Welcome back to the Chisme corner. I'm your host Viv Rivera, your Latina amiga. And go to chismosa for all the chisme that actually matters. Latina motherhood, beauty. Navigating life in your 30s and keeping our mental health in check. We're keeping it raw, relatable, and a little spicy. We'll also be getting into pop culture topics. All the best reality show tea. I love me some tea. So get comfy because the cheese starts now. Hello, Chees. It is. It's hot as hell here today. I just went to get a car wash and y' all know I don't wear a bra no more. So my under boob sweat, bro. Get the out of here. I'm over here walking around with mad sweat stains on my shirt. It's kind of nasty. I don't know why I do this to myself, but that's what I get. That's what I get for not wearing a bra anymore. But listen, I'm the freest I've ever felt ever in my life. So I love it. It's been really hot here. So right after we got off a spring break yesterday, actually we had a 90 degree day. It was our first 90 degree, 90 degree day. And I looked at Joe and I was like, we gotta do a beach day. Like, I want to go to the beach. I need the beach. I'm the type of person, like just being in the ocean, being at the beach makes me feel. It just like cleanses my soul. Like it just makes me feel. I don't know. I feel like in my past life I was like a mermaid or something. I just love the ocean. I'm. I'm an island girl, you know, I'm an island girly. And so we went took baby out, like maybe didn't go to school that day. I was like, do you have any quizzes? You got any tests? You got anything going on? She was like, no, I don't. And if I did, I'll make it up anyway. So I was like, all right, that's my girl. So she didn't miss out on anything. But we had an amazing day at the beach. Like, we had the best freaking day. Like, when I tell you there was. Like, it wasn't packed. It was so nice. Like, I was just like, I love that we decided to do this before all the freaking hustle and bustle of the summer and the crowds and the craziness, because our beaches get really packed out here. Like, people come to Delaware just to, like, go to the beaches and stuff, especially in the summer, because our beaches are beautiful. Like, I actually really love our beaches. And it was funny because I was talking about. I don't. A lot of y' all obviously, apparently did this when y' all were kids, but I didn't. I never did this before because I. I didn't really go to the beach a lot when I was young. I know my dad would take us to, like, seaside heights. Like, a few times. I remember going. But I would say I didn't go as much as a. As a child the way Vivi does. Like, since we're so close to the beaches, we're there all the time in the summer that we're always down by Rehoboth beach. And, like, we have Dewey, we have Lewis. Like, we have really beautiful beaches. Bethany. So she was, like, playing with the sand, and we didn't have the molds for the sand, whatever. And she was doing this thing where she was, like, picking up this. The wet sand and, like, making sand castles. Like, people were saying it's called, like, drizzle, drizzle, drizzly drizzle, sand castles, or, like, drippy castles. I don't know. Everyone had a different word for it. Like, but it was so funny because I was like, oh, she just showed me how to do this. Like, this is so dope. I would have never thought to do this before. And everyone in my DMs was like, Girl, I used to do this all the time when I was little. And I was just like, wow. Like, I wish I had that experience. Like, I wish I was at the beach more often. Like, I wish I had more experiences at the beach when I was young. Because, I don't know, I feel like BB Just always has so many experience. Like, the beach is one of her favorite places, so she loves it. But, yeah, everyone was, like, kind of making Me feel dumb cuz they're like, how have you never done this before, girl? And I was like, I've never even seen. I've never done this like ever in my life. So it was really funny. But I was just like, wow. Like my ass never really was going to the beach like as a child. And that sucks. She was like, I can't wait to go to school tomorrow and tell all my friends that I went to the beach. Like, that's why I wasn't here, because I went to the beach. And I was like. I was like, that is so funny. Like, as a child, I was the same way. I would love that. I loved if I would just be out of school for the day or even if my parents came and brought me lunch. If your parents brought you lunch to school, like if you had McDonald's or Burger King or whatever it is that they brought you. Oh my God. Everybody wanted to be your friend at the lunchroom. Like, everyone's around you. Like you hit, you hit popular status at that point if you was getting lunch to school. I remember my one friend, I had a friend and her mother was a police officer. And she, her mom, her mom would always bring her