Episode Overview

In this candid, charismatic post-Thanksgiving episode, Sebas and Josh reflect on holiday traditions—especially food—as they chat about everything from their love-hate relationship with classic Thanksgiving staples to an experiential wine tasting, the evolution of family gatherings, fashion splurges, and the realities of getting older in a Gen Alpha world. Injected with their signature mix of humor, self-awareness, and cultural commentary, the episode is as much about food and family as it is about shifting identities in a culture rapidly changing around them.

Key Themes and Discussion Points

Thanksgiving Reflections & Food Traditions

[03:05 – 05:35]

• The episode kicks off with laughter about the “limbo” week between Thanksgiving and Christmas, where productivity is low and chilling is high.
• Both hosts agree that the holidays are fundamentally about being with family.
• They banter about Sebas’ birthday “national holiday” and the pressure to remember it.
• Holiday meals are center stage—stuffing, mac and cheese, tamales—and which dishes they’d readily skip.

Notable Quote:

“Yo, stuff me up, daddy. I love getting stuffed. My thea makes a spicy stuffing and I love anything spicy. It kills everything.”
— Sebas [04:47]

---

The Great Wine Debate: Stella Rosa & Wine Snobbery

[05:29 – 16:27]

• Sebas reveals his role as the “wine guy” in his family, championing bottles for every household, from humble Stella Rosa to higher-end Austin Hope and Caymus.
• Deep dive into Stella Rosa (is it “real” wine?) and its popularity with newcomers.
• First-time tasting: Josh tries Stella Rosa Black on air, comparing it to Welch’s and Capri Sun (“gets you pedote—no wonder you like it”).
• Discussion of wine snobbery versus authenticity, and how “normal people” experience wine.

Notable Quotes:

“There’s so much more to wine than just Stella.”
— Sebas [12:29]

“You know what’s underrated? Shooting, like, taking a shot of wine...I chug that sometimes.”
— Sebas [11:22]

---

Thanksgiving Sides: What’s Worth Skipping?

[21:35 – 26:41]

• Mac and cheese: Overrated? Hot takes abound. Both hosts agree it’s not their “obsession,” prefer potato salad, and roast cheese pulls (“It just means your food was super hot”).
• The “I can live without it” list: yams, beets, and cranberry sauce (with detailed side commentary).

Notable Moments:

“Potato salad… my mom got mad cause I took my whole hand, I went like this, because I couldn’t help myself. Fist by fist...”
— Josh [23:07]

---

The Truth about Turkey (and Ham, and Tamales)

[26:41 – 37:37]

• Both hosts riff on turkey being overrated (“Turkey is for meal preps”). Ham and especially tamales (of all varieties) get much more enthusiasm.
• Tamale discourse: best types, salty vs. sweet, and fond childhood memories of tamale stands in Guadalajara.
• Spirited debate: Mexican vs. Guatemalan tamales (are Guatemalan tamales really better?).

Notable Quotes:

“Turkey’s like… it’s not that good. Turkey is for when you want to get shredded. Meal prep is for turkey.”
— Josh [27:20]

“One thing, and I’ve said it before…who makes low key better tamales than Mexicans? Guatemalans.”
— Josh [35:10]

---

Fashion Splurges & Judgment

[39:01 – 44:32]

• The hosts show off and mercilessly roast each other’s expensive shoes (ERL) and socks (Japanese woven), comparing them to Timbs.
• Playful back-and-forth about value, durability, and fashion priorities.
• Metacommentary on spending: “These are Japanese woven socks. You don’t get it…You just go to Target—never mind.”

Notable Quotes:

“You go to the club and spend that on a bottle—why are you projecting?”
— Josh [40:33]

---

Feeling Old in a Gen Alpha World

[44:32 – 53:17]

• Josh details a moment feeling “unk” (uncle/uncool/old) at a niece’s birthday, surrounded by Gen Alpha kids chanting “6, 7”—a TikTok-derived, context-free inside joke, leaving all adults confused and feeling outdated.
• The hosts reflect on growing up less self-aware and technology-saturated than today’s kids—a world where “everything’s on iPad,” even books.

Notable Quote:

“I looked at my wife. I said, we are so cooked as humans.”
— Josh [48:44]

“When I was a kid, I had no idea about the president…till later on in middle school...Now these kids are talking about the president, making fun of him...that’s crazy.”
— Sebas [54:41]

---

Culture, Identity, and Evolving Norms

[55:15 – End]

• The hosts and their guest, Jess, dissect how kids today grow up faster, are more self-conscious, and have access to more information—often at the expense of innocence or extended childhoods.
• Reflection on the different “rites of passage” that define generational divides: tech, trends, foods, and memes.

Notable Quote:

“Kids are growing up a little faster…when we were kids, we only cared about little kid stuff for a lot longer.”
— Sebas [55:11]

---

Engaging, Relatable, and Culturally Rich Moments

• Stella Rosa Tasting: First on-pod taste, with detailed flavor notes and playful skepticism.
  “This tastes like Welch’s grape. And the Capri Sun is…” [12:23]
• Thanksgiving Hot Takes: No-holds-barred food disses—mac and cheese, yams, turkey all get roasted.
• Tamale Allegiance Wars: The great Mexican vs. Guatemalan tamal debate, settled only by “moisture” preferences and family nostalgia.
• Fashion Flexes and Self-Roasting: Comic contrast between high-end streetwear/fashion savvy and traditional, blue-collar boot culture.

---

[A]

No, you don't.

[B]

You just. I say, Josh, you Want to kick it off and you're like, nah, bro, you got it.

[B]

You're lazy.

