Welcome back to the Drifting on Arroyo Podcast. This is Mig, this is Lano.
Lano:RK67.
Mig:What's up people? How are we doing?
Rick:Que pasa calabaza. Hey, took me two freaking, two and a half freaking hours to get home today from beverly hills I thought you said um, I thought you were. I was gonna be in victorville, but I ended up staying on the west side because just the day got fucked.
Rick:Oh shit, I would have rather gone to victorville yep, oh yeah, I would have made it longer, I probably would have made it back in an hour, a little bit over an hour. It's just like I was coming down Jefferson, trying to stay away from the 10th freeway, and, what do you know, the stupid movie assholes are fucking filming at a building. And they had the whole lane one of the lanes blocked off, just so they can have space to.
Mig:Should have gone down to Expo Blvd. Those movie assholes I hate it, I dude. I hate going to the west side man. It's like whenever I'm on instagram and I see some place, like some food place or something, as soon as they tell me it's like santa monica or you know, you know Melrose or North Hollywood or whatever I'm like I ain't never going there.
Lano:Kind of like a food spot. Like I never go to that side of town, North Hollywood.
Mig:Anywhere man, Anywhere west of the 110.
Rick:Well, North Hollywood's more like the valley. But North Hollywood has a lot of good spots like little cool spots.
Mig:I know they do.
Rick:To like bars, bar and grills, sports bars Just parking's a nightmare, oh yeah.
Mig:Parking forget it. Yeah, I don't know how people live out there too. Yeah, exactly, that's why I wouldn't go up there, it's congested there. Yeah, yeah. That alone would just piss me off and ruin my experience.
Lano:Having to drive around, look for parking or having to bark bark park blocks away get that family member, save me spots, and then call them I'm here, and then they move the car and then we're alternating. Yeah, can only park on one side of the street or something. Yeah, it's crazy, crazy. But um, let's talk about the showdown.
Rick:The showdown of chili cheese fries Chili cheese fries.
Mig:I threw down the gauntlet.
Rick:So, he was talking about the Petra's chili cheese fries.
Mig:My compatriots here finally tried them.
Rick:Up Cypress Park just before you get into E-Rock. Yeah, funny enough, both establishments on Cypress Boulevard Park just before you get into E-Rock.
Mig:Yeah, funny enough, both establishments on Cypress Boulevard.
Rick:Yeah, cypress Avenue. Yeah, on each end. Yeah, they're at each end.
Lano:Yeah, they're both.
Mig:So Cypress. Best is If you want to call it the beginning you can call it the beginning, and then Patras is at the end, right before it turns into E-Rock Boulevard.
Rick:then Patras is at the end, right before it turns out to, it turns into To the Iraq Boulevard.
Lano:Patras is kind of hard to get to Because, like you have to go through Some little street Like a little service road and stuff.
Rick:I was on the other side and I had to make a U-turn and all that stuff, yeah.
Lano:But yeah, end to end the big show done.
Rick:So so Chili fries. Meg brought some chili cheese fries, lano bought some Patras chili cheese fries.
Lano:Yeah, when Mickey said he was ordering it, I was like, oh, it'll be a good time to see if they deliver.
Rick:And they did so.
Lano:I ordered a-.
Rick:Well, what do we think about those cheese sticks?
Mig:They weren't bad. Cheese sticks were pretty good yeah.
Rick:I need a sauce.
Mig:I could have gone for a nice marinara to go dude.
Rick:Yeah, I didn't check it.
Lano:You don't want to pay extra for it or what I didn't check. Maybe I have to click a box or something, or maybe a tasty ranch. I don't know dude.
Rick:Would, have been good with the marinara sauce, nah, but sometimes it's like a good ranch. No, it's got to be marinara.
Lano:I know it's got to be marinara, but if Nah. So this is a pathos. Cheese sticks Dino's, does Dino yeah.
Rick:I don't know. I would like they look too light to me.
Mig:They could have been a little crispier.
Rick:Yeah, I need them a little bit darker, they could have been a little bit more. A little bit more darker in tone. Yeah, those are a little too light for me, but they're like whatever. They were tasty. That's like I don't know bar food, a bar.
Lano:So back to the showdown.
Rick:Okay, lano-san. So chili cheese fries what do you guys think? Chili cheese fries? What do you guys think Miggy? Okay, well, miggy was saying that he might have Found a better chili cheese fries, so you're gonna Tell your side.
Mig:I don't think I said better. I think I said I found a challenger. Yeah, you did Challenger.
Rick:I found a challenger for.
Mig:Someone that can actually go up against Cypress Best Chili Cheese Fries, you know, and when I was eating them I kind of thought they tasted better, but I didn't taste them side by side.
Lano:Right, and when I went to get them, I had them by himself.
Mig:Yeah, but from what I remember always eating the Cypress Best Chili Fries, I always had like this little like touch of cinnamon. That kind of didn't bother me, but just you know it was kind of like. Is chili made with cinnamon yeah, very little, very little, very little. I know my recipe. When I would make it it had a little Little chili. Okay, yeah, okay, a little bit of cinnamon.
Rick:All right, okay.
Mig:Yeah, okay, a little bit of cinnamon, all right, but you know, and the consistency also, I thought they were different, but they were a lot similar than what I thought, you know, and for me it just seems like the Patras one was a lot more savory, a lot more depth of flavor in it, but your initial reaction yeah, okay.
Mig:My initial reaction and it's just I thought they had just slight edge on flavor over Cypress Best. You know, not saying that Cypress Best is not good or anything, it's just I thought they had like a slight edge on it. You know, not saying that Cypress Best is not good or anything, just I thought it had like a slight edge on it. You know, because I just I ate them and I finished them and I was still craving more.
Rick:Yeah, yeah.
Mig:And you know, I thought about it like a couple days afterwards and I was like dude, those were good freaking chili fries. That's a good impression on you yeah. So that's yeah, that was good, you know. So that's why I thought I'd present it to you guys and see what your guys' thoughts were Okay for me tasting it.
Rick:it's a solid chili cheese fries, solid, solid, solid. Mingy wasn't jiving that Petra's had like of a of a meaty flavor. Um, not as much cheese as the cypress.
Mig:cypress puts more that's what I like about cypress. Yeah, they put a ton of cheese a lot of cheese on side.
Rick:The cheese makes a difference the different it looks like they use this kind of same cheese, Probably the same blend, but Cypress they have. They use the white and yellow cheese.
Mig:It's probably a blend of like cheddar and Monterey Jack.
Rick:I never noticed the blend. It looks like Patras does it a little bit less than the Monterey, yeah, but Cypress puts a lot of cheese on it. I mean it's just every fork full of chili cheese fries. It's full of cheese. So for me it was a solid, solid taste. It was really good. Because when you first told us I was just like nah, I was already set in my bias Like Cypress Best is going to be the top. It's just all talk. But once I had it, like oh yeah, it was like I said, it comes down to your what flavor you prefer, the preference of the flavor of the meat. They're both delicious. They're both delicious but depends on, kind of like, the flavor of what you're looking for. And for me I I still prefer the flavor of cypress best. But like you said, ming I, I give you, like you said it was a 1a, 1b I would I would.
