What makes a true athlete in today's sports landscape? The answer threads throughout our latest episode as we return from hiatus to tackle everything from the mesmerizing talent of WNBA sensation Caitlin Clark to the fundamental differences between old-school and modern training regimens.

Caitlin Clark has proven herself more than just hype, selling out arenas nationwide with her Steph Curry-like shooting range that's revolutionizing women's basketball. We break down how her game compares to fellow rookies and why the WNBA showcases more fundamental basketball than what's often seen in today's NBA. This leads us to a fascinating discussion about how training has evolved – or perhaps devolved – in professional sports, with former NBA greats like Kevin Garnett lamenting how today's players aren't conditioning properly, leading to more frequent injuries.

Beyond sports, we dive into two major criminal cases making headlines. The Diddy case continues to develop with complex legal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, though we question whether some witnesses' credibility might be compromised by contradictory evidence. Meanwhile, the Idaho college murders case reaches a turning point as Bryan Kohberger accepts a plea deal despite overwhelming evidence against him, sparking debate about justice and closure for victims' families.

Our conversation takes a personal turn when discussing immigration policies, where we advocate for targeting criminals while showing compassion for hardworking immigrants who've built lives here. We reveal details about a little-known self-deportation program offering financial assistance to those willing to return to their countries and begin the legal immigration process – information that could genuinely help those caught in limbo.

Lano:

I mean it's been. When was our last show?

Mig:

It was a while back, man.

Rick:

Maybe about a month ago. Let me see, wow.

Mig:

What was the holiday before we quit, or I mean before we went on holiday?

Rick:

June 5th, father's Day, so about a month.

Mig:

Right before Father's Day, june 5th, the 4th of July this week, so we survived the LA riots Studio's still intact. Mostly peaceful protests. Please Get it right Peaceful protests.

Rick:

Yeah, I saw a shirt. It was an NBA player. I was watching another podcast and he had a shirt that said visit LA. It's a riot and the font had a little fire on it. I was like that's a cool shirt.

Lano:

You watch any of the WNBA, the Caelan Clark stuff.

Rick:

Just like when the highlights pop up.

Mig:

That chicken ball dude. She's a baller dude. I thought it was all hype and everything, but she's badass. Yeah, she's got she, she puts all those other bras to shame. Dude, um, and and I know them being haters that they are dude. It's all just in their nature of all being haters. I can't.

Lano:

That's why they hate her so much. I can't believe the range that she's got. Dude, I don't know how the range.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Rick:

It's like Steph Curry, like a girl, steph Curry.

Lano:

Yeah, that chick's incredible man, but you know what I haven't seen? I mean, I haven't seen any more of the league, so you don't know.

Rick:

No one plays like that If someone else has handles like that. I don't know, I don't know, like all the stars, big centers, like back to the basket, like around the room.

Mig:

I mean you kind of do know, because If there, was. There would be a big hype and a big Hoopla over her.

Speaker 3:

And there isn't.

Mig:

I.

Speaker 3:

When.

Lano:

I see the highlights.

Mig:

When she plays, when she goes to other arenas, dude, she sells them out.

Lano:

Yeah, I know.

Mig:

Whenever she's not playing in other arenas, they don't sell out. She is the attraction.

Lano:

I look at the highlights when she's in there, cause I think there's been games Lately. She's been hurt and man, the way those girls play, they're passing and they're deeing up and all that Like damn that's. They play some badass basketball man I mean it's good, solid, fundamental.

Rick:

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say fundamental basketball it's, it's, it's it's kind of cool to watch because yeah the proper way.

Lano:

Yeah, it's not no hard. I mean, guess the kind of like it's what college is? I mean it's what?

Mig:

what it old school, I guess what it used to be.

Lano:

Yeah.

Mig:

You know when it first started.

Lano:

Yeah, but it's pretty exciting watching that Fever team Kind of like pre-Jordan, pre-will Chamberlain you know all the high flying.

Mig:

You know because you can't deny it's exciting, dude watching them fly through the air and everything you know, because once Jordan came on the scene, dude and that guy you've seen that guy fly through the air the way he did, man, it was unbelievable.

Lano:

But as far as WNBA, I'm on that bandwagon. I like that chick Sophie Cunningham who's that? I really like that. I'm on that bandwagon.

Rick:

That. I like that chick, sophie Cunningham. Who's that? I really like that. Oh, that one like her Bodyguard, like her.

Lano:

Yeah everyone's saying that you know what Stupid Like all these little YouTube shorts, like there's so much AI bullshit out there now Like I can't stand it no more. Man Like you, click on a little short. And it's some stupid. Oh, it'll say, you know why? Sophie Cunningham wears a faded blue bandana, headband or whatever. It's sad. And then they do some stupid bullshit story, you know.

Rick:

Where they get to the very last line.

Lano:

Yeah, it's stupid. It's not even like true.

Rick:

Yeah, it's just like an opinion or a theory or something like that.

Lano:

Yeah, I think she's sexy man. Sophie Cunningham, Well, I mean, she's kind of like real fashionable, but I guess she's got it on the Fever team. She's like Indiana Fever. Yeah, she'll dress like kind of bummy or big baggy clothes, like when she was on that. I guess she was on that other team, the Suns, before. She was more Connecticut Sun I think she was more dressing like provocative, but now I guess she toned it back down. But yeah, she was a damn kicker on the football team in high school. She played high school football.

Mig:

No shit.

Lano:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Oh.

Rick:

So she's an athlete then.

Lano:

Yeah, I think she also played volleyball. I think she's six.

Mig:

She's a lobo.

Rick:

Six foot. So there's a podcast I was listening to and it's like former NBA guys like Gilbert Arenas. I don't know if you guys listen to that. Clips of those so um. He was saying that today's basketball is like um, it's getting ruined by like the, the club teams, because like we're not the club but the um, everybody like if, if they're, if their kid is talented, everybody hires like a private coach or personal coach. Oh, and the coaches are just teaching like One on one moves, cause they're just like Coaching that, that kid individually.

Mig:

Oh, they're teaching these One on one moves. They're not teaching teams, so they're. It's not like.

Rick:

Yeah, they're not like Teaching passes or like five on five. It's just like you know the first quick step and then the step back.

Mig:

They're just like Teaching all the time so that now all the players just have the same moves. Because, honestly, that's where that's why, in the beginning I wasn't a fan of kobe, because how kobe never went through the ranks of college and I thought he was just a hot dog out there, like never really played like fundamental basketball. But you know I was wrong. He completely proved me wrong on that. But On that same coin he opened up the floodgates For all these, I guess, flashing the pans, you know, with talent to come through, get big contracts come up and once they start playing with actual men that know how to play the game you know, and get manhandled, you know, and they get turned into nothing. And that's why I think the league got watered down, because none of them want to learn fundamentals, none of them want to learn defense, you know, they all just want to be the next LeBron.

Mig:

They all want the next big contract. You know they all want to be the next big name.

Rick:

It's all one-on-one. They all come in with their own coach. You know they all want to be the next big name. It's all one-on-one. They all come in with their own coach.

