Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

Do you recall your first visit to Disneyland? The magical allure, the whimsical rides, the enchanting characters - it's an experience that stays with you for life. We dive deep into our reservoirs of nostalgia, reflecting on our earliest encounters with the House of Mickey and deliberating on the best time to introduce our children to this magical universe. We also recount our recent trip to Disneyland, sharing the ecstatic joy of our daughter's first Disneyland adventure, and the logistic nightmares and recovery weekends that characterize such family outings.

It's the holiday season, and we're all set to party! But how does one ensure a fun, safe, and memorable bash that doesn't end up in unfortunate incidents? We open up on our plans of hosting a pre-New Year's party, where we ditch the alcohol-induced chaos of New Year's Eve, replacing it with a joyous celebration swathed in ugly sweaters, comfy PJs, and a white elephant in the room (figuratively, of course!). We offer some real and practical tips to make your holiday gatherings a resounding success.

How about some culinary adventures? We turn our attention to the realm of grills and smokers, comparing the features of various tabletop grills and discussing the pros and cons of gas and electric smokers, wood-fired smokers, and those that use pellets or propane. We delve into cooking techniques and toddler-friendly meals, sharing our secrets to making the perfect turkey brine, irresistible pizza dough, and drool-worthy oatmeal. Whether you're a master chef or an amateur cook, you'll find some handy tips to spice up your cooking game. From Disneyland memories to holiday parties to culinary exploits, we've got you covered. So sit back, relax, and join us on this festive journey.

That music's coming through pretty a loud in my ear and headphones dude.

Lano:

Yeah, it's pretty high.

Miggy:

Well, sorry, bring it down a Scotch. Yeah, barely hear myself think.

Ricky:

Normally I start lowering it, but I just forgot I was turning the volume of my ear drums again. I just let it live already.

Lano:

I didn't let that for weeks.

Miggy:

I wasn't gonna say something last week, dude, but I'm like let's see if next week he lowers it, I guess not Another quick episode of prepping storms coming up.

Lano:

Oh, we got a big storm watch. I hope it comes because I don't want to work Saturday. We're supposed to do some work outside on some drains out of the parking on Saturday, oh really, so I hope it rains. We don't do it, and then how does that work?

Ricky:

The job is gonna stay late to stop rain yeah till till the next available.

Lano:

So as we're recording, next week's Thanksgiving came fast. Right, yeah Me, me, me really fast I'm getting sick and tired of these days just flying by, yeah.

Ricky:

Me. You were saying, though he's like oh crap, I gotta buy the turkey.

Lano:

Oh yeah, oh and I and that way, Lana, that way you don't talk crap later that I gave you last minute, Invite the white elephant.

Ricky:

December 30, december 30. Why? I'm not gonna tell you why. That's hard for us, but but don't worry about us, because I mean I'm just because the babies do on the 22nd, that's why it's on the same. Yeah, but why not just do the 31st and make it New Year's Like a?

Lano:

new batch. No, no, because people are going to be doing their thing.

Ricky:

But why not the 30th, the?

Lano:

30th is going to be on Saturday.

Miggy:

The 30th is New Year's Eve pregame.

Lano:

Yeah, no, I cuz I don't want to be doing a party on New Year's.

Ricky:

So the 30th is what day? Saturday? Also, new Year's Eve is on Sunday, this year.

Lano:

Yeah, yeah Well.

Ricky:

I'm looking at it.

Lano:

It'll be a good just because it's after Christmas and before New Year's, just to keep it going, because you know it's kind of like. Who said it? Um, was it Maddie? I forgot. Who said, damn, what was it? Mark, yeah, I think it was Mark. Mark said yeah because between Christmas and New Year's is kind of like.

Lano:

I'm not sure if it was Mark but someone said like yeah, it's kind of like like a downer kind of, because like you're in between the holidays, so it's kind of like nothing's going on and kind of like a down time.

Ricky:

Well, it's like they're a week separated, right, the two holidays?

Lano:

Yeah, so it'll be it'll be good to um just have like a one. One more thing before the New Year. The year ends.

Miggy:

Yeah, I mean, because I mean I know you're saying that everybody's gonna have their New Year's plans. Right, it's like. But for whoever doesn't really want to do stuff New Year's, you know they don't like going on. New Year's, that'll be good.

Lano:

But and then New Year's. It's just like how we we didn't. We stopped getting together on New Year's just because of the shooting and everyone out drunk and driving. So we started like the New Year's.

Miggy:

Day.

Ricky:

Yeah right Like. For me, new Year's was just like everyone was just staying at home. That way, everybody's home safe. Yeah, it wasn't a big go out there, big party.

Miggy:

My wife's family.