Mig:I would say that 1A, 1B, you know the one other thing I found about cypress. I found them maybe just a touch more spicy and a little more acidic. There's a difference.
Rick:You can tell the difference in the chili, yeah, when you eat them side by side.
Mig:You taste the difference. Yeah, you can taste the difference. You know not that it's bad. You know not that it's bad. You know not that it makes one taste worse than the other. It's just there's, like you can tell they're different.
Rick:I want to feel like Petras you can eat it. You know you can eat it. Finish it and then you go think about it, like, yeah, you know it's a good chili cheese fries, but like Cypress, you'll eat it. And then, once you're done eating it, you want more.
Mig:Yeah.
Rick:You want more of that flavor, Like you're like fuck, it's already, that's it, there's no more. It's like I want it more. I should have got the extra large order. Yeah so, but I like Cypress Best Chili Cheese Fries stays memorable in my mind.
Mig:It's because I mean because even with Gino, you know I was talking about it with Gino, and a lot of people accuse us of being homers when it comes to the Chili Cheese Fries. And they're like ah, it's just because you guys grew up with their no man. No, it's like it's because we try them everywhere.
Lano:And there used to be an LA Times article up on the wall saying that these were the best.
Mig:You know and it's just you know. To me, it's just.
Rick:Really, really. I mean, the Petras is really good, yeah, they're really good, but I see that kind of style chili cheese fries similar to every other chili cheese fries, where Cypress not as good, not as tasty as that, but kind of like along the same kind of like meaty flavor.
Mig:Right.
Rick:Where Cypress, I feel it's just, it has that distinct flavor Standalone.
Rick:Yeah, standalone flavor, like you won't find it anywhere else no not in another chili, no, I have not, and I've actually this past. On Sunday, saturday, saturday Sundayay, I had, I was. So I was telling, I was telling vanessa, I need to find a damn good chili cheese fries by my house. So I tried um, p and j, this burger spot p, p and j's super burger, and I had those chili cheese fries and it was like whatever, whatever, no, you know. And then I had chili cheese fries when I went to Paris to go pick up some stuff.
Lano:Late, late Thursday.
Rick:At this. What was it called? It was a burger spot over there in Paris. Good chili cheese fries, Good tasting chili cheese fries Way better than the ones that I had at. Bj's, but it was still. It's nothing like that flavor that I get from Cypress Best, but that Patras chili cheese fries, solid chili cheese fries, I would definitely want to go back and get it.
Lano:Those type of restaurants they're not diners, what are they called, are they? Greasy spoons, they're burger joints, Burger joints, Burger joints. So I feel like those burger joints everybody uses like a chili brick. But Cypress Best didn't, and then at Patra's they didn't use a chili brick Because I feel like everybody tastes like that Dolores chili, Like you know that brick you buy at the market. It all tastes like that same Paste or that same Like.
Rick:That's what it seems like, like everyone else gets, but it seems like Like everybody manipulates it though.
Mig:Yeah, maybe they add stuff to it, but I feel like Patras and Cypress.
Lano:It's like their own recipe, because it didn't taste like that.
Mig:Well, I mean, I don't know, but I think a lot of the places and I wouldn't be surprised If we find out that Cypress Best and Patras Starts off with that chili base.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:But just Plays around with it and makes it their own.
Lano:Or if they Start from scratch, then Even better for them.
Mig:So.
Lano:Patras. I thought Patras was a little bit on the salty side for me, I mean those are like historical spots, yeah. And I gave them.
Rick:To me, the king is still.
Lano:Cyprus. But, like you said, we grew up tasting that. I mean, I don't know if that's like our palate now.
Rick:It was Frank's turned into Cyprus Cyprus best, but then Patras. I think Patras has always been Patras, yeah Right, it was. It was Frank's turned into Cypress, cypress Best, but then Patra's. I think Patra's has always been Patra's, yeah Right. So who knows? I mean, I wish we would have been trying those chili cheese fries a long time ago at Patra's.
Mig:So we could see how long that has been. That's what I'm saying, because who's to say?
Lano:that they might have improved their chili cheese fries, or somebody that grew up on that side of town Eating the chili cheese fries, having them taste.
Rick:Cypress and then it took them. I mean hours, if someone.
Lano:I don't know anybody on that side. You guys, I don't.
Mig:Well, we had a cousin and he would go there all the time, but we lost him a while back. Yeah, I don't know.
Lano:Well, so in this room there's three of us and two out of the three we gave it to. Cypress right.
Rick:I said Cypress Miggy's on the fence.
Mig:I'm on the fence man. I'm on the fence, I really am.
Rick:Miggy's on the fence.
Mig:Yeah, it's like I don't want to put either one down, but it's like you said, when anyone they're both good.
Lano:They're both good. I mean, I mean not putting them down. It's just like who has the edge.
Rick:We should um you know, we should um, we should get the two chili cheese fries and see what javi thinks ah, I mean they're both in your top two, javi loves chilean he'd be he unbiased opinion. He was stuck on the, and he knows how delicate his taste buds are.
Lano:He would say that's on Chrissy's husband. Yeah, but then like oh yeah, he was always on that Tommy's chili.
Rick:He loves his Tommy's, but then once he had these chili cheese fries at Cyber's Best, he was all about it Now.
Lano:Tommy's. I like it in the burger, but the chili cheese fries is too much for me. I just like it in the burger, not by itself. Yeah, no.
Mig:What I like doing is I like ordering a hot dog or a chili cheese dog at Tommy's and I just scrape everything off the hot dog.
Lano:Well, I haven't had a hot dog.
Rick:Put it on the fries and then just eat the hot dog like that after. You save on that?
Lano:huh Dude. I still think Tommy's best items are their breakfast items. Now, since we've been getting it.
Rick:That breakfast burrito, dude, I still haven't had it, man, I haven't tried it yet.
Lano:Even the breakfast sandwich, I think, is good too.
Rick:I haven't tried it.
Lano:I haven't tried the breakfast, it's like a big sloppy.
Mig:Actually, it's just like a damn chili.

Mig:Back in the day, no you surprised me when you told me that they had a breakfast burrito. I was like what. Yeah, no way.
Rick:All right, leave it in the car for at least eight hours and then eat it after.
Lano:Should I finish up the review of Tacos Frontera.
Mig:Go for it.
Lano:You needed to give your review.
Rick:Well, I wanted to take the wife, and then I needed to try more stuff, because sometimes—, wait, wait, wait, because me and Mick gave it a what?
Lano:a six, a six, a six. Okay. So because Dolores had told us that she liked the torta, or her dad liked the torta, so I wanted to try the torta. I was like maybe it's the torta, or her dad liked the torta, so I wanted to try the torta. I was like maybe it's a torta place. And then I wanted to try the chorizo taco.
Rick:Now did they make it like Mickey saw it with the brushing?
Mig:They put some kind of juice or something on it, right? I?
Lano:wasn't paying attention. How did the bread look? I mean, the bread was like okay, so the bread was like soft, super soft.
