I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I can't believe it. And the plan is to be
back yes season nine.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Season nine Lord launch date TVD, but it's coming.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
In the spring, yes, yeah, yeah, And thank you to
Michael Buddha for having us and for giving us a
home on the network. It really has been life changing,
and I think a lot of the beautiful things that
we were able to do and experience this year were
because of our work with the network. Absolutely, a network
show has like changed everything, yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
I mean, and it's also like come at a time
where you know, major media corporations are laying off their journalists,
laying off their podcasters, counseling shows like that's also the
landscape that we've been operating under, you know, And so
it's really hard working in this industry, right, and we
try to think of ways to be fresh and innovate
(37:02):
and keep it going and keep you all in mind.
You are listeners, you know, as we continue to grow
and produce Lokata Radio.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Absolutely, and yeah, we're looking forward to another another year
of podcasting and everything else.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
So before the year ends, we have some really great
interviews coming and we're so excited to wrap up the
year with those interviews. But before that, we wanted to
take some time today to really focus on twenty twenty three,
the year that we had, and just do our regular
end of year check in.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
We had a recent Loca Verse three episode where we
reminisced on seven years of podcasting as lok at thot
Our Radio. We talked about all the exciting things that
we have coming up for the podcast. But today at
the we're going to talk a little bit more about
our personal year, our year in review, and all the
many things that we've done, maybe that we have talked
about on the show, and maybe some things that you
(02:09):
guys just had no idea were going on all this time.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I know, I think like early seasons, we talked about
our personal lives a lot and the things that were
going on, And just as the podcast has grown, so
has the content and the type of things that we
talk about. So this year we're just going to dig
into the personal achievement of our lives.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Absolutely. I had a hard time remembering the beginning of
the year always so like for me, kind of like
my year. I was like capped at summer, you know,
like my highlischool trip, and I could not remember what
I did like in the spring and winter months. So
I went ahead and I reviewed my camera role.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Okay, what did you say.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Well, at the beginning of the year. At the top
of the year, I had curtain bangs and that was
like a big deal for me, and it was a
whole different look, a whole different vibe. I was doing
a lot more stand up also, I was doing a
lot more shows, and we were throwing parties to ill
in the winter, Like yeah, early twenty twenty three, Like
if you went to one of our parties at resident
where like Crisol was DJing. We were doing a series
(03:09):
of parties called Bibbisota. We did a couple of them
at the Virgil. I was also doing like my Jokes
and Tokes stand up shows at the Artist Tree Studio
Lounge and Wijo that was really fun. And what else.
At the top of the year, I was like performing
at the Laugh Factory lot on that like weekly Spanglish show.
I think I went up like five or six times,
which was really fun for me. And yeah, and then
(03:32):
at the beginning of the summer, I went to Austin
with a bunch of comics from LA and we hit
a bunch of shows and we had our own show
at the Austin Eye cannabis Co that was super fun.
We went to the Comedy Mothership that was really weird,
very bizarre experience. But yeah, like it was a good year.
And then this summer I started to make videos also
(03:53):
for the Loss, which is a project of the La Times,
mostly doing like comedy coverage. Like I did a video
about and Covina. What else did I do? I don't
even remember it. Oh, I did a video about the
pump track in Englewood. Yes, and I met up with
Karen the Carrott and a bunch of really bad ass
Latino rollerskaters, and they taught me how to drop in
(04:14):
for the first time. So you can see those those
videos on the Lost pages online on Instagram and TikTok.
What else? We had our launch.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We had our launch, but before that, you had a
viral TikTok moment with your cutie, and someone on Instagram
in our little question box wanted to know, like what happened, Mala,
So what happened?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So to tell us about yes review, I was.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
In line at Starbucks, which we are boycotting now, but
at the time we were not boycotting Starbucks. It was
a different era.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
It was.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It was really a different one.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I can't believe this is the same year, honestly.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
No very much. So, so I'm like in line at
Starbucks and and I had this thought in my head
of like a story that I wanted to tell. So
I got on my phone and I recorded this video
of how I went to Vayarta to go pick up
I love the chi chat on it Bayarta, like if
you've never had it. They have like several different kinds.
