Speaker 4:It's the first time we meet in person. We have messaged on instagram.
Speaker 2:I now have his number there. We've been, we've been trying to like get together for like food and like, even just to do this interview and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:he's like you know, I'm eating this or I'm enjoying that. I'm on this vacation, I'm going on a cruise. I'm like no posh.
Speaker 4:Wow, I'm like a cruise. I don't know how to cruise.
Speaker 2:Everybody who knows me knows I live in front of a desk for my entire life, so we must be talking about his schedule because I see him at Disney and all kinds of stuff. The man is just out there For people, for people who didn't know we had him on two years ago. This was for Revolucion Hispanic Heritage Month and we did his origin story there. You know Salvadoreño we talked about, you know a lot of things, but for them, for the people who haven't seen that interview, tell them a little bit more about yourself you know what I appreciate?
Speaker 1:you actually said Salvadoreño.
Speaker 2:I mean, how else would I say it no?
Speaker 1:No, it's just no.
Speaker 4:Salvadoran.
Speaker 1:There's so many different spellings for it. There's so many different spellings for it. I say the.
Speaker 2:Latino version of it. I don't know what's the Latino version. Salvadoran, you don't say Salvi. Yeah, salvi's short, salvi the flesh, that's an LA thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think so I started like around during COVID, so a lot of the situations back then where we're all kind of just cooped in and stuff like that. So obviously I ended up having to pass the time and I had already done like film and short film and I tried the YouTube stuff and I burned out. But I ended up, you know, following along with the TikTok trend and what not, and started creating relatable content in regards to stuff that was just nostalgic to me personally, like the one that really popped off for me was just me just waking up in the middle of the night, like at 2 or 3am, the TV is just blasting and it's like you know George Foreman, lean green. You know George Foreman's lean green. You know fat grilling machine and you know we'll knock the fat out. And it was like that and Betty Crocker and OxyClean.
Speaker 2:I was about to say the OxyClean one, the Shirley Temple DVD collection and stuff like that, and it was like oh, you know what, what if I do this and I post this?
Speaker 1:And it was like, oh, you know what, what if I do this and I post this? And a lot of people, they resonated with that and it was very relatable to them. It was like, oh, wow, that was so funny. I remember this, or do you remember that? Do you remember this? I'm like, yeah, I do. Yeah, do another video.
Speaker 1:I'm like, okay, so at that time frame it was just a period where nothing, or really anybody, really had anything to look forward to, because nobody really knew what was going to happen during that time yeah so a lot of people had a lot of like uh, feelings of nostalgia and was like, oh, remember how the good times were, and even up until this point within you know post-covid and whatnot, a lot of people still reminisce of the times before then, like even you know 90s, 80s or 2000s and whatnot. I concentrate particularly in the 90s 2000s.
Speaker 2:That's my, that's like my childhood to like to manhood if anything but, um, probably the only one in the room that dips into the 80s, maybe Joby.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do. It's the 80s. I love the music, I love the movie. I think we lived, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I was bike riding with the elephant ears and stuff in the 80s.
Speaker 1:Elephant ears? What the hell? You remember the?
Speaker 2:bikes with the elephant ears. You never remember those. We had these big old bikes that had these giant elephant ears. They looked like Harley Davidson for kids.
Speaker 1:What the heck, you got to check it out. Look at me mom.
Speaker 2:I mean, there was no, broom, broom. The tall bars, yeah, the tall bars.
Speaker 3:That's what you called them yeah they called the elephant ears.
Speaker 1:Did they have the little tassels yeah?
Speaker 2:I had the little tassels. Yeah, I had the tassels. Yeah, I remember those. Okay, so my, you know we didn't have a lot of us, so my had the tassels too.
Speaker 1:So we weren't really big. I didn't even know that that's what they were called elephant ears.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we called them the elephant ears. I mean that's what we called them when I was in New Jersey, they as more kind of retro, so to speak, like you were just using it for the sake of using it. I think when you start looking like for instance, you look at Stranger Things, which is like mid-80s you can see those bikes being used. By the 90s you started getting like mountain bikes, huffy bikes and all kinds of stuff. Speed bikes. People were using all of those.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I ended up using. It was like the little BMX.
Speaker 2:The Mongoose, the Mongoose, yeah, my.
Speaker 1:Mongoose got jacked from my backyard back then as a kid. I remember crying that sucked. That was like a reality check for me. I was like it was a reality check for me because I was like I live in the ghetto now.
Speaker 2:That's the time For me, like the biggest thing about those bikes is like um, the only time I got one is the one time and this is gonna be a sad story for people who are listening so the one time I got to spend time with my father, that's the one time I got that bike and then after that I didn't care because I got the bike.
Speaker 2:so you know, cool story, elephant ears so no, and I, and I apologize, not the elephant ears one. The elephant ears one came from my mom, the like, the mongoose, the one that oh okay the nice ones with the whole you know bounce and everything to them. You were able to put the pegs on the sides dang you pimped out your ride back then, bro cause. The bike with the elephant ears had a huge ass chair, man, you could sit like four people. It was like a Latino bike. Hey guys, here comes.
Speaker 3:Rafa.
Speaker 2:But hey, I know people who take those bikes now and they trick the shit out of them. They really styled them.
Speaker 4:I should have a trauma with bikes because I had a really bad accident as a kid where I broke my nose, my arm, my leg. Yeah, it was bad, so I'm surprised I'm not terrified of bikes.
Speaker 2:That's crazy.
Speaker 4:Dang.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm terrified for you on bikes, though I'm not going to invite you bike riding at all.
Speaker 2:No, don't invite me If it makes me feel better.
Speaker 1:In rollerblading I ended up breaking three bones in my arm.
Speaker 3:Just in the same arm man, I don't even want to talk about like we bought it for me and my kids.
Speaker 2:We decided to go around like the small track that was in, like leonia in new jersey, and that first day I'm sitting there riding around this whole thing and I slipped and completely destroyed my thumb and everything it was just the worst.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I guess we all had the same childhood we were outside, we were outside what did you break?
Speaker 3:what did you break? I never broke anything, but I got scrape and you things like that.
Speaker 4:That's the beauty of growing up.
Speaker 3:Especially with the bicycle, the pedals Like no more no tablets, no iPhones. No, we grew up outside when the lights go out.
Speaker 2:Being a menace? Yeah, but you more than others, you broke everything.
Speaker 4:Well, one time I broke the Tony Hawk of the show, I also broke my arm and I didn't tell my mom and I was like this all week and she was like what's wrong with your arm? And she pulled it and I was like, yeah, and I started crying and I told her oh, I was in the kitchen looking for something and I climbed up and I fell. But she would be like why are you a monkey? Like, why are you climbing on things?
Speaker 1:And I'm like I don't know, I'm trying to get the good.
Speaker 2:You know, if this was in this day and age, we'd be recording it, we'd have footage. We have footage, mom.
Speaker 4:No, I'm just kidding, send it in the show.
Speaker 2:So you have there's quite a few accounts that actually do the nostalgia Like do you, do you collaborate with a lot of those accounts?
Speaker 1:I try to collaborate when I can, if the idea makes sense. I try not to force it, sometimes when it's forced and it just feels very inorganic. Yes, but yeah, there's a plethora of a lot of nostalgic accounts.