lunch. And she was my best friend. Like, she was like one of my best friends. I would go to her house every weekend, her mom would take us to hula hands. Like, I had some of my best childhood experiences honestly were with her. Like her and her mom. Because her mom was like the cool mom. Like, everybody loved Cookie. Everybody loved her. Shout out to Cookie, actually, and Amanda, because, like, I grew up with her and her mom was like a second mom to me. And everybody loved Cookie. Like all the kids, everybody always wanted to like hang out with Cookie. Like she was, she just always knew how to like, have a good time with the kids. We were put on fashion shows. Like, we would do karaoke. Like, I think honestly, like, she's a lot of the reason why I'm the mom I am today. Now that I look back at it, like I'm a cookie. Like, I was like, hold. Like I'm thinking about it now and I'm like, wow. Like, I really, like, grew up to be her. Because that's how I am when I have a group of kids here. Like when my nieces and nephews are here. Like when, if Viv's friends are here, like if any of the kids have anybody over here. Like, we are doing karaoke, we're doing talent shows. Like, that's the number one thing the kids love to do. Like, they always want to put on talent shows, and we do that all the time. So when they bring friends, it's so much fun. Then, you know, we take them out to eat and all this stuff. So I'm just like, wow, I grew up to really be a cookie. But anyway, going. I'm going off track. But she would always bring them. She would always bring my friend lunch because she would, like, go pick up lunch, whatever, and then she'd bring her lunch. Sometimes she would bring. She would give me some whatever. But I'll be like, girl, like, cookie, bring me some lunch, girl. Like, please. Yeah, I'm trying to think of any update. Oh, my God. Okay, so I wanted to talk to you guys about some of the stuff that I've been catching up on as far as, like, what I've been watching. So. Okay. I remember I. I just recently watched the show on Hulu. It was about a boat, like, in love. Like, love on a boat or something. Was it on Hulu or Peacock? Okay, so it's called Love Overboard. So it's a new reality dating show on hulu. It premiered March 26th. But I just. My hairstylist, Taylor, she was actually telling me, like, you gotta watch this, because all we talk about, we always talking about reality tv. Like, me and her have, like, the same taste in, like, shows, books, like, everything. It's so funny. So we were talking about that, and so I started watching it, and girl, it is messy. It is so good, though. Like, y' all have to watch it. So watch Love Overboard. So basically, it's so messy because, like, if you're in a couple, you get to stay above death deck, but if you're not in a couple, you basically have to be below deck and, like, work as, like, staff. Like, it's so wild. You have to work below deck. So, like, obviously, nobody wants to be below deck, so are doing whatever they can do to go get couple. And, like, you're trying to, like, tear couples apart. Like, you want to be. You want to be an upper deck, you know, like, you want to be. You want to be. That's where it's at. So it's so funny. It's just really interesting. And I was like, I don't know. I. I feel like I watch these shows and I'm just brain rotting, but I just. I can't help it. I really can't help it. Like, reality tv, like, these little reality dating shows and stuff are my favorite. They are my absolute favorite. And then we also have. I just saw the new season of Temptation Island. Girl, if y' all haven't watched Temptation Island, Temptation island is amazing. So they put couples on an island who are already. And I think this is such a bad idea, because let's say you're in a relationship, right? You're in a relationship. Is mad rocky. Like, y', all, oh, I'm trying to break up with this man. Like, I can't stand him already. Like, y' all hate each other. Like, y' all know y' all about to break up, and then you go on Temptation island and make it worse. Like, that's basically what it is. Like, these couples are already going through cheating, trust issues, just a bunch of stuff. And they put themselves on a TV show, on a reality dating show. And basically, it's like they're. They have to be tempted, like, the guys. So they. When they get there, they basically split up. Like, they're single. The girls go to one house, the men stay in another. Like, they have their own villas, and then they put a ton of. They put a bunch of men in the girls villa, and then they put a bunch of women in the boys villa, and basically those are the 10. That's the temptation. Like, you have the girls over there basically, like, I wouldn't say trying to, like, tear their relationships apart or, like, throw. Throw themselves at them. Like, it's not very. It's not like, love islandy, because a lot of the girls and the men I've