Episode 142 - Marathon Reality Check

We disappear for a bit, then come back like we never left: cracking jokes, catching up, and admitting we basically “fasted” from recording for Lent. From there the mic turns into a time machine. We talk about the Chuck Norris news we saw, the flood of classic internet jokes, and why some icons feel untouchable because they could laugh at themselves. That turns into a bigger point about growing up on martial arts movies and old-school music where everyone had a style you couldn’t copy.

Then we get personal with Easter. We swap plans, family updates, and the kind of traditions you only understand if you lived them: confetti egg wars, running full speed around the house, and the legendary collision that ended with a tooth shoved back into place. It’s funny in hindsight, but it also hits on something real: traditions change when the kids get older, and you don’t always notice until the whole holiday feels different.

The second half shifts into two big stories. First, Ricky breaks down his LA Marathon experience, including the daylight saving time curveball, the heat, and why doing 26.2 without a real marathon training plan is a recipe for pain. We also introduce “donkey mode,” our new name for autopilot thinking, and connect it to everything from racing to the chaos of everyday life. Finally, we relive a San Francisco birthday trip that starts with a brutal Breeze Airways delay out of San Bernardino, then pays off with Fisherman’s Wharf walks, an Alcatraz night tour, prison history, escape attempts, and food highlights like clam chowder and lobster rolls. We close with quick movie talk, including a Holy Week recommendation for Risen.

Cold Open And Return

Mig 0:11

Welcome back to the Drifting on Arroyo Podcast. This is Mig. It's Lano and RK67. Wake up. Wake up. I know we've been off, but wake up! I got a foil in my throat. Rick's on his phone. Lono's pretending to be a producer. I don't know what the hell he's doing. I'm cleaning up cleaning up emails. I guess I gotta fill in the dead air.

Lano 0:36

I'm cleaning up emails. I think um we forgot to tell our listeners we gave up podcasting for Lent. Just about. We haven't been on there. But but just about. But we couldn't resist. We had to come back. We had to break our fasting.

Chuck Norris Humor And Legacy

Mig 0:54

Yes, sir.

Lano 0:56

I got um two voice messages. They're older from May 2nd, but um let's do some house cleaning then. Let's get a started off.

Mig 1:04

I got a good point that we could start off a sad point. Go before the voice messages are. Well, Chuck Norris, man. Oh yeah. The immortal Chuck Norris, dude. That guy. I thought he was gonna live to like a hundred. Yeah. Someone's I mean, the day the day that I heard that he went into the hospital, I was shocked. Yeah. I'm like, how the hell could this guy end up in the hospital? But his wife recently passed in December, no? I think his wife passed. Did she? I think she just passed before the year end.

Lano 1:40

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. Look it up, Lano. Uh your job. We don't know his name, huh? I mean the wife's name.

Mig 1:48

Uh we'll just look up Chuck Norris's wife. I I want to say that's what I heard. Yeah. Yeah, she passed away. It's funny because like on you know all social media, you start seeing all the Chuck Norris stuff pop out. And you see, like he was he was actually pretty cool with all the jokes. Yeah. You know, they would read a lot of them. Yeah.

unknown 2:09

Yeah.

Mig 2:09

And I didn't know that because I knew he came on the expendables, one of one of those. Yeah. But I didn't know he like did a joke of himself. Oh yeah. You know, where he where um Stallone's character asked, um, he's like, so I heard you got killed, um, bit by a Kim Cobra once. Yeah. And Chuck's like, yeah. And after five days of agonizing brutal pain, it died. So I'm like, yeah, dude. This guy's awesome, man. Great sense of humor in there. They were showing a lot of clips of those. Yeah. But I really like those um those ones where he's shooting everybody and the the bloopers. Oh, yeah. Where people are falling. Yeah, yeah. He's just like, and the people were like a skateboarder falls and shit. Yeah, but all those jokes, man, they're classic.

Lano 2:59

So it looks like um in December.

Mig 3:01

Right?

Lano 3:02

Yeah, um, 2025 December.

Mig 3:03

Um late December before. And they they both um same like Johnny Cash, man. Yeah, they're like, they both were like kind of like promoting like their health, fitness, yeah, fitness, and everything. And yeah, dude, it was must have been brokenhearted then. Yeah, man. That's sad. RIP the Chucky. Yeah, man. Sad loss, man. One of our childhood heroes. Yeah. Grew up watching him and Bruce Lee and just loving all those movies, man. This is the one that had um, I think uh like a lot of the fighters, like they had all his full respect. Like Rogan. That was like Rogan's guy. Yeah. Joe Rogan.

Lano 3:44

And he was like um, I want to say like a stunt coordinator in the the movies, right? For actors, like he would train them or or teach them fight scenes or something.

Mig 3:51

I think that's how he might have gotten into the industry. Yeah. Before maybe. Yeah, because he might have been like a choreographer, a fight choreographer. Because I mean for sure he was a karate champion because he was doing tournaments and winning tournaments left and right. Isn't isn't it isn't it crazy? Like all of our all the all the people that we looked up to or like our favorite whatever fighters, movie actors, whatever, like they would they had their own style. Like, I don't I don't really know if I see that like in today. Like even in fighting or anything, you know? Yeah. Like you can't duplicate it. Like I was just watching a reaction. This the because you know you watch those those reactions of young dudes watching old rap hip-hop videos. Right, right, right. Like this dude, this dude was was um was showing was watching a video of ice cube. You know how we do it. Okay. And he just says, like, man, he goes, like, there's like back then, like everybody had their own style. Like, like you can't duplicate Ice Cube style. You can't duplicate Tupac style, you can't duplicate. Or, you know, Snoop. Like the you can't. I mean, I mean, even even back then, Cube said it himself when when he was dissing NWA with no Vaseline, you know, because he was dissing on Ren. Yeah, you know, saying that you know, you can yell all you want, but you won't sound like America's most. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's like he's trying to sound like Q, but he's like, you'll never be able to do it, dude. You know, and it's just yeah. Yeah, it's just uh a lot of I mean, even though he gets clowned a lot, it's like Steve's like, oh, there won't be another one. Yeah, it's kind of like Steelers go, yeah. Uh uh John Claude or like Rocky or actually John Claude. Um, I think uh he he was really close to um Chuck Norris. He's like I think Chuck Norris took him under his wing and like kind of like kind of trained him. I I want to say I saw cause I saw a post in the said that he was really like really devastating uh what was his name? Um the winning blood sport, his buddy. I forgot his name. Oh that dude uh Jackson? Jackson, yeah. You know, like I saw I saw a video clip that they they did not like John Cloud on that fucking movie set. No, no, no shit. Like he said like he was like eagles it it should have been like his his favorite movie to film, yeah, but that John Cloud was like he he he didn't they didn't like him, I guess. Yeah because that was like his he took control of that movie.

Lano 6:39

Muscles from Brussels. Was he really from like Brussels or no? It was somewhere like that.

Mig 6:44

It was like some type of culture, and then he switched it, he switched it to like um I think it was a yeah, he goes now. My favorite movie to do was was um nerds. Ogre, ogre oh that guy.

Lano 7:00

I I know I was thinking of some okay, so ogre. Ogre Jackson, though. Yeah.

Mig 7:07

What movie were you thinking?

Lano 7:10

When you said Jackson, I don't know what I was thinking about, like a black guy. I don't know. I was I was thinking like a like uh that's racist. I was thinking like Carl Weathers or something, but racial, I don't know.

