Episode 135 - Jury Duty, Weddings, And Weight Loss

Missed weeks, messy schedules, and a jury duty spiral set the stage for a catch-up that feels like real life: imperfect, funny, and unexpectedly honest. We own the delays, laugh at the chaos, and then pivot into the good stuff—two family weddings that brought everyone together, a couple of surprise listeners we didn’t know we had, and a renewed push on health goals that might actually stick this time.

We dig into a 36-hour fast, the psychology of accountability, and why simple metrics beat complicated plans. There’s a side-bet tracked on Apple Watches, a debate about water weight and real progress, and the looming test of Thanksgiving plates. Then we shift gears to joy: an overnight fishing plan at Santa Ana River Lakes with headlamps, glow gear, and a line that starts two hours before sundown. It’s a reminder that micro-adventures fit between work and family if you plan just enough.

Our Black Friday list leans practical and fun: an upholstery cleaner that heats, a retro handheld loaded with 40,000 games for road trips, and job-ready iPads with tough cases. We map out a food review of a San Gabriel ramen spot where you choose your spice and numbness, plus a pastor stand that demands a taco-first taste test. Along the way, we talk garage wisdom—extractor sockets that save mangled bolts, clamp extenders for tight reaches, and the satisfaction of having the right tool at the right time. We wrap with gratitude, a plan to show up more regularly, and an invite to join us for the next round—tacos, laughs, and a little progress.

If you had fun here, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a review with your best local taco spot or tool recommendation. We’ll shout out our favorites on the next episode.

Mig: 0:11

Welcome back to the Drift ing on Arroyo Podcast. This is Mig. It's Lano and RK67. So we still have a show, huh? Yeah. A lot's happened. A lot's happened since we've been last on the air. First and foremost, apologies to all of our loyal listeners. Sorry it's taking us so long to prank out another one. We're we're we're barely uh sobering up from our back-to-back championship when and then um I don't care that we're three weeks late.

Lano: 0:45

Yeah. I mean, it was me. I was uh vacation sick, and then um I forgot what the first excuse was.

Mig: 0:53

I'm good with putting all the blame on Lono.

Lano: 0:55

Yeah, but um I think uh Oh voting day. Voting day took like an hour and 40 minutes. That's uh that's what started the snowball effect. Veterans Day, and then I was sick after I went to a wedding in the rain, too.

Mig: 1:05

You know, I was I thought uh Dodgers had saved me from jury duty. Oh and um I kept calling. I was because you got a call now? Every you gotta call like 6 p.m. the day before. Oh, that's right. Yeah, because of the parade, uh the parade. Oh, the parade was Monday. Well, actually the week before I had to go. Uh-huh. Actually, I didn't even report when I was supposed to. And then I got the letter that scared me. Oh, you're gonna get a $10,000 fine. I'm like, oh shit, I better take this serious. So then I set it up for the week before the the World Series. But um I gave them an excuse that I couldn't I I couldn't make it, I had to reschedule. So then I rescheduled it that Monday that it was the parade. Uh-huh. And I go, oh man, I go, maybe they're um I don't have to report. And you know, they're they're closed because of the street closures. Yeah, the street closures and everything. But then like I had to keep calling, and then I was like, I was almost home free Thursday, and they tell me I had a report. I'm like, oh, dude, last day, like Thursday to report to Friday? But work, yeah. But then work was busy, so I had to push it off the next week. Then again, the next week, I was like, right, right when I rescheduled for the following week, yeah, like Monday, you don't have to report. I'm like, yeah. Tuesday, they go, Oh, I had to report. I'm like, dude, like work was so busy. I was like, I had to push it again. And I did it again, and then I was almost home free again till Friday. They wanted me to go back. No, they actually said that I did it, that I failed to report. So two Fridays in a row. I they failed to report. I was already on my last day. I'm like, bullshit. I go, I can call from 6 p.m. the day before or up until like 8 p.m. in the morning. I mean 8 a.m. in the morning. Yeah. So I called, you know, in the morning when I was went to work, and I got a message saying that I failed to report, that they're gonna summon me again for another further uh future time. I'm like, dude, what the hell, man? It's like four weeks of them reporting to jury duty, and I couldn't get out of it. So you you went or you didn't go? No, I haven't gone. I it was just reporting. And this is all downtown. Yeah. But they but they sent you a letter saying that that they're gonna threaten you with a ten thousand dollar fine. Yeah, I haven't heard that before. Yeah, I never got in one of those.

Lano: 3:33

Yeah. When's the last time you've done jury duty? Both of you guys.

Mig: 3:37

Ah man, it was Dude. Uh for me, it's I think easily over 20 years. Yeah. Yeah, man. And that time that I did it, dude, it pissed me off so bad. Yeah. It was it was just a stupid waste of time.

Lano: 3:51

Like you didn't get a court case, you're just sitting in that big lobby or whatever.

Mig: 3:53

No, dude, I was an alternate.

Lano: 3:55

Oh, okay.

Mig: 3:55

And that pissed me off even more because I couldn't even put in my two cents if I wanted to. Yeah, it's like I had to I had to sit through the whole stupid thing and I had no say in it whatsoever. Miggy was ready to send someone to the electric chair. Hey, dude, if you if you would have seen this evil broad, I would have found her guilty. Well, it's been 20 years. You could talk about the case. So, what was the case about? Oh, yeah, man, I don't care, dude. Like if they're gonna find out. It was a domestic violence case. Oh. And first of all, it was a domestic violence of the wife against the husband.