known, the men actually, really. The girls, like, they're. They talk to them, they hear them out. Like, they give them advice. And the girls are kind of like that with the guys, too. But if you have a connection and you feel in one of them, like, they hook up and stuff, like, it's. There's no. Like, if you don't have a boundary with your partner, like, you're just gonna do whatever there, you know, so. But a lot of the partners, they have. They come in with boundaries, and then they end up breaking them or, like, crossing the line. So it's just crazy as hell. And then they have this thing towards, like, the end of the. Of the show. They have, like, a temptation haven or, like a. It's like a little tent, and you get to go in there, and basically, they go in there to, like, like, so. And then there's like, a. An alarm thing, like a siren that goes off in the other villa, so they know if you went in there. So if a guy goes in there with the girl, right? The girls, the women, they're gonna hear it. The siren's gonna go off in their villa. So they're gonna be like, damn, like, which one of our men is in there? It's just wild. Last season, this guy had a threesome with these girls, and Netflix is. They're gross. Honestly, like, you heard ask asses clapping. Like, you heard moaning. They were one hair short of just filming a porno. So I'm like, bro, we're basically like, you might as well just show them, bro. Like, we watching a porno. And I think. I'm not. I don't even know if they had cameras in the bathroom, because I think we did get a little glimpse. I don't know. I have to. I have to go back and, like, re. Watch. My jaw was dropped. And she. That the girl stay with him. I'm not. I'm. I'm going too far. I'm not going to say too much, but, yeah, that season. Last season was really, really good. One of the girls was kind of, like, caught in, like, a love triangle, I feel if I remember. Yeah, I remember. And, yeah, so this season just came out. I just binge watched, like, the whole season and, well, I just want to talk about it with y', all, so I'm going to let y' all watch it and stuff, and then maybe we can talk about it in another episode or something. It might be too late, actually, but I just really want you guys to watch that. That's what I've been watching. So I finished that. And then there's another show that me and Joe watched. I. I love this show. I feel like it got really mixed reviews. Oh, sorry. I'm over here croaking. I'm eating these little. These drizz. Delicious. The French toast bites. I can't believe that these are only 90 calories per 21 pieces. I eat this whole bag. Don't with me. It is so good. If y' all haven't tried it. They have mad different flavors, too, like cookies and cream birthday cake. But the French toast one is my favorite. I'm sorry, I don't want to be eating on the podcast. I know y' all hate that, but that. That's literally my lunch right now, so bear with me. But, yeah, so me and Joe watched. I made him watch it with me because he honestly, he doesn't like horror. I. I've said this before, but Joe does not with horror, but he's doing better. He's been watching stuff with me. I got. He got no choice. I make him, and he loves me, so he does it anyway. It's like A horror. It's about this bride to be. She just becomes really convinced that something really terrible is going to happen at the wedding. And she just has a bad feeling throughout the whole thing. And then his. His family is so awkward and weird. Like, they're all weird as hell. And the first part of the. Of the series, you're gonna think the. Like, something really, really bad and off about his family. And then it really, like, switches gears and it focuses more on, like, her anxieties of, like, marrying the right person and is he. Is he my soul mate? And this. And then there's, like. It goes deeper into, like, why she has to be sure that this is the man she's gonna marry. And you will see why. But it's just really interesting. It was really crazy. And I feel like it's more like. It's not like her. Like, it's not jumpsuit scary or anything. It's more like psychological dread. Like, it's just. It puts you in a. Like, like, psychologically, you're just like, oh, my God. Like, I felt dread, like, the whole time watching it, but I liked it. Like, I don't know how to explain it. Like, the. The vibe they were giving off the show. Like, I feel like that was the vibe they were going for. And I felt it with her. Like, I was just like, girl. Like, I don't know. It was just. It was weird, but it was, like, good in a way. Like, I just really liked it. I enjoyed it. I was. We had watched. We watched it in, like, two days, and it's actually executive produced by the Duffer brothers, who do, like, Stranger Things. So I don't know. Maybe that's why I like. I just love. I love how they produce shows, like, shows and stuff. I really do. I just. I. I am a fan. Yeah. It