A
Wait, I don't mean to call you guys. I'm just. I'm in the mood. I'm in the. I'm in a. I'm in the. This is the mood I'm in.
B
Finally, bro. I actually felt bad last week that you were, like, really sick.
A
Dude, shout out to Modern medicine. I know a lot of people aren't big on antibiotics, and neither am I because I know they can cause some serious issues, but when you are in need of antibiotics, the miracles that it can produce. I had a viral infection, and I went to urgent care because I told Mo. I was like, something's seriously wrong with me, and this is not just, like, a little sickness. I can handle it.
B
And Josh Leyva just doesn't go to urgent care.
A
I'm almost like. I don't want to say embarrassed to go, but I'm like, it's not that serious. You know what I mean? I'm 35. I'm healthy. I'm young. I'm in. I've got in my blood work. I don't have anything wrong with me.
B
You box.
A
I box. I'm in great shape. So I'm like, maybe not in great shape. I'm in good shape, and Depends who you ask.
B
Depends who you ask.
A
Depends who you ask. Depends who you ask. And I just laying in bed, and I was just like, dude. I was, like, sweating. My body was aching, and it just felt severe. And I was like, I've had Covid before. I've actually had Covid three times. And I was like, this feels a little bit bigger than just Covid. So I looked over at Mo, and I was like, I need you to take me to urgent care. Like, I can't even. Like, I didn't. Bro, I was so weak. I didn't even feel like I Wanted to go to urgent care, but my body felt so like devil that I was like, I don't even want to go because I don't have the energy to go.
B
But I was very impressed that you said devil.
A
That's a good one, huh?
B
It's a good one.
A
That's like, like if, you know, you know. Yeah, yeah.
B
Like, you don't just say that.
A
Yes, yes. David, you know, you can't be wearing a Mex Mexico hat if you don't know the word devil.
B
Do you know how to spell it? I think it's. I think it's D, E, V, I, L. That sounds right, Deel.
A
Yeah, let's go with that.
B
Well, great choice of words.
A
Vocabulary. Yeah.
B
Nice vocabulary you got today. Therefore, you can tell that the antibiotics are putting.
A
They're kicking in.
B
I think they, they, they, they showed you some new words.
A
So we drove to urgent care. And I knew. And dude, like, when I walked into urgent care, there was like a. I guess it's like the nurse, because before you see the doctor and they check your blood pressure, they ask you all the questions this lady and shout out to her. She was like a ray of sunshine that I just did not need or deserve because she had so much energy, dude. And so like, bubbly and just want so chit. Chatty, dude, I'm dying. And she's like asking me all these questions about my day and my life. And I'm like, dude, I can't do this right now. But I tried to give her as much as I could and. And then I almost feel like the doctor came in and he was like, you're. This is like a little like, bullshit case. Like, almost like he didn't take me too seriously because he was like, you're good, bro. Like, look at you. Like, what a man. Like, you're fine. And then I was like, I think I don't want to say what I have because kind of like, it's not that serious. It wasn't serious. It's not like a viral infection, right?
B
Yeah.
A
And well, then that sounds. Does that sound worse?
B
A viral infection is just an infection that post a tick tock and it goes viral.
A
Yeah. So anyways, they do the test and then they're like, oh, yeah, you totally have a viral infection. I was like, oh, my God.
B
Bacterial.
A
Bacterial infection. What did I say?
B
They can be viral infections is the thing, I think.
A
Yeah, a viral bacterial infection. And so anyways, I got antibiotics and he told me, he was like. And I could tell his whole demeanor changed towards me. He was like, like, we got to get you on antibiotics. Like this is like, you know, I want to make sure you're okay. This is like, could be serious if you don't treat it. Because they can, if you don't treat certain like bacterial infections, bro, they can cause long term health like in your heart and your, in your lungs and your, in your vital organs. So we got, I got on it, dude, I'm not even joking. I took the, the antibiotic. Within two hours. I was like, wow, I feel better. And I don't know if it was placebo, but he told me he goes, Within 24 hours you're going to be, you're almost going to be back to normal, dude. Within 24 hours I'm like, fucking yeah, you're good. Golden goose. It's been more than 24 hours at this point. But you know.
B
Yeah, no, you're, you're money right now.
A
I'm money. I'm money.
B
Yeah. In the last episode you're like really down. You're like, guys, I am so sorry. Like, dude, I had and like I understood it cuz I, I, I kind of felt that way recently when we got back from, from our, one of our trips.
A
Yeah.
B
And I'm like, bro, it's the worst feeling feeling like that.
A
I know.
B
Yeah.
A
So you got to listen to your body. I think it's important. I think as guys, we tend to be a little bit more like, I don't need to go to the doctor. That was kind of my attitude.
B
Yeah.
A
You know what I mean? Like always like that.
B
I've always been like that.
A
I can beat this, you know. But I really was like, I got to go, I got to go. See cuz this feels a little more out of the norm. And thank God I went because I, I think it could have gone away on its own. But if it's not treated correctly, it could also cause issues. That's what I meant. Like it can cause issues if you don't treat it. And I know a lot of people are against antibiotics, right? I didn't realize that because they could also cause like issues as well.
B
Everything causes.
A
I don't know, bro, but thank God for modern medicine or else I wouldn't be feeling the way I'm feeling right now.
B
Modern medicine, brother.
A
It's science, baby. Welcome to the future.
B
The anti devil medicine. Well, I'm glad you're okay.
A
I'm good, bro.
B
I'm glad that you feel better. You're energized. You're the Josh Layo, right?
A
Now look, I need you to do the intro because I have a really cool question I want to ask you. And we're gonna dive into this episode and look at me, I'm ready to lie.
B
Let's do it. How do we do intros again? That's right. Welcome back, everybody, to La Platica. Make sure to follow us on YouTube and Instagram and tick tock descriptions down below. This video is sponsored by SeatGeek, number one ready taking app on the App Store.
A
Shall we?
B
We've been using se a lot.
A
A lot.
B
We hope that you guys are enjoying your guys's week. Another fun, amazing episode this week we don't miss.
A
We do not miss. That is one thing about us we do not do.
B
That we do not miss. We just did San Jose.
A
Yes, we did. We did San Jose.
B
We just did San Jose. Probably one of our biggest shows to date. Yeah. Amazing.
A
They invented the word hyphae, dude.
B
They went. They invented the word hyphen and we got hyphen by.
A
Go ahead.
B
Oh, no, go for it.
A
I was going to say we're in the middle of October right now. Halloween's around the corner. This isn't the question that I want to ask you, by the way. Are you dressing up this year? We.
B
We should.
A
We should.
B
Yeah.
A
Should we do a Halloween episode?
B
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do. What's this one? Yeah. When we come back.