[A]

No, I'm not. That's the thing.

[B]

Do.

[A]

Okay, first of all, can I say something? No. No, you cannot.

[B]

Yeah, let's get it.

[A]

What you eat? What was your favorite dish that you had for Thanksgiving? Dish. Just say the dish.

[B]

Okay, so my favorite dish, if I can be honest with you, I love stuffing.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

I love getting stuffed.

[A]

Yo, stuff me up, daddy. I love getting stuff my. I have a thea who makes a spicy stuffing, and I love anything spicy, and it kills everything. It's so good, bro.

[B]

Yeah. What do you take?

[A]

What do you mean, what do I take?

[B]

What do you take to your family's house or are you hosting it? I doubt it. You never invite anybody to your house.

[A]

Can I tell you what I take? I am. I'm the wine guy, because my family shout out to. They. They are. But they're the Stella winos. You know what I mean?

[B]

They're like, Stella Rosa. Stella Rosa box wine.

[A]

Yes, like that. You know?

[B]

How much is Stella Rosa?

[A]

Stellar Rosa is, I don't know, like, eight bucks.

[B]

Great bargain.

[A]

No, here's the thing, bro.

[B]

Nothing like getting drunk off some Stella.

[A]

Rosa is really good. If you're, like, new into wine, if you enjoy more sweeter kind of wines, if you're more in the sangria realm.

[B]

Wine drinking a little wine cooler stuff.

[A]

Wine cooler. How much is it, Jessica? Nine bucks.

[B]

Yeah, it's not bad.

[A]

It's not bad. I know. A lot of profit. Exactly. Well, how much do you think it costs to make it?

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Yeah. The thing about three bucks. The thing about. Here's my issue with Sella Rosa.

[B]

Dang. No more brand deal for jobs.

[A]

No, no, no brand deal for jobs. Be careful. No, no, no. Honestly. Is it. Is it categorized as a wine? Can you look this up, Jess? I only ask because Stella Rosa, I don't know if you know this and you can. You can fact check me. They have a nutritional fact fact panel on the back of the wine, which is not traditional wine, like what sodas have.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So I'm like, why does this have a nutritional fact panel, A lot of Red 40 or what it is considered of a semi sweet, semi sparkling Italian wine offers. Okay, okay, so it is a wine. All right. I'm kind of curious why they do. Can you. Can you maybe chat gbt? Why they do a nutritional fact or Google.

[B]

Stella Rosa has a big fan base. They do.

[A]

And this is why I. I think that I. I always suggest Stella Rosa for people who are new into the r wine world. Would you agree?

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Maybe. Because, like, if you've never drank wine before, I think Stella Rosa.

[B]

I've never had Stella.

[A]

You've never had it?

[B]

No. Is it sparkly?

[A]

No, they have a sparkling version.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Why is it contains calories? Does it say why?

[C]

It just depends. It literally says because it's a type of wine that contains calories and carbs from its ingredients. It's also responding to consumer demand for transparency and potentially to upcoming regulations that may require labels on all wines. So they might be ahead of the game.

[A]

Whoa. All right. You've never had Stellarosis. Kind of blowing my mind.

[B]

No, no, no.

[A]

I almost. There's a Stellar Rosa bottle, right? I almost want you to have a babysit. You gotta experience. Yeah, that's what I'm literally looking at.

[B]

Yeah, I'll give you my. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Just have a babysit, bro.

[B]

Super blunt.

[A]

Oh, there's one right here, Matt. There's two right here. No, it's a twist off. Okay. I'm not trying to be a snob right now. Okay.

[B]

It's okay to have gustos. It's okay to have gustos.

[A]

Okay. But, like, so it's. I feel like I take on the responsibility. Right. As a head.

[B]

And I'm not saying there's nothing wrong with that. I just know what it is now.

[A]

Like, I'm just curious, but I'm fine with it. Yeah.

[B]

I've done worse in my life.

[A]

Oh, my God. I've done worse.

[B]

Yeah. Like, I'm not tripping if there's a bottle of Stellarosa. I'm not complaining. Right.

[A]

Mind you, this from the guy who orders skinny marks. Okay. I know, I know. So take it as you will.

[B]

And by the way, anybody drinking Stella Rosa at home, we salute you.

[A]

It's cool, bro. You've never had Stella Rose in my life. Wow. Do you hear that? That was the crack of Stella. Did you hear the.

[B]

Yeah, you're what you call putting me on.

[A]

I'll have a little bit of Stella, too. I want to experience this with you. So I take it upon myself to, you know, show my family a different world, a different.

[B]

So you walk in 10 bottles, Stella Rosa lined up.

[A]

Yeah. They're like, oh, no, not one, but 10. And so I'm the wine guy, you know, I'm bringing. I'm bringing the Austin hopes. Yeah. I'm bringing. I'm bringing the Caymas one. Whoa. One.

[B]

Whoa. Okay.

[A]

I'M bringing the, you know, something a little bit more quick. If you want something quick at the aisles, it. Lower budget. Justin. Phenomenal.

[B]

Justin is good. I've had Justin.

[A]

Yeah. Justin is incredible.

[B]

Yeah, Yeah. I like wine.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I do like wine.

[A]

Okay, look. All right, look.

[B]

It's sparkly.

[A]

That's what I'm saying. So I'm like, is this wine?

[B]

Is it all like this?

[C]

Well, they're there. I mean, there is such a thing as sparkling wine.

[B]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But is that wine, though? Is that wine, though?

[C]

Then what is it like champagne? No, it's white or cava or.

[B]

Or. Yeah, or like a ro. Like a sparkling rose. What.