really explores the ideas of, like, soul mates and, like, fear of getting married and, like, family traditions and stuff. Like, it was. It's really good. So I suggest if you like horror and, like, that psychological crazy, this is a really, really good watch. Although I am still left with a lot of questions after it. I think maybe that's what they wanted. Like, that maybe that's what they intended as far as the series. Who knows if they're gonna. I mean, the way it ends, I can see it definitely, like, getting a second part or getting like, another. Another, like, six episodes or something. Like, I can see them doing more with it, and I actually hope they do. But, yeah, I was just, like, I had a lot of questions at the end. I Just saw that they're coming out with a new season of Perfect Match, and that is one of the shows that I love as well. And you know who's on there? And I was like, what? Jimmy. Jimmy from Love is Blind? That was the guy that she was like, you are gonna need your EpiPen when you see what you missed out on. God, I love Jess, but, yeah, I was like, look at Jimmy. He. He. I feel like he had the ultimate glow up after that show. Like, if you look at him from Love is Blind and now it's like two completely different people. It's crazy. But I was like, you know what, Jimmy? He deserved love. He deserves some love in there. So I'm actually. I'm excited to watch that. I think that comes out. When does that come out? I'm gonna give y' all an exact date, so, yeah, we could watch it together. I'll be all up on these shows. You know how I know that? I watch too many of these shows? When I start knowing all the cast, like, when they start casting other people from, like, different shows and onto one show, and I know all of them, that's when I'm like, oh, my God. Joe's like, you watch way too much of this dating. So it's starting May 13th. All right, wait. Let me tell you who's on it. Oh, my God. And then the girl, Allison Ogden, is on there from Building the band. I don't know if y' all watched Building the Band, but she was a. Like, I couldn't stand her. Me and the kids could not stand her. She's got a beautiful voice. Like, she sounds like Ariana Grande, but she was such. She was giving such mean girl. Like, you could. She was bullying the. Out of the girls in that band. Like, it was. It was bad. So I'm want to see if she'll, like, redeem herself on this show, but I don't know. I don't see it happening. Brianna Ballroom from Too Hot to Handle. Chris. Chris Darlin from Age of Attraction. Damn. He. He took up his spot fast because didn't Age of Attraction, like, just come out? Well, I guess they film a long time before, but I feel like these people, a lot of them go on the shows just because they know they'll be able to get on a lot of the. The other dating shows because of it. Like, I don't think a lot of them go on for love. Like, obviously. Like, I think they just go on for screen time, and then they want to just keep. They want to keep going on different shows and like getting fan bases from those different shows, you know what I mean? And I feel like it's a lot easier for them because all of these shows are so connected and they're all based on one thing, which is just like dating around, making out, like finding love, quote unquote. But it's all like the same. Danny Spongberg from Temptation Island. I don't. Oh my God. I remember Danny. I think he was one of the guys that the girl was in the love triangle with, if I'm not mistaken. Dave Hand from Married at First Sight Australia. I've never watched Married at First Sight and I hear it's a really good show. Damari Davis from 2 out to handle. Hashim Moore, Temptation Island. Jimmy from Love is Blind. Oh, Cassie Castillo. Cassie. I like Cassie. She's from Love Island. She's going to be on there. Let me see. Marissa George. Love is Blind. Who is Marissa? Let me look her up. Cuz I watch a lot of Love is Blind but I don't remember all these people. There's so many. Marissa. Oh my God. She's the one that was with that guy that he was. He was like hung up on her getting birth control. Do y' all remember? I remember that. She was stunning. Wow. I can't believe she's gonna be on that show. I just didn't think that was like much of her vibe, like to go on a show like that. So I'm pretty surprised, but good for her. And that was the one that had like the crazy mother too. Like, she wasn't crazy, but she was just. She was very like, blunt like she did. Yeah, she did not hold her tongue. Yaman said, I don't know any of these other people, but yeah, I'm excited. And then the new season, season eight of Love Ireland premieres June 2, which is like, God damn, that's gonna take up so much of my time. Because that's like every day there's a new episode. I think every day except for Wednesdays. I think it's like, okay, yep, I'm right. New episodes stream daily, so six days a week except for Wednesdays. And