Speaker 3:If you don't mind, if I can, just shout out to a couple Go for it.
Speaker 1:Just wanted to say shout out to Nostalgically Awkward CSA Punch.
Speaker 2:I love her.
Speaker 1:Jenna Barkley, shiny Pretties I'm probably forgetting so many different ones, but I love you all and you guys are great inspirations we'll have them running on the credits.
Speaker 2:It's like the following accounts have been very supportive and then they just start scrolling on the screen with like music and this Christmas hits. You can see them and they're just growing. That's funny. All right, so the way we do the show is we always start off with our highlights. I'm going to go ahead and start it this week.
Speaker 2:I just read where Eva Longoria is now $50 million richer, according to a headline, lauren Sanchez, which I didn't even realize. They were even like he was engaged. Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos basically gave an award, the Bezos Award. The award is called Bezos Courage and Civility Award and it's given out every year. It's $100 million to have it split. Two people get it and Eva was one of the ones that got it. I'm curious about this. Her speech is, of course, I'm honored and thrilled personally, but I'm even more excited about the impact I think we can have on the country through and by investing in the strength of Latino community. And then she went on and said the statement on Latinos in the US are a rapidly growing group with extraordinary potential, but we disproportionately lack the infrastructure opportunities we need and I'm excited to invest in that opportunity she has a foundation where she connects, like Latino men and women into lower that are in lower socioeconomic areas, with mentors.
Speaker 2:Do you think it's going to go to that?
Speaker 4:I think so. I feel like she's always advocating for her Latino community, like that's literally her thing, like she always talks about how important it is, whether it's in films and areas that are like you said it was. In what did he say? Sorry, the.
Speaker 2:Which ones? I mean she. She basically does a lot for for businesses.
Speaker 4:So she'll actually like promote. But you said she also helps people in poor areas, or what is what's it?
Speaker 2:well, she helps the people who are in those lower and the lower okay, okay.
Speaker 1:So she kind of elevates those specific areas she seems like she would she does seem to advocate For a lot of Latinos Just in general, just to help with their successes In general. I mean, I just remember the Flamin' Hot movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that actually did big.
Speaker 1:And she really advocated.
Speaker 3:Just to get the word out there. Yeah, she went on a strong campaign.
Speaker 2:She was putting people on blast on that campaign.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was putting people on blast and it worked.
Speaker 2:I mean, it got all the way to the White House. So that's how you know it works. No other friend was doing that. But yeah, she was. You know, I just curated $50 million.
Speaker 4:That is a lot of money.
Speaker 2:That is a lot of get that like. I wonder if other people applied that?
Speaker 4:what are the? Who was the other person, that one? I don't know you don't know what a recipient. I didn't look him up because I don't care. I don't care, uh, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2:Uh, no, I genuinely don't know who the second person was um, but I know that she was one of them.
Speaker 1:It was you know what's crazy is uh lauren sanchez, which is Bezos' wife. I remember seeing her as a kid because she used to do Fox 11 News.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she's a anchor. Yeah, dude.
Speaker 1:I just thought, man like, she just looks like.
Speaker 4:Is she Latina, she's Latina. Sanchez is Latina, she's.
Speaker 1:Latina, but yeah, she used to do Fox 11 News. I'm pretty sure. No, yes, she was a news person and news anchor.
Speaker 2:So it was really wild, you know the fact that she's now with Bezos, giving him a reward of $50 million.
Speaker 4:She's set for life, that's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 3:They're not married yet, they're still fiancés, yeah. But even in divorce, she's set for life. She's set for life.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, yes. So I mean his ex-wife Mackenzie.
Speaker 3:She's been like donating, giving money like left and right. I think for her it wasn't about the money.
Speaker 2:I think she was very much like she.
Speaker 1:She was probably with him since the beginning.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, she helped build this man, but she's definitely, definitely doing the philanthropy.
Speaker 3:She's donating as much as she can. She's giving away as many non-profit foundations that as much as she can. She's giving away as many nonprofit foundations that she can, you know, be part of or help his ex-wife. Definitely she's doing a lot of work.
Speaker 2:Well, for $50 million, Eva, we're right here, I know right, the Todo Latino Show and Todo Wafi could use some of those $50 million. We're in a low socioeconomic area. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3:Small business. Small business we're poor, we're poor, we need help.
Speaker 2:We could play the SPCA in the background, in the arms. Just have us twitching in the background and shit that would be interesting.
Speaker 1:Please sponsor this poor.
Speaker 2:Latino kid. Please, for $1 million, you can help this Latino host elevate his life. That would be so funny. Oh man, all right, daisy, you're next.
Speaker 4:In other news should J-Lo retire already? Oh, boy so she canceled several shows for her. This Is Me Now tour, and she hasn't commented on why, but people are speculating it's because of the weak sales. So what do you guys think? Is it time for her to retire?
Speaker 2:I'm gonna let you go first, because you, you, you told me off topic you were I think she probably.
Speaker 1:I don't think she should retire specifically, I think that she should just kind of keep on going with her movies. For right now I I just. In my opinion, a really cool, fun fact is that a lot of J-Lo's hits very Jenny from the block kind of stuff. A lot of those vocals back then were not strictly J-Lo's, Exactly.
Speaker 3:So that's true, that's actually proven, yeah.
Speaker 1:So I mean, I don't know if y'all are familiar with Ashanti.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, Well, people were always saying that, but I never knew if it was just rumors or if it was true.
Speaker 1:It wasn't like a ghost voice. It was just that her background vocals are used in those songs with like.
Speaker 4:I'm real the way you look the way you, talk the way you.
Speaker 1:That one and I forgot the other song. But basically you know Ashanti's vocals really helped out JLo's presentation and how that is.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I think even in the Selena movie she only sang the como la flor. You know, at that very point.
Speaker 2:But otherwise everything else is just you're saying, if she didn't have background vocals, it wouldn't sound as I mean.
Speaker 1:JLo's is not. I mean not to trash her or anything. I think that she's a good. She's not, as she's not as crazy hyped as a lot of people would expect her to be. Yeah, so, and I think that it's kind of weighing down and and it's and she's trying to kind of go back to the early 2000s, I mean she's trying to be nostalgic.
Speaker 4:She's trying to be nostalgic, and that's what that's what I'm trying to say, like this is where it all makes sense.
Speaker 1:Jayla, the nostalgic latina, yeah, the nostalgic latina for real, because I mean her album is called. This is me now and I think the original album, which was from almost 20 years ago was called.
Speaker 2:This Is Me Then.
Speaker 1:Or something along those lines, and she's already back with Ben Affleck, who she was dating at that time, which I love.
Speaker 4:I love them together. I love Benefrey.
Speaker 1:And you know it's wild. It just feels like she's trying to rewind time a little bit and it's just. I just think like.
Speaker 4:Maybe she's fearing aging. Maybe she's getting a little scared that she's aging and she's thinking she needs to keep up with the latest.
Speaker 3:I know, Maybe people are like it's okay to rest a little bit Like take some time off, go on vacation. Yeah, but canceling seven shows like that, very quietly, that really raised an eyebrow.
