2. Key Discussion Points & Insights

How the Trip Happened (06:11 – 08:28)

• Spontaneity at its Best: The guys decided to go to Mexico City right after Mexico beat Ecuador in the group stage. "We decided to do this the day they beat Ecuador... twenty minutes later, we're looking at flights." (Josh, 06:26)
• SeatGeek Shoutout: Their seats for the historic game were purchased on a whim at LAX airport’s bar, using SeatGeek after a couple mimosas. “You might be on TV next.” (Sevas, 00:44)
• No Guarantee: The crew was only “75% sure” they’d even go to the game, planning to enjoy the atmosphere regardless.

Mexico City’s World Cup Spirit vs. LA (02:55 – 04:33)

• Vibrant Hosting: “In Mexico City, bro, the whole city is about the World Cup. From the moment you land… it just felt alive.” (Josh, 03:31)
• Night & Day with U.S.: LA didn’t show the same level of city-wide excitement. “You land in Mexico and... football is life.” (Sevas, 04:19)
• Cultural Contrasts: From street parties and bandas to drinking openly in public, Mexican hosting was next level. “It’s like concerts on the street… you’d get in trouble here in the U.S.” (Sevas, 04:33)

Food, Weather, and City Life (08:42 – 16:31)

• First Stop, OXXO: Fueling up on sandwiches straight from the airport, delighting in simple pleasures.
• Crazy Weather: Epic hailstorm en route to their first meal in the city: “I can never have a nice car over there… it’d get wrecked!” (Sevas, 09:40)
• Bar Hopping & Foodie Joys: Recommendations for top Mexico City food spots like Mikompa Chava (“top five restaurants”), taco stands, and dive bars.

Game Day Vibes (16:00 – 23:08)

• Morning Energy: Mimosas and shots before breakfast at their hotel (Volga), where “everybody was soccer vibes to the t.” (Sevas, 16:47)
• City Shuts Down for Football: Streets closed, stores shuttered, and public spaces overflowing with thousands hours before kickoff.
• Pre-game Rituals: Acquiring supplies for the ride—navigating Mexico’s famous “ley seca” (dry law) on Sundays, including a “shady” beer purchase that nearly got foiled by a surprise police visit.
  • “I have nothing bad to say about seats on the flight… but I will say this right now, there is one seat that I don't think anybody should experience.” (Sevas, 55:47) – Later, he details the woes of sitting in the back row aisle next to the bathroom on their return flight.

Stadium Arrival & The Azteca Atmosphere (30:50 – 34:43)

• Epic Arrival: The famed Estadio Azteca does not disappoint: “You just feel the atmosphere.” (Sevas, 31:09)
• Packed Vibes: Unlike stadium experiences in the U.S., entry at Azteca was joyous and easy, filled with music, vendors, and fans in vibrant costumes.
• Top-Tier Seats: Their chosen tickets gave them easy access to amenities and put them dead center in the “friends and family” section for the England team, a unique moment surrounded by passionate English fans.

On TV, Fame, and Emotional Impact (35:31 – 42:44)

• Going Viral: Multiple cameras roamed by, but no one realized just how prominent their on-screen moments would be until messages started pouring in:
  • “As soon as Sebas got featured on TV, our phones were blowing up. It was immediate.” (Josh, 36:55)
• 30 Million Viewers: The broadcast was one of the most watched games of the tournament. “You were the most famous man on the planet for a split moment in time.” (Josh, 38:53)
• Raw Emotions: Sebas describes tearing up mid-game from the overwhelming joy and pride—not just from the game but from being seen, recognized, and “representing the passion of Mexico.” (41:02)
  • “I started tearing up… how cool is it that that just happened to me?” (Sevas, 41:02)
  • "I think me, Josh, Robert, we were just a speck of green… amongst a huge canvas of white." (Sevas, 42:27)

The Heartbreak of Losing, the Bond of Football (45:44 – 48:58)

• Emotional Investment: The loss to England was crushing, but the journey mattered more than the result.
  • “That heartbreak, that loss, felt like a heartbreak.” (Josh, 46:31)
  • "I’ve never experienced such a heartbreak… the World Cup is beautiful for that." (Sevas, 47:33)
• Community & Family: Sebas’s family in a small town restaurant in Mexico exploded with pride upon seeing him onscreen. “The reaction was so priceless…” (Sevas, 50:59)
• Universal Football Joy: The World Cup brings people together—Mexicans, English fans, and travelers alike united for the love of the game.

Reflections on Time, Memory, and Living in the Moment (44:04 – 45:18)

[Sevas]

Jesus Christ. Yeah. Hashtag Mondays don't suck. Shout out to our sponsors back at SeatGeek. Number one ready ticketing app on the App Store. Use SeatGeek. We've been using SeatGeek a lot. And you know what we used it for recently?

[Josh]

What's that?

[Sevas]

The World Cup. We were there.

[Robert]

We.

[Sevas]

We were there.

[Josh]

I actually had a few people ask me if we use SeatGeek and I'm like, you guys think this is a game? This ain't a game. We. About this life. Honestly, it's not for nothing. SeatGeek is like the best app to use when it comes to ticketing. It's just so easy, user friendly. It's awesome. And yes, we went to the World cup in Mexico City. We had the time of our lives. Sevas was on tv, which we'll, we'll touch on. We had some of the incredible seats. Incredible experience. It was insane, bro. I don't even. I feel like people have been asking you like, how has it been? And like, I'm like, I don't even know if words can, you know, really, they can't justify how incredible of an experience.

[Sevas]

It can't, it can't. Like you said, you can't describe, you can't justify the emotions, the feelings, the magic around the city. You know, obviously Mexico City is already such a magical city where, you know, adding the World cup there, adding the culture, people flying in from all over the world, especially you know, England in that weekend, the food, the people, the, the energy already that it already has. And like I said, adding the World cup on top of it was just so memorable.

[Josh]

Yeah. But so the US is obviously hosting as well, along with Canada and Mexico. We're in LA, which is one of the, at SoFi is one of the stadiums that they're hosting the World Cup. But it has not felt like LA was giving World cup energy. The only thing that I really saw, we went to, oh, we went to the USA game and SoFi, obviously that's where it's at. Like a little bit around it. Like you were like, okay, I'm at a, like a FIFA World cup game. But other than that, it doesn't, I don't even. It's not even. It's like out of sight, out of mind. You just forget. But in Mexico City, bro, the whole city is about the World Cup. From the moment that you land in the airport, they had a bunch of the big World cup ball, bunch of posters. It just felt alive.

[Sevas]

There were being. Mexico is being a great host.

[Josh]

They're being a great host.

[Sevas]

They're going above and beyond, you know what I mean? Like LAX or something. You might see like some FIFA stuff or some football, but stuff, you know, but that's really it. But you land in Mexico and I mean, immediately, footballers, football is life.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

And, you know, it goes to show it's. It's there and a lot of other countries, just not as much here in the United States. But I think US is doing a good job. But it doesn't compare to Mexico. You know, obviously, us Mexicans and us Latinos, we're raised and. And we have traveled to our hometown or where our parents are from, where our grandparents are from, and we understand that it's so much different than the United States. You know, there's. There's. There's definitely, like, some shift in culture. And I mean, for example, partying on the street, you know what I mean, and making. Not necessarily a mess, but, you know, spraying people with spuma and. And, you know, being able to drink on the street and having bandas and people selling stuff and having, like, these huge. It's almost like these concerts on the street that. That's not really allowed over here. You get in trouble.

[Josh]

Part of the culture over here, it's not.

[Sevas]

You just get in trouble.

[Josh]

The closest thing we have to that is tailgating.

