  Speaker 1: the anecdotes and where we what was left here in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the studio.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm going to mention different categories and each
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: of you are going to tell me what is you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: a moment or an individual with third amigo that comes
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: to mind for that specific category. Okay, we threw in
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a bunch of different categories that are kind of all
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: over the place, because you know, we had so many
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: different guests to speak to, friends, family, people we barely know.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I so excited to dive in with y'all.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Awesome. So the first one is its most energetic.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Guests, most energetic guests, So okay, yeah, who comes to
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: mind that? Like that energy was so high that it
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: kind of brought everyone.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Had a very different level of energy. They're all enthusiastic
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and all stuff. But I think I don't know one
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: comes to mind for me?
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Who's that?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Melissa Ah, Melissa Fromaro, Yeah, Melissa Fromaro or Terry Cruz right,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: they were.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: They were very energetic and and gave us a lot
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: to play off of.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I would I personally named Melissa Fromato because
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: she came here.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she did her Shimi dance. You know, she had
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of energy.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Telling her stories, and she was also very vulnerable, very
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: open with everything she was talking about. I think that,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know, she brought such likeness and charm to it,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and she's just a beautiful person.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: She is agreed all right.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And with Terry, I feel like he brought so much
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: table I didn't even know about, and so like that
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: conversation was all over place because we were learning. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: was learning so much.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: From But that's not energetic. That's where a different category.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I'm jumping category. Let's go to the next. Biggest laugh. Oh,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the biggest laugh, biggest laugh? Who comes to mind?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: What do you think? For you?
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I have to say to Yeah, I mean, he's he's
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: that that dude that sometimes I think like he doesn't
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: realize how naturally.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Funny he is.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: He's so dry and sarcastic and also so creative. He's
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a really talented dude. But yeah, I would say toll
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: for too.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I give him tofer because that dude just knows how
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to make me laugh. And and actually in that conversation,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: he you know, he really surprised me with a lot
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of his uh thoughts about me. And you know, we
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: we in this podcast gave us in his keys to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: say the things we would never have the courage to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: say to each other.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: When we're alone in the dinner, you know.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So it was it was kind of a nice to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to see myself through his eyes and and vice a verse.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I hope it was nice for him too. But but yeah,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: he was hilarious.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And I think that the feedback from all of you
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: at home is that you know that that was one
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of the funniest episodes we've had.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, funny and for me endearing to to see you
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: two together.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Oh cool, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Just kind of seeing your history together. I can just
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: see it in both of your eyes, and it was
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: really wonderful to see you too.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, moving on most unexpected confession.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Oh interesting.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a confession as much as
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it is like I would say, I don't know. I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: think Terry Cruz had such insight and such personal storytelling,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Like you know, he he was born enough to be,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you know, to be emotional with us, and it made
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: us really live and put on his shoes for a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: minute and tell us some of his darkest moments. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: it also allowed us to kind of feel the sunshine
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: as it entered his story and his life. So I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: think for me, I think that was unexpected confessions of
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: his past and where he was in his life. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: know that he's been candid with it in other interviews,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: but I think it felt like because of you and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: your connection with Terry and the familiarity that we all
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: have with him, you know, he was really allowing your
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: himself to be an extra level of vulnerable with the stories.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I felt with Terry. He had such a
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: specific journey and it was wonderful for him to share
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: even those those parts of your journey that some people
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: may find embarrassing or or may find private, and he
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: was very open about it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: And I think that that not.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Only was that wonderful for us, but other people who
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: are going through the same journey and the same struggles.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: It definitely was information that somebody could could listen to
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: and and and could apply to their own lives as well.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: The big I guess the biggest confession also would have
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: come from you when you admitted that you had leather pants.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think that that's when we really dropped the mic.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And yes, fun intended. You know, You're like, I don't
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: know if I were them.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: By the way, for all you guys at home, maybe
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: two days later, I got a picture from Freddy wearing
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: leather pants.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Uh, let you guys do your own research, but look
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: out me.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he outed me, you're out of yourself on the way.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: I was like, I know a lot of those, dude.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I went home and I was like, did I wear
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: another pants? I looked it up and I was like, damn,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I did wear pants?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Alright, We're all right.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Uh, deepest moment, most heartfelt moment.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Hm hmm. I mean, I guess what would it be
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: for you? Let's go with you first.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I know I kind of said this earlier, but it was, uh,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: you know, it was just I found your in toe.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: For his relationship to be really deep, and I love that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Here we are twenty something years later and you still
