Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

Strap yourselves in for a nostalgia trip as we journey back to simpler times. Ever been left out of the turkey leftovers club after a Thanksgiving feast? Ricky certainly felt the sting this year and it sparked a delightful debate about the merits of pre-made meals versus traditional home-cooked ones. From the joys of winter bundling and fireplace magic, we weave our way through childhood Christmas memories, reminiscing about how changing technology is shaping new traditions. 

Have you ever found solace in the smell of gasoline or the taste of envelope glue? Well, you're in good company. We dive into a hilarious discussion on sensory experiences, our evolving tastes and how even the most mundane tasks - like paying bills - can become quite the conversation starter. We stir the pot further with a passionate debate on the distinct flavors and aromas of coffee and cigars, and share how our senses have been altered post-COVID-19. 

Now, who doesn't love the sound of an ice cream truck? We're sharing our favorite treats and childhood toys, lamenting the decline of traditional playthings in favor of digital ones. We also touch on our recent adventures in Costa Rica and give you a sneak peek into our new merch line-up. And just for good measure, we discuss iconic Christmas films - both old and new - guaranteed to sweep you off your feet and wrap you in a cozy blanket of Yuletide nostalgia. So pull up a chair, grab your headphones, and prepare for a wild ride filled with laughter, shared memories, and the warm fuzzies.

Miggy:

Well, welcome back to the Drifting on Arroyo podcast. This is Mig, it's Lano.

Lano:

RK six seven.

Miggy:

Anybody got a turkey hangover?

Ricky:

Man.

Lano:

I got so lucky. My mom saved me a plate. I didn't think I was going to have any of my mom's turkey, because I was in Costa Rica last week. I missed.

Miggy:

Yeah, there wasn't much left over.

Lano:

No, she saved me. Very good, I'm going to save me a plate.

Speaker 4:

Also, she intentionally this is for Ricky Put it aside for the baby, for her baby, yep.

Miggy:

Yep, yep.

Speaker 4:

How did it?

Lano:

reheat. Was it good man? I think it was delicious.

Speaker 4:

So you ate it Sunday or Saturday. You came home.

Lano:

I came home Saturday night and I went over Sunday. Sunday, then make on Sunday.

Speaker 4:

That's the thing for me, I guess, was, I mean not disappointed, but so both the families I went to well, my parents we celebrated on On Saturday because she had a procedure during the week, so we did that Saturday and then I went to the in-laws on Thursdays, but on both sides. My other in-law this came back from international trips so she wasn't able to cook dinner and prepare. So we ordered like prep meal, like takeout, not takeout, but you know, like a turkey, you know Thanksgiving special from someplace on both places.

Lano:

They make the whole meal.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, like I guess, whatever you are, they ordered turkey and like those hash browns and mac and cheese, but the thing I missed it was like no leftovers, no leftovers, why don't?

Lano:

you step up and make a meal yourself, dude. I mean, do we have to make like three turkeys to have leftovers, because there's not usually any?

Miggy:

leftovers anymore?

Lano:

Or is this the turkeys that are making them small?

Miggy:

Well, that's what happened this year, Because for as long as we've been working and we've had this one particular customer and that's been our longest tenured customer he's always given us turkeys for Thanksgiving and the thing is he finds big turkeys. You know, like not what you're going to find in the market. In the market, the biggest you'll find is maybe 18, maybe 20 if you're lucky pound, and our customer, almost every year without fail, was giving us 25 to 26 pound turkeys.

Speaker 4:

And those are um Tom's right, tom's yeah.

Miggy:

And, um, this year, you know well, for one thing, he didn't, uh, he didn't offer, like, he didn't tell me if I got my turkeys yet. And I don't like going to bother him and asking him like, hey, you know, is there, are you going to give me a turkey this year? You know, I don't want a son like that.

Ricky:

Yeah.

Miggy:

You know. So I just waited until he offers me the turkey.

Speaker 4:

He's the owner or he's just like uh-huh.

Miggy:

And um, so on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, when we were finishing up there, one of the managers asked us if we picked up our turkeys because there were like some left over and they were all counted for. Yeah, and they were trying to figure out who the ones were that they were there.

Miggy:

Oh, who they were, who they belonged to and we told them well, I don't know. I mean, we usually get some every year, you know, but they didn't tell us anything this year. And so they went in there and they investigated and like, yeah, you know, those are yours, but when they brought them out there were still there were only 18 pound turkeys.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, so, so, um, uh, like, what's the big one? Normally 25 pounds, yeah, 25, 26 pounds. And tell me how much. How much does the turkey cost nowadays? I don't even know, because I haven't bought a turkey in a while.

