Episode 115 - Halloween Hijinks and Culinary Commotions: Haunted House Mishaps, Johnny's Delights, and Future Tech Tales
Ever been startled by a lifelike Michael Myers figure while house-sitting? You won't want to miss my hilarious recounting of exactly that as we gear up for Rick's legendary Halloween bash. While Rick is busy turning his home into a haunted wonderland, I take you on a culinary adventure at Johnny's on Adams. Our cozy chat over Cali style French dip and traditional deli-style pastrami sandwiches is sure to leave your taste buds tingling and your sides aching from laughter. With fewer voices in today's episode, the conversation remains spirited and mouthwateringly delicious.
As we explore the local food scene, our recent visit to Johnny's on Adams becomes a gourmet tour of chicken tenders, Matzo ball soup, and decadent desserts like soft-serve s'mores. We reminisce about past favorites, like the unforgettable half meatball, half sausage sandwich from Falerio's, and look ahead to a future outing with Ricky, who knows his way around a pastrami sandwich. With a lighthearted nod to Tesla's futuristic cyber cab, we wonder how these driverless taxis might soon redefine urban commuting.
Shifting gears, we marvel at SpaceX's reusable rockets and imagine the possibilities of space travel becoming more accessible. We share our skepticism and fascination with self-driving cars and technological advancements as a whole, pondering whether today's innovations will inspire tomorrow's dreamers. A hearty mix of Dodgers playoffs excitement, stealth bomber anecdotes, and nostalgic reflections on "A Christmas Story" wraps up our episode, leaving you with stories to savor and a smile that lasts. Join us for a lighthearted yet forward-looking conversation that promises both laughter and thought-provoking insights.

Welcome back to the Drifting on Arroyo podcast. This is Mig, this is Lano, and that's it. People, it's a light show today. Short show, short show, well, maybe short show Depends on how it goes, how it flows. But Rick is missing, surprisingly, not due to work. He is working, but not at work.
Lano:Right, he has his annual. I guess it's third time, third annual.
Mig:He missed last year. Oh, he did, yeah, because last year his house was a mess so he didn't have it last year Annual Halloween bash or party, costume party. Should be pretty good. I got a little preview of it this weekend Cause he went Ensenada. Oh you housed it? Yeah, so I housed at the dogs or took care of the dogs. That dumbass dude I get there, cause he left, I guess, like early Saturday morning.
Lano:Right.
Mig:So I didn't have to get there until like maybe like Saturday afternoon or so. So I get there. I'm opening the freaking door, dude, and his door like it opens up and there's like the hallway and like you can see, like the the back window where it goes out to the Backyard. Dude and his door like it opens up and there's like the hallway and like you can see, like the back window where it goes out to the backyard.
Lano:Right the new window you put in. You know how it goes.
Mig:Right, you can see the kitchen counter and everything. Well, at the end of the damn hall, dude, he has set up a freaking Michael Myers, like full Michael Myers standing there, dude, with like full Michael Myers standing there doing like a bloody machete in one hand and a head in the other. And that's the first step thing. I see, dude. As soon as I walk to the door I'm like holy shit, dude.
Lano:In the shadows, or did he have like a light shading?
Mig:No, there were no lights or anything. I was in the shadows, you know. It was like so it's kind of dark in there and everything already. And, man, that scared the shit out of me. Dude, I was like what the f? Man I was like I'm like this freaking dude is like he could have given me a warning but that's where it's gonna be at, or that's just like uh no, he's just getting stuff ready where does he keep all that stuff?
Lano:uh?
Mig:bins and everything, oh man. He has shelving all over the place. But this year I think he's pretty cool because he's setting up a little maze on the entrance. So as you get there and you walk in through the driveway he's going to have a little maze. So he's going to probably set some stuff up right there.
Mig:So the driveway is going to be like the interest to go to the back, yeah, and then like what is he using cardboard? Or how is he setting up like just stuff, like no, he his shelving that he has. Uh-huh, he like set up kind of like aisles, like you gotta snake around it, oh wow. So you'll probably cover everything up and like around each corner, put something you know kind of like, like not scary looks like, yeah, it's good. Looks like it's gonna be cool man.
Lano:Let's see if we have people Running around like Popping out, like with chainsaws.
