Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Evolution of La Platica & Personal Reflections

[01:40 - 03:47]

• The hosts reminisce about their journey – 254 episodes in, starting from uncertain beginnings ("I remember when I did the first episode by myself. Scared shitless." – Memo, 01:47).
• Bonding over memories, e.g., first photos on camera rolls, and objects with sentimental value (signed bat, movie memorabilia).

---

2. Movies, Pop Culture, and Personal Taste

[02:59 - 05:10]

• Light-hearted debates on Jennifer Lopez movies and other favorites ("Made in Manhattan. Made me horny." – Sal, 03:09).
• Discussion about how movies reflect reality and perceptions around crime and personal attention.

---

3. The World Cup & Soccer Fandom

[05:24 - 07:27, 31:13 - end]

• Anxieties and excitement about Mexico's World Cup match.
• Nostalgia and national pride are at play, with discussions about FIFA, favorites (Hakimi, Morocco), and sports superstitions.
• Reflection on the culture of being passionately lazy during the World Cup ("Is it okay to be a lazy while the World cup is going on and sit in your sofa all day long watching football?" – Memo, 31:22).
• Celebration of the cultural significance of the World Cup in Mexico—schools and work shut down to watch the game (32:55).

4. AITA Segment: Honest Takes & Real-Life Scenarios

a) Deleting Exes’ Photos

[08:42 - 14:44]

• The hosts dissect whether one should delete old photos with exes if a current partner is uncomfortable.
• Josh’s take: "I don't like the whole sentimental thing. Like, they belong to me... we're in the new, new sweetheart." (09:58)
• Sebas: “If it's a group photo, I think we're all mature enough to be like, whatever, bro.” (10:05)
• The consensus: Romantic/solo ex photos should go out of respect. ("Delete them. Respect for your guy, man." – Memo, 13:57)

b) Supporting Friends’ Businesses (Even If You Don’t Like It)

[17:57 - 20:48]

• Is it wrong not to post about your friend’s clothing brand if you don’t vibe with the style?
• Josh: "Buy things from your friends and ask for free things from strangers... you gotta support your friends." (18:15)
• Sebas: "It’s not about what you like, it's about what might hit for someone else." (19:34)
• Conclusion: “To a degree, you're an a**hole if you refuse just because it's not your style. Just post it. To your friend, it means everything.” – Memo (20:12, 19:47)

c) Replacing a Friend on a Trip for Not Paying

[21:01 - 23:18]

• Is it justified to invite someone else if a friend delays payment despite repeated asks?
• Sebas: “We're grown enough not to be like, you know, begging for... that.” (21:26)
• Jessica: "As long as you communicated." (22:04)
• Takeaway: Not an a-hole if you set clear expectations and the friend didn’t step up. Deadlines matter.

d) Roommate’s Significant Other Basically Living Rent-Free

[23:25 - 24:51]

• Is it wrong to demand a roommate’s partner contribute to rent if they’re constantly around?
• Josh: “If they're eating the food, if they're there, dude, they gotta pay some rent.” (23:42)
• Roommate is deemed the a-hole for lack of boundaries and respect.

e) Walking Out of a Bad Date Over Phone Use

[27:54 - 29:33]

• Is it rude to leave a date after they spend dinner on their phone?
• Jessica: Texted after she left; paid her half. Hosts agree: Absolutely justified. “What a waste of time. That guy’s the a**hole.” – Memo (28:29)

• “Just post it. It’s only live there for 24 hours. Your friend's happy, life moves on.” – Memo, [20:37]
• “Once you travel with friends, you know a lot about them.” – Sebas, [21:44]
• Humor about adulthood: milk jugs, walking outside in socks, and breaking ‘childhood rules’ just because they can now. (“Now I walk outside with my socks in the rain—because I can.” – Memo, 25:31)
• Heartfelt reflection about supporting moms and women in dating in modern times: (“Men sometimes just suck.” – Sal, 29:26)

---

6. World Cup “This or That” Game

[31:01 - end]
A rapid-fire series of "would you rather" questions:

• Best stadium seats: Front row behind the goal or midfield VIP? (“Nothing beats the energy with everybody around you.” – Memo, 34:44)
• Prime Messi vs. Prime Cristiano Ronaldo: Insights on talent, vibes, and team legacy. (Sal: Messi, Memo: Cristiano) [35:15 - 37:26]
• Ochoa vs. Rafa Márquez: Who’s more iconic in Mexican soccer?
• Photo with the winning team vs. signed jersey: Consensus leans toward the lasting memory of the group photo. (“Picture with the whole team, all day.” – Memo, 41:07)
• Attend World Cup final as a fan or film with your favorite player: Both hosts would attend — “for the moment of a lifetime.” [41:11 - 42:06]
• Penalty shootout win vs. regulation time win: For drama’s sake, they pick the ecstasy/agony of penalty kicks. (“For an epic showdown? Penalties!” – Memo, 43:22)

You ever heard of where. We'll get into the intro right now. But like if you. What people say like if you have a bat, if you. Your house for protection. Cuz some people don't want to have like, you know, guns or whatever to put a sock at the tip of it. So when you swing and like, let's say the person catches it, you can pull it and then you have like another chance. It was in the movie Enough by Jennifer Lopez. You ever seen it?

[Memo]

Good. It's a great movie. A lot of people hate on Jennifer Lopez movies. I like them.

[Sal]

Are you kidding me? Made in Manhattan. Are you with me, bro?

Oh my God.

Such a good movie.

[Memo]

Made in Manhattan.

[Memo]

Who I am. Yes, nowadays, who I am too. I just saw a recent movie on Jennifer Lopez. It's on Netflix. It was the guy from Ted Lasso. Oh, funny as. Yeah, she's a CEO. Yes, he's the lawyer.

[Sal]

I couldn't finish it, bro. You know which one I did like though? The guy with that white boy. I like him a lot. He's. He was in Owen Wilson. No, no and no.

[Memo]

Wait, wait.

[Sal]

Is Maluma in it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Dude, he's that guy. He has like a super sharp jawline. He was in the movie Top Gun. He's. You know who I'm talking about, bro?

[Memo]

Probably. Yeah, just not right now.

[Sal]

And he's like. He's like heir to the throne for like $20 billion. But there's all these people in front of him, so he has to like kill them in order to get the money. Dude, it's such a good movie. Wow. It's such a good movie. Top Gun. His name is. No, no, no. The Top Maverick. Maverick. Maverick.