Ricky:

It's a big day like that, but I grew up it wasn't like that, like you said, because of the shootings or the drivers on the street.

Lano:

So it's just a very so imagine if I wouldn't have that like on Saturday, on Sunday the years everybody's out.

Lano:

And then you know we're, we're partying, we're drinking and all this, and then that's true. No, I don't want to. I don't want to have that. So the 30th on Saturday and it falls on Saturday, so it's good. So, and I'm thinking I was gonna, I was gonna talk to Vanessa and Mark and Manny. I wonder if we should do it, do it like it's the white elephant, right, right, and if we should do it like ugly sweater.

Miggy:

The ugly sweater. Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, people are still celebrating like Christmas.

Lano:

Yeah, it's after Christmas, maybe when I do the invite. Ugly sweater, ugly sweater slash white elephant slash white elephant.

Ricky:

That'll work and that makes it more like to me, more comfortable.

Miggy:

Yeah.

Ricky:

Well.

Miggy:

I mean, could you do it like the Halloween party? You know you have a custom contest.

Ricky:

Yeah you can have the ugly sweater contest yeah, but just knowing like you're just gonna put on a sweater, like I'm a in-laws. We spend like PJ parties where it's just like everybody just shows up in their PJs.

Lano:

Yeah we've had those.

Ricky:

You just don't like. You don't have to worry, you just already like relaxed or whatever.

Miggy:

Yeah, so Christmas Eve is like that for us. Yeah, I think that's what. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we Christmas Eve. For a while there We've been doing just everybody show up in their PJs, it's like everybody's so used to showing up all like dressed up and everything it's like no, I was like everybody. By the time. Everybody opens up the gifts and everything. Everybody's so tired and everything. I just show up in your PJs.

Ricky:

But then it got to the point where, like people are bringing two pairs of clothes, like they're dressed up clothes and they're they're comfortable after, then like listen to that Now.

Miggy:

it's just the comfortable clothes of PJs.

Ricky:

I'm just looking at the Instagram and I'm seeing that jump out of and it's like that season's coming around with the rain.

Lano:

Do you want?

Ricky:

Lano:

I'm gonna be here next week.

Ricky:

Well, yeah, well, after the next time we record, I'll bring you some.

Lano:

I'll bring you some from the bakery.

Ricky:

I get it from that spin like the one, you turn, mind you, no, no, no you haven't turned the one I make it on and I think you talked about I think you said you messed up at one time or something like that. It was two- years.

Miggy:

I burned it. Last year I messed up and I burned the damn chump. What I don't make that same mistake this year.

Ricky:

So you're cooking Thanksgiving?

Lano:

Yes, and you're going out of town, Ricky. Yeah, I'll be out of town. I'll be out of town for Thanksgiving. I'll be in Costa Rica.

Miggy:

You got your passport Turkey for you.

Lano:

Before we move ahead from the White Alpha oh sorry, Makes gotta smoke two turkeys.

Miggy:

I gotta smoke two turkeys.

Lano:

You know what I?

Miggy:

got a smoke one for our Thanksgiving.

Lano:

You know what Mark was saying, how I mentioned a trigger? Yeah, he said no, get a pit boss.

Miggy:

A pit boss.

Lano:

Yeah, and they're not that expensive. But that'll help out with the light, like that'd be a lot better for to smoke. So I don't know if we should try to.

Ricky:

Let's not say that you get the trigger. No no.

Lano:

But, but but Mark saying to get up, it's a pit boss, right I?

Miggy:

guess.

Lano:

Is that what he?

Miggy:

said it's electric.

Lano:

No, I don't think so.

Ricky:

Is that it right there? Well, this is pit boss. Is the brand here up in the corner?

Lano:

Yeah.

Ricky:

But is it this vertical one or this combo?

Lano:

It's part of the vertical one.

Ricky:

What do you?

Lano:

think yeah, I mean no vertical one, I mean it all depends on the space.

Miggy:

You know we're. We're gonna keep at your house, or yeah.

Lano:

Yeah.

Ricky:

I mean, I mean, there's not to be nothing.

Lano:

Nothing I mean, I mean pricey.

Ricky:

I mean, how much was the trigger?

Lano:

What are the?

Ricky:

same prices.

Lano:

No 299. We don't need nothing that big. Where's that one?

Ricky:

Pit boss. Well, this is a tabletop grill. Oh, some of these are grills. Let me see.

Lano:

Black Friday.

Miggy:

I would say it's all. The ones are like the one palette.

Lano:

Yeah, oh, I thought I had a small one, that one in the middle.

Ricky:

Yeah, doesn't say this by now. Let me see.

Miggy:

That's a small one. Do two turkeys.

