The guys go deep on pegging (pun intended) and reveal who likes what kind of butt stuff. Plus, Game of Thrones reaches a less than satisfying conclusion.

The SPORTS MINUTE starts early with Jerry's thoughts on the NBA Draft! Meanwhile, Christian couldn’t get into the Canelo fight.

The James Charles scandal leads to talk of which celebrities love pegging. We revisit Jerry’s infatuation with the gays, Jesus offers sensual descriptions of anal play, and Christian talks about the man who got arrested for loving to eat ass.

Jesus remembers getting caught by his hook-up's gay paisa brother. Jerry broke the internet on Mother's Day, and he's got more thoughts to vent.

Then, fun with the Snapchat gender-swap filter, and not-so-fun with the grand finale of GOT.

The guys go live at NoHo Comedy Fest with demoted intern Raul Reyes, NorCal comic Carlos Rodriguez, Chilean superstar Fabrizio Copano, and more surprise guests.

Carlos helps the Wannabes sort out the NorCal vs. SoCal beef, then reveals a bizarrely intimate relationship with Jerry.

Jesus needs strip club recommendations in Phoenix. The guys are visited by their first black guest (and like the tenth black guy in New Mexico). And Christian recalls his bad decisions on the last live show.

Fabrizio runs through "a small book"'s worth of content, including snorting coke with rock stars, outing Antonio Banderas as NOT LATINO, and cutting the sexual tension with a knife when he reveals he looks exactly like Lady Gaga in drag.

All that, plus A LIVE PREGUNTAS SEGMENT!

May 11, 2019

Jesus pulls back the curtain on his freaky-deaky bedroom imagination as the Wannabes review Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones' latest shocking battle!

Christian and Jerry did NOT get everything they wanted out of Avengers. Jesus describes how Game of Thrones made sweet love to his body. The guys then go an hour-long sex tangent, but don't worry, they come back around to dragons and superheroes.

The Wannabes lament the tragedy of friend-zoning, the rules and mechanics of a first kiss, and how Christian played some lazy, lazy f*ckboy games when he was on the market.

Then, the old men in the audience can get excited for an EXTENDED. BARBER. TALK. SEGMENT!

Finally, Jerry just has to say it. Has to. HAS TO: We didn’t need to see the chick superheroes team up during the battle in Avengers. Plus, some other bullshit on Netflix.

The guys are HYPED on Avengers and Game of Thrones. Plus, the Lotto winner's got everybody twisted, and Jerry remembers saving the hood.

When a Wisconsin Mexican wins $768 million, the Wannabes have opinions. Plus, Christian tries to figure out who's the richest: Beyoncé, Kylie or Jessica Simpson?

Then, Jerry's kid got punked at school. Jerry went out for vengeance - but mostly had to contain his baby mama's fury.

New Wannabe Fernie helps Jerry remember the cholos with a heart of gold who talked him out of joining a gang, but not before he either prevented or started a Huntington Park gang war.

Finally, the guys talk COACHELLA! Cool, right?

Also, Jerry's HBO special has a release date: June 14!

Apr 24, 2019

The guys talk spoilers for Game of Thrones and Netflix's Our Planet, between discussion of good-for-nothing high schoolers, Dodger dogs, and Christian's funky arm.

Jerry did NOT have a good tax season. Jesus is disgusted by life in the Middle Ages. And Christian reveals he's double-jointed thanks to a childhood accident involving his crush.

Then, Jesus watched a YouTube video about grown men pretending to be babies, which brings the podcast BACK to the topic of Furries.

Finally, Fernie reveals some food secrets buried deep in the bowels of Dodger Stadium, and Jerry busts out some seasonal jokes that he SWEARS are hilarious. For real, dawg.

Apr 18, 2019

The Wannabes consider their dietary choices, their dream cars, sex in public, and how to rebuild the community with theoretical lottery money!

The guys are pumped for the return of Game of Thrones. Jerry's SPORTS MINUTE covers Magic's exit from the Lakers. Jesus remembers being a peeping tom as a kid and an adult.

Christian has all the hipster food facts. The guys want updates on the crime situation at his store. He sure as shit doesn't let doñas get away with snacking in his grocery aisles.

Christian's crime stats lead to a game of NAME THAT RACE. The guys reflect on childhood van life, then move on to their ultimate dream cars...Which ends in: "If you win $10 million in the lottery, how much goes back to charity or the community?"

The guys start on a serious note with the death of Nipsey Hussle, move on to sex scandals, and by the end Jerry's ready to try cocaine. Wholesome family fun!
 