Rick:It was really like really good bread look white or kind of like like it had like a different color, like no, I want to say it looked white because you kind of like a like, a, like you can see, yeah, yeah, you know they, they dip the bread and it wasn't like that.
Lano:I mean it looked a little bit, just because I mean like the. It didn't look like they dipped it or poured, just looked like like the residue of the meat, like it wasn't like it didn't look like they dipped it or poured it, it just looked like the residue of the meat. It wasn't like it didn't look dipped. But I ordered two tacos asada, two of the pastor, two of the birria and two of the chorizo and then an asada torta. So me and my wife had each taco of all the flavors. So the asada, my wife liked the asada and, ricky, they put everything on it, the guacamole and everything on it, and you didn't. You didn't tell them, I didn't tell them nothing, I just said give me the tacos so that.
Lano:So that's like, like you know, that's inconsistent.
Mig:Yeah, that's different inconsistency, so like like you said, I told them there's no consistency, like it was, they ran out or it was not good but they didn't even tell us that they ran out.
Rick:They didn't say like you're out of guacamole or anything, I'm giving them a five now.
Lano:The birria. I asked them. They said it's beef. I said it's a beef. My wife didn't like the birria too much. It was a little like on the greasy side. It was more like a toasted taco. The pastor was the same. And then the chorizo. I thought the chorizo was good, but our favorite was the torta.
Rick:So me and my wife were like Torta or what.
Lano:Asada.
Rick:Asada.
Lano:So me and my wife were like oh man, we really like, like this torta Like.
Rick:Like we love, like King torta.
Lano:So the asada is good when the torta or burrito yeah, oh, and then we had the burrito too, and the burrito's different Because it has cheese, like you know it makes a little Different flavor the hell dude. But I'm splitting it. I'm a family of four. We're all splitting it, right? Yeah, right, I think you yourself Is a family of four. Dude, it's me, my wife and my two daughters.
Mig:And you're saying You're splitting it Between the four of you. I think you're talking About your four stomachs. So then like we're big.
Lano:King Torta fans. You guys all had King Torta right.
Rick:No, oh yeah, yeah, okay yeah, they had good tortas.
Lano:So we're good.
Mig:So then we're like Hold on Little side thing, the thing I have with King Torta when I was going to Cal State LA.
Lano:Oh right.
Mig:I tried it once. It didn't like it.
Rick:I thought, their bread.
Mig:No, it all came down to the bread. I thought the bread was way too dense and it just wasn't a good bread.
Lano:So that's why I never went back. Like tortas. Everybody has different bread for their tortas.
Mig:And they're never like the same bread. From that point on, anybody that has ever recommended me King Torta to go there that it's good, I always ask them what'd you have or what do you get when you go there? Not one person to this day has told me that they go there to get tortas.
Lano:Oh, really yeah, Because I always get a torta and then, like a hard shell, taco.
Mig:Everybody always tells me they get the hard shell tacos, they get nachos. Oh, yeah, yeah, because I always get a torta and then, like a hard shell taco, everybody always tells me they get the hard shell tacos, they get nachos, they get.
Rick:Oh yeah, nachos are good too.
Mig:They get everything but tortas. Oh really, wow, I'm like, so you're telling me to? Go to a torta place and not have tortas. That shit don't make sense.
Lano:I like the. That's why I haven't gone. Maybe I'll have to bring it over. Do you like Tortas Sinaloa? Yeah, it was good, that one by your house, right?
Rick:I only been there one time.
Lano:I got to go back to that spot. You still go there a lot, rick.
Mig:No, I haven't been there in a while, but their tortas are good. You see, because for me, when it comes to a torta, the the most important thing is the bread. Yeah, the bread has to be right.
Lano:I gotta take my wife to that spot.
Mig:Did you ever like the?
Lano:semitas.
Rick:Yeah.
Lano:I do my wife.
Rick:I gotta take her to this spot. You've taken Laura already, no.
Lano:Mom. She didn't like it, so I gotta take her again. I went back. I went back again.
Rick:Oh, you took her to the truck. Yeah, no, you messed up.
Mig:No, last year I went to the.
Rick:You got to go to the restaurant.
Mig:I went to the restaurant and it just didn't taste the same.
Lano:No, I haven't been there in a while. So you haven't been there in a long time. No, it's been maybe three years for me.
Mig:It wasn't the same as when I went with you guys, with you and. Barney.
Lano:That sucks.
Rick:That flavor that I was looking for, that taste yeah, didn't get it, oh See, there I get a torta de milanesa with the chipotle chili on it. Yeah.
Mig:Yeah, Like they put a few, so I was disappointed.
Lano:Tacos from the torta was like the bread was soft. You probably gotta go try again. It was good. So we're like, oh, you know what, like this is closer than king torta. You know, it's like you know 10 minute drive. Like this is gonna be our torta spot. Like we're gonna go here for tortas. And I talk because the tortas are like 10 bucks so we can each order a torta is like 20 bucks.
Lano:So then, um, on sunday, um, we had, um, my, my brother and sister-in-law were over we're hanging out, and then they had a goal. So then, like we're like what do we do for dinner? And then laura's like hey, let's go get some. Can you go pick up some tortas? So I went to get the tortas. I ordered two tortas and a quesadilla. First of all the quesadilla um, they messed up my order. They gave me a queso taco. So first I was like what? So then, um, and I had like chili in it. So like my baby didn't eat it. And then so I'm eating the torta and like it's bland, the meat has like no flavor, and I'm eating it and then like I'm spitting out a lot of meat, like I'm getting like a lot of ligaments, like you know, just chewing, chewing, chewing, it won't break. So I'm like spitting it out, not good. Wait, you went twice, yeah. So I went on Thursday the first time and I'm like oh, tortas are good sunday, oh, okay and then.
Lano:So I'm eating it and then my wife's like looking at me, she's like how's your taste? And I was like it's tasting kind of kind of plain. And she's like mine too and she's like like it's not good. And I was like you know what? And my meat's like like not good meat's all ligament. She's like me too. So we just ate half and finished it and then like, like, like she asked me, or I asked her. I was like like so what? What do you think? You think we'll go back? And she's like nah, probably not. So my review went up to an eight and now it dropped back down to a six, maybe a five and a half.
Lano:And I had texted Miki, or you too. I texted like, oh, it's a torta place. From when we had it on last week Tuesday we had it Tuesday, and then you had it again on Thursday, thursday and then on Sunday.
Rick:So did you give it a grade on Tuesday or not yet?
Lano:Well, we had set a six. We had set a six, but I wanted to leave it open because I wanted to try the torta.
Rick:So where were you at after the first time?
Lano:Where were you at? I was at a six and then I went up to an eight saying it's a torta place, and then I a five and a half. I mean I went back five hours.
Rick:My wife's my wife doesn't want to go back, she's like no I should give it a four for that damn sauce, giving me an allergic reaction, man, and then, so then like cleaning up my damn gums.
Lano:Our tacos were different from your tacos, so that's a consistency. Our torta was different from the second time we had the torta, so it's different. And then I was telling miggy that they didn't even have the agua fresas, like they didn't even have them out front. They didn't. They didn't even have the agua fresas, they didn't even have them out front. They didn't have any made, uh-uh, they had nothing on, they just had menus on the counter.
