Grupo Frontera joins Takes Us Out for a tour-day carne asada they cooked up themselves outside of Prudential Center in New Jersey—eating fresh off the grill while we play a game of “Line ’Em Up” (answer the question or take the shot). Between bites and laughs, they break down what makes the perfect carne asada vibe (it’s the music and the people), share the must-play songs for the grill, reveal which tracks they’d redo, rank collaborations, and talk their EP Con Dolor, recording with legendary artists, and why “quality first” matters. They also tell the story behind “Cada Vez Me Gustas Más” with Alejandro Fernández, manifest dream collabs (Bruno Mars, Post Malone, Jonas Brothers), explain how they’re finding the “just right” balance on tour (side quests included), and reflect on making history as the first regional Mexican group to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.

00:00Part of the U.S. tour, there's probably like, what, month three? Month four? I think it's month
00:03four. We bought this month two. Yeah. Because the first month we were like, okay, we're fiending
00:08for some carne asada. We're here at Prudential Center. This is what y'all do, right? This is
00:19normal. This is the carne asada. Tell me about this. Tell me about what we're cooking up today.
00:25Usually back at home, this is what I do. I like to do this a lot. And this is really
00:29important because usually it's boring when you're by yourself. There's people around
00:33you. We just joke around. Yeah. The guys are like, oh, it looks good. Or they're picking
00:38here and there. I don't like that. But for the confirmation that it's good. Yeah. I want
00:45a medium. That's a little toaster. You have to have a crew while you're cooking. You can't
00:49just be by yourself. Come on now. Yeah. We're not going to do nothing. We're just going to
00:53watch. But that helps the meat get better. It's like the energy. And especially like this.
00:59Yeah. Yeah. When you do this, with a little beer, maybe. But when it's cold. When it's
01:03cold, they're like this. Exactly. I'm ready for the cameras to stop rolling. We can get
01:07a beer and do the same thing. So what makes for the perfect carne asada? Not even just
01:12the food, but like the vibe. Yeah. I was about to say, I don't think it's
01:14more about the food to me. What I think what makes it like good, it's the music. Because
01:19that's what's going to set the vibe. Okay. So what's the song that you need to have
01:21played your carne asada? Everyone has to answer this. There's a lot. For me, it has to be
01:26una pagina mas.
01:28Ahí comienza mi vida, una pagina mas.
01:34I gotta say riconcito en el cielo.
01:36Un riconcito en el cielo.
01:39Right now, I'm on a different vibe. I don't know why.
01:42Or a carne asada.
01:43No, si.
01:45No, no, no.
01:46But you guys are giving the oldie songs. My song is also an oldie, but it's a different
01:51style. It's like the Ultimas Noticias.
02:00I was going to say that one. I was going to say Casas de Madera. I swear to God.
02:07Hey, in country music, bro?
02:09Yeah, right now.
02:10You can call us Ella Fellas.
02:11She's from Texas, I can tell.
02:13Where are the fellas?
02:13He sang it before I even finished. You heard that, right?
02:16Ella Fellas?
02:16Yeah.
02:17You can call us Ella Fellas. He started singing.
02:19She was in Texas, I can tell.
02:21So y'all going to be out there like tossing hats at the stage of Miss Ella Langley?
02:25Yes.
02:25Okay.
02:25So I'm from Texas as well.
02:27Yeah.
02:27So this is very, this is bringing me back.
02:29What part?
02:29I'm from the suburbs of Houston, but I rep 713 till I die, baby.
02:33Had it on me.
02:33Don't get confused.
02:35I don't get this enough.
02:36So I'm so happy that y'all brought this to Jersey.
02:39Guess what?
02:40This meat is from Houston.
02:41Is it real?
02:42Yes.
02:42Especially from the suburbs.
02:44We brought it from the suburbs.
02:45We didn't.
02:46Right.
02:46We knew you're from Houston, so we.
02:48You brought a little piece of home from, just for me?
02:50Yeah.
02:50Bring the meat.
02:51Bring the meat.
02:52And we call your family.
02:53It's very good.
