Welcome back to the Drifting on Arroyo p odcast. This is Mig. This is Lano, RK67. He's back. I'm back From last week. We all survived that monster mash that Rick threw. Yeah, pretty good, but we'll get to that. We'll get to that later in the show.
Lano:Welcome back. I do want to say you missed out on some nice pastrami.
Mig:Man, I know when you said you were going to pick it up and that was a tease.
Lano:I could have sent him a private text, but I was like I'm going to let Ricky know.
Mig:It was stressful Just getting the stuff ready for the party and it's still like there are still a few things that I didn't that.
Rick:I didn't get to do that always happens. I was going to tell you to work.
Mig:Get the van started so I can move the van. I wanted to use my dad's van as a prop, but when you were there so I can move the van.
Mig:I wanted to use my dad's van as a prop, but when you were there the last weekend we went to Ensenada. I wanted you to get the van started so I can move it. Well, I want to get it out of there because I want to use that parking space. I want to get it in the back, start taking it apart, but I don't know. It was a good turnout. Way more people than the damn first one.
Rick:Oh really, this was actually the third one.
Lano:The third one I've done.
Mig:The second one Was the other big one, yeah, and there was.
Lano:Man, but you expected it Because you had that RSVP list, right? Yeah, people didn't do it.
Mig:Well, we had that done, the last one too.
Lano:I know, but you're able to count how many people I think this one doubled as Trevor's birthday song.
Mig:Oh gotcha yeah there was more people, but so younger people, more friends, yeah, yeah, so happy birthday, trevor, if you're listening.
Rick:Yeah, Happy birthday Trevor, if you're listening. Happy belated birthday. His birthday was on Friday.
Mig:But yeah, that thing was good. I had a big improvement on it. I did a few things Messed around with little motors, making little life-size props. Yeah, if you guys check out the Instagram page. I did load up couple. I loaded up a couple videos. One of the band that was there Shout out to the Starlighters. The Starlighters were good. Yeah, man, starlighters, check them out On your Instagram or on the Show Instagram. Both on mine and the show's.

Lano:Yeah, it'll be good. Yeah, it'll be up, but yeah, it was it was.
Mig:I did a few new things this time. Like I said, I had bought little motors from Amazon. I made life-size props with PVC piping. The one that I was really happy with was the Michael Myers. Did you record that one? Did you record that one? Did you film?
Rick:that one.
Mig:No, not the pictures, the postings.
Lano:Oh, the postings.
Mig:Yeah, because you're just checking out the pictures. Look at the postings. Oh Well, the postings on your.
Lano:Well, they're on your postings.
Mig:No, the show one, because, look, I'm looking at it right now on my phone, it's on there.
Lano:Oh, okay, it right on my phone. It's on there. Oh, okay, right there. Samples yeah, well, I don't know, I mean Reels, maybe reels. I mean I don't know how to Instagram that much I'm not a. No, oh well, all right, we'll get it. Let's figure it out when did it go. We'll get it figured out I don't know, it's on my phone.
Mig:It was a big weekend because, after cleaning up the party on Sunday, I was out putting some stuff away Once I started hearing the fireworks go. I remember like oh man, the Dodgers clinched you didn't watch the game. I didn't watch it. Oh dude.
Lano:I didn't watch it.
Mig:That was good man. But when I went back to watch the highlights, it's like, man, I started getting that feel, like that feeling of watching baseball and getting into it again, because you know sports, I don't really watch a lot of sports anymore, but yeah, that was pretty exciting man. I'm a casual watcher now. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Mig:It was pretty good. I'm just saying Wayne saying Once he got past the Padres. That's when I was like, Okay, I'm going to start watching them Because it looks like it's going to be pretty serious. It's going to be a serious run.
Lano:I was checking in Just on the score and then, when the 8th inning, I turned on the TV To watch it. Classic matchup.
Mig:Classic matchup inning. Then I turned on TV to watch it. Classic matchup, Classic matchup. Yeah, If you got 30 G's you can go sit in the nosebleeds If you pull out a second mortgage on your home.
Mig:Yeah, you can go watch a World Series game. Hey, you know one thing that, just to switch it up, one thing that's been irritating the hell out of me is I mean, you're a fan of it. All this AI bullshit, yeah, so the rabbit holes that I go on YouTube like there's so many fake accounts that use that stupid bullshit.
Lano:That's why all the music videos I don't know if they're real or not. That's why all the music videos I don't know if they're real or not.
Mig:One thing that annoys the hell out of me is when there's a short, a YouTube short, and you're talking about something and it involves Tupac.
Rick:The stupid IE shit it says Tupac.
Mig:It annoys the hell out of me.
Lano:All right. When you guys go to the game, where do you guys normally sit? I got the prices up on the screen right now.
Mig:The reserve Reserve level Any particular side.
Lano:Usually blue third base side. What do we?