Ricky:

Oh yeah, yes I think the turkey in there A vertical one.

Lano:

What do you think? How about that? We're doing two of them. You get the two of them right now and now, when that shop vertical one. Oh, what are those?

Ricky:

Oh, the cheapest one, I mean this one. I know gas vertical to 49.

Lano:

Yeah, and then you would think the, the, the pallets are more expensive. You would think the gas is more expensive.

Miggy:

no, they haven't shopped them.

Ricky:

I don't know, I think gas is a cheaper one. Palates, you gotta buy them because it's more like authentic flavors and stuff. Oh well, find out what which one.

Lano:

I look those are. Those are all like 200. I want to do the gas?

Miggy:

The gas ones are cheaper because, right, the electric ones are gonna have all the components in it too. Yeah more bells and whistles and shit.

Lano:

So I like as far as a slugger as as far as a smoker, you want the palates right, cuz you can mess with the flavors like that.

Miggy:

I mean you can mess with the flavors regardless, or how? About when? When I smoke the turkeys last year, I Use the combination of hickory, cherry and apple.

Lano:

Yeah, so why no? So pit boss, or I got asked mark again. But why do we even want a gas one?

Ricky:

because you want to do it naturally with, with, with the wood so an electric is plug in, um gas is propane, and then what ones?

Lano:

like a match right, cuz we want. That's what you want to do, right.

Miggy:

Yeah, well, I mean the. The original ones are the ones that have the hot box off to the side. So those are the ones that are wood fired. And those are the ones that are really difficult, because you really got to keep an eye on everything. Yeah, the wood you have to baby it because the temperatures fluctuate like hot cold.

Ricky:

You got to throw more wood or less wood, all that stuff.

Lano:

The wood pellet, one, that's how you were doing in the damn barbecue.

Miggy:

Yeah, yeah, okay the wood pellet ones are the ones they're just set it and forget it, you know. And the gas ones are pretty much the same too. But let's propane so much said and forget it cuz you still had like kind of like monitor, the, the smoke coming out and the pellets and stuff you know.

Ricky:

So, I Out the new thing smoking.

Miggy:

Everyone liked everybody like to smoke better. I mean it was juicier, and everybody, everybody says it the smoke goes away to go.

Lano:

So no, I already know I just got two fires sitting there in a box down.

Ricky:

Oh, two for a zone, yeah, that's, that's um.

Lano:

Yes, one of them is yours, dude.

Ricky:

No, no, no, no, because I mean I would want one more. Um, I Mean I think it's what? Ten years old, I want something more modern.

Miggy:

Good luck fighting the dude. You're gonna find nothing but air fryer.

Lano:

Yeah, it's all air fries now.

Ricky:

So the what's some this egg doesn't. I mean, I seen these eggs, are these? And then I was looking at this one time cuz it was cheap. This some master built like.

Lano:

Um, that was to 218. I won't do that right there.

Ricky:

Yeah. So, master built smoke I think.

Lano:

I think that's what we got to do right there. How are you gonna do? You're gonna do the the one further for the house in the barbecue.

Miggy:

Yeah, the way they last year okay, cuz he should be.

Lano:

I mean, I'll be easy cuz you, just focus on one right out there.

Miggy:

Yeah, you're doing everything there.

Ricky:

Cuz I had seen this on Amazon one time.

Miggy:

I mean, really the key to it is the brain. It's getting the turkey brain. Then the thing is is I found it on Amazon, the one I used last year, so they're still available and I'm gonna order them again.

Lano:

Are you gonna get turkeys from solo?

Miggy:

I don't know, because a lot of times when he, when he gives me the turkeys, he gives me kind of late and they take forever to defrost Mmm. So I was like by this weekend I want to well, if he can give you, I'm get.

Lano:

Get to them for the For the white outfit usually he gives us to.

Miggy:

He gives me one and gives many one, but I mean regardless, some either way I gonna. Well, can we need one for the house?

Ricky:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah yeah no, at one time, for a beginner, I was looking at this one, cuz it's like 180 night and just to like learn how to do it.

Lano:

We're still waiting for our pizza.

Ricky:

Oh. Yeah summer pass. We were and we were making pizza. But the thing is a pizza like you got to eat it right on the spot, because then it gets like cold right away by the time. So like I would make the pizzas right, cook them, put them out there and by the time I finished cleaning up and like packing away the oven and I go inside to eat, it was already like cold.

Lano:

So then, why weren't you? So then I was like, well, as you're making them as we make it.