[Sal]

I loved it. Yeah.

[Memo]

It was a great, great movie.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Yeah. I love movies.

[Sal]

You know what's crazy in the movie, I don't want to give away the movie, but like there. We always feel like the world revolves around, like, us, right? We're all like self centered people. And like when you do, when you think of something, when you do something bad, you're like, oh, my God, like, I'm gonna get caught. Right. But then in this movie, like, he murders people and like, he doesn't really get caught. And I think it kind of painted more in a real way where, like, nobody's really watching you like that. Like, you can get away with so much because that's just the reality of life, you know, they were, mind you, I'm not saying they'll kill people. Don't push your luck. But it's just kind of interesting. I was like, damn. Like, I almost feel like it would be like that if somebody did kill somebody. Like, it's like, you know, on today's

[Memo]

episode, Josh talks about not killing anybody and also, put a sock on your back.

[Sal]

I'm only here to deliver the good news, man.

[Memo]

I love it. Welcome to La Platica.

[Memo]

I. I have confidence in Mexico, but it's good nerves. And I'm nervous, bro. Like, what the. Why wouldn't I be?

[Sal]

This is elimination round.

[Memo]

Yeah. It's not do or die. Yeah. And there is no coming back with all the games that been going b upset, you know, Germany. Shout out to Padawai. First of all, shout out to Paraguay. You guys killed it. Like Germany. I had money on Germany. I'm not gonna lie.

[Memo]

But God, I was so happy for Morocco yesterday. Morocco. Oh, I had a Morocco shirt on. People thought it was AI.

[Sal]

I did too.

[Memo]

NASA. And I bought this because I had money on Morocco and I wanted to support Morocco. I do like Morocco. A lot of people always ask me why Morocco is. Like, I'm a big. I used to play FIFA a lot. Like, feet, like the soccer. I still do, to be honest, I haven't in a while and it kind of makes me feel old. And I don't want to, like, let that go because I love FIFA. It's the. I. I personally think it's the best game in the world.

[Sal]

It's a good game.

[Memo]

I always used to play with Hakimi and that's why I went for Morocco.

[Sal]

You know why I like Morocco? One time I was at Epcot at Disney World. And you know, you go around the world and there's Morocco and I got the bar. No, but it wasn't the bar itself. It was the Moroccan server who like, won me. I'm like, dude, you're cool, man. They're the nicest people.

[Memo]

People.

[Sal]

Super chatty. I was like, this guy's a vibe.

[Memo]

Moroccan people are the.

[Sal]

Honestly, they be rocking, bro.

[Memo]

I've been to Morocco once. True story. In Morocco eon.

[Jessica]

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Oh, I don't know. Sorry.

[Sal]

He.

[Memo]

Bro, he has a super famous house there and it's all blue. And we got.

[Sal]

He just did in 2008. Look at how sick he looks.

[Memo]

Yeah, we did a tour there and Saint Laurent took us. It was. It was probably, I would say, the most beautiful hotel of my life. It was called.

[Sal]

I forgot, bro, his name is so cool. Like, that was his name.

[Memo]

It's the coolest name.

[Sal]

What about. What about Christian Dior? Like, that was another name. That was another gentleman.

[Memo]

They're French, right? They're French dudes.

[Jessica]

We.

[Memo]

Yeah. So, I mean, in France, they have the coolest names, man.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Memo]

You know, name. I like Pierre. Ah, I like Pierre a lot.

[Sal]

Here is kind of a vibe.

[Memo]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Like, would you ever name your kid something like. Like that?

[Memo]

I'll name him Laurent.

[Sal]

Laurent's kind of sick. I always think about, like, my grandma, like, if she'll be able to pronounce my kids names. Because I. I would. I would want to be adventurous with the names. But then I'm like, is my grandma gonna be struggling?

[Memo]

Yeah. Yeah. So. Well. Oh, we forgot to mention that today's episode is sponsored by SeatGeek.

[Sal]

How they know that, bro?

[Memo]

Everyone ready to take me up on the App Store? Today we have something special. We have a. A short episode of Am I the.

[Sal]

That's not short. It's a. It's.

[Memo]

Oh, I'm sorry. A short segment of Am I the Asshole? We're gonna get into some other stuff.

[Sal]

Yeah, we're gonna. Guys, we. We know how much you guys love these and we want to. We want to answer your. Am I the. Because we are good at identifying.

[Memo]

That's what we're good at. Let's do it Things I'm good at

[Sal]

identifying, eating huevos conuini and being a

[Memo]

vibe and looking good. And you got Yves Saint Laurent on right now.

[Sal]

Didn't notice.

[Memo]

Let's take it away, Jessica.

[Jessica]

For this first one. Am I the asshole for refusing to delete old pictures with my ex? Ooh. My partner wants me to delete every picture I have with them, but they're a part of my life, and some are from vacations with friends. I don't look at them, but I don't see the point in pretending those memories never happened. Am I the asshole?

[Sal]

That's a tough one, because.

[Memo]

Go ahead now. Go ahead. I don't want to interrupt you. Yeah, you want to kiss you.

[Sal]

You were about to interrupt me.

[Memo]

I want to kiss you.

[Sal]

I was looking at my photo as she was, as Jess was talking. I wanted to see how many photos I have in my, in my phone. And I want to say it's, like, crazy. It's like, I don't know, 40,000.

[Memo]

What?

[Sal]

Yeah. I have an insane amount of photo, and I can go all the way to the top. And the first photo I have is October 4, 2016. Believe it or not, this was in your old apartment when I first met you, bro. We met in 2016. You took this picture of me. This is the first photo in my camera roll, which is kind of a trip to me.

[Memo]

Are you trying to have sex with me right now?

[Sal]

Are you not getting that? I'll send to you this so you can share it to the, to the listeners of the world. But look, I do agree that. Oh, man, I don't know. I, I, it's tough.

[Memo]

I think it's pretty simple. Delete them, I think.

[Sal]

I don't, I don't like the whole sentimental thing. Like, they belong to me. But, yeah, I don't like that. Like, we're in, we're in the new, new sweetheart.

[Memo]

If it's a group photo, I think we're all mature enough to be like, whatever, bro. Like, I'm not gonna trip on that. Like, it's not like, I don't want to see how he looks. Like, like, how insecure can you be saying that as well, right?

[Sal]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Memo]

Like, if it's a group photo and, like, there's people of value in that

[Sal]

photo, like your mom and your brother.

