Episode 99 - Eclipse Patterns and the Enigma of Seven: Delving into Daylight's Extra Hours and Numerical Mysteries
As daylight lingers and workdays stretch, Mig and Lano are your sole companions in this episode, while our buddy Rick is swamped with overtime. It's a testament to the hustle and flow that keeps the world spinning, and we're here to share the triumphs and trials alike. MGR Plumbing's on the rise, and in these longer days, our own endeavors are pushing the clock too. But as the sun hangs around, so do we, bringing you our laid-back banter and reflections on the daily grind that unites us all.
Join us as we muse over the recent celestial spectacle without the nerdy eclipse glasses, igniting a curious chat about the mystique of the number seven. The shadows cast by the eclipse reveal a pattern as seven cities named Salem find themselves in the dark, echoing every seven years. We're not chasing conspiracies but can't help being enthralled by the significance of numbers that thread through life and the universe. It's a conversation that's not just about the stars above but about the patterns that resonate through our existence, and we invite you to ponder along with us.

Thanks for Listening!
welcome back to the drifting on the royal podcast. This is mig, this is lano and that's it. It's a. Rick is working overtime.
Lano:Overtime, as we approach the century mark in episodes, it seems like everything is getting harder to get through. We're going through the grind. Ricky's been working, you've been working, mgr plumbing is taking off.
Mig:I guess Taking off, yeah, so good for him. I wasn't sure we're recording.
Lano:I mean it's going to come, I guess, taking off, yeah, so good for him. I wasn't sure we're recording. I mean it's going to come out the same, the normal day, but we're recording a day late, yeah.
Mig:And you know with me. You know, the more daylight I have, the more work I can get in. So that's, going to be my issue.
Lano:So it's the evening like 6 o'clock Normally. So it's the evening like 6 o'clock Normally it's late, but it seems like it's still bright outside. When you called me, I still recorded. I looked outside the window. I was like, oh, we still got daylight, we're still going good. Still going strong. Speaking of daylight, were you able to see the eclipse?
Mig:Yeah, there's a lot of footage on the interwebs and on TV.
Mig:Yeah, there's a lot of footage on the interwebs and on TV.
Lano:I didn't really make it a priority to get up and go get my nerd glasses and go check it out or anything and find a clear spot. I was going to get some glasses but then we weren't in the viewing the full spectrum area, Not the full spectrum.
Mig:You could have done something, but whatever man.
Lano:We've gone through it before where it was like our, like the whole blackout right yeah, yeah, we've been through it before. So I think what did I mean? I guess we'll come back around. I mean how I don't know what year was when we saw it the first time um, the last time it was visible in amer.
Mig:I just saw this too. It was oh in America?
Lano:Yeah, in America Was 2017. That's what I thought. I thought it wasn't too long, but visible like full blackout yeah like in parts of the country.
Mig:It was like full blackout, and it's pretty crazy Because I mean it was on the internet, you know. So, conspiracy theory or whatever you know it's like or take it for what it is, you know, is it the scripture coming true and everything, but that last time, the path they tracked it and it blacked out seven cities throughout the United States, all of them with the name of Salem. Oh really.
Lano:Like Salem in the yeah Some part of their name, or they just their name, salem.
Mig:Yeah, Salem, Just and Salem. I forgot what what it meant. I think there was like a different Trans. What's the word Translation? Uh huh, I don't know if it was in Hebrew or Old Hebrew or what. I forgot what it translated into. What's the word Translation? I don't know if it was in Hebrew or Old Hebrew or what I forgot what it translated into. I should have bookmarked it or something. And then we knew we were going to talk about it and this year the path that it crossed it crossed through another seven cities. So like, if you're a numeric, you know, if you believe in numbers and everything, it's like you know 666 is a sign of evil and Mark of the Beast or whatever. So then you know 777, that's like the holy number.
Mig:Oh is it 3-7?.
Lano:Yeah, I never knew that so 2017,.
Mig:It passed through seven cities named Salem. This year, it passed through another seven cities I forgot what other biblical reference it has to it and they happened seven years apart.
Mig:I did not know that about sevens.
Lano:Like slot machines.
Mig:it's three sevens you win, or whatever that's like a luck thing, you know, but it was on Instagram that I saw it and it was a pastor About seven, yeah, like slot machines, is three, sevens you win, or whatever. That's like a luck thing, you know. So, but um, it was, it was on Instagram that I saw it and it was. It was a pastor that was saying this, you know, and of course, he, you know, he was like you know these are the signs, you know the rapture, you know God's coming, you know which.
Lano:I know, like the seven signs right.
Mig:Yeah, so seven. It's an important number in the Bible. But take that for what you will, what you want to look into it. It's like me for a long time I already thought the end times are coming. You think it's going to be in our lifetime, I think if not in our lifetime, then maybe a generation yeah, I mean because just things are getting too bad, dude, and and it's just god's being omitted from everything, and you know you get, you can't live life without god, and yeah, and you're.
Lano:You're not saying like the end of the world, you're just saying like we're going, like mad max, like like we're living In no power or whatever.
Mig:Honestly I don't know, dude, cause there's like I've seen so many different variations of End of world scenarios, like even as a kid, like seeing stuff like what would happen during the rapture and everything. It's like where you just and I would have like, like when people disappear.
