Episode 78 - Beyond the Fantasy Football Fall: A Spirited Spin through Cuisine and Dreamland

Ever found yourself in a fantasy football slump? That's exactly where I found myself this season, sitting at a not-so-enviable 247th place. Join us as we dive into the gritty details of my losing streak and the current hurdles the Raiders are facing, stemming from their coaching situation. We ponder if a corporation takeover could change the team's fortune. 

But the conversation doesn't stop at football! We travel to the culinary realm, exploring the delightful process of cooking calamari and debating over the merits of turkey tacos and sambulque. We share some of our favorite Mexican dish recommendations and mouth-watering experiences at Don Diablo. We even toast to a listener's birthday with a talk about the scrumptious Beef Wellington!

Taking a different route, we venture into the realm of dreams and their intriguing relation to reality. Are these dream-induced deja vu moments just coincidences or signs of psychic abilities? We also take a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the now-obsolete pagers and the past glory of Blackberry. Wrapping up, we express our concern for preserving Cypess Best, and discuss leadership training and room dynamics. It's more than just a podcast episode, it's a journey through varied interests and intriguing discussions. You don't want to miss this!

Mig: 0:11

Welcome back to the Drifted Honor Warrior podcast. This is me.

Lano: 0:15

This is mine RK67.

Mig: 0:20

Let me start off by saying I fn, fn, fn hate fantasy football.

Lano: 0:32

Yeah, I lost this week, man, I lost, I lost also try losing frickin six weeks in a row.

Mig: 0:37

Dude and all heartbreakers.

Lano: 0:40

You know what? It seems like every freaking week.

Mig: 0:42

a player goes down and leaves me hanging high and dry it seems like that's that's that's your thing every year, dude. Yeah, this year's the worst.

Rick: 0:50

I'm 247th place this year's the absolute worst.

Lano: 0:54

Wow, I was undefeated and I finally got my first loss.

Mig: 0:58

Now I'm five and one Still at number one and none of them stung more than last week when the frickin raiders finally decided for the secondary to all be shut down corners, and they shut down my quarterback.

Rick: 1:17

The Patriots, or who was it? Who they play? I don't know.

Lano: 1:20

No, they played Green. Bay. Oh yeah, they played Green Bay.

Mig: 1:24

There I needed 10 points going into that, going into Monday night to win my matchup.

Rick: 1:32

I had the quarterback.

Mig: 1:33

I had Jordan Love and I had Carlson the kicker. You didn't get 10 points. No, wow I thought in the bag. Here goes my first win, Finally. You know, I could get that monkey off my back or whatever. Carlson.

Lano: 1:49

Automatic Miss, miss, miss two.

Mig: 1:52

He missed two 50 yard field goals dude which he never does.

Rick: 1:56

Yeah.

Mig: 1:58

So I'm like, okay, whatever. I'm like I'm still up by one point. You know, as long as this idiot doesn't throw an interception, I'm good. That was the last play.

Lano: 2:09

And what does he do? He throws up the Hail.

Mig: 2:11

Mary and he throws a pick.

Rick: 2:14

I'm like God Did you have that Indie quarterback. I wonder when he went down.

Mig: 2:21

Yeah, now he's an IR because of his shoulder.

Lano: 2:23

Oh he's not coming back this year, so no, I don't have them yeah, right yeah.

Mig: 2:28

So then I'm in a quarterback quandary now because for this past week Jordan loves on by so I don't have him, so like I got to pick up a quarterback. So I dropped Richardson because he's gone for the season. And I look at who's hot and I'm like, oh well, baker means big, I mean he's hot, you know the Detroit's hot. Yeah, you know there should be a shootout. Oh, I'm like there should be a shootout. You know, so this will be good. No, they completely shut them down.

Lano: 2:58

Oh you picked up Mayfield yeah.

Rick: 3:02

And they completely shut them down, dude. Oh yeah, so this the past week.

Mig: 3:07

And then I finally get a back and he doesn't do shit.

Lano: 3:12

On Monday night. On Monday night yeah.

Rick: 3:17

FN hate fantasy football you guys have been seeing all the Raider games, or no? Yeah, I haven't what's like. What's going on with rent, for I heard they like he's gonna get traded.

Mig: 3:29

Yeah, he's, he's gonna get traded.

Lano: 3:31

But it's a bond to ask them to get traded, or like the coaches, or he has to go. Yes, yes, the coach.

Speaker 5: 3:39

Absolutely I don't know what the yeah, didn't you have a big year last year, the?

Rick: 3:44

year before like a huge year? I think yes.

Lano: 3:48

Hey, you know what? Just shut up, dude, because I'm about to go off on you, dude, what you're? Your ignorance of what's going on with that team.

Rick: 3:57

I haven't followed it. I haven't followed it. Okay, so did you saw it.

Lano: 4:01

So how did you know about last year? Did you follow it last year?

Rick: 4:03

No, because I read an article. They're saying they like he hasn't done nothing since he had like a like a hundred reception year or something like that.

Mig: 4:11

Two years ago. Yeah, this was pre makeshift Daniels.

Rick: 4:15

That's why it was just a quick article on ESPN. They're like he's done that, but I know everything.

Lano: 4:20

everything that went that's going to shit with this team is because of McDonald's, so don't ask about the prayers, or it's all McDonald's. That's that's destroying that team. Yep, that's everything. That shit about that team is because of McDonald's and they'll be fooled, because everybody's happy that they're winning a couple games.

Mig: 4:38

But it's like gold man. I mean they're. They're only building you up to drop you off a cliff, so don't don't get all happy and excited.

Lano: 4:47

It's like um, while I was talking to Raj, we're talking about them being three and one coming out of these next four stretches. The stretch run is these last, these next four games, or not? The time it was week four. He goes, bro. We can go three and one, having having us lose against Detroit, but beating beating Green Bay, beating New England.

Mig: 5:14

New.

Lano: 5:14

England and then beating the Bears, and at the time I was like dude, you're crazy dude, like whatever. Because I saw a pack. I mean, yeah, the Packers beat the damn Saints. So I was like dude, they wouldn't you look what they're going to do, the Raiders.

Mig: 5:31

Yeah.

Lano: 5:31

Wow, Now you know they got two wins and they win against the Bears because the Bears are sorry to the possibility, but it's just like regardless, regardless, Like I mean what I mean? This team is not even playoff caliber, no, so it's like I'm not. I mean, why give and get happy because you, they're winning the games, or whatever. It's like, dude, I'm not going to be jumping up and yeah, I'm not going to be happy into that, shit head gets. You know they get moves on. Make shit head.

Rick: 6:05

Now what's the possibilities of that? Like it, doesn't owner live them, the owner's got to go to Yep.

Lano: 6:12

That's stupid.

Mig: 6:13

Bring in some corporation or some shit by the team Right yeah making like every other team out there.

Rick: 6:22

I thought Wayne or something was like going to be buying in or partial owner or something.

Lano: 6:26

I really don't care what happens. I don't care that that stadium is overran by, you know, other fans.

Mig: 6:36

Oh yeah, I care less about that stadium. As long as I'm making money on my tickets selling them, that's all I care about.

Lano: 6:42

I don't, I don't care about what's happening with that stadium. I don't even care if it's a home field advantage. I don't care for that stadium. My heart is in that shit hole Coliseum that's in Oakland, or our Carlos Coliseum here when I became a Raider fan.

Lano: 6:59

That's where my heart's, at this new stadium, is all this flashy fucking corporate man, I don't care. I mean, I care less even that one worker that buried that Kansas City flag. That construction worker buried that Kansas City flag under the stadium when he did? There was a construction worker. I don't know what he, what he worked in, what he did, what trade, but when they were excavating or anything, he, he, he buried a Kansas City towel or flag or something in underneath the stadium. So it's probably going to curse that stadium.

Rick: 7:35

We also curse, or probably?

Lano: 7:37

whatever, I don't care. Stadium doesn't have a black hole. It's not a real one. Yeah, whatever, I care less.

Rick: 7:46

But they try to have like a manufacturer, one or no, I don't even think they still they still kind of try to guess.

Mig: 7:52

Maybe the south end, or the ones at the north end, right the north end, where you can see the strip. They kind of try to put the black hole there. But was that where that the torches the torch?

Rick: 8:03

Yeah, and it's like open right or glass. You can see the view.

Mig: 8:06

Are those?

Rick: 8:07

same, the like, the same characters there, like that Darth Vader and the guy with the spikes and all that stuff.

Lano: 8:14

The last game, I saw the.

Mig: 8:15

Darth Vader there and I see the gorilla I saw the violin.

