July 24, 2020 07:00 - 1 hour - 50.4 MB

Welcoming my guest for this episode, my old roommate and friend, Smalls! Aka Salomon, but no body really calls him that. For this episode, we really let ourselves ramble and catch up. It's been quite a while since we caught up with each other, so naturally there would be a lot to talk about. Especially given the state of everything humanity is in. COVID, Quarantine, all the nation's events, and just life's events. Take a listen into this week's Mindless Outlet. Go follow my Smalls: IG @sa...

Episode 38: Coronavirus, Sleep Paralysis, and Creative Outlets (ft. Daniel and Adrianna)

March 13, 2020 11:00 - 1 hour - 48.9 MB

I'm super stoked to share this episode with you all! Its a fairly special episode because it features my two (out of three) siblings, Daniel and Adrianna! ... Sorry John, we'll get you on a future episode with all of us... hopefully soon I've been wanting to get my siblings involved with a podcast conversation because I felt it would produce a very entertaining conversation. Needless to say, I don't think we failed. We grew up together (obviously) so we share a lot of humor and mindsets al...

Welcoming in an old friend and long time old guest (and my roommate) Salomon Velasquez!

Anyways ENJOY! Go follow my Smalls: IG @salomon_velasquez And go follow me here! Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/JJBuenviaje Instagram: @JayOfTheJay Twitter: @JayOfTheJay

Episode 36: Motivation - Don't Call it a Comeback

October 18, 2019 11:00 - 55 minutes - 38 MB

That's right everyone. I'm back! you favorite podcaster of all time. Giving you your morning dosage of "ear coffee" *face palms*. I've been away for quite awhile. Almost too long. Enough to the point where you're wondering - "Who the hell is this guy? And what the hell is The Brunch Box?" But regardless here I am, with another episode that's long overdue. I touch on the stuff that has happened in the past 3-4 month podcast hiatus and what I realized during those 3-4 months. -It's key to ke...

Episode 35: F*ck Driving (ft. Kyle)

July 05, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 47.7 MB

In this episode, which was originally intended to be about general transportation, we decided to go off and rant about driving pet peeves. See, Kyle and myself, being in SoCal (Southern California for those of you who don't know) are exposed to a vast number of terrible/frustrating drivers on the road. -And we probably got lumped in occasionally with those as well... But we build up all this anger and frustration from a plethora of these experiences and encounters with these drivers. So wha...

Episode 34: Concerts vs. Music Festivals (ft. Nikk)

May 18, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 28.7 MB

In this episode we debate if concerts or music festivals are better than the other. However, as much as I'd like to say that Nikk and I stayed on topic throughout this episode, we really didn't... Our short attentions spans seemed to get the best of us and we started talking about random things. Us in the business like to call this phenomenon "shooting from the hip" which we pretty much did. Either way, as always, this was still an entertaining podcast to record and listen back to. Hope y'a...

Episode 33: Long Overdue Talk - Inside My Mind (sorta)

May 03, 2019 07:00 - 55 minutes - 25.3 MB

Oh jeez, this is so long overdue... It's been quite sometime since I've put an episode out there. So here you have it! I felt like it was suitable to make a come back with a 1-on-1 talk. In this episode, I vent and ramble about stress and (maybe) anxiety. Basically, I talk about how I feel like my mind never calms down even when I try to make it calm down. Maybe it's because I'm a workaholic, maybe I have some other underlying mental related issue, maybe it's something completely different...

Episode 30: Workers at the Workplace Working (ft. Kyle)

February 01, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 36 MB

We're at 30 episodes now babyyyyyyyy! Alright, so my guest Kyle is coming in hot with this one. In this episode we discuss THE Workplace. Careers. Work. Anything Job related. A couple things have been on the mind in regards to it all. Along with some genuine questions. It's hard to sum it all up in one description on here for this one. Also.. I'm slightly intoxicated while typing this so I'm just lazy.. Just listen to it. Sometimes, you need to just chat about it. Follow my Kyle: IG M...

Episode 29: The "Rawr xD" Episode (ft. Renzo)

January 11, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 34.6 MB

"It's not a phase mom, it's a lifestyle". Ahhh, the dreaded emo phase.. Few of us were fortunate to not experience that, BUT the rest of us weren't so lucky. People like myself and my cousin Renzo - in our teenage angst - took to the skinny jeans, band t-shirts, and straightened hair lifestyle. It's safe to say that our emo phase lasted a hell of a lot longer than it should've. Going for nearly 3 or 4 years, we stuck strong to the lifestyle. We kept with the culture. We marched with the Bl...

Episode 28: How You've Changed (ft. Nikk and Smalls)

January 05, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 28.9 MB

Happy New Year y'all! And what a year it's been. In the past year, I've started a podcast, switched visions for my Youtube channel, and overall I think I've figured out who I am as a person. In this episode, we discuss a few things, but mainly center on the topic of change. As you can see (or hear), everyone goes through some big change in their life. Even within a year, some rather large changes can occur. This is a rather more serious and unorganized episode, but who cares right? You go...

