I'm going to get right to the point. Both Ramiro and I went a few days without power. It sucked. Ramiro still, as of the recording of this episode, doesn' have power...And he has a cold.

 

After our short but extensive "first world" complaining we evolved into "poop talk". We got pretty real with some of our stories about possibly pooping one's pants...

 

Enjoy!

Ramiro's wife is two months away from running her first marathon. She's in full-swing into her training. Ramiro takes this time to reflect on his past marathon training and the many funny moments along the way.

 

We also catch up on Santi's constant battle with his internal, and external weight battles. Santi also says, once again, now he's going to get back into shape.

"Santi is no longer Hispanic", according to Ramiro. This bold statement was made after Santi's revelation that he and his family love to ski.  Of course, Ramiro gives Santi shit about this.

 

This debate will be the new standard in sports. Who is a greater athlete, Tom Brady or Micheal Jordan? Of course, much of this debate is riding on the outcome of Super Bowl 52. Either way, it's still fun to start having. Ramiro, and Santi both take opposing sides. What do you guys think??

Ramiro has had a very special relationship with his primary care physician. For years he's always been there to ease Ramiro's fear of the medical world. Well, his doctor recently retired. This left Ramiro in search of a new doctor, and for Ramiro, this process has not been easy. This journey has left Ramiro with a "new lease on life".

 

We also talk about the many awkward moments we've both had with doctors. Some are funny, some are scary, and all we hope are entertaining.

 

Enjoy Episode 060. And as always, Thank You for your support!

Ramiro is on his second marriage and Santi has been married for 12 years. It's safe to say they have "marriage experience". That means they must have some good viewpoints of what makes a marriage work. In both good times, and bad.

 

Santi also gives us an update on the current state of his marriage. In past episodes he has shared some the difficulties he's been dealing with.

 

Ramiro's honeymoon is coming up this year, but he has no-idea where he's going. Santi knows and he refuses to tell him.The Challenges Of Keeping a Marriage Together

The holidays are all about family and spending time with the ones you love. That's always the plan at least. Then comes the moment when reality sets in and bringing the chaos. That's pretty much what the holidays were for Ramiro and Santi!

I've been friends with Ramiro for about 15 years now. We've shared a lot of great memories and have seen each others lives change in so many different ways. About 5 years ago I saw Ramiro go through some very dramatic life situations. He was going through a divorce and he had also lost his "work wife", Pebbles, after she was let go from our company. To say that his life's stability was in question around this time is an understatement. Fast forward about 6 months when life for him seemed to be turning around. He started smiling again and the belief that there was life after divorce started to build in his soul. He believed that happiness could happen to him once again. Two days later Ramiro and his family received devastating news. His ex-wife Sandie had to have emergency brain surgery to remove a brain tumor. Emotions, fears, and of course worst case scenarios starting building in his head. Life was once again getting the best of him.

 

There are very few people on earth that know the full story and know the emotions he was feeling at that time, and the months leading up to it. This episode is that story. You will hear Ramiro in a way you've never heard him before.

 

We give you Episode 057: Ramiro Like You've NEVER Heard Him

 

-Santi

Santi has been open and very candid about the recent "issues" in his marriage. Like many challenges things end up getting worse before they get better. Well, things got a little worse over Thanksgiving.

Santi has been very open with the many challenges he's facing in his life right now. The biggest one as of late is between him and his wife. Both have full-time jobs. They both also started separate companies all while trying to raise 4 kids. In that chaos, they've struggled to find time for each other, which has to lead to some tough times for Santi and his wife.

 

Ramiro and Santi also get a little spiritual in this episode as they explore life after death. They both have very separate opinions on what they want and believe what happens when one passes on.

 

And...of course, we can't have an episode without a little sex talk!
