Episode 143 - Pepper Balls And Project Cars

Your weekend can go from “quick errands” to a full-on life audit fast, and that’s basically our energy here. We start with CCW renewal and the firearm safety certificate questions that always pop up right when you realize something might be expiring. Then we get into the real reason the topic matters: driving for work through downtown and tougher areas, and how you think differently when your tools and your crew are in the van. We talk non-lethal self-defense options like pepper ball pistols, what “non-lethal” really means in practice, and why avoiding life-changing legal trouble is part of the safety plan.

From there it turns into classic car reality, not the Instagram version. The Pomona Swap Meet leads us into rising classic truck prices, why untouched projects are getting rarer, and how one unfinished build can kill your motivation for years. We dig into the 342 stroker engine story, smog laws, missing mounts, and the line between smart fabrication and ruining a clean car. If you’re into classic car restoration, project cars, or just the economics of old parts, this section hits hard.

We also get practical: van plans like throttle body fuel injection, rewiring, and the safety stuff people avoid until it’s scary, like sloppy steering. Then we shift into modern convenience problems, from OfferUp selling friction to the Amazon returns maze that sent us to USC Village with a giant box. We wrap with Texas travel stories including Buc-ees snacks, the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco, a Dallas Stars game, great barbecue, a solid breakfast spot, and a final debate about why IPAs are too bitter for some of us.

Studio Chaos And Catching Up

Mig 0:11

Welcome back to the Drifting on Arroyo Podcast. What's going on, everybody? We're back. Oh, what's the studio is falling apart? The curtain. I think the producer is uh skimming off the top, cutting corners. Oh, dang. Not keeping up with maintenance, not paying the cleaning crew. The cleaning crew, and this place is just falling apart. Not good.

Lano 0:48

Well, we have to lose it. I haven't been in the studio.

CCW Renewal And Safety Certs

Mig 0:58

Apologies. Alright. So what's we're back? We're back. I just um over the weekend I did uh my eight hours uh shooting training course to renew my CCW. Oh, you what? Me and Javi. Dude, I think I need to check my um did you apply? No. I need to check my um the certificate, the one you need to what? That that freaking oh yeah. Uh to buy. Yeah, to buy anything. Yep. Oh, it's uh it's probably already over. You gotta redo it. Yeah. It's a card or a paper you guys can. No, yeah, it's a certification. So it'll be up there when it expires. In any like any gun shop or anywhere where they sell guns, they should offer the test. It's like a safety test. No, you know what? Because mine mine was mine showed uh expired I think in 25, huh? I think this month this month in 25 this year. And then I was all worried, I was like, oh, maybe it was 25. I was all worried, and then they're saying, but no, if you have a CCW that oversees that, you don't gotta worry about that. I gotta I gotta check it again. But you're gonna have to take the test again. Yeah. It's easy. Do it over again. Pretty pretty common sense. I went with Javi. Where'd you guys go? Borough, it's Burrow Canyon. We did medicup, take one. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, those dudes are cool, man. Yeah. Yeah, it's a it's a cool program. We're thinking about taking um the bleeding one or no no the the home defense for shotgun. Home defense shotgun. You you have one a shotgun or no? Yeah, I have one. Yeah. Yeah. I won a June June uh oh Juneteenth. Juneteenth. I don't know. I don't know if I want to spend my day off. Taking this shit off? No, isn't it I think it's Saturday? Oh. Because if they're gonna have the course, I think it's on Saturday. Well then you need to go protest something. I think I'm taking that shit off.

Lano 3:14

Um, it's the 19th. It's a Friday. Oh, it's a Friday?

Mig 3:18

It's a Friday, yeah. Oh sh. Why is it always on a Friday? It seems like how do how is it not changed? It seems like it's always damn on a Friday.

Lano 3:26

Well, I think um, well, last week it was in the middle of the week, but it's a Friday this week, yeah.

Nonlethal Options For The Road

Mig 3:33

I don't know. With the freaking frack. Yeah, so we'll probably do that. Me and how we were thinking about that. About doing that. Yeah, have you heard of those uh non-lethal pistols that they sell? Like those burnas? Yeah, burnas. I see the billboards, like they're like orange, right? Yeah, I always see them. Yeah, I've been thinking about getting one of those. So what is that?

Lano 3:53

Stunser, or what is it like?

Mig 3:55

I think it's uh it shoots like pepper balls.

Lano 3:57

Okay.

Mig 3:58

So like in addition to hurting like how when it hits you and probably knock you out. Like a paintball. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like a paintball. It's like a paintball, but filled with uh the pepper spray. And then so when it hits you, like it really hits you, like probably with the that deteriors or deterioration. I should get one. I should get one for carry it around the van. Well, yeah. Because I was thinking about just oh man, I mean, I could carry my what do I need? I need to carry carry my stuff.

Lano 4:23

So will that one would I need that license to carry or I could carry it? No, no, no, no.

Mig 4:28

Nope. That's uh that's the beauty of it. It's because it's non-lethal. Yeah. You know, so you could carry it wherever you could carry it in your car. You know, you could carry it on you. Yeah. Oh, oh amateur left the ringer on. With the yacht rod. I'm just saying, because sometimes, dude, when we're when we're driving around, we're driving around to like downtown or South Central or some shit, dude, and there's just those crowds, man. You know, it's like I'd rather have something that's non-lethal.

Lano 4:59

Because they'll take your tools or something, right?

Pomona Swap Meet And Truck Values

Mig 5:01

Well, yeah, you know, but having something that's non-lethal, that way You don't get in trouble. You just like start, don't hesitate, you know, just start popping off rounds, and you don't gotta worry about someone dying, you know, is that you're able to just like spread, scatter. Yeah, you know, so I well I did that, did that Saturday, then uh went to the swap meet on Sunday. Pomona or the SWAT meet Pomona? Yeah, yeah. Pomona SWAT meet. Yeah, I don't even remember when's the last time I've been to that thing. Yeah, the next one's like June. I think there's only like seven, eight. I had a good cars for sale, man.

Lano 5:37

Well, they had some good ones, yeah.

Mig 5:38

Yeah, you see any trucks like mine? Um, well, I mean fixed up, but like not just like regular long beds like that?

Lano 5:49

Yeah, but like not totally restored, you know, just kind of like you looking for ideas or or no, I want to sell it. Oh, you're gonna sell it.

Mig 5:57

The thing is, because I've been I've been wanting to sell it before when people have offered me. I I thought I offered pretty low price and they didn't want to buy them, but I think they're worth a lot more now. I don't think I don't think I saw any of those.

Lano 6:10

Um What are you looking at to get it replaced?

Mig 6:14

I'm not gonna replace it with anything, I just want to get rid of it. Not gonna do nothing with it just riding away there.