02:57So I'm seeing a lot of food that's done.
02:59I think it's time for us to go sit on down.
03:01It's bouncing.
03:02Oh, let's go.
03:02I'm ready.
03:03Let's do that.
03:03Okay.
03:04Take a seat, any seat.
03:07Okay.
03:07As you will see, we do have some lovely shot glasses here on the table.
03:10Yeah.
03:11Love it.
03:11Because we're going to be playing a little bit of a game.
03:13Okay.
03:14This game is called line them up.
03:16I'm going to ask some questions and if you answer, I take the shot.
03:19Now, if you don't want to answer, you got to take the shot.
03:22I'm not going to answer any question now.
03:23Then you want to drink?
03:24Yeah.
03:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:26We have to be truthful.
03:27I want to drink.
03:28Because after this, I'm going to make sure that this is correct.
03:30I'm going to check everybody's team.
03:31Okay.
03:32So don't lie to me just to get me out here doing this a little bit.
03:35You get drunk because of you.
03:37Right.
03:37Exactly.
03:38Okay.
03:38So let's, let's just go ahead and get us started.
03:40All right.
03:41First question.
03:41Who wants to go first?
03:42I'll go first.
03:43You'll go first?
03:43Yes.
03:44Okay.
03:44Name a song you wish you did differently or wouldn't do again.
03:48I don't know.
03:49I don't know what it is.
03:51But what's the name?
03:52Ya No.
03:52We have a song called Ya No.
03:55We actually did it on a billboard panel.
03:57It was making your first hit or making a hit.
04:00Making a hit.
04:01And when we played it, it was a cumbia.
04:03But for some reason we decided to release it as a Norteña.
04:05And I wish we had released it as a cumbia.
04:14Freak up.
04:14Freak up.
04:15I really thought that was going to stop you.
04:17That's true.
04:17There's a bunch of songs that we wish we could have done differently.
04:20But that, I get that.
04:21I get that.
04:21So why the change?
04:23That's a shot.
04:24It's full.
04:24It is a shot.
04:25I told him we got to fill it up.
04:26I don't mind.
04:28Well, why did you choose that?
04:29While I take the shot, tell me why you chose to switch it up.
04:31We say this a lot now, but it was...
04:34Oh, he's...
04:38We say this a lot more now, but back then, I think it was maybe a year ago,
04:42when we did that and we released that song,
04:45we feel that the music industry right now
04:48is in the same place that it was when we first started coming out.
04:51Like, people are trying to find new styles, new music,
04:54something different that catches their ear.
04:56And we felt at that moment that we were releasing too many cumbias.
04:59Even though we're a group primarily of cumbias,
05:02we were like, let's do something different.
05:04Like, our second album,
05:05Cuando Que No Pasa Nada,
05:06it was full of experimental songs.
05:08We have an R&B, like three country songs.
05:10A sierra, like a corrido style song, but it's not a corrido.
05:13We just love experimenting, but we haven't done something that was experimental,
05:18but traditional, like our music.
05:20And after Ya No, we released an album that was experimental, but traditional.
05:25So I feel like, even though I wish it would have came out as a cumbia,
05:29it helped us release Lo Que Me Falta Por Llor.
05:37You just released an EP, Con Dolor.
05:40Tell us a little bit about the making of those songs.
05:42We did a song in Lo Que Me Falta Por Llor que se llama,
05:45Que Haces Por Aca.
05:46That song is with a group called,
05:48Mr. Chivo.
05:49Mr. Chivo.
05:50Mr. Chivo.
05:51It's a really traditional group of cumbias from where we're from.
05:55Not in a rude way.
05:56We call them tios because they're like,
05:58some of them are actually our tios.
05:59So like being in the studio with them, it was like,
06:01I can't believe this is how the music worked back then.
06:03And they would tell us like,
06:04when we used to recording tapes,
06:05like if we wanted to make a revision,
06:08we had to cut the tape and then stick it back together.
06:10And I was like, this is so crazy.
06:13So when we were working on Con Dolor,
06:15we did want to go even farther back to like a more traditional style.
06:19We grew up listening to Intocable.