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: have that sort of same relationship.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: There was so much that was said.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, was there anything in there as you as
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: you just said, Man, we said things on this podcast
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: that we would probably not say to each other, Like,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: was there anything that he had said to you in
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: the podcast that that struck.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: You as really deep? It's something that he wouldn't say
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: to you normally.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he said that that day.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: He said something in the in the in the in
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the form of that I somehow had, you know, a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: contribution into his discovery of how to have fun, how
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: to allow yourself to have fun and not take everything
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that was happening to us, which was a lot, you know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: for our age, and not look at it scary or
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: influential or or or any other way that somehow would
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: trade you away from the simplicity of just like enjoy
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: right now, and and we both kind of embraced that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I think that was there was I think probably one
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of the most the things that kind of you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: comes to mind. I would say also, I think, you know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I think that you and I have been very vulnerable
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: with each other, and the conversations were allowed to kind
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: of tap into some of our deepest you know, if
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it is not insecurity, it's it's like those dark moments
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: where you're like, Okay, what happens next, you know, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: uh new sharing starting a family that really in your life,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you know, that was also something I think that was
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: really deep for me.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: So I would probably nominate you and and probably to
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: for for that.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: How about the quote of the season.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Also, I guess for me.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you know, lou you know Lewis Howell's right,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: is that how you pronounce the name Lewis House. I
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: got to be honest, man, Like, he had a profound
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: effect on me. There was a lot that he said
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: that that really stayed with me.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: I really loved how.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: When I asked him what motivated him to start doing
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: what he was doing, and he said that it was
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: this journey to heal that that that started him on
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: this journey to become the public speaker in the in
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: the public persona that he is, and how and how
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: healing is at the foundation of everything that that he
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: talks about, right, and when he talks about success, when
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: he talks about anything, starting a business, what have you,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: he talks about the importance of healing first so that
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: you have a solid foundation. And he gave this analogy
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: about about squeezing when when when someone is squeezed in
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: a in a stressful situation, whatever is in you is
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: what's going to come out. That's why it's important to
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: heal what's inside, right. It's like it's like when you
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: when you when you squeeze an orange, orange juice comes
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: out right. When you squeeze a grapefruit, grapefruit juice comes
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: out right, and and so whatever's in you is what's
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: going to come out, and so it's important.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: To heal you.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: H I think that that episode personally was also impact
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: for for me because you know, he said something that
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, don't cheat me of treating you.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I remember that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I was like, what, he goes, let me pay for
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: your dinner. I want to do that for you, you know,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and and that that kind of stayed with me in
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: many levels because you know, I always want to pick
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: up the check. I wanna do that, and he goes, well,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: that's how selfish are you to not let me also
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: give you that, you know, And I never heard it
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: that way before, because it's it's it's uncomfortable for some
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of us to.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Not take the lead and be like, it's uncomfortable to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: ask people to play the check. So I'm just gonna
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: pay the whole thing, you know what I mean.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So so that was you know, I'm grateful for him
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and that, and since then, I'll report that I've led
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a few friends of mine split the check.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: It was next, all right, next best story time?
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Oh man.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I thought it was hilarious when Tofer talked about when
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: you would sleep over his house on bunk beds right,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: like I can't imagine like like wolver.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: And Tofa on bunk beds parents house. I think that
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: was a wonderful, endearing.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I love the Terry Crews training day story, like hey, dude,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: they're shooting the movie and then like you know, come
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: out and uh, you know, just check out the shooting
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and they're like, Okay, why don't you just stand here,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you know, and all of a sudden, it's like he
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: had one of the most iconic close ups of all time.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, he just kinda just goes to show
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: how life happens, right, Like that story was, Yeah, when
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: something's gonna manifest from that?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Moving on family vibe or family vibes? Who brought the
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: family vibes?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean I nominate Adam Rodriguez.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were in the living room just talking at
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: this point, right, Adam is great because we were able
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to Here's the thing when the audiences hear names they've
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: never heard of before, but then all of a sudden.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: We're like, yes, yes, all three of us.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: It's like that's when it becomes like more family driven,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: like this is you're really in the insight of our
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: friendship at that point.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I felt that with Roy as well.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, his his story about his mother, how she
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: used to pack up food and and put it in
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: the backpack and go out and sell it like that.