Episode 27: Answering Your Questions (ft. Smalls)

December 22, 2018 22:00 - 56 minutes - 25.7 MB

For this episode of the podcast, I asked you listeners to send in questions for me to answer. Needless to say, some questions got out of hand. Most of them being from close friends. But it still made for an overall entertaining podcast episode to listen to! A couple things to note 1) I need more listeners for questions.. 2) I need to filter some of these questions because damn... haha. Y'all have some imaginations lemme tell you. Maybe I'll do this again sometime. Who knows? Anyways, hope ...

Episode 26: If You Were a Kid Again (ft. Brian and Kyle)

December 14, 2018 08:00 - 43 minutes - 20.1 MB

Boom! After a long hiatus, I present to you the 26th episode of the podcast. Much overdue. As mentioned this is informally the year long episode that should've been released like 3 weeks ago (shhhhh!). After doing this for a year, I think I'm maybe sorta kinda getting the hang of it all..? If the title doesn't confuse you, then the podcast content will confuse you for sure. On this episode we talk a lot about different things, but the main center topic being "If you went back into you kid b...

Episode 25: Rapid Fire Questions (ft. Kevin, Smalls, and Kyle)

November 16, 2018 08:00 - 1 hour - 35.8 MB

Pretty much what the title tells ya. We got some (random) questions that we feel need to have answers for the public to hear. These are some important questions for sure, stuff that you'd definitely learn and gain some wisdom by just listening to this episode. In addition to becoming the smartest person on the block after listening to this episode, you'll also probably learn about us just by how we respond to these questions. With our very special new guest, Kevin! And two not so special re...

Episode 24: Interesting Experiences from Traveling (ft. Renzo)

November 09, 2018 08:00 - 1 hour - 34 MB

I'm back! For those of you who aren't familiar with recent events, I just got back from a trip to Europe. More specifically, Italy and Switzerland. This was pretty much the reason why I missed the past two (okay, maybe three) uploads for the week. But honestly, it was all needed in order to prepare for my trip. In this podcast, I sit down with my cousin Renzo to talk about traveling. Pretty much my recent trip to experiences during my stay in Europe and other travel experiences/destinations...

Episode 23: The Good Ol' Days (ft. Brian, Rito, and Kyle)

October 13, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 28.9 MB

It's rare that I ever get all these guys in a room and record a podcast. Minus Kyle, we go waaaaaaay back. Like 7th grade through high school through college through now back. Kyle is an addition, but we feel like we've known him for that long so by default he's allowed to be on this episode. In this episode we all reminisce on who we were back in high school and college and compare it to who we are now. Definitely there are some cringey stories worth listening to. But overall, it's hard to...

Episode 22: Games That (Potentially) Destroy Friendships (ft. Board Game Squad)

September 27, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 32.4 MB

This is the podcast episode that talks about why you want to punch Grandma when she doubles down in Monopoly... Do you ever get too involved or invested into a game that was intended to be harmless to the point of destroying friendships? Have you ever gone full willy nilly when some one goes and plays a killer hand in a game? Yeah, I dunno bout that last one, but I've definitely had experiences where my anger has boiled a tad from losing in a game. In this episode my friends and I talk abou...

Episode 21: Live For Yourself (ft. Grant)

September 14, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 28.5 MB

In this episode of the podcast, my guest Grant and I discuss a very common trait amongst many people. It's more of a serious-ish episode meant to explore the phenomenon and is meant to hopefully provide some clarity for those who are struggling with the same situation. Now, we're not saying we have all the answers, nor are we attempting to speak from a "high horse" we're just simply stating things that we have learned from. Realizing that you can't live your life in front of an audience is t...

Episode 20: Dwelling in the Past and Being in the Present

September 08, 2018 07:00 - 49 minutes - 22.6 MB

Everyone, it's the 20th EPISOOOOODDDEEE!!!!!!! Yooo, that's crazy that I've been doing this for 20 episodes already. I honestly, thought I would've stopped like... 20 episodes ago. However, here I am still doing my thing! On this episode I start off by giving a little something something in regards to the podcast. Pretty much how it's sort of changed in my perspective and what I plan on doing. BUT I progress into a little deeper topic regarding my mind. I have this tendency to go back into m...

Episode 19: Three Single Men in a Booth (ft. Kyle and Smalls)

August 31, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 34.2 MB

By the title of this episode you're probably asking yourself, "what the hell is this?" Well in all honesty, we jumped around on this episode talking about on different things. There was almost a centralized topic however, and that was the topic of relationships. Yeup. Three single, testosterone filled men discuss their perspective on relationships and a very peculiar pet peeve. Joined by my two dopest dope guests Salomon (Smalls) and Kyle! Just listen to the podcast and be entertained, there...