06:20Ricky Muñoz, he actually helped us produce one of our songs,
06:23la de Ojitos Bellos.
06:29Getting to be in the studio with these people
06:31that are in the music industry way before you
06:34and like them telling you their experiences in the music industry
06:37and at the same time being able to record songs
06:39that make you feel a little bit more tied to that past era of music.
06:43It's like really makes you feel like at home.
06:47Even though we weren't at home,
06:48like it just helps you feel more closer to your roots, I guess.
06:51Yeah.
06:51I will say that just for all the unks out there,
06:54that unk is a way of being.
06:55It's not about age.
06:56So we're inclusive around these parts.
06:58Okay.
06:59We got an unk in the group.
07:00You got an unk in the group?
07:01Who's unk?
07:01Right here. I'm the unk.
07:03How is he unk though?
07:04He's the mama.
07:05Look at him.
07:06Look at him.
07:08What about my look?
07:10We're the oldest one.
07:11Yeah.
07:12Beto's the oldest one, but Juan is the unk.
07:14He's a little boy.
07:15I want to feel young.
07:17He wants to feel old.
07:19It's because he says a lot of dad jokes
07:21and he does a lot of goofy stuff.
07:23So we just, he's the unk.
07:24I love an unk.
07:25I am auntie for real.
07:26Auntie down.
07:28So I'm with you.
07:28They don't get the vibes.
07:29They don't get the vibes, but it's good over here.
07:31I love it over here.
07:32But what did you learn from those people that you worked with?
07:36Like individually, I would love to know like something that you learned about that process
07:39that you took for either making this album or just your approach to music in general.
07:44You have to like learn from the past.
07:47The ones that paved the way for us.
07:49To know what, to pave the way for us.
07:53Right now, I don't know, sometimes music.
07:56We just, people are putting music out like every day and I don't think they're looking for the quality.
08:01So back then they used to look for, when they make a song, they were making quality and they took
08:06their time.
08:08Now, including us, sometimes we just put out music for just putting out without making love to the track.
08:14Beto, what did you learn?
08:18Wait, no, you don't have to take a shot yet.
08:21That's not even a question.
08:23That's not even a question.
08:24That's not even a question.
08:24That's not even a question.
08:25That's not even a question.
08:25I want to learn the passion all these guys have for music and all the years pass and they're still
08:36working,
08:37they're still playing at the arena, they're still making music.
08:41You see those guys in the studio, they have all this energy, sometimes more energy than we have.
08:52But you released Cada Vez Me Gustas Mas.
08:55That is a little bit of what you're talking about.
08:58It's perfect blend of your sound and Alejandro Fernandez, his sound.
09:03How did you approach coming into that collaboration to achieve that balance?
09:08It was, I can't believe you just did that.
09:11It was, uh...
09:12Please!
09:14I just told you about locking in.
09:16What was that?
09:17That wasn't it.
09:18That's my bad, that's my bad.
09:19This is going to sound a little cocky, but it wasn't that hard to get a collab with Alejandro.
09:25I'm not saying because of who we are or whatever, but he was presenting in McAllen.
09:28He had a concert in McAllen and we just so happened to want to see him.
09:32And he invited us to say hi before the concert.
09:35And that's where we just, out of nowhere, said, like,
09:38Oh, it would be cool to do a song together.
09:40But whenever we say that, we don't expect anything, like, from it.
09:44Because, like...
09:45It happens, it happens.
09:46Yeah, like, once you're in the music industry for a little bit,
09:48you know that, like, that sentence just gets thrown around a lot.
09:52And it's like a 50-50 bit of workout.
09:54So we already got used to that.
09:56And when we said it would be cool to do a song together, like, two days later, he sends us
10:00a song.
10:00And we were like, what?
10:02Like, he didn't even say hi or anything.
10:03He just sends us a song.
10:05And we were like, okay.
10:05After working with Bad Bunny and Manuel Turizo, also Fuerza Régida and Mejalo and Coqueta.
10:09I guess we found that sweet spot of doing two different genres in one song.
