We’re Back! with ManOne and Scott Power

Gringo and the Man is back! After a crazy year, your favorite Mexican (who is also part Spanish and part Italian!) and favorite Gringo are back together for a conversation as candid as ever. We couldn't be more excited to be reunited and to be sharing our musings with the rest of you. We can't really tell you what this episode is about because it's about anything and everything, ranging from our thoughts on the pervasiveness of gaming and the struggles of hiring people to the difference between Gringo privilege and white privilege, ManOne's toy collections, and even what it means to be "six-packed." What we can tell you is that you're guaranteed a lot of laughs, a sprinkling of sentimentality, and even a little bit of wisdom!

About the Podcast

Gringo and The Man
Welcome to Gringo & The Man, the only podcast where a middle-aged white dude and an O.G. Latino graffiti artist talk about living in a world gone loco! Hosts Gringo (aka Scott “Sourdough” Power ) & The Man (aka Man One), GenXers from Chicago and L.A. respectively, bring their devil-may-care attitude to discussing contemporary culture. Nothing is off-limits. Long time friends, Sourdough and Man One’s banter is what you'd expect from two dudes who grew up in the eighties. (Warning: this podcast may be inappropriate for those easily triggered.)
