Show transcript
00:09

00:40
She was stay with grandma was like,
00:41

00:44
I mean that's a good point.
00:46
So we do the show real quick so you can head out
00:48
to Baja Beach Fest.
00:49
So first up Hurricane Debbie knows how to party.
00:53
We got con candy burritos hitting NFL stadiums and drug stores are
00:57
losing to Amazon. Well,
01:00
Taco Bell lets us into the test kitchen.
01:02
So Jealous candy cocktail spices up our home cocktails.
01:08
They're good. Oh yeah,
01:09
I'm looking forward to that and Alien Romulus Star Isabel La Merced
01:15
stops by and I'm so stoked because I'm a huge fan.
01:19
It's scary, but I want to talk about it.
01:20
So let's get into it.
01:21
Let's get into it guys.
01:26
Hurricane Debbie brought more than just powerful winds and storm surges before
01:30
making landfall in Florida.
01:32
What, what else do you think happened?
01:34
What do I think it must have brought something else in?
01:37
You're exactly 100% correct.
01:39
So, us border patrol officials said that Debbie blew in 25
01:43
packages of cocaine. It blew.
01:48
I'm just kidding. No wonder she was hyped.
01:52
I'm just kidding. I'm joking.
01:54
So hurricane Debbie blew in 25 packages of cocaine onto a beach
01:59
in the Florida Keys.
02:01
Keys. I was like they brought that on purpose this series
02:07
So the storm washed ashore $1 million of cocaine in its
02:11
wake. Yo, I feel like this would only happen in
02:15
Florida. It's like the Florida man with the bath salts like
02:19
yeah, and the,
02:20
the, the shark,
02:22
the cocaine shark story.
02:23
You remember the movie?
02:25
Like, I don't know if you remember but like a story
02:27
dropped a while ago actually about sharks in Rio de Janeiro that
02:32
had traces of cocaine in their muscles and livers.
02:36
Damn. So they were like high on their own supply.
02:38
Like, I mean,
02:39
look, this cocaine goes to the ocean like somehow some way
02:44
somebody's going to bite into it and then turn up.
02:47
Well, Debbie seems to be supplying that white girl,
02:51
brother. Wait, what's white girl like is that something?
02:55
So cocaine? It's a code word for cocaine.
02:58
I've heard of Booger,
02:59
sugar, sugar. Booger.
03:01
Booger. Sugar. No,
03:01
no, that was the first time I hear about this damn
03:05
dude. I guess you gotta stay safe,
03:06
man. Stay safe guys.
03:07
Watch out Florida Co candy burritos.
03:14
Did you ever think you'd hear those words used together?
03:18
No. What the hell is that?
03:21
Exactly? So, if you go to the Arizona Cardinals stadium
03:24
State Farm Stadium,
03:26
they put out their new menu for the 2024 season of food
03:29
offerings that they're gonna be selling at the stadium during the games
03:31
Right? And,
03:33
calling candied burritos made it onto the menu.
03:36
What the hell like we don't have enough diabetes in this country
03:41
Diabetes. Like that's diabetes.
03:44
Like, do you hate us and want us all to die
03:46
I'm actually curious why they serve this to your fans.
03:50
Like we're not beating the like miracle allegations with this one.
03:54
Like look at it.
03:54
It's just like, like I get,
03:56
I get have some cereal.
03:57
I like enjoy desserts,
04:00
but this is a little much I know,
04:02
dude, it's crazy because like,
04:02
look the burrito has no steak,
04:04
no actual tortillas. It's literally just like straight up candy.
04:08
Like, look, you see fruit loops like some kind of
04:10
like M and M thing sprinkles like my teeth are just like
04:15
talking about this. Like I eat some Sensodyne after this no
04:18
plug. I feel like they literally got all the ingredients
04:23
from like the, the,
04:25
you know, the ice cream place where they make your ice
04:27
cream all like good.
04:28
I think so. Like they have cereal,
04:31
they got all those ingredients.