10:14So we told him, like, would you mind if we messed with it a little bit?
10:18And he said, go for it.
10:19Like, whatever you guys want to change, I'm okay.
10:20I don't think he expected us to change basically half the song or the whole song.
10:24But he liked it.
10:25After that, we went to his house in Punta Mita.
10:27We recorded probably from, like, 8 in the morning till 12 p.m.
10:31Like, in the afternoon.
10:31Because we were just talking and singing.
10:34He had speakers, like, all around the house and we were putting his music.
10:37And when that happens to us, like, when people put our songs on the speaker, we're like, I mean, I
10:41hear it almost every day.
10:43So I get where he was coming from.
10:44But at that moment, we were just more fans than friends.
10:48He had carne asada just like this.
10:50We were drinking a little bit.
10:53And we stayed till, like, 1 in the morning just talking with him.
10:56Like, that's like the drink.
10:57Yeah.
10:58It's really crazy because the songs that we have with different artists, it's weird.
11:02But at the same time, it's like, when it happens, we somehow already knew it was going to happen.
11:06Like, when we did our first ever song with Karin, they went to go see him in concert, like, two
11:10months before.
11:12But that was before, like, Frontera or No Se Va or whatever.
11:14Like, they went to go see him in concert two months before we released Que Vuelvas.
11:17Y había otro, Fuerza Rígida?
11:19No, Firme.
11:20Ah, Grupo Firme.
11:21They saw him, like, a month before El Amor de Su Vida came out, too.
11:24And then with Alejandro Fernandez, it took a little longer, but it was the same thing.
11:29Like, we saw him in concert maybe four times.
11:31We gave a concert to his mom in Guadalajara.
11:34Yeah.
11:35His mom went to see us in Guadalajara and then we went to go see him in McAllen.
11:39It was weird because, like, we sang to his mom in his hometown.
11:42We went to go see him in our hometown.
11:44And after that is when the song happened.
11:46Manifest.
11:46Yeah.
11:47Manifest.
11:48One thing I love to do is manifest.
11:49Yeah.
11:50With Bad Bunny, the 1%, he said, like, oh, this song sounds like Bad Bunny can fit on it.
11:55And, like, three weeks later, he was on the song.
11:57So, like, everything that we recorded somehow just seems like it was supposed to happen.
12:01Okay, so let's manifest right now.
12:02What y'all want to do?
12:03Bruno Mars, I want you.
12:04I want you.
12:05I love you.
12:05Now.
12:06Okay.
12:08The Jonas Brothers, too, actually.
12:09I don't know why, but we've been getting, like, a lot of comparison to them.
12:12That's interesting.
12:13I don't know why.
12:14Because my look.
12:15Ah.
12:16Okay.
12:17Okay.
12:17Okay, sure.
12:19Okay, so what would a song with either Bruno or the Jonas Brothers sound like?
12:23I feel like it's because we sing a lot of heartbreak songs, obviously.
12:26I think we have three, like, love songs and the rest is all sad.
12:30But I feel like with Bruno Mars, it would have to be a super depressed, heartbreaking song.
12:35Or?
12:3624 Karamagic cumbia version.
12:39Yeah.
12:39Like, something like.
12:41Beto has it in his mind that one time Bruno Mars went to, he had a concert in Mexico and
12:46he played
12:46the sonidito.
12:47Mm-hmm.
12:47So Beto thinks he's like some party animal now.
12:49Well.
12:49He likes to party.
12:50I kind of like the sound of that.
12:52Yes.
12:52The cameras are rolling, so Bruno, if you're listening.
12:56We're here.
12:56For 58 times, Bruno.
12:58With our songs, I don't think we can make it because it's all sad.
13:01And it hasn't been all sad for us.
13:03I don't think it's, it's been at a point, we just haven't been able to enjoy it as much.
13:09Because in the beginning, everything was happening so fast that we didn't get to know what the
13:12hell was going on.
13:13We just kept going, going, going.
13:14Like, imagine the line at the airport, everybody just pushing you behind and you're like, okay,
13:17okay, what's going on?
13:18And that's how everything was in the beginning.