Lano: 8:19

He's always there, so he was. He was popping up on there.

Mig: 8:23

Wasn't there some story going around that he had passed away or some shit?

Lano: 8:26

Yeah, I think so. You know he's a framer. He's a framer right here in LA.

Mig: 8:30

Yeah, because he would fly up every, every game. Yeah, to a Oakland, and I thought I thought I heard he had passed away, but I don't know he's still around. No, I saw him.

Lano: 8:39

I saw him on the TV.

Mig: 8:40

I haven't seen him, too, on Monday night. That's weird.

Lano: 8:43

Not Monday night, last Monday night.

Rick: 8:45

Yeah, Monday night this year you guys are not going to games. Just one run a one game. Was that the golf trip or no?

Lano: 8:52

Yeah.

Mig: 8:54

Yeah, where are?

Rick: 8:54

the Giants, oh Giants. See Waller, How's he doing?

Lano: 9:01

Me, he has. So, that should tell you. That should tell you, because I'm on his fantasy team, so that should tell you what's going on the mosh is here. The dumps I take every morning look better than he does, makes the mosh.

Rick: 9:20

So what I mean? You guys want it grewed and gone and then like the same, better like who do we need?

Mig: 9:26

I don't think we want it grewed and gone.

Lano: 9:27

I mean we just no, I was pissed with Gruden because he didn't even. He sent off Khalil Mac off the off the bat.

Mig: 9:41

So that's why I was pissed. But the thing was. The thing is that he was like starting to break consistent. We were starting to win dude.

Lano: 9:47

Yeah, we're starting to win.

Mig: 9:50

He was bringing it all together, but before Gruden.

Rick: 9:53

who is it? The white guy was named from USC.

Lano: 9:57

Oh, from USC.

Rick: 9:58

Oh yeah, dalryl, oh Dalryl, he was the first yeah he's, he built something and then like right when he like got to the edge like they just tore it all down. I don't know he was building something with that crumb dump and then yeah, we're going down at the end they tore it all down. Like you know, they just to bring gruted in.

Lano: 10:16

It was when they got rid of the real. Didn't they let go of the OC Um? Uh, then Olson might have been no not all no no, I forgot the OC's team.

Rick: 10:30

But then after it, I mean he built with Cali Mac and the quarterback and then the next day they you know, that was the year I think car got hurt right Like that final year, and you can't find them for that injury Like they're with any plate in the right yeah. Yeah, so I was in Zana when they like they tore it down for the quick, looking, looking.

Lano: 10:52

I don't know what's going on with the Saints too, cause I've been following the Saints, have been following car I don't know man, like I guess car is car man, cause I'm seeing them and just I mean they they're, the players are are pissed. I guess a lot of players aren't doing what they're supposed to. You know putting in the work, you know getting all the details down.

Speaker 5: 11:15

Yeah.

Lano: 11:16

So but I see a lot of the, a lot of these plays that cars in like dude. He's like the sex that he takes, or still like really in the sights of not moving around and it's like dude, that's that's. I guess that's who he's going to be.

Mig: 11:29

Well, I mean, well, yeah, I mean at this point I read it because he's never had any consistency and he's never had you know, that connection with a new coach every like couple of years on.

Rick: 11:38

Everything yeah, something yeah.

Mig: 11:39

So, as much as you want to say it's the same system, it's like but yeah, but it's not the same pieces. You know it's not the same people. It's not like.

Lano: 11:47

You know, it's like like like Kamara, like he's, he's pissed, he's like they're handing that some of these guys aren't aren't doing what they're supposed to or they're not, they're not on the same page Like I think.

Lano: 12:00

One one they keep pointing out Olavi Like he's on a lot of stuff that I call the two minute drills, like he's lost, like he's getting the hot routes or whatever and where car's throwing is kind of like off. So I don't know, it's the same same crap, same crap. I'm not letting it get to me no more. Before I was an angry damn Rayor fan. Now I'm just like whatever.

Rick: 12:30

I promise I wasn't taking it to a game, but it'll probably be a couple of years.

Lano: 12:34

Wait till. It makes shit Wait till he gets fired.

Rick: 12:38

And then what happened with the one week, one day playoff start and then, like a couple of days later, like I'm checking to see how the Dodgers are doing, we're not knocked out.

Lano: 12:46

They didn't even get out of the dam.

Mig: 12:48

All the top ceiling teams got knocked out. I did this except for Houston, but they're about to get knocked out by Texas, texas, yeah Rangers, the Rangers yeah, yeah.

Lano: 13:02

So.

Mig: 13:02

Atlanta and the Dodgers I guess both had the top records, the best records and the Baltimore Orioles and the all got. All of them had the best records in the leagues and they all got bounced.

Lano: 13:16

It was, it's the Diamondbacks, and against Philly.

Rick: 13:19

Did we talk about this area? Did you tell me it was the break or no Like because the top seats they had like a five day break or something or a rest?

Speaker 5: 13:29

I feel like somebody was telling me that.

Rick: 13:31

No, no, they're saying that like, because now that the sounds.

Mig: 13:36

Familiar though we were, we weren't listening to someone talk about that.

Rick: 13:39

Well, because when you started talking right now, I kind of had like a deja vu. Yeah, that um well like the top.

Mig: 13:46

That's not familiar. Like a five day break and then they're saying that they don't like. Uh, it wasn't the radio. We were probably sitting to the same radio show.

Rick: 13:57

I haven't listened to sports radio in a while. That's why I thought maybe you could tell me.

Mig: 13:59

Well, no, I don't listen to sports radio either, but we must have been listening to something on the radio. That was the same.

Rick: 14:03

Something.

Mig: 14:04

You hear a KFI.

Rick: 14:05

No, no, twinsies, that's KFI. We ain't got all excited about KFI.

Mig: 14:13

Because I think that dude Bassay was talking to. Who was he talking to? He was talking to someone on KFI and he's the one that brought that up the heels and the weighting period. Oh, something like that Because they're saying that the players, they're in their rhythm and everything, and they're hot and they got their timing down and everything, and then there's five days of nothing to do. Then you come back and it's all gone. It's like your rhythm's not there, your timing's not there, damn that's sweet.

Lano: 14:49

Your eye is gone. I heard that name in a long time.

Rick: 14:51

Sounds like an old timer. Yeah, dude. Back in the sports radio when I was in traffic all the time.

Mig: 14:57

Well, he still does everything with the Dodgers. He's like the Dodger Traveling Reporter or whatever, but I guess he reports to different stations. He might have been talking to Tim Conway.

Rick: 15:11

Because when you said that all top four teams, I just had like deja vu and I was like oh, maybe we already talked about this or you told me outside or something then you're talking about the break. I remember hearing that on the radio. Have you guys ever had like you know how they say like a glitch in the matrix or whatever?

Rick: 15:26

All the time Like deja vu I had something like that a few weeks ago and I can't remember what it was, but something really like. I saw like something repeated itself or deja vu, and I was like I was going to bring it up to my wife and I just totally forgot. I forgot where.

Mig: 15:39

I was driving, we were driving somewhere. It was during work and it was like deja vu or something. I told the idiot. I told him deja vu. It was a glitch in the matrix.

Lano: 15:50

I had it was trippy I can't remember. Like you know, you have just dreams that you just can't remember. You had a dream, but you just can't remember what it is, I just remember it happening Trippy. Trippiest thing is I had deja vu in the dream, deja vu within a dream.

Rick: 16:08

Like a dream within a dream.

Lano: 16:09

Yeah, I was dreaming and then, when I was dreaming it, I was like shit, I've dreamt this before in the dream.

Rick: 16:17

Like you had woken up in that dream.

Lano: 16:19

No, I was still in the dream, but I knew it was like a deja vu dream, no, but you were like sleeping in that dream and woke up.

Rick: 16:26

Yeah, yeah, you were dreaming that you woke up and something I woke up I was like holy crap.

Lano: 16:29

That was like a deja vu within a dream.

Mig: 16:32

I know what you're talking about, because I've had this happening to me a lot lately, especially when I have the alarm go off and I don't want to get up. It's like I'll be dreaming that I'm lighting in bed and I hear the alarm go off and I'm trying to turn it off and it doesn't want to turn off.

Mig: 16:49

And I'm getting pissed in my dream and I'm like why the hell won't this thing turn off? Yeah, and I'm trying to figure it out in everything and it's like it's my subconscious time we wake up. Dumbass, you know, your real alarm's going off.

Speaker 5: 17:00

Oh yeah.