Mig 7:19

Seven seconds in and you're already ready to be.

Lano 7:21

No, I mean it was a misunderstanding.

Lano 8:21

So I think we were talking about the fasting for Lint.

Mig 8:23

And you gave Mickey gave the explanation that I had found out when I went down that rabbit hole. Big deal. And then like everyone knows Easter is this Sunday. Yeah, Easter is coming up.

Lano 8:39

We just had Palm Sunday and then Good Friday's coming up um the day after the show airs, and it'll be Easter. Um, the next one.

Speaker 2 8:48

Hey Rick, after you had your little encounter with the ice uh with the ice nark, did you uh end of getting your twisty bits after all? Or did you forget to get those? Twisty bits, twist bits, all twisty bits.

Mig 9:04

I didn't know what he said.

Speaker 6 9:05

I was like, twist bitsy bits because it's end of getting the twitchy bits after all. I was like, I was thinking of kind of a bit. He said twisty bits because it looks like stupid twist bits, they're drill bits. That whole discussion we had, they're drill, they're damn drill bits.

Mig 9:22

He called them twisty bits. Well, because I I said you were talking about the people naming different different things, you know. Do like twist bits. That's funny. The package says drill bit. Yeah, I didn't say twist, drill, twist bit.

Easter Traditions And Egg Collisions

Lano 9:40

No, when I heard it um before the show, I didn't know what it was talking about. I was like, what is he saying? Yeah. Well, yeah. So uh any Easter plans?

Mig 9:49

Uh same. Not bad. Usual. Just call them our brothers. Yeah.

Lano 9:53

We can still do the big um We're actually gonna celebrate Maggie hides Mickey's You guys let it go and just get crushed by the confetti eggs, or you guys run and do the big OGs like like back in the day?

Mig 10:05

Nah, no more confetti eggs, too dangerous.

Lano 10:09

So the to make a long story short, these guys were um on opposite sides of a house, right? Running, yeah.

Mig 10:19

Yeah, we would go hard. So everybody would would buy, and we would buy them. Yeah, we'd buy them from my mom, yeah. And then um we had them all there, and then the the war would start cracking eggs on everybody's house, on everybody's head. And um they were back then, you were able to run around my brother's house, Daniel's house. And Rick was eluding everybody, and we were trying to get them. So we were trying to trap them. On one side of the house, there's a fence, so there's like a real narrow walkway. So they were chasing them one way. I saw that, so I decided to go the opposite side of the house to block them off. We both end up coming around the same corner. We collided. And we collided, and and mind you, this is back when we're like in prime in our athletic age. Yeah, yeah. I think Rick had just finished playing football or something, and you're probably college older right after. No, we weren't in our 20s, maybe. Yeah, we were in our older? We were already in our 20s.

Lano 11:21

So both great, but still.

Mig 11:25

Anyways, I was. So um, maybe I was. Yeah, maybe. No, I think you were still you were probably a senior school, yeah. Yeah, and um so um the big collision that everybody wanted to see, they saw it that day. Yeah, and the thing is when I don't know how I was low. Yeah, I don't know how I don't know how you saw me. You came low, uh, and I kind of stayed up. His forehead went into my mouth, and um this tooth right here. This one. It's all dark now. Then it said I was gonna lose it. What the hell does he know? Still there. Um your tooth went through your lip. It went through my lip. And then it cut me on the forehead. It cut you on the forehead? Yeah. But not only did it go through my lip, it got pushed all the way back to the roof of my mouth. And I had a push it back forward with my tongue. You did it with your tongue? Wow, well, yeah. You see, and then I had I had the collision with um when we used to play was it football? No, no, it was hockey. Uh-huh. No, football. I collided with Jose, uh Ruff's friend. Was it football? It might have been football. Could have been could have been hockey. No, I think it was football. This was playing football in the park or the Rose Bowl. Yeah, yeah. I remember that. Well, same thing happened to me and I collided with him. Yeah. And same thing, the tooth went back and I pulled them up. Well, yeah. Your tooth went back? Yeah. They went back at that, and I put them back up. But if I if I ever shaved my mustache, you could see the spark on my lip. But Dennis didn't tell me nothing because I lost my tooth. I lost my tooth. My tooth fell out. My tooth fell out and during COVID. Yeah, I just I just pushed mine forward. And uh I was I wasn't even gonna go to the dentist, man, but it was Los Alba. Yeah, she was man, she was so panicked, and she she was like, Wow, what if you're gonna lose your tooth and you're not gonna have a tooth? I'm like, who cares? I'm like, so what?

Lano 13:37

No, you had the hole in your lip, and so and I think after I heard that story, I decided not never to go to Easter with you guys. I'll see you on Monday. We missed out a lot of good barbecue.

Mig 13:52

But what's uh no, I mean, but the but the thing is, there really there's no more kids, man. The oldest kid is already uh what a sophomore or a freshman in high school?

Lano 14:02

Try and fly.

Mig 14:03

That's the youngest sophomore. Freshman's sophomore. Sophomore. Somewhere around there. Freshman's first and sophomore. Well, the youngest one, we just had her kids in Yera like last year. So she's like 16 now. So there's really junior there's really not any more kids to like do the egg hunts and all that stuff, because we we would uh hide the plastic eggs. And me and Rick had this tradition where we would put uh money in a bunch of them, and we would always do like the one big dollar egg, but we made it difficult to find.

Lano 14:44

That's like you weren't gonna find this thing easily, like bury it or hint it.

Mig 14:48

Bury it or cover it with a bunch of stuff or put it somewhere high or just really make it difficult to find.

Lano 14:55

Someone had to find it, or you'd just take it home if they didn't find it. No, you would say you would take it off.

Mig 14:59

If eventually when they couldn't find it, then me and Rick would be like, No, you're getting warm, you're getting warm, you're getting warm, cold, cold, cold. So yeah, I mean, everybody's already all grown up and everything, so well, not really more than a lot of people. Traditions have changed. Yeah. What about you guys?

Family Updates And Marathon Recap

Lano 15:19

Um I forgot. So my sister-in-law had her baby over the weekend. My um boy or girl.

Mig 15:33

For the people for the people that are just listening. I just did a cartwheel.

Lano 15:37

My my baby sister-in-law, Selena Um Cervantes, had a baby. Um, Matt Cervantes, congratulations. Congratulations, her water broke on Saturday, and then she had the birth her the delivery on Sunday. So we'll probably um go visit her since um they're at home with the newborn. So we'll hang out at their house, watch the baby. But um, no, it's good news. Baby's healthy, they're already at home. That's good. Nice. It was always good.

Mig 16:02

Good to hear that smooth, easy delivery. Everybody's healthy, everybody's good.

Lano 16:07

So the podcast grew another listener. Nice. Another one added to the now we got three listeners. Now we have a crowd, maybe. Crowd. I think that qualifies as but since we're out, um Ricky ran another marathon, huh?

Mig 16:21

Yeah, on um the beginning of the month.

Lano 16:24

What number was it?

Mig 16:26

Yeah, we're still in March. Um, this was this was number 20 overall.

Lano 16:31

20 overall, and and number 10 LA Marathon or number 11?

Mig 16:34

12. Number 12 LA.

Lano 16:37

Now, I'm gonna ask you how it affected you, but whose idea was to put the marathon on the same day as the daylight savings time change? Oh man, you're talking to me.

