Summary

LA PLATICA: "Dating Apps Ruined Dating 👀 + Clika Takeover!"

Hosts: Sebastian Robles (Sebas), Josh Leyva
Guests: Concrete (comedian/actor), JD (musician/actor), Duno (comedian/actor)
Date: December 29, 2025
Main Theme:
A year-in-review conversation blending reflections on modern dating (especially dating apps and societal shifts), personal growth, and a spotlight on the upcoming film "Clika" with director and cast guests. The episode also emphasizes the changing nature of relationships and the evolving paths of Latino creators in entertainment.

1. Episode Overview

The hosts open up celebrating the end of 2025 with gratitude for their audience and consistent weekly uploads.
The first half focuses on societal shifts in dating, relationships, and family — especially the role of dating apps and social media.
The second half, joined by the "Clika" cast, delves into their backgrounds, the making of the film, Latino representation, and their goals for the coming year.

2. Year-End Reflections and Gratitude

(03:00 – 11:18)

Sebas and Josh appreciate their listeners, reflecting on how four years of consistency has built a unique community.
- Quote: “We have not missed a single week of uploading since we’ve been on this journey…people have showed up for us every single week. It just means the world that you guys have rocked with us…” – Josh (03:41)
They reminisce about their year: live shows, touring, growing more present with loved ones, and the personal growth that came from stepping out of their comfort zones.
- Quote: “There was, like, a lot of growth within us from those shows, you know, like, getting out of our comfort zone.” – Josh (10:17)

Memorable Moment

Discussion on the personal impact of time with family, especially aging parents and grandparents.
- Quote: “I realized that me growing up, I’m scared to lose time with my mom, but in reality…the stress bar for me isn’t as high as her stress bar for her own mom.” – Sebas (14:01)

3. The Evolution of Dating & Relationships

(18:44 – 35:10)

A. Family Structures Then vs. Now

Hosts note how prior generations had large families due to economic necessity (farm labor, traditions).
Now, smaller families are more common, and individualism has grown.

B. Cost and Culture

“It’s insanely expensive…People get scared from that…they’re like, I’m not ready yet.” – Sebas (19:40)
Focus on modern economics, the price of raising children, and changing priorities.

C. Technology’s Impact & Dating Apps

Josh emphasizes how dating and relationships have been transformed by dating apps and “swipe” culture.
- Quote: “People have so much, like, options that they’re not actively going out into the real world. It’s just changed so much, bro…” – Josh (18:58)
The availability of endless choices leads to people serially searching for the “perfect” partner, making genuine, lasting connections harder.
Pressure to find the “perfect” person and the FOMO perpetuated by social media.
- Quote: “You match with somebody, you can kick it with somebody tonight…Even if you find your perfect person...every relationship takes an immense amount of work, selflessness. There’s so much that goes into a relationship.” – Josh (21:14)
- Quote: “Now everything is so accessible that you can easily just find somebody else. Right? But if you have that mentality of switching that fast, you’re gonna switch again.” – Sebas (22:43)
Reflection that self-improvement and self-awareness are prerequisites for finding and sustaining healthy relationships.
- Quote: “Before we even go into nitpicking on like other people, I think people need to work on themselves…Would my perfect person want to date me?” – Josh (26:11)

Advice Segment

(29:12 – 30:16)

Hosts urge listeners to self-reflect, “write pros and cons about yourself,” and focus on being the kind of partner they would want.

4. The "Clika" Movie Takeover

(36:45 – 54:14)

Introduction to Guests and Movie

Concrete, JD, and Duno join to discuss "Clika," set to release January 23, 2026.
- The film serves as a cultural milestone, featuring Latino creators on both sides of the camera.
- Quote: “It’s exciting, man. It’s exciting. Well, like I said, congratulations. Don’t want to get too, like, crazy about the movie.” – Sebas (57:34)

Behind the Scenes & Acting Journeys

Guests share challenges: long shooting days (12-hour days), working in extreme heat, new acting experiences, and the importance of community and mutual support.
JD, primarily a musician, shares his nervousness about acting but ultimately saw it as proof "you can do it” with drive and humility.

Film Industry Insights

Discussion of the creative process, being allowed to bring their own “sassón” to the roles, and perfectionism about watching one’s own work.
- Quote: “Sometimes you do projects and it’s a show…But doing this project I was like…this might catapult us, man.” – Concrete (49:40)
- Duno and Concrete highlight learning new skills, critiquing their own performances, and the struggle of dubbing films into Spanish, including matching breath and unique expressions (56:01).

5. Personal Growth, Goals, and Looking Forward

(59:16 – 65:15)

Each Guest’s Hopes for 2026

Concrete: Wants to transition into more acting, fewer club shows, more theater, more time with family, ongoing focus on health and fitness.

Duno: Open about facing loss in 2025, prioritizing maturity, health, and launching his own tour and new DJ/Latin tech house projects.

Memorable Moment

Duno on relationships and dating, balancing career visibility and private life:

“They like everything that comes with it, but they don’t like everything that comes with it…My personality, I’m going to be who I am on camera.” (66:19)

6. Culture, Representation, and Comic Relief

(69:00 – End)

The cast reminisces about shooting on location, local food, and cultural pride.
