About this listen

Broadcasting from the fiesta-friendly confines of Dos Amores in Hurst, Texas, Dennis and Stephanie take insurance out of the cubicle and into the cantina. With restaurant manager Jesús popping in between karaoke nights and Tejano Saturdays, this live episode leans into real questions from real people—why your premium jumped when you did nothing, whether bundling is a BOGO or a bozo move, and how a broke 21-year-old is supposed to insure anything except their anxiety.


Come for the consumer-first straight talk; stay for the lovingly sarcastic therapy session on health insurance, the myth of “it gets cheaper at 25,” and the eternal truth of the industry: it depends. Agents vs. algorithms, homeowners’ sticker shock, deductible hacks—Dennis and Stephanie cut through the jargon with jokes, receipts, and just enough cynicism to keep it honest. BYO queso.
