Manny and Nardo

So Manny and Nardo might be brothers, but they're seriously different dudes. From the second we meet Nardo, we learn that he's a bit of a slacker… Okay, he's a major slacker—he's ready to quit any job the moment he starts it.

But then there's Manny, who can work harder than you'd ever imagine. Whether it's chili-picking, boxing-supporting, or medicine-delivering, our head honcho has perseverance in the bag. With all this hard work, Manny seems pretty different from vain and lazy Nardo. And thanks to Nardo, these qualities are crystal clear in our main man.
