Key Discussion Points & Insights

I. Love Island US: Cast, Drama & Reality TV Insight

(02:19–16:43)

• Initial Impressions & Growing Investment

  • Sebastian admits he wasn’t “too sold” on this season’s Love Island cast at first, but producers “know what they’re doing.”
    • (02:35) “At first, I was like, ‘man, they didn’t do a great job casting, but now I’m fully invested.’”
  • Josh describes Gabriel, a contestant, as "just horny" but facing a language barrier isolating his personality.
    • (02:55) “He's just horny, bro...there’s a huge language barrier, and he can’t really open up...”

• Standout Contestants & Drama

  • Melanie ("crazy eyes") is pegged as insufferable but key for the show’s drama quotient.
    • (03:33) “She has crazy eyes. From the jump, you can tell she’s not stable.”
  • Comparison between this season’s drama queens and last year’s iconic Huda.
  • Sincere is highlighted for his likability and being, well, "sincere."

• Game Mechanics & Producer Tricks

  • Observations about “bombshell” contestants being hotter and their timed entry to disrupt dynamics.
    • (13:21) “Bombshells are always a little bit hotter…they gotta be wanted more than the rest.”
  • Sebastian reflects on almost being cast for Love Island and why he’d never do it now.

• The Authenticity of Reality TV

  • Fascination with production tricks like keeping contestants unaware of time to maintain energy; ultra-tight editing schedules.
    • (16:03) “They never know what time it is—even on their phones, they remove the clock.”

II. Social Media Addiction & AI in Everyday Life

(23:16–36:01)

• Addiction & Generational Shift

  • Honest talk about being glued to screens—even into their 50s.
    • (25:05, Sebastian): “Am I just addicted to my phone forever now?”
  • All agree long social detoxes would be refreshing but hard due to family/work ties.

• The Double-Edged Sword of AI

  • Concerns over AI-generated fake news affecting older generations, illustrated by humorous and unsettling examples (e.g., Sebastian’s mom believing in an AI-generated image of Mookie Betts).
    • (27:08, Josh): “She shows me the picture. It’s Mookie Betts in a full Dodger jersey…holding kids in an African jungle. And I was like, Mom, this is AI!”

• Positive Applications & Sci-fi Tangents

  • Brief but fascinating pivot to AI’s helpfulness—for instance, in accelerating research or finding health solutions, and its role in human evolutionary acceleration.
    • (31:18, Josh): “…AI has accelerated maybe progress, for sure.”

III. Ancient Civilizations, Tech & Conspiracies

(36:01–38:25)

• Motherboards & Ruins
  • Jessica introduces a viral conspiracy—how layouts of ancient cities like Teotihuacán mimic modern computer motherboards, sparking theories of lost advanced technology or earth energy harnessing.
    • (36:25): “This is Teotihuacán…and this is a computer motherboard. Tell me that’s not the same.”
• Spirituality & Human Connection
  • The hosts reflect on how older civilizations may’ve been more attuned to the earth, using stones and rituals rather than digital tech—a form of “different advancement.”
• Modern Gratitude
  • Realization that, materially, even “royalty” in the past had nothing on today's basic comforts.

IV. World Cup Fever: Mexicans, Koreans, & LA

(39:16–73:03)

• Cultural Crossovers: Koreans in Mexico

  • Joyful viral videos of Korean (and other Asian) visitors ecstatic in traditional Mexcian “cantarito” party settings in Jalisco.
    • (40:01, Josh): “Mexicans love Asian people. Mexicans love seeing our culture spread out…”
  • Celebrating Mexican hospitality and the World Cup’s power to introduce global visitors to local traditions.

• Pinata Protocol & Cultural Fun

  • Josh outlines the “true Mexican piñata experience”: must be blindfolded, spun ‘your age’ times, and the danger is part of the fun.
    • (44:20, Josh): “Take a shot, someone needs to spin you your age…your life should be on the line.”

• Cultural Recommendations for Tourists Visiting LA

  • Tips for international fans coming to SoFi for the games:
    • Lunch at In-N-Out (46:26), beach drive (Malibu/Hermosa), exploring LA’s natural beauty, and seafood at Connie’s in Inglewood.
  • The hosts reflect on LA’s unique landscapes and diversity.
    • (49:25, Sebastian): “There’s people…that have never seen the ocean, bro. That blows my mind.”

• World Cup Predictions & Fandom

  • Both hosts root for Mexico but acknowledge underdog status; discuss the universal magic of the sport uniting nations.
    • Support for Cristiano Ronaldo (“CR7”) to take the win if Mexico doesn't, highlighting his achievements vs. Messi.

• Iconic Moments & Commentary

  • Nostalgia for legendary goals—specifically Ronaldo’s “chilena” (bicycle) against Juventus.
    • (58:09 onward) “It was like the coolest goal I’ve ever seen in my life. Everything just exploded.”
  • Deep appreciation for soccer’s emotional resonance, especially when watched with Spanish-language commentary (“the joy, the passion behind the words”).
    • (61:00, Josh): “The beauty about Spanish that I personally think shits on English is that there’s passion behind words.”

V. Closing: Community, Brand Shoutouts & Celebration

(68:38–73:03)

• Salud Collab Announcement

  • Sebastian promotes a limited edition “Salud” hydration powder, tied to the World Cup and Mexican national pride (La Platica 10 promo code).
  • Banter about being “Salud princes” and well-hydrated, all in good fun.

• Final Thoughts & Farewell

  • The crew encourages listeners to chime in with World Cup predictions, root for Mexico, stay connected, and enjoy LA’s multicultural offerings as host city.

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.

[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]

[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]

Have you tried the other flavors?

[Josh]

Yes, but pomegranate is. Is my right now, bro. I think I'm going through pomegranate faster than this one.

[Sebastian]

Wow.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Sebastian]

No wonder your skin looks so good. Is that why your nails are longer than usual, too?

[Josh]

Is that what it does?

[Sebastian]

And your hair. Luscious.

[Josh]

Yeah, man. I mean, it's.

[Jessica]

It's.

[Josh]

It's good. And, you know, it's not only is it delicious, it's super beneficial.