Miggy:

Well, I bought because I didn't want to wait for, you know, to be given those turkeys. So I bought two of them at Walmart. One was an 18 pound, one was a 16 pound and it came out to like 40 some dollars.

Ricky:

For. Both.

Miggy:

For both like 45, 49 dollars. I think it showed us like a dollar 68 a pound.

Speaker 4:

Which is not bad for, like a Thanksgiving meal. Well, I mean.

Miggy:

Well, yeah, I mean but I think it used to be less than a dollar a pound.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, turkey, I know you have to look some say hands and say some say toms.

Miggy:

But, um, yeah, I mean they came out good, you know my mom's, so you had three of the two.

Speaker 4:

No, I went to two with the two, so you still have an extra one because you said you bought two and then you had one they gave you.

Miggy:

No, they give us two, they give me me one and they give my brother one.

Speaker 4:

Oh, but then you had bought two, or at one about two.

Lano:

Oh, you bought two at Walmart and those are the ones that I made.

Miggy:

Oh, so then I got the two that they gave us, and then my sister and her work to give her another two, but they're small, they're 13 pound.

Miggy:

Oh yeah, they're real small. Well, we've. Yeah, where's she working? I know I know Burbank has some, um, some kind of center where they they, because it's not a school. She used to work at a school, like with special needs kids, so it's still like special needs, but with adults, so it's like one of those centers. So they gave her some turkeys, so now we have all kinds of turkeys.

Speaker 4:

I used to be in a situation where, like, I would get free turkeys at work. But, um, this new place, um, I don't get turkeys, but I mean I haven't bought a turkey inside, and that's why I was wondering how much they cost. So, you, the two you got the, they were defrosted already. You, those are the ones you sold.

Miggy:

No, that's why. That's why I got to get them like almost like a week before. So when they start defrosting, yeah, cause you, you need to have them at least five days before Thanksgiving and have them out of the freezer and start to defrost them at least in the fridge. Right, Because even even that, like the one I was going to make, the one I was going to deep fry, I wanted to brain it, but then I thought about it. I'm like no, I don't know, I don't think I have brain when I deep fry it, and brain is this salt right.

Miggy:

Yeah.

Lano:

You could put other stuff in it.

Miggy:

Yeah, there's actually, there's a, there's a brain. I like to buy that. I use that um that I bought at Walmart last year.

Lano:

That stuff doesn't go bad, does it?

Speaker 4:

No no.

Lano:

Cause you went to put in the water or whatever you. You had the, the seasoning and the whatever, whatever, the broth that is.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, right Now, when you're talking brain, you're talking like 24 hours before or the day before, right, like to kind of suck it out.

Miggy:

Well, I mean last year when I, when I spoke to the turkeys for Rick's party, for the white elephant, those, I think I left them two days brain-ing.

Ricky:

Okay.

Miggy:

That's why everybody said they came out so juicy and airy. It's like cause you leave them longer and the more they.

Speaker 4:

That adds like the crisp right or no, like the seal or no.

Miggy:

No, it actually. It adds the moisture, you know, and it infuses the Cause, it draws moisture out of the air right Like it sucks it in or no? No, just so it sucks into the meat and then, like all the flavors also that you put in there, like all the the flavorings are in there, like the parsley, the rosemary, the thyme, you know, all that stuff starts soaking into the meat and flavoring the meat.

Speaker 4:

I bring it up cause I remember one time, um, I don't know if it was with you guys or when I was on my own, but um, like, we tried brining it, like right before like, and then when we dipped it in the turkey fry, like that, this, this, like floated away like to the top. And so as we dipped it, like that thing, this, the salt started like floating up to the top. So it was like it didn't do anything. That's why I say you did it like a day before to have it like soak in there and get absorbed and stuff.

Miggy:

Well, what you, what you probably, I mean did you put all those seasonings in there right before you put it in the fryer?

Speaker 4:

Well, like that same morning and then put it in the fryer, maybe that afternoon or something, that maybe like an hour, two hours before, and what'd?

Miggy:

you? What'd you use to get it to stick to the bird?

Speaker 4:

I think you use butter right, Don't you like a bar of butter and like kind of like rub it on?

Miggy:

I know what I use. What did I'm asking you, what did you use?

Speaker 4:

This is three years ago, I think it was butter.

Miggy:

I use mustard.