04:32
They're like, let's make a burrito out of it,
04:34
you know? It,
04:35
it's, yeah, I think fans will spend more time in
04:37
the bathroom. To be honest,
04:38
they like little focus group is probably like a bunch of kids
04:40
Like, what do you guys want to eat when you
04:42
go to the stadium?
04:42
With pops? It's like time candy burritos.
04:46
That's the million dollar idea right there.
04:48
To me it's like,
04:50
you know, pe consumerism peak diabetes.
04:53
Like, I'd never let my kids have that ever.
04:55
Not that they can have gu gu but that's,
05:00
that's too much. And then they're going to be hyper the
05:03
whole day. Like it's a nightmare and I would be like
05:05
you know what?
05:06
It's not bomb. It's like a bunch of shit like a
05:09
heart attack way that happen.
05:11
It's not. And I'm like,
05:13
yeah, you're right.
05:14
I agree. Yeah,
05:16
I don't know. Would you guys try it?
05:22
Drug stores all over America are struggling and it's working in Amazon's
05:26
favor. So, Ceo Andy Josi on Thursday said that anti-theft
05:30
measures in stores are helping to drive more customers to shop online
05:34
and use Amazon's Pharmacy business.
05:36
Walgreens CV. Sr A are some of the big chains that
05:40
have been trying to keep up with the changing economics of their
05:43
industry and the shift in consumer behavior.
05:47
Well, I mean,
05:47
have you seen those videos brother the grabbing and taking off like
05:52
that's why they're doing it,
05:53
you know, but Yeah,
05:55
they're like, oh no,
05:56
we don't want you to get to it.
05:57
But I mean, instead of being able to grab what you
05:59
need quickly, you know,
06:00
you're met with a glass cage of frustration,
06:04
you know, like you have to let down an employee to
06:07
get it. Yeah.
06:09
And we, we potentially talking about like a 30 minute ordeal
06:14
and I don't know if you've experienced this,
06:17
but when you press the button,
06:19
it says what freaking section you're in.
06:21
And it like, it literally like tells the whole store like
06:25
what you need. And I was buying freaking tampons and,
06:29
and it's like, oh you know,
06:31
feminine hygiene like whatever like,
06:33
and it's like, bro,
06:35
like I don't want my business on blast.
06:38
Yeah. Like what if I was buying like freaking monists that
06:42
for yeast infections or something?
06:44
Oh, I never heard of.
06:46
Oh, no, I mean,
06:48
it's just i it announces everything like what you want,
06:51
you know, consider yourself lucky sister because I go and I'm
06:54
like Duke and it doesn't do anything like,
06:56
I don't know the battery is dead or what.
06:58
And I would come up with nickel to like electronics and it's
07:01
like when you do some diapers and they're like,
07:04
oh that's not my department.
07:05
You know, then who can help me?
07:07
You know what? Screw this I'm gonna imagine into my own
07:09
hand and be like,
07:10
hey bing bong. No.
07:16
Ok. No, we made it guys.
07:22
We're to talk about headquarters here in Irvine,
07:24
California. We're gonna try some new and unreleased items.
07:28
So, don't miss it.
07:30
Let's go and see what's up.
07:39
We're about to head into the test kitchen this behind the scenes
07:42
stuff we got VIP access baby.
07:44
Let's go. We're gonna be trying all,
07:56
hey, we're gonna be trying all these items.
07:59
We can't reveal what we're trying.
08:01
But keep watching. Today's gonna be a vulnerable day for us
08:05
We're gonna be showing you guys stuff that we're still learning
08:07
on. We're working on.
08:09
And as I mentioned,
08:09
we're looking for you guys to give us some feedback in front
08:12
of you. Today is a drink to get us to tantalize
08:15
your palate. This one is Mango peach.
08:17
We have tested this in one store and we're gonna test this
08:21
in a few more stores later this summer.
08:23
This is Cantina chicken cravings menu.