Speaker 4:I'm just saying I honestly feel like people are kind of tired of seeing her and everything. I like J-Lo. I like J-Lo. It's not about everything.
Speaker 2:I think it's about the content. Maybe she's now and this is something that was written about and even Ben Affleck is starting to get a little frustrated. She's bringing in her personal life back into the mix of all her content and he's kind of getting tired of it. Like there are reports where he's getting upset because he's like, why are you revisiting things that people already saw was like an issue back then and you're now putting it into documentaries and you're now doing so. It's like she doesn't have not only um, you know music coming out, but at the same time she has to put out two documentaries the making of this, the making of that, like back behind the scenes. Like we're not that interested in your like behind the scenes life you know what I'm saying like we're trying to celebrate who you are on, like your 18th wedding, and that's great, but nobody cares about what's taking place on your everyday motion. So the documentary is why she's carlos has something to say.
Speaker 1:I'm still trying to reach that peak and high up waiting for tonight. That was peak JLo, in my opinion.
Speaker 2:I mean, she looks, she, she's to me We've had this discussion she's, she's the ultimate entertainer. She was, you know. I mean she's a fly girl, like that was her thing. She's taking that dance and she's created what she has created from an empire perspective, and so you can't take away the achievement just because she is who she is and she's created. Whether you hate her or not, she's created an empire for herself and she's very influential and 400 million she has opened the game for many other people, who open the door for many other people.
Speaker 2:There are people like Brie Larson who are like oh, you're acting. Oh, I remember that, yeah you're acting in Selena are the reasons why I became an actress. When you have moments like that, you can understand the impact that she has.
Speaker 4:She has weaknesses, but at the same time don't go into the Madonna thing now where?
Speaker 2:you're like overextending it and so forth, like the movies aren't doing that well to begin with, so you popping out like six of them just means you're going to have six like underachieving movies.
Speaker 4:She's about to be in another film on Netflix too. Yeah, I mean she and Netflix have some type of agreement.
Speaker 2:You know the mother did okay, but it's not like it blew out the charts of anything on there if okay, but it's not like it blew out the charts of anything on there.
Speaker 1:If that makes sense, I mean, I was happy to see her out of her regular wedding roles, but she is in a regular wedding role, that's her theme I mean isn't?
Speaker 2:that I mean. That's, that's her thing. She needs like 18 weddings to to just I mean she talks about that in the documentary no, I haven't seen it because.
Speaker 3:but the funny part is that the documentary was more entertaining it kept my attention than the actual content.
Speaker 2:that was done, you know, behind the scenes, was actually more entertaining the documentary of the making of than the actual show itself and a couple of things you can kind of go in behind the scenes and you're interested in, like OK, how did the Super Bowl halftime? Like what was her process through that? Or what was her process through the making of the films? But we don't want to know all every like. You know, along with the movie coming out and the documentary coming out and the song coming out you know what I'm saying. Like it's just weird.
Speaker 3:Well, I could tell really from the beginning that she was going to you know, it all was a premise to her, you know, giving her tour or releasing her tour, and I was like, okay, I can. Now I know why she did that.
Speaker 2:If she's cancelling stuff, then that can't be good.
Speaker 3:Anyways.
Speaker 1:But I think, yeah, it probably might be low sales. I just think there's just a general disinterest and it's just not. It's not that she's overkilling, I think she's overkilling. I think she's overreaching. Yeah, she's overreaching, she's overreaching.
Speaker 2:I think she found a trend that people liked and I think she went off and decided to make a million things and like. I don't think people were interested in that many million things Like the documentary isn't helping. Yeah, in that opinion as well.
Speaker 3:You know we always have discussions and talking about things and usually we do it at the beginning. But if I asked you, carlos, what is the best way for you to contact you and why, for example, if free, to contact you, and why, for example, if texting, emailing, facetiming, in real life, face to face, when is it okay? Or to whom you know what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1:okay, it's. It's really funny because I grew up in in a lot of messaging type of scenarios, like even with, like instant message and then texting in general. I prefer that texting in general. Yes, I just I think it's weird that and I don't blame a lot of people, it's just I just don't like talking to people over the phone. It's just unless it's like an emergency or if, like, I know you like that, like that, like I don't know. It's just I, I just prefer to be reached out via text. Like, if you really need to get in touch with me, it'll be text. Otherwise, you could always message me on my social platforms, but, um, yeah, that's just a preference for me. Obviously, the only people that I would want to call is, like, if it's my parents, or like family and whatnot.
Speaker 3:Do you think it's generational?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it's generational, Obviously with like, if you're older, I think calls are much more preferred. I think it's a lot more direct, to kind of get that message out there just on the spot, that message out there just on the spot and like for me, for my parents. You know, thank you, whatsapp for you know. Letting me call El Salvador, whatsapp, you know.
Speaker 3:What about if somebody just shows up at your place and say hey, carlos, I'm here.
Speaker 1:Oh hell, no, that ain't happening. See, like back in the day when I was a kid, I was like like back in the day when I was a kid, I was like hey, carlos, do you want to go play football? Yeah, I'll be there sweetly. And then, uh, but but now sweetly, sweetly so you haven't seen that Gwen Simpson's episode I did hey yo, you want to play stickball sweetly and then they play the stickball arcade game.
Speaker 1:Um, yeah, it's different, because it was a really good feeling, because you didn't really expect who was going to be at your door, whether it's usually it was always family friends and you know, hopefully, La vecina. Yeah, la vecina, hopefully. And now it's like you hear like a doorbell, it's like hey, Jehovah's Witness, hi, oh, dios mio. And I got to tell my mom.
Speaker 1:Sometimes, you know, when she, when she visits, I'm like mama, mama, no contesta, no contesta, jehovah don't answer the door otherwise she's gonna be, you know, outside listening to the spiel for this, you know, for a long time so and yeah, so that was always that. For me, it's usually text is like the best way to reach out. In that regard, it's my preference.
Speaker 3:It's your own. Okay, so you set your boundaries. So who do you do FaceTime with or you feel comfortable?
Speaker 1:I don't like doing FaceTime with anybody. I don't, I really don't. It's different, it's just, I think, because I think more so now because of ever since COVID happened and all of us have been either had to have worked at home and be able to have these face to face conversations like everything's been kind of zoomified, if anything yeah so every time that if I do get a FaceTime it feels like a business call to me.
Speaker 1:Oh, and it feels like work for me and I don't get it. I don't know what it is. It's like como estoy traumado or something.
Speaker 2:He's traumatized as soon as I hear that FaceTime Seeing too many faces.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just, I don't know, it's weird. I would just rather talk to them in person. It's a lot of fun that way.
Speaker 3:What are your thoughts to seeing how you break this down?
Speaker 4:Just, don't contact me at all. I'm just kidding, I'm like, just don't do it.
Speaker 1:No mandamos correo. We're going to give her a mail.
Speaker 4:I like talking on the phone, but I feel like lately, just if it could be a text, text me. You don't have to call to ask me hey, are you going to be there later? Just text me. Are you going to be there later? Or if you want to have a full conversation, text me. When can you talk? You know?
Speaker 1:But what if it's really good cheese man?
Speaker 4:Okay, then I'm, there.