[Memo]

Yeah. Like, what the. Just keep it, like, big deal. You know what I mean? Like, grow up on that one. But if they're like, see, like, just you and him or him and her Something romantic, and it's something. And you be like, oh, like, it's part of my life. It's like, okay, so that part of your life you still want to hold on to. What about me? Right?

[Sal]

Hold on to me.

[Memo]

Not me personally. Not that. I mean, I would find it a little bit, like, disrespectful.

[Jessica]

It. It.

[Sal]

It slightly is, bro. Yeah, I agree.

[Memo]

So it's like, I. I don't think you're like. But it's pretty assholeish to have single ones.

[Sal]

There's people who can be friends with their exes. I don't think it's really difficult to do, especially if you're like. If you were really involved and it's difficult to do. So you got to be able just to, like, let go, move on.

[Memo]

Yeah.

[Sal]

And just like, kind of, I guess cherish those moments in your heart, but to keep them in your camera roll, you know, when you're in a new relationship, it's a little off.

[Memo]

Yeah.

[Sal]

I used to date this girl, bro, way back when. I don't want to talk about exes too much, but this is an old relationship, and she was previously in another relationship. And her mom, she says that her mom saved all the memories and photos that they had of that relationship in, like, a little, like, little container thing in her garage. And I remember when she told me that, and I was just like, so you. The photos are in the garage? I was at her house, by the way. I was like, the photos are in your garage currently. She's like, yeah. And then she was like, and if we ever break up, too, like, I'm going to do the same with, like, ours. Like, she doesn't believe in, like, throwing stuff away, and her mom kind of taught her that. So she doesn't keep stuff on her phone. I guess at the time things were different.

[Memo]

Right.

[Sal]

Because we didn't really have phones like that, but she kept, like, a bin of old stuff.

[Memo]

I heard they do that.

[Sal]

People do that, so. But.

[Memo]

But, dude, I respect it. I respect it. But I do also think, like, take into consideration if you're. If you're vato is, like, telling you, like, hey, why do you have those pictures? Like, do something about it. You know, Meet in the middle.

[Sal]

Yeah. Like, let's just say you, like, she lived with her mom at time we were in high school. She lives in my time, and we end up, like, moving out. Hypothetically speaking. Right? She's gonna bring the bin. Like, bro, we're burning the bin. Yeah, we're burning the bin.

[Memo]

That's What I'm saying, like, how would you feel that she has a bin of you?

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Of like old pictures. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Flattered, sure. No, I get it. But like, it's kind of creepy.

[Sal]

I would kind of want to see that bin, bro. But actually I don't.

[Memo]

Yes, No, I know. But like, overall, it's kind of creepy. Yeah, not creepy like I. Because I kind of respect that. Like, that's kind of cool. Like, I don't, I don't, I don't ever think that anybody should like control, delete their memories from their life, you know, I think it's all. Everything matters, right? But, but no, if I, if, if my girlfriend, whatever at the time has old pictures of her ex, you know, I would. Why? You know. Yeah, like, you know, they're, they're your ex, I feel like for a reason. And you should, you know, have that kind of past your life.

[Sal]

So she said, I don't look at them and I don't see the point on pretending those memories never happen. You don't have to pretend they never happen. I just don't think you need to have like, you keep that.

[Memo]

And if you never looked at them, then what's the big deal of deleting them for me now? If you had a baby, is it

[Sal]

more weird to save the photos in like a hard drive and like give them to a friend or something? Like, yo, just keep these.

[Memo]

Yeah, that's even more weird because it's like, hey, keep them, I want them. Yeah, I even went through the whole thing to put them on a hard drive, created a file and individualized them, drag them into files. You know what I mean? It's kind of. I, I think you should delete them. I think out of respect.

[Sal]

Delete them.

[Memo]

Respect for your guy, man. I mean, respect your V. I think, I think you would want the same thing, you know, I think the majority. Right. And if you. And if, and if you're okay with it, then you're okay with it. But when we talk about am I the. And you submit these questions, we're talking about the general public and what they would want, right? Yeah, yeah. That's why.

[Sal]

So I've deleted photos from previous relationships, but like I said earlier, I have 40,000 photos. So like once in a blue moon, you know, you just go through your camera roll, like something will pop up. Nothing crazy, right? But I'm like. And I immediately delete it. Cuz I'm like, this is not what I'm trying to do here. You know, So. I don't know, man. You got to delete that shit, bro. Let it go. But here's the thing about me, bro. I'm not a hoarder. I don't hold on to things. I. It's so easy for me to throw shit away. Are you like, that? I can be, like, have in my room and I'm. I'll throw it away, bro. I don't care. I don't need to, like, hold on to things.

[Memo]

I. You can ask my wife. I don't throw anything away. I feel like everything that I buy in my life is of some sort of value.

[Sal]

Okay.

[Memo]

And will one day be handed off to somebody who can appreciate it. There are some things.

[Sal]

I mean, of course, bro, but I'm saying, like, I don't know. Like, I don't know.

[Memo]

No, I. Yes, I'm a hoarder.

[Sal]

You are?

[Memo]

Yeah.

[Sal]

You are definitely more. Are you just. I feel like you're not.

[Jessica]

Sorry.

[Sal]

Camera for it, you guys.

[Jessica]

No, it's okay. A little more than my partner would like me to be, for sure. Yeah. Yeah.

[Sal]

What about you?

[Memo]

So, no, I'm not a hoarder at all.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Like, I throw away as much as I can. Like, I'm also a type of human being that, like, I pride myself into. Like, for example, I want to have a lot of things under me. You know what I mean? Like, under my name. Like, I. Like, it's ownership. It doesn't matter if it's cost $1, $2. If I had this little bottle of Grandmalito, it's. It's mine. It's under my branch of ownership thingies.

[Sal]

Okay. Can I.

[Memo]

Which is super harder of me to say.

[Sal]

Can I. This is not to, like, I'm better than you, but I'm the exact opposite. That I rather give people stuff. Like, if somebody like, oh, my God, it's the coolest thing. Do you want it? Like, I don't need to have that. I'm not like that. I'm like, bro, you could. I give away so much, bro? Because it makes me feel better to give it than to, like, keep it. Just to say it's mine.

[Memo]

Yes, you. You saying that. You're making me look like an. And that's not what I was saying.

[Sal]

That's cool, dude. I literally manipulated that.