Lano: 4:29

The wife against the husband. The husband was a the wife was a beater?

Mig: 4:34

Yeah.

Lano: 4:34

Uh-huh. The wife was a victim. The husband was a victim. The husband was a victim? Yeah. Oh.

Mig: 4:39

And none of them wanted to press charges. Neither party? Neither party. Why were you there? That's my point exactly. If neither party wanted to press charges, why the hell are we here? I guess they said because the the cops have shown up so many times. It was the state. The state they wanted to prosecute.

Lano: 5:02

Were the kids involved or no? The state's looking for like kids of happy people.

Mig: 5:07

Well, anyways. So this stupid case, you know, they're they're trying to they're trying to get the the the the broad for um assault. Uh-huh. You know, but the way her scumbag lawyer worded everything, he was saying that even if you just put your hand on her shoulder, that that's already assault. And she was she had her right to defend herself. Yeah. Hand on the shoulder? Yeah. That simple act right there was enough to constitute assault, and that she feared for her life, and that's why she retaliated and beat that dude up. And I'm dude, I'm sitting there and I'm like, you gotta be effing kidding me, dude. And you had no say, no, and the judge, the judge let it go. It's like whatever, whatever grounds they set, that's what you had a robot. And I'm like, well, if you're gonna do it like that, then yeah, you know, it's like, yeah, you gotta let her go. I'm like, for me, this bitch looks evil. I I it's like I say lock her up. If I go, I wanna be part of a case that's a good juicy. Then that's the thing. More than likely, you're not. And that's why with me, it pissed me off that one time that I went, I wasted three days, dude. Well, the one time that I went, and what was the worst in the office, and I can get called. Well, what was the worst is that calling in bullshit. Uh-huh. And then so I had to go in, and I sat in that stupid room all day on a Friday. One day. One day. Yeah. But in that stupid room where, like, if you don't get called, then you're good. You're in the clear. Yeah. It was already maybe like about two o'clock, dude. And I'm like, dude, I'm good. I'm clear. I'm out of here. Oh, and they called you to be around. They called me in. Oh. And they called me in, dude. I was like, did they call you by name, or it's like that's stupid. Whoever has this number. I don't remember. You have to report like like every day now, the week.

Lano: 7:19

Yeah.

Mig: 7:19

Just a side. It's like before, before like that, you go the one day, and if you don't get called, that's it. You're dismissed for the one day. Now you gotta be calling every damn day. I'm tired, dude. But that that shit pissed me off so much. So every time I got notices again to go, we're in the trash. I'm like, I got judgment right here. And they get a good one.

Lano: 7:41

Now being uh well, I guess you too, Miggy. Like, um, you guys are both like owners and partners in your business. Do you guys get jury duty money? Or no? Or you just take whatever the court gives you with that $12 a day or whatever it is now?

Mig: 7:54

Yeah. $12 a day for a year. It was something like that. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, that was a lot. I got some. No, no. The big news is our cousin Christy. Oh, yeah.

I mean I'm I'm um I'm uh inflammation going down. I'm in the serious fat burning stage right now, crossing that 24 hour stage. So but when I wanna go drop off that sugar cane in my mom's, yeah, I saw all that stuff. Oh,'s I saw there was like a chicken there, and I was like, oh man, I better get the hell out of here. Oh yeah. Alright, let's go.

And then I was I no, no, yeah, I was drinking though. No, but I had stopped already by that time. But then I I didn't eat nothing all day up until I got to my mom's house. She made Jimmy Changas and then I was like, all right. I'll start again tomorrow. I'll start after 24 hours, 25 hours.

Lano: 13:15

So big shout out to my cousin Wera, my my buddy Felipe, my cousin Felipe, all of our people in El Paso. But everybody heard that. He had to hang out with her, right?

Mig: 13:54

Mark the Shark (Phone Call): 14:07

Almost a month later. Why am I not surprised that out of everyone who uses ChatGPT, Rick, the guy called Caveman, is the only one that's having a hard time pronouncing it and using it. I'm just surprised, Rick. Come on, bruh.

Mig: 14:28

I I always want to say chat chat EBT.

Lano: 14:34

Well, um, there's a part two. I'm gonna play the part two. I'm gonna play the part two. It's stupid.

Mig: 14:38

But look, but look why would you name it that? But look at the the transcription on part two. Like I'm not like I'm the only one person that's that's uh mistaken what the E B T. What the L B T or whatever? I don't I don't know. What is it? Chad chat what is it? Chad G B G G P T G P T. Yeah. So what does it stand for, Lono? I don't I don't know. You use it. I I don't use that one, but Mark, you better have you better know what it stands for.

Lano: 15:04

Call in what the answer you can deliver.

Mig: 15:06

You better know already. I don't want you googling it right now that you're hearing me complain about.

Lano: 15:10

I mean well, the transcript got it wrong too, but this is this part too.

Mark the Shark (Phone Call): 15:12

Say, Rick, about you trying to have Chat GPT build a room for you. First of all, you're trying to fit 10 pounds of shit. Pause it, pause it.

Mig: 15:21

It can't make okay. He called up and he said chat chat GPT or whatever. GPT. Look at what the translator has. That's what I'm saying. The translator has EBT. That's what I'll say. The Google Translator, whatever the hell the translator has on the phone call, the colour. Run the phone call and restart it. I just wanted to point that out and just get Rick's. The edit better have it on the screen and show that. It better. Are you recording off that one? Yeah, yeah. So all your computer systems and everything are stupid too, Mark. Stupid.

