This week we unpack what’s been happening in Mexico around El Mencho, cartel influence, global corruption, and how power protects power from narcos to names like Epstein, Diddy and Chalino Sánchez. From sueños narcos to nightmares.

Spicy takes and un poquito de chisme

⚠️ Mentions of drugs, violence, abuse, and sensitive content.

On this week’s How I Met Your Tía, we’re talking about that TikTok calling out millennial parents for trying to be their kids’ besties instead of, you know… their parents. From oversharing money stress to venting about adult drama, are we raising emotionally fluent kids or tiny therapists con trauma and hyper independence.

From “entrepreneur” with no LLC to “emotionally available” but ghosting by Tuesday… we’re exposing the little mentiras people tell just to get a shot at amor. Is it strategy or full-on tranza? We’re talking height inflation, filtered faces, fake hobbies, and why everyone suddenly “loves hiking.” If you have stretched the truth poquito, this one’s for you. 💋

Bad Bunny didn’t just do halftime, he repped la cultura on the world stage. 🇵🇷🔥

We break down how Benito infused the performance with Latino pride, from Spanish lyrics (sin traducir), to the dancers, designers, and businesses he put on. What symbolism people missed. Why representation hits different. And why choosing love over hate matters when culture gets loud.

If you’ve ever felt too Latino or not Latino enough, this one’s for you.

Dale play. Estamos aquí. 💃🏽

ChatGPT reads us like a Tía at Sunday dinner.

We talk red flags, green flags, and personality traits, then decide if we agree or if la Tía needs to mind her business or if we are delulu. *Bombastic Side-Eye*

Self-awareness, chisme, emotional maturity (maybe) and growth… más o menos.

This episode is equal parts reflective and relatable. We talk about making healthier choices while honoring the food we grew up on, because comida is cultura. We start with rapid-fire questions from friends, then open up about discipline (or lack thereof) , body changes, and letting go of the todo o nada approach . We also get honest about what we would’ve done different last year. No perfection. No shame. Just growth, tacos, and learning as we go.

The soft life sounds cute… until your inner voice says, “¿Ya limpiaste?” We talk growing up Latino, the pressure to always be productive, our parents’ packed schedules, and the irony and audacity of Vince having time while the rest of us are unlearning hustle guilt.

From blind loyalty to bad teams (looking at you, Raiders) to showing up for the people we love, this episode unpacks why we stay ride-or-die—as fans, friends, and family—even when it hurts. Fantasy football, bad decisions, and when we and others fall short.

Your favorite Latino besties are back. Holiday customs, superstition, and cultura, decoded…kind of.

From mal de ojo and limpias to pineapple on pizza, we break down the why behind holiday traditions and superstitions across cultures. Are these customs rooted in science, survival, religión, or pure chaos passed down by abuelas? In this episode we explore where these beliefs came from, how they evolved, and why we still swear by them, especially during the holidays. Equal parts cultura, history, and humor.

In this solo episode, Vince is Lone Rangering it while Eileen is out of office, and he’s taking a moment to give thanks to the people who shaped him. From family who brought the party, to friends who dropped wisdom, to neighbors who literally saved the day, these are the stories that built him. There are so many people to be thankful for, here are a handful.

When I look at all the pieces, the big picture of me makes sense.

It’s gratitude, it’s chaos, it’s childhood memories, Marine Corps moments, poker lessons, guardian angels, and a little bit of desmadre — all wrapped into one heartfelt episode. Tune in, feel the nostalgia, and maybe send someone a quick “thank you/ gracias” text today.
