The CharroBoys survived Virgencita weekend, barely. Sammy is sick and recounts with Victor the 21 hours they spent playing over the span of four days. And in the middle of all that, Victor graduated from his university and had to clock right back in immediately after. We get into other things like waking up early for misas, Sammy playing for the Dallas Marathon, and playing a spontaneous 4-hour gig for the famous Incredible Man. So much happened in one weekend, we barely made it.

The CharroBoys get into the cold weather starting. Accommodation at gigs seems nonexistent sometimes. We also get into Victor finally graduating from massage school later this week, our boss's 40th birthday bash, a surprise early Virgen gig, and playing at a very expensive house. Have you ever played in 20 degree weather?

The CharroBoys took Thanksgiving week off. Sammy went to Mexico and had his little brother cover him. We also get into Sammy's birthday, having relative pitch, and not being able to enjoy anything when you are musically inclined. Mexico has the best snacks.

The CharroBoys talk memorable performances. Sammy talks about performing with Los Rieleros again, we recall performances that live rent free in our heads. We also get into mariachi degrees and teaching, Victor performing a Carnegie Hall, watching Tlen Huicani and watching other big mariachi groups.

The CharroBoys had a week of so we catch you up. We talk playing on Halloween, playing with a pair of matching brothers, marrying a white girl as a Hispanic, and Dia De Los Muertos becoming much bigger in the US. Freestyle episode ready for ya.

The CharroBoys had to be the boss for the day. Our boss couldn't go to the planta, so we had to be the caiman and sound guys this week. We also had to be the jefe and lead the group of ringers. After hearing that we had a reputation of being marros, today's topic is what's the craziest thing you've heard about yourself in the mariachi world? You know, since mariachis never gossip. Right?

The CharroBoys freestyle this episode. We get into the non-existent fall weather, priests wildin' out during the misas, playing at a rained-out wedding, having to spend all day together, and playing for a quinceañera while it's being shut down. Come listen, or else.

The CharroBoys had a late recording sesh. We tackle the weekend's surprise workload, but also delve into mariachi instruments. We recall why we decided to play the instrument we currently play. Also, your responses like how it became a way to score chicks, there was no other option, or the other instruments were simply too difficult. Where would we be if we chose differently? We discuss.