(05:15):
You know, they have the kind of like the sheet,
but then they have some they're like longer, thicker meteor,
which are obviously the ones that I like the most.
And you can go and like you can make a
whole taco out of just like a chicha on. You know,
your lemon, your fixings, your guac, what have you? Right,
So I put on TikTok, Like I was there and
I was choosing a piece and this guy was choosing
(05:37):
the exact same pieces me at the exact same time,
and like we fell in love. And it turns out
that he's like the air to a vast tortilla chip fortune.
And I put that on TikTok and it went kind
of viral, and then people were like, oh my god, like,
first of all, there's no way. Second of all, like
who is he. Third of all, there were several journalists
that we love and respect, like went and they did
(06:00):
all kinds.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Of research ours because their journalist.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
At like reputable like Los Angeles news media institutions, you know.
And so one of them she DMS me and she's like,
oh my god, Mala, I did some research, yes, and
I found like all the tortilla companies that are family
owned that are located in the United States, and she
(06:25):
like narrowed it down and she like found a family
based in Washington. She's like, this family has like three sons,
two of them are married, one is not. And she's
like going into like archives and records and she's like,
who is it. I can't figure it out? And I
had to break it to her like, this is not
a real person, Like this is a story you know
that I just made up. There is no Tortilla ship air,
there was no Vayata meet cute. But I did get
(06:47):
one hundred dollars gift card from Yata, so it was
worth it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
It was worth it. Morn Is to me, that was
the fairy tale. And I think that this is you
breaking the news to the listeners. I don't think on
the record shared that this was a story, No, that
you invented. So so here it is.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But actually the thing is the reason why it's so
believable is and we've talked about this.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's so believable.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
There are like food rich Latino families.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, I went to high school with them. Yeah, like
I know where they live. Like still, yes, I went
to middle school with the owners of La Barca, which
is a really popular chain in Downey and Southeast Dela.
Like yes, the Latino Royalty, the food royalty, I met
the tapatios, Like yes, they're out there.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And so it's totally a viable meet cute.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It is. So I think that's why it had legs,
and that's why it was so believable and you know what,
it's not outside the realm of possibility.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
It's really not.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's really not. So I'm just going to keep going
to chain grocery store until it comes to fruition. So
there was that, and then we had a really cute
season eight launch this year for Loca.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Tell them about it, Remind them because sometimes we do
like this big launch and it's amazing, and then it's
like everyone forgets and we remember, we have to bring
back that video actually before the year and season ends.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yes, So we put out a cute little vid inspired
by Share and Raquel Welch from the Share Show. It
was like a song and dance number, well they weren't
really dancing. It was like a song that they did
together called I'm a Woman, and we rewrote the lyrics
to make it like, you know, we're a podcast. I
(08:36):
don't even remember LC at O or A. Yeah, we
like were podcast. That's what we did. It was really fun,
really cute, and we actually laid down vocals. We laid
down a track with Chrysol. She helped us to talk
sing yes in the style of Sharon Miquel.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
It was beautiful. It was so much fun and it
definitely will got me out of my comfort zone because
that's something that's more your will house. That's something that
you have to force me to do, and I'll do it.
