One final announcement before we get into our gup beat
the Low, we are partnering with the Los Angeles Public
Library this year for their l A Maide series. We
will be bringing our Latin X tech podcasting one o
one workshops to the community. We're gonna be hosting free
(05:49):
podcasting one on one workshops at a ton like a
whole mess of different l A Public Library branches throughout
the city. Yeah, we're super excited. We're literally going to
be all over l A County. Um, facilitating these workshops
specifically for you if I mean, they're intended for all,
but we're really really excited to be facilitating. Uh, we're
(06:09):
with l A public library, Like we're l A girls
would like I grew up at the library, Like my
mom would take me there after school or somebody would
take me there after school. It was amazing. Yeah, and
I'm now I'm remembering. Uh, when I was in elementary school,
my mom started working at my elementary school, and she
was the librarian when she first started working there. So
(06:30):
every time I would get in trouble for like giving
my little boyfriend hickis or whatever. Like in the eighth grade,
I had this boyfriend named Levi, who I recently started
following again on Instagram anyway, so he was my first
little boyfriend named Levi. And um, whenever we would have
like school carnivals and stuff like you know, we would
be making out behind the church or whatever. But my
mother worked at the frigging school. So like I was
(06:50):
constantly getting in trouble and my mom was like Zoe,
like you can't do this, this is not doable. So anyways,
we love the library for all over things. Yes, I
remember when I was in high school, I used to
make out with a girl. Yes, because I went to
all girls school. It was like my intro to like
little queeries. That was a baby queer. We would make
(07:12):
up behind the libraries. So as you can see, libraries, librarians,
they've just had a really important place in our lives.
And that's why we can't wait for this. L A
made series so exciting and also getting recognized as like
l A bitches. Love it. It's amazing, Love it one
time for the l A bitch anyways, So we're gonna
be sharing those dates with you and those library branches
(07:33):
um in the future. We are We're gonna be you know.
We record here in boil Heights at EsPAS eighteen thirty
nine at Radio Spaso. We love Radio Spasio, love boil Heights,
and we will be hosting one of these podcasting workshops
at the Benjamin Franklin Library. So hopefully that's one way
that we can kind of give back to boil Heights
because h has given so much to us. We appreciate it, agreed,
(07:54):
So let's get into it. Let's get and chalk off
beats the law Lada blah. So in case you haven't
noticed yet. We want to talk about our actual photo
shoot that we have behind it, the flyer, why it
looks the way it does, like basically our theme. So
we want to talk about yeah, the yes, yeah. So um.
(08:20):
We on Friday for the launch of season three, we
posted a flyer and it's we're calling our season three
the theme, the energy, the mood, the vibe is right.
And so initially when we were thinking about our photo shoots,
we like to think about things conceptually, like what's the theme,
what are we going for? Right, So we were just
(08:40):
kind of like messing around on Pinterest and we started
looking at all these beautiful, like vintage like golden era
of Mexican cinema film posters, a lot of Maria Felix,
Dolores del Rio, and we started noticing a trend how
a lot of the posters had these really interesting sort
of like labels for women as being dangerous, as being
(09:02):
so for example, these are some of them, the vintage
film posters that we saw that kind of let us
down this path, right, one of them being love It.
There's one called Secret Vampiro Espars in Fearless. So they're
(09:27):
just we saw this theme like, oh, my God, Like
there's this obsession with like the dangerous woman, the evil woman,
the she devil like leading men astray or you know,
like entrapping them somehow making men be a moral or
something like that. And all these women are gorgeous and
they're like very essential and provocative in their photos or
they're drawing and they're in their devilish like seduction minister,
(09:51):
and you know we're all about that, Like I want
to morally corrupt every man on the planet blame me.
I want all the credit. Let's go sense. So we
really are like you know, because we do counter narrative
and look up pistemologies. For us, look up pistemologies is
all about counter narrative and taking these sorts of tropes
and digging deeper and looking at once beneath it. What
(10:14):
is the what is the nervousness about women being sexual? Right?
How can we flip these narratives on their head and
actually think about it? Well, what is this like from
the woman's perspective? Right? What does it mean to be
orta or a vampida? Even? Right? Like? What am I?
What am I taking from you? What do you believe
(10:35):
that I'm taking from you? Or that you're not getting right.
Why am I so bad for you or to you? Right?
Because that maybe I'm saying no absolutely, or maybe because
I'm taking all of your money because I deserve it
and it should be mine, I'll be That's that's cool.
I could live with that. I can own that. So,
you know, we want to explore the idea of the
(10:56):
dangerous woman, the dangerous fem and they're sort of an
escapism to to kind of embracing that that labeling. So
we're we'res And our tagline for this season from Revenge
never sounded so sweet, right, And I think the energy
behind that is um. So much of what we do
(11:16):
on Look At Radio on the podcast is that it's
a knowledge share, right. It's a way for us to
share resources, and that is one way for you to
stay safe in any part of your life, right, I
fear in an abusive relationship, if you're living in a
toxic home, having these resources can actually save your life. Right.