[Sevas]

And that's already pretty, like, in, like, enforced with, like, the law.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

You know, like, there's certain things that you can do, right? Yeah.

[Josh]

Like property, like, limitations.

[Sevas]

Yeah. So it's just. You're never gonna get that here because there's just. Which is fine. I respect it. There's too many rules, and, you know, you gotta abide by those things. But should we speak briefly or should we give them the lowdown of, like, from the moment we landed at LAX to the moment we stepped foot in the historic Grand Azteca?

[Josh]

Let me set the stage real quick. It wasn't necessarily in our plans to go to Mexico City to watch them against London. We didn't necessarily plan that ahead of time. We decided to do this the day they beat Ecuador.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Moments after they beat them, we immediately started looking into flights, hotel to see if this was, like, possible. And it was very possible. So literally, Mexico beats Ecuador. Twenty minutes later, we're looking at flights. We're like, you know what we're doing? This effort we're doing, going.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Energy was high. It just. It felt right.

[Sevas]

Right.

[Josh]

Like it had to be done.

[Sevas]

It's. We were like, we'll leave Saturday, be there Sunday, leave Monday morning.

[Josh]

That's it. In and out.

[Sevas]

Yeah. We got flights sat all the way in the back. Yeah.

[Josh]

I mean, that's vibe out, bro.

[Sevas]

Whatever. Let's just get there. And to be honest, we didn't even Plan on going to the game.

[Josh]

Well, it was like, up in the air.

[Sevas]

It's like, okay, if we get tickets. Cool. If not being there is going to be magical.

[Josh]

Magical.

[Sevas]

Yeah. So continue.

[Josh]

So we decide that we're gonna go get on the flight we're at. Actually, we decided that we were gonna buy tickets at LAX Airport at the bar.

[Sevas]

That's right.

[Josh]

Moments before our flight, we went on seatgeek. Let's just see what's available, right? And see if there's any green dots. Because green dots mean good.

[Sevas]

Yeah, there wasn't any red dots.

[Josh]

There wasn't any. Well, there was a red dots because,

[Robert]

like,

[Sevas]

I feel like the tickets are so expensive.

[Josh]

Look. Nonetheless, their tickets are expensive. Like, so expensive.

[Sevas]

Let's just be real here to the point where it's like, damn. Like, for a couple, it was like, so much money, and we're like, damn. You know? But we checked again, and it almost like they kind of dropped a little bit. And then, you know, we already had some mimosas at the lounge. You know, it was feeling good. We bought this, like, big FIFA World cup trophy necklace. And, you know, there was already so many people at lax and they were just kind of like, I don't know, the vibes were there, you know, and we didn't know that they were going to go to Mexico, too, to watch the game. So when we saw the tickets, we're like, should we do it? Yeah. So we're like, 75. Sure we're gonna get them. We still wait a little bit, and then we got them.

[Josh]

But we decided at that moment. We're gonna go to the game.

[Sevas]

Yeah. Like, why not? Like, whatever.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah, like it. Yeah, we're gonna do it. So we get to Mexico City, and what was the first thing we did? I was faded.

[Sevas]

First thing we do, we land in Mexico City. And in Mexico City, there's an oxo, literally inside the terminal, right? Immigration. We stop. We got some channels, some sandwiches. Super good. Just so basic. God Companion Te Graal and Jamon. And it was like a mayonnaise that had, like, jalapeno in it. It was insanely good.

[Josh]

Soft. Soft.

[Sevas]

We were starving. And then we go to our hotel and we just freshen up. And then we just start walking the street. One of our friends has never gone to M. The. The Marisa. And we were like, what? Okay, cool. So we took him there. And then right before we got there, Una tormenta. Like, it was crazy.

[Josh]

I don't think I've ever been inhaled that aggressive. Aggressive, bro. I was sitting in the front, so I just saw all the chunks of ice, like, hitting the. The windshield and I was like, yo, this is crazy.

[Sevas]

I can never have a nice car over there yet. How can you? Yeah, it's all up.

[Josh]

So it's like pretty common that it hails like that, bro. I feel like I've heard people be like, hells were like, they're huge, dude.

[Sevas]

I've seen hell like that. Yeah, they're huge. Where my mom's from in Jalisco. You know, ever since I got with. As a kid, it. It always hells like that. It's like Mexico has this like, really tropical kind of weather.

[Josh]

Well, Mexico City is literally in the middle.

[Sevas]

Right.

[Josh]

So it's like very like rainforest. And they just build a city in that.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

So you're in the wilderness.

[Sevas]

Yeah, technically you are. Yeah.

[Josh]

Well, not wilderness.

[Sevas]

Yeah. So be a lake.

[Josh]

Mexico City.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Robert]

Used to be a lake.

[Josh]

What, and then it dried?

[Robert]

No, the colonizers like, drained it so that. Because it was the Aztecs who were living there.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Robert]

And they created like the Chinampas system, which were the, like the floating islands where they would farm. And it was like, you know, constantly just getting watered and it was such like, rich soil and the way that they were farming and stuff was just like, so ahead of time. Yeah. And. And the English didn't understand it and they thought that it was like bruharia or something. So they were like, this is not normal. So in. In order to also be able to control the population. Population, they drained the swamp. The. The. Not. I'm so sorry.

[Josh]

The lake.

[Robert]

Yeah, they drained the lake. And. And so they didn't have a way to produce food for themselves anymore. So then. But that's also why Mexico City is like, sinking. Because it's like on the lake bed and it's just. Yeah.

[Josh]

So eventually in time, it will sink.

[Robert]

I. I would assume so. Once like, Mother Nature takes over and everything, it'll probably go back to being a lake.

[Josh]

Sorry, this is like, so off topic. And we'll go back to Mexico.

[Sevas]

No, no, no, no.

[Josh]

I'm not saying that. But I'm saying, like, things in the world that we have that.

[Robert]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Like. Like Venice and then even, like, to go as deep as, like, the sun. The sun is going to like, end. Dude, that's scary. I remember as a kid learning that and like, my teachers being like, you. You're going to be like so far gone. Like, you're not even. It won't even. But I'm like, that's still scary. People will experience that. The sun going out, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sevas]

I hope humanity by figures by that time. It's kind of like an interstellar, you know, I mean, the guy had a plan. Supposedly it wasn't really the plan, but in interstellar, you know, there was no more crops and, you know, there was like dust storms that would just kill everything. There's no more food, grain. So they were trying to figure out how to get out of Earth. So hopefully by then we can, you know, figure that out.

[Josh]

I mean, there's another option. There is no. It's either that or die.

[Sevas]

I think it's die because I don't think you can possibly take. How many people are on Earth?

[Josh]

Eight billion. I think we're at eight Bs.

[Sevas]

How can you move eight billion people to another planet? You can't.

[Josh]

Eight bees can't move, Abs.

[Sevas]

You can't. So eight bees, right? Yeah.

[Josh]

Wow, bro. 8.3 billion people. You know what's crazy about that number is, like, when you fly like across the country, there's so much open land. Right. But we're all just like. We all like, pick specific spots. So it's not. It's like 8 billion people, like, in specific areas. But there's so much like, land, obviously. I think it's just like uninhabitable. You really can't, like, live there. It's difficult.

[Sevas]

Like in like, some areas. Yeah, some places for sure. And other places is just more kind of like, oh, well, it's going to cost a billion dollars to put a water infrastructure here with electricity and tubing and to have cities run, you know, dams, you know.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

Back in the day. Shoot. Just set up camp and figure it out, you know, but it doesn't. Wait, it doesn't work that way. But yes, we go to M. Pachava and if you haven't visited Mikompa Chava, it's to me like top five restaurants in Mexico City. The vibe is insane. The food is great. The drinks are tasty.

