We're going to have an undercover Mexican girl calling us anytime soon.
We're just going to wait for her to call us back.
Hopefully she calls back.
Yeah, hopefully she calls back.
She's going to call us all the way from Austin, Texas.
Have you gone to Sour by Sour?
Any of you guys?
Yeah.
Oh, so she's here.
This is the undercover Mexican girl?
Yes.
Hey, how you doing?
Thanks for calling.
I know her.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know Great Moose, too.
Yeah, we're sort of related.
We're sort of related, right?
Sort of related?
This is funny because I never, ever talk to you.
And you're calling into the radio show that I'm co-hosting.
That's great.
But you're going to be here in June, so that's awesome.
Yeah.
So what do you do?
What is this undercover Mexican girl all about?
Well, undercover Mexican girl started out as kind of a woman.
Yeah.
It's a long story, but, you know, I grew up in South El Monte.
El Monte.
That's the first time I hear that.
Usually people are like, I grew up in South El Monte.
I know.
She's South El Monte.
El Monte.
Yeah, because she's undercover Mexican girl.
Yeah.
Deep undercover, huh?
Deep undercover.
Right.
And, you know, I've read a lot of books, and I was kind of like a nerd, and I didn't really fit in.
You know, I always got this, like, you know, later on, you know, after going to elementary school in South El Monte.
You didn't fit in in your clothes or you didn't fit in society?
What?
You didn't fit in your clothes or in society?
Oh, in society.
Okay.
You know, because I read a lot of books or something.
No, nobody else read books.
No, and I listened to white music, whatever that was.
Like, what is that?
What is that white music?
What was it?
What was it?
They might be giants.
Yeah, they might be giants.
They might be giants.
Nerdy white.
Willie Nelson.
Very gringo.
Very gringo.
Yeah, gringo maximum.
Eminem.
Yeah, the cholos on our block were not listening to They Might Be Giants.
Yeah.
No, they were not.
So, you know, after getting so much, you know, I would get it on both ends.
I would get it from my my Mexican friend.
Oh, you're acting so white.
You're not Mexican enough.
And then my white friends would say, oh, you know, you don't act Mexican.
You know?
You're just acting.
You're just acting American, right?
Yeah, exactly.
Just being myself.
Part of, you know, what is American anyway?
What is American?
It's piñata hour.
It's a kind of cheese.
It's piñata hour.
You just called in into American.
Hot dog on a grill.
I'm bringing, I'm bringing now some American music here, right?
That's right.
Californian music.
Californian music.
You could tell it's California music because it's a because you want to smoke a joint when you're listening to it.
Yeah.
That's totally Californian.
I don't know what Texas music does.
I think it makes you want to drink like Yeah.
Clone star beer or something.
A cold frosted beer.
Cold frosted.
You like, hey, you like Corridos music?
Corridos?
Corridos?
I do.
Not Doritos.
Not Doritos.
Not Doritos.
So you like Corridos?
I do.
And what's funny is that, you know, especially growing up, you know, our neighbors would be glassy.
You know that Corridos is white music too?
It is, you know, because it's white people who introduced me to Corridos.
Ah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I mean, growing up, I hated, like, our neighbor's music.
Well, there wasn't Corridos.
It was the Norteño music.
Norteño.
Norteño.
Yeah.
That's the difference.
Do you eat burritos?
Here we have tacos.
I used to eat burritos when I lived in Southern California, but here in Austin, It's just tacos.
Yeah.
Yeah, there is.
When I went to Texas, there was no burritos.
There's no burritos, dude.
One of the best burritos I've ever had was there.
Brilliant.
Food truck.
Food truck, man.
Remember those burritos we ate?
They're tacos, man.
They're delicious.
No, they were just big tacos.
Yeah.
Big tacos.
They're wrapped.
Yeah.
Big wrapped tacos.
Oh, here's a taco.
Ugh.
Yeah.
I've heard some people say, like, oh, you know, like Mexican food is pretty much just different ways of displaying your meat.
Different ways of using the tortilla.
Yeah.
It's like, this is like on a sope.
That's deep.
Or it's on, what other kind of food is there?
Taquito.
Taquito.
