"Don't Cross the Mustard, You B*tch!" | Rice & Beans

This week, Jimmy ("Rice") and Nate ("Beans") take on one of the most heated conversations in canyon carving culture: crossing the mustard. After Evan Sawyer's (@thecanyoncarver) viral Mulholland clip puts reckless drivers, influencers, car enthusiasts, local residents, and law enforcement under the same spotlight, the discussion quickly becomes bigger than lane discipline. From ego and safety to public perception, social media accountability, and the spectacle of calling people out online, this episode asks what happens when car culture’s worst moments become everyone’s content. Between the jokes, frustration, and hard truths, Jimmy and Nate unpack whether public callouts actually protect the scene -- or accidentally make every enthusiast look like part of the problem.Rice & Beans is a humor-driven automotive podcast rooted in Southern California car culture, focused on canyon carving, driving passion, and the people behind the wheel.