Speaker 4:

Oh, I think it was a stick of butter. We kind of like mustard, rub it on. Absorbs all the, all the spices on it.

Miggy:

Oh well, it sticks to the bird. So when you drop it in the deep fryer, what he says doesn't happen. Yeah.

Lano:

When you, when you brain it, you dip, you fill the container up with water, either a container or a bag. And you pour the brine in the spices, whatever.

Miggy:

What you do. You cook it first, like you bring it to a boil, all those spices and everything, and then you let it cool down, so like all the water's already it turns like a broth.

Lano:

Yeah, yeah, oh, ok, oh, so that's what? How did you do it, dude?

Ricky:

Half ass.

Lano:

like everything else, you put it out cold water, you pour in the spices and then you put the brine in.

Speaker 4:

I don't even think it was like a spice pack. I think we just rub the butter on like the bar and then like sprinkles, like some salt and pepper.

Lano:

You did it like a three stooge's damn preparation.

Speaker 4:

And then we dip it in, and then we just add the whole ounce of salt to the top.

Ricky:

Can of canapes, canapes. She shoves the whole canapes in there. Lofa bread well soaked.

Speaker 4:

He started beeping up the bread, but you were in frying and you smoked them both, right no?

Lano:

fried.

Miggy:

I fried one. Oh, you did OK.

Lano:

Oh man, we got to get that pepper.

Miggy:

Then the other one, my mom.

Lano:

Oh, you never got the smokers.

Speaker 4:

No, oh, ok oh.

Miggy:

Did it already Go back to the last episode and pay attention?

Speaker 4:

to it. Dude, I thought you guys were still talking about getting it, no for the white elephant, which is at the end of.

Miggy:

December.

Speaker 4:

Oh yeah.

Lano:

Oh yeah, why don't you listen? Dude, Dude, I forgot.

Speaker 4:

Why? I don't know why Give you excuse?

Lano:

Give you excuse? Oh, because I'm producing, I'm doing this, I'm doing that.

Miggy:

Oh, they don't think about the baby right now. They don't think about the baby that's coming in.

Speaker 4:

All right, OK, wait, wait. So let's get this clear You're getting the smoker to prep the turkeys for the white elephant, or are you getting the smoker as a white elephant gift?

Lano:

No man Getting the smoker to make the damn turkeys man All right.

Ricky:

All right Now I'm on the same page.

Lano:

Hey what did you get? What did you get for Black Friday?

Speaker 4:

Just some small upgrades for the studios. I got you a chair, so you're not in that camping chair, no more.

Lano:

I like my camping chair.

Speaker 4:

And then just some little stuff here and there, stuff I needed for the baby.

Lano:

I just man, I don't know why, I don't know why time is going so fast, dude.

Miggy:

It's because you got too much shit to do and I don't have time to do it. I just want to go back and If you had nothing to do and were just laying around all day, then time would dry.

Speaker 4:

Right, right, that's what we're saying the slow life would dry.

Miggy:

It's like when we were kids, Like right now we'd be anticipating Christmas.

Lano:

But it'd be long, like it'd be long.

Miggy:

It would be taking forever to get here because there's just that anticipation and excitement in there.

Lano:

Everybody's done with the Christmas decor and they're like on to like New Year's stuff.

Miggy:

And December's not even here yet. That's, that's what I'm saying. You know, it's like it would be, it's a stupid stores. It's a stores, yeah, and I mean the thing is, it's like when we're. That's why I love the childhood that we had. Yeah, because I just think that was like the. I mean that was the last great childhood dude, because these kids, they don't know what it's like to experience childhood.

Lano:

Yes, it's like they had their childhood robbed from them. It was like the nieces and nephews when they were kids, and I was always trying to find them, get to find a present so they can open and actually open a gift, because they would start asking just for like gift cards and whatever and I'm like, no, I want to give them like an actual gift to open.

Miggy:

Yeah, and remember those days that we would spend like hours in the store.

Lano:

Yeah, we would go to Walmart. We'd go to Walmart and then shop around and see what we're going to get, and now it's just like man Just video games and social media and all that.

Yeah yeah, they just let it go.

Speaker 4:

But that one like those some park. I'm trying to think we would pick up my sister from somewhere, but my mom, we'd always go to this park before we waited for her to get out. But, like before the park, she would take me to some liquor store and she would buy those little like wooden, like those little like the soft wood whatever you put in the yard the propeller with the propeller, yeah, yeah, the rubber band, it would take off, like it could take off from, like a picnic bench or a table.

Miggy:

And then you know what was classic, like absolute classic, going to the market buying a kite, but buying those ones that were just ice.