Mexican.
Flautas.
That's a rolled taco.
It's a taquito.
I don't know.
I mean, it looks like a taquito.
Nachos.
Mexican pizza.
Huarache.
Huarache.
That's good.
Pambazo.
Pambazo.
I haven't had that in over 10 years.
Nachos are like the lazy.
Very bad for you.
Nachos is another way you just sprinkle the meat on top of the chips.
Booyah.
Put it in the microwave.
Put it in the microwave.
45 seconds.
Throw it on the grill.
Is there any others?
You have Migos in Southern California?
I can't remember.
Migos?
You have Amigos?
Amigos?
Amigos.
Starting now, no appetite is too big for the border.
Because now, Taco Bell is the one place you can get a lot more for a lot less.
Look at that guy.
Like our original taco.
Oh my God.
That commercial's from 1989.
That's rad.
It's good to know in 1989, we ate tacos.
Without paying the price, nobody beats the border.
Taco Bell is the world.
Oh my God.
Taco Bell is the world.
Taco Bell is the world.
Just don't come over the border.
You know what?
If you're watching this commercial, right, in New Mexico, and it says, make a run for the world.
Okay.
Am I going down to the border?
I mean, if you're from Mexico, Taco Bell told me to do it.
I didn't.
There you go.
It was that little chihuahua.
My American friend right there.
He looks from Argentina, though.
Yeah.
So anyway, you were saying, you know, why you were an undercover Mexican girl.
Where'd the name come from?
You were just, that didn't fit in with all the other kids.
Right.
I apparently wasn't Mexican enough.
So, I figured, well, I guess I'm undercover.
Yeah.
And I guess now where you live, too, there's just mostly white people around.
So, now you fit in?
Yeah.
Well, yes and no.
I mean, and it's interesting, Los Angeles, I felt actually, looking back, was a lot more diverse.
You know, I would see Mexicans, Latinos, Hispanics, whatever.
You know, there's so many labels these days.
And you'd see all types.
You know, you'd see musicians, doctors, lawyers, policemen, you know, everybody here.
It's a lot more, I don't know, maybe it's because the South, you know, like maybe Texas and some of these Southern states, you know, a lot more segregated.
You don't, you don't see that most of the Mexicans you see here, honestly, are a lot of the working class, you know, the janitors, basically.
Hmm.
So, I don't know.
And, it's different.
Yeah.
It's not as diverse.
So, you analyze all these things on the blog that you write?
I analyze some of those things.
Sometimes I just write about weird things I see.
Weird things.
Mostly I report.
I don't analyze too much.
I just observe and write about it.
That's 1989 television right there.
That's awesome.
Taco Bell.
Now they wrap the tacos in Doritos or Coritos.
But, I haven't had one of those.
I don't think I ever will.
I don't think I'm going to get drunk enough to eat one.
It's only good after 2 a.m.
Shaloo.
What?
What is that?
Well, Taco Bell invented the fourth meal.
What is that shit, huh?
They invented the fourth meal, Taco Bell.
They made that commercial.
Taco Bell or Del Taco.
Was it Del Taco?
One of those places they invented the fourth meal.
Hey, the first Taco Bell was, what was the first Taco Bell?
Chalupas.
Chalupas.
Oh, 6 in the morning, you're going to bed?
Just stuff your face real quick.
Eat a couple Chalupas.
Eat a couple Chalupas and put your right to bed.
It's the third one.
It's the third one.
Go up to.
There's a guy in Orange County who wrote a book about tacos.
They're one of their, about soft tacos?
Talk about a white commercial.
In Orange County?
Yeah, that's right.
What do champion gymnast Paul Hom, Morgan Hom, and Sean Johnson have in common?
Oh my God.
Great taste and Ortega.
My taco's the best.
I love Ortega's taco sauce.
It makes my taco pop.
My secret's the crunchy Ortega taco shell and diced green chilies.
Beat that, bro.
I take an Ortega soft tortilla, an Ortega shell, the taco double twist.
Boys, always competing.
Always competing.
There's no competition.
Ortega is the champion of great taste.
Yeah, you know, I heard, my girlfriend's white and she says that crunchy tacos are gringo tacos.
She calls them gringo tacos.
She's like, I can't have that taco.
I need a gringo taco.
Hey, undercover girl.
It's, how about, how about, I have a question for you.
Sure.

