Luis Garza has been a friend to Anjelica's family for years. On this episode he speaks to us about his candidacy and call to service as Justice of the Peace Precinct 6, Place 2 in Houston. 

It has been a minute since our last episode, but we are back today with a new podcast for you all. This time we are talking about our experience with COVID recently. Please keep in mind this is our personal account of this experience and in no way any medical advice. Hope your new year is off to a good start!

"You can't handle the truth!" Or can we? We talk about white lies, not so white lies, and everything in between when it comes to "being honest" in this conversation. Take a listen and let us know how you truly feel about the truth.

We continue our trek through the southwestern United States with a stop at the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico. There we found a cliff at the top of the mountains where we set up to have a conversation with you all, and to share some of the amazing views we were witnessing.

We filmed this episode live from Hurricane, Utah during our recent travels. And we talk candidly about some of the "profiling" we experienced while in Arizona as Latinos and Mexican-Americans.  

Things are starting to open up again. People are eager to get together, and we are seeing more and more people on the road too. As we get into the last quarter of 2021, we check in on how things are here and now in this part of the global pandemic. 

You all have heard us reference Anjelica's Latina Leadership Series before. Today, we wanted to spend a big part of the show discussing it even further and giving you the full story behind this exciting series.

Since Halloween is right around the corner, we get into some of the shows we grew up watching that used to scare us as kids. We also talk about a few current topics that we have been paying attention to recently.

If you enjoyed part 1 of our 2-part series, "21 Questions," this is the final installment, where we go through some of the best questions yet.

Comcast is offering 600 - $10,000.00 grants in six cities across the United States, including Houston. The grants available are intended for BIPOC small business owners and the application deadline is October 14th.  Juan speaks with Toni Beck, Vice President External Affairs, Comcast Houston; Paul Gor, Director of Community Development, Asian Chamber of Commerce in Houston; and Tammi Wallace, Co-Founder, President & CEO, Greater Houston LGBT Chamber of Commerce, on this episode.  Get full details and apply at: comcastrise.com. 

We take turns answering random questions on this first part of our two-part series that we are calling "21 Questions." Take a listen and share your answers with us too if you're so inspired.  

More and more this word is coming up in our conversation with others. Technically, I guess, you could say we are "Empty Nesters" ... and we are trying to figure out what that means now. Take a listen to our conversation about this now.

On this episode, we connect with a few folks from Houston's Lone Star College as they share about their Latino outreach initiative known as the Puente Program.

And we finally make it to Disneyland California on this final episode of our three part Lover's Road Trip series! We hope you have stuck with us through the adventure, and that you found it funny at least, or informative. 

On this leg of our trip we hit sunny San Diego, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, and all the beautiful cool weather in California. Join us as we discuss part two of our recent Texas to Cali road trip! 

On this episode we are on the road. Headed for San Diego and So Cal in California, but making few stops along the way in New Mexico and Texas. This is part one of our three part series sharing our experiences on the road from this Texas to Cali trip. 

We get into everything from Eros to Stergo, and the rest of the seven kinds of love according to the research Anjelica conducted on the topic. It leads to some really interesting conversation about how we connect to each other and those in our lives as well.

Now bare with us for a moment... we do share our take on reaching 40 and what it feels like to be entering a new stage in our lives on this episode. However, we do fully acknowledge that our age may be showing. Join us for this fun conversation and let us know how you're feeling about your own stage at this point in your life. 

On this episode we talk about Graduation 2021, and the excitement of what might be next for grads, for us, and for all of you on the same boat as us at this stage of our lives.

Mexican slang! Or Spanish words we say en español that can have a completely different meaning depending on how you use them. We talk about some of our favorite Mexi-Vocabulario words Juan has written about over the years.

We're joined by our friend Leticia Manzano of the Houston Area Women's Center, and artist and creator of the one-woman performance "Delejos," Julie Piñero for this episode of the podcast in which we discuss grief and hope. 

Last year in March we started this podcast. On this episode, for our one year anniversary, we take a look back at some of the most telling episodes about who we are and share what we remember about recording each episode.

We are finally ready to talk about it, y'all... the Texas freeze!! In this new podcast episode we go into detail about what it was like for us in Houston with no power and no water... but a lot of ICE!

