Did you grow up in the barrio?

From EP’s Segundo Barrio to H-Town’s Northside, Eduardo and Spencer reflect on their childhoods and what it was like growing up in the barrio. Whether you’re from LA, Albuquerque, San Antonio, or any town in between, chances are there’s a barrio where you can get a flat tire fixed, grab a snow cone with crema on top, and buy fresh tortillas, all within a few blocks of home. Sometimes we leave the barr...

Do you remember how easy it was to make friends when you were a kid? Now think about this: How many real friends do you have today, friends you could call just to talk or grab a drink with on a random Wednesday night? When was the last time you made a new friend? For many men, especially after forty, friendship gets complicated. Fear, divorce, work, fatherhood—life narrows our circles. In this episode, Eduardo and Spencer open up a...
