00:10
Hi. Hi, how are you?
00:12
Hello. Hello. So I saw your IG and congrats on
00:17
the engagement. It was really,
00:18
really cute since you found love.
00:21
We wanted your advice on picking the right man.
00:25
So we want to play a game with you.
00:27
It's called red flag.
00:28
Green flag. Like are you down?
00:31
I'm down, I mean,
00:32
I'm not an expert or anything but I mean,
00:35
I'll give you my two cents.
00:36
Yes, please. I need it because yeah,
00:38
I mean, it's tough in the streets,
00:41
tough in the streets.
00:42
Remember the guy I was with at the event?
00:45
Well, I mean,
00:45
at the event I was with the guy who was helping me
00:48
That was my boyfriend of 10 years.
00:49
Where is he? Exactly?
00:52
Let's get into. Ok,
00:55
so let's play, you're going to lift up a green flag
00:58
if it's a green flag or a red flag,
01:00
if it's a red flag,
01:01
depending on that, I'm going to keep the red on my
01:03
right hand just because I already know it's coming.
01:08
Ok, so texting you immediately after a first date.
01:14
Oh, that's a green flag.
01:15
Ok. And why,
01:17
because we don't want to play games.
01:18
That's true. I don't like that.
01:20
I love straightforwardness. Right.
01:22
Tell me if it was a good date,
01:24
texting you while you're out with the girls.
01:27
Depends. What is he saying?
01:29
Yeah, that is true.
01:30
It depends. I don't know.
01:31
That could go either way.
01:34
Is he come home,
01:37
whatever, controlling or is he like,
01:39
what are you doing?
01:40
What are you drinking?
01:41
Having fun? That's true.
01:43
Splitting the bill on the first date.
01:46
Oh God. No.
01:47
You know, see here,
01:50
no explanation needed. Yes.
01:52
A gentleman. Ok.
01:54
Watch his sex and the city.
01:56
He's watching sex and the city.
01:58
No, no, absolutely not.
02:02
No, we don't need two girls living here.
02:05
It's not. No way.
02:08
Commenting on your friend's IG post is a picture.
02:14
What is she doing in the picture?
02:16
That's true. Is it a family pose if it's like a
02:20
selfie or a body?
02:22
Like, you know what I mean?
02:23
A trap. Red flag paying for everything.
02:29
Hey, girl. Yes,
02:32
I was going to try to come up with something.
02:34
It's ok. Let's not even you and I both,
02:38
if I had a flag I would lift it doesn't work out
02:42
I don't like that.
02:43
No, you don't respect yourself.
02:47
Doesn't have social media.
02:50
No, because like who are you?
02:53
Are you the president?
02:56
You're hiding something for sure.
02:58
Doesn't like spicy food that you like?
03:03
Spicy food? That's a girl thing.
03:07
Let me be the one that's like,
03:08
I, I do.
03:10
Hondurans eat spicy food.
03:12
Is it like a thing?
03:13
I mean, yeah,
03:14
we eat stuff with jalapenos.
03:16
Ok. Well, I guess we're good with the game.
03:19
We're good with the game.
03:24
So you start off with,
03:25
like, fitness content and now transitioned into music.
03:28
So how does like your Honduran background,
03:31
like, influence your content or music?
03:33
I mean, I think sometimes we get asked questions like that
03:37
but I just feel like when you come from someone and you've
03:40
grown up a certain way,
03:42
it's just part of who you are.
03:44
I mean, even from like the little videos I do with
03:46
my family like they're so hungering like when I'm with them like
03:51
me and everything. So yeah.
03:54
And then with music right now,
03:55
like I always try,
03:56
even when I'm writing,
03:57
I try to incorporate certain words or lingo that only Hondurans know
04:02
because I admire that from other artists that they do like,
04:05
you know, Colombia Puerto Rico,
04:07
you know, there are certain words that is part of their
04:10
country. So I'm trying to make that kind of popular words
04:14
from Honduras. Definitely.
04:16
And I mean, I'm curious about Honduran food.
04:20
So I'm excited because we're going to try some Honduran food.
04:25
Guys. We had to,
04:26
we were supposed to be on a diet.
04:28
What are you doing?
04:31
This is called Pollo frito in a taja repos,
04:36
cabbage, a little cabbage salad with cheese and tomato sauce.
04:41
It's also called like El Seno,
04:43
seno and then Este Juna Vala is like a very typical,
04:47
like you can have it honestly any time of day we usually
04:52
like breakfast. Una tortilla,
04:55
the Arena con Frijoles,
04:56
queso, Huevo. Le Pue Carne Aguacate didn't want to get
05:01
this one right here.
05:02
OK. I like pada with a lot of sour cream.
05:05
This one doesn't look like it has a lot of sour cream
05:07
but it's OK. That sounds like it would be good.
05:14
OK? It's very comfort.
05:17
Delicious. Yeah, this is like a so just cheese,
05:22
sour cream and beans.
05:24
Yo, this is delicious man.
05:26
Oh my God. It's just so I'm going to come back
05:30
to see. I only have this once in a while because
05:33
this is big back activities.
05:35
It's a heart attack on a plate.
05:37
OK? Let's try El Pollo frito.
05:43
You pick up the chicken.
05:45
I like my chicken to not be too fried and you take
05:49
the nata and honestly I got to have a bite of everything
05:52
So all you like to mix.
05:54
So I put the cabbage on top.
05:57
El Pollo. There's about to be a huge pain.
06:00
OK? Add good stuff.
06:05
That is good stuff.
06:06
Honestly, I've been sleeping on Honduran food.
06:08
I've been sleeping on it.
06:10
You guys, this is only like the beginning.
06:15
OK. So yeah,
06:16
the food is delicious.
06:19
I totally forgot about that.
06:20
I'm interviewing. I forgot about the questions but what's next for
06:24
you like in the music scene?
06:26
Where can we stay up to date with you?
06:28
Well, as you know,
06:29
I'm just starting out so I'm very much like still figuring out
06:33
my sound, like figuring out what type of genres,
06:36
what I want to say,
06:37
how I want to say it,
06:38
how I want to present.
06:40
So the best way to stay up to date with me is
06:42
obviously like, follow me on social and what's your social handle
06:45
so people can follow you.
06:46
So it's Gabriela Bandy on pretty much everything except Tik Tok because
06:51
somebody took my user name.
06:53
So it's Gabriella dot Bandy.
06:57
All right. Well,
06:59
I mean, I don't know about you but I kind of
07:01
want to go back into the big back a little bit.
07:04
We can work out later.
07:05
Hopefully my trainers are watching that.
07:10
It's part of the job.
07:11
Bye y'all. Bye.