Mark the Shark (Phone Call): 16:01

Hey, Rick, about you trying to have ChatGPT build a room for you. First of all, you're trying to fit 10 pounds of shit in a five-pound bucket. They can't make magic happen, man. And then um You know, you guys uh about the weighing each other weighing in and stuff like that.

Speaker: 16:19

I gained weight. I came back from vacation. Gained three pounds, dude. Um by the way, no one's gonna weigh themselves or hold each other accountable. No one's still in the scene of losing. So weighting sucks, dude. Those rules are whack. They have to be like affecting people. Uh no. People have to feel to hurt you guys. Come on, man. I'm getting chewed out regularly by Riggs. Yeah. Month and a half off or something like that. Came back with some bad ideas or something.

Mig: 16:48

Hey, the group text. What was the last group text? Me getting at Meg when you were coming with your fancy charts and graphs and all your bullshit. Hey. I'm giving you. I'm giving you that shit had me rolling. It's all rigged. It's all novel with a group text. All these fatal scales and all this bullshit, all this high-tech bullshit. Showing me like a body scale. Body mass index and pretending all kinds of stuff. It's all Rick response. All that high-tech shitty is still sloppy fat. Oh my god, I was rolling. I think I was trying to read that while I was driving, dude.

Lano: 17:42

It almost crashed. Basically, it's a body scan. It's showing you guys like me naked, basically. You guys see everything.

Mig: 17:48

Yeah, dude.

Lano: 17:49

Everything on there.

Mig: 17:50

Keep that shit to yourself. Yeah. Well, you need to tone up that naked body.

Lano: 17:55

But me and uh me and Mark have a have a side competition going on right now because like we need to motivate each other. We're doing side no we're doing the side challenge.

Mig: 18:04

Well, I'm telling you right now, no, I I weighed myself today. I'm 35 pounds. So two pounds. I think last time I said I was. I think the last time we we all did the reset.

Lano: 18:14

We all started in the beginning again.

Mig: 18:16

No, but it's true what Mark said. We did all kind of get lax. I know I did, and I kind of fell off my disciplined eating band wagon. Yeah, we all got the phone. And I'm not back on it this past week. So many guys know. Even Mark, this goes for you too. When I start running and my weight drops. Oh, yeah. Once you start running, I gotta start running then. Because I'm gonna drop it fast. And if I hit my goal, and you three mother effers are not taking it seriously, you're gonna be pissing me off. And I'm gonna be pissing you guys off because I'm gonna be on your guys' asses. So you guys already better start doing something. But you're not gonna start running until spring. No, I got cold cold already. No. Running cold, running. You're not running anything. Your muscles shrink and you you don't stretch. You gotta stop, you gotta run in whatever condition there is out there. There's no excuses.

Lano: 19:16

No, but running that's the only way to like lose it, really. No, you could do swimming too. But um, me and Mark are in a side bed, and currently, right now, this is day three, and I'm kind of just like destroying them. So where was the bet? Put it out there. Put it out there. Let's put it out there. No, we're in a little challenge, and right now I'm just beating it.

Mig: 19:33

With their stupid little charts and graphs, and yeah, yeah. With your must boot fucking iPhone watches?

Lano: 19:40

Yeah, with our watches, yeah. With our watches. Oh, but uh anybody need an old scale? I got old scale if you guys want. I got a scale, dude. You know what?

Mig: 19:49

We should have a scale in here, dude. Where's the scale? Well, it's in the house. I could bring it in here. Bring the old scale in here. We don't have to tell each other the weight, the the weight we weigh, we just we say, oh, we were at one pound loss, five pound loss, five pound over whatever. We don't have to give the whole weight.

Lano: 20:07

But from the week before? We're down a pound from the week before.

Mig: 20:12

Or whenever whenever we come for the show, I mean it should be every week, but yeah. Whenever the up.

Lano: 20:18

Well, you know, um, when I when I gained, like when we kind of started, I was kind of disappointed in myself. I was like, man, because I was I was like down like six, seven pounds, and then like then we I was up two pounds again. Like from the normal beginning. Like we all kind of reset, we all went back to what we were. But then Mark, that's why I saw I saw Mark and he challenged me, so I was like, all right, let's do this. But now I I'm I'm on a roll right now, so I might start running too. How do you guys keeping track of your guys' uh um? Well it should it shows us, like we could I could look right now and see where he's at, and he could look at me. It's just it's always monitoring us, and we we could see each other. Hotels. Yeah. I see when he wakes up in the morning and stuff. Uh so what else has happened this past month? I'm kind of disappointed because I wanted to have like uh I mean this would be the Thanksgiving episode with some food or something here.

Mig: 21:06

Yeah, Thanksgiving's coming up. We would have had some food, but um I mean I would've if we had food here, I would have broken the oh yeah, the fast. I would have broken it.

Lano: 21:15

Now are you breaking it Thursday? That's the question. Oh, tomorrow morning. It's 36 hour fast. Oh on three days, that's right. Yeah. Oh, so you'll be done. Yeah. You th now are you gonna like overeat because you've been fasting on Thursday? Nah, I probably won't.

Mig: 21:30

Yeah, he is. What's um everybody's Thanksgiving plans? But the fasting, the fasting has nothing to do with it. He'll he'll overeat regardless. Yeah.

