Welcome back to the Drift Down the Roya Podcast. This is Migg.
Lano:This is Lano, RK67.
Mig:What's up. What's up, what's up? Heatwave is done. Yeah, Gonzo F, that Heatwave. Yeah man, Good ratings.
Lano:You know, just another week, another day, nice and comfortable in the studio. Yeah.
Mig:It's not freezing cold from the AC, it's not burning up from the Heatwave, just nice.
Lano:Another week, another failed assassination attempt. That was pretty crazy Whack.
Rick:Another week, another failed assassination attempt to the big homie.
Lano:That was pretty crazy Whack.
Mig:Okay before we go any further, a couple things I wanted to address. Last week we didn't get to it.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:Mainly because I forgot to mention it, but there were a couple things I did want to mention last week. Number one rest in peace to Darth Vader. Oh yeah, james Earl Jones. James Earl Jones, that one hurt man yeah.
Lano:That one freaking hurt. That's our youth right there. Such a great body of work with that guy man, I mean everything From when we were kids. It started with the Star Wars. Yep, with his voice alone. Man. That one hurts man. Rest in peace.
Mig:I just wanted to throw that shout out there to show a little respect. But the other, more serious and more important thing I wanted to cover was, um, when we recorded the show it was a day before and I always forget that it's coming out after and I should have brought this up. But, um, the anniversary of 9-11, oh yeah and that's just that, yeah exactly, you see, and that's just.
Mig:Oh, it was yeah, exactly you see, and that's just something that we should never, ever Forget about. Yep, you know it's like because, when you think about it, that's already. It's already 23 years ago.
Lano:That that happened. That's nuts.
Mig:So that's almost like a generation that doesn't know.
Rick:Anything About 9-11.
Mig:You know you see 9-11 and they're just thinking like, whatever you know, it's know anything about 9-11? You know you see 9-11 and they're just thinking like, whatever you know, it's just another date, you know, and it should never be forgotten, you know, because who knows if they're gonna teach about it in the history books or or what you know?
Mig:yeah, yeah it's like because, like, even like world war ii and everything like the, the day that they bombed pearl harbor, you know, it's like we don't know the date. Huh, december 7th, oh, I didn't know it. 1941. The day that we live in infamy, I didn't know that one.
Rick:These are dates we've got to make an effort to remember.
Lano:Yeah, I mean, and it's important, I mean 9-11,. Yeah, because that happened during our time.
Mig:It's important, you know, because a lot of people died you know, and a lot of people were sacrificed and everything.
Lano:Well, even the people that died on the plane, in the building and then after fact, yeah, and all the people.
Mig:And then all the firefighters and police officers that are dying to this day.
Lano:Yeah, because of all, the, Because of all the contaminants and everything.
Mig:You know it's like, so we got to remember them you know, and just you know, just on your own, just a little prayer for those families that had their loved ones lost. I just think it's important to mention it.
Rick:So it was 2001,. 23 years ago. Yeah, wow, that's crazy, that's amazing right?
Mig:Yeah, it's like blinking my eyes.
Lano:You said 23 years ago, and I think about I mean we've already talked about it because we've talked about it before Like I was at Home Depot in the morning when I heard about that.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:So then I think back, like how far back it was when I was at Home Depot. I'm like damn man Can't believe it's been that damn long.
Rick:And how long? Have you stopped working at Home Depot.
Lano:It's been a while and how long have you stopped working at Home Depot? I was with Neptune since old two until last year.
Rick:So that was 22 years. Oh, so the year after is when you switched yeah, 22 years with Neptune.
Lano:Then we got one year with our new company, MGR.
Rick:Completely one year exactly, almost. Huh, yeah, it was around this time. Yeah, it was August 21st was our official.
Lano:You don't have that on exactly almost huh. Yeah, it was around this time. Yeah, it was August. August 21st was our official. That's what. You don't have that on your shirts huh Like established 2023?.
Rick:Oh no, yeah, we got to.
Lano:You should put that. I got to tell Marcos.
Rick:So then I mean now that it's your company you're building a legacy but yeah you know.
Mig:I just thought it was really important to mention that.
Lano:Yeah, never forget, never forgotten.
Mig:Teach the youth what happened. Yeah, never forget, man, because that was a terrible moment in time, you know us recording.
Rick:In LA there used to be memorials that the they didn't. I don't remember they didn't do that this year at all.
Mig:No, well it's because sometimes you know, it's like you start changing, you start to forget.
Lano:Well, no, but they're already like trying to erase all that, like they don't want people to be talking about that.
Rick:Because I saw, ricky, there was like a piece of debris or the building at the fire academy. Yeah, at the fire academy and they would always have something, a ceremony there, but this year I don't remember anything.
Mig:You know, they might have still had it, but they got no publicity Right. You know, because Rick says you know, it's like the rhetoric or the what am.
Lano:I? What's the word?
Mig:I can't believe I'm stuck for a word.
Lano:You know what it is. It's people coming together and I think they frown upon that patriotic. Yeah, you know that's the thing it's like.
Mig:I want to know since when has patriotism become such a bad thing?
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:You know, it's like why are you going to yell at me and bark at me and tell me that I'm racist and I'm this and I'm that and everything, just because I'm patriotic, because you're American, just because I love my country? Man, it's like why? It's like, but yeah, you get all these dumb kids, you know, that are all proud of Mexico or whatever. Yet they've never been there, you know. But they claim, you know, their Mexican pride and this and that or whatever, and fly their Mexican flags and all this shit.
Mig:You know, I'm guilty of it, I did it, you know, and so I wised up, you know, and it's like, yeah, it's fine, you know it's like be proud of your heritage, be proud of your culture and everything. But you know, and it's like, yeah, it's fine, you know it's like be proud of your heritage, be proud of your culture and everything. But, dude, you're living here. You know it's like be proud of your country and be proud to call yourself American man, because so many people would kill to be in your position, dude. And you know, for you to just take that for granted, man, I mean that just really, it really just chaps my ass. Man, I mean that just really, really just chaps my ass man, you know so.
Rick:I'm on Wikipedia right now and they have like a diagram of the planes, like the debris, and you got like landing gear landed like three blocks away.
Mig:Yeah.
Rick:Crazy Four blocks.