Mig:got Right around there, yeah 1,400.
Lano:It was like 1,200 and up, all right, 1,300 for one seat. Let's just say three Gs for two seats.
Mig:Two seats yeah, that's still a pretty good chunk of change. Do they just sell the first game?
Rick:Can you buy a head?
Mig:No, I heard it sold out in less than an hour.
Lano:Oh they don't make you buy the whole package In an hour it's sold out.
Mig:No, no, but that's game one. Yeah, this is game one. This is, I'm sure the tickets are going to sell for sure Are games one and two. Oh, okay, you know, because then like game five, if necessary game six if necessary game, seven if necessary. But then I'm sure season ticket holders have their first dibs on buying seats right.
Lano:I don't know how that works.
Mig:I'm not sure. I don't know if playoffs is something different.
Lano:The Raiders never made the playoffs. You guys won't even know.
Mig:The Raiders. They did one year when Derek Carr broke his ankle.
Lano:Oh, when you guys had the tickets in Oakland, yeah, that was. Oakland.
Mig:And we didn't have a home game. We traveled, yeah, indianapolis.
Lano:Yeah, yeah, I just feel like no Texas.
Mig:No, it was Indianapolis. Well, don't you remember you were going to get in that fight with that dude when Carr broke? Indianapolis. Well, don't you remember you were going to get in that fight with that dude when the car broke? Yeah, but the playoff, the wild card game, they played it in Texas. Oh yeah, that was at the sports book. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was going to get into it there.
Lano:Yeah, I'm talking about that's right.
Mig:That's why we didn't know, because if it was at Oakland we would have gone to that game. Oh yeah yeah, yeah. But instead we were in Vegas that weekend because they were on the road. No, no, no. Indianapolis was when Carr was having that MVP season and he busted his ankle or something.
Lano:That's what he said that was.
Mig:they made it to playoffs. Yeah we made the playoffs that year. That's what he's talking about. That's why you guys got all pissed off at me and Eric, because we bet against the Raiders that first game.
Lano:No, but you guys were mad at us because Carl wasn't playing.
Rick:Yeah, the Texans, game.
Mig:And we knew we were going to lose. No, yeah, no, but I was talking about that was the season when he broke his leg against Indianapolis. Was it India or was it the Cowboys? It was Indianapolis, okay.
Rick:It was Indianapolis.
Mig:But I don't know that was a game that he had his MVP season.
Rick:He broke.
Mig:They broke his ankle or his leg, whatever. And then we made the playoffs and yeah, that was.
Lano:But I don't know if the World Series, if it's like, you know, like the Super Bowl, where it's like just becomes like a corporate, like the NFL takes over tickets and like the NFL like distributes tickets to like their sponsors and all that stuff.
Mig:It's all bullshit now, Like privatized. So I don't know if the World Series is like that. That is the reason why I cannot stand sports now because of that right there. And it's I mean, apart from the game that's already changed so much. Yeah, All across the board baseball, football, basketball, everything. The game's changed so much it's already like pissed me off. And then you throw this bullshit on top of it where the seats are outrageous like that.
Lano:It's like the tickets, everything's averaging like 1500. But then you got this greedy guy right here trying to get 20 grand. Who's that? I don't know? Some guy just trying to get 20 grand that's probably a sweet dude.
Rick:You think, oh, is it maybe?
Lano:just sweet fool. I haven't been to the stadium a long time. I don't even know where the suites are at. But yeah, then all the yellows, like you know, five grand and up. I don't know, but if you're looking for tickets we might know a guy looking. G said he might come up with some tickets he might be able to sell or go with him.
Lano:So call the hotline. Where did you hear that dirty rumor? A little birdie told me that I don't know he might be able to come up on some tickets. But we'll see. We'll see. But then if the dodgers lose the first game, then all this, all these prices drop for game two. Yeah right, I'm not gonna drop. I think.
Mig:I think those prices are where they're at because they're playing the Yankees yeah.
Rick:Yeah, no, that's true.
Mig:If they have been playing those prices are not dropping yeah, because if they have been playing Cleveland or something, they would probably be half that, maybe not even that. They'll still be just a little bit cheaper, cheaper.
Lano:Well, it's east versus west so we already knocked out one, new york team time to do the other one.
Mig:That'd be kind of cool, like we knocked out new york back to back yeah, hey, um, you guys realize, um, I don't know what I was watching on the youtube rabbit hole. You guys realize that don king is 92 years old.
Lano:I haven't seen him lately he's still alive.
Mig:And he's still alive. Oh, it was, I was watching. I was watching. Uh, uh, it was uh trump, what podcast he was doing but is he?
Lano:is he still promoting, or I'm promoting, no more what? No, I don't, I mean, I don't I know like um yeah, when he when Trump said he's like oh, they're talking about Don King.