[A]

What's one. Is this one that we're. We're drinking? Jess y.

[B]

Show the bottle to the people back at home.

[A]

We have camera four. We have camera four. Dude.

[B]

Oh, my God, you're right. Duh. Sorry.

[A]

But go ahead.

[B]

Okay, so this is what Josh is putting on. It's Stella Rosa black. Okay. If you.

[A]

If. Dude, can you.

[B]

A low alcohol grape wine. A low. No, thank you. Specialty with natural flavors, semisweet.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I think the black one is really good.

[A]

Really? This is your favorite Stella?

[C]

I sure. I haven't had Stella in a really long time, but when I first. My mom loves Stella, so this is one of the ones.

[A]

I feel like older people tend to, like, really like stuff or people who are new into wine.

[B]

It's nice.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

There's nothing wrong with this. This is great.

[A]

How much calories is it?

[B]

It's a great value to get off pedote during Christmas.

[A]

There you go.

[B]

The only thing that I have, the. The only battle that I have with wine is I'll buy a Austin Hope. I'll splurge and get a cus for me and my wife. Do you know what I mean? I don't know how much it is, but it's pretty pricey.

[A]

Cus is like 60 bucks.

[B]

I'll serve two copas. Yeah, that's the only thing.

[A]

Well, you know that a proper glass, if. If you serve it correctly, it should be four glasses of wine, one bottle.

[B]

Okay. Not doing that. I'm so that's the thing. You go to a restaurant and I don't understand. Yeah, but it's like, it's super fancy copa, and it's just to the middle or even a little bit below the middle. Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm like, that's it. Serve it up, pal. Bro, I go to the top, son.

[A]

Yeah, I want that overflowing.

[B]

You put a popote on that. I'm. Go to the top, bro.

[A]

I'm shotgunning that.

[B]

Yeah. And that's the thing. Like one, two. Yeah. I would drink bottles by myself because it's only two cups.

[A]

You know what's underrated? Shooting, like taking a shot of wine. Like when you have like this much and you just fucking chug it. Underrated. Because people sip wine. I fucking chug that sometimes.

[B]

Of course you do.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

Okay. This is my first time ever trying Stella Rosa Black. Why? Why?

[A]

How come you've never had this?

[B]

I'm not a wine guy. I'll drink wine.

[A]

You're.

[B]

I like wine. If the energy is wine. Tonight I'm drinking wine and I'm not complaining. This to me, this looks like a nice bottle. It does great marketing, great logos. I like it.

[A]

All right, look, this is what I want you to do. You're going to have a sip right now. You're going to put it in. You're going to coat your mouth. Okay? You're not going to say anything. You're not going to say anything. Okay. You're going to take it in and then you're going to do another sip. And that's the experience I want you to tell me about. Okay?

[B]

Okay. So cheers, man.

[A]

Salute.

[B]

Cheers, guys.

[A]

Okay, Get your palette ready for what's about to go down. Now sip again.

[B]

This tastes like Welch's grape.

[A]

The.

[B]

And the Capri sun is.

[A]

This. Here's the thing.

[B]

Great. And it gets you pedal. No wonder you like it.

[A]

Look, this is good.

[B]

No wonder your family loves it. This is great.

[A]

You know what? This does taste like Welch's. This is some. This is so good.

[B]

This tastes like Suba. If anybody knows what Suba is.

[A]

But there. There's so much more to wine than just Stella.

[B]

I get it. Yeah. But you're right. This is like for somebody, cuz. Wine is an acquired taste. It's like smoking cigarettes.

[A]

Cigarettes or cigars?

[B]

Both. You know, it's like drinking beer for the first time. Beer's not good for the firsttime drinker.

[A]

That. Okay, I kind of want to try that one. Let me try that one. This one.

[B]

Be honest with me.

[A]

This is too sweet for me.

[B]

It's super sweet.

[A]

Like.

[B]

Yeah, that went off for fun. Like to start it off. Yeah, sure. Give me a stellar Rosa. I ain't going to lie. It's really good. This some I'll take to Disneyland, bro.

[A]

It doesn't taste like there's any alcohol in that. It's so good. And maybe that's The. That's the experience people want.

[B]

That's what people like. Yeah. But yes, I. It. For somebody who traditionally tastes wine.

[A]

I love that sound. Whatever sound.

[B]

Can you try to mimic that sound?

[A]

I want. I want that as like my ringtone. Is that. Does that make me an alcohol. Don't answer that. No, there. No, you're too.

[B]

Look, this is. This is great. This is like the stuff that my family gets when it's New Year's. And instead of the apple cider, whatever it is for the. For the Brindis there also Stellar Rosas.

[C]

Pretty bubbly.

[A]

So this is their red wine.

[C]

Correct.

[A]

This is their red. Now, let me tell you something. I'm a huge red guy. I'm a red guy. My, my, my.

[B]

As a guy.

[A]

I'm a red guy. You're going to do that. That was a very bad idea. What, you're going to double cup? No, but isn't there some in the bottom of the other one? Oh, you finished it. Yeah.

[B]

Jackass.

[A]

Damn, dude.

[B]

The. You think I'm going to. Idiot.

[A]

All right. Salute. All right, so what is this one? Jess, can you explain to us what this one? We are.

[C]

This is Stella Rosa red, semi sweet. That's all it says. This is the original one, though.

[A]

Oh, okay. So this is the og. This is.

[B]

This is the one at your family's house.

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[B]

Okay. Cheers, buddy. Not as grapey. A little more light. Not as grapey. This one's grapey. Just like your Kulo grapey.