Mig:I mean I don't want to make the whole show that. I just wanted to bring it up, you know, and just make sure that people remember you know and if you have you know, if you don't know about it, I'm sure it's easy to look up stuff on it. You know, and learning channel, discovery channel, history channel they got tons of footage and specials and documentaries on it.
Rick:So yeah, like my girls um once, two and a half once you know six months um, that happened 20 years before they were born, so I don't even know like I'm gonna have to educate them on that you know.
Mig:So I mean, the point is is, like we said Since the day that it happened Never forget, just never forget. So that's my point.
Rick:Moment of silence. Let's keep.
Mig:No, I mean, it would be good, but A moment of silence?
Rick:What 20 seconds?
Mig:No, I mean that's, that's fine, it's already just that, pause All right, we can move on.
Rick:We had Tacos Frontera. Tacos Frontera, a new taco spot that opened up in the neighborhood, and so what do you guys think of it? Food review people, food review.
Lano:We did a food review. Surprise food review. Gorilla food review. It's in Cypress Park on Cypress Avenue.
Mig:And we actually did it right before the show. Yeah, so it's fresh in our heads, it's fresh in our heads.
Rick:It's fresh in Ricky's mouth right now.
Lano:Yeah it is. So what did you guys order? What did we grade? I'm actually.
Mig:This agua de piña. I call it a lemonade, but whatever, they call it a piña. Pretty, delicious.
Rick:What did we order?
Lano:So it was Six tacos de pastor, three tacos de asada, a burrito de asada. Just to try the two different taco and the burrito and they also have chorizo.
Rick:They have lengua and they have something else you had. You had the same thing no, I know, but it's on the menu, but that's like the main heavy hitter right, that's what people are going to go for yeah, I didn't put nothing extra on it, just like that.
Lano:So we just ordered them just the way they came, wow, I had horchata and it was already starting off because maybe I mean, I know horchata is going to be, you know, depending on the person, that horchata was not for me. I don't like that. That taste of horchata is too sweet. It has like a weird, like a lot of say kind of an ice cream taste. Like I don't like that, that style of horchata. So the horchata is a no go for me.
Rick:Hmm. Yeah, the horchata tastes like a little sweet, like yeah, it tastes like ice cream like a vanilla ice cream, yeah.
Mig:Yeah, I like the drink that I got.
Lano:I mean, it's not that it's bad, it's just it's not the kind of flavor that I like. It's not your cup of tea, yeah, okay, so I'm not going to knock it just because it's a personal preference of the way I like horchata.
Mig:So as far as the food, Go to that picture Asada tacos.
Rick:Yeah.
Lano:On the bottom, right there in the middle.
Rick:Oh, that was a different restaurant, so this is a. They didn't put nothing on the asada here.
Mig:Someone probably ordered it that way.
Lano:I thought that's how TJ tacos were, don't they put?
Mig:No, they put the cilantro and the onion on it. They don't put the guacamole on it. They don't put the guacamole on it, no guacamole.
Rick:Because they didn't have that on there.
Lano:They didn't have guacamole on there.
Mig:You see me I'm one for I don't like too much stuff on it. It's like for me I'm, I guess, like a taco purist, to where what we grew up with, with the taco trucks around us, where the flavor of the meat itself carried the taco and the flavor of the salsas. Yeah, you know, it didn't need this big, gigantic dollop of guacamole on it.
Rick:Yeah, we just ordered tacos and they came with everything already.
Mig:Or this crema on it. You know the al pastor was good, flavorful, it was good, but I could have done without that cream that they put on it, only because I don't like it when you put too much stuff on it. You know, it's like even like some people say, like put the pineapple. I've never had it with the pineapple and I've had had it with the pineapple and I don't like it.
Lano:You've had it, I've had it, oh yeah.
Mig:I don't like it with the pineapple. But the way they show them on the pictures, you know where they put all this cream and they put all this gigantic spoon of guacamole and everything. It's just. That's not for me, you know, because for me that's hiding the flavors of everything else.
Rick:See, ricky this one has guacamole. They didn't put it on there. Yeah, they must have went out.
Mig:You see, and that's the thing Right there, you know, so we had. I wanted purposely just to have tacos so I could taste the meat, and the asada was very unimpressive, very bland, seems like no seasoning whatsoever. You know, if they're not going to season it, then they should at least do it like over mesquite, not just like over a charbroiler, you know. So that way at least it picks up Some kind of like smoky flavor or something, but just like that.
Lano:The asada and the burrito. The asada and the burrito was a little bit better Because of the cheese. The cheese helped it out For me.
Mig:Cause. Then you got a little bit of the flavor there. Since they had that big open window where you could see, like the chefs.
Rick:Or the cooks.
Mig:Putting everything together. I saw how the guy was putting together the tortas and like all the because there's one guy working the pastor, the trompo, and there's another guy working the asada and other meats, I guess and I see them making a torta, putting it all together. It looked good and he put the meat on there and it looked like he put a spoonful of like some kind of like a juice, like a orange or some something which probably they did to the burrito also, which is why it had much more flavor than the tacos. You know, it might be like a consomme from their birria or something, I don't know.
Rick:But and right here ricky says that the parking that we parked, that that's not their parking lot. Oh no, so it's the other business.
Lano:But maybe after hours.
Mig:After hours, it's fine, yeah ain't no biggie, but um well, that's the pineapple right there, huh yeah, yeah, no, at the spot where I go.
Lano:It's not a big chunk like that, it's just a very small slice of pineapple, just barely enough on the taco See. Look at that.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:You see, but even like that, the way it is like that, I wouldn't want it like that. I wanted to try the guacamole you know, know, because it just it hides everything I mean it comes.
Lano:I guess you gotta order it because that's that looks like a pastor there.
Rick:No, that's chorizo. Oh yeah, yeah. Every taco comes like wrapped up like in a, like a paper cone, yeah, and when I just see that I think like we're paying for all that stuff. I mean, the presentation is nice no, that's how.
Mig:That's how they make them in TJ.
Lano:I don't know the Pastor is just that I've had a pretty bomb Pastor by my house. With the review soon, so it doesn't hold the candle to this one.
Mig:I mean, this one doesn't hold the candle to me. It is difficult to find good Al Pastor.
Lano:That one that we found.
Mig:Outside of Mexico. It is so hard to find good Al pastor. Yeah, that one, that one that we found Outside of Mexico. It is so hard to find good al pastor.