Mig: 17:01

You know, or there was one time when I was working on the computer and I busted those doff and my dad walked in and like I kind of dozed off and I dreamt that he was like standing next to me telling me something and I was trying to talk to him but I couldn't say nothing, like the voice like it wasn't coming out. And then he's like I woke up and I see him there and I go, oh shit. He's like was he trying to wake me up?

Lano: 17:28

Yeah, I don't know, that thing was weird isn't it. It's weird how you know, when you wake up, you know in the moment of what, yeah, you know what the hell happened in the dream and what it is, and then just a couple hours passed and then you're like, oh shit, what did I?

Mig: 17:42

dream. Have you ever had that happen for real? I remember being a kid and dreaming just like normal, regular life scenarios like walking down the street, you know, in a certain car drove by and saw a dog, nothing weird crazy, just regular, everyday occurrences. Like nothing spectacular, nothing, just everyday shit. You dream it and then the shit actually happened.

Lano: 18:12

You dreamt it into existence.

Rick: 18:14

That's not a glitch. That's like premonition or something, don't they call it?

Lano: 18:19

You were a little bit of a psychic, yeah, but that's why it kind of feels like deja vu, because it was like oh shit, I was already.

Mig: 18:25

This already happened in my dream, you know. And it's like here I am, it's happening and I'm like what the hell? I used to have that happen to me a lot when I was young.

Lano: 18:36

Yeah, I mean, that's what deja vu is right. You dream something and then it happens. Then you get the deja vu.

Rick: 18:43

Well, I don't know if that's the case with the dream.

Lano: 18:46

Because we're also going to see it at that one specific thing, that one specific thing.

Rick: 18:51

I was like they dream me, but that's a dream, yeah.

Lano: 18:54

Maybe, yeah, well a memory or something, a memory that happened before. I mean, that's what it is. That's where deja vu comes from. It comes from a dream. I had an aunt.

Rick: 19:03

Well, we're a little. I mean, she could have been just like tricking me, or I had an aunt that would always like when the phone rings she would say like oh, that's so-and-so, and then like it would be that person all the time.

Lano: 19:15

Oh, they guessed a different person that's calling.

Rick: 19:17

Yeah, she would be like oh, so-and-so's calling and then like pick it up and it would be that person. I'm not gonna know. Now that I think about it, it could have been her, like telling her friend, call us at five, or like I'll call you at seven or something. Then she knew who it was, but like Maybe she's just looking at the caller ID dick. No, this is a pre-caller ID. Pre-caller ID.

Mig: 19:37

How do you know, maybe she was one of the first people to ever have it.

Rick: 19:39

That hurt.

Lano: 19:42

They had the rings downpacked. Two rings is so-and-so three rings and so-and-so.

Rick: 19:48

Well, now that we're talking phones. What was your first like phones? You guys had Not like cell phones about the house, did you guys have like the rotary, the rotary dumps?

Lano: 19:57

Yeah.

Rick: 19:58

Yeah, I remember we had like this kitchen phone. I had a rotary but like we had the longest, like you know the the curly cute coat cord yeah.

Lano: 20:06

We had like the longest one, like the pony dynamite.

Rick: 20:09

Or you could just like walk around the whole room, like with that dragon, that cord.

Lano: 20:11

We never had that.

Rick: 20:12

Do you still remember your childhood phone number? Yeah, well, it's the same number. Yeah, it's an easy one. Yeah, I still remember it, you remember it.

Lano: 20:19

That's the only number I remember. That's the only yeah, the number we had is two.

Mig: 20:23

We had one in the room and we had one in the house. I know both of them. Yeah, you guys had separate lights for the back house.

Lano: 20:28

Yeah, I know both of them. I mean that that the number in the back, how, in the back room, our room, like I think some of that's still like on damn rewards yeah.

Speaker 5: 20:42

Like that's the first number I give, do you have?

Lano: 20:44

a reward yeah For the back room.

Mig: 20:46

Yeah, cause, like a lot of my passwords is shit, it's like for the really old ones, like the old accounts I've had.

Speaker 5: 20:51

Yeah.

Mig: 20:53

The passwords, like it says, to verify your phone number or whatever, and I'll go in there and I'll see the old room number. Yeah, I'll be like, oh shit, let me update that yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Lano: 21:05

You know your, your number, laura's number, the house number. I always get.

Mig: 21:09

I always get your number and loud as mixed up because they're kind of similar.

Speaker 4: 21:14

Not even yeah.

Mig: 21:15

Cause yours ends on 9214 and hers is a 7216. 7216.

Rick: 21:21

730.

Mig: 21:23

Yeah, I thought 730.

Rick: 21:24

Are you still dialing the number or are you just pushing the name?

Speaker 5: 21:26

No, I'm just pushing the name.

Mig: 21:29

But I think I might you know what? Do you know your wife's number by?

Rick: 21:32

heart. She gets on my case.

Mig: 21:33

I don't know it, she knows it.

Rick: 21:36

She gets on my case all the time. I just haven't learned it.

Lano: 21:38

And she knows yours. You see what a piece of crap you are. She knows mine. See what a piece of monkey crap you are.

Rick: 21:43

It's like a weird 818 number.

Lano: 21:45

And I bet you she's already taught Ali her number.

Mig: 21:47

Well, when I was, when I was in my ex, I memorized her number.

Rick: 21:53

No, I have to remember. I just like, I just she didn't remember his mine, but whatever. I tell myself I'll remember it, but like I just you know, I'm going to have to make myself dial it each time when I call, instead of pushing her name.

Lano: 22:04

Yeah, I mean that's to train myself. That's where everybody's memory went to shit. Yeah, everybody knew their the numbers, or they actually knew the house numbers, and they knew everyone's pager number. Yeah, so you can pay. Did you ever have a pager?

Rick: 22:20

I never had a pager. I had a pager, yeah, I had the page that 143 to that special someone.

Lano: 22:27

I had that skytel or that, or that, or you page you, page one, one, seven, seven, one, five, five, one seven.

Rick: 22:40

I had. I think it was called skytel. It was like the fancy pager that was in the music video.

Lano: 22:43

No, that was four zero One seven four, three, seven, seven zero.

Rick: 22:56

Yeah, Hello, To me you're looking for but it was that fancy pager that the music videos had like with the keyboard and the screen.

Mig: 23:09

Well, the semester I won the sky. Sky pager yeah, sky pager yeah.

Lano: 23:13

Sky page.

Rick: 23:18

I had it going off at it in the neighborhood, so like I couldn't like text or communicate with nobody, but I had those big things. You know what? That's funny.

Lano: 23:26

Those text messages me and Vanessa had talked about, that we were talking about oh, we do it like this, like this, like this, and we're trying to explain it to Trevor.

Rick: 23:36

Oh, like flipping upside down and stuff, that stuff or no?

Lano: 23:39

Yeah, just like the messages you send. When you would send it.

Mig: 23:43

You would send them. You know the pager. You call the pager number, it beats, then you put in your number, your number whatever. Well, back in the day we all had combinations where you put it in and since pretty much everybody had the same Motorola pager, you would get it. Look at it, the number would come up. But then you flip it over and there'd be a word yeah, those clear ones, right, those clear pagers or no?

Rick: 24:11

No, just saw those little they had a small screen up on top, yeah.

Mig: 24:16

My dad had one of those. It wasn't until after they made like the flat ones where the screens were flat on the body.

Lano: 24:21

Yeah.

Mig: 24:22

Instead of on the top of the edge.

Rick: 24:23

Oh right, right, right. Well, my dad was, you know, a build advancement, so he had one of those pagers where, like you just get like a beep and then you had to like call some, like answering service. And we're like someone call me, and then they'll be like oh yeah, call this number back or whatever.

Lano: 24:38

Hey, did you ever have a Blackberry Me? No, no.

Mig: 24:42

Men you'll love this Blackberry.

Lano: 24:43

Yeah, he didn't want to let that go.

Mig: 24:45

He was so pissed off when they stopped making Blackberries.

Rick: 24:47

No people had a following for those.

Mig: 24:48

Yeah, no, he was one of them.

Lano: 24:49

They didn't want to go. Remember Jim Rome was always about those stupid.

Rick: 24:53

Blackberries, and if you had a Blackberry or Blackberry, somehow they would communicate with each other like a certain way or like some.

Mig: 25:00

Yeah, you get a. I think it was like the first form of texting.

Speaker 5: 25:02

Something like that, yeah, yeah, yeah, blackberries.

Rick: 25:04

Yeah. They made a movie about it. I don't I remember it was coming out Blackberry. Yeah, the story of Blackberry like a movie I have to look for the trailer oh damn Like it came out in the summertime. I never heard nothing about it. This year yeah, oh.

