Sergio, is this thing on?
Phone says it's recording.
Okay, awesome. Hey everyone, it's Ronnie Anne Santiago.
- Don't forget me! - And Sergio Casagrande.
Recording live from our bedroom in Great Lake City.
And this is the first official Casagrande podcast episode about...
Sergio, why are we doing a podcast again?
Everyone's got one.
I guess that's true. Lincoln and his sisters have one.
Even Sancho.
[cooing]
A pigeon has his own podcast?
Yup, he won an award for it. Now we gotta win one.
Let's do it then. By the way, since when do you have a phone?
[squawking]
Just joined the family plan.
[knocking]
Hey Bobby, what's up?
Hey, has anyone seen my phone?
I can't find it anywhere.
Whoa, Sergio cool new phone. It looks just like mine.
[squawking]
Uh, it's not.
Wait a second.
That's right. I must have left it in the mercado.
Bye guys.
You stole his phone, didn't you?
I'll give it back after we're done, promise.
Hm, works for me.
Okay, so this is my first official podcast.
And I guess I should explain that this is gonna be
all about what it's like living in the big city in a big, crazy apartment building
with all my family members and all the awesome neighbors.
[knocking]
Speaking of awesome neighbors,
here's my new best friend, Sid Chang!
You're just in time, Sid. Sergio and I are starting a podcast.
Oh, I love podcasts!
Hey everyone, Sid here, and here's a candy bar wrapper I just found in my pocket.
[crinkling]
Uh Sid, why are you whispering?
It's called ASMR.
Short for autonomous sensory meridian response.
All the cool podcasts are doing it.
Whispering creates a gentle and relaxing sensation
that's supposed to turn your brain into a puddle of bliss.
[squawking]
More like a puddle of boring.
Be nice, Sergio.
Anyway, Sid, you want to help us with the podcast?
More than anything!
I also want you to hear the sound of me spinning this quarter.
[quarter spinning]
It's mine now.
My quarter!
All right you two, let's get this show on the road.
Listeners, we're now heading into the living room
to meet the rest of my familia.
[barking and licking]
Hey Lalo. Meet our new listeners!
Lalo, watch the phone.
Getting a little drooly there, pal.
[barking and laughing]
[sniffing]
Whoa, what is that amazing smell?
That's my abuela cooking breakfast.
- Hey, Abuela! - Oye, mija.
Grab those ingredients and you and Sid can help me make chilaquiles for breakfast!
We would Abuela but, we're recording a podcast right now.
Do you want to eat, or not?
I guess we're helping.
I'll crack some eggs.
Mija, start chopping the onions and garlic,
and scramble the eggs, and don't forget the salsa.
Whoops! Dropped the phone in the salsa.
Lalo!
[squawking]
Phone's all clean.
Thanks Lalo.
And now mija, it's time to cook everything.
That smells so good!
This is a podcast, not a nosecast!
Right. Oh, hey Abuelo! Practicing with your band I see?
In the kitchen?
That's right, mija!
♪ Ay, ay, ay, ay ♪
♪ We are so hungry ♪
♪ We want to take just a little bite ♪
Ow! Rosa, why'd you hit me with your chancla?
Chancla means sandal.
I just wanted one little taste, Rosa.
Tu comida es tan deliciosa!
You'll eat when it's ready!
Okay, how about we go check out the rest of the building?
[squawking]
Read my mind.
Great idea Ronnie Anne.
Bye, My. and Mrs. Casagrande!
Qué? What'd she say?
I don't know why, but my brain feels very relaxed.
Okay, so we're heading across the hallway to say hi to the rest of my family.
And you never know who you'll run into.
- Hey girls! - Hey Mr. Nakamura!
FYI, one of our neighbors.
Hey, Nelson!
Mr. Nakamura's dog.
See? Even just going across the hall you run into people.
[squawking]
Or bouncing balls!
Heads up!
[shattering]
Hey, Mrs. Kernicky!
- How's racquetball practice going? - Great. Anyone want to take me on?
- I'm down. - Okay.
Here's another racquet. Kernicky kick-serve coming at you!
[groaning]
Nice return, Ronnie Anne!
[squawking]
Hit it like you mean it!
You asked for it!
[groaning]
Sergio, look out!
[squawking]
Gross.
Now that's what I call eating rubber!
How about a rematch?
Maybe after we're done recording our podcast.
Sounds good. Kernicky out!
