I don't know why Jessica came to my name, but I feel like there's a Jessica listening to me on the. On the stairmaster.
Josh
Maybe a Cindy.
Sebastian
Maybe a Cindy. Maybe a Cindy.
Lu
Lu.
Sebastian
We are La Platica. I am your host, the Josh Lea, accompanied by the handsome, ever so charming Sebastian Robles. We got camera four in the building. Sa and Jessica holding it down. Hold it down. And, man, we're just excited to be here today with you guys. We've had some guests back to back. Come on. But we haven't had a. We haven't had a bro moment, dude.
Josh
Bro moment.
Jessica
Bro.
Josh
What do you want to do? Kiss?
Sebastian
Yeah, let's just make out, bro. Let's do what bros do and kiss.
Josh
I'm gonna make out with you like the homie Gabrielle from Love Island.
Sebastian
Have you been watching it, bro? That I. Okay. I have some thoughts about Love Island.
Josh
I have some thoughts about Gabrielle.
Sebastian
Yeah. So I wasn't too sold on the cast initially. I was like, oh, man. I don't know. I feel like they did a. Didn't do a great job casting, but now I'm, like, fully invested. Now I'm like, okay, these producers know what they're doing.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
Because you have these characters, like, who was it?
Josh
Gabriel.
Sebastian
Oh, Gabriel. Yeah, he. And he's just, like, a little, like, Tungar McGee. Like, all this fool wants to do is make out.
Josh
But look, he's just horny, bro.
Sebastian
But you know what I think it is? Yes. I think he's extremely horny. But I also think that there's a huge language barrier, and he doesn't really get to, like, open up because he even said it on one of the episodes. He's like, in my language. In my native language, which is Portuguese, I can. When I talk, I feel like I can talk from the heart. But in English, like, I. It's not the same. So I'm like, why are you fudgeing on the show there?
Josh
You know, I can't really talk too much and express myself, but one thing I can. But what I can do is take my shirt off and kiss you like if I was a llama.
Sebastian
Yeah, yeah. These.
Josh
He's a little. Is a little too much.
Sebastian
There's this one girl that I think she's so insufferable. It's Melanie. Oh, my God, bro, I can't wait to Melanie again. She's the one who's dating sincere.
Josh
Oh, yes.
Sebastian
She has kind of has, like, crazy eyes. I told Mo from the jump, bro. I know. Eyes like that. I'm like, that girl is crazy. She's not stable.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
And immediately it started, like, showing.
Josh
They're saying she's like, Huda 2.0.
Sebastian
Yeah. She's a different kind of Huda, though. Does a little more like. I don't know. This girl is like, she. She thinks she's being, like, conniving and see like. Like, people Aren't onto her. It's like you're readable.
Josh
Yeah. I think it was episode two. I've only seen, like, the end two, by the way.
Sebastian
Oh, okay.
Lu
Yeah.
Sebastian
How many episodes are there at this point?
Josh
Like, five, six.
Jessica
Like, I think it's maybe six.
Sebastian
No, I think you guys are wrong. I think it's like, seven.
Josh
Yeah. Huh?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Not six. Seven.
Sebastian
I think you guys are way wrong.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
There's like, seven.
Josh
So I think episode two, when I first got the impression, I was like, oh, this girl's a little. She's a little cuckoo.
Sebastian
What's her name?
Jessica
Melanie. Melanie, yeah. Six episodes out.
Sebastian
So can you pull up the cast real quick? Because I want to go through these real quick. I'm going to give you guys my two cents.
Josh
It's when there was a bombshell. And she hasn't seen how she looks like. And she was asking sincere, which I honestly. I like the guys on the show.
Sebastian
Can I tell you something? I like sincere.
Lu
Me, too.
Sebastian
He's cool as.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
He seems very, like, sincere. Has a personality that you feel like you've known him for.
Josh
He's so sincere.
Sebastian
He's so sincere. Yeah. Sincerely sincere.
Josh
Yeah, Sincerely sincere. And so she was asking him questions like, how does she look like? And then he was like, he kind of looks like you in a way.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
And she's like, what was she wearing? He was like, I don't really know. Does she have tattoos? Like, she was already giving that.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
And I was like, ooh. I was like, I can't wait till he meets another girl. And there's mad drama.
Sebastian
Oh, there. And it's gonna happen. There is, like, a. You know what's so funny about this show? Like, there. These people have clearly have seen Love island before. They know how this show works. There's, like, this episode that just happened, and this won't give away too much. Cause this happens throughout the whole show. There's bombshells that come in. And they always kind of come in, like, at a place where nobody is expecting them to come in. They're, like, in the middle of a challenge or something. Right. And I just think it's so funny how, like, the cast reacts. Like, they're like. Like they kissed you.
Josh
Like they.
Sebastian
Because they kiss everybody. Like, that's what the Bombshells do every single time they come out. And it's just so funny how it's like a thing. Like, they're like, what? This girl right here, she talks like this. She's always like, here. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Josh
La Primera?
Sebastian
Yeah, the blondie, Kenzie. I don't, I'm not mad at her, though. I, I, I enjoy watching her. She's fine. She's fine. She's just interesting. This dude right here, he's one of his, his brother was a contestant last year.
Josh
Contestant?
Sebastian
Yeah, so they're called contestants.
Josh
The main guy, the one that they keep comparing him to.
Sebastian
His brother. Yeah, his brother was on the show last year.
Josh
That's his brother? Yes, the one that everyone says that you look like. Yeah, that's his brother.
Sebastian
That's his brother. Brother. Yeah, that's his brother. Brother. So when he got off the. I think his name is Charlie.
Jessica
The other guy.
Sebastian
Yeah, the brothers.
Josh
He was on there for a minute.
Sebastian
Yeah. And I think he was a bombshell.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
So Charlie, I don't know how he did. I don't fully remember.
Josh
He went pretty far.
Sebastian
But when he got off the show.
Josh
That guy's his brother?
Sebastian
Yeah. He was posting a lot with him, and I think that guy kind of started building, like, a little bit of a following because of it. And then so it wasn't so much of a shock that he was on. I don't mind him. I haven't seen any, like, I can't think negative towards him. I think he's a vibe. I think he's cool. I like who he's with.
Josh
It's almost like. I don't want to say too much because, like, one day, what about, like, they come on the show and then, like, I say these things right now and I just.
Sebastian
Perspective, right? Like, we don't know them like that. Like, this is just what we get of like an hour of tv. This other girl. Why can't I.
Jessica
No, I think, I think she got.
Sebastian
Oh, she didn't even make it.
Jessica
Nicked from the show before it started recording because of controversial stuff.
Sebastian
Yeah. This guy right here is a cop. He has, like, a funny story. Apparently he had just got, like, a job and then, like, he, he, like, left in order to do the show. And then, like, the, the, the, the. What is it? The lieutenant was like, talking about him online was like, it's crazy that we live in a society now that people would choose reality show versus, like, working in the, like, workforce.
Josh
I would, I'm like, bro, chill, bro. He probably works for, like, a little ass town, like, being a cop.
Sebastian
And is he done, like, Is he done, like, he can't ever be a cop again now?
Jessica
Like.
Josh
Yeah, yeah. I mean, if I was a cop and I was like a lieutenant and I liked the show, I'd hire him.
Sebastian
Yeah, I agree.
Josh
Like straight up. But he left the show, right?
Sebastian
Well, I think he kind of got shafted because he got in a love bomb came in. I know way some too much.
Jessica
Me too.
Josh
I talked in right now.
Sebastian
I knew way too much about the show. A new bombshell came in and they gave him the ability to pick any girl he wanted off the jump.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
So I think the girl that would have potentially picked him got picked up by that guy. So he kind of got a little shafted.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
Cuz he. He was with the girl who was the. The cross country girl.
Sebastian
He's
Josh
at first. And then she kind of shunned his ass, right? Yeah. For the resilient, which I kind of
Sebastian
do like them a little bit, dude.
Josh
I was like, they weren't. It was like batteries. And then the other girl, what's her name? The one right here on the right. That girl?
Jessica
Yes.
Josh
What's her name? I forgot.
Jessica
They were Trinity.
Josh
Trinity.
Sebastian
I like Trinity. Trinity's beautiful.
Josh
They were both in a room with Gabrielle and it's like, this is so awkward. Like, he goes, is it hot in here? Should I take off my shirt? And then Beth's like, yeah, D, take it off. I'm like, what world is this?
Sebastian
Yeah, it's a little violent, baby.
Josh
I'm like, oh, my God, this is crazy. Imagine being like, B's, like mom or dad and be like, jess, do you
Sebastian
ever watch the show and kind of get like secondhand embarrassment?
Jessica
I refuse to watch them kiss, bro.
