- 1:03Speaker 2: It is a beautiful event.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Brother, it's very near and dear to my heart because
- 1:06Speaker 3: I lost my dad in twenty twenty, not that he
- 1:08Speaker 3: took his own life, but when he died, all my
- 1:10Speaker 3: brothers we connected the dogs and he was in a deep,
- 1:14Speaker 3: deep depression.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Because you know how it is with men, especially Latino men.
- 1:18Speaker 3: We're supposed to power through our obstacles, adversity, adversities, challenging times.
- 1:24Speaker 3: And you know, men are supposed to tough it up
- 1:27Speaker 3: and men up and don't tell your boys that you
- 1:29Speaker 3: love them.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Because you may make them solved.
- 1:31Speaker 3: And you know all this toxic masculinity we have behind
- 1:36Speaker 3: our brotherhood. And so the distinguished Gentlemen's right. It is
- 1:40Speaker 3: a beautiful parade of motorcycles which were super dapper, and
- 1:44Speaker 3: we paraded throughout Hollywood and Beverly Hills, and people they
- 1:47Speaker 3: take pictures, but we are actually doing it to benefit November,
- 1:52Speaker 3: which is the word leading charity for men's health, and
- 1:56Speaker 3: eighty percent of their resources benefit men's mental health because
- 2:01Speaker 3: you know, four out of five suicides are committed by men,
- 2:06Speaker 3: and and you know, men's mental health is a very
- 2:09Speaker 3: important thing that we should definitely.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Address, no, absolutely You're exactly right, and good for you
- 2:15Speaker 1: for taking part in that.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 2:17Speaker 1: And yeah, we'll make sure to put up all the
- 2:20Speaker 1: info on our website so you can get involved if
- 2:22Speaker 1: you'd like to join something else. That's very cool. I
- 2:25Speaker 1: don't want to make sure we talk about you play
- 2:27Speaker 1: the legendary the Santa Fernandez in the series of Ray
- 2:30Speaker 1: which people can see on Netflix. Man, that must have
- 2:33Speaker 1: been I mean, an honor of course, but sort of
- 2:36Speaker 1: daunting too at the same time. Right, and and uh
- 2:39Speaker 1: was it everything you thought the ex periends would be.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Yes, as it was.
- 2:43Speaker 3: I love I love that creative behind it because they
- 2:45Speaker 3: were like, we are not imitating DISCENTI. There are very great,
- 2:50Speaker 3: amazing uh comedy musse and comedianes, comedians you know out
- 2:56Speaker 3: out there that think they can do you know, the
- 2:59Speaker 3: classic you know the Glass. We say, very well, but
- 3:02Speaker 3: here we have to, you know, take the essence of
- 3:05Speaker 3: Vissente and in a way create our own Vicenta Fernandez,
- 3:11Speaker 3: you know, with his mannerisms and the way he talked
- 3:14Speaker 3: and everything.
- 3:15Speaker 2: But honestly, the show is a it's a.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Drama show and ninety eight percent of the show happens
- 3:22Speaker 3: with Vissente off the stage, So to do him singing
- 3:27Speaker 3: and the stage, you know, that's an easy thing. You
- 3:29Speaker 3: see that a lot, but there are not many home
- 3:32Speaker 3: videos of him, so we had to create our own
- 3:35Speaker 3: Vicente Fernande. So I love the directors and the creative
- 3:39Speaker 3: team behind the show. They were like, we don't want
- 3:40Speaker 3: to imitate him. We don't want to do what comedians
- 3:44Speaker 3: do out there when they're imitating him. We want to,
- 3:47Speaker 3: you know, create our own descent. And I was privileged
- 3:50Speaker 3: enough to sing the songs. You know, an actress singer's
- 3:55Speaker 3: voice is like a fingerprip. But I try my best
- 3:59Speaker 3: to emulate how he phrased the songs and everything. But
- 4:03Speaker 3: it was it was such a beautiful experience. I mean,
- 4:05Speaker 3: he's an icon.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Oh absolutely what this might be a tough question to answer,
- 4:09Speaker 1: but what's your mount Rushmore Top four Vicente Fernande songs ESK.
- 4:16Speaker 2: When I did the show, it was right before the
- 4:20Speaker 2: Sente was successful with Vorve Borvera. It was right before.
- 4:26Speaker 3: So it was those challenging times where he was flooded
- 4:30Speaker 3: with lawsuits because you know, being from a rancho, every
- 4:34Speaker 3: single manager was like, no, I'm going to make you
- 4:36Speaker 3: famous whatever, And you know, not being able to read
- 4:39Speaker 3: and write.
- 4:40Speaker 2: She signed everything. Whatever, let's do it.
- 4:44Speaker 3: And when that hits, all these guys show up at
- 4:48Speaker 3: the label of Sony I believe it was.
- 4:49Speaker 2: It was Sony or something.
- 4:50Speaker 3: They show up like, hey, yeah, he owes me money
- 4:52Speaker 3: from this because he signed like a whatever.
- 4:56Speaker 2: The billion year contract.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Yeah, he owns me A wrote, We're like WHOA. So
- 5:01Speaker 3: it was so I don't know. There were so many songs.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Perando Maria was a beautiful one, you know, the classic
- 5:13Speaker 3: vo Verbo ray, those are the classic ones. But I
- 5:16Speaker 3: got to sing, and I them on top of of
- 5:19Speaker 3: mine right now.
- 5:19Speaker 2: But I had to sing. I was able to sing
- 5:22Speaker 2: like Midegorano.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Look, you know these old songs that might be many
- 5:29Speaker 3: people might not know these songs, but those are those
- 5:31Speaker 3: are the ones that I saw.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Did you get to do like Los Manados or lal
- 5:34Speaker 1: del Monte, laltel Monte.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 5:36Speaker 1: I love that little other.

- 5:41Speaker 3: I have I tell you exactly which ones I did
- 5:46Speaker 3: if I.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Hopefully I can find them. But I don't want to
- 5:50Speaker 2: take much of your time.
- 5:51Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's just curious.
- 5:52Speaker 2: That's so much cool.

- 7:33Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 7:35Speaker 3: I have no idea what's going to happen, but I
- 7:37Speaker 3: assume that Miguel is now a teenager, all right, so

- 7:44Speaker 3: a little bit more, you know, they will play more
- 7:47Speaker 3: with with him.

- 8:07Speaker 3: at Carnegie Hall in New York. That's awesome in a
- 8:10Speaker 3: full Chael suit, which, by the way, I had to
- 8:13Speaker 3: ask the Dissenter production to lend me because the same
- 8:17Speaker 3: guy that did the.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Dissenter suits for him was cunning enough to do the
- 8:21Speaker 2: ward rope for the for the show.
- 8:24Speaker 3: So you know, there are like, I don't know, one
- 8:26Speaker 3: hundred thousand Penzels chapel suits like super expensive. So Vicente

- 8:35Speaker 3: chapel suit that I robbed at Carnegie Hall and I
- 8:37Speaker 3: got to see you remember.