Ricky:

Yeah, you know it's like the kite looked like a bat shape, yeah, and it just had like two bloodshot eyes on it. It was like all black with bloodshot eyes on it.

Miggy:

That was the shit right there.

Lano:

That was bad because we would jump over to the playground, yeah, and then like run and get the things up in the air. We get those things up high man.

Speaker 4:

And that's the other day I was thinking like I want to get bigger because I'm going to buy her a kite, like some fancy kite. We're going to go fly it. That Just waiting for it to get a little bit bigger. Because we took her to the playground or to the park. You know, we took her to Bonelli Park last weekend. Where's that? San Dimas Frank Bonelli Park. You know where that's, at Bonelli.

Speaker 4:

There's no wind around here, but if you go to the beach it felt like you got to have a fancy kite. Those guys have pro kites? No, no man, the two hands.

Lano:

You know what? I'm going to stop an ice cream truck. I'm going to stop my eyes and see what kind of toys they got.

Speaker 4:

Miggy:

Never bet the twice. They're going to be buying them, dude, they're not going to care With all the electronics they have now. True, mmm, and that's just all bad parenting, because just the parents just Giving them their damn iPhones and here you know, sit down in the corner and shut up and don't bother me.

Speaker 4:

True, we're at a restaurant and, like you know, ali is, like you know, grabbing all her food out of her plate, like you know, chowing down. And then I look at some other like table and like the dad's trying to like Feed the kid the kids aren't even like looking at him, like he's just staring at the iPhone, just staring, staring, not even like the kids starving, the kids like a twig.

Well, you should already have the damn phone Already mounted, wherever you have it mounted, you know, when you pull up, pause, get off, put your gas, get back in, hit, play, turn the key on and go. Oh, like what the?

Miggy:

hell are you doing? I got one better for you while you're pumping the damn gas, set all the shit out that you need to set up. Get it ready to go, because once the gas stops pumping, let's go.

Lano:

We're long people, I mean people. People piss me off at the gas station.

Speaker 4:

They really, really pissed me off and this is um Costco, or where's this it was it was that article.

Lano:

Oh, you know what? I saw a Costco two days ago. This freaking lady took a, brought out a check. She actually brought out a damn check dude, she's slowing it down.

Speaker 4:

They're, like you know, like business checks, right.

Lano:

But you know, the weird thing is it didn't really bother me. I was like I Was like oh shit, a damn check, like I was? I was just, yeah, I was just looking at the process of like he like puts the check in them in the machine. I guess it prints out whatever and. Gives it to her shoulder like that's the mount Okay, signs it, whatever. I was like oh shit.

Speaker 4:

Well, I want to say I just might, I just might start paying with check matches to shake things up. I think our generation, the last generation of like kind of use checks right.

Lano:

Yeah, and I'm gonna balance my damn checkbook at the cashier.

Speaker 4:

I want to say I've only written.

Lano:

Do my balance. You're right there.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, dude because I think I'm only reading maybe 10 checks In your life, in my life. Are you kidding me? Get out, I don't, cuz I don't remember using. I mean we. I mean I got a checking account and then no way it was kind of fading away by that. How did you pay your bills?

Miggy:

You're full of a dude you can't tell me that when you bought your dog? I think I still walk into the world being you were going into the dealership or your finance here and paying cash.

Speaker 4:

No, I think they're pulling it out of the bank or something. I was no no, they weren't.

Lano:

I think they're pulling it like out of the account.

Miggy:

I think you're full of it.

Lano:

You got robbed in. They're probably pulling more than.

Speaker 4:

More than I don't know right. Every like maybe 10. I bet I still have the same checkbook, like with checks on it my very first but I always used to set up like some direct deposit or something like that. You know you have to give them the check number. Yeah, I mean, I remember my mom at the market writing checks every time we're in the market, like writing a check and Then, like you say, balancing it, like when they get home or whatever, once a week, adding everything up.

Lano:

That's why. That's why you're weak, fool. You're weak because you didn't know how to write checks.

Ricky:

Yeah, I didn't know how to write.

Speaker 4:

I wrote and then I remember going into the like paid bills like the gas company and stuff and the cable company here walking in.

Lano:

I. It's weird there's there's still things that I I still want to do like I want to do that. I want to go into the office and pay my damn water bill and Go bill you know, I don't miss that, though, man.

Speaker 4:

Having a right to pay all the bills and everything, because when when I was a business so you did checks like no but.

