Piolín adds to the South of the Border locura on Eastbound & Down

HBO\'s hilarious scatological and totally adult comedy "Eastbound & Down" plays this interesting point to the hilt as our Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) is learning what 10 bucks and a burrito can do for him in ol\' Mexico.

What is it about Mexicans and our Redneck Southern White brothers? They seem to go together like Jack and Coke.

Case in point: Houston, Texas native Ron White, one of the original Blue Collar comedians, has Alex "Hick-Spanic" Reymundo open for him everywhere he goes.

HBO's hilarious scatological and totally adult comedy "Eastbound & Down" plays this interesting point to the hilt as our Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) is learning what 10 bucks and a burrito can do for him in ol' Mexico.

The second season features the number one radio personality in the country (syndicated in 50 major markets) Eduardo 'Piolín' Sotelo in a cameo as a baseball announcer in the October 3rd episode, as Kenny is navigating his life post-April split in his self-imposed exile from North Carolina to Mexico. 

McBride is fearless and uses every ounce of his being to inhabit the blustering ego-maniacal cocky former professional baseball Kenny Powers who is rolling "Kenny effing Powers style" all through the land.

The second season of Eastbound & Down sees Kenny Powers in Mexico picking up his pitching game south of the border playing for a team owned by wealthy "Chinaman importer" Sebastian Cisneros (Michael Peña).  In a bid to reclaim his Baseball glory, Kenny is the star player of the Charros.

In addition, Powers also has a new love interest with derrière blessed Vida (Ana de la Reguera).

Powers is trying to stage the greatest comeback in history.  His wheelhouse South of the Border is, of course, Baseball.  Then add cockfighting, and the deliciousness of cornrows, mopeds and guest star Efren Ramirez from "Napoleon Dynamite" who is cast as his neighbor.

Stevie Janowski (Stevie Little) is back with a large credit card bill in hand that includes Magnum condoms, lube and whippets in the tally.

The secret weapon for Kenny and the gang? Having the wildly popular Piolín appear in this show, which looks to make this fictitious over-the-hill American baseball player the talk of real Spanish language radio in a gigante way.
