We’re really excited about the opportunity to invite you all into our conversations and smack talking. This podcast is all about getting to know us beyond the surface and doing a deeper dive into the lives of the Lone Lobos.

Maridueña and Bertrand also provided a synopsis of the upcoming podcast on its iHeartRadio page.

The Cobra Kai duo will navigate adulthood through all things pop culture with topics ranging from movies and television, to food, music and relationships.

Maridueña & Bertrand Spoke About Working Alongside Their ‘Cobra Kai’ Co-Stars in August 2021

During an August 2021 live stream, alongside their “Cobra Kai” co-stars William “Billy” Zabka and Peyton List, Maridueña and Bertrand answered a fan question which read “what’s the best part about working” with the show’s cast. Maridueña revealed he enjoys that he typically films with only a handful of his co-stars, as “Cobra Kai” has an ensemble cast. He explained because he is not involved with many scenes, “seeing it all come together at the end, it’s almost like watching the show for the first time.” 

Bertrand also shared that he usually does not have scenes with quite a few of his castmates. 

“We don’t always get to film with everyone, you know, I rarely get to film with Mary [Mouser] or Tanner [Buchanan] or Peyton sometimes and I like that we hang out a lot off set and that we’re all really tight even when we’re not filming,” said the 21-year-old actor.
