Is it just us, or has dating gotten way harder lately? This week, we’re diving into the messy, confusing, and sometimes hilarious world of modern romance (specifically in L.A). Are people just not dating anymore? Are we too picky, too tired, or too stuck in our DMs? Our guests Alex and Pablo join in for some brutally honest (and seriously funny) takes on what it’s like trying to find love—or even a decent date—in 2025.
Maya Murillo and Curly Velásquez are the hosts of the Super Secret Bestie Club with production support by Karina Riveroll of Sonoro Media in partnership with iHeart Radio's My Cultura Podcast network. If you want to support the podcast, please rate and review our show!

like where you guys know about that?
Speaker 6 (02:28):
I was about different? Yeah, yeah, type.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Type C is like the friend whose phone is just dead,
always at two percent, no matter what, even though you
have like a charging block with you.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
But now it's like rising versus like sun shigne or
like what Because I consider myself a B.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Plus, I would say, what are you talking about? Like personality? Type?

Speaker 8 (03:05):
Okay, Well, in my.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
No, I want to be.
Speaker 9 (03:26):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But so your spirits doing good?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
My spirit's all over the place, obviously, how's your spirit?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Mine's good?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I mean, I think we're going to kind of go
into this topic a little bit more later, but like,
just in terms of dating and stuff, I went on
this like kind of insane date. I went to a
concert and my date got progressively uh drunk and buzzed
and was getting kind of loud and rowdy. There was
like throw up and balls at the end of the night.
I'm not gonna say who it was, but it made
(03:57):
me kind of go, like, you know what, I think
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think I'm okay.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Like it's so weird to be like attracted to men
but kind of be equally disgusted by them.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
At the same time.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Was it a concert you really wanted to see too?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
You know why it didn't get me upset? It was
a concert they really wanted to see. So I kind
of was like, if this is how you want to
spend your time with the person you want to see,
that's great. Like you can't tell me nothing that the
Spice Girl concert, like that's going to.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Be met, like I spend how you.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Want to spend it.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
But it just kind of made me kind of go
like I think I'm good for a second, like I'm
just like not. And we can kind of get into
that too at some point. But like, in terms of men,
at least in the gay world, I feel like there's
not a lot of like urgent, Like there's not a
lot of urgency, Like there's not a lot of like
like oh my god, I really like somebody, let me
see what's up. I feel like everyone is so fucking
(04:50):
busy that we're like, oh, I would love to get
to know you, but I have a million things to
do and then I'm stuck in LA traffic and I
have to get up and walk the fucking dog. But
I feel like I yeah, I think my spirit is good.
I'm happy because everything else is great, and I just
like jack Off.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
That's great.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
That's that's.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
I knew that they would make you giggle. Ye best
the updates that big one. Oh yeah, okay, I did
my one woman musical comedy show.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
We were in Japan.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
At the Temples in Japan.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, what were you there for?
Speaker 9 (05:42):
We kind of just went for fun because we had
a flight credit that we need to use is about
to expire.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
It was that before or after I told you about
my show.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
That was before I had already booked the trip before
you talk about it, okay, because well.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
We thought you were going on tour.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are you going to which I don't want to spoil
You're touring right?
Speaker 6 (06:01):
Oh maybe, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
That's not my place.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
That's a good manifestation.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
And to okay, I told too. By the way, I
think it should totally be like a thing that she does.
It was so funny, it was so good, like the
range of emotions.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
The giggles.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It really felt like a I don't know, like a
cute little like girly like gay boy, you know, want
more about it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And then overall reception obviously seems like incredible everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, I'm so you know.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
It was called Maya in the moments, and it's all
about the different moments that made me who I am today.
Have been on the internet since like true two thousand
and nine, like since I'm like sixteen years old. I'm
thirty two now, so I'm a veteran pretty much. And
I also got fat shamed by my Thea's at the
beginning of the year. So this year and so I
(06:58):
recreated that moment that I found out and put it
as the third act of the show.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's like the through line of the show.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
But yeah, and then I went in March from being
like devastated by this to in like the end of
September getting a standing ovation and that's like the biggest.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And I'm healed. Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
I got like so many people coming up to me
being like, what is it going to be You're going
to continue it?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Is it going to be like a show? Show? Like
you don't want to do a short film or documentary.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Or whatever, So right now I'm actually planning on doing
a homecoming show in Phoenix, where I'm from at my
high school theater.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
I was about to experience news you have, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Just like in my senior year, Like I always would
audition throughout my high school career and just never gotten it.
So this is also liked.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Had.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
It's hard to like do something like that too, like
to put yourself on the line like that, invite people
like cel tickets. That's so hard to do and I'm
very vulnerable off Yeah, one hundred and it was super beautiful.
A lot of us were crying in the audience, but
people that didn't even know her, like some people win,
they were.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Like that was so good. It was a really good show.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
There's no better feeling than hosting something and people coming
to support and leaving entertainments like they didn't feel like
that was giving to you as a friend. That was
you genuinely made my Saturday night.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Yeah, they don't have to.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Go up to you and say that, you know, Like
we do a lot of live improv shows and you
can tell we have a good show because people come
up and love but then when it's bad, they kind
of just head for the exit, right, So.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
I also exactly Okay, So one of the segments in
my show was that I'm a Star song, which I
sang at an event in New York.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
I didn't want to og.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
Yeah, So I want to get into the intro. We
have of us two here Alex and.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
They are iconic. I have like an official bio.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Is an American content creating duo for their comedy, dance
and lip sync content on TikTok. The duo consists of
Alex and Pablo, who have amassed a large following on
their joint TikTok account where they share most of their
content and I put they are also really funny and nice.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
So we met in New York.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
From New York, We're from Texas, Houston.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Did John know each other in Texas?
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Yeah, we met in Well, we met in college at
tex A enemy first in the back of wait.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
College experience is like no, really.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
You didn't need I was needed, like did to get somewhere?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Always remember that experience is like like going to college,
Like what does that feel like to go into a
dorm room, meet new people, party with new people, do
all that stuff like.
Speaker 10 (10:13):
Good school, to get good class either, what was that
slopping down, No, it was I think I think I
came into college shy personally, super shy, very shy timmy,
(10:34):
and I left.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I think the college we went to text A and M.
One pro was it was very multi organizational base, like
just because you did one thing, that wasn't your only thing.
You could do this and this and this and this,
and there was application process, so you really had to
get used to meeting people and that really forced you
through that tunnel of having to be more social.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
So what did you choose? Like how did you go
from being super quiet to being.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
I we started off.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
There's so many like weird term and them's kind of
like a weird cold like like traditions and in terms
like there's so many like like flows, they're like freshman
leadership organizations. You go and there's flows and there's like
an engineering flow like an MSc, like like basically.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
Like co ed fraternitys for fresh yeah, for freshmen, like
very selective. I think over like I couldn't even tell you,
like over maybe, uh what do we say? Like twenty
thousand people apply and I think they only choose a
thousand kids.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
That's crazy that big that they are there.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But that's not that's mainly what most colleges push, but
this flows are for freshmen, the biggest thing you're introduced
at the beginning. So then you see all those And
I did the engineering one because I was we were
engineers back in the day.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
I know the shirt.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah yeah, this is like casual fridays on the corporate office.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Like we're having a fun, we have margaritas.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That's as a wild to me, Like I'm just like,
what is that world?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Like I have no idea what that would be like
to even be chosen for something like that.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
It was crazy, and I mean, I'm sure, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
I feel like you guys can maybe can relate maybe
on your buz feed days. But I felt like for
me it was such a cultural shot because am is
also super white and.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
I came from like I think, go to white high school.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
But it was also my friend group was like all
Latinos and like black kids and stuff, and so whenever
I got to college, like, I was like, I don't
I didn't know where to find them. So then when
I joined organization, I was like one of maybe two
Latinos or something, and.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I was like, this isn't really my crowd.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
But then you kind of for me, it was just
like okay, And then I felt like that made me
a better networker because then I was like, oh, like, okay,
now I'm learning about Oh you like mister Brightside Okay? Yeah, killer.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Was like love at first right when y'all met each other.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I knew, well, Pavla was the hot shot when I
met him, because he was we met for the last
more of the later organization I joined. He was already
in it, and we already knew a lot of people
because everything is so connected that new Pablo, and he
was in it. So I was going out for the
organization and he was one of the guys that ate
other white dudes. He's talking intimidating yeah yeah yeah, and
(13:20):
these other guys are trying to kiss but to Pablo.
So I try and waddle up and be like.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
It was when he was going out.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
I was the vice president of my organization. You know,
So when did you guys first?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I swear.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It sounds like it sounds like it sounds like it.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, no, I really it was.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
Looking back, I'm like, so, because I don't think I'm
friends with any of those people anymore.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
We can talk about that each other. Okay, So then he.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Was and he walked up, so you're kind of supposed
to network, and then he was wearing crocs, which usually
you don't wear anymore. Yeah, we got too much.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
But yeah, I walked up with crocs on, and.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
I was like, dude, sick crocks and he's like and
he like hung onto that, and so he kept wearing
c because.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
There's a group of guys trying to get noticed.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And he looks at me and compliments spotlight.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
I feel like you noticed, you know.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
And then I eventually get in and then we just
I was like the they we have.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
This thing called song Fest.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
You compete with like the men's organizations, paired up with rewarding.
You compete to raise money for charity and stuff. And
so I was like the dance captain of that. You know,
I had experienced from like ke and.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Again a way bigger deal, and I thought it was
the coolest thing in the world.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
And I said, oh my god, it's like I want
to be dance captains.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
And then to audition, we had to I like taught
them a dance called my Daddy Yankee that's where.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Has come from. And then yeah, then the competition with
song Fest.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
We didn't think we were gonna blow up, just like,
let's just pick a name, so like do it f
that's our.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Name and it ties back to like your origins.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Yeah exactly, Wow, and had to make a different one. Cool.