A
Okay. The next one.
B
Yeah, the next one. Yeah. So the next episode we should be dressed up.
A
Yeah.
B
And maybe we could have Jess help. Yeah, cool.
A
Spook it up. Let's put the TVs like spooky vibes.
B
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. 100.
A
I'm down for Christmas. We gotta go all out. I feel like we haven't really leaned.
B
Yeah. And then comment down below if, like last year, obviously we did a. We did a super viral infection. Huh? The Grinch. And then I was Cindy Lou who.
A
Yeah.
B
And that was fun. Yeah. I don't think I will do Cindy Lou who again because that nose that I had on, it was really hard to breathe. Breathe out of that.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
And. But comment down below and let us know what we should be Christmas themed. You know what I mean? Like, I want to know your guys thoughts of what we should dress up as and if we should do like the whole cosmetic.
A
I want to say we should, bro, because one, it was fun. The people that we hired are incredibly talented, incredible. And it's just so cool to see that whole process go down and become that. And I think that we should do it again. Why not?
B
We should.
A
We're gonna die one day. Let's just do it.
B
We are.
A
You know what I mean? That leads me perfectly into my. Hold on.
B
I want to let people know that the last show is in Riverside.
A
Yes.
B
Riverside County. November in California. Southern California, November 8th. It's the last show. So if you weren't able to go to any of the shows, if you especially weren't able to go to Los Angeles show, the first one in Brea, which was amazing. It's probably still probably one of my top top three shows. Get your tickets link in the description.
A
I agree. Brea was definitely a top show. Look, LA shows out for la platica and we love la. Obviously born and raised here and the. The love out here is different but everywhere we've gone it's been incredible. But we wanted to do a second show in. I guess LA is not considered Riverside, but still in the region, you know what I mean? Like it's considered the IE Shout out to. But we got a big ass theater in Riverside. So this is a show for people in LA to like, you know, make your way. Last Club.
B
Legendary Fox Theater.
A
Legendary Fox Theater. My whole family's gonna be there. Your whole family.
B
Especially for Josh and myself too because like growing up. Yeah. Like Cerritos, Norwalk, like that's where we live. But throughout our life we spent a majority of our time. And I lived in Riverside for, for many years. You know what I mean? So it's. It's super special for myself and I know it is for you too. I love Riverside. Yeah, I love Riverside County. Shout out. Moreno Valley. Shout out. Rialto, Fontana. Around Chukamonga, Upland. Harupa Valley. Upland. I want to name all of them right now. Shout out to Marietta, Temecula, Lake, Elsinore. Like all the Inland Empire. Corona, Norco.
A
Yeah.
B
Redlands.
A
Yeah.
B
San Bernardino. Yucaipa. Colton.
A
Does it end?
B
Damn, I'm on fire.
A
Does it end at Redland?
B
Is that the last like big city, like Redlands? Yucaipa.
A
Okay. It goes deeper. Like IE goes deeper. What's after the ie? What's past the ie? The ie.
B
I. Should I pull it up? Yeah.
A
I'm kind of curious. There has to be more, right? Or is it just like. Bro, you ever been on an airplane and you're just flying over the the.
B
US like, never been on an airplane. Some people haven't. Isn't that crazy?
A
No, I know. And you, you're flying over the Us. And you just look outside the window, and it's just land after land after land after land. It's just so much empty land.
B
Yeah.
A
It's just so crazy how, like, people. We tend to, like, migrate to, like, only specific places around the country, but majority of the country, I almost feel like is unoccupied is just terrain.
B
Yeah.
A
Mountains. And maybe it's unlivable. I don't know.
B
Dang. I got it all right here.
A
Tell me. Phone.
B
Actually, this hits a lot, bro. Inland Empire goes all the way to, like, Victorville. Like, stuff like that. Like, damn, that's crazy. Snow summit. Silverwood Lake, Palm Desert. Chino. Chino Hills, Ontario. How can I. How can I forget about Ontario?
A
How could you?
B
So everybody that I named right now, your city. Go.
A
Yeah.
B
Go get your tickets, dude. Yo. Get your tickets, dude. Dude, I'm so excited, and I know I want to talk about this live show. I feel like we've been talking about the live show so much, and, like, it kind of like. Come on, bro.
A
I'm like, a good show, man.
B
Am I. Am I boring people?
A
But, yes, you're boring me.
B
But it's exciting, and it's super exciting because this is in our hometown, and we're gonna have a lot of friends and family at this one.
A
You're also wearing a 3x T shirt right now.
B
And make sure to get your merch, too.
A
You're wearing a NVivo 3XL, bro.
B
Can you see that?
A
You know what's crazy? That 3XL actually, like, fits you, like, nicely.
B
Well, I cropped it.
A
Yeah.
B
By the way, I just got back from cycling.
A
You know, we should do.
B
Bro, sorry, I should know Ring.
A
We should offer free crop if you buy merch and just have Dooney's cropping shirts, right? Buy a shirt, free crop.
B
Buy a shirt. Ryan will crop it for you. Your question, sir? Guys, get the tickets, please.
A
Yes. We want to see you guys.
B
We want to see you guys. And I don't want you to not get a seat that you don't want. And then, yeah, Riverside is gonna be cracking.
A
We're gonna go all off for that show. This is the last one. We're putting our heart into it. Not that we haven't for the others, but, like, this is where we're the final stop.
B
Yeah. And we will. We should give away tickets. Tickets. So let's pick five winners that get plus ones. So let me know if you want to go. And I get plus ones.
A
So that's five plus one. Plus one is carry the five. So that's five plus one dot so.
B
We'Re giving away 10 tickets.
A
We're giving away. Wait, hold on. Is that correct?
B
Yeah.
A
Wait, five plus one. There's five of them plus one.
B
Yeah.
A
Six plus four plus four, ten. Yeah.
B
Hopefully you don't didn't confuse anybody.
A
Yeah.
B
So if you want to go to the Riverside, dude, like last time, please don't be private. Or like at least let us message you your Instagram and just say, yo, I'm trying to go to the Riverside show. Give me my tickets, my boy.
A
Yeah.
B
And then we'll pick five. Yeah.
A
And then our.
B
And then you can bring somebody.
A
Jess will DM you, hit you up and get you all set up.
B
Yeah.
A
So I said something earlier. I said we're gonna die one day.
B
Yes.
A
We don't know our destiny on how that's gonna happen, when that's gonna happen. So this is kind of a two part question. I just came up with this and I'll ask you the first one because it's a little bit more of a softball. I think I've asked you this before, but would you like to know the day and how you're gonna die?
B
No.
A
You would not like to know?
B
Fuck no. I live with anxiety. Yeah. I'd be depressed. It would make me not want to do any. I'll take that back. Yeah, I guess. Would you really take it the right way? You would need to go all out in your life.
