After a 3 month hiatus, Jason and Irvin are back to deliver Season 2 of the critically acclaimed "Us Against The World" podcast!! Critics only include both Jason and Irvin's moms plus the old man working at their local "Panda Express" !!

For our season 2 opener we have Fearhall, founder of the "GET SOME SLEEP" brand. We dive in deep into how Fearhall started his brand while working at a job he really hated, the obstacles he faced in the beginning of the brand's journey, how his parents felt about him entering a field they were complete strangers too, the role his family and friends partook, the art of getting whipped as kids (ouch) , and much much more!

What's this?! For a third week in a row, Jason and Irvin deliver a new episode !? Hopefully this doesn't jinx it!

Today we have Adrian de la Riva, a Santa Ana OC native. He’s a fellow UCI Graduate, who majored in criminology and social ecology.

An advocate for the youth, Adrian is currently a youth partner at a "Wraparound" program.

From how it was like growing up in Santa Ana, to what triggered his decision to stop hanging out with the wrong crowd, this episode is a classic tale of a First Generation Latino trying to find a purpose in life amidst a new country one has to now call "home".
