Chicano Shuffle

This week we getting to some muddy waters and kind of find ourselves back… kind of. Besides that… who knows really. Thanks for listening.

Guess who’s back! We hear about the cosmetic surgery, jet lag, and the tacos from the motherland. Plenty of stories and chisme. Somehow we jump into a discussion about the gentleman sag that comes with age… interesting times. We also go over the controversy surrounding the book “American Dirt”. And of course we discuss, for a good bit of the episode, the tragic passing of the 9 souls that included the legendary Kobe Bryant… May they all rest in peace. Thanks for listening.

Just when the crew came back together… it get’s broken up again. This week on the shuffle… forget it, it’s over… nothing will be the same… the shuffle will never recover… unless it does… in possibly a week’s time… maybe there is hope… maybe. *Warning* There is quite a bit of discussion about pipe. We do converse about other things, serious and otherwise… but lots of pipe. Or maybe not enough. You’ll have to listen to find out. Thanks for listening.

The three of us are back. Missed a week but not a beat. As usual, we bring you discussions on random news and topics plus the occasional pendejadas (or depending how you see it, all pendejadas). This week we chat it up about the baseball cheating scandal, this year’s rock and roll hall of famous inductees, and getting back into video games. That’s all in the first half! We also have a discourse on a small change that could lead to a big change. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

You came for the new episode… he it is! We ramble on about this or that and the usual pendejadas with our sitting in guest Noelia. Is it anything interesting? Is it informative? Is it funny? You tell us. By the way, welcome to the new year… 2020! Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” – A.E. It’s the end of a decade and the the start of new year in a few hours. Have a chingon New Year! On this shuffle episode we do, of course, get into the New Year resolutions… or actually… goals. Or no goals. It’s that time, it’s kind of a must. Not to worry as we get into a lot more with our guest, and “landlord”, Mario Lopez. We touch on art, the homeless, and quite a few other chingaderas. Thanks for the chingon year, to many more… Guest: Mario Lopez Art Instagram Facebook

Christmas has come back around again and we do our typical thing in this episode. We ramble on about pendejadas and about more serious topics, then shuffle again. Solid episode… at least we hope. More importantly… thank you so much for all the time, thought, and energy you’ve put into listening to us. Esta chingon…and so are you! We wish you peace, joy, and all the best this wonderful holiday. Merry Christmas… Feliz Navidad raza!

Tuesday… shuffle time! This week we are joined by Stephen Martinez from the Mega Man Podcast. He tells us a little bit about his life’s journey and how that lead him into the world of podcasting. That steers us into a discussion of said world and we compare notes. Some quick celebrity chat and a discourse on awkward situations where you come off as the villain. Once we are warmed up, it’s shuffle time and we bounce around a bit. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… Guest: Stephen Martinez, The Mega Man Podcast Instagram Podcast Link

Going to owe you this one but we discuss a few things related to respect. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

A toaster is an electric small appliance designed to expose various types of sliced bread to radiant heat, browning the bread so it becomes toast. The first electric bread toaster was invented in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1893. Fast forward to the present, 2019, and the smart lap toaster. Who invented it and where? What the hell is it? And why is any of this relevant to our episode? Yes, that is definitely the question. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

The crew is back together this week… yes everyone is back! So, we discuss plenty but the one distinguishing feature today is that something this week is not the same as the last 115. What do we talk about… the usual chingaderas, that is to say, random chingaderas. Shuffle, shuffle, random… shuffle. To really know, you’ll have to listen to the episode. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… Links (Actually, a big shout out to the homie) Mario Lopez Art Instagram Facebook

This week we are coming at you from East Los… recorded at the Meet & Greet Fundraiser presented by URA Casting (aka From the Streets to the Set). We met a lot of cool raza and had chingon time, even if we were missing a little something. Events like this are great because, at least to us, we can see first hand how the raza is out there hustling and in this case, getting us into film/tv. We definitely ended up talking to more people off the mic than on but the people we do have on mic estan chingones. We talk to writer, David Mansanalez, and director, Alex Ferrufino, of the short film coming to HBO, “Slipping Into Darkness”. Then we chat with artist Luis Islas. Good Times. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… ***Disclaimer: This episode was recorded live at an event with live music and dj etc… at times it gets a bit noisy… because it was recorded live on site.