Sebastian
I can't do it. I look away too. I literally go on my phone because I'm like. And then the. For whatever reason, I feel like the mics are super loud this month. I'm like, bro, that's terrible. And then I didn't. I didn't like the. The three of them sleeping together. I didn't like that.
Josh
That's kind of like.
Sebastian
It just. I don't know.
Josh
And like, I'm not saying I'm super ruo vibes or like old, but like, I'm like, I look at them, I'm like, this show really makes kids make out like that. Cuz I look at them as like a lot younger than me. They're like 22 to 28 maybe, you know, I'm like more than 10 years older.
Jessica
Like.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
I'm like, oh my God, I can't. I can't see it. Only because, like, I feel way older than them and I'm like, I can't see these kids make out like that.
Sebastian
I will Say, though they do it, but it's a good job casting. Because even though they are, like 22 year olds, like, I think they hold themselves pretty well. Like, they seem to have, like, good conversations.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
It's not like they're like, you know what I mean?
Josh
Completely, like, clueless.
Sebastian
I think they do a good job. But I do agree. I did. When the show started, I was like, I feel old watching these, like, kids, like, date like this. But it's entertaining as shit.
Josh
I mean, that's Love island, man. It's the best reality TV show out there right now, right?
Sebastian
Yes. This guy right here, I felt bad for him. The guy on the left.
Jessica
Casey.
Sebastian
Casey, He's. Because he's a sweetheart and he kind of got a weird situation with the
Josh
whole door where he, like, nobody was there.
Lu
Yeah.
Sebastian
Cats or something, right? Yeah. But like. And they kind of made it seem like he was kind of like, like, not loser, but like, just like, not the guy. But he's actually a good guy and I like him in the relationship with the girl. He's.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
We talked about Melanie being.
Lu
What about.
Josh
What about the worrito with the long hair?
Sebastian
He's. He's cool.
Josh
What do you think about that pose right there?
Sebastian
I feel like in the beginning when you see these photos, you're like, who are these people?
Lu
Right.
Sebastian
Like, they didn't do a good job, but once you kind of get to know them, you're like, all right. They grow on you.
Josh
Yeah.
Jessica
Melanie.
Sebastian
Melanie Crazy Eyes. I'm very intrigued. She's really going to be the one that holds the show, like, entertainment wise. Like, I don't want her to leave just because I know she's going to.
Josh
Yeah. Because I remember watching Love island last year and it was just Huda for like, two weeks straight. Just like her show.
Sebastian
But, bro, you couldn't keep your eyes off of her.
Josh
No, it was great.
Sebastian
You were drawn to, like, the drama of what she caused. And I think she's gonna do that. And it's starting to build. Yeah, it's starting to build.
Jessica
Did you watch the most recent one?
Sebastian
Yeah. When she got excited when the bombshell came in.
Josh
Yeah.
Jessica
And then, like, she was on one and then the other.
Sebastian
Yes. Dude. Oh, my God. She's something else, bro. She's something else. And she knows what she's doing too, 100%. Yeah. I think these guys too, the guys specifically, they really try to tread carefully because, like, guys have a stigma, especially, like being on a show like this, that they're like Playboys, Right. So they Think they kind of preserve themselves a little bit because that girl, bro, she did something. Can I just tell you?
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
Because it doesn't really matter too much. They're both blindfolded. Two guys are blindfolded. One of them being sincere and one of them being a new bombshell guy, which I don't think you're at. Only on episode two, which is like a good looking guy too. She's trying to figure out who's who. That's like the challenge. Like, see if she can figure out if she can identify who her partner is.
Jessica
Blindfolded.
Sebastian
Yeah, she's also blindfolded. So sorry, she's blindfolded. The guys are not.
Josh
Oh.
Sebastian
And she's going around this gigantic bed trying to figure out her partner. And of course they all make out with each other. Have you seen this? So she gets to sincere, she kisses him, and sincere is like the only guy with like super long hair like this. So you. All you could do is just bring your hands up, you can figure out who your partner is.
Jessica
And she did.
Sebastian
And she did. She was like, okay. And then you're like, okay, she's going to like secure her partner and then she just goes to the next guy, starts making out with both of them. She's like, I don't know yet. I don't know yet. You don't know? Maybe it's him.
Jessica
Like.
Sebastian
And then like, Sincere is just like, what the fuck, bro? If he has. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I feel like he has every right to be fucking bothered as shit by that 100%. And if he doesn't, dude, I'm going to be like, bro, you gotta stand your ground.
Jessica
If the roles were reversed, she would be.
Sebastian
Oh my God, I almost wish they were because that would make for great tv.
Josh
But I have a feeling he'll get his revenge.
Sebastian
I. I don't. I think so. I think so because there's these two bombshells that just entered the villa. Three technically. And I'm hoping that he ends up with one of these also.
Josh
Like, I feel like the bombshells are always a little bit hotter. Yeah, right. So the producers, like, saved, like, they even like the bombshells probably like applied to cast for the main. The main kind of like first come. But they're like, nah, you're better off being a bomb coming in and disrupting stuff because you got to be hotter. You have to be wanted more than the, than the rest.
Sebastian
Well, you're a bombshell, right? Like that. It's like implied that like you.
Josh
Cause, well, I always thought being a bombshell was just like just being the new person. Right, but it's being the new hot person.
Sebastian
No, I think like bombshells. Like, dude, that girl's a. That person's a bombshell. It's like they're super hot.
Josh
Yeah, right? Yeah, no, yeah. But I've enjoyed the first two episodes.
Sebastian
Yeah. The girl who is the athlete with her. What's her name?
Jessica
Bet?
Sebastian
Oh, yeah, Beatrice.
Josh
She.
Sebastian
I don't know either, man. I'm being honest, I don't know.
Jessica
I didn't know in the beginning. She's growing on me.
Sebastian
She's growing on you?
Josh
She's growing on me for sure.
Sebastian
Do you think she's going to end up with Danielle? What's his name? I always forget.
Jessica
Gan.
Sebastian
Oh, yeah.
Jessica
No, no, no.
Sebastian
I don't think so either.
Jessica
I think everybody's still. It's still so early. Like.
Josh
Yeah. Who's that girl? The one, the bottom left.
Sebastian
She didn't make it. She didn't make it. She didn't make it to like the first episode, bro. Oh, I think she was. She got caught singing like racial slurs or something.
Josh
Oh, that's crazy.
Sebastian
Crazy. Cuz they do a lot of work before you get brought onto the show, right? Like, I'm sure they're going to do background checks, all that stuff. But it isn't until like they get on the show and then like all this shit really kind of starts being released about them that they really see who these people really are.
Jessica
Like people on social media just dig deep to find out.
Sebastian
That's crazy, dude. So I've talked about this before, but I got casted to do Love Island. I went pretty far in like the process. But like, as I've gotten, maybe this is just. I'm older now and I know this is a great opportunity for people if you're trying to make it in like social media and like you're trying to get your name out there. But I could never do a show like this, bro. Never. Never. Like just looking at it like now I'm like, bro, I could never do this. Obviously I'm in a committed, healthy, loving relationship. So aside from that.
Josh
But. Yeah, but if you ask the guys that they would be like, this is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Sebastian
Yeah, but I think you got to be like, at a certain age and like at a certain pocket in your life.
Josh
Because, dude, like, you weren't in that pocket when you were getting casted.
Sebastian
Yes, I think I could have done It. Yeah, yeah, I could have done it. But you have to be in a certain, like, pocket.
Josh
Yeah. But yeah, you have to have like.
Sebastian
Because you. Bro. You know how they say, like, you have nothing to lose. You have a lot to lose going on that show. You know what I mean? Or a lot.
Josh
So much to gain depends on how you. Yeah, I mean, it's like a win or lose. The win or lose from the. The grand prize or whatnot from Love Island. I mean, everybody wins. Really.
Sebastian
For sure. The exposure that it causes. I. What I love on Tik Tok, my whole Tik Tok is like, Love Island. Tik Tok. But it's like learning these little fun facts about Love Island. For example, like, they do. They never know what time it is, so they. They even on their phones, they remove the clock. Because from what I heard is that sometimes when they do these challenges or they're doing like, recouplings, they take a long time to film and they just don't want like the cast to like, lose energy. And like, it's like a psychological thing. Because sometimes I've heard that they go filming till like 4am, bro, and they're just shooting and they're just getting like, you know, different shots, different takes. You know, it doesn't seem like it's produced, but I think the show is. It's heavily produced.
Jessica
Yeah.
Josh
It amazes me of how many cameras there are in that area, how they can flip the edit and same day post it. Yeah, technically, yeah.
Sebastian
They're probably editing live.
Josh
Yeah, 100%. Yeah. And they're doing such a good job at it.
Sebastian
And then the guy who commentates, he's br.
Josh
He's the. I think if it wasn't for that guy, the show would lose wittiness. And he's just so good.