So knowing how to protect yourself right from defense, Knowing
(11:38):
how to save money right is also a way to
protect yourself. Knowing how to speak up right and actually
speak your mind. These are are things that have not
been afforded or taught to Latinas, especially growing up in
very Catholic hombs. I know, not all Latinas are Catholic,
but a lot of us are. UM. So that is
the mood, and that is a theme behind from revenge right.
(11:59):
Even live in your best life is revenge if it
can be revenge on your haters, revenge on your abuser,
you know, right. So UM. You know, we talk a
lot about survivor issues, especially in seventeen so much as
far as survivor disclosures, the me Too movement, the Time's
Up movement, We've talked a lot about that, UM, but
(12:21):
we've also talked about fem revenge right and fem revenge uh.
In previous cup etles, we've talked about like Rihanna and
Rihanna's music videos where she murders men, right, and she
murders her rapist, right, she murders men that have wronged her.
She's exacting revenge. So fem revenge never sounded so sweet.
It's almost a type of escapism, right, This idea that
(12:41):
we can imagine a world where we can actually fight back,
where we can defend ourselves, we can exact revenge on
the powers of the patriarchy rape culture much. He's more like,
if we look at these golden era of Mexican cinema
posters and we look at La, what was so perverse
about her? Right? Or was she us speaking back against
some bullshit? You know? So anyways, so that's the theme.
(13:06):
That's what we're gonna be talking about. We're gonna talk
more about this theme about Labiabla after our song break,
but before we get into our song break, we're gonna
bring back a fund segment that we've really only done
one time, done a handful of times, have we yes, Okay,
we have, I'm misremembering. Do you want to introduce the segment? Yeah,
So this is a kind of like sporadic segment that
(13:29):
we have and it's called Weird Things White Women Did
this Week. So we got one, luckily right before we
started recording, literally right before so as you know, we
recorded ball Hides at nine And we have noticed in
the past few months year maybe um, that on Saturdays
there are barrio tours, a lot a lot of barrio
(13:50):
tours literally though their tours of white people that will
walk around boil hides and get a tour of God
knows what they're saying. But that's what's happening. And they're
taking photos and they're maybe buying stuff. They're a la monaca,
they're getting they're covered. Yeah yeah, yeah that was last
sweet bread. So today today I was walking to my
(14:14):
car and then there was a group of white people,
like super white, like really white, and so I noticed
them right away. They stood out, and they stand out,
you know, and we know exactly why they're here the
second I see you know, you see them. So I
see them, and I was like, deal, So I look
at this over here, and I'm walking to my car,
and this white lady is taking pictures of the scenery.
And I'm part of the sceneries. I mean, this white
(14:37):
woman's pictures from her barrio touring boils. When they walked
by me, I gave them the fuse. I'm part of
the flora and the fauna. Now, so this has been
weird things white women did this week? Oh no, I
had one more. Always ahead, I always jump ahead. I'm
just so excited about everything. Tell them what happened recently. Okay,
(14:57):
So recently, I was speaking to a white woman and
and she was telling me about how hard her day
was she's like, oh, you know, like it's a really
stressful day today. And she literally said to me, she
was like, my help is out. My help is like
can't work today, so I have to do all these
things by myself, essentially picking up her kids from school
and like feeding them. The help was her quote, help
(15:20):
was busy. She's like, my help is out today because
she's getting a colonoscopy and like she said it to
me like that, and I'm like, bitch and she goes
and her daughters can't even come and help me. So
but the things that she had to do that we're
so exhausting. We're picking up her kids from school and
feeding them, and I'm like, witch, are you kidding me?
I was more upset that she literally referred to this
woman as help. She's like, my help, my help. So anyways,
(15:42):
this now, this has been a conclusion. This has been
weird things white women did this week. Thank you for listening,
Thank you for listening. So real quick look on what

going back to our gardener, back to our back to
(16:51):
our regularly scheduled program regularly So we're gonna go into
our song break now and gather ourselves. And we're gonna
gather ourselves so or castera belly Rosa Rara and and
and and and and and and and and and and
(17:12):
and and and and and and and and and and
and Delly Rack and and and thelly ro and and
and Elly ra and and and and um from from
(17:34):
from from from from from from from of it and
little ship and we are back. We love a South
American queen. Yes, so that was Paloma Mommy new artists
(17:55):
for me? Yes, same here. And I love love love
like women Latinas that are doing like music urbana or
like pop in Spanish, because so much is dominated in
any language is dominated by men. So I love when
it's like new and young and like they're like breaking
into the scene. It's always really exciting for me to
(18:18):
see that, especially because I have a lot of the music.
I listened to it in Spanish right, absolutely, absolutely the
you know how I've been listening to a lot recently. Well.