Lano:That one is this one was just okay. Yeah, you know, and that sauce, I don't know what it was, but I started. I started having like tingling, a tingling in my mouth or something I felt. I felt the the top of my mouth and the gums below my teeth, inside and outside. I felt like my gums started getting wrinkled. I was like what the flip? I don't know if it was maybe the tortillas, because when I eat cornflakes I get the same feeling up on top.
Rick:You knew that, miggy, when he eats cornflakes, get the same feeling up on top. You knew that, miggy, when he eats cornflakes he gets like an alert of your action.
Mig:News to me. Yeah Well, I don't know, I mean Overall, if we're going to rate it.
Rick:Out of 10.
Mig:Out of 10, 6-7 About a 6.
Rick:I give it a 6. Yeah, I mean I welcome it to the neighborhood. Yeah, I mean I welcome it to the neighborhood it's different.
Mig:Will I go back? Yeah, yeah, because they're a lot better than how much do you think it cost?
Lano:Six, that's what I was going to ask you how much was it? It was six.
Rick:It was $76 total. For everything we got Eleven tacos. Eleven tacos. I got apple pie, Ricky.
Lano:Eleven tacos, a burrito and three aguas.
Rick:So the tacos are about $3.75. Wow, damn For the little tacos. The burritos are smaller than average burritos.
Lano:Is that what? How much taco was?
Rick:Yeah, a burrito's $12. And a smaller size burrito also, it's a small burrito too.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:Hey, and my spot, while they're taqueros on the street, the burritos are nice size dude.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:Yeah, for the size of that, one fresco's pretty expensive.
Rick:Yeah, because we go to the Rero's you get like a big giant one for almost like less the price.
Mig:Well, I mean, it's a brick and mortar, you know. So you know you gotta figure they gotta cover their overhead and everything yeah sides Consume I mean, that's what I'm saying, will I go back, probably, you know, because there's some people, maybe just to try that torta.
Mig:Yeah, cause there's some people that Put up their stands and everything that I've gone to. They're just they're not good. Yeah, you know, they're just not good and that's why A lot of times I don't wanna, you know, when I'm craving, like Asada or something, it's like I know I would have to Drive. You know, cause the like I know I would have to drive, you know, because the only spot I know where they have good trucks are on Valley, out there by the 605.
Rick:Well, I was going to say Whittier, like La.
Mig:Puente Right or Whittier, you know. So I would have to drive, you know.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:And I don't want to make that drive. You know, I want to be able to bring, get the tacos take them home and eat them at home.
Rick:You gotta do that, it's gonna. They're just gonna get cold. You gotta go to la carneceria, huh, yeah we bought some over the weekend.
Mig:Now I would say like that, I saw this better I mean better.
Rick:Well, I mean yeah, yeah, I think it's way better. Um, it's all prime beef. So when it says media, I'm assuming that's chivo or no, I mean it could be either.
Mig:Or I do want to go back and try the chivo. I would say they're probably Doing beef. I don't think they would do chivo, because I thought the default was chivo, not beef.
Rick:It depends.
Lano:I prefer the rest yeah.
Rick:Yeah, me too. Me too.
Mig:A lot of times they don't do the, they don't do the, they don't do the Chewable and it ends up Tasting funky.
Rick:Yeah, yeah, gaming to me, that's what I don't like. I can't even do Goat cheese.
Mig:But I'm telling you, if they do it right, like when I was in the F, that one trip I took to the the F.
Lano:And I had some.
Mig:Birria Borrego.
Rick:Uh huh.
Lano:Lamb.
Rick:Uh huh.
Mig:Dude that's like nothing.
Lano:You can't compare that.
Mig:Dude.
Rick:Dude, I wanna go to a trip, you talk?
Mig:about mouthwatering man so good Like a.
Rick:Mexico City trip With you guys. I mean, I need a A handler To go out and try All the food places.
Mig:Yeah, go to Go to that, open down that street when it's nothing but tacos man, nothing but taqueros.
Rick:That's what I want to do, if yeah. So we said what a six and a half?
Mig:Yeah, it's middle of the road.
Rick:It's okay, I'm going to take the wifey pie this weekend. I say six and then try some other stuff on the menu just before I give it my full review.
Mig:I would say I was disappointed. I kind of like hyped myself up.
Lano:You're going to wait to give it a full review?
Rick:I mean I'm going to try some more stuff, you know I mean, and then I went on a full stomach.
Lano:I mean really like the asada and the pastor. Like I said, that was like the heavy hitter were.
Rick:Yeah, yeah, the pastor to me had a lot of flavor. It has a little kick to it. I mean I'll take the, the wife and stuff and then we'll see. But I I want to try, like the torta and stuff, because maybe it's a torta place for me or the burrito.
Rick:I gotta try the oh yeah, the way you said they're making the burritos man, so yeah, so maybe that's that's, I gotta try the burrito, but but, um, I was really excited about it and people have been telling me about it, so I was excited about it and then people are telling me like it's in my neighborhood, so they're like you haven't tried it yet, because they're asking me about it and I was like no, but I'm a little disappointed, a little disappointed I mean, I wish them well, I wish them success, you know if they hear this you know, I hope you do a little bit more to season up that asada, a little bit more, you know, give it a little more flavor and that's the thing with those prices.
Rick:Like we'll see what the neighborhood will decide, like they're gonna. You know, a lot of people are just trying it for the first time, but like I'm gonna keep going at those prices. We'll see because, um that, that area, go back. Go back to the days of Rambles, man Rambles had some pastor dude, One of our good friends, Dolores. She said she just went last week, so she's gone multiple times, but she liked it.
Mig:Yeah, she enjoyed it.
Rick:We're going to have her on the show soon. Maybe we tried to get her today.
Mig:That's her right there, daria.
Lano:Maria, that's the food review You're going to wait for the full review after you go this weekend To get the drum roll. You want to do the drum. I mean no, you got to give your full review.
Rick:I mean, the food was okay, the prices were high.
Lano:We can touch back, we can touch back.
Rick:We'll touch back. We'll touch back. We'll touch back. All right, we'll touch back. Don't give it, don't give the full, because I only, I only have like a yay or nay, I don't have like uh in between well, let me tell you my adventurous weekend on saturday does it have to do with food, uh?