[Memo]

Yeah, that's. I was like, wait, that's not what I'm saying. You know me. I am the most giving person ever. Like, I. I do give. And, like, obviously, yes, I love giving stuff to people. It honestly gives me A boner. But I'm saying like that I like that I want to own for the rest of my life. It's too many things.

[Sal]

Like a.

[Memo]

Cars.

[Sal]

Like specific cars.

[Memo]

Yeah, like cars. Most cars ever. Cuz I that. That like I have pride in having the most cars ever. Like to me, I think that's the coolest thing for me in my head. It's not in real life, but that's like cool, you know. To me I want to have a warehouse full of things that are just mine, you know. That's why in my head I'm like, I'm a hoarder.

[Sal]

I mean that's kind of cool because I do like the idea of like when like people like pass and like you get to like go see like all the stuff that they had and that was theirs. Like for example, there's like that whole. I don't know why it's popped up the Museum of Selena and she had like a red Porsche or it was some sort. She has it still. I'm like, damn, that's really cool.

[Memo]

You know, it's just like kind of like some legacy.

[Sal]

Legacy.

[Memo]

But like, like. Have you ever seen American Pickers?

[Jessica]

No.

[Memo]

You know what I'm talking about the American Pickers on like History Channel where they go to somebody's house and. And. And they try to buy things off them because they have like a bunch of hoarding shit. They. They're either hoarders or collectors. Yeah. And like when I watch and I meet these people that are in the middle of nowhere and they open their garage and they just have this crazy amount of shit and you're like, dang, that's so fudgeing cool that he has. It's like it represents him or her. And it tells me a story of who you are.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

You walk into my. My office downstairs when it's clean, it's always dirty and you can tell who I am. Right?

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Like that. To me, that's beautiful.

[Sal]

I agree. There's a. There's a beauty to that. There's a beauty to that.

[Memo]

But sometimes seem a passo.

[Sal]

You do.

[Memo]

Yeah. So.

[Sal]

Next one. Jess.

[Memo]

Yeah. You're kind of an asshole.

[Jessica]

Am I the asshole for not posting my friend's business? Because I don't actually like it. My friend started a clothing brand and once. Sorry. My friend started a clothing brand and keeps asking me to promote it. I want to support them, but I honestly don't like the designs and I don't want to post something that I wouldn't wear. Am I the Asshole.

[Sal]

I saw this quote recently on Instagram where this guy was like, he said, buy things from your friends and ask for free things from strangers. Because, like, we want free things from our friends that have their own businesses, but we'll buy from strangers. Right? So it's like, it's like you got to support your friends. I'm a huge believer in supporting your friends. I don't think you're an asshole for not wanting to like promote it, you know, But I mean, I think it's. You want to show love.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Memo]

I think, I think at the end of the day, what you said is my friend. Friend's business. So if that's really your friend and you love them as your friend, just post it. That doesn't mean that just because they have shitty ass designs that that represents who you are or they just support

[Sal]

you to somebody else.

[Memo]

Exactly. I've learned that. I've learned that, you know, somebody else's. You know, we've done things like that before in the past. And I might not like it, but a lot of people do.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

And you know, it's not, it's not. Sometimes it's not about me, you know,

[Sal]

I mean, it is crazy, bro. Like how it could be like kind of polarizing like that. Not to bring it about. Salut. But horchata, that flavor, bro, that is like one of those flavors. People love it and there's people that despise it. Like, don't like that at all.

[Memo]

Yeah.

[Sal]

And it's just crazy to me. I'm like, wow, it's the same flavor but people just react to it. Like completely different, polar opposite or another

[Memo]

flavor that you have, you know, like, yeah, sure. You know, I don't drink down, but so many people do. Yeah. I mean, it's not about what you like, it's what you know, what hit.

[Sal]

And then also, dude, I feel like social media is so fleeting. Like you post something. Nobody fudgeing remembers what you post, but what it does to your friend that you reposted them means everything. People are going to click through stories and like they're going to move on with their life.

[Memo]

That's the answer.

[Sal]

But you post that and your friend, like, wow, like they feel good and that's it. And to give somebody that feeling, I think is worth it because you shouldn't

[Memo]

care about what other people think about your friend's brand. It's, it's. You should care about how your friend feels that you just reposted her. Her brand that she has put. She or he has Put a lot of effort into it. So. Yeah, I agree.

[Sal]

Yeah. But yeah, so to a degree, you're an.

[Memo]

To a degree. Yeah. Just. Just post it. It's not like it's gonna live on your feed. One thing is like, hey, post it on your static feed post.

[Sal]

Especially if she keeps asking and have

[Memo]

it, you know, but then again, like, if follows the other friend and I only asked once, maybe twice. I would never ask you again because I know I got the hint.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

So maybe stop asking too on the other side. But like, yeah, you're kind of an.

[Sal]

You know, especially if she's asking.

[Memo]

Yeah. And it's just on your story, bro.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

It's only live there for like 24 hours. Yeah. You did your thing. Your friend's happy life moves on. There's worse things. I'm assuming that you've posted, right?

[Sal]

For sure.

[Memo]

Yeah. So help out your friend. Who cares.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Like I said, like you said, it'll mean the world to them and you never know who. Who it attracts. Yeah, man, I agree. Give my back.

[Jessica]

Speaking of friends, am I the asshole for replacing my friend on a trip after they took too long to pay? We planned a trip months in advance, but one friend kept saying they'd paid me back next week. Next week? Yeah. After waiting almost a month, I invited someone else. Now they're upset because they finally had the money all of a sudden.

[Sal]

Oh, so they hadn't gone on the trip yet.

[Memo]

They were going on a trip.

[Sal]

They needed a prepay because they probably. Damn.

[Memo]

Nah, nah, she did the right thing. It's cool. We're grown enough not to be like, you know, begging for, for like that and you know, it's like, no hard feelings. But like, I'm assuming that like, she also probably put it on her car too and she needs to pay it off. And there's things like that going on and you're not going to mess up somebody's like, groove. And she probably realized that, like, you're probably a bad person to. To travel with. One thing about friends, once you travel with them, you know a lot about them. You learn a lot about them, you know. So that's why you always have a nice group of traveling buddies.

[Jessica]

Yes.

[Memo]

I don't think you're the asshole at all. I think no hard feelings. Maybe a sorry, but. And tell her the truth. Communication.

