Speaker 2: 6:15

So Alrighty Well, with further to do.

Speaker 1: 6:23

Let's get into the main topic of this episode.

Speaker 2: 6:26

So, tyler, this is your transition into Cinco de.

Speaker 1: 6:31

Mayo, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. That's really funny, though I will say Do it one more time.

Speaker 2: 6:42

Cinco de Mayo hey, closer.

Speaker 1: 6:48

Closer, but still not great.

Speaker 2: 6:52

The Mexican restaurant right here by our area. They're advertising for Cinco de Mayo. They're going to have a live DJ and a mechanical bull.

Speaker 1: 7:03

Okay, so you're talking about the one over at kroger right, yeah, yeah, how there's no space in there. I'm assuming that they're gonna have to like even if they do it out on the parking lot, somehow they have to do something in the parking lot because there's no room in that restaurant at all for a mechanical bull there's no way I've always made the commitment of I am not going to any Mexican restaurant or anything on the day of, because you just it's not going to happen.

Speaker 2: 7:33

We try to do a fun thing where we make food at the house and we watch the same movie every year. Is that the movie we're talking about later on? Yeah, okay, we watch it every single single time. Is that the movie we're talking about later on? Yeah, okay, yeah, we watch it every single Cinco de Mayo. Great movie, by the way, it is a great movie you guys are going to. If you haven't watched it, you're going to love it. We'll talk about it later, because it's a few later, yep, anyways, hit me with some of that knowledge.

Speaker 1: 7:58

Juris. So let's talk about a little bit of the history of Cinco de Mayo. All right, so it is in fact not the Mexican Independence Day, really, that is correct. The Mexican Independence Day is September 16th. That is celebrating Father and forgive me, I'm not going to be able to pronounce these names, because I'm just awful at words. I'm struggling on reading this right now, but that is Father Miguel Hidalgo's Grito de Dolores, a Call to Rebellion Against Spanish Rule.

Speaker 2: 8:34

Oh, and that's in. You said September, that is September 16th.

Speaker 1: 8:38

Yes, sir, okay, gotcha, but Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Battle of Puebla, and that is fought on May 5th. Puebla, puebla, puebla. Thank you, you're welcome. That was fought on May 5th 1862, over 50 years after independence, which was 1810.

Speaker 2: 8:59

Okay, can we acknowledge the irony? The general led by General Ignacio, ignacio, ignacio, that's a name from the movie later.

Speaker 1: 9:10

Yes, I know, I know which. By the way, I'll talk about this more didn't realize that was his name. I have a lot of things about that movie I didn't realize. So the battle right, mm-hmm, it happened after. So the Puebla Is that right? Puebla, puebla, poo.

Speaker 2: 9:32

Poo.

Speaker 1: 9:32

Way, way, bla, puebla, puebla. I'm not going to do it right again.

Speaker 2: 9:37

Okay.

Speaker 1: 9:38

But so that happened. After the Mexican-American War and Civil War, mexico was bankrupt. Okay, that's right. At the time, the president of Mexico suspended payment on foreign debts for two years, and France, under Napoleon III, saw this as an opportunity to expand influence and install a monarchy in the Americasicas which would threaten us sovereignty. During the civil war, france sent troops to collect debt. Spain and britain withdrew peacefully, but france invaded with intent to conquer yep. So it was about land grabbing from the French.

Speaker 2: 10:31

Yeah, this little thing I'm reading from Wikipedia says that after this battle, a larger French force ultimately defeated the Mexican army at the second battle of Puebla and then occupied Mexico City Interesting.

Speaker 1: 10:43

On May 5th 1862, like you said, general Ignacio Ignacio Led about 4,000 Mexican troops to defend the city of Puebla. Puebla, the French army was better equipped but had twice as many troops and hadn't lost a battle in decades. No, despite the odds, mexican forces won decisively Nice. This wasn't the end of the French efforts, though. Napoleon eventually installed Maximilian I as emperor of Mexico, but the victory over Puebla became a symbol of resistance, unity and national pride. Whoa became a symbol of resistance, unity and national pride.

Speaker 2: 11:27

Whoa, I did not realize that the French won a battle, apparently they were very good because they never lost before. Yeah, they hadn't lost in a long time, you know, minus all that losing they did before America was founded, mm-hmm.

Speaker 1: 11:48

Against the English, Ignacio became a national hero. He famously wrote the national arms have been covered with glory.

Speaker 2: 11:59

Ignacio, where are your robes?

Speaker 1: 12:04

Spoilers to later on in the episode. No, you're good. You're good, Though short-lived. The morale boost galvanized the Mexican people. Are you ready for this? I?

Speaker 2: 12:14

just saw that it's also called El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla, which translates to what? De Puebla? Which translates to what? The day of the battle of Puebla, nice, I believe, is how he would translate that. I am not actually a Spanish speaking person. I can say a couple things.

Speaker 1: 12:39

You are better than me.

Speaker 2: 12:42

Yeah, you can speak Japanese, better than me, though, hi.

Speaker 1: 12:45

Yeah, you can speak Japanese better than me, though, aye, aye. So in 1867, mexican Republicans, with US support, after the Civil War, overthrew Maximilian and reclaimed their sovereignty.

Speaker 2: 13:00

Heck yeah, wait a minute. This has happened before. Mm-hmm, so that is Cinco de Mayo? Heck yeah, wait a minute, this has happened before.

Speaker 1: 13:07

So that is Cinco de Mayo, right? That is really what it's about is, you know, the victory over the French, who ended up coming back and winning, and then we kicked them out. But it's about you know, that david and goliath story right, the little army defeating the large army, protecting their land over invasion, which is a really nice connection there you know. Yeah, yeah and uh, wow. My question is is how did it end up being a party holiday?