Mig:I mean cause that first year that he did it. It's like he. I thought he knocked it out the park too, with the decorations and everything. I thought he did a great job.
Lano:And then Normally your sister helps out too, right?
Mig:For Christmas, halloween not so much oh he does a Christmas party too.
Lano:Oh, he does the no, just his Christmas decorations. But then he does the Secret Santa too, right, yeah? Or the Turkey Fry.
Mig:But um yeah, so he's Busy doing that, so that's why he's not here.
Lano:And G couldn't make it because he's out sick, so just the two of us just the two of us um nice and cozy. So we're a little I mean I'm a little fool right now.
Mig:We just ate I like gordas some pretty damn good pastrami, man pastrami.
Lano:Um, I think it's just called johnny's, so it's not johnny's well the way they distinguish them.
Mig:It's johnny's in culver city, which we already reviewed but that's officially johnny's pastrami that's johnny's pastrami with the ie, yeah, in culver city, and that's the one that we already reviewed. We did video on it and everything it's up on the Instagram.
Lano:And on our list that was our number one pastrami spot, yeah.
Mig:So today we did another famous Johnny's that's spelled with a Y and this Johnny's is known as Johnny's on Adams Right, and so it's a lot closer. It's near the Jefferson Park area and the thing about this place is they do the pastrami two different styles. It's a lot closer, it's near the Jefferson Park area and the thing about this place is they do the pastrami two different styles. So they do it what they call a Cali style or French dip style, which is what we're used to, like a thin sliced pastrami on a French roll, you know nice and juicy and everything. And they do the traditional deli style, which is like the hand cut With some kind of like a dressing and like a coleslaw in it, and both are really, really good yeah on the menu it says pastrami sandwich and then it says Reuben or I don't know what makes it a Reuben, but it says half or full on tartine marble rye with mustard.
Lano:You can get it with a coleslaw or Reuben style.
Mig:Well, the Reuben is the coleslaw with the Russian dressing and, I think, cheese. Is that the one we?
Lano:got, yeah, yeah. So first the first one, the thinly sliced one. I mean I'm glad you ate it, that's the way I ate it first.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:I'm glad you ate it first.
Mig:I mean it's, it's really good. But to say that one's better than the other, I don't. I still think they're. The flavors are too different. The two Johnnies, the two Johnnies, the two Johnnies. Yeah, because this one is a little more savory, like it has a little more depth of flavor. That's right.
Lano:It had like more flavor.
Mig:It has something, yeah, something.
Lano:It was like a rub, something was on there, something, yeah, I didn't know what it was.
Mig:But Johnny's in Culver City is also really good because it doesn't have, you know, that much savoriness, but it has a different type of flavor, you know, and then when you put that hot mustard on it, it's like that just knocks it out the park.
Lano:Yeah this one was missing the hot mustard. Even my wife made that comment.
Mig:You know. But then their traditional deli, pastrami here on Adams Is really good Because it tastes like you're almost eating like A brisket sandwich.
Lano:That's the thick cut. That's the thick cut.
Mig:Yeah, that's the thick cut one and that one's good. You know, cause Like for someone that likes um Barbecue, you know, and I love getting like a burnt end or like a crust and everything. That's what this Traditional or Reuben style pastrami has. You know, it has that um smoky flavor, which I love. It's not too much, you know, it's not overpowering, but it's there. You can definitely taste it.
Lano:And these are like quarter inch slices.
Mig:I mean, it's a thick cut.
Lano:It's a thick hand cut but it's like it melts in your mouth. It's not. It's not hard, you can't I mean you just easily cut it with your teeth. It's not like you're peeling or tugging at it, just like cuts easily, like it's which a lot of places.
Mig:That's why a lot of places. The pastrami is not good because I don't know where they're getting it from, but like a thin slice pasti. It's like if they don't slice it thin enough or if it's not a good quality piece of meat. It's like it's kind of tough and chewy. So I know what you're talking about.
Lano:Because you go to the hat like you're going to be needing a toothpick after trying to get it out between your teeth, like the ligaments or whatever, and it'll be more salty. But this was just like a like.
Mig:It seems like it's, like you said, like a brisket, like it's been sitting there for hours. It's like it's not salty but it just has like this flavor. You know, it's like it's not a salty flavor, but it's just like there's something there, dude they. It's hard to describe unless you have it and and this, we did get delivery.