08:26
This chicken was developed to take on any flavor that it's given
08:33
Busting, busting.
08:35
I'm not a food cone but look the char the punch and
08:49
the car looks like legit.
08:52
Like look at that dude.
08:54
It is that the flavored taco,
08:56
the heen flavored shell,
09:02
but the mango, I'm gonna feel so healthy eating this.
09:12
You're just a regular crunchy taco.
09:15
But again, like I said,
09:26
it has good flavor too.
09:27
It's not just be spicy,
09:28
it's like I was wondering,
09:31
you mentioned a lot about fusion but like I'm wondering about traditional
09:34
Mexican inspired dishes. Do you ever see like a pozole or
09:37
Tamales coming to Taco Bell?
09:39
Like, I mean,
09:40
what I'll tell you is we're not trying to be traditional Mexican
09:42
restaurant. It's,
09:43
it is what inspires us.
09:45
But we do look at that and what can we,
09:47
how do we make a Taco Bell?
09:49
Like, dude, I got a swag bag.
09:51
I got some Chala I got a little what is
09:54
it called? A body bag.
09:56
Fanny pack. So I'm ready.
09:58
I'm hot baby. Well,
10:00
that's my time here at Taco Bell headquarters.
10:02
Don't forget guys live mas and stay two for you a come
10:05
out because they be busting.
10:06
Busting. Yeah. OK.
10:10
Where's my hot sauce?
10:15
We'd like to welcome back.
10:17
Candy Cock. Oh man.
10:23
Well, you know,
10:23
we're trying to level up our at home drinking game,
10:26
our home cocktails because I feel like it's getting kind of pricey
10:28
to go out and drink,
10:29
right? It is the standard.
10:31
It used to be.
10:31
Well, Vegas prices.
10:33
They were like what,
10:33
like 1617 right back in the day.
10:37
And I even thought that was expensive but now it's like $40.25
10:41
to 3040 crazy. You guys show up to the spot already
10:45
fucked up because you know,
10:46
you can't, you know,
10:47
that's my trick. I don't eat anything before I have an
10:50
empty stomach drink and then I eat after that way,
10:53
it soaks up all the alcohol and you don't get a hangover
10:56
And then, so when do you recover?
10:58
Well, I don't know,
10:58
brother. But anyway,
10:59
let's move on. So,
11:01
can you tell us what we're going to have today
11:03
if you want to make a bougie expensive cocktail at home?
11:07
I think you can never go wrong with ranch water.
11:10
So that's like very typical of just having mine a tequila
11:16
and then we're going to spice it up with some strawberries and
11:19
give it some natural juices and it's gonna be really good.
11:23
Wait, why is it called Ranch Water?
11:25
Like is it like a Rancho?
11:27
Because it's from the Rancho brother?
11:28
It's using a,
11:30
so you really get it together.
11:32
She's a sister. No.
11:35
All right, cool.
11:36
I mean, let's see what's up because I'm thirsty.
11:38
So what we're going to do first is we are going to
11:40
grab some strawberries and we're going to pour that straight into
11:45
our cup. You don't have to get crazy.
11:46
Ok? You have to remember you're making this at home and
11:48
you're going to get a muddler.
11:50
Pretty much what this is is you're going to smash up all
11:53
of your fruit. So just like you're beating your ex,
11:56
you just kind of want to smash it up.
12:00
Did you see what I think she said?
12:01
OK, so where do you buy this?
12:03
Is that any? So like how much is this?
12:05
Yeah, you can get it like Amazon.
12:10
I love fruity drinks.
12:11
I'm going to squeeze in some lime to give it some little
12:14
citrus a little sour in there with the lemon and we're just
12:20
going to add a little bit of agave just to give it
12:23
a little bit of sweetness.
12:25
You quit. You know what I mean?
12:27
After you're done with that,
12:29
you're pretty much just going to add in your ice.
12:35
And do they have to be in this order?