The only CD that I carry in my car is
um of course, just because when you I want to
be angry and and sing about you and us. For
me it's baa. But I need some new fresh voices
(18:41):
in my repertoire. One time, Mom, I was home and
I don't know if we were going to record what
I texted Mala and I was like, my mom is playing,
which tells you what kind of mood. Yeah, and what
did my father DOA has been seeing about men being
trashed for many years, many many years. So um, coming
back into our theme, la bia blah, right, this is basically,
(19:03):
like we said, this conversation is an offshoot of like
look epistemologies, right, So we wanted to bring up um
sort of a song an example of that we can
unpack and find the counter narrative here. Well, I've noticed,
like I had, like I already said that I listened
to a lot of like nine point three, like Mega Latino,
(19:24):
like musica contemporary music that's in Spanish, and there's a
lot of like I guess like Neil or like pop.
There's just I don't even know, Like I'm not very
like genre specific, Like I don't really know what to
call it. But I've noticed that a lot of these
songs that are playing on the radio have this trope
of ladiya b la. And we're talking about these women,
(19:46):
but what's so like diabolic about them is that they
are very sexual, right, and that they're very confident, and
they're very comfortable, and they dress a certain way and
they like to have sex, right, and like maybe they're
hooking up with these men for the enjoyment and pleasure
of having sex, right, not necessarily that they are in
love or want to be in a relationship, right and
(20:07):
all of a sudden, that's like diabolical, right right, right, right,
right right right. That has been my general observation. And
then Mama pointed out, like we'll remember back in the day,
like Donald mar has that song and also has like
a DV like case with his former partner. Yeah, actually
like l A p. D came out he was living
(20:29):
in Silver Lake and Donald Marr was living in silver Yes, yes,
this was like a few years ago when this with
this case, but he has an open DV case. So
it's like these women la and their songs right and
are like and not not to say that like artists
are like very misogynistic. All men are misogynistic across genres,
(20:49):
across the board, you know what I mean. I don't
want to I don't want to talk about it in
that way where it sounds like, oh, yeah, is like
very misogynistic and harmful. No, all of it is archy
is it's it's across, it's across genres. I mean, I
think there's a lot of I can't give you any
song titles, right, now off the top of my head,
but I feel like there's a lot of country music
(21:09):
talking about these like evil wayward women. Oh my god,
there's so much mariachi music where he's sucking boo hoo
hoo about being wronged by some women. And I'm always
the question, always like what did what did you do?
Like what did you actually do? What did you do? No? No, no,
And it's really amazing listening. It's the same thing when
(21:30):
you hear men talk about, oh, my ex is crazy,
my ex is evil, my exes. I don't believe it.
I don't believe that ship. I don't believe that ships
every single stay right anyway. So, Okay, somebody that we
want to talk about that we haven't formally talked about
on the podcast, but we should, like we need to
(21:50):
talk about this person is Takashi six nine. If we're
gonna go around canceling people, I want to cancel this,
like actually, Satan, like, actually you want to talk about
the tas she six nine? I like, I just have
such a visceral reaction even to just the way he looks.
And then I've seen like his little antics in the
videos and things that he posts, and he's just he
(22:10):
grosses me out, like to my core, I don't understand
how the way that people are very enamored by him,
and I don't get it. He looks like like a
fur ball that like a clown coughed up and I'm
not with the ships. Right. So Takashi sixth Sin has
this song, right, has this song with Annuala, who is
(22:31):
a believe Puerto Rican is like, um, and it's just
it's amazing to me that these men willingly collab with
a known pedophile. You know, Annual is not the only
one that has collabed with him. But specifically, this song
that we're talking about is called Vive and we're not
playing the song for you. If you want to go
stream it on your own, go ahead. Um. But in
(22:53):
the song, he talks about ta she specifically says like Africa,
and then he also refers to this woman as like
I'm like, oh my god, okay, and then he says him,
I'm like, um, okay is actually Satan, right, and like
(23:15):
then he has the audacity to like all these this
one woman, whoever it is, right, this figurative woman, the audacity,
Lord Lord understand it. I do not understand it. And
It's really interesting too, because there's this cycle that happens
where you have abusive, toxic men who are recording artists
(23:39):
and again across genres, across the board, who are out here,
um demonstrably abusing women, being aggressive and violent towards women,
ruining women's lives. But then we support those artists, We
stream them, we pay their bills, we pay their lawyers
fees so that they can you know, go and attack
their victims, um, and that they can launch you know,
(24:00):
campaigns and things against their victims. So every stream you're
contributing to that, right, and then you're also contributing to
their ability to record more music. And then you have
other abusive men listening to their lyrics, feeling affirmed, singing along,
singing out loud, retweeting their lyrics. Takashi six nine is
really saying something here about how women can be okay,
(24:22):
But who is the fucking author, right and why? And
it's just it's just crazy to me. The cycle. This
is propaganda, This is patriarchal propaganda exact, and it must
be destroyed in in in a fire like ending, get
rid of it, yes, yeah right away. Yeah, when I
(24:44):
that's what really enables a lot of this, like the
mindset of these men, right, it really is enabling to them.
