March 23, 2026 | Hosts: Sebastian Robles and Josh Leyva | Guest: Jessica

Episode Overview

This lively episode of LA PLATICA dives fearlessly into life’s greatest mysteries and mind-bending conspiracies. Hosts Sebas and Josh, joined by Jessica, explore questions of civilization, religion, death, afterlife, dreams, lost treasures, money, and the limits of human knowledge. Through humor, vulnerability, and curiosity, they tackle what keeps their audience up at night—from the mysteries of the pyramids and parallel universes to personal stories of loss, faith, and matching jewelry gone missing. The tone is as playful and warm as it is thoughtful, showing how “gentlemen exist” even in the wildest conversations.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Civilization & Lost History (00:00–00:37, 41:00–53:27)

• Are we the most advanced people ever?

  • Josh: “For me to think that, like, this is the highest we've ever gone in civilization for as long as the Earth has lived, I'm like, maybe not. And honestly, probably not.” (00:00)
  • Sebas adds skepticism about official history and mentions the uncanny sophistication of ancient monuments.

• Tartaria Conspiracy Theory

  • Jessica introduces Tartaria—theorized as a lost global civilization erased by a cataclysmic “mud flood.”
    • “Supporters believe evidence of this lost empire can be found in old maps, unusual architecture, and large buildings they think couldn't have been built with the technology officially recorded at the time.” (41:16)
  • Discussion shifts to what the government is and why it would hide the truth, with comedic jabs at secret societies.
  • Both hosts raise the possibility that “our civilization might just be one of many,” with others far more advanced.

• Pyramids, Atlantis, and Ancient Tech

  • Sebas marvels at the true, original appearance of the pyramids:
    • “It was limestone. It was sleek granite.”
    • They debate the rumors of hidden chambers, mysterious hieroglyphics (like “ancient helicopters”), and stories of Atlantis as evidence of lost knowledge.
  • Josh: “There's no way they built this with no technology.” (49:04)
  • The team acknowledges facts might be warped by time and storytelling: “Life is a big ass game of telephone.” (29:30)

Faith, Religion, and Spiritual Curiosity (16:04–37:46)

• Blending Science & Faith

  • Listeners appreciate that Sebas and Josh candidly ask tough questions:
    • “You guys were kind of just asking questions that a lot of people have. So I feel like it was a really refreshing take on. We want to understand this better.” (16:27, Jessica reading listener feedback)
  • Josh: “If you're a believer, you don't ask. You just have faith. But it's like, no, but I. I'm so curious, you know, And I still want to understand.” (17:33)

• On Grief, Life & Death

  • A moving listener comment about trying to connect with a deceased parent sparks vulnerability and comfort:
    • “If I want my dad to be with me the whole time, he'll be with me the whole time... whatever you feel is right, you know? And I think that if you feel like your dad is connected to you and he is watching you, that is what is.” (23:16, Sebas & 23:54, Josh)
  • Jessica: “If it's significant to you, like, that means that that's your person trying to communicate to you and letting them [you know]... and that's all that matters.” (28:05)
  • Josh and Sebas agree—coincidences may be cosmic “winks” from loved ones or the universe.

• Angels, Jinn, and Religion

  • Listener Yaselin shares the Muslim belief in Jinn as real, free-willed beings:
    • “What people often think are ghosts are actually jinn.” (28:09)
  • Sebas: “Every religion has so many different beliefs, right?...I always put myself in a position where it's like, imagine if they're right, you know, like, how cool is that?” (29:34)
  • Jessica explains angelic hierarchies—archangels vs. angels—and how even Lucifer was reportedly an archangel (31:39–32:18).
  • Playful speculation about the physicality (“Do you think they're buff?”) and roles of angels turns into a good-natured back-and-forth.
  • Humorous chat about Virgin Mary, the origins of Jesus’s names, religious denominations, and how faith traditions splinter like “gangs” (37:46).

Universe, Parallel Worlds, and Dream Logic (19:00–22:24, 54:16–62:27)

• Everything Is Connected

  • Powerful testimony from listeners who hear their lives echoed in the show:
    • “It just so happens to be that it's a topic on the show that I'm going through... This was such a great reminder that God is so much more bigger than what our dreams may see or what our problems may seem.” (19:10)
  • The team encourages sharing stories and cultivating vulnerability as a “muscle”—with spillover effects for real-world compassion.

• Are We in a Simulation?

  • The group riffs on the idea that reality could be as illusory as an ant’s understanding of humans, or layers within a simulation (40:01): “How do you not know someone's microscoping our ass and we are the cell[?]” (40:29)

• Dreams as Alternate Realities

  • Mariana’s question prompts fascinating theories:
    • “Sometimes I think that [dreams are] just our subconscious... But other times I wonder if we travel to our other realities. Sort of like the movie everything, everywhere, all at once.” (57:43)
  • Sebas: “I like to believe that in the dream that I'm having that actually happened in another parallel univers[e]... Sevas is living a crazy life right now.” (58:54)
  • The team discusses lucid dreaming, techniques for control, recurring dreams, and even AI’s attempts to record dreams. (59:49–61:44)

Money: Debt, Injustice, and the System (62:27–67:03)

• Who Do We Owe All This Money To?
  • Listeners’ existential dread surfaces in questions about currency and national debt:
    • “The concept of money is one thing I think about. Like, will it ever run out? ... And also, how is it that the US is in debt? Like, who do we owe, bro?” (62:27)
  • Jessica explains that most US debt is held by its own citizens, institutions, and the Federal Reserve, with 25% held by foreign nations like Japan and China. (64:00)
  • Josh and Sebas express confusion about the logic of “double-taxing” earned income, cash culture, and how the entire financial system feels like an elaborate, rigged game. (65:07)
  • Spirited, comedic conclusion: “No one pay taxes... What are they gonna do? Nothing!” (67:03)

Takeaways

• The big questions—death, dreams, faith, conspiracies, lost civilizations—don’t have answers, but talking about them makes us all less alone.
• Vulnerability is a strength. Talking openly about confusion, grief, and curiosity can have profound impacts.
• It’s okay to hold sacred beliefs playfully or to not have beliefs at all. Wonder and humility unite us.
• Reality might be weirder, more connected, and more changeable than we think—so keep your mind (and heart) open.
