Gutting pregnant women for babies with Tanya Ortiz!
Alternative title: Gutting pregnant women for babies with Tanya Ortiz! (The titles that good). Today we get a Zesty blast from the past with Tanya. They both talk about killer aspiring baby-mommas and relive some traumatic, annoying, funny, and awkward moments from their childhoods, BUT now that they're adults now, they gotta face the music, dance to their own Zesty beat, and swallow that jagged little pill that comes with the game of LIFE. Hope you brought your safety goggles and earmuff harnesses cause that Zesty juice is gonna squirt in your eyes and ears and STING till there's tears cause you're in the splash zone of all this Zestiness baby.

Activating our VAGUS nerves for Coachella (with Summertime Jazz)
[Insert brainrot one-liner here] Cause this week we have our fourth and highly anticipated Zestie, Jazz, join the pod for an outdoor and breezy talk about her most memorable nights out, her pets, passions, poetry, and COACHELLA! Jazz and Cris calm their VAGUS nerves by the coast as they kiki about homophobic club admissions and their Zestful travels, so if you like getting mad dogged by the beach, then you're gonna love these sandy cheeks.
Listen in for Cris' BUSTED audio cause he's a tiny dancer (for money), not a sound person. Jazz shares a sweet, yet sensual poem as they migrate away from the beach to the location where Cats the Musical was filmed! That's right, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a Zesty couple of cats for a shameless plug. Ahhh, all this typing makes me want a Krispy Kreme. Question is... was it crispy? ...Right ...right

Touching Grass So I Don't Sh!t My Pants
Aight listen! This week Cris is gonna tell you why you need to stop crying, go outside, and touch some MF grass cause he's giving a master class on anxiety and what's causing us to lose our minds. His new obsession with minimalism is enough to exorcise the Zesty demons that linger within, a gaggle of geese jump him, and SpaceX releases a new snot rocket! Stay to the end and watch/listen for when a squirrel with huge nuts nearly attacks him!

I am your Papi! (With RamBam)
This week Cris's father, or "Papi", joins him in a quick convo about his upcoming short film, hates on artificial intelligence, and talks about a huge milestone in his life that makes him almost impenetrable to ICE agents. The real question is: Is he Zesty enough to stay in this country?