Lano:you got another food spot a little bit, yeah, a little bit, I mean I got, I got.
Mig:If're going to stay on the food topic, I got one thing I can say.
Lano:Well, I went to go get pan dulce at that bakery in Champurrado, ooh, the one across from.
Rick:In-N-Out.
Lano:Huh, no, it's over in La Puente. And so I went to the bakery bakery and the car has been messing up the Malibu and uh, the service battery Like kept coming on Service light and, um, the AC wasn't Like cooling anymore. And then, um, so Saturday morning I go you know why I want to try it? Because Vanessa was driving it so I wanted to drive it just to the bakery and back see what it was doing. So then when I put it on the voltage so I could see the voltage, and then I just kept seeing the voltage drop and then I'm like shit, I'm like halfway in it and it was was like three times while I was going with it. I was gonna go, just go back to the house, going, going, going. And then, um, I just see the voltage go and then it says steering, something, um, something's happening to the steering, drive safe. And then the steering gets hard. I'm like I have no more power steering. I'm like what the kiss your ass goodbye, yeah.
Lano:So then, like I'm turning really hard, and then like I was going to go back, and then the bakery was right there. We're like, well, you know, might as well, just drop in real quick, get the pan dulce, and then we pull in, you know, we get off. We go get the pan dulce and the Chaparral. We come back in the car and the car doesn't start. It's over, and I was going to leave it on, I wasn't going to turn it off, your alternator and it wasn't starting, no more. I forgot my wallet. I forgot my wallet. Vanessa paid for it. I forgot my wallet and my phone was about to die. I didn't know, I couldn't figure out, my damn, my login for the AAA.
Lano:So then I was like dude, I was so pissed off. It was Saturday morning, I was so damn pissed off. I had to get out of the car and walk up and down the street a little bit.
Mig:I was furious, I just started thinking about oh, pacing, yeah, I just started thinking about all the fucking junk cars there that are not running Like.
Lano:this is all I needed.
Rick:Well, at least it wasn't hot.
Lano:Another car that doesn't run to the damn junkyard in the back, and so I was able to log in and I got the guy and they said it was going to be here like in 30 minutes. When the guy finally got there, he tested out everything. He says, yeah, the battery's done. When the guy finally got there, he tested out everything. He says, yeah, the battery's done. And he, he was able to jump it. He jumped it, got it started and he, he was checking. He says, yeah, the alternator is done, and I was because I was signing the voltage. Yeah.
Lano:He's like, yeah, he goes, I'll just follow you home, I go. I told him I was, I live just close by. He's like, yeah, I'll follow you, I'll be right behind you. I'm like, all right, cool. So then I pull on and powers no, power steering. So I'm turning and I'm trying to make the red light and then the car in front of me stops and then, as the light turns green, we, we go, and as soon as I turn the corner, it turns off and the guy has to get his jumper and leave the jumper. I turn the corner, it turns off and the guy has to get his jumper in and leave the jumper connected to the car so it's jumped up again, but he left it connected. He like bungee tied it, tied the hood and everything.
Rick:So the hood's kind of open right.
Lano:Yeah, that's crazy. And then the lights.
Mig:I didn't think they would do that. Yeah, the lights going off. Hood is open. Hood is open.
Lano:I have everything off inside, but the hood is open and you know you had all that. So I made it to the house and I told dude, cool, you know thanks. And I was like, dude, what the fuck. I was like. I was already so pissed off. Well then, um, it wasn't until, like I think, um, sunday, me Manny. We pushed the car back in the driveway and yesterday, yesterday, I went to, I started taking it apart, I started looking at YouTube videos, I took it all apart, took the battery out and then I went. I could have sworn you had given me a braking bar and I couldn't find any braking bar in the garage. I thought I had it in the truck and nothing. I could have sworn. You gave me one. Manny was nowhere to be found. The one time that I need Manny there to come snooping and being nosy, he doesn't show up.
Lano:Like the whole time he's not there. So I could ask for a damn half-inch breaking bar Nowhere to be found and I was like dude, I was like nothing, and then I had a half-inch ratchet. But the space there's, the space in there to get it in. I couldn't get the space in there.
Rick:But you didn't have like pipeline around to like put it over the handle and no, the thing is the tensioner.
Lano:The tensioner. You can put a half-inch drive in it.
Mig:They actually have special tools that are real slim, that have the half-inch drive.
Lano:A regular, just a regular, damn braking bar. Well, let me get to that. Yeah, because we have those tools, I went to a.
Rick:So what I have on the screen. That's a braking bar.
Lano:I took everything apart. A braking bar is just the drive with the swivel on the bar.
Rick:So what I have on the screen right, yeah, okay.
Lano:So it doesn't have the head of the ratchet because it doesn't ratchet. Okay, so I took everything apart, took the battery out, I took everything apart and I started taking apart the disconnector, alternator and everything.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:And I couldn't get the damn thing. I went to Home Depot to go buy a breaking bar and then I go. I was like ah, you know what, I'll get one at Harbor Freight.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:And so I didn't get it there. I left it there and then I left straight to Costco to get the battery. Got the battery, went to Harbor Freight, got the breaking bar I had at Harbor Freight and they had this cool one that was kind of like a ratchet, okay, a ratchet on the head. I was like, oh, hell yeah, this is like a ratchet, okay, a ratchet on the head.
Rick:I was like oh hell, yeah, this is pretty clean you know I was already gonna get the regular one, that's what I saw pro it was uh, yeah, like this, no, no, it looked a little bit different look kind of like a wrench.
Lano:No, no, was it a pittsburgh? I think it is a pittsburgh it looks, yeah, it looks like kind of like. It looks like that one right there, that one, yeah, that one, that one, that one. Huh, I got that one. So that one was slick. I was like oh this is nice, man, that thing fit. No, it didn't. So I came back home and that stupid thing didn't fit. I couldn't do it.
Mig:I'm looking at it right there. I could tell you that shit wasn't going to fit.
Lano:I'm so enamored with this stupid damn ratchet feature. I'm like, oh yeah, this is badass, this is going to work. So then I get home and it doesn't fit Blood pressure's about right here now, I was like dude. It's like what the and then I said, said, fuck it, I got. I got a little like uh, an adapter, a three-eighths, a three-eighths drive to a half inch drive adapter I put that that bitch in there and I just got one of my fucking pipe wrenches and I just fucking.