[A]

This one's a little more drier. Maybe like a tad bit in the stellar Rosa realm. Yeah.

[B]

Not in the real world, but yeah, I get it. It's good.

[A]

It's good stuff.

[B]

It's tasty.

[A]

It's tasty.

[B]

They cracked the code. Yeah, they cracked the code. You can get it for a bargain. Yeah, you could probably get faded if you drink a lot. Now, this is probably a headache.

[A]

Major.

[B]

Major. Okay. Yeah, but all wine is too. All wine gives you head.

[A]

Really?

[B]

I think so. I've drank bottles by myself. Big headache, bro.

[A]

Bad it, bro.

[B]

Yeah. So I.

[A]

So I bring wine. That's like the thing that I enjoy bringing to my family. I personally enjoy bringing that.

[B]

They know you're bringing it.

[A]

And here's.

[B]

Hey, we got the Stellar Rosa. But drink up. You know, when Josh comes, he's going to bring the. The Austin Hope. Austin Hope is a great, great bargain, too. It's not that bad for a great, great wine. 40 bucks for a great wine. Yeah.

[A]

I will say, I think. Look, you know what?

[B]

It.

[A]

I I wouldn't. So I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm a wine snob, because I'm not, right? Like, I don't. There's people who really know wine at all, right? But I. I like. I like dry red wine. And most people try. They're like, how do you like. I'm like, I love this.

[B]

I like the Cabernet savignans.

[A]

Yeah. Salvignon. Salvignon.

[B]

Is that what it is? That was a bit. And I got you guys. I'm good.

[A]

So how do you pronounce it?

[B]

Sevignon. Sauvignon.

[A]

Sauvignon. My mom got me on wine, bro. Like, I was kind of ahead of my time.

[B]

Well, not. Well, see, not your dad.

[C]

Whoa.

[B]

My headphones just went wee.

[A]

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. That one.

[B]

That's good.

[A]

Because you know what's funny? I actually pondered that thought for, like, a millisecond of a thought.

[B]

I was like, God damn it.

[A]

He's right. I never knew my father.

[B]

Bro. When I was, like.

[A]

When I was, like, 18, I probably shouldn't admit this, but, like, you know, my mom would enjoy a glass of wine, right? I remember this. And she would. She would. I. From all I can remember, she would always have a glass of wine.

[B]

Love.

[A]

Love wine.

[B]

Right?

[A]

So I started kind of experimenting with wine when I was, like, 18. Like, really just trying it out, so. And I really took a liking. At 18?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Not, like, crazy, bro. Like, she. What? She's. I was like, can I try it? She let me try it.

[B]

And your mom's not trying the Stellar Rosa. She's trying the.

[A]

She's. She's having some Savign.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Your mom's cool, man.

[A]

So. Thanks, bro. Your mom's cool. Our moms are cool. We have cool moms.

[B]

We do have cool moms. Yeah.

[A]

We have, like, really cool moms.

[B]

Next. Continue.

[A]

Let's not talk about our dads.

[B]

Continue.

[A]

We have. Well, you have really cool dad.

[B]

I do have a cool dad.

[A]

Yeah. So I. I feel like I got put on. What are we looking up here? Just the. The Austin Hope. How much is Austin Hope?

[C]

It depends on when you purchase it, but around 49. 40 bucks seems to be all right.

[B]

Yeah, I was on a big Austin Hope kick. 2001, maybe? No, I'm so dumb. 2021, like, around Coven.

[A]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

I started drinking a lot of wine, and I think either for my birthday or Christmas, a good friend, Robert, he bought me, like, oh, the biggest box. No, he bought me, like, 16 bottles.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Yeah. And it was around Christmas time. Yeah. Because I remember I distributed them through Christmas. And dude, like, out of 16 bottles, I think we finished 12 or 14 of them. Everybody did. They loved it. Austin Hope. Austin Hope is a great wine. Very tasty wine.

[A]

Would you recommend that for people to try?

[B]

Yeah, 100. Yeah, it's. I think it's a.

[A]

Have you tried.

[B]

I think it's a sevignon, too. No, I think it's a sevignon. Right.

[A]

So I'm gonna go as far as, say, like, that's probably my favorite wine.

[B]

Yeah, it's a really good one.

[A]

That's probably my favorite one.

[B]

No, and Justin is cool, too, if you want to go some real quick.

[A]

Can you look up Justin, real quick, the price on Jesse?

[B]

And honestly, people who actually drink wine, probably roasting us right now for saying.

[A]

Oh, my God, that's the thing. Yeah, that's the thing.

[B]

But I don't care because those are the wine snobs that like, yo, worry about your own people.

[A]

Yeah, well, that's what the food.

[B]

Yeah. Let us normal people drink what they have at the stores.

[A]

30, 40 bucks.

[B]

It goes up. It goes up. Once it gets popular, it goes up like tequila.

[C]

And it also depends, right? So if you go to, like, Ralph's or Vons or Pavilions, like, those are going to be pricier than you're going to find them.

[A]

Wait, but 20 bucks? You can buy a bottle for 20 bucks. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

[C]

25.

[A]

No, I love cornbread. Hold on.

Mac and cheese is overrated.

I also think that.

[A]

Really, Jess.

[B]

Not the one from kfc, though.

[C]

I saw that coming. No, but I. I think it's great. I love.

[B]

Yeah. I think what Josh is trying to refer to is people go to restaurants and they're like, you gotta get the Mac and cheese, bro. That's not us. Right?

[A]

No, yeah.

[B]

Like, it's cool. Obviously, you're gonna get a scoop of it in a place.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, like, you enjoy it, but there's people who, like, are obsessed with Mac and cheese.