[Josh]

The lines are long.

[Sevas]

And the lines are long. Yeah, because it's so good there. And it was packed. But I would definitely try to go like around two. We went like around six.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

But yeah, that's it. And then we just bar hop Mexico. I mean, Mexico City is just this place where you can just walk around and get lost, literally. And anywhere you go is going to be money. Yeah, anywhere. From the vintage shopping to the restaurants to the local dive bars. Mexico City has everything to offer from the street tacos on the corner to the churros on the other side of the block. I mean, it's just everything. Everything. And there's. There's just magic to the city. And I feel like the people in Mexico City also have this magic to them as well.

[Josh]

You know, I.

[Sevas]

So charming.

[Josh]

I agree. I agree. I remember, like, growing up and hearing about Mexico City and thinking, like, how cool it sounded. Right. And then as I got older, I would hear even more about it, because I think it just became more of a. Like, a hub.

[Robert]

Right.

[Josh]

Food culture there. It just kind of grew. And I. I didn't go till I was like, like, yeah, two years ago, bro.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

And now I go almost like every other.

[Sevas]

You've been going pretty.

[Josh]

I've been going frequently.

[Sevas]

I think for me, it's just like, the third time I go. And it's so nice, man.

[Josh]

Bro, it's. Yeah.

[Sevas]

And I was just telling Karen the other day, and I'm like, she. She told me. She goes, it's crazy how we. We've barely scratched the surface on doing stuff.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

And it's one of the most populated. I think it's, like, top five biggest. Biggest population as a city in the world, bro.

[Josh]

I could live there. That's like, a place that I could live.

[Sevas]

Nice little apartment.

[Josh]

I'd rather do that than New York.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

That'd be sick.

[Sevas]

New York would be sick, too. But, yeah, Mexico City is just more my vibe.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

It's more me.

[Josh]

I wish I could live in Mexico,

[Sevas]

and it's so diverse.

[Josh]

Yeah. I wish I could do, like, a month in, like, different areas of the world, which I can, you know, but it's just a lot. I'd have to, like, figure that out. But, like, a month in Mexico City, A month in New York.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

A month in a month. A month in Espana.

[Sevas]

You could. I mean, I always tell people, like, if it wasn't for me, having my family here, having my culture here, work. My whole life is here. Right. Family. Did I say that already? I would. If I didn't have any of that, I would move to Tokyo. I love it.

[Josh]

A month in Tokyo.

[Sevas]

It's another city that has this magic in the air. It's great.

[Josh]

I. That's on my bucket list for sure.

[Sevas]

You haven't gone, huh?

[Josh]

I never been.

[Sevas]

Oh, man.

[Josh]

So it's Sunday. It's game day.

[Robert]

Yes. Okay.

[Josh]

We wake up. The boys wake up around eight. Text, group chat. Mimosas.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

While the girls get ready, the men do mimosas.

[Sevas]

Yeah, of course we did mimosas. We Go downstairs. I'll say where we stayed at. We stayed at this really. And I love it. And the only reason why I'm going to tell you cuz I really like this restaurant. Yeah, it's a vibe hotel. It's really calm, very nice, modern, good rooms. It's called Bolga. It's really like a street adjacent to the main street.

[Josh]

I wouldn't say it's a boutique hotel though.

[Sevas]

No, it like gives boutique, but it's not. Yeah, but it is. But it's not. But I, I love it. The room is always nice and spacious. The.

[Josh]

The service.

[Sevas]

The service is great and it's just so nice. It's easy.

[Josh]

It's easy.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

It's clean. Yeah, it's beautiful.

[Sevas]

It's a beautiful. It's called Volga Bears and Baca V O L G A Volga. Yeah. And it's. It's not too expensive. It's not like when you go to the Four Seasons or the. The Marriott of the Ritz, which are also great hotels, but Volga has character. So we wake up, we have breakfast and it's mimosa time. And it. Why not? We took some shots as well. Everybody around us was like soccer vibes to the tea. The people next to us were about to go to the Reforma and go celebrate. Everybody, the people there, everybody has the Mexico jersey on and that's all everybody was talking about. You can, you can feel the energy. And honestly it's like, it's just so. It's just everybody that day, from the moment you woke up, had nothing else to think about other than today's match against England. And Mexico was just happy, you know, it's such a beautiful thing because like what football can bring, football can bring to humans, especially when it's World cup because everyone's so into it. But it's also like that when it's just regular games too. It's just you, you don't know cuz they're not as popular as the World Cup. But what football brings too, it's just kind of like it stops time, it stops your stress, it stops your problems for a second, you know? And it just kind of heals you, bro.

[Josh]

For that day, all I thought about was the game. All I thought about was Mexico winning. All I thought about was like what that is gonna feel like. How the city is gonna explode after they win. Like that's all I could think about all day. Yeah, it was kind of like, like,

[Sevas]

you're right, it was like, like, like nothing else matters.

[Josh]

Nothing else in the world. Matters.

[Sevas]

It doesn't matter if you know, you didn't do something that you're stressing out about. You told yourself, hey, today is dedicated for only one thing and one thing only. And it was just so nice to just kind of like relax in a weird way. Yeah, but at the same time stress, but relax. And we, we finally all get ready and it was beautiful. All the girls and all the guys, we went back to the bar and we took a shot and we're just so excited to go. Our driver, I got this driver because I was like, there's no way I'm going to be ubering it everywhere. I'd rather just have somebody for us. So smart to just kind of like wait for us all the time, by the way. Wait for us all the time. He knows the city, he knows what to do. Yeah, it was, I think that was like the only reason why we had even much more of a greater time. He was with us at dinner and stuff like that great guy, Shout out David. And so we just left. And by the moment we walked outside the hotel, I kid you not, everything was closed. Everything. Some stores were closed because they were like this, I'm going to the game. But most importantly, all the streets were closed and there was already thousands of people on the street. Independencia right there forma.

[Josh]

And this is seven to eight hours before the game even started.

[Sevas]

I'm talking cracking. I mean people were already, they were already throwing them up. Luchador mask galore. People were dressed in like Aztec inspired outfits. People were painted. If you guys don't know this, Mexico City is also like one of the biggest dog towns in the world. So there's dogs everywhere. And I'm not talking about like, I mean there's like feed license and if you know what I'm talking about. When it's a fetalize like that super street dog, you know that you don't know what the kind of breed he is. He's just a dog that's a feist. No, I'm talking like feces and I'm talking about like high end dogs people have there. It's crazy to see a Pomeranian in Mexico City. It's crazy to see a Great Dane in Mexico City and very well taken care of. Remember that big ass Great Dane we saw?

[Josh]

Yeah, that bar.

[Sevas]

And he barked at Robert like it was just such a cool experience. And the driver was like, do you guys want to like walk? You know, it was packed but you can still walk through it. It's not like what you saw like on. On social media, you know, that's like

[Josh]

at night, that's like when the game's

[Sevas]

on, that's like a million people are there, you know, and like on every block they had a Jumbotron. And it's just so cool how they did that for the people, you know, Like, I don't.

[Josh]

It was like high level production. It's not like some little TVs they

[Sevas]

put up no high level. Like if you're going to like those huge concerts where they just have Jumbotrons.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

And I kid you not, like, you would think here in LA or here in the United States, they have money to be doing that. When have I ever seen the Lakers organization or Los Angeles closed down Figueroa street or more and throw like six jumbotrons in for free for the people can see. I've never seen that.

[Josh]

No, I've never seen that.

[Sevas]

But the fact that they did that here in LA and Reforma and they did that for. I was like, wow, good job, guys. And not just some chirafa, cheap, you know, some pirateria. This was nice. It's just like, wow, they did that for the people. That's so freaking cool. I don't see anybody else doing it. And there are some places that I see like Universal Studios does the jumbotron. I see it. That was really cool.