Mig 16:46

Who whose idea was to be the stupid the stupid uh people, dude? Because the stupid Academy Award or Oscar, whatever the stupid award, it was usually like in the middle of the month, but the stupid award show was uh was there in Hollywood.

Lano 17:02

But is it that's what is it early this this year? I mean, why would I mean you would think every year they would have that conflict or something?

Mig 17:08

Well, I I don't know what the hell the deal was, but the the Ali Maritime was always there. I mean, as it is, like I didn't even get that much um runs in. I think I only did like six, I did like six three mile runs and that was it. Now were were you prepared preparing for the five years? I did one long run. I went did one long run with with Mark. Um he wait he rode the bike at the dam. Oh uh. And I did like an eight mile, I think it was an eight mile.

Lano 17:35

So did you know that was coming or it surprised you when you're gonna do it?

Mig 17:38

Dude, I no, I didn't even it didn't even cross my mind about the daylight savings. Wow. And then I and then it just like when I when I knew that I was like, dude. And and I probably I probably got probably five hours of sleep.

Lano 17:55

Is your phone your alarm? Yeah. So luckily like the smartphones like make that adjustment so you weren't late and stuff, but but still, like when I woke up to watch it, I was just like, what the hell? I was all confused.

Mig 18:06

Yeah, I didn't even ask you because I forgot to ask you for your bib number so I could track you. Well, what was your final time? Oh, it was horrible. Well, I didn't even kind of figure that. Yeah, that I mean I'm just I'm already like you're going backwards now? You're not getting not improving. I hate it like uh aside from that, I'm going backwards. Oh yeah, so and it was a hot day too, right? It was a hot day. Yeah, and it was hot, yeah. It was hot because Manny's Manny's son-in-law Julin did it, and and he was aiming for like a four-hour, 30 minute because he had been training for a long time. But that he got got him, like it it killed him. So he got like a five probably like five twenty or five fifteen, maybe something like that. But like I said, alright, I'm I'm I gotta get to at least running fifty at least hit 15 miles and then I can start walking. So I I I was forcing myself to just constantly run without stopping until I hit 15 miles. Like, once you hit 15 miles, then you can start mixing walking and jogging, walking and jogging. So I I I got it, but I'm gonna tell you, man, like I can't I can't do that no more, man, because my my my body hurts so much. Like I I cannot oh so this might be your last one? No, no, no. I cannot do these without training. Oh yeah. I need to gung ho just jump into it and do it. Yeah, it's just my my body hurts too much now. I I I need I need the the three, four month of training up to the marathon. That way I'm in I'm in shape. Because for me it's stupid just to go out just do like six three miles of runs, you know. I think I did uh I think I did maybe one may maybe two in January, then like the other ones in damn February all spread out. Yeah, like and that was it. They're like just three mile runs. And though the three mile runs, they were like at a damn like a I think uh 12 minute pace. It was like it's horrible, dude. But just it's just my body just hurts. It just hurt too much for me to be doing that shit.

Lano 20:31

So it's like I gotta Now are you still doing like the same like nutrition, like what you run with? Like you your salt packs and nah I don't do salt. You don't do none of the supplemental or not, just whatever you can do.

Mig 20:41

I didn't I didn't I didn't cramp. I didn't cramp. So that's cool. Like last year when I felt really good and then stupid messed up my damn. I I think I would have broke four hours last last last year if I didn't if if work didn't mess up.

Lano 20:56

You didn't make it out there, Mickey? Nah. So just Vanessa was out there?

Mig 20:59

Uh I think last year was Vanessa. This is this past one. This past one was Vanessa. Well, man, she went with Manny because his son-in-law was running it. Yeah, Manny and then his friends. Yeah, everybody, everybody was asking me, they're like, Why aren't you gonna go see your brother when I tell him luck? I thought it was already like more than 10 times that he's ran the LA Marathon. Yeah, I tell him the first few times I didn't miss one because he was serious about running them. Oh, right. I thought these past ones, he's just been dragging ass and just getting himself to the finish line. And I'm like, I then I told him this. I'm like, when he gets serious and he's gonna really try to crack that four hours, I'm gonna be there for him. Yeah, I thought, but if he's just jumping in without training or nothing, then that's good motivation. You want to come over there? You know what I mean? I'm not gonna sit out there freaking seven hours while he finishes a damn marathon, dude. Yeah, no, that's why you know that's what I said too.

Lano 21:54

Like Was this your hottest marathon? Like the heat wipes? Nah, cause nah there was a hotter one.

Mig 22:00

There was hotter ones. Yeah.

Lano 22:02

Because I saw on YouTube some guy, like, it seems like he runs, like, it wasn't his first marathon. Like, he's done a couple, and he said this was like his worst one he's ever felt the heat. Nah, I don't know.

Donkey Mode And Finish Line Drama

Mig 22:12

What about that finish with the pros? That was crazy, dude. Dude. But you know, but you know that um the Americans shouldn't even have been close to close to winning it. Yeah, I saw that. I saw it. He turned the he went off track a little bit. Well, then that stupid chick that was running in front of us. Damn. But I mean, dude, you're I mean, you're a professional. You should know what the tracks look like in everyone. It's like it's like I get but they made it. No, no, but they made it seem like, oh, he just ran 26 miles. Well, that's what they do. Yeah. Like, yeah, uh if if I'm in shape, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna feel great, yeah, hitting the the finish line. So it's like you're not gonna be all distraught, whatever. You're you're a pro runner 26 miles, you're probably training running 50 miles, yeah. It's like 26 miles, you're not gonna be all out of it. So it's like, and then and then the at that point, like, yeah, there's people there, but you can see the finish line. And then you can see the rails that are there keeping the people out, and the finish line is there, like exactly. So I don't even know what the hell that guy was looking at. I'm like, it wasn't like he was it's like, okay, I get it. Like, if you're like in the zone and your body's like an automatic, because I, you know, I've explained this before, and I call it like when I'm driving somewhere, it's like if I if it's somewhere I go so much, sometimes I drive without even thinking about it. Like I'm in I'm in donkey mode. Yeah. And the reason I call it donkey mode is because my dad tells us this story about um him being uh a kid in Mexico, and the the milkman would have his cart full of milk with the donkey, uh-huh, and he would leave so early in the morning that he would still know the donkey already knew exactly where to stop. So the milkman could fall asleep on the cart. So he knew that when the donkey stopped, okay, now I gotta get off and make my delivery. Ah, okay. And then he'd get up again, go, you know, so the donkey knew exactly where to stop. Yeah, yeah. And that's why I always say I'm in donkey mode because sometimes I'm I'm supposed to go somewhere, but I'm going the same route that I always do, and I'm just like automatic, and I'll be going to where I'm used to going and not where I should have been going. Like I miss a turnoff or something, or or you know, I missed the off ramp or I miss something. Yeah. And you know, and then I have manual tell me he's like, hey, where the hell are you going? I'm like, oh dude, it's like I'm already so used to it. But you know, every marathon is different, but still, they're gonna set it up like that. Yeah. Because they're gonna you're gonna have a long stretch and you you see the damn finish line. And it's and if they're elite runners, they probably got damn coaches or something. No, but they probably got watches that are gonna be telling them, right, you're at 26 miles. It's like, how are we not gonna know? Okay, um I'm past 26 miles, the last 0.2 miles is there. Like, finish line is coming up.

Lano 25:19

It looked like he was trying to avoid that girl, and then he just got like stuck on the wrong side of the thing because she was waving the flag in front of him. But that's like her fault for getting in front of you still thinking.