Lano:I really released the damn tensioner to get the fucking belt off, and then I got the damn.
Rick:I finally oh, and then?
Lano:I got the damn alternator off and I couldn't get it out of the damn, out of that spot. And I finally get it out, go to AutoZone. They had the refurbished one there. They go oh, the one at Ramona has a brand new one. I'm like, nah, I go give me a brand new one. So I went to another AutoZone in Ramona, got that one, got the brand new one. Came back it was already dark. I'm like there's no fucking way I'm doing this in the dark. So I just waited for today. Well, you know, getting home from work today I was at Home Depot. I got me my damn. Oh no, I went to Harbor Freight and I got me my. Sorry, no, I went to Harbor Freight and they got me my Breaking bar. Sorry, no, autozone. I got the breaking bar at AutoZone when I bought the alternator because I was going to do it at night, but it was already done. So when I got home today, I go start putting everything back together.
Lano:Right, got the alternator in Alternator, was easy to adjust the three bolts and Everything was going smooth Up until I had to put that fucking Serpentine belt back on. That thing was pissing me off, man, just to slide it on the tensioner. You can't win, dude. That shit was pissing me off, man. I took off the old one Because it was starting to crack, so I bought a new serpentine belt, but I couldn't remember the way it went. I kept putting it on. I took off the old one because it was starting to crack, so I bought a new Serpentine belt. Okay, but I couldn't remember the way they went. I kept putting it on and I was having all kinds of slack.
Mig:I'm like what the fuck, there's no diagram on the.
Lano:I didn't even Anywhere on the shroud or anything, or on the hood.
Mig:I didn't even check. There should be a diagram somewhere around there, I probably should, I don't know.
Lano:I was just pissed off again. I was like pissed off again. I was like everything else went in smooth the battery, the alternator, everything. And the serpentine belt was the one thing that was giving me a pain in the ass and I couldn't Every which way I was doing it, up until I got it around the crank and then around the tensioner. You figured out the pattern. I was like, oh my God, dude, like what the fuck? Like a damn, this thing's like a damn riddle right here. Like I got it on and I was like I went once I got everything put back together, I'm like, dude, this better crank up, cranked it up and I was like, yeah, man. So I drove it around a little bit, did I? Took it to the driveway, car wash, yeah, deposited some checks, did some stuff, came back and boom, perfect. And then I was thinking. I was thinking like Fapo when he had the car, like if he had all that problem and, you know, kept having problems with the alternator and all that stuff.
Mig:The battery light.
Lano:yeah, I wonder if he was like getting refurbished alternators.
Mig:Probably, I don't know.
Lano:That's why, like they never were good, I don't think I ever did it.
Lano:Nah. So I don't know if, maybe because he didn't want to spend the money on a new one, he just said, probably, ah, refurbished is cool. Maybe that's why there was always an issue with it, but I was going to get a refurbished one and they're like nah, you know what, I'm going to get a brand new one. I go, give me a brand new one. So I didn't know. I mean, so far, no check engine light or nothing. So I was part of your test drive over here to. I drove it like a couple hours earlier today but man that I couldn't believe that it was so easy to take that alternator off and it was that stupid serpentine belt and that tensioner thing that was giving me a headache, dude.
Mig:Well, all that frustration and pissed off for everything you were, that's why we don't work on cars. You have the tools for all that, yeah, but still no. But now that you get the roof hangers and all that stuff, when you run into shit like that, and exactly how bad you are at anything from working on cars, that's how we don't work on cars.
Lano:The half-inch braking bar. You have that, the serpentine belt. You just said it yourself.
Mig:I'm saying Look at the diagram there. I'm saying the problems that you ran into and everything, how pissed off you felt and everything. That's what happens to us when we work on cars, but it wasn't like an issue that kept evolving.
Lano:It's just because I don't work on cars, you know better because you do work on cars, so it would have been a lot smoother for you.
Mig:No, I don't work on cars. I work on trucks. You never worked on cars. It's not the same thing. You never worked on cars.
Lano:It's not the same thing. You never worked on cars? Yes, but Okay.
Mig:So you have two.
Lano:You just said right now oh, did you check the diagram on the car? Like it didn't even occur to me, but you know that because you're familiar. It's what you do.
Mig:You're a mechanic, yeah, but still, with all this, new shit, the way everything comes on new, everything's completely different now. Yeah, well, that's why we avoid working on cars.
Rick:When I had my Fiat, as soon as I opened up the trunk people would just shake their head. Everything was jammed in there in the Fiat.
Lano:You have to take off fenders to get to stuff and remove parts to get to this part. You can't just repair it. That's why you went with a Tesla. That way, tesla can only work on it.
Rick:No, no oil changes. They bring their laptop and do a program and that's it.
Mig:Okay, mr Tesla lover, I got a story for you too. Let's circle back to the food stuff. Good job on getting your car working. By the way, yeah, have a pan dulce to get that blood pressure down. It called me down. So we're pretty much all in agreement that the best chili cheese fries that we've had is from Cypress Best, aka Frank's, and it's been like that for decades for us, and we've searched high and low everywhere we go for chili cheese fries.
Rick:And everybody we introduce, like my wife's family, we take them.
Lano:They all love it Javi Chris's, javi Everybody.
Mig:Everybody, yeah, okay. So this past weekend I get the dog, put him in the truck, decided to take him for a drive, just driving around, and the plan was to like on the way home I was going to stop at Cypress Best, get a burger, get some chili cheese fries and a soda for dinner. I'm near like I'm in the Eagle Rock area driving back. Is that Colorado?
Mig:No driving down Eagle Rock Boulevard. Okay, back towards our direction, and I figure you know what. I'm going to try something different, because I had gone to go deposit a check in Glendale and we passed by a Troy's where we used to eat a lot when we worked at Soto, but I was away from there. So I'm like you know what, let me try Patra's.
Rick:On New York yeah.
Mig:Patra's has been there forever. On New York.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:Patras has been there forever, you know, and I'm sure people in that area Swear that Patras is the best and everything.
Rick:Not the one by San Fernando Road in Cyprus. That one, no okay.