Lano:So it was, um, I don't know, let's say 45 minutes old or an hour old, because it's about, um, I mean with traffic. It's about an hour away, 45 minutes yeah, probably with traffic.
Lano:I mean, the guy picked it up at like a five o'clock rush hour so it took a while to get here. The franchise were all, like you know, moist from the steam and stuff, but um, for it being like, you know, like sitting there for an hour like it was still good, but I mean having it fresh, this probably makes it better, I mean yeah, I mean we probably definitely have to go trade and get it like fresh, you know oh I was especially the fries man, because the fries it comes with the sauce is like dipping sauce.
Mig:It's kind of like almost like um, like a garlic aioli or yeah, like if you go to zancow chicken, you know they give you that garlic spread. Oh, yeah, like if you go to Zancow Chicken, you know they give you that garlic spread. Oh, right, right, right it's like really dangerous man because if you eat too much of it you get like that garlic breath the whole day. But that's what it reminds me of.
Lano:Yeah, so the fries it says hand-cut fries, sea salt, black pepper, side of garlic sauce. Yeah, I mean I kind of give it a an edge over johnny's with an eye culver city, johnny's, just, and and the way I eat it, like I mean I'm with my wife, so it's two people, so like I, I get a half of each one, because I feel like you got to try both of them. Yeah, but um, just, it had like a different flavor, like a flavor that I wasn't expecting and I want to say like the bread's good quality, it is the cut's good. I mean it's a Everything's really good.
Mig:It's a really good sandwich. It's definitely worth going there for Right.
Lano:And it's on Adams, like maybe across Adams and Crenshaw, like maybe a block away from Crenshaw. So if you're out in that area, it's um jefferson park area, definitely try it. But I'm looking at the menu which, like I don't know, like if I'll ever try this stuff, but they got a cheese burger, the johnny burger, which is like a pastrami burger basically. So you got a patty and then they got, oh, but I wonder what kind of pastrami I know, is it a thick cut or the?
Lano:yeah and then you got the crispy chicken sandwich and then a barbecue brisket sandwich. Like you said, it kind of tastes like barbecue. So looking at these pictures hopefully we got another camera set up so hopefully you guys can see this so this kind of looks like chopped pastrami kind of. I'm guessing that's the burger, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mig:It kind of looks like cubed. Oh yeah, it's going to be the hand-cut one then like cubed.
Lano:Oh yeah, it's gonna be. It's gonna be the hand-cut one then. And then, um, this chicken. I mean, this looks like um, what do you call it? The, the bread like. The, the asian dishes. What's called like?
Mig:um uh, what do you uh tempura?
Lano:like it's like kind of like a tempura kind of crust kind of. And then they have this dessert and then look at this chicken sandwich. Wow, like I want to try the chicken sandwich, but like mean, do you not get the pastrami when you get there? And then they Well, I mean you already tried the pastrami. So yeah.
Lano:And then this is the sandwich. We had the thick, cut, stacked side by side, two slices, which is good. And then these are the sandwiches you got the regular burger, the pastrami burger, which is the johnny, then you got the chicken sandwich, but, um, it looks like, it looks all like high quality stuff, simple, like simple burgers, dude. And then, um, so the burger and sandwiches, and then, um, they have a hot dog, which, um, what, what is that merguez? How do you say that?
Mig:I don't know.
Lano:How do you say merguez? I don't know what that is, but it's like a spicy dog. Chicken tenders for the kids. We saw a picture of that Matzo ball soup, I'm guessing all this stuff's really good. And then we had the french fries and I had the potato salad, which was good too. And then they got soft-serve s'mores for the dessert oh, that's what that was. And then a banana cream pie.
Mig:Ooh, that must be good.
Lano:And then they got some house sodas too, ginger and a sage, citrus, thai basil, tamarindo and mint. So I mean everything looks like high quality ingredients. So this is Johnny's on Adams. It was good, it was good people. That's that s'more thing. Huh, yeah, that looks pretty good. So, out of all the days, ricky missed out, but that was one of the reasons why I ordered it, because I just had to order for two, not for for three. But, um, I mean we might have to make a trip out there take some pictures.
Lano:Yeah, have ricky, be the do an official review the dec tiebreaker, the tiebreaker two out of the three.