[laughing]
Guys, I still can't find my phone.
And Lori and I are supposed to have our morning phone call any second.
[ringing]
Wait, Sergio, why is Lori calling your phone?
- Um... - Is that my--
Incoming racquetball!
Ow! Ow, ow.
Sorry Bobby. Come on Kernicky, get your head in the game.
Well, Bobby got his head in the game!
Be nice, Sergio. Bobby, are you okay?
Looks like you got hit right between the eyes.
Hi, I'm Bobby!
Yeah, I know, but, are you okay?
I'm Bobby!
Okay Bobby, you go back home and put some ice on your head,
and we'll continue with our podcast.
Bye, I'm Bobby.
Come on guys. Let's get inside my Tia Frida and Tio Carlos' apartment
before we get hit.
Hey girls. Good morning.
Hey, Tio Carlos, wanna be on our podcast?
Do I ever? Did you know that the podcast was originally called audioblogging?
And it has its roots dating back to the 1980s.
Fascinating, right?
[crickets chirping]
Oh, I'm also studying crickets.
That's, uh, so cool.
But this isn't really about the history of podcasts.
Uh, what about crickets?
No, it's more about living with my big family.
Oh, neat-o.
Wait, you're doing a podcast about your familia?
Hi, Tia Frida!
That's right. You and Tio Carlos, abuela, abuelo, my cousins, my mom, Bobby--
[squawking]
What am I? Chopped Chorizo?
And Sergio.
Tia Frida, are you okay?
[crying]
That's just so beautiful!
[crying]
Carlotta, did you hear what your prima Ronnie Anne is doing?
Yeah mom, I heard. B-T-dubs,
if you need me to promote the podcast on my lifestyle vlog, just let me know.
I've got over 50,000 followers: All real people, no bots!
Thanks Carlotta. Um, where's Carl and CJ?
I want them to be on the podcast too.
Did someone say it's time for lucha libre?
Uh, no. I said it's time for a podcast.
I thought so. Here prima, you and Sid put these capes and boots on.
And I'll take that.
Hey, give me the phone back!
Is this thing on?
Ladies and gentlemen.
Get ready for the lucha libre match of the century!
In the red corner is the terrifying duo: Carl - The Annihilator!
And his partner CJ - The Destroyer!
Carl, give it back, or I'll tell everyone about your choo-choo-chonies!
[laughing]
Carl wears choo-choo-chonies!
I'm proud of my chonies!
And if you want the phone back so bad, come into the ring and get it from me!
I'll be the ref.
Challenge accepted.
Get ready to meet Ronnie Anne - The Pulverizer.
And Sid! - The Whisperer!
- What? - The whisperer!
No low blows, and watch the face!
[all yelling]
And watch the phone!
[all yelling]
Body slam!
La balanza!
El canonaso!
[yelling]
The canonball shot!
Help, Destroyer!
I can't, they got me pinned too!
Going down for the count.
Let's finish this Ronnie Anne!
One, two...
[music playing]
Why's the mariachi band here?
♪ Ay, ay, ay, ay ♪
♪ It's time for breakfast ♪
Oh great. I'm famished.
Mm, smells like chilaquiles!
Come on guys, stop wrestling. Let's go eat!
[laughing]
Match over. I guess we'll never know who would've won.
You know you were gonna lose!
Seemed pretty close to me.
Incoming!
You know, racquetball was invented by Joe Sobek
in Greenwich, Connecticut, in the 1940s.
- Come on Dad, I'm starving. - Oh...
Aye, familia! Come, sit, sit!
Rosa, mi amor. These chilaquiles were worth the wait!
Thank you, Hector.
So yummy.
Aw, these family breakfasts always make me so happy!
[crying]
Mija, you're getting your tears in the food!
Hey everyone, did I miss breakfast?
Mom, you're just in time! How was your shift at the hospital last night?
Gnarly! I had a late night wart removal surgery.
You should have seen how big this thing was.
And when we popped it...
I think I'm gonna be sick!
You puked all over Bobby's phone.
[gasping]
My phone.
Oh, thank goodness!
Well Sergio, I guess it's the end of our first episode!
We might have to find someone else's phone.
It's a big family!
Oh man. So many missed calls and texts from Lori.
[phone dialing]
Hey babe, it's Bobby boo-boo-bear.
I'm so sorry I'm late for our call.
No, no the battery's at one percent!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