I can Google him right now.
Yeah, you should Google him.
I was looking at the picture and I looked at, What does Eddie Vedder look like?
Eddie Vedder look like, I guess, I guess he could look like Eddie Vedder.
He looks like the guy from Creed too.
A little bit, right?
No, no, no.

Yeah, her boyfriend.

You know, undercover, they go to the payphone.
Yeah.

You ever fucking watch a movie?
They don't pick up a cell phone.

Yeah.
Mr. Elevator's been around for maybe like eight months.
As this group.
Yeah.
As this group's been eight months.
Cool.
So it's still fresh.
That's a good amount of time.
I usually meet bands around that amount of time.
Like I said, that's when they're most approachable.
Because if they're around for a lot longer than that, they get a following.
And then you have to fight for their attention.
But right now, it's like, we got you guys.
Yeah, but you guys, how do you guys plan your, how do you guys plan the success for these bands?
For this particular band right now?
Playing live shows.
Live shows.
Putting out records.
Putting out music.
Touring.
You know.

Trying to get out there.
What do you guys have your most difficult part in getting the band?
Cleaning the kitchen.
Cleaning the fucking kitchen.
Being respectful.
Is that the hardest part?
Being respectful?
It's just like the hidden mugs you find around the house.
You know what?
It's gotta be crazy living.
It's just three of you, right?
It's three of us.
Four now, yeah.
Living together.
There's a fourth person now?

All right.
And yeah, he lives in the basement.
The dungeon.
Is he gonna be in the band eventually?
Is it gonna happen?
He wants to go-go dance, but.
Yeah, maybe you should give him a tambourine and have him dance around.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
You know, give him a tambourine with little tassels on it.
Booby tassels.
I like that.
He'd like that.
Titty tassels.
Morrissey titty tassels.
Morrissey one.
With his picture on it.

You have to have a lot of Morrissey products.
I think they'll sell.
Toilet paper.
Like, make Morrissey products that are really Mr. Elevator products.
Like, Mr. Elevator Morrissey stuff.
That's what I want to do with Bill Murray.
I just want to make a Bill Murray website.
Mr. Morrissey.

He's a really known guy, but he's really connected with the young, with the young cool crowd.

Oh, he was in Groundhog Day.
John Poole.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, Groundhog Day.
It's a really good movie, too.
He tried to kill himself a million times.
Oh, yes.
He was really depressed.
And then he finally got the girl at the end.
That's right.
And then he wasn't depressed no more.
Mm-hmm.
I love that movie.
It's a good movie.
Smart movie.
Mm-hmm.
And then I saw Ghostbusters.
In that order.
When I see that, it reminds me of Momentum.
Momentum?
Filmeries?
Momentum?
Momentum is crazy.
The one where, like, it's all choppy and he has to tattoo himself, right?
In order for him to remember what...
The movie is going backwards.
The movie is Dan Aykroyd.
I just want to get these guys to watch that.
Okay, okay.
Superman should also be the guy from Memento.
So, like, when he's taking his suit off, he's got all these weird tattoos.
Oh, yeah.
Because he's trying to remember shit.
Superman doesn't remember what the fuck he's been.
I bet you Justin Bieber is going to be Superman.
Yeah.
Justin Bieber would be a good Superman.
Wait, you say the guy from Memento?
Dude, Justin Bieber's voice is changing.
The guy from Memento?
Oh, no.
We were about to watch that last night.
But his voice is changing.
And now he's making like...

Yeah.
Do you guys like bikes?
Yeah.
We got two of our bikes stolen.
Yeah.
I fucking hate when that happens.
Two bikes stolen.
Two skateboards stolen.
Don't you feel like utter despair when you go outside and the bike is gone?
Don't you feel like screaming into the sky?
Yeah.
What's funny is I was like...
I had this feeling.
I was like, we should probably put our bikes away.
Not on that same day when I got...
When I got back home, they were gone.
Oh, man.
Didn't even lock it up.
Fucked up.
That's fucked up, man.