Lano:I was scared, dude, yeah, when I was a kid, because I would see these movies, you know these thing. It's like where you just and I would, I would have, like, I would like, when people disappear, I was scared, yeah when I was a kid, because I would see these movies.
Mig:You know, these like christian movies where you wake up and everybody's gone, right, it's like. So everybody else you know is in heaven so that's the rapture right in the bible.
Mig:Yeah, yeah, you know. So that's why it's kind of like you don't know what to expect. You know it's like it's gonna be that you don't know what to expect. Is it going to be that? Is the skies going to open up? Are you going to ascend, or is just like, is the world going to become apocalyptic? You know, and Then you got to prove yourself worthy afterwards or I don't know. It's a big mystery, but that's a little interesting Tidbit I saw. I don't want to say fact's a little interesting tidbit I saw. I don't want to say fact, just a tidbit, just something I saw, because I get accused a lot of putting false info out there.
Mig:I'm just saying it's just what I saw, just what I saw the rapture I remember.
Lano:In Catechism they say like You're supposed to stay in the house, right, and they're like, cause stuff's happening outside or whatever, and someone's gonna be knocking on your door, but you're not supposed to answer it and it could be like your mom's voice or your daughter's voice or your wife's voice. You're not supposed to open the door Cause it's the devil trying to trick you.
Mig:Cause. Then also, also, when they when they talk about the mark of the beast, right, it's like the things that I see that are kind of, if you think about it, it kind of is happening Is like looking like Like Amazon or these other places where you do your shopping Like cashless or cardless or whatever, right, it's like if people are so proud because they're implanting a chip in their wrist or something you know and that's where they have all their info and everything.
Lano:I think Amazon you can scan your hand or something, yeah, to walk in.
Mig:You know, but they implant something.
Lano:Uh-huh.
Mig:I'm like no way, dude, no effing way, no way am I going to have anything implanted in me like that dude now, would you?
Lano:that's like, that's the beginning, right there, the mark of the beast. Would you be able to like not open the door? It's like ricky, like help me. Like it's crazy out here, like I don't remember that dude. Oh, I remember something like that, but like, like I always like thought about it, like too much, where it's like is it a double trick? Like we're like they're testing to see if you're nice and if you don't open it, like they get you. Or like what if you open the door and it is your sister or your mom? And then like then they're like, oh, you passed the test, like you know you helped them, or is it just like?
Mig:is the devil playing with you, or something like that? I don't know. To me I would open the door and you know if it's evil then, it's evil. You know, I'm going to go down swinging go down swinging you know, and I'm not, I'm not just going to succumb. And you know, let them take me easily.
Lano:You know I'm going to do everything I can within my power and you know, hopefully, you know, hopefully, god's on my side I got to reconnect with Ralph because he had told us a while back that like he's been hearing, like stuff wasn't happening in six months, and then it's been past that time. So I want to find out if he's still hearing stuff or that something happened.
Mig:I'm sure there is, you know, because even if you go back like watch History Channel or watch Learning Channel or those, those types of discovery and see stuff like on Nostradamus, yeah, it's like he predicted stuff, but not like To the. Not to the T.
Mig:Like generalized.
Mig:Like kind of generalized you know, and I mean it's probably Just like visions that he saw, you know, cause I know there's probably just like visions that he saw, you know, cause I know there's times when I've been Like dreaming. It's like the one time that we talk about deja vu. You know where you dream. You're in a scenario it's just it could be an everyday thing, and you're just there and you're like dude. It's like I've experienced this before, you know, and then you think back and you're like dude. I had a dream that just was just like this and I've had that happen to me a few times, I mean but you remember, because I just have trouble remembering dreams.
Lano:I guess when you relive it or when you see it again, it clicks. Yeah.
Mig:That's the thing. But I'm talking about years, years, years ago. Nothing like that's happened recently, but years ago it did happen to me a couple times where I was reliving my dream and everything and I was like dude. I've seen this before. I've been in this situation before. Were they big moments in your life, or just normal everyday things? No, just normal everyday, it was just like a regular thing is why I think, you know, you could have like premonitions, you know, and yeah, yeah, glimpses into the future I don't think I've ever it's like some are probably more prominent than others, but is that what they call like?
Lano:the third eye like, like. You're like a premonition, like like there's a part of your brain that you're using that other people don't use, and it's like a different.
Mig:I don't know.
Lano:Vision or sight, but it's more. It's more with your mind, or something like that.
Mig:Yeah, I'm not sure.
Lano:Well, I got on the screen the the Salem translation. I don't know if this is what You're talking about, but it says Peaceful or complete, peaceful or complete, peaceful, safe or complete. But there was another word for it Arabic, male Hebrew Salem shorts. I don't know if that's what you're talking about Biblical peace.
Mig:Yeah, I'm really going to have to start bookmarking some of this stuff so I can bring it up as a reference.
Lano:So, um, I was at work and then, um, I was going down the alleyway and the alleys were like jammed and I was like what the hell? Like what's going on? And then I was like what do you mean? Like you got stuck or.
Mig:No, no it was just full.
Lano:Everybody was crowding in there like squeezing us, and then I got to the first floor and everybody's running outside to see the eclipse and the whole front outside of the building. Everybody was just outside with glasses and this and that. So I went back to my office but there's glass all around us and I didn't see it get dark or anything. You know, sometimes a cloud passes over, it gets a little overcast or cloudy and then it passes through and then gets bright. I didn't see none of that change. That's funny because my mom.