Lano: 25:19

I don't want to see that.

Rick: 25:20

I never heard nothing about it. You're probably on Netflix now or HBO Max or something.

Lano: 25:24

I didn't hear anything about that I had. I had like the Wacky, the ready link, the Wacky Talky one.

Mig: 25:32

Oh yeah.

Lano: 25:32

Where you just you have people on it and you just hit it.

Mig: 25:35

On the next town no, Next town yeah.

Lano: 25:37

Yeah, yeah, same thing, same thing. Yeah, sprint, virgin of it. Sprint was, oh I hated you.

Mig: 25:45

I hated you having Sprint. Yeah, sprint was, sprint was horrible.

Lano: 25:50

Sprint out of the version of. I said virgin Version of. The ready link was the version of the next town.

Mig: 25:57

I hated having to call this guy on his phone, man, when he had that Sprint phone. Yeah, this, calls were always dropping off, dude.

Speaker 5: 26:03

Yeah, always dropping off Sprint sucked.

Rick: 26:05

Yeah, but then they like they were the first with some new network or something. It's like a different technology that people didn't have yet, or something.

Lano: 26:14

And my number. I got that. I got Sprint when I was working in Home Depot. Home Depot Sprint or next town.

Speaker 4: 26:23

No no.

Lano: 26:23

Sprint.

Mig: 26:24

And because I remember Sprint that they merged with next town.

Lano: 26:28

A girl came in and then asking no, you want this. And then I got it from her like the deal, yeah, so I've had that number, I've had my number, Damn since probably.

Mig: 26:45

As long as I've had like 2000.

Lano: 26:47

Yeah, 2000,. Huh, I've had my same number for 21 years, 23 years.

Mig: 26:53

I probably had my longer.

Lano: 26:55

Yeah Damn, I had the same number for 23 years.

Mig: 27:01

I never changed my area codes. I'm old G two and three.

Lano: 27:05

Oh, I was one. I have three to three. Yeah, I think that was. It was right when that was happening.

Mig: 27:10

Right when the switch, right, right when it was switch. Yeah, I couldn't get that down. You're still 213,. Man, I was still 213.

Lano: 27:17

Yeah yeah, they ran out of numbers and I was pissed because I think I had a number, I think, and I don't think I was able to bring my number.

Mig: 27:25

They weren't doing that.

Speaker 5: 27:26

They weren't doing that Back then. It's like so I had to lose my two.

Mig: 27:30

That's why people had such a hard time leaving networks or whatever, because they had to get numbers yeah.

Rick: 27:38

I think each service had like a group of numbers right, yeah, they weren't like sharing them or something.

Lano: 27:42

Yeah, dude, I gave up my damn 213 number from whatever I had.

Mig: 27:50

Let me tell you this Do you remember your, your old pager number? No, no, I don't know, I remember mine. You want to know what was the trick to remembering mine? Because I always, I always try to do this. I always try to like, associate, like numbers with either players, or something like that.

Speaker 5: 28:14

Oh yeah.

Mig: 28:15

So mine, my pager number was a two and three a circle, the last Dodger World Series, and the only number I had to remember was 54.

Rick: 28:30

Hmm, so two and three in the 80s are like you got to go to the Dodger oh three a circle three sixty. Oh, oh.

Lano: 28:41

I think that, yeah, three hundred and sixty degrees, oh, three, eighty eight, the last one eighty eight, that's the same.

Mig: 28:48

Dodger championship Eighty eight. The only number I remember was 54.

Speaker 5: 28:51

Hmm.

Rick: 28:53

Did you play that in slow motion? You have his number.

Mig: 28:56

You have my whole page number.

Rick: 28:58

And a call your page number.

Mig: 29:00

Feel free to page me.

Lano: 29:02

We should probably call you see what has that number Huh.

Rick: 29:05

How do you figure out how to work your phone?

Lano: 29:06

Yeah, you know what I don't remember, my, I don't even have no clue.

Mig: 29:10

But that's how, that's how I do it. A lot of numbers to like, try to remember them. It's like say, say, there was like a combination of numbers. I was like thirty, forty five. I'd be like Gagne and Jordan after retirement. I'd done that, or retired Jordan, or twenty three, or something like that. It's like for me, twenty three, I wouldn't do Jordan, but I would do Eric Carrell's. Yeah, you know. So, just like that is how I Tighten and try to remember, yeah, I couldn't remember that damn.

Lano: 29:46

That thing's lost in the matrix. Yeah, I wonder if they just really reissue those numbers, those two and three, I think so. Yeah, I mean, it's probably recycled them.

Rick: 29:54

I mean, if they just give it to someone that moved over here.

Lano: 29:57

That wasn't even an Angelino.

Mig: 29:59

Oh, that Obama phones man.

Rick: 30:02

Piece of shit, I don't know. I think the two and three are like hard to get, like I don't think this.

Mig: 30:06

Give it to people they should see how I can't work because they even recently like, was it like ten years ago, that four to four, that's a new one, that's a new area code. Four to four, four to four, that's a new number.

Rick: 30:23

A new number. Yeah, really downtown, that's not like Valley or something.

Mig: 30:28

It's LA.

Lano: 30:28

I don't know what parts of LA, but I know it's three to three, is already full to one.

Mig: 30:33

Wow.

Lano: 30:36

Damn.

Rick: 30:37

Yeah.

Lano: 30:40

That was cold out.

Rick: 30:42

This is LA County, Southwestern Coastal.

Lano: 30:46

Google after. Are there any two and three numbers?

Mig: 30:49

Yeah, it's barely Hills man. We're just taking off Brentwood, Malibu, Pacific, Palisades, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica and Torrance, Catalina, Catalina.

Rick: 31:02

I bet because of those cities people are like oh, I'm four to four, like nine, like nine, or two, one north or something.

Lano: 31:08

Yeah, give them. Give those eight holes there their own area code. You see, give us back our two and threes.

Mig: 31:18

Well, that's one reason why I never wanted to give up my number Two and three, and then Laura's has three to three manual to a manual manual my dad and my number.

Lano: 31:30

They're all two and three yeah. Yeah Is what does it say Well, I don't know what that means, but it says um now includes only three rate centers in central Los.

Rick: 31:42

Angeles. So they just made like the area where you could get it like smaller. I think it's just like downtown.

Lano: 31:49

Yeah, so three, one probably five, six, two, that's kind of like Whittier area. Six, one, nine is San Diego seven, one, four. Six to six. No see South yeah. South Coast Plaza over there South Coast, yeah, the.

Mig: 32:06

Bay Area.

Lano: 32:06

South Bay Area. Eight, five, eight, that's one I haven't heard of.

Mig: 32:09

Nine or nine. Nine or nine is also over there.

Lano: 32:13

Nine or nine is the OG.

Rick: 32:16

Nine or nine is the OG Right.

Lano: 32:18

Like two and three over there for like Riverside and stuff. Yeah, yeah, nine or nine. Because nine for nine is now the extended of that area.

Mig: 32:26

Huh, no, nine for nine is actually more Well, I guess, of that area and also like parts of Orange County, I think. Mark what Mark?

Lano: 32:39

Mark, mark, you're the, you're the.

Mig: 32:43

I think like Irvine, and below is going to be Irvine yeah.

Rick: 32:52

Orange County like Tustin and all that stuff. I think so.

Mig: 32:56

I think those parts are nine for nine also.

Speaker 5: 33:00

Oh well.

Mig: 33:00

I remember.

Lano: 33:03

I thought I've sound nine, nine, four, nine in the inland area. Are you San Bernardino? I saw the solo provision.

Mig: 33:11

You remember, Johnny Jr.

Speaker 4: 33:13

Yeah.

Lano: 33:14

Yeah.

Mig: 33:14

Well, when he was going to college he was down there somewhere by the coast and he was living down there in Orange County somewhere. Uh, huh. And the number he got that he still has to his day is a nine, four, nine number.

Lano: 33:27

Nine, four, nine.

Mig: 33:28

Yeah, hmm, he's actually the only nine four nine number I know.

Lano: 33:33

Mark, let us know what the OG area code is over there.

Rick: 33:37

Well, where did Mark grow up in? He's over in San.

Lano: 33:39

Bernardino, San Bernardino County. Over there.

Rick: 33:41

So you're saying, you're, you think it's the nine, four, nine or nine on nine.

Lano: 33:44

No, nine on nine is for sure the longest one that I've known, but I don't know if that's the OG one.

