Chris! Thx for having us lay some tracks down for this cool shorty. Vamos!

[@chrisestradacomedy]

@@losyesterdays Thanks y’all! It was an honor to have Gabe compose music for the short and to let us close out the short film with my favorite Los Yesterday’s song.

[@cacadeperro]

I introduced your music to my girl and didnt tell her who it was..she thought I was playing oldies and clasicas!! But she though they were a bit CLEANER! Hopefully I get to see you guys play soon!

@JROD659 they already canceled it. They said something along the lines of. The show doesn't reach a wide enough audience. Which is kinda true. Cause I'm exactly their demographic and I think it's hilarious but my gf that's white doesn't get those hidden gems. I'm but super sad about it

[@jessenewton8568]

i really wonder if theres another outlet that this fool could live through… i wonder if youtube would make enough money by itself and just have people pay to see the series like a subscription its really my fav show. i dont believe that for one second this didnt reach a wide enough audience it was a perfect balance of everything

[@ATARIEone]

Idk bro cause hulu might own the rights to those characters :/ but i would love a "new" show with same actors just diff names ;)

[@jcarlosmedina3023]

This foo is the best show I've seen

[@mrbiggles92]

Chris, we need a "Chris signs up for cholo-fit with creeper" video. You can Frankie would mesh well together.