Lano:

Yeah, it is one-on-one, but I saw a video of Kevin Garnett and I guess it was one of those podcasts and he was talking about how players are getting injured.

Rick:

So easily today. You saw it yeah.

Lano:

Because, like the blown Achilles by the homeboy from the Pacers in game seven, what was his Halliburton or Tyrese Halliburton? So they're talking about these players of today. They think that they're putting in the work, or sufficient work, but they're not really putting in work, like, not compared to the way the old schoolers did before, like their practice or like walkthrough, yeah, their walkthrough. They're not really balling.

Lano:

Garnier was talking about, you know, balling up in the summer league or in the summer, you know, 505, talking about how much workout they would put in. And these guys, they think that they're doing enough workout or that their workout is a workout that's going to get them like in tip top shape, but it's not. That's not the case, because Garnett was even saying like, even after a long practice. It's like he's talking about doing calf raisers and strengthening your calves and all that.

Mig:

You know that's the killer instinct that Colby had, because colby yeah, but that's. That was just like around the like regular back, that was it was like.

Lano:

It was like back back then, when you were talking about how weak well, you know how weak was. Totally different from that's what?

Mig:

that's what I'm saying, you know. It's like that's what separated colby being different, coming straight out of high school and going straight into the NBA, and that's why he became one of the greatest. And that's why I say now the league is watered down and the talent is watered down because these kids go in thinking they're the greatest thing ever and Kobe.

Lano:

I think that dude, he was more obsessed than damn MJ, I think let's like eat like perfection, you know, kind of like stories of of Kobe.

Mig:

Yeah. The mind games that he did on players and the thing is getting to your point of Kevin Garnett and putting him in the work.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Mig:

I think those are habits that are put in you in college, college coaches yeah, coming up, put that in you, yeah and if they would have not lifted that requirement of one year? You know college and you can be drafted. It's, it's it's crazy.

Lano:

It's crazy because it seems like you go back to the fundamentals, the basics, like it just seems like that style you can really dominate today because everyone's so individual, they're like they just, you know it's an individual play. Yeah, so if a team really wanted a ball out, like they could just have get a bunch of players that are fundamentally, you know, good and just have a real team, you know, build a real team and just ball it up through the whole league, you know. But it also depends if the damn refs are crooked.

Rick:

Well, Ricky, the podcast you saw, like I saw it in Kevin Garnetta, and it was Paul Pierce, right? Oh yeah, Paul Pierce. They said that practice was harder than the games.

Lano:

They were more tired.

Rick:

But then by the time the game came around, it was easy.

Lano:

They're going to play 30 minutes.

Rick:

They're playing basketball all year round. Five on five, not just like half speed.

Lano:

I mean, that's kind of like the same thing that's happening in football. The practice is not. They're babying these players so much and then that's they get hurt so easy.

Mig:

So they're saying you're having practice every other day, you're going half speed, and then they expect you to go like 100% full speed and you're going to blow your leg out or whatever I mean the unfortunate thing is that sports has become too much of a business, and these guys care more about the business side of it than anything, than the actual sport. That's what it's come down to, you know, and it's come down to everything. You know, as fans, you know you can't really invest yourself into it as much as you could before.

Lano:

That's why I appreciate this Fever team and watching their highlights, I always forget to look up their games, because I would actually want to see a game and I think.

Rick:

Like in person or just on TV? No, just on TV.

Lano:

But yeah, because sports right now is not really.

Rick:

A few weeks ago they had like, um, it was another podcast and um they had some guy.

Rick:

He used to be a laker and he was, um he played for like byron scott and he was saying that, like byron used to make him like, run, run, run all the time, run all the time. And like, and they cried, he there was. He went to talk to the coach because he got mad in practice because they're running let's say, in April, that's towards the end of the season and they're like why are we running? We're not in shape now, we're never going to be in shape for the playoffs. So then he was all pissed off. He walked off the court.

Rick:

So then Byron called him to his office after practice and he said what's going on? And he's like why are you having us running all the time? Like you know the same preseason, we're in shape. Why are you making us run? And then he's like well, you know what? Like I grew up in the pat riley era. This is all I know. Pat riley used to make us run all the time and this is like I grew up under him. So this is how I coach. This is the only way I know how to coach is make like, make you guys run all the time. But um, I mean, riley, you know they would go to Showtime, you know they would win championships. So like Byron teaches the same thing. And now these guys are complaining. So then after, like they told him that, like he understood where he was coming from.

Lano:

I was going to say, like it pisses me off that, all right, you're questioning a coach, while that's his coaching style.

Rick:

Put up with it. You gotta do whatever you want to do.

Lano:

Stop, he's the boss, yeah, stop fucking crying and and do the work, stop bitching and do what's asked of you, see, but that's but. And then also you also, I mean, if you get a coach that's not really like, doesn't know shit, I mean, but that's kind of hard.

Mig:

But the problem? The problem is that you know a lot of these kids when they're, when they're coming up, you know they're constantly having their asses kissed and they're never said no to you know, and they're always made to seem that they're better than they actually are. So when they actually do run into some resistance, then they start throwing their little tantrums and everything.

Lano:

We gotta see, we gotta talk to See how the kids Well, I mean, it's probably always been the same Depends on parents, on how how much they baby their kids, how much parents like push their kids, cause you know, there's so many different type of parenting.

Mig:

Yeah.

Lano:

When they're teaching their kids In little league or whatever you know.

Mig:

That all comes down To the individual.

Lano:

How it is. Yeah, like how are parents today Like? How are yeah. Are they still Like crazy? Like, are dads still Crazy fanatics that are pushing their kid Because they want them to?

Mig:

I'm sure there are.

Rick:

Is there some that like oh, don't yell at my baby, you know don't push them or whatever you know, because there's like um the whole I know, because like you guys, um, I mean you don't have kids yet, but like you'll let the coach coach them or you're gonna be like in the coaches, like don't need to do it this way or would you be involved? Yeah that's why I feel too.

Lano:

You could. You could teach them in some areas. Yeah, like he's, he's lagging or something. You could yell at him to you know, bust ass, or something but you're not gonna let the coach be abusive either, you know?

Mig:

no, no, no yeah, so, yeah.

Lano:

So coach starts being vulgar with your kid Like that's when you gotta say Like hey, no, no. But you think, Because of like Remember like Bobby Knight.

Rick:

He was like a Yeller and screamer.

Lano:

No, like you think he was choking Players.

Mig:

Yeah, he was choking players. That's a little, that's a little much.

Rick:

But you think because of that, then everybody like started getting soft they're already older.

Mig:

Technically there were men already yeah that he was coaching technically.

Lano:

Yeah but, yeah no, you're not fighting, you're not choking yeah, that's, that's that dude you guys know um juju watkins had a problem juju watkins.