It is almost second nature for us, and until recently we had forgotten that the actual term for what we were doing was code switching. We talk about this, and about getting vaccinated for COVID-19 on this episode.

What does this expression actually mean? Apparently it has shifted over the years, and in this episode we get into our own interpretations of this common phrase. We also talk about "selling out" and who gets to decide how that label is used. 

Or nightmares in some cases. Juan recounts a vivid dream he had recently that has stayed with him for the last few days, which leads us into a conversation about interpreting our dreams and nightmares. We also touch on our first impressions of the new social media audio app Clubhouse. But first we go into what happened at the Capitol on January 6.

For the commenter who sent us a message about how great we are about communicating with each other, this one is for you. We thought it would make sense to share how much of a work in progress communication has been and is in our marriage and relationship. 

Can you believe it? This is the last week of 2020! And yeah, while we don't know what will come next in 2021, on this episode we spend some time discussing how it feels to be at the end of what has been such an unpredictable year. We also talk a little bit about what it means to be a "hater."

I wanted to make my first holiday episode a little special so, I'm sharing an interview I did prior to the pandemic with Renee Taylor. She is best known for her role in the CBS sitcom "The Nanny," but in recent years has been busy with her one-woman show "My Life on a Diet." We talk about her career and the many crazy diets she's been on while navigating through Hollywood. Plus, her connection to the one and only Grace Kelly.

We break down our thoughts on the new Netflix series about the life and times of Selena, as well as the Black Eyed Peas latest collab with Shakira, which also happens to mention Selena. This leads us into a more in depth conversation about Mexican American identity vs. Latinx and Latino. 

Something came up while we were in Hot Springs last week. It made us take a step back to talk about our own identities as first generation Mexican-Americans. We would love to hear from you about your own self-identity stories. 

This Thanksgiving feels a lot different from other years, and it also reminds us that 2021 is literally right around the corner now. We talk a little bit about our expectations for the New Year, as well as what we are most thankful for in 2020. 

Anjelica is getting ready for her session at an upcoming conference in Houston, and she decided to share some of her business basics tips on this episode. Take a listen and let us know if you would add any more tips! 

We are live, from Arkansas, in this episode. And since we are on the road we decided to talk a little bit about our travels via car. Anjelica also shares some very important life lessons she has learned. 

Welcome to the Halloween episode of our podcast! This holiday has always been one that we enjoy a lot as a family. And even though the last few years have been a little different, this year we decided to dress up, and record an episode for you all. Happy Halloween!

What does it mean to be Latina and in charge? What are the challenges still impeding Latinas' path to leadership? We talk about this topic and more about Anjelica's IGTV series that directly addresses these topics in  a lot more detail. Watch it now and share with a friend!

We're talking about it on this episode. Juan shares why he is still a little resistant to the terminology, while Anjelica goes into detail about the origins and the increasing spotlight on terms like gaslighting and toxic masculinity. 

We realize that some of you may be new to who we are, and some may just not know us all that well. Consider this a reintroduction. This was a fun Q&A session between us! 

We go pretty deep in this episode to kick off Emotional Wellness Month on the first day of October. Listen and share with a friend or with anyone experiencing an emotional wellness issue.

Our guest this week is Rolando Rodriguez, Co-Founder of Trill Multicultural here in Houston. We talk about equity, marketing, and getting comfortable with using your voice as a New Majority business owner.

Loyalty, Sincerity, and Honesty. Three of the characteristics we discuss on this episode all about friendships. How to make them. How to keep them. And how to strive to be better friends.

In this episode Anjelica interviews an old classmate from the charter school they both graduated from. Tirzo Ponce opens about his life then and now, and the lessons he has learned along the way.

Is jealousy part of romance? Can being celado be romantic? We couldn't let this month end without talking a little bit about the subject of romance. And somehow that also led us to jealousy. Listen now and weigh in with your thoughts.

In this multigenerational conversation, Edgar and Anjelica breakdown a few of the key differences between Millennials and Gen Z. Plus Edgar talks about getting ready for college and growing up with us as parents.

Erika Cazares is Anjelica's sister. Moises Alanis is Juan's father. We do our best on this episode to honor their memory, and hopefully to share what our grieving process has been like. 

At the charter school for at-risk youth Anjelica graduated from, Jay Cherin was a teacher. Two decades later they connected for a little walk down memory lane, and some pretty inspiring analogies. This is that conversation in full. 