[Sal]

Well, that's what I was going to say. As long as you communicated like, hey, you know, just so you know, like, I need to like, get this paid off. Are you able to pay me by this date. If not, I'm going to have to find somebody else. Cuz it seems like you're not trying to go. Cuz you're not. You haven't paid. But I mean, dude. Yeah, I agree with you. People have credit card bills. Like if they're putting on their credit card, they're going to have to pay for it.

[Memo]

I'm assuming it wasn't just once that she said, hey, do you got the money? I'm assuming she didn't just, you know, she didn't just blow you off on the first fucking. Please.

[Sal]

You know, and it sucks because I feel bad for your friend now because they were probably saving, but they got to communicate that too, right? Like, hey, look, I'm really want to go, I'm saving, I'm doing everything again. I promise you, I'm working on it. Because if they really got to that point, they had a. They were working towards it, you know. So I don't think it makes you the asshole. I think both of you guys didn't properly communicate because there was some discrepancy here.

[Memo]

But she's not an.

[Sal]

But I don't think she's an.

[Memo]

Yeah, no, there's deadlines, baby. And we're all grown enough to. To meet those deadlines. Yeah, you see? No, I'm sorry. You know what I mean? And if she really. And if. And if. And if homegirl or homeboy really wanted to go after and she got replaced. Who says you can't book your own flight? Who says you can't book your own hotel?

[Sal]

I mean, that's a good point.

[Memo]

Like what? Why?

[Sal]

Why I gotta do it for you?

[Memo]

Yeah, why do I gotta do it for you? That's weird. Where.

[Jessica]

Am I the asshole for telling my roommate their significant other basically lives with us? My roommate's partner sleeps over five or sleeps over five or six nights a week, eats our food and is always in the apartment. I finally told them they either need to contribute to rent or spend less time here. Am I the asshole?

[Sal]

No, absolutely not, bro. If they're eating the food, if they're there, dude, they got to pay some rent. Well, we gotta like talk. Like, what are we doing here? I get that you're in a relationship now and the person's always over, but like it seems like I got another roommate now.

[Memo]

I'd kick your roommate out because if your roommate's not even saying both of you are at fault. Yeah, like imagine having a roommate that thinks it's okay to walk basically all over you. And like, not like He's. He's living there for free, eating your food, walking around.

[Sal]

I'd be pissed, bro.

[Memo]

I'll be pissed, too. Like, hey, roommate, you know what? Either he pays rent or both of you get the out of here, man.

[Sal]

Yeah, I agree. It's crazy, bro.

[Memo]

I'll figure it out. I'll get somebody else. But no, that's like. No.

[Sal]

I don't understand how people just do that, Roommate. Without, like. Without, like, feeling that. Because if I was doing that, like, my girl was staying over my house for weeks on end, I'd be like, okay, I got to talk to him, make sure he's good. If we can some come to some sort of agreement here.

[Memo]

But the roommate is the asshole.

[Sal]

The roommate is the asshole.

[Memo]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Because the other guy is kind of like, whatever. Like, my girl is here, bro.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Like, I don't. You know, I don't really think about that kind of stuff. I feel like my girl's, like, handling it.

[Sal]

Yeah. By the way, you're out, you know,

[Memo]

Ham, by the way, we need more milk. He's probably the type that, like, drinks the. From the garafon, you know, from the jug.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Oh, that feels so good when you do that, though. I can do that because that's my milk jug.

[Sal]

Do you do that?

[Memo]

I do do that, bro.

[Sal]

I do that, too.

[Memo]

There's a lot of things I do now in my life that I'm older, more mature that my mom can't say shit about, and that's why I do it. That's why I do it.

[Sal]

Because obviously, as a kid, that's rude, right? Like, you're sharing it with everybody. I get it. You shouldn't do that. And I'll probably teach my mom.

[Memo]

My dad bought it, so they can say whatever they want, right?

[Sal]

But if. But it. I do it now.

[Memo]

You know what I do?

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

When it's raining outside, I walk outside with my socks on.

[Sal]

No, don't.

[Memo]

You know why? Because my mom used to get pissed. I don't care.

[Sal]

All right.

[Memo]

Wait. Thought you guys were gonna be on my side. Oh, rain or dry, I'm walking outside with my socks on. The other day, my neighbor saw me. He was walking his dog, you know?

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

I have such a. Such an amazing neighbor. Maybe another episode on him. He goes, hey, why. Why. Why do you. Why do you have your socks on? Like, he was, like, tripping old. Older than me. And why do you have your socks on?

[Sal]

I was like, because I couldn't do this when I was a kid.

[Memo]

I was like, honestly, I. Can I tell you something, neighbor? Because I can, honestly.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

He goes, you shouldn't do that. I was like, why?

[Sal]

Yeah. What, are you gonna spank me?

[Memo]

Yeah. What are you gonna do, Buy me something? Was he talking? No, he was just like, no, go put.

[Sal]

Because I got a bat with a Sammy Sosa signature on it, bro. Yeah.

[Memo]

And if I hit somebody with it, it'll be on the other side. Because then the signature was signature smudge the siggy. But, yeah, bro, straight up. I do shit now. Because I can. Because I can.

[Sal]

Yeah. Yeah. When I was little, I really wanted, like, Hot Wheel set that has, like, the little tracks. One on one so bad, bro. And I've been, like, thinking about buying one, you know, Be sick.

[Memo]

If you just have your whole inside of your house. One Hot Wheels track throughout all the rooms.

[Sal]

That would be sick.

[Memo]

Oh, have you seen those things on, like, TikTok and. And reels where they, like, compete, and it's like two Hot Wheel cars and. And they let them go at the same time and they go through the same track and what? And, like, you know, whichever one is. Is like a bet or something like that. That'd be cool.

[Sal]

Yeah. We is leading the way.

[Memo]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Sal]

Next one. Yes.

[Memo]

Can you believe. I don't know. Saul, did you have. I'm not saying that. You're super young. You're young. Did you ever walk into a Toys R Us? Yeah, bro. Okay, bro.

[Sal]

Toys R Us. Just.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Finished.

[Memo]

Okay. Yeah. Okay. I had the Hot Wheels collection.

[Sal]

Did you guys watch that mov. Channing Tatum, where he, like, lives in the Toys R Us.

[Memo]

No.

[Sal]

So good.

[Memo]

What was it called?

[Sal]

Roof Man.

[Memo]

Yeah, Roofman.

[Sal]

Watch it. That's a good movie, too. He, like, lives in Toys R Us. Goals.