Mig:So I'm like you see, well, either they're struggling.
Lano:Or changing things up or something.
Mig:What I'm tripping out on is you say you went back Thursday.
Lano:After work 4.30.
Mig:Yeah, and you had the asada tacos and you said they were good.
Lano:Yeah, and they had the guacamole. It had everything on it that like, well, that added the flavor, all that other stuff.
Mig:Okay, but not the meat itself, didn't really?
Lano:But I mean, it was all buried. I couldn't taste it. It was all buried. That's what.
Mig:I'm saying, that's my point exactly. It was buried. But then when I had it In the it's so difficult To find a place that's going to have tacos, like when we were kids, dude, yeah, when we would go to Rambo's or we'd go to Danny's or we'd go to even a taco.
Rick:But I wonder, even back then, like you, had your few taco trucks.
Mig:Yeah.
Rick:But now there's like taqueros everywhere.
Mig:Yeah, and everywhere it sucks.
Lano:Yeah, and then there are big lines. It's like they're out there. I got to know it's good.
Mig:There's so many people that are buying them and I don't know why, because they're not good yeah.
Rick:That's my whole point. That's why. But then who knows?
Mig:You know, it's like, yeah, they're out there. It's like everybody and their mother is setting up a stand trying to sell tacos.
Rick:Okay, so like Rambo'sbo, the original Rambos, isn't it?
Mig:Well, I think that was sold to like a brother or something, so it's not OG Rambo anymore. I think Menyo has said that he's out there San Bernardino somewhere.
Lano:The Rambos you guys talking about. Where was it at Like?
Rick:in.
Lano:Europe.
Mig:Back in the day. Originally he was right here, right in front of the Liquor Store.
Rick:Yeah, no, he was on the side street.
Lano:Where, where, where On the liquor store.
Rick:Where's that avenue, Tony's? Oh, oh right here.
Mig:Yeah, yeah, tony's Market, yeah, tony's Market.
Rick:So he wasn't on Fig. He was on the side street right there with Tony's oh the little turn.
Lano:No, that was fig. What's figuring his?
Rick:truck was always on the little side street. He wasn't on fig.
Mig:Well, that that's where. That's where they started, and then they moved to yurok so no, so he was there, right.
Rick:Yeah, he was there. And then, uh, I guess the guy that worked with them danny's- yeah danny's tacos. Then he put his truck on fig so you had them both like right there, but then danny's end up getting that little spot. To have his restaurant.
Mig:But that's what I'm saying. You know, it's like with them you can just go get your asada taco, you didn't have to put chili on there or nothing, and it was just. It was so good, dude, I don't know what they did to the meat, it was epic, because and it was just so good.
Rick:My cousin Felipe. Every time he would come visit. That's where he wanted and needed to get his Rambo's tacos. Yeah, and Rambo's still in Eagle Rock.
Lano:No.
Mig:No, I don't think so.
Lano:Because Laura's cousins used to talk about a Rambo's in Eagle Rock like a truck.
Mig:Well, yeah, that was it. I mean he moved there. They would talk about it and they're from Sundance they. He left a truck to the brothers when he opened up his brick and mortar off of Francis Kittle. Yeah, he ran that one for a while, for like a long time, and then I think he moved out further east and he left that one to someone else I don't know how they don't keep the same damn recipe.
Lano:People try to cut corners or make more money, or they try to make it their own.
Mig:It's like who knows, I don't know. But yeah, dude, I mean those days, man, it's like where the tacos were just so good.
Rick:But remember, like Danny's Tacos, like because Rambles would get full yeah. And we'd just get that and Danny's, because it was the same.
Mig:Well, danny's was really good. Danny's was really good too, yeah, you know. And then their. So his green chili man.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:And I remember he used to give me so much shit because I wanted to get the red. Yeah, Because the green was so flavorful man.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:And like it wasn't that spicy and Rambo would always give me shit, he was like ah, ese verde es pa' las viejas y pa' los babies.
Rick:He's like a la rojo. That was always it. Hey, I haven't checked that truck. That Marisco's truck hasn't posted up in how many years, or is it still there?
Mig:The one at Cypress.
Rick:I mean by Sycamore, by Sycamore yeah.
Mig:I see that there the other day.
Rick:The same one.
Mig:Yeah.

Rick:Yeah, I haven't gone and tried it, but we gotta try it. Yeah, you still see a lot of people.
Mig:Not when I drive by, but then I don't really know if he's there or not.
Lano:Oh, I don't think I've been to that truck. There was a truck in front of the Highland Park pool, the campsite over there that people always recommend.
Mig:Oh yeah, they say that place is pretty good.
Lano:I think they make something, the tostada or something, I don't know what it is.
Mig:Yeah well, Campeón, remember when Quebradita was back here. By the Goodwill, I love going to that store man, San Fernando.

Rick:Yeah, you go downstairs and you see all the. The OG shit.
Mig:The Voltron. You see the real.
Lano:Voltron, down there, the GoBots.
Rick:Yeah, gobots, that's what we're called, but the stuff that was outside is like the Voltron, but in cars, the cheapy one.
Lano:That's the one my mom got me, oh, not the tigers and lions.
Mig:Nah, nah, that was that kind of like knockoff stuff. You know what I mean. Yeah, like imitation.
Lano:Yeah, yeah.
Mig:Yeah, but they just mix it up so they don't get in trouble.
Rick:Or something.
Lano:Yeah. I forgot about it Now everything is a knockoff. You guys still have have those stuff, cause I bet that's all Like high price now, like collector stuff Nah, latina Nah.
Mig:When we, when we bought toys, we paid with them. We did not leave them In the packages and just let them sit there and think they're going to be worth something later. I wish we would have.
Rick:Hey, that Pluto I made out of ceramic did that thing break when it was outside? What happened to it?
Mig:I have no idea.
Lano:What the planet? You mean the planet? No, it was the actual Pluto.
Rick:Oh the dust. That thing was on, point man.
Mig:Was that ceramic?
Rick:Yeah, I made it ceramic. Oh shit, Was it on point I?
Mig:remember, but I thought you bought that I didn't know, you made it.
Lano:No man, I made that shit, I didn't remember the fuck, I bet it was a point that you look at it now. It's all nose fucking pinocchio that thing looked.
Rick:Oh, it looked real it looked like well you make it thought you bought it. It looked like you bought it at damn walt disney at disneyland. That thing is perfect. I kept making them, you could have made a fortune selling them I mean, you know I looked into buying a kiln and you know, keep with my damn ceramic career, but so ceramic is like pottery, the same or no?
Lano:no, like, how'd you make that wheel? No, pottery is like. You like what kind of material it?
Rick:was like you formed it and stuff. I don't know what it is, but that pottery, I think, is like the, the wheel that spins and you can, you know shape the, but you still gotta fire it in the kiln though, yeah yeah, but ceramic is more Like sculpture. Yeah, but it's like a play-doh.