Lano: 21:37

What's everybody's Thanksgiving plans? Where are you guys going? Or who's having food or what?

Mig: 21:41

At my mom's house. At my mom's house. Always tradition. Yeah, at my mom's.

Lano: 21:45

And now everybody comes? Like your the whole family, Rick? Like your whole household? Everybody. They all come down. Yeah.

Mig: 21:51

Mark's gonna be there? No, Mark, Mark is actually I don't know when he's leaving, but he's gonna be in New Orleans. He's going to New Orleans. Oh, really? The weekend yeah. Oh shit, cool. Oh, so he's gain weight. He'll gain weight. We're gonna go fishing Friday. We're gonna do an overnight fishing at the Santa Ana River. Then when is he going to New Orleans? Before I think tomorrow night, maybe. Oh, is this like a day like a few days? Yeah, I think he might be going tomorrow. Might be leaving tomorrow. Bring us back some beignets. Mm-hmm. But we're gonna overnight fish over there at Santa Ana Rivers. We gotta go line up. Because you go from 5 p.m.

Lano: 22:35

Is that the one by the bike trail we went on? Is that the Santa River? The one that you're somewhere around there, yeah. Oh your house? Uh-huh. No, but it starts at your house and goes all the way down, like right off the 7-10 or no? No.

Mig: 22:49

Oh, it's not an Orange County? Yeah, it's an Orange County. Oh. It's like a man-made lake. But yeah, I think it's a river. It's that's what they call it. Santa River. I'll have to look it up. But it's like a man-made thing.

Lano: 23:03

So it's a thing like you overnight or what is it?

Mig: 23:06

Yeah, they have so you fish during the day, but then they'll though I guess the people that are there during the day they leave, and then there's the people that fish at night. So you gotta take like your own 10 and sleeping bag and all that stuff? Well, you could take whatever, yeah. So you go San Ana River Lakes. You you pay you see their close Thanksgiving. Wednesday, Wednesday night, close Thanksgiving morning. Yeah. But they open at 5 p.m. at night. So people that want to go fish from Thursday night into Friday morning.

Lano: 23:35

Yeah. They stock what's 80 bucks.

Lano: 23:39

Okay, big boys are coming the 20th, 20th, and 30th.

Mig: 23:42

It's 80 bucks, but they stock it a lot.

Lano: 23:48

But I know you guys always like fish off the shore, right? Yeah. So are the big ones like in the middle, you gotta get a boat or or no? Like are the big fish gonna come to the edge? Like how far do you cast from the from the shore?

Mig: 24:10

From the from the from the bank right there? You probably could cast a good I was by Tustan and then I got one. Um I mean depending on which what weight you got there. Yeah, they got a boat with motor rentals right there, up to three people. Like Mark Mark puts like a damn five-pound weight and he tries to chuck it like half halfway across the lake.

Lano: 24:34

Well actually it looks kind of cool. So he's done it before, or this is your your guys' first time. Yes, I think he's been there before.

Mig: 24:40

Mig: 31:55

You know what? Yeah. You know, maybe they should have done it. I mean, I guess that's uh I know just to keep it compact, but if they would have done it like a T, just to make the screen a little bit bigger on top. But the screen is cool. Like a white, like a white screen. Yeah, like a white screen. Just make the whole thing constant, keep the buttons where they're at, but just make a T.

Lano: 35:09

That I mean it was on that property, that's where it was.

Mig: 35:11

Yeah, you probably don't remember. You're probably too small.

Lano: 35:13

Palo's very similar.

Mig: 35:14

Marine land.

Lano: 35:15

That was like the R SeaWorld before. Yeah. We actually had Shamu first. And then um SeaWorld bought it from when Marine Land closed.

Mig: 35:23

Is that what Terranero's built on? Yeah. That land. I always wondered where where it was at. It was a water park or what? Oh well, it was like a SeaWorld. But over here.

Lano: 35:35

Yeah, this is it.

Mig: 35:36

Like it was like a lot smaller. I don't remember that.

Lano: 35:39

This is the the proper. It was like it was a smaller, but it was like our proper. We had Chamu. See, this is the one.

Mig: 35:43

I remember because uh our uh our aunt Elisa, her job that she had, they would have like company picnics there like every year. And I think she took us one time. Oh, and they built the golf course on there?

Lano: 35:58

Yeah, that's this is like what it is. So see this this shot? Yeah, I was wondering. And then this shot right here, this is this is it. Like no way. Oh, that's crazy. Where it is. That that's the piece of property. So we we had Shamu.

Mig: 36:15

Yeah, I've never been to SeaWorld. So the only times I've ever seen like uh like a show like with killer whales and all that shit, it was there. Like dolphins and everything.

Lano: 36:26

Yeah, this this was it. Like I remember my grandma took us there. And then um, we had Shammu and then in um SeaWorld, the the the the whales were called something. I think it was called like Corky and Orky or something like that.

Mig: 36:41

Orcas. Orcas, and then and then unless I was I just remember, I don't remember going to any of that.

Lano: 36:51

Let me see, let me see. Um tell us when when it closed. This is back in the the I guess they had to close in the 80s. It had to close when operated from 54 to 87. 87 87. Oh, I I mean I got I remember it because you know it had like the dolphin strollers, you know, when you were a kid? You ride in those like those plastic dolphins that are like strollers. But yeah, this was this was our yeah, here's the property.