Mig: 33:50

Hey, mark, but if you're doing your research and you can't figure it out, maybe you can ask her mommy.

Rick: 33:59

Oh, I had to do it how to do it, how to do it D Last week we were talking about um well, ufos right.

Speaker 5: 34:07

Yeah.

Rick: 34:08

Did you guys hear the news this week? It was um a big foot sighting. Oh what you heard? Anything like that.

Lano: 34:19

I saw something that bypassing Think on YouTube.

Rick: 34:23

Well, my wife was showing she came across it on um Instagram, but um they're saying like is this what the hoax looks like.

Lano: 34:30

But yeah, it looked to uh.

Mig: 34:32

I don't know why they call it a sight. I was just doing some yard work.

Rick: 34:36

But I have it on the screen. So apparently the couple was on a train in Colorado.

Lano: 34:43

Yeah, but I'll tell you where it is.

Rick: 34:45

I'm on the stake. Where is it?

Mig: 34:48

at. So they're on the training, see it like walking around.

Rick: 34:52

See it right here, yeah.

Lano: 34:56

Someone in a Chewbacca costume.

Mig: 34:59

Oh, that is CGI, dude, cgi.

Lano: 35:04

Oh yeah.

Rick: 35:06

Like just squatted down.

Speaker 5: 35:09

Like well, whatever it blends in pretty good.

Lano: 35:13

Nah, but that could just be someone in a, in a costume man.

Rick: 35:16

Now they're saying they're on a train and then like it's a phone, so like that's like zoomed in, like in the distance.

Lano: 35:22

But look it, with all this crap going on, people are going to be out there to prank.

Speaker 4: 35:28

Yeah.

Lano: 35:29

They know a train passes there, so hey, let's go get a costume.

Mig: 35:32

a big foot costume and get out there.

Lano: 35:34

Then, when the train passes, we'll just walk and then you sit down and Well, it's like we said before it's never anything clear, it's all grainy footage.

Mig: 35:44

It's like and it's always like from a mile away.

Lano: 35:48

Dude's got like iPhone 50s and all these top notch cameras. And then there's the damn. Footage is still gritty.

Rick: 35:56

It looks like it's something you recorded in the 50s Now to go with you what you said, that that area is like a big foot tourist area, like that area right there. Well, they're that area, like they said that the next train stop or something like that is like. So they're saying that they're wondering if that the town shop or something had something to do with it or something, because it's like they claim that there's been like five sightings in the last like 10 years like in that area.

Lano: 36:22

Well, I'll let you know, because this weekend coming up we're going camping taking Trevor camping fishing up there in Big Bear.

Rick: 36:30

That's what.

Lano: 36:30

I wasn't sure if that was last week or this upcoming weekend, this coming weekend, oh, the past weekend we went to this past weekend went to Ensenala.

Rick: 36:36

Well, how was it?

Lano: 36:39

It's always a blast dude.

Speaker 4: 36:41

It was a hot it was like hot over here.

Lano: 36:43

Nah, it was great, it was good weather and this time, mark and his wife, he went. We were able to leave earlier on Friday and again, man, we spent the whole day at the wineries At Dona Estella.

Rick: 37:00

Is that Valle de Guadalupe or no? Yeah, Valle de Guadalupe.

Lano: 37:04

Man, there we are. It was a great day, man. We had a bomb time and check this out, so we did hit all the wineries up, the same ones, and we and Mark finally tried the pork belly tacos that we have at the Kings and Queens. By then, when we had those, man, we were so full, like full and full of, you know, all drinking and all day.

Mig: 37:28

Yeah.

Lano: 37:29

Feeling miserable man, but we had that right. And then the next day's Sunday. So Sunday we, that's the day we usually like we'll make something over there. So we made the Awas Chilis again, and you know that that always comes out like oh, it's Chile with a nice cold beer, oh yeah, it's like. And then this time, this time, this time Vanessa's uncle, instead of having well, first he had, like these little mini indios beers and then, but this time, he had a fridge, full fridge of damn Kawamas of them.

Mig: 38:10

That's all they were, man.

Lano: 38:13

But but check it out. So of course you made Awas Chilis, the girls did the Awas Chilis. They got all the stuff and they prepped it Me, mark and Mario, her uncle, we, they have a friend that works at the ports, the fishermen ports over there, so they gave them. They gave them two bags of squid, a bag of octopus and a bag of seashells, but I think those were weren't good anywhere. So they say we're going to make some calamari Like plastic bags, like frozen bags.

Lano: 38:50

Yeah, and just plastic bags that are frozen but fresh, because the guy catches them and he brought them there Right. So then we were looking up and how to like clean up the damn squid.

Mig: 38:59

Yeah, Do you have to squeeze you ever you ever?

Lano: 39:02

you ever done it, Mick? I think no.

Mig: 39:04

I've never done it, but I think I've seen it done. You got to like rinse it a lot, right?

Lano: 39:08

Well, the squid, right, you get it. You got to get it like by the body, the head Squid, squid yeah. Squid, you pull it and it just you pull out from the body with the head off, pull it all the way off, get all the. You know, sometimes they'll pull all the guts out and everything, but is there ink that comes out or no?

Lano: 39:25

Yeah, Sometimes it's like a like a black, like ink that shoots out. Yeah, so you pull that off right and then there's like you got to pull the bone or the spine, whatever it is.

Mig: 39:38

You got. It looks like a cartilage or something it looks like just a clear.

Lano: 39:41

it kind of looks like a plastic butter knife it's like, but it's like a kind of real pointy, you know like a spear.

Lano: 39:49

And then you just pull that out and then the fins, like the one dude that I saw, he cut the fins off and then he would peel the outer layer of the of the body. Oh, so this is the guy doing it. No, no, well, that guy, but that's just how we started doing it. So Mark and Mario were doing it faster. I'm like, how are they doing it? Well, they were just ripping the fins right off and it was easier to peel it. Peel it all off, right, how big is it? Oh, the, they're different sizes, like the. The first bag they were small. So we're like dude, this isn't, this isn't worth it, man.

Lano: 40:23

Like as much as a little bit of calamari you gave is like so you pull the head out with all the guts out, pull that spine out, that clear spine. Then you rip the fins off, rip the whole outer skin off and then now you, you got the clear right, you know body right. Then you I would you can kind of squeeze the rest of it out Like it was disgusting man. You pull like a lot of stuff out. Sometimes it's like clear jelly stuff would come out and then still some of the guts were in there. But what you do is you flip it inside out. You got to push it from like the bottom, flip it inside out and then clean it.

Lano: 41:06

Really good that way you leave it nice and white and just the body. And then once you get that, you slice it or just throw them in there like that Now the head, now that's all the guts, you're throwing that away. You get the head, slice it right I don't know if it's above, I guess, or below the eyeball or whatever it is slice that off and then you kind of squeeze it to squeeze like the eyeballs out, and then it's like a little white I don't know if it's the brain or I don't know. You squeeze that out, you slice that on, you just leave the little tentacle part and then boom, that's, that's what they also fry to. So the first bag was I do me and mark were like our bags are hurting. How many than a bag.

Mig: 41:53

Also, the eyes are near the tentacles. Yeah, on the bottom and like the tube and everything that's like just like already like a mouth or some something.

Lano: 42:02

Yeah something nice, something like that. I guess, but the tentacles are like small and the I don't know.

Rick: 42:10

Yeah, they have like a big.

Lano: 42:12

Yeah, yeah, long along yeah, so Hmm, is that big heart?

Rick: 42:18

No right, it's not like those giant squeeze they have, like a beak type of thing.

Lano: 42:22

No, that's just kind of soft, but or I don't know if it's when I think it's up the tentacles as the bottom part, isn't it?

Rick: 42:32

Well, no, I hear, I don't know.

Lano: 42:32

It's kind of weird. It's a weird damn animal.

Rick: 42:34

Yeah, how many is in a bag? So how many, like you got a while it was like I don't know.

Lano: 42:38

I would say the pounds, damn. I don't know. Maybe like a Five pound bag. I mean, baby, I Don't like 28, no, like, well, the small ones. There were a lot of small ones, man, because we were getting tired of that no. And then the second bag we did had bigger ones and those were really easy to Flip inside and cut open and all that.

Lano: 43:04

That one maybe had, I don't know, maybe about 15 of them in there in that bag maybe, but man Cutting that up and then, and then he had that bag of octopus and the bag of octopus had, I think, five of them, six of them, actually. You know what? I had pictures of us, right, I, we didn't know how to do the octopus either. We're just gonna grill it, we're gonna fry the Squid, the calamari, and then you know, after that Mark looked it up that you had to marinating the milk, milk for about half an hour and then bring it out, you know, rinse it out, and then then Mark had his, his season and his breading and all that you know to Actually out from the milk. He breaded it like that.

