Magnu5 (pronounced Magnus) is a North Side Corpus Christi rapper, beat maker, and co-host of the Marauders Podcast who has been putting in work since high school — freestyling at lunch tables, selling CDs downtown for ten bucks, riding with DSR, and learning to make his own beats from a local producer who had placements with 50 Cent.

In this episode of the Corpus Christi Originals Podcast, recorded at Lucy's Snack Bar, we chop it up about coming up on the North Side, what the Corpus Christi hip-hop scene actually sounds like now, why he never wanted to be a "Mexican rapper" — just a rapper, how losing his main beat source forced him to level up his craft, the music industry's microwave era, and what it really takes to stay creative when you're also working a 9-to-5 and raising a family.

We also get into the Marauders Podcast, his X-Men obsession, working with El Dusty, and why the best advice he has for any local creator is the same thing that's kept him going: don't stop.

Daryl Felsberg is a professional comedian, producer, and comedy club owner from Corpus Christi, Texas who's been doing standup since 2001 and full-time since 2008. He's shot four specials, toured the country, headlined the Selena Auditorium, survived a TIA stroke, and is currently putting fake antique photos of himself inside Cracker Barrel restaurants across the country.

In this episode of the Corpus Christi Originals Podcast, we go deep on the craft of standup comedy — what it takes to actually be ready for the stage, why crowd work is the most misunderstood skill in the game, how social media influencers are reshaping the comedy industry, and why the audience doesn't hear what you say — they feel it.

Daryl also gets into growing up around Collier Park, how comedy changed after COVID, the lesson that sent him back to observation mode, writing evergreen material that nobody can steal, and the Cracker Barrel bit that has restaurant management in multiple states on alert.

If you want to understand what a real career in standup comedy looks like — the long game, the wisdom, and the hustle — this one is it.

Brandon — better known as Texas Gulf Fish Hunter — moved to Corpus Christi from the mountains of Appalachia and never looked back. Now he's one of the most recognizable fishing content creators on TikTok, going live from the Texas coast and sharing the kind of knowledge most fishermen keep to themselves: where the fish are, why they're there, and how to put yourself in the best position to catch them.

In this episode of the Corpus Christi Originals Podcast, we talk about how a random TikTok live turned into a massive fishing community, the science behind reading the water (barometric pressure, moon phases, water temp, and more), why he gives away information other people guard like a secret, his leaders at RNG Bait in Flower Bluff, the drone fishing ban, the desalination plant debate, and what it actually takes to catch fish consistently on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Plus rapid fire: live bait vs. artificials, best post-fishing burger in Corpus, and the best time of year to fish the coast.