Someone is missing this week… if you’ve seen him out in the wild… please let him know not to eat the tamales without unwrapping them first. This week we discuss quite a few things… like growing up, credit, parenting, and veterans. Also, it’s a long one this week… the old doblado episodes are put to shame. Grab a strong coffee and let’s get to it. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Episode after Halloween… and it’s already November… esta cabron. We kick things off with a quick recap of our Halloween. Then things get a little judgmental… yup he’s back… someone is set on his bands. Somehow we end up talking about old school fashion including JNCO jeans. There is quite a bit of shuffling in the first quarter. The flow leads us to a latino drinking card game… which in some way leads to a long discourse on “reading the room” and whatever that entails. Esta cabron. Then back to the shuffling! We wrap it up with another oldie but goodie. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

It’s that time of the year again… Happy Jalame-el-weenie! On this special episode we read some fan submitted stories de miedo. Scary?… creepy?… You tell us. Good times ahead either way. Along the way, we have the usual shuffle pendejedas that are included to help you sleep after the miedo. We also discuss items left with bad energy and the classic “indian burial ground”. Things after miedo time do take a turn to a more serious topic regarding trans athletes. It’s a delicate one. Special thanks to all the raza that submitted your stories! Btw… if you make it to the end… you get an oldie but goodie. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

This week we take a couple listener calls! Good times. After that we go on to discuss the craziness going on in Mexico including the shooting and gueros taking over iowaska experiences. We have a pretty personal discourse on the verbal/physical parental abuse from our childhood and it’s impact. Yeah, gets a little serious. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

110 huh… chido. How are you? Cause it appears the shuffle is a little bit aggro this week… let’s discuss. You can say this episode is one of the more serious ones. Not all serious of course but we touch on a couple topics that are more… weighty… maybe. Such as addiction. Some pendejadas and some personal thoughts this week. Let’s see how this all goes. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

The surprises keep coming early into our third year! Halloween comes early this month. We have some back and forth about scary and creepy movies plus some haunted stories. It’s not all “Halloween”, we do discuss other things… like other movies that aren’t horror genre and some other randomness. It’s good times… should be good… yeah it should. Let’s shuffle? Yeah… things are a little bit shuffled… but yeah, chido. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

So no union break this year… welcome to the start of our year three. Let’s get shuffling! This week we have some surprise guests… and by surprise, we mean surprise to us. Awkward, maybe… entertaining, for sure! We welcome back Noelia, the instagram-less sister of Ramoncito, and local artist Michelle aka PinchiMichi. The discussion does it’s thing flowing along as we discuss art, crystals, being darks, and of course, Jose Jose. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… Links (Not always to be taken as endorsements) Michelle aka PinchiMichi Website Instagram Noelia Instagram – None!

No chinges… two years! We have learn quite a bit more than last year but not as much as one would hope. Still trying to do the best we can and we are grateful to all you out there listening to our pendejadas. Seriously, without the raza out there listening and supporting, not sure what the state of the podcast would be. Son chingonas y chingones… thanks you! This is our two year anniversary! And we are back at the Montebello Artfest to celebrate this milestone with the raza. As usual we got to meet some chingon fans and interviewed some chingon guests. Chido times are all around! We ran in old and new friends. Our guests: our gracious hosts, Randy & Stephanie from Keeping the Culture Alive… el compa Rolando from Pipiripau… chingon artist Mario Lopez (not from Bayside High)… and chingona Berenice Molina from Ura Casting. Thanks for listening and stay tuned (for year three)… ***Disclaimer: This episode was recorded live at an art festival with live music etc… at times it gets a bit noisy… because it was recorded live on site.

It’s Tuesday (non Lebron trademarked Taco Tuesday) and here we are again with a new episode. As usual we discuss a variety of topics and pendejadas… good times. The shuffle takes us on a coaster that starts with a recap of someone’s music gig, swings by relationships, re-threads the word “chicano”, and wraps up with something about pets. Yeah, it went something like that. Before we cut this one off and forget… thanks raza for all the support. As we are just about at the 2 year mark, we appreciate everyone listening out there. As is becoming a tradition, we’ll see you out at Artfest in Montebello to wrap up our year. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… ► Links ◄ • Montebello Artfest : Instagram • Facebook • Paragordo Activity Podcast : Website • Instagram

