Say what you want about Oscar but he is a true LA Story of a poor latin kid form the hood making it to the top and being one of the best boxers. Respect for Oscar.

[@MERZz_CoD]

he started a high school and provided me with a after school program

[@elevenbravo584]

He started the school before anybody else did.He had boxing gyms and help the kids without charging them. And let’s not forget about White Memorial Hospital cancer wing that he donated because of his mom. People from Los Angeles know that this man has been doing a lot for the neighborhood from day one.

[@sunnyside9273]

Dope ass sit down ! There was a spell when "Champ" fought every top contender, that is not recognized enough. De La Hoya was great for the sport of boxing, whether you pulled for him or against him. It gave us all very memorable moments. La Ciudad is proud !

[@fasteddie9055]

I'm Boricua born in NYC. . I really can relate to the Chicanos in general. I have carnales in Salinas and Sacra. We studied law at Santa Clara during the early 80s. When I used to get drunk , I had a pretty convincing Chicano accent back in the day. I was watching this podcast and I felt right at home , especially with the ''parachute'' jokes. I'm an Air Force Vietnam vet and I had exposures to the Chicano community since I was 17 yrs old. ORALE GUEY NO MAMES !!!!! hahahahaha !!!!

[@Crimson28]

29:40 Gil and Oscar are great dads for doing that. Every kid needs to hear their dad say “I love you.” 34:20 Gil’s wheezing laugh kills me 😂 44:21 🤣🤣 “7th place”

That's why he's so skinny. He lost ten pounds or so. I lost 7 lbs when sick

i love how oscar is straight up rasa!! he sound like me when he talk haha he straight from l.a foo lol

[@altardelcielo6554]

Oscar contracting Covid reminds that we are all mortal and subject to challenges in our lives.... The personal life experiences shared here are not mortal but live on, and despite the childhood trauma, this pent up energy helped him to press on... such as when he faced “Germany” again and won. Get well champ 🙏🏼

[@youngpullup6797]

He did that just to get out of the fight with Victor Belfort he is a coward liar

[@ed-roc2054]

@@youngpullup6797 he probably wanted to be able to see how his opponent would do in the fight. Then train how he thinks would help him win.

[@rickycouture7224]

This has easily become one of my absolute favorite podcasts! While there are still other podcasts hosted by comedians that I enjoy, the podcast landscape itself has become this desert of shallow, meaningless conversation where you're just hearing a group of way-too-grown men BS for two straight hours. With George it's the exact opposite. He never shies away from taking the conversation to deep or emotional places, which leads to some of the most genuinely inspiring stories. And yet his natural comedic brilliance keeps it from ever feeling so heavy that you can't still laugh. It's just never at the expense of the guest or their story, which for me -- and I can't pretend to speak for anyone else -- is very highly appreciated.

[@calres8626]

In a nut shell, for the most part your speaking of the Mexican culture. I’m sure it’s true for other cultures but can only speak on what I know. Mexicans have a way of bringing light to a dark situation and making it funny. It’s almost like your family from a young age is building character. Your name can be David and one day get hit by a car and have a limp-now you’re name is Tiny Tim. You’re a kid with Tourettes who may blink a lot and now you’re Blinky 😂. Mexicans never seem to shy away from the obvious and still have compassion but always take it in stride. I really appreciate the Podcast because of that as well. No matter how dark or emotional it may be there is always a humor/light at the end of the tunnel.

[@benjiletua136]

It’s dope to see Oscar be so honest these days. Big fan

[@mrgambit623]

George, Oscar and Gil. Should be a good one. Get well soon Champ!

[@jessnevares7861]

Funny Oscar talks about his dad not able to show emotion. Something as simple to say I love you. My mom , also born and raised in Durango like Oscar’s family, could not say “ I love you”. As i got older , and asked her about her life growing up , you learn that she is a product of her upbringing. Her mom and dad were not affectionate. She never had that and was hard for her to show something that she herself never received. A lot of Mexican families have dealt with this problem.