Mig:She's all like, hey, be careful, you know, because at 2 o'clock it's going to get dark out there. People are going to start acting dumb and I'm like that's not going to happen here. Mom, yeah, they said on the news at 2 o'clock. I thought first of all Mom, because I thought it was early in the morning. I told her first of all Mom, it already passed, it's 11 o'clock right now. That shit happened like 40 minutes ago, but it didn't get darker, I know, I thought because, only certain parts of the country was going to see the full eclipse.
Mig:I thought, that 2 o'clock that you're seeing. That's Eastern time.
Lano:She's like, and then my sister got some like footage of it, but I saw on the news that the number one Google search the next day was like my eyes hurt on Google, so I guess people were seeing it see, that's the other thing.
Mig:It's like I wouldn't want to mess up my eyes. Yeah, it's like why mess up my eyes if I could just see some idiot that recorded it on their phone or whatever and I can see it there, which I did.
Lano:How do you know like you're buying some paper glasses on Amazon from China?
Mig:How do you know if it's really?
Lano:like certified or some knockoff, and, like you, burn your eyes or something I don't know.
Mig:That's the stuff, I think about Exactly, I get scared.
Lano:Let me, let's get through this phone call. I don't know how we missed it, but this came out on April 1st. Boo, we just missed it, but it's from one of our callers. Let's see.
Mig:Call down the hotline and that hotline number is Hold on.
Lano:The hotline number is 323 207 0012. Yes 3-2-3, 2-0-7, 0-0-1-2. Yes, we haven't said it in a while too. Here's the phone call that we missed last week, man.
Mig:You guys are whack. No show, no, nothing. No backup show. Whatever happened to All? Look out for 2024. We're gonna be live, we're gonna get everything together, we're gonna make it right, we're gonna have topics, we're gonna cover the weather All that bull Issue you guys are talking about. You guys haven't done nothing. Come on, man, get with it.
Mig:Jeez, maybe you should have left that call lost. Justin. Come on, man, Get with it. Jeez, Maybe you should have left that call lost. I don't need this man.
Lano:I don't need to come on here and get chewed out Daylight's lasting longer Maybe. I mean we could. You guys wanted longer shows, so it's hard for us to. When we had half-hour shows, we were able to do two a night maybe, but now that we do it close to an hour every episode, it's hard to put aside two hours in a night. All of us working. Now I got the second child, everything's tougher. There's a lot of stuff to do.
Mig:It's hard, Mark. If it wasn't hard, then everybody would do it.
Lano:And then last week we recorded the episode. I haven't even gotten around to editing or doing shorts. I haven't gotten around, so I don't even know how that's going to be once we start recording every day or every?
Lano:week Video recording, video recording. But next week, episode 100, we're going to start video recording. We did a practice run and we'll see Might come out with the shorts clips, but I think to get on YouTube YouTube podcast, I think we have to have like our Full show on there. So that's gonna be another beast. I gotta just Take a little quick YouTube course.
Mig:What you could do, too, dude, is Just have like the logo On there and just upload the audio.
Lano:Oh yeah.
Mig:People do that.
Lano:Just like a CD cover.
Mig:They'll just put it on and have it in the background or whatever. Not necessarily something they've got to be watching.
Lano:With a camera. Yeah, there might be some weeks. We might do that if I can't record. I was going to wait for Rick next week, but you didn't listen to that podcast. I sent you no.
Mig:Billy Carson yeah, no.
Lano:I'll give Rick one more chance to listen to it. I don't know if he did. Did you see the SpaceX launch the rocket? I did the one, the.
Mig:Saturday. Oh no, yeah, you don't no, saturday no.
Lano:Wasn't it supposed to be on Friday? It was Friday, but then it got delayed. I was all looking for a Friday and then it said postponed Like 24 hours.
Mig:No, I didn't see it.
Lano:I know I texted Rick because he was in Baja and he said he saw it Because I was in Manifee. We were celebrating my nephew's birthday. Happy birthday, richie. We were celebrating his birthday on Saturday and then in Manifee, which is near Temecula, we saw it, and we saw it like come up and then go across the sky. So that's I mean down south.
Mig:You know? That was another thing I was wondering about. I saw some mention of it online where what's the rush With SpaceX getting so many satellites up there? And he wanted to get them up there before the eclipse. Oh, he did. Yeah, he was making sure he hurried up and got them up there before the eclipse. What was he figuring or anticipating?
Lano:Well, I thought the satellites he's doing is for internet. So I don't know, I don't know what the connection Is with that.
Lano:But I do know he's like Working on that big rocket To Mars Because apparently the Earth's orbit Like I don't know If it's next year, in two years, like it's orbit and Mars over it's like the closest. So if you're going to go to Mars you got to like you would want to go through that window either next year or the year after, else it's like it makes like a six month trip, like a three year trip or something, the way like the orbit is.
Lano:Oh, sure, so I think that's why he's working on some big rockets. But I'm not. I mean, don't quote me, I'm not sure that's crazy, but you're talking about things you hear or you see. And did you want to?
Mig:apologize On the topic of just what I heard. Just what I heard, but you know what? Afterwards I thought about it and well, let me tell the story.
Lano:So last week, or two weeks ago, it was last week.