A
Would you like to know?
B
But if people don't know. Uhhuh. Or if people do know when they're going to die, I think people, they would go crazy.
A
Yeah.
B
And they would become really psychotic and they would. And they would do bad things in society. Cuz they don't care.
A
Yeah, that's true.
B
And they're just more reckless. I think that that would happen. Yeah.
A
There's people that live like that already. So imagine having that, I guess, knowledge and then being like it. Like having that like it. There's a you should have a it attitude.
B
You should.
A
To a degree.
B
To a degree.
A
You know what I mean?
B
No, I wouldn't want to know. No, no, no. That's scary.
A
Have you heard that thing on Tik Tok? This isn't the question yet, by the way.
B
I'll get.
A
I'll let you know when the question this is.
B
Oh, you haven't even got the first part out.
A
But this is all tied into it. I'll be honest. It's all tied into it. This guy goes up to this random person, he goes, if I gave you $10 million. Would you accept it? I'll ask you, if I gave you $10 million, would you accept it?
B
I think I've seen this, but yes.
A
Yeah. You would accept it. Okay. Now, the catch was you get $10 million, but tomorrow you're not going to wake up. You're going to be dead.
B
Yeah.
A
Would you still take the money?
B
If I take the money, I'm dead.
A
If you take the money, I'm dead the next day.
B
The next day, yeah. If I don't take the money, I live.
A
You live?
B
Yeah.
A
Would you take them 10 million?
B
No. Okay.
A
So he goes, he proceeds to say, then your life is worth more than $10 million. So we got to walk around like that, like it's like it is, Right. We tend to make money, everything, but if you're, if you get all the money in the world, but then you get a diet and it's pointless. So living is worth way more than any amount of money.
B
I love that when that guy said that.
A
Yeah, it's great. Not my question.
B
Yeah.
A
But I was gonna say something. What were we talking about? We were talking about knowing. Not knowing. I wouldn't want to know either, by the way. I, I, I don't think it's something I, It's. I just want to live my life. I'm not trying to be worried about. I got too many other. I'm worried about right now. I don't need to worry about when I'm gonna die. You know what I mean? I just let that be when it is, you know? Have you heard the theory about, like, that we, that we, we might never die and it might just be like we just kind of wake up in, like, an alternate, like, universe or something like that, Bro, that, to me, I.
B
Don'T know why it makes sense.
A
It doesn't, like, really, like, freak me out in the sense I'm like, that's kind of interesting. Like, I'm not.
B
Yeah, I don't see why that wouldn't happen either. Yeah, it almost, like, makes sense.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, you might like, what if, what.
A
If we've already died in another universe? That time that you were almost going to die, almost got hit by a car, almost, whatever it is, and it actually happened, but then we just continued. I don't know. I've never.
B
No, yeah, you're. Because if, because if you're already thinking about, and if you believe in the fact that when you die that you automatically don't really realize that you're dead, you're just in another alternate parallel universe. Yeah. Then you have to believe that you already died.
A
Yes. I will say though, the reason I have a hard time believing. Have you ever had something like kind of crazy happen to you and you realize how fast shit just happens in life and you're like, damn. Like, you just never know. Like something quick could just happen and like your whole life kind of just changes?
B
Yeah.
A
You know, so that's why I'm kind of like, I think death is real. It is, obviously, but like, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, it's, it's real.
B
Yeah. It's just, it's. Isn't it so crazy how it's the only thing guaranteed in our life is, is to die? But we just, you know, this is like a scary thing to talk about because a lot of people are very like, well, I know what's going to happen when, when you die. We go to heaven or we do this, we do that. Yeah, but do you, you know what I mean? And I, I believe you do. I. I want to believe you do, you know? Yeah, but it's like one of the only things that's like, it's not on paper.
A
Cuz here's my problem.
B
I. But like I said, I believe that we all go to heaven and you know, because that's what I believe in.
A
But look, I'm, I'm. I will be honest. I'll be fully vulnerable here. I would say I'm a man of faith. Like I believe in God. I believe in. I believe that there, there is a heaven. I believe that Jesus came to earth. I believe all that. Me too. I really do. But I would be lying to you if I didn't have a little bit of doubt. And I think that doubt is good. That's what kind of like is what faith is about.
B
Right? That's what, that's how God intended us to be. Right?
A
Yeah. Like we don't know. We don't know. So I want to say that I know that I know that I know that I kind of don't know because.
B
It'S like, it's kind of referring back to the same exact question that you just told me is would you want to know when your date of when you're going to pass away? It's the same thing of would you like to know if there's a heaven? Because if we didn't know that there's a heaven, how would we live our life?
A
Fake.
B
How would we really live our life?
A
Fake. We'd be fake. I feel like people would be fake.
B
Sure. And the only People that would fake reckless, different. Yeah. How would. We really would. We would change. We would. You wouldn't be, like, the way that you are.
A
Yeah.
B
People wouldn't be. People wouldn't have ambition like they do. People wouldn't shoot for the stars like.
A
They do, take chances.
B
People, you know, like the most amazing humans in the world. They wouldn't.
A
Yeah.
B
You know, they. They wouldn't be who they are because of the what if. What. What's out there? Of the. You know, the what's out there for me is the question. Right. So it's the same question that you asked me. So it's like if you did you want to. Do you want to know if there's a heaven? And if they say yes, no, or whatever, and we actually know it's on paper, what happens when we pass away? We are going to be completely different.
A
Completely different people.
B
And that's not good.
A
It's not good. But that just goes to show, I think it kind of, like, illustrates how I'm trying to articulate this because, like, God is everything, right? And he is. I don't want to. God is the only creator that knows your heart. So you could show me. I could be hanging out with you every single day for 24 hours, nonstop for the rest of our lives, and I will still never really truly know your heart. Heart, heart, heart. Only he would. So I think that's what makes it beautiful. It's like, even though if we knew that we're going to go to heaven because heaven is real, we knew that that was a guarantee. You could be the most perfect human in my eyes. But God, when you get to the pearling gates, will be like, I know your heart, and I know you were faking it. And I know you really. You didn't mean what you were doing. And that's kind of how life is right now, too, right? Like, we have Christians, and this is getting a little, like, it's okay, but like, like, you know who, like, act a certain way, but, like, behind closed doors or, like, their hearts are, like, not in the right place, bro. And that, to me is.
B
And that's not just Christians. It's all of us.
A
That's all of us. You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. That's. That's everybody. But it's just kind of interesting. You know what I mean? It's just kind of interesting. Like. But what's the saying in Spanish.
B
Yeah, right.
A
That's why.
B
And you even got them in Spanish, too.
A
Yeah, I think. I think.