Isn’t it strange that most of us have one hand that knows how to do everything but we also have one hand that knows almost nothing and we constantly make an excuse for it… “I’m right handed”. This episode may or may not be that huevón hand… you let us know. Have a chingon day! Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Let’s see… we discuss quite a few things including the Chappelle controversy, some high school stories, and some toy controversy. Plus, as always, a sprinkling of pendejadas throughout. Need to know more… get listening. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

(This is technically an I owe you.) We discuss technicalities and fantasies. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

This week we do our usual shuffle at the usual shuffle time but we ask a question… at what point can you claim you are from a town/city? Simple or maybe not. We also commemorate two events from history celebrating their 50th. We kind of discuss the Woodstock annual and the Moon Landing. There a few other conversations littered around the episode as usual. There is some shuffling, nothing new, but there are some chingon topics discussed to. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

** Fair warning: This episode was recorded on site at the event and the audio can be a bit noisy from everything going on around us, including music. This week we are semi-live from the Redlands Car Club 2nd Annual Car Show and Meat Up. If you wondering what that all means… there was a car show and BBQ plus we were out there recording an episode and hanging out. Good times! Plenty of firme rides, chingon people, and some amazing tri-tip. We talk some of our usual pendejadas but most of the episode is the Big Paul Show. We interview and talk to genuinely nice guy and interesting cat… Big Paul. He tell us all about the lowrider culture and community in the Inland Empire (and beyond) and get into some interesting stories beyond cars. We had chingon time! Thanks to the raza that came by and thanks to the organizers for having us! Thanks for listening and stay tuned… ► Guest ◄ • Big Paul : Instagram • @bigpaul_65

Simon… 100! In a change of plans, we discuss the 100th Episode Pari since we didn’t end up recording the actually episode live. We decided to party instead. We give you, almost, a blow by blow recap. Spoiler alert… it was a good time! We also getting into some serious talk because it’s kind of impossible not to this week. Raza, thank you so much for all the support. Not sure we would have sat around to do a hundred without all the support, messages, and talks we’ve had. Thanks for listening so far, here is to another hundred… stay tuned…

100 minus 1 is 99. What can be said about 99… it’s the one before 100. We discuss typical random topics, as usual. Chingon! Thanks for listening and stay tuned… 100th Episode Pari • Click Here for more info SOLD OUT

Here is what we need to know about this episode… “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” (Plato). This is another music heavy episode including someone’s ponle playlist. We discuss quite a few things in relation to music and a few just random shuffle pendejadas. So basically, less arguing and more music. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… 100th Episode Pari • Click Here for more info • https://tickets.chicanoshuffle.com

This week the shuffle goes way back to a topic from an early episode, about Juan Gabriel, and we rehash that whole conversation one more time. Then shuffle, shuffle… pendejadas, pendejadas. We also take a couple calls from patrons and compas, which is still a work in progress. Then it’s rehash time again but for a much more recent topic, women’s futbol. We try to make some progress or clarify but not sure it’s any of that… it’s a tough one. We also announce a new giveaway… check Instagram for all the details. (https://instagram.com/chicanoshuffle) Thanks for listening and stay tuned… 100th Episode Pari • Click Here for more info • https://tickets.chicanoshuffle.com

This week we shuffle a little less than usual and have some long form discussions. Sure, pendejadas are spread around because… well… pendejadas. Less topics but a little more substance. It’s one of those episodes that is a bit more serious and gets a little heated. We kick it off with a recap of the earthquake then take a turn to futbol… aka soccer. Sunday was an eventful day for el futbol. That’s followed by this and that but somehow leads to a discourse about the homeless and migrants in detention. We also touch on the recent article of private facebook group(s) of Customs/Border/Ice officers. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… 100th Episode Pari • Click Here for more info • https://tickets.chicanoshuffle.com

So let’s see… this week we talk about… like pendejadas. Good stuff. Need a slight recap… okay… the shuffle gets into mosquitoes, lotto scratchers, someone’s collection of ranflas, someone’s pops getting into some trouble, and someone’s lost hope that a special someone is listening. Or stuff along those lines… plus the usual pendejadas littered throughout. Like we said, good stuff. Leave you with this: “Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.” – P Thanks for listening and stay tuned… 100th Episode Pari • Click Here for more info • https://tickets.chicanoshuffle.com