Mig:Last week I told everybody well, on the show, I brought it up that In-N-Out was now serving chicken sandwiches and they called them chicken double doubles. Right, Just something I saw on Instagram. So I told the guys, we pulled it up, we played the video, we all saw the video and everything. And who's the only one that responded angrily with it afterwards? Rick? So he texts me and Lionel all angry saying that it was bullshit and I don't know what.
Lano:And he doesn't know what the hell I'm looking at or I'm like dude, I'm like because you said it and it was hard to believe, but when I saw the video I was like this thing looks real, I mean.
Mig:I don't know if the guy worked in and out and had his buddies go along with it or just has friends that work there and went along with it. I don't know, but it looked legit. You had the guy who takes the order, okay. But then when I thought about it, dude, I saw that video on April 1st and I didn't even think about it. Yeah, not knowing the date.
Mig:So it was probably an April Fool's joke. It was a good one, because after the show like so I apologize to anybody out there that I guess made themselves look dumb like Rick did, Otherwise he wouldn't have been so pissed off.
Lano:I want to hear his side story, because he was pissed off. He didn't tell us. I asked him, he didn't respond, he was just embarrassed.
Mig:Yeah, I'm sure he went up like a dumbass and asked for a chicken double-double. And they laughed at his face and I'm wondering what are you going to boycott now, dude? Are you going to boycott now, dude? Are you going to boycott In-N-Out now?
Lano:because they hurt your feelings. Are you going to add that to rallies? So the video, the guy's like I heard this, and then he's talking to the teller who takes the order, and then he doesn't blink. He just takes the order like chicken double-double, add chili peppers or whatever. And then when they get to the window he makes sure he's like it's a chicken double-double, right.
Lano:That's right, the dude does ask yeah, yeah, and then the girl's like, yes, it is Like it sure is Chicken double-double. And then he's like it's real chicken. And she's like, yeah, it's breaded and everything. I think she says breaded and everything. And then he gets it and then like, you see, these two, like it's two chicken tenders or something like a nice burger, and I was thinking, oh, the peppers. I go, that's good.
Mig:So I'm not sure if I owe an apology. I'm just saying I might have gotten duped, like everybody else did.
Lano:Well, I'm going to call you your victim.
Mig:Because I didn't think about the day that I saw that video on and it just didn didn't click. It didn't occur to me there could have been a april fool's joke.
Lano:So and after like we I mean I saw the video live with you guys here and during the show, like I went and showed my I was like you got you got away for next week's show. We talked about the chicken double and she's like what she's like that's bs. And I showed her the video. And then we're like, oh, let's go try it tomorrow. But I was gonna pick it up for dinner. Ricky just happened to Get it for lunch.
Lano:But, I just think you're Just a victim. And it was a well produced video and I think maybe Puff Daddy was behind it and you're just another Puff Daddy victim. He knows In-N-Out's On the west coast and he fooled you. You're just another puff, daddy victim.
Lano:As long as you didn't diddle me, dude, then we're all right, but uh, speaking of chicken fast foods, before the show started we just saw this report that it it looked like um, pioneer was um starting to come back, but it it turns out that um, just the it went from 300,. I don't know if everybody knows Pioneer Chicken, but it was a chicken spot growing up that we used to get a lot. It was around the neighborhood, big in the 70s and 80s Big it was everywhere.
Lano:And then Everywhere in LA. It wasn't the 7-Eleven, it was like the well, it was the check cashing. It turned into the check cashing place after the one I figured out, the one I figured out in Highland Park and then the one on Daly Street. I don't know what that one turned into.
Mig:Right now it's just like a little Mexican restaurant, like a little Mexican fast food restaurant. Not the Wendy's, no, it's next to the laundromat. Oh yeah yeah, yeah, right across the street from where the 99 cent in that park is.
Lano:Yeah, yeah, yeah, right there. Oh, that's other news. 99 cent stores are closing. I don't know if you heard that.
Mig:You heard that I heard there was a a group trying to get put together to save it. Well, maybe, I just heard they're. Well, no, I mean they are closing, but they're.
Lano:They're trying to get an investment group together to try to save it just um, I mean, it used to be 99 cent stores and they used to switch it to 99. But just the economy, inflation is getting too high. Yeah, ridiculous, but um, so we saw that report. And then miggy, um, I didn't know this, but mig sisters used to work at pioneer chicken yeah, my, my older, my older sisters, they, uh, they worked at pioneer chicken.
Mig:That's why we we ended up loving it so much, because they would always bring leftovers and um, one funny story that's probably gonna gross everybody out. But uh, back then I did.
Lano:They had a nice crust right like. That's what it was known like the bread.
Mig:Yeah, it was good well, not, not with the chicken I mean it's not something with the chicken it's a reason why my oldest sister God bless her and rest her soul she would never get orange whip.
Lano:And that orange whip is the knockoff orange bang. Right yeah, orange whip, orange bang, whatever.
Mig:She would never in her life get it Because of how they prepared it there. They would use the same bucket, that they would mop the floor with what?
Lano:They use the same bucket to mix, or that's just the policy that they were trying to. That's just the way they had them. Do it dude. They only had one bucket in the store and they had a share in it.
Mig:I guess, dude, I guess buckets were at a premium back then, or some shit store. I guess, dude, I guess buckets were at a premium back then or some shit. I don't know, dude, but she would never touch the orange whip or the orange bang, whatever it was at the time.
