The Meaning of Mexican Politeness
There’s one thing Mexicans are famous for: their politeness. For some, it might even be too much and seen as a legacy of colonization — like their use of the word “¿Mande?” (order me). In this episode, Maria reveals how there’s so much more to Mexican politeness than just cultural norms or etiquette. From being generous and hospitable, to using tender words and lots, lots, lots of diminutives, politeness runs deep in the Mexican ethos.

The Meaning of Britney Spears at the VMAs
It’s 2007 and icon Britney Spears is supposed to make her comeback after trying to be out of the spotlight for a while. She’s going to perform the single from her new album — an album that will change music forever. When Britney emerges from the stage, a stunner in a sequined bikini top and micro shorts, Maria sees an artist trying to find her footing again, performing a song that was very unique-sounding for the time. But the media saw something different. Today, Maria is going to call some people out for their lack of vision, for their cruelty, for messing with our girl Britney Jean Spears.

The Meaning of Serving C*nt
For centuries, c*nt has been widely seen as the most degrading, the most vile, the most uncouth word of the English language. But in recent years, that has changed. On TV shows, movies and all over the internet, people are proudly serving c*nt. How did that happen? Maria tells you the very enlightening history of the word c*nt. We travel back to pre-historic times, to the Middle Ages, to the 1960s and ‘70s ‘80s. All in search for the origins of c*nt and the people who defended it —most notably Black trans women and dolls at balls.

The Meaning of Meryl Streep’s Intuition
Why is Meryl Streep called the greatest living actor? Today, Maria walks us through Meryl’s wide range of career phases. From her accent phase, to her controversial rom-com phase and her “mean-mommy” era. Because before becoming a “BILF” (Boss I’d Like to Fuck) in “The Devil Wears Prada,” Meryl had to endure Hollywood’s sexism and ageism. In this episode, Maria reveals how Meryl’s success wasn’t guided mostly by strategy, but by something quieter, something deeper — an instinctual compass.

The Meaning of Aaliyah’s Baddie Vibe
Maria asked: why are there no divas anymore? Her friend Paris Alston said, “society traded divas for baddies.” When Maria thinks of the artist that embodies the baddie spirit in her mind most of all, it’s the princess of R&B Aaliyah.
