  • - 100%

  • 100% - Yes!

  • - Hit me with the tough ones.

  • - All right, which of these places would you not go

  • to get fancy quinceañera photos.

  • Viscaya, Bayside, or Biltmore.

  • - I don't know if you can tell, but I didn't have

  • a quinceañera.

  • I would say, since the Biltmore is kinda just like

  • a hotel, you probably wouldn't go there for the photos,

  • but my second choice maybe b Viscaya 'cause that's where

  • the Venetian pool is.

  • You don't really want kids splashing around

  • in the background but judging from your facial expression

  • it's the one that wasn't either of those.

  • - You're an actor aren't you?

  • Goddammit Reggie (Reggie laughs)

  • So you're saying the answer is Bayside?

  • - Final answer, Bayside.

  • - You are right. (bell chimes)

  • - Whoo!

  • Let's go! - I actually did

  • my quinceañera photos at Viscaya and Biltmore.

  • - Wow. - My mom wanted it all.

  • And we're good!

  • (air whooshes)

  • (Jenny speaks in foreign language)

  • - Save the best for last.

  • - Yes, you look gorgeous.

  • - Oh thank you. - I love the black dress.

  • - Thank you so much.

  • - What's your name?

  • (Alma speaks in foreign language)

  • That was French right?

  • - Maybe.

  • - Is that the only other language you speak?

  • (Alma speaks in foreign language)

  • - A little bit of French

  • - I'm not assuming that you're Cuban,

  • what is your background?

  • - Mexican.

  • - Cool I have Mexican friends in Miami.

  • Which local restaurant chain is known for its

  • ribs, wings, and collectible green cups?

  • (Alma speaks in foreign language)

  • - I used to be a hostess at Flanigan's.

  • (Jenny squeaks)

  • I used to host there!

  • I think about it every once in a while too.

  • - They have good food yo.

  • Finish this jingle.

  • - Oh jeez jingles.

  • - Pollo Tropical, do you know it?

  • - Why don't you ask me about the menu?

  • Not the jingle.

  • - Well give me the menu then.

  • Do you have the menu?

  • - No I don't.

  • - I'll go back to another question that I asked previously,

  • there is a chain of drive-thru farm stores.

  • The Hispanics of Miami called it somethin' else based

  • on the logo of the store.

  • - I wouldn't know.

  • (Jenny speaks in foreign language)

  • (cow moos)

  • - My (speaks in foreign language) was obsessed

  • with making me drink milk and now I'm lactose intolerant.

  • (Alma laughs)

  • Thanks (speaks in foreign language) in heaven.

  • - You are asking me the hardest ones.

  • - Okay well this is gonna involve some cursing.

  • People are always eating (bleep) in Miami.

  • What does "eating (bleep)" mean?

  • Use it in a sentence.

  • - You got me there, again.

  • - It actually means, I'm not doing anything.

  • So in a sentence it's like, "Hey what are you doing?"

  • "Nothing bro just eating (bleep)."

  • (speaks in foreign language) thank you.

  • - Thank you.

  • You really tested me.

  • - I'm glad.

  • That was the point.

  • (air whooshes)

  • (speaks in foreign language)

  • I know some of you may not even know what that means

  • but I'm very happy to have met you all

  • and interacted with each and every one of you.

  • I'm not gonna lie when I first met you all

  • I was like each and every one of you could easily

  • be from South Florida.

  • So I was a little torn between Reggie and Alma.

  • Obviously Reggie answered almost all

  • of the questions right, but you seemed like you have

  • spent some time in South Florida, but

  • the winner (drumroll plays)

  • is Reggie.

  • (celebratory music)

  • My Haitian friend.

  • - What was the answer that gave it to you.

  • - Well it was the Dolphin Mall thing.

  • Him working at the malls.

  • But that was why. - In my defense

  • I knew all of that but she asked me the ones that I didn't.

  • - Where are you all from?

  • - So I am actually from Florida and I'm not from Miami

  • I'm from Orlando.

  • - I love Orlando we always spend time there.

  • Did you go to the parks a lot obviously?

  • - I had my prom at Disney.

  • - Of course and then...

  • - 10 toes down.

  • Born and raised.

  • - Cool. - Who says that?

  • 10 toes down.

  • - That's a Miami thing

  • (Jenny laughs)

  • - Jenny I tried my best.

  • - You did.

  • - I'm actually born in New York

  • and my experience with Florida's visiting

  • my grandma in West Palm Beach.

  • - My parents live in West Palm Beach.

  • - Oh yeah I'm just from a small town in California

  • but I go to Orlando every year, like once a year.

  • So, like, that's about all I got for Florida life.

  • - I'm from Mexico but I lived in Florida

  • for like five years.

  • Did go through the party scene too.

  • - I just realized I didn't ask any clubbing questions.

  • - You didn't, you would have believed me then.

  • - Damnit! - I actually would have done

  • horribly, you would have thought I wasn't from there

  • from how little I went to clubs.

  • - I went to the hipster clubs.

  • This was a lot of fun and I hope you guys

  • learned somethin' about Miami.

  • So what city do you guys want to see next?