Rick:That's what I was talking about the boxing.
Mig:He's like oh, you know, he's still alive, 92 years old. I'm like damn, I go you just lose track of like these. That's right, don King's still alive. He's 92 years old. He doesn't look too bad too. Look at it, he's up there. It's funny because the other day I was watching Rocky V and you know, the other one character on there is supposed to be the Don King character oh right right right. So ridiculous dude, the way the over yeah, the over-acting, over-exaggerating and shit. Yeah, I was like I tripped out man.
Lano:Didn't Mark send something about Rocky 5? He said something on Instagram.
Mig:We got no calls this week, no, but he loves us 92 years old. And then that made me go like hey, well, you know what? How old is George Foreman? Because George Foreman doesn't age.
Lano:Like he made his comeback. He's probably up there too Well he was over like 50, right when he made his comeback yeah.
Mig:I was going to say he's probably up there in the 80s, Because when he made his comeback, when he won the title against I think against Michael Moore. He was like 40-something or like almost 50. Yeah, he was 50. Yeah, and, and he still had that damn baby face, that golden smile man. I was like then I went to go check. I was like, how old is damn George Foreman? Then I saw he was 75. I was like, yeah, dude.
Lano:Now, speaking about age, you guys watch football on Sundays still, or no? Because I haven't seen a single game.
Mig:I watch the Red Zone. You guys watch like the-. I watch how much shit my fucking fantasy team's doing.
Lano:You guys watch like the pregame show, like Fox or nothing like that. Sometimes I cross it Because I just read that I guess Terry Bradshaw they're saying he's looking really old and like he's been messing up a lot.
Mig:Oh yeah, yeah, that dude's got to go already.
Lano:That's what they were saying, Like they're asking him like he needs to retire yeah, like the and you got to retire or give it up, because he just keeps messing up on whatever he has to do. They say he's making a lot of mistakes and stuff. I guess it's wearing thin you know the whole lovable Because he was old when they started with the Fox, so now he must be. I don't know.
Mig:Yeah, he's got to go already. The lovable dumb guy is the novelty of that's wearing off.
Rick:He's 76.
Mig:He's 76? 76, yeah, how about Al Michaels? How?
Lano:old is Al Michaels.
Mig:Al Michaels, there's someone that doesn't age, dude. He doesn't age and he's sharp still, man Sharp dude, 79 older Damn, look at that. And he's sounds sharp dude, 79 older, damn, look at that.
Lano:And he's still doing games. Wow, yeah, he's still doing it, hell yeah.

Lano:I mean, we all grew up With all these guys.
Mig:Gymnasts.
Lano:Doing the sports. I mean, bob Costas Would be every Olympics, but then I guess he got in trouble and then no more. But Like I'm still. Like Bob Costas would be every Olympics, but then I guess he got in trouble and no more, I'm still getting used to Mike Tirico. Tirico's good, I mean he's good, he's been a long time, but to me he still seems like the new guy, even though he's been there for years.
Mig:All I can't stand is Collinsworth dude. That piece of shit. That guy, yeah, it's like he should be the Hawk to a chick, the way he announces for some of these dudes, man.

Rick:Yeah.

Speaker 4:That was funny. The baby one, that was funny.
Mig:Dude.
Lano:That's why I had to say that I started sharing that one Even my wife was laughing, that was funny man.
Mig:And on that note, that Diddy note, I want to let everybody know that yours truly won the costume contest at Rick's Big Bash the best overall costume party.
Lano:Well, you told me you got a good one. I will post it. I will post it.
Mig:We had four awards. It was scariest, it was the funniest, best couple and then overall best costume. Which I was going to protest. But then I asked, vanessa, if you guys excluded yourselves?
Rick:Oh yeah we weren't.
Lano:Yeah, I was going to say that's bullshit, dude. From voting, or your costumes? No, they're from being in the contest.
Mig:Me and Vanessa were Adam and Barbara from Beetlejuice.
Lano:The couple of the ghosts.
Mig:Yeah, they turned into ghosts, Like when they mess up their faces and everything. That's who we were. That was pretty good man. I don't know why I walked in. I was like yeah, nice, it was good because you know Beetlejuice everyone is always like everyone is either Beetlejuice or Lydia.
Rick:Yeah.
Mig:That's what it always is. So, once we said that like oh man, that's the only thing is like you got to wear a mask the whole night.
Rick:Yeah.
Lano:We couldn't do it. We couldn't do it, man.
Mig:Little figurines, and that's the only thing I had bought these string of lights with. They had eyeballs on it and I was going to take the eyeballs so I could drill them out to put them on my fingers but, I just I didn't have time, so I was like I missed out on having the eyeballs on my fingers.
Lano:All right, so go down the list. So who won the couple? What was it?
Mig:Well, you know what? I didn't even know. They were counting the votes and then Vanessa was already announcing the winners. I barely made it for yours, like they didn't call me. The best couple was. Woody and Bo Peep From.