[Memo]

You'll watch anything with Channing Tatum, huh?

[Sal]

Can I tell you something?

[Memo]

Yeah. Big magic M guy, huh? I know you so well, Channy, bro.

[Jessica]

This next one, I feel like, is pretty obvious, okay? Am I the asshole for leaving a date? After they spent the whole dinner on their phone? I went on a first date and they kept checking Instagram, replying to texts, and even answered a quick FaceTime. I paid for my half, left before dessert and texted them saying that I wasn't interested.

[Sal]

Well, that was very considerate you to pay your half, because I would have just dipped. I mean, as if I was a chick. You know what I mean?

[Memo]

Yeah, it was pretty bossy.

[Sal]

That's so considerate. That's crazy, bro. You don't like. You know. That's crazy, honestly. Good. That's That's. You just avoided a situation.

[Memo]

Yeah. What a waste of time. Oh, my God. What an. That guy. Yeah.

[Sal]

Now you're not an. Are you asking if you're the.

[Memo]

You're not answering a FaceTime.

[Jessica]

Who.

[Sal]

You busy? Not at all.

[Memo]

Hey, man, you busy?

[Sal]

No, I'm not really.

[Memo]

What's up, dude? Yeah, Tonight.

[Sal]

One second.

[Memo]

Yeah, one second. Yeah. And imagine she hears my half. He's probably like, oh, thanks, Jesus. What a dick.

[Sal]

You know what's funny?

[Memo]

They don't make them like they used to, huh?

[Sal]

Buddy, you don't know. I don't know about all that either. So my mom is currently single. She's been single for some time now. And she goes on dates. I think I've talked about this before. And she'll, like, tell me these horror stories about these men that she goes on dates with. They don't pay. They don't open the door for, like, just simple gentleman stuff that she, I guess, was used to as she was dating when she was younger. It still doesn't exist, bro. It's just men sometimes just suck. Like. And my mom's 65, so she's dating men who are 40.

[Memo]

Dang. Good for your mom. That's sick.

[Sal]

I don't think she's ever dated that young. I would. I. At this age.

[Memo]

Oh, you just thought that joke was gonna hit, huh? Yeah, it hit.

[Sal]

It hit. At this age, I don't think I would care.

[Memo]

No. What the fuck?

[Sal]

If my mom dated somebody who was, like, even at my age, I'd be. I think it's a little weird, but

[Memo]

40's kind of over 40.

[Sal]

45. I'm like, oh, yeah, go for it.

[Memo]

45 is my minimum for my mom, but your mom. Hopefully my dad's not hearing this.

[Jessica]

What are you talking about?

[Memo]

My mom's almost 60. My mom looks young. My dad's 60 this year.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

My mom's 59.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

They look great.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Like me.

[Sal]

Yeah. You thought that joke was gonna hit, huh?

[Memo]

Didn't I think? Sal, put his head down.

[Jessica]

I was gonna say. Your mom's doing it, right?

[Memo]

Yeah, she is.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Sal]

What's your age difference between your mom and dad?

[Memo]

One. One and a half. Okay. Yeah. 159. 160. Yeah.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Dude, I. I would not care. Honestly, I'm thinking about it. My mom wanted to date somebody. Whoever. She could do. Whoever. No, I do not care. I want. Not. Not, like, I don't care.

[Memo]

40, bro.

[Sal]

I want her if she's genuinely happy, because I know my mom. So.

[Memo]

Well, right.

[Sal]

If I can look her in the eye and I can ask her, like, you're happy and I could tell, see, she's telling me the truth, I will I allow it.

[Memo]

Okay, I get that. Yeah. But 40, son, that's you right now.

[Sal]

That's why I think it's like, like. But I'm not 41st.

[Memo]

I know. All right. Closer to 40 than 30.

[Sal]

We're not going to discuss that. Next question.

[Jessica]

Well, actually that concludes the. The am I the asshole? Segments, but I do also have this or that World cup edition.

[Memo]

Okay.

[Jessica]

You guys want to get into it?

[Sal]

So it's like this multiple choice. Or.

[Jessica]

Or.

[Sal]

No, it's.

[Jessica]

You get two options and you pick

[Sal]

on which one and we this or we that. That.

[Jessica]

Correct. Yeah. Which one you would rather?

[Memo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before we get into that, can I just ask everybody here a question? Is it okay to be a lazy while the World cup is going on and sit in your sofa all day long watching football, soccer? Is it okay? Because yesterday I was in my couch all day long and then I looked at my girl, she wasn't looking at me, my wife. And I was like, damn. Feel kind of bad. I haven't done all day. But I was like, it's World cup though. So I got some money on these games. Is that bad?

[Sal]

It's not bad because one, it's every four years.

[Memo]

Okay.

[Sal]

Two, shout out Kalshi, you got money on the game. Three, you It's. No, bro, it's four years.

[Memo]

So it's okay if I'm a lazy son of a. Right?

[Sal]

Well, not lazy son of a bitch. Like what I did.

[Memo]

I'm not doing nothing, bro.

[Sal]

I stole the TV in my office, like right above my. Oh, you did my. Basically where my camera is. So I'm like looking. I'm like, huh? As I'm watching the game.

[Memo]

Oh, okay.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

What about you guys? Do we get a pass, everybody?

[Jessica]

Yeah, there's a huge. Yeah, I'm sure you worked out there's a path.

[Memo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like jam and sofa. It's passive income. Yeah, yeah. Well, you're working. You're working. It hasn't really been like that, but sure, we'll tell people it has. You know what? It's okay. Mexico in Monterrey, they gave everybody the day off, even the kids in school today because they know today, tonight and they want everybody to watch the World cup and see Mexico.

[Sal]

Wait, are they off tomorrow?

[Memo]

Yeah, even the president, what's her name said it. Wait, off today they were off Yesterday and today. I'm pretty sure.

[Jessica]

Dude.

[Memo]

Pretty sure.

[Sal]

That's super badass. And that's so cool.

[Memo]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Dude, that stadium in Monterey is insanely beautiful. That view that they always show where it's like the mountain back, like, damn, that is stunning.

[Memo]

Yeah. Karen was like, we should go to Monterrey. I was like, yeah, you're right.

[Sal]

I was like.

[Memo]

But you know what else? I was like, it's only those seats on that side where you get to see the mountain.

[Sal]

So you got to be kind of high up.