Sebastian
Yeah, yeah. It's so clever too. Cuz you're like, where's he going with this? And then it'll be like, it'll lead into something that they say. Like he said the other day, like, she's getting over me talking, like. And then she. The girl, she's like, oh, finally. And then she's like referencing something completely different. But he like ties it to himself.
Josh
That guy that has that voice has to be in Fiji doing the voiceovers. Yeah, he's there.
Jessica
Right.
Sebastian
Just so you know, it's the same guy who does all of them. He does the uk, he does this show. He doesn't stop, bro.
Josh
Yeah, I remember it was like two guys, one girl. They were all sitting around and then it Basically said something like, oh, here they are. This and that, sitting in a really, really tiny beach. And it's only because the chairs are surrounded by a little thing of sand.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
It was like. She's like. I'm like, that's really funny.
Sebastian
That's funny. I. I'm curious, like, his work process, like, does he see the episode already done, and then he's just kind of going in and commenting.
Josh
Depends on. Depends on how he likes to work. You know, me and you like to freestyle, so he probably freestyles that too, you know.
Sebastian
Dude, the show. The show is brilliant, man. I'm.
Lu
I'll.
Sebastian
I'll go as far as saying that it's a brilliant dating show, bro.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
Every single day, they. And they. They keep you hooked every day, bro. And the way they, like, bring in the. The bombshells and the characters and the casting, I'm like, bro, they do a really good job.
Josh
Yeah. Karen went to this Maybelline event recently, and they hosted basically the first Love island episode premiere. It was a bunch of Love island people there. And she said that she met.
Jessica
Oh, Miguel.
Josh
No, no, the one that he.
Sebastian
He.
Josh
Last year. I think he's Puerto Rican. Yeah, I just had it in my mind the other day. Anyways, she met him, and because he's a runner, so they were, like, chatting up about running and stuff like that, and turns out he's a big Salute fan, he knows who we are, and blah, blah, blah. She was saying that, like, he should come on the podcast.
Lu
Fuck yeah.
Sebastian
If we just learned his name. Brian.
Josh
Brian. Brian.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
And then Karen's like, he's so fucking tall. Really? That's what. That's what. That's what she said. Oh, and you know what? I was with Nick for some Bacardi thing not so long ago for the VMAs last year. Great guy. Very nice, Very cool. Cool, down to earth guy. Cracks jokes. Very nice guy. And next to, like, what's tall? Probably your height.
Sebastian
Oh, okay.
Josh
Maybe a little shorter than you.
Sebastian
Got it.
Josh
But Segun Brian, I think, is as tall as you.
Sebastian
Oh, wow.
Josh
Yeah, but it doesn't look like they're that tall.
Sebastian
No tv. No. I mean, I would love to get Brian on the podcast. He actually might be at the Salute event.
Josh
There you go. That'll be fun. Yeah, that'll be fun.
Sebastian
But, yeah, great show. If you guys enjoy these conversations of Love island, let us know so we can keep talking about it, because I'm sure they do. I love this shit, bro. I love this shit. It's like so fun to watch, man.
Jessica
It's the first time I watch, like, as it's happening and not trying to catch up.
Josh
Oh, yeah, Already good.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Jessica
First time that I actually sit down and, like.
Sebastian
So today is, like, an actual voting. So since you're watching it live, you can actually vote today.
Jessica
Okay.
Sebastian
Yeah. Try to do it because it's fun. It just gets you more like.
Josh
Yeah. So someone's getting kicked out today.
Sebastian
Yeah, I think so. Or you're voting for, like, your favorite couple or something like that. Yeah.
Josh
The best part, last year. This is last time. This is the probably the last thing we say about the violin. The best part is when it was like, a couple and another couple, and the audience gets to vote who they want together. And they would. And they have to do it and they would separate them, and then they're kind of like, what the. You know? Yeah, that was the best.
Sebastian
I remember last season, they did something like this where they. They told you who their favorite couple was, and that's the first time that the islanders heard, like, what the public is thinking about them. So I noticed that once they found out, like, oh, they're the ranked. The number one.
Josh
Demeanor changes. Yes.
Sebastian
They're more interested because they're like, oh, wait, we're favorited. Like, we gotta do this. We gotta play this. You know?
Josh
It's crazy. They just don't know.
Sebastian
They don't know what's happening, bro. They have no communication with the outside
Josh
world, which is good.
Sebastian
Cool.
Josh
Yeah, it's good.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
It's good for the. For the show. Because imagine if you did, then you'd think you're hot shit.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Jessica
It's like sequestering a jury.
Josh
Yeah.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
100%.
Sebastian
What's the longest you would want, like, if you could take a break from, like, all social media and, like, just kind of be secluded with no worries. Like, what's the longest you'd want to go? Because there comes to a point where you're like, okay, I need some kind of communication. You know? They're like, hey, look, I'm. I'm this genie, and I'm going to put you and your wife Sevas on this, like, beautiful island. Right?
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
And you guys can, like, be together. You can have your alone. Alone time, but we're going to remove all social contact from you guys. Like, no phones, no Internet. You can't. You can't ask me about how your mom's doing.
Lu
Nothing.
Josh
Damn.
Sebastian
That Your only occupation is just to live and just to be present.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
How long you think you can Go.
Josh
Well, shit, if you took my family out the picture, I can do, like, two months.
Sebastian
Yeah, that seems about right.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
I was gonna say six months, but once you said, like, I can't even talk to my mom or my dad.
Sebastian
Your mom or dad, bro.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
No, that's a long time. And not only because it's not just that I can't. It's like, I don't want them to suffer that.
Sebastian
That's true. That's true.
Josh
Right. It's more like, why would I make them not talk to me, you know?
Sebastian
Okay. What if you could talk to your parents?
Josh
Oh. Like six months to a year, bro. Bro. Chilling, bro. You know me, bro. I stay in the moment.
Sebastian
All right. You know me, bro.
Josh
You know, I'm a very, you know,
Sebastian
I am the moment. What about you guys? Same question. I'm a genius. Genie in the bottom.
Jessica
I don't know. I like the idea of, like, a month, but I probably wouldn't last a month.
Sebastian
I know that's a long time. Maybe two weeks, comfortably, where you're like, okay, I enjoyed this. This is nice.
Jessica
Yeah.
Sebastian
Knowing that it's, like, right there, like, you're gonna be able to talk.
Jessica
Yeah. Cause I feel like it does take some time to realize that, like, you're disconnected and to adjust, you know? And, like, I wanna do that. And then also enjoy the disconnect from social media. Yeah.
Josh
But just put yourself in the. These shoes. Like. Like, me and Josh, we've been doing this for such a long time. This is like our job. We breathe social media, creating content for brands, dealing with the. The. The back end of brands and YouTube and Instagram for decades. You would want that six a year. I personally think so.
Jessica
I would want to what?
Josh
Like, take a break for, like, six months?
Jessica
Oh.
Josh
You know what I mean? Like, that's why I would say so. We're doing it for so long, you know?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
A month would. A month wouldn't really do much for me. Two months wouldn't do much. I would have to, like, really dip to really feel it.
Sebastian
Because you're tying in the work aspect to it.
Josh
Everything. Yeah. It's not. Yeah.
Sebastian
Like, you got to consider that for sure.
Josh
Yeah. Like, being on my phone, like, that's no big deal. Like, whatever, you know?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
But, like, for me, I think about. It's like, damn. Like, we've been doing it. I love it, obviously.
Jessica
Yeah.
Josh
But, like, I would do, like, six months, but I don't know if I would want to be in an island that's. It'll get boring.
Sebastian
Yeah, that's true.
Josh
Like flobby smelling like ass. And what about you?
Lu
So I think for me, if everything's back to normal.
Josh
Yeah. Yeah.
Lu
I think I can do two months.
Sebastian
Yeah, two months.
Lu
Yeah. After that because I am really addicted to my phone.
Sebastian
I feel like I'm gonna get like anti it.
Lu
Really?
Josh
That's the point.
Sebastian
So it's supposed to be like a reset. Like it's a reset.
Josh
Yeah, bro.
Sebastian
Like I think about this all the time. Sorry. I know we're going to talk about the World cup, guys. We're talking about the World cup. So stay.
Josh
Hold, hold on, hold on.
Sebastian
Dude, I am, I am like embarrassed to admit this, but like I'm pretty like addicted to my phone in different regards, not just social media. But I'm checking it always. I'm like, look going on slack. Even if it's work stuff, like I'm just, I'm checking it.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
I'm like, is this me for ever? It could be like, am I just addicted to my phone forever now?
Josh
It could be that you have to, you have to make that change. If you don't want, if you don't want to live like that forever. You got to figure that out for yourself.
Sebastian
The thing is like just. Have you said how old you are like on.
Jessica
I don't know, but it's fine.
Sebastian
Like do you see yourself on Instagram scrolling like when you're 50?