Lano:Toy.
Mig:Story, yeah, from Toy Story. Who was dressed up like that? Who were they? I don't even know, I think it might have been Trevor's friends.
Rick:Okay, because they look pretty young.
Mig:I don't remember seeing Woody. It wasn't a very good one, that's all I'll say. They got best couple.
Rick:And the chick was wearing a pink dress, were they the?
Mig:only couple coordinated Bar. That's all I'll say. They got best couple and the chick was wearing a pink dress?
Lano:Were they the only?
Mig:couple coordinating, barney and Angie, should have won it. They were like Viking kings. They were good, yeah, but the scariest was Shane. Oh yeah, shane was you know and the devil. He deserved it because I had a couple people tell me that he would just be sitting there and people thought he was a prop and he would like move and scare them. So he deserved it. He got that scariest.
Lano:Do you got pictures, rick, or no? No, I didn't even have my phone, so it was all makeup or like no he had a mask on.
Mig:Yeah, he had a mask A goat mask? Yeah, and he had a mask on A mask, yeah, he had a mask, a goat mask, yeah. And then he had his red cape with all the devil symbols on it.
Lano:Oh, that's scary when they start doing that goat stuff.
Mig:That's scary and he said that his mask came with like a voice box. Oh, shit.
Lano:Oh, to change it, alter his voice so he can have it here.
Mig:Yeah, you can hear clear. But he says he didn't use it because it sounded too muffled, so he just went away with it. He says, I'll just communicate by hand signaling or just, you know the silence. So then the funniest was that dude dressed up like a dinosaur. Oh, pete, that was Vanessa's friend's boyfriend. Oh, okay, yeah, he was. Yeah, so he was cool, he's boyfriend.
Lano:Oh, okay, yeah, he was.
Mig:Yeah, so he was cool because he he was big as T-Rex, just walking.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he had a big inflatable.
Rick:T-Rex on. Yeah, he was all in there, yeah.
Mig:But he had to keep taking it on and off. Yeah.
Lano:Because it was getting hot. That's why my oldest daughter.
Mig:She's always like it's plugged in, inflating all the time. Oh yeah, because Vanessa's mom was like dressed like a clown. Yeah, kind of like a jester.
Lano:Uh-huh, but she like it was an inflatable thing.
Mig:So like she was like all round and everything. She kind of looked like Violet from.
Lano:Willy Wonka, willy Wonka, willy Wonka, yeah. Oh yeah, like that round, you know all inflated Because they're not like airtight, like it's just like a cinch. And then the fans are always blowing yeah, yeah.
Mig:Her costume was good. It was cool because it was going around all like dancing all over the place, yeah, and then I won best overall and then Miggy won best overall, so you Overall, you got to describe your. Yeah, I mean I'm going to post it. I didn't get very good pictures showing the props, but you'll be able to see me it's pretty much. Diddy related with this whole scandal, so the idea was Originally.
Rick:To be.
Mig:An escaped Victim, like a victim that got away. So I had ordered Stuff online Handcuffs that I was going to have broken and it came With a blindfold and a ball gag that I was going to like have broken. And it came like with a blindfold and like a ball gag and everything. So I was like going to be wearing all that stuff and like where I'm starting. This is that it escaped the freak off. But none of that stuff came in Like it was supposed to be in. I ordered it with plenty of time.
Rick:And.
Mig:I got an email saying it wasn't going to get here until the 25th and it got delayed, so I was like nah, just cancel it Amazon's been messing up like that dude.
Mig:So then I just put, nah, just cancel it, cancel the order. It's like I don't want it. Yeah. So I had to rethink my whole idea and then I started thinking I'm like, oh, you know what it's like? I seen those memes On Instagram.
Mig:Memes on Instagram where the dudes are rubbing baby oil in the bathroom and Diddy pops up over their shoulder. You say Diddy, three times or whatever, and he pops up like La Llorona and shit. So I'm like, dude, what if I find somehow to put a picture of him over my shoulder and I carry a big bottle of baby oil? So I'm like, yeah, dude, dude, that'll work. So then, so I'm online, I'm trying to figure out how to do the whole picture thing and I'm like, oh, let me find a poster and then we do posters of him, yeah. So yeah, I'm looking at posters and like, ah, you don't know. And then, like this one was like kind of like a portrait or whatever you know. So I'm seeing the measurements because I want it to be like more or less proportional, you know, I don't want it to be like huge or I don't want it to be like too small or whatever you know.
Mig:So I found this one. You know, I got it, got it home, cut it off, put it on the cardboard, and then I got the idea. I'm like, oh, you know what it's like. I actually cut the cardboard out and put a little thought bubble next to them so that way I could put a white paper and put down something. So what I wrote down was was it welcome to the white party?
