Welcome to Audio meal.
00:17
I'm your host Ana Barraza,
00:18

00:23
Mysterio, the Alejandro Velasco.
00:26
Please help me welcome Diego Boneta.
00:33
Right now I want you to summarize your audiobook in 15 seconds
00:37
A murder mystery sexual thriller set in San Miguel de Allende
00:42
story of Julian who comes to a family saying he's someone
00:46
that he's not. Oh wow.
00:48
OK, that was good that was tough.
00:51
I'm sensing murder romance.
00:58
You're absolutely right. This isn't the first time we've met.
01:01
I saw you at an undisclosed burger spot that only has like
01:05
3 things in the menu.
01:07
I remember that day perfectly because it was after an event it
01:10
was a charity event and now we're working together if your audiobook
01:14
was. To be a three course meal.
01:16
Set the vibe. The appetizer,
01:18
an amazing tuna tostada.
01:21
I would also have that with sangrita,
01:23
tomato juice, Maggi sals rea,
01:27
and it looks like blood.
01:28
Main course a Oaxacan mole.
01:31
It is mi favorito and it's kind of spicy and just like
01:34
the audiobook and then tres leches for that like ending to you
01:38
guys gotta listen to the audio book because you're gonna know exactly
01:44
The little sound board we're gonna test your knowledge on your
01:48
own audiobook. I'm gonna play a sequence of sounds you're gonna
01:51
tell me what scene is describing for sound.
02:05
This one's tough. OK,
02:07
this is after the incident which could be murder,
02:12
could be suicide of Alejandro Vasco ding ding ding ding.
02:23
Oh, I, I really want to explain this sequence.
02:29
It's definitely a spoiler.
02:31
You're not gonna see this coming.
02:32
We're not gonna talk about it right here because you're gonna listen
02:34
to the audiobook and now we're gonna do improv.
02:37
Oh, I am your doubles partner and you have to break
02:40
up with me right before a tournament.
02:43
But this is a telenovela ready?
02:47
I'm gonna call out action.
02:49
My mother, right before she died,
02:52
she said, you gotta play tennis in this big tournament.
02:55
That's my only dying wish.
02:58
You're the best partner ever.
03:03
Cristina, I killed your mother.
03:07
With this racket, with that racket,
03:10
and with that racket.
03:13
I also had an affair with her.
03:16
So I don't think we can play together anymore.
03:19
Unless you want to hold the weapon that I killed your mother
03:24
with. Wow, that was good.
03:31
You got me a telenovela.
03:32
That's all I had to say.
03:34
What themes in the book were personal to you?
03:36
My dad was like an amazing tennis player.
03:39
He was number one in Mexico,
03:41
played junior's Wimbledon scholarship to Texas A&M.
03:44
That's how he met my mom.
03:45
So like literally I wouldn't be here without tennis and I wanted
03:49
Tennis to also be in there not just like literally but
03:53
metaphorically how can we make tennis a part of the story and
03:58
woven into the whole murder mystery sexual thriller.
04:03
The murder we don't have to get into it but you can
04:05
tell me backstage. I am fascinated.
04:08
By Mexican high society and how they.
04:15
Their dynamics, you know,
04:17
it's almost like it's very particular and it's almost like an oligarchy
04:23
the way they. Behave in situations and how they live their
04:31
life and the bubble that they live in right is like very
04:35
interesting so we're like why don't we put a family in a
04:37
Crazy situation right? and and how would they behave there?
04:42
And that's how it is in Mexican high society your name is
04:46
everything. Is there a message you want to leave your listeners
04:50
with? Dedicating this to my mom and dad,
04:53
my sister, first and foremost Glasstown,
04:57
Josh, Audible, Amazon Publishing and Amazon Studios.
05:03

05:04