I love it, but you know it's it's definitely something
out of my comfort zone.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Oh but you're a natural. You're a natural. The thing
is like you also has been acting on camera for
years now because.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Mala has made me like it's not for my own
like I don't volunteer myself. Mama makes me, but I
appreciate it. I think her for it. It's for the better. Yeah,
you're for my own better.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You're an actor.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You have credits, you have on screen credit. I do
what else? My muddy one at a season three launch
was also cute. I did like kind of an aviation
stewardess theme, you know, welcome a bored muddy one at
a flight four twenty and Chrysol did like a cover
of a Frank Sinatra song like come Fly with Me,
(09:49):
and we made it come Fly with Me, Get High
with Me. That was super fun, super cute. Shout out
to Rayaichila who worked on that launch video. Check that
one out as well. These are all in our reels,
Like both of these are on our tiktoks and our instagrams.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah. That was also really cute.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It was really cute.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
It was really cute.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah. I was singing it like the whole launch week. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, very very jazzy. You know, I like, I like,
I like to keep a jazzy you know, you do
you do?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I don't think people know that about you.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm a real jazzy gal. I really am. I really am.
I like an old timey vibe.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
So you do you do? I remember when I went
to I think this was last year, I went to
one of your open mics and you were like scatting.
Not you. It was an open mic. Sorry, you were performing,
you were on the lineup, and you were like scatting
on stage and I was like, yep, that's my girl.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Sometimes I scat only in the winter, only when it's
cold only. It's a very like wintertime activity.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Okay, why, I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Know, chestnuts scatting like it all, it goes, it goes,
I will say, though, I kind of okay, okay on that.
On that note, I had a house. Okay, I'm moved.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's a big one.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yes, that was a big one, and I moved, I
cut off all my hair. The pixie cut is back.
If you're like a real listener, a real fan, you know,
I've done the pixie before and so I also after
I moved, I had a housewaring party and I had
a five piece jazz band at my party.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It was shout out to night Shade Navarro ILOs Salvajes
from San Diego. They turned it up and it was.
It was a very classy affair, if I do say
so myself, it was. It really was. What else? Pixie cut?
We saw Beyonce? Yes, we attended the Renaissance tour.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
We did and that was that was amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
That was incredible And we covered it for the Loss.
We did for the La Times. We covered Beyonce for
the La Times.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
I know.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So it's a bit.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's been a big year.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It's been a huge year.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
What else? What else did did Mala do this?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I'm exhausted.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, she's been so busy.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So many, so many things. I performed at the Ford
to Marcella Atguayo, Marcella who's been running her Women Crush
Wednesday's show out of the Hollywood Improv and before that,
other venues. It started at the Comedy Store in the
Belly Room. This summer the Ford the Ford Theater had
Marcella hosting Women Crush Wednesdays at the Ford for the Ford.
(12:18):
So Marcella put together a really killer lineup, if I
do say so myself. And the way that that show
came about, Marcella announced she was doing her last Women
Crush Wednesdays at the Hollywood Improv and I remember thinking
like I need to go, like I need to go
to this last show. So I went and I'm just
sitting in the back like with everybody else, being very inconspicuous,
like you know, I just like waved at her from
(12:39):
a distance or whatever. And she was like, oh, do
you want to do five minutes? And I was like yes,
And so I did five minutes on that show in
the lab at the Improv. And after that she was like,
you earned a spot on the show. You're going to
do the Ford. It was passing.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It was so fun, it was fun. I love I
was there, your whole family was there. It was great, amazing,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, I like to think so. And then Marcella had
me hosting for her. She was headlining the State Theater
in Modesto, which is where she's from. So that was
really exciting to like host for her at her hometown show.
And then she had me hosting her show, her headlining
show at the main room at the Improv. So shout
out Marcella. Amazing comic, amazing stand up. She's been like
(13:23):
killing it for years, you know, like really putting in
the work, a true stand up, a true comic, and
she's just been like really supportive of me and my
comedy journey. So I'm really grateful for her.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Also a past guest of Look I Thought our radio.
She's been on twice.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We love when Marcella comes on. She's obviously hilarious and
she goes there, she does, she goes, she goes all
the way there. What else? We went to Peru. We
talked about this.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, I can't believe that was already two months ago.