Mig: 37:27

Yeah, I think I must have been like around 10 or 11.

Lano: 37:35

Like if it was still around, I I'll I would be going there taking the kids. Is this right there? Um Where where's the Pellos Verdes, right? That's where it's hey, yeah.

Mig: 37:48

87 I was eight years old. Why did they take me? I don't remember ever going to place like that. You just remember going to Sea World?

Lano: 37:59

Maybe you thought it was Sea World. Maybe you thought it was Sea World.

Mig: 38:04

Well, not if they took you when you were eight years old.

Lano: 38:07

You didn't remember, maybe. Maybe you just don't remember.

Mig: 38:09

But I wouldn't remember Yeah, but that was probably way before when they took us.

Lano: 38:14

Yeah, you didn't necessarily go when it closed.

Mig: 38:16

No, but I'm saying I I was already eight years old. Yeah, when it closed. I was already eight years. No, but I was they they had eight years being alive. They could have taken me like when I was five, six, seven. Well, maybe your memory doesn't go back. I wouldn't remember that. I wouldn't remember that. I don't think it was I don't think it was SeaWorld. SeaWorld, when did SeaWorld open up?

Lano: 38:40

Well, those are I mean they're already in competition. SeaWorld's been around.

Mig: 38:44

Oh. What op what opened first?

Mig: 38:59

54 and then okay.

Lano: 39:01

Um this one says 64. So it opened 10 years, so Marine Land was already 10 years.

Mig: 39:06

Hey, why don't we be like the Dan Patrick show and get like a golf simulator in here, dude? I w I wish. Get on it, dude. Sell some more t-shirts.

Lano: 43:03

Well, isn't it's gonna have to do an update once you turn it on? But um you have to like you have to set it up for some stuff.

Mig: 43:11

Yeah, I gotta set up uh emails and all this stuff.

Lano: 43:14

And what I I haven't seen you guys in a month. What else is going on?

Mig: 43:18

Um what else is going on? Well, how would you guys do in the rain? Terrible. The rain um and it got my ass soaked. You guys stayed in, Lano?

Lano: 43:32

Oh, we had the wedding that day, that that weekend, and it was like pouring rain. So we weren't at the house. The house, I mean the house is doing okay. Nothing um flooding in the yard or anything, but just though the wedding, you know, um we're in a wedding, so we're all dressed up. I don't got like nice, like rainy dress clothes, right? Uh huh. Like, so I don't have like fancy coats or or jackets and stuff for the rain. And then um the kids are they're in their they're a flower girl, so they're in their dresses and stuff, so like they don't want to step on the puddles, but their shoe their feet are wet or their shoes are wet. So then I gotta carry them, and then like you know, they're all stepping on my pants, getting me all dirty, and I'm just like, whatever. I'm just gonna be dirty because the kids are gonna be dirty, and then we're just like soaking wet.

Mig: 44:09

You know, um, you know what we did? Um we did bridge to nowhere. In the rain? Me, me, Mark, no, before the rain.

Lano: 44:20

Well, I remember you went. This is you went a second time?

Mig: 44:22

Oh no. Did I say already? Yeah, you told us.

Lano: 44:24

You talked about it? Mark went in the coal plunge and stuff. He did some diving. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and then I we talked about last one. Yeah. And I sent you that video of going the opposite direction. Like there's some like pools and stuff.

Mig: 44:36

Yes. I sent you that video after you. Yeah, that was cool. But you know what? Um, because I was thinking about that restaurant we ate at. Oh, yeah. We talked about it. But we found a pretty good uh ramen spot right there off of in San Gabriel. Off of Valley.

Lano: 44:51

I think he went, because he went to the um was like the clan bar or Clandestino or something, or what was it? Clandestino. Clandestino. But then you talked about ramen too. Was that the same? That was the same spot. We went again. Oh, it's still good?

Mig: 45:05

Yeah, man. We gotta I think we should do a food review. On Valley? Where on Valley? Um in that in that plaza. I it's kind of like where the old norms was at. Where the old norms remember on Valley? Yeah, no. You said the name of it. I don't remember the name of it. That's on New. Yes. New Avenue Avenue. So that that big plaza that has like a bunch of it's a plaza and has a bunch of stores, like three stories of just a bunch of stores. They were like on the front. I drive by there almost every day.

Lano: 45:39

Yeah, you take the streets home, huh?

Mig: 45:41

Or you take the three like valley all the way, or if I get off early and I don't want to deal with the uh the traffic, not so much like on the 10, but where it hooks up with the five. Like that jams up so bad right there, that I just don't want to deal with it, so I'll just take the streets. Right, yeah. Take my time.

Lano: 45:58

Because one day we're driving back like that, we just took the streets, and then like I started recognizing all your food spots. And I was like, oh, I think this is the way Mickey goes home. Yeah. Because I started seeing all the stuff that you see.

Mig: 46:11

I think we should do that. Go try that ramen. But now's the time because it's winter. Yeah, we'll just have to plan. Because I remember I told you that um oh, it's suki.

Lano: 46:23

Yeah.

Mig: 46:24

Yeah, because you looked it up already, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You looked up the menu.

Lano: 46:27

We looked up, we're looking at the menu and everything.