Lano:It's all soft like that.
Mig:Yeah, you get like a hunk of clay and you start molding it, shape it with your hands.
Lano:Yeah, so it's the same like clay, yeah, like your favorite movie, ghost. What else is going on? You guys watching anything new or any rants?
Rick:Have you guys seen Outer Range?
Lano:Oh no, I haven't seen that one yet. You guys got to jump on that Outer Range. He talked about it last episode or a few episodes ago. It's a good show on Prime.
Rick:You finished it the first season? Yeah, there's two seasons.

Lano:Oh, you know what we started? It was Tulsa King season two. It started last week. I need to start watching that one from the beginning.
Rick:No, yeah, well, so season two started, so it's not that many. I think the first episode was maybe eight episodes or ten. I was going to bring my toolbox so you could see my attachments, my toolbox review.
Lano:You got it, your chair came in.
Rick:You didn't talk about it. I love my rigid pro gear system 2.0, gen 2.0.
Lano:Boy I started watching your guys and then I started getting into um, because I hand washed the car right, uh-huh. So I started getting into um water. What is it um water pressure? What is it the?
Rick:pressure washer pressure washer you saw guys reviewing them, yeah, yeah so then um I always thought like you need the highest pressure man.
Lano:I always thought you need the highest pressure. But, like for pressure or for car washes, you want the more water, so you want the more gallons per minute. So like two gallons per minute is like a lot of water To get the dirt off.
Rick:You started finding guys that test them out and then like the price features and then like the upgrades they do.
Lano:They buy like a new handle or a new wand and then like the hose. This is the little stuff they recommend.
Mig:You know which one is a rabbit hole for me? And then like the hose, like this little stuff they recommend Like starter kits. You know which one's A rabbit hole for me? I'll just keep on Watching and watching and watching them. It's this channel when they have like Mechanics and they're reacting To like.
Lano:Customer complaints.
Mig:Or or They'll be seeing Video clips of like People from Other countries Working on their cars and how they do their backyard mechanics and stuff.
Lano:Is it like what they bring me today or something? Are they reacting to your videos? Is that what it's called, what they brought me, or what they bring me today, or something like that?
Mig:No, it's just like mechanics react to this or to that.
Rick:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Mig:You know, it's like the ones that are always like. You know what's coming, dude, when they're working on freaking struts man, they're trying to get that spring off. Oh my goodness, they're exposing their face. Trevor just showed me another one.
Rick:This dude was messing with what was it I think the front spring or something, I don't know and the clamp, like it, just snapped and just pinched the shit out of his fingers and he was just like trying to get it out. He couldn't get it out and he just was trying to like yeah, there's no way.
Mig:Dude.
Lano:So you have tools for that or you have stuff for that?
Mig:Yeah, there's tools.
Lano:I mean, they're kind of, you still get Even with the tools, man, you get scared.
Rick:Yeah, your butthole's puckered up the whole time. Dude, any close calls? It's like you're just no, hey the close call. I mean I probably shouldn't even be, here, man, when we were at the damn across the street, I mean across the bridge, at the old yard.
Mig:No, there was one time when Rick was working on his truck and our shop. It wasn't like really good shop, you know, like every shop that we've had yeah it was always like super full. So there he needed to do something. You were adjusting your brakes or you're doing no, it was in the front no, you were in the rear. I think you were doing something in the rear.
Rick:No, no I was in the front.
Mig:In the front, yeah, I was in the front I forgot what he was doing, but he was on the street and you know how most streets are like slanted yeah, so that the water runs off the street and runs to the sidewalk and down the channel or whatever.
Mig:Well, this dude, he was parked like right in front of us and like the angle of the street was kind of you know, it was more than usual, yeah. And so he went, went inside, got a floor jack and jacked up the truck. And we had told him, you know, if you're gonna go under there, put a jack stand, yeah he didn't do it and do it and the freaking jack slipped.
Rick:It slipped and the truck came down on the man and the truck came down on him, and it came down just enough where it pinned the wheels or you had the wheels removed one of them.
Lano:No, I think it's not the wheels on it.
Rick:You saw the right height. No, no, no, yeah, it was because my truck was low. Yeah, it was lowered.
Mig:So he was just trying to do something underneath, yeah, and he couldn't get underneath without jacking it up.
Rick:And somehow it slipped off the jack and it pinned me.
Rick:And it pinned me where it kind of put pressure on my chest, on your ribs, or like your waist On my chest, on my chest. So the truck had me pinned where. It wasn't just like that, but it put pressure on my chest and I was just like all panicked and I couldn't squeeze out of there. And then I don't know how I was able to yell for you guys, yeah, and Megan Manuel went out there to jack the truck back up so I can get the fuck out of there. Oh man, that thing was scary as shit, how old were you?
Mig:In my early 20s.
Lano:Was this at Alhambra or where? No right here.
Rick:Remember, across the railroad track, across the bridge.
Lano:Yeah, yeah, yeah, right across the bridge. I remember we were at the Alhambra double track. Across the bridge. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right across the bridge.
Rick:Yeah, I remember, uh, I think that thing had me.
Lano:We were at the alhambra shop and it's me and me and rick, I don't know you went out to or those are weekends, so you might have not been there who me um, no, miggy, oh, but you're working on your car.
Lano:I don't. I don't know if you're doing like fiberglass work or something, or you're doing something with the blue truck, but we had, we had our goggles on and, like you had like a hat, like a bandana, like we're all covered up, right, because you're like working with some fiberglass, so it's like spraying everywhere. Uh, so then we're like like we're all protected, I'll cover it up. And then, um, like you finish everything. And then we look down and and what's the dog's name? Harley? Harley was just laying there, all fucking buried in fiberglass. These are dicks.
Lano:Yeah, like fiberglass all in his eyelashes, eyebrows. We're like oh shit, you remember that, Rick?
Rick:Yeah, You're doing something right, sammy. We couldn't even we couldn't rinse it because he was an asshole, but we just left him the way he was.
Lano:We were like, oh shit, it was fiberglass. I don't know you're sanding something or working on something.
Rick:Yeah, it was. I forget what it was.
Lano:I remember I already beat him Like he changed, like he was a different color. Yeah, and we're like oh man, that's like I don't know what we're going to do with that Jerks. It was all buried.
Rick:That was funny, we were like oh shit, that was the mishaps man.
Lano:Yeah his eyelashes, eyebrows, and he's just like chilling looking at us and we're just like, oh crap.
Rick:I kind of miss that yard, I mean aside from having to put up with that dumbass wolf.
Mig:I love being there. Dude yeah, that's probably my favorite one, and the ghost.
Lano:Yeah, ghost stories there. Oh, it's almost Halloween time.
Mig:You would see the ghost there. What the I don't know. We can't bring back the same stories.
Lano:Jerry.
Rick:Jerry, jerry, jerry.
Mig:I wonder if he's still there or not.
Lano:I'm sure he is.
Rick:I mean, so what happens? They knock down everything there and they build new buildings. So I wonder how that works. Do they haunt the buildings?
Lano:Oh, maybe Maybe, how does that?
Rick:work.
