The Mundial, The Madness, y La Laptop

The Mundial, The Madness, y La Maldición After a few weeks away thanks to health issues, scheduling conflicts, technical difficulties, and a curse we're still not convinced isn't real, Talking Ish is finally back. This week, the crew dives headfirst into World Cup fever. We talk Mexico's opening match, tournament expectations, predictions, dark horses, and what we're most excited to see as the biggest sporting event on the planet kicks off. Of course, it wouldn't be Talking Ish without a little chaos. Raúl somehow turned a "brand new" laptop into a history lesson and we may have finally discovered the secret to successful recordings... maybe. Dos idiomas. Cero filtros. Puro fútbol.

The Return, The Rumble, y La Maldicion

After a three-week delay thanks to health issues, tech problems, scheduling conflicts, and what we're now convinced is an actual curse, Talking Ish is finally back! This week, Bert returns from anniversary celebrations, Raúl somehow manages to record without his computer catching fire, and José survives another encounter with modern healthcare. We also discuss whether our recording problems mysteriously disappeared because we stopped mentioning He Who Shall Not Be Named and his demands for human monies. We dive into fútbol, World Cup talk, predictions for what's coming next, and spend way too much time appreciating the absolute masterpiece that was El Grande Americano vs. El Grande Americano. As always, there's laughter, questionable logic, sports arguments, random detours, and Bert making enough noise to earn an on-air callout. Three weeks late, but worth the wait. Dos idiomas. Cero filtros. Same chaos.

The Moms, The Madness, y The MLS

This week on Talking Ish, we show some love to the moms out there… even if the analytics say they probably aren’t listening 😅 For the fellas listening on time, this is your reminder: Mother’s Day is this Sunday. If you’re hearing this late… as Raúl so lovingly put it: “No tienes madre.” We also get into: ⚽ Chivas catching strays 💻 Raúl trying to run Riverside on what appears to be Windows 97 🍺 Bert potentially falling asleep after one beer 🇺🇸 MLS and the problems with the pay-to-play system 🇲🇽 Liga MX holding onto young talent instead of letting them develop abroad Somewhere between the chaos, the laughs, and the fútbol talk, we end up having one of our favorite conversations yet. As always… dos idiomas, cero filtros.

The Pain, The Pride, y The Process

This week on Talking Ish, we take a step into a more serious conversation. We’re joined by Marc, who shares his experience navigating health issues, self-advocacy, and what it’s like to push for answers when something doesn’t feel right. From there, the conversation expands into something deeper—Mexican culture, masculinity, and the pressure many men feel to stay silent, avoid being a burden, and carry everything on their own. We talk family, faith, and the reality that sometimes the hardest part isn’t the condition—it’s speaking up. Of course, it wouldn’t be Talking Ish without a little chaos, as Raúl battles his new “studio setup” and loses… repeatedly. A different kind of episode, but one we’re proud of.

The Love, The Loss, y The Laughs

This week on Talking Ish, we take a step back from the usual chaos for a more personal conversation. Raúl opens up about the loss of his dog of 11 years—a loyal companion, a source of unconditional love, and a true member of the family. He shares how she came into his life and the memories that will always stay with him. Bert joins us as we reflect on our own experiences with the pets we’ve loved and lost. From dogs to cats, this episode is about the bonds we build with our four-legged family members—and how those bonds never really leave us. Of course, it wouldn’t be Talking Ish without a little laughter. Toward the end, things take a turn as Raúl and Bert try to make sense of Pepe’s ongoing “curse”… and whether simply being around him might be enough to catch it. It’s an episode about love, loss, and the moments in between—the ones that make saying goodbye so hard, and the memories that make it all worth it