Mig:Right where it splits into the. Teguac Boulevard. So I go to Patras, I get a burger, get some chili fries and a soda. Wow, let me tell you, dude, I think I might have found something that tastes better the chili fries, yeah.
Rick:Ooh.
Mig:And I know that's a hot take and I know I might catch crap from some people. But Go back to those chili fries. To me like Cypress Best.
Lano:I don't know that looks a lot like Cypress.
Rick:Best they give it to you in the tray the same.
Mig:No, it's a big tray, though.
Lano:They don't have like sizes, they just have like a big tray that looks a lot like Cyaefer's best.
Mig:I think someone stole Schaefer's best, okay, well, that's a thing.
Rick:The texture is different.
Mig:The texture is more similar to Tommy's Chili is, so it's not like as wet.
Lano:This is it right here yeah but it looks a little too chunky.
Mig:Yeah.
Rick:That's what Tommy's I mean Texture.
Lano:That's that meat looks A little too chunky.
Mig:Well, it's all about the flavor, not the so yeah, so to me it seems my ass, your ass, the thing, the thing I've always Kind of like.
Lano:It's the same fries.
Mig:The thing I've always kind of had issue with the chili fries over here. Separate's best A little too strong on the cinnamon flavor, just like a hair over A little too strong. Well, a Patras dude. They got a totally different, like kind of like savory flavor. You really don't taste anything Of cinnamon in it, and so they only do one size yeah. I don't know how I feel about that. That's the other downfall. They only have that one big tray, you feel it?
Lano:Because it's like they just want to put it all out there it looks like they have this little one in here too, in the basket.
Rick:Yeah, what's that small one.
Mig:Well, I don't know. Because I asked for chili fries, that cheese has to melt. Because I asked for a special and I asked for chili fries Instead of the regular fries and they gave me that big tray.
Lano:So we might have to.
Mig:So you guys might have to go try it that looks like that.
Rick:Looks like cypress best right there you guys will probably have to go try it and see if I'm, if I'm crazy maybe like a head-to-head I never got that cinnamon flavor that miggy's talking about, so maybe oh look, they have a small one, so small chili cheese fries, okay, so maybe do a side by side but um, I really, really think I enjoy these chili cheese fries a lot more than Cypress Best. I mean, I have to try it. You know they took down the newspaper at Cypress Best with the article in LA Times. It wasn't up last time I went oh yeah. They used to be framed, but now it's not up.
Lano:They're giving their words to like these hipster restaurants. I mean.
Rick:Well, it was an old like article that was printed. I'm looking to see how much they are, but I don't see it on the menu yet I don't know. They look very similar to uh it says chili or bacon fries um 32929 or $4.89. So two sizes Alright.
Lano:We'll have to do a side by side test.
Rick:I'm very curious Now.
Mig:I'm curious about Dino's Cause I don't remember when was the last time I had chili fries at Dino's.
Rick:They were up there for you before. No.
Lano:They weren't up there for me. They were good, but not up there for you before?
Rick:No, they weren't up there for me. No, but why are you?
Lano:bringing up Dino's.
Mig:They're good, but not up there Well that's what I'm saying. It's like I got to go back and try it now.
Rick:Yeah, because you know what I don't really go try and chili cheese fries other places because I know Cypress is the best. I mean I'll try it every once in a while but then, like I get disappointed. Like you know, it's a chili brick and it's too heavy.
Lano:Yeah, but I'll have to try Patras. We're going to do that next week.
Rick:We could. We could do it next week. We could we bring it here. Let me know when I can stop by and go get it before he goes. This guy likes it right here, so see this right here. Jamie Oliver Revolution Burger.
Mig:Yeah.
Rick:So he had a TV show and then he revamped Patras and he put like it was supposed to be like a healthier menu and all that stuff.
Mig:Weekend. It was on ABC. That lasted for a while, but so it's still not there.
Rick:No, more.
Mig:I think they went back to their the old stuff.
Rick:Okay, I don't know I was wondering like did he change the chili cheese fries? Did he make it better? It was supposed to be like more healthier, more like less preservatives and all that stuff I don't know okay all right, so now I'm gonna, I'm gonna rip your tesla new ass. Wait, wait, wait, what, what you got? The cheese fries. What else did you get?
Mig:That's it. No burger or nothing.
Lano:How's the burger?
Mig:Burger is good. I think the burgers are better at Cypress. Okay, all right, but the chili cheese fries.
Lano:I think were All right. Hand him his ass, let's see.
Mig:Hand him his EV ass your piece of shit, teslas hey, you know what?
Lano:I'm not gonna knock teslas because I want. I want musta win.
Rick:So if a tesla's for you, by all means I'm waiting for you to make a van, because I'm waiting.
Lano:I'm waiting for you to, I'm waiting for you to see that damn cyber truck in the damn driveway.
Rick:You haven't oh, you haven't. Oh, you haven't. Oh, you've seen them in person.
Lano:Yeah, you haven't seen them.
Mig:Yeah, I've seen them all over the place now. Okay, so this story I had to tell this guy, especially since he has kids and it involves kids. Oh shoot.
Lano:The lady got locked out was trying to break the window.
Rick:Yes, I saw that.
Lano:She couldn't break the window.
Mig:Well, it was in the middle of the heat wave, she was charging that piece of shit. And when she got out to go unplug it, the freaking thing locks itself With the kid in the car seat. The AC wasn't on, supposedly. When you get in those things and you sit in them, as soon as you sit in them it turns on. Yeah.
Lano:Why it didn't turn on with the kid in there.
Mig:I don't know, Kid jumping in the driver's seat. No, no, there's a baby. It was like a toddler. It was in his car seat.
Rick:Damn. Well, there's a car seat feature.
Mig:You have to turn on that we have set up so when she got out to go unplug it because it was already charged, the stupid thing locks itself because it started doing a software update. Oh, is that?
Rick:what the reason was.
Lano:Dang. What the hell is this?
Mig:Can you imagine that dude and she could not get it open. You know, she was like banging on the window frantically, of course, and then the dude that was parked next to her, that was charging his, was trying to find something in his car to try to break the window. It's funny because he says he brings out this fishing weight, huge, freaking fishing weight.
Rick:Dude Like a grenade, like a metal. He had it in his car.
Mig:Yeah, I'm like what the hell are you fishing for dude? But he couldn't, he couldn't get it. Is this it right here? Yeah?