12:36
So you can kind of layer it?
12:37
Yeah, you should squish the fruit first.
12:40
Get all of those citruses out.
12:42
What's that called? Tequila?
12:44
No, I know that Mexican are you?
12:47
This is called the jigger.
12:49
It's your measuring tool.
12:50
So this big side is your two ounce.
12:53
So what we're going to do is it's one of those days
12:55
and then the tequila I noticed that it's I've never seen that
12:59
bottle before. Yes.
13:01
Lalo. So this is actually Don Julio's grandson and he
13:07
continues his legacy after they sold the company and he retired.
13:12
So now he is making his own tequila and it is
13:17
so good if you want to try it,
13:19
take a pre shop before.
13:20
Oh, shoot. I mean,
13:23
come on, we're going to do it in the measuring tools
13:28
No, I'm going to give you.
13:40
Oh That's smooth. Honestly,
13:41
it's pretty smooth. Yeah.
13:42
Right. I just always make that face.
13:44
Why did you put more in mine?
13:46
Oh Man, honestly,
13:48
it's really good. It is.
13:49
Yeah. Oh Yeah,
13:55
it's pretty smooth. It is smooth.
13:58
So the last step is pretty much you're going to grab your
14:01
Agua Minera. You're going to pour that in there.
14:05
Oh, and you are going to grab your spoon and you're
14:07
going to mix everything you want to make sure you incorporate all
14:11
of the ingredients together.
14:13
And I feel like what really makes a bougie cocktail for you
14:17
to make at home is the garnish.
14:19
So I brought some cocktail picks.
14:21
They just like you could slide some fruit in there,
14:24
make it look nice and pretty and then you can reuse them
14:27
Yeah, you can reuse them.
14:28
So I love pretty drinks.
14:30
Like what are some tips for like presenting cocktails beautifully and what
14:35
can I add to them?
14:36
Like flowers, maybe like a mini umbrella?
14:40
Yeah, you answered your own question.
14:43
I feel like you can never go wrong with a good rim
14:47
on your cocktail. You know the Chamoy,
14:50
the Sal Con. Those are classic and I love when you're
14:54
just drinking with your friends and I see it all over tiktok
14:57
It's funny because I do it all the time where the
15:00
Chamoy rim with the,
15:01
it's like you're talking to them in Ch,
15:03
you're licking it. They're telling you a sad story.
15:06
Their dog died. You're like,
15:10
so we could try that.
15:11
Yes. It, it's really good.
15:14
Was it called this Water or ST ST Water?
15:17
Very simple. I love that name.
15:20
I like the Lani Frisa because it's ranch water.
15:24
No, it's the Rancho but a little,
15:27
a little pinky up.
15:31
Oh, it has a little kick.
15:34
I like it. I like it a lot.
15:35
I love La Nina Frea but it doesn't hit you like that
15:42
It's very overall balance but it'll hit you.
15:45
I feel like it's one of those dangerous drinks.
15:48
Why are we drinking at work?
15:49
I can't work like this.
15:50
Thank you so much.
15:51
Candy. I'll be hitting you up.
15:53
And where can people follow you on social media?
15:56
Candy cocktail at candy cocktail.
15:58
Yeah, his real name.
16:00
Yo, yo, I'm like,
16:02
I know he met,
16:03
but I can't remember anyways.
16:05
All right y'all, I'm a little lady.
16:06
You should get like this too with this ranch water.
16:08
And thank you so much Yoli.
16:10
I mean candy cocktail for joining us.
16:11
Thank you, Alien Romulus is the latest in the sci fi
16:20
horror franchise. So we watched the trailer and let me tell
16:24
you it is not for the week and joining us today to
16:28
talk about the film is Isabella Merce.
16:35
Thanks for having me.
16:36
That was fun. Hey,
16:38
welcome. We're off to a good start.
16:40
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah,
16:43
I'm really excited. I'm excited more than anything for people to
16:47
see it and then hopefully to be there to watch the reactions
16:51
because we did a little comic con thing in San Diego.
