The Yummicoco Show

Ep 19. #FreeBritney, TikTok and Thot S**t, with Megan Collins of Cultique too

On this show we talk about everything from 'We Are Lady Parts' to Britney Spears taking the stand at her conservator hearing. #FreeBritney. I also chat with Gen Z expert Megan Collins of Ryan Seacrest’s culture think tank Cultique. Megan will school us on TikTok trends, Bennifer - and she even gets deep on Cheugy.  Be sure to check out 'Garlic' (01:57) about a woman's not-so-cool shift appointment at the Park Slope Food Coop. Not based on a true story! Eat it up! 

Ep 18. Bennifer, Chrissy Teigen, and a chat with Latin Grammy Winner Tony Succar too

This week, Latin Grammy winner Tony Succar stops by to talk about his new documentary Más de Mi, his Ted Lasso-level soccer moment when he was a kid, and his absolute fave ice cream flavor (if you're not Peruvian, chances are you've never heard of it). Before that, we’re going to hear from my friend actress Leila Mohmed, and later we’ll play a fill-in-the-blanks/Mad Libs-style game in honor of Bennifer2.0. Be sure to check out 'Tough Love In The Maldives with Chrissy Teigen' at (05:01) It's sink or swim time!

Ep 17. Keeping Up With Lilibet And The Kardashians, with Eva, Carla and David too

This week is about catching up since I took last week off. In this episode, I’m chatting with my friend, jazz pianist and composer Eva Novoa and later with my cousins David and Carla about the Kardashians finale after 20 seasons on E!. But first check out the sketch ‘Haitian Uncle in a Closet’ (01:55) about one woman’s quest to right a wrong but in a very wrong way. Oops!  For more on Eva and to find out show dates and album info, go to EvaNovoa.com

Ep 16. An Olivia Rodrigo SOUR-Level Cheer Mom, with Alex too

This week's episode gets bonkers when cousin Alex joins the show to share a wild story about a f***ed up cheerleader mom. Later, we’ll play a game:  Fill-in-the-blank: Parenting Edition. But first! Check out the sketch ‘A Robot Apology’ (02:51) about a robot’s unusual advice for a newly laid-off employee. As Olivia would say, it’s brutal out here!

Ep 15. Oh My Flamin' Hot Yoga, with Salima Montes

This week, we're not going to talk about Flamin Hot Cheetos... yet! Instead, we are going to chat with cousin Salima about Haiti, hot yoga, 90-Day Fiance and our dream post-panini Eat, Pray, Love scenario. Later, we'll play a silly 90-Day Fiance Buzzfeed quiz, but before that check out 'Vagina Candle' (06:28)! For more about Haiti Luxe and APAAC, CHECK OUT @HaitiLuxe on Instagram. Peace.

Ep 14. Gettin' CHEUGY Wit It, with Alexis Tirado too

This week, I'm going to chat with bestie Alexis Tirado about all things social media and how to act right online - cuz we’ve realized that basic kindness doesn't always exist online - even amongst family. This is part of a new segment we're rolling out called AT's Got The Receipts. (To become part of future AT segments, DM me @yummicoco on IG) Later, Sean and I will play a guessing game called 'Sorry People or People Who are Sorry?' at which point I will also mispronounce 'cheugy.' Sorry!!! But before all that, check out Cat Day Care Training Day (1:53) -  a sketch about an unexpected training session at a cat day care center. (Also sorry!)

Ep 13. India, Cheeto Jesus, and Elon Musk, with Prity too

This week, forever friend Dr. Prity joins me to talk about the ongoing Covid crisis in India, Hair Metal, and the best line from the movie The Fugitive. Later, Sean will join me to play a game of 'Two Truths and an Embellishment.' Before all that, check out Elon Musk's Visit to the Octopus Therapist (01:35) There a ton of ways to help India if you can. The Go Fund Me platform has verified accounts of several personal fundraisers started in cities across the US, Canada, and the UK. Help India Breathe is collecting funds to buy oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, and more. And, Seva Kitchen is accepting donations to cover the costs of feeding an increasing number of folx in need now that daily wage earners are living under lockdown. For more check out this link. Be well. 

Ep 12. (Not Really) An Oscars Recap and Sound Of Metal, with Mijoe too

This week, we’re going to chat about the Oscars 2021 and favorite movies with PR pro and film buff Mijoe. But instead of a standard Oscars recap, we're also going to nerd out over two distinctly different movies -  Before Sunset (2004) and this year's Best Picture nominee Sound of Metal - and we're going to chat about how they connect in a really interesting way. But before all that, check out Cats At The Oscars (01:41) -  a sketch about a new CATegory at the Academy Awards. Get it! GET IT! Aw, baby! 

Ep 11. Behind Mountains Are More Mountains: George Floyd and Ma'Khia Bryant, with Ashlei Shyne and Carla too

This week, cousin Carla and friend (and First Lady of West Hollywood) Ashlei get on Zoom with me to talk about Derek Chauvin, the murder of George Floyd, and how it affected our 4/20. Together, we chat about Queen Sugar, Saved By The Bell reboot, and of course how Method Man/Redman on Verzus helped Carla to cope on verdict day. Later, we'll play a silly Disney Princess/Prince Buzzfeed quiz, but before that check out 'Gotcha, Bich' (03:15) For more about the movie Sia she's working on with Cashmere Jasmine and her comedy series #TMI, CHECK OUT AshleiShyne.com.

Ep 10. From Among Us to Netflix's Bad Trip, with Lesley Hennen too
