Well, no, there wasn't any redundancy in the radio ad, but rather,
a pretty clear case of
1. code-mixing on the numbers
    one eight cero cero
and
2. an exclam with "Spanish" phonology
    ey (=Eng "hey)--actually, more [e:y]
and
3. a Spanish word that most (?) urban/Chicagoan speakers would know
    chica

all said in a big, bluff, come-on voice. Definite pause between
the numbers and the rest:

    "one eight cero cero PAUSE [e:y] chica!"