“They sicken of the calm who know the storm.” – D. Parker This week we discuss the “immigration crisis”, the desmadre being created by our government and president. No fact checking necessary. Then we take a shuffle turn to korean tacos or quesadillas or something, judgmental Ramon is back! That leads to a discourse on cultural influences on cuisine… judgement is made and words get loud. After that shaky topic, something drives us here at the shuffle to accidentally develop a new app for the raza. Patent Pending. Oh by the way, we also announce the mega super uber chingon 100th episode pari! Why stay home watching Netflix… ditch that quinceanera… no need to go to another wedding… instead come by August 3rd and celebrate with us! Link to more details and tickets below. Thanks for listening and join us August 3rd… 100th Episode Pari • Click Here for more info • https://tickets.chicanoshuffle.com

Shuffle Tuesday in full effect! This week in typical fashion, pendejadas are in abundance. We touch on Father’s day and something about mariscos, then we hear about someone’s unorthodox pick up lines which leads to a discussion on dating. That segues nicely into a conversation about prostitution… not the way it sounds. Shuffle over to a bit of paisa-facts to keep the show going which is followed up by a “Is it Douchy?” Be sure to stick around to the end, well almost the end, because the pendejadas go off the rails. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

So yeah… another one that is a little looong. Why? No reason, I guess. This one just keeps giving. This episode we test out having patrons call in and it is a semi-success. Watch out for more call in episodes. We also, shuffle around a bunch of topics like the square in the room, the new Mexican champ, Japanese appreciation of the culture, learning new things, and theory versus psychedelics to treat mental issues. Of course, with the classic pendejadas sprinkled everywhere. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

We’re back at East LA C.A.P.E. having a chingon time again. Again this year, it was inspiring to see so many people doing what they love to do and to be around a community with such a positive vibe. We got to sit down with a nice variety of people to have some chingon conversations and plenty of laughs. We talk to local listener that came by to hang out about, well, us… but it does get pretty deep. That’s followed by an interview with cosplayer Utahime… we discuss her story and all about finding your community. We also, get to hear some more about Ramon from a direct source, his sister… yes, chisme time. The shuffle continues with an interview with artist John Narcomey… we discuss his story and an interesting situation that just went down. Not going to lie, it’s a long episode. You might need a coffee and to get on the 405 freeway (local humor, sorry… whatever highway near you has the most traffic, might need to go there) to hear it all. Trust, we think it’s worth it. ***Side note: Episode was recorded live at our booth, and therefore has plenty of ambient noise… just as if you were there. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… ► Guests ◄ • Utahime Cosplay (@ 31:00) : Instagram ○ Facebook • John Narcomey (@1:43:45) : Instagram ○ Ebay • Draw Hard Studio: Instagram

In case you missed the reference, yeah we get a little bit biblical. It’s not as serious as it sounds… plenty of pendejadas are running wild. We also get into losing friends and some weird restroom discussion… again nothing to serious. Additionally, we get judgmental Ramon’s take on a music video which leads to a conversation about music. Plus, we have an “Is it douchy”. We’ll see how this episode works out. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

What do Chente and el Santo Niño de Atocha have in common? Yeah, it’s not that type of joke… they both come up in this episode of the shuffle. Plus, a story of “lean” and Home Depot, a discussion on the recent abortion laws, some air Jordan talk, and even a “Is it douchy?”! There is a healthy level of pendejadas sprinkled around but it peaks at the end. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

“Faire l’andouille” Let’s see… 88… what happens here… few things… simon. We shuffle around discussing things like some classic 911 calls, a few actors, some tv shows and movies. Not to mention, how we missed the viking invasion. Then people get into their individual shuffle spring break trips to Europe and Atlanta. We converse on the differences in culture and a story of being scammed. It’s all wrapped up in a nice clumsily manner because, well, maybe we forgot how. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

“Wealth is not about having a lot of money; it’s about having a lot of options.” – Chris Rock This week, there is a bit less shuffling and the discussion goes from serious to a bit more serious. We start off a with discourse about the raza and our mindset on finances and wealth… just as the title says… la neta. There are a couple other small topics sprinkled around but then things get back to seriousness. (Sidenote: this is one of those episodes where you can imagine the Joker saying the classic line “why so serious?”) Things do get a little bit more serious about a serious topic… suicide and depression. So, yeah… while we have a bit of the usual pendejadas, la neta… this one is a bit more serious. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