What were we talking about?
Responsibility.
Just like our neighbor.
Forever.
It's Mr. Miagi.
Hey, um...

This is our neighbor from the basement.
Thanks for calling and reminding them.
What's your name, dude?
Do not...
What's his name?
Your neighbor?
Mr. Miagi is what we call him.
Mr. Miagi?
We apologize.
Is that your real name?
He's sometimes calling Mr. Shiitake.
Why does he have so many gates around your house?
That's what I want to know.
Hiroka Miagi.
Mi name.
What?
My name.
My name.
Hiro-san.
Oh.

I do not take suggestions for my name.
No suggestions.

Have you seen the video of Mr. Miagi drunk?
No.
You just put it, Mr. Miagi drunk.
You know, you don't know the real sound until you hear it really on the radio, the internet radio.
Weren't you on Happy Days?
Still.
Uh, no.
That was, uh, that was, uh, that was, uh, some other person.
I don't know.
Was that Mr. Miagi?
It wasn't Hiro-san.
No way.
That was Fonzie.
Fonzie?

That was, uh, you know, the Fon.
Oh, so you used to, you used to watch that show, too, huh?
He's, he's kind of like me.
He kind of lives in a bathroom and I live in a basement.
Wow.
Oh.
Hey, what happened to your accent?
Hiro-san.
It was all a ruse.
Oh, my God.
You got me going, buddy.
Because, you know, we live in, like, an area where there's a lot of people, like, you know, that, that accent.
I mean, I wouldn't, it wouldn't have done, I would have thought, hey, shoot, you know, Habib is calling.
That's cool.
Hey, what are the chances his name was actually Miagi when I guessed that?
Great.
That's good.
That's good.
So, uh, hey, dudes, I found a bar.
I found a bunch of wood today, so, uh, we're building a new band.
Hell yeah.
That just gave me a bunch of wood.
That gave me cum stains.
I just dumpster dived through these guys so hard today.
Thanks, Shane.
It's good.

My dad plays drums and I just bugged him for a long time.
He would never let me play.
You saw him playing you since you were little?
Yeah.
I was like...
Well, he never even really played when I was little.
He just had the drum sets like packed away in the garage.
Oh, okay.
And I'd beg him and he wouldn't let me play until I was like 15.
Why would he let you play?
He said it's not fun and games.
If you're gonna play, you gotta like practice and take lessons and stuff.
Oh, wow.
So, it was weird.
So, were you like, forget it?
No, I kept bugging him and he didn't let me play until I was like 15.
Oh, when you were able to drive?

I think 15 would be the right age for you to...
Because, you know...
Yeah.
You know.
But you know what?
Sometimes there's a young boy that is starting his career little.
Yeah, he's like a prodigy, right?
And he became a big successful and he was a drummer too.
Yeah.
He was a drummer first.
And then at first, people wouldn't let him play until his mom said, you know what?
I'm just gonna post this video to see how the reaction, right?
And the drummer...
The drummer boy is like, notice that, you know...
You know, it looks like he's doing something good.
Now, he played guitar too at the same time, but he picked up the drummers though.
Wow.
Yeah.
Or that drummer kid who was like three years old and he's playing like...
He became just...
Like a fire.
Yeah.
See that?
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's rad.
And then later he became Justin Bieber.
Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
It's a little bit...
It's funny.
Superman, man.
But anyways, so you played drums for a long time then?
Yeah.
Okay.
What's your favorite...
Yeah.
What's your...
What's your favorite brand of drums or heads?
I don't even know.
I'm so unpicky.
If they're drums, I'll play them.
When you start playing...
Pots and pans.
What do you follow?
The guitar or bass or...
It's just completely wise.
I have no idea.
I try not to think about anything when I play.
You just go at it.
Whatever you feel.
It just flows out, man.
I try to play from my heart rather than my head.
Right.
Yeah.
So how often do you guys get together to jam and play?
I mean, we're always...
Find the chemistry.
We're always jamming acoustic guitars on our stoop.
We're always talking about ideas and everything.
Cool.
We've been playing a lot more shows lately, so we don't get together and jam as often, but...