• 13:11

  Speaker 1: you know, really on the show and sometimes it'll be
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: like someone And I'm actually really surprised that some of
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: our guests were stay so focused with that.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: You know, it's very funny. But well, hopefully also like
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: your flight.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Hopefully if if we get if we come back here

• 18:09
  Speaker 4: footsteps from will sound like a horse?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, four steps for for for a set of four legs,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you know running.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I got a last question for y'all. How do you
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: feel like your relationship has changed from like episode one
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: to now?
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: That's a great question.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I think it has deepened a lot of our roots.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: But I will say like our roots were very, very
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: deep and unspokenly we had a brotherhood for you longer
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: than this season. So I think if anything, it gives us,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: it gives us an accountability, an accountable schedule to make
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: sure that we don't stray from one another, like like
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: sometimes we've had to you know, you do a job
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and there from plays. You know, I do a season
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: for a whole season, and sometimes you could go a
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: couple of months with us checking in with one another.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I think it give us an excuse to really just
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: making sure that we're checking in with one another, and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: then we're president into those lives and and and I
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: love that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: That's that's my favorite.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think for me, you know, you and I
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: have always had this great instant relationship.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: There's always been a relatability.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: There's been a number of things, a number of reasons
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: why we've been friends for so long. I was in
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Chicago recently and I was talking to one of my
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: uncles and I asked him, you know, you know, we
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: had this conversation about both of our families came from
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: a background of agriculture, right, and I was asking my uncle,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: I said, well.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: What did you what did y'all grow in the.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Finca in the you know, however you translate that into
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: farm on the farm, and he was like, oh, we
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: used to grow you know, your mother and I and
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: our family grew tobacco.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: That was our main thing that we grew and to.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Bacco and coffee and vegetables, and we had a really
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: long conversation about what they grew on the finca.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: And I was surprised to learn that about you when.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: We in the first few episodes that your family came
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: from a very similar background where your family also had
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: a finca, your family also grew vegetables and tobacco and
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: the same And so after that episode, after even talking
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: to my uncle in Chicago, I was like, Oh, that's
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: why Wilma and I always got along so well right
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: from the beginning, because there was a familiarity there that
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I don't think that you and I even realized was there,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: but both of us having parents that grew up in
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: different countries, and there's certain nuances that come with that
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: that I don't usually get with other friends that their
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: parents were born in the States.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: No, there's definitely a level of awareness that is very rare. Right,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So as the configuration of our stories, I think that's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: one thing that I offer is it will never take
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: for granted, is the idea that we have to keep
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: that story of your past, of your parents, of your
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: grandparents alive, because it's what we pass down to our
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: children next, right, it is how they get their prototype,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: that's how they get their blueprint, you know, and those
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: stories have to live and in this moment in history
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: more than ever, we have to be outspoken about what's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: really special about our culture, you know, making sure that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: those that spirit or who we are as Latinos you know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: is a solution, is a secret sauce, you know, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: it's the other color that makes this beautiful country.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Right. So so I'm proud of that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I'm proud that, like you know that, you know that
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: this show has also allowed us to heal and being
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: community and making sure we're gonna straight away from what's
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: important and talking to people about the things that we
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: all should keep in mind. I know that there's been
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: subjects where we talked about raising awareness for or you know,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: for the lack of you know, medical forward thinkingness, for us,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: for for our you know, for our community, and really
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: kind of raising awareness for the different things that our
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: culture unfortunately, you know, looks as a secondary you know, mandate.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: And I think it's it's a really important time for
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: us to remind ourselves that we got to take care
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of one another. We have to change biologically somehow what
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you know, what we be taught when it comes to prevention,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: when it comes to taking care of our elders, our parents,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and ourselves.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: And I'm proud of that.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of this podcast have
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: been a healing journey, I think for both of us.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: And a lot of stuff is happening in this podcast.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of a lot of life altering
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: moments have happened to both of us during this podcast
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: and in between recordings, uh, and there is a kind
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: of and in between recordings, you know, we've been able
• 22:55