Lano 6:21

Oh, I thought you meant your daily driver. Yeah, your other truck? His old yeah, my old Chevy. Oh, the old Chevy. I thought you meant the old current one, okay.

Project Burnout And The Stroker

Mig 6:32

Um how much were you were you gonna listen for? I mean, what was the last time you listed it? Well, let's put on the last time. Last time call in. Last time I listed it, or you know, people were offering me was maybe about ten years ago. Uh-huh. And I was willing to take like 3,500 for it. Oh, damn. Now I think that truck's worth like maybe like eight or nine. Just because they're becoming so hard to find, then. Why don't you just get it going and drive it around like that? We're gonna get that thing going, man. That shit ain't never gonna happen. Why not? As it is, the water pump went out on my truck and my truck sat there for two weeks before I had a chance to work on it. How the hell am I supposed to get anything else going? I um you I'm gonna uh I mean I could tell Manny to take a picture of it and I'll ask Manny. I got pictures, dude. I'll send you pictures. Send me pictures, I'll send them to Manny. Yeah. I mean, they bought the Fairlane. True. I mean, so yeah. But that truck will be easier to just restore. Because right now it has a nice set of rims on it, like a nice like chrome five spokes, you know, and tires, and the only problem with it is that um the fuel tank has to get cleaned out, and maybe the line's blown out because the fuel's not reaching the carburetor. That's about it. How many cars does Manuel have that are just sitting there that are junk? Three or four? That are just at his house or where? They're not ever gonna hit the road again. They're just junk. Yeah, Manuel, I mean Manuel his four his four-wheel drive. He has the boat on the trailer. He has my truck there. But his truck doesn't, he doesn't want to get rid of his truck. No. And then uh Tony has one of his Subarus there. I think See, I don't know why he doesn't get his truck going. I think they have a Mazda sitting there somewhere. I don't know. I'd take your truck. You already got way too much shit left. I was like, what do you got at what project that you have at your house right now? I thought you had some cards too. I'm about to hit my stride right now. I'm gonna get all these things put together. When you get it all done? I got I got I got uh well my my Silverado that I'm gonna finish putting back together. No the break, but that's just I just need a little bit of time to start putting it there. Yeah, that's that's that's always safe for like five, six years. Yeah, but you have you have more time, you have more time than me. Yeah, but I got no space. I got nowhere to work on it. I got no and we're gonna driveway's empty. What about tools? Bring the truck. You have the work truck, the mobile, you're a damn mobile mechanic. I can't park it in the driveway. I'm gonna be leaving it outside. Well, it doesn't fit in the driveway. No, it doesn't. That's why you you you think I don't think about this shit, dude? Yeah, I if you can make it happen, you just don't want to make it happen. Yeah, I mean, my my days of working on cars like that, they're done. The passion's gone. I just don't feel like doing it anymore. Give me that all you want, dude. It's been like that forever, man. It's been like that for a long time. That fairling just took it all out of me. Not being able to finish that fairling took it all out of me. Like I could see that, you know. Oh, I don't know. And then that too. I still got the that damn engine just sitting there. Yeah, but you don't freaking almost like 700 horsepower board engine. What do what do you want to do? I gotta fall it. Yeah, I gotta find someone in the winning salad. You know, or winning the board. You don't do nothing, you don't make no moves. You just let it sit there. You don't do nothing with it. That's what I'm saying. I don't know. It is what it is. I don't know, it's awkward science. Anybody else want to buy an engine?

Lano 10:55

342 stroke you bought that engine for the uh Fairlane?

Mig 10:58

342 stroker. I built it. Well you built it all not for the Fairlane, but that's what I had in the Thunderbird when I was racing it. Oh, I don't remember the thunder. So once I couldn't keep the Thunderbird anymore due to smog laws, had to get rid of the the car, but I kept all the guts. That for law when Bianco comes becomes governor.

Lano 11:23

I heard something like they call something like the J Leno law. Something about smogs.

Mig 11:28

Well, yeah, I mean, but you're you're talking about like maybe like 20 years ago.

Lano 11:32

Well, I thought I thought I thought I heard in the news recently.

Van Plans And Steering Safety

Mig 11:34

No, I'm saying my my situation was 20 years ago. Oh so then I yanked the engine out of there, and I was trying to find something small, a little compact. I wanted to find like a little a little Ford Falcon or like a little ranchero or something cool, just put that engine in. And you know, I came across this fair lane, and I seen that it did come with Ford small blocks. I'm like, okay, cool, you know, it will it'll go in there. The car was an original big block car, and to be able to get the engine in there, I couldn't find any mounts for the small blocks. Nobody, dude. I mean, I mean, so much Ford shit out there, dude. Trip after trip after trip to the swamp meet. No one had these freaking mounts, dude. You had to do uh the frame mounts. Uh like a fabricator, do it. Yeah, that's what it that was everybody's solution. Cut cut off what's there right now and weld in some other brackets, weld in your own brackets. I'm like, no, dude. I'm like, this car is way too nice to start chopping it up. I'm like, this is not I'm possibly like the second or third owner of this car, and I'm not gonna chop it up to get this engine to fit in there. Manny's brother-in-law has a 66 Fury. And they put his his buddy Miller, they put a damn LS motor in there. Or uh, no, well, I'm sorry, uh a hemi motor thing from Dodge, because he works for Dodge. Oh this thing barely fits in the damn compartment. And and uh his buddy Chris had to make motor mounts for it to be able to fit the thing, whole thing in there. This the this engine and the the triny. What do you say? It was like probably like 20 G's or 20s 20 something for that engine and the triny. But man, that that damn Fury's nice, man. Fury's a badass, dude. But he has it so he has that Fury and then he has his his his convertible Nova. His I think it's like a 63 Nova or 65, I think. No, I think it's 65. And this thing, I mean he has them all like are like original, like everything's the the the interior's all original, the the moldings, everything's all original. Except for the Nova, he put uh he took the theok it off the tree, yeah, and he put a floor-mounted shifter on the bottom. Okay of the of the Nova. And then on the Fury, well the Fury was automatic and and they made it uh manual. Yeah. Yeah, so but everything like you look at the car, it's all just the original molding and original interior and all that, and the original dash. But those damn cars are beautiful, man. Yeah, they are. I remember when you a parts guy passed away a while back, uh, Gary from West Trucks. Oh, yeah. He had a he had a nice fury, dude, and he would always be going to Erwindell to run it. Yeah. That that thing was nice, man. True his buddy Chewy also has a Nova convertible. Okay. And and that one I think is uh is a 65 super sport. And and um he still has his straight six in it. And and I I was telling uh because they went and they took their cars over to the show. And I uh I was hanging out, we we saw them a little bit, and then I was telling uh I was right there with his buddy Chewy and I told him I was like, yeah, me, I go, me and Chewy are the only ones that are gonna have novas with still with the straight six in it. They go, because that's how I'm I'm making um Bandy's guy, his engine guy. Yeah, has my nova has my Nova engine he's working on. So I go, we're gonna we're gonna make t-shirts that just say, just say that etro six. Gotta come up with some kind of logo with uh with the saying that etcho six. Yeah, so as soon as I I mean I gotta bring that that damn Nova back down. I mean I'm already I I think I'm gonna be flip-flopping. As soon as I get my damn truck out of there, my Toyotas, they're putting in the new engine in it. So I have those two damn trucks running, and then I can just get the damn vanning just so I can move it around too, and be take my time doing the interior and all that, because my event, my my dad's van, I'm just gonna damn care coat the outside, have them just you know, fix whatever, like the top, whatever the holes are on the top, cover them up, and then since my dad said he painted, he painted that van. So I don't wanna I don't wanna paint, I don't wanna paint it. I just just clear it. Just care coat the the top. Maybe just paint the top. The roof. Maybe paint that, but everything on the sides that he painted, I just want to care coat everything there. Maybe powder coat the the rims, powder coat the rims white, and then just then just work on the interior like that. But I want to do the I want to have the the van fuel injecting. So I want to get that um the throttle body. Yeah, fuel injection throttle body. Um I'm gonna redo the whole all the electrical. I'm gonna redo the electrical on that one, and the Nova I have the whole kit for that, for that one, for the whole electrical kit. And then the most important the most important safety thing on the van that you're forgetting, there's the steering. Yeah, that's sloppy ass steering, dude. Um I don't know how to do it. But he said he put like a Chevy box, a steering box in there. I don't know what the hell he put in it, dude. Yeah, I'll figure it out. It was because power steering was available on that on that van. Was it? Yeah, it should have been. I think it was available. So I just gotta find the right steering box. Because I I think I want to say that's what he did. That's what he said. He put a Chevy steering box in it. I think that's what he said. I don't know, man, but that thing's so sloppy, dude, that yeah. It's a miracle we're still alive. Or maybe I just keep it at that. Because that way no one can drive it.