B
Wear that Hat more often.
A
Yeah.
B
You've been going to hella Mexico games, bro. You're awesome.
A
That's sick, bro. I got construction going on in my house right now. G. Those are teaching you how tall boys. Let's get it cracking, boy.
B
Bunch of two by fours and nails everywhere. Sig Bu. Your f. Yeah, no, that. That's actually a really good saying. Yeah, you're absolutely right.
A
And, and that's, that's what I think. Like to your point that like we knew life would be so different, but I think it would still almost be the same. Because it's the same thing as life right now. Like we see people but we don't know people, you know?
B
Sure. Yeah. I don't know, man. I just really feel like if we knew that there, it's not even about heaven or hell, right? Or we are reincarnated into a fucking squirrel. If, if humans knew, if life knew what happens after we die, I think our mentality would. I don't know, our mentality would completely change.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
B
And us forever not having that answer. I think that's what makes us human too. I think that's why, you know, because if we knew what would happen, if we knew what was happening, we wouldn't be scared.
A
I know. You need a little bit of that scare, huh?
B
Yeah.
A
You need a little bit of the unknown.
B
And I'm not saying like scared to like die or anything. I'm not saying like you're going to jump off a skyscraper because like who cares if I just splat. Yeah, I know it's going to happen. I'm just saying you wouldn't be scared to take risks, you know, you wouldn't be scared to be ambitious.
A
Have you ever met somebody who you asked them about like the like what the. The afterlife and stuff and they're like almost so certain about like what it is.
B
Yeah.
A
And then you're like. You almost kind of buy into it a little bit. But then you're like. You really don't know either though.
B
Yeah.
A
You don't know. Like, you might feel so confident, but you don't know.
B
No. Yeah.
A
But I also love hearing about like what's it called? There was like a movie called like Flatliners where like they kind of like trick themselves into like dying. They get like on the verge of death and they get experienced death and then they like come back. There's that. Those are real things that happen to people. Like people like die and then they like come back and I've heard about it.
B
I've never seen like that movie.
A
But yeah, it's not a great movie. I think I saw it and I.
B
Was like, this movie.
A
But the concept. I was like, this is a badass concept. But that's a whole thing that people study. They study people who have, like, crossed over to, like, the other side.
B
It is crazy how, like.
A
And then a lot of the studies are similar. They're like, similar. People experience.
B
There's. There's actual real facts that, like, these people experience some sort of.
A
Out of.
B
This world type of energy. Yeah. You know, it is crazy. And it's crazy how, like, even if you're. Cuz I do believe that your body can be on the verge of death and your body is shutting down and, you know, I don't know what doctors can do or just your body in general brings you back to life. And it's crazy. At that moment, your body goes through these chemicals or these imbalances where you're just like. It's. It. It's. You are witnessing death.
A
Yeah.
B
In a certain way.
A
Yeah.
B
You know what I mean?
A
It's.
B
It's.
D
It's.
B
It's kind of crazy.
A
Yeah.
B
Life is crazy, bro.
A
It is.
B
And we don't even think about it.
A
I do a lot.
B
Some do, but we don't really, like, think. Think about it.
A
Yeah. Yeah.
B
You know what I mean? Like, we don't wake up and study our, like, our human anatomy and our lives like that. Some people do, but we don't. We just. All right, time to go to the gym.
A
Yeah.
B
Time to do this. Yeah. Time to do that. Time to eat. But if we really focus on, like, the little. The little, like, what really matters, you know? I know, but yeah, it is kind of crazy.
A
All right, so should I hit you with my question or should we go on break? Guys, Dia de los Muertos is here. And you already know Tes Salud is gonna celebrate in a big way, my boy.
B
In a huge way. Guys, Tasty is gonna be in downtown San Pedro on the Dia de los Muertos Festival, October 26th. PZ, I'm gonna be there.
A
Are you pulling up? I'm gonna pull up.
B
It's gonna be fun, man.
A
You gonna go?
B
Let's go. Shoot.
A
I'm gonna be there. The Tes Salute team is gonna be there. Guys, we would love to meet you guys. We're gonna be giving out free samples. We're going to be selling product at a discount. It's family friendly. Bring your kids, bring your. Bring your neighbors, bring everybody. It's a beautiful festival. Dia de Los Muertos Festival. And we can't wait to see you there.
B
Hey, like Josh, Leo says, it's going to be a party. Oh, it's going to be a party, yo. I can't wait, man. Incredible. Let's go.
A
October 26th. We'll see you guys there. Dia de los Muertos Festival. Te salud. In the building, my man.
B
I got one word. Boo.
A
Can I ask you my question?
B
Ask it.
A
So all of these questions that I've been waiting, prepping you for or for this question, okay. And I'm not gonna lie, built me.
B
Up to this question just so you.
A
Can fall and splat right on your face. The. The questions I feel like I was asking earlier were a little bit better than this question, but there's this hole.
B
So you build me up with sick ass questions, which I think we answered them pretty cool.
A
I think they're pretty cool.
B
Jesse gave me a shitty question.
A
It's not a shitty question, but it's just like, damn, those other questions are a little deeper and like they kind of like. I'm like, damn. There's this whole, you know, hot, you know, hot ones, like, they, they do the questions. The hot wings amazing show. I feel like that kind of started a trend where people are like trying to like recreate a show like that. And there's a big show right now that's kind of taking off. I don't know if you've seen it on YouTube. It's called your last meal. So they bring on these like massive celebrities, bro. Like almost like hot ones. And they ask, you know how people if they're gonna face the death penalty. They, they get like a last meal.
B
They're on death row.
A
Yeah, on death row. And, and they get to eat any meal that they want.
B
The day or the day prior to.
A
The moments prior, bro. Like, it could be. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. So the concept is kind of crazy. Like imagine you're. You knew you were going to die, but you get to eat like one meal, One last meal. What is that meal going to be?
B
For me, it would be a meal that would last me another year to eat it. And then they would have to delay my.
A
No, no, you had to. You had to pick a meal.
B
So that's my question.
A
That's the question. What would be your last meal?
B
Damn, bro. Mr. Monopoly here. Monopoly is back at McDonald's. Register in the McDonald's app. So you're ready to get your bag. Two ways to peel for a chance to get your bag physical peels with select items and digital peels with others. To get your bag, play Monopoly at McDonmies.
A
No purchase necessary. See rolls at play@mcd.com for full details and amoe.playmcd.com to play without purchase ends November 23rd, but bonus play ends November 2nd. Monopoly is a registered trademark of Hasbro. Copyright McDonald's.
B
I'm on death, bro.