Lano:What room he's at.
Mig:Well, if you look at it right now, it's just the parking lot.
Rick:Aren't there commercial buildings?
Mig:Well, yeah, but the spot where we were at.
Rick:Yeah, it's just a parking lot when they park. Yeah, so maybe at night, when the people are going home, they see some shit. Who knows?
Lano:Maybe it's crazy because the Tesla drives on its own it hasn't happened to us, but like it has like a computer screen and it's like on the screen you see what the car sees. So when there's people walking, you see people walking. There's a bicycle, you see bicycle or motorcycles or whatever. But there's been. People say that like when you drive through a cemetery, like the car will see the little stick figure dancing all crazy. Like the car will see people walking, but you look and there's nothing there.
Rick:It's all in for it, like oh my god, look what he's doing.
Lano:He's dancing.
Mig:When we got to the cemetery. He's on your head. He's on your head right now.
Lano:When we got to the cemetery I always look for it, but we haven't seen it. But people say that the camera picks up stuff.
Rick:I love that show.
Mig:That show was so good in the beginning, though, man oh, it was authentic Dude those first five seasons?
Rick:Yeah, because they were legit. Yeah, they were just so raw, the first, season, man, when those guys, the way they would do it yeah, it was just raw reactions Then they got just to Hollywood. Hey, how about P Diddy? Huh, P Diddy's done.

They said, I mean he was doing shit to Usher and damn Justin Bieber when they were like damn 16 years old. Justin Bieber is like really jacked up in the head right now. Have you ever seen any interviews of him?
Mig:He's like Nah, but I always thought something was off with that dude.
Rick:No, he looks so scarred, like when he's giving Like. There was a recent interview where he was just he couldn't look at the camera. He was like hugging himself, looking down, crying like, tearing up, like he looks someone that's been like abused for like crazy man, like about the case he was talking about, he would always say like they started saying like now. In every interview he's saying like Hollywood's evil and all that, and I think he was talking I don't know if he was talking about that Billie Eilish broad, the one from Highland Park.
Rick:Where he doesn't like he talks about kind of like protecting her, not to get involved so deep in the evil side of that stuff. I think that's what that interview was about. But yeah, deep in the evil side of that stuff, I think that's what that interview was about but yeah, man, they're that that poor dude's like he is onto something, dude because they are evil dude.
Rick:Yeah, they are. Yeah, there's so many, there's so many people that that come out saying that they do like a lot of satanic rituals there, and it's just more and more, it's more and more coming down how evil hollywood is and yeah, yeah so it's just like Like Cat Williams was right With all that stuff, oh yeah. It's like some people, they just they want that fame and whatever, so they'll sell their soul to that shit.
Mig:That's right. When that whole stupid movement, that whole Me Too movement, and everything that came out, when all these actresses Were all of a sudden coming out saying you know that, oh yeah, I'm a victim. I'm a victim. Harvey Weinstein, you're not a victim man, it's like you knew exactly what you were getting into.
Rick:You knew exactly what you had to give up to get to the point where you're at. What sucks is the damn, the parents, yeah.
Mig:But the thing is is like, what I'm saying is the ones that had already made it. They're the ones that pissed me off because they got all this money and they got, they're made, you know they're, they're, they got set for life and they're the ones coming out crying saying that they're little victims. It's like you know what screw you, you know. It's like you got everything you want right now. It's like the ones I feel bad are for the ones that are actually trying to get in, didn't get the part or didn't and the ones that nobody knows about.
Mig:It's like those are the ones that I feel bad for.
Rick:Who knows if they would have given it no chance. They would have taken the same road.
Mig:But I mean, there were so many stories back then of you know, especially women saying that they weren't going to do what they were asking them to do. Yeah, you know, they weren't. It's like, come on, dude, it's like you're Harvey Weinstein, you know, and you're a hot little chick, and you're like, oh, let's go have a meeting in my hotel room. Yeah, who the hell?

Rick:And they were building their case. So there's no way out. That dude is screwed.
Mig:I'm tired. They said they put him on suicide watch. Yeah, and they're like not that he shows any signs of suicide, they're like no. But he might get stabbed 57 times and hung and then hang himself. They call it suicide.
Rick:Yeah, the old Epstein treatment. Yeah, because there's like guys. I saw one video that reported that a lot of guys in the prison where he's at that they're salivating to get to him Because high profile the way he is like, just you know, they could be the ones that took out Diddy.
Mig:But believe me, dude, he's going to flip, and if the homies in jail don't get him, either Hillary or Obama is going to get him, because you know he's got dirt on both of them and he'll give up that dirt To me he just seems like a gigantic puss and he doesn't want to be there.
Rick:And he'll do whatever he has to do to avoid doing time. Yeah, they're already setting it up by saying he's on suicide watch.
Mig:Yeah, and then all the cameras in his cell are funny enough not going to work, yeah.
Lano:But he's in LA. When he kills himself. He's like LA Joe. Where did he get?

Um, I thought about Hip hop the other day. It like Hip hop is. I thought about hip-hop the other day. Hip-hop is we grew up listening to the stuff that we listen to and it hit me like damn, hip-hop was kind of like real liberal, because they're against police, they do all this crime, shit, and then they want to praise that life, I don't know.
Rick:And then I wouldn't say so much liberal dude, because? Because they're against police. But then they do these crimes and then they're like Well, think about it.
Mig:Back then there was a real problem with police brutality.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah and with us. So a lot of it was just anger out of yeah yeah against the police, but a lot of it a lot of.
Rick:It is like when they were talking about like the gangster rap when it came out. Yeah, you know, you're like you're saying fuck the police, but then you're like over here talking about selling dope and I mean you're kind of well, yeah, I mean being a hypocrite where the cops, the cops are on.
Mig:I mean, you're kind of Well yeah.
Rick:I mean Kind of being a hypocrite when the cops are on your ass because you're fucking selling dope and yeah. Fucking rolling around with an AK.
Mig:But I mean, that's why it's like, okay, perfect example, and these kids that I buy parts from At one of the parts stores, that's right, it's all kids at the counter now. They're all like In their 20s.
Rick:Uh huh.
Mig:So they're green dude. They're like green, green, green. They don't know shit about shit. One of them tells me Is like hey, he's like, did you see? Did you see that that video, the Tyree Kill video.

Lano:I thought, well, did you see everything? Because they have the floor. He has tinted windows.
Mig:Because I tell him. I tell him you got to watch everything, dude, to see exactly what happened. Yeah, I tell him because a lot of times what they show you is not everything what happened. And the kid was like no, I thought I saw your. Okay, I'll check it out, I'll try to dig up a video and I'll get back to you, did you? I'll try to dig up a video and I'll get back to you. Can you see it? I go on Brandon Tatum's feed. Watch the video from the body cam of the cops. There were motorcycle cops and they're sitting outside the stadium and you know traffic's coming and here comes stupid-ass Tyreek Hill and his what is it? Mclean or McLaren or whatever, it was McLaren.
Mig:Doing about 100. So from right there, whoo you know, they go, they get him and they pull him over.