Miggy:

I'm talking about like personal, because, because I did both, you know it's like I would balance both checkbooks. I would balance our checkbooks at work, so we know exactly how much we had. Yeah, and I do like my own person.

Lano:

I always messed it up. Oh, it's always he was always.

Speaker 4:

On that?

Lano:

yeah, because like he wouldn't record some number of checks or I remember my dad had the a big checkbook Wails when we were working. When I was working with them, he had the big checkbook and a big leather binder.

Miggy:

Yeah, the big.

Lano:

Right out checks and then he never knew how to damn Right balance the damn checkbook.

Miggy:

Right, he never did it.

Lano:

Yeah.

Miggy:

I would have to do it.

Speaker 4:

What a mess you're writing checks for bills and then mailing them in the mail.

Ricky:

Yeah.

Speaker 4:

I mean stamps and stuff.

Lano:

Yes, you, you, you, you print out your stamps now.

Speaker 4:

Now I don't even use the mail. I mean no. I mean, I know that that happened our January printing out stamps, but what do you do? Everything's all like on they now. No, I don't like mail out stuff. You print out you're pretty nice stamps.

Lano:

No, I go to the post office.

Speaker 4:

And what are you mailing?

Lano:

If I got a mail, a specific bill maybe, or a payment.

Ricky:

Really.

Lano:

Yeah, it's only when it's something like specific, like I don't know.

Speaker 4:

Like the mortgage, like what?

Lano:

No, no, no, not the mortgage, but it could be, I don't know. Just something, something that's, it's not really like it's none of my utility bills or anything like that, it's just other stuff, or?

Miggy:

alright, I think I think, for, like me personally, the only thing I'm sending out a check to is for my my medical, the, the clinic that I go to, and it's weird because I qualified for this program where, you know, they pick up 80% of the tab, so I paid like the remainder 20%, and when they tell me that there's only there's like a balance of like 260 bucks, and I'm like, well, can I just pay it all at once? And they're like, no, we'll just send the $20 every time we send you a billion or whatever.

Miggy:

It's like because I guess that way they show. You know that this is all this dude could afford to say that the type is 20 bucks at a time. You know because if and it's weird because one time I tried giving them like a hundred bucks and they said they would have to run the thing five times like a $20 increments and the way he's doing that they're like well, that's just the way they ever said after they had occurred to me and I go okay, it's like I know why.

Miggy:

So I get it why? Well, for that reason, you know. So we. It looks like you know that's all they can afford to send per payment. So, whenever I get that bill, you don't just send out a $20 check, See but there's no like option to write a credit card number on there. No, there is, but I don't trust it.

Lano:

Yeah, I still don't have any damn like or a website.

Speaker 4:

You can't pay on a website.

Lano:

Samsung pay, whatever it is, because I'm Samsung, you have Apple Pay right.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, yeah, I don't trust this shit.

Miggy:

I don't trust it. Yeah, the only, the only time I ever use like my phone to pay for anything is when I'm at Samsung's club and I use the app.

Lano:

Yeah.

Miggy:

Because I got the cards loaded up on there. Yeah.

Lano:

Cause your account you show them that the membership, and then do you want to put it Cause? Yeah, it's all linked together.

Miggy:

Yeah. So as far as using the phone, like how these people pay, like say they go to McDonald's or whatever, and then they pull out their phone and just tap it or whatever, I don't trust that shit.

Lano:

No.

Speaker 4:

So you buy like a roll of stamps for that $20 payment.

Lano:

No man, if I'm going to send a card or two cards out, I go to the post office. Pay for two stamps and then send it off.

Speaker 4:

So you do the same thing. You wouldn't go to the post office. You just buy a stamp, you buy a book of stamps, you buy a book and for work.

Miggy:

you know there was some stuff I got to mail out.

Speaker 4:

So every end of the month.

Lano:

On a Sunday, you're licking envelopes and getting your bag ready you know the weird thing, I like the taste of the glue. Yeah, damn weird, I don't like that.

Speaker 4:

Wow, okay. Well, since you brought up the taste of the glue, what's a smell that you've always like, enjoyed, but some people?

Miggy:

During the holidays.

Speaker 4:

Well, no, I mean, I like the smell of gas like a gas station, and I don't know if it's because the Volkswagen always smelled like gas where I got used to it, but I always thought, I just thought, like the smell of gas, like, oh, like that was like the next one.

Lano:

That was the first bug.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, the first bug. Oh man, you like the flavor of envelopes, or what?

Lano:

The flavor of envelopes. Yeah, I mean, everybody probably likes it when you past time like a bread store the bakery yeah.