[A]

You know what's interesting?

[B]

What are you three?

[A]

You know what's interesting? Matt, he's like, I love it.

[B]

I think, honestly, like, yeah. Like, remember in Disneyland? Like, you're like you to get the lobster Mac and cheese.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[B]

Or blah, blah, blah, bite. I'm like, it's good, but chill, bro. You know you're more excited for the Mac and cheese and then credit coaster.

[A]

Are you kidding me? That's a red flag. Yeah, that's a red flag. You know what's interesting about that? I love macaroni salad, though.

[B]

That's a different thing though.

[A]

I know, right? But it is and it isn't.

[B]

You know what's super good in potato salad?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

In the big plastic bin from Costco.

[A]

Dirty.

[B]

I one time my mom got mad cuz I took my whole hand. I went like this because I couldn't help myself. Can't. You can't help yourself.

[A]

I'm supposed to use a.

[B]

You ate that fist by fist. Yep.

[A]

I agree. Fist by fist.

[B]

After I was done with the whole product, I looked at myself in the mirror. I said, you have a problem. You have an addiction to potato salad. Yeah, it's crazy.

[A]

Yeah, good point. Good point.

[B]

Yeah. But. Yeah, I know what you mean. You enjoy macaroni and cheese.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Who even says the whole name anymore?

[A]

You got time for that Mac and cheese, motherfucker?

[B]

Who? Is there any more macaroni and cheese?

[A]

Are you a cheese guy?

[B]

I love cheese. Like.

[A]

Like. So what is it about the Mac and cheese? Because I feel like sometimes it's just.

[B]

It's just not. I don't know. It's okay.

[A]

It's like.

[B]

It's almost like. It's almost like an overkill of cheese.

[A]

What's the issue? What's the thing with cheese pools? What is it like? I get it. It looks satisfying, but like, is that good? Is that a good signal that the food is good?

[C]

Like the quality? Probably.

[B]

I think it's the quality of the cheese.

[A]

What's the deal with cheese pools?

[B]

To me it's just like. Okay, a nice cheese pull. That just means your food was super hot, right? Yeah.

[A]

Cuz it. That's the texture.

[B]

It's just. It's just good for. So it's cooked. Maybe it's cooked for tv.

[A]

Dude, what's the issue with the cheese pulls, bro?

[B]

I like a good cheese pool.

[A]

I do too. But it's kind of pointless, right?

[B]

Of course it isn't pointless. Everything's pointless in life. Nothing matters. Yeah. So Thanksgiving, brother.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I hope you enjoy it, man.

[A]

I did.

[B]

Yeah. Thanks for giving us your whole wine breakdown.

[A]

Ah, we went into a whole tangent, so I hope that was somewhat entertaining.

[B]

I think it is. I think it's pretty relatable to people back at home. Yeah. You gave people good brands to.

[A]

We sampled.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Again.

[B]

What's another Thanksgiving, I guess item or entree that you can live without?

[A]

Live without? Yeah.

[B]

You can live without yams. Yams, huh?

[A]

I could do without it.

[B]

Oh, man. The sweet yams and kind of.

[A]

No, I'm sorry. What's the one that's like purple? Is it beets? Is that what they Please. It's like purple and it's always in a can.

[C]

Oh, cranberry sauce.

[A]

Is it cranberry sauce?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

No, no, I think it's beets. It's like the purple comes in, they slice it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, no, no, no.

[B]

You don't like beets, but beets. I love beads.

[A]

I think it's beads. Huh?

[B]

Sliced beets.

[A]

What did I say? Did I say yams? That. That for Thanksgiving. But put like things.

[B]

Are you kidding me.

[C]

Bro?

[A]

Like these things right here. I feel like they're always at Thanksgiving. Is that a thing?

[B]

Yeah, because they're good. I love beats, bro. What beats? Beats.

[A]

You're saying beads.

[B]

I said beats. Beats, Beats. Beats. Beats.

[A]

I've never heard of people have this. Do they not?

[C]

Yeah, but I've never heard of there being like a specific recipe for Thanksgiving.

[A]

No, they just slice it up and eat it like that.

[B]

I feel like they're on Thanksgiving and Chris or Christmas. It's beads. It's just beads. Yeah, but they're good. I love beads.

[A]

You asked me what I could do without. Sure.

[B]

No, I get that.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I respect it.

[B]

Yeah, but you're an idiot.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

One thing that I can do without. Can I be quite real with you right now? And I'm sorry, I'm going to disrupt the whole Thanksgiving industry.

[A]

Turkey.

[B]

Turkey.

[A]

Yeah, I know you're going to say that. The who's down and who Newville were making their list, but some didn't know. Walmart has the best brands for their gifts. What about toys? Do they have brands kids have been wanting all year?

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Barbie, Tony's and Lego. Gifts that will make them all cheer.

[B]

Do you mean they have all the brands I adore?

[A]

They have Nintendo, Nespresso, Apple and more.

[B]

What a bird.

[A]

So the who answered questions from friends till they were blue. Each one listened and shouted from Walmart.

[B]

Who knew?

[A]

Shop gifts from pop brands for everyone on your list in the Walmart app.

[B]

Yeah, we couldn't pick a different bird.

[A]

Yeah, I kind of agree. Turkey's like.

[B]

It's not that good.

[A]

I can.

[B]

Dude, turkey is for when you want to get shredded. Meal prep is for turkey. Turkeys are for meal preps.

[C]

Jess, my sister in law, she has deep fried a turkey.

[B]

Okay, but.

[A]

Okay, so the deep inside of it or just the top layer?