[Memo]

You. You got to be aware of. Of where you're sitting. But regardless, it's beautiful there. Oh, my God. Every stadium is gorgeous. Cool.

[Sal]

This, this. We're going to win today, bro.

[Memo]

Yeah, we are. Mexico. And I'm going put my luchador mask on.

[Sal]

Mystico, do you wear a jersey?

[Memo]

Yeah. My memo. South Africa. Okay.

[Sal]

This or that.

[Jessica]

Dude.

[Memo]

Okay, you asked me, all right.

[Jessica]

Would you rather sit front row behind a goal or midfield? VIP seats.

[Sal]

Oh, VIP seats. What does that mean, like, midfield?

[Jessica]

Like probably a box or something. Or right behind the goal.

[Memo]

I'm gonna go right behind the goal. This is a great question because you're not in the middle of the stadium, like, at an actual seat. That's. That would be my prime primary pick. I need to be where the action's at.

[Sal]

I like that. I do like that answer, but I'm gonna contradict you. I'm gonna say VIP because I'm boosh. But two, I saw this tick tock. I watch a lot of tick tock where this guy was like, if you're watching soccer, like, you're just watching people kick the ball back and forth, you're gonna get bored. But you got to watch it. Like a bank heist. Have you seen it?

[Jessica]

No.

[Sal]

And, like, the players are trying to get into the vault, so you got to watch, like, the planning that they're doing to, like, execute. So being able to watch it like that, where I can see the game go down like that, I think I would enjoy it.

[Memo]

Yeah. The only thing about the. The sweets, they're cool. I love them. You know, obviously, I love to be like that, especially when, like, it's all of the friends and family, but there's nothing, especially in the world. World.

[Sal]

A World cup game.

[Memo]

That energy with everybody around you. Honestly, at this point, doesn't matter. If you're in the corner and back of the goal, all the way with. With. With the pigeons, it doesn't matter. The nosebleeds, whatever, the rumble, the dancing, the beard getting thrown on you the chance, the. The bands, the. The energy. I would take that over anything, especially for a World cup game. I agree. Okay. Yeah.

[Sal]

But I've added that. This. I doubted that. This.

[Memo]

Why? This. That.

[Sal]

Of that.

[Memo]

There you go.

[Jessica]

Prime Messi or Prime Cristiano.

[Sal]

Okay, can I say something? So I would admit I haven't been, like, watching soccer my whole life, right? I. But I got into it pretty, like, probably, like, when I was probably, like, oh, I guess I was pretty young, like, 8 years old. Like 8. Marky's dad really got me into soccer, the World cup and all that stuff. And then when I started hearing about this debate, I went purely off vibes. Who's got the better vibes here? Okay. I looked at them, and I was like, cristiano just looks sick as fuck, bro. The vibe, the su. Like, everything. You know what I'm saying? Like, he's got it all. But as I've gotten older and I, like, have just looked at the game differently, I'm like, messi is so unreal, bro. He's spectacular. He is magic. On the field, Cristiano is sick, but I see a little bit more of, like, his, like, arrogance, you know what I mean? And Cristiano is just a purist, bro. He's just pure. Pure. Just godlike.

[Memo]

Yeah. He's, like, on the field.

[Sal]

On the field. So I'm going to go prime Messi.

[Memo]

Yeah. I'll go prime Cristiano Ronaldo as a Real Madrid fan.

[Sal]

Yeah. Okay.

[Memo]

For sure.

[Sal]

That's fair. That's fair.

[Memo]

Great vibes. Yeah, I think vibes. Yeah. It's just a beast.

[Sal]

He is.

[Memo]

Yeah. Honestly, he's a striker. Not even Ramadi. Manchester United, too, with a little bit of Juventus.

[Sal]

So he's your go over Messi.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Sal]

Wow.

[Memo]

Not that I don't like Messi.

[Sal]

I love him. That's what he said.

[Memo]

He. Like you said, he's spectacular.

[Sal]

Spectacular, bro.

[Memo]

He is somebody who makes it happen.

[Sal]

I want to see more from Cristiano in this World Cup. I don't want to.

[Memo]

We.

[Sal]

The world needs to, sadly.

[Memo]

And no disrespect to the Portuguese players, but it's just Argentina is a better team. And. And. And. And Leonel Messi can do much more with Argent. If you put Leo Messi with Port, with the Portugal team, might not be the same. L. Messi. And sometimes that frustrates me because I feel bad. Well, I don't know. Not really. But it's just like, if. If. If Ronaldo was Argentinian. Argentinian. I feel like he'd be more spectacular because of the team that Argentina has, bro.

[Sal]

Maybe.

[Memo]

Maybe, you know, it's just. But at the end of the day, Prime Ronaldo is still my pick.

[Sal]

Okay.

[Jessica]

Speaking of, which one should I do next? Because there's two that I could do next that I think kind of go

[Sal]

with segue into a conversation.

[Memo]

You know what to do.

[Jessica]

Ochoa in his prime or Rafa Marquez in his prime?

[Sal]

Oh,

[Memo]

I would be Rafa Marquez in my. In Rafa Marquez prime. Like, basically telling me who would I be. Right?

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Yeah, I would be Rafa Marquez. Just everything he's accomplished. I mean, the dude played for Barcelona, like, all day, you know, not that memo child never did.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Not. Not, like, play for higher teams. He didn't play for Barcelona, but I think Raja Marquez in his career and what he's done for Mexico and especially in Europe, I would choose that over. I don't know.

[Sal]

I'm going to show up, bro. All day.

[Memo]

It's a tough question, but. Yeah, too. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be mad at that either, but if I had to have.

[Sal]

He's more of an icon in Mexico. I would say Ochoa,

[Memo]

bro.

[Sal]

They, like, he. They put him, like, as a saint.

[Jessica]

No.

[Memo]

You know, you're. You're right. It's like he's more marketable. Right. Is what you're saying. But, I mean, it's kind of crazy.

[Sal]

Like, it's really his hair that kind of, like, identified him.

[Memo]

But I personally think that if you ask the, like, Mexico, the country, I. I don't know. I might be wrong, but I think if you personally ask Mexico, the country, who would you. Who is more an iconic Mexican player. I think a lot of people might have. Might choose Rafa Marquez. He has two Champions League titles, which is like the. There's, like, the World cup and there's Champions League. But to me, in my eyes, the best Mexican player of all time is Hugo Sanchez. The best. The dude play for Real Madrid.

[Sal]

Like, that's.