Ricky:

We started like eating it this and that, but then like, like I just like to, like you know, pack up and have the oven ready so I don't have to clean up later. But but the pizza is like you got to eat it fresh, like right away, but we're still I'm gonna make some more we're still mastering the dough. I think we got to let it rest more because it would like it would shrink too much. Every time we would stretch out, it will shrink again, but we're still mastering it.

Ricky:

But, I got in better at it because I've been becoming a flower tortilla master. Relax, relax and I've been making some, some flower to deal. I've been making them about every every every Sunday I make some batch for the week.

Miggy:

Just because you're your toddler child, they know no better. God wasn't up. It doesn't mean you're a master.

Ricky:

And she just loves with butter or quesadillas, and then I just tried. That's why I feed her during the week. But, um, so I think I'm gonna start. I'm gonna take over the boat, the dough making, over my wife.

Miggy:

Just start making the pizza dough If you give her, if you give her a rocket, she choose on. That she's gonna love that.

Lano:

So when I'm getting that, you just feed her nothing but like bread, man. No, I mean I'm, I'm because the last, the last show, you said that when she wakes up on Saturday mornings they just make her toast. And then now you, hey, you just make your third, or tears with butter on it. Well, butter or like oh Me, I'll make it a bean and cheese burritos for a while, but then I ran out of beans.

Ricky:

I gotta make, make another pot. Well, I gotta buy some beans and make a pot.

Miggy:

Well, you know why you ran out of cuz you don't live long enough cooking.

Ricky:

Yeah, but no, you just set that like something quick to go to. I mean, no meal, like She'll she, like she gets tired of it, like show you the one day, but then when I eat at the next day, how are you preparing it? Let's just in instant. Whatever you put the hot water in the mixer, I'm not making some.

Lano:

Why don't? Why don't?

Miggy:

you get.

Lano:

Why don't you get the?

Miggy:

get some bananas? Yeah, mash them up.

Ricky:

You make the old meal because she loves banana.

Miggy:

She'll just eat a banana like you do it with water, with milk.

Ricky:

Oh, I do milk, and if I have milk, then if not, I use water.

Miggy:

Okay, so you do the water or you do the milk. Huh, you do put the whole meal under but it's instant from an envelope. Yeah, man don't do that in some stuff. I just think crappy you get up.

Lano:

It's not like a little get old fashion ones they're.

Miggy:

Let it cook on the stove for like that's why she's getting tired of it. And then what you do is you throw some bananas in there, you sprinkle some cinnamon, you know, you let it come to whatever comes to. You know, maybe a little bit of brown sugar for a little more sweetness.

Lano:

No, instead of the brown sugar, instead of brown sugar, get you, like you said, the old-fashioned oats, yeah, and. And instead of using milk, I I am get organic apple juice and doing an organic apple juice and that'll give you the little sweetness in it, the cloudy, that cloudy apple juice, and it's good. And then do it, like the you say, with the bed, smash bananas and all that, maybe a little bit of spinces, cinnamon.

Miggy:

But that way you're not putting any sugar in it.

Lano:

Use that organic.

Miggy:

I mean, even you went to like to cut down because I know the milk has like sugar in it and, um, to try to cut down on the sugars, I'll do it with water, but still with banana and the cinnamon and everything I like. Put a little bit of agave syrup, put a little bit of agave syrup in it and when do you get that at? Where do you get that at?

Ricky:

The store.

Miggy:

They have it. Yeah, man. Well, maybe I'm not doing it right but I'm not, you're not, you're definitely not doing it right.

Ricky:

Well, the thing is, I'm not like a big oatmeal person myself.

Lano:

Well, do it for your child, dude. Look up some recipes.

Ricky:

If I don't like it, I don't make it for my kid, but I'm not doing all that stuff.

Lano:

you guys are asking.

Miggy:

So, that could be the reason why I'm not a big oatmeal fan.

Ricky:

You don't make your wheaty co-eval either. Yeah, yeah, I do that.

Lano:

Lier Because he's a gore. He likes that. He likes that.

Miggy:

You don't make him that bacon wrapped torta.

Ricky:

Like like mummy or what.

Lano:

But I'll make it. This guy said that's too much. I'll make it next time, like all of us are. I know Mr Pateed over here.

Ricky:

I mean, I think it looked really big.

Lano:

I was. I'm kind of pissed that we didn't see that when we were in Vegas. Man, I didn't see that, that that Instagram clip.

Ricky:

But that was in Vegas.

Lano:

Yeah, there's one in Vegas, I think, and then there's one in San Diego, so I'm thinking about man taking a ride over there. But but yeah, you're, you're definitely not doing the oatmeal, right.

Ricky:

Man, I guess I'll try all that stuff.

Lano:

You'll probably like because.

Ricky:

I'm not a big. I don't, I'm not a big oatmeal.