Speaker 1:They're like just call me now.
Speaker 4:Yeah, call me now, At that point you know what I'm all setting up my phone like okay, what's going on?
Speaker 3:What about the person that shows up on announce Depends? Who that person is? Oh no.
Speaker 4:I hate that Because I look the ugliest at my own house, so don't show up at my house please. I have my little pimple patches, my little big bow hairband.
Speaker 2:Spot going on, and here's a picture.
Speaker 4:No, I think no. You need a heads up for sure. Text message I would say what about you?
Speaker 2:Rafael, all right, so let me see To answer these. So text messaging, I feel I'm like what Carlos said, so I'm a little older, so I will text with you to a certain point if I feel that conversation is going.
Speaker 3:Anything more than 30 minutes.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no, it's not going that long. If I got to talk to you for 30 minutes. We're getting on a damn call.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you right now. He'll just tell me, he'll text me. Hey, are you free at 4? Are you free at?
Speaker 2:4? And it's like four minutes away.
Speaker 1:I think so, and then go.
Speaker 2:I'm not from that generation of texting for hours we are not doing that I will text with certain people back and forth if I'm doing multi-people.
Speaker 3:Multi-texting.
Speaker 2:But if we're getting to the point where we're having more than 5, 10 minutes, I'm just going to give you a call, because it's just way too long to explain and I'm not trying to keep a record of everything that I'm doing through texting. We're just going to call From a FaceTime perspective. I don't like doing it, I hate doing it. Even with my own family, like I think my mother and my brother are the only people to get FaceTime. The only time I ever use FaceTime, aside from that, is if my kids are at the store and they're trying to point out what kind of ice cream I want and they're just showing it to me like, hey, is this the one?
Speaker 2:And I'm like, no, keep moving to the left, keep moving like it becomes like a trajectory type thing, like where they become my eyes. But what is your? Favorite ice cream though vanilla bean I'm a huge vanilla bean why you gotta be. So that's kind of basic yeah because I'm a basic dude. I'm the same guy who wants you to call me instead of texting me.
Speaker 3:Or, lastly, about the person that shows up and announces at your house.
Speaker 2:You better have money or comida.
Speaker 4:If you're going to come if you showed up at my house unannounced?
Speaker 2:first of all, don't ever. Because, like I don't pick up my house unless, like we do normal pickup. But I don't like clean, clean unless I know yeah.
Speaker 3:You know, like once Latina, keep the house clean. You know what I'm saying? Like we don't have a maid.
Speaker 2:So like it's not, like we're going to come over here and that house is going to, so you're not coming into my house, like even if you showed up unexpected, we're having a conversation at the door. Like you're not, and you could and I'll be. Like so, yeah, so you better have like a ton of money or you better have brought some banging food that in my house has to obviously be ready. But other than that, yeah, you better call me, we better arrange it. There's a Calendly there that you can turn around to schedule the meeting and that's through Zoom. So let's, you'd have to go a whole different route if you want to show up at my place. Like no, you'd have to go a whole different route.
Speaker 3:If you want to show up at my place Like no, I definitely think that is. Yeah, it's generational. I have acquired a taste for texting. Texting has become very if you remember, now that we're talking about nostalgic I was a Blackberry. You know, warrior I was. I'm taking me back and it's just telling me because I was like and the razor.
Speaker 2:I miss the Blackberry, the razor.
Speaker 4:The razor. I had the pink razor yeah man.
Speaker 2:Literally.
Speaker 3:I kept it to the last of the last time, before I had to transfer from an Android to an iPhone. I kept that blackberry to the end. I loved it.
Speaker 2:But doing calls, I will keep the calls to my old folks, my grandmother my abuelita, my mom, because that's how they want it, because they don't have the patience to be texting for hours. You know what?
Speaker 1:Now that I think about it too, now she brings that up, I think even at that time, even back then, nobody really wanted to text, because each text was 10 cents.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:And nobody was trying to text at that time. So you really just like, hey, one text, and then you had to call them.
Speaker 3:After 9. After 9.
Speaker 1:It wasn't just that.
Speaker 2:Look, we have the iPhone, which has a whole keyboard attached to it where you can actually choose Back. Then you had to text. There was three letters per number, unless you had a Blackberry. Yeah, but if you had a Blackberry, aside from that, I think the Motorola Razr you had to like, you had to Blackberry but aside from that, like I think the Motorola Razr, you had to like you had to hit the button three times to get an R.
Speaker 4:The psychic for some of them that had the psychic.
Speaker 2:It took forever to do that.
Speaker 4:Can we talk about the house phone too? Who still has a house phone here, Because it's been years?
Speaker 1:I recently got rid of my landline. I felt really bad.
Speaker 3:I felt sad. That was a treasure.
Speaker 1:It was like a part of me yes, it's like a part of me just kind of died a little bit. Yeah, because you know, I know my house number, you know by heart, and it was just something. It was like I felt like I didn't want to let it go. But the thing is that every call that would come in was only from telemarketers. Yeah, yeah, that were coming in. Well, question Cord or non-cord?
Speaker 2:Huh, did your landline have a cord or non-cord? I had both. Okay, because I think like it was easier to transition out of that if you didn't have a cord Like, because it was already basically a cell phone Like, you were just using a cordless. But if you had, like the, the traditional cord where you had to, like, have a 20 foot cable in order for you to go to like the next room and hide from your parents.
Speaker 4:At 3 o'clock in the morning, oh my god getting caught because your parents had a phone in the room and then you had, you took one, the callback.
Speaker 2:The callback, you know when you call somebody no when they picked up on their You're having this conversation who?
Speaker 1:is this. He's like I'm trying to, you know, holler at this girl in middle school, like, yeah, so I'm thinking about you know this dance that's coming up. I'm like let me put out the beat. I'm like, master, get the level on no they pick up and just start dialing because they see nobody else.
Speaker 4:They pick up and they're like do, do, do, do, do. You hear it and you just click so you don't get in trouble.
Speaker 2:You're like yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 4:Or cross the line.
Speaker 3:He's like hello. Who are you, Hello? Who is this Hello? Hello Kids.
Speaker 2:It's really awkward. You got a challenge for us, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I was just going to talk about it. Yeah See, these are really nice little nostalgic things that really jogged the memory for a few things. So I just wanted to bring up a few like a little challenge. It's not really a challenge, but just more or less like what you guys think about or if you guys have had that type of nostalgic experience yourselves. One thing that really came up, which is funny, because it's just social media in general do you guys ever watch America's Funniest Home Videos?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I spend my Friday nights.
Speaker 1:I was just thinking about how that was essentially the first real piece of user-made content that was submitted for that time frame. That just went viral in that sense. And yeah, so I mean I was going to ask you if you guys ever watched that, or if you guys ever made time to actually watch that show, or did you just catch reruns, or are you just a fan of Bob Saget?
Speaker 3:I did because I was watching, you know, Full House. I was really a fan of Full House.
Speaker 4:I was watching it. I remember that that was like the TikTok version of funny videos.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we tuned in. It was every Sunday, I think you tuned in on Sunday nights, I think. For me, I used to love it, just because I used to watch the ones where the people got messed up. Obviously they had all the pet ones which were really cute, and some of the baby ones were boring as shit. But there were people who were in weddings.