Speaker 2: 13:44

so I think that so like it's celebrated, because the battle at puebla, the victory at puebla was, like, looked at as a sign of resistance. So, even though the french won the next battle and established, you know, a governance and stuff in Mexico, the Mexicans still resisted and they're like we're going to get our country back until ultimately they were able to get it back and then to celebrate that victory over the powerhouse of France, you know they establish, let's commemorate every year that one battle that we did really good at.

Speaker 1: 14:29

Yeah, what I've got here says that it's been virtually forgotten in most of Mexico except for Palabra. Yeah, like the holiday itself, just like, of course, it's like we have a major thing that happens in our city. It's going to be major news for a little while everywhere, but the that it happens we'll never forget. Yep, you know what I mean. I asked somebody about the flood that happened in the city, that near that, you know, in georgia and atlanta, like what was it? Maybe 10 years ago, everything was terribly flooded, destroyed streets. Nobody except for us remembers that. You know so because we went. Except for us remembers that. You know so because we went through it. Everybody going through it, you know and then imagine this to make that correlation too is everybody else in the whole entire else. We suffered and everybody else is having parties in all the other states about our flood. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 15:23

Yeah, and, to be honest, there was at one point in my life where I just knew we you know, singa de mayo's a mexican themed holiday. I honestly, for a while thought that it was. I confused it with dia de los muertos, which is the day of the is the Day of the Dead, the Day of the Dead, mm-hmm. And so I was like, oh yeah, we'll go and we'll celebrate with Mexican-themed decorations and food, but we're not going to go all the way because we don't want to celebrate the Day of the Dead, right. And then I was like, wait a minute. And then I can't remember who told me. It was probably my wife, because she's super smart, but it was probably like hey, john, you know that's in October, right, I was like what? The Day of the Dead? I was like, oh.

Speaker 1: 16:10

No, it's May 5th.

Speaker 2: 16:13

It's in the name wife yeah, we celebrate it at the beginning of May. And yeah, nope, totally different, totally different. And so I was like, so what is it? And then someone said it's the Mexican independence. I was like, oh okay. And then here we are today. It's not the Mexican independence, it is the celebration of rebelling against the French empire.

Speaker 1: 16:39

That's right. So the holiday became a way to promote heritage, combat racism and affirm cultural pride, especially in the face of assimilation pressures. Yeah, it was popularized further in the 1980s and 1990s by beer and food companies, hence the modern, party-centric version.

Speaker 2: 17:02

Yeah, dude, what the.

Speaker 1: 17:05

Right. Here's the problem, though right At the end of the day, there are so many holidays that have been commercialized, and that is why a lot of holidays Christmas, easter, st Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo are all holidays that have really been, you know, transformed into something different than what actually is supposed to represent. Yeah, for the gain of money.

Speaker 2: 17:34

I think St Patrick's Day you know, bringing it up is the most outlandish and far-fetched one, because it's all about, you know, today, st Patrick's Day celebration, it's all about, oh, wear green and drink and that's what we're going to do. And it's like, wait a minute, it's St Patrick's Day. It's about a Christian bishop, you know, like, why would you be getting drunk on a day that's celebrating a Christian Right? You?

Speaker 1: 18:05

know, it's just they're out there like oh, that saint really served.

Speaker 2: 18:08

Yeah, so, but yeah, it's the same thing with. Here it's like celebrating independence and liberation from France and it's just like we're remembering how we overcame this. But in America it's like, oh yeah, give us some margaritas.

Speaker 1: 18:29

And then, like five years ago, everybody was like give me Corona, yeah. And then after something, and then they're like we don't want Corona anymore.

Speaker 2: 18:39

Maybe Dos Equis, I don't know. I don't know. You got to be careful about talking about. What's the other one, what's the really big Mexican beer? Now it's called Heineken. No.

Speaker 1: 18:54

Guys, that's German.

Speaker 2: 18:55

Heineken, you silly goose Trying to sneak in here. Heineken, I'm going to be so mad that I can't remember what it is.

Speaker 1: 19:07

Modelo. There we go. I've never heard of that.

Speaker 2: 19:09

You've never heard of Modelo, nope, oh yeah, it's pretty popular, I guess, among certain groups, among you, among me I don't drink Modelo, just serve on this.

Speaker 1: 19:25

We talked about it earlier, but it does. If you want to make a connection to the Bible, right, david and Goliath? Yeah, israel in general. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 19:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's kind of a story throughout the ages, right?

Speaker 1: 19:42

Right, it's always the underdog story.

Speaker 2: 19:48

Mm-hmm, you know, yeah, of a story throughout the ages, right, right, it's always the underdog story, you know, yeah, and it kind of makes me wonder, like here we are today, what's gonna like, because eventually I mean the french empire, the second french empire, is not around anymore. You know, france as a country itself is like very tiny compared to what they were before right. They're not an empire anymore and really all that they have going for them is tourism now.

Speaker 1: 20:13

Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2: 20:15

They are not really known around the world for anything else besides.

Speaker 1: 20:19

Go look at my tower. We have a fancy tower, yeah.

Speaker 2: 20:22

I have a fancy tower and I'll argue with you about how our baguettes are better than anyone else's, and I wear stupid berets. No, I don't know. I mean, that's what I'm saying. Do you want me to bring you back a stupid beret? Yeah, bring me back a stupid beret, okay, and I'll shave my beard and cut my mustache to a pencil mustache and I want you to go and I'll wear turtlenecks everywhere I go. No, yeah, but you know. And so now we look at it today, we're like what are the powerhouse countries today? You know, it's America, it's China, it's Russia. Like in 100 years, where are we going to be?

Speaker 2: 21:06

You know, are we going to even be the head runner in the world, you know? So it's like looking back in history at things like this, where it's like, hey, even though you're the top dog doesn't mean you're always going to be and it doesn't mean that you're going to. You know, be undisputed by everybody, by anybody. And I think that that's good, because it reminds us like, hey, there's no kingdom on earth that endures except the kingdom of God. Correct, because here we are, 2,000 years removed from Christ, and the kingdom of God is still growing. You know, it's not declining.