Lano:Even if you clean the I mean wash the bucket, you need to have a separate bucket. Yeah, no, you got to have a food grade one, because there could be like residue left, uh-huh, you know.
Mig:But yeah, she says, that's why she would never touch it.
Mig:You know like, ooh, that's not good, dude, that's not good.
Lano:Well, that kind of reminds me because I went to a Catholic school growing up. So we would have like mass once a month and my wife used to ask me how come I never you know you receive the host. Like I never drink the blood, like I never go drink the wine? And she would ask me how can you never drink the wine? Because in high school, going to a catholic all boys school you're, you're going to mass like you would just grab the wine and like kind of like rinse your mouth with it. So, like you, you would like try to get the guy behind you so you're in line, you get the, the wine, you pour it into your mouth, rinse it and then when you bring it back down, you let it roll back into the cup so you're back washing it to fuck with the dude behind you, to mess with the dude behind you and then like the guy from doing it way back to the end.
Lano:The guy is just full of babas or whatever. Damn so, like they used to do those tricks at school. So, like now, I like I never drink the the wine because, like I, I just grew up traumatized, never drinking the wine. Jeez, and that's Catholic school. I was like you, never drink it. Terrible, that's what we would do If you people could see me right now.
Mig:Dude, I'm shaking my head in pure disgust.
Lano:Well, so that was the only story. I thought you had a bunch of stories. That was the only story you had for Pioneer.
Mig:Yeah, I mean, that's the one that stood out, that's the one I remembered, the orange whip one, and they're like teenagers, yeah they were teenagers, wow.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:That's crazy. I've been to that East LA Pioneer Like Maybe once in the last 10 years Just because I remember it was there. You see it passing by, but I remember it used to be good To get like a family pack.
Mig:Nah, I would get those chicken tenders. Chicken tenders for me. A little bit of barbecue sauce, a little strawberry shortcake or a Boston cream pie for dessert Hell yeah.
Lano:And what's cool about the report? They said that they're bringing back the retro boxes and stuff.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:I wonder if they start growing again coming up.
Mig:Well, from the report it made it seem like it started out as a family. The same family still runs it right. Yeah, that's what it seemed like it started out as a family, the same family still runs it right.
Lano:Yeah, that's what it seemed like they reported. Right, yeah Well, man, I mean, and they just kept it going. They closed all the holes.
Mig:Yeah, hopefully they kept it going.
Lano:Hopefully they can keep it going, man, because it's good chicken my wife was showing me because I remember you were talking about that Del Taco in Barstool, oh yeah, and my wife saw like I don't know if it was YouTube or it was like News Report, but the one that you were talking about, like apparently that guy has like three restaurants in Barstool. He has three Del Taco restaurants and apparently like Del Taco gave him those restaurants but they allow them to keep the original menu from when he opened it. He has some relationship so he uses the original recipe for the Del Taco, which is real ground beef, and this and that, and he only has maybe three things on the menu from when it was back then.
Mig:He doesn't have all the new Del Taco million items on the menu. Because you the, because you still haven't gone to it. I still haven't gotten to it. Yeah, because that that doubt. The del taco, yeah, the, it's big dude, it's like, it's like almost like two or three of them in one and and they, they show them making it there and it just looks like a fresh taco.
Lano:But yeah, it's a big ass taco I just I gotta go out there and have a bar, so I haven't been to vegas in a while. There's some. I want to see that sphere, and then I gotta see some other stuff we should go, man.
Mig:That would be a fun weekend. I gotta take you to all our spots, man yeah, I want to.
Lano:I want to do all those food trips, and that's what I think we're just gonna do like especially the ramen dude.
Mig:I would want to take you to the ramen spot the ramen, the um, the italian spot.
Lano:What's it called um?
Mig:oh, capels Capels. Yeah, dude, you would love that place, yeah, we should. We should plan something Like for the summer or the spring, or something. That way we could do like you know, spend Saturday Like at the pool or something.
Lano:Yeah.
Mig:Just relaxing and everything you know.
Lano:Yeah, my wife's Itching to get out, cause she's been these past three years. She's been pregnant half the time, half the time she's been pregnant, and she's ready just to live life again.
Mig:Well, get off of her fool. Give her time to recover.
Lano:And now the little ones. I don't even think you've met my little one yet. No, I had to bring her out. She's getting big, open your eyes. So once she starts moving, and then Ellie's starting to talk and sing. Every day she's singing a new song and I got to put the pieces, like where'd you learn that song? And then she'll show me. She was singing the La Llorona song. She saw it on Coco.
Mig:Oh shit.
Lano:And she was just singing it and I was like my wife's like you hear that? And I was like yeah, and I was like what is it? And then she's like that's Coco. And I was like oh wow, so she's big. So we got to do another food spot. Yeah, we need our listeners to send us some places to try the burrito spot. We haven't done. We still have to try that chicken spot. I'm waiting on Ricky because I think he's the busy one right now on the weekends.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:Because he's already making plans like going to the lake and all that stuff or Baja. So I got to find out, get his schedule, when's the free time, even maybe go see another soccer game or something, but we got to go.
Mig:Yeah, but I did the weekend. Man Forget it.