Speaker 1:They were busting their ass.
Speaker 2:You always see people falling and then there's some that you're just like wow, that's pretty close to death. I don't know why people were laughing in the studio. Somebody just went through a brick wall and they're like so many crotch shots or hits in the nuts.
Speaker 1:They're in the audience when they're about to win $10,000.
Speaker 3:Yeah, when they came at the end of the season. They go for the who's the best.
Speaker 1:Okay next one, the blue tin of butter cookies.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, always deceiving. You actually had cookies in yours.
Speaker 1:On occasion.
Speaker 2:Yeah, mine was sewing kits and shit.
Speaker 1:Okay, but have you guys had those butter cookies?
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, because of the holiday thing. Yeah, I had them for Christmas.
Speaker 4:I thought it was a rich thing because my mom always had sewing stuff in there. So I was like I guess we can never have the actual cookies.
Speaker 2:I was like I guess we can never have the actual cookies and the rich people gave your mom the tin.
Speaker 4:Oh my God, I'm like oh, it's a rich thing, you know.
Speaker 1:Okay, next one Ordering from the kids menu at a Mexican restaurant, latino restaurant or something along those lines, meaning, as a kid, me personally. You know we would go to, like you know, go to a pupusaria Because it was Salvadorian right. We would go to, like you know, go to a pupuseria because it was Salvadorian right, but I would end up not liking pupusas. I would be like I want the hamburger. Yes, yo quiero la hamburguesa. I want the hamburger, yo quiero el pollo, the chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1:Did you guys have those experiences, or did you have, or even as parents or anything, did you guys?
Speaker 2:ever have to deal with that? Or did you order from that menu? I, I did in dr. So when we went to dominican republic I was like eight or nine or whatever it was at the time and they would take. They would take us to the restaurant that's like right off the block and they would have all kinds of stuff on the menu, you know rice, beans and blah blah, and I would always go for the damn burger or the pizza every single time. And I think for me the reason for that is because we ate so much at home rice and beans and mangú.
Speaker 3:Comida criolla.
Speaker 2:yeah, so the one time that we were at the restaurant me being in DR and not in the United States I'm like, oh, this is the time I can get something that for me was nostalgic. I was buying something from the United States, technically speaking.
Speaker 1:From El.
Speaker 4:Unais yeah.
Speaker 2:So that was mine.
Speaker 4:Chicken nuggets all the way.
Speaker 1:Even at like at the yeah oh that would bug me.
Speaker 2:We're at like a cultural place and somebody orders chicken nuggets Not anymore, but before. Yeah, oh, we're at like a cultural place and somebody orders chicken nuggets.
Speaker 3:Not anymore, but before. Yeah, I'm like I was raised in Panama, but it was a novelty on the weekends to go to McDonald's or Kentucky for chicken, whatever you wanted. Burger King, it was an adventure, you know. It's like oh my God, I'm going to have a burger.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but did you go to a Latino restaurant and order that stuff?
Speaker 3:No, because you know I'm like I stuff. No, because you know I'm like I was eating.
Speaker 2:You know regular food. No, you know it's like, because that's what he's asking is if you went against the grain.
Speaker 3:You know the thing is that panama is so different. Like when I wanted american food at the time I would have to go like to an american restaurant, to the canal zone where, at the time, you know my grandfather that's right was working there and then they would have the franchises.
Speaker 3:But I would specifically go there when he's like he had an American cafeteria and it was really nice because, like you say, at home I eat West Indian Caribbean food and then this was the novelty to go out there and say I want to have a burger or fries.
Speaker 2:I had Jewish people going to church on Sundays or on Saturdays they were going to walking to the McDonald's as a family. They were like, oh shit, dressed up nice.
Speaker 1:Hopefully I'm not cutting off on too much time. No, no go on Church lamps. I don't know if you guys ever grew up very religiously or anything like that. Me personally I'm not, but I was dragged to go to Misa quite often. I would be really bored. One of the things that I would always look at are the lamps at the church. I would always wonder if this lamp would fall, who would?
Speaker 3:it hit, who would it hit? Did you guys ever look at the?
Speaker 1:church lamps or look at anything would fall. Oh my goodness, who would it hit. Who would it hit? Who would it hit? Did you guys ever look at the church lamps or look at anything?
Speaker 4:and just be like Intrusive thoughts. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:All the time I think. So you know, I'm very curious and observant, but, yeah, I would like be, you know, one day, like doing the incense and it's like you know, god forbid.
Speaker 2:So you guys all went to Catholic churches. Yeah, you were in a Catholic church.
Speaker 1:I mean yeah, I mean I didn't really have a choice. No, no, I'm just saying I'm asking for yeah or yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I, you know, my mom was Pentecostal. So it was just a different setting for me. So I was just waiting to anybody who was looking straight up. They were just considered holy like people like. But we were there for like three, four hours, that was and then the.
Speaker 4:The only thing I remember is standing up, sitting down, standing up like oh my goodness. Being a kid at church, I hated that part yeah, that's a, that's definitely a catholic that'd be really bad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just for reference. Uh, for people that are watching this, it's quite often when they would do a song or some kind of a prayer. You'd have to get down and they had these special little bench for your knees, the fatties yeah. And you just lean on them and you pray and whatnot?
Speaker 2:That's sad.
Speaker 1:And then you get up.
Speaker 2:Super comfortable when you had to do that, especially after sitting down, yes, which for a kid seemed like it was taking forever. And now, when you go back and look at it, these people timed it to a T to make sure that there was a one hour mark, because they had like three or four of these masses in a row. So you know, for those of you who are like churches that were like Pentecostal and stuff like that, you gonna want to convert because they do it in like an hour. And I'm just kidding, they do it an hour. And yeah, they were like the, the, what is it? The Mary's, mary's sacraments, and okay, then they get up and then they're back down and then they get back up, and then there was the little cross thing.
Speaker 3:I will sit down, sometimes even as a kid, I was like you were allowed to.
Speaker 2:No, they say I don't chanclet, no, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3:You're like but they're going to get up again. We're going to sit down again, we're going to kneel down again.
Speaker 2:Your parents are going to be like where are you sitting down and you're just like, oh shit, You're like scared in church.
Speaker 1:Okay, next one is shoe stores. Okay, next one is shoe stores. As I don't know if your parents would take you to Payless or warehouse shoe sale or whatever. But was it always a good feeling for you guys when your mom parent would just say when you put on the new shoes, okay, try them out Y ponte a correr.
Speaker 2:Start running, start running. There's some people who run out the store and never came back. But yeah, it was like modeling, like you were just, you know you put on your shoes. You were like you feel like you're on the catwalk. You know you got your Air Janits on.
Speaker 3:Especially pinching the sneakers right at the tip. Yeah, yeah, is your toe right there. Is your toe right there, is your toe right there.
Speaker 2:It was some off-brand sneakers or like it was just some weird stuff, like the Nike symbol was upside down.
Speaker 4:It was affordable, though. That's why it was called T-Mers, that's before Payless turned around and became really expensive. Does that even exist? You used to buy.
Speaker 1:Payless for like $10.
Speaker 2:It was the place, and then, all of a sudden, you were buying.