Mig:You know, that's true, because he hasn't been the biggest fan of Pastrami, right, you know, but he did really like Johnny's in Cover City, so he would be the decider, you know, because for someone that's not a fan to like it, you know.
Lano:And then we got to take him here to see what he thinks of this one and then, like you take your dad, take your brother, because I know you took your dad out to the culver city johnny's and then, if you're working with your brother, if you guys are out there in that area working on a truck, try it, try it out oh, talking about my brother, you know I've been trying to figure out who would order the half meatball, half sausage from Falerio's when it was him.
Mig:So you would split it with him. No, well, that's how he would order it, him and his ex well, his girlfriend at the time. You know, he was in high school or after high school, but he's the one that would order it like that. So, school, but he's the one that would order it like that. So you asked him when you heard it on the show. No, I asked him, it was bugging me. It's like I thought for sure it was you guys that ordered it like that and we always would get it. But no, it was him, he's the one that would order it like that.
Lano:So it was the meatball sandwich and sausage sandwich.
Mig:Yeah, it's half meatball half sausage.
Lano:But you could order it like that. You're not cutting the sandwich in half, no.
Mig:Hmm, I haven't looked at that. You could get sausage in with the meatball.
Lano:I don't know, I'll have to try that, because I do like a sausage sandwich.
Mig:You know, I don't know if people still order them like that or not. You'd probably have to ask if they could do it, because they might not, I don't know. But back then that's how he would order it. I bet he hasn't been there in years. No, he hasn't. When I brought it up he was like, oh shit man. I was like, no, I want Falerials. Because he remembered how good it was that sandwich, uh-huh. So it's like I got them, that's I mean working on trucks throughout the city.
Lano:you guys get to try out different stuff. That's why I like you always like introduce me to new spots, Even even on his side of town.
Mig:Yeah, sometimes we try.
Lano:I don't know if you heard in the news, but Tesla had a main event showcasing their new cars, so this is what I have on the screen. They're calling this their cyber cab and this is going to be like a driverless taxi.
Mig:I heard about that.
Lano:So supposedly it's going to be under $30,000. The doors open like this, with no steering wheel, and just using cameras Nope, nope. And then they had this van Nope, now you're kind of answering my question now Nope. Would, you ever.
Mig:Nope, don't trust it.
Lano:Would you trust?
Mig:getting in a car like that. No, no.
Lano:With no wheels or steering wheel.
Mig:Don't trust it 50 years down the line, after they've been on the road for 30 years with no problems or minimal problems, then maybe I'll trust it Right now coming out. Nope, so this is supposed to come?
Lano:out late, 26, before 2027,. He said Nope, you won't catch me in one of those death traps.
Mig:Now, um what did impress me from Tesla, though? He said Nope, you won't catch me in one of those death traps. Now, um what did impress me from Tesla, though, is SpaceX. Oh, you saw that. Did you see that rocket?
Lano:Yeah, I saw that how they captured it.
Mig:They call it like chopsticks. Dude, that shit was impressive, man, to see that rocket booster return back to the launch pad Right and just like land perfectly. Turned back to the launch pad and just like land perfectly. That was amazing, dude. When I was watching that it almost didn't even look real. It's like you're sitting there watching and it looks like it was like some kind of like a claymation thing or something you know like it didn't look real.
Lano:So Tesla's been making these rockets that land by themselves, either at the platform where it takes off or in the ocean on a ship.
Lano:But this new rocket, this big, rocket that they're working on it to go to the moon or to go to Mars. They caught the rocket they call it chopsticks, but it's this big tower that has these arms that swing together and just kind of catch it while it floats in front of it and, um, they actually pulled it off over the weekend. Yeah, it shows pretty incredible if you see the the video, but it just so. Supposedly they're just gonna catch it and then, like you know, restack the other rocket on top or refill it and put the other one and catch it and then, like, reload them, and apparently they they do this because, um, normally rockets, they they go up in space and then they just, like you know, crash in the ocean and that's why they're so expensive. But this they're gonna be saving like billions and billions dollars.
Mig:If they like, reuse them that's the whole thing is that they're getting repeat performance out of them, you know, instead of just losing them and having to build new ones for the next mission but, um, yeah, this footage was pretty, pretty amazing.