Mig 25:28

Yeah, still a stupid bra. She shouldn't even have been there. But that was pretty cool. Hey, but that was good. That but that metal decorated. Did you hear that before the the the donkey mode? That's the first time you heard that.

Lano 25:40

So you're saying that. No, that's me. Oh, so that's not a term you people say? No, no, no.

Mig 25:44

That's something I use.

Lano 25:45

I think you can I think you can go viral with that.

Mig 25:48

Yeah. I always say, like, um You better put it on TikTok right now. I'm on like robot mode or something like that. Autopilot. You could be the first one. Oh yeah, it's pretty much autopilot, but I call it donkey mode because of that story that my dad told us.

Lano 26:01

I'm gonna use that one, make a shirt. I'll make a oh, we'll make a drifting sticker, donkey mode. There you go. Donkey mode. Oh, that'd be good.

Mig 26:11

A bear, a bear sitting on the donkey or the cart pulling the cart.

Lano 26:14

Pulling the cart. Donkey mode.

Mig 26:16

Oh, you oh, you pulling the milk cart? No, man, the donkey pulling the cart and the bears. The bear on the back.

Lano 26:22

Donkey mode. Yeah. We'll see if I can if I have time to design it.

Mig 26:25

That'd be good, dude.

Lano 26:26

Coming to a hooding soon near you.

San Bernardino Airport Delay Chaos

Mig 26:30

So I went to uh Frisco. Okay, I was gonna get to that. I was like, okay, we're still in March. Fast forward now to your birthday, March 20th. Yeah. So that weekend, your girl, because she had told me that she was gonna take you on a trip to San Francisco because she had booked a tour for you to go to of Alcatraz. Oh, and I am, dude, I've been wanting to ask you about that for I don't know how long, but I'm like, no, let's save it for the podcast. So you left on a Friday?

Lano 27:01

Or what did you eat on Friday? Check this out. Break your fast. No, we I had a shrimp burrito from talking about it. All right. I was telling Laura the story how you would always want to celebrate filarios on Fridays on your birthday, and then you would make it break your fast. Wait, shut up. She'll be like, it's my birthday. Filarios. Yeah.

Mig 27:18

Shut up. I never wanted to eat falarios for my birthday. We always eat it. Stupid.

Lano 27:24

Like, we're getting pepperoni, it's my birthday, and I'm like, we can't eat meat. But all right. All right, go with the Alcoholic.

Mig 27:30

This is the way it started, because we uh we she got flights at uh Breeze Airlines. You've heard of this airline? Freeze Airlines? No. Is it like the smaller kind of like private jet kind of deals? I mean it's a it's a it's a pretty big plane. Propeller plane. Ontario or Burbank. Well, jet plane. Out of so we flew out of San Bernardino. Okay. Small airport. Yeah, yeah. I don't even know why they say it's an international airport. It's a small as an airport. I don't even know where that's at. Um yeah, so we get there and no one's like no one's there. It's like it looks like a damn, like the damn airport over here. Yeah, where we where we rent our space. So we go, we go there and we come in and and the gates aren't even open yet. Oh yeah, Sam Argentino. It's not even open yet. We got there like at 1.30. They said to be there two hours early. Our flight was leaving at 3 30. Get there at 1 30 and they're not even open yet. TSA is not there.

Lano 28:28

They got two flights, one in San Francisco and one to um Provo.

Mig 28:30

Utah. Provo Utah. That's it. And then and that airport is only, I think they only have flights like three days out of the week. Oh wow. So that's that's all it is. So that day, it was the two flights, right? So we get there, TSA finally gets there, they open the gate, go right through, chill, we go in, and we're they and when you get to the the terminals, there's a little lounge where the guy has snacks and makes sandwiches and hot dogs and all that stuff. So we had just ate del taco, so we're just chilling, waiting, and then um you know, we're waiting for a couple hours. But daily. We had a beer this Friday. Right? Friday. Yeah, del Taco, shrimp burrito, still, all right. Shrimp burrito. So we're there, we're having a couple of beers, and then it's time to board. I'm like, all right, we get it, you know, we load up, we get on the plane, and they we start taking, you know, getting in position.

Lano 29:25

It doesn't look that bad. I'm looking at some little pictures, like the biggest.

Mig 29:27

Yeah, and then she paid extra extra money for it so I could have like oh yeah, it's a pretty decent sized plane. She paid extra to have extra like leg space right by the by the exit. Exit. And yeah, man, that thing was cool. Like I had all this room, I was putting my legs up on the chair and everything. That's pretty cool. It's not that long of a flight, right? What? Nah, it was like 40, 50 minutes. Like 50 minutes. 50 minutes, yeah. So, and then we're already there ready, and then the the the pilot goes, Oh yeah, extra. But he doesn't feel good, he doesn't feel good about the left engine. Oh man. He goes, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna he goes, I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna have them check it out. Yeah. Oh, he turned around? Yeah, so he went back. Were you guys in the air or you hadn't taken out? Oh, no. No, we were barely ready to check out the taxiway or something they call it. So we went back, they take us back to our gate.

Rick 30:22

Yeah.

Mig 30:24

And then they're like, Yeah, we're gonna have the guy, the maintenance crew, check out the engine. We're gonna have you guys take your stuff and on board the plane.

Lano 30:31

Yeah.

Mig 30:32

But we got on boarded the plane. We went back in the terminal.

Lano 30:35

But you had like backpacks, right? Or what do you have?

Mig 30:37

It was a carry-on and uh you got a small personal bag. The small personal bag you put underneath your your seat in front of you, and then you carry on in the top. Uh-huh. So we we got off the plane and then the well before they got off the plane, the the pilot says, like, yeah, I'm glad that you know we came back because to check it out, because you know, they're gonna check the plane. So we got off, and then they started saying um it'll probably we we're the flight's gonna be delayed um till 6 30. This is um this is in the evening or in the morning? This is evening. Okay. So our flight was 3 30, now they're saying it's 6 30. They don't have an on-site mechanic mechanic. He's gotta come from Ontario Airport. Okay. And being that it's Friday, it's gonna take him like an hour and a half an hour. Uh huh. He's gonna come check it out. Come check it out. So they did announce, it's like 6 30 was a departure flight now. Then they came out, they take dairy, and they even give you a text. They send you a text. They said, All right, flight. Now the the new departure time is 9 30. 9 30 p.m. So we're like, what everybody's like and then so we're like, all right, well, I mean, what are we gonna do, you know? Yeah, it is what it is. And then um, so everyone's just hanging out. And how's that airport? Is it comfortable or no? Not no like like restaurants. Like a regular airport, like seats are the same. So we're just hanging out, it's already like six, it's probably like already like six thirty. And the guy that's that's there, he I guess he owns that kind of lounge or whatever it is. He has that that spot there. Yeah. They um probably by yeah, it must have been like by six, six thirty. He started he ran out of sandwiches and he ran out of hot dogs. It'll be another hour because can you bring up him on two? He couldn't leave, like, yeah. So and then everyone's like getting hungry, like, whoa sh dude, like we started saying, Hey, uh, I went to go ask one of the cops, like like, can we can we leave? Like, is is TSA still gonna be here?

Lano 32:59

Oh, that's right.