Conspiracy theories swirl over Nipsey's death, but before anyone blames "big pharma," Jerry brings it back to his own life-changing experience at the LA morgue. The Wannabes weigh in on the ever-growing problem of needless deaths.
 
Then: Sex scandals! Knicks center Kristaps Porzingis is accused of rape, a Russian boxer is accused of sexual assault, and our very own Jesus Sepulveda was accused of some lowdown shit back in high school.
 
Finally, no one knows where to buy actual men's clothes anymore, which somehow turns into drug talk.

The guys welcome back friend-of-the-show Nestor who just got down at Mexican Mardi Gras, and Jesus reveals all his best fake voice scams.

The Wannabes remember all the baddest bitches from Mexican TV news (plus Vida Guerra). Jesus debuts the best Arnold voice you’ve ever heard, and the Wannabes swap stories about the best retail scams they’ve ever pulled…allegedly. Christian remembers some of his worst f*ck-ups from behind the cash register. And the Dodgers just kicked off their season, so all Jerry cares about is his Sports Minute.

Then, Jerry has breaking news about male birth control, and he recaps his red carpet experience at the PLOEY premiere.

The Wannabes help Jerry through an existential crisis after visiting the morgue. Plus, Fernie officially replaces Raul Reyes...And yeah, it's an upgrade.

The guys are shocked and aroused by Christian's threaded eyebrows. He decided to treat himself as a break from his baby duties.

Jerry's new animated movie PLOEY just dropped its first trailer! The Wannabes play it live on-air, and strategize for the premiere. Jesus tries out some voices to get in on that sweet sweet cartoon work.

Finally, a special guest appearance by Nicky Garcia raises a very important question: "How old were you when you realized what gay was?" We don't edit these things, so if you're outraged, y'know...Maybe smoke some weed or something?

It's an extra-illegal episode as the guys talk Leaving Neverland, R. Kelly, Christian foiling a robbery, and the guys getting away with thieving of their own!

The Wannabes welcome back the homeboy Fernie, who kills the whole mood when he brings up a childhood death that Jerry had blocked from his memory.

But Jerry DOES remember hooking up with a baddie at a car wash in his teenage years. Jesus hooked up at Lazer Tag, Fernie finger-banged in line at a record signing, and poor Christian was never that lucky.

Finally, Christian relives the epic story of fighting crime at his day job, where he foiled the biggest heist of his grocery career!

The Wannabes set up shop in the green room at the Ice House Comedy Club and all your favorite people drop in!

But first, the guys know the world has been waiting for their comprehensive thoughts on Jordyn Woods and "Leaving Neverland".

Then, Hooter and Martin Moreno of the Yo Yo Yo Podcast stop by to tear apart the institution of marriage.

The legend Frazer Smith stops by to talk about his days at LA institution KROQ, discovering the bands Motley Crue and Van Halen, and working on air with a young George Lopez.

Rookie comic Adrian Camerena stops by to get dragged for his leather pants (seriously, bro).

Finally, fan favorite Narcizo Gonzalez stops by to remember growing up gay!

Mar 4, 2019

Jerry and Jesus soldier on through a sickness so bad it killed Jerry's morning wood. But the Oscars aren't gonna talk about themselves, damn it.

The guys disagree on a man's ability to masturbate while sick, leading Christian into an internet deep dive and way too much boner talk.

None of the Wannabes are satisfied with this year's Oscar winners. They reminisce on badass movies of years past, like Babel, Y Tu Mamá Tambien, and some hotel movie Jerry loved but can't remember the name of.

Then: Jussie Smollet. Jesus feels his pain, and produces not one but TWO of his own stories about being caught in terrible lies!

Finally, how much do the guys love The Office? Muchísimo, guey.

Feb 25, 2019

The Wannabes welcome Sebastian Cetina, the hardest working man in comedy, to talk about when audiences revolt and the insanity of Abducted In Plain Sight!

Sebastian helped Jerry and Jesus rise up in comedy. They remember the early days at old Mexican hotspot 58 Bar and Grill and Iguana's.

Sebastian and Jesus trade stories of going to war with audiences over little people, some vicious crowd work, and fingerblasting. Christian remembers fleeing the stage in a drug-induced panic the first time Sebastian ever booked him on a show.

Then, the guys have a new Netflix obsession: ABDUCTED IN PLAIN SIGHT. It's about a devilish white man who mind-rapes and then literally rapes an entire family. Christian cannot deal with any of it, while Jesus ponders the limits of mutual masturbation among straight men. TONS OF SPOILERS. You were warned.

Finally, the Khloe-Kylie Feud over Tristan Thompson, America's most DGAF basketball player and Jerry's new role model.