Lano:I don't know if it's for our generation, is I mean? People are saying it's like landed on the moon, but I mean, this was pretty impressive I thought it was damn impressive, man that's and you knew about it. You just heard about the video.
Mig:I saw it on the news. I saw the news that he did that and I saw that I was like wow, dude, I was really thinking back. I was like holy shit, dude.
Lano:And I tried to wake up early but there was like I woke up at seven but it was like seven o'clock texas time, so I was like a few hours late.
Mig:So I saw, I saw the I had no idea what's going on.
Lano:No, I've been, we've been waiting for it because he's been testing it. And then, um, they're trying to land it at first, but the landings were coming in too hard, and so this was their new idea. So if they could do this, you still don't think they could make that car drive itself. Nope, that's interesting.
Mig:Well, you know why? Because there's not a thousand other damn rockets trying to land at the same spot.
Lano:True, true, true. That's why, when you got hundreds of thousands of other idiots on the road not paying attention or whatever, you know, your, your cameras are only gonna react so fast, or you know yeah, and the fact that they use cameras like, um, like you know, there could be a glare on the camera, there could be something, you know, that blinds it, and and at camera there could be something that blinds it. And at first they were having trouble with white semis that cut across, because there would be a glare On the trailer and stuff.
Lano:There could be a glitch In the software, so no no, thank you, but it's just crazy that they're actually Even trying to do it. And I like this like the dreamer mentality, like let's dream it up and let's try to get it to work, or let's try doing it.
Mig:Like you know what I do want to try In Vegas, that loop that he has.
Lano:The tunnel Uh-huh. Yeah, that I would try, and that's the thing. Like he built that tunnel-huh, yeah, that that I will try. And that's the thing like he built that tunnel. And right now, like people drive you through that tunnel but they can put the car drive itself because it's just like, uh, the same track over and over again, like you'll know, like well, isn't that what the whole point?
Lano:is doesn't it have itself? Well, not right now. Right now, someone drives you like an uber driver drives you through it. Oh really, but um, but now that they have the cars able to do it, they're going to start having the cars go through it automatically.
Mig:I thought I was doing that already no, not, not yet.
Lano:I mean it's all like baby steps, so the cars are not doing it yet, but like you said that, like there's no cross traffic, yeah there's no cross traffic, you know, there's no other variables and it just drives through the tunnel.
Lano:So that's the whole idea, and he wants to put tunnels like that everywhere. What I'm waiting for is, like the cars to talk to each other, but it'll be so hard because there's different brands where, like, if my car wants to make a lane change, it tells the other car next to it, like either speed up or slow down, you know. So then everything like works smoothly. Like you know, like we were talking the other day about jumping on freeways and, like you know, people don't follow like the zipper rule one after another, but if cars are able to talk to each other and then like you don't know, oh, it's like, this guy goes first, this guy goes second.
Mig:Then and then what if people figure out how to program their car and they make you drive like an asshole the way they do more?
Lano:aggressive. Yeah, and that's the thing the tesla does has like, um, like that self-driving because you could test. It's called supervised self-driving where, like, it gives you a warning, like, like, it'll drive itself, but it gives you a warning when you, when you, when you turn it on, that, um, the car might make the wrong decision at the absolutely wrong time. So that's comforting to know it says that. So, just like, be ready, it's all.
Lano:Pay attention, the car make may make the wrong decision at the absolutely like worst time or wrong time, so like just be ready to grab the wheel or step on the brake or whatever it's like when the car is barreling towards that uh bus full of orphans and nuns it might not stop because I, we have tried it, but in like Palm Springs or like traffic Palm Springs you got like Big old streets and then like it's less traffic.
Mig:So We've tested it Like on vacation Believe me, dude, nobody would want that To work more than me. It's like Cause there's times when I'm driving around and I'm just so tired, I'm so sleepy, and like, if I'm just so tired, I'm so sleepy, and if I could just close my eyes for like five minutes, not have to worry about rear-ending someone, that would be so nice.
Lano:I'm looking to see if I can find the exact words, but it's pretty like when you read it, it's oh, like, do I really want to do this or not? Like it's kind of scary.
Mig:Sometimes it's like it's cool because it's in the inception. Right now it's in the very beginning, the baby stages, like you said, but I think we're decades away from it being perfected.
Lano:Yeah.