Lano:That's why. And then I have every other Friday off. So if we want to go do a food thing on a Thursday night or Friday, we can do that before he takes off. But I just know he's like busy during the week, yeah, and you guys, the summertime, you guys get more busy, or no? Or?
Mig:you just have longer days. Just it's longer days, you know, since there's more, there's more light out, more daylight out, we take advantage, yeah. Cause I don't know if you ever Try to work in your car at night, in the dark, with flashlights. It sucks, it sucks, yeah, you know. So that's why, during the winter, we're usually off Whenever the sun goes down, cause we don't like working at night.
Lano:And I'm sure you guys have like pro lights and stuff, but shadows and all that stuff, no, I mean we got lights and everything.
Mig:It's like, if we have to, we do, and believe me, we've done it, but it just it sucks, dude, because, like you say, shadows, you know you drop something At least during the daylight you can see it. If it rolls somewhere, it sucks, dude, because, like you say, shadows, you know you drop something At least during the daylight. You can see it. If it rolled somewhere, you know at night you're only lit up where you're lit up, and if it rolled somewhere you didn't see where it rolled.
Lano:Yeah.
Mig:And then you're looking for it and it makes everything like longer. It does dude. It's terrible.
Lano:Well, you know, I mean it's summertime. Well, no, I mean today it was 80 degrees. It's getting hot again. It's going to rain this weekend, but it's starting to get hot, it's going to rain this weekend. Yeah, Saturday, Sunday. Oh shit, I'm starting to turn on the AC and stuff, but I've been really getting to the bandwagon show. Hey, I know you've been watching Any of the Dodger games.
Mig:Nah.
Lano:Yeah, the Shohei, like I mean I know he had that little like Gambling issue With his interpreter, but like what um?
Mig:I had a Customer the other day. We went to go work on. It's a toll company that we have in South Central and um One of the the manager, I guess there he, uh, he was like all like he's like what do you guys think about what they did to that chick that caught the Shohei home run?
Mig:And I was like what? What happened? He was like, yeah, they did her dirty man. He was like, because she caught the ball and right away, you know, security came and separated her from her husband and all they offered her for that Shohei home run ball was like two caps and a baseball bat, I don't know what, in a jersey, you know, and it's like they did her dirty fool. So this was. I'm like, was any of that shit autographed? It's like I don't know. Did you hear anything about what she was compensated?
Lano:Well, it was like on the news. I saw a couple reports that. So it was his first home run as a Dodger and it happened to be at Dodger Stadium.
Mig:And the Dodgers really wanted that ball so they could display it. It wasn't the show he wanted it.
Lano:Oh, it was the Dodgers. Yeah, so she caught it.
Lano:Well, according to this dude, that's what he told me she caught it and then the news article according I mean the news article according to supposedly what she said two guys came up like a security guard and then some stadium official or something like that, and they were like, oh, shohei really wants that ball. And like she's like, oh okay, she wanted to get that ball autographed by Shohei and keep it. But they're like he really wants that ball, like we'll give you two hats for it, and then she said no. So I think they said like we'll give you two hats and a bat, all signed by Shohei, and then she took it. But she said she felt pressured, they had separated her from her husband.
Lano:And she was on the side and she felt pressured, but I think she could have kept it.
Mig:Okay, so she knew what she was doing.
Lano:Yeah, I mean.
Mig:Yeah, see the way this guy, this dude at the toe place, tells it. He makes it seem like the chick didn't know what she was doing, that she was all drunk and that the Dodgers bamboozled her. I'm like whoa, whoa, whoa.
Lano:I'm like, oh, I'm like whoa.
Mig:I'm like at any point in time that she could have said no, right, that's all she had to do.
Lano:I mean she accepted, like there yeah, at first those two hats, and then like two hats, I'm bad. And then like when? Then we'll sign them all and she's like okay, she gave me, whatever he's all, he's all talking about.
Mig:That was wrong. That was wrong. I thought, dude. I thought, okay, say you're at a poker game and or you're at a casino or whatever. And you know cause? His, his excuse was that she was all drunk and everything. She didn't know what she was doing, uh huh. So I tell him, okay, I tell him. So You're gonna tell me that if you're, like, at a casino, and this degenerate, you know is just Drunk out of his mind and he wants to keep on gambling and he doesn't have money, but and you offer him 500 bucks for it and he gives it to you, you're going to tell me you're going to feel bad.
Lano:Mm-hmm.
Mig:Because you got a Rolex for 500 bucks off of him, right? It's like no dude. I mean it's his fault for putting himself in the position that he's in. You know, it's like you don't have to be that drunk at a game. You know you don't have to give up anything. You don't have to be that drunk at a game, you know you don't. You don't have to Give up anything. You don't want to. You could have Held out for more.
Lano:So this is the LA Times. It says she got an autograph Bat, an autograph ball and then two autograph caps. But I think it's like she did it. But then after the fact people started like well, you could have sold it for like a million dollars or this and that so now, I don't think a million or whatever I mean, people put, like you know, dollar signs in her, in her head, I think so.
Mig:Now she's complaining that she's no well me, me personally had had I caught that ball, I would have told them give me about, um, all that autograph stuff you're going to give me, and maybe about 50 grand, and we got a deal.