Rick:

So she. So she was the top high school player. She's from, I think it's like Chathworth, it's like a private school in Chathworth, but she went to USC and she's like the number one player In what Basketball.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Rick:

So she's really good at USC. She's going to be a number one pick, like in a few years, but like last year, her sophomore year in the tournament she blew out her knee in the game. Oh, I did, I did hear that If you're watching WNBA, check out some USC games when she plays, because she's going to be a number one pick. She's scoring like 25 and up a game or 23 points.

Lano:

I hear there's like a couple players that are coming up that their games are elevating, kind of like Kaitlyn Clark. So if they start telling it that comes in and you know they can elevate team play, yeah it's, it's gonna be, it's gonna be watchable. They won't be talking so much crap about that so she's from la she goes. Oh yeah, she didn't want to, she didn't want no help from um caitlin clark because she didn't want no help from Kaylin Clark, because she didn't want to be overshadowed by Clark right.

Rick:

She wants to do it on her own. That's why she went to USC, because USC is not normally a powerhouse, but she wanted to carry the team and she's from LA, yeah because I think Kaylin Clark offered to help her out in some things.

Lano:

But I think she looks up to Kaylin Clark.

Mig:

Oh, that's right, they made it to the Sweet 16, but they didn't advance anymore because she got hurt, right? Yeah, she blurted me.

Lano:

But she's not getting help from Kaylin Clark because she wants to work out, she wants to bust it out on her own, but she's a baller.

Rick:

I want to go see a USC girls' basketball game. It's like $10. We should go check it out or whatever. Yeah, I mean, I don't even think WNBA is that expensive.

Lano:

Yeah, juju Watkins All right, so she's the top prospect in the next draft.

Rick:

Well, she blew out her knee, so I think she'll play one more year.

Mig:

She got handed yeah.

Rick:

Yeah, she's a straight-up baller. Yeah, all right.

Mig:

I I hope she's good dude, because you know how that whole beef With uh Kaitlyn Clark and that Angel Reese Angel. Reese is booty Dude. She sucks dude. I see highlights of her doing like what the hell is this broad doing Professionally?

Lano:

She can't even make a layup. They make fun of her about Her being like a baby giraffe. Take it To the hoop. They make fun of her about her being like a baby giraffe.

Rick:

Take it to the hoop, yeah, so I'm just showing the guys like some highlights, but like yeah, yeah, yeah, the people started making fun of her.

Lano:

They started making fun of her, calling her her Me Bounce, me Bounce, because she gets all her rebounds. She always rack up rebounds because she's always getting her own missed shots.

Mig:

And she still doesn't make them.

Rick:

Yeah, she just happens to be the tallest, and then she'll get three misses and grab her three rebounds.

Mig:

It's funny. I seen a meme the other day where they said that she was coming out with her own shoe. They called it the brick or something, because it looks like nothing but bricks.

Rick:

Well, I saw the.

Mig:

The face of it, it had like that From Ice Age, one of those animals, or the weird one with the big eyes.

Lano:

Oh yeah.

Rick:

Looks like a weasel kind of After the acorn.

Mig:

Yeah, after the acorn oh yeah something that shit was funny. They could put it right next to right next to her. I'm like she does look like that damn thing, dude.

Rick:

Yeah, she balls bro oh, that's a nice shot. Well, netflix has like a special, like a shack, like documentary or special where um, like he's, he's bringing back reba.

Rick:

That's a nice jump shot dude, so he bought he bought Reebok him and Allen Iverson oh, hell, yeah, look at. So they're trying to bring back Reebok. And then he went to LSU and Angel Reese went to LSU. So he like he signed Angel Reese, but he's trying to bring back Reebok and bring it back to. Yeah, I was kind of following her like all season, like I wasn't watching the games but watching the highlights After. But yeah, she's a baller.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Rick:

And she went to the same school where Bronny went, sierra Canyon, which is, I think it's like Chathwards or something.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm just wondering what sports?

Rick:

My daughters are gonna play.

Lano:

So let's get into the juicy stuff that's happening this week. Man, Do you guys know what's going on? America's birthday. Yeah, that's a big one that's a big one on Friday. Okay, so when this comes out, america's birthday is tomorrow and we will be popping fireworks.

Mig:

I feel like I should know, but once you say it I'm going to feel stupid. Okay, so right now it's.

Lano:

Tuesday Today's Tuesday and some things dropped today.

Speaker 3:

NBA Free Tuesday.

Lano:

Yesterday.

Mig:

Gas prices going up Yesterday.

Lano:

No, it's just stories that are going on the big beautiful bill. The big beautiful bill is going to be signed. No, but so bill the big beautiful bill is gonna be signed. No, but um. So there's been a verdict that's gonna be released already. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah with the pd, yeah but that he's already, he's already, they already have the verdict out on like four accounts of the sex trafficking stuff, but what the juries are split on are the racketeering.

Mig:

So that's the battling. So that's going to be coming out. The trafficking is enough.

Lano:

But I mean, I think they really want to get him for racketeering Because that'll put him away. So that's probably going to come out, maybe tomorrow, thursday, maybe by the time this comes out, you know, yeah, yeah.

Mig:

I was listening to what's going on To Officer Tatum. Earlier he broke it, sorry, yeah, and he was saying that, yeah, it was breaking news and that they're going to get him on the trafficking, but that the racketeering was going to be kind of tough.

Lano:

I'm on the traffic unit but the racketeering one's going to be kind of tough. We had me and Vanessa had a little passionate discussion about that and I went there. But it's just that, like I tell her, like she's on the board, like these people that participate in all these freak-offs like they wanted to be there, yeah, these people that participated in all these freak-offs like they wanted to be there. It's like, and I told her like yeah, like I thought that when they went after Diddy they're gonna expose everybody.

Lano:

We can't say because this is on YouTube now, because YouTube, yeah, they censor we can't say.

Rick:

We can't say Because this is on YouTube now, because YouTube.

Lano:

Yeah, they, they Censor.

Rick:

Right, but is there like? But I thought, all that, all the.

Lano:

The PDF file.

Rick:

Genetic was going on.

Lano:

I thought that was going to get exposed, but it wasn't. It was just Freak offs with, you know, celebrities or whatever.

Rick:

But that's not what they're getting them for, but they want to get you know celebrities or whatever, whatever.

Lano:

But that's not what they're getting them for. But they want to get the racketeering. Racketeering means what? But like an organized um, um was it like laundering, money laundering or something, something like that, yeah, but and then to like um, paying people for, for prostitution Right and getting these people, they're like getting people from other states, so they're crossing state lines, which is illegal, which would be considered sex trafficking, and that's what made Vanessa going back and forth.

Lano:

It's like who cares? She was just saying like if someone's going to come over and they want to sleep with someone or whatever, that should be their right. Whatever I'm like, I know I go, but it's the law. You can't cross lines. You can't hire prostitution and bring someone in from New York to come to California and you know pay for services like that, and so that's how they're trying to get you. You know they're trying to get them on all that.