Mig:And it being like to where people are gonna feel Completely comfortable. You know and like, like you said, you know, it's like the cards communicate with each other Let them know where they're at, or but who's gonna get by, or whatever, you know, I mean.
Lano:I I like that like they're setting like the bar out there.
Mig:Yeah, I mean that's the, that's the, that's like the bar out there. Yeah, I mean that's like the goal.
Lano:Yeah, the goal.
Mig:That's like the end game that they're heading for, you know, and cool. More power to Tesla, you know, for figuring this shit out, you know. More power to Elon for doing it, you know. But right now you ask me to get in. One of those things, no.
Lano:Because, like, if you don't set the goal of the bar, no one's going to try it, no one's going to With this event. He's like the future should look like the future. That's why his cars are like the Cybertruck they look space age.
Mig:It's like go back to all the movies and shows that we used to watch in the 80s, even in the 90s dude, everything that's set in the future. You go back and you look at the years that they chose for the future In a lot of those movies and we've already either passed them or we're in them right now. Right yeah, it's like look at, look at Back to the Future, the second movie. They went 30 years into the future, from 85.
Lano:So it was like 2005? That was like 2015.
Mig:Yeah, and look at 2015 came and went. We're already like nine years past, that there's not even any semblance of what they envisioned in the movie. I think there's barely those hover hoverboards, which is not even that, I mean you know, I mean not even that, like you have, like the one wheel and all that stuff like it's what we call hoverboards.
Mig:Now, like the toys are, they're not hoverboards, they're just like, yeah, I mean, and then, and then the thing is too. It's like by now we were expected to be living like the jetsons right Right. You know it's like where everything's. You know, no, the cars are not like regular cars. You know we're all speeding around in the air. You know, throwing the dog outside on a treadmill that floats to walk up. You know robot maids named Rosie, To walk them you know robot maids named Rosie.
Lano:Now, at that same Tesla event, I don't know. They're working on this robot. Did you see pictures of the robot?
Mig:No.
Lano:So he's making this robot and it's supposed to be for like labor, like it's going to serve you drinks at the party. It's going to, like go to the car, pick up the groceries, pick up your packages. That shit looks too much like Ultron dude. At the event, they had it actually making drinks for you at the bar. So this was an actual prototype. They had different ones at the bar making drinks. They had videos. They show it dancing and stuff. Just tricks. Um, like you could play like rock, paper scissors, but like just taking out your trash cans, like into the yard and watering your plants. It's supposed to do all the the boring stuff yeah that you don't like to do.
Lano:But he says, um, he's gonna have it under 30, under 30 000, and he says it's about again, two years away from selling it.
Mig:That's crazy.
Lano:But again, like I mean you get it, but like I mean I figure this robot would be passed down through generations. But, like you said, there's always hackers. Hackers always like figure out ways to. You can have, like a bank account that people have, like you know, all the encryption enrolled or whatever, but they still always like you always get those data breaches where they steal your addresses or passwords and stuff. So it's always like a fight against hackers. So I mean if this thing can water your grass, then I mean he could put like fingers around your neck. You know what I mean Exactly.
Mig:That's what I'm saying, dude.
Lano:But I mean it's just interesting, I mean it's incredible Innovative stuff, but To fully trust it. Like to clean your house.
Mig:Vacuum.
Lano:I'll have to show you these videos after. If you play it, it'll be copyright To clean the house and everything, but it's like for people to interact with it and it's just, I don't know, dude, it's weird man even if he, like he pushes you or something like you know it's crazy, but I mean this if Ricky gets it, he could put it in his maze, have it jump out at you like you're in the back, or have it pass out the candy it's gonna be like raw and any.
Lano:He moves pretty like um fluid. It was pretty flat I'll show you the videos later but pretty crazy.
Mig:It's crazy, it's amazing, but nah, not for me I don't trust it.
Lano:You said 30 years For all this stuff. How I mean. Growing up, my dad was saying when you grow up, cars are going to fly. That didn't happen. Like I'm already like older than him when he told me that, so he's already let me down on that. But like, is this in my daughter's generation? Now that you have someone like this?
Mig:I meank he could be like the da vinci of our generation, like someone that's, whatever the guy, leo, whatever he could be, the one that inspires your daughter, you know, and she becomes even smarter and grander than him. But you have to have the dreams.