[Josh]

Oh, that's.

[Sevas]

But I'm sure that's coming out of Universal Studios money. Yeah, right. This is coming from the city's money. Who else is paying for. I mean, maybe. I don't know, but it was really nice to see that. I'm not talking about two, three. I'm talking about like ten freaking Jumbo.

[Josh]

That was just in our area that

[Sevas]

we were in our area. We didn't go the other side. It was just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. People were selling stuff. I bought the. The Patito Medline that had a giveaway.

[Josh]

Interesting.

[Sevas]

We got spuma. You got the. The necktag with the paint.

[Josh]

Didn't last, though.

[Sevas]

Didn't last because then it started raining, you know, but with the rain, it was like a vibe. Yeah. And then quick story, but so we get into. We finally get into the Suburban and we're about to head to the game. But obviously we need some drinks, you know, because the guy warned us. He was like, yo, it's gonna be like 45 minutes to an hour. So much traffic, you know, regardless of the game. That's just how long it takes to get to the Azteca from where we'. Okay, cool. You know, and all Those were closed. I don't know why you would think those would be open. So he takes it to this mom and pop liquor store. We walk in. Cool. I'll grab a bunch of, like, a 16 pack or a 12 pack of beer, and I'll get whatever the girls want. We'll get some waters, you know, blah, blah. So we walk in the guy, and we finally find one. We finally find a liquor store. Like I said, it's a mom and pops one. And I go. And I open the fridge to grab some beer, and it's not locked. It's not.

[Josh]

It's black.

[Sevas]

It's black taped up. Like, all the Modelos, all the cerveza Indias. I remember the Victorias. I was looking. I was like, oh, perfect. I open up like this, and, like, it was black taped up.

[Josh]

Like duct tape.

[Sevas]

Yeah. And I'm like, hey, capello. Like, like, oh. I said, oh, maybe they're just display. I was like. And the guy goes, oh, yes, Le Seca. And I'm like, what? What? Le Seca is in like, oh, I don't know why, but they.

[Josh]

They don't serve alcohol on Sundays.

[Sevas]

On Sundays. Or, like, maybe a certain time or there's specific stores that do. I don't know.

[Josh]

I don't know.

[Sevas]

I've heard about it. I've been through that. Like, in Guadalajara. But I don't know necessarily, like, the. Like to the T. Why it was Lay Seca at his store.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

So I was like, yeah, it was

[Josh]

kind of odd, especially, like, it being, like, such a big day.

[Sevas]

Like, what? So. So I look at him straight in the eyes and I go, look, man, I finally found you. Don't with me. How are you not gonna sell me beer when I'm on my way to the Azteca, bro? I need beer. And I was like, okay, you're making me do this. I don't want to do this, but you're making me do this. So I pull out watts of dollars. Watts. Watts. Like, in the rubber band and my headband. Actually, I don't do rubber. I do, like, the headband, the soft ones. I'm like, look, man, I'm gonna give you a hundred dollars. He goes, no, no, no, no, no. Come on, Chris. Blah, blah, blah. I was like, no queue. He goes, no, no, you're not accepted. He was, like, being nice.

[Josh]

Oh, I didn't know that he was

[Sevas]

being nice, but still, like, following the law, which I respect. And I was like. But he also said, like, as an excuse. He wasn't being a Dick. He was being really nice. He goes, I'm like, you're making me do this, not me. Remember that. You're making me do this. I was like, okay, I have pesos. So I take out even fatter watts of pesos because I have more pesos than dollars at this point. So I take out 4 or 500 pesos. So it's like those meal pesos, I need this beer. And he looks at me, goes, this. And then I think it's his son or his something like it's a younger kid. And he looks at him and he goes, hey, I don't know. We're gonna call him Sultano. Hey, Sutano. Yeah. And he brings a little box that perfectly fit 12 beers, you know, he was quite as scared as I was. Like, I don't know. Just give me whatever those Modelo, because they had a really nice model.

[Josh]

He had to do it himself, though, huh?

[Sevas]

Yeah, they had a really nice Modelo tall boy that had, like, the Mexican jersey on it, you know, I think I put a picture on stories or.

[Robert]

And.

[Sevas]

And I was like, just give me those. They look cool. And he perfectly put them on there. And he goes. And I'm like, right now, really, like, out of all times, what are the chances, right? So I grabbed my cerveza, and I don't know if you saw it, but, like, that same box is actually on one of my videos that I just posted. I was dancing with it. While I was like a bunch of espuma, I'm holding a little box that was my box of chellas. Nobody knows. I was just holding a little box, you know? So tell me why I'm holding the box and I'm on the other side by the papitas, and a cop walks in, bro. Straight up. A cop, bro. And it looks. And it wasn't like a cop.

[Josh]

It was like an undercover cop.

[Sevas]

It wasn't like a cop that, like, those foods are, like, in their uniform. Uniform. They're the ones that say, like, federales. It's not one of those clubs. It looks like it's a cop that just patrols the city. He's a cop. You see that box? That's my box of chicken, a box of electrolyte, whatever. So if people want to know, why the fuck does he have a box? There's beers in there, bro. Clearly, now that you see it, we succeeded with the beer, right?

[Josh]

By the way, the reason he's so full of spuma is because our friend Robert decided to fucking nuke him with. Yeah, just to be an asshole.

[Sevas]

And there's my. There's my Tito Meline. And you got.

[Josh]

You almost got pink eye off that, bro.

[Sevas]

Yeah, bro, my vision was like 75% when I was watching the game. Oh, yeah.

[Josh]

It was all in his eyes.

[Sevas]

It was all. You see how it was right here on my right eye. It didn't. It didn't burn initially, but later on when I wiped it, I was like, oh, my. It's like. It's like I was inside a pool, you know? This is me. And I opened my eyes for like two minutes. You know, like when you're kind of hazy.

[Josh]

Bro, what is puma? Is it. Is it.

[Sevas]

I think it should. It's just like shaving cream. No, I think it kind of is like some sort of shaving cream. No, because it tasted like shaving cream. Not that it tastes shaving cream, but I have.

[Josh]

It actually did wonders to your hair, by the way.

[Sevas]

Yeah, it was a nice little mousse. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think it's just like soap shaving cream. I don't know. But I think just the difference is that the spray is just like more pressure. So. Spray. Sprays. But anyways, going back to the story, so I see the cop and I got him. Oh, my God. I gotta think quick, because not only am I gonna be maybe into some or he's just not gonna sell it to me, but either two things are going to happen. I'm going to get homeboy in trouble and I'm going to feel bad, and I don't want that. And B, regardless, I'm not going to get my beer. So I'm double fudged.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

So I immediately saw him and I got the box and I just placed it somewhere else. And I was like, this is the smartest thing I can do. Just put the box away. Because the cops are stupid.

[Josh]

You don't know what's in the box either.

[Sevas]

He doesn't, but he's not stupid. Yeah, he does it himself, too. Or he knows people do that. He knows owners also do that and get bribed. Like, I just bribed the guy, which would be so illegal here in the United States. Therefore, that's why there's no vibes here, because you can't get bribed. Bribing is cool. So I set the beers to the side of the box. And, yeah, I just pay for everything that we have. But I'm talking. It was just like sodas. It was like papitas. It was like water. You know, I made it seem like that. And the cop goes right next to me, bro. And I was like, it. I'm gonna just buy his. So I look at him, and he looks at me, and mind you, the box is right in back of him. Right in back of him with the 12 pack. And it's like, lay second. Like, he. I'm assuming he can lose his license or he gets a big fine, the guy. And so I pay for everything. I look at the guy and I'm like, jefe, I'll buy him for you. Like, I got you. And he looks at me and goes. I'm like, no, Mexico. Mexico is gonna play. I'm in a good mood. Like, you're a police officer. Like, I with you. Like. And he was, like, super down. He was, all right. Yeah, straight up all right. Yes. Obviously, me being a nice guy, why wouldn't I buy him the stuff? Right? But at the same time, I'm only doing it so you can get the fuck out of here. No, so you get the out of here, you know? So he gets his stuff and he's out. And so then I paid for the stuff.