Lano 18:03

That's the thing with me. Like, um, like my VW, I was gonna like, oh, I'll fix it up for the girls, but then like the safety centers and stuff, I don't want them like driving it. You know what I mean? You understand? Like, like there's no airbag, there's no fraction controls. I still haven't? No, no, we I ended up selling it. Oh no, the the white bug? Yeah, the white one. Yeah, no, you can still got rid of that a long time ago. I ended up selling it, but I was thinking like I want to save it for the girls, but then then I don't want them driving it, so it's like changed everything.

Mig 18:33

That that area with the bug, the bugs, is is a lot smaller now.

Lano 18:38

Oh, really? At the Pomonoswami?

Mig 18:40

Yeah. Well, it's the same, still the same area, but there's not a lot of people out there.

Lano 18:45

So you think that's um like that hobby's kind of dying, or are the people aging out?

Selling Parts Online And Chrome Wars

Mig 18:51

I just think original stuff that people are lying around their houses getting less and less. Man, the prices are are crazy, man. Just the original stuff on off of old cars and stuff. Yeah. I think I saw like a couple of just arm arm guards or armrests for I think like a Monte Carlo or something. Or like they were asking for like 900 bucks for those damn things. Damn. But it's like that's the OG ones that you know I mean. It's like how how dedicated are you to putting everything back? Yeah, which I mean, which getting back to the original point, my my truck. That's why I think it's worth a lot more now. Because there's less and less of them available. Especially if people want a project, like they want something that hasn't been touched or messed around with.

Rick 19:41

Yeah.

Cassette Nostalgia And Amazon Carts

Mig 19:43

That's what this one is. I mean you you you don't put it up on offer up? You haven't got no heads. I was I was gonna do it the other day, and what was I looking at? I was on offer up, I was on there and I was trying to what stopped me from doing it? There was something stupid on there that it wanted me to do. I couldn't just post it. I couldn't just load up pictures and post it that there had to go through some process. I well, you gotta have your account and I think they'll maybe allow you, I don't know, like two, maybe three things you can post. Because I opened you gotta pay. I opened the account years ago, dude, when offer up was like a brand new thing. Yeah. So I don't know. I mean, I'm sure a lot of stuff has changed. Because back then it was easy, it was just you post your pictures, you put, you know, you fill out the information, yeah, and you leave a contact, and that's it. I think now when you post multiple things, you gotta pay. Because I was I was able to sell when we were moving from Alhambra, I was able to sell a lot of my car parts. Like I sold rims, I sold tires, I sold the the slicks that I had. Oh, yeah, yeah. I was able to sell those. You know, some dude from Offer Up came and got them. I sold um, what did I sell? Some guy, something off the wagon. Some guy from Arizona was was in town. He bought this stuff. You know what it is? I'm I mean, I doubt it, but I just want to take a shot on that. I have that old uh power glide, that two-speed power glide that was in the Nova. I go, I don't know if anyone would want to buy that shit. No, I mean someone wants to keep it period correct. Yeah. There there could be that one person out there looking for a power glide. Manny says, like, nah, it's junk, no one's gonna want it. I'm like, dude, shut up, dude. You're fucking you wouldn't fucking buy it. Yeah. Not not everybody is you, Manny. Yeah. Like, like I was telling him, like asking him like like if there's still like chrome, like people that fix chrome, like the grills and bumpers and all that they chrome out. He's like, you gotta talk to the to the low rider guys because they had called they chrome everything. And he's like, nah, he goes, the front, you gotta, you gotta powder coat it and fucking paint it and this and that. The van. I'm like, nah, man. He's like, nah, nah. Chrome is dead. It's like, whatever. I go, no, you need just a little bit of chrome on the on the damn front. Chrome is dead. He's like, he goes, nah. He goes, it look better, powder coated. I'm like, no. I go, I fucking want it. Chrome. I go, I want the thing, damn chrome. I go, and that's exactly what I said. I go, it's not your van. It's my van. I go, get over it. He's like, you're not gonna be, you're not gonna be polishing the interface. I'm like, it's just one bumper. I go, I'm not, I'm not polishing a damn hardly. Wow. Like I'm not, I I go, I know my days are over from damn spending that kind of time fixed cleaning my my my cars, but I think I can manage with just like one bumper or or the grill. Like the grill's not even that big. It's like it's not that big, but yeah, that's what it is. Like Manny would be like his way, his way is like, nah, you gotta damn fight him back on that shit. Well, but then I walking around, I saw his little um his little boombox with a cassette. And then it reminded me like, oh, I was starting home, but he's like, hey, does it still record? Can you can you play the radio and then drop in a tape? You know, yeah, recording we used to record KD back in the day. He's like, nah, he goes, the thing doesn't spin fast enough for for it to record, it won't because it won't work. And he has some old school damn boom boxes there. I was like, damn, I should have damn bought one of those damn things. I gotta find something that plays cassettes, dude, because I still got all my collection there. I mean, well that I mean he's got a gang of tapes there, man.