[Memo]

He put Mexico on the map.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Not only that, he just. He's a goat. I mean, you can just see his stats. I think he has better stats than Maradona, bro. Anyways, next one.

[Jessica]

Speaking of goats. Speaking of goats. Getting a jersey signed by your goat.

[Sal]

Okay.

[Jessica]

Or take a photo with the entire winning team.

[Memo]

Oh, nah, winning team. And then I'm gonna expand it, and that motherfucker's going in my office. Just me, though.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Winning team. Just me.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

In the middle. That's the pig.

[Sal]

That's the pig.

[Memo]

Like no, like, this wasn't. No Make a Wish Foundation. And, like, they picked five winners and. And I was one of them. And.

[Sal]

No, no, just you.

[Memo]

I'll Photoshop those out. Good luck. I mean, like, congratulations, we all won, but. Nah, son, this needs to be also

[Sal]

Make a Wish foundation is kind of crazy. Why? Because people are dying. Oh.

[Memo]

You know what I mean? I'm saying as bad if they were dying, I was dying too, and I won.

[Sal]

That's true. Yeah. I'm gonna go with the photo. That photo.

[Memo]

Look at pay. He can't contain himself. Was that up? Should we take that out? I didn't mean it like that jersey

[Sal]

signed by the goat is sick, but not the pig. The pig, bro.

[Jessica]

Bro.

[Memo]

You don't even believe me. The gold Sammy Sosa sign my back.

[Sal]

That's what I'm saying.

[Memo]

Yeah. Like, you know, you might believe me finally. But other people, if I had a Cristiano Ronaldo jersey, you know, it had to come with the pick, too.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

So I would rather have a picture.

[Sal]

Yeah. I'm a little skeptical when it comes to signature stuff. My brother, for my. For one of my birthdays, he bought me a Michael Jordan sign basketball. And I'm like, you sure? You know what I mean?

[Memo]

Did it get it on whatnot?

[Sal]

I don't know, bro.

[Memo]

Yeah, I think I get a picture, bro. All day long.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

With the whole team.

[Sal]

The winning team. That was hard.

[Memo]

All day.

[Jessica]

Okay, now, would you rather film content with your favorite player or attend the final as a fan? The final. And you're. And your team is playing the final.

[Memo]

What was the first one again?

[Sal]

What was the first one?

[Jessica]

Film content. Oh,

[Sal]

damn, dude.

[Memo]

And. And obviously this is like, we can't afford going to the final. Right. Because if you can, then I don't

[Sal]

think it needs to be that deep, bro.

[Jessica]

It's.

[Memo]

It impacts the question. Why? Because I could just film the final

[Sal]

as a fan, meaning, like, your team went. So that means, like, Mexico went to the final. I'm going to final as a fan to be at the final that Mexico goes to for the first time in history ever. I'm there.

[Memo]

I'm. I'm there, too.

[Jessica]

Yeah.

[Memo]

Yeah. I don't need content.

[Sal]

Yeah.

[Memo]

I'm. I'll.

[Sal]

But you can't film content there either. That wasn't pictures.

[Memo]

That wasn't the question.

[Jessica]

No.

[Memo]

Yeah. I'd go to the final, of course. What an opportunity. Oh, that would be great.

[Sal]

Crazy, dude.

[Memo]

We should try to go to the final. When is the final?

[Sal]

It's in New York when is it? July? July 19th. 19th. Yeah, July 19th. I already looked at this, bro.

[Memo]

Because regardless of who wins or who loses, I mean, it's the two best teams in the world.

[Sal]

I can swing it.

[Memo]

I can swing it too.

[Sal]

No pun intended.

[Memo]

And you guys need someone to vlog it. Yeah, we got. Okay, okay, okay.

[Sal]

Just. We need someone to produce it.

[Jessica]

Let me know, Let me know. Last one. Penalty shootout or regulation time win.

[Sal]

That's a good one. Jazz. How's it going? How's it going? How's it going? How's it going? Something about penalty shootouts is like magical, dude.

[Memo]

Man, it gets me cuz even yesterday's game.

[Sal]

Who. What game was it? Was it the Morocco game?

[Memo]

Both teams went to penalty spot. Why Germany and Morocco, one of them

[Sal]

was a little bit more like slower pace, you know what I mean? But when it got to the penalty kicks, I was like, w the Germany game, I feel like Germany game was a little slow.

[Memo]

Yeah.

[Sal]

And then when it got to the penalty kicks, I was like, this is a match.

[Memo]

I felt like Morocco was waiting to do penalties, bro, because again, at the extra time, they were just passing it through the. Through through the medicancha. And I was just like, oh, they want penalties, bro.

[Sal]

So how. How would you want to win

[Memo]

for a epic showdown? Penalty penalties. There's nothing. There's nothing greater as a win in soccer, football then penalties. Winning in penalties is the craziest because both teams went as far as they could to. To try to beat one another. And yeah, so I would definitely do penalties. Winning in regulation, obviously I would want that for my team any day because I don't want to go to penalties.

[Sal]

Seal the deal.

[Memo]

Seal the deal. But for the show, if I wanted the most epic ever, I would do tie game, regulation timeos extra. They score and we score and then penalties again. That is the most epic, cuz you get the most out of what football has to offer.

[Sal]

A lot of bang for your buck.

[Jessica]

It.

[Memo]

It is all the bang for your buck.

[Sal]

You saw a penalty shootout, you saw scoring game.

[Memo]

It is the most even me watching Morocco yesterday and then Hakimi miss, I was like, oh my God, I can't believe how giving miss. And then they just won, bro. It was. It was amazing. It's beautiful. It's crazy. Like you don't really get that with other sports either.

[Sal]

Ah, it's magical, bro. It's. I'm gonna miss the World cup when it's over. I think about. I'm already dreading it. I'm like, what am I gonna do?

[Memo]

Induce yourself.

[Sal]

World cup love island. I'm set, dude.

[Memo]

Yeah, I mean, I was already thinking about I'm just gonna induce myself in a coma and wake up in four years.

[Sal]

Well, yeah, dude, I was thinking about it. We're going to be 40 when the next World cup is. I was talking that with Mel. I was like, I'm going to be 40. 40, bro. I'm like, holy shit. Like, I wanted to come, but, like, you know, don't come too fast. Pause. Anyways, thank you guys so much for watching La Platica. I hope you guys enjoyed today's episode. Shout out to camera four.
