No plan. No outline. No edits. Just pure, unfiltered Talking Ish.

Pepe and Raúl hit record and let the chaos unfold — from the Dodgers’ drama to Trump’s latest shutdown antics. In between uhs, pauses, and questionable transitions, they somehow keep it real and keep it rolling.

They promised an episode before midnight… and here it is. Raw. Honest. Unedited. Welcome to the wild west of Talking Ish. 🤠

New week, new episode… and a brand-new theme song! 🎵

We kick things off by apologizing (kinda) to our “hackers.” Then, in true Talking Ish fashion, we immediately derail into politics — breaking down Trump’s EO labeling ANTIFA as terrorists and how its vagueness could make even us targets. Spoiler: we’re not afraid, and we’ll keep using our First Amendment rights to speak for our people.

From there, it’s football talk — the Packers v. Cowboys tie — and we somehow solve the NFL’s biggest problem: ties. You’re welcome, Roger Goodell. 🏈

Finally, we tackle what Raúl calls “useless toys” and what Pepe calls “collectibles.” Ferbies, Labubus, Hot Wheels, cards, coins… and the shocking revelation that Raúl owns more shoes than a Top Model finalist. 👠

We actually kept it under an hour this time (miracles happen). That’s three weeks straight of Talking Ish — but don’t get too comfortable, we can’t promise consistency. 😂

We warned you Episode 7 went long… so here’s the continuation you didn’t know you needed. Now with less religion 🙏 and way more Ish 😂.

From workplace stories to Gen Z wildness (yes, including parents crashing job interviews), Pepe and Raúl pick up right where they left off — with plenty of banter, sidetracks, and laughs along the way.

Because why stop at 7A when you can have 7B?

Se les metió el Espíritu Santo a Pepe y Raúl… and se les pasó la mano. 😂 What was supposed to be a “quick segment” on religion (listener requested, by the way) turned into over an hour of holy banter, Bible verses, and plenty of Talking Ish.

They claimed they didn’t know what they were going to say… but somehow, Pepe and Raúl found themselves knee-deep in scripture, hypocrisy, and comedy along the way.

Grab your pan dulce, cafecito, or communion wine — because this is just Part A. Part B is coming soon, so pace yourself. 🙏

🎙️ Episode 6: La Historia, La Patria, y La Fiesta

Things got a little wild this week as we celebrated Mexican Independence Day the Talking Ish way. Between tangents, laughter, and a few unexpected rants, we dug into the history behind September 16th, the traditions that make the holiday special, and the beauty of the Mexican flag. Somewhere along the way, Pepe opened up about his apparent trauma with raisins in potato salad (😅) and we set the record straight once again: Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day.

It’s history, culture, comida, and chaos — all in one episode.

🎙️ Episode 5: La Venganza, La Vergüenza, y Lo Viral

We’re back with a fully Spanish episode of Talking Ish—and it’s packed with laughs, chaos, and lucha drama! In this one, Raúl relives his epic battle with Moctezuma’s Revenge during his trip to Mexico, we break down the shocking Raja Jackson incident that rocked the wrestling world, and we dive into all the viral highlights from Triplemanía XXXIII, from record-breaking moments to the wildest matches.

Between travel stories, food talk, and fan-favorite rants, this one’s a celebration of lucha libre, Mexican culture, and the unpredictable adventures of Talking Ish.

🎙️ Episode 4: The Liar, The Lucha, and The Legends

This week we covered it all — from politics to piledrivers. 🥴

👉 We broke down Trump’s latest policies on homelessness and mental health, and how they’re more likely to hurt vulnerable communities than help them.

👉 Then we jumped into the ring with some lucha talk ahead of Triplemanía, plus the wild story of El Grande Americano — a WWE joke character meant to insult the crowd that somehow got over big in AAA and became an honorary Mexican. 🇲🇽💀

👉 Finally, we took on the eternal battle: Superman vs. Batman. From Dean Cain embarrassing Supes by joining ICE, to Injustice Superman drawing comparisons to Trump (thanks, Raúl 😒), Pepe may have earned the win by default… but you’ll decide in our upcoming Instagram poll. 🦇🆚🦸

Raúl is headed to Mexico to pick up our legit luchador masks 🎭, so next episode will be recorded with him en México — and for the first time ever, completamente en español. 🇲🇽🔥

Raúl opens up about his days training with Cruz Azul's academy—and how choosing books over boots might’ve been his villain origin story. 🦹⚽️

From there, we dive into the Club World Cup celebration... until Trump crashes the party (because of course he does). And just when we thought we left the past behind, the call comes in—from our old boss—pulling us back into the madness of a job that nearly broke us.

We wrap things up with a teaser about a future guest appearance from our guy Art (trust us, it’ll be worth it).

Cups were raised. Cons were exposed. And that phone? Still ringing.

In this episode, we dive into Raul's brief but glorious foray into the world of lucha libre, complete with mistaken identity and bruised egos. Then we break down the 2025 Gold Cup Final where Mexico edged out the U.S. 2-1—what went right, what went wrong, and what it all means for the future of Team USA and the Mexico National Team. We also get real about the rising ICE raids happening across L.A. and discuss steps we can take to protect ourselves and our communities.

It’s a mix of laughs, nostalgia, and serious talk—just how we like it.

Episode 1 - Why Are We Even Friends?

Dos idiomas. Cero filtros.

In our first episode, we introduce ourselves and explain how we’re even friends. Batman v. Superman, Cruz Azul v. Club America, Packers v. Cowboys, and Real Madrid v. Barcelona. The rivalries run deep-but somehow, so does the friendship.

We also dive into some real conversations about the ongoing ICE raids in Los Angeles, the fear in our communities. And what it means to be Mexican-born, US citizens trying to balance live for this country with pride for our roots.

And because no conversation with us is ever completely serious, we possibly spread misinformation about quesadillas and why they don’t necessarily include cheese.

We share our plans to create social media spaces where listeners can connect, share their truths, and be a part of the community we’re building.

This is Talking Ish.

Dos idiomas. Cero filtros. Y posiblemente… sin queso.