Mig: 46:28

Yeah, we went again. Yeah, that was good. But it's kind of, you know, the way they do the the ramen, like like one dish that I get, you can pick the level of spice and numbness. Numbness? Yeah. Shit. So it's like last time I did it, like I did it in the I started off in the middle because I think from from one to six. I did three three. That thing was effing me up, man. That I I I hot. But then this time I I went one, one one, and there was nothing. Like, oh I don't know. I went one I went three-one, I think.

Lano: 47:14

Three spice, one numb.

Mig: 47:16

Yeah. And it was like nothing. I was like, what the hell? So you got to do that.

Lano: 47:22

Does the more numb like lessen the spice? Or no? Because you're getting numb. I uh like you won't taste the spice?

Mig: 47:29

No, I just or how does it work? I don't know. I think it just keeps it keeps it lingering.

Rick: 47:34

Yeah.

Mig: 47:35

Because I could just like just like when I go get tacos, man. I tell them, you know what, just don't put chili in it. Let me put how I like. Oh, because if you if you leave it up to them, they put the whole spoon of damn chili in the taco, and then you can't even taste nothing else because your mouth is just burning. Okay, so we have we we we have to do this. We talk about the the the food reviews or whatever. And Marco, Mark, you gotta come in on this. We have to go to that pastor spot by the house right there on Sunset and Amar. Oh, the one you keep on telling me about? I went to go get us. Oh, you talked about that one. I went to go get us um burritos, yeah. Me, Vanessa, and Trevor. And then I said, you know, F and you know, give me a uh quesadilla. Dang, that quesadilla? They put us over there. Put pastor inside? Yeah, uh-huh. They put so much like stuff in there and beans and the cheese and the pastor and oh man, and it's huge, man. Yeah, but if if I go there, first time I'm gonna go there to try it, I'm just gonna get just tacos. Yeah. Because I want to try the pastora in its purest form, and the purest form is just in tacos. Well, you could try, then afterwards I'll get burillos or try other stuff. I don't know. It's it's just damn good. But that one, let's just set the damn day and let's go do it.

Lano: 49:00

When's the last time? Because my wife was asking, when's the last time you guys have tacos estrella?

Mig: 49:07

Probably when Danny lived over there.

Lano: 49:09

Well, that's what I'm saying.

Mig: 49:10

Because we think that everyone's old OG Estrella or but whatever, the truck, the stand, whatever. Anyone because the stand that was right there by the railroad by the uh there no more, right? Yeah, it's not there. It's the ownership or something. What is it?

Lano: 49:22

Viva's tacos.

Mig: 49:23

It's still tacos, but it's someone else. Yeah, Viva's tacos. Yeah, it's not like Estrella anymore.

Lano: 49:27

They said the truck moved across the street, but I don't see it. It's like it's supposed to move over that like edible arrangements, like Estrella's gone.

Mig: 49:35

Yeah.

Lano: 49:35

Well, from that location.

Mig: 49:38

But I don't know about the truck over there on York or the truck on for me around here in the neighborhood, it's I I don't really know of any place good that makes tacos. I've tried different vendors on the street and everything, and I really honestly don't know how they're staying in business because their tacos suck. And it's like if their meat sucks, their chili has to save it. And if the chili doesn't save it, then I don't know. Yeah. I'm I'm sure Mingy can make it happen. You. What day can you go have tacos at the stand? Oh, I'd probably Saturday. Okay. This week, Saturday or Friday. No, let's say, let's say, because sometimes we like what if we we record like say we do it Tuesday, like right now. Oh yeah, we could do Tuesday. We do Tuesday.

Lano: 50:32

Yeah.

Mig: 50:34

Maybe we can just record something. You can edit it in, can't you? Yeah. We'll get like spice it in. Yeah. We eat. We all meet up there, we eat, and then like a half hour, half hour, and then we go record and then go before. Yeah, because then like this is already when we're recording this, we just give it like an intro. Yeah. You know, it's like like we'll be like, We'll get the footage early. Yeah, we'll get the footage, and then we'll come and do the show. Footages. We'll come and do the show. I've heard I've heard someone use that before. So you guys are counting me. And I've heard people use it. Oh no, fucking Mark was saying footages. What is this? What are we talking about? Football? Like, I've heard people say footages, so it wasn't only me. So I don't know. F few more.

Lano: 51:25

But I I brought up the the the tacos because I used to get that burrito all the time with everything, chili. Yeah, but like I don't think that I can handle the chili no more wrecking my stomach. That's what I was wondering. Like, if you guys is it that we're older now that we can't handle that chili because I used to be spicy.

Mig: 51:41

Uh man, I still but like I don't think like that no more. I still eat spice like crazy, man. And I tell him to stop because he's always crying about his heartburn, and I tell him, stop eating the spicy food, dude. It it's to be the point, it's the point I'll eat cereal and it gives me a heartburn. Well, yeah, because you already met. You already got like a scar in your liver or whatever. But you need to wean yourself off of it. But I'm in I'm in major cellular repair.

Lano: 52:07

Oh, yeah, you might be better now after this.

Mig: 52:09

Like after my after after 36 hours, my body is gonna do a complete reset and I'll be ready to rock and roll. I'll be ready to rock and roll again. On um Wednesday? I'm fat burning right now, dude.

Lano: 52:22

Look at Wednesday, like as soon as your your 36 hours finishes, weigh yourself. I want to see like if you lost like a morning.

Mig: 52:29

I gotta do it by seven. Oh, yeah, weigh. I'll do it before I leave the house. Well, tomorrow then, right? That's tomorrow. So before I leave the house, I'll weigh. It's gotta do something.