Lano:I mean the rocket. He caught the rocket, but how many times did that rocket crash before Trying it over and over and over again? You need someone to keep pushing.
Mig:Well, that's the thing. It's like, they say Ben Franklin invented the light bulb, right.
Lano:Right.
Mig:But they say that at first he learned something like 1,000 thousand or two thousand ways how not to make it right before he actually made the one that works like the right filament that lasted, and so I mean it's not, it's not easy, dude, it's not gonna be right away, it's not gonna be instant.
Mig:You know it's gonna. It's gonna take a lot of work, man. It's got a lot of research, a lot of you know what they say research and development, a lot of trial and testing, I mean, and it's not all because we went to the moon in 69 60, was it 69?
Lano:yeah, 69 right yeah, all around there in the late 60s. Yeah, I'm not I'm not too good with that, and then uh, we got there and then like I don't know how many times we went up there. I mean, I just know the one time, but maybe we did like three or four missions after that. I don't know. Yeah, I times we went up there. I just know of the one time, but maybe we did three or four missions after that. I don't know?
Mig:Yeah, I actually stepped foot on there, I think twice.
Lano:Twice with people.
Mig:Two or three times.
Lano:But then after that, the program I don't know if it was funding or what with the presidents or something but we didn't go back and then the space shuttle never made it out there. Those were just low, low orbit stuff. But like, yeah, the space shuttle, like you know, had its issues so that they retired and then we're catching rides with the russians but now, like, having this american company, spacex is, is bringing us back. We're like no other country's doing it right now. Russia's not doing it.
Lano:You know, the asian countries. No one else is doing landing rockets at all, yeah, so I'm glad that we're back in the forefront. And then, um, now that, um, I think we still have that space force right, that branch of the government you know, I'm not sure, dude, that was uh, that was trump's thing.
Lano:I know it was trump's about him, so I'm not I'm not sure if it's there or not if they dismounted right away as soon as they got him out but I know, like that was part of that initiative to like put stuff like I mean putting technology back out there and stuff, instead of us buying it, yeah, but what else?
Mig:Pretty crazy stuff, dude what else have current news.
Lano:I guess the Dodgers made it to the second round, but we had our last game was pretty bad. When's the next game? Well, I mean give and bad.
Mig:When's the next game? Well, I mean give and take. You know. First game, they completely whooped them. Second game, they were getting whooped themselves, but they fought back a little. So but it's just game by game, dude, I mean, every day's a new day, so have you been catching any of the?
Lano:I've been missing it, but the flybys, with the planes?
Mig:No, actually, when I was watching the first game Against the Mets and I was Sunday I heard the flyby. If I heard it already, then it's gone.
Lano:Once you hear it, it's already past you, because the sound is delayed.
Mig:I was going to run out to see if I could see it, but if I already heard it, it's gone.
Lano:Yeah, we heard it. I tried to get it off the kids. I'm grabbing them like it's ready, Come on, run outside.
Mig:It was a stealth right.
Lano:I don't know what it was and I was hoping we would catch it turning around, but it just turned up the other direction.
Mig:It didn't, it didn't come back towards our way. I remember that first year, dude, when those stealth bombers were um were first made, and it was like an opening day, or it was like fourth of july, it was something but they come every. For new year's, for the rose bowl they come every stadium or for new year's yeah it was something like that, and those styles came by, came by dude, more than one.
Lano:No, it was the one, the one, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Mig:Yeah and dude, that thing was incredible man. Yeah, because you see it coming, you don't hear anything.
Lano:I think it's every year for the Rose Parade or every other year, but it's always because, just like there's nothing like it in the sky, no, I mean, it's coming towards you and you see it, you don't hear a peep. It's like gliding yeah dude.
Mig:It's like it passes with a whisper, but then, once it passes, you dude the rumble that you hear. Man Shit, it's amazing.
Lano:I think I've told this on the air. But I remember Danny's dad, like we knew it was coming because we saw it on the Rose Parade. So when it comes on the Rose Parade it normally comes for the Rose Bowl game in the afternoon. So Danny's dad was out of action for a few years so he came back and then he was working on a car. He was under the car so, um, we knew it was coming. Like you know, the band is like they're doing the star spangled banner, so we start running outside to prep for it. And this is the time danny was living in highland park up on the hill.