I don't know why motion with like a glow like
the Paris skills are around.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Cross the events exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Butterfly.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, it's like a Shrek where the guy just has
a box and opens it up.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
That's how it happened.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So you haven't made up, no, we have it, no,
but it's all been building up.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Do people do people? Do your friends everythink that you
guys are.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Like a couple of Oh yeah all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I'd say the internet thing so well, when you also
live with each other and all of our friends are
the same, and we travel and we see each other
besides big holidays every year, so we do.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Kind of feel like married though, because we feel married.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We travel together, we share beds together, we have been
through every emotion together, like angry happy.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Friends.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It'll be ten years next year.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, yeah, it's I mean that's also it just sounds
like when.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You hear you guys, we met like in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I guess it's yeah, but yeah, I think that it's
I mean, I guess I don't even think about it
because time starts to fly by.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
But when you say the number, I guess it is.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It is for it is like, that is such an
amazing amount of time.
Speaker 11 (16:45):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
When Amy pulls on her podcast, she's like, I've known
Rachel Duds for thirty years, and I'm like, no, that's
incredible for.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
That one to her for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Too, But you changed so much in ten years, so
it's so cool. Y'all got to see how much.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
H m hm hm, h.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
M hmmmm.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's a shame like timeless times, this this whole time. Yeah,
looks great. But wait, what are your signs? Wait?
Speaker 6 (17:24):
I want you to guess.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Save it for the zodiac.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
We'll give you a we're both the same, Okay, yeah,
oh I think I know.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Wait, I want to know. That's two things. Yeah, what
are your closets like?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Mm hmm oh pretty pretty cluttered, but I do it's
frequent cleaning, but it does get which.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Is weird because I'm pretty organized. But then that's because
we have different risings are different. Okay, plastic plastic plastic.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Okay, as a are.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
There like post them?
Speaker 11 (18:02):
Wouldn't there's.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
We did a video on.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yeah, there's also like I guess whatever the laundromat gives you?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So the metal ones?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
About that?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Insensitive?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Oh yeah, color coordinated? No? Okay?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
One more questions?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
One more question? How do you do with uh when
you guys fight?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Tears loud? Or do you ignore loud?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay, who's the sensitive one who gets their feelings hurt more?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I would say I'd say the same because it's it's
but like when you're with each other for so long,
you see like all sides of each other, like there's
like you, It's just it's just natural for like you
did not always be on it every single time of
the day, which is also a cool thing that I
think many most people put on a front to the outside.
But there's only a few people in my life besides
your family, that really seen you and all of your aquarius.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I think I'll be honest.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Besides knowing what it is and something about it, I
really don't know much. I wish I knew more about
the rising and if you at home, y'all guess in
the comment.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Are you guys down to talk to us about like
just the like dating and just are y'all dating? Like,
are y'all like, to be.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Honest, we really have never dated in l A.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Really it's trash. Yeah, it's terrible here. What is like
when was lest some of you guys dated?
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Oh, maybe I gotta be honest. You maybe college, like
seriously dating, like.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, yeah, I've had like one girlfriend and that was yeah,
like yeah and and and end of college you were
kind of did somebody? Yeah yeah dating yeah, like situationships
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I think that's like normal for like because y'all are younger,
like for y'all's age group, Like I think relationships feel
a little bit more like maybe not at the forefront
of what people are wandering at your age or yeah,
I was.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I think.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I mean okay, Like I feel like I come from
like all my family, like all my cousins and my brothers.
They all started having kids.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
In high school seventeen, Like, so I have so many
nieces at nephew, so many of them, Like yeah, I
count them all like I love them. Also there like
I always say, like always bring gifts for them for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And stuff, but I just I don't know.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
I think it's like I see what they have and
what they I'm not saying they missed out on anything,
but I think a lot of the times they.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Okay, I literally said they they do, because I said
the other day that being single and having no kids,
we're part of the rebellion.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Yeah we are.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
I think it's really interesting though, because I feel like
I've had like seven I'm older, I'm like thirty eight
years old, and I've had like seven boyfriends and then
a lot of like my younger counterparts have been like,
oh you know, I've had one or like and I'm like, oh, yeah,
by And it's interesting because I'm like, I think I'm
part of the generation where you know, that was one of.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
The goals, right, like one of the things like that,
like you got to get the night house and the
dog and the wife and the kids.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
And I'm kind of like the last one of those
being like maybe it's not pard, but even in my
age now, I'm like a fan ass barely. I'm starting
to like let that go and be like i think
I'm like, if God tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Were to be like you gotta go, kid, and I
like where to go to him?
Speaker 9 (21:39):
I would be very okay, yeah with like do you
feel because you've been successful in your career and that
that's why those priorities have shifted.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I mean for so long, I literally was like as
a young kid, when I would go to anybody house,
Carol readers, psychics, I always like, just tell.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Me if I'm going to have a good career or.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Not, just always.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
To a different one.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yeah, you're gonna marry one.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Amazing your brains. Just do y'all think you can share
a brain? Sometimes I think.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
It's I think it's the improblem key. Wait, you know
what's funny.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
I was gonna say, like that's kind of a huge
compliment because I feel like when Alex and I first
started hanging out, especially here in l A, our humors
were so different.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, like his was so white, Like it was so like.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
If the Hawaiian shirts and LinkedIn and from Texas didn't
give it away, I'm sorry for many people we.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
Just lost and like he still has it, but it's
developed because he's been like I say, like he's just
like he can he can handle like race humor, and
I think that's a sign of a good person.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I love that our brains kind of went with each
other too, like we like we'll share the same jokes,
we'll share the same humor. Like that's why we got
really tight, really fast, because we did have very like
cartoony brains.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I think our brain's work in cartoon mode. But I
love that you just shot.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
You just made.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
And he would have been scared.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I knew it.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
I knew it because okay, wait, I want to say
that we met in New York for a meta event.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
It was?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
It was meta comedy.
Speaker 7 (23:42):

trying to bring it live. Yeah, they were, and it
was at Caroline's this theater.
Speaker 2 (23:58):

Broadway and it was like a variety show.

Speaker 7 (25:09):

almost we were trying to go over to his apartment.
Speaker 2 (25:23):

Punky Johnson opened the whole show.
Speaker 6 (25:28):