Mig 33:00

They're like, Yeah, I go the second shift comes in at 6 30, and you're gonna have about uh 40 minutes, 45 minutes to uh to come back in. Because once TSA leaves, that's it. You can't you can leave the airport, but you're not gonna be able to come back in because they're gone. Yeah, wait till the next shift. Oh, gotcha. So we're like, so what do we do? Like we we uh Uber Eats or you know, go because by then we're already getting hungry, they're out of sandwiches and hot dogs. And then um so we're like we don't know what to do, we're just stalling, and then we're just like then they then they give a they give an another text update they say I think like 7 30 or 8, 8 o'clock, I think it was. So like, alright, no, we're good then.

Rick 33:49

Yeah.

Mig 33:50

And then we're so right there, we're waiting, we're waiting. You know, uh damn TSA's already gone. They give us a a text update midnight now. Oh midnight. Wow. So now everyone's all like, what the hell? Like I keep people keep coming up. The guy was like, and the guy was non-stop because he was by himself making sandwiches, the hot dogs, everything. He was by himself, nonstop out of sandwiches, out of hot dogs. He had a couple noodles and little ramen bowls. People had to start eating that, like he started buying that. And and then they were like, he was saying, like, um he's like, Yeah, I don't got none, no this, no that. And then it's already like eight o'clock, or I think they gave like another text update that it might be earlier, but then it went earlier, I think like at 10. And then we're like, alright, you know, whatever, right? And then they changed it to like one in the morning. So they kept going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And we're like, dude, like why like just save the time and then leave it like that. Yeah. And if it's earlier, then everybody will be happy, like, oh man, it's earlier expected. But all this back and forth, you're like pissing people off, man. Yeah, yeah. Well, nine o'clock, nine o'clock, and the guy's already. Um, the guy's already like he asked everybody, he's like, uh, people, uh, because he can, I guess he can even come back in. That's the only airline there, huh? Breeze. Yeah, that's the only one. He goes, Does anyone want pizza? Because I'm gonna go out and I so they can know how many pizzas to buy. And everyone, a lot of people raised their because everybody was hungry. Like, yeah, they were coming up and like people were coming up and they were asking, like, can we Uber Eat? So I was like, Well, yeah, no, you can't because you can't walk out. They can't pass the car. So she's like, Well, what do we do? We're like, I mean, you can leave, but you can't come back in. She's like, So we're just stuck here, like starving.

Lano 35:57

Like my at the airport where you live in? Terminal. Terminal.

Mig 36:02

The dude leaves, right? The dude, the dude leaves. And so he was gonna go buy the pizzas and everything. And they're like, he's cool with the with the airport police there, a couple of people there, right? And every all of us, like like three of us or four of us, have like tabs at the counter because we're sitting at the counter and we're buying beers and all that.

Lano 36:21

And whoever's there is just like people on your flight, right?

Mig 36:24

Yeah, no, yeah, everybody's empty, same flight, yeah.

Lano 36:27

Everything's closed and empty.

Mig 36:29

Uh-huh. So, and then no one was there. People kept coming up, wanting to buy stuff, and he um he calls he calls the the airport police, the girl, to tell her that he's not going, he's not coming back.

Speaker 6 36:47

The guy that he has serving the food. That he had, yeah, that he has a family emergency that he's not gonna go back to home.

Mig 36:56

He probably just realized how much he was gonna spend and he was like through this.

Speaker 6 37:00

He goes, Um, well no, that that bastard was talking about like, oh, you're gonna see you're gonna see how much uh inflation is gonna be right now when I go buy pizzas because that's why he's gonna he he he was gonna charge like $11 a slice, man. So but he then called back and he tells the couple he tells the police this is another weird thing. He tells the police if if they can close out all our tabs. I was like, you're telling the airport police to close out the tab to charge us to close out our tabs? Like, what the hell is this place?

Mig 37:37

But the bright side is like after I guess a while, whatever family emergency he had, he did come back. Oh, okay.

Speaker 6 37:45

But like it was like a while until he came back, and people And you don't know what's wrong with the one this one dude when he asked if anyone wanted pizza. This one dude that was real hungry first hand up. He was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mig 38:00

And then when he came up to the counter, it's this little guy like right here, this little booth back here.

Lano 38:05

What is this?

Mig 38:06

Yeah, yeah, that's it right there. Uh-huh. Yeah, that lounge. Hey, and that guy came up because the the cops were closing us out. And grab a sandwich, enjoy a coffee, and then he's like, Hey, you know, he was asking, like, how long till the pizza arrives, and then they told him, like, oh, he's not gonna come back. He's like, What?

Speaker 6 38:25

Like, he was he was all disappointed. He's like, Are you serious? Like, wow, he looked like if he was stranded on an island and they they told him a rescue plate was gonna come, and then they told him, like, oh, it's not coming. They're like, he was he got sad quick, man.

Mig 38:49

But yeah, man. So after all that waiting, the guy came back, he got the pizzas, and he sold the I think like he got dominoes, two little small slices for 11 bucks. All the pizzas went gone. So we were right there waiting in front of the phone. Did you eat other? No, I didn't get pizza. I would have been pissed if I was really that hungry. Yeah, because I don't even like pizza. And we weren't and we weren't, we weren't, we weren't hungry because we just ate before we got there. So we were still, and then we were drinking beer, so we're kind of full. And so, but no, man, finally came around and we loaded the plane and then took off. We got to Frisco at two in the morning, like a little bit, like past two in the morning. That's terrible. Oh, and then uh like during the whole thing, like me, me and Vanessa were like back and forth, like, should we just leave? Like, just cancel the the weekend. Like, yeah, it's like they just keep messing with us. It's like, are we gonna wait here till one in the like this is already like we're tired, like we're already at first we were like, you know, we're cool, whatever, but and she's like I told her the day off, right? Yeah, and like you guys left the night too earlier. And I told her, I go, if if we're gonna stay here past man, then they're gonna tell us, oh, we can't fly out till morning. It's like that's because that's where it was heading. Yeah, but not only not only that, that messes up your like uh your hotel reservation and everything. And that was a night or something. You know what? And I was and I I called the hotel, they said I had to call triple A because I booked it to AAA. And they were trying, I was asking that I was trying to the situation. I told them, well, I mean, is there any way I can get any kind of like not the full refund, but some kind of refund back or whatever? And they were checking and back and forth, and they're like, No, yes, we have the triple A call me back. They're like, we have to call, talk to the manager in the morning. So you were we would have to call you back at like eight, nine in the morning. Yeah. So I was like, oh, we're stuck. So we just waited and then finally we boarded the flame, the plane, and went. And luckily, and like I didn't cancel it, so we we we were able to check in and then we made it. Oh, they see you didn't have any problems checking into your room, dude. No, yeah. Because everything was that would have really been interesting.

Lano 40:54

Yeah, sometimes like the front desk is closed or something like that.

Finally Landing And Wharf Hotel

Mig 40:57

Yeah, so that that was cool. We made it even though we stayed at Hotel uh Cipher. I love that hotel, man. It was it was it was cool. The whole the whole decor. They had a big quad area in the back where they had a bunch of games, pool tables, a big old Connect 4. Um where was that, like in the downtown area or like near the wharf? Right on the wharf. Just just like I don't know, like five minutes from Pier 39. How is it up there? Is it is it really ugly, like the way they say it is, like with all the homeless and winter? This hotel? No. No, that's not it. No, that's not it. Wait. This was a Z? Yeah, yeah. That's how you spell it. Oh yeah, yeah. Not Zephyr.

Lano 41:46

Zephyr. Like this? This is it? Looks like a trendy boutique like hotel, it kind of looks like it.

Mig 41:54

That kind of looks like it.