Lano 23:47

You don't have any type of player, cassette player? I saw this thing, it was for the walls, like a record player, cassette player, and a CD player. You can you can find I mean just go.

Mig 23:56

I'm not sure, yeah. But do you want looking something old school looking that you can play it? That you can hear it the way we we heard it back then. No, I actually what I would want is something so I can hear it in my truck while I'm driving. That's what I would want. An auxiliary input. Then I mean I miss hearing those things driving. Um maybe like a a uh a cassette player that connects to the auxiliary, and then uh Yeah, I don't know. Look it up, Lano. Find it. It's stupid because every time Amazon I'm on Amazon, I try I try to sit there and I think I'm like, what the hell did I want to search for? I can never remember the stuff that I want to like the oddball stuff I want to search for. Oh never remember. And then I'll be driving or I'll be at work and I'll be like, oh shh, that's what I wanted to check for. That's what I wanted to see if it feels if they had it. Yep. And same thing. That's why I gotta like get on it right there and then and and and put it in, and that way it's already like you know, recently viewed.

Lano 25:12

Then do you guys add it to your list? I always add everything to my list. Uh yeah, I'll add it to the cart.

Mig 25:17

I'll add it to the cart.

Lano 25:18

Well, not the cart, I just add it to a list, so then when it drops, like I'll show you like it.

Mig 25:21

Either that or you just you just click on it and look, and it'll have the history of what you browsed.

Lano 25:26

True.

Tool Finds And Oil Change Upgrades

Mig 25:30

If you look at my cart, man, I got like a thousand dollars worth of crap on there, and then I'll go and I'll wipe it out, and then I'll fill it up again. And you're in a hit place order. Yeah, no. That's why you put it in the cart and then you put it save later. Oh. And then you go down and you see. I always just leave it unchecked. So when I go check out, and if I see the total, like say I'll buy something for like 20 bucks or something, and I go and see the total's like 500, I'm like, whoa! What the hell? Then I'll go and I'll check off everything. I bought some I bought some cool little um stubby ratchets. Really, really cool tight spot. Um one's um Tony. Tony ratchet. That also has like an where you can it's a small ratchet, 3/8, and it has the square, the 3-8 drive where you can attach another ratchet to make it longer, but you have a little small palm thing. And then uh the other one is uh uh what was it? Uh a vessel. You ever see those circular ones? Yeah, like kind of the widgets or fidgets or whatever it you spin. Yeah, it's just Chelsea's are pretty cool. Um oh, there was another tool I was gonna send you guys. Oh, this guy. This guy, I don't know who makes them, but this guy, I guess he does a lot of oil changes because he has a lot of cars in his house. And he had this mean setup, like with this vacuum that he connects to the top of the engine. He takes the cap off, puts the engine on, he'll turn the vacuum on. He'll turn the vacuum on so that way he can take the drain plug off and it won't drain. And then when but he has it like rigged up where he has it on a on a switch that he controls. So when he's underneath the car and the vacuum's going, he because it's a vacuum. Yeah, yeah. And if the holes goes and he connects it to the whether you pour the oil. And he and to turn it on, he's on a like a remote switch or like a switch from long. So when he's underneath the car, like he he breaks the drain plug, turns it on, and then that way he can remove the drain plug, and then it doesn't fall, and then once as soon as he turns it off, it starts draining because it's like sucking the engine up. I don't know. That seems like a pretty big expense just to Yeah, but no, it's something that he rigged up. Oh so he I mean all that shit. But and then this other thing that he had bought that someone made was um this this oil pan. This oil pan that's that's uh just a square metal pan on four wheels that you can roll underneath the car. Like he has his car on the ramps, yeah. And then it's a square pan, has four wheels, has the the screen on top, and then it's like on a handle so you can just push it in. But you so you fill it, right? You drain whatever, you pull it back, and then when you come back out to to to pump it out, this thing has a pump attached to it. Then that way you can pump it out and it makes it easier to we got. And I was and I was thinking, like, man, that's pretty cool. It was like, but I was like, I mean, really is it that damn you really need that? Like, I mean, that'd be nice for cars, no. I mean, if you have a lot of cars that you're doing it, maybe but we have one, but ours is like a 15-gallon capacity. And I we use it when we're doing the oil changes on the rigs. Oh it has that pump to pump out, yeah. And it's just a square. Just a square. I mean, I thought that was pretty cool because sometimes when you when you damn when I'm when I'm emptying out the damn oil pan is like into a five-gallon bucket. It's like I don't want to splash anywhere, and then I I leave the damn oil pan like dripping there. Okay, well, before when we would do the oil changes, we had just like this um, you know those big blue 55-gallon plastic containers, where we just have the bottom portion cut off. It'll hold maybe like 15 gallons or so. And that's where we were always draining everything in. And I would have to like carefully lift that thing up, hold it off to the side, and then try to pour it in. For years, dude, I did that for years, man. I'm talking about like 10-15 years. I did that. That's why I think my back's all messed up. It'd be better to just get a pump in there. Well, that's why when when when we started doing the whole trains again on these big because an oil transfer pump. Because right now, these smaller trucks are all coming with uh Cummins engines, uh-huh, and they all hold about 20 quarts. So, what I've been able to do is just stick a bucket under there. Because a five-gallon bucket will hold the contents of the draining the pan perfect. Uh-huh. So we've been doing that for a long time. But now that we started doing bigger engines, you know, manual saw that little cart, and he's like, hey, you want me to get that? Dude, we need to get something, dude, because I can't, yeah, I can't be doing that anymore. He's like, I'm I'm messing myself up. And it's just getting worse and worse. And yeah, it's pretty pretty slick. Then you just slide it under there. But what's nice, what's cool about it, what's nice, is that when you're under there, and you could double it as your as your pad when you take off the filters. Oh, yeah, yeah. And put the filters on top and let the filters just start draining and everything. And put, whoa. What was that? I think uh studio's haunted. The bucket.

Lano 31:14

Was it on camera?

Mig 31:15

That's your bucket, dude. I mean whose bucket is that? Whose house are we at? Oh the kids maybe always want to blame the kids for everything, dude. Why don't you ever mat up and take responsibility? It fell from my hair. I don't know how you had it. Alright, we'll have to fix it. I don't know how you had it hang hanging right there.