Speaker 3 (25:32):
It was just so Yeah, it was iconic. But yeah,
that's when I met you guys.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
There We like went to like the Instagram headquarters too,
and yeah, it was it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I was like, they're funny, like they're.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
Such a good time and then we met up with
I guess I don't know when the next time we
saw you, but I then we saw you recently.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
At the Apple event. Yes, yeah, and uh we were
obsessing over I.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Think, what's her name, Kayla? Yes, from Abbit Elementary. She's
like an up and coming to me.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
I was like I wanted to go say hi to her,
and then you were like I already want.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
To say hi.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
I was like, what you say, You're like, yeah, He's
like I.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Didn't need to meet her.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, like Metaphorus, did you go up after?
Speaker 11 (26:21):
I know?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I okay.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
So I feel like in the industry, there's been so
many times where when I have gone up and said
hi to people, they kind of brushed me off. It's
a heitor miss. So then I get kind of scarred.
So I'm like, you know what, I'm just not gonna
ask unless I really wants you. I'm going to play cool.
I'm like, she has like ten people, but then she
ended up leaving the place.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh my god, I go to say hi to everybody.
I don't give a ship.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Do you also think it's because like I feel like,
I just feel like you have such an approachable attitude.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
He is a slash.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Like I just sense that right now.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
For me.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I literally just like will be like, I don't give
a ship.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
And if I'm gonna go up to you and say
you as a fucking human being and you can't, then
that's on you, babes. Like and then I'm like, oh, like,
I just don't I think for me at least I
think that because I'm in La like in Hollywood. I
come from a Latino family. My dad used to allegedly
be like a little Tolito. My sister was little Tilita. Like,
so I have this like street swag that they gave me.
(27:11):
But at the same time, I was a sailor moon kid,
you know what I mean. My dragon ball z a
big nerd. All my photos, I'm like super pricky, you know.
But it's a mixture of both and being like I'm
just a regular.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Person, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
And what I have found is that sometimes the biggest,
the bigger the celebrity, the nicer they are. And so
I'm always like, oh and I like out of high school,
I was working with huge celebrities, right and like, so
whenever I meet people in necessary like in the internet world,
are people who are like famous for you know, being
silly online, I'm kind of like, well, my friend just
performed different of thousands people at Wembley and she literally
(27:49):
texted me asking me how my nephews are doing.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You can also extend the same courtesy, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
True, So I think it's more just about like you're
you're dumb, Like I just think people are dumb. I
like I would say I spiritually have a.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Long yeah, but I just like to think I just
go through them. I just don't give a ship. But
do you get nervous, Like.
Speaker 9 (28:11):
I don't know, maybe it's just I don't really know
what to say. Like I'm like, I think the common
thing you see is like, oh, I'm a big fan
of your work. You know, I'm trying to see if
we've met somebody who's been genuinely super cool. Oh, oh,
go ahead, I.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Was gonna say Danny Ramirez. Oh he was very nice,
kept their falcon.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yes, he just like was like, what's going on? And
I love that?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, And like then chatted after Stephanie Chu also from
everything everywhere all.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
At once, so nice.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
She can't hit me in my person over the year,
and then just like what y'all think of the movie?
Like she was like just wanting to talk and it's
just very refreshing.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, so that was cool.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
But I am curious what you ask because like, yeah,
I think that's our thing. Hey, big fan of your work.
They forard a million times. Hey, unless I have a
very specific question. I love your stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I love this.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
What do you usually ask what?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I don't know that I stay to chat to be honest,
it's kind of like the way that I young guys
sometimes too, very like I'll just go and be like
like if I want hitt and a guy, I'm like,
I think you're super handsome.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
When I keep it walking, he was like this, I know,
I know.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
So he's like, I just want to say that your
amazing looks so great, babes.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I just want to say that.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
And then I walk away away and they're like.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
And I'm there behind him, like, you know, I know he.
Speaker 11 (29:23):
Said nice cross, So you get it.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I feel like I'm not Alex.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
You know what that reminds me of?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
There?
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Did you guys every much drinking?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Josh?
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Yes, it's an episode where she tells Josh like he's like,
oh no, how to hit on a girl.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
It's like you just go up to her and say,
nice shoes. And then you walk away what you did?
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Yeah, And he goes up and he's like nice shoes,
and then she's like okay, and then he walks away
and she's like, wait, you're not going to say it
talk to me and she's like no.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Kind of like the thing I don't want to I
don't want to bother anybody. I just want to give
you a love and keep it moving. Because I'm also
just like we're all busy, so I don't even show yeah,
but if I am in conversation.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
You know.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
The other thing too, is that I have like this
like facial blindness. That is, it's my real thing that
I can't retain faces. So sometimes I'll be talking to
people and not know who they are. Like I have
this friend who's like a big actress and I was like, oh, yeah,
she was really cool and was like, what.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Do you You watched her movie like four times? Yeah,
that movie, And I had no idea that was her.
I just thought she was super cool enough.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
That's the tattoo on your chest. I see where it recognizes.
It's cool seeing some people too, who like are very
like refreshing. And then even like because a lot of
times we get to film some videos with people through
our work, and sometimes you always hope that they're willing
to participate, and if they don't, they're so on the
right to. But like Sebastian Stan was surprised that we
(30:52):
did a video with an the other day and he
was like, hey man, what do you need me to do?
And I'm like, like it feels so nice and that
like that.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Jojo see she did my hair one time.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Oh I love that.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
She was nice, but it was back in the day.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
It's always I have a friend that works out like
Access Hollywood. She's like a producer there, and she was
telling me that, like some people come in that they
know that are mean, but then somebody like Kim k
who gets a ship ton of ship all times, like
the nicest person, will come in and say.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Like how is everybody and talk to people and I'm like,
you just never know, you know.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Like I saw some comments on me the other day
that they were like he seems like a terrible person,
and I'm like, I wouldn't. I I literally post about
old ladies on Instagram the whole time. Truly, all I
do is post about old women in my life, and
I'm like, when the fuck would I have time to
be Yeah, but it's kind of just the name of
the game, I think. And then when you meet other
people in it, I just am like, like, back in
the day, they used to take us like VidCon right,
(31:42):
and it was like all the big all the big YouTubers,
and I remember being like, I have never been in
a room full of people with their heads up their ass,
and I like, I don't know who they are, and
they have millions of followers or whatever the fuck it is,
and I'm like, yeah, you but you actually suck yeah
this bubble.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Like yeah, nobody care. It's not the same.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I'm just like And then I kind of hate it
now because I don't know if you guys have had
this yet too. I know that we have, like we'll
know people in real life and they're just there's just
a little leftif center. They're just like, you're not well,
that's what I always saying.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
And then online they're like hey guys, and you're like, oh,
but in person they're miserable. Well.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
We always talk about this with our friend Yasmin that
I think it's I don't know what it is, but
I think it's because it's that now it's that like
the pandemic TikTokers, I think because they never they became
famous because they were just inside all the time the
camera and now they're exposed and they have to be
in real life and they don't know how to network
because we go to so many events where like they
just like influencers are just like this the whole time.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
I was like, dude, you gotta like nobody.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Wants to talk to each other, and like, yeah, it's yes.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's a most fun part of it. Yes, and that
thanks to again college. I mean, we had to do
that so many events, so that's just what we thought.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Yeah, that's why everyone does it. We're like, oh, right,
that's what you got to do. You gotta talk to everyone.
You got to meet people. At the New York thing,
I mean, I.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Went to this event where it was like Latinos in
like the entertainment industry, and on one side it was
like Hollywood veterans and on the other side it was
really big Latino influencers and they like weren't mixing in
with one another, and it made me like very upset,
Like I just was like, does Hollywood think that they're
too good for the influencers? And you know, do the
(33:21):
influencers just like not like, come on, guys, you guys
got to talk, give me something, you know what I mean?
And I like told one of the actresses that was there,
I was so upset. She's like, maybe you need to
throw something because you need to do that thing. But
I do get upset with people like I'm like, come.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Something.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Let's get into our celebrity che and.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Okay, well I was gonna there's I was thinking many segues,
but the first one is we already said it, which
stems from who.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Jelo?
Speaker 7 (33:57):
So okay, this is our little new segment called the
Celebrity Cheese Man and slash would they be a good bestieh? So,
(34:21):
first of all, let's get into like our current opinions
about Jalo. Right, she has a new movie called Not
Not the Giggle already.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
She has a new movie.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Called Kiss of a Spider Woman the musical, Yes, music musical,
and we saw it.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Your friend is in it?
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Star you okay.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Or no, it's not, I can be No, it's.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
You did the last time It's die yeah. Yeah, but
they were in that movie together.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I don't recognize spaces.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Or name, but there is Okay, like there's a lot
about Jlo always constantly, and I think my bone to
pick with this certain thing is that people keep like
dogging on her singing voice and everything for the movie.
They've never actually seen the movie yet, and to know
that it's like has nothing to do with her.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Really, She's just kind of like the sparkles of it all.
It's like a part of a lore, and.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
Like the bigger message of the movie has to do
with like intersectionality of like queerness and trans and and
you know, an intense like political era.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Like they basically get jailed for just like kind of
going up against the administration and everything.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
You know, And then it like jumps to like the
musical scenes with Jlo, which I'm not mad.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I wasn't mad.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Seeing her, Like I love Jlo the actress, Like her
singing voice is like okay, but you know, what are
your opinions about it?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
I kind of like, you know, I'll tell you, yeah,
should the white strake eye start?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
No?
Speaker 9 (36:03):
I mean I haven't seen the movie, so I haven't.
My things on Jayla have always been mixed.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (36:08):
My mom like grew up really loving her because but
I think it was like one of the few Latinas
in like mainstream Hollywood.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
So I think she was great to look up to.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
I've always felt like, you know, like especially like as
a Latino man, but also like as minority, Like I
feel like I always have to stick up for my
fellow like Latinas, but I feel like.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
That's like a responsibility.
Speaker 9 (36:25):
So I don't know, like I feel like all the
hate she's gotten, like I'm not saying it's uh, always