Speaker 1: 21:48

I mean God has literally stood true and strong since the beginning of time.

Speaker 2: 21:56

Yes, yeah. And he makes it clear like there is no power above me or equal to me. All things are under me and I am extending grace to my creation in order for them to receive forgiveness for their sins, to become an heir of my kingdom that I've established. That's such a cool promise from God. It's like, hey, you're going to inherit creation from me, I'm going to give it to you, but first you have to actually identify with me, Like you've got to be a part of me. You can't be a part of your own little kingdom or a part of one of the kingdoms of the world. Like you've got to side with me, and that's the only way you'll receive this forgiveness. You've got to actually acknowledge that I'm God.

Speaker 1: 22:44

Right, you know, only way you'll receive this forgiveness is you've got to actually acknowledge that I'm god right now, and that's a, that's a challenge to our listeners. Right, like you know what? What are you going to stand with, right? You know, I'm sure a lot, a lot of people were standing with france, right, oh, we're you know, we're sure for for sure, gonna win, and they didn't. You know, are you gonna? Are you gonna stand with a side that we know for a fact is going to lose? We've been told, you know, evil is going to lose. Are you going to stand with the side that is going to win? You know, we know we're going to win. The facts are there, you know, it's just. Really. Do you want to be part of those numbers when we win?

Speaker 2: 23:21

Yeah, and you know, I'm thinking about the verse in Ephesians where Paul talks about our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers, the authorities, the principalities and the spirits of the air. And just thinking about that, a lot of people want to interpret that as like, oh, we're not supposed to fight anybody, it's just prayer, we're just supposed to pray, and it's like no, it's just prayer, we're just supposed to pray, and it's like no, it's, it's standing for truth, um, standing in opposition against prince, worldly principles right, because there's people who can, who will stand and represent the devil yeah, and the

Speaker 2: 24:00

idea that that person can be earthly, and we're're not supposed to practice violence against the people. We're supposed to stand in truth and stand in opposition against those principalities that those people may be indoctrinated with. But if we speak truth in the authority of Jesus Christ, it will overcome all things, and we do it in the hope that even people that align with it will repent and will come into the light of Jesus Christ. So I think that it's important, you know, because you could take either side of the whole war that happened between the French and Mexicans, war that happened between the French and the Mexicans. You could think that you're the underdog and you're going to have your battle where you beat God and you're going to be on top of the world. Or you could be on the side, the French side, and saying like we're, we're so strong, we're so powerful, how could God even compete with this?

Speaker 2: 24:59

You know, and the reality is, is that both sides, regardless of outcomes, are both brought low before God. You know, all things are brought low before God, exactly, all things come into alignment with the kingdom. So, yeah, cool stuff, that's right, great, yeah, yeah. So what are you going to do on Singin' Tomorrow? Or what are you doing today?

Speaker 1: 25:25

I should say Spoiler alert we're pre-recording this episode. This is not a live one, sorry, guys, Probably just hang out because to prep for this episode, I watched your traditional movie. All right, so I hadn't watched it in years, yeah, but it's still a great one.

Speaker 2: 25:47

Do you know what you can watch, since you watched that one already? Muppets, treasure Island. No, no, no, it's themed. You can watch Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

Speaker 1: 25:56

Oh, that's true, that's got. Or Zorro, zorro, same guy right.

Speaker 2: 26:00

Yeah, antonio Banderas. Yeah, that's it. Ironically, though, I think he's from Spain. Yeah, once upon a time in mexico, starring the spaniard, starring a spaniard. Uh, he's in expendables 3. You can watch expendables 3, yeah, or the 13th warrior has nothing to do with this.

Speaker 1: 26:24

We're gonna watch all the studio ghibli films.

Speaker 2: 26:27

Have you watched the 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas? Mm-mm, okay, it's so funny. So Antonio Banderas, he's known as, like the Latin king, right Mm-hmm, but in this movie he plays an Arab Okay, vikings and goes to Norseland and fights against this mysterious cannibalistic bear tribe Okay, that pretends to have supernatural abilities, like undie, like they're undead, like they can't be killed, kind of deal. It's a good movie, but it is like when you think about it and like everything else you've seen antonio bandera's in, you're like this is kind of weird like antonio in a fantasy medieval film.

Speaker 2: 27:24

As an arab, it's kind of throwing me off right, right right right, and he's like a foot taller or a foot shorter than everyone else.

Speaker 1: 27:37

They're all casted perfectly as norsemen well, I want to get into that, because it's also the exact same way with our main movie topic as well.

Speaker 2: 27:48

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 27:48

Because? So you want to give us in a very themed, what movie are we talking about?

Speaker 2: 27:57

Okay. So, tyler, I guess this is your transition.

Speaker 1: 28:00

We're going to call this a semi-transition, because it's still on topic, but also off topic. I don't know. It's hard to explain, it's still.

Speaker 2: 28:08

It's on par with what we're talking about, but it's a little different from talking the history of.

Speaker 1: 28:14

Honestly funny enough, this movie has nothing to do with Cinco de Mayo.

Speaker 2: 28:17

No, it does not, but we're going to talk about.

Speaker 1: 28:19

Except for your Cinco de Mayo tradition.

Speaker 2: 28:21

Yeah, Okay, so me and my family watch this every Cinco de Mayo and we eat Mexican food tacos or chimichangas or whatever. We spend a couple hours prepping it, which is ironic because the day before is May the 4th, and so we do the exact same thing, but for Star Wars. We watch a Star Wars movie and we make Star Wars-themed food. Normally, we just do a Death Star pizza every year. We cop out. That's the simple thing.

Speaker 1: 28:51

What one pepperoni on it.