Lano:

I guess that's part of the racketeering too, aside from the sex trafficking stuff. So they're they're they're coming down on on all these people. And I was thinking like fbi, what's that? What's that record they got that when they indict someone, they got like 90% something, rate, that winning percentage or whatever it is. But it's like when this case is going on and I'm hearing these stories, these victims, supposedly victims, like Diddy's lawyers, they got the backup of these text messages where they're like they're saying that they that they enjoyed the freak offs last night, like when it was happening, right, they have a log of People saying yeah, it's like oh, baby, I had a great time last night.

Lano:

I never felt that, whatever these people that are coming in as part of witnesses for the prosecution, they're coming in acting like victims but then they pull up the defense pulls up um messages of them, like wanting to be there and then still being there. They're, they. They're claiming all this draw, all this trauma, but they show text messages and some voicemails that they're they're willingly enjoying the freak house, still going back for more and more. Just like dude, like what, like like it. All the updates that I've gotten from the, from the case. It seems it favors diddy, because to me it just seems everybody wanted to be there. That's their thing, you know. That's their choice. They want to be part of the freak house. That's their kinky stuff or whatever. So it's like the, the, the it's not strong to to nail diddy, but I guess the racketeering is this crossing the state lines, prostitution, I guess that's what they're trying to get them, but is it like the underage?

Lano:

stuff right or well that's. I thought that stuff was gonna come and come to light, like all the underage stuff, but none of that has even came up right, none of the beaver stuff definition of racketeering generally refers to the act of engaging in a pattern of illegal activities, often for profit and frequently associated with that organized crime.

Mig:

It often involves involves coercion, fraud, extortion or other illegal schemes carried out repeatedly or consistently to generate income. So how, if he was Like the people that buy a ticket for his party? How was?

Lano:

he doing? How was he generating income?

Mig:

Was he charging for these parties? I mean taking them over there.

Lano:

No, he's not making money on it. He's paying them for his freak off, for his sex, whatever you call it desires or whatever. He's throwing these parties. He has all this drug and the baby oil and all that stuff, but people want to be there, but how is he making money off of that? I haven't seen anything that shows that he's making money like that. That's right. So it's kind of like to me. I've seen like it's just a weak prosecution. Yeah, and the FBI. Supposedly they got like a 90-something percent winning percentage when they indict someone.

Lano:

And just to me it doesn't seem strong enough, like you want all this juicy stuff.

Rick:

and then I mean, yeah, parking tickets where?

Mig:

from the people that I listen to in the in the mornings. I mean I hear a lot of lawyers speaking everything.

Lano:

They say that the prosecution has a really strong case for a racketeering to get them for them, but not for the stuff we're talking about not the, the racketeering, the other stuff.

Lano:

I will say this the one thing that these if I was on the jury and I was seeing all this right. So they're trying to get everybody, like they're showing them all these the freak off videos and trying to get them, you know, but the defense is always reminding them. Look, these people, look at the messages. They wanted to be there. They were even arranging their own little setups with the, with the, with the, the prostitution, the male guys that were coming over to have the freak offs or whatever. Even they were on on the side from from diddy. They were setting up their own little meetings and having their own little freak off on the side and all this stuff going on. So they were willingly wanting to participate in that.

Lano:

So, I don't see how that's strong for the prosecution.

Rick:

I mean, I guess, because they're getting off the street and they're bringing them away, then it's okay.

Lano:

What would piss me off if I was in the jury and the defense Diddy's lawyers. He was trying to tell the jury he's like no, diddy didn't pay these people to come to prostitute, he was just paying them for their time. Like that's what he was saying.

Rick:

That was the angle he was using.

Lano:

He didn't pay for the sex. He was just paying them to come and hang out for their time yeah so if you're gonna throw that bullshit at me, yeah I'm gonna think, I'm gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna take it like you're thinking that I'm stupid. Yeah, I'm stupid enough to fall for that and I will say no, now he's guilty because you threw that stupid, oh that was psychology bullshit trying to make it seem like, oh, he was paying for their time, like no, I know what he's paying for, I know what he's, what they're there for, it's like.

Lano:

So, if you're gonna try to dumb it down, like try to make me look like a dummy and throw a stupid excuse, like nah and that would make me flip and be like nice good to you for trying to insult my intelligence, like nah.

Rick:

I don't, I mean, what he did is nothing from Like what Epstein was doing. Right the same thing.

Lano:

Oh boy wow, wow.

Mig:

Epstein was doing everything but like with underage yeah, with minors, dude.

Rick:

Isn't Puffy the same thing, or no?

Lano:

Wow that none of that came out. I don't know, none of that came out, but that's what I was thinking, that something stuff was gonna come out Like a list or whatever.

Lano:

But nothing came out like that and that's what I was Like. I don't care about these, these people, these celebrities or these adults that willingly wanted to be there, like if you got, if you were participating, you went, you knew there was a freak off and you were doing these drugs and you were doing all this. Don't come acting like a victim. Because you wanted, you wanted that, that life, you wanted to be part of it. So I, I, I'm, I don't, I don't, I mean, I don't show pity on them, whatever but because but I was waiting for the as his cases were going on.

Lano:

I was waiting for this stuff, for like the underage stuff to come out and it never came out I mean, I'm with you, right there with the victims and everything.

Mig:

But like always, you know, they come out saying afterwards that the only reason they went along with it was because they were afraid at the time, you know, and they had to because the messages for this, those messages for that, those messages say otherwise.

Lano:

Talking about I love, I love you, diddy, and this, and that I can't wait for our next rendezvous, and all this. The messages say otherwise.

Rick:

Those messages were from guests or from the workers, no, from the victims.

Lano:

A lot of them were for the victims. Yeah, they were like I don't know. It's just it's not adding up, but we'll see. I mean, regardless, we're going to find out. Maybe by the time this comes out, we're already going to know the deal. I don't know. So All I know, okay, what?

Mig:

would you. Let's say right now All I know is that it makes for some funny ass memes on the internet, hey.

Rick:

And some good Halloween costumes.

Mig:

When Bigfoot comes out, all covered in baby oil. Talking about escaping from a ditty party.

Lano:

Those don't even look like Bigfoots, man, those are just gorillas. Dude, I sent you that one with the gorilla that he worked on the Ford and you sent it to me.

Mig:

I sent it to you.

Lano:

The one he worked on, the.

Mig:

Ford, that shit was funny, dude.

Lano:

That was. That was good Dude, that was classic.

Mig:

That was solid, that one man.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that one.

Mig:

That one hit home.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Mig:

That one, that one was solid.

Rick:

My phone just started updating All the text messages, so I don't know I'm behind.

Mig:

Yeah, you'll see that one dude.

Lano:

Yeah, but those those crack me up, cheap ass iPhone.

Mig:

Rick likes the AI ones with all the babies doing movie scenes.

Lano:

But you know what they're getting out of control because there's some like especially the Theo Vaughn and the Joe Rogan.

Mig:

Yeah.

Lano:

There's a specific one that I like that they use the baby, the baby that looks exactly like Theo Vaughn, and now people are, are, are all doing it yeah, you're doing different, different babies or cartoons, making them real, or yeah, it's getting saturated now so anyway, what was your question?

