“I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you’ve probably misunderstood what I’ve said.” – Alan Greenspan

So… yeah… this week we go back and try to clear up a delicate topic from episode 002 before we continue on with the irregularity that is our scheduled program.

We than carry forward and maybe for the first time (of course with a few detours), we end up staying under the umbrella of the topic of life. But wait you say… that is just about everything under the sun… okay you got me there. Maybe something more like… living a successful life.

Under that smaller umbrella, we touch on a few related topics such as: the 33% rule, family time, and negative people. In, around, and in between those topics… does that make sense… *shrug*… we get into Life’s User Manual. How? Where? What? We may or may not answer any of that… you’ll have to listen and see what these vatos say.

Plus a retraction from last week and everyone’s new favorite segment (we hope), Is it douchy!

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Btw…

If you can spare a dollar or 2 or 5… Puerto Rico is in dire need and donor fatigue may be setting in after everything that has happened over the last few weeks. They are Americans and our response should be in kind to any other Americans in need, no matter what bs our President is saying. The logistics are a little tougher but that shouldn’t mean we stumble or hesitate. If you can, here are some links:

One last note…

We recorded this episode before the horrific event in Las Vegas… we’d like to send our thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families. Plus our appreciation and respect for the first responders and those that helped each other even while bullets flew. The shock, the anger and grief… we will leave it at that for now… check the link below:

You still around… wow… thanks! So, episode 4… after the heavy topics of episode 3, we try to lighten the mood a bit but we do still stumble over some serious topics.

We start off with a lightening quote and move on to discussing the advancing tech of turn signals. Of course, we naturally move backwards in time to talking about some old school topics… such as “K.I.T”.

That segues us into someone’s story of life as a tagger and a quick talk about 90’s racism. We take a right turn into some more stories of Peru and El Salvador.

Also, we end up talking about Selena and there are some surprising comments made. Yeah, you have to hear this.

Plus, new segment “Is it douchy?” … and… and… sponsors!

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Ramon and Estevs with the token guy

Ramon being a llama in Peru

After, a much appreciated, positive response from the raza… we carry on into episode 3.

Just as everyone gets a little more comfortable behind the mic, the world is supposed to end…WTF. Luckily, the end times were rescheduled… the show goes on. We do a quick pass on how men should be treating their women and somehow, don’t ask how, that segues into an all star softball moment.

We discuss the disasters that are wrecking havoc and destroying people’s lives. This leads to some heavy topics, yeah we don’t shy away. We get into the disaster that is our president and of course that leads us to a talk about racism. Yeah… it gets deep. And you know where this is going end up… it’s the end of the world!

All this heavy discussion takes us to another obvious place, Halloween stories and someone being haunted. Thrown in for good measure, some stories from a trip to Peru.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Btw…

Let’s take a moment and talk about something very real…

There have been a lot of disasters in the passed few weeks, including the most recent earthquake in Mexico with approx 300+ lives lost (currently) and many more still buried in the rubble.

Rolling into the big 002… have the jitters shaken off… we might not remember because there were more adult beverages served… you tell us!

In this episode 2.5 (mistakes were made), we bounce around as usual with some random stories including the story behind the “Jimi Hendrix esta muerto” jam. That takes us into discussing how Ramon is a bad fan plus mixtapes and CDs.

The conversation somehow leads to topics, such as, movie remakes and Google fucking up your ability to tell a good story. Then Ramon, and Ramon alone, tells us his theory on cholo life insurance.

We round out this episode discussing the delicate topic of women in the workplace. Yeah… someone went there.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

When we lived Downtown

When Estevs played music

And here we go… episode 001… we can do better they said… okay maybe not better but it will be fun they said… so, let’s get this show on the road they said!

In this debut episode we discuss getting this podcast finally off the ground, talk a bit about ourselves, and some random stories. All while we try to shake off the “we are recording this” jitters. So, bear with us on this journey.

We also get into being burned for 50 cents by street beggars and a flying burrito story. In between, we shuffle around some random topics for bit. Somehow, we segue into being selected as a quinceanera chambelan and the classic discussion about splitting the bill.

We end with classic drunkard stories, including Oktoberfest beer steins. Below are the mentioned photos.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned…