[Josh]

Did the guy say anything to you when you did that?

[Sevas]

He didn't say anything like that. He didn't say anything crazy, but he was just kind of like, good shit. Good shit. Yeah, like, tight, you know? And I'm like, hey, man, that's not my first rodeo, bro. I'm a super sick briber. And so. So, yeah, I paid for everything. And then at the end, finally, I look back because thank God, the Suburban was right in front. Like, he parked right in front of the store. So I look, okay, cop's gone. Grab the cajita, Give that fool the feria. And then I'm like, okay. He goes, no, no. I was like, okay, late. Go immediately to Suburban. Got our beers, put him in the car. That's it. Mission. Mission complete. Mission complete. Yeah, so it was. It was really cool. And then after that, I was like, oh.

[Josh]

And that's how we got.

[Sevas]

And that's how we got our box of cheddar, bro. So that was really cool. And then after that, man, we just walked and it was really cool. Just arriving to the Azteca. Me only seen it, like, through the airplane, like, one time when I went. I've only seen it like that or, like, from afar. But when you get there, it's just. You just feel the atmosphere, man.

[Josh]

It's huge.

[Sevas]

And can I say, it wasn't that difficult to get in.

[Josh]

Honestly, bro, like, zero difficulty.

[Sevas]

Yes. We had a driver, and it was like, Kind of easy. Yeah. But it wasn't like we like, even though when you go to Dodger Stadium. So it's a. To get up there. Yeah. And even depends, like, if you park something when it's super full. They even like, you have to park all the way to the top of the little hills and stuff and then walk down. Yeah, I probably walk less than that. And maybe we didn't feel it either because we just went over a puente and everyone's dancing. There's things to see, people are selling stuff.

[Josh]

There's a bunch of people.

[Sevas]

It's like. It's like almost. I wish that the walk was longer so I can enjoy more of that vibe.

[Josh]

Yeah, it was pretty easy.

[Sevas]

It was so epic. It was so epic. It was so epic seeing our people just so fired up. Fired up and full. Full of joy, you know, that fired me up. And you know, there's everybody making bolitas and just dancing la. Everybody had instruments. It was just so, so freaking cool. We finally go inside, man. It's just like the atmosphere was just lit. It's just like, you just know that today is going to be a historic day.

[Josh]

I really enjoy talking to, like, the English fans that were there. Literally, like the fact that they flew in from England to Mexico City and we're so open and receptive to like, the culture and trying things and just being immersed in Mexico City. I feel like every English person we talked to, they were like, in love with the city and were down to like, be immersed in it. And I think that says a lot because some people are a little more like. You know what I mean? But they were like, all in. I remember we met this group of, like, English people and they were selling esquites and we were like, telling them what it was and you could tell they were like, what the. Like, this doesn't make. It was weird to them, but they were so, like, receptive towards it and they, like, ended up, like, loving it. So it was just really cool to see, like, people like that.

[Robert]

Yeah.

[Josh]

We didn't know, but the seats that we actually had were in the friends and family of the English. Yeah. So we were like, surrounded by English fans and we were like dead center of where they were all sitting, which was really cool. And I actually enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.

[Sevas]

Me too. Yeah.

[Josh]

Even though I really wish we would have been around like, other more Mexican. Mexican fans.

[Sevas]

Yeah, me too. But.

[Josh]

But it was cool.

[Sevas]

It made it. Yeah, it made it more special for us because. Because, you know, when they Were scoreboard versus them.

[Josh]

Our section didn't.

[Sevas]

I know.

[Josh]

It was, like, kind of quiet. You would only hear the rumblings around, like, in front of you and stuff.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

But we were at. It was a little, like, weird.

[Sevas]

Trust me. Every time we would do something good or even score. And our seats were so cool. And honestly, the best seats ever. Honestly, it's not that we were front row.

[Josh]

If I could buy those seats every single time.

[Sevas]

Yeah. Go to the same.

[Josh]

I do it.

[Sevas]

So what happens when you go sit at a stadium? Right. You're next to people, you're in front of people, and you're in back of people. Right. So with these seats, what was in front of us was a huge walkway for anybody.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

To go to the tunnels, to go to the bathroom, to get a drink. There was that. It was a walkway for the vendors, and it was huge. It wasn't, like a small tunnel. So anything that we would want or anything that we would go get is. Was such easy access. We'd have to ask anybody to move. We'd have to be those people to, like, be annoying and keep telling people, hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Hey, I'm gonna go to drink. So the whole time, especially, like in the beginning, right before the game even started, we were at our seats. We would go to the bar. We'd go get something. We'd go. And we just do it like that. Yeah. Because the seats were phenomenal.

[Josh]

Easy access.

[Sevas]

Whenever we wanted to, we would just jump over the rails and have the whole hallway to us or the. The whole pass. The passway to ourselves and just dance. And it was just so sick, bro.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

We were really lucky. You know, I think, to be honest, any scene in that stadium is epic, but the fact that you have nobody in front of you where we were sitting at was just amazing. And honestly, they just enhanced our experience.

[Josh]

Somebody, or actually Robert, was telling us that Mexico had played London a total of 10 times prior to this last game. 7 out of the 10 times England has beat Mexico, the three times that they've lost to Mexico was at the Azteca, bro. When I found out that, I was like, there's no fucking way we are losing this game. There's no fucking way.

[Sevas]

We did. We did lose, but we put up a hell of a fight. And that's, to me, like, that's all that matters.

[Robert]

You're skipping over the most important part, though, like when you ended up on tv.

[Josh]

Yes. So because of the area that we were at, that gigantic walk walkway, obviously telemundo what was the.

[Sevas]

Who was it?

[Josh]

Fox Sports? Yeah.

[Sevas]

But I even heard, like, cnn, BBC, BBC.

[Robert]

I think they were streaming the same footage because I was watching on my phone on Telemundo, and the place I was at had, like, FOX on the tv, and it was the same. It was just a little bit delayed, but it was the same footage.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Oh, same broadcast.

[Sevas]

Yeah, because.

[Josh]

And it was pretty obvious that that guy was from tv. Like, his setup and everything.

[Sevas]

He had the crazy camera.

[Josh]

He had the crazy camera. The big gigantic ring light in front of the camera. And I think we pointed out right away, we're like, that's on. That's going to be streaming.

[Sevas]

Yeah. I mean, I personally didn't think that. I don't know. We've been to so many games, so many. Like that. Yeah, it's like, I see those foods all the time. And, like, whether they're filming you right now, to be on the Jumbotron immediately, that's. That's fine. But, like, even if they. They're filming you, you don't know if you're gonna be on TV or not.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

You know, and I saw him, but, like, I didn't really, like, pay attention. Yeah.

[Josh]

Because it's like his camera was like. It's really big. You can, like, miss him. Right? Like, he's right there and he, like, you can tell he was, like, trying to get a moment with us because he. Dude, he was there for, like, 20 minutes.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

And it's kind of crazy because out of the 20 minutes, it's like a split second that is like showcase and it's slow mode and everything.

[Sevas]

I know, bro.