Lano:

oh, um, the second one. Oh no, no, before before. He wants the second one. Um, all right, so this is the three, three jury okay, yeah panel right here. So we're the three juries on the ditty case. From what you guys know, um, what do you guys? Uh, what's your just?

Mig:

from like what I know of right now uh-huh, what's your verdict?

Rick:

guilty no what you?

Lano:

you lano, you're guilty. Yeah, I mean, I haven't followed it, but I haven't seen anything. What's your verdict? Guilty, no, you Lano, you're guilty.

Rick:

Yeah, I mean I haven't followed it, but I haven't seen anything, but I'm just in my head he's guilty.

Lano:

So you just want him locked up because he killed Tupac right East Coast, west Coast.

Rick:

I've hated him since I was a kid.

Lano:

I tried to tell Vanessa too. He's responsible for Tupac dying, biggie dying. He tried to tell Vanessa too. He's responsible for Tupac dying, Biggie dying. He tried to take out. I'll be sure he took out Heavy D. What, yeah, yeah.

Mig:

It was, I'll be sure.

Lano:

Heavy D His ex-wife Kim Porter. It was another dude and Diddy. They were part of that big, that record label.

Mig:

If he took out the big time, the overweight lover, then fuck that puto. He's gotta go. He's done, done.

Lano:

Done, I'll be sure, was the only one that survived Dunzo, and he was almost Taken out.

Mig:

Dead, dead yeah. Epstein, his ass, yep. So Alano Guilty, you Guilty Dead Dead yeah.

Lano:

Epstein his ass Yep, so Lano guilty you.

Mig:

Guilty.

Rick:

Dude, I'm kinda I'm trying to think of what Heavy D looked like. I can't imagine I keep popping up Sinbad Light skin, yeah, kind of yeah, kind of like Sinbad, with always sunglasses on.

Lano:

Heavy D With kinda like a faded, kind of like a flat top.

Mig:

Kind of blonde fade, high top fade, kind of Not that high. But Mm-hmm. Goatee.

Lano:

I would say I would, I would say guilty Just because of that lawyer thing.

Rick:

Oh yeah, trying to like insult you.

Lano:

Yeah, he's trying to insult my intelligence. So I would say, nah, he's guilty. Oh, yeah, trying to insult you. Yeah, he's trying to insult my intelligence.

Rick:

So I would say nah, he's guilty.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, heavy D.

Rick:

And so maybe he said guilty. I mean, I got one guilty, you two. Two guilties, no, three guilties, and that's the thing. It's not the majority. Every single one has to say it. Huh, look up heavy D.

Mig:

Yeah, it's got to be everybody, because if there's even one person, Heavy D and P Diddy theory or something, if there's even one person that doesn't agree, it could end up in a hung jury and the case could be thrown out.

Lano:

Heavy D. What does it say there?

Rick:

It said, heavy D played a crucial role in launching Pd this career for uptown records yeah, uptown records, that's what it was they were also linked to tragic events deadly stampede at a charity basketball game oh, I remember I was sad about that.

Lano:

One of his dancers died because he thought they were doing this heavy d's death wasn't tragic.

Rick:

It was planned. See a video he did.

Lano:

He took him out. What's what it say right there, we'll go down. It says what is pdd?

Rick:

oh, oh, he's 50 cents. I know 50 cents, hates him um record labels.

Lano:

Mark yeah, look at um down, down, down down. Sean diddy combs record labels mark bimer he took them all out.

Mig:

He took them all out, man he's a piece of crap yeah yeah, yeah, heavy d was good um all right, so what's your second part of the next?

Lano:

one was right there, he just showed it. There was a A plea deal On the. I don't know if you guys have been following the. Let's see. I'm still looking up the Heavy D.

Mig:

Heavy D Wasn't that mystery in the sky thing, I'm still looking up the Heavy D, heavy D.

Rick:

Wasn't that Mystery in the Sky thing I want to show you guys that and see what you guys think of it.

Lano:

No, the plea deal with. I've been following this case since it happened. Brian Kohlberger, the Idaho 4 students that got killed. Idaho 4. The college students that got killed by the dude.

Mig:

Is that the dude that went in when they were sleeping or something and stabbed them all Like some beach house or something like that it was like a three-story like a basement, middle floor and a third floor or whatever. He went in there. Nobody heard or seen anything, anything, and they just found the student's dead. But he was one of the friends, right?

Lano:

Yeah, well, there was two surviving roommates that were on the bottom floor.

Mig:

Yeah.

Lano:

So two girls two girls that were best friends that were sleeping once slept over. They were in the same floor and then the girl, I think, on the upper floor was asleep with her boyfriend in her room and he killed those four.

Mig:

Yeah, so what was the plea?

Lano:

Well, he's taking, he's taking the plea deal. He's gonna, he's gonna say he's guilty or he's gonna take the guilty plea Unless he is, but he's taking that deal. That way they take the death penalty off the table. Because I mean, if you, if you follow that case, it's like the evidence is like overwhelming.

Rick:

I saw like a 2020 on it or something like that Way back.

Lano:

So he can't. The death penalty gets taken off the table. He can't appeal. He can't come back and appeal the case, the verdict, he's gotta admit basically life without the possibility of parole. Yeah, he's gonna do four four life sentences for the four murders and then like 10 years for burglary. So yeah, he's just gonna be. So what was the story?

Rick:

like he was friends with them, right?

Lano:

No, or he lived there, there was something in the connection. I really think this dude wanted to be like one of those nutbags serial killers that wanted to have that fame. That serial killer fame. Because he studied a lot of that crime, that serial killers. He studied serial killers.

Speaker 3:

One of the professors that he was learning under.

Mig:

Yeah.

Lano:

Like he, kind of, I guess, he. One of the theories is that he wanted to like, impress his professor and to commit these crimes he was a student at that school um, he was like a, I think a teacher's aid or something okay doing something, but it's stupid because they caught. They caught the white, his the white car leaving that area or driving around that area. His cell phone was pinging around that area that night yeah, I remember all that and you know um, and then they would like.

Lano:

His excuse was like oh, he was out there stargazing like he just like driving around like weak alibis, yeah and then like, even when they went to go get him, they followed him all the way back to Pennsylvania because that's where he was from. That, even like in the middle of the night. He's throwing away his DNA when he's walking and I guess there in Pennsylvania it's kind of like long driveways, so he's walking down, throwing his stuff in the neighbor's trash, can like whatever DNA he stuff in the neighbor's trash can Like whatever DNA he has in the neighbor's trash can Like in the middle of the night.

Lano:

What an idiot, yeah. And that well, you know how they found him right the knife sheath that had his DNA on the. Yeah, yeah yeah, that's how they were. They were able to, I guess, guess do the whole Zero in on them. I forgot what they call that shit. What is it?

Mig:

Triangulate.

Lano:

Yeah, and they were able to zero in on them like that.

Mig:

Cause I think they even they got a description of his car 2 nor something like that and that's how they were able to get him also.