then Love, they do the Love Island after sun episodes on Saturdays. So I just love that because like, what other show does that where it's like there's a new episode coming out every day? Like every day. I just have something to look forward to cuz that show gets so intense. Like it's insane. So I'm so excited to start that this summer. Maybe I'll have like A. A Love island watch party. Like, we could go on live or something. I think that would be really cool. And then Ariana Maddox, she's gonna be the host. She'd be. She'd be killing it. I love Ari. I love her so much. I get excited to see what looks she's gonna have because she be killing it. She'll be killing it all the time with the glam and the outfits. And then the Love island beyond the Villa season just came out, and I have not watched it yet. I think there's only two episodes out right now. They dropped, like, two episodes, I think, yesterday or the day before yesterday. So I'm actually gonna watch that tonight because I want to see. I just want to see what's popping there. I feel like when they did the beyond the Villa with the other. With the last. The season before this. So, like, season seven, I believe, with their cast, which was, like, Leah, Serena, Janae, all of those, like, they were my faves, but I feel like I wasn't that invested in watching the show. I feel like they focus so much on Liv and Kayla because they had, like, a friendship issue and stuff, and I feel like that became, like, the focal point show, and I just. I honestly didn't give a. Like, they were, like, my least favorite characters, so I was like, I want to see more of, like, Janae. I want to see more of Miguel and Leah. Like, Kenny, because I hate Kenny. Like, we hate Kenny. Never want to see him ever again on that show. But I wanted to see Serena. I wanted to see, like, I just wanted to see all my girlies. And I feel like we didn't really get a lot of that. So this season, I want to see. I want to see what happened with Amaya and what's his name. And it's crazy because dude won the show, and I don't even remember his name. I just remember Amaya. I want to see what happened with them. And then apparently I just saw Hannah, like, grilling the. Out of Pepe about the whole, like, TJ and Iris situation. So I really want to see that. And I don't know, I feel like people are always saying that Iris kept TJ as, like, a second choice, but I never saw it like that. Like, I always felt like he was always first. Like, I always felt. Felt like he was the. The one that she was meant to be with and that that's who she really, really, really actually wanted to be with. I feel like after when they left the Villa, almost like, not. She wasn't. Not that she was forced to stay with Pepe, but I think she was just like, okay, like, if we ended the villa together, then we might as well see how it goes outside of the villa, you know? Like, I think that probably made a lot more sense to them. But then she probably realized, like, out in the real world, like, wow, maybe I'm really not over tj. Or maybe I actually do want to be with him. Like, that's what I think they were. End the game no matter what. Like, that's how I. I personally always felt about Iris and tj. I never looked at him as, like, second choice. Like, I don't know, but people are like, I saw her. She was, like, crying on the show. She was. Her cute little pout face. She was, like, crying, saying how people are always saying, like, oh, TJ's your second choice. And she was like, I'm glad that he gave me a second chance. You know, now you can tell she really loves him. So I don't know. I want to see what happened there. And, yeah, I don't know what else. I don't know who else is, like, on the show, but I think Jeremiah is on it. So, yeah, I'm just gonna see what the drama is about there. I'm gonna see if I binge that tonight. Like, it's only two episodes, so I'll watch that tonight and see. But that's like, my reality show update right now. I haven't been. I haven't. I'm trying to think if I watched anything else. Oh, and I did want to talk about Garo G headlining at Coachella. Mind you, the first Latina to headline at Coachella. Isn't that wild? Like, think about how long Coachella's been going on, and this is the first Latina headliner. Like, give me a break. But I'm just. I'm so happy for her. And I just feel like the first episode I ever did of this podcast was based on Karoji. So, like, seeing her perform my Coachella and, like, doing all of these things, she was just on call her daddy. Like, I don't know. It just gives me such motivation, and she's such an inspiration, and I'm just so. I'm so, so happy that it's her. Like, I love her. So she closed out the festival Sunday night, and it was amazing. Oh, it was so good. She even had Becky G come out, and there was, like, an all female mariachi band, which I thought was super dope. I also thought it was interesting. I