Lano 31:37

Was it on this hook? I don't know. I don't know. We'll find out. I'm gonna look on the camera, I'm gonna see how it came down. Well, anyway, maybe maybe you got it on your camera.

Storage Moves And Obsolete Parts

Mig 31:50

Not mine. So we got that little cart, pretty, pretty nice, dude. The only thing that'll make it nicer is if the pump was like battery operated. Oh you know, or or maybe um we were thinking about putting like a drill, like taking off the crank handle and just on the shaft put the drill. That way it pumps it out faster. But it it does it does a pretty good job though. You guys should have already um a little generator. Predator or jocko damn generator. You got one? Like Jackery or Blue Blue Eddy or something? That won't that won't pump the it won't be enough power. So well yeah, but we still gotta fix it up. The pump on the cart, uh-huh. We still gotta fix it to be able to hook something up to it with power. When you bought the cart, it wasn't ready just to plug in and pump. They sell them to already with power ones where you just hook up on like a 12-volt source. I wonder um if if that Milwaukee I don't know if there's a transfer pump for oil where you it's cordless. Like say, say I uh because like I have a uh water transfer pump from Milwaukee. Maybe I at uh Harbor Freight they got us something for like oil. Or I wonder if that one if that damn Milwaukee one would do it. Maybe it's for for oil too. I mean I would try it.

Lano 33:38

Electric generator, Tricky? You have one for the house or no?

Mig 33:41

No, I'll see him on getting one. Yeah, I've been I've been we know we want to get one for the new storage because when we the storage that we moved to. Well, uh even the old storage, we didn't have damn power, but the same company or something. Oh yeah, same company, cube work. It was just right there in the city of industry, and we it's just like um instead of it being off of the turnball and gale, yeah, we're off of uh Valley and Stimson. I better because they're doing a lot of construction on that street, dude. It's all messed up. That shit has pissed me off, man. Like that thing, they're never gonna finish, man. I know, man. And I used to drive down that street all the time to get to Soto. Yeah, and it's like forget that. Yeah, those idiots are taking bothering anymore.

Lano 34:24

Are they doing that like under the train? I don't know what the hell they're doing on the train. I don't know. It's just stupid, man.

Mig 34:30

They're taking fucking forever. Yeah. I would have to start going around. Oh no. Well, instead of coming down turbo, instead of going down turbo, just going down 7th, and then until that little right at Arco Street, and I go turn on Arco. That's uh Don Julian. And then and then right there is where I come out. And then the the like during Christmas, it was all messed up because all the damn trucks that were um had all that merchandise. That was all jacked up. But the new space is better because we it's double the size. So way better, man. More comfortable, more, more spacious. Yeah. We got an organiz have been arranging all that stuff. They they those those poor dudes have had them them going through all the mess and everything. They they did they did a good job, man. Splitting everything up from the mess that we got, then there's a lot of shit that we throw away. Yeah. That's that's what I guess. You get you come across something, you're like, oh, maybe just throw us an offer up or whatever. It's like, man, just fucking throw it away, dude. That's what that's what everybody tells us, dude, because we got so many old parts there. They're you know, they're pretty much for California, obsolete. And they're like, well, put them on eBay or whatever. And like, you know how much of a pain in the ass that shit is? Yeah. You put it up there and then you gotta worry about shipping things, heavy stuff, right? Like, yeah, yeah. It's like it's like dude, well, yeah. Well, no, because the thing is, none of those trucks are on the road here anymore. So who's gonna buy that to SWAT meet?

Lano 36:12

Oh, yeah. You gotta go to like a different state Swap Meet. Yeah, you know, different state SWAT meet.

Amazon Returns And USC Village Maze

Mig 36:19

So um it's just like it it's stupid, dude. And the pain in the ass and shipping and everything. I had I just uh finished um buying a headlamp assembly for one of one of the trucks, one of my customers on the big rigs. But uh, I didn't pay attention and I ordered the wrong year. I thought I had ordered for a 22, but the thing only set up to 2020. So after that, of course, it changes. So I had to return it, and I bought it on Amazon because real cheap. At the dealer, they wanted like three grand for it, and I don't know how, but on Amazon you buy a cheap China one, and it's like 200 bucks. You know, so I I ordered it, got it in, saw that I was wrong, put it back in the case, did the started the return process. And I don't know why Amazon does this shit, but it always asks you where you want to return it. And you know, so I'm fine with that because I was always going to the Staples right there in East LA off of uh Atlantic, right by ELAC. That was my my spot that I always choose to do all my returns for anything.

Lano 37:30

Uh-huh.

Mig 37:31

So I was expecting that to come up on the list.

Lano 37:33

Staples? The office store or something? Yeah. They take returns? I didn't know.

Mig 37:37

Yeah. So um, for some reason, there wasn't an option for this headlight that I bought. It was a huge box, big, real big box. Uh-huh. And I'm like, why won't they give me the option to take it to a staples? You know, it's a big store. I'm sure they get big delivery trucks there in everything. It's like, it's like, where do they send where they where they send me instead? I gotta go to USC Village to a little freaking Amazon thing that's in there.

Lano 38:09

Uh-huh. And park like whatever.

Mig 38:11

Yeah. I'm like, what's you can do a UPS store? I could, but I gotta pay an extra freaking seven bucks. Oh. But leave me next time. I'm gonna do it if it sends me over there. But is it free through the stables? Yeah. It gives you a list of free options and then other options where you gotta do. But it wasn't. You would think, dude.

Lano 38:36

They're changing a lot of stuff. Like sometimes like you go to Amazon. Sometimes it'll list those.