Lano 41:56

Well I don't know, you got there in the morning and the night. Yeah, that was it. That was it. It was dark when you got there, so maybe Yeah.

Mig 42:04

So they had look at see, they had that the that pool table, and they had like um what's that?

Lano 42:14

Uh couch or whatever. Oh the the foo.

Mig 42:20

Um yeah, they had like a whole carriage. And then and it's cool because they had two fire pits in the back in the in the back, everything turned on at at 6 p.m. When we check in, they give you a little box, a little kit for a little s'more kit. So with graham cracker chocolate and your marshmallow.

Lano 42:38

Oh, this is that giant connector right here on the side?

Alcatraz Night Tour And History

Mig 42:41

Yeah, that's the canary. That's pretty cool. And then um, so and then at 6 p.m. you go at the desk and you get your stick to you can go to the yeah, so that was that was cool. And then you walk through that courtyard, and then there's like um they say it's like brewery. They had the the their beers weren't weren't that that good. But walk to the courtyard and then you go into the the brewery, yeah, or grill brewery, whatever it is, and then um you can walk out to the street and then go to the pier and walk all around. And it was all it was cool, man. It was like um right there in the center of everything, like where the wharfs are. Yeah, we just walked the wharf. So the the Alcatraz tour was where we got the boat was like, I don't know, like what time was that? 15 minutes. We we did a night tour. Oh, that's on Saturday.

Lano 43:33

I'll say that like were you tired from the the night before?

Mig 43:37

No, well we slept in a little bit, so then we we we felt like can you see it through the window?

Lano 43:41

Is this Alcatraz right here? Or no?

Mig 43:43

Uh that's probably a different Was that a ship? I can't tell. That's probably one of the one of the rooms.

Lano 43:49

Okay.

Mig 43:50

But um, so yeah, we so that that Saturday, you know, we went, we had breakfast, and then we were oh well yeah, we had breakfast going around. Pier 39 just trying stuff. We found a brewery that had some good damn um beers there. And then we went and took the the tour to the to the island. And now Contrast, man, that thing that island's that island is badass, man. It's like this is it right here, huh? Like in the background, I think.

Speaker 6 44:19

Yeah.

Mig 44:20

But it it's it's so crazy to think you're in there and to have that feeling of these guys just day in, day out living there. Like you you feel like like it's haunted, like you get a vibe or no? Uh not really. No, not really. I was gonna I was gonna did you guys go to the Golden Gate Bridge at all? Yeah, no, I didn't feel nothing. No? Nah, I didn't feel nothing. You walked across it? We walked to the middle and then back. Oh, oh that that's supposed to be holding it. That was on Sunday. The Golden Gate Bridge? No, because the time that I went, the one time I went, and there was like a certain point on the bridge where it kind of walked, and it just got like dead ass ice cold.

Lano 45:00

I think I've heard that. I've seen it.

Mig 45:02

I just felt yeah, I just felt like this kind of like an I want to say almost like an anxiety or like kind of like a downer, you know, like a depression. No, you know, I just felt something, and something felt off. And then I just kept looking down, I just kept looking down. Oh, like you wanted to jump. You see all the currents, and no, I didn't want to jump. I just but I was wondering, you know, about people that the feeling, uh-huh. Yeah, it's like, dude, it's like but it doesn't even look that high. It doesn't. Like you're like, oh man, like it's like, but what it's like, but that that's the thing. It's like the feeling I had it was how bad does your life have to be that you actually consider making this jump.

Lano 45:46

But halfway as far, is that like a mile in or no? Halfway, I mean it seems like a long bridge.

Mig 45:51

Oh, it's a long bridge, like to walk halfway. Yeah, it's long. You walk that? Yeah, no, not the not the whole bridge. That's all the time. Well, yeah, about halfway. Yeah, yeah, you walk halfway and then you walk back. But um going back to Alcatraz. Oh, that's weird, maybe. And Alcatraz, like you go, the coldest part of the island was the wreck yard. Where the they go because that's on the slide area. That's yeah, right around that area. Or a little bit, yeah, it is that area. Uh-huh. Actually, no, it's on the opposite diagonal other side. Um, that's the coldest part. Don't have anything like haunted tours or anything, right? No. No. So it's crazy. Alcatraz was was billed to to imprison the the Confederate soldiers. They were trying to make their way less. The Confederate soldiers. Okay. Yeah. Right? After after that, they turned it into just the the prison where they uh taken everybody. But was it federal, right? Yeah, federal prison.

Lano 47:01

But was that like a regular prison or like a supermax, like like the height, like dangerous criminals? Or just anybody? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Mig 47:07

Maximum security. But it was crazy because there were some people in there that were like they got life sentences for for robbery, like bank robbery. Like, bank robbery, and you're gonna get life? Like, I get all the murderers and yeah, but I know it was crazy because like the famous one is Al Capcom that was there. But you know what's trippy? Yeah, they're protected. Yeah. So but what was crazy is that New York. You guys remember when I when I told you about the the breach street, the breed street, and where I'm working at, yeah, when they broke in, and I was telling you guys about Mickey Cohen, that that that Allie mobster that was Bugsy Seagull's right hand man. He was imprisoned in there too. I saw his mugshot. It was like he was he was locked up in this in Alcatraz. You know, I think so, yeah. There's a movie, dude, that that's about him. Yeah, I think it's called like like Alley Knights or something, or like yeah, Mickey Mickey Cohen was locked up and it was like a like I saw a real movie. No, no, real movie. I was like, it's crazy, like seeing them. And then um, so yeah, they have like uh all the mugshots of everybody. And then I mean just seeing those cells, dude. Well, it looks like the side floor is not that tall, huh? Five by nine cells is like that space is small, and then when they put their their bed in there, yeah, the bed's there, the toilets butt up to the damn bed, they have little crappy little desks there, and and it's crazy how those guys escaped, those those two brothers and that guy, making that damn the hole there, and they they still have a chase. There's a chase wall between the the cells, uh huh. And they're able to get in that between those walls and climb up and take off. They they were but they were the whole they were talking about what's cool is that when you go there, go up the hill, and you follow the road, and and you put on they have these headphones, these recordings for the tour, yeah. And and it has inmates, um old inmates, and they have correctional officers that were there, and just people narrating. Right. So as you're going through the tour of the prison, the audio's going, like it tells you, like, but now walk to D block or whatever, and then they'll talk about that, and then you know, you can see you can pause it just to look, whatever. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it it's a cool tour. It I I would I would do it, I would do it again for sure. Well, I'm sure they they got different tours of like different parts of it, right? Or is that so there's different there's there's there's a schedule where they have different talks, and then there was like I think a couple of them where they take you certain parts of their you said that yours it was because it got dark or no? Yeah, so when it gets dark, like you go walk outside, man. Do you see the lights of the city? Of the city. Their skyline is badass, man. San Francisco's skyline is so beautiful, like different shapes. Oh, yeah. No, their skyline is it is impressive. It's like it's it's beautiful. And um does the bridge light up? I guess so, or no? Yeah, yeah, I think they have lights under. Yeah, you should. Yeah, yeah. Like red or whatever. Um what's crazy is that okay, so and I didn't even know that after they close on that prison, did you guys know that Indians took over that?

Lano 50:27

Like a reservation?

