Bossman got you scoping out talent at the high school? Gotta get musicians from somewhere. 🥴

Setenta y Nueve - De 7 a 9

The CharroBoys gigged separately this week. They get into it with talk of their hood in Fort Worth, the return of clients you have broken up with, your boss forgetting you took the day off, unhappy old ladies, and kids beefin at competitions. We’re just trynna see people throw hands for the Division I titles. 

Setenta y Ocho - Nunca Es Suficiente Para Beans

The CharroBoys are fast approaching to 80 episodes, cuhh. They get into life as a bad student, putting on bad concerts because you didn’t practice, playing with a tuba, and smelly venues. Did this place smell like turd or was it the carne? Either way, I’m bout to hurl. 

Setenta y Siete - Jarabe Pa Tu Tío

The CharroBoys ate some pizza and got to speakin’. The get into multiple topics like the life of a college student and teacher, becoming the older guys in the mariachi, asking your mom to let you go gig, using the mariachi as a karaoke machine, and seeing another mariachi in public.

Setenta y Seis - Tú y Las Nubeans

The CharroBoys keep grindin, you already know. We get into a weekend with fancy venues, playing in your own hood, stealing, your wife coming to your planta, playing on a hill, among other things. We played for a party where people didn’t get fed til AFTER we finished. They were starving, dawg. 

Setenta y Cinco - Un Millón de Puras Chenchas

The CharroBoys are in their 75th episode! Lots of work to get to this point All for you, beans. We get into morning cartoons, missing a weekend to be a teacher, how the years pass by, being late to go to Starbucks, and what happens when you finally stop gigging. Why do people stop gigging? Money? Time? Less back pain? We discuss.

Setenta y Cuatro - El Otro Que Más Te Amó

The CharroBoys get into it this week, y’all. We get into the big mariachi heads coming together for a tour, getting music from CD’s, savages at Balcón Mariachero, paradoxes, going live on social media, and playing at a Zumba gym. What would you do if you didn’t have mariachi as a side hustle? We’d probably strip, but nobody wanna see that. 

Setenta y Dos - No Me Sabo Rajar

Don’t call it a comeback. The CharroBoys get back in the booth and are back with more new episodes of CharroBeans. We’re back and discussing the 3 month hiatus, what we’ve been up to, toxic partners, gigging with other groups, 2 ice ages in Texas, lack of consistent work, el covid, and coming back to the pod. We missed ya.