Lano:

Yeah. So then the one surviving roommate Said that there were he. She saw the guy leaving all in black and I guess he had a ski mask and he had like bushy eyebrows, which he he has. But then this dummy is like back back in like months before the the murders. He was shopping for knives, the same knife that they like. It was just like all the evidence was like mounting up, like there is no way he could escape.

Rick:

You've been following this on youtube or like since 20 court tv or something.

Lano:

This thing happened in, I think, 2022 2023, dude, that's 2022 well, why, why the hell would the da offer him?

Mig:

him that deal.

Rick:

Because they're going to get him right.

Mig:

Yeah, I mean such a strong case, screw him man kill him.

Lano:

I think they did that because they didn't, because he can appeal it and he can prolong it and it's something with that town too, idaho, because they were trying to get this thing over with Like that little small town in Idaho.

Mig:

Yeah.

Lano:

They were like trying to just get this case over with.

Mig:

There would have been some way he could have snuck out of it after.

Lano:

Yeah, because I guess the small town they don't like how much activity is going on, the reporters coming around and they just want to be done with it. The one judge that started with that case he retired and had to get another judge. Because he's looking at the cases like this thing's going to drag on because I guess he was set to retire. He's like if this thing goes to trial who knows how long it's going to be and then a death penalty trial is going to kick in after that, and then you know, a death penalty trial is going to kick in after that, and then if he's going to be appealing that, and then he's like no, I don't want to deal with it.

Lano:

That's true so it's just like that whole town was just like they want to the state of Idaho, like they didn't want to deal with it no more. They're trying to sweep it like already out. So but the lawyer, the prosecutor, is saying like well, to keep the families from, you know, dragging along and dealing with this for so many years Because after the trial he's found guilty and then they got to go into the trial for a death penalty.

Lano:

Yeah. And then a lot of say like well, a lot of times they don't get the death penalty Because you know jurors, they just don't want to give the verdict of being responsible for the death penalty because you know jurors, they just don't want to give the verdict of be responsible for the death right don't be the ones.

Lano:

So it's just he's saying to to save the families and of that lingering you know so many years of them yeah dealing with this that way, this can kind of get put aside from them, knowing that he's not ever gonna see the light of day. But there's, the family is like one of the girls dad's like he wants him dead yeah, he wants some. You know, I would too dude yeah, he wants some put to death, you know. So that's kind of like that. What's going on with?

Mig:

that that's. That's almost like the plot to a movie dude it's like the defense this guy gets sent to jail for life and shit and then one of the dads does some crime to get sent to jail on purpose and the defense is like they can only do so much.

Lano:

They're trying to get so much stuff thrown out.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Lano:

They wanted to say that they can't Describe them, as they can't describe the killer with bushy Eyebrows.

Rick:

They want to throw like a bunch of evidence Out of the case.

Mig:

Their only defense, the way I see it, is insanity. That's the only thing they can claim.

Lano:

I think that defense just knew that there was no way they can, there's no way that they were going to be able to get out of it. So she told them you need to take a plea deal If you want to live. The only way to live is the rest of your life in prison. Yeah, take a plea deal. That way they take that death penalty off Because they're saying like I can't, like they can't win it, like there's too much overwhelming evidence, you know. And then, like the days after the murders, they show him like taking a selfie, all showered up and everything, like looking all weird and stuff. He had his search. They looked in his search thing that he had like search of porn of like girls, like unconscious or asleep and stuff like that. You know it's like dude, like all the evidence was sick, dude, yeah.

Rick:

And then also this week, you guys heard about that fire where, like which fire? There was a fire somewhere and then, like the firemen went to take it out and they got snipers and they got shot.

Mig:

Oh, yeah, yeah, in Idaho also. In Idaho Some guy set a fire.

Speaker 3:

And he started Waiting for the firemen to get there and he started sniping them yeah.

Lano:

That piece of shit.

Mig:

And then you know what's funny, is that right away. You know what's funny, is that right away? You know, of course, you know, to make the the narrative Anti, you know second amendment and Anti MAGA and everything you know, anti right wing. You know they show Pictures of the parents. You know. And of course there were Trump supporters.

Speaker 3:

No, no, they're.

Mig:

There were trump supporters no, no they're trump supporters and everything, but then they show a picture of the kid does the, the kid that did the shooting, and there's no way that this kid followed the parents beliefs. It's like you look at the kid and you can completely tell that this kid was completely rebelling against everything that the parents believed. Yeah, look at him you gonna tell me that guy, that kid, would support Trump.

Lano:

He looks, uh, that picture, right, he looks, what's support Trump? He looks that picture right there.

Mig:

Well, and I'm telling you, it hasn't come out yet, but my thinking is that this dude probably tried to become a firefighter, for whatever reason he got rejected and that pissed him off. That's the first thing I heard. That I thought when I heard about this you know about him Killing firefighters that way Is that it's just the beef that he had. You know that he probably tried to become a firefighter and for whatever reason, he was rejected and that's why he took out his anger and frustration.

Speaker 3:

That's going to come out something.

Rick:

Alright, stay with, I guess, current news so this happened last week. This was in Boston and some girl recorded something falling from the sky, but she didn't know what it was, so they're just saying mystery object.

Mig:

It's a giant robot.

Lano:

Oh, I haven't, I haven't, uh, I haven't talked to vanessa about that. She's gonna say it's.

Rick:

So she thought it was like like a rocket, but then that looks like lights and blinking. What's going on? So she tried to see it.

Lano:

I was gonna say in front of the house, but like people finally coming, that's fucking iron man fool.

Mig:

It looks like that, so she went in front of the house and like that's your people finally coming. That's fucking.

Rick:

Iron man fool, it looks like that. So she went in front of the house and then she Just like lost it. But this was after the Like the missile bombings and stuff. So it was like it looks like a missile coming. I don't know what it is, but I just thought.

Mig:

That's Tony.

Rick:

Stark, you guys could see it, but nothing blew up. Nothing blew up, nothing. She he just cut the video of this thing falling. But I just wanted to see if you guys thought, or what do you think that's?

Lano:

a house thing. Why is it? Why is it blurry like that?

Rick:

well, it's a phone and it's probably like a half, like 100 miles, not 100 miles, but, like you know, 30, 30 miles or whatever it has to be blurry dude.

Mig:

100 feet away, it's in the sky.

Lano:

Lano:

I don't think it's on there. No, it's not on one One Crazy Summer. One Crazy Summer Is it on the list? I got to look at the list because I don't think it's on there. One Crazy Summer is Crazy Summer. That's a good humor.

Mig:

Mig:

Mig:

Hangman.

Rick:

He's the guy.

Mig:

He plays Arnold Schwarzenegger role.

Rick:

Where it's like a game show, and then people are trying to get him and stuff.

Mig:

You remember watching the Running man? You probably didn't. I didn't watch it Running.

Rick:

Man.

Mig:

Running man. Running man probably didn't. I didn't watch the Running man. No, Running man.

Lano:

Running man, running man no, I can't picture that one.