Speaker 1:I'm like why I?
Speaker 2:can get like the knock off or whatever at the Nike store.
Speaker 4:Do they still have some open or is it completely? No, I think they went bankrupt.
Speaker 1:Payless is open international. I think Just not in the US.
Speaker 3:The name continues.
Speaker 2:I wonder if it's bougie across the sea.
Speaker 3:Where'd you go I?
Speaker 1:went to Payless Next one Lunch. Ladies, I don't know if you guys would ever go to school and they would always be very endearing to you and they would give you your food and whatever, and then it would be like enjoy baby, or enjoy sweetie, or enjoy my school you know, and they would say all of these sweet terms of endearment, and did you just? Did that ever happen to you and did you ever get a funny feeling out of it?
Speaker 2:My lunch lady was an ass.
Speaker 3:Oh man, I didn't experience that.
Speaker 2:Even on pizza Fridays. That woman was terrible, so I don't know where you got your lunch lady from, and I was in a good neighborhood too, but they were just always miserable like I think I can see you dealing with people like me at the line, but I mean, they were just mean, dang man I got that everybody hates chris, type of like lunch lady hoping for a happier kind of.
Speaker 2:Uh no, you, you got. You got the good end of the stick when it came to that, oh man I got the sweet ones you did you got the sweet one.
Speaker 1:Maybe it's specific, maybe they just didn't like me it might be that maybe they would just ask me like man, did you have like a bad rep or something?
Speaker 2:no, I mean, I was very well unknown. You know what I'm saying. Like I, I didn't go up there causing any problems, I barely had. You know, we did have, like the, the reduced meals. So maybe they just looked at me and they were just like, oh, it's a reduced kid. What is a reduced kid?
Speaker 4:It's a reduced meal.
Speaker 2:kid, it's when your parents couldn't afford like the main meal and you got like a reduced price yeah no, your mom used to send you with, like whatever amount was the leftover.
Speaker 4:Oh no, yeah, I was a reduced kid too.
Speaker 1:Now that you recall yeah, I remember that people would always be like slinging their lunch tickets like for like 20 bucks for like the whole month.
Speaker 2:Damn, they were scalping their lunch tickets, you know I got 20 dollars here I got 20 dollars worth of meals right here. I'll take that sweetly it's. It's like I'll trade you a bubblegum rap card. That'd be crazy.
Speaker 1:And then, lastly, language barriers, whether it was for you or, as your parents Just wanted to bring up, inglés sin Barreras, or for people that are non-Latino Hooked on Phonics worked for me.
Speaker 2:See, we were talking about this off-show and I had no idea about Inglés Sin Barreras.
Speaker 3:I'm surprised you never heard about it. I never heard of it.
Speaker 2:Infomercial? Maybe I saw it, but mentally I don't have a clue what you guys are talking about.
Speaker 1:It had a dope graphic on it too. It was like a nice little blue, with the city nightlife and a big old moon or a sun, I don't know. There's a plane that's flying towards the sun.
Speaker 2:I mean why?
Speaker 1:Because it looks nice. It looks aesthetically pleasing to me.
Speaker 4:It had nothing to do with the learning English. Well, that's what it was. It was a little random.
Speaker 2:Did any of you use it? No, no, it wasn't random. Did any of?
Speaker 3:you use it? No, no, no, not necessarily, but we look it up. But I know by friends.
Speaker 2:He said like you were the parents, Like, if you know parents and so forth, no. I know people who used Hot Down Phonics Like that I know.
Speaker 1:But yeah, but it was like it was something that was heavily sponsored, like if you watch Sabado Gigante or Super.
Speaker 1:Domingo or any one of those variety shows. Back then they would always be a huge sponsor because they would try to help people with that barrier that couldn't speak English. And they'd be like here, buy this set of Inglés Sin Barreras, which translates to English without barriers. And it was like this big old set. It was like 20 VHS tapes. It had like a bunch of workbooks. They had cassette tapes for them too. It looked dope Like. When you looked at it you're like damn, this is a dope ass collection of all of this stuff.
Speaker 2:They had it all lined up in like six books.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man Watch when I find them, then you know it's like when you're trying to order the 2000s collection of Kenny G oh dang. So it's like that, and but I was just wondering if you guys had to ever, ever like, even use any type of language type of stuff.
Speaker 2:I think my kids used the like, like the Hooked on Phonics. But Hooked on Phonics is different because you know the English in Barreras, I think is teaching you how to learn a new language, whereas Hooked on Phonics is improving the English language or trying to make it easier for that so yeah, but I I was shocked you guys mentioned it.
Speaker 2:I was like I had no clue what you guys were talking about. They're gonna be like oh, are for not knowing that, and I'm like well, I mean, I just I want to know if anybody actually bought it from right when they were promoting it on TV.
Speaker 1:I think we need to have an interview with the person that bought one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean I'm curious for those and the people who bought because I'll tell you what we did buy. We bought a ton and if you had Q&R, you were the shit like. I mean, it's just one of those things where they were so rare it was like collecting Pokemon cards but the guy would come in and it was like $167 for the entire volume. So if you had one in your house you knew you had money.
Speaker 3:So Joby had money no, my grandmother, they saved up the thing is that they saved up, because the thing is that I got the Britannica because my mom was living in the United States, working in the United States, and then she will send it to me in Panama. But that's how I got it.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, so you ended up getting like an edition in the mail. You were all excited Like you had just received money.
Speaker 1:I bet you the shipping.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, I got D I got D.
Speaker 2:she's like ABCD, and then the rest of the internet is gone they're all marked, they're all marked
Speaker 3:by letters. Man, yes, they do. Yeah, they were all like so, if you had a, if you had a school project. You were going into that 1940 history and like digging it in because they were all outdated, so it was crazy.
Speaker 2:I was going back because I know you do a lot of 90s and 2000s. I decided to ask chat gbt because I don't want to be biased about this, okay so I picked out a whole bunch of shows that were they had a criteria the.
Speaker 2:The latest it could have started was like the 19, like 1988, and then it had to go. If you were a 2000 show, you had to start in the 90s and then go in there. I gave it to chat gbt to turn around and come up with the top 10 for that. There's going to be some that are probably not on here that you're going to disagree with or agree with, but these are the top 10 most popular shows or nostalgic shows of the 1990s 2000s, according to ChatGBT.
Speaker 1:Are they in order? I have an order Okay, starting from 10.
Speaker 2:Starting from 10. Okay, here we go From 10,. Boy Meets World.
Speaker 1:I enjoyed that show. That was TGIF. That was peak TGIF.
Speaker 2:So that was number nine. Number I mean sorry, number 10. Number nine is Beverly Hills 90210.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, that was definitely hooked on that one.
Speaker 1:You didn't watch that, surprisingly. I didn't watch that, really. No, what?
Speaker 4:I know I'm surprised. No.
Speaker 1:Okay, what is weird? Because at that time it was dealing with high schoolers and I was probably like in elementary, so I didn't really you probably didn't watch it that much. I didn't relate, so all I know is just Luke Perry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, he was the biggest thing. What year were you born?
Speaker 3:Jason Bristley was like my thing, 83. Oh, oh, okay 83.