A
Yeah, and the way they. Excuse me, the way they do it is like they bring the meal for the person, but they have to talk about why that meal is, like, so like, meaningful to them and important and all that stuff. The show is really good, bro, because the guy who interviews them is kind of like a Sean Evans, like the guy from Hot Ones, and he has, like, really good questions. I don't have any good questions for you. Besides, what the fuck, you know?
B
That's a good question.
A
Can I tell you mine? Because I kind of thought about it.
B
Yeah, tell me.
A
Yeah, so they actually do three meals on the show. They let them do, like, three different kind of meals, but we'll just keep it in one just so it doesn't have to, like, prolong. But I would do so. My family's from Sinaloa and my grandma would always go visit because so two of my uncles, they. They. They died in Mexico before my. My family immigrated to. To the U.S. yeah. And they're buried in Sinaloa. So my grandma always goes to visit, like, their cemetery and stuff like that. I don't know why I feel emotional like that, but my grandma, like, would always. She always brings machaka, which is like dried up beef. And it's really popular in Sinaloa, right? Like, it's like, really what they're known for. And so she would always bring bags, bro, like kilos of machaka from my mom and me. Because my mom, like, loves machaca. And therefore, like, she would always make me. I love machaka con huevos, bro. She would always cook that for me when my grandma would bring it over from Sinaloa. And I don't know, like, it just like, first of all, I love machaca. Like, just like, if I didn't even have a backstory. I love machaka. I love the way it tastes, but I love the. The heart of where it comes from and the story and how it. How it comes. And then my mom cooking it for me, and she loves to make it because she knows how much I love it. And she puts like, tomate savoya and she, like, makes it a whole meal, dude. And then I get like, tortillas and everything, bro. It's a whole salsa.
B
Some salsa, eggs on the side.
A
Yes. I haven't had it in a while because my grand. It hasn't gone in a minute. But that would be my last meal.
B
Fire.
A
Fire, bro. But it would be. They would have to be the machaka from Sinaloa. So if I was on that show, I would make those, because that's what they do. They go get it, bro. In the show. They don't just, like, make it. They go get it from wherever they said that they got it from.
B
You're lying.
A
I swear. It's cool.
B
It's like a whole.
A
Yeah. Wow.
B
Okay. Yeah, yeah, that's cool. You're gonna have to send me the. The link.
A
Yeah, yeah.
B
To watch it.
A
I think it's called Last Meal.
B
Last meal. Yeah. Ma is great. And the fact that you say that your grandma knows how to make it right. It's a big deal, bro. I went to this restaurant recently.
A
Yeah.
B
I ordered them. It was cool. But I'm like. I was like, this ain't it. It has to be a little chewy.
A
Yes.
B
Almost like a little, like, beef jerky. Like beef jerky. Like dry but not dry.
A
No.
B
It's weird. It's like a. These were like. This is just like shredded beef.
A
No, no, no, no.
B
And like, water and, like, juicy.
A
The. It comes down the. The oil. The. That they use to, like, cook it and everything. And it.
B
Dude, there's a.
A
There's a skill to it. You're absolutely right. You're absolutely right.
B
I don't know, bro. It's. That's so difficult.
A
There's a spot in the valley because I'm like, cafe de olla.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
They do machaka conos there, and it's actually pretty good.
B
Dude, I forgot about that spot.
A
Yeah.
B
It's in Burbank.
A
Oh, it's in Burbank. Yes, yes, yes.
B
Yeah, that spot's fire, bro. I forgot about that spot. It still doesn't be my favorite restaurant in the valley. They have breakfast, lunch, whatever you want. Okay. Is Donyana still my favorite? Wow. They have the best.
A
No, everything. Really?
B
Everything, bro.
A
You gotta take me. You've never taken me.
B
I haven't taken you.
A
Never been.
B
Okay. I don't know what my. My last meal would be. It would have to be something that I always crave. Yeah. When I get back to L. A. Something I always crave when I go on a cheap. When I get a cheap meal, what am I going to get? You know? Because that's what I'm thinking about, right? It's going to have to be either like in and out or like a fucking huge ass fucking combo pizza.
A
Yeah.
B
You know what I mean? Like that's my thing. Yeah, I do. I want it to be Mexican food. Yeah, of course.
A
No, but bro, but like there's nothing.
B
Like just going to in n out and like eating a fudgeing cheeseburger.
A
Can I tell you my favorite way.
B
To eat and style fries?
A
I'm gonna, I'm gonna say something that I feel like not a lot of people talk about. The way in n out is they come in a little bolita, right? Like a little like paper bag.
B
I eat that.
A
Great. So and the way it is is that the burger is like sticking up, right. And it just looks delicious. Okay.
B
Fire.
A
You're supposed to take it out of the, the, the borsita.
B
You don't have to. It looks at you like this.
A
Yeah, yeah, but you don't have to. But bro, when you take it out of the bolita and then you take out the, the, the paper and then you flip it and all the juices sit at the bottom and you eat that. You eat that.
B
Nobody has ever said that.
A
Dude. You flip that bitch over and you eat the ass, bro. Dude, that part right there, that part right there is why I love In n Out, bro. That is where my heart's at.
B
It's in. You did not just say that. You eat the double double's ass first.
A
First, bro, I didn't even know the.
B
Double double had a man.
A
Oh, eat it up next time, bro. Flip that over.
B
So you're saying they give it to you in the walsita.
A
Yeah.
B
And it's always, and it's always looking at you like, like I said, like beautiful, beautiful presentation. Right? You take it out.
A
Yeah.
B
It's not easy to take it out.
A
No, Try kind of tight.
B
So all of the juices are that you flip it and that's your first bite.
A
That's my first bite.
B
Orgasmic.
A
Yes. And then what it's allowing it to do is all the juices already floated to the bottom. Now start making their way to the other way.
B
That' like. Yeah. Cuz there's no juices when you first. Even though it's already delicious.
A
Yeah. Wow.
B
Yeah. I'm kind of mind blown right now that even you're such a fat ass that you're like, what can I do to eat you right now? Where's the best. The first thing that you thought was like, what's going to be the most epic first bite. You know what? What happens if I flip this?
A
Let me ask you something. You know about this. This one time, we bought sandwiches to go to the beach, all of us. We did, like a friend's beach day, okay? And I felt bad because I was like, bro, these sandwiches have been sitting in the back for like an hour. And what did you say to me?
B
That's a. They're even better.
A
That's when they're the best. Because they, like, they marinate, right? Like, they get the juices, get into the bread, right? Same thing with the burger, bro. That's where it's all at. That's where the marinade. That's where the sitting is. Is at.