Rick:Yeah, even from the first reaction that he was saying yeah, so he pulls. He's like don't knock on my window, he doesn't even roll down his window.
Mig:So he pulls over, you know, and they go up to him and he doesn't roll down his window.
Lano:And they're like tinted dark right, you can't see what's inside.
Mig:Yeah, they're tinted dark so you can't see nothing. So they don't know who's in there. Right, the officer goes lightly, knocks on the window, tells him to roll it down. He doesn't do it the first time. Yeah, goes and he knocks on the window again, tells him to roll down the window. Still didn't roll it down. Third time he taps a little harder. Told him to roll it down. Idiot rolls down the window. Hey man, don't be banging on my window.
Mig:Don't be banging on my window it's like let me, let me get your driver's license registration. Don't be banging on my window.
Rick:Don't be banging on my window yeah, yeah, I'm like, I'm like it's like right there already.
Mig:Yeah, like you already know, right from from that point on, I didn't have to see the rest of the video, so no, but you.
Rick:You had to, because then you saw the reaction of the cop, because then the other cop was too over the top as well. So they were both in the wrong nobody's already going.
Lano:I don't really see it that way. I mean, yeah, because he was already.
Rick:I don't know, he wasn't in cuffs. I don't think he was in cuffs, was he? No, they drank. Where he's telling him to sit down and like he's saying something, whatever the other cop, like he's already frustrated, he comes right behind them, grabs them and, like fuck, forces them down. It's like why do you lose your top, why you lose your cool like that? Well, yeah, I mean, you know. No, you gotta see it both sides. You can't just minimize that he was. He was too overly um, aggressive with them because he wasn't even the cop, he wasn't even the one cop that was telling him, giving him directions. He just all of a sudden like fuck this, he went to go get him and he, he like pulled him down. I mean it wasn't that bad, but you could see the aggression of the cop, so that's going to look bad either. Regardless, it's like all right, just put him down, you know.
Mig:It's like, well, I mean, on that same token, it's like you got to know and realize what these guys put up with on the daily. Oh yeah, but you don't have to get them to that point.
Rick:I see so many of these cop show body cam things and all that, yeah, and a lot of these cops, a lot of these cops, they carry on conversation. That's really not necessary. It's like, it's stupid, like I saw this one that they had this car pulled over and the one guy that was driving was drunk and the was dealing with them. The cop was being really cool, really nice, and this guy was being just a smart ass the whole time. And there was two other guys in the car, one car in the back, this, this idiot, just kept talking about the kids of the future and you guys are killing the kids. It's some stupid fat. You fat dude with glasses in the backseat just talking shit and the female cop was keeping an eye on them and, for whatever reason, she kept answering or talking back to his stupidity. It's like why even acknowledge him? Why even have that back and forth with him? And she was looking really stupid because this guy was being real ignorant. And then she's right there, like answering his stupid questions and she's stumbling a lot of stuff what she's saying and she's looking like dumb. It's like don't even bother listening to his stupid ass's rhetoric.
Rick:You know, yeah, but it's just like I see the different reactions and I do see it where cops do have more patience when it's it's it's a dude like that, because, like this same dude that was giving was talking back to the cops, I think if it was a black dude the cops would have been more aggressive or more over the top where the white dude was just like be able to, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, because I, I do, I do see it, because I see a lot of it.
Rick:It's like I'll be watching it and they have these dudes that are pulled over or whatever. It's like dude, take this dude down already, like, what's all this back and forth? It's a back and forth that goes for like 20 minutes, 20, 25 minutes, and then they finally like get minutes, and then they finally like get them down and they cuff them or whatever, where I think if it was a black dude, it would have probably, like, at the 10-minute mark they would have, damn, took them down and it is, I mean, I'm not saying it's, you know, all the cops are like that.
Rick:It all depends, and then it also depends on the area, but it's just sometimes it gets frustrating, because when you see these white dudes that are just mouthing off it's like dude, take this dude down already.
Mig:Well, that's the whole thing With Tyreek. Hill the officers were Hispanic.
Rick:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Mig:And then they were claiming racism.
Rick:Even the cop was saying dude, what are you talking about racism?
Mig:Yeah, so the point I was getting at is that I go back to the kid.
Mig:You know the next time I went, I went back to go get parts and I told him hey, dude, I saw the video. He's like really, you saw it, I saw it. I told him I saw it, I saw it, I've seen it. From when the cops were sitting on their motorcycle to everything, I tell him, and he was being, you know, Terry, was being completely disrespectful to them. Yeah, oh, I didn't see that. I tell him because they show you what they want you to see. Yeah, but my point is that it never gets to that point if you just follow directions, no matter if the cop is in the wrong. It's like this you're speeding.
Rick:Yeah, but even.
Mig:Just say it.
Mig:Yeah, I know I'm speeding, but they took the game or whatever Getting back to your thing about when we were younger, listening to what we listened to and fuck the police and this and that or whatever it's like. And we felt that way because I look back at it and see how much we got harassed in the neighborhood by cops. But really we were up to no good also. So they were kind of justified in harassing us. Yeah, because they knew we were up to something. Yeah, it's like they couldn't prove anything. But you know, if they shook us down, searched us and found anything found the marker, found the paint, can you know? Found the knife or whatever then that would be enough for them to take us in. Yeah, you know, but that's what I'm saying, you know it's. It's like back then that's where the anger for the cops came from. But, like, as you get older, you know, it's like you start to realize that if you just follow directions, when they tell you, nothing's ever going to get to the point where we see all this stuff that comes out online, that comes out on TV, it's like everything, how they say, like with George Floyd and with Michael Brown and that other broad that got shot in her apartment or whatever. It never gets to that point unless you push it to that point.
Mig:It's like what about that one time we were going to Vegas and I was probably doing about 95 or 100, cause I was trying to keep up with this other stupid BMW that was hauling ass In your group. Yeah, it was me, rick, roger and Eric, but the BMW was your group. No, no, I was just trying to keep up with them and he just like flew by me but they pulled me over Easily. The cop could have taken me in for reckless driving because I was doing over 100. And since I was cool, you know, I didn't blow my top or nothing. I knew I got busted. I could have bitched and complained and said how come you didn't go after that BMW? That's going way faster? Yeah, you know, or nothing? Knew I got busted.
Mig:I could have bitched and complained and said how come you didn't go after that bmw? That's going way faster. Yeah, you know nothing. I just I sat there, I shut up, got my ticket and he brought it down to an under 95 mile an hour. Yeah, because anything over 95 they could take you to jail.
Mig:Yeah, yeah oh really yeah, anything over 95, they'll take you to jail. So he brought it down and just told me you know what, be careful. It's like Just get there, yeah, yeah. It's like don't Doesn't matter how fast you get there, you know, just get there.
Lano:You didn't tell him, like you're trying to Chase this other guy, no.
Rick:That's the thing when we were doing shit when we were younger, and we get. It's like it's always following directions, yeah, and nothing, I'm not going to mouth off.
Mig:I know yeah.
Rick:I know the shit that I was doing.
Mig:Yeah, so that's my point exactly.
Rick:Yeah so.