The guys talk special bedroom treats for Valentine's Day. Hide your kids, hide your wife, because Jesus and Christian's moaning is NSFW up in here.

Jesus and Jerry have experienced the pleasure of a good ass-licking, and Christian needs details.

Raul Reyes makes a phone-in appearance to either confirm or deny that Jesus saved Jerry's ass after a show. Place your bets on what really went down...

Then, Jerry adds Denver to his Top Three Cities list, Christian knows a real gigolo, and Jesus thinks some ladies are getting WAY too hyped on female empowerment. He had an In-N-Out altercation to prove it.

Finally, the Wannabes talk getting older, and Jerry resolves to live his most righteous life.

Feb 11, 2019

Christian has a new baby daughter whose birth was foretold by hail and thunder, so, y’know, make peace with your God and prepare for the end, or something.

The guys demand details on the surprise, painful, induced labor. Jesus remembers torturing his newborn baby brother. Jerry struggles with his kids whooping each others’ asses lately.

Jerry gives updates on his DUI conviction and his birthday show. He tries to kick off Jerry's Sports Minute with Super Bowl talk, but nobody really cares. However, the guys got THOUGHTS on the halftime show.

Then, Snoop coaches youth sports almost as well as Jerry, and Jesus reveals his secret way-too-intense past as a MALE CHEERLEADER.

The milestone 100th episode! LIVE from Harvelle’s in Long Beach, the Wannabes open up more than ever before about baby mamas, jail time and freckled dick!

Christian goes way too far discussing his daughter, his past loves, and his wife’s pregnancy! Jerry drops bombshells as he reveals for the first time when, why and how he ended up in jail in 2018! Jesus feels like he’s at the holiday table with a couple drunk uncles.

Jerry opens up even more about all the things he learned about women this past year, and the Wannabes give a huge shout-out to their female listeners. At the same time, Jerry considers finding a third baby mama while Day-1-fan Juan Sevilla strongly recommends a vasectomy.

The Wannabes round out the show with pop-ins from the hilarious Hooter Moreno, the smartest guy they’ve ever met Juan Sanabria, and much love all around for our fans and supporters.

There’s big plans afoot for 2019…Now get ready for 100 more episodes!

Jan 29, 2019

Jerry remembers the most pathetic mugging ever. Jesus finds his dream manager. Christian reveals his outlaw past. But first: FYRE FESTIVAL!

The homie Fernie El Chaton is in the house – just in time to help make fun of Jerry for losing his voice. The Wannabes' newest Netflix obsession is the Fyre Festival doc. Then, Jerry's Sports Minute returns!

Jerry's HBO special is coming Father's Day weekend, and Jesus can't stand the title. Jesus tells a story about seeing a kid get beat by his parents, and it took him back to his childhood.

Finally, the guys share stories of the first time they got hustled and jacked. Jerry's story wins. It may go down as the most pathetic American Wannabes story of all time.

The guys drive back from Mexicali after their show. It's past midnight, Jerry's drunk, and they're about to encounter a Border Control checkpoint...

 

Jesus is behind the wheel and getting lost. Christian's baby is almost here, and Jerry's ready to be El Padrino. Jesus ain't down with uppity border agents demanding to see passports.

We know the sound quality's not great, but that's just how shit goes on the road, cabrones.

The guys record from the road, literally. They’re in the car, running late for a show. A look behind the comedy curtain! The after-show drops later this week.

Christian can't remember where they're going. For the record, it's a border town near Mexicali. Jesus remembers growing up American, but getting schooled like an immigrant. Jerry addresses an intriguing rumor from the BEST OF 2018 episode.

Jerry turns the podcast X-rated quickly, with the story of hitting up a transgender strip club as a young'n in Rosarito, and the Wannabes can't let it go. Jerry clarifies his opinion on Caitlyn Jenner.

The Wannabes are BACK! We’re popping off on R. Kelly, Louis CK, Trump’s wall, circumcision, and more! All the opinions you’d ever need to kick off 2019.

Jesus spent Christmas living out a 90s-kid Richie Rich fantasy. Christian is gearing up for his baby’s birth like a Marine going to war. And Jerry gives all the best advice for how to handle a new baby.

Then: “Surviving R. Kelly.” It’s time to cancel the Pied Piper. Christian has all the facts. Jesus understands how the power of fame can corrupt. And Jerry wants to talk about Kevin Spacey and Louis CK while we’re on the topic. Jesus has a bold prediction about CK’s comeback.

Finally: The Wall. Jerry cuts through all the bullshit and right to the core of what’s really going on there. Stick around for real talk.