Mig: 43:56

No, he deep fried it. He deep fried it. Also deep fried we. Deep fried it.

Lano: 43:58

Mark Mario deep fried it. And then now the octopus, we're just gonna grill it. So the octopus they go. Hey, you know, here they gave me the octopus after we cut up all that stuff, the calamari, you did the marinade.

Mig: 44:11

Yeah, in the milk in the bowl of milk.

Lano: 44:13

Yeah, that was a calamari.

Lano: 44:14

Okay because then we brought that out and then we breaded it, seasoned it and then that deep fried, so. But then I got the octopus and then I started washing that while Mark cut that off, you know, and then I had to go rinse it and clean it out. But it was weird. Like the octopus had like a lot of like Dead, like the dead skin or whatever, like from the tentacles like coming off, and I do so I had to wash it really good, really good. And then all we did with the octopus was just put some, some olive oil and then whatever the garlic salt they had it whatever and boom, threw it on the grill, like that. That came out good too, man. So we had them, the octopus. Now it was like like like chewy, that's chewy.

Mig: 44:59

See cuz I was gonna say, because I've seen on TV when they, before they grill it, they actually boil it for a while. So I make, and then you throw it on the grill.

Lano: 45:13

They boil it Before these season.

Mig: 45:16

It they actually they season the water. So the water they'll throw an onion, they'll throw some herbs.

Lano: 45:22

They'll throw a lemon that's the seasoning for it. They make a put some.

Mig: 45:26

Yeah, they make like a broth, so they'll have it. They'll have it like a rolling boil, but then they'll get it, they'll dunk it, bring it out. Then they'll dunk it again and bring it out, and then I guess, like one more time, just put this time, leave it in there, but I don't know for how long you probably have to look it up, yeah, and then after you pull it out of there, I guess I let it cool, cool down, maybe, and then or just bring it out and like cut the tentacles off or whatever, and yeah.

Mig: 45:56

If you're gonna put them on skewers or whatever, just.

Lano: 45:59

I mean you just that's what you do. You eat the tentacles, right? Yeah, cut that off because we had those other things where I brought some back when little bags, so, and then I brought one piece of the octopus and I just ate the tentacles, because the middle part I was gonna eat, the butthole of the damn. The plus is like you see, the mean starfish, like that's like dude, I'm not gonna eat this.

Mig: 46:22

I'm just yeah, tough and chewy.

Speaker 5: 46:26

First oh.

Mig: 46:28

Like but but it's almost like think what they call a park cooking. So you cook it part the way, okay, so then you finish it on the grill.

Lano: 46:36

So that that's our decision, that's all. Is that all you need? Or Be still well, actually, because I see them when they throw it on the grill.

Mig: 46:45

They might have like like an adobada. Hmm paste or something that they put on there as they're grilling it. Yeah, okay, so it all depends on, like, what you want. Yeah you know. So it could be something simple as just throw old bay on it throw like some old bay. And yeah, you done with it.

Lano: 47:05

That was, that was a. You know that was pretty cool because I was a first for me. Yeah Well, I was first for mark to Preparing the calamari.

Rick: 47:13

I mean well, it's crazy. I mean experiment. That's how you learn, yeah.

Lano: 47:16

Yeah, yeah, I mean cuz you know, mark marks damn.

Mig: 47:19

Hey, he's a barbecue with you experimented, nobody got sick.

Lano: 47:23

Yeah, no, but the damn calamari that that came out real good man.

Rick: 47:27

What you used to like fry it or get the bread it. I.

Lano: 47:31

Don't know what mark had there.

Mig: 47:33

He had some kind of flower and well, you did it before and you get it in. Yeah, yeah, but the calamari came out tender like after your Friday I came out really

Rick: 47:41

good, how'd you like You're in in Sonata right? See, this had a big, like a big Bowl of oil or a pan of oil.

Lano: 47:48

Yeah, well, well, mario has like the the disc of these cool at least one. He has, he puts it in there. And Mars, the one that knows all that stuff. Yeah well, this is good transition, but it's kind of cool because, you Know, like the first time that I went over there and he wanted to try the Was Chile, so he, you know he did that and then I was able to help him, you know, clean the shrimp.

Lano: 48:09

You know, prep and all that. So now it's cool because everyone was doing their thing. You know, it's not just one. Yeah like it was cool because everyone's.

Rick: 48:19

Doing their part. Yeah, helping out for the kitchen. That's all you. Everybody has a rule.

Mig: 48:23

That's all down there with you guys one of these days. What day was that? Yeah?

Lano: 48:26

we're gonna, we gotta set it up to go one Week in what day was that? Saturday, that was Sunday. That was our last day.

Rick: 48:32

Well, this is on Saturday on the screen me, I mean, I sent you guys a picture, but we had a whole bullshit.

Speaker 5: 48:38

Oh yeah and see there's the octopus, oh yeah.

Rick: 48:41

Tentacle right there.

Mig: 48:43

How'd you like that what?

Rick: 48:45

I ordered it, and Then hey what happened that thing?

Lano: 48:49

What is it called the sopa?

Rick: 48:53

So body, mariscos, yeah, so that's when you had Did, I had it and I told her you got try this and like we looked at each other. I might be the best soup we've ever had, telling you might be the best soup we've ever had.

Mig: 49:05

Shit was bomb, dude.

Rick: 49:07

And now we're fighting, like when we go back, who's in order the soup? Because she, she wants it now, you guys can sure it. Yeah but this is I mean, but like the fish, the, even that fish sausage, like I didn't know what to expect but that thing was Looks delicious. The tomato, so we had that. And then the Octopus taco, because they had a picture of it like on the screen, and then Laura gets her Brandsino plate.

Lano: 49:40

We we all gotta go over there to don't Diablo, so you guys can try that.

Rick: 49:44

Damn, I'll come put so there and then I went, so she was way in line. So then, like I went, those are smaller it went to the chitinita. So that's the the cochina people taco, because I remember you said that those too much bread on the sandwich. Yeah so one left to tend tender meat, like it's like a really like Tender, like carnita kind of, and then that's the langonisa. So they sound by two tacos eat.

Mig: 50:11

So I already like two of each, and then we just ate one each because, well, you should try also what, besides the pb, what's really authentic and traditional? And yucatan Is there, uh, the son, some bucos, tacos and the panuchos. That's also nice about panuchos.

Speaker 5: 50:33

Oh, that's the column. Easy, because they had something like on the screen.

Rick: 50:36

They said it's like a hard-boiled egg right in a tortilla or something or stuff.

Mig: 50:40

No, that's what I was like kind of read on the description saying the panuchos are a tortilla Stuff with black beans and they just um do the turkey, because the turkey is big over there. So they're just turkey tacos, but the tortillas are stuffed with beans. Mm-hmm, that's uh. That's the panuchos.

Rick: 51:02

Oh yeah, because turkey is in central america. The sambulque.

Mig: 51:05

Sambulque is the same thing, but without the beans in the tortilla. Oh, but, um, when we were still had a shop right here in alhambra and, uh, we had that account, that told trick, that towing account yeah, the manager, he's from yucatan and he had a lady that would make those and he would always bring us like maybe like a dozen of tacos For like being made by my dad. Yeah, dude, they were so good man.

Rick: 51:36

So good, so we each had like the two tacos each and like we're kind of already like full, but then, like the bowl of soup came and then even this bread. It's like I think it's like grilled on the grill but like dipping it in here. Yeah, it's the the best, deepest, the best, but now it's good. I mean just, we just sat there and enjoyed it like we just stayed there and then, um Ali was asleep the whole time, so she missed out, but we went on.

Lano: 52:01

saturday we went on saturday, like he's probably right there, you, the taco, I was like you're ass down.

Rick: 52:09

There was no soccer game, no usc games, so like we're able to get a seat. I mean it wasn't empty, but now it was good, like if you have a chance to go back and because you told me you took your brother to um, johnny pastrami.

Lano: 52:20

Oh yeah, how was that? That was his manuals first time yeah. You got a menu and bubble. No menu, just menu, just menu. What do you say? What do you think about it? Oh, he liked it. Yeah, he really liked it, best one that he's had away.

Mig: 52:35

We're still searching for what we like. Absolutely miss having here at frank's Aka cypress best. But that's the best before that was a really good sandwich that he loved it, but he loved his house, of course, the size.

Rick: 52:50

Yeah.