I'm shocked. It feels like yesterday.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Very wild for the USS thirtieth. Yes, you took me
to Lima, I did, and to Cusco and to Machu
Pichu and it was fabulous. We hiked the Inca Trail
and we ate delicious food and we went to many museums,
and saw many, many incredible beautiful things, and we like
learned about how the women in the Sierra like make
(14:15):
their traditional woven clothes using alpaca and baby alpaca, and
we got so many souvenirs. I brought back so much
stuff you did.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I like seeing it in your apartment recently when I
was over and seeing all like the art that you
bought and the textilas. It was very nice.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's beautiful. It like really like I got pillowcases, I
got like a table runner that I'm using as a tapestry.
I'm like getting something framed. I got a painting of
lamas and it's really cute.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
It is really cute.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
And then I haven't shared this, but so okay, this
was actually kind of a whirlwind of emotions. It was
actually kind of like a dramatic end of the trip
because we hike the Inca Trail, we get to Machu Pichu.
It's like a very it was a wet, like six
hours of hiking. It was very strenuous, and once we
got to Machu Pichu and we sort of were winding
(15:06):
down from the hike in the day, I started getting
text messages from my mom and from my family back
home telling me that my grandfather passed away, and it
was very unexpected. He had been very sick for a
very long time. He was in and out of the
hospital basically like constantly for the past few years. But
you know, it was like just a routine visit the
(15:30):
last time that he was checked into the hospital. So
then to like get the news that he had passed
was kind of out of nowhere and kind of shocking.
And so we're like, a there's a lot of people
at Machu Pichu and we're all taking buses, you know,
to get from there to our hotel. And so then
I shared with you what happened. I'm like talking to
(15:50):
my mom and like, you know, getting all the news
and kind of like in shock over the whole thing.
And then you were like really helpful and supportive and
changing my fly and making sure I could get home
because my family started the rosary for him like almost
immediately right And what was so wild was like, you know,
we had to fly back from Cusco to Lima, and
(16:11):
then from Lima, I flew to Miami, and then from Miami,
I flew to la and then I went straight to
my like showered and dropped off my suitcases and then
like went straight to my grandma's and we started praying
the Rosary. And so that was a wild time because
before I left Peru, I was still in Peru, like
about to leave the next day, and then I get
(16:31):
an email. I get news that I got accepted to
this grad school program that I applied to.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yes, congratulations, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'm not going to share exactly where, Yeah, because I
was just telling Biosa like I don't know, I have
like fear of like maldeojo right now, Like I don't know,
like I have been feeling bad vibes like a foot recently.
So this piece of information I'm holding close for now.
I will revel in it later. But I don't know.
There's just something about right now where I'm like, this
(17:01):
is not the time, you know, fair, these people don't
need to know all that information. But yeah, that happened.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
This was all within the span of three days. Yeah,
like Haike Matchupichu, the Inca trail, which was very strenuous,
get back to the hotel, you share the news with us.
A day later, you get into grad school. Like talk
about emotional whiplash.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It was wild and then the flights and the time
zones and everything, and so like I've sort of been
kind of just you know, recuperating and in morning, and
I canceled a bunch. I had a bunch of shows,
and I like really didn't do any shows in November.
I've kind of just been like, you know, getting myself
back together and all that, which has also included getting
back into acting. I was in a little web series recently.
(17:44):
I had a cameo which was really lovely and fun,
directed by Stefo and produced by Gracie La Campo. That
was a really really fun time. Caesar Camacho is in
that series as well, so I want to thank them
for having me. I love to act. I don't get
to act as much as I would like. I'll audition
here and there, but you know it's hard. So yeah,
anytime I get too, I'm like really happy about it.
(18:06):
And then another life change. I recently got rid of
my car of ten years after I graduated from college.