Lano:

Well, that, because you've been just eating it with, like that, with water dude, that's it, mine is just like you know that stuff that comes in the envelope is crap, open the envelope you actually pour the envelope with the different flavors? Is that what you're talking about?

Ricky:

Brown sugar or maple or whatever. You pour the water into the envelope, like to the little line pour it in the cup and then you put it in the microwave for whatever 30 seconds.

Lano:

Yeah, you're wet.

Ricky:

That's it. I'm not doing um, still cut oats or or put it on the stove or anything, cause that seemed like a like a big batch of oatmeal and I'm just making it for her, I'm making it for yourself.

Lano:

That's why I'm not going to Well, you wet her, you make it for you and her.

Ricky:

But yeah, I stopped by the Troy man and bought some churrisos. So we've been eating churrisos this week, but some churrisos, but she likes it. She always gives me like the like, not the thumbs up, but the head nod like this is good, daddy, this is not what mom makes, but she loves my cooking. She's my favorite, my favorite, my biggest fan cooking she's her own best.

Miggy:

I experiment a lot.

Ricky:

I experiment a lot with my cooking that my wife doesn't really like too much, but but the baby likes it.

Miggy:

Well, I would. I would love to hear this, or take on this, and if you guys would be so kind as to call the hotline, what's that hotline number?

Ricky:

Lano the hotline. We got no calls, but I just told them maybe we haven't been sharing the number 323-207-0012.

Miggy:

That's 323-207-0012. Call it people.

Ricky:

And I got to start. Um, I got to make some shirts with the hotline number on it.

Miggy:

This guy has another child on the way, so he needs to learn how to make more than just a oatmeal from an envelope and um whack tortillas, that's that's my, my.

Ricky:

My fan base is in a double Now with the second baby coming, so it's going to grow.

Lano:

It's going to grow by when?

Miggy:

So once the baby's here, people, the show will be off the air, because if this guy was barely able to hold this show together with one child, yeah it's over. With two, it's over. So it was a. It was a good run. Why the last? It's so?

Ricky:

that's what I was going to start telling you. We got to start, like um recording some episodes, put it in the bank, so when, when the baby comes, we have one ready to to pop out or to broadcast or whatever, why don't you just become a house husband, fool yeah.

Ricky:

That that I mean. That that'd be nice, that'd be the dream With um. So we were talking about um season three, going on video and um. I was like thinking and recording and then putting them on YouTube. But would you guys want like live streaming or just like recorded on YouTube for later?

Ricky:

I think at first had to be record record record and then we do live later down the road, Cause when I was listening to the episode at Mark's, I heard him say live stream as far as like show and show content, I'm really thinking it matters.

Miggy:

You know, the only thing is, uh, interacting with people.

Lano:

But because you do live.

Ricky:

You do live if we're doing it like late, like right now we're going to be listening right now and then, and then we're like. We're always like we'll have different start times all the time.

Miggy:

Yeah, exactly. And then people are going to be like, wanting to consistent, start timing everything and we can't be consistent, you know so.

Ricky:

Yeah, no, I'm glad you guys feel, feel that way, so you're going to be okay.

Lano:

You're okay with showing everybody the how messy the studio is?

Ricky:

Yeah, Are you going to want to like?

Lano:

dim it, dim it low and then put like candles around.

Miggy:

Are you going to cover it in green background and make it like a death row studio?

Ricky:

Well, I mean we'll have the lights dim, or I'm like some spotlight on us have to pocket the background and then it'll be like close ups or floating heads.

Lano:

Well, it will be like the green screen, then you could put us like if we're out in space.

Ricky:

Yeah, I'll put some stuff behind us. I mean I can. I mean the green screens will be easy, the curtains behind us, just cause I was thinking of for for streaming and then for like recording, two different cameras, and now the cameras I was thinking were for recording for my background.

Lano:

I want to be in a hunting force.

Ricky:

Yeah, we want to put some different type of lighting on your guys screen screen. I wanted to put it just so it looks like we're like looking at each other. Right now we have our backs.

Lano:

Well, I mean, that's the way you set up the studio, dude.

Ricky:

Well, I mean it's because it makeshift, but I've been thinking like when, let's say, we move, I'm going to build a studio like a dedicated room, but I was trying to think like how to set up the tables and are you going to build it?

Lano:

Are you going to build it like you build your your golf range?

Ricky:

Well, the studio, the studio replaced the golf range. Yeah Right, when, when I was breaking ground on the golf range, I had the idea like build a studio, it's switched.

Miggy:

There's supposed to be a golf range out there, right where we're standing Right where we're standing.

Ricky:

Oh, this is going to be a giant a giant net.