Texas Trip Logistics And Delays

Mig 38:41

It feels something stupid, like I bought a shirt and I want to return it. Yeah. You know what made me return it to USC or whatever. But something big and bulky like that, dude, you would think it would see my address and everything, it would send me to a UPS store somewhere more capable of handling the big box like that. Yeah. Nah. Go to USC Village. And then not only that, but since I'm not familiar with the place, the stupid address that they give you, I was driving around in circles for half an hour then trying to find it. Driving into like student housing until I finally came across that it's first of all, the GPS sends you to all these streets where the gates are locked. So you can't go in. And then you drive away and it starts reclucking it. It just wants to send you back to the same place that was locked. Yeah. So I'm like, you know, this is this is stupid. And so I started remembering that it was like near Trader Joe's or some shit. So, and turns out it's right on Jefferson and Hoover. There's like a whole little area right there. A little plaza. Yeah. It's in there. Oh, okay. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. And so once I drove down there and I turned from Jefferson onto Hoover and passed by the front of it, I could see it like all the way in the back. I'm like, you son of a bitch, man. It's like, what the hell are you sending me two blocks over for if the damn place is right here? And that then only found it because I drove in, finally found out where I could drive in to get to the address that the stupid thing's sending me. Uh-huh. And there was a kiosk there with some dude. And I asked him, hey, man, where was the freaking Amazon ad dude? I'm trying to make a return, and this is where the GPS is sending me. Uh-huh. He's like, Oh, it's those buildings over there. I'm like, God. So yeah, there I am going over there and shit, and such a pain in the ass. But I'm just glad I did it on a Saturday. Oh shit. Nah, yeah. You know, because I was there was no way I was gonna go there during the week. And but even that, it was so busy, dude, because I saw that the store didn't open till nine. Uh-huh. So I waited and I was there at nine on the dot. I was driving around so much that I didn't get into that store until like 9 30. Dang. Yeah, I know. Even at that, at that early hour, it was so busy, the whole area. Well, yeah, because you know, because damn USCs are then something about no event parking here, you know, whatever. So they were gonna have some shit going on somewhere around there. And it's just it's it's stupid to me, dude. It's like, why are you sending me here? You know, it that all happened because people were abusing the damn return policy with returning all the bullshit. I guess, man, but I mean now they I mean just like Nano says, they they're they're switching up a lot of stuff because people are were abusing the whole damn return policy thing. It's like it sucks, but dude. Such a pain in the ass. You know, you know, uh I forgot to tell you guys, I went to uh um I went to damn uh Texas like a couple weeks ago. You know, and I went to um between the last show? Yeah it was not last weekend. On the weekend. Oh not this weekend? Last weekend? Yeah, two weekends ago. So yeah, two weekends ago. Um we went to go visit, we went to go visit uh Happy birthday, Meg.

And I and we there was like I was gonna try to meet up with James. He was like about he think he said he was about 45 minutes from that. He's Austin? So that's near near Dallas, no? No. So Dallas So Dallas is like in the middle, then Austin's like south. So Denton, I guess where James is at. I think is northwest of Dallas and Waxahatchie. Well I'm Waxahie. Dallas is the nearest north is northeast. So that's Dallas is like the central, I guess, big, big city. What airport did you fly into? It was the Fort Worth. Okay. Oh, Fort Worth. Um, finally, finally, uh, went to go see uh Bucky's. Oh, how was that? The Bucky store is crazy. Did you try you? I heard you got to try a bunch of foods and stuff. Dave, you could just go get damn uh brisket. I got a damn brisket slice sliced brisket sandwich. How was it? It was good. I mean, it's good just to like you, hey, you want a damn quick little barbecue bird uh sandwich? Yeah. Yeah, it's good. But it's not gonna compare to like a damn uh uh barbecue spot.

Lano 44:19

But I hear people just go there for the food, like they'll try it with different stuff.

Mig 44:22

Yeah, I mean it's good, it's good. Those damn jerkies and all the beavernuts, yeah, those beaver nuts. Those things are good, they're like uh like the corn pops, but like with like a um like a sweet damn glaze on it or something. Okay, okay. But those are good, man. Those are addicting, man. And then they're uh I think the also the pecans, no? The pecan, the preline pecans. Yeah, they have those and they serve them like warm or some shit. You know what? Yeah, they have pecans, they have almonds, but we got almonds, and I think they were. You said you're in uh Waxa Chichi, or what is it? Waxahi.

Lano 45:06

And Denton is where James is at. Where's where's uh uh Denton? I don't see it.

Mig 45:14

I mean, there's this guy that I was I was I did used to follow him a lot, watch a lot of his uh YouTube videos, a big foodie guy. He's um I think of Thai descent, uh-huh. You know, so he can handle like spicy, you know, but I would like watching him and I found a lot of places to eat because of him. And um he went to a Bucky's and he actually made this list of like 10 or 15 things.

Lano 45:42

I seen something like that.

Mig 45:44

Where they said he had to try all that stuff. Uh-huh. And like so he tried like breakfast sandwiches, he tried all the barbecue ones. He tried snacks, he tried the jerkies and everything. This this but when when I seen him eating those barbecue sandwiches, dude, they look so good. I mean, it's it's it's bumming. They're they're cutting all the slices of meat right there. But I think I think he ate one that was like a chopped beef, and they just throw the barbecue on it. So it's kind of like Oh, yeah, they have the the barbecue sauce where you can dump out. So it was like um those old school like dairy queen barbecue sandwiches. Oh, yeah. Remember those are like kind of like a shredded beef almost? Yeah, because you can get you can get it, I think the shredded or sliced. Yeah. The brisket. I think I would have gotten it shredded. Yeah.

Lano 46:31

Tell me, um, this got me excited. The Bucky's, it's the size of a Target, the size of a Costco. How big was it? I know they're different sizes.

Mig 46:37

It's the size of a Target. It's the size of a Target. Yeah. They got so much crap in there. Clothes and then food and clothes and then outdoor sections.

Lano 46:46

I heard even the bathrooms are nice in there. I mean, I don't know. I heard that they keep everything clean.

Mig 46:51

They got like showers and all that stuff too, no? Yeah, their truck shops. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they got they they got everything except um Vanessa needed some makeup foundation and they didn't have that. But yeah. I bought I bought a muscle shirt.

Lano 47:08

Well, here's Denton, it's north, it's up here.

Mig 47:11

North of that. Oh, okay, there you go. He said it was 40.

Lano 47:17

He's farther than he's more oh yeah.

Mig 47:25

Well, what we're gonna try is is meet up in Dallas. What I gotta do is I gotta I gotta make a trip out to the with the primos. I gotta I gotta take time and go see the primos. No. Oh well, him too, but no. With Felipe and Philip. Oh, okay. It's been it's been too long since I've been in El Paso. I gotta I gotta I gotta make up a I gotta get a couple days off and head over there. Um, but we did um we did Bucky's. That was that was crazy. We got beef jerky there. I brought it up. So what was your favorite thing? The beef jerky? Um the beaver nuts were good. I liked I like the beaver nuts. Did he have did he have a cinnamon roll when he went? I think there's some pastries talking about it. Like they have a crazy little bakery thing there. Yeah, that thing. I think he might have had a cinnamon roll. Yeah, those those, I think like a cinnamon, no? Or like a something like that. Yeah, even that their little bakery area. Yeah, yeah, they even that was crazy, dude. I'm gonna I'm gonna go back, I'm gonna look up that video, I'm gonna send it to you. Yeah, it's a good thing.

Lano 48:35

I see what's too, where some guys from like London go crazy.

Dr Pepper Museum And 10-2-4

Mig 48:38

And and the big, I mean, you you already know the big thing in in in Texas, I guess, is is Dr. Pepper. We went to uh we went to Waco, Texas, to the Dr. Pepper Museum. So I I mean I know that because I love Dr. Pepper. Yeah, Dr. Pepper, my favorite. How many days were you there? It was uh so we left Thursday. Where did he cover that also? Because I think I did see something about Thursday and we got back on Sunday.