not warranted, because I feel like sometimes you.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
Know, she's she does something in public, like somebody's got
to humble you, you know what I mean. But it's
also like important.
Speaker 9 (36:41):
I think my my job is and I think our
job is some of the few Latinos in the industry
that we do need to call out our counterparts. Like
I remember once Lena Gomez was getting all that hate
for what was that movie she was did again of yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
We don't want to speak of it.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
I don't we don't have to speak of it.
Speaker 9 (36:58):
But I was about to say I was just like
at that point, I felt okay, like being like I
need to call you out on that, like you know
what I mean, Because so I don't know for me,
like I don't know, Jlo. I guess I'm just kind
of indifferent really, So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I feel like my old thing is like I like,
I okay, early two thousands, Jayla was the girl, that girl,
that Puerto Rican girl, baby hair.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
She just was the girl, you know.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
And then as we you know, as we started to
get old, and we realized, like, shit, she's lipstening to
Ashanti and like taking like black women vocals and all
these things, and like even down to when they wanted
to do like a Motown tribute performance, like she did it,
and people were like, why didn't you hire like black excellence,
honor you know, Motown, you know, so things like that
(37:46):
where I'm like, dream, but I do think that like,
to have a career like that that is spanned this long,
this many decades in a in a business, is that
like does not honor people, let alone a Latina woman.
Like yeah, I'm like, go off, girls, I'm like, then
(38:08):
don't watch it, but like it just kind of I
just can't imagine what it must be like to literally
put one thing up of you on the Internet and
just receive so much hate and people making fun of you,
and and she's.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
She doesn't care.
Speaker 7 (38:22):
She doesn't have to do anything for the rest of
her life, but she's choosing to. And I didn't think
that her movie was that bad, the one with Amazon Prime.
If I had a chance to do a movie where
it was just like about my life, I would do
it and I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Give a fuck.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
This is the Marry Me movie.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I don't know it.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Was on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
No, this is I know, yeah, yea, yea yah.
Speaker 8 (38:45):
Yeah, yeah, it's the one that was very like it
was like an Yeah, it was like it was like
her songs.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
It was really like wild.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I'm like, you think about it.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
I wanted to say the first everybody want to jump into.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Okay, well, do I think she would be like a
good best friend?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yeah, I think so, yeah to me, like.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
Not yeah, not knowing me, I don't think she would.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
No, No, like a best friend to me. My biggest
gripe I had was when her and Shakira had a
little scuffle for the halftime show, because I was like,
I don't talk to.
Speaker 11 (39:26):
You, promise.
Speaker 8 (39:28):
That's still a problem then, But in general, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
I don't really know.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
But like you said, she's been doing this for so long.
That's pretty freaking impressive. She looks amazing, she's still can
and she's performing on I mean.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
It's hard to just we don't have that many like
Latina superstars like that, you know what I mean. So
it's like that are like, you know, American born and
raised New Yorker.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Yeah, yeah, I think.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
I think she'd be a good one because I would
be like, she's a Leo, I'm a fire sign. I
think I would have to be like I have a
lot of like talks, boundary talks with her, like you
never answer my calls, like put me.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
In a movie?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Is your voice for something?
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Will pay me? That's what best friends do.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Yeah, yeah, no, I would be friends. I would be
a j but I for sure tell her in my head.
Sometimes I like to have secret fights with people. We're
in a fight but they don't know. So like with
j Loo when she did the Motown thing, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (40:29):
She came in right now, I'd be like everybody, welcome
to the Zodiac portion of the podcast.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
We're just gonna be talking about signs and stuff. Okay,
we have to guess your sign.
Speaker 7 (40:54):
I feel like I should know this because I feel
like we might have talked about this before, maybe.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Like when you think of who it is, don't blurt
it out. Yeah, and then sign is what I think
it might be?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Well do Okay? Can we just narrow it down to
the water.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
Earth or okay real quick on the fire sides?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
See, I think there are tell me.
Speaker 6 (41:13):
All there No, no, I mean like say that we
will react, but just aries.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Aries Leo, Sagittarius, that's a fire.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
That is a fire air signs Libra, Gemini, Aquarius, water, cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Earth, Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus.
Speaker 9 (41:42):
But I just want to ask you more questions before
you get quite more questions, and then we'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Okay, but don't believe Okay, I want to know somebody
hurts your feelings. What do you do about it? Confront them? Okay,
what do you do about it?
Speaker 2 (41:57):
I just don't say anything.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
Damn. Okay, you go.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
But we're the same sign, which is the.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Same sign.
Speaker 6 (42:06):
Hot, cold, high love?
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
I don't know, just tell us.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Do you cry? Do you cry when in general? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (42:15):
Scorpio, Scorpio, yah away. I think I just remembered, No, no,
I think I did kind of remember.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
I was like, oh wait, it just it makes.
Speaker 9 (42:29):
Sense because that was like the most confident, like before
you were like Sagittarius, but then Scorpios.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
Scan That makes a lot of sense too. But that's
when I was like, oh do you guys cry? You
guys get emotional?
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Do you know your risings in your moon?
Speaker 1 (42:47):
To look it up?
Speaker 6 (42:49):
But that's really different.
Speaker 9 (42:50):
I feel in the rising sensitive then if we were Scorpios,
if you were, oh no, sorry, because we're Scorpios, we
should be sensitive.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (42:58):
I think that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
I think we're about to you guys think get rowed up.
I think, and you just probably react differently.
Speaker 10 (43:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (43:04):
I was gonna say, I feel like I'm not a
sense I think I'm just more emotional.
Speaker 9 (43:10):
That makes sense, Yeah, yeah, yeah, because Alex has been
more confrontational. I don't know if you like it, though, No,
I have been getting more confrontational. I used to not,
I mean shy, so I never really was. But now,
if like there's something in public, I will just like
muffle it.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
But if it's more like I do get in my
head and I am like thinking about it, you know,
I mean that's La.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I did think.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
LA really has made you more inside your thoughts and
freaking out and stuff like that. So I'd say that's
where a lot of my sensitivity comes in, is within
my own self instead of outside.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
Can I ask you about those thoughts? Yeah? What does
that mean?
Speaker 6 (43:43):
I think it's just like you.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
I think it's like you always wish you were, Like
something great happens. I always wish it happened. The grass
is always greener. Oh what if it happens sooner? Oh
I should be doing this, you know. I think that's
like it's it's impossible not to feel those things, and
then when will you stop feeling those They like you
listen to Steve Martin love like if you're listening stead
(44:10):
of only murders. Ye, don't tell Selena.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
He's another there.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
But I think he was like I feel like the
most happy, Like right now, I'm like, that's nuts. He's
like seventy he's here, But he was at the height
of everything at thirty three, stand up, Legend all that stuff.
I was so in my head and it's like now
I feel the most happy. But also that's not like,
oh my god, woe is me. It's like that's what
we chose, and.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
It is internal monologue.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yeah, it's just part of the story and you how
you overcome that, me saying as a white man, it's been.
Speaker 6 (44:43):
A room like really.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Like how you overcome that and how you deal with that,
and having someone along the way has really helped to
And I've learned so much from Pablo, So it's been
really cool I have someone along that journey and then
meeting people like y'all other creatives way different than Texas.
Speaker 6 (44:57):
For sure, it's been helpful.
Speaker 4 (44:58):
It's interesting too, just being born raise here in La
Like I had an agent by the time I was
eight years old, the like was auditioning and going to
all these editions from really young age. And so what
you're describing, I'm kind of like, what do you mean?
That's not normal life? What are you talking about? That's
been my entire life. But I think that you do
get to a point where you can look at your
body of work and be like, no one can ever
take that.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Away from And I can calm down.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
I can calm down and like trying to like I
don't know about calming down, like calm.
Speaker 7 (45:25):
Those thoughts and like I can take it. I can
chill out on the self sabotaging or the negative internal monologue.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
Time not to bring Jailer up again too, but the
other thing too about her like working so much, like
take a bright Jailer, And I'm like, in this business,
like you have to strike while the iron's hot and
if it never if it keeps going, keep going right
because business wants you to get tired, it wants you
to like fade out.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, so if you.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Can, if you can't sustain for that long, I'm gonna
say fucking yes to everything.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Yeah, I hope. I hope that I'm like an old.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Man doing similar things and I go from like being
curly to like curly. My name is Carlitos, Don Carlos Carlitos,
Like I love that.
Speaker 9 (46:08):
Yeah, So guys, do you guys feel like y'all like
I feel like to us, you guys are successful. Do
you guys feel that or do you guys feel like
you are still?
Speaker 2 (46:17):
Now?
Speaker 7 (46:17):
Yeah, I've had to change the definition of of like
what success means because I feel like I was using
it as in terms of like the industry of like Okay,
well I'm not like a main character on the TV
show yet, which I thought I would be, you know,
or like have my music out yet? So like, you know,
just certain things that I feel like when we came
(46:38):
up in like twenty sixteen and everything, and that was
like the height of bettle, like I feel like and
then since then, I'm like, oh, have I done stuff?
You know, comments are like, oh, you floped or you whatever,
like saying.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
All that shit.
Speaker 7 (46:51):
I had to really be like I cannot seek validation
from these people or the industry. Like success to me
is like, you know, hanging out with my nephew and
having those like special moments, or like being really close
with my parents and my brother and being close with
Curly and like sustaining those like long friendships you know,
(47:13):
during this whole navigating this whole industry and stuff. So
I would say yes, and like career wise, I'm like yeah,
and that's that's like in my control, you know. I
feel like I determined that as well.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
So this is fluid and honest, Like you will have
days where you're killing it and you're all over, and
then you have days where you're like, who the fuck
am I nobody cares? Like with me, when I graduate
high schol I said, I was working with celebrities right away,
Like I was banging on their doors different people to
work there. But by twenty two years old, I had
eighty seven cents in my account. I was super broke.
(47:45):
And then by twenty five, twenty four, I was serving
lunches at BuzzFeed. And that's how I got started. I
didn't start like. It hasn't been this ever even now,
even now in my career, it'll take a lull and
then it'll do this. But I think I had three
goals for myself, if I'm honest, Like growing up, I
was like, I want my own place, I want my house,
(48:05):
and I want a big dog.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Once I hit that, I was like success, you know
what I mean? And I always wanted to feel really
beautiful in my body. And three surgeries later, here I
am so like we all.
Speaker 4 (48:17):
Success and all of them, but like we yeah, I
think that you have your you get to define success
for you and like for me, as long as I'm
not back to because I'm also sober. As long as
I'm not relapsing and I'm not like uh, and I
have money in the in the bank, I'm okay, yeah yeah,
And if I looking good, I do have a big dog,
(48:41):
two big dogs, frank use my giant pit bull.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
And then now I have blue.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Yeah, yeah, so you know, I think it's just like
once you hit it, because the other thing too is
like the industry will again like chew you up and
spit you out, but you keep reinventing and you to
the side what your lane.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
Is, I think, And that concludes.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
Also to thank you for your kind words.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
Well, this is great to have be here with y'all