Lano:

Make sure you get in a big enough studio so we have a golf simulator we can practice in our game.

Ricky:

Those things are like nine thousand bucks, that's alright, let's sell a couple more t-shirts. Simulation yeah, because there's a YouTube.

How would you do it back in the day?

Ricky:

I would have to squeeze in the late lunch and early lunch.

Lano:

How many houses would you hit up?

Ricky:

I think the most was just like four. One day oh it was four I think I would stop by, I think my family would be the earliest, and I'd stop by yours after and then meet up with G and stop by his and go somewhere else.

Lano:

Danny's or something Danny's or Roswell, yeah.

Ricky:

These two kids call them Just be munching everywhere. I mean winning, like with but honestly, you guys want to know who had the best food. Your mom's opinion? The stuffing the stuffing alone, man. And then as the later it got, the more like Thanksgiving Dinner, like menu changed, like it wasn't like you guys, was like traditional, like my parents, your friends were traditional with the turkeys and later got like they weren't even having turkeys. Will be like more Like Mexican food, like just dinner.

Lano:

Not too much, because it's still stuffing Like the steam broccoli. We talk about us.

Ricky:

No, as the houses I went on. Oh, like the different families I would eat after. It was less like traditional turkey and stuff the more like.

Miggy:

Because I can't think of not one Mexican thing served that With the Thanksgiving.

Lano:

Honestly, I like the rice, the rice with corn.

Miggy:

They wouldn't have turkey and stuff between, between the my mom stuffing which is legendary Her mashed potatoes, which are equally legendary. That's what everybody goes for yeah, stuffing the mashed potatoes and the stuffing Turkey is really like an afterthought. I Mean it comes out good, but I don't really think everybody goes.

Lano:

I Don't know what it is with the with the steam broccoli to man with the cream.

Miggy:

Yeah, Cheese right or no sour cream. Oh, it's not like she's just no, she just gets us she's, she steams the sour, the broccoli, but I think she needs it too long. But I mean, that's what we're used to.

Lano:

I like it.

Miggy:

It's supposed to have something, a little bit of crunch, supposed to be a little hard, but like really, I like the way it is. Yeah, that's just what we're used to. But I mean, you guys, other chefs or whatever, and they'll say it's over cut, but whatever, that's what we grew up on and that's what we know. And she'll do her like sour cream, like kind of sauce. So just thin it out a little bit with some milk and a little bit of salt and Just yeah the damn.

Lano:

Stuffing the mashed potatoes, the steamed broccoli and those little rolls dude, I didn't roll those little rolls.

Ricky:

But they're not. Are they from scratch?

Lano:

Lano:

Oh wait, oh, you went to a win at Disneyland. Disneyland, how was it? What did you say? That was Ellie's first day, first time at Disneyland at least first time at Disney now. Wait, wait, did you guys last the whole time to the closed.

Ricky:

No, I, we tried, we tried.

Lano:

You couldn't do it, huh.

Ricky:

No, so like we knew, it was a different kind of trip, because I mean my wife's a month pregnant. Yeah so she can't get on any rights, you know Ellie's, you know a year in eight months so she can't get on the right. So, like I knew, like the stuff that, like you know, I haven't been on the Guardians, I haven't been on Star Wars and I knew I wasn't gonna go go on those rides because Guardians of the Galaxy is in California adventure, though. Yeah, well, we had the park hopper.

Lano:

Oh, did you do? Oh, man, you should have gone and gone that corn dog dude or the California adventure.

Ricky:

Well, I didn't get the corn dog. Oh man, dude, I had asked you before the trip what's your turn? You blinked out.

Lano:

No, you asked me about that.

Ricky:

The drink, the drink so we went to Disneyland.

Lano:

So yeah, but you know what you're gonna get that drink when, when Laura can't drink, so yeah, so it was more gonna be a trip for my daughter.

Ricky:

So like we're just gonna do like the little rides, and you know how I'm see the characters and stuff.

Miggy:

Oh, so like I knew, but like we haven't been there in a long time, I Was gonna ask you guys that, what, what's like the earliest memory you have of like childhood?

Miggy:

The earliest yeah, because I mean, the thing is, it's like they always like the like this I mean I'm gonna get in trouble for this but especially the women. They always want to make such huge, gigantic deals over Birthday number one, birthday number two. You know, let's take him to Disneyland while they're six months old or whatever you know. And it's like they can remember. It's like why, why you gotta force it in, don't remember another stuff, you know. It's like why make such a huge gigantic deal about it? Well, you know, it's like, yeah, like how their party is stuff forever, but just doing like a regular party, you know, and like how the pictures there to so we can look back at it in everything. But it's like to me it's almost like a waste to take the kid this young Because she's not gonna remember at least To she's, not even to me, right to she's a year, year and a month.