Like the first thing I bought was this little car,
my little hun dive lost her and she just sort
of gave out on me, and I didn't want to
like pay thousands of dollars in repairs. Where I'm at now,
I have lots of public transpost so she's gone, and
I just feel like it's another chapter closed. It's like
(18:27):
I had her from undergrad now now I'm starting grad school,
you know what I mean. So it's just a clean,
clean break totally.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
You don't have to pay for a parking permit because
they're really expensive. So that's all, you know, positive.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It's positive. So, oh my god, I'm exhausted. That's everything.
That's my year interview. That's all of it.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, that's an insurance here, like, that's everything.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
No, I didn't share with you guys. I forgot to
include this. And my mom has been talking about this.
My mom had a very in cancer. Right, my mom
had a very in cancer and so she's in remission.
She's fine, but it still happened this.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Year, yeah, at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, and so that's something too that like was like
another thing that we're just like really grateful that she's fine.
And she you know, my mom is a dancer. She performs,
and she's back dancing again, she's back performing again, she's teaching,
so we're just like very grateful that she's she's healthy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, your mom is amazing. We love we love Mamma Munios.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Shout out mother. Yeah, mother superior, That's what I call her.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
H I mean, yeah, it fits m Yeah, I mean
what a hell of a year. Yeah, honestly. And I
think it's also like we talk about this all the
time just in general, but I think it's another example, right,
like you don't know what people are going through. You know,
there's like so many demands of people that are online, right,
(19:51):
like you have to be doing the x y Z
and if you have a platform, you have to be
doing x y Z. But like a lot of us
are fighting these battles and nobody knows or just going
through a lot, and we show up how we can.
And just putting out a season of look at Thought
our Radio is a lot of work. It's thirty episodes
pre network deal. So grateful. We used to put out
(20:14):
like maybe twenty five episodes a year, and we weren't
a weekly show. And now just like the caliber of
being weak to weekly having to research and produce and
reach out to guests. It's a really great problem to have,
don't get me wrong, But it's also like that is
very time consuming. It's also a.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Lot of work, and you have been also juggling many
things this year. While putting out said word, Yes, let's
talk about your year.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
My year. You know, this was my first year of marriage. Yes,
I got married at the literally like the second to
last day of December of twenty twenty two. I got
married December thirtieth, So I'm coming up on a year.
So this was my first full year of being a newlywed.
And I think I underestimated how different marriage would be,
(21:04):
you know. Yeah, And I think I really underestimated the
personal changes I would have to undergo, you know. And
I think because really none of our friends are married.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
None of our friends are married.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Even my best friend that got engaged before I did,
she got married after me. She got married this past June,
and so I didn't really have anybody to really like,
what is it like? What can I expect? I wasn't
asking any questions because I got I planned a wedding,
got engaged, and planned a wedding in two months.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It was very fast.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
It was extremely fast.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I remember when you told me, yes, I was right now. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh. I was also shocked when I we decided we
were going to get married in December. You know, I
was thinking of spring wedding. You know, I'm wearing something strapless. No, like,
that's not what happened. And so I think that for
me has been like one of my biggest personal just
changes and it's not a negative. It's just a lot
(22:02):
of growth. And also like because this was never our plan,
but we didn't live together, so we got married before
living together, which I would not advise to anybody, and
people give that advice all the time, and that just
is kind of the way everything played out. And we
were okay with that, and you know, living together is
its own adjustment and so it's like these two adjustments
(22:24):
at the same time. And you know, to be clear,
it's mainly me. Like I was basically an only child,
so having to share space with someone is like, you know,
it caused me some It cost some things for me.
You know, my partner's amazing, but me and I have
my things, my peculiarities, my idiosyncrasies of how I do things.
(22:46):
So you know, that's been its own challenge. But you know,
a beautiful one. It's a blessing, right.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, you know you've you've princess yes, Princess yes, your
princess and a princess even when the Inca trail just
came up. You're like, you were like, so I made
up in Cessta to our guide.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, yeah, because he was like, why why didn't she?