B
I know, I know. So, you know, growing up, we didn't have that much money, right? So my mom, when we would go to Disneyland, which wouldn't be too often, but when we'd go, we'd go when the doors open, right? But the night prior, she'd make sandwiches for all of us. There's a lot of us, five kids, my mom, my dad. And probably. Probably the only reason why we're going is because my Thea in town or something like that, you know, that's coming from Mexico and she's never been, so we all look out. But it's so funny. And my mom loved doing this. She makes sandwiches just like, come on. Tomatoes, mustard, mayonesa. That's it. Did I say, come on, bro?
A
I don't understand the. The mayonnaise slander. I don't get how people don't like mayonnaise.
B
That's another conversation.
A
But do you feel me? Can you disagree?
B
It's ridiculous.
A
That's insane to me anyways.
B
I mean, if I say no mayonnaise, it's because maybe I'm watching my Mac.
A
Of course.
B
But what the. If you actually don't like mayonnaise.
A
That'S crazy.
B
That's pena. If you don't like. And I'm looking at you right now, if you don't like mayonnaise. Two words, bro.
A
Honestly, it's crazy. That's crazy.
B
Like, I feel bad for you.
A
It's almost like, dude, you're, like. You're robbing yourself of, like, the enjoyment of life a little bit.
B
Yes. And not only that, it's just like, why? What happened to you? Yeah, it's not that it tastes like either.
A
No, it doesn't.
B
It's great. You know what it is? You're not taking spoonfuls of mayonnaise.
A
No, but there's something. You would.
B
But there's something about mayonnaise. And the only reason why manic mayonnaise exists is because it complements all the other condiments so well. Mm. It's a binder.
A
It's a binder.
B
It's a. It's an amazing, juicy binder. But, yeah. What was I saying? Yeah. So my mom, she makes. She'd get a bag of white bimbo bread. Okay. Which is the best?
A
The best, bro.
B
Best.
A
When's the last time you've bought it?
B
Since I live with my parents.
A
Really?
B
And I never bought it. My mom did.
A
Bro, just go buy some again. It's still good. I recently bought some, like, within the past, like, six months. And I was like, ah, this is delicious.
B
Yeah, it's incredible, bro. I don't know what the.
A
Sorry I keep cutting you off, bro. I'm really sorry I'm so chatty today.
B
It's the antibiotics.
A
Even a sandwich, bro. With jamon and mayonnaise, bro. With delicious.
B
That's it.
A
Jalapenos, bro. You're set.
B
Yeah. Sandwich blanco.
A
Yes.
B
With mayonnaise.
A
Yes.
B
American Kraft cheese. Oh. Uno jalapenos. Uno jalapenos. Close that.
A
Let it sit.
B
Pick what ass you want. Start off, but let it sit. Let it sit. Let it sit.
A
Smash it, dude.
B
Yeah, but now that's a real.
A
I love it.
B
That's the Mexican uncrustable.
A
Yeah, dude.
B
Is palm bimbo, Mayonesa, Kraft American single cheese.
A
Some Doritos.
B
Sure, Doritos.
A
You want to be fancy on the side.
B
Smash that.
A
Smash that.
B
Let it sit for. Let it marinate for like 10 minutes.
A
Yeah, 10 minutes while you make another one. Yeah.
B
And then smash that. That's the Mexican uncrustable.
A
That's the Mexican dream.
B
But going back to the soggy is. We'd go to Disneyland and the night priority. My mom would make sandwiches. So she get the palm bimbo. You know how it's long and so the bag's long. It's like a super huge condom. So she'd make the sandwiches, right? One by one, she'd probably make. She'd make any. All the sandwiches that the bread would come. So if the bread comes with, like, 20 slices, 10 sandwiches.
A
Yeah, sure, give or take.
B
And then she could.
A
But you throw away, not including the ass of the. Of the. Of the thing. Or would you guys use the ass?
B
Someone's getting the ass out.
C
I don't mind.
A
I was just about to say I don't mind. I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at it.
B
And honestly, like, it got to a point now where, like, what, are we.
A
Gonna throw it away?
B
No, I got to a point now where I take pride on being the guy that takes the. The first slice.
A
Okay.
B
Like the little firmer short.
A
Yeah.
B
Like deformed slice.
A
Yeah.
B
I take pride in eating that. Now I'm like, I will be the guy. And I like it. And I. And like, when I eat, I'm like, you deserve me.
A
Yeah.
B
You know what I mean?
A
Yeah.
B
So, no, my mom's not throwing away. Someone is just getting that sandwich.
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
It's probably my dad, you know, or somebody.
A
Yeah.
B
But honestly, my siblings never really minded getting it. I don't think so. Anyways, so she'd make all the sandwiches. Let's just say she makes 10 sandwiches and then she puts them back on the. In the bag, right?
A
Yes.
B
So now there's like two of these.
A
Bro.
B
And if I would lose a little instrument tool, that.
A
That.
B
That just keeps it, like, tight, I guess.
A
Yeah.
B
I'd get my ass whooped.
A
Damn. You gotta grab that by the neck.
B
Isn't that so funny?
A
So funny.
B
So she'd put them back in there and mind you, then she just puts them in the fridge.
A
Yeah.
B
And we'll eat them tomorrow.
A
Yeah.
B
So by that time, these are like, mind you, it ain't mayonnaise on the side, my boy. It ain't mayonnaise on the side. The mayonnaise has been marinated, smeared, my boy, on the sandwich, just sitting. So by the next day, and I don't. I'm not eating it when we get there, I'm eating it lunchtime, Disneyland time, which is like around 12, 1 o'. Clock. Yeah. In front of It's a Small World, where all the. There's a thousand cariolas, there's an insanely amount of strollers. Right. That's where we're sitting down and eating.
A
Yeah.
B
And, bro, I kid you not, it's the best sandwich I've ever had.
A
Incredible.
B
Till this day. And the fact that my mom. Imagine that, bro. Like, that does that.
A
No, it's crazy, bro.
B
Like, you know, you really put into. I'm not saying, like, people. Mothers who don't do that don't love them.
A
Still do.
B
They do. But a lot like, they don't. I don't think there's much or many that. That many there is, but not like, you know what I mean?
A
Okay.
B
But you just. You really think about it. You're like, wow. Like, that's so nice of my mom to do that.
A
I know.
B
To do that for her family, you know? Like, that's why I want kids. I want that feeling.
A
I know. They got to just experience that.
B
Yeah. And not mind you. Not only that, but. And I'm sure everybody had this experience, too. Like. Like, if you go to Disneyland or any amusement park, even the night prior, my mom would put all the capri suns in the freezer. Oh. So by the time that you grab ready to drink, they're like half. There's like, half juice, half ice. So the whole time, you thirsty as fucking. And this is gonna last you for six hours, bro. So six hours, just sucking that thing.
A
Let me ask you something. Have you ever flipped a Capri sun on its ass and popped it through the back, bro? Just pop the straw through the back. You know? You have, bro. You're not a 90s kid if you never pop the Capri sun on the ass, bro.
