If you think Luis Miguel is mid / overrated, then Jerry & Sammy agree with you. We’re only doing this episode because Fern is a life long, dedicated and passionate fan girl. Love or hate him, Luis Miguel is a staple in Mexican culture and has been on the grind since he was a little kid. Today, that’s called child exploitation - back then, it’s how …

Jerry said it best this episode, “Jenni Rivera lead an Army of H0’s in the best way possible.” Jokes aside, Jenni Rivera was really in a league of her own during her short reign.

This week we got Mr. Pelavacas himself, a man who needs no introduction - CHALINO SANCHEZ. Love him or hate him, Chalino had a huge impact on musica regional.

Quebradita was Different when it arrived in the early 1990s. It was faster, more modern, flashy, and in the case of Banda Machos: extremely h*rny. Makes sense why they are one of Jerry’s favorite bands. For Jerry & Fern, young teenagers in Los Angeles (Huntington Park) at the time, artists like Banda Machos made it cool to be paisa. Before this, be…

It's hard to overstate the popularity of BRONCO in Mexico / Latin America, especially during the late 80s and most of the 90s. Sh*t, Lupe Esparza is nearly 70 and still touring after 45+ years in the game. Bronco is an essential part of Mexican culture and that's why we're kicking off season 2 with these legendary G.O.A.T.S. Topics discussed WTF is…
