Sweet Jesus Radio

In this episode, we take it way back! Join me and my friends Tito, Marc X, Arkatak, Pooh Heff, and Groove as we answer the question: "What were some Hip-Hop related things to do in El Paso back in the '80s and '90s?" We swap stories about the legendary Breaking Boundaries battles, crossing over to Juarez to party at Old West, and copping Kung-Fu flicks (and more) from Brotha Lee's. We also reminisce about partying at the All Graders Club on Fort Bliss, dancing at Teen Expo, and the classic hangouts at Castle Park. Plus, no trip down memory lane would be complete without shouting out One World Style — where digging for vinyl was a rite of passage. Whether you lived it or just want to know what it was like, this episode is full of the real memories that made the El Paso Hip-Hop scene special. Tap in!

In this jam-packed episode, hosts Jesus and Mel dive into the ultimate trifecta of chaos: music, medical procedures, and merry festivities. First, they recount their night at The Drums concert, where the vibes were immaculate, the crowd was questionable, and Jesus maybe cried (but it was dark, so no one saw). Next, things get uncomfortably personal as Jesus gives a play-by-play of his colonoscopy experience—spoiler alert: it wasn't as glamorous as he thought it would be, but Mel has all the jokes to make up for it. Then, Mel spills the tea on organizing a wildly successful Friendsmas pajama party, complete with questionable dance performances and one rogue onesie that will haunt them forever. Finally, they tackle the hard-hitting questions from their Facebook friends, ranging from the absurd to the strangely insightful. Tune in for laughs, oversharing, and a reminder that life is best lived with good music, great friends, and slightly awkward holiday traditions.