16:54
That was crazy. I mean,
16:56
the energy was like like at a sports event.
17:00
I don't go to many if you could tell but yeah,
17:02
you know, it was very infectious,
17:05
it was loud, it was like everybody was rooting for the
17:07
same team for sure.
17:08
And everybody just wants this movie to be good.
17:10
That's awesome. And I love it.
17:12
I love it. Well,
17:13
so for those that don't know,
17:14
Alien Ramos is a horror sci fi movie and honestly acting is
17:18
one thing. But did you always like,
17:20
like scary movies growing up and horror movies?
17:22
I'm sort of a gore fanatic.
17:25
You got to be kind of messed up in a way to
17:26
like Gore, which is fine.
17:28
That's why I'm an artist.
17:29
But I really,
17:31
when I was in seventh grade,
17:33
I think it was winter break.
17:34
I watched all of the song movies that were out at the
17:37
time alone. Oh my God,
17:39
what was I doing?
17:43
Christmas time? I was like,
17:44
let me watch people get tortured.
17:46
really messed up.
17:47
So when I got be on the set,
17:50
I think the coolest part was seeing how they do that sort
17:53
of messed up, sort of gore in film.
17:57
It's very impressive. I mean,
17:59
these people, you have three different teams working,
18:01
you got V FX,
18:02
you got practical effects and makeup all working together to really make
18:07
this look believable. I wish I could talk about some of
18:10
the specifics, but maybe after the movie comes out for sure
18:14
Oh my God,
18:15
that'd be awesome. And is it like low key scary,
18:18
like to act in horror movies or like,
18:20
you know, like a sci fi horror.
18:21
I know it's all coordinate.
18:24
but like,
18:24
I can barely handle like haunted houses or Halloween horror nights.
18:29
It's scary. I'm kind of weird.
18:31
Like Holly Horn. I,
18:32
I'm the one that's in the front leading the laughing.
18:35
I'm laughing at the people trying to scare me.
18:39
My response to fear is either laughter.
18:44
Like, once I register that it's not an actual threat,
18:46
I just start laughing.
18:47
It's sort of like a release of the sort of stress chemicals
18:50
that we're building up in my body.
18:52
But I thought it was really fun and even filming the last
18:56
of us right now,
18:57
the, the fear is there,
18:59
right? You know,
19:00
you have to act,
19:00
it has to be there to an extent.
19:02
But at the same time I'm having so much fun,
19:05
I'm having a blast running from these people.
19:07
That's a crazy monster.
19:09
And then speaking about like jump scares.
19:12
do you,
19:12
like, cover your ears when that happened?
19:13
Like when you know that something's gonna because I cover my ears
19:16
Like when I'm like,
19:16
I'm doing the mazes,
19:17
I'm, you know,
19:19
funny enough, I draw the line at like the demonic stuff
19:21
That's where I get really scared and I'll like stage the
19:24
house afterwards, but I'll,
19:26
I'll do this, I'll do the,
19:27
the ears and the eyes and I'll peek through the eyes because
19:32
I like the ear because sometimes also the movie theaters can be
19:34
loud. Oh, they can be really loud.
19:37
And, and it's the,
19:39
the sound mixing of this movie that I think makes
19:41
it also scarier. Like something I really enjoyed that they did
19:44
in the trailer was they added the sort of ribs breaking sound
19:48
from the chest burster.
19:50
I mean, that wasn't there on the day when I filmed
19:52
it, like, obviously,
19:54
but it was so cool to like,
19:57
to see those post production elements.
20:00
Incorporated and then to watch it in the theaters because they,
20:03
they just, basically what happened was I'm with my homies Disney
20:06
I reached out to Disney and I'm like,
20:07
hey, I want to watch the movie and they're like,
20:09
well, of course,
20:10
we'll make it happen.
20:10
They booked out a theater just for me and my friends.
