Los Yappers

It’s spooky season, but the things that scare us most have nothing to do with ghosts.

We kick things off with Kelbin making a singer comparison that has Oscar a little TOO tickled about who he apparently sounds like. Then, we get into the fears that actually keep us up at night: the embarrassing moments we’ve already survived, the things we know life will eventually make us face, and the completely irrational scenarios our brains have decided to prepare for anyway.

Some fears are real. Some are inevitable. And some involve a work trip going horribly, horribly wrong.

Growing up Latino gave us a lot to love… and apparently a few things we’re still working through. 😂

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re talking about the best AND worst parts of growing up Latino. From the food, family and culture we wouldn’t trade for anything to the expectations, guilt and childhood experiences that hit a little different now that we’re adults.

But even when we got into the “worst” parts, we somehow found the good in them too.

It’s Hispanic Heritage Month, and we’re celebrating with a little history, a lot of laughs, and some questionable stereotypes.

We kick things off by reading some of YOUR reviews of the show before diving into the history behind Hispanic Heritage Month. Then, in our Gay Agenda, Oscar gets political (again) and shares his thoughts on the president's press ban, while Kelbin reminds everyone to support their local Hispanic restaurants and shares some of his favorite dishes to order.

For our main topic, we’re playing a game of WELL YES or WELL NO! Are Hispanic stereotypes actually true, or have we all just been watching too many telenovelas? From our families to our food and everything in between, we're putting these stereotypes to the test.

We’re back with Maternal Mayhem Part 2: The Remix.

Before we actually get to the main topic, Kelbin somehow convinces Oscar to watch Halloween 4, and we have thoughts on the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under vs. the World (well yes, we love international drag race season because we're gay af).

For the Gay Agenda, Oscar thinks we need to get a little more comfortable calling out people in positions of power when we safely can. Meanwhile, Kelbin thinks we should all lie and cheat more… which somehow leads to him doing something radio related for the first time in a WHILE. 👀

And yes, eventually we get to Maternal Mayhem. We’re checking back in on where things stand with our mothers, what’s changed since the first conversation, what hasn’t, and how we’re navigating those relationships now.Come for the maternal mayhem. Stay because apparently we had 47 other things to discuss first.

This week, we’re talking burnout, self care, and apparently some of the things Kelbin does alone that Oscar finds VERY questionable.

On the Gay Agenda, Oscar is fresh off a trip to UF and has some thoughts about the hype around college football tailgating. Kelbin’s agenda takes a more serious turn after a conversation with a coworker about protecting her child from gay disney content sparked a much bigger discussion.

That leads us into this week’s main topic: the moments when we put our foot in our mouths, said something we weren’t proud of, and had to learn from it.

Kelbin has a new job update and, surprisingly, might finally be feeling at peace with leaving radio behind… for now. 👀

On the Gay Agenda, Oscar reflects on Dolly Parton’s passing and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind, while Kelbin has some complaints about his dodgeball experience not exactly living up to expectations.

Then, a trip back to North Carolina for his niece’s going-away party unexpectedly hits Kelbin HARD. One box of old photos later, he’s crying and trying to figure out why looking back at a life he’s already moved on from brought up so much emotion. We talk nostalgia and making peace with the trauma we've gone through.

THE YAPPERS ARE BACK!

After taking a much-needed hiatus, we’re catching up on what the break did for us, reading some of the incredibly sweet messages you sent while we were gone, and figuring out what coming back looks like.

On the Gay Agenda: Kelbin has thoughts on Big Brother, Oscar mourns the loss of an actress, and then we get into MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY.

When does putting yourself first turn into treating everyone else like a supporting character? We look back at friendships and relationships where someone somehow made OUR lives about them.

It's been a busy couple of weeks. We're catching up on everything we've missed, apologizing for the delayed episode, finally revealing Kelbin's new job, and talking about where our heads have been lately. We also share a small update about the podcast and what to expect in the near future.

Looking back, unemployment taught us way more than we expected. This week we're talking about the lessons that stuck with us, how it impacted our relationship, and the mindset shifts we'll carry with us forever. We also need your opinions on a debate happening in our house: should we get a second dog?

This week on Los Yappers, we're recapping one unforgettable weekend. Oscar kicks things off with another edition of the Gay Agenda, explaining why men ain't sh*t (with love... kind of). Then we play a completely unserious game of "Things Straight Men Do That Are Gay," and let's just say... the evidence is compelling.

But somewhere along the way, the episode takes a surprisingly wholesome turn. Kelbin's straight friends came to town, and after spending the weekend together, we found ourselves talking about something we don't hear enough about: the importance of male friendships, showing up for your people, and why those bonds matter more than ever.