Mig: 52:52

But then just uh how juicy and flavorful it is. Yeah, I gotta go back. Feels good.

Rick: 53:00

I've been there since we went. I've been there maybe two or three more times after and since, like, whenever we're gonna go to the airport, we're probably gonna stop by there. You guys are just working on that because that's, that's what he has said.

Mig: 53:10

He's like it's not something I would go out of my way for, but if I'm in the area I'm definitely gonna stop again. I'm like, yeah Well, you just had the one, the pastrami, he didn't try the other one. No, we just got pastrami and, uh, shared some onion rings.

Rick: 53:24

Yeah, what time was it?

Mig: 53:28

It was like three or four.

Rick: 53:30

Was he could find parking pretty easy, or?

Mig: 53:31

no, oh yeah.

Rick: 53:33

Last time it was, we sat on the other side. I didn't know. There's like another patio on the other side and that's where we sit.

Mig: 53:37

Yeah, that's where the bathroom's at the other side.

Rick: 53:41

So two spots that we recommended Um there must, must try on the list.

Lano: 53:46

You know what we're gonna try Um? We're gonna take Trevor Where's birthday where birthday's to big bear or tomorrow. No well, we're taking them camping and fishing in big bear.

Speaker 4: 53:59

Hooters no.

Lano: 54:02

We're taking them to hell's kitchen. Oh, over there in fountains and valley, I guess, the one year like halfway to San Diego. Okay, you can take them tomorrow night. So we're gonna If I'm gonna try your beef wellington. Yeah, I tried at beef wellington at the magic castle we went, but it was kind of disappointing. I was like, uh, really, so I want to try the ramsie one, ramsie one.

Mig: 54:28

Yeah, so try all that. Ramsie is number one. Yeah, so it's a ramsie restaurant and yeah, it's house.

Rick: 54:34

It's a house kitchen restaurant. It's called health kitchen.

Lano: 54:36

Yeah, it's house, it's a house kitchen, okay, so I did Vanessa found one that um found a plate on there that has the beef wellington and the scallops. So I was like, oh, yeah, we're gonna try that, so we're gonna. We're gonna because Trevor's been wanting to go try that out, so had mentioned is that let's, let's take him to the for the day of his birthday.

Mig: 54:57

Yeah, actually they will go. Oh, so we're gonna go all, all dressed up and what's the fancy fancy place?

Rick: 55:04

I don't know. I'm gonna know about the business, business casual.

Lano: 55:08

So we're gonna probably just go and slacks in the shirt. Yeah, you know let us know.

Rick: 55:12

So when we watch the show, they're always like in ties and stuff. Okay, so this is the the place where they film the show at? No, it's his restaurant, one of his restaurants, one of his restaurants.

Lano: 55:21

It's not the one that they sell, but you know they have one in vegas. Yeah, that one in vegas.

Rick: 55:26

They have a few of them because I thought you're talking about another. Um, what get your meatballs? What's the cold?

Mig: 55:34

one Capri.

Rick: 55:39

That's the difference. It's like a bar now. It's not even the they got rid of it. It's not even the, the thaian food. That was like cocktails and they still kept the name, though. No, yeah, it's called like capri cocktail.

Mig: 55:49

But I thought I still see them making food there.

Rick: 55:52

Maybe they do, maybe like Barford.

Mig: 55:53

Maybe they changed the different. Yeah, they had a pivot again after COVID.

Rick: 55:59

Figure it out, because the in-laws were like they go there all the time, and then I was like dude, I went there when the twins were there, when the twins were there and Ramsey like I met the twins. Except the restaurant.

Mig: 56:11

We make our own meatballs. Yeah, they were actually good, so they were really good.

Rick: 56:17

So this the house kitchen is like a winner one and runs that restaurant or no.

Lano: 56:22

I don't know, I don't know how they figure that out, maybe I don't know yeah.

Rick: 56:27

Well, tell me, because if it's, good.

Lano: 56:28

I'll try it.

Mig: 56:28

Yeah, I just know it probably has to be a hardcore fat of the show to know.

Lano: 56:32

It just better be on point, since if it's a damn house kitchen dude.

Rick: 56:36

No, because everybody gets on his case, but like he does it for a reason, like he don't want to kill people or get people sick, like he got to be sanitized.

Speaker 5: 56:42

Yeah.

Rick: 56:42

He only yells at them if, like you know, they're doing it wrong, like it's a but I'm, I'm, I'm talking about like in the the competition shows where, where he's getting on his chef's cases for over cooking, under cooking under seasoning

Speaker 4: 56:58

over seasoning, not doing it fast enough, you know it's like why are you thinking complete, or whatever you know, it's like this isn't right.

Mig: 57:05

You know, it's all yeah. That's what. I'm curious to see how it is, because I see a lot of Vegas people.

Speaker 5: 57:14

Uh-huh.

Mig: 57:14

Review his restaurants and some of them say he's overrated dude. Yeah, Like the one thing I thought they were going to say was really good is his pub where he does his fishing chips, and they said there's nothing special about him.

Lano: 57:29

Nothing I mean, but he's not the one. Well, that's what.

Rick: 57:33

I'm saying but I get that a lot for a lot of Vegas restaurants. But that's the thing.

Mig: 57:36

That's. That's his whole reputation. Is that everything is supposed to be as if he was there? Yeah, that's why he puts people in place to run it Like if he was there. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. It's like you're going to go to this one and, you know, I kind of almost want to tell you it's like, don't expect it to be like this, like don't go in there like an R or whatever. It's like going there objectively If it's good and say it's good If it's the best thing you've ever had to say.

Mig: 58:03

It's the best thing you've ever had.

Rick: 58:04

Yeah. You know, it feels just okay, then just okay, you know because my baby sister-in-law went to a David Chang restaurant in Vegas All those momo foocals or something like that, and they're like it's overrated.

Rick: 58:22

They're like it's overrated and I was like, well, was the food good? They're like, yeah, but it's kind of like expensive. But it's like well, well, it's going to be expensive. I mean it's going to be expensive to name, but like if the food's good and you don't mind paying the price, like you know, like tell me like was the food good? Or just because you're bad because of the price was higher than you thought, or I mean whatever.

Mig: 58:39

Yeah, you see that that's the thing You're going to go to house kitchen. Expect to pay at least $80 to $100 per person.

Rick: 58:48

Yeah, that's what Ricky's like. No matter what you order, we'll try it out and go.

Mig: 58:51

So expect that. So don't make that, as I mean, yeah, it's important for that to factor into your experience and everything, but that shouldn't be the reason why you didn't like the place.

Lano: 59:05

Yeah, I mean, you got to see, I think people just want to go because of the hype and they want to just bash it, and it's probably people that don't even know what's good. Right, yeah, they could probably just like this damn salty as damn.

Speaker 4: 59:22

Yeah.

Lano: 59:22

Steak well over, you know, well done, you know, and they don't know anything.

Mig: 59:26

That's probably out of the past. It could be someone like my dad. Yeah, always ordered his steaks. Well done, oh, always over salt some.

Rick: 59:33

Yeah, you know it's probably out of their price range to begin with, instead of like, like you're already going in there thinking like if I want to pay this much, I better get like this much food or something.

Mig: 59:43

Or we're going to, or like, or Raj, you know this, someone like Ren, which kills me, dude, kills me every time I grill, dude, and every time we've grilled up in Oakland tailgating, I would have these beautiful steaks, dude, I'm talking like either porter houses or ribbys or whatever. And we have a Rogers brother law up there with us, Ren, um Axl, and he'd be like it. Makes you know, I like it, I like dude. I'm like, please don't make me burn this thing, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, make it real, real, real burnt, real burnt. Come on, dude, I'm like you don't see what a beautiful piece of meat this is. You're going to, you're going to make me ruin it. Come on, man, Come on, man, he's like. You know, I like it, Like.

Rick: 1:00:33

God, but those are people scared to try it, Like you know.

Lano: 1:00:39

I don't know.

Mig: 1:00:40

There's a but he likes it that way, dude, no maybe they just don't like the red.

Rick: 1:00:44

Yeah, they don't like it. But I heard that's not even blood, it's just like a protein that comes out.

Mig: 1:00:48

No, it's not, but people are. So people are like loud out, she's grossed out by it, her sister, so she. She has to have it all completely well done, to the point where it's already almost dried out.

Speaker 5: 1:00:58

Yeah.

Lano: 1:01:00

Well, well, mike, mike, mike, the wifey and the boys. Of course, trevor's going to go because it's his birthday, but we're going to go, so he'll have his review too.