Rick:

The Running man was pretty cool for its time.

Mig:

Yeah, it was pretty cool.

Rick:

Mickey told us about Spaceballs with G-Sentence, right? Is that real?

Mig:

or is that coming back? Oh yeah, it's happening.

Rick:

Spaceballs is coming out.

Mig:

Yeah that was pretty cool Spaceballs there's something else.

Speaker 3:

I saw too.

Mig:

I don't know.

Rick:

There's something else, but we'll see. So a lot of movies are coming out For, I guess, the summer. They made an announcement that the Last Fast and the Furious Came back to LA April 2027 though, so it's like two years away.

Mig:

That's not news.

Rick:

Two years away, oh brother. But we got some phone calls, with two phone calls right now. We'll go through all right let's do them well, hold on. Let me make sure the audio is set up properly all right.

Mig:

Hey, with all the riots going on, what is your guys' opinion?

Lano:

On the riots, the immigration, deportation and people you know Riding in the streets protesting, things like that. What are your guys'?

Speaker 3:

thoughts on that.

Rick:

You just want to light a powder cake.

Mig:

Don't you mark the shark?

Lano:

freaking mark dude.

Rick:

He's kind of serious too yeah I mean, I was like what did apple do? What did um the nike store jordan, because all those stores got like looted downtown okay well, first, of all all the rioting and protesting.

Mig:

It's all stupid and it's all bullshit. First of all, it does nothing. It accomplishes nothing. I don't care. You can tell me it creates awareness, or whatever Awareness of what. What does it accomplish? I agree accomplish.

Lano:

I agree. I agree the rioting Is stupid, it's bullshit. And all this Now, key word the rioting, the people that are out there Protesting.

Mig:

That's what I'm saying, even the protesting, because they say it creates awareness. But what does that awareness get you?

Lano:

What's the end game of it? I see it protesting. People out there want to protest. That's their right to protest.

Mig:

No, of course.

Lano:

Absolutely 100%. But the rioting, the destroying it messes it up for all of them that are out there that really want to bring the awareness of it.

Speaker 3:

Absolutely Because as far as awareness.

Lano:

You talk about awareness. Now we don't know how true it is. And I don't know how true it is and and I don't like the like I'm, I'm all for, uh, people that are coming here illegally and they got criminal records and they're doing their shit, get them out. I don't care what it is, get them out, but I really, I, I, I want the people, even though they're illegal, if they're here working, especially if they've been here already a while, yeah, I want those people to be left alone. Yeah, they're not doing it, they're here.

Mig:

I agree with you.

Lano:

They're here to better their lives. They're the. They're the. Because those are the people that are like our parents, our uncles back in the day that they came here. See, I'll so, I want. And if they're going just around like they see a raspado man or this elote lady or whatever and they're just harassing her like no dude, leave her alone. It's like go find, go get your list of people that you have that are criminal records, that have criminal records, and get them out.

Mig:

But that's where it's too far. That's where I kind of think they lost control. And they kind of lost. They lost the idea Of what they were, what they initially wanted to do.

Mig:

For me, they should be trying to find Everybody that came in the waves of the caravans under biden yeah they gotta come back even even those people I mean, I'm sorry to say, even the people that are not violent criminals. They gotta go, yeah. But everybody else that has already been here A long time and say they already have, like, the residency and all that stuff. They're scared of walking the streets Right now and everything you know, they should not be bothered.

Lano:

It's just that there's too Many people here. There's too many.

Mig:

You know, and.

Lano:

And now I'm all for. I mean I would want to fight to get it a better system, to have these people go through the process and get them, get them in here illegally I mean not legally.

Mig:

Legally you see the thing like, like I, I think.

Lano:

I think the politicians should be, or or whoever is in charge, they should be working on a system, working with Mexico on how to make citizenship or, however, residency for people that really want to be and better their lives.

Mig:

Yeah.

Lano:

Let's work on a process to get these people in here. That way they're not living in fear of stuff like this.

Mig:

But if you're coming over to fuck around and still do your shit, yeah, no Get the hell out of here, because right now in the now I don't know if you guys have heard it or announced or not if you guys have heard it or announced or not, but when all these deportations were announced, we're going to happen. They also, at the same time, announced a program saying that you're here legally, you don't have like a violent criminal record or whatever your only crime was. You know, illegally you can self-deport and they'll give you. You know you self-deport but you do it. You know you check in online on the.

Mig:

CVP, you start the process. They give you a thousand dollars to cross back over into Mexico. So I guess you can hang out, or you know survive on that for a while or whatever, and start the process and the whole thinking, the whole logic behind that is that it costs them $17,000 per person to deport. So fiscally it's a lot smarter To offer them that thousand dollars For them to self-deport and give them the opportunity To enter Correctly.

Speaker 3:

So, on the news.

Rick:

I saw that like Purple Heart, self-deported, and they're like oh, he fought for our country, but maybe he's doing that program. I didn't know about that program. I saw that like purple heart guy that self-deported, like and they're like oh, he fought for our country, got the purple.

Lano:

But maybe he's doing that program. I didn't, I didn't know about that. You're saying that's the thing it is. I mean, that's that's something we have to see if that program is really in in place.

Mig:

Cause he's self-deported. He's self-dep. What's her name? The Homeland Security? No, no me, no, no.

Lano:

Oh, christine, christine, Christine, yeah.

Mig:

It was heard directly. I heard in the commercial saying it you see, okay, so let's just say so, that's directly from her.

Lano:

Okay, so it really is, it's true that they do that right?

Mig:

Yes, Okay.

Speaker 3:

And that's the thing, and that's the thing.

Lano:

Now, what sucks is you get idiots that are going to start spreading the rumors to these people.

Rick:

Don't do it, it's a trap, and this and that.

Lano:

Instead of these idiots misinforming the people and scaring them to hide out or whatever, instead of participating in this program.

Mig:

Yeah.

Lano:

See if you're legal and you're fighting for these people to become legal, you should go investigate this program and see and get information on it and that way you can educate these people and like that's the way to help people and that's and do that.

Mig:

Okay, instead of all this stupid. So these people Fight back that are out there trying to get the correct message, out there protesting or whatever. They're the same ones that are telling these people to hide and to resist ICE and they want to abolish ICE. That's where I have the problem, because we need these organizations, we need these enforcements I've seen all.

Mig:

I've seen some videos if these people were to do what you're saying, actually investigate what's truthful and actually really help the people that they want to help, not just be out there and and spew the rhetoric that you know that their higher ups Are telling them to spew and spread the fear mongering that they want them to spread, you know, then maybe we can get somewhere.

Rick:

Yeah, I don't know if you guys saw, but they raided the Home Depot Down the street. They just took one lady but I saw that like was she the taco?

Mig:

stand. It was yeah, some lady was selling because they showed the taco stand.

Lano:

Like some tacos are still on the grill, it's empty, like I mean well, I don't know, I don't know what but I mean I'm, I don't, I don't if she doesn't. If she doesn't have no record on it, like why?