Speaker 2: 28:52

Yeah, one pepperoni. No, we slice the pepperonis in half to make like lines across it, gotcha. And then we do a couple pepperonis to make like, yeah, like a circle for the plate. Yeah, laser, or whatever, anyways, cicadamayo, yeah, mexican food. And then we pop in the movie Nachos.

Speaker 1: 29:16

You cut that by like half of what he does in that movie. Who, who? I am the luchador Nacho Libre.

Speaker 2: 29:25

Yeah, I watched it last night. I'm going to fight the strongest men in the maybe the world.

Speaker 1: 29:34

You are not baptized. God bless you all.

Speaker 2: 29:39

Yeah, so we watched that movie and it's so funny. It's so, so funny. I love that. I love Nacho Libre. It's a good movie and it's based off of a true story.

Speaker 1: 29:47

It is, and that's one of my facts. I have here right, Lay it on me. It is inspired by Fray Tormenta, a real Catholic priest, who wore a luchador mask to support his orphanage for over 20 years. He was a luchador for 20 years, yeah, supporting them. I don't think he was like he had to hide it or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Like Nacho does or Ignacio Ign. He was like he had to hide it or whatever.

Speaker 2: 30:09

Yeah, yeah yeah, like Nacho does or Ignacio.

Speaker 1: 30:10

Ignacio, which I didn't realize that was his name. Throwback, yeah.

Speaker 2: 30:13

Throwback to the general who fought off the French in Puebla. Mm-hmm, his name was Ignacio Ignacio, and so is Jack Black in Nacho Libre. Nacho Libre, ignacio.

Speaker 1: 30:28

Yeah, so yeah, libre, nacho Libre. Yeah, so yeah, it's. I just I can't. This whole segment's probably gonna be us quoting this movie, just like sitting there the whole time and being like I gotta squeeze, I gotta squeeze.

Speaker 2: 30:44

Those eggs were a lie, Stephen.

Speaker 1: 30:47

A lie.

Speaker 2: 30:49

They didn't give me eagle powers. I felt, stephen, I lie. They didn't give me eagle powers. I fear no nutrients.

Speaker 1: 30:54

How'd you get up here so quickly? Secret tunnels.

Speaker 2: 30:59

Do you feel through that, chancho, chancho, help me up. I cannot lift you up, you're too fat.

Speaker 1: 31:11

Sometimes, when you are a man, you wear stretchy pants in your room.

Speaker 2: 31:18

It's for fun excuse me, sister, I was wondering if I could join you in your quarters later and we could eat some toast and talk about spiritual things in your quarters later and we could eat some toast and talk about spiritual things.

Speaker 1: 31:34

Big kiss, hug, hug, kiss kiss, big kiss Me to kiss Little hug Little kiss. Everybody is dancing at the party. Rams is number one. He is not dancing at the party.

Speaker 2: 31:59

Jack Black. I'm going to be honest I think that is my favorite Jack Black movie. Yeah, we are going to be releasing a review of the Minecraft movie that has Jack Black in it, but I don't think it's going to hold up against his performance in Nacho Libre.

Speaker 1: 32:16

No, so I think he is. In the movie they say that he's half European and half Spaniard. I believe they called him like it's the same thing.

Speaker 2: 32:29

A Spaniard is from Europe. Okay, he's half Mexican, half Spanish. No, he's European, half European, half Mexican.

Speaker 1: 32:38

And they call him a. Ashley looked it up when we were watching it. They referenced it one time, but it's essentially a. Maybe I'll have to censor this out. You tell me, but Gringo, no, no one's going to be offended by that. Okay, it's a more friendly version of Gringo, and I'm not sure what it is. They call them it one time, like they ask them a question like why did they call you this? And it starts with a G too, and I can't remember it. A griot.

Speaker 2: 33:12

A griot. It agree, oh agree, oh no, that can't be him. I mean, I mean, I think that's an article of clothing. Anyways, keep telling me about the?

Speaker 1: 33:15

yeah, no problem. So of course, we talked about jack black. It stars jack black, who was at the time, rising as a comedy icon thanks to movies like school of rock and tenacious d which I think. School of Rock is probably up there, probably my favorite. That's a really good movie. Okay, the movie was directed by. Do you know who? It was directed by Nacho.

Speaker 2: 33:39

Libre.

Speaker 1: 33:41

Yes.

Speaker 2: 33:41

I don't know.

Speaker 1: 33:43

It was directed by Jared Hess. Do you know what else Jared Hess directed?

Speaker 2: 33:48

The name sounds familiar, but I can't think of.

Speaker 1: 33:51

So, after watching this and then keeping this in mind, he directed Napoleon Dynamite oh, he's the same guy who's so he's.

Speaker 2: 34:00

That's why I know, because when I was looking up the Minecraft movie, he did Minecraft movie. Yeah, yeah, okay, all right.

Speaker 1: 34:07

So it's like it's the exact type of comedy. You'll mean the same type of humor Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite, that really like weird indie niche humor to it. You know what I mean. Just like Jack Black saying the wackiest things and it's really funny the whole time, but not like it's not like slapstick, it's just verbal slapstick. It's just verbal slapstick almost. You know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, just like visual humor too, though a little bit, where you just like why is everybody running everywhere in this movie? Like anytime any character takes off, just about they or go do something, they're all running for some reason. Yeah, yeah, for no reason at all.

Speaker 2: 34:53

But you know, ignacio right.

Speaker 1: 34:56

Incarnacion.

Speaker 2: 35:02

Incarnacion.

Speaker 1: 35:06

Incarnacion. I wrote a movie. I mean sorry, yeah, a movie. I wrote a song. Can I sing it for you right now? Huero, is it? Huero? Yeah, I think so. So we've been sitting here quoting this movie, right, but what is this movie? What is the plot of this movie?