Things got a little intense in this conversation when we started talking about our pasts and our relationships with our parents. We focus on three things this episode: Fear, Embarrassment, and Shame.

He says he grew up with these superstitions. Some of them are kind of funny, others just a little weird. Tune in for a fun conversation on Juan's Mexican superstitions. 

Over the years in business we have learned a thing or two about networking. In this episode, Anjelica shares some of her best tips on making genuine connections with new people. 

According to us, we each have our versions of how we met. This started out as Juan's version of the story, but hey, I'm the one telling it, right? 

How we deal with it and how we come to terms with it. Failure is the topic of our conversation on this candid episode of our podcast. 

Here's an excerpt from the blog post I'm reading this time: "As human beings we have a tendency to look back at our pasts and contemplate what could have or should have been different. Maybe it would have changed the course of our life in one way or another. Perhaps if that one defining moment hadn’t taken place, or it would have happened when we were more prepared, we could have dealt with it better." 

The pandemic has affected all of us, including our teenagers. We discuss what students might expect this upcoming school year, as well as the latest about the situation in Houston. 

Another blog post read on this episode of Hey, But Did You Know? I'm reading from the blog post "Bartering with Gorditas." Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we talk about how we met and moving from the Bay to LA. Well, Fallon has always been in LA. LA County to be exact for the LA natives but she's had some Bay penis so that counts.

The president of Voto Latino, discusses voter suppression, the Wall, and immigration. At turns funny, then tragic, and angry. A fun and moving interview. To help support the organizations mentioned in this episode, visit:https://annunciationhouse.org/https://www.raicestexas.org/?rd=anp

We get a bit serious today as we discuss the latest news regarding Cristiano Ronaldo. As serious as these allegations are, this is still a comedy podcast and we find ways to bring some levity in the face of tragedy. The world can be awful, and that awfulness can affect the world of soccer. Segment 1: No way Juve Segment 2: MLS Playoffs are oh so close! Sponsored by Seatgeek.

Her show was unceremoniously canceled by the ABC Broadcasting Network and Cristela Alonzo was understandably upset. It didn’t help matters that she was forced to deal with trolls hurling insults at her on Twitter. In a long and emotional blog post, the comedian laid bare how she felt about the lack of support her self-titled sitcom … Continue reading Stay Strong Cristela Alonzo →

It was a dramatic scene. Marilyn Mosby stood at a podium festooned with microphones that also sported a large emblem emblazoned with the scales of justice and the words “Office of the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City”. She was there to announce charges of manslaughter and assault against 6 police officers accused of murdering 25 year old Freddie Gray. Ms. Mosby was … Continue reading Boxers, Politicians, and ‘Thugs’. Oh My! →

I never gave the devastation surrounding me as a kid a second thought. It seemed perfectly natural to have abandoned buildings and rubble strewn lots as playgrounds. The idea that I was living in a blighted and dangerous ghetto that could easily pass for any number of ruined European cities during World War II never once dawned … Continue reading Will ‘The Get Down’ on Netflix Be a Huge Letdown For Latinos? →

Mexico really does get blamed for everything. Ebola? It’s flooding into the U.S. from our southern border. Terrorism? Apparently ISIS, Al Qaeda and even the Houthi militants are streaming over from down Mexico way by the hundreds as I type this. Illegal drugs, guns, and undocumented aliens? Check, check and check. Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz? Yeah, … Continue reading Don’t Blame Mexico For Ted Cruz, Blame Canada →

‘The Real’ is a bland, vacuous syndicated talk show broadcast primarily on Fox affiliates and is hosted by five women of color. (Sad that a decade and a half into the 21st century this is still something so unique we see it as a triumph but we’ll take it). Finally a show that refuses to perpetuate negative stereotypes but instead … Continue reading Next On ‘The Real’: Brownface Minstrelsy →

Despite the long relationship the U.S. has enjoyed with the “Enchantress of the Caribbean”, Puerto Rico and its residents on the island and on the mainland remain a mystery to other Americans. As a public service, Robles & Rosado will help clear up any confusion for you and save you the time and exertion necessary to Google the … Continue reading Remember Folks, Puerto Rico Is America →

Longtime listeners know we catch a lot of heat for some of the things we say on the show and post on the blog. In an effort to be proactive, and in the interest of saving our time and yours, we offer this generic blanket statement to all Latin@s who feel an apology is more … Continue reading RR 24: Apologies Are Not Nearly Enough →

For this episode Mike and I revisit some of our favorite moments—and yours—from the first season of Robles & Rosado.  We hope you join us again in 2015 for more of our unique mix of humor and commentary. Wishing you all good health, happiness, and success!