Like especially I think, like I know for myself, right
when I'm going through a breakup or I'm going through
something difficult where I'm set upset, Like I will play
a song and I wouldn't will affirm me, and I'm
like fuck that ship, Like yeah, be careful with me,
Like singing Cardi B. You know what I mean, all
(25:05):
the card all the Cardi B. Right, But it's not
violent against women, you know what I mean? Until Like
the violence against women that we see in the media
is also an indicator of the violence we see against
women on the daily. I'm interpersonal. It's very sinister too,
because if we think about abusive men making music that
is on the radio, that is on the internet, that
(25:27):
is streamed, if we think of it as propaganda, we
can really think about how sinister it is. Because music
is is a beautiful, wonderful thing that is created and
designed to be catchy and to be to get stuck
in your head. It is this song Vivid is incredibly catchy,
incredibly catchy. I heard it on the radio and I
was like, okay, and then I didn't even realize who
(25:48):
it was. And then I saw like on my card
said that. I was like, no way, that's so wild
to me because the exact not the exact same thing.
But I was listening to a song on the radio
and I was like, oh, this is a fucking bop
and I was like singing along and dancing to it.
And then my cousin was like, oh, yeah, this is
Takashi six nine, and I was like what, Yeah, Oh
(26:09):
my god. I felt tricked. I felt like bamboozl it
really a sinister like you said, because it's so catchy,
so catchy, and it's exactly like you said, a bop,
and then it almost makes you forget. It makes you forget,
and then it's like heavily auto tuned. I don't necessarily
know what this guy's voice even sounds like, right, That's
why I didn't. I don't even know with him. I
thought that Takashi was a rapper. Isn't he a rapper?
(26:30):
I guess I don't know, But in the song I
singing like he's actually singing in the song, which is
why I didn't even know it was him, which is
why I felt bamboogle like you said, right right, I
don't like it now, this is propaganda, right well. And
then this this Unweed guy, he got into some trouble
recently because he like said something on Instagram or has
(26:50):
a verse or something where he's kind of like makes
this really horrible comment about Hurricane Maria and like Puerto Rico,
Like he makes this like fucked up analogy, and then
he also says something like really homophobic. So I'm like, okay,
so both of these men need to be canceled, and
it makes sense why they also made a song together.
I'm not like, oh, canceled everybody, but I'm just like,
there are some people where it's like you can see
(27:11):
that they're homophobic and their pedophiles, and they're probably racist,
and you're probably most likely misogynistic. I don't need to
listen to that. I don't literally don't need I don't
need to support that type of artists, you know, especially
like you know, the Surviving R. Kelly documentary came out
within the past week or two, and that's not necessarily
like our community to know to comment upon. But but
(27:35):
we can't say you need to support survivors. Supporting survivors
needs not streaming these men are known abusers. If you're
streaming there, if you you are streaming their music, you
are literally putting money in their pockets and that money
will be used right to continue their abusive behavior. Right.
Just know that there's a direct correlation between listens and
(27:56):
their behavior, right, um and black survivors, Matt right, defend
black women, defend black girls, Black girls, black women, black
survivors matter. And I think that that's important to say,
you know, as a show of support of solidarity. And
we know our listeners are predominantly non black latinas right
and so um when we have conversations about women of
(28:17):
color and about you know, sisterhood, solidarity, fighting the patriarchy,
always so important to to make sure that we are
showing our support and our solidarity to black women, black fans,
right and creating that space within the conversation as well.
I wanted to take up space like let me talk
about it, but here let me pass the mic to
a black woman that's a survivor of black feom to survive.
(28:37):
So you know, Dream Hampton um Um, I think produced
the documentary series and some really heavy hitters on black
women who are very um like power users on Twitter
basically like, um, Mickey Candall I think was also involved
in the documentary and was in the documentary for years.
I've been following Mickey Candle for years. And then um
(28:58):
who else. Jamila mu also very very active on Twitter,
also contributed to the documentary. So go check out their work.
Um uh, they've been working on you know, this documentary
and on exploring what kind of damage R Kelly has
done for many years. Like these women have been in it,
(29:19):
like in the trenches on the ground, so they're the
ones to go and to look at their words and
their work around it, right, so we can see I
think there is a direct correlation. We can see what
not denouncing R Kelly has done. Right. So it's like
we literally have this opportunity with Tokashi six nine where
he's a young artist, right, he's literally only a few
years into his career, Like denouncing him now right because
(29:42):
he's a bit of files, actually has direct implications and
consequences as opposed to protecting this user the way R
Kelly was when you know, yeah, it's just unnecessary. We
can this is called prevention. This is called prevention. We
can put a fucking pin and it prevent it and
prevent more damage from being done. And that's the way
to do it. That's the only way to do it,
(30:02):
because the other way around, Like we can't let women
be UM fodder anymore. We will not be fodder anymore.