Mig:

But I mean, that's been an argument for me for a long time, like street vendors and everything, like food vendors and stuff. For me it's always like not been fair, because it's not fair for someone to just go set up on a corner, start selling food, not have to deal with health inspectors, not have to deal with rent, not have to deal with overhead Well, they should have at least a permit.

Mig:

They should get a permit to be able to sell a car, but a lot of them don't, and that's where, for me, the fairness doesn't come in, and you can't just do what you want. I understand that you're trying to make a living and you're trying to support your family and everything. I completely understand that. But you have to understand also that what you're doing is not correct and there's going to be consequences. To you not doing things right.

Lano:

It's really the choice of the person.

Mig:

Exactly Because.

Lano:

A restaurant can have shitty ass food, yeah. And then you got some bomb ass tacos right there. Yeah, you don't got a Seating booth to go sit on, but you can stand and have your tacos. Well, yeah, I want tacos.

Rick:

It's not that because but they're not paying for the overhead and the rent. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. No, no, yeah.

Lano:

I get that, but it's going to be what the person wants to eat, because whether this person has their store here or that store with the shitty food, people are going to buy what they want to buy. If that, if that restaurant had bomb ass food, then they probably be buying food from the restaurant. I didn't know this and so I and I get what you're saying yeah but it comes down to hey, if you're gonna half-ass, you know overpriced oh yeah, of course everything but.

Mig:

But that's what I'm saying you know You're risking Crossing the border, entering this country illegally. You know you're taking the risk Of being caught and being deported Even once you're here. You know you're taking that risk. You know what the risks are, so you can't be surprised when they find you out and you get taken back.

Lano:

You know how much it costs to pay like a coyote to cross right.

Mig:

Yeah, it's like $4,000 or $5,000.

Lano:

I'm not going to say who it is, what the story is, but this is a story and this all depends on people's interaction with someone. If you want to believe that person, if this person is talking about a family relative, like, yeah, my aunt was here since whatever, and they deported her, but you don't know the full story. So it's really how you want to believe a person, right? All right. So this person tells me and it was a guy that was on a construction site, I'm not going to name no names, but I'm just telling you the story and I and I can't get down with it where this guy's working on a construction site, he came.

Lano:

He came I think it was from Guatemala. He left his wife and his kid to come work over here, which is a lot of people come right, right, and supposedly he paid so much money to this coyote to cross over. Well, he ended up getting caught and then he got sent back and then he had to pay again to come back and then now he's been working over here on the construction site and now he's paying for his wife to come over and this person that's telling me the story, like he's asking him, he's like well, your wife is coming over. He's like well, where's your kids at like? Who has your kids?

Lano:

and then they're like, oh well, they're staying with some, some people that we know, whatever, like we don't even know, like they don't know nothing about their kids.

Rick:

Yeah, it's like right there already like that person you're gonna type of person I get you want to come over here yeah but at the cost of abandoning your kids with someone you don't even.

Lano:

Yeah, you have.

Mig:

No, no idea what's happening to them. That was the whole point.

Lano:

It's like like those stories, like if someone like that, I can't get down with that.

Mig:

I can't. You see, that was like the whole point of the caravans. And the wife the same thing and all the child sex trafficking that was happening, because it was people like him that were sending their kids by themselves, like with these coyotes or with these escorts. Like with these coyotes or with these escorts with people they don't know. They're just handing them off with, like, a piece of paper with their name in it and addressing a phone number, and it's like how can you do that, dude?

Mig:

That's your child Yep, you know it's like how.

Lano:

I cannot get down with that, you know. But they're doing it. And I'll be damned if I'm going to be protesting or supporting someone like that when they just abandoned their kids like that. And I'm supposed to help you stay in this country when you abandon your kids and God knows what's happening to your kids now. Like nah, sorry. So when they told me that story I was like nah, man.

Rick:

You pushed them off the whole world.

Lano:

We're on the same page Like, yeah, you can't. How can you abandon your kids like that, you know it's like no way. Yeah, like I'm not.

Mig:

I mean.

Lano:

It's just there's too many ways you can go with this subject. It's just like. It's just bad.

Mig:

It's a lot of slippery slopes. I mean because, yes, there needs to be reform, and I've always said it, and I've always said it. It's like there needs to be a better way For people to have access, to become A citizen or at least a resident, so they're not having to sneak in. You know, there's gotta be something done.

Lano:

The effort, the effort and the fighting and all that Should be More towards that. Fighting for programs for legal citizenship or residency to be there, not just when the shit goes down and and isis you know, after people that they they're trying to kick out of the country.

Mig:

Yeah.

Rick:

You know, I didn't know that the cartels have took over, like Canada, the borders. I guess Canada has like some ports, like in Vancouver and stuff, and the cartels like took it over and that's where they're sneaking stuff in, like from the north. Apparently, canada like they don't have the manpower to check containers, or so they check 1% of all the shipping goods that come in. Canadians are fucking sorry, so the cartels are like using that route to bring in stuff.

Lano:

So that's why, like fighting for the Canadian viewers Do we got a kind of crap.

Rick:

Has anybody checked in on on on pain?

Lano:

I know pain no.

Rick:

Like I'm.

Mig:

I'm good on her Instagram.

Rick:

She's all involved in all this stuff, or no? Oh yeah, yeah.

Lano:

She's her instagram.

Mig:

She's all involved in all this stuff, or no? Oh yeah, yeah, she's, she's, she's over there. There's been times where I've seen her storyline and I've just had over there.

Rick:

Maybe we should get her on to tell the that side of the she's already lighting up cop cars driving her motorcycle into the cop cars or something yeah well, um, we gotta get her in. We got to get her in and hear Her thoughts.

Lano:

Yeah, we just got to remember You're, and and I always try to catch myself With this when you're going to Talk with someone About anything Political, anything, you, your, your objective shouldn't be To try to Change their mind to what you believe.

Mig:

Just present your facts.

Lano:

Present what you believe. Let them present what you believe. Well, I think this.

Rick:

I think that, that or religion.

Lano:

Like, you shouldn't support that Like no.

Mig:

Yeah, no.

Lano:

And the conversation will go a lot better.

Mig:

It'll be more productive, it'll just, and that's something that I need to work on, and I know because you definitely need to work on that, because I know I get all riled up and everything and I know that's something I need to calm down to get my point across and shit.

Lano:

Your objective should not be to change that person's mind. You just this shit. So your objective?

Lano:

should not be to change that person's mind. You just well, I, I think this, I believe this, and then they believe that. But then, like, if they start trying to change, well, why are you doing this? Like well, because this, because I was brought up like this, like this, whatever. And that's that's what a healthy conversation has got to be, because the big green and back and forth and all that you know it gets nowhere. So that's like, I think, the strong point of when you're talking with someone alright, one more call, and I think we're going to call it a night.

Rick:

Let me see good morning.

Lano:

Drifting on a royal crew, we want to know if you guys played baseball, what would be your walkout song? Mine would be Return of the Mac. All right, let us know, did you?