[Josh]

As soon as Sebas got featured on tv, our phones were blowing up. It was like, immediate. Immediate. And that's how we found out. We're like, oh, shit, we were on tv.

[Sevas]

Yeah. And, like, at first, we're in the moment. We don't even. We don't even know nor care if we're on TV or not. But like I said, we've been to games before where it's like a Dodger game or, you know, whatever football game. And like, my mom's like, oh, yeah. When I actually see it, we're just one in a thousand people. Or we're just one. Like, oh, we barely. Oh, I kind of see you, you know. Oh, that's cool. You know, so. Well, first of all, like, one of the first clips, it was all of us.

[Robert]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

Like, I was in the front, but it was me, Josh, Robert, some of the girls you can see. And we're just celebrating, you know, I don't know what happened, or I think it was like a blog. But, you know, we were just happy that Mexico was attacking. So they caught that on. On. On. On. On camera. But when it. When it actually happened, Karen goes like this to me. She goes, hey, I'm getting, like, blown up. And people are saying that. That they saw you or saw us, you know, And I was like, oh, okay, cool. That's cool. You know, that's fine. Been on TV, been on YouTube. But when she saw that, I was kind of interested, you know, I was like, oh, maybe someone sent a video on Instagram or my family sent me, because who's not watching the game? Yeah, I was like, oh, we're on this. Yeah, we are on, on. You know, and by the way, I

[Josh]

think we looked it up, and they said there was around 30 million viewers on that game.

[Sevas]

Yeah, it was one of the most viewed games.

[Josh]

One of the most viewed games. So there's huge chance that you were seen by 30 million people, bro. You were the most famous man on the planet at one point, for a split moment in time. You were the most famous man on the planet for, like, a little millisecond. Bro.

[Sevas]

Bro, you have no idea, because first it was us, right? We're cheering.

[Josh]

We're. We're.

[Sevas]

We're cheering on. It was us, Right? And I think you have the video. Yeah, the replay. So. So that's us. That's all of us. I. I'm in the front, but that's all of us. Look, I see you. I see Robert.

[Josh]

I hopped off. See you.

[Robert]

I see Morelia.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

Oh, there's Josh. Yeah, Josh is right there. Robert's right there, and I'm right there. I'm just the one that looks like Jesus Christ. So it's like, you know, so. So I was like, okay, that's cool. Right? And then I started getting even more messages. Like, bro, you keep coming out. I'm like, of where?

[Josh]

Been out.

[Sevas]

Been out. Hi. I was like, what? That's crazy. And then I see more videos of me coming out, and there was, like, this one specific one where it's just me by myself, and, like, the camera's going upward like that, and I'm just like this. And then my whole family, every mom, my friends, bro, like, who doesn't even have social media, he text me, and he was like,

[Josh]

oh, that shot right there. Yeah.

[Sevas]

And, bro, can I tell you something? Like. Like, bro, how epic is that shot? Insane about wet. Look at the passion. And, like, I Don't even think you saw me, Josh. But there was this one moment when

[Josh]

I read a tick tock that somebody posted.

[Robert]

Yeah, this is somebody. Somebody.

[Sevas]

Yeah, yeah. I didn't tell you, or maybe you didn't see me, but I was there for a moment because I didn't even sit down that whole game at all. We did it.

[Josh]

No, we got asked to, but I sat down.

[Sevas]

Yeah, but I sat down and I was looking at my shit. Just kind of like reading everything and seeing what my mom was saying, you know, And I was kind of literally. And then Karen's. Karen looks at me, she goes, are you okay? And I kid you not, once she said, are you okay? I already saw that, that single one when she said, are you okay? I don't know what, what, what chord that hit, but I started tearing up and I think I just started tearing up because I was having such a good time. And like, how cool is it that that just happened to me?

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sevas]

And how cool is it that, like, all my friends and family are like, I guess, proud of me for I didn't do anything, but you know what I mean? Like, they're looking at me like I did. Just did the coolest thing in the world. So I'm just kind of like. I started tearing up. I'm like, wow, how. What a special moment for. For me and my friends and for me in general, for. For just like standing out like that. And it was just a beautiful thing that that was happening. And at the same time, I'm like, oh, my God, I gotta concentrate on this. Like, how cool is that? And. And the game? And we're down, three, two. And it's just like. It was a lot of emotions and I was just like, no, I'm just, like, I told my wife, I was just really. I think I just said, like, I'm just really happy, you know, and just like, just such a beautiful thing that was going on at that moment. And I love the shots that they took of me too. I was like, oh, that's a good angle of me too. I was like, good job, cameraman. And then there was another one too, where we looked a little sad. And then I keep telling everybody, my mom, she said, And I'm like, wouldn't you. Wouldn't you, mom? I mean, the aura speaks for itself, you know? No, but all jokes aside, I just think me, Josh, Robert, we were just a speck of green. And like Josh said, we were a speck of green amongst a huge canvas of white.

[Josh]

That's true.

[Sevas]

And we were showing so much passion.

[Josh]

We.

[Sevas]

We got good seeds. I think that helped too. And honestly, just the right time at the. The right place at the right time. But I mean, I do believe in like, aura, and we had aura, or else why would he not pick a sad shot?

[Josh]

There was a shot that we looked.

[Sevas]

There was a there. I think it was that one. Yeah, See, look, there's a nose, but

[Robert]

it just kind of keeps going. I think it has like.

[Josh]

And it comes back.

[Sevas]

Yeah, there's. There's another shot where we're like this. Like this. No, it wasn't that one. It was another one. It was three. It was for sure three. I don't know if there was more, but there was for sure 3. There was another one where we look a little sad, like kind of like stressed out. But my mom said, like, out of 80,000 plus people, it's crazy that they chose you, you know?

[Josh]

And I'm like, yeah, bro, that stadium is so iconic. And it makes sense, bro, because I've always heard about it, you know, but like, like I said, being there, you can't even put it into words. You can't. It doesn't. You gotta like, it's almost. What's that thing people say? Like, you had to be there. How to be the only way you can feel that.

[Sevas]

And I just hope it before I pass away that it goes back to Mexico.

[Josh]

Well, they said 2038.

[Sevas]

I saw that. But I don't believe shit until it's actually official, you know?

[Josh]

2038, though, even if that is just a long time away, bro. 12 years.

[Sevas]

It is. Until I go up to you one day and I said, can you believe it's 2038 already?

[Josh]

I know, I know.

[Sevas]

And then we both finally came out and we're together, bro.

[Josh]

That, that, that doesn't. It just sound like. Like it doesn't exist. 20, like 30. 2038 just sounds so like, yeah, crazy

[Sevas]

time goes by somewhat slow, but it doesn't. Yeah, I mean, 2020, it was just covet. And it's just like, damn. Remember Covid?

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

20, 26 years ago, you know, we thought that that wasn't going to be over. And it's just like, time is crazy, bro. That's why. Try not to worry about time too much. Just try to worry about being in the moment.

[Josh]

It's just crazy when you plan for things and you're looking forward to things for like such a long period of time and then they just happen. Then they're like a thing of the past. And that's it like. And they happen so fast, bro.

[Sevas]

So fast. So fast.

[Josh]

Almost. The anticipation is like, last longer than the actual experience. Than the actual.

[Sevas]

Yeah, yeah. 100.

[Josh]

Where you're like, oh, my God, I'm gonna go wherever I have this thing to do.

[Robert]

That's how I felt last year when going to Puerto Rico to see my money.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Robert]

Like, leading up to it, it was so exciting.

[Josh]

Yeah. But I still have two months or

[Robert]

whatever there, and it was amazing. And afterwards I was like, okay, well that's it.

[Josh]

Now you got to plan the next thing.

[Sevas]

Yeah, exactly.

