Several Ways To Live In Mexico City

Big Bowls, Baseball and Brrrrr

Entrees were skipped after the team barely finished the suggested appetizer bowl at the Baseball themed seafood place called El Peladito. Fresh back from Germany and Michigan, Nick is not letting Florian get away with complaining about Mexican winters. Following up on the hopes and fears from the last episode, the good and the bad from the 34c3 is very carefully addressed.

Burning Man in Leipzig

Meeting at their favorite coffee bar, Nick and Florian go dark again. Collapsed buildings, buried, pre-columbian artifacts, and a world full of harassment. But Nick has a plan to make the world a better place.

Do you like living in Mexico City?

[Apologies for the miserable audio quality. Hang in there! The next one will be better.] A Japanese supermarket sets the stage for Nick and Florian to discuss the several ways to die in Mexico City. Florian also learns the real difference between Tequila and Mezcal.

Only in Mexico.

Florian and Nick get lost in their "Only in Mexico" draft and almost completely forget to talk about their dinners, or the pie that Nick made (famous on Instagram). From taking a stab at the real meaning behind "ahorita" to why Mexicans rush onto collapsed buildings after earthquakes, our gourmands share what they find strange and unique about the raza cosmica.

Little Habanero Peppers & Big Devastating Earthquakes

Starting off with great Conchinita Pibil and finishing off with a ridiculously overcarbonated ale, Nick and Florian figure that perhaps two Gueros from different continents could eat their way to a good podcast. This time around, our gourmandistas focus on the September 19th earthquake, Nick's role as a volunteer "Brigadista" in the Alvaro Obregon 286 building collapse and, as always, life in general in Mexico City and environs as experienced by two extranjeros.