13:20Then towards the middle, that's when we all figured out like, you know what, we need
13:23to relax and enjoy it.
13:25But I think we enjoyed it a little bit too much last year that we didn't tour and we were
13:29just way hanging out in the back and making music.
13:32It did help a lot.
13:33This tour, we kind of found like the spot right in the middle where we're like, okay,
13:38we can get to a town.
13:39Let's say we're coming in New Jersey.
13:41We didn't happen this time, but that's how we've been planning it.
13:44That next time we're in New Jersey, we're going to get there three days before.
13:47We're going to enjoy New Jersey.
13:48We're going to go travel, do this.
13:50And then at the weekends, we're going to play.
13:51The next three days after that, we're going to enjoy the next town over.
13:54For this tour, side question is a must.
13:56Yeah, side question is a must.
13:58I'm just going to take a shot now.
14:00Like they're, they're looking at me.
14:03I know, they've been there the whole time.
14:05We have another line them up question.
14:07Who wants to go next?
14:08I'll go.
14:09You'll go?
14:10Okay.
14:10Rank your collaborations.
14:12Okay.
14:13How many though?
14:14How many?
14:19I cannot bring down any of them.
14:22I should have gotten that question.
14:23Thank God.
14:25I didn't have that one in me.
14:27I'm not going to lie.
14:30I am so ready for this, you guys.
14:34Is that the dance?
14:35Yeah.
14:37All right.
14:38Everybody sit down.
14:41So we have discourse where we do rapid fire questions.
14:45Okay.
14:45I want your answers while we eat.
14:47Blue.
14:47Um, Blanco or Raposado?
14:50Blanco.
14:51Blanco.
14:51Blanco.
14:52Secret ingredient to make the carne asada spread.
14:54What's your secret ingredient that you do that's special,
14:57that makes your carne asada special?
14:59Oh, a sauce.
15:01Sauce?
15:01Yeah.
15:02Can you tell me the recipe or no?
15:04No.
15:05Can you tell me later?
15:06Shot.
15:06Give him a shot.
15:08Okay.
15:08Arenas or small venues?
15:10Arenas.
15:11Arenas, yeah.
15:12Depends what's the small venue.
15:13No, it depends.
15:14Depends the city.
15:15Yeah.
15:15Depends the city.
15:16Because if it's Houston, the small venues go crazy.
15:19Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:20But it depends where.
15:21The arena was badass too.
15:22Not going to chunk it, but.
15:24Carlos, this is good as fuck.
15:26You're right.
15:26I'm so mad I have to ask y'all questions.
15:28I just want to eat.
15:29What?
15:30Favorite city to tour in.
15:32Favorite city to tour.
15:33Damn.
15:33Shot.
15:34Anywhere in Texas, to be honest.
15:36Yeah, anywhere in Texas.
15:36Well, actually, no.
15:37Salt Lake and Denver.
15:39Colorado.
15:39Damn, they were crazy.
15:40Denver went crazy.
15:41Oklahoma.
15:42Oklahoma.
15:43Oh, at the zoo amphitheater, they were crazy.
15:45We literally played at a zoo and it was badass.
15:48I will never.
15:48We'll just take the shot every while.
15:50We said so many things.
15:51No.
15:51But I will never let Oklahoma get their tins, but I'll let y'all give them the credit.
15:55What job would you be doing if not making music?
15:58This is going to sound so like a lie, but it's true.
16:02I would have been a pediatrician.
16:03I was studying medicine so I could be a pediatrician and then No Se Va took off and now I'm
16:07a freaking
16:07singer, so I'm here.
16:10Photographer.
16:11Photographer.
16:12A farmer.
16:13A salesman.
16:14Car salesman.
16:14A finance manager.
16:16You would still be there?
16:17Yeah.
16:18I'm making good money, dude.
16:20Me?
16:21Drug dealer.
16:21I'm just kidding.
16:22Ah.
16:24Produce.
16:24I would have hot produce.
16:26I had trucks.
16:2718-wheelers.
16:28If you could switch lives with another member of the group for a day, who would it be?