Miggy:

You just smell that smell of toast Coffee in the morning. Yeah, but like as far as something weird or oddball that other people wouldn't enjoy.

Lano:

I know something. Something was about to.

Speaker 4:

Well, coffee, remember those like the coffee commercials. Or like the guy who smells the coffee in the morning, like the wife making, or something Wakes up and jumps out of bed.

Miggy:

Yeah, I know those tasters. Choice to wear.

Lano:

You know what Champonado? No you know what it is with me. I guess it's kind of disgusting the smell of my sweaty hat, like that weird smell. I'll take it.

Miggy:

I'll take it, I'll take it, I'll do it, I'll do it like. I know the exact way, because that's why the wear hats anymore, man, because I would stink them up so much. I hate it Wearing them when they stop.

Lano:

But I hate the smell of my sweaty bandana. Like I, as soon as I started smiling that sweat on my bandana.

Miggy:

Yeah.

Lano:

Because I always have it around my forehead. Yeah, I started smiling my pits and I'm like, man, is that me? Is this this shirt? But when it's like a hat, like I kind of like to take away for that.

Miggy:

I'll tell you this much, man Ever since catching the Rona, that thing has messed up my senses.

Speaker 4:

Oh really.

Miggy:

Like some stuff didn't smell right anymore, like a diesel smell different to me now. Well, I guess it is different now because they change the formulas on them. Uh-huh, don't you blend, or you just have my diesel, no just diesel in general. Um, whenever you smell someone's like smoking weed, that shit smells different to me now. Yeah, you know, coffee smells different to me now A cigar no.

Speaker 4:

What A?

Miggy:

cigar, cigar, no, it still smells the same.

Speaker 4:

To me a cigar and weed kind of smells the same.

Miggy:

No, nah way off.

Lano:

Way off. The smell of that pipe is damn good, man. Yeah, the smell of that damn pipe, that tobacco pipe.

Miggy:

Well you know, you know, since me and Manuel got into it there's so many different flavors of tobacco out there, dude, it's like you really got to find the one that you like because, like, some of them are pretty harsh, you know they like they burn on the tongue and shit. They're real strong and you just got to find what you like and go with it Is you and Manuel different.

Speaker 4:

You guys have different flavors. Yeah.

Miggy:

I like. I like more what they call the aromatics, which are more mild and smooth and like a little bit sweeter, you know, and Manuel likes them more like that robust, you know, like cigar taste, which I don't like, because that taste stays in your mouth for like two or three days. When you get like the more mild ones, it kind of like it goes away the next morning, like when you brush your teeth it's like you don't taste it anymore. That's what I like.

Speaker 4:

That's going to be a future topic. You on talking about smoking the pipe and tobacco.

Ricky:

We'll do a full smoking, smoking the pipe.

Speaker 4:

You're talking about your.

Lano:

Smoking the pancake.

Speaker 4:

Like let's say like like I'll go out on my pits and smell it, and like my wife was like, why do you smell your pits? And I was like I'm checking to see, like, what it smells like.

Lano:

But you let you secretly like it.

Speaker 4:

No, I don't see where I like it, but she gets mad at me for that. And she gets mad like you don't know, you don't smell your floss. No floss yeah, no, no. After you use it, don't you have to check to see what's going on? Like I don't smell it you freaking weirdo. Because my wife looks at me like why do you smell your flops?

Ricky:

I have to see what's going on Like looking at it to see if there's any big chunks in it, and then throw it away. You got to look at it like hey, he's like the kitty catty shack. He has like 50 bucks of snails. Kid picks his nose. He's like another 50 bucks as he eats it.

Lano:

Man, that kid will eat anything. All you got to do is you checked the floss like after a run was it ran or stimpy after they floss. You know kinds of crap on that thing.

Speaker 4:

You guys remember like being in school and then like you open up I don't know if it's a new book or an old book you open a book and like the pages smell like shit. Like it smells like shit, yeah, it smells bad, like bad, like kaka right, like it smells bad you don't remember that, no.

Speaker 4:

So this is a true story. So I'm in school like reading, right, like, and then the or it's writing class, right, and then they're like, oh, you got to like write like descriptive, like you got to have the listener like like know what you smell, what you hear, or whatever, like like, what's your story about? And I'm like, oh, like, I'm reading like like a book, so like, I just wrote this like line saying like, like smells like a, like a fresh book opening, like this is the fucker. I was a teacher and then like smells like fresh.