Funk that, Like our lives are too valuable. The careers
of these men are not worth it. These men are
not that great. The world will be okay without their music,
I promise you anyway. Anyways, um so I mean is
(30:26):

Library this year for their l A Maide series. We

one workshops to the community. We're gonna be hosting free
(05:49):
podcasting one on one workshops at a ton like a
whole mess of different l A Public Library branches throughout
the city. Yeah, we're super excited. We're literally going to
be all over l A County. Um, facilitating these workshops
specifically for you if I mean, they're intended for all,
but we're really really excited to be facilitating. Uh, we're
(06:09):
with l A public library, Like we're l A girls
would like I grew up at the library, Like my
mom would take me there after school or somebody would
take me there after school. It was amazing. Yeah, and
I'm now I'm remembering. Uh, when I was in elementary school,
my mom started working at my elementary school, and she
was the librarian when she first started working there. So
(06:30):
every time I would get in trouble for like giving
my little boyfriend hickis or whatever. Like in the eighth grade,
I had this boyfriend named Levi, who I recently started
following again on Instagram anyway, so he was my first
little boyfriend named Levi. And um, whenever we would have
like school carnivals and stuff like you know, we would
be making out behind the church or whatever. But my
mother worked at the frigging school. So like I was
(06:50):
constantly getting in trouble and my mom was like Zoe,
like you can't do this, this is not doable. So anyways,
we love the library for all over things. Yes, I
remember when I was in high school, I used to
make out with a girl. Yes, because I went to
all girls school. It was like my intro to like
little queeries. That was a baby queer. We would make
(07:12):
up behind the libraries. So as you can see, libraries, librarians,
they've just had a really important place in our lives.
And that's why we can't wait for this. L A
made series so exciting and also getting recognized as like
l A bitches. Love it. It's amazing, Love it one
time for the l A bitch anyways, So we're gonna
be sharing those dates with you and those library branches
(07:33):
um in the future. We are We're gonna be you know.
We record here in boil Heights at EsPAS eighteen thirty
nine at Radio Spaso. We love Radio Spasio, love boil Heights,
and we will be hosting one of these podcasting workshops
at the Benjamin Franklin Library. So hopefully that's one way
that we can kind of give back to boil Heights
because h has given so much to us. We appreciate it, agreed,
(07:54):
So let's get into it. Let's get and chalk off
beats the law Lada blah. So in case you haven't
noticed yet. We want to talk about our actual photo
shoot that we have behind it, the flyer, why it
looks the way it does, like basically our theme. So
we want to talk about yeah, the yes, yeah. So um.
(08:20):
We on Friday for the launch of season three, we
posted a flyer and it's we're calling our season three
the theme, the energy, the mood, the vibe is right.
And so initially when we were thinking about our photo shoots,
we like to think about things conceptually, like what's the theme,
what are we going for? Right, So we were just
(08:40):
kind of like messing around on Pinterest and we started
looking at all these beautiful, like vintage like golden era
of Mexican cinema film posters, a lot of Maria Felix,
Dolores del Rio, and we started noticing a trend how
a lot of the posters had these really interesting sort
of like labels for women as being dangerous, as being
(09:02):
so for example, these are some of them, the vintage
film posters that we saw that kind of let us
down this path, right, one of them being love It.
There's one called Secret Vampiro Espars in Fearless. So they're
(09:27):
just we saw this theme like, oh, my God, Like
there's this obsession with like the dangerous woman, the evil woman,
the she devil like leading men astray or you know,
like entrapping them somehow making men be a moral or
something like that. And all these women are gorgeous and
they're like very essential and provocative in their photos or
they're drawing and they're in their devilish like seduction minister,
(09:51):
and you know we're all about that, Like I want
to morally corrupt every man on the planet blame me.
I want all the credit. Let's go sense. So we
really are like you know, because we do counter narrative
and look up pistemologies. For us, look up pistemologies is
all about counter narrative and taking these sorts of tropes
and digging deeper and looking at once beneath it. What
(10:14):
is the what is the nervousness about women being sexual? Right?
How can we flip these narratives on their head and
actually think about it? Well, what is this like from
the woman's perspective? Right? What does it mean to be
orta or a vampida? Even? Right? Like? What am I?
What am I taking from you? What do you believe
(10:35):
that I'm taking from you? Or that you're not getting right.
Why am I so bad for you or to you? Right?
Because that maybe I'm saying no absolutely, or maybe because
I'm taking all of your money because I deserve it
and it should be mine, I'll be That's that's cool.
I could live with that. I can own that. So,
you know, we want to explore the idea of the
(10:56):
dangerous woman, the dangerous fem and they're sort of an
escapism to to kind of embracing that that labeling. So
we're we'res And our tagline for this season from Revenge
never sounded so sweet, right, And I think the energy
behind that is um. So much of what we do
(11:16):
on Look At Radio on the podcast is that it's
a knowledge share, right. It's a way for us to
share resources, and that is one way for you to
stay safe in any part of your life, right, I
fear in an abusive relationship, if you're living in a
toxic home, having these resources can actually save your life. Right.