Speaker 2: 35:27

It is about a Catholic monk. He is the cook. He is the cook at the orphanage that he works at and it's an all, it's an all boys orphanage, except for the one none, yes, yes, and they, uh, they always just, you know they're, they're kind of a poor mission, so they don't have a lot of money to spend on food, so the food's very bland and he cares about the orphans but he just he feels out of place, he feels like he's not doing enough or he's getting really crappy jobs Because he's got, like you know, really old chips in swap for these kids to eat Yep, and I want to feed them salads.

Speaker 2: 36:12

And he wants to have a little bit of glory. Yeah, I think that's kind of where his motivation is, because he's looked down upon by the other monks and pastors. So in all of that, he really likes the idea of wrestling. He's always been a fan of wrestling, specifically luchador. Yeah, luchador, wrestling. So he comes up with a plan to wrestle, get into luchador matches, and he creates his own costume with a mask.

Speaker 1: 36:47

I love how in the movie he steals all this stuff for his costume.

Speaker 2: 36:52

Yeah, he just grabs like, snatches stuff around the monastery to make it, uh, but yeah, and and in that you know, he starts gaining traction and making money and making nice meals for the the thing is, though, the big thing is that every time he fights, he loses, but he's still, because he participated in the fight, makes money yeah yeah, so that kind of wears down on him a little bit in the movie where he's like I want to win, yeah

Speaker 2: 37:19

yeah yeah, he doesn't want to do it for the money, he wants, he wants to win. He wants to win, right, yep. And then at the end of the movie he fights, stops doing it to win and does it for the orphans. That's right, and that's when he wins. Mm-hmm Against the best. He's the best. Ramses, ramses, ramses' forearms are the best. Ramses' shoulder muscles are the best.

Speaker 1: 37:46

What a weird scene. The whole movie has so many weird, just awkward scenes.

Speaker 2: 37:51

Yeah the wrestler, the bag, the main bag guy he's.

Speaker 1: 37:56

You know what's funny? I, when watching I realized ramsey doesn't say a single word. That entire movie really. Yeah, he has no lines in the movie.

Speaker 2: 38:04

That's funny, uh. But yeah, ramsey's the number one wrestler. He's like it's before his fight with Ignacio and he's got like he's getting oiled up in like a massage for you know, back and shoulder massage or whatever by his coach. One guy's massaging him up and one guy's just sitting there just saying different body parts, just hyping him up, just telling him how he's the best, but just in a monotone voice.

Speaker 1: 38:34

Ramsay's feet is the best.

Speaker 2: 38:35

Yeah, oh man dude, I love that movie. It's so funny.

Speaker 1: 38:41

How did you find me out here in the wilderness? I saw you from the village.

Speaker 2: 38:46

Hola, natural Hello.

Speaker 1: 38:57

So essentially, yeah, yeah, he's wrestling. It's funny because he he confesses to the nun that he went to a wrestling match and so he has to pray in front of everybody to, you know, to make up for his sins, because they think he went to a wrestling show to watch it. Yeah, but he was competing. He catches on fire, runs out and while it burns up, his robe burns up and he's wearing his luchador outfit underneath his robe like a superhero like a superhero and then they realize that he's uh, he's nacho.

Speaker 1: 39:28

But only the kids really realize it, but he confesses it to it anyways. Yeah, it's true, I am Nacho, and they're just like who? The luchador Nacho.

Speaker 2: 39:43

It's so funny the way he's like it is true, You've probably heard of me. I am the luchador Nacho.

Speaker 1: 39:52

Oh man, you've probably heard of me, I am the Lodru to Dawn, not sure, oh man. So he gets kicked out. But he promises him. He says I'm gonna go win this, I'm gonna go fight. And he's like I'm gonna win this fight and buy the children a bus and we're going to go and do activities and walk around the park and stuff, stuff like that.

Speaker 2: 40:09

I was thinking about this cause he doesn't get kicked out and walk around the park and stuff, stuff like that. I was thinking about this Because he doesn't get kicked out.

Speaker 1: 40:15

I wonder if. No, he does, though, so I paid attention to this this time he didn't pack up. When he came back, all his stuff was packed up for him. So because he goes, they figure out who he is. He goes to wrestle, loses the match and comes back and all his stuff is packed up. Yeah, yeah. And he leaves, goes to the wilderness, and he finds out later on that his buddy, stephen, runs over the competition, runs over the foot of the competition, because whoever won that fight was going to wrestle Ramsey's.

Speaker 2: 40:46

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 40:47

And so the guy who beat Nacho got ran over Russell Ramsey's, yeah. And so the guy who beat Nacho got ran over. And so now Nacho could fight Ramsey's, because he came in second place in that fight.

Speaker 2: 40:55

Yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, it is funny, it's such a funny.

Speaker 1: 40:59

It's just, it's you know, it's made by Nickelodeon, it's a kid's Nickelodeon movie, really. Yeah, you know what?

Speaker 2: 41:05

I've never caught, though it's because he gets kicked out. But then after he wins the fight he gets a bus and he comes back.

Speaker 1: 41:12

And he's not wearing robes. He's wearing Like a white, it's like a blue robe.

Speaker 2: 41:19

It's the same color because he bought some fancy clothes. It's a one-piece suit that has the robe upper.

Speaker 1: 41:29

I think it's almost like what he bought. He turned into a robe because he bought his fancy clothes, yeah, and they turned that into robe, so it's like did he come back recreational clothes.

Speaker 2: 41:39

That's what I'm saying they look expensive. Yeah, thanks, thank you I mean yes, uh, yeah, I don't think he was. I don't know if he was welcome back or not, but the question is, how did he get custody of all the kids? That's what's up about a field trip.

Speaker 1: 41:52

They never go into detail, like did he actually— the nun's with him, right, but maybe he just bought the bus and is taking these kids on a trip, but he doesn't oversee them. She does, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 42:04

It doesn't look like they break their vows together though, no, but they kind of hint at it too at the same time. It's just like spoken. Hey, you know, I would. I just wanted to let you know I would break my vows for you.