Lano:So it says here that she wanted to keep, potentially, the six-figure ball and then the Dodgers said they will not authenticate it and it'll be worthless. So she gave in. But I'm thinking that, like after the fact that they're like, oh that, like people told her, like oh, you just got a hat, or whatever like that, because she were like, you know, they, they offered something, she countered. Then they offered something they countered because, like it said, that she went back and forth like a couple times.
Mig:How stupid. How stupid I mean. I mean, this is just me the way. I think I, I would have been like screw you guys. You authenticated. It's like I'm on TV, I'm on camera.
Mig:Right, yeah.
Mig:It's like everybody knows I caught it. It's like everybody knows this is it.
Lano:And nowadays they'll freeze frame that ball and see some little stuff on it and look at the ball. They'll freeze, frame the footage and then they authenticate it, but that's what I was figuring.
Mig:Potentially it's about $100,000 for that ball, but that's what I'm saying. I would have taken the autographed stuff and everything, autographed it and given it $50,000. We'll call it a day, but that's me.
Lano:I think because the ball I mean, would the ball be numbered?
Mig:No, I mean when he I thought, because what the argument they're going to say is that there was no way you're going to know that that's the exact ball, because they're not marked, you know, they're not serial numbered.
Lano:But MLB balls are different, though. Right, they have like some official logo. Yeah, they're different. I mean you could tell which ones are for MLB and which ones are not.
Mig:But I'm saying, unless it was like chasing a record, then they mark them right, then they start marking them yeah.
Mig:You know, it's like Like batches in this one, yeah, you know.
Mig:so like say someone say it was the home run race, you know, between McGuire and Big Head Bonds. You know those balls were marked, they had like little holograms on them or little chips and those you can scan the chips and know that those were it.
Lano:So I I think, um, she worked out a deal then after, like you know, she realized and now she wants more because, um, you saw, like um shohei, he wanted that his like a number, I guess the number he had before with the Angels, and that pitcher had it, the one, oh, kelly, kelly had it. And then, like he bought his wife like a Porsche or something like that, yeah, he, bought him a car, like a ridiculous freaking car. So if Shohei wanted, that ball he would have like paid for it or given something up for it.
Mig:That's what. I'm not on the Dodgers side because I completely hate the ownership and you know, screw them, you know. But on that same note, I wouldn't have made it easy for them to get that ball.
Lano:Right.
Mig:You know, because just the way they keep screwing the fans with making the game more and more expensive to see and watch and just to be a fan of you know, it's like I wouldn't have gone easy on them. So they're saying that she got bamboozled or whatever, but it's like if she felt that she was pressured, then that's on her, I mean.
Lano:But right now I don't know how many games they played, but so few weeks. But Shohei has three home runs and I think Mookie Betts he was leading the league for a while, I think with three or four.
Mig:Yeah, I think I hear Mookie's on fire. Dude, he started on fire. Yeah.
Lano:So the Dodgers are starting hot. I haven't been to a game since pre-COVID so I haven't seen the stadium, but I'm getting excited about it to go check out a game. Dude, I don't think I've been to a game in over 10 years and this would be the closest sporting event to us.
Mig:Because I had my boycott from when they took him off TV. Are they still on? Yeah, you can watch them on DirecTV. Oh, they're on DirecTV.
Lano:Yeah, Because before it was only for Spectrum right?
Mig:No, it was during COVID, during COVID that they started putting them back on TV.
Lano:Oh, but that exclusive video was only Spectrum, yeah it was only Spectrum. So now they're on Fox, or what are you talking about? Or just something else that channel Like on Fox, or what are you talking?
Mig:about or just something else that channels on something else. Yeah.
Lano:I think Fox Sports West.
Mig:Okay, one of those, yeah.
Lano:so I mean I want to see a game because I think these two are going to be good.
Mig:No, but that's what I'm saying. It's like, after they put them back on TV, I'm like, okay, it was like I could go start and watch the games again and I started seeing the ticket prices. I starting to watch the games again and I started seeing the ticket prices. I'm like, are you kidding me, dude? I haven't looked at that yet. I'm like reserves used to be $20. It's like now, depending on what game you go to, you're paying up to $60. I'm like, are you effing kidding me?
Lano:I can imagine now that they got Shohei. No matter how much they upgrade the food or they make it gourmet, it's still not enough for those ticket prices.
Mig:You see, for me, I don't care about that dude, because I'm going to go to the game, I'm going to have a beer, I'm going to have a hot dog.
Lano:I'll have some peanuts and then maybe get an ice cream.
Mig:I don't think they have that old you can eat bleacher no more. Nah, nah, that's all gone.
Lano:Since that old you can eat bleacher no more that's all gone like since they remodeled that area.
Mig:Days and past those are like hot seats now, like when they were, because everything's all connected now you can walk.
Lano:You can walk around the whole stadium yeah like they connected the oh, so you'd be able to walk to that. They connected.
Mig:They connected the bleachers to the to the the stadium yeah so there's walkways there because I guess, uh, that whole area that they did in the outfield, they want that accessible to everybody during the game in the stadium, so you can walk out there.
Lano:And then they built those home run seats where they put like a counter behind the wall and one day I was like, oh, one day I want to sit here, maybe have a chance to catch a home run. Then I looked there like out of my price range.
Mig:Yeah. Forget it, like I'll never sit there, not range yeah, and forget it like I'll never sit there, not not by choice, just because I want to be able to afford it. And then you put on top of that how?