16:34Can I be honest with you?
16:36I've been watching a lot of Ted Lasso reels.
16:39I already saw the series.
16:40But you know when Ted Lasso tells Jamie, be a goldfish?
16:43Or no, what animal would you be?
16:45And Jamie says, coach, I'm me.
16:47Why would I want to be anything else?
16:49No, I'm not.
16:49That's how I feel.
16:50You just want to be you.
16:51Yeah.
16:52I think I want to see that move.
16:54This is going to sound really bad, actually.
16:55Lo siento.
16:56I love my nieces and nephews.
16:58I do not want to be a dad yet.
17:00Oh, yeah.
17:01We got to put that on.
17:01They all have kids.
17:02I don't.
17:03So I would stick with my life for that.
17:05That's great.
17:06I could have fun with them instead of having breaks.
17:08The point of nieces and nephews is you can give them back at the end of the day.
17:11Yeah.
17:11So, yeah, you are Unc.
17:12Yeah, technically, yeah.
17:13You are.
17:13I think I would be, I want to see the stage, which is with Carlos.
17:18Oh, to see that for, like that view?
17:19To see the whole.
17:21The whole perspective.
17:22The whole show, his view.
17:24Oh, wow.
17:25I like that.
17:26Yeah.
17:26Okay.
17:26It's because I'm upside down.
17:28I'm playing upside down.
17:29Right, right, right.
17:30It's one of one.
17:31I would like to be Julián.
17:32I think he has a lot of fun.
17:35I never see him with a bad energy.
17:37Sometimes, like after a lot of shows, you get kind of tired.
17:41After a lot of shows, Julián, before the show, he's like.
17:44Yeah, and then.
17:45And then it sort of starts.
17:46Yeah, he's a party animal, so I think I would show Julián.
17:49Yeah, you said, what, half a bottle?
17:52Yeah, never mind.
17:53A show?
17:53Never mind.
17:54You hear that and you're like, let me take that one back.
17:57No, it depends.
17:57It depends on the show and depends on the people.
17:59I probably finish a bottle by myself.
18:00And I'm completely sober by the end of the show.
18:02That's a lie.
18:04That is a lie.
18:05Lie detector test determined.
18:07That was a lie.
18:08We have another lineup question.
18:09Who wants to go?
18:10Carlos Julián.
18:10Julián.
18:11No, Carlos.
18:11We haven't gone.
18:12Fuck, marry, kill your albums.
18:14Can I answer?
18:15I got the answer.
18:15Fuck, can I answer?
18:17Kill, Jugando Que No Pasa Nada.
18:18Yeah, definitely.
18:20Yep.
18:21Marry, El Comienzo.
18:22Yes.
18:22Yeah.
18:23I think we all have the same answer.
18:25Fuck this one.
18:25Fuck this one.
18:26Fuck, uh...
18:28Eh...
18:29Fair.
18:30Yeah, that's the truth.
18:31I don't remember what songs are on the album.
18:32You know what?
18:33I feel like I'm in the episode of Hot Ones right now, and I'm like on the eighth wing.
18:37I'm taking this.
18:37Chad, Chad.
18:38Here she goes.
18:39Yes, it is.
18:40Yeah, she goes over there in the back.
18:41Chad!
18:43Here's the thing, guys.
18:44You guys watching, they could've literally put water and we would've acted like it was tequila,
18:49but they actually put tequila, so that's on you.
18:50No, that was bigger than the other ones, guys.
18:52I promise that was bigger than the one I did prior.
18:55We could've acted like, oh!
18:56Okay.
18:56We're gonna film behind the scenes, you're throwing off next to a trailer.
19:00That's never getting filmed, okay?
19:02But you're staying for the concert, right?
19:04I mean, I have to.
19:05Hell yeah.
19:05I have to see this 20-second chug and then have the bottle.
19:08You're nearing the end of the tour.
19:09You talked a little bit how this has been different than your approach in years past.
19:14Um, flow state.
19:16But I wanna know, like, was that an intention that you set?
19:19To have this tour be different than ones you've done in the past?
19:22Yeah.