saw something the other day she did an interview on Playboy for her Playboy cover story, and she talked about her desire to, like, use her platform and her voice, speak out against ICE and stuff. But I guess people on her team told her not to, or I guess they didn't tell her not to, but they were. They warned her not to do so. Like, she said people would say it's better you don't say anything. And she said, why? She'll be like, why? And they'll be like, oh, because maybe the next day you'll get a call like, hey, we're taking your visa away. And, like, you become bait. So I think she was, like, almost steered away in fear to talk about it. And I saw a really interesting comment on this post. As a Latina therapist. She's a Latina therapist, and she said, I don't see this as indecision. I see a very real internal conflict. There's a part of her that feels the responsibility to speak and another part that's thinking about safety impact and what it could cost. I see that as awareness, especially when you come from communities where speaking up has consequences. A lot of us learn to stay quiet, to stay safe. So even considering using your voice like this can feel unsafe, that's a deeper question around responsibility, identity, and safety all at once. So basically, she's saying she wants to use her platform to speak out about ICE and immigration policies and everything, but she kind of has to be strategic about it, and she's being very intentional about how and when she does it. So basically, her mindset, I guess, is like, I don't want to say something, just to say it and, like, be viral. Like, I want to. I wanted to hold impact. Like, she wants it to actually mean something. But I don't know. Compared to artists like Bad Bunny and even Becky G who speak out and are like, ice out. Like, they talk about it. Like, we know Karoji is aligned with the same message. Like, we obviously. We know even during this performance, you could tell it was dedicated to Latinos struggling right now. You know, I do feel like it was very strategic to have Becky G there. I kind of feel like that was her message, too, because we know how strongly Becky G stands on. But I don't know. Do you guys agree? I want to know if you guys agree with that. Like, or can you even just kind of feel for her? Like, I just. I don't know. I feel like she's kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. But honestly, it's like, I think of it as the people who support you and love you at the end of the day are your. Is your Latino community. That's your main community. Like, as far as your music, everything, like, is these people who are being affected. It's. It's us, it's Latinos all around the world. But I can see. I guess I can see both. Like, I can see her fear of, like, wanting to speak out, but then I can also see the other side of it. Like, just speak out, do it. You know, like your fans want it. Like, they ex. They kind of expect that from you. So let me know what you guys think about that. I feel like Coachella would have been like the perfect. The perfect time to just be like, ice out. Like, I don't know. That's just me. Like, I feel like that was the perfect moment. Let's see. Let's see when she does officially speak out and what the meaning is going to be, how intentional it is, we'll have to see. And this is why I love me some Bad Bunny because, you know, but it's also easier for him because he's from Puerto Rico. He doesn't have to worry about a visa and things like that, you know, so it's a lot different. Girl, I just got this big ass flag. So you know how they used to have like those. The American flags and it would have like Nicki Minaj on it, whatever. Like, people would have like different artists on the American flag. I see a lot of people have them up in their rooms and stuff, like when they do Tick Tock videos. And so there was one on Tick Tock and it has Bad Bunny on it. So of course I got it. So I'm gonna hang that bad boy up right here because he is my president, okay? Bad Bunny is. He is my president. So I'm gonna have my little flag back here with my Bad Bunny on it. And I'm so excited. It's gonna be so cute. It's gonna be such a vibe. So by next episode, I will have it up so you guys can see it on the YouTube video. But tick Tock, so, oh, my God, they sell everything. I calendar, like a Bad Bunny calendar of him. If you just go on Tick Tock shop and probably just look up Bad Bunny calendar, like Bad Bunny flag. You'll see them. Like, you will see them there. But I got a cute little calendar and every month is a different picture. Girl, my husband want to kill me. He wants to kill me. Oh, my God. The other day. So I have. I have a VIP group on Instagram if You go on my profile, you'll see it says, like, these VIPs, and it's like a little chat. Like a little chat room. And I get to, like, talk to all my baddies on there, so you guys can join it. It's. It's