Ricky:

Now she's not gonna remember, but right now, like this is what she's into, like she's watching all the like the Moana, all the stuff.

Lano:

I think I can only go back to when I was Barely hopping the fence.

Ricky:

She's what.

Miggy:

She's watching me now, so she's into me now because, because I think about it and I think about those first trips that we took to to Disneyland and I don't remember, really remember, any trips to Disneyland and so like, maybe I was like ten years old.

Lano:

No, no, I remember, I Remember trips, not not Ali. No, I mean, I remember cuz I remember. I remember I kind of remember the, the trips we took to the Ali zoo, you know, and I was, I wasn't like, I was probably like six or seven.

Ricky:

Yeah, no cuz my grandma.

Miggy:

It's like that's when the memory start to trigger, like after five, five, six years old. Yeah you know. But they said they're always saying it's like, oh what, I guess I would they remember this number. It's like I don't wow, I mean, I got a bad memory. I'm notoriously bad for having a bad memory, so I'm like Well, no, I'm telling you like probably the only thing that remembers hopping that fence.

Lano:

Yeah because then, by the time I was in kindergarten, I was, I was out of there.

Ricky:

So you what the Disney? Oh, oh, you, could you come home?

Miggy:

You said, for yeah it's like the only the only time I remember Disneyland was like when I was older and I would look forward to like rides that I wanted to get on this. Like I wanted to get on big Thunder Mountain, you know I wanted to get on on the Matterhorn, you know, it's like Space Mountain was always one that scared me because I don't know what it was. You know you? Just you're screaming and screaming. It's like I, you know, I remember being in line and I panicked and I got out of line.

Ricky:

And then they try you go out, this exit like sound, like a chicken.

Lano:

So how did? How did Ali React to everything?

Ricky:

well, that's what I was saying, like I don't think she's gonna remember, but right now she's into like Minnie Mouse, like she was Minnie Mouse for Halloween.

Miggy:

So so I mean the.

Lano:

Moment.

Ricky:

Yeah, I mean the moment.

Miggy:

I'm sure they react, you know, to what they're seeing on TV or whatever, but I Mean that's what I'm saying, you know. It's like they want to make such a big deal about taking them when they're young and it's like I'd rather take them when they can appreciate it more, like when they can remember, I mean.

Ricky:

I mean my goal is to take her or both of them once a year. So I mean, that's just a personal Wow.

Lano:

Maybe you just don't know, maybe you don't know what happens to a kid when they're not taking at that age.

Ricky:

You know they go to us.

Miggy:

Well, that's why I'm asking you Cuz I don't mean. I'm notoriously bad with my memory, maybe they end up with bad memory.

Ricky:

Yeah.

Lano:

They end up with an emptiness, then they hate the world. Yeah because they never when we'll see Mickey Mouse when they were two.

Miggy:

Then they end up setting fire to shut down freeways, yeah.

Ricky:

So she was Minnie Mouse Rowling, sorry, and then she's watching the Disney Minnie Mouse. So I asked her um, you want to go meet Minnie Mouse? She's like, yeah, yeah, like okay, I'm gonna take you. So then what just happened? We had like a Thursday off, so they let's go to, let's try to see, we go to Disney, because I wasn't sure how that Reservation thing worked and and luckily we're able to buy tickets and find them that day, because we just bought them, like maybe like four days before we left, like we bought them the Saturday before the Thursday. Now did you see Minnie Mouse? We saw Minnie Mouse.

Miggy:

Ricky:

We didn't like. By the time we're, like you know, parking and the car pool didn't help? No, there's car on the five.

Miggy:

I didn't notice it. After 25 years they finally got that car pulled out and you didn't take it right in the ticket range. Disney even has its own exit off the car pool dude.

Ricky:

Mmm, you know I was looking for that cuz I remember doing it one time, but I didn't. I didn't take advantage of it, but I had the car like on autopilot, so I wasn't even you said you were asleep, your freaking magical Tesla didn't recognize it.

Miggy:

There was a car pulling that you could take in and down there. A lot earlier Got any more memories for your daughter and now you're gonna ruin her cuz. She could add an extra five minutes of memories, but so I'm showing you guys the pictures on the phone.

Ricky:

So she went straight to um, so we get there at 845.

Lano:

She's a smile boy and kiss the mini. That's cool, so we get there.

Ricky:

She didn't get scared. Huh, she was scared, she was happy. She's saying many issues. Pointed at her shirt and you shatter ears on and everything.

Lano:

Ricky:

This year we went straight.