Josh
Oh, I, I, I, I, I do. It's a normal thing.
Sebastian
But then at first I was just saying, well no, cuz we're 50, we're in.
Josh
No, it's a normal thing.
Sebastian
But like I think about my mom. My mom's constantly shooting me hard eyes, bro.
Jessica
Yeah.
Josh
My mom is always on Instagram like checking on, on me. Yeah, it's just like, you know, like it's. I don't like saying it's like an older generation who's on it. But like Facebook people are still on it, like posting heavily. It's a, it's a lifestyle now being on social media. It's not just like a young person thing.
Sebastian
You know what I've started noticing the trend right now is these like older people, like 50s, 60s, they're like learning about AI and they're. You've seen this dude, like your thea. Like even people like I'm close to like they use AI as like their post thinking that they, it's like people believe them.
Josh
Yes.
Sebastian
Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Yeah. And it's like, dude, this is, we can Tell this AI. Yeah, I.
Josh
We can tell. A lot of people can. That's the scary thing about AI.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
It doesn't fool you, but it fools millions.
Sebastian
My mom has a friend who, like, does, like, business, and she uses, like, these AI videos to promote her business. But it's like, her. And it's, like, so weird. And I'm like, really? And I told my mom. I was like, mom, please do not do this. Do not do this. Don't fall into this, like, trap.
Josh
Yeah. And, bro, I didn't tell you the story. Remember when we went. When we did the live show in Chicago and I brought my mom?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
On the plane or, like, at the airport, she goes, yeah.
Sebastian
Oh, yeah. He did tell me this.
Josh
And then I was like, what? What happened? He adopted a kid from Africa. And I said, what? How? I mean, cool, right?
Sebastian
Like, but how do you know this?
Josh
But I bet I put. I said, ahmed, by the way, my mom doesn't talk like that. I don't know why I talk like that. And I was like. Immediately, I was like, she probably got tricked by AI. I was like, she shows me the picture. It's Mookie Bats in a full Dodger jersey and outfit clean as clean, like, never worn, Right. Mookie Bets surround. He's like, in an African jungle clean jersey. There's mud everywhere. So immediately, how is the jersey still clean holding kids like this? And it looks real. And I'm like, mom, this is AI. And I told like, why is he wearing his whole Dodger uniform in a jungle? And she goes, I guess you're right. I was like, mom, like, what? But it's crazy. Like, she literally thought that that was a real thing.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
And imagine all the other that they think is real.
Lu
My mom told me, did you hear Grupo Frontera passed away in a plane accident?
Josh
Oh, my God. I'm like, what? I was like, I would have.
Lu
This would have came up on my.
Sebastian
On our page immediately.
Josh
Yeah. Yeah.
Lu
You just had to Google it.
Josh
Yeah, that's it.
Sebastian
And then she saw, like, an AI thing or something.
Lu
She saw an AI thing, and it was like an AI of someone crying. It was like a whole news AI, AI thing.
Josh
I was like, oh, my God, dude. Literally, Tom mom, why the would. Mookie Bets were a full on Dodger uniform, clean as la Blanca, and he's surrounded by modern Africa holding two kids. Yeah.
Sebastian
That's wild.
Josh
Like, it's not true, Mom. I. And Serio. Yeah. I'm like, I. I. And then the. And then. And then
Sebastian
the.
Josh
They caught El Mencho. And everything was going like, ape.
Sebastian
Yeah. Okay.
Josh
Somebody aied one of the airplanes there and told it to catch on fire. And there was an airplane. Like, it was like, imagine if you were, like, waiting at your gate and, you know, the windows and you can see airplanes outside. Someone took a picture, probably told chat to, like, set it on fire. Like, if it's just, like, burning. And they uploaded that and everybody thought that they're setting airplanes on fire and. Oh, my God. Yeah, like what? Like, yeah, it's scary. That's why, like, we don't look at us. Yeah, it's whatever, you know? But that's why people say it's so scary, because there's just so much fake news out there. I just like the ones where it's like the dogs are dancing and like. Yeah, like. Yeah, like, my favorite videos right now are, like, when you go into your. When you go outside and your dog's just dancing on a rail and he's just dancing. He's like, this sounds like the funniest ever. But yeah, man, AI is definitely scary.
Sebastian
I think that there's going to be, like, AI blockers eventually created, right, where, like, you can block any kind of AI from your phone.
Josh
I think it's already happening.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Lu
Yeah, I heard if you go on Google and you search something and then you, at the end you put minus AI, you get the original Google that didn't have the Google Gemini thing.
Sebastian
Oh, damn.
Josh
I mean, I fuck with AI, man. I use it every day.
Sebastian
Yeah. So do you think that they're using AI to like, like, cure cancer and stuff?
Josh
You know what I mean?
Sebastian
Like, is. Is like.
Josh
I don't know.
Sebastian
Because if humans can't figure it out, like, could. Can we depend on AI to potentially get there for us?
Josh
Maybe we're not depending on it, but we're definitely using it, like, instead of, like. I don't know, because obviously I'm not in that field. But I mean, we now have the power to conduct maybe trials and samples and, and. And. And like, like, for example, instead of like, like, almost kind of like, it's not like coding, but like, without AI, you would have to go through, like, trials and tribulations to find some sort of answer. Right? But now they just send it to AI and that it just gives them the answers, but it's not always right. It's not always right, but, like, or they can. It'll give them, like, patterns of, like, what can happen. Do you know what I mean? Instead of doing it yourself. So I think AI has Accelerated, maybe. Progress, for sure. It has.
Sebastian
That's pretty cool.
Josh
Yeah, it's cool. I mean, it. It. It has its ups and downs, but I think. I think it has more ups and downs, to be honest.
Sebastian
More ups than downs.
Josh
More ups than downs? Yeah. Like.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Better stuffs ups than. Than. Than down than the negative. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the negative. Like Mookie bets. Yeah, no, so, yeah, I. I use it all the time. I think it's genius, to be honest. I think the fact that a human created that is remarkable. Yeah.
Sebastian
You know what chips me out? It's crazy where, like, we have all this like, technology in. In this lifetime, but like, it's still like, it was always this. Bear with me here, okay. It was always on this Earth.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
Like, you know what I mean? I think we've talked about.
Josh
Yeah, it's just here.
Sebastian
So like 35,000 years ago, they've had the same ability to create technology, but just. I think it just takes like human.
Josh
Well, humans have to evolve to be smarter. Yeah, yeah. And this is a known thing, and it only makes sense. And Sebast made this up. But the more technology we have, the faster technology we have. Yeah, right. So, like, the greater. Like when the iPhone came out, more came out because of the iPhone and more technology and software and updates and. Yeah, AI. Now that we have AI, technology would just evolve even faster, bro. Back in the day, like, the technology that they had was. Was nothing. And it stayed like that for a long time until we made some remark progress.
Sebastian
Basically the Internet.
Josh
Basically the Internet. And then boom. It just, you know, we are somewhere completely different than where. Where we were at before.
Sebastian
What's interesting is that there's kind of a contradiction where you're like, as humans evolve, we become essentially smarter.
Josh
Uhhuh. Right.
Sebastian
But then you have situations like the pyramids of Giza, and to this day, we don't know how they were built.
Josh
Yeah, that's another.
Sebastian
So, like, I'm like, so are we smarter or are we dumber? Well, they like, how did we figure that out then?
Josh
A lot of people say that that era in life was so advanced and it just restart. A human human revolution rebooted. And I don't know why, but I do believe. And I told you. You haven't seen the movie, huh? Bonia?
Sebastian
No.
Josh
Watch it, please.
Sebastian
You guys seen it?
Josh
No, like, watch Bugonia. Like, it's almost kind of like that. Well, yeah, where it's like, you know, humans rebooted and they kind of had a need to start over.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
You know, it's it's interesting. Really interesting movie.
Sebastian
So is it, like, you know how we have technology right now? Did they have something else that was, like, their version of technology?
Josh
They might have had technology. They might have had energy sources from other outside space. Light. They would use light, energy. I don't know. I mean, there are so many. I mean, I look at life as a big game of telephone. Right. Like, even religion. I believe that it's like a huge game of telephone, you know? And that's why all religions are slightly the same, but slightly different. Sure. Right. So, like, you'll hear like, even like an Aztec or. Or. Or a culture. Like, you'll hear like, oh, this is a jade and jades. You know, back then, they would use them for, like, this type of energy or it would bring you something, you know, and you think about that right now. If you go to, like, a museum and they tell you that, you're, like, cool, you know? Yeah, but what about if you really dive in deep? What about if it did? You know what I mean? We don't use rocks anymore. Stones, emeralds, like these. I mean, I'm just going on a tangent right now, but, you know, like. But you know what I mean, like, there's. There's like, that's how people lived.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Like back in the day, when you're sick or you're doing this or. Or rituals, they would use some sort of stones. Plants. Yeah, like that. Like natural, organic. And now that doesn't exist. That almost seems like just a fairy tale to you. But I don't know, maybe humans were more with one with the world and the energy that this Earth brings.