Why didn't y'all do the four days? You could have
done the four day trail, And I was like, you
don't really know me. But so I met the upt
in CESSA and I can't do four days of hiking
and camping. Yeah, ten No, So we did two days
and it was great.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I thought it was a great amount of days.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I thought so too, perfect number of days. But I mean, yeah,
I think in addition to like the top of the year,
just I think everything for me happened so fast. Like
I had my last semester of grad school and my
overall emphasis for my program was audio and narrative storytelling.
I like dabbled in some screenwriting, and then I graduated
(23:48):
in May, and that whole program was incredible. But it
went by so fast. I started in summer of twenty
twenty two and then graduated spring twenty twenty three, So
it was so fast, and I can't believe this like
happened at the beginning of the year you know what
I mean, like the top of the year, like what
I graduated, and I think that was I mean, grad
(24:11):
school for me, was was something I always wanted to
do and I'm really happy that I did it. It
went by so fast. I have no regrets. But that
was like a really yeah, that was one of my
big things, my big milestones of the year that I
graduated milestone.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, it's a big under It was a big undertaking.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
It was lots of tears, lots of tears.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
And a lot of a lot of new friends.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Lots of new friends. Yes, yeah, and that's yeah, that's
the one good part of like going back back to school.
You know, it expands that circle and of course your knowledge,
right and all of that. Something else. Oh, this was
a big one. I left my my job. I had
a job at a creative agency, shout Out Revolve, and.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I can't believe that was this game.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
You were working there this calendar year.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, my last day was January thirty first.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, And so I parted ways like amicably with a
broken heart because I didn't want to leave my job.
I loved working there. But like I've shared on the
show before, Like it got to a point where I
was so miserable. I wasn't enjoying my work. I wasn't
enjoying school, I wasn't enjoying lok at Dora. Like every
I was so burnt out that I was so busy
(25:26):
I couldn't enjoy my life. And it was like, well,
we got the network deal, we have a budget, Like
what am I waiting for now? And so that was
why I left the job. And then I became a
full time look at Ota employee. This past summer, we
started payroll, like that was a big deal. We're paying
taxes like through lok at Dora, employer taxes and employee taxes.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Like yeah, it's wild. We have salaries.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
We have salaries, baby salaries, but like salaries, nonetheless, the
bills get paid.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
We have health insurance, we do I know.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
That's a big one.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's a big one.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Well this is kind of a sad one. But in February,
my cat died. He was sixteen, and he lived a
really long life with us, and he was like one
of those cats like I see these cats on social
media that are like so cuddly and lovey, and he
wasn't that he was the opposite of that. He like
tolerated us. He like was like one of those cats
(26:28):
like I'm giving you my presence and that's enough, but
like you're not gonna pet me, like you know, he
did have more of an affinity for my mom, I
will say, but it was Yeah, I mean he was,
you know, a member of our family for so long,
so that was sad to have to go through that. Yeah,
losing a pet is always really hard. So that was
something that happened early in the year that kind of
(26:50):
like was unexpected, like expected because he was you know,
old and sick, but like still unexpected.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yeah, he was a presence at your house. It was
he would just kind of come and watch.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yes, he would like perch up and be like, what's
going on here? I'm supervising, Very regal, yes, very judgmental.
We would joke that he was like our.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Landlord, She's just checking on things because.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
He like, you know, he like used to when he
was a lot younger. He would like go in and
out and he would be gone for days and I'm like,
do you have another home? Probably, yeah, he was one
of those cats.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
No you think he had another home.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I think he did. And then eventually we became the
primary residence and he just stopped leaving as he got older, Okay,
and which is why I feel like he just tolerated us.
And he was our landlord and we were his tenants,
Like that was the relationship we had. It was his
house rip. What else. My best friend, like I mentioned,
(27:50):
got married and I was her maid of honor and
we planned. I planned with her other friends a bachelorette
trip to Buertovayata and that was a lot of fun.
I had never been to. It's beautiful. I definitely want
to go back because it was one of those like
we're on a Bachelor Red trip, We're on a boat.
There weren't like necessarily cultural aspects of the trip. You know,
(28:11):
we were drinking and like on a boat, like that
was the goal of the trip, and that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Color coordinated color.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It was one of those you know, bachelorette I need
to redo it because Bachelor Red parties are like a
whole thing now, they're like weekends. There's like itineraries, there's
color coordinating, there's themes.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yes, I didn't make y'all do anything matching cups. There
was no time, no there wasn't between announcement, proposal, wedding day. Yeah,
like holidays.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I want to do over. I need to make y'all
work more.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I agree. I think you deserve a do over. Like
I'm so, we need matching cups, you need the shawl,
the sashes.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
All right, I don't know about the sashes, but okay.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
The little robes at some ride, you know all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That those are the things that I don't like.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Those are the well, we'll make it avant garde, we'll
make it special.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, yeah, no shade to anyone. My best friend was
that bride. Like my best friend was like, I'm the
bride that wants everything to say bride. I want like
I'm gonna wear white the whole weekend and everything everything right,
that's her. I supported it, We did it. It was
great for her. That's your thing. That's your thing. It's
not really my thing. But also why I want to
(29:23):
do over in some fun avant garde way, like you said.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yes, yes, we'll put a Pinterest board together, We'll put
a mood board together. Land something I.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Know I was telling fitinan though, because we haven't gone
on our honeymoon and like this point we're gonna be
like probably two three years married before we actually go
on our honeymoon. And I was like, I'm gonna wear
white the entire weekend. I want you to know. And
when people ask if we just got married, I'm gonna
say yes, yeah, I'm gonna be like, yes, we're newlywits.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I feel like newlyweds is like the first five years.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
It's really the first first year, I think. But yes,
we'll change the rules, so why not.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You know, it's still a baby matrimony.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
It is. It is. Yeah, it's paper m hmm, yes, okay,
what else? Okay, So I went to a lot of
live shows this year, like a lot of concerts. I
went to Romeo Santos, a fave soccer Faguba at the
Hollywood Bowl, and Gorla Morrison at the Hollywood Bowl, and
Latigree at the Palladium and gottle G which was wild.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Oh yeah, you were texting me from inside the cottal
g concert. You're like, help, it's scary here.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
The Rose Bowl was wild. I had never been to
I had never been to the Rose Bowl and seen
that kind of chaos for a concert. I don't know
how the soccer games are actually I have gone for
a soccer game and it was not that wild, but yes,
it was wild. It was fun, but it was so packed.
I felt like people over sold. They over tickets, were
over sold. I don't know. You couldn't move. It was wild.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
You were like, people are barefoot.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
People were barefoot at the end. It was one of
those concerts.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Not me. Yeah, no, never, never, I've never seen take
your shoes off publicly.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I don't know. Okay. Next we saw Gene Monet that
was so queer, so fun, so good. And then finally
like we both went to see Beyonce. Yes, yes, what else?
I also started working with the Loos and I started
writing doing some written freelance pieces for them, and one
of them ended up in print, which was so exciting.
I wrote about the running clubs in Southeast LA, and
(31:25):
it was just so cool to see it in print
and to see like the folks the runners like b
photographed like while they're running, while they're in community and
just like out in their local streets. So that was
really fun. I love that. One part of Lokata Radio,
I mean season A, we launched a mini series, the
Mental Health Series. I think that series was my favorite
(31:46):
couple of episodes of Loka Dora Radio and also our
We Love America episode that we did, like a deep
dive on America FA That one was so good.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I'm glad we did that.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
She deserves it, she does, and she's still getting all
her flowers, like as the year progresses, as it comes
to an end.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Yeah, I think this is just the beginning for her.
You know. I feel like she is now reaching that
people are recognizing for her as having this storied career.
Eventually they're going to talk about her, you know, like
if she keeps landing these big lead roles in big films,
Like I see that trajectory for her totally.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I see that too. It's kind of how you started
the year. I got bangs. The last couple of years,
the last couple of months, I've made.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Not just bangs.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
I got like I got bangs.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
What do you mean a French bob? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
I did I go to a French job, right?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
They weren't just bangs, That's true.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
I got a French I got a French bob. And
I'm at that point where I'm like, I hate them.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
You did say that, I did?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah, Like I go through my days where I'm like,
I love the banks and then I hate them.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah, so I'm in that period where like I micro
them out or I might cut them again.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It's not easy being a bang lady.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It's not one.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
No one said it was easy.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
No, no, But here we are here.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I love the bangs on you. I think they're precious.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
You look like a doll.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
See, I don't know if I want to look like
a doll.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
What's wrong with looking like a doll?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Okay, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Okay. So just wrapping up my twenty twenty two year,
oh my god, not twenty twenty two. We're in twenty
twenty three, wrapping up the year. I thought like twenty
twenty two was like my milestone year, like so many
big things has happened for us individually, and then twenty
twenty three was like the aftermath of everything. It was like,
oh you wanted this, okay, Doma.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Here it is here, it is there, you go.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
And so I've really been going through it this year.
Like I know, I celebrated like all the amazing things
that happened, but like, oh my god, this year was
rough and It really taught me about boundaries and like
letting myself grow because you think you're ready to grow,
because you want all like the positives of growth, and
(34:02):
then you actually have to do it and it's painful.
It's like so hard, and it's like putting then everything
into practice that I've learned in therapy for the past
six years. And if you follow astrology at all, like
you may know that the north node of the moon
entered Aries in July and the south node entered Libra
(34:25):
at the exact same time. So if you have either
of these signs in your chart, you might have been
going through it this year. And lucky for me, I
have both. Okay, so I'm a Libra son and an
Aries rising. So this year kicked my ass and I like,
I like to follow Chawnie Nicholas. She like is a
famous astrologer, right, and she has her own app and everything,
(34:48):
and so she was when I was looking at my
twenty twenty three year. I didn't look at it until
like we were prepping for this episode. I've been following
my horoscope like weekly, but this I hadn't really looked
at the year as a whole. And so she says
the top of the year, Jupiter was an aries, which
she described as a lucky streak. You're protected, you're growing
(35:08):
faster than you thought possible. So it makes so much
sense why the first five months of the year were
so good and why July to now have been rough. Okay,
you know what I mean. And so I am ready
to like close out the year like a in a
sleepy hibernation type of way, you know what I mean, Like, well,
(35:32):
the work will continue, but like I'm going to be
hibernating a little bit, Like I'm going to be like withdrawing.
It's winter.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Yeah, it's time for that. It's time to it's time
to turn off the lights and take a nap.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yes, absolutely, So that's how I'm feeling. That was my year.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
And you know what, I think you deserve that. I
think you deserve the rest and the relaxation. And then
we start all over again in January.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yes, and then we are season wraps, like we only
have a couple episodes left of the season. Our season
eventually or are our season formally ends at the end
of January. We're wrapping another season. And I can't believe it.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
I can't believe it. And the plan is to be
back yes season nine.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Season nine Lord launch date TVD, but it's coming.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
In the spring, yes, yeah, yeah, And thank you to
Michael Buddha for having us and for giving us a
home on the network. It really has been life changing,
and I think a lot of the beautiful things that
we were able to do and experience this year were
because of our work with the network. Absolutely, a network
show has like changed everything, yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
I mean, and it's also like come at a time
where you know, major media corporations are laying off their journalists,
laying off their podcasters, counseling shows like that's also the
landscape that we've been operating under, you know, And so
it's really hard working in this industry, right, and we
try to think of ways to be fresh and innovate
(37:02):
and keep it going and keep you all in mind.
You are listeners, you know, as we continue to grow
and produce Lokata Radio.