So knowing how to protect yourself right from defense, Knowing
(11:38):
how to save money right is also a way to
protect yourself. Knowing how to speak up right and actually
speak your mind. These are are things that have not
been afforded or taught to Latinas, especially growing up in
very Catholic hombs. I know, not all Latinas are Catholic,
but a lot of us are. UM. So that is
the mood, and that is a theme behind from revenge right.
(11:59):
Even live in your best life is revenge if it
can be revenge on your haters, revenge on your abuser,
you know, right. So UM. You know, we talk a
lot about survivor issues, especially in seventeen so much as
far as survivor disclosures, the me Too movement, the Time's
Up movement, We've talked a lot about that, UM, but
(12:21):
we've also talked about fem revenge right and fem revenge uh.
In previous cup etles, we've talked about like Rihanna and
Rihanna's music videos where she murders men, right, and she
murders her rapist, right, she murders men that have wronged her.
She's exacting revenge. So fem revenge never sounded so sweet.
It's almost a type of escapism, right, This idea that
(12:41):
we can imagine a world where we can actually fight back,
where we can defend ourselves, we can exact revenge on
the powers of the patriarchy rape culture much. He's more like,
if we look at these golden era of Mexican cinema
posters and we look at La, what was so perverse
about her? Right? Or was she us speaking back against
some bullshit? You know? So anyways, so that's the theme.
(13:06):
That's what we're gonna be talking about. We're gonna talk
more about this theme about Labiabla after our song break,
but before we get into our song break, we're gonna
bring back a fund segment that we've really only done
one time, done a handful of times, have we yes, Okay,
we have, I'm misremembering. Do you want to introduce the segment? Yeah,
So this is a kind of like sporadic segment that
(13:29):
we have and it's called Weird Things White Women Did
this Week. So we got one, luckily right before we
started recording, literally right before so as you know, we
recorded ball Hides at nine And we have noticed in
the past few months year maybe um, that on Saturdays
there are barrio tours, a lot a lot of barrio
(13:50):
tours literally though their tours of white people that will
walk around boil hides and get a tour of God
knows what they're saying. But that's what's happening. And they're
taking photos and they're maybe buying stuff. They're a la monaca,
they're getting they're covered. Yeah yeah, yeah that was last
sweet bread. So today today I was walking to my
(14:14):
car and then there was a group of white people,
like super white, like really white, and so I noticed
them right away. They stood out, and they stand out,
you know, and we know exactly why they're here the
second I see you know, you see them. So I
see them, and I was like, deal, So I look
at this over here, and I'm walking to my car,
and this white lady is taking pictures of the scenery.
And I'm part of the sceneries. I mean, this white
(14:37):
woman's pictures from her barrio touring boils. When they walked
by me, I gave them the fuse. I'm part of
the flora and the fauna. Now, so this has been
weird things white women did this week? Oh no, I
had one more. Always ahead, I always jump ahead. I'm
just so excited about everything. Tell them what happened recently. Okay,
(14:57):
So recently, I was speaking to a white woman and
and she was telling me about how hard her day
was she's like, oh, you know, like it's a really
stressful day today. And she literally said to me, she
was like, my help is out. My help is like
can't work today, so I have to do all these
things by myself, essentially picking up her kids from school
and like feeding them. The help was her quote, help
(15:20):
was busy. She's like, my help is out today because
she's getting a colonoscopy and like she said it to
me like that, and I'm like, bitch and she goes
and her daughters can't even come and help me. So
but the things that she had to do that we're
so exhausting. We're picking up her kids from school and
feeding them, and I'm like, witch, are you kidding me?
I was more upset that she literally referred to this
woman as help. She's like, my help, my help. So anyways,
(15:42):
this now, this has been a conclusion. This has been
weird things white women did this week. Thank you for listening,
Thank you for listening. So real quick look on what
is We're taking a moment to shout out one of
our new sponsors, Therapy for Latin x Molla. Can you

going back to our gardener, back to our back to
(16:51):
our regularly scheduled program regularly So we're gonna go into
our song break now and gather ourselves. And we're gonna
gather ourselves so or castera belly Rosa Rara and and
and and and and and and and and and and
(17:12):
and and and and and and and and and and
and Delly Rack and and and thelly ro and and
and Elly ra and and and and um from from
(17:34):
from from from from from from from of it and
little ship and we are back. We love a South
American queen. Yes, so that was Paloma Mommy new artists
(17:55):
for me? Yes, same here. And I love love love
like women Latinas that are doing like music urbana or
like pop in Spanish, because so much is dominated in
any language is dominated by men. So I love when
it's like new and young and like they're like breaking
into the scene. It's always really exciting for me to
(18:18):
see that, especially because I have a lot of the music.
I listened to it in Spanish right, absolutely, absolutely the
you know how I've been listening to a lot recently. Well.