Rick 49:10

Yeah.

Mig 49:11

Yeah. Thursday night. We left Thursday night and then got back or Thursday morning. Thursday morning got back Wednesday. I mean Sunday, Sunday. But then that Dr. Pepper Museum was cool, man. We made our own sodas, made our own flavors. Nice. Um they had the three-story thing, the whole history of how Dr. Pepper, you know, came about. Yeah. Yeah, the the 23 flavors. How was it?

Lano 49:38

Did they have it fresh? Like, was it better there than anywhere else, or it's just the same can you drink?

Mig 49:42

Um, I mean, it was I mean, the the one that we made that the the water wasn't carbonated enough. So it was real sweet. But no, I mean, I I was yeah, the the Dr. Pepper was good over there. I mean, I mean, if it was like I had a Dr. Pepper float. That's that thing was delicious, man. I didn't uh vanilla ice cream. You know, that's one thing I've never had to do is a float. It just I I I didn't wouldn't get a float because I don't like root beer. So I wouldn't, it's always like a root beer float. No, but I mean they said you can even do it with coke or whatever, but to me it just seemed like that combination doesn't work. Man, that thing was was bomb. It's crazy. That thing was bomb. But that way, it was cool just seeing the whole history of the Dr. Pepper. I got I got an old school um about an old school Dr. Pepper shirt. Kind of like the Napoleon Dynamite shirt. Oh, okay. The red and white shirt. Um it said uh pep. Like an old uh baseball shirt. Yeah. No, no. Like the dress or not? No, just uh the thin shirt that's tight. Like tight. It's not a baseball shirt. I did, but I wanted um I wanted a shirt that said uh 104-2. They had a uh a promotion. I saw something about that, yeah. Was there a Dr. Pepper thing back in the day? Where do you know what the 104-2 means?

Lano 51:09

Like spices and seasoning or something? I don't know.

Filthy Fortunes And Picking Shows

Mig 51:12

No. No, the 10 the 104-2 was a slogan that they had way back in the day because what it referred to was to have a Dr. Pepper at those hours at 10, at 2, and at 4. No, uh 10 2-4, yeah. 10 2-4. 10-2 and 4. Because they figured throughout the work day that's when your energy's the lowest. Yeah. Oh, and so when you need like a little pick me up, pick me up, little energy hit, pepper, it would be 10 10, 2, and 4. Yeah. That you have a Dr. Pepper. Yeah. And I never knew that. And as I was watching something, yeah. That was cool. I wanted to find, I thought I was gonna find a shirt that had that. Just Dr. Pepper or something that said 10-2-4. But nah, they didn't have that to do. I want to say, because I'm really into this show now that's called Filthy Fortunes, where it's a combination of like hoarders and American pickers. Oh, okay. So this company, this dude goes in there and agrees to like usually it's people that inherited a house of a hoarder or something like that, and they want to clear it out because they either want to sell the house or they want to live in it, or they want to make it livable or whatever. And they always say that, you know, it's like, yes, he was a hoarder, but he was a collector, you know. So I remember him having this, this, and this, you know, like big items, you know, like maybe like you know, like with me, it would be like a card collection. Yeah, you know, it's like so he's probably got like Barry Sanders autographs in there and this, that, whatever, you know, and um, so they go in there, they they start cleaning stuff out, they throw away the trash, but they like try to look for the the treasures, you know, and a lot of times they come across, you know, where people have like silver coins and shit and just stuff like that. And I think it was on there that I saw a sign or what? They were doing something where they some they found like a big collection of Dr. Pepper or something. Yeah. Because I think that's where I found out that it was explained about the two the 10-2-4. Yeah. Yeah, but that was cool. Yeah, but if you guys get a chance, check out that show. Filter Fortune is pretty cool. Where is it on? It's on uh I believe Discovery.

Lano 53:37

Oh, come on, look for it.

Mig 53:38

It's on it's uh comes out on Sundays.

Lano 53:41

Is it one season, right?

Mig 53:43

No, they're on their second season.

Lano 53:44

Second season episode no. Oh, okay.

Mig 53:46

Yeah, yeah, that's it.

unknown 53:49

Alright.

Mig 53:50

Cool show, dude. I I really dig it. You know, it's like it's funny, you know, because I think I think they're a little ridiculous because sometimes they're like they do their their uh pricing. They'll tell the owners it's like, oh, it's gonna be like 20 grand, you know, to clean out, like my fee to clean out. But I think in the stuff that I've seen, you have like maybe like 80,000 worth of stuff we can sell. You know, so if we deduct my cleaning fee from there, it's like whatever's profit. Sometimes they'll say we'll split it 50-50 or we'll split it 60 40 or like whatever they agree to. Uh-huh. You know, so it's pretty cool. You know, it's a little different, you know, a little change of pace on the show. So I like it. You know, it's like a fresh new table. Right now, there's no shows that are anything like that right now, right? Like Pickers is not is gone. It's like they Bond Stars is gone. American Pickers is still around, but with different people. Well, not different people, but you know, the the bearded guy. He passed away. I think he passed away because he was sick. Yeah, he has some kind of weird, rare disease or something, you know, but I guess not like a brother and like another friend, uh-huh, and the chick are still doing it. Uh-huh. You know, but even that, the the main guy, the skinny dude, the the guy the tall mic, uh huh. He has another show that's called America's Best Picks or something like that.

Lano 55:17

Uh-huh.

Hockey Night Plus Texas Barbecue

Mig 55:18

Where he does like um, or maybe it was on that that I saw with the Dr. Pepper. Maybe it might have been that. Yeah, I don't even remember. But um, he does it where it's like it's not stuff that he found, but it's like stuff that he researched. And you know, it's like he's just telling the stories on it, like the coolest things ever found. Yeah. You know, here and there, like wherever. You know, so two two pretty good, two pretty good shows. I like them. That was that was that was a cool little spot to go check out. Um the first night there we did a Dallas Stars uh hockey game. Oh, hockey. Oh yeah. Uh man, exciting game. How was it? Like you're able to just go buy tickets like at the box office or whatever? Yeah, they already uh Shabby had already bought tickets.

Lano 56:10

Um just tell me, are they cheaper than like the way they are out here? Like I just think different markets.

