We welcome Will back to the podcast and dive a bit deeper into Cyberpunk (Raul is jaded). So take your shot! It's a doozie. James is here and he will share his opinion.  Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary!! Luis is Back!! We play a little made up game where we plug some random, random, companies. Social media kinda sucks huh? WOW MORE CYBERPUNK TALK, FANTASTIC. Elden Ring has been a blast but Raul really needs to warn you about something. Another laidback one.

SPANISH? SPANGLISH? EPISODE Grab yer drinks. A little special episode where we interview Kiko from Minutos Para El Cafe, a nice podcast that gives guidance for homies with deep thoughts (Go check them out! They do good work). A couple funny stories from the past involving workplaces, DND, and mutual friends. Enjoy & Fuck you, I'm going back to Elden Ring. -Raul.

"Can you believe this weather? It's 85 degrees outside. Beautiful!" THE MOST BILINGUAL EPISODE Jay and Raul (A.K.A. the REAL island boys) are back and fashionably late. Puerto Rico is at it again, #JusticiaSalarial. School classmate shout-outs (sorry everyone) along with some funny stories. Jay finds a little magazine that's pretty cool and Raul talks a bit about his new twitch channel. Games are fun, we talk about those a little bit. Just two dudes chillin honestly.

Saluting all our poop brothers and sisters, those who fight the good fight at the toilet bowl. METAMUCIL ASS JUICE. Also no, Raul, this episode did not come out in November. We go a bit loosey goosey with the topics and just have some old school fun. We swear we aren't 12 years old. F#ck Chris D'Elia!

SOUNDBOARD ACQUIRED! We go over the semi disaster that is GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition along with a list of companies that have similar shady business practices, a Fuck Mary Kill - Halloween edition, and just general chit chat with our friend Andy!  EL PERREO INTENSO ACABA DE COMENZAR.

Here is a long one for all of you listeners. We are playing Jeopardy with Colonel, Gabby and Raul this time around complete with a board we did really quick for visual reference. You can catch that on our video episode on YouTube now! Also make sure to follow our socials for more updates!

Strap in for our review of Donda, Senjutsu, and other shenanigans on this episode of Island Gems!

We finally answer the age old question: Are we both dumbasses? Raul and Jay go head to head to determine who is the smarter co-host. With $5 dollars on the line, who will come out on top? Find us on instagram!

We talk about my recent trip to Texas, Too Hot to Handle, and Raul finally watched Berserk. Come join us for another fun time and leave a comment down below if you have any suggestions on what we can do next.

So here is another episode where we play a few clips. You can check those out on Youtube. Regardless, I go on a 30 minute rant on why I think shows I've never seen are fascist and bad, probably sounding like an idiot, and Raul then says he doesnt like Evangelion which is even more wack. We also talk about Castlevania with our friend Colonel.  We are sorry this episode is so late. We'll try and get em out once a month, every 14th from now on.  Cheers - Jay

We discuss the events that happened in La Perla a few weeks ago and the growing tourism problem in Puerto Rico then have a chat with Meikitamo about the critically acclaimed manga Berserk and its themes.

We talk a LOT about food this episode. From restaurant woes to a little Brazilian fruit that doesn't seem real. Also, this is the first official SOBER EPISODE. DO NOT ENJOY THIS EPISODE WITH ALCOHOL. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.  Credit to the magnificent @Lexiness_K for the beautiful artwork.

Daft Punk was a very influential part of our lives growing up, so we reminisce and talk about musical influences. Also, this is the second episode but it's labeled 3; don't ask.

HEYYOOO. We are finally releasing a project we have been working on for a bit ON SPOTIFY. This, along with the next episode frankly, was something we recorded and held on to for a while as we got the logistics down. But it is something we truly, truly loved to make; that we hope you love.  Who are we? Just two Puerto Rican best friends who haven't seen each other in way too long. But I don't want to spoil the podcast.   We'll be doing this AT LEAST once a month. Our goal is two episodes a month but we'll see.    We got a twitter!