Episode 18: Dark Tourism (ft. Kyle)

August 25, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 38.2 MB

Majority of people typically choose to travel in order to visit "touristy" spots. Touristy implies that the destinations, spots, or attractions have a rather pleasing appeal to visitors. BUT that's not what dark tourism does. Dark tourism (the topic discussed in this episode) does almost the exact opposite of what most people would choose to do. Almost a counter-intuitive move so to speak for traveling. Without describing too much about the topic, dark tourism (in a nutshell) exploits areas ...

Episode 17: A Rough Day

August 17, 2018 07:00 - 43 minutes - 20 MB

Hello mah Brunch Box peeps. This episode is a little bit more negative compared to the others. It's more or less an episode in which I vent. Honestly, I laughed listening back to it just because you can slightly hear my frustration with the situation haha. Have you ever had a rough day? Or in this case a series of rough days? Not necessarily terrible, but at the same time it was enough frustration to stack and build up inside. That's pretty much the scenario that I break down in the next 45 ...

Episode 16: How I Ate Sh*t on a Longboard

August 03, 2018 07:00 - 40 minutes - 18.6 MB

Been a while since I've talked just one on one. As mentioned in the episode, I'm trying to make the podcasts where it's just myself a little more condensed and comprised of different topics that are on my mind. I'm beginning to think that maybe doing like a sort of "story time" thing with these podcasts will be a good move. Who knows? Either way, I talk about a few topics and then lead into how I ate it hard on my board back in high school. Enjoy!! As always you can find me here: Youtube: w...

Episode 15: Social Media, Stupid Drivers, and Winning the Lottery ft. Nikk

July 27, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 29.1 MB

Okay so, to be honest, I can't remember exactly what we talked about on this episode. I remember touching on social media (Instagram to be exact), stupid drivers, and winning the lottery. Overall, I don't remember the details discussed in the podcast. It was more so a "shoot the sh*t" episode anyways, but regardless IT IS STILL ENTERTAINING, SO LISTEN TO IT... Nikk and I have this weird dynamic where we can just go on huge tangents joking around and shit. As always you can find Nikk on IG ...

Episode 14: Tattoo Talk Time (ft. Nikk)

July 10, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 32.7 MB

Check that alliteration in that title though.. Anyways, what spawned this entire episode was my 2nd tattoo that I received about 2 weeks prior to recording this episode. I've always had a slight fascination with tattoos and their portrayal/representation in the media. My friend Nikk (featured in this episode) also shares similar views in regards to tattoos and their place in society. Now obviously we're not experts in the field nor do we have enough to where we can brag about the amount of ta...

Episode 13: Treating Friendships (ft. Fabian and Smalls)

July 04, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 30.9 MB

Alright, so I'm actually kind of nervous to post this, mainly because we dive into some heavy-ish stuff here, especially regarding our experiences with friends and relationships in general. We kind of try to understand the mentality to bad (and good) relationships and how we have handled both. I think overall, we kind of have mixed views in which I will admit I contradicted myself on certain aspects. Not sure I was able to communicate everything correctly. But oh well, here's us being vulnera...

Episode 12: Saving Dogs' Lives (ft. Smalls)

June 22, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 30.6 MB

Alright, so I know I said that I was going to have an intro song, but like most things, good intros take time. So that'll come later... as well as the promised youtube video LOL. Anyways, in this episode we talk about how freaking awesome dogs are and how they are the perfect compliment to us humans. Beta fish are dope too.

Episode 11: The Beauty of Music (ft. Bryan Suarez)

June 15, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour - 31.1 MB

On this episode I talk with a great friend of mine about his perspective on music and producing. As a DJ and producer himself, Bryan Suarez has a high affinity for music in general. He has a wide horizon of music genres that he enjoys and listens to on the daily. Starting from a young age he was banging pots & pans to make what some would call noise and others would call music. Anyways, I don't want to ruin the episode for you all, so please enjoy! Go follow Bryan Suarez and be on the look ...

May 25, 2018 07:00 - 59 minutes - 27.6 MB

We talk about the mental shift that both Ryan and I experienced when we entered the work environment. We delve into our past experiences concerning high school and college and build up into what we experience now. Personally, I believe this is one of the more insightful and entertaining podcast so far. So, please enjoy the episode!

Okay, first off, I didn't really listen back to the track until just uploading it. SO, sorry for the audio and if I blew your eardrums out with this episode. Needless to say, I'm going to try and keep the guest count to 3 or less next time. On this episode we delve a little bit into a hobby of mine, powerlifting. I'm joined by some good friends from the gym with some experience in the sport. In all honesty, we're just some guys with the some experience in powerlifting who just so happened to...