Mig:It's like, even though we did stuff that was breaking the law, and clearly it's like we didn't sit there. And you know it's like I could easily say. It's like oh, why are you pulling me over? You know it's like I could easily say it's like oh, why are you pulling?
Rick:me over, you know, just because you see a group of minorities in a car.
Mig:You know it's like we didn't pull the white guy over in the BMW that was doing 130. You know, it's like I could easily popped off like that.
Rick:You know, and giving the cop attitude, I want to say that that wasn't even a thing. That wasn't even a thing, though so much of the I know Rodney King got beat down by those cops. I don't know how much you see, but then I wonder dude how much they?
Mig:made him embrace it makes you wonder, because they started filming once they were beating him down. Makes you wonder what happened before that. Yeah See, there's no footage. We don't know if he mouthed off or popped off. I mean not to say that those cops were justified or anything.
Lano:But they didn't have body cams then.
Mig:They didn, those cops were justified or anything, but they didn't have body cams, then, you know. But we don't know why it escalated To the point that it did. You know, it's like that's what I wonder about. You know, I was like those dudes were still completely in the wrong and it wouldn't surprise me One bit if they just pulled him over Just cause he was black. And those four guys are just a bunch of racist a-holes. They just wanted to beat the shit out of someone. You know, but it's like that that I've I've been wondering that lately. It's like I wonder what happened like the 10 minutes before that video camera started rolling it just sucks because, regardless of the cop's race, it was always just that police brutality.
Rick:Yeah, regardless of the race of the person.
Mig:Yeah.
Rick:And now today, it's always got to be a race thing. No, because it's not just the police. It's a race thing Because even back then, when it was, police brutality.
Mig:I remember being harassed by the cops in the neighborhood, but I remember the Hispanic cops.
Rick:Yeah, it was always being the worst dude, yeah they were the ones that treated us the worst. The cool ones were the white.
Mig:Yeah, yeah, it was always like, that's why yeah that's why I'm always like, when you guys want to bring race and all this shit into it, it's like, nah, man, yeah, it's like our own people were the ones that treated us the worst.
Lano:Well, you you know, quote our own people. Yeah.
Mig:You know, but yeah, dude, you know it was like, but yeah, now it's like they want to race everything. You know, it's like they play the race card. So much, dude.
Rick:But that happening, Rodney King, that just brought that amped up all awareness. Yeah, the cops had it really Cause the cops back then they really did abuse their power? No, they did.
Mig:And the majority of the police force Was white, you know. So Back then there did need to be. Well the footage, like I'm, that's horrible.
Lano:It's really grainy. You can't even tell the their landing there did need to be. Well, the footage is like it's really it's really grainy, you can't even tell if they're landing, but I mean they are.
Mig:There's no call for that, dude. There's absolutely no call for that. Those cops are such pieces of shit, dude.
Lano:I guess this is another one.
Rick:I think they. I think they made a movie about this other one, oscar Grant.
Lano:He's in Cubs, but so the show's almost over. I wanted to. This is another thing. I saw another taste test. My brother-in-law told me about this. So my brother-in-law, matt, matt. So my brother-in-law, matt, matt, cervantes, it better be good, matt. He told me that Coke Zero has an Oreo flavor and then Oreos has a Coke flavor. So I sent the wifey out to go look for them. All we got was the Oreos today, so hopefully we'll find the Cokes. We'll try. Next, out to go look for them, all we got was the Oreos today, so hopefully we'll find the Cokes We'll try next. But it's the package says Oreo Coca-Cola with popping candies. So this is the you know what, matt?
Mig:You have a very low bar set because with that garbage, doritos, alcohol that Lano brought, nothing could be that bad.
Rick:We're going to find the Coke flavored.
Lano:Oreo.
Mig:The Oreo flavored Coke. Now, my wife did say, when she was looking at Target, that the Oreo flavored Coke had four stars.
Lano:And then the Coke flavored Oreos, and then the Coke flavored Oreos, or the Oreo Coke-flavored Oreos or the Oreo-flavored Cokes, only had two stars.
Rick:So I don't think anything's going to be worse than that. So right now we're doing the Coke-flavored Oreos. Yeah, yeah, and then we got to find the Oreo-flavored Coke.
Lano:Yeah.
Rick:All right, let's see, I had some Oreos that had.
Mig:See that the poppy. It's red on one side or kind of like pink With the classic Oreo.
Lano:The other side it says Coke with poppy and candy Smells like Coke, does it? Oh yeah? And the Coke has like Two soda cans on the cookie shell Coke or two Coke bottles and the logo, the script logo. Oh yeah, the script logo. Oh, this camera's focused pretty good.
Mig:All right, let's try it. All right, I'm getting a flavor like a cook for about a know what the popping like the fizz or something like a little bit of fizz I don't taste coke it's not that bad to me.
Lano:I wonder if we should save some to dip and cook.
Mig:You know how smell and taste and everything all ties in Right now the sense that I get.
Lano:Is if, like I, swallowed.
Mig:Like if I swallowed some pints, all Kind of. Is that like?
Lano:a swallowed some Pine Sol Kind of. Is that like a minty flavor? No, I'm going to split my second one.
Mig:Or like, if you just took like they can held a big whiff of Pine Sol.
Lano:Fabuloso.
Mig:No, not Fabuloso.
Lano:Mmm. So the popping's in the cream? Did I split my second one? Yeah, the little popping sensation is inside the cream.
Mig:It's definitely not something I would buy, but it's definitely not as horrible as that disgusting alcohol that this dude poisoned us with a few weeks ago.
Lano:I don't want to figure out how to do a short of that to put that online.
Mig:Yeah, I give that about a two.
Lano:So the flavor? I ate the red cookie. The flavor is only in the cream so far.
Mig:If you're going to mess with my Oreos, just double stuff them and that's about it.
Lano:Yeah, it's only the cream. What do you think? I don't taste Coke.
Rick:No Coca-Cola for me.
Lano:A syrup flavor Nothing, I get a little bit.
Mig:I mean there's an odd flavor there, but it's not Coke. Yeah, it's not.
Rick:Coke, I'm telling you I get a little bit. I mean, there's an odd flavor there but it's not Coke.
Mig:Yeah, it's not Coke. Uh-oh, I'm telling you, I get more like a Pine Sol Nah.
Lano:I don't want that shit.
Rick:No, I don't want that shit anymore. You can finish that All right. So this was.
Mig:You can put that pack right next to the bottle that you still have.
Lano:That's a thumbs down for me. Yeah, Thumbs down. Now how do you think the Coke's going to taste? I mean, is it going to taste like Oreos? Do you think that's going to be good? I was more excited about the cookie than the soda. We'll see. I don't know. Hopefully the wifey can find it. No pressures on her.
Rick:Yeah, pressures on her. Yeah, that's a no for me.
Lano:Yeah so more, more food reviews coming up, yeah, and then, um, hopefully, next week we have, we have g, hopefully but uh, yeah, not very good.
Mig:Don't go out of your way, people. Yeah, oreo coke flavored oreos. Avoid it, but keep on drifting, yo peace.