Speaker 4:

And the teacher got all excited. That's great, that's great.

Ricky:

That's good.

Speaker 4:

And then they put me in an advanced writing and I was like this is easy, like cause they're like you have to be very descriptive, like they have to know, like what you smell, what you hear, and I was like opening a crisp book and it smells like like kaka or whatever. And they're like they moved me to an advanced, um, advanced placement writing for that and I was just like joking around. Wow, but that's a true story. Yeah, the new books.

Lano:

That's like a new like the smell of a new car.

Speaker 4:

Well, that's actually an actual scent. Huh, it's like the, I guess the plastics or whatever, right.

Miggy:

You know actually um a smell I didn't like before, but I do like now, guava.

Lano:

I still don't like. I mean I, would.

Miggy:

I would hate it as a kid when my mom would get it and have it in the kitchen. But like now, you know, since I you know, I eat it now the road, the road no because you eat it. No, no, no, because I eat it now and I'm like the smell doesn't bother me anymore. It's like, but I used to really hate that smell, but now I run like it.

Lano:

They were damn weird, weird.

Speaker 4:

Um, so yeah, Black Friday I just got some upgrades for the studio just to get ready for season. Then I bought some pants and the big thing about I had, I bought a new um play pin for the new baby.

I'm gonna go my side of her membership Red DVDs or I could possibly be great or DVDs. Dvds, man and I I mean, I don't know, I might. I might do a vampir and then go hunting for a damn VCR.

Speaker 4:

Alright, I'll read Cuz even the black Friday you see bins of like movies, like DVDs, but I don't even see that anymore. There was a few like mom-and-pop Reynolds, but those are all clothes. I don't think you're gonna find one. I think I don't think you're gonna find one.

Lano:

I Maybe I have to go to like the outskirts where, like nobody's, like, they're out of touch.

Speaker 4:

Now are you guys still buying movies like like digital?

Lano:

Speaker 4:

Like if there's a.

Miggy:

Ever since I remodeled my room and packed everything up and Say, how, all these DVDs and shit like what the hell am I gonna do with all these DVDs? Now, man, it's like the only ones I kept for my collector sets that I have the Star Wars ones, you you have to hold on to those.

Internet will be down. Everything's gonna be I kept the important ones. You know son.

Miggy:

Yeah, I kept the kill bills. I kept the Indiana Jones, Star Wars.

Speaker 4:

Yeah you saw the last thing there, jones.

Miggy:

No I.

Speaker 4:

Saw it. I mean, people didn't like it wasn't that bad I.

Miggy:

Just, I don't know, man, after last crusade is just the rest of it's all blasphemy?

Speaker 4:

Now, did you know? I Just found this out recently, but supposedly they found the holy grail Did you know that?

Miggy:

We're my life.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, like 15 years ago.

Miggy:

No.

Speaker 4:

Because I was watching some Netflix specials like who found it? It's at some church, like in Spain, that they kept it. They traced it through the books and Peter gave it to so-and-so and then I don't know, blah, blah, blah. This one.

Ricky:

Well, what come to think?

Miggy:

about it. I think I was watching some of it on history.

Speaker 4:

Cuz I was watching it on Netflix like there was something Like Relics. You know, relics are like like pieces of like religious history or something like that.

Miggy:

Yeah.

Speaker 4:

And it was a Netflix special. I only saw the first two. I think there's four episodes, but one of the episodes, the holy grail, but there's two church, two churches are financing. There's is the one, but like the, like the experts and scientists, things like three out of the four, I think it's this one, this one church, like that's in.

Miggy:

I Want to say that does sound really familiar something Spain. I think I was watching something like that.

Speaker 4:

I'm tired, either on history or discovery, or it has like candles on the side, like it's kind of like it's made out some special stone, like some stone, those back then, and then that's handles.

Speaker 4:

But they're claiming it now I was watching this video. It's like they never found it and I'm like I looked it up and I was like I guess they did find it, because I always thought I get an angel. We never found it. Like the last crusade, I always thought those like no, but but there's like they, they supposedly found it. It's on. Netflix check it out but I had never heard about them and this was like 10, 15 years ago. Like I missed it. Yeah, I was like oh wow, pretty big deal.

Miggy:

You want to watch a good special? I just watched. Oh, it's called by, by Barry.

Speaker 4:

Barry Sanford last week or this week, yeah, he might have a prime. It doesn't explain the reason why he left. Yeah, for a while. It's like a big mystery.

Miggy:

He gives a reason. And really it's. It's not a big mystery at all.