[C]

All of it.

[B]

Okay, I've had a fried turkey.

[A]

I've had a fried.

[B]

But what I'm saying is there's so much better proteins.

[A]

[B]

Turkeys, man, I just think they're so pobrecitos, you know?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I just think they're so overrated. And don't get me wrong, like, I feel like the next day, they're a little bit more juicier, a little bit more marinated in a sandwich. And don't get me wrong, I haven't. Yeah, it is a mayonnaise. I haven't met maybe the right person who's ever made a. My swagger makes a really good one. I'm not gonna lie. But it's not something like, oh, my God, I'm craving the turkey. I'm not, man. I'm not.

[A]

What about the hamon?

[B]

The jamon? I'm craving hard.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

My. My. One of my thea. Sh. Me. She makes this hamon. It's like hamon and then some green spaghetti. It's a green spaghetti.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[B]

Oh, my God. That I look forward to, my boy. You feel me like that? I look forward to.

[A]

Are you happy? Did you have that?

[B]

Yeah, I did. But the turkey, I'm not, bro. I'm just not, you know, I don't wake up in the morning. Like, I don't fist and fist that turkey. I don't shove my fist in it like I do with the potato salad that's there.

[A]

No, I'm not even mad.

[B]

I'll have a kilo of potato salad to myself.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The. The stuffing, I'll have to myself.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, the tamales. Tamales are a must. And Thanksgiving. I'm sorry.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean? Yeah, I love tamales. Me too. Favorite tamal go.

[A]

The rest.

[B]

The red one.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah. That's really good. I have to say, I think my favorite and it's just always good, is the queso conrajas or rajas con queso. Which one's the one that they say? Same thing, right? Yeah.

[A]

Do you like. Do you like the sweet ones? Like the sweet corn one?

[B]

Yeah, brother. Yeah, with the raisins.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Matt, do you like raisins? You better. I was about to kick your ass right now in front of everybody.

[A]

What's crazy is that races.

[B]

Kidding. I will never hurt you.

[A]

Unless. Unless you don't like raisins.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

As.

[B]

As a kid, I Remember, my family is from Guadalajara and. But they're also from a pueblo. So from the pueblo to Guadalajara, right before you get to Guadalajara, all the camones are right there. And it's like very industrial. There's like literally like. Like tamale. Like tamale row. Okay. Like just so much tamales right there. And it's just so good, bro. And I remember they have the pina, the lotte. Oh, it's so good. And like, nothing is paired better with. It's like it has to be like 7 in the morning. A little crisp outside. You know what I mean? Like when I. When I talk about crisp. Yeah. Like crisp. You order a couple tamales. Yeah. And then neck as. As your secondary weapon, bro. Oh, you know what I mean? Like, have you ever had. Have you ever had an atole? Blazing hot with tamales? Oh, yeah. At 7:00am that hits. Outdoor restaurant, shitty chairs, which is the vibe has to be mugre somewhere along the. The floor and stuff like that because it's a little muddy, but just the air is super crisp. Are you imagining that right now?

[A]

I can fix it perfectly.

[B]

Oh, man. It's just such a vibe. Tamales.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. So good, man.

[A]

Yeah. I love tamales, bro.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Not all tamales are created equally, though. I will say that. No, they're not like even the same style of tamal. Not everybody makes them the same.

[C]

Remember that tamales that saved us when we were in Chicago? Yeah.

[A]

Oh, my. Those were insanely good. What was that spot from?

[C]

It was a supporter who went to the show.

[A]

My mouth just got water. I'm starving.

[C]

Her mom sent them to us.

[A]

Dude, they were so good. Were they homemade or. They're from a restaurant.

[C]

She. She has a little pop up from her home. Give me one second.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Those were busting, my boy.

[C]

It's Sylvia.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

Shout out in Chicago.

[B]

Check her out. Chicago shot city. Shot city big titty. There you go. The thing is, is that for me? Make sure you have a pound of sour cream for me. Or like grandma Mexicana and a bottle of tapatio. I'm holding a tama like that. Smearing that.

[A]

I'm dunking it into the crema.

[B]

That crema like that tapatio. Don't sprinkle the tapatio like you.

[A]

I do.

[B]

It's.

[A]

Big chunks of tapati so it gets everywhere. Yeah, bro. Tamales are insanely good. And I'll be honest with you, even without the crema or the tapatio, I'm still them up.

[B]

Of course.

[A]

You know what?

[B]

I mean, of course one thing, and I've said it before, and you know who makes low key better tamales than Mexicans?

[A]

No, they don't.

[B]

Yeah, no, they don't. It's just the truth.

[A]

It's not, it's not the truth, but go ahead.

[B]

You've been drinking. Too much.

[A]

Embarrassment.

[B]

Guatemalan tamales are better.

[A]

They're tripping, bro.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Have you ever had them in the motherland of Guatemala? They're not that good. They're not that good, bro. I've had them in Guatemala. Marky's dad, my brother's dad, he's Guatemalan. So I would go to Wa Wat Tamala with him. And I've had the tamales, bro.

[B]

Clearly you had some shitty ones. Clearly from the voice that you're speaking.

[A]

Out of or can you show me the Guatemala? Guatemala tamal.

[B]

They're bigger. Yeah, they're juicier and they're more jam.

[A]

Packed and they're harder to get into.

[B]

And they're. And they're in. And they're wrapped in, I think banana leaves.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. I'm so sorry. And you know me, they're not bad. Mexico like no other Guatemala goddess on that, I ain't gonna lie. And they remind me of Colombian tamales too. They look very similar. They're juicier because I, I. Hey, when you eat a Mexican tamale.