Rick: 1:01:11

Well, let us know, then have him call in. Hope you guys enjoy it If you figure out the damn phone system.

Lano: 1:01:16

We can talk about it.

Rick: 1:01:18

I think I could do it. Well, you got it. Now you guys are going to be calling him from there.

Lano: 1:01:23

You ready? No, no, no From no, so he can call when we're recording.

Rick: 1:01:27

Oh.

Lano: 1:01:28

So we can have him live, because we're going to have the dinner tomorrow night and then we have. We're going to go camping on the weekend, oh, so tomorrow when? So we'll have.

Rick: 1:01:37

Well, you're going to have it, and then you're going to leave the next day.

Lano: 1:01:39

Yeah, because today is Tuesday. Yeah, because of people I don't know.

Rick: 1:01:43

And I was like I was going to say Wednesday, but yeah, nah, we, we, we, we record, we broadcast two days later. Yeah, two days later.

Lano: 1:01:49

Oh, that's what. I apologize because I kind of messed up, because I was saying happy prime day yeah prime day, yeah, the other day at the show and I was like, oh, people are hearing it on Thursday and you're like, oh, prime day. And then you know it's already past.

Mig: 1:02:01

Oh, on that point I'm happy, I'm kind of messed up. Happy something. I got called out dude.

Speaker 5: 1:02:05

What.

Mig: 1:02:07

By our loyal old C listener.

Lano: 1:02:10

How they got called out for what.

Mig: 1:02:11

Well, I did. No for now for now, wishing her a happy birthday. It was October 7th, oh.

Rick: 1:02:17

Me malo. Should have gave her a shout out, yeah.

Mig: 1:02:21

Esta sonas mayanitas que nos cantan Daaay.

Rick: 1:02:26

Daaay Now speaking of beef woolington.

Lano: 1:02:30

Happy belated birthday, chick.

Speaker 5: 1:02:34

Have you ever had beef woolington?

Rick: 1:02:35

before. Have you ever had beef woolington before? Nah, I've never. I honestly like I've heard of it but I didn't know what it was until like recently. Yeah, but it's like a steak with like bread around it or something.

Mig: 1:02:46

Actually, you know what I like I have in a TJ. And that original Caesar's Hotel? Yeah, you had one there. No, well, we ordered it. Yeah, well, didn't you? You?

Rick: 1:02:57

had it then.

Mig: 1:02:58

I had it.

Rick: 1:02:59

It was good, as it was your first time, rick.

Lano: 1:03:02

No, I had it at the magic castle. Oh yeah, that's magic castle wasn't.

Mig: 1:03:06

Yeah, let me know how it is, because now I have it. Well, it was like dry or just no flavor.

Lano: 1:03:11

I did that but nah, it was good. It just didn't really Didn't wow you. Yeah, it didn't wow me and I think the bread was good, like kind of.

Rick: 1:03:25

I think it's supposed to be like croissanti, right yeah, like steaky or something.

Lano: 1:03:28

Pastry dough. I don't know if it was kind of too maybe soggy in the middle or the round of meat, but maybe it could have been meat, making it already soggy, I don't know. I just it's not memorable in my mind.

Mig: 1:03:41

Because it's the bread and it's supposed to have the like a mushroom kind of like paste. They call it a tapenade, it's like so it's mushroom, and they smear it on there Like, almost like a layer.

Lano: 1:03:57

Yeah, it was.

Mig: 1:03:58

Then they put the filet mignon in there already like seared from the pan.

Speaker 5: 1:04:02

Yeah.

Mig: 1:04:03

Then, like they wrap it, close it up and finish it in the oven and I mean, I remember it's good but Did they serve a sauce with it? Yeah, because remember, filet mignon. Even though it's super tender and everything, not much flavor in that kind of meat. It's not like a rib eye or a porterhouse or New York, you know that's got all the fat running through it, because the filet mignon doesn't have much fat running through it, so it's really kind of flavorless.

Lano: 1:04:36

I would say it's good. But I mean, I've already forgot about it, so maybe hopefully this one at Hell's Kitchen is like man. I'll be like hey, that's a limp. That Wellington was damn bomb To me. What makes it look?

Mig: 1:04:48

good is that sauce that they put on it?

Lano: 1:04:49

Yeah, that's what it's going to make it T-skun.

Mig: 1:04:54

The what.

Lano: 1:04:57

I mean, if Mark gives a review, those pork belly tacos we had the little damn sauce or whatever. The hell is like two different sauces that we put on it chili sauce or whatever I mean already those pork bellies are already cooked like crispy on the outside and like juicing the inside, and then you put that sauce on it. We got the order too, and we shouldn't have Now. We were just like, oh full, and this is all they're in Kings and queens.

Mig: 1:05:28

They have kings and queens over here.

Lano: 1:05:29

They have kings and queens over here in that whole viad. They had that kings and queens there, but they have some on this side over here.

Mig: 1:05:39

I think just went in Orange County. I wish I would remember the names of the places I eat when the times that I went. Can't remember them though.

Lano: 1:05:49

But it was good. So we'll have a review of Hell's Kitchen and then I'll let you guys know if we see a Sasquatch, I mean.

Rick: 1:05:59

Sweet.

Speaker 4: 1:05:59

Now let me know, just kidding, we don't have nothing like we didn't reserve no camping grounds.

Lano: 1:06:03

Like well, dude, let's just go.

Rick: 1:06:05

We're gonna find the spot just out there.

Lano: 1:06:06

Yeah, I mean, if we got to go deep in the woods, and we'll go deep in the woods it is what it is. You just got like tents and stuff Like yeah, We'll go over there, and just they have 24 hour fishing over there, big bear. So it's like dude, we'll just go sleep on the damn chairs that have been near the lake or whatever, but I go. Well, we'll go camping and we'll just go deep in there.

Mig: 1:06:27

Yeah.

Lano: 1:06:29

We see a Sasquatch or something.

Speaker 5: 1:06:35

We'll record it with her.

Mig: 1:06:39

We'll probably be David with his hairy we got one phone call.

Rick: 1:06:45

You want to get there.

Lano: 1:06:46

Yeah, let's get it.

Speaker 4: 1:06:54

Let's hear the hey guys this is the original G Mike. I'm calling to kind of make an education on something historical. Oh right, hypersburgers. The reality is it takes a council motion by the entire city to declare something historic and in order for that to happen, we'd have to circulate a petition and we'd have to know that Cyprus best is under threat, that that corner is under threat to be developed and that they want to knock it down. In that instance we could circulate a petition. It is enough signatures and gardeners in support of the council office to support that most important monument in our community, and then you could actually get it preserved as a historic monument. Now, that only lasts about two years, because then the developer could try and develop it if nobody tried to preserve Cyprus best.

Speaker 4: 1:07:54

To me it is an iconic structure of that original eating place where you didn't have a drive-through, where you had to go in and taste an order, and it's again. Cyprus park is important. So now you know. If you hear any threats of developing the corner, that's when we got to go into action, guys. That's when we got to go into action. Now, the last thing I wanted to know is, when you guys argue about this AO award, you're really bringing down the show. As far as I'm concerned, lionel knows that when we're doing JCCs we can do leadership training. We had a certificate of character and that meant Pudupedo and Ocaca. What I heard that said the webcast was Pudupedo and Ocaca. Thank you guys.

Lano: 1:08:51

See that we need more of your dad man to stir us in the right way.

Rick: 1:08:57

See. No well, we're brothers in this room. We try to stop. We don't take it seriously or whatever. I mean what they didn't hear outside was I mean, we're just a group here.

Mig: 1:09:16

Yeah, it's a dynamic that we have people.

Rick: 1:09:19

I mean Ricky's, the youngest one in the room, and sometimes you just have to have the baby cry.

Speaker 5: 1:09:24

Oh.

Rick: 1:09:24

God here we go.

Mig: 1:09:25

That's kidding. We can get into this next show, yeah but, now. I know what's got?

Lano: 1:09:31

to be done if they ever threaten something. Oh, Cypress, yeah.

Rick: 1:09:36

Because I think Miki had mentioned that we can't let that nothing happen to Cypress. If something was to happen, what do we do? And this is the instructions.

Lano: 1:09:44

Huh, oh, ok, we got it. Yeah, there it is peeps.

Mig: 1:09:52

We're not knowing what direction we're going to go. We got it. I'm pretty good at this, damn.

Speaker 5: 1:09:57

I love saying so myself.

Mig: 1:09:59

This is it. That was a damn good show.

Speaker 4: 1:10:04

I think we nailed it Peace.

Mig: 1:10:07

God save the queen.