Lano:

Yeah, I know spoilers, no spoilers, yeah, I.

Miggy:

Mean, I mean I mean people say it was a big mystery. But when he revealed it I was like, okay, yeah, we're like it wasn't like anything shocking or there's like a gym brown thing or no?

Speaker 4:

Women a gym brown thing like Jim Brown just left kids. Like you don't want to go past his prime or something.

Miggy:

Oh, I thought he didn't want to play for the man.

Speaker 4:

Well, something like that. I want to watch it. Yeah it was really good who Barry Sanders is like.

Miggy:

He was one of the greatest running back watch that documentary, go on YouTube and Search up Barry Sanders highlights and now that's another. Arguably, I think top three best running back ever.

Speaker 4:

Barry Sanders, bo Jackson, eric Dickinson.

Miggy:

I mean I love me Walter. Payton berries on the top, you know and what.

Lano:

Walter Payton is actually my favorite football player you know, but I think, barry was just that moves back and forth.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, but I thought three lists.

Lano:

It's Barry.

Speaker 4:

Bo Jackson's in there, no, but we just never saw like his full career.

Miggy:

Yeah, yeah, that's a thing, it was too short, it was like Bo Jackson, was like gale Sayers.

Speaker 4:

What could have been short and Dickerson in his prime with the Rams he was good, but like I mean I'm I don't know it's a system because when he left he wasn't as good as he was, but he was. Dickerson was pretty good, but like Emmett Smith, no, like I never liked.

Miggy:

Like I mean he was like good I never was good, that's what they kind of go into it, and in the Berry special, because it's like Barry had nothing and it was surrounded by Hall of Famers.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, on the offense, on the defense, quarterback wide receiver, all Hall of Famers and then, yeah, then they wanted him to break that record, like he should have retired three years before. They just kept them long, just to like break that record at the very end, and I Didn't think he was like cuz he went to the Cardinals. Right or somewhere he was.

Miggy:

I think so, cardinals.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, we had Barry like.

Miggy:

Barry.

Speaker 4:

I mean not Barry, I'm Emmett Smith.

Miggy:

Oh, yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:

So who's your top three? Real quick, rick, you said Walter Payton.

Lano:

Walter Payton, my favorite gales sales there's no but as far as running back, I mean, yeah, I think I'm gonna put Barry at number one man.

Miggy:

You me, yeah, barry Walter, and um I. Third I mean, everybody says Jim Jim Brown, but I never seen them, we never saw them.

Speaker 4:

You know the ones that I remember like girl Campbell, yeah you know that, dude was a beast man and I feel like today's day and age running backs are just like a flash in the pan, like it's just two years and they're done.

Lano:

Disrespected man.

Miggy:

Marcus Allen was incredible. Oh Allen.

Speaker 4:

Then they're all different styles, yeah, all different styles. Marcus Allen yeah. And then if you say Marcus Allen, people say OJ, but but this different styles yeah, I forgot about Marcus Allen. All right, so anybody does the same as Black Friday, anybody buy Cyber Monday. I was lucky.

Yeah, my remotes are Not working anymore, but actually it's one button that I use a lot, like a back button or exit button, stop working, so I had to figure out different ways to clear the screen. Oh, so I just bought a couple of remote controls. I think I did all my shopping Monday because those are like the sales are going to go away.

And then Mark has seen it before and they use it, right, right. And then, after I brought it up, after it was like so was that thing working? And they're like oh well, yeah, I'm not itching, I'm not it's not If you go right away, like it stopped yeah.

Miggy:

Cause. I don't know, why do mosquitoes don't bite me?

Lano:

I don't know why, I don't know, I don't taste good or something, cause you got reptile skin and they're probably not penetrating your skin.

You're that, or they probably smell too much cholesterol on me or some shit and and I screw that fat guy. But loud.

Lano:

I mean they're going to be when I'm at this guy's not organic. We're not even going to bother with this fat guy. They look at him like I don't want to hear that guy that guy's pure saturated fat.

Lano:

It feels good because, like, you get bit right and it's just, and then when you like, when you pump it or whatever you feel the relief kind of like yeah, like you feel that spot when like oh, I got it out and how do I keep telling them like no, put it at the end. And then you know, hold it for like at least like 15, 20 seconds. And yeah, no, it was, they weren't itching, they weren't itching after and it wasn't really bothering them.

Speaker 4:

And I don't know if you look like, if you look at the inside, like you take the cap off, like you'll see it's all like dirty, like blood in there, Like like you don't notice it's sucking stuff out.