Lano:much you charge for parking. Yeah, forget it, dude. I mean, I mean, I don't know how much they part, but it's not surprising. If I say 40 bucks, right, is it more than 40 or more?
Lano:last, time I mean last time I went it was over 20, like 25, 30, so I can imagine what it is now especially, like I mean the last time the beers were like 18 bucks, yeah, so you're dropping 20 for a beer, like a beer, and then $2 tip if you wanted to Dude. That's a whole other episode. I want to have, like on tipping. Tipping to me Is getting all out of control. No, like, like everybody expects a tip and like you know they roll around that little machine, yeah, and like you know they roll around that little machine.
Mig:Yeah, the only place I say tip all the time is if you're in Vegas.
Lano:The teller, I mean the.
Mig:In Vegas regardless, anybody. Waitress, the valet. You know people serving. If anybody's serving you anything, tip them.
Lano:You know, because those people that are surviving on tips okay dealers, cashiers, you know just bartenders, waitresses, everybody do yeah, okay, I mean, I'll hear you like you'll tip your, your, your. Well, I guess you get haircuts, no huh I cut my own hair.
Mig:Okay, your own hair. Yeah, own hair. That's why it gets so long. I barely cut it this morning.
Lano:I tip my hair person.
Mig:No, but I would. I mean, I was already at the point where I was being so lazy to cut my own hair. I was going to go. The last time I cut my hair at a barbershop was maybe two years ago, mm-hmm. And I don't have hair, dude, I'm bald, you know. So when it starts growing out the sides and everything, it's like it's not much. It takes about five, ten minutes.
Lano:It's just a machine. You're not doing anything. Yeah, it's just.
Mig:Sometimes I don't do it myself because my shoulders are so bad I can't really reach back there. You know it's like I don't have the range of motion and if I do then it hurts, you know, like right away. But so I would get it done 25 bucks. Yeah, I'm like dude, are you kidding me? Man, it's like can't come to a break. I'm like at least give me a shave or something, or trim really like at least. Well, give me a shave or something, or trim my beard or do something, man.
Lano:We used to cut our hair. Is Ricky still cutting hair? No, not even myself, or no?
Mig:He cuts his own hair too. He cuts his own hair, yeah.
Lano:We would all line up like, or he would have like a line of people.
Lano:Yeah, rick was good, though my rick was good with his fades, but I was um, because I'll say my wife like oh, I only tip the restaurants. I like, like the, like my personal favorites. And then she's like why are you even doing that? And I was like they didn't even. All you do was like order and pick up your food. They didn't even serve you. And she had me like thinking about it, like like everybody just wants a tip, and then like if now that the economy, prices are up and everything Like.
Lano:You really can't Afford to give away money right now, or just extra stuff.
Mig:That's true. But, um, if you go and you like Sit down To eat somewhere, then I definitely think you gotta tip yes If someone's like. Waiting at your table Getting out there. But like, as far as like, you go to a drive-thru and they turn that screen around and they say Would? You like to tip or nah, I always push, no.
Lano:Or pull a local Wingstop when you just order the food and grab it yourself, like no tip or whatever.
Mig:It's like right now, before I came, you know, cause I didn't want to eat Late, so I just Grabbed something quick Through McDonald's, you know. So they got, did the price go up? They?
Lano:got their law.
Mig:Well, no, I always look for the cheapest thing, dude it's like. So I mean. So they got their law passed where they're getting 20 bucks an hour?
Mig:For minimum wage for fast food places.
Mig:Yeah for the minimum wage for the fast food places. And this is what I'm saying, you know. It's like they raise the minimum wage, but and this is what I'm saying, you know it's like they raise the minimum wage, but the service gets worse. Yeah, and that's what pisses me off. It's like, so you're going to start charging me more.
Lano:It's going to get worse Because they're cutting back, you know, because McDonald's.
Mig:You know how most drive-thrus, the bigger ones, they have two lanes and it alternates One car.
Lano:They take one order theythrus, the bigger ones.
Mig:They have two lanes and it alternates One car. They take one order, they take another order the left, right, left right. Okay, well, I pull up when there's one car already in the right lane, no other cars. Left lane's empty, so I pull into the left lane, sitting there for a while For like a good minute or two, nothing. The car in the right lane Pulls up.
Lano:A second car came. Second car came In that same lane, put the order in, pulled up.
Mig:Third car came no way, put the order in, pulled up, and I was like, hey, I'm screaming, I'm like yo Right, and they just didn't look at that camera or whatever, I don't know.
Lano:You know, I was like, hey, I'm screaming, I'm like yo Right, and they just didn't look at that camera or whatever, I don't know.
Mig:You know I'm like dudes. It's like I'm like how can you just completely ignore it? I mean, if you don't want to deal with the other lady, put a cone.
Mig:Yeah close it yeah.

Mig:Which McDonald's was that? It's on Santa Anita and Lower Azusa. Oh, over there Right in the parking lot of Sam's Club.
Lano:Oh yeah, I think I know man, that would have pissed me off. I would have just drove out. I mean that would have got me that upset.
Mig:I was hungry though.
Lano:Boycott McDonald's on Lower Azusa.
Mig:No, not boycott, I'm just saying, dudes, it's like, get your shit together, you know. That's why you're gonna be Replaced by machines. Don't piss off a fat man and his food. Keep on drifting.