B
I didn't do that, bro.
A
What? You're joking. You never got the straw, flipped the Capri sun over, and popped it from the back? You're lying.
B
Yo. What does that do?
A
It was just a fun thing to do.
B
It was like. A thing?
A
Yeah. You'd pop it in, and then you squeeze it, and then it would all sit, like, a little cup, and then you drink it. It was a thing kids would do.
B
Sit like a cup?
A
Yes, bro. Because the way the comprison is. It's like a little bowl atras. Because the way it, like, folds, it's like a little bowl. I'm not joking.
B
It's like. It's like a. It's like a pouch triangle.
A
Yeah. So it's a triangle like this, and then it's. It. It's tight, and then it goes like this.
B
Yes. Right. So you put the straw there.
A
So you flip it over. You. I'm not joking. You pop that in the ass, and then you would squeeze it, and then it would fill it up.
B
Oh, I get it. Yeah, yeah. And then, yo, you use it as a bowl.
A
As a bowl. It's just a thing like kids would do.
B
Never did that.
A
Never did that.
B
I think you need help, bro.
A
Wow. Probably. Did you ever. Did you ever get, like, a water bottle or, like, a soda and from the cap and you would, like, put the drink on, you would, like, pretend you're taking a shot. Oh, my God. Okay. I was like, so.
B
Yeah, of course.
A
Okay. Yeah, I did.
B
When I was, like, seven, eight years.
A
Did you ever think that the little smarties were, like, vitamins? Or like, when you would play, like, doctor with your Primos and stuff. That those would be, like, the vitamins. As you're a doctor, like medicine.
B
I. I've. I've had Smarties. Yeah. Exactly what you're talking about.
A
He'll be like, oh, this is medicine.
B
It's. I'll tell you something right now. I never played that. You know why? Because Smarties. Smarties, Yeah. I despise those trash candies I can't stand.
A
But I also like the texture when you crunch. Like, I like that.
B
I don't like. I don't like anything about those candies. I think. I think they're gross, and I just don't like them. I never did as a kid. I said, when you go trick or treating.
A
Yeah.
B
Casas would hand over Smarties cheap.
A
Okay. Are Smarties still a thing? Yeah.
B
Yes. They still sell Smarties, like, in bags.
A
Okay. You know which ones I don't like? The candy for me, that's. That is acorns. I hate acorns.
B
Oh, candy corn.
A
Candy corns. Candy corns are candy corn. Not a fan.
B
Really?
A
Not a fan.
B
There's something about this tardiness and peeps.
A
I don't like peeps.
B
I don't like peeps. I don't like peeps. Cool. I don't like peeps.
A
I don't like peeps, bro.
B
I'm a Twix guy.
A
Texas. Okay.
B
I'm a Kit Kat guy.
A
Getting better.
B
What are you? Snickers.
A
Snickers, sure.
B
Yeah, it's goaded. I'm a Twix guy. If you tell me, like, bro, the last candy, like these Snickers or.
A
Or twigs.
B
Twigs. I'm taking twigs.
A
As I've gotten older, I would probably take a Twix over a Snickers because I can enjoy with, like, a little cup of coffee. You know what I mean?
B
A Twix con cafe.
A
Yeah, no, you know what? I'm sure.
B
I respect that.
A
I'm tripping. You're right. Twix are the ones with the care. I'm. I'm confusing them with Kit Kat. Kit Kat you can have with, like, a coffee because it's like. Like a waffle, you know, it has a little snap to it. You know what I mean?
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know which ones, people?
A
You know what, bro? Now that I think about it, I don't like Twix. Twix is, like, kind of mid.
B
Twix are bomb. Nah, dude, you're tripping.
A
Nah, Twix stuff for kids, bro.
B
You're tripping. No one candy that they actually really hate.
A
On this kind of became a Halloween episode.
B
Yeah.
A
We talked about death. Talked about death, talked about candy.
B
I want to talk to you about something. Why did the world all of a sudden start hating that Bad Bunny's gonna do the halftime show? Because what the is that all about?
A
You know what it is, dude.
B
If, like, you know, it's so funny. Like, I feel like I don't. I. I don't know. It's a very, like, tiptoe conversation.
A
It is tiptoe what I want to.
B
Say, but why did this become such a big deal? The motherfucker's American.
A
Yeah. He's from Puerto Rico.
B
Yeah.
A
But regardless, this is. This is America, bro. This is a melting pot of the world. Like, this whole idea that, like, this is white America. Like, that. That's not like. That's not a thing. And that's how people are treating it, I feel. You know what I mean?
B
Yeah. It's disgusting.
A
It's. It's really weird. It's really weird. And I think I kind of like the fact that we met because it kind of exposes people. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I'm like, one. Like you said, Puerto Rico is. Is an American state.
B
Right. I don't think it's.
A
It's not an American state, but it's. Geez, we sound so stupid right now.
B
Well, I don't, because we don't. I don't know. But I know when you're one that you born American.
A
Yeah, it's. It's. It's. What's the word? There's a word.
B
Yeah.
A
American. American. Puerto Rico's American. No, it's not American either.
B
The Puerto Rican.
A
Okay, what are we gonna say, though?
B
I was gonna say that the trips me, I was like. When I first started hearing, I'm like, why?
A
U.S. territory.
B
Yeah, it's U.S. territory. Yes, but you are American. Passport. Ye.
A
So if you were born in Puerto Rico, are you considered an American? That's a good question, right?
B
Yeah.
A
Let's ask Chat. Gbt.
B
You are.
A
Here we go.
B
Chat.
A
We have a quick question for you. You're currently live on the number one Latino podcast in the world. I have a question. If you are born in Puerto Rico, are you considered a U.S. citizen? Will you receive a U.S. passport?
D
Hey, what's up, everyone? And yes, if you were born in Puerto Rico, you are indeed a US citizen from birth. You can get a US passport, just like anyone born in the 50 states. So Puerto Ricans are American citizens and all the way.
A
So is Puerto Rico considered a state or is just considered US Territory.
D
So Puerto Rico is not a state. It's actually a US Territory. That means it's under US Sovereignty and people there have US Citizenship, but it's not a state like California or New York. They do have their own local government, and they don't have voting representation in Congress.
A
But that's interesting. So you can become a US Citizen being born there, but it's not considered a state, and you don't have the right to vote in America.
B
It's just U.S. territories, technically, like Unaisla.
A
Yeah. Fascinating.
B
You should ask him why pendejos are hating on Bad Bunny on the halftime show.
A
Why do you think that so many people, specifically Americans, are hating that Bad Bunny, one of the largest artists on the planet, are. Are hating that he's performing at the super bowl halftime show. Loading information.