[A]

Have you ever had them side by side?

[B]

You need a drink. Are dry sometimes.

[A]

Sometimes. That's what I'm saying. They're not all made.

[B]

These are juicy, oily. It's almost like they made them in Bapor. Have you had them, Jeff?

[C]

No.

[B]

Oh my God, they're insanely good. And they're bigger. And you know me, I like it bigger.

[A]

I don't like the texture of the masa. It feels more wet. I do like a little more moist. I like them a little hardened, bro. I do.

[B]

Okay, that's fine.

[A]

A little bit. It's too moist. It's too, it's like falls apart, man.

[B]

Shout out to my people from Guatemala.

[A]

No, straight up, bro.

[B]

Not Marky, though.

[A]

It's starting to con. It's starting to concern you. Concern me.

[A]

Do you have any lumps on your neck?

[B]

No.

[A]

Like this.

[B]

Ever since my voice was gone, I never Felt sick or anything.

[A]

Have you done this? Everybody should check if they have any lumps. I need a massage, bro. Anyways, I'm so sorry. What were you saying? Do you feel any lumps?

[B]

No. We took our niece to her friend's birthday party. Right.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

We took.

[A]

No, I got it.

[B]

My wife's niece.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That niece has a friend from school.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

She is celebrating her birthday and you guys took her and we took her.

[A]

That's very nice of you.

[B]

Yeah. And it's cool. I've never been in a situation where. Because obviously they're little girls. So like nowadays, I mean, when I was a little kid, my mom would just drop.

[A]

When you were a little girl?

[B]

When I was a little girl, yeah. My mom would just drop me off, figure it out. I'll come back around this time she.

[A]

Didn'T go in, meet the parents.

[B]

So we go inside, we meet everybody. Super nice family. They sit us down and we're just there. And there was other, like, parents there too, with just watching their kids play.

[A]

Did they hit other kids? Which one's yours?

[B]

They didn't. It's almost like they knew already that that's not our kid.

[A]

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

[B]

But we were there and, you know, we're just chopping it up and that was the first time I've ever done that.

[A]

Where did you fall in as far as age group? Like, were you. I guess young parents? Like older parents? Mid tier?

[B]

I think I was, you know, I think they were a young family.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I think they had her very young.

[A]

I think.

[B]

I think the mom and the dad were almost my age. Oh, cool.

[A]

Yeah, nice. 40.

[B]

It was a great time.

[A]

Where is the old part? Come in.

[B]

So me interacting with these kids and me observing what they're doing because I was like, wow, it's so different nowadays. You know what I mean? And then it was especially. It was all little girls. I have never heard any group and I know the trend and I know things like that. I'm not super unk yet. I'm still big, bro. I know the trends. I know what's going on in life. I know what these Gen Z or what even are they.

[A]

No, they're not. They're Gen alpha.

[B]

Okay? I know what these Gen Z or Gen Alpha kids are saying because I'm around it all the time and I. I'm not. I'm not clueless to. To. To society. Right.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Bro. The amount of times I heard, six, seven.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I looked at my. My wife concerned.

[A]

How old were they?

[B]

11, 9, 10.

[A]

Okay. Between 9 and 11.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. They're not teenagers yet. They're like 10, 11, but they're 6, 7.

[A]

In and out.

[B]

Yeah. There was a point where everybody started a countdown. Everybody started saying, 1, 2, 3. And I was looking at the kids, and I was like, oh, at three, something's gonna erupt. Something's gonna happen. They kept going on four, and they continued. I was like, what the hell? When they got to six, they were like, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Everybody six, seven.

[A]

I've never seen that before. Me neither. That's crazy.

[B]

I'm so sorry. Little kids, but that was the cringiest shit I've ever seen in my life. I had it. I had to tell, you know, my little family, like, the kids, don't ever do that again.

[A]

Don't.

[B]

They said, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. A slight pause. 6, 7, the whole time.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

The thing means nothing.

[A]

It means nothing.

[B]

I looked at my wife. I said, we are so cooked as humans.

[A]

No, no, no, bro, they're nine. Between nine and 11, you're unk, bro. That's your issue. You're unc. As, bro.

[B]

What were you doing at 9 and 10? 11? I was memorizing.

[A]

I was doing at 9 or 11, bro. I was on a razor. My boy, on a scooter. Razors. That's what I was doing. Doing the little thing, like, thinking I could do tricks.

[B]

Okay, I'm 35 years old. That's fine. I'm in my prime, son. Right. What was our 6, 7.

[A]

At 9, 11. Can you look that?

[B]

What was our 6, 7.

[A]

Between? So look up the ages of 1998 to 2000.

[B]

I mean, I remember playing PlayStation. I remember, like, helping my dad pour concrete.

[A]

Pokemon cards.

[B]

Pokemon. You know what I mean? Like, I never said. Like, bro, I was listening to Tupac, Dr. Dream.

[A]

Bro, the Internet didn't exist.

[B]

Like, what was R67?

[A]

It's Morphin Time.

[B]

Maybe, but that meant something to us.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Six, seven means nothing.

[A]

It means nothing.

[B]

I think these kids literally say it to throw off the. The. The parents.

[A]

It's just. It's. It's like a. It's like a just. Brain rot. It's brain rot.

[B]

I know.

[A]

So it's like being a part of something. Like, it's just, like a thing that everybody's.

[B]

In the end. I get it. It's cute. It's cute. But I will tell you this. They said it so much that the parents are looking at each other like, what do we do?

[A]

No, seriously.

[B]

I was like, I don't know what to do. I've never seen this so much.

