- Last night I got really fucked up.
I had a lot of Dominican rum.
I don't even know what it was but I had a lot of it.
I woke up this morning, I'm not even hung over,
I'm still drunk.

- It's my birthday so we're gonna go to my
favorite city in the world, San Diego.
I'm taking the Pero Like crew down there.
Curly, Maya, me, and Norberto.
(speaking foreign language)
They're all great people,
and I feel like this is gonna be an adventure.
(speaking foreign language)
Is on our way to go to San Diego,
we haven't been in years.
We're going for Gadiel's birth,
(chuckle)
we're going for Gadiel's birthday.
- San Diego.
- Also, Maya needs to throw up again.
- I may or may not have drink a little too much
at the Holiday party, the night before.
- We gonna eat.
(speaking foreign language)
- So, the ride to San Diego was fairly interesting.
(speaking foreign language)
- I was sitting in the back seat and
Gadiel's driving is intense.
- Maya has--
- You do? - Yeah.
- You sure? - Yes.
- Better not throw up on me.
- I was ready to blow.
- First of all, Maya got stopped trying to
throw up in my car.
- I told him to stop filming me.
Do not film this.
- [Curly] Stick your finger in your throat.
- [Maya] No.
- Did you see me holding her hair?
I was being a friend.
- Okay, I'm cutting.
We pull into San Diego and we're on a strict schedule.
We got things to do, and we got a little bit of time.
I was like, you know what?
They're hungry.
If we're gonna eat, we gonna eat at the best barbecue spot
in San Diego, Phil's Barbecue.
- We're actually breaking our diet today.
- No, not me.
- Tomatoes?
Not my thing.
- [Maya] Are you happy?
(speaks in foreign language)
- After that I was like you know what?
They gotta see some dope spot.
The first beautiful spot I took them to was Seaport Village.
(speaking foreign language)
- [Maya] I knew it, did you hear that?
- I told you.
- [Maya] I didn't say it.
(laughs)
We said I bet you in the next 10 minutes he's gonna say.
(speaks foreign language)
- Once we got to Seaport Village it was pretty cool.
I'll give him credit for that.
- Then we went on the ferry to Coronado.
- They made my ass get on a boat.
- And Curly hates anything on water.
- I've watched Titanic like a thousand times.
Gadiel, where are we going?
- We're gonna get on the ferry.
We're gonna go to Coronado, baby.
- Alright, so I actually hate the water.
I don't fuck with the water.
I don't do nothing on water.
The only thing I do with water is drink it and shower.
Once we were on there it actually wasn't that bad.
The ride was beautiful and it was great.
And I kinda forgot that I was on the water at one point.
It was just a great moment to be with friends
- Then we went straight to the hotel
and got ready for the night ahead of us.
- So we gotta get ready, we're gonna go to the dopest
Latin spot in California, La Luz.
(dance music)
We get to the club, we walk inside
people say what up, yo happy birthday!
I'm like yo, Happy Birthday to you too!
Yo, wassup hahahaha.
- So, when I got to the club,
I went straight to the VIP section.
No questions asked.
- When we first got there, Maya was not really feeling it.
- I'm not a good dancer,
when it comes to like salsa dancing or anything.
This is crazy.
But I ended up having a really good time.
Gadiel's friend even invited me out to dance
and even though I couldn't dance it was still fun.
- She kinda pushed through.
I pushed through my water fear,
and she pushed through her club fear.
- I was a little anxious because
I don't really like to go clubbing,
but I felt like I needed to get out of my comfort zone
and I did it, and it was fun.
- Gadiel's friend came over and he was like
"Gadiel needs to see you."
And we headed over and we had some bomb ass sancocho.
- I was like, you know what,
one thing they do need is sancocho.
- It tasted just like my mom's Salvadorian sopa de res.
Sancocho is just really another way of saying sopa de res.
- No, it ain't.
- It's fucking delicious.
- I had a great time, oddly enough.
I thought it was pretty cool.
- I had a blast at the club.
It was so dope.
The music was good, the DJ was good, the food was good.
I saw you.
- We get back to the tele,
we gotta relax, we go to sleep drunk.
We went to sleep drunk and woke up drunk, you know?
Cause we got to get ready for the morning,
gotta go to Endy's house cause we gonna eat some mangu.
- Last night I got really fucked up.
I had a lot of Dominican rum,
and now I woke up this morning,
I'm not even hung over, I'm still drunk.
- I didn't even have a hangover,
I was just drunk still.
- But Norb and Gadiel were still drunk.
They went to bed at like six in the morning
and it was like nine, so.
- I thought I woke up before you, Curly, did I?
- Then we went over to Endy's house for some
home made mangu.
(speaks foreign language)
- Endy is in a little tank top and a apron.
- Mangu is a
plantain, smashed plantain,
it's like smashed potatoes but instead of potatoes
we use plantains.
- I think anytime anybody wants to invite you
into their home and feed you traditional food
it's super amazing, it's super exciting.
- So we do our saute onions, we put it on the top.
Fried (mumbles) Dominican salami.
- Endy went on about Dominican salami
and all I could think about was just
how dirty this sounded.
- I'm down for some Dominican salami.
- Only in Dominican Republic. - I know.
- [Man] Only in the DR?
- Only in the DR, you gonna find that type of salami.
- I'm about all about the Dominican salami.
- [Gadiel] It was really nice for Endy and Arlene
to open up their homes to me and my friends.
- [Man] Wow!
(speaking foreign language)
- That was dope, man.
The made the mangu, they also made coffee.
(speaking foreign language)
- Gadiel's been talking about how Endy is like a drinker.
- And he will make you drink too.
I tried not to make eye contact with him
but every time I did he was like, shot, shot?
- I wasn't intimidated.
I was like, you know what?
If he wants to offer me shots, I'll take them.
No problem.
(speaking foreign language)
- He had Norb take nine shots.
- It was only 11 a.m.
- You know, this is breaking the cake right here.
(laughing)
- Thank you guys for everything.
I love all you guys.
- They were delicious.
- [Gadiel] Norb was like going at it.
I mean, but good for her.
Living her best life.
- [Maya] What are you doing?
- I'm breaking my diet, that's what I'm doing.
♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
(clapping)
- Overall, it was great to see my friends coming together.
It's always great to see like
two different groups of friends
just come together as one.
But we still got things to do.
We're on a schedule.
- A motherfucking schedule.
- First off was La Jolla cove
I wanted them to see the sea lions,
up close and personal.
- [Maya] Gadiel was so cute, cause he was like
we gotta go look at sea lions, come on.
(speaking foreign language)
- So, how do you think this trip went?
- This trip was great.
I had a lot of anxiety, like
before we went to the club
because like, I didn't know any of Gadiel's friends
but it was fun, they were so nice to us.
And just so welcoming.
- I had such a good time,
I think one of the things that I really liked
about this trip and just about that I like is that
we are really good friends.
- It was nice to get out and enjoy my time with my friends.
I call them colleagues, but they're my friends.
- For a really long time, Gadiel asked us
over and over again, to come with him to San Diego
and I don't now why I was so skeptical.
Because this trip was really great and we bonded
more, than ever.
- You know what?
This was the dopest birthday I ever had.
Like, I had my friends from L.A.
My friends from San Diego coming together.
It was like, it was life.
Even though we were on a schedule,
we experienced so much in so little time.
So, it was amazing.
Come and get your daily concha from
(speaking foreign language)
herself.
She will make it pink for you.
She will make it white for you.
She will make it brown for you.
Anything here at--
- And yellow.
- [Gadiel] Anything any kind of color concha
you can think of you can get here.
(speaks foreign language)
Thank you.