No definitions or pop quiz this Tuesday…. cause some of us are already on vacation mode. We discuss being with the right crowd or team that complements you, the classic WebMd search, and people’s sleeping rhythm. Then we workshop the possibility of adding a fourth voice to the podcast. Some shuffling, plus a little more shuffling… the conversation takes us back to the chicano spectrum and the “paisicano” in the room. We wrap it up with a little bit more shuffling. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

This weeks’s definition lesson: hash·tag /ˈhaSHtaɡ/ noun a word or phrase preceded by a hash sign (#), used on social media websites and applications, especially Twitter, to identify messages on a specific topic. [Used by the social media generation] pound sign /ˈpound ˌsīn/ noun the sign #, representing a pound as a unit of weight or mass, or as represented on a telephone keypad or computer keyboard. [Used by most of the shuffle] oc·to·thorp /ˈäktəˌTHôrp/ noun the technical term for the pound sign (#). [Used by no one but the vatos that invented it] Why the definition lesson? Why not. Does it relate to the episode? I guess, kind of. What the…, where is the episode description? Okay… we discuss someone being annoyed by something that may be ridiculous, the use of English words by mexicans (not chicanos). We try to shuffle but it mostly revolves around that. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Hola. Title says most of it. We shuffle… we laugh… we get serious… we shuffle… including a very quick Coachella update, a weekend update, some life wisdom, a bit of music and something about hobbies. Plus the now infamous “segment”(?), Judgmental Ramon. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Tuesday… Tuesday… Tuesday… Monday’s ugly sister. Just when you made it through Monday, Tuesday shows it’s ugly head. It can’t even be Wednesday. Nothing ruins your hopes for Friday like realizing its only Tuesday. At least there is Taco Tuesday. Do we discuss karate? Wait, an ivory tower? Something about softball clotheslines? Maybe work safety? Even Moto Moto? Typical shuffle I guess. Tuesday, right! Hmmm… sooo, if you are reading this on Wednesday, yeah sorry… happy hump day? Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Looks like this little show is continuing on… now that April Fools’ has come and gone. We might be on raza time… but little late is better than never right. This week we shuffle along as usual with a sprinkling of pendejadas. Small topics, Big topics… non-sense and serious… facts and fiction… good times. Also, this maybe not be top 10 but it’s solid. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

We shuffle through the usual including a recap of Saint Patrick’s Day, a couple trips to San Diego, and the a.m.f. drink. Plus there are definitely some other topics with defensive moments… defense al 100. Sas! Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

While this is the before… we are now living in the after… in the cruda. This week we talk about our St Patrick Day plans, someone wanting a kilt, tios that gave you cash, some animal talk, that big admissions scandal, and the usual pendejadas. We’re off to sleep this one off. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

Handballed, hard shell tacos, and daylight saving time… we open up the episode with a nice shuffle. This week the shuffle is strong… we cover quite a few topics and we go a little long. Variety is the spice of life? We also touch on Lyft getting pricey, quality jobs, and an Australian Filipino… it’s that kind of episode. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle. Not to worry, there are discussions on some serious topics such as the new Micheal Jackson documentary, gueros defending minorities, taxing the ultra wealthy, and the cheese challenge. Pendejadas are everywhere. Nothing new. Thanks for listening and stay tuned…

It’s Tuesday and here we are. Welcome back… grab a coffee and chair. The ball gets rolling talking about energy drinks and those sexual power drinks… yeah… that leads to a discussion on your sexual peak. Might sound more interesting in words. We talk about the Urb-e for may be the last time. That is followed up, somehow, by a discourse on mental health and F’ing up at work. Naturally that leads to some personal stories… good times. We then touch a little bit on brown and/or black face, serious time. Right around here we have a submitted “Is it douchy”. Chido! Keep them coming. We wrap things up talking about “The Big One” and emergency preparedness plus a survival dilemma. Thanks for listening and stay tuned… ► Links, Media, & Resources ◄ • Our limited edition St. Patrick’s day T-Shirt: San Patricios T-Shirt San Patricios Dama Tee

We kick off a little heavy… then off to the usual pendejadas. Quick rundown… the shuffle touches on the some Netflix shows (nothing new here), the Oscars, and an update from DonChano.com. We get into a debate on another getting pulled over story and somehow that leads to discourse on “bikini bars”… yeah something like that. Then things get a little personal and a bit more serious. We also have a conversation about the drug war and addiction as a disease.