Mig 50:28

No. There was a group they they call themselves all all tribes, all uh all Indian tribes or something. So I guess any Indian tribes. And they were on the on Alcatraz for 19 months, but they couldn't like they couldn't, I guess, survive, you know, it wasn't enough land, they couldn't grow in thinner. But they I like I didn't even know that. Like when you walk, when you when you're approaching, they'll they'll say welcome to Indian or it says freedom or something like that. Yeah. But I didn't even know Indians had taken over that no, I know I never did that. That Alcatraz. Yeah, it's crazy. That's crazy. So then they was telling us um the boat guy, the guy on the tour, the the boat ride that took us there. He says there's the last living inmate that was there at that living inmate that was like Alcatraz, some that goes there, I guess, during the day. He still visits there and he he wrote a book and he's sometimes there writing or signing the book. Yeah. Barney said he got he bought that book, and he was there when when the man was there, and he had him sign, he has his that book. Oh, it's crazy. So he still he's the last living inmate that still goes to that that island. When did it close? Uh in 60s three.

Lano 51:47

63.

Mig 51:48

Okay.

Lano 51:48

Now does it look like that that swim is doable or no? It does.

Mig 51:54

It does, really?

Speaker 6 51:55

It does.

Mig 51:55

Like it there was one successful guy that did it, even though he made it to the other side. Yeah. But he was caught on their side. But they they said they they credited that he he made it, like he beat, he beat Alcatraz because he made it all the way over there, even though he was all like the cold, like he was all jacked up and they brought him back. The sharks and stuff, or no? No, no, no. No, he he like what the scene is is the temperature of the water and the currents, dude. That's what gets you. Yeah, so he made it all the way across, but he was so messed up like he got caught right away and got brought back. If it's not the currents that fatigues you, it's gonna be the hypothetical that sits in. You're gonna want to look this up, Lano. Like the guy also told us I don't know how or why this thing did it, but he said a coyote swam to Alcatraz. Oh, I heard that. I heard that a coyote swam to Alcatraz, and there's a video of him. And and the guy said that he made it. I've seen it. Yeah, he made it. But that when he got there, because it's like a bird sanctuary, there's a a lot of birds that that are there. California policies are pushing refinement. And as global conflict erupts. Can you hear me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had to get him off the island because he was having a field day with the birds, like he was killing all the birds. Wow. And and um, yeah, so he got it was it was crazy because once he made it to shore, he was like all just like the cold, yeah, I guess. And and he was living there for a little bit, but he was killing all the birds. Crazy bastard. Yeah, dude. It was it was crazy. Like, I go, nah, I gotta see this. And and yeah, they they um they caught him.

Speaker 53:43

Look at it right there, look at that's wild, but I don't even know how this video of the coyote swimming to Alcatraz is going viral, and why wouldn't it? It's apparently the first time anyone's actually documented a coyote making its way to the rock. A white coyote is swimming.

Speaker 1 54:00

He's all like we have people who video of a lone coyote swimming in the bay, its head bobbling above the water as it makes its way to Alcatraz Island. Astonished going with the current and there's it sent Janet Kessler the video. She's a self-talk.

Food Stops And San Francisco Vibes

Mig 54:20

We might want to watch this after on our own, dude, because we might get deemed uh by YouTube copyrights. Yeah, dude. So that but they had to take him up because he was kidding the the birds, and the birds that's crazy to that late he's probably how the hell did he know, like yeah, and he that sucker made it, man. In that cold current. Oh yeah, I didn't think he deserved the buffet that he got, man. Yeah, dude. So that was that was that was trippy. But that that that um that tour, I would do that tour again just because I that the feeling like man, yeah, what these guys must have felt just day in, day out. Like pretty crazy. And at the time, they get locked up, they're thinking that's it, they're lifers. Like this is my life, like I'm in this cell. Done. Yeah. This is the this is all they got. So I was that was trippy, man. That's crazy. So had um, of course, we got clam chowder, best clam chowder. The the better clam chowder I had was at this Italian restaurant we we ate at after the tour. Right after we got out, we walked to this Italian restaurant, had some some bomb um shrimp fiducini pasta. Delicious. There, they had this crab spinach artichoke dip. Ooh, oh my god, that sounds good. That thing was delicious. On that, on that toasty bread, yeah, sourdough, forget about it. Um then um uh had the clam chowder there, that dip. Had the fiducini. We had clam chowder at the bodine bakery, but that that clam chowder over there was better. But you know, the bodine bakery, you get the damn good ass sourdough bread. Yeah, and then like bold, we had two days we had um we ate lobster rolls. Uh cousins marine no cousins main lobster. They're famous, and I think they were at uh when we had it, we had it at um I think Octoberfest. Not Oktoberfest. It was might have been the fair. No, Oktoberfest. It was on Oktoberfest that we had it. That one that we went to the little that little park? Uh no. No, I think it was another one.

Lano 56:38

Well, there were, I mean, I think they're like a two. I don't know. They're like well known for the city. Yeah, no, they're they're well known.

Mig 56:43

Like they were on Shark Tank and all that. Oh man, but these damn things are delicious, man. Were they big? Yeah, they do. They pack it with damn lobster. Nice. They pack it. One one was uh uh uh Connecticut and one was Maine. One's with like a buttery lemon. Right. Um mayonnaise, mayonnaise, oh, like different styles. Oh, the buttery lemon is served kind of co uh cold, and then the other one is is warm. Warm. Yeah. Man, but I dude, it's dangerous because I could eat a bunch of those, man. Because they're they put a lot of lobsters in it, a lot of lobster in it, but they're they're they're good little slices. They're like almost like hot dog bun sized, so they're not really like that big. Yeah. Yeah. Like 20 bucks a pop, or how much?

Lano 57:32

Um 25 now? No. Oh, they weren't that much?

Mig 57:36

No, they weren't that much.

Rick 57:38

Yeah.

Mig 57:39

Um, I saw one homeless, no, I think I saw like two or three. In San Francisco. But it was pretty clean. Yeah. Downtown is way uh downtown LA is way damn dirtier. No, they must have cleaned it up then. I think because they have something coming coming. Maybe I don't know, they got something coming, I think.

Lano 57:58

Well, they just had the Super Bowl, remember?

Mig 57:59

Maybe they cleaned up for that in February. So we did all that and then we walked. I guess at Santa Clara. We walked all the the waterfront. The people were like, we're getting the water. So that was that was a nice walk. We walked about three miles. Walked up. Um, like when you keep walking north towards the Golden Gate Bridge, right? Then there's like a hill that you climb up, and it kind of gets kind of like a foresty feel. Once you get to the top, you come down, then you go to it's uh uh Humble Park, I think it is. It's just a big old grassy area, everybody's chilling, playing volleyball. And and that was cool. They had like a little like going on. No, we were so far. We were just walking because we had we had eight, we ate, and we wanted to walk off our food, and so we just kept walking. We walked to it, like another marina area, kind of like beachy area, and then from there we uh we got an Uber to Golden Gate, Golden Gate Bridge, and then right there, and then that's when we walked it. So, yeah, man, that whole area, that whole damn San Francisco was beautiful, man. The I mean, even though we've been there at the at the wharves, but even walking up that way, okay, like it's real beautiful, man. The bridge is beautiful. I mean, and then we didn't have a car, so we couldn't really like go out venturing away. We were almost gonna do a comedy show on on Sunday night, but it wasn't really showing the who was gonna be there. So it was like, nah, I'm gonna do that. But yeah, man, it was it was a cool trip. I would want to go again because uh Barney Barney says when he went, because he's gone like three times, yeah, that he's even went to go see like some musicals, and I would want to go back to maybe catch a uh comedy show.