Jessica
On that specific note, actually, great segue into. There's like, a whole conspiracy theory that I've seen pop up on, like, my social media right now. And it's that ancient civilizations, like, the way that they're structured and the buildings and, like, laid out matches with the motherboard that operates a construction computer. Oh. So, like, this is. This is an ancient ruin up here. But, like, this is a computer part.
Sebastian
Whoa.
Jessica
And it's literally like mirror. Yeah, they're exactly the same. So it's just kind of like the conspiracy is that, you know, these ancient civilizations were harnessing the power of Earth and energy and, like, use. Like, why. Why do they look almost identical?
Sebastian
What is this on to the left?
Jessica
This is. Oh, I don't know, bro.
Sebastian
If this is true, though, that's like.
Josh
I mean, it is true. Is it true? True, like, as in, like, is there.
Jessica
This is the Tiwakan Yeah, like Mexico City. And this is a computer motherboard. Like, tell me that's not the same.
Sebastian
Yeah, that's identical.
Jessica
So it's just. I don't know. I think, I definitely do think that these ancient civilizations, although what we consider advanced technology, didn't exist back then. I do think they're way more.
Sebastian
But I think they were advanced.
Josh
Yeah, they were. I mean, if you go to. I mean, if you go and do these tours like in, you know, like I went to Te Wan and there was so much magic there. There was so much things that you can do. I mean, humans didn't have the computers and the technology, like electronics and AI, but what they had is, is, is their surroundings and, and trial, trial and error. I mean, there's, there's buildings in Tekan that are made out of stone, but the guy will tell you like, hey, whisper something in that corner and I can hear you 500ft this way.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
So it's like they just figured out they were more with. They were more one with themselves and with the world. You know what I mean? Like, they would believe in drinking blood and they would believe and, and, and, and chopping your head off and using that blood to do something, you know what I mean? Like, it was definitely more like spiritual and you know, there's some places still in the world where we're very spiritual. But, you know, it died. It watered down a bit. Yeah. You know.
Jessica
Yeah.
Sebastian
It's interesting.
Josh
Dude. Imagine us like in the, like the movie Apocalypto. Like those times. That's scary.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
People forget how good we have it now. We can just go to a drive through and order a cheeseburger.
Sebastian
Yeah, I was even, I would even. That's a good point. But. Because like they were even saying like people like royalty, like the richest, the most popular, the most powerful people didn't have the luxury that we like a normal person would have nowadays. 100 and see plumbing, Internet, like even just like that.
Josh
Ah, man.
Sebastian
It's like we're living like beyond royalty.
Josh
Bro. Bro. It's crazy. It is crazy. It's a beautiful thing, human evolution. It's, it's, it's wild. Who knows what will be 10 years from now, 20 years from now, a hundred years from now. It's insane. By the way, it's summer. It hasn't even been hot.
Sebastian
It's not summer yet.
Josh
Oh, it's not? Not yet. When is it summer?
Sebastian
When the challenge ends. Remember? That was the whole thing that we.
Josh
That's when it starts. Summer.
Sebastian
Yeah. 21st I think that's the first day of summer.
Josh
Oh. Because it hasn't been hot at all.
Sebastian
Not scorching?
Josh
No. I feel like it should already be scorching. No. Or not yet?
Sebastian
Not yet, but we're getting there.
Josh
Okay.
Sebastian
It's brewing.
Josh
I'm waiting. Because I don't like that.
Sebastian
Yeah. You're wearing a full on sweat. It's also cold in here.
Jessica
Yeah.
Josh
You know, AC is blasting at 51.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Cool.
Sebastian
Should we talk about the World Cup? It's here, guys.
Josh
I think we should. Here.
Sebastian
World cup is here.
Josh
World cup is here. Today is Tuesday, Thursday. In a couple days, Mexico plays South Korea. No, South Africa. Yeah, South Africa. Right, South Africa. And videos are now surfacing the Internet of what's going on in places like Guadalajara, Jalisco, or in this case Amatitan. Jalisco, which people think cantaritos, agueros and tequila. But you're wrong. It's in Amatitan. Check out this video.
Sebastian
Oh, look, dude, look at this. This guy is so happy.
Josh
Okay, so player 100. He's seen it online, right?
Sebastian
Oh, it's just the people that are
Josh
people are now coming to Mexico and enjoying the Mexican culture and how cool it is and how accepting we are to every single race There is. I love, and I ain't going to lie, I go lie when Mexicans see an Asian man. Mexicans love Asian people. Can we just say that? Like we love it. And it's an amazing thing to see this because that's something that we traditionally do all the time when we're super fucking faded. And now we're doing it to them and they're having a great fucking time. And when he goes back home to wherever he's from. Oh, my God. That's the beauty of Mexico.
Sebastian
That's the beauty of like the World cup, right? It's like the one country hosts it. I guess in this situation, multiple countries, right? It's three countries that are hosting it.
Lu
Yeah.
Sebastian
It's only Mexico, United States and Canada.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
Right. But people from all over the world are coming to like support their country. So now they get to be immersed in like other culture. And this makes me happy because now I haven't felt in like the super World cup spirit. I'm like seeing this, this is happening around the world right now, or I guess in these like three countries. I'm like, this is beautiful, bro.
Josh
It is, man. It really is. I love seeing it. As you guys know, my mom is from Jalisco, so me growing up, I used to go to Montitan all the time. Let's just call it tequila. Which it is technically tequila, but it's not. But it's so cool to see this, you know what I mean? Like the fucking.
Sebastian
Have you ever done this?
Josh
Of course, brother. Of course. Before it was cool, man. Now it's like cantarito silgaro. It's just like almost like a monument. You gotta go, you know, and it's so much fun. And I mean, the way that you get wasted there is insane. You can get a little cantarito, you can get a big one, or you
Sebastian
can get a monster.
Josh
Monster. I'm talking like they got three bottles, four bottles, and they're just swigging it like that. Squirt. Maybe more. It just depends on how you want it. And the people that work there is really what makes it special.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
You know, it's just such. Such good vibes there. So that. That's really cool, man. He. Him and his friends are having such a good time and they're gonna have the worst hangover. Yep.
Sebastian
100.
Josh
No worries. Because when you mix soda con tequila, you're man.
Sebastian
Oh, yeah. All that sugar and. Oh, yeah.
Josh
I once, I'm not gonna lie, once I was in a cantarito's. There was a guy there, he was so smashed, he took that size maseta, the big ass canarito, and he told his friend to smash it over his head. And if you don't know, they don't do it anymore. Maybe like some super pueblos do it still. But they used to make pinatas out of baro bo, which is what the canaritos are made out of, which is clay, right?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
So back in the day, pinatas nowadays, soft.
Sebastian
Are you gonna tell us what happened to this guy?
Josh
Oh, then he got knocked out.
Sebastian
He's.
Josh
I didn't think I had to tell you what was gonna happen.
Sebastian
But he's still alive.
Josh
He knocked out. Oh, yeah. He woke up maybe like 30 seconds later and he started drinking again. Wow. I'm telling you, I never seen a maseta delvaro just explode. It's just all over, bro. It was. It was fantastic, man. I was like, yeah, I'm in Mexico. Shout out to that guy. Yeah. Mexican dude. Yeah. Seems like he probably did a couple times already. It wasn't his first time. No, not at all.
Lu
No, no.
Josh
But yeah, back then the pinatas were made out of bottle. And that was a good time because you know when you go hit a pinata.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Your mom's all like, you know, cuz You're. Yeah, I don't like it when you're not blindfolded. Some people like. Okay, look, let me just say this. Mexicans don't care that you wear a sombrero, that you celebrate culture and you're not Mexican. We love seeing it. Right?
Sebastian
Sure.
Josh
People always be like, oh, that's cultural. What is this? What does it say?
Sebastian
Cultural appropriation.
Josh
This appropriation. Yeah. See, I don't even care what it is because we don't care. We love seeing it. Mexicans love seeing our culture spread out through all types of ethnicities and other cultures. But when I do see other cultures and they're doing it, it makes me happy. But I don't like seeing it when you're not blindfolded, son. Like bringing up another breaking a pinata. You have to be blindfolded for a pinata.
Sebastian
Okay, ok. Yeah.
Josh
If you're doing it and you're looking at it, what's the point? That's easy.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
You got a D. Right.
Sebastian
Blindfolded, Us trying to smack you with the.
Josh
Before all that happens, take a shot and someone needs to spin you the amount of times that. That how old you are. This ain't no game.
Sebastian
No, it's not a game.