[Josh]

He's still touring, right? Like, he's still doing shows like a year ago.

[Sevas]

Right.

[Josh]

He doesn't stop. That man works.

[Robert]

Works.

[Josh]

Which is like super impressive. Like, especially somebody at like that status and stature, like, just going for it, bro. That's really cool. That's like seizing the opportunity that you, like, got.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Handed.

[Sevas]

But yeah, I mean, being on TV and just like, obviously we lost, but I mean, nothing will ever take away the fact that we fought for that game. And, and, and, and hats off to England for performing like that, having 10 men and still beating us, you know, it was just a great game, what a great experience. I would. It was worth every single cent. And I can't wait to live through that again, especially with, with my, with my friends who I love so much. But yeah, it was great.

[Josh]

I mean, I will say, like, obviously I'm. I was so sad after Mexico lost, bro, because I. We had put so much. I saw a TikTok and I think I brought this up earlier. Like, it was like we got love bombed. Like, there was so much I believed, bro. I believed and I still believe in the team, but it was just like, I thought we were going all the way.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I thought, this is it there. We're about to experience something that has never been seen before. So Toulouse was like, very, very, like, heartbreaking. But what a ride, man. What, like, what a ride from like, you know, from the group stages, just all of that, like the lead up for it, the collaboration that we did with Salute, like everything, dude, I was so emotionally invested, like, more than I ever have been in any sporting event. So, like, that heartbreak, like, that loss, like, felt like a heartbreak.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Like that night I was like, sad.

[Sevas]

I've. I've never sad. I've. You know, I've been a football fan for such a long time. And when I say football, don't think I'm saying like the, this pointy ball American. I'm talking about real football. Football, soccer. I'VE been such a fan for such a long time. And just being at the World cup, it was kind of like a childhood dream of mine. And yeah, just like you said, Josh, I've never experienced such a heartbreak. But at the same time, I only experienced such a heartbreak because leading up to it and even before, I've experienced so much love for our country. And that's why, you know, the heartbreak was that much bigger. And I even saw you, Jess, you're getting teary eyed and you're crying, and it's just like, I felt that too, you know, I felt that. And it's just like, that's why the World cup is beautiful. And you know what? I'm so freaking excited. And I'm so happy as well, because I've been talking about the World cup with my wife since the last World cup ended. And I said, you know what? This World Cup, I want to be more special. I want to be more involved. Involved with you. And, man, she is loving the games. She is loving the whole energy. She is loving participating in whatever it is that the World cup is bringing. And it just makes me so happy that she knows so much more about the sport.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

And about the players and this. And it actually excites her and me being her husband, to see her actually be involved in something that I know is new to her because I've known her for so long. It's cool, man. So the World cup, the World cup has just brought so much good things.

[Josh]

I know, I know. It really has. Going back to, like, Mexico losing, I saw this one comment where this girl was like. I felt like Mexico losing was like the life of the party leaving early.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Because, like, the World Cup, I'm so excited to watch it. Right. Like, to your point, like, it's still very exciting, but I'm like, damn, Mexico's out. I'm just like, like, you know, I'm just watching. Like, this is. This is really cool.

[Sevas]

And imagine if you're not. And like, bro, I can't imagine, like, not being Mexican. And like, maybe people back at home can relate, but, like, if you're not Mexican, you know, you're going to a Mexican watch party and you're so excited.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

You're probably more excited than like any other watch party.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

You know, it's gonna be crazy lit. I mean, even, like, don't you think, like, even thinking back right now, like, all these memories that you've done, bro, you have done so much like us, everybody. But even, like speaking just to you, Josh, you have done so much involving the World Cup. Look at all these memories that you've done already, you know, and say with me, I just remember I was in Puerto Vallarta, you know, watching South Korea play with my family and then.

[Josh]

That's right.

[Sevas]

You know, having a watch party and this and that and just these, these things leading up to it, you know, it's just such a cool thing that it brings.

[Josh]

Yeah, I, I felt like maybe it's just me, but. Because I was just more emotionally invested this time around. But this just felt bigger than any World Cup I've been a part of or like I've experienced in my lifetime,

[Sevas]

especially us being the host.

[Josh]

Yeah. And I think. Yeah, you're right, you're right.

[Sevas]

Yeah, you're right.

[Josh]

No, but like, imagine how that feel next.

[Sevas]

Well, I don't know, but it could 100 and you know what the same level be there. But the experience is just going to change a bit, you know. And honestly, I think the next World cup is in Portugal. Morocco. Morocco. Spain and Spain. Right. So imagine us being out there.

[Josh]

That would be crazy.

[Sevas]

We'll just be out there for like, I don't know, we'll just follow Mexico.

[Josh]

Yeah. Because a lot of people when they were traveling for the World Cup, I feel like they would be out there for like a month.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Like people are there throughout the whole time.

[Sevas]

Yeah.

[Josh]

So it'd be really cool to be out there for like two weeks.

[Sevas]

And it's really cool how like people that would go to Mexico, because normally you would go follow your team, leave the next day.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

These people would just get there a couple days before and be there a couple days after because they wanted a vacation in Mexico. So it felt good to know that people were just like with our, our country so much, you know, and when I say our country, it's like the homeland, the country that we raised and our, our grandparents were in, our family was in. I don't know, maybe you're born there as well, but obviously the US is cool as too.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

Let's not forget that, you know.

[Robert]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

So it's really cool. It's. It's amazing. There's this video that tripped me the out. My cousin has a small restaurant and not small, it's pretty big, but in a small town. And they were all watching the game there. All my family was. Right. And they showed me the video, the security footage video of when they saw me on Televondo. And you can just see kind of the TV at a corner. You can see that scene When I'm like, it's all of us like this. And immediately all of my family goes like this. You can't hear the audio, but everyone's like this.

[Josh]

Oh, my God.

[Sevas]

And people are like. And my whole family was, like. The reaction was, like, so priceless, because I couldn't even imagine what. What went through their head.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

When they just saw their nephew and their cousin right there.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

And I'm. It just, like, baffled me.

[Josh]

Cousin. What?

[Sevas]

Well, because my.

[Josh]

Oh, got it.

[Sevas]

Because my aunts and my. My nephews. Yeah. Everybody was there, so it's just, like, baffled me. But, yeah. What an experience, bro.

[Josh]

It was. It's something I'll hold in my heart forever. I'll cherish. It was not only just the game, but the whole trip itself. Like. Like, we were there for, what, 42 hours? But every hour was so special. Being there and to experience it with friends, bro, it's just, like, such a blessing. There's still World cup games going on. If you have the privilege to go, like, try to go to a game.

[Sevas]

Yeah, it is. And a lot of people are like, oh, it's so expensive, and I don't want to sit at the top. Look, if that's maybe all you can afford, I still think it's worth it. I would. I'll sit anywhere, bro. Just to be there.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

Is worth it.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

It's so nice. It's so nice.

[Josh]

Agreed.

[Robert]

All the comments of everybody saying, I saw you on tv. I knew that was you, Sevas. I screamed like I knew you. My family.

[Sevas]

And that's another thing that thanks, actually, for reminding me is I'm telling you guys, the amount of dms and comments and messages that I got was insane. And it, you know, like, on. I've said this before, but you know how, like, on every game, they always show, like, a pretty girl.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

And, like, she's kind of the main character of the game.

[Josh]

Yes. Like the Portugal twins.

[Sevas]

Yeah. And there was another one that I forgot that, like, the cameraman in, like, the program, they know what they're doing. So, like, I felt like they picked me for that game.

[Josh]

The pretty girl.

