Sweet Jesus Radio

On Cinco de Mayo evening, my peoples and I joined forces to talk about my weekend in Albuquerque with my brothers from the LNSC crew, Ready Player One, the 20 year anniversary of Big Pun - Capital Punishment and Neon Indian at Lowbrow Palace. We discuss the Kanye West/global warming connection, the uselessness of the Oxford comma, some of El Paso’s best burger and brew spots and Tito’s epic experience with Rakim and Rakim’s Yorkie Terrier, Minnie. Also, Jay admits his white privilege.

We have another “sniffley” start (see episode 81 :P) to the show, this time because of the hot ramen challenge. We talk about the American Fight League SWB 7 MMA event (March 31st) that I attended. Our in-house cicerone (as the kids say) helps us celebrate National Beer Day (April 7) by serving up some Get Elevated by La Cumbre Brewing and discussing multiple beer related current events. The Brain expresses his disdain for killer whales in captivity. Dee recounts her first visit to Topgolf and their built-in cardio workout.

Geo also tells us about the time he tagged on Mona the Elephant (disclaimer: he now loves elephants).

All the way from Houston, Texas, Ocho Sanchez returns to the show along with my brothers, Tito D and Groove. We kick things off with our in-house beer connoisseur, Tito, giving us a craft beer and brewery breakdown. We discuss Ocho’s upcoming banger, Hood Corridos Vol. 4, the birth of his daughter, the passing of his aunt and the filming of his new video, “El Diablo Nunca Duerme”.

We cap things off with some dope a cappellas from Ocho and Tito humbly brags about his chess skills.

We recap multiple 2017 highlights such as the “Take a Knee” movement, hurricane tragedies, police shootings and #metoo.