Lano: 52:38

Yeah, I won't see you gotta be at least down six pounds. At least.

Mig: 52:44

I don't know where I was at. 36 hour period? Yeah. I don't know where I was at. You don't think so? Less?

Rick: 52:50

Yeah.

Mig: 52:51

You think so? In a 36-hour period, just not fasting.

Lano: 52:54

He's not eating, then he's burning calories through the 36 hours. He's he's burning weight.

Mig: 52:59

Water weight too?

Lano: 53:00

Yeah.

Mig: 53:02

Yeah, but not like he's burning 10,000 calories a day and shit. You know what I mean? But uh the water weight probably.

Lano: 53:09

I mean, he's not he doesn't have an Apple Watch, I can't tell you that. But like I could tell you Mark's not that doing that. But dang. Oh no, our our our um ours ends I think I think on Saturday. So we're gonna go through the whole Thanksgiving and everything. So wait, wait, wait.

Mig: 53:29

So you guys are uh the challenge is just weight loss, or what do you guys do?

Lano: 53:34

No, no, it's like how many calories you burn a day. Like you have to reach little goals, like one is like exercise goal, you have to beat like a certain number of calories, and you close rings and all that. Yeah, yeah, and then the second one is like um So you guys did a check exercise minutes, like a seven-day.

Mig: 53:46

So where was where is he at right now?

Lano: 53:48

Um because he's probably gonna lose because he's going to New Orleans. Yeah, he's gonna lose. He's already like lost the first three days. Hey. So he can't catch up.

Mig: 53:56

Instead of like challenging for pink steps, you guys should challenge for iPhones. You should take his iPhone, dude.

Lano: 54:02

I think we got the same ones.

Mig: 54:03

Oh yeah, take it from him.

Lano: 54:06

Got the the same ones. Yeah, and I even um I had you know what you could do?

Mig: 54:13

You could just start collecting iPhones if you're winning challenges, dude.

Lano: 54:17

You know? Or what what kind of watch does he have? He has an Apple Watch? Yeah, he has an Apple Watch. Well, is it like an Ultra or a regular one? I don't know. That's the wrong guy. How am I gonna know? Um so Black Friday, um, Christmas, is there anything you get you guys want or need or been looking at besides um I want I want an easy up or like uh like uh enclosure, like a 10 enclosure for my bike.

Mig: 54:41

And I was almost gonna buy one on Amazon. It was on Black Friday special for 119. I was gonna say it's the level. Your easy up, I still have it at the shop, huh? No, you know the enclosures. Like it's it's sealed or everything? A motorcycle enclosure. Like those like when I had bought that one time when I wanted to set up the weights outside and everything. Yeah. Yeah. Just a little bit. That way I can have it easily accessible because it's a pain in the ass getting my bike out of the garage and then getting it past their. It's like one of these? I think it was like a like a six by six or some shit. Yeah. I think it was like a six by seven, probably.

Lano: 55:23

But like fat like fabric, not like hard.

Mig: 55:25

Yeah. Fabric. So that way it's easier to move around.

Lano: 55:30

Yeah, no, that's that's cool.

Mig: 55:33

Or that one's pretty cool. It's a big drive inside. I I became uh German inside tracker finally. Got my new Harbor Freight hat. He's gonna pull it, he's gonna pull it to that 10 lano, and they're gonna think that the bike's injured. The bike's on concussion. Harbor Freight, Harbor Freight hat.

Lano: 55:58

What'd you say? You're you're talking to me? What'd you say? Both of you. Oh they got some. I was I was there.

Mig: 56:06

I was there the other day because I had to buy uh some a set of torques to keep in my truck. And I was trying to remember what the hell that set was. Oh, the one he got that one. Yeah, that you had bought. Oh, the little box? Yeah, I couldn't remember which one it was. It's a really small one, but then they made a one that's a little bit bigger. But that one that's a little bit bigger was missing some features or something. It has sockets now, little small sockets, uh-huh. But it doesn't have that same ratchet. Yeah, the ratchet of the I was looking at them and I couldn't remember what it was. I was uh said, you know what? I'm just gonna get the the set, the three eight stripe set. You know, it's gonna have what I need. You know, because I was working on uh I was working on the truck replacing the the window, the glass or the the lock mechanism. Uh-huh. And I just needed one Torx bit, and I had everything else, the rest of the tools I had them in my in my my personal truck. You know, because that day we had split up. Yeah. Me and the menu, manu wanna go do work on another truck, and I had to go finish that one up. That's crazy. Otherwise we would have finished like super late that that day. Yeah. And the only thing I didn't have was a torque spit. So I just went in and bought a cheap little nine dollar set, like six of them. Because all those other sets are they were like 80 bucks or 40 bucks or small set. That little small sets um um like 30 bucks, 40 bucks. Yeah. I don't want to spend that much. Oh well, before we close out, let's have that tour review. Have you have you used that thing yet or no? The easy reach? No, we're gonna use it this week, I think. What is it? Because the time that I told you the time that I told you that we needed it, uh the the weeks before were because we did a steering box. Uh-huh. And the reason why we needed it is because where the steering box mounts, the frame is boxed, so it's enclosed. And Manuel had a really hard time when we were putting it on. Like he was underneath, putting the nut to the inside and for me to thread the bolt on. Is it this thing right here? No, it's uh what is it called? Easy reach extension or no, I don't remember what it was called. What is it? Hold on. No, look, hold on. Oh, yeah, we do have pictures on. Yeah, you sent it to me. I I and so that's why when you sent us that thing, the first thing that told me was like, dude, it's like we could have freaking used this when we were putting that steering box in, man. I sent it, it was yeah. Oh, it's um so we have another one with tight reach extension clamp. We have another one that we're gonna do this V I T E. But it's a different uh type of truck than what we did on the international. That's the one we needed it for. So we're gonna do a Kemworth, and I don't know if it's gonna be the same frame all boxed up or what. Yeah, right. Those blue ones, I'll let you know. So Yeah, those are so so what I do, so what I do is like I mean, how I'm always constantly watching uh different tools or whatever. Right. So sometimes I come across like something that's kind of and it's so simple, dude. The it's like it's really how easy that was how sometimes we struggle with something or whatever. So when it's something unique, like like I don't I don't send I don't send Megan Manual like a bunch of tool videos like it. When it's a tool that they might when it's a tool that's like unique, I didn't understand what's going on, but now I see it. Yeah, it's what's That was the other thing. Those holes clamps, they're always like a pain in the ass. Oh, yeah. You know, unless you add like the special tools to do it, that that thing will actually work for it too. Yeah. So it'll be good if you have you bought it yet or no? No, I haven't bought it. Well, if you buy it and you come across holes clamps like that, like on anything you're working on, your cars or whatever, then use that.