[Sevas]

I was a pretty girl. I was like, oh, yeah. You know? But no, it's. What an experience. But I wanted to say before we end the. End the show. So I'm glad we talked about our Mexico experience. There's definitely more to talk about. But I wanted to thank everybody, too, because when I saw these messages, like, on the. My pictures, my reel, and stuff like that, and even the people that dm me, like, the amount of love that you guys in the sentences you guys would tell me, like, oh, my God, I knew that was you. I love that they picked you. I love that it was you guys. I. You know, they would tell me kind of like a backstory. Like, when I saw it, it was like. It was like my brother, my. My. My primo was there, and I was rooting for you guys. And even, like, to the point where people were telling me, like, thank you so much for representing, like, that passion and the Mexican team. And for me, I'm just like, me. I'm just being like, just me. Right. But, like, you never know, like, I guess how your actions and who you actually are as a human can translate to somebody else. So I was, like, really, like, proud of that. And the positive feedback that people were giving me from just seeing me. It was almost like seeing me and seeing us on Telemundo or Fox Sports, whatever, was representing the viewers from La Platica.

[Robert]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

You know, if you watch the show or not. But it was like we were there representing you, so that was really cool.

[Robert]

Thanks for that. That's so special.

[Sevas]

Yeah, it was really cool. And I was just, like. I was just literally. No, I'm telling you, I started crying. Yeah, I was a little pedal. But definitely it was very emotional. But, yeah, that was our experience. We lost. We went to go have caldo after. So random. I was kind of pedo. And then we all of a sudden are like, caldo spa.

[Josh]

And I'm like, who recommended it? And I was a little like. I mean, I guess. But it hit, bro. Yeah, it was so good.

[Sevas]

We were so hungry. I swear to God, I was, like, not blacking out, but, like, I was like, you know when you're just kind of drun. Like, the next day, your memory is just completely lost. But I remember getting to that spot, and I was like, okay, give me. See the menu. Like, it's almost like I went from, like, sleeping in the car to the restaurant. And when I got to the restaurant, I was like, I. I wake up and I start remembering things, and I'm like, cool. What's. What's the restaurant? Tacos a pastor or what? And I was like, caldo de poo. Caldo de poo. Compata, Calo. Something else. But they also had, like, moles. Enchiladas and mole. Huh.

[Josh]

I don't even know what I ate.

[Sevas]

Me neither. But, like, that caldo was the best. And it was, like, perfect enough to eat at that moment.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

You know, it Was like, so freaking good. Shout out to the homie, David. And that's it. We just went to sleep. You know, we didn't even party after. We were just so tired. And then we had an early flight the next day, and that's it. And then we sat even more. Oh, can I just say something real quick? I have nothing wrong. I have nothing bad to say about seats on the flight, but I will say this right now. There is one seat that I don't think anybody should experience.

[Josh]

They should just remove that seat.

[Sevas]

They should remove that seat.

[Josh]

I agree.

[Sevas]

You know, because I've told you about it.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

I experienced something that I've never experienced before. Okay. Sitting in the back, no big deal. Sit in the middle, no big deal. Sit in the front, no big deal. Before I end this episode, I gotta talk to you about something. We sat in the very, very back. As in last row. It was 31. That I remember. 31 row, 31, last row. I'm not tripping. Who cares? I'm gonna knock out. I watch a movie. I'm not tripping. Where I sit, right. I'm right in back of the fucking bathroom. Like, there's nothing in back of me. It's just a bathroom. And it kind of sucks because this is how much I can move my seat in the back. And it's funny because he was sitting in the bath in the back too. But you had space.

[Josh]

It was weird. My seat went.

[Sevas]

Yeah, I was in back of a bathroom. Right, Whatever. I don't care. I'm not complaining. I'm not one to complain. But what I will complain is don't sit on the last fucking row on the aisle side. Because what happens is after the cart lady, or after the.

[Robert]

The. The.

[Sevas]

The hero, Mosa drops off, drinks, chips, cookies, whatever it is, and everybody has their little drink and their cookies, and she comes back and that's it. Guess what people have to do after that?

[Robert]

Go to the bathroom.

[Sevas]

They have to take a piss and a shit. Cool. Whatever. Probably me too. So do I. But what you don't realize is if you're in the last row on the aisle, the middle seat is even better. But on the aisle, there's. So for two hours, I kid you not, the line was more than I

[Josh]

woke up and I, like, looked online. It took me like this to finish the whole line.

[Sevas]

I was like, dang, for more than two hours. I kid you not. There was a line to go to the bathroom, and once somebody left, another person walked in. And mind you, the aisle is not that Big. And for some reason, I had the most biggest dudes needing to take a piss. So what happens? It's really annoying. I don't mind people walking through. What I mind is people don't give a about your personal space. I'm right here, mind you. Bathroom's right here. I was right here. People are hitting me with their elbows. They're using the.

[Josh]

The.

[Sevas]

My front seat as like. Like, just to recline on. And I'm talking about, like, you can't see me, but, like, I'm not gonna stand up, but, like, they'll hang over. And I'm like this, like, kind of inconsiderate. And I'm like this, bro. And I'm like, they have their dicks in my face.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

I'm like, bro, back up. For two hours. I had in my face for two hours. And mind you, some of them would take a. And it would smell like. So imagine your face with the smell of for two hours, bro. The whole time I was looking at my wife like this, like, oh, my God, I'm really going through. You can't sleep because they're moving your seat. You got these nasty ass on me like this with their man titties in my face with their. I don't know what's worse. Having a in my face with their big ass pansas like this for two hours, bro.

[Josh]

That's crazy.

[Sevas]

Yeah. Other than that, that's it. Don't ever sit there.

[Josh]

Yeah. If you can avoid that seat.

[Sevas]

That's the worst, bro.

[Josh]

Yeah. I would look over and I feel bad for you.

[Sevas]

I'm like, is this just the seats and the vibes that I'm gonna get? Like, whatever, you know, like, whatever metal. I'm gonna be a stronger person after this. Now. I know.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

No matter what, I'll never sit here. But I was literally about to say, like. Should I say, like, hey, back the up.

[Josh]

But where are they gonna go, bro?

[Sevas]

That's what I'm saying. Exactly. It's like, where are they gonna go? Right? And like, if there's turbulence, I'm not gonna let them, like, just wiggle around. Like, they gotta hold on to something that's just to see. And that's why I didn't say anything, because I was like, this is just the vibe of the seat. This is the shittiest seat on the floor, on the plane.

[Josh]

They could remove those seats, bro.

[Sevas]

They can remove those seats. Remove them? Yeah, please. I'm gonna petition to remove those seeds because nobody should suffer like that. Nobody.

[Josh]

I agree.

[Sevas]

Especially my princess. Ass.

[Josh]

I was just on Telemundo, bro. Do you not recognize me, superstar?

[Sevas]

Oh my God. And speaking about that, remember we went to the restaurant the last night we had the Caldo restaurant.

[Josh]

Oh yeah.

[Sevas]

A kid. This is a real 15 years old Mexican kid. He doesn't know about the Platica or me or Josh or anybody. He doesn't know anybody. He goes up to me, he goes, hey, swear that. I swear to God.

[Josh]

I was like, I was like, even

[Sevas]

I was like, oh, that's kind of when it hit me, I'm like like yeah, you're right. I mean the whole world saw this game.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

And they saw me at a specific time and us where they replayed such an important almost goal.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sevas]

Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, that was la Platica episode 255. Congratulations guys on 255. Have a great Monday guys. Work out. We're announcing winners for the actual six week challenge very soon.

Yeah, they're going to come on La Platica. We're actually going to bring coach Andre as well. Kind of talk about the experience and I don't know, potentially educate you guys more on like fitness because I mean it don't stop, right? This fitness thing is a for everything.