The only CD that I carry in my car is
um of course, just because when you I want to
be angry and and sing about you and us. For
me it's baa. But I need some new fresh voices
(18:41):
in my repertoire. One time, Mom, I was home and
I don't know if we were going to record what
I texted Mala and I was like, my mom is playing,
which tells you what kind of mood. Yeah, and what
did my father DOA has been seeing about men being
trashed for many years, many many years. So um, coming
back into our theme, la bia blah, right, this is basically,
(19:03):
like we said, this conversation is an offshoot of like
look epistemologies, right, So we wanted to bring up um
sort of a song an example of that we can
unpack and find the counter narrative here. Well, I've noticed,
like I had, like I already said that I listened
to a lot of like nine point three, like Mega Latino,
(19:24):
like musica contemporary music that's in Spanish, and there's a
lot of like I guess like Neil or like pop.
There's just I don't even know, Like I'm not very
like genre specific, Like I don't really know what to
call it. But I've noticed that a lot of these
songs that are playing on the radio have this trope
of ladiya b la. And we're talking about these women,
(19:46):
but what's so like diabolic about them is that they
are very sexual, right, and that they're very confident, and
they're very comfortable, and they dress a certain way and
they like to have sex, right, and like maybe they're
hooking up with these men for the enjoyment and pleasure
of having sex, right, not necessarily that they are in
love or want to be in a relationship, right and
(20:07):
all of a sudden, that's like diabolical, right right, right, right,
right right right. That has been my general observation. And
then Mama pointed out, like we'll remember back in the day,
like Donald mar has that song and also has like
a DV like case with his former partner. Yeah, actually
like l A p. D came out he was living
(20:29):
in Silver Lake and Donald Marr was living in silver Yes, yes,
this was like a few years ago when this with
this case, but he has an open DV case. So
it's like these women la and their songs right and
are like and not not to say that like artists
are like very misogynistic. All men are misogynistic across genres,
(20:49):
across the board, you know what I mean. I don't
want to I don't want to talk about it in
that way where it sounds like, oh, yeah, is like
very misogynistic and harmful. No, all of it is archy
is it's it's across, it's across genres. I mean, I
think there's a lot of I can't give you any
song titles, right, now off the top of my head,
but I feel like there's a lot of country music
(21:09):
talking about these like evil wayward women. Oh my god,
there's so much mariachi music where he's sucking boo hoo
hoo about being wronged by some women. And I'm always
the question, always like what did what did you do?
Like what did you actually do? What did you do? No? No, no,
And it's really amazing listening. It's the same thing when
(21:30):
you hear men talk about, oh, my ex is crazy,
my ex is evil, my exes. I don't believe it.
I don't believe that ship. I don't believe that ships
every single stay right anyway. So, Okay, somebody that we
want to talk about that we haven't formally talked about
on the podcast, but we should, like we need to
(21:50):
talk about this person is Takashi six nine. If we're
gonna go around canceling people, I want to cancel this,
like actually, Satan, like, actually you want to talk about
the tas she six nine? I like, I just have
such a visceral reaction even to just the way he looks.
And then I've seen like his little antics in the
videos and things that he posts, and he's just he
(22:10):
grosses me out, like to my core, I don't understand
how the way that people are very enamored by him,
and I don't get it. He looks like like a
fur ball that like a clown coughed up and I'm
not with the ships. Right. So Takashi sixth Sin has
this song, right, has this song with Annuala, who is
(22:31):
a believe Puerto Rican is like, um, and it's just
it's amazing to me that these men willingly collab with
a known pedophile. You know, Annual is not the only
one that has collabed with him. But specifically, this song
that we're talking about is called Vive and we're not
playing the song for you. If you want to go
stream it on your own, go ahead. Um. But in
(22:53):
the song, he talks about ta she specifically says like Africa,
and then he also refers to this woman as like
I'm like, oh my god, okay, and then he says him,
I'm like, um, okay is actually Satan, right, and like
(23:15):
then he has the audacity to like all these this
one woman, whoever it is, right, this figurative woman, the audacity,
Lord Lord understand it. I do not understand it. And
It's really interesting too, because there's this cycle that happens
where you have abusive, toxic men who are recording artists
(23:39):
and again across genres, across the board, who are out here,
um demonstrably abusing women, being aggressive and violent towards women,
ruining women's lives. But then we support those artists, We
stream them, we pay their bills, we pay their lawyers
fees so that they can you know, go and attack
their victims, um, and that they can launch you know,
(24:00):
campaigns and things against their victims. So every stream you're
contributing to that, right, and then you're also contributing to
their ability to record more music. And then you have
other abusive men listening to their lyrics, feeling affirmed, singing along,
singing out loud, retweeting their lyrics. Takashi six nine is
really saying something here about how women can be okay,
(24:22):
But who is the fucking author, right and why? And
it's just it's just crazy to me. The cycle. This
is propaganda, This is patriarchal propaganda exact, and it must
be destroyed in in in a fire like ending, get
rid of it, yes, yeah right away. Yeah, when I
(24:44):
that's what really enables a lot of this, like the
mindset of these men, right, it really is enabling to them.