Speaker 1: 42:21

Yeah, yeah, oh man, good stuff, dude man, I mean, I was just. I was watching it and at first I was like I want to watch it for the podcast, right for the pod, and by the end of them like I'm just enjoying watching this movie, even if it wasn't for the podcast, I forgot how funny it is yeah dude, I know, I know a gypsy man who knows secret powers he knows how to get secret powers.

Speaker 2: 42:46

Oh man, you just go and you eat. Eat the yolk of the eagle egg. And that guy he's in the Gypsy man is in John Wick. He's John Wick 2. He's the Russian guy.

Speaker 1: 42:59

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 43:01

At the very beginning.

Speaker 1: 43:02

It was funny because Asher was like I don't want to watch this part. I'm like what's wrong with it? It was when he throws the corn on the cob through the guy's eye. Oh, I forgot that that was in that movie. I'm like goodness. Yeah, dude, it's very graphic for a kid's movie. Mm-hmm, it was just so random, because the rest of the movie isn't that bad.

Speaker 2: 43:28

Yeah, it really isn't. And it's not bloody or anything.

Speaker 1: 43:30

No, it really is, and it's not like bloody or anything. No, it's just like it's a quick cut and there's just a corn cob in a guy's eye. Yeah.

Speaker 2: 43:37

All right, I was trying to think if I'd seen him in anything else but Hector Jimenez. Hector Jimenez, I think, is what it is. He plays his wrestling partner. Now I'm blanking on his name, stephen. Stephen, thank you. Plays Stephen. Do you think he's in anything else?

Speaker 1: 43:58

Probably not.

Speaker 2: 43:59

The only other thing that I know him from is Epic Movie. He plays the parody version of Mr Tumnus.

Speaker 1: 44:08

Oh really.

Speaker 2: 44:09

Yeah, it says he's in Wild Hogs. That looks like that's pretty much it. That would be American.

Speaker 1: 44:18

I know the guy who plays Sorry, not American.

Speaker 2: 44:22

United States.

Speaker 1: 44:25

The guy who plays Ramsey. He died in 2010, I believe.

Speaker 2: 44:29

Really.

Speaker 1: 44:30

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 44:32

Was he a he was actual or was he an actual wrestler I?

Speaker 1: 44:36

think he was an actual wrestler. Okay, his name's like Silver, something, I think, something Silver.

Speaker 2: 44:42

Let me look at that Ramsey's Caesar Gonzalez Caesar, sorry Caesar, sorry Caesar, silver King.

Speaker 1: 44:54

There it is. I was right, silver something. There we go.

Speaker 2: 44:56

Caesar Cahueta Gonzalez Baron Was a Mexican luchador and mascarado. Mexican luchador and mascarado. He was known best as Silver King, but also had an extensive stint as the third wrestler to portray the Black Tiger character.

Speaker 1: 45:22

Whoa the Black Tiger character. I don't know who that is.

Speaker 2: 45:27

Sounds important, though I don't believe in God. I believe in science. I'm not listening to you. You only believe in science.

Speaker 1: 45:36

I love how he's just like and Nasio's train of thought there is that being baptized will instantly have him believe in God.

Speaker 2: 45:45

Why haven't I been baptized? I just never got around to it. Okay, okay.

Speaker 1: 45:53

Someone stole the chips, did you tell them they were the chips of the Lord?

Speaker 2: 45:59

I hate them. What did you say? I hate the orphans. Say it to my face. Say it to him again I hate all the orphans in the world.

Speaker 1: 46:09

Come on, it's funny because they get into that fight and they never reconcile the fight. It's just like they fight. He gets mad, I think. He then goes and prays that's when he catches on fire, leaves to the wilderness and then when he comes back, goes for the wrestle, goes for the wrestle, they wrestle together in that fight, yep, and then he loses, goes to the wilderness. And they just never reconciled the fact that he says I hate orphans. I think he says I thought you didn't like orphans at one point he's like not anymore, not anymore.

Speaker 1: 46:39

I liked him yeah, great movie. Great movie, great movie All right, so you want to transition into our last topic here.

Speaker 2: 46:52

Yeah, tyler, this is our final transition of the pod we are going to go into the corner.

Speaker 1: 47:03

Step inside if you dare. Shadows move, mysteries whisper and the unknown awaits. Welcome to the Corner. So, on this episode of the Corner, what do you want to talk about? I want to, too bad. We're talking about the chupacabra. Oh man, oh gosh.

Speaker 2: 47:38

I wanted to talk about shucks hello kitty I want to talk about the thunderbird oh, the thunderbird.

Speaker 1: 47:45

we've talked about the Thunderbird, yeah you're right. We have. That was episode insert episode number here Azteca do Deca. So do you know when the first sighting of the Chupacabra was?

Speaker 2: 48:02

In the United States or in general.

Speaker 1: 48:04

In general. What was the first sighting reported sighting of the chupacabra. This surprised me, by the way, 1995. You're looking at it. I literally just said that it was 1995. Yeah, yeah, a woman claimed to see the creature with gray-green leathery skin, large red eyes, fangs and a spiky back, walked upright and hopped like a kangaroo.

Speaker 2: 48:32

Okay. So in this article that I'm reading, though, they say allegedly that there were reports of El Chupacabra first popped up in the 1960s in Puerto Rico.

Speaker 1: 48:45

But I guess there was no—. It's funny because I have 1995 and you also have 1995.

Speaker 2: 48:49

Yeah, this says the first sighting. That's been dated. But in the 1960s allegedly people were seeing the chupacabra, specifically in Puerto Rico.

Speaker 1: 49:01

Hmm.

Speaker 2: 49:02

So I guess no one could verify, but apparently they could verify in 1995.