Rick:Well, this is the. Yeah, this is the video. So oh, I mean. I'm just telling my experience. But you need to Like tell the car that there's like Car seats in there. Oh, that's it right there. Yeah, he pulls up, he's another Tesla guy. And then oh man. Hey, so it didn't work. He's throwing it and then he's just watching. Then he gets like that's the weight. Oh, yeah. The fishing weight. Do it the other way, bro, and then he ends up getting there's like a Like, a tool, like for the jack.
Mig:No, he has some kind of hooker. Oh man.
Rick:Well, that comes in the car, that poor baby. I think that's for For towing.
Lano:Hey, if I was you, I would. I would Get some kind of clips or tie wires and tape like a, a baton Underneath the car or something dude. That way, if that ever happens, get the baton and start breaking the window Like a cop. I have a baton, you can have it. Oh, a real baton, a real baton. Yeah, so strap that underneath the car. Well, that's the thing For emergency.
Rick:So this thing has, like the car seats and then like the air, like I always push a button, like to leave the air on, like whenever.
Lano:I'm getting out when the kids are in there. Hey, you're not understanding what Go. This is a freak accident. It can happen to anyone.
Rick:No, no I understand.
Mig:Do you understand that?
Lano:Because it's all electrical.
Mig:It started doing a software update and it just overrode everything and locked everything up so you could have done what you're saying you're going to do and everything. But it started doing a software update.
Lano:But I'm just saying like normally If you don't want the baton, you don't have to take the baton, dude, I mean me having the car like it always asks you.
Rick:You want to do it If you want to be a responsible father.
Lano:strap a baton underneath that car and use it and leave it there for emergency. I'll even give you a tourniquet with it too, Just in case.
Rick:But no, I did see this video and I showed my wife just to have her go through the procedure. Make sure to do this or roll down the window, or do this and that A car with automatic locks?
Lano:it could happen too.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:So it's not just Like Tesla.
Rick:Cause it looks like she just walked out and then it locked, but like the car like A dumbass.
Lano:The AC doesn't get.
Rick:Doesn't cool down that fast Like the AC.
Lano:Like she gets To get out and close the door and then the lock's automatically locked. I mean, it could happen To a regular car too.
Rick:And then if she left the phone on in the car, then, like the trunk, the front opens the point is, we should all have batons strapped underneath the car for emergencies, right?
Lano:hey? Hey, I was. I was telling you guys that I've been into like two reviews and all that stuff and then I started yeah For tools. I started coming across. I should probably do like some tool reviews. Man, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, we could do it. I should bring my. You know, I just bought a rigid box for my tools. Oh man, I love this thing.
Rick:The hardest stuff.
Lano:Everyone's doing their toolbox setups. You know how Milwaukee has that pack out stuff and all that I bought the rigid one.
Lano:I love that thing, man, the way I have it set up and everything is so nice. But just going through all this stuff and then I came across this guy that does these little portable solar generators, storage, battery storage banks where they use a car battery and an inverter and a solar panel. Yeah, the first one he did was out of an ammo box, just a power bank, and he used one of those small batteries just to connect. He did an inverter to do the switches and all that stuff Okay. And then he did another one, a bigger, with one of those tool storage boxes where he put a big 2,000-watt watt inverter in that, the car battery connection. He did connections like on the outside usb connections, uh 110 connections and then like connections where so you can connect solar panels to it so you can like if you're out camping put it there, it'll recharge it charge the battery it has like, like little switches there that'll let you know what the storage, what the volts are on the battery what.
Lano:I just left on the battery. And then he did another one that's a little bit smaller, where the first one was this little ammo box, the second one was this big tool storage thing, yeah. And then he did like a mid-sized one that combined the two, where he did a little bit bigger battery and then also like a solar hookup and everything is like cool little damn things. And then he did another one where he's powering his shed. He bought these solar panels from um, I think it was Amazon, put them on the roof and he showed the whole setup on how he wires it down, you know, brings it into the solar charging little module or whatever, and then that goes connected to the inverter.
Lano:No, no, it goes to the battery, and then the battery goes to the inverter. No yeah, yeah, and I just started in a mean rabbit hole of all that stuff I was like dude. I need to make me a little damn power storage box. I go forget running electrical to the damn tool sheds in the back. I'm just gonna buy some solar panels, put them up on the roof well, you should, that should be your.
Rick:You should experiment with that.
Lano:Oh, this is this is one he had right here. So he said if you don't want to do all that setup and everything, this one right here. What is it? Ecoflow?
Rick:Yeah.
Lano:So if you put that in, it has a connection that you can just run your solar panels to it to charge it back up. Yeah, but I mean, they're pricey and this thing lasts.
Rick:A thing lasts a long time too like I'll tell you, like how many days or hours you got when you got something plugged in there but uh, but I mean ricky who camps a lot.
Rick:This would be kind of cool instead of them, uh, running power back there well, I sent you that video where that guy, um, he built like a little, um like well, he sets up like a tough shed for his kid and then he puts an ac in there but then he connects, like solar and one of these to it, so the ac runs off of the sun yeah, so it'll charge up, like during the day or not, run the ac and then, um, they have the ac plugged into this yeah and it keeps up with it.
Lano:You know, the sun, this thing has all these 649 off. What's the full price of that?
Rick:799. Oh no, uh like, so look at 1400 then you got 600 700 bucks and some with the solar without the yeah oh, how much is it with the solar. Well, this one comes with it. Yeah, I mean, they're all like they're solar. Oh, how much is it with the solar? Well, this one comes with the. Yeah, I mean they're all like they're expensive, but how much is it with the solar? Well, this is with the solar.
Lano:Yeah, 700, 799 that's not bad if it comes with the solar 800 yeah that's not bad, that midsize one he did that midsize little storage thing that he did. He had bought these two little small solar panels. Oh, he bought one solar panel.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:You could probably fit two. The way he did the box, the whole design of his box was cool because everything was there. The whole design of his box was cool because everything was there and he even put a port so you can either charge this by solar or you can plug it into an outlet and charge it to charge the battery back up. And these little solar panels that he bought fit perfect in that box that he got. He was like you could probably fit two solar panels in there and bring it up to like 100 watt. I think they're like 50 watt each little panel.
Lano:I was like man. The wheels in my head started spinning.