Speaker 2:Also, you're part of an 80s kid. Yeah, very cool. Alright, number 8 Family Matters. Family Matters, yeah, family Matters.
Speaker 4:Steve Urkel for people who don't know what we're talking about.
Speaker 2:Friday night, I do that number 7 In Living Color, my favorite show.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love that show, yeah. In Living Color transcended comedian very much so I love the weigh-ins, and it featured your favorite fly girl too. Yep, just talking about.
Speaker 2:So for those of you who don't know, that's where J-Lo kind of got her superstardom from and she went fast on that. She started in the back lines and then was in the front lines in the second season, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:As quick as you fell in love with her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I like how you went yeah, no, you're not supposed to tell them. Selma will think I'm cheating on her. So Selma Hyde that's his crush.
Speaker 1:Yes, number six, fresh Prince of Bel-Air yes, yeah, I did not watch it live, but I did watch a lot of reruns. Oh okay, yeah, I watched it live, but I did watch a lot of reruns. I watched it live. I thought it was an amazing show.
Speaker 2:5 is ER hell no with George Clooney for me, it was just too serious. I would have personally put something in there like Bill Nye, the Science Guy did you ever watch Matt TV?
Speaker 3:is it there?
Speaker 1:Matt.
Speaker 3:TV was cable.
Speaker 2:It was after living color no, yeah, it was after after I feel like that was more adult audience, though I don't know.
Speaker 3:Anyway, go ahead it's good. Number four is x files oh, that music comes to my mind.
Speaker 1:I didn't watch it but the intro was always freaking, you posted it on some of your stuff.
Speaker 3:So it was huge, though.
Speaker 2:Yes, that intro so number three, which is kind of weird that it's number three, but I can see why it would be.
Speaker 1:Number three is friends okay, I do not enjoy that show I almost know I understand why people like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just for me. It's just not for me not on this list.
Speaker 1:I understand why people like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just for me, it's just not for me, not on this list was to show that Friends was technically like taken from was Living Single, which I think was.
Speaker 1:I love Living Single. We are living single.
Speaker 2:So this is why I asked Chad GVT because, that I would have replaced Friends immediately with Living Single, so Living Singles came out first, maybe we don't know yes. So Living Singles came out first Maybe, we don't know, yes. And then Friends came right after that with the same exact concept. Dang, I didn't know that. That's crazy. Number two Saved by the Bell, I love.
Speaker 3:Saved by the Bell. Oh my God, my Saturday mornings.
Speaker 2:Which is kind of weird because, saved by the Bell, only had like two or three years into the 90s. It started in like late 80s.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't think it was a thing for me, but I remember it. It was huge.
Speaker 2:I mean. I think it was probably the number one transcending show that we've ever watched.
Speaker 1:It was one of those shows where I felt like I was growing up with the kids. Yeah, because it had been there where you kind of see them go through from.
Speaker 2:Development.
Speaker 1:Yeah, through like as adults also, so it was really cool, oh yeah.
Speaker 4:They started even making like movies. Mario lopez is in that show.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he looks super young. So he looks just like he did in that show. Like it's insane. I don't think the guy ever he made a pact with somebody if you guys make a an opportunity.
Speaker 1:Look up zach moores versus ac slater.
Speaker 3:They get an actual fight. It was really. Do they really?
Speaker 1:in the show. I mean it was obviously's acting, but it's just really crazy. I remember seeing that as a kid I was like, oh my God, why are they fighting? Anyways, shout out to Mario Lopez, feel free to come on the show.
Speaker 2:Don't let them do the show Number one show, which I agree with. I'm a huge fan of this show, but it was another show that started like late 80s and only went into like a little bit of the 90s, but it's so iconic that. I think anybody can go, so number one was Wonder Years.
Speaker 4:I thought you were going to say Full House.
Speaker 2:Full House is more 80s than it is anything else.
Speaker 1:Full House started, I think, in 86, 85 yeah, because with Wonder Years it came out in the 80s.
Speaker 2:It came out in 88 and ended in 93. But it's a period and it takes place in the 60s yeah, late 60s, late 60s, early 70s, and then it goes into a little bit of the 80s, I think. Where it starts Well, I think it ends towards the late 70s, when they're like they remade the Wonder Years again.
Speaker 1:Yes, and they kept it in the same time frame, which I think was a huge mistake. But if you were to make a Wonder Years now at this point, it would be a show that took place in the early 2000s.
Speaker 2:Like if you did the.
Speaker 1:Wonder Years yeah, if you did. The Wonder Years yeah, if you did the Wonder Years?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because I mean the show that they did, that's with an African-American family, I think.
Speaker 3:Right, right, yeah, the new version.
Speaker 1:The new reboot. Yeah, and it just got canceled too, unfortunately.
Speaker 2:Exactly they did. They obviously didn't give it a chance to matriculate. It was. I think it was good. I just think that nobody was really invested in seeing the same period piece from the same time frame.
Speaker 1:You're saying if they chose a different time frame they would have done better. Yeah, I think it would have been something a little bit earlier.
Speaker 2:It's because not too many people would be able to.
Speaker 1:I mean I understand the class and all of that stuff. It's just for that time frame.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because the time frame is the 70s.
Speaker 1:Because the people that were watching the original one in the 80s actually lived through the 60s.
Speaker 2:I think yeah.
Speaker 1:And whereas I think when you're releasing a show in 2023 about the 60s, again, not many people lived in the 60s around that time, so I feel like it was a miss If they would have done it in the 80s or even the 90s. Then most people would be like like yeah nostalgic about it, it would be a lot more relatable. Oh, I remember that time. I see what you're saying. Yeah, because they remember their own wedding years. That's a cool assessment.
Speaker 2:I didn't realize that.
Speaker 3:Of course. So I don't know how good or bad it was.
Speaker 2:It's really good, but I see his point, I figure if they're going to do a show that does the Wonder Years, you kind of go into a period where people can kind of jump on and be like okay. Plus, if you're going to do because I think Everybody Hates Chris kind of taps into the 70s a lot and so I think that's but that came out in the early 2000s.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm saying it goes in conjunction with what.
Speaker 2:So I think that's, but that came out in the early 2000s yeah Well, I'm saying it goes in conjunction with what you're saying. So that's like a 20-year period. So it came out in the 80s, people knew. The 60s Came out in you know the what is it? 2000? Everybody hates Chris. Or late 90s, 2000s, and so it hit the 70s. So technically you would be in the 2000s, the 70s, so technically you would be in the 2000s. The people in the 2024 would probably would have 20 years later wow, very cool, wouldn't have known. All right, a little challenge for you do you mean that wasn't the challenge?
Speaker 2:no, that wasn't the challenge for those of you, there are shows that were left off, like dawson's.
Speaker 3:There's quite a many shows that were not on this list.
Speaker 2:So which shows do you feel belong on this top ten list? Comment below All right, all right, so we're going to play this or that. I went through your account, so I know a lot of the things that you post on, and so what we're going to do is we're going to ask you which one would you prefer, this or that? You ready All right All right. So DuckTales or Rescue Rangers, oh my.
Speaker 1:God Rescue Rangers.
Speaker 2:I had a feeling you were going to go with that because you have the costume.