19:22Because, okay, our first ever tour was very poorly planned.
19:27Because we had no idea what the music industry was like.
19:30We didn't know.
19:31What to expect?
19:32We didn't know that there was, like, specific seasons for awards, right?
19:35So we planned the tour without knowing that.
19:38And they invited us to awards, and we couldn't go because we were on tour.
19:41We didn't know how to say no in the beginning.
19:43Yeah, we did not know how to say no because we would have a concert in California,
19:47and the next day we'd have to go to Guatemala.
19:50Or fly to, yeah, Mexico, and then the next day come back.
19:54365 days out of the year, I think we played 200, 270 shows we did that year.
19:58Yeah, easy.
19:59It was crazy.
20:00And then the second tour was, like...
20:02Very chill.
20:03Way too chill.
20:05Yeah.
20:05And this one is perfect.
20:07Uh-huh.
20:08Just right.
20:08To me, this is perfect tour.
20:11After seeing how the last two tours were, the day that they were, like, deciding how
20:16this one was going to work, we were actually in the room.
20:18Those first two, we were like, nah, y'all got it.
20:20And this one, we were in the room, we were like, no, no, no, no.
20:22Si, pero...
20:23Maya, I'm just going to put something there.
20:25I like it, but also, we have so many...
20:28I like it.
20:29I think three days?
20:31It's perfect.
20:31Three days is perfect.
20:32Three days is perfect.
20:32Four days, four days.
20:33Well, I like four days, but I like four days, but like, to have a break between one day.
20:36Like, we played Wednesday, we have break Thursday, and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
20:40Yeah.
20:40That's good.
20:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:41Since the beginning of the tour, we've been Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
20:44Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
20:45Talking?
20:46Yeah.
20:47I don't mind.
20:47No, I don't mind either.
20:48It's your age, it's your age.
20:50Yeah, it is my age.
20:51We learned that four is...
20:52Says the hunk.
20:53Yeah, four is like...
20:54Four in a row is like...
20:55Don't give me five.
20:56I don't mean it in a rude way, but I do understand.
20:59Because like, I swear, every day I like go into the venue, and they're on the phone with like,
21:05their kids and their wives and everything.
21:08And after like, so many concerts, I feel like it is a little tiring.
21:11Especially since like, you try to call my nieces and nephews before the concert,
21:15and after the concert, if they're still awake, that's bad because it's already late.
21:19And I'm like, and I'm like, I get it.
21:21But at the same time, it's like, I have to understand that they're tired because of their age,
21:27in the nicest way possible.
21:28I'm not trying to call them over.
21:29Oh, that's right.
21:30We also know that it's only for three, four months out of the year.
21:32Right.
21:33So we know that these three months, these four months that we're on tour,
21:35we have to kind of go through it.
21:37And then we know that after that, we're going to continue.
21:40I mean, we're going to be...
21:40After that, we're going to be in our home, like laying down and looking through the ceiling.
21:45We got nothing else to do.
21:46I want to go back.
21:47I want to go back.
21:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:49Grass is always greener, but also it seems like y'all found the little,
21:52kind of like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
21:54You found what's just right.
21:55A loophole.
21:55Yeah.
21:55Yeah, yeah.
21:56I want to really talk about you all making history as the first regional Mexican group
22:01to perform at the Grand Ole Opry.
22:03Oh.
22:04I don't know if you can tell, but I'm really nervous.
22:07Okay.
22:07Tell us about that.
22:08You found the loophole.
22:09How did I find it?
22:10We were going to say we weren't the first regional Mexican artists.
22:13We were the first regional Mexican group.
22:14Okay.
22:15Because before us was Karin.
22:16Yeah.
22:17But, but yeah, that was, that was really crazy.
22:20I remember we got there and they have like the original stage floor in a little circle.
22:25I got there and I got like on my stomach and I kissed it and they were like, I don't
22:29think you should have done that
22:30And I was like, oh
22:31But no, yeah, it was really crazy
22:34And the Hall of Fame?