Science has finally caught up to the fact that Robles and Rosado are almost perfect specimens of humanity. Don’t believe me? Just ask Lior Pachter, a UC Berkeley biologist. Mr. Pachter published a DNA study recently suggesting that “perfect humans” are most likely to be Puerto Rican. He also reveals that the “perfect human” may have been female … Continue reading RR 22: Cuba (Not Quite) Libre and Perfect Puerto Ricans →

After an almost 10 hour delay, prosecuting attorney Robert McCulloch from St. Louis, Missouri announced that the grand jury investigating the shooting death of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, decided not indict police officer Darren Wilson. The ruling set off a wave of protests and rioting in the city of Ferguson that has lasted several days. Mike and I discuss the … Continue reading RR 21: The Circus Comes to Ferguson, Missouri →

All this time we were aiming to be your garden variety troublemakers. During our interview with social entrepreneur and Latino community leader Elianne Ramos, Mike and I were confronted with the shocking revelation that we are both social media influencers. When a nationally recognized expert and one of the most influential Latinas in social media tells you you are … Continue reading RR 20: Social Media Powerhouse, Elianne Ramos →

This week we present a special edition of the Robles & Rosado experience. Our own Mike Robles interviews Tejano music superstar, the incomparable Stefani Montiel. Stefani Montiel recorded her full-length album debut at age nine and has gone on to earn six Grammy nominations over an illustrious career. Stefani’s latest album, Paraíso, continues her exploration into new musical territory while not … Continue reading RR Bonus: Tejano Music Superstar Stefani Montiel →

According to an article at BostInno.com I have a better chance at landing on the moon or starring in the role of Batman at your local multiplex than contracting the Ebola virus. There is a much greater chance that one of you reading this will (heaven forbid) suffer and die from influenza or heart disease than from … Continue reading RR 19: Ebola Makes Americans Panic and Blame Hispanics →

One of the best shows in television history ended one year ago this week when AMC aired the final episode of ‘Breaking Bad’, the critically acclaimed operatic crime drama set in  New Mexico. In honor of that anniversary actor, comic, and Albuquerque  native Steven Michael Quezada, who played DEA Agent Steven Gomez, joins us to … Continue reading RR 18: Steven Michael Quezada Never Broke Bad →

Rick Najera is not an activist. That’s not a shot at the actor-writer-director-producer and he’ll be the first to tell you. Rick is a man who is unafraid to speak his mind and is an artist who is pointing out the reality and vagaries of the Latino experience in America. Also a  playwright, a professional speaker and an … Continue reading RR 17: The Unforced Confessions of Rick Najera →

Rosie Perez is from old-school Brooklyn.  Not this new hipsterville nonsense they got going on there these days but the real-deal Brooklyn. She’s from the Brooklyn where you speak your mind and were always ready to defend your point of view. Ms. Perez will bring that old school Brooklyn sensibility to ABC Television’s long running talk … Continue reading RR 16: ‘The View’ Joins Team Rosie →

This week we present a special episode of our show and feature a very special guest. Mike and I had the very distinct honor and pleasure of a visit from comedian and actor Carlos Mencia. For the few of you reading this who don’t know who he is, Carlos Mencia is one of today’s most … Continue reading RR 15: Carlos Mencia Will Blow Your Mind →

We’d like to give Phil Griffin the benefit of the doubt and we desperately want to believe he wasn’t as insulting in person as he came across in pixels. In reports from the annual convention of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists about his apology for this year’s Cinco de Mayo on-air racist shenanigans, the president of MSNBC sounded smug and … Continue reading RR 14: MSNBC Keeps Getting It Wrong →

Let’s play a game of “Fantasy Or Reality”.  I’ll offer up a scenario and you, dear reader, will decide if it really happened or whether I’m just spinning a fanciful tale. Here we go. The United States once accepted thousands of unaccompanied minors from Latin America and provided shelter and care in over 100 cities … Continue reading RR 13: Immigrant Archives and Hateful Tweets →