great. I do giveaways on there. Like, I do, like, I give away coffee and stuff like that. Like, I had the baddies chat before, and I don't know why I deleted it. I had, like, 7, 000 of y' all on there. And then I created this new one, but hoping to grow it so you can join on that. But I was asking, like, what kind of content people want to see from me, because I'm starting to do, like, my spring summer content and stuff, you know? So I'm like, what do y' all want to see? And someone said, you need to teach us how to curse in Spanish. And I was like, bet. Say no more. So I figured I would do it on the podcast. I'm gonna do, like, a video to post some my reels, but maybe I'll just do it here. Maybe I'll just clip this and just post it on my Instagram. That probably makes more sense. But, yeah, I was like, you know, I know, I know a lot of young gringas follow me. And y' all listen to the podcast, too, and it's okay. It's okay. I love y'.

I love me. I love my gringas. We all fam here. You know what I'm saying? But y' all need to get down with. To get down. Like, y' all need to learn some Spanish, and you're going to learn the curse words. I'mma teach you. I'm going to teach you right now. So take some notes. And mind you, I'm Puerto Rican, so I'm going to let you know right off the bat, Puerto Rican slang and, like, curse words. One word can mean have, like, 10 million meanings. Like, someone can use it in a million different ways. I'm gonna say the word and, like, how I use it, basically. But there's so many different slang words and, like, curse words. And I like to say Puerto Rican Spanish because I feel like we got a different kind of Spanish from everybody else. I'm gonna say what I know and how I curse in Spanish, and this is gonna be from me to y'. All. What should I start with? Okay, I think I'll start with the basic pendeja. You call somebody a pendeja. You're basically for me, that's you're A dumbass. Like, you're a dumbass. You're a pendeja. Or, like, if someone does something, I'd be like. Like, me and my sister call each other pendejas all the time. Like, I call. I say pendeja all the time. Like, I. Even my grandma calls us all pendejas. She'd be like. We say it also playfully. So. Yeah, I feel like there's a lot of Spanish words that I use that I kind of say playfully, too. But that is, like, if you. You a dumb, like. Like, oh, my God, like, you just. You're just a dumb. This is one of my favorites, cabron or cabrona. So cabron is the guy. Cabrona is the girl. So you'd be like, I get cabrona. What a. To me, that's like, you, like. I think it's like, bastard or some. You're like, you a. Like, tell your husband's. He'll look at you like, what. What did you just call me? Love that one. Oh, this is. This is one of my faves, mama. Like, you're a sucker. This is like, you ain't you talking about somebody's character? Like. Like, that's. That hits. Especially if you say. If you say that to a man. Another one I like to use is conyo. Cono is like, damn. Like. Like, let's say you stub your toe on. On something, you're gonna be like, gono. Like, damn, that hurt. Like, you know. Or this one is my favorite. This one, when I'm mad and, like, I'm upset or like, some just happened. So mecago, mecago and la madre, which is crazy because mecago means I and la madre means on the mother. So, like, I on the mother. So, like, how does that make sense? I don't know, but me la madre, like, yo, me la madre, yo. Like, I can't that. Like, I do. Like, I can't even deal. Like, I'm so mad, I'm. All I see is rage. If you want to send somebody to hell, you want to tell that go to hell, which I've. I've sent so many to hell, you don't even know. Bete means go to hell. Like, get the away from me. That's a good one. That's a really good one. I feel like I'm missing one. Oh, is like a. Like. Like, I don't know. I feel like Buddha has, like, a horror meaning, like, you a hoe or whatever. But if you say booty, like, oh, like, I feel like that could be cute. Like, I don't know. I love the word booty. Like, it's not so vulgar. Like, it's just like more cutesy. Like, like you're just looking real bad. That's. That's like how I use the word. Oh, I'm gonna end it with this one. Because we talked, we hit on puta. That means you are the son of the biggest you can do hijo. Or it's disrespectful. Disrespectful. So, yeah, those are the. That's all I can really think about right now. I'm pretty sure there's so much more, but those are like some of the main ones that I use. So. Yeah, now you guys got a little. You got a little Spanish class. Work on your Spanish, work on your insults. Catch up on your reality show tv so we can talk that tea. Let me know if we should like do a Love island premiere. Like a live. Like, if we should go live, that would be really fun. I feel like we should do that, but yeah. Guys, that's a wrap on today's Chisme. But don't let the conversation stop there.
