Once you understand Chile’s relationship with magic, you’ll understand why your expectations of this Latin American country came crashing down so spectacularly.

But hey, today, three years later, you too have the chance to learn a little more about some of Chile’s countless myths and legends.

In this episode, I’m sharing 13 of the most common superstitions we have in Chile. If you’re thinking about black cats, avoiding travel on Friday the 13th, or not getting married on that day… forget it.

That’s not where we’re going with this.

I went out of my way to ask family and friends about their superstitions, and the funniest part?

Not a single person admitted to being superstitious. Either because they genuinely believe in their little rituals or… because those beliefs are so deeply ingrained that they don’t even recognize them as superstitions.

Plus, I’m sharing a terrible, downright humiliating story I witnessed that has everything to do with this topic. (Not recommended for anyone under 18.)

You can listen to my ep about the Tue Tue right here.

Hey, this is one of the many exclusive episodes my Patreon supporters get access to.

It’s October, bb, so it’s time to dust off your Halloween vocabulary.

Or your everyday vocabulary… because life is pretty damn scary, too.

Anyway.

This is part two, where I tell you about the misadventures of a drunk guy who tried to flirt and play the tough guy at the same time—and ended up under the tables after a brawl worthy of a drunken Chilean.

The True Story of El Guatón Loyola.

I tell you the story, break down the song, and—with the help of my American friend Leilah Smith, who lent the episode her beautiful voice—bring you the song translated into English.

Grab a pen and some paper because this episode is more like a class, and you'll probably want to take a few notes.

This episode is the first of two parts where I tell you what the expression "dárselas de encachao" means. Technically, it's a verbal expression, but let's not get fome.

And why it matters if you want to sound good — or encachao — in Chilean Spanish. Also because it's at the core of one of the most popular songs you'll hear during Fiestas Patrias, back home in Chilito:

 La cueca del Guatón Loyola.