It was always a source of pride for many of us growing up, especially in the rough and tumble immigrant-heavy Bronx neighborhoods where I spent my formative years. I’ll bet almost everyone reading this can recite the last few lines of Emma Lazarus’ poem “The New Colossus”. You know, the one about giving us your tired and poor? Your … Continue reading RR 12: Yearning To Be Free? Not So Fast… →

Puto. It’s an ugly word to some. Ugly enough for FIFA to consider penalizing the team representing  Mexico at the World Cup because their fans chant it during matches in Brazil. Redskins. It’s an ugly word to some. Ugly enough for the United States Patent and Trademark Office to rescind federal trademark protections for the Washington Redskins (American) football team. … Continue reading RR 11: Sports, Baking and Political Correctness Possibly Run Amok →

Robles and Rosado are running a fever… a FIFA World Cup fever! Okay, that might be a huge overstatement as both Mike and I don’t even know what countries have actually qualified for the tournament. We do know that millions of people across the globe are besides themselves with anticipation for the quadrennial football extravaganza … Continue reading RR 10: FIFA World Cup Fever, Tackling Race in Comedy, and the Stereotype Game →

That was the rallying cry of the current president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Hugo Balta, as he and representatives of his organization took to Twitter to insult and belittle Robles & Rosado. They don’t like that we’re  keeping up the pressure on them for their refusal to answer questions about what plans they … Continue reading RR 09: No Invite, No Chorizo, No Peace! →

I was going to link to a clip of MSNBC “Way Too Early” anchor Thomas Roberts and producer and correspondent Louis Burgdorf torpedoing their reputations as serious journalists with their insipid Cinco de Mayo antics but I refused to harsh my mellow so instead I’ll post their apology: I wonder how long that Burgdorf kid had to … Continue reading RR 08: Feeling Like a Piñata at a KKK Rally →

What do Antonio Banderas, Eva Mendes, Cameron Diaz, Enrique Iglesias, Roselyn Sanchez and John Leguizamo have in common? Well, we know they are all Hispanic but did you know all of their significant others are white?  It’s almost a cliche these days but it seems that as soon as a Latino becomes a success in Hollywood they … Continue reading RR 07: I’m Latino and Successful. So Where the White Women At? →

According to reports Latinos are faring better financially than Blacks in the United States but in the race for income equality both minority groups have a long way to go to close the gap against Whites. A Santa Ana, California school cop puts crying teen in a choke-hold, then yells at witnesses to stop speaking Spanish. … Continue reading RR 06: The Bromance Continues →

The root verb of “Chingon” is a vulgarity but Mexicans understand most variations of the word to mean “badass”.  Pizza Patrón, a Texas-based restaurant chain that sells pizzas marketed toward Mexicans, is crying foul over what they feel is censorship as radio networks in the Lone Star state refuse to air ads for their new … Continue reading RR 05: 2 Million Deportations? Blame Thalia… →

Did you catch the Cohetes game last night?  What about the Espuelas? The Toros? NBA’s Latin Night promotion is front and center on Mike’s mind. While the professional basketball league claims it is addressing a need and owning up to its responsibilities to the Latino community Mike believes it’s really just all about the Benjamins. … Continue reading RR 04: Hey NBA, Just Feed Latinos the Rock →

Have you ever noticed what happens when you toss a single live crab into a bucket that has no lid?  The crab will kick itself into survival mode and climb out.  Now, what happens when you put more than one crab into the same bucket?  If one of the crustaceans makes an escape attempt the … Continue reading RR 03: Crabs In A Bucket Con Salsa →

Oh, and you too Mario Lopez. Your great physiques and smoldering good looks have raised the bar impossibly high for regular Jose’s like me and Mike Robles — and we resent it. In this episode we touch on many subjects but our focus is on how celebrities like Jennifer Lopez continue to perpetuate the “White Savior” … Continue reading RR 02: Thanks For Nothing William Levy →

In this new web radio series Emmy winning comedian Mike Robles and radio host and journalist Pedro Rafael Rosado give you their humorous, unique, and occasionally controversial take on the Latino Experience.  The focus in this inaugural episode is on the growing clamor from social media savvy bloggers calling for equal Latino representation on U.S. … Continue reading RR 01: Doing It For Ourselves →