Rick:That's crazy, I mean, since you're building that little back garage or tough shit. I would experiment with this.
Lano:I think we gotta like, I want to go to like two conventions. I want to go to like two conventions. I want to see, like, like the new future stuff, all the new tools that are coming out. Like, there's the National Hardware Convention, that's a big one, I don't know. Cima, the CIMA, that's more all the mechanic, just mechanic stuff. Huh. Must be cars, cars show, but I think a that Cars Cars show. But I think a lot of vendors go there too, like tool vendors. I would. Where are you going to go?
Rick:I would check it's in March, this one's in Vegas.
Lano:Is that where you're going? I think that's the big one. I don't know, is it for everybody, or you have to be like that's that SEMA, right?
Rick:No, that's the, that's the hardware.
Lano:So that's like a big Convention for like DIYers, diyers.
Mig:DIYers DIY.
Lano:DIYers.
Mig:DIYers.
Lano:DIYers, diyers, do it yourself.
Mig:DIYers, it'll be for your birthday weekend.
Rick:Yeah, it's not private for industry people. It's in the middle of the week.
Lano:Get it off, it's one day.
Rick:it's pretty cool because you know when I was making t-shirts I'm giving you like, damn six months, heads up when I was making t-shirts I went to a t-shirt convention and just to see all the new technology and all that stuff. It's pretty cool, yeah.
Lano:I don't know, like I was talking to Marcos and we were like back in the day, we would always be going, yeah, to the plumbing trade shows. It's like we everyone just stopped going.
Rick:You should be going, as, because now that you're like we gotta see what the hell's the new stuff that's coming, like the heat pumps and all that stuff like all that stuff.
Lano:It's like, yeah, we gotta start enlisting again and going to these things, because I don't know man, I got into it, I got stuck on damn watching these tour reviews talking talking about, uh, heat pumps and all that shit right now.
Mig:Um, water heaters, is it normal for them just to shut off? For like no reason?
Rick:why shut off mine, all yours, yeah well when the they don't shut off when the water gets the right temperature in the heater, that one there was always an issue with that one shutting off just like that.
Mig:I mean the pilot stays lit right. No, that was a new one, remember, I got it on Lowe's.
Lano:That one just changed. Yeah, oh, unless there's a drift going in there and shutting off the pilot.
Mig:It's the first time.
Rick:Like you had to relight the pilot.
Mig:I've had it for, like I think, already three years back there, and it's the first time that it just shut off just for no reason.
Lano:Sometimes Sometimes, jermaine, it's just the drift that gets in there and turns off the pilot, so it could be a gas supply or damaged thermocouple clock pilot tube.
Mig:No like. Are they sensitive to like shaking, like earthquakes or anything? Do they have any kind of like valving or anything?
Lano:If Laura was back there opening the door, slamming the door, maybe a drift or something went in.
Rick:It's inside If it turned right back on it's probably what happened.
Lano:I gotta go pump that damn water heater up.
Mig:I'm just saying because the other day I was it was Monday, I think when I jumped in the shower waiting for it to get warm. It's already the heat wave already passed here. It's already the heat wave already passed here. It's already kind of cold in the morning and everything.
Rick:Yeah, it was like 56 this morning.
Mig:Yeah, dude, I had no freaking hot water. So I was like I was like, alright, suck it up, dude, just jump in, just jump in. And I just jumped in, dude.
Lano:They didn't need the heater hotter in the front. No, I don't know they haven't said anything.
Rick:Now, since we're talking about the, you said did anybody feel the earthquakes last week or the weeks before? Well that's right. I could have sworn. That's what I was asking. I could have sworn.
Lano:I was feeling the earthquakes but I don't know if they really were, Because sometimes I thought I would feel the ground shake.
Mig:I didn't feel it but I was watching the news in the morning and I see the fucking, I see the newscasters all freak out. They're all like, oh, what's that? It's like they don't know if they should like duck under the desk or that shit was funny.
Rick:Well, the recent one.
Mig:I haven't felt anything in a long time.
Rick:I felt the ones like two weeks ago. I guess it was the South Pasadena one.
Lano:Or Alhambra, or else Cal State. No.
Rick:Cal State, la. Yeah, that one, I was at work. I'm on the 15th floor so the building should but the one last week.
Mig:Like a lot of those that I should have felt I've been in my truck. I've been in my truck, I've been driving.
Rick:The one last week. I got the alert on my phone.
Mig:Yeah.
Rick:Like earthquake. I got the alert, so then I grabbed the kids and I texted my wife, but we never felt it. But she says she felt it at work, but it was before I texted her.
Mig:Yeah, but I've been getting those alerts and I see the alert, I look at it and I'm like, okay, so then I sit around and I'm waiting. Is it going to start shaking?
Rick:Because, I think a year ago, two years ago, I got the alert and then like 10 seconds later it happened, so like it worked. But I was wondering if you guys felt it, because I didn't feel it.
Lano:I didn't feel it. The talking about the, the batteries. One of the guys was talking about Connecting batteries in a In series. Yeah, I guess when you're connecting them and he says connect them, you go.
Rick:Like daisy chain, positive.
Lano:Positive right, connect your positive to one battery and then you go negative to positive, then positive to negative I don't know how that works oh, you don't know. No, because I guess that's how you do it in series instead of doing it yeah, because, uh, you do that. I was gonna say like how does, how does that work?
Mig:you do that when you want to increase your, like the cranking amps or something, and I know in the rigs they used to do that to to convert it from like 12 volt to like 24 volt or something like that and you have to the reason.
Lano:I asked somehow like that, I don't know, the guy did his solar panels like that because they were a positive and a negative and he goes I want the panels to run in series. So he goes. I'm going to go from the positive, I'm going to take the negative to the next positive of the solar panel. And then the negative from the solar panel to the other panel. So it's just like the negative from one battery to a positive.
Mig:I know what you're talking about. I've never understood it. I've never understood how to do it.
Lano:I was like damn I don't know how that. I guess it's like, like you said, to crank up the yeah, the amps the amps or the voltage or something.
Mig:Something gets cranked up maybe the amps yeah yeah, so I seen them.
Rick:They do it like it's like. I mean I was looking at the Tesla batteries. Some guy was building a what's it called A Humvee electric and he had to like Switch the batteries, like that.