Speaker 4 (01:52):
For those of you who are also listening to we

But there are a lot of ads in the beginning.
So cut to the chase. Cut straight to the chase,
and we're getting in here today. But how's your spirit today?
Speaker 3 (02:06):
My spirit is good. I feel very well. I mean,
there's a lot going on.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
I just am very busy, and I'm also trying to
like keep my ship together because I'm like a type
B slash.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
C person for sure.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh yeah, well.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
Person, you know your your type A type C. It's
like where you guys know about that?
Speaker 6 (02:28):
I was about different? Yeah, yeah, type.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Type C is like the friend whose phone is just dead,
always at two percent, no matter what, even though you
have like a charging block with you.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
But now it's like rising versus like sun shigne or
like what Because I consider myself a B.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Plus, I would say, what are you talking about? Like personality? Type?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Like what kind of personality?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
Like horoscope? Right?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
You know?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Type A? Like if I say your type A, what
do you think that means?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You're anal?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Like you're on top of your ship and you're so
Type C. Yes, but that's what I'm saying. I'm B plus.
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Okay, Well, in my.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
No, I want to be.
Speaker 9 (03:26):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But so your spirits doing good?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
My spirit's all over the place, obviously, how's your spirit?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Mine's good?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I mean, I think we're going to kind of go
into this topic a little bit more later, but like,
just in terms of dating and stuff, I went on
this like kind of insane date. I went to a
concert and my date got progressively uh drunk and buzzed
and was getting kind of loud and rowdy. There was
like throw up and balls at the end of the night.
I'm not gonna say who it was, but it made
(03:57):
me kind of go, like, you know what, I think
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think I'm okay.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Like it's so weird to be like attracted to men
but kind of be equally disgusted by them.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
At the same time.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Was it a concert you really wanted to see too?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
You know why it didn't get me upset? It was
a concert they really wanted to see. So I kind
of was like, if this is how you want to
spend your time with the person you want to see,
that's great. Like you can't tell me nothing that the
Spice Girl concert, like that's going to.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Be met, like I spend how you.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Want to spend it.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
But it just kind of made me kind of go
like I think I'm good for a second, like I'm
just like not. And we can kind of get into
that too at some point. But like, in terms of men,
at least in the gay world, I feel like there's
not a lot of like urgent, Like there's not a
lot of urgency, Like there's not a lot of like
like oh my god, I really like somebody, let me
see what's up. I feel like everyone is so fucking
(04:50):
busy that we're like, oh, I would love to get
to know you, but I have a million things to
do and then I'm stuck in LA traffic and I
have to get up and walk the fucking dog. But
I feel like I yeah, I think my spirit is good.
I'm happy because everything else is great, and I just
like jack Off.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
That's great.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
That's that's.
Speaker 7 (05:15):
I knew that they would make you giggle. Ye best
the updates that big one. Oh yeah, okay, I did
my one woman musical comedy show.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
We were in Japan.
Speaker 8 (05:38):
At the Temples in Japan.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Yeah, what were you there for?
Speaker 9 (05:42):
We kind of just went for fun because we had
a flight credit that we need to use is about
to expire.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
It was that before or after I told you about
my show.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
That was before I had already booked the trip before
you talk about it, okay, because well.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
We thought you were going on tour.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are you going to which I don't want to spoil
You're touring right?
Speaker 6 (06:01):
Oh maybe, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
That's not my place.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
That's a good manifestation.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
And to okay, I told too. By the way, I
think it should totally be like a thing that she does.
It was so funny, it was so good, like the
range of emotions.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
The giggles.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
It really felt like a I don't know, like a
cute little like girly like gay boy, you know, want
more about it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And then overall reception obviously seems like incredible everybody.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah, I'm so you know.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
It was called Maya in the moments, and it's all
about the different moments that made me who I am today.
Have been on the internet since like true two thousand
and nine, like since I'm like sixteen years old. I'm
thirty two now, so I'm a veteran pretty much. And
I also got fat shamed by my Thea's at the
beginning of the year. So this year and so I
(06:58):
recreated that moment that I found out and put it
as the third act of the show.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's like the through line of the show.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
But yeah, and then I went in March from being
like devastated by this to in like the end of
September getting a standing ovation and that's like the biggest.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And I'm healed. Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (07:19):
I got like so many people coming up to me
being like, what is it going to be You're going
to continue it?
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Is it going to be like a show? Show? Like
you don't want to do a short film or documentary.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Or whatever, So right now I'm actually planning on doing
a homecoming show in Phoenix, where I'm from at my
high school theater.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
I was about to experience news you have, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Just like in my senior year, Like I always would
audition throughout my high school career and just never gotten it.
So this is also liked.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Had.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
It's hard to like do something like that too, like
to put yourself on the line like that, invite people
like cel tickets. That's so hard to do and I'm
very vulnerable off Yeah, one hundred and it was super beautiful.
A lot of us were crying in the audience, but
people that didn't even know her, like some people win,
they were.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Like that was so good. It was a really good show.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
There's no better feeling than hosting something and people coming
to support and leaving entertainments like they didn't feel like
that was giving to you as a friend. That was
you genuinely made my Saturday night.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Yeah, they don't have to.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
Go up to you and say that, you know, Like
we do a lot of live improv shows and you
can tell we have a good show because people come
up and love but then when it's bad, they kind
of just head for the exit, right, So.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
I also exactly Okay, So one of the segments in
my show was that I'm a Star song, which I
sang at an event in New York.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
I didn't want to og.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
Yeah, So I want to get into the intro. We
have of us two here Alex and.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
They are iconic. I have like an official bio.

and lip sync content on TikTok. The duo consists of
Alex and Pablo, who have amassed a large following on
their joint TikTok account where they share most of their
content and I put they are also really funny and nice.

