When Tex Lafon and D Vaz first met at a busy Arizona retail store, little did we know that our unique blend of cultural backgrounds and love of basketball would lead us here—to our very own podcast! In our inaugural episode, we peel back the curtain on who we are: D Vaz, a Mexican-American maven of melody from Arizona, and Tex, the basketball-loving Texan who's planted roots in the Grand Canyon State. We share anecdotes from our history, illustrating how two seemingly different paths converged into a friendship that's as rich and layered as a good salsa.
Now, imagine the roar of an Arizona crowd and the shared groan of defeat we know all too well, and you'll be right in the middle of our riotous sports discussions. Our banter packs a punch as strong as a linebacker's tackle, but it's all in brotherly love. You'll be in stitches as we recount how I once moonlighted as Tex's wife's date to keep their budding romance under wraps—a tale that's equal parts bold and belly-laugh inducing. From the court to the culinary arts, our lively exchange serves up a dish of humor, affection, and a deep appreciation for each other's quirks.
Are you ready for a Vegas escapade that's as colorful as the city itself? Join us as we reminisce on a trip that had us duping our pals with a "tattoo" and sipping heading down the Strip. Yet, it's not all glitz and neon; we also explore the sobering shifts that fatherhood brings to such outings. Whether it's our uproarious adventures or the tender, sometimes bewildering, moments of raising children, this podcast promises stories and insights that will resonate with anyone who's navigated the unpredictable waters of friendship and family.
