We get into some stuff that happened this week like staying at the planta til three in the morning, Don Miguel being on vacation, Sammy's body giving up on him, and taking care of your body as a mariachi.

He talks about his experience at the All Region clinic.

Ever had your boss be actually mad at you? We have 🥲
2024-03-271h 22CharroBeans: A Mariachi PodcastCiento Veintidós - Que Suerte La MíaThe CharroBoys discuss problems heading to a gig. After Sammy’s car left him stranded on the side of the road, we recall other situations where we struggled to get to our destination.

2024-02-211h 14CharroBeans: A Mariachi PodcastCiento Diecinueve - La CulebruhhThe CharroBoys were apart this week. Sammy headed off to a music teacher conference and Victor stayed behind and humbly worked. Nevertheless, after admitting Victor missed Sammy dearly, we get into a convo about things we don’t enjoy about mariachi. Everyone knows we can’t change everything but if you could, what would that be? Maybe the consistent playlists, the drunk clients that don’t care about you, maybe people being fake? Cosas así. Come hang.
2024-02-141h 16CharroBeans: A Mariachi PodcastCiento Dieciséis - Volver, Volver (A Grabar)The CharroBoys real fucked up. The episode was so good, they had to record it twice. Sammy messed up the first recording with some technical difficulties so we had to re-record. Thankfully, the second try was good. We get into whether we and our listeners have anything they would change about their high school/college/professional careers up to this point. We get into our own experiences like working in outside groups in high school, regretting not learning to sing, and getting into mariachi education today. So do us a favor, and listen to the episode since we had...2024-01-251h 17CharroBeans: A Mariachi PodcastCiento Catorce - Despedida con Marriachi ft. Mariachi AllendeThis one was special. We know it’s been a while since we’ve been gone and we’ll get more into it once we come back but we want y’all to enjoy a special episode. Sammy is getting married soon so we had a special “bachelor episode” with the boys from Mariachi Allende, all at once!

We also get into playing in a room with a corpse, watching boxing, puros corridos on the playlist, wearing new suits, and Sammy’s teacher duties. You ever show up to a ridiculous time for a gig and the client doesn’t pick up the phone? 🥴
2023-04-261h 30CharroBeans: A Mariachi PodcastCiento Cinco - Nadie Es Eterno En El GrupoThe CharroBoys had a late night recording. We get into some Rangers baseball talk, dying, misunderstandings with fellow group members, Victor’s glow up, judges opinions during a competition, Sammy forgetting things that happened, and Victor almost getting beat up by a girl’s husband. We can’t be held accountable for what we said when we were sleepy. 😔
2023-04-051h 22CharroBeans: A Mariachi PodcastOchenta y Nueve - Breaking BadThe CharroBoys are back once again after some vacation and time off. We get back into the swing of things discussing our time off, Sammy visiting Mexico, playing with people filling in, watching Vargas and going back to the Albuquerque Mariachi Conference. It was a fun one getting together again.
2022-07-211h 22CharroBeans: A Mariachi PodcastOchenta y Cuatro - Tiempo y DestiempoThe CharroBoys get serious for a sec. The community of Uvalde, TX lost 21 lives, something that continues to be a problem in our home state. 21 lives at an elementary school. Nothing has been done to change the laws to obtain these weapons that time and time again have given people the opportunity to murder innocent people. There is no one solution, but doing nothing changes nothing.