Like especially I think, like I know for myself, right
when I'm going through a breakup or I'm going through
something difficult where I'm set upset, Like I will play
a song and I wouldn't will affirm me, and I'm
like fuck that ship, Like yeah, be careful with me,
Like singing Cardi B. You know what I mean, all
(25:05):
the card all the Cardi B. Right, But it's not
violent against women, you know what I mean? Until Like
the violence against women that we see in the media
is also an indicator of the violence we see against
women on the daily. I'm interpersonal. It's very sinister too,
because if we think about abusive men making music that
is on the radio, that is on the internet, that
(25:27):
is streamed, if we think of it as propaganda, we
can really think about how sinister it is. Because music
is is a beautiful, wonderful thing that is created and
designed to be catchy and to be to get stuck
in your head. It is this song Vivid is incredibly catchy,
incredibly catchy. I heard it on the radio and I
was like, okay, and then I didn't even realize who
(25:48):
it was. And then I saw like on my card
said that. I was like, no way, that's so wild
to me because the exact not the exact same thing.
But I was listening to a song on the radio
and I was like, oh, this is a fucking bop
and I was like singing along and dancing to it.
And then my cousin was like, oh, yeah, this is
Takashi six nine, and I was like what, Yeah, Oh
(26:09):
my god. I felt tricked. I felt like bamboozl it
really a sinister like you said, because it's so catchy,
so catchy, and it's exactly like you said, a bop,
and then it almost makes you forget. It makes you forget,
and then it's like heavily auto tuned. I don't necessarily
know what this guy's voice even sounds like, right, That's
why I didn't. I don't even know with him. I
thought that Takashi was a rapper. Isn't he a rapper?
(26:30):
I guess I don't know, But in the song I
singing like he's actually singing in the song, which is
why I didn't even know it was him, which is
why I felt bamboogle like you said, right right, I
don't like it now, this is propaganda, right well. And
then this this Unweed guy, he got into some trouble
recently because he like said something on Instagram or has
(26:50):
a verse or something where he's kind of like makes
this really horrible comment about Hurricane Maria and like Puerto Rico,
Like he makes this like fucked up analogy, and then
he also says something like really homophobic. So I'm like, okay,
so both of these men need to be canceled, and
it makes sense why they also made a song together.
I'm not like, oh, canceled everybody, but I'm just like,
there are some people where it's like you can see
(27:11):
that they're homophobic and their pedophiles, and they're probably racist,
and you're probably most likely misogynistic. I don't need to
listen to that. I don't literally don't need I don't
need to support that type of artists, you know, especially
like you know, the Surviving R. Kelly documentary came out
within the past week or two, and that's not necessarily
like our community to know to comment upon. But but
(27:35):
we can't say you need to support survivors. Supporting survivors
needs not streaming these men are known abusers. If you're
streaming there, if you you are streaming their music, you
are literally putting money in their pockets and that money
will be used right to continue their abusive behavior. Right.
Just know that there's a direct correlation between listens and
(27:56):
their behavior, right, um and black survivors, Matt right, defend
black women, defend black girls, Black girls, black women, black
survivors matter. And I think that that's important to say,
you know, as a show of support of solidarity. And
we know our listeners are predominantly non black latinas right
and so um when we have conversations about women of
(28:17):
color and about you know, sisterhood, solidarity, fighting the patriarchy,
always so important to to make sure that we are
showing our support and our solidarity to black women, black fans,
right and creating that space within the conversation as well.
I wanted to take up space like let me talk
about it, but here let me pass the mic to
a black woman that's a survivor of black feom to survive.
(28:37):
So you know, Dream Hampton um Um, I think produced
the documentary series and some really heavy hitters on black
women who are very um like power users on Twitter
basically like, um, Mickey Candall I think was also involved
in the documentary and was in the documentary for years.
I've been following Mickey Candle for years. And then um
(28:58):
who else. Jamila mu also very very active on Twitter,
also contributed to the documentary. So go check out their work.
Um uh, they've been working on you know, this documentary
and on exploring what kind of damage R Kelly has
done for many years. Like these women have been in it,
(29:19):
like in the trenches on the ground, so they're the
ones to go and to look at their words and
their work around it, right, so we can see I
think there is a direct correlation. We can see what
not denouncing R Kelly has done. Right. So it's like
we literally have this opportunity with Tokashi six nine where
he's a young artist, right, he's literally only a few
years into his career, Like denouncing him now right because
(29:42):
he's a bit of files, actually has direct implications and
consequences as opposed to protecting this user the way R
Kelly was when you know, yeah, it's just unnecessary. We
can this is called prevention. This is called prevention. We
can put a fucking pin and it prevent it and
prevent more damage from being done. And that's the way
to do it. That's the only way to do it,
(30:02):
because the other way around, Like we can't let women
be UM fodder anymore. We will not be fodder anymore.
Funk that, Like our lives are too valuable. The careers
of these men are not worth it. These men are
not that great. The world will be okay without their music,
I promise you anyway. Anyways, um so I mean is