[A]

It's so crazy. And you know what? Who do we blame for this? It's tick tock, bro.

[B]

Sure, it's tick tock. So that was my experience. And that made you feel a little bit. Something that really made me feel uncle was there's a band that I didn't really know about or I'm not too tuned into. It's called K Pop Demon Hunters. K Pop Demon Hunters. Right.

[A]

Please proceed.

[B]

Is really pretty anime. I think they're Korean girls.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And there's a movie on it. And the whole theme of that young girl that I went to the party was Demon. K Pop Demon Hunters. And I was like, what is that? And when I said what is that? I was like, dan, that's kind of unc of me to say that.

[A]

Is it though?

[B]

I think it is. No, no, it's not.

[A]

This is like curated for kids, bro.

[B]

Yeah, I know. But like, I would be in tune with that if. Because I'm still a big kid, honestly.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So, like, I feel like I'd be in tuned with that. A lot of anime stuff I'm in tuned with. So the whole thing was that. So when we got back home, our little niece wanted to watch the movie for us. Because I kept asking like, what is that? You know, I thought it was like. You know, the only time I think. I think that.

[A]

I think the.

[B]

The Dodgers did something with them or something like that. Like. Like a. Like a night for them, I guess. It's a super popular show amongst kids because even my nephew who.

[A]

Who.

[B]

Who's a boy, knew all the songs. So we watched a movie and I think I told you, great movie.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It's about these girls who have fantastic voices, but there's like demons around their world and they try to almost kill them, but the girls always kill them. It's a great movie. You should watch it. And they sing the whole time. It's almost like a musical, but it's really nice. And I think these people are like. There's actual, like they're making money off this music. It's not just like a show.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's like music, music.

[A]

They're on Spotify.

[B]

They're like on Spotify and damn. So that made me feel like unk too, because I didn't know about that.

[A]

Yeah, but you also went to a kid's party. That. That was the theme. That's not unk. That's just a kid's thing.

[B]

Okay. If a kid has a party and it's all paw patrol. Yeah, I with paw patrol. I know about it. Yeah.

[A]

Maybe it was more.

[B]

That didn't make me feel unk.

[A]

Okay. Yeah.

[B]

No, but now I felt unk.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is there. Is there anything in life that made you feel unk?

[A]

Not really, bro. I'm with the shits.

[B]

Are you, though?

[A]

I'm with the shits. You know what I mean?

[B]

Here's what makes you want to be.

[A]

Here's what makes you. You're, like, too, like, big with everything. Like, what the is that? I don't know. I listen, I'm like, put me on. Put me on game. I'm not trying to be, like, disconnected from it. The 6, 7. I play along with it. See how I'm sitting right now, my boy? You see it? I'm with the shits.

[B]

Can you do it?

[A]

I'm really.

[B]

Can you do a nasty 6, 7 for the. For the audience?

[A]

See it?

[B]

Then.

[A]

Let me see your glasses. See, these glasses right here are unk, bro.

[B]

No, they're not.

[A]

Yeah, these are unk, bro.

[B]

They're backwards.

[A]

That's what you look like, bro. That's you, my boy.

[B]

Was that your six, seven.

[A]

Yes. Look, man, that's the difference between me and you, okay? I'm with the shits. You take shits. You feel me?

[B]

You feel me?

[A]

Okay, that's the difference, bro. Okay? That's the difference.

[B]

So you don't take shits. I'm pretty sure you do.

[A]

Pretty sure you do it.

[B]

Not.

[A]

I mean, bro. Oh, this, bro. Making paperback binders or paperback books. They don't do this no more, huh? With the books anymore. They don't even have books anymore, bro. That's crazy. That's crazy. Everything's on the iPad. You know what makes me feel. I guess not unk. I don't know if this is the right word, but, like, how ahead younger people are with their, like, awareness of, like, themselves, like, how they look and perceive themselves. I don't remember caring so much when I was, like, nine to, like, I didn't care, you know? But, like, yeah, because of social media and people taking photos and stuff like that, it's like, yeah, everybody's so, like, aware of how they look.

[B]

I, I, I just. I. I feel like I.

[A]

Kids. I mean, I give me. I mean, kids, by the way.

[B]

I just feel like I. I see it from what I'm around, so I feel like kids just are growing up a little faster. They're more aware. And I feel when we were kids, I mean, see, I still have. I still haven't Been in. I'm still a kid. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, I. I feel like we lasted longer being a kid.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And we only cared about little kid for a lot longer.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And now I feel like, especially I see my nieces and nephews and they're kind of like, I don't know, I could talk to them like a straight up adult and talk to them like real. About real stuff.

[A]

Yeah. And they're.

[B]

They're like. I think it's because of the iPads and what they see. It's like they're just more exposed to the. To the real world or to real situations or things that are going on. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, bro, when I was a kid, I had no idea about the president of the United States till I was like, later on in middle school, I.

[A]

Was thinking about that.

[B]

I didn't care. That was like a. That was like an Anka thing to think about. Now these kids, like, talking about, like the president and stuff.

[A]

Like they're making fun of him.

[B]

Yeah. Making fun of them saying things, you know, or like, other like that's kind of like relatable to that. And I'm like, damn, that's crazy.

[A]

That is crazy.

[B]

But, yeah, things like that, that made me young. So that was a story that I had to share with you.

[A]

It's a good story. That's actually pretty crazy. Yeah.

[B]

The whole 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

It was almost a little powerful.

[A]

Everybody, bro.

[B]

Everybody, everybody, bro. And then that's it. No more 8, 9, 10.

[A]

It's over. Back to 1, 20 minutes later.