Lano: 1:00:19

Yeah.

Mig: 1:00:21

Yeah, because you it's just a nut that you uh you spin and it and it closes it and it opens it. So it's just like when you gotta hold the bolt or a nut like right here you're in a tight spot so you can screw some uh see because before what we would do is like with the closed-end wrench, put like a piece of paper in there or a piece of tape or something and try to hold the nut. Yeah, so it doesn't fall off, but then once you got it in there and you got it threaded, that tells you right there a lot of it.

Lano: 1:00:50

I'm trying to think if I wouldn't need it for anything. That's a good idea though. And it's just that simple, dude. So normally, like I I would have to stick your finger in there. How would you like Mickey? Like Mickey.

Mig: 1:01:04

I'm telling you what we did. Put it in the wrench and you put it in. In that case, and then this nut, it was so big, the size was so big, we don't have like compact wrenches that are like an inch and an eighth. A small spot like that, like the wrench, the wrench head would probably be too big to fit in there, or you know. That thing would have been perfect. It would have been absolutely perfect for him to use. So, Lano, every time I come across a video that has like a unique tool that I think Meg Emmanuel might think the other ones I've sent you was like the um those sockets, no? The grip edge sockets, the when the sockets streak. Yeah, the extractor? We bought those. Yeah. So have you used those? Those are awesome, dude. Yeah, they're oh yeah, we love those. Because they're like um from the grip edge? Yeah, yeah. We we used them already a few times already. But one time it really like saved our asses because we were working. Yeah, but the thing is because we were working on an exhaust on a turbo, uh-huh, and we were taking something off of the exhaust, and one of the bolts was just like mangled, you know, we couldn't get nothing in there.

Lano: 1:02:12

Uh-huh.

Mig: 1:02:13

And so I told my told, well, let's try to use that that that set, those those sockets. Uh-huh. And went in there, you know, hammered it in there, and yeah, dude. Got it off real nice. Oh, good, man. Fucking, yeah. It's not just all jive with these things, then, you know. But like, yeah, see? Yep. It just really grips the fucking stripped fucking head. Well, they would say you have to have the proper tools everything.

Lano: 1:02:38

Huh? They said the best you have to have the proper tool for everything. People make the tools for everything.

Mig: 1:02:43

But that's that's what's cool, because even watching that that one girl, Val's tools, so then she'll show a lot of tools too. And it's cool watching these mechanics because especially that guy Garrett Bryant. Garrett Bryant, yeah, I get a lot of he shows a lot of uh unique tools that he uses for mechanics. So when I see something you unique or something that they're like, dude, you you could put you guys could probably use this. I I send him the little short video.

Lano: 1:03:11

You wouldn't know about it unless um you've seen it like that, right? Like, I don't know about none of the things.

Mig: 1:03:15

Yeah, on YouTube on YouTube Shorts, because my algorithm's all over the place. So, but part of it's is like tools, mechanic tools and all that stuff. So that's cool. I didn't know you guys got the grip edge. That that that got I don't think it's the grip edge, but it's something similar. The the grip edge, I seem like it's a pretty good company. Yeah, it was a way smaller set. It wasn't nothing big like that. It was a small, maybe like a 10-piece set.

Lano: 1:03:44

Alright.

Mig: 1:03:46

Let's go. Work pretty good. Well, we'll be here next week.

Lano: 1:03:50

I think we'll be here next week, huh? We should crank out a few shows.

Mig: 1:03:52

Yeah, hopefully we'll be able to get more regularity. Hey, next Tuesday, let's do the taco thing. Yeah, I'm down. I'm down. All right, Mark. Make it happen. Is it still working out here or no? Uh I think he's, yeah, I think he is. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. Be safe out there, enjoy it, be with family, enjoy it, be good. God bless you all. Thank you for listening. God bless. We're all we're all thankful for all you guys that pay attention to our dumbasses. So thank you. Yeah. Keep drifting. And for the future listeners that are gonna come across the show. Peace.