Speaker 1: 49:10

For sure when others are saying oh, I saw it in 1960. Yeah, but do you have proof? Nah, yeah, so you know? Do you know what chupacabra translates to no?

Speaker 2: 49:33

what chupacabra translates to no. Chupra means suck and cabra means goat is the goat sucker.

Speaker 1: 49:35

Oh, I knew that. I just heard that. I figured you did dang it said. Attack at night leaves small puncture, wounds and drains blood, but no organs, which makes it unusual compared to normal predators. There you go. What do you think it is Like? So I don't believe that it's real, right, okay, what do you think it would be if you know? If it wasn't real, what do you think these things, people are?

Speaker 2: 50:03

seeing would be. It's hard to say when it's something so specific like if the animals were mauled.

Speaker 2: 50:11

It could be a variety of predators, but the issue is is that they were like it's like the blood was sucked out of them, and these are big animals, so it's like for something to be able to do that. It would. I mean, it would have to be something big For something to suck all the blood out of a sheep to the point where the sheep dies. It would have to be something bigger than what we would have here as bloodsuckers Like it would be way bigger than mosquito Mosquitoes or ticks Like those are the only bloodsuckers that we it'd be way bigger than mosquito.

Speaker 2: 50:46

Mosquitoes or ticks Like those are the only bloodsuckers that we have, right, you know? I mean you could get into bats, but they don't really do that to Like we don't have any blood-sucking bats in the United.

Speaker 1: 50:59

States, because they don't really suck blood.

Speaker 2: 51:09

They like they cut and they kind of lick at the wound. They're not really sucking the blood out, they're just whatever is coming out. They are, yeah, and that's a specific kind of bat the vampire bat, right, vampire bat and it's not in to my knowledge. It's not in. I mean, the areas that people are seeing are claiming to see the chupacabra. So you know, it's if it, if you don't want to attribute it to the chupacabra, you got to have something else. You know what I mean?

Speaker 2: 51:31

It's kind of one of those things where it's like, yeah, the chupacabra may not be real, but we can't really explain the phenomenon and all we have are reporting reports from people saying that they saw this type of creature, you know. So it's one of those things where it's like the only evidence is this and the counter evidence is just an explanation to explain away the evidence. So that's the deal, because I mean it's the same like with other strange phenomena revolving around, like the Dogman Phenomena Around Bigfoot and skinwalkers and all these other weird things, that it's like that can't be real. But then it's like well, people, this is the evidence that people are presenting and the only counter to it is just ways to explain away the evidence being presented. There's no alternative. It's just that can't be.

Speaker 1: 52:34

So do you want to break the illusion? Sure, this is the scientific explanation. I'm ready. Most likely biologists believe that it was dogs, coyotes or raccoons with mange, which that's what the people were seeing, and then, coincidentally, livestock died unrelated to these animals they had with mange, and the deer died of natural causes but appeared drained due to the post-mortem processes. So essentially, they find them, and they're already kind of drained of some blood.

Speaker 2: 53:09

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1: 53:09

Just through the natural process of things? Yeah, because they said that upon closer inspection of the body, there was never atchian and puncture wounds on a lot of cases oh okay, so that's your breaking the illusion explanation. Yeah, that's your breaking the illusion explanation.

Speaker 2: 53:25

No. It's crazy how all these animals with mange are showing up around livestock that is dying.

Speaker 1: 53:35

Before this, you know, a lot of cryptids got popular. I wonder how many actual cases were reported of the chupacabra. I don't have those numbers, but it's like before you know, it got heavy and really big in lore, probably due to, like, television making the creature more popular, because I feel like this is one that I like besides bigfoot aliens you know the big ones this is probably one of the bigger yeah cryptids that a lot of people know about. Yeah, I'd say like number five type thing you know.

Speaker 2: 54:09

Yeah, and that's the thing is. I think that is because it's so recent, like there's not a big historical storyline for it. You know, like Bigfoot, there's documented stories for hundreds of years. You know, aliens it's the same deal, like people have been talking about these UFO crafts for hundreds of years. You know, aliens it's the same deal, like people have been talking about these ufo crafts for hundreds of years. The skinwalkers same deal. Dogman we talked about dog man one time like right, that's been around for ages. And it's the same with satyrs. You know, it's like all these different high.

Speaker 1: 54:44

Like human animal hybrid again, it's like it is these creatures that are all could be seen something, and somebody might be drunk, somebody might be high seeing these things, and they're seeing something that might be an injured animal, right, yeah, something you know. Oh, they're talking specifically for the. I'm talking about in general cryptids, oh it, just in general, like you know, these. You know, oh, that You're talking specifically for the Chupacabra I'm talking about in general cryptids. Oh, just in general. Like you know, these people you know are seeing things. We only hear.

Speaker 2: 55:16

The story is what I'm getting at, but we're not there's a really good chance we're not getting all the details surrounding this story. Well, I wouldn't say that for all cryptids, because there's too many stories for that to be the example, like where it's someone miss saw, because a lot of stories it's multiple people experience the same thing all at once.

Speaker 1: 55:35

Sure, but there's always a starting point. So there's always a point, and then there's always oh, I saw that too. You know what I mean I guess.

Speaker 2: 55:45

But I mean you're talking about the dogman that that goes back to, you know, like 500 ad or even further you know, say older, the more mystic they are.

Speaker 1: 55:58

The satyrs is bc.

Speaker 2: 56:02

You know the skinwalker deal like that's who knows how old, because it's there's no way to really date Native American people.

Speaker 1: 56:12

That translates to it's a lie.

Speaker 2: 56:15

Well, but no, I'm kidding. Okay, I think that I think that the scenario you're presenting, where it's like we're probably not getting all the details and there was probably some sort of weird stuff going on with the person, I think you could apply that to the chupacabra, because it's such a new phenomenon and there is a I mean, there is a like countable amount of of stories or sightings or whatever you know, whereas with everything else, Like you said, you have a lot of stories that are really old and more viable to being a real thing and other things besides just stories.