Lano:So, like we're gonna have a good view, which he was like um, like pretty close to the rose bowl at the time, or the area, and and we're telling him like come on, look outside, look outside. So as soon as he pulled out from under the car he got startled and like fell back against the car and he's like Omni, omni, omni. And I didn't know what that meant, but Danny says in Spanish that means UFO or something like that.
Mig:I guess I've never heard that in Spanish he said something like that.
Lano:He's like Omni. And then he's like, oh, he was laughing because he's like, no, it's a plane, but like, if you've never seen it before, you would think it's like a spaceship. It's pretty crazy, that's funny.
Mig:I mean, it does look like it funny.
Lano:I mean it does look like it. So if you ever get a chance to see it, um, and we're we're fortunate, because I guess it comes from edwards or air force base or it comes from wyoming or something, but since it's like a california built plane, it always, it always makes its trip out here, yeah, but uh, I think that's it. I think it's going to be a short show today, unless you got more stuff to Nah, just Some bullshit that I heard today about.
Mig:Well, you don't care.
Lano:Well, tell it, tell it.
Mig:You're driving your Tesla.
Lano:But you're telling me, something made you feel old today.
Mig:Oh, that's something else. Yeah, well, no, I mean, I showed my age, not today.
Mig:This is a story I've been wanting to tell. It happened like a month ago, but it's just like. It just goes to show you know that how time passes, you know, and like today's youth, you know it's like they don't know any like references to the past or anything. Because I'm trying to remember the exact thing. I was at the parts store the parts place where I go to. You know a bunch of young dudes working the counter and they were bringing me out some parts and I was going to make a reference. Oh okay, I got parts. And I was gonna make a reference. Oh okay, I got it.
Mig:It was a christmas story reference oh so when um and none of them had ever heard, even heard, of the movie the christmas story yeah, like three guys up in front counter well, I thought that was a classic, that all of them in their 20s dude. None of them have heard of it.
Lano:That's a shame, yeah, Because I mean I'm putting it in the rotation for my daughters. That's a shame.
Mig:Yeah, so that's why I was like when they were bringing me out, it was actually a radiator, because I was going to do a radiator on a rig. And they were bringing me out this box and on the box it said fragile. So when they were bringing it out I was going to say oh, it's fragile, it must be Italian. But they were all like what it's like? What the hell are you talking about? I'm like, come on, guys, it's like you guys haven't seen the Christmas story. I'm like what's that?
Lano:Oh my goodness dudes. No one caught the reference.
Mig:Yeah.
Lano:I was like, come on, man, and these are. I mean, I don't want to like.
Mig:They're 20-somethings Like.
Lano:Americans or not?
Mig:I mean no, yeah, yeah yeah, no, they're kids that were raised here, you know, and I'm just like what's up with today's youth dude?
Lano:They should play that like that's why I tell them.
Mig:I think they do. But, like you know, miracle on 24. So I started, I started describing I started describing the movie to them, they're like oh, that sounds pretty funny. I'm like dude every year that shit is out for like 24 hours for two days straight, like on tbs or or tnt or usa or one of those man but because of the like, no one watches like antenna tv anymore.
Lano:I don't think very few that's true, they stream everything and streaming like not everybody has the same services, or? Even cable, like the same tbs like you have, or or even like watch that channel because you know sometimes you got these channels and then some of them get like buried, like you never click on or whatever. They're not your favorites or your frequency. But um, that's just a shame, because that's a movie that everybody should watch.
Mig:Yeah, and then, like the older dudes in the back, they heard me talking about it. They're like oh yeah I was like did you ever see the second one? You know the sequel? I'm like yeah, I thought the sequel was pretty decent but never one.
Lano:Yeah, my wife like I'm like, yeah, I thought the sequel was pretty good.
Mig:It was worth watching they like both the guys. Yeah, we never watched it because you know I thought it wasn't going to be any good or anything like that. It's worth checking it out. Yeah, I mean it was definitely good. It's all the original guys and everything.
Lano:The newer one. There's like a knockoff sequel that, like different actors, more recent sequel than um oh, yeah, it's worth it.
Mig:It's worth it. Yeah, that's that's right. There was, yeah, but um you know, dude I know that sucks before you know it, man, your daughters are gonna be graduating high school, dude, I mean my daughter, like she's only two, but like go by fast, dude, cherish it.
