We got together with the entire crew to talk about their entire journey being together for a whole year in the truck. Being a self-proclaimed year-one, I had the privilege to record a podcast during their event to which ended up being a LOOOONG episode so to treat y'all, a super cut was made with the guests who hopped on to chat and this episode dedicated to the entire crew themselves. We thank those who made it out to the event and celebrated with crew. So here's to Jenny and her dream of owning a coffee shop and many fruitful years to come!

The audio doesn't sound like trash this time around!!! I get to record an episode with he "OG Crew" after only doing two episode together. We got together to recording something at our apartment once again but with some coffee and cocktails: espressotinis, carajillos, old fashioned, and lattes! Unfortunately, we did run into some technical difficulties after trying out some new equipment. So this episode is short this time around, but still a great listen to have with your morning coffee! S1E13 —————————————————————
I recorded an episode with a good friend of mine, Mike Lara. Relived a few memories from school and got derailed by a random lady with a TJMax cart lol still a good episode nonetheless! Cant wait for y'all to listen to it! S1E12 —————————————————————
I finally got a chance to sit down with the amazing Jenny Cantu and talk about her growth with Gloria's Coffee Bar and hit a few nostalgic notes as we sip on a bit of cold brew and a london fog. Nothing like some cafesito and a few cocktails to start the day! S1E11 —————————————————————
I got with my boy, Leo, and shot the shit about Dungeons & Dragons, his D&D Miniatures eShop, and the video games we've been into recently. We talked for a fat minute to the point that our Podtrak4 recorder died on us! I know, big oof. The episode still came out great tho and salvaged what I could from the dying recorder. S1E10 —————————————————————
We get in touch with our spiritual side on this episode while having my friends from the That's Just My Opinion Podcast and special guest Liz, aka Aztec Queen!

If you're interested in getting your cards read from Aztec Queen herself, you can always catch her every other Thursday over at Los Olvidados. Just don't forget to bring your good vibes!

We will definitely get another chance to go up and talk to them in person, but until then, we hope you enjoy the episode! S1E7 —————————————————————
I have a nice chat with my good friend, Roger Ramirez, co-host of the Mic Drop and host the Lockdown Listens Podcast. We chat it up about the open mic he runs locally, the work behind the scenes, and the contribution it has made with the community. You can visit the open mic every other Thursday at Cultura Beer Garden. Roger also shares a very interesting story about whippets and is a friendly reminder to not do drugs, kids.

S1E5 —————————————————————
A small personal sit down with a nice cup of joe before the day starts. Let's get a little deep here and talk about what I learned about myself this quarter. Hopefully you can reflect on that as well and maybe learn a thing or two about yourself as well. S1E4 —————————————————————
Hot damn it's windy! But screw it, let's get wired on that Organic Man cold brew!

We get some coffee at one of our favorite spots in town. We debate which is better between hot and iced drinks, and we slowly derail into stories about driving and a somewhat heated conversation about atheism. Thanks to Billy for being cool about us recording at the shop. And we promise to have a better format to the show on the next episode - we're trying things out. S1E2 —————————————————————
An impromptu start to the show with some stories and rambling on a few topics. We use Nora's new manual espresso machine and have some lattes at our apartment. Also, excuse the echo in our place (we'll definitely choose a better spot next time). S1E1 —————————————————————