Mig 56:16

Yeah, I I I think I think it's cheaper. Like you bought tickets in like they were kind of all the way up there, but you I mean you could hockey game, you could see. Yeah, you could see them. So and it was uh it was a good game because it was uh against Minnesota Wild. Okay and they were still jocking before the playoffs started, they're still jocking for yeah, dude. It was back and forth. It was ended up uh 5-4 uh stars, and it was a back and forth goal. It was a good game, man. So we did that, and then uh we tried this blue bonnet barbecue. Are you kidding me, man? I I I I usually don't get ribs, but I got the um the the ribs, the pork ribs. Delicious, man. Yeah. I mean that thing was just it was just falling off the damn bone, man. If I get ribs, dude, I'd much rather get pork than beef. Yeah. Only because the pork tends to be a come out a lot more tender. Yeah, dude. That that barbecue was delicious, man. And then um another food spot we had that there that everyone goes to, I guess, there, is uh a spot called Just Watch. It's a breakfast spot that everyone goes to Watch. Damn biscuits and gravy um point, man. Wow. Biscuits and gravy was damn delicious. Delicious. So that that was that that spot that spot was good. Just watch like that's the spot to go eat at breakfast. Everything was delicious there.

Lano 57:54

You said um that was where Dallas? Uh with Waxahachi. That's where the the hockey arena is at?

Mig 58:01

No, no, Dallas. Oh Dallas. So where we we flew in, we were in Dallas, so well actually we went in the morning, so we went to Waxahach and then we drove back to Dallas. How far drive is it? It's like probably 40 45 minutes. That's not too bad. Yeah. I mean, it's not too for us. Yeah. It's all damn highway mile over there. Yeah. But it's just it's just trippy seeing just being able to see no mountains over there, man. And then it's all flat. It's all flat.

Lano 58:31

It's flat. I think about that, it's like, man, I go. My dad has some half brothers that come over here and they're like, you guys live in the mountains. We're like, no, these are hills. Yeah. The mountains are like far back. Like, but we're like, That's funny.

Breweries And The IPA Problem

Mig 58:44

Like, I go over there, like, yeah, it's all like everything is green. Yeah. Oh, we hit a brewery there too. The first spot. Oh, nice brewery, man. Had like a backyard feel. Like, you just go, like, you go in, they have their spots inside, you walk on to the back, and it's just a whole rocky area. The trees are all green, and they have their lights up. Oh, it was like a beautiful like backyard area for the brewery. And that that thing was was was nice. And just how everything is just so green over there. But also being over there is like, man, we were like, there's no mountains or nothing, just just land. It's like kind of like, man, it kind of I know shit sometimes sucks here, but kind of love love my Kelly, man. Love my hills in my area over here. I was gonna I was gonna send you a video right now that you were talking about breweries. That just it's so funny to me, dude. That's it right there, Lana. Which one is it? The rail railport brewery. Railport Brewery Company. And uh it made me laugh so much because it was um it was about drinking IPAs and like first-time IPA drinkers.

Rick 1:00:04

Uh-huh.

Mig 1:00:04

And the dude. It's so funny, dude, because the guys like they're taking drinks and they're all like they're like, but they want to do it because everybody's all hip on these IPAs and shit. Yeah. You know, and so like the dude, though. I'm not a fan of it. I don't I don't like them.

Lano 1:00:21

It's too bitter, dude.

Mig 1:00:22

Yeah. And so the guy is like, well, once you get past the bitterness and everything, it's like, you know, yeah, I can tell that there's you know, the just the flavors there. Yeah, then they just keep on drinking. They're like, they're like, yeah, I can get used to this. That shit was so funny, dude. And I'm like, I'm the same thing, dude. It's like I think I'm like, dude, it's like IPAs that can't do it. Just too bitter, man. Too sour. And they got double IPA, and then and then you get one that tastes like decent or whatever, and like a real IPA drinker won't like it because it's not bitter or sour or whatever. And like I so like Vanessa likes hazies, and those are you'll get like a citrusy, sometimes so they're like real citrusy or whatever. I like I like reds, I like the damn no well. I like the damn wino, damn feeling, damn. Yeah, well, that's because that's you know, those are not IPAs. You know, that's my whole point.

Lano 1:01:23

Well, no, there's like there's I mean you can get your sours and all that stuff, but the IPAs are not a salad IPAs.

Mig 1:01:29

Nah, you gotta go. You gotta find a um a red or a or a hazy if you're gonna do those. They make red IPAs? Yeah. I don't know that. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Lano 1:01:41

Yeah, they do. I I think you think everything they sell at the brewery is an IPA, but it's not.

Mig 1:01:46

Oh man, I've had red IPAs. It's very rare. Even just for a damn red beer, they don't damn a lot of places don't make red beers. Yeah, reds and embers are they're pretty hard. Good reds and embers are hard to find. I think uh look at Escape over there in um look up Escape. I think they have a red IPA there. Was it Escape? It's in Texas or where is it? No, no, no, it's over here in um Escape Brewery? In in uh Colton Redlands? Or which one is it? Any one of those any one of those over there? Redlands or or no, I think it's Colton. Look at the menu. I think you're gonna see was that downtown Redlands?

Lano 1:02:35

No, they're both Redlands. One's um Oh okay. Did you ever go to that that one? Um don't do downtown. Do the look up that one, the Redlands. Did you ever do the um what? The Erundil, that brew house or the that brew yard or something? Oh no.

Mig 1:02:52

That was your home. No, they they they didn't have there's nothing there.

Lano 1:02:57

Alright, let's see the tap list. There's nothing there. Let's see these and none of these right here are are IPAs right here. Those are fruity and sour. We'll get the hoppies. Teeth, dual coast, multi-darse, road range.

Mig 1:03:18

Road range. Oh yeah, road range.

Lano 1:03:21

Right there. Yeah, that's just a red ale though.

Mig 1:03:26

Oh, that's yeah, it's just a red ale. Irish red ale. Yeah. I don't remember road range.

Lano 1:03:44

Well yeah, it's like over here, West Coast IP. West Coast IP. Double IP, yeah.

Mig 1:03:53

I don't know. Can't do it. Can't do it. I think you just gotta find the one that you like. Because even to find like a good, I mean it just depends on the brewery, man. Sometimes you go to breweries and they don't just have they don't have a good one. They just don't have it. I mean, I have my share of it. And then everyone just goes, then they when they don't like none of that, they just go with whatever lager they got. Yeah. Or blonde.

Lano 1:04:20

Mig 1:04:23

Lano 1:04:34

Oh, that that started up.

Mig 1:04:36

Saturday. Well, it's all the whole month. Oh, and we did a Renaissance fair over there. Oh, yeah. Right there in Waxahachi. Way better. That thing is way better, though. It's because you it's like a forest, like the land is like all green and it's all foresty. And no, it's like it's it's they they got the wherever they have it, it's in Waxaha, Waxahachi. And they have their their buildings that are that just look like the villages that are that are that look permanent. Like they're there. Like you, it's not something they build. It's just that's what it's for. And I don't know if they have other events there, but yeah, Scarborough. This is it, this is the one? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the whole.
