Episode 54: Mukbang | Embarrassed Then, Thankful Now


Listen Later

In this Mukbang episode of Las Locas Chronicles, Jessica and Alexa are eating smackilicious food at El Rey de Sabor in Irving, TX while laughing their way down memory lane. The question on the table: What’s something you were embarrassed about as a kid that doesn’t bother you at all as an adult?

From remembering pastelillo sales in the back of the church to discovering the magic of the George Foreman grill, this episode is packed with humor, nostalgia, and perspective. The Locas talk about the things we swore we’d never do as kids—using coupons, caring about electricity bills, turning off lights—and how adulthood completely changes our view.

Alexa shares her legendary birthday routine, complete with free Starbucks, prime rib at the Big Texan, and Nothing Bundt Cakes, proving that grown confidence hits different. They reflect on how as children we often didn’t understand sacrifice, stewardship, or gratitude—but as adults, those lessons finally make sense.

The conversation turns heartfelt as Alexa reflects on realizing her parents were never “not enough,” but actually sacrificed everything to give their family a good life. She shares how her parents’ work ethic shaped her and how her mom’s decision to tithe marked a turning point toward financial freedom and stability.

Jessica opens up about the very thing she once complained about—her hair—which is now a signature part of who she is, her culture, and her identity.

This episode is a reminder to:

  • Be grateful for what you have
  • Be a good steward of what’s in your hands now
  • Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready
  • Walk in full obedience, not partial
  • Honor your parents while you still can

If there’s something you were embarrassed about as a kid, this episode challenges you to revisit it with adult eyes—and maybe even say thank you or ask forgiveness where it’s due.

Growing up changes everything—and that’s not something to be embarrassed about.