22:35Yeah, the Hall of Fame
22:36All of the artists that have played there, George Strait
22:39Oof, I love Ritam Poque Derecho
22:41I don't know, all this crazy
22:42We did a joke that day when they first told us about the Grand Ole Opry
22:46We were all like, fuck yeah, and then we went, why?
22:49Yeah, like, yeah, but why us?
22:51What are we going to do there?
22:53But that's exactly how we all reacted
22:55That was cool, like, people actually, they liked our music
22:58They showed up for us, we had a bunch of them
22:59It was not just Mexicans, like, there were all kinds of people and that was cool for us
23:05Like, they actually liked our music
23:07We knew about the Grand Ole Opry, about us performing there, I think, a week or two, maybe even a
23:11month before
23:12But the day we performed at the Grand Ole Opry, we woke up and they told us that we were
23:16nominated for two American Grammys
23:18So the whole experience was even more special
23:20That's the first time we were nominated, I think, for the American Grammys
23:23It's really just about the feeling and what you brought to us today is that, like, home and tradition
23:28And anybody can connect to that
23:31Those are all the questions I have, but I still have two shots on the table
23:35I was about to say
23:36Let him out
23:36I did one, Carlos, I can't believe this, man
23:40No, no, no, but do a question, do a part of it
23:42Okay
23:43Dispareco, okay?
23:43Okay
23:44I already answered one
23:46Last time you lied in an interview
23:48I don't know
23:49Beto?
23:49No
23:51This one's for Beto, Beto, you didn't do one yet
23:52He did
23:53I did?
23:54Okay, okay
23:55No, no, no, you know what, Beto did one without the question
23:58So you can do the question for him and then he'll let me know if he wants to pick it
24:01up
24:01Right, right, right, okay
24:02He'll pick one
24:02Okay
24:04Last time you lied in an interview, and what was the lie?
24:07Last time we lied in an interview
24:09We did lie sometimes
24:10In this interview
24:12He lied every time
24:13Last time we lied in an interview, not this one, but
24:16I don't remember, but
24:17I remember one time I said
24:22That, like, I was, like
24:25Como se dice? Descansado?
24:27I was tired
24:28I was not tired
24:28I was not tired
24:29I was, like, on all my senses, and I was, like, uh, little drunk
24:34Yeah
24:35He does, I'm not gonna lie, he does that a lot
24:37You kept saying you were married for, like, a year, and you were single for, like, two months
24:42That's a lie
24:43Cause I did the same thing
24:47That's T, okay, so that's one for me
24:49Okay, now, you all have your phones, right?
24:51You can all do it
24:51Okay, show me the first photo in your camera roll
24:54What does that mean? Like, the last one taken or the first one taken?
24:57The first one taken
24:57The first one taken
24:59Yeah, all the way up
25:00Go up to the top, baby
25:03The first one is a car
25:05The second one is me singing at Tiny Desk
25:08Oh my god
25:09This is a car
25:10That's a car
25:11That's my best friend
25:12That's another car, actually
25:13That's my best friend from middle school
25:14And then
25:16A song with my luma
25:17Look, hey, look at the second photo with Beto's
25:20Beto's son
25:20When he was little
25:21But no, he's, like, so big now
25:24That's so bad
25:24What year was that?
25:25June 30, 2022
25:272022
25:27Oh, that
25:28That does have a picture from when we were all fat
25:31Let me see, let me see
25:32This is 2020, October
25:352020, bro
25:36I know, I was exploding
25:37That's insane
25:38We were all, like, really fat
25:40We were really fat back then
25:42That's
25:43I chronic
25:44That was 2020 as well?
25:46That was 2021, yeah
25:46So it seems I have to take two shots
25:48But no, I think we should just all take them
25:50Can we just fly
25:51Can we please just fly in and wrap it up?
25:54Salud!
25:54Salud!
25:55Okay, good, good, good, good
25:56Thank you, thank you, thank you
25:57Are we gonna work out right now?
25:58I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go drunk to them again
26:01I don't know
26:02Y'all are gonna work out after this?
26:03Yeah
26:04We're not dead
26:05I'm not gonna ask questions
26:06I think we're not dead