Lano 59:50

It looks like they have like nice night. I haven't been to that time.

Naked Gun Letdown And Risen Pick

Mig 59:53

Um like a Italy town where I guess you go to a little park and there's like a little bunch of little stores that circle around it. Called like Little Italy, I think I think it is. Yeah. And I wanted to go to that chocolate place that I remember. I went with Allies. Yeah. But I remember when I went with with Raja and Norma when we all went, but I went with them. We went like up a hill, I remember. But all I could find was that the original one that I guess that was near the waterfront. But and we left it for next for a future trip. Have you have you tightened up my uh movie review?

Lano 1:00:37

Oh no, no, I haven't. Not yet, it's the same long one. You got another movie you want to save for for next week?

Mig 1:00:44

I got two two movie recommend recommendations right now. Yeah, well, I actually well one review, and I wanted to recommend one since it's still Easter. And if we wait if we wait till next week, it'll kind of be irrelevant. Oh, just go. We'll just an older movie, and I just, you know.

Lano 1:01:01

Oh no, we got the movie review. I was thinking about the card break.

Mig 1:01:05

Oh, the card break one is uh the long one. Oh, yeah.

Lano 1:01:09

All right, hold on. Let me let me go. It'll be quick. It'll be quick reviews. Yeah, it'll be quick. It's time for Miggy's movie review.

Mig 1:01:33

Okay. I wanted to so badly, so badly, just kinda even like this movie. Oh, but uh that sucked. Which one? Naked Gun.

Speaker 6 1:01:52

Oh nah, I thought you said that was good. I laughed at it.

Mig 1:01:56

I laughed at it. No, I said, because Seth McFarnan was behind it, he was a producer, that there might be a chance that it's funny. I just saw I thought I couldn't swear.

Lano 1:02:07

You said you saw it in here was good.

Mig 1:02:09

I saw that, but I was like, some of the trailers looked like they were funny, like some of the bits looked like. I had some laughs on it.

Lano 1:02:14

I saw that I thought.

Mig 1:02:16

But I mean, I had some laughs too, but I mean they tried, dude. They they really tried to do the original like try to do the original, but it's it's like you say, the Liam Neeson, he just nah. You just don't buy it. Oh. Oh. So I just saw it and yes. Oh, well, the one, the one, the one, the one gag that I do like that had me laughing throughout the whole movie, dude. They're always handing him cups of coffee. He'll be driving and I had them coming through the door through the car window. Oh, thank you. It's like through the whole movie, dude, they're always handing off cups of coffee. That had me laughing. That was a pretty good gag right there.

Lano 1:03:08

And then the Pamela Anderson scene through the window or the shadows, no?

Mig 1:03:11

You know what, dude? That that was that was stupid. No, I mean, because that that gag had already been played out, you know. It's like Austin Powers already did it. That's true, that's true. You know, they did it in naked gun uh 33 and a third with uh Adam and Nicole Smith. Oh, yeah, you know, so it'd been done already. And then that was the other thing too. It's like um Pamela Anderson were like, really, dude? So they kind of gotten except at old school, yeah. They kept it at an old actress. I mean, from that everything. But the thing is, it's like I didn't even see the appeal to her when she was young. It's like, okay, she's got a giant rack. It's like, but that's it. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's like she's really got nothing else. Boyfriend, she looks terrible. Sorry.

Lano 1:04:02

But yeah, I think they said they started dating after the movie.

Mig 1:04:04

I mean, I I wanted to so bad, dude, to be able to laugh and say that it was cool and I kind of liked it, you know, and it's worth watching, but yeah, dude, don't waste your time. I think you should see it. Yeah, I'll check it out. Um, how would you see it on Paramount, yeah. And then uh the other movie I watched, only cuz um it's Holy Week. And I hadn't seen it, and I I actually thought it was a newer movie than it actually was, but it was released back in 2016. It's called uh Risen. Oh it's with uh Joseph Fiennes. So it's this it's the story of the cruci the crucifix the crucifixion crucifix the devil's got your tongue, or what is it? Yeah, dude, you know, the the resurrection and everything. The crucification of Christ. There we go. But um, like this one Roman soldier, I guess like like the highest level soldier under Pontius Pilate. Uh-huh. They call him um, what do they call him? Um, what was uh they kept calling him something with a T like the the old ah whatever since um like the Roman tribunal or tribune tribune so um he's he's tasked with um kind of calming the crowd because Pontius is like okay, I'm gonna crucify him, you know, just to satisfy the crowd, the the crowd, you know, the Jews, you know, because they're angry because he said he's the king of kings and he's God or whatever, son of God. And I'm gonna satisfy this crowd over here. Here, you know, it's like so everybody's chill, you know. But then they're saying that you know he's supposed to rise again. So Pontius Pilate tells the tribune, he tells him, Okay, I want you to entomb him, but make sure no one can get in or out. So that's why they put like the big stone and everything, you know. So who did that movie? Uh some dude named Joseph Fines.

Lano 1:06:26

Oh, it's stars Joseph Fines and then it's Kevin Randall. Is it Angel Studios?

Mig 1:06:31

I don't know.

Lano 1:06:31

Um 2016. What's the Studios? Columbia Pictures LDE Entertainment. Yeah, I'm not sure.

Mig 1:06:44

But um, you know, so so I'm watching, I just want to watch it to see if uh if it was Hollywood kind of like ruining the story or if they kinda did depict it more or less accurately or whatever. And I I think it was a pretty good movie. You know, it was pretty good. You know, just uh to get like a different perspective on on what went on, you know, it's like this soldier, he was like a huge doubter, you know, and he's just trying to investigate who stole you know the body from the tomb. And so throughout his own investigation, you know, he's chasing down the apostles, you know, and he's chasing down witnesses and everything, you know, but then he he ends up when he finds the apostles, of course, you know, Jesus is with them and dude can't believe his eyes, you know, what he's seeing because he remembers seeing him on the cross. You know, with all the wounds and everything, and you know, it's like he starts showing them. So you know, of course, at the end of the movie he becomes a believer, and you know, it's like I wonder if um Spoiler alert, that's good. You know, it's like I wonder if like one of the the books is written in the Bible. You know, is like you know how like they have like the like Romans you know letter to the Romans or whatever, you know. It's like I wonder if they pulled that movie script or or wrote that script according to based on that, like a book like that, you know, like you know, since I'm not I should be more familiar with the Bible, but I'm not. You know, but I I thought it was a good watch.

Lano 1:08:33

What were you um watching on what's streaming?

Mig 1:08:36

Um actually I saw it on the sci-fi channel. Oh, okay. I'm gonna look for it. Yeah, because they were for some reason they're they're having this stupid marathon called Sandals and Swords or Sandals and Spears. So they sandwiched it right in between like Gladiator and 300. You know, so that's why I was kind of like, okay, well, let me see why they put it here. So I was watching, they shouldn't have put this like categorized right here with this, dude.

Lano 1:09:01

I'm like, I thought it would be like a different, like like a religious category for Easter coming up, the holidays.

Mig 1:09:06

But good movie, you know, if if you want to watch something for Holy Week or something, you know, it is an older movie, but it it it was I thought it was good. I liked it. You know, it's like they didn't they didn't try to like mess up the message or anything, yeah. You know, so right.

Lano 1:09:25

Well, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna check it out because me and my wife are looking for something for Holy Week. Yeah, something for the theme.