Josh
Okay. Make sure you clip this out because this is very serious.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Because people need to know because I be seeing online now and it's like a thing and people are smacking pinatas and we're going to see it more often because of the World Cup.
Sebastian
Ye.
Josh
And I get it. You spin. And if you're older than five, you're getting whatever your age is. If you're younger than five, we're spinning you five times, little boy.
Lu
Okay.
Josh
Okay. And you're taking a shot blindfolded. As double blindfolded. Okay. And that's it, man. And you got to hit it with a broomstick.
Sebastian
Yeah, that's mando.
Josh
Yeah. It doesn't have to be that. It can't be like a bat. Like the. Cool. The thing about hitting a pinata is.
Jessica
Yeah.
Josh
There's candy and everybody eats and that. No, it's about danger.
Sebastian
When you hit a pinata, your life should be on.
Josh
Your life should be on the line. And so is your little sisters and your cousin and your mom.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
And when you hit that broomstick, we hope that that cracks in half and shards fly through your family and hits your grandma. Because that is a real pinata. That. Yeah, you're right.
Lu
Oh, sorry. I have another question. So there's going to be a lot of foreigners Coming to the. Coming to Los Angeles. Cuz we're a host city.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Lu
For those foreigners what is an LA day they should experience.
Josh
Dang, that's good. It's a good one, man.
Sebastian
LA specifically. Right. Because they're going to be hosting at SoFi, which is in Englood. So something to consider. There will be traffic. So plan for that. Is it one day? Just one. The perfect day. Game starts at 6:00pm you're going to the game at SoFi?
Lu
Yeah, they want to have the Los Angeles experience.
Jessica
Have lunch at In N Out.
Sebastian
Yes. Lunch at In N Out Mando. Especially if it's your first time. Yeah, I like the beach. Like a Malibu Drive. I think it's something like I'm gonna say if people say Malibu Drive or a Hollywood. What is it? Hollywood Boulevard. Like where all the stars are at. I say go to Malibu.
Josh
Malibu. Yeah. Or if you're staying in Santa Monica. Santa Monica. That area. That.
Sebastian
But even that's so touristy, bro. Like the pier or that walk area?
Josh
No, the Walker with all the restaurants and stuff like that. That's really nice.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
I would maybe hit up Connie's in Inglewood, the seafood spot and pregame it there before you go to the game. But that might be a little low key. Great food.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
I mean damn. It just has to be everything soccer related. I don't want to like tell you to go somewhere else because it's too far and you just be in traffic all day. Oh, it's gonna be nuts, bro. I can't. I just realized that I live here and I will suffer that traffic.
Sebastian
Are you going to the game on Friday? The USA game?
Josh
No, no, no, no, no. Because on Friday my sister graduates from UC Davis. That's what I'm telling you. My whole family's in town, so.
Sebastian
Wow.
Josh
But no, I'm not.
Sebastian
Is it is only. Are we only hosting it at SoFi? All the games that LA is hosting is only at sofa.
Lu
Yeah. Yeah. All the games will be as. All the Los Angeles games would be sofi.
Josh
San Diego's not hosting anything.
Lu
No.
Josh
Oh wow. Interesting.
Sebastian
What's the next like state over like
Lu
closest to us up north. Seattle.
Sebastian
Seattle's hosting.
Josh
Oh that's cool.
Lu
On the west coast. Oh no, the Bay is. Is hosting.
Sebastian
Levi.
Lu
Seattle. Yeah, Seattle. Levi's Sofi. Dude.
Sebastian
That's a lot of traveling the players are going to be doing.
Lu
Yeah. Which is. This is the like usually World Cups are way smaller so foreigners they're going to find out like oh dang. The United States is really big.
Sebastian
Wow.
Josh
Yeah, it is. That's crazy. Cuz like, if it was like in Europe or something, it's just like point A to B, a train everywhere, which is so cool.
Sebastian
So do they do it like when Europe hosts it, is it all of Europe or how do they do it? Is it like Italy?
Lu
It's a specific country.
Josh
Okay, okay, okay, bro. North America is just so spread apart and it's not like they're using just. The United States is using all of North America. Like, like, like last time it was in Qatar, you know, Qatar is huge, but it's just like a huge. And you know, it's. You can go, you can move around and you know, the. I don't think the stadiums are too far from each other and I think
Lu
that's why you can't really feel the World cup atmosphere just because there's so much space to cover.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
So it's like a good thing and a bad thing.
Josh
Yeah. I wonder how the players feel about it. We should have asked Marco Fabian about that. I know, man.
Sebastian
Blew it, bro.
Josh
Blew it, bro. Blew it. But yeah, I would definitely. Damn. I don't know, there's just so much things to do. I would honestly, like, enjoy the beach. Like, beach is cool, I think, like Hermosa Beach.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
I'd go to Hermosa beach or super nice restaurants there, you know?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Hang out.
Sebastian
You know, there's people like in middle of America that have never seen the ocean, bro. Like, that's. They've never seen the ocean. Yeah, that blows my mind. Because obviously we grew up in la, so like, I'm get used to. I grew up in the ocean. Right. I wonder if, like the other countries kind of have that same experience too.
Josh
Right?
Sebastian
Like, if you're 100, they've never seen ocean. So like, coming to the Pacific Ocean.
Josh
Yeah.
Sebastian
Is like very rare.
Josh
You know, I will back this up, but Los Angeles is, you know, it has its bad, but at the end of the day, it's. It's Southern California and there's nothing like it. Like, in Southern California, like, it's beautiful here. Like what it has to offer. Like, how can I explain this? What's the word I was looking for?
Lu
Diverse.
Josh
Yeah, like the diversity and stuff. But like, I guess geologically. Is that the word I'm kind of searching for? Like, there's nothing like it, bro. Yeah, I mean, I'm not trying to call him out. He doesn't live in the middle of nowhere. He doesn't. He lives in El Paso. But Alex, one time we were on the freeway and he was tripping out because.
Lu
About mountains.
Josh
Because he saw mountains on the freeway.
Sebastian
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
And he goes, bro, it's just kind of crazy that, like, you're on the freeway and then you see just mountains and. And greenery. And I'm like, you think that's crazy? I think it's crazy.
Sebastian
You said that. Yeah.
Josh
You know what I mean? And then it made me feel like, damn, you're right. Like, we do live in a beautiful area. My little brother was just in Montana. Loves it, thinks it's beautiful. But he says there ain't to do, you know? And he says that it's just like, there's mountains and stuff, and it's really beautiful. Oh, man, I can't wait to, you know, go to Montana. But he goes, it's just so different.
Sebastian
It's so funny. One time I had a friend visiting from, like, Michigan or something like that, and we were merging onto the freeway. I think it was right here in Burbank, too. Like, that free. What freeway is that? Doesn't matter.
Josh
210, 134.
Sebastian
And it's, like, really scenic. Like, mountains are, like, right?
Josh
Yeah, I love the 134.
Sebastian
We merged on and there was so much traffic. And I made, like, a comment. I'm like, oh, my God, traffic. And then he was like, bro, but this view. And then I was like, you idiot, we're in traffic. The view, bro.
Josh
But.
Sebastian
But I was like. And it really made me realize, I was like, wow. I'm like, perspective is everything, right? I immediately went to like, oh, my God, look at all traffic. And then he was like, look at this view, bro. Like, you. Like, this is the drive you get to sit in.
Josh
Yeah. I kind of want perspective tatted on me right here.
Sebastian
Perspective.
Josh
Perspective. Yeah, we use it. So much perspective of a man.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
You know what I mean? It's just like a word that always just like, is with us.
Sebastian
This is perspective of the World Cup.
Josh
Yeah. Yeah. What's next on the World cup predictions? Who's going all the way?
Lu
Okay.
Josh
Yeah. Obio. Like, I. I hope in a. In a fairy tale. In a fairy tale world, I hope Mexico goes all the way. I hope Mexico goes to the next stage and. And beyond. I'm rooting for Mexico. Mexico is in my blood. Ah. I have so many memories as a kid, just watching the World cup, watching the Gold cup, watching Amistad, like, just friendly ass games with my cousins and my family. I love it. Right?
Sebastian
Just. Yeah. They've never won the World Cup. They've never even made it past like the 16th round, if I'm not mistaken.
Josh
Yeah, they don't really go too far, but it's cool. And they have their moments. Right. But like, when they play like big teams and stuff and they win, like to us, that's just major. Right?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
But can I say something? And I. I'm being realistic and I think we're going to go pretty far. I hope that we do.
Sebastian
I think we will.
Josh
I think there's something in the air this year. You know, I like the players, I like how they look. Yeah, they just fucking mopped. What's it called? Like 51 or 4 1?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
I'm not saying that team is fucking. Is like playing England or France or Germany. I'm not saying that. But, you know, maybe they got a little chip on the shoulder. So I'm excited to see them play and route them on as hella lose on Thursday. Hopefully not.
Sebastian
No, I can't say that.
Josh
But they, at the end of the day is it's going to be. If you're not Mexican, you're going to be all rasad. We're all. And we're going to root for Mexico no matter what. Because let's be honest, the vibes, the World cup vibes, they're not here, they're over there. So.
Sebastian
In Mexico.
Josh
In Mexico, yeah. So I'm excited for that. But me being a soccer fan for. For quite a long time already, I'm not a mess, I am a messy fan, But I'm a CR7 fan. My boy. Why good looking aura.
Lu
Because he's cute.
Josh
One of the best strikers to ever live.
Sebastian
Attitude, attitude.
Josh
The way he.
Sebastian
The way he spends money, bro.
Josh
Not only that, but like, he's okay. Messi is. Is goaded for life, bro. There's nothing I can say about that. Yeah, of course, bro. Leonel Messi, bro. The goat, bro. Insane, bro. There's a lot of players who are like that, you know, Nobody's like Messi. Right? But what I respect what CR7 did, is he has conquered every single Liga he's been in. He's been with La Liga, which is Spanish. He's been with the Italian League, the Premier League. Can you say Messi has done that and on.
Lu
And also the Saudi league.
Josh
The Saudi league he conquers. He is a goat. And these aren't. I'm sorry, no, shade. This isn't the MLS we're talking about. This isn't. No, and I'm sorry again, but you know, he didn't play in the Mexican League either, which is sick too. But he didn't play there. Italian Premier, Spanish, La Liga, bro. Those are the top three leagues in the world. And he conquered all of them.
Lu
You know this World Cup.
Sebastian
Did.
Josh
Did Messi play in Premier League?
Lu
He just did. Spain.
Josh
Just Spain.
Sebastian
Did he do. I mean he dominated.
Josh
Oh yeah, of course, bro. And he dominates the World cup always.
Lu
You know this World cup we could see Ronaldo versus Messi.
Sebastian
Yeah. Which has never happened like in a World Cup.
Lu
Yeah, I think even. Oh yeah, they used in Real Madrid, but in a World cup. Never. And this is their last World cup and it's gonna be their last time meeting to advance to I think the quarter.
Josh
Oh, okay.
Sebastian
So it wouldn't be for the finals?
Lu
No, it wouldn't be the final. It could be. No, it can't. It can't be. Cuz they're on the same side. But there could be a game if the heavens and the universe lines up. They could happen, dude.
Sebastian
Honestly, that would be magical.
Josh
So my whole thing is like I'm also rooting for Portugal cuz I really want to see CR7 like. Like who knows, maybe not get the. The chip. I hope that he does, but I want to see him go far, man. Because there's not going to be a. I believe that he's not coming back to another World Cup.
Sebastian
Here's my take.
Josh
And I think he's retiring.
Sebastian
I'm with you. That CR7 is my goat right over Messi. I like Messi. He has, from my understanding, he's more of like natural talent. Like he was kind of born with that gift of playing and versus like cr. Like really had to earn it. But his athletic ability is like unreal, bro. There was this TikTok trend that was going around where they put the ball where CR7 like did like the headbutt. And I saw people on the street trying to do it. And I mean people were like missing the ball by like, like, like three feet, bro. Like completely off. And just to kind of give you a perspective like what he was able to do athletically in a, in the middle of a match out of all things. You know what I mean?
Jessica
Yeah.
Sebastian
On top of that, he's just like his swagger is on a different level. You know, he just like moves differently. Yeah, he moves like, like the, like the, like that guy. And Messi's so humble, bro. And I love that.
Josh
Right?
Sebastian
And he's, he's. It's what makes him so great.
Josh
I love him, bro. Yeah. I have a Messi jersey I love Messi, but I would love to see
Jessica
see
Josh
Ronaldo take it, you know, I think that would just be such.
Sebastian
He's never won a World Cup. Messi, no. Ronaldo.
Lu
Yeah, yeah. Ronaldo has.
Josh
No, never.
Lu
That's why.
Josh
And Messi has only one.
Lu
Not go.
Josh
No, I think he's won 2 World Cup 1.
Sebastian
It's the most recent one.
Josh
The most recent. The recent one. Yeah. So I would love to see that, man. So my prediction is that Mexico takes it all the way, but if they don't, I hope.
Lu
I hope.
Josh
Cristiano Ronaldo, number seven, the go. I mean, I've been seeing him since he played with Manchester United, Real Madrid, the whole time, you know, and when he started playing with Interno. No, I'm sorry. Juventus. That was crazy because he went to go play with Juventus after just playing with Real Madrid for so long, you know, I mean, Ramadi was his. Was it?
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Is the team.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
So that was just crazy.
Lu
But I mean, that happened because he played Juventus, I think, in a Champions League, and he scored one of the best goals ever. Like a Chilena.
Sebastian
Like, oh, I just saw this.
Josh
I saw that one.
Jessica
Yeah.
Lu
Like a last minute Chilean. It was so good. The Juventus fans got up and started clapping.
Josh
Yeah, bro.
Lu
He's like, oh.
Josh
And then next season, I watched that game. I was in Toronto and I saw it in Toronto.
Sebastian
You saw it live.
Josh
Me and Robert were there. You can ask Robert. The sickest Chilena. It was the white jersey with the baby blue stripes
Sebastian
right down the middle.
Josh
Just pinchy centro. And just the cleanest. And. And on top of that,
Lu
and it was like, super high.
Josh
Like, super high. Can we. Can we pull that up?
Sebastian
Just if you want to get copyrighted again, but just for us.
Josh
No, just. Just for. Just for Josh Leyva.
Sebastian
I saw this. I saw. Dude, this is because right now, because the World cup, my whole, like, FYP is a love island. And World Cup.
Jessica
Yeah.
Josh
So if it gets taken down, we'll take it down. But that Ronaldo.
Lu
Yeah, Ronaldo.
Josh
Ronaldo. Versus Juventus Chilena.
Lu
Chile. Yeah. Versus Juventus. First one.
Josh
I mean, it was like the coolest goal I've ever seen in my life. I mean, everything just exploded.
Lu
Put that one.
Jessica
Yeah.
Josh
Marcelo. Boom. Carvajal. Carvajal.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
Oh, no, that's. Ronaldo misses it. I remember that. I think that's Carvajal. Yep.
Sebastian
Bro. The goalie didn't even know what to do.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
And he goes, look at. He points at Ramadri, just like number one. And he stands there like, what you Gotta say now, bro, that is the most. That's the sickest aura I've ever seen. Well, I'm telling you, it's Marcelo. Sergio Ramos, bro. Daniel Carvajal. It was crazy as team, bro. Boom. I remember when he shot that, I was like, oh, that's going in. He blocked it.
Sebastian
Boom, bro. To do that in the middle of a game is crazy.
Josh
No, not in the middle. Middle of game. A middle of a game. During the Champions, bro. The middle of a regular game. This is UEFA Champions League. Champions League. All the clubs play each other. From Italy, from the Premier League, everybody, they have the chance to compete. Like Champions League is like top of the top, like the World Cup. Well, kinda, but Loki, everything else, if you're a Champions League winner, that's something to brag about.
Lu
It's the second most watched tournament after it's World Cup Championship.
Josh
Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. Crazy great clip, dude.
Sebastian
Yeah, that's bad.
Josh
He just looks at the crowd and go, iconic.
Sebastian
Iconic.
Jessica
Well, do you guys watch the games in English or Spanish?
Josh
Spanish all day. I mean, if I don't have an option, sure, I'll watch it in English, but God damn, that changes the vibe.
Sebastian
100.
Josh
100, man. Even like my Theos and my mom, my dad, their vibes completely dead.
Sebastian
If it's in English.
Josh
If it's in English, Yeah.
Sebastian
Why is that?
Josh
There's no. I mean, there's emotion, but first of all, I don't know, maybe because I speak Spanish. So there's. There's a connection, there's a feeling that I get there. There's Spanish. There's the beauty about Spanish that I personally think shits on English is that there's passion behind words.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
You sing words when you talk. You can feel the words when you talk in English. Yeah, sure. You know, it's, it's cool. You know, I'm speaking English right now. Well, but in Spanish, I mean, the commentators just have such a way to use heart. Yeah, they use metaphors. You know, they, they, they, they sling it nasty. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, it's something that just hypes up the game so much more. And there's so much more like, ambition towards the game. There's so much, like, energy that's put on. You know what I mean? The commentators, I think the commentators that speak more in Spanish, it doesn't have to be Mexican, Spanish, even, like the ones from. I do like watching Champions, Champions games in English. So there's a famous guy, he's a Scottish guy. Oh, my God, the Way he talks is phenomenal. I would choose him over anybody, I swear to God. Great commentator. I gotta show it to you later. But overall, bro, Spanish, man, I mean, you see it online on Tick Tock. Like, the comparisons, like, it's. It's a no brainer.