Speaker 1:I literally just dressed up as. Monterey Jack for Disney Channel Night, if you had to choose a theme song.
Speaker 2:Which one would you go with?
Speaker 1:DuckTales, ducktales, ducktales had a better theme song?
Speaker 2:Was that a SpongeBob?
Speaker 1:impression. I tried doing that, hey Patrick.
Speaker 2:I can't do it. All right, this one's going to be tough because you're there all the time. So Nickelodeon or Disney.
Speaker 1:I love Disney a lot. There's just a lot more, I think, when it comes to movies, it's always more about Disney. When it comes to shows, it's more about Nickelodeon.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So if that, makes sense Nickelodeon TV as opposed to movies.
Speaker 2:Overall, you'd probably go Disney, though. Yeah, I would go.
Speaker 1:Disney. There's just too much of an ambience there 90s music, or 2000s, that's a tough one. That is a tough one, I know it is.
Speaker 2:The face says enough. He looks like one of those blocks in the Super Mario Kart Damn.
Speaker 1:That's a hard one, that's a hard one um, I'm gonna say damn, um, probably 90s, 90s, 90s, just because it's closer to my childhood do you have a favorite song?
Speaker 2:oh, that's too much. His head is about to explode. Look, there's so many. We had good music and I tap into the 80s, so it's like we had amazing music.
Speaker 1:I got shit music now. There's so many I can't name one All right Power Rangers, Red Ranger or Green Ranger?
Speaker 2:None.
Speaker 1:Black Ranger, black Ranger, black Ranger. I would have thought you went Pink Ranger, because I know you're a huge fan of her. I love Pinky. That's my first childhood crush, man.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I met her for the first time a couple years ago and I met her again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw she was on. You posted on that thing. I was like oh man. Which is funny because we were talking about the top 10 in style. For people who don't know. Boy Meets World. Tales from the Crypt or Goosebumps.
Speaker 1:Tales from the Crypt you know what Tales from the Crypt I was always scared of as a kid. It was very adult-oriented so I didn't really get it. But the intro was fire.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But the Goosebumps music was awesome as well.
Speaker 4:Dang Goosebumps, yeah Goosebumps for sure, goosebumps All right, I love Goosebumps.
Speaker 2:This is funny because I just saw you post about this, which I didn't even know. The company existed, but LimeWire or Napster.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness, limewire, I got banned from Napster.
Speaker 2:Did you.
Speaker 1:What I got banned from Napster because I downloaded Metallica songs back then.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1:Oh and they fought back on that and they fought back on that and they found every user that had downloaded that and they just completely banned them off the thing. So it was always. And then at that point it was like where do I go now? Oh, el Limoncito.
Speaker 2:El Limoncito, bro, they just sent you a kit. Though they did send me a kit, I didn't know they were. What do they do now?
Speaker 1:I think they're. They're like an NFT type of store.
Speaker 2:Now, man, they send you a whole ass kit though. Yeah, yeah, I got a shirt, a hoodie and all that stuff I felt validated for once in my life. I mean LimeWire. Trust me, you would download a song, but it's not what you downloaded.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'll get to hear three minutes of pleasure, and then at the cost of putting a big old virus on your computer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, yeah, you turn around downloading your computer was shot for three weeks. All right, uh, this was tough because this, this was a big one for me too.
Speaker 1:Uh, wwe or wcw oh, it's wwf for sure. Oh, okay, back then.
Speaker 2:No, you're right, back then.
Speaker 3:WWF. I know what he's saying.
Speaker 1:Because the WWF. They had to change their name because of the World Wildlife Fund.
Speaker 3:And they did not want to be considered.
Speaker 1:You know to get confused with that.
Speaker 2:So they had to legally change it. I feel like WWF would have been no WWF. I think so they had, to like, legally change it.
Speaker 1:I feel like WWF would have been, no WWE.
Speaker 2:I think if they stood away, I think they would have been the one that would be recognized.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I think they would have looked at like real dicks and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because it's like.
Speaker 2:That makes sense.
Speaker 1:And the WWF icon is like a little baby panda. As much as I like.
Speaker 2:WWE. I have to say WCW actually took the cake when those competitions were coming for me. Oh wow, yeah, I was a huge WCW fan. This is going way back though. The Noid versus the Little Caesars puppet. The Noid- that's Domino's.
Speaker 1:Oh, he kind of looks like a rabbit guy. Yeah Dang.
Speaker 2:I took it way back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I haven't thought of that guy. He's like I haven't thought of that guy he used to be. He's like I haven't thought of that guy.
Speaker 2:He's the mascot for Domino's Pizza. Way back in the day he was annoying as shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's annoying as shit, Anyways. And then, who's the Little Caesars? Dude the Little Caesars dude, I'll probably say the Noid, the Noid, just because you don't ever see him anymore.
Speaker 2:It's more original. Yeah, I mean he's gone. He's almost like the For a minute.
Speaker 1:I was thinking of Cool Spot. Do you remember the little spot for 7-Up?
Speaker 2:Oh, I remember that yeah.
Speaker 1:He used to wear the little glasses.
Speaker 2:Yeah, nintendo or Genesis. That's the last one.
Speaker 1:It'd be Genesis Genesis.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:And you're like a huge Game Boy fan.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's just what made it for you. What made Genesis more Just?
Speaker 1:because that was my first system. That was your first system as a kid.
Speaker 2:Then I had ColecoVision. What's that? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I mean ColecoVision. I think it's ColecoVision, it's a huge.
Speaker 2:It had a huge controller, a little knob and then you were like it's that, yeah, colecovision. Which in then turn got transferred over to Nintendo, started taking over all that.
Speaker 1:My brother had something called Intellivision. Yeah, I don't know what that is yeah, which is similar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it had like a little knob. I had. Coleco. Everybody else had Atari 2600.
Speaker 1:It had like a nine digit. It looked like a phone pad, I don't know. It was weird.
Speaker 2:It might be the same. I mean, mine was huge. The controller was like this big. It had like big old buttons that you used to press, and then you had a knob at the end Like it was crazy. So all right.
Speaker 1:This or that, this or that. Very cool, you could go with this or you could go with that. Yeah right, you could go with this.
Speaker 2:You could If people wanted to follow you. Where would?
Speaker 1:they go. You can follow me at the Nostalgic Latino. You can find me on Insta. You can find me on TikTok. I'm not on Twitter or anything like that.

Speaker 1:No, hell, no, there's one thing and we go by fluffy standards here.
Speaker 2:There you go Politics, religion or sports.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's an inspiration for a lot of my comedy. So, yes, it's like what he says, it's just sports politics and yeah, I try to stay away from religion as well.
Speaker 2:We try to too. The only time I ever get into it is if I'm not into it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just it's like I'm not qualified to be talking about all of these things. So there's people that'll be in the DM's and be like your silence is deafening about this and this that's happening in the world and I'm like dude. I have nothing to say. I'm not the person that my voice does not have any platform.
Speaker 2:I agree with you the way you see it is. If you're going into that conversation, you better know what you're talking about you don't have to do the rebuttal, the follow-up and everything else that goes with it.

Speaker 4:They were hitting me. They called me chicharrones as well.
Speaker 2:They made for great content.
