Dos idiomas, cero filtros
Welcome to Talking Ish, the bilingual podcast where two friends who have been talking ish since 2010 battle over futbol, superheroes, and everything in between. Whether we’re clashing over Club America vs. Cruz Azul, Cowboys vs. Packers, or who had the better childhood - this is your front seat to the Spanglish chaos.
This week, Pepe introduces the newest four-legged member of the family before the guys somehow find their way to a viral confrontation in Santa Clarita, where a woman threatening a taco vendor with ICE learns an important lesson: everyone has a camera, and the internet has a very long memory.
The guys talk about public backlash, apologies that may come a little too late, and where accountability crosses the line. Whatever you think about Mom's actions, her child didn't make them—and going after the kid isn't accountability.
Then Raúl attempts to secure Talking Ish its first sponsorship by enthusiastically promoting Conscious Bar chocolate despite the minor technicality that they aren't paying us, didn't ask us to advertise for them, and may have absolutely no idea who we are.
Raúl also gives some love to the mask maker responsible for bringing the Talking Ish luchadores to life, while El Profe Bert misses another recording because apparently returning to school hasn't included a course on modern technology. After several unsuccessful attempts to connect his headphones to a stone tablet, Bert discovered his Nokia doesn't have internet.
Education is important, kids.
Dos idiomas. Cero filtros. Cero patrocinadores.
Seriously, Conscious Bar. Cero. We checked. 😂

The British, The Bullshit, y El Profe
Talking Ish celebrates Mexican Independence Day the only way Pepe knows how: by yelling “THE BRITISH ARE COMING!” Wrong Independence Day. Although after a quick detour through Hamilton, Pepe starts wondering if King George’s offer is still on the table.
Bert is missing this week because he’s gone back to school to better himself, so naturally Pepe and Raúl honor this achievement by talking shit about him while he can’t defend himself. Thus, a new era begins: El Profe Bert. 🎓
Then the guys dig into the viral video of a fence crew tearing down their work after allegedly not getting paid, separating what can actually be verified from what social media added to the story. It leads to an important Talking Ish PSA: being pissed off doesn’t mean you should create a legal problem for yourself just for five minutes of visceral satisfaction.
From there, they tackle the Macklemore/Ed Sheeran controversy and the artists walking away from Sheeran’s tour, briefly remember this is sometimes a soccer podcast with Cruz Azul vs. Inter Miami, talk midterms and politics, and eventually make their way to WWE Raw in Mexico City. Raúl actually watched Penta vs. Roman Reigns, Gable and Dragon Lee put on a clinic, and somehow the night ends with Raúl talking shit about the Santo wrestling dynasty.
History. Higher education. Legal advice nobody asked for. Politics. Palestine. Fútbol. Lucha libre.
Dos Idiomas. Cero Filtros. Absolutely no transitions. 🎙️🤣

The Access, The Algorithms, y El Pulgar
After Bert angered the robot overlords and mysteriously vanished from an entire recording, Talking Ish is back to try this thing again. Bert is off paying his respects—both to Skynet and, more importantly, to a friend he recently lost—while Pepe and Raúl attempt to reconstruct what the machines took from them.
Raúl returns with an update from work: after a little malicious compliance forced management to experience the consequences of its own decisions, the system access everyone supposedly didn't need suddenly became available. That opens up a bigger conversation about leadership, developing your staff instead of simply managing assignments, and a shoutout to one boss who's apparently doing it right.
Then professionalism promptly leaves the building.
Raúl goes full dad-joke mode before offering a potentially life-saving public service announcement: there are certain phrases a wife can say to her husband without incident that a husband should never, ever say back unless he's prepared for divorce court, a 911 call, or his own episode of Dateline.
The guys also revisit their Rosa de Guadalupe plans for Bert's technological suffering, reveal why he needed his wife just to access his own computer during The Lost Episode, and discover Bert's proposed solution for next time:
Remove the thumb.
Don't worry. Talking Ish immediately explores several less… felonious alternatives.
Bert will eventually hear this episode. He probably won't be happy.
But as the guys say every week:
Build a bridge and get over it.