Sebastian
It hits different.
Josh
It hits way different. So I'm watching it in Spanish. Always Telemundo, bro.
Lu
There it is.
Sebastian
I feel like Spanish is like a no brainer. It's just. It just. It's a whole different feel, bro.
Josh
Yeah, yeah.
Sebastian
It feels like I'm watching football versus, like, soccer.
Josh
Yeah, yeah. No, it's amazing, bro. There's no comparison. Yeah, no comparison. El. El Famoso. I think his name is
Sebastian
commentator.
Josh
Yeah. His Instagram is something, something. Kanta. He's famous. He's the most famous commentator.
Lu
The deep voice guy.
Josh
Yeah, yeah. Oh, famous soccer is Andres Cantor and his last name is Cantor.
Sebastian
That's crazy.
Lu
Which.
Josh
His Instagram is Andres Canta Football or something like that. Something like that. But man, he is play by play.
Sebastian
That's what he looks like.
Josh
Yeah, bro, he's like the most tender. I mean, he's a bigger guy, but he's like. He's sick, bro. He's so famous, bro. And it's crazy for K. Like, bro, he's 63 years old and he's Argentinian. Yeah, he's so cool, man. And his son also does the same.
Sebastian
Wow.
Josh
Yeah.
Jessica
Ken. In honor of Andres Cantor. I feel like he really did the goal, like, yell.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Jessica
So if you guys were commentators for the World cup in Spanish and you know, somebody scored a goal, I want to hear your guys' take on how. How you would like, you know.
Josh
Yeah. 100. So the thing that Andres does and you know, if you watch soccer, you know, this for. For a fact, is that, for example, let's just say Marco. Fabian. Marco. Fabian Alangulo. No, no. So it goes, I don't know, like Jar Borghetti. Mandal Centro. Marco. Fabian. Marco. Fabian. Marco. Fabian Alangulo. And then you can. He. He hits it. He hits the angulo. He makes the goal. And there's just two seconds of pause that Andres does. He goes. And everyone's going. And then all of a sudden you hear, go, Marco. So it's like, it's just such this moment of passion that's like he hits the back of the net and it's just not an automatic, like, go.
Sebastian
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
It's just like, like. Crowd erupts. He just waits for the crowd to erupt and boom, he hits it. Oh, I get the chills. It's beautiful. Soccer is a beautiful thing, man.
Sebastian
That was beautiful. Football, I think Teva's nailed it.
Lu
That.
Josh
You gotta say it, how you say it. We're good, man. What can we do?
Sebastian
Yeah, there it is.
Josh
Yeah. It's a beautiful thing, man. I can't wait.
Sebastian
It's. It's.
Josh
Man, I've been saying it since four years ago when, when I think they were playing. I like when they're like. Well, yeah, that's what he does too. It's like he says the long one first and then after that there's another pausing. Oh, I can't wait, bro. I can't wait for those words. Just never happened.
Sebastian
Not a single goal, not a single go.
Lu
Cool.
Josh
Oh, man. So, yeah, man.
Sebastian
So what do you think is more magical? You think soccer is more magical or baseball? Cuz there's some magic about baseball as well, bro.
Josh
Yeah, man. As a baseball fanatic that I am now, I don't know, man, I. I would just, I would still have to say football. Soccer. Yeah, it's. I mean, you're not going to compare, I don't know. Can you compare the World Series to the World Cup? The actual game?
Sebastian
Like, you know, the final.
Josh
Yeah, I mean, let. I mean, game seven, Toronto versus the Dodgers. I mean, you will never see that ever again. Yeah, that was a treat from the baseball gods. Here you go.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Enjoy this game. Yeah, it's very up and down. Game seven, bottom of the ninth type, you know.
Sebastian
Yeah, that's magic, bro.
Josh
It's magic. You know, but is baseball always like that? No, no, the World Series, low key, always is.
Lu
It's.
Josh
It's a beautiful thing. The World Series to me doesn't, you know, nothing compares to it. Not. I don't know, it's just. It's just crazy. Especially if, you know baseball. But I don't think anything in this world will ever compare to the magic of football. Soccer, like the World Cup. And I'm talking not just the actual game, I'm talking about the magic that it brings to the world. You know, the World Series is really not the world. It's mainly here a lot in Mexico too. Baseball is huge in Mexico and a lot of places, obviously. And now the MLB is taking things internationally. I mean, you're talking about. There's baseball fanatics in Japan now, everywhere in the world, which is amazing that the MLB is doing that. But nothing beats soccer, man. Nothing beats football.
Sebastian
I think they said projected 6 billion people are expected to watch the World Cup. Six billion, bro. I think there's like close to 9 billion people on this earth.
Lu
And so the first game is expected. 3 billion.
Sebastian
The Mexico game. Oh, my God.
Lu
Yeah. Wow.
Josh
I mean, just to be in that atmosphere. Only because my sister's graduating this year. And to me, that's one of the most important things in my life that that's going on this. I'm sorry, this year, this week, but I would have taken a flight with my wife, maybe a couple friends to go watch Mexico. And if I couldn't go into the game because maybe it's too expensive.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Just to be in the city and experience all of the humans from different parts of the world together. Echando Cheve. Drinking tequila, reminiscing and taking photos. Yeah, that's. That's the World Cup. Taking that picture with the boys looking at it 4, 10, 15 years from now and saying, man, that was 20, 26, the World cup, and we were all in Mexico hammered. Like, that's. That's the joy that it's bringing, you know? Yeah, I don't think somebody from Tokyo would fly out to go see the World Series, maybe if the Dodgers were playing, but you know what I mean? Like, I don't think we have that. But the World Cup, I mean, it's a thing. It's human evolution.
Sebastian
Exactly. There it is. Well, speaking of the World Cup, Shameless Plug Te Salud has an official flavor with Misael Cion, and it is available now if you guys want to purchase it. It's limited time flavor. It's an official collab and this flavor is delicious and I'm so proud of this. You guys can get 10% off using the code La Platica at checkout. It's La Platica now 10, right?

Josh
It's La Platica. La Platica. 10, yeah.
Sebastian
Sea Geek. So, yeah, if you guys want to get your hands on this bad boy for a limited time, please, please do.
Josh
Yeah. And I said it on my story. I don't know if you saw my story, but I said, if you're gonna buy it, buy it. Buy two, buy however many you need. But one, keep it on ice for the rest of your life. Open it years later, maybe. If anything, this is an art piece.
Sebastian
Well, it has a two year shelf life life. Oh, it does, it does.
Josh
Okay, if it passes two years, don't open it. No, but don't ever open it. Look at how beautiful this thing is. And I was speaking with the Salute team and they said that they use some different type of packaging that has A different type of crunch. Check this out.
Sebastian
Different crunch.
Josh
You hear that? That's the sound of victory.
Lu
I love that.
Josh
This is my third bag, by the way, that you've gone through going through these like crazy. Yeah, some.
Jessica
Some.
Sebastian
Have you.
Josh
My cousin. My cousin came over the. And I have, like, a big water bottle. Like the big. Like, not like the regular one. Like, a bigger one.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
And I. And I ripped two packs and I put it in there. And he goes, you're doing two packs? And I was like, isn't that illegal? Yeah. Why? He goes, damn, fool, you got money? And I was like, no. But I just realized that I am so spoiled with salute that I'm able to rip two packs at once. Wow. And he doesn't. He's just like, one, one.
Sebastian
Save it.
Josh
That's it for the day.
Sebastian
Look at him and me, bro.
Josh
I'm just like,
Sebastian
you know, that's an interesting perspective, bro.
Josh
Honestly, I'm so spoiled since day one.
Lu
Yeah.
Josh
You know that. You know, I'm grateful that you guys always get stuck me up, but, yeah, I'll rip four and once just to see the powder just burst and then throw it away.
Sebastian
That's crazy.
Josh
You know? So, like, if anything, I'm one of the Salute princess prints. Yeah.
Sebastian
This flavor is. Is insane.
Josh
Insane. Oh, it's so good.
Sebastian
It's so good.
Josh
Oh, shameless plug, too. Okay, like, this one is obviously good. I. To me, it's the toppest of the top right now. This is winning everything, especially because of the World cup, because they collab with Mexico. But what the. Like, I just tried the. The skin and beauty, the collagen one, the pomegranate one.
Sebastian
Fire.
Josh
You should say that it gives you boners. Because it's that good.
Sebastian
It's in the packaging. It's on the.
Josh
It's that good.
Sebastian
Yeah, bro.
Josh
The P.O. grant is insanely good.
Sebastian
Yeah.
Josh
Like, what the. Where was that been my whole life? Who knows? Yeah, that one is insanely good.
Sebastian