Speaker 2: 56:57

Right, you know, like there is. I mean, what do you do when you go into the woods and you see a human footprint that's, you know, 18 inches long or 20 inches long or whatever? Like what do you do with something like that? That's not a human foot, like there's no one whose foot is 18 inches long? Mine's close, what's yours?

Speaker 1: 57:18

14. That's your shoe size Mm-hmm. That's what I said.

Speaker 2: 57:24

And then other things like there's dna that is out there that we can't track to any known animal in the database, so stuff like that yeah so there's just.

Speaker 2: 57:36

It's just. There's a bunch of stuff out there for a bunch of different things, but the chupacabra, you know, the only thing that they've got is just sightings. There's nothing else to go with it. There's one lady who said that she shot one and she stuffed it, and that's what she has, and it really is. It just looks like a coyote with mange. That's all it looks like. So that's probably what it is is a coyote with mange.

Speaker 1: 58:02

Again, creatures sick in the wild. Seen around a dead animal doesn't mean it necessarily killed it. Maybe isn't coyotes not hunters, but scavengers. Coyotes, no they will kill animals.

Speaker 2: 58:13

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they will if they have the ability. They're opportunists, you're right. There we go, there you go. But yeah, who knows man? Because I think that was the evidence that was going, for it was this lady who killed this thing that they're calling the chupacabra Is it didn't have the exclusive DNA of a coyote, so it's not technically a coyote, but who's to say that? It's not a hybrid of some weird inbreeding deal?

Speaker 1: 58:49

Right, Like a coyote and a poodle or something you know.

Speaker 2: 58:54

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 58:55

Yeah, and so of course, a sick coyote and a poodle will probably give birth to a sick coyote. A sick coyote poodle chopper copper.

Speaker 2: 59:10

I love how the coyote has to be sick. If it would mate with a poodle?

Speaker 1: 59:12

You're sick. You have lowered your standards. Coyote Wiley, you're sick. You stopped chasing after the roadrunner and went after goats you goat sucker, oh man, but yeah, with the Chupacabra, I don't know.

Speaker 2: 59:32

I think I'm in that I would be more open to the idea of explaining away what it is, because it's just, the time has not been very long and there's not it seems like there's not a crazy amount of info and and evidence out there about it, whereas when we get into these other things like the mothman and bigfoot and uh, dogman and all that stuff, like when you start getting into it, dude, there's so much. It's ridiculous how, how much evidence and stories are out there that it's like, yeah, bigfoot may not be real, but what do you do with all this info? You know, like, where do you put it? You can't put it all on. Oh, it was just a big bear in the woods. Oh, they were just seeing things. Oh, they were on something and made it all up. Like you just can't put it on. Even if you put all those together as the suggestions, there's still too much to say that that's all it is. You know that's all it is Okay, but yeah, interesting stuff.

Speaker 1: 1:00:40

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 1:00:41

Great stuff.

Speaker 1: 1:00:42

So if you guys see a chupacabra, just know it's a coyote, so you can pet it, yeah, stuff. So if you guys see a chupacabra, just know it's a coyote, so you can pet it.

Speaker 1: 1:00:46

Yeah, go up and pet it, give it a stick of dynamite and say good luck, good luck and then run and then run, light it, make sure you light it and then, when you take off away from it, make sure you paint like something on a wall, like a tunnel. You run through it and then the coyote will then smash its face on the wall and this is a painting, yeah, yeah, so. So thank you everybody for joining us on this episode 34 of 34, 33, 34, 34 of the Saints that Serve podcast.

Speaker 2: 1:01:18

Where we commemorate Cinco de Mayo and Ignatius and Ignacio and Ignacio.

Speaker 1: 1:01:26

And the Chupacabra, and the Chupacabra, and the Chupacabra, and just Not to say that that has anything to do with Cinco de Mayo.

Speaker 2: 1:01:33

Just so we're clear.

Speaker 1: 1:01:34

No, it's just we wanted to Themed, themed it a little bit, yeah, yeah, yeah. So do you have any closing words for us besides that?

Speaker 2: 1:01:49

I would say that we like getting into the corner and talking about these things that are weird, right, high strangeness. There we go, but it does not have any effect on our eternal security in Christ, it's all just for fun. It is just for fun, and the reason I'm saying it is because I have met people that they've had a hard time. They get in the conspiracy stuff and then they have a hard time with life in general. Right, it starts getting depressing, and so it's just a reminder. Christ has already won the war. Right, we are in the labor pains of the final day. So find your confidence in Christ. Know that there is the light that is shining in the darkness, and one day there will be no more darkness at all.

Speaker 2: 1:02:38

So you know, perseverance is for the saints. Let's serve that surf, and the saints are called to surf. So do that like it's okay if you're entertained by right, like movies again.

Speaker 1: 1:02:49

We watch these movies, we play these video games and we talk about creatures because it's fun to talk about the unknown yeah yeah, the unknown. But at the end of the day, we don't let this get in the way, and you shouldn't let this get in the way and you shouldn't let this get in the way of your faith and your religion. Your holy commission, your holy commission. Yes, thank you.

Speaker 2: 1:03:11

Yeah, we are called to make disciples of all nations and baptizing them in the Holy Spirit and in truth. And so you know, if you're a believer, go and make much of Christ. If you're a believer, go and make much of Christ. And if you're not a believer, please hear the truth that God sent his only son, who was the only one capable of being the atoning sacrifice for the sin of man, and all of your sin was put on him on that cross and he died with it and he atoned for it, and he's calling you to receive that forgiveness. It's only found in him. You cannot earn your way out of the judgment of God. You can only be forgiven of it, and that forgiveness is only found in Jesus Christ. So believe that and become a child of God.

Speaker 1: 1:04:00