Miggy:

Oh, she remembers it.

Ricky:

We got there it's already 845 so we go straight to um toontown because that's where mini lives, we go. We wait in. The line was 30 minutes and we told ourselves like we're not gonna do any lines longer than 30 minutes because I Don't think um Ali could wait that long, starts getting antsy and start doing everything. So we saw many, we saw Mickey she was having fun and then the railroad line was like an hour and 40 minutes for the railroad.

Ricky:

That's the one the minis Mickey's railroad. That's the one you had. That queue Do you want on Ricky?

They're like you know she's pregnant and get her food right away. So so what do you want to eat? So then she her favorite spot to eat, like because she's, because this is the the, the pasta Alfredo at the pizza port which is in Tomorrowland. So from to town we walk all the way to Tomorrowland to get this pizza over here, this pasta which was good. So you get this pasta right here and then now it's already.

Lano:

No, oh so she's asleep, like, okay, we can't. We can't like go on any lines to get any rides, cuz like we don't want to wake her up, cuz you wake her up on a bad mood, she'll be grouchy the rest of the day. So we're just like, okay, let's go.

Lano:

That's when. That's when you just got to go like on the Jungle rider.

Ricky:

That's hot, so then we keep walking and then now we're, we're trying all these food stops that people are recommending, like on YouTube and stuff.

Ricky:

But like you still see like idiots just waiting in line, like just to order food, and I don't understand why, like I Don't know if they don't have the app or what, but Like they're what they're spending. Like you know waiting line for 30 minutes just to order food. Or like we're just like ordering phones and picking it up.

Yeah, so now we start walking here. We take you guys are all worn out. Yeah, she's ready to go and like with the park destroyer, like carrier and like. So the shortest line was Ariel's adventure from little mermaid. She gets on that. One Love it. We start making our way over here.

Miggy:

She wakes up moving like Rick flair we get on the ins inside out, right.

Ricky:

It's like they take her up on some some like Some, some right where it spins and they take her up in the air like, like a marble and she's just, she's like saying the executive of Mickey saying this Whoo. Let me see where I can find it. So she spins on this ride. She loves it. Then we come down, we take her to the Ferris wheeler wheel. She gets on that.

Ricky:

Miggie's that, even looking at her, so that's her first ride. You should shoot it to the TV, bit Screaming, she's screaming, wow. So she's just ready to go. So that's our, like her fourth ride. And then, luckily she started like reaching, like she was reading the the height requirement on a bunch of them, but no shoes. I guess. Just see that little face, I'll happen.

Miggy:

Everything's worth it. That's probably more for you guys.

Lano:

Yeah.

Ricky:

So then it's nighttime, we go to Cars Land to get the our mac and cheese. The cars right is the lines too big so we don't get on that one. And then by this time me and Laura were like we do the dancing cars when they dance around and then spin, and then we jump on the maters, something. We get on that. And then so like we're, we're already like me, laura trying to wipe out, and Laura's like let's keep going, longer, keep going. I was like all right. So she's like let's go back to Disneyland.

Ricky:

So from there it's like 730, we head back to Disneyland. We go now we're at the, the little kids area of Fantasyland and all that stuff. We go on that Casey's railroad. We wait on that line Now keep in mind, like after carrier for like 30 minutes, while we wait in line each time because you have to park the strollers. So we get on the Casey's railroad and then my wife just tells me she's like I'm done. So it's like a third, sweetest.

Ricky:

We cross over from 730 to 730. So we just we cross over from 730 to Disneyland and it's like 815. She's like I'm finished. And then we ask Ali, you ready to go home? And she's like, yeah, they're like, okay, let's just go. And then you know it takes you about, like to walk out of the park like another, like 45 minutes just to get to the car, riding the trams, and then we drive home, get home by like 9, 9, 30, 9, 45. That was on Thursday. We had Friday off for Bedford Street and then Saturday, sunday, dude, that that trip wiped us out the whole weekend, wiped us out the whole, our whole 40. We can wipe this out, but it was worth it looking at the pictures. And then she's this. Now she's like let's go see many, many miles again. So let's go to many. And like, no, no, that's only once a year.

Lano:

Yeah, that's what, that's what I mean, that's what it's for. You guys have that, the photos, the videos of her. Then, who never, who knows, like when you, when you show her when she's older, maybe she'll recall like man, so like literally Recall and right now we're watching the Pixar movies.

Ricky:

So like it was fun for her like to see the Pixar characters and the rides and stuff. So yeah, I wish you think that's real, so that's good.

Lano:

Well, that was success. You guys had a lot of treats.

Ricky:

Yeah, but we're just tired, burnt out. We'll have a quick show next week for.

Lano:
