Chicano Shuffle

"I'm kind of comfortable with getting older because it's better than the other option, which is being dead. So I'll take getting older."  -G. Clooney

It's someone's birthday and we give an overview of the party... but first, he's got to take some unrelated s**t. This involves some discourse about partying then and now. Good times and good stories! Mixed in is some Mundial (World Cup) talk because it's that time.

We follow that up with some conversation about thoughts and stories of a recent trip to Arizona. Deja vu time... Mixed in is some Mundial talk because it's that time. Segue to more Mundial related talk and more trip related talk then more party talk. Sounds like a broken record but trust... esta chido.

In typical shuffle fashion that segues somehow to Minecraft. Yes, the video game. So, there is some video game discussion here. Then shuffle again to a dialogue on the Supreme Court decision on union fees.

We wrap it up with an announcement for a new t-shirt in our shop. All proceeds will be donated to charity. Link below.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

He lives!

We kick off with a quick recap of el compa's stand up comedy show. Shuffle to El Mundial... the World Cup! The excitement... the Northgate runs... the comedy... the controversy... the emotions! Ooooole, oooole, ooole... oooole! Yeah, episode over.

No... yeah... the episode continues. It shuffles over to a more serious note, this horrible deal with the migrant children and the 8 year old that got the cops called on her. To cool down the mood... micheladas! Salud! Shuffle to story time... someone takes a trip to the engine whisperer then someone tells us another couple good mechanic stories.

Warning: at this point, mistakes were made. No apology because it turns out to be a hilarious mistake that keeps on giving. Long story short... someone gets corrected but turns out he was correct to begin with (fact check was made after the episode).

Things get a little serious again... things are pretty serious in the country... but not to worry, shuffle... back to the pendejadas.

It's all wrapped up with a few more pendejadas.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

These family separations are ("were" hopefully) immoral no matter how to slice it. So, if you were thinking of buying a shuffle shirt, for now, F that plan and instead we ask that you donate to an organization that assists these children and families. Some are listed below, they are to get you started. As always with charities, do your due diligence.

• RAICES Texas - https://www.raicestexas.org  or  Donate on Facebook

• The Florence Project - https://firrp.org

• ACLU - https://www.aclu.org (not a charity) or their foundation (charity arm) https://action.aclu.org/give/make-tax-deductible-gift-aclu-foundation

Moving on up... two guests on today's episode... esta cabron.

El compa Momo came by the shuffle again with actor, and all round chingon vato, Anthony "Big Citric" Campos.

We chat it up about all kinds of pendejadas... in typical shuffle fashion. The discussion kicks off with tacos... of course. That leads somehow into confusing fans with family and "celebrity" status. We touch on the #MeToo in both a serious and not so serious tone. Plus a celebrity encounter at Momo's last show gone wrong.

Big Citric tells us about his start in the "biz" and the story how he met Momo. They also tell us a few stories about el jefe, Mr. Lopez. Then we have a discourse about Latinos in comedy and show business in general. That transitions nicely to making your own way in life and everything else.

It's all wrapped up with 10... 12... or 15 questions, something like that, with Big Citric.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

So for this holiday... wait... what holiday... in the British sense... lost episode time!

We banter about a chingon michelada delivery... good times. A massage story... not that kind cochinos! Something about Uber drivers that better be good listeners. We discuss more ride share stories... shuffle... electric scooters (again)... shuffle... preferences on warming tortillas... shuffle.

It's a shorter episode... so you get shorter notes. Holiday!

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

You'd think that after 40 of these we'd have our sh*t together but alas, we do not.

Warning: The first 9 1/2 minutes may sound like they were recorded through a kid's toy recorder... it might have been... but we eventually figure it out. We don't edit was the consensus and the episode carries on.

We started off with a conversation about the "player" advice someone received early on and how it ties in with the first time. Along the way we side track with some stories of the man, the legend... the grandpa. Somehow the conversation swings back around to the cabron at the condom factory messing with someone. Typical shuffle stuff.

The Roseanne show situation is discussed along with some other news and some "holy milk". That's followed up with some history provided by Married with Children. Then shuffle... to a discourse about old school horror movies because someone had a Halloween marathon.

We wrap it up with a quick dialogue about the "Survivors Guide to Prison" documentary.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

So... thirty-nine... yeah, we're still around... we assume, or hope,  you are also. The episode is kicked off with another instant classic cover by los esmits. Followed by some typical shuffle chingaderas.

We have a short discussion about The Smiths and Moz then someone tells us about cleaning the garage. Then a shuffle over to a discourse about working with tools and some old work stories including working with drywall, breaking some child labor laws, and warming up some burritos. We segue into golf... yeah golf... it's a solid segue. Actually, the talk turns to golf and hard times.

Continuing on... a story of heading to the gun range then a transition to another Netflix show or documentary. Shuffle... Urb-e... Shuffle... Urb-e...Shuffle... and some serious talk about immigration policy and a couple related headlines.

Then wrap up time.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

This week we kick it off with somewhat of a recap of the East LA CAPE experience. Good times and good people, check. The shuffle continues on down the rabbit hole with an attempt to catch up with all the headlines. Which seems unlikely. We touch on quite a few topics: racism, a Georgia governor race, Haitians in Tijuana, a very douchy Starbucks cup and of course, Santa Fe, Texas.

It's moves on to translators doing a horrible job in the ring. A very personal "Is It Douchy". Something about the issues of lending money. Plus, we confront an issue that is tearing the show apart one interview at a time... or maybe just being a slight annoyance.

It's all wrapped up with a bow in the episode recap.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

We packed up the gear, threw on our shuffle shirts, and headed to the East LA C.A.P.E (formerly East LA ComicCon)... some of us much earlier than others. What is there to say... we had a great time! It was a chingon event that we were honored to be a part of. Thanks for the invite.

The episode was recorded live on site at the Chicano Shuffle booth and is basically one guest after another. There were so many people we wanted to talk to but sadly, not enough time. There is always next time. That being said, grab that memory foam seat pad and brace yourself... this episode is loooong... but totally worth it. It's filled with the usual laughs and some very inspiring interviews. We left with a slight high from all the positive vibes and inspiration. Guest list was as follows:

Andres (East LA staff) - Dre's Geek Philosophy Podcast

Randy Beas (Montebello Art Walk) - Keeping the Culture Alive

Peter Melini (Event Jefe) - Nostalgic Book & Comics

Hans Cholo (Monkey Monsters cosplay) - Facebook Instagram

Rolando & Heriberto Rubalcava (Pipiripau Brand) -  Pipiripau Website

Rafael Navarro (Comic Book & Storyboard Artist) - Facebook Instagram

Many many thanks to those that sat down with these ramblers and to the organizers for having us.

So we're back it... we've got another fresh taco-inspired cover for the raza to kick off the episode. Recorded live in the studio garage, not to be skipped!

Someone went on a roundtrip and brought back no stories. We then go on to try catching up on all the recent news... lots has went down in the world. The catch up starts with the "golden state killer", Cosby and Kanye plus it continues through out the episode. That transitions us to a discourse about music, specifically rap/hip hop and how someone is getting into some modern music.

The shuffle segues to a story of a recent trip to the mall. That desmadre rolls us right into a classic shuffle story involving a roadtrip, beef jerkey, and a camera. Not going to lie... esta chingon. After all that... shuffle... to random news from the headlines about a screening of a new movie. Then... shuffle... to someone's continued journey back into the music scene and our night out supporting the raza.

And that's about 60% of the episode... it's a packed one. We wrapped it up with "quiere llorar,  quiere llorar", some LAFC news, and the most valuable paisa.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

First, let's get this out of the way... 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12345678987654321 ... yeah process that.

Point number two, this week's episode happens to be a lost episode. We kept it sealed in one of those vacuum bags, so it's a little dated but still fresh.

Coincidentally, we start with some traffic stop stories and car talk. In that conversation there is a key missing piece, the original Urb-e discussion. How many times have we brought them up without this origin discussion. Time to complete that puzzle. The shuffle continues on to a discourse about work and unions. You know us, sometimes we hit some serious topics between pendejadas.

We wrap it up with a quick conversation about Airbnb.