20:13
That's fun. Yeah.
20:14
And like one Disney rep.
20:16
And so we're all like in this big theater.
20:19
They're like, we'll start the movie whenever,
20:21
because I'm like, I gotta go pee when does it start
20:23
Like, just whenever?
20:25
It's so cool. Yeah,
20:27
it was, it was a really,
20:28
really fun experience I've never had before.
20:30
It's an awesome, oh,
20:33
I felt so VIP.
20:35
He was like, no,
20:35
come watch it like,
20:37
you know, pull doby everything.
20:38
It's like, OK.
20:39
Yeah. Mhm The writers too,
21:04
the writer director and cinematographer,
21:07
like they were all Latino.
21:10
I spoke Spanish on set.
21:11
I kind of felt weird though because sometimes like Fere would
21:15
give me notes on set but in Spanish and I didn't want
21:18
anybody to think we were talking shit like I was like,
21:21
people would. So what happened was the actors would look at
21:24
me after he gave me a note and they'd be like,
21:26
and I'd be like,
21:26
this is what he said.
21:27
And because even if he was talking to Galo the GP because
21:31
they were talking Spanish too,
21:32
there was a bunch of Latinos on set,
21:33
but they were talking Spanish about the scene and I felt like
21:36
I was in on a secret.
21:37
Yeah, I was hearing what they wanted to change in the
21:40
scene. And then again,
21:41
the actress would look at me like,
21:42
and I tell them it was kind of fun playing the translator
21:46
That's awesome. Yeah,
21:48
it was a different vibe on set for sure.
21:50
I felt like a sort of camaraderie and,
21:51
and everything we did because even Ferez writer is also Latino.
21:57
So it was, it was a really fun experience Latinos in
21:59
Budapest. It's like really talented people in the movie,
22:02
really, really talented.
22:04
Well, switching gears.
22:05
We're going to play a little game.
22:06
OK. All right.
22:07
So we said it's called No Paz or we're going to get
22:11
some situations, you just say,
22:13
you know what? All good,
22:14
no, Paan or not to look at this.
22:18
So first up one run clubs,
22:25
Amino Amino Muta Cardio.
22:29
No, no, you and I both,
22:32
I'm not running and if I'm walking I,
22:34
I'd rather be on a bike,
22:35
you know, like at least make it cute.
22:37
Make it roller skates.
22:38
Yeah. That's the whole,
22:40
the whole vibe going on.
22:41
But I get it,
22:41
I get people who like those communities because it's like a way
22:44
to mingle and, like,
22:45
it's just, I,
22:46
I wouldn't be able to talk because I'd be so out of
22:48
breath, you know,
22:49
there's no community in that where you can't talk and face hugger
22:54
Oh no, it's like it feels a little bit invasive
23:00
So I think yeah,
23:03
it's creepy. It's creepy.
23:05
You actually get them off like I know in the trailer.
23:07
Obviously what I can't say anything.
23:11
We're trying to like you to get me though.
23:15
I'm really good at spoiling things skydiving.
23:20
No, you were in space in the movies.
23:23
I feel like you sent me up to space.
23:28
That's the Disney money.
23:30
Disney dollars. No,
23:31
I like the things that make my heart rate go up in
23:34
a way like sports.
23:35
I love that. I love that.
23:36
But again, no running.
23:37
How about me? Oh no,
23:41
straight up. I love me.
23:44
I love a smoky drink.
23:44
I don't like the sweet drinks and of course the tajin on
23:47
the rim. A little cha moist when you're talking to somebody
23:51
like I love Mias too.
23:55
That's something that I didn't really get into until I got to
23:57
L A in L A.
23:59
They're crazy here. This is good.
24:01
And how about chess burster?
24:04
Oh, I'm scary.
24:06
What does death right there?
24:08
Am I scared of death?
24:14
That's crazy. Be like that.
24:17
2024 is wild times.
24:20
Well, I think,
24:22