B
He got deep.
D
Some people are upset because Bad Bonnie mostly sings in Spanish, and they feel it might not appeal to everyone. Plus, some conservatives, including politicians, think artists should perform in English. His past political comments, especially about Trump, also stirred up some backlash from those groups.
A
Would you say those people are idiots?
D
I'd say it's less about them being idiots, are more about different perspectives.
A
Shut up. They're idiots.
B
They're idiots, bro. But that's the thing, you know?
A
It's like, yeah, their perspective is that they're idiots, bro.
B
What is America? You know what I mean? America is melting pot, baby. It's a melting pot. It's. It's land of opportunity, land of the free, home of the brave, most important land of opportunity.
A
Yeah.
B
Bad Bunny is a. Is a perfect example of the. An American dream.
A
Yeah.
B
That are hating on him. What the Are they doing? And I'm like, they're not even taking advantage of their soil, of where they live, of the opportunities, bro.
A
You could have told me that the band from next door is performing at the halftime show, and I still wouldn't care. Nobody don't care, bro. I don't care, dude. And it's so crazy. I'm like, you're so wrapped up into this like, that you care that much. The performance is 15 minutes. It's 15 minutes. Like, why do you care so much? It's just so weird to me that, yeah, people get so, like, invested, and they get mad and they're pissed, and they're like, this is stupid. I'm like, dude, you need to figure out.
B
I can't stand E. That is why El Barto, that's the president of the United States, is not a good fit for that. Because it creates this environment, this world of these kind of people. And we see it more now because it is almost allowed by Orange Man.
A
You're absolutely right.
B
And that's why it's perfect example of. And it's. It's bad. It's really bad. But yeah, it's ridiculous. And bro, Bad Bunny, JLo, Chakira, J. Balvin, they just performed like what, four or five years ago?
A
Exactly. What the.
B
Nobody was tripping.
A
She was sick.
B
I cannot wait for Bad Bunny.
A
It's gonna be.
B
And you know what? Keep on hating that Bad Bunny is going to do the halftime show because we're gonna watch and we're gonna sing. And if you don't know and if you don't understand what he says, it's okay.
A
You have four months to learn.
B
You got four months to learn or just dance, baby. And that's it. And that is la platica, ladies and gentlemen. That is all the time we have today.
A

Hosts: Sebastian Robles & Josh Leyva
Date: October 20, 2025
Podcast Theme: Sebas and Josh bring a fresh, candid Latino perspective to music, entertainment, and culture, balancing emotional maturity and humor while spotlighting trends, personal stories, and community issues.
In this lively and deeply personal episode, Sebas and Josh start with playful banter, discuss vulnerable moments around health and family, swap stories of cultural nostalgia, and ultimately dive into the controversy surrounding Bad Bunny’s selection as the Super Bowl halftime performer. They use their platform to reflect on Latino identity and belonging in American culture, challenging listeners to rethink divisive narratives and appreciate the American "melting pot."
[03:33 – 08:21]
Josh opens up about feeling severely ill, his reluctance to seek medical help as a man, and how antibiotics quickly helped him recover.
The hosts reflect on masculinity, vulnerability, and the stigma around men attending to their health.
“As guys, we tend to be a little bit more like, I don’t need to go to the doctor… That was kind of my attitude.”
– Josh [07:42]
[09:12 – 15:56]
[16:34 – 28:11]
Sebas poses existential questions: Would you want to know when/how you die?
Both hosts agree “no”—uncertainty gives life meaning.
Discuss wealth vs. life’s value (referencing a TikTok question: Would you take $10M if you had to die the next day?).
The “afterlife” as a source of faith, hope, and, for some, anxiety; the effects on ambition and authenticity if the afterlife were a known fact.
Honest discussion about faith, doubt, and sincerity in religious practice.
“I would be lying to you if I didn’t have a little bit of doubt. And I think that doubt is good. That’s what faith is about.”
– Sebas [21:12]
“If we really focus on what really matters, it is kind of crazy.”
– Josh [28:00]
[29:08 – 41:13]
Inspired by the “Your Last Meal” YouTube show: What would be their final meal?
Sebas’s pick: Machaca con huevos from Sinaloa, lovingly made by his grandmother and mother.
Josh’s pick: Either In-N-Out or a “combo pizza”—but deeply nostalgic for Mexican jamón sandwiches with Bimbo bread, Kraft singles, and mayonnaise.
Joyful reminiscence about Disneyland “soggy” sandwiches and the pride of sharing simple family traditions.
“Let it sit. Let it marinate for like 10 minutes… That’s the Mexican uncrustable.”
– Josh [41:09]
“That’s why I want kids. I want that feeling.”
– Sebas [44:25]
Light-hearted debate about mayonnaise, Smarties, and Halloween candy preferences.
[48:38 – 54:24]
The Controversy:
Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican superstar, is set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, sparking backlash in certain circles (notably conservative/“white America” social media).
“Why did the world all of a sudden start hating that Bad Bunny’s gonna do the halftime show? Because what the is that all about?”
– Josh [48:38]
Hosts’ Response:
“This is America, bro. This is a melting pot of the world. This whole idea that this is white America… that’s not a thing. And that’s how people are treating it.”
– Sebas [49:14]
“Bad Bunny is a perfect example of the American dream.”
– Josh [52:40]
Underlying Issues:
“America is melting pot, baby… Land of opportunity, land of the free, home of the brave.”
– Josh [52:29]
“You have four months to learn or just dance, baby. And that’s it.”
– Sebas [54:24]
On health and masculinity:
“I can beat this, you know. But I really was like, I got to go… This feels a little more out of the norm.”
– Josh [07:52]
Existential wisdom:
“Your life is worth more than $10 million. So we got to walk around like that.”
– Sebas [18:32]
Food and family:
“The mayonnaise has been marinated, smeared, my boy, on the sandwich, just sitting… In front of It’s a Small World… It’s the best sandwich I’ve ever had.”
– Josh [43:09]
Candy debate:
“If you don’t like mayonnaise… you’re robbing yourself of the enjoyment of life a little bit.”
– Sebas [39:06]
On American identity:
“Bad Bunny is a perfect example of the American dream.”
– Josh [52:40]
Final words on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show:
“Keep on hating… We’re gonna watch, and we’re gonna sing. And if you don’t understand what he says, it’s OK. You have four months to learn or just dance, baby.”
– Sebas [54:10]
This episode skillfully blends humor, culture, nostalgia, and sharp social commentary. Sebas and Josh use their chemistry and lived experience to call out xenophobia, uplift Latino voices, and remind listeners of America’s diverse fabric and the power of community. Their call for empathy, understanding, and pride in diversity resonates as they close the show in their signature playful style.