College experience is like no, really.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
You didn't need I was needed, like did to get somewhere?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Always remember that experience is like like going to college,
Like what does that feel like to go into a
dorm room, meet new people, party with new people, do
all that stuff like.
Speaker 10 (10:13):
Good school, to get good class either, what was that
slopping down, No, it was I think I think I
came into college shy personally, super shy, very shy timmy,
(10:34):
and I left.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
I think the college we went to text A and M.
One pro was it was very multi organizational base, like
just because you did one thing, that wasn't your only thing.
You could do this and this and this and this,
and there was application process, so you really had to
get used to meeting people and that really forced you
through that tunnel of having to be more social.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
So what did you choose? Like how did you go
from being super quiet to being.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
I we started off.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
There's so many like weird term and them's kind of
like a weird cold like like traditions and in terms
like there's so many like like flows, they're like freshman
leadership organizations. You go and there's flows and there's like
an engineering flow like an MSc, like like basically.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
Like co ed fraternitys for fresh yeah, for freshmen, like
very selective. I think over like I couldn't even tell you,
like over maybe, uh what do we say? Like twenty
thousand people apply and I think they only choose a
thousand kids.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
That's crazy that big that they are there.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
But that's not that's mainly what most colleges push, but
this flows are for freshmen, the biggest thing you're introduced
at the beginning. So then you see all those And
I did the engineering one because I was we were
engineers back in the day.
Speaker 11 (11:40):
I know the shirt.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah yeah, this is like casual fridays on the corporate office.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Like we're having a fun, we have margaritas.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That's as a wild to me, Like I'm just like,
what is that world?
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Like I have no idea what that would be like
to even be chosen for something like that.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
It was crazy, and I mean, I'm sure, I don't know.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
I feel like you guys can maybe can relate maybe
on your buz feed days. But I felt like for
me it was such a cultural shot because am is
also super white and.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
I came from like I think, go to white high school.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
But it was also my friend group was like all
Latinos and like black kids and stuff, and so whenever
I got to college, like, I was like, I don't
I didn't know where to find them. So then when
I joined organization, I was like one of maybe two
Latinos or something, and.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I was like, this isn't really my crowd.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
But then you kind of for me, it was just
like okay, And then I felt like that made me
a better networker because then I was like, oh, like, okay,
now I'm learning about Oh you like mister Brightside Okay? Yeah, killer.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Was like love at first right when y'all met each other.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I knew, well, Pavla was the hot shot when I
met him, because he was we met for the last
more of the later organization I joined. He was already
in it, and we already knew a lot of people
because everything is so connected that new Pablo, and he
was in it. So I was going out for the
organization and he was one of the guys that ate
other white dudes. He's talking intimidating yeah yeah yeah, and
(13:20):
these other guys are trying to kiss but to Pablo.
So I try and waddle up and be like.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
It was when he was going out.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
I was the vice president of my organization. You know,
So when did you guys first?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I swear.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It sounds like it sounds like it sounds like it.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, no, I really it was.
Speaker 9 (13:46):
Looking back, I'm like, so, because I don't think I'm
friends with any of those people anymore.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
We can talk about that each other. Okay, So then he.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
Was and he walked up, so you're kind of supposed
to network, and then he was wearing crocs, which usually
you don't wear anymore. Yeah, we got too much.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
But yeah, I walked up with crocs on, and.
Speaker 9 (14:08):
I was like, dude, sick crocks and he's like and
he like hung onto that, and so he kept wearing
c because.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
There's a group of guys trying to get noticed.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
And he looks at me and compliments spotlight.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
I feel like you noticed, you know.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
And then I eventually get in and then we just
I was like the they we have.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
This thing called song Fest.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
You compete with like the men's organizations, paired up with rewarding.
You compete to raise money for charity and stuff. And
so I was like the dance captain of that. You know,
I had experienced from like ke and.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Again a way bigger deal, and I thought it was
the coolest thing in the world.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
And I said, oh my god, it's like I want
to be dance captains.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
And then to audition, we had to I like taught
them a dance called my Daddy Yankee that's where.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Has come from. And then yeah, then the competition with
song Fest.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
We didn't think we were gonna blow up, just like,
let's just pick a name, so like do it f
that's our.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Name and it ties back to like your origins.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
Yeah exactly, Wow, and had to make a different one. Cool.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I don't know why motion with like a glow like
the Paris skills are around.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Cross the events exactly.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Butterfly.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, it's like a Shrek where the guy just has
a box and opens it up.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
That's how it happened.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So you haven't made up, no, we have it, no,
but it's all been building up.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Do people do people? Do your friends everythink that you
guys are.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Like a couple of Oh yeah all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I'd say the internet thing so well, when you also
live with each other and all of our friends are
the same, and we travel and we see each other
besides big holidays every year, so we do.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Kind of feel like married though, because we feel married.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We travel together, we share beds together, we have been
through every emotion together, like angry happy.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Friends.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
It'll be ten years next year.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, yeah, it's I mean that's also it just sounds
like when.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
You hear you guys, we met like in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I guess it's yeah, but yeah, I think that it's
I mean, I guess I don't even think about it
because time starts to fly by.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
But when you say the number, I guess it is.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
It is for it is like, that is such an
amazing amount of time.
Speaker 11 (16:45):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
When Amy pulls on her podcast, she's like, I've known
Rachel Duds for thirty years, and I'm like, no, that's
incredible for.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
That one to her for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Too, But you changed so much in ten years, so
it's so cool. Y'all got to see how much.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
H m hm hm, h.
Speaker 9 (17:12):
M hmmmm.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's a shame like timeless times, this this whole time. Yeah,
looks great. But wait, what are your signs? Wait?
Speaker 6 (17:24):
I want you to guess.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Save it for the zodiac.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
We'll give you a we're both the same, Okay, yeah,
oh I think I know.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Wait, I want to know. That's two things. Yeah, what
are your closets like?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Mm hmm oh pretty pretty cluttered, but I do it's
frequent cleaning, but it does get which.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
Is weird because I'm pretty organized. But then that's because
we have different risings are different. Okay, plastic plastic plastic.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Okay, as a are.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
There like post them?
Speaker 11 (18:02):
Wouldn't there's.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
We did a video on.
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yeah, there's also like I guess whatever the laundromat gives you?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
So the metal ones?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
About that?
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Insensitive?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Oh yeah, color coordinated? No? Okay?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
One more questions?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
One more question? How do you do with uh when
you guys fight?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Tears loud? Or do you ignore loud?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay, who's the sensitive one who gets their feelings hurt more?
Speaker 6 (18:48):
That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I would say I'd say the same because it's it's
but like when you're with each other for so long,
you see like all sides of each other, like there's
like you, It's just it's just natural for like you
did not always be on it every single time of
the day, which is also a cool thing that I
think many most people put on a front to the outside.
But there's only a few people in my life besides
your family, that really seen you and all of your aquarius.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I think I'll be honest.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Besides knowing what it is and something about it, I
really don't know much. I wish I knew more about
the rising and if you at home, y'all guess in
the comment.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Are you guys down to talk to us about like
just the like dating and just are y'all dating? Like,
are y'all like, to be.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Honest, we really have never dated in l A.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Really it's trash. Yeah, it's terrible here. What is like
when was lest some of you guys dated?
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Oh, maybe I gotta be honest. You maybe college, like
seriously dating, like.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah, yeah, I've had like one girlfriend and that was yeah,
like yeah and and and end of college you were
kind of did somebody? Yeah yeah dating yeah, like situationships
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I think that's like normal for like because y'all are younger,
like for y'all's age group, Like I think relationships feel
a little bit more like maybe not at the forefront
of what people are wandering at your age or yeah,
I was.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I think.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I mean okay, Like I feel like I come from
like all my family, like all my cousins and my brothers.
They all started having kids.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
In high school seventeen, Like, so I have so many
nieces at nephew, so many of them, Like yeah, I
count them all like I love them. Also there like
I always say, like always bring gifts for them for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And stuff, but I just I don't know.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
I think it's like I see what they have and
what they I'm not saying they missed out on anything,
but I think a lot of the times they.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Okay, I literally said they they do, because I said
the other day that being single and having no kids,
we're part of the rebellion.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Yeah we are.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
I think it's really interesting though, because I feel like
I've had like seven I'm older, I'm like thirty eight
years old, and I've had like seven boyfriends and then
a lot of like my younger counterparts have been like,
oh you know, I've had one or like and I'm like, oh, yeah,
by And it's interesting because I'm like, I think I'm
part of the generation where you know, that was one of.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
The goals, right, like one of the things like that,
like you got to get the night house and the
dog and the wife and the kids.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
And I'm kind of like the last one of those
being like maybe it's not pard, but even in my
age now, I'm like a fan ass barely. I'm starting
to like let that go and be like i think
I'm like, if God tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Were to be like you gotta go, kid, and I
like where to go to him?
Speaker 9 (21:39):
I would be very okay, yeah with like do you
feel because you've been successful in your career and that
that's why those priorities have shifted.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I mean for so long, I literally was like as
a young kid, when I would go to anybody house,
Carol readers, psychics, I always like, just tell.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Me if I'm going to have a good career or.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Not, just always.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
To a different one.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yeah, you're gonna marry one.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Amazing your brains. Just do y'all think you can share
a brain? Sometimes I think.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
It's I think it's the improblem key. Wait, you know
what's funny.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
I was gonna say, like that's kind of a huge
compliment because I feel like when Alex and I first
started hanging out, especially here in l A, our humors
were so different.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Yeah, like his was so white, Like it was so like.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
If the Hawaiian shirts and LinkedIn and from Texas didn't
give it away, I'm sorry for many people we.
Speaker 9 (22:43):
Just lost and like he still has it, but it's
developed because he's been like I say, like he's just
like he can he can handle like race humor, and
I think that's a sign of a good person.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I love that our brains kind of went with each
other too, like we like we'll share the same jokes,
we'll share the same humor. Like that's why we got
really tight, really fast, because we did have very like
cartoony brains.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I think our brain's work in cartoon mode. But I
love that you just shot.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
You just made.
Speaker 6 (23:17):
And he would have been scared.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I knew it.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
I knew it because okay, wait, I want to say
that we met in New York for a meta event.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
What was it?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
It was?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
It was meta comedy.

trying to bring it live. Yeah, they were, and it
was at Caroline's this theater.

I guess I don't know when the next time we
saw you, but I then we saw you recently.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
At the Apple event. Yes, yeah, and uh we were
obsessing over I.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Think, what's her name, Kayla? Yes, from Abbit Elementary. She's
like an up and coming to me.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
I was like I wanted to go say hi to her,
and then you were like I already want.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
To say hi.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
I was like, what you say, You're like, yeah, He's
like I.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Didn't need to meet her.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, like Metaphorus, did you go up after?
Speaker 11 (26:21):
I know?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I okay.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
So I feel like in the industry, there's been so
many times where when I have gone up and said
hi to people, they kind of brushed me off. It's
a heitor miss. So then I get kind of scarred.
So I'm like, you know what, I'm just not gonna
ask unless I really wants you. I'm going to play cool.
I'm like, she has like ten people, but then she
ended up leaving the place.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh my god, I go to say hi to everybody.
I don't give a ship.
Speaker 9 (26:40):
Do you also think it's because like I feel like,
I just feel like you have such an approachable attitude.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
He is a slash.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Like I just sense that right now.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
For me.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I literally just like will be like, I don't give
a ship.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
And if I'm gonna go up to you and say
you as a fucking human being and you can't, then
that's on you, babes. Like and then I'm like, oh, like,
I just don't I think for me at least I
think that because I'm in La like in Hollywood. I
come from a Latino family. My dad used to allegedly
be like a little Tolito. My sister was little Tilita. Like,
so I have this like street swag that they gave me.
(27:11):
But at the same time, I was a sailor moon kid,
you know what I mean. My dragon ball z a
big nerd. All my photos, I'm like super pricky, you know.
But it's a mixture of both and being like I'm
just a regular.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Person, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
And what I have found is that sometimes the biggest,
the bigger the celebrity, the nicer they are. And so
I'm always like, oh and I like out of high school,
I was working with huge celebrities, right and like, so
whenever I meet people in necessary like in the internet world,
are people who are like famous for you know, being
silly online, I'm kind of like, well, my friend just
performed different of thousands people at Wembley and she literally
(27:49):
texted me asking me how my nephews are doing.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You can also extend the same courtesy, you know.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
True, So I think it's more just about like you're
you're dumb, Like I just think people are dumb. I
like I would say I spiritually have a.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Long yeah, but I just like to think I just
go through them. I just don't give a ship. But
do you get nervous, Like.
Speaker 9 (28:11):
I don't know, maybe it's just I don't really know
what to say. Like I'm like, I think the common
thing you see is like, oh, I'm a big fan
of your work. You know, I'm trying to see if
we've met somebody who's been genuinely super cool. Oh, oh,
go ahead, I.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Was gonna say Danny Ramirez. Oh he was very nice,
kept their falcon.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yes, he just like was like, what's going on? And
I love that?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, And like then chatted after Stephanie Chu also from
everything everywhere all.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
At once, so nice.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
She can't hit me in my person over the year,
and then just like what y'all think of the movie?
Like she was like just wanting to talk and it's
just very refreshing.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, so that was cool.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
But I am curious what you ask because like, yeah,
I think that's our thing. Hey, big fan of your work.
They forard a million times. Hey, unless I have a
very specific question. I love your stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I love this.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
What do you usually ask what?
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I don't know that I stay to chat to be honest,
it's kind of like the way that I young guys
sometimes too, very like I'll just go and be like
like if I want hitt and a guy, I'm like,
I think you're super handsome.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
When I keep it walking, he was like this, I know,
I know.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
So he's like, I just want to say that your
amazing looks so great, babes.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I just want to say that.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
And then I walk away away and they're like.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
And I'm there behind him, like, you know, I know he.
Speaker 11 (29:23):
Said nice cross, So you get it.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I get it.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
I feel like I'm not Alex.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
You know what that reminds me of?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
There?
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Did you guys every much drinking?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Josh?
Speaker 9 (29:40):
Yes, it's an episode where she tells Josh like he's like,
oh no, how to hit on a girl.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
It's like you just go up to her and say,
nice shoes. And then you walk away what you did?
Speaker 9 (29:50):
Yeah, And he goes up and he's like nice shoes,
and then she's like okay, and then he walks away
and she's like, wait, you're not going to say it
talk to me and she's like no.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Kind of like the thing I don't want to I
don't want to bother anybody. I just want to give
you a love and keep it moving. Because I'm also
just like we're all busy, so I don't even show yeah,
but if I am in conversation.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
You know.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
The other thing too, is that I have like this
like facial blindness. That is, it's my real thing that
I can't retain faces. So sometimes I'll be talking to
people and not know who they are. Like I have
this friend who's like a big actress and I was like, oh, yeah,
she was really cool and was like, what.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Do you You watched her movie like four times? Yeah,
that movie, And I had no idea that was her.
I just thought she was super cool enough.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
That's the tattoo on your chest. I see where it recognizes.
It's cool seeing some people too, who like are very
like refreshing. And then even like because a lot of
times we get to film some videos with people through
our work, and sometimes you always hope that they're willing
to participate, and if they don't, they're so on the
right to. But like Sebastian Stan was surprised that we
(30:52):
did a video with an the other day and he
was like, hey man, what do you need me to do?
And I'm like, like it feels so nice and that
like that.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Jojo see she did my hair one time.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Oh I love that.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
She was nice, but it was back in the day.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
It's always I have a friend that works out like
Access Hollywood. She's like a producer there, and she was
telling me that, like some people come in that they
know that are mean, but then somebody like Kim k
who gets a ship ton of ship all times, like
the nicest person, will come in and say.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Like how is everybody and talk to people and I'm like,
you just never know, you know.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Like I saw some comments on me the other day
that they were like he seems like a terrible person,
and I'm like, I wouldn't. I I literally post about
old ladies on Instagram the whole time. Truly, all I
do is post about old women in my life, and
I'm like, when the fuck would I have time to
be Yeah, but it's kind of just the name of
the game, I think. And then when you meet other
people in it, I just am like, like, back in
the day, they used to take us like VidCon right,
(31:42):
and it was like all the big all the big YouTubers,
and I remember being like, I have never been in
a room full of people with their heads up their ass,
and I like, I don't know who they are, and
they have millions of followers or whatever the fuck it is,
and I'm like, yeah, you but you actually suck yeah
this bubble.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Like yeah, nobody care. It's not the same.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I'm just like And then I kind of hate it
now because I don't know if you guys have had
this yet too. I know that we have, like we'll
know people in real life and they're just there's just
a little leftif center. They're just like, you're not well,
that's what I always saying.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
And then online they're like hey guys, and you're like, oh,
but in person they're miserable. Well.
Speaker 9 (32:21):
We always talk about this with our friend Yasmin that
I think it's I don't know what it is, but
I think it's because it's that now it's that like
the pandemic TikTokers, I think because they never they became
famous because they were just inside all the time the
camera and now they're exposed and they have to be
in real life and they don't know how to network
because we go to so many events where like they
just like influencers are just like this the whole time.
Speaker 11 (32:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:43):
I was like, dude, you gotta like nobody.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Wants to talk to each other, and like, yeah, it's yes.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
It's a most fun part of it. Yes, and that
thanks to again college. I mean, we had to do
that so many events, so that's just what we thought.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Yeah, that's why everyone does it. We're like, oh, right,
that's what you got to do. You gotta talk to everyone.
You got to meet people. At the New York thing,
I mean, I.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Went to this event where it was like Latinos in
like the entertainment industry, and on one side it was
like Hollywood veterans and on the other side it was
really big Latino influencers and they like weren't mixing in
with one another, and it made me like very upset,
Like I just was like, does Hollywood think that they're
too good for the influencers? And you know, do the
(33:21):
influencers just like not like, come on, guys, you guys
got to talk, give me something, you know what I mean?
And I like told one of the actresses that was there,
I was so upset. She's like, maybe you need to
throw something because you need to do that thing. But
I do get upset with people like I'm like, come.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Something.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Let's get into our celebrity che and.
Speaker 7 (33:43):
Okay, well I was gonna there's I was thinking many segues,
but the first one is we already said it, which
stems from who.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Jelo?
Speaker 7 (33:57):
So okay, this is our little new segment called the
Celebrity Cheese Man and slash would they be a good bestieh? So,
(34:21):
first of all, let's get into like our current opinions
about Jalo. Right, she has a new movie called Not
Not the Giggle already.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
She has a new movie.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Called Kiss of a Spider Woman the musical, Yes, music musical,
and we saw it.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Your friend is in it?
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Star you okay.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Or no, it's not, I can be No, it's.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
You did the last time It's die yeah. Yeah, but
they were in that movie together.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I don't recognize spaces.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
Or name, but there is Okay, like there's a lot
about Jlo always constantly, and I think my bone to
pick with this certain thing is that people keep like
dogging on her singing voice and everything for the movie.
They've never actually seen the movie yet, and to know
that it's like has nothing to do with her.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Really, She's just kind of like the sparkles of it all.
It's like a part of a lore, and.
Speaker 7 (35:21):
Like the bigger message of the movie has to do
with like intersectionality of like queerness and trans and and
you know, an intense like political era.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Like they basically get jailed for just like kind of
going up against the administration and everything.
Speaker 7 (35:38):
You know, And then it like jumps to like the
musical scenes with Jlo, which I'm not mad.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I wasn't mad.
Speaker 7 (35:44):
Seeing her, Like I love Jlo the actress, Like her
singing voice is like okay, but you know, what are
your opinions about it?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
I kind of like, you know, I'll tell you, yeah,
should the white strake eye start?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
No?
Speaker 9 (36:03):
I mean I haven't seen the movie, so I haven't.
My things on Jayla have always been mixed.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (36:08):
My mom like grew up really loving her because but
I think it was like one of the few Latinas
in like mainstream Hollywood.
Speaker 6 (36:13):
So I think she was great to look up to.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
I've always felt like, you know, like especially like as
a Latino man, but also like as minority, Like I
feel like I always have to stick up for my
fellow like Latinas, but I feel like.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
That's like a responsibility.
Speaker 9 (36:25):
So I don't know, like I feel like all the
hate she's gotten, like I'm not saying it's uh, always
not warranted, because I feel like sometimes you.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
Know, she's she does something in public, like somebody's got
to humble you, you know what I mean. But it's
also like important.
Speaker 9 (36:41):
I think my my job is and I think our
job is some of the few Latinos in the industry
that we do need to call out our counterparts. Like
I remember once Lena Gomez was getting all that hate
for what was that movie she was did again of yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
We don't want to speak of it.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
I don't we don't have to speak of it.
Speaker 9 (36:58):
But I was about to say I was just like
at that point, I felt okay, like being like I
need to call you out on that, like you know
what I mean, Because so I don't know for me,
like I don't know, Jlo. I guess I'm just kind
of indifferent really, So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I feel like my old thing is like I like,
I okay, early two thousands, Jayla was the girl, that girl,
that Puerto Rican girl, baby hair.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
She just was the girl, you know.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
And then as we you know, as we started to
get old, and we realized, like, shit, she's lipstening to
Ashanti and like taking like black women vocals and all
these things, and like even down to when they wanted
to do like a Motown tribute performance, like she did it,
and people were like, why didn't you hire like black excellence,
honor you know, Motown, you know, so things like that
(37:46):
where I'm like, dream, but I do think that like,
to have a career like that that is spanned this long,
this many decades in a in a business, is that
like does not honor people, let alone a Latina woman.
Like yeah, I'm like, go off, girls, I'm like, then
(38:08):
don't watch it, but like it just kind of I
just can't imagine what it must be like to literally
put one thing up of you on the Internet and
just receive so much hate and people making fun of you,
and and she's.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Laughing all the way to the bank.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
She doesn't care.
Speaker 7 (38:22):
She doesn't have to do anything for the rest of
her life, but she's choosing to. And I didn't think
that her movie was that bad, the one with Amazon Prime.
If I had a chance to do a movie where
it was just like about my life, I would do
it and I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Give a fuck.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
This is the Marry Me movie.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I don't know it.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Was on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
No, this is I know, yeah, yea, yea yah.
Speaker 8 (38:45):
Yeah, yeah, it's the one that was very like it
was like an Yeah, it was like it was like
her songs.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
It was really like wild.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I'm like, you think about it.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
I wanted to say the first everybody want to jump into.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Okay, well, do I think she would be like a
good best friend?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yeah, I think so, yeah to me, like.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
Not yeah, not knowing me, I don't think she would.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
No, No, like a best friend to me. My biggest
gripe I had was when her and Shakira had a
little scuffle for the halftime show, because I was like,
I don't talk to.
Speaker 11 (39:26):
You, promise.
Speaker 8 (39:28):
That's still a problem then, But in general, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
I don't really know.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
But like you said, she's been doing this for so long.
That's pretty freaking impressive. She looks amazing, she's still can
and she's performing on I mean.
Speaker 4 (39:40):
It's hard to just we don't have that many like
Latina superstars like that, you know what I mean. So
it's like that are like, you know, American born and
raised New Yorker.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Yeah, yeah, I think.
Speaker 7 (39:55):
I think she'd be a good one because I would
be like, she's a Leo, I'm a fire sign. I
think I would have to be like I have a
lot of like talks, boundary talks with her, like you
never answer my calls, like put me.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
In a movie?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Is your voice for something?
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Will pay me? That's what best friends do.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Yeah, yeah, no, I would be friends. I would be
a j but I for sure tell her in my head.
Sometimes I like to have secret fights with people. We're
in a fight but they don't know. So like with
j Loo when she did the Motown thing, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (40:29):
She came in right now, I'd be like everybody, welcome
to the Zodiac portion of the podcast.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
We're just gonna be talking about signs and stuff. Okay,
we have to guess your sign.
Speaker 7 (40:54):
I feel like I should know this because I feel
like we might have talked about this before, maybe.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Like when you think of who it is, don't blurt
it out. Yeah, and then sign is what I think
it might be?
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Well do Okay? Can we just narrow it down to
the water.
Speaker 6 (41:06):
Earth or okay real quick on the fire sides?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
See, I think there are tell me.
Speaker 6 (41:13):
All there No, no, I mean like say that we
will react, but just aries.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Aries Leo, Sagittarius, that's a fire.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
That is a fire air signs Libra, Gemini, Aquarius, water, cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Earth, Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus.
Speaker 9 (41:42):
But I just want to ask you more questions before
you get quite more questions, and then we'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Okay, but don't believe Okay, I want to know somebody
hurts your feelings. What do you do about it? Confront them? Okay,
what do you do about it?
Speaker 2 (41:57):
I just don't say anything.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
Damn. Okay, you go.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
But we're the same sign, which is the.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
Same sign.
Speaker 6 (42:06):
Hot, cold, high love?
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
I don't know, just tell us.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Do you cry? Do you cry when in general? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (42:15):
Scorpio, Scorpio, yah away. I think I just remembered, No, no,
I think I did kind of remember.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
I was like, oh wait, it just it makes.
Speaker 9 (42:29):
Sense because that was like the most confident, like before
you were like Sagittarius, but then Scorpios.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
Scan That makes a lot of sense too. But that's
when I was like, oh do you guys cry? You
guys get emotional?
Speaker 3 (42:43):
Do you know your risings in your moon?
Speaker 1 (42:47):
To look it up?
Speaker 6 (42:49):
But that's really different.
Speaker 9 (42:50):
I feel in the rising sensitive then if we were Scorpios,
if you were, oh no, sorry, because we're Scorpios, we
should be sensitive.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (42:58):
I think that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
I think we're about to you guys think get rowed up.
I think, and you just probably react differently.
Speaker 10 (43:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (43:04):
I was gonna say, I feel like I'm not a
sense I think I'm just more emotional.
Speaker 9 (43:10):
That makes sense, Yeah, yeah, yeah, because Alex has been
more confrontational. I don't know if you like it, though, No,
I have been getting more confrontational. I used to not,
I mean shy, so I never really was. But now,
if like there's something in public, I will just like
muffle it.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
But if it's more like I do get in my
head and I am like thinking about it, you know,
I mean that's La.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I did think.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
LA really has made you more inside your thoughts and
freaking out and stuff like that. So I'd say that's
where a lot of my sensitivity comes in, is within
my own self instead of outside.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
Can I ask you about those thoughts? Yeah? What does
that mean?
Speaker 6 (43:43):
I think it's just like you.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
I think it's like you always wish you were, Like
something great happens. I always wish it happened. The grass
is always greener. Oh what if it happens sooner? Oh
I should be doing this, you know. I think that's
like it's it's impossible not to feel those things, and
then when will you stop feeling those They like you
listen to Steve Martin love like if you're listening stead
(44:10):
of only murders. Ye, don't tell Selena.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
He's another there.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
But I think he was like I feel like the
most happy, Like right now, I'm like, that's nuts. He's
like seventy he's here, But he was at the height
of everything at thirty three, stand up, Legend all that stuff.
I was so in my head and it's like now
I feel the most happy. But also that's not like,
oh my god, woe is me. It's like that's what
we chose, and.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
It is internal monologue.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Yeah, it's just part of the story and you how
you overcome that, me saying as a white man, it's been.
Speaker 6 (44:43):
A room like really.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Like how you overcome that and how you deal with that,
and having someone along the way has really helped to
And I've learned so much from Pablo, So it's been
really cool I have someone along that journey and then
meeting people like y'all other creatives way different than Texas.
Speaker 6 (44:57):
For sure, it's been helpful.
Speaker 4 (44:58):
It's interesting too, just being born raise here in La
Like I had an agent by the time I was
eight years old, the like was auditioning and going to
all these editions from really young age. And so what
you're describing, I'm kind of like, what do you mean?
That's not normal life? What are you talking about? That's
been my entire life. But I think that you do
get to a point where you can look at your
body of work and be like, no one can ever
take that.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
Away from And I can calm down.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
I can calm down and like trying to like I
don't know about calming down, like calm.
Speaker 7 (45:25):
Those thoughts and like I can take it. I can
chill out on the self sabotaging or the negative internal monologue.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
Time not to bring Jailer up again too, but the
other thing too about her like working so much, like
take a bright Jailer, And I'm like, in this business,
like you have to strike while the iron's hot and
if it never if it keeps going, keep going right
because business wants you to get tired, it wants you
to like fade out.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, so if you.
Speaker 4 (45:49):
Can, if you can't sustain for that long, I'm gonna
say fucking yes to everything.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Yeah, I hope. I hope that I'm like an old.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
Man doing similar things and I go from like being
curly to like curly. My name is Carlitos, Don Carlos Carlitos,
Like I love that.
Speaker 9 (46:08):
Yeah, So guys, do you guys feel like y'all like
I feel like to us, you guys are successful. Do
you guys feel that or do you guys feel like
you are still?
Speaker 2 (46:17):
Now?
Speaker 7 (46:17):
Yeah, I've had to change the definition of of like
what success means because I feel like I was using
it as in terms of like the industry of like Okay,
well I'm not like a main character on the TV
show yet, which I thought I would be, you know,
or like have my music out yet? So like, you know,
just certain things that I feel like when we came
(46:38):
up in like twenty sixteen and everything, and that was
like the height of bettle, like I feel like and
then since then, I'm like, oh, have I done stuff?
You know, comments are like, oh, you floped or you whatever,
like saying.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
All that shit.
Speaker 7 (46:51):
I had to really be like I cannot seek validation
from these people or the industry. Like success to me
is like, you know, hanging out with my nephew and
having those like special moments, or like being really close
with my parents and my brother and being close with
Curly and like sustaining those like long friendships you know,
(47:13):
during this whole navigating this whole industry and stuff. So
I would say yes, and like career wise, I'm like yeah,
and that's that's like in my control, you know. I
feel like I determined that as well.
Speaker 4 (47:24):
So this is fluid and honest, Like you will have
days where you're killing it and you're all over, and
then you have days where you're like, who the fuck
am I nobody cares? Like with me, when I graduate
high schol I said, I was working with celebrities right away,
Like I was banging on their doors different people to
work there. But by twenty two years old, I had
eighty seven cents in my account. I was super broke.
(47:45):
And then by twenty five, twenty four, I was serving
lunches at BuzzFeed. And that's how I got started. I
didn't start like. It hasn't been this ever even now,
even now in my career, it'll take a lull and
then it'll do this. But I think I had three
goals for myself, if I'm honest, Like growing up, I
was like, I want my own place, I want my house,
(48:05):
and I want a big dog.
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Once I hit that, I was like success, you know
what I mean? And I always wanted to feel really
beautiful in my body. And three surgeries later, here I
am so like we all.
Speaker 4 (48:17):
Success and all of them, but like we yeah, I
think that you have your you get to define success
for you and like for me, as long as I'm
not back to because I'm also sober. As long as
I'm not relapsing and I'm not like uh, and I
have money in the in the bank, I'm okay, yeah yeah,
And if I looking good, I do have a big dog,
(48:41):
two big dogs, frank use my giant pit bull.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
And then now I have blue.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Yeah, yeah, so you know, I think it's just like
once you hit it, because the other thing too is
like the industry will again like chew you up and
spit you out, but you keep reinventing and you to
the side what your lane.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
Is, I think, And that concludes.
Speaker 1 (49:06):
Also to thank you for your kind words.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
Well, this is great to have be here with y'all

because you guys are reading things right, you memorize it.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
In school, it was harder.
Speaker 2 (49:49):
I'd like do worse if I tried to change like
a well just going blind, you know, so yeah, because
it'd be hard to read, and I feel like then
we'd be all right fast misspell wow